Why didn't Calvin consider that revealing Margot's identity back then would put her in danger?He believed that the Morris family had immense power, and that after they got rid of Royce, no one would dare to oppose them anymore.Who could have known that Ragnar would take advantage of his weaknesses?Calvin was the one who had caused harm to befall Margot.He just hoped that Curtis understood what he meant and immediately sent someone to find Anthony and Lena to see what kind of poison Margot had been afflicted with and if it could be cured.If he couldn't solve it, then he'd just have to trade the military seal for the antidote.…After Margot and the others arrived at the Morris residence, it wasn't long before Curtis also returned with Edna and Geralt.He first sent someone to handle Edna and Geralt before hurrying off to see Margot.At that moment, Margot was in the large and luxurious living room of the Morris residence with Gabriel, Luna, and Natalie.They were discussi
After seeing Margot's worried and anxious expression, Curtis held her in his arms once again and explained, "Because they poisoned the food you ate during your stay at the royal palace."If we don't follow the king's orders, you won't get the antidote for the poison in your body. Once the poison takes effect, it could be…"The consequences of that would be unimaginable.Curtis and Calvin neither dared or could risk Margot's life. Nor will they harbor even the slightest bit of wishful thinking."What?"Margot was taken aback, and her face suddenly turned pale.Gabriel and Luna, who were standing nearby, both felt shocked."They poisoned us? Then why don't we feel anything at all?"Curtis said, "I don't know if only Margot was poisoned or if both of you were too. But why do you think the king allowed you to leave?"You might not feel anything yet because the poison hasn't taken effect, but if we wait until it does, I'm afraid it will be too late to save you."Ragnar wouldn't da
As long as it ensured Margot's safety, Curtis would be willing to sacrifice anything, not just the military seal but even his life.Curtis thought of this and said, "Take care and stay here. I'll send more people to look for Lena and Anthony."As she watched the dejected figure of Curtis walking away, Margot collapsed onto the couch. She was unable to express the pain she felt in her heart.Natalie noticed her reproachful behavior and sat down beside her to offer comfort. "Margot, don't overthink it. Calvin will definitely come up with another solution."Margot shook her head. "I just feel like I'm always so useless and always holding everyone back."The military seal is the only thing our father left for Calvin. If he has to hand it over because of me, he definitely won't be able to explain it to our father when they meet in the afterlife."They should never have left the hotel to go to the royal palace. It was unwise to impulsively go and find Daniel.Now that things have turn
"Daniel…" Margot called out.Geralt had no impression of who these people were. He subconsciously stepped in front of Edna to shield her, then asked in a distant tone, "Who are you people?""It's me, Margot. Don't you remember me?" Margot had tears in her eyes and her voice was choked with emotion.Geralt remained expressionless. "Margot? I don't know you.""We know you don't know who we are."Natalie also stepped forward and explained, "Curt has told us that you don't remember anything."However, the DNA test results show that you are indeed part of our family. Your name is Daniel Morris, and you are Margot's biological older brother. I am your sister-in-law.Geralt was speechless. As he looked at the two women in front of him, he still didn't want to believe what they were saying.Even though that guy named Curtis gave him the DNA report, he still refused to believe it."Stop acting like you're telling the truth. In my memory, I only recognize members of the Koronian royal f
"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
