Three days earlier, across the ocean.Margot had just taken her phone and other belongings from the crew member and was about to close the door. However, the crew member had no intention of leaving. He stopped the door with one hand.“What are you doing?”Margot regarded the man warily.He merely smiled. “Miss, could you please give me your phone number? May I come over later tonight?”Margot knew that the outfit she had on was revealing. As such, she had meant to shut the door right after she retrieved her items. Who knew that the crew member would be so bold?Her beautiful face darkened. “No way. Fuck off.”She said rudely, then went to shut the door.However, the crew member managed to force his way into the room. “Miss, you’re gorgeous. I really like your legs. If you could wrap them around my body, I’m sure it would feel great.”The crew member kept staring at Margot, his gaze growing strange with time. He was saying some very explicit things.Margot’s expression stiffen
Benjamin’s eyes widened. He rushed inside and caught a quick glimpse of what was taking place. He turned back and yelled, “Get out!”The manager and attendant who came in with him froze for a moment before rushing out as asked.Then, Benjamin rushed over to the bed and pushed the crew member out of bed. Then, he punched the guy in the face.The crew member did not think that anyone else would come in. His face hurt so much that he found it difficult to stand.In the next second, he felt himself getting punched over and over again all over his body. Almost all of the bones in his body felt like they were going to be fractured!The intense pain caused the crew member to pass out.Benjamin only stopped punching the man once his fists were stained red. His eyes seemed to glow with fury as he landed a kick at the crew member’s crotch.The man screamed in pain and covered his private parts with both hands.Benjamin opened the door and tossed the crew member out. The manager and atten
Benjamin pinched Margot’s slender waist with his hands. “Concentrate. Do you know who I am?”Margot blinked her dazed eyes open. “You’re Benjamin… Benjamin Inkling.”When Benjamin heard Margot purr out his name like that, the fiery lust in his eyes seemed to intensify. He leaned over and captured Margot’s delicate lips with his.Margot moaned in torment. For a brief moment, she was jolted out of her stupor. She began to relax when she realized the person kissing her was Benjamin. Her dazed, lustful expression returned, and she found herself going with the flow.The temperature in the bathroom began to rise, and the water in the bathtub began to ripple as they moved. Water was splattered almost everywhere, leaving the floor wet.After a long while, the doorbell rang.Benjamin carried Margot out of the bathroom. He had strong arms, so Margot’s petite frame put no strain on him.He walked over to the door and spoke through the intercom, “Your services are no longer needed,” he rasp
Margot did not respond for a long time after Tamara sent that text. She had left Tamara hanging. How could her friend have done this to her? What a bitch.Tamara couldn’t help but send Margot a question mark out of curiosity. Only then did she receive a response.Margot: “It’s just… Once men get a taste of a woman, do they crave intimacy with her all the time?”Tamara was rendered speechless.She shouldn’t have been curious!However, the text’s implication was loud and clear.Tamara: “What brought this on? Have you finally bagged Benjamin?”Margot: “Yeah, but I kind of regret it now…”Tamara knew precisely why Margot felt the way she did because she had a similar experience.Tamara flushed, then sent Margot a text.Tamara: “Are you guys coming back, then?”Margot: “I’m not sure. I really do think that something’s off with Benjamin. I’ll have to spend some time observing him before coming to a conclusion.”Tamara: “Alright.”“What are you guys talking about?”At this momen
Tamara was shocked. Benjamin had two personalities?She was suddenly reminded of the things Margot used to say about Benjamin. She had mentioned that the man seemed different these days. At first, she assumed that Benjamin must have been going through something that caused him to change drastically.She had not expected him to have two personalities!“He suddenly left to get himself treated. Whenever his secondary personality sets in, his primary personality always has a hard time getting back to him. As such, he decided to deal with the secondary personality once and for all,” Sebastian said calmly.Benjamin had been plagued with this problem for 12 years. Throughout the years, his secondary personality had not stayed for long. Even if it had, it would stay a few more minutes at most.However, his secondary personality seemed to have overstayed his welcome this time. Benjamin was aware of the severity of this issue.He had pushed Margot last time because both personalities were
“Sebastian Lynch, when did you become this daring? How dare you force your mother to transfer all of her shares to you!”Sebastian shielded Tamara from Old Mr. Lynch. Only after he was certain that the old man wasn’t going to start throwing things around did he tell Tamara, “Wait for me upstairs.”Tamara nodded, then made her way to the elevator. However, she did not head straight to the third floor. Instead, she got out on the second floor and leaned against the railing to observe the proceedings downstairs.Old Mr. Lynch had a cane in hand and was glaring at Sebastian.Had Yareli really transferred all her shares to Sebastian?What on earth happened?Yareli was not to be trifled with. She had even planned to remove Sebastian from his position as president of the company. How could she have willingly transferred her shares to her son?Could it be that Sebastian had managed to come up with a counterplan?Tamara was deep in thought. At this moment, voices began to ring out downs
Tamara could hear their conversation clearly from upstairs.She couldn’t help but furrow her beautiful brows.It turned out that Morrison Corporation wanted to work with ST, but their only condition was for Sebastian to divorce her?The Morrison Corporation…Suddenly, she recalled the old man that had appeared at James’ ward that day.The old man seemed to know plenty about the happenings in Londsville. Could he have been the one to issue the request? She knew the henchmen who had kidnapped her kept referring to a man in the Morrison family with high regard, so could that old man somehow be related to him?Someone in the Morrison family intended to have her killed. Did the old man happen to instigate it?Tamara’s mind was filled with a number of theories. Her grip on the railing tightened.After hearing what Old Mr. Lynch said about her, Tamara couldn’t help but feel shocked. How on earth did he know about the fact that she would be able to regain her voice after giving birth?
Sebastian took out his phone to answer the call. Jerome’s panicked voice came through. “President Lynch, an accident occurred at the project site in Londsville West. The government has sent some people over to investigate the matter. We won’t be allowed to progress with the construction anymore!”“What happened?”Sebastian’s expression grew cold, and his brows furrowed.Jerome explained, “Someone fell from a tower crane while they were working. He died on impact right away. This issue had originally been dealt with. Money was paid, and the deceased’s family had agreed to keep it quiet, but the project was suddenly called to a halt today. Someone requested further investigation.”Jerome was the only person who knew about these things.After all, one person was all that was required to oversee and manage a construction project. As such, Sebastian had not needed to deal with such matters.Nobody expected this to become such a big deal. It was evident that someone had deliberately ad
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
