"Never mind, I'll just go back to Amberville another time.""Alright, let's start with the chicken chop," Calvin suggested.Natalie sat next to them without saying much.In her view, the only thing they needed to do was to show more care and attention to Margot in their everyday lives to ensure she felt having a family made a difference and didn't feel like she was on her own.After having chicken chop for dinner, the three of them were sitting in the living room. Anthony couldn't resist and looked at Calvin before asking, "Hey, Calvin, have you thought about what I mentioned last time? Have you discussed it with Natalie?"Calvin glanced at Natalie, nodded, and said, "Sure, arrange a time, and we'll send the military seal to the viscountess."Anthony was a bit surprised and looked at Natalie again, "Natalie, do you also agree with me doing this?"Natalie laughed, saying, "I don't mind if you use a military seal as a wedding gift to marry Lena, but you two should really think it
Anthony didn't want to keep anything from Margot.He told her honestly, "I've discussed it with Calvin. I'm using a military seal, and of course, some cash and resourcesa are also involved. But for now, please don't tell Lena. I want to surprise her later.Margot was at a loss for words. Anthony actually wanted to use a military seal to marry Lena.Wasn't the military seal the only thing that could solidify the power and status of the Morris family?Royce initially harmed Frederick because of the military seal.Now, they were not only saving Royce but also planning to hand over the military seal.Wasn't that a bit disrespectful to Frederick, who was still missing?Even though they felt they owed Lena a debt of gratitude, they believed that it was worthwhile no matter what they had to do to win Lena's favor.However, it was a military seal."Margot, is there something you'd like to say?"Anthony asked with evident hesitation in his voice.Margot snapped back to attention an
Laura clearly didn't want to say much, just furrowing her brow and gesturing towards Margot."Margot, could you please stop asking and just drive?"Margot reluctantly had to drive away.While driving, she couldn't help but glance over at Laura's injured face, feeling heartache."Let me take you to the hospital first to get checked out and see if there's any other injury.""Don't worry. It's just a superficial wound. No need to make a fuss about it."Margot had no choice but to take her home.However, she couldn't shake the worry off. She was afraid that Laura was being mistreated at university, so she tried to speak gently again, "Aunt Laura, aren't we best friends? What's been going on with you at school that you don't want to tell me about?"Laura hung her head and, after a long pause, finally said softly, "Margot, what should I do if I still like Tommy? Even though I'm no longer with him, I still think about him every day."Even though he had a girlfriend, and she knew they
Laura burst into tears of excitement.Margot pulled the car over and tried to comfort her."Calm down, Aunt Laura. We can go to Emeria next week, and then you'll be able to see your uncle."After hanging up the phone, Laura grabbed Margot's hand, both crying and laughing."Margot, I am so happy. My uncle is actually still alive; he's still alive.""Yeah, so cheer up. There's nothing you can't get through. Let's not think about other things, okay?""Alright, I'm not gonna think about it anymore. All I have in mind is returning to Emeria right now"Laura couldn't wait to see my uncle.Royce, who had just returned from where Laura was to Emeria, should have visited her at the university before heading back.Margot said, "Let's wait a few days, we'll get ready, and then we'll go attend your aunt's engagement banquet."Laura frowned, "Aunt Yelena's engagement banquet?""Yeah, your aunt and my third brother are getting engaged."Margot drove back towards home.Laura leaned back
Edna thought, "Going to Emeria for Lena's engagement banquet?"Edna wasn't someone who enjoyed crowds, nor did she like making any friends.However, Lena had previously saved Ryan, which was a huge favor to the royal family. Additionally, if she and Daniel end up together, Lena would essentially become part of the family.So, she had to go to this engagement banquet.Looking at the man sitting across from her, Edna nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."Daniel responded with a simple hum, looked at her, and continued talking."Can we go and never leave? We'll take Rosa with us and settle down there for good."After all, that was his home.This wasn't his hometown, so he was somewhat unaccustomed to living here.At the same time, Daniel looked at Rosa to see what she thought.Rosa looked at Edna.Edna was hesitant.She wasn't sure if she should settle down with Daniel in Emeria.Even now, she still didn't feel a sense of security around this man.She was afraid that re
She made plans with Curtis last night to meet at Emeria.Once he was finished with his tasks, he would probably head over there.Margot wasn't trying to rush Curtis. She just wanted him to take his time finishing up whatever he was doing and come over to the engagement banquet when he could.She didn't know that in Malova, Curtis was at a gathering when someone slipped some medicine into his food, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.At that time, Chester happened to go to the washroom.When he returned, Curtis was already lying on the dining table.The next day, when he woke up from the large bed in the hotel, his head felt groggy, as if he were under some kind of spell, and his whole body felt uncomfortable.Chester approached his bedside and gave his report,"Mr. Crosby, are we flying directly to Emeria?"Curtis previously instructed that once the contract negotiations here have been completed and signed, they would fly directly to Emeria.He was not sure if they should
Curtis glanced at the woman entering his room, his expression detached and indifferent.He did not expect the other person to dare to show up in front of him again.Was it that his previous efforts weren't enough for her?Curtis pressed his thin lips together, ready to instruct Chester to throw the person out. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his head, leaving him momentarily dazed, and he found himself speaking to Chester in an altered state."Please leave."Chester was a bit confused and asked, "Mr. Crosby, am I the one who's supposed to leave?"Curtis wanted to tell someone to get that woman out, but the words just wouldn't come out. Instead, he found himself staring blankly at Tina while meeting her gaze.Tina smiled and approached, using her mind control abilities on Curtis's mind.Making him send Chester out.Curtis truly did as she wished, turned to Chester, and snapped, "Didn't you hear me when I told you to leave?"Chester snapped back to reality, quickly nodded,
But Curtis felt his head was incredibly heavy as if weighed down by a thousand pounds.He shook his head, "I can't seem to remember. From now on, pay attention to anyone who shows up around me. No matter who it is, if you don't recognize them, don't let them come near me.""Yes, Mr. Crosby."Chester asked, "Do you need me to look into that person we just talked about?"He hadn't seen that woman before, so naturally, he didn't know who she was.If it were in the past, Curtis would definitely have him investigate it right away.However, at this moment, he inexplicably found himself saying, "Forget it. I'll rest for a bit and fly to Emeria in the afternoon.""Okay."Chester moved forward to tuck the blanket around him, even though he found it odd that Curtis seemed to forget everything that had just happened moments ago.Since he decided not to pursue the matter, it wouldn't be appropriate for him, as an assistant, to interfere further.In the afternoon, they waited for Curtis t
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
