Tamara became incredibly emotional. Her typing grew frantic. “You knew my mother? Is my mother truly a member of Clacton’s prestigious Moore family?”When Mr. Barlowe saw that Tamara was on the verge of tears due to her excitement, he said, “Let’s not talk about her. Back then, she left home in a fit of anger. It was cruel of her to do so. We haven’t heard from her for over 40 years now. I’m still very angry with her.”Tamara was taken aback. She didn’t know that her mother had left home that way.What on earth happened to her mother that made her do that?However, it was clear that Mr. Barlowe did not want to delve into the topic further. “Show me your wrist. I need to take your pulse.”When Tamara noticed how unhappy Mr. Barlowe looked, she decided not to pursue the topic anymore. She showed the old doctor her hand without a fuss.Sebastian was sitting beside her. A complicated emotion flashed in his eyes.Was Tamara’s mother really a descendant of the Moore family in Clacton?
Mr. Barlowe seemed to have aged several decades all of a sudden. The coldness in his eyes had dissipated. “Take me to your mother’s grave.”Tamara pursed her lips and nodded. Then, she glanced at Sebastian. “Let’s go to the cemetery.”Sebastian nodded. “Alright.”No one had expected the situation to develop in this direction. However, if Tamara’s mother had indeed been Alex Moore, it meant that Tamara was part of the prestigious Moore family of Clacton.With that thought in mind, Sebastian flashed a faint smile.It would certainly be great news.…The weather was perfect in the cemetery. The cemetery had been well-maintained.Tamara led Mr. Barlowe to her mother’s grave. She had been buried alongside her mother. Her parents’ names were carved into the gravestone.Upon staring at her mother’s name, Mr. Barlowe could not help but shed a few tears.“You little brat. You’ve always been stubborn. Nothing can stop you once you’ve made up your mind. You abandoned your family for tha
Anthony stood quietly by the car, looking around vigilantly.The two cars had appeared out of nowhere. When Sebastian got out of the car, several people began to pile out from the two cars in question. Each of them had a steel pipe in hand.They walked up to Sebastian, sporting intimidating stances. All of them wore blank expressions on their faces.When Tamara saw them, her eyes widened in surprise. She glanced at Sebastian with concern.There were so many of them. Tamara did a rough calculation and found that there were around 15 men.How could Sebastian beat all of them at once?Sebastian only gave those men a passing glance before removing his suit jacket. His handsome face then lit up icily as he loosened his collar. He had an intimidating and wild aura about him.One of the men with a steel pipe in hand rushed up to him all of a sudden. Sebastian dodged the attack easily and snatched the steel pipe from the man’s hand. Then, he began to hit everyone who approached him with
He turned toward Tamara and smiled. “Wait for me at home, will you?”Tamara nodded. “Safe travels.”Sebastian planted a kiss on her cheek, then got out.Another car had been tailing them from behind. Sebastian got into it and left promptly.Tamara retracted her gaze and continued to watch the video she had just recorded.She had captured the perfect angle, showcasing all the moves Sebastian had made in the fight. His entire being seemed to glow with ethereal light due to the excellent lighting.Tamara couldn’t help but smile. She then put down her phone and decided to save the video for later when she was bored.The driver started the car and drove in the direction of Skarrowlilt Grove.However, when Tamara noticed the unfamiliar route, she began to frown. She used her phone’s GPS to check Skarrowlilt Grove’s location and found they could also take this new route back home.However, why would the driver suddenly switch routes without any warning?Tamara instantly became vigil
Tamara woke up gradually. The strange scent from before still lingered in her nose. It was the smell of chloroform. She widened her eyes and looked around to find that she was in an unfamiliar room.Many people surrounded her, but one of the men was sitting in a chair. He had a mask covering most of his face and was glaring at her with ferocity.Shocked, Tamara’s eyes widened even further. She hurriedly tried to get up, holding her stomach as she did. Her movements were incredibly clumsy.“Tamara Simmons.”An electronic voice changer had altered the man’s voice. Even so, Tamara could clearly detect the pure hatred in his tone.Tamara signed, “Who are you?”However, the person in question did not know how to read sign language. He frowned at her and said, “I can’t understand you, but judging by the look on your face, I can already guess what you’ve just asked.”Tamara looked at him warily, holding her stomach as she tried to straighten her posture with difficulty.The man sneere
A loud bang sounded.“Tamara!”At this point, the door slammed open, and a figure dashed inside!When she recognized the familiar voice, she wondered if she was hallucinating. She caught a glimpse of James fighting his way through the sea of henchmen after she had calmed down a little. He walked up to her to help her up.“Are you alright?” When James saw how pale Tamara was, his voice trembled with concern.Tamara nodded. Her breathing quickened. She did not expect James to show up here.“I’ll explain everything to you after I get you out. Come on, let’s go,” James said after noticing the questioning look on Tamara’s face.“Young Mr. Gladwell, you’re disobeying Mr. Morrison’s orders directly!” Once the henchmen recovered, they barricaded the exit.Young Mr. Gladwell?These men referred to James with such familiarity.Could it be that the person behind her kidnapping was someone close to James? Perhaps someone from the Morrison family?Could it be James’ father?Tamara was t
“It’s in my pocket…” James’ breathing grew heavier as his face became paler by the minute.He looked as if he were on the brink of passing out.Tamara trembled as she sought his phone out. Eventually, she managed to call for an ambulance, but Tamara paled when the emergency operator asked her some questions.She could not speak, so there was no way that she could explain the situation…James took over the call. “I’m hurt. We’re at…”He stated their address, then promptly passed out.Tamara was taken aback. She began to smack his face with wide eyes.“James Gladwell, wake up! Don’t you dare fall unconscious!” she screamed inwardly.She was out of breath from all the crying. It did not take long for an ambulance to arrive. The paramedics lifted James onto a stretcher and carried him out.A nurse helped Tamara up. “How are you doing? Do you feel ill at all?”Tamara shook her head, and her gaze was still fixed on James.The nurse helped her down the stairs. However, just as the
Sebastian’s expression frosted over. His thin lips pursed into a straight line, and it did not seem like he had any intentions of answering.Old Mr. Lynch did not say much and merely sat in a chair nearby.Yareli glanced over at the emergency room. Her eyes darkened as she said, “I can’t stand Tamara. Is she not aware that she’s heavily pregnant? Why would she wander about in such a vulnerable state? She had been set up so many times already. Does she not know how to keep herself safe? If anything happens to my grandchildren, I’ll make her pay for it!”“How are you planning to do that?”A low, hoarse voice rang out. It sounded borderline emotionless. Dark, cold eyes fell onto Yareli. Anyone who was subjected to such coldness would be chilled to the bone!Yareli’s expression darkened. “Seb, how can you speak to your own mother this way?”Sebastian retracted his gaze. “If you keep taking digs at Tamara, I won’t go soft on you, no matter who you are.”“You!”Yareli was shocked. Ha
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
