Tamara replied, “I’m on my way to ST Corporation. Come find me after you have settled down.”Margot chirped, “Okay!”Tamara kept her phone and went to the president’s private lift with a lunch box in hand.There had been a lot happening at ST Corporations lately. Sebastian had a lot of sleepless nights as a result of this. Tamara didn’t want to spend the entire day at home. She was worried, but there was nothing she could do, so she decided to provide Sebastian with some company.The lift went up halfway when it suddenly stopped.Tamara was surprised by this. This was the president’s private lift. Without Sebastian’s permission, no one was allowed to use it.The lift stopped on the 38th floor. There were still at least ten floors up before she reached the president’s office. Which daredevil was brave enough to use this lift?The lift door slowly opened, and a woman rushed in. Her attire was a mess.When the woman saw Tamara, she paused before begging, “Please don’t chase me out
Jonathan exited the lift and saw a pregnant lady. Another woman was grabbing the pregnant lady by the hand while a man tried to drag the woman out.However, if the man were to pull any harder, the pregnant lady would fall.Jonathan’s gaze landed on the pregnant lady’s face. His gaze sharpened. They looked so alike!The pregnant lady was an exact copy of his sister, Alex Moore!By now, the man had reached his limit. He pulled even harder. “Bitch! Get out now!”The woman held onto Tamara relentlessly. When the man pulled her, the woman wobbled and unconsciously tightened her hold on Tamara.Tamara’s face darkened. Just when she was about to swing Lily’s hand away, a middle-aged man rushed in and separated Lily from her.“What are you doing? Can’t you see she’s pregnant? If you’re being bullied, call the cops! Why are you holding on to a pregnant lady?” Jonathan took one look at Tamara and knew she was his niece.Although he was shut out by her before, he couldn’t just sit by and
Jonathan gave Sebastian a dissatisfied look. “What do you take my niece for? Why do I need to inform you if I wish to meet her?”“I don’t mean anything by that, Mr. Moore,” sighed Sebastian.Sebastian had always been cold toward others. Tamara was an exception, and she was the only one who could witness his gentle side. Of course, Old Mr. Lynch was the only other exception. Sebastian respected his grandpa a lot.Aside from those two, he never had much patience for others.Jonathan was the first to break his rule, but he was far from the last.Since Jonathan was here, Old Mrs. Moore must be here too.They were Tamara’s relatives. Sebastian had to show some respect to them.Jonathan did not probe any further. He frowned and changed the topic. “I heard ST Corporation has been going through a lot recently. I did some investigation and noticed something peculiar.”“And what’s that?” Sebastian turned to Jonathan.“Everything that happened to ST Corporation recently seemed similar to
“Please help me, Young Mrs. Lynch. You saw it too! That man is my husband. He was always mistreating me at work, and even at home, he would strike me! Please help me! I have a one-year-old son! He has leukemia and needs help! I can’t afford to lose this job!” Lily sobbed uncontrollably. She appeared to be at her wits’ end.Tamara moved out of the way unconsciously. Sebastian also flew over to shield her.“Jerome Crowe!” yelled Sebastian. His eyes were glaring daggers at Lily.Jerome immediately pulled Lily by the hand. “What is wrong with you? If you are facing abuse back home, you should call the cops. The cops would know what to do. If you feel wronged, divorce him! Why are you causing trouble for Young Mrs. Lynch? What was she supposed to do?”Jerome didn’t understand Lily’s actions. He forcefully dragged her out.Lily screamed, “Young Mrs. Lynch, please! Please help! We are both women! We understand the difficulties that women face! You are the only one who can help me!”Tama
Tamara paused and hit Sebastian’s chest with her hand. “How would I know who he is?”Sebastian knew a lot of people, while Tamara was only acquainted with a handful of people.Sebastian took her hand. “Don’t. I feel hurt if you’re hurt.”Tamara rolled her eyes.She couldn’t hide her happiness, and her flushed face reflected it.Once they entered the lift, Tamara didn’t continue with her questions.Her clear eyes shone with curiosity. Who was this man? Why did he look familiar?Tamara sent Margot a text when they came out of the lift and got in the car, Tamara sent Margot a text. “Let’s meet up at night. I’m going out for lunch.”Margot immediately responded, “Okay.”Tamara put away her phone and immediately felt someone staring at her. Tamara turned around unconsciously and met Jonathan’s gaze.Jonathan smiled. “Young Mrs. Lynch reminds me of someone.”Tamara was taken aback. She typed, “What a coincidence. Is the person here in Londsville too?”Jonathan nodded before he sh
After lunch, they left the restaurant, and Jonathan drove off in his car.Tamara turned to face Sebastian after watching the car drive away. “Stop with the riddles. Who was that person?”Sebastian helped her get in the car. “You will know soon enough. Just think of it as a surprise.”Tamara pouted and felt a little annoyed at this.Just who was he? Why couldn’t she know now?Her face fell, and she stared out the car window.Sebastian observed her pout and took her hand. “What’s wrong? Are you mad at me?”Tamara took her hand back and ignored him.Sebastian chuckled in amusement. “He’s no one important. I believe the two of you will meet soon. You will find out who he is then.”Tamara tilted her head. They would meet again?Why?Tamara suddenly had a thought. His last name was Moore as well. Could he be someone from her mother’s side?How could this be?If he was related to her mother, why didn’t he look for her all those years ago?Tamara gave up her misgiving. She had no
“What’s wrong?” Cheryl saw the unusual look on her husband’s face and asked worriedly as soon as he hung up.Old Mrs. Moore also looked at him. “Did something happen?”Jonathan offered a small smile. “It’s nothing. Just some work-related matters at the company. I’m sure the two of you are aware of the company’s performance over the last few years.”Cheryl sensed that her husband was lying. He must not have wanted to worry Old Mrs. Moore, which was why he said that. Cheryl chose not to expose his lies.Jonathan added, “It’s getting late, mother. Let’s head back first. We’ll visit Alex another day.”Old Mrs. Moore traced the photo of her daughter longingly. She nodded, “Okay.”Jonathan sent his mother back to the hotel. Once Cheryl brought Old Mrs. Moore back to her room, she turned to Jonathan. “What happened?”Jonathan gave her a grim look. “Elijah is in Londsvile too.”“What?” Cheryl was shocked. Elijah’s name was like a curse.The Morrison and Moore families were still on go
Tamara got up to take her phone. When she reached out her hand, the call ended. The call was from an unknown number.Tamara furrowed her brows. But she didn’t pay much attention to it. Calls from a stranger were a common enough occurrence for her. It was normal.She went back to her chair and enjoyed the scenery. Suddenly, her phone buzzed.Tamara picked up her phone and saw that it was a friend request.The sender had a blank profile picture and a full stop as its username. Aside from knowing the sender was a male, there was no other information about him.Tamara ignored the friend request and went to text Margot instead. “What are you doing?”Margot was quick to reply, “I’m having dinner. How are you doing? Can you go out now?”Tamara sighed. “Not yet. If you miss me, come to me. I feel tired just from taking a few steps.”Margot replied, “Okay. I’ll head over now. Wait for me.”Tamara typed. “Okay.”Tamara exited the chat. She received another friend request. It was from t
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
