Now, Jessica realized that problems solvable with money were the more manageable ones. However, in her current situation, money couldn't provide a solution. Consequently, she declined Kathryn's offer to help and chose to face the challenges head-on.While Jessica grappled with her unfavorable circumstances, Tally was navigating through a set of problems of her own.Upon returning to the office after lunch with Victor, Tally discovered her desk adorned with flowers. Frowning, Tally asked Irina, "What is going on?""They are from Mr. Markus," Irina replied to Tally, struggling to contain her laughter. Her shoulders trembled from the effort.Tally's mind went blank as she stared at the colorful carnations on her desk. The previous day, Markus had caused a scene at Serenity Heights. Now, he was gifting her flowers.What was he trying to do? Having failed to win her favor, it now appeared as though he was actively wishing misfortune upon her."And you let him do this?" Tally gritted h

Markus wasn't inclined to back down or swallow his frustration over something this provocative. He didn't want to say anything else.Markus' cold and intimidating expression discouraged Henry from attempting to dissuade him. Swallowing his words, Henry turned to leave. Hesitatingly, he spoke before departing, "A-Are you sure you want to send them?""20,000 flowers!" Markus declared, leaving Henry utterly speechless. Henry had intended to seek clarification, but the shock of Markus' response silenced him, prompting a hasty exit from the office.Markus didn't know why Tally sent that many carnations over. Regardless, he couldn't bear the humiliation.Before the end of the workday, the Johnson Group found itself inundated with 20,000 carnations. The office space proved insufficient, leading the reception hall downstairs and the entrance to be submerged in a sea of flowers.Upon concluding their conversation, Tally and Sean emerged from the office. As Tally opened the door, she was

Markus, seething with anger, could no longer contain his fury as the thought consumed him. "Why would I want anything from that slut?" he snapped, forcefully shaking off Byron's hand.Byron winced at Markus's response, his head throbbing with confusion.What did he mean by that statement?Trying to understand, Byron asked amidst Markus's evident rage, "Are you sure you don't want anything from her?"Markus ignored the question, stormed into the car, and sped away, the engine roaring like an arrow released from a bow.Observing Markus's intense fury, Byron realized he was heading to confront Tally and give her a piece of his mind.Byron's head ached with the unfolding situation.Jonathan and Henry stood in shock, watching the scene play out. Their worried gazes turned to Byron.Addressing Henry, Byron scolded, "Why the hell are you still standing here? Get your ass there and stop him."Henry felt a jolt of surprise at Byron's command. The idea of stopping Markus weighed heavily

Henry was convinced that Markus had completely lost his sanity. Moreover, he was determined not to be pulled into the madness.As Markus, on the other end of the line, received the news of Henry's fruitless search, a chill crept into his demeanor. "Nothing at all?"Henry replied, "I found absolutely nothing. It feels like there's a deliberate effort to block me, like someone is intentionally preventing me from finding out."Markus speculated if Victor was the obstacle. It seemed plausible, given Victor's clear opposition to Tally's involvement with him. It made sense if Victor didn't want Markus to find out.Markus fell silent, a heavy pause in his breath.Concerned, Henry asked, "What's your plan now?""Keep digging. I don't care how you do it, but you must find that slut tonight," Markus growled. Henry was left speechless. Given Markus' actions, it was hard not to think he wasn't intentionally seeking trouble."Mr. Markus, Ms. Johnson is Mr. Glenn's fiancée. This doesn't s

The predicament continued as Markus unwittingly exacerbated the unusual situation, taking it too seriously. To make matters worse, he went to the extent of filling Tally's office with carnations.Upon receiving Elijah's instruction, Zane promptly called Markus.Despite Elijah and Zane being the catalysts for everything that unfolded today, Markus didn't see it that way.Markus promptly answered the call. "Mr. Uther!""Mr. Markus, I need to tell you something."'What's up?"Markus was still at Serenity Heights. He had used the Hunt family's influence to find out Victor and Tally's whereabouts.Zane turned back to Elijah, speaking softly, "I think you've misunderstood Ms. Johnson. You shouldn't have done that."Markus, bewildered, couldn't fathom why Zane would make such a statement. They were well aware of Tally's actions, yet Zane seemingly expected Markus to overlook them.Markus contemplated a retort but deemed it unnecessary to engage in a dispute with Zane. However, before
