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
Tamara was rendered speechless.She couldn’t focus on the book in her hand any longer. She furrowed her brows and said, “Thank you, but I don’t like coffee.”Jervis replied, “How about some juice? They have a pretty good selection over here. What would you like to drink?”Tamara said, “I don’t want anything. Mr. Darson, it’d be best if you waited for President Custry in the lounge. He’ll be here soon.”Jervis sounded incredibly disappointed. “I just wanted to chat a little more with you, pretty lady. It’s clear to me now that you don’t like me.”Tamara remained silent.As if she would like him!Tamara did not say anything, and Jervis’ voice could no longer be heard.Only then did she relax. She hoped the man would stop bothering her. If she got angry, Custry Corporation might end up losing one of its business partners.Tamara continued to read the book silently. However, after a few long hours, Sebastian’s meeting showed no indication of ending anytime soon. She was bored out
Sebastian’s expression darkened. He took the elevator down to the basement.It didn’t matter how Jervis spent his personal time. However, Custry Corporation was on the cusp of securing a business deal with DK Corporation. If they secured the deal, Custry Corporation would prosper more than ever.In the parking lot basement.Sebastian’s tall figure emerged from the elevator as the doors opened. Jerome was hot on his tail, and a few security guards could be seen attempting to keep the situation under control. Jervis stood off to the side, covered in bruises. He gave the person surrounded by the guards a hateful glare.“Beat her to death! Make sure she learns her lesson. I can’t believe I had to suffer such humiliation coming here! I’m going to reconsider working with Custry Corporation!”Upon hearing that, the security guards panicked.They knew who Jervis was, after all. He was someone that Custry Corporation wanted to work with. If this incident caused the business deal to fail,
In the parking lot, a scream that sounded like it came from a banshee echoed.After a rough kick, the bones in one of Jervis’ legs broke.Sebastian grabbed him by the collar, then glared at him furiously. “How dare you even think about touching what’s mine.”Jervis let out a pained wail. He shook his head and said, “I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. Seb, please just let me off the hook…”Sebastian did not seem intent on doing that. He gathered his strength, which was far greater than Tamara’s, and punched Jervis. Jervis eventually passed out from the pain!Sebastian fixed his collar afterward. His handsome, charming face exuded hostility as he regarded Jervis’ unconscious body with disdain. He looked at him like he was dirt on his shoes.Tamara was precious to him. He was willing to give his everything to make sure she never got hurt!Jervis, the bastard, really deserved to die!“Sebastian.”Tamara called out to him.Sebastian turned toward her right away. The ferocity in his e
Cheryl let out a sigh. “That young lady is really quite wonderful. Why can’t Jay be less of a dummy?”Never in a million years would Tamara think that Jay would do something like that.“Let me call him. I’ll get some details about what happened.” Tamara couldn’t believe her ears. She decided that it would be best to ask Jay herself.“Alright, go ahead. Help me give Jay some good advice, okay? I don’t know why my sons are so hopeless when it comes to women,” Cheryl said.Tamara was rendered speechless.Aunt Cheryl could be a little bit too much at times……Tamara went upstairs to give Jayden a call.“Tammy.” Jayden’s gentle voice rang out.Tamara braced herself, then asked, “Aunt Cheryl went to the research institute today, didn’t she? I think she must’ve misunderstood what happened. Jay, you didn’t set Camilla up with another man, did you?”Jayden huffed out a laugh. “Of course not. I don’t like playing matchmaker. I only asked Camilla to show the new intern around.”Tamara
Tamara was rendered speechless.She sighed.In the laboratory.Kayla remained unconscious.Tamara eyed her for a moment, then retracted her gaze. She glanced over at Jayden and asked, “Jay, you said the research was getting trickier by the minute. What did you mean by that?”Jayden pointed at a chair, indicating for Tamara to sit down. Then, he took the seat across from her and said, “I’ve been studying curses for several years now, so I’m pretty adept at all sorts. The more I researched, the deeper my understanding grew. I found that the cursed bug in Kayla’s body is anything but ordinary.”Tamara was still confused. “What do you mean?”“It could be a top-tier cursed bug. It could have been easily removed if it had been of the ordinary type. However, if it were a top-tier one, it would be extremely difficult to deal with,” Jayden explained, reaching up to push his glasses up.Tamara was shocked. “Cursed bugs can be classified at different levels?”Jayden nodded. “I don’t have
When Tamara quickly turned to look, she noticed Camilla sitting down on the other side of the bar. Then she ordered a drink from the bartender and began drinking on her own.The bar’s lights were dim. The colorful lights shone on her from time to time, yet she did not seem to feel them. She sipped on her drink, and the cold aura she embodied seemed out of place in the bar.Tamara wanted to head over, but when she noticed how hostile Camilla seemed, she figured Camilla probably wouldn’t appreciate her company.She couldn’t help but purse her lips and think, “What is Camilla doing here all by herself?”As time passed, more and more people filtered into the bar. Camilla’s coldness was alluring, which ignited some men’s desire to dominate her. A handful of men could be seen eyeing Camilla from time to time.Tamara hurriedly took out her phone and sent Jayden her location. Then, she texted, “Jay, I saw Camilla in the bar. Something seems off about her. I think she might’ve been drugged
Camilla couldn’t help but let out a soft moan. She opened her hazy eyes and was met with a handsome face staring at her from close up.She moved her lips, wanting to say something. However, an odd sensation surrounded her lips, so she subconsciously licked them.Jayden hurriedly straightened up. Breathing heavily, he glanced at Camilla and said, “You’re drunk. I’m going to get you coffee.”With that, he left the room in a hurry.Camilla stared up at the ceiling, feeling stunned. She was almost certain she had kissed Mr. Moore—if her senses hadn’t been mistaken.Did she kiss Mr. Moore?Camilla flushed bright red at the thought, but she couldn’t stop the excitement that lit up her eyes. She quickly covered her face.There was no way she could keep up her usual cold facade.At this moment, she acted like a shy little girl. She tried to recall the sensations she had felt just moments ago.She couldn’t feel much because the kiss had been too brief.However, a bold thought suddenly
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
