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
Chris could sense how overly concerned Kathryn was. He had no idea of what was going on. "It's not important. What do you need it for?"What could she ever need it for?She couldn't even afford the piece of land. Even if she did, the initial investment would have cost her a bomb. She would never use the land for anything.She coughed dryly and asked sheepishly, "Do you plan to sell it?"Chris finally understood what was going on.Kathryn must have been talking to Tally before she called him.Markus must have offended Tally greatly.Chris replied, "I have plans on selling it at a reasonable price."Kathryn was overjoyed upon hearing that Chris wanted to sell that piece of land.Tally must have already known that the Albert Group wanted to sell it off.If that was the case, Kathryn went straight to the point. "Tally said she wants that land. Name your price.""She wants it, huh?""Yeah, sell it to her if the price fits your desire."Kathryn had no say in the price. However,
Byron was unhappy, but he didn't say anything else.Chris reminded him before ending the call, "Let Markus handle this."He was blunt with Byron. He pointed out the root of the problem to Byron by asking him to let Markus handle it."Okay, thank you!" Byron thanked him.He didn't say anything else, nor could he blame Chris for this.Yet, Chris suggested Markus handle this. Could that bastard handle it?Byron doubted his capabilities. His mind was filled with past scenarios of Markus and Tally tearing each other to shreds.Both of them spoke a while more before ending the call.Then, Byron called Markus.Markus was in the company. He was still angry at what happened with Irina.His face darkened as Henry reported the Johnson Group's accounts to him.He answered Byron's call in frustration, "Hello.""Where are you?" Byron's cold voice resounded from the phone.Markus perked his eyebrow. "I'm at work. Why?""The Johnson Group asked Chris to sell them that piece of land in Fl
