Markus made call after call, his frustration mounting with each unanswered ring until Tally finally answered the phone. Markus' tone exuded pure hostility, "Where are you?"His words were strained, barely escaping through gritted teeth. Tally could even discern the icy edge in his tone over the phone. Tally asked, "What's up?"Markus snapped, "What's up? Seriously, Tally Johnson? How did I never realize what a mess you are?""And now you do?" Tally's tone grew sharper.She seemed indifferent and was showing no sign of admitting any fault.Markus was too stunned for words. Already feeling aggravated, Markus was now furious at Tally's remark. His mind was practically ablaze with anger."Get my father back to the hospital, or things will get even worse." Following Victor's instructions, Tally's response remained indifferent.However, there was a noticeable edge of danger in her tone.Markus sneered, "After doing something so despicable, do you really expect your father to

Just moments ago, Tally was fretting over whether her actions today had crossed a line and would anger the Hunts.If anything were to happen to her father, she would truly regret it. But to her surprise, it actually worked.Victor lifted his glass, took a sip, and spoke with a soft chuckle, "I'm not exactly a mind reader. But I do know exactly what an elder expects in a daughter-in-law."Tally huffed, "So, I'm not good enough to be the Hunts' daughter-in-law?"Even though she didn't care and would never marry Markus, Victor's words felt a bit odd when he put it like that.Victor watched her sulking expression and teased, "Well, when you were berating Mr. Hunt Senior earlier, you definitely didn't meet his standards."Tally remained silent.It appeared that a woman who had the audacity to confront an elder with such vehemence would be too much for any elder to handle.Reflecting on the situation now, she hadn't anticipated getting so enraged."I was completely irrational at tha

Even though Chris had long noticed Kathryn's bias toward Tally, her current statement still surprised him."So when Tally does it, it's not considered despicable anymore?" he sighed, massaging his temples. Just moments ago, they were both agreeing on how terrible it was to burn down gates and desecrate graves.It dawned on Chris that Kathryn's support for Tally would never waver, no matter what.Kathryn reasoned, "Well, Markus practically forced her into it."Given Markus' relentless pressure tactics, Kathryn couldn't overlook the toll it had inflicted on Tally. She, too, had been pushed to the brink of madness by his coercion in the past. So, even if Tally did something wrong, Kathryn believed it was still Markus' fault.Chris, feeling frustrated with Kathryn's reasoning, decided to drop the argument altogether."Ugh, I need to give Tally a call," Kathryn muttered, turning on her heel. Clearly, she was off to seek confirmation.Kathryn's obvious bias toward Tally made Chris f

As Tally thought back on Kathryn, she couldn't help but wonder how things might have turned out if she hadn't been there for Kathryn.Seeing her disbelief, Victor smirked and asked, "Did you really raise Kathryn?""Of course, we've been together since middle school."Back then, it often felt like Tally was the one taking care of Kathryn.Even after they graduated, Tally continued to support her, ensuring she found employment and worrying she might struggle in the real world.To this day, Tally couldn't quite understand why she felt such a strong bond with Kathryn. Constantly worrying about her, ensuring she had enough to eat and was properly dressed, made Tally feel like a second mother to her.…When Tally returned to the company, Irina came over and said, "Mr. Markus is here. He's been waiting for you for a while."Tally's eyes twitched upon hearing Markus was there.Henry stood outside her office door and respectfully greeted her. "Ms. Johnson."Tally remained silent. Sh

Tally left.With only Irina and Markus left in the office, Markus gave Irina a cold look and remarked, "You're turning out to be quite the loyal dog Victor's keeping around."Irina didn't respond. But inside, a surge of anger ignited."Are you biting at whoever you come across now?" she calmly shot back.To Irina, Markus now appeared to be nothing short of a bull in a china shop. It felt like anyone not on his side was automatically his enemy, and he wouldn't hesitate to confront them.And now, he was calling her a dog. Even if that was the case, she was one who knew how to bite back and wouldn't let him get away with it.Markus said, "She's not going to a meeting, is she?"Aware that Irina was firing back at him, he felt annoyed but chose not to engage further. He was getting fed up with anyone associated with Victor.Listening to his confident tone, Irina couldn't help but sneer. "You know, you're pretty clever. But it seems you're not putting it to good use."Markus was ren
