Bright Future With Him Chapter 1056
Benjamin fell into a thoughtful silence. Was this an attempt at bribery?He recalled Byron as someone who typically refrained from meddling in others' affairs. The way Byron was requesting Phineas didn't seem like a favor for Krista.He remembered that Krista had attempted to seduce Elijah Hunt before she married Franco. However, that was years ago, and Krista hadn't succeeded then. Did Byron still harbor resentment against Krista after all these years? It didn't add up, especially considering the stakes involving the Westland project.Deep in contemplation, Benjamin questioned, "What do you want with Phineas?"Byron didn't answer his question. Instead, he coldly asked, "Are you giving or not?"Benjamin said, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but you know, she stirred up Kat this time, and Kat is not happy right now."Speaking of this, Benjamin felt uneasy. He had yet to figure out how to win Kathryn over when Krista did something so upsetting to her. Recalling K

Kathryn was in the hospital.She entrusted everything to Chris, as she couldn't bring herself to care about Jessica at the moment. Kathryn stayed by Kelly's side, never leaving. Another reason was that she didn't know how to face Jessica.The arrival of several servants from Sunshine Bay spared her the need for constant travel, yet staying with Kelly proved to be a challenging ordeal for her.Observing the unconscious Kelly, Kathryn couldn't shake off the worry regarding the dire prognosis the doctor had conveyed.Her phone buzzed in her bag, but she paid it no heed. A servant then informed her, "Mrs. Albert, your phone is ringing.""Huh?"Snapping back to reality, she retrieved her phone to find Benjamin calling. Upon seeing his name, an instinctual reluctance to answer washed over her.Unwilling to confront people amidst the chaos, she hesitated but eventually picked up. "Hello.""Kat, it's Ben."His unexpectedly gentle tone left her momentarily bewildered.Recalling their

Benjamin could be cruel at times, but his moments of gentleness had the power to warm people's hearts. In contrast, Travis tended to be relatively aloof. Among the Winchester family members, so far, he was the one who made Kathryn feel the most warmth. He wasn't as bothersome.She had been angry when he did that to her in Huber Bay. But now ..."Let's not talk about this for now. I won't force you. I'm calling to ask you something.""What is it?""I have Phineas in custody, but Byron asked me for him. Should I hand him over to Byron?"He approached the matter with gravity, considering both the situation and their interests. Benjamin recognized that Phineas could be a bargaining chip for two projects if Kathryn didn't wish to take out her anger on him. Ultimately, the decision rested on her.Kathryn was surprised to hear that. "Why does Byron want Phineas from you?"Had Krista stirred trouble with Byron again?Kathryn had worked closely with Chris, and Markus had always been b

Island Bay saw the absence of Chris and Kathryn at noon, but Benjamin and Harlet were present.Upon spotting Chloe, Benjamin approached her. "Hello, Grandma."Anticipating Kathryn's presence, Chloe was slightly disappointed when she realized she wasn't there.With a scolding tone, she flicked his forehead, saying, "You rascal! I'll deal with you later.""You should deal with him! Not me!" Benjamin pointed at Harlet.Despite his past mistreatment of Kathryn in Huber Bay, Benjamin had made efforts to make amends once he learned the truth. He knew who his family was, unlike Harlet.Harlet turned a little pale when Benjamin suddenly mentioned him.Aware that Chloe was coming, Harlet had hoped her kind and approachable nature would make it easy for him to ask for help. However, he found himself at a loss for words."Grandma," he called out weakly.Despite residing in the village, Chloe remained well-informed about the happenings in Harborlean.Observing him, Chloe sighed and chose

Travis might have acquired Evelyn's services, but there could be underlying reasons for her decision. Otherwise, why would she make such a choice?Evelyn's cheeks reddened. "You won't be a bother, Grandma. We can take care of you if you stay with us.""I am still as robust as ever. If everything else is out of the question, I choose to stay with Lewis."Lewis was Kathryn's teacher. Interestingly, all of them were somehow connected. Lewis and Chloe shared their school days as classmates, and Lewis had maintained a longstanding friendship with Kathryn's grandmother, Noel Andrews.However, Noel had a strained relationship with Chloe over an extended period. In their youth, Noel and Chloe found themselves at odds while working together to develop the village.The unexpected twist came when, on her deathbed, Noel had to entrust the granddaughter she had raised to Lewis.…Kathryn was at the hospital, and Benjamin paid her a visit in the afternoon, even bringing along afternoon tea.

