Heart-eating bug? What was that?A dazed look appeared on Margot's face. Instead of resisting, she allowed herself to be dragged by Eric to a room.Two bodyguards stood at the door. Upon seeing Eric, they respectfully greeted, "Mr. Zimmerman."Eric ordered with a stern face, "I want to go in."The bodyguard swallowed hard. "This is a crucial area of the Zimmerman family. You need your father's approval to enter, sir."Eric huffed. "My father specifically asked me to come."The two bodyguards exchanged glances, and one of them walked toward the study. Eric waited patiently at the door.Margot asked, "What is a heart-eating bug?"Eric coldly regarded her, "If implanted, the person has to ingest some pain-relief cursed bug eggs during the full moon of every month. Otherwise, they risk suffering from immense pain. The pain is enough to torture someone to death."Margot's expression darkened at this. She suddenly thought of Benjamin in her past life. They were about to get married

"Oh," Margot responded indifferentlyEric's brows furrowed tightly. That was it? Was she not afraid? She had seen how miserable those people were. Was she that strong mentally?Margot continued to stare at Eric expressionlessly. Eric immediately asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"Margot shrugged. "You were the one staring first."Eric fell silent. He was a bit confused. No, he was very confused.There were too many mysteries surrounding Margot. She acted nothing like a 20-year-old girl would.Margot walked out of the courtyard and headed back to the villa. Eric followed her. He didn't know what to say as he watched her seemingly carefree demeanor.Back at the villa, Margot went upstairs without looking at Eric once.Eric went to the study, and Andrew immediately asked, "How is she?"Eric had a strange look on his face, and the scars on his face seemed less ferocious. After some hesitation, he muttered lowly, "She ... seems off."Andrew looked at him, his brows

While others might try to keep a peaceful conversation going, these two old men were verbally insulting each other every chance they got. It was a miracle they still hadn't broken into a fight.Just then, Margot suddenly sensed a scorching gaze on her. The smile on her lips vanished. She had been so engrossed in watching the commotion that she had forgotten there was also an acquaintance here.Margot let out a sigh. Although she had fantasized countless times about meeting him again, he was the last person she wanted to see right now. She lowered her gaze and ignored the owner of that gaze. She began contemplating what to do next.Aldric was at his limits. Just then, the man wearing a mask suddenly said, "Adrian might not have anything in common with her, but I do."Aldric glanced at him before he turned to Andrew with a smile. "I haven't introduced him yet. This is my godson, who also comes from outside Nammu Bay. Adrian and Ms. Zimmerman might not have much in common, but my go

"What?" Adrian exclaimed with widened eyes. "Isn't Eric your brother? You're blood siblings, and Andrew wants you to get married? That is absurd!"Margot forced a bitter smile. "I'm new here and can only go along with the Zimmerman family's arrangements. There's nothing I can do even if I am his daughter."She portrayed herself as a pitiful and helpless woman as if she had been cruelly persecuted.Adrian frowned at her. "But you are special and can nurture cursed bugs. You can even make them bend to your will. The Andrew I know would have viewed you as a cherished treasure. How would he treat you this way?"Margot was surprised. Adrian was smarter than he looked.Margot cursed inwardly. Still, she maintained a bitter look on her face. "Maybe it's because he resents my mother."She told Adrian the story about Andrew's unrequited love in his youth. The story left Adrian stunned.The sea breeze blew in through the window, scattering strands of Margot's hair. With her squinted e

Eric's expression immediately turned ugly, and the scars on his face became even more ferocious. He coldly hissed, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Lane?"Adrian looked at him disdainfully, making no effort to hide his disgust. He clicked his tongue. "I just find the Zimmerman family interesting for arranging a marriage between siblings."His tone was filled with mockery.Margot felt the cold gaze boring into her from behind. Helplessness flashed in her eyes. With her hands behind her back, she gently hooked her fingers, signaling Benjamin not to be too agitated.Although what Adrain said was the truth, things never escalated that far.Benjamin's gaze swept across her beautiful fingers. Suddenly, he reached out and gently pinched it.Margot bit back a hiss.It felt like she was shocked by electricity. She immediately curled her fist. What was he doing? What was he trying to do in this situation?The gaze behind her seemed to carry a hint of amusement. He seemed to have read M
