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
Tammy quickly defended herself. "Curt, I'm such a timid person, so how could I possibly try to kill someone? I love children so much, so how could I have caused her miscarriage? She doesn't know what she's talking about!"She cried and shouted desperately, hoping to evoke even a little pity from Curtis.Curtis, who had finally discovered the truth, glared at Tammy with bloodshot eyes.Tammy orchestrated everything? How could she?Curtis felt angry as he looked at Tammy, realizing she was no longer the person she used to be."I should have realized long ago that you had something to do with Margot's incident by the river. Unfortunately, Margot neither remembered you nor me when she regained consciousness."Tammy, there was a time when I felt indebted to you and wanted to make things right. Never did I imagine you could be so cruel, causing the death of my unborn child and almost getting Margot killed as well, " said Curtis with his fists clenched.Curtis' veins bulged on his fore
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
