Her face tensed up, and her clear eyes shone with both helplessness and amusement.She honestly didn’t know what to say.As Tamara approached, the gates swung open automatically.Sebastian’s dark eyes were fixed on her delicate face. He asked in a deep voice, “Tammy, do you like it?”Tamara clenched her fists. “Mr. Custry, get those balloons off the property! They’re blocking out the sun!”Sebastian’s expression faltered. He looked up and stared at the balloons, which were indeed blocking out the sun. His well-trimmed brows furrowed, then he turned toward Jerome, who was behind him. “Get them down!”Jerome, who had been grinning from ear to ear, suddenly trembled when he noticed the president’s solemn expression.“Yes, sir. I’ll get someone to take them down right away.”Sebastian turned back to Tamara, and the solemn expression on his face immediately dissipated. His lips curled into a small smile instead. “Tammy, let me take you out to lunch.”“No thanks.”After Tamara was
The room was pitch black. Anthony was chained to the wall and was covered in blood. It was clear that he had been tortured.The door opened, then shut. Anthony opened his eyes and saw Jonathan walk in. He felt a little disappointed but managed to ask through gritted teeth, “Where is she?”Jonathan sneered. “You’re so stupid. Jocelyn died ages ago. You hadn’t even seen Jocelyn in the flesh. How could you trust Elijah so easily and betray Tammy because of his lies? Do you have no shame?”Anthony shut his eyes. “I’ve wronged Miss Moore…”Jonathan motioned with his hand for two bodyguards to come forward. They unchained Anthony from the wall. “Since you’ve betrayed Tammy, you deserve to die. However, you can’t die on Tammy’s turf. I’m going to send you off to a deserted island and leave you to fend for yourself!”With that, he spun on his heel and left.The bodyguards brought Anthony to a private jet, then flew him to the deserted island. There was no possibility of him reappearing i
Tamara raised her head and turned her gaze to an area near a window a short distance away. Sebastian was speaking to someone.However, his dark gaze was pinned on her. His handsome, charming face exuded coldness.Tamara pursed her lips.James was curious. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing.”Tamara hurriedly retracted her gaze, then smiled gently. “I remember you mentioned something about having your own workshop, right? Where is it located?”James answered, “It’s actually a TikTok studio. I recruited some enthusiasts passionate about filming TikToks and writing scripts. Everything’s been going good so far.”Hearing that, Tamara was taken aback.TikTok videos…They had worked together to make TikTok videos in the past. Tamara’s TikTok account had morphed from one that only posted epic transitions in sync with music rhythm to one that posted drama-like content.However, they had only been able to post drama-like videos for two short weeks before giving up on the project altogether. It w
Margot tried to catch Tamara’s eyes, hoping her friend could save her from this hell on earth.Tamara’s clear eyes turned toward Sebastian. “President Custry, is something the matter?”Sebastian returned her gaze. The icy hostility in his eyes instantly disappeared, and in its place was nothing but gentleness. “Tammy, I didn’t think I’d run into you here.”Margot’s lips twitched. The man’s attitude had completely changed!Tamara’s face remained uninterested. “Neither did I. Nonetheless, we have no plans to share a table with you. You came with a friend, didn’t you? If that’s the case, it won’t be convenient. It would be best if we ate at different tables.”Sebastian was rendered silent.Emotions welled up in his chest uncontrollably. However, Sebastian’s handsome face remained neutral. He replied calmly, “He left.”Tamara was taken aback by that. She looked behind him and saw that Jeremiah had indeed disappeared.Tamara didn’t know what to say.The man had vanished in an insta
“What a trainwreck.” Margot whispered to herself, unable to summon up her appetite to eat.Sebastian looked at James with amusement in his eyes. His handsome, charming face filled with mockery as he barked, “You want to date her? You don’t deserve her!”His eyes shone with disdain.There was no need to make any drastic comparisons.The fact that James initially approached Tamara with an ulterior motive disqualified him from dating her.James was taken aback. He said, “I won’t deny the horrible deed I’ve done in the past, but I’ll try my best to make up for everything eventually. Furthermore, now that I’ve ceased all contact with the Morrison family, I am not at all related to them anymore. From this day forth, no one will be able to pose a threat to me.”After that, he turned toward Tamara. “That’s why you don’t need to worry. I’m currently a free man.”Tamara was rendered speechless.James’ confession was too sudden.It made her want to run for the hills.However, running aw
South of the city, at a horse racing track. Margot led Tamara into the horse racing track, where she noticed a group of wealthy heirs conversing with the female companions in their arms.“Why, if it isn’t Margot!”Randy Wecker released the woman in his arms and walked over to Margot. His smile widened upon seeing the woman’s beautiful face. Then, he shifted his gaze over to Tamara and looked incredibly surprised. “Damn, I suppose a pretty woman like you would also have pretty friends. Who might you be?”Margot made the introduction. “This is my friend, Tamara Moore. Tammy, this is Randy Wecker.”Tamara greeted, “Nice to meet you.”Randy waved his hand. “Any friend of Margot’s is a friend of mine. Let’s move past the introductions, shall we? Miss Moore, do you know how to ride horses?”Tamara nodded. “A little.”Randy was surprised. “You’re free to pick one out. Why don’t you pick one you like?”Margot said, “I’ll come with you.”“Okay.”The two beautiful women went to pick
Tamara merely smiled. “No need. Say, why don’t you make a bet, President Custry?”“What bet? Do tell.” Sebastian focused all his attention on her.“Why don’t we race on horses? If you win, I’ll agree to let you pursue me, but if I win, you’re required to stay as far away from me as possible,” Tamara stated her terms. “So, what do you think?”Sebastian quirked a brow at her. “Are you sure?”She nodded. “Absolutely. It’s not like I can avoid you forever, can I? Why don’t we just get it over with once and for all?”Sebastian chuckled lowly, then nodded. “Alright, let’s race.”Tamara held onto her horse’s reins and watched Sebastian pick a horse for himself. They went to the starting line and got onto their horses.When everyone saw that Tamara and Sebastian were about to race, they gathered around to watch.“Go, Tammy!” Margot cheered on from the sidelines.“Go, President Custry!” Randy cheered as well.Everyone watched Sebastian with eager eyes. It was a rare opportunity, after
“It appears that you’re fine. Right, I’ll be off then.”Tamara turned around and sprinted away.Sebastian watched her receding figure with a growing grin on his face. He looked up at the blue sky and felt a well of emotions stir inside him.When Margot saw the blush on Tamara’s face, she asked, “Tammy, are you alright?”Tamara nodded. “I’m fine. I’m going to change.”Margot nodded. “Alright. God, that was a close call! Thank goodness for him! Otherwise, who knows what would’ve happened to you.”Upon hearing that, Tamara quickened her footsteps.After changing back into her clothes, Tamara saw that Margot was chatting with Randy.“Margot, I need to head home now,” she said to Margot.Randy spoke first. “Miss Moore, it’s still so early. Why do you need to get home so soon? There’s a hotel and restaurant here. Why don’t you eat something before leaving?”Tamara wanted to refuse.Margot walked over and asked, “You didn’t get to eat much just now. Why don’t we get something to ea
