Naturally, Sarah knew who Margot was referring to. However, there were some things that she didn't want her roommates to know just yet.Looking at Margot, Sarah said, "Let's talk outside.""Sure," Margot replied before getting up to leave.The roommates watched as both of them left. Even though they have their suspicions, they did not bother with the two. They were more interested in the luxury goods on hand.…Margot and Sarah stood by the window at the end of the dormitory corridor.Sarah was devoid of her usual quiet and introverted demeanor when she turned to face Margot. It was as if she was a different person now. She eyed Margot haughtily."I know of your identity. You're good at pretending, aren't you?" Sarah said with a cold snort.Margot disregarded it and asked, "I just wanted to know about your current relationship with Gabriel. Do the both of you meet up alone often?"Sarah smiled as she replied, "Don't you know what the relationship between Gabriel and me is? Per
Curtis replied, "I got it. I'll check with Gabriel and see what he has in mind later."Margot felt wronged on behalf of Natalie, but at the same time, she was extremely insecure.She asked, "You wouldn't be like Gabriel and mess around with other women right, Curtis?"She couldn't help but think that way. After all, Curtis had been busy recently and no longer slept at home. Even if he stayed the night, he didn't sleep with her.It wouldn't be unreasonable for her to feel insecure, right?Curtis lowered his gaze as he held onto his phone. His handsome face was expressionless. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out. That was because he was feeling guilty.Thankfully, Curtis was alone. He tried his best to hide how upset he was.He replied in a low voice, "I won't be like him. I only love you, Margot."Margot said, "Okay. How long will you be away for your business trip? I didn't feel it before this, but I find myself missing you now that we're apart."Curtis said, "I miss you
Margot called Curtis again during the night. She told him about her roommates' camping trip this weekend. She didn't think that Curtis would allow her to go.He thought it was good for her to relax. He also asked her to stay safe and send him a message when they were at their destination.Upon thinking about the camping trip, Margot realized she wouldn't be able to meet Curtis this weekend. She couldn't help but feel disappointed.…Margot and Quinn were purchasing camping tools and food in the supermarket on Friday afternoon. Suddenly, Margot got a call from Natalie.In the call, Natalie said, "It's the weekend soon, Margot. I'll come pick you up instead since Curtis is on a business trip."Margot asked Quinn to get the other tools.She then answered Natalie in an apologetic tone and said, "I forgot to tell you that I'm not going back this weekend, Natalie. I'm going camping with a few of my roommates."Natalie replied, "Oh, what a coincidence!""What do you mean?" Margot ask
They were met with the sunset when they rushed to the mountaintop campsite. The scenery was breathtaking as hues of blood-red clouds colored the sky.Margot quickly took out her camera for some photos.After taking photos, the trio started to put up the tents. Sarah, Violet, Reyna, and her boyfriend arrived shortly after.Sarah immediately spotted Natalie not far away when she got down from the car. Natalie was dressed in a simple and neat outfit.Sarah couldn't believe her eyes. It really was Gabriel's heartless wife, Natalie. She immediately felt a surge of jealousy rising within her.Did Natalie follow Margot over? She was already a married older woman, and yet she was joining a bunch of university students. Wasn't she ashamed of herself?Sarah pretended not to know Natalie. Instead, she went to take out the bags from the trunk.Margot had also seen Sarah.She neared Natalie and mumbled, "Just ignore her. We can hang out on our own."Natalie smiled and reached over to ruffl
Gabriel ignored Margot and Curtis and walked directly toward Natalie.Natalie felt that she was unlucky.She had finally dropped Benjamin off to her parents just to bring Margot out for some fresh air.Never had she thought that the very person that made her nauseated would follow along.Natalie pretended not to see him. She turned around to head back and enjoy her dinner.Gabriel saw the way she had ignored him. Despite feeling upset about it, he knew he would have plenty of opportunities throughout the next two days.He would have to let something happen between them in order to change their status quo.Gabriel then followed her and walked over to the crowd.Margot ignored Gabriel as well. She asked Curtis, who was beside her, "We're currently having dinner. Have you guys eaten?"Curtis replied, "We haven't eaten yet.""You can join us for dinner then!"Margot was afraid that her roommates might be suspicious. She purposely kept her distance from Curtis.She walked over a
Natalie had repeatedly reminded herself. The things that Gabriel and the Sawyer family had done to her were enough to disgust her. Why would she still care about him?If it dragged on for two more years, they would eventually have to divorce, whether he liked it or not. They would go their separate ways from then onward. That was why Natalie had to continue to stand firm on her principles."Curtis is asking for you, Margot."Margot had just sat down beside Natalie and hadn't even managed to talk to her yet. She could hear Gabriel's voice sounding beside her.She looked up. As there were no lights around them, she could only make out Gabriel's figure from the moonlight.Margot got up angrily and asked, "What are you doing here?"Gabriel replied, "It's none of your business."He ignored Margot and sat down beside Natalie.Natalie didn't want to be anywhere near Gabriel. She got up to leave.Gabriel grabbed her and said in a low voice, "We should talk."Natalie said, "There's
Margot walked to Curtis' side and helped him set the tent up.However, Curtis stopped her and said, "Just stand back. I'll do it.""Alright, I won't cause trouble for you then."Margot sat by the side and said, "Gabriel is so annoying! He kept making Natalie angry. You're the same! Why did you call him over? Look how unhappy Natalie is now!"Curtis looked toward the direction where Gabriel was at. He couldn't see him clearly in the dark night.He looked back at Margot and said, "I just thought I could bring him over and try to ease the tension between them. How would I know Camilla's aunt is here as well? That woman isn't easy to deal with."Sarah knew that Gabriel had a wife, and his wife was right beside them. And yet she still served Gabriel food and approached on purpose.Wasn't she clearly trying to show off toward Natalie?"Can't you tell if someone's a bitch?" Margot asked while smiling.Curtis was confused. "What do you mean?"Margot was speechless.She had thought t
Curtis said, "Even though you are students of Crestwood University, I have germaphobia. I don't like people touching my belongings nor people helping me."So you should do as you please. You don't have to worry about me."Curtis interrupted their thoughts and actions before they could even finish talking.At that moment, he distanced himself from the two women. And with his status, those who weren't familiar with him were even more hesitant in approaching him.However, once he was done boiling some water and left, Quinn muttered, "Prof. Crosby's attitude seemed to vary from person to person. Wasn't Margot helping him out earlier? Why didn't he tell her off then?""Isn't it because Margot is pretty, and they're both from wealthy families?""Whatever, it's fine if we just know our places."…Gabriel looked for Natalie around the area but couldn't find her.He suddenly remembered the tent. As there weren't many tents on the entire mountaintop, he could easily locate Natalie soo
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
