After so many years, Susan finally stepped into this place. Susan found the room's colors still vibrant, with not a speck of dust in sight.

The room had splashes of pink and aqua blue, carrying a strong feminine vibe.

Every ornament and decoration had been made by Charlotte.

People said Charlotte saw Susan as her own, placing her in the palm of her hands. Yet, only Susan knew how Charlotte treated her differently.

An adoptive daughter would always be distinct from a biological one.

The clothes in the wardrobes were stocked well. There were clothes for every age, from baby clothes to clothes for a young woman.

The shoes were all from famous brands back in the day.

There were five wardrobes in the small annex. Even then, it wasn't enough to fit what Charlotte had prepared. The many rooms there were filled with items for the real daughter.

Each time Susan came here, she grew more envious of the real daughter. She wanted to live in this annex, but Charlotte and her father, Arthur,

    Emma could discern a newfound resolve and weightiness in Arthur's tone, a quality she had not witnessed before. It left her feeling uneasy. When facing impending loss, it was typical for people to reflect on cherished memories.That was how she was with Arthur. Her mind now overflowed with memories of the mature and admirable Arthur from the past.After a long while, Emma said this lightly, "So, we know for sure now." Was everything concluded that the truth was confirmed? Over the years, she gave Charlotte the cold shoulder and made things difficult for her. Now, upon reflection, she questioned the purpose of it all.Arthur had always longed for his wife. Throughout the years, he hadn't dared to reminisce. He hadn't dared to acknowledge that he failed to protect his wife.Emma had been too headstrong then, and he had been too engrossed in work. He was oblivious to the extent of his wife's suffering. Eventually, illness befell her.Arthur stayed silent.Emma didn't continue

    The butler replied, "It is not Ms. Susan. It is the other Ms. Winchester, the one who had yet to return." It was Kathryn's annex.Emma heaved a sigh of relief. The worry on her face dissipated. However, Arthur's face darkened. "Put the fire out!""The fire is spreading really fast. We can't put it out at all. We've called the fire department already."Arthur staggered and jumped from the bed, ready to charge outside.Everything in the annex was something Charlotte had prepared for Kathryn. Arthur couldn't bear to see them burn before him.…Arnold was occupied in a meeting when Kathryn arrived at the hospital. She waited for two hours before she saw Arnold.Arnold said to her, "There are some complications from the donor.""What kind of complication?" Kathryn asked.Her heart leaped into her throat.Arnold explained, "The donor's mother is currently at a different hospital and is facing high medical expenses."Kathryn stayed silent."So, that person is willing to donate

    As Kathryn mentioned that, Jessica sighed. "Kat, I've never thought it would be this difficult to leave the hospital once I've checked in." She thought it was just the flu when she first arrived at the hospital. Never did she imagine that stepping into the hospital would mean never stepping out again.When Kathryn heard the sadness in Jessica's tone, she gently held Jessica's hand.Before Kathryn could say anything, Jessica asked, "Any updates on the man?"Jessica was still persistent about finding that man.Despite her uncertain survival, Jessica remained steadfast in her quest to find the man Kelly could call "Dad".With a sound mind, Jessica had narrowed her focus to one thing she was confident about.Kathryn was stunned when Jessica brought the man up. She had been preoccupied at the hospital in the past few days. When she saw Tara today, she had forgotten to ask for updates about this man's whereabouts. She also hadn't received any reports from Tara to Chris."Tara didn

    Jessica had no choice but to listen to Kathryn.Deep down, she harbored a genuine desire to live. Yet, the absence of visible hope was agonizing.After conversing with Jessica for a while, Kathryn left the hospital.The hospital had found a donor, and Arnold was actively tending to Jessica's health. The hope was for the operation to take place as swiftly as possible. They were fully aware that initiating the operation marked the beginning of another arduous battle.But if Jessica didn't go through with the operation, she would lose her life.…The news about the Winchester residence's fire had reached Benjamin's ear. Initially, he had no intention of returning home and remained emotionally distant from the Winchesters.However, his demeanor took a drastic turn upon learning that the building his mother had prepared for his sister had caught fire. He went home hastily.Upon arrival, all that met his eyes were ruins and billowing black smoke. It required no genius to conclude t

    When Eliza made that statement, the atmosphere in the living hall grew colder than ever before.Susan's face lost all color as she stared at Eliza. Then, she looked at Benjamin. "She doesn't know what she's saying. Don't believe her, Benjamin. I didn't go to your sister's annex today. Plus, I wouldn't set it on fire even if I was there. I wouldn't," Susan insisted, a painful expression on her face. However, Benjamin was right. She was the one who set that annex on fire.All these years, that building was a brutal reminder of who she was. It reminded her that no matter how much she did, she would never amount to the daughter they longed to find.She was the one who had lived with this family all these years. She had worked hard to do so much for everyone. She didn't understand why they couldn't forget that long-lost girl.Every new year, they would visit that annex. Despite the love she received, she was never permitted to enter. It seemed her presence would taint the very air wit

    Even so, Benjamin uttered coldly, "Call the cops."Eliza wasted no time in carrying out Benjamin's command and promptly dialed the police.Arthur trembled with anger, his already weakened body now feeling even more fragile. He grappled with the harsh reality of mortality, compelled to accept the cruelty it brought.However, he felt terrible witnessing his children tearing each other apart overnight."Are you trying to escalate this to a point of no return? Is that what will satisfy you?" "Yes!" Benjamin exhaled a mouthful of smoke, delivering the word with icy indifference. Arthur and Emma were left utterly speechless.Benjamin took another drag of the cigarette. Without waiting for their response, he continued, "Back in the day, you didn't care how messy things were. You didn't care about my mother's feelings either. Now you know what it feels like to have a chance of no turning back."Have you considered the consequences of everything that happened back then?"At this mome

    Kathryn despised anyone who would speak for Susan. Nonetheless, she got out of the car.At this moment, Harlet was standing three feet away from the car, smoking. Sadness lingered in his frown. Kathryn glanced at her phone for the time. She didn't want him to waste too much of her time here.Harlet explained, "There was a fire at the Winchester residence tonight. It was your annex. Benjamin is blaming the whole thing on Susan."From the simple explanation, Kathryn could tell how chaotic it must have been at the Winchester residence tonight.She kept quiet.She understood the purpose of Harlet's visit to her. To no surprise, it was for Susan.If Susan were not at her wits' end, anyone who loved her would never appear before Kathryn.To Kathryn's surprise, she had an annex at the Winchester residence. She had no clue how massive the Winchester residence was. She had never been there before.However, among Chris' friends, Travis and Victor were the richest. So, she knew the Winc

    Kathryn no longer wanted to engage with Harlet when she finished speaking. She turned around and got into the car.However, Harlet couldn't shake off the snippets of Kathryn's words that echoed in his mind. He was flabbergasted.Did she say he was disgusting?How dared she!Already unhappy that she didn't address him by name, Harlet was now appalled by her labeling him as disgusting.As Harlet stared at the car distancing from him, anger overcame him, and his head throbbed immensely.In the car, Kathryn looked at the trees fading outside the window. Her heart felt as cold as an iceberg.Although she didn't care much for this group of people, they still affected her mood.When she returned to Sunshine Bay, Chris was waiting for her in the dining room.When he saw her return, he stood up. "Didn't you call earlier? Why did you take so long to come back?"Considering the timing of her call, even if she didn't encounter any traffic lights, she should have arrived earlier.Kathryn

    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

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.
