Bright Future With Him Chapter 146
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

Kathryn had a hunch as to why Amelia was unfriendly toward her."Have a seat. I think they'll probably play a few more rounds." Hannah handed a cup of tea to Kathryn.Kathryn smiled and accepted it. "Thank you.""So, Mrs. Albert, how did you know Chris?"Both Evelyn and Amelia turned to look at Kathryn as Hannah finished asking. Her question came abruptly. Kathryn didn't expect that Chris didn't hide her identity from them.Earlier, Marco had also addressed her as "Mrs. Albert." It meant that Chris had told them that Kathryn, his wife, would be joining them. Kathryn wasn't sure if telling her that she was Chris' assistant was appropriate. She thought that it might embarrass him. Hannah smiled awkwardly as she realized Kathryn had kept silent. "Is it inconvenient for you to answer it? I'm sorry."A disdainful smile crossed Amelia's lips upon hearing Hannah's words. "Seems like Chris found her from nowhere.""Amelia, what are you talking about?" Hannah's tone grew serious.Ame

Kathryn didn't know how to play card games at first, but she learned as she always had to accompany Chris to various engagements, per Markus' order.When playing with Chris' clients, she was taught not to win against them, and she had never won a game before."Sure. You can have all the winnings." Chris was stunned for a second but nodded immediately after. He then ruffled her hair dotingly, and everyone saw it.Kathryn nodded. "Okay!"Her interest in the game grew as she heard she could keep all the winnings.A smile crossed Chris' lips as he saw Kathryn's behavior. He took his phone and left the room. Kathryn looked at the cards Chris got. Marco looked toward her. "Kathryn, have you never won a game before?"Marco suspected she had never won a game. He wondered if she could win after asking a question like that.Kathryn nodded. "Yeah, I've never won before."She was honest, but Marco and Victor thought she was just a beginner. However, Kathryn wasn't. To their surprise, she

Kathryn had no idea why Chris introduced her to his friends that day, but she was sure that it wasn't only to acknowledge her identity as his wife.That afternoon, they had roasted mutton for lunch. Kathryn was okay with it. Chris took care of her the entire time. He also served the mutton for her himself.As they were enjoying their meal, an unexpected guest arrived. It was Mia."Mia." Amelia stood up and asked her to have a seat.Mia's gaze briefly landed on Chris before finally resting on Kathryn. Kathryn finally understood the reason why Amelia was unfriendly to her. It was because Amelia and Mia knew each other.Mia's appearance made everyone present tense. They were all aware of the history between Chris and Mia."Is this enough?" Chris' gaze was set upon Kathryn. He seemed unbothered by Mia. Kathryn nodded. "Yeah, it's enough. You should hurry up and eat as well."The roasted mutton had to be consumed while still warm. It wouldn't taste as good once it turned cold. Ka

Chris walked out with Kathryn, leaving an embarrassed Mia. Amelia looked at her with sympathy and said, "Don't take it to heart, Mia. She's just some country girl that Chris is putting on an act with!"Amelia had looked into Kathryn before. Kathryn was a girl who studied her way out of the countryside. Amelia thought it was ridiculous that Kathryn aimed to marry into a wealthy family with her unimpressive appearance.Meanwhile, Mia tried her best to hold back her tears. Chris' sudden exit left Victor, Travis, and Marco embarrassed too. Marco glanced at Hannah and told her, "Take care of Ms. Davis, Hannah.""Okay." Hannah reacted quickly and started cutting up Mia's mutton for her.However, she was very annoyed by how Mia showed up uninvited. Even if they'd dated in the past, Chris was married now! She was only staying silent for her boyfriend's sake."Eat up, Mia!" Hannah placed the lamb in Mia's bowl. But Mia didn't touch it. Instead, Mia scanned the room and asked, "So
Bright Future With Him Chapter 152
Those three words were very cold. It was clear what he felt about Mia's attitude.Kathryn's mouth twitched. "She was crying a lot." When Kathryn said that, she had no idea how to judge Mia. It was bad enough that she followed them there, but crying too? Kathryn found it ridiculous. Chris looked at her. "Am I supposed to comfort her?" His words were so cold it almost gave her chills.Kathryn's face twisted. "No. What I meant was, you two don't seem like exes at all! Why didn't you just go to her if you needed a wife so much in the beginning?"Judging by Mia's attitude, she clearly didn't want to break up with him at all. And now … "Shut up!" Chris' tone somehow got even colder, scaring Kathryn into freezing up.She was just telling the truth. She had no idea why Chris was angry again. But she didn't dare provoke him for the sake of her house, so she dropped the subject."Alright, I'll stop asking about it," Kathryn reassured him. "Don't be mad, okay?"Chris shot her a co
Bright Future With Him Chapter 153
It happened so suddenly. After Adrian left, Kathryn thought the matter was settled. Who knew that he'd actually try to get the doctor responsible for that report fired?Remembering that Markus was coming for Tally, Kathryn wanted to text her. But Chris was looking at her threateningly, so she didn't dare move a muscle.Chris' gaze got even colder when she didn't respond again. "Answer me!""I-I don't know!" Kathryn almost cried. What could she say? Everything she said could make things worse! The only way out of this … was to dodge the question!However, Chris clearly wasn't going to let her do that. Kathryn heard the hiss of a match being lit much faster than usual. From that alone, she could tell how much Chris was suppressing his anger. Kathryn wished she could jump out of the car and escape."You don't know?" Chris asked. The murderous intent in those three words made him sound like Satan himself. Kathryn wanted to nod, but Chris was so scary that she couldn't say a word.

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.
