Tamara stared at the folder in Elijah’s hand blankly.Elijah forced a smile on his wrinkled face. “Tammy, I know I have done many unforgivable things to you. Still, I hope you will accept this.”Tamara’s face was void of any emotions. Under her cold glance, Elijah felt himself trembling uncontrollably.Elijah had been at the top of Clacton’s social ladder for many years. Everyone who came across him had to show their respect. Yet now, he was in this pitiful predicament.It was all because of his despicable past actions.He had plotted against his own daughter and even almost killed her and her children.Elijah was remorseful. He knew he didn’t deserve Tamara’s forgiveness. All he wished was for her to accept his wedding gift.As he was about to give up, Tamara suddenly muttered, “I have a question.”Elijah’s eyes lit up. “What is it? I will answer you as best as I can.”“Have you ever hesitated when you decided to plot against my mother with them?” Tamara was privy to the even
Jonathan narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean, Tammy? Do you plan on staying here until the wedding? No, we can’t allow that. You have to come home with me. You’re going to marry into the Custry family soon. We have to spend whatever little time remaining together.”Tamara gave him a blank look. “Uncle Jon, it’s not like I’ll be leaving for good. I’ll still be in Clacton after the wedding.”Jonathan huffed stubbornly, “I won’t allow it.”He then turned to his two sons. “Go and look for the kids. I’ll be going home with Tammy first.”Judging from how nervous Jonathan looked, one might think this was their last chance at leaving.Tamara couldn’t help but giggle at the sight. “Alright, I’ll go home with you. Let me just call Sebastian first.”“No.” Jonathan looked on edge. “If you call him, he might not let you go.”Tamara sighed, “You look like you want to call off the wedding, Uncle Jon.”“Of course not!” yelled Jonathan. “I can’t wait for the wedding.”“Then why won’t you let
Tamara put the folder away. She didn’t want to look inside, but she felt it must be important if Elijah thought of using it to earn her forgiveness.Jayden and Joseph were sitting on the side. They shared a look but said nothing.After Tamara put the folder away, she came back downstairs. Her gaze landed on Jayden, and she suddenly thought of Camilla. “Jay, how’s your relationship with Camilla going?”Jayden shrugged indifferently. “There’s nothing between us.”Tamara widened her eyes slightly. “What? I thought you liked her.”Jayden had on his usual warm smile. “Tammy, your wedding is the most important thing right now. Everything else can wait.”Tamara fell silent.Jayden was just asking her to mind her business in a roundabout way.“Fine. I’ll leave you to it.” Tamara pouted childishly.The dynamics between Jayden and Camilla were already intricate from the onset, but with Simon in the picture, things became even more convoluted.Tamara was eager to see what the stubborn J
It was such a disgusting sight. …Sebastian left the Moore manor after dinner. Outside, Tamara clung to his hand.“What’s wrong? Miss me already?” Sebastian smirked and stared longingly at Tamara.Tamara pouted. “Give me a kiss.”Sebastian took a deep breath and leaned closer, gently capturing Tamara’s lips with his own.Sebastian bit Tamara’s lips before pulling back. “I’ll come over in a few days and take you to try on some wedding dresses.”“Okay,” agreed Tamara as she nodded. Sebastian turned and left. Tamara watched as his car disappeared from sight before reluctantly returning inside.However, she found herself standing face to face with a grinning Joseph once she opened the door.Tamara immediately grabbed him by his hair.“Ouch! Hey! Stop! I’m sorry…” Joseph immediately cried for mercy.Tamara retracted her claws and went to the couch. “I hope all of you will go easy on him during our wedding.”She was openly threatening him.Joseph narrowed his eyes. “You’re st
The wedding was held at the most luxurious ballroom in Clacton. The red carpet itself started from miles away.The stand in front of the hall was also hard to miss.The Moore manor was buzzing with excitement.Old Mrs. Moore was wearing her best dress and had put her snow-white hair up in a bun. She was smiling from ear to ear.Jonathan was dressed in a sharp black suit, while his wife Cheryl wore a stunning red dress. Despite being in her fifties, Cheryl looked radiant and dazzling in her outfit.The four Moore brothers were also clad in black suits. All of them stood tall and proud and looked like dashing knights.Inside the bedroom.Tamara was already in her wedding makeup. A team of internationally renowned makeup artists surrounded her and busied themselves with their artwork. Once they spread out, Helena and Camilla were amazed by how good Tamara looked.Tamara was already beautiful, even without any makeup on. But right now, she looked as stunning as a goddess!Her long
Joseph did not stop them. After all, they all knew the groomsmen were there to aid the groom.The entire Moore family looked on in anticipation.Henry swiftly made his way over to the boxes. He stuck his hand into the first one and cringed, but he quickly recovered and pulled his hand out. His entire hand was covered in wasabi!It was disgusting!“You have to eat whatever you pulled out. Since you dipped your hand in it, you should lick it clean!” egged Joseph from the side.Henry’s face fell. He suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. He spun around and saw his brother, Jeremiah, giving him a pitied look.“Hurry up and eat it. You still have three more boxes to go through.” Jeremiah gave Henry a sad look.Henry gritted his teeth as he thought to himself, “That jerk!”But this was for the greater good. Sebastian’s happiness depended on it. He had to do it.Henry shut his eyes and started licking the wasabi off his hand. He promptly made his way to the next box once he was done.
Jordan was in charge of the second challenge.He led them to the center of the courtyard. A few logs of different heights were purposefully set up vertically off the ground. A red ribbon was tied to the highest point of the tallest log.“You’ll pass this challenge if you can get the red ribbon,” sneered Jordan.Sebastian cocked his brow at Simon and Jeremiah. Jeremiah coughed lightly, “I’ll do it.”Sebastian nodded and said, “Go ahead.”Jordan muttered indifferently, “There will be no safety equipment around. Stay safe.”Jeremiah fought the urge to roll his eyes.Jordan thought to himself, “What the fuck is Jordan talking about? He wants me to stay safe even though there’s no safety equipment around? Jordan must be kidding me.”The tallest log seemed to be over 60 feet tall.If one were to fall from it, they would surely not be able to walk it off.Jeremiah suddenly regretted not volunteering himself for the first challenge.But it was too late for that.He carefully got on
The fourth challenge.All of Sebastian’s groomsmen had taken up a challenge.Sebastian had to go next.Jason grinned at Sebastian and said, “I’m not as cruel as the rest of my brothers. The challenge is an easy one. Heck! I wouldn’t even call it a challenge.”Sebastian cocked an eyebrow. “Are you saying you’ll let me off the hook this time?”“Of course not.” Jason waved his hand dismissively. “I have two papers here. One is a share transfer contract, while the other is your divorce papers. We’ll be handing over our precious princess to you today, and we hope you will treat her right. You have to promise you will love and cherish her and that no harm will come to her. If we ever find out you mistreated her, your marriage will be called off automatically, and all your properties and money will belong to her.”Jason paused before continuing. “Do you swear by it, Sebastian?”The crowd fell silent at Jason’s words.They all wondered if Sebastian would swear by it.He was putting ev
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
