Krista came to the company, furious.

When she closed the door of the office, her fuming rage could burn the whole office down.

She glared at Kathryn. It was as if she wanted to swallow Kathryn alive.

Kathryn didn't say a word. Krista's glare was enough to make her body shudder.

Chris frowned. He pinched Kathryn's cold hands. "Go back to the lounge."

"Okay." Kathryn nodded.

She was clueless as to what was going on. One thing was for sure—Krista had lost her mind.

Kathryn had no reason to confront such madness. Yet, when she got up, Krista scoffed coldly. "Why are you avoiding me? You lied to me. Now, you're scared, huh?"

"When did I lie to you?" Kathryn was getting angry.

The look in Krista's eyes might have been terrifying, but as timid as Kathryn was back then, she wasn't scared of glares from someone like Krista.

After all, Kathryn was a bystander. She had never been afraid of anyone.

Now that Krista was accusing her of lying, Kathryn felt wronged. She had been clueless ab

    The atmosphere in the office became tense. Krista was outraged, while Kathryn was brewing with anger. Krista declared, "I will give you three days to transfer the Baydem Group and its shares to my name." Every word was said with increased intensity. Then, she got up and looked at Kathryn dangerously. Her gaze was like a leopard watching its prey, ready to break the neck of its prey at any time. Kathryn faced Krista's viciousness and fearlessly stared her down. Krista saw how fearless Kathryn was and scoffed. "You are nothing more than a country bumpkin. You won't be this proud for long."Kathryn was rendered speechless. Krista had a sharp tongue. It was hard for one to change. She was a completely different person as she turned her back on Kathryn. However, as Chris heard how Krista insulted Kathryn, the dangerous glint in his eyes intensified.Before Kathryn could retort, Chris said, "Kat, go back to the lounge.""She …""Please listen to me. Go," he coaxed gently.

    Tally's head throbbed as she ended the call.She was in the car with Victor. She observed the Winchester family's chaos and the consequences of dragging Kathryn into this."I can't believe this. Don't you think the Winchesters are crazy? Why do they have to make Krista tear Kathryn apart instead of leaving her alone?"Victor's face sank.Tally didn't understand. "What is Kathryn supposed to do now? Maybe I should send her overseas."She said it so naturally.No matter what happened, her first thought was to prioritize protecting Kathryn. She had forgotten—she had to answer to someone else now.She couldn't recall when protecting Kathryn's safety became a habit for her.Victor's eye twitched when he heard her. "Send her overseas? You?"His doubtful tone was laced with other emotions.Tally replied, "I'm also afraid of that woman, Krista."Victor couldn't help but say, "I can't believe you would be scared too."Tally was at a loss for words. She finally realized something w

    "Are you back in Harborlean?"Markus was gritting his teeth as his voice came through the phone.Tally was at a loss for words.She had a lot on her plate. And when she heard Markus's voice, she was about to go crazy. She gritted her teeth. "And how is this your business?""Why didn't you tell me that you are back in Harborlean? You are with him again, aren't you? Have you lost your mind, Tally? Even for this trip to Montiwood, how could you …"Before Markus could finish, Tally hung up on him.The car was awkwardly quiet.Victor perked his eyebrow. "Did Markus call?"Tally answered, "Ignore him."Tally could never comprehend why Markus turned out this way.She used to think he was a decent person at the Albert Group, but now, he turned into a completely different person, someone she barely recognized.Tally was certain his parents could barely recognize him, too. Chris had nurtured him for so many years. He must have been depressed about how Markus turned out.…Kathryn

    Everything was in utter chaos.No one was sure how Krista, the Winchesters, and Kathryn were related to one another.Chris asked Tara to investigate the matter. However, everything happened many years ago.Tara had looked into Krista's late ex-husband, but things were not as simple as it seemed.Kathryn spent the entire time rearranging her thoughts, but to no avail.Feeling lost, she looked at Chris. "Then, why is Krista picking a bone with me? We don't even know what is going on yet."Chris answered, "She knows the results between you and the Winchesters. So, she was skeptical about the results she had with you."Kathryn nodded. She finally understood a bit of the entire situation."So, she is skeptical about my relationship with her because of my positive DNA match with the Winchesters."After all, Krista and the Winchesters had never been on good terms. So, it was expected they would pull some tricks.This was getting out of hand."So, I have a positive DNA match with Kr

    He squeezed Kathryn's cold hand and said, "Don't worry about the bone marrow. I've gotten help looking for one.""But it won't be easy to find one," Kathryn said painfully. Chris pursed his thin lips and didn't respond. Finding a suitable bone marrow was difficult, but he had to find one. …Everyone in Harborlean saw the groundbreaking news regarding the Winchesters. They were shocked. Wealthy families were always known to be complicated. Now, everyone had witnessed the chaos with their own eyes. Compared to the Winchesters' drama, a mistress using a child to ask for repayment was merely child's play. After Krista's crazy tantrum, Kathryn was most concerned about Jessica's bone marrow. When she arrived at the hospital the next day, Jessica looked at her. Her eyes were bright as she smiled lightly.Kathryn's throat tightened at the sight of it. "Jessica," she called out.At this moment, Kathryn finally understood the feeling of reaching the end of one's life. Jessica

