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

    Chris looked at his face and knew he was clueless about it.Then, he asked again, "How much has your father cared for Susan over the years? Everyone in Harborlean knows. Don't tell me you don't.Everyone in Harborlean knew how much the Winchesters cared for their adopted daughter.She was adopted. Yet, the Winchesters held her close to their hearts.They spent millions on a mere birthday party for her.If they loved their adopted daughter so dearly, what would happen to their biological daughter? Travis understood what Chris was implying after hearing him out. "Are you worried that after Kathryn returns, the Winchesters won't—""Travis, she is my wife. I need to consider what is good for her."Chris sternly interrupted Travis before he could finish.Since Travis and Benjamin left Sunshine Bay, Chris had been weighing the benefits of who Kathryn should be.Undoubtedly, Kathryn would bring him and the Albert family countless benefits as a Winchester.Yet, Krista would go ball

    Chris' face turned colder. "If he insists, I'll let this go easily. Got it?"Chris was upfront with Travis.He had two choices before him—his wife or brother from another mother. It was a no-brainer that Chris would choose Kathryn.Chris knew who Benjamin was like the back of his palm.If he was too insistent on this matter, the consequences would be dire.Travis knew his concerns. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I got it."Both of them talked for a while more.Travis expressed his desire to reconfirm Kathryn's identity many times.Yet, Travis had become less insistent about it after Chris broke down the pros and cons for him.Chris had a point.He was protective of Kathryn. Yet, from the looks of things, the troubles in the Albert family were far from gone.Krista was a game-changer. She knew the weaknesses of everyone in the Albert family. She knew how to handle them.Plus, the Albert family would accept her even if Kathryn was a Winchester. However, it wouldn't be

    Travis was turning his car out of Sunshine Bay and onto the main road. Then, he saw Benjamin's car turning into the road toward Sunshine Bay.Travis frowned. He glanced at the rearview mirror briefly and stopped his car by the roadside.Travis knew very well why he was at Sunshine Bay.He looked for his phone and called Benjamin. Benjamin answered the call quickly, "Travis!""Turn around and come back," Travis said coldly.His trip to Sunshine Bay now was a waste of time. Plus, he would trigger Chris too.Chris had laid out the pros and cons of the situation clearly.The Albert family was in an undesirable state. He would never hope for anyone to mess with the manageable balance he had now.Benjamin, who was driving to Sunshine Bay, heard Travis.His eyebrows knitted together tightly. "Where are you?""I'm right outside waiting for you."Benjamin didn't want to turn back.Yet, Travis did not hang up. A ball of rage formed in his heart. He was angry, but he turned back anywa

    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.
