"It's not bad," Chris answered.

"Are you sure?"

Kathryn instantly lit up at Chris' reply. She thought she was about to get her closure.

However, the next moment, all she heard from him was, "It's non-existent."

Kathryn didn't know what to say.

She thought, "Could I be that bad? He could have chosen his words more carefully, at least."

As she contemplated her performance, she realized she couldn't compete with the old-timers and new assistants.

Her hopes were instantly shattered.

She looked at Chris with a mixture of sorrow and anger, unable to utter a word.

Then, Chris asked, "Is there anything else?"

Kathryn shook her head and said solemnly, "Nothing else. I'll get back to work."

She went back to the lounge.

Kathryn stared at the tidy lounge, holding back her tears.

Chris had gone overboard this time. She thought, "How could he say that my work is non-existent? I've been so hardworking!"

As she was lost in thought, her phone vibrated.

Kathryn glanced at her phone and no

Krista made things worse.Savanna became even more infuriated after hearing Krista out.In the end, she texted Kathryn a simple question. "Do you know why Jessica can't find work?"Meanwhile, Kathryn was dozing off on the lounge's balcony when she heard her phone vibrate. She quickly checked it and discovered she had been assigned an interim position.She had no additional tasks. Also, Tara had already familiarized herself with Kathryn's role. Hence, she had nothing else to do.Kathryn felt that Markus was really good at poaching talents. He had efficiently managed everything in such a short time.Kathryn sat up from her reclining chair when she saw Savanna's text. She hurriedly called her.Savanna promptly answered her call, her voice tinged with smugness as she said, "You want to see me now, hmm?""Don't you think it's

    Kathryn felt terrible, realizing she was why Jessica had been unemployed until now.Although Jessica grew up under Wendy's care, she didn't have an easy life because of Maxwell.Kathryn transferred five thousand dollars to Jessica. She believed five thousand dollars would last Jessica a while since she had always been frugal. Chris had a busy afternoon ahead and a lunch appointment.He informed Kathryn before leaving, "Please have the lunch Ms. Adams is bringing over later. I will be back by 1:30 pm.""Ms. Adams is bringing lunch?" Kathryn exclaimed.She never knew that the staff at Rexton Manor needed to do that. Normally, she would either eat at the staff canteen or order takeout.Chris said, "Ms. Adams' food is amazing. The driver will deliver her food from now on."Kathryn heard him and nodded without any further questions. "Okay. I got it."Not long after Chris left, Cara arrived. Chris needed the driver that day, so Cara took a cab there.When she opened the lunchbox,

    Somebody was already suffocating Kathryn in her life, and she had no intention of allowing another person to add to the stress. No matter where the conversation was headed, Kathryn was determined not to let Savanna impose herself on her.Kathryn noticed how speechless Savanna was. She calmly took a sip of her water. "I don't believe you have as much control as you think, Mrs. Boyle.""You imbecile!" Savanna was completely triggered.The Albert family had given her position and power. She never really had anything in the first place. Yet, she couldn't allow herself to be insulted by someone like Kathryn.Savanna was so infuriated that she threw the coffee in her hand at Kathryn.Kathryn couldn't dodge in time, leaving her face drenched in coffee.Despite being soaked in coffee, Kathryn remained unfazed as she casually brushed her hair. She saw how infuriated Savanna was and gave her the widest smile. "I guess I was right.""You …" Savanna was breathing heavily with anger.Ka

    After Kathryn and Chris exited the café, they went straight to the company.Chris exuded a powerful and commanding presence. No one dared to look their way. Hence, no one noticed how disheveled Kathryn was.After they reached the office, Chris instructed, "Take a shower.""Okay!"Kathryn hurriedly made her way to the lounge. Upon reaching the bathroom, she stripped off all her clothes. Then, she realized she had no clean clothes.How careless of her!She didn't even dare to look at herself in the mirror.She paced back and forth in the bathroom for 20 minutes. Eventually, she had no choice but to turn off the tap. She opened the door slightly and peeked her head out to look around.Chris was nowhere in sight, leaving Kathryn even more helpless than she already felt. When Chris came back, he saw Kathryn. She was completely naked, scuttling across the room with her back hunched like a thief toward the bed.Chris found her movement adorable."What are you doing?" Chris suddenl

    With Kathryn in his lap, Chris smiled and asked, "Are you feeling cold?""No. I just thought …"Kathryn found it difficult to complete the second half of the sentence."I don't have any of your clothes here," Chris added."That's why I'm asking for yours!"Only when she took off her clothes did she notice the huge coffee stain on the back. It was particularly unfortunate that she had chosen to wear a white down jacket today, of all days.Savanna had gone too far. Kathryn couldn't react in time at that point. Her inner garments were completely soaked, not to mention her down jacket and everything else.Her pants were beyond salvaging too. Nothing she had initially worn was usable.When Chris picked her up, Kathryn let out a shocked shriek. She was caught in a difficult predicament, her face flushed with embarrassment.Before she could say anything, Chris tucked her under the sheets.Kathryn also covered herself with a blanket.Chris looked at how much she resembled a cocoon a

    Krista pondered what might be troubling Savanna."Did that brat get on your nerves?" Krista asked, her voice tinged with doubt. Her mother had become a mess after her meeting with Kathryn. Krista had every reason to believe that Kathryn was the one who had broken her mother.Savanna took a deep breath. She looked at Krista with her soulless eyes, and tears streamed down her face.Krista was frantic now. She quickly got up from bed and approached Savanna. She gripped Savanna's arm and asked, "What's the matter, Mom?"Savanna was crying so hard that she couldn't utter a single word. She even buried her face in her hands.Krista had never seen her shed a tear before, let alone wail.Excruciating pain coursed through Savanna's body."Talk to me, Mom! What happened?" Krista was growing more anxious at Savanna's silence.Savanna put both her hands down. She looked at Krista with her pair of reddened eyes.Krista was utterly shocked by the hidden sorrow in her eyes. "Tell me what h

    Krista's grip on her mother's hand tightened even more at Savanna's nod. Her voice quivered slightly as she mustered the courage to ask, "Where did you meet her?"No one could truly fathom the chaos in Krista's mind now. She couldn't wait to find out where that child was. Yet, she was fearful of knowing the truth.At this moment, Savanna had reverted to silence once more, her sorrow unchanged as she looked at Krista. "Tell me!" Krista felt as if she was on the verge of losing her mind. Savanna closed her eyes and sighed, "Even if you knew, there's nothing you could do. It's not like you can bring her back to the Albert family."Krista was at a loss for words. Her face had turned completely ashen.It was pointless for her to know.She was no longer the person she was before. Now, she was the lady of the house of the most influential family in Harborlean, the Alberts. That child was the only taint in her life!"Even so, can't I at least know where she is?" Krista asked.Sava

He was in an exceptionally good mood.When Kathryn reached the lounge, she received a call from Jessica.Jessica reassured her not to worry and said she would start working at the Skyline Group tomorrow.Although Kathryn already knew about it, she was still happy for Jessica. "I'm so happy for you!""I will transfer the five thousand dollars back to you. I don't need the money anymore since I have work now," Jessica said."You still have a probation period to serve. Plus, you'll only get your pay after a month. Hold on to the money for now."Jessica insisted, "I still have money with me. You can take it back!"Jessica knew Kathryn had given Maxwell a lot of money over the past two years because of her.Sh

    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.
