Chris had only wanted to avoid falling for Krista's trap in the first place, hence why he had decided to find the identity of that woman from that fateful night. He was shocked when he found out it was Kathryn all along.Prior to finding out, all he wanted was to erase Kathryn from his life. But things naturally changed afterward.Chris never pondered marriage due to his parents' relationship. However, Kathryn's existence in his life had changed that, making him realize how meaningful and lovely it was to spend the rest of his life with a woman he loved."Ugh … I'm thirsty," Kathryn moaned softly when Chris went to caress her face.Chris went to get her a glass of water before helping her sit up so she could drink.She then fell back asleep.Chris would be extra busy today, as he had a lot of work to catch up on after having been in Fernland for half a month. So he went to the office before Kathryn woke up again. Before leaving, however, he instructed Frank, "If she's still a
Without Chris around, her appetite barely existed.Nalia noticed this and asked, "Do you still feel tired, madam?""Why?""If you're feeling like it, you could send Mr. Albert his lunch."Kathryn cheered up upon hearing that. "Let's go then!""But you haven't even had your first meal of the day. Let me have the kitchen prepare something while you finish your meal.""Alright!" Kathryn nodded, eating as much as she could in the shortest time possible. As she ate, she dialed Chris' number. But he didn't answer her call even when she had called him for the second time. So Kathryn called Tara, who was with Chris in the hospital. She said to Chris, "Sir, it's madam.""Don't tell her we're at the hospital," Chris ordered. He had just undergone some tests and was currently waiting for their results. He had an IV drip attached. Tara nodded and answered the call. "Yes, madam?""Has Chris had lunch, Tara? I can send some over if he hasn't."Chris' gaze softened upon hearing that. H
Victor ended up sending Tally lunch. As she watched him spread out the meal, she grumbled, "Don't you have better things to do with your time?""Not really. I'm only busy at night."Tally relented. After all, Victor did have a valid point. Tally scowled. "Shouldn't you at least be resting during the day?"In her understanding, Victor could only get some sleep around three or four in the morning in his line of work. In that case, he would get most of his rest in the daytime."How could I fall asleep knowing you're facing so many challenges?"Tally stayed silent, clearly annoyed by his response. "Regardless, those challenges are mine to deal with. They have nothing to do with you!"Victor replied, "You're my fiancée. Your troubles are my troubles."The word "fiancée" made Tally's heart flutter. Before she could respond, Victor added, "I'm truly sorry for what happened, Tally. I did not mean for it to happen at all."Unlike Markus, Victor never shied away from speaking about tha
"Are we really going there?" Henry asked hesitantly. He had a feeling things wouldn't transpire in Markus' favor if he insisted on seeing Tally right now.But under Markus' insistence, Henry could only comply with his instructions.When Markus reached the office, Victor had already left. Tally had regained much of her energy now that she'd eaten.Irina handed her some coffee. "Here, have some more. You won't be able to take another break from here on.""Thank you." It was true. Tally couldn't sacrifice any more time from now on. She couldn't rest until she put Isaac in his place."How much time did he give you?" Tally asked Irina.It was a shame Irina wasn't her assistant. She knew very well it was only a matter of time before Irina had to return to Victor.Irina answered honestly, "A month. Let's work hard together with the time we have."Tally nodded. "Yes, let's."A month would be just enough time to accomplish her goal. They couldn't let this mess go on beyond that timefra
"You had sent all those men along with my father and me to the airport not because you were worried about our safety but because you wanted Victor to think you were taking me away and to make a fool of him in front of my father," Tally snapped.She wasn't an idiot. She knew the whole story now.Markus had never appeared so tense and rigid before her. He closed his eyes slowly, gritting out, "Then you know very well why I did all that. I don't want you and Victor to be together!"In the end, he revealed his deepest wish. He had gone to these lengths just so Victor and Tally's relationship would fray.Tally sneered. "I was blind before, but now I see your true colors!"Though she was new to the world of romance, she wasn't blind. Seeing how hateful Tally's gaze was, Markus had never felt so anxious. He asked hoarsely, "What now?"Markus was truly eager to find out Tally's real feelings about the situation. Would she ultimately opt for him or Victor?"What now?" Tally sneered. "M
"Read these," Emily demanded.Chris frowned. "What are these?""See for yourself!" said Emily with a scowl. Chris didn't touch the documents. Instead, he took out the test results from the hospital and sealed them away in the safe underneath his desk. Emily didn't ask when she saw this. She only wondered why he kept something so trivial in such an important location.However, she quickly forgot about it, turning back to the documents on the desk. "What is her identity?"She was asking about Kathryn, of course. Franco had been troubled ever since learning that Kathryn was pregnant with Chris' child.He couldn't let this continue. All their schemes were on hold precisely because of this."Whose identity?" Chris quipped coldly.Emily swiftly opened the bundle and took out several papers. "Kathryn Michaels!"For the past two weeks, Emily and her father had grappled with disbelief after learning that Krista was handing over Baydem Group to Kathryn, all as a means to seek revenge
Kathryn had no choice but to patiently wait for Chris. However, she didn't expect Chris to be out all night. When she woke up the following day, she looked at the untouched blanket beside her and frowned.She couldn't help but feel upset. She angrily picked up the phone and called Chris, but he didn't answer. "I can't believe he's not answering my calls now!"At this time, Kathryn also remembered that Chris hadn't answered her calls from yesterday. This had never happened before. Therefore, she couldn't help but wonder what happened. After some deliberation, she called Tara.Tara answered the phone, "Hello, Mrs. Albert.""What was Mr. Albert busy with last night?" Kathryn asked, enduring the hint of unhappiness she felt. She was upset that Chris didn't come home or call her to inform her about it.On the other end of the line, Tara hesitated to answer.Kathryn questioned, "Are you not supposed to say anything?""Mrs. Albert, someone will visit you in a while.""Who is it?"
"I couldn't believe it before. So, their marriage is actually contractual. There's no way someone like her could be worthy of someone of Mr. Albert's status."Frank coldly glared at the maids. "Both of you, keep your mouths shut!" This happened too suddenly. Frank still didn't know why this came to be, but he couldn't let anyone discuss it casually.The two maids frowned in disdain and looked at Kathryn, reveling in her misfortune.And amidst their ridicule, Kathryn slowly returned to her senses. However, she couldn't believe Mason's words. She thought she had misheard him. She looked at Mason and asked stiffly, "W-What did you say?" Chris wanted to terminate the contract?Mason didn't repeat what he had just said. He only said, "Don't worry. Since you've been with Mr. Albert for so long, he wouldn't be ungrateful. Sunshine Bay will be yours from now on, and Mr. Albert will also pay you 100 million dollars for the divorce!"Kathryn's heart immediately throbbed in pain at his w
