Looking at Tamara, Sandy hesitated a little before saying, “You probably already had some idea of your mother’s relationship with Elijah. Ten years after your mother married Jacob, Elijah reappeared in Londsville. She could never get him out of her mind, so the two met. One thing led to another, and your mother got pregnant. Before she could tell Elijah about her pregnancy, Jacob had already discovered their affair. He threatened to make her have an abortion if she didn’t keep her pregnancy hidden from Elijah.” Tamara was listening intently. “Jacob actually kept the baby?”In other words, he kept her.“When I first heard about it, I was highly doubtful,” Sandy recounted, “I never expect Jacob to actually keep the baby. Perhaps, he did it out of his love for your mother and couldn’t bear to see her sad. Eventually, your mother went to bid farewell to Elijah, but unbeknownst to her, Jacob’s men tailed her. Jacob took advantage of the situation and captured Elijah, deliberately impl
She would not pick up a call from a stranger at that moment.However, as soon as she ended the call, the person called again.Tamara frowned and answered with annoyance, “Hello, who’s this?”“It’s me, Miss Moore.”A familiar voice came from the other end of the call instead.It was Anthony.Tamara was stunned. She pursed her lips and said nothing.Anthony’s breathing sounded a little heavy. After a while, he said, “Can you help me? I’m at 1999. Something’s happened to Helena.”Tamara became nervous when she heard that. “What happened to Helena?”Anthony said, “Miss Custry was hanging out with her friends at 1999, but she was set up. I’m occupied, and I can’t go over right now.”“I’ll head over there now.”Tamara immediately hung up the call as soon as she said that.A dejected look suddenly appeared on Anthony’s face, but it disappeared as quickly. More than ten men had surrounded him, and his gaze became sharp as he looked at them.After Tamara arrived at 1999 in a rush,
“Thank you, Miss Moore.”Tamara glanced at Anthony indifferently, then said to Helena, “Have a good rest. You’ll recover tomorrow.”“Mm-hmm. I got it. Thank you, Tamara.” Helena nodded.She blinked and looked at Anthony and Tamara. Then, she suddenly said, “Anthony, help me see Tamara off. I’m too weak to walk.”“Mm-hmm,” Anthony hummed with a nod, then followed Tamara out of the room.When Tamara got to the elevator landing, she sent a message to Sebastian, telling him that she would be returning soon.At that moment, the elevator door opened.Tamara entered, but when she turned around, she saw Anthony standing there, not moving.Tamara blinked and said, “Take good care of Helena.”Right at that moment, Anthony suddenly dropped to his knees in front of her.Tamara was stunned, but she said nothing.“Miss Moore, I know I was wrong.” With his eyes downcast, Anthony apologized to her sincerely.Tamara still said nothing.As the moments stretched on, Anthony’s anticipation tu
Tamara felt tired as she nestled in Sebastian’s arms. She could hear his strong heartbeat. Her mind, which was in a mess, gradually became at peace.Sebastian was right.She would not forgive Anthony.Anthony brought the pain onto himself. If he did not betray her, how could he be in pain?Tamara calmed down, so she did not continue thinking about this anymore. Previously, Anthony was an integral part of Tamara’s life that she could never imagine losing. However, since he had caused her pain, she had resolved to endure the anguish and cut him out of her life. Even if the process were excruciatingly painful, she would not care.…As usual, she went to visit Margot at the hospital.Every day, Margot would briefly wake up and stare expressionlessly at the ceiling before slowly closing her eyes again.When Tamara arrived, she happened to be looking blankly at the ceiling with her eyes widened.Tamara felt a little helpless. “I really don’t know what’s happened to you. It’s very
Tamara immediately reached out and pinched his waist. “What are you thinking about?”It did not feel painful for Sebastian. The strength she used just felt like a tickle to him. He wrapped his sturdy arms around her slender waist and said softly, “Have you thought it through? Eloping is not going to be any easier than having a wedding in Clacton.”Tamara pressed her face against his chest and said lazily, “This is just the idea I’m having now. I might change my mind when I wake up tomorrow.”Sebastian did not say anything. He just hugged her. However, he gradually became unsatisfied with just hugging her.He gently toyed with her delicate earlobe as he tenderly touched her face, his hand exuding an undeniable allure. As he did so, his gaze grew deeper and deeper.Tamara shuddered and quickly pushed him away. “What are you doing? Aren’t you working?”Sebastian’s breathing became heavy. “I knew you were coming, so I canceled my morning schedules.”Tamara was speechless.How could
While she happily paid with the card, Sebastian’s phone buzzed without stopping as he sat in the huge conference room.Jerome was sitting closest to Sebastian, and he was also the person who heard it most clearly. He couldn’t help but glance at Sebastian’s phone, which incessantly buzzed with incoming messages.Jerome was very curious.What exactly were those texts? The person kept sending one after another. Did he not feel tired?Jerome’s gaze immediately fell on Sebastian. Despite his usual dignified, cold, and arrogant attitude, Sebastian now sported a faint smile and occasionally glanced at his phone before refocusing on the presentation with rapt attention.After the conference ended, Sebastian remained at the head of the table without any intention of leaving. He grabbed his phone and glanced at the texts calmly. His dark gaze looked very doting.Then, he looked at Jerome. “How much is the limit to my card?”Jerome was stunned. He was very curious why Sebastian would ask s
Randy did not expect that he would actually embarrass himself so badly in front of the beautiful woman who had constantly been on his mind. He wanted to find somewhere to hide! “I-I was on a stroll,” Randy said awkwardly. He did not dare to look at Tamara at all.Tamara looked at him with a faint smile. “You were on a stroll, yet you ended up on top of my wall?”Randy was speechless.It was very awkward.Tamara glanced at the wall. “It’s better for you not to take a stroll here, Mr. Wecker. Your life could easily be endangered. There’s electricity running in my villa’s walls. It’s fortunate for you that I’m the one who saw you. If somebody else from my family saw you and immediately turned on the power, I’m afraid you wouldn’t even be standing here now.”Randy was speechless.Hold on for a moment!Randy was stunned as he looked at Tamara. “You remember me?”Tamara was indifferent. “There aren’t that many families living in this neighborhood. Would it be that difficult to reme
Caleb did not expect Sebastian to ask him that. He blinked in confusion, then said, “I met a lady, and she told me you and Mommy would never be married, and I will also become an orphan.”As soon as Sebastian heard that, he emanated an icy aura that permeated his entire being, suffusing the air with a palpable sense of pressure.However, he was only icy for a short moment. He calmed down very quickly. Then, he continued to ask, “Anything else?”Caleb recalled carefully, then said, “I ignored her, but she kept talking to me. She even said that Thomas and Melly would be sold, so I scolded her.”Sebastian curled his lips. “Do you still remember who she looks like?”“I do.” Caleb nodded.“Draw it.”Sebastian ordered someone to bring Caleb’s sketch pad to him.With a pencil in his hand, Caleb started sketching from his memory.He was sketching very seriously while Sebastian watched next to him. Slowly, the face of a woman appeared on the paper.Sebastian’s brows were tightly knitt
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
