Benjamin’s gaze fell onto her body and unconsciously drifted towards her low, open collar. He could see her bountiful cleavage, which seemed to be enticing him on purpose. Her posture remained leisurely.“What’s your name?” Benjamin asked, his voice hoarse.Margot’s expression darkened. “You don’t even remember my name? You can just refer to me as ‘wifey’”Benjamin fell silent.He swallowed sensually, then made a call using the room’s phone.Upon hearing the gist of the phone call, Margot hurriedly set her cup down. “What are you doing? You’re planning to send me to another room, aren’t you?”Benjamin glared at her coldly. “I have no idea who you are, nor do I believe anything you just said. I’ll get someone to retrieve your things. Before anything gets confirmed, you’re not allowed to be in my line of sight.”Margot was shocked. She widened her eyes. “Benjamin, is that an order? I don’t care. I want to stay here. I’m going to hang onto you like a leech! You’ll never be rid of m
Back in Londsville at Skarrowlilt Grove.Tamara’s afternoon nap lasted for a short while. After she woke up, she went to take a stroll around the garden.The weather was getting colder by the day. As such, she had to wear a thick coat whenever she went outside.That, however, meant that she was carrying extra weight. She would get tired after taking a few steps forward.She took a seat on a bench and couldn’t help but sigh. She stroked her belly with a smile on her face.Eight months had passed. Her babies were going to be born soon.She started to imagine what her triplets would look like.Would one of them look like her, one like Sebastian, and the third one an equal mix of their features?Or would one look like her, while the other two like Sebastian? She wouldn’t mind at all.Tamara pondered for a moment. The sound of a car engine could be heard outside the gate at this time.When she turned to face the source, she noticed a car parked outside. Yareli got out of it.Tama
Yareli continued to speak. “Tamara, why can’t you just abide by this contract? You’ll receive nothing but kind treatment from our family. We will not let you go empty-handed. How does ten million dollars sound? With that amount, you can live comfortably for the rest of your life.”Seeing how arrogant Yareli was acting, Tamara suddenly smiled. Then, she pulled out her phone and sent a text to Sebastian.Tamara: “Your mother just offered me ten million dollars to abide by the divorce agreement from when we first met.”Once she sent the text, her phone rang. Tamara cocked a brow, surprised at how quickly Sebastian responded.She answered the call and put it on speaker.“Mom.”Sebastian’s deep voice sounded through the phone.Yareli’s expression darkened. She glared at Tamara and said, “This wife of yours is really something. She’s really keen on destroying our mother-son relationship.”Sebastian’s voice lacked warmth. “I did not sign the divorce agreement. That means it will never
Tamara knew more than just making scented tea.Tamara couldn’t help but smile at the thought of being the breadwinner of her family. She imagined Sebastian to be the trophy house husband with his good looks. The idea sounded pretty good.Her husband had pretty great features…In her mind, she saw Sebastian’s handsome, charming face. Tamara couldn’t help but close her eyes as she lost herself in her imagination. After all, the man was a sight to behold. Even though they had been together for a long while, Tamara found that her heart still fluttered at the sight of him.While Tamara got lost in her thoughts, her phone suddenly buzzed, indicating that she had received a text.Sebastian: “I’m afraid you won’t be able to afford to pay for my lifestyle.”Tamara was surprised. She replied, “Wow, I didn’t know you were such a snob. Won’t making millions a month be enough?”Sebastian: “Barely.”Sebastian pouted for a moment before sending Tamara a follow-up text.Sebastian: “I can make
Yareli left the house gracefully. Once she arrived at ST Corporation, she spotted a few people standing outside the conference room. Upon seeing her, chatter broke out.“Mrs. Lynch, don’t you think this meeting is too sudden? Are we really going to expel Seb?”“Yeah, I agree. It’s not like Seb has done anything majorly wrong.”“Have you discussed this with Seb at all? This is all too sudden.”“Does Old Mr. Lynch know about this? He still holds five percent of the company’s shares. If he were to transfer them to Seb, whatever you and William plan to do today would be all for nothing. You’ll only be embarrassing yourselves!”Yareli’s face wore a sophisticated smile. “Of course, I spoke with Seb about it. As you know, that mute managed to get into Seb’s good graces and refused to divorce him no matter what. Since she’s after the Lynch family’s power, the only way to get her off his back is to make sure she doesn’t have access to it. She’ll definitely become conciliatory and agree to
Jerome was all smiles. “Mrs. Lynch, President Lynch wants me to show you something.”“What is it?”Yareli frowned slightly.Jerome said, “Please come with me.”Yareli eyed him suspiciously before following him into Sebastian’s office. Sebastian was nowhere to be seen, but a bag was on the table.“What’s this?”Jerome explained, “You’ll know once you take a closer look. I’ll be waiting outside.”Yareli’s expression had darkened significantly. “What’s with all the mystery?”Then, she went ahead and looked inside the bag.Yareli walked out of the president’s office with a pale face half an hour later. She appeared disoriented.“Yareli, what’s wrong?”All of the shareholders had been waiting for Yareli for a long time. Everyone was already in attendance. Mr. Bronske approached Yareli and inquired after noticing how strangely off she appeared.“It’s nothing.”Yareli tried her best to maintain her composure to allude to everyone that nothing was out of the ordinary.“Has everyo
Sebastian said coldly, “Mom, I’ve already drawn up the share transfer agreement. Let’s sign it now.”With that, he took out a document.“Sebastian Lynch, you’ve been planning this for a while, haven’t you?” Yareli glared at him. She had not expected to fall into her son’s trap like this!Sebastian pushed the document toward her. “Do you really think I’d care about a small business like ST, Mom?”Yareli looked flustered after hearing that. She fell against a chair and asked, “What have you found out?”Sebastian’s expression remained cold. “Sign the contract.”Yareli’s lips quivered. She could not get any words out for a long while.She grabbed a pen and shakily signed her name. She had nothing left to her name once she had finished signing it.It meant that she had nothing to do with ST Corporation any more.Sebastian briefly skimmed the signed document and then left the conference room. He hadn’t even spared Yareli a second look.Yareli had grown pale. Her supple face had tur
It was a picture of Tamara’s mother when she was younger. Her mother’s wrists were bright red with blood stains, and her face was pale.Her mother had tried hurting herself before!Tamara covered her mouth in shock. She stared at the photo in disbelief, recalling her mother’s wrist, which was adorned with the jade bracelet. Tamara distinctly recalled seeing the scars on her mother’s wrists when she had worn the emerald green bracelet.She recalled asking her mother how she got those scars when she was younger.Her mother informed her at the time that she had unintentionally scratched herself and that the scratch had left a scar on her sensitive skin.Tamara hadn’t expected that to be a lie!She looked at her mother’s photo for a long time. Her mother’s features were delicate and beautiful, but her complexion was too pale. Her eyes were lifeless, and she appeared to have lost all hope in the world.How did this happen?What on earth happened?While Tamara pondered on the matter
