Bright Future With Him Chapter 406
Chris checked the time and noticed that his meeting was about to start. He stopped teasing the blushing Kathryn and stood up. "Alright. Wait for me here, okay?""Mr. Huber wants me to go to Arctic Splendor this afternoon.""This afternoon?" Chris raised his brows, realizing that he had an engagement scheduled for that afternoon."Yes. Mr. Huber wants me to go alone. He said someone would pick me up."Chris didn't say anything. He frowned, contemplating Kathryn's words about Lewis arranging transportation for her. He had forgotten that she still had Lewis to rely on.He nodded. "Alright, I'll fetch you back later.""Okay." Kathryn nodded in agreement. With that, Chris left and headed to his meeting.Kathryn sat on the couch and patted her face, which had turned hot. She couldn't help but reflect on how Chris had treated her just now. She couldn't shake the thought that he might have kissed her because of the 100 million dollars.She refused to believe it. Yet, she couldn't fig

Lewis walked over to the coffee table and took a sip of his tea. He kept his sharp gaze on Kathryn. Even when Kathryn deliberately tried to avoid eye contact, she could still sense his intense scrutiny. Kathryn was timid for a reason. She hadn't experienced a stable living environment during her formative years. Constantly moving to new places meant adapting to the diverse personalities of people she encountered. She had learned how to avoid drawing attention to herself.Lewis glared at her. "What happened with the Albert family yesterday?""Huh? Why?" Kathryn's hand wavered as she continued to polish the sculpture, and the abrasive sound grew harsher.Lewis was already seething with frustration. He couldn't understand why she seemed so intimidated. He growled, "Am I that intimidating?"Kathryn had the urge to cry.Lewis was highly annoyed by how pitiful she looked. "How did you end up with that bastard from the Albert family?""I …" Kathryn was stumped. How could she explai
Bright Future With Him Chapter 408
Lewis believed that Kathryn had a promising future, especially given her significant improvement in working on relief sculptures. He was confident that success through her own effort would be more fulfilling than marrying into a wealthy family. That was why he had been teaching her everything he knew."I'll inform Mr. Albert about it today." Kathryn didn't object. After all, their marriage was coming to an end.Lewis' temper improved as he noticed Kathryn's obedience. Since she had left Arctic Splendor with Chris, he had been worried about her vulnerability due to her gentle nature."Let's have lunch. Mr. Fleming had prepared your favorite garlic-roasted chicken.""R-Really?" Kathryn's spirits immediately lifted. Despite her timid nature, she couldn't resist her love for good food.Lewis sneered as he observed her reaction. "He doesn't provide you with enough food?""It's not that. It's just that we have different tastes."Her meals had become quite extravagant after her mar

It would benefit Kathryn's career if the economic growth of Harborlean were significant.Lewis thought Kathryn had been working hard all these years to stay in Harborlean. She had even updated her residential status on her ID.He couldn't figure out what she meant by wanting to leave Harborlean. He thought he had misheard her.Kathryn lowered her head embarrassingly. "I'll leave Harborlean once I divorce Mr. Albert."Upon hearing it for the second time, Lewis' breathing deepened. His face looked serious as he asked, "Do you like him?""No.""You're not leaving because the relationship hurts you? Why are you leaving, then?"Kathryn was hesitating about whether she should tell him. She knew how stubborn Lewis was after living with him for so many years. She couldn't hide it from him since he asked about it.She took a deep breath. "I …" Kathryn didn't dare to continue.Yet, Lewis wouldn't give up if she refused to speak the truth. He might even try to investigate it secretly,
Bright Future With Him Chapter 410
Lewis glared at Kathryn fiercely. "I will seek justice for you today, no matter what."His determination was unwavering. He believed a powerful and wealthy family like the Alberts shouldn't refuse to accept her into their fold. Tears streamed down Kathryn's cheeks as anxiety consumed her. "I don't need justice. I want to go back."She couldn't bear to contemplate Chris's reaction if he discovered she was the woman from that night in Northvale and that she was now pregnant. Even though she had planned to leave Harborlean, she didn't want to die.Since graduating from school, Kathryn knew that Chris was the one person in Harborlean she should never offend. She knew just how powerful he was, especially after he had brought her to Sunshine Bay.Lewis could hardly breathe when he heard what she said. His glare was like a sharp knife, threatening to cut to the bone.In a fit of fury, he scolded her, "Look at yourself! Your grandmother would roll in her grave if she knew how useless

Chris had done nothing wrong. Lewis understood that everything that had unfolded was a series of unfortunate coincidences.Even though Lewis had weathered various trials and tribulations in his life, he found himself unable to easily cope with this situation. The news of Kathryn's pregnancy deeply troubled him."But it remains a fact that you're pregnant. He should bear some responsibility.""I've already told you that I initiated it. How could I expect him to take responsibility? I would be grateful if he didn't kill me," Kathryn replied, her voice filled with sorrow. She had always heeded her grandmother's advice, believing in marrying someone she loved and living a happy life. In her mind, a happy life meant someone to accompany her home after work, take care of her when she fell ill, and share the joy of pregnancy with her husband.However, she was now consumed by fear and anxiety about her pregnancy. She was far from happy. The thought of Chris firing her, seizing her ho

Chris sat on the couch with Kathyrn in his arms as they entered his office. He pinched her chin. "Are you so eager to divorce me?""No. It's just that you have taken over BreezCorizon, haven't you?"She had always been under the impression that they could divorce once Chris began overseeing the foreign businesses. She believed she was of no further use to him.However, Chris said, "We'll divorce once I take over the Baydem Group."His tone was somewhat half-hearted when discussing the divorce. "When do you think that will happen?" Kathryn asked."It's hard to tell. It depends on their decisions. The soonest would be in about one or two months."Kathryn was nervous. If Chris couldn't take over the Baydem Group soon, she might give birth before they could finalize their divorce. She gasped and looked at Chris, her mind racing. "You won't be able to take over if we divorce, right?""They're not stupid," Chris replied calmly.Kathryn was gripped by panic. Even if Chris' plan to t

A glint of amusement danced in Chris' eyes as he observed how earnest Kathryn sounded. "Do you really think that the people at Albert Manor are that stupid?"Kathryn was silent."They would likely have you under constant surveillance, given the trouble you've caused them."Was there no hope of getting a divorce at all? Kathryn was in a state of complete panic. Chris had mentioned that it might take one or two months at the soonest to take over the Baydem Group. But it had taken him a long time to get Krista to hand over BreezCorizon. Besides, Krista wasn't the easiest person to deal with. The Baydem Group was Krista's life. Kathryn doubted Krista would relinquish it easily. Kathryn's frustration was mounting. She looked at Chris with an aggrieved expression. She couldn't say anything. She even considered coming clean to Chris. Keeping the secret had become an unbearable torture for her. She wouldn't have hidden it from him for such a long time if it weren't for her house, ba

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.
