Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bright Future With Him: Kabanata 481 - Kabanata 490

When Chris' tone suddenly became so threatening, Kathryn's heart seized up. She couldn't believe him. "Then I won't say anything. I'll stay quiet!" Kathryn didn't dare continue after hearing Chris' dangerous tone. What if something happened to the Johnsons?She hadn't anticipated that things would become this difficult to resolve at this stage."S-So, how do you plan to punish me?" Kathryn asked pitifully. Even if she couldn't talk about Tally, she could talk about herself, right?Chris hadn't reacted much since last night, so Kathryn hadn't figured out that he already knew. She still thought he only found out last night. His overly calm tone also made her very nervous.Watching Kathryn's nervousness, the corner of Chris' lips lifted. However, Kathryn only saw his smile as a dangerous omen."I haven't decided," he said.Kathryn was speechless. He hadn't decided? Did that mean he hadn't decided how to punish both her and the Johnsons?"T-Then punish me alone! I can take it," K

Wendy had owed the hospital so much money that Patrick was forced to work here too until they paid off their debt.For the past few days, Wendy had been complaining the whole time while she worked. They were supposed to pay the bills, yet her pay kept getting docked.How were they supposed to repay the hospital like this? Wendy's mouth was a loose cannon, and Patrick didn't want to suffer with her."Docking, docking. What else do they do? Crush people's bones and suck their blood dry?" Wendy said hatefully, getting angrier and angrier as she thought about her situation."Get to work, and stop complaining!""Complaining? Whose fault is it that I'm like this?" Wendy was enraged now. She remembered some guy in the village she'd looked down on moving to the big city.And her? She had to sell the Everburns Highland house and move back to the village. Everyone else's lives were getting better, but hers was only getting worse!"Call Jessica again," Wendy told Patrick. He might have bee

The nursing supervisor glared at her sharply. "Quit it, you. And get back to work.""But—""Keep talking, and I'll dock a week's worth!"Wendy fell silent. She hadn't even worked for a full week yet, and the supervisor was already threatening to dock that much. When would she ever collect enough money for the medical bills?Wendy's hatred for Kathryn deepened a little. Why was she refusing to lend even a few hundred dollars? She was Mrs. Albert now, after all.Would she have been able to enjoy her riches if Wendy hadn't saved her life?When Patrick saw that her pay got docked, he looked at her with frustration. "Do you think this is Everburns Highlands, where you get to do whatever you want?""You're one to talk! Isn't your uselessness the only reason I came to Harborlean?" Before she arrived, Wendy had planned to worm her way into Jessica's home.When she found out Kathryn had a house, she was convinced she could settle down in Harborlean, too. It was a big city with a lot of

But then Kathryn would remember that she wasn't related to Wendy and feel relieved. Jessica felt the same too, so she said calmly, "It's good that we're not related. That way, we don't have to care about her anymore.""Where are you?""I'm outside," Jessica replied. It was already dark out there, and she was tired after a long day's work, but Kathryn's news had rejuvenated her. "Then I'll leave you to it. Let's meet up this weekend.""Okay." Although neither of them were Wendy's daughters, the bond between them seemed a little stronger now.Maybe it was because they'd looked out for each other since they were kids. Back then, Wendy didn't want to keep Kathryn with her, but Jessica pitied her. Nonetheless, Jessica's life with Wendy wasn't so good either.After she hung up, Jessica returned to sit in front of Matthew without any of the stress she'd previously shown. However, Matthew was still as cold as ever. "Was that Kathryn?" he asked icily.Jessica nodded. "Mm-hmm. That w

Krista was shocked. She couldn't argue with what Chris said at all. "I-I'm sorry. Can I pay back the money I'd used back then?"Pay back? The money she'd used to found Baydem Group? How much was she going to give him now, then? Baydem should have earned at least twenty times that amount by now."You're still so calculative, even after all these years," Chris said."I'll give you 20% of its assets! That's a lot." Krista wasn't budging when it came to the company or its stocks, no matter what. Besides, 20% of its profits over the years was indeed a lot.If Krista gave them to Chris, Baydem would take a huge financial hit, but she was really desperate. She had no other option but to deal with Chris' demands.That was why she couldn't let Chris take Baydem Group away. That was her top priority.Chris shot Krista a cold look, mockery in his eyes. "20 percent?""Yes." Krista nodded in fear and looked back at him nervously, worried that he wouldn't accept these terms.Beside her, Fran
