Bright Future With Him Chapter 177
Amelia burst into a rage when she recalled Chris' attitude towards Mia. The way he treated her when Mia was so devoted to him makes Amelia believe that Chris was the one who left Mia without informing her instead."Don't do that! He'll be mad!" Mia hurriedly stopped Amelia when she saw how angry she was. She dared not let her touch Kathryn's things.No matter why Chris married Kathryn, Kathryn was legally his wife. Chris always protected things and people he thought were his. He would never let anyone hurt Kathryn. Mia knew this about him. Even though Mia wanted to throw Kathryn's things out too, she didn't let Amelia do it. She knew the consequences would be dire. Amelia, on the other hand, had already lost her mind. "Why should he be mad? You should be the one mad instead! It had only been three years, and he had already married someone else. I don't think he loved you back then." Amelia's rage grew as she spoke. She shook off Mia's hand and started searching for Kathryn's

Mia heard what the room service server had said to Amelia."Mia," Amelia said. "I never thought he would really ask me to leave this room," Mia said in agony. She had expected Chris to be happy when she came back, but he seemed to be avoiding her. Mia had assumed Chris would come to get her yesterday when Amelia called and told him she was drunk. Chris didn't come. He didn't even answer the phone when Amelia called him again. Mia concluded that Chris had stopped having feelings for her. Amelia got upset when she heard Mia sounding bitter. "That Michaels woman must have done something! How could she make Chris treat you this way!"Amelia was angry when she talked about Kathryn. Mia's face grew paler. No matter how displeased they were, they couldn't deny that Kathryn was Chris' wife. Their wedding was around the corner as well.Mia felt envious thinking about the venue's decoration. The wedding would be amazing. Meanwhile, Kathryn cast a cautious glance at Chris in the c

Even though Chris wasn't easy to deal with, Kathryn felt that meeting someone like Lloyd would be a waste of time.Chris was sharp enough to pick up on the emotions in Kathryn's voice. He looked at her with a faint smile on his face. "You don't seem too fond of him?""It's not that I dislike him. He just doesn't come across as respectable to me," Kathryn spoke honestly.Chris' face fell. He locked eyes with her, causing Kathryn to rein in her emotions. "I'm sorry.""You don't have to consider his attitude. Just focus on whether he can be beneficial to us." "Yes, I understand. Thanks for your advice." Kathryn pouted. She disagreed with him. She couldn't understand why a partner's attitude didn't matter. She believed a person's attitude was a crucial factor to take into account. Chris smiled when he saw her mumbling.Lloyd was already there when they entered the private room in the restaurant."Mr. Albert," Lloyd greeted with a smile, standing up. Kathryn had to admit that

"Mr. Robbins, I'll drink on Mr. Albert's behalf." Kathryn quickly took Chris' glass and raised it.Lloyd was taken aback by her action. He looked at Kathryn with confusion before turning to Chris. "Mr. Albert?""I can't drink, I'm afraid," Chris said calmly.Lloyd was an observant person. He didn't insist and respected Chris' decision. He said, "We'll leave it to you then, Ms. Michaels?"His tone had a flirtatious undertone. Kathryn's face fell. She would have glared at him if Chris wasn't there. Kathryn held back in his presence. Chris sensed the undertones in Lloyd's voice, and his demeanor grew colder.Lloyd actually had his plans. His intentions were evident when he asked Alexandra to pour a glass of wine for Chris. He hadn't anticipated Chris not being able to drink. He had to abandon his plan.The drink was strong. Kathryn could feel the burning sensation in her throat as she drank it."Very impressive, Ms. Michaels," Lloyd complimented as he saw Kathryn finish the glass

Lloyd had a reputation in Southvale for his demeanor. He appeared friendly on the surface, but he often had schemes brewing beneath that. Rumors circulated about his ruthlessness, yet also his ability to yield when needed.Kathryn was finally getting a firsthand look at the kind of person he was. Llyod could set aside his ego to flatter someone, yet also exude dominance like a king. His behavior suggested he understood Chris' value, making him act accordingly.Kathryn's initial thought was that partnering with him would be risky."Let's go and have fun, shall we?" Lloyd noticed Kathryn's silence and pinched her cheek. The fierceness on his face just now was nowhere to be seen. He had returned to his usual behavior."I'd rather not. I need to find Mr. Albert."Lloyd grabbed her arm. "Nah, someone else is looking after him tonight."Kathryn understood what he meant. "Mr. Albert's isn't like that.""What? You don't understand men at all." Lloyd tugged her arm, attempting to lea

"My hands aren't dirty. I just washed them," Kathryn replied.Chris gave Kathryn a cold stare.Kathryn was almost scared to death. "I'll do it right away."Kathryn felt unfairly treated but took the tissue promptly. She thought she understood Chris, but now, she was uncertain. His glare was baffling.Chris felt better as Kathryn complied. Nevertheless, his voice remained stern. "What are the company's rules for interactions?""Huh?" Kathryn was confused."Answer me," Chris' voice turned icy and threatening. It was only then did Kathryn realized the extent of his anger. She had assumed his fury was about his abstinence from alcohol.Taking a deep breath, Kathryn swallowed her anxiety. She answered in a soft voice, "No joking or casual chatting with clients. No physical contact with clients. No wheeling and dealing with clients.""And what were you just doing?"Kathryn recalled the recent events. She vividly remembered how Lloyd had grabbed her hand. Yet, she wasn't sure if it c

Kathryn was about to leave the room with Amelia, but Chris immediately pushed her back into the room."Go to take a shower. You stink."Everyone in the room was stunned by his attitude toward Kathryn, especially Mia. She was standing still with her face pale.Amelia's intention had been to lead Kathryn to another room, creating privacy for Chris and Mia. But with Chris's directive, Kathryn couldn't exit as planned.Amelia noticed the change in Mia's expression. "Chris."Chris ignored her. Instead, he glared at Kathryn."Alright, alright. I'll go now." Kathryn didn't think she was smelly. It made her curious. She thought that the smell had come from someone else. Despite her confusion, she didn't dare protest due to Chris's stern demeanor. She hurried into the room.Mia turned to Chris, her expression reflecting hurt. "Chris."Amelia stood up for her, asserting, "Chris, stop treating her this way. She's already feeling down."It took Amelia a lot of effort to comfort Mia afte
Bright Future With Him Chapter 184
"Chris …" Mia looked at Chris aggrievedly. Tears welled up in her eyes. Kathryn's words seemed to have deeply wounded her. Amelia disliked Kathryn from the start. She believed Kathryn had taken everything away from Mia. When Amelia saw Mia tearing up, her anger raged. Amelia raised her hand, intending to slap Kathryn. "How dare you speak like that? You're just the other woman!"Chris grabbed her arm before she could slap Kathryn. Amelia felt the pain in her arm and spun around to face Chris. "Chris! You—"He released her arm forcefully. "Enough!""Chris, how could you do this? Mia has already apologized to you. How can you keep hurting her?"Chris' expression grew even darker. He ignored her. Chris pulled out his phone and dialed Markus' number. Markus answered the phone almost instantly. "Chris."Markus had always been close with Chris. It was already his off-hours as well."Terminate all our current collaborations with the Miller Group.""What happened?" Markus was sli

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.
