Andrew snorted at Benjamin. “Are you trying to provoke me? You? Make fun of me? Do you want to save her? Do you think you have what it takes to save her? You’re in deep shit yourself.”Benjamin stared at Andrew coldly. He sneered, “Didn’t you doubt her identity? Since you despise her mother so much, why don’t you check if she’s really your daughter? If she is, you can still stop this madness. If you continue down this dark path, you will end up exactly like Elijah.”He continued, “You may not know who Elijah is, but the two of you are similar. He tried everything to kill the person who turned out to be his daughter. Isn’t that hilarious?”Benjamin told Andrew about Elijah.He and Margot were clinging to hope at this point. They were praying things would turn out for the better.That was why he told Andrew about Elijah.Margot spoke up as well, “She is my friend. You know her as Mrs. Lynch. She is actually Elijah’s daughter. But because of what Elijah did, she couldn’t bring herse
Margot suddenly realized she was being selfish.She was greedy in wanting all of Benjamin to herself. She never once stopped to think about the other personality’s feelings.She was even prepared to leave Benjamin if either one of his personalities wasn’t in love with her.How could she think like this?Margot grew guilty. She gave Benjamin an apologetic look. “I’m sorry, Benjamin.”Benjamin was confused. “What for?”Margot pursed her lips. She didn’t know what to say. But on second thought, if she didn’t come clean, this would haunt her for the rest of her life.Margot mustered up the courage and told Benjamin everything. “I’m sorry, Benjamin. Your other personality was deeply in love with me. He remembered everything we had done together. That was why I forgot to take your feelings into account. I was even thinking of leaving you if you didn’t love me. I am not an easy girl to deal with, huh?”Margot chuckled, “But I’m too selfish. Even if you don’t love me, at least the othe
It was the DNA report. It showed that Margot and Andrew weren’t related.Margot stared at the report in shock. She wasn’t Andrew’s daughter?She thought, “But wasn’t this how web novels usually turn out?” Andrew noticed the shock on Margot’s face. He sneered, “Seems like your calculations were wrong. You thought your mother was a good woman? Haha! She was a fucking whore! She definitely did not give birth to my child!”Margot pursed her lips and gave Benjamin a look. They were fucked.Benjamin was also not expecting things to turn out this way.But if Margot wasn’t Andrew’s child, why did she have the same surname as him?He remembered the director at the orphanage said that Margot’s name was attached to her when they found her at the orphanage’s doorstep.Because of this, they thought Margot’s father was named Zimmerman, and since Andrew had some history with Margot’s mother, it was only natural to think Margot was related to Andrew.But they were wrong.Andrew snorted at t
Thomas said, “Mommy, when will you and Daddy come home?”Caleb muttered, “I miss you, Mommy.”Melanie whined, “Mommy, Daddy, I miss you so much.”…The three children had sent Tamara some voice messages. Tamara felt her nose prick when she heard her children’s voices.She turned to Sebastian and saw him already staring at her.“Our children are ready for us,” Sebastian muttered lowly.Tamara nodded and composed herself. She replied to her children.It was midnight in Clacton. The children were probably asleep, so they wouldn’t be replying any time soon. Tamara put her phone away.She looked in the direction of the manor. The sun was setting. Evenings at Nammu Bay were long. The sun took a long time before it finally disappeared into the horizon. It was like the sun was struggling not to get consumed by the darkness.“I wonder how Margot and Benjamin are doing?” said Tamara worriedly.Sebastian glanced at the manor. He asked his men about their progress. His men had already d
Joseph furrowed his brows in disgust. He listened closely to the source of the voices before peeking from behind the cupboard.There were two men there, and they were cleaning up Eric’s body in irritation.Joseph climbed out the window and came back in using the door.“When will you be done?” Joseph asked as soon as he walked in.“Soon.” The men didn’t even lift their heads when they answered.Joseph walked over and passed the men some joints. “You sure have it bad. Look at his body. He stinks.”“That’s fucking true. We have killed many people but never once had to clean their bodies. This fucking sucks.”“Hey! Watch it! He was our chief!”“So? He’s fucking dead!”The two men argued among themselves. They lit their joints and glanced at the corpse before turning away again.“How about this? Take a break, and I’ll cover for you,” grinned Joseph.The two men paused. They looked at Joseph. One of them squinted at him. “I have never seen you around.”Joseph chuckled awkwardly,
The living room was quiet. Suddenly, a bodyguard rushed over, panicking. “Bad news! The chief’s body is gone!”“What?” Andrew’s eyes snapped open, and he sprang up. He glared at the bodyguard. “Repeat yourself!”The bodyguard paled. “The chief’s body is gone. When I went over, I saw the two men in charge of the body unconscious on the floor. As for the chief…”“Fuck!” Andrew hit the bodyguard with his staff.The bodyguard fell to his knees, not daring to look up.Andrew’s wrinkled face was shaking with anger. “Get out! Get the fuck out! Find him! If you don’t, then go fucking kill yourself!”The bodyguard nodded and ran out.Soon, all of the bodyguards left the room.Andrew must have gone mad. He shouldn’t have asked his men to leave his side.Joseph, who was hiding in the building, took this opportunity and ran inside.Joseph made himself known to the two remaining people in the living room.“When did you get in here?” Andrew widened his eyes at Joseph, but the latter ignor
Sebastian spoke up, “My men are already looking for them.”The Zimmerman manor was not a big place. It wouldn’t be hard to find two people.Margot and Benjamin were found within record time.When the couple saw Tamara and Sebastian, they grew excited.“Tammy!” Margot rushed toward Tamara and hugged her.Tamara giggled. “You’re fine now.”Margot nodded. She noticed Joseph was smiling up at her from the couch. “What happened to you?”Margot walked up to Joseph. She immediately noticed his injured leg. “You’re injured?”Margot widened her eyes. “Is it fatal? Have they sent for a doctor?”Joseph shrugged. “It’s nothing. Just a scratch.”Margot raised an eyebrow at Tamara.Tamara sighed and explained, “He got shot.”Margot sucked in a breath. “What?”She turned to Joseph. “You got shot? Here?”Margot pointed at his thigh.Joseph groaned. “It’s nothing serious. At least, it’s better than being blown to bits by a bomb.”Margot rolled her eyes.She couldn’t believe he was joki
Tamara and Sebastian were walking out when they heard Andrew’s words. They stopped and spun around.Margot had a bad feeling about this. She turned to Andrew. “What do you mean by that?”Andrew chuckled darkly at her. “Your mother betrayed me. I have to get my revenge on her. Too bad she died, so I can only get revenge on her daughter instead. You love that man, don’t you? What a coincidence. He is also the man my daughter loves. I will make sure he gets buried with her. He has to die!”Benjamin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. All the colors drained from his face.“Benjamin!” Margot widened her eyes and went to support him. “What’s wrong?”Tamara rushed over to check on his pulse. When she felt his pulse, her eyes flew wide open.“Margot…” Tamara was at a loss for words.Margot’s heart dropped. “What’s wrong with him?”Tamara didn’t know how to break the news to her.“Tell me, Tammy. What’s wrong with him?” Margot shook Tamara anxiously.“He…” Tamara began. But she saw
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
