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

    After a long while, Tally returned to her senses and yelled, "Markus is such a bastard!"What was this bastard up to? Why did he buy Issac's shares? Did he want to take over the Johnson Group?In the past few days, Tally had been in a constant state of worry. She feared that Chris would be angry with her because of Kathryn. She didn't expect Markus, who had been missing for a few days, to play this move against her.Victor had a long face as he glanced at Irina.Irina lowered her head in shock and said anxiously, "I didn't hear any news about this, and I haven't heard any news about Isaac and Mr. Markus meeting either."She just knew that under their control, Isaac's mothers-in-law had been making trouble in the Clark family for quite some time. Once Isaac could no longer take it, he would divide his shares. If his wives got some shares, things would be easier for the mothers-in-law.But no one expected that old fox Isaac to sell his shares to Markus instead. Selling shares to a

    Finally, Tally nodded. "He'll definitely pull some other tricks this week."They still hadn't gotten some people who supported Isaac in their pockets. If those people's stocks fell into Markus' hands, the consequences would be even more disastrous.Tally was originally worried about Kathryn. But now, with Markus pulling such a big move on her, she was overwhelmed....Meanwhile, Jessica wasn't doing so great either. She had been waiting for Kathryn to call her, but she still hadn't heard from her.Kelly had moved to a new school, but she didn't expect their neighbors' children to be in this school, too. She had only been in this school for a few days, but the news about the incident between Jessica and Matthew spread among Kelly's classmates once again.As a result, Kelly's attitude had undergone massive changes. She would lock herself in her room every day when she got home from school."Hey, Ms. Jessica?""Huh? Oh, hello, Mr. Bryon." Jessica returned to her senses and ran to

    "Kelly, what would you like to eat? Mommy will cook it right away," Jessica said while suppressing the pain in her chest.But Kelly replied coldly, "Whatever."In the past, whenever Kelly heard Jessica was cooking, she would always tell Jessica what she liked to eat. But now ...Jessica forced down the pain in her chest and continued, "Do you prefer pasta or burgers?""I said, whatever!" Kelly's tone grew heavier. Despite her young age, she had an intimidating presence.Her demeanor was always gentle when she lived at the Quinton residence. What changed? Life's transformations were so earth-shattering that even Jessica found them hard to accept. It was even more challenging for such a young child like Kelly.Jessica was unable to suppress her inner anguish. She trembled as she crouched before Kelly. "Kelly, did something happen at school?""Nothing!" Kelly replied.How could that be true? Jessica had heard the rumors. Yet, her heart ached even more as she heard Kelly say

    Jessica feared Matthew's return would cause even more pain for Kelly. "Let's wait until Kathryn returns to discuss this further," Chris sensed her reluctance and didn't push the matter further."Alright," Jessica replied briefly before hanging up the phone. Then, she quickly prepared some pasta for Kelly. As she returned home quite late from Skyline Group, she could only prepare a quick meal for Kelly and herself.At the dinner table, silence hung heavy between them. Unlike before, Kelly no longer chattered endlessly during meals. Instead, she quietly ate her pasta. This silence made Jessica hesitate several times as she didn't know where to start.The word "father" had clearly become a forbidden topic between them."Kelly.""Yeah?""If something happens at school, you must tell Mommy. Mommy will handle it," Jessica said.These words finally made Kelly look up at Jessica. "Can I stop going to school?"Jessica felt a pang in her chest. Stop going to school?"But you ..."

    Was Bryon planning to remain unmarried and never find another woman to be his wife? Those playboys couldn't comprehend the determination behind Bryon's thoughts.In Huber Bay, just as Kathryn had finished tidying up the house once more, there was another knock at the door to the yard. It had to be Chloe from next door, right? She couldn't have refused to open the door, so she had given up on cooking for now.Kathryn opened the yard's door. A tall and imposing figure greeted her, and due to her height, she could only see Benjamin's chest. A smile played on his lips, and when their eyes met, she was met with the warmth in his gaze. But when she fully saw his face ...Kathryn took a deep breath. She had assumed that Chloe's grandson was just a local young man. But now ..."You're here?" Benjamin spoke with apparent astonishment. This astonishment and shock were evidently due to recognizing Kathryn.Kathryn instinctively swallowed and recognized the man before her. "Hello, Mr. W

    Since Lewis had extended the invitation, Chloe had prepared a few special dishes."Kathryn, this fish was caught by Benjamin. It's wild and incredibly nutritious. It's best for you to consume it," she said."Thank you, Mrs. Welfer." Kathryn's taste buds were tingling.After she heard that the fish was caught by Benjamin, she instinctively glanced at him.It was surprising that the heir to the Winchester family, usually burdened with responsibilities, had the time to fish here.At this moment, Benjamin seemed less formal than he did in Harborlean. He was clad in a baseball jersey and appeared relaxed yet crisp."And this cucumber, I grew it myself. It might not look very appealing since I didn't use any pesticides, but you can eat it without worry," Chloe added."Okay, thank you Mrs. Welfer," Kathryn responded promptly, no matter what Chloe said.Benjamin glanced at her with deep, penetrating eyes. That gaze made her extremely uncomfortable.However, Chloe looked at Kathryn in

    Kathryn looked at the stern-faced Benjamin with grievance. His expression had lost all its warmth.Benjamin snorted after he observed her sniffle, "Aren't you going to bed? Do you want me to tuck you in?"Kathryn stayed silent, and tears welled up in her eyes. She dared not speak, so she turned and walked toward the courtyard.Thankfully, Benjamin didn't follow her. This had eased Kathryn's anxiety a bit. Once she entered the house, she locked the door and moved the furniture to block it.Benjamin's mouth twitched involuntarily after he heard the furniture being dragged across the floor. Did he look terrifying? Was it necessary to defend herself against him like this?He lingered at the courtyard gate until there was no further activity inside, and the lights were turned off again. Only then did he turn away and leave.But Benjamin didn't head straight back. Instead, he lit a cigarette in a corner near the wall.His phone vibrated. He took it out and saw the name "Susan" flash

    Benjamin nodded, "Yeah, the water and electricity of Kathryn's house have been checked."Chloe also nodded. "That's the way to go!"Benjamin furrowed his brow. Then, he gave Chloe a scrutinizing look.She looked at him. "What's the matter?""Why are you so good to Kathryn?" In Benjamin's point of view, Chloe was kind to everyone except Susan.Upon hearing his question, Chloe sighed, "What can I say? I feel sorry for Kathryn. She is pregnant and living in Lewis' old house. Something must have happened to her.""Don't you know that Kathryn is not Lewis' granddaughter?""Of course not. I know all of Lewis' grandchildren. She's not his granddaughter!"Chloe's assumption that Kathryn was Lewis' granddaughter in Kathryn's presence was clearly an attempt to provide comfort and relieve tension. However, this remark only added to the unease in Benjamin's heart."How can you be so considerate and caring toward an outsider while treating Susan so badly all these years ..." His words tr

    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.
