At this point, Emma couldn't wait to kick Benjamin out of the house.She couldn't take a minute more of that rascal anymore!When Susan saw Emma, she cried even louder, "Grandma!"Emma's head throbbed even more.She walked downstairs and sat opposite Benjamin, glaring at him fiercely. "Tell me what you want!"Benjamin answered, "I have something to announce."Their hearts dropped when they heard Benjamin had something to announce.Harlet instinctively looked at Benjamin.Benjamin raised his gaze and glanced at the three of them. Then, he asked, "So, all of you want Susan to stay?""Susan has to stay in the Winchester residence," Emma said assertively.Benjamin nodded. "Sure, we can do that!"Harlet was silent.Susan and Emma were at a loss for words.Did he just agree to it?However, after that, three of them expected him to take back his word. It was never going to be that simple.As expected, the next moment, Benjamin went upstairs and brought three documents with him.
All she heard was Benjamin's reply, "From the day you burned down Kathryn's building, you were nothing to me.""It wasn't me …""You don't need to deny it. I know full well what you did."His tone was assertive and sharp.It was as if he saw through Susan's thoughts, which made the way Susan's lie even more brusque.Harlet said, "Benjamin, Susan is right. She grew up with us!""Shut your trap!"Benjamin was furious listening to Harlet. He didn't want to hear a word from his little brother.This rascal didn't know what he was up against.Harlet was rendered speechless.He looked at Benjamin in agony. Then, he looked at Susan, who was teary-eyed.Benjamin felt nothing for Susan. However, Harlet's heart was for Susan.Emma's face turned ugly. "I will not sign this!"She knew what the consequences were after signing the equity transfer agreement.She initially planned to give her shares to Susan as part of her dowry. How could she give it to Kathryn?"Yes, the beneficiary of
Benjamin scowled over the phone.Harlet and Susan were equally speechless.They were unsure what Benjamin wanted to talk to Harlet about.Benjamin was angry, but he didn't leave immediately. Now, he was asking to talk to Harlet. It seemed important.Harlet replied, "Okay, I'm coming!"He wasn't happy with Benjamin's attitude. However, he didn't dare go against his brother.He turned to leave after hanging up.But, Susan grabbed his wrist. "Harlet.""Benjamin is looking for me. I am going to meet him.""Are you abandoning me too?" Susan said painfully.Her eyes looked pitiful. Harlet's heart ached tremendously.He patted her back to comfort her and said, "Don't worry. I won't."He could empathize with how fearful Susan was since the family was arguing about whether she should stay.Susan nodded compliantly. "Okay, you go."Harlet nodded and went out the door."Susan didn't know what Benjamin wanted to talk to Harlet about.But, her gut told her Benjamin must have discove
Yet, Harlet hadn't figured it out at this point. Once he signed this agreement, he would continue to suffer financially if he didn't cut ties with Susan.Harlet pleaded, "Do we have to take things this far?""Are you going to sign it?""I …""If you're not signing it, get lost!"After all, Benjamin had his ways of squeezing Harlet dry of his money.He started exerting his dominance on money matters. It was only a matter of time before he would take everything back.Previously, he had extended an olive branch to Susan.It was a shame Susan didn't appreciate him extending the olive branch.Harlet asked, "Are you planning to transfer these to Kat?""What else would it be? Do you think I care about these things?"Harlet was at a loss for words. He agreed to it. He didn't have that many shares within the company anyway.However, it was greedy of Benjamin to want these minuscule shares for Kathryn.However, since it was for Kathryn, he complied. He considered it as his gift from
The baby didn't even cry once.Kathryn and Chris were rendered speechless.That little traitor!Perhaps it was the power of a blood relative.Benjamin touched the baby's forehead and said, "This won't do. We need to make his fever go away as soon as possible.""He has a fever patch and has taken his medication," Kathryn said.There was a doctor and nanny in Sunshine Bay.The nanny should know enough about these things.Yet, Benjamin touched the baby's hands and feet and looked at Kathryn, "Who asked you to remove the baby's socks?""He has a fever, so it was to dissipate the heat.""That's nonsense! Give me the baby's socks." Benjamin carried the baby to the sofa.He took a blanket and swaddled the baby with it.Kathryn objected, "You can't do that. The doctor said not to swaddle the baby.""Is the doctor even qualified to be one? Does he even know what he is doing? How is the baby's body supposed to dissipate heat? His hands and feet are cold."Kathryn said in surprise,
Benjamin forced his way into staying in Sunshine Bay in the most thick-skinned manner possible.He wanted to improve his relationship with his sister.However, the Winchesters fell into more disaster by his actions.He exposed how Emma objected to Arthur's relationship with Scarlett.He also exposed that Susan was Scarlett's daughter, the daughter Arthus desired but could never have.Before this, everything was merely speculation. Now, it was all over the Internet.Emma and Scarlett's relationship had become the talk of the town once again.The Winchesters were in utter chaos.Even the maid looked at Susan differently now.Emma was red with anger. "Is that rascal trying to kill me?"No one expected a smart woman like her to be cornered by her grandson at this age.Emma was about to go crazy.When Susan read the news, she looked at Emma. She wanted to ask something, but no words came out."Grandma!""Shut up, and stop talking!" Emma was fuming with rage. She didn't want to
"Winchester Group's shares?""Yes!"Winchester Group was under Benjamin's care now.However, he gave Harlet's shares to Kathryn.He must have failed to talk to Susan about her shares, so it stirred up trouble.Needless to say, Susan cooked up a lot of chaos previously.Now, Benjamin had given her the comeuppance she deserved."I don't want them!" Kathryn said without hesitation.Harlet was an annoying man. If she took his shares, he would find trouble with her.Kathryn was afraid of trouble. So, she refused to get her hands dirty with anything that would bring her trouble.Chris said, "Benjamin was worried you wouldn't want them, so he gave them to me.""Then …""Take it. He cares about you," Chris said.Benjamin wasn't astounding in character, but he treated his sister well.Byron was associated with the Hunt family. Plus, Phineas was Chris' brother.That was why Chris couldn't go against Krista head-on. So, Benjamin offered a lot of help in this regard.He decided to
Benjamin noticed they were staring at him and not eating their food. He quickly told them, "Come on, eat. Don't just stare at me."He made it sound like it was his house.Kathryn drank a cup of warm water. Then, she started having her chicken noodle soup.Benjamin continued, "The chef in Sunshine Bay is the best. The food is tasty."Kathryn was at a loss for words.He could just say that he wanted more food. It was pointless bringing the chef into the conversation.Benjamin didn't care and finished serving after serving.When he asked for a fifth serving, Kathryn and Chris couldn't hold it in any longer and wanted to say something.Before he could say anything, Benjamin said, "The soup tastes amazing, but the bowl is so small."He blamed his huge appetite on the size of the bowl.His claim wasn't valid.He ate a lot yesterday and ate the same amount today. He had to be thankful that he was not obese at this rate.The kitchen prepared more food than usual today. They knew Be
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.
