Bright Future With Him Chapter 424
What was going on? If Krista had known Chris would oppose her this strongly, she never would have let him leave alive.Krista was so furious she ground her teeth. Just as Franco was about to lose his temper again, Savanna said firmly, "Both of you need to take a walk."After all, things had happened so quickly that it was pointless to discuss it right now. Finally, Franco swallowed his words upon Savanna's advice, scoffed, and left Albert Manor.Seeing Franco leave Albert Manor so many times pissed Krista off even more. "You see that? This is how he treats me nowadays! He barely cares about me!"Every time he got mad, he would go out. When did things get so bad between them? He used to reassure her after every fight. The more Krista thought about it, the more unfair she thought it was.Savanna took a deep breath. "Alright, let's not worry about his attitude for now." It was undeniable that Franco had changed, and they were unlikely to change him back.The only thing they coul

In the car, Chris took Kathryn's hand. When he felt coldness, he frowned. "Why didn't you wear more layers? You're so cold.""I was probably so scared that it messed with my blood circulation," Kathryn said. She actually wasn't that cold.Chris froze upon hearing her reply. "You're so cowardly. What am I going to do with you?" He was there with her at Albert Manor. Wasn't she able to piss them off to the point of sending them to the hospital, too?However, this was different. This time, Kathryn had been scared by those people's craziness and shouting. Meanwhile, Kathryn looked at him with disapproval and took her hand back, still blushing. Every time Chris touched her, all she could think about were the dirty memories of their intimacy.When Chris noticed her red face, he pinched it fondly. "What's wrong?""Don't touch me!""Oh? What will happen if I do?" Chris said with a suggestive tone that almost made Kathryn stop breathing. This man was acting completely different comp

"There's a huge difference!" Tally exclaimed. Both technically implied an escape, but they held distinct implications. If Kathryn escaped, got caught, and her pregnancy was discovered, they'd be in big trouble. And it wouldn't just be Kathryn, but the entire Johnson family too."If you ran away after a fight, you're just throwing a tantrum Mr. Albert caused. He's the one in the wrong here," Tally explained. "But if you run away in secret," she continued, "You're just a pregnant woman trying to have his child in secret. What woman has ever survived doing that?"A corner of Kathryn's lips twitched. She'd been with Chris for so long, so she knew what that meant. A woman called Lily Ruth showed up with his baby once, and Chris had sent his bodyguards to take her to the hospital for an abortion.All of Albert Group and even Harborlean knew how ruthless he could be, so she winced and nodded. "So I'll need to pick a fight with him?""Yep, fight him!" Tally nodded, then immediately

When Chris didn't answer, his mysterious gaze made Kathryn's chest tighten. But then she remembered Tally's analysis, and she pressed on. "Tell me. How much do you have?""How much do you want?""All of it."Chris was speechless. All of it? Was this woman joking?"You've hugged me and slept with me, so I need to know if you are being serious.""What do you think?" Chris countered with a question instead of answering her, then looked at her amusedly. He wanted to see what she was trying to do.She was a coward, but she was also smart. Kathryn's heart skipped a beat when she sensed the wit in his tone. Still, she worked up her courage and shot back shamelessly."If you're serious, then you need to let me handle all of your money. It's what couples do.""You want to handle my money?""Can't I?" Kathryn huffed.Chris nodded. "Yes, you can." Then, he took out his wallet and gave it to her."Huh?" Kathryn asked."Didn't you ask to handle my money? It's all in here. Take it."

"Alright, I am," Kathryn said. She was unhappy that she couldn't start a fight and make her escape."Why don't we do some happy things?" Chris asked."What happy things?" Kathryn looked at Chris dumbly, but his playful gaze immediately told her what he was talking about. This creep was trying to take advantage of her in broad daylight!Was his previous attitude just an act? It had to be. Kathryn glared at him. She was so angry that she could barely speak.Chris chuckled and nipped at her pink earlobe. "It's not even our first time anymore. Why are you still so shy?""Stop that!" Kathryn said. She really wanted to sew Chris' mouth shut right now. What was he even saying?Chris couldn't resist teasing her when she turned pink. "Who were you meeting up with?" he asked softly."Tally. We had some drinks together," Kathryn said in a low voice.Chris nodded. Kathryn must have spoken to her, then. From his perspective, Tally was no doubt a troublemaker. Every time Kathryn talked to he

Tally had the day off today. She'd just scored a huge contract yesterday, so she wanted to take today off like she used to do at Albert Group. After meeting Kathryn, she was shopping happily when she got a phone call from Markus. "Mr. Hunt?"She didn't know Markus was the CEO of Skyline Group until she started working there. She had no idea why he'd been working as Chris' assistant if he was so capable.Then again, the Hunt family was very messy. Who knew what Markus was planning?"Eccles Café. See you in one hour.""Huh?" Tally was annoyed. She was on her day off! She hadn't gone shopping in ages. Who the hell ordered people around like that?But then she remembered Markus had dirt on both her and Kathryn, so she didn't dare protest out loud. "I'll come over right now," she answered, then hung up.After shooting the mall a longing look, Tally sighed and turned around. Once she got to the parking lot, she took off her sunglasses, tossed everything she'd bought into the trunk,
Bright Future With Him Chapter 430
Before she could reply, Markus continued, "Did you talk about something I'm not supposed to know?""N-No." Tally shook her head. He had already found out about the last thing he was supposed to know. What else did they need to hide from him at this point?However, something as big as Kathryn's plans to leave … Tally still couldn't decide whether to tell Markus.Then again, Markus did help them hide the pregnancy, so he'd probably help them, right? She wanted to help Kathryn, but she couldn't. Markus was different, though.If he helped them, Kathryn would have no trouble leaving. So, she asked, "Um, Mr. Albert's trying to take Baydem Group back, right?"Markus nodded. "That's right. It's about time.""It won't be easy, will it?""Not at all." After all, Krista had developed that company for Phineas. Why would she hand it over so easily? In fact, the Albert family was probably in chaos right now for that exact reason.Tally grimaced. "You know Kathryn's pregnant. If Mr. Albert wo
Bright Future With Him Chapter 431
Now, the question was whether Markus could help them. When she remembered how Markus had helped them cover things up so far, Tally had hope.But then Markus said emotionlessly, "Their marriage certificate is the real deal. Even if she left Harborlean, it'd be easy for Chris to find her."Yes, that was what worried them the most. She wouldn't have suggested this if they were able to get a divorce, would she? "Can you help me convince him to divorce her, then?" she asked pitifully. She was really sticking her neck out for Kathryn here.She didn't know what she ever did to deserve this. Every new incident was more stressful than the last."I'm afraid that's not doable. This is the most important time for securing Baydem Group."Tally was speechless. Their hands were tied. Then what were they supposed to do? She thought starting a fight and running away was a good idea, but now that she was talking about it with Markus, she knew it was very sketchy. "So what do we do?" she asked.

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.
