Margot tried her best to calm herself down.It wasn't worth her time making a fuss with him.The more she made a fuss, the more it showed that she cared for Curtis. He would be even more unscrupulous.She should endure it no matter how it pained her to do so. She shouldn't show it on her face.Margot finally managed to suppress her rising emotions after repeatedly reminding herself.She turned to look at the man beside her and acted calm as she asked, "Sorry, I fell asleep in the car earlier. Do you need me for anything, Mr. Crosby?"Curtis was speechless.Mr. Crosby?Curtis squinted as he looked at how indifferent Margot was. He suddenly felt stuffy in his chest."What did you see earlier, Margot?" he asked despite knowing what had happened.Margot's eyes glistened. She almost couldn't hold her emotions in.She endured it and chuckled. "I saw everything. You and Ms. Vaughn really make an ideal couple, Mr. Crosby. You two are a perfect match."But … You should find somewher
Tammy suddenly laughed wildly.She then said, "But as much as a scumbag Curtis is, he still has countless women throwing themselves at him, including you."You're just a 20-year-old young lady. Didn't you marry Curtis just because he's rich?"Tammy pulled Margot over. Her emotions became unstable.Tammy said, "Why didn't you want the money I gave you?" That was ten million dollars! Margot could have any man she wanted if she left with the ten million in hand. Why should she compete with Tammy?"Don't you know that he's the one who made me unable to bear children forever? He must dedicate his entire lifetime to compensate me. He has to compensate me!"Margot pushed away Tammy, who was in hysteria.She stepped back and shouted, "I don't care about what happened between you and Curtis! I've also told you that I'll divorce him. I can leave anytime as long as he agrees to it!""Will you leave?" Tammy asked with reddened eyes.Margot felt that her heart had given up completely.She
It was already 7:00 pm by the time Curtis returned to the parking area. He had finished the inspection with the others from the company.They were planning to have dinner at the nearby farm stay before rushing back to Amberville the same night.Curtis realized that nobody was there when he got into the car. He couldn't help but look around but still couldn't find the person he was looking for.He then instructed Chester by his side. "Give Margot a call."Chester took his phone out and called Margot's number.The call went through, but nobody picked it up.He called multiple times, but they were all unanswered.Chester looked at Curtis and said, "Ms. Stone is not picking up, Mr. Crosby."Curtis took out his cell phone and personally gave her a call.He knew that she was angry at him.However, regardless of her anger, she still has to return to the car and head back with everyone else when it is dark.Who would Margot head back with if they were to leave without her in this
Curtis' heart skipped a beat. The bad feeling grew.It was to the point that he started having difficulties breathing.Nothing would happen to her.She was a 20-year-old adult. How would anything happen to her?However, it was hard for Curtis not to worry when he recalled her reaction as she left him earlier.Before this, Margot would cry and make a fuss no matter what he did with Tammy.She wasn't like that earlier.Not only was she calm, she was even smiling when she told him that Tammy and him were an ideal couple.Was she suppressing her sadness and did something foolish while avoiding him?Curtis vaguely recalled the words she had told him previously.She said that she could give her life to him if he wanted it.Did she really …Curtis could no longer stand still upon thinking this. He quickly strode into the mountains to look for her.He threw his image aside as he shouted, "Margot! Come out now, Margot!"Nothing could happen to her!She finally grew up and walked
The two drivers brought Curtis over to the riverside.One of them pointed at the stone beside and said, "We've picked the phone up here. It seemed like she placed it at such an obvious spot on purpose."Curtis looked at the turbulent river ahead. His tall figure staggered and almost fell out of balance.The two drivers by his side immediately supported and checked on him. "Mr. Crosby?"Curtis avoided their touch. Tears flooded his eyes as he choked out a sob. His chest felt stuffy as if he couldn't breathe.Did that mean that his Margot had jumped into the river?Did she commit suicide?Was she dead now?Curtis couldn't believe that Margot would just die after leaving him a suicide note!No, it wasn't true.She must definitely be joking with him.She must be hiding somewhere nearby.Curtis suddenly grabbed at the person next to him and shouted with a hoarse voice, "Go call for help and get people to come look for her. Get a thousand or ten thousand people to look for her if
Chester said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Crosby. We couldn't find Ms. Stone nearby."But I've already lodged a police report and gotten men to come over to search in the mountains. Ms. Stone will be alright!"Curtis' eyes reddened with despair.He grabbed onto Chester as tears blurred his vision.He was in a daze as he muttered, "My Margot committed suicide. She's dead."Was I too cruel toward her, Chester? She would rather die than stay by my side."She used to ask me back then if I loved her. I never knew the answer. But now that I've lost her, I realize that I cannot live without her."I loved her. I really loved her."It was as if Curtis was a child, holding Chester's hands while crying.His voice was choked in a sob as he spoke, "I'm instructing you to bring her back, Chester. I want her back!"It was Chester's first time seeing Curtis crying.He didn't know what happened to Margot, but the way Curtis was behaving was more than enough proof that something had happened to her.Che
