Bright Future With Him Chapter 208
When Kathryn stated that Llyod couldn't be relied upon, a hint of surprise flickered in Chris' eyes. And when she mentioned he was her husband, a mysterious glint of amusement crossed his gaze. "You're good at judging character, huh?" Chris teased.Everyone in the Albert Group knew Kathryn wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. No one could trust her to do things well.Yet now, she managed to see through Llyod's unreliability. Chris was glad that she could see that for herself. He was even more relieved that she hadn't lied to him. Lloyd's attempt to poach her was meant to complicate things for Chris. It was Llyod's way of getting back at him. Kathryn understood that Lloyd had no patience for useless people. She might not even last a month. Lloyd would most likely fire her before she could even receive the salary of a hundred thousand.Kathryn stated, "Mr. Robbins isn't a good guy!"She had said the same thing yesterday, and back then, Chris had criticized her for judging Ll

Mia walked into the room, with Amelia right behind her. This time, Mia didn't shoulder-check Kathryn on her way in as she had before, and things were more proper. Kathryn shut the door and joined them inside. "Chris!" Mia approached Chris and called out to him in a gentle yet restrained tone.Kathryn turned to Amelia, who was standing to the side, and asked politely, "What would you like to drink, Ms. Miller?"Amelia shook her head and said, "I'm good, thank you." Her response held a respectful tone toward Kathryn. The changes showed that the Miller Group was now in a tough spot. Because of this, Kathryn was even more fearful of angering Chris. The potential consequences of his anger were something no one could bear. "Chris, my uncle is really freaking out over this issue. What should we do to keep the Miller Group out of trouble?""Please don't do this, Chris!" Amelia also chimed in, her tone much more humble than before. Her earlier confidence was only because of thei

Chris was enraged. A glint of coldness appeared in his eyes as he harshly said, "Get out!""Chris!""Chris, why are you doing this to me?" Mia broke down.They had hit rock bottom to apologize for their action toward Kathryn. What more did he want?Chris said, "Get out. Don't make me say it twice! Do you want the Miller Group to go bankrupt today?"The threat in Chris' tone had escalated to a level where there seemed to be no way to reverse it.Upon hearing that, Amelia and Mia were taken aback. They weren't expecting things to escalate this far. They exchanged a look, wanting to say something, but in that instant, no words escaped their lips. Chris' attitude was simply too frigid. There was no warmth to it at all. And they knew if they continued to press Chris, he would follow through with his words. "Amelia…" Mia silently gestured with her eyes for Amelia to go.However, Amelia had no plans to leave at that moment. She stared at Chris in anguish, finding it almost unbeli

Mia and Amelia returned to the room with their complexions drained of color. They had abandoned the idea of confronting Chris any further. "How did it come to this? Mia, how did things get so out of hand?" They had tried every avenue, whether right or wrong, all because of a single piece of luggage.Chris was undeniably ruthless!Mia's face was as white as a ghost.When they were in Harborlean, she thought Chris was simply attempting to provoke her. But it didn't seem like it now.Could it be that, like they thought before, Kathryn was the person Chris had been looking for all these years?If this were true, Kathryn must have mattered a lot to Chris for him to sacrifice so much to find her."Mia, we can't allow this Kathryn to stay," Amelia tightly held Mia's hand and said with a venomous edge. Amelia couldn't forget how she had knelt before Kathryn. Yet, Chris didn't give in. Amelia felt deeply humiliated!How could he … As she envisioned Kathryn's face, Amelia had the

Kathryn was taken aback upon learning that. It seemed that there was indeed a way out of every predicament. Tally must have been pushed to the brink if she had genuinely resolved not to return to the company. Kathryn took a deep breath. "What about Markus? Didn't he give you three days?"Despite Kathryn's trust in Tally's loyalty, this matter had been bugging her thoughts. Tally replied, "I've already resigned. Why should I bother about him?"Although Tally came off as confident, she felt guilty. She knew Markus and Chris wouldn't stop their investigation just because she quit. Once they figured out Tally deleted the surveillance video that night in Northvale, the Johnson family would get dragged down too.Nonetheless, Tally found herself left with no other alternatives. Remaining at the Albert Group would drive her to the brink of madness. As such, she had opted for complete avoidance. She could only hope Kathryn would find a way out. Now, Tally's hopes hinged on Kathryn
Bright Future With Him Chapter 213
The notion of being in this together seemed utterly far-fetched now. This situation had spiraled into a significant catastrophe, to put it mildly. Tally had been in a state of constant chaos throughout. She hadn't been able to hand over all her belongings to Kathryn. After the call ended, Kathryn moved some of her things from the company apartment to Rexton Manor. When she was done, she called Jessica, who'd just gotten discharged. They agreed to meet up at a café near the company. When Kathryn got there, Jessica was alone. She was a little pale, and she'd gotten a lot thinner in such a short time. Jessica was wearing a suit she hadn't worn since she got married, so she looked more energetic than before despite her sickly state."Jessica," Kathryn said as she sat in front of her.Jessica smiled when she saw Kathryn. "You're here."Kathryn nodded, then looked Jessica up and down before noticing she was wearing some light makeup. It made her look a lot less like a housewife.

"I know. I won't go easy on them this time!" Jessica said. After a moment of silence, she added with a sigh, "It will be hell for us both if she's released, anyway."Both of them knew just how much torture Wendy had put them through for the past few years. They only had some peace now because she was in jail.Maxwell was still kicking up a fuss. But that was nothing compared to what Wendy could do."What about you and Matthew?""We're divorced," Jessica spat coldly. Kathryn knew what the marriage was to her—a set of chains Wendy forced onto her. That was why Jessica sounded so relieved when she revealed they were divorced. It felt like everything Wendy used to control was now hers again."What about Kelly?" Kathryn asked."I'll retrieve her once I secure a job, a house and have everything settled."Jessica was grateful to Karen for this. Wendy was the one who caused their conflict in the first place, but she still cared about her granddaughter when all was said and done."Tha
Bright Future With Him Chapter 215
On the way back to Rexton Manor, Kathryn got a call from the neighborhood's security guard, saying Wendy wanted to meet her."I don't want to see her," Kathryn said."Ms. Michaels, this is your mother. I feel like you should see her, no?" the guard said seriously. Kathryn couldn't be bothered, so she hung up immediately.She didn't know when she started hating it when people referred to Wendy as her mother. The guard's use of the word "should" only further infuriated her. That was why she became rebellious and hung up no matter who said that. Meanwhile, Maxwell was harassing Kathryn, probably because he couldn't convince Jessica to help.He kept calling and calling, but if Kathryn blocked his number, he'd simply get a new one. Worrying that he'd continue to bother her in front of Chris, she picked up in frustration. "What?""Kathryn." Maxwell's tone was pleading, a huge difference from his previous hostile attitude. This instant change in his tone was expected since Kathryn kept

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.
