“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
“Don’t ever think about leaving. You will stay with me forever,” muttered Sebastian. His voice was husky and pleasing to the ear.Tamara’s face turned bright red. She leaned into Sebastian’s embrace, relishing his warmth. It gave her a sense of security and made her feel as if she could get through anything with him by her side.…At the same time, Londsville Airport.A few people walked out. An old woman with a head of white hair was in the center. Her wrinkles were visible, but her eyes had an impatient glint.“Don’t be so impatient, mother. Didn’t Mr. Barlowe say the kid is doing fine? Since we’re at Londsville, we will meet her soon enough.” The person talking was Jonathan Moore. He was helping the old woman as he comforted her.“That’s right, mom. Seeing how impatient you are, I also feel a little on edge,” joked Jonathan’s wife, Cheryl Stone. She was also supporting the old woman by the arm, afraid she might fall.The old woman was none other than Alex Moore’s mother, Old
Benjamin was being treated for his split personality disorder. One of his personalities would soon vanish. Would the person Margot like be the one to disappear?If that were to happen, what would happen to Margot?Tamara was worried about this, but she didn’t dare voice her worries, fearing Margot would lash out and do something she’d regret.Benjamin was the only one who had a say over his body.Her phone vibrated. There was a new text. “It is going smoothly, but I still feel weird about this. By the way, how are you?”Tamara smiled. “I’m fine, but the three children are too lively. They keep kicking around. It hurts when they do so.”Margot replied, “What a lively bunch. But it’s good for you to have triplets. At least you will be killing three birds with one stone.”Tamara giggled. “You can do the same too.”Margot responded, “Then I’ll go and do it now.”Tamara replied, “...”Her message was left on sent. Tamara blinked. Was Margot seriously going at it right now?She wa
