Chapter 123 The Young Master Was Very Dissatisfied
Last Updated:
2024-12-31 18:02:37The assistant told Gavyn that the partner had received reliable information that Annabelle and Kendrick would be getting divorced soon, and it was Annabelle who had initiated it. This news made Kendrick very unhappy.
The reason why the partner chose the Sanchez Group was solely based on their relationship with the Gregory family. Since the Sanchez family offended the Gregory family, they also decided not to continue the collaboration.
After listening to the assistant's report, Gavyn's head buzzed.
Mr. Gregory was very unhappy about leaving because it was Annabelle's idea...
It should be noted that once this news spreads, it will have little impact on the Gregory family business, but it will be enough to bring the Sanchez family down and even worsen their situation compared to two months ago.
"Mr. Sanchez, I am worried that other companies have also heard the news, and three of them have already stated clearly that they will not renew their contract

"Annabelle, your mother is just like that, saying whatever she wants, don't take it to heart.""What do you have to say? Please speak up."Annabelle couldn't stand her father's hypocritical facade. Although he wasn't as cruel as Briley, these two individuals were essentially the same."Ah, I know, over the years I have owed you and neglected you, but which parent doesn't want their children to be well?"Annabelle laughed. If they truly wished her well, would they have sent her, at the age of 10, to Springvale Temple without even visiting? If they truly wished for her, would they have forced her into marriage for the sake of business?Gavyn sighed, "I felt really bad when I pressured you into getting married. I thought the Gregory family could provide you with a good life, but I didn't expect you to insist on getting a divorce. Well, it's up to you now. But Dad has a request that he's not happy about.""An unwelcome request? Since when have y

Annabelle frowned and looked at her father, "How did you know he didn't want to?""I called his assistant, it's true!"This is true, Gavyn did go to Jaime to drop a hint.Gavyn hesitated for a moment and continued, "But you know, men have a bit of an ego, so it's a little difficult for them to take the initiative and reconcile. It requires you to take the initiative a bit."Annabelle pondered for a moment. Kendrick's assistant wouldn't casually discuss their boss's personal matters, so if Jaime said that Kendrick didn't want a divorce, it should be true.At the same time, Annabelle suddenly realized something.The divorce matter, which originally only Annabelle and Kendrick knew, is now known to everyone. Who leaked the news?There was only one possibility, Kendrick.He definitely knew that once this news was released, the Sanchez Group would be in dire straits, so Kendrick didn't want a divorce and wanted to use this method to

Annabelle was feeling angry and thinking about how to negotiate with Kendrick when she saw him later.Divorce is definitely inevitable, but how can we make him spare the Sanchez family?Lost in thought, Kendrick's tall figure emerged from the arrival gate.He was wearing a white shirt on his upper body, with the sleeves slightly rolled up. He had on gray trousers on his lower body, and casually draped a coat over his wrist. He looked lazy and restrained. Coupled with his cold and handsome face, he was simply a walking hormone.Sure enough, as soon as he appeared, he immediately caught everyone's attention.Several girls were exclaiming "so handsome" and some people took out their phones to snap pictures of Kendrick.The two girls closest to Annabelle were chatting boldly, saying, "Ah, I really want to sleep with him!"Another person said, "You're such a fool for him. He just glanced at you and you fainted. How can you sleep?""

Annabelle only realized at that moment that everything, including today's reporters, had all been arranged by Kendrick alone.That's why he wanted her to pick him up at the airport!Not only did he use the Sanchez Group as leverage to make her reconsider, but he also forced her to publicly retract her words.Everything Kendrick did conveyed a message to her, that if he wanted her, every step she took would be within his calculations, and she couldn't escape at all!Annabelle always thought that she was not easily bullied, but when she met Kendrick, she realized that she was no match for him. It was like a little witch encountering a big witch, or a little rabbit fighting against an old fox. The difference in strength was so great that there was no suspense about the outcome.At least this time, she lost.Annabelle turned to the reporters and smiled, saying, "We had just gotten married, we hadn't even gone on our honeymoon, how could we be ge

Annabelle blinked her eyes, how could she know his thoughts!However, Kendrick looked at her expression and wondered why it was so strange, as if she had some kind of treasure on her.Annabelle's brain raced as she wondered what exactly she had on her that Kendrick found worth pondering.It was impossible for him to pursue her wealth, nor was it about lust. After all, he was so wealthy and surrounded by beautiful women.What about her medical skills? It seems unlikely, as Kendrick's illness has already been cured and her usefulness has diminished. Moreover, the private doctor by his side is also highly skilled.After thinking for a while, I remembered what he said to the reporter today, saying that they were almost having a child.Did Kendrick want to...Annabelle looked at Kendrick with a vigilant expression, as if she was staring at a human trafficker who was about to take her organs at any moment.Kendrick was also wondering
Last Updated : 2025-01-01I wish it were you Chapter 129 Saw What Shouldn't Have Been Seen
Annabelle was going crazy, how could there be such a shameless person!Unfortunately, she was still unable to do it.After all, since the Sanchez Group was not going to buy the Gregory family, she had to withdraw her divorce request and continue living under the same roof with this old fox."Then I will make it clear to you, I don't love you now, and I won't fall in love with you in the future. If you like to give without expecting anything in return, I won't stop you, but one day I will leave you."After saying that, Annabelle pushed him away and angrily went upstairs.Looking at that stubborn figure, Kendrick, who had always been dominant in the business world, suddenly felt confused and unusually lost in his heart.She seemed to really not like him at all, as if she couldn't wait to leave his side at any moment.In the past, he had always had a natural attitude towards Annabelle. He tried his best to fulfill her desires and never f

