"Okay, I'll listen to you, Margot.""Okay, I'll wait for you at home. Remember, you have to be home before 7:00 pm.""I got it. Margot, you should go back now."Margot didn't want to delay his work. As long as he promised to go home, that was enough for her. She left the company with the lunch box.When she got home, she immediately called the people in charge of her jewelry stores in Emeria. She instructed them to sell all the jewelry stores and transfer all the money to her.Margot knew that she didn't have much money, and she knew Curtis must be in desperate need of money right now. She would give him as much as she had.Just after she hung up, Natalie called her.Natalie got straight to the point. "Margot, is Curtis okay?"Margot was very suspicious. "He's fine, why?""I saw Curtis' company on the news, being criticized by many netizens. But I'm glad that he's fine. I have some money here. Even though it won't help much, you can still transfer it to him for me."Margot wa
When she heard Curtis' words, Margot felt a sharp pain in her heart. Frowning, she looked at him with hurt eyes and said uncomfortably, "Do you really need to be so harsh?"Of course, she knew that she was no longer his wife. But even if they weren't married, she still wanted to do everything she could to help him. Why was he so ungrateful? Was his pride so important to him?Curtis had already stood up by the side of the bed, realizing that he had gone too far. He tried to explain, "I just feel that a man shouldn't use a woman's money no matter what. I know you're doing it for my own good, but I can't accept it. You go to sleep. I'm going to the company."He couldn't sleep in this situation anyway, so he might as well go to the office and keep busy.He turned around to go to the closet to change his clothes.Margot sat on the bed with a broken heart. "Curtis, do you have to do this? What time is it? You're going to the company now?"Trying to suppress the discomfort in her he
Margot believed that Curtis had the ability to get through this.Curtis just grunted and didn't say anything more as he picked up the medicine and left.Chester was still waiting outside at the door.When the two of them left the villa courtyard, it was still dark outside.Margot stood at the door and watched them go. Only after the car's figure disappeared from sight did she dejectedly close the door and return to the house.As she went upstairs, she ran into Calvin who was getting ready to go downstairs.Calvin saw that Margot's eyes were a little red, as if she hadn't slept well. Calvin asked, "Are you okay?"Margot shook her head.Calvin gestured for her to come over. "Come, I have something for you."Margot followed Calvin to his room.He took some cards out of the drawer and handed them to her. "I just found out that Curtis' company is in trouble. The total amount here is almost a hundred billion. Give it to him first."He had checked online and knew that Curtis would
Anya harbored resentment in her heart. Why was it that they were both daughters of the Crosby family, but it was Curtis' three-year-old daughter that got to inherit everything? This made her even more convinced of her husband's intentions. They must overthrow Curtis and become the dictators of Regal Enterprises, the owner of the Crosby residence.However, Anya did not know that her husband's actions would lead to the bankruptcy of Regal Enterprises, or even into debt. When Margot saw Anya coming towards her, she nodded politely and said, "Hello, Aunt Anya."She then instructed her daughter in her arms, "Lilac, greet Aunt Anya." Lilac sweetly called out, "Hello, Aunt Anya." Anya looked at the child with hatred. She wished she could kill her. Then all of the Crosby family's wealth would fall into her hands. Glancing coldly at Margot, Anya said fiercely, "What are you doing here? How do you still dare to show up at the Crosby residence?" Margot could understand her sud
Ashley took Margot's hand and said to the three women, "I know how to handle her. You have no business here. Go about your own business." "But, Ashley..." The women still wanted to say something, but Ashley didn't bother and pulled Margot away. She directly led her to her room and then let go of her hand with a serious expression, asking, "What are you here for?" With Martin seriously ill in bed and her own husband having little interest in running the company and handing it over to Curtis early on, now that the company was in trouble, her husband couldn't do much to help. As for her, as a housewife, she was even more helpless and could only sit at home and worry. Margot immediately took out a card from her pocket and handed it to Ashley. "I know the company is in a crisis. I only have a few billion here. Take it and give it to Curtis in your name."When she gave it to Curtis, he didn't want it, so she could only give it to Ashley.Ashley looked at the card handed over by M
Margot quickly threw down the phone and ran to the door. In the courtyard of the villa, Benjamin was lying motionless beside the flowerbed. Margot rushed over to pick him up and shouted anxiously, "Benjamin, wake up." When Benjamin failed to wake up, Margot noticed that the child was clutching a toy gun in his hand. Suddenly realizing something, she forcefully took away the toy gun and tossed it aside. She then picked up Benjamin and got into Natalie's car. She put her daughter in the car and quickly drove to the hospital. On the way, she called 911.When they arrived at the hospital, the medical staff quickly took the child to the emergency room on a stretcher. Margot heard a nurse say, "It's probably another child poisoned by toys." Then the door to the emergency room was closed. Margot didn't expect that the poisoning of toys from Curtis' company would affect the children around them.One can imagine how many children across the country were suffering because of
Natalie nodded. "Most likely, someone wanted to frame Curtis. But since we can both think of it, Curtis would naturally think of it as well. He should have sent someone to investigate already." If someone was framing Curtis, as long as the real culprit was found, Curtis could reduce the losses from this incident. Holding her daughter, Margot quickly asked, "Lilac, do you remember which supermarket and which clerk gave you the toy gun?" The smart girl nodded eagerly. "I remember." She had an excellent memory and naturally remembered everything. Margot immediately looked at Natalie. "Natalie, please stay with Benjamin at the hospital. I'm going out for a while." Natalie asked, "Do you want to investigate it yourself?" "I know I might not find out anything even if I go, but I just want to try." "Then go, but be careful with Lilac." "Okay." However, Margot was still too naive. By the time she arrived at the supermarket with her daughter, the employees who had distribu
"Mr. Crosby, there are more and more media downstairs, and many relatives of the victims are holding banners and making noise. What should we do now?" Since early this morning, the media had been directly targeting the headquarters. Even the top trending topics on Twitter couldn't be suppressed.The investigators sent by the higher-ups had already talked to Curtis several times.Now, all the blame was pointing towards Curtis and Chester. If things went wrong, both of them might end up in prison. In no mood to deal with the media, Curtis ordered, "Let James go and pacify them. Try to avoid conflicts with the crowd as much as possible." "Yes." After Kayle left, Curtis was about to enter the meeting room when he heard a deep voice nearby. "Curtis." Upon hearing this, Curtis turned around. When he saw that it was Calvin, he felt somewhat displeased. He knew Calvin's arrival was most likely to offer help at a critical moment. However, he and Margot were no longer husband
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
