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
Tamara’s mind was swirling with thoughts. She put down her phone and decided to ignore the situation altogether.Just then, the door to her room opened. Margot came in.“My dear Tammy, why do you look so troubled? Did something happen?” Margot asked worriedly upon seeing Tamara’s furrowed brows. She took a seat beside Tamara.Tamara sighed. She signed, “I got caught in a lot of sticky situations recently. I can’t seem to calm down.”Margot tilted her head. “Sticky situations? You are welcome to discuss them with me. I enjoy solving problems like this.”Tamara gave it a thought.She smiled helplessly. “This isn’t some ordinary trouble. It’s a little complicated. You won’t like them. In fact, I’m sure you’ll find them annoying.”Margot took a bite out of an apple. “You can solve anything as long as you get to the root of the problem. You don’t need to worry too much about this. Since the problem showed up, the truth will also come to light soon, and with the truth comes the soluti
When Sebastian saw Margot, his brows knitted tightly together. “Why are you here?”Margot stood up. “I’m here to visit Tammy. What else? Since you’re back, I’ll be taking my leave then. Don’t let me interrupt your time together.”Then, Margot gave Tamara a flying kiss before exiting the room.The air around Sebastian was cold. His frown deepened, and he walked over with an annoyed look on his handsome face. “Didn’t I tell you to have an early night?”Tamara yawned. “We were talking, and I forgot the time. All is well. I managed to be awake upon your return.”Sebastian clicked his tongue. “She’s not allowed to visit you anymore!”Tamara was taken aback. “What? Why?”“I won’t allow it,” said Sebastian coldly. He helped Tamara to finish her nightly routine.Tamara was brushing her teeth. She glanced at Sebastian beside her and held her toothbrush between her teeth. “Why are you just staring at me? Don’t you need to shower?”When Sebastian heard that, he smirked, “Are you hoping t
