If Zyla blamed the disappearance of Margot's daughter on Regina, Margot would hate Regina intensely.Once Margot severed ties with Regina, Zyla planned to find someone to get rid of Margot.When Margot no longer existed, Royce would stop thinking about her.And Regina would want Zyla by her side, treating her as if she were her own daughter.But Zyla also knew very well that if this matter wasn't handled properly, she would end up getting herself involved.She needed to come up with a foolproof plan.Seeing Royce disappear at the doorway, Zyla reluctantly got up and followed.After work, Curtis first visited his parents at the Crosby residence, and then he drove to the manor.While he was on his way, he suddenly received a message from a stranger."Pick up your wife from Alice Manor, or she'll be in serious danger."Curtis fixed his gaze and abruptly brought the car to a stop.He carefully read the text message, checked the number, and confirmed it was from an unknown number
Margot couldn't understand why Curtis was asking her if she was hurt.How could she get injured while staying at home?But since he was worried about her, Margot shook her head and said, "No.""That's good."Curtis put his arms around her and led her back upstairs. "Can you pack up and come stay at the Crosby residence with me?"Although Regina ust said those words, he didn't need to be bothered.Margot inherently belonged solely to Curtis.If it weren't for Calvin and Anthony, he wouldn't have allowed Margot to stay with her parents.He still remembered the incident where Margot's face was disfigured with each lash.As for preparing for Margot's wedding, he would take care of it.But now, he had to take Margot home first; staying here was making him uneasy.Margot didn't understand what Curtis meant and looked at him."Why?""My Mom misses you and Louis. It's not very convenient for me to stay here, so I hope you can come back with me."Curtis casually found an excuse.
"Carry him first, I'll go make a call."Margot clearly sensed that Curtis was somewhat unhappy.But she really wasn't in the mood for getting married right now.Curtis stepped out of the baby's room, found a quiet spot, and called his mother to discuss the engagement arrangements. He also asked Chester to start preparing the gifts tonight and deliver them first thing in the morning.Just after finishing his phone call and turning back toward the room, Curtis overheard the conversation of two servants not far away."How did Natalie get so lucky? Mrs. Morris is usually so strict, but she actually gave her a gift of 6.5 billion.""Oh my gosh, 6.5 billion! And that's not even counting the gold and silver jewelry, real estate, and luxury cars. Just imagine how wealthy Mrs. Morris is.""Yeah, I think it's a lot too. I'm really envious of that woman."Curtis suddenly froze, the thought of 6.5 billion suddenly drained the courage from him to step into the baby's room where Margot was w
"Why can't you understand how I'm feeling? I just don't have the mental space to discuss anything about marriage right now.""I told my mom to come over tomorrow to discuss the engagement."Even if they didn't get married now, the gifts needed to be given first.Otherwise, how would he have the right to stay in this house?Margot never expected Curtis to be so stubborn.She was really getting a bit angry, so she got up to avoid him."Curtis, why can't you understand what I'm saying? Why are you proposing? I haven't even agreed to it. Our daughter is still missing, how can you even think about focusing on just the two of us? "Besides, Calvin is about to marry Natalie. Are you doing this now just to show off and beat them to it?"Curtis didn't expect Margot to get angry.He held back his sadness and replied, "I was thinking we could start with the betrothal first, and then whenever you want to have the wedding, we can do it. This way, if I move in over here, it feels more officia
"Alright, please come inside."Ashley nodded and smiled at her husband, then went inside the house together with Regina.Curtis followed closely behind Margot.Following this, Chester took the gift list and instructed the bodyguards who came along with him to place the gifts inside the house in an organized manner.The elders from both families were seated solemnly in the main hall, silently observing as the betrothal gifts were being carried in one by one by the bodyguards.After arranging everything together, Chester handed the bride price list to Curtis and said softly, "Boss, everything is here."Curtis didn't look at what was on the bridal gift list and stepped forward to hand the list to Regina."Please check it over."Regina certainly wouldn't count it herself; that would seem beneath her.Moreover, she glanced at the items in front of her and saw that there was nothing particularly expensive; just a bunch of small things placed in a box.No matter how valuable those l
Succession rights to Heavenly Palace of Emeria?Heavenly Palace was Emeria's most famous landmark, which had a history spanning several centuries.It belonged to the Crosby family?Regina was very surprised.Back in the day, the Morris family had their eyes on that castle and wanted to make it their own, but they never had a justifiable reason to seize it.Since it was privately owned and they couldn't locate the owner of Heavenly Palace, they could only watch it with envy all this time, never having the chance to acquire it.It was said that Heavenly Palace contained many unique and extremely valuable items.As the most esteemed lady in Emeria, Regina never had the opportunity to go inside and admire it.She didn't expect that Heavenly Palace would be given to Margot as a wedding gift by the Crosby family.What surprised her even more was that there were not only the Heavenly Palace but also the renowned Xander Winery with a hundred-year history, the White Swan Castle, and th
Curtis still found it hard to believe.The old butler knew about the Crosby family's assets and had kept them hidden, but his parents have no idea?Since those things belong to Martin, if they were sent over as a betrothal gift, would the other relatives have no objections?Anyway, Curtis felt that there was definitely something fishy going on.He needed to go back and ask the old butler to find out exactly what was going on.Seeing that the dining room was packed with people and only he was missing, Curtis tidied up his attire and quickly joined them.……From the moment they started dining until it ended and the Crosby family left, Regina was extremely hospitable.Even Margot had never seen such a deferential demeanor from her.After watching the Crosby family's convoy depart from the main gate, Regina turned around and grasped Curtis's hand. "Curtis, my attitude was wrong earlier. Please don't take it to heart. From now on, consider yourself like a son to me. You don't need
"You don't need to explain so much. Either you go back to the Crosby residence, or you come to work with me. If you really don't want to go to the office, I'll stay at home with you. I can ask Chester to bring the documents that need to be dealt with here."No matter what, he wouldn't leave Margot's side even for a moment.Margot let out a cold laugh and stared at Curtis.She asked, "What do you mean? Are you afraid that I'll take the gifts and run away? Is that why you have to watch me all the time?"Curtis thought for a moment, took out his phone, and showed the message he received to Margot.Margot took it and looked at it.After watching it, she found it very absurd."Who sent this? How could there be any bloodshed at my home? And you believe someone's prank?"Curtis took the phone and put it away. "Better safe than sorry.""You are more important to me than my own life, so I have to be by your side 24/7."Margot was speechless.She was originally feeling angry and upset
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
