Royce was so anxious that he quickly rushed outside. He shouted into his phone, "Anthony, if you dare to hurt her, I won't forgive you.""Don't rush. I haven't sent you the address yet. What's the hurry?"Royce stopped abruptly and asked, "Where are you now?""Answer me first. Do you want to come back with me or not?""Anthony, you can't lay a finger on her. She's Curtis'. Do you even know who Curtis Crosby is? He won't hesitate to kill you.""I don't give a damn about Curtis Crosby. But just because of this woman and your decision not to come back, I won't think twice about hurting her. "It's your call — either come back, or I'll kill her tonight."Although someone drugged and delivered Margot to Anthony, he had no idea about the mysterious sender. Anyway, since Margot was now in his custody, he saw an opportunity he couldn't ignore."Alright, I promise you. But let me make sure she gets home safely first, okay?"Royce was worried about Anthony losing control and causing h
As Royce burst into the warehouse, he hadn't even caught his breath before Anthony's men grabbed him. Struggling, his face contorted with anger, Royce barked at Anthony, "Where's Margot? Take me to her, Anthony. If you lay a finger on her, I swear I'll kill you."Anthony snorted coldly, appearing indifferent. "Relax, Royce. My focus is on you. I won't harm her."After all, he was a man with principles. Once his goal was achieved, he naturally wouldn't harm innocent people. Thinking that Royce had fallen into his hands, Anthony decided to let him see Margot for the last time. He signaled his men to take Royce into the warehouse.Margot winced as the bodyguards untied her. The moment she was freed, she went limp and slumped to the ground. Her face drained of color, and her eyes were wide with terror. She clutched her stomach in pain and weakly pleaded with the bodyguards, "Take me to the hospital, please, take me to the hospital."Before the bodyguards could react, Royce's
Margot lay on the hospital bed. Her face was drained of color, and an IV drip was attached to her hand. Despite her frailty, thoughts of her child consumed her. She tried to get up. She murmured, "Child, my child..."At that moment, Royce was seated beside her bed. He noticed she was awake and quickly stood up to comfort her. "Margot, you're awake."Realizing she couldn't move, she looked at him. "Is my child okay? Please, tell me he's fine?"Wearing a pained expression and unwilling to mask the truth, he replied, "Margot, you're still young. You'll have children again in the future.""What do you mean?" Margot stared at Royce, shocked by his words. The next moment, her eyes widened in shock, and her whole being broke down in silent torment. The shock silenced her, and the intense pain felt like internal flames, leaving her breathless. She said nothing, but the sorrow shattered her heart. Tears streamed down her cheeks.He stood beside her and looked at her with hearta
Curtis didn't know what had happened to Margot. Upon learning that she was in the hospital, he rushed there urgently.When he arrived at the hospital and headed toward Margot's hospital room, Curtis saw two men engaged in a heated argument near the ward. One of them caught his attention. It was Royce, who had been at the Crosby residence some time ago.External conflicts didn't pique Curtis' interest. After all, something had happened to Margot, and that took precedence. He needed to find out what had happened to her.As he was about to move forward, the ongoing conversation between the two men halted him in his tracks.Anthony was bleeding from his mouth and nose but persisted in asking, "Tell me, is the child in Margot's belly yours?" Royce grabbed Anthony's collar. Royce angrily confessed, "Yes, she's carrying my child. That's why I can never get along with the Morris family for the rest of my life."Anthony pushed Royce away. He wiped the blood from his lip and coldly
"Why?" Curtis couldn't comprehend it.He had treated Margot well, providing her with the best of everything. Apart from the Tammy incident, he couldn't understand where he had gone wrong.To add to the confusion, Margot claimed not to know Royce. Yet, not only did she know him, but they even had a child together. Curtis felt like he was being deceived.How could they act so recklessly right under his nose?Unable to bear the humiliation, Curtis clenched his fist. He forcefully slammed it against the nearby wall. A loud bang echoed, and the entire hospital building seemed to tremble. Blood oozed from his knuckles and dripped onto the floor.His face was dark and twisted. He stood there, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty cruelty. He regretted not killing Royce just now. After a moment of suppressing the raging emotions within him, Curtis finally opened Margot's ward door.At that moment, Margot lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Sensing someone enter, she loo
After listening to Curtis' words, Margot was left in a state of shock. It was almost unbelievable that he harbored suspicions about the child being Royce's. And he even suspected that she had taken medication to induce an abortion?She refused to accept this apparent injustice. Summoning strength from her frail body, she propped herself up, sat upright, and faced the man standing by the bed. "No, Curt, you've misunderstood. Last night, I—""Misunderstood you?" Curtis interrupted her, his face contorted with pain. Gritting his teeth, he pressed on, "Didn't I ask you before if you knew Royce, and how did you respond?"Margot was rendered speechless.He was visibly anguished. He gritted his teeth and questioned again, "Margot, I'll ask you again. Do you know Royce?"Confronted by Curtis' relentless questioning, Margot couldn't bring herself to lie again. With guilt weighing on her, she opened her mouth. "I know him, but—""Why did you deny knowing him earlier, then?" he inte