    However, before the doctor finished, Krista interrupted him. "How about another million? I remember your two kids are about to study overseas. The schools they selected aren't cheap."Each word was toying with the weakness of humanity.The office became dead silent.Kathryn didn't think Krista would be so insane. Not only did she want to make Kathryn's life miserable, she wanted Jessica dead.The doctor trembled as he adjusted the glasses resting on his nose. He was about to reprimand Krista to take the money back.Then, the office door swung open suddenly.Kathryn went forward with anger written on her face. Without waiting for both of them to respond, she lifted the box of money and poured the contents on Krista's head.Bank notes were scattered everywhere in the office. It was a sight.The tension in the air was palpable.Kathryn shouted at her angrily, "Krista, how can you be so vicious?""Vicious? You scammed the Baydem Group and my shares from me. You don't have the rig

    Yet, Kathryn couldn't care less and shrugged. "Call the cops? Sure. Then, let the cops take a good look at how you bribed my sister's doctor and tried to end her life."Krista's heart sank even deeper.She was furious, and her body began to tremble. She gnashed her teeth. "Pot calling the kettle black! You lied to me first.""This place scattered with banknotes is proof. How am I wrongly accusing you? Plus, I've never explicitly admitted that I'm your daughter. Never have I once called you Mom either."It didn't matter what Krista said. Kathryn managed to find a way to shut her up.However, Krista noticed more people were crowding around them. Unresigned, she got up from the ground.Before she left, she told Kathryn, "This is not the last of it.""Don't you want your money anymore?" Kathryn stared at Krista's back and mocked.Krista froze. She closed her eyes for a brief moment before leaving.Jessica's doctor looked at Kathryn. "What should we do now, Mrs. Albert?""I will t

    Krista returned to the villa in a fit of rage.Savanna lay on the sofa, pale-faced. A cold compress rested on her forehead. She was sick.It went without saying why she was sick.Savanna was the first to know who Kathryn was. From then on, she had assumed Kathryn was her granddaughter.Who could tell her how things had turned out the way they did?"That stupid bitch pissed me off," Krista growled fiercely.At this moment, she couldn't be bothered that Savanna was unwell. She couldn't hold her temper in at all.Savanna looked at her as she breathed unevenly.When she saw how disheveled Krista was, she sighed. "Did you go and find her?""I will not let them get away with it," Krista answered fiercely.Savanna could sense what Krista had been up to today after hearing that.She wanted to advise Krista. However, she thought Krista was too angry to listen to anything. So, she swallowed her words.As Savanna thought, Krista was hot under the collar and couldn't control her temper

He looked like he wanted to eat me alive." Tally couldn't help but laugh.Victor reached for her hand as they sat down on the couch together. "Were you scared?" he asked.As Tally sat down, she casually looked back and noticed a framed photograph on Victor's desk.Out of curiosity, she picked it up and examined it. But with just one glance, she froze in surprise."When... when was this taken?" she asked. Her shock was evident as she turned to Victor.The picture was taken back when they were at Beverly Peak, during his hospital stay after being bitten by a wolf.She remembered looking after him until she herself fell asleep.In the picture, her eyes were closed, her expression peaceful.Victor

    What made it even more absurd was that Elijah bought into it, too.Tally couldn't believe Elijah couldn't see through Markus' façade. He actually bought into Markus' excuse that his behavior was all because of her.And now he was acting like he'd rather die than leave her."Fucking hell," Tally muttered inwardly. She wondered who came up with this messed-up plan for Markus.Clearly, Tally couldn't quite grasp how Markus' mental state could deteriorate like this. However, given his history of going insane, this outrageous plan didn't seem entirely implausible.He was perfectly fine when he was with Albert Group, so how did he end up like this back at Skyline Group?Tally just couldn't figure it out.Elijah shot her a sharp look, gritting his teeth as he said, "You, leave!"Zane hesitated, saying, "Sir, but…""Just let her leave!" Elijah insisted.Elijah's words were punctuated by short, hurried breaths.Tally nodded, saying, "Mr. Hunt Senior, you're indeed the more rational o

    Elijah and Zane glanced at each other. Then, their stares turned sharper as they both fixed their eyes on Tally.Tally swallowed nervously. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?""You're not even married to Victor, so why are you calling yourself a married woman?" Elijah snapped, his anger evident.Tally remained silent.Observing Elijah's furious expression, she nonchalantly rummaged through her bag, retrieving the marriage certificate and wedding invitation.Then, she handed them over to Zane.Zane took the documents and swiftly flipped them open. His eyes widened in disbelief as he read through them.He promptly handed both documents over to Elijah.As Elijah took them and examined them, his expression darkened significantly upon seeing Tally and Victor's marriage certificate.He was shocked when he saw that their wedding date was today, along with the printed timestamp.In that instant, Elijah's breathing grew heavier.He glared at Tally with an