On the other side, some period drama crew were setting up the shooting scene by the riverside at the foot of the mountain.The crew members were busy with their own work while the actors were getting their final makeup done by the makeup artists.The actors were wearing thick period costumes in the scorching summer. They were all sweating profusely despite having fans pointed at them.Such a scorching summer was making everyone irritated.Tommy, who had been sitting on a chair, had long since had a displeased expression on him.He was wearing a black robe with a pleated pattern, and on his head was a jewel-encrusted gold coronet.His assistant, Casey Reyers, had also realized his displeasure. She carefully passed him a bottle of iced water.She asked, "Since your scenes will only start later, do you want to wait in the car instead, Mr. Nelson?"Tommy received the iced water and drank a few mouthfuls. He was about to get some shut-eye when he suddenly heard the screams of the cr
As soon as the call connected, Natalie responded with a nasal tone, "Are you aware that Margot committed suicide, Tommy?"Tommy's heart squeezed as he repeated in disbelief, "Margot committed suicide?"Natalie said, "Yes. Curtis brought her along for inspection in the countryside yesterday. Something seemed to happen between them. Margot left a suicide note in her phone and committed suicide by jumping into the river."Tommy was speechless.He was stunned as he stared at the words "IN SURGERY" shown at the doorway ahead. Margot committed suicide?Why would she commit suicide?Even if she were unhappy with Curtis, such an optimistic young woman wouldn't have behaved this recklessly.Tommy knew that he wasn't well-acquainted with Margot, but he didn't believe Margot chose to commit suicide.There was something wrong here.Tommy ended the call when he thought of something. He then called to inform the crew not to spread the news of them finding a female body by the riverside ou
Margot, in particular, stood up and asked, "How could that be?"Calvin explained, "She said she ate a lot of cold-natured food, and when the kitchen refused to make them for her, she got upset. It's unclear whether she did it on purpose or if she just really wanted to eat those things.""Does Dad know about this?" Curtis asked.Calvin looked at him and said, "How would he know? The two aren't even together.""If Dad finds out, he'll definitely cause trouble for us again," Margot said, as she sat back with Louis.They found it frustrating how their dad seemed like a completely different person."It's fine, even if things get chaotic, it's not like we as his children will end up as enemies."Calvin reassured his sister, "Don't worry about it, we'll take care of this."Margot nodded.However, when she considered everything, she realized that Yasmine had still cared for Frederick for quite some time.She felt it was important for her to go and see how others were doing.That aft
In the coming days, Daniel and Edna stayed at home to take care of Frederick.Calvin and Margot were taking care of Natalie at the maternity center, and they were also looking after Louis.As for Curtis, he had been going back and forth between home and the maternity center.Anthony, apart from being busy with work, had assigned people to keep an eye on all of Yasmine's activities.As soon as he sat down in his office, his assistant came in with a cell phone and reported, "Sir, there's something urgent."Anthony picked up the cell phone.On the other end of the phone, the subordinate reported, "Sir, something bad has happened, that woman had a miscarriage."When Anthony heard this, he quickly stood up and asked, "What's going on?""I have no idea what happened. She just kept eating and eating a lot of stuff, and then soon after she started complaining about stomach pain. When the doctor arrived, they announced she had a miscarriage.""Let me speak to the doctor."At first, he
"Could it be that he misses you and wants to bring you home?"Edna nodded with a smile.Natalie couldn’t help but say, "People in love are like this; they can't stand being apart for a few hours. You should head back quickly."Even though they were a married couple and already had kids.However, they might still be in the honeymoon phase.So Natalie and Margot understood the current situation between Edna and Daniel.Edna bowed her head, feeling quite embarrassed.She lowered her voice and said, "Daniel told me not to leave the room. He's coming to pick me up because it's raining outside."Her eyes were filled with joy and happiness.Margot and Natalie exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, genuinely happy for Edna.Of course, they were also relieved and pleased that Daniel had finally broken through his emotional defenses and genuinely accepted Edna.Daniel arrived half an hour later and brought a coat for Edna.He briefly greeted Natalie, checked on the two children
