Bright Future With Him のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 151 - チャプター 160

Chris walked out with Kathryn, leaving an embarrassed Mia. Amelia looked at her with sympathy and said, "Don't take it to heart, Mia. She's just some country girl that Chris is putting on an act with!"Amelia had looked into Kathryn before. Kathryn was a girl who studied her way out of the countryside. Amelia thought it was ridiculous that Kathryn aimed to marry into a wealthy family with her unimpressive appearance.Meanwhile, Mia tried her best to hold back her tears. Chris' sudden exit left Victor, Travis, and Marco embarrassed too. Marco glanced at Hannah and told her, "Take care of Ms. Davis, Hannah.""Okay." Hannah reacted quickly and started cutting up Mia's mutton for her.However, she was very annoyed by how Mia showed up uninvited. Even if they'd dated in the past, Chris was married now! She was only staying silent for her boyfriend's sake."Eat up, Mia!" Hannah placed the lamb in Mia's bowl. But Mia didn't touch it. Instead, Mia scanned the room and asked, "So

It happened so suddenly. After Adrian left, Kathryn thought the matter was settled. Who knew that he'd actually try to get the doctor responsible for that report fired?Remembering that Markus was coming for Tally, Kathryn wanted to text her. But Chris was looking at her threateningly, so she didn't dare move a muscle.Chris' gaze got even colder when she didn't respond again. "Answer me!""I-I don't know!" Kathryn almost cried. What could she say? Everything she said could make things worse! The only way out of this … was to dodge the question!However, Chris clearly wasn't going to let her do that. Kathryn heard the hiss of a match being lit much faster than usual. From that alone, she could tell how much Chris was suppressing his anger. Kathryn wished she could jump out of the car and escape."You don't know?" Chris asked. The murderous intent in those three words made him sound like Satan himself. Kathryn wanted to nod, but Chris was so scary that she couldn't say a word.

That cold, sharp counter question almost destroyed Tally's defenses, but she held on and said as calmly as possible, "Of course there wasn't?""How so?" How so, indeed. Was she still being stubborn, or was she just plain clueless?"May I remind you that the report is Kathryn's?" Markus continued, his tone growing sharper."Oh, that's true. But I was the one who got it wrong."Markus held that sharp gaze toward her, waiting for whatever she would say next. Tally felt a little guilty because of that, but she held on. "My father was forcing me to marry. I wanted that report for myself, but I accidentally said Kathryn's name during the phone call. That's how the doctor got confused," she lied seriously.Markus said nothing and took a sip of water. His uncaring attitude made it clear that he didn't believe a word of her bullshit. That scared Tally a lot. Even though she kept telling herself she didn't need to be scared because he wasn't her actual boss, Markus was too good at inves

Kathryn remembered that Tally was braver than anyone, which slightly reassured her. Tally only texted around three o'clock, saying, "I feel like I just died!""So Mr. Hunt did interrogate you?" Kathryn texted back."Why didn't you tell me beforehand if you knew?" Tally felt like she wanted to die. Kathryn's secret was getting really hard to cover up. Nothing happened today, but Markus and Chris were keeping such a close eye on them. They'd get busted sooner or later."I wanted to, but I couldn't. He called Mr. Albert directly," Kathryn said. Under such a pressuring gaze, she didn't even dare move, let alone contact Tally."We're doomed!"Even without seeing Tally's face, Kathryn could tell it was pale. The events of today had deeply frightened them. Everything had happened so suddenly.Kathryn looked up. Chris hadn't come out of the study since he entered it. He was probably in a video call meeting. So, she quickly took her phone to her bedroom, then called Tally."Kathryn, wh

Kathryn's heart sank when she saw Chris' face fall, and she lost the ability to think entirely. Coldness flashed in Chris' eyes as he strode over. Then, he pinched Kathryn's chin and asked coldly, "Children? What do you mean?""W-What exactly did he hear?" Kathryn asked herself. Kathryn opened her eyes, only to find herself looking into Chris' intense gaze. She hastily shut her eyes again.The grip on her chin tightened. "Open your eyes!"Kathryn didn't dare open them. But when Chris' grip tightened again, Kathryn opened her eyes out of pain. She let out a pitiful cry, "Mr. Albert.""What children? Tell me!" His tone got even harsher. What little nerves Kathryn had gathered were destroyed again. She was now completely unable to think. All she could do was look dumbly at Chris."Tell me!""I-I-I-It was Tally!" Kathryn stammered.In a sudden rush of panic, she remembered that she had forgotten to ask what Markus had asked of Tally and what Tally's response had been. What c
