Chapter 157 There Will Never Be Another Annabelle in the World
Last Updated:
2025-01-11 18:01:17Annabelle was suddenly stunned, realizing that when Tanner praised her earlier, his wife also gave him a glare.
"Is it true or not... Maybe I should go back..."
Kendrick was really scared when he saw her, but he smiled and said, "Don't worry, he wouldn't dare."
Or rather, no one here dared to easily mess with Kendrick's woman.
And Tanner, no matter how misbehaved he was, never stooped to such a level of depravity.
"I was afraid that you would consider everyone as a good person."
Annabelle wiped her sweat and said that she would just avoid this uncle in the future.
She reacted again, furrowing her brow and asking, "Kendrick, do I seem foolish in your eyes?"
Kendrick smiled slightly and did not deny it.
She was just a little rabbit who seemed a bit sharp, but in the end, she was still a rabbit.
At this moment, the two of them arrived at the banquet hall, and Annabelle had no choice but to stop chatting with him.

On Annabelle's side, she was still unaware that she had already been in danger.She had just walked out of the villa with Kendrick and arrived at the edge of the fountain pool.As the night breeze blew, weariness dissipated. She looked towards the pond, where the clear water blurred the reflection of the two people.Looking at the two of them standing together, I remembered three months ago when they were still strangers. Now, they have come to a foreign country together and are enjoying their trip, feeling even more amazed.Remembering the absurd behavior at the engagement banquet, Annabelle couldn't help but ask, "By the way, why did you want to marry me back then?"Back then, Kendrick had no feelings for her, so Annabelle was always curious about why he agreed to marry her.Kendrick fell silent for a moment and then smiled, "Curious about you."At that time, Annabelle guessed about his poisoning injury, and Kendrick was worried tha

However, when Annabelle walked over and anxiously grabbed the person's arm, they turned around to reveal a completely unfamiliar face."Miss, is there something you need?" The man stared into a pair of slender eyes, his gaze carrying a hint of ambiguity, as if he thought Annabelle was trying to strike up a conversation with him.Although this person was also Asian, it was evident that he was not a young master."Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."Annabelle turned around in disappointment, but as she glanced back, she saw Kendrick standing behind her, his deep eyes fixed on her face."Who were you looking for?""Just one friend, misunderstood."Annabelle lowered her gaze and looked at the shimmering pool of water. Was it the wishing pool granting her wish, or had she been thinking about the young master too much lately, causing her to have hallucinations?I couldn't understand it anymore.The sight of her being distr

Lisa knew that Tanner was lecherous. When he agreed to help her keep Kendrick and drugged Kendrick, he was already lusting after her body.So she was mentally prepared and had already planned it out. Now she would first get rid of Tanner and once she ensured that her person successfully took Annabelle away, she would just withdraw. After all, Tanner was afraid of his wife and wouldn't dare to openly do anything to her.However, this was ultimately her ideal plan..."Do you think I can't see through your thoughts?" Tanner sneered, a glint of cunning in his dirty brown pupils. "If I let you go now, you won't come back again."Lisa gritted her teeth secretly, this old thing was quite difficult to deal with."How could it be! With such a large estate, all of it is your territory. How could I possibly escape?"Tanner hummed and grabbed Lisa's chin. From his increasingly rapid breaths, Lisa knew that this man had lost his patience."Ms. Abb

Annabelle hesitated for a moment, was she really that obvious?Looking into the reflective glass, Annabelle felt her heart inexplicably flutter at the bottomless depths of Kendrick's eyes.Whenever he looked at her with that kind of expression, trouble was bound to follow.Annabelle turned around busily and broke free from his embrace."I washed first."After saying that, Annabelle escaped like a fugitive and darted into the bathroom.When Annabelle came out of the bathroom, after changing into the silk nightgown prepared by the maid in advance, she realized that Kendrick had already fallen asleep, and there was a strange fragrance filling the room.Annabelle understood medicine and was also familiar with the smells and effects of various herbs.This scent resembled a kind of hallucinogenic spice, made by blending several herbs together. When burned, it emitted a unique fragrance that could calm the mind in small amounts.

The criminal spoke in Griffinpond language, and Annabelle could barely understand some of it."Such a pretty girl, is it a waste to just leave her like this?""Idiot, keep an eye on your little brother. If anything goes wrong, it's both of us who will end up dead."The two people came to Annabelle's front while talking.At this point, her heart had already sunk almost to the bottom. If the kidnapping was for ransom, there might still be room for negotiation. However, through their conversation, she had already understood that they were not after money, but her life.My fate today was death.Before she died, she might even have faced humiliation.The only thing that gave Annabelle a glimmer of hope was that they were at sea at that moment. As long as she could jump off the ship, there was a chance of survival. The thing she feared the most in her life was fire, but her closest companion was water.But in the current situation, h

