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.

    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

    Chris' expression grew colder when Krista appeared with such attitude and timing.His tone couldn't completely hide the sarcasm when Krista spoke. "You seem to care a lot about Kathryn. Why is that?"Krista furrowed her brows when she faced Chris' veiled mockery. Her stare at him turned icier, and her expression grew more somber. The two of them locked eyes in a silent standoff.In an instant, the atmosphere in the office seemed to freeze. It made everyone shiver within the regulated temperature.After a moment, Krista finally spoke up, "You should know this is my final concession."Concession? Giving up Baydem Group to Kathryn and then altogether leaving Harborlean? Yes, that was Krista's first and last concession. She hoped that this concession would secure Kathryn's happiness. But who could have predicted that the truth would come out in such a short time? And Chris didn't show a shred of concern for the pregnant Kathryn—not even for his unborn child.Chris' eyes flashed w

    After leaving the Hunt residence, Tally made her way directly to Victor's company.Worried she might lose her way, Drew had been waiting downstairs in anticipation of her arrival.When Tally saw Victor, her face lit up with joy."You should've seen Mr. Hunt Senior's expression earlier. He looked like he wanted to eat me alive." Tally couldn't help but laugh.Victor reached for her hand as they sat down on the couch together. "Were you scared?" he asked.As Tally sat down, she casually looked back and noticed a framed photograph on Victor's desk.Out of curiosity, she picked it up and examined it. But with just one glance, she froze in surprise."When... when was this taken?" she asked. Her shock was evident as she turned to Victor.The picture was taken back when they were at Beverly Peak, during his hospital stay after being bitten by a wolf.She remembered looking after him until she herself fell asleep.In the picture, her eyes were closed, her expression peaceful.Victor

    What made it even more absurd was that Elijah bought into it, too.Tally couldn't believe Elijah couldn't see through Markus' façade. He actually bought into Markus' excuse that his behavior was all because of her.And now he was acting like he'd rather die than leave her."Fucking hell," Tally muttered inwardly. She wondered who came up with this messed-up plan for Markus.Clearly, Tally couldn't quite grasp how Markus' mental state could deteriorate like this. However, given his history of going insane, this outrageous plan didn't seem entirely implausible.He was perfectly fine when he was with Albert Group, so how did he end up like this back at Skyline Group?Tally just couldn't figure it out.Elijah shot her a sharp look, gritting his teeth as he said, "You, leave!"Zane hesitated, saying, "Sir, but…""Just let her leave!" Elijah insisted.Elijah's words were punctuated by short, hurried breaths.Tally nodded, saying, "Mr. Hunt Senior, you're indeed the more rational o

    Elijah and Zane glanced at each other. Then, their stares turned sharper as they both fixed their eyes on Tally.Tally swallowed nervously. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?""You're not even married to Victor, so why are you calling yourself a married woman?" Elijah snapped, his anger evident.Tally remained silent.Observing Elijah's furious expression, she nonchalantly rummaged through her bag, retrieving the marriage certificate and wedding invitation.Then, she handed them over to Zane.Zane took the documents and swiftly flipped them open. His eyes widened in disbelief as he read through them.He promptly handed both documents over to Elijah.As Elijah took them and examined them, his expression darkened significantly upon seeing Tally and Victor's marriage certificate.He was shocked when he saw that their wedding date was today, along with the printed timestamp.In that instant, Elijah's breathing grew heavier.He glared at Tally with an

    Tally was completely baffled by what was happening."I've been straightforward about my feelings for him," Tally complained under her breath.From her perspective, if something were to happen to Markus now, she shouldn't be blamed solely for her decision to get married. Victor nodded, saying, "Yeah, I know."Victor had always been aware of this. By now, Markus had become such a puzzle that Victor couldn't quite figure him out.Considering how clear Tally had always been about her feelings toward Markus, it was puzzling how he got himself involved in this mess.This time, Victor didn't accompany Tally to the Hunt Residence. He believed she could handle the Hunt family on her own.The atmosphere at the Hunt residence was incredibly tense at the moment.The moment Tally stepped inside, she could practically feel the frost coming off Elijah. His gaze seemed to pierce right through her.Zane's tone was far from pleasant as he said, "Um, take a look at this."With that, he passed