Annabelle blushed belatedly and angrily scolded, "Why weren't you dressed properly!""After taking a shower, it's time to sleep. Why bother putting on clothes?""Don't you wear clothes when you sleep?""Why do we have to wear clothes when we sleep?" Kendrick smirked ambiguously."..."Annabelle rubbed her forehead.What on earth was she doing? Why was she discussing with this person about whether to wear clothes while sleeping or not...She bent down to pick up the towel and turned her face away, handing it to Kendrick, saying, "Wrap yourself up!"After saying that, she ran back to her room as if escaping, quickly locked the door, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.Annabelle silently reminded herself to be careful in the future. Kendrick was an adult man, and from her observations, he didn't usually stay out overnight and probably didn't have a sexual life. However, his quick awakening just now hinted to Annabelle th

Afterwards, Kendrick drove the car out of the garage, and Annabelle opened the car door and sat in the back seat, acting as if she were the leader and he was the chauffeur. After the car entered the city road, Annabelle started misbehaving. She cleared her throat, rolled her eyes, and said, "Kendrick, why are you driving so slowly? I'm going to be late." Kendrick glanced at her through the rearview mirror and ignored her, driving the way he wanted to. Annabelle saw that it was useless and started talking about the air conditioner again, saying it was too hot. Kendrick then lowered it. Then she said it was too cold, so Kendrick raised the air conditioner again. Until Annabelle bravely said, "Can you drive any slower?" Kendrick clicked his tongue, parked the car on the roadside parking strip, and turned on the hazard lights. "Why did you stop the car?" Annabelle wondered, did it work? Finally, had it pushed him to the breaking point, making him want to abandon her halfway? Very

Julissa wondered—could it be that Scott didn’t have a membership card and had used Heather’s instead?She temporarily stepped away from the front desk and sat in the lounge area, trying to figure out what to do next.Technically, she could just call Scott and ask him to bring her in.But she didn’t want to do that. She wanted to show up unannounced, catch them off guard, and completely disrupt their rhythm.And besides, if she were stopped outside and had to wait for Scott to come out and fetch her, it would feel like she had already lost to Heather in terms of presence and pride.So, that plan was a no-go.Should she just wait until they came out? But the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she felt.Why should she waste her time waiting around like this while they got to enjoy their date?Just as she was lost in frustration, a male voice called out to her.“Julissa?”Julissa closed her eyes. She didn’t even need to turn around—the voice alone was enough to know who it was.S

Julissa quickly grabbed Scott’s hand. “Don’t worry about it.”He curled his lips into a smile and obediently let go, then swept her up into his arms and carried her back to the bed…The next morning, Julissa sat up, rubbing her throbbing temples and aching body—only to find the bed empty.Sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains onto her body. She glanced at the clock on the nightstand. Eleven a.m.Crap! She was late!No, this wasn’t just being late—she’d completely skipped work!“Mr. Nichols?” she called toward the bedroom door. No response. Clearly, the big boss had already gone to the office.She reached for her phone by the pillow—then suddenly remembered she’d used it to record video last night. Scott had gone to take a shower, and she’d been so exhausted she’d fallen asleep without even thinking about it.The phone had to still be on the windowsill.Barefoot, she got out of bed and pulled back the curtain. Sure enough, the phone was still there, screen down and nearly burnin

