Didn't she owe Victor a little too much now? He said it was just a name change, but in fact, it wasn't exactly the case. He changed the Johnson Group from a joint stock company into an industrial corporation.Although there wasn't much of a difference, a joint stock company didn't have much connection with an industrial corporation. Tally had to admit that Victor was ruthless.Tally looked at Irina in disbelief. "So, the shares that Markus has are useless now?"Irina nodded. "Yes, they are."Since they had declared bankruptcy, there wasn't any use for them anymore. All the previous legal entities and representatives were replaced. So, the shares Markus had bought were now worth nothing.Tally sucked in a harsh breath. Once again, she had to admit that Victor was ruthless. Why didn't she come up with this idea? This was a great idea. Markus would probably be pissed if he knew about it.That was good. Tally wished he would stay pissed for eternity. Thinking of how annoying that pie
"How much did you spend?""The amount you'd spend on gifts!" Victor gave her an estimate.Tally's eyes widened at his words. He'd spent so much money! It was worth one-tenth of the Johnson Group's assets. She thought she owed Victor in the first place, but now, she seemed to owe him even more."I have to show you even more of my gratitude." Tally coughed and asked with a smile, "What do you want?""So, you'll give me whatever I want?""Of course. I'll give you anything, provided that I have it!" Tally said. This was a huge thank-you gift, after all.That bastard Markus was a mad lad. He had thoroughly screwed with her during this period. Now that she had finally solved the problems he had caused, she wanted to express her gratitude to Victor.Victor asked, "Are you really willing to give anything?""Of course! Definitely!"Victor's smile widened slightly. When he stopped at the red light, he looked at Tally, his eyes seemingly shining like stars. He said in his stunning voice,
Markus refused to leave without seeing Tally. So, he waited at the Johnson Group, and he even called her again and again.At this moment, Tally and Victor were dining in the restaurant. He considerately helped her cut the steak into small pieces, which were just right for Tally.When she saw Markus calling, she immediately turned over her phone.Victor picked up his glass of red wine and took a sip. "Is Markus calling you?""Yeah, he must be going crazy!"Victor nodded. "He should be. After all, he spent so much money buying those shares from Isaac."Now that his efforts were all in vain, there was no way he wouldn't be ballistic.Tally said, "Irina is pretty smart. Can you leave her with me?""Getting greedy now, aren't you?" Victor said with a smile. He didn't refuse, but after hearing his words, Tally knew that idea was a no-go. She pouted. "You have so many capable people with you.""Do you really want her to work with you?""Yeah!" Tally nodded. She really wanted that.
Irina didn't expect Markus to be patient enough to wait. Noticing how awkward the assistant felt, she finally stepped forward and said, "Mr. Markus, Ms. Johnson won't be back today. There's no point waiting for her!"When Markus heard that Tally wouldn't be here, he looked at Irina dangerously. "Didn't you say they went out for a meal?""A dog like me can't ask my owner about her plans in detail. Don't you think so?" Irina retorted.Her words made Markus gloomy. Was this woman holding a grudge?Irina said, "Are you leaving? Do you want me to give you a ride?"She was obviously just an assistant, but the confidence and arrogance she exuded weren't traits ordinary people had.Inevitably, this made Markus look at her in a new light.Irina said, "It seems that you don't need a ride. But if you want to wait for Ms. Johnson, do it at the company's entrance. Don't delay our employees from getting off work. They've been working for an entire day!"Only people who worked for Victor coul
When Chris heard that this concerned Markus, he said without thinking, "My wife just gave birth to our child. I don't have the time to go there!"Markus hadn't completely settled things with what happened in Fernland, and now, he was causing trouble the moment he returned. What on earth was he doing in Yonder Canyon? Needless to say, Chris knew what Byron was worried about. If fighting could clear Markus' head, he would rather let Victor beat him up.He was puzzled about what had happened to Markus. He had been acting strange since he left the Albert Group and returned to the Skyline Group.Chris wasn't going to Yonder Canyon. It would be fine if Kathryn was done with recuperating. At worst, he would just take her with him.However, he couldn't do that. Right now, he still hadn't gotten his facts straight on the issue between Krista and the Winchesters. He had to be careful here. But after hanging up, he called Victor.Victor and the others were playing poker. When he answered
However, why did Markus change after he left the Albert Group?Hannah didn't know much about their ordeal; she simply played cards. When Tally made a bet, she yelled, "I have a royal flush!"After losing two games in a row, Tally cursed Markus profusely. That shit magnet really annoyed her. She and Victor had no idea that Markus was coming because Marco booked only two rooms for them …At 11:00 pm, Markus still hadn't arrived. Tally, tired after hanging out for so long, wanted to sleep.When she went to the front desk to get the room card, she realized she was in the same room as Victor. She said, "Can you book another room for me?""I'm sorry, Ms. Johnson. It's the spa's peak session. There aren't any vacant rooms."Tally gasped. If there weren't any vacant rooms, then …She glanced at Victor behind her and said, "Why don't you share a room with Marco while I share one with Hannah?"Tally had been chatting with Hannah all afternoon, and she could get along with her. So, she d
Markus walked around the room. When he didn't see Victor, he looked at her sinisterly. "Where the hell's Victor?"Victor? Wasn't he here to see her?But considering how smart Markus was, he should know that Victor was responsible for this incident. So, was confronting her not enough? Did he have to involve Victor in this too?Tally said angrily, "Why are you looking for him?"This problem had frazzled her mind. She finally had the chance to relax today, but Markus had ruined her mood. This made her very upset.When Markus saw Tally gritting her teeth, he became even angrier. "Tally, you clearly know what kind of person he is. Even so, how can you have the guts to go out with him?"This time, Tally came back to her senses. Markus had quarreled with her about this issue before. However, was it even necessary to fight over this issue in the first place?Taking a deep breath, she retorted, "What does it have to do with you? You're getting too involved.""Your father is still in the
The moment Tally finished speaking, Markus couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her wrist and walked out.His sudden actions made Tally yell in surprise, "Let go of me, you bastard!"Victor didn't expect Markus to act this outrageously after losing a verbal fight. Hence, he didn't hesitate anymore. When the two walked past him, he punched Markus in the face. The already tense situation escalated in an instant.Their fight would have been disastrous if Byron hadn't arrived in time. In other words, it was fortunate Byron brought two people with him. Otherwise, with how insane Markus was acting, he wouldn't be able to take him away by himself.Even after they left, Tally and Victor were still speechless as they looked at each other.Tally grimaced. "He's really nuts."Victor nodded. "Yeah, definitely!"Tally sighed. She was so unlucky to end up provoking a madman like him. But she didn't even know how she had provoked him. Until now, she still hadn't figured it out.Irina was st
