Bright Future With Him Chapter 439
Phineas noticed that Chris was no longer the same as he used to be. He had always known that Chris harbored a deep-seated resentment toward his mother, a lingering animosity.In the past, no matter what happened, Phineas could usually resolve it by appealing to his brother's sensibilities. However, the same tactic seemed to have lost its effectiveness this time.Phineas looked at him, confused. He struggled to discern Chris' thoughts. Yet, the look in Chris's eyes was so well concealed that it was nearly impossible to decipher.Eventually, Phineas got up. "Reclaiming the Baydem Group would condemn her to a fate worse than death, Chris. I implore you to reconsider."Phineas also referred to Krista as "her." It seemed like Krista had made a bad name for herself in Harborlean over the years.Growing up, Krista must have left a psychological imprint on Phineas, one he wasn't willing to accept even now. Yet, beneath that reluctance lay a glaring truth—she was still his mother. Plus

Markus went to sort out the work. Chris went back to the lounge and found Kathryn knitting a scarf.She seemed to have gotten the hang of it and was knitting faster than before.When Kathryn noticed Chris entering the room, Kathryn quickly stopped what she was doing and got up. "I honestly don't know who he is!"Chris' expression froze at her words. He couldn't believe she was still preoccupied with this issue."I'll take your word for it. Why are you so nervous about it?""I was afraid you might get the wrong idea. So, of course, I'm nervous!" What scared her more was how fierce Chris was. The look he gave her downstairs was downright terrifying. It was as if he was ready to devour her whole. Chris chuckled at her comment.He enveloped her in an embrace. Her innocent, doe-like eyes gazed up at him. He couldn't resist and leaned in to kiss her. Her gentle and delicate demeanor beckoned him to consume her at that very moment.Kathryn whimpered in response, feeling her lips

Tara, holding a stack of documents, knocked on the office door several times. But there was no response, and she didn't dare to enter. Eventually, she walked away with the documents in hand.…Savanna sat in the café for quite some time after Kathryn's departure, lost in her thoughts. Eventually, she absentmindedly left the café.Her heart instantly dropped when she saw Phineas walking out from the Albert Group."Phineas!" she cried out. Then, she walked toward Phineas.Phineas heard his name and spotted Savanna. A warm and gentle smile instantly replaced the gloomy look on his face."Grandma," Phineas greeted her with tenderness. "Did you come to see Chris? Don't meet him on your own from now on," Savanna advised. Chris had been very stern recently. It was understandable since both parties were at odds recently. Plus, Krista was unwilling to back down for Phineas' sake.Chris never laid a finger on Phineas in the past. However, their current situation was causing alarm b

"I believe you've spoken to her countless times, no? She doesn't strike me as someone who can be easily paid off."Savanna was taken aback by Phineas' statement."How did you know I've contacted her so many times?"Being a perceptive person, she sensed something was amiss and decided to get straight to the point."What Chris used to pressure Dad must have left you and Mom anxious. Am I right?"Savanna felt her world closing in. Being anxious was an understatement. The situation had gotten out of hand.They needed to resolve the issue with Kathryn once and for all.…At the Albert Manor, Phineas and Savanna arrived at the entrance and heard Krista's wailing from inside.Both of them exchanged glances and quickly went in."Are you planning not to leave Phineas with anything?" Krista looked at Franco in agony.Franco's head was throbbing from the commotion she caused."I've told you, give Chris the Baydem Group first.""Then? What happens after? Do you think you can get it ba

Phineas and Savanna entered the house, their faces shrouded in gloom. Franco's expression soured further when he spotted Phineas. This was not the right time for Phineas to return and become entangled in their ongoing mess.Phineas took a seat on the sofa and asked Franco, "Do you not want me to come back, Dad?" Franco furrowed his brows. Savanna glanced at Franco, wanting to say something but refraining. All she said was, "I'll go check on Krista."She had long known that Franco didn't value her input as a mother-in-law. Hence, she never uttered a word whenever Franco and Krista fought over the years.Who was she to meddle in the business of someone in Franco's position?Her meddling would only make Krista's life miserable.…Krista had been smoking incessantly upstairs, a behavior that was unusual for her. Anyone could tell she was irritated.When Savanna entered, she nearly choked from the thick smoke in the house. Savanna frowned and demanded, "Put it out.""Why do yo
Bright Future With Him Chapter 444
Would Franco's heart soften when he saw Phineas?Forcing their way with Franco now wouldn't lead to anything positive.Krista had not seen Phineas in a long time. She had missed him deeply during his absence. But the tension in the house had barely settled. Eventually, she suppressed her heart's desire and sighed. "I hope Franco will act in Phineas' favor."Franco knew she was working hard to keep the Baydem Group for Phineas. She was hoping that she wouldn't need to surrender the Baydem Group to Chris for Phineas' sake. At the moment, Savanna and Krista were hoping for the same thing. Hopefully, Franco would change his mind after speaking to Phineas. …Meanwhile, at the Albert Group, it was nearing the end of the work day. As Chris waited for Kathryn to tidy up and leave, an unexpected guest arrived at his door. It was Amelia Miller. He hadn't seen her since he had dealt with the Miller family. Now, she barged into his quarters like a mad woman. "Kathryn, you bitch!
Bright Future With Him Chapter 445
Chris was already unhappy. His expression darkened further at Amelia's behavior.He looked at Amelia with an intense look, his gaze becoming more intimidating by the second. He said, "I think I've been too kind to the Miller family."The sentence hung in the air like an approaching violent storm. The smug look on Mia's face was instantly wiped out!She knew the consequences of angering Chris. Throwing her and Amelia out was letting them off easy.If that were to happen, Grace would likely shift all the blame onto Mia. "Amelia, stop with your nonsense. Apologize to Ms. Michaels, quick!" Mia meant it.She couldn't look for her mother, Meryl, either. Even if she couldn't stay at Vincent's place, she still needed Vincent to support her.Now was not the time to make Kathryn pay.But Amelia had already lost her mind. "Apologize? Why should I apologize?" she said fiercely."Amelia!""Escort them out!" Chris ordered the security officers as he looked at the commotion. He had lost
Bright Future With Him Chapter 446
Did Mia really return to the country earlier than expected? Amelia didn't think that it was possible. Before Mia's return, they had talked on video call every day. When Chris had his meeting in Northvale, she was still talking to Mia on a video call. Mia was in her room overseas.Amelia was surprised by Mia's comment.She could have said anything, but why would she lie to Chris? She was digging her own grave.Amelia finally regained some sense and recognized the severity of the situation. She looked at Mia in disbelief.The atmosphere was suffocating and stale.Mia didn't receive a response from Chris, only a stern and intense glare. She had no choice but to look at Kathryn. "Tell him, Ms. Michaels!" Once again, Mia was pointing the gun at her. Kathryn felt as if her head was about to explode.It was her that night in Northvale. However, she made a deal with Chris to tell everyone about it publicly.How could she deny it now?She looked at Chris hesitantly. Chris gave her a

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.
