Everyone in Harborlean knew that Krista was the type of person willing to do anything to achieve her goals.

Why did she believe Kathryn was her daughter, even though she hadn't conducted a DNA test yet?

Besides, the Winchesters wouldn't allow Susan to marry Chris anymore. Was it necessary for Krista to defend Kathryn in such a malicious way?

A sense of coldness emerged in Krista's smile. "I'm sorry. I really have no idea what you're talking about, Mr. Benjamin. What do you mean?"

"You …" Benjamin was hitting the roof. He instinctively clenched his fists.

Krista stood up and walked toward Benjamin. She lifted her head and asked, "Did Susan tell you that I rammed her on purpose?"

"Didn't you?" Benjamin sneered.

With a scoff, Krista's laughter added a layer of sarcasm to the already tense atmosphere.

She continued in an indifferent tone, saying, "It's good that she's aware of it. Perhaps it would be more beneficial if she could view the accident as a valuable lesson."

    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

    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

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.
