Markus glared at Henry. "I'll call him immediately," Henry said hurriedly. He knew that Markus was beyond infuriated, and there was no chance of persuading Tally at this point. However, he questioned the wisdom of publicly turning against the Glenns.After some contemplation, he decided not to call Victor directly. Instead, he headed to Byron's office.Hunt Corporation was currently under the control of both Markus and Byron. They were in charge of their own divisions. Henry thought that Markus' decision to turn against the Glenns would affect the company. After careful consideration, he decided to inform Byron about it before dialing Victor's number.Holding a cigarette between his fingers, Byron paused momentarily when he heard Markus wanted to take over the Opulent Garden project from the Glenns. "What's his reason?"The Hunts had always been on friendly terms with the Glenns. There had been no conflicts between the two families that would necessitate such a hostile stan
Markus' expression darkened further. "You don't need to meddle in this. I know what I'm doing.""Are you sure that you know what you're doing?" Byron asked. Markus remained silent, growing increasingly irritated.Observing his brother's lack of response, Byron continued, "In any case, abandon your pursuit of the Opulent Garden project."At this point, it was strictly a matter between Markus and Victor. However, if Markus decided to wrest the Opulent Garden project from the Glenns, it would escalate into a conflict between the Hunts and the Glenns."Fine," Markus replied."So, how do you intend to resolve this now?" Byron wondered about Markus' next move. He could tell that Markus wasn't going to give up easily, but he couldn't fathom what Markus had in mind, given the complicated nature of his situation."You don't have to care about anything else since I'm no longer pursuing the Opulent Garden project." Markus had no intention of elaborating his plans.In Byron's view, as l
Did Tally break off the engagement? She didn't remember anything like that. Randall was on the verge of losing his mind. He had been informed that Tally had run away from the engagement ceremony. He didn't know what really happened either.He had initially opposed Tally's engagement to Victor. But she had insisted that she was grown up and could handle the situation.He was dumbfounded by what Tally had done. He couldn't believe that she had just run away. He couldn't comprehend her actions and felt frustrated by her perceived recklessness."Calm down, Dad. Listen to me, okay? I'm going to explain—""Explain? How are you going to explain? You've offended the Glenns. Everyone in Harborlean knows it now. Have you lost your mind?" Randall shouted.Tally was having a headache. She couldn't figure out what was going on.Randall was still scolding her. She couldn't even get a word in.After a long while, Randall finally calmed down a bit. He remained serious and demanded fiercely, "
"Y-You psychopath! What's wrong with you? You should find yourself a doctor!" Tally was on the verge of a breakdown. Markus calmly took a drag from his cigarette. "I told you before. I'd help you if you can't handle your relationship with Victor.""Are you? Is that what you call 'handling'? Plus, who are you to handle my relationship with Victor?" Tally snapped. She was so anxious that she felt like she was going crazy. Was this how Markus intended to handle things for her? He had just offended the Glenns on her behalf. How would Tally remain at Harborlean anymore?On the other hand, Markus remained unusually composed in the face of Tally's outburst.Tally was crying uncontrollably. "What have I done? Did I kill your family, like your grandfather or something, to make you treat me this way?""My grandpa's still alive, though," Markus replied calmly.Tally was utterly baffled by his response. That wasn't the point she was trying to make.Even if Markus' grandfather was still
Tally's emotions were in turmoil, and in her state of instability, she momentarily forgot how intimidating Markus could be.Without warning, she rushed toward him, seated herself on his lap, and began to scratch and strike out at him with unbridled fury.Everything had happened so fast that Markus couldn't react in time."Asshole! You bastard! You're crazy. I'm going to rip you apart!" Tally had completely lost control. She rained curses down upon Markus as her hands relentlessly pummeled him.Markus never knew a woman could be that strong.In concern, he hastily extinguished the cigarette in his hand on an ashtray. He feared that Tally might inadvertently get burned in her frenzied state.By this point, his clothing was disheveled, and his hair was in disarray.As Tally was about to slap him hard, Markus grabbed her wrist. "Stop it!""You asshole! Why are you still alive? What did I do to offend you that you would choose to do this to me?"Her reputation was in tatters, and
Byron barked, "Markus!" "I'm leaving the Glenns in your hands," Markus hung up after saying that.Byron, who was in Harborlean, was left completely stunned. His face darkened as he heard the disconnected tone.Henry and Jessica, standing nearby, could sense the rage emanating from him. No one had anticipated that Markus would take Tally away without considering the consequences.Consequently, Harborlean had descended into chaos! "Find out where he is. Now!" Byron said, infuriated. It felt like he might tear Markus apart in a rage."Got it." Jessica nodded and quickly left the office. Henry, trembling in fear as he stood nearby, wished to leave as well after seeing Jessica's departure. However, he didn't dare move an inch without his boss' orders.…Kathryn, on the other hand, was aware of the situation. Tally had asked her to be her bridesmaid, but upon arriving at the hotel, all she found was chaos.She anxiously tried calling Tally, but the calls didn't go through, no ma
Under Kathryn's persistent plea, Chris had no choice but to call Victor.At this moment, Victor was in the communications department of his company. The experts from every department were all present. Victor received Chris' call. The usual smile was no longer hanging on Victor's face. "Dude, you don't need to speak for Markus. Let me find that bastard. I will personally make sure he has his legs removed!"He couldn't believe that Markus had taken an interest in his fiancée. Did Markus truly believe Victor would let the Hunt family off the hook? He took his fiancée away before their engagement. Was Markus stupid or completely out of his mind?Victor's fury intensified with every thought. The whole communications department was running an extensive search to locate Markus' position. "I don't plan to speak for him," Chris said. "Then, what do you want?" Victor's tone was equally tense. From where he stood, Chris and Markus were best friends. Markus had also helped him ove
There was an intimidating air of gangster about him."If you're here for your brother, Mr. Byron, you can save your breath," Victor said rudely.Byron didn't say a word. He merely reached for the teacup.Before he took a sip, Victor warned, "Be careful not to burn yourself. The tea was made with boiling water."Bryon's hand, holding the insulated cup, froze. Then, he casually set the cup back down.Jessica stood behind Byron, her demeanor displaying a sense of rigid determination. She had never expected a problematic scion of a wealthy family to be interested in Tally."I presume you're searching for him everywhere?" Byron asked."Then, what else do you suggest?" Victor mockingly retorted.What a bastard!Byron nonchalantly lit a cigarette. "What do you plan to do with him, Mr. Glenn?""I'm still thinking about it. Why don't you give me a good idea, Mr. Byron?"Byron lifted his gaze with a frigid intensity, meeting Victor's equally glacial stare."Let me remind you, Mr. Byr
