Lena ignored Branden and looked at Margot."Margot, are you guys planning to go home to sleep? Natalie is leaving at 3:00 am, so if we go home now, we'll hardly get two hours of sleep before having to rush back. It's such a hassle."Luna also came over and said, "Why don't we just stay here and keep Natalie company?"Of course, Margot would not leave Natalie feeling nervous here alone.She nodded in agreement and said, "Alright, we'll accompany Natalie."Margot looked at Curtis and said, "Why don't you take Sabrina to rest?""If none of you are going back, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go back either, right?"Well, as for Sabrina...Curtis handed her over to Branden and said, "She's your daughter, so you go ahead and arrange for her to rest."Tommy took Sabrina and sat her on his lap. He asked, "Sabrina, how about I take you to rest?"Sabrina was still very energetic and didn't really want to sleep.She blinked and said, "I want to be with Benjamin. Where is Benjamin?
After Alicent finished talking with Natalie and left, Lune also finished eating and took Margot back to the room to keep Natalie company.After Lena finished talking with Branden, she headed to her room as well.As soon as she walked in, Margot smiled and asked, "What did your instructor talk to you about? The conversation lasted so long."Lena pouted and sat down next to Margot. "We didn't talk much. He just kept nagging me like some elderly father, it was so annoying."At first, she mistakenly thought that maybe the instructor liked her and that was why he paid so much attention to her.When talking and interacting with her, he was particularly self-righteous, even more controlling than Anthony.Lena sometimes wondered why she was so unlucky. She was always meeting men who all wanted to control her. It was really annoying."What is Branden thinking? Sabrina is already five years old, and you're only 21. He always gets close to you. Could he really be interested in you?"Natal
After going through a series of customs, Calvin carried Natalie on his back and walked out of the Nelson residence.Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers erupted.Calvin helped Natalie into the wedding car, then pulled Benjamin to his side. He patted him on the head, and said, "You sit next to Mommy."Benjamin agreed to get in the car to keep Natalie from getting too anxious.Calvin went to sit in the front passenger seat.The bridesmaids and groomsmen who came along, as well as the friends and family from the Nelson family who were present to see off the couple, all got into the cars one after another.Margot, Curtis, and Gabriel were at the back.After a short while, the luxurious convoy slowly drove away from the Nelson residence.From the Nelson residence to Alice Manor, it took about two hours even when driving slowly.To make sure that more people could witness his wedding, Calvin specifically instructed the driver to go slowly.The Nelson family had the ceremony at 3:00
Calvin happened to overhear this conversation.He wrapped her hands around Natalie's waist. While smiling and waving to the townsfolk who were sending their well wishes, he whispered, "It's too late for you to back out now. Don't worry, it's not much money, just several hundred million dollars, enough for everyone to get a little lucky."Natalie looked at him and said, "What? Are you saying you just threw away several hundred million dollars?""Yes, 880 million."Natalie was speechless.It was a whopping 880 million! Why did this person sound like they were talking about a number?Margot couldn't help sighing. "Poverty limits my imagination."Curtis leaned down and kissed her. "Poverty? My darling is a billionaire, isn't she?"Margot brushed past the man next to her, thinking that it wasn't her money anyway. She picked up the basket beside her and joined in.Lena was very sad while doing that.Anthony seemed to notice her reluctance. He leaned in and whispered, "It's okay,
Margot did not want to meet anyone from the Morris family so she hid in a very secluded place.However, she was still discovered.Regina was dressed in luxurious clothing, but her face looked very haggard.She slowly walked up behind Margot and softly called out, "Margot..."Margot, who was watching the fish in the pond, slowly turned around.When she saw it was Regina, she wanted to turn around and leave.Regina quickly called out to her again."I know you resent me, but I just want to see you. Please don't leave. Let me take a good look at you for a moment, and then I'll step aside, alright?"Margot paused and met Regina's gaze with a cold look."What's there to look at? Are you hoping to see if the spot on my face that you disfigured with your own hands still has any scars?""No, of course not."Regina's eyes filled with tears, and she didn't dare take another step closer to Margot.Her voice broke as she spoke up, "If I had known you were my daughter back then, I defini
Margot couldn't stand facing her parents for another moment so she ran away in tears.Frederick was trembling all over and staggering as he walked.He was so overwhelmed with frustration that he almost couldn't catch his breath.Regina stepped forward to help him."Are you okay?"Frederick waved his hand and said, "I told you, even if she comes back to this house, she won't show any emotion.""Maybe we pushed too hard?" Regina covered her face and wiped away tears.Frederick sighed. "We can't stay here forever. We have to go back to Emeria eventually, and if we don’t take her with us, we'll always be missing her."The main reason was that their entire family had come here because the situation in Emeria had been extremely unstable recently.If they stayed here any longer and something happened over at Emeria, what would they do then?"How about after Calvin's wedding, you take them back first, and I'll stay here to persuade Margot slowly," Regina said.Frederick figured it w
Margot couldn't believe that the well-dressed young men in front of her were all from the Morris family.Out of politeness, she nodded and said, "Hello, everyone.""Margot, there's no need to be formal with us. Come back here and sit down, let's have a nice chat."An older person stepped up and pointed at the pavilion."Come on, Margot, sit down and have a good chat with us."They immediately got involved and pushed Margot back into the pavilion.Margot reluctantly went back to sit down. Facing a group of unfamiliar men for the first time, she felt a bit uneasy.The other cousin brothers also sat nearby, surrounding Margot, and spoke to her with concern."Margot, I heard that you were brought to Amberville when you were five years old, and it was Mr. Crosby who saved you?""Mr. Crosby is a tremendous benefactor to our family.""How have you been all these years?""Have you thought about when you'll join us in going back to Emeria to recognize your ancestral roots?""How abo
Curtis looked at the group of men and politely said, "I'm sorry, Margot just recovered from a serious illness and isn't in great shape. I'm going over to stay with her, you all go ahead without me."After that, Curtis grabbed the tray and hurried to keep up with Margot.While handing the food to Margot, he asked, "Are they trying to persuade you to go back to Emeria?"Margot grabbed a pastry and looked for a place where she could eat it alone."Yes. There were seven or eight of them, and they were just chattering about. If we don't leave soon, I might go crazy."She was really surprised that there were so many sons in the Morris family.And, each one of them was so attractive.If she hadn't been abandoned back then, growing up in that kind of family, she would probably have been very happy.It was a pity...She was not that lucky."What do you think?" Curtis asked.Margot sat down on the grassy field by the lake, glanced at Curtis, and responded evasively, "You really don't
