Sebastian rushed over to support Tamara before kicking Rowena to the ground.

“Ouch!” Rowena cried out in pain. When she saw the cold look on Sebastian’s face, she was engulfed by fear. “Mr. Lynch, I didn’t mean it. I merely touched her…”

Sebastian’s gaze sent shivers down her spine. It was like he wanted to kill her.

Sebastian retracted his gaze and looked at the frightened Tamara in his arms. He asked in a lowered voice, “Are you alright?”

Tamara shook her head and looked on in gratitude. She never thought he would save her.

Sebastian stated blankly, “I’m just taking care of my child. I wouldn’t have helped otherwise.”

Tamara sighed. It was because of the child.

She stole a glance at Rowena and noticed the hatred in her eyes.

This got Tamara worried, and she instinctively put a hand over her stomach.

Sebastian pulled her back to reality. “What are you waiting for?”

Tamara snap

That was the only thing her mother had left for her!

Her mother had gifted it to her last year on her birthday. It was a beautiful pendant.

Tamara rushed to snatch it back but was pushed back by the man. “Scram!”

Tamara steadied herself against the wall. She paled and hurriedly typed on her phone, “That was given to me by my mother. Give it back.”

The man, however, merely chuckled cruelly. “Are you mute? Do you want it back? Pay up!”

Tamara stared deeply at the man and bit her lip. She turned to Quentin and signed, “How much do you owe them?”

Quentin had been following her with his eyes. After all, she was the only person who could save the Simmons family.

“1.5 million dollars. Tammy, my dear sister, you have to save our family. And that pendant. It was given to you by our mother!”

Tamara closed her eyes and sucked in a deep breath. She did not have that much money saved up! Neve

Tamara was annoyed. This man was such a child. Everything in the suitcase was precious to her. How could she just toss them?

She observed the place and saw there was a staircase leading up to her room’s balcony.

Tamara grinned. He wanted her to obey him?

Not a chance!

She brought her suitcase up using the staircase without hesitation. Once she put everything in place, she congratulated herself on a job well done.

The door to her room was left open. When Sebastian, who had just come upstairs, saw how happy Tamara looked, he furrowed his eyebrows and walked in. “Didn’t I ask you to toss them? Why are you here?”

Tamara shot a glance at him and pulled out her phone. “Mr. Lynch, everything in the suitcase is my private property. You have no say in what I do with them. If you still wish to order me around, my body might not be able to take it.”

Tamara rubbed her stomach to strengthen her point. It was a threat!

Sebastian’s face darkened, and he gave Tamara a cold look. This damned woman! How dare she threaten him?

Very well!

She’d better pray there wouldn’t come a day when she fell into his palm!

Seeing how angry Sebastian was as he retreated, Tamara felt proud of herself. She even pulled a face behind his back before returning to her room.

The next morning, Tamara got out of bed early. She bumped into Sebastian on her way out. He was fixing his tie and had shot her a side glance. “Come and have breakfast with me. We’ll be leaving for the marriage bureau later.”

When Tamara heard him, she paused. That was right. They hadn’t made things official yet.

After they had their breakfast, they got in the car. The atmosphere within was as tense as always.

When they arrived at their destination, a whimpering soft voice called out to them, “Mr. Lynch, will you really be marrying this mute?”

Rowena Xanthos rushed over and held onto Sebastian’s arm. 

Rowena had always liked Sebastian. The Xanthos family was even in the midst of coming to an agreement with the Lynch family to arrange a marriage for them. She never thought Tamara would just come in and ruin things for her!

There were people working for the Xanthos family back at the hospital. Naturally, the Xanthos family knew about Old Mr. Lynch. They also knew about what went down that day. Rowena never would have guessed that Sebastian would actually marry this mute.

Sebastian frowned and looked coldly at Rowena.

He took back his arm and muttered in a low voice, “What’s that got to do with you?”

Rowena froze before saying, “Mr. Lynch, didn’t you agree to have an arranged marriage with the Xanthos family? Why would you marry this mute? You’re way out of her league.”

Rowena shot a disgusted look at Tamara.

Sebastian’s face darkened. “What makes you think I would have an arranged marriage with the Xanthos family?”

“But it’s the truth…” Rowena muttered unconfidently.

Sebastian had never agreed to a marriage with the Xanthos family. If anything, it was them who wished to use him to climb to the top.

“The Xanthos family isn’t even on my radar. Now if you would excuse me, Miss Xanthos.” Sebastian was cold and stared with distaste at Rowena before he ignored her completely and headed inside.

One scheming woman was hard enough to deal with. He didn’t want any more trouble.

Rowena was embarrassed. She observed Tamara with her teary eyes and found her standing quietly behind Sebastian.

Rowena knew there was more than met the eye when it came to this woman.

She actually got pregnant with Sebastian’s child! Damn it!

“Tamara Simmons!” Rowena stopped Tamara.

Tamara looked at her, confused.

Rowena walked up to her. “You can’t marry Sebastian. He’s way out of your league!”

Tamara calmly typed on her phone, “That’s none of your business.”

“You shameless whore!”

Tamara didn’t want to bother with Rowena and headed inside.

When Rowena saw this, her hateful glare fell onto Tamara’s stomach.

It was all because of the baby that Sebastian would marry her! If she got rid of the baby, Tamara would be nothing!

Rowena rushed toward Tamara and pushed her while yelling, “Go to hell, Tamara!”

Sebastian rushed over to support Tamara before kicking Rowena to the ground.

“Ouch!” Rowena cried out in pain. When she saw the cold look on Sebastian’s face, she was engulfed by fear. “Mr. Lynch, I didn’t mean it. I merely touched her…”

Sebastian’s gaze sent shivers down her spine. It was like he wanted to kill her.

Sebastian retracted his gaze and looked at the frightened Tamara in his arms. He asked in a lowered voice, “Are you alright?”

Tamara shook her head and looked on in gratitude. She never thought he would save her.

Sebastian stated blankly, “I’m just taking care of my child. I wouldn’t have helped otherwise.”

Tamara sighed. It was because of the child.

She stole a glance at Rowena and noticed the hatred in her eyes.

This got Tamara worried, and she instinctively put a hand over her stomach.

Sebastian pulled her back to reality. “What are you waiting for?”

Tamara snapped back to her senses and followed Sebastian inside.

Rowena’s face soured when she saw Sebastian p
