Yareli tightened her grip around the strap of her bag. It turned out that Tamara, that mute, would be able to speak very soon!Wasn’t Tamara congenitally disabled?How on earth did things turn out this way?Old Mr. Lynch glared coldly at her. “You’d better put those thoughts of yours away. Once the babies are born, just make sure you play your part as their grandmother well. Don’t even think about doing anything else.”An emotion flashed in Yareli’s eyes. She nodded. “Understood, Dad.”Mr. Lynch got in the car and left. Yareli took out her phone and dialed William’s number. “Hello? Dad said that Tamara would be getting her voice back soon. What will become of our plans?”William’s voice turned cold. “When exactly will she be getting her voice back?”“Dad said she would get her voice back after she gives birth to the babies. Gosh, how despicable!” Yareli exclaimed, getting even more furious by the minute.William replied, “Find a way to make sure that she never gets it back!”Y
Jerome spoke in a cautious tone.Meanwhile, Anthony said with a straight face, “I managed to get hold of one of them. I already have him locked up somewhere.”Sebastian looked over at Anthony. “Interrogate him, then. If he doesn’t tell you anything, use torture. Do everything you can to make him talk!”Anthony nodded, then turned away and left the ward.Jerome was taken aback. He stared at Anthony’s receding figure blankly for a long moment.Why was it that he hadn’t been able to dig up any information on those henchmen, yet Anthony had managed to get one of them in custody?That was totally unfair!Suddenly, he felt a chilling gaze directed at him. Jerome snapped back to his senses, then saw that Sebastian was glaring at him. “President Lynch, do you need me for anything else?”“Get me more information on the Morrison Corporation’s representative.”Sebastian retracted his gaze and ordered coldly.Jerome nodded. “Yes, sir. I’ll get to it right away.”Then, he scrambled to ge
Tamara was taken aback. She blinked curiously and signed, “Why are you looking at me like that?”“Were you glad when James came to your rescue?”Sebastian’s handsome face had darkened, his gaze fixed on hers.Tamara blinked, then answered honestly, “His sudden appearance surprised me. Obviously, I was relieved that someone had come to my aid.”Sebastian pursed his thin lips. His body exuded a cold aura, and his gaze grew displeased.Tamara pouted. “But when you appeared, I had another line of thought. I was relieved that you were finally there. I think I would have passed out from fear if you had arrived later.”Sebastian was stunned for a moment. Then, the dark expression on his face lightened. “The fact that he had appeared in the nick of time shows that he’s been keeping a close eye on you. I won’t fault you for feeling thankful for his help, but you don’t have to feel like you owe him anything because of it.”Tamara blinked her clear eyes. “But if I do that, wouldn’t I appea
At this moment, someone knocked on the ward’s door.Sebastian eyed Tamara for a moment before he got up and made his way out of the ward.Anthony was waiting outside.“The hostage wouldn’t say anything no matter what.”Sebastian frowned. His voice grew hoarse as he asked, “The others managed to get out of Londsville?”Anthony nodded. “That’s right.”Sebastian reached up to knead the skin between his brows. “Alright, understood. You can head back now.”Anthony looked inside the ward with a concerned look on his face. “How is Miss Simmons?”“She’s doing okay.”Anthony nodded, then spun on his heel and left.A moment later, Sebastian took out his phone and called someone.The call was quickly answered. From the other end, a sluggish voice could be heard. “Why, hello there. Look who’s calling.”“Simon, I need you to get me information on someone,” Sebastian said coldly.Simon’s laugh was audible over the phone. “Are you talking to me?”Sebastian sneered. “If you don’t do as I
Tamara’s lips curled into a smile. Then, she signed, “I’m hungry. Let’s eat.”Sebastian nodded. “Alright.”Then, he pulled out his phone and made a call. Ms. Thompson arrived at the ward 20 minutes later with some lunchboxes. She couldn’t help but feel her heart aching when she saw how pale Tamara was.“What sort of hooligan messes with a pregnant woman? They’re so despicable!” Ms. Thompson couldn’t help but remark as she looked at Tamara.Tamara smiled and leaned against the headboard. She put a hand on her belly to feel her babies move.She was grateful that her babies were okay.Ms. Thompson brought some of Tamara’s favorites. The housekeeper turned to Sebastian and said, “Young Mr. Lynch, here’s what you’ve asked for.”Then, she passed him a box.Tamara stared at it and realized it was the box Sebastian used to store the scented tea leaves.Sebastian accepted it, then turned to Tamara. “Do you want to take a look at them?”Tamara nodded and reached out her hands.Concern
Tamara turned towards the sound and noticed an elderly man with gray hair standing next to her. The old man was dressed in a suit, and his face was riddled with wrinkles, but he appeared lively. He seemed to exude a calm aura that he had successfully cultivated over the years. Anyone who saw him would be unable to contain their awe.Tamara gave him a long look. She didn’t know why, but something didn’t feel right. This old man bore no resemblance to the man who had kidnapped her previously.The one who had kidnapped her before seemed to be a lot slimmer. Furthermore, the man from before had glared at her viciously and seemed eager to tear her from limb to limb.On the other hand, this old man didn’t even look at her. Nonetheless, the man’s expression revealed a hint of arrogance stemming from his sense of superiority.Though she was the only person around, she could not tell why the old man would ask her such a question.Tamara’s eyes filled with curiosity. Then, she typed on her
Sebastian shot her a teasing look. “Well, I suppose you’re allowed to think about other avenues in which your strength can be of use. After all, it is true that you don’t have enough strength for…certain activities.”Tamara was speechless.She dabbed her mouth with a napkin before getting up and leaving the dining room to sit in the living room.Sebastian stood up, trailed behind her, and sat right next to her. On the other hand, Tamara maneuvered her heavy body to face the other way as he leaned in closer.Sebastian cocked a brow. He observed her and found that the woman looked nothing but calm. Her eyes were fixed on the TV. There was no way for him to discern any other emotion.However, the fact that he couldn’t tell how Tamara felt wasn’t going to deter him.Tamara moved further away from him as he leaned toward her once more. She eventually found herself leaning against the end of the sofa. If she were to go any further, she would end up on the floor. As such, she had no cho
Margot was taken aback for a moment. When she turned around, she discovered her leg was caught in seaweed. She quickly leaned back to untangle herself.However, something strange was happening. The more she tried to untangle herself, the tighter the seaweed seemed to wrap around her. It felt as if the seaweed was deliberately working against her.She was currently in a deep part of the ocean. The oxygen in the tank would only last her about 15 minutes. She would drown if she didn’t make it back in time.Margot was a seasoned diver. She was, therefore, initially unafraid. However, she began to panic once she found that she had difficulty untangling the seaweed around her leg.What was happening?She was merely snorkeling for fun, yet the seaweed seemed determined to keep her down there.Could it be that there was some mysterious force working against her?The more nervous she was, the more nonsensical thoughts began to fill her mind. Margot began to panic.At this moment, her ox
