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
"Mom, you're awake. How do you feel? Do you feel any discomfort?"Kelly bombarded Jessica with a series of questions when she noticed Jessica was awake.Jessica's eyes glistened instantly as she heard Kelly choking on her tears. "Why are you crying? Don't cry, darling.""Mom!" Kelly's tears streamed down her face profusely.She had never seen Kelly cry like this.Kathryn saw what happened and quickly enveloped the little girl in a hug. "It's alright, Kelly. Everything is fine.""What happened to me?" Jessica saw that Kathryn was still there.Jessica was clueless as to how long she had been out for."You had a persistent high fever. Do you feel any discomfort?" Kathryn asked with concern."I feel weak," Jessica said frailly.Other than that, she didn't feel any other symptoms.To her, this frail feeling was undoubtedly the symptom of the common cold.Kathryn nodded. "You don't have to think about anything now. Get good sleep, will you?""Please take good care of Kelly for t
