Lloyd ended the call and swiftly turned around. His phone rang again as he took his first few steps. He thought Chris called again. However, with just one glance at the incoming call, he realized it was his secretary on the line. He picked it up. "Avery!""Mr. Robbins, Chris' secretary, Tara Hudson, called me. She asked about your whereabouts that night."Chris' call had been a preliminary test of the waters, and no matter how vehemently he denied it now, Chris would likely never believe him."What did you say?""Tara is not a gullible woman to fool. They must have honed in on you by now."Lloyd was at a loss for words. They knew he was at the airport that night. They also knew he had erased his travel route after. It would have looked less suspicious if he hadn't erased his travel route. But now, explaining it would prove a challenge. It was no surprise that Chris had called him. Their being together was practically confirmed now.Lloyd massaged his throbbing temple, r

Why wasn't Chris willing to let her go?He had said so himself, never to see each other again. Why was he trying to take her baby from her?Or did he think bringing a baby into his new marriage was something to be proud of?Kathryn felt more unsettled the more she thought about it.She looked at Lloyd, eyes filled with tears. "What did you say?""I told him you are not with me, of course. But, you know how he is. He will eventually find this place."Lloyd didn't say that to scare Kathryn.Since Chris suspected Kathryn of being with Lloyd, finding out his whereabouts was a piece of cake.As soon as he learned that Lloyd was in Brookside Town, he would make his way there. The idea of losing her baby once Chris located her sent shivers down Kathryn's spine.In this world, she had no one else to rely on. Chris, on the other hand, had a large family. It puzzled her why he was still determined to take her child away.Her heart ached with torment as she contemplated the situation.

Kathryn, who had always been independent, undoubtedly held reservations and suspicions.Lloyd couldn't help but rub his temple in frustration at the thought of it. "Just consider it a small act of kindness, alright?""No."Her response was notably serious. She had witnessed how a man like him had previously resorted to questionable tactics in business, proving he wasn't exactly a virtuous person.The corner of Lloyd's mouth twitched at Kathryn's sternness. "Why not?""Because you are not a kind man," Kathryn snorted.At this point, the corner of Lloyd's mouth twitched even more noticeably.Unhappy, he argued, "How am I not a kind person?""You didn't employ ethical business practices when dealing with Chris in the past. A good and kind person wouldn't resort to such methods.""Hey, what do you know? You're way over your head."There was nothing proper about business.Women could solve what money couldn't. If women couldn't either, that could only mean that they weren't prett

The efforts to locate Kathryn were intensifying, primarily due to Lloyd being considered the primary lead.Everyone assumed Kathryn and Lloyd were together. But no one knew their exact location.Consequently, those searching for Kathryn shifted their focus to investigating Lloyd's financial activities instead of monitoring Kathryn's bank card.Tally was on the phone with Victor as he made his way to the Albert Group. "Please don't tell Mr. Albert that I've been giving Kathryn money."Tally had a moment of realization that her impulsive decision might have serious consequences.Chris must have been monitoring Kathryn's bank card this whole time. Chris would skin her alive if he knew Kathryn had been using her money, deterring him from finding her.Victor snorted. "You're finally scared now, huh?""Of course! I'm terrified!"She finally knew her father's suffering after taking over the Johnson Group.Thankfully, she had found Victor in time. Otherwise, her father's years of hard

Chris was obviously referring to Lloyd.Chris ended his phone call and turned his attention to Victor. He wore a somber expression that he couldn't shake off, casting a shadow over his features."Why are you looking for Lloyd? What did he do?""He might have taken Kathryn!"Victor was flabbergasted.How could this be?Everyone in Harborlean knew Chris was not one to be trifled with. Did Lloyd need to act this way because of a failed business discussion?"How could this be? Lloyd is the CEO of the established Robbins Group. He doesn't have to stoop this low, does he?"Despite Lloyd's arrogance, he was rumored to be intelligent. He couldn't possibly be oblivious to the consequences of taking Kathryn.A gloomy glint filled Chris' eyes. He scoffed, "Who else could it be if not him? Kathryn hasn't used her bank card once this entire time. "She left so hastily, so there was no way she had so much cash! How was she supposed to survive with Lloyd?"Chris' assumption that Kathryn ha

The entire office fell into a heavy silence after that statement.The tension in the air was so thick that one could hear the sound of their own heartbeat. Even the faintest sound, like a falling pin, would have been audible.Victor was typically resilient in the face of such pressure, but the atmosphere created by Chris was suffocating.That might have been good news. Yet, Chris' face remained darker than charcoal.This silence stretched on for what felt like an eternity. Victor considered how to offer an explanation without dragging Tally into it when Chris struggled to utter, "Tally?"It was Tally again.Tally's help to Kathryn in Northvale was a huge obstruction to them. It caused layers of trouble.Now, Tally was helping Kathryn in her escape?At the moment, Chris had the urge to rip Tally into shreds with his bare hands.Victor noticed how he had gritted his teeth. Chris would probably not let go of the Johnson Group that easily.He quickly explained, "She didn't do i

Brian had been in the headquarters since Kathryn's disappearance. He was at Chris' disposal."Okay," Tara said respectfully and hastily. Then, she hung up.The pressure in the office was palpable after the call."Don't lay a finger on the Johnson Group," Victor warned.Tally had tearfully begged him before he came.Even though he thought what Tally did was stupid, it remained a fact that Tally was a good person. Chris shot him a cold glare."Your wife and son would have starved in the streets if it weren't for Tally," Victor said.She didn't dare to use her card and didn't have a lot of cash on her.Tally had secured Kathryn's life in the streets.Chris scoffed. "I will let her off this time. But, I will drive the Johnson Group to bankruptcy if there is a next time."The corner of Victor's lips twitched. He retorted unhappily, "You're already thinking of ways to scare people when you don't even have her back yet.""I can't possibly blame Tally, right? She could only blame

What would she like to say?Emily was caught off guard by her question.She imagined Krista would still deny it under such interrogation. They would end up arguing.Yet, Emily never expected her to admit it so readily. Emily couldn't contain her frustration as she gazed at Krista's unapologetic smile and exclaimed, "You are shameless!""Shameless? I don't believe you're innocent either, especially when you, as a daughter, facilitated a relationship between your father and another woman."Bringing up the other woman had been a mistake. Emily was visibly trembling with anger now."What did you say to Aunty Marigold?"She recalled how that woman had stayed in the Albert Manor the past few days. No matter what she said, the woman was unwilling to leave.A hint of jealousy flickered in her eyes.Marigold had met Krista before she went to the Albert Manor.So, she was certain Krista had said something to Marigold.Krista could tell from how Emily boiled in rage that the woman di
