Bright Future With Him Chapter 140
Kathryn stayed by Jessica's side until Matthew returned. Only when Matthew reassured Kathryn that he would always be by Jessica's side did Kathryn finally agree to leave. Still, she wasn't completely reassured. Jessica, too, urged her to go. It was already 4:00 am when she returned to Rexton Manor from the hospital. She was so tired that she immediately lay down on the couch. She wanted to sleep, but Chris dragged her out and said, "Go and have a bath.""I don't want to." Kathryn was exhausted. Plus, she was still worried about Jessica. So, she had no motivation to do anything else.Chris raised his brows. "I'll help you, then?"Chris was a neat freak. He couldn't bear the thought of Kathryn sleeping on the couch without bathing. He feared she would dirty it.Kathryn quickly jumped up from the couch after she heard him say so. "I'll do it myself."She rushed to the bathroom immediately after.As Kathryn was taking a shower, she realized a serious problem. She had forgotten to g

Kathryn refused to enter Chris' bedroom no matter what."I'll take care of myself," Kathryn spoke incoherently as she was terrified. Chris' eyes became fierce. "You have no idea what happens after you have a fever. How are you going to take care of yourself?"What Chris said was true. Kathryn had been sleeping like a log every time she had a fever. She would have long been dead if she had been left to her own devices. "I won't be that weak. I've had a fever twice." Kathryn recalled how Chris cared for her past two fevers and blushed. She felt that her body was getting warmer as well.Chris grew tired of engaging in a pointless conversation with her as she displayed a mix of submissiveness and stubbornness. He sneered. "I see you've been reading a lot about furnishing and renovating recently. Are you planning to renovate your house?"Kathryn could hardly breathe as she heard that. She couldn't figure out his intention in asking about the renovation of her house. A sense of uneas

Kathryn's eyes grew teary in fear. "Mr. Albert, I didn't mean to. It wasn't me."Chris' gaze turned cold. Kathryn was so terrified that she refrained from saying what she wanted to.Kathryn had the urge to slap herself in the face. She wasn't sure what she had done."Are you going to let go of me or not?" Chris asked."Yes! Yes, of course." Kathryn immediately withdrew her legs. She was very anxious deep down at the moment. She had no idea what had happened after she slept.Kathryn quickly got out of bed and moved as far away from Chris as possible. She was afraid that she might lose control again. She regretted sleeping in the same room with him. She hadn't experienced a fever but had been sleepwalking instead.Kathryn didn't consider that Chris might have carried her from the couch to the bed. She had assumed Chris was too cold or reserved to do such a thing. "I'm sorry, Mr. Albert. I didn't mean it. I'm really sorry." Kathryn escaped from the bedroom immediately after that.

Chris raised his brows and glanced at Kathryn coldly. He couldn't comprehend the sudden change in her attitude. Kathryn said, "Hurry up and have your meal, or else it will become cold."Chris sneered and took a bite of his breakfast.Kathryn knew she hadn't succeeded in cheering him up. It was evident from his sneer. She tensed up for a bit."Just don't be angry," Kathryn coaxed once more."Why am I angry?" Chris asked."Wasn't it because I went to sleep on your bed? I swear, I didn't mean it. I—""Shut up!" Chris scolded with a low tone before Kathryn could finish her words.It made the corner of Kathryn's lips twitch. She couldn't understand why her attempts to make Chris happy only made him angrier. As she met him in the eyes, she decided to stop trying to cheer him up. "Okay, then. I'll stop talking about it, and you'll also stop being angry."It was clear to Kathryn that she had no idea how to appease him any further. Her lips almost went numb because of it.Chris cast

"Look at your mother. It has been a year since she last met Kelly. Yet, she didn't even bring candy when she came here! Sometimes I even doubt if you're really her child!" Karen couldn't understand how one could be indifferent to their daughter and granddaughter.Karen wasn't fussing about Wendy not bringing any candy for Kelly. She was just distressed that Wendy didn't care about Kelly at all.Wendy wanted to take advantage of the Quinton family but wasn't even willing to buy them off. It was difficult for Karen not to feel uneasy about it.Jessica was crying her heart out. "I'm sorry."At that moment, she didn't know what to say except apologize. She understood that because of Wendy, she had harmed Karen and Matthew greatly over the years. She was aware of the situation but couldn't find a way to stop Wendy from harassing them.Karen sighed and said, "Let's just forget what happened to us and let it be."She didn't mind the small amount of money Wendy kept asking from them. But
Bright Future With Him Chapter 145
Kathryn's disgust for Wendy grew stronger. On her way to the hospital, the police called her again. She surmised that it was about Wendy. She didn't answer the phone.No matter what their intentions were, Kathryn wouldn't get involved. Wendy always liked causing trouble. Kathryn wanted Wendy to realize that stirring things up wouldn't solve anything. "Kathryn, you must learn from my mistakes when you get married next time. Know where to draw the line," Jessica cried, wanting to say more. "There must be a limit!" Jessica had been crossing the line repeatedly because she couldn't stand Wendy's harassment. How could others withstand Wendy's harassment when Jessica herself couldn't stand it and was also resentful?"Stop crying." Kathryn handed a tissue to Jessica.Jessica continued, "I'd been asking you to cross the lines with me for the past two years as well. Without your money, I guess the Quinton family would have pushed me to divorce much earlier."For the last two years,

Last night, Jessica's life had undergone a dramatic change. She just wanted a few moments of peace to think about how she should face her future.Kathryn wanted to say something, but when she noticed how lonely Jessica looked, she simply nodded."Call me if you need anything. I'll help you.""Kathryn!" Jessica looked at Kathryn as she stood up from her seat.Kathryn frowned. "What's wrong?""As a family, we are not worthy enough for you to make exceptions for. Just enjoy your own life." Some people would help their family because their family was worthy to do so, but Jessica thought their family wasn't."They don't deserve it, but you do." Jessica was the only person in her family whom Kathryn thought worthy of her help."I don't need it," Jessica replied determinedly. It was the first time in years that she spoke to Kathryn like that. Jessica had always been submissive when she dealt with Wendy's troubles. She didn't want Kathryn to repeat her mistakes. She didn't want Wendy
Bright Future With Him Chapter 147
Kathryn didn't bother to fetch Wendy. She thought Wendy would only pester her about her marriage or continue to harass Jessica.It was already 11:30 am when Kathryn arrived at Ascot Racecourse. A server approached her as soon as she stepped out of the car. "Are you Ms. Michaels?""Yes.""Mr. Albert is waiting for you." The server led the way respectfully.Kathryn nodded. "Thanks."Kathryn had been to Ascot Racecourse several times but still wasn't familiar with it. After a few turns, they arrived at a building adorned with glass and lavish decorations. Kathryn had never been to this building.Kathryn was then brought to a room. She heard noises from the room before she even went in. The people inside seemed to be playing card games.The server knocked on the door. Someone inside opened it immediately. Kathryn instantly frowned when she caught a whiff of the strong cigarette smell inside the room. They were playing card games, indeed. Kathryn could see the table with cards insi

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
Bright Future With Him Chapter 1337
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.
