Kayla was suddenly yanked back, and a loud slap echoed throughout the hall.Kayla shrieked. She held her stinging cheek and gave Tamara a harsh glare. “How dare you hit me?”“I did hit you. What are you going to do about it?” Tamara narrowed her eyes cruelly. “Watch your mouth. If you don’t, I wouldn’t mind hitting you a few more times!”Kayla bit her lips. She had looked into Tamara before and found out she was part of the Moore family, one of the big four of Clacton!Kayla couldn’t afford to get on Tamara’s bad side.Damn it!Tamara turned her attention back to Margot. “Now is not the time for that. Let’s get Benjamin to the hospital.”Tamara had checked on Benjamin’s pulse and realized his heart rate was irregular. Tamara suspected Benjamin got poisoned.Yet he didn’t seem like it.Tamara was not well-versed enough to make a diagnosis. It was better if they rushed him to the hospital.Margot went rigid. After hearing Tamara’s analysis, she yelled at the bodyguards, “It’s t
Kayla was smiling weirdly at Margot like she was looking at a clown, but inside, she was actually seething with jealousy.Why did Benjamin choose to stay with Kayla?It was because he was afraid she would hurt Margot!Benjamin regarded Margot more important than his own life!“Speak!” Margot was impatient. She reached forward to grab Kayla’s arms, but Tamara stopped her.“Let her talk.” Tamara drew Margot back. “Since she brought it up, it means she wants to tell you about it.”“Well said, Miss Moore.” Kayla glanced darkly at Tamara.She had looked into Tamara. She knew Tamara had stayed in Londsville for over 20 years and was also the reason why her sister, Eugenia, was imprisoned.Kayla had previously paid a visit to Eugenia. Eugenia was depressed by then, having fallen from grace and completely lost her elegant temperament.That was why Kayla despised both Margot and Tamara!Tamara did not reply. She stared coldly at Kayla.Kayla snorted, “I placed a curse on him. Every 1
Margot stopped Kayla. She stared at Kayla and swallowed hard. “What should I do for you to save him?”Upon hearing that, Tamara’s brows furrowed. “Margot…”Margot was begging Kayla!Kayla snorted. She turned around and stared contemptuously at Margot. “If you kneel before me and beg, I might consider it…”“Don’t even think about it!” Tamara cut her off.Tamara grabbed Margot’s hand and said, “We will find a way to save Benjamin. I’ll hire doctors from around the world to treat him. Benjamin will be fine!”Kayla was a despicable villain!Margot was trembling. She bit her lips, feeling humiliated. Margot tightened her fists.She was shaking with anger!Kayla was pushing it!Margot gave Kayla a harsh glare, but Kayla merely brushed her off and muttered faintly, “The only person who can uplift the curse is me. So you must make a decision. Will you save Benjamin or your own pride?”With that, Kayla casually took a seat as if she had all the time in the world.She had a look of c
“Very well,” hummed Sebastian.Tamara helped Margot to Benjamin’s ward.Benjamin remained unconscious and was still hooked up to an IV. His handsome face was as white as sheets.Margot sat by his bed with a blank look. She observed Benjamin wordlessly.Tamara and Sebastian exited the ward and left the hospital.“Give her some time. She’ll come around,” said Tamara.Sebastian opened the car door for Tamara. They both got into the car. The atmosphere was unusually tense.This was all too sudden.Who would have thought Kayla had threatened Benjamin to divorce Margot?Kayla had a twisted personality. It seemed like she was getting revenge on Benjamin, yet she chose to marry him too.This was a huge mess.Sebastian took Tamara’s hand and comforted her quietly, “Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”Tamara nodded. Just then, a phone rang.It was Sebastian’s phone.Sebastian pulled out his phone and answered the call. After a few moments, his face fell.After hanging up the phone, he tu
Camilla’s uninterested face tensed, and she became stiff. “It’s finished.”Jayden hummed, “Not bad.”Then, he slowly retracted his hand and went to get the samples.As soon as he turned around, Camilla touched her burning cheeks. She felt hot. Camilla forced herself to calm down.Jayden was just closing the door.Why was she blushing over this?Soon, Jayden returned with a vial of a sample. He passed it to Camilla and said faintly, “Compare this with Kayla’s blood. Tell me the results when you’re done.”Camilla nodded and took the vial from him.Her fingers lightly brushed against Jayden’s hand.Camilla felt electricity coursing through her from the touch. She immediately retracted her hand.Jayden was looking through some files. Upon noticing Camilla wasn’t taking the sample from him, he looked up at her. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing.” Camilla snatched the vial from him. This time, she took great care in avoiding touching Jayden.Her heart pounded hard against her chest. Camil
Tamara didn’t give Kayla the chance. She stepped forward and knocked Kayla out.Tamara exited the room sullenly.Austin was surprised. “Can she really kill someone with her curse?”Tamara pursed her lips. “I don’t know. Continue with your research. But take close care in giving her some anesthetic when she wakes up. We’re not sure how true her words are. But it’s better to be safe than sorry.”Austin nodded. “Very well.”Tamara left the lab with Sebastian.Jayden was going through his notes. He chuckled warmly when he saw the couple. “It’s lunchtime. Care to grab a bite with me?”“Sure,” nodded Tamara. She wrapped her hand around Sebastian’s arms.Jayden smiled at their actions.“Wait for me at the car. I have to change out of this,” muttered Jayden.“Alright.” Tamara and Sebastian exited the building.Jayden spun around and came to Camilla’s desk. He tapped his fingers against the table. “Let’s eat.”Camilla was startled. “But…sir, you will be dining with your family. I’ll
This wasn’t the first time Camilla had been in Jayden’s car.Nevertheless, she continued to feel nervous.Her heart raced, and she couldn’t bring herself to glance at Jayden.Camilla cursed herself for being a coward. Her heart was bursting with emotions, but she was too much of a wimp to admit it to Jayden.Camilla liked Jayden.She had been pining for him ever since her first year in college.Camilla worked her tail off in her studies and eventually started working at Jayden’s lab.She had hoped Jayden would take notice of her if she completed all her homework. Maybe, he would even be impressed by her excellence.Yet things didn’t go as planned.Jayden was gentle and respectful with her, but that was just how he was to everyone—no matter the gender.Jayden was gentle and elegant. He felt like a warm summer breeze, so people were naturally drawn to him, but Jayden always kept them at a distance.Even so, Camilla couldn’t stop herself from falling for him.She couldn’t stop
Tamara frowned, "Jay, you…"Jayden looked indifferent. "Don't bother."Tamara let out a helpless sigh. She turned to Sebastian. "What should I do? All my brothers are still single."Sebastian looked on coldly. "Oh."Tamara fought the urge to roll her eyes.…At the same time, outside.Camilla paled. Her long lashes fluttered slightly before she headed for the restroom.He said that she was just his student.Was there no hope between them?Camilla's heart was shattered. Their relationship had ended before it had even begun.Camilla bit her lips and looked into the mirror. Her complexion was flawless, and she was beautiful.But she wasn't Jayden's type.Camilla was heartbroken. Tears welled up in her eyes.She took out her phone and called Jayden."Hello, Camilla," came Jayden's warm voice."I just remembered the experiment results are out, sir. I'll be heading back to look at it. Please carry on without me." Camilla composed herself before the words came rushing out of h
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
