If it weren't for Laura's phone call, by now Royce would have already reclaimed everything that rightfully belonged to his royal lineage, and the Morris family would have been wiped out.Even when he lost, it was caused by Laura, and he didn't feel like he had lost to the Morris family. So, he didn't regret his actions at all.Curtis realized that Royce was genuinely prepared to face death. He took out his phone and sent a text to Margot. He asked her to come upstairs.Curtis looked at Royce and reminded him, "If you have something to say, hurry up and say it."Otherwise, once they left the room, Royce would never have the chance to speak again.Royce casually poured another half glass of red wine and sipped it leisurely. He said to Curtis, "I had hoped to see the woman I love and share my innermost thoughts with her in the final moments of my life, but it's clear that she doesn't want to see me."Since that's the case, I have nothing more to say. I'll wait here for her for a day
As Margot watched Royce sit there with his head down and become deeply engrossed in talking about the past in front of her and Curtis, she couldn't help but feel touched.It was true that back then, they were very youthful and full of energy.Back then, Royce was extremely cheerful and full of laughter. He was popular in the university like a carefree scion from a wealthy family.Unfortunately, he couldn't help but always follow Margot around and appear in front of her.No matter how many times she told him that she already had someone she liked, he still enthusiastically bought her breakfast, saved her a seat in the library, and stood in line to get her foodin the cafeteria.He even accompanied her on a train to Brooksville.However, it was precisely because he was always following her that she became increasingly unhappy.She was even abducted by Anthony, which led to a miscarriage. Later on, it was also because of Anthony that caused her to encounter many unfortunate events.
"My father sacrificed so much for the peace of Emeria. You must be aware of that. Although he always had control over your royal family, he also ensured your wealth and high status," said Calvin."How could you be so heartless to do that? Royce, you killed my dad and Daniel. The lives of everyone in your entire family couldn't make up for it."It turned out that it was Royce who harmed Frederick.Calvin hated himself for not thoroughly checking things the night Frederick and Daniel left. Why didn't he ensure that Frederick's surroundings were safe before letting them board the plane? How negligent could he be that even someone who worked for Royce managed to place a bomb on the plane?Royce, who was barely clinging to life with blood still pouring from his mouth, lifted his head weakly. With unfocused eyes, he looked at the woman who collapsed in Curtis' arms.He weakly called out, "Margot…"Margot couldn't bring herself to look at him. She turned to face Curtis' chest and was un
Calvin said, "It's good that he took matters into his own hands and saved us the trouble. Let's quickly take care of things and arrange to send Mother back to Emeria.""Okay."With that, Anthony stood up and personally took care of Royce's remains.…Margot fell ill after returning to the manor. Her high fever was persistent and didn't reduce.Margot, who was in a coma, was always having various nightmares. She dreamed of herself falling into a sea of blood and was unable to get up. She dreamed of countless demonic claws reaching for her as if they were trying to drag her into hell to be devoured.All the pain and suffering she had endured throughout her life now completely overwhelmed her at that moment. It enveloped her and trapped her in a nightmare from which there was no escape.Calvin saw that Margot remained in a coma and wouldn't recover anytime soon. In the end, he had no choice but to ask Curtis to stay and help take care of Natalie and Margot.He and Anthony took Reg
Lena was only gone for a month. Within a month, not only did Regina die, but Frederick and Daniel also passed away. Even Royce, who once liked Margot, ended up dying.How could this have happened?After seeing Curtis beside her, Lena snapped back to reality and quickly asked, "You asked me over the phone to come and check on Margot. What's wrong with her?"Curtis said, "She's been ill lately and has been feeling very disoriented. The doctor said it was due to excessive shock, combined with the fact that she's encountered too many sad events recently."They said there's no particular medicine for this. Go upstairs and check on her first.""Okay."Lena didn't stay any longer and quickly ran upstairs.When Lena entered Margot's room, she saw Margot lying in bed with a flushed face. She looked even thinner than before. It made Lena's heart ache to see her like this.With reddened eyes, she sat by the bedside and raised her hand to hold Margot's hand, saying, "Margot, I'm back. Can
After hearing what Lena said, Curtis and Natalie were both taken aback. A psychological issue? Did such psychological issues really exist in this world?Although they were very skeptical, it was entirely possible that Margot might have encountered something supernatural.Otherwise, why would the doctors be unable to do anything about her condition?They had to trust in Lena instead.Natalie nodded and said, "Alright. I'll go and get the things you need."Curtis stopped her and said, "You stay here. I'll go get things ready. You're pregnant, and you probably shouldn't be handling those kinds of items."Lena was surprised and looked at Natalie. "Are you pregnant, Natalie?"Natalie nodded.Lena quickly raised her hand and pulled her over, saying, "Then why didn't you tell me?"Curtis is right. Pregnant women shouldn't be touching those things. When I help Margot later, you can't stay either."Natalie nodded in confusion.Curtis got up to prepare the items that Lena needed.Soo
Curtis had no choice but to leave.Lena lit a few candles and placed them at the four corners of Margot's bed, where she was sleeping, and then lit some frankincense and placed it at the end of the bed.Then, she took the copper coins and approached Margot."Don't be afraid, Margot. Close your eyes and stop thinking about anything."Margot listened and obediently closed her eyes.Lena circled the copper coins around Margot's forehead while chanting a few spells. She then scraped some copper off of it and quickly threw it into a bowl filled with vodka. She lit the alcohol with the lighter and let it burn completely.The smoke gathered and left ashes scattered around the edges of the bowl. However, the flames continued to burn as it was fueled by vodka. Lena carried a cup filled with ashes and still-burning vodka and brought it to Margot's mouth."Margot, drink this."Margot complied and did what Lena said.After gulping the bowl filled with ash-covered vodka, she grimaced in di
When Lena opened the package, inside it were a few metaphysical books left for her by Bronson, along with the golden pendant.At the time, she didn't think much of it. She just assumed that since Bronson had gone back there, he must still be there, so she stayed and waited.A month went by, and there was still no sign of Bronson.Later, when she recalled the existence of the golden pendant, she quickly returned to the city.Now, Curtis was telling her that the golden pendant was most likely a family heirloom from someone else and even had initials engraved on it. What could that signify?Did the golden pendant have something to do with her background?As long as Lena found the origin of the golden pendant, she could figure out who her biological parents were.Lena suddenly became very excited and turned to Curtis, pleading, "Curtis, could you help me look it up? I want to find out where this golden pendant comes from so I can return it to its rightful owner. It's a family heirlo
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
