All these people were so cold and heartless.When the day came that he stood at the pinnacle of power, he would make everyone bow down to him."Are we going to keep this up?" Zyla spoke up.Royce gathered his thoughts and glanced at the woman in the wheelchair."Yes, just stay here and wait. When the Morris family learns that you've been disregarding your injuries and staying by the entrance of the Crosby residence for days and nights to seek Margot's forgiveness, they naturally won't have the heart to turn you away."Zyla had no choice but to agree.Inside the Crosby residence.Curtis went straight to find Margot as soon as he got home.When he saw that only his mother was sitting on the living room couch with his father holding Louis, he urgently asked, "Mom, Dad, where is Margot?"Ashley gestured toward the park. "She's alone over there, why don't you go check her out?"As he was about to go to the park, Curtis suddenly thought of something and asked, "Have Royce and Zyla
At the Vaughn Mansion.When Margot arrived, all three beautiful women were present.Calvin just finished preparing lunch and brought it to the table. As soon as Margot and Curtis entered the house, Lena ran over to her and took her arm.She smiled and said, "Your brother made a lot of delicious food today, knowing you would love it, so he specifically called you over. I hope I'm not interrupting your romantic time with Curtis?"Margot pinched Lena and said, "You were the one who followed Luna out last night and didn't come back, you know.""Hehe, you wouldn't believe how fun the bar is. When Luna started dancing and swaying her hips, it was amazing. You have to see her dance sometime."Lena walked up and saw that lunch had already been served, so she pulled out a chair specifically for Margot.In the living room, Natalie came along with Luna."Margot, last night we invited you to go out and have fun with us, but you didn't come. Is it because your hubby is particularly strict?"
Margot saw Calvin coming over with a wine, so she leaned toward Curtis and asked, "Can I have some?"Curtis affectionately patted her on the head and softly said, "Go ahead. If you get drunk, I'll carry you home."The reason he didn't let Margot drink wine before was because she couldn't handle alcohol well. When she got drunk, she would cause trouble.He knew that Margot was in a bad mood today because Royce and Zyla went to the Crosby residence to annoy her. She really needed to drink some wine to let off some steam.As long as he was by her side, he would take good care of her.With Curtis' permission, when Margot saw Calvin pouring wine for her, she gestured and said, "You can pour a bit more."Calvin glanced at Margot and responded gently, "Your tolerance for wine isn't great, even at best you can only handle half a glass."After pouring, hand the wineglass to her.Calvin walked up behind Curtis and patted him on the shoulder. "I know you can't drink wine, so I'll get you
When Calvin didn't hear any response, he urged Gabriel again.Knowing that Gabriel would definitely come over, he hung up without saying much.He then put away his phone and returned to the dining room. Calvin looked at Margot and asked, "Margot, did you enjoy the food that I made today?"He must seek Margot's forgiveness as soon as possible so that she would attend the wedding.After all, his wedding venue, as per his parents' request, was held in their own estate.His casual greeting made Margot feel a bit awkward. She didn’t look at him and responded offhandedly, "Yeah, it's pretty good.""If you like it, have some more."Calvin picked her more food.Margot acknowledged him, but didn't pay much attention and turned to continue chatting and laughing.Because everyone was drinking wine, the meal progressed a bit more slowly.Curtis didn't drink wine, so after eating he waited in the living room.When he heard some noise at the door and looked up, he was surprised to see Gab
Having probably had some wine, Margot felt a bit dizzy and quickly walked toward Curtis.Lena wasn't naive; she understood why everyone was subtly leaving.They were just about making space for Gabriel and Luna to get along.She was also quite perceptive. She put down her fork, nudged Luna, and said with a smile, "Take your time eating with Mr. Sawyer. Once you're done, we can play some games.""Go ahead."Luna smiled quietly and, seeing that only she and Gabriel were in the dining room, she smiled and whispered something to Gabriel that only the two of them could hear."Mr. Sawyer, it seems we really are destined to meet."Gabriel didn't pay attention to the woman next to him; he was a bit hungry and focused on eating his own food.He responded, "Not destiny. I knew you were here, so I came specifically to see you.""Oh, did you come specifically to keep me company?""You're overthinking, I'm here to hang out with Mr. Crosby and the others.""Really?"Luna saw that he didn
