“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
“Tammy, go to Clacton with the Moore family and start a new life,” Margot said with an aching heart. When she found out that Sebastian had left Londsville, she was shocked beyond belief.Why would Sebastian leave Londsville?Tammy had just given birth, so why would he do that?It was only after that she heard that Sebastian was actually a descendant of the Custry family. It turned out that the man had gone to Clacton for his inheritance. Furious, she had meant to storm over to Sebastian and get him to explain everything.However, she found that she couldn’t even locate the man.When she arrived at the ward, she first noticed Tamara’s red, swollen eyes. She knew her friend must have been crying her eyes out from sorrow.Margot grabbed Tamara’s hand in hers and looked at her with concern.Tamara shut her eyes, feeling hopeless. She did her best to calm herself down, but whenever she thought about how Sebastian didn’t want anything to do with her anymore, she couldn’t help herself
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
