Curtis' expression abruptly changed, and he rushed toward the balcony. Upon looking out, he saw a large ship anchored on the sea, accompanied by countless speedboats. They were too far away for him to discern the situation.Shortly after, a booming voice erupted from a megaphone on the large ship. "Curtis, listen up! Surrender Margot immediately, or I'll obliterate your entire island!"Upon hearing the sinister voice of a man declaring his intention to rescue Margot, Curtis was consumed by rage and fury. Without hesitation, he swiftly retrieved his phone and dialed a number.He ordered, "Find out who these people are and get rid of them!"The report came over the phone, saying, "Boss, their numbers are too overwhelming. We're simply no match for them!"Meanwhile, Margot, lying on the bed, heard the familiar voice of Anthony coming through the megaphone.He had finally arrived to rescue her.Overwhelmed with joy, Margot quickly got up and put on her clothes.Curtis, who was on t
When Anthony heard Curtis claim Margot as his woman, he sneered and said, "Curtis, if I'm not mistaken, you two divorced four years ago, right? What right do you have to keep Margot by your side when you have been unfaithful in your marriage?"Look, I don't want to hurt anyone. Just give Margot back to me, and I'll immediately leave this place. Otherwise, I'll unleash my fury on this island of yours." After spending two days searching Amberville without success, he discovered that Curtis owned an island near Emeria when he checked his assets.All the territories surrounding Emeria were under the control of the Morris family.Releasing Margot would have been in Curtis' best interest; otherwise, he was bound to face severe consequences!"It seems you know a lot about me. Why don't you tell me who you are, huh?" Curtis asked coldly.Curtis surveyed the people surrounding Margotte Isle and realized that attempting to force his way through might not work to his advantage. Moreover, A
Curtis' face twisted with rage as he growled in Margot's ear, "Margot, listen up. I'll never let you go!"Margot was frightened by his furious appearance and immediately fell silent. She looked over at Anthony, who was standing nearby.Anthony stopped in his tracks and glared coldly at Curtis. "Let go of her."Curtis raised his head and looked at Anthony before bursting into a manic laughter. "Let go of her? Anthony, what makes you think you can tell me to let go of her? Don't you know that Margot wouldn't be where she is today without me?" Curtis seethed with anger at the audacity of Anthony and Margot. What audacity they had to flaunt their love so openly before him. Did they forget his very existence?"Curtis, I'm going to count to three. If you don't let her go, I'll make you regret it."Anthony couldn't bear to let Margot suffer even the slightest grievance. Therefore, he retrieved the poisoned dart from his belt, poised to attack Curtis at any moment.Curtis remained in
Margot turned back to look at Curtis with every few steps she took. Pain gripped her chest as she saw Curtis on his knees, tears welling up in his eyes, and blood flowing from the wound on his leg.Four years had passed, yet seeing him wounded still shattered her heart. She wanted to help him, hold him in her arms, and let him know Lilac was his daughter. But she would never forget what he had done four years ago.She would never forget he had tricked her to the island and forced himself on her the day they met after four years.He loved her deeply but still hurt her feelings each time they crossed paths.She did not want to forgive him.Retracting her gaze, Margot made up her mind and boarded the ship with Anthony.Curtis' leg had been poisoned, and the pain was unbearable.He wanted to get up to stop Margot, but he could not.Lying on the ground, he watched helplessly as Anthony took Margot with him.Curtis cried at the top of his lungs, "Margot, come back! Don't leave! Ma
Anthony stared into Margot's eyes with his deep-set gaze and said, "I'm sure you know my feelings for you after being together for four years. Do you know how worried I was when you disappeared over the past few days?"From the hickeys on her neck, Anthony could tell what she and Curtis had been doing on the island these few days.He was jealous but had no right to say anything about it.He could only swallow his grief and bear with it.Guilt flickered in Margot's eyes, and she quickly looked away.Standing up, she faced the sea and tried to calm herself down before saying, "I'm sorry. I know your feelings for me, but I—""But you can't forget him, right?"Anthony snapped and stood beside her, looking at her sorrowfully, "I have no idea why you can't forget a man who cheated on you in your marriage."Anthony knew that as long as Lilac was around, Margot would never forget Curtis.Anthony didn't mind the fact that she couldn't forget Curtis. He could tolerate her having feeling
Natalie sat up and switched on the lights in the room. As she observed the emotional scene between the mother and daughter, a twinge of discomfort crept over her. Approaching with tissues in hand, she offered solace to the tearful pair."Are you alright, Margot? Did Curtis hurt you?"When Margot heard what Natalie said, the former finally let go of Lilac and raised her head to meet Natalie's gaze.Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she felt too distraught to speak.Natalie glanced at the marks on her neck and could guess what Margot had to endure during the days of her disappearance. Tenderly reaching out, she enveloped Margot in a comforting embrace, assuring her, "It's alright now. Everything will be okay now that you're back.""Natalie, I simply don't get it. He's the one who cheated on me while we were married. He got someone else pregnant and even provided that woman financial support to have that illegitimate child. We're already divorced, so why can't he just let go of
Natalie continued, "Don't stress about it any longer. It's getting late. You should rest. I'll fetch Lilac. Lilac was constantly crying for you when you were gone.""Thanks, Natalie."Expressing gratitude, Margot rose to head for a shower.By the time Natalie brought Lilac back, Margot had completed her shower and changed into her sleep attire. Eventually, all three of them settled on the same bed.Anthony came back early the next day after having taken care of everything.Upon his return, Margot was still asleep, holding Lilac. Meanwhile, Natalie was in the kitchen preparing breakfast with the chef.Spotting Natalie arranging cutlery in the dining room, Anthony asked her, "Where's Margot?"Natalie looked up and met Anthony's gaze. "She might have been too tired last night, so she's still sleeping. Just let her get some more sleep."Anthony agreed and took a seat in the dining room.After that, he gestured to Natalie and said, "You're a guest here, so you shouldn't trouble you
Learning about the need to go to the Morris residence left Margot astonished. Feeling somewhat guilty, she lowered her head to hide her reluctance. "I think I should go to the hospital then."Anthony hummed in acknowledgment. Despite feeling somewhat disappointed, he kept his emotions to himself. After lunch, he took her to the hospital.After the doctor assured Margot that there were no major issues, they prescribed some topical medications and advised her to get some rest.As they left the hospital and settled into Anthony's car, he looked at her and asked, "Is everything alright?"Margot nodded and said, "I've already said that I'm fine, but you still insisted on me getting a check-up.""Well, that's good to hear. Are you prepared to go back to my place and meet my parents?"Anthony started the car and drove away.Margot turned to him and asked, "Didn't you say that if I came to the hospital, I wouldn't have to go to your house?""What I meant was, should we go to the hospit
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
