"Thank you, Mom."Margot buried her face in her food as Regina asked her, "Do you know about Zyla's move?"Margot looked up, nodded. Regina sighed and said, "You didn't sever ties with Royce, did you? Zyla said she was moving out with Royce. You wouldn't be too concerned about it, would you?"Margot laughed coldly. "Why should I be concerned?""You don't care about Royce at all? He's with Zyla now, and you're not bothered?" Regina asked.Margot continued eating her breakfast as she said, "I don't care, and I'm not bothered."She didn't feel anything for Royce, so his actions meant nothing to her.As for Zyla, Margot was even more indifferent to her than she was to Royce."It's good that you don't care," Regina said with a smile."Margot, take good care of Louis, and when you're ready to find someone to accompany you, I will introduce you to someone from my social circle, people of prominence and distinction, none of whom are inferior to Royce," Regina suggested.Margot had no
Margot turned to Curtis behind her. In the car behind him, she recognized the person sitting inside.She was taken aback.She opened the car door and got out, looked at the person in the car, and then back atCurtis who was standing in front of her."Are you friends with Mr. Sawyer?" she asked.Curtis was taken aback. He never expected to have such a connection with Margot.It seemed that no matter where they went, they always ran into each other.If fate was so kind to them, why should he avoid her? Moreover, he owed Margot a lot.Since his daughter was not around, he should be good to her and take care of her, shouldn't he?He couldn't understand what he had been thinking before. How could he have thought of leaving Margot?At that moment, he really wanted to hug her.But thinking she didn't remember him, he had to control his emotions. He removed his mask and said, "Yes, I'm friends with Mr. Sawyer."Margot was surprised as she glanced at Gabriel. She asked, "Mr. Sawyer, i
Gabriel saw a person approaching, and despite his annoyance, he still rolled down the car window. He looked at the man coming toward him with an unfriendly gaze.Calvin glanced at Gabriel in the car and asked, "What do you want?""Get in, and we'll talk slowly," Gabriel replied.Calvin didn't know what Gabriel was up to, but he didn't hesitate to get in the car.Gabriel didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "When are you going to marry Nat?"Calvin hesitated. Gabriel had come to ask about his and Natalie's affairs? Does he have nothing better to do?Nonetheless, they were rivals in love, after all.Calvin didn't know what Gabriel had in mind, but he still answered. "Soon.""Soon?" Gabriel's heart skipped a beat. "Are you moving the relationship that fast? So when are you both getting married?""Why are you so concerned about this?" Calvin asked.Calvin dodged Gabriel's question.Gabriel's expression changed, and he nervously avoided eye contact with Calvin.Then,
Curtis pulled his hand away from Calvin."Do you think it's a good idea for me to go see Margot right now?"Calvin paused. "What's wrong?""She doesn't remember me," Curtis said.He didn't want Margot to remember him and his daughter. If she remembered everything, she would be overwhelmed by grief. He wouldn't be able to bear seeing Margot sad.Calvin sat back down. "So what do you plan to do?""I can start over and get to know her again," Curtis proposed."Start over as a new person with a new identity and get to know her again?" Calvin asked.Curtis explained, "Losing Lilac is a pain that will stay with me forever, but I can bear it alone.She can just stay as she is, carefree and worry-free. That's good enough for me."Calvin thought that this was not a bad idea. He remembered how Margot was when she lost her daughter, and if they hadn't hypnotized her, she might have gone crazy. Even now, Curtis had returned, but Lilac was still missing.She loved Lilac so much. How could
Calvin returned to the company and went straight to Margot's office. He saw her busy reviewing files and walked over to ask, "What do you want to have for lunch?"Margot looked up and replied casually, "Whatever the secretary brings is fine."Calvin pulled a chair across from Margot and smiled. He suggested, "How about we go out instead? I have a friend who's back from abroad, and he's quite capable. I plan to let him take over my position and assist you in managing the company. I hope to introduce you two."Margot stopped writing and looked up at Calvin again as she narrowed her eyes."Why haven't you mentioned this person before?""I thought he was gone for good, but he's back. You two are acquaintances, but you might not remember him," Calvin replied.Margot was curious. "Who is it?""You'll find out soon enough," Calvin said with a sly grin. Then, he stood up and went back to his own office, leaving Margot sitting there in confusion.What kind of person could take over Calv
So now he says he's Elias and Ashley's son. He wasn't fooling anyone, though. Margot still had her suspicions. Curtis explained, "I'm sorry, I just returned and didn't know you had grown up so much. I didn't recognize you at first."Margot remained silent. Looking at Calvin and Curtis in front of her, she felt that things were not as simple as they said. They seemed to be hiding something from her.Oh well! Margot decided that thinking about it too much would only add to her frustration and headache."So, doesn't that make you something like my brother?" Margot quipped as she extended her hand toward Curtis. She continued, "Welcome back, brother dearest. Did you come back alone? Why didn't you bring your wife and kids?"This time, it was Curtis who was silent. The word "brother" made him feel guilty and ashamed, not to mention the anger and self-blame he felt when she mentioned his child. Curtis didn't respond and instead found a seat. Calvin also sat down, indicating to Marg
Curtis looked at Margot's current state and felt that hiding the truth from her was the right thing to do. As long as she didn't suffer because of her daughter, he didn't mind putting on an act."I didn't hate you, I just didn't dare to reveal myself to you when we saw each other again," he said seriously, looking into her eyes with deep emotion and melancholy.Margot frowned and sneered. "Don't you think your words are contradictory?" He had previously said he didn't recognize her, then changed to saying he didn't recognize her at first, and now he was saying he didn't dare reveal himself to her.Was this person crazy?Curtis didn't explain further. Instead, he continued along with the narrative he had painted. "Everything before was a lie. I've always liked you, but because you are my parents' adopted daughter, we can't be together since we were 'siblings.' Later, when you were with someone else, I deliberately said I didn't know you when I saw you again."He spoke without a
Curtis didn't urge her, but instead sat down and asked, "I heard you broke off your engagement with Royce. Did you leave him because you're still in love with me?"He continued, "If that's the case, then bring the child back to me. This time, I won't leave you again, and I won't leave you with them anymore."He tried to reach out and hold her hand, but Margot instinctively avoided him.She looked up at him, her face filled with disbelief. Then, she shook her head as she said, "Let me calm down first and think about it. You're saying we were together before, but no one around us knew, right?"Curtis nodded.Margot continued, "So, you're saying I got pregnant with your child while I was engaged to Royce?"Curtis neither confirmed nor denied it.Margot knew it was probably true.She felt a bit regretful and couldn't help but slap her forehead."What have I done? I've made such a mess and forgotten everything."She looked at Curtis again, her expression suddenly becoming more c
