Chris took Kathryn into his arms, kissing her lips intensely as he held her chin. Though the kiss exuded fierceness, a subtle undercurrent of affection lingered.Kathryn's lips were still in pain. She was so infuriated as Chris had treated her so harshly that she wanted to punch him.Chris seized her wrist. He asked with a smile, "Do you really want to hit me?""H-Hold the baby properly! Don't drop him!" Kathryn couldn't believe Chris could do something like that even though he was holding the baby. It seemed that he wasn't exhausted at all after working.Chris grinned, releasing her wrist before heading to the nanny's room with the baby.Almost instantly, he returned. He scooped Kathryn up and threw her onto the bed. Her body exuded a soft fragrance. Kathryn sensed his intentions. She was so irritated that she immediately kicked him. "Stop it." She was already in so much pain.Observing Kathryn's audacious display of anger, Chris seized her feet and gently pulled her toward
Krista shook her head with agony. "How would I get into a fight with her? I just …"She recollected what she had done back then. She had gone to the pharmacy to buy Kathryn medicine and health supplements. She had carefully chosen them for her.She was well aware of the problems a mother would face after giving birth since she had given birth to two children before herself. She knew how to avoid the troubles. She didn't expect that things would turn out like this.Krista recounted the entire situation to Savanna. Savanna could hardly breathe as she listened.Tears eventually fell from Krista's eyes. "I am doing my best to care for her. I'd never harm her.""I know, I know. The problem is that she has no idea about it. Besides, back then, we had …" Savanna immediately paused when she mentioned the past.Krista had been looking troubled. Her face grew even paler when Savanna brought it up. She recalled what she had tried to do back then."You're right. Didn't I want to take her
Krista sneered as she contemplated the Winchesters, believing they had overlooked the lesson she had imparted to Susan.She remembered that Travis had turned against the Winchesters back then as his relationship with the family had fallen apart. She couldn't believe that he was behaving differently now.Closing her eyes with a dangerous air, she remarked, "You're right. None of these men can be trusted at all."Despite briefly trusting Chris, Krista concluded, after Savanna's revelations, that she couldn't trust him either. She deemed trusting herself wiser, recognizing that marriages in affluent families often stemmed from strategic alliances.Savanna nodded. "For now, we need to address the situation with the Winchesters. Susan Winchester might cause Kathryn trouble.""I should have killed her right away last time," Krista sneered, her tone carrying a dangerous undertone.Savanna remained silent, her eyes flashing with an unprecedented determination. Temporarily setting aside K
Benjamin was certain that Chris and Kathryn were a match made in heaven. How could they accuse him of talking nonsense when they were so mean themselves?He had intended to have a confrontation right in front of Kathryn. Yet, Chris and Kathryn were singing the same tune. He couldn't steer the conversation in the intended direction.Kathryn immediately left the basement with the children when she noticed what was going to happen."Stop right there!" Benjamin roared in fury as he witnessed Kathryn hastily escaping from the basement.Chris immediately shoved him to the ground when Kathryn entered the elevator. "Benjamin Winchester, that's enough. You've gone too far."Benjamin, taken aback, found himself on the floor.Now that Kathryn had left, his eyes grew fiercer as he locked onto Chris. He got up and fiercely swung a folder at Chris' head. Chris instantly caught it with his hand.Benjamin erupted in hysterical growls. "'Krista's daughter,' I see? Look at this. How is she Kris
Benjamin couldn't believe Chris was already suspecting the entire Winchester family only with a DNA test report.Noticing that Benjamin looked exasperated, Chris patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, investigate it. I guess the culprit is really in a panic now since they had tampered with the test report without even figuring out whose specimen it is."Benjamin's breathing was becoming unstable. Chris had no intention of wasting more time on him and left with a meaningful remark, "There'll always be surprises beneath a glorious exterior."Chris headed toward the elevator immediately after. As he entered the elevator, he didn't forget to call the security guards to forbid Benjamin from entering.Benjamin had no intention of seeking Kathryn at the Albert Group again. He could hardly breathe after Chris' words. His mind had gone blank.He was reluctant to believe someone had tampered with the test report, but he suddenly recalled what happened when he brought Kathryn's specimen bac
Krista walked toward Benjamin steadily. Her short, neat hair accentuated her unique and strong demeanor as an independent woman.Surveying the condition of Benjamin's car, she expressed regret, "This is indeed on me. Just tell me how much compensation you need and send me the bills when they're ready, Mr. Benjamin.""You …" Benjamin seethed at Krista's words. He was both astonished that she admitted fault and infuriated because it was clear she had done it deliberately.Before he could say anything, Krista added indifferently, "You don't have to apply for an insurance claim either. I could just compensate a new one for you."Benjamin was so angry that he could hardly get a word out. He believed that he would beat Krista up by now if she were a man, but unfortunately, she wasn't."You don't have to. The Winchesters can afford it.""Very impressive, Mr. Benjamin. I guess it's because the Winchesters could afford anything that you can act this recklessly and shamelessly, I see?"St
Benjamin had no idea that Susan had arrived at the Albert Group before him. She was already at the office at the moment.Susan snickered when she saw Kathryn, who had gone upstairs ahead. "I see you're very worried about your status, Mrs. Albert. "You've just given birth, but you've brought your baby with you here. Do you really think that Chris would truly belong to you by keeping an eye on him like that?"Kathryn was speechless. Her face instantly darkened. She handed the baby to the nanny, Olivia Stephensons, who was behind her, and said to Kelly, "Kelly, bring your little brother inside with Ms. Stephensons, okay?""Okay." Kelly nodded obediently.Olivia quickly took the children inside, noticing something was wrong with the situation.Tara, who was only a short distance away from them, stood up instantly and walked toward Kathryn upon hearing Susan's remarks. "Excuse me, miss. What are you doing?"It was obvious that Tara didn't recognize Susan. Susan had claimed that she
Chris frowned as Susan suddenly appeared before him. All of a sudden, he was exuding a cold air. Susan, undeterred, naturally took hold of Chris' arm and claimed, "Travis asked me to discuss something with you privately."Kathryn turned and saw Susan's deliberate behavior. Having been by Chris' side for an extended period, she was acutely aware of the level of familiarity Susan was attempting to project. She found Susan's shameless behavior infuriating, casting a cold glare in her direction.Chris was stunned by her actions and realized that Kathryn was infuriated. He immediately withdrew his hand from Susan's hold and said coldly, "I don't care what you want to say. I won't listen to it. Leave now."Unlike Susan's warm and friendly demeanor against him, he spoke with such a cold tone. Susan couldn't believe he would treat her with such rudeness, especially considering she was still the daughter of the Winchesters. The possibility of being with him seemed increasingly dis
