"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
Margot was very surprised.She glanced at Curtis while driving and asked, "I grew up with you instead of my parents? Why is that?""When you went missing at the age of three, I was the one who found you and took you to the orphanage. I supported your education, and you spent the next several years of your life growing up there."Later, your brother came over and found you. They decided to settle down here because of you."Margot was stunned.She suddenly pulled the car over to the side, and stared at Curtis in disbelief.Due to the sudden braking of the car, Curtis instinctively shielded Louis in his arms and looked toward Margot."What's wrong?"Margot's face turned pale."So the ones who raised me are you and your parents?"Curtis pressed his lips together and fell silent for a while before speaking again."It's not really all that, since you grew up in an orphanage."Margot said, "But you supported my education, so if it weren't for you, I'd be a poor soul wandering the
"If there's any problem, just let me know.""No problem, go ahead and finish up your work."Margot didn't even look up.While Louis was calm, she picked up her phone to contact Anthony.Margot: "Anthony, can I ask you something?"After waiting for about two minutes, Anthony finally responded.Anthony: "Sure, go ahead and ask."Margot: "Earlier, were you the one who hypnotized me to make me forget things from the past?"When she found out about her daughter's existence before, her mental state wasn't good. They told her they hypnotized her to forget about her daughter to prevent her from feeling sad.If one's memory could be hypnotized, then it should also be possible to reverse it, right?She was now truly eager to recall every little detail about her time with Curtis.Anthony: "Hm…"Margot: "I promise you, I will keep my emotions in check. Can you help me remember my past?"Anthony stared at the message sent by Margot. His fingers froze on top of the screen.Actually, if
It was such a pity that a child as beautiful as Margot suffered out there.Curtis originally intended to take Margot home.However, he realized that with so many people at home, it was inevitable that someone would bully her.So Curtis simply sent her to the orphanage and handed over his savings to the director, asking him to take care of her.At that time, the director asked him what the little girl's name was.Margot stared at him with her pair of bright eyes, as if she was reluctant to part with him.It was only then that Curtis realized he still didn't know the child's name.So he crouched down and gently asked, "What's your name, sweet girl?"At that time, Margot was in a state of complete panic and fear, and couldn't even remember her own name.Curtis saw that she didn't respond, so he raised his hand and gently touched her round little face. "How about I give you a name? From now on, you'll be Margot Avery Stone. Do you know why I want to name you Margot?"The five-yea
