Sandy shut her eyes and composed herself. “Tamara, you…”Tamara stood up suddenly. “Let’s end the conversation here. I won’t sign the agreement.”With that, Tamara headed upstairs to look for Sebastian.Sandy was relieved by Tamara’s choice.She had to use every trick in the book just to keep Tamara from signing the agreement.Although she said Sebastian didn’t have the right to transfer his shares, the truth was, if Sebastian insisted on his decision, not even a board meeting could change his mind.Sandy was fucking terrified that Tamara decided to sign the agreement. If she did, the Custry family would be doomed.Meanwhile, upstairs.The door to the study room was tightly shut.When Tamara stepped closer, she could hear some muffled yelling coming from within.“Sebastian! Have you ever thought about me? About the rest of our family? Are you really planning to throw away the Custry family’s legacy for some girl? What the fuck were you thinking?” Hugo was pissed.Hugo was pr
Sebastian snaked an arm around Tamara’s waist. The couple went downstairs together. Sebastian ignored Tamara’s grin and turned his attention to the share transfer agreement on the table before picking it up.Sandy grew nervous at that.Tamara extended her hand toward him. “Give it to me.”Sebastian obediently handed it over to her.Sandy gritted her teeth. “You…”Tamara tore up the agreement without hesitation the very next second.Tamara threw the torn-up papers into the trash can. She smiled up at Sebastian. “I wasn’t lying when I said you’re the only one I need.”Sebastian hummed. He did not bother hiding the affectionate gaze he was giving her.Sandy breathed a sigh of relief at how the situation had turned out. Her rigid body finally relaxed.She didn’t want to imagine what would happen if Tamara insisted on signing the agreement.Custry Corporation would belong to the Moore family, and then the Moore family would become Clacton’s wealthiest family.Sandy wanted to make
Sebastian observed Tamara’s stern look and offered a faint smile. “It was nothing. I was just using that as an example.”Tamara gave Sebastian a look. “No. You did get in a car crash. Hurry up and spit it out! Or would you prefer if I look into this myself?”Tamara had a determined look on her face. She wanted to get to the bottom of this.Sebastian sighed, “It’s all in the past. Look! Aren’t we doing fine now?”Tamara pursed her lips. She suddenly had a bold thought. “You got up and left without warning four years ago. Was it because of the car accident?”“Maybe,” shrugged Sebastian.If it weren’t for the accident, Sebastian would have gone to save Tamara himself. Sandy wouldn’t have a chance to come between the couple.But it was all in the past now. There was no use in dwelling on what-ifs.Tamara’s eyes glossed over. “You stupid dumbasss! How could you keep me in the dark about this?”Sebastian caressed her cheeks and muttered lowly, “I have to admit, I didn’t have what it
“Hello? Camilla? What’s up?” asked Tamara in a gentle tone.Camilla sounded as indifferent as always. “We found the cure, Miss Moore. Can you come over now?”Tamara jumped with joy at the news. “Really? I’ll head over now!”“See you,” muttered Camilla.After ending the call, Tamara turned to Sebastian happily. “Let’s go to Jay’s laboratory.”Sebastian nodded and drove off again.At the research institute.Margot had rushed over when she heard about the cure. When the couple arrived, Austin was still talking to her.Tamara entered the place and immediately went to Jayden. “I heard you’ve found the cure, Jay.”“I did,” hummed Jayden. He continued, “Let’s go to the hospital later. We need to give Benjamin a full body checkup to make sure he’s doing alright before using the cure on him.”Margot came over and gave Jayden an appreciative look. “Thank you, Jay.”Jayden smiled warmly. “You’re most welcome. Since you’re Tammy’s friend, you’re my sister too.”Margot’s eyes watered.
When Camilla arrived at the lab, she noticed the door leading to Kayla’s ward was wide open. Camilla went rigid and immediately ran inside. As she had suspected, Kayla managed to break free of her restraints and vanished!Camilla turned to the other workers. “Have any of you seen Kayla?”“No.”“I was in the toilet.”“Nope.”A chorus of denial sounded.Camilla furrowed her brows. She hurried to call up Jayden. “Mr. Moore! Kayla is gone!”At the hospital.Jayden informed Tamara and Margot of Kayla’s escape. The two ladies turned as white as sheets.There was no denying it. Kayla was the reason why Benjamin was suddenly experiencing multiple organ failures!“Calm down, Margot. I’m sure the doctors will do everything in their power to save Benjamin. He’s going to be fine.” Tamara noticed Margot’s pale face and immediately comforted her.Margot’s hands curled into fists. “Shit! Who the fuck help Kayla escape?”Tamara turned to Sebastian and whispered, “Can you look into this? Pl
The doctor had a grim look on their face. “We can only hope for the best.”Margot stumbled back. She shut her eyes tightly and muttered, “I understand. Thank you, doctor.”The doctor left the trio.Benjamin was brought out of the operating room after. He looked pale and was still unconscious.Margot stared at him and said suddenly. “How long are you planning to worry me, Benjamin? What am I supposed to do if you die?”Tamara immediately held Margot’s arm. “It will be fine, Margot. Don’t worry. We already have the cure. Now, all we need to do is wait for his condition to stabilize and use the cure. He’s going to be fine.”Margot forced a smile. “How could I not worry about him, Tammy?”Benjamin was taken to the intensive care unit. He needed to be kept under close surveillance for the next 24 hours. The three stood in front of the door, watching it close slowly in front of them.Tears rolled down Margot’s cheeks.Tamara felt sorry for her but didn’t know what to say to cheer up
Tamara stared at the ring. She mumbled softly, “I can see why they’re friends.”“What?” Her words confused Margot. “What are you talking about?”Tamara put the box on the table and grabbed a pillow instead. “I said, I can see why they’re friends. One doesn’t want to wake up, and the other doesn’t want to propose.”Margot blinked. Her mind finally connected the dots, and she burst out laughing. “Why are we so unlucky? We met two weirdos.”Tamara was relieved to see Margot laughing like the good old days. “You’re right. They’re both unreliable. Benjamin is worse, though. How could he keep this a secret from you?”Margot nodded. “Right? What was he thinking? Why did he choose to suffer silently and make me hate him? Does he think he’s in some kind of sappy love story?”Tamara nodded along. “You’re right! That asshole!”The two ladies kept criticizing their men. After some time, Margot sighed, “Thank you, Tammy.”Tamara rolled her eyes at her. “Stop thanking me, or I will send you
George, who looked to be in his thirties, was enjoying a cup of tea. He had a regal air around him. He looked gentle and was smiling softly at Tamara.“Come closer.” George waved Tamara over.Tamara walked over and sat opposite him. She put out her hand and allowed him to check her pulse.George took careful note of Tamara’s pulse. He hummed, “Not bad. It appeared that all of the poison within you had been expelled.”Tamara smiled. Part of the poison was transferred to Caleb when she gave birth. That was why she had regained her ability to speak. What she didn’t realize was that there was still some poison in her.George found out about it and started treating her. He gave her some medicine and helped get rid of the remaining poison inside Tamara.“Let me give you an introduction, Master. This is my friend, Margot.” Tamara waved Margot over and introduced her to George.Margot immediately greeted, “Hello, Master.”George smiled lightly. “I’m not your master. You don’t have to c
