Bright Future With Him Chapter 1279
Nevertheless, Kathryn found this particular coldness from Jessica not at all bothersome. Taking a deep breath, Kathryn stated, "I won't be going.""Kathryn, I just hope you're okay. You're the only one who is doing well by my side," Jessica's voice carried a tone of resignation.Tears welled up in Kathryn's eyes upon hearing Jessica's words. "You don't have to worry about me. Actually, I—""Talk to you later. I've got something else to do." Jessica abruptly hung up, perhaps anticipating what Kathryn was about to say.Kathryn could hardly breathe when she heard the disconnected tone. She recollected what Jessica had told her before. Jessica had emphasized that she and Kelly were the most important people in her life. Discovering the identity of Kelly's father and her own mother wouldn't alter the fact that Kathryn and Kelly held that paramount place. That explained Jessica's reluctance to involve Kathryn in Byron's affairs; she was content and reassured by Kathryn's current well

Moreover, it was Krista who was responsible for Kelly's current state, making her actions utterly unforgivable.Tally sighed. "Oh, gosh. I can't believe it turned out like this."She expressed irritation at the unfolding events. "What kind of grudges does Byron have against Krista that he needs to make a deal with Jessica?"Kathryn fell silent. Nobody knew what kind of grudges there was between Byron and Krista either.Tally continued before Kathryn could respond, "But many people in Harborlean consider her their enemy because of how ruthless she was back then. I guess it's not surprising if the Hunts also have grievances against her."While she wasn't aware of the specifics of the grudges, Tally believed they must be significant since Byron and Jessica had joined forces."Forget about it. Krista deserves it even if her own daughter is hurting her," Tally pondered and said. Her impression of Krista was far from positive, given Krista's attempts on Kathryn's life in the past.Ta

Observing Kathryn's confusion, Tally continued, "Jessica may appear gentle, but that demeanor is reserved solely for you. She wouldn't continue tolerating things indefinitely if she could divorce Matthew.Kathryn was left dumbfounded, her heart pounding in her chest.Kathryn recalled that Jessica had initiated the divorce. Despite being fully aware of the challenges that came with single-handedly caring for Kelly, Jessica didn't dwell on it much in that particular moment.Concern for Jessica lingered in Kathryn's mind, deepening after her conversation with Tally. She acknowledged that, like the Glenns, the Hunts had a questionable history during their early years in Harborlean.If Jessica truly intended to seek revenge on Byron, Kathryn believed the former would only be futilely fighting. "Kat? Kathryn?" Tally waved her hand before Kathryn's eyes, noticing her increasingly pallid face. Kathryn snapped back to reality instantly, looking toward Tally with a numb expression. "Wh

Krista felt stifled as she locked eyes with Jessica's icy gaze."Never approach me again. I don't want to see you, and I refuse to acknowledge our relationship," Jessica declared with a chilling demeanor. Krista was left in shock, a suffocating tension settling over her. Hearing such words from the child she had sought for years was more tormenting than she could have imagined. Over the years, she had envisioned the reunion with her daughter countless times, planning ways to mend their relationship and express her love.Never had she fathomed that her daughter had been close all this time. Yet, Krista had unknowingly been inflicting pain upon her daughter and even endangering her own granddaughter."It's understandable if you don't want to see me, but please don't get into harm's way because of me.""'Harming myself because of you'? Do you believe you deserve such consideration?" Jessica's tone turned colder as she mocked Krista's thoughts. Jessica's few words inflicted more

Krista was ready to comply with any request and pay any price Jessica demanded, just as long as she agreed to step away from Byron and forge her own path. But at that moment, reality hit Krista hard—Jessica couldn't. Byron was about to get engaged to Cindy, a move driven by a sinister motive to exact revenge on Krista. He had ensnared Jessica in an abyss of his making, and it was all part of the Hunts' plan for payback.Krista suspected that Jessica's compliance was somehow tied to Kelly. If that was the case, Krista knew what needed to be done. She closed her eyes and spoke with a chilling resolve, "Find out where Kelly is now."David nodded. "Alright."They had initially dismissed the idea of searching for Kelly, assuming Byron wouldn't harm his own flesh and blood. However, it became clear that Kelly was the key to saving Jessica."Keep an eye on the Neils as well. Make sure they don't stir up any trouble for me right now." Krista's tone carried a cold edge when mentioning the

Krista believed none of them had the right to dictate the terms if Byron wanted to discuss the matter. As Byron wasn't Jessica, confronting him didn't stir any guilt in Krista.Byron lapsed into silence. Just as his remark about Krista almost taking Kelly's life had provoked her, his complexion paled when Krista mentioned Kelly's depression."If we're discussing the harm inflicted on Kelly, we share equal responsibility," Krista asserted, convinced that Kelly's leap from the building was driven by depression. This behavior, she thought, stemmed from facing overwhelming adversity.Softening her tone, Krista met Byron's pained gaze. "Come after me if you hate me. Let Jessica go. Let her be with Kelly."Her words were calm, containing a touch of pleading yet carrying an undertone of toughness. It wasn't just a final concession. It was also an ultimatum to Byron. Observing Byron's continued silence, Krista pressed on, "I'll pay whatever price you demand." Krista intended to ensur
Bright Future With Him Chapter 1285
Exiting Byron's office, Krista encountered Jessica, who was en route to deliver some documents.A pang of anguish crossed Krista's steely gaze when she saw Jessica. Surprised by Krista's sudden presence, their eyes locked momentarily. However, Jessica swiftly averted her gaze in a fleeting glance.A chill of cold indifference emanated from her. Krista couldn't help but feel that they were complete strangers.Despite feeling suffocated, Krista suppressed the weight in her heart, knowing it wasn't the time to concede defeat. If Byron intended any harm to Jessica, he would have to contend with her.Leaving the Skyline Group, Krista entered the car and addressed David, seated in the driver's position. "Inform the Neils that they will be held responsible if anything befalls Jessica now."Aware of the Neils' cunning nature, Krista suspected they had discovered Jessica's true identity. She couldn't guarantee they wouldn't act against Jessica to secure Cindy's marriage to Byron at this
Bright Future With Him Chapter 1286
Krista's response held a resolute certainty.David nodded.Returning to the Hunt residence for the sake of Jessica was something Krista hadn't anticipated after so many years. The idea that their connection hadn't completely severed, even after the events of the past, was beyond her imagination.…Byron maintained silence after summoning Jessica into the office, quietly smoking a cigarette. Jessica, displaying indifference, occupied a chair across from him. After a long while, she calmly stated, "I'm leaving if there's nothing else."Swiftly standing up, she received a cold glance from Byron, who intended to say something but opted to bite his tongue."Where are you living now?" he calmly asked as Jessica's hand touched the door handle."What does this have to do with our deal?" Jessica retorted. Byron was rendered speechless by her retort. With that, Jessica opened the door and exited his office. Jessica wasn't residing at Cloudshade or Sunshine Bay. Since Kelly's depar

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
Bright Future With Him Chapter 1338
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.
