Bright Future With Him Chapter 7
Kathryn and Tally had originally planned to go on a shopping spree. However, after they found out that Chris was still searching for the woman from that night, the two women no longer had the mood to shop. They returned to their apartment, feeling listless.Tally slumped herself on the small couch in the bedroom and said, "Let's just quit our jobs."Kathryn turned toward her and replied, "I can't. I have a monthly mortgage of two thousand dollars. I can't afford to just quit."Tally's expression turned even more solemn. She hugged a pillow to her chest and squeezed it several times, but found that it didn't work to calm her down."Why don't you just sell the house?" Tally suggested. If Kathryn didn't have to pay off her mortgage, she wouldn't be afraid to quit her job. As long as Kathryn quit, Tally wouldn't be implicated. Even though this thought was a bit selfish, at least one of them would be able to make it out of this alive."It hasn't even been a year since I bought it. I
Bright Future With Him Chapter 8
Markus couldn't understand why Chris had kept Kathryn as his assistant for this long. Was it because Kathryn was afraid of him and didn't act infatuated like his previous assistants? He thought that was a huge possibility.Kathryn turned back nervously. "Sorry, I dropped something. I think it'd be best if I took the employee elevators!" After telling that white lie, Kathryn tried to make a run for it. "Just get in," Chris demanded in a cold tone.Kathryn hesitated for a moment but didn't dare disobey. She walked into the elevator stiffly. She stood on Chris' left as the elevator ascended. Her back was pressed against the elevator, and she tried to make herself seem as inconspicuous as possible.Chris looked at her with a frown. "Go get me a report from the finance department.""Yes, sir." Kathryn straightened her back.When the elevator reached the finance department's floor, Kathryn sprinted out of the elevator. The way she ran resembled that of an escaped convict. Chris and

Kathryn hoped that the security guard hadn't betrayed them. However, seeing that Markus was asking her these questions, did it mean that Chris was still oblivious to the truth? She looked at Markus with uncertainty, but the man's expression was too difficult to read. He was similar to Chris in this respect. She didn't know why he'd cornered her with such questions.Markus went to flick his cigarette, then asked, "Mr. Albert handed you the pendant that was left in his room that night, didn't he? Where is it?"The pendant was something her grandmother had left her before she'd passed away. Kathryn had always worn it around her neck. However, after that night, she hadn't dared to wear it out in public again. Instead, she kept it in a box, where she stored most of her important belongings.Kathryn's palms began to sweat nervously. "I thought it might've belonged to the previous occupant and didn't think it was important. I don't know where I left it."She didn't dare lie about having

Since Chris hadn't asked her about it for an entire month, she'd assumed that it was settled. Now, it just seemed like things had gotten worse. Kathryn didn't know how to answer him.Sensing her silence, Chris glanced at her coldly. "What's wrong? Do you not want to do this?""No, I don't!" Kathryn thought, but she didn't dare say it out loud. Before she could say anything else, though, Chris continued, "From what I know of your abilities, you'll need some help to get to the position of executive assistant."Kathryn looked at him with wide eyes. Did that mean that he was sending her to learn from Markus because he wanted to promote her? That position paid four times more than she was earning now. To Kathryn, that was a huge temptation, as she still had a hefty mortgage to pay off.However, she soon lowered her head back down. "But what about Mr. Hunt?""Markus will be resigning at the end of the year and going home to help with his family business."Kathryn's breath caught in her thro

Kathryn shook her head. "No."She always had the pendant on, and with it being summer, many people had probably seen it on her. She was afraid that Chris would hold an internal investigation."You can't give it to him," Tally warned.Kathryn couldn't help but remember how Markus had acted when he'd asked her for the pendant. "But he was so insistent." Tally felt like she was about to go mad. She knew that Kathryn couldn't really not give the pendant to Chris. Everyone knew how good Markus was; whenever Chris needed something to be investigated, he would send Markus. He'd never failed before. If Kathryn refused to give Markus the pendant, then it would definitely make her suspicious. But if she did …"God damn it!" Tally was frustrated.Kathryn was also feeling very frustrated. She wished that she could turn back time and erase everything that had happened that night. "Then should I give it to him or not?" she asked anxiously."You have to, don't you?" Tally said, looking more frustrat

Chris' voice came from the other end of the phone. "Go over to Rexton Manor and pick up some documents for me. Also, bring me that purple tie in the wardrobe.""Yes, sir," Kathryn replied respectfully as she pressed the button for the lowest floor. She hung up just as the elevator doors opened. "Lend me your car; I need to go to Rexton Manor," she said to Tally."Mr. Albert should give you a car if he's going to order you to go to Rexton Manor all the time," Tally grumbled, but she took out her keys from her bag and gave them to Kathryn.Kathryn took the keys. "I'm just going to pick up some things for him. I'll claim all the expenses for you.""Mileage and train ticket costs are very different," Tally muttered. She'd never been satisfied with the way claims were handled in Chris' company. To her, he was a miser.Kathryn laughed. "Do you want me to pay you back the difference?""How are you going to do that? You have to pay almost two thousand dollars in mortgage payments every month."

Markus' gaze was uncomfortably sharp. Kathryn couldn't bring herself to be calm at the thought of working with him. She tried to make herself look as small as possible by hunching over slightly.Frustrated, Markus snapped, "Go back to work.""Yes, Mr. Hunt!" Kathryn was very relieved to hear him say that. She went back to her desk quickly.Markus gave her one last look before going into Chris' office.Kathryn tried her best to get back to work, but she couldn't help thinking about what she'd seen in Chris' lounge. She really needed to be more careful from now on, or she'd get in trouble.Markus stayed in Chris' office for around an hour just to discuss something. As soon as he left, Kathryn's work phone rang. She glanced up at the president's office instinctively, only to see Chris' dark and piercing gaze on her.Lowering her head in fright, she picked up the phone. "Hello?""Get over here." Chris' voice was low and angry. He hung up immediately after.Kathryn's grip on the phone tight

However, when Kathryn met Markus's sharp gaze, she shivered. Any thought of escape was immediately forgotten."Are you okay?" When she still remained immobile, Markus's gaze sharpened. Kathryn snapped back to attention at once."I'm fine!" she said as she made her way to his desk. Markus turned his laptop so that she could see the screen, which showed her supporting Chris. It looked like the time when she'd helped Chris back to his room.Kathryn's mind went blank again. Thankfully, before she could figure out how to react, the footage became a mess of black and white dots. Clearly, it had been damaged. Kathryn breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it.Nodding, she told Markus, "That's right, that's what Tally and I saw. We watched the entire night's worth of footage, but we didn't see anyone go in." She should know because she'd been in the room the entire night.Now that the surveillance footage was well and truly damaged, no one except her, Tally, and the security guard they'd bribe

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.