After dinner, they cleaned up the kitchen together. Then Scott went to take a shower, while Julissa headed to the bedroom.She placed her phone on the windowsill, hidden behind the curtain. Only a sheer layer covered it—just enough to keep things from being too explicit. As long as his voice was clearly captured, a blurry image would actually be even better.After all, the last thing she wanted was for every man at his future wedding to see her naked on the big screen.Yes—she was going to record her night with Mr. Nichols.Just like those classic evil ex-girlfriends in dramas, she planned to send the footage straight to his future wife. And better yet—broadcast it at their wedding.Sure, this move was one of those you hurt me, I’ll destroy us both kind of deals.But whatever. She, Julissa, was just a nobody, a little shrimp in the vast sea of high society. Once she left this circle, she could go back to her own little life.Even if she couldn't return to a peaceful life, she would do
I wish it were you Chapter 1047 Definitely Hiding Something
Julissa was startled by his sudden move. She quickly turned around and smiled at Scott. “Maybe my period is coming. I’m just feeling a little low.”He paused for a second, as if just realizing what she meant by “period,” then gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.“You girls get emotional because of that?”Julissa forced a small smile. “Of course. We get moody, feel down for no reason, and crave all kinds of heavy flavors.”Scott raised an eyebrow. “Oh? So what’s Julissa craving today?”Julissa immediately sensed where this was going and shot him a glare. “Definitely not what you’re thinking.”“What am I thinking?” Scott’s gaze lingered on her lips, a mischievous smile spreading across his face.Truth be told, Julissa wasn’t in the mood to flirt, so she backed away slightly. “Mr. Nichols, behave yourself…”He didn’t answer. Instead, he leaned in and kissed her.Julissa wanted to push him away, but her hands were covered in marinade and seasoning from preparing the fish.
I wish it were you Chapter 1046 Marriage Without Freedom
That one sentence struck deep.Instinctively, Julissa glanced at the ring on her left middle finger, thinking of what Scott had said to her.That night, when he gave her the ring, he had told her it wasn’t an engagement ring—just something to wear for now, and that when the time came for a proposal, he would give her something even better.She believed his words.So even though what Mrs. Nichols just said shocked her, and even brought a momentary pang to her chest, she didn’t believe it.“How do you know he won’t marry me?”Honestly, Julissa even wanted to ask, How do you know I’d definitely agree to marry him? A girl’s got her pride too.But now wasn’t the time to nitpick. She just wanted to know where Mrs. Nichols got the confidence to say so definitively that Scott wouldn’t marry her.Mrs. Nichols didn’t seem like the type to lie, and that only made Julissa more determined to find out the truth.“Then I’ll be blunt,” Mrs. Nichols said. “Tomorrow at 7 p.m., he’s going to meet Miss H
I wish it were you Chapter 1045 Facing It Calmly
Walking beside Mrs. Nichols was another senior executive from the Nichols Group, one of the company’s veterans. The two of them were chatting and laughing, clearly in good spirits.Why is Mrs. Nichols still here? Has she been at the company the whole day?But then again, she was the former president’s wife. It was only natural for her to be on familiar terms with the old guard.Julissa quickly lowered her head, pretending she hadn’t seen anything, hoping Mrs. Nichols hadn’t noticed her either.She scrolled aimlessly through her phone, clearly distracted. She knew she should go up and greet her, but kept telling herself there was no point in exchanging a few perfunctory words. Better to stay in ostrich mode.More importantly, she was feeling guilty—her first impression with her future mother-in-law had been far from ideal. Or maybe it was just that Mrs. Nichols had such an overwhelming presence that Julissa dreaded facing her alone.She couldn’t help but wonder again—what kind of man m
I wish it were you Chapter 1044 Mr. Nichols Is Just Too Wicked
Julissa truly felt like she could never win against this man. Talking to him was like navigating a minefield—one careless step, and she’d fall right into his trap.But it was still working hours, after all. Julissa thought his sudden surge of interest was way too unexpected, leaving her flustered and completely unprepared.“Mr. Nichols, what do you take me for?” she asked, breathless.“What do I take you for?”As each button was slowly undone, Julissa felt like her face was about to combust.“I’m not the kind of woman who’d… who’d just let herself get harassed for a bonus!”“Then just pretend you’re harassing me,” Scott said casually.Julissa blinked. That’s allowed?But actually, if she flipped the roles in her mind—if she imagined herself as the one taking advantage of him—somehow, it felt a bit more tolerable.Scott’s hands didn’t stop moving. They were already at her waist. “Besides,” he murmured, “you went back on your word. There’s got to be a price for that.”Julissa was hot an

Kendrick resumed his earlier position, leaning against the headboard. “The Nichols family still has some unresolved issues—they’re definitely in no place to plan a wedding right now.”“I see…” Annabelle nodded thoughtfully. “But Julissa’s dad also said they had to be together for at least a year before they could get married, just to prevent them from being impulsive.”Kendrick didn’t respond further. He got out of bed and walked around to Annabelle’s side, scooping her up in his arms.“What are you doing now?” Annabelle asked in alarm.Kendrick chuckled helplessly. “Time to wash up, remember? You said your legs were too weak to walk.”…The Next Morning, Times GroupWhen Julissa went to the staff lounge to get water, she overheard her colleagues excitedly chatting about their quarterly bonuses.When they saw her, they couldn't help gossiping. They said that Miss Hickman had been working overtime again and had even completed another project, so her bonus would surely be substantial.J

That morning, after Agatha left the the Whitney Group, she died in a car accident that afternoon.The killer wasn’t Dereon, and it certainly wasn’t Ryan. Since he had promised to let her go, he wasn’t someone who would go back on his word.But Ryan knew exactly who did it—because right after Agatha’s death, he received a phone call.On the other end, the man said coldly, “Little Ryan, this is how you deal with traitors.”Ryan understood—this was a warning. A warning that if he dared to betray them, dared to spare Kendrick again, then whether it was Ryan himself, Anna, or anyone close to him, they’d all end up like Agatha.At this point, it was no longer a matter of wanting to kill Kendrick or not—it was something he had to do.Otherwise, the one who would die… would be him.Ryan downed his drink in one gulp.Dereon continued, “Young Master, I’m grateful you didn’t punish me and only assigned me overseas. But I still don’t think I did anything wrong. And that Sid—how could he possibly
