Tamara was annoyed. This man was such a child. Everything in the suitcase was precious to her. How could she just toss them?She observed the place and saw there was a staircase leading up to her room’s balcony.Tamara grinned. He wanted her to obey him?Not a chance!She brought her suitcase up using the staircase without hesitation. Once she put everything in place, she congratulated herself on a job well done.The door to her room was left open. When Sebastian, who had just come upstairs, saw how happy Tamara looked, he furrowed his eyebrows and walked in. “Didn’t I ask you to toss them? Why are you here?”Tamara shot a glance at him and pulled out her phone. “Mr. Lynch, everything in the suitcase is my private property. You have no say in what I do with them. If you still wish to order me around, my body might not be able to take it.”Tamara rubbed her stomach to strengthen her point. It was a threat!Sebastian’s face darkened, and he gave Tamara a cold look. This damned wo
Sebastian rushed over to support Tamara before kicking Rowena to the ground.“Ouch!” Rowena cried out in pain. When she saw the cold look on Sebastian’s face, she was engulfed by fear. “Mr. Lynch, I didn’t mean it. I merely touched her…”Sebastian’s gaze sent shivers down her spine. It was like he wanted to kill her.Sebastian retracted his gaze and looked at the frightened Tamara in his arms. He asked in a lowered voice, “Are you alright?”Tamara shook her head and looked on in gratitude. She never thought he would save her.Sebastian stated blankly, “I’m just taking care of my child. I wouldn’t have helped otherwise.”Tamara sighed. It was because of the child.She stole a glance at Rowena and noticed the hatred in her eyes.This got Tamara worried, and she instinctively put a hand over her stomach.Sebastian pulled her back to reality. “What are you waiting for?”Tamara snapped back to her senses and followed Sebastian inside.Rowena’s face soured when she saw Sebastian p
That was the only thing her mother had left for her!Her mother had gifted it to her last year on her birthday. It was a beautiful pendant.Tamara rushed to snatch it back but was pushed back by the man. “Scram!”Tamara steadied herself against the wall. She paled and hurriedly typed on her phone, “That was given to me by my mother. Give it back.”The man, however, merely chuckled cruelly. “Are you mute? Do you want it back? Pay up!”Tamara stared deeply at the man and bit her lip. She turned to Quentin and signed, “How much do you owe them?”Quentin had been following her with his eyes. After all, she was the only person who could save the Simmons family.“1.5 million dollars. Tammy, my dear sister, you have to save our family. And that pendant. It was given to you by our mother!”Tamara closed her eyes and sucked in a deep breath. She did not have that much money saved up! Never would she have thought that her family would be so deep in debt!Scarface watched the two closely
Tamara smiled. This person had contacted her a month ago to buy some scented tea to help with their insomnia. This scented tea was the newest product and was able to treat one’s insomnia.It had just been announced, and people were already trying to buy the product. However, something had happened, and she stopped making tea.Tamara walked to her room with her phone in hand. She replied: “We do. How much do you need?”At the same time, in the president’s office of ST Corporation, Sebastian was at his desk doing some paperwork.There was a sudden knock on his door.“Come in.”Sebastian’s personal assistant, Jerome Crowe, came in with a bright smile on his face. “Mr. Lynch, the tea barista responded. They’re asking how much scented tea we’d like to order.”Sebastian paused. He hinted for Jerome to pass him the tablet.Jerome sighed. “I thought the tea barista had stopped making tea. If it weren’t for the Simmons family, you’ve bought a lot more scented tea much earlier.”Sebast
When Tamara arrived at 1999, Margot was already waiting for her by the door. When she saw Tamara, she took her hand. “What’s wrong, Tammy?”Tamara nodded and explained, “My mother’s gift was taken away by a bunch of debt collectors. My family owes them 1.5 million dollars. I don’t have enough to pay them off. That’s why I came asking for your help.”“It’s okay. We’ll think of something. Come, let’s head in first.” Margot felt pity for her and brought Tamara inside.Just as the two entered, Sebastian’s car came to a stop. Looking at the place, he furrowed his eyebrows.Why was she here so late?Was she looking for her friend again?Sebastian was irritated and thought Tamara was irresponsible. She was pregnant, yet she still frequented a place like this. She did not care about him at all.Sebastian got out of the car and walked in.Margot brought Tamara to her office and gestured for her to have a seat. She observed Tamara closely. “How did your family fall into this much debt to
This was Margot’s office, and it looked as if Tamara was familiar with this place.Hadn’t she been hidden away from the world by her family? Yet, she was familiar with a place like this…Sebastian was frozen in his spot and watched as the numbers on the elevator went down. He wanted to see which floor the elevator would stop at.“What are you doing here, Sebastian?”Benjamin had just walked out of Margot’s office when he saw Sebastian standing by the elevator.Sebastian turned to him. “Did you manage to get anything out of her?”Benjamin smiled softly. “Not really. But I do know that the mixologist is a married woman.”Sebastian fell silent.Benjamin noticed his silence and said, “How’s that? Pretty good, right?”Sebastian turned his gaze to the lift. It had reached the lowest floor.Why did Tamara head there?Benjamin noticed Sebastian’s gaze and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”Sebastian pressed for the elevator and the door next to him opened. He walked in and gave Benja
“Damn it! I don’t understand sign language!” Darkness marred Sebastian’s features as he shot an unfriendly scowl at Tamara.However, the latter refused to waste her breath on him anymore. She turned on her heels and headed upstairs. “Did I say you could leave?” Sebastian’s arm instantly shot forward to grab her wrist. With a forceful yank, he pulled her into his arms.Tamara’s back crashed against Sebastian’s firm and warm chest. Once they made contact, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked a little panicked as she struggled to break free.“Know your place, Tamara! You’re here for one purpose—to birth my child! You have no authority to throw a tantrum!” Sebastian snarled icily while tightening his iron-like grip on her wrist.Rage seethed from Tamara, who glared viciously at him and thought, “Let go of me!”Only after noticing her anxious state did Sebastian finally release her.Tamara then searched the place, eventually finding a pen and some paper atop a nearby cabinet. Sh
Tamara sat on the floor in her room upstairs. Several tools were piled up beside her while a pair of safety goggles shielded her eyes. With tweezers, she gingerly placed the last scented tea leaf into a jar before letting out a long, relieved sigh. She exclaimed in her heart, “It’s finally done!” Suddenly, the door swung open, causing Tamara’s head to whip around. Her gaze immediately landed on Sebastian, who stood at the door.His presence caused her expression to darken as she stood and signed at him, “Why didn’t you knock?”Sebastian flashed a prickly look while thundering, “Type whatever you’re saying!”Tamara recalled that Sebastian did not understand sign language, so she frowned while taking out her phone to reiterate her question. She typed: “Why didn’t you knock?”“This is my home,” Sebastian replied with a dangerously low tone.Tamara’s reply was: “But this is my room!” Seeing how aggravated she was, Sebastian felt inexplicably pleased. His dark eyes were fixated on
