"He said nothing when I went to find him last night. Do you think I would have anything to say to him now?"Did Henry say Markus had something to say to her?Did he think he could say what he pleased? He wasn't interested in listening to anyone else.Henry heard the sarcasm in Tally's tone. He couldn't help but scratch his head awkwardly.Honestly, he wouldn't agree to Markus buying over Isaac's shares.It didn't matter what his intentions were, but it would definitely rub Tally the wrong way.This was exactly what happened. It was as if he disturbed the lioness in her sleep; she was terrifying."Tell him to get down from his high horse. He must not dare think everyone is terrified of him because he had the world in his hands once."Tally dropped her sarcasm and went toward the elevator.Her stone-cold attitude was obvious—she didn't want to see Markus.Cold sweat instantly broke on Henry's back. He quickly went after her. "Ms. Johnson, Isaac's shares would impact you greatly
"She's asleep!" Chris said that and immediately hung up on her.Tally was stupefied as the "beep" sounded on the phone.What a boor Chris was!His wife was spending her own money to survive the past few days. How could he turn his back on her like that?"Hmph, birds of the same feather flock together." She was insulting Markus too.Yet, she quickly realized Victor was amongst them too, so she didn't curse any further.But, what was with his attitude? He wouldn't allow her to meet Kathryn.He ought to know their friendship was as solid as a rock.Did he think he could stop Tally from seeing Kathryn because he said so? She was certain Kathryn would take no more than three days to find her.How socially inept Chris was!Tally could use her relationship with Kathryn to put in a good word for him. He would be set up for a good life.Chris had better pray that he'd never argue with Kathryn ever again. How dare he offend a mediator like Tally?Everything was barely going Tally's w
They'd finally had a taste of downright indifference from men of the Albert family.Savanna saw how unwell Krista was and handed her a glass of milk. "Eat some breakfast, okay?"Krista shook her head blankly.All she could think about was the fear in Kathryn's eyes when she saw her.The ruthless things she did to Kathryn in the past were playing in her mind like a movie.These images were a kind of mental torture for her.'You can't go on like this. You must perk up," Savanna said worriedly as she looked at Krista's haggard face.Krista heaved a deep breath as tears swelled up in her eyes."You know what those men from the Albert family are like. They'll coddle you when they are in a good mood. But, they could turn against you and do something heinous when they are heartless. Are you sure you want to leave her with Chris?"From where Savanna stood, Kathryn reconciling with Chris continued to worry them.Plus, Franco was a casanova. He might have passed down this horrible trai
Frankly speaking, they only identified Kathryn's identity based on the birthmark. Coincidences may not happen every day, yet this was too big of a coincidence to ignore.It would be to their benefit to run a maternity test to be extra sure.Savanna only realized this in hindsight. She had been too emotionally involved in handling Kathryn's matter previously.She looked at Krista and asked gently, "What do you think?"At the end of the day, it was Krista who had the final say. It was her daughter, after all.Krista, on the other hand, was only shocked momentarily.Now, a firm look settled in her eyes as she shook her head. "There's no need. I won't be wrong about my own daughter."She knew what it meant to go through with the maternity test.Plus, she had no clue if Kathryn was willing to accept her.Yet, it didn't matter whether she was willing. Going through with this maternity test would inevitably push her away. Savanna agreed with Krista not to go through with it.Aft
Susan was taken aback.In the midst of it, panic flickered in her eyes.It was so fast that Benjamin didn't notice it.He nodded in delight. "Yes. If everything goes well, she should be with us in no time."All these years, they had never given up looking for Kathryn.Their mother had no choice but to leave the tiny baby at the hospital entrance back then.They always thought she was still alive, but were unsure how life was for her.So, they never gave up searching for her."Oh, that's great! Who is she?" Susan asked with a smile.She looked delighted.Benjamin didn't share Kathryn's name and only said, "Let's wait for the results first."After all, years had passed.His mother, who had passed on, was the one who shared about his sister's scar.No one had seen it with their own eyes what the scar looked like. So, it was better to wait for the results.Years had passed. They had lost track of the number of disappointments they endured.They prayed to God not to let them
Women used their children to establish their positions among the wealthy. That way of thinking was merely a fool's dream.Many wealthy families had children with mothers of unfavorable status. These children never had mothers by their side.Marriages among the wealthy were always based on benefits.Relying on children to get what shouldn't be yours would leave one with nothing.The Albert family still allowed Kathryn to carry her baby. From where Susan stood, it seemed like they wanted to keep the baby but not the mother.She couldn't be bothered about the baby's existence. After all, she didn't need to raise it.Susan was busy scheming, oblivious to Benjamin's face gradually darkening by her side.She was still talking to herself, "Ben, you will help me, right? I'm not young anymore. It's time for me to get married."She couldn't no longer delay another second with Chris.Krista once guaranteed the Winchesters and Alberts would successfully join in matrimony.So, she placed
"That won't be necessary. I don't need it either." Krista was as blunt as a foot to the face at this point.Susan's face drained of color at the other side of the phone.She never thought Krista, who was abandoned by the Albert family, would straight up reject her.She had nothing to her name at this point. Would she want an ally on her side now?She could possibly return to the Albert family with the Winchesters' support.How could she be so oblivious to such a powerful ally?Krista said before Susan said anything else, "I'm busy. Goodbye."Beeps resounded through the phone.Petulance flicked in Susan's eyes.She gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turned white from the grip.What was an abandoned woman doing putting on airs?…Krista felt a sense of relief when she hung up.She was unwilling to reminisce about how she was in the same boat with that gang of thieves.They were fake. Yet, she put more pretenses than they did.What a joke she felt as she stared at her
"We didn't have an agreement," Chris argued.They didn't sign any agreement or contract. There was no paper trail for it."Exactly. It seems like whatever you say, goes."Chris was rendered speechless. He couldn't blame anyone but himself.He swore secretly to himself. He would never establish a verbal agreement with Kathryn for anything ever again.Now, there was no way to turn back on his word."It's my fault!"He explained himself in every way possible. Chris had no other way but to apologize.Kathryn was silent at this pointHe may have apologized. Yet, she still felt uneasy and didn't want to forgive him.She suffered too much that day, but he refused to see her.Chris sat behind her and scooped her into his embrace. "Okay, don't be sad anymore. I was thinking of you then …"Chris sighed as he explained.No one knew what he was thinking when he saw the examination reports at the hospital. His mind questioned what would happen to her if she no longer had him.No one d
