Tamara slept for an hour. After waking up, she went downstairs for food.Ms. Thompson had made her some delicious food and placed it on the dining table. The housekeeper looked a little distraught.Tamara’s clear eyes flickered. “Ms. Thompson, is something wrong?”Ms. Thompson pointed outside. “The woman who insisted on seeing you is still outside.”Tamara was taken aback. Then she remembered what the maids had said and deduced that it was most likely the waitress from the night before.She couldn’t believe the woman had waited outside for over an hour.Tamara furrowed her brows. Did this imply that the waitress wanted to thank her regardless? Did this mean that if Tamara didn’t show up, that woman would wait out there forever?How was this any different from a blatant threat?After everything that had happened, Tamara became more vigilant. “Tell her that I will not entertain her no matter what. If she doesn’t leave, get the guards to escort her away.”Ms. Thompson nodded. “Al
The man was unprepared for Margot’s ferocity. He let out a pained yelp and loosened his hold over her mouth.“Help!”Once Margot’s mouth was no longer covered, she yelled as loudly as she could. She then sprinted in an attempt to open the door.However, before she could reach the doorway, the man had already pressed her against the wall.“Shut up! If you yell one more time, I’ll kill you!” The man glared at Margot, and his hoarse voice made the ends of her hair stand up.Margot paled. “Who the hell are you? Why do you keep tailing me?”After getting into the elevator, she could feel the man’s eyes on her the entire time. She hadn’t bothered to be wary at first, but it turned out that she had been too careless.“I just need to hide here for a little while. I’ll leave in an hour. You’re not allowed to make any weird noises while I’m here, alright? If you do, I’m going to make you regret it!” The man squeezed Margot’s shoulders with broad palms.Margot winced from the pain, then f
The man leaned in. His face was only a few inches away from Margot’s, hidden behind a black mask. His eyes were completely exposed to Margot, causing her to widen hers.“Benjamin? Is that you? What are you doing? Why are you pretending not to know who I am? Untie me, already!”Margot had previously been unable to look the man in the eyes properly. She simply thought the man was odd. When she made eye contact with those familiar eyes, she nearly burst into tears from the flood of emotions that had welled up inside her!The man frowned. “I’m not Benjamin. You’re mistaken.”Margot was taken aback. “That’s not possible. You’re clearly him! Take your mask off!”The man glared at her with disdain. “I need you to shut up. If you keep talking, I’ll tape your mouth shut.”Margot stared at her in shock. “Benjamin, what on earth happened to you?”She was certain that those pair of eyes belonged to Benjamin.The man was clearly Benjamin Inkling!However, what on earth happened to that man
“What happened?” When the doctor saw Benjamin, he looked at him curiously.Benjamin replied coldly, “I ran into a crazy woman.”The woman had been so difficult. She kept insisting that he was someone called Benjamin Inkling. Who the hell was that?He knew for a fact that it wasn’t him.The doctor couldn’t help but chuckle. “Could it be that your good looks managed to attract the woman’s attention?”Benjamin took out the item from his pocket and passed it to the doctor. “Here.”The doctor cocked his brow as he received it. “This is something that is extremely difficult for anyone to obtain. You’re quite resourceful, aren’t you?”Benjamin did not respond. His expression remained cold. He swept his gaze over the item, looking as if it meant nothing to him at all.To him, as long as he had his sights set on something, acquiring it was as easy as pie.“In the meantime, you should rest. We’ll have to resume treatment,” the doctor said before going to keep the item inside the room.
