Bright Future With Him Chapter 1292
Despite Jessica's attempts to resist, Cindy's strength prevailed. Jessica's efforts to exert force only deepened the wound on her palm.Through gritted teeth, Cindy said, "I'm not married to him yet, but you want to take my place, huh? Where did you get the guts to do that?"Byron, having forgotten his phone, returned to his office and opened the door. His eyes widened at the scene before him. Meanwhile, Jonathan returned with the first-aid kit, witnessing the shocking events unfold.Breaking the tension, Jonathan addressed Cindy, "You're here, Ms. Neils."Cindy turned her attention to the office entrance, her body stiffening upon seeing Byron. She removed her foot from Jessica's hand, pretending nothing had happened."Byron, you're back. Where did you go?" Cindy's tone now resembled that of a gentle dove, a stark contrast to her arrogance toward Jessica.Byron frowned at Cindy, then shifted his gaze to Jessica, who was attempting to rise. A deep cut on her palm was visible, with

Jessica instinctively hid her hand behind her back and said, "I'm okay. I will handle it myself."Concerned, Jonathan deepened his tone, emphasizing, "Do you know how much blood you lost in there?"In that instant, Jessica keenly sensed the pain in her hand. There was a saying that even the smallest parts of a person's body were linked to the heart, and now, Jessica truly understood its reality. The pain in her palm seemed to reverberate in her heart, creating an unbearable burning sensation.Eventually, Jonathan escorted Kathryn downstairs.As anticipated, Jessica was severely injured. Jonathan urged her to extend her palm, but she could barely move it, already experiencing excruciating pain.They discovered fragments of shattered glass embedded in the wound. The sight was unbearable, prompting even someone as composed as Jonathan to gasp.He sighed and advised, "You should get this treated at the hospital. I think you need surgical pincers to extract the fragments."Uncertain

Jonathan felt a chill as he met Byron's icy gaze, but he pressed on, stating, "She is still the mother of your child."Even though Jessica was Krista's daughter, that didn't change the fact that she was Kelly's mother. Even if Byron had no desire to see Jessica or the still-unconscious Kelly, he shouldn't have crossed certain boundaries."So, you feel for her, huh?" Byron asked coldly.Jonathan froze at his question. How he felt for her wasn't the point. "Anyone would empathize with her situation, no?"Jonathan was right. No one in the Skyline Group thought Jessica's predicament was funny. What happened to Jessica and Kelly was no secret.When Jessica married Matthew, she was oblivious to the identity of her child's father, leading to her becoming a subject of mockery by some.Eventually, she discovered that Byron was the father, a truth that remained concealed for numerous years. Only those lacking compassion would find amusement in such a situation.Jonathan was right. Anyo

At a noon rendezvous in a restaurant, Jessica met with Kendall. Despite the passage of many years, she instantly recognized him the moment she entered the restaurant.Kendall spotted her, and a silent exchange of glances ensued, both seemingly at a loss for words. The prolonged separation made the reunion somewhat awkward.She smiled. "It's been years, and you haven't changed one bit.""Well, you have changed," Kendall remarked as he poured her a glass of water with care.Jessica expressed gratitude and reached for the glass, but her right hand, wrapped in a bandage, caught Kendall's attention.The smile on Kendall's face faltered. "What happened to your hand?""I injured it. Accidentally cut myself. It's a small matter," she said leisurely as if she was unbothered by everything that had happened in the office earlier.Kendall frowned. "What do you do for work? How did you hurt your hand?"Jessica said, "I'm a secretary. I'd cut myself while wrapping old utility blades for disp

Having been engrossed in an overseas experiment for several years, Kendall finally returned and headed straight to Everburns Highlands. The sight of two girls clad in tattered clothing pierced his heart like a needle, a haunting image from the years gone by."How is Kathryn doing?"What Jessica went through was too much to take in. Kendall didn't want to get into the details, so he asked about Kathryn.Jessica relaxed at the mention of Kathryn. "She is doing well.""Is she?" Kendall sounded doubtful by his tone. From what he remembered, Kathryn was a timid girl who always needed Jessica to protect her.Jessica nodded. "Yes, she married into the Albert family. Chris Albert is her husband.""Chris Albert?" Kendall was shocked.Jessica nodded, meeting Kendall's disbelieving gaze. "Do you know him?""Of course!" Kendall revealed their close friendship during their shared time studying overseas. Being from Harborlean, Kendall was familiar with Chris, hailing from one of the wealthie

When Krista loosened her grip, Jessica left without turning back.Krista turned around. Struggling to steady her breath, she watched as Jessica left. A dark glint flickered in her eyes. About to pivot away, Byron emerged from the nearby entrance.Krista halted upon seeing him and walked in his direction. Byron frowned as she approached, and when Krista spotted Cindy behind him, she had an inkling where Jessica's injury came from."Pfft! Everyone said Ms. Neils was elegant and proper. Yet, from my perspective, it appears otherwise."Cindy's breath caught when she locked eyes with Krista."Revealing your hand before the wedding? Is this the outcome of Neils' family values?"As the members of the Skyline Group spilled out of the company, they paused to witness the unfolding tension. Spotting Byron, their initial intent to mock dissipated, yet strange gazes lingered on Cindy.Cindy paled as she felt the silent scrutiny from everyone around."Byron," she said, timidly holding onto

David asked, "What do you mean?"Krista responded, "I want to be alone right now."David felt unsettled when she said she wanted to be alone."Go back!" Krista reiterated. Though David wanted to say something, he yielded to Krista's insistence and nodded before leaving.After David left, Krista went to the driver's seat. She didn't start the car but made a call instead."Madam Preston," came the prompt answer."Find out where Byron is taking Cindy Neils.""Okay."She ended the call.The images of Jessica's injured hand haunted Krista's thoughts, like thorns pricking at her heart, impossible to dislodge.Soon, she received a call.Krista answered, "Hello.""They went to Harmony Club.""Okay, find out Jessica's address for me."She went to Cloudshade, but Jessica was no longer residing there. She wanted to know where Jessica lived.She ended the call.Ending the call, Krista's mind swirled with thoughts of the hypocrite, Cindy. Anger intensified as she dwelled on her.

Byron made his way to the doctor's office, leaving Cindy to unleash her fury on the nurse in his absence."You bunch of good-for-nothings! Why do I need one month to heal? Do you have any idea that I'm getting engaged in one week?"Her dresses for her engagement and wedding were ready. The news of needing a month infuriated her.Cindy lost her cool.Her rage for Krista had reached its limit.The nurse was shocked by the sudden burst of rage. The medical tray in her hands fell to the ground.Cindy was more outraged when she saw how clumsy the nurse was. "Get me a team of experts here. I need to recover in one week.""You have a fracture. How can it heal in one week?"Krista suddenly appeared at the entrance of Cindy's ward. She looked at Cindy with utter mockery.Cindy trembled in anger when Krista showed up.Krista walked over and said to the nurse, "You can go for now. She is not in a good mood, so please give her some space.""O-Okay," the nurse stammered, quickly retreatin

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.
