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

    Enraged by Markus' insistence on returning to Serenity Heights, Byron couldn't contain his anger and smacked Markus on the back of his head. "This is enough!" Byron exclaimed. The prospect of having such a brother irritated him further. Markus demanded, "I'm going to Serenity Heights no matter what. Let's go now—start up the car!"Byron found it hard to catch his breath after hearing Markus' determined words.The driver, seated at the wheel, unconsciously glanced at Byron through the rearview mirror, sensing Markus' unwavering resolve.Byron couldn't suppress his anger even after taking a few deep breaths. Exasperated, he finally uttered, "Take him there."Exiting the car, Byron slammed the door behind him, leaving Markus and the driver alone inside. With a cold tone, Markus commanded, "Drive."The driver, visibly frightened and reluctant to accompany Markus to Serenity Heights, had witnessed the intense brawl between Markus and Victor when he arrived at the scene with Byron

    Markus shouted, "Henry Brand!"Henry responded, "Yes, Mr. Hunt?" "What are you standing there for? Fight them!" Markus growled.Henry, who had just let out a sigh of relief, felt an instant wave of helplessness upon hearing Markus' words. Speechless, Henry grappled with the realization that Markus wasn't merely unafraid of death but also intended for him to sacrifice his life alongside Markus.Despite their actions being supposedly for Markus' happiness, Henry couldn't perceive it as true happiness. In his view, they were simply playing with fire. …Markus was forcefully brought into the Hunt residence in the dark of the night, the clock ticking past 2:00 am. Elijah, dressed in white silk pajamas, displayed impatience, clearly disrupted from his sleep.Expressing his displeasure at Markus' being in his room at such late an hour, Elijah remarked, "Seems like you've found some newfound energy."Reflecting on Markus' seemingly well-behaved demeanor during his years at the Albe

    Byron found Elijah's attitude on the matter infuriating. It was hard for him to believe that, as a father, Elijah was encouraging his son to act like a bandit.Byron had always known that Elijah cared for Markus a lot. He just never expected Elijah to indulge Markus to such an extent.Byron stormed out of the room, and only Markus and Elijah remained inside. Elijah, still angry, grabbed his teacup and angrily threw it at Markus, exclaiming, "You bastard!"Markus didn't dodge. Fortunately, the tea wasn't scalding hot as the teacup landed in his hands. He remained silent.Elijah continued, "Didn't I tell you she would return to your side sooner or later?""I can't wait any longer!" Markus finally spoke. Yet, what he had just said had nearly infuriated Elijah to his death."You can't cause a scene at Serenity Heights even if that were the case. It's Victor's place. You're being unreasonable.""Well, Victor picked a fight at the Hunt residence too, didn't he?" Markus implied tha

    Zane nodded. "Okay, go to sleep, sir. Don't let the younger one bother you."Elijah sighed. "He was so compliant for the past few years. Now, he's stirring up trouble again."He was talking about Markus.Elijah's primary concern was Markus, who exhibited inconsistency. Markus could be incredibly charming when he listened to Elijah, but when his temper flared, he became a source of considerable stress for Elijah.…The entire night was marked by complete chaos. Whenever Elijah was present, Markus stirred up trouble, attempting to leave on two separate occasions. However, Zane intervened, preventing him and forcibly seating him in the living hall.Despite his reluctance, Markus had to acknowledge his fault and face the consequences.…Kathryn wasn't at Serenity Heights the previous night, so she called Tally first thing in the morning.Tally answered promptly. "Kat.""You're up. Wasn't it utter chaos last night? Why didn't you sleep longer?" Kathryn asked.Tally didn't sound

    It was 9:30 am when Chris finally got up from bed. Initially, Kathryn was full of energy, but now her fingers could hardly move. Chris scooped her up, asking, "Do you want to follow me to work?"Despite their long history together, Chris felt an overwhelming love, making the thought of being apart for an entire day unbearable.Kathryn mumbled, "No."She was exhausted. Chris might have engaged her in another round if she were to follow him to the company. She couldn't handle it at the moment.Chris said, "No, you have to go."Kathryn snorted, protesting. "I will help you get dressed." Chris left no room for Kathryn to object as he assisted her in putting on her clothes.Kathryn pouted the entire time, clearly unhappy. Chris playfully pinched her cheek. "Feeling tired?"Kathryn said, "I'm really tired.""Didn't you sleep through the night?""Seriously, how much of my energy did you drain?" Kathryn complained, her frustration evident.Despite Chris claiming to have let h

    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.
