Margot finally finished her vacation. The first thing she did once she got home was to find Curtis for the divorce.Margot sat in the living room of the villa. She was looking through the marriage certificate that Doris had gotten out for her.She looked at the date of the certificate and saw that she had only married Curtis for eight months.They had only been married for eight months, but so much had happened.She looked at the time. It was 7:00 pm.Margot asked Doris, "When is Curtis coming back?"Doris had just finished preparing for dinner.She looked up at Margot and replied, "I'm not sure about this. He has not been back since you've gone on your vacation. I'm not sure if he'll be back tonight either."Margot told Doris, "Then can you call him and ask him to come back? Just tell him that I have some matters to find him."Doris replied, "Alright."Before Curtis came back, Margot returned to her room to pack up her baggage.Her semester will start in a few days. She has
Margot didn't believe in Curtis' lies at all.If he could make her happy, he wouldn't have suspected that the baby she was carrying belonged to someone else and caused her miscarriage.If he could make her happy, would she be despaired to the point of jumping into the river to commit suicide?A leopard can't change its spots, after all. Men were the same in Margot's eyes.She would just take their words with a grain of salt and not believe it.Margot said, "I've already made up my mind regardless. Either you draft the divorce agreement as soon as possible so I can sign it, and we can part amicably."Or I'll make you regret it if you don't want to get a divorce with me."Margot was resolute.Curtis looked at her helplessly and said in a low voice, "Then you should show me how much I will regret it."He didn't want to discuss the matter with her anymore, so he said, "Once you're done, you should come down and have dinner."He then left the room.When Margot turned around aga
So Margot had punctured his car tires during the short time she was out?What kind of trick was this?Curtis was helpless against her. He then took out his cell phone and called Chester.He said, "Drive over and send Margot to her university."Since she didn't want him to follow along, he'd just not go then.…Margot had called for a cab online. Before Chester reached her, she had taken the cab to the university.When she dragged her suitcase to the dormitory, she realized her bed was occupied by another person.She argued angrily with the newcomer and said, "Did you not see that this is my bed? Why did you take out all my things?"The woman replied innocently, "But the professor arranged for me to sleep here?"Margot said, "But this is my bed!"Margot's former roommate rushed over just as the two of them were arguing over the matter.Quinn immediately pulled Margot over and said, "The professor indeed arranged for her to sleep in this bed, Margot."The professor said that
All of them were drunk.Chester waited until they passed out before arranging for their transport back to the university.Of course, Margot was carried by Curtis into the car.Margot's demeanor changed as soon as she was drunk. A mischievous thought crossed her mind as soon as she got into the car and saw Curtis' handsome face.She reached out to guide Curtis' chin to face herself and boldly spoke, "Hey, looking good there, handsome! How about you stay the night with me? I'll even pay you for it!"Curtis was speechless.He coldly looked at Margot beside him.He got madder when he recalled all the terms she had used to describe him earlier.Curtis wasn't willing to speak to her at all. He had a stiff and icy expression on his handsome face.Chester was driving and dared not speak. He could only glance backward occasionally from the rearview mirror.Margot was probably the only person in the world that would treat Curtis like this.Chester thought that Curtis was the same as w
Curtis remained silent, but it was evident that his patience had been maxed out.Drowning in anger, he was initially planning to pull away from Margot, who was underneath him.However, Margot was like a teasing little imp when she was taking the initiative.How could a man like him be able to resist her?Curtis finally yielded to her in a punitive manner.…It was already 12:00 pm the next day when Margot woke up.The sun was already high up.Margot rubbed her eyes sleepily as she sat up. She suddenly realized that she had nothing on her.Her eyes widened immediately as she stared down dumbfoundedly.It was more so when she had felt pain all over her body as if someone had dismantled and reassembled her.So had she … been taken advantage of by someone else last night?Margot immediately looked for her phone to call the police when she thought of it.However, she dismissed the thought of calling the police when she saw the familiar room she was in.Wasn't this her room?W
Margot was spacing out at home for the entire day.Her roommates had only woken up at noon. They called her to ask for her whereabouts and whether she was alright.Margot told them that she was fine. After she ended the call, she continued staring at the video Curtis had sent her. She was on the couch in the living room.So, she was the one that had forced herself on Curtis.It wasn't him that had taken advantage of her vulnerability.Why did she behave like this when she was drunk?If it was someone else, she would've been screwed for good!Margot rolled around on the couch angrily.She swore to never drink again in the future.Upon remembering something, she quickly took her phone and sent a message to Curtis.Margot texted, "Um … Did you put on a condom last night?"She felt extremely embarrassed when she sent the text out. She immediately cupped her burning cheeks as she anticipated Curtis' reply.Curtis was having a meeting in the room at the moment.The phone that wa
Margot busied herself eating during dinnertime. She didn't even spare Curtis, who was sitting opposite her, a glance.Curtis was expressionless, but his gaze was deep as he looked at her.He watched as she ate heartily before speaking leisurely, "From now on, you can't drink alcohol and enter bars. You also can't hang out with any other men."Margot lifted her gaze at him when she heard his words.She questioned, "Why must I listen to you?"Curtis replied, "You can only listen to me."He was back with his condescending attitude again.Margot gritted her teeth and said, "Who do you think you are? Since you don't want to divorce me, I'll head out and find other men just to spite you!"Curtis was speechless.He pursed his lips and convinced himself not to get angry with her.Margot was just in her rebellious phase. It was normal for her to want to disobey him.He had to coax her and not be forceful with her. Otherwise, it might just backfire on him.Curtis said, "You can fool
Margot returned to her room after finishing her dinner.She tossed and turned on her bed while thinking about everything Curtis had told her.Even though she found them reasonable, can relationships be forced?She was really troubled.…Margot couldn't sleep no matter how much she tossed and turned on her bed late at night.She didn't even realize it when Curtis entered her room. It wasn't until her head had moved to the end of the bed and she looked up that she saw someone above.Margot was startled and sat up with a jolt.She asked, "You … Why did you appear out of nowhere?"Margot looked alarmingly at Curtis, who stood beside her bed.Curtis had a gentle look as he said, "I can stay with you if you can't sleep. You used to like it when I hugged you to sleep."It was the same as the previous night.She had snuggled into his embrace after they were done. Not only had she fallen asleep quickly, she had a deep sleep as well.Margot's cheeks reddened when she heard his words
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
