"Doesn't this risk causing serious trouble?" Tally raised her head, giving Victor a pitiful look.That was the Hunt family's burial ground, after all. Thinking about it now, Tally couldn't shake off the feeling that Victor might have tricked her into doing something really wrong.Victor observed her timid demeanor and chuckled, "Your dad's in their hands, and you're still thinking about being scared?""Of course, I'm scared."She had gone as far as disturbing someone's grave. If Elijah were to find out, any chance of him liking her would vanish, and there was no way he would let her become part of the Hunts family.And frankly, she wasn't interested in that anyway.They had achieved their goal. Was it possible for her to evade accountability for her actions after committing such an act?Elijah was a ruthless man, too.Could this be taking things too far, provoking them to the point where they would want to resort to violence?Victor ruffled her hair and said, "Relax, even
Markus made call after call, his frustration mounting with each unanswered ring until Tally finally answered the phone. Markus' tone exuded pure hostility, "Where are you?"His words were strained, barely escaping through gritted teeth. Tally could even discern the icy edge in his tone over the phone. Tally asked, "What's up?"Markus snapped, "What's up? Seriously, Tally Johnson? How did I never realize what a mess you are?""And now you do?" Tally's tone grew sharper.She seemed indifferent and was showing no sign of admitting any fault.Markus was too stunned for words. Already feeling aggravated, Markus was now furious at Tally's remark. His mind was practically ablaze with anger."Get my father back to the hospital, or things will get even worse." Following Victor's instructions, Tally's response remained indifferent.However, there was a noticeable edge of danger in her tone.Markus sneered, "After doing something so despicable, do you really expect your father to
Zane wondered if Tally would truly follow through on her words.The question flashed through Zane's mind as he recalled her behavior this morning. Honestly, with a woman as fiery as her, she might just follow through on her words.In a hurry, Zane went to find Elijah. Elijah was lying in bed when Zane walked in. "What's happening now?" Elijah asked.Seeing Zane's serious expression, Elijah felt a pang of worry. It felt like trouble was brewing again.Elijah hadn't had a chance to catch his breath yet after the day's chaos. Zane said, "We'll have to get Mr. Johnson back to the hospital.""What happened?" Elijah asked, his expression darkened again as he heard Zane's words."I just spoke with Ms. Johnson on the phone. She claims to know Harmony Hill very well," Zane explained.Elijah was left speechless, stunned by the revelation.At the mere mention of Harmony Hill, Elijah could feel a lump form in his throat. Tally's message couldn't have been clearer.She was threatening
Just moments ago, Tally was fretting over whether her actions today had crossed a line and would anger the Hunts.If anything were to happen to her father, she would truly regret it. But to her surprise, it actually worked.Victor lifted his glass, took a sip, and spoke with a soft chuckle, "I'm not exactly a mind reader. But I do know exactly what an elder expects in a daughter-in-law."Tally huffed, "So, I'm not good enough to be the Hunts' daughter-in-law?"Even though she didn't care and would never marry Markus, Victor's words felt a bit odd when he put it like that.Victor watched her sulking expression and teased, "Well, when you were berating Mr. Hunt Senior earlier, you definitely didn't meet his standards."Tally remained silent.It appeared that a woman who had the audacity to confront an elder with such vehemence would be too much for any elder to handle.Reflecting on the situation now, she hadn't anticipated getting so enraged."I was completely irrational at tha
When Kathryn heard Tally's name being mentioned, it immediately caught her attention. Glancing up from her book, she couldn't hide her curiosity as her eyes met Chris.She wondered what Markus could have possibly said over the phone. About five minutes later, Chris broke the silence, suggesting, "Given the situation, perhaps it's best to just let it go." Chris saw Markus' relentless pursuit of Tally as excessive and causing significant damage. Consequently, Tally felt compelled to take direct action against the Hunts.When Markus heard Chris suggest letting it go, he exploded in rage. "After what she's done, how can I just forgive her?"Chris fell silent, contemplating Markus' vehement response.At that moment, it seemed like Markus had forgotten why he was after Tally in the first place."Tally's no ordinary woman. She's the Johnson family heiress and now the president of Johnson Group," Chris pointed out.Markus wouldn't get anywhere with his old tactics."I don't fucking
Even though Chris had long noticed Kathryn's bias toward Tally, her current statement still surprised him."So when Tally does it, it's not considered despicable anymore?" he sighed, massaging his temples. Just moments ago, they were both agreeing on how terrible it was to burn down gates and desecrate graves.It dawned on Chris that Kathryn's support for Tally would never waver, no matter what.Kathryn reasoned, "Well, Markus practically forced her into it."Given Markus' relentless pressure tactics, Kathryn couldn't overlook the toll it had inflicted on Tally. She, too, had been pushed to the brink of madness by his coercion in the past. So, even if Tally did something wrong, Kathryn believed it was still Markus' fault.Chris, feeling frustrated with Kathryn's reasoning, decided to drop the argument altogether."Ugh, I need to give Tally a call," Kathryn muttered, turning on her heel. Clearly, she was off to seek confirmation.Kathryn's obvious bias toward Tally made Chris f
Tally said, "Oh, you bet! I'm so mad I could just strangle them!"Talking about it only fueled Tally's anger even more. She couldn't help but wonder what misdeeds she had done in her past life to deserve this kind of trouble in this one.To Tally, the Hunt family was unquestionably a huge nuisance. It was the kind that could drive someone insane.Kathryn wondered aloud, "And yet you're willing to go up against them, even if it might harm your dad?"This left Kathryn scratching her head, unsure of what to make of it.It appeared that her line of thought mirrored the typical initial reaction of most people, including Tally. However, everything took a different turn with Victor's involvement."I used to think the same way. But Kat, you've got to remember. If someone threatens you, you can't just back down. You have to stand your ground, even stronger than them."That was the lesson Tally learned today. She never imagined Victor's viewpoint would be so accurate.Now, not only did t
As Tally thought back on Kathryn, she couldn't help but wonder how things might have turned out if she hadn't been there for Kathryn.Seeing her disbelief, Victor smirked and asked, "Did you really raise Kathryn?""Of course, we've been together since middle school."Back then, it often felt like Tally was the one taking care of Kathryn.Even after they graduated, Tally continued to support her, ensuring she found employment and worrying she might struggle in the real world.To this day, Tally couldn't quite understand why she felt such a strong bond with Kathryn. Constantly worrying about her, ensuring she had enough to eat and was properly dressed, made Tally feel like a second mother to her.…When Tally returned to the company, Irina came over and said, "Mr. Markus is here. He's been waiting for you for a while."Tally's eyes twitched upon hearing Markus was there.Henry stood outside her office door and respectfully greeted her. "Ms. Johnson."Tally remained silent. Sh
