Randall could deduce that Tally was likely being threatened from just a few sentences.

Victor was surprised that Randall even told her something like that to ease her concerns. Randall didn't seem worried that the Johnsons would really lose the waterfront project at all.

If this were to happen to other families, Victor was certain the parents would have sold their children out for the project.

He thought Tally was very fortunate to have Randall as her father. She was born privileged, but the bounds of a wealthy family didn't restrain her.

"Markus is really a psychopath. How dare he threaten me? It's just a business trip. Did he really have to treat me like this?" Tally was furious as she spoke about Markus.

She used to think that Chris was the epitome of ruthlessness. She hadn't expected that Markus was beyond that.

Tally had a sudden realization that Markus might have picked up this behavior from Chris, considering their years of working together.

She had to acknowledge that

    Henry dialed Tally's number again, sensing the growing coldness that Markus exuded. She only answered the phone after he called her twice. "Hello," she said, her voice filled with drowsiness and sleepiness.Henry gasped upon hearing her voice, fearing that she might be asleep. It would be a significant problem if she had fallen asleep at this critical moment.Henry refrained from raising his tone. "You're not coming to the airport?""Why do I have to go to the airport?""Tally Johnson, don't forget about the waterfront project—""Oh, stop threatening me. I won't join the business trip," Tally immediately interrupted Henry before he could finish his sentence.Randall had told her that it wasn't an important project, so Tally wasn't succumbing to their threats.Henry was surprised at how indifferent Tally sounded. He couldn't believe what she had just said. Her firm stance had given him quite a shock.He knew that Tally only got engaged to Victor because she was worried about C

    Markus arrived at Serenity Heights an hour later.Victor looked at Markus, who was sitting before him. Then, he glanced at his watch to check the time. It was almost 1:00 am. Despite Victor's earlier rejection, Markus had still audaciously shown up at his residence.Markus spoke in an icy manner, "You're really uninterested in what I offered you? About Flourean."Victor reached out for the glass of water before him and took a sip with a disapproving look. "You don't have to look at me like that. It isn't that important to me." "Is it? What about Mandoria, then?" Markus sneered.Victor frowned. He had been negotiating about Mandoria for a long time. There were still several areas in Mandoria he had yet to control. He looked up coldly and cast a glance at Markus. "Do you have any ideas?""Cancel the engagement with her, and I'll help."Victor didn't reply. The atmosphere fell silent instantly. Both men locked eyes in a wordless standoff.Victor chuckled after a long while.

    Markus was aware of Victor's sarcasm in his tone. His face darkened even more."Is there anything else? It's almost 2:00 am now. I'm really tired.""Aren't you a night owl? You are tired?" Markus retorted irritably. "I have to break my bad habits for my fiancée," Victor replied. He was subtly reminding Markus that he needed to work on controlling his behavior now that he had someone he cared about.Markus' face flushed with anger as he absorbed Victor's sarcasm. He left Victor's mansion in a daze, not even realizing how he got into his car or how he had driven away from Serenity Heights.Henry noticed that his face looked increasingly grim. He asked cautiously, "Mr. Glenn didn't agree to it?"Henry knew that Markus had come to Serenity Heights well-prepared. There was no doubt that he had offered substantial incentives to Victor. However, judging from Markus' expression, it seemed that the negotiation had not gone well, no matter how attractive the conditions may have appeared

    Tally was even more certain that Markus was a complete psychopath. She truly felt it necessary to wrap up her affairs at Skyline Group immediately.Markus lit a cigarette and took several fierce drags, exuding an air of hostility. Tally stood there, not daring to inquire further. Markus finally spoke only after ten minutes of tense silence, his tone dripping with menace. "Break off your engagement with Victor immediately, by any means.""Huh?"Tally couldn't understand why Markus was asking her to break off her engagement. It wasn't something that Markus could interfere with. She was puzzled. "W-What do you mean? Break off my engagement? Is this something related to my job?" Tally was utterly dumbfounded. She looked at Markus confusingly.Markus shot her a dangerous look that sent shivers down her spine. She was now convinced that Markus was an irredeemable psychopath."Don't test my patience. Prepare for the consequences if I don't receive news of your canceled marriage by

    Tally was resentful that Markus was threatening her because of her sales performance and was even stopping her from getting engaged. Her engagement was something unrelated to her job, after all. He was overstepping her boundaries.She was furious that he was meddling in her personal affairs.Markus' face darkened as he noticed that Tally had kept quiet. "So? What kind of relationship do we have?""A superior-subordinate relationship," Tally replied bluntly, not mincing her words. Markus' face fell. Her answer had no doubt irritated him. He sneered, "A superior-subordinate relationship? Is that what you really think?""Isn't it?"Markus' reaction only deepened Tally's confusion, reinforcing her resolve to avoid further interactions with him. His erratic behavior was becoming increasingly irksome to her.Markus seethed with anger as Tally stared at him in bewilderment. "Leave."Tally was speechless. But his command to leave his office was all she needed to hear.With many q

    Tally and Kathryn had lunch together that afternoon. Kathryn seemed to look better in terms of spirit. She seemed to be in a better mood as well."Did anything good happen?" Tally asked. She was puzzled.Tally was a straightforward person, and if she had trouble understanding something, it was genuine confusion. However, she possessed a keen sensitivity when it came to noticing changes in Kathryn.Kathryn smiled. She took a small bite of the steak and nodded. "Yeah.""What happened?""He told me that we will never leave each other.""Mr. Albert?" Tally immediately caught the point.Kathryn blushed. She nodded again."That's great. You've asked him about it?""Yeah. He said that we won't separate," Kathryn said."Since Mr. Albert said so, it should be reliable. He isn't someone who would make baseless claims."Tally believed that Chris was a reliable person. Since he had said so himself, Tally was confident that he had no intentions to be separated from Kathryn. Tally was rea

    Tally was certain that Franco would have done everything in his power to take the shares from Kathryn if he had the chance."Krista had signed an agreement with Mr. Albert stating that there should be no transfer of shares for a period of five years during the handover negotiations," Kathryn explained."Five years?" Tally was dumbfounded again.She was certain that this would put Franco in a difficult situation, and she couldn't help but be impressed by Krista's ruthlessness.Kathryn nodded. "Yeah, five years."Krista was really determined to give Franco a hard time. Five years was a very long time indeed. Franco was desperate for Chris and Kathryn's divorce, but it was impossible for them to divorce now.Chris had agreed with Krista's conditions probably because he was truly in love with Kathryn, which was why he didn't care who the owner of the shares was, as long as it wasn't Krista."Gosh. I didn't expect that you're the one benefiting from their fight.""I didn't expect it

    Chris didn't expect Kathryn to be so direct. He was surprised. Yet, he instantly remembered that Kathryn had always been a straightforward person. Chris took Kathryn into his arms and had her sit on his lap. "You don't have to get along with her if you can't."Kathryn, who had been pouting, froze and looked at Chris in disbelief. "I don't have to?"She thought he must be joking, considering that Martha was his mother."Is there any problem?""There is. She'll dislike me even more if I don't get along with her.""You don't need her to like you."Chris wasn't concerned about what worried Kathryn. He didn't see it as a problem. However, Kathryn was hesitant. "I-I don't need her to like me?"Kathryn remembered how Jessica had tried to get along with Karen while sharing a home with Matthew and Karen back then. Jessica was determined not to put Matthew in an awkward position. However, in the end, Karen still didn't like her.Even though Kathryn had never personally experienced

    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.
