“Okay,” nodded Tamara. She sent Margot and Benjamin off.Her heart felt heavy, and Tamara was finding it hard to breathe.Tamara went to check up on her children before leaving the hospital.Tamara went straight to the study room when she got home.She turned on the laptop and tried to hack into James’ account, but James was good at securing his account. Tamara couldn’t bypass his account’s security.Tamara’s brows knitted tightly together. Who was the one who had built the firewall to James’ account?Such mastery of skills was hard to come by.But she quickly changed her train of thought. Tamara knew a little about Nammu Bay.Although Nammu Bay wasn’t as advanced as the rest of the world, they still had access to the internet.Nimble fingers danced across the keyboard. Soon, a satellite picture of Nammu Bay appeared on the screen. The corners of Tamara’s lips lifted, but her smile never reached her eyes.Tamara hacked into the island’s system. Layer after layer of the firewa
Tamara got found.Tamara’s brows knitted tightly together. Still, this was nothing. All Tamara needed to do was exit the system and clean her tracks.Tamara swiftly exited the system. She scanned through the information she found before locking them behind a secured firewall. Once all was said and done, Tamara returned to her room.At the same time, Nammu Bay.Eric was pissed as he watched his men rush to patch up the system’s loopholes. His face twisted with anger, making his scarred face even scarier.“Fuck! Give me a name! Who the fuck broke through our security system! Find them and bring them to me! I want them dead! Fucking dead!” roared Eric.“Boss, we’re trying to track the person down, but they’re good at wiping their tracks. They’re professionals!” One of the men piped up.Eric’s face fell. “So you can’t find them?”“No…no sir…” stuttered his men.“You’re all trash!” Eric stomped out of the room. He almost bumped into Andrew on his way out.Andrew narrowed his eyes
Tamara widened her eyes at Kate. “You…”Ma’am?This woman was Master’s wife?Why didn’t she know about this?Kate noticed Tamara’s shocked expression. A faint smile finally broke out. “I’ve been married to your master for five years, but we’ve kept it low-key. Of course, Seb knows about this.”Tamara immediately went up to Kate. “Are you really Master’s wife?”Tamara greatly amused Kate. “I have no reason to lie to you. But if you really need the proof, I don’t mind showing you our marriage certificate.”Tamara shook her head. “There’s no need. I was just shocked. I never once doubted your words. But the two of you sure are good at keeping your relationship a secret.”Five years…Tamara first met George three years ago. Throughout their time together, he never did anything but teach her about medicine, and after the lesson was complete, he would simply disappear.Tamara finally understood George’s disappearance. He must have gone home to accompany his wife!Tamara took a sea
Kate scoffed, “George has a holier-than-thou mindset. Don’t tell me you have never noticed that?”Tamara pursed her lips. There must have been a misunderstanding between Kate and George, or there wouldn’t be such weird tension between them.“Since you don’t believe me, Ma’am, I’ll call Master now.” Tamara noticed her words had fallen on deaf ears, so she pulled out her phone.Kate continued to smoke her cigarette as she watched Tamara. The latter took out her phone and made a call.The call connected.“What’s wrong, Tammy?” came George’s gentle voice. Tamara glanced at Kate before answering, “Please don’t go to Nammu Bay, Master. Tell me what you’re looking for. I’ll send someone in your stead.”George was surprised. “The ingredient is hard to find. Your men wouldn’t be able to find them without medical knowledge.”Tamara hurried to say, “There must be a photo of them somewhere, right? Nammu Bay is a mess right now. It’d be easier if my men went instead. You should stay here t
The next morning.Tamara went to the hospital and headed straight for the lab. George handed her a photo of the missing ingredient.Tamara glanced at it. “I’ll send someone after it now.”Sebastian’s men weren’t the only ones who went to Nammu Bay. Some of the Moore family’s men had also tagged along.George said sternly, “This herb looks similar to another type of herb. Your men must be very careful in identifying them.”“Got it,” nodded Tamara.She sent the photo to her men before leaving for James’ ward.Her main role right now was to keep watch over James. Even if George wasn’t leaving for the island, Tamara was scared James would find out about George’s research.Who knew James was in cahoots with Adrian?Adrian was also the one who was hell-bent on killing Margot.Tamara stopped in front of the dreaded ward. She recollected herself and put on an emotionless mask.James was eating his breakfast. When he saw her, a gentle smile immediately slid across his face. “Have you
Tamara’s body went rigid. She shut her eyes and gritted her teeth. She could no longer push down the hatred she felt for James.The hands by her side clenched and unclenched. She repeated the action a few times before she managed to get her emotions in check.Tamara turned around and stared blankly at James. “What do you want, James?”The corners of James’ lips curled into a smile. “I want to get married to you, but I’m still recovering. Fret not! I’ve already prepared a few wedding plans. Have a look at them!”James took a file from the cabinet and handed it to Tamara.Tamara pursed her lips and walked over. She took the file from him and flipped through it, noting that the pages were littered with photos from various weddings.Tamara skimmed through it and randomly pointed at one. “This one.”James glanced at it and nodded. “This one? Okay! It looks romantic. We’ll plan our wedding according to your liking.”Tamara kept her silence.There wasn’t a single wedding plan she lik
James spied on Margot!Since he knew Benjamin and Margot were going to Nammu Bay, would he bring harm to them?“James…” started Tamara, but she was at a loss for words.James chuckled, “I have no intention of hurting them, Tamara. Even if I know they’re going to get the antidote. But do you think it will be easy to find? Do you think I will let you succeed?”Tamara pursed her lips and stared at James coldly.James continued, “My men have already destroyed the antidotes. If you really want them, you have to obey me.”Tamara tightened her hold around her equipment.She wanted to kill him with it.No! She couldn’t!Tamara shut her eyes. “Margot has a bone to pick with the Lane family. I suggest you stay out of it.”“I won’t intervene,” grinned James. “After all, not everyone has the guts to kill another human being.”Tamara snorted but said nothing.She thought to herself, “You’re one to talk.”James noticed the disdain in her eyes, but he didn’t care about it. No matter how
“What happened to my grandma?” Tamara took her hand back and rushed over to the nurse.The nurse muttered, “It’s better if you have a look at her yourself.”Tamara wasted no time running inside.James stood rooted in his spot with the ring still in his hand. He was so close to putting the ring on her. Just his luck! The nurse had to choose this time to interrupt him.James’ face darkened. No matter how warm or bright the sun was, it couldn’t melt away the cold aura he was emitting.James’ fingers curled around the ring. A cruel glint shone in his eyes.…Tamara ran back to the ICU. She immediately saw George standing outside, frowning at the person inside.“What happened to my grandma, Master?” asked Tamara anxiously.George sighed, “She’s not doing well. Aside from her old age, the poison had been in her for too long. Her life might be in danger if we don’t get the antidote now.”Tamara stumbled backward, and her face paled.George immediately steadied her. “Are you okay, T
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
