Chapter 151

Chris walked out with Kathryn, leaving an embarrassed Mia. Amelia looked at her with sympathy and said, "Don't take it to heart, Mia. She's just some country girl that Chris is putting on an act with!"Amelia had looked into Kathryn before. Kathryn was a girl who studied her way out of the countryside. Amelia thought it was ridiculous that Kathryn aimed to marry into a wealthy family with her unimpressive appearance.Meanwhile, Mia tried her best to hold back her tears. Chris' sudden exit left Victor, Travis, and Marco embarrassed too. Marco glanced at Hannah and told her, "Take care of Ms. Davis, Hannah.""Okay." Hannah reacted quickly and started cutting up Mia's mutton for her.However, she was very annoyed by how Mia showed up uninvited. Even if they'd dated in the past, Chris was married now! She was only staying silent for her boyfriend's sake."Eat up, Mia!" Hannah placed the lamb in Mia's bowl. But Mia didn't touch it. Instead, Mia scanned the room and asked, "So

Those three words were very cold. It was clear what he felt about Mia's attitude.Kathryn's mouth twitched. "She was crying a lot." When Kathryn said that, she had no idea how to judge Mia. It was bad enough that she followed them there, but crying too? Kathryn found it ridiculous. Chris looked at her. "Am I supposed to comfort her?" His words were so cold it almost gave her chills.Kathryn's face twisted. "No. What I meant was, you two don't seem like exes at all! Why didn't you just go to her if you needed a wife so much in the beginning?"Judging by Mia's attitude, she clearly didn't want to break up with him at all. And now … "Shut up!" Chris' tone somehow got even colder, scaring Kathryn into freezing up.She was just telling the truth. She had no idea why Chris was angry again. But she didn't dare provoke him for the sake of her house, so she dropped the subject."Alright, I'll stop asking about it," Kathryn reassured him. "Don't be mad, okay?"Chris shot her a co

It happened so suddenly. After Adrian left, Kathryn thought the matter was settled. Who knew that he'd actually try to get the doctor responsible for that report fired?Remembering that Markus was coming for Tally, Kathryn wanted to text her. But Chris was looking at her threateningly, so she didn't dare move a muscle.Chris' gaze got even colder when she didn't respond again. "Answer me!""I-I don't know!" Kathryn almost cried. What could she say? Everything she said could make things worse! The only way out of this … was to dodge the question!However, Chris clearly wasn't going to let her do that. Kathryn heard the hiss of a match being lit much faster than usual. From that alone, she could tell how much Chris was suppressing his anger. Kathryn wished she could jump out of the car and escape."You don't know?" Chris asked. The murderous intent in those three words made him sound like Satan himself. Kathryn wanted to nod, but Chris was so scary that she couldn't say a word.

"I'm still hungry!" Kathryn grumbled. Roast mutton was her favorite, but that uninvited guest had made even that seem tasteless.Cara was shocked when she heard that Kathryn was still hungry. "Is Mr. Chris back, then?" she asked.The moment Chris was mentioned, Kathryn buried her head in a cushion. In her mind, she cried out, "He's gone off to see his true love!" Yet, all she could utter was a "no."At the thought of his true love, Kathryn was speechless. How did someone with Chris' taste end up with Mia? It was so troublesome!Cara nodded. "Shall I make pasta, then?""Okay," Kathryn said with a nod. She loved pasta, and she thought the pasta she made was great. But Chris didn't seem to like it.And just like that, the cooking skills she'd learned since childhood became worthless.When Cara entered the kitchen, Kathryn hurriedly picked up her phone and tried to call Tally. But then she remembered what Markus had said.Tally was probably in his office right now, so after some

That cold, sharp counter question almost destroyed Tally's defenses, but she held on and said as calmly as possible, "Of course there wasn't?""How so?" How so, indeed. Was she still being stubborn, or was she just plain clueless?"May I remind you that the report is Kathryn's?" Markus continued, his tone growing sharper."Oh, that's true. But I was the one who got it wrong."Markus held that sharp gaze toward her, waiting for whatever she would say next. Tally felt a little guilty because of that, but she held on. "My father was forcing me to marry. I wanted that report for myself, but I accidentally said Kathryn's name during the phone call. That's how the doctor got confused," she lied seriously.Markus said nothing and took a sip of water. His uncaring attitude made it clear that he didn't believe a word of her bullshit. That scared Tally a lot. Even though she kept telling herself she didn't need to be scared because he wasn't her actual boss, Markus was too good at inves

