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
The doctor quickly and carefully began the examination.When Margot was pregnant and stayed at the manor for a year, Regina had set up various medical devices at home to avoid frequent hospital visits.This included an ultrasound machine, which now proved to be quite handy.Calvin and Margot anxiously stood by. They could feel their hearts racing.They felt a mix of surprise and fear.If Natalie lost her baby at such a critical moment, it would be a devastating blow to the family.Fortunately, the doctor soon identified the pregnancy sac and fetal heartbeat through the ultrasound.In fact, there were more than one heartbeat.He let out a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the baby is safe."The doctor stood up and smiled at Calvin. "Congratulations, Mr. Morris. Mrs. Morris is indeed pregnant, and she's about six weeks along. Although the fetal heartbeat is a bit unstable, if she takes good care of herself and the pregnancy, everything should be fine."Calvin was stunned.
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
