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
What was wrong with his sister?Chris was already consumed by anxiety, and his anger flared when he saw someone barging in. To his surprise, it was Emily, crying in tears. A stern expression crossed his face."What are you doing here?""Are you still searching for Kathryn?""That's none of your business." Chris instinctively showed no mercy toward his sister. He was all too familiar with her actions over the years and had advised her on what to do and avoid, but it had driven a wedge between them as siblings.Emily's eyes welled up with even more tears as she observed Chris' attitude toward her. "Do you know what Krista did to me and Mom? Why would you want to still be with her daughter?""Emily!""You can't be with Kathryn. Do you know what that bitch, Krista did? She made Marigold stay in the Albert Manor now."Emily went berserk and let out a piercing scream. Her intense hatred for Krista had extended to Kathryn.Chris had been preoccupied with the search for Kathryn in t
Emily looked at Chris in disbelief. She still wanted to say something, but for a moment, she couldn't find the words.Chris didn't have time to waste on her.Tara had already booked a trip to Brookside Town. She came to report the news. "Mr. Albert, everything is ready. You can set off now.""Where are you going? Are you looking for Kathryn?" Emily asked, finding her voice again.However, Chris gave her a cold glare in response."You can't go there!" Emily refused.Chris hadn't seen his mother until now, but he wanted to see Krista's daughter. It was ridiculous. Emily was upset by this fact. However, Chris found it unnecessary to talk to her at this point, so he walked away.His cold attitude made Emily's heart sink even more.Chris walked out of the office. Emily wanted to follow him, but Tara stopped her. "Ms. Albert, if you keep involving yourself in this, it'll only worsen your relationship with your brother."Emily's heart trembled at Tara's words."Will he really pu
What frightened Avery the most was that Kathryn still ran away under their noses. What on earth was happening?Lloyd smoked the cigarette in his hand. He asked, "Then, didn't your people tell you she ran away from me three hours ago?"She ran away? Krista was speechless. Her heart trembled when she heard his answer. But then, she looked at Lloyd skeptically.Lloyd was very annoyed. Who told him before that a woman who loved to cry didn't have her own opinion?From his perspective, Kathryn was cunning and had all sorts of evil ideas in her head. If she didn't have her own opinions, there wouldn't be a woman with independent thoughts!He was outraged. He was also annoyed that he had to deal with Krista, who came here looking for Kathryn. "You don't have to believe me, but I'm looking for her too!" Lloyd couldn't suppress his anger any longer. He had the urge to break Kathryn's legs to stop her from running away. That damned woman. Didn't she know how much trouble she caused him by
Right now, Lloyd was already going bald from stress. He didn't expect a weak woman like Kathryn to be so unfettered and run away.Not long after, Avery came in again. "I'm done making the arrangements.""Also, you should call Chris right away.""W-What do we tell him?"Was Lloyd trying to provoke Chris by calling him now? It would make things worse. Losing Kathryn wasn't something worth bragging about.When Lloyd heard the suspicion and panic in Avery's tone, he glared at him. He said impatiently, "Didn't you say this is the Alberts' family matter? Shouldn't we tell him that his stepmother is giving his wife trouble?"Avery was relieved to hear his words. He didn't expect his boss to be this rational. After all, Krista had found out that Kathryn was with them before she ran away, so Chris would definitely find this place. So before that, they had to prevent Krista's people from hurting Kathryn. Otherwise, when Chris took revenge, they would be screwed."Yes, of course. You're
Kathryn had run away alone. What if something happened to her? Chris was livid, but he had nothing to take his emotions out on. He quickly called Markus. Markus answered the call, "Chris!""Ask your family's people to keep an eye on anyone in the Albert family.""Do you mean–""Including him!" Chris said harshly.The Alberts had been in chaos in the past few days. There was no guarantee that they wouldn't take their anger out on Kathryn. Now that Kathryn was alone, he had to keep an eye on the Alberts, no matter what anyone said."Okay, I'll get it done!" Markus agreed. At this moment, he could hear the urgency of the matter and hurriedly made arrangements.After Chris hung up the phone, he called Victor.Victor quickly picked up. "Hey, Chris.""Have your people keep an eye on Emily and the old man!"At this moment, keeping an eye on the two of them was Chris' top priority. If Franco made any moves, he would ask Emily to do it. So, he had to pay close attention to both of
Moreover, everyone in the city knew about Kathryn and Chris' dispute. Victor didn't believe that Lloyd wasn't aware of it.Tally was still worried. "The partnership that Lloyd and Mr. Albert discussed may have caused several losses because their negotiations fell apart!""Are you implying that Lloyd might take revenge on Chris for this?" Victor frowned.Tally nodded. "Although Lloyd was notorious for messing with women, he's also a vengeful person." This was why she was worried about Kathryn and Lloyd being in the same room.Victor frowned. His chest tightened at Tally's reminder. He had to admit that Lloyd's methods of revenge were rumored to be very violent.Kathryn was being too courageous, wasn't she? Didn't she know about the rumors concerning Lloyd? Victor couldn't believe she got mixed up with someone like that.Meanwhile, Chris had already met Lloyd in Brookside Town. Without warning, he punched Lloyd in the face.Everyone was stunned at the sight."Fuck!" Lloyd cursed.
