Margot was confused about what the other person was saying. She furrowed her brows and asked, "What are you talking about?" Anthony sized her up and was about to speak again when Laura ran over and said, "Anthony, please don't be so hard on my niece-in-law. She's new here and still getting used to things."Anthony's focus shifted to Laura as he asked, "What did you just call her?""Margot is my niece-in-law! She's married to Curty, and she's even expecting a baby now. Please don't be so harsh on her. You might frighten the baby inside her belly."Anthony was at a loss for words.After glancing at Margot again, he fell silent.So, she really didn't have that kind of relationship with Royce?When he realized that he might have misunderstood her, he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry. I've got it wrong."With that, he turned around and walked away.As Margot watched his retreating figure, her mind was flooded with fragmented memories.It felt as though she had seen him befor
The garden was like a maze, meandered with all sorts of twists and turns. After walking for more than ten minutes, everything suddenly opened up before them."Wow, look at that! A wall full of roses! Isn't it beautiful?" Laura exclaimed as she excitedly pointed at the roses blooming all over the wall ahead.Margot thought it was very beautiful as well.Those appeared to be Cerulia roses rather than the typical roses.The roses were a vibrant red, each one blooming with such intensity that it was difficult to refrain from reaching out and touching them.Once she saw that she had succeeded, Laura smiled mischievously and quickly ran off.Before Margot knew it, Laura had disappeared. She quickly went to look for her.She looked for her for a long time but still couldn't find her. However, she gradually felt like the garden's layout seemed quite familiar to her.It felt as if she had been there before.However, upon further reflection, she realized that there was no way she could
Margot was lying in bed, thinking about everything that had happened to her over the years. She gradually sat up from the bed once she was certain she had remembered everything.She coldly gazed at the man standing by the bed, someone who was completely unknown to her but had been responsible for her unborn child's death.Anthony also looked at the person before him. When he noticed her sudden change in demeanor, he asked with concern, "Are you feeling better now?"Margot remained silent. She avoided looking at him and tried hard to calm herself down.She couldn't risk provoking the person standing before her at that moment.He was ruthless and cold-blooded. If she questioned him about what he had done to her before, he might prevent her from leaving this place. She would seek revenge for her child, but not at that moment.She got up, wanting to leave the place.Anthony quickly reached out and held her down. "Stop moving around. The doctor said you need to rest first."Margot i
After a few hours of flying, the plane finally landed. Margot had just stepped off the plane when Curtis hurriedly approached her."Are you feeling unwell, Margot? Should we go to the hospital first?"Margot stopped in her tracks, her gaze faintly fixed on the tall figure before her. Her face was devoid of emotion, and she remained silent.Before her was the man that she had liked for many years.He was the one who had once saved her from despair and given her hope. Yet, the "Curt" she kept calling out for was also the one who had personally destroyed that hope. If it weren't for him, how could Tammy have killed her unborn child and then become so depraved as to try to kill her as well?Now that she had remembered everything, she clearly remembered how Curtis had treated her that day by the river and how Tammy had treated her as well.She would never forget the pain they both caused her for the rest of her life."Margot?" Curtis became even more worried when he noticed her sta
Curtis felt uncomfortable when he heard the word "lover". Nonetheless, he wore a calm expression as he reassured Margot, saying, "Don't get carried away with your imagination. There's no such thing."Margot scoffed, feigning indifference.At that moment, she really didn't care anymore.Tammy had already crushed her spirit, hadn't she?Now, another one had come along.It seemed like the man beside her could never change his old ways, could he?It was foolish to expect a man to change for the better. His nature was such, and it could never be changed.What she needed to do now was to catch Tammy and shred her to pieces!The contemptuous laugh from the person beside him made Curtis even more uncomfortable. He gazed at her, intending to explain himself, but he didn't know where to start.His investigation had only uncovered Tammy's link to Wendy, and that Wendy had bribed the doctor to prevent her from getting an abortion.Although these two points were enough for him to be ruthl
Margot returned to her room, locked the door, and video-called Natalie.When the other party answered, she smiled and said, "Natalie!""Hey, Margot! How have you been lately?" Natalie asked.They hadn't been in touch for quite some time, and she had gradually started to overcome the pain from her divorce.Margot nodded and said, "I'm doing fine! Where's Benjamin?" "He's at school.""Natalie, would it be possible for you to provide me with your bank account details?"Perplexed, Natalie asked, "What for?""I want to transfer some money to you so that you can help keep it for me."Natalie was still confused. "Why do you want me to help you keep the money?""I-I might visit you guys in the future, and I don't want anyone else to know. I'm worried that I won't have any money when I leave. Since I have quite a bit of money now, I want to transfer it to a safe account so that I can use it later." Margot tried hard to keep her emotions in check as she said that. She didn't want Na
On the following day, Margot returned to Crestwood University.During her free time, she went to the bank and transferred the 100 million dollars she had received into Natalie's account. She also took some time to apply for her passport.Afterward, she went about her life as usual, attending classes when she was supposed to and going home when she was supposed to.She didn't cause any more trouble over Curtis' affair with other women, and her obedient and sensible conduct brought Curtis a great sense of relief.About ten days later, Margot was in the middle of a class when she unexpectedly received a call from Anthony.As soon as class ended, she quickly found a secluded spot and returned his call.The other party asked, "Where are you now?"Margot was suspicious and answered evasively, "Did you do what I asked you to do?""Yes. Where should we meet up?"Margot was rendered speechless.In just a little over ten days, Anthony had already brought Tammy back from abroad for he
Whenever Wendy felt unhappy, she would either scold those maids or deduct their wages.Since they were all young women from rural backgrounds and had not been to school that much, they were very timid and didn't dare to stand up to her.It was similar to how she used to be. When Wendy held the whip in her hand and whipped them, they didn't dare to make a sound.Once they made a sound, they wouldn't get paid, and then they would have worked for a month for nothing.When Chester arrived, he didn't ring the doorbell. Instead, he directly entered by inputting the password.As soon as he went in, he saw Wendy wielding a whip and striking the 17 or 19-year-old women.He scowled and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"Wendy was startled upon hearing his voice. She slowly turned her head, and when she saw that it was Curtis' assistant, she subconsciously dropped the whip and smiled, saying, "Chester, why are you here? I-I was just playing a game with them."As she spoke, she hurriedl
