Bright Future With Him Chapter 483
After hanging up, Markus called Tally right away. She must have been on another blind date because it took her a while to pick up. "Mr. Hunt?""Where are you?""I took the day off," Tally answered weakly. Markus was already in a bad mood, but he scoffed in response. "To go on blind dates?""Yep."Markus was speechless. Was this girl seriously admitting to it? Did she think this was a good thing to brag about? "You've never even dated a man, and now you're trying to marry yourself off?" he asked."Isn't that what you asked me to do? I'm trying to think of something, aren't I?" Tally said pitifully. Wasn't she trying to find someone who could talk to Chris, like he asked?She hadn't wanted to do it, but it hurt her to watch her dad be unable to sleep the whole night. Since she was staying, she was going to save Johnson Group no matter what."Have you thought of something, then? Do they want to marry you?""No!" Tally almost lost her mind just talking about it. She thought she

Wendy had owed the hospital so much money that Patrick was forced to work here too until they paid off their debt.For the past few days, Wendy had been complaining the whole time while she worked. They were supposed to pay the bills, yet her pay kept getting docked.How were they supposed to repay the hospital like this? Wendy's mouth was a loose cannon, and Patrick didn't want to suffer with her."Docking, docking. What else do they do? Crush people's bones and suck their blood dry?" Wendy said hatefully, getting angrier and angrier as she thought about her situation."Get to work, and stop complaining!""Complaining? Whose fault is it that I'm like this?" Wendy was enraged now. She remembered some guy in the village she'd looked down on moving to the big city.And her? She had to sell the Everburns Highland house and move back to the village. Everyone else's lives were getting better, but hers was only getting worse!"Call Jessica again," Wendy told Patrick. He might have bee

What Kathryn had learned the most from Maxwell and Wendy was coldness. It was the only thing that kept them away.Over at the hospital, Wendy was so tired of working there that she had almost despaired. She didn't expect Kathryn to keep being stubborn after so long.Even though she was about to blow up with rage, she suppressed her anger and asked, "Do you hate me that much?""I almost died because you tossed me!" Compared to Wendy's suppressed anger, Kathryn's tone was much calmer, but that calm spoke volumes about what Wendy had done."I was too angry at the time! Why do you still remember something like that? Everyone treated our kids like that back then! Look at our neighbor, Mrs. Manson. She knocked out her kid's teeth!""But then Mrs. Manson took her kid to the hospital because she was scared her kid would die. You didn't!""I didn't know you were hurt that badly.""Why are you still talking about that? That wasn't the last time you tossed me!"Yes, that was only the firs

The nursing supervisor glared at her sharply. "Quit it, you. And get back to work.""But—""Keep talking, and I'll dock a week's worth!"Wendy fell silent. She hadn't even worked for a full week yet, and the supervisor was already threatening to dock that much. When would she ever collect enough money for the medical bills?Wendy's hatred for Kathryn deepened a little. Why was she refusing to lend even a few hundred dollars? She was Mrs. Albert now, after all.Would she have been able to enjoy her riches if Wendy hadn't saved her life?When Patrick saw that her pay got docked, he looked at her with frustration. "Do you think this is Everburns Highlands, where you get to do whatever you want?""You're one to talk! Isn't your uselessness the only reason I came to Harborlean?" Before she arrived, Wendy had planned to worm her way into Jessica's home.When she found out Kathryn had a house, she was convinced she could settle down in Harborlean, too. It was a big city with a lot of

After hanging up on Tally, Kathryn didn't recover for a long time. She'd already suspected it before, but seeing the results right in front of her still surprised her.Neither her nor Jessica? She called Jessica at once.Right now, Jessica was with Matthew, but he seemed different today. He was still wearing a cold expression, but the coldness was clearly not the same as it used to be.When Matthew slid her a document folder, Jessica frowned in confusion. "What is this?""Take a look." Matthew crossed his arms, his tone both cold and restrained.When Jessica looked up from the folder and into Matthew's eyes, she was surprised to see the hatred in his gaze.Her gut told her whatever was inside that folder was bad, and she was a little nervous. But before she could reach for it, her phone buzzed. She took it out, then realized Kathryn was calling her. "Can I take this?" Jessica said softly.Her gentleness had changed after the divorce. In the past, she was only frail and gentl
Bright Future With Him Chapter 488
But then Kathryn would remember that she wasn't related to Wendy and feel relieved. Jessica felt the same too, so she said calmly, "It's good that we're not related. That way, we don't have to care about her anymore.""Where are you?""I'm outside," Jessica replied. It was already dark out there, and she was tired after a long day's work, but Kathryn's news had rejuvenated her. "Then I'll leave you to it. Let's meet up this weekend.""Okay." Although neither of them were Wendy's daughters, the bond between them seemed a little stronger now.Maybe it was because they'd looked out for each other since they were kids. Back then, Wendy didn't want to keep Kathryn with her, but Jessica pitied her. Nonetheless, Jessica's life with Wendy wasn't so good either.After she hung up, Jessica returned to sit in front of Matthew without any of the stress she'd previously shown. However, Matthew was still as cold as ever. "Was that Kathryn?" he asked icily.Jessica nodded. "Mm-hmm. That w

If Kelly wasn't Matthew's daughter, then whose daughter was she? Was she switched at birth by the hospital? Thoughts began forming quickly in her mind, but the more she thought, the more terrified she became. She stood up shakily, and that was when Matthew called her. "Hello?" she asked when she picked up."Take her away tomorrow," Matthew said coldly.Jessica's grip on her phone tightened. She didn't know what to say now. She didn't even know how things got to this point.But in the face of Matthew's coldness, she couldn't say a single word to explain herself. How could she when she didn't even know what was going on?Her life was already a mess, and she couldn't make any sense of it.With a loud boom, lightning flashed across the sky. Matthew had already hung up, and cold rain poured on Jessica as she walked.Once again, her life had been thrown into chaos.At night, Franco called Chris back to Albert Manor and specifically asked him not to bring Kathryn. However, Chris br

Krista was shocked. She couldn't argue with what Chris said at all. "I-I'm sorry. Can I pay back the money I'd used back then?"Pay back? The money she'd used to found Baydem Group? How much was she going to give him now, then? Baydem should have earned at least twenty times that amount by now."You're still so calculative, even after all these years," Chris said."I'll give you 20% of its assets! That's a lot." Krista wasn't budging when it came to the company or its stocks, no matter what. Besides, 20% of its profits over the years was indeed a lot.If Krista gave them to Chris, Baydem would take a huge financial hit, but she was really desperate. She had no other option but to deal with Chris' demands.That was why she couldn't let Chris take Baydem Group away. That was her top priority.Chris shot Krista a cold look, mockery in his eyes. "20 percent?""Yes." Krista nodded in fear and looked back at him nervously, worried that he wouldn't accept these terms.Beside her, Fran

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.
