Markus simply said, "You should leave."

"What about the incident when Tally hit me…" Yvonne's voice trailed off, and she started crying softly. Finding it hard to express herself, she continued to whimper. She seemed vulnerable and upset.

When the whole hitting incident came up, Markus, who had softened a bit thinking about his mom, got all gloomy.

"You went to her place and started the fight, didn't you?" Markus asked.

"No… I just wanted to see what kind of person you're into, Markus."

Markus fell silent.

"We barely said anything, and she was the one who attacked me first," Yvonne explained with tears in her eyes.

With tears trickling down her face, her vulnerable demeanor made it convincing that she was telling the truth.

Markus frowned. "Wait, she started it?"

Yvonne nodded, tears streaming down. "Yes. She was the one who started it. I wouldn't have fought back otherwise."

Markus felt a surge of anger within him.

So it was Tally who initiated the whole thing. Knowing Tal

    Victor went quiet, caught off guard that Tally had just said that he wasn't good at cooking. "Well, doesn't everyone have to learn to cook somehow?" he asked.Tally retorted, "But it takes some natural talent."In her opinion, everything people do would require some level of innate ability. Cooking, in particular, was even more so. Using the same ingredients and same seasonings, yet different people create distinct flavors—that was where talent would come into play.When Drew came over, he caught Tally and Victor deep in a conversation about cooking talent.Drew's expression stiffened. He wondered when Victor became a culinary enthusiast. He was baffled that Victor had gone to such lengths for Tally's sake.Spotting Drew, Victor asked, "What brings you here?"Drew respectfully approached. "Mr. Glenn, there's a bit of a situation at Enchanté Club. They might need you to drop by."At the mention of Enchanté Club, Tally instinctively gave Victor a quick look.Truth be told, she

    Was Markus irritated that the current situation was so quiet that he decided to stir up some trouble?Tally took a deep breath. She was trying her best to suppress her rage."Tally Johnson, can you use your brain?" Markus growled, his frustration evident. Tally's anger flared up at Markus's growl. She snapped, "Of course I can! What the hell are you messing around for, Markus Hunt?"As she recalled what she had been through recently, she felt an overwhelming desire to tear him apart. Everyone in Harborlean believed she was tormenting Markus to the point that he had gone mad.Tally believed Markus had inherited his madness from his family. She was left speechless, realizing she had become the most heartless woman in Harborlean because of him.It was hard for her to grasp that Markus could manipulate everyone into believing such a thing. Additionally, she harbored resentment toward Markus for getting involved with Victor, especially since he hadn't ceased tormenting her.Markus f

    Tally was so furious that she felt like her blood vessels were on the verge of bursting. Meanwhile, Markus, on the other end of the phone, persisted, "Tally, Victor is a man with a lot of women. What do you think you mean to him?"Tally remained silent."Believing you'll be with him forever just because he got engaged with you and due to what you've been through at Montiwood is naive, don't you think?"Tally wondered if it was just her imagination, but she detected a hint of satisfaction in Markus' tone as he spoke.It seemed like Markus was reveling in the idea that Victor had completely abandoned her, and he couldn't wait to celebrate it.Tally began to question her ability to judge people, especially after the revelations about Markus' character. She couldn't understand why she hadn't noticed his viciousness when they worked together at the Albert Group."Hah, you act like you're morally superior to Victor. If he's not decent, it's safe to say you're not either. You wouldn't

    Henry believed he had made a mistake and was contemplating self-reproach. The desire to slap himself overwhelmed him.Markus, consumed by rage, was eager to confront Tally immediately and discern her thoughts."I think you should stop being mad about it. I'm sure Ms. Johnson wouldn't want to see you," Henry said."Is she reluctant to meet me because of Victor?"Henry, at a loss for words, grappled with how to convey the information to Markus.The Glenns were the ones truly responsible for the harm inflicted on the Hunts. However, Markus' impulsive actions had rendered everything futile. Uncertain of what to say, Henry recognized Markus' tendency to forget when enraged.Meanwhile, Tally was seething with anger. Victor came back at 11:00 pm after being away for around three hours since he left at 8:00 pm.Observing Tally's frustration, Victor inquired, "What's bothering you?""Markus Hunt!" Tally exclaimed through gritted teeth.Markus was the only one who could get under her

