Bright Future With Him Chapter 91
Everyone at Albert Group knew Chris disliked women who advanced their careers unethically. Nobody dared to make any risky moves in the years he took over the company because of that. Yet, that seemingly meek Kathryn had somehow found a loophole!"Who knows? She's glued to Mr. Albert every day and frequently visits Rexton Manor. That's where he currently resides!""First come, first served?""You should hold off on discussing that for now. People in this department have been fired in the past because of such discussions!"One of the junior secretaries seemed to recall something. However, she didn't dare to continue the conversation.The other secretary didn't dare to continue the conversation after being reminded.Elise got so angry that she slammed the files she was holding on the office desk when she heard that. Elise and Janet were the only veterans in the company then. The new secretaries enjoyed gossiping. But Markus had hired them from elsewhere, so their abilities were

The ramifications would be truly disastrous!Chris was pleased with her reaction. He gently caressed her head when he passed by her. "Good girl."Kathryn was rendered speechless. "Why do I feel like he's petting his own pet?" she thought.She was alone in his office after he left, and she hurriedly took out her phone and called Tally.The latter had returned to her workstation. Even though she had handled everything properly, she was still fearful and on edge.She jumped like a startled rabbit when she received Kathryn's call and instinctively wanted to throw away her phone. However, she stopped herself from doing so when she saw the caller ID.Tally answered the call nervously. "Kathryn?"Kathryn's voice was also soft. "What's wrong with you? How could you do something like this?"Her best friend's actions had rendered her speechless!The feeling was mutual, but Tally had to admit that it wasn't Kathryn's fault this time. Fortunately, Kathryn hadn't shown the prescription to

Markus nodded. "Don't you think everything is a little too coincidental?"Coincidental? There were no coincidences in Chris' world.If it was done by the same person, that person must be from within the company."This means Krista's underlings are still infiltrating his company!" His face darkened at that thought."It seems like it's time for another reshuffle!" Chris sneered.There were plenty of Krista's underlings within the company when he first took over Albert Group a few years ago. It took him half a year to get rid of them all. He knew that Krista wouldn't just sit still because of that."I'll investigate as soon as possible!" Markus exclaimed.Chris grunted in acknowledgment. Then he added coldly, "Make it noticeable!"Anyone associated with Krista didn't deserve to be treated with respect. That woman needed to understand that some things were not meant for her. She shouldn't even harbor such delusions about them.Markus nodded. "Got it!"Meanwhile, Kathryn was in Ch
Bright Future With Him Chapter 94
Krista was taken aback. She hadn't expected Kathryn to be so quick-witted and articulate. She had a sharp comeback to whatever she said.Elise came in with a cup of coffee. "Mrs. Albert, here's your coffee.""Get lost!" Krista couldn't do anything to Kathryn, so she vented her anger at Elise.Elise tensed up, and her expression hardened after being yelled at. She suppressed her anger, turned around, and left the office without saying anything.Kathryn looked at the enraged Krista. "Why vent your anger on innocent people?"From the bottom of her heart, she looked down on Krista.For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with the woman in front of her. However, she couldn't remember why.After all, Krista was Mrs. Albert. She was Franco's wife, and given their ages, they'd never met before.Krista picked up the coffee cup in front of her, took a sip, and cut to the chase. "Leave him, and you can name your terms!"Kathryn arched her brow. "I don't want anything to do with

Kathryn nodded her head pitifully. She was genuinely aggrieved. Being involved with Chris had already been her worst mistake. To make matters worse, his stepmother was bullying her now. There was no way she would allow that to happen. Her life would be miserable if she allowed that woman to bully her. Chris smiled as he pulled her onto his lap. "You've made her livid, yet you still feel aggrieved?"He had heard everything when he walked in just now. Krista was so angry that she broke her high heels in the lobby downstairs. She was clearly walking with too much force because she was angry.Kathryn huffed, "Who gave her permission to say such things about me!"Chris was amused by her "miss goody two-shoes" look, which said, "It's not me. It's her!"He observed the usually timid girl and was surprised that she had managed to make Krista so angry. He believed that this was the second time she had done so.Chris felt he had made the right choice at that moment. This girl might look

Kathryn's face reddened even further as she realized she was still sitting on Chris' lap.Chris had no idea how the former had settled matters with Krista. But he was pleased that Kathryn had managed to provoke his stepmother's rage. Just as he picked up his phone, Kathryn received a notification."One hundred thousand dollars—" Her heart skipped a beat as she read its contents. "Chris!" she called out, stunned.They had talked about this before. In addition to her two-thousand-dollar salary, she received a fifty-thousand-dollar monthly allowance. Along with the leaves she had taken this month, she should not receive more than 52 thousand dollars.But now, the numbers on her screen demanded her attention.Ten thousand dollars … It felt like the sky had simply parted for an influx of undeserved cash to drop into her lap.Her dazed expression earned a chuckle from Chris. "Your performance has been exceptional. Consider the rest a bonus.""Thank you, Mr. Albert!" Kathryn's smil

Abruptly, her phone vibrated on the couch, prompting Kathryn to pick it up hurriedly. As she did so, she did not forget to peer in Chris' direction.It wasn't until she was certain she hadn't disrupted his work that Kathryn let out a sigh of relief.Chris hated disruptions, especially when he was editing his documents.Kathryn picked up her phone and headed to the balcony outside the lounge. Only then did she glance at the caller ID.It was Wendy.Kathryn's expression darkened. She answered the call anyway. "Hi," she began coolly."Hi, Kathryn. I-It's me!" Wendy's voice came through her phone, filled with feigned gentleness. She was probably feeling rather awkward herself, for her voice sounded unnatural.Kathryn hummed coldly.Her indifference enraged Wendy, but the latter attempted to suppress her temper. "So, when are you bringing Chris back home?" she asked.A flash of iciness crossed Kathryn's face. "Why do I have to bring him back home?" she asked unceremoniously."Kath
Bright Future With Him Chapter 98
Kathryn wiped the tears away from her face clumsily. She turned, only to meet Chris' fathomless gaze."Mr-Mr. Albert." She shivered involuntarily.The contrast between the two of them was stark.Chris' gaze darkened as he strode in her direction. Instinct had her stepping back at once.Despite her retreat, Chris managed to grab her chin, his other arm circling her slender wrist. "Who were you calling just now?" he asked."Someone as shitty as Krista," Kathryn told him with a snort.Chris raised a brow. "Your stepmother?""No!" Kathryn's rage flared even more.To some degree, she could understand Krista's horridness. After all, evil stepmothers were prevalent—they always have been."Do the two of you not get along?" Chris pressed on."My grandmother was the one who raised me," Kathryn replied.Chris nodded.The investigation's information matched what she had told him now. She was an orphan who was completely dependent on her grandmother for her survival.Even so, he had ne

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.
