Kathryn was about to leave the room with Amelia, but Chris immediately pushed her back into the room.

"Go to take a shower. You stink."

Everyone in the room was stunned by his attitude toward Kathryn, especially Mia. She was standing still with her face pale.

Amelia's intention had been to lead Kathryn to another room, creating privacy for Chris and Mia. But with Chris's directive, Kathryn couldn't exit as planned.

Amelia noticed the change in Mia's expression. "Chris."

Chris ignored her. Instead, he glared at Kathryn.

"Alright, alright. I'll go now." Kathryn didn't think she was smelly. It made her curious. She thought that the smell had come from someone else.

Despite her confusion, she didn't dare protest due to Chris's stern demeanor. She hurried into the room.

Mia turned to Chris, her expression reflecting hurt. "Chris."

Amelia stood up for her, asserting, "Chris, stop treating her this way. She's already feeling down."

It took Amelia a lot of effort to comfort Mia afte

    "Chris …" Mia looked at Chris aggrievedly. Tears welled up in her eyes. Kathryn's words seemed to have deeply wounded her. Amelia disliked Kathryn from the start. She believed Kathryn had taken everything away from Mia. When Amelia saw Mia tearing up, her anger raged. Amelia raised her hand, intending to slap Kathryn. "How dare you speak like that? You're just the other woman!"Chris grabbed her arm before she could slap Kathryn. Amelia felt the pain in her arm and spun around to face Chris. "Chris! You—"He released her arm forcefully. "Enough!""Chris, how could you do this? Mia has already apologized to you. How can you keep hurting her?"Chris' expression grew even darker. He ignored her. Chris pulled out his phone and dialed Markus' number. Markus answered the phone almost instantly. "Chris."Markus had always been close with Chris. It was already his off-hours as well."Terminate all our current collaborations with the Miller Group.""What happened?" Markus was sli

    Amelia gritted her teeth as she spoke. Even though she was reluctant, she had no choice but to obey because she didn't want to affect her father's company. However, when she finally stood up, Chris said coldly, "There's no need.""Chris!" Mia's heart leaped into her throat when she heard that. She knew all about Chris' temper. She knew that the consequences were dire since Chris rejected Amelia.Chris said indifferently, "I don't simply grant outsiders the chance to redeem themselves."Amelia and Mia were both shocked. Their exchanged glances conveyed mutual disbelief at Chris's assertion, branding them as outsiders.Mia turned toward Chris slowly. The pain in her eyes grew obvious. "Chris, how could you?"Amelia sank onto the carpet, ashen-faced. She couldn't figure out what Chris meant. Even if she managed to retrieve Kathryn's belongings, Chris might not forgive her either."Chris, this is going too far!" Amelia shouted. She stood up and ran out of the room.Mia looked at C

    Even though Mia was furious, she wanted to maintain her composure in front of Chris. She took a deep breath and asked, "What do you want?"Mia tried to paint Kathryn as the one who was persistent with the issue, making it seem like she was the one responsible for the problem. Kathryn crossed her arms. "It's not about what I want, Ms. Davis. There's nothing wrong, even if I were to ask Amelia Miller for an apology."She couldn't believe Mia was still trying to pin the blame on her. Inwardly, she criticized Chris' taste in women."Why must he fall for a phony person like her?" Kathryn thought. Mia and Amelia were the ones who offended her, but they were acting like she was being unreasonable. Kathryn, however, wasn't someone who would let herself suffer losses easily.Mia had witnessed how provocative Kathryn could be at the hospital. She hadn't expected that Kathryn wouldn't hold herself back in front of Chris.Mia was furious, but she had no choice but to endure it. She nodded

    Chris' face darkened when Kathryn refused to wear his shirt. "Cold? Just go to bed right after you finish bathing."He wasn't going to let her go out alone.Kathryn looked at him pitifully. She truly wanted to sleep in cotton pajamas. They were much more comfortable for her. Yet, Chris had no intention of letting her go out.Mia tried to say something, but her words caught in her throat. Chris glanced at his watch. He looked impatient. Despite this, he stood up and said, "Let's go.""Huh?""I thought you wanted to buy pajamas? If we don't go now, it will be too late." "Are you coming with me?" Kathryn's gaze automatically shifted to Mia. Chris immediately glared at her.Kathryn nodded hurriedly. "Thank you, Mr. Albert. We'll leave now."She was relieved that Chris had allowed her to buy new clothes now. However, she wasn't aware that her interaction with Chris was like a dagger piercing Mia's heart.Mia stood up when she saw both of them leaving. She wanted to stop Chris.

