The moment Susan stood up from her seat, Krista said coldly, "I know what your situation with the Winchesters is, but Chris isn't someone you should wish for. "You should give up. I won't speak to you so kindly next time."Krista didn't continue to attack Susan with harsh words, but the threat in her tone was already obvious enough.Susan's face had drained of all its color. She dared not to say anything else and left right away. After all, what could she possibly say to that? Krista would never harm her own daughter to help Susan. Susan realized that this was why she had been so nice to Chris recently. After she left Krista's villa, she didn't return home. Instead, she immediately drove toward Albert Group.…Meanwhile, back at the villa, Savanna looked at Krista. "Why did you …"There was no doubt that she disapproved of Krista revealing her relationship with Kathryn to an outsider.Even though Krista's relationship with Kathryn wasn't known in Harborlean yet, Savanna bel
Kathryn still couldn't get over it when she returned to Sunshine Bay.Tally also called her, telling her that she had sent her a lot of photos that she had taken in Montiwood. She even said that it was Kathryn's loss for not going there with her. Chris' face completely darkened when he heard what Tally and Kathryn were talking about on the phone. He was irritated when he noticed that Kathryn's mood had significantly improved when she answered Tally's call."When are you coming back, then?" Kathryn asked. She was trying to suppress the emotions in her tone. Yet Tally still noticed that something was wrong. "What happened? Did you cry?""I didn't.""What are you talking about? I can literally hear it in your voice. Why did you cry? Is it because Jessica's condition has worsened? Or did Chris do something to you?" Tally immediately listed out the possible reasons that she thought could make Kathryn cry."That's not it.""Who is it, then? Is his mother giving you a hard time ag
"H-He knows.""What did he say?" Tally's heart was in her mouth when she heard that Chris knew that Krista was Kathryn's mother.It was such a nightmare.She truly wished that Krista wouldn't ruin Kathryn's life. It hadn't been easy for Kathryn to finally settle down.Even though she knew that Krista had a lot of properties, Tally wasn't interested in that. She was certain that Kathryn shouldn't give up on her position as the young mistress of the Albert family and accept her despicable mother instead."He found out about it before I gave birth to the baby," Kathryn said.Tally was relieved when Kathryn told her that Chris had known it before she had given birth to the baby. After all, Chris had been quite nice to Kathryn during the period, which meant that he hadn't involved Kathryn in his dispute with Krista at all."Forget about it, then. Forget about that woman as well."Tally thought that Kathryn didn't have to worry about anything as long as her husband and baby were st
Tally couldn't figure out whether Kathryn was the Winchesters' daughter or Krista's daughter.She wondered if it was possible that Krista was related to the Winchesters. She couldn't figure out any other reason why both DNA tests had shown the same results."In any case, it's a very complicated matter," Victor said.It was so complicated that Tally had a headache just thinking about it."Does my Kat know about the matter regarding the Winchesters, then?" Tally asked.Victor gave Tally a meaningful glance when he heard how Tally had referred to Kathryn. He obviously looked troubled by it.What did Tally mean by "my Kat"? Kathryn was Chris' wife, after all.Victor noticed that Tally hadn't learned her lesson yet. It seemed that she wasn't really affected by what Chris had done to her before. He coughed and said, "I think I have to remind you of a very serious issue.""What issue?""'Your Kat' is now Mrs. Albert. The consequences will be very serious if Chris gets jealous."Ta
Only one thought came to Susan's mind. "I'm screwed!"The words "evaluation center" kept ringing in her head.Her father knew about it. Her brother, Benjamin, knew about it too. Susan wondered whether this was why Benjamin's attitude toward her had changed.Maybe he had long known that she had tampered with the sample he had brought home.Susan's lips were pale. She looked at Arthur sadly. "Why are you asking my driver to come, Dad? To confront me? If you have anything to say, say it to my face! I won't lie to you. I'm upset at your distrust toward me.""Will you tell me the truth if I ask you?""When have I ever lied to you?" The pain was evident on Susan's face. She played the part of the victim.Arthur felt terrible as he looked at how pitiful she was. She was the apple of his eye—his obedient and docile daughter.He hoped nothing Benjamin had said was true!However, he had to clear things up.Carrying the identity of an adoptive daughter was often a sensitive topic. His r
As Susan and her driver exchanged glances, Susan's heart was about to leap out of her chest. "You can't trust what he says, Benjamin, Dad.""Explain yourself!" Benjamin scolded the driver coldly."Mrs. Winchester Senior and Ms. Winchester came looking for me," the driver said.Benjamin and Arthur were rendered speechless.The driver had explicitly mentioned that Emma and Susan had gone looking for him. Benjamin and Arthur exchanged glances. Arthur felt his heart palpitating wildly. He thought about the possibility of Susan using the people around Emma to involve Emma in this.Yet, both Susan and Emma had gone to this driver. It meant that both of them had had a hand in this.Benjamin and Arthur could understand why Susan didn't want them to find the real Winchester daughter.But they were perplexed by Emma's intentions."Dad!"Arthur frailly grabbed onto the table. At that moment, Susan instinctively wanted to head toward him.Yet Arthur beckoned her away. "Don't come nea
Before he could explain himself, Emma continued harshly, "You've spent years looking for this daughter like she was a treasure. She is nothing but a bastard child. We don't even know who her mother is.""Enough!"Arthur was utterly triggered by what Emma said. He looked at Emma ferociously. "She's already dead. Can't you let her rest in peace?""She's dead? She deserved it. Death doesn't erase the sins she had committed.""I've said it before. That child is mine. She is innocent!" Arthur had never been so stubborn before. His behavior now showed the pain he had been burdened with for many years.Every time he thought about it, pain, self-blame, and guilt consumed him.Benjamin felt uneasy all over. He looked at Arthur, then glanced at Emma. Something in the depths of his heart completely shattered.Arthur spoke up before Emma could say anything else. "If you're sure that the child isn't mine, why did you switch the samples?"Upon hearing that, Benjamin looked at Emma. His eyes
When Benjamin had found out the samples had been tampered with, he had immediately thought of Susan. He might not have seen how overjoyed Emma was. Yet he didn't believe Emma would tamper with the samples.It was her actual granddaughter, for crying out loud!However, Benjamin couldn't believe the words that had come out of Emma's mouth tonight. …Benjamin arrived at Island Bay an hour later. Evelyn was a great cook and had prepared supper. Benjamin could smell the aroma of the delicious food the moment he walked in.However, it was a shame that he had lost his appetite.When Evelyn saw him, she got up elegantly and addressed him gently, "Benjamin."Evelyn was someone Travis had gotten through "special" means.Benjamin had assumed she was promiscuous and of low standards. Yet, she was nothing like that. She had a gentle face. Her eyes were calm, without a hint of lust. From one glance, Benjamin understood why Travis had married her.She had something he wanted."I though
