When Benjamin heard Chris' words, he was stupefied. "What did you say?" Benjamin thought he must have misheard something.What Susan had committed was arson. Benjamin thought it was impossible for her to be released as it was quite a serious crime."You don't believe what I say?" Chris asked."That's not it. It's just …""Harlet went to retrieve her himself. She was sleeping at the Winchester residence last night," Chris calmly revealed.Benjamin fell silent. His face immediately fell.He hadn't been paying attention to Susan's matter since she had been arrested. He couldn't believe what Harlet had done. Had he lost his mind?Chris had told him about it very calmly. Yet, Benjamin knew Chris wasn't trying to remind him that Susan had returned to the Winchesters. Instead, he was pointing out how important Susan was in the Winchesters.Even though Travis and Benjamin had a tough stance, the others didn't.Chris believed it depended on the elders whether Kathryn could be part of
Chris was drinking his milk when Kathryn was on her way downstairs. She ran her fingers through her hair and sat beside Chris. "Mrs. Lambert told me that Benjamin was here."She had addressed Benjamin very formally. It seemed the most appropriate way for her to call Benjamin at the moment.Chris looked at her and nodded. "Yeah. He was.""What did he say?"Kathryn was afraid to face the matter regarding the Winchesters.The Winchesters were in chaos. The situation was a mess, just like how the Alberts used to be when Krista officially wanted to recognize her as her daughter.There was no doubt that Franco was annoyed with her. After all, Krista had given birth to the daughter before marrying Franco. Franco was unaware of it. It was reasonable that he couldn't accept it no matter what.Yet, Kathryn truly felt repulsed when it came to the case regarding the Winchesters. They were supposed to be her family. She didn't expect them to have deep feelings for her, but she didn't want th
Jessica was still unconscious. Kathryn's heart ached when she saw Jessica's pale face. Kathryn was instructing the maids something at the ward's doorway when Arnold finished checking Jessica's condition and came out of the ward.She reminded the maids to forbid Krista into Jessica's ward no matter what happened. Even though Krista appeared to be under control at the moment, none of them could predict what she might secretly convey to Jessica, given her devious nature.Nora had taken note of what Kathryn had said. "Don't worry, Mrs. Albert. She won't be entering the ward anymore."She used to think it didn't matter as long as Krista didn't cause any harm to Jessica. She hadn't expected that Krista was such an odious person. She was surprised by what she had done.Kathryn nodded when she heard Nora's reply. "In any case, you have to stop her from entering the ward ever again.""Alright. I'll take note of it." Nora nodded.Arnold sighed when he noticed that Kathryn was being so de
Kathryn looked blank as she nodded. "I have no idea about it. How did you find out? You …"She found it difficult to continue what she intended to say.How did things turn out like this? She couldn't believe that Jessica was Krista's daughter."Is it confirmed?" Kathryn couldn't help but ask after pondering for a moment.Chris had mentioned to her before that the results of her DNA test with Krista were also positive. She didn't expect that things would be this bad.They didn't have the time to confirm the matter back then because of Jessica's illness. What Arnold had told her now wasn't what she had expected."It is confirmed, of course. There's nothing fake about it. What is it? I thought everyone who came for the matchmaking was your family and relatives, weren't they?"Kathryn was speechless. She was unable to think of anything at the moment.It sounded ridiculous that Jessica was Krista's daughter. Yet, since Arnold had said so, it was confirmed."Is Krista aware of this,
Kathryn couldn't bear it any longer. She pushed the ward door open forcefully. The door slammed open with a loud bang, echoing throughout the floor.Krista and Savanna had been feeling pleased with themselves. They were stunned by Kathryn's sudden appearance.Krista's face instantly darkened when she saw Kathryn. She instinctively hid the bottle of drugs behind her.She was furious that Kathryn had been eavesdropping. She was worried as Phineas was still in Byron's hands. She felt herself going crazy. Both Krista and Savanna looked embarrassed. They didn't expect that Kathryn would overhear their conversation.Kathryn was trembling with anger. "Stop hiding it. I've heard it. I've seen it as well. Krista Preston, how could you be so vicious?"As Krista thought, Kathryn had indeed overheard their conversation. Krista took a deep breath, attempting to remain calm. "You're such an uneducated brat. You can't even hide your contemptibility despite being Mrs. Albert. I can't believ
Kathryn was still attempting to kick Krista even though the security guards had pulled them apart. She was furious with how vicious Krista was. She wanted to rip her to shreds.Kathryn was a mother as well. She loved her own child so much. She couldn't understand how Krista could be so malicious.Krista was no longer part of the Alberts, and Franco also had a new mistress. She wouldn't be able to return to the Alberts even if she had succeeded in killing Jessica. The Albert Manor had become a place which she could only dream of returning.Kathryn couldn't understand why Krista was still behaving like that."Kathryn Michaels, I will never let go of you! I will never forgive you!" Krista shouted hysterically.Byron could hear the chaos from a distance as he arrived. He was stunned when he noticed that Kathryn and Krista had gotten into a fight as he approached the scene.After all, Kathryn had been urging him to wait until Jessica had completed her surgery before deciding to do any
Krista wouldn't dare to let something like that be shown to Byron. She refused to give it to Kathryn, no matter what.Yet, Kathryn was so strong that Krista couldn't resist her strength at all.Kathryn had forcibly snatched the bottle of drugs away from Krista's hand as she struggled. She then handed it to Arnold. "Dr. Burton, I told you she didn't deserve a chance for redemption when you suggested it, right?"You should've believed me! You were right about having faith in each other. But this woman right here isn't human at all!"Krista instinctively glanced at Byron when Arnold took the bottle of drugs from Kathyrn. Her face went paler.Byron cast a sullen glance at her, a look that filled her with fear. "What medicine is this? What will happen if my sister's surgery is carried out after she had this?" Kathryn asked.The instructions on the bottle were written in a foreign language. Kathryn couldn't understand foreign languages like this at all. Arnold, however, was able to
Yesterday's incident must have completely broken Jessica's spirit, as she still hadn't regained consciousness.Kathryn kept wiping her tears as she sat beside Jessica's bed. There was no doubt that Jessica's condition wasn't well.Krista had never taken a close look at Jessica's face. She wondered why she suddenly had a suffocated feeling as she looked at her right now.The paleness of Jessia's face gave Krista a feeling that she might pass away at any second. Krista could hardly breathe. She felt suffocated.Kathryn, who was inside the ward, was also upset."Come on, Jessica, wake up," Kathryn pleaded desperately, her distress evident in her voice. She couldn't understand why Krista could be so ruthless. How could she?Kathryn's heart was aching. She felt bad for Jessica. She was concerned about Kelly as well.How could Krista do something like that when Kelly was her own granddaughter?...Byron was at Arnold's office at the moment. As he examined the comparison of the c
