Tally found herself speechless, grappling with Markus' unexpected apology. She couldn't believe someone like him would admit to his mistake.In her eyes, Markus was someone who would never admit to his mistake.He was a maniac."You're sorry?" Tally murmured with a smile. She wondered why he apologized.Perhaps he thought he could resolve his actions with a simple apology. However, an apology wouldn't cut the things he had done, not to mention it was just a simple apology.Tally thought Markus finally admitted to his mistake and was apologizing for their conflict. However, she had thought too highly of him. Markus replied, "There was a misunderstanding with the flowers today. I wasn't the one who sent the carnations."Tally couldn't utter a word. She hated hearing the word "carnations" the most. Yet, Markus was bringing it up right now.Markus added before she could get angry, "My father sent them."She froze.Markus was not apologizing because of the conflict but for the ca
When Tally went inside the house, Victor had already finished showering. The navy blue rope couldn't conceal his elegance, especially with the slightly open neckline.If Tally hadn't been so infuriated with Markus' behavior, she would have been captivated by Victor's charm.When Tally was deep in thought, Victor appeared before her and pinched her cheek. "Do I look good?"Tally was stunned for a moment before instantly returning to her senses. Her face blushed deep red. Despite being furious, she was charmed by his beauty. Seeing her embarrassed look, he laughed. "Don't feel ashamed to look. I'm yours, after all."Tally replied, "Stop talking!""Are you shy?" Victor teased. He liked seeing her at a loss.Nobody would have thought the head of Johnson Group would be so dainty at home.Victor had met a lot of women in his life. However, not many of them genuinely captivated him. Tally was the first one.She was different from the other women. The latter always had a motive to ap
Jessica frowned at Byron. When Byron looked up and saw her indifferent gaze, he suddenly felt angered.He circled the woman's waist and told Jessica, "Go out and wait first.""Okay." Jessica nodded before leaving.Her back was straight, and her steps were firm. Surprisingly, she was calm and composed in the face of such a situation.The reason why she was so calm was because she didn't care at all.Jessica exited the pub and got in the car.Her phone buzzed in her bag, and she retrieved it to find an unknown number calling.She accepted the call. "Hello.""Jess, it's me." Krista's voice sounded at the other end of the line.Krista seemed to have reached her breaking point. At first, she hoped Kathryn wouldn't reveal her identity to Jessica. However, accepting the fact that Jessica was already aware, Krista decided to stop hiding.A dangerous glint flashed in Jessica's eyes when she heard Krista's voice.Krista became uneasy when she didn't hear an answer from Jessica. "Let
Krista didn't receive a response from Jessica; the latter had abruptly ended the call. Jessica's reaction hit Krista harder compared to when the latter had apologized to Kathryn.Kathryn would voice out her dissatisfaction. However, after hearing Krista's revelation, Jessica had lost all patience and hung up the phone.Despite being gentler in her demeanor compared to Kathryn, Jessica's temperament appeared to have taken a turn.Krista found herself yearning for Jessica's accusations or anger rather than this indifferent silence.Krista shuddered in pain.Just discharged, Savanna went to get some water. However, she went over to Krista's room after sensing that something wasn't right.After turning on the lights, she saw Krista curled up on the bed with a pale face."Krista." Savanna stepped forward in shock.Krista felt pain all over her body, but she didn't know where exactly it stemmed from.After seeing her like that, Savanna was anxious. "Tell me where it hurts. We should
"Why did he leave? He left because you forced him to! It's not like we can't afford to raise a child!" Krista roared.Contrary to being a materialistic woman, Krista valued her relationships and possessed a mother's tenderness. She genuinely wanted to protect and care for her child."Why do you think I must be in the high society to live a good life? Do you think I was happy living with the Alberts?"When the Albert family was brought up, Savanna went silent.Savanna planned everything so Krista could marry Franco. The former thought that Krista's future would be bright this way.However, Savanna didn't expect Franco to be a playboy. She also didn't foresee the extent of a man's indifference once he grew tired of a woman.Everything that happened to Martha also occurred to Krista.Savanna had been wrong. However, it was useless even if she admitted to her mistakes. Krista was already hurting."It's all my fault. I'll go and explain to her." At this moment, it seemed that Savann
Despite Jessica taking her time driving to the destination, her car swiftly disappeared from Byron's line of sight. Seeing how she had driven at lightning speed, Byron experienced an inexplicable surge of anger.Byron escorted the woman to a room after that. The person who opened the door was a man named Louis Macall. He was Byron's friend who had just returned from overseas.When the woman saw Louis, her expression changed drastically."Thanks." Before the woman could speak, Louis dragged her into the room.Byron said, "Don't ask me to do something like this again."While saying that, he shot an indifferent look at the woman in the room. Meanwhile, the woman also glared at him aggravatedly. Louis circled the woman's waist. "I didn't have a choice. She's too stubborn and refused to meet me."Byron wasn't interested to know about the conflict between Louis and the woman. He turned and left."Remember to give me the Mountain Hegleus project.""Got it!"With that, Byron left.
Despite being Jessica's mother, Krista was also the one who had ruined her life."Okay, I got it," Kathryn agreed in the end.Krista replied, "Thank you. Thank you so much.""Let's set it in the afternoon.""Okay. That's settled!" Krista said.The duo chatted for a while before ending the call.Kathryn had planned to sleep in today. However, she couldn't fall back asleep after being woken up by the phone call.She got up, washed up, and changed her clothes.Chris was seated at the dining table when she went down the stairs. Surprised, he raised his brows when he saw her coming down. "Why didn't you sleep a bit more?""I woke up when you left.""Did I wake you?" He had tried to be as quiet as possible.Kathryn shook her head. "No. Krista called me."Chris' expression darkened when he heard Krista's name.Chris found it hard to sympathize with Krista despite how pitiful she was right now. After all, he had hated her for years."What did she say?" Chris asked.Chris harbore
Kathryn had just arrived at the entrance of Skyline Group when her phone rang. She answered the phone call without checking the caller ID."Hello.""It's me," Susan's voice came through the phone.Kathryn immediately frowned. Her grip on her phone tightened. "What is it?""Grandma wants to meet you right now," Susan said coldly.There was no doubt that there was a natural opposition in their coexistence. Susan would still take Kathryn as her enemy even if Kathryn had done nothing.Kathryn believed she had effectively prevented Susan from getting involved with Chris. Yet, it wasn't actually her fault. She had been part of Krista's plan, after all. Susan couldn't be together with Chris even if she didn't exist.Emma, on the other hand, had been indifferent to Kathryn from the start, ever since she became aware of her existence. She acted as if Susan were her biological granddaughter and Kathryn was the one encroaching on Susan's status.Kathryn doubted Emma's intentions of wantin
