"He's great! Of course he is!" exclaimed Giselle.

No matter how Tally interpreted it, something about how Giselle said it felt off.

After conversing with his brothers, Victor emerged from the room only to overhear Giselle complaining about how he used to bully her when they were children.

The other brothers had always protected her. Only Victor had bullied her. She even cried a few times because he had hit her.

Tally listened intently to her rant. "Was he that mischievous as a kid?"

"Yeah, you have no idea! We thought he didn't know how to care for girls. Tally, you can't let him do whatever he wants.

"If he ever dares to lay a finger on you, make sure you stand up to him and show him who's boss. Otherwise, he'll bully you for the rest of your life," Giselle sneered.

Victor must have subjected her to significant bullying to have left such a lasting trauma in her heart.

Victor's expression darkened. "Little brat, I see you've grown up. You're teaching Tally how to go against

    However, Tally quickly regained her composure. She couldn't help but wonder if Markus actually thought that she had sold herself to him. However, she wasn't willing to submit to his demands at this moment. "It's outside of work hours, Mr. Hunt. I believe you don't have control over that," Tally asserted. "Tally!" Markus seethed through clenched teeth over the phone.Tally continued, "Mr. Hunt, you need to allow your employees to enjoy their weekends, even if you don't. This kind of behavior won't be sustainable in the long term. No one can endure this treatment indefinitely."It was fine for a day or two during the workweek. However, enduring this treatment in the long run was beyond anyone's physical capabilities. When employees confronted tough circumstances that offered little leeway, they tended to tap into their inner resolve and determination.Markus' voice grew more dangerous as he replied, "You better tell me where you are right now.""It's Sunday. I am where I want

    Victor had encountered numerous women who concealed their pursuit of wealth under the guise of love over the years. In fact, their true intentions were written all over their faces. …Tally returned to the Johnson family's residence. She had been coming home more frequently since leaving the Albert Group. As Tally returned, Randall was already home, having gone out earlier in the morning. When he saw Tally, a displeased expression marred his face. "You have the audacity to show your face around here."Tally scratched her head, clearly embarrassed. "I didn't have much of a choice."In the car earlier, Victor had mentioned that she would be trying on wedding dresses that night as their wedding was fast approaching. Randall glanced at Tally's expression and let out a snort. "Did I force you to come back?""No, not at all. It's just that I had no other option," replied Tally. Randall's face gradually turned an even more unpleasant shade. When Tally came in, the butler had al

    Randall clutched his chest as Tally apologized. "So, tell me, what are you crystal clear about?"What was she crystal clear about?Tally found herself unable to respond. It appeared that she had absolute clarity on nothing. She hesitantly asked, "Just to clarify, I can't marry Victor, right? Don't worry. We're only getting engaged in a few days. We're not getting married."Tally's words drove Randall to the brink. He couldn't even find words to respond as he stared at her.Tally caught his gaze and realized she had misspoken. She sighed. "So, I can't even get engaged to him?"If engagement wasn't on the table, what was her next move?Should she inform Victor that they should cancel the engagement?But would that be akin to burning bridges?Reflecting on that night when Victor had called Chris right in front of her, she realized that he had genuinely come to her aid.Tally couldn't help but let out a sigh. One should never owe favors. This favor of hers was just ...Tally

    When Tally called, Kathryn picked up immediately. "Tally?""I'm downstairs.""Okay, I'm coming down, then." Kathryn quickly put down her scarf. Since Tally jumped ship to Skyline Group, they couldn't meet so easily.Now that Tally had taken the initiative to come to her, Kathryn wanted to meet Tally.When she came out of the break room, Chris wasn't there. He was probably in another meeting. She heard that he'd started a branch company overseas recently. That meant there were a ton of things to take care of.When Kathryn exited the office, she saw Elise, who she hadn't seen in a long time. She was sucking up to Tara right now."What's Jessica's relationship to Kathryn?" Elise asked cautiously. No one knew how she found out about Jessica. All Elise herself knew was that Tara was investigating Jessica.Once she realized the two women had the same surname, she started suspecting they were related.Meanwhile, Tara frowned. She barely had time to react before Elise continued, "Wha

    Kathryn was enraged and didn't care about her image anymore. "Me? A bitch? You're the one who tried to seduce the man Mia liked, even though you are her best friend! Who's the real bitch here?" Kathryn was so pissed that she had picked the most hurtful things to say. In the past, Elise hadn't needed to take care of Chris' work, yet she kept butting in to take over.Back then, Kathryn hadn't noticed what she was doing. But after everything that happened, she knew.Elise paled. All her schemes had just been exposed for everyone to see, so she lunged for Kathryn again angrily. "Y-You shrew! I'll rip your tongue out!""Rip my tongue out? I should rip your heart out to see how black it has gotten!"Elise turned speechless."You set your own best friend up! You're not just disgusting. You're also evil!" Kathryn yelled. Wasn't Elise the one who encouraged Mia to cause trouble and act all arrogant?She was only doing all this to get rid of Kathryn. If Chris fired Kathryn and got ma

    The employees had always known that Albert Group belonged to Chris and Chris alone, so he was also the only one who could call the shots.Tara genuinely didn't know what to do with Krista's orders. Of course, she'd have to ask Chris about this. But judging by how Elise almost hurt Kathryn, he'd probably fire her too.Krista turned her gaze upon Kathryn, who was still angry. When she saw how pale the girl's face was, Krista felt like a huge weight was crushing her chest. It hurt."Why are you still here? Pack your things now," Krista said in an ever colder tone when she noticed Elise wasn't moving.Elise was still spacing out then, but she snapped right out when Krista told her to pack her things. It was only then that Elise realized she was probably getting fired for good this time. She was furious, but she didn't dare protest. So, she could only leave.Tara's mood still hadn't improved after Elise left. Nevertheless, she politely asked Krista, "Are you here to see Mr. Albert?"

    Kathryn picked up her tea and took a huge gulp before recounting what happened between her and Elise to Tally. When Tally heard that Krista was the one who stopped Elise, she was shocked. "She helped you stop her? And she even fired her, too?"Tally couldn't bring herself to believe that story. Was Krista defending her? That didn't seem like something that was possible with her and Kathryn. After all, Chris was about to take control of Baydem Group. Krista probably wished someone would beat Kathryn to death, so why was she defending her?Kathryn nodded in reply. "Yeah, she even got Tara to tell HR to fire Elise!" They had no idea how Elise had managed to stay at Albert Group, but now that she'd angered Krista, she was probably getting kicked out for good."What a surprise. She defended you, huh? Do you think she's finally accepted Chris as her stepson? And she's accepting you too?"Kathryn didn't respond. Accept her? Kathryn didn't think that was likely. "Krista hates C

    "Even I have no clue what we are!" Kathryn exclaimed.The corner of Tally's lips twitched. She wondered what Kathryn meant when she said she had no clues on what they were. Did she seriously have no idea? Kathryn's clueless state worried Tally to bits."Then you should ask if the agreement is ongoing or if you're married now! If the agreement is still in place, then he really shouldn't be sleeping with you. "Should I be asking about that?""Why shouldn't you? You're a woman, and you'd agreed on the terms before this. If Chris is making changes, then you need to find out what they mean," Tally said.Tally wondered what Kathryn was doing. Why was she keeping things so unclear? Kathryn felt like she really should ask Chris after hearing Tally's reasoning. Like she said, some things needed to be as clear as possible.She didn't want to talk about this anymore, so she said, "Alright, enough about this. Why do you think Krista defended me today?"Kathryn couldn't believe Krista h

    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.
