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

    “Simon? What brings you here?” Joanne was surprised to see Simon.Simon took the seat across from Sebastian. He smirked lazily, “You’re here. Why can’t I?”Joanne clenched her teeth. Simon was good at playing the adoring older cousin-brother role with her. However, somewhere along the way, he became increasingly distant from her. He would even look at her with disgust at times.Joanne grew up spoiled. She distanced herself from Simon after seeing how he treated her.When she was old enough to start working at Custry Corporation, everything she did was shut down or brushed aside by Simon.That was when Joanne’s hatred for Simon grew.She saw Simon’s attempt to take control of the Custry Corporation as larceny.He was an outsider. How could he have the audacity to do that?Joanne recollected herself and said calmly, “You’re free to go anywhere you want, Simon. But I am currently in a business meeting with Young Mr. Lynch. Please don’t mess this up.”“Mess this up?” Simon sneered

    “There’s nothing special about James. His godfather, on the other hand, is quite a character. Haven’t you heard? His godfather is the Morrison family’s bastard son. He suddenly came back 30 years ago. Not to mention, he is quite skilled and was able to bring Morrison Corporation to a new height in just a decade. They even exceeded the Moore family and have been cracking down on them ever since.” Simon reported his findings.He added, “One more thing. A year ago, Elijah pulled some tricks in Londsville. He baited Jacob into a failed investment and was ultimately the reason behind the Simmons Corporation’s downfall.”Sebastian knitted his brows. He was right. Someone had orchestrated the Simmons family’s bankruptcy.Elijah had something against the Simmons family, and he wanted them dead.First, it was Jacob and his wife. Then, it was Quentin’s turn, and finally, he had set his eyes on Tamara.“Why?” Sebastian turned to Simon.Simon shook his head. “I don’t know. But there’s one th

    Joanne could see the icy look Tamara was giving her. She brushed it off and giggled, “It’s been a while, Young Mrs. Lynch!”It had indeed been a while. Tamara would have rained hell on Joanne if she hadn’t escaped.Tamara gave a small smile before giving Ms. Thompson a look. Ms. Thompson caught on and spoke up on Tamara’s behalf, “Indeed, Ms. Bishoy. You left so soon. It was as if you were escaping out of guilt.”Joanne’s smile froze when she heard that. She gave Tamara an annoyed look. “You are pregnant, Young Mrs. Lynch. It’s best not to dwell on the past. Your children might suffer with you.”Tamara stared at her coldly. Before she could sign her response, Yareli butted in, “Tamara, Ms. Bishoy is a guest. Is this how you should treat her?”Just then, a maid had brought in some drinks.Tamara redirected her cold gaze onto Yareli. Ms. Thompson translated, “What brings you here today, Mrs. Lynch?”Yareli said indifferently, “Anne heard you had been stuck at home. Seeing as you a

    Joanne continued, “The only way ST Corporation can get out of this is by finding new business partners. Once the new investment funds start rolling in, ST Corporation will be fine. Morrison Corporation wishes to cooperate with Young Mr. Lynch. However, one of their terms was for him to divorce you. Even an outsider like me can tell how awful of a term that was. On the other hand, if Young Mr. Lynch were to cooperate with me, he didn’t need to agree to any terms. In fact, it is the opposite. He can demand anything as long as his heart desires it. Young Mrs. Lynch, you should think about your husband. Do you want to see his company fall?”Yareli added, “Tamara, if ST Corporation were to go bankrupt, your precious title of ‘Young Mrs. Lynch’ would be no more. You will go from riches to rags. Do you want that?”Tamara observed the anxious duo. She couldn’t help but laugh at them. She took her time and typed, “If I didn’t know any better, I would think the ST Corporation is doomed from ho

    Count on it?What a joke!Tamara secretly sneered at the idea. However, her expression did not reflect her emotions. She coldly typed, “There’s no use in telling me this. I will never involve myself with Sebastian’s business. If you really wish to make a deal with him, you would have to speak directly to him.”Tamara analyzed the situation. She concluded Joanne must have already gone to Sebastian but had hit a brick wall. That was the only reason why she was here now.Joanne was relentless. “Young Mrs. Lynch, are you really that heartless as not to help ST Corporation?”Tamara was quick to reply. “Ms. Bishoy, please don’t put words in my mouth. Sebastian is the one who decides who he makes a deal with. What has that got anything to do with me?”She didn’t understand where this was going. Joanne failed to come to an agreement with Sebastian and came to her for help. But when this failed too, Joanne put the blame on her.What bullshit logic was this?Yareli grabbed Tamara’s arms.

    “I… I wasn’t threatening your wife. I was just…” Joanne’s face was as white as a sheet. Her whole body was aching from her fall. Sebastian was too cruel!Yareli stared angrily at Sebastian. “How could you do this to Anne? She is such a fragile girl. What if she got hurt?”Sebastian gave Yareli a stern look. “She asked for it!”Yareli was angry beyond words. She helped Joanne up and quickly checked up on her. “Are you alright, Anne?”Joanne shook her head. “I’m fine.”Then, she turned to Sebastian. “Young Mr. Lynch, I didn’t come to threaten your wife. I was just paying her a visit. Look! I even brought her some health supplements…”Joanne was racking her brains for an explanation. She couldn’t make a wrong impression on Sebastian, or her plans would go up in smoke.Sebastian glanced at the health supplements. “Ms. Thompson!”“Here, Young Mr. Lynch.” Ms. Thompson hurried over.“Throw this garbage out!” ordered Sebastian.Ms. Thompson nodded. She took all the supplements and le

    “You!” Joanne’s face darkened. “Are you causing me trouble on purpose so you don’t have to make a deal with me, Sebastian?”Sebastian snorted, “When have I ever said I will make a deal with you?”That was the last straw. Joanne stomped out without another word.“Wait for me, Anne!” Yareli immediately rushed after her.Silence fell over the living room.Tamara blinked. “To be able to make her yield, you sure have your ways.”After all, Joanne had a reputation for being a haughty lady. Who would have thought someone as powerful as her would submit to someone else’s will?A hint of disdain flashed across Sebastian’s eyes. His handsome face looked as indifferent as always. He placed a hand over Tamara’s stomach and said, “Coming back to the topic, Young Mrs. Lynch. Are you really not worried that ST Corporation might fall? If it did, you would have to live the life of a poor wife.”Tamara smiled, “That won’t happen. A woman as smart as me will surely be able to earn enough to suppo

    "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.

In the room, the styling team was already in position.

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.

    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