Unable to accept this betrayal, Curtis' facial expressions abruptly changed, revealing a mix of anger and pain. No one in the world dared to treat him like this. If Margot dared to challenge his bottom line so recklessly, she shouldn't blame him for being heartless.At the hospital, Margot had been lying on the bed for three full days. Her body was finally showing signs of improvement.As the nurse approached to administer the drip again, Margot couldn't help but ask, "When can I be discharged?"Glancing at Margot, the nurse replied, "You'll have to ask Mr. Crosby. As long as he hasn't given the order, you can't leave."Speechless, Margot pondered her situation. Curtis hadn't answered her calls or messages since the first day, and he hadn't visited her again. In her fragile state, having just experienced a miscarriage while carrying his child, she needed care and support. However, the person she needed the most seemed determined to ignore her.Why was fate so relentlessl
Margot followed Doris back to the Royal Villa.Since Curtis wasn't around, Margot returned to her room. She took a shower, changed clothes, savored the nutritious meal Doris had prepared, and settled on the living room couch.With her phone in hand, she persistently messaged him, but to no avail. All calls and messages went unanswered. A wave of sadness engulfed her. She stayed in the living room and waited for his return.By ten in the evening, Doris approached her. "Ms. Stone, you've just had a miscarriage, and your body needs rest. Head back to your room and get some sleep."Margot declined, stating, "I want to wait for Curt to come back.""We don't know if he'll return. It's been two days," Doris explained."He will come back," Margot insisted. Without clarification, she couldn't clear her name, causing unrest that permeated her sleep and disrupted her meals.Curtis had treated her kindly. How could she betray him? The joy of her pregnancy with his child made it unthin
"Could it be that he misses you and wants to bring you home?"Edna nodded with a smile.Natalie couldn’t help but say, "People in love are like this; they can't stand being apart for a few hours. You should head back quickly."Even though they were a married couple and already had kids.However, they might still be in the honeymoon phase.So Natalie and Margot understood the current situation between Edna and Daniel.Edna bowed her head, feeling quite embarrassed.She lowered her voice and said, "Daniel told me not to leave the room. He's coming to pick me up because it's raining outside."Her eyes were filled with joy and happiness.Margot and Natalie exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, genuinely happy for Edna.Of course, they were also relieved and pleased that Daniel had finally broken through his emotional defenses and genuinely accepted Edna.Daniel arrived half an hour later and brought a coat for Edna.He briefly greeted Natalie, checked on the two children
Louis was very happy to see his mom, sticking close to her all the time and not responding to her uncle's words at all.Margot didn't believe it for a second and left the house while holding Louis.In an instant, he caught sight of Curtis standing next to the wall.She looked at him somewhat resentfully. "What are you playing at with all this mystery? I actually thought Louis was sent by you."Curtis smiled and embraced both mother and child warmly."I wouldn't dare. If I lost the package with Louis inside, you would definitely be furious with me.""If you lose my Louis, I'm going to be really upset with you."Margot, ignoring Curtis, carried Louis into the room.Curtis followed her inside.Looking at Natalie on the bed, he smiled and said, "Congratulations! You got yourselves a pair of kids."Natalie had incredible luck; she ended up having twins, a boy and a girl, which was something that happened very rarely.Natalie responded with a smile, "Thank you, and I heard that on
Considering Frederick's current attitude toward the three brothers, sending the food personally would definitely make him angrier.So it was best for them to steer clear for now.In the dining room, four men were sitting together.Curtis rarely spent time alone with these three men, and it made him inexplicably anxious.He was worried that if he did anything they didn't like, they might "fire" him as their brother-in-law."After you resolved your brainwashing spell, there haven't been any complications, right?" Daniel asked.Curtis looked at him and said, "Not really, I've always been wearing this sachet that my daughter gave me. I've heard from Branden that it's supposed to protect me from brainwashing spells."Actually, that sachet only helped to relieve his headache.It was not to destroy the brainwashing spell.It was actually done by Branden on the sachet, using his special techniques.It was good that it got resolved.Daniel raised his beverage cup and said, "Congratul
