Tally went quiet. It was as if she was struck dumb by the situation.Her father had gone missing, and no one had a clue about how it happened."But wait, he's in a vegetative state. How can he disappear just like that?"How could a person without even basic self-care abilities vanish like this?Tally refused to accept the current reality.Irina also wore a serious expression. But the truth was, she too, had just received the news, and the specifics remained unclear.Upon discovering Randall's disappearance, her immediate response was to dispatch personnel for a thorough investigation.…The two of them rushed to the hospital, and Victor arrived ahead of them.By the time they got there, Victor was already in the ward. Spotting Tally, he walked briskly toward her.The doctors and nurses were also present.Even the hospital director was there. The entire ward now carried a solemn atmosphere."What's going on? How can someone just vanish?" Tally asked urgently, her eyes dartin
When Irina and Victor heard that Tally was going to fix the surveillance footage herself, they were both shocked. It was obvious they had no idea Tally had this skill.The damage to the video seemed significant. It was as if the person behind the damage knew Victor had a bunch of tech experts on his side.But such damage for Tally was a piece of cake. In less than five minutes, she had it completely restored.Seeing Tally's skill, Victor suddenly understood why Chris was after her.Apparently, neither Brian nor Lance could fix the video from that night.Now Victor finally understood why it was impossible to repair. The person behind the damage was a pro herself.There was no way Chris would let himself be outsmarted by someone close. He was definitely going to put Tally in her place. "Wait, why does that guy look so familiar?" Tally furrowed her brows while watching the surveillance footage.Victor replied, "That's Zane, the butler from the Hunt residence."As Victor mentio
Markus gave Elijah a call.Elijah quickly picked up, saying, "Hello.""Tally already knows everything. She's on her way to find you.""What? That was fast." Elijah was surprised."But her reaction might not be what you're expecting," Markus warned in a serious tone.After Markus said that, there was a brief silence on the phone.Elijah looked puzzled. "She didn't even beg you?"The way Elijah saw it, once Tally learned that her father had been taken, she would undoubtedly be in a state of panic.If the Glenns couldn't find Randall, considering Tally's past actions, she would likely seek help from more people. Sooner or later, she would be pleading for assistance from his own son, Markus.Till then…But Elijah never saw this coming. Even though it had only been one night, Tally already knew everything.It seemed like Victor had some skilled people on his side. Repairing the surveillance footage damaged by his man, Lincoln Adams, so quickly was quite surprising."Beg? She mi
Tally steadied herself, suppressing the storm of emotions within.Her words cut through the air, "I'll ask just once. Where's my father?"Elijah raised an eyebrow, sensing the tension emanating from Tally.His piercing gaze met Tally's. "You think you get to threaten an old man like me, huh?""Oh, so you're aware you're just an old geezer? Getting up there in years and still not worth a damn, huh?" Tally shot back. Elijah was too stunned to speak. Victor and Zane entered the room right after. Upon hearing Tally's blunt insult toward Elijah, both couldn't help but twitch their lips.Even Elijah was momentarily left in disbelief."You audacious little brat! Y-You…"In the heat of the moment, Tally couldn't hold back her emotions and lashed out at Elijah, questioning his decency despite his age. This fell significantly short of the respectful manner one should be when addressing an elder."Want to hear some nice words? You've thrown my dad into God-knows-where, and now you exp
Zane couldn't help but facepalm after Elijah's straightforward statement. It seemed Markus had truly mastered the art of embarrassing himself.Meanwhile, Markus remained oblivious to the fact that his father, Elijah, had just made a fool of him.Tally took a deep breath as she listened. She was finding the situation almost laughable.Even though Tally had a rough idea of what was going on when Elijah took Randall away, she was still taken aback when faced with the actual moment.She scoffed at Elijah, saying, "You want me to have lunch with your son?""Yes, starting today, you two will date and try to get to know each other," Elijah said sternly, not caring that Victor, Tally's fiancé, was also in the room.Victor's eyes flashed with coldness as he gave Elijah a chilling look.Tally chuckled mockingly, "You're asking me to understand your son, but you're resorting to using threats?""I don't care about the methods. I just want results!" Elijah exclaimed. Tally's remark left E
Victor's words left Elijah and Zane tense.Even though they hadn't personally witnessed how much blood Victor had on his hands in his early years, the prevalent rumors provided a clear picture.However, Tally decided to add fuel to the fire and said, "I don't see why not. There are plenty of despicable people in this world worthy of devouring."Her emphasis on "despicable people" was unmistakable. It was evident she was reminding Elijah that Markus was the person she despised the most.In response to Elijah's initial threat, she, with Victor's collaboration, fired back with an array of threats.Tally and Victor left together.Elijah looked at Zane in disbelief. "Did Tally just threaten me?""Yes, sir!" Zane affirmed.Hearing Zane's reply, Elijah felt an extra knot tighten in his throat. He was feeling thoroughly displeased."Her father is in my hands, yet she still dares to threaten me?""Yes, sir!" Zane nodded again.Elijah was so frustrated that it felt like his head was t
In the car, Tally took a deep breath. Victor's audacious act of igniting the fire at the Hunt residence had provided an unexpected release. However, a hint of panic crept in.Victor pulled her into his arms, asking, "Feeling better now?"Tally was startled by his remark. She awkwardly glanced at Victor, asking, "Is it really okay for us to do this?"A mischievous glint danced in Victor's eyes as he posed a tantalizing question, "Want something even more extreme?""Wait. There is?" Tally was shocked, looking up from Victor's embrace.She thought setting fire to the Hunt residence's main gate was already quite extreme. Little did she know, Victor had an even more extreme idea in mind.Victor nodded, playfully tapping her nose. "Yes, but for such a ruthless deed, you'll have to do it yourself."Tally asked, "And what would that ruthless deed be?"At that moment, surprise mingled with curiosity within her. She wondered what kind of intense and devious task Victor was proposing for
As Victor had highlighted, the situation wouldn't reach a resolution unless Tally complied with marrying Markus. Nevertheless, the idea of marrying him remained firmly off the table.Recalling Markus' troubling actions, particularly those involving Randall and the incident where he compelled her to apologize to Yvonne, her perception of his character lay shattered.Committing herself to someone with such a problematic track record was simply unthinkable for Tally."But hey, let me assure you about one thing," Victor said as Tally nodded.Intrigued, Tally asked, "What's that?""It's regarding the incident from earlier when you confronted Mr. Hunt Senior," Victor clarified.Tally went silent, trying to process this unexpected piece of information. She began to reconsider her actions from earlier.As she pondered that particular instance, she came to the realization that she might have depicted herself in a somewhat abrasive light.Feeling conflicted, Tally turned to Victor and as
