After ending the call, Kathryn's heart pounded so intensely that it felt unbearable. She was truly desperate at that moment.Now she had to keep up a lie that could be easily uncovered. If what Tally had mockingly said was true, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on until she sold the house. Kathryn only came out of her room after two whole hours. When she opened the door, she saw that Chris finished the video call. He was making a phone call right now.When he noticed her, Chris said to the listener, "Mm-hmm, come here at once." Then, he hung up and waved Kathryn over, even though she was only halfway out the door. "Come here."Kathryn's chest tightened when she saw him calling her like he was calling a pet.She wanted to retreat into her room but didn't dare to once she met Chris' sharp gaze. So, she shakily got out and walked toward Chris.She stopped and wrung her hands together when she was about three feet away. "M-Mr. Albert?"Before she could react, Chris pulled he

Tally's demeanor had become more arrogant than usual due to her dilemma. As she left Albert Group and saw Markus, she instinctively straightened her back.She would usually hide when she saw Markus or Chris because of all the secrets that had been weighing on her. But now she didn't want to hide anymore.As she passed Markus, she walked with her head held high, as if she hadn't done that in a long time. She was about to walk past him when Markus stopped her. "Tally, come to my office."Tally stopped in her tracks. She could sense how sharp and dangerous his tone was, and all her pride disappeared right there.Tally couldn't help but curse inwardly. Guilt was guilt, and she knew she couldn't escape its grip so easily. Did she truly believe that giving up would set her free? She realized that lies were like an oppressive chain that wouldn't let go of her conscience. By opting for lies, Tally had essentially forfeited any opportunity for freedom. Tally turned around and forced a

Meanwhile, every minute was torture to Kathryn at Rexton Manor. Chris was sitting on the couch, looking through documents. Cara served freshly cut fruit to them, but Kathryn had no appetite at all. It was almost an hour now, and Kathryn got nervous just looking at Chris.When the doorbell rang, Kathryn flinched. The fruit plate she was holding fell on the carpet with a dull thud.Chris looked at Kathryn coldly in response, making her tremble in fear. "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that," she said.By then, Cara had already opened the door to reveal an old man with white hair. "Dr. Garcia, you're here! Please, come in!" she said respectfully.Adrian Garcia was the Albert family's personal doctor, so even the servants knew him well.Upon hearing that the doctor had arrived, Kathryn became very nervous and quickly bent down to tidy up the mess."Stop that," Chris said with a scolding tone.Kathryn suddenly felt like she had two left feet and hands. Her body wasn't listening to her

Chapter 124

Chris' mother was still alive? Kathryn had known that Franco's current wife was his stepmother since she started working at Albert Group, but she thought his birth mother was dead! Kathryn couldn't help but think that Franco was an asshole. Kathryn recalled Chris himself had told her that his mother was dead. Or was that just something he said in the heat of the moment?Just how much did he hate her? Then again, if someone asked her about her mother, she'd also wished she could say Wendy was dead.Some women are just such confusing mothers.When Chris heard Adrian mention his mother, his eyes became colder, and he shook his head. "She's never coming back. She was very clear about that back when she left."Adrian sighed and shook his head. "That's true. When she left, she'd left everything in Harborlean behind!"That could only mean one thing. Chris' mother wouldn't come back, no matter what happened. It was a painful but understandable decision.Kathryn didn't dare interrupt

When Chris heard the word "results," his expression instantly darkened as he looked at Adrian. He asked, "How is she?"The color drained from Kathryn's face as she trembled. She was screwed! She looked at Adrian pleadingly.However, Adrian didn't notice anything, possibly because his eyesight failed him. He looked back at Chris and said honestly, "Ms. Michaels isn't sick."Kathryn stopped breathing. Adrian might look kind and amiable, but he was too cruel. He sold her out without hesitation. She really wished she could die on the spot.Chris asked, "She isn't sick?" His tone was more than harsh. He looked profoundly at Kathryn, who was sitting beside him.Kathryn tried her best to suppress her panic. She forced a happy smile, trying to express to Chris that she was healthy and happy. But her smile was worse than crying!Adrian nodded. "The hospital must have given a misdiagnosis. Ms. Michaels really isn't sick."When Kathryn heard the word "misdiagnosis," her eyes lit up, and sh

