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
In contrast to everyone else's craziness, Kathryn had already arrived at Huber Bay. Lewis' old house had been tidied in advance and was very clean.On the phone, Lewis said with some concern. "Mrs. Welfer lives next door, and her grandson has been staying there, too. You can just call out to them if you need anything. I've already told them about your visit, so they'll take good care of you.""Thank you, Mr. Huber," Kathryn choked.Lewis said, "The fact that you're calling me now proves you still listen to me. Kathryn, the Alberts are not good people. I heard some rumors. It's unlikely that things will work out between you and Chris!"Lewis didn't specify what rumors he had heard. After all, Krista had treated her poorly and almost killed her. He wasn't sure whether Kathryn could accept Krista's identity if she knew this.Judging by the grievances between Chris and Krista, Lewis deduced that it was almost impossible for Kathryn to accept that she was Krista's daughter.When Kathr
Although Lewis hadn't returned to this house for years, he had people come and take care of this place every year. So, the water and electricity were in good condition.Kathryn turned around and entered the house to make her bed. She wanted to call Tally, but she didn't dare to do so. Last time, what happened in Northvale significantly implicated Tally. So, this time, she couldn't let Tally know where she was, no matter what.But since Chris already had a new partner, why did he still want to fight for their child's custody? Was his newly engaged partner infertile?Kathryn's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't make sense of things. Right now, she simply focused on running away, but she still didn't know what was going on.…Meanwhile, compared to Kathryn's confusion, Tally was freaking out. When she heard that Chris had lost Kathryn's trail in Brookside Town, she looked at Victor nervously. "How did she disappear again?"Now, Tally was really panicking, especially since Victor k
