"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
Margot hastily opened her mouth to explain, "I didn't betray you. The child I'm carrying is also yours. I never intended to abort the baby. It was that night...""Shut up." Curtis turned around, glaring at her with bloodshot eyes. "Come, follow me. I'll show you something." He roughly grabbed her small hand, dragging her toward the study.Caught off guard, she almost fell. However, due to her wrist being pulled, she had to follow him.In the study, Curtis rudely flung Margot down. He took a stack of photos from the desk and threw them in front of her, saying sharply, "Margot, open your eyes and look carefully. Where have I treated you unfairly? "If I didn't investigate, I didn't even know that you were so desperate to run away with him."He remarked, "You truly are an amazing partner, the one I've chosen. You managed to influence even someone like me, someone accustomed to navigating the complexities of the business world. "You've got some serious skills."Margot was spe
Margot halted abruptly, starting without turning back. "You don't trust me, so I need to find evidence to prove my innocence."Curtis found it quite amusing. He walked up and stood in front of her, peering down. "Innocent? Which of the things I just mentioned was unfair to you?"She met his gaze and retorted defiantly, "All of your words are unjust to me.""Margot, you can argue all you want, but no matter how you argue, I won't believe your nonsense anymore. "Listen to me. From now on, you stay here, and you're not allowed to go anywhere. Even if it's death, you can only die here."Through clenched teeth, he uttered each word, radiating an icy presence as if he could consume her whole. Despite his intense demeanor, she was determined to depart, but an exit seemed nonexistent.Margot, in her life, would never escape him. Not wanting to see her pitiful face again, Curtis turned and left.She stood there, watching him walk away. Her expression was dazed, and her mind was bl
Curtis looked at Tammy and said in a gentle tone, "From now on, this is your home. You can stay as long as you like, and you can ask others for anything you want. Just do whatever you want."Tammy smiled faintly as she took a seat beside Curtis. "Really?""Of course. After all, you will eventually be my wife. Anything that belongs to me will eventually be yours, too."Margot couldn't stand it anymore. She closed the book in her hand and stood up to leave.Curtis cast a cold glance at her and bellowed, "Stop right there!"Margot stopped in her tracks but couldn't bring herself to look at them.Curtis lazily instructed, "Go and make me a sandwich. I'm hungry."This was the first time he had ordered Margot to cook for him.Margot refused to do so, tears welling up as she walked upstairs.Curtis sat up and started shouting at her, "Margot, did you not hear me? I told you to make me a sandwich!"Margot ignored him and continued to walk away.Seeing that she was still defiant, Cur
Margot, who had been thrown onto the bed, felt her heart shatter into pieces.She slowly sat up, tears welling in her eyes as she gazed at the man before her."How do you want me to pay you back? Do you want my life? If you want it, I can give it to you!"She'd rather give him her life than endure his vicious torments.Since her miscarriage, he hadn't shown her an ounce of care. Instead, he reveled in tormenting and humiliating her.Was this some sort of entertainment to him?If you hate someone, you should just get rid of them!Why would you do this to them?Margot felt like she couldn't hold on any longer. If the man really wanted her dead, she would do as he wished."Is your life even worth that much?"Curtis glared at her with an icy gaze. "From now on, you'll work by my side to repay me. If you dare disobey me, I'll …"He was suddenly at a loss for words.He knew very well that if a powerless woman like her didn't obey him, he couldn't really do anything about it.How
"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
