"Let me tell you a secret, Curt. I'm pregnant with your child. I'm going to be a mom soon. Hahaha!"Curtis was rendered speechless.He couldn't help but think that Margot was dumb. She had drank so much despite not having a good alcohol tolerance. She didn't even know who she was after she got drunk.Just when Curtis was mad that she brought up the baby, she leaned in near his ear. "There's more, Curt. I gave our baby a name, Skylar Crosby. This way, we'll be reminded of our child when we look up to the sky."When Margot said that, she felt like something had hit her heart.She lifted her head to look at the newly descended night sky. When she couldn't see the blue sky anymore, her heart felt extremely painful. Drops of tears fell down her face uncontrollably. In the next second, she couldn't help but cry."It seems like my baby is gone. My baby doesn't want me anymore. Curt, I feel so painful. I miss my baby so much. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hid the fact that I had y
When Margot woke up the next day, she had a splitting headache.She slowly sat up from the bed. While massaging her painful head, she scanned her surroundings.This was her room. Weirdly, she was wearing the sexy sling pajamas that she loved wearing before.She would only wear it when she slept with Curtis.She stopped wearing it ever since Tammy appeared.Margot wondered what had happened last night that made her wear the sleepwear.After thinking for a while, she couldn't recall what had happened last night. Thus, she got up to wash up.Standing before the sink, she suddenly realized her lips were split and swollen. Someone seemed to have bitten it.She wondered who had bit it.When she recalled what happened at Natalie's gathering yesterday afternoon, Margot figured it had to do with a certain man.She quickly went downstairs after washing up and getting changed.Doris was cleaning up in the dining room. When she saw Margot, she said with a smile, "You're up, Ms. Stone. S
Margot smiled awkwardly when she heard that. "I don't know how to act. It's fine.""There's no need to be scared. I can teach you. You can also slowly learn if you enroll in those acting academies.""It's fine. I still need to work hard and earn money."After Margot repaid Curtis, she could divorce him and break free from such an oppressed and boring marriage.However, Tommy was still unwilling to give up."That's just right. You can earn a lot in the entertainment industry. If you're willing to follow me to star in a movie, you can earn at least one million for a few months of shooting a movie. "This is considering that you're the second or third female lead. You'll earn even more if you're the female lead."Although Tommy wasn't a popular celebrity, he was rich.Anyone popular or influential in the entertainment industry was somewhat connected to his family.With his connections, Margot could definitely have a chance to star in a movie.When Margot heard that she could ear
Margot felt her heart clenched in pain when she heard Curtis requesting for Tammy to come over and work with him.She endured that uncomfortable feeling and tried her best to remain calm.She then asked him, "When will we get our divorce certificate?"Margot would leave once Tammy came over.As for the money she owed Curtis, she would start her acting career by following Tommy. Margot believed she would soon be able to pay the one million dollars back as long as she worked hard enough.Margot didn't want to stay by Curtis' side any longer.She had enough of him!Curtis turned his head to look at the woman beside him.His tone was mocking as he said, "You're getting rid of me so soon? Even after the divorce, you'll never get rid of me, Margot!"Margot replied, "I only want to know when we are getting the divorce."She glared at him with reddened eyes. Her entire face was filled with rage.Curtis was about to lose his temper again but hesitated.It seemed like this was how Ma
Margot tried her best to calm herself down.It wasn't worth her time making a fuss with him.The more she made a fuss, the more it showed that she cared for Curtis. He would be even more unscrupulous.She should endure it no matter how it pained her to do so. She shouldn't show it on her face.Margot finally managed to suppress her rising emotions after repeatedly reminding herself.She turned to look at the man beside her and acted calm as she asked, "Sorry, I fell asleep in the car earlier. Do you need me for anything, Mr. Crosby?"Curtis was speechless.Mr. Crosby?Curtis squinted as he looked at how indifferent Margot was. He suddenly felt stuffy in his chest."What did you see earlier, Margot?" he asked despite knowing what had happened.Margot's eyes glistened. She almost couldn't hold her emotions in.She endured it and chuckled. "I saw everything. You and Ms. Vaughn really make an ideal couple, Mr. Crosby. You two are a perfect match."But … You should find somewher
Tammy suddenly laughed wildly.She then said, "But as much as a scumbag Curtis is, he still has countless women throwing themselves at him, including you."You're just a 20-year-old young lady. Didn't you marry Curtis just because he's rich?"Tammy pulled Margot over. Her emotions became unstable.Tammy said, "Why didn't you want the money I gave you?" That was ten million dollars! Margot could have any man she wanted if she left with the ten million in hand. Why should she compete with Tammy?"Don't you know that he's the one who made me unable to bear children forever? He must dedicate his entire lifetime to compensate me. He has to compensate me!"Margot pushed away Tammy, who was in hysteria.She stepped back and shouted, "I don't care about what happened between you and Curtis! I've also told you that I'll divorce him. I can leave anytime as long as he agrees to it!""Will you leave?" Tammy asked with reddened eyes.Margot felt that her heart had given up completely.She
It was already 7:00 pm by the time Curtis returned to the parking area. He had finished the inspection with the others from the company.They were planning to have dinner at the nearby farm stay before rushing back to Amberville the same night.Curtis realized that nobody was there when he got into the car. He couldn't help but look around but still couldn't find the person he was looking for.He then instructed Chester by his side. "Give Margot a call."Chester took his phone out and called Margot's number.The call went through, but nobody picked it up.He called multiple times, but they were all unanswered.Chester looked at Curtis and said, "Ms. Stone is not picking up, Mr. Crosby."Curtis took out his cell phone and personally gave her a call.He knew that she was angry at him.However, regardless of her anger, she still has to return to the car and head back with everyone else when it is dark.Who would Margot head back with if they were to leave without her in this
Curtis' heart skipped a beat. The bad feeling grew.It was to the point that he started having difficulties breathing.Nothing would happen to her.She was a 20-year-old adult. How would anything happen to her?However, it was hard for Curtis not to worry when he recalled her reaction as she left him earlier.Before this, Margot would cry and make a fuss no matter what he did with Tammy.She wasn't like that earlier.Not only was she calm, she was even smiling when she told him that Tammy and him were an ideal couple.Was she suppressing her sadness and did something foolish while avoiding him?Curtis vaguely recalled the words she had told him previously.She said that she could give her life to him if he wanted it.Did she really …Curtis could no longer stand still upon thinking this. He quickly strode into the mountains to look for her.He threw his image aside as he shouted, "Margot! Come out now, Margot!"Nothing could happen to her!She finally grew up and walked
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
