I wish it were you Chapter 136 Causing a Sensation in the Whole School
Marvin's face looked very unpleasant at this moment, and of course, he didn't want to go overseas to become an executive vice president.But now, does he still have room to refuse?This was Kendrick deliberately playing a trick on him, but he was not strong enough to do anything except silently swallow his anger."I had no objection.""Alright, from now on, you two brothers should think in the same direction and work together to strengthen our company, the Gregory Group..."After the father finished speaking, the two brothers walked out of the study.As soon as Marvin arrived in the corridor, he said to Kendrick, "Don't think that by sending me to the border, you will get Anna."Kendrick chuckled and said, "Firstly, even my father said it, this is a great opportunity, not some banishment to the border. Secondly, Annabelle and I are already married, you were already out of the game long ago."Marvin clenched his fist in anger, and his jaw muscles stood out prominently due to his fury.

There were over a dozen versions of speculations about Annabelle's identity.One good thing was that after the helicopter incident, no one dared to bully her.However, those are all other people's opinions. Annabelle doesn't care either way and goes to school every day just as she always has.That day, Kendrick dropped her off at school. She was about to get off the car, but Kendrick held her back."Do I need to help you control those public opinions?"Kendrick didn't want to interfere with her school matters, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for her and wanted to lend her a hand.Annabelle was taken aback after hearing this. She realized that Kendrick knew about her affairs at school."Thank you, I don't need it.""Are you sure?"Annabelle said lightly, "With a mouth as eloquent as yours, how can you possibly silence it?"Rumors end with the wise, and she who is pure clears herself, without needing to argue with those petty people.Not everyone was criticizing her, and there were

This boy was a second-generation rich, named Gerald Byrd. He used to enjoy playing pranks on others and relied on his family's influence. Sometimes, he even dared to make jokes about the teachers. Annabelle had long disliked him.Just now, he played a prank on the chubby girl and immediately took out his phone to record it. Without a doubt, he was planning to upload that video online."Woman, I advise you to mind your own business," Gerald said with a wicked smile, sitting back in his chair with his legs crossed. The chair's two legs were off the ground, swaying back and forth, displaying an air of arrogance."I said it again, delete the video."The boy chuckled lightly and said, "I won't delete it. What can you do to me?"As soon as he finished speaking, Annabelle had already taken two steps towards him. She forcefully pulled the back of his chair, causing the boy to instantly lose his balance and fall backwards onto the ground, letting out a painful cry.Everyone held their breath,

After class, Annabelle packed up her things and prepared to go home.The fat girl stopped her in the corridor."Clothes, I will go back and wash them clean for you."Annabelle glanced at the jacket still tied around the girl's waist and said, "Hmm, no rush.""Thank you just now."Annabelle shook her head, indicating not to worry.Annabelle was introverted and not used to talking to unfamiliar people, so after exchanging a few pleasantries with the chubby girl, she wanted to leave.The girl suddenly asked, "Do you pity me?"Annabelle frowned, "I just feel that if I let him bully you, I might become his target in the future."The girl's eyes turned red, and her face was filled with sadness and anger."It's because someone was protecting you that you were fearless and able to say such things."Annabelle smiled helplessly. The girl said someone was protecting her, probably because she thought Annabelle knew someone like Marvin, a young master.But she dared to knock over the chair of the

Kamila's summary of the three people instantly amused Annabelle.If Kendrick knew that others called him "Audi long legs," I wonder how dark his face would become?"Don't laugh, answer me quickly, I won't tell anyone."Annabelle thought for a moment and said, "None of them.""Have you not decided who to choose yet?"Annabelle smiled and asked, "Do you want to give me some advice?"Kamila pondered for a moment and said, "The helicopter is too flashy, and I feel like you wouldn't like it. Fabian is on a whole different level, and it's difficult for us to handle. I think this tall guy is better, even though he only drives an A6 and is definitely not as wealthy as Fabian with his helicopter. But he has good looks and a great physique."Annabelle listened to Kamila's words and glanced at Kendrick in the distance, feeling a strong urge to laugh.This Elfhedge, the most precious Mr. Gregory, in the mouth of the unsuspecting Kamila, unexpectedly turned into an economical man, only relying on

Annabelle's body was pressed tightly against the back of the chair, biting her lip.Regret.What were you blabbering about just now, talking about brothers and sisters!How can I say such cheesy things out loud?However, Kendrick approached a little closer, which scared Annabelle so much that she had to grit her teeth and admit defeat."Good brother... Good brother! Are you done?"At this moment, she felt both embarrassed and annoyed. Her small face, the size of a palm, turned pink, and her eyes shimmered with watery light, making her look even more pitiful.Kendrick's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but kiss her lips.Annabelle quickly reacted as soon as she realized his motive, she turned her head and, in the end, Kendrick's kiss landed on her cheek.Kendrick chuckled and whispered in her ear ambiguously, "Good girl."Annabelle blushed and avoided looking at him, wishing she could become invisible."B

