Tamara and Sebastian argued for a long time, but none of them managed to convince the other. In the end, they decided to let Caleb stay the night at Tamara’s place.However, if Sebastian wished to bring Tamara home with him, he had to make a move.Sebastian drove Tamara and Caleb back to the Moore manor. Thomas and Melanie had just come back from school as well. Caleb immediately went to find his siblings.Tamara sat in the passenger seat. There was a ghost of a smile on her beautiful face. She turned to Sebastian and asked softly, “Do you want to come in?”Sebastian stared at her with his dark eyes. His voice was low but gentle. “I want to. But I would prefer to go somewhere else.”Tamara was confused for a moment. When she finally caught on, her face flushed bright red.She sent an embarrassed glare at him and got out of the car.She was so done with the conversation!Sebastian’s gaze softened as he observed Tamara’s embarrassment. He rested one hand on the steering wheel whi
Cheryl rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t you already have grandchildren?”Jonathan sighed, “You know what I mean. I hope our four sons can get married soon. At least we wouldn’t have to worry about them then.”Cheryl paused. She gave it a thought before murmuring, “I’ll try. It would be good if he could do so. But I’m not going to force him.”Jonathan frowned, “If he could predict Tamara’s marriage, why can’t he predict our sons’?”Cheryll rolled her eyes again. “He is a tarot reader. Don’t you know tarot readers have rules to follow?”Jonathan’s brows knitted tightly together. He wanted to argue back, but when he saw his pissed wife, he decided to keep his mouth shut.Jonathan swore to look into this mysterious tarot reader and find out who exactly he was!…Tamara went upstairs. The third floor was designed specifically for children. It was spacious and allowed the kids to have as much fun as they wanted.“Mommy.” Melanie ran over to Tamara when she saw her.Tamara immediately
Tamara indulged in her children’s play until dinner time rolled around, and she brought them downstairs. Old Mrs. Moore was already seated at the dining table.Jonathan spared a glance at Caleb and spoke up, “When are you planning to change Caleb’s surname, Tammy?”Tamara was confused. “Why does he need to change his name?”Jonathan’s brow furrowed slightly. “Are you planning to have him be part of the Custry family? To have him become the heir to the Custry family? If my memory serves me correctly, you and Sebastian were separated by the Custry family, right?”Tamara blinked. “I have never planned to have Caleb change his name. Sebastian is part of the Custry family, after all.”Jonathan’s eyes twitched at this, but he didn’t object.In the end, it was Tamara’s choice.After dinner, Tamara brought her kids out for a stroll.Tamara put her kids to bed when they started to get sleepy. As they nodded off to sleep, she cradled Caleb in her arms. Her other two children made no fuss
“Caleb belongs to the Custry family. What does he have anything to do with the Moore family? What are you plotting? Why do you keep taking Caleb away? Are you looking down on us, the Custry family?” shrieked a voice.Downstairs, Selena from the Custry family was kicking up a fuss.Selena was best friends with Sandy, and both of them had married into the Custry family. They always had each other’s back.Selena had only one daughter. She was snobbish and arrogant herself. When she learned that Caleb had been taken to the Moore manor, she made it her life mission to bring him back.Selena glared harshly at Jonathan and Cheryl and sneered, “Have you forgotten? Seb divorced that mute long ago. Why are you still bothering Seb’s son? Are you trying to get on our good side? What’s wrong? Is the Moore family coming to an end?”Selena’s snobbish yelling greeted Jonathan and Cheryl as they walked downstairs. It took them some time to realize Selena was there for the kid.Cheryl raised a bro
“How dare you?” Selena was furious.Tamara took a seat beside Cheryl. She asked casually, “What happened, Aunt Cheryl? Tell me all about it.”Cheryl smirked, “Gladly. You know how men are. Edmund is your typical spendthrift. He doesn’t think twice before spending all his money. He even tried to win a college student over by divorcing this lady before you.”Cheryl sent a mocking glance at Selena as if she was nothing but a pathetic clown.Tamara feigned shock. “That’s horrible. I feel sorry for the lady.”“There’s more than meets the eye,” continued Cheryl. “She had used some dirty tactics to ensure her marriage with Edmund. She is doomed to never have his heart for the rest of her wretched life.”“Shut the fuck up!” Selena had had enough of this. She glared harshly at Cheryl. “Why are you trying to bring up the past? My sole mission is to bring Caleb home with me right now!”“You wish to bring Caleb home?” Tamara raised a brow at her. She didn’t even try to hide her mockery. “An
“I don’t want to live any longer, Mother!” wailed Joanne. Sandy’s heart broke hearing her daughter’s distress.She asked worriedly, “Don’t cry, Anne. Tell me what’s wrong. Did someone bully you? Tell me what happened. I’ll make them pay!”Joanne only continued to cry.She didn’t know where to begin!She was supposed to attend a meeting at Custry Corporation today. Just as she was about to deliver her speech, a video of her fucking another man appeared on the screen behind her!Joanne’s jaw dropped.Even worse, every employee received a copy of the video from the screen in their emails.Everyone had a video of her!Joanne was devastated. She immediately locked herself up in the storeroom.Who was it?Who the fuck was it?How did this video get out?She remembered who that man was. He was the man who barged into her room back then!After that day, Joanne dug up information about the man. He was just a nobody who worked at the club. Joanne relaxed at the realization.She k
Joanne grew pale. She trembled as she watched Sebastian approach her.“Listen to me, Seb. Whatever you saw in the video is fake. I was framed. I didn’t…” Joanne stuttered as she defended herself.She was married to Sebastian.If she ever found the person behind this, she would…“There will be a meeting with the company’s shareholders today. I will inform them of my decision to repurchase your shares. I’ll also send you overseas.” Sebastian’s dark eyes shone coldly. “For the time being, you should leave.”Joanne was now as white as sheets. “What do you mean by that? You are sending me away?”Sebastian’s eyes were as dark as the abyss. “You have to understand how your actions have affected Custry Corporation. To prevent any loss, you have to leave the Custry family.”Joanne shook her head. “No! I will not! I am the daughter of the Custry family! This is my home! No matter how much you despise me, you are still my brother, even if only by name! Think about a solution to this, pleas
“Anne! Are you insane? How could you speak to me like that?” Sandy trembled with anger. She couldn’t believe the daughter she had raised had turned on her.Instead of dealing with her problems, Joanne blamed her mother!Joanne held her stinging cheeks. She stared at Sandy in disbelief. “Did you just hit me?”Sandy swallowed. “I love you, Anne. I don’t want to see you suffer. That’s why I think you should lay low for the time being. If you continue to stay in Clacton, you…”“You…hit me.” Joanne was too shocked to hear what Sandy had to say. “I hate you!”Joanne roared through her tears before running out from the manor.“Mrs. Custry.” The butler caught the stumbling Sandy before she could fall over.Sandy pointed at Joanne’s retreating figure. “Quick! Go after her! Something bad might happen to her!”“Yes…” The butler immediately sent someone after Joanne.“Stop!” Just then, Hugo came down the stairs.His face darkened as he watched Joanne’s figure disappear around the corner.
