Chris had even arranged for two bodyguards and a driver to accompany her. Tally had nothing to worry about."Alright, I'll go to the hospital now." Tally could feel the burning pain from the scratches Wendy had inflicted. Markus immediately took Tally to the hospital.There weren't many people left. Kathryn looked at Wendy coldly and said, "Let's go.""Where are we going?""Do you want to discuss this here?" Kathryn's tone grew colder.Wendy had humiliated Jessica by causing a scene at her workplace today, and Kathryn was seething with anger at the thought of it. She wouldn't agree to a discussion here, even if Wendy wanted one.Kathryn then led them to a nearby restaurant for their conversation. A car was parked not far from them. Krista donned her sunglasses when she saw Kathryn leaving Skyline Group. She instructed her driver, "Let's go."The driver nodded and started driving.Kathryn ordered a few dishes at the restaurant. Wendy, Patrick, and Maxwell devoured the fo

Kathryn couldn't fathom how Wendy dared to demand gratitude for raising them at this point."I don't see a reason why we should.""No matter how insufferable I may be, I still managed to get you into college. Look at your neighbors. Most of them didn't even finish junior high school.""College? I don't think that had anything to do with you."Jessica had received financial aid from a benevolent individual to attend college. Kathryn, on the other hand, had relied on her grandmother. Her grandmother had worked diligently to raise her and save money for her tuition fees."Even if I didn't raise you, I never let you starve. Are you trying to be ungrateful now? God will never forgive you."Despite Wendy's tough façade, she was plagued by guilt deep down. She couldn't believe that Jessica and Kathryn had unearthed the truth after all these years.Wendy wondered what else they knew. She assumed they were unaware of anything beyond the fact that they weren't her biological daughters,

"W-Who are you?" Wendy inquired anxiously, repeatedly casting glances at the MPV behind the man.The man responded with deference, "My employer would like to meet with you. Please step into the vehicle." Wendy, Patrick, and Maxwell hurriedly entered the vehicle, thinking someone wealthy wanted to meet them. They didn't even bother to ask for the person's name. Contrary to their expectations, the car didn't take them to an opulent estate. Instead, it proceeded to a remote and isolated location. The vehicle finally came to a halt at an exceedingly secluded spot, where a couple of men in suits disembarked."Why have you brought us here?" It was then that Wendy sensed something was amiss, but it was already too late.The men dragged them out of the car and brutally beat them up. Wendy, Patrick, and Maxwell cried out in pain as they were beaten. Their cries were so agonizing that nearby birds took flight, startled by the commotion.Meanwhile, Krista sat menacingly in a car not

Tally felt like she was on the verge of suffocation throughout the journey to the hospital and back. The oppressive vibe emanating from Markus was nearly unbearable.As they arrived at the office, Tally couldn't shake the feeling that he was unwilling to let her escape. Internally, she was in turmoil, but she couldn't allow a trace of it to show on her face.Tally watched as Markus entered his office and sat in his executive chair. His demeanor was as cold as an iceberg. She stood rooted to the spot at the entrance, too afraid to move. Markus quirked his brow at her. "What's the matter? Do I need to personally invite you in?"The look on Tally's face froze as she frantically shook her head. "No, no, no. There's no need!"She knew that waiting for Markus to extend an invitation would be digging her own grave, so she quickly hurried into the office and closed the door behind her.She turned around and saw Markus lighting a cigarette. Tally couldn't deny the undeniable charm that M

Tally was well aware of the Glenn family's standing in Harborlean.It would be the end of her if she publicly called the engagement off now. The Glenn family might just end her life out of spite.Tally shuddered at the thought of how ruthless the Glenn family could be. Markus' expression remained as dark as ever. His gaze bore down on Tally with unwavering dominance, causing her to break into a cold sweat under his oppressive stare. "Why?"She didn't understand what Markus wanted with her and Victor.The Johnsons couldn't afford to offend them.Markus threatened, "The consequences will be much worse if you don't call the engagement off.""That's not reason enough for me to call the engagement off. Plus, it's just a contract marriage, and we plan to divorce in a year or two. This marriage will bring peace to everyone. I can't risk offending Victor either."Furthermore, she had been the one to reach out to Victor first. If she were to call off the engagement at this juncture,