After Annabelle finished giving her statement, she was taken to a temporary holding room.She opened her big eyes and quietly looked at the silent surroundings, fear gradually spreading from the bottom of her heart...The small window and bare walls made Annabelle feel increasingly oppressed in the past. Time seemed to stretch infinitely, and many painful memories resurfaced.She seemed to be back to when she was eight years old, back when she was still at the Sanchez's place. It was because she had broken her mother's beloved plate, and her mother locked her in a small dark room for a full two days and nights, until her younger brother Raphael quietly let her out.She also remembered the cold winter when she first arrived at Springvale Temple, with the mountains covered in heavy snow. Her face was wrapped in bandages as she lay on a stiff wooden bed, forgotten by everyone, until the young master appeared.Those past moments came back to Annabelle'

The police politely escorted Kendrick and Annabelle to the gate, and Annabelle's face had turned red all the way to her neck."Put me down quickly, my leg isn't injured..." she grumbled as she slapped Kendrick's chest.Kendrick then put her down, thinking to himself, "What a little white-eyed wolf you are. Just a moment ago, you were so scared that your face turned pale. I thought you couldn't walk because your legs were weak, so I held you. And you still hit me."Annabelle remembered what had happened at the police station and asked, "By the way, was it you who asked the police to be a little nicer to me?"Although she was scared just now, she also knew that it was her own psychological factor. Because in the previous two hours, no one had troubled her, and that so-called detention room seemed to be just a duty room."No." Kendrick's face looked a bit unpleasant. "It was a classmate of yours who asked someone to take care of you. And he is a Murph

No one knew how long had passed before peace finally returned to the bedroom.Sunlight slipped through the curtains, casting soft rays across their bed.A thin blanket was draped over Annabelle, her bare shoulders and arms exposed.She had just woken up, already drained of energy, and now her entire body felt sore and weak—as if all strength had left her.Passion could make one forget their troubles for a moment, but once it faded, all those nagging worries returned, one by one.She lay quietly beneath the faint sunlight, watching the play of light and shadow on the bed, lost in thought.“Still upset about breaking the clay doll yesterday?” Kendrick murmured against her shoulder, planting a soft kiss there.Annabelle gave a slight nod, then shook her head.The doll, with its auspicious meaning, had been shattered—it felt unlucky. But more importantly, the incident made her realize something:She and Kendrick had been together for so long, yet they still didn’t have a child.“Why haven
I wish it were you Chapter 1039 Uncle? Sister?
Annabelle shook her head at the little boy. She could tell he hadn’t done it on purpose, so of course she didn’t blame him.At that moment, the boy’s mother arrived. She scolded her son for misbehaving—how could he run off like that before he’d even learned to stop properly?Then she turned to Annabelle and Kendrick, thanking them and apologizing for the broken item. She asked how much the figurines had cost so she could compensate them.Annabelle didn’t want to fuss over it. “It’s fine,” she said. But the woman insisted—her child had broken someone else’s things and she had to pay for it.The clay dolls weren’t cheap. Kendrick glanced at the mother and son, then casually quoted a price: “One hundred fifty.”The woman immediately transferred the money and even pressed her son’s head down, making him apologize.The boy then said again, “Sorry, uncle… sorry, sister…”The corner of Kendrick’s mouth twitched, and he replied coolly, “It’s okay.”Afterward, Annabelle and Kendrick crossed th
I wish it were you Chapter 1038 Wifey's Shy Face
Annabelle suddenly realized that all those rapidly increasing follower counts on her social media—each number represented a real person. And the red bean cake vendor standing in front of her was clearly one of them. This unexpected kindness from a stranger warmed her heart, though it also made her feel a bit embarrassed. No matter what, she decided to pay for the cakes. But no matter what she said, the vendor firmly refused to take her money. There was a line of customers behind her, so she didn't want to keep holding up the queue. Instead, she quickly scanned the QR code, estimated a fair price, and transferred the money to the vendor before leaving with peace of mind. Yet before she’d walked a few steps, the young vendor chased after her, insistently stuffing two extra portions of red bean cakes into her hands. His face was even redder than before. He wanted to look at her, but didn’t dare, scratching his head as he said shyly, “I said I’d give my goddess a freebie, and I me
I wish it were you Chapter 1037 Losing Face
Linda paused. Marvin couldn’t help asking, “And then?”She snapped back to the present and continued, as if telling someone else’s story.“Luckily, my brother came back. He was a sophomore in college and had just returned home for summer break. He saw that bastard trying to hurt me, grabbed a kitchen knife, and slashed his neck. Blood sprayed all over my face.“He kept hacking at him until the guy couldn’t move anymore. Then he held me and said, ‘Linda, it’s okay now. He’ll never hurt you again.’“After that, my brother was sentenced to death. I was sixteen.“The day he was executed, my grandfather had a stroke and didn’t survive. After the funeral, my stepmother asked for a divorce, and my dad agreed.“The night before their divorce, my dad opened the gas valve. He and my stepmother died of carbon monoxide poisoning.“I spent a month in the hospital but survived. After that… I was on my own. I didn’t really ‘struggle’ in society—I just drifted. Took life one day at a time.“This job

