Bright Future With Him Chapter 196
Mia felt disappointed as she recalled how Chris had acted just now. She had only left three years ago, so how could he change so much? His current demeanor made it seem like they were never in a relationship before. "Mia, aren't you angry?" Amelia got more frustrated seeing Mia stay calm and comfort her now.Mia would have been angry with Chris' present attitude if she were still the same as she was three years ago.With a sigh, Mia lowered her gaze. "What's the use of being angry? He acts as though I'm a complete stranger! Anger is only justified when you care about someone." And even if she did get angry now, would it change anything?Upon hearing Mia's weary tone, Amelia felt a pang in her heart. Her displeasure toward Chris intensified."Chris did care about you. It's just that he's with Kathryn now!" Amelia's words were fervent. She believed that Chris had been waiting for Mia's return all this time. The mystery was how Kathryn had won Chris over enough to become his w

Mia sent a message to Chris, but she didn't hear back. She wasn't sure if Chris hadn't seen it or if he couldn't use his phone. As half an hour passed without a response, Mia began to feel anxious."Is it really like you said?" Mia sounded a bit unsure as she inquired. When Mia thought about how Chris behaved and what Amelia said about him not being a ladies' man, she thought it was likely true."I'm sure it is. You should just go see him," Amelia responded.Mia didn't say anything and just thought about what Amelia had said.Considering Chris' present behavior toward her, Mia felt uncertain. The agony she had endured since she came back was known to no one. Every instance of Chris' demeanor seemed to stifle her.Mia was about to nod in agreement, but then Amelia's phone rang. Amelia retrieved it and checked the caller. It was her father!Amelia took a deep breath and answered, "Daddy.""What did you do to Mrs. Albert again?" Vincent's angry voice came through the phone.
Bright Future With Him Chapter 198
Mia got even more anxious when she noticed Amelia wasn't speaking."I need to apologize to Kathryn," Amelia said.Chris didn't show any respect for Mia earlier.Amelia's father was also Mia's uncle, but Chris didn't seem to care about that. It seemed like he was really going after them because of Kathryn.Mia's face fell as she called out, "Amelia."After thinking for a while, Amelia seriously said, "You should find a way to talk to Chris and clear things up."Everything was pure speculation until Chris provided clarification.Amelia nodded. "Yeah, I know!"She knew she needed to talk to Chris. But the fact that he wasn't open to seeing her alone at the moment left her feeling extremely uneasy."Regardless, Kathryn is the main problem between you and Chris!"They had to admit that Kathryn, despite her rural origins, was a significant hurdle. Now, they couldn't deny it anymore. Chris's actions against the Miller Group were all because of Kathryn.Mia nodded. "I know!" A s
Bright Future With Him Chapter 199
Chris frowned and gave Amelia a look. "Will you remember next time?"Tears streamed down Amelia's face as she said, "I'll remember." She was grieving the relationship they no longer had. Before, she thought that being in the same class and being Mia's cousin would make her a good friend with Chris.Now, she realized it was wishful thinking. Things were more complex than she thought. Chris didn't want to continue the conversation with Amelia. "Leave!""What about the Miller Group?" Amelia asked Chris, her face showing concern.Her apology to Kathryn was aimed solely at rescuing the Miller Group.Chris then looked at Kathryn.Kathryn's hair stood on end when she met his eyes.Was he deliberately trying to make Amelia hate her?Amelia was already seething with the desire to tear her apart. Yet, Chris was trying to make Amelia think that all of this was her doing?But the truth was quite different from reality. In truth, the Miller Group couldn't keep up with the times. Ch
Bright Future With Him Chapter 200
Kathryn was taken aback by Chris' seriousness about this matter. She pondered over her actions with Tally. If he were to find out, would the Johnson family face a fate like the Miller Group's?Without a doubt, she was sure her house and money would disappear instantly. At this thought, Kathryn turned pale right away.Before, she had considered telling the truth about everything. After seeing Chris' harsh treatment toward Amelia and her family, Kathryn quickly changed her mind. It was clear that she had to keep everything concealed, no matter the pressure she was under."Chris, how can you treat us like this? I was so mad about how you treated Mia last night that I acted rudely to Ms. Michaels. How can you let the Miller Group become bankrupt because of what I did? "Isn't this too high a cost?" Amelia exclaimed, her voice filled with both hurt and anger. She was clearly pointing out Chris's lack of compassion.Chris responded, "You should have thought about this before your

Chris lifted his coffee cup, but as he heard it, his hand paused. He frowned at Kathryn.Kathryn sensed his displeasure and explained, "I am not trying to drive a wedge between the two of you." She was merely concerned for her safety.Chris nodded. "You're not capable of that, anyway."Although she was smart, the thought of causing a rift between them never crossed her mind. She was merely worried for her safety."Do you think Ms. Miller would do it?" Kathryn asked.She had to make things clear. Even though Kathryn only triggered it, Amelia's behavior clearly showed she blamed her.Chris stated, "You're always with me. She wouldn't stand a chance.""And when you're sleeping?" Kathryn questioned quietly, revealing her skepticism. While she was normally with Chris, they didn't have constant companionship. It might be more precise to state that they were together for most of their time.Chris lifted his gaze, fixing it on her. Kathryn felt a shiver of fear from his stare. To m

Mia called out, "Chris!"Chris' eyes were filled with obvious displeasure when he saw Mia again.Mia walked up and asked, "Did I come at a bad time?"Lloyd felt he was in an awkward spot. Upon seeing Mia, he was momentarily shocked. He didn't know about what was going on between Kathryn and Chris. Everything had happened so quickly. He hadn't had a chance to find out.However, he did know about the history between Chris and Mia.Llyod also knew Mia.Back then, he was surprised to learn that Chris had feelings for Mia. At that time, he thought Chris was good at deciding things but not when it came to understanding women.Lloyd confirmed his impression of Mia when he saw Mia's forceful demeanor.Chris scowled. "Leave!" His tone had a cold and stern quality. Kathryn was still by the door. She hadn't expected Mia to just barge in.She had been about to say that Chris was busy. She was planning to ask Mia to go back first. But Mia had just entered as if she owned the place. K
Bright Future With Him Chapter 203
Mia didn't have the courage to press on, so she nodded and walked off. Finally, she left.Lloyd, silent till now, raised an eyebrow and smiled at Chris. He said, "This had been troubling you, Mr. Albert?"A woman in pain yet acting unreasonably would frustrate any man. After all, men preferred their women to heed their words. Chris shot him a chilly look. "Is there anything else?""Mr. Albert, why did you suddenly decide to work with Walter Glenn?" Lloyd gave Chris a confused look as he steered the conversation back.They already settled the matter yesterday. Why did Chris decide on Walter Glenn instead?Who was Walter Glenn? Walter Glenn hailed from Southvale's most powerful family. He was also Lloyd's enemy, and their feud wasn't a thing of the past. Business had always been anyone's game. But now that Chris had decided to ally with Walter, Lloyd was furious.Lifting his coffee, Chris remarked, "To save the trouble!"He was a man of brevity. He expressed himself with j

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.
