Bright Future With Him Chapter 61
Kathryn felt proud when her place was mentioned. She felt like she didn't waste all that time she spent being thrifty. She nodded. "Yes, I bought it last year. I just got the keys last month."Now, she had to make the money to renovate it!Chris looked at her childish face. He saw how she lit up when talking about her place. He could tell how much she loved it. No wonder she could fight back against Krista despite being so timid. Chris drummed his fingers on the dining table. At the same time, Kathryn's heart started beating faster. His tone was so hard to decipher. Kathryn couldn't figure out what he wanted at all, especially with the footage still worrying her.Was Chris going to ask or not? Shouldn't he do it fast and get it over with?Kathryn felt immensely pained!Chris laughed when he saw how nervous she was. "What are you so worried about?""Me? Nothing!" Kathryn looked up. But when she met his sharp gaze, she ducked her head again. She didn't dare to look at him.Chr
Bright Future With Him Chapter 62
But when she faced Chris' questioning, Kathryn found she didn't feel calm. She felt even worse, especially when she looked at his sharp gaze. "I-I …" What could she say?Right then, Kathryn forgot everything Tally had told her in her nervousness. She couldn't remember what Tally said about denying everything.She couldn't even talk with the way Chris stared at her.Chris asked, "What? Speak!" His words were even colder now. The danger in them made Kathryn realize she would be doomed if she admitted to it.It was just too scary! Kathryn was so scared that she trembled all over. "I-I went out.""When?""After two and a half hours!" "What time!"Kathryn was speechless. What time? What time had it been? She was done for!All this time, she and Tally had been thinking about how she could deny it. They never imagined that Chris would question her in such detail. He was even asking the exact time now!How was she going to answer now?Kathryn was overcome with nerves. She l
Bright Future With Him Chapter 63
Right then, Kathryn felt completely helpless. All she could think was that she shouldn't just tell lies as she wanted. Her memories got muddled when she thought of what had really happened versus her lies. When she looked into Chris' eyes and saw how insistent he was on getting an answer, she wanted to cry. She took a deep breath and answered, "Three times!"Markus was a smart person as well. If he was suspicious, he would definitely ask such detailed questions. Three times in two hours … That was about right, right? At least, that was what Kathryn thought. After she said that, Chris' gaze became more dangerous. To herself, Kathryn said, "Shit!" Could she have answered wrongly? Had he really compared answers with Markus before coming home today? Kathryn felt her scalp tingling. Now, she really didn't know what to do anymore. She could have admitted to it from the beginning. She couldn't handle Chris at all.Just as she gritted her teeth and prepared to come clean, Chris l

Didn't Chris say that the marriage was supposed to be a secret? What was going on now?But now the company was openly announcing their wedding. And the whole of Harborlean knew about it.Kathryn was nervous beyond description. It felt like her soul had been scraped out, and she couldn't even think about the problem properly. Tally was still unsure of the current condition but had seen the underlying issue. She couldn't help but feel pained as she pointed out, "Let me remind you that the Albert family is a snake's den. And also, your …"When she said this, Tally was so worried for Kathryn that even her tone became higher.The Albert family was truly scary!As for Kathryn's family, it shouldn't be complicated since they were from the countryside. However, her family was full of complex relations. Her stepfather liked to gamble. Her mother often pressured Jessica, who had moved to Harborlean after marriage, for money. This was because she favored her son over them. If Kathryn's f
Bright Future With Him Chapter 65
In Jessica's world, marriage had to go through one's parents. This was true even though she now regretted listening to her mother. She believed this fact in her very bones. Kathryn's sudden marriage turned her understanding of the world upside down. And it was a fake marriage too!When Kathryn heard Jessica ask if she'd been scammed, she felt a headache coming. "No. Don't jump to conclusions.""Where are you now? I'm going to see you!"Jessica seemed not to have heard what Kathryn said. Now, she was absolutely worried.Kathryn said, "I'm really fine. You don't need to worry, Jessica.""How can I not worry? When Grandma died, she told me to take good care of you …" Jessica choked up.At the mention of their grandmother, Kathryn felt a pang in her heart. Waves of pain radiated from her chest. Before Kathryn could answer, Jessica started crying. "How could you not tell me that you got married? It's such a big deal! How am I supposed to keep my promise to Grandma now?"Kathryn w

"It isn't what you think!" Kathryn couldn't tell Lewis about the fake marriage. She was reminded of Jessica's concern. So, she knew she wouldn't escape being told off if Lewis found out about it.But she couldn't not tell him either, since Lewis was making her take Chris to see him. When she thought of all the troubles lying had brought her, Kathryn didn't dare to lie again. "We're in a fake marriage." She told him everything she'd told Jessica.After she finished, Lewis was quiet. But it only lasted a moment. After that, Lewis was immediately enraged. "Divorce. Divorce now! What mess are you two in?""Mr. Huber, I …""How dare you get involved in the Albert family's matters? Don't you know what kind of trouble that is?" Knowing that it was the Albert family, Lewis was even more upset.Sensing Lewis' agitation, Kathryn was worried that he might get a heart attack.Now that Lewis wanted her to divorce, Kathryn was in an even more difficult position. "It's not as simple as you th
Bright Future With Him Chapter 67
Cara got even more concerned when Kathryn refused to call Chris and still wanted to go out.After some thought, she said, "Why don't I go with you then?"Even if Kathryn weren't Chris' wife, Cara would still insist on going with her. She was just so worried about Kathryn considering her injury. Since Cara was so determined, Kathryn could only nod. "Okay then. We'll go together." As for Lewis, Kathryn didn't see any reason to hide anything about him. Chris was only her superior. It was only because the news of the marriage got out that things were so complicated now.If Chris found out about Lewis through Cara, she didn't have to explain anything to him.In this way, Kathryn came to leave with Cara. However, when she changed, she used the opportunity to call Markus. At that moment, Chris was having a meeting. When Markus received the call, he knocked and went into the room. Elise Schiffer was also attending the meeting, but Markus didn't get her to talk to Chris. Instead, he
Bright Future With Him Chapter 68
Even though both Chris and Lewis had a significant role in Harborlean, they had never interacted before. That phone call was the first time they got in touch with each other.Chris took out his cigarettes and lit one up. He then said to Markus, "Come with me."Markus nodded. "Okay."...Meanwhile, Kathryn had arrived at Arctic Splendor. Jean Fleming, the butler, had asked Cara to leave the room.It was a sunny day, and the glorious sunshine shone on the chessboard. The room was warm.Kathryn was polishing a peacock relief sculpture with sandpaper, but she was so anxious that she could hardly breathe. The old man, who was playing chess with himself in front of her was too silent. From what Kathryn knew about him, she might have gotten into trouble if he behaved like that. Whenever her relief sculpture was out of shape, Lewis would always remain calm at first. Lewis suddenly threw a chess piece heavily onto the chessboard.Kathryn became tense out of fright. Her hands couldn'

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
Bright Future With Him Chapter 1337
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.
