Bright Future With Him Chapter 558
"If you don't want to be in a bind, there is another way," said MarkusTally was left speechless. Was there a way to compromise? The notion Markus raised had an immediate invigorating effect on her. "Tell me more.""Completely sever ties with Victor."Tally was taken aback. How was this a compromise? Any glimmer of hope in her eyes was immediately extinguished.She grabbed her file. "I'll get started on working overtime."What kind of choice was that? Markus was essentially asking her to throw herself into the lion's den.Markus' expression darkened as he cursed Tally under his breath.As she walked toward the door, Markus spoke softly, "I'm doing this for your good.""Thanks, but no thanks!"For her own good? It felt more like he was throwing her to the wolves.She had been the one to initiate things with Victor, and now that the crisis at Albert Group had been resolved, was she expected to cancel her agreement and end the engagement?Everyone in Harborlean knew the Gle

Victor was surprised when he received a call from Henry, Markus' assistant. His brows furrowed as he listened to the reason for Henry's call."Now?" exclaimed Victor. "Yes, Mr. Hunt wants to see you now," said Markus. Victor checked his wristwatch. It was almost midnight, and Markus wanted to meet him right away. He turned and spotted Ultrasounds Club. "Let's meet at the café right across from Ultrasounds Club."Ultrasounds Club stood as one of the flagship assets of the Glenn family. This was where Victor held sway. Although the Glenn family appeared to run legitimate businesses, Victor was anything but conventional.He steered clear of Walter and his second brother, Edward's real estate and energy dealings. His primary operations revolved around nightclubs.He owned close to a thousand similar businesses across the country.While it might seem like these nightclubs were just for entertainment, only Victor was privy to the hidden activities that occurred behind the scenes.

"Is this enough?" Markus inquired. "I can reclaim it myself," Victor replied, placing his coffee cup down and regarding Markus with nonchalance. He acted as if the offer didn't concern him."Oh, can you? It's been six months. If you could have reclaimed it …" Markus taunted. He didn't finish his sentence, but the implication was clear enough.It had been six months since Victor lost Flourean. He had been carrying the weight of embarrassment throughout this period. Victor had made numerous attempts to regain it, but all had been in vain. Even now, he had yet to identify the person who had cost him Flourean. Flourean remained a persistent thorn in his side.Markus continued speaking without waiting for Victor's reply. "If you agree, Flourean will be in your possession by tomorrow.""Tomorrow? You're quite confident, aren't you?"He had struggled to resolve this matter over the past six months, and now Markus claimed he could resolve it overnight.Victor instinctively clenched

In the car, Victor observed how meticulously Tally had dolled herself up. He smiled and began, "Markus and I met up yesterday.""Huh? Why?" Tally was shocked.She recalled her encounter with Markus the previous night. His inhumane behavior had left her feeling more appalled than if he had been skinning someone alive.Did he really need to push someone to the brink like that? She thought she might have a heart attack just thinking about it."He wanted me to call off our engagement," Victor said."You've got to be kidding me."Why was Markus meddling in her affairs?Tally's perception of Markus had changed entirely. She hadn't yet grasped or understood why Markus acted that way. At this point, she simply felt that Markus was making a fuss over nothing.Victor let out a sigh of relief when he noticed Tally's stunned expression. He could sense what Tally was thinking. He followed her thought process and began, "He was worried you wouldn't meet your 100-million-dollar target. He w

"Mr. Glenn Senior is in his room," the butler informed Victor with a smile.Hearing this, Tally suddenly realized it was her first time visiting the elderly man, and she hadn't brought a gift.As Victor led her down the hallway toward his grandfather's room, Tally was oblivious to the butler following them. She abruptly grabbed Victor's arm. "Wait!""What's the matter?" Victor turned to her, confused."I-I forgot to bring a gift. What should I do?" Tally asked, clearly concerned.Victor frowned. "Do you really need to bring a gift?"Both of them were novices in this regard and lacked experience.Tally reminisced about how Kathryn would visit her sister's house, always bearing gifts.This marked her first visit to the Glenn family, necessitating a thoughtful gift for the elder.Her mind was exhausted from overwork, and it had slipped her mind. Victor, on the other hand, wasn't aware of such etiquette.Tally rubbed her forehead and quickly turned around.Victor grabbed her.

Now that Victor thought of it, the scarf had originally been a gift to his grandfather from a friend overseas. He had considered the design too youthful and given it to Victor. Tally had never felt this embarrassed in her life.She chuckled dryly. "Oh, is that so? I thought it would suit you when I saw it for the first time."Tally finally understood what it felt like to hang by a thread. Fortunately, the topic didn't linger for too long. Mr. Glenn Senior pulled her aside and engaged in a lengthy conversation. He praised her keen eye and encouraged Victor to appreciate her well. He was cautious with his words. Anyone could tell how anxious the Glenn family was about Victor's marriage.Victor's brothers, Walter and Edward, came back at noon. Tally felt like she was on display upon their return. However, she wondered why Victor's parents weren't present. Then, it dawned on her that Victor's parents were overseas, so they weren't able to attend.Giselle sat on Tally's right and

"He's great! Of course he is!" exclaimed Giselle. No matter how Tally interpreted it, something about how Giselle said it felt off. After conversing with his brothers, Victor emerged from the room only to overhear Giselle complaining about how he used to bully her when they were children.The other brothers had always protected her. Only Victor had bullied her. She even cried a few times because he had hit her.Tally listened intently to her rant. "Was he that mischievous as a kid?""Yeah, you have no idea! We thought he didn't know how to care for girls. Tally, you can't let him do whatever he wants. "If he ever dares to lay a finger on you, make sure you stand up to him and show him who's boss. Otherwise, he'll bully you for the rest of your life," Giselle sneered.Victor must have subjected her to significant bullying to have left such a lasting trauma in her heart.Victor's expression darkened. "Little brat, I see you've grown up. You're teaching Tally how to go against

However, Tally quickly regained her composure. She couldn't help but wonder if Markus actually thought that she had sold herself to him. However, she wasn't willing to submit to his demands at this moment. "It's outside of work hours, Mr. Hunt. I believe you don't have control over that," Tally asserted. "Tally!" Markus seethed through clenched teeth over the phone.Tally continued, "Mr. Hunt, you need to allow your employees to enjoy their weekends, even if you don't. This kind of behavior won't be sustainable in the long term. No one can endure this treatment indefinitely."It was fine for a day or two during the workweek. However, enduring this treatment in the long run was beyond anyone's physical capabilities. When employees confronted tough circumstances that offered little leeway, they tended to tap into their inner resolve and determination.Markus' voice grew more dangerous as he replied, "You better tell me where you are right now.""It's Sunday. I am where I want

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.
