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
After an hour's drive, Margot and her 12 bodyguards arrived at the gate of a manor on the outskirts of the city.Anthony had sent her the location, which was here.When she arrived at the place, the steel gate at the manor automatically opened. Margot ordered four bodyguards to stay outside the manor and wait for her orders.Afterward, the car drove into the manor and stopped in front of the huge front yard. Before getting out of the car, Margot ordered, "Two of you will follow me out of the car while the others will wait for my orders. No matter what happens, you guys have to ensure my safety."The professional bodyguards replied in unison, "As you command, Ms. Stone."Anthony went out to meet Margot after learning about her arrival. He was dressed in a casual suit, highlighting his tall and imposing figure, and his handsome face also complemented it. He was no longer as cold and ruthless as when Margot had first met him. On the contrary, he appeared gentle and refined.Those
Anthony stopped worrying about family matters. After packing his things, he headed to the Royal Residences to find Lena, bringing her favorite street food; tacos. Lena had been waiting at the gate. When she saw Anthony step out of the car, she quickly ran up to him and took the steaming hot tacos from his hands. She took a bite, smiled at him, and said, "Having a fiance is great, whatever I want to eat, he will deliver it in no time."Anthony went to the trunk to retrieve his suitcase. Lena was puzzled as she watched him carry it over. "We're only going for a day. Why did you bring a suitcase?"Anthony gazed at the woman beside him and raised his hand to gently pat her head, his expression tinged with melancholy. "I want to take you away for a few days. We can go anywhere you want, you can pick the place."Lena frowned. "Do you mean going on a trip?""Mhmm." Anthony took her hand while he walked and pulled the suitcase toward the main gate. Lena wasn't foolish, she could tell
"I can't live without Lena in this lifetime. Wherever she is, that's where I'll be. If she's gone, I won't continue living either. If you don't believe me, Dad, you can try sending someone to harm her.""Insolent fool." Frederick was enraged again. As his breath caught his chest, he struggled with the pain searing through him. The next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Calvin hurridly forward to support him and he saw that blood was staining his father's bed. He quickly looked toward Anthony and said, "Anthony, come here! Dad had a fit from his rage. Help him catch his breath."Since Anthony knew medicine, Calvin hoped that he could help stabilize their father. However, Anthony stood still. He watched as his father, breathless, and on the verge of collapse. For a brief moment, he truly felt like letting go and doing nothing. However, due to fililal duty, he couldn't just stand by indifferently and watch his father in such a state, so he reluctantly stepped forward to hel
"Anthony, listen to me carefully. End things with her immediately. Not only that, but you must send her away. She must not step foot in Emeria ever again. If she does, don't blame me for taking her life.""Dad." Calvin hurriedly said, "Aren't you going too far? What exactly has Lena done to make you so wary of her? She's just a girl in her early twenties.""You shut up."Frederick snapped at Calvin, his anger surging as he shouted, "I entrusted the family to you when I wasn't around, and this is how you manage it? You couldn't even take care of your mother. What else can I possibly rely on you for? Hand over the military seal to me. From now on, do whatever you want, but this family is back under my control."Calvin froze as he stared at his father in disbelief. In that moment, he felt as if he no longer recongized the man before him. This wasn't the father who had once taught them so many life lessons, who had guided them with reason and wisdom. Anthony stood at the side and he
Margot explained, "I heard there used to be a rumor that Yelena's existence would lead to the downfall of the Morris family. I only know about it because Grandma mentioned it, but it's obviously just a baseless rumor. Lena has been nothing but kind to us, how could she possibly…"She couldn't believe in such rumors.Lena, despite her remarkable skills, was kind-hearted; she was always saving lives and helping others. She had also done a lot for their family. If not for Lena, Curtis' heart condition might not have improved, and Margot might still be bedridden. No matter what, they would stand by Lena's side. "What a ridiculous rumor." Natialie found it amusing. "We all know what kind of person Lena is. How could a woman like her cause the downfall of our entire family? It's simply impossible. How could Dad be so irrational and get upset over something like this?"Maybe he just called Calvin back to ask about the situation. It probably won't be anything serious."Margot tried
