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.
Through the mask, Tamara could see the apparent nervousness on the bunny girl’s face.Anthony immediately reached out to shield Tamara, but someone had beat him to it.Tamara felt an arm snaked around her waist and a force pulling her back. Her body crashed into a man’s firm embrace.Following the crash, the bunny girl let out a shriek.The crowd around them took a few steps back in surprise.Tamara was also stunned by this. She couldn’t imagine what would have happened if the bunny girl had knocked into her.She sighed in relief before she remembered a man was holding her.She hurriedly struggled out of the man’s embrace and turned around.She almost puked when she saw who he was.It was none other than Sebastian Lynch!Why did she always have to bump into him?He was everywhere!“Thanks,” Anthony thanked on behalf of Tamara, for which she couldn’t be more thankful. They left after that.Sebastian furrowed his eyebrows. He found a sense of familiarity looking at the figur
The lounge was dimly lit, and smoke filled the space. Samuel led Tamara and Anthony through a door, and together, they entered a well-furnished room.A man was sitting on the couch. The man was well-dressed and holding a cigar.“Sir, Miss Myra is here to see you,” Samuel walked over and said respectfully.“Hello, Miss Myra.” A gentle yet seductive voice sounded.Mystery surrounded the man.“I know you are a woman of few words, Miss Myra. So I’ll leave out the formalities. Have a seat, Miss Myra.” The man had not gotten up, nor had he made a move to turn around. He merely pointed at the chair beside the couch.Tamara walked over with Anthony trailing behind her. After she had sat down, Anthony spoke, “Thank you.”From where she sat, Tamara couldn’t make out the man’s face. Not to mention, he was wearing a mask.Tamara pushed down her curiosity. It would not be easy to find out the man’s identity.It takes a certain kind of man to operate an underground casino.“I invited Miss
“Call off the debt?” The man paused before his smile deepened.“I wonder what relationship you have with this Quentin fellow that you are willing to help him settle his debt.” The man looked at Tamara meaningfully.Tamara’s heart stopped before she signaled Anthony to continue, “Of course, the miss is not asking sir to settle the debt for free. The miss wishes to settle this with a bet.”The man was obviously taken aback by this. He asked in surprise, “Miss Myra wishes to win back the five million dollars?”Tamara gave a faint smile and nodded.“Very well!” The man clasped his hand. “I admire you, Miss Myra.”Just then, a knock sounded on the door. A bodyguard cautiously entered and said, “Sir, Mr. Lynch has arrived.”Tamara froze. Mr. Lynch? Which Mr. Lynch was he referring to?The man gave a wave, and the bodyguard left before returning with another person.Tamara's eyes widened when she saw who it was, and her mood dampened.Fuck! Him again?“You sure knew how to throw a
