Bright Future With Him Chapter 37
Outside the office, Elise and Pippa were purposefully walking past the door. They thought Kathryn would get yelled at after going in, and then she'd be fired. However, they had walked past the door several times by now. Nothing seemed to be happening. They exchanged looks. Just as they wondered whether she was fired, the office door suddenly opened. Chris came out with a spotless outfit … and Kathryn's hand in his?Elise and Pippa had been waiting to celebrate Kathryn getting fired, so they froze. They completely forgot to react when they saw the two holding hands.Kathryn was very anxious now! The hand Chris was holding felt like it was in an oven, and she flinched a bit under their heated gazes!"What's wrong?" Chris looked at her.Kathryn said nothing.Pippa and Elise gasped, especially when they saw Kathryn's limited edition, branded outfit.Could it be? Had she successfully seduced him? No way!It was easy to believe if they were talking about someone else, but this w

But leaving with her hand in his …Chris looked at her with zero warmth in his gaze. "Didn't Markus explain it to you?""What?""It's our agreement that needs to be kept secret!""Yes, that's what Mr. Hunt said. What's the difference between that and keeping our marriage secret?""Did he mention that no matter who asks what happened that night at Northvale, you have to say it was you?""Mmhmm." Kathryn nodded. He did say that.But it was fine if Chris didn't mention that night. Now that he did, she was getting nervous again."So you think our marriage needs to be a secret?"Kathryn still hadn't figured out what was going on, so she looked at him dumbly.Seeing her clueless look, he smacked her on the head!Now Kathryn understood. "Sorry, Mr. Albert. I thought we had to keep it a secret the whole time.""Ha! You think I need to hide my marriage?" Chris laughed coldly.It wasn't like they were doing something shameful. Why the secrets?Kathryn thought they were supposed to

Chris pushed Kathryn towards Emily and said, "Show your sister-in-law around. Give her a tour!""Have you come to your senses? Are you coming back?" Emily raised an eyebrow.Chris didn't reply. His eyes were full of anger!When Emily noticed that Chris didn't say anything, she took Kathryn's hand with a smile. "Leave her to me. Go."Chris nodded. He looked at Kathryn and said, "Wait half an hour for me, okay?""Okay!"Kathryn was very nervous. She had no idea what was going on. No one was arguing, but she felt like she couldn't breathe since she stepped into the house.Chris walked away. He'd barely taken a few steps when Emily yelled, "Chris!" Her voice was full of worry.Chris stopped, but he didn't look back. He simply asked coldly, "What?"Emily said in a low voice, "Don't anger Father. Please don't fall into traps too easily!"Listening to the reminder made Kathryn scared. Was this a home or a danger zone?She already thought that Jessica's life was torture after she ma

Franco coughed violently. Meanwhile, his petite wife kept trying to calm him down.Chris took Kathryn's hand and went straight for the door.Behind him, Franco was so angry his chest heaved up and down as he yelled, "You ingrate! You ungrateful boy!" Only a few minutes had passed by now. But this argument was something Kathryn had never seen before. After leaving the family, Kathryn looked at Chris nervously. She knew he had a stepmother. She just didn't know that the stepmother made things this chaotic!Chris pulled her over and pressed their lips together. She could hear the sound of a shutter going off. He'd captured the moment on his phone. Then Chris just let her go!Kathryn's face flushed, and she got even more nervous. "M-Mr. Albert…"Chris looked at her in a teasing manner. "Not used to it?"His face didn't have the fierceness and rage he had at Albert Manor anymore! He looked so gentle that Kathryn thought she was seeing things.This big change made Kathryn feel s

Chris had a business meeting at night, so he sent Kathryn back to Rexton Manor.But Kathryn wanted to go back to the company apartment. She missed Tally!Tally had called her many times since she entered Albert Manor. Now that Kathryn was finally separated from Chris, she quickly called her back.Tally picked up almost immediately and nearly jumped in surprise. "Why haven't you picked up my calls? Where are you?" she asked."I'm on the ground floor of the company apartment. I was with Mr. Albert, so I didn't dare pick up!" Kathryn said fearfully.Clearly, she still had yet to recover from the argument at Albert Manor."Get up here now," Tally said. "Do you want to get dinner?" Kathryn asked."No need. I have no appetite!" Tally replied.When Kathryn heard that Tally couldn't stomach food, she knew something was wrong. She hastily rushed upstairs. Tally's roommates had active social lives, so neither of them was home that night.When Kathryn entered the house, she could see

But then Tally noticed her outfit!She was the heiress of a rich family. She only left to gain experience in the working world, so she could tell it was branded, limited-edition outfit at once."What's with your outfit? Where have you been?" Tally asked, confused."Albert Manor!""Mr. Albert took you to his parents?" Tally was shocked. Looks like the marriage was a performance for the Albert family, then.She knew a little about the family conflict, so she was even more worried for Kathryn now.Speaking of meeting the parents, Kathryn felt a little conflicted. Did that meeting really count? The way those people looked at her, it was like they were going to eat her up.Still, Kathryn nodded. "Mmhmm, I guess he did!""Why didn't you stay for dinner?""Dinner? They probably would have eaten me for dinner!" Kathryn huffed.When she thought about what Chris said to Franco, she felt the wedding wouldn't go smoothly. In fact, it'd be very troublesome.When Tally heard that, she kne

Tally and Kathryn felt like they couldn't breathe! They felt like something had just exploded in their brains!The word "restoring" also weighed on them heavily. By the time Markus came out with a glass of water, they were still standing there. So, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?""Huh?" Kathryn snapped out of her daydreaming. Her breathing got even heavier. Oh, no! She was doomed!"Come on, help me confirm if this is the deleted footage!" Markus said.Does she even need to confirm it? Obviously, that was the footage.That was the only bit of footage they destroyed. Wouldn't he have found out by now if this was the wrong one?Tally hastily elbowed Kathryn, who took a deep breath and said, "Coming! Let me go to the bathroom first!"Markus nodded, then went into his office.When it was just Tally and Kathryn, they looked at each other. In the darkness, they could see that they were as pale as a ghost.Kathryn turned and was about to run off when Tally grabbed her and aske

Brian and Black were gone!Only Kathryn and Markus were left in the office now, and Markus looked at Kathryn with a sharp gaze.Kathryn's back was covered in cold sweat. She didn't even dare to look at Markus and stammered, "Um, I'll head back now since there's nothing else to do?""You stayed in Mr. Albert's room for two hours?" Markus asked sharply.Kathryn's heart skipped a beat! It was true that no one went in during that time … but Kathryn didn't come out, either. Markus had asked a simple question, but Kathryn was very nervous because of it.Feeling his pointed gaze, Kathryn became extremely guilty. She started stammering, "Well, b-b-because Mr. Albert threw up several times that night. I had to stay there and clean the whole time."There was silence in the air. Kathryn's legs were getting numb. She was scared that Markus would keep questioning her. She really couldn't take it anymore!Markus kept staring at her pointedly. After a while, just as she was about to turn aro

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.