Annabelle looked at Kendrick in despair. Kendrick, being backlit, had eyes that appeared pitch black. Annabelle couldn't make out the expression on his face, but she could sense a murderous intent emanating from his silence.Actually, I really wanted to say thank you to him. Thank him for helping her at the engagement banquet several months ago.She also thanked him for working so hard for her tonight.But because her mouth was stuck with adhesive tape, she couldn't even say a word of goodbye, only tears welled up.At that moment, the sound of a speedboat engine could be heard in the distance.Kendrick said coldly, "My men will soon surround this ship. If you release her now, I can give you a way out.""Shut up! Get out! Go to the deck!" The scarred man instantly became tense, gasping urgently, "Otherwise, I'll kill her right here!"Annabelle speculated that the criminal might have known that he couldn't escape, so he decided to take

Kendrick was shot!When Annabelle realized this fact, a wave of intense pain surged from the depths of her heart.But she didn't have time to be sad.At this moment, her rope had already been cut. Annabelle first tore off the tape from her mouth and tightly held Kendrick's hand, trying to help him float up.Kendrick, however, hooked her neck and kissed her.This kiss had no lingering meaning, but rather felt like a silent farewell.It was pitch black underwater, but she could feel that Kendrick was about to let go.No!Don't let go!Annabelle couldn't make a sound and could only tightly grip his arm, but Kendrick pushed her away and sank towards the even darker depths of the sea...Almost without hesitation, Annabelle quickly swam towards the direction Kendrick was sinking.She was well aware that the chances of saving Kendrick with her own strength were very slim.Because even though she could hold

Although Kendrick always acted like a rascal and sometimes his bossiness annoyed her, Annabelle never wanted to see him get hurt.Is it really true, as my mother said, that she is a jinx and anyone who gets close to her will have bad luck?Annabelle thought more and more, and finally burst into tears."Don't cry... I'm not dead yet..." came the hoarse voice of a man, followed by a violent cough.Annabelle instantly woke up and looked at Kendrick, who was lying on the driftwood."Kendrick, you scared me to death just now!" she said, as more tears welled up.He forced out an ugly smile and wiped away her tears."How could I bear to let you become a young widow?"At this point, I was still in the mood to joke with her. Was it really not that serious, or was I just trying to comfort her?"I didn't want to, you just pushed me away!"Annabelle couldn't help but feel scared when she thought about the decision she had mad

The lighting in the home theater was dim. The plush double leather recliner could be laid flat to form a small double bed. But it wasn’t an actual bed—any movement on it caused it to creak.Annabelle didn’t dare to move much, but Kendrick was unbothered. Holding her by the waist and brushing his lips against hers, he chuckled lowly, “What are you afraid of? It won’t collapse.”She looked at him, the corners of her eyes still wet from tears shed during the movie. She was actually quite tired today. She also remembered explaining just last night that during their efforts to conceive, they shouldn’t be too frequent. But knowing he’d be leaving that night, she couldn’t help but hold him tightly—and soon stopped thinking about anything else.Afterward, Annabelle lay in Kendrick’s arms, a thin blanket draped over her.They lay in silence for a while before Kendrick gently stroked her arm and asked, “Feeling better now?”Annabelle smiled softly but then became suspicious. She half-sat up and

Annabelle nodded glumly. “Then at least message me when you land tomorrow.”“I will,” Kendrick said, patting her thigh gently. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep reporting in to my wife.”Annabelle quickly pushed his hand away. “Keep your hands on the wheel.”Kendrick withdrew his hand but gave her a long, affectionate look, a small smile playing on his lips.That night, after returning home, Annabelle stuck to the plan and made beef noodles.The beef had already been braised by Uncle Trey. All she had to do was boil enough noodles for two and pour the meat and broth on top.Even someone not too skilled in the kitchen like her could pull that off.Once the food was ready, Annabelle didn’t have much of an appetite. She only ate a few strands of noodles and sipped a bit of soup.Kendrick’s bowl, on the other hand, was much more lavish—noodles topped with generous slices of beef, two stalks of greens, and a fried egg she’d made just for him.Looking at the hearty meal before him, Kendrick grinned.

“You guys actually fought before?” Annabelle asked in surprise.Kendrick chuckled. “I was the one who beat him up.”He went on to explain that Sean was Uncle Trey’s little nephew. When Sean was in elementary school, no one looked after him during summer breaks, so Uncle Trey would bring him to the Gregory residence to stay for a couple of months. Back then, Sean was like a stubborn little ox. If Uncle Trey said one thing, he’d argue right back. One time, Kendrick happened to overhear and gave him a good beating. After that, he became much more obedient.Later, when Sean started middle school, he stopped coming around. Years passed, and Kendrick only heard from Uncle Trey in passing that Sean had opened a gym.Come to think of it, it had been over a decade since he’d seen the guy—no wonder he didn’t recognize him at first.Hearing all this, Annabelle couldn’t help but marvel at how small the world was, and how fate worked in strange ways. At the same time, she felt a sense of relief.S

