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
Their car had just arrived at the entrance when they ran into Royce and Zyla.The two cars collided head-on.Margot stuck her head out of the car window to see who it was.Royce, who was driving, saw Margot and quickly pulled the car over to the side.He parked the car and initially intended to lower the window to say hello to Margot, but then he saw Curtis sitting next to her.Royce wanted to speak but hesitated.Margot didn't speak to him, and drove straight out of the estate.Zyla, who was sitting in the front passenger seat next to Royce, watched as Margot's car drove away. Only then did she turn her gaze back and mutter to herself. "Didn't the servants say that the Crosby family was coming today to deliver the gifts? Why did they leave so quickly?""Maybe your information is incorrect."Zyla looked at Royce and said, "How could that be? If that servant lies to me, I won't let her get away with it."Royce scoffed. "Do you still think you're the little princess of the Morr
