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.

    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

    Markus couldn't hide his frustration when he heard Tally say she couldn't handle it."You're telling me you can't handle it?"Tally replied, "That's right, I can't.""Tally Johnson!" Markus snarled. "Don't snarl at me like that. There was never anything between us, and I'm not to blame for how things have turned out," Tally shot back. The room fell silent. Markus' eyes bore into her with a sharpness akin to a hawk's.Back in their days at Albert Group, Tally used to feel a bit intimidated by Markus' intense gaze. But now, she wasn't afraid anymore.Looking into Markus' eyes, she snapped back. "And you've made it clear you didn't want anything to do with me.""I may not want anything to do with you, but today, you owe me an explanation for these two things." Markus' tone was unusually forceful.To him, Tally was willing to do things as extreme as burning down houses and desecrating graves, yet she thought she could just slip away without being held accountable.There was no

    Tally left.With only Irina and Markus left in the office, Markus gave Irina a cold look and remarked, "You're turning out to be quite the loyal dog Victor's keeping around."Irina didn't respond. But inside, a surge of anger ignited."Are you biting at whoever you come across now?" she calmly shot back.To Irina, Markus now appeared to be nothing short of a bull in a china shop. It felt like anyone not on his side was automatically his enemy, and he wouldn't hesitate to confront them.And now, he was calling her a dog. Even if that was the case, she was one who knew how to bite back and wouldn't let him get away with it.Markus said, "She's not going to a meeting, is she?"Aware that Irina was firing back at him, he felt annoyed but chose not to engage further. He was getting fed up with anyone associated with Victor.Listening to his confident tone, Irina couldn't help but sneer. "You know, you're pretty clever. But it seems you're not putting it to good use."Markus was ren

    Irina stood up, looked him straight in the eye, and said, "Mr. Markus, you're actually quite rational, aren't you?"Markus scoffed, "Are you trying to talk your way out of this?""No, I honestly think you're rational," Irina insisted.Offering validation at the right moment could help ease one's agitation.Markus did not reply. He glared at her fiercely, as if he could see right through her.Despite his intimidating gaze, Irina merely returned a faint smile, utterly unperturbed.Getting up, Markus shot her a cold look and remarked, "You're quite the loyal lapdog, aren't you?"Irina seethed in silence. His words stung.Markus didn't say another word. He just turned and walked away.Watching him leave, Irina felt the urge to explode, but she bit her tongue. In any case, ensuring he left without further confrontation was the best course of action.Otherwise, given the way things had escalated with Tally earlier, who knew how long the argument would have dragged on?Tally was in

    When Irina looked at Tally, she said seriously, "You really need to get Mr. Hunt Senior to dislike you even more." Tally caught on as she met Irina's determined gaze.Elijah was really fond of his son Markus, so much so that he was willing to compromise anything for him.Irina kept going, saying, "It'd be great if you could somehow get Mr. Hunt Senior to set up a marriage for Mr. Markus right away. That would really seal the deal and take all your worries off your plate.""Set up a marriage?""Yes," Irina confirmed with a nod.Tally fell silent. Irina noticed her puzzled look and explained further, "Lately, the Hunt family has been caught up in quite a few scandals. They've almost become the talk of the entire Harborlean."If the Hunt family were to announce Mr. Markus' engagement now, considering Mr. Hunt Senior's prideful nature, everything would go smoothly with the engagement."Tally fell silent, mulling over Irina's words."He's prideful?" Tally questioned herself.Tr

    Irina nodded, saying, "Yes!""Could you look into which wealthy young ladies enjoy spending time in those places?""Are you suggesting we find him a rich one?" Irina asked. "At the very least, let's find him someone who's, you know, normal," Tally suggested.Even though there was a lot of bad blood between Tally and Markus, she wasn't the kind of person to do something morally wrong. So, in that situation, her main goal was to completely cut ties with Markus rather than risk her life by getting involved."If I really got Markus into bed with a bar girl, Mr. Hunt Senior would surely kill me."Then, it hit Irina. So, morality wasn't really the issue there. It was more about Tally's own survival. When Tally mentioned it was "unethical", she was just trying to be nice. Deep down, she was fully aware of what was really going on. Irina gave a nod. "Got it."Tally suggested, "You should go find out. It would be even better if they had a bit of a crush on Markus."Irina stayed s

    At about 2:00 pm, Kathryn dropped by to see Tally. Even though they had discussed today's events over the phone, Kathryn still couldn't shake her worries.But Tally just smirked mischievously at her. "Relax, babe, nothing's gonna happen!"Clearly, Kathryn was worried that upsetting the Hunt family might lead to trouble for Tally. Tally, on the other hand, didn't seem bothered by it.Kathryn seemed doubtful. "Are you really sure? I mean, that's Mr. Hunt Senior we're talking about."Tally reassured her, saying, "I know. But isn't this whole thing about making that old man dislike me? Well, looks like I've nailed it!"Just like Victor and Irina had pointed out, if Elijah stopped supporting her relationship with Markus, half of her troubles would vanish.Kathryn, however, seemed a bit unclear. "Does it really matter if he likes you or not?""It does! They took my dad this time, and it's a direct threat to me," Tally shared."A threat?" Kathryn exclaimed in shock.Kathryn was surpr

    Kathryn proposed, "Come on, you two, just get that marriage certificate and smack it right onto Markus' face!"Tally sat in stunned silence.Smack their marriage certificate onto Markus' face?Upon hearing Kathryn's words, Tally couldn't help but be shocked. She looked at Kathryn in disbelief.She couldn't believe Kathryn would suggest something so savage."Yeah, why didn't I realize that earlier? Just getting the marriage certificate with Victor would have done the trick, right?" Tally exclaimed. Tally wondered why she chose to make things so complicated for all this while. But considering Elijah's threat to her, it was still necessary to ensure he disliked her.Kathryn nodded. "Exactly. Once you two have that marriage certificate, it's basically the same as being fully married, right?"Theoretically speaking, Kathryn was right. If Tally and Markus had gone to register their marriage earlier, Elijah might have stuck his nose in. But now, this was indeed the perfect timing.

    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.
