Yareli began to panic. “You can’t just cast her out! She’s your daughter! She’s an integral part of the Custry family, is she not?”Sandy regarded her coldly. In contrast to Yareli’s hysteria, Sandy appeared very calm and collected.Yareli tightened her hold over the baby. “As long as you promise not to cast Joanne out and swear that you’ll get Sebastian to marry her, I’ll hand this baby to you right away!”Sandy was taken aback. The idea of Anne and Seb getting engaged was a good one.If that happened, Anne wouldn’t be cast out of the family, and they could get Seb to return to the Custry family. It was like killing two birds with one stone!“Fine. It’s a deal.”After a moment’s contemplation, Sandy agreed.Yareli said, “I don’t believe you. I’ve prepared a contract and everything. You have to get Sebastian to sign it, then get Anne’s signature. Only then will I trust that you won’t go back on your word.”Sandy’s brows began to furrow. “Yareli Baiss, let’s get things straight.
“Dad!”William watched as Old Mr. Lynch convulsed violently. He wanted to struggle out of the bodyguards’ holds, but they were too strong.“Please send my father to the hospital. He fell! Please, I’m begging you!” William looked at the bodyguards pleadingly.The bodyguards exchanged glances with each other, but none of them moved. They only heeded Sandy’s instructions.However, Sandy had already left.Old Mr. Lynch had fallen to the floor and wouldn’t stop convulsing. Intense pain filled his chest, preventing him from breathing. However, he couldn’t seem to feel the pain at all. All he could think about was that Sebastian hadn’t been a true Lynch all this time.William and Yareli had worked together to trick him for decades!He had taught his grandson diligently and loved him very much. He couldn’t believe that he wasn’t even a Lynch!Anger filled his heart. Old Mr. Lynch spat out a mouthful of blood, then closed his eyes. He stopped breathing moments later.“Dad!”William
Sebastian read the health report. Everything had been stated clearly.However, disbelief still flashed in his eyes.Tamara had lost her voice due to poisoning, after all. How could her muteness be passed down to her kids?It had to be false information.When Sandy noticed that Sebastian still wouldn’t believe her, she took the health report from him and placed it aside. “Seb, don’t forget what you promised me before.”Sebastian’s breathing stopped. His eyes turned red as he said, “I want to see Tammy…”He could get her to explain everything to him once he saw her. He could ask her why she had left.She would definitely explain everything clearly.Sebastian did not trust anyone else but her.Sandy continued, “Seb, you’ve already promised me you’ll divorce her, return to Clacton with me, and integrate with the Custry family. Those were the conditions I agreed to when you asked me to save Tamara. You can’t go back on your word. Otherwise, I’ll make sure to make her pay for everyt
Not only was Tamara shocked, but even Jonathan, Cheryl, and Old Mrs. Moore were equally surprised.“Tammy, your voice… Can you speak now?” Jonathan asked in a cautious tone, worried that he would say something to trigger Tamara’s sorrow.Tamara covered her mouth with her hands. She did not dare to attempt to speak. Her eyes gradually watered.“Don’t cry. Oh, my darling granddaughter. You’ve just given birth! Crying will damage your eyes,” Old Mrs. Moore consoled as she hurriedly wiped Tamara’s tears away.Her babies! She had given birth to her babies!Tamara searched the room for them before noticing the crib next to her. She leaned over with difficulty and saw a baby with its mouth wrapped around its fingers.Why was there only one?Tamara was taken aback. She glanced over at Jonathan in confusion.Jonathan felt a bit wrong-footed. After hesitating, he decided to explain, “You gave birth to triplets. One of them was stillborn, and the other...has gone missing.”Missing? What
“What?”Tamara stared at Jonathan’s furious expression and couldn’t help but find the whole situation ridiculous.Was Jonathan delusional?There was no way that Sebastian didn’t want her!Tamara did her best to explain slowly, “He wouldn’t leave… He…loves me…very much…”Jonathan couldn’t help but rage at the mention of Sebastian. “If he loves you, where the hell was he when something like this happened to you? Tammy, it’s clear he doesn’t love you as much as you think!”Tamara kept shaking her head. “You’re wrong. He…must have his reasons…for not coming…to me…”Jonathan was about to add something else when his wife, Cheryl, abruptly stopped him. “Tammy has just given birth and received some shocking news. It’s best if you keep your thoughts to yourself for the time being.”Old Mrs. Moore glared at Jonathan with displeasure. “Get out. Find the missing baby in the meantime. Don’t make trouble for Tammy here.”Jonathan’s expression softened. “Alright.”Once Tammy recovered, he w
A divorce agreement?Tamara’s eyes widened in disbelief as she regarded Sandy.Who was this lady’s son?It couldn’t be Sebastian, could it? Absolutely not!“Sandy, if you’re here to visit my granddaughter, I welcome you with open arms. But if you’re here to make trouble, kindly fuck off!” When Old Mrs. Moore saw how pale Tamara had gotten, her usual warm demeanor disappeared as she barked angrily.“Don’t get too worked up, Mom.” Cheryl sat Old Mrs. Moore down with concern.Then, she glanced over at Sandy. “Who’s your son?”“Why, it’s Sebastian Lynch. Well, I suppose he’ll be known as Sebastian Custry from now on,” Sandy said with a smile. She did not care that she had angered Old Mrs. Moore.She took out the divorce agreement and handed it to Tamara. “Miss Simmons, please have a look through the terms. If everything looks good, please sign it.”Her gaze fell onto the crib nearby. When she saw the sleeping baby, she cocked a brow and leaned over, planning to hold it.“Get the
When Sandy saw the look of disbelief on Tamara’s face, she smiled smugly. “Tamara, you’ve already seen it for yourself. It’s clear that Seb doesn’t want anything to do with you. So, why don’t you save yourself the embarrassment and stop pestering a man that doesn’t even love you back?”As she spoke, her gaze wandered to rest on Cheryl, who had grown pale.Cheryl’s hands were clenched into fists at her sides. She did not dare make a sound when she thought about how horrible Tamara must be feeling at that moment.Tamara clutched the divorce papers with a slight tremble in her hands. Her eyes pricked painfully, but no tears were visible.She felt devastated. Her heart ached.She kept staring at Sebastian’s signature and repeated to herself that everything must have been a lie. She tried to convince herself that Sebastian hadn’t signed the papers.He would never abandon her like this.He had promised to spend the rest of his life with her. Why would he go back on his word?“That li
Tamara fell asleep, exhausted by all the crying.Cheryl helped Old Mrs. Moore into a sofa. “Mom, why don’t you get some rest back in the hotel? I’m sure everything will be fine once Tammy calms down,” she said quietly.Old Mrs. Moore shook her head. “I’m not leaving. I want to accompany Tammy here. She’s so upset. She needs her family’s support more than anything.”Cheryl knew it was hopeless to try arguing with her, so she remained silent afterward.At this moment, Jonathan walked in.When he noticed Tamara’s eyes were red and puffy as she slept, he frowned and walked over, softly asking, “What happened to Tammy?”Cheryl recounted everything that had happened to him. After she was finished, Jonathan fumed with rage. “Sandy Checkers is such a conniving bitch! She really thinks that her arrogance is warranted just because she’s a Custry, huh? I’m going to make sure she pays for this!”“Come back here!” Cheryl looked at him, displeased. “You know as well as I do that she’s a Custr
