“Young Mr. Lynch, after Young Mrs. Lynch arrived at the Simmons family villa, she soon left for Simmons Corporation. She’s still there as we speak.” Jerome told Sebastian about his find. He continued, “Ever since Jacob Simmons’s failed investment, Simmons Corporation had fallen from a great height. It is now on the verge of bankruptcy. Young Mrs. Lynch is probably there to handle the situation.”“What could she possibly do about Simmons Corporation’s bankruptcy?” Sebastian flipped through the findings and mocked.Jerome was afraid of saying the wrong words. He merely said, “I also found that Young Mrs. Lynch’s brother, Quentin, has a history of gambling.”Sebastian’s face turned cold. His eyes scanned the findings before he ordered Jerome, “Call Tamara and tell her to come home.”Jerome almost agreed before remembering something. However, he was at a loss for words. “Young Mr. Lynch…”“What?” Sebastian’s piercing gaze dug into Jerome.Jerome hesitated before finally finding the c
Coral screamed at the sight of this. She flopped over to Quentin. “Are you okay?”Quentin couldn’t find his words as he coughed out an endless stream of blood.Tamara turned to look in the direction of the door in shock. There stood Sebastian in all his glory. If looks could kill, Sebastian would have massacred everyone in the office by now.Why was he here?“Why are you just standing there?” Sebastian walked over to Tamara. His voice softened unconsciously.Tamara blinked before she raised her hand. “Why are you here…”She suddenly remembered Sebastian's lack of sign language knowledge. She hurriedly searched for her phone.Sebastian’s gaze darkened. He took hold of her hand. “Let’s go home.”Tamara paused. A weird feeling seeped into her heart. The hand on her wrist was warm and sent electricity through her. Her breathing quickened at this.“Sebastian… Sebastian Lynch. How dare you lay your hands on me…” Quentin coughed as Coral helped him up. His clothes were soaked in bloo
Coral widened her eyes. She immediately got down on her knees to beg for forgiveness. “Young Mr. Lynch, please! I was wrong! My husband has learned his lesson too! We shouldn’t have used Tammy! Please forgive us!”Sebastian gave Jerome a look. “What are you waiting for?”Jerome nodded solemnly. “Yes.”Sebastian was a man of his word. The only reason why he was going easy on Quentin was that Quentin was Tamara’s brother. If it were anyone else, they would have disappeared from this very city by now.Seeing that Sebastian made no plans to let them off easy, Coral fainted from distraught.Tamara immediately struggled against Sebastian and rushed to her aid. Only after she found no bruises on Coral did her worries ease.“Do you pity them?” Sebastian noticed Tamara’s actions, and his tone shifted into something colder.Tamara shook her head in denial and took out her phone. “I just don’t want their blood to stain my parents’ company.”Sebastian raised an eyebrow, and his face lighte
Tamara’s face flushed bright red. She couldn’t bring herself to face Sebastian.She wanted to get up, but she was in an awkward position. She couldn’t do anything about it.At her wit’s end, Tamara looked to Sebastian for help. But when she met his darkened gaze, she had second thoughts.She shouldn’t have provoked Sebastion. She let out a choked noise as she was lifted up. She was back in her seat. But this time, someone was on top of her.Tamara widened her eyes and signed nervously, “What are you doing?”Sebastian stared deep into her eyes. “Have you forgotten that I don’t understand sign language?”Tamara felt embarrassed and reached out a hand to push him away.But Sebastian wouldn’t budge.“Tamara, you were the one who started it. I thought you wanted to repay me for my kindness.” Seeing her struggles, Sebastian couldn’t help but tease.No one asked him for help!Tamara wanted to scream at his egoistic ass. But when she met his gaze, she could see the fire burning wit
After Tamara had changed out of her clothes, only then did her beating heart calm down.She texted Margot to tell her she was on the way before she left for 1999.Tamara’s cheeks were only starting to look less flushed when she arrived at Margot’s office.“Tammy, what’s wrong? Why do you look so flustered?” asked a frowning Margot. “Did Sebastian bully you?”Tamara shook her head. “I’m fine.”This only fueled Margot’s confusion. “What happened?”Tamara felt nervous about this. The scene between her and Sebastian back in the car kept repeating in her mind. She hurriedly signed to explain, “I’m here to find you and ask for your help. I suspect that Quentin is hiding something from me. He is in dire need of money. But with how the company is doing, I doubt he needs that much funds. I want to know if something else is going on.”Margot nodded. “That won’t be an issue. Quentin is an idiot and not very good at cleaning up his tracks. I’ll see what I can find.”Tamara nodded in apprec
These were the worst of men.Because they have no regard for their own lives, they don’t feel threatened by anything.Anything except money.Tamara was deep in thought.She couldn’t let matters regarding the Simmons family slide.But if she were to solve the issue, she had to bring Quentin in for the ride.“Sebastian broke Quentin's fingers. He should behave for now,” signed Tamara.Margot widened her eyes in surprise. “Sebastian did that? To protect you?”Tamara nodded.“That’s good. He earned himself some brownie points. I’m glad he’s not like the rest of his family,” continued Margot.Margot didn’t like the Simmons family.Especially Yareli Baiss.“Hello. Is this seat taken?” a gentle voice sounded.Both Margot and Tamara faced the owner of the voice. But the man had his eyes set on Tamara.Tamara grimaced at this and shook her head to reject him.But the man was relentless. “But I feel that this is the best spot to enjoy the music. I’m sure you two ladies wouldn’t mi
“If you want custody over me, please bring it up to the jury. Stop dragging me around like I’m some ragdoll.”Both Sebastian and Margot fell silent at this.Tamara breathed a sigh of relief at their silence.She wouldn’t know what to do if things got tenser than that.“Margot, I’ll leave the present in your care for now,” signed Tamara to Margot.Sebastian frowned at this. “What are you saying, Tamara?”“Tammy! I can’t believe you would choose him over me!” Margot pouted unhappily.Tamara sighed, helpless.Sebastian raised his eyebrows at this. It was clear he felt better upon hearing that.Tamara gave Margot a helpless look. “I need to come up with a plan regarding Quentin. Maybe Sebastian can help.”Margot nodded at this. “Fine.”Then, she gave Sebastian a look. “Take good care of Tammy, Young Mr. Lynch.”Sebastian didn’t even bother with Margot. He took ahold of Tamara’s hand and guided her towards the lift.This time, Tamara complied.Once they entered the lift, Sebas
Tamara fell deep in her thoughts.Rastone was not far from Londsville. Going there was not an issue; getting past Sebastian was.Even if she did manage to get past Sebastian, she was mute. She wouldn’t be able to communicate with the people there.But she couldn’t just let Anthony go alone. She paced around the room.After a moment of thought, she decided she would bring Anthony along.Tamara started, “I have to be there in person. But I’ll bring you along in case.”Anthony reluctantly agreed, “Yes, Miss Simmons…”In the evening, after Tamara came up with an excuse, she left her room and headed for the study.Sebastian had a set schedule. He would always be home by 8 pm.Tamara knocked on the study room’s door.“Come in,” came a low voice.Tamara sucked in a breath before walking in. She saw Sebastian dealing with some paperwork.She walked over and showed him her phone. On it was a line of pre-written text. “I’m going out.”Sebastian glanced at him and asked coldly, “Whe
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
