Bright Future With Him Chapter 227
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
Bright Future With Him Chapter 229
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
Bright Future With Him Chapter 230
Mia called out to him in agony. "So why are you telling me all this? Do you think I'm trying to get revenge on you?" Chris asked."Aren't you?" Why was he being so ruthless with Miller Group if he wasn't?Chris smiled mockingly. "You think I'm that immature?"Mia's breath hitched, and her face paled as she stared at him. Even Kathryn stopped eating her oatmeal and stared at Chris upon hearing his harsh question.Upon hearing that he wasn't trying to get back at her, Kathryn was stunned."Revenge. Ha!" Chris scoffed with such mockery. He was clearly laughing at the way Mia had no self-awareness. Meanwhile, Mia could only stare at him with disbelief."Go back, and never come here again."Mia was speechless. What did he mean? Before she could reply, Chris continued, "And don't show your face in front of me again.""You hate me that much?" Mia asked. Did he hate her so much that he was fine with being cruel? If he was getting back at her out of hatred, he'd certainly succee
Bright Future With Him Chapter 231
Mia left, and Kathryn resumed eating, but the whole room had a tension that made her feel like a stretched rubber band. When Chris got to the dining table, he pulled his chair closer with a thud louder than usual. Kathryn closed her eyes, thinking she was doomed. Mia and Chris' fight was going to affect her too. But Chris didn't move. He simply looked at Kathryn.Kathryn ate another spoonful of oatmeal and grumbled, "You're the one who asked me to handle it." She couldn't be blamed for this.Reflecting on it, whatever Kathryn said yesterday must have triggered Mia badly. This was evident from the fact that Mia spent the entire night waiting for Chris with so little clothing on. It was apparent that Mia was playing the victim, and Kathryn only felt more disgust toward her.When Chris still didn't reply, she mustered up the courage to look at him. To her surprise and shock, he was smiling. "Mr. Albert, are you okay?" she asked.Did his anger drive him mad? Why was he smiling?
Bright Future With Him Chapter 232
At that moment, a surge of jealousy overwhelmed Mia to the point of near insanity. Her phone rang from inside her handbag. She quickly fished it out and answered the call. "Hello?"She could barely hide her rage when she spoke."It's me!" said Krista. When Mia heard her voice, she instantly came to her senses. Only then did she remember why she'd come here and why she had to go back.Her Chris … wasn't hers anymore. So what if she managed to break him and Kathryn up? She still wouldn't get to be with him."Didn't you go to Southvale? Why haven't Chris and Kathryn called off their wedding yet?" Krista still hadn't realized that Chris was the cause of all the trouble Miller Group was going through.When Mia heard Krista's accusing tone, she scoffed. "So what if they did? Have you forgotten, Mrs. Albert? They're already legally married. They have the marriage certificate to prove it!" Mia practically roared the word "certificate." Their goal wasn't to get the wedding called off. Th
Bright Future With Him Chapter 233
After hearing what Krista said, Mia started thinking. So what if Kathryn got torn to pieces? Would Chris really be hers? Could they really go back to how things used to be?Meanwhile, Krista continued to threaten Mia. "Listen to me, Mia. If you mess things up again, you can forget about being a ballet competition winner overseas!"Krista spoke each word with cruelty. Upon learning her career was being threatened, an unbearable hatred surged within Mia. She wanted Chris. She wasn't going to listen to Krista at all. She wanted to be with Chris, to be his Mrs. Albert. She wanted all these people, who threatened her and made her a pawn, to lose."Did you hear me?" Krista asked again when Mia didn't reply."I got it!" Mia uttered through gritted teeth, her voice laden with hatred. She was worried she might lose her temper, but Krista hung up before she could say anything.Meanwhile, Kathryn and Chris were going to Albert Group in the same car when Chris got a call from Albert Manor,
Bright Future With Him Chapter 234
Since Chris had already given his word as her boss, Kathryn felt a little better. If he'd asked her to suck up to Franco and get him to back off about their wedding, she wouldn't have been able to do that. But if she didn't need to tolerate their disrespect, then it was alright.At that time, the entire company felt surprised. They couldn't believe a country girl like Kathryn had married a rich man. This happened when the news about their marriage was first told to everyone.There were a lot of disdainful and mocking comments. But after she and Chris went on that business trip for a whole week, they pretty much accepted it.The only people in the assistants' department were Kathryn, Emily, Tara, Janet, and Elise. Janet wasn't at work today. Emily was a hard worker, and Tara was average.Elise had worked there the longest. Since Markus was about to quit, everyone thought Elise would be the next department head. That was why Elise started acting bossy.Of course, she was still cau

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
Bright Future With Him Chapter 1340
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
Bright Future With Him Chapter 1337
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.
