Julissa was stunned—Mr. Nichols had hit the nail on the head.

“It’s not Heather, and no one’s threatening me!” she blurted out.

Scott gave a slight nod. “Got it. That says it all.”

“Mr. Nichols, my parents are doing just fine in Greece, really!” she said anxiously.

“Relax, I won’t startle the snake by hitting the grass.”

“…!”

And just like that, Julissa was tricked into admitting she had been threatened—completely confused and against her will.

Later, she reflected on it: Why was the secret she tried so hard to protect so easily seen through by Scott?

No matter how she looked at it, the answer was simple: Scott was too sharp, too intelligent. She never stood a chance.

But… could he really save her parents?

That afternoon, Grandpa made them a huge, delicious lunch.

Julissa came down a bit late but managed to catch the last few dishes. She helped him out a little too, stealing the chance to pick up a few cooking tricks.

Mr. Nichols’s grandfather was a kind and warm old man. Through ch

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1200 A Night Stroll in the Garden

    By now, the sky had grown dark.Julissa couldn't help asking, "Mr. Nichols, doesn’t the botanical garden close at night?"Scott told her that the director of the garden was a friend of his grandfather. He’d already called ahead and arranged everything. As a thank-you, he would be donating a hundred rare tree species to the park.Julissa thought to herself, Isn’t that a bit of an expensive appointment? But inwardly, she also admired his approach.Whether you’re a billionaire or a powerful official, no one should abuse their position for personal gain or casually take up others' time and resources. Fair exchange was the only proper way to do things.Still, she couldn’t figure out why he wanted to bring her here—especially at night.Memories of her childhood trauma in this very garden at night made her a little nervous.Just thinking about being in this huge garden with only the two of them gave her chills."Mr. Nichols, it’s already dark... Are we really going in?"Scott rubbed the top

    As soon as the blinds closed, Mr. Nichols let loose. With no hesitation, he took the lead—lifting Julissa up by the waist and setting her on the desk.His kiss was both intensely gentle and blazing hot.By the time the two of them were flushed with heat from the kiss, Julissa, face burning, said, “Mr. Nichols, maybe we should stop for today…”Once in the morning, once at noon, and now again in the afternoon—who could possibly take it?Scott smirked. “You’re overthinking it, Miss Hickman. I just wanted to kiss you. Besides, we’ve got somewhere to be—I have something to tell you.”“Where? What is it?”“You’ll find out soon enough,” Scott said, pinching her cheek with a smile.Julissa’s curiosity was instantly piqued. She wanted to know exactly where they were going and what Scott wanted to say.“Mr. Nichols, are you done with work? Can we go now?”“All done. Wipe those tears, let’s go.”Julissa quickly wiped her face. “All set!”Scott shook his head helplessly. “Just like Kola.”Julissa

    As they made their way upstairs, they ran into several company employees. Everyone greeted them politely, so the two didn’t chat much along the way.Once inside the executive suite, Scott headed straight to the round meeting room. Julissa stepped into her role as assistant, made some copies of documents for the executives, distributed them, and then sat down to take meeting notes.Back at her post, back at Scott’s side, that unsettled feeling she’d been carrying for days finally began to ease.There were still dangers and difficulties ahead—but with the two of them together, everything felt a little more manageable.She realized, just like that, she’d found her way out of that dead end in her mind.Thankfully, Scott hadn’t given up on her.Julissa looked at the man at the head of the table. He was deep in discussion with the team about a new project.The older and more experienced team members listened closely, nodding in agreement, clear admiration on their faces.The younger ones we

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1197 Lucky to Have Met a Good Brother

    "You're awake, Julissa," Grandpa greeted her kindly.Feeling a bit embarrassed, Julissa smoothed her hair and greeted him obediently.When Scott glanced at her, he teased, "I thought you'd sleep until nightfall."Julissa shot him a glare. Who was to blame for how exhausted she was?Still not fully awake, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with him and slumped into a chair nearby, staring blankly at the black and white Go pieces before her.Her head felt foggy again, and her thoughts drifted back to the dream she'd just had—the one with that kind older brother. She couldn’t help but marvel at how strange the brain could be.She had long forgotten the events of that year, and even the brother’s face. At least, she thought she had. But in that dream, she’d remembered it so clearly.Turns out, some people and memories aren't really forgotten—they're just sealed away in some quiet corner of your mind.The more she recalled the face in the dream, the more familiar he seemed. Where had she se

