“These are the information I’ve gathered during my venture there. I hope it will be of use to you.” Jayden gave Margot the file.Margot took it from him and smiled appreciatively at him. “Thank you, Jay.”Jayden returned her smile. “You’re most welcome.”Tamara stood by the side. She was worried sick. She didn’t want Margot to go on such a dangerous mission.But Tamara couldn’t change Margot’s mind. There was no way of stopping her.Once they left the lab, Tamara whispered to Margot, “I will have my men look into this. I’ll send you a complete report when they do.”Margot nodded, “Thank you.”After Tamara sent Margot on her way, she turned to Jayden. “Jay, is that island really that secluded?”Jayden patted Tamara’s head. “It is.”“Then wouldn’t Margot be in danger?” Tamara furrowed her brows.Jayden muttered faintly, “This is the only way for her to save him.”Tamara sighed helplessly. She returned to Kayla’s room.Kayla was still unconscious and bound to the bed.Austin
Tamara ducked under her covers.Sebastian always made things weird between them!Damn it!Tamara’s phone rang again. She rejected the call.Her phone rang three more times before Tamara finally answered the call. “Get your priorities straight.”Sebastian chuckled lowly, “Putting out the fire is my top priority.”Tamara groaned. She wanted to hang up the phone again.“My men brought back some news.” Sebastian seemed to take notice of Tamara’s plan and piped up with amusement.Tamara stopped. “What’s the news?Sebastian lowered his voice. “There is a video of it. The island is heavily guarded, and the inhabitants will let out warning calls whenever they see aircraft flying above them. So I asked my men to back down.”Tamara was anxious. “Send me the information.”Sebastian hummed but made no move to hang up the call.Tamara furrowed her brows. “Sebastian?”“Since we got that out of the way. Can we talk about something else?” came Sebastian’s husky voice.Tamara was tempte
Tamara fell silent. She recalled her actions. Indeed, she was more reckless than Margot back then.But if she were to go back in time, she would still choose to save Sebastian.After all, Tamara loved Sebastian.“Alright. I have to go home and pack up my stuff. You don’t have to send me off tomorrow. I don’t want to go through another farewell. It feels weird,” joked Margot before she hung up the phone.Tamara let out a helpless sigh and left the study room.…The next morning.Tamara was up early. She saw Old Mrs. Moore walking up the stairs when she left her room. The old woman was mumbling to herself, “I can’t believe little Joseph came home this morning and left without even greeting me. Sigh…”Tamara stalked closer to Old Mrs. Moore and could finally make out her mumbles.“What’s wrong, grandma?” Tamara walked up to Old Mrs. Moore and helped her up the stairs.Old Mrs. Moore sighed, “Joseph came home this morning but left immediately after. It seems he had forgotten to t
Inside the Moore manor.Tamara told Cheryl about her conversation with Joseph. Cheryl was oddly calm. “Every year, Joseph would take some spontaneous trips. I hazard a guess that he’s taking a vacation rather than traveling for business. You don’t have to worry about him.”Tamara nodded knowingly. “Got it.”She had a weird feeling about this.Why didn’t Joseph tell her if he was just taking a vacation for fun?Tamara checked her phone. It was 8.30 am. Margot’s flight should be taking off now.Tamara suddenly had a disturbing thought, but she quickly dismissed it.Impossible.Joseph had no idea what had happened to Margot. Why would he go with Margot?Tamara must be overthinking.The butler came over to inform them breakfast was served. Tamara headed for the dining hall. She ate a bowl of cereal to calm herself down.…Tamara visited the hospital. After making sure Benjamin was doing fine, she left the place.After that, Tamara went to Custry Corporation’s headquarters. The
“You’re most welcome!” Jerome replied, grinning.Tamara sighed.His enthusiasm was over the roof.Tamara couldn’t stop her smile from forming.It felt good to be acknowledged by those around Sebastian.…When Jerome returned to his desk, he busied himself with his work, but he had a wide grin on his face.Just then, the company line rang. Jerome answered immediately, “How may I help you, Young Mr. Lynch?”“Send me the documents,” ordered Sebastian dryly.Jerome glanced at the documents and secretly gave himself a pat on the back. He knew it would come in handy.Jerome brought the documents downstairs.At the same time, Tamara was lazily flipping through a book. She had no idea what the book was about.After all, Tamara wasn’t interested in business.All of a sudden, the door to the office opened, and a fashionable woman walked in.The two women stared at each other.Helena gave Tamara a once-over. She furrowed her brows. “Who are you? You don’t look like an employee. How
Dozens of security guards were rolling around on the office floor. They were either screaming or groaning from the pain. Helena’s shrieks rang through the air. She was staring at the indifferent woman who had remained seated on the president’s chair.Jerome widened his eyes at that sight.“What…” Jerome was at a loss for words.Sebastian glanced at Jerome with his cold gaze. “Is this the surprise?”Jerome remained silent.He wanted to leap off the building.He was only gone for two minutes!How did things turn out like this in the span of two minutes?“Seb, this woman…she’s here to cause trouble! She plans on ruining the entire company!” Helena’s eyes shone when she saw Sebastian. She rushed over to complain.Sebastian ignored Helena and brushed past her. He came up to Tamara, and his gaze softened. “Are you hurt?”Tamara blinked up at Sebastian playfully. “You need better security, Mr. Custry.”The injured security guards gritted their teeth.They weren’t good enough?Wro
Helena did not bother to hide her disdain for Tamara. She appeared ready to rip Tamara apart at the first opportunity.Tamara guessed Helena and Joanne were close.Even if Sebastian said no one in his family would dare go against him, the Custry family was just made up of too many members.If Tamara chose to be with Sebastian, she would have to deal with all the problems thrown her way. So Tamara had to know everything about them—their family dynamics and backgrounds.Tamara was lost in thought when her head got tilted up.Tamara snapped back to her senses. She met Sebastian’s gentle yet longing gaze. “Are you planning to marry me, Tammy?”Tamara furrowed her brows. She slapped away his hand. “Learning about your family and marrying are two entirely different things.”Sebastian chuckled lowly before nodding. “Alright, I’ll have Jerome work on it.”Tamara observed Sebastian’s handsome face. She suddenly stood up and kissed him.Sebastian immediately wrapped an arm around Tamara
Jessica had been gone for three days now.Damien and Layla were worried sick. When they got a strange email, they wanted to call the police, but the sender warned them against alerting the authorities. They would be signing Jessica’s death warrant if they did.The couple grew frightful at that.Damien lacked Hugo’s network of contacts. He ran a small business and was barely scraping by. He relied heavily on Custry Corporation’s share returns to get by in Clacton.They immediately came to Hugo for help. They never expected Sandy to turn them away!Layla grew pale with worry. “What should we do now?”Damien was at his wits’ end.Just then, Selena’s car drove past them. Selena was resting with her eyes closed when the driver suddenly spoke up. “Mrs. Custry, there seemed to be someone from the Custry family here.”Selena opened her eyes and saw Layla. She recognized the woman. She ordered, “Stop the car.”Selena got out of the car and approached the couple. “It’s been a while, Lay
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
