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

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

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'

Kathryn didn't look like someone well-connected with powerful backgrounds. Chris and Markus couldn't figure out how she knew Lewis, someone renowned in Harborlean.While they were still thinking about that, Jean walked towards them and said respectfully, "Mr. Albert, Mr. Huber said you could go inside now."Chris nodded coldly.Kathryn was suffering from a brain freeze. She hoped to black out right away. She didn't expect Lewis to order her to be at Arctic Splendor and invite Chris over.Kathryn wasn't sure what to do at the moment. Lewis looked towards her and said, "Go and cook the beef stew. I want the meat tender.""Okay." Kathryn stood up hastily and tossed the sandpaper she was holding aside. She didn't dare to look at Chris' long face and bolted as if escaping. She didn't get far before she felt the pain on the top of her foot and winced. In a stern voice, Lewis said, "Restless girl! Why can't you do anything well? Walk slower if you're injured!""Okay, I know," Kathryn
Bright Future With Him Chapter 70
Kathryn's body tensed up as she sat beside Chris. Inside, she was praying for Lewis to have mercy on her. She wasn't sure if there was a problem with the kitchen lighting. But she had just noticed that much of the beef in the stew still looked quite raw.Chris stared at the stew before him. Without the vegetables, it seemed like a bowl of clear water. The undercooked beef took him aback. He didn't know what to say. Despite his reservations, Chris nodded in response to Lewis' question and took a bite. "How is it?" Lewis asked seriously.Chris frowned and glanced at his wife, who sat beside him, looking upset. Her head was hung so low that it almost reached her chest. She was aware of her cooking skills.Lewis said, "It's awful, isn't it? Seems like you didn't know her enough before getting married. She's not a good match for you."It was then that Kathryn finally realized where Lewis' intentions lay. She sensed the coldness next to her and instinctively looked toward Lewis.T
Bright Future With Him Chapter 71
Lewis leaned back in his seat. He no longer appeared serious and strict anymore. He served himself a bit of the beef stew and turned to Chris, asking, "Have you tried her cooking before?"Chris didn't speak a word.Lewis continued, "She's so careless and always fails at everything. I thought you didn't understand her well enough.""Mr. Huber!" Kathryn's voice choked up. She suddenly felt like a burden. Lewis had labeled her careless, making her believe she was a constant worry to others. Lewis asked Chris to take a seat. Since whatever Kathryn cooked was inedible, he requested that dinner be prepared again. As Lewis was no longer serious, he asked Chris, "Franco disagrees with your marriage, doesn't he?"Lewis might be the only person in Harborlean brave enough to refer Franco in such a manner. Franco was no ordinary person. He was the head of the most elite family in Harborlean.At the mention of his father, Chris' face darkened slightly. Lewis sensed the tangled dynamics wit

Kathryn felt her breath catch as she was pulled to sit on Chris' lap."Mr. Albert.""Have you always been such an honest person?" Chris asked coldly. He thought she had confessed too quickly.Kathryn nodded vigorously. "Yes, I've always been this honest."Chris chuckled as he stroked Kathryn's jaw. "I believe you've heard what Mr. Huber said just now?""What?" blurted Kathryn. Lewis had said so many things just now that she wasn't sure what Chris was referring to. The next moment, Chris responded, "He said he's leaving you in my care. I'll be your guardian from now on. Clear?""I don't need a guardian anymore!" Kathryn didn't understand why Chris said that and stuttered."Of course, you need one with that brain of yours."Kathryn was too shocked to speak and found herself almost breathless. She wondered what he meant when he made that comment about her brain, and it made her question herself. Yet, she didn't dare to argue. Although Chris appeared to be smiling, he also se

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.