“If someone’s really out to kill you, you should call the police. You shouldn’t drag other people into your mess, especially someone who has helped you.” Ms. Thompson walked over and glared coldly at Isabella.Isabella froze. “But… Eugenia’s influence is too big. If I were to report her to the police, the police would never side with me…”“That won’t happen. If you tell the police everything, the police will protect you. You shouldn’t seek help from Young Mrs. Lynch.” Ms. Thompson looked at her. “Can’t you see that she’s heavily pregnant right now? With such a huge belly, you should thank your lucky stars that she had even been kind enough to help you, yet you’re trying to take advantage of her kindness once more?”“But Eugenia only threatened to kill me because of Young Mrs. Lynch!” Isabella bit her lower lip. Her eyes were red, and tears streamed down her cheeks. She stared at Tamara. “Eugenia despises Young Mrs. Lynch. I accidentally laughed at her yesterday, so she took out her
“The concert will take place tonight. All you two have to do is show up when the time comes. I’ll be in the concert hall waiting for you.” Yareli got up and left after placing the concert tickets on the table.She could not bear to see how intimate Sebastian and Tamara were acting.Whether Yareli liked Tamara or not, as Sebastian’s wife, Tamara should treat her husband with warmth and kindness rather than be spoiled by him. Sebastian seemed to run everything by her. Yareli was unable to understand the nature of their arrangement.…Sebastian placed his broad palms on Tamara’s belly. Suddenly, he felt a strong kick. Sebastian’s dark eyes filled with surprise. “The one who kicked me must be a naughty boy.”Tamara’s bright eyes twinkled. “What if it is a girl?”“I can’t imagine a girl kicking that hard. Listen here, you little brat. If you kick one more time, I’ll spank you when you’re born!” Sebastian warned sternly when he felt another kick under his palm.“You’re kicking my wife
Tamara turned her head quickly and saw that Isabella had locked her in the washroom. The waitress’ eyes were red as she stared at her.“Young Mrs. Lynch, I’m going to beg you one last time. Will you please help me?” Isabella inched closer to Tamara with something in her hand.Tamara looked at the woman for a moment before pursing her beautiful lips. Then, she typed on her phone. The text said, “You’re operating as Eugenia’s lackey right now. You’re helping her bring harm to me, aren’t you?”Isabella gave Tamara some time to type on her phone. She looked at Tamara’s bulging belly and was suddenly reminded that if Tamara hadn’t helped her the other day, she would’ve lost both of her hands.That made Isabella hesitate. “Young Mrs. Lynch, I’m really thankful for your help, but your kindness caused Eugenia to treat me this way. She hit me and threatened to kill me. I don’t want to die. I’m just an ordinary citizen. All I want is to live a simple life.”Isabella took a few steps closer
Eugenia was ruthlessly dragged away by the police.Yareli’s expression darkened significantly. “Seb, what is the meaning of this? Don’t you know we would collaborate with the Cooper family’s company?”“Will the Lynch family’s business go bankrupt without them?” Sebastian’s thin lips curled into a sardonic smile.He did not care that Yareli looked upset. Sebastian left the concert hall with Tamara in his arms.In the car, Tamara pursed her lips.When Sebastian glanced over at her, he couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s wrong?”“My phone’s broken.” Tamara looked at Sebastian, aggrieved.That phone had been with her for several years. She didn’t think it would get destroyed this quickly, nor did she anticipate Eugenia’s rash reaction.Tamara’s pitiful look amused Sebastian. “It’s just a phone. I’ll buy you a new one. I can even buy you an extra one if you fancy.”Tamara was rendered speechless.She could no longer hold in her laughter. The atmosphere in the car did not seem as tens
The bed was also adorned in striking white. Margot's bridal gown gradually slipped off, and her hair spread out behind her on the bed. Her smooth skin shone beneath the dazzling light.Benjamin stared at her. "Margot, you have to spend the rest of your life making up for your lies.""Okay," Margot agreed without hesitation.The temperature in the room rose, and the night had just begun.It was as Tamara said. Because of their tragic past, the heavens decided to bless them in this life. They lived happily ever after from that day onward.Benjamin successfully inherited the Inkling Corporation. A year later, Margot gave birth to a daughter. She resembled Benjamin and was as beautiful as a doll.Their little girl grew up in a loving family, and the love between Margot and Benjamin only grew with time. They developed Nammu Bay, transforming it into a popular tourist destination.Another year passed, and Tamara and Sebastian got married. The wedding was almost identical to the one fr
The newlywed walked into the wedding hall hand in hand.The wedding hall was also well-decorated. Shane, Trevor, Jacob, and Alex sat in the front row.The host congratulated the couple, and after the couple exchanged rings, the crowd erupted in cheers. The wedding went past quickly. And when Margot was led to her bridal room, she was still very much in a daze.Because of Margot's condition, she had to leave early and let Benjamin deal with the guests alone.As time passed, Margot grew more and more anxious. But she didn't dare move a muscle. Benjamin had told her to keep the veil on and wait for him.Margot had never been this obedient before. But she had no choice. Disobeying wouldn't do. What if her husband ran away?Just then, the door opened. Margot's heart tightened, and she immediately went tense in anticipation.A faint stench of alcohol wafted over, and she saw his shoes from under the veil.He was standing before her but made no move to greet her.Margot couldn't help
When the others saw Benjamin standing still in a daze, they all asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why did he stop?""What is he thinking about?""Did he lose his mind because he was too excited to meet his bride?"Someone made a joke, and others burst into laughter.Downstairs, Sebastian exchanged looks with Tamara, who was upstairs. His gaze returned to Benjamin.The wedding had been going on smoothly. But it seemed that Benjamin's memories might be their biggest challenge.Now that Benjamin had recovered his memories, what would he do next?However, Benjamin quickly came back to his senses. He walked forward calmly until he reached the door. As his gaze swept over Tamara and Natasha, a small smile appeared on his face.Tamara piped up, "Mr. Inkling, Nat and I had planned to set up some challenges for you. However, considering the hardships you and Margot have gone through, those challenges seem trivial in front of you. So, I thought, why not give you a clear path that led
"Shit! Isn't that too ruthless?""Leave it to the four Moore brothers to pull this trick!""Stop standing around and start drinking!"Benjamin watched on without any change in expression. He turned to the last row of men and smiled. "I'll leave the first round to you."Those men were all eager to try. They rolled up their sleeves and loosened their ties, their eyes gleaming with excitement.Benjamin made room for them, and they eagerly stepped forward. They picked up the glasses and downed them in one gulp."Let's go!" The cheers that erupted motivated them further. But despite their fierce drinking, they were no match for the abundant alcohol. When they looked up, they found that they were only halfway through. Some of them were already feeling tipsy!Sunlight spilled onto the drinks. A gentle breeze caused ripples on the liquid, resembling scattered stars.The men noticed the entrance was within arm's reach, and they gritted their teeth to endure the torture.Harris was th
The morning sunlight bathed the earth, casting a brilliant glow on every corner of Simmons Residence. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. In the room, the styling team was already in position. They first helped Margot into the wedding gown and began styling her hair.Although Margot never decided on her bridal makeup, she did try each style. To surprise her, Benjamin accompanied her to try out the bridal makeup but kept the final choice from her.Now, dressed in the beautiful wedding gown, Margot remembered the makeup styles she had tried before, and a smile graced her face. Tamara and Natasha also changed into their bridesmaid dresses. The makeup artist was working on them when Alex walked in with a gentle smile. "Have you done your preparation for the challenges?"Tamara gave a thumbs up. "Don't worry, Mom. I won't let them take your daughter away easily."Alex giggled. "That won't do. We have to see if Margot agrees."Margot immediately exclaimed, "I'm all in favor!"
