Chapter 4

Author: Miles of Scenery
Margot was puzzled. Who could it be?

Curiously, she headed toward the campus gates where she was greeted by a middle-aged man.

The man greeted her politely, "This way, please, Ms. Stone."

Margot followed the man to a car waiting by the roadside. The man opened the door, and Margot spotted a well-dressed lady sitting inside.

Margot didn't know who the woman was, so she remained standing and on guard.

The woman in the car said, "Come in. I'll take you out to lunch."

Margot didn't respond, so the other woman continued, "I'm Tammy Vaughn. I don't know if Curt has ever mentioned me."

Tammy …

Margot recalled seeing this name on Curtis' phone and realized this was the woman he was going to marry.

Immediately, Margot was filled with animosity against the woman. She snapped, "What are you here for?"

From her seat, Tammy regarded Margot patronizingly. "I just wanted to chat about Curt. Why? Are you afraid of me?"

"Afraid of you, a shameless mistress?"

There was no way Margot was scared of Tammy. Instead, she found Tammy's car repulsive and didn't want to get in.

Although Margot was only five feet two, she wasn't an easy person to cross.

Tammy's blood started boiling when she heard the word "mistress". So, when Margot refused to get into her car, Tammy stepped out of the car in her heels instead.

She was over five feet five and wearing heels to boot, so Tammy was almost a head taller than Margot.

Haughtily, Tammy scoffed, "You sure are a lucky orphan. You were able to attend school and even marry him. I'm surprised his family agreed to the marriage."

Margot glared at Tammy. Even if Tammy had a great figure and looks, she didn't look all that young, either.

Margot had her looks and age to her advantage, so she bravely retorted, "He married me because he cares for me. Who are you to question him and his family's judgment?"

If Margot weren't pregnant, she would have left Curtis without a second thought.

However, now that she was going to have a child, she wanted to fight back. She didn't want her child to be born without a parent.

Margot didn't want to subject her child to a fate like hers. Curtis was her only family. So, she wanted her child to have a complete family.

Tammy paled. She never thought an uneducated brat like Margot would dare to speak to her that way.

Infuriated, she stomped toward Margot.

"Did you really think you would've stood a chance if I never left?" Tammy didn't deny that Margot had doll-like good looks. However, that was all Margot had.

Tammy didn't want to argue as she would only be humiliating herself.

"Listen here, old lady. You've already left him, so you're his past, but I'm his wife. You should know better than to bother a married man."

Margot's words were like thorns prickling Tammy's skin.

Although Margot was barely in her 20s, her fierce attitude made it difficult for others to win against her.

"You—" Pissed, Tammy shot Margot a scowl. "How dare you call me 'old lady'?"

"What else should I call you?" Margot raised an eyebrow.

Tammy itched to slap Margot, but she shouldn't lose her composure. So, she held her anger back and shot, "You said you're his wife, so you should ask him why he married you.

"Besides, no matter how long I'm away, as long as I return and ask him to marry me, he'll do it."

She continued, "You, on the other hand, are nothing but a tool for his leisure."

"What did you say?"

Margot clenched her jaw, her knuckles cracking loudly.

Tammy looked away and sniggered, "I'm just here to tell you not to get too ahead of yourself. You'll always be an ugly duckling no matter how hard you try."

She turned to walk away.

Unable to stop her temper, Margot rushed forward and grabbed Tammy's hair. "You're the ugly duckling here!"

"Aargh!" Tammy cried out in pain. "How dare you touch me!"

Tammy's driver saw what was happening and rushed over to help Tammy.

Seeing this, Margot shoved Tammy away and yelled at the driver, "Try it. My husband is Curtis Crosby. Touch me, and he'll make you pay!"

The driver immediately shrunk back with his head lowered after hearing Curtis' name.

Seething, Tammy screamed at the man, "What are you waiting for? Hit her!"

The driver hesitated. "I can't. She's Mrs. Crosby."

"You useless thing!" Tammy hissed, her hair a mess. The passersby who walked past looked at her as if she were a lunatic.

Shooting Margot one last glare, Tammy swore, "You'll pay for this."

She hurriedly climbed back into her car and left.

Margot remained rooted in her spot. Now that Tammy was gone, all of her false courage had dissipated as well.

Margot staggered to a bench and sat down, struggling to breathe.

Meanwhile, back in her car, Tammy fished out her phone to give Curtis a call.

As soon as he picked up, she began to wail. "Curt, can you drop by after work? Your wife came over just now and began hitting me."

"What?"

Tammy sobbed, "I know I'm making things difficult for you, but if you didn't …"

"I'm coming over right now." Curtis still felt guilty for what he did to Tammy, so he grabbed his coat and rushed out of his office.

While walking, he dialed Margot's number. Margot, who was just about to return to campus, was surprised by the call.

After a moment of hesitation, she answered the call.

Immediately, a man's voice, filled with annoyance, rang out.

"How long do you intend to keep this up? This is an issue between the two of us, so why would you bother Tammy?

"And how could you hit her? You're taking things too far."

    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 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

    "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.
