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
The stairs were also narrow. Tally was leading the way, with Victor following closely behind her.She had just taken another step when the ice beneath her feet slipped, causing her to slide forward directly because of it.Tally was so frightened that she screamed out of fright. She would've fallen down the stairs if it wasn't for Victor's quick reaction.Tally took a deep breath when Victor held her tight. She tried to keep her feet steady by grabbing the railing. It was then that she suddenly noticed that something was wrong.She lowered her gaze and saw Victor's broad palm around her chest. She blushed. She had the urge to scream loudly at the moment.Victor didn't realize how awkward her situation was. He immediately helped steady her. "Watch out."Tally was still in shock. Victor held her by her hand before she could even react. Her hands were noticeably cold as she was completely frozen in fear. A strange feeling rose in her heart as her hands were being wrapped in Victor'
Chris paused. "That's quicker than I thought."He had to admit that although Markus had been doing many ridiculous things lately, he was still quite reliable. Moreover, Tara was capable. She was able to investigate what had happened five years ago.Tara nodded. "Lance and Brian had intervened. It took them a lot of effort to restore the footage. Even though only the person's side profile and back are visible, the person looked quite familiar to me."Chris nodded after listening to what Tara had said. "Just confirm it as soon as possible.""Alright." It wouldn't be complicated for Tara to find out about it. She only needed a few days.… Jonathan could apparently feel the menacing air his boss was exuding as he followed behind Byron. He wondered what had happened again."Sir, your phone has been ringing constantly." Jonathan couldn't help but remind Byron about it as he noticed that his phone had been ringing for a long time.Byron raised his brows. He took out his phone to chec
Jessica didn't say anything more and sank into silence. There was a trace of bitterness in Kathryn's heart as she noticed how Jessica looked."Kathryn, there's something else I need your help with." Jessica eventually broke the silence."Sure." Kathryn would no doubt agree to whatever Jessica asked.Jessica sighed. "Because of me, Kelly can't even enroll at school properly now …"Jessica's voice started to choke up as she attempted to talk about it with Kathryn. Nobody knew how she felt whenever she recollected how Kelly was being bullied at school because of what had happened.Even though the Quintons weren't wealthy and were quite poor when she was still together with Matthew, Jessica had always believed that she was a good wife, mother, and daughter-in-law.She had always done her best to take care of the household. She had also taken care of Kelly very well. Yet, she wasn't able to treat herself well enough.She had failed to protect herself. She wasn't even aware that such
Savanna and Krista were surprised to discover that Jessica had fallen sick.There was no doubt that they knew how Jessica had taken care of Kathryn since she was young as they investigated what had happened in Everburns Highlands back then.Krista was anxious, knowing that Kathryn would be worried about Jessica's condition since she was ill. Yet, she didn't have the courage to find her as she remembered how much Kathryn despised her. That was why Savanna had come to find Kathryn instead.Kathryn's heart skipped a beat when Savanna told her that she had come for Jessica's transplantation. Kathryn reacted instinctively before she could think much about it, immediately grabbing Savanna by her hand. "D-Do you mean you'll find a match for my sister's transplantation?" Kathryn at her in disbelief. She recollected how frightening Krista and Savanna had been. She was surprised when Savanna intended to talk about Jessica's transplantation with her. Yet, she was also very afraid about i
