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.

    Did Kathryn plan this? Brookside Town was originally Lewis' hometown, and Huber Bay wasn't far from here."Tsk!" Lloyd was impressed by Kathryn's tactic once again. She was extremely clever. He had always heard that Chris had an assistant that wasn't too bright. The people who said that deserved to be slapped in the face. She even made plans for her escape. When Chris couldn't find her in Brookside Town, she would return here and take the management office's advice."Chris actually fell for her trick!" Lloyd said happily.Avery asked, "Are we going to pass this information to Mr. Albert?""No. Knowing that she's safe is good enough." There was no way Lloyd would help Chris out after he punched him like that.Avery couldn't help but frown. "Aren't we going to tell him?""Of course not!""But we were the ones who lost her. If Mr. Albert doesn't find her, he'll settle the score with us.""His wife is the one who doesn't want to be with him anymore. He can't blame us for that!" L

    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.
