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
Victor smiled and pinched her cheek. "What's wrong? Can't bear to see him suffer?""Hmph, as if!" That wasn't possible. Tally wanted to make Markus go bankrupt. There was no way she would feel bad for him. Even if she relented, she wouldn't relent for an annoying piece of trash like Markus.Victor smiled at her disdainful tone.Soon, it began to rain. The two of them didn't talk anymore and relaxed, feeling very comfortable. They were staying on the top floor of the hotel villa, and listening to the pitter-patter on the roof was therapeutic.Then, they gradually fell asleep.Markus left the Yonder Canyon in one car while Irina drove behind them. Not long after they left, it started to rain heavily.The roads in the mountains were narrow. But now that it was raining, it became even harder to drive through them. So, they also moved slower.Irina estimated that she would only return to the city around 10:00 am, so she sent Victor a message to take the day off. She had been work
After taking a look at the situation, Markus glared at Irina. "I can't believe you have the guts to drive here with your awful driving skills!"His tone was extremely harsh. Coupled with his resentment during the day and knowing that Irina had a hand in the Johnson Group's actions, he was even more angry.Irina got a little angry after being yelled at. She had been exhausted, and she'd finally had some time to rest. However, now that they were stuck here, she was also in a bad mood.The respect she showed Markus during the day was gone. She snapped, "What do my driving skills have to do with you, Mr. Markus?""They don't have anything to do with me. But now, everyone can't leave this place because of you." Markus glared at her.Irina couldn't believe he was glaring at her. She was furious as well. She stopped pretending to be civil. "Do you think I wanted this to happen? I've never driven in the mountains before. Is there any point blaming me for this? Since you're so capable, g
The corners of Irina's lip twitched as she stared at Markus, who had been abandoned.Yet, she only glanced at him briefly. Then, she straightened her body. With the strength that she had left, she chased after Byron and the two bodyguards and left.Both bodyguards walked extremely fast.This must have been a joke. How would one not be terrified of sharing an umbrella with their boss?Byron didn't walk very fast, so Markus caught up with him.The rain was too heavy. He wanted to take cover under Byron's umbrella. Unfortunately, the umbrella was too small.Byron's shoulder was drenched with water even though he was the only one under the umbrella."Who were these people you brought?" Markus said with rage in his tone.They'd practically snatched the umbrellas earlier.Byron glanced at him, confused. "They are bodyguards. Don't think of them as slaves."So, using Joseph at his expense was never going to work here.The corners of Markus' lip twitched. "Don't tell me you'll let s
Byron was hot under the collar.If he hadn't come here to find Victor unexpectedly, none of this would have happened.Irina finished her shower and looked at the front desk pleadingly, "Miss, I think I caught the flu."Her voice was gentle. Even the lady at the front desk would melt at the sound of it.Byron and Markus, who were deep in their argument, were stunned by her voice.They glared fiercely at Irina's back. Victor kept such an adaptable and unpredictable woman around him.The receptionist smiled and poured her a glass of warm water. She said, "There is a sofa in the break room. Why don't you stay there tonight, Ms. Mitchell?" "Can I?"Of course, you can. Mandy, please bring Ms. Mitchell to the break room.""Okay!"The other female receptionist got up quickly. She was thoughtful enough to bring a blanket with her. "After you.""Thank you, miss," Irina said sweetly.She had easily secured a place to stay when there were no rooms available.The men were left dumbfou
Irina sat alone at a different table. Anyone could tell that she was drawing clear boundaries with Markus and everyone else.The look on her face could scare anyone to death.Irina got up and respectfully addressed Victor and Tally when she saw them. "Mr. Glenn. Ms. Johnson."Victor frowned. "Why are you still here?""The way down the mountain collapsed. The car I drove is stuck in the ditch, so I came up here."Victor furrowed his eyebrows. "Collapsed? There weren't any available rooms here last night. How did you settle your accommodations?"Irina was stunned by his response.She instinctively glanced at Victor. He had never once shown care toward his employees.She looked at Victor, then turned her focus to Tally. She quickly understood the root of the change.She smiled and said, "The receptionist pitied me and let me stay in the break room for the night."Victor nodded and didn't say anything else. He ushered Tally in.On the other hand, Byron was forcefully holding Mar
Tally tread carefully around Markus. She would treat him like a criminal.…The road was cleared.Markus was forced into the car. Irina's car was removed from the ditch too.As she saw the darkened face behind the car window, an urge to mock him came to her.She waved her hand at them. "Listen to your brother from now on, Mr. Markus. Don't cause trouble anymore."Markus glared fiercely at Irina. That glare was about to rip her into shreds.Irina was smug.Needless to say, her entire time with Tally was to handle the trouble Markus caused.Although she did not cross paths with him often, she hated him.She had witnessed just how childish he was in front of his brother, Byron. She couldn't help but look smug.…Chris walked up the stairs in Sunshine Bay. He saw Frank staring at two big boxes with a troubled look on his face. Frank saw him and hesitantly went to him. "Mr. Albert.""What are those?"Chris looked at the two big boxes and asked with furrowed brows.Frank sai