Just thinking about her photo being stored on that man’s phone made Annabelle feel extremely uncomfortable.Especially when he said he’d “treasure” her photo with that flirty, ambiguous expression—it made her deeply irritated.God knows what he plans to do with that picture. She didn’t even want to imagine it.“Delete my photo. Now.”“Alright, alright, I’ll delete it when I get back,” Sean dodged casually. “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. Go on and wait for your husband. I’m heading out.”He turned as if to walk into the rain, but suddenly paused and looked back at her.“Oh right—earlier this afternoon, I overheard a young model downstairs on the phone. She said something like, ‘I don’t want to go too far. After all, I have no grudge against Annabelle.’”Annabelle frowned. “Which model?”“Think her name was Dale.” Sean paused. “I don’t really know what she meant, but it didn’t sound good. Don’t you have that runway show tomorrow? Just be careful.”With that, he waved and jogged off i

“I didn’t!” Annabelle responded immediately.“Then why do you look like you just did something bad?”Annabelle didn’t expect him to see through her that easily. With no other choice, she confessed everything.“Really, it’s nothing. I just ran into the Young Master earlier, and he helped me out with something. I was afraid you’d be upset if I told you.”But she *definitely* didn’t do anything to betray him. Besides, she felt completely open and honest when facing the Young Master—nothing to feel guilty about.Kendrick’s gaze darkened slightly. “What did he help you with?”Annabelle sighed. Since she’d started explaining, she decided to tell him everything.“Some people were talking behind my back, and I overheard it. I wanted to confront them, but just then the Young Master showed up and stepped in for me.”Kendrick stared straight ahead, silent for a couple of seconds before asking, “How did he ‘step in’?”“He pretended to be my lawyer...”Annabelle recounted what happened, then cauti

Ryan lowered his hand, slid it into his pocket, and the smile at the corner of his lips gradually faded. He said calmly:"In the future, if you ever run into a situation like that again, be more careful. The corridor earlier had barely anyone around and was in a camera blind spot. If those girls really wanted to gang up on you, how could you handle the three of them alone?"Anna gave an awkward smile. "I was just too angry and acted impulsively. I didn’t think it through. Thank you for helping me earlier."Ryan gave a slight smile. "No need to thank me. We... are friends, after all."Anna nodded earnestly, then suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Young Master, I saw an old photo in a magazine just now. It was of a little kid, probably five or six years old, and he looked a lot like you."Ryan’s brows furrowed slightly. His fingers clenched tightly in his pocket, but he quickly forced a smile. "Really? Which magazine was it?""It was a finance magazine, right there on
I wish it were you Chapter 1004 Enough Is Enough
The article described Ryan, the president of the the Whitney Group, known as "Mr. Whitney"—the latest heir of the Whitney family. Due to poor health in his youth, he was once sent abroad by his uncle to recover in a sanatorium.No one expected this seemingly forgotten heir to return with massive capital and directly replace his uncle as the new president of the the Whitney Group.To this day, this capable young president has never appeared in the public eye, nor has his appearance been revealed. Some say he’s ugly, others say he’s handsome. The mystery surrounding him only fuels more curiosity.Recently, someone obtained a childhood photo of him from his uncles. Judging by that photo, Mr. Whitney was likely a good-looking child.Annabelle stared blankly at the photo after reading the description. The boy in the picture looked about five or six years old. Though he wore a smile, his eyes were melancholic, and his expression was restrained—the kind of smile that felt heavy.What shocked

After Jaime left, Kendrick picked up his phone and left a comment under the most trending post:“I actually wish you wouldn’t try so hard. Rely on me a little more, and maybe you wouldn’t fall so many times. ”He tagged Anna’s account.This was his genuine reaction after watching the video compilations.The moment he posted it, it instantly became a hot topic.Although Kendrick rarely used his social media—mostly posting formal content about events or appearances—he was still a massive influencer with a huge following.His comment quickly gained thousands of likes and drew tons of replies from fans and netizens.“In a lover’s eyes, there’s no embarrassment, only heartache.”“She’s working so hard. Shame on the brainless haters!”“So what if she’s pretty and married to a rich, handsome guy? Not jealous at all!

Annabelle turned back. "What is it?"Kendrick looked into her eyes. "Anna, you don’t need to be afraid of anything."Just that one simple sentence filled Annabelle’s heart with a warmth only he could bring.So, he had understood all those hidden feelings she hadn’t even voiced.She withdrew her hand from the door handle and bit her lip. "Sometimes I wonder… taking on such a major brand endorsement—am I overestimating myself?""Why would you think that?"Anna’s gaze drifted past the car window, through the hotel lobby’s glass facade, and onto the people inside."Look at them. All the girls sitting in there are exceptional. They’ve worked incredibly hard to get a spot at Lin’s press conference. And me… I’ve only had a little over a month of crash training..."Kendrick sighed, gently brushing his hand over her cheek. He told her those girls were excellent models. After all, only the best in the industry get to walk in a Murphy Jewelry show.But that didn’t mean they were fit to be the br