"You're right!" Tamara exclaimed, and the three women chatted for a while before gradually falling asleep.In the Inkling Manor, lights were on, and a festive atmosphere filled every corner. Wealthy young men who knew Benjamin gathered there, celebrating the night.A few people sat on the couch by the pool. There were various drinks on the table. Jack picked up a bottle and praised, "This is a good wine. It's at least 30 years old! You're going all out, Mr. Inkling."Benjamin's face carried a contented smile. "It's my big day, so let's all have a good time together."Jack gave him a thumbs up. "You're very generous, Mr. Inkling."The others laughed along.Benjamin turned to Sebastian and suddenly smiled. "Why are you so calm? When we go over tomorrow, I wonder what challenges Tamara has for you."Sebastian calmly muttered, "She'll only cause trouble for you."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "You're quite confident. I can't wait to see you eat your words tomorrow."Sebastian shrugg
Margot responded, "Yes, but I believe he will recover his memory soon."Joseph chuckled. "It doesn't matter if he does recover his memory. He loves you either way."A sweet smile appeared on Margot's face.He was right. Benjamin loved her with or without his memories. Nothing could ever change that.Joseph gazed at Margot for a while before shifting his gaze away. He turned to the night sky outside. "It seems that tonight will be a special one."Margot looked at him. "Do you have any plans for the future, Joseph?"Joseph smiled. "I will work for Moore Corporation. After all, I'm the only one in our family who studied business."Margot's eyes flickered. Joseph's life was still the same as in her past life. He would still manage Moore Corporation while the other brothers shine in their respective fields."That's great! I'll have a powerful backer now. I can just mention your name if someone bullies me. As the cousin of the Moore Corporation's president, no one would dare lay thei
Margot reached out to touch the wedding gown, feeling the expensive fabric. Every stitch and thread carried Benjamin's love for her. She looked up at Tamara. "I'm scared, Tammy."Tamara seemed to know what she was afraid of and hugged her close. "Don't be. This is real. It's really happening.Tears welled up in Margot's eyes. Tamara understood her the best. She feared this was just a dream, an illusion she would wake up from. There was no rebirth, cat-and-mouse games, or Nammu Bay destruction. Everything was just a trick her mind had made up.After all this time, Margot finally felt fear.She held onto Tamara tightly. Even when tears streamed down, Margot didn't dare to blink, afraid that she would return to a cold room if she did, a world without him.Tamara gently stroked her back. "Hold me tight, Margot. I'm real. You've felt the wedding dress. That's real, too. Nothing is an illusion. It was all real."Margot finally calmed down. She suddenly felt embarrassed. "Sorry about
"I do! I do want to be your daughter," Margot hurriedly exclaimed. She looked flustered. "I was just a bit overwhelmed. I never expected this. Aunt Alex, I …"Tamara laughed. "Since you're now her daughter, why aren't you referring to her as your mom?"Margot felt even more embarrassed!She grew up in an orphanage and had little concept of parental love. Although she had fantasized about having a mother like Tamara's, it was just a dream. She didn't have a mother. That was why she felt close to Alex. With Alex officially adopting Margot as her daughter, Margot gained a mother from that point onward.Margot's eyes watered. No matter how hard she tried to hold it in, she couldn't stop the tears from falling.Seeing this, Alex quickly took out tissues to wipe them away. "Don't cry. You'll get wrinkles if you cry."But the comforting words only made it worse.Margot threw herself into Alex's arms.Alex comforted Margot patiently, her eyes also glossing over.However, Jacob fr
