Kathryn intended to visit Jessica's doctor as she came out of her ward. Yet, she surprisingly overheard the two nursing assistants talking to each other when she was in the restroom. "I can't believe how generous Mrs. Preston was. She's got a point, you know. She's going to die, after all.""I know, right? And that sister of hers, I don't think the Alberts truly accept her even though she's the lady of the family. Things would probably be worse for her if Mr. Albert doesn't like her anymore one day.""Yeah. I guess we should just do what Mrs. Preston says at the moment. She's dying, after all. They can't blame us for that."The nursing assistants were secretly discussing it.Kathryn was infuriated as she listened to them inside the restroom partition. Her heart was burning with rage.She immediately came out from the partition, pushing the door open with a loud bang.Before the nursing assistants could realize what was happening, she grabbed each of them with her hands and forc
Kathryn was too busy to think about it too much. She left the restroom hurriedly after exchanging pleasantries with Jonathan.Jonathan watched her as she left the restroom and sent the video he had just recorded to Byron immediately after. He then texted him, "Someone in this hospital wants Ms. Jessica to die."The conversation immediately fell silent when Jonathan sent the message.Byron had arrived at the Albert Group at the moment. Chris had even delayed his meeting for an hour when he saw that Byron had come to the company.Yet, Byron had been smoking incessantly ever since he entered his office. It seemed that he had no intention of telling Chris about the purpose of his visit."Byron?"Byron immediately snapped back to reality as Chris called him. He took a last drag of his cigarette and looked toward Chris. He wanted to say something but eventually bit his tongue and remained silent.Chris suddenly recollected that Byron had once visited him before, claiming he wanted to
Chris finally knew what to expect.Byron lit up another cigarette and took an intense drag of it. Chris only looked at him calmly. He didn't say a word.None of them said anything before Byron finally left.Tara entered Chris' office hurriedly. "Mr. Albert, the copy of the recording footage we have been repairing was stolen.""Yeah, I know.""Y-You knew?" Tara was surprised.The footage was stolen just when the repair was about to finish. Undoubtedly, someone was secretly preventing them from continuing their investigation. Tara thought it meant that the man that night knew they were investigating it and was reluctant to let them figure out who he was."Yeah," Chris replied. He was sure that it was undoubtedly Byron who had done it.Byron clearly knew Chris would further investigate it once he discovered that the recording footage was stolen, so he had decided to admit it to him directly."What should we …" Tara couldn't hide her confusion as she looked toward Chris, who didn'
Kathryn was so infuriated that she was trembling with anger. "You're such a despicable woman. You'll be punished for what you've done.""Punish? You should be punished instead for taking something that doesn't belong to you, and I'll be the one who'll be giving you the punishment you deserve." Krista sneered.Kathryn's breathing deepened.Before she could say anything, Krista continued, "Kathryn, I have to say you're a really brave person. Yet, I have to remind you that it's less likely that Jessica would be able to survive."She's not able to withstand much torment now. You should ask Chris to return the Baydem Group to me if you want her to live."Krista was fierce as she spoke. She sounded like a person's life was nothing to her.She was willing to kill to get what she wanted. She looked like she didn't care if someone really died in front of her.Kathryn's chest was heaving intensely as she looked toward her. "The Baydem Group doesn't belong to me. It doesn't belong to you e
Kathryn had no idea how she had come out of Krista's villa.Her tense body instantly relaxed the moment she received Tally's phone call. She cried like a baby on the phone.Tally's heart missed a beat as she heard Kathryn cry. "Where are you?""I just came out from Krista's place.""Come to my apartment now, okay?""Okay."Tally didn't intend to meet Kathryn in a couple of days. Yet, she had no other choice as Kathryn was crying like that.Kathryn arrived at Tally's place half an hour later with a tear-streaked face. Tally embraced her in her arms. "Alright. It's not a big deal. It's not worth it for you to cry like this.""She's going too far!" Kathryn burst into tears."She's not a nice person. It's normal for her to go too far." Tally reassured her by patting her back with her hand.Kathryn was sniffling.Tally hobbled as she led Kathryn toward the couch. It was then that Kathryn realized that something was wrong with her walking posture."What's wrong with your leg?"
Chris' men wouldn't enter Jessica's ward as long as there wasn't any outbreak of conflict inside the room. That was why the nursing assistants had the chance to treat Jessica like that.Tally was infuriated as she heard what Kathryn had told her. "Krista is such a despicable bitch! I can't believe I used to think she was quite nice when she defended you back then."Krista couldn't be considered a nice person at all. She had always been a despicable person.Even though she had been affectionate to Kathryn when she found out that she was her daughter, they couldn't predict what absurd things would be waiting for Kathryn in the future either.It might be fortunate that Kathryn wasn't her daughter.Tally gritted her teeth furiously as Kathryn sniffled. "She'll never have the Baydem Group back."It didn't belong to Krista in the first place. Tally believed that she didn't have the right to take it back.Kathryn remained silent. She knew it was impossible to hand the Baydem Group to K
Jessica was truly suffering. Since the onset of chemotherapy, it seemed as though she was merely going through the motions of daily life.Kathryn had handled everything for her without a hint of complaint. Lying weakly on the bed, spoke, "Kat.""Yeah?""I'm sorry I'm becoming a burden to you now.""Stop talking nonsense. You're not," Kathryn promptly reassured her. "But I really feel like I'm becoming a burden to you." Jessica genuinely felt like that, especially when she saw how the others looked at her. "I'm thinking of transferring you to another hospital," Kathryn said.Kathryn believed that Krista had manipulated numerous things in this hospital. Despite her unsuccessful attempt to bribe the doctor, Kathryn was convinced Krista had meddled in various other matters.Kathryn acknowledged that there were undoubtedly many occurrences of which she remained unaware, given Jessica's remarks.Choosing not to delve deeper into the matter, Kathryn got straight to the point and
Kathryn no longer trusted anyone at the hospital after what Krista had done.Krista, seemingly unhinged, appeared at the hospital just as Kathryn and Kelly left. However, it wasn't easy for her to see Jessica this time, unlike before. Nalia promptly blocked her. "Mrs. Preston, Ms. Jessica is very weak and needs rest. Please understand."Despite Nalia's courtesy, her demeanor exuded unwavering determination.Krista scoffed at the sight of someone from Sunshine Bay blocking her way. "She's finally scared, I see."She was talking about Kathryn. Krista was convinced that Kathryn avoided arranging hospital care due to her fear for her. Krista took pleasure in the idea of Kathryn facing difficulties, viewing it as just considering the benefits Kathryn had received.Nalia remained silent, head bowed, a steadfast barrier against Krista.Krista glanced at her coldly and instructed, "Get out of the way.""I'm sorry. I can't."Krista's hand met Nalia's face in a swift, forceful slap a
