Bright Future With Him Chapter 292
Kathryn was teetering on the edge of a breakdown.She didn't think it through about her lie.Chris' return and questions came too suddenly. She wasn't prepared."I—"Kathryn's mind went blank.Chris said, "Look at me!"Kathryn felt a tightness in her chest. Nevertheless, she lifted her head. Their eyes met. Chris was no longer smiling. Kathryn wanted to avoid his gaze. However, Chris stopped her. "Don't lower your head!"Kathryn kept quiet. She froze. Her eyes were filled with grievance.Chris remained stern. "Now, tell me where the money from selling the house is supposed to go."For Kathryn, this interrogation felt more intimidating than any form of punishment."I—""Think carefully before you speak!"Kathryn shut up.She felt Chris's threat and a looming sense of danger.Chris said, "You don't want to tell me?"Kathryn answered, "My sister got divorced. She had never worked before, so I'm worried for her!""Does she need that much money?"Kathryn wanted to s
Bright Future With Him Chapter 293
At this point, Kathryn forgot how to breathe.Tally had handled the company's health check situation. Yet, Chris pointed out a problem with the results.Chris even wanted Kathryn to go to the hospital tomorrow. She couldn't allow that to happen!"It's just a checkup. It's okay not to go. I feel fine," Kathryn said, trying to sound calm. Yet, her inner world churned with turmoil. Chris commented, "Getting checked is a precaution. Your health holds great significance."There was an underlying meaning in Chris' words. Despite her anxiety, Kathryn could tell that Chris wasn't talking about her.Could it be that he already …Kathryn found the idea implausible. Chris couldn't have known.Chris asked, "Why? Are you hiding something?""Huh? Why would I?"Kathryn's heart nearly leaped out of her chest upon hearing Chris' question.Chris said, "Take a shower and rest. We'll go for the examination in the morning on an empty stomach.""Are we really going?"Right then, Kathryn sens
Bright Future With Him Chapter 294
Tally tentatively said, "Mr. Albert wants to take Kathryn for a medical checkup tomorrow. Can you do something?" She couldn't understand where Chris' sudden patience came from. He was even accompanying Kathryn to a medical checkup. His level of patience was remarkable. However, Kathryn couldn't afford this medical checkup.The cat would be out of the bag with this medical checkup.Meanwhile, on the other end, Markus was in his villa. He sat on the couch, swirling a glass of red wine. His gaze was sharp in the softly lit room, like a hawk's."Okay, I know what to do.""Thank you so much!" Tally relaxed when she didn't hear Markus rejecting. Her life was much easier with Markus.Little did she realize she and Kathryn had already been betrayed.Considering Markus's help, Tally was determined to excel at Skyline Group. She aimed for exceptional performance.…Meanwhile, at Rexton Manor, Chris placed his warm palm on Kathryn's belly. She was initially resistant.She eventually

Tally had reassured Kathryn that everything had been sorted out. Still, she couldn't help but be anxious on the way to the hospital. "Will you be waiting here?" Kathryn looked at Chris.Chris nodded and took Kathryn's bag from her.As they traveled to the hospital, Kathryn kept an eye on Chris's demeanor, trying to find any cues. She sensed Chris must know something. But his tranquil composure gave her the impression he probably had no idea. He wouldn't be this calm if he knew. Kathryn's phone buzzed as she walked into the ultrasound room. It was Wendy calling. She wanted to ignore it. However, Krista was using Wendy. So, she eventually told the doctor, "Sorry, I have to take this call." "Mrs. Albert, go ahead and answer the call," the doctor kindly allowed Kathryn. Kathryn was not used to this level of respect. She usually thought of doctors as serious and distant. They didn't usually fully explain things. And typically, asking again would likely lead to a stern respons
Bright Future With Him Chapter 296
Wendy didn't expect Krista to tell Kathryn everything.That woman …Wendy was seething with anger. Before Wendy could respond, Kathryn continued, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "You lost a lot of blood when you gave birth to me. And yet, you're teaming up with outsiders against me.""You …" Wendy's voice carried a trace of guilt. Kathryn said, "Had you not reached out to me, a glimmer of humanity might have remained in my perception of you, but now ..."Kathryn, who was in the hospital, looked at the sky-blue curtains before her. She was oddly clear-headed.She didn't know when her yearning for motherly affection began to fade. Therefore, she felt nothing even though she knew why Wendy had called her.Upon hearing that, Wendy completely lost her patience. "Humanity? What do you know? Listen well. No matter what you say, you have to …""How much is she giving you?"Wendy was abruptly halted by Kathryn's icy and menacing interjection. Kathryn was referring to Krista, of
Bright Future With Him Chapter 297
Given the circumstances, why bother keeping any good relations with her? Plus, they had no prior obligations. Given Kathryn's actions, Wendy felt no need to be courteous. "Feel free to create a commotion. However, let's ensure we get that one million first!" Maxwell exclaimed, visibly frustrated.Kathryn had been indifferent and uninvolved in the Gavin family's matters. So, Maxwell didn't feel favorably toward her.Maxwell had entirely forgotten his earlier behavior of asking Kathryn for money.His attitude could be best captured like this, "In times of want, they'd humble themselves like dogs to achieve their goals. But should their aspirations fall short, they'd wreak havoc as if there's no tomorrow."Wendy nodded in agreement. "Yes. That heartless bitch! I won't back down this time!"Patrick didn't say anything. He didn't recall much about this stepdaughter. After all, Jessica was the one who had grown alongside him."And you, stop gambling." Wendy directed her anger at Patr

Staring at the small dot, Chris felt a new and different sensation in his heart.Kathryn emerged from the ultrasound room half an hour later. Chris was standing outside.Kathryn saw him and went to him. "If you're tied up, you can head to the company first. I will carry on by myself." Chris glanced at his watch and said, "Let's go back together.""But …""We don't need to do everything else.""Huh?" Kathryn's face stiffened. What was his point in saying not doing everything else? She had suggested skipping the checkup the night before. Yet, Chris was the one who emphasized how crucial it was to prioritize good health. Now that the checkup had just begun, he was indicating that there was no need to carry on. What was the meaning of this?"Let's go!"Before Kathryn could figure it out, Chris had already turned and walked away. As she looked at his back, Kathryn found the entire situation to be absurd.She walked behind Chris, suppressing her frustration as she pouted.
Bright Future With Him Chapter 299
Chris' plan was rather interesting. Kathryn's role had shifted from being Chris's assistant to handling housekeeping tasks. Her dissatisfaction was evident, but she refrained from displaying it in Markus's presence.Chris trusted Markus the most. Consequently, anything that occurred was likely to reach Chris's awareness. If Kathryn voiced her concerns to Markus, it was probable that Chris would also be informed. She could only tactfully complain, 'Isn't the lounge task something that can be completed in just half an hour?Markus was silent."Besides, the lounge isn't a guest room. It doesn't require constant upkeeping. Isn't cleaning once a day enough?"She only had to work for half an hour. What was she supposed to do for the rest of the day? Markus nodded and said, "There may not be much to do now. But this is how tasks are assigned at the moment. We're training new staff too. Do this for now, and I will reassign you later." Kathryn was still not pleased. She remembe

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.
