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.

    "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

    Chris had even arranged for two bodyguards and a driver to accompany her. Tally had nothing to worry about."Alright, I'll go to the hospital now." Tally could feel the burning pain from the scratches Wendy had inflicted. Markus immediately took Tally to the hospital.There weren't many people left. Kathryn looked at Wendy coldly and said, "Let's go.""Where are we going?""Do you want to discuss this here?" Kathryn's tone grew colder.Wendy had humiliated Jessica by causing a scene at her workplace today, and Kathryn was seething with anger at the thought of it. She wouldn't agree to a discussion here, even if Wendy wanted one.Kathryn then led them to a nearby restaurant for their conversation. A car was parked not far from them. Krista donned her sunglasses when she saw Kathryn leaving Skyline Group. She instructed her driver, "Let's go."The driver nodded and started driving.Kathryn ordered a few dishes at the restaurant. Wendy, Patrick, and Maxwell devoured the fo

    Five minutes had passed, and Maxwell still had no idea how to broach the subject of the DNA test report with Wendy. He was too taken aback by the revelation. Despite his long-standing dislike for Kathryn, he had always regarded her as his sister. Besides, there was also Jessica, with whom he had lived together. Wendy smacked Maxwell at the back of his head and snapped, "Well, say something! What is this?"Wendy had become curious about the documents upon seeing Maxwell's reaction. She wondered if Kathryn intended to sue her or send her to jail. Her face fell at the thought, as it seemed like something Kathryn might do.Maxwell was jolted back to the present and turned toward Wendy, his body trembling. "Mom, Kathryn isn't your daughter?""What?""Jessica's not your daughter too?"Wendy was rendered speechless, her long face frozen in shock. Her complexion turned pale in an instant.Maxwell could infer the answer from Wendy's reaction. His voice trembled as he asked, "Both Je

    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.
