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

Kathryn pursed her lips together, then replied politely, "It's okay, Mrs. Miller. It's all in the past now.""You're so forgiving, Mrs. Albert. I'm glad to hear it's all in the past."Kathryn didn't reply."You know, I was so disappointed by Amelia's actions. I've given her a stern lecture, and I'll make sure Mia faces punishment for what she said to you.""Aunt Grace!" Kathryn heard Mia cry out on the other end. At the same time, Grace turned around to glare at Mia threateningly. That finally shut Mia up."Thank you so much, Mrs. Miller. Do tell Ms. Davis that enough is enough. After all, Chris is a married man now, not some guy she can throw herself onto.""You're right, Mrs. Albert. I'll be sure to educate her properly," Grace said politely. She kept reassuring Kathryn. They ended up talking for over ten minutes before she finally hung up.Kathryn had been nervous the entire time. She had no idea how she was supposed to handle this. But then again, things weren't going to end

Grace instructed the butler to also send some health supplements. With that, she turned and went upstairs. When she reached the second floor, she looked down at Mia. "Mia, as your aunt, I'll give you one last piece of advice. You and Chris are never getting back together!""No, Chris and I are just having a lovers' quarrel. He and Kathryn are only bound by a marriage of convenience.""A marriage of convenience? Ha! If it was a sham marriage, why is he so protective?"Mia didn't know what to say. Her face paled again upon hearing Grace's words. Then, she choked out, "I told you, he's just being petty and trying to get revenge on me."She didn't want to accept that Chris was defending Kathryn at all. Grace didn't know how to deal with such stubbornness.So, her gaze got even harsher, and she said, "In that case, the Millers will officially cut ties with you!""What do you mean, Aunt Grace? Are you trying to cut Mom and me off?" Mia said in disbelief. She couldn't believe her aunt

Grace didn't protest when Vincent said Amelia would marry that mentally disabled man. It was obvious to Amelia that they'd reached an agreement before her return from Southvale.In the current climate, the Millers refrained from further provoking or bothering Chris. Hence, they were left to find their own solution to the mess they were in.And the best way was to marry Amelia off. "I'm your daughter, Mom! How could you?" Amelia looked at Grace in anguish. She couldn't believe her mother would marry her off to a mentally disabled man.Grace was already in a bad mood. She scoffed upon hearing Amelia's complaints. "Exactly. You're my daughter. How can you be so stupid?"She'd been used as a pawn without even knowing it. What good would crying do her now?"But Mia …""Is no longer part of our family!" Grace interrupted with a stern reminder that Mia wasn't her cousin anymore. This left Amelia in disbelief."What do you mean, Mom?" What did she mean, Mia was no longer part of their
Bright Future With Him Chapter 226
The more Grace thought about it, the angrier she got. "The wedding dresses will be here in just a moment. Pick one yourself.""Mom!""Pick something you like!""I don't like all of them!" Amelia was almost at her breaking point. Wearing something she liked while marrying a mentally challenged man? What could she possibly like? Nothing—she wouldn't like anything. However, Grace simply turned and left the room without arguing with her. It was the first time Amelia had seen her this impatient and distant.She couldn't believe her mother was telling her the truth. When they told her who she'd marry, she thought they were just trying to scare her. Now, she knew they weren't trying to scare her."No. No! Why are you doing this to me? I'm sorry, Mom! Let me out!" Amelia lost all hope when she heard the door lock. When it concerned Kathryn, she used to adamantly refuse any wrongdoing. Now, she was apologizing eagerly. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, Mom …"But no matter how much sh

Kathryn was perplexed when she saw Chris come out of the shower. When Chris noticed Kathryn staring at him from the couch, he walked over. With every step he took, the tension in the air grew more suffocating. Finally, Kathryn snapped out of her reverie. "M-Mr. Albert!" she called out. Right now, Chris was clad only in a white bath towel. They were standing so closely together. Kathryn could see his defined abs. She blushed uncontrollably.She was really worried the bath towel would drop. But then Chris tossed the towel in his hand into Kathryn's before saying, "Dry my hair!"After that, he sat on the single couch, opened his email inbox, and started doing urgent paperwork. He looked so busy. Kathryn wasn't sure if she should be approaching him.Kathryn felt a sense of absurdity wash over her. How could she harbor such impure thoughts about her seemingly innocent boss?When water droplets from Chris' hair dripped onto his phone's screen, he raised an eyebrow at Kathryn. "Why
Bright Future With Him Chapter 228
When Chris entered the bedroom, he saw her wrapped up like a cocoon and asked seriously, "Can you sleep comfortably like that?"Kathryn nodded. "That's not important, though!" The important thing was to ensure Chris' safety. Not only was she a sleepwalker, she sometimes ended up right on top of Chris.Luckily, he didn't punish her for it. If he did, she probably would have died several times over.Needless to say, when Kathryn woke up the next morning, she still … she didn't even know how to explain herself to Chris anymore. Apologizing wasn't enough now. Kathryn wished she could chop off her arms and legs."I really didn't mean it!" she said pitifully to Chris. Chris said nothing. He got up and walked to his closet. "Get up. Pick an outfit for me."Kathryn's body burned when she realized Chris was wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. Was he the type who didn't really care about privacy?Kathryn felt like she had a dirty mind again when Chris looked at her sharply. She was r

When she noticed Chris' bad mood, she quickly told him what Cara told her out of fear that he'd blame Cara. But when Chris was done listening, he simply stuck out a hand. "Let's go," he said."Huh?" Kathryn didn't understand, so Chris grabbed her cold hand and walked to the door while she protested. "Wait! I haven't even brushed my teeth." Kathryn's head hurt just watching Chris try to drag them both downstairs. Just how bad was his fight with Mia?She hadn't realized that maybe … Chris wasn't having a fight. Maybe he was just very serious about some things she wasn't aware of.When Chris and Kathryn came downstairs holding hands, Mia was sitting on the couch wearing a thin Christmas sweater and holding a hot cup of coffee.Kathryn instinctively looked at Chris, but there was no emotion on his face except coldness. It was like Mia being here made him really unhappy.When Mia saw them coming down together, her gaze landed on their hands. She immediately felt like she couldn't b

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.
