James did not get angry when he noticed the derision in Tamara’s eyes. He still held the agreement out to her firmly.Tamara took the document and skimmed through it. All the terms stated in the contract involved James’ request to have them married.The contract stated in the back that as long as she agreed to all of his requests, James would give her the medicine to slow the poison down.“James Gladwell, you’re shameless.”Tamara tightened her grip on the contract, almost scrunching it.James merely smiled. “As long as I get to own you in the end, I would do anything.”Tamara sneered coldly, then signed the contract.She hated James to her core and even hated herself. After all that she had been through and achieved, she had ended up succumbing to another person’s will once more.Tamara pursed her lips and handed the document back to James.After carefully reviewing the papers, he let out a satisfied smile and handed the bottle of medicine to Tamara.Tamara grabbed the bottl
Tamara was taken aback. Then, she said, “Jordan, nothing will happen to you. I’ll get the antidote eventually…”Jordan said, “I won’t let you make a deal with the devil! You can’t sacrifice your happiness like this.”Tamara had repressed her emotions. However, upon hearing that, her nose suddenly prickled, and tears began to stream down her face uncontrollably.“Jordan, you don’t need to worry about me. I won’t let myself be bullied into submission. All that will happen is I won’t be able to be with Sebastian anymore, but that’s alright. We still have three kids. Just seeing them is satisfying enough,” Tamara said, then smiled and continued, “Jordan, I’ll save all of you, don’t worry. Please don’t disappoint a woman who looks at you with stars in her eyes.”Jordan opened his mouth, but no words came out.After wiping her tears, Tamara said, “Alright, rest up. I’m going to head home now.”Without waiting for Jordan’s reply, she hurried out of the ward.She was worried that she wo
Tamara got up. “If that is all, I will head out now.”James said, “What about eating dinner with me?”Tamara’s hands clenched into tight fists at her sides. She turned around and sat back on the chair.James’ grin grew wider when he saw that Tamara hadn’t refused outright.However, it was still a little early for dinner, so they still had some time to kill.The ward suddenly fell silent.James was pretty exhausted. After he got captured, he was tortured and beaten for information. His captors wanted him to give them more information on the antidote.He kept his mouth shut.Even though every bone in his body had been broken and no part of his body had been left unabused, he persisted in remaining silent even as pain engulfed him.He was certain that Tamara would agree to his terms eventually.When he saw that she had returned to see him a second time, he instantly knew that he had won.The sunlight at the moment was perfect. It illuminated Tamara’s beautiful figure and made h
Dead?Tamara was taken aback.It was explosive information.Who knew that her mother had a fiancé?And it turned out that the man was one of the main instigators who caused her mother such misery!What was even more shocking was that the man had died!Things were so insanely confusing!Tamara had the impression that a hazy veil obscured her mother’s past. She couldn’t reach for the veil no matter how hard she tried. She could make out blurry, vague figures but nothing distinct.James smiled faintly. “His name was Mason Custry. He was Hugo’s younger brother. In the past, Mason used to be Alex’s fiancé, and Hugo was your Aunt Cheryl’s fiancé as well.”Tamara pursed her lips. She stared at him coldly with clear eyes. “How do you know so much?”James replied calmly, “I got all this information by accident. I’m naturally curious, so I dug deeper and deeper to find information to satiate my curiosity. I didn’t think I’d get any use out of this information, to be honest.”Tamara re
Tamara’s figure stilled. She turned to look at James, then shot him a mocking smile. “I don’t give a fuck about what makes you upset or not.”With that, she pushed open the door and walked out.James’ expression turned sullen all of a sudden. He watched as Tamara walked away from the ward with Elijah with a dark look in his eyes.He shut his eyes suddenly and forced himself not to do anything too rash to jeopardize himself.…In the corridor around the corner.Tamara looked at Elijah coldly. “What are you here for?”If Tamara could choose, she would rather never lay eyes on both of these men ever again. She hated them!Elijah’s wrinkled face filled with worry. “I left pretty quickly that day. I didn’t know about what had happened until today. Have you managed to find anything to help?”Tamara shook her head coldly. “No.”Elijah continued, “I have a team of medical practitioners working for me. You can send me your family’s blood samples. I’ll bring them to my team so they can
Tamara was rendered speechless.She had the sudden urge to wipe out the whole world.Tamara’s grip tightened on her phone. The whites of her knuckles looked prominent, and she pursed her lips even tighter. A long while later, she tapped into Sebastian’s profile once more to open their chat history.The most recent message was from her to him, in which she had sent him a heart sticker. She was seething with rage.She exited the chat and started another chat with Margot.Tamara: “Margot, how can I find out if someone has blocked me?”Margot: “Oh, that’s easy! Try to connect with him through Messenger. His phone number should be linked to his Facebook account so that his full name is displayed. You won’t be able to see his name if he has blocked you.”Tamara cocked an eyebrow. She didn’t know about this trick.After thanking Margot, she reopened her chat with Sebastian.After she tapped on his Messenger account, she saw that Sebastian’s full name was clearly displayed.This caus
With that, Margot turned toward Tamara. “Call me if anything crops up.”Tamara nodded. “Alright. You should leave now.”Margot nodded.After the door closed behind her, Tamara turned to look at James and saw that the man was smiling sinisterly.She tensed up right away. “You know that’s just how Margot is. It’s her personality.”James said coldly, “Why must I take shit from her?”Tamara furrowed her brows. “What do you want to do to her?”He replied, “Well, Margot upset me. It’s only natural that I’d want to do something to make me feel better.”Tamara’s hands clenched into tight fists on both sides. “James Gladwell, don’t you dare overstep!”When James saw that Tamara was clearly angry at him yet had put in an effort to rein herself in, the sinister expression on his face disappeared instantly. “Alright, don’t get mad at me. I’ll just let it go then.”Tamara nearly threw up.However, as long as James did not do anything to hurt Margot, she was willing to endure it.James s
Tamara was filled with disappointment.Why did he leave?Didn’t he see her?Tamara pursed her lips, then walked into the café.Meanwhile, in the Rolls-Royce Phantom.Sebastian’s handsome and charming face displayed no trace of warmth. His deep eyes were filled with frost, transforming the car’s atmosphere into an ice box.Jerome sat in the passenger seat. With a tense expression, he said, “President Lynch, you have a meeting coming up. Are you…”“Let’s get to the meeting, then,” Sebastian said coldly, without any hint of warmth.Jerome nodded. “Alright.”Then, he peeked at Sebastian’s impassive face through the rearview mirror. He couldn’t help but say, “President Lynch, I think Young Mrs. Lynch saw you.”“I’m not blind.”Jerome was rendered speechless.He felt cold all of a sudden.If Sebastian knew that Tamara had seen him, why did he leave?Why didn’t they speak to each other?Judging by the desolate look on Tamara’s face, it was clear that she had been upset.Jerome
