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
Susan seethed with anger at Tara's nonchalant and arrogant demeanor. With a disdainful sneer, she stomped her feet before making her exit, her mind already scheming on how to exact retribution.Meanwhile, Tara fumed as she watched Susan leave. Resentment lingered over the encounter with what she deemed a morning encounter with a psychopath. She silently wished for a trouble-free day ahead, finding the entire incident thoroughly vexing.…A satisfied smile adorned Krista's lips as she stood in the basement, observing Benjamin drive away with his damaged car. She promptly pulled out her phone and dialed Susan's number.Susan was currently in the elevator at the moment. She scoffed with disdain upon seeing Krista's incoming call. She didn't sound friendly like before when she answered the call. There was even a trace of sarcasm in her tone. "Hello, Madam Preston."She wasn't polite to Krista anymore. There was no doubt that she was aware that she was unable to benefit from Krist
The arranged marriage between the Winchesters and the Alberts had always been dealt with by Krista back then. Chris had never met Susan in person at all.He was also baffled by Susan's sudden visit to the Albert Group today.Kathryn sneered. She was still reluctant to talk to him. Even though she knew there was nothing between Susan and Chris, she remembered how Susan held Chris by his arm just now.She was irritated by it.Chris cupped her face in his hands. "Are you really angry?"He was astonished that Kathryn dared to behave like that in front of him now. She would even become furious because of other women. Even though he felt wronged, he was surprisingly delighted by it. He planted a kiss on her lips. "Stop being angry, okay? There's nothing between me and her.""But she was so close to you. It's annoying," Kathryn mumbled.Chris laughed when he realized she was speaking frankly about her anger. He nodded. "I know. I'm angry about it as well. I didn't even know her. Ye
Kathryn was familiar with Byron, but whenever his name came up, thoughts of Markus couldn't help but intrude. She vividly remembered Markus' unpleasant demeanor during his time at the Albert Group. She and Tally had even fought because of him. Kathryn felt annoyed that the repercussions of Markus' behavior hadn't concluded.Yet, Kathryn was puzzled by Byron's visit. She asked, "What did he come for?"Tara shook her head. "I'm not sure about it, but he's currently at the office, discussing something with Mr. Albert."Kathryn nodded. "Okay."Since Byron and Chris were discussing something, Kathryn thought she shouldn't disturb them for the time being.She was still worried about Jessica. She instructed Olivia to take care of the baby before leaving for the hospital with Kelly.While on the way, Kathryn received a call from Tally, who complained about Markus' despicable behavior. Tally informed Kathryn that Markus had threatened to sue her, but she intended to counter-sue him.
Needless to say, Irina was no stranger to the type of men while in Victor's service.However, Markus was the first she had seen with such a terrible attitude. She was utterly speechless.Tally's head was throbbing. "How are our financial records looking?""There is nothing out of the ordinary after a thorough check."Tally felt assured after hearing this. Yet, she was curious about the look on Markus' face when he received this news.Irina wasn't worried about the company either."Mr. Glenn had arranged everything. We don't need to worry about this anymore.""You can say this, but it's better to be safe than sorry." Markus was no different from a mad dog.Tally went to Irina and put her arm around her shoulder. "Okay, don't be angry. You shouldn't waste your energy on someone like that.""I'm not angry. I just feel that this old man has more bark than bite."Tally was rendered speechless. Did Irina just call Markus an old man?Tally instinctively touched her face as she hear
