Royce continued to inquire, "Who's the bitch that Laura mentioned?""No one, just an insignificant person."Laura immediately countered, "How can she be insignificant? She hit me before. Margot, tell Uncle Royce who she is. I want Uncle Royce to teach her a lesson and knock her teeth out."Margot had no other choice but to inform Royce. "That person is called Tammy, but don't get involved with her. She is protected by someone. I have to go now."Not daring to linger with Royce any longer, Margot hailed a taxi and left by the roadside.Royce stood there and observed Margot with a heavy-hearted expression. He felt somewhat uneasy.Even though he didn't know why Margot married Curtis, from her current state, it seemed like she was not doing well.Royce gestured to Laura beside him and said, "Get in, Laura.""Okay."After she got in the car, Royce asked again, "Laura, tell me, what happened these past two days when you were living with Curtis?"Laura, with no particular concern,
Margot quickly hung up the phone as she feared Curtis would scold her again.She didn't leave but sat and eagerly watched the company building, waiting for Curtis to finish work.Inside the CEO's office, Curtis felt frustrated as he stared at the disconnected line. That woman was becoming more and more unruly. Not only was she challenging him, but she even got angry and threatened him. It seemed she needed to be taught a lesson about who she was dealing with.Curtis closed the files and put the pen away before he called out, "Come in." Chester immediately entered. "Mr. Crosby.""Find a nanny on the younger side and send her to Tammy's residence. Make sure the nanny takes care of her 24 hours a day," Curtis instructed."Understood." Chester nodded.After Chester left, Curtis got up, grabbed his coat, and departed.Curtis was dressed in a vest and a shirt, with a suit jacket draped over his arm. He walked out of the company building with an imposing demeanor.At the company e
Wasn't this tormenting for both of them?"Margot, listen. I don't care about anything you do. I'm the one who's in charge of everything in your life. Even if we get divorced someday, you have to obediently follow the life path I have set for you," Curtis stated coldly.Margot was young and naive with a simple nature. She didn't fully grasp situations.If she left the city, who knew what kind of trouble she might encounter? After all, she was the one he saved. Naturally, he felt responsible to protect her for the rest of her life.Margot got infuriated upon hearing this. She distanced herself from him. She felt as if there was something heavy in her chest, rendering her speechless.Curtis ignored her.At that moment, his phone rang.He glanced at the caller ID and realized it was Tammy.He answered the call.Tammy's voice on the other end was unusually gentle as she said, "Curtis, I feel like having salad today. Can you buy some vegetables from the supermarket downstairs when
Margot believed she had shown significant self-control.Apart from shedding a few tears, she had refrained from sobbing or causing a scene. Yet, despite her efforts, Curtis seemed unsatisfied. She sat quietly beside him as the driver took him to Tammy's residence and then dropped her home.When Curtis got out of the car, he instructed the driver, "Make sure she gets home, no stops on the way.""Got it, Boss." The driver acknowledged.In reality, Margot didn't have any intention to leave during the journey.When she reached home, she calmly went into Curtis' study room.Unaware of where he had placed the divorce agreement for her signature, she found a template online and printed two copies.The divorce agreement was quite straightforward, and she also requested nothing, neither alimony nor property. After signing the documents, she placed them in an envelope and went back to her room to pack her belongings.The truth was, she didn't want to leave at all.She didn't want
"Royce, I'm already married. And I've told you from the beginning that I don't like you."Royce shouldn't waste his time on her.She wasn't worth it.Curtis saved her and gave her a comfortable life all these years.Her entire heart belonged to Curtis. Even if they divorce and never see each other again, she could never forget him."I know. But I can't let go, Margot. You love your Curtis, and I love my Margot. These two things are not mutually exclusive." Royce replied as he wore a desolate smile. Everyone said that Royce was carefree and debonair. However, no one knew how painful it was for him to be unable to get what he desired, especially after learning that the woman he loved was already married. He could refrain from interfering with her marriage, but he couldn't bear to see her unhappy.He lifted his slender arm, intending to touch her tear-stained cheek, but Margot coldly avoided it. "I don't care if you're following me, but I don't want to be with you, and I d
Margot had long left the bustling city, and there was no way Chester could bring her back within an hour. In fact, he couldn't accomplish the task even if he had a night. Curtis sat on the living room sofa. He gripped his phone tightly, radiating a formidable aura with veins bulging at his forehead.Doris stood nearby, not daring to make a sound.After a while, the phone rang. Curtis, thinking it was his assistant, answered it reflexively. To his surprise, it was Tammy's voice on the other end. "Curt, why haven't you come back yet tonight?"Still consumed by anger and preoccupied with Margot, Curtis impatiently responded, "I have something to attend to today and can't make it."Tammy, wanting to voice her complaints, began, "But...""Tammy, I'll repay what I owe you, but if you keep pushing me, don't blame me for changing my attitude toward you," he said sternly as he cut her off abruptly.His mind was in turmoil, dominated by thoughts of Margot. He couldn't fathom why he fel
Margot's face reflected her frustration as she ignored Royce's casual demeanor."You're making things difficult for me. Besides, I'm married and deeply in love with Curtis. No matter what you do, I won't be moved, and I certainly won't be with you."Royce, still unfazed, sat down and began eating. He nonchalantly commented, "You're about to divorce Curtis, so I still have a chance.""Who told you I'm divorcing Curtis?" Margot retorted with a defensive tone."If it's not a divorce, then why did you leave?" Royce inquired, looking at her knowingly. His handsome face, adorned with a perpetual sun-like smile, radiated warmth.She hesitated as she felt a sense of guilt. She said, "I ... I'm on summer vacation, traveling. Who said I left?"Royce, still smiling, continued, "Well, if it's not leaving, then why were you crying on the train?"Margot knew she couldn't provide a convincing answer. She changed her tactics and said, "Fine, I'll eat your food. But I'm tired, and I need some
Chester did not expect anyone to engage in a fight with them.These assailants were swift. Chester's team was no match for them.Margot stood there, stunned, contemplating whether to call the police. However, her wrist was suddenly seized. "Come with me."A man in black, wearing a hat and a mask, quickly led her away from the commotion before she could even react.Despite being fully armed, Margot recognized that it was Royce. After entering the elevator, she shook off Royce's hand and asked, "Did you send those people to attack them?" Although she didn't know much about Royce, based on his identity as Laura's uncle, Margot knew he had the capability to dispatch people for a fight like that.Royce didn't deny it. "Yes."Margot expressed her concern, "If they are Curtis's people, he'll come after you. I won't be able to escape the consequences, no matter where I go.""Don't worry, they wouldn't know it was me. Can't you see I'm wearing a mask?" He said with an indifferent