    Tally was pretty happy a moment ago. But now, she was all worked up talking about the Hunts.Earlier on the road, Tally filled Victor in on the phone call she received from the Hunt residence.Victor's lips twitched as he heard the news. "So Markus left a suicide note and vanished?""Exactly. Can you believe the trouble he's stirring up now?" Tally shook her head incredulously.Tally was utterly exasperated with Markus by now. It had been a while since this whole thing started.She had to admit, these days had been incredibly "fulfilling" for her. It was so fulfilling that it almost left her reeling.And it wasn't just Tally struggling to keep up. Even Victor had been taken aback by how things were unfolding.He shot Tally a look of disbelief. "So you're going to the Hunt residence now?""Yeah, I'm going. I want those Hunts to know that I'm officially yours. Let's see if they have more shameless tricks up their sleeves."When it came to describing the Hunts, Tally summed it up

    Tally was beginning to see where Markus got his persistent nature from. It ran in the family. It was as the saying went—like father, like son.No sooner had she ended the call, the phone rang again.Tally took a deep breath, reminding herself that today was supposed to be a happy day, not one filled with annoyance.But dealing with these people…After giving it some thought, she hesitantly answered, "Zane!""Ms. Johnson, you might want to come over to the Hunt residence."Tally asked, "What's going on now?"She was almost out of patience with these people.Zane explained, "Mr. Markus left behind a suicide note."Tally's expression froze in disbelief.A suicide note? Tally couldn't comprehend what was happening. She wondered if Markus was pulling another one of his stunts.It had only been less than an hour since Elijah arranged his marriage, and now he went ahead and left a suicide note."Where is he?" Tally raised an eyebrow.With everything happening so quickly, it all f

    Looking at her identification papers, Tally let out a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Tally had some knowledge of her father's habits. Otherwise, guessing the password for the safe, which belonged to her comatose father, would have been a daunting task.When Irina called, Tally answered, "Hey, Irina.""Guess what? Markus is engaged!""What?" Tally was shocked.Irina shared her surprise."This time, it seems Mr. Hunt Senior might genuinely have it out for you. We haven't even made a move, and suddenly they're announcing Markus and Sarah's engagement.""Sarah?" Tally was even more surprised.It was only today that they found out who had been secretly admiring Markus. Before they could even step in, Elijah had taken the initiative.It seemed like all these years, Elijah appeared unconcerned, but he actually knew everything.But if he was dead set on hating her, then so be it. Tally couldn't care less.On the other hand, if Elijah truly desired for her and Markus to be together all

    Elijah said, "Very well, then."Thinking about his troublesome son, Elijah wondered how he hadn't noticed Markus' extremity in his romantic pursuits before.Elijah was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath.Giving Markus a fierce look, he tried to hold back. Despite that, he couldn't resist putting in one final word, "No matter how much you want to be with Tally, I won't allow it."This time, there was no room for negotiation.At Elijah's words, Markus' eyes turned cold. "I'm afraid you have no say in this.""You..." Elijah's breath hitched as he heard Markus' retort. In a fit of rage, he grabbed a teacup and hurled it toward him.At that moment, Elijah felt an overwhelming urge to lash out at Markus.Elijah insisted, "Regardless of your decision, you and Sarah are officially engaged starting today."His tone was unusually firm.At this point, Elijah wasn't asking for Markus' opinion. He was simply informing him.Regarding Tally becoming Elijah's daughter-in-law, Elijah

    Kathryn was confused when Jessica suddenly shoved her into the car and promptly closed the door. With her hand still gripping the door handle, Kathryn looked up at Jessica and suggested, "Uh, how about dinner tonight?"Upon hearing Kathryn's dinner suggestion, Jessica paused before nodding and responding, "Let's talk about it later. I'll give you a call."Jessica seemed really busy, and Kathryn could tell from the way she talked that she was in a rush.Kathryn couldn't help but feel for Jessica as she watched her close the car door and hurried off toward the nearby office building, waving goodbye as she went.Kathryn found herself wondering who Jessica was in such a rush to meet.Kathryn couldn't resist stealing a glance back as the car pulled away. In that brief moment, Kathryn's heart skipped a beat as she saw Jessica walking alongside Lloyd. They were heading toward the glass doors of the building.Before Kathryn could double-check what she saw, the car had already turned.
