Jayden shot her a faint smile and said, “I’m heading to the supermarket for something.”Tamara nodded. “Alright, take care. I’m going to head upstairs.”Jayden walked up to her and asked, “Did he do anything to you?”It was clear that Jayden was referring to Elijah.Tamara shook her head. “No.”When Jayden noticed how glum she looked, he reached out and patted her head. “Don’t worry. I’m sure everything will pan out soon.”Tamara nodded. “Thanks, Jay.”Jayden’s smile grew warmer. “Don’t sweat it. You’re the princess in our household, after all. All we want is for you to be happy.”Tamara nodded, then smiled. After that, she made her way toward Sambia Hotel.Jayden watched as Tamara disappeared from view. When he retracted his gaze, his expression grew cold.His gaze had shifted to the hotel across the street. He caught a glimpse of a woman’s beautiful figure and the way she tightened her grip on the luggage. For a brief moment, the two locked gazes. Jayden’s eyes, hidden behi
Ms. Thompson dashed over, her eyes wide with surprise as she looked at Sebastian and Tamara. Then, she shifted her gaze downwards and saw the three little children standing around them.Thomas and Caleb had identical features. Ms. Thompson noticed that their eyes resembled Sebastian’s.“Are these…your children?” Ms. Thompson asked with a grin.Tamara nodded. “Ms. Thompson, long time no see. These are our children, Thomas, Caleb, and Melanie.”It had been four years. Ms. Thompson’s hair had turned grey, and her face had more wrinkles. However, she still kept vigil over the villa. She believed that Sebastian and Tamara would return one day.Upon hearing that, Ms. Thompson looked ecstatic. “Oh, that sounds so lovely! The five of you have finally been reunited! I’m so happy for you!”Tamara patted her kids on their heads, then said, “Say hi to Ms. Thompson.”“Hi, Ms. Thompson!”The kids greeted her in unison. Their sweet voices made Ms. Thompson grin.“Gosh, they’re so cute. Come
“Tammy…”Margot’s panicked voice could be heard through the phone. It sounded as if she had just finished a marathon.“Margot? What’s wrong?” Tamara instantly grew alert and tried to discern the background noise.“Tammy, I found a way to remove the cursed bug. I’m trying to find a way back home now. Can you arrange for someone to come get me from Biarus?” Margot asked anxiously.Tamara answered, “Sure, that won’t be a problem. I’ll get my men to fetch you right away.”Margot said, “I’m really sorry, Tammy. I need to come clean with you about something.”With that, the chaotic background noise started up. Tamara began to worry, but just as she was about to speak, the call had already been disconnected.Why did Margot apologize to her?What on earth happened?Tamara turned to her side and saw that Sebastian was awake. “Sebastian, let’s go to Biarus now!”Sebastian furrowed his brows. “What happened?”Tamara grabbed her clothes and put them on. “Margot seems to have found a cur
Tamara hurriedly said, “Bring me to her right now.”The bodyguard nodded, then led Tamara and Sebastian to the cargo ship. They noticed an unconscious Margot being carried out by a few people.Tamara’s eyes widened. She hurried over and called out, “Margot? Margot?”Margot did not react at all.Tamara started to panic. “Quick, send her to the hospital!”The bodyguards lifted the stretcher and placed Margot into a vehicle cautiously.In the hospital.The operating room’s lights were on. Tamara stood outside uneasily and couldn’t help herself from feeling anxious.When Sebastian walked over and saw how Tamara looked, he hugged her and said, “Don’t worry. I managed to get some details about her condition. She only suffered minor physical injuries.”Tamara was still anxious. “Then why isn’t she out yet?”Sebastian made her sit on the chair next to him. “Just trust me, okay? Everything will be fine.”Tamara shut her eyes and tried to calm down.Sebastian recounted the bodyguard’
Margot sobbed her heart out. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she found it difficult to say anything to Tamara.Inwardly, Tamara was incredibly anxious. However, she didn’t rush Margot. Her friend had just woken up, after all. As such, she was probably still feeling out of sorts.Biarus was filled with unknown dangers. No one knew what horrors Margot and Joseph had experienced there.This time, Margot had returned alone.Tamara had a bad feeling about what happened but quickly dismissed it.She refused to think about it.Tamara maintained her composure, helped Margot sit up properly, and then poured her a glass of water. After seeing that Margot had calmed down, she asked, “Margot, what did you mean by that?”Margot held the glass of water with both hands. Upon hearing that, her long eyelashes fluttered, and her expression instantly filled with guilt and sorrow. “Tammy, Young Mr. Moore…got captured.”Tamara was taken aback. “How did that happen? Weren’t you guys together t
Tamara looked up at Sebastian’s handsome, charming face and asked, “What’s up?”“My team tracked down Joseph’s location and discovered how power was distributed on the island. Power is divided equally between two factions on that island. They’ve been fighting each other for dominance. A conflict arose between the two factions after Margot and Joseph went to the island and stole the cursed bug. The two factions are at odds, and Joseph has been taken prisoner by one of them. Currently, his life is not in any danger.”Upon hearing that, Tamara heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s relieving to hear.”Sebastian stared at her and said, “You can’t go on that island.”Tamara was taken aback. It was clear that he had heard her conversation with Margot. “But Joseph’s still on it! I can’t just leave him there.”Sebastian replied, “I’m not asking you to leave him. I can get other people to retrieve him, but you can’t go. Tammy, I’ll get my men to gather more information about the island in the me
Tamara returned with a glass of water, but Margot was nowhere near the rock she had left her by. The bodyguard from before hurried over to Tamara.“Young Mrs. Lynch, I’m sorry for being negligent. Miss Zimmerman told me she wanted to use the restroom, so I accompanied her. After going into the restroom, she didn’t come back out…” the bodyguard explained with a guilty look.Tamara tightened her grip around the glass. Her face tensed up. The cold sea breeze made her face prickle uncomfortably.A moment later, she said, “It’s alright.”The bodyguard turned and left.Tamara walked back to the rock, watching the crashing waves and the snow accumulating on the beach. This truly was a magical place.Her gaze gradually turned blurry.“Oh, Margot. Why do you have to be so foolish?”When Margot suddenly changed the topic and asked her for water, Tamara already had an inkling that her friend was trying to divert her attention. However, after Margot had turned her accusation into a joke,
Margot stared at those people with a helpless look on her face. She didn’t expect to be found out so quickly.She placed the box on the ground and raised both her hands up in a show of surrender.“I thought you wouldn’t come back.” A voice rang out. Then, a handsome man walked up to Margot and shot her a smile.Margot regarded him coldly. “Where’s Joseph?”Cedric looked at Margot’s beautiful eyes with amazement, then said, “You came all the way back here for a man? You’re such a foolish woman.”Margot remained silent and glared coldly at the man.Cedric waved for two men to grab Margot and tie her up.“Lock her up for now,” he instructed, then turned away to make a phone call. “Boss, we have the woman who stole the cursed bug.”A chuckle rang out. “Good. Bring her to me. I’d like to see who she is. It’s amazing that she managed to sneak into Lane’s residence and steal the cursed bug. Her thievery honestly helped me out a lot!”Happy laughter rang out from the other end of the
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
