Annabelle had thought it through—Lydia was, after all, Kendrick’s stepmother, and between them stood Kendrick’s father. If she told Kendrick directly, who knows how he’d punish Lydia in a fit of rage? That would only further strain his relationship with his father. And the grudge between Kendrick and Marvin would deepen too, which was exactly what Annabelle didn’t want.

But she also couldn’t just let it go. Lydia had become increasingly shameless, and if Annabelle kept swallowing her anger, she’d only be the one to suffer in the end.

So, she decided to bring the matter to the most authoritative person in the family—Grandpa. Let him stand up for her and deliver justice. What’s more, if Grandpa knew, then Kendrick’s father would know too. With the two elders stepping in, they could keep Lydia in check while sparing Kendrick the trouble of choosing between her and his family.

Kendrick narrowed his eyes slightly. “It has to do with Lydia, doesn’t it?”

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1270 Playing His Wife Again?

    But the young master didn’t look at her. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, dark and intense.It was a tree-lined path, lit by magnolia-shaped street lamps on one side. The soft yellow glow flickered in his deep eyes. His face showed the heaviness of alcohol and clear exhaustion.Tonight, he’d been filling in for Mr. Knight, entertaining guests, drinking nonstop, speaking endlessly.He wasn’t someone who enjoyed talking, but there were many things he couldn’t avoid—things he had to do whether he liked them or not.She remembered when she first learned to drive, how she couldn’t shake the trauma of her parents’ accident. Just sitting in the driver’s seat made her break into a cold sweat.But the young master told her, “The harder something is, the more you need to face it. It might be painful, but once you’ve tackled enough difficult things, one day you’ll look back and realize—nothing really scares you anymore. That’s when you’ve become strong.”But young master… why is it that no

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1269 Returning Her the Wine

    Seraphina sat sideways on the sofa, leaning forward slightly as she looked at the young master and quietly voiced her doubts while offering constructive suggestions...“Young Master, what’s your plan for tomorrow?You really shouldn’t have said that just now. Now it’ll be hard for us to maneuver around Mr. Knight.How about this? We can tell Mr. Knight that tomorrow isn’t an auspicious day for a wedding, that we both misread the date.”While Seraphina was muttering her ideas, the young master swirled his champagne glass, squinting at her, saying nothing, giving no indication of agreement or disagreement.Seraphina got anxious just seeing him like that. The always reliable young master—what was going on with him today?She kept whispering by his ear, fully in little-strategist mode beside the king…“I have another idea! You can pretend to show some interest in Miss Isabel. Play the role of someone heartless, tempted by wealth and love. That way, you can keep Mr. Knight hooked, make sur

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1268 What Color Is Seraphina in Young Master's Eyes

    Do you still remember that time we went to the bar together to celebrate defeating your uncle at the shareholders' meeting?You were so happy that day, drank quite a bit. I was worried you’d get drunk, so I tried to talk you out of it.But you just smiled and said, “Seraphina, today is a good day. Have a drink or two with me.”Then you called over the bartender and asked him to mix a cocktail for me.I knew that bartender specialized in creating drinks based on the customer’s personality and vibe. So I was curious—what kind of drink would represent me? I was really looking forward to it.But then the bartender asked you a question. He said, “Sir, in your eyes, what color is this young lady?”You were already a little tipsy then. You stared at me, eyes half-closed, and said: “If Seraphina were a color, she’d be violet.”Not a deep purple, and not a cold blue—something in between. A soft, dreamy color, like she might vanish at any moment.The look on your face when you described me—thin

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1267 I'll Stay With You

    Damien’s smile sent a cold sweat down Seraphina’s back.If she and the young master were really going to visit the Knight family tomorrow, what would Damien do to them?Seraphina knew all too well how Damien operated. Whatever he set his mind to, he would achieve by any means necessary. If any of his subordinates dared to defy him or show even the slightest sign of disobedience, he wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate them — better to get rid of them than keep a threat close.She was deeply worried for the young master’s safety — and for her own future.Right now, all she wanted was to leave this house with him as soon as possible and figure out a plan...At that moment, Uncle Wesley hurried over with an anxious expression, stopping beside Damien and whispering, “Mr. Knight, Young Master Aron isn’t feeling well. Would you like to check on him?”Damien’s face darkened. “What’s wrong with Aron?”“Maybe he still isn’t used to these kinds of events. After going to the lounge, he started showing

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1266 From Strangers to Familiar Faces

    Seraphina stared at the young master in a daze and foolishly asked, “Young Master, what do you mean? I… I don’t quite understand.”Even if she did understand, she wouldn’t dare to believe it.Was the young master really about to tell Mr. Knight that he wouldn't marry Miss Isabel because of her, Seraphina?Before he could even answer, Seraphina was already being pulled in front of Damien. She was still in a daze, completely unprepared.Damien had just finished chatting with two friends, who had now walked away. There was no one else beside him.Seraphina didn’t know where the beautiful Miss Knight had gone, or where the reclusive young master Aron was either.But none of that mattered.What mattered was—the young master was still holding her hand, and he said to Damien, “Mr. Knight, this is my fiancée, Seraphina. You’ve probably met her before.”The word “fiancée” fell like a pie from the sky, landing squarely on Seraphina’s head.She felt lightheaded from the impact—half stunned, half

    Rial curled his lips into a smile, but for some reason, his brows suddenly furrowed. The smile barely made it to the corners of his mouth before it faded.“What’s wrong?” Seraphina instinctively glanced behind her.But Rial turned her back around by her shoulders and said, “Don’t get distracted. I’m still waiting for your answer.”“I…”“Seraphina.”The Young Master's voice suddenly came from behind her, and Seraphina froze like a cat grabbed by the scruff of its neck.She wanted to turn around, but Rial held her shoulders firmly. “Little Seraphina, finish what you were going to say first.”Seraphina took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly, restraining the urge to look back at the Young Master.She was afraid that just one glance at him would shatter the hard-won decision she had made.She lifted her head to face the man before her. Rial was looking at her intently, his gaze deep and unwavering, like a net trying to trap her.It reminded her of his presence at the negotiation