Chris arrived to take Kathryn home in the evening. Kathryn had spent all her time worrying about Jessica. Now, she had Kelly to worry about, too.They had arranged help to care for both.However, even with the support in place, Kelly's recent incident had left Kathryn unable to pacify her anxious heart. If she could, she would prefer to stay at the hospital around the clock."You've come to take me home?""Yes.""I don't want to go." Kathryn couldn't believe that Chris was here to bring her home. How could she leave the hospital now?There might be ample assistance available, but she feared something might happen to Kelly if no one noticed her waking up."A dozen people are caring for Kelly now.""I'm still worried.""You're worried? What if you collapse? What are Kelly and Jessica supposed to do, then? Furthermore, the dozen people would need to step in to help if that were the case."Kathryn was rendered speechless.Chris asked Tara to handpick this group of people caref

Travis had once believed that in emotionally and intellectually challenging situations, Harlet outshone Benjamin. However, it now appeared that Harlet had faltered in both respects.Travis pondered how Harlet managed to survive and thrive in his social circles, speculating that wealth might be the dominant factor."Travis!""Who is she for me to care about? She has nothing to do with me, dead or alive."Harlet was left speechless, his pallid face losing any remaining color.He looked at Travis in disbelief. He never expected Travis to be so harsh with his words. Travis didn't think Susan was worth a second of his breath. He saw Susan as less than an object.Harlet couldn't believe his brother, Travis."Get out!" Travis shouted fiercely, his voice carrying an unprecedented sense of danger.If Chloe weren't here, Travis wouldn't have let Harlet in.Those people must have spoiled Harlet over the years. He had lost his values and principles.Faced with Travis' menacing tone, Harl
Bright Future With Him Chapter 1063
Now, Harlet might have been at his wits' end. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so persistent with Travis.Travis threw him out and warned him against returning to Island Bay, or he would beat him up. When Travis returned, Evelyn remained rooted in the same spot.He set aside his cold demeanor and went to her. He fixed Evelyn's hair, which had been messed up by the wind. "Did I scare you?"Evelyn said, "T-That was your brother.""That rascal is being a rebellious nuisance. He deserved it," Travis said lightly.Evelyn was rendered speechless. She didn't believe a grown man like Harlet deserved to be beaten up for acting like a rebellious child.Observing how Travis dealt with Harlet made her think about their future child. However, she kept her concerns to herself, fearing Travis' reaction.Judging by his temper, he might beat their child if they misbehaved."What's on your mind?" Travis noticed Evelyn's silence and inquired gently.Evelyn regained her senses and looked at him tentat

After leaving the Hunt residence, Tally made her way directly to Victor's company.Worried she might lose her way, Drew had been waiting downstairs in anticipation of her arrival.When Tally saw Victor, her face lit up with joy."You should've seen Mr. Hunt Senior's expression earlier. He looked like he wanted to eat me alive." Tally couldn't help but laugh.Victor reached for her hand as they sat down on the couch together. "Were you scared?" he asked.As Tally sat down, she casually looked back and noticed a framed photograph on Victor's desk.Out of curiosity, she picked it up and examined it. But with just one glance, she froze in surprise."When... when was this taken?" she asked. Her shock was evident as she turned to Victor.The picture was taken back when they were at Beverly Peak, during his hospital stay after being bitten by a wolf.She remembered looking after him until she herself fell asleep.In the picture, her eyes were closed, her expression peaceful.Victor

What made it even more absurd was that Elijah bought into it, too.Tally couldn't believe Elijah couldn't see through Markus' façade. He actually bought into Markus' excuse that his behavior was all because of her.And now he was acting like he'd rather die than leave her."Fucking hell," Tally muttered inwardly. She wondered who came up with this messed-up plan for Markus.Clearly, Tally couldn't quite grasp how Markus' mental state could deteriorate like this. However, given his history of going insane, this outrageous plan didn't seem entirely implausible.He was perfectly fine when he was with Albert Group, so how did he end up like this back at Skyline Group?Tally just couldn't figure it out.Elijah shot her a sharp look, gritting his teeth as he said, "You, leave!"Zane hesitated, saying, "Sir, but…""Just let her leave!" Elijah insisted.Elijah's words were punctuated by short, hurried breaths.Tally nodded, saying, "Mr. Hunt Senior, you're indeed the more rational o

Elijah and Zane glanced at each other. Then, their stares turned sharper as they both fixed their eyes on Tally.Tally swallowed nervously. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?""You're not even married to Victor, so why are you calling yourself a married woman?" Elijah snapped, his anger evident.Tally remained silent.Observing Elijah's furious expression, she nonchalantly rummaged through her bag, retrieving the marriage certificate and wedding invitation.Then, she handed them over to Zane.Zane took the documents and swiftly flipped them open. His eyes widened in disbelief as he read through them.He promptly handed both documents over to Elijah.As Elijah took them and examined them, his expression darkened significantly upon seeing Tally and Victor's marriage certificate.He was shocked when he saw that their wedding date was today, along with the printed timestamp.In that instant, Elijah's breathing grew heavier.He glared at Tally with an

