Curtis felt guilty facing Margot's questioning. Even though he did not read the message, he knew it was from Wendy.He couldn't come up with any excuse.He replied haughtily, "You should go to sleep."Margot saw that he was about to leave. She quickly got down from the bed to block him at the door.She looked at him and shouted angrily, "Don't you dare go anywhere else tonight! Explain why exactly you deleted the message! Who's that person? Have you been cheating on me all this while?"Curtis tried his best to calm himself.He pursed his lips and replied emotionlessly, "Don't overthink, Margot. I didn't cheat on you. The message contained confidential information. That's why I couldn't let you know. It's getting late. You should rest."He reached over to pull her away, but Margot refused to budge and continued to block his exit.She said, "You're also aware it's getting late, so why are you going out now? You don't have to admit it, but I know you're having an affair, Curtis. D
Annoyed, Curtis slammed his fist angrily on the steering wheel. He spent the night in his car.Upon remembering that Margot was now pregnant, he drove back home during the day. He walked to the room to check on her.Margot was curled up on the bed. She was biting on her finger as she stared blankly at a corner.Curtis stood by the bed and saw that she was awake.He said, "I've called in sick for you. You don't need to go back to the university during this time. You can stay at home and rest up."Margot ignored him. Curtis saw that she seemed alright. He then went to wash himself up.He went down for breakfast after he was done washing up.He instructed Doris and said, "Take care of Margot. Don't let her go out during this time."Doris seemed confused and asked, "Not even for her classes?"Curtis replied, "She won't be attending them."He ate a little before getting up to leave.Doris saw that Margot had not come down the entire morning. She then brought breakfast up for her.
Margot did not panic even when she heard Curtis. She didn't bother lifting her head as she ignored his existence entirely. She scrolled through her phone as she sat beside the bed.Curtis walked over to her and asked condescendingly, "You want to divorce again? You're even getting someone to investigate me now?"Margot remained silent. Didn't he say that she kept acting up? She definitely wouldn't throw a tantrum at him this time now.Once she obtained the evidence, she would file for divorce and split the assets.She would go and look for Natalie with that money. She could also give birth and raise her baby on her own. Who said she wanted to stay by Curtis' side?"I'm asking you questions now. Do you not trust me at all?" Curtis shouted in anger.Margot could only feel her heart clenching in pain. She wanted to put on a strong front, but tears kept welling up in her eyes.Still, she refused to look up at him nor talk to him.Curtis continued, "If you really wanted to divorce,
Ashley glanced at Curtis.She then went upstairs while mumbling, "You're almost 31 years old now, yet you can't even take good care of your own wife. I'll deal with you later if she's unhappy and my grandchild is affected!"Ashley maintained her friendly expression as she walked into Margot's room.Her voice was gentle, and she asked, "Are you asleep, Margot?"Margot never thought that Ashley would come over.She immediately got up to greet her politely, "Hello, Ashley."Ashley replied, "Hello. I heard that you weren't feeling your best recently. Are you alright?"Margot nodded her head.Ashley passed her a coat to wear and said, "Come and stay in the Crosby residence with me for a few days. Let's not deal with Curtis for now."Margot was speechless. Was Ashley bringing her over to the Crosby residence?If she left, wouldn't Curtis have more time to spend with the other woman? Did he purposely send her away?Margot didn't want to leave, but she couldn't refuse Ashley. She ha
Margot soon ended the video call with Laura. Her mind kept thinking about the name "Zyla Morris".When she finally fell asleep, she had an extremely weird dream.In her dream, Margot was in a grandiose palace. She was blindfolded with a strip of cloth. She kept hearing the gentle voices of young boys around her.A voice said, "Zyla, I'm here!"Another shouted, "I'm behind you, Zyla!"Someone called, "Let's stop playing, Zyla. He's coming over!"Upon hearing those words, the three-year-old girl took down the blindfold. She was standing in the middle of the main hall.She didn't know why she was surrounded by a blinding white light. She couldn't see anything at all. She could only hear them calling for her."Zyla…""Zyla?""Come out now, Zyla. Let's stop playing hide-and-seek now!""If you don't come out now, he's going to punish you!""Wait…" the girl called out in a childish voice.She walked toward the blinding white light in hopes of catching up with her brothers.Howev
Ashley smiled and said, "We're flying with a private plane. We can have those documents sorted out later. Besides, Pamela's part of the Emeria royalty. We have the privilege to do away with applying for a visa."Margot replied, "Oh."Never had she thought that Royce would have such a noble identity. Being a descendant of the Emeria royalty sounded impressive.Ashley saw that Margot had agreed to it. She immediately got someone to arrange for them to fly to Emeria that afternoon.…At that moment, Chester pushed open the door to the president's office in Regal Enterprises. He walked in and handed a set of documents over to Curtis.Chester then reported, "I've found out that there's something fishy with Wendy's call records. She would occasionally contact an overseas number."I've gotten someone to investigate the number's location. It belongs to Ms. Vaughn."Curtis, who had been busy working on the computer, looked up at Chester and asked, "Tammy?"Chester replied, "Yes. There
Margot and Ashley stayed in the Evans residence upon Pamela's arrangement.The architecture here was different from the modern splendor of Amberville. Its grandeur gave out an ancient and solemn feeling.Perhaps it was due to Margot's pregnancy that she had felt tired.She was arranged to stay in an exquisite big room. She didn't know how long she had slept. It was only when she vaguely felt someone beside her that she woke up.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Laura's bright and childish face smiling at her.Margot felt embarrassed as she sat up.She reached over to ruffle Laura's hair and said, "Long time no see, Laura."Laura said sweetly, "It's been a while. Get up soon. I'll bring you down to eat!""Alright," Margot replied before getting up and getting dressed.Laura took her hand and led her out of the room to a vast and splendid dining hall. A young man dressed in an intricate and ornate attire was standing in the dining hall.Looking at his figure, Margot wonde
Laura sounded as if she were speaking about the mafia.Margot wasn't interested in the Morris family matters.She got up and said, "Didn't you say you'll bring me around, Laura? Let's go!"Laura immediately pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, Margot, I still need to practice the piano. I'll ask Uncle Royce to bring you around, okay?"Margot was about to reject the offer.Royce immediately got up and said, "You're our guest, Margot. Let me do the honors. Laura might not know as much since she's still young. I'll bring you around so that you can learn about our local customs and culture here."Margot figured that Royce should've stopped his wistful thinking toward her now that he was about to get engaged.She nodded and agreed, "Alright then.""Come with me, Margot," Royce said as he bowed in a gentlemanly manner.Both of them left the palace in a sports car. Royce was the one driving.He drove slowly in order to let Margot have a look around. He even explained to her about 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