“No way!” Marvin spat out, his voice tight with disbelief. “Anna just finished a jewelry event last night—there’s no way she could be in North City!”“Maybe she flew over after the event?” the reporter offered weakly, desperation creeping into his tone. “Mr. Gregory, if your brother finds out I tried to dig into this… you’ve got to protect me.”“Enough already. I get it.” Marvin snapped, the edge of impatience slicing through his words.“Alright, alright. No time to chat—gotta push the story out before someone else scoops it.” The reporter hung up in a hurry.But he was already too late.Another outlet had already dropped part of the exclusive interview, cleverly holding back the juiciest bits to keep viewers hooked. Within twenty minutes, the full conversation with Kendrick and Annabelle was everywhere.In a private hospital room in Elfhedge, Marvin stared at the news reports, fury radiating off him like heat from asphalt. His phone met the floor with a sickening crack, screen shatte
I wish it were you Chapter 1035 Because She Has a Slim Waist
Annabelle had long known that the reporters were fixated on this topic and would eventually bring it up again.Even though they were blocked from interviewing her at yesterday’s press conference, here they were today.She was just thankful that she wasn’t facing them alone.As for the real reason behind her and Kendrick’s flash marriage, it was simply because she didn’t want to marry a perverted old man, and Kendrick had agreed to marry her because she claimed she could help treat his headaches.Neither of those reasons could be made public. Otherwise, people would assume Kendrick was just a backup plan, and the fact that she knew medicine would be completely exposed.Kendrick might not mind being teased, but if people found out she had medical skills, things would get very complicated.Just imagining it—every time one of Kendrick’s friends or business associates (especially the ones she didn’t like) met her, they'd stick out their wrist without a word and ask for a diagnosis. That wo
I wish it were you Chapter 1034 A Bit Under-Dressed
After ending the call with Kendrick, Annabelle felt much better.Regardless of how her parents acted, her future was her own. With Kendrick by her side, always considering her needs, she already felt content with her life.Still feeling drowsy, she lay on the bed for a while and ended up falling back asleep. When she finally woke again, it was hunger that roused her.She planned to get up and find something to eat.Looking around, she couldn’t see where her clothes had gone. A white T-shirt, clearly Kendrick’s, was draped over the sofa beside the bed.She got out of bed barefoot and slipped the oversized T-shirt over her head.Kendrick was tall, so the shirt was long enough to cover her hips. Loose and casual.She walked to the dining area and spotted the lunch Kendrick mentioned. She was about to warm it up in the microwave when she suddenly heard commotion outside the door—lots of voices.She vaguely made out someone calling, “Mr. Gregory…”Was he back? She didn’t dare open the door
I wish it were you Chapter 1033 Who Told You to Do It?
Annabelle's personal social media account was gaining followers at an explosive rate—so fast it could give someone high blood pressure.For her, this kind of media exposure was obviously a great thing.You could say that Alice had practically sacrificed herself to boost Annabelle’s popularity.Not only did the incident showcase Anna’s personal capabilities, but it also unintentionally promoted Murphy Jewelry—an unexpected wave of free publicity.Under this trending topic, netizens began checking out the pieces shown at Murphy Jewelry’s latest press conference.Many even tagged her: “Supporting Anna! Already bought it!”Similar comments were flooding in.Out of curiosity, Annabelle checked the e-commerce platform authorized by Murphy Jewelry.To her surprise, 80% of the newly released items from the previous night were already sold out.No wonder that last time, when she was being slammed online, Kendrick didn’t suppress the news but instead flipped the narrative and gained popularity
I wish it were you Chapter 1032 Am I That Scary?
Actually, Kendrick had already grown suspicious when breakfast was delivered.The strange eye contact between the two servers caught his attention, especially the male server who looked somewhat familiar.Previously, when Kendrick was negotiating business with an important partner at a hotel in Elfhedge, Ryan launched a surprise attack. That was also when Anna took a tranquilizer dart for him.During that confrontation, Kendrick vaguely remembered a face just like this—handsome, with thick brows and big eyes. He looked honest and trustworthy, which was exactly the kind of appearance that lowered one’s guard.But Kendrick couldn’t be sure if it was the same person.The call he made to Jaime was to have him investigate the people who had just delivered the food.If it was the same person, then Ryan was making another move against him.As for whether the breakfast was actually poisoned, Kendrick had only suspected it at the time—he wasn’t certain.He also thought, if Ryan really wanted t
