Curtis stopped beating around the bush and asked, "Why did she transfer 100 million dollars to you?"Natalie hesitated before replying, "Margot asked me to hold onto it for her previously. She said that it might come in handy in the future."But she's really not here with me now. You can send your men over to check if you don't believe me."Curtis fell silent. He figured that the Nelson siblings wouldn't have the capability to hack into the air traffic control data anyway.Who exactly did Margot find to help her out? How did she vanish without a trace that even his men weren't able to find her?Before Curtis ended the call, he said, "Remember to inform me if she contacted you."Naturally, he wouldn't believe in Natalie's words. He sent his men over to Cordonia to keep an eye on the Nelson siblings.Doris was done preparing food soon enough. Curtis got up and went to sit in the dining room. He looked up to the front out of habit.Back then, Curtis would always see Margot's prett
It was the first time Gabriel had seen Curtis like this. He was crying over a woman without caring for his image in front of Gabriel.Perhaps Margot really held an important place in his heart.He could understand the feeling of losing someone you love. It was just like when Natalie divorced him and left with Benjamin.Sighing, Gabriel continued to comfort him. "You should rest up. I'll send more men to help in the search. Where else could Margot go? We'll find her soon."Curtis said, "But I feel like I'll never see her again."He lay on the bed looking as white as a sheet. His bloodshot eyes were wet with unshed tears. Teardrops fell easily whenever he shut his eyes.Gabriel felt uneasy at the way Curtis was behaving.He said, "That won't happen. We'll send more men out. We'll definitely find her."Curtis said nothing more as he shut his eyes. He lay on the bed and endured the pain of losing Margot all by himself.…Somewhere on an island at faraway Emeria, Margot followed A
Anthony said, "I figured you might be bored alone, so I prepared for everything."Margot walked around the entire villa. Other than the traveling inconvenience, it was indeed very suitable for living.The vast expanse of grassland surrounding the land was perfect for children to play on. The sea, beach, and coconut grove were also nearby. She would love to live in such beautiful surroundings."I'll settle down here then, but…" Margot said before turning to smile demurely at Anthony.Anthony frowned as he looked at her sly gaze.He took the initiative and asked, "You're afraid to be alone, aren't you?"Margot replied, "How did you know?"It was mainly because this was her first time traveling far from home, and she was unfamiliar with the surroundings.Margot had placed all her trust in Anthony, whom she had not known for long but was diligently helping her out.Perhaps he should follow through and help her out to the end.Anthony said, "I'll stay here with you for a while. I
Curtis lost it after Margot disappeared for a month.He locked himself in his room and desperately took sleeping pills. He wanted to fall asleep.However, his mind was filled with Margot's face as soon as he shut his eyes. He couldn't find any rest.Curtis missed her so much he was going mad.Doris couldn't open the door to his room. She then called for a cab to the Crosby residence to get some help.Other than Martin, almost everyone else in the Crosby family left to help. When they rushed to the Royal Villa, Curtis was out cold due to overdosing on sleeping pills.His entire family rushed him to the hospital for resuscitation.Curtis was in a daze when he regained consciousness in the hospital.He muttered, "Margot… Margot…"The elders of the Crosby family surrounded Curtis at his hospital bed.They saw the way he was emaciated to the point of becoming unrecognizable in just a month's time. He was even muttering gibberish to himself. They felt heartbroken.Linda Curtis, hi
Ashley felt heartbroken as she pushed him down and said, "Don't be like this, Curtis. Margot has already left. She didn't want to be with you. That's why she aborted your child. She never actually loved you."Curtis was speechless. It wasn't like how Ashley said.He looked up at her and listlessly held onto her while explaining, "It's not like that, Mom. I was the one who drove her away, and I was also the one who secretly got her pregnant. She never stopped loving me. She thought that I had cheated on her."That's why I have to find her and explain that I did not cheat on her and never had children with another woman. Perhaps she will come back after I explain to her."Upon thinking so, Curtis ignored Ashley's obstruction. He tugged the IV patch down and forcibly got off the bed.Ashley said, "Please don't do this, Curt. You just got resuscitated from overdosing on sleeping pills. Please don't risk your life again, okay?""I'm fine," Curtis replied as he pushed Ashley away with
Margot was just about to fall asleep on one of the islands of Emeria. Suddenly, she felt as if something rattled within her heart.A flash of searing pain made her sit up. Her breathing became irregular as the discomfort grew.She couldn't ease the discomfort despite waiting it out. She then got up to get herself some water.Anthony might have heard her as he got up to knock on her door.He asked, "Are you alright, Margot?"Margot pressed on her chest as she went to open the door.She replied in discomfort, "Do you have any medicine for heartache? I don't know why, but I suddenly felt uncomfortable. I can't catch my breath.""What happened?" Anthony asked as he hurried her back to her room and sat her down. He then took her wrist over to check her pulse.Margot frowned while looking at him as she asked, "You know how to check pulses?"Anthony replied, "I know a little."He looked solemn after checking her pulse and asked, "Why is your heart beating so fast? You don't have any
Anthony woke up early the next morning to prepare breakfast. He then went to knock on Margot's room.He asked, "Are you awake, Margot?"Margot was washing up in the washroom.Her mouth was full of toothpaste foam as she replied inarticulately, "Yeah, I'm awake now."Anthony opened the door and saw that she was washing up.He asked with concern, "Are you feeling better now? Is your chest still hurting?"Margot smiled and said, "I'm feeling better today, but it's still somewhat stuffy."Anthony replied, "You should head down for breakfast after you wash up. After breakfast, you can get some fresh air outside.""Alright."Margot went downstairs after she finished washing up. She felt a little embarrassed when she saw that Anthony had already prepared breakfast.She said, "I'm sorry. I slept late last night and didn't get up to prepare breakfast."Anthony scooped some oatmeal for her. His lips were pursed as he looked at her with a solemn expression.He asked, "Can I tell you s
Curtis lay on the hospital bed in Amberville. His body was covered in tubes.He had an oxygen mask over his sunken and pale face. Beside him, the electrocardiogram ran irregularly. It was as if it might turn into a flat line anytime, announcing his death.Every member of the Curtis family was in the hospital ward. Martin's hand, which held a walking stick, trembled badly.He shouted angrily, "From today onward, Margot can never step foot into the Crosby residence anymore. As long as I'm still alive, she could never get back together with Curtis!"All of his daughters were choking with sobs beside him.They said, "Why are you saying this now, Dad? Margot is gone. Curt only became like this because he couldn't find her!""Perhaps Margot never loved Curt. She also didn't want to step foot into our house anymore.""Margot is such an ingrate! We treated her so well. What else was she not satisfied with? How could she hurt Curt like this?""I'll skin her alive if I were to see her ag
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
