Bright Future With Him Chapter 129
However, Jessica was clearly upset with Karen's attitude.When Jessica heard her sister's question, her expression froze. She felt her bitter emotions spreading. Nonetheless, she said, "There's nothing to be concerned about. I'm fine."Although Jessica said she was fine, Kathryn could clearly hear her frustrations about her current situation."All right. Let's go in!" Jessica didn't want to keep talking about this.Kathryn didn't say anything else and followed Jessica into the house. As soon as they entered the house, they saw Wendy watching TV, eating snacks, and laughing. Wendy looked so carefree that Jessica and Kathryn weren't sure if she heard Karen's words just now. Perhaps, she feigned ignorance, not caring about other people shaming her, to gain benefits.Seeing Wendy's devil-may-care attitude, Jessica's expression darkened. She called out sullenly, "Mom."However, Wendy continued to giggle at the TV and eat her snacks as if she didn't hear Jessica.Jessica looked at K

Wendy nodded. "I'm your mother. I should be the one who negotiates these things."Wendy was right. Usually, when someone was getting married, the parents were the ones who negotiated the dowry. However, Kathryn and Wendy weren't as close as a typical mother and daughter."Please don't be angry, Kathryn. I was wrong all these years. I'm telling the truth. My anger had gotten the better of me back then. I should just die!" Wendy said, repeatedly hitting herself in the face. Wendy regretted her actions. If she had known that Kathryn was so promising, she would have kept this girl with her back then. She shouldn't have listened to Gavin or even remarried back then. She should have just raised Kathryn. Now, her child was successful. As her mother, it shouldn't be hard to get some benefits from her success.Kathryn didn't feel a single tinge of emotion from Wendy's apology. She said calmly, "How much dowry do you plan to ask him for?"Seeing that Kathryn didn't object, Wendy stopped

"Dowry? She's asking for a dowry? Which woman in Everburn Highlands would ask for dowries? Such nonsense," Wendy thought.Jessica was coaxing Kelly to sleep when she heard them arguing. She hurriedly came out of the house and asked, "What happened? Why are you arguing?"When Wendy saw Jessica, she pointed angrily at Kathryn before turning back to Jessica and complaining, "Do you think it has been easy for me? Do you? I've worked so hard to raise you all. Do you think that was easy? Now you're asking me for dowries?""Didn't you also ask me for dowry too?" Kathryn sneered.Easy?She talked about how hard it was on her. But who would have it easy in this world?Was she the only one who had it tough? Was it easy for her grandmother, who had raised her?Wendy was infuriated by her response. "I am your mother! You're the one I worked hard to give birth to! Don't I deserve some money?"Wendy still had the guts to speak about what she deserved.Kathryn appeared even angrier.Just as

Wendy's expression froze at Karen's words. "I … Mrs. Quinton, you've got it wrong! It's her!"Karen interrupted, "I don't care what you're planning. But my son, Matthew, is not as foolish as your neighbor's daughter."It's best for you to settle these family matters once and for all. Jessica had married into our family. So, everything will be decided by the Quinton family. You better wake up from those fantasies!"Karen made her words clearer than before.Wendy's face turned pale before turning red as she listened. Although Karen's statement was reasonable, Jessica was still upset at her words.Holding back her anger, Wendy replied, "That's not true, Mrs. Quinton. When Jessica married into your family, our families got united. How could families be divided like that? Don't you think so?" "Who said we'll be one family?" Karen's anger surged instantly.She no longer kept her calm. She fiercely retorted, "In all the years that Jessica has been married into our family, we haven't g

Jessica looked at Wendy blankly as tears streamed down her face. "Are you satisfied now?" she asked."No, Jessica, I …""I'll be divorced tomorrow. Are you happy now?" Jessica cried out in anger.After enduring years of abuse from Wendy, she finally met her breaking point when Karen brought up divorce.Wendy was about to say something before Jessica interrupted, "Are you satisfied now? Are you?""Jessica," Kathryn quickly held her back. She tried to think of something to say to calm her down. However, just thinking about Wendy's actions left her speechless.Wendy added, "I'm not the one who requested your divorce. It's your mother-in-law. She has gone too far!"Seeing Jessica like this, Wendy shifted all the blame onto Karen. Yet, tonight's incident was undoubtedly caused by Wendy's actions. It was all because of her!Jessica slumped onto the ground."Kathryn, you should go back first," she said with a sunken expression.At that moment, Jessica realized that her marriage

Kathryn hadn't expected Jessica's emotions to escalate to such an extent. She was even willing to risk her life to protect Kathryn. Wendy was also taken aback by Jessica's extreme behavior. "Wh-What are you doing? Put the knife down.""Jessica, put the knife down!" Kathryn was also shocked. She looked at Jessica anxiously.Jessica's voice softened as she said, "Kathryn, be a good girl and leave first.""But how can I leave you like this?" Kathryn's voice was strained, almost suffocating."How can I calm down if you're here? Please go, okay?" Jessica regretted calling Kathryn over and not being more assertive earlier. Why had she let Wendy continue to wreak havoc in her life?Seeing Jessica's current state, Kathryn couldn't leave her without worrying. Controlling her tone, she approached Jessica and urged, "My dear sister, please put the knife down.""Leave. I'm begging you. Please go!" Jessica's emotions grew even more turbulent as Kathryn approached. She pressed the knife agai

Kathryn ran out of the narrow alley and saw Chris' car parked under the orange streetlight in the distance. Even though he was quite far away, she could still make out his sharp profile inside the vehicle.The intense scene just moments ago and the current image of Chris waiting for her was the complete opposite. One made her feel suffocated, while the other briefly calmed her emotions.She stumbled into the car. Chris ended his call and glanced at her as she closed the door. He frowned. "What's wrong? You look so pale."Upon saying that, he reached out and touched her forehead. It wasn't feverish, which eased his worry.However, Kathryn's eyes were reddened as she looked at him.Chris was taken aback by her gaze. "What happened?"Kathryn asked, "Have you been waiting here all this time?"Chris nodded and checked his watch. It had been nearly an hour since she went in. He started the car, ready to leave immediately. But Kathryn stopped him. "Wait.""What's the matter?" Chris
Bright Future With Him Chapter 136
Chris let out a sigh and dialed a number on his phone. It was one of the company employees who lived nearby. He instructed them to go and check the situation inside. Seeing him make arrangements warmed up Kathryn's heart.Over the years, no matter what happened, her first thought was always about how to solve the issue. It was because she could only rely on herself. But now, Chris gave her a sense of security she had never had before.After finishing the call, Chris said, "Wait for ten minutes."Kathryn nodded. "Okay."Seeing that Chris wasn't rushing to leave, she felt much more reassured. She was genuinely worried about Jessica. Considering Jessica's trembling figure and the desperation she felt tonight, Kathryn wondered how much pain she must have been in to resort to such actions.On the other hand, Matthew had returned to the house. Wendy wanted to tell Matthew about Karen's actions. Just as Karen came out of the room, a heated argument between the two sides erupted. Finally,

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.
