Bright Future With Him Chapter 605
Jessica and Matthew's divorce back then had been acrimonious. Karen had also expressed her views openly in front of Kelly.Kelly obviously hadn't taken her words seriously. She believed that Karen had spoken out of anger. She thought it was still possible for Jessica and Matthew to get back together.Jessica grew even more distressed the more she dwelled upon it. As Jessica left the corridor where she had taken her phone calls, she was immediately spotted by Eleanor Harper from the secretarial department. "You're here? Mr. Byron is about to meet the CEO of Stellar Solutions. Hurry up and bring all the necessary documents.""Of course," Jessica replied, swiftly switching into work mode.She hurried back to the office. Some of the documents were in Byron's office. After preparing the necessary paperwork, she went to inform Byron.She pushed the door open and found Byron standing before the floor-to-ceiling window. He had his back facing the door. He was exuding an air of tension

Ethan teased Byron when he noticed the displeased look on his face.They moved aside to discuss their collaboration. Jessica didn't follow. Sophia Carter, Ethan's wife, approached Jessica in a friendly manner and said, "I think they'll be discussing for a while. Why don't you come with me and wait over there?""Thank you, Mrs. Martin."Sophia nodded. She led Jessica to a shaded area. A variety of food and drinks tailored to a child's preferences were available. It was evident that Ethan truly cared for his wife and daughter.Jessica had long harbored a fear of marriage, mainly due to her experience with Matthew. However, her perspective shifted when she observed the radiant happiness in Sophia's eyes. Despite her tumultuous marriage, it became clear that there were still couples leading content lives together....Byron and Ethan's discussion about their collaboration stretched on for quite a while. It was time to get off work when they returned to Skyline Group. It was also

Byron was Jessica's boss. She didn't think that it was appropriate to trouble him constantly. Yet, the rain didn't seem to be stopping. Jessica steeled herself and got in the car with Kelly. "Thank you, Mr. Hunt."Byron simply responded with a noncommittal hum, devoid of any visible emotion.Just like before, Kelly nestled into Jessica's embrace. She didn't dare to move—not even the slightest—under the weight of Byron's imposing presence. Jessica noticed how nervous Kelly was.Jessica and Kelly both felt a wave of relief wash over them as they reached Cloudshade."Mr. Hunt, thank you so much," Jessica thanked Byron genuinely.Despite Byron's stern and seemingly unapproachable demeanor, Jessica had to admit that she might not have been able to pick up Kelly on time if it weren't for him.Byron merely responded with a nod."Goodbye, then, Mr. Hunt."Jessica cradled Kelly in her arms and hastily ran off, almost as if she were escaping. She didn't dare to invite him for tea.

Jessica hadn't foreseen the news reaching Kelly's schoolmates so soon. While she believed they would learn about it eventually, their hurtful comments were nevertheless astonishing. Jessica put down her fork. She approached Kelly and embraced her in her arms. She wanted to explain. Yet, no words of explanation escaped her lips. She could only apologize. "I'm sorry."She knew she had disappointed Kelly. At this point, Kelly was still in the dark about the entire situation. "Mommy.""I'm sorry, Kelly. I'm so useless. It's all my fault."At that moment, Jessica contemplated suicide. She had always understood the destructive power of gossip. Experiencing it firsthand had made her truly grasp its impact.Ever since Matthew had presented her with the DNA test report, she felt like her life had descended into total darkness. It was Kelly who provided her with the strength to persevere during this period.Since Matthew wasn't Kelly's father, Jessica was the only family Kelly had.

However, Jessica had underestimated the power of ruthlessness.The Quintons now held her in absolute contempt. How could they even remember the love they once had for Kelly? "Oh, you realize now that most of Kelly's schoolmates live in our neighborhood? You're embarrassed about it now, then?"Jessica didn't know what to reply. She felt suffocated as she listened to him. Matthew continued before she could say anything. "I'll sue you, Jessica Michaels. Just wait for it."With that, he promptly hung up. Jessica was too stunned to speak. Her mind went blank. She couldn't believe that the Quintons were going to sue her.Her heart was in her throat. She hadn't anticipated that things would persist even after the divorce.…Kathryn had just finished her dinner. Chris had gone to the study to attend to some work. Upon reaching her room, Kathryn received a phone call from Jessica. Jessica was crying profusely. "Kathryn, I really don't know what to do anymore. I don't think Kelly c

"It's okay," Kathryn reassured, shaking her head.Jessica had always been someone who disliked burdening others. She wouldn't have called Kathryn if her emotions hadn't become overwhelming. Jessica lowered her head. Tears kept streaming down her cheeks."What happened to Kelly at school?" Kathryn inquired.She knew that Jessica's greatest distress was rooted in what had transpired with Kelly. After all, she was Kelly's mother. Kelly held a special and invaluable place in Jessica's heart."Ms. Bellum called me today …"Jessica recounted everything to Kathryn, including the phone call with Annie and what Kelly had told her after they came home from school.It was undeniable that a child's words could, in many cases, wield a more potent power to harm. Furthermore, a child's capacity to withstand such situations was somewhat limited. Kelly had signed up for the parent-child performance because she wanted to put a stop to the rumors under such circumstances. It was just that she

Chris didn't drive Kathryn straight home. Instead, he took her to a bustling main street. It was the hour when the street was teeming with the most activities.Kathryn could smell the aroma of various foods even before she arrived on the street. Her appetite was so stimulated that her mouth began to water.When Chris parked the car on the main street, Kathryn finally snapped out of her reverie. She looked at him and asked, "Why are we here?""To eat.""You're hungry?"Chris affectionately ruffled her hair. "Yeah."He had noticed that Kathryn hadn't eaten much that evening. She also hadn't had much of an appetite recently.He had read articles about pregnancy, which mentioned that pregnant women often experienced peculiar cravings. They would suddenly long for foods that were typically restricted during pregnancy. However, as they couldn't indulge in those cravings, they would frequently think about them, leading to a diminished appetite.Chris remembered that Kathryn used to

Henry continued speaking before Tally had a chance to vent her anger. "Don't worry. Mr. Hunt will take care of everything for you.""Huh?"Did Henry just say that Markus would handle everything, including her engagement with Victor, on her behalf? Tally was bewildered. Henry noticed how confused she looked. He didn't expect that Tally failed to grasp his meaning. Suddenly, it dawned on him why Markus was always so infuriated.It wasn't because Markus hadn't made things clear enough. It was because Tally was too slow on the uptake. Henry couldn't fathom how she had managed to be the top performer in the department.Henry facepalmed. "Why couldn't you have just asked for Mr. Hunt's help in the first place?""I did. This was his idea," Tally retorted resentfully.She had indeed sought Victor for help because of Markus' suggestion. He had told her everything would be resolved if she married someone powerful enough to speak to Chris. She had even spent the whole night considering

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.
