Kathryn saw Krista handing a thermos food jar to Nora at the ward's doorway when she arrived at the hospital.

Nora looked like she was having a hard time.

Noticing Nora's evident concern, Krista grew anxious and quickly reassured, "There's really no poison in it!"

She was aware of the many damnable things she had done.

She knew the people guarding around worked under Chris. They were here to protect Jessica.

There was no denying that they hesitated to accept what she intended to give Jessica because of her past actions. Krista considered it entirely understandable, acknowledging that they faced the consequences of her previous misdeeds.

Krista was no longer arrogant and proud like before. Noticing that Nora was reluctant to give in, she poured half a bowl of soup from the food jar and hastily finished it without minding the heat.

"Look, I've had it myself. You should believe me now." Krista sounded anxious as she spoke.

Nora remained silent. She looked at her with her brows fur

    Krista had completely given up on the Alberts. She only wanted to make amends with Jessica at the moment.The change in her behavior seemed to have brought tranquillity to the entire Harborlean. After all, she had been causing quite a bit of trouble recently. Everything seemed to have returned to peace because of her.However, she was undoubtedly a subject of mockery among the wives of the wealthy families in Harborlean. Gossip about her circulated without a doubt.…Kathryn experienced a slight relief as Jessica's surgery turned out successful. In contrast, Tally had been confronted with a significant life change, quite distinct from the circumstances of the Alberts.She couldn't figure out why Markus had attempted suicide. The cuts on his wrist were extremely deep.Tally was so immersed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice it when Irina placed the report in front of her. Irina waved before Tally. Yet, there was still no response. Irina couldn't help but ask, "Could

    Tally remarked, "I can't believe they're only targeting pushovers." Tally was furious that everyone was criticizing her alone, as they didn't dare to gossip about the Glenns.Irina smiled when she noticed how furious Tally looked. "Nobody would dare to talk behind your back once you're married to Mr. Glenn."What Irina said was true. After all, everyone believed that Tally couldn't marry the Glenns anymore after what Markus had done. That was the reason why people had been treating her so harshly. Tally sneered as she thought of it. "Well, I guess it's just because the Johnsons aren't powerful enough.""The Johnsons are powerful. It's just that they seldom cause harm to anyone," Irina thoughtfully reminded Tally.Tally was slightly stunned as she recalled how amiable and kind Randall used to be, regardless of the situation. This was especially true when he interacted with his colleagues at work; his treatment of his partners was impeccable.Was their kindness the reason why pe

    Irina entered Tally's office five minutes later, intending to collect the signed documents as she assumed Tally had already finished the phone call. She saw Tally sitting on her chair, looking blank.Irina frowned as she approached her. "What happened again?""Is Markus really going to kill himself?" Tally looked toward Irina numbly. She could hardly hear her own voice.She couldn't believe it was Markus whom she had been speaking to on the phone just now. Why would he say something like that? Was he really going to jump off the hospital's rooftop? Tally was left in a state of shock at the mere contemplation of it.Irina was speechless. She couldn't believe that Tally was still trying to figure out the matter after five minutes.Tally stood up and kept her phone in her bag as if she intended to go out.Noticing what Tally was doing, Irina asked, "Are you going out?""Markus wants to commit suicide. He's going to set me up."Irina was confused. She couldn't understand how Ta

    Kathryn was puzzled."I'm sure he must've gone mad," Tally said. She concluded that it was the only reason that could possibly explain his current behavior.Kathryn and Tally were discussing in front of the hospital's entrance. Kathryn was still talking to Tally when Chris arrived at the hospital to pick Kathryn up. "That must be it. He must've really gone mad. I would've lost my mind as well if I was him.""Why?" Tally's mind went blank when she heard what Kathryn had said.She wondered if she had really crossed the line. She didn't think she had done anything at all. She found herself self-condemning in terms of both conscience and morality. After all, Markus had seemingly lost his sanity because of her."How can he not lose his mind? He has lost both his relationship and his money."Tally was speechless. She admitted that she had made Markus lose a lot of his money. However, she refused to admit she was responsible for Markus' relationship.She seriously corrected Kathryn

    Tally hastily hurried toward the hospital's rooftop.The layout of the hospital building was quite weird. There were no elevators to the last three floors. She had to climb the stairs.Breathless from the climb, she scaled the stairs, acknowledging her insufficient exercise during her office routine. Upon reaching the rooftop, she discovered a lack of any notable presence."Huh?"Didn't Markus tell her that he was going to jump off the building? Tally wondered why he wasn't around at all.Enraged and furious with his behavior, Tally believed Markus would be on the rooftop if he intended to jump off the building. Her confusion grew as he was nowhere to be found.Where else could he be? Was he planning to jump off from the ward's window?Exhausted, Tally's mental faculties were slowing down, making it challenging for her to think clearly. She tried to figure out the most plausible location where Markus might contemplate jumping off the building.Her phone suddenly vibrated. Takin

    Victor confirmed that Tally had gone to witness Markus attempting to jump off the building. He was left speechless regarding Markus, unable to believe he would employ such a tactic to lure Tally to him.He wondered what Tally felt when she went to check on Markus on the rooftop. Tally had no desire to witness Markus taking the leap, yet she harbored resentment for how he had tricked her. Despite planning how to convince him not to jump, she nervously braced herself throughout the journey, only to discover she had been fooled. Thankfully, everything was okay. It was a good sign.They continued their conversation for a while before ending the call. Victor's concerns about Tally visiting Markus at the hospital had dissipated.He finally sensed how emotionally insensitive Tally was.Tara was beside Victor. She noticed how Victor kept smiling after the call and didn't understand why. "What are you smiling at?""I'm laughing at Markus. Byron has a very interesting brother," Victor s

    During Tally's time with the Albert Group, she had to go to many places every day for her work in sales.She might have been the Johnson family's only daughter, but Randall was strict with her when she was learning at the Albert Group. As a result, she couldn't afford to drive her car most of the time to save money.Back then, she was in excellent physical shape. How had she become physically unfit after returning to the Johnson Group for a few days?Tally was already displeased from the outset. Now, she was enraged after hearing the tone Markus used to speak to her. "It's none of your concern. What's the matter with you? I thought you wanted to jump off a building. Is this where you plan to do it?"Markus was rendered speechless.Henry, who was pouring water for Markus, was equally speechless.They were stunned by Tally's preposterous complaint and resentful tone. Her attitude and tone made it seem like it was wrong for Markus not to jump off the building today.Henry was stunn

    However, sensing something might be amiss with Markus' mind, Tally opted not to be overly direct. Inhaling deeply, she struggled to contain the stifling emotions in her heart and asked, "So, everything okay with you?"Markus asked, "What do you think?"Tally said, "I think you're fine. After all, you are…"What about him? Tally thought of bringing up the old days in the Albert Group.The thought crossed her mind that Markus might be grappling with some mental distress. Consequently, she refrained from expressing the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Revisiting the past under these circumstances could have adverse effects on Markus. Tally felt caught in a difficult position.Markus heard her. Looking at her coldly, he asked, "What am I?"Tally was silent.Cold-hearted, ruthless, sharp, and discerning—these were words she had used to describe Markus when she was in the Albert Group.Tally took a deep breath. "Nothing. Tell me. Why did you call me?"Struggling to contain

    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.
