When Margot woke up the next day, she had a splitting headache.She slowly sat up from the bed. While massaging her painful head, she scanned her surroundings.This was her room. Weirdly, she was wearing the sexy sling pajamas that she loved wearing before.She would only wear it when she slept with Curtis.She stopped wearing it ever since Tammy appeared.Margot wondered what had happened last night that made her wear the sleepwear.After thinking for a while, she couldn't recall what had happened last night. Thus, she got up to wash up.Standing before the sink, she suddenly realized her lips were split and swollen. Someone seemed to have bitten it.She wondered who had bit it.When she recalled what happened at Natalie's gathering yesterday afternoon, Margot figured it had to do with a certain man.She quickly went downstairs after washing up and getting changed.Doris was cleaning up in the dining room. When she saw Margot, she said with a smile, "You're up, Ms. Stone. S
Margot smiled awkwardly when she heard that. "I don't know how to act. It's fine.""There's no need to be scared. I can teach you. You can also slowly learn if you enroll in those acting academies.""It's fine. I still need to work hard and earn money."After Margot repaid Curtis, she could divorce him and break free from such an oppressed and boring marriage.However, Tommy was still unwilling to give up."That's just right. You can earn a lot in the entertainment industry. If you're willing to follow me to star in a movie, you can earn at least one million for a few months of shooting a movie. "This is considering that you're the second or third female lead. You'll earn even more if you're the female lead."Although Tommy wasn't a popular celebrity, he was rich.Anyone popular or influential in the entertainment industry was somewhat connected to his family.With his connections, Margot could definitely have a chance to star in a movie.When Margot heard that she could ear
Margot felt her heart clenched in pain when she heard Curtis requesting for Tammy to come over and work with him.She endured that uncomfortable feeling and tried her best to remain calm.She then asked him, "When will we get our divorce certificate?"Margot would leave once Tammy came over.As for the money she owed Curtis, she would start her acting career by following Tommy. Margot believed she would soon be able to pay the one million dollars back as long as she worked hard enough.Margot didn't want to stay by Curtis' side any longer.She had enough of him!Curtis turned his head to look at the woman beside him.His tone was mocking as he said, "You're getting rid of me so soon? Even after the divorce, you'll never get rid of me, Margot!"Margot replied, "I only want to know when we are getting the divorce."She glared at him with reddened eyes. Her entire face was filled with rage.Curtis was about to lose his temper again but hesitated.It seemed like this was how Ma
Margot tried her best to calm herself down.It wasn't worth her time making a fuss with him.The more she made a fuss, the more it showed that she cared for Curtis. He would be even more unscrupulous.She should endure it no matter how it pained her to do so. She shouldn't show it on her face.Margot finally managed to suppress her rising emotions after repeatedly reminding herself.She turned to look at the man beside her and acted calm as she asked, "Sorry, I fell asleep in the car earlier. Do you need me for anything, Mr. Crosby?"Curtis was speechless.Mr. Crosby?Curtis squinted as he looked at how indifferent Margot was. He suddenly felt stuffy in his chest."What did you see earlier, Margot?" he asked despite knowing what had happened.Margot's eyes glistened. She almost couldn't hold her emotions in.She endured it and chuckled. "I saw everything. You and Ms. Vaughn really make an ideal couple, Mr. Crosby. You two are a perfect match."But … You should find somewher
Tammy suddenly laughed wildly.She then said, "But as much as a scumbag Curtis is, he still has countless women throwing themselves at him, including you."You're just a 20-year-old young lady. Didn't you marry Curtis just because he's rich?"Tammy pulled Margot over. Her emotions became unstable.Tammy said, "Why didn't you want the money I gave you?" That was ten million dollars! Margot could have any man she wanted if she left with the ten million in hand. Why should she compete with Tammy?"Don't you know that he's the one who made me unable to bear children forever? He must dedicate his entire lifetime to compensate me. He has to compensate me!"Margot pushed away Tammy, who was in hysteria.She stepped back and shouted, "I don't care about what happened between you and Curtis! I've also told you that I'll divorce him. I can leave anytime as long as he agrees to it!""Will you leave?" Tammy asked with reddened eyes.Margot felt that her heart had given up completely.She
It was already 7:00 pm by the time Curtis returned to the parking area. He had finished the inspection with the others from the company.They were planning to have dinner at the nearby farm stay before rushing back to Amberville the same night.Curtis realized that nobody was there when he got into the car. He couldn't help but look around but still couldn't find the person he was looking for.He then instructed Chester by his side. "Give Margot a call."Chester took his phone out and called Margot's number.The call went through, but nobody picked it up.He called multiple times, but they were all unanswered.Chester looked at Curtis and said, "Ms. Stone is not picking up, Mr. Crosby."Curtis took out his cell phone and personally gave her a call.He knew that she was angry at him.However, regardless of her anger, she still has to return to the car and head back with everyone else when it is dark.Who would Margot head back with if they were to leave without her in this
Curtis' heart skipped a beat. The bad feeling grew.It was to the point that he started having difficulties breathing.Nothing would happen to her.She was a 20-year-old adult. How would anything happen to her?However, it was hard for Curtis not to worry when he recalled her reaction as she left him earlier.Before this, Margot would cry and make a fuss no matter what he did with Tammy.She wasn't like that earlier.Not only was she calm, she was even smiling when she told him that Tammy and him were an ideal couple.Was she suppressing her sadness and did something foolish while avoiding him?Curtis vaguely recalled the words she had told him previously.She said that she could give her life to him if he wanted it.Did she really …Curtis could no longer stand still upon thinking this. He quickly strode into the mountains to look for her.He threw his image aside as he shouted, "Margot! Come out now, Margot!"Nothing could happen to her!She finally grew up and walked
The two drivers brought Curtis over to the riverside.One of them pointed at the stone beside and said, "We've picked the phone up here. It seemed like she placed it at such an obvious spot on purpose."Curtis looked at the turbulent river ahead. His tall figure staggered and almost fell out of balance.The two drivers by his side immediately supported and checked on him. "Mr. Crosby?"Curtis avoided their touch. Tears flooded his eyes as he choked out a sob. His chest felt stuffy as if he couldn't breathe.Did that mean that his Margot had jumped into the river?Did she commit suicide?Was she dead now?Curtis couldn't believe that Margot would just die after leaving him a suicide note!No, it wasn't true.She must definitely be joking with him.She must be hiding somewhere nearby.Curtis suddenly grabbed at the person next to him and shouted with a hoarse voice, "Go call for help and get people to come look for her. Get a thousand or ten thousand people to look for her if
