Chris and Krista had a grudge. But in Victor's opinion, Chris would definitely remain professional. He was generally not an emotional person.According to their understanding of Chris, Chris wouldn't associate Kathryn and Krista with each other. So, why would he file for a divorce? And what was his other reason for doing so?When the two of them were about to say something, Irina knocked on the door and came in. She told Tally, "We have to go for a meeting now!""Oh, all right!" Tally quickly stood up. If it were the past Tally, she would have forsaken everything and searched for Kathryn upon learning that she was gone. But now, she was also swamped with work. Standing up, she asked Victor, "Can you do me a favor?""What is it?""Send your people to find Kathryn as well. But don't let Chris know when you find her!"Victor raised an eyebrow at her request. Obviously, he didn't know what Tally was planning.Tally explained, "Kathryn probably ran away because she was worried th
Victor was speechless. What did he mean by that? Why wouldn't he need the child?Kathryn was carrying something miraculous. Before the child's arrival, the mother was cherished. But once the child was born, the focus of everyone's affection and hopes shifted to the new arrival. And Chris had insisted on taking responsibility for the child while ensuring the child remained with Kathryn."I dare you to say that again after the child is born. No one would ever believe you!" Victor scoffed.He had seen such a situation with his own eyes. Five years ago, his brother Walter asked his pregnant wife to get rid of her child, and his sister-in-law was so pissed that she went abroad. Consequently, when his brother saw his daughter in the past two years, he couldn't bring himself to hurt her. He even rekindled his relationship with his wife.It didn't matter if his daughter was young; he loved her to bits. It was no wonder he changed his mind about her. And so, Walter, who used to be a c
Chris flew into a frenzy after leaving Lewis' house.Countless people were sent to find Kathryn. He even went to the airport himself to track her down. But in the end, Chris and his men came up empty-handed.Tara could sense the heavy pressure emanating from Chris throughout the day, seeing as she had to be with him at all times. It was an unprecedented ordeal for her.Chris' demeanor turned colder in the afternoon. "Have they reported back to you yet?"Tara shook her head nervously. "No, there hasn't been any update so far."She had called the men to inquire, only to find out that there was nothing much to be reported. The day went by in the blink of an eye. No one could even be sure if Kathryn was still in Harborlean.Upon receiving the news, Markus reached out to Chris and said, "I have sent some people to assist you in the search.""Mind your own goddamn business," Chris snapped back impatiently.Markus' people were absolutely unreliable! Chris could still remember the ca
Markus' breathing grew heavy, and his face turned ashen.He had anticipated Tally's anger over the Fernland incident. Yet, he never imagined she would take legal action against him."Tally, you …!" Markus' vision clouded with anger.When Victor arrived, he heard that Tally intended to sue Markus. He was also shocked and found it hard to believe. Tally had revealed a fierce and unpredictable side like a tiger that unexpectedly bared its teeth. "Just talk to my lawyer if there is anything you want to discuss after this," Tally said icily and turned away.Markus instinctively reached out to grab her hand, but she ruthlessly pulled it away. At that moment, Markus felt his world crumbling. Markus and Tally hadn't even started their relationship, yet it had already escalated to a lawsuit. Was there any hope left for their future? As this thought raced through Markus' mind, a hint of defeat surfaced on his face. Tally headed to her office.Markus turned around and found Victor
Isaac was undeniably contemptible. Throughout the years, Randall had never treated him unfairly. Still, as Tally contemplated his insatiable ambition, she felt the temptation to address the issue using the devious method Victor had proposed. Yet, when Tally considered the potential consequences, she quickly shook her head and replied, "No thanks!""Why not? It would be quicker," Victor replied nonchalantly. Tally found herself without words. Victor's apparent indifference unsettled her. She shook her head persistently and declared, "Regardless of the matter, my answer remains a resounding no!"Seeing her determination, Victor no longer insisted. He nodded and said, "Alright, but please tell me if you ever change your mind.""The Johnson Group has always been an ethical company. You better not engage in any dubious activities behind the company's back," Tally expressed her concerns.Even though she couldn't allow Victor to continue taking action on her behalf, considering Vict
So there wouldn't not be any more conflicts in Mr. Glenn Senior's present, right? Tally was genuinely swamped with work. So, she didn't turn Victor down when he offered to lend a hand. She trusted Victor as long as he didn't use something directly from their home to give to Mr. Glenn Senior.…Meanwhile, Markus stormed back into the office. He was visibly furious. Henry had noticed Markus' demeanor and quickly approached him. "Mr. Hunt!""Collect the information on the current internal situation at Johnson Group for me immediately. I need to see it before the end of the workday!" Markus demanded.Henry was speechless. Before the end of the workday? Why was Markus suddenly concerned about Johnson Group? Was he planning to step in and help Tally without her asking? Wasn't he waiting for her to beg him for help?Henry couldn't fathom Markus' approach to romance. He really couldn't understand Markus' mindset. Based on Markus' previous attitude, he would only step in if Tally
The first thing Victor heard was Chris' rude response. He watched as Chris hung up on the caller furiously.Obviously, the conversational topic revolved around Krista. That woman might seem silent, but the truth was that she had an array of tricks up her sleeve.Victor clicked his tongue twice before remarking, "Does Mrs. Albert still think of you as a kid after all these years?"Chris' expression softened slightly upon noticing Victor.He snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and clasped his fingers together. Then, he looked at Victor intently. "Are you sure Kathryn didn't call Tally?"Even though Victor had been clear on the phone, Chris couldn't help but ask that question. He hoped Kathryn had said anything to Tally.He had already interrogated Lewis and Jessica thoroughly beforehand. Neither of them received any calls from Kathryn. If Kathryn hadn't contacted Tally either, that meant nobody could find her anywhere at this moment.Chris was worried that Kathryn might be met
In Victor's opinion, it was always best to clarify everything thoroughly no matter how logically sound something was. He would trust only in evidence.Victor watched as Chris' expression darkened little by little. He continued, "Even if Krista handed the Baydem Group over to Kathryn, that outcome doesn't prove Kathryn is Krista's daughter. I believe we should rely on evidence in any case."The so-called evidence meant a DNA test report. After all, Krista and Kathryn had been separated for so many years. No one had any idea how Krista recognized Kathryn as her daughter based on what grounds.But so many years had passed between Kathryn's abandonment and their reunion. During that period, nobody knew what unexpected events might have occurred. Nobody knew how Chris had come through these past few days as well.Whenever Chris thought of Kathryn as Krista's daughter, it felt like a massive weight was weighing down on his heart constantly. He couldn't even think straight.Victor's
