"Did both clients really say they got a call from him?" Chelsea asked.Tally nodded. "That's what they said.""Then why don't you ask what's going on?" Chelsea figured they needed to get to the bottom of this. However, Tally only managed to extract that information after a prolonged battle during both calls. Both clients informed her that Mr. Hunt had called but staunchly refused to divulge further details.They wouldn't even tell her if the call was from Markus Hunt or Byron Hunt. That made things more difficult for them.When Tally heard the suggestion, she was very reluctant to do it. But then she remembered that the situation was unclear, so she nodded. "I'll need to ask him."Either way, they needed to find out what was going on."Then get to Mr. Hunt's office now," Chelsea said after a while of thinking. It was getting late, and since Tally usually took the subway home, she'd be here until 11:00 pm."Alright, then you go home first. I'll wait for Mr. Hunt and ask him abo
Tally realized that she needed to finish the plan by today to ensure the contract could be signed tomorrow.It was already late. It would take her the whole night to complete the plan.Tally's heart trembled. "Um, is it really urgent?""The clients are meeting with another company tomorrow afternoon."Tally had to complete the plan tonight regardless. She couldn't bear the thought of losing the clients. She quickly hurried back to her office.She didn't forget to call Victor to let him know that she probably wouldn't be leaving work tonight. She asked him not to wait for her.Markus stayed at the company past midnight. After some time, he went to the sales department. Upon nearing the entrance, he caught the distinct voices of a man and a woman.Listening closely, he realized that it was Tally and Victor."You should eat something," Victor said."Alright, thanks." Tally was really starving. She hadn't eaten anything since dinner because she had been so busy with the plan. Sh
"Alright. Get to work," Victor said.Tally didn't say anything more. She quickly initiated her work on the project, feeling inundated by the demands of the task at hand.She couldn't help but feel annoyed that Markus had only informed her at 9:00 pm that the contract needed to be signed the next day. He should have let her know sooner.Tally would have questioned whether Markus was seeking revenge if she hadn't been certain that they had no animosity. ...Markus sat in his car in the parking garage, just a short distance from Victor's car.He wasn't sure how many times he had checked his watch, but it was 3:00 am when he finally saw Tally and Victor heading to the car.Markus couldn't help but be genuinely impressed by Victor's commitment, as he had stayed with Tally throughout her extended overtime hours.Victor dropped Tally off at her place before returning to Serenity Heights.Tally looked at Victor with a hint of gratitude in her eyes before she got out of the car. "Than
"They truly are heartless, those men in the Albert family," Krista sneered.Savanna didn't say anything. What Krista said was true.In the places depicted in the photos, it wasn't just Krista who had visited; Savanna had also tagged along on several occasions. Furthermore, they had explored several places together, so Franco had no reason to hide anything.Despair washed over Krista. She struggled to accept the reality that her daughter had married Chris and to add to her distress, she now had to grapple with the fact that Franco was planning to leave her."You need to calm down," Savanna finally said, taking a few deep breaths herself.Everything was in disarray, and Savanna believed that Krista needed to maintain her composure, especially in such a situation. However, at that moment, Krista appeared to have reached a point where she no longer cared about anything.She spoke with resignation, "What else can I do if I don't calm down?"Krista reflected on how Franco had divo
"I think I should leave," Kathryn said abruptly, quickly rising from her seat and heading to the lounge with her yarn.Chris watched Kathryn until she disappeared into the lounge. Then, he turned to Tara and said, "Let her in.""Okay," Tara replied. She left momentarily and returned with Krista.Krista had dressed appropriately for the occasion. Her attire lacked the usual glamour, and her makeup was more subdued. Despite her neat appearance, signs of fatigue were immediately evident at first glance.Chris wasn't surprised by her weariness. Given the ongoing conflict between them, she likely hadn't been getting much rest."Would you like something to drink?" Tara asked. Tara didn't address her as Mrs. Albert, as the only Mrs. Albert in Albert Group was Kathryn, Chris' wife. She refrained from using it as she was only Chris' stepmother.Krista would have been infuriated by such treatment in the past, but today, she remained unperturbed. She merely replied, "Plain water will do
Chris continued to scrutinize Krista, his gaze unwavering. Krista found herself with nothing left to lose, and she still had control over the Baydem Group. She was prepared to gamble it all if the need arose. She understood that showing compassion to the Albert family was not in her best interest. With resolve, Krista rose from her seat under Chris's intense gaze. "Just think it over, but don't let your father find out. He's unhinged."If Franco discovered her plan to transfer the Baydem Group to Kathryn, it could prompt him to take drastic action to prevent it.Krista knew she had to wait until everything was securely transferred to Kathryn. Once that was done, it would be difficult to change the situation.She had just stood up when Kathryn hurried into the office from the lounge, announcing, "I need to go out now."Chris frowned as he watched Kathryn's hurried actions. "Where are you going?"Krista, who had intended to leave, halted in her tracks. She turned her attentio
"Chris inquired, Is everything arranged for Kathryn?"Tara responded, "Yes. The driver is ready for Mrs. Albert. I've also arranged for two bodyguards to accompany her.""Good. Come in for a moment.""Alright."Chris ended the call and lightly kneaded his forehead.There was an unshakable sense that Krista's request, though seemingly rational on the surface, took on an increasingly odd quality the more he pondered it. He found it difficult to ignore.…As Krista exited the Albert Group, she spotted two bodyguards accompanying Kathryn as she got into the car.The wind tousled Kathryn's hair, revealing a birthmark on the back of her neck.Krista's heart skipped a beat. She was her daughter.A profound ache gripped Krista's heart. Only after Kathryn had departed did Krista find the strength to approach her own car, her body trembling with emotion....Kathryn arrived at Skyline Group near the end of the workday.Wendy, Maxwell, and Patrick were causing a scene at the entrance
Wendy was determined not to be on the losing end this time, and Tally couldn't tolerate her behavior any longer. Both of them engaged in a fierce fight, and it wasn't until several people decided to step forward and separate them that they finally stopped.The corner of Wendy's mouth was bleeding. She glared at Tally fiercely. "You bitch! Who are you to meddle in our family affairs?""I'll always step in, no matter the circumstances. People like you just rub me the wrong way," Tally asserted resolutely, refusing to yield to Wendy's behavior.Wendy had been relentlessly harassing and troubling Kathryn for quite some time. Tally's inability to tolerate her behavior was only natural.On top of that, Kathryn was a friend she treasured. She wouldn't allow anyone to mess with her.Even though there were many people around, Wendy showed no fear and immediately engaged in a quarrel with Tally. "I don't care if a bitch like you can tolerate my behavior or not!" Wendy retorted. "Mind
