"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
Nalia cried the entire time. She said Kathryn was now seven months pregnant, which was the most challenging time in the later stages of pregnancy. She feared something would happen to her when she was alone.Chris tore open Kathryn's letter and read it. In the letter, she thanked him for caring for her and said he didn't have to take responsibility for the child. She would live in peace, alone with her child.When Frank saw Chris' expression turn gloomier, he asked, "Did Mrs. Albert say where she was going?"They didn't dare to open Kathryn's letter before Chris returned. And now, Frank and everyone else wanted to know where Kathryn went and where to look for her. They even arranged for people to wait at the airport and train station. But so far, there wasn't any news from anyone, meaning they hadn't found her.Victor also arrived at Sunshine Bay. When he felt the house's gloomy atmosphere, he stepped forward and asked, "Do you need my help?"When Chris saw Victor, he pinched th
Within two hours, everyone knew Kathryn had run away from home.Tally walked out of her meeting, unable to catch her breath. She was shocked when she heard the news from Victor. "What did you say? That idiot ran away from home? No way. That's impossible!"The day Kathryn would run away was when hell froze over. In Tally's opinion, her friend was a timid person. In those years, she probably wouldn't have been able to graduate from school without her help. There was no way a fool like her would run away from home.Victor remained silent in the face of Tally's astonishment and denial. His gaze was filled with disbelief as he looked at her.Furthermore, Victor's silence made Tally realize he was telling the truth. She held her head, feeling a headache. "Did she really leave?""Of course. Why would I lie to you? I was with Chris last night and heard the news from the call he answered the next morning. Then, we headed back to Sunshine Bay. That place was a mess, and we saw no signs of
