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.

    Benjamin didn't spare his tone.The results he showed them stated Kathryn was Krista's daughter.The report he retrieved said otherwise. There was no room for error since Chris gave the sample to them.So, someone must have tampered with the results.Benjamin was befuddled.He lost his mood to think about anything else. What was the point of his persistence if Kathryn and Krista's DNA matched?Yet, there was a missing piece—who in the Winchester family tampered with the results?Wouldn't they wish to have their sister home safely?"Travis, I have a feeling that something is off. Chris must be hiding something from us!"Travis listened intently."He hesitated when he said Kathryn was Krista's daughter. Why would he hesitate if it was the truth?"Things were more complicated than it seemed.Yet, it didn't take long for Benjamin to piece the puzzle together.Chris' attitude indicated that Kathryn was somehow related to the Winchester family.Plus, the sample was from Kathryn

    Byron wanted to meet Markus at his office when he returned to the company in the afternoon. However, Markus was not around.He wanted to vent the anger he had held in for a long time. Yet, there was no outlet to do so.When Jonathan walked into his office, he could sense that something was off. "Did you look for me?"Byron asked, "Do you have the psychologist's number? The one that is treating Jessica's daughter.""I do." Jonathan nodded.They were the ones who arranged for the psychologist. They definitely had his number.It would make sense if he asked about Jessica. Now, he was concerned for her daughter too.What was going through his mind?Shouldn't he prioritize the piece of land in Flourean?He knew Markus was the reason the Johnson Group snatched the land away.Markus was away because he wanted to get that piece of land back.Getting it back wasn't a sure win. They knew handling Tally's tantrum was no easy feat.Byron massaged his aching temple. He said, "Check how

    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

    Kathryn was confused when Jessica suddenly shoved her into the car and promptly closed the door. With her hand still gripping the door handle, Kathryn looked up at Jessica and suggested, "Uh, how about dinner tonight?"Upon hearing Kathryn's dinner suggestion, Jessica paused before nodding and responding, "Let's talk about it later. 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. In that brief moment, Kathryn's heart skipped a beat as she saw Jessica walking alongside Lloyd. They were heading toward the glass doors of the building.Before Kathryn could double-check what she saw, the car had already turned.
