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

    Nalia came into the room with the spicy spaghetti salad. "Mrs. Albert.""Yes?""Get up and have some spicy spaghetti salad."Kathryn was silent. When she heard the words "spicy spaghetti salad", she immediately felt energized and quickly sat up from the sofa. Seeing this, Nalia put the plate on the table and helped her.Kathryn could already smell the food. When she saw some eggs in the salad, she felt her appetite come alive. Now that she was pregnant, her taste was constantly changing. She had been craving spicy food these days."You should try it," Nalia said.Kathryn asked, "How did you make this?"When she was downstairs just now, Chris kept micromanaging what the kitchen could make for her. But it was so rare to see them make some spicy spaghetti salad under his watchful eye.Kathryn took a bite, and she felt better.Nalia said, "Mr. Albert made this."Kathryn froze as she held her fork. She looked at Nalia in disbelief.Nalia explained, "Mr. Albert felt sorry for you.

    Before Martha could say anything, Chris said, "I'm still busy, so I'm hanging up!""Wait!" When Martha realized Chris didn't want to keep talking, she panicked. She held back her anger and asked, "Then, you're not serious about this, are you?"Since Chris was just teaching Emily a lesson, he wouldn't let her rot in prison, right?It wasn't that Martha didn't believe in her son, but some things had happened between them, so she knew very well that Chris wouldn't forgive her so easily. There was a reason why their relationship had been strained for years.Noticing Martha's nervousness, Chris snickered, "What do you mean by serious?""You—""She needs to take responsibility for her own actions. And I'm very serious about taking responsibility for my wife."Martha remained silent."Since you two claim that you're doing this for my own good, you'd better think about what you should and should not do!"After saying that, Chris hung up, not giving Martha a chance to reply. Seriously?

    Kathryn was very gentle when she was here previously. So, why was she acting so greedy now?However, Chris was treating her with a lot of care, so the maid didn't dare to refute her at all. "All right, I'll tell Mr. Lowe immediately." The maid quickly went down with the packed items. When she walked to the door, she saw Tally, who had been waiting for a long time. She called respectfully, "Hello, Ms. Johnson."When Kathryn heard her words, she immediately turned around. She saw Tally, and the arrogance on her face was immediately gone.The maid went downstairs in a hurry, fearing that Kathryn would be unhappy with something else. It was really annoying.After the maid walked a distance away, Tally approached Kathryn and clicked her tongue, "This is how you should be. Now, you look like the lady of the house." Before, anyone could step on Kathryn without repercussions. Tally felt worried just by looking at her.Kathryn hummed, "As if I want to be the lady of the house.""Well, y

    Before Tally could reply, Kathryn said, "Tally, I'll pay you back as soon as possible."After going to Brookside Town, she contacted the management there. The manager was a very enthusiastic old man, and he particularly loved relief sculptures. When he found out Lewis taught her, he was even more curious about her skills.Just like that, the old manager helped promote her work in the sculpting industry. It opened a lot of doors for her. Just this morning, Kathryn had received a gig. She had to make a relief sculpture of 30 square feet for the gate of a scenic spot.The client agreed to let her do it after she gave birth to her child. The payment for this order was worth a few hundred thousand dollars. In the past, she had to forgo her dignity for money. But now that she had found a way out of her predicament, she felt proud.Tally still didn't understand how Kathryn was so brave. She took a few deep breaths. "Do you really think paying me back is the issue now?""I'll definitely p

    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.
