Holy shit!How could there be such a huge contrast?All the higher-ups didn’t dare let out the slightest of squeaks. They sat at their seats and waited for their turn.Sebastian had an indifferent look on his face. However, he would occasionally turn around and smile adoringly at Tamara.Tamara sighed helplessly. Wouldn’t he feel tired from switching up his facial expressions this much in a single meeting?…Meanwhile, Sandy hung up the phone with a stern expression at the Custry manor in Clacton. She couldn’t hide the sparkling joy in her eyes. She went to her husband’s study room and entered after giving it a knock.“Hugo, the DNA test results came out. That man is indeed our son,” informed Sandy.Hugo looked up and said, “Then let’s go to Londsville to bring him back.”Sandy smiled. “My thoughts exactly. Although, there is one thing. Our son is married, and his wife is mute.”“What? He married a mute?” Hugo’s face fell. “How could my son marry a mute? I won’t allow this. G
Sandy entered the lobby. The front desk receptionist immediately greeted her with a smile. “Hello, miss. May I know who you are looking for?”Sandy huffed, “I’m here to meet your president. Where is he?”The receptionist smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, miss. You can’t meet Young Mr. Lynch without an appointment. Maybe you can leave us a number.”Sandy furrowed her brows, but she didn’t lose her temper and merely said lightly, “Call your president and tell him the Custry family from Clacton is here to meet him.”The receptionist was startled. The Custry family from Clacton?This elegant lady was from that family?“Yes, miss. Right away.” The receptionist nodded immediately.Was the Custry family here to make a deal with ST Corporation?It didn’t matter why they were here. The receptionist had to inform Young Mr. Lynch’s assistant, and he would then notify the president.The call connected, and Jerome answered, “Hello?”“Mr. Crowe, the Custry family from Clacton is here. The
Sebastian turned Tamara around to face him. His dark eyes observed her pretty face. “What’s wrong, Tammy?”Sebastian cooed to Tamara in a low, gentle voice. It was as if he was coaxing a child.Tamara was doing everything she could to keep the floodgates shut, but she couldn’t hold it in anymore. She bowed her head as tears streamed down her cheeks. She shook her head and signed with trembling hands. “It’s because of the spice. I’ll be fine in a second. Don’t worry about me.”Sebastian sighed and pulled her into his embrace. He comforted, “Alright. We’ll leave in a few.”Tamara closed her eyes and tried to compose herself. She knew it was wrong and probably raised Sebastian’s suspicion, but she couldn’t hold it in!Sadness and pain filled her entire core.After a while, Tamara’s tears had soaked through Sebastian’s shirt when she finally got a hold of herself.Sebastian let out a shaky breath. He knew how sad Tamara was.He tried his best to calm her down and secretly hoped the
Sebastian’s dark eyes landed on the person’s face before he looked into the distance. He noticed a car not far from them. He could see Sandy smiling softly at him as the car door was opened.Sebastian’s eyes narrowed when he saw Sandy, and his lips thinned into a fine line.Sebastian got down from the car and approached Sandy.When Sandy saw this, she immediately hopped off her car. She observed her son. He was tall, lean, and handsome to boot. He looked like an exact copy of Hugo in his younger days!Sandy was buzzing with excitement. She would never have guessed she had given birth to a son back then. If only she had known sooner.If she did, there wouldn’t be any competition over the Custry Corpoation’s inheritance. Their family would have it in the palm of their hands.Sandy felt remorse, but admiration crossed her eyes when she looked at Sebastian.It was still not too late for that.“What business do you have with me, Mrs. Custry?” When Sebastian stopped in front of Sandy
“If you knew you were the Custry family’s heir, why didn’t you come back to us? What’s so appealing about this dreadful place? ST Corporation can’t even measure up to the Custry Corporation’s branch office. You would have inherited the Custry Corporation if you had returned sooner. You would have inherited an enormous fortune. Why didn’t you come back to us?” asked Sandy.Sandy couldn’t get her head around it. The Custry family was ranked as Clacton’s second-best family. No one could ever compete with Sebastian if he returned with them. Nonetheless, Sebastian chose to remain in this dreadful location and was even hellbent on taking care of that small company. What was the reason for this?Sebastian snorted. A look of disdain crossed his eyes. “If I were to go back so suddenly, wouldn’t the entire Custry family be in an uproar?”Sandy was taken aback. “However, you are a member of the Custry family and have the opportunity to inherit the Custry Corporation. Do you know how happy I wa
When Tamara first arrived at the Lynch family, Ms. Thompson was the first person to treat her well. Ms. Thompson never once looked at Tamara any differently, not even after learning of Tamara’s muteness. Instead, she only ever felt pity for the poor girl.Tamara closed the door with teary eyes. She took in a deep breath and checked the time. It was still early. Tamara went to the closet.She had on a dress when she emerged. Tamara’s cream-colored dress highlighted her gentleness. She looked like a mature beauty when she put a coat over it.Tamara pulled out her phone and sent a text to Anthony. Soon, he came knocking on her door. “What are you planning to do, miss?” Anthony gave Tamara a tense look.He felt something was off with Tamara. This time, it wasn’t because of Sebastian. It seemed to be something even more serious than that.Tamara offered a small smile. “How long have you been by my side?”Anthony didn’t even have to think twice about it. “It has been ten years.”Tam
When Tamara disappeared around the corner, a car was rolling down the streets.Jonathan was driving down the road when he saw a familiar pregnant lady. When he wanted to take a closer look, the pregnant lady had left.Jonathan stopped his car.“What’s wrong?” Cheryl, who was in the backseat, asked in confusion. Old Mrs. Moore was sitting beside her.“Why did you stop the car? Hurry up and drive. I want to see my granddaughter soon.” Old Mrs. Moore was impatient.Jonathan furrowed his brows. “I thought I saw Tammy.”“What?” Cheryl was puzzled. She turned around to take a look at the back but saw nothing.Jonathan reversed the car and drove around the corner.When he left the area, he saw Tamara getting into a cab.“It’s Tammy!” exclaimed Jonathan as he pointed at the figure not far from them. “Where is she going?”Old Mrs. Moore demanded shakily, “Go. Catch up to her.”“Okay.” Jonathan started his car and pursued the cab, but a traffic jam and a few other cars got in the way.
Elijah gave Tamara’s pallid face a long look. His gaze subconsciously shifted downward, landing on her belly. Her belly was enormous, and it was clear that she was due to give birth at any moment.He snickered inwardly.He wanted to watch the Simmons family fall. He didn’t care about those unborn babies!He waved a bodyguard over, who had some matches in hand.Tamara glanced over at the bodyguard, then turned to look at Elijah. Fear suddenly struck her. She held a hand over her belly and looked at Elijah pleadingly. She typed on her phone frantically. “Can’t this wait until I’ve given birth? The children are innocent! They don’t know anything.”“I’ve always been one to nip problems in the bud before they grow into bigger problems. If you want to complain, Tamara, you can blame no one but yourself for being born as Jacob Simmons’ daughter,” Elijah said coldly, “He stole the love of my life, so how can I possibly let him off easy?”“Why then did you attempt to burn my mother to dea
