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

    Krista's face contorted with rage as she entered Jessica's ward, straightening her somewhat disheveled clothes. She directed her gaze at Jessica, who lay weakly on the hospital bed and uttered, "I now see the difference when one has a sister skilled in seducing men. You have so many people protecting you even when you're sick. Do you know how subservient Kathryn was in front of Chris for you?"Krista's words pierced Jessica's heart like a dagger. She had made derogatory remarks about Kathryn, whom Jessica cared for the most. Jessica only cast a cold glance at Krista but remained silent.Krista sneered. "Jessica Michaels, I would've just died if I were you. Why do you have to be such a burden? Do you have to be as shameless as your sister?""Enough," Jessica finally spoke.Unlike yesterday, Jessica wasn't devastated when she heard what Krista had said. Her face exuded calmness as she looked at Krista."Enough? How is this enough? Let me tell you—your demise will be at the hands

    After leaving the Hunt residence, Tally made her way directly to Victor's company.Worried she might lose her way, Drew had been waiting downstairs in anticipation of her arrival.When Tally saw Victor, her face lit up with joy."You should've seen Mr. Hunt Senior's expression earlier. He looked like he wanted to eat me alive." Tally couldn't help but laugh.Victor reached for her hand as they sat down on the couch together. "Were you scared?" he asked.As Tally sat down, she casually looked back and noticed a framed photograph on Victor's desk.Out of curiosity, she picked it up and examined it. But with just one glance, she froze in surprise."When... when was this taken?" she asked. Her shock was evident as she turned to Victor.The picture was taken back when they were at Beverly Peak, during his hospital stay after being bitten by a wolf.She remembered looking after him until she herself fell asleep.In the picture, her eyes were closed, her expression peaceful.Victor

    What made it even more absurd was that Elijah bought into it, too.Tally couldn't believe Elijah couldn't see through Markus' façade. He actually bought into Markus' excuse that his behavior was all because of her.And now he was acting like he'd rather die than leave her."Fucking hell," Tally muttered inwardly. She wondered who came up with this messed-up plan for Markus.Clearly, Tally couldn't quite grasp how Markus' mental state could deteriorate like this. However, given his history of going insane, this outrageous plan didn't seem entirely implausible.He was perfectly fine when he was with Albert Group, so how did he end up like this back at Skyline Group?Tally just couldn't figure it out.Elijah shot her a sharp look, gritting his teeth as he said, "You, leave!"Zane hesitated, saying, "Sir, but…""Just let her leave!" Elijah insisted.Elijah's words were punctuated by short, hurried breaths.Tally nodded, saying, "Mr. Hunt Senior, you're indeed the more rational o

    Elijah and Zane glanced at each other. Then, their stares turned sharper as they both fixed their eyes on Tally.Tally swallowed nervously. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?""You're not even married to Victor, so why are you calling yourself a married woman?" Elijah snapped, his anger evident.Tally remained silent.Observing Elijah's furious expression, she nonchalantly rummaged through her bag, retrieving the marriage certificate and wedding invitation.Then, she handed them over to Zane.Zane took the documents and swiftly flipped them open. His eyes widened in disbelief as he read through them.He promptly handed both documents over to Elijah.As Elijah took them and examined them, his expression darkened significantly upon seeing Tally and Victor's marriage certificate.He was shocked when he saw that their wedding date was today, along with the printed timestamp.In that instant, Elijah's breathing grew heavier.He glared at Tally with an

    Tally was completely baffled by what was happening."I've been straightforward about my feelings for him," Tally complained under her breath.From her perspective, if something were to happen to Markus now, she shouldn't be blamed solely for her decision to get married. Victor nodded, saying, "Yeah, I know."Victor had always been aware of this. By now, Markus had become such a puzzle that Victor couldn't quite figure him out.Considering how clear Tally had always been about her feelings toward Markus, it was puzzling how he got himself involved in this mess.This time, Victor didn't accompany Tally to the Hunt Residence. He believed she could handle the Hunt family on her own.The atmosphere at the Hunt residence was incredibly tense at the moment.The moment Tally stepped inside, she could practically feel the frost coming off Elijah. His gaze seemed to pierce right through her.Zane's tone was far from pleasant as he said, "Um, take a look at this."With that, he passed

