Henry believed he had made a mistake and was contemplating self-reproach. The desire to slap himself overwhelmed him.Markus, consumed by rage, was eager to confront Tally immediately and discern her thoughts."I think you should stop being mad about it. I'm sure Ms. Johnson wouldn't want to see you," Henry said."Is she reluctant to meet me because of Victor?"Henry, at a loss for words, grappled with how to convey the information to Markus.The Glenns were the ones truly responsible for the harm inflicted on the Hunts. However, Markus' impulsive actions had rendered everything futile. Uncertain of what to say, Henry recognized Markus' tendency to forget when enraged.Meanwhile, Tally was seething with anger. Victor came back at 11:00 pm after being away for around three hours since he left at 8:00 pm.Observing Tally's frustration, Victor inquired, "What's bothering you?""Markus Hunt!" Tally exclaimed through gritted teeth.Markus was the only one who could get under her

Despite the urgency of the situation, Chris prioritized comforting Kathryn, who was in his arms, before addressing anything else. With Kathryn in his embrace, he couldn't imagine anyone willingly getting out of bed at such a late hour.Chris was annoyed with Markus. He thought it was downright outrageous for Markus to try and take someone else's partner right in their own home just because Markus couldn't find a partner for himself.Chris believed that Markus was the one to blame for not handling Tally's situation properly. Seeing things spiral out of control, he thought Markus should have refrained from making a fuss about it any further. Persuading Markus seemed like an impossible task."Goodnight. I'll be back in a little while.""Is it because of Tally?" Kathryn lifted her head and asked."Most likely. Markus had gone to Serenity Heights. Tally's staying there with Victor."Understanding the situation through Chris' explanation, Kathryn didn't anticipate Markus being so persi

Tally undeniably portrayed the traits of a businessman's daughter, willing to abandon anything for profit.In the pursuit of gain, she appeared to have conveniently forgotten the recent torment Markus had subjected her to.Chris and Byron couldn't help but speculate on Markus' level of irritation once he discovered that Tally had managed to gain the upper hand.…The chaos had finally ended. Once Chris left, Victor took Tally into his arms and questioned, "Why would you trade yourself for just two projects?""I actually only wanted Project Barrie, actually. The West Peak Project was unexpected, wasn't it?" Tally murmured.She had stayed silent when Byron mentioned the West Peak Project but readily agreed when he brought up the Barrie. Irina had mentioned the project a couple of times recently, and Tally knew it held significant potential.Victor remained displeased. "Well, Byron might have raised the stakes again if you hadn't agreed, wouldn't he?"Knowing the Hunts' tendency

Markus shouted, "Henry Brand!"Henry responded, "Yes, Mr. Hunt?" "What are you standing there for? Fight them!" Markus growled.Henry, who had just let out a sigh of relief, felt an instant wave of helplessness upon hearing Markus' words. Speechless, Henry grappled with the realization that Markus wasn't merely unafraid of death but also intended for him to sacrifice his life alongside Markus.Despite their actions being supposedly for Markus' happiness, Henry couldn't perceive it as true happiness. In his view, they were simply playing with fire. …Markus was forcefully brought into the Hunt residence in the dark of the night, the clock ticking past 2:00 am. Elijah, dressed in white silk pajamas, displayed impatience, clearly disrupted from his sleep.Expressing his displeasure at Markus' being in his room at such late an hour, Elijah remarked, "Seems like you've found some newfound energy."Reflecting on Markus' seemingly well-behaved demeanor during his years at the Albe

Zane nodded. "Okay, go to sleep, sir. Don't let the younger one bother you."Elijah sighed. "He was so compliant for the past few years. Now, he's stirring up trouble again."He was talking about Markus.Elijah's primary concern was Markus, who exhibited inconsistency. Markus could be incredibly charming when he listened to Elijah, but when his temper flared, he became a source of considerable stress for Elijah.…The entire night was marked by complete chaos. Whenever Elijah was present, Markus stirred up trouble, attempting to leave on two separate occasions. However, Zane intervened, preventing him and forcibly seating him in the living hall.Despite his reluctance, Markus had to acknowledge his fault and face the consequences.…Kathryn wasn't at Serenity Heights the previous night, so she called Tally first thing in the morning.Tally answered promptly. "Kat.""You're up. Wasn't it utter chaos last night? Why didn't you sleep longer?" Kathryn asked.Tally didn't sound
