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
Frederick was surprised.It turned out that the Branden mentioned by Anthony earlier wasn't the same Branden who helped him back in the day.But since they were master and disciple, it was likely that this disciple had inherited the formidable skills of his master.He asked, "Excuse me, Mr. York, do you know how to do fortune telling?"Branden gave a faint smile and said, "Of course, I know a bit."Frederick got excited and quickly asked, "Could you help me find out if my daughter will come back to me?"Back then, he followed Branden's advice, and his life took off like it was on a lucky streak.Later on, they had everything one could wish for: power, status, wealth, and a harmonious family.Now, if Branden's disciple could show him a clear path and help Margot return to his side, his life would finally be complete.Branden pressed his lips together and frowned. After a moment of silence, he looked at Frederick again and asked, "Do you really want to know?"Frederick was reso
