Arthur couldn't believe he had forgotten it. After many years, the only thing he remembered was not to do anything about the 30 shops on Labyrinth Lane. However, he had forgotten that the two villas and one apartment were for his missing daughter.

He felt his guilt crushing down on him. He shut his eyes and said, "I'm sorry. My illness has muddled my mind recently."

This might be related to his illness. He remembered this before, but now, he couldn't remember much.

However, his apology and excuses didn't make Benjamin relent. Instead, he looked at Arthur mockingly.

"You're right. Your mind is muddled. If you can't give Susan Elysian Villa, what will you give instead? Solaria Lodge or Jubilant Heights?"

Of all the things, Arthur just had to give Susan what belonged to his sister. Right now, Benjamin was past being disappointed with Arthur. He wanted to sever ties with him instead.

Arthur denied. "No, I'm not giving her that!"

Since those properties were for his missing daughter,

    "Yes." Enzo nodded. When he heard Benjamin ask about his sister, Ruby Fairmont, he had a bad feeling.Then, Benjamin said, "Women have to learn how to fend for themselves. You can't spoil them too much."His sister, Kathryn, was extremely capable. She survived working under a lunatic like Chris and even managed to win his heart. That was right. Even though Chris was his brother-in-law, Benjamin thought he was a lunatic. He was young yet old-fashioned.During this period, Benjamin inquired much about Kathryn's previous interactions with Chris. He was furious when he learned that Chris bullied his sister and always made her cry.Yet, for some reason, they were married now. If they hadn't gotten married, there was no way he would've let Chris become his brother-in-law.Enzo stiffened at his words. "I think you should pamper them more so they can avoid getting fooled.""I guess that's also likely." Benjamin thought Enzo's words made sense. Then, he felt even more sorry for Kathryn.

    In fact, Chris and Kathryn saw Arthur as well. The voice on his phone was loud, and they heard the sound of crying from the phone.Chris and Kathryn were familiar with that voice. It sounded like Susan's.Needless to say, Arthur probably came to the Albert Group to see Kathryn. However, when he got a call from his adopted daughter, he left regardless of everything.Chris took Kathryn's hand in the car and whispered, "How do you feel?""What do you mean by that?" Kathryn raised an eyebrow questioningly.She let Chris massage her hand without any intention to pull her hand away.Chris said, "He just left because he got a call from Susan."Arthur actually gave up the chance to see his daughter for the sake of his adopted daughter. Since the report was released yesterday, no one from the Winchester family had come to see her.After being separated for so many years, it was heartbreaking to see Arthur and his family treat her like this.Right now, tons of people felt bad for Kathry

    Chris fell silent. It seemed that Kathryn didn't quite believe she was part of the Winchesters yet.He thought it was reasonable that Kathryn wouldn't believe anything easily anymore after all the things Krista had done."What about the results of the DNA test conducted with Krista, then? Is it really positive?""Yes. It's positive." Chris nodded.Kathryn instantly gasped because of it. She couldn't believe that something like that had happened. She was speechless.…To Chris and Kathryn's surprise, Martha and Emily were still at Sunshine Bay when they returned.Frank didn't dare to let Martha and Emily visit the baby at all, as he was worried that they would forcibly do something to the child.Noticing that Chris and Kathryn had returned, Martha sarcastically said with a cold face, "You're such a brilliant son. I can't even see my own grandson, can I?"They had arrived at Sunshine Bay since evening but hadn't seen the baby yet.Chris and Kathryn didn't look friendly. Kathr

    The atmosphere inside the room was tense. Kathryn hadn't gone downstairs ever since she'd gone upstairs. Martha, whose tone was initially furious, changed her attitude and argued, "I was thinking that you might not have enough energy to take care of your baby because of the matter with the Winchesters recently. Look at how she had treated me."She was trying to claim that she only intended to take care of their baby for them with good intentions."Chris, as a daughter-in-law, I don't think Kathryn should be treating Mom like that," Emily said. She seemed to have admitted that Kathryn was the daughter-in-law of the Alberts because of the Winchesters.Even though it was only a subtle change in her behavior, people like Emily would always take it as a significant acknowledgment. Chris sneered. "Do you really think that we're unable to take care of one baby when there are so many people at Sunshine Bay?"He believed the baby only needed a nanny now, as the baby didn't have to be ed

