Margot followed Doris back to the Royal Villa.Since Curtis wasn't around, Margot returned to her room. She took a shower, changed clothes, savored the nutritious meal Doris had prepared, and settled on the living room couch.With her phone in hand, she persistently messaged him, but to no avail. All calls and messages went unanswered. A wave of sadness engulfed her. She stayed in the living room and waited for his return.By ten in the evening, Doris approached her. "Ms. Stone, you've just had a miscarriage, and your body needs rest. Head back to your room and get some sleep."Margot declined, stating, "I want to wait for Curt to come back.""We don't know if he'll return. It's been two days," Doris explained."He will come back," Margot insisted. Without clarification, she couldn't clear her name, causing unrest that permeated her sleep and disrupted her meals.Curtis had treated her kindly. How could she betray him? The joy of her pregnancy with his child made it unthin
Margot hastily opened her mouth to explain, "I didn't betray you. The child I'm carrying is also yours. I never intended to abort the baby. It was that night...""Shut up." Curtis turned around, glaring at her with bloodshot eyes. "Come, follow me. I'll show you something." He roughly grabbed her small hand, dragging her toward the study.Caught off guard, she almost fell. However, due to her wrist being pulled, she had to follow him.In the study, Curtis rudely flung Margot down. He took a stack of photos from the desk and threw them in front of her, saying sharply, "Margot, open your eyes and look carefully. Where have I treated you unfairly? "If I didn't investigate, I didn't even know that you were so desperate to run away with him."He remarked, "You truly are an amazing partner, the one I've chosen. You managed to influence even someone like me, someone accustomed to navigating the complexities of the business world. "You've got some serious skills."Margot was spe
Margot halted abruptly, starting without turning back. "You don't trust me, so I need to find evidence to prove my innocence."Curtis found it quite amusing. He walked up and stood in front of her, peering down. "Innocent? Which of the things I just mentioned was unfair to you?"She met his gaze and retorted defiantly, "All of your words are unjust to me.""Margot, you can argue all you want, but no matter how you argue, I won't believe your nonsense anymore. "Listen to me. From now on, you stay here, and you're not allowed to go anywhere. Even if it's death, you can only die here."Through clenched teeth, he uttered each word, radiating an icy presence as if he could consume her whole. Despite his intense demeanor, she was determined to depart, but an exit seemed nonexistent.Margot, in her life, would never escape him. Not wanting to see her pitiful face again, Curtis turned and left.She stood there, watching him walk away. Her expression was dazed, and her mind was bl
Curtis looked at Tammy and said in a gentle tone, "From now on, this is your home. You can stay as long as you like, and you can ask others for anything you want. Just do whatever you want."Tammy smiled faintly as she took a seat beside Curtis. "Really?""Of course. After all, you will eventually be my wife. Anything that belongs to me will eventually be yours, too."Margot couldn't stand it anymore. She closed the book in her hand and stood up to leave.Curtis cast a cold glance at her and bellowed, "Stop right there!"Margot stopped in her tracks but couldn't bring herself to look at them.Curtis lazily instructed, "Go and make me a sandwich. I'm hungry."This was the first time he had ordered Margot to cook for him.Margot refused to do so, tears welling up as she walked upstairs.Curtis sat up and started shouting at her, "Margot, did you not hear me? I told you to make me a sandwich!"Margot ignored him and continued to walk away.Seeing that she was still defiant, Cur
Margot, who had been thrown onto the bed, felt her heart shatter into pieces.She slowly sat up, tears welling in her eyes as she gazed at the man before her."How do you want me to pay you back? Do you want my life? If you want it, I can give it to you!"She'd rather give him her life than endure his vicious torments.Since her miscarriage, he hadn't shown her an ounce of care. Instead, he reveled in tormenting and humiliating her.Was this some sort of entertainment to him?If you hate someone, you should just get rid of them!Why would you do this to them?Margot felt like she couldn't hold on any longer. If the man really wanted her dead, she would do as he wished."Is your life even worth that much?"Curtis glared at her with an icy gaze. "From now on, you'll work by my side to repay me. If you dare disobey me, I'll …"He was suddenly at a loss for words.He knew very well that if a powerless woman like her didn't obey him, he couldn't really do anything about it.How
Tammy deliberately didn't dodge, staying put as Margot hurled all those cosmetics at her.Each one of them struck her body, causing Tammy to clench her teeth in pain.As Curtis passed by the door, he caught sight of Margot's actions.His eyes flashed with anger as he rushed forward to embrace Tammy, then proceeded to shout at Margot, "Stop this at once!"Margot had completely lost her composure as she continued to hurl the objects. Some were even directed at Curtis."Adulterers! Get out of here! I don't want to see any of you! Get out!"Seeing that the woman had completely lost her mind, and considering that Tammy was injured, Curtis quickly supported her to leave the room.Once they left the room, seeing that Tammy was covered in wounds, with blood still oozing out of them, he quickly pulled out his phone and dialed 911.However, Tammy stopped him."Curt, I'm fine. Let's just head downstairs and tend to my wounds."Curtis complied with her request.He quickly helped her dow
Curtis' ruthless words were like thousands of knives stabbing Margot's heart.That bleeding, still-beating heart instantly shattered into pieces—it could no longer be a whole.She endured the pain and no longer looked at him.Curtis also stormed out and slammed the door, no longer caring about her.For several days in a row, Margot had locked herself in her room, becoming increasingly withdrawn and depressed.That was when Laura came over to play.As soon as she got out of the car, she hugged her favorite doll and ran toward the house.While running, she shouted, "Margot, are you home?"When she ran to the living room, Doris called out to her."Welcome, Ms. Laura."Laura stopped in her tracks. She was wearing a white dress. Her hair was styled into two braids, and her face was lovely—she looked charming.She smiled at Doris and asked, "Doris, where's Margot?""Ms. Stone's upstairs. Her mood hasn't been that great these past few days. Can you go and persuade her to go to the
Just when they were having dinner, Curtis and Tammy returned home.Margot didn't bother to look at them and continued eating.She simply ignored their presence.Or perhaps her heart had grown numb, and she couldn't care less about them.However, Laura was not as forgiving; she had a knack for holding grudges.When she turned her head and saw Curtis returning with the homewrecker, she became visibly upset.Laura set down her cutleries, stood up, and rushed toward them while shouting, "Curty, why did you bring this woman back? "She hit me before and even insulted Margot. You're not allowed to be with her. Tell her to get out!"Curtis remained expressionless as he cast a brief glance toward the dining room.Seeing that Margot finally came downstairs to have dinner, he didn't react much. Instead, his gaze fell upon Laura."Who brought you here? Have you run out of places to fool around?""Curty, how can you talk to me like that? I'm still your aunt!" Laura pouted, looking very
