"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
Benjamin ate a lot in the evening. Kathryn was dumbstruck by his appetite. "You should eat less at night.""Do you think I eat too much? I don't mind increasing your living expenses!" Benjamin said."I'm worried about your health."After all, overeating would put a strain on one's health.Benjamin smiled. "I'm happy to know you're worried about me. I didn't dote on you in vain."Kathryn was speechless. Did he say he had been doting on her?Well, he wasn't wrong. Within the Winchester family, he and Travis harbored sincere affection for her, evident in the numerous gifts they bestowed upon her. However, she didn't have much reaction seeing those gifts, probably because she was together with Chris. Compared to the other Winchesters, their reactions were the same as Krista's back then, so their love for her had to be genuine....In contrast to the peaceful atmosphere in Sunshine Bay, Harlet returned to the Winchester residence with a frustrated expression.Things with the Winc
Did Harlet say the Winchester family? So, Susan had to choose between the Winchester family and her shares. Right now, Benjamin was only letting her pick one.Susan's heart ached when she thought of this. She never expected things between her and the Winchester family to reach this point.Seeing that Susan was silent, Harlet continued, "Susan, if you stay in this family, you'll have a place in Harborlean. You know that, right?"Susan remained silent. Of course, she knew that. But so what? When she thought of the profits those shares brought her yearly, she was unwilling to hand them over. But then, she remembered how cruel Benjamin was to her."Do I really have to give my shares away?""You saw how Benjamin is willing to go against Grandma because of you. Can you bear to see Grandma criticized at such an old age?"Susan remained silent. Once Harlet raised this point, she found herself unable to voice any further objections. Susan couldn't bring herself to protest. Since Emm
After dinner, Benjamin helped Kathryn take care of the baby. He didn't need to do so, but he loved his nephew very much, and the baby liked to be carried by him."As expected of our familial bonds, the baby's smiling in my arms."Kathryn was speechless. He sounded as if he was showing off.Kathryn and Chris could only see their son at night, so they wanted to play with him when they came home. But now, Benjamin was there, fighting for the baby's attention as well. He was truly a nuisance.While Benjamin played with the baby, his phone vibrated. He quickly handed the baby to Kathryn, then turned around to answer the phone. "Hello?"Kathryn had no idea what the phone call was about, but she saw Benjamin relaxing instantly. Benjamin said on the phone, "Okay, I'll head home immediately."After that, he hung up the phone. Then, he turned to look at Kathryn. "I'm heading out for a while. I'll be back in an hour."Kathryn was speechless. If he wanted to leave, he could just go. He didn
Harlet followed Benjamin out. "Benjamin.""What?""We won't see those reports anymore tomorrow, right?" Harlet asked breathlessly.In the past two days, those reports had almost overwhelmed them. Since Susan had signed the equity transfer agreement, it meant that everything was over, right?Benjamin turned around, sneering, "That depends on how Grandma handles this."Hearing this, Harlet felt his mind went blank. "W-What do you mean by that?"Since Benjamin wanted to see how Emma handled this, did he also want Emma's shares?Thinking of this, Harlet became gloomy. "A-Are you crazy?"Benjamin immediately left, ignoring Harlet's question.Harlet stood rooted on the spot, petrified. What on earth was Benjamin doing? Did he want his entire family to make it up to Kathryn for her hardships over the years?They didn't even cause her hardships, so why did they have to make it up to her? Even if they had to do it, they could just let her return to the family, and everything would be
