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

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

Tally went silent. The realization sank in—she truly had to face this alone!Anticipating Elijah's inevitable wrath upon discovering her interference with his family's sacred resting place, Tally prepared herself for the storm that would follow. This audacious move promised to provide Elijah with a crystal-clear insight into her character. It would appear as the most assertive response she could muster."Can't we find another way?" Tally asked. "No other method carries the same level of intimidation! Besides, if you go ahead with this, Mr. Hunt Senior is bound to harbor an even stronger dislike for you," Victor responded.The term "intimidation" triggered memories of Elijah's shameless threat from earlier. Yes, it was indeed shameless.How could a father intervene in his son's romantic pursuit in such a manner? Not only did he intervene, but he also resorted to such extreme measures. Since they were willing to take such actions, they should be prepared to face the consequences

Zane just felt like explaining to Markus and Byron that Victor was the one who set fire to the main gate. But before he could say anything, Elijah gave him this disapproving look.Having served alongside Elijah for many years, the two shared an unspoken understanding. And just like that, Zane decided to stay quiet."You can't be with her, that she-devil," Elijah reiterated. Elijah appeared visibly drained. Clearly, the sight of the main gate ablaze had greatly infuriated him. He had barely calmed down when the landline started ringing. Zane hurriedly answered the phone. "Hello, this is the Hunt residence.""What? Who did this?" Zane was visibly shocked, his face turning pale. As the phone call continued, Zane's narrowed gaze shifted toward Elijah. A wave of unease swept through the room, indicating the growing concern shared by all present.Byron's gaze bore into Markus, who couldn't shake the feeling that Tally might have done something outrageous again. "Could she have do

"Doesn't this risk causing serious trouble?" Tally raised her head, giving Victor a pitiful look.That was the Hunt family's burial ground, after all. Thinking about it now, Tally couldn't shake off the feeling that Victor might have tricked her into doing something really wrong.Victor observed her timid demeanor and chuckled, "Your dad's in their hands, and you're still thinking about being scared?""Of course, I'm scared."She had gone as far as disturbing someone's grave. If Elijah were to find out, any chance of him liking her would vanish, and there was no way he would let her become part of the Hunts family.And frankly, she wasn't interested in that anyway.They had achieved their goal. Was it possible for her to evade accountability for her actions after committing such an act?Elijah was a ruthless man, too.Could this be taking things too far, provoking them to the point where they would want to resort to violence?Victor ruffled her hair and said, "Relax, even
