“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
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
