Emily clenched her teeth in frustration while glaring at Krista's distant, haughty posture. Hatred gleamed in her eyes. She believed that nobody could surpass Krista when it came to creating problems.Emily's anger was so intense that she ground her teeth together. While Krista might not be able to outwit Chris, she wouldn't allow herself to be outdone when dealing with others.She had only just returned, yet she had already managed to irk Emily.Meanwhile, Wendy and the Gavins, who were at Everburns Highlands, were contending with a sudden and devastating misfortune. Things hadn't been easy for them. They had recently healed from their prior injuries, only to be unexpectedly attacked once more. The assailants were unknown to them.Wendy was lying on the bed. She was continuously wailing in pain.Maxwell and Patrick were injured as well. There were bruises all over their faces.Wendy was aching. She whined, "Who did I offend? We've returned to the countryside. Why did we get be
After careful consideration, Tally thought that getting rid of Issac, whom she believed was a loose cannon, was necessary.Irina nodded as Kathryn said so, but she continued, "You're right, but it won't be easy to take the shares away from someone ambitious like him."Issac was holding such a significant amount of shares that it was possible for him to take over Johnson Group. It was needless to say how precious the shares were to him."There's no chance for us to take it from him through the normal procedures. We have to think of some other way," Tally said.Irina asked, "Have you come up with something?""Both of Issac's sons are married, but it seems that the families of his daughters-in-law are not to be trifled with.""What do you mean?""Splitting the family assets." Tally's lips bloomed into a sly grin.She knew that one of the common reasons that would cause a family to break up was the splitting of family assets. The family's properties had to be divided when family
Markus was furious upon discovering that Victor had consistently met with Tally.Henry was able to feel the tension Markus was emanating. He was worried that he might be diagnosed with heart disease in the near future if he kept working in an atmosphere like this."How is the Johnson Group recently?" Markus asked in a cold voice.Tally had been reluctant to see him for the past few days, but Markus was still paying close attention to what was happening around her. Henry pondered and replied, "Everything's almost settled. The only remaining issue is Isaac Clark. He has been carrying out schemes behind Ms. Johnson's back.""Nothing else?""Nothing else." Henry shook his head.Markus had to acknowledge Irina's competence. The transition of leadership within Johnson Group, which was expected to be a significant issue, had been resolved within a matter of days.Markus' face darkened even more. He lit up a cigarette and remained silent. The ominous glint in his eyes instilled an une
Chris remained silent."So, I guess she knows where your wife is now," Victor said."Did you—""I tried asking about it for you, but Tally insisted that she knew nothing no matter what I asked. What else could I do?" Victor interjected before Chris could finish asking.Tally was determined not to tell Chris where Kathryn was this time.Upon hearing that, Chris grew even more irritated. "Why didn't you remind her that Kathryn's seven months pregnant now?""I told her about it, but she still insisted that she knew nothing." Victor had no idea what else he could do, as no matter what he asked, Tally would only reply that she knew nothing.Chris was seething with irritation, and his annoyance was palpable.He had no intentions to talk with Victor anymore. He stood up, wanting to leave his office.Observing Chris' actions, Victor quickly rose and grabbed him by his arm. "Where are you headed?""I'm going to talk to Tally.""No. You know, I think I'm not so sure about it either. I
"Which stage are you in now?" Victor immediately asked."Stage 4."Stage 4? Victor was stunned that Chris' illness was already that serious. He had never noticed that something was wrong with him before.How could Chris be diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer all of a sudden?Victor's uncle had passed away because of liver cancer. He was lamenting how men could still die because of disease no matter what kind of hardships they had gone through in life.Liver cancer didn't sound like a severe illness under modern medical practices. Yet, each patient was so different that their survival rates actually depended on their body conditions."This is why you proposed a divorce with Kathryn, right?"Victor believed that Chris had only come across the fact that Kathryn was Krista's daughter at this point. Everyone familiar with Chris knew that he was a person who knew how to distinguish between right and wrong.Considering Chris' typical approach to resolving issues, Victor believed that
A misdiagnosis would spell serious trouble for the hospital, especially with Harborlean in its current state. Chris likely wouldn't settle for a mere hospital apology.Chris immediately made an internal call. The call was being picked up instantly. "Mr. Albert.""Ask the hospital to notify the specialists immediately. I want a follow-up now.""What? But the hospital said that you could just visit tomorrow—""Right now!" Chris growled with anger.Tara had no idea what was going on. Her mind went blank as Chris yelled at her. Nonetheless, she promptly replied, "Alright, I'll notify the hospital to arrange the follow-up immediately."Chris was so infuriated that he smashed the phone.Victor's lips involuntarily twitched, and he couldn't help but question the diagnosis further. It seemed quite likely that it was a misdiagnosis, given that Chris hadn't collapsed, even in the midst of his fury.He was certain that the hospital was in big trouble....Tara, Victor, and Chris arriv
Victor's body trembled upon hearing Chris' words. He chased after Chris. Just as Chris was about to get into his car, Victor grabbed his arm."Uh, what are you going to do with the hospital?"Chris paused. He turned back and glanced coldly at Victor. Victor looked upset. "I-I'm sorry …"His apology made Chris recall that the hospital was one of the Glenns' properties. Surprisingly, it was established by Victor, who seemed entirely unrelated to the medical field.Chris' face darkened even more when he remembered that the hospital was under Victor's name. He snapped, "Look at the doctors you've hired. They're a bunch of useless rubbish!"Chris was on the verge of exploding. "I …" Victor had no idea what was happening, but Chris was facing a big problem. Chris had no idea where Kathryn was now.After some contemplation, Victor said, "I owe you an explanation." Victor cursed the doctor who had carried out the medical checkup for Chris.It was an entirely unacceptable mistake
Kathryn had planned to go to Cloudrean when she left Sunshine Bay that day. Yet, she noticed that Chris' men had arrived at the airport before she could board the plane.If it weren't for Lloyd, who happened to be on his way to Leinegon for a business trip, Chris' men would have brought her back that day.Chris had told her that he would never see her again. Kathryn thought that her departure must be what he wanted. She couldn't understand why he was searching for her. Kathryn couldn't help but suspect that Chris was attempting to take her child away from her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her vision blurred as she sniffled at the distressing thought.Lloyd promptly asked her, "Why are you crying again?" Kathryn had been crying a lot for the past few days. She was genuinely aggrieved by how Chris had treated her before she left.Kathryn turned away. She remained silent. She looked extremely resentful.Lloyd sighed. He placed the breakfast he had bought on the table and walk