    Tally was pretty happy a moment ago. But now, she was all worked up talking about the Hunts.Earlier on the road, Tally filled Victor in on the phone call she received from the Hunt residence.Victor's lips twitched as he heard the news. "So Markus left a suicide note and vanished?""Exactly. Can you believe the trouble he's stirring up now?" Tally shook her head incredulously.Tally was utterly exasperated with Markus by now. It had been a while since this whole thing started.She had to admit, these days had been incredibly "fulfilling" for her. It was so fulfilling that it almost left her reeling.And it wasn't just Tally struggling to keep up. Even Victor had been taken aback by how things were unfolding.He shot Tally a look of disbelief. "So you're going to the Hunt residence now?""Yeah, I'm going. I want those Hunts to know that I'm officially yours. Let's see if they have more shameless tricks up their sleeves."When it came to describing the Hunts, Tally summed it up

    Tally was beginning to see where Markus got his persistent nature from. It ran in the family. It was as the saying went—like father, like son.No sooner had she ended the call, the phone rang again.Tally took a deep breath, reminding herself that today was supposed to be a happy day, not one filled with annoyance.But dealing with these people…After giving it some thought, she hesitantly answered, "Zane!""Ms. Johnson, you might want to come over to the Hunt residence."Tally asked, "What's going on now?"She was almost out of patience with these people.Zane explained, "Mr. Markus left behind a suicide note."Tally's expression froze in disbelief.A suicide note? Tally couldn't comprehend what was happening. She wondered if Markus was pulling another one of his stunts.It had only been less than an hour since Elijah arranged his marriage, and now he went ahead and left a suicide note."Where is he?" Tally raised an eyebrow.With everything happening so quickly, it all f

    Looking at her identification papers, Tally let out a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Tally had some knowledge of her father's habits. Otherwise, guessing the password for the safe, which belonged to her comatose father, would have been a daunting task.When Irina called, Tally answered, "Hey, Irina.""Guess what? Markus is engaged!""What?" Tally was shocked.Irina shared her surprise."This time, it seems Mr. Hunt Senior might genuinely have it out for you. We haven't even made a move, and suddenly they're announcing Markus and Sarah's engagement.""Sarah?" Tally was even more surprised.It was only today that they found out who had been secretly admiring Markus. Before they could even step in, Elijah had taken the initiative.It seemed like all these years, Elijah appeared unconcerned, but he actually knew everything.But if he was dead set on hating her, then so be it. Tally couldn't care less.On the other hand, if Elijah truly desired for her and Markus to be together all

    Elijah said, "Very well, then."Thinking about his troublesome son, Elijah wondered how he hadn't noticed Markus' extremity in his romantic pursuits before.Elijah was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath.Giving Markus a fierce look, he tried to hold back. Despite that, he couldn't resist putting in one final word, "No matter how much you want to be with Tally, I won't allow it."This time, there was no room for negotiation.At Elijah's words, Markus' eyes turned cold. "I'm afraid you have no say in this.""You..." Elijah's breath hitched as he heard Markus' retort. In a fit of rage, he grabbed a teacup and hurled it toward him.At that moment, Elijah felt an overwhelming urge to lash out at Markus.Elijah insisted, "Regardless of your decision, you and Sarah are officially engaged starting today."His tone was unusually firm.At this point, Elijah wasn't asking for Markus' opinion. He was simply informing him.Regarding Tally becoming Elijah's daughter-in-law, Elijah

    Kathryn was confused when Jessica suddenly shoved her into the car and promptly closed the door. With her hand still gripping the door handle, Kathryn looked up at Jessica and suggested, "Uh, how about dinner tonight?"Upon hearing Kathryn's dinner suggestion, Jessica paused before nodding and responding, "Let's talk about it later. I'll give you a call."Jessica seemed really busy, and Kathryn could tell from the way she talked that she was in a rush.Kathryn couldn't help but feel for Jessica as she watched her close the car door and hurried off toward the nearby office building, waving goodbye as she went.Kathryn found herself wondering who Jessica was in such a rush to meet.Kathryn couldn't resist stealing a glance back as the car pulled away. In that brief moment, Kathryn's heart skipped a beat as she saw Jessica walking alongside Lloyd. They were heading toward the glass doors of the building.Before Kathryn could double-check what she saw, the car had already turned.
