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
Upon receiving this news, Shania and Minna's legs trembled uncontrollably.Frank had already left, and their discontent was palpable. "It's all your fault. Do you think you're superior just because you've cared for Ms. Davis before?" Minna scolded Shania with fervor. "Well, what about you? Didn't you have a hand in it? Now, you're trying to shift all the blame onto me," Shania shot back. Minna countered, "Didn't you start the whole gossip about Mrs. Albert?""You …""I can't believe I was dumb enough to get dragged into it with you!" Minna shoved Shania aside.Working at Sunshine Bay was the most lucrative position for maids in Harborlean. They received at least twice the average market rate.Plus, they didn't have much to do before the lady of the house arrived. Nowhere else in Harborlean could they find such a relaxed job with such generous compensation. Yet, they had lost their jobs due to their involvement in spreading gossip. Minna was filled with remorse. As she re
At the hospital.Savanna took it upon herself to visit the hospital in person. She promised Wendy an additional 500 thousand dollars, bringing the total to a staggering one million dollars!She hoped the one million dollars could get her to make Kathryn disappear. To ensure the success of her plan, she had come to witness Wendy's execution of it. Wendy was almost floored with excitement at the mention of one million dollars. However, panic quickly set in when she was told to get Kathryn out of Harborlean within the day.The allure of one million dollars was undeniable, but she knew that removing Kathryn wouldn't be a simple task. She had already made countless calls to Kathryn, but she didn't pick up.Eventually, Savanna decided to make the call herself. Kathryn answered, her voice as icy as ever, "Yes, Madam Boyle?""Come to the hospital within the hour, or your mother dies." Savanna's voice held a dangerously menacing tone. It was as if Wendy's life hung by a thread, contin
Even if Kathryn wasn't coming to the hospital, Savanna still needed to know her whereabouts.She had gone to Rexton Manor before heading to the hospital. To her surprise, Kathryn hadn't been back all night. She had tasked someone to look into the matter, but there was no luck.Chris must have hidden her somewhere. If it were true, then it would make their problems bigger."I don't think this concerns you either, Madam Boyle." She sensed something amiss in Savanna's inquiry about her location. It was unusual for Savanna to ask about her whereabouts when she and Chris hadn't returned to Rexton Manor. What was she up to?Did Savanna have something to do with the car accident yesterday?A dark expression crossed Kathryn's face as she contemplated this possibility. Before Savanna could say anything, she asked, "Was the car accident your doing?"If it wasn't Savanna's doing, Krista wasn't ruled out either.Savanna was shocked upon hearing that. "What? What are you talking about?"
