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
Tamara was furious beyond words. She immediately checked out of the hotel.Without another glance at Sebastian, she left the hotel.Sebastian stared wordlessly at Tamara’s retreating figure.Did he go too far?…After checking in to another hotel, Tamara opened her suitcase and took out another phone before sending a text to Anthony.Tamara started: “I changed my hotel. This is the address.”Anthony replied: “Yes, Miss Simmons.”After Tamara sent out the hotel’s address, she took out the information she had on the underground casino.Coincidentally, there was a yacht party to celebrate the boss’ wedding tonight.The theme was Masquerade. Upon reading that, Tamara smiled.Everything was working in her favor.There was a knock on the door to her room. A largely-build man stood outside.The man was Anthony Night. He had a scar on his eyebrow.Even so, he looked as if he wanted nothing more than to disappear from the public eye.“Miss Simmons,” called Anthony respectfully.
A tall figure stood beside the car. An air of nobility surrounded him.Seeing the familiar face, Tamara was at a loss for words.She walked toward the man and stared at him.Sebastian calmly said, “Why are you staring at me like that? Can’t I visit my in-laws’ graves?”Tamara rolled her eyes at this.Fine. He won this round.Since he was already here, she would blow her cover if she denied him further. Tamara had no choice but to bring him along.They stopped at the two graves and saw a bouquet of red roses in front of Tamara’s mom's tombstone.Tamara frowned. Who came to visit?Although it was true that Tamara’s mother loved red roses, wouldn’t it be out of line to bring the dead such flowers?Tamara stalked closer and bent down. She saw that there was a card attached to the bouquet. There were words written on it. “Dear Alex, I brought you your favorite flowers. Are you happy to see them?”What an affectionate letter.It was obvious that a man had written this.Was it a
Tamara huffed in annoyance.What a shameless man!Helpless in this situation, Tamara could only comply.Sebastian smirked victoriously.Back at the hotel, Tamara was too tired to converse with the man and headed straight to her room.Anthony trailed behind her this entire time. When he saw that Tamara had returned to her room, he sent her a text: “Miss Simmons, do you need me to get rid of the man?”Tamara replied: “There’s no need. I won’t be seeing him after 8 months anyway.”Anthony narrowed his eyes at this. His fingers hovered over the screen for a long time.Was that so?Sebastian did not come looking for Tamara for the rest of the day.Only then did Tamara start to believe that Sebastian hadn’t followed her here.Checking the time, Tamara remembered that the party would be starting at 7 pm. It’s time for her to head out.Taking out the costume and makeup Anthony had prepared for her, Tamara got to work.First, she put on a layer of heavy makeup to hide her identity.