"What do you mean they can't be separated? If Lena is really that girl from Evans family, she cannot be with Anthony," Frederick said furiously while clutching his chest to steady his emotions. "Get Anthony back here immediately. As long as I'm still breathing, I will never agree to this. Not only that, but Yelena should not even be alive. Ask Calvin to return now!"He hadn't expected the girl rumored to destroy the Morris family would still be alive. How could she still be alive? Daniel stood still, trying to reason with him again. "Dad, can you stop being so unreasonable? Lena and Anthony are already engaged. If you step in now and cause chaos, no one in the family will have any peace."How could their father have changed so much since coming back?He used to be so reasonable, always teaching them principles of life and he would remind them that whoever inherited the military seal must priortitze the well-being of the people of Emeria. Now, it seemed like he had forgotten al
Frederick initially wasn't very interested in chatting with the viscountess.As soon as the viscountess mentioned her younger sister's marriage to his son, he immediately interrupted."Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Your sister? You have a sister?"The viscountess smiled and said, "Yes, has my younger sister's relationship with your third son not been mentioned to you by them yet?"Frederick knew that Pamela was referring to Anthony.But wasn't Anthony's girlfriend Lena?Frederick said that he still didn't quite understand some parts."Are you sure you haven't got it wrong? Anthony's girlfriend is actually that girl named Lena. What does she have to do with your little sister?"Pamela laughed and explained, "Did they really not tell you? So you don't know that Lena is my younger sister, Yelena Evans?"What was Anthony doing?Why didn't he inform his own father about such a big matter?Or could it be that there wasn't enough time?Frederick was stunned.Lena was
Frederick glared at his son, who was looking at him. "What, didn't you hear what I said?"Anthony said in a calm voice, "Got it.""How is she doing now? Where have you arranged for her to be?""Dad, don't worry, she's doing fine," Anthony continued measuring."It better be this way, because if you dare do anything to my people, you're not going to have a good time either."Frederick was stubborn. After eating a bit and losing his appetite, he put the bowls back.Seeing his son moving sluggishly, he couldn't help but impatiently snap at him, "Hurry up and get the prosthetic done for me. I'm only giving you three days. Can you do it?"Anthony put away the tape measure, feeling a bit impatient."Dad, for just three days, you might as well use a walking stick instead of getting a prosthetic. Can my prosthetic even compare to an ordinary one?"Frederick was really frustrated and smacked him on the arm."What kind of prosthetic do you have, and how long does it take?""My prosthet
"I don't understand what you mean. It was clearly your dad who insisted on being with me in the first place."Yasmine was arguing vehemently, staring at Margot with a defiant unwillingness to admit defeat.Margot laughed and said, "My dad lost a leg, and according to him, he was bedridden for a few months before he slowly recovered. How could a crippled man like him force you to do anything?""Anyway, I don't care; it was only because he wanted to do it with me that I went along with it." She continued to cry out, "You are completely heartless, you took away my child, and I will never forgive you for this."Margot was speechless.She had encountered shameless people before, but she had never seen anyone as shameless as this woman.She didn't want to waste time with her because no matter how much she explained, Yasmine would not listen.After a moment of silence, Margot sighed and said, "Take a good rest and take care of yourself. Since you took care of my dad for some time, we w
Margot, in particular, stood up and asked, "How could that be?"Calvin explained, "She said she ate a lot of cold-natured food, and when the kitchen refused to make them for her, she got upset. It's unclear whether she did it on purpose or if she just really wanted to eat those things.""Does Dad know about this?" Curtis asked.Calvin looked at him and said, "How would he know? The two aren't even together.""If Dad finds out, he'll definitely cause trouble for us again," Margot said, as she sat back with Louis.They found it frustrating how their dad seemed like a completely different person."It's fine, even if things get chaotic, it's not like we as his children will end up as enemies."Calvin reassured his sister, "Don't worry about it, we'll take care of this."Margot nodded.However, when she considered everything, she realized that Yasmine had still cared for Frederick for quite some time.She felt it was important for her to go and see how others were doing.That aft
