Bright Future With Him Chapter 690
Kathryn had never missed a day of drinking fruit juice since she was here.Lloyd had never dated a pregnant woman before, so he was clueless about pregnancy dietary restrictions. Yet, his intuition told him she shouldn't eat too much outside food. Kathryn pleaded, "I won't have any more chances to drink it anymore. I have more dietary restrictions after giving birth."So, she wanted to eat all she could when she still could. Lloyd was about to make an online payment, but Kathryn stopped him. "I will pay for this."Lloyd was rendered speechless. He couldn't help but wonder why she was hesitant to spend a man's money. What a peculiar decision.Kathryn bought a glass of orange juice for eight dollars. She had cheesy tater tots in one hand and her orange juice in the other. Lloyd took the juice from her. "Enjoy your food!""Thank you." Kathryn accepted his kindness. She prodded the cheesy tater tot with a toothpick and put it into her mouth. Lloyd noticed how she enjoyed her

Kathryn remained rooted to her spot, her eyes fixed on Lloyd as he answered the call. Her heart clenched as she gazed at his back, turned away from her.She had a great appetite earlier. Now, the food in her hands was tasteless. Lloyd answered the call. His voice was steady, void of any panic. "Mr. Albert, this is rare! What do I owe the pleasure?"Chris heard Lloyd's nonchalant voice from the other end of the line. His brows knitted tightly together. He went straight to the point. "Where are you, Mr. Robbins?""What do you want, Mr. Albert?""Where are you?"Chris' tone was heavier now. Lloyd frowned as he detected the threat in Chris' tone. "What is the meaning of this? Why does it sound like you're interrogating me now?""Lloyd, is Kathryn with you?" Chris instantly blew his fuse. He didn't bother to beat around the bush and went straight to the point. Lloyd's penchant for pettiness was common knowledge throughout Northvale.Most people wouldn't dwell on the end of
Bright Future With Him Chapter 692
Lloyd ended the call and swiftly turned around. His phone rang again as he took his first few steps. He thought Chris called again. However, with just one glance at the incoming call, he realized it was his secretary on the line. He picked it up. "Avery!""Mr. Robbins, Chris' secretary, Tara Hudson, called me. She asked about your whereabouts that night."Chris' call had been a preliminary test of the waters, and no matter how vehemently he denied it now, Chris would likely never believe him."What did you say?""Tara is not a gullible woman to fool. They must have honed in on you by now."Lloyd was at a loss for words. They knew he was at the airport that night. They also knew he had erased his travel route after. It would have looked less suspicious if he hadn't erased his travel route. But now, explaining it would prove a challenge. It was no surprise that Chris had called him. Their being together was practically confirmed now.Lloyd massaged his throbbing temple, r
Bright Future With Him Chapter 693
Why wasn't Chris willing to let her go?He had said so himself, never to see each other again. Why was he trying to take her baby from her?Or did he think bringing a baby into his new marriage was something to be proud of?Kathryn felt more unsettled the more she thought about it.She looked at Lloyd, eyes filled with tears. "What did you say?""I told him you are not with me, of course. But, you know how he is. He will eventually find this place."Lloyd didn't say that to scare Kathryn.Since Chris suspected Kathryn of being with Lloyd, finding out his whereabouts was a piece of cake.As soon as he learned that Lloyd was in Brookside Town, he would make his way there. The idea of losing her baby once Chris located her sent shivers down Kathryn's spine.In this world, she had no one else to rely on. Chris, on the other hand, had a large family. It puzzled her why he was still determined to take her child away.Her heart ached with torment as she contemplated the situation.

Kathryn, who had always been independent, undoubtedly held reservations and suspicions.Lloyd couldn't help but rub his temple in frustration at the thought of it. "Just consider it a small act of kindness, alright?""No."Her response was notably serious. She had witnessed how a man like him had previously resorted to questionable tactics in business, proving he wasn't exactly a virtuous person.The corner of Lloyd's mouth twitched at Kathryn's sternness. "Why not?""Because you are not a kind man," Kathryn snorted.At this point, the corner of Lloyd's mouth twitched even more noticeably.Unhappy, he argued, "How am I not a kind person?""You didn't employ ethical business practices when dealing with Chris in the past. A good and kind person wouldn't resort to such methods.""Hey, what do you know? You're way over your head."There was nothing proper about business.Women could solve what money couldn't. If women couldn't either, that could only mean that they weren't prett
Bright Future With Him Chapter 695
The efforts to locate Kathryn were intensifying, primarily due to Lloyd being considered the primary lead.Everyone assumed Kathryn and Lloyd were together. But no one knew their exact location.Consequently, those searching for Kathryn shifted their focus to investigating Lloyd's financial activities instead of monitoring Kathryn's bank card.Tally was on the phone with Victor as he made his way to the Albert Group. "Please don't tell Mr. Albert that I've been giving Kathryn money."Tally had a moment of realization that her impulsive decision might have serious consequences.Chris must have been monitoring Kathryn's bank card this whole time. Chris would skin her alive if he knew Kathryn had been using her money, deterring him from finding her.Victor snorted. "You're finally scared now, huh?""Of course! I'm terrified!"She finally knew her father's suffering after taking over the Johnson Group.Thankfully, she had found Victor in time. Otherwise, her father's years of hard

Chris was obviously referring to Lloyd.Chris ended his phone call and turned his attention to Victor. He wore a somber expression that he couldn't shake off, casting a shadow over his features."Why are you looking for Lloyd? What did he do?""He might have taken Kathryn!"Victor was flabbergasted.How could this be?Everyone in Harborlean knew Chris was not one to be trifled with. Did Lloyd need to act this way because of a failed business discussion?"How could this be? Lloyd is the CEO of the established Robbins Group. He doesn't have to stoop this low, does he?"Despite Lloyd's arrogance, he was rumored to be intelligent. He couldn't possibly be oblivious to the consequences of taking Kathryn.A gloomy glint filled Chris' eyes. He scoffed, "Who else could it be if not him? Kathryn hasn't used her bank card once this entire time. "She left so hastily, so there was no way she had so much cash! How was she supposed to survive with Lloyd?"Chris' assumption that Kathryn ha

The entire office fell into a heavy silence after that statement.The tension in the air was so thick that one could hear the sound of their own heartbeat. Even the faintest sound, like a falling pin, would have been audible.Victor was typically resilient in the face of such pressure, but the atmosphere created by Chris was suffocating.That might have been good news. Yet, Chris' face remained darker than charcoal.This silence stretched on for what felt like an eternity. Victor considered how to offer an explanation without dragging Tally into it when Chris struggled to utter, "Tally?"It was Tally again.Tally's help to Kathryn in Northvale was a huge obstruction to them. It caused layers of trouble.Now, Tally was helping Kathryn in her escape?At the moment, Chris had the urge to rip Tally into shreds with his bare hands.Victor noticed how he had gritted his teeth. Chris would probably not let go of the Johnson Group that easily.He quickly explained, "She didn't do i

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.