Hearing Chris' question, Adrian smiled at Kathryn. He said, "Her condition isn't stable yet, so don't have sex.""What condition?" Chris frowned at Kathryn, confused. He wondered what Kathryn and Adrian talked about in those few minutes.Adrian was about to mention her pregnancy. Kathryn quickly interrupted, "Dr. Garcia, these things are a bit heavy, so I'll carry them for you." She spoke anxiously and loudly, interrupting Chris and Adrian's conversation.When Adrian heard her words, he teased with a smile. "My things are a bit heavy, but you're carrying something heavier than that." After that, he took his suitcase from Kathryn. He told Chris, "I still have some business to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave."Seeing that Adrian was busy, Chris nodded. "The driver is waiting for you downstairs.""Okay." Adrian nodded.Chris led Adrian to the door, and Kathryn followed nervously behind them. She feared that Adrian would say something else.The moment Adrian left the door, Kat

Kathryn was still sleepy, but when she heard the urgency in Jessica's tone, she snapped awake instantly. She asked, "What's wrong?"Jessica said, "She's here. I picked her up from the train station!""Was Jessica referring to Wendy?" Kathryn thought. She had already forgotten when she stopped calling Wendy her mother. She was fully awake after hearing that. She sat up from the bed, asking, "Wendy is here?"Jessica said, "Yes, and she's demanding to see you!""I'm not going to see her," Kathryn said without thinking. She had already made her stance about Wendy very clear. She had seen her mother many times as a child, but she wouldn't even spare her a glance. So, whatever Wendy was doing didn't concern her at all.Hearing Kathryn's stubborn tone, Jessica helplessly reminded, "If you don't see her now, she will come looking for you tomorrow. Even if she doesn't know where you live now, she could still find the Albert Group."Kathryn's heart stopped at her sister's words. She was ri

However, Kathryn refused, "No, I can go myself." If Wendy saw Chris, she wouldn't leave until she got some money from him.Noticing Kathryn's concerns, Chris said, "I'll wait for you outside." After that, he put down the mug in his hand and walked toward the entrance. He left no room for Kathryn to refuse. He hadn't showered yet, and he was still wearing his loungewear.Since Chris had insisted, Kathryn no longer refused. "Thank you very much." Chris gave her a look, and she shrank back. Noticing her actions, he snorted, "Are you sure you want to go alone, seeing how timid you are?""I have nothing to say to her. There's nothing for me to be afraid of," Kathryn scoffed.Chris didn't believe her words. But he remembered how she had upset Franco to the point where he ended up in the ICU. He thought the impossible might happen with her around. When it came to courage, Kathryn was an unpredictable force of nature. Everything about her was a novel experience.Since Chris was driv

However, Jessica was clearly upset with Karen's attitude.When Jessica heard her sister's question, her expression froze. She felt her bitter emotions spreading. Nonetheless, she said, "There's nothing to be concerned about. I'm fine."Although Jessica said she was fine, Kathryn could clearly hear her frustrations about her current situation."All right. Let's go in!" Jessica didn't want to keep talking about this.Kathryn didn't say anything else and followed Jessica into the house. As soon as they entered the house, they saw Wendy watching TV, eating snacks, and laughing. Wendy looked so carefree that Jessica and Kathryn weren't sure if she heard Karen's words just now. Perhaps, she feigned ignorance, not caring about other people shaming her, to gain benefits.Seeing Wendy's devil-may-care attitude, Jessica's expression darkened. She called out sullenly, "Mom."However, Wendy continued to giggle at the TV and eat her snacks as if she didn't hear Jessica.Jessica looked at K

Wendy nodded. "I'm your mother. I should be the one who negotiates these things."Wendy was right. Usually, when someone was getting married, the parents were the ones who negotiated the dowry. However, Kathryn and Wendy weren't as close as a typical mother and daughter."Please don't be angry, Kathryn. I was wrong all these years. I'm telling the truth. My anger had gotten the better of me back then. I should just die!" Wendy said, repeatedly hitting herself in the face. Wendy regretted her actions. If she had known that Kathryn was so promising, she would have kept this girl with her back then. She shouldn't have listened to Gavin or even remarried back then. She should have just raised Kathryn. Now, her child was successful. As her mother, it shouldn't be hard to get some benefits from her success.Kathryn didn't feel a single tinge of emotion from Wendy's apology. She said calmly, "How much dowry do you plan to ask him for?"Seeing that Kathryn didn't object, Wendy stopped
