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
The skirt was really short, and the top was practically a bra!“Why would you buy something like that? You…” Tamara couldn’t think of anything fitting to say all of a sudden.Sebastian was getting more unruly by the day!The man’s face reemerged on the screen. “Don’t you like it? How about this one?”Then, he turned the camera to show her another outfit.It was…Tamara could not bear to look anymore. “Sebastian, I’m going to be straight with you. I will never ever wear this. You’d better toss them out right now. Otherwise, don’t even think about seeing me!”With that, she hung up the call. The breeze on the balcony was cooling, but she felt warm all over. It was a little frustrating.Not a moment later, Sebastian called back. Tamara declined his call right away.Sebastian continued to call her again and again. After a few more calls, Tamara finally answered, but she wouldn’t show her face on the screen. Sebastian’s deep, magnetizing voice rang out, “Don’t be mad at me, oka
Tamara was rendered speechless.It was fortunate that Sebastian hadn’t gone too far. After kissing her on the cheek, he let go of her and walked into the room to play with the kids.Tamara went to unpack her luggage. After she was done, they went to eat downstairs.When Jonathan and Cheryl saw Sebastian, they were taken aback. Old Mrs. Moore was the only one who smiled at Sebastian and said, “Seb, how nice of you to come.”Sebastian smiled gently. “Hello, Grandma. I’m here to pay Tammy’s mother a visit.”“Good.”Old Mrs. Moore nodded, seemingly pleased with his behavior.After noticing how glad Old Mrs. Moore seemed, Jonathan and Cheryl decided to stay quiet.“Your cousins will arrive much later, so we don’t have to wait for them. We can just go right ahead and eat,” Cheryl said.Tamara nodded. “It’s such a shame that Joseph is not around. Otherwise, we’d be a riot.”Cheryl sighed. “I think that’d be best. Your mother might deem us too noisy if he came along.”Tamara fell si
“Grandpa,” Melly called out obsequiously, then took two steps forward subconsciously. She then paused as if she had just thought of something.Elijah’s eyes shifted toward Melanie. His heart was throbbing in his chest. The girl turned out to be his granddaughter, but he had cruelly abandoned her elsewhere and neglected to inquire about her welfare over the previous four years.Elijah leaned over and waved a hand at Melanie. “Melly, come to Grandpa.”Melanie blinked her doe eyes, then turned back to look at Tamara and Sebastian.Sebastian had a cold expression while Tamara’s brows were furrowed. Everyone else did not know what to say.They treated Melanie like a princess, after all. They would do their best to fulfill whatever request she made.However, the man before them was Elijah Morrison!He was the devil incarnate and had done so many terrible things. They should all be keeping their distance from him.However, it was only natural for Melanie to have formed a familial bond
Elijah was taken aback. Then, he nodded. “You’re right. We’re practically strangers. I…”“Mr. Morrison, if you have nothing constructive to say, I’d like to excuse myself now.”Tamara did not want to spend another second in Elijah’s presence. She turned to leave.“Tamara.”Elijah called out her name. “About what happened all those years ago…”Tamara stopped walking, then turned toward him. “Speaking of which, after trying to have me killed over the years, you still haven’t given me valid answers to my queries. Are you able to provide me with the answers I seek now?”Elijah had paled significantly, making him look like he had aged several decades. “Yes…”Everyone left the cemetery together. Tamara and Elijah sat across from each other in a café beneath the Sambia Hotel.Elijah looked really cautious. He gazed at Tamara imploringly and did not seem at all arrogant or belittling like he did before.Tamara’s expression remained cold. She looked at Elijah without a hint of warmth
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
