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
Chris guessed it right.Markus was throwing a tantrum. He called Tally dozens of times from his office.When Tally didn't pick up, he went to the Johnson Group to find her but was out of luck.Henry followed behind him. The receptionist told them that Tally had left the Johnson Group an hour ago. Henry's heart was about to jump out of his chest.His tone tensed as he asked, "Was Ms. Mitchell with her?""Yes. Ms. Mitchell left with Ms. Johnson."They left together. Even a blind man knew what they were up to.Markus never expected Tally to act so fast.He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, a threatening look filled his eyes. He was about to rip Tally to shreds."Let's go to the Albert Group.""Okay!" Henry nodded as his back broke out in sweat.When Markus got into the car, Markus started calling Chris.Yet, his heart was stumped as Chris didn't answer any of his calls.The tension in the atmosphere was palpable in the car.He rushed to the Albert Group after dropp
Markus saw how relentlessly Tally stomped him down. He was practically a few feet under the ground by now.Markus' breath quickened. "Okay, just you wait, Tally! You won't be this ruthless any longer.Tally scowled and said nothing. Ruthless?She needed to be ruthless to someone like him.Tally developed this instinct over time—she had to be ruthless toward this man.Tally stared at Markus, who was at a loss for words in anger. She didn't want to entertain him anymore and left with Irina.When they exited the Albert Group, Irina tugged on Tally's sleeve. She looked confused. Tally stopped in her tracks and looked at her. "What's up?""I don't think you said it right earlier.""What do you mean?" Tally didn't understand.She said a lot of things to that bastard, Markus. Where did she misspoke?Irina coughed dryly. "A successful insult is to call the other person a bitch, not calling yourself a bitch."Tally was rendered speechless.Needless to say, Markus gained nothing fr
Concurrently, the word "wife" triggered Markus. He glared at Chris as he suppressed the rage in his heart.Men were different after they got married.Markus was livid but couldn't unleash it in front of Chris.Eventually, he left unwillingly.They exited the Albert Group. Henry followed behind him, terrified. "Are we letting this slide?"Letting it slide?This piece of land had always been considered in the Skyline Group's planning. Chris knew this fact, too.Plus, he didn't say he wouldn't sell it to the Skyline Group.So, Markus was certain the deal was sealed with Byron's visit.He never expected such a turn of events!They considered everything. Yet, they never considered that Chris' wife was Tally's best friend.They never thought Chris would spoil Kathryn this much."Hmph, let it slide!"Markus scoffed. Mockery riddled his tone.Henry's heart was practically at his throat when he heard his tone. What was the meaning of this?…Someone was more upset than Markus.
