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
Tamara had begun to suspect James after he revealed his true, evil colors. Perhaps the man had instigated Jessica’s death.Everything he did later on only strengthened her suspicions. There was no way James could get out of this mess now that Helena had discovered crucial evidence.When James noticed the derision in her eyes, he raised an eyebrow. “What is it?”“Nothing.”Tamara looked away and continued to feed him. “I’m full,” James said. His expression turned cold. Tamara’s impassive attitude gave him a bad feeling.She put down the spoon and called someone to clean the table.“Aren’t you going to eat?” James asked her.“I’m not hungry,” Tamara said coldly, then sat on the couch and started playing with her phone, ignoring him.James did not get angry. He merely sat there and scanned her with his eyes from time to time. Tamara was beautiful, with delicate features. She was a quiet, elegant beauty that was easy on the eyes. His admiration for her grew the longer he stared
Tamara felt as if she were immersed in ice. She looked up at James in shock. James was still smiling gently at her. The man looked as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.However, there was no way James hadn’t been involved!“It was you! You plotted against Helena, didn’t you?” Tamara’s expression grew tense. She glared coldly at James.James looked confused and answered, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”He looked clueless.Tamara shifted her gaze away from him. She clenched her hands into tight fists, then spun on her heel and walked out.“Tamara, where do you think you’re going?”James asked while staring at Tamara’s slender back straighten.Tamara did her best to maintain her composure. Without trembling, she said, “I’m going to visit Helena!”She was certain that James had been responsible for Helena’s accident!James hadn’t even known who Tamara had been on the phone with. He had managed to make an accurate guess and was even able to plan out
Tamara’s limbs grew cold as she watched Helena get pushed into the ICU.Helena had been in a serious car accident. It was not certain whether she would get better or not. By incapacitating Helena, it meant that James had successfully dealt with one of his issues.How despicable!James was such an evil man!Tamara stood outside the ICU for a long time. She only turned away slowly upon feeling her body stiffen up. She looked over and saw Vanessa standing behind her with an impassive expression on her face.Her sudden appearance scared Tamara. She furrowed her brows and said, “What are you doing here?”Vanessa said, “It’s pretty late. You should head back to the ward and rest up.”Tamara pursed her lips. “I’m not going to get any rest in his ward. I want to go home.”With that, she stormed toward the elevators.However, Vanessa managed to stop her. “Miss Moore, Mr. Gladwell is hoping that you’ll spend the night with him in his ward.”Tamara’s expression darkened. Without saying
Tamara said expressionlessly, “None of your business.”James was rendered speechless.Vanessa walked over right away and went to pick up a bottle, planning to open it.“Don’t touch that!”Tamara stopped her, then snatched the bottle back. She glared at Vanessa with displeasure. “Did no one tell you that touching other people’s things is rude? Didn’t your parents teach you any manners?”Vanessa’s expression darkened. “You brought these things into Mr. Gladwell’s room out of the blue. I have the right to be suspicious of your intentions and inspect them.”Tamara looked at her with amusement. “What if I said no?”Vanessa looked like she was about to bust a vein. “Miss Moore, don’t force my hand!”Tamara chortled, then placed the bottle back onto the table. She shot Vanessa a provocative look and said, “Alright, then. Do what you want.”Vanessa’s hands clenched into tight fists on both sides. Her eyes appeared to be filled with fire, as if she was about to challenge Tamara to a fi
Tamara chortled.Then, the ward was shrouded in silence. Tamara was focused on tinkering with her items, so she did not spare James a second look.Meanwhile, James watched her work with a happy gleam in his eyes. His smile grew wider with time.He looked like a colossal pervert.When noon came, Tamara began packing up her things. Then, she said, “I’m going out to eat.”James replied, “Aren’t you going to have lunch with me?”Tamara regarded him impassively. A moment later, she suddenly said, “If you don’t mind me throwing up while I eat, sure. I can have lunch with you.”James was rendered speechless.His expression darkened. “Tamara, are you trying to test my patience?”Tamara laughed. “Of course not. I was just stating facts, after all. So, I think it’s best if I leave for now.”With that, she pulled open the ward’s door and walked out.Not a moment later, Vanessa walked over. She eyed the bag on the sofa with a frown, then said, “Mr. Gladwell, should we really leave her t
“You’re so despicable! I’m going to call the police!” The restaurant’s manager did not expect these women to be so shameless! Fuming with anger, she moved to get her phone.Margot was quick to intercept. She pulled the manager toward some chairs and sat her down. “Come on, don’t get so worked up. You were just doing your job. You’re worried that the higher-ups will have your head, right? Don’t worry. My friend is President Custry’s girlfriend. They even have children together, so there’s no way you’ll get into any trouble for this.”The restaurant’s manager was taken aback. “How did you know…”“You wanted to ask how I knew you were just following orders, right?” Margot smiled. “It’s easy enough. You’re running a restaurant, not a top-secret hideout. Every customer that comes in should be served. No one would chase away their customers so hastily. That’s how I knew you must have been following someone else’s instructions.”The manager still appeared uneasy. “But…”“None of that. Ju
