Bright Future With Him Chapter 318
Kathryn no longer dared to go out for food alone, especially since Tally had resigned. It had nearly become impossible for her to handle things on her own. Chris and Kathryn had just gotten in the car when she received a phone call from Jessica."Jessica.""If Maxwell happens to call you again, please don't bother with him.""He's still trying to find me even though I've been rejecting him like this?" Kathryn pouted her lips. She hadn't been treating Maxwell kindly. She had been quite harsh with him.However, she couldn't shake the memory of how shameless they could be. Kathryn believed they would keep trying to find her. "He will," Jessica replied."He called you too?" Kathryn asked."Yeah, he asked for money."Kathryn was left speechless. At this point, she couldn't believe Maxwell's shameless requests for money.It was, after all, Maxwell's nature. It wasn't rare for him to ask them for money. They couldn't escape from someone like Maxwell, even if they had turned agains

Chris smiled upon hearing how furious Kathryn was. "You truly have no care for them at all?"He was genuinely surprised by how ruthless she could be when she set her mind to it. Back then, he had perceived her as timid when he didn't know her well. He had believed it was impossible for someone seemingly timid to possess such determination. Now, Chris had come to realize that Kathryn knew her own mind, and her certainty surprised him. Kathryn shook her head. "I don't have to. They don't deserve it."Wendy and Maxwell only wanted money from her. Maxwell wouldn't be treating her like that if she had been penniless. Wendy would never look her up either. Kathryn looked sad when she replied to Chris. She took a deep breath and continued, "I wasn't with Grandma when she passed away. I was still in junior high school. Nobody noticed that she had passed away in the house for three days."Chris kept silent."My neighbor told me that Wendy didn't even visit her once when she was sick. S

Chris had a strict policy when it came to his staff members crying in front of him. Regardless of the reason, he would terminate their employment immediately. It wasn't just a rumor, but something that had indeed happened before. "Okay, you've never cried." Chris nodded with a smile when he saw how anxious she looked.Kathryn couldn't help but feel like he didn't fully believe her. He even sounded like he knew something. Kathryn suddenly realized that Chris' attitude for the past few days seemed unusual, leading her to wonder if he had found out something. Anxiety consumed Kathryn. Chris brought her to one of the famous main streets in Harborlean. The warm street lights lining the roadside made her heart warm. The street was dotted with numerous diners and restaurants. Kathryn had visited this street with Tally before, but it was during the daytime. It was nighttime at the moment, which had a more special vibe."A-Are we going to eat here?" Kathryn looked at Chris with surpri

Mia kept her gaze on Chris and Kathryn. She was sobbing. "He's so nice to her."Who could believe that their marriage was a sham now? Their interaction and relationship weren't like those in a convenience marriage."He never brought you somewhere like here before, did he?" Amelia looked at Mia. She was distressed.She had persuaded her mother to let her go out so that she could bring Mia to relax. She didn't expect that it would make things worse.Mia shut her eyes, unable to restrain her tears any longer. Tears streamed down her cheeks. "I've nearly forgotten what he's truly like."She wondered whether the person she saw before her was the real Chris. If it were indeed the case, did it mean she had never glimpsed his true self during the years they had spent together? Amelia's fury swelled upon hearing Mia's words, and she longed to rip Kathryn apart."Mia, are you going to give up like this?" Amelia exclaimed in fury. She held the belief that Mia's love for Chris was unwaveri

Vincent hadn't been home and was continuously occupied with business affairs.Things were getting worse. Without the Banks family's help, the Miller Group might have gone bankrupt. Time was running out. Mia couldn't help but notice Amelia's growing irrationality. At the same time, a cunning idea was taking shape in Mia's mind. …Chris bought Kathryn some snacks. Kathryn munched on them as they strolled down the street.These treats were her favorites. Even though they came in small portions, they were quite pricey. She used to think twice about indulging in them. However, with Chris footing the bill, she relished them without holding back. "Hold on," Chris said. Kathryn turned around, and in an instant, Chris caught her arm. He had a tissue in hand, which he used to wipe off some food stains from the corner of her mouth.Kathryn glanced at the now-soiled tissue, feeling a bit bashful. "It's delicious.""You like it?"Kathryn nodded. "Yeah.""But you shouldn't indulge i

Kathryn was puzzled. Yet, she was very aware of how their relationship worked. Chris' words made her even more conscious of it.No matter what Chris did to her, she couldn't change the fact that they were indeed in a sham marriage."Okay. Aren't you tired?" Chris noticed that Kathryn kept silent. He thought he had frightened her and decided to stop teasing her.Kathryn nodded and stood up. "Yeah. I'll go have a shower now."However, the moment she spun around, Chris remarked, "Some things, it's best not to dwell on them. Allow things to take their course!" Yet, Kathryn couldn't understand the underlying message in his words. She interpreted Chris' statement as a warning against overestimating herself. He held the power to do as he pleased with her now, and her only recourse was acquiescence. Otherwise, she would lose her money and her house.Kathryn felt aggrieved all of a sudden. Her cheerful self on the street earlier was nowhere to be found. Chris had a stranglehold on he

Kathryn and Jessica would have let Patrick and Maxwell starve if Wendy hadn't been released."Those bitches!" Wendy thought. She was furious."We had spent all our money to come to you. We really have no money left," Maxwell said."You didn't ask Jessica for help?" Wendy asked. She knew that they couldn't ask for any more money from Kathryn.Their only hope in Harborlean was Jessica. She didn't expect that Jessica would now treat them the same way Kathryn did.Maxwell looked disappointed. "I've called her a few times, but she didn't even answer my calls. How can I get money from her?""She was so ruthless as well?" Wendy refused to believe it.Jessica had been submissive to her previous requests. She was surprised when Maxwell told her that Jessica didn't give them any money.Maxwell shared the same sentiment. He remembered how cold and indifferent Jessica was. He eyed Wendy warily. "Did you really do that to Jessica like …"Maxwell couldn't bring himself to finish his questio

Kathryn found herself with nothing to do at work. She had arrived at the office early in the morning and meticulously cleaned the lounge. Yet, only an hour had passed since she completed her cleaning duties. She sat on the couch and unplugged her charging phone. She dialed Tally's number without first checking for any missed calls.Tally was swamped at the moment."Kathryn, aren't you supposed to be working right now?" Tally expressed her surprise at receiving the call. Mornings were typically the busiest time for every department in the company. "I've turned into a caretaker now. I literally have nothing to do.""What?" Tally grabbed her phone and searched for a secluded spot away from other people. She had just started working at her new company and had a lot of work. Yet, that didn't stop her from concerning Kathryn."I just have to clean and tidy up Mr. Albert's lounge now. Everything else was handed over to the newcomer.""What's there to clean?" Tidying up the lounge

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.
