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
Everyone in the living room looked over when they heard the commotion at the entrance.They were indifferent as if they had lost interest when they saw it was Tommy.Tommy walked over and stood in front of Curtis.He coldly asked, "What exactly did you do to Margot? Why would she commit suicide?"Curtis buried his head in his hands and remained mum.It was as if he was numb all over and could no longer feel pain.Natalie passed Margot's phone over to Tommy from the side.She said, "This is Margot's suicide note."Tommy glanced over at Natalie before taking the phone over.He didn't know what to say after reading the message.If it really were Margot's own doing, he would have no right to blame Curtis.Tommy recalled that the suicide note had mentioned that Margot liked someone.He then asked Curtis, "Who was the person that Margot liked? Did you break them apart and hurt the person she liked?"Curtis' mind was a complete mess.He was unwilling to think further.He only w
Curtis was still sitting on the rug in front of the couch.The way he looked was indeed frightening.Doris had once again prepared his meal and called out respectfully, "You should have some food, Sir. You can't continue being like this."Curtis had a cell phone in his hand.Margot was smiling brightly in the photo on the screen of the phone.Curtis' gaze was empty as he sat slumped.He asked Doris weakly, "Was she happy whenever I'm not at home?"Doris nodded and replied, "Ms. Stone was always a lively person who was always smiling. But I've seen far less of her smile since you brought Tammy back."Curtis was speechless.So, the actual culprit that caused Margot's death was him, after all.It was not because she really liked someone else that she left him.Oh, Curtis really was despicable.He waved a hand to indicate for Doris to leave him. He continued to slump by the couch and let his mind wander off.Various scenes of their interaction flashed continuously in front of
Tommy declined all of his work after Margot woke up.He kept watch over her daily and took the doctor's advice in continuing to stimulate her consciousness so as to not let her remain in a stupor.Otherwise, she would end up having severe motor impairments.Perhaps Tommy's efforts had paid off, as Margot finally regained some consciousness after a few days.She could now smile.Tommy was ecstatic as he continued to sit by the bed to talk to Margot.He asked, "Do you know who I am? Do you know what I do for a living?"Margot fell into a stupor once again. Her gaze was unfocused as she looked at the person before her.She couldn't recall who he was.However, she felt that he was a good person.Margot blinked before shaking her head.Tommy saw how she had answered him again and hurriedly scooted closer to say, "Well, I'm your superhero! Do you know what a superhero is?"Margot watched him innocently and dumbly like an idiot. She could not understand him.Tommy continued to ex
Gabriel's face fell when he heard Natalie's words.He coldly retorted, "Curt grew up with us, Natalie. Wouldn't you know what he's like? How could you suspect Margot's death has something to do with Curt?"Natalie explained her own opinion and said, "Margot's suicide note said that Curtis killed the person she liked."That means it's likely that Curtis liked Margot, but she only sees him as an older brother. That's why he harbored a murderous intent toward her, all just because he couldn't have her."Otherwise, why didn't he marry Tammy after all these years of their engagement?If he only treated Margot as his younger sister, why would he let Margot stay with him?All those signs indicated that Curtis harbored different feelings toward Margot.Gabriel said, "Even if Curt liked Margot, he wouldn't kill her just because of an unrequited love. You really don't understand Curt after all!"He stood up suddenly and told Natalie, "I'm going to visit Curt at the hospital. I'll tell hi
His Margot was not dead?They found her already?Curtis grabbed Gabriel excitedly and asked, "Where's Margot? Where's she now?"Gabriel pulled his hand away disdainfully.He said, "Go eat something first. You haven't been eating much since something happened to Margot. You've tortured yourself until you're hospitalized. You can't even walk properly now. How can I bring you to see her?"Curtis asked, "You're not lying to me, right?"He tried his best to make himself calm down.Margot was not dead, that was great!He could finally see Margot again.Curtis immediately nodded and replied, "Alright, I'll eat. After that, you should bring me to see her."Gabriel said, "Okay."There was some food on the bedside table. Curtis quickly took the food over and wolfed them down without caring about his image.…At the same time, Tammy was carrying some food in her hands.She stood stiffly by the entrance of the room. She couldn't believe her ears.Margot did not die?How could that
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
