“Who else but her?” Margot answered coldly on behalf of Tamara.Shouldn’t one thank their savior once they wake up?What was wrong with this old man?Why did he look pissed despite being saved by Tamara?The old man slowly relaxed. He glanced at Tamara and lifted his chin.On cue, Tamara immediately went forward to help him up.Margot widened her eyes at the sight of this. “What is wrong with you? You didn’t even thank her! And now you’re ordering her around? You…”Tamara pulled on Margot’s hand, indicating for her to stop.The old man was pale and looked unwell. But the ambulance arrived soon.Tamara got in the ambulance after them, but the old man stopped her. “Don’t follow me. Leave.”Tamara shook her head and stood her ground. Her anxiety only calmed down after she sent him to the hospital.Seeing Tamara’s determination, the old man let her be and closed his eyes.“Tammy, what are you doing? Can’t you see he’s being an ass?” Upon seeing Tamara getting in the ambulance,
“What? Cat got your tongue? Did Tamara not boast about marrying into the Lynch family? After all, someone like her must have been born under a lucky star to be able to marry Seb,” mocked Yareli when she saw Margot’s apparent shock.Margot held Tamara’s hand and said in a serious manner, “Tammy, blink once if you have been kidnapped or blackmailed. I’ll save you.”Tamara rolled her eyes.Margot sure had a wild imagination.Yareli’s face turned sour. “What are you implying?”Margot turned her attention back to Yareli and flashed her a fake smile. “I said what I said.”Yareli’s face darkened. “I knew it! Birds of a feather flock together. Of course, an evil bitch like her would be friends with such an impudent person!”Tamara’s eyes sharpened, and she reached for her phone. Margot was no pushover, either. She immediately spat, “Mrs. Lynch, you were once a noble lady too. I see that even after years of living in luxury, you have not polished your poise and could still only spout bul
“Wait a minute…” Margot wanted to butt in but was stopped by Tamara. Tamara signed, “You should head home. I’ll be fine.”Margot was worried. “But…”Tamara smiled. “I’ll be fine. Also, they wouldn’t dare to hurt a pregnant lady.”Margot was hesitant, but still, she nodded reluctantly. “Alright. You take care now. If anything happens, send me a text.”Seeing Tamara nodding, Margot turned to shoot Sebastian a warning. But her throat dried when she met Sebastian’s cold gaze. “I… I’ll leave Tamara in your care.”Tamara bit back a smile.Where was the fierce warrior from just a minute ago?Margot left the hospital soon after. Tamara signed her thanks to Sebastian.Sebastian ignored her and averted his gaze. He had a moody look on his face. “Go home.”Tamara stuck her tongue out and complied, leaving the hospital.Since Sebastian had helped her, she couldn’t allow Margot to continue with her onslaught.As for her close confinement…Of course, she wouldn’t comply!Seeing that T
Yareli was stunned. “What do you mean, Dad?”Sebastian paused. “Grandpa, Tamara had left.”Old Mr. Lynch nodded, and the conversation ended.Yareli was taken aback. Was old Mr. Lynch looking for Tamara?This wasn’t how he usually treated Tamara!It had only been a month! Why did both Sebastian and Old Mr. Lynch have a sudden change of heart about Tamara?Yareli was anxious. Tamara was only two months pregnant. If they waited for Tamara to give birth to the baby before divorcing her, things would surely get complicated!If that were to happen, it would be better if Sebastian divorced Tamara right now! That would prevent them from going off track.Something sinister flashed across Yareli’s eyes. A bitch like Tamara did not belong in the Lynch family!When Tamara returned to Skarrowlilt Grove, she was exhausted and immediately fell asleep once she hit the bed.In her daze, she could feel a pair of eyes on her, but she was too tired to care and fell back into a slumber instead.
It was undeniable that Tamara was beautiful. Her every action breathed elegance, and she looked to be a goddess who decided to grace humanity with her presence. Even amid her shyness, she eluded sensuality. It didn’t matter that she was mute. The Simmons family had brought her up well.Sebastian forced down his rising emotions and averted his gaze from Tamara.Suddenly, Sebastian remembered his follow request. At the thought of this, his face fell.Tamara didn’t give two shits about him.“Tamara Simmons,” called Sebastian coldly.Tamara paused before she turned toward him. The corners of her mouth were stained.Sebastian’s words were stuck in his throat. He felt irritated at the sight of the stain.He reached out his hand and held Tamara’s chin, preventing her from turning away before he roughly wiped the stain away with his thumb.Her skin was soft to the touch.Tamara’s eyes widened tremendously. She stared suspiciously at him, and her message was clear as day. What was Se
“Nothing yet, miss.”Tamara frowned for only a moment.She had sent some people to find out the reason behind the Simmons Corporation’s sudden loss of assets.Was it merely the drop in stock price?She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.Her dad was a cautious man. He started Simmons Corporation and put great care into managing it.Why did everything go up in flames?Tamara stopped her train of thought and replied, “Continue the search.”“Yes, miss!”The next morning.When Tamara left her room, she saw Ms. Thompson and held onto her hand. Tamara held up her phone. The screen displayed a line of pre-written text: “Ms. Thompson, I won’t be coming home for dinner tonight. You don’t have to prepare food for me.”Ms. Thompson was stunned. “Where are you going, Young Mrs. Lynch?”Tamara typed: “I’m going home to the Simmons family.”Ms. Thompson nodded. “Safe journey, Young Mrs. Lynch.”Tamara smiled and nodded before she turned to leave.Seeing Tamara’s retreat
Just as Ms. Miller started, Quentin’s voice interrupted her.Helplessness flashed across Ms. Miller’s eyes. Tamara took notice of this and wanted to ask about it. But Quentin had stepped forward. “Welcome home, Tammy. Hurry up and prepare some drink for her, Ms. Miller.”Ms. Miller could only nod in submission. “Right away, Mr. Simmons.”Tamara frowned at Quentin and signed, “Why didn’t you let Ms. Miller finish?”Quentin had purposely interrupted Ms. Miller.Quentin merely chuckled. “What do you mean? She is just a housekeeper. She has no right to discuss our family issues.”Tamara’s face fell.Ms. Miller had brought them up. How dare Quentin speak so lowly of her?Quentin waved her away. “Let’s change the topic. Does Young Mr. Lynch knows you’re here?”Tamara stared coldly at him. “What does he have to do with me coming home?”“Of course he has to know!” Quentin was annoyed. “You are married to Sebastian. That means that the Lynch family and the Simmons family are in-laws.
“What are you doing?” It was obvious that Quentin saw what she saw. He immediately scolded the workers.When the employees saw Quentin, they put away their entertainment and faked returning to work. But even a blind man could see that they were all clueless. Quentin turned to Tamara. “Tammy, this is just how the company is right now. You see it too! Do you trust me now?”Tamara frowned and ignored Quentin. She headed straight for the financial manager’s office.When Quentin saw where she was headed, his face fell.“Tammy, what exactly are you here for?” Quentin blocked off Tamara.Tamara gave him a cold stare. “Make way.”Quentin sucked in a breath. “Tell me what you’re here for and I’ll send someone to bring it here.”Tamara stood her ground.Quentin was losing his patience. Tamara had no respect for him whatsoever!He was her brother!“Tamara, don’t push your luck…”“Tammy! You’re here!” Just before Quentin went off, Coral came over with a smile. “Tammy, what brings you