    Tally was completely baffled by what was happening."I've been straightforward about my feelings for him," Tally complained under her breath.From her perspective, if something were to happen to Markus now, she shouldn't be blamed solely for her decision to get married. Victor nodded, saying, "Yeah, I know."Victor had always been aware of this. By now, Markus had become such a puzzle that Victor couldn't quite figure him out.Considering how clear Tally had always been about her feelings toward Markus, it was puzzling how he got himself involved in this mess.This time, Victor didn't accompany Tally to the Hunt Residence. He believed she could handle the Hunt family on her own.The atmosphere at the Hunt residence was incredibly tense at the moment.The moment Tally stepped inside, she could practically feel the frost coming off Elijah. His gaze seemed to pierce right through her.Zane's tone was far from pleasant as he said, "Um, take a look at this."With that, he passed

    Tally was pretty happy a moment ago. But now, she was all worked up talking about the Hunts.Earlier on the road, Tally filled Victor in on the phone call she received from the Hunt residence.Victor's lips twitched as he heard the news. "So Markus left a suicide note and vanished?""Exactly. Can you believe the trouble he's stirring up now?" Tally shook her head incredulously.Tally was utterly exasperated with Markus by now. It had been a while since this whole thing started.She had to admit, these days had been incredibly "fulfilling" for her. It was so fulfilling that it almost left her reeling.And it wasn't just Tally struggling to keep up. Even Victor had been taken aback by how things were unfolding.He shot Tally a look of disbelief. "So you're going to the Hunt residence now?""Yeah, I'm going. I want those Hunts to know that I'm officially yours. Let's see if they have more shameless tricks up their sleeves."When it came to describing the Hunts, Tally summed it up

    Tally was beginning to see where Markus got his persistent nature from. It ran in the family. It was as the saying went—like father, like son.No sooner had she ended the call, the phone rang again.Tally took a deep breath, reminding herself that today was supposed to be a happy day, not one filled with annoyance.But dealing with these people…After giving it some thought, she hesitantly answered, "Zane!""Ms. Johnson, you might want to come over to the Hunt residence."Tally asked, "What's going on now?"She was almost out of patience with these people.Zane explained, "Mr. Markus left behind a suicide note."Tally's expression froze in disbelief.A suicide note? Tally couldn't comprehend what was happening. She wondered if Markus was pulling another one of his stunts.It had only been less than an hour since Elijah arranged his marriage, and now he went ahead and left a suicide note."Where is he?" Tally raised an eyebrow.With everything happening so quickly, it all f

    Looking at her identification papers, Tally let out a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Tally had some knowledge of her father's habits. Otherwise, guessing the password for the safe, which belonged to her comatose father, would have been a daunting task.When Irina called, Tally answered, "Hey, Irina.""Guess what? Markus is engaged!""What?" Tally was shocked.Irina shared her surprise."This time, it seems Mr. Hunt Senior might genuinely have it out for you. We haven't even made a move, and suddenly they're announcing Markus and Sarah's engagement.""Sarah?" Tally was even more surprised.It was only today that they found out who had been secretly admiring Markus. Before they could even step in, Elijah had taken the initiative.It seemed like all these years, Elijah appeared unconcerned, but he actually knew everything.But if he was dead set on hating her, then so be it. Tally couldn't care less.On the other hand, if Elijah truly desired for her and Markus to be together all

    Elijah said, "Very well, then."Thinking about his troublesome son, Elijah wondered how he hadn't noticed Markus' extremity in his romantic pursuits before.Elijah was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath.Giving Markus a fierce look, he tried to hold back. Despite that, he couldn't resist putting in one final word, "No matter how much you want to be with Tally, I won't allow it."This time, there was no room for negotiation.At Elijah's words, Markus' eyes turned cold. "I'm afraid you have no say in this.""You..." Elijah's breath hitched as he heard Markus' retort. In a fit of rage, he grabbed a teacup and hurled it toward him.At that moment, Elijah felt an overwhelming urge to lash out at Markus.Elijah insisted, "Regardless of your decision, you and Sarah are officially engaged starting today."His tone was unusually firm.At this point, Elijah wasn't asking for Markus' opinion. He was simply informing him.Regarding Tally becoming Elijah's daughter-in-law, Elijah

    Kathryn was confused when Jessica suddenly shoved her into the car and promptly closed the door. With her hand still gripping the door handle, Kathryn looked up at Jessica and suggested, "Uh, how about dinner tonight?"Upon hearing Kathryn's dinner suggestion, Jessica paused before nodding and responding, "Let's talk about it later. I'll give you a call."Jessica seemed really busy, and Kathryn could tell from the way she talked that she was in a rush.Kathryn couldn't help but feel for Jessica as she watched her close the car door and hurried off toward the nearby office building, waving goodbye as she went.Kathryn found herself wondering who Jessica was in such a rush to meet.Kathryn couldn't resist stealing a glance back as the car pulled away. In that brief moment, Kathryn's heart skipped a beat as she saw Jessica walking alongside Lloyd. They were heading toward the glass doors of the building.Before Kathryn could double-check what she saw, the car had already turned.
