"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
Kathryn was in disbelief. Her mind was in such a mess that she didn't even know when she hung up the phone. She sat on the sofa in a daze until the afternoon, but Chris still didn't give her a call.Kathryn finally believed that things between her and Chris were really over. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and they rolled down her cheeks. Nalia felt distressed at the sight. "Please don't cry, Mrs. Albert. It isn't good for the baby."However, Kathryn couldn't stop her tears from falling. All she could think about was Chris' kindness to her. Those moments didn't seem fake to her. He also told her this wasn't a contractual thing anymore! So, why did he go back on his word?Kathryn sobbed and cried. She didn't even know what had happened.Nalia suggested, "You should ask the driver to take you to the Albert Group and ask Mr. Albert about this in person.""Ms. Hudson said that he wouldn't see me anymore!""You have to see him, even if he doesn't want to. You must find out
"I'm not doing it anymore!" Kathryn yelled. In fact, it wasn't necessary to come here. Chris had always been thoughtful in everything he did, carefully considering every possibility. Since he proposed to end the marriage and refused to see her, she was just asking for trouble if she came to see him.Nalia felt even more distressed when she saw how sad Kathryn was. "Then, let's go home."When Kathryn saw Mia show up at such a critical moment, she didn't have to ask the questions she knew the answer to. After she returned to Sunshine Bay, she signed the divorce papers and gave them to Frank. "Ask Mr. Wesley to come and get it!""Mrs. Albert!" Frank looked at her in distress. It was clear that he couldn't accept the truth either. When he saw Chris loving Kathryn so much, he thought he had finally matured and had a partner for the rest of his life. But now, he wanted to end things. What on earth was he thinking?Kathryn lowered her head, her tears streaming down her cheeks. Howev
Meanwhile, Victor looked at Chris, who kept smoking in his office. Victor asked, "Is she really Krista's daughter? That can't be right."Kathryn and Krista looked nothing alike, and their personalities were also completely different. She couldn't be this timid if she was really Krista's daughter. Everyone in the upper class knew that Chris had a timid secretary; there was no doubt about this.Chris took a puff of his cigarette. He said irritably, "Krista isn't the only reason I divorced Kathryn!""Then, why did you do it? Do you think she doesn't deserve you?" Victor was shocked, looking at Chris in disbelief.Chris had never cared about these things. There was no way he would care about whether a woman deserved him. If that was the case, then …Chris didn't answer his question. He simply closed his eyes, a hint of coldness and danger appearing on his pale face."I really don't get you. You said you don't need a marriage. Although Krista is detestable, her daughter has done not
