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.
