Bright Future With Him Chapter 496
Karen used to pity Jessica for having a mother like Wendy. All her pity had now turned into rage because she was convinced Jessica had cheated on Matthew. Not only that, she'd tricked them into raising her daughter for years."If you don't come get your bastard child in one hour, I'll kick her out myself!""No! Don't!" Jessica didn't know what to do. Kelly was still the girl she'd raised, so how could she bear to hear Karen talk about kicking her out?She really was going mad. She couldn't believe how things had gotten this bad."Hmph. Bitch!" Karen spat, then hung up right away.Jessica looked at Kathryn shakily. "Kathryn. Oh, Kathryn. How did my life get like this?""Let's not talk about it right now. We need to go pick her up," Kathryn said after some thought. In any case, they couldn't let anything happen to Kelly before they got to the bottom of this.The Quintons had gone through so much trouble because of Wendy, so it was actually possible for them to be cruel. Besides,
Bright Future With Him Chapter 497
Kathryn took Jessica and Kelly straight to her new home. She'd only been there once after she got the keys and heard that the house had been completed for six months before that. So, all she needed now was some beds.Jessica kept carrying Kelly in her arms, feeling her shake as she patted the girl's back to calm her down. The girl's fear was evident as she hugged only Jessica.Kathryn looked at Jessica, then said, "I hadn't planned to move in after getting the keys, so I didn't get furniture yet. I'll buy some beds and tables tomorrow."In any case, a house that was ready to move into was always better than Jessica's place. Apart from a single room, everything was outside in that apartment, including the kitchen.Jessica didn't know what to say to Kathryn. In this moment, she felt like she'd hit rock bottom. "Thank you, Kathryn."Kathryn shook her head. What was she talking about? Even though they knew they weren't related, Jessica had been her sister for so long and protected h

Kathryn didn't worry much anymore after the butler's phone call and immediately took Jessica inside. Jessica couldn't help her surprise when she saw the inside of the house. "Is this place really yours?""Yep!" Kathryn nodded. It was still empty when she got the keys, but she didn't expect it to look so different with complete furnishings. She'd never planned to renovate it so luxuriously."It's huge. How many square feet is this place?""It was 1200 square feet when I bought it." Kathryn started with no money, so she had to use up her savings to purchase such a large house.Jessica nodded in shock. She hadn't expected Kathryn to buy such a big house. "Don't let Wendy find out about this!"Jessica only remembered that they weren't her daughters after she mentioned Wendy, which meant that they never had to worry about her demanding things from them anymore.Still, they needed to stay alert. No one could be more shameless than Wendy.While Kelly was still nervous about being in

For a moment, even the room itself was eerily silent. Kathryn buried her face in Chris' chest, not daring to look at him.However, Chris pinched her chin and lifted her head. Kathryn squeezed her eyes shut, her face redder than ever."You have some nerve, teasing me like that," Chris said with a chuckle, but in a mysterious way that made Kathryn too scared to talk. "Open your eyes.""I'm tired, and I want to sleep.""Sleep? In what way?" Chris teased, clearly hinting at something."Um, right away?" "Right away? You're so bold," Chris's tone had unmistakably shifted to a more teasing manner as he kissed her and then got on top of her.Kathryn felt like she couldn't breathe in an instant, and she instinctively wanted to struggle. Instead, she fell even deeper into Chris' embrace. His body was so warm and so passionate.While Kathryn was under Chris' care at Sunshine Bay, Jessica's life was falling apart. Kelly must have had a huge scare today because she was now sleeping soundly

Jessica fell silent. She was already having trouble breathing, but the result made her choke up even more. Her daughter really was her daughter! Her tears started falling immediately.Kathryn hugged Jessica and tried to say something, but she didn't know what to say about the results. The kid was Jessica's, but she wasn't Matthew's.Judging by Jessica's reaction, she obviously didn't know what had happened either. Kathryn was not good at comforting people, so she had no idea what to do in a situation like this."How did this happen? How did things turn out like this? I'm a sinner!" Jessica said in agony. She had never thought that things would become like this.Back when she stayed with the Quintons, she'd always felt like she was under pressure, but that was only because of Wendy.At the same time, the Quintons had mistreated her because of Wendy, so she still resented them a little. And what did she do? In the end, she was the one who'd wronged them."Don't cry. Please stop cry
Bright Future With Him Chapter 501
Kathryn ordered takeout for Kelly on her phone while the little girl buried herself in Jessica's arms.In just a short period, she'd gone through her parents' divorce, and now, the fact that she wasn't her father's daughter. That kid's world must have fallen apart.After the takeout was delivered, Kelly gave Jessica a chicken drumstick. "Eat, Mommy," she said, in a cautious tone that made it clear she was scared Jessica would abandon her too.Jessica felt like a criminal when she saw how scared her daughter was. "You have some, my dear." Jessica shook her head.She and Matthew might have divorced, but Kelly could have had a stable life if she was Matthew's daughter. What was she supposed to call this?"Aunt Kathryn, have some of this." When Jessica refused her, Kelly handed the drumstick to Kathryn. Kathryn fondly ruffled her hair, then said, "I don't want that. You eat it, Kelly. Okay?"When neither of them took Kelly's food, fear flashed in her eyes. Jessica took her into her

Chris led Kathryn to the dining room as he asked the question. The servants respectfully handed them hot towels, so Chris wiped his hands with them before tossing them back onto the tray.Sorrow flashed in Kathryn's eyes when he mentioned Jessica. "Not good." She shook her head. After all, it wasn't exactly nice to get the results of two DNA tests in one day."Hmm?" Chris asked."We found out Kelly's not Matthew's daughter, and Jessica herself has no idea what happened. Would you mind helping her investigate what happened five years—no, six years ago?"Kelly was already five years old, so she must have been conceived six years ago. Chris frowned. "Even she doesn't know how it happened?""Yeah, that's why she's not doing well right now." Kathryn felt a little guilty when it came to how Jessica couldn't remember anything.Back when Chris had slept with her, he didn't remember what happened either. Sometimes, things just didn't go the way people wanted them to.Chris must have th
Bright Future With Him Chapter 503
Chris got four more calls, all from men who said Tally had asked to marry them after one blind date, on the condition that they get him to spare Johnson Group.Marry? Right away? She sure was decisive. It was obvious just how much she was risking for her family.Chris told Markus exactly what these men had said. Right now, Markus and Byron were in the middle of a meeting. When Markus hung up after Chris' call in the meeting room, his face was incredibly moody. The tension he gave off filled the room until the meeting ended.When everyone was gone, Byron picked up a glass of water and sipped from it before asking, "Why is Chris still calling you all the time even though you've already left Albert Group?""It's a different matter," Markus answered. "You've helped him plenty over the years," Byron said. Sometimes, he didn't know what to say to his little brother. Besides, they'd always been cold to each other ever since that day.Markus ignored him and grabbed his phone before

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.
