"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
Chris carefully placed Kathryn in a seat after ending his call with Byron. Chris explained, "I need to go to Fernland immediately, and you are coming with me."Kathryn replied, "Huh? I'm going too?""Of course!"Martha was returning soon. He wasn't sure how long he would be in Fernland. Chris was worried about leaving Kathryn in Harborlean, so he decided to take her along."Okay, I'll go pack.""Don't bother packing. We have to go now."They needed to arrive in Fernland at the same time as Victor. Any delay could lead to a dangerous situation.Victor was a ruthless man, and so was Markus. They would sully Tally's good name if they acted recklessly in Fernland."Oh, okay!"Kathryn didn't waste any time packing when she sensed the urgency in Chris' tone. She was more worried that something might happen to Tally.She quickly went to the lounge, grabbed whatever she could, and left the company with Chris.Chris made calls to make work arrangements on the way to the airport.B
"Where is Mr. Markus?" Tally asked."He's reading in the study room."Tally lost her temper again, the frustration piercing her heart. Things had gone downhill, yet the man was still reading in his study. Did he even realize how big of a mess he had made?Tally stared at the country villa situated in the lavender field. It offered no sense of tranquility, only the anticipation of an impending storm."Read? He still has the mood to read?""Go and see if he is in the mood," Joseph said nonchalantly.Tally did as told.Earlier, her anger had prompted her to stay outside in defiance. She had refused to eat or drink, and now she was ravenous. So, she picked up the fruit juice Joseph had brought and got up to enter the villa.No matter the circumstances, she needed to eat. Skipping a meal would make her hungry, let alone missing several.Joseph chuckled helplessly. Managing Tally's temper was quite the challenge.The enticing aroma of grilled meat wafted through the air as she ap
Tally couldn't contact Randall or anyone back in the country. Plus, she couldn't return home either.Markus' indifference infuriated her. She wished she could tear into him with her teeth."Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!"Tally couldn't shake off the anger, even after venting out loud. She was lost as to how to face Victor now after disappearing right before their engagement. The Glenn family would have been the laughingstock in Harborlean.Would the Glenns let the Johnsons off?These thoughts weighed heavily on Tally's mind, making her heart ache.As evening approached, the scent of barbecue grew stronger."It's time to eat, Ms. Johnson," Joseph called Tally over.Tally's disposition toward him was less than favorable. She was determined to uphold her pride and decline the food, but an unrelenting hunger made it impossible for her to refuse.Joseph was gracious in his approach. "Even if you're considering revenge against Markus, do it on a full stomach. He'd derive more satisf
