A threatening glint grew in Markus' eyes under Irina's mocking tone.The look he gave Irina was as sharp as a razor.Irina didn't have a trace of fear in her. She signed the documents in her hands without batting an eye at Markus.Her words didn't fail to trigger Markus again and again. "It goes without saying that Ms. Johnson is very likable. No wonder Mr. Glenn likes her so much. If I were a man, I would want to marry her.""Huh? Do you want to marry her? Do you even have what a man has?"Irina was rendered speechless.It was a sarcastic remark. Yet, it sent goosebumps down Irina's back.She could never be as vile as this man. What did he mean by asking whether she had what a man had?He was disgusting for saying something like that to a woman.God had wasted his time creating him to walk on this earth.Irina scoffed, "If I had what a man has, even Mr. Glenn wouldn't have a chance, let alone you. Plus, with your emotional maturity, you'll never get Ms. Johnson. Or better ye
"Tell me, did Chris mistreat you? I'll give him a piece of my mind!" Tally panicked and started to snap.She had completely forgotten how Chris scared the life out of her and how it caused Markus' pesky issue.In short, she didn't have much self-control when it came to Kathryn."Tally," Kathryn said, her voice hitching.Tally was outraged. "It was Chris, huh? Let me find him now!""No!""Was it the Alberts? Or the Winchesters?" She heard rumors that the Winchesters were up to something.Plus, Franco and Arthur had been in touch with each other secretly.Although this piece of news was kept under wraps, it wasn't difficult for someone in her position to get a whiff of such information.What was wrong with the brains of these people?Had the world run out of good men? Why did Susan have to marry Chris and no one else?Tally became livid as she thought about it.She was so angry that she rejected working with the Winchesters on a business project.She didn't want to work with
She would drive away her bullies using the most domineering way possible. Then, she would bring her to the cafeteria for a good meal.Those pitiful eyes quickly turned happy.Now, Tally couldn't bear to see the tears that welled up in Kathryn's eyes. "There's no better way to say this. You're worried for her daughter if she dies, aren't you? You don't have to worry about this. I can afford to take care of you, so I'll do the same for her. Don't be sad anymore.""Tally!""Okay, okay. What's the big deal that makes you cry like this, huh?"Tally was willing to say anything as long as Kathryn stopped crying.Sure enough, Kathryn stopped crying after Tally comforted her in such a blunt way."No, Jessica can't die. She should nurture Kelly herself.""Okay, okay. Let her nurture her once she gets better. Is she in need of money for her medical bills? I'll pay."Tally patted her chest, showing a sense of arrogance that said "I've got this covered".After she said that, they saw Chri
What was going on?She ended Irina's call and called Victor straightaway.Victor didn't take long to answer. Before she could say anything, Victor started the conversation. "You called me just as I was about to call you.""Where are you? Do you want to have lunch together?"Tally asked directly since she heard Victor was about to call her. She couldn't go back to the company, so she had to keep herself occupied. Or else, she would be thinking about how to shred Markus to pieces the entire day.Yet, Victor, who had never rejected her, said, "Since you want to have lunch with me, do you want to fly to Montiwood with me?""Are you planning a trip to Montiwood? What are you going to do there?" Tally was shocked.She had heard about Montiwood. It was a famously scenic spot.However, the place was in the middle of nowhere. It was only accessible on foot.Anyone who spent their vacation there would return with a newfound respect and awe for nature.Victor appreciated the vibrant s
Kathryn said, "But I…""Just take it. Why are you going back and forth with me on this? Call me if he mistreats you!"Tally was worried about her.Now, she looked at how Kathryn was crying and grew more concerned.When Chris came out, he saw Tally shoving the card into Kathryn's hand. His face darkened.Kathryn had some money with her. She wouldn't want to accept Tally's money."This is not necessary. I have money.""Take it even if you have money. Your sister is ill. You need more money now."Tara stood behind Chris. She could sense the coldness from Chris' body.Regardless, she was envious of how Kathryn had a best friend who had her back.She would do anything to have a best friend like that.But, she could sense her boss' threatening vibe growing. She had to dissolve the situation."Cough! Cough!"Tally looked up.Her face froze when she saw Chris.The next moment, she shoved the card into Kathryn's hand. "I-I have to take off now.""I don't need …"Tally scurried
If she hadn't fallen sick, she probably wouldn't have been so determined to find this man.Chris looked at Kathryn and said, "Is your sister the daughter of that woman from Everburns Highlands?""No!" Kathryn shook her head.Luckily, Wendy wasn't Jessica's mother. The thought of being pestered by someone like that for the rest of her life was terrifying.However, Chris frowned at the answer."Then, this might give us some trouble.""Why?"Kathryn's heart was stuck in her throat when she heard the word "trouble".Chris said, "You are not related to her by blood. That means she has no other relatives other than her daughter. Am I right?""Yeah!"Kathryn nodded, her heart tightening.This was the case.Chris added, "It's common for patients with leukemia to undergo a bone marrow transplant. Blood relatives have a higher chance of being a match."Jessica only had Kelly, who was related to her by blood. Finding a match for a bone marrow transplant might not be that easy.Chris
Chris saw the sudden reluctance from Kathryn. "Do you not wish to find them?""I don't!""Why?"Chris had never asked this question before. Now, he decided to bring it up.He wanted to know what Kathryn thought about her parents.However, Kathryn started breathing heavily when she was asked why.She took a sip of her orange juice again. Then, she said, "It's better not to care. I've already reached this age."When I needed my parents the most, I had no idea where they were. I don't need them anymore now."However, Kathryn had left something out.The days she'd spent living with her grandmother were filled with despair. During those times, she hated her parents.The hatred and resentment she harbored for many years had taken root in her heart.Now, when she heard about them, her heart would instinctively reject their existence.Krista and Savanna heard the last part of what Kathryn said when they entered the restaurant.Her last sentence wounded Krista's and Savanna's heart
Krista shrieked. Kathryn hated her so much right now. There was no way she would acknowledge her as a mother.When Kathryn saw Krista going mad, she grimaced. She looked at Chris and asked, "What's wrong with her?""Nothing. Let's go!" Chris shook his head. He took Kathryn's hand and walked toward the parking lot.Kathryn had never seen Krista like this. Wait, she was the same way at the company last time. For some reason, she went insane.After getting into the car, Kathryn looked at Chris in confusion. "Does your father have someone new living in the manor?"Honestly, Kathryn didn't know how to feel about Franco as her father-in-law. She wasn't one to judge people, but she felt repulsed by her father-in-law.First, he was with Chris' mother, then Krista. And now, he was with Marigold. Basically, his life was a mess, and it was disgusting.Chris raised an eyebrow. "Where did you hear that?"Kathryn muttered, "I heard it when I bought some tea."No one from Sunshine Bay or the
