Kathryn was also worried about Jessica, so Tally didn't want to give her any more trouble. Thus, when Kathryn asked what happened, Tally waved her hand. "Everything is fine. You should go home!"Seeing that Tally didn't answer, Kathryn didn't press her for answers. She knew her friend was upset about Markus, and now, she was Victor's fiance.Kathryn didn't know what made Tally so annoyed. After parting ways with Tally, she looked at her phone while the car was being driven. She then found out why Tally was in the hospital.Markus had slit his wrist. Did he do it because Tally and Victor were getting married?When Markus' astute yet cold visage appeared in her mind, Kathryn sucked in a harsh breath. Hang on. This was …When she arrived at Albert Group, she still hadn't recovered from the shock.Chris knew Kathryn was coming, so he asked Tara to prepare lunch. When Kathryn arrived in his office, Tara had just put the lunch on the table.Seeing Chris, Kathryn approached him and sai
After that, they were at odds for a long time, matching wits.No matter how hard Markus tried, he still couldn't win Tally back. But even so, he wouldn't try to kill himself because of that.Chris was shocked by Kathryn's news. He looked at her strangely. "Where did you hear that from?""I saw it on the Internet. Look!" As Kathryn said this, she was about to open the web page detailing Markus' attempted suicide on her phone and show it to Chris. However, it was nowhere to be found now."Wait, I saw it on my way here. Call the news website and ask them if you don't believe me."She wouldn't be mistaken about such an important piece of news. She was sure that she had seen it. But why was it gone now?Kathryn was puzzled, but Chris had already gotten up to make a phone call. As she watched Chris, she couldn't help but click her tongue. No matter how strong a man was, he would lose the will to live the moment he suffered from emotional shock.…At the hospital, Byron looked at Ma
Like with Byron just now, Markus didn't know how to answer Chris' question. Right now, he was like a rebellious child, and there was nothing anyone could do."Fine!" Chris said. He wasn't one to talk much. Since Markus wasn't answering his question, he wouldn't press him for answers.After all, if Markus was truly emotionally vulnerable, asking more questions would only make him feel more irritated.Markus thought Chris would stop after hanging up. Unexpectedly, he called Byron instead.Byron glanced at his brother before answering the phone. "Chris!""You have to be careful around Markus. I think he's a little mentally disturbed."The call was on speakerphone, and both Byron and Markus were speechless.Markus was going nuts right now. How on earth would Chris tell he was mentally disturbed?He even said such words at a time like this. It wasn't appropriate at all. He couldn't just casually say if someone was mentally well or not.Byron was stunned for a moment. Then, he chuck
Meanwhile, Tally returned to the Johnson Group. She was still a little confused when she talked about this with Irina. "I didn't even do anything during this time, so why did he kill himself?"It wasn't good for a man to cause such a fiasco.Tally was really depressed, especially after seeing the tourniquet on Markus' wrist. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that he tried to kill himself."He was doing fine, so why did he .." Tally was stunned. She didn't know what to say about Markus.To be honest, they also worked with Markus for a long time when they were in the Albert Group. She never knew he was this emotionally fragile.Irina grimaced. She felt a little guilty and didn't dare to answer her question.Noticing that Tally remained silent, Tally looked at her. "He wasn't like this before.""People can change!" Irina said, somewhat conflicted.Tally said, "But this change is too drastic. His actions were extreme. Really extreme."Irina remain
"Where are you?" Victor asked."The company," Tally muttered.Victor seemed to be relieved when he heard that she was there. He said, "I'll come see you right away."Tally said, "Alright. Go ahead."After returning from Montiwood, she had been living in Serenity Heights, and they had become closer. In a sense, they were going to be fire-forged lovers until the very end."Is Mr. Glenn coming over?" Irina asked.Tally nodded. "Yeah. He obviously wants to ask me for an explanation." She sounded a bit angry.Irina remained silent, not daring to say anything. That accident really caused several misunderstandings, and she felt bitter about it. So, the only thing she could do now was remain silent.Irina had worked with Victor for years, and she knew very well that things would get worse if she did anything. Things would still be okay if she didn't explain anything. But if she did, everything would be ruined.Victor soon arrived at Tally's company. Seeing this, Irina hurried out of t
Tally was losing her mind over Markus' attempted suicide. Every time she went out, everyone would look at her with suspicion as if she was a murderer. She hadn't done anything wrong.…In contrast to Tally's dilemma, Kathryn was much more relaxed. There were a lot of people taking care of Jessica's problem. Even Krista had calmed down now, which gave her some breathing room.However, she was now entangled in the Winchester family's business. Harlet somehow learned that Benjamin had taken up residence in Sunshine Bay. So, he had been visiting him every day, clearly because of Susan.Harlet came over again on the day before Jessica's surgery. When Kathryn saw him, she was about to walk somewhere else, but he had already seen her. "Kat, wait."Harlet approached Kathryn, causing her to halt her walk when he called out to her. During this period, he made some absurd requests to Benjamin, yet he didn't create any problems for her.Harlet walked up to her and was about to say something,
With Harlet's remark, Kathryn realized there was nothing more to discuss between them.Kathryn turned to leave. Just then, Harlet asked, "Are you really that cold-hearted?" Harlet was panicking. Kathryn knew what happened a few days ago but was still indifferent. She was heartless.Kathryn stopped walking and turned around. "Did you just say that I'm cold-hearted?"Harlet's perception of right and wrong genuinely dumbfounded Kathryn. She couldn't believe he said she was cold-hearted. Harlet felt a lump in his throat. "Your father is a stranger to you, and Grandma stands as your elder. Even if you feel Susan is hindering your return to our family, they are still your kin."Kathryn was dumbfounded. Kin? Harlet truly had a way with his words. Her so-called kin didn't even bother to come to see her after learning about her existence, all because of their adopted daughter.When they came to see her, it was all about wanting Susan to remain in the family and using her to talk sense
Not only did Benjamin abandon Susan, but he also had intentions to forsake Harlet. Harlet stared at Benjamin, breathless.Benjamin spat, "Get out of here."He had run out of patience for Harlet. Despite revealing everything, Harlet remained on their side, ignorant of the truth. Benjamin decided to act as though Harlet didn't exist.Harlet asked, "You'll only let Susan stay in the family if Grandma and Susan hand over their shares, right?""That's right!"Harlet was speechless. Was Benjamin really determined to upend everything if they didn't hand over their shares? Was this how he intended to handle things? Was he unwilling to show mercy to his own family?Benjamin's current demeanor left Harlet feeling as if he were a total stranger. In the end, Harlet left in disappointment.Upon entering the house, Benjamin noticed that Kathryn had already started on her dinner. He quickly approached. "Aren't you going to wait for me?"Kathryn retorted, "We don't have such rules here!"No
