Bright Future With Him Chapter 45
Just as the two wanted to continue talking, Kathryn's phone rang. When she took it out, she noticed it was Chris calling.Her breathing sped up, and she looked at Tally nervously before picking up. "Mr. Albert!" In the blink of an eye, her tone turned respectful. Tally silently prayed that Kathryn's acting skills were good enough. Otherwise, both of them would lose their jobs.On the other end, Chris asked solemnly, "Where are you?""The company.""Wait there!" He didn't even ask what she was doing at the company. After those two simple words, he hung up right away.Tally walked behind Kathryn. "Was that Mr. Albert?""Mmhmm." Kathryn nodded. After what just happened, she didn't know how to face Chris. Should she come clean? Or should she keep lying?The more she thought about it, the more troubled Kathryn's mind got!But Tally was calmer, so she advised Kathryn, "No matter what Markus said to Mr. Albert, you need to hang in there!""What do you think he told him?""Didn't y

Tally didn't expect Chris to personally pick Kathryn up. She couldn't tell if that was a good thing or a bad thing for Kathryn…When Kathryn saw Chris walking toward her, she was still quite nervous! So she lowered her head and said respectfully, "Mr. Albert.""What are you doing here?" Chris said.The moment she got close, Kathryn could smell the strong scent of alcohol. What was she doing? She came to see if Markus had restored the footage.But before she could speak, Markus came out of the company. When he saw Chris, he walked up and asked, "Did you see Mr. Cardy tonight?" Chris nodded. "Mmhmm."Markus looked at Kathryn knowingly. Then, he told Chris, "Brian and Black Dickens just left. Would you like to head up there and look at the footage?" Kathryn gasped when she heard him inviting Chris to see the footage. Her face paled a little! What did she say to Markus again? That Chris threw up several times during the two hours? That was her excuse. But if Chris looked at

Back at Rexton Manor, the driver immediately drove off after Chris and Kathryn got out of the car. Kathryn wanted the driver to drive her back to the company apartment. However, when she saw Chris's cold figure, she didn't dare say anything. The only thing she could do was follow him.When they got home, Chris looked at Kathryn and asked, "When are you moving your things here?"Kathryn's heart almost stopped. "Am I really staying here?" She felt a bit conflicted.She really didn't want to. She always got so nervous when she was with Chris.She'd probably crack under pressure if they spent too much time together. It would make her tell him everything about that night. A hint of coldness flashed in Chris's eyes, so Kathryn hastily nodded and said, "Tomorrow. I'll do it tomorrow."Chris didn't say anything else. Instead, he took off his coat and dumped it on the couch with his phone. Then, he walked into the master bedroom.Kathryn stood at the entrance and patted her chest. She

The loud noise made Chris frown. He looked in the bathroom's direction!In the bathroom, Kathryn's heart was beating nonstop when Chris asked, "What's going on?" She froze when she heard that! She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said, "Mr. Albert, I don't have a towel!"There was silence. Kathryn wished she could bite her tongue off right then. If Chris didn't know she was this careless, he'd probably think she was trying to seduce him again. But right now, he was mostly bothered by her carelessness. He got up and got new towels from the closet. He walked to the bathroom before saying, "Open the door."Kathryn opened the door slightly. When she didn't see anyone, she stuck out a fair, slender hand. "Thank you."Chris knew Kathryn was tall and slender, but he didn't expect her arm to look muscled. Besides that, despite coming from the countryside, her skin was still very fair…Kathryn was freezing. She quickly wiped herself dry and got dressed. But Chris only gave her

Kathryn's heart almost stopped! She could feel Chris's breathing get erratic, which scared her even more. "Mr. Albert, no!With a burst of energy, she broke free of Chris's powerful hold and backed away.Chris was still drunk, but the action sobered him up completely. There was no more warmth in his eyes, only coldness!When Kathryn saw his cold look, her chest tightened. "Mr. Albert," she called out timidly.That sobered him up a little more, and he said, "Go to bed."Go to bed? Kathryn panicked even more when she heard the word "bed." So, she asked shakily, "Which bed?"She was clearly spooked, and that made Chris smile mysteriously. "Where do you want to sleep?""Nowhere. I want to go back to the company apartment," Kathryn said hastily.Chris's smile froze. Kathryn's worked with him for a long time, but she'd always been scared of him since she messed up her work a lot. Still, he didn't realize she was this scared of him. So, he said, "Sleep in the room you went to last

"You can still find one even if it's hard!" Kathryn's tone got even colder. The way she saw it, jobs weren't that hard to find. It's just that Maxwell was being too picky, like Tally said.He was still an intern but already desired a salary of two thousand dollars. What company would pay an intern that much? Aren't interns supposed to work their way up?Maxwell got a little annoyed when he heard Kathryn's reply. "I'm looking, aren't I? Why do you all keep nagging me?""Who's nagging you? You're the one asking for money!" Kathryn hated it when he said she was nagging him! Why was he still asking his family for money if he was so capable? Everyone needed to work hard once they were an adult. They didn't come from a rich family, but getting an education was already half the battle done.The fact that Maxwell didn't understand this meant his education was for nothing!When Maxwell realized Kathryn was standing her ground, he became timid again. "Kathryn, I really am looking for a jo

He was exhausted when he woke up. Damn it, why did he have that kind of dream? Was it because of that girl from the hotel? Some things just felt different after you experienced them!When he thought of that night in Northvale, he wished to find that girl and tear her to bits.Meanwhile, Kathryn was making breakfast in the kitchen when she felt a chill. She sneezed. Then, her phone started buzzing. When she saw that it was Jessica, she picked up. "Jessica?""Did you give Maxwell 50 dollars?""It's enough for one meal!" Kathryn huffed. It served him right for trying to act rich! That'd show him!That fixed his emergency situation, but that close call would probably haunt him for life. She thought Jessica would nag her again about Wendy causing trouble. But Jessica snorted and said, "Yeah, that's enough. It's time we taught him a lesson." After all, he knew he was broke, yet he took a bunch of friends out for dinner. And then, he called them both in the middle of the night, askin
Bright Future With Him Chapter 52
When she took a closer look, she noticed she got blisters on her foot. When Chris saw it, he said coldly, "So stupid!"Kathryn bit her lip, making her seem even more pitiful. It was his fault for standing silently at the kitchen entrance and scaring her like that. And now he was calling her stupid. In Chris's mind, Kathryn had always been a little dumb. No matter what she did, something was bound to go wrong. So, a lot of the time, Markus needed to check her work! "You have blisters," Chris said after taking a look. The boiling hot pasta had scalded her foot really badly! Seeing the blisters on her foot, Kathryn fell silent and pouted pitifully. Chris brought over the emergency kit, but he couldn't find any ointments for burns. So, he called his personal doctor.The doctor asked him to put ice on the foot. Once he hung up, Chris carried Kathryn onto the sofa. Seeing her teary look, he asked, "Do you want to cry?"Kathryn sniffled, looking even more miserable than before."Do

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.
