Bright Future With Him Chapter 236
Elise asked that question with confusion. She had no idea Kathryn's position was so secure. Did Chris have to get so angry just because she went into the meeting room?Markus gave her a cold look. "Is it really just a handover issue?" he asked sharply.Elise's breathing almost stopped. Obviously, her real goal was to replace Kathryn as Chris' assistant. But Chris had been okay with her working with him on Kathryn's days off.Why was this time … She knew Kathryn always made mistakes at work, so why did Chris like to work with her so much?When Elise didn't say anything, Markus huffed, "I thought you'd be smarter than Pippa. I guess not.""Mr. Hunt!" Elise was shocked to hear Markus say that and looked at him in disbelief. Her chest seized up even more."If this happens again, you'll get kicked out of Albert Group. Got it?" Markus said with a harsh tone. Elise was still frustrated at first, but she started shaking when she heard what Markus said. Then, she took a deep breath and

Kathryn lowered her head when she heard Chris speak coldly. She replied faintly, "I don't have the nerve to do it."Kathryn was being honest. Chris didn't allow anyone else to enter his lounge, so she had always been in charge of cleaning it. She wasn't reluctant when she heard him saying something like that.She felt wronged. She wondered when Chris became so unreasonable."I don't think so." Chris sneered when he saw Kathryn lowering her head pitifully.Kathryn didn't dare to refute. Chris was too fierce. She understood from his tone that if she dared to refute him anymore, it might lead to serious consequences.Chris glanced at her and said fiercely, "There are times when you have to remember who you are."Kathryn understood what he implied. Her recalcitrance grew.Kathryn raised her head and looked at Chris with reddened eyes. "Mr. Albert, I know who I am. I always remember that our marriage is only a marriage of convenience, and I will never forget it."Chris had lowered h

Kathryn had difficulty holding back her yearning for her grandmother that day. She was crying so hard that she could hardly breathe. Suddenly, her body fell into a fiery set of arms. She tried to struggle out of her subconscious, but she heard a familiar voice of a man. "Don't move."Chris' voice was husky, which embraced Kathryn in calmness. She could smell the smell of cologne on him. It gave her a sense of familiarity and security. It made her sniffle.Her tears fell on the back of his hand. Chris never knew that tears were warm. He felt the burning sensation on his hand, aching his heart.Chris sighed. "Crying like a baby."His words intensified the grievance within Kathryn, making it grow stronger. She had always lived up to her grandmother's words, which urged her to succeed.Kathryn believed that what she meant was money. She would do well if she had money.That was why she had been desperate to buy a house at Harborlean, a city where every inch of land was pricey and

Markus was taken aback by Chris' sudden change in attitude. He thought that what he had seen was an illusion. It was impossible for Chris to comfort someone.Kathryn called out, her voice filled with grievance. "Mr. Albert!""I'll raise it to two hundred if this continues.""Alright, alright. I'm sorry." Kathryn was frightened. She might lose all her salary if this were to continue. She thought that Chris was too cruel.Chris sneered when he saw Kathryn looking dissatisfied. "Are you going to do it again?""No." Kathryn vigorously shook her head. The price she paid for crying was far too steep. Naturally, she was determined not to let herself cry again. At first, Chris' voice sounded fierce to Markus. Yet, the latter found it oddly perplexing. It carried an undertone that seemed more like an expression of affection for her. "I'll go back to work now." Kathryn was too afraid to linger, seeing as Chris remained silent. She hurried out of the office. She was worried that she woul

Chris paused, his gaze sharpening. "It's either one of them, Tally or Kathryn," Markus stated. Their investigation had narrowed to focus on both of them. If Tally was the one who destroyed the footage, she must have done it for herself or Kathryn.Upon hearing Markus' explanation, Chris found himself sharing the same train of thought. A chilling intensity crossed his eyes."Focus the investigation on Tally." Chris gritted his teeth. He hoped that by concentrating the investigation on Tally, she could be cleared of their suspicions. If it was between Tally and Kathryn, Chris couldn't deny his desire for it to be Kathryn.Markus nodded. "Okay."Kathryn and Tally remained unaware that Markus had been investigating them. They had been having their secret meetings at work. With Tally currently jobless, she was enjoying a full month's holiday following her resignation. Hence, Kathryn decided to meet Tally over coffee to discuss their next course of action. Nonetheless, Kathryn
Bright Future With Him Chapter 241
Their discussion continued for a while. Tally revealed to Kathryn that she had made arrangements for an abortion at a hospital. She mentioned that the doctor involved was her friend.Since Kathryn was Chris' wife, she had to be careful in doing anything, unlike before. Any leaks could have significant consequences, especially if Chris were affected."Tally, you're a lifesaver." Tally's thoughtful arrangements deeply moved Kathryn. Tally sighed. "What else would you have done if I hadn't stepped in?"It was a valid point. Even though Kathryn had a mother, it felt like she had none.Their discussion carried on until Chris phoned Kathryn.Tally informed Kathryn that the hospital appointment was scheduled for the following afternoon. She suggested Kathryn find some excuse to leave.The moment Tally and Kathryn left the café, a woman, who had been sitting beside them, took off her cap.Mia's face was pale. Darkness flashed across her eyes. "Kathryn Michaels, how dare you …" Mia t

Kathryn's phone rang suddenly, just as both Kathryn and Chris were about to speak. Kathryn pulled out her phone to check. It was from an unknown number. The phone call provided a timely diversion for Kathryn. She succeeded in steering the conversation away. "Excuse me for a moment. Let me take this call."Before Chris could say anything, Kathryn left the office with her phone.A smile graced Chris' lips as he watched her leave. He admired Kathryn's audacity. Although he had instructed Markus to focus the investigations on Tally, he had his suspicions. In fact, he was pretty confident in his conjecture. Kathryn hurried outside and answered the call. "Hello.""Kathryn." Lloyd's gentle voice emanated from the phone. His voice sent a shiver down Kathryn's spine. She couldn't pinpoint exactly what she was afraid of.Kathryn surmised that her apprehension might stem from the physical contact she'd shared with him that night at Southvale. Chris even made a fuss about it. She did

Kathryn didn't want to make things complicated. Therefore, she ultimately sought Chris' permission. She was not willing to bear the consequences of Chris learning of her private meeting with Lloyd. Chris' intense gaze met hers when she entered the office. Chris was the first to speak. "Who was it?"Kathryn didn't hide it from him. She said, "Mr. Robbins.""Lloyd Robbins?" Chris' face fell instantly. He was surprised that Kathryn and Lloyd were still contacting each other in private.Observing his reaction, Kathryn knew right away that Chris was displeased. Lloyd seemed to be a taboo subject. Kathryn blamed Llyod for her current circumstances. "Why did he have to employ a woman to seduce him when they were discussing their collaboration?" Kathryn mused.Kathryn was confident that the collaboration's failure was due to Alexandra. However, she understood that Lloyd wouldn't know what a gentleman would be like.Kathryn nodded. "Yes. It's Mr. Lloyd Robbins."Kathryn's tone was cal

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.
