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
Curtis gave a small smile, gently kissed Margot's lips, and said, "Alright, go to sleep now."……The wedding venue was set up like a dream, with everything in white, making it feel like stepping into a fairyland.White roses were everywhere, the gentle breeze carried their scent far and wide.And the most delightful part was that there were all sorts of pastries and alcoholic drinks set up all around the venue.Every item was meticulously crafted by the chef, and it looked very high-end.Sabrina was still asleep. Branden took a plate and selected some nice pastries, then carried it over to Lena.Lena was hiding in the flowers to take a nap. Nobody knew what she was dreaming about, but she was drooling for sure.Branden teased her by holding the pastry close to her nose.A good pastry had a uniquely sweet and fragrant taste.That was Lena's favorite flavor.She suddenly opened her eyes and saw the food in front of her. She happily grabbed it and took a bite.Just as she was a
Although the Morris family did not reside in Amberville, they still invited all the wealthy and influential people from Amberville to the wedding.He was just downstairs entertaining guests, and a child accidentally got his suit dirty, so he came upstairs to change.After listening to Anthony, he walked toward his room with a serious expression and said, "Just say it if you have something to say.""Back then, it seemed like you had a lot of respect for Branden. Why was that?"Frederick froze upon hearing Anthony's question, and his face turned pale.After a while, he took out a suit from the wardrobe.He said, "Stay out of some things."Anthony was persistent. "Can you tell me who he really is? Why do even you give him such respect?"Frederick still wasn't willing to speak. He adjusted his suit, faced Anthony, and wore an expression of authority."Margot is coming over. First, figure out a way to keep her here and don't worry about anything else."There were still guests down
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