Tally was completely baffled by what was happening."I've been straightforward about my feelings for him," Tally complained under her breath.From her perspective, if something were to happen to Markus now, she shouldn't be blamed solely for her decision to get married. Victor nodded, saying, "Yeah, I know."Victor had always been aware of this. By now, Markus had become such a puzzle that Victor couldn't quite figure him out.Considering how clear Tally had always been about her feelings toward Markus, it was puzzling how he got himself involved in this mess.This time, Victor didn't accompany Tally to the Hunt Residence. He believed she could handle the Hunt family on her own.The atmosphere at the Hunt residence was incredibly tense at the moment.The moment Tally stepped inside, she could practically feel the frost coming off Elijah. His gaze seemed to pierce right through her.Zane's tone was far from pleasant as he said, "Um, take a look at this."With that, he passed

Tally was pretty happy a moment ago. But now, she was all worked up talking about the Hunts.Earlier on the road, Tally filled Victor in on the phone call she received from the Hunt residence.Victor's lips twitched as he heard the news. "So Markus left a suicide note and vanished?""Exactly. Can you believe the trouble he's stirring up now?" Tally shook her head incredulously.Tally was utterly exasperated with Markus by now. It had been a while since this whole thing started.She had to admit, these days had been incredibly "fulfilling" for her. It was so fulfilling that it almost left her reeling.And it wasn't just Tally struggling to keep up. Even Victor had been taken aback by how things were unfolding.He shot Tally a look of disbelief. "So you're going to the Hunt residence now?""Yeah, I'm going. I want those Hunts to know that I'm officially yours. Let's see if they have more shameless tricks up their sleeves."When it came to describing the Hunts, Tally summed it up

Tally was beginning to see where Markus got his persistent nature from. It ran in the family. It was as the saying went—like father, like son.No sooner had she ended the call, the phone rang again.Tally took a deep breath, reminding herself that today was supposed to be a happy day, not one filled with annoyance.But dealing with these people…After giving it some thought, she hesitantly answered, "Zane!""Ms. Johnson, you might want to come over to the Hunt residence."Tally asked, "What's going on now?"She was almost out of patience with these people.Zane explained, "Mr. Markus left behind a suicide note."Tally's expression froze in disbelief.A suicide note? Tally couldn't comprehend what was happening. She wondered if Markus was pulling another one of his stunts.It had only been less than an hour since Elijah arranged his marriage, and now he went ahead and left a suicide note."Where is he?" Tally raised an eyebrow.With everything happening so quickly, it all f

Looking at her identification papers, Tally let out a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Tally had some knowledge of her father's habits. Otherwise, guessing the password for the safe, which belonged to her comatose father, would have been a daunting task.When Irina called, Tally answered, "Hey, Irina.""Guess what? Markus is engaged!""What?" Tally was shocked.Irina shared her surprise."This time, it seems Mr. Hunt Senior might genuinely have it out for you. We haven't even made a move, and suddenly they're announcing Markus and Sarah's engagement.""Sarah?" Tally was even more surprised.It was only today that they found out who had been secretly admiring Markus. Before they could even step in, Elijah had taken the initiative.It seemed like all these years, Elijah appeared unconcerned, but he actually knew everything.But if he was dead set on hating her, then so be it. Tally couldn't care less.On the other hand, if Elijah truly desired for her and Markus to be together all

Elijah said, "Very well, then."Thinking about his troublesome son, Elijah wondered how he hadn't noticed Markus' extremity in his romantic pursuits before.Elijah was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath.Giving Markus a fierce look, he tried to hold back. Despite that, he couldn't resist putting in one final word, "No matter how much you want to be with Tally, I won't allow it."This time, there was no room for negotiation.At Elijah's words, Markus' eyes turned cold. "I'm afraid you have no say in this.""You..." Elijah's breath hitched as he heard Markus' retort. In a fit of rage, he grabbed a teacup and hurled it toward him.At that moment, Elijah felt an overwhelming urge to lash out at Markus.Elijah insisted, "Regardless of your decision, you and Sarah are officially engaged starting today."His tone was unusually firm.At this point, Elijah wasn't asking for Markus' opinion. He was simply informing him.Regarding Tally becoming Elijah's daughter-in-law, Elijah

Kathryn was confused when Jessica suddenly shoved her into the car and promptly closed the door. With her hand still gripping the door handle, Kathryn looked up at Jessica and suggested, "Uh, how about dinner tonight?"Upon hearing Kathryn's dinner suggestion, Jessica paused before nodding and responding, "Let's talk about it later. I'll give you a call."Jessica seemed really busy, and Kathryn could tell from the way she talked that she was in a rush.Kathryn couldn't help but feel for Jessica as she watched her close the car door and hurried off toward the nearby office building, waving goodbye as she went.Kathryn found herself wondering who Jessica was in such a rush to meet.Kathryn couldn't resist stealing a glance back as the car pulled away. In that brief moment, Kathryn's heart skipped a beat as she saw Jessica walking alongside Lloyd. They were heading toward the glass doors of the building.Before Kathryn could double-check what she saw, the car had already turned.
