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
When Franco mentioned Kathryn, his face turned ugly.It may have seemed like Kathryn was a Winchester. Yet, the situation caused such a huge commotion, and the Winchester was now a laughing stock.The Albert family was dragged through the mud too.No one would have expected the Albert and Winchester families to join in matrimony.When Franco thought about everything Arthur had done, his face turned even uglier. If Krista hadn't caused so much trouble, he wouldn't have compromised with the Winchesters.Now that he found out Kathryn was a Winchester, he didn't feel relieved at all.In turn, he was repulsed by Kathryn."No matter what, Kathryn already has a child with Chris. It doesn't matter which family she belonged to. Chris still likes her," Marigold said gently.When she mentioned Kathryn and Chris' baby, Franco's face darkened.Until now, he had not met his grandson.He kept asking Chris to bring the baby. However, Chris had yet to bring him over. Franco even asked the b
When Kathryn returned to the Albert Group from the hospital, she saw Travis and Benjamin exiting Chris' office.When she saw them, Kathryn's body tensed.Travis saw her, and their eyes met, but Kathryn quickly avoided eye contact.As of now, she was unsure how to face the Winchesters.Chris told her she could be a Winchester based on what the Winchesters knew.In the blink of an eye, Travis and Benjamin appeared in front of her. She lowered her head and clasped her little hands together.Benjamin instinctively wanted to say something to her, but Travis said in a deep voice, "Benjamin, wait for me in the basement parking lot."Benjamin didn't want to.However, he knew his brother needed to talk to Kathryn. So, he nodded and left.Everyone in the secretarial department didn't dare to look at them. They lowered their heads and focused on their work.However, they were all ears.Travis looked at Kathryn, who had her head lowered.She was tall. She was like grass that had weat
However, Travis' hand froze when Kathryn looked up at him. He pulled his hand back with a sigh. "When you go to Island Bay with Chris this weekend, you should try Evelyn's amazing cooking. That place will be your other home from now on."Kathryn took a deep breath when she heard his words. He wasn't talking about the Winchester residence. Instead, he was referring to Island Bay, where he had lived for the past few years.She had seen online how messy the situation with the Winchesters was. She knew that Susan was the daughter of Arthur's first love. She also learned about Susan's status in the Winchester family, and why Travis and Benjamin wanted to drive Susan out of the family.However, some people in that family still loved Susan. This occurrence formed a rift between the members of the family. Moreover, Kathryn, the biological daughter, was placed in an awkward position.Travis mentioned just now that he had been looking for her, and his mother wanted to meet her.However, he
Kathryn had no intentions of telling him the truth. After all, the current situation was complicated. She didn't want to make things worse.Travis didn't force her to say anything either, but he couldn't just sit by when he saw his sister get hurt.They talked for a little longer before Travis left in a hurry. Meanwhile, Kathryn returned to the office. Chris had just finished making a call when he saw her coming in. When he saw the injuries on her face, his heart skipped a beat. "What happened to your face?"Kathryn kicked the door open. Then, she walked to the sofa and fell face-first into the seat. She was already weary on the way back to the office.After meeting Travis, her mind was a mess. There were so many things going on, and that annoyed her.Chris approached her and turned her over. He saw the scratches on her face and asked, "What on earth happened?""I met Krista in the hospital, and we ended up fighting.""What?" Chris was shocked.Kathryn sat up and said angrily
"Did no one come to help you when you both were fighting?" Chris asked."We were in the doctor's office at the time. Our people were at the entrance of Jessica's ward," Kathryn explained.The doctor's office was a distance away from Jessica's ward. There was no way anyone would notice if a fight broke out in the office."The doctor pulled us apart.""What happened after that?""Then, I took Krista's one million dollars and put it in the trunk of my car.""You took her money? What's the story behind that?"Chris' mind became a mess from what he heard. Things were already hectic as they were, but everything that happened was getting weirder than the last time.Kathryn explained, "I took the one million dollars she paid to bribe the doctor. After I scared her away from fighting, I took the money back."Taking a beating and getting one million dollars in return didn't seem like a loss.However, Chris' expression darkened at her words. "You're so greedy!""It's not like I want he
