The man was aggressive. He moved to tear off Tamara’s clothes.Tamara took a moment to get over her surprise, so she had yet to react. Once she snapped back to her senses, she lifted her knee and aimed it at the man’s private part. While the man groaned out in agony, she flipped him over, then clasped the man’s throat with her hand.“Stop struggling. I’m a lot stronger than you give me credit for. If I snap your neck, you’ll die in an instant!”Tamara’s expression was filled with hostility as she warned coldly.The man quickly stopped struggling. He had trouble breathing, causing panic to flicker in his eyes. He didn’t expect the woman to react so quickly!He thought that she was just a regular woman!“Spill. Who sent you?” Tamara questioned in a cold tone.The man remained silent and even tightened his lips.Tamara sneered. “You’re not going to tell me?”She always carried scented leaves around for self-defense. She took the leaves out and placed them under the man’s nose.T
Tamara turned back subconsciously, but the tall, handsome man had already backed her into a corner of the elevator.“Sebastian Lynch, what do you think you’re doing?”Tamara’s clear eyes shone with displeasure. Her delicate face seemed to tense up as she reached out to push him away,However, the man’s body was too sturdy. He resembled an unmovable mountain, and it was impossible for her to push him away.Sebastian propped one hand against the elevator panel and inched his handsome, charming face closer to her. He stared at Tamara’s eyebrows with dark eyes, then asked in a hoarse voice, “Who was in the room with you?”Tamara glared at him angrily. “It’s none of your business!”Sebastian took a deep breath. “That’s completely false. I’m your husband.”Tamara smirked at him mockingly. “Mr. Custry, I’d like to remind you that you’re my ex-husband. We got divorced four years ago. Your dear mother was the one who delivered the divorce papers to me, after all.”As she spoke, all the
After Tamara relayed them some simple instructions, the bodyguards nodded, then made their way into the club.Sebastian managed to catch up to her after that. Tamara turned around and was about to leave when the two met each other’s gaze.“Tammy, I…”Sebastian meant to say something but was interrupted by the charming smile on Tamara’s face. “It was just a little kiss. Mr. Custry, you didn’t mind it, did you?”Hearing that, Sebastian froze. “Tammy, what are you talking about?”Tamara answered in a flat tone, “It was just a kiss. I hope you won’t take it to heart. Just think of it as a…spur of the moment thing. You’re a handsome man, after all, and I’m rather beautiful. It’s only natural for us to kiss out of impulse. I don’t think it’s a big deal.”With that, she walked past him and back into the club.Sebastian was rendered speechless.His handsome face immediately darkened.Tamara had said that they had shared a measly kiss and didn’t want to make it a big deal.Did this me
Tamara couldn’t help herself from staring at the photos. She felt her nose prickle painfully.“Let’s go. We should check up on what’s happening over there.” Tamara put her phone away and regained her calm composure.Margot could sense that something was off, but she did not push.Sebastian and Tamara had too many issues between them. They hadn’t even cleared up their misunderstandings.Furthermore, Tamara was still hurting inside.It would take more than half an hour for her to forgive and move past everything.Margot sighed helplessly in her heart. It was all up to fate now.…Joanne was awaiting good news. As such, the manager offered a room for her to relax in, which she accepted happily. When she thought about how humiliated Tamara was going to be soon, Joanne couldn’t help herself from smiling smugly.A sullied woman like her would never be worthy of Sebastian.Joanne walked into her room and drank wine on the sofa. There was a faint fragrance in the air.After drinki
Margot was taken aback for a moment. She turned toward Tamara and asked, “What happened?”Tamara did not try to hide what she had done. She recounted the humiliation she had purposely dealt Benjamin.Margot blinked.Kayla glared at the two women coldly. She wanted to see just how strong their friendship extended.How could one forgive their friend for getting their man beaten up, after all?A few seconds later, Kayla’s expression hardened.Margot looked at Tamara with excitement. “Wow, Tammy, you’re so awesome! How many men were in that room? I don’t think there were enough of them. Gosh, it would’ve been great if there were at least 30 of them!”Tamara’s eyes shone with amusement. “You want him to get beaten to death?”“Well, no.” Margot swept a devious gaze over Benjamin. “It’d be best if he got paralyzed from the waist down. That way, no other woman would think to throw themselves at him anymore.”Tamara was rendered silent.She eyed Benjamin, who was standing stock still.
Tamara and Margot got into the car.Tamara noticed the solemn expression on Margot’s face and hurriedly said, “Margot, don’t be like that. You know as well as I do that Kayla said all of that on purpose.”“Of course, I know that.” Margot continued, “I’m a petty person. I’m going to look into Kayla’s background and think of a plan to screw her over for good!”Tamara didn’t know how to respond.That sounded like a pretty good idea, after all.The car started, then they headed to the Moore manor.It was already late at night.There were security guards patrolling the compound inside. The maids in the villa were all resting.Tamara and Margot walked inside, changed into slippers, then hurried up the stairs.“Oh, finally back, are you?”At this moment, a casual voice rang out.Tamara and Margot were scared out of their wits. They hurriedly turned toward the source and found Joseph getting up from the sofa, smiling at them.“It’s late. Are you guys hungry?”Tamara glared at him
Tamara was rendered speechless.She could only hope for Joseph’s success.…The next afternoon.After waking up around noon, Tamara walked out of the bedroom and saw that the door to Margot’s room next door was wide open, yet her friend was nowhere in sight.Where was she?Tamara began to feel suspicious. At this moment, Cheryl walked out of her room. When she saw the curious look on Tamara’s face, she said, “Joseph took her out in the morning.”Hearing that, Tamara’s lips twitched.Who knew that Joseph would be so proactive?She went to the dining room to get something to eat. Even though it was a Saturday, Thomas was nowhere in sight.Tamara glanced at Cheryl. “Aunt Cheryl, where’s Thomas?”Cheryl contemplated for a moment. “Oh, Anthony took him out to play, but they’ve been out for quite a while. Let me go check up on them.”Tamara nodded, then continued to eat.However, she had a bad feeling in her gut. She felt her appetite leave her all of a sudden.She walked out o
The Morrison manor covered a very large area.Tamara parked her car at the villa’s entrance. Right as she got out of her car, someone had already run inside to inform Elijah of her arrival.Tamara reached out to press the doorbell, but the doors unexpectedly opened up.Her beautiful lips were pursed, and she seemed to come to a realization. Then, her expression darkened significantly.“Tammy…”An anxious voice rang out from behind.Tamara turned back and saw Jonathan get out of his car.“Tammy, how could you rush all the way here by yourself? Do you know how dangerous that is?” After getting Cheryl’s call, Jonathan rushed to the Morrison manor as soon as possible.He saw that Tamara was about to head into the villa all by herself once he arrived. He couldn’t help but feel frantic.“Uncle Jon, Thomas is in there. I’m worried about him,” Tamara said, her clear eyes growing red.Jonathan replied, “I am too, but you can’t possibly face that bastard all by yourself. I’ll come with
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
