Travis hastily shoved Benjamin into the car before he could regain his footing. Once inside, Travis sped away, the engine roaring as they left Krista's residence. The events unfolded so swiftly that it felt as if there hadn't been a conflict just moments ago.Wiping the corner of his lips, Benjamin discovered his hand was smeared with blood. Gasping in pain, he shot an irritated look at Travis, who was focused on driving. "What's wrong with you?"Resentment brewed within Benjamin due to Travis' actions as his pain intensified. Travis was driving at a very high speed at the moment. Swiftly navigating a sharp turn, he seamlessly merged onto the main road.Benjamin hadn't secured his seatbelt. Consequently, his head collided with the car window during the abrupt turn, leaving him with a noticeable bump. His frustration boiled over.Travis glanced at him coldly. "Did you forget what I told you?""I didn't come for Kathryn today!" Benjamin growled furiously, wincing in pain once mo
Despite everything, Kathryn remained blissfully unaware. She stayed relaxed by Chris' side, often spacing out. With Chris providing her six meals daily, she emerged from the postpartum period with a healthy glow that sparked envy. Krista had been sending a lot of stuff to Sunshine Bay. Some were for the baby, while others were for Kathryn's postpartum care. However, Kathryn remained oblivious to these gestures. The kitchen staff had prepared a breakfast yogurt bowl with a mix of berries. While Kathryn enjoyed the flavors, she was clueless about the dish's composition and had no awareness of the high cost associated with the ingredients.The entirety of the month saw Chris standing by her side at Sunshine Bay, marking a month since she had given birth. Chris pondered the idea of bringing her to work with him.Kathryn asked, "Can we bring the baby with us?"Chris' countenance fell instantly. Unbeknownst to everyone, he had been in a month-long struggle for bed space with the bab
Chris took the folder from Tara and opened it right away, extracting the documents from within. The folder contained only a handful of documents, yet it provided a clear and thorough explanation of everything that transpired before Krista became a part of the Albert family.Chris had to acknowledge Tara's competence. Markus had hired her to work at the Albert Group before he left the company. Her thorough investigation extended to every detail, even though it concerned events from long ago.Upon finishing the reading, a frown creased Chris' face as he turned his attention toward Tara. "She didn't marry that husband of hers, then?"Tara nodded. "Back then, she felt embarrassed about him because he was a penniless painter. She adamantly refused to marry him under any circumstances."Tara had even unearthed the reason behind Krista's rejection of the painter. Indeed, Tara was quite capable."Where is he now?"Tara remained silent. Everything had been outlined in the documents. Ch
"Please don't mess with the portions, " Krista added, a sense of unease creeping in. The nanny nodded again. "Yes, I understand. No need to worry." Krista had more to say, but suddenly, Kathryn seized the package from the nanny and thrust it into Krista's arms. The peaceful scene just moments ago took an abrupt turn, now filled with tension and conflict.Krista's chest instinctively constricted at the sight of Kathryn, mirroring the surprise evident on the nanny's face."M-Mrs. Albert!"The nanny's anxious tone sparked instant anger in Kathryn, nearly causing her to lose her cool. Her furious gaze then turned toward Krista. However, Kathryn was too incensed to utter a word.Krista was too stunned to speak. Krista observed the fury in Kathryn's eyes as they locked gazes. The overwhelming atmosphere made it hard for her to breathe, and she felt stifled at the moment."K-Kathryn …""What is that?" Kathryn asked coldly.Kathryn had witnessed Krista's frightening side before.
Tally found herself buried under a mountain of work at the moment, thanks to the mess she had gotten into after the vacation at Yonder Canyon. Undoubtedly, Markus was the culprit once again.In Tally's opinion, Markus had never done anything remotely acceptable.She had just exited the meeting room when she received a phone call from Kathryn. Her face instantly fell when Kathryn told her what had happened."Did you say that Krista was trying to harm you again? She was crying when she was caught red-handed? Are you sure that you are talking about Krista?"Tally believed Krista was trying to harm Kathryn, but she found it hard to believe Kathryn's claim that Krista had cried. Krista didn't even shed a tear when she got kicked out of the Albert family. Instead, she recklessly sought revenge on Franco. Tally was surprised to learn that Krista's tears had been brought on by Kathryn's accusation. She pondered over the motive behind Krista's tears. Was it an attempt to gain sympathy
The financial statements of the Johnson Group, spanning both past and present, were currently under review.If the verdict favored Markus, she was doomed. Not only would she need to compensate a substantial amount of money, but she would also have to include him in the business.Tally's breathing became uneven as she thought about this.Markus chuckled. "Yes, I know. After all, you are the Johnson Group's CEO. Of course, it's you!"Tally gritted her teeth, shooting him a wordless glare. Her anger had left her at a loss for words. Tally had learned a lot over the years working in the Albert Group. Yet, law was the one thing she didn't pick up.In this situation, however, she knew she had to familiarize herself with the legal aspects.She hoped that the friction with Victor wouldn't escalate any further.Observing her silence, Markus remarked, "Do you want me to withdraw the lawsuit?""Would you?" Tally asked.She found it hard to believe that Markus would be so benevolent.M
Markus immediately sued her after returning from Yonder Canyon. They hadn't met since then. Tally thought they could use the law to finally resolve their relationship. However, Markus came to see her today. Upon seeing him, Tally could no longer contain the surge of rage in her heart.Victor raised an eyebrow and asked nonchalantly, "What did he say?"In contrast to Tally's anger, Victor remained indifferent to Markus' tactics.Tally heaved with anger. "What else could he say? He sued me!""I thought he had already sued you. Did he come to inform you personally?"Tally's breathing grew heavy.That was precisely what happened.After receiving a summons, she didn't seek him out. As such, he came knocking on her door.Not once did Tally lay blame on him or show any indications of blaming, even after the summons was received.Yet, Victor could sense Tally's anxiety. He gently squeezed her wrist and said, "Don't worry, okay?""I'm not worried. I'm furious."Knowing someone like
Jonathan couldn't help but hiss, "They are here for Mr. Markus.""What did he do this time?" Byron's tone instantly turned cold, and his head began to throb.Markus had become an entirely different person since returning from the Albert Group.The loss of the composure he once had was the least of his worries. His actions were taking on a more absurd nature.Byron theorized that Markus' act of rebellion manifested itself later in life. Markus had never rebelled at the age of 16, but now he was unleashing his inner rebellion. Rebelling at this stage of life seemed less than ideal.Jonathan took a deep breath before explaining, "He went to the Johnson Group this morning. Then, Tally slapped him with a lawsuit.""What did she sue him for? Did he force himself on her?" Byron's voice unintentionally took on a higher pitch.At this moment, he wanted to give Markus a piece of his mind.Markus hadn't contacted Tally since his return from Yonder Canyon. Byron believed he had given up
