Dinner was ready, but Chris didn't eat with Kathryn. Instead, he went into the study with Markus.

In the study, Chris asked Markus, "You're leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, I need to go back." Markus nodded.

Chris took a drag of the cigarette in his hand. He pondered before saying, "Thank you for all your hard work over the years."

"What is there to thank me for? Krista couldn't get her way with our family before. She is our common nemesis."

A dark glint appeared in Chris' eye at the mention of Krista's name.

Markus had his reasons for hating Krista so much.

Markus' mother almost committed suicide because of Krista. He was lucky to have a stronger character.

Eventually, the Hunt family didn't end up making an irreversible mistake.

Chris' family wasn't as lucky. Franco was a notorious womanizer.

Chris asked, "Don't you think Savanna and the lot are acting a little strange these days?"

Markus remained silent. He collected his thoughts and agreed that something was indeed off about Sav

    What did Savanna say to you today?" Chris thought for a moment and eventually decided to ask.Initially, he had wanted to interrogate her. However, Phineas had interrupted the conversation.A hint of displeasure appeared in her eyes when Chris asked about Savanna."A bunch of ridiculous things.""Hmm? How ridiculous was it?"Savanna had always gotten her way in Harborlean using her daughter's status.She had threatened Kathryn countless times before.Kathryn said, "She asked me to leave you. She said you were a bad person and said she was advising me for my good. What right does she have to know what's good for me? Look at the nonsense she spouted."Savanna had even looked at her with such desolation and sadness.Kathryn couldn't help but think that old-timer had so many tricks up her sleeve!Previously, she had played offense so strongly. Now, she was the complete opposite.Playing hardball hadn't worked, so now she had decided to play softball.To their disappointment, Ka

    Krista looked at the butler and shouted, "Call him again!"Krista was now determined to find Franco's whereabouts.Savanna was stunned by her rage.She gave the butler a look. The butler immediately dismissed himself and the maids.Savanna and Krista were the only ones left in the dining room. Savanna looked at Krista and asked, "Why are you lashing out at them?"It was pointless to lash out at them. Treating the household staff with respect might serve her better.Besides, no one could control Franco's whereabouts. The butler would face a scolding even if Franco picked up the call anyway.At that moment, Krista finally realized that Franco's heart was no longer with her."How could he do this to me? Have I not sacrificed enough for this family?""Cut it with the crap!" Savanna angrily shut her up.Krista was stunned by Savanna's statement.Savanna was right. Whatever Krista had been saying was utter crap. When Krista had married Franco, Savanna had reminded her of what trul

    Franco's word was law. The Albert Group was his property, and he had the authority to transfer it to whomever he pleased. No one could say otherwise, and that was the undeniable truth.Krista felt her breath quicken at Savanna's question. What could she possibly do?"Call Pete."Savanna couldn't believe her ears when she heard Pete's name. She looked at Krista in disbelief. "What are you trying to do?""Kathryn can't stay alive. She got lucky the last time. I can tell Chris is serious about her. I'm pretty sure of it!"They had said they would get a divorce after acquiring the Baydem Group. What a load of crap! He had never planned to divorce Kathryn."No!" Savanna said without hesitating for even a second. She was visibly anxious. Krista noticed how exaggerated Savanna's response was. She couldn't understand why Savanna was siding with Kathryn. However, she was so preoccupied with Franco that she couldn't be bothered with anything else.She sternly dismissed her, "Don't m

    The corners of Kathryn's lips twitched as she nervously rubbed her hands together. "I don't think this is appropriate.""How is it not?""Have you forgotten?" Kathryn was on the verge of tears.Kathryn thought about the agreement they had made previously. Chris and Markus had said they didn't remember a thing. Nothing was documented. They could easily backtrack on their word if they wanted to.Plus, the terms and conditions were unclear. Now, she didn't know how to reject Chris' advances. He hugged and touched her whenever he pleased.A meaningful glint shimmered in Chris' eyes as he noticed the hesitation on her face.How could he not realize the value of such a precious person in his life?He swiftly scooped her into his embrace. He was careful and delicate about it. Yet, Kathryn was startled by the sudden embrace. She quickly covered her stomach. Chris' smile softened significantly as he noticed what she was doing.His gaze fell on the hands that were covering her stomac

    Krista asked, "Huh? What do you mean?" Was he angry at her?She hadn't done anything wrong since she woke up. It didn't make sense for Chris to be angry at her."You snored!" Chris exclaimed.Kathryn had never believed she snored. It was useless trying to convince her otherwise.However, she had noticed how grumpy Chris was every morning. She couldn't help but believe it now.She muttered, "You didn't want me to sleep in a different room."Kathryn said it so softly that the maid didn't hear a word. Yet, Chris heard it loud and clear. He was so furious that he gave Kathryn a death glare.That stare completely silenced Kathryn. She quickly stuffed a meatball into her mouth to calm herself down.Chris was already seething with anger.Then, he received a call from the Albert Manor. The butler spoke respectfully over the phone, "Mr. Albert, Mr. Franco wants you back at the manor.""What for?" Chris didn't bother concealing his anger in his tone.The butler replied, "Mr. Franco

    Chris made a trip to the Albert Manor after breakfast. The matter concerning the Baydem Group was hanging in the balance.He brought Kathryn along. Now, Kathryn was by his side wherever he went.He didn't feel secure after the accident a few days ago. Leaving Kathryn alone in Sunshine Bay didn't make much of a difference either.In the meantime, even before Chris arrived at Albert Manor, Krista was shrieking hysterically. She furiously swept everything off the coffee table and had completely lost control.Everyone held their breath as they looked at her. Krista fixed a fierce glare at Franco. "You've been out all night, and now, as soon as you're back, you're asking me to give the Baydem Group to Chris. Has our relationship deteriorated to this point?"Krista was getting increasingly worked up. It didn't matter who had called Franco last night; he hadn't picked up calls from the butler or her.Krista was very certain that Franco was cheating on her."What do you mean the Bayde

    When Chris arrived with Kathryn, Krista still hadn't stopped crying. The expression on Franco's face was far from welcoming. Upon noticing that Chris had brought Kathryn, his countenance darkened further. "Must you bring that woman everywhere you go?""I think you get to decide how long she stays with me, no?" Chris sneered.Krista had caused quite a disturbance all morning, and now, she struggled to contain her anger. "Chris, don't you think you're taking it too far?"Chris remained silent."Even if you refuse to acknowledge me, Phineas is still your brother. How could you be so heartless toward him?" Krista fiercely said.She never thought a day would come when she loathed Chris' return to the Albert Manor. He had rarely visited over the years, but his recent frequent appearances had inflicted significant harm.Krista seethed at the thought and refused to accept her fate.Chris simply scoffed at Krista's remark, paying no attention to her. Krista was on the verge of losing

    Kathryn could tell how displeased Franco was with her. She knew she had said something wrong, but she couldn't help herself. What she had said was the truth, and she hadn't twisted the story in any way.With a sneer, Chris challenged, "So, why don't you describe the kind of person she is?""Aren't you the reason she has everything?" Franco mocked.He was implying that the woman Chris had fallen for didn't have a penny to her name."You provided everything to Krista, from head to toe. You don't think that's a problem, do you?" Chris retorted."A-Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Franco was on the brink of losing his temper. If the Winchesters had been properly managed, he might have moved on from this issue ages ago. However, he couldn't afford to do so from the looks of things. If Chris renounced his relationship with Kathryn, he could return to enjoying a laid-back lifestyle.He struggled to contain the anger in his heart as he scolded, "You really want the Baydem

    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.
