This way, Margot and the rest would feel less worried and their lives would feel more secure.Curtis held her close and comforted her, saying, "The reason Calvin took Natalie back to Emeria is because Anthony went to find Lena."Don't worry, if Anthony finds Lena, he will definitely inform us right away."Margot agreed after thinking it over.It was because Anthony went to find Lena that Calvin took Natalie and Benjamin back to Emeria.She was now just waiting for news from Anthony and didn't need to spend too much manpower searching for Lena. She believed that he would definitely find Lena .…After getting up and freshening up, the couple went downstairs to have breakfast.In the dining room, Elias, Ashley, Laura, Curtis, and Margot were seated.In the middle of the meal, Laura looked up at Elias and Ashley and said, "I want to participate in a talent show."Several people simultaneously turned their gaze toward Laura.Laura looked at them and said, "This is my dream, and
Curtis wasn't at all that happy about Margot reaching out to Tommy, and he said, "I'll handle the discussions about the investment. You stay home and take care of Louis."Margot refused, saying, "No, you don't understand how profitable the entertainment industry is. I've got money, and I'll invest in it to eventually monopolize the entire entertainment industry for Natalie's studio."Then, we'll turn the studio into a company, go public, and make a fortune."Curtis was both amused and exasperated. "Do you think making money is that easy? Do you think you can just create a monopoly or go public on a whim? Do you have any idea how much money needs to be invested to get there?"Margot stared at Curtis with obvious disdain. She said, "I have plenty of money, so it doesn't matter how much I invest. I'll put my money into any big project, whether it makes a profit or not. My main goal is to dominate the entertainment industry and become a major player. This way, I can support Aunt Laur
"You're five weeks into your pregnancy. Since your health isn't the best, you must watch out for …"Margot Stone didn't hear what the doctor said afterward. All she heard was that she was pregnant.She was pregnant …She couldn't believe she was having his baby.Didn't this mean that their contract marriage would now turn into a real one?Margot was over the moon. She remembered that he was returning from his business trip tonight, so she grabbed her pregnancy report and dashed home excitedly.As the sun set and the sky began drizzling, Margot returned home completely drenched.As soon as she entered the house, her housekeeper, Doris, rushed over with a towel to dry off Margot's hair."Oh, look at you! You'll catch a cold at this rate! Hurry upstairs and take a warm bath."Still, Margot kept beaming from ear to ear.She bent over to change her shoes. That was when she saw a pair of well-polished leather shoes on top of the shoe cabinet.Pleasantly surprised, Margot spun arou
Margot knew Curtis had given her a lot, and she shouldn't cling to him.However, she was pregnant with his child, so she must think for her child as well."Are you trying to start a fight, Margot?" Curtis' scowl deepened.Standing beside the bed, he looked down at Margot but didn't explain why he was marrying the other woman.Margot didn't want to anger him, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.Working hard to keep her emotions in check, she replied, "I just want to know if you'll stop talking to that woman if I have a baby with you."She was giving him a chance.Curtis pressed his lips together, displeased. Without hesitation, he said, "We will still be getting divorced, just not now. Don't worry. You can have anything you want when we get divorced."Hearing this, Margot shut her eyes as hot tears rolled down her cheeks.Her heart throbbing, she threw herself across the bed, unable to stop her cries any longer.Curtis watched her sob, and his heart began to ache
Margot clung to Curtis as she kissed him passionately and resentfully.No normal man would be able to resist such temptation, including Curtis. He wrapped his arm around her and began kissing her back.He tossed the divorce papers into the table drawer with his other hand before lifting Margot. They slowly made their way upstairs, their kiss never stopping.The journey was easy due to how light Margo was.It was only when he placed her on their bed that Margot realized she shouldn't be doing this in case their actions might hurt her baby.So, when Curtis leaned closer to her, she quickly pressed a hand against his chest.Curtis, having lost all reason, was insistent on kissing her.Margot knew what the kiss would lead to, so she frantically stopped the man. "Stop! I'm not feeling too well, so why don't we stop here?""Too late," Curtis groaned hoarsely. He was about to carry on, but Margot hurriedly pushed him away and curled into a ball at one end of the bed.Curtis was confu
Margot was puzzled. Who could it be?Curiously, she headed toward the campus gates where she was greeted by a middle-aged man.The man greeted her politely, "This way, please, Ms. Stone."Margot followed the man to a car waiting by the roadside. The man opened the door, and Margot spotted a well-dressed lady sitting inside.Margot didn't know who the woman was, so she remained standing and on guard.The woman in the car said, "Come in. I'll take you out to lunch."Margot didn't respond, so the other woman continued, "I'm Tammy Vaughn. I don't know if Curt has ever mentioned me."Tammy …Margot recalled seeing this name on Curtis' phone and realized this was the woman he was going to marry.Immediately, Margot was filled with animosity against the woman. She snapped, "What are you here for?"From her seat, Tammy regarded Margot patronizingly. "I just wanted to chat about Curt. Why? Are you afraid of me?""Afraid of you, a shameless mistress?"There was no way Margot was scar
Margot was taken aback. "What are you talking about?""Listen, from now on, don't bother Tammy. Be good and don't put me in a tough spot, alright?"Without letting Margot answer, he continued, "That's it. I'm hanging up now."Before Margot had time to defend herself, Curtis had already ended the call.Margot's blood began boiling as she came to the realization that Tammy had tattled on her first.How dare that woman go whining to Curtis when she was the one who approached Margot?Margot was frustrated but could only drag herself back to campus.For the next two days, Margot stayed in school and never sent Curtis a single text. However, Curtis didn't take the initiative to contact her, either.Friday soon arrived, and it was time for the highly anticipated lecture.Margot was sitting at her desk dazedly when Quinn began to sweep through her things to look for her phone.Finally, Quinn found it. She was about to run out when she spotted Margot still sitting there, so she asked,
When she arrived at the parking lot, she saw a black Lincoln parked there.Curtis' assistant saw Margot and quickly opened the car door for her.Margot realized Curtis was also inside when she got in the car.He was in a black suit. His presence exuded a sense of irresistible charm, but Margot pretended not to see him and sat quietly beside him.Curtis frowned. He asked gently, "Did you not attend the talk?"He didn't see her when he was on stage.Margot was prettier than most students. He could always spot her in a crowd.Margot looked out the window. She deliberately avoided looking at him, but she still answered, "I didn't go.""Why didn't you go?""You're about to divorce me. You surely won't want to see me," Margot declared."What?"Curtis frowned. He was slightly perplexed.He went to hug her. "Are you still angry?"Margot pushed his hands away. "Mr. Crosby, behave yourself."Crosby was stunned. Why was Margot so prickly today?He forcefully pulled her into his arm
