Bright Future With Him Chapter 160
In the past, even though everyone worked in the same building, they barely saw each other once a month. Even if they did see each other, they'd be acquaintances at best.But now, Tally was making so many visits to Markus' office. She was a little scared. Wouldn't this make her even more exposed than Kathryn to danger?Tally looked at Markus weakly and asked, "Yes, Mr. Hunt?" even though she truly wanted to ask, "Can you ask everything all at once?"Tally felt like she was being tortured right now. She finally understood why Kathryn was so scared of Chris. It was just … too much!Lately, they've been facing emergencies almost every day. Tally suddenly felt that Kathryn wasn't dumb at all.Of all the assistants Chris' hired over the years, none lasted more than a month, but Kathryn had lasted for years! That proved she wasn't stupid.Still, Tally couldn't help but think that Kathryn was probably scared stupid by now.Markus looked Tally up and down. "Are you pregnant?"Tally was

Tally didn't know how she got out of Markus' office. But he didn't ask any further questions after that. Still, the phrase "three days" rang in her ears like a song she couldn't get out of her head. Tally was unsure if she should tell on Kathryn. Or should she claim she was the one in Chris' room that night?Tally couldn't do it. If she said it was her, Chris would tear her whole family apart. She and her dad would end up homeless. What could she do? What was she supposed to do? Tally had always been smart and calm, but now she was lost. She hastily called Kathryn, but the call ended after just one ring.Tally's grip on the phone tightened. Realizing that Kathryn was probably being interrogated by Chris right now, she took a deep breath. It felt like both of them were backed into a corner.So she picked up the phone again and dialed a different number. This time, the listener picked up very quickly, and before he could say anything, Tally spoke first."Dad, I want to come

They would never have children together. Their marriage would end once Chris took back all the overseas companies from Krista. Then, he'd return to his pretentious true love, Mia. She'd just be … Kathryn.Chris was very busy. Before he went upstairs, he told Cara, "Pack my things. I'm going on a business trip tomorrow.""Alright, Mr. Chris!" Cara said respectfully.Then, Chris looked at Kathryn. "You should pack your things too."Kathryn's face changed color, and she pointed at herself. "I'm going too?""Who else would be going?"Kathryn didn't know what to say. She recalled Chris saying that she didn't need to go this time.Then again, she had gone with him on every trip since she became his assistant. That meant she would need to go on this trip too. Under Chris' threatening gaze, she nodded and said, "I'll pack up at once."With that, she ran out of the room. She was doomed! Kathryn was at a loss now. She now knew Chris' stance on wanting kids. However, the plan was to
Bright Future With Him Chapter 163
Upon hearing Jessica's determination, Kathryn felt for her. She took a deep breath and said, "She really … used a knife …" She couldn't continue after that because she couldn't breathe. This was the Jessica who'd cared for them all these years! How could Wendy be so cruel?But then she remembered how Wendy had dumped her in her grandmother's backyard.Combined with how Wendy had treated Jessica over the years, Kathryn suddenly felt that Wendy could be that cruel."Yep, she did!" Jessica said with a determination and hatred Kathryn hadn't seen before.Kathryn's heart sank even further, but her hatred for Wendy only grew.After thinking for a while, Jessica said, "You don't have to come to the hospital from now on.""Jessica …""Maxwell's coming to Harborlean," Jessica said. Maxwell had been raised by Wendy, so he was also a person who demanded everything, especially money.He had taken plenty of it from the two of them over the years, so Jessica wanted to use this chance to

Despite everything, Maxwell was still someone who went to college. Kathryn couldn't understand why he always sounded so gross when he talked.Maxwell's anger was so intense that it gave him a headache. "People like you who abandon their family are the most disgusting of all.""Yeah, I abandoned my family! But at least I'm better than you two! All you do is ask for your family's money and blood!" Kathryn said mockingly.She was not that willing to talk to people like Maxwell in the first place, so now she wasn't pulling any punches.Maxwell became confused. He had always known Kathryn as the cowardly type. Maxwell was puzzled. In an instant, he reacted. "I see. You've changed since you went to the big city. You've got the guts to talk back now, huh?""Why? Were you planning to bully me for the rest of your life, gross boy?"Being called a gross boy hurt Maxwell to his very core, making him so angry he couldn't even speak."You're already on the way to Harborlean, aren't you?"
Bright Future With Him Chapter 165
Right now, Kathryn could tell Maxwell was hopping mad without even looking at him. She felt so relieved when she remembered that Jessica wasn't giving him a single cent too. She'd always gotten so worked up watching Jessica compromise.Now, it was all going to be over at last. At that moment, Kathryn seemed to remember something and hastily called Tally. She had her own things to worry about.Tally picked up instantly and said, "Don't tell me you had another situation." She sounded dead on the inside, so Kathryn asked, "What happened?""What the heck is going on with you and Mr. Albert? Why is Markus asking me whether I'm pregnant?""What did you say?""I said no, then I said yes!" Tally said in a pained way. Tally felt like she'd been stressed enough to get heartburn today. She didn't even know if something was wrong with her heart now. All she knew was that being alive was hard."So, are you pregnant or not?""Markus already suspects that the woman from Northvale is eith

Kathryn recalled that that was what he had said. Why else would they have made plans for the day he left? But now, Kathryn had to say, "He told me I was coming with him just now.""What now? If you don't abort soon, you won't get to once the baby gets too big. Three months is the limit. You know that, right?"Kathryn had no idea that there was a limit. Based on what she knew about Chris' schedule, the baby would be four months old by the time he went on another business trip.Kathryn's lips twitched just thinking about it. It just dawned on her that she had been too busy to think things through. "So what do I do?""Figure out a way to stay.""What way?" Kathryn said shakily. She hadn't realized how serious the situation was before Tally reminded her, but now she knew."Fake a sickness!" Tally couldn't think of any other way that. "No!" She couldn't fake another one. Adrian had scared her so much the last time, she still hadn't recovered yet.Tally didn't know what to say. Befo

"Careful, Madam. That soup's fresh off the stove." Cara hastily poured some cold water for Kathryn, who was almost in tears.Chris sighed when he saw her distracted attitude. He took the glass of water and gave it to Kathryn. "What was it that got you so distracted?"His tone was a bit softer when he saw Kathryn's teary eyes. He hated it when girls cried because it didn't make sense to him. But Kathryn's teary look didn't seem so bad, somehow.Kathryn quickly gulped down some water, the coolness soothing her a little. In the meantime, Cara had gotten some ice. "Put this in your mouth, Madam."Chris took the ice bucket, picked up an ice cube, and passed it to Kathryn. "Open your mouth."When Kathryn did, the burning sensation in her mouth got some relief once she had the ice cube inside. The soup had really burned her half to death."It hurts," she said to Chris pitifully."So you do know it hurts? Are you going to pay attention while eating from now on?" Chris said seriously. He
