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
Kathryn couldn't help but instinctively feel nervous when Savanna mentioned Wendy."Madam Boyle, I really appreciate it if you could find a match for my sister's transplantation. I'll try my best to fulfill your requirements, but please—""What do you think I'm going to do?" Savanna interrupted Kathryn before she could finish what she wanted to say. There was even a trace of agony in her tone.Did Kathryn believe she was going to involve Wendy again and cause harm?Yet, Savanna understood why she harbored such thoughts. After all, she was the mastermind behind many of the things Krista had done back then.Kathryn looked toward Savanna nervously. She was unable to utter even a word. Even though Savanna and Krista had been despicable, Kathryn couldn't complain about it now.Savanna felt a sense of bitterness in her heart as she noticed how Kathryn was trying to suppress her emotions. She asked, "Since Wendy Bohemin isn't your mother, have you ever considered finding your biologic
Savanna was extremely agitated throughout the entire conversation. In any case, she had always cared for her daughter, Krista, the most.Krista had been trying to find a way to reunite with her daughter. Yet, she seemed to have lost all her courage after accidentally overhearing what Kathryn had said.Her life had become a mess, and she had even lost her appetite. Savanna was worried as she observed how much weight Krista had lost. Yet, she also felt depressed as she sat before her granddaughter. Everything had happened because of her.Kathryn's face turned cold after Savanna told her the entire story. Kathryn felt as if her life had plunged into the abyss.......Chris had a meeting at the Albert Group that afternoon. Janet had been accompanying Kathyrn since yesterday.Tara approached Chris after he ended his meeting. "Mr. Albert, you might need to check on Mrs. Albert.""Did anything happen to Jessica?" Chris frowned, looking at Tara. Tara shook her head. "That's not
Kathryn found it hard to believe that someone like Krista was her mother.Chris knew Kathryn was afraid of Krista deep down, even though she seemed brave when she confronted her. After all, everyone in Harborlean knew how horrible Krista was."Just forget about it now, okay?" Chris ruffled Kathryn's hair.Kathryn's heart couldn't help but skip a beat upon hearing Chris' voice.Krista had once been so intent on wanting her dead. Kathryn had even witnessed the intense conflicts between Krista and Chris. She couldn't accept it at all when she learned that the woman who had nearly taken her life and tried to claim her husband's property was her mother."S-She …" Kathryn looked toward Chris, struggling to find her words."It's okay if you have no idea how to talk about it," Chris reassured her."I-Is she really my mother?" Kathryn choked back her tears as she looked at Chris, who was evidently aware of the situation."According to medical results, it does seem to be the case."Kath
Kathryn provided Chris with a detailed account when he inquired about what Savanna had said.Savanna informed her that she would visit the hospital with Krista to assess their eligibility as bone marrow donors for Jessica. She even requested Kathryn not to treat Krista indifferently when they met and, above all, not to say anything that might upset her.There was no doubt that Savanna was making a plea as she conveyed this information to Kathryn. It was a side of her Kathryn had never witnessed before, considering Savanna's usual arrogant and proud demeanor. Kathryn noted that Krista had also adopted a similar attitude from her mother.Observing Krista and Savanna's behavior during the years she spent by Chris' side, Kathryn likened them to robbers, relentlessly attempting to seize anything they desired, regardless of rightful ownership.It took Chris a lot of effort to reclaim both the Albert Group and the Baydem Group. Krista had behaved like a psychopath then. She had tried to
