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
Camilla looked up at the man who was inches away from her in shock. The gentle facade Jayden usually sported was nowhere to be found. The man before her was staring down at her coldly.The Jayden she knew was nothing like this!“Let go of me! Jayden Moore, get up…” Camilla began to struggle.She was terrified of Jayden at this moment. His eyes showed no kindness, and his words were full of thorns.Why did he keep talking about money? He even asked her to name her price…How could he say that to her? Camilla couldn’t fathom it.Her heart throbbed painfully in her chest as she struggled. It felt as if Jayden had stomped on it cruelly, causing a burning sensation in her heart. She wanted to stay as far away from this man as possible!When Jayden saw the disbelief in Camilla’s eyes, he chuckled lightly, then let go of her.She jumped to her feet as soon as she was freed. However, the bath towel wrapped around her suddenly loosened, revealing her perfect figure, which was mesmerizin
Tamara and Helena walked out of the private room and got into the elevator. As they chatted away, the elevator stopped on the next floor. Then, a familiar figure got on.Tamara blinked. “Camilla?”Camilla turned toward Tamara. Her gaze turned cold as she greeted, “Miss Moore.”After the greeting, she retracted her gaze.Tamara was taken aback. What on earth happened?Shouldn’t Camilla be with Jay at this moment?Judging by how Camilla looked, it appeared she had sobered up. What happened before this?Tamara looked stunned, but Camilla was honestly acting too hostile. Tamara wanted to chat with her but couldn’t think of anything to say.The elevator brought them to the first floor.Camilla walked out. Tamara was debating whether or not to speak when Camilla abruptly stopped.“Miss Moore, may I have a word with you?” She glanced over at Tamara.Helena said, “I’ll get the car.”Tamara and Camilla moved to stand in a corner by the club’s exit. It was a secluded area, and the li
Upon arriving home, Tamara saw Thomas and Caleb playing chess with Old Mrs. Moore in the living room.Old Mrs. Moore was teaching the little ones as best as she could, and Thomas and Caleb seemed intent on listening to every word. Melanie sat on the sidelines with both hands under her chin. She looked really focused as well. It was really adorable.“Melly.”Tamara walked over and lifted Melanie into her arms. Then, she kissed her cheek.“Mommy missed you.”Melanie hugged Tamara’s neck and kissed her mother’s cheek repeatedly. “I missed you too, Mommy.”“Mommy, what about me?”Thomas stepped forward, looking upset.Tamara scoffed. “You should take notes from your brother. Do you see him sticking to me like glue all the time? Thomas Moore, you’re four years old already, not three. You have to learn to be more mature.”Thomas was rendered speechless.He was only four, yet he felt a lot older than he was supposed to.Melanie slid off of Tamara and walked over to Thomas. She call
Tamara listened quietly to Old Mrs. Moore and learned a lot about her mother’s past.It turned out that Alex knew how to fly planes. Furthermore, she was great at martial arts and had a black belt in Taekwondo as well.Her mother’s favorite sport was wingsuit flying. It was an extremely risky but thrilling sport. Whenever she swooped down, her mother would yell out in exhilaration.Alex was also a dancer, and she used to be the head of a dance troupe. She once led her dance troupe to perform on a world-renowned stage.Her mother was an entrepreneur as well. She had spent a short time working in Moore Corporation and almost got the company on par with Custry Corporation.Her mother had many talents. Old Mrs. Moore almost couldn’t keep track of everything. However, no matter how talented her mother was, she had ended up holed up in a small city and was quite literally held hostage there her entire life. She wasn’t able to get out and had even met her demise miserably. Tamara cou