    Henry noticed it as well. He instinctively glanced at the back seat and said nervously, "Mr. Hunt, I think we should go back."Henry believed they shouldn't have come. He was certain that things would only turn into a mess.Henry, troubled and anxious lately, feared that Markus would barge into the villa. As he was lost in his thoughts, the car door unlocked, and Markus got out before he could react.Stunned, Henry's mind raced. Instinctively, he caught up before Markus had a chance to react."Mr. Hunt, Mr. Hunt!" Henry immediately held Markus tightly.They were at Serenity Heights, after all. It wouldn't do Markus any good if he caused trouble here tonight.Besides, everyone in Harborlean knew Victor's temper. He was a cold and dangerous person. Anyone who provoked him wouldn't end up well.However, none of them expected Victor to return at this hour. Markus initially came to Serenity Heights to get even with Tally. He didn't expect Victor, who had gone to find Raven, to have

    Despite the urgency of the situation, Chris prioritized comforting Kathryn, who was in his arms, before addressing anything else. With Kathryn in his embrace, he couldn't imagine anyone willingly getting out of bed at such a late hour.Chris was annoyed with Markus. He thought it was downright outrageous for Markus to try and take someone else's partner right in their own home just because Markus couldn't find a partner for himself.Chris believed that Markus was the one to blame for not handling Tally's situation properly. Seeing things spiral out of control, he thought Markus should have refrained from making a fuss about it any further. Persuading Markus seemed like an impossible task."Goodnight. I'll be back in a little while.""Is it because of Tally?" Kathryn lifted her head and asked."Most likely. Markus had gone to Serenity Heights. Tally's staying there with Victor."Understanding the situation through Chris' explanation, Kathryn didn't anticipate Markus being so persi

    The standoff reached an impasse.Victor stood firm, insisting that Markus had to face consequences or he wouldn't be allowed to leave Serenity Heights.Chris glanced at Tally, his eyes ablaze with suppressed anger and a subtle hint of something more.But Tally turned away, refusing to meet his gaze. She was equally infuriated with Markus. She wondered if Chris was hinting at her to persuade Victor. Frustration built up in her, given Markus's recent torment. She couldn't simply let him off without punishment.Observing Tally's demeanor, Chris gave Markus a meaningful glance. Markus caught the meaningful glance. He gritted his teeth in rage as he saw Tally's cold demeanor.Amid the silence, with no one uttering a word, Byron turned his gaze toward Victor. "I'll give you the West Peak Project."Victor responded with a sneer, "Do I appear to be the kind of man who would trade his wife for a deal?"Everyone remained silent."I'll give you Project Barrie as well.""What—" Victor

    Tally undeniably portrayed the traits of a businessman's daughter, willing to abandon anything for profit.In the pursuit of gain, she appeared to have conveniently forgotten the recent torment Markus had subjected her to.Chris and Byron couldn't help but speculate on Markus' level of irritation once he discovered that Tally had managed to gain the upper hand.…The chaos had finally ended. Once Chris left, Victor took Tally into his arms and questioned, "Why would you trade yourself for just two projects?""I actually only wanted Project Barrie, actually. The West Peak Project was unexpected, wasn't it?" Tally murmured.She had stayed silent when Byron mentioned the West Peak Project but readily agreed when he brought up the Barrie. Irina had mentioned the project a couple of times recently, and Tally knew it held significant potential.Victor remained displeased. "Well, Byron might have raised the stakes again if you hadn't agreed, wouldn't he?"Knowing the Hunts' tendency

    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.
