Leaning against the window, Margot suddenly felt very uncertain about her future.If Curtis eventually divorced her to marry Tammy, what was the point of her current perseverance? Was it just because she loved him and couldn't be without him? If that were the case, the future would play out the same way it did now.In the end, she would still be abandoned by him.Hence, Margot knew she needed to start learning to be independent and strong. She had to be capable of making money without him.Since she was on a break from school and had nothing to do, she decided to go out tomorrow and look for a part-time job.As long as she had a job, she wouldn't have to see Tammy every day. In that case, her mood wouldn't be so miserable.While she thought about this, the door to her room opened. The person entering was Curtis.He was dressed in an elegant suit, exuding the charm of a mature man.Margot gave him a faint smile as she greeted, "Curt."While changing his clothes, Curtis asked,
Curtis didn't want to waste any more time with Margot. He grabbed her hand and dragged her upstairs.His grip was too strong, which made Margot stagger behind him."Curt, you're hurting me," she cried out in pain.This was the first time she saw him so furious, and his actions were so rough. He was genuinely angry.Without any sympathy, he roughly threw her into Tammy's room and pointed to the disgusting things on the bed."Do you still want to argue?" he questioned.While massaging her sore wrist, Margot looked at the things on the bed. Several large frogs were leaping around and croaking.She finally understood what was going on.So, Curtis believed that she did all of this?Feeling wronged, she turned to look at him with red eyes as she asked, "Curt, you're convinced that I did this, aren't you?""Who else could it be?" he replied, evading her question. Leaving no words, she turned and left in anger.Curtis coldly ordered, "Apologize to Tammy and never step into her roo
Opening the door, Curtis saw that Margot was still sitting on the floor.He walked over and stood in front of her as he asked, "Margot, have you realized your mistake?"All she had to do was apologize to Tammy, and he wouldn't actually keep her locked in her room without food.After all, she was still his.However, Margot didn't look up or speak.She continued hugging her knees and leaning against the edge of the bed, ignoring him completely.Seeing her stubbornness, Curtis said, "It seems you haven't reflected on your actions yet. Continue reflecting, then."With that, he left and slammed the door behind him.Margot slowly lifted her head, revealing her pale face. Her heart ached deeply. Her stomach was empty and growling.Nevertheless, she still refused to apologize.In the dining room, Curtis couldn't help but give in. He instructed Doris, "Bring her some food."Doris was feeding Tammy when she heard this.She paused for a moment and nodded. "Alright, sir."After she br
Curtis could never have imagined that Margot, who had always been an obedient girl, would one day become so unreasonable.He said furiously, "Don't test my patience."He got up from his chair and took off his belt before marching toward Margot.Margot was already in tears. She retreated when she saw what he was doing.However, before she could react, Curtis pulled her to him and bent her over the desk. He whipped her across the buttocks with the belt mercilessly.Actually, he hadn't hit her that hard. He only wanted to frighten her.Margot sobbed miserably, "How dare you hit me? This is domestic violence. I'm going to sue you.""I'm your husband. You disobeyed me first," said Curtis. He whipped her again.The blow was very soft, but it was still painful to Margot. She struggled and yelled desperately, "Curtis, I don't love you anymore. Let go of me!""It looks like you haven't learned your lesson. How dare you yell at me?" Curtis whipped her again, but he put no strength into
"When you come, your grandpa will surely pester you for great-grandchildren, so prepare yourselves," said Ashley.Curtis didn't respond. After a while, Ashley ended the call. Curtis thought about his fight with Margot earlier.How were they supposed to have children like this?He put his phone away and opened the study door.He bumped into Margot, who was walking out of the master bedroom with her luggage. He stopped in his tracks and looked at her sharply.Margot acted as if she didn't see him and walked past him with her head down. Curtis got angry and grabbed her arm.Margot tried to shake him off, but she failed. She looked up and glared at him. "Let go of me," she said."Where are you going in the middle of the night?"Curtis didn't want to waste any time on her and commanded, "Go back to your room. Follow me to the Crosby residence tomorrow."Margot said defiantly, "Why should I listen to you?""Because I'm your husband," said Curtis in a tone that brooked no argument.
Curtis was angry again. He pursed his lips and looked coldly at the unreasonable girl in front of him."Margot, you're already refusing to sleep with me?" He tried his best to control his temper.Margot said defiantly, "You can sleep with me, but kick that woman out first."Curtis was speechless. Margot refused to stop harping about Tammy.However, he owed Tammy. How could he kick her out if she was reluctant to leave?Curtis got up and glared at Margot. "Fine, I'll leave. Don't ever expect me to set foot in this room again."Curtis was furious. He slammed the door on his way out and Margot shuddered.Her heart ached as if someone had plunged a knife into it. She tried her best not to cry.She got under the blankets again and forced herself to go to sleep.The next morning, Curtis and Tammy were still the only ones at the breakfast table. Tammy felt pleased when she thought of Curtis and Margot's fight the night before.She said, "Curt, I …"Curtis cut her off. "You have to
"Find out where Margot is. Bring her back to me within half an hour no matter what," instructed Curtis."Yes, sir," his assistant replied.…It was Margot's second time visiting the Crosby residence. Her first time was the day after her engagement to Curtis.He had brought her home to meet his parents. After that, she had never set foot in the house again.In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. If it wasn't Curtis' grandfather's birthday, she might not have come.She thought the guard wouldn't recognize her, but when she went up to him holding her gift, he quickly nodded at her and hastened to greet her."Good day, Mrs. Crosby. Welcome home," said the guard. Then, he pressed a button to open the iron gates.Margot was shocked that the guard recognized her. She thanked him with a smile and hurried inside with her gift. The guard made a call to the main house and went back to his post.Margot knew that the Crosby family was the richest family in the country. The first t
It was Royce … He was the guy from Margot's university who had spent a year trying to woo her.He was the person she tried to avoid the most. What was he doing at the Crosby residence? How was he related to the Crosby family?Before Margot could regain her senses, Laura said sweetly, "Uncle Royce, I came to welcome Margot."Laura looked back at Margot while pointing at Royce. She said, "This is my uncle. He's my mother's brother. His name is Royce. What do you think? Isn't he handsome?"Margot was at a loss for words. She felt overwhelmed with disbelief as she looked into Royce's eyes.Royce also looked at Margot with shock, and they continued staring at each other. Margot couldn't believe that Royce was related to the Crosby family. On the other hand, Royce couldn't believe that the girl he had liked for a year was already married.What was more shocking was that she was married to a Crosby. There was only one son in the Crosby family—the famous Curtis Crosby.Margot was marr
