All Chapters of Bright Future With Him: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

At that moment, a surge of jealousy overwhelmed Mia to the point of near insanity. Her phone rang from inside her handbag. She quickly fished it out and answered the call. "Hello?"She could barely hide her rage when she spoke."It's me!" said Krista. When Mia heard her voice, she instantly came to her senses. Only then did she remember why she'd come here and why she had to go back.Her Chris … wasn't hers anymore. So what if she managed to break him and Kathryn up? She still wouldn't get to be with him."Didn't you go to Southvale? Why haven't Chris and Kathryn called off their wedding yet?" Krista still hadn't realized that Chris was the cause of all the trouble Miller Group was going through.When Mia heard Krista's accusing tone, she scoffed. "So what if they did? Have you forgotten, Mrs. Albert? They're already legally married. They have the marriage certificate to prove it!" Mia practically roared the word "certificate." Their goal wasn't to get the wedding called off. Th

Since Chris had already given his word as her boss, Kathryn felt a little better. If he'd asked her to suck up to Franco and get him to back off about their wedding, she wouldn't have been able to do that. But if she didn't need to tolerate their disrespect, then it was alright.At that time, the entire company felt surprised. They couldn't believe a country girl like Kathryn had married a rich man. This happened when the news about their marriage was first told to everyone.There were a lot of disdainful and mocking comments. But after she and Chris went on that business trip for a whole week, they pretty much accepted it.The only people in the assistants' department were Kathryn, Emily, Tara, Janet, and Elise. Janet wasn't at work today. Emily was a hard worker, and Tara was average.Elise had worked there the longest. Since Markus was about to quit, everyone thought Elise would be the next department head. That was why Elise started acting bossy.Of course, she was still cau

Elise asked that question with confusion. She had no idea Kathryn's position was so secure. Did Chris have to get so angry just because she went into the meeting room?Markus gave her a cold look. "Is it really just a handover issue?" he asked sharply.Elise's breathing almost stopped. Obviously, her real goal was to replace Kathryn as Chris' assistant. But Chris had been okay with her working with him on Kathryn's days off.Why was this time … She knew Kathryn always made mistakes at work, so why did Chris like to work with her so much?When Elise didn't say anything, Markus huffed, "I thought you'd be smarter than Pippa. I guess not.""Mr. Hunt!" Elise was shocked to hear Markus say that and looked at him in disbelief. Her chest seized up even more."If this happens again, you'll get kicked out of Albert Group. Got it?" Markus said with a harsh tone. Elise was still frustrated at first, but she started shaking when she heard what Markus said. Then, she took a deep breath and

Kathryn had difficulty holding back her yearning for her grandmother that day. She was crying so hard that she could hardly breathe. Suddenly, her body fell into a fiery set of arms. She tried to struggle out of her subconscious, but she heard a familiar voice of a man. "Don't move."Chris' voice was husky, which embraced Kathryn in calmness. She could smell the smell of cologne on him. It gave her a sense of familiarity and security. It made her sniffle.Her tears fell on the back of his hand. Chris never knew that tears were warm. He felt the burning sensation on his hand, aching his heart.Chris sighed. "Crying like a baby."His words intensified the grievance within Kathryn, making it grow stronger. She had always lived up to her grandmother's words, which urged her to succeed.Kathryn believed that what she meant was money. She would do well if she had money.That was why she had been desperate to buy a house at Harborlean, a city where every inch of land was pricey and

Chris paused, his gaze sharpening. "It's either one of them, Tally or Kathryn," Markus stated. Their investigation had narrowed to focus on both of them. If Tally was the one who destroyed the footage, she must have done it for herself or Kathryn.Upon hearing Markus' explanation, Chris found himself sharing the same train of thought. A chilling intensity crossed his eyes."Focus the investigation on Tally." Chris gritted his teeth. He hoped that by concentrating the investigation on Tally, she could be cleared of their suspicions. If it was between Tally and Kathryn, Chris couldn't deny his desire for it to be Kathryn.Markus nodded. "Okay."Kathryn and Tally remained unaware that Markus had been investigating them. They had been having their secret meetings at work. With Tally currently jobless, she was enjoying a full month's holiday following her resignation. Hence, Kathryn decided to meet Tally over coffee to discuss their next course of action. Nonetheless, Kathryn
