Margot pouted. "But I don't like how he keeps staring at me, Uncle Aldric. I hate him. Can't you send him away?"Aldric frowned when he heard this.Andrew chimed in, "Don't be ridiculous, Margot. He is the Lane family's honored guest."Margot grew upset. She pursed her lips and whined like a spoiled brat. "Father, didn't you say you and the Lane family were best friends? But you can't even do this simple task. Are you lying to me?"Andrew's face fell at this, and he shot Margot a warning look. However, Margot ignored the look Andrew was sending her. She continued, "He is an outsider and has nothing to do with Nammu Bay. Why must we keep him here? What if he's planning something?"Aldric's expression darkened. He said to Andrew, "Andrew, I know your daughter has just returned. But it seems like you haven't taught her the rules of this island."Andrew narrowed his eyes at Margot, "Get out."Margot huffed and pouted at Andrew. "Father …""Out!" Andrew's voice grew louder. Some

Soon, news of Margot torturing the maid spread. Andrew sneered when he heard this. "And here I was, thinking she had some cards up her sleeves. Did she truly think she was the young lady of the house just because she had been staying here for the past two days?"Eric stood aside silently with his head bowed.However, Andrew was cautious in nature. After the sneer, he told Eric, "Continue to keep an eye on her. Also, find out how she tortured the maid and whether the maid is even still alive.""Yes, Father." Eric quickly left. In the villa, the room's door was tightly closed, and the cries for help grew weaker. The other people in the villa heard it but dared not come forward to plead. After all, Margot was the young lady of the house, and no one dared to disobey her. But they also didn't want to hear the screams, so they kept their distance from that room.Inside the room, Felice's face was pale, and she lay on the ground in pain. She wasn't faking it. She really had no stren

Andrew didn't miss the fleeting emotion on Margot's face. His expression remained cold and stern, but his tone softened a bit. "I forgot that you were only a few years old when you went to the orphanage. You probably don't know much about your mother."Margot stared at him intently. "What are you implying?"Andrew shrugged. "It's nothing. I just want to tell you that we should let bygones be bygones. There's no use digging into the past. Why not stay here instead? I'll give you a better life."However, Margot still wore a doubtful look. "Really? Stop lying to me. You couldn't even fulfill such a small request from me."Andrew sighed. He silently looked at Margot before explaining, "After what happened three days ago, I believe you should have noticed by now. The peace between the Zimmerman family and the Lane family is all an act. "I can't intervene in the Lane family's affairs. Otherwise, even that superficial peace won't be maintained, and the two families may end up at war."

Felice looked at Margot with a complicated expression. "Ms. Zimmerman, didn't you find the grapes sour?"Margot chuckled. "As you said, the grapes were imported and are considered luxurious items. I'll eat them even if they're sour. They are nutritious, after all."She had been on Nammu Bay for over a month, surrounded by the salty sea breeze every day. Though she found the sour grapes distasteful, she wouldn't throw them away. In fact, she was happy eating them.Felice fell silent. She didn't quite understand. After some hesitation, she asked, "Ms. Zimmerman, are you not worried about the heart-eating bug?"Margot shook her head. "There's nothing to worry about."Felice looked at her with a puzzled expression. She knew how terrifying the heart-eating bug was. Every full moon, she would be in excruciating pain, wishing she could tear off her skin to ease the suffering.But Margot seemed completely indifferent. Why?Felice didn't understand, but she dared not ask.Soon, Margot f

Andrew's face immediately darkened at this. "Adrian, did you come to propose or to provoke me?"Adrian was not a pushover, either. "I did come to propose. But I won't hold back if you can't even show me some respect. Uncle Zimmerman, you may choose not to marry Margot to me, but marrying her to Eric is also out of the question. If I find out you have such intentions, I won't let Eric off the hook!""How dare you?" Andrew glared at Adrian.Adrian stood up. "I came here today just for this. I hope you can consider it carefully. There have been many outsiders on the island recently. If our two families continue our fight, wouldn't it allow outsiders to strike? Think about it, Uncle Zimmerman. You wouldn't want to see the years of hard work destroyed by outsiders, right?"After a pause, he smiled. "I'll take my leave now, Uncle Zimmerman. Just give me an answer when you've made up your mind."With that, he turned and left.Andrew was livid. He angrily slammed his fist onto the table,