    That was why Kathryn hadn't brought Kelly to the hospital for the past few days.Kathryn glanced at Kelly, who was calmly having her meal when she heard Jessica telling her that she wanted to see Kelly. "Alright, I'll bring her there later."Kathryn hung up the call shortly after.Kelly was looking at her, eyes filled with hope. Kathryn knew Kelly had wanted to follow her to the hospital for the past few days. She ruffled her hair and said, "Kelly, your mommy has to stay at the hospital. Do you get it?""Don't worry, Aunt Kathryn. I won't say anything that'll make mommy worry again." Kelly was also aware that what happened last time had made Jessica so anxious that she nearly insisted on being discharged from the hospital.Kathryn was pleased. She nodded. "You're a good girl."Chris also felt that Kelly was a well-behaved and sensible child as he looked at how she behaved.He still remembered how Emily behaved when she was a child. He always thought children would be naughty and

    The nursing assistants were tactful enough to leave the ward directly as they saw Kathryn come in. Kathryn thought perhaps they were disgusted by Jessica's vomit. They didn't even clean away the vomit inside the trash can. It was being left in front of the hospital bed.There was a bitterness in Kathryn's heart as she looked at the scene. She placed Kelly on the ground and said, "Kelly, can you talk to your mommy for a while?""Aunt Kathryn, I'll do it," Kelly said sensibly as she noticed that Kathryn intended to change the trash bag. Kathryn had no idea whether Kelly had seen the expressions of the nursing assistants just now. Her heart was aching as she saw how Kelly was behaving.She ruffled Kelly's hair. "I'll do it. You hadn't seen your mommy for days. Your mommy misses you."Jessica was looking at Kathryn as she quickly tidied up the ward. The trash can wasn't the only spot that was filthy. The entire ward was extremely messy today.It has always been crucial for a pat

    "But I feel like my life seems to be reaching its limit every time I have my treatment. I have the feeling that I won't be able to leave this hospital alive. Kathryn, do you understand this feeling?"Jessica's eyes were filled with despair as she looked toward Kathryn while she spoke.She truly wanted to live. She wanted to leave the hospital alive. She believed that the sunshine outside the hospital must be very wonderful at the moment.Yet, the sunshine seemed grayish to her as she looked outside the window from the hospital. It was a completely different feeling. Jessica felt that it was the difference between dying and being alive."I want to enjoy the golden sunshine. I want to go to places with Kelly." Jessica was willing to stay anywhere besides the hospital as long as she could be together with Kelly.Kathryn was suffering as she heard what Jessica had said. She felt suffocated. She took a few deep breaths and said with difficulty, "Are you aware that you won't have mu

    Kathryn intended to visit Jessica's doctor as she came out of her ward. Yet, she surprisingly overheard the two nursing assistants talking to each other when she was in the restroom. "I can't believe how generous Mrs. Preston was. She's got a point, you know. She's going to die, after all.""I know, right? And that sister of hers, I don't think the Alberts truly accept her even though she's the lady of the family. Things would probably be worse for her if Mr. Albert doesn't like her anymore one day.""Yeah. I guess we should just do what Mrs. Preston says at the moment. She's dying, after all. They can't blame us for that."The nursing assistants were secretly discussing it.Kathryn was infuriated as she listened to them inside the restroom partition. Her heart was burning with rage.She immediately came out from the partition, pushing the door open with a loud bang.Before the nursing assistants could realize what was happening, she grabbed each of them with her hands and forc

    After leaving the Hunt residence, Tally made her way directly to Victor's company.Worried she might lose her way, Drew had been waiting downstairs in anticipation of her arrival.When Tally saw Victor, her face lit up with joy."You should've seen Mr. Hunt Senior's expression earlier. 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.
