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
If someone helped Kathryn, who could it be? Could it be Krista?When this idea struck Chris, he immediately called his contacts in Rivoria to get some hints about Kathryn.Because of that, he could no longer keep news of Kathryn's disappearance under the wraps.At a mansion in Rivoria, Savanna hastily told Krista to return home after finishing her call with Tara.Krista had an important engagement in other places today. Although Krista had lost the support of the Baydem Group, she wouldn't give up on the Ocean Group. In her short time in Rivoria, she had already started building her network just to make a swift comeback.After receiving Savanna's call, Krista wasted no time and hurried back immediately. "What's going on? How did Chris' secretary end up calling you?""It was just a casual greeting, but you should know there's more to it than meets the eye." After all, Chris' subordinate wouldn't just call to exchange pleasantries.Upon hearing it was a casual greeting, Kr
Savanna started booking the flight tickets to Harborlean while Krista made several consecutive phone calls to arrange the search for Kathryn. Upon learning that Wendy had caused trouble for Kathryn again, Krista arranged for someone to beat that wretched woman up.…Things in Harbolean were in complete chaos due to the search for Kathryn.Jessica had been restless for days, so she kept making mistakes at work. She had called and messaged Kathryn multiple times but never received a response."Ms. Michaels, this form is riddled with errors. Mr. Byron looks extremely pissed right now." Eleanor handed a form to Jessica.Jessica took a glance and instantly felt a headache coming on. She had never made such a rookie mistake in the past.Eleanor remarked while looking at Jessica, "You've been quite off lately."The whole assistants department had noticed that Jessica had been mentally and emotionally drained these past few days. As such, she ended up making a lot of such mistakes.A
These past few days had been like an endless journey through the abyss of life for Jessica. She was filled with despair and helplessness the whole time.Jessica didn't even know how she had managed to endure it until now. At this moment, Jessica was instantly moved. Her tears streamed down her face upon hearing Byron's words."Oh, thank you, Mr. Hunt! Thank you so much!" she gushed happily.Byron responded, "There's another mistake on this form." He pushed the form back to Jessica, who grabbed it immediately."I'm so sorry. I won't make such errors again," Jessica replied. With such an amazing company backing her up, Jessica was willing to do anything for it, even if it meant working tirelessly."Go on," Byron said."Thank you again, Mr. Hunt!"Jessica hastily left the office with the form. She finally felt more at ease thanks to Byron's assistance.…In Harborlean, everyone got increasingly worried about Kathryn. Several days had already passed, after all.Initially, t
As Tally carefully examined the account details for the debit card, a moment of realization washed over her. It turned out this debit card had been deactivated when Kathryn's grandma passed away. At that time, Kathryn didn't have her ID card yet. So, Tally had temporarily used her ID card to register an account for Kathryn.Kathryn had only used it briefly in that emergency. After that, she didn't touch it for years.Why was it being used now? Was Kathryn afraid that Chris could detect her location and find her if she used her own card? In an instant, Tally understood Kathryn's current situation.Tally realized that there were only 157 dollars left in the account. So, she surmised that Kathryn hadn't withdrawn the remaining money after the emergency had passed. Hence, Tally swiftly transferred 50 thousand dollars into the account without a second thought.In the afternoon meeting, Irina distinctly sensed a change in Tally's demeanor. Tally seemed noticeably more relaxed tha
Victor couldn't help but sigh. He was finding it harder and harder to understand Chris' mindset these days. Chris was the one who brought up the divorce in the first place. He was also the one who wanted nothing to do with Kathryn, who was known as Krista's birth daughter. So here came the million dollar question. Why was he so anxious right after Kathryn disappeared?Since Chris had accepted that Kathryn was Krista's daughter, he should have just let her go. It could be wise to completely sever their connection."Is it because of Mr. Johnson?" Victor questioned Irina with a puzzled look.After all, nothing would put Tally in a good mood at this moment. At the mention of Randall, Irina said, "Ms. Johnson hasn't been to the hospital these days. She also didn't receive any calls from the hospital. So, it probably has nothing to do with Mr. Johnson."Victor paused for a moment.What news could make Tally happy if it wasn't an internal matter of the Johnson Group and unrelated t
"Understood," Victor replied.It was genuinely worrying as no DNA test had been done before.After hanging up the phone, Victor looked at Chris. "I just got the news that Krista hasn't done any DNA tests on Kathryn."This showed that Krista must have another basis to consider Kathryn her daughter. However, none of these so-called reasons were as reliable as a DNA test."So, this means you're acting a little too impulsive, yeah?" Victor continued.Chris did not reply to Victor's question.Victor kept speaking the whole time. "What if she isn't Krista's daughter?" It was the first time Victor saw Chris losing control when it came to Krista. But why did Chris detest her so much? Was it just because of Krista's marriage to Franco? It seemed there were more reasons at play.Chris' intense aversion toward Krista was so intense to the point it affected everyone associated with her."Isn't that the truth?" Chris questioned back. "But what if Krista got it wrong the whole time?"
Tally adapted a light-hearted tone when she spoke. Her mood had visibly brightened. However, the reason behind her newfound cheerfulness wasn't related to any internal matters within the Johnson Group or Randall.Victor leaned in closer. The proximity made Tally blush. She had instinctively attempted to move away. But in the next moment, Victor's warm palm gently held the back of Tally's head."What are you doing?" Tally's voice stuttered due to the sudden romantic atmosphere."Do you have any news about Kathryn?" Victor's words made Tally freeze."Stop spouting such nonsensical stuff!" Tally warned."Nothing significant happened in Johnson Group lately, not to mention there isn't any positive news coming from your dad's side. So, why are you in such a good mood?" Victor questioned. "I'm not in a good mood!""It's written all over your face!" Victor ruthlessly pointed out.Tally was speechless. After all these years, she was still wearing her heart on her sleeve despite he
