Whenever Curtis was in a good mood, he would always be gentle and patient with Margot.When he had time before heading to the office, he would help her wash up, change clothes, and even put on her shoes.In any case, he pampered her as if she couldn't take care of herself.Having recently placed her complete trust in him, Margot experienced a heightened sense of security and happiness within her heart.After dropping off Margot at the entrance of the university, Curtis hurried off to the company.Margot glanced at the time and realized it was almost noon.As she approached the entrance, she suddenly saw the new occupant of her former dormitory room getting out of a black car that had just parked nearby.Initially, it wasn't a big deal. However, Margot accidentally caught sight of the man behind the wheel of the black car, and he seemed somewhat familiar.She quickly hid behind the large tree before her, tilted her head, and carefully scrutinized the man in the car.She was sho
That afternoon, Curtis arrived punctually at the university to pick up Margot.Margot was greeted with a bouquet of sunflowers when she entered the car. They were particularly vivid and beautiful.She accepted the bouquet and looked at Curtis with a smile. "Are these for me?"Curtis hummed in acknowledgment. "You're actually quite romantic."Seated beside him, Margot held the flowers and took a deep breath, savoring their delightful fragrance.Curtis pulled her into his arms and habitually kissed her on the forehead.Margot didn't refuse the gesture. She took out her phone and took pictures of the flowers, then took a selfie.After taking the pictures, she put away her phone and asked Curtis, "Curtis, can I ask you something?""Sure, go ahead."Curtis gazed intently at her. The woman before him was just like the bouquet of flowers in her arms, so beautiful that people couldn't bear to look away.Or perhaps he was afraid that if he looked away, she would suddenly disappear.
Despite Natalie's smile, the pain in her eyes was unmistakable and couldn't be concealed. "What could possibly be wrong with me? Don't worry, I'm fine.""But you were crying just now."Margot wondered if Gabriel really cheated on Natalie. However, it seemed impossible.Margot couldn't reconcile the image of Gabriel, a well-dressed and refined man, with the idea that he would engage in something immoral. She considered the possibility that she might be overly paranoid."I just miss my child a little bit." Natalie's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.Natalie lowered her head, trying hard to conceal the pain, but she just couldn't hide it.Margot immediately asked, "Where's your son? Did something happen to him?" Natalie shook her head and said, "He's with his grandparents.""Why don't you visit him and bring him back to live with you?""They wouldn't let me."As she thought about how her in-laws had always kept her child away from her ever since she had handed him over to
Tammy was worried that Curtis might think she was pretending, so she slashed her own neck with the fruit knife. The sharp blade glistened with fresh blood, its vivid red hue a captivating and unsettling sight.Curtis immediately raised his hand and said, "Tammy, calm down! Let's go out and have a talk, okay?"If Margot were to return and witness this, fear would undoubtedly grip her. Regardless of how he planned to handle Tammy eventually, his immediate priority was to get her out of the house."I won't leave unless you promise me that I can stay by your side.""Alright, since you want to work alongside me, I can place you in the company's secretarial department. How about that?"While speaking, he attempted to reach for the fruit knife in her hand.Tammy had no intention of hurting herself in the first place. When she saw Curtis approaching her, she didn't resist and allowed him to take the knife away.Curtis quickly grabbed a tissue and pressed it against her neck. He then d
Curtis was well aware of the reason. It was just that he couldn't believe that Gabriel would do such a thing.As Curtis looked at Margot, he said, "Margot, we shouldn't meddle in their affairs. Some things aren't really suitable for outsiders to get involved in."Margot still had some reservations about it. "I just don't get it. Natalie is the child's mother, so why do they think they can just keep him away from her?""I'm sure the grandparents just took the child away on a trip. I doubt they would prevent her from seeing him.""Why can't you understand? If Natalie could see the child, do you think she would cry or argue with Gabriel?"Margot was furious. She pulled herself away from Curtis and shouted, "Are all men so heartless? Do you even understand what a child means to a mother?"Margot's heart ached when she thought of Natalie's situation. She felt even more uncomfortable with Curtis' indifference.Curtis remained silent for a while before reaching out to pull her."Alrig
Tommy explained, "There's a program that allows you to track someone's location by inputting their phone number as long as the other party's phone isn't off.""I see. Thank you so much, Tommy!" replied Margot. "You're welcome. Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you."Margot hummed in acknowledgment. After ending the call, she promptly downloaded the location tracking program. Following that, she input Sarah's phone number.She actually managed to track down Sarah's location. It seemed like she was in a private hospital.What was Sarah doing in the hospital?Margot was curious about it. Since she had no classes that afternoon, she quickly left the university premises and took a cab to the hospital.Upon reaching the hospital, she utilized the tracking program, scanning through multiple floors in the inpatient building until she located Sarah on the 27th floor.Just as she had stepped out of the elevator and was preparing to search room by room, Margot spotted S
The workload at the company had Curtis buried in tasks. With his own affairs unresolved, he wasn't in the mood to care about others. However, Margot was in a desperate situation, so he couldn't really refuse her.In the end, he agreed to it. "Alright, I'll send someone to help you find Natalie. Margot, don't worry about it. I'm sure nothing happened to her.""Alright, then. Call me as soon as you find Natalie, okay?"Curtis agreed to it and promptly hung up the phone. He was about to call Gabriel when Chester pushed open the door and walked in.Chester greeted him and said, "Mr. Crosby, everything is set. Are we really sending Ms. Vaughn overseas?"Curtis' expression instantly turned grim.Considering Tammy's potential impact on his relationship with Margot, he had no choice but to send Tammy away.Didn't the Vaughn family emigrate a long time ago?In that case, Tammy should remain overseas for the rest of her life."Just send her away. Tell the other side that she isn't allow
Curtis was puzzled by her reaction and asked, "Margot, are you aware of something?"Margot quickly took out her phone and showed him what she had captured in the hospital.Curtis took a look and understood that it was about Gabriel keeping the bone marrow transplant between the two children a secret from Natalie.He returned Margot's phone and immediately ordered the chauffeur, "Head to the hospital now."Failing to find Natalie, they still had the option to visit the hospital to unravel the situation.However, at that moment, Curtis' phone rang. It was a call from his subordinate."Mr. Crosby, we've found Ms. Nelson. She's kneeling in front of Sawyer Manor."Curtis' expression instantly changed, and he instructed the chauffeur again, "Change of plans. Head to Sawyer Manor instead."Margot anxiously asked, "Did you find Natalie?""Yes, she's at Sawyer Manor.""Thank goodness we've found her! Let's hurry over and tell her. Maybe her child is in the hospital!"Curtis understoo
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
