After all, everyone believed that the Baydem Group matter would be truly over when it was no longer under Krista's control.Kathryn was utterly surprised by what Emily had told her."It's under my name?" Kathryn finally understood what was going on. She looked at Emily with disbelief. She couldn't believe Krista would allow the Baydem Group to be under her name, as she had always wanted to get rid of her. Emily was even infuriated when she saw how puzzled Kathryn looked. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't tell me that you have no idea about it.""I really know nothing about it."Kathryn looked at Emily with confusion. She thought that might be why Emily had been so unfriendly today. It was because something had gone wrong with the Baydem Group.She had no idea how she became the owner of the company. Emily was speechless. She had the urge to kill her. She didn't believe that Kathryn had no idea about it."I swear I really had no idea about it, whether you believe it or
Baydem Group wielded considerable strength and influence, and Emily refused to let it fall into the hands of an outsider like Kathryn.Chris' expression grew even colder as he looked at Emily."Things won't be easy for her after Mom's return. We have to resolve this as soon as possible," Emily said."What do you think we should do, then?""Transfer the ownership to your name, of course," Emily hissed.In any case, Emily was certain that the Baydem Group shouldn't remain in Kathyrn's name. The Alberts still had to concern themselves with the Winchesters. Krista had truly left a mess for Franco. Emily was worried that Martha might be implicated upon her return, which infuriated her to think about. She had to admit that Krista was indeed a despicable person.Chris regarded Emily more profoundly as he observed her frustration. Emily noticed that Chris hadn't said anything. She finally sensed the rage he was exuding. A shiver ran down her spine as she met his intense gaze. "W-Wh
Emily took a deep breath as Chris remained silent. She voiced, "Though it was Krista's idea on the surface, in truth, it was a pact established long ago between the Winchesters and the Alberts. The Winchesters are now determined to honor this commitment, hence ...""So?""The boys of the Winchesters from our generation are still young, which means there isn't any other choice besides you and Susan," Emily explained and sighed. Chris had been calm, but his expression immediately soured when Emily clarified the situation. His tone became even colder than before as he spoke, "The Winchesters? Who cares about the Winchesters?"He couldn't believe that the Alberts had to agree to the Winchesters' request to fulfill the engagement. His face darkened entirely. Emily remained silent."I think you should leave."Chris had completely lost his patience. He had no intention of listening to what Emily wanted to say anymore. He was convinced that there must be something more complicated
Kathryn considered saying something but decided it wasn't worth wasting her breath on someone like Emily. She opted to bite back her tongue and remained silent. Emily grew even more furious when she noticed that Kathryn had ignored her. She snorted and left, choosing not to escalate the situation further after learning that Kathryn was pregnant with Chris' child. Kathryn returned to the company after Emily had left. Chris was engrossed in his documents but frowned when he noticed Kathryn holding her belongings. "You went to the apartment?""Yeah. I'm not staying there now. If I move out, someone else could stay inside the unit I've been occupying."Kathryn had left her belongings in the apartment and hadn't been staying there for some time. She brought her belongings to the lounge since there wasn't much to carry. Suddenly, something fell on the ground with a clatter. Kathryn bent down to pick it up.Chris couldn't help but notice the pendant of the necklace Kathryn was wear
Meanwhile, Tally had gone to choose her wedding dress with Victor yesterday. Their engagement ceremony was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.Victor had also prepared the invitations. He gave Tally some of them. She distributed all of them to her colleagues.Upon receiving the notifications, Chelsea remarked, "Looks like you have to request some time off, huh? I imagine it will be quite an extended affair?""Yeah. For a week, at least."Victor had insisted that everything had to be perfect in front of the Glenns, even though the engagement wasn't real. He couldn't risk his grandfather suspecting anything, so they had to go on a honeymoon despite the engagement being fake.Chelsea congratulated Tally. She also reminded her to ensure her work was in order before taking her leave.Markus saw the invitation on the table in his office. His anger was instantly apparent, with veins bulging on his forehead.Henry, sensing Markus' displeasure, said anxiously, "Mr. Glenn sent it this
Tally exclaimed, "What?"She couldn't believe that Markus had just told her they were not collaborating with Harrison. She struggled to grasp the meaning behind his words.Even though Skyline Group had to select partners for collaboration, choosing the Cooper Group was wise due to its excellent reputation. Tally couldn't find any reason why they shouldn't collaborate with them.Markus glanced at her coldly. "Do I make myself clear?""W-What do you mean? Why aren't we collaborating with them?""We are not going to collaborate with them. Do I have to give you a reason for that?"Markus' firm stance infuriated Tally. She felt that she deserved an explanation, especially since it directly impacted her freedom.Tally desperately wanted Markus to provide her with a reasonable explanation. She believed it was unjust for him to simply inform her that they wouldn't be collaborating with Harrison without a proper explanation.Despite her fierce and biting frustration, Tally managed to
Markus would never approve Tally's request for a leave, but Tally wasn't going to give up either.The sales department at Skyline Group had always operated under Byron's leadership. After leaving Markus' office, Tally promptly drafted a leave application letter and headed to Byron's office. As she walked through the secretarial department, she ran into Jessica.Jessica greeted Tally when she spotted her. "Ms. Johnson."Jessica was familiar with Tally, as Kathryn had often mentioned her. She really appreciated how Tally cared for Kathryn.She had a good impression of her, particularly after Tally had helped during the incident with Wendy outside Skyline Group's building.Puzzled, Tally asked, "You've changed departments?"Jessica had previously been part of the trade department, but Tally noticed she was now wearing the secretarial department's uniform.Jessica nodded. "Yes, I've been transferred to the CEO's office since Doris left."Tally nodded. She had heard that the forme
Tally refused to travel overseas for a business trip, feeling resentful that Markus was exploiting her.At that moment, she found herself at the Ultrasounds Club, a nightclub owned by Victor. Victor had brought her here.Henry was surprised when Tally told him that she had successfully requested leave. "You've asked for leave?""Yeah. It also got approved.""Mr. Byron signed your application?""Yeah, of course!" Tally pouted.Even though she wasn't with Markus at the moment, it wasn't difficult for her to guess his reaction when he knew what she had done.Tally believed he deserved it after everything he had done to her. She couldn't believe Markus even wanted to stop her from getting married. She thought it was very unreasonable of him."I have to hang up now. I have something else to do. Bye." Tally immediately ended the call before Henry could reply.Henry had no idea how to face Markus as he listened to the disconnected tone on the phone. Another boarding call came, urgi