Louis was very happy to see his mom, sticking close to her all the time and not responding to her uncle's words at all.Margot didn't believe it for a second and left the house while holding Louis.In an instant, he caught sight of Curtis standing next to the wall.She looked at him somewhat resentfully. "What are you playing at with all this mystery? I actually thought Louis was sent by you."Curtis smiled and embraced both mother and child warmly."I wouldn't dare. If I lost the package with Louis inside, you would definitely be furious with me.""If you lose my Louis, I'm going to be really upset with you."Margot, ignoring Curtis, carried Louis into the room.Curtis followed her inside.Looking at Natalie on the bed, he smiled and said, "Congratulations! You got yourselves a pair of kids."Natalie had incredible luck; she ended up having twins, a boy and a girl, which was something that happened very rarely.Natalie responded with a smile, "Thank you, and I heard that on
Considering Frederick's current attitude toward the three brothers, sending the food personally would definitely make him angrier.So it was best for them to steer clear for now.In the dining room, four men were sitting together.Curtis rarely spent time alone with these three men, and it made him inexplicably anxious.He was worried that if he did anything they didn't like, they might "fire" him as their brother-in-law."After you resolved your brainwashing spell, there haven't been any complications, right?" Daniel asked.Curtis looked at him and said, "Not really, I've always been wearing this sachet that my daughter gave me. I've heard from Branden that it's supposed to protect me from brainwashing spells."Actually, that sachet only helped to relieve his headache.It was not to destroy the brainwashing spell.It was actually done by Branden on the sachet, using his special techniques.It was good that it got resolved.Daniel raised his beverage cup and said, "Congratul
Curtis was really taken aback. He had made a special trip from far away to see his father-in-law who had just returned, only to be met with such an unexpected attitude.However, being the junior, there was no choice but to keep smiling and continue on."Mr. Morris Senior, there's no need to get upset. It's not a big deal, and there's no need to have any unpleasantness within the family."Frederick glanced once more at Curtis, reminding himself that this was his daughter's husband, and made an effort to soften his expression."I really didn't want to have a conflict with them, but they insisted on going against me."Curtis stood nearby and cautiously began to speak, "I think you should focus on taking care of your health right now. Once they help you get the prosthetic fitted, and you're able to stand and walk, do you think they'll stop you from doing what you want?"First, Curtis came up with a temporary solution. Once the elder had calmed down over time and understood the challe
Calvin shook his head in exasperation and said, "When it comes to being self-absorbed, no one can compete with you."He asked the little kid in his arms, "Isn't that right, Louis? Are you happy to see your uncle?"Louis had a soft, fair complexion and a very adorable smile.Louis, who was quite smart, looked at Calvin with bright eyes and replied enthusiastically, though not very clearly, "Ha-happy, I feel happy to see uncle."Calvin exclaimed, "Wow, my little nephew is truly smart. You're just over a year old and already know how to respond to me.""You should think about who's the one who gave birth to him.""Heh."Seeing Curtis about to indulge in his narcissism again, Calvin glanced at him and scoffed, "You should consider who this child is born to. Don't forget, this little boy is half from the Morris family."Curtis was speechless.He didn't want to argue with him. He just stepped forward, opened the car door, and got in.Calvin carried the child and got on the bus.Th
Yuuken was terrified as he angrily shouted at Anthony, "What are you trying to do? I saved your father's life! Is this how you treat your benefactor?" Anthony was losing patience and he couldn't be bothered with any further explanations. He simply motioned to the men beside him. A group of bodyguards stepped forward and began beating Yuuken mercilessly. They struck him until he was sprawled on the ground, blood pouring from his mouth, unable to even crawl. He never imagined things would turn out this way. If he had known that returning with the Morris family would lead to such a fate, he would have taken the money he had already received and started a new life elsewhere.He looked up at Anthony and pleaded tearfully. "Mr. Morris, I know I was wrong! Please, spare me!"Anthony sat elegantly, exuding nobility, and glanced at him disdainfully. "Do you know why I had you beaten?"Yuuken thought for a moment before replying, "Is it because I wasn't satisfied even after taki
Yasmine thought about it and agreed. After all, this family seemed well-educated and reasonable. So, she relented to her brother. "Alright, you can go with him, but come back early. Later, you can take me to see it too.""Alright."After using his hand to wipe his mouth, Yuuken hurriedly walked toward Anthony and said, "Let's go, take me there now. Is the castle like the one your family lives in? Does it have lots of helpers and a butler? Are the household staff young? I don't want old women serving me"Anthony's expression darkened immediately as he turned to lead Yuuken out. His thin lips pressed into a tight line, and he chuckled coldly. "Don't worry. They're all young women in their twenties, beautiful as flowers.""Really?"Yuuken believed him and even patted Anthony on the back. "You really do get me."However, Anthony shot him a cold glare.His entire demeanor exuded icy hostility and it made Yuuken feel intimidated. He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, alright? You
