When Margot heard that, she lifted her head and glared at Curtis."Do you think I'd fall for that? Curtis, let me make this clear to you. Even if all the men in the world were dead, I still wouldn't reconcile with you!""Then you can let him die. I'll have the doctor cut off his oxygen supply now."Curtis was a man of his word. He stood with his head held high and barked fiercely, "Hey!"A doctor in a white coat hurried over and greeted courteously, "Mr. Crosby.""Go cut off the oxygen supply for the man inside this room. Cremate his body after he dies."The doctor was going to obey his orders, but Margot was startled into action. She put herself in front of the door and glared at Curtis."Don't you dare!" shouted Margot. "If you cut off his oxygen supply, I will kill you with my own hands."Curtis ignored her empty threats. He sneered and narrowed his eyes at her."It's not like I didn't give you a choice. You can save him. As long as you return to my side and stop arguing wi
After hanging up, Margot rushed to the hospital's entrance to meet with Natalie.Margot scanned her surroundings. As suspected, she caught someone spying on her from some distance away. She knew that was the guy Curtis sent to keep an eye on her, so she wasn't bothered.She waited approximately 30 minutes before a luxurious black car stopped in front of her.Before Margot could confirm whether the person inside the car was the one she was waiting for, the car door swung open from the inside, and Natalie emerged from within.She stepped forward and held Margot's hand excitedly. "I've got a surprise for you," said Natalie.Margot was about to ask what that surprise was when she saw another person exiting the car.That was someone she didn't want to meet.Calvin could never even have imagined that Margot was the one Natalie brought him to meet. He got a little annoyed with that. He turned to Natalie and complained, "I'm busy, Ms. Nelson, so will you please take me to my sister righ
Margot shouted, "What rights do you have to yell at me now? So what if I don't admit to it? That daughter of the Morris family that you knew is long dead! I'm not her! I'll never see eye to eye with that family of yours!"The truth was out now, even though she was reluctant to admit it. Why should she run away from it?Margot should let Regina know that she was the one who gave birth to a lowborn pleb like Margot in the first place.So, who exactly was the one who was unworthy of stepping into the Morris family now?Calvin was speechless. He stumbled back in disbelief upon hearing Margot's words.He couldn't believe that Margot, now disfigured, was actually his biological sister whom they had been looking for over the past 20 years.He refused to believe that she had gotten together with Anthony and even had a daughter with him. Regina had even left her all bruised and battered.Calvin was at a loss on what he should do now."You're just in time. Anthony is now in the hospital.
Lilac was Curtis' daughter?Natalie stared at Margot in shock.So, Margot had never aborted her baby back then. She had never fallen for Anthony as well.Did Margot keep Curtis' baby because she still had feelings for him? That must have been what happened then.Natalie couldn't believe that Margot would keep even her in the dark, but she did not hold it against her.She felt distressed seeing the wound on Margot's face. She then wordlessly pulled Margot into her embrace.Natalie knew that Margot must have suffered so much grievance during that time. She thought it would be good to hold onto Margot so that she could feel comforted even for the slightest.Margot did not resist Natalie's embrace. It was as if all her grievance and hurt had turned into tears. She did not make a sound, but tears wouldn't stop streaming down her cheeks.Natalie reached over to wipe her tears away. Her hug tightened as she said, "Just let it all out. Everything will be fine after this."Margot quick
Early the next morning, Lilac noticed that Margot was not beside her when she woke up. She got down from the bed to put on her shoes. She then headed out to look for Margot.She was curious when she saw Margot sleeping in the other bedroom. Natalie was also sleeping beside her. She wondered when Natalie had come over to their house.Upon seeing that both Margot and Natalie were still asleep, Lilac did not wake them up. She sensibly walked out to prepare breakfast.The doorbell rang just as she was walking out to the living room.Lilac ran to the entrance. Since she was too short, she couldn't reach the peephole to look out from the door.She then pressed herself against the door and cautiously shouted, "Who's that? Who are you looking for?"Curtis could hear Lilac's voice from the outside. He then replied softly, "It's me."Lilac could tell that the voice belonged to Curtis. She pursed her lips and turned around, running over to grab a broom. She then ran back to open the door w
Natalie didn't expect Curtis to be so irrationally stubborn.To him, Margot already had a child with Anthony. Not only did he not give up, he had hurt Anthony and even wanted to stake Margot as his own.How could such an unreasonable person exist?Natalie couldn't help but get angry.She looked at him and asked, "Do you know how you're hurting Margot by acting like this? You can't just live in your own world, Curtis. You have to consider the feelings of others, too. Margot is a person. She's not your accessory!""I know! But I can't live without her," Curtis replied as he lowered his head with a dimmed expression.He knew fully well that he was going too far. But Margot would leave him if he didn't do all this.In the past four years that she was away, it was only during the two years when he was unconscious that he couldn't feel anything. Days felt like years for him after he regained consciousness.Curtis had also wanted to treat Margot well, but she refused to listen to him.
Margot interrupted Natalie and brought Lilac to the bath, saying, "I won't go back to him."Calvin would take care of Anthony after learning of his hospitalization anyway. With Anthony out of the picture, Margot no longer needed to fear Curtis. …Upon returning to Emeria, Calvin quickly headed to the villa where Margot once lived. Then, he took her belongings and went to the hospital for a DNA test. The results came out within a few hours as Calvin instructed the staff to administer the test immediately. His eyes turned red and watery once again upon seeing the results. Without wasting any time, Calvin took the DNA test results and went home.Only three people in the Morris family knew that their daughter had gone missing—Frederick, Calvin, and Daniel.Everyone was upset to learn of her disappearance. Regina was so heartbroken that she fell seriously ill. Frederick secretly adopted a little girl from the orphanage to aid Regina's recovery. She was of similar age and bore
The shocking news from Calvin left Regina speechless, as if she'd just been struck by lightning. Her mind went blank.After a long while, Regina turned to Frederick and Calvin, her eyes empty and distant. She couldn't bring herself to accept the truth."Nonsense! My daughter has never left my side. Zyla has been accompanying me every day. How could she not be my biological daughter?"Did Margot hypnotize you? Why are all of you siding with her? Calvin, didn't I ask you to kill her? Why haven't you done it?""Mom, Margot Stone is really your biological daughter. The DNA test is the best evidence to prove that. Look, here it is," Calvin said, squeezing Regina's hand as he tried his best to explain.He took the DNA test report from Frederick and handed it to his mother.Regina snatched the report and saw that it confirmed "Frederick Morris" and "Margot Stone" as father and daughter.She was so shocked by the results that she hurled the report aside and staggered backward. Finally,
