Tally had the day off today. She'd just scored a huge contract yesterday, so she wanted to take today off like she used to do at Albert Group. After meeting Kathryn, she was shopping happily when she got a phone call from Markus. "Mr. Hunt?"She didn't know Markus was the CEO of Skyline Group until she started working there. She had no idea why he'd been working as Chris' assistant if he was so capable.Then again, the Hunt family was very messy. Who knew what Markus was planning?"Eccles Café. See you in one hour.""Huh?" Tally was annoyed. She was on her day off! She hadn't gone shopping in ages. Who the hell ordered people around like that?But then she remembered Markus had dirt on both her and Kathryn, so she didn't dare protest out loud. "I'll come over right now," she answered, then hung up.After shooting the mall a longing look, Tally sighed and turned around. Once she got to the parking lot, she took off her sunglasses, tossed everything she'd bought into the trunk,
Before she could reply, Markus continued, "Did you talk about something I'm not supposed to know?""N-No." Tally shook her head. He had already found out about the last thing he was supposed to know. What else did they need to hide from him at this point?However, something as big as Kathryn's plans to leave … Tally still couldn't decide whether to tell Markus.Then again, Markus did help them hide the pregnancy, so he'd probably help them, right? She wanted to help Kathryn, but she couldn't. Markus was different, though.If he helped them, Kathryn would have no trouble leaving. So, she asked, "Um, Mr. Albert's trying to take Baydem Group back, right?"Markus nodded. "That's right. It's about time.""It won't be easy, will it?""Not at all." After all, Krista had developed that company for Phineas. Why would she hand it over so easily? In fact, the Albert family was probably in chaos right now for that exact reason.Tally grimaced. "You know Kathryn's pregnant. If Mr. Albert wo
Now, the question was whether Markus could help them. When she remembered how Markus had helped them cover things up so far, Tally had hope.But then Markus said emotionlessly, "Their marriage certificate is the real deal. Even if she left Harborlean, it'd be easy for Chris to find her."Yes, that was what worried them the most. She wouldn't have suggested this if they were able to get a divorce, would she? "Can you help me convince him to divorce her, then?" she asked pitifully. She was really sticking her neck out for Kathryn here.She didn't know what she ever did to deserve this. Every new incident was more stressful than the last."I'm afraid that's not doable. This is the most important time for securing Baydem Group."Tally was speechless. Their hands were tied. Then what were they supposed to do? She thought starting a fight and running away was a good idea, but now that she was talking about it with Markus, she knew it was very sketchy. "So what do we do?" she asked.
After all, no matter how they escaped right now, it was possible they would still be found in the end. And once that happened, it would be much harder to escape again.That was when it would really be impossible to keep anything a secret. So, after coming to that conclusion, Kathryn said, "Alright, I'll wait."She had a blind trust in Tally, so they settled the matter quickly. However, what they didn't know was that Markus had turned around and told Chris everything, just like he did last time.When Chris found out that Kathryn was still thinking about running away, he headed straight for the lounge to teach her a lesson."No, stop! I really can't take it anymore! It hurts!" When Kathryn felt the change in his body, she struggled and whined pitifully.In response, Chris bit her hard. Kathryn couldn't handle a lot of pain to begin with, so her tears started falling. "What is wrong with you? Ouch …""When are you going to finish the scarf? I'm cold."Kathryn was speechless. Did he
Savanna's attitude made Kathryn speechless. Kathryn wondered if Krista was not in enough trouble right now.She didn't want to go, but she got dressed when she thought about how much of a hassle it would be if Savanna showed up at Albert Group.She wanted to inform Chris, but he was in a meeting, and Tara from the assistants' department wasn't there, so she went out on her own.When Savanna saw Kathryn coming over to the café, she smiled warmly for the first time. When had she ever treated the girl with anything but hatred because of Krista?"I didn't think you'd show up alone," Savanna said, touched.Kathryn frowned. "Is there anything you can do to me here?" She knew they were right underneath Albert Group, so if Savanna tried anything, Chris would know instantly.After all, they weren't really alone. If Chris got mad, Krista and even Phineas would be involved. That would be too risky for them, and Kathryn knew it.Bitterness flashed across Savanna's face when she heard Kath
Her emotions didn't really match the situation, did it? "Wait, what are you talking about?""Kathryn, I'm saying this because you got out of a place like Everburns Highlands and have a house in Harborlean. It's not big, but you earned that through hard work."Kathryn did not answer."Even if you don't end up with Chris, you can still live a good life!" The more Savanna talked, the more desperate she got.If she hadn't been so useless and spoiled Krista, why would the woman have seduced Franco at all? When she found out about Kathryn's Harborlean house, she knew that this girl would live a good life even if she left Chris. At the very least, she would have a normal life where she had food on the table and clothes on her back."Some places are so high, it hurts when you fall off," Savanna took a deep breath and added when Kathryn still didn't reply."Then get Krista to hand over Baydem Group as soon as possible and leave!" Kathryn answered."Why, you—""The Albert family hate
Unbeknownst to Kathryn, as she turned around, the sunny demeanor of the man behind her had given way to a cloudy expression, and the warmth in his eyes had been replaced by coldness.Meanwhile, Chris had just left the meeting and entered the lounge. When he didn't see Kathryn, his face fell instantly, and he left the lounge right away.When Tara sensed the anger surrounding him, she hastily approached him and asked, "Is something wrong, Mr. Albert?""Where is she?" Chris asked icily.Tara froze, then glanced out the corner of her eye at the lounge door. "Is Mrs. Albert not inside? I'll check immediately."She was in the meeting room with Chris, so she had no idea Kathryn had gone out. So, she quickly went outside to ask the assistants' department, leaving Chris alone in the office.When Markus came in after Chris called him, he noticed the man was smoking with a stormy face. "Is she gone?""Yes," Chris nodded.Markus was speechless. Seriously? She was gone in just an instant? D
That was why Tara had decided to call her Ms. Boyle after some thought. To be honest, Tara's emotional intelligence was off the charts sometimes."Savanna Boyle?" Chris asked coldly."The very same," Tara answered.When Chris heard Kathryn had gone off to meet Savanna, his anger became even more uncontrollable. "Where is she?""The café downstairs," Tara replied seriously. After keeping tabs on BreezCorizon for so long, she understood Chris' relationship with the Albert family and knew he couldn't stand his stepmother.Chris was radiating cold anger. When he heard that Savanna had asked Kathryn to meet her at the café downstairs, he strode out and went straight for the elevator.Meanwhile, Kathryn was downstairs. She had planned to go up immediately, but Jessica had called when she got to the lobby."Why did you send me that much money? I can't spend it all," Jessica said."Huh? Money? What money?" Kathryn asked blankly. Since when had she sent Jessica any money?Jessica cou
