Bright Future With Him Chapter 265
Still, the things Chris already did to the Millers had probably scared Kathryn and Tally to death. If Markus hadn't found out about the truth, who knows how long they'd keep trying to hide it?Chris smiled when he thought of Kathryn's nervous attitude around him. "That brat …"Markus was rendered speechless, pondering, "That brat? Is Chris nicknaming Kathryn now? Is it meant to be derogatory?" He was grateful Kathryn was the mystery woman. Otherwise, all hell would have broken loose."What about Kathryn?" Markus asked, trying to gauge Chris' reaction."You've already arranged things with Tally, right?""Mm-hmm, yeah." Markus nodded."Forget about her for now," Chris said. He really had no plans to tell Kathryn for now.Markus nodded. "Got it!" Either way, Chris knew the truth, so his job was done. As for what the man had planned … Markus was about to leave when Chris spoke again. "Find out which hospital she's going to tomorrow. Then, bribe the doctor to tell her …""To tel

Chris nodded. "Don't let her find out.""What are you going to do?" Markus couldn't resist asking. He was really worried that Chris would scare Kathryn silly. After all, he knew just how timid she was. If Chris scared her too much, something could go wrong.However, Chris only laughed coldly. "I want to see just how far she'll take this."Markus didn't know what to say. Kathryn had already gone too far just by hiding the pregnancy from him. How much further did he want to see her go? Still, he trusted that Chris knew his limits. He didn't get angry when he found out about Kathryn's pregnancy, so that meant he still wanted the baby.On the other hand, Kathryn had been anxious for the whole afternoon. Chris wasn't angry yet, even though it had been half an hour since Markus left his office. So, she finally believed that Tally had taken care of things. On the way home from work, Kathryn studied Chris. "What are you looking at?" Chris pinched her petite face."You seem like

Cara smiled even more as she watched Kathryn's confused look. She assumed Chris had probably liked Kathryn for her cluelessness. "Mr. Chris phoned ahead for tonight's dinner. Everything here is a favorite dish of yours," she added.Kathryn was puzzled when she found out that Chris had asked Cara to make her favorite dishes. She pondered if he really was that kind. Kathryn couldn't believe it. After all, she was very aware of what Chris used to be like."Alright, go get Mr. Chris to eat," Cara said."Okay. I'll take this out for you." Kathryn grabbed a plate and headed outside. When she got to the living room, Chris was making a call on the couch. He was going to smoke, but for some reason, he'd placed his unlit cigarette back into the box. When Kathryn walked out of the kitchen, he hung up and stepped forward. "Don't do that," he said, then took the plate from her.Kathryn looked at Chris in disbelief and shock. Was he … caring about her? She refused to believe that. Chri

Grace was the same person who suggested marrying Amelia off, too. Amelia was furious, but she couldn't do anything about it.Mia's face was positively pitiful. "Do you have any money to lend me, Amelia? I'll pay you back another day."Amelia's heart ached when she realized Mia was asking for money. Mia had thought she'd be the next Mrs. Albert, but now she was toeing the poverty line. "This is all I have."Amelia transferred all her cash to Mia, who was shocked to see that there were only a few thousand dollars. "Amelia! You're …"Was Amelia trying to get rid of her with just a few thousand dollars? Mia was a little offended.Amelia looked at her, conflicted. "You know Dad froze all my credit cards." That was why she'd never considered escaping after they locked her up. No matter where she ran, she'd need money, which she didn't have.When Mia heard Amelia's reply, she realized her cousin's situation was no better than hers. Not only was Amelia marrying Robert Banks, the mental
Bright Future With Him Chapter 269
Whenever Grace thought about what the family was going through, she remembered Mia being the cause of it all. Why would she even want to see her right now?It was her fault Amelia was like this."I'm sorry, Aunt Grace. I was wrong," Mia sobbed pitifully. She didn't want to stay at a motel. She'd called her mother, but she said she was remarrying, so Mia couldn't go back for now.Mia had been planning to ask for money, but her mother had hung up before she could even finish her sentence. Her mother had always been unreliable. Why else would she have needed to rely on the Millers? Now that Grace was hellbent on kicking her out, she had nowhere to go."You were wrong? This mess isn't something you can fix just by saying that!""I know, I know," Mia said in agony. "Please forgive me, Aunt Grace. I swear, I won't do it again."The Millers had already been through enough as it was, so Grace didn't react nicely at all when she saw Mia crying. "Enough already! What are you crying for
Bright Future With Him Chapter 270
Neither Mia nor Amelia expected Grace to side with Kathryn."Who do you think you were when you dumped Mrs. Albert's luggage?""Chris was Mia's first!""Ha! Mia's? How so? Did they get their marriage certificate? Or did they have a wedding?"Amelia didn't know what to say. Grace's tone got harsher as she looked at Mia's pale face coldly. "But he and Kathryn do have a marriage certificate. They're the real couple!"Amelia still couldn't think of anything to say."It's a miracle she didn't get Chris to punish you two directly. She could have gotten someone to beat you to death, and you still would have deserved it!"Grace was someone who would defend her loved ones a lot, but she wasn't unreasonable. She didn't know her daughter was such a bastard until she found out what really happened in Southvale.When Amelia heard Grace's accurate analysis of the incident, she still tried to protest and said, "They just have a marriage of convenience!""Convenience? If Chris really liked
Bright Future With Him Chapter 271
Although what Grace said affected Amelia's view, Amelia still believed Mia when she saw how sad she was. Amelia said, "I know you didn't!"Mia replied, "But Aunt Grace …""Don't listen to her. She's been so busy dealing with our mess that she has gotten senile," Amelia interrupted. She had seen how harsh her mother could be after their family got into trouble. The more she acted this way, the more reason Amelia had to doubt her.Kathryn was to blame for the Millers' problems, yet Grace blamed all of it on Mia."You really believe me?" Mia asked."Who else am I supposed to believe?" Amelia said in a reassuring tone, then patted Mia's hand. Mia felt a lot better upon hearing Amelia's determined tone. A tear slid down her cheek as she nodded repeatedly. "Thank you, Amelia. Thank you so much."Thank goodness Amelia believed her. Otherwise, she really would have been alone in Harborlean.But then Amelia thought of something and said, "You know I can't help you with much, so you
Bright Future With Him Chapter 272
"It hurts so much, Amelia! How could he do this to me? It hurts!" Mia was indeed hurting, but she also wanted to convince Amelia. They were going to keep talking when a servant came to the room and bowed to Mia, respectfully but firmly saying, "Please leave, Ms. Davis!""What's with that attitude, Ms. Murphy?" Amelia was offended by her disrespect."Mrs. Miller said it was time for Ms. Davis to leave. She was already very clear about that!" Ms. Murphy said, her tone clearly mocking Mia's shamelessness.Mia's face paled. This didn't feel right at all, being someone whom Aunt Grace wanted to kick out. This place had been her home since childhood, so why … "Mia!" Amelia looked at her with pity.Mia forced a smile, then said, "I'm off, then.""I'll tell Mom!""Have you forgotten, Ms. Amelia? You're forbidden from going past this door." Ms. Murphy's tone sharpened. Clearly, she was reminding Amelia not to mind other people's business when she couldn't even handle her own. Amelia

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
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.
