These were the worst of men.Because they have no regard for their own lives, they don’t feel threatened by anything.Anything except money.Tamara was deep in thought.She couldn’t let matters regarding the Simmons family slide.But if she were to solve the issue, she had to bring Quentin in for the ride.“Sebastian broke Quentin's fingers. He should behave for now,” signed Tamara.Margot widened her eyes in surprise. “Sebastian did that? To protect you?”Tamara nodded.“That’s good. He earned himself some brownie points. I’m glad he’s not like the rest of his family,” continued Margot.Margot didn’t like the Simmons family.Especially Yareli Baiss.“Hello. Is this seat taken?” a gentle voice sounded.Both Margot and Tamara faced the owner of the voice. But the man had his eyes set on Tamara.Tamara grimaced at this and shook her head to reject him.But the man was relentless. “But I feel that this is the best spot to enjoy the music. I’m sure you two ladies wouldn’t mi
“If you want custody over me, please bring it up to the jury. Stop dragging me around like I’m some ragdoll.”Both Sebastian and Margot fell silent at this.Tamara breathed a sigh of relief at their silence.She wouldn’t know what to do if things got tenser than that.“Margot, I’ll leave the present in your care for now,” signed Tamara to Margot.Sebastian frowned at this. “What are you saying, Tamara?”“Tammy! I can’t believe you would choose him over me!” Margot pouted unhappily.Tamara sighed, helpless.Sebastian raised his eyebrows at this. It was clear he felt better upon hearing that.Tamara gave Margot a helpless look. “I need to come up with a plan regarding Quentin. Maybe Sebastian can help.”Margot nodded at this. “Fine.”Then, she gave Sebastian a look. “Take good care of Tammy, Young Mr. Lynch.”Sebastian didn’t even bother with Margot. He took ahold of Tamara’s hand and guided her towards the lift.This time, Tamara complied.Once they entered the lift, Sebas
Tamara fell deep in her thoughts.Rastone was not far from Londsville. Going there was not an issue; getting past Sebastian was.Even if she did manage to get past Sebastian, she was mute. She wouldn’t be able to communicate with the people there.But she couldn’t just let Anthony go alone. She paced around the room.After a moment of thought, she decided she would bring Anthony along.Tamara started, “I have to be there in person. But I’ll bring you along in case.”Anthony reluctantly agreed, “Yes, Miss Simmons…”In the evening, after Tamara came up with an excuse, she left her room and headed for the study.Sebastian had a set schedule. He would always be home by 8 pm.Tamara knocked on the study room’s door.“Come in,” came a low voice.Tamara sucked in a breath before walking in. She saw Sebastian dealing with some paperwork.She walked over and showed him her phone. On it was a line of pre-written text. “I’m going out.”Sebastian glanced at him and asked coldly, “Whe
“Are you going out too, Young Mrs. Lynch?” When Ms. Thompson saw the suitcase in Tamara’s hand, she asked in confusion.Tamara nodded, and her gaze fell onto the suitcase in Ms. Thompson’s hand. Ms. Thompson understood her and smiled, saying, “Young Mr. Lynch is going to Rastone for a business trip. Where would you be going, Young Mrs. Lynch?”Tamara didn’t answer her.She instead gave Sebastian a weird look. Sebastian returned her gaze with calmness. He glanced at Ms. Thompson and said coldly, “You ask too many questions.”Ms. Thompson was confused.Did she say something wrong?Tamara ignored Sebastian and went downstairs. She had her breakfast and left after that.She had called for a taxi. But a black Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked in front of the door.Tamara took out her phone to check on the taxi. Sebastian saw through her and said, “Do you really think just about anyone would be allowed into Skarrowlilt Grove?”It finally dawned on Tamara. How could she forget?Skarrow
Tamara was furious beyond words. She immediately checked out of the hotel.Without another glance at Sebastian, she left the hotel.Sebastian stared wordlessly at Tamara’s retreating figure.Did he go too far?…After checking in to another hotel, Tamara opened her suitcase and took out another phone before sending a text to Anthony.Tamara started: “I changed my hotel. This is the address.”Anthony replied: “Yes, Miss Simmons.”After Tamara sent out the hotel’s address, she took out the information she had on the underground casino.Coincidentally, there was a yacht party to celebrate the boss’ wedding tonight.The theme was Masquerade. Upon reading that, Tamara smiled.Everything was working in her favor.There was a knock on the door to her room. A largely-build man stood outside.The man was Anthony Night. He had a scar on his eyebrow.Even so, he looked as if he wanted nothing more than to disappear from the public eye.“Miss Simmons,” called Anthony respectfully.
A tall figure stood beside the car. An air of nobility surrounded him.Seeing the familiar face, Tamara was at a loss for words.She walked toward the man and stared at him.Sebastian calmly said, “Why are you staring at me like that? Can’t I visit my in-laws’ graves?”Tamara rolled her eyes at this.Fine. He won this round.Since he was already here, she would blow her cover if she denied him further. Tamara had no choice but to bring him along.They stopped at the two graves and saw a bouquet of red roses in front of Tamara’s mom's tombstone.Tamara frowned. Who came to visit?Although it was true that Tamara’s mother loved red roses, wouldn’t it be out of line to bring the dead such flowers?Tamara stalked closer and bent down. She saw that there was a card attached to the bouquet. There were words written on it. “Dear Alex, I brought you your favorite flowers. Are you happy to see them?”What an affectionate letter.It was obvious that a man had written this.Was it a
Tamara huffed in annoyance.What a shameless man!Helpless in this situation, Tamara could only comply.Sebastian smirked victoriously.Back at the hotel, Tamara was too tired to converse with the man and headed straight to her room.Anthony trailed behind her this entire time. When he saw that Tamara had returned to her room, he sent her a text: “Miss Simmons, do you need me to get rid of the man?”Tamara replied: “There’s no need. I won’t be seeing him after 8 months anyway.”Anthony narrowed his eyes at this. His fingers hovered over the screen for a long time.Was that so?Sebastian did not come looking for Tamara for the rest of the day.Only then did Tamara start to believe that Sebastian hadn’t followed her here.Checking the time, Tamara remembered that the party would be starting at 7 pm. It’s time for her to head out.Taking out the costume and makeup Anthony had prepared for her, Tamara got to work.First, she put on a layer of heavy makeup to hide her identity.
Through the mask, Tamara could see the apparent nervousness on the bunny girl’s face.Anthony immediately reached out to shield Tamara, but someone had beat him to it.Tamara felt an arm snaked around her waist and a force pulling her back. Her body crashed into a man’s firm embrace.Following the crash, the bunny girl let out a shriek.The crowd around them took a few steps back in surprise.Tamara was also stunned by this. She couldn’t imagine what would have happened if the bunny girl had knocked into her.She sighed in relief before she remembered a man was holding her.She hurriedly struggled out of the man’s embrace and turned around.She almost puked when she saw who he was.It was none other than Sebastian Lynch!Why did she always have to bump into him?He was everywhere!“Thanks,” Anthony thanked on behalf of Tamara, for which she couldn’t be more thankful. They left after that.Sebastian furrowed his eyebrows. He found a sense of familiarity looking at the figur
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
