Tammy was harshly slapped on the other side of her face. It pained her to the point of tearing up.Still, she felt unfair. She gritted her teeth and was about to shout again when she suddenly stopped herself.That was because she had noticed the man standing beside Margot.It wasn't Curtis, but the man who used to stalk Margot.So they were both in cahoots?Tammy then looked at Margot before laughing maniacally. She said, "You abducted me without Curtis knowing, right? Let me tell you this—Curtis would never let you off the hook if he knew you're treating me like this!"It was still fine if Tammy did not mention Curtis. Margot felt disgusted as soon as she did.Margot instructed the bodyguard behind her and said, "Get me a whip."She wouldn't stop whipping until Tammy became a bloodied mess.But as soon as she finished talking, Anthony chuckled lightly beside her. He said, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for a pregnant lady like you to get your hands dirty?"Margot turned to lo
Tammy observed the pure hatred on Margot's face, realizing deep down that escape from her grasp today was an impossibility. But she was unwilling to compromise.After all, she was the young lady of the Vaughn family. How could someone as noble as her be bound to slavery?Tammy quickly racked her brain as she looked for ways to save herself.Suddenly, she remembered Curtis.She then shouted at Margot, "Curtis would never forgive you if he were to know you're treating me like this, Margot! He still owed me a favor regardless. You'd better let me go now! Also, surely he wouldn't let you off the hook if he knew of your relationship with this man!"Margot couldn't be bothered to make small talk with Tammy.She coldly snorted and said, "You're about to die now, but you're still hoping that Curtis will come and save you? Dream on!"Margot gritted her teeth and ordered, "Throw her into the snake cellar now! I want to see the spectacular sight of her being wrapped around by hundreds of s
Margot felt disgusted to the point of almost throwing up when she recalled that Wendy was the one Curtis had an affair with.But she kept convincing herself not to believe in Tammy's one-sided story.Who knew if Tammy was just trying to sow discord? Margot would have to get to the bottom of things personally.Upon thinking, she took out her phone and called Doris' number. She then asked Doris for Wendy's phone number.Once Margot obtained the number, she looked up Wendy's location online. Margot managed to find her in an upscale neighborhood. She quickly looked toward Anthony and said, "Send me to this location instead."Anthony glanced at the location on her phone.He was still somewhat worried when he said, "I should send you to the hospital first."Margot replied, "There's no need. I should be fine. I'm going to this neighborhood to do something first.""Alright then," Anthony agreed to her request.He saw that her complexion was still pale. He then took a bottle of miner
Wendy realized that someone had entered the house and quickly turned around.When she saw that it was Margot, she hastily got up and stood there helplessly.Margot walked into the villa and glanced around the interior of the villa. She had a calm expression despite her heart being in turmoil.She walked into the living room and directed her icy gaze toward Wendy. She went over wordlessly and gave her a slap across her face.Wendy was shocked as she cupped her slapped cheek. She dared not say a word despite panicking. Margot asked her, "Do you know why I hit you?"Wendy lowered her head and said nothing. She knew for a fact that Curtis dearly treasured Margot. He would kill her if she hurt Margot.Wendy would rather endure this humiliation than disrespect Margot."How long have you been living here?" Margot asked when Wendy remained silent.Margot had asked the property management earlier and got to know that the property was under Curtis' name. So, there was no doubt that Cur
After Wendy finished eating, she continued to jump around in the room until she got rid of her baby.When she felt fluid seeping out from her body, she did not notify Curtis. Instead, she dialed the emergency number herself.…Margot went back home. She walked into her own room and stood in front of the bed. She finally understood why Curtis suddenly changed their bed.He must've had sex with Wendy on their old bed then, right?Did it happen during the time Margot fought with Curtis, and she stayed in the dormitory? It was likely so.Margot found it strange that she didn't lose her temper this time. She had even suppressed the urge to question him right away.It was as if everything was already the truth, and there was no need for her to verify with him anymore.Margot walked back to the living room and sat down on the couch. She found it scary that she became so quiet. She neither threw a tantrum nor settled scores with Curtis.Was she giving up on him now?Didn't Margot act
Margot did not throw a tantrum upon learning about Wendy. However, Curtis couldn't shake the feeling that her calm and understanding demeanor was out of the ordinary. He recalled that her composed attitude had always been a precursor to her departure.Curtis hugged her tightly and murmured, "Don't be like this, Margot. I know it's my fault. You can cry, you can hit me or scold me, you can even throw a tantrum at me. But just don't leave me, okay?"Margot stayed in his embrace. She slowly realized that her heart did not hurt as much anymore. Perhaps she was already feeling numb. That was fine too.She smiled before pushing him away and locking eyes with him. Then, she said, "Don't blame yourself too much. Wendy told me that you mistook her for me when you were drunk. That means you still have feelings for me."She smiled forlornly before continuing, "I also understand that you're worried that she might not be able to conceive after getting an abortion. I really don't blame you. Wh
Margot smiled softly, concealing the disgust within her heart. Despite distancing herself from him, she maintained a pleasant expression. "I forgive you. You don't have to keep apologizing to me."Observing her continued indifference, Curtis felt an even deeper ache in his heart. Nevertheless, he drew her into his embrace once more, uttering, "Give me a little more time. I'll find out the truth."Margot maintained her silence, grappling with a multitude of questions racing through her mind.What did he mean by that?What exactly was the truth?Was there something more to it when he slept with Wendy?Wendy was already pregnant with his child, and they were even planning to give birth to it.Curtis even gave her a villa to ensure proper prenatal care during her pregnancy. Could all of this be fake?Since that was the case, he no longer needed the baby in her belly, right? Finally understanding what she needed to do, Margot said, "Curtis, I'm really sleepy. Can you please let me r
Curtis glanced at the snake cellar, noticing a figure beneath the pile of snakes.Surprised, he turned to Margot beside him and questioned, "Margot, what's going on? Did you come all this way just to see this?""Don't you think it's a beautiful sight to behold?"Margot skillfully evaded his question.Curtis frowned. "What's there to see? There's a dead person in there, right?"Curtis couldn't help but wonder if Margot truly enjoyed looking at such a gruesome and terrifying scene. He couldn't make sense of it. Margot chuckled and said, "What's there to see in a dead person? You need to think outside the box! Close your eyes, and I'll give you a surprise right now."Curtis gazed at her, his expression solemn.Margot paid him no mind and raised her hand to gesture to the bodyguards. The bodyguard nearby caught on and immediately used an object to lure all those snakes away into the darkness.Afterward, the bodyguard forcefully roused Tammy.Tammy slowly regained consciousness a
