“Call Anthony back and tell him that I’ll bring Jocelyn to him. Set up a time and place.”Jonathan was stunned. “Tammy, are you sure?”Tamara’s eyelashes fluttered. “Just do as I say.”With that, she left the Morrison manor.Elijah’s frail body swayed unsteadily, and his face was filled with guilt. Even so, he managed to get his phone out and give Anthony a call. He did everything Tamara asked him to.They set the meeting up in a suburban villa that was owned by the Morrison family.Tamara and Jonathan got into one of the Morrison family’s cars along with the Moore family’s bodyguards.They made their way to the suburban villa.When they arrived, Anthony’s car was already parked at the villa’s entrance.Elijah walked inside first.Jonathan wanted to follow him but was stopped by Tamara. “Uncle Jon, hold on a minute.”Tamara fixed her clear eyes on Anthony, who was getting out of his car. When the car door opened, she managed to catch a glimpse of Thomas in the backseat. Th
Anthony struggled desperately, which caught the several bodyguards off guard. As they didn’t manage to stop him in time, he freed himself.Anthony rushed up to Elijah and grabbed him by the neck. He glared at the man. “Shut the fuck up!”Elijah had not expected this. He started to cough violently, and very quickly, he found it difficult to breathe.Meanwhile, the bodyguards finally snapped back to their senses and rushed to pull Anthony away.Anthony roared and glared angrily at Elijah. “You’d better keep your mouth shut!”His behavior was much too odd, which surprised Tamara. When she saw how insane Anthony looked and how he was on the verge of killing Elijah, it seemed that whatever she was oblivious to was Anthony’s deep, dark secret.“What were you going to say?”Tamara didn’t know why, but she suddenly had a bad feeling about what was to come. She fixed her eyes on Elijah.Elijah’s neck was nearly snapped by Anthony. It took him a long while to recover from the assault. He
“I’m sorry…”Tamara could no longer control her emotions. She kept hitting Anthony as she yelled, “Anthony Night, you’re fucking despicable! You were going to stop him from telling me the truth! You were never going to come clean with me about what you did, were you? Were you planning to hide the truth from me forever? Did you honestly think that hiding the truth from me would make it so that what you did years ago never happened? It’s been four long years, Anthony. I’ve carried the guilt of losing my baby for four whole years. Sometimes, I even wished that the one who died on the operating table was me! I can’t believe you were planning to hide the truth from me forever. How could you do this? How can you be like this?”“Tammy, don’t get too worked up! You need to mind your health.” Jonathan rushed over.Tamara’s emotions were going haywire. She could feel herself losing it.Jonathan ushered her back into the car. Tamara couldn’t stop mumbling about being betrayed. It was clear th
Following that, Caleb was lifted by his collar. A tall handsome man walked over to take Caleb’s seat.Tamara’s smile froze when she saw Sebastian, who appeared out of the blue. Her eyes shone with disdain. “What are you doing?”Sebastian’s eyes, dark as night, landed on her face and seemed to warm up. He said gently, “He’ll have to get his own girlfriend in the future. You belong to me and only me.”Tamara sneered. “In your dreams.”The kids were still around, so she didn’t want to say anything too harsh.Sebastian’s thin lips curled into a charming smile. “We already have three children together. Why would I still need to dream?”Tamara’s expression darkened. She shifted her gaze away from him, resolutely avoiding him.“Are you my daddy?”At this moment, a soft, timid voice rang out.Sebastian glanced at Melanie and softened up. “That’s right, Melly. I’m your daddy.”Then, he got up and walked up to Melanie to lift her into his arms.Melanie’s eyes were wide as she regarded
“Oh? What are your symptoms? Are you experiencing shortness of breath? Are you feeling flustered?”Sebastian stared at Tamara’s delicate face that shone with amusement and nodded. “That’s right. I might be ill.”Tamara pulled her hand back. “What a coincidence. I know a really good doctor that specializes in the illness you seem to have contracted, Mr. Custry. It won’t be difficult to treat. A slice with a knife would do the trick.”Sebastian was rendered speechless.He didn’t want to think about where the knife was going to be aimed.Tamara’s beautiful lips curled into a meaningful smile. “So, do you want to get treated, Mr. Custry?”“No need for that.”Sebastian cleared his throat, then looked at Tamara with some resentment in his eyes. “Would you really want that for me?”Tamara nodded. “Why not? It’s not like I’m going to be the one who’s going to be cut. There’s no reason why I wouldn’t want that for you.”Sebastian’s expression froze. “Well, I can’t get treated for this
Tamara glared at Sebastian. “If you let me down, you won’t have to risk dropping me now, will you?”Sebastian’s thin lips curled into a smile. “We’re almost out. Tammy, just let me carry you.”Tamara’s expression froze. Her eyes twinkled, and she shifted her gaze.Upon leaving the hospital, the Moore family’s van could be seen parked at the main entrance. The van doors were wide open, and Joseph was waiting by the vehicle. Thomas, Caleb, and Melanie were in the van as well.Upon seeing her children, Tamara flushed red. She whispered in a panicked voice, “Let me down right now. The kids will see us!”Sebastian cocked an eyebrow at her. “What’s so wrong with me carrying my wife?”“Who the hell’s your wife? We got divorced ages ago!” Tamara’s expression grew cold.She struggled violently. Worried that he might end up dropping her, he conceded and finally put her down.Without turning back, Tamara got into the car. She instructed Joseph in a cold tone, “Joseph, shut the door!”Jos
Old Mrs. Moore was taken aback. “What is it?”Tamara got up and glanced at Caleb. “Darling, call out to your Grandma Moore.”Old Mrs. Moore eyed Caleb curiously. The little boy who had identical features to Thomas looked panicked, but after sharing a look with Tamara, he seemed to calm down.“Grandma Moore…”His voice was soft and tinted with hoarseness as he spoke.Old Mrs. Moore was surprised. “What?”She glanced at Tamara and saw that her granddaughter was smiling. “Caleb was poisoned. I managed to cure him, so that’s why he can speak now.”Old Mrs. Moore was ecstatic. “That’s great news! Oh, my little darling, come sit on my lap! Can you say my name again?”Caleb did as he was told obediently. After calling out “Grandma Moore” a few more times, Old Mrs. Moore grinned widely.Jonathan and Cheryl rushed over as well.“Caleb, say my name. I’m Uncle Jon.”Cheryl interjected. “Me first. I’m Aunt Cheryl.”Jonathan frowned. “No! Me first! Say Uncle Jon!”Cheryl snorted, then
A wave of heat spread throughout his body all of a sudden. Sebastian swallowed sensually and shut his eyes, then downed his drink in one gulp.He took out his phone to make a call. His deep voice sounded raspy as he said coldly, “Come out and have a drink with me.”Joker’s Clubhouse.Jeremiah was wearing a white shirt with his collar wide open. His fringe hung over his forehead, and his handsome features made him look charming. When he smirked, it made him look incredibly alluring.Sebastian walked into the private room and saw that Jeremiah had started drinking already.“Sebastian, why are you still up this late?” Jeremiah asked curiously. “I thought you were busy pursuing Tamara?”Sebastian grabbed a bottle of wine and twisted the cap open. Then, he swallowed a few mouthfuls with dark eyes.Jeremiah cocked an eyebrow. “Haven’t you made any progress?”Sebastian’s grip on the bottle tightened. A short moment later, he turned toward Jeremiah. “How do you usually pick up women?”
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