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1196 Alright, I’ll Spill Everything

    Scott’s sharp gaze landed on her, making Julissa instinctively shrink back a little.“If I can’t, then forget it…”“Did I say you can’t?”“…No.”Scott let go of her hand. With his unspoken permission, Julissa ran over happily with the dog in tow.Sitting on the wide hammock, she looked at Mr. Nichols walking toward her and silently muttered in her heart: Moody, unpredictable, no wonder he’s been single all this time. Lucky for him I’m patient and tolerant.If you keep snapping at me for no reason, I’m leaving you tomorrow.Thinking of that made her pause. Leaving wasn’t just something she said to be dramatic—unless her parents’ situation was resolved, she couldn’t truly be at peace with Scott.But she shook her head, brushing those heavy thoughts away. After all, Scott had been keeping a close watch on her these past few days—she couldn’t run even if she tried.With that in mind, she relaxed and laid back on the hammock, looking up at the sunlight filtering through the leaves above. D

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1195 A Wedding Gift?

    Julissa thought for a moment—who among her friends did she and Mr. Nichols both know?There actually weren’t many. And among those few, someone with this level of talent? Practically a rare gem.Combined with Mr. Nichols’s tone, it clearly hinted at someone she wouldn’t expect.“Could it be… Mr. Gregory?”Scott gave her a sidelong glance. “Not bad—you’re actually right.”Seeing she’d guessed correctly, Julissa beamed. After all, in her heart, Mr. Gregory was a bit of an all-round genius.Scott let out a cold snort, clearly displeased. “Hmph. You sure hold him in high regard.”Julissa glanced at him and quickly realized she might’ve praised Gregory too much. She hurried to make amends: “Mr. Nichols, you’re all-powerful too!”“Oh? Could that flattery sound any more fake?”Julissa knew he wasn’t seriously upset, so she just chuckled awkwardly and tried to move on.Still, she couldn’t help looking back at the villa again, admiration in her voice. “But Mr. Gregory really is talented. Not o

    Julissa instantly let go and retreated to her side of the bed. “Fine, read it then. I wrote it for you anyway. Now that you've read it, I won’t need to write another one the next time I try to leave.”Scott gave a dismissive laugh.Clearly, he didn’t think she’d ever get another chance to escape.Julissa thought he was just bluffing and wouldn’t actually read it aloud for fun. But the moment she turned around, he did start reading—out loud.With that golden voice of his, the one worthy of winning poetry recital awards, he recited with just the right touch of dramatic flair:“Dear Mr. Nichols, by the time you read this letter, I’ll already be gone. Don’t look for me. Don’t worry about me. I’ll take good care of myself...”Julissa was about to go crazy. She yanked the covers over her head in horror.But Scott’s voice didn’t stop:“Without you, I might struggle to find a place this nice, or a job that pays so well. But at least I’ll be able to live happily. I will also...”He paused.“So

    Scott glanced at her lips, then quickly looked away and cleared his throat.“Grandpa asked me if you were of legal age, if we’d ever lived together, whether we should arrange a separate room for you, and if he needed to call your parents to let them know you’re safe.”Julissa burst out laughing, nearly choking on her yogurt.“And what did you say?”“I told him the truth. You’re not underage, and…” He gave her lips a wicked glance. “We’ve already slept together.”His tone was especially suggestive when he said “slept together.”Julissa silently edged away from him.This guy had serious wolf energy—always ready to pounce. But she was really tired today and had no desire to be “tossed around” again.Still, Grandpa was kind of adorable—he actually thought his grandson had brought home a high schooler.“So Grandpa gave you a bottle of yogurt after that?”While speaking, Julissa squatted down and poured a bit of yogurt into the cap, ready to offer it to the Kola, who had been staring at her
