"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

    "Tally is here. I …""Walk slowly," Chris reprimanded sternly.Kathryn was stunned for a brief moment. Then, she said arrogantly, "Don't raise your voice at me. I haven't forgiven you yet."Chris was rendered speechless.Her words had shunned him back to his place.When he finally snapped back into reality, Kathryn was nowhere in sight.Since last night, Frank had witnessed Chris sulking countless times.He couldn't help but stifle a laugh as he saw how helpless Chris was toward Kathryn.Chris was brewing in anger."That stupid girl!"She was getting bolder now.How could she not forgive him? What was she trying to do? Hold this over his head?Frank laughed. "Mrs. Albert had become quite a character this time.""And is that supposed to be a good thing? Can't you see that she is about to turn the world upside down?"Chris couldn't accept Frank's comment.He thought Kathryn's character was becoming a handful. His head couldn't help but throb.Frank replied, "It's better t

    His comment didn't seem appropriate. What did he mean by "a devil in disguise?"Victor couldn't help but defend Tally over the phone. "You're biting the hand that fed you."If it weren't for Tally, your wife and baby would be spending Lloyd's money."Kathryn would have been starving if Lloyd wasn't in the picture.Tally supported his wife and baby for him. Yet, there wasn't a single good word for her from him. This was unacceptable.Chris asked, "Are you coming?""Of course, why wouldn't I? I'm coming now."Then, he hung up.Chris only realized something after hearing the beeping from the phone—why didn't he call Markus?Tally and Kathryn were only away from each other for a few days.Yet, they were inseparable and couldn't stop talking.Victor arrived an hour later and found them talking in hushed voices in the room.Victor saw the darkened look on Chris' face and asked, "Are you sure I can get her from the room?" Kathryn brought Tally into her room with Chris. Never in

    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.
