“Nothing yet, miss.”Tamara frowned for only a moment.She had sent some people to find out the reason behind the Simmons Corporation’s sudden loss of assets.Was it merely the drop in stock price?She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.Her dad was a cautious man. He started Simmons Corporation and put great care into managing it.Why did everything go up in flames?Tamara stopped her train of thought and replied, “Continue the search.”“Yes, miss!”The next morning.When Tamara left her room, she saw Ms. Thompson and held onto her hand. Tamara held up her phone. The screen displayed a line of pre-written text: “Ms. Thompson, I won’t be coming home for dinner tonight. You don’t have to prepare food for me.”Ms. Thompson was stunned. “Where are you going, Young Mrs. Lynch?”Tamara typed: “I’m going home to the Simmons family.”Ms. Thompson nodded. “Safe journey, Young Mrs. Lynch.”Tamara smiled and nodded before she turned to leave.Seeing Tamara’s retreat
Just as Ms. Miller started, Quentin’s voice interrupted her.Helplessness flashed across Ms. Miller’s eyes. Tamara took notice of this and wanted to ask about it. But Quentin had stepped forward. “Welcome home, Tammy. Hurry up and prepare some drink for her, Ms. Miller.”Ms. Miller could only nod in submission. “Right away, Mr. Simmons.”Tamara frowned at Quentin and signed, “Why didn’t you let Ms. Miller finish?”Quentin had purposely interrupted Ms. Miller.Quentin merely chuckled. “What do you mean? She is just a housekeeper. She has no right to discuss our family issues.”Tamara’s face fell.Ms. Miller had brought them up. How dare Quentin speak so lowly of her?Quentin waved her away. “Let’s change the topic. Does Young Mr. Lynch knows you’re here?”Tamara stared coldly at him. “What does he have to do with me coming home?”“Of course he has to know!” Quentin was annoyed. “You are married to Sebastian. That means that the Lynch family and the Simmons family are in-laws.
“What are you doing?” It was obvious that Quentin saw what she saw. He immediately scolded the workers.When the employees saw Quentin, they put away their entertainment and faked returning to work. But even a blind man could see that they were all clueless. Quentin turned to Tamara. “Tammy, this is just how the company is right now. You see it too! Do you trust me now?”Tamara frowned and ignored Quentin. She headed straight for the financial manager’s office.When Quentin saw where she was headed, his face fell.“Tammy, what exactly are you here for?” Quentin blocked off Tamara.Tamara gave him a cold stare. “Make way.”Quentin sucked in a breath. “Tell me what you’re here for and I’ll send someone to bring it here.”Tamara stood her ground.Quentin was losing his patience. Tamara had no respect for him whatsoever!He was her brother!“Tamara, don’t push your luck…”“Tammy! You’re here!” Just before Quentin went off, Coral came over with a smile. “Tammy, what brings you
“Young Mr. Lynch, after Young Mrs. Lynch arrived at the Simmons family villa, she soon left for Simmons Corporation. She’s still there as we speak.” Jerome told Sebastian about his find. He continued, “Ever since Jacob Simmons’s failed investment, Simmons Corporation had fallen from a great height. It is now on the verge of bankruptcy. Young Mrs. Lynch is probably there to handle the situation.”“What could she possibly do about Simmons Corporation’s bankruptcy?” Sebastian flipped through the findings and mocked.Jerome was afraid of saying the wrong words. He merely said, “I also found that Young Mrs. Lynch’s brother, Quentin, has a history of gambling.”Sebastian’s face turned cold. His eyes scanned the findings before he ordered Jerome, “Call Tamara and tell her to come home.”Jerome almost agreed before remembering something. However, he was at a loss for words. “Young Mr. Lynch…”“What?” Sebastian’s piercing gaze dug into Jerome.Jerome hesitated before finally finding the c
Coral screamed at the sight of this. She flopped over to Quentin. “Are you okay?”Quentin couldn’t find his words as he coughed out an endless stream of blood.Tamara turned to look in the direction of the door in shock. There stood Sebastian in all his glory. If looks could kill, Sebastian would have massacred everyone in the office by now.Why was he here?“Why are you just standing there?” Sebastian walked over to Tamara. His voice softened unconsciously.Tamara blinked before she raised her hand. “Why are you here…”She suddenly remembered Sebastian's lack of sign language knowledge. She hurriedly searched for her phone.Sebastian’s gaze darkened. He took hold of her hand. “Let’s go home.”Tamara paused. A weird feeling seeped into her heart. The hand on her wrist was warm and sent electricity through her. Her breathing quickened at this.“Sebastian… Sebastian Lynch. How dare you lay your hands on me…” Quentin coughed as Coral helped him up. His clothes were soaked in bloo
Coral widened her eyes. She immediately got down on her knees to beg for forgiveness. “Young Mr. Lynch, please! I was wrong! My husband has learned his lesson too! We shouldn’t have used Tammy! Please forgive us!”Sebastian gave Jerome a look. “What are you waiting for?”Jerome nodded solemnly. “Yes.”Sebastian was a man of his word. The only reason why he was going easy on Quentin was that Quentin was Tamara’s brother. If it were anyone else, they would have disappeared from this very city by now.Seeing that Sebastian made no plans to let them off easy, Coral fainted from distraught.Tamara immediately struggled against Sebastian and rushed to her aid. Only after she found no bruises on Coral did her worries ease.“Do you pity them?” Sebastian noticed Tamara’s actions, and his tone shifted into something colder.Tamara shook her head in denial and took out her phone. “I just don’t want their blood to stain my parents’ company.”Sebastian raised an eyebrow, and his face lighte
Tamara’s face flushed bright red. She couldn’t bring herself to face Sebastian.She wanted to get up, but she was in an awkward position. She couldn’t do anything about it.At her wit’s end, Tamara looked to Sebastian for help. But when she met his darkened gaze, she had second thoughts.She shouldn’t have provoked Sebastion. She let out a choked noise as she was lifted up. She was back in her seat. But this time, someone was on top of her.Tamara widened her eyes and signed nervously, “What are you doing?”Sebastian stared deep into her eyes. “Have you forgotten that I don’t understand sign language?”Tamara felt embarrassed and reached out a hand to push him away.But Sebastian wouldn’t budge.“Tamara, you were the one who started it. I thought you wanted to repay me for my kindness.” Seeing her struggles, Sebastian couldn’t help but tease.No one asked him for help!Tamara wanted to scream at his egoistic ass. But when she met his gaze, she could see the fire burning wit
After Tamara had changed out of her clothes, only then did her beating heart calm down.She texted Margot to tell her she was on the way before she left for 1999.Tamara’s cheeks were only starting to look less flushed when she arrived at Margot’s office.“Tammy, what’s wrong? Why do you look so flustered?” asked a frowning Margot. “Did Sebastian bully you?”Tamara shook her head. “I’m fine.”This only fueled Margot’s confusion. “What happened?”Tamara felt nervous about this. The scene between her and Sebastian back in the car kept repeating in her mind. She hurriedly signed to explain, “I’m here to find you and ask for your help. I suspect that Quentin is hiding something from me. He is in dire need of money. But with how the company is doing, I doubt he needs that much funds. I want to know if something else is going on.”Margot nodded. “That won’t be an issue. Quentin is an idiot and not very good at cleaning up his tracks. I’ll see what I can find.”Tamara nodded in apprec