    "What? Chris is personally taking her shopping for clothes?" Amelia became agitated instantly.Amelia wondered how everything had turned out this way. Kathryn must have cast some spell on Chris. He had never liked the shopping mall.Amelia was both enraged and surprised.Hurt welled up in Mia's eyes. She was speechless.Amelia looked at her sympathetically. "Chris must be doing this to upset you. Don't take it to heart."Amelia didn't know how to comfort Mia. She wasn't sure whether she was trying to comfort Mia or herself by saying that.Thinking that Chris did this due to Kathryn's influence seemed far-fetched.Mia responded, "It's fine if he only did it to make me mad."If he could invest the energy to be angry with her, it meant she still mattered to him. She was afraid he was genuinely interested in Kathryn.She had witnessed Chris' impatience with Kathryn. Yet, he agreed to take her shopping.Mia felt Chris wasn't putting on a show for her. On the contrary, Chris must h

    Mia and Amelia were nowhere in sight when they returned to the hotel from the shopping mall. They understood there was no turning back when they saw how Chris treated the Miller Group.Kathryn subconsciously looked at Chris while surveying the silent room."What are you looking at? We've gone shopping already. Don't you want to shower?" Chris said.Chris was speechless toward Kathryn's habit.Despite her origins as a country dweller, which typically implies a more uncomplicated lifestyle, she displayed unexpectedly refined tastes. She even insisted on donning cotton pajamas for bedtime.With the dry-cleaned clothes in hand, Kathryn quickly made her way to the bathroom.Chris had finished showering in the other bathroom by the time she was done.When it was time to sleep, Kathryn naturally headed toward the room where she had napped in the afternoon.Chris' called out from behind her as she began walking. "Where are you going?"Kathryn replied, "To sleep!"She was exhausted fr

    Chris went to answer a few calls. The pasta was ready by the time he was done.Chris didn't stop Kathryn when she tried to return to her room again. However, Kathryn had underestimated the extent of her sleepwalking tendencies. She slept in a separate room from Chris last night. Yet, something happened when she woke up the next morning.Needless to say, she found herself in Chris' bed again. As she glanced up, she was met with a piercing and somber gaze from Chris, causing Kathryn's hair to stand on end.She took a deep breath. "Mr. Albert, would you believe me if I said this was a misunderstanding?""What do you think?" Chris shot back. Kathryn was speechless. How had she wound up in this room?Kathryn knew her way around Rexton Manor. Besides, she had shared a room with Chris there before. As such, it was different from other places. However, under these current circumstances ...Kathryn couldn't remember what happened after she fell asleep last night.Kathryn's anxiet

    Chris exhibited a fair-minded nature. But if someone really upset him, he'd make sure they understood the consequences of what they did.Amelia's heart raced as she said, "But that's how he treats others!"Vincent retorted, "Are you saying that you're different from others? Don't overestimate yourself."Vincent hadn't seen anyone Chris valued. Chris didn't even care about his own father, Franco Albert. Vincent couldn't understand how his daughter believed she was important to Chris.A thought occurred to him. Did his daughter really think that being in the same class as him automatically set her apart as special?A connection held significance only when both parties shared similar sentiments. Yet, if one person didn't reciprocate, it became devoid of worth.Chris might acknowledge his friendship with someone like Amelia if he was in a good mood. But if he felt otherwise, he dismissed her entirely.Amelia was rendered speechless by her father's remark. But hearing her father'

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

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.
