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
These were the worst of men.Because they have no regard for their own lives, they don’t feel threatened by anything.Anything except money.Tamara was deep in thought.She couldn’t let matters regarding the Simmons family slide.But if she were to solve the issue, she had to bring Quentin in for the ride.“Sebastian broke Quentin's fingers. He should behave for now,” signed Tamara.Margot widened her eyes in surprise. “Sebastian did that? To protect you?”Tamara nodded.“That’s good. He earned himself some brownie points. I’m glad he’s not like the rest of his family,” continued Margot.Margot didn’t like the Simmons family.Especially Yareli Baiss.“Hello. Is this seat taken?” a gentle voice sounded.Both Margot and Tamara faced the owner of the voice. But the man had his eyes set on Tamara.Tamara grimaced at this and shook her head to reject him.But the man was relentless. “But I feel that this is the best spot to enjoy the music. I’m sure you two ladies wouldn’t mi
“If you want custody over me, please bring it up to the jury. Stop dragging me around like I’m some ragdoll.”Both Sebastian and Margot fell silent at this.Tamara breathed a sigh of relief at their silence.She wouldn’t know what to do if things got tenser than that.“Margot, I’ll leave the present in your care for now,” signed Tamara to Margot.Sebastian frowned at this. “What are you saying, Tamara?”“Tammy! I can’t believe you would choose him over me!” Margot pouted unhappily.Tamara sighed, helpless.Sebastian raised his eyebrows at this. It was clear he felt better upon hearing that.Tamara gave Margot a helpless look. “I need to come up with a plan regarding Quentin. Maybe Sebastian can help.”Margot nodded at this. “Fine.”Then, she gave Sebastian a look. “Take good care of Tammy, Young Mr. Lynch.”Sebastian didn’t even bother with Margot. He took ahold of Tamara’s hand and guided her towards the lift.This time, Tamara complied.Once they entered the lift, Sebas
Tamara fell deep in her thoughts.Rastone was not far from Londsville. Going there was not an issue; getting past Sebastian was.Even if she did manage to get past Sebastian, she was mute. She wouldn’t be able to communicate with the people there.But she couldn’t just let Anthony go alone. She paced around the room.After a moment of thought, she decided she would bring Anthony along.Tamara started, “I have to be there in person. But I’ll bring you along in case.”Anthony reluctantly agreed, “Yes, Miss Simmons…”In the evening, after Tamara came up with an excuse, she left her room and headed for the study.Sebastian had a set schedule. He would always be home by 8 pm.Tamara knocked on the study room’s door.“Come in,” came a low voice.Tamara sucked in a breath before walking in. She saw Sebastian dealing with some paperwork.She walked over and showed him her phone. On it was a line of pre-written text. “I’m going out.”Sebastian glanced at him and asked coldly, “Whe
“Are you going out too, Young Mrs. Lynch?” When Ms. Thompson saw the suitcase in Tamara’s hand, she asked in confusion.Tamara nodded, and her gaze fell onto the suitcase in Ms. Thompson’s hand. Ms. Thompson understood her and smiled, saying, “Young Mr. Lynch is going to Rastone for a business trip. Where would you be going, Young Mrs. Lynch?”Tamara didn’t answer her.She instead gave Sebastian a weird look. Sebastian returned her gaze with calmness. He glanced at Ms. Thompson and said coldly, “You ask too many questions.”Ms. Thompson was confused.Did she say something wrong?Tamara ignored Sebastian and went downstairs. She had her breakfast and left after that.She had called for a taxi. But a black Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked in front of the door.Tamara took out her phone to check on the taxi. Sebastian saw through her and said, “Do you really think just about anyone would be allowed into Skarrowlilt Grove?”It finally dawned on Tamara. How could she forget?Skarrow
