Mr. Miller observed the cold look on Tamara’s beautiful face. He narrowed his eyes slightly before nodding with a smile. “I’ll bring this up to my employer. Thank you for taking care of Miss Melly.”Then, he turned to Melanie. “Miss Melly, your grandfather is waiting for you outside.”Melanie walked over to Mr. Miller. She gave one last look at Tamara. “Pretty lady, remember me, alright?Tamara nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.Mr. Miller left the police station with Melanie, and Tamara soon lost sight of them. However, Tamara’s heart suddenly started aching. She had to follow them.Tamara wanted to know who Melanie’s family was. She didn’t know why Melanie’s words sounded strange to her.When Tamara exited the station, she saw a luxurious car parked nearby.Mr. Miller opened the car door, and Melanie climbed into the backseat of the car.All of a sudden, Tamara saw who was sitting inside the car.He had a mob of white hair and a wrinkled face. The person looked as indiffe
Tamara’s eyes had puffed up from how hard she was crying. After hearing Margot’s words, she was filled with a new sense of hope.“Clacton. I want to go back to Clacton now.” Tamara made up her mind. She was going to take Melanie back from the Morrison family!Margot nodded along. “Okay, I’ll go with you.”They left the police station. Both Caleb and Thomas noticed how low-spirited their mother was and made the decision to silently trail after her.Back at the hotel, Simon appeared in front of the elevator, grinning from ear to ear. “Little Mute, Caleb has to return to the Custry family.”Tamara narrowed her eyes and finally understood. Yareli must have stolen Caleb and given him to the Custry family.Anyone could easily guess what went down. Yareli had switched her daughter with the Custry family’s son.Tamara realized she hadn’t caught wind of any news about Joanne being chased out by the Custry family after all these years. Yareli probably used Caleb to strike a deal with the
Simon observed Tamara and noticed she was ignoring him. He quirked an eyebrow and leaned closer to Sebastian. Simon whispered, "Why do I have a feeling that you might mess this up if you continue with your disguise?"Sebastian growled, "Shut up!"Simon chuckled and redirected his focus to Tamara.Soon, they went through a security check and boarded the plane.They were all in business class. Margot sat with Thomas while Tamara went to find her designated seat. She looked at her ticket and realized she had a window seat. Tamara sat down once she found it.After she sat down, the other seat was taken almost instantly. Tamara looked over unconsciously and saw that it was Sebastian.Tamara's clear eyes twinkled as she giggled, "Mr. Custry. Is this…fate?"Sebastian paused. He glanced at Tamara before retracting his gaze.Tamara adjusted her seat and said nonchalantly, "I didn't know there was a mute in the Custry family. Why aren't you talking to me, Mr. Custry?"Sebastian pursed h
Joseph stared at Tamara in adoration. "Nothing is more important than my baby sister. I don't trust anyone else to fetch you."Tamara's smile was as bright as the sun. "You're the best, Joseph."Joseph huffed proudly. "You know it."His gaze landed on Margot, and his eyes lit up. "Who's this, Tammy?""This is my friend, Margot," introduced Tamara. She turned to Margot. "And this is my brother, Joseph. I have three other brothers, Jason, Jayden, and Jordan. You’ll meet them once you move in with me." Margot gave Tamara an envious look. "You have four brothers wrapped around your fingers. You're so blessed."Joseph butted in, "You’re Tammy's friend, so you’re my sister as well. I’ll spoil you like one too."The corners of Margot's mouth twitched. That seemed like an odd thing to say."Let's go, Joseph. I have some news for Grandma and Uncle Jon." Tamara noticed Joseph was about to continue and hurriedly cut him off."Alright." Joseph recollected himself and drove off. He would
"No." Tamara gave Old Mrs. Moore a firm look. "You can't go, Grandma. I'll go. This is between me and Elijah. We have to solve this sooner or later. I still don't understand why he stole my daughter."Old Mrs. Moore frowned. "I can't let that happen…"Tamara held Old Mrs. Moore's arm. "Grandma, I didn’t call an end to this four years ago. It's been so long since. Elijah wouldn't want to make an enemy out of the Moore family. He won’t pull any tricks on me. But I’m still confused about why he came after me again and again. I have to get to the bottom of this to get peace of mind."Old Mrs. Moore saw how stubborn her granddaughter was and sighed. "Fine. But Joseph will go with you. I won’t be at ease if you were to go alone.""That's right, Tammy. I'll tag along," said Joseph.Tamara was relieved that Old Mrs. Moore had given up her initial thought. Tamara would agree to any other request her grandmother had on this.Tamara relaxed a little before she suddenly piped up, "Also, I fo
The crowd immediately saw an exact copy of Thomas appear on the screen.Jonathan exchanged a shocked look with his wife before handing the phone over to Old Mrs. Moore.Old Mrs. Moore was taken aback. “This is…”“This is Caleb, Grandma,” explained Tamara.When Caleb heard his mother’s voice, his eyes lit up. He propped his phone up and took a few steps back before he bowed toward the camera.“Oh my. What is this child doing? He looks exactly like Thomas.” Old Mrs. Moore observed Caleb’s actions with amusement.Tamara pointed at Old Mrs. Moore and said, “Caleb, this is Grandma Moore.”“And this is Uncle Jon, Aunt Cheryl, and Uncle Joseph.” Tamara listed off the adults to Caleb. Caleb nodded at the introduction seriously, and the crowd laughed heartily at his actions.“Caleb. What a nice name. Where are you now?” complimented Jonathan. He felt pity for the little boy.Caleb came closer to the camera and took out a whiteboard. “I’m with the Custry family, Uncle Jon.”Jonathan wi
“Very well.” Joseph nodded.Tamara dragged Margot upstairs. “You’ll be staying in the room next to mine.”Tamara pushed open the room door.Margot nodded. “Okay. I’ll tag along with you later.”Tamara hesitated, but when she thought about Margot’s martial prowess, she agreed, “Okay.”After Tamara changed her clothes, she came out and saw Margot and Joseph in the living room. Old Mrs. Moore and Jonathan seemed to be talking with them.“We’ll be on our way, Grandma,” informed Tamara.“Be careful,” reminded Old Mrs. Moore.Tamara nodded. “Don’t worry, Grandma.”The trio left the manor. Once they got into the car, they drove to the Morrison family.The trip from their place to the Morrisons’ took about an hour. Once they arrived, they saw the grandeur decor of the Morrison manor. Tamara’s face turned cold.She walked over and rang the doorbell.“Who are you looking for?” came a maid’s voice.“I’m here to look for Elijah. Tell him Tamara Moore is here!” demanded Tamara coldly.
Elijah looked at them with disdain. “Do you think you can go toe to toe with me?”Joseph’s face fell.Tamara piped up, “You want to kill me, don’t you?”Elijah didn’t hide his killing intent and glared at Tamara cruelly. His gaze was enough to send shivers down her spine.Elijah stood up and stalked closer to Tamara, muttering coldly, “You look too much like your mother. I feel pissed just by looking at you.”Tamara pursed her lips. “I never understood your hatred for my mother. What did my mom do to you?”Elijah’s face darkened. “It doesn’t matter what she did. She deserves to die, and you too, Tamara. It’s either you or your daughter. Make your choice.”Then, he turned and entered a room.Tamara shut her eyes and spun around to leave the manor. Back in the car, Tamara’s face was as pale as paper.“Why is that old bastard so evil? If you don’t make your choice, will he just go for Melly instead?” Margot furrowed her eyebrows. She really couldn’t wrap her mind around how deep
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