Curtis was really taken aback. He had made a special trip from far away to see his father-in-law who had just returned, only to be met with such an unexpected attitude.However, being the junior, there was no choice but to keep smiling and continue on."Mr. Morris Senior, there's no need to get upset. It's not a big deal, and there's no need to have any unpleasantness within the family."Frederick glanced once more at Curtis, reminding himself that this was his daughter's husband, and made an effort to soften his expression."I really didn't want to have a conflict with them, but they insisted on going against me."Curtis stood nearby and cautiously began to speak, "I think you should focus on taking care of your health right now. Once they help you get the prosthetic fitted, and you're able to stand and walk, do you think they'll stop you from doing what you want?"First, Curtis came up with a temporary solution. Once the elder had calmed down over time and understood the challe
Calvin shook his head in exasperation and said, "When it comes to being self-absorbed, no one can compete with you."He asked the little kid in his arms, "Isn't that right, Louis? Are you happy to see your uncle?"Louis had a soft, fair complexion and a very adorable smile.Louis, who was quite smart, looked at Calvin with bright eyes and replied enthusiastically, though not very clearly, "Ha-happy, I feel happy to see uncle."Calvin exclaimed, "Wow, my little nephew is truly smart. You're just over a year old and already know how to respond to me.""You should think about who's the one who gave birth to him.""Heh."Seeing Curtis about to indulge in his narcissism again, Calvin glanced at him and scoffed, "You should consider who this child is born to. Don't forget, this little boy is half from the Morris family."Curtis was speechless.He didn't want to argue with him. He just stepped forward, opened the car door, and got in.Calvin carried the child and got on the bus.Th
Yuuken was terrified as he angrily shouted at Anthony, "What are you trying to do? I saved your father's life! Is this how you treat your benefactor?" Anthony was losing patience and he couldn't be bothered with any further explanations. He simply motioned to the men beside him. A group of bodyguards stepped forward and began beating Yuuken mercilessly. They struck him until he was sprawled on the ground, blood pouring from his mouth, unable to even crawl. He never imagined things would turn out this way. If he had known that returning with the Morris family would lead to such a fate, he would have taken the money he had already received and started a new life elsewhere.He looked up at Anthony and pleaded tearfully. "Mr. Morris, I know I was wrong! Please, spare me!"Anthony sat elegantly, exuding nobility, and glanced at him disdainfully. "Do you know why I had you beaten?"Yuuken thought for a moment before replying, "Is it because I wasn't satisfied even after taki
Yasmine thought about it and agreed. After all, this family seemed well-educated and reasonable. So, she relented to her brother. "Alright, you can go with him, but come back early. Later, you can take me to see it too.""Alright."After using his hand to wipe his mouth, Yuuken hurriedly walked toward Anthony and said, "Let's go, take me there now. Is the castle like the one your family lives in? Does it have lots of helpers and a butler? Are the household staff young? I don't want old women serving me"Anthony's expression darkened immediately as he turned to lead Yuuken out. His thin lips pressed into a tight line, and he chuckled coldly. "Don't worry. They're all young women in their twenties, beautiful as flowers.""Really?"Yuuken believed him and even patted Anthony on the back. "You really do get me."However, Anthony shot him a cold glare.His entire demeanor exuded icy hostility and it made Yuuken feel intimidated. He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, alright? You
Calvin would never let his sister pick up Curtis by herself. He said, "I'll go pick him up. You can go to the maternity center and spend some time with Natalie."Margot didn't argue with him and agreed. That evening, she prepared some food and went to the maternity center with Edna. In Natalie's room, seeing Edna and Margot each holding a baby, she asked worriedly, "So, in the end, that woman will be welcomed into the house?"She had heard about Frederick's situation and she was shocked. A man in his seventies was still able to have a woman carry his child... If words got out, how could his sons face the public? Did he not care about his own reputation anymore?"Judging by Dad's attitude, it seems he's determined to bring her into the house. We'll try to persuade him again."Margot didn't want Natalie to worry about family matters. She held the baby and walked over to Natalie. She changed the subject and said, "Natalie, look, this baby looks so much like you."Edna c
No matter what was said, his children ultimately wouldn't agree with him. Feeling frustrated, Frederick set down his cutleries, leaned back against the headboard, and closed his eyes. "Alright, you can leave now. I'm going to rest."Margot glanced at the barely touched food and tried to persuade him. "You should eat a little.""I can't eat. I'm full from the anger you've all given me."Margot stopped trying. She stood up and carried the tray downstairs. In the luxurious and spacious living room downstairs, the three brothers, Edna, and Lena were sitting together and discussing their father's situation, trying to figure out how to handle the Coran siblings. As Margot walked downstairs with the tray, she overheard them and said, "Dad wants us to deal with Yuuken but keep Yasmine for now."Everyone looked up at her, and Anthony was quite surprised. "Dad wants us to deal with Yuuken?""Mmhm, I told him about Yuuken's poor character, and Dad listened to me. He said you could ha