After Calvin sent a message to Anthony, he waited for Gabriel and Luna to finish their meal before he started to clean up the dining table.Natalie tried to help, but he forcefully pushed her away.Left with no other choice, Natalie had to arrange for Gabriel to sit in the living room with Luna.Gabriel and Luna still pretended not to know each other as they walked into the living room and sat down.Gabriel quickly glanced around the entire villa but didn't see his son. Without paying attention to the people nearby, he asked Natalie, "Where's Benjamin? Doesn't he live here with you?"Natalie would no longer shy away from talking about her son in front of so many people with Gabriel.She replied, "He's just not here for the next couple of days. His semester has started, and since the school is close to my parents' house, he often stays there with them."Gabriel hesitated for a moment and then said, "Alright, I'll have him come over and stay with me for a few days."Natalie didn'
Margot met his gaze and refused without hesitation. "I am not going back to that place with you all.""Even if I beg you as your older brother, is it still a no?""Same answer."Margot suddenly stood up and faced away from Calvin."I'm making it clear right now that I will never go to that place again in my entire life, and I will not step into the Morris residence ever again."Calvin, I know you mean well for me, but please don't force me to do things I don't want to. The bloody scenes of how your mother hurt me in the past come back to me every time you all show up."You might never fully understand the feeling of being abused by your biological mother to the point of being disfigured."So don't try to persuade me; I'm not going with you.""Mom knows she was wrong."As he watched Margot's figure in the distance, Calvin's voice grew a bit quieter."And regarding Zyla, the Morris family has removed her from the family registry. It's not just our immediate family; the entire f
At some point, Curtis had come over. Seeing Margot crouching on the ground crying, he hurriedly stepped forward and held her in his arms.He asked softly, "What's wrong?"Margot sobbed and leaned into Curtis' embrace."Curtis, let's go. I don't want to talk to him.""Okay, I'll carry you back."Holding Margot tightly, Curtis faced Calvin and couldn't help but reprimand him."I don't care what you said to her, but if you make her cry again, it's better if you both don't show up anymore."Curtis was really upset when he heard those heart-wrenching cries.Calvin didn't bother anymore and walked away decisively."Margot, I'm sorry..."Calvin shouted, feeling a pang in his heart as he watched Curtis resolutely take her away.Feeling deeply regretful, he turned around and slammed his fist hard on the table in front of him.As Curtis carried Margot through the living room, he glanced at Gabriel."Gabriel, stay with them. I'll take Margot home first.""What's wrong?"Gabriel sto
Curtis didn't argue with her, and instead, he took her hand and led her inside.Margot noticed that despite Curtis' stern demeanor, he still showed care for her through his actions. She smiled knowingly and playfully asked while walking beside him, "What, can't find me at certain times and you're worried I ran off with someone else?"Curtis glanced at her and scoffed."Would you dare? If you dare run off with someone else, I'll break your legs."Despite speaking harsh words, the expression on the face and the gaze in the eyes directed at Margot were so gentle, it seemed as if they could bring forth tears.Margot listened to his violent words and stared at him, "Say it again, whose legs are you going to break?"Curtis was standing there. Although he still had a bit of presence, his facial expression already showed defeat.Before he could try to please his wife again, Margot had already brushed past him and slipped through the mansion's front doors.While running, he shouted, "An
So Gabriel had to personally drive her wherever she needed to go.Curtis listened to the two people and narrowed his eyes again."Who else?""Anthony."Anthony?Curtis was momentarily taken aback.Then, he saw Anthony coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a plate, and walking into the dining room.He set down his coat and told Luna, "You sit, I'll go help.""Go ahead."Curtis followed into the kitchen and saw that Anthony and Gabriel were acting as if they were in their own home, helping themselves to whatever they wanted to eat and making it themselves.He also felt a bit embarrassed and walked over, saying, "It's not right to have you cook since you're visiting, let me do it instead."Gabriel glanced at him and said, "We all treat you like one of us, so why are you being so formal with us?"Anthony responded, "I'm making it for my wife, after all, she only eats the food that I make."Curtis shook his head helplessly.They were showing off their relatio
Margot and Lena turned their heads at the same time.Jordan was dressed in a British-style uniform with a backpack. At eight years old, he stood around four feet tall. His smile was like a little ray of sunshine and could really brighten anyone's day.He shouted, "Mom, Aunt Lena, did you come specifically to pick me up?"Every time Margot heard Jordan call her "mom," it filled her heart with warmth.She raised her hand to give him a hug, gently ruffled his hair, and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up, get in the car.""It's been a month since I last saw you, and you've grown taller."Lena pulled Jordan onto the vehicle and started driving.Sitting in the car, Jordan couldn't help but smile as he looked at his senior.Lena looked at him and smiled, "Living here, how does it compare to being up in the mountains?"Jordan's eyes landed on Margot, filled with warmth and joy."Wherever my mom and dad are, I feel is the best place. Of course, I'm not saying that being with Mas
