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

Maxwell wondered how his mom had given birth to two daughters like them.Kathryn simply laughed coldly at Maxwell's desperate yelling. "Correction—that's your father and your mother!"Maxwell was speechless."You're the man here, yet you can't even fork out the money to help your own parents. And here you are, guilting people into giving you money. When did you become so shameless?"It was time he grew up! Kathryn's tone was full of disgust for Maxwell. It was true that Wendy wasn't a very good mother to her or Jessica, but she and Patrick had raised Maxwell as best as they could."You're on your own now!" Kathryn said, emphasizing each word. Maxwell paled when he heard that. Just as Kathryn was about to hang up, he hastily said, "Wait! Can't you at least give me some time? I haven't even graduated from university yet.""I didn't ask for a single cent when I was in university. Where was the time I needed back then?" Kathryn responded. Kathryn was taken aback by the fact tha

Chris' warm breath fanned across Kathryn's cold cheeks. That brought a romantic tension to the already tense atmosphere.Kathryn was already nervous to begin with, so she gulped when she saw Chris' sharp gaze. "M-Mr. Albert!""You were raised in Everburn Highlands?""Yeah, I'm from Everburn. Why?""You don't look like it!" Chris said seriously. He knew how deserted that place was. It was barren as far as the eye could see, so much so that there was barely any grass or trees, even though there was plenty of land.When he'd gone there to visit his mother in the past, everyone there was tanned to some degree. No one was pale and fair like Kathryn.Kathryn was speechless. Chris put it in such a way that even she was confused as to where she came from. She didn't know Chris had been to Everburn Highlands before, so she gulped and said, "I told you I don't look like them."Chris let her go, and she hastily stood up before saying, "T-Time to eat.""Are you hungry?" Chris pointedly

Kathryn looked at Chris pitifully. "Are you worried I'm costing you too much money by eating a lot?"Chris and Cara were speechless. What nonsense was she talking about? Cara looked at Kathryn like she had nothing to live for. She was curious whether food really was all Kathryn could think about.Was Chris' beautiful looks worth less than food? Sensing the tension in the atmosphere, Kathryn hastily ate some vegetables, then grumbled, "I can eat vegetables."Chris shot her a cold glance but didn't say anything else. Still, that look alone made Kathryn too scared to eat any more. Chris himself never had a huge appetite, so he was full after a few bites. When his phone rang, he picked it up and headed upstairs right away.Cara looked at Kathryn in frustration. "Oh my god, Madam. What were you talking about? Does Mr. Chris look like someone who cares about spending too much money?"How much could a monthly allowance be? Even though she'd been buying meat almost every day, she'

Chris looked at Kathryn and said, "Come here!" Kathryn didn't dare disobey those cold words, so she shuffled over to him. Then, Chris suddenly pulled her into his arms. Kathryn almost yelped in surprise. Luckily, she managed to stay silent.She had no idea when Chris started doing this, but he seemed to like doing it more and more. "Mr. Albert!" she called out."You are getting heavier!"Kathryn was speechless. He would never let go of how she ate too much, wasn't he? His words also kept reminding Kathryn that she was pregnant with a child he didn't want. If she didn't take care of it soon, she'd probably die a really, really horrible death.Kathryn gulped and tried to change the subject. "Was that Ms. Davis on the phone?"Chris froze when he heard the question. Why the hell was she asking stuff like this?The moment Kathryn stopped talking, she felt the chill coming off of Chris. She really wished she could slap herself right now. "Sorry, I didn't mean it!""Mean what?""I

Chris' actions confused Kathryn. She had no idea what he meant by that.Chris' gaze hardened. "You must conduct yourself as befits Mrs. Albert when in the company of others. So, how should you respond when Mia Davis calls me?"What did she need to do? Kathryn thought for a while. What did she need to do if she and Chris were a normal married couple and another woman called her husband?The obvious choice would be to … threaten her? Was he really asking her to do that? That was his true love!Kathryn shot Chris a conflicted look, not believing the conclusion she'd gotten at all. But there Chris was, still holding out his phone to her.So, with a puzzled look, she asked, "D-Do I really have to threaten her?""What do you think?" Chris said more seriously than before. This scared Kathryn because Mia was his true love. Even though she disapproved of Mia, Chris was seriously … Was he trying to piss her off for leaving him back then? The moment she thought of that, Kathryn hastily
Bright Future With Him Chapter 221
When Mia didn't respond, Grace continued frustratedly, "I think Chris isn't actually mad at Amelia. Maybe he's punishing her to get back at you!"After all, it was the trip undertaken by her and Amelia that spelled disaster for Miller Group. When Mia left Harborlean, Grace already thought her relationship with Chris was over.Why was she even trying to get close to Chris when he had gotten married? A woman who did that over and over couldn't possibly be a nice person.Mia's face paled when she heard that. "I-I'm so sorry!" Was Chris really using Amelia to get back at her? But if that was true, then she and Chris were … Mia refused to believe it. She found it impossible. Mia couldn't believe that it was over for them. They used to be so close. His marriage to Kathryn must have been a sham!Mia believed that with all her heart, just like how she believed everything Chris did was only meant to anger her. It was revenge for her leaving him just like that all those years ago."What
Bright Future With Him Chapter 222
The two of them exchanged looks when they realized it was Kathryn. Mia gritted her teeth, her restraint collapsing in an instant. She wished she could start yelling and cursing Kathryn.However, Grace clapped a hand over hers and glared at her. When Mia snapped out of her trance and met her sharp gaze, Grace shook her head.Her meaning was obvious. Mia was forbidden from disrespecting Kathryn now, so she fought down her frustration and took a deep breath. "What is it, Ms. Michaels?""It's Mrs. Albert to you. Isn't it, Ms. Davis?" Kathryn said coldly. Merely uttering "Mrs. Albert" was an unmistakable assertion of her superiority over Mia.Mia's face was already pale, but now it was practically white. She felt like something was weighing on her chest and teared up."Yes, Mrs. Albert," Mia said with gritted teeth. Mrs. Albert? What a laughable title. Did Kathryn seriously think she'd get to have it if Mia herself hadn't gone overseas back then?Mia got even more frustrated. She wi

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

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.