Could Tally say she was mistaken? She obviously couldn't because once words were uttered, they could never be taken back. If she tried to take back what she said, she'd essentially be refuting everything in front of Markus. That would just land her in more trouble. After some thinking, Tally nodded. "I swear, everything I just said is true.""So you're saying Kathryn lied, am I right?""What did he mean by 'Am I right'?" Tally wondered, feeling like she was going mad. Markus' gaze was so sharp. She felt that responding with either a yes or a no could both be the wrong choice!Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know what she said, but what I said is all true."Only then did Tally realize she had no clue what Kathryn said. She considered the possibility of Markus bluffing to test her. She decided the only way out was to give him zero reason to be suspicious.Even if he was already suspicious, her job was to stop that suspicion from deepening. And so, Tally t

Kathryn remembered that Tally was braver than anyone, which slightly reassured her. Tally only texted around three o'clock, saying, "I feel like I just died!""So Mr. Hunt did interrogate you?" Kathryn texted back."Why didn't you tell me beforehand if you knew?" Tally felt like she wanted to die. Kathryn's secret was getting really hard to cover up. Nothing happened today, but Markus and Chris were keeping such a close eye on them. They'd get busted sooner or later."I wanted to, but I couldn't. He called Mr. Albert directly," Kathryn said. Under such a pressuring gaze, she didn't even dare move, let alone contact Tally."We're doomed!"Even without seeing Tally's face, Kathryn could tell it was pale. The events of today had deeply frightened them. Everything had happened so suddenly.Kathryn looked up. Chris hadn't come out of the study since he entered it. He was probably in a video call meeting. So, she quickly took her phone to her bedroom, then called Tally."Kathryn, wh

"You'd better pipe down and not say anything, got it?" Tally said seriously, scared that Kathryn would raise suspicion somehow."What about my baby?"Tally was speechless. Now that Kathryn mentioned the baby, she really wanted to die. How could she have forgotten? She was pregnant!"Haven't you asked Mr. Albert?""I didn't have the guts!"Tally didn't know what to say. What were they going to do now? How did they end up in so much trouble within such a short time? Tally wanted to cry.They didn't dare abort the baby, but Chris was sharp. He'd surely get suspicious if they asked him about having kids. And if he started investigating … Needless to say, they'd be doomed!Kathryn almost cried when she realized Tally had gone silent. "What do we do? We can't hold it off any longer!"The doctor had told them that if they didn't want the baby, they should make a decision as soon as possible. The surgery would be much harder once the baby got too big. Tally couldn't think of anyt

Chapter 159

Kathryn's heart sank when she saw Chris' face fall, and she lost the ability to think entirely. Coldness flashed in Chris' eyes as he strode over. Then, he pinched Kathryn's chin and asked coldly, "Children? What do you mean?""W-What exactly did he hear?" Kathryn asked herself. Kathryn opened her eyes, only to find herself looking into Chris' intense gaze. She hastily shut her eyes again.The grip on her chin tightened. "Open your eyes!"Kathryn didn't dare open them. But when Chris' grip tightened again, Kathryn opened her eyes out of pain. She let out a pitiful cry, "Mr. Albert.""What children? Tell me!" His tone got even harsher. What little nerves Kathryn had gathered were destroyed again. She was now completely unable to think. All she could do was look dumbly at Chris."Tell me!""I-I-I-It was Tally!" Kathryn stammered.In a sudden rush of panic, she remembered that she had forgotten to ask what Markus had asked of Tally and what Tally's response had been. What c

Chapter 160

In the past, even though everyone worked in the same building, they barely saw each other once a month. Even if they did see each other, they'd be acquaintances at best.But now, Tally was making so many visits to Markus' office. She was a little scared. Wouldn't this make her even more exposed than Kathryn to danger?Tally looked at Markus weakly and asked, "Yes, Mr. Hunt?" even though she truly wanted to ask, "Can you ask everything all at once?"Tally felt like she was being tortured right now. She finally understood why Kathryn was so scared of Chris. It was just … too much!Lately, they've been facing emergencies almost every day. Tally suddenly felt that Kathryn wasn't dumb at all.Of all the assistants Chris' hired over the years, none lasted more than a month, but Kathryn had lasted for years! That proved she wasn't stupid.Still, Tally couldn't help but think that Kathryn was probably scared stupid by now.Markus looked Tally up and down. "Are you pregnant?"Tally was
