In an instant, Margot panicked. She asked timidly, "Who are you guys? Why are you stalking me?"She was positive that she didn't know any of them. Anthony Morris stepped forward and stopped a few feet away from her. His brows were furrowed as he glared at her. "Our identities don't matter. I just want to warn you, leave Royce alone. If I see you with Royce again, don't blame me if something happens to you."Margot was puzzled. She asked, "I don't even know Royce that well. Is there a misunderstanding?""You yourself know best. Leave Royce alone if you don't want to get into trouble."Anthony wasn't really planning to do anything to her either. After he warned her, he signaled the other two men to leave with him. Only Margot was left on the spot, utterly perplexed. Meanwhile in the distance, Tammy happened to see the three men surrounding and talking to Margot. After snapping a picture, she saw they didn't actually do anything to her. Thus, she hurriedly caught up to them af
Margot was furious. She was itching to beat Tammy up. However, her rationale held her back. She was aware that violence wasn't the solution to the problem. Instead, she would get herself in trouble. Nonetheless, it was hard for her to hold back when she saw how smug Tammy was. With a hardened expression, she leaned into Tammy forcefully. She hissed. "Is that so? If I can't even satisfy him, I think you'd be worse. I bet he wasn't even aroused by you.Tammy, you've underestimated how well I know Curt. He's only nice to you because he felt guilty toward you. It was because of him that you became infertile.Despite how nice he is to you, he'll never cheat on me. That's his principle. So don't you ever brag in front of me. Not only would I not feel provoked at all, you also make yourself look dumb and pathetic."Tammy had no right to brag about her sex life with Curtis. She had no idea how Margot spent every night with him before Tammy showed up. Tammy was dumbfounded. The expressio
Royce continued to inquire, "Who's the bitch that Laura mentioned?""No one, just an insignificant person."Laura immediately countered, "How can she be insignificant? She hit me before. Margot, tell Uncle Royce who she is. I want Uncle Royce to teach her a lesson and knock her teeth out."Margot had no other choice but to inform Royce. "That person is called Tammy, but don't get involved with her. She is protected by someone. I have to go now."Not daring to linger with Royce any longer, Margot hailed a taxi and left by the roadside.Royce stood there and observed Margot with a heavy-hearted expression. He felt somewhat uneasy.Even though he didn't know why Margot married Curtis, from her current state, it seemed like she was not doing well.Royce gestured to Laura beside him and said, "Get in, Laura.""Okay."After she got in the car, Royce asked again, "Laura, tell me, what happened these past two days when you were living with Curtis?"Laura, with no particular concern,
Margot quickly hung up the phone as she feared Curtis would scold her again.She didn't leave but sat and eagerly watched the company building, waiting for Curtis to finish work.Inside the CEO's office, Curtis felt frustrated as he stared at the disconnected line. That woman was becoming more and more unruly. Not only was she challenging him, but she even got angry and threatened him. It seemed she needed to be taught a lesson about who she was dealing with.Curtis closed the files and put the pen away before he called out, "Come in." Chester immediately entered. "Mr. Crosby.""Find a nanny on the younger side and send her to Tammy's residence. Make sure the nanny takes care of her 24 hours a day," Curtis instructed."Understood." Chester nodded.After Chester left, Curtis got up, grabbed his coat, and departed.Curtis was dressed in a vest and a shirt, with a suit jacket draped over his arm. He walked out of the company building with an imposing demeanor.At the company e
Wasn't this tormenting for both of them?"Margot, listen. I don't care about anything you do. I'm the one who's in charge of everything in your life. Even if we get divorced someday, you have to obediently follow the life path I have set for you," Curtis stated coldly.Margot was young and naive with a simple nature. She didn't fully grasp situations.If she left the city, who knew what kind of trouble she might encounter? After all, she was the one he saved. Naturally, he felt responsible to protect her for the rest of her life.Margot got infuriated upon hearing this. She distanced herself from him. She felt as if there was something heavy in her chest, rendering her speechless.Curtis ignored her.At that moment, his phone rang.He glanced at the caller ID and realized it was Tammy.He answered the call.Tammy's voice on the other end was unusually gentle as she said, "Curtis, I feel like having salad today. Can you buy some vegetables from the supermarket downstairs when
Margot believed she had shown significant self-control.Apart from shedding a few tears, she had refrained from sobbing or causing a scene. Yet, despite her efforts, Curtis seemed unsatisfied. She sat quietly beside him as the driver took him to Tammy's residence and then dropped her home.When Curtis got out of the car, he instructed the driver, "Make sure she gets home, no stops on the way.""Got it, Boss." The driver acknowledged.In reality, Margot didn't have any intention to leave during the journey.When she reached home, she calmly went into Curtis' study room.Unaware of where he had placed the divorce agreement for her signature, she found a template online and printed two copies.The divorce agreement was quite straightforward, and she also requested nothing, neither alimony nor property. After signing the documents, she placed them in an envelope and went back to her room to pack her belongings.The truth was, she didn't want to leave at all.She didn't want
"Royce, I'm already married. And I've told you from the beginning that I don't like you."Royce shouldn't waste his time on her.She wasn't worth it.Curtis saved her and gave her a comfortable life all these years.Her entire heart belonged to Curtis. Even if they divorce and never see each other again, she could never forget him."I know. But I can't let go, Margot. You love your Curtis, and I love my Margot. These two things are not mutually exclusive." Royce replied as he wore a desolate smile. Everyone said that Royce was carefree and debonair. However, no one knew how painful it was for him to be unable to get what he desired, especially after learning that the woman he loved was already married. He could refrain from interfering with her marriage, but he couldn't bear to see her unhappy.He lifted his slender arm, intending to touch her tear-stained cheek, but Margot coldly avoided it. "I don't care if you're following me, but I don't want to be with you, and I d
Margot had long left the bustling city, and there was no way Chester could bring her back within an hour. In fact, he couldn't accomplish the task even if he had a night. Curtis sat on the living room sofa. He gripped his phone tightly, radiating a formidable aura with veins bulging at his forehead.Doris stood nearby, not daring to make a sound.After a while, the phone rang. Curtis, thinking it was his assistant, answered it reflexively. To his surprise, it was Tammy's voice on the other end. "Curt, why haven't you come back yet tonight?"Still consumed by anger and preoccupied with Margot, Curtis impatiently responded, "I have something to attend to today and can't make it."Tammy, wanting to voice her complaints, began, "But...""Tammy, I'll repay what I owe you, but if you keep pushing me, don't blame me for changing my attitude toward you," he said sternly as he cut her off abruptly.His mind was in turmoil, dominated by thoughts of Margot. He couldn't fathom why he fel
