"I-It's because of our sister."Benjamin hurriedly recounted the entire situation to Arthur. He had been so anxious that he had forgotten that Arthur could not suffer from any shocks.Arthur was already quite infuriated as Travis wanted to marry Evelyn. His chest was heaving with anger as Benjamin mentioned the DNA specimens."The specimens were being tampered with?""Yes. I told Grandma and Susan about it when I came back. But Ms. Lopez, grandma's maid, followed me when I sent the specimens for the DNA test. She had even secretly met Susan's driver."Arthur remained silent."I suspect they were the ones who had tampered with the specimens," Benjamin hurriedly added. He was really going to lose it. He couldn't understand what was wrong with the family.This single incident had utterly shattered his perception of the family over the years.Arthur looked toward Benjamin. Everything had happened too suddenly. What Benjamin had told him was even more shocking to him than Travis' ma
Kathryn hadn't noticed Benjamin's presence at first.They were at the hospital, after all. It had always been normal for ambulances to pick up and drop off patients at the hospital. Nobody would've paid much attention to it.Yet, she was momentarily stunned when she saw Benjamin. "You …"Chris had noticed Benjamin's presence as well. He lowered his gaze and coldly stared at Benjamin's hand, which was holding Kathryn's wrist at the moment."Kathryn, you have to come with me now." Benjamin was anxious.Kathryn couldn't understand what Benjamin had just said. Was something wrong with his mind? There was nothing between them at all. What did he mean by asking her to follow him at this moment?Kathryn's gaze fell upon the stretcher, which was already being pushed into the hospital. She wondered if Benjamin was trying to calm down his family member who was seriously ill. It was extremely ridiculous. Had Benjamin been pestering her not only because of Susan but also for his own fami
Chris knew exactly what Kathryn was thinking. "Why should I believe him?""Okay, then." Kathryn was still anxious.She still had to worry about Jessica's matter. She'd probably kill herself if Benjamin kept pestering her.…The Winchesters weren't the only ones who were in a mess at the moment. Markus was extremely perturbed as well.He had stubbornly waited for Tally at Johnson Group for the entire day, but Tally hadn't returned to the company at all. Henry had also just reported to him that Tally had taken the 2:00 pm flight to Montiwood with Victor.Markus couldn't believe that Tally had gone to Montiwood with Victor. She had already gone to Yonder Canyon with him last time.Henry looked at Markus, slightly frightened. "I guess Ms. Johnson is determined not to return the piece of land to us."They had been trying every way to contact Tally ever since the transfer of ownership was completed. Her phone was unreachable. She was nowhere to be found as well.It was clear what he
Tally was troubled when she noticed Victor only wore a black shirt underneath."Aren't you cold?""Men normally have higher body temperatures. Let's go." Victor was actually feeling cold as well.Montiwood was located close to the snowy mountain areas. There was a significant temperature difference between day and night. It could even achieve a sub-zero temperature at night.Tally quickened her pace to keep up with Victor. She couldn't help but rub her cold hands together as she got into the car. She mumbled, "Why on Earth did you come here?"Victor glanced at her and pinched her reddened nose affectionately. "Make a guess.""I can't figure it out."It was impossible for Tally to figure out what a person like Victor would do in such a desolate place. Yet, she had to admit that quite a number of people had visited Montiwood even though the tourist season had ended. Their flight was fully booked just now.However, Tally thought that Victor didn't seem like someone who would enj
Couldn't she just reject him right away? Tally didn't think that it was appropriate.After all, she had begged him for help back then. It would be ridiculous for her to reject him now.Yet, agreeing to his request didn't seem right now either.Tally had always believed that her relationship with Victor was only based on their agreement. She had helped him stop the Glenns from urging him to get married, while Victor helped her settle the threat she received from Chris.However, Victor was telling her to forget about the agreement and was asking her if she wanted to start dating seriously now.Tally couldn't really react to what was going on.Victor softly chuckled when he noticed how silly Tally looked. "You're not oblivious to Markus' feelings for you, are you?"Tally was furious. Why did Victor suddenly have to mention Markus in a situation like this? She was instantly sullen.Victor chuckled again when he saw how Tally's face had fallen. "He's a nasty person indeed, but that
Markus was irritated as well."Is there anything else? I'm going to leave now if there's nothing else." He was reluctant to say anything more. He was extremely furious by just thinking about how Tally had followed Victor to Montiwood alone."I don't think you should go," Byron said."Byron!""I would have chosen Victor as well, if I were a woman."Markus was speechless. He was already in a bad mood. His face completely darkened when he heard what Byron had just said.He wondered if he was really his brother. He couldn't believe what he had just said. Did Byron have no idea what kind of a person Victor was?Byron met Markus' dark gaze and immediately understood his thoughts. He sneered, "Look at what you've done ever since you returned from Fernland. Look at what Victor had done as well."Being of sound mind, obviously she didn't choose you."An observer like Byron was very aware of what was going on. Yet, Markus was infuriated. "What have I done? I've arranged a team of sp
Markus not only failed to help the company, but he also caused a lot of trouble for Byron.Byron was basically busy dealing with the trouble Markus had gotten into. The piece of land in Flourean was even being snatched away by Johnson Group because of him.They had no idea what price had to be paid for them to reclaim the land.Jonathan realized that Markus had only learned to deal with business and management after working at Albert Group for many years. He hadn't learned how to interact and deal with people properly at all.What should they do now? Jonathan wondered if Markus had to learn a lesson before returning to Skyline Group.…Night at Montiwood was extremely cold. Yet, the scenery was also uniquely fascinating in the mornings.Tally had woken up because of the sound of the wind. She stood in front of the windows of the wooden house. The snowy mountains a short distance from them could be seen.She recollected what Victor had told her last night. He refused to ask her
Tally sniffled. "I-It's okay. I'll just have some instant noodles."She had actually traveled to Montiwood before. She was certain that she shouldn't try the pasta here."Instant noodles are so unhealthy. I should have someone to make you some pasta instead."Noticing that Victor also had no idea about it, she nodded indecisively. "Alright, then."Victor left the room to inform the innkeeper about it after Tally nodded. The innkeeper was very friendly, promising to make the pasta immediately.Yet, the pasta wasn't even ready even after they had waited for almost an hour.Victor wasn't accustomed to the cornbread and tea, so he also stopped eating after informing the innkeeper to make some pasta for them.Noticing that the pasta wasn't ready after such a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "Why is he taking so long? I should go and check."Tally remained silent. She recollected that it truly required a great amount of time for people to cook here.Victor had just gone downstai
