Semua Bab Bright Future With Him: Bab 1271 - Bab 1280

Kathryn had just arrived at the entrance of Skyline Group when her phone rang. She answered the phone call without checking the caller ID."Hello.""It's me," Susan's voice came through the phone.Kathryn immediately frowned. Her grip on her phone tightened. "What is it?""Grandma wants to meet you right now," Susan said coldly.There was no doubt that there was a natural opposition in their coexistence. Susan would still take Kathryn as her enemy even if Kathryn had done nothing.Kathryn believed she had effectively prevented Susan from getting involved with Chris. Yet, it wasn't actually her fault. She had been part of Krista's plan, after all. Susan couldn't be together with Chris even if she didn't exist.Emma, on the other hand, had been indifferent to Kathryn from the start, ever since she became aware of her existence. She acted as if Susan were her biological granddaughter and Kathryn was the one encroaching on Susan's status.Kathryn doubted Emma's intentions of wantin

Emma couldn't comprehend how Chris could fall for Kathryn when she behaved in such a manner. She harbored resentment toward Chris for rejecting Susan and insisting on marrying someone so impolite."A country bumpkin, indeed. Such manners," Emma openly expressed her dissatisfaction.However, Kathryn remained indifferent and continued with her actions.Emma couldn't conceal the disgust in her eyes, especially when she heard the noises emanating from Kathryn's phone.Susan attempted to persuade Kathryn. "Grandma only has a few words to say. It won't take much of your time. Please, keep your phone."She understood that serious matters couldn't be discussed if Kathryn continued behaving this way."Can you finish in five minutes?""It'll take less than five minutes," Susan replied.Upon hearing that it could be finished within five minutes, Kathryn promptly turned off her phone. She then directed her attention toward Emma. "You can talk now."Despite her initial rage, Emma chose not

Kathryn had already observed the shameless behavior of Emma and Arthur in the past, but she was now utterly astonished at the extent of their audacity.Her previous belief that people might exhibit kindness, especially when facing death, shattered. Instead of reflecting on his own mortality, Arthur's dying thoughts were solely focused on Susan's future, leaving Kathryn dumbfounded by their continued shamelessness.…Chris had just finished a meeting when Kathryn returned to the Albert Group. Noticing that Kathryn looked furious, he approached her. "Who made you mad? I thought you were meeting Jessica." He couldn't fathom that Kathryn's agitation was solely due to a meeting with Jessica.Kathryn sniffled upon seeing Chris; her red nose reflected her intense resentment. Without hesitation, Chris enveloped her in his arms. "What happened?""T-The Winchesters!" Kathryn was so enraged that she was even stuttering.Her fury had intensified during her journey back to the company, ca

Emma recognized that, given Benjamin's behavior, she and Susan wouldn't stand a chance if anything were to happen to Arthur. They would have brought Kathryn back into the family if they knew Benjamin would react aggressively. Susan shared similar thoughts, acknowledging that their impulsive actions had led to the current situation."Should we bring her home instead?" Susan suggested through gritted teeth. At this point, she was willing to disregard the potential consequences of Kathryn returning to the family. The strained relationship between Kathryn and the Winchesters had become a significant source of distress.They had called Benjamin yesterday. He didn't return home at all. They weren't able to meet him in person. They were completely on their own. It seemed like they were nothing to him anymore all of a sudden.Emma and Susan had been thinking about the matter. They believed that Kathryn was the reason why everything happened. They were certain that everything would be

Nevertheless, Kathryn found this particular coldness from Jessica not at all bothersome. Taking a deep breath, Kathryn stated, "I won't be going.""Kathryn, I just hope you're okay. You're the only one who is doing well by my side," Jessica's voice carried a tone of resignation.Tears welled up in Kathryn's eyes upon hearing Jessica's words. "You don't have to worry about me. Actually, I—""Talk to you later. I've got something else to do." Jessica abruptly hung up, perhaps anticipating what Kathryn was about to say.Kathryn could hardly breathe when she heard the disconnected tone. She recollected what Jessica had told her before. Jessica had emphasized that she and Kelly were the most important people in her life. Discovering the identity of Kelly's father and her own mother wouldn't alter the fact that Kathryn and Kelly held that paramount place. That explained Jessica's reluctance to involve Kathryn in Byron's affairs; she was content and reassured by Kathryn's current well
