Natalie didn't understand why all of this was happening.She had just married into the Morris family, and now, Frederick and Daniel were missing, while Regina fell ill and passed away.She wondered if she was a jinx.How could all these terrible things happen at once?She didn't know why this was happening to her.Natalie wept uncontrollably at the bedside.Soon, the household staff and the doctor rushed over.But their presence was of no use. In front of everyone, the doctor officially declared the death of Regina.Margot was devastated upon hearing the news of Regina's death from the doctor and fainted.Natalie quickly instructed the doctor to carry Margot back to her room. She forced herself to manage her grief and focus on making arrangements for Regina's funeral.Luna kept her composure. She hurriedly left the room and called Gabriel while wiping her tears.It was three in the morning. Gabriel, who was in Emeria, was worried to receive Luna's call. "What happened? Is so
By the time Curtis and the rest arrived in Amberville, it was already the next morning.Calvin and Anthony rushed to see Regina.The two brothers fell to their knees at the doorway and crawled on their knees to Regina's bedside. Holding her cold, lifeless hands, they cried uncontrollably.Curtis also approached Regina's bedside. After grieving briefly, he quickly stood up to check on Margot.Stanading at the side, Natalie and Luna couldn't hold back their tears either as they watched the two brothers sobbing on the floor.Seeing the brothers sobbing in remorse, Natalie stepped forward and pulled Calvin up before embracing him tightly."Cal, the dead can't come back to life. Please stay strong. I'm sorry. It's my fault for failing to look after Mom."Calvin looked up with a dazed expression, his bloodshot eyes filled with sorrow as he gazed at Natalie."I remember asking you before how Mom was doing. Didn't you say she was fine? How did this happen so suddenly?"Natalie spoke t
Regina's figure began to fade away as well. Gradually, she disappeared into the darkness."Mom, Mom…"Margot tried to reach out to grab something but caught nothing.Overwhelmed by sadness, she woke up and couldn't help but cry.Curtis hurried over, pulled her up, and held her in his arms before comforting her, "Margot, don't be too sad."It was only then did Margot realize he had come back.She leaned against him and began to cry even harder."Curtis, my mom is gone. My dad and Daniel are gone too. Why is this happening to me? Why do I have to go through so much pain? Curtis, I regret it so much. I regret not going back to Emeria with my parents sooner. I regret holding grudges against them and blaming them. They'll never come back. They've all left me. I'm in so much pain. I feel so lost."Thinking about everything Margot had gone through over the years, Curtis held her even tighter.She had suffered too much.She had already had a tough time from losing him, Lilac, and the
Royce's handsome face turned dark when he saw Zyla storming into the main hall.He waved his hand to dismiss his messengers and subordinates before casting a cold glance at Zyla and sneering, "Your mother's death is a stroke of luck for me. Even God is helping me out. How could I afford to show them any mercy?"If he still couldn't turn the tide in his favor this time, he would be failing not only himself but also God.Zyla questioned him, "What are you planning to do?"She had made a grave mistake.She should never have helped Royce steal Frederick's confidential documents.Now, Frederick and Daniel were still missing, and Regina had passed away. Not to mention the Morris family was on the brink of collapse. She couldn't let Calvin and Anthony fall into Royce's hands. She knew he would show them no mercy.She had to find a way to escape and warn her brothers of Royce's treachery before they brought Regina's body back.Royce stood up and slowly approached her, his gaze sharp an
Zyla was speechless.It turned out that she was nothing more than a pawn for him to destroy the Morris family in his heart.She meant nothing at all to him.Zyla felt as if needles were stabbing her heart. She couldn't believe that the man she had loved for over 20 years, for whom she had even lost a child, saw her as nothing more than a pawn.Now that she was no longer of any use, he discarded her like a worn-out shoe."Haha…"Zyla sat there feeling completely drained and laughed in despair.As she laughed, she burst out into tears.Lying on the ground, she bit down hard on her own hand, as if punishing herself for betraying the Morris family's kindness in raising her.At some point, a pair of elegant shoes appeared in front of her.Zyla looked up.Through her tear-blurred vision, a beautiful and delicate face slowly came into view.The woman held out a handkerchief to her with a sympathetic expression."I know Uncle Royce is going out of hand, but he's doing this for the
Laura said into the phone, "Curt, listen carefully to everything I'm about to say and don't ask any questions. Just listen. You need to keep a close eye on Margot and make sure she doesn't return to Emeria. Uncle Royce has already set up everything in Emeria. As soon as the Morris family members come back, they'll be immediately arrested. He had also taken control of all the Morris family's branches here and won over Alexander. Tell Margot not to return to Emeria under any circumstances, got it?""Laura, what are you doing?"As Laura was about to continue speaking, she suddenly heard Royce's harsh voice from behind.Terrified, she shouted into the phone, "Curt, remember what I said!"Royce rushed over and grabbed Laura's phone. Seeing that she was on a call with Curtis, he angrily smashed the phone before grabbing Laura by the collar in a fit of rage."Laura, are you trying to get yourself killed?"Frightened by Royce's fierce demeanor, Laura began to cry. She timidly said, "Uncl
Royce looked up at Pamela and asked, "What is it?"…Meanwhile, in Amberville, Curtis stood outside the crowd. Holding his phone, he struggled to process the situation.Laura just said Royce had set up a trap to capture them.How dare he did that?"Curt, what are you waiting for? Let's get going."Gabriel, who was escorting them, called out to him from not far away.Curtis snapped back to reality. He quickly stepped in front of the convoy and shouted with his phone raised, "Everyone, listen to me. We're not going to Emeria."The crowd murmured in curiosity.Calvin approached, looking worn out and weary from lack of rest. He had a sad expression on his face."Curtis, what are you doing? We need to get my mom back as soon as possible"Anthony also approached to ask, "Who called you just now?"Margot and Natalie, who were sitting n the car, got out and came forward. Their eyes were red and swollen as they looked at Curtis in confusion.They didn't know why Curtis had suddenly
Calvin quickly scooped Natalie up and hurried her to a bedroom in the house.Margot immediately instructed the servants to call for a doctor.The group followed them into the room, while Anthony stayed behind to have Regina's casket moved to the hall for the time being.With the immediate plans to return to Emeria on hold, they would have to proceed with Regina's funeral at the manor.As soon as Natalie was placed on the bed, she noticed that the pain in her abdomen had lessened. But she felt a slight trickle of liquid seeping from her body.She sat up and looked at everyone with a weak expression."I should be fine. Don't worry. I just need to use the bathroom."Calvin quickly assisted her. "I'll take you there."Natalie didn't refuse.The couple went to the nearby bathroom under everyone's gazes.Gabriel thought Natalie was probably fine. He decided it was best for him to leave and quietly stepped away.Remembering that Regina's casket was still outside, Curtis turned to M
