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.
Tamara sighed.It seemed there was no way out of this.“I suddenly lost my interest in talking to you, Margot,” groaned Tamara.“Come on. I’ll stop. Let’s talk about the opening ceremony. The 8th, right? I think that’s a good date. Do you have anything else you need to prepare?” Margot immediately jumped back to the topic.Tamara smiled, “Nothing much. Once we have a date, we can leave the rest to the planner.”“Okay,” Margot said as she jotted down the date.Just then, Tamara received another call. She checked the caller ID. Her lips immediately curled into a smile. “I’m going to hang up. I’m receiving another call.”“Is it Young Mr. Lynch?” Margot teased knowingly.“What a smartass,” giggled Tamara. She hung up the call before she answered Sebastian.“Tammy,” came the low and husky voice. Tamara instantly melted.“I’m surprised you have the time to call me,” taunted Tamara.Sebastian huffed in amusement. “So it was you.”Tamara hummed. “What’s wrong? Do you feel sorry for
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
