Sandy paled after hearing that. Her lips trembled as she stared into Sebastian’s cold eyes. She felt as if she had just been thrown into cold water.Sebastian knew!The car crash from four years ago had been orchestrated by Joanne in order to kill him. Sandy couldn’t believe that Sebastian knew about it!How did he find out?Sandy only knew about Joanne’s plans to kill Sebastian a lot later.She was furious when she found out and scolded Joanne.Joanne defended herself by saying, “I was just worried that you guys wouldn’t want me anymore after finding your biological son. I didn’t want to lose you guys. I was just scared…”Joanne had sobbed her heart out at the time. Unable to bear seeing her cry, Sandy decided to forgive her.She even helped Joanne cover up her tracks so Sebastian couldn’t find anything.She thought she had done a good job, but who knew that Sebastian would end up finding out anyway?Sandy felt a chill in her heart. She couldn’t find anything to say.Sebast
Tamara was taken aback. She stared at the bodyguard for a moment and wondered if Jerome had been the one to teach him to address her that way.The bodyguard did not understand her curious gaze. “Young Mrs. Lynch?”“It’s nothing. Let’s head inside, then.” Tamara retracted her gaze.She felt exasperated, but she knew there was no use saying anything about it. She knew that the bodyguards would stick to addressing her that way.Upon entering the room, there was a strong scent of blood.Tamara’s brows furrowed at that. The people inside turned toward her and greeted her loudly, “Welcome, Young Mrs. Lynch!”Tamara was rendered speechless.She walked inside and saw a haggard figure covered with blood. It was Joanne.Joanne had been subjected to ongoing torture, but she was still alive. Her shoulder wound had been treated, but the blood all over her made her look pitiful.The bodyguard said, “Young Mrs. Lynch, if you feel ill looking at her in this state, we can get her cleaned up. W
Upon seeing Tamara, Helena greeted her kindly. “Miss Moore.”Tamara cocked an eyebrow. “Why are you being so nice to me? Did something happen?”Helena looked embarrassed. “Let’s chat inside.”Tamara nodded with a smile, then walked into the dessert shop with her. The shop was filled with a sweet, fragrant scent. It smelled terrific.In the private room, Helena passed the menu to Tamara and asked, “What desserts do you like? Pick anything you want. My treat.”Tamara looked at her curiously. “Just tell me what this is all about.”“Well, you said it yourself last time. You told me to look into what happened all those years ago, then apologize. I didn’t believe you at first, but after the investigation, I realized that I really do owe you an apology. I’m sorry for wrongfully blaming you,” Helena said with sincerity. Now that she had kept her talons to herself, she seemed to turn soft and docile, like a little kitten. She was a far cry from the obnoxious, arrogant person she had once
Helena was taken aback. “Mom, what are you talking about? Calm down. Why are you so worked up?”Selena tightened her grip on Helena’s hand, and the hatred in her eyes intensified. However, she could not get herself to recount what had happened to her over the past few days!Tamara, that bitch, had instructed five men to lock her up in that villa for two whole days!Two days had almost broken her spirit.However, what was more humiliating was that she had ended up enjoying every moment of it!Selena felt guilty and did not want to let Helena or her husband, Paul Custry, know what had happened.Helena would definitely be embarrassed by her!Paul would definitely beat her to death.“Nothing. Nothing happened. I just…” Selena hurriedly retracted her thoughts and loosened her grip on Helena. Then, she got up and walked upstairs.“Mom, what’s wrong?” Helena trailed after her.Selena was acting in a very peculiar way. She had just called for Tamara’s death moments before. What posse
“Hello, who’s this?”“Tammy, it’s me!” Margot’s voice could be heard through the phone.Tamara’s eyes brightened. “Margot, what are you doing? Are you on the island?”Margot seemed to be whispering as if on purpose. “I am, but the island is strictly guarded. I’m not allowed to bring my phone with me. This will be the last phone call from me to you for now. I just wanted to let you know that I’ve arrived safely. Oh, by the way, I saw James! He’s on the same island!”James Gladwell?Tamara was taken aback. When she inquired about Jessica’s whereabouts in the past, she found out that the property she was on had belonged to James.After that incident, he didn’t cross her mind at all. His matters did not involve her, after all.However, James had also turned up on the island with the curses!Tamara suddenly had a bad feeling about this, but the feeling was quick to dissipate.“Margot, make sure to be extra careful on that island. Come home as soon as you can,” Tamara nagged, unable
“Tammy.”Once the call was connected, Sebastian’s handsome, charming face appeared on Tamara’s phone screen.“Sebastian, I just got news that James went to the island.” Tamara did not beat around the bush.Sebastian frowned. “You called me just to talk about another man?”Tamara was rendered speechless.“This is serious! Do you know about what happened to Jessica a few days ago?” Tamara felt a little weak. She sat on the sofa and burrowed into it.Sebastian nodded lightly. There was a hint of hostility on his handsome face. “Now you’re talking about another woman?”Tamara was left speechless.“Alright, fine. Let’s talk about you, then. How was work today? Have you eaten?” Tamara softened her tone and asked coyly.This tactic worked wonders on Sebastian. The man’s face had lost its coldness. He smiled warmly and said, “I’m still busy with work. Neither have I eaten.”“You should get something to eat now. You can get back to your work afterward. Your health’s more important,” T
Sebastian was rendered speechless.He returned his gaze to the photos on his laptop, thinking, “Didn’t she like any of these?”Then, he continued to search for more villas.…The next day.Tamara woke up to a call from Helena. It was the day of Jessica’s funeral.She looked taken aback and felt uneasy.Her impression of Jessica had turned vague. She felt uneasy because of James’ involvement in all of this.After packing up, she made her way to Damien’s house to attend the funeral.Helena was waiting for her at the entrance. She waved Tamara over after seeing her and said, “I just read the autopsy report. Gosh, she died so tragically. Her body was discovered to contain over a dozen men’s fluids, and all her limbs were fractured. They discovered various degrees of burns and knife wounds on her body...”Tamara was stunned. “That’s horrible…”Who the hell would be so cruel to a woman?Helena sighed and said, “Jessica might be a bit arrogant at times, but she wasn’t the worst. I
Tamara said softly, “It might be tough for you to get anywhere with your investigation. Even the police weren’t able to find any evidence. It just proves how meticulous the culprit is. They could be extremely powerful.”Helena pondered for a moment, then said, “I’ll try my best regardless. I can’t just let the culprit get away with it. I don’t want other innocent women to end up with the same tragic fate.”Tamara nodded. Her eyes lit up with approval.She did not hold such bravery at the moment. It was because she was being held back. She could not be selfless and throw herself into a dangerous situation for someone she barely knew.For now, Sebastian and her three kids were her priority. As long as they stayed safe and sound, she could die happy.Helena had a fiery personality. She was the type to keep her word. After saying goodbye to Tamara, she went to investigate the matter.Tamara headed home to change. After that, she drove to Custry Corporation.She missed Sebastian.Co
