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
Sebastian swept his dark gaze over Tamara before abruptly rising. “I’ve got to go. I need to attend to an urgent matter.”Kate chuckled, then said, “Seb, you’re a bit of a coward, aren’t you?”Sebastian did not seem to care. He pushed open the door and left in a hurry.Tamara took a deep breath, then got up and said, “I’m going to go too. Goodbye.”Kate waved at her, bidding her farewell.Once they left, Kate stared at the food on the table. She wrinkled her nose and mumbled, “What’s wrong with Sebastian? Why did he order so many things that I didn’t like? Doesn’t he know how to respect his elders? Gosh, he deserves a whooping.”…The man was already nowhere in sight when Tamara rushed out to catch Sebastian.“Tammy, over here!”At this moment, Margot’s voice rang out.Tamara turned to look and saw that Margot was already eating lunch.She walked over and sat opposite Margot.When Margot saw that Tamara still looked down, she asked hurriedly, “Babe, what’s wrong? Didn’t you
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
