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
“Aren’t we engaged, Tamara?” James held Tamara’s face gently. He was staring at her in adoration. However, his hand slid down, and he suddenly started choking her.Tamara yelped.“Why are you crying, Tamara?” The gentleness on James’ face disappeared without a trace. “Is it because you were thinking of Sebastian when you put on the ring? I can’t believe you are still thinking about him even now. Do you have a death wish?”A cruel glint appeared in James' eyes as he tightened his grip on Tamara, reflecting his rage that Tamara was not thinking of him.Tamara's face contorted in agony as she struggled to break free from him. She stumbled backward after escaping, clutching her throat and coughing.James immediately apologized when he saw her pain. “I’m sorry, Tamara. I didn’t mean it. I just love you too much. I can’t bear seeing you think of another man. I’m sorry…”Tamara widened her eyes at him. She felt like she was staring at a monster. She swallowed hard and said, “I wore your
George was shocked. “But why?”Tamara shook her head. “I don’t know.”She told George about Old Mrs. Moore’s condition. George pondered over it for a moment. “Your grandma is getting old. She also misses your mother a lot. Due to the striking resemblance between you and your mother, it is understandable that she may mistakenly identify you as your mother.”Tamara sobbed but said nothing.Was this really normal?But why did she have a bad feeling about this?James chose this time to speak up. “Go back with me, Tamara.”Tamara turned to him. “I want to wait for my grandma’s results first.”James furrowed his brows. “Tamara.”He didn’t like Tamara’s request.Tamara sucked in a deep breath before turning to George. “Please watch over my grandma, Master. If anything happens to her, you must inform me straight away.”“Will do,” nodded George.With that, Tamara helped James toward the lift.George narrowed his eyes dangerously at James’ retreating figure.What a cruel man.…A
The antidote could soon be made since they have found the necessary ingredients. Tamara would finally be free of James’ threats and demands!Although Tamara’s heart was pounding with excitement, her face did not betray her emotions.Her phone buzzed again.After she read the message, Tamara paled.The text read, “Mr. Lynch has been trapped by the Lane family. Both the Zimmerman family and the Lane family had joined hands. Miss Zimmerman and Mr. Inkling are caught too!”No wonder there was no news from them for the past week.They were trapped!The Zimmerman family and the Lane family had joined hands!But why?Weren’t they always at odds with each other?Anxiety coursed through Tamara. She closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down.She shakily replied, “How’s the situation over there?”Her men replied, “The Lane family is too afraid to lay a hand on Mr. Lynch. But they also refused to let him go. Mr. Lynch’s men were all killed off.”Tamara sucked in a deep breath. “
Vanessa was tense the entire time. The clerk stood by the side while Tamara silently helped Vanessa into the wedding dress. After a while, the clerk seemed to have received something on her Bluetooth earphone and excused herself.Vanessa and Tamara were the only two left in the dressing room.The huge mirror inside reflected the two women’s emotions clearly.“You look good in this dress, Vanessa.” Tamara gave Vanessa a once-over and exclaimed.Vanessa gritted her teeth. “What are you plotting?”Tamara smirked, “Can’t you see? I’m helping you out.”Vanessa muttered indifferently, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Tamara went to zip up the back of the dress. She whispered into Vanessa’s ears, “You like James. I’m just giving you the push you needed.”Panic flashed through Vanessa’s eyes, and she felt like Tamara had just revealed her deepest darkest secret to the world. “Miss Moore, Mr. Gladwell brought you here so that YOU can try on the dress. Yet you’re putting me in t
