The one who had served Mia before looked down on Kathryn even more because she thought Mia was much kinder than she was. Hence, she was confident that Chris would soon tire of such a cruel mistress. After all, she was a country bumpkin! She was so quick to hold a grudge that it was disgusting. When Nalia heard that someone would punish them, she let go of the servant's face and glared at her. "Pack your things. You won't have much time left, after all."Nalia huffed before walking over to Kathryn. "Let me take you to the conservatory, Mrs. Albert.""Okay." Kathryn nodded. Nalia studied Kathryn's expression but was surprised to find there wasn't a single trace of anger. Nalia thought it was to be expected from a woman Chris had handpicked. Her emotional control was superb.When the other servants saw this, they immediately alerted Frank. After he heard that the servants were fighting, he quickly came up.He found both the servants with red hand prints on their faces, and his
Chris took a puff at the cigarette in his hand and sneered. "Krista is desperate now and clutching at straws. What a waste to send Charlie there! He can't be that blind to not notice that the Blake family is wolves in sheep's skin!" he thought to himself.Krista tried to use the Blake family. She wanted to shield herself from the danger brought by the Winchesters. Little did she know she was walking straight into the lion's den.Andrea Blake was a smart woman. Krista might get what she wanted this time, but it would only be a temporary relief. The Blake family would be harder to shake off compared to the Winchesters."Did the Blake family accept the proposal?" Chris snuffed his cigarette in the ashtray as he asked coldly."They didn't, but Krista had increased her bargaining power," Markus said.Chris had expected that to happen.The Blake family was greedy. Chris, who had stayed overseas long enough, knew it better than anyone else.Even though Krista might want to join force
Savanna said, "She didn't manage to see Kathryn yesterday. If she did, everything would have been different!"Krista's expression soured at the mention of yesterday. They were better off letting yesterday slip from their memories. "What are we supposed to do now? Is Kathryn really going to meet that woman?" Krista said unhappily.She never did like Kathryn in the first place, even more so Wendy.She hated Kathryn even more after learning about Wendy."The person who raised such an imbecile is probably an imbecile too," Krista thought.Savanna closed her eyes wearily. "We need to find a way for Kathryn and Wendy to meet."Krista knew Kathryn had a rocky relationship with Wendy. If they were close, Wendy would have stayed at Kathryn's house when she came to Harborlean.It wasn't completely renovated, but the basic furnishings were there. She could have prepared a place for her to stay. Yet, Kathryn didn't even budge when Wendy asked if she could stay at that house.They had the
Savanna saw how uneasy Krista looked, and her own face mirrored the concern. "What's the matter? Don't tell me …""You have to find someone to investigate him, Mom!" Krista nervously interrupted Savanna.Savanna was taken aback. "You …""We need to get to the bottom of this!"Krista's face had turned as pale as a ghost at this point. She had been so caught up in her feud with Chris that she had completely forgotten to keep tabs on Franco.Savanna saw the look on Krista's face and began to feel alarmed herself. "N-No, l-let me get this straight. You really think something is off?"Krista simply looked at her, unable to find her voice at this moment. Savanna felt like she was on the verge of hyperventilating. It felt like jumping from one crisis to another. The matter with Chris and Kathryn was already a pressing issue, and now the possibility of Franco having affairs loomed. Krista had caught Franco's eye because of her looks many years ago. The thought of it worried Savan
However, everything that came out of Franco's mouth was as cold as an iceberg. He said, "I don't care how miserable this is making you feel. We have to stop Chris from marrying that … What's her name again? Kathryn. Okay?"Krista heard how authoritative Franco was, and her tears streamed down even more.Franco massaged his temples, then went to make the call.Krista knew at this moment that all hope was lost.The BreezCorizon project she had safeguarded for so long was about to fall into Chris' hands.Tears of anger streamed down her face as she thought about everything Chris had taken from her."Kathryn! Chris!" Krista shrieked.She lamented how stubborn they were. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of them from her world. They had a hand in every single thing she did.A cold and fierce glint appeared in her eyes as she immersed herself in her thoughts.She immediately called Savanna. Savanna answered not long after, saying, "Hello.""I want Kathryn to va
Nalia was caught off guard and looked at Frank. She wondered if his decision to replace her was because he had investigated her.She couldn't help but wonder if he knew the full story of what had transpired. Frank could tell that Kathryn was displeased by her tone. He respectfully continued, "I'm only executing Mr. Albert's orders. We don't want any troublemakers here!"You've only just arrived here, Mrs. Albert. You may not know our staff that well yet.""Are you saying that Nalia is being fired?""Yes, Mrs. Albert." Frank nodded. A dark cloud loomed over Nalia's face when she heard it. She was unsatisfied and said, "How about Shania and Minna?"Frank became more stern when he saw Nalia's angry outburst. "Are you trying to stir trouble in front of Mrs. Albert?""I'm not. I'm only asking if Minna and Shania are also getting fired.""That is none of your business!" Frank said sternly.Kathryn's frown deepened. "What if I'm the one asking?""I'm not quite sure I understand y
While Nalia had encountered indignation due to work in the past, she had never endured such humiliation until now.Clearly, Frank failed to investigate the matter thoroughly. In response, Nalia stated, "I'm upset, but they hold no significance in my life. They are not deserving of my anger."Kathryn was shocked by Nalia's reply."Wow! You certainly let go of your grievances pretty easily!""Don't hold onto anger for those who held no importance. It serves no purpose," Nalia reminded.What she said rang true. Kathryn would remind herself of this whenever Wendy made her angry."Why should I be upset? She's inconsequential," Kathryn thought."Okay, come and try my fruit tea. Taste my skills.""You made this?""Yes! It's sweetened naturally by the fruits. I didn't add any sugar, so it's a healthy option." Nalia was pouring a cup as she explained. Kathryn felt relieved when she heard there was no added sugar. Her doctor had advised her to limit her sugar intake during her pregn
Chris couldn't dismiss Kathryn's breezy tone, suspecting she was concealing her true feelings.He promptly called Frank, and the latter answered swiftly, "Mr. Albert!""Did something happen?" Chris went straight to the point.When Chris called, Frank was interrogating the two maids involved in the dispute with Nalia. Frank assumed Kathryn must have told Chris everything.So he said, "Shania and Mina had a disagreement with Nalia, the maid who looks after Mrs. Albert."Chris was currently in his office with a cigarette in his hand. A glint of coldness appeared in his eyes upon hearing Frank's words. He sharply said, "Fire the two maids!""We're not entirely sure about the details, Mr. Albert. I don't think it's inappropriate just to fire them," Frank hastily clarified. His apprehension grew. The glint of coldness in Chris settled deeper. "What do you mean by 'inappropriate'? Are they related to you or something?"Frank could sense the threatening undertone in Chris' words. Fran
