Margot woke up the next morning.When she opened her eyes, she saw a group of people standing by her bed.There were Curtis, Gabriel, Calvin, Anthony, Natalie, Benjamin, Sabrina, and a nanny holding Louis.Everyone stared at her with a serious expression.Seeing she had awakened, they all came closer with concern, "Are you alright, Margot?"With Curtis' help, Margot slowly sat up and leaned against the headboard, and looked at the surrounding people.She couldn't believe they had all deceived her, hiding the fact that her daughter was missing.Did they really think this was for her own good?Even though she still couldn't remember anything from before, learning that she had a daughter who was now missing, she felt a pain so deep it was unbearable."Everyone leave, I don't want to see anyone right now."They were all liars for helping Curtis keep it from her, treating her like a fool.She wondered why everyone knew about Curtis except for her.It turned out she and Curtis we
A group of people downstairs heard the crying so they rushed upstairs again.When they saw Margot kneeling on the ground as she held Sabrina and cried, they knew she had mistaken Sabrina for Lilac. Everyone standing nearby felt so uncomfortable that they didn't know what to say.They knew for sure that if Margot found out about Lilac, it would be very hard for her to accept.She hadn't even remembered the past yet, but just knowing that her daughter was missing already upset her so much.If she remembered the past, it was likely she'd feel even more upset and guilty.Curtis, with reddened eyes, once again stepped forward to separate Margot and Sabrina."Margot, stop. She's really not Lilac."Margot was in a state of confusion and mistook Sabrina for her dear one.She lost her composure and clung to Sabrina as she refused to let go."This is Lilac, it's her."She cried as she pushed Curtis's hand away, refusing to let him separate her from the child in her arms.At this momen
"It will be alright, everything will be alright."Curtis lowered his head to hide the sorrow on his face and met Gabriel's gaze."Well, at least I know Lilac is not dead; she is still alive in this world. I will give everything I have to find her and bring her back to Margot.""I support you." Gabriel's voice had become hoarse.When he thought about the daughter he once lost, and how his ex-wife now chose Calvin while taking Benjamin with her, he felt he had no right to feel sorry for Curtis.He was already pitiful enough himself; how could Curtis possibly compare to him?It was really impossible to stay any longer. Seeing Natalie standing side by side with Calvin, Gabriel felt a deep sense of discomfort and said, "I'll head back first. Call me if anything comes up."Curtis said, "Let's go, I'll drop you off."In the room, Natalie’s gaze followed Gabriel as he walked away.She found Gabriel to be very strange and unusually quiet lately.He was not as shameless and clingy as b
Sometimes, Anthony felt like punching Curtis.He made great efforts to help Margot forget the pain and live carefreely.However, Curtis did the opposite; he just had to mention Lilac in front of Margot.If Margot's condition didn't improve this time, Anthony believed there was no point in keeping Curtis by Margot's side.Apart from causing her pain, what else could Curtis offer to Margot?He truly despised Curtis."Why don't you all go ahead and leave first? I'll stay here with Margot," Natalie suggested.It was best not to have too many people around Margot right now, as it could easily affect her mood.Calvin understood and brought Benjamin over from the side."Benjamin, let's go."Benjamin nodded, then quietly lowered his head and left.Anthony looked at Natalie and reminded him, "Remember to let me know if anything comes up.""Okay."......Curtis had just sent Gabriel off and walked into the living room, where he saw Anthony and Calvin coming downstairs while holding
After confirming that everything was fine, he took Louis from the nanny's arms and carried him into the room.Curtis gently called out when he saw Natalie was still there. "You go ahead and take care of your things, I'll stay and keep Margot company."Natalie stood up, moved closer to him, and whispered, "But she isn't in good shape. Can you handle it on your own?"Curtis looked at Margot on the bed, who was holding Sabrina and softly humming a lullaby to put her to sleep, and felt a heart-wrenching pain.He adjusted his emotions and nodded. "Yes.""Alright, remember to call me if anything comes up."Knowing that Margot shouldn't be surrounded by too many people, Natalie thought it would be best for her to leave, especially with Curtis around.She looked at Margot with a heavy heart, who seemed dazed, and turned to leave.Curtis sat down at the bedside while holding Louis, and tried to soothe Margot, who was still hugging Sabrina tightly."Margot, look, Louis really needs you.
Curtis didn't expect Branden to pick Sabrina up so quickly.In the past, he would have been eager for Branden to take Sabrina home.But what would happen to Margot if Sabrina left now?Curtis sat down beside him and said in a serious tone, "Aren't you quite busy? Margot usually has nothing to do, so why not let Sabrina stay with us? We can arrange for a nearby kindergarten, and Margot can take care of her daily drop-offs and pick-ups."Branden looked at Curtis, chuckled lightly, and said, "Are you hinting that you can't bear to see me take my daughter away?""My wife likes her very much and doesn't want her to leave."Curtis was making a determined effort.Even though he didn't like the child's father, for Margot's sake, he had no choice.Branden leaned against the sofa, his long legs casually crossed while he watched Curtis with a playful smile."She's my daughter, after all. I can't just leave her here forever, can I? I have to take her home eventually."When Curtis noticed
Curtis noticed that she seemed a bit reluctant to face reality, so he decided to be straightforward."Sabrina's father is here to pick her up. Should we let her go with him?"Margot remained silent.Branden's father?Sabrina...In a daze, Margot snapped back to reality and swiftly grabbed Curtis."So you're saying the person inside isn't Lilac? She's Sabrina, not my daughter?"Curtis was worried that she might get too emotional, so he quickly raised his hand to hold onto her arms and nodded in agreement."Yeah. She's not Lilac.""How can it be? But I feel like she is Lilac. Curtis, are you sure she's not her?"Curtis tightly embraced her."MArgot, she's really not Lilac. We haven't found Lilac yet, but I've already sent people to search in many places. Once we find her, we'll bring her back."Hearing Curtis's confirmation once again, Margot finally came to terms with reality.She clearly remembered that Sabrina was Branden's daughter.She felt bad for Sabrina, so she took
After Sabrina and Branden left, Curtis quickly went upstairs.When he arrived at the door, he saw the nanny holding Louis. "I told you to stay with her, didn't I?"The nanny said, "She mentioned she wanted some time alone to calm down, so she asked me to take the baby out. So, here I am."Curtis still couldn't stop worrying about Margot, so he asked the nanny to leave first as he walked into the room.Lying on her side, Margot was curled up in bed and biting her fingers tightly as she tried hard to recall every little detail about her daughter.But she couldn't remember anything.If she didn't look at the photo Curtis gave her, she wouldn't even know what her daughter looked like.She felt that she was not worthy of being a mother.She was crying because she was worried her daughter would suffer while being away.Curtis walked to the bedside and saw Margot's body trembling. Feeling distressed, he reached out to touch her and gently comforted her."Don't be sad, Lilac will com
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
