Bright Future With Him Chapter 118
When Chris recalled how terrified she was of Lewis, he began to understand why Kathryn acted like a coward. Some people could have compromised anything to survive, and Kathryn was especially willing to do that. After her grandmother passed away, her mother refused to take care of her, so Mr. Huber took her in. But she was always worried about risking her next meal, so she was very careful.That risk seemed even bigger once she got involved with him, as her mortgage was likely substantial. Kathryn looked at Chris pitifully. "Um, can you spare Tally?"When she met Chris' serious gaze, she knew Marcus and the others had probably restored the footage and reported their findings to him.Kathryn closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. "It was that time of the month, so I asked Tally—"Clang! Chris slammed down his fork before Kathryn could finish and pinched her chin. "No, it wasn't," he said.Kathryn's mind went blank when she heard that. She was about to ask how he knew, but t

Chris tilted Kathryn's chin up forcefully, forcing her to look into his cold eyes.Kathryn closed her eyes on instinct, but Chris ordered with a dangerous tone, "Open your eyes!"Kathryn didn't dare do that at all. Even with her eyes closed, she could feel how murderous Chris was. She didn't dare look at Chris at all."Open them!" Chris said with even more weight in his tone. This time, Kathryn didn't dare protest. She opened her eyes to meet Chris' cold gaze. She was so scared. She was about to close them again when Chris warned, "You dare close them?"She didn't dare. Chris was satisfied with that, but his gaze was still icy when he asked, "What did you lie to me about? Talk."What did she lie about? Kathryn's heart pounded. She wondered if she should just come clean. What would happen if she did? Would she still get to keep her house? Would she get to keep all the money she worked so hard to earn?After much thought, Kathryn gritted her teeth and said, "I'm ill! I'm seriou
Bright Future With Him Chapter 120
Even if Kathryn confessed now, she'd probably lose her house and savings. She couldn't have that!But Tally's next words shocked her. "Even if you plan to lie, you can't just say you're sick. Mr. Albert would get you the best doctors! How are you supposed to hide your pregnancy like this?"Kathryn's mind was blown. She hadn't thought of that. If Chris got her a doctor, wouldn't she be immediately exposed?Kathryn's breathing got heavier. "I mean, I don't think I could have found a better reason than that, could I?"She had been scared witless. It was a miracle she found a reason in the first place."Seriously?" Tally said. Now, she had no idea what to say."What do we do now?" Kathryn asked."Just confess what you did!" Tally had given up. She'd lost sleep and appetite trying to cover things up all the time. She was always scared. More importantly, Chris still hadn't let go of what happened at Northvale. They hadn't found out the truth yet, but the investigation would still le

After ending the call, Kathryn's heart pounded so intensely that it felt unbearable. She was truly desperate at that moment.Now she had to keep up a lie that could be easily uncovered. If what Tally had mockingly said was true, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on until she sold the house. Kathryn only came out of her room after two whole hours. When she opened the door, she saw that Chris finished the video call. He was making a phone call right now.When he noticed her, Chris said to the listener, "Mm-hmm, come here at once." Then, he hung up and waved Kathryn over, even though she was only halfway out the door. "Come here."Kathryn's chest tightened when she saw him calling her like he was calling a pet.She wanted to retreat into her room but didn't dare to once she met Chris' sharp gaze. So, she shakily got out and walked toward Chris.She stopped and wrung her hands together when she was about three feet away. "M-Mr. Albert?"Before she could react, Chris pulled he

Tally's demeanor had become more arrogant than usual due to her dilemma. As she left Albert Group and saw Markus, she instinctively straightened her back.She would usually hide when she saw Markus or Chris because of all the secrets that had been weighing on her. But now she didn't want to hide anymore.As she passed Markus, she walked with her head held high, as if she hadn't done that in a long time. She was about to walk past him when Markus stopped her. "Tally, come to my office."Tally stopped in her tracks. She could sense how sharp and dangerous his tone was, and all her pride disappeared right there.Tally couldn't help but curse inwardly. Guilt was guilt, and she knew she couldn't escape its grip so easily. Did she truly believe that giving up would set her free? She realized that lies were like an oppressive chain that wouldn't let go of her conscience. By opting for lies, Tally had essentially forfeited any opportunity for freedom. Tally turned around and forced a

Meanwhile, every minute was torture to Kathryn at Rexton Manor. Chris was sitting on the couch, looking through documents. Cara served freshly cut fruit to them, but Kathryn had no appetite at all. It was almost an hour now, and Kathryn got nervous just looking at Chris.When the doorbell rang, Kathryn flinched. The fruit plate she was holding fell on the carpet with a dull thud.Chris looked at Kathryn coldly in response, making her tremble in fear. "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that," she said.By then, Cara had already opened the door to reveal an old man with white hair. "Dr. Garcia, you're here! Please, come in!" she said respectfully.Adrian Garcia was the Albert family's personal doctor, so even the servants knew him well.Upon hearing that the doctor had arrived, Kathryn became very nervous and quickly bent down to tidy up the mess."Stop that," Chris said with a scolding tone.Kathryn suddenly felt like she had two left feet and hands. Her body wasn't listening to her
Bright Future With Him Chapter 124
Chris' mother was still alive? Kathryn had known that Franco's current wife was his stepmother since she started working at Albert Group, but she thought his birth mother was dead! Kathryn couldn't help but think that Franco was an asshole. Kathryn recalled Chris himself had told her that his mother was dead. Or was that just something he said in the heat of the moment?Just how much did he hate her? Then again, if someone asked her about her mother, she'd also wished she could say Wendy was dead.Some women are just such confusing mothers.When Chris heard Adrian mention his mother, his eyes became colder, and he shook his head. "She's never coming back. She was very clear about that back when she left."Adrian sighed and shook his head. "That's true. When she left, she'd left everything in Harborlean behind!"That could only mean one thing. Chris' mother wouldn't come back, no matter what happened. It was a painful but understandable decision.Kathryn didn't dare interrupt
Bright Future With Him Chapter 125
When Chris heard the word "results," his expression instantly darkened as he looked at Adrian. He asked, "How is she?"The color drained from Kathryn's face as she trembled. She was screwed! She looked at Adrian pleadingly.However, Adrian didn't notice anything, possibly because his eyesight failed him. He looked back at Chris and said honestly, "Ms. Michaels isn't sick."Kathryn stopped breathing. Adrian might look kind and amiable, but he was too cruel. He sold her out without hesitation. She really wished she could die on the spot.Chris asked, "She isn't sick?" His tone was more than harsh. He looked profoundly at Kathryn, who was sitting beside him.Kathryn tried her best to suppress her panic. She forced a happy smile, trying to express to Chris that she was healthy and happy. But her smile was worse than crying!Adrian nodded. "The hospital must have given a misdiagnosis. Ms. Michaels really isn't sick."When Kathryn heard the word "misdiagnosis," her eyes lit up, and sh
