Tamara’s eyes widened. “What’s wrong?”“I feel ill.” Sebastian’s deep voice rang out. “I don’t know why, but every part of me hurts.”Tamara was instantly wide awake. She rushed up, forgetting to put on her shoes. “Hang in there, Sebastian. I’m on my way to you right now. Can you please open the door for me?”“Yes…” Sebastian said with difficulty. When Tamara heard his voice, it sounded as if the man was on the verge of dying.She started getting anxious and rushed next door.“Sebastian, I’m outside. Open the door. Let me take a look at you.” Tamara tightened the grip on her phone as beads of sweat formed on her forehead.“Okay.”Sebastian hung up the call after that.A moment later, the door was pulled open. Tamara hurried inside and saw how pale Sebastian had gotten. She walked him to the sofa. “How are you feeling right now?”Sebastian’s brows furrowed tightly. “Not good.”Tamara grabbed his arm and took his pulse. She found that his heart was beating erratically, and he s
“Hello?”It was a call from Margot. Tamara picked up the phone call without any hesitation.“Tammy, I’m heading back to Londsville.”Through the phone, Margot’s voice was tinged with exhaustion. It sounded as if she had been through a lot.Tamara was taken aback and inquired, “Why so abrupt? Didn’t you swear you’d expand 1999’s business all the way to Clacton?”Margot smiled. “What do you know? Benjamin and Kayla are getting married soon. Why should I even be in Clacton anymore? To make a fool out of myself?”Tamara’s brows furrowed. “They’re getting married? Really?”When they ran into Benjamin and Kayla at Joker’s Clubhouse that day, even though they had been intimate with each other, it was clear that Kayla had been the one to initiate everything.Tamara had even purposefully humiliated him in public, but the man did not appear to react at all.Tamara deduced that Benjamin must have been willing to accept it as punishment.However, that was not the case now.Benjamin and
Sebastian noticed Tamara’s exasperation and chuckled lowly, “What’s wrong?”Tamara pressed her lips together. “I don’t think the information you just provided me with was all that insightful. I could have just as easily asked one of Benjamin’s friends. I’m sure I’d get the same answers.”Sebastian smiled charmingly. “He’s not very interesting. If you’re looking for drama, I don’t think he’s the right person to focus on.”Sebastian and Benjamin met in high school. At the time, Sebastian had been a lone wolf, yet Benjamin would always be around to pester him.After that, they even went to the same college. Their friendship progressed further after that. Unless it was something directly related to him, Sebastian never paid Benjamin’s affairs any mind.He only knew about Benjamin and Kayla being together because Benjamin talked his ear off about it multiple times.Tamara sighed helplessly. “Benjamin’s going to marry Kayla soon. Why do you suppose so many scumbags exist in this world?
Everyone turned to look at Jonathan.Jonathan glared coldly at Sebastian. “Do you think our family needs charity from you?”Cheryl cocked a brow but remained quiet otherwise. She even took a seat next to her husband.Old Mrs. Moore was still sporting a wide grin. She knew what her son was doing. It was clear that Jonathan wanted to stir up some trouble for Sebastian.Jason was reading a script. When he heard Jonathan speak, he looked up at his father, then exchanged an exasperated glance with Jayden.Jordan wore a hostile expression and remained silent.Joseph did not even seem bothered by what was happening. All he could think about was Margot. Why on earth did she leave?The living room instantly fell tense.Tamara unconsciously clutched Sebastian’s clothes. She thought about ways to deal with her uncle.Sebastian looked over and shot her a steady, secure look.Then, he turned toward Jonathan. “I just meant to express my sincerity with these gifts. I didn’t mean to offend a
Tamara was rendered speechless.Sebastian and Jordan were quick to return. Their clothes looked slightly wrinkled but did not look overtly messed up.After getting inside, Jordan silently went into his room.Jason snorted a laugh, “He must have lost again.”Jayden smiled wordlessly.Joseph suddenly got up. “I want to take a trip to Londsville.”Cheryl frowned. “What are you going to do there?”Joseph spun on his heel and rushed up the stairs to pack a bag. “Mom, I’m going to get you a new daughter-in-law!”Cheryl rolled her eyes but remained silent.Tamara was going to warn him against it. She knew what Joseph planned on doing once he reached Londsville, and it would be of no use.Joseph held onto the railing and turned toward Tamara. “Tammy, I’ll be sure to bring your best friend back here!”Tamara didn’t know how to respond.Clearly, he knew what she was about to say, so he was trying to beat her to everything.Tamara was exasperated, but after he said that, she found th
“Will you miss me?”Tamara’s fair face tinged red. “We haven’t even been away from each other. What’s there to miss?”With that, she pushed Sebastian away.Sebastian whispered, “I’ll miss you, especially at night.”Tamara was rendered speechless.The man was such a scoundrel!She turned away and walked back inside the villa. She didn’t spare a second look at him.A deep chuckle could be heard from behind her. Tamara’s footsteps quickened.…Sebastian arrived at the hotel to find a large group of people decorating the hotel’s entrance.When the hotel manager spotted him, he shot him a charming smile. “President Custry, Mr. Inkling’s waiting for you inside. Please come in.”Sebastian nodded coldly, and his body exuded an air of hostility.The banquet hall on the hotel’s third floor—where Benjamin’s wedding would be taking place.Upon Sebastian’s arrival, he spotted Kayla leaning heavily against Benjamin, and she seemed to be whispering sweet nothings into his ear.“Mr. Inkl
“Mr. Moore, what are you doing here?”Margot smiled as she looked at Joseph.Joseph walked right up to her and said, “I haven’t been to Londsville before. I decided to pay you a visit since we knew each other. Are there any fun places in Londsville?”Margot nodded. “There are plenty, but it’s obviously not comparable to Clacton. How long are you planning to stay here?”Joseph remained silent for a moment before looking at her solemnly. “Forever.”Margot was taken aback. “Young Mr. Moore, what do you mean?”“Please do not address me as such. Just call me Joseph. You’re Tammy’s best friend, right? That means you’re practically family in my books. Let’s skip all the formalities, shall we?” Joseph corrected her with a frown.Margot’s lips twitched. “Alright, I’ll do as you ask.”Joseph was surprised. “I just got here. I don’t know what’s good to eat here either. Why don’t you be my tour guide?”Margot felt frustrated. She had planned to brainstorm ways to mess with Kayla, but it s
“Margot, Joseph, what are you doing?” Tamara hurried over. She noticed Margot and Joseph talking amongst themselves. They’d even make some throwing motions now and then.“Good to see you here, Tammy.” Margot immediately pulled Tamara over when she saw her. “Tell me. How likely would someone die if they were thrown into the sea?”Tamara stared wordlessly at Margot.She turned to Joseph. “What is going on, Joseph?”Margot forced Tamara to face her. “We were discussing how to get rid of two people. Joseph suggested we throw them into the sea. I think that might work. So I came here.”Tamara was flabbergasted.Joseph stared at Margot. “I agree with what you said earlier about taking a boat to the middle of the sea before throwing them overboard. I think that will work better.”Margot’s eyes sparkled. “Really?”Joseph nodded seriously. “Yes.”Tamara sighed and said, “That’s enough!”She furrowed her brows at Joseph. “What are you doing, Joseph? How could you give her the idea to k