Margot greeted them with a smile, saying, "I thought you two would be quietly enjoying your romantic time at the estate. I didn't expect you'd come over to see us!"Lena reached out and gently pinched Louis' round cheeks, then looked at Margot and said, "You keep saying that, but you're not working, so why don't you come visit us?""I'm at home taking care of the kids. You have no idea how challenging it is.""Heh, you're just unfairly blaming Louis. Our little Louis is clearly very well-behaved."Lena ignored Margot and couldn't help but give Louis a couple of kisses after picking him up.Anthony walked over and asked, "Where is everyone else?"Margot motioned for them to come over and sit down, then poured them some water."Natalie just had her baby not long ago, and my in-laws went with Natalie's parents and the others to visit the babies, and they're also going to visit Dad."Whenever Anthony talked about his oblivious elderly father, he got frustrated.He didn't ask any m
Frederick, exuding the presence of the head of the family, welcomed the arriving in-laws with a smile.Afterwards, he behaved well and didn't mention anything about Yasmine, nor did he cause any trouble with his sons.The in-laws were very careful not to mention Frederick's injury, as they didn't want to hurt his pride.Daniel saw how lively it was at home and decided to bring Ena's mother over so that the in-laws could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.In the days that followed, everyone got along very well.In Amberville, Alice Manor.Anthony and Lena were enjoying a peaceful and romantic time together here. No one was bothering them, and they were not going out to work.The two of them spent the entire day cozied up at home.It involved either snacking while watching a movie or playing games followed by some cuddling and kissing.Anthony often made delicious food for Lena and took care of her so well that she seemed completely pampered.This caused Len
"If you won't let me bring her into the family, fine, I'll set up a large estate elsewhere. When the time comes, I won't let you in either."Daniel felt that his father was quite childish.He chuckled and said, "How about this, once the guests leave, I'll take you back to Yasmine. Then you can tell her that you've cut all ties with us and you want nothing. At that point, Yasmine is still willing to stay by your side and take care of you, then we'll do as you wish. How about that?Regarding the greedy Coran siblings, it was important to know that their father didn't have anything valuable left on him, and they wouldn't gain any benefits either.It would be surprising if she still stayed by Frederick's side."Don't underestimate people; Yasmine's love for me is genuine."Frederick didn't want to bet with Daniel.Human nature was something that shouldn't be gambled on.Daniel laughed again. "Are you afraid of losing, Dad?"Frederick stared at Daniel and said, "When have I ever be
Yasmine was not happy when she heard she would be left alone.She knelt beside Frederick, holding his hand and pleading desperately, "Frederick, you can't do this. You can't leave me here alone. If you leave, they'll treat me badly again, just like before. Can you take me with you? Even if it's just to be your nanny, I'm begging you!"Frederick could not stand seeing women cry.When Yasmine pleaded like that, he softened and turned to look at Daniel.Daniel, with a blank expression, said, "Dad, do you really want your in-laws to see you like this?"Frederick also looked upset and said in a serious tone:"Couldn't you say she's my nanny? Who would know?""We have kids at home, do they lie?"Frederick had no choice but to turn to Yasmine and said, "Just stay here. They won’t dare bother you again. I'm leaving now."He raised his hand to signal Daniel to push the wheelchair.Daniel pushed the wheelchair forward.However, Yasmine was unwilling and tried to stop it again.The he
"Are we supposed to live here for the rest of our lives? Even if we have to stay here, at least give us the freedom to come and go as we please."Look at how they've sent so many people to watch over us again, clearly treating us like prisoners."Noticing that Frederick's expression was starting to soften, Yasmine continued to stoke the fire."Tell me, is there any way sons should be treating their father like this? They just want to drive you to your limits so they can split up your assets. Frederick, you can't let them have their way, or else you'll spend your whole life working tirelessly for them only to end up in such a miserable situation. How pitiable that would be.Frederick was speechless.He didn't want to go back. But if he did, his sons would have to treat him with great respect.He hoped that Calvin would bring the military seal, and it had been two days now, yet they still hadn't delivered it to him.Was he really planning on not giving it to him?As soon as he th
She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s
