Bright Future With Him Chapter 538
Tally felt like she was on the verge of suffocation throughout the journey to the hospital and back. The oppressive vibe emanating from Markus was nearly unbearable.As they arrived at the office, Tally couldn't shake the feeling that he was unwilling to let her escape. Internally, she was in turmoil, but she couldn't allow a trace of it to show on her face.Tally watched as Markus entered his office and sat in his executive chair. His demeanor was as cold as an iceberg. She stood rooted to the spot at the entrance, too afraid to move. Markus quirked his brow at her. "What's the matter? Do I need to personally invite you in?"The look on Tally's face froze as she frantically shook her head. "No, no, no. There's no need!"She knew that waiting for Markus to extend an invitation would be digging her own grave, so she quickly hurried into the office and closed the door behind her.She turned around and saw Markus lighting a cigarette. Tally couldn't deny the undeniable charm that M

Tally had been talking animatedly but suddenly fell silent. Markus' intimidating gaze had scared the living daylights out of her.Understanding Markus had become an intricate puzzle. What had she said that could turn his face as dark as coal? She was utterly bewildered. "Are you okay, Mr. Hunt?" Tally asked with caution.Markus tried his best to contain his anger as he looked at Tally. "You've been taking care of her, aye?""Of course! You have no idea what a witch Wendy is. She didn't even provide a single cent of allowance to Kathryn. If I hadn't taken care of her, that poor girl would have starved on the streets."Tally had exaggerated, but there was truth in what she said. Kathryn might not have reached her current height if it weren't for her.Growing up, Tally's maid would prepare nutrient-rich meals and lactoferrin-rich milk for her, which she would then give to Kathryn. Tally made sure Kathryn received everything packed with nutrition.And so, Kathryn had grown to be ta

Tally was well aware of the Glenn family's standing in Harborlean.It would be the end of her if she publicly called the engagement off now. The Glenn family might just end her life out of spite.Tally shuddered at the thought of how ruthless the Glenn family could be. Markus' expression remained as dark as ever. His gaze bore down on Tally with unwavering dominance, causing her to break into a cold sweat under his oppressive stare. "Why?"She didn't understand what Markus wanted with her and Victor.The Johnsons couldn't afford to offend them.Markus threatened, "The consequences will be much worse if you don't call the engagement off.""That's not reason enough for me to call the engagement off. Plus, it's just a contract marriage, and we plan to divorce in a year or two. This marriage will bring peace to everyone. I can't risk offending Victor either."Furthermore, she had been the one to reach out to Victor first. If she were to call off the engagement at this juncture,

Kathryn felt more at ease after receiving Tally's call. Yet, she was still worried.Chris had been tied up in meetings for the entire afternoon. He only came back to the office at 4:00 pm.Chris' lips curled into a smile when he saw the scarf in Kathryn's hand. He went to her and said, "It's looking great. You're making progress."Previously, her hands were clumsy with the knitting needle. Now, she was a whiz at it.Kathryn responded, "In the beginning, my fingertips used to get pricked, so I couldn't knit quickly enough.""What about now?""It's okay now."When she first started knitting, her hands had struggled with the pain, and even a gentle touch had hurt her fingertips. But that was no longer the case.Chris was all smiles as he scooped her into his lap in one swift move. Kathryn was so startled that she accidentally let go of the scarf in her hand.Chris didn't seem bothered about getting pricked.At this moment, Kathryn recalled her conversation with Tally over the p

Wendy, Maxwell, and Patrick were trudging along a long and muddy road away from that desolate place. The roads in this area were not paved with cement, indicating its rural and underdeveloped nature. Covered in wounds, they continued walking for a long time, with no sign of the main road in sight.Then, a vehicle from Centreville approached them. Patrick and Gavin instinctively tried to hide. Wendy was on high alert, too.The vehicle stopped in front of them before they could react. Several men emerged from the vehicle, and they did not appear to be a welcoming group."W-What are you trying to do?" Wendy staggered backward.All three of them had a sinking feeling about this encounter.The four men from the vehicle remained silent. They simply looked at Wendy, Maxwell, and the others before launching into a violent attack.…Chris went back to his office after his final afternoon meeting.Tara came in. "Mr. Albert.""Is it done?""Yes, also, someone else beat them up befor

Chris went to the lounge after instructing Tara. Kathryn was still sound asleep.Pregnancy had left her feeling lethargic, and her peaceful slumber was enviable to anyone who saw it.Noticing that Kathryn had kicked her blanket away, Chris went over and covered her back up.His actions stirred Kathryn awake, and she opened her eyes in a drowsy manner, murmuring, "Hmm, are you done with your meeting?"Her voice was sleepy and hoarse.Chris replied, "Yeah. Are you still tired?""Yeah, I'm tired from dreaming!" she replied, sounding uneasy. Kathryn had a fear of having dreams while asleep. It left her feeling even more exhausted afterward, making it more tiring than not sleeping at all.Seeing her discomfort, Chris couldn't help but smile. "Do you want to continue sleeping?""What time is it now?""It's after six now."Kathryn had slept for more than two hours and felt like she had been in a deep slumber. She struggled to get up from the bed. "Let's head back then.""Hold on.

"Did she get drunk and not remember anything?" Kathryn asked, looking at Chris in shock. Kathryn's heart tightened at that thought. There was no way something so insignificant could cause such a commotion!If what she suspected was true, the consequences would be unimaginable."She can't handle her liquor, can she?" Chris questioned."S-She was already sleeping when I left the room."She had intended to bring Jessica some tea to help with her hangover, but she didn't return when she heard that Matthew was coming.Kathryn's heart raced at the thought, and her face turned pale. Even though she wasn't known for her quick-wittedness, she understood what was looming ahead."How did things turn out this way? I even went to check on her!" Kathryn choked as she spoke.She was on the brink of losing her mind over this.Chris frowned. "I'm sure you couldn't have gone in even if you went to check on her."If the person had planned for it, there was no way he would have let Kathryn in.

Hesitant, Jessica glanced at the side of Byron's somber face. Summoning her courage, she asked, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?""It's about the trade department's Densel Level project. Get in the car."When Jessica realized that it was a work-related matter, her head throbbed. She couldn't possibly decline a work-related discussion.With anxiety, she got into Byron's car.As the car pressed on through the rain, Byron inquired about the Densel Level project. Jessica had also sensed that something was awry after the sales department had signed the contract.The sales department had made some adjustments to the numbers, and the manager had received a harsh reprimand for it. Now, it was too late to reverse this situation. They could only halt the Densel Level project once the first phase was complete.They could only make revisions to the contract during the second and third phases. It was the only way to mitigate losses.Jessica shared her thoughts. Byron nod

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.
