Later that night, Curtis tended to Tammy until she went to bed.When he was returning to the master bedroom after that, he received a call from Chester."Mr. Crosby, we've conducted the investigation. The security footage at the bar has been destroyed. We couldn't identify the one targeting Ms. Stone yet," Chester said over the phone.Curtis pursed his lips tightly as his face grew extremely serious."Is this the best you can do?""I'm sorry. I'll intensify our efforts," Chester replied.After ending the call, Curtis strode toward the master bedroom.Margot was already lying in bed.She felt uneasy, particularly about seeing Curtis getting closer to another woman. She didn't know how long she could endure this situation.Upon hearing footsteps approaching, she slowly sat up.She saw Curtis, who hadn't changed into his pajamas yet, walking straight toward her.Standing in front of her, his handsome face bore no expression as he asked coldly, "Do you really think she's pretend

Curtis didn't want to waste any more time with Margot. He grabbed her hand and dragged her upstairs.His grip was too strong, which made Margot stagger behind him."Curt, you're hurting me," she cried out in pain.This was the first time she saw him so furious, and his actions were so rough. He was genuinely angry.Without any sympathy, he roughly threw her into Tammy's room and pointed to the disgusting things on the bed."Do you still want to argue?" he questioned.While massaging her sore wrist, Margot looked at the things on the bed. Several large frogs were leaping around and croaking.She finally understood what was going on.So, Curtis believed that she did all of this?Feeling wronged, she turned to look at him with red eyes as she asked, "Curt, you're convinced that I did this, aren't you?""Who else could it be?" he replied, evading her question. Leaving no words, she turned and left in anger.Curtis coldly ordered, "Apologize to Tammy and never step into her roo

Curtis could never have imagined that Margot, who had always been an obedient girl, would one day become so unreasonable.He said furiously, "Don't test my patience."He got up from his chair and took off his belt before marching toward Margot.Margot was already in tears. She retreated when she saw what he was doing.However, before she could react, Curtis pulled her to him and bent her over the desk. He whipped her across the buttocks with the belt mercilessly.Actually, he hadn't hit her that hard. He only wanted to frighten her.Margot sobbed miserably, "How dare you hit me? This is domestic violence. I'm going to sue you.""I'm your husband. You disobeyed me first," said Curtis. He whipped her again.The blow was very soft, but it was still painful to Margot. She struggled and yelled desperately, "Curtis, I don't love you anymore. Let go of me!""It looks like you haven't learned your lesson. How dare you yell at me?" Curtis whipped her again, but he put no strength into

Curtis was angry again. He pursed his lips and looked coldly at the unreasonable girl in front of him."Margot, you're already refusing to sleep with me?" He tried his best to control his temper.Margot said defiantly, "You can sleep with me, but kick that woman out first."Curtis was speechless. Margot refused to stop harping about Tammy.However, he owed Tammy. How could he kick her out if she was reluctant to leave?Curtis got up and glared at Margot. "Fine, I'll leave. Don't ever expect me to set foot in this room again."Curtis was furious. He slammed the door on his way out and Margot shuddered.Her heart ached as if someone had plunged a knife into it. She tried her best not to cry.She got under the blankets again and forced herself to go to sleep.The next morning, Curtis and Tammy were still the only ones at the breakfast table. Tammy felt pleased when she thought of Curtis and Margot's fight the night before.She said, "Curt, I …"Curtis cut her off. "You have to

It was Royce … He was the guy from Margot's university who had spent a year trying to woo her.He was the person she tried to avoid the most. What was he doing at the Crosby residence? How was he related to the Crosby family?Before Margot could regain her senses, Laura said sweetly, "Uncle Royce, I came to welcome Margot."Laura looked back at Margot while pointing at Royce. She said, "This is my uncle. He's my mother's brother. His name is Royce. What do you think? Isn't he handsome?"Margot was at a loss for words. She felt overwhelmed with disbelief as she looked into Royce's eyes.Royce also looked at Margot with shock, and they continued staring at each other. Margot couldn't believe that Royce was related to the Crosby family. On the other hand, Royce couldn't believe that the girl he had liked for a year was already married.What was more shocking was that she was married to a Crosby. There was only one son in the Crosby family—the famous Curtis Crosby.Margot was marr
