Not long after Laura returned to the Crosby residence, Curtis received a call from the residence.On the phone, Martin shouted angrily, "Curtis, bring your wife over immediately. Right now!"Before Curtis could say anything, the other party hung up.Curtis sat in the study, looking displeased.Eventually, he stood up and walked toward Margot's room.This time, she had learned her lesson and didn't lock the door.Curtis pushed the door open and saw her curled up on the floor, hugging her knees. Her petite figure gave off a sense of loneliness and melancholy.He walked over and stood in front of her, his voice cold and commanding. "Get up and change your clothes. We're heading to the Crosby residence."Margot remained still.Curtis was getting impatient. "Do you not understand what I said, or do you want me to force you?"Margot reluctantly got up without even casting a glance at that man. She turned around and went into the dressing room to change her clothes.As she follow
"They want you to take responsibility?" Ashley speculated. Martin chided instantly, "What responsibility are they talking about? We've compensated the Vaughns with so many resources back then. What other responsibility do you need to bear?" Curtis kept his mouth shut. From a humanitarian point of view, he was supposed to be responsible. Martin knew Curtis' character well. He was the type who held to his principles. However, the daughter of the Vaughns was already infertile. How was she going to carry on the family line for the Crosby family? Martin looked at Margot. "Margot, don't blame Curt. That year, he knocked her over with his car. The accident resulted in her being infertile. Hence, she is using that to rely on Curt."Don't worry. With us here, no one else will be able to touch your place. But, the condition is that you must bear a child for us Crosbys within two years. Do you understand?" Margot hung her head low stiffly. She didn't expect the entire family to kno
"I know that you are bothered by Tammy's appearance. But it's going to be okay. She won't be able to take away what belongs to you. "Curt is a stubborn man. If it isn't someone he chose, he will not just let them stay by his side. So, don't think too much about it."You are the person that he has chosen. Stay by his side to change his viewpoint about being childless and having a child of your own. "After we pass on next time, the Crosby family will be in your hands." Margot was speechless. She kept her head down. She was truly touched by Ashley's kindness and understanding. However, the relationship between her and Curtis was already nearing the end. "Oh, Margot, you've had a tough life since you were young. You didn't have any family next to you. But know that you are a fortunate woman. "I hope that you will hold onto this marriage and work on it well. Don't give up so easily on something that you already have. Otherwise, you might regret it in the future." After all,
Curtis watched as he stood a short distance away. A wave of anger came over him. "Is there no space in this big house for you to sleep, Margot?"Margot was lying on her side, with her back against him. She pulled the throw blanket over herself and ignored him. He walked to her front and stood there. He growled."Who are you trying to avoid like this? Do you think I will still touch you?" Margot was very irritated. She sat up and met his gaze. "I just like to sleep on the floor. Do you have a problem with that?" She wasn't familiar with this place. Since this was the place that Ashley led her to, this was where she was going to spend the night. She didn't know that Curtis would come in, too. Now that the situation had come to this for them both, they were certainly not going to share the same bed anymore. What was wrong with her letting him sleep on the bed? "Fine. Go ahead and sleep on the floor if that's what you like. Sleep all you want. No one's going to bother y
It was the next day. Margot woke up to find that there was no one beside her.When she sat up, she noticed that Curtis had fallen asleep on the sofa out on the balcony. All of a sudden, she felt miserable. She didn't think that he really hated her that much. He was someone who once loved to hug her once he returned home. Notably, when they were going to sleep, he used to cling to her while saying that she smelled good. But now, he was someone who would rather sleep on a narrow sofa than be in the same bed as her. Margot felt as if her heart was being stabbed and punched a thousand times. Quietly, she got off the bed to wash up. Curtis had always been a light sleeper. He was awoken, perhaps by the sound of running water from the bathroom. He took a glance at the big bed in front of him and saw that there was no one there. Then, he took a look at the watch on his wrist. It was half past six. He, too, got up to go wash up. The moment he pushed the bathroom door open
"Now, you want me to pay off this debt. I am not going to do that. At most, I'll return the clothing and the knowledge I've learned to you."He only knew how to make her suffer. She could forget about his distrust of her. But she was not going to bow down to capitalism if he wanted to keep her as a slave by his side. "So, it was wrong for me to sponsor your studies, Margot?" Curtis didn't expect her to use such a lame excuse. No matter how much she tried to reject it, she had to pay back what she owed for the rest of her life. "Either way, I'm not signing that." Margot threw the contract aside and turned to look out the car window. Curtis looked at the contract that was thrown aside and held back the anger inside him. He pursed his lips and said, "Either you sign off on this contract, and we'll get divorced, or our marriage will keep dragging on." He stared at her. "You're probably itching to leave me and then pay Royce a visit at his grave, aren't you?" Margot didn'
Chester conveyed all that he needed to Margot. Next, he led her to the door of Curtis' office. He instructed a secretary to prepare a seat by the side of Curtis' work desk. Curtis wasn't in his office. Chester brought Margot in and pointed at the seat next to Curtis' executive chair. "This is your seat moving forward. Please do your assigned job well," he said. Margot was very reluctant, but she agreed. Before Chester left, he gave her a slight smile and said, "All the best. Feel free to call me if you face any difficulties." "Sure."When Chester walked out of the office, the secretaries who had just arrived at work gathered around him. They asked, "What's happening, Chester? How is that woman related to Mr. Crosby?"They had seen Margot before. They even witnessed Curtis hugging her. Everyone was speculating if she was indeed Curtis' girlfriend. Chester looked at the secretaries around him and reminded them, "If it's not for you all to find out, don't ask. Don't ask
"Wow, you've grown so much! How nice, we'll be neighbors from now on, so we can play together often." She hugged Margot and went inside. Margot was very excited, looking at the mature and pretty lady beside her. She couldn't help but feel a bit choked up. "Is it really you, Natalie? Where have you been all these years? I couldn't reach you at all."Especially after high school graduation, she wanted to thank Natalie for her past kindness, but she couldn't reach her by phone. She asked Curt, but Curt also said he had no idea.Margot knew that Natalie and Curt were friends. If Curt doesn't know where Natalie is, how can she find her?"A few things happened in these years, and I was abroad. But now I'm not leaving anymore. Come on, let's go to the backyard for a barbeque." Natalie held Margot's hand and walked through the villa towards the backyard. Standing at the backyard gate, Margot suddenly let go of Natalie's hand. She let go of Natalie's hand because she saw Tamm
"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
