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

    Chris was already unhappy. Now, his face was more somber than ever."Kat, you shouldn't eat too much junk food like ice cream. You're pregnant."Tally heard Kathryn's comment about bland food and immediately remembered the Brookside Town shops from her transactions.Everything she ate was heavily seasoned.Hence, the food here tasted bland to her.The atmosphere in the dining hall became palpably cold after her thoughtless remark.Victor felt something was off. He cleared his throat and said to Tally, "Finish your food quickly. We have something to attend to.""What do we have?"Tally looked at Victor, perplexed.Tally continued before Victor could answer, "I want to go shopping with Kat."The baby was due soon. Kathryn would need to get baby supplies.Chris had prepared everything already. Yet, when they saw the supplies upstairs, they were decent but not up to their standards.A gloomy look painted Chris' face again.This time, Victor immediately noticed his displeasure.

    Kathryn was about to visit Jessica with Tally after lunch. Yet, she received a call from Jessica at Sunshine Bay.Jessica told Kathryn on the phone, "I'm busy this afternoon. Let's reschedule. You should rest since you just got back.""Oh, okay."Jessica said she was busy so Kathryn couldn't visit her.Yet, she couldn't help but ask, "Have you taken care of Kelly's situation?"Something happened when she mentioned transferring Kelly to a different school.She was unsure if Chris was still helping Jessica."She transferred to a different school already," Jessica replied.However, she was struggling more because of the transfer. Yet, she didn't say a word about it on the phone.Jessica didn't wait for Kathryn to respond and said, "I will change Kelly's name in a few days."She wasn't Matthew's actual daughter.So, Kelly shouldn't be a Quinton anymore.She didn't know who the father was and had nothing to do with the man.So, she would change Kelly's surname to her maiden nam

    "It looks like you haven't been taking care of your diet.""I don't care. What can you do about it?" Kathryn instinctively retorted when she heard the displeasure from Chris' tone.That triggered Chris even more.He could tell that Kathryn had picked up a few bad habits when she was away.She had gotten undeniably bolder too.Money couldn't control her anymore. There wasn't much she was afraid of at this point.Chris, in his fit of rage, couldn't help but pinch her soft lips."Hmm!" Kathryn groaned in pain.Then, he pinched her face. Tears welled up in her eyes. "What are you doing?"He pinched her face! Didn't he know how painful that was?Chris snorted coldly, "Try talking back at me again, huh?""I …"Before she could finish, she noticed Chris raising his hand. Kathryn instinctively swallowed her words.Yet, she realized she was no longer terrified of him. She didn't resign to her fate and said, "Don't listen to me if you don't like it."She said to say something in re

    Chris' sudden actions shocked everyone present.Frank hurried forward. "Mr. Albert, what would Mrs. Albert like to have? Should I get someone to—""Get out!" Chris coldly ordered before Frank could finish speaking. Right now, he couldn't trust others to handle the amount of spice and sugar they put in the dishes.Chris probably didn't care so much about this previously, but ever since the misdiagnosis, he had become more concerned. Kathryn only ate a little for lunch or dinner.Chris made her a plate of spicy spaghetti salad. There were some cucumbers in the fridge, so he added some to the salad. As soon as he was done, his phone started vibrating. He asked Nalia to serve the food while he walked outside to answer the phone. Nalia still hadn't recovered from her shock when Frank ordered, "Hurry up and serve it!""Oh, okay!" Nalia nodded and quickly served the food to Kathryn. There was even some eggs in the salad. They had never seen their boss cook before. But now, looking at

    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.
