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

    She silently retreated from the door, listening intently. Amanda went on to describe how Nelson had confessed his feelings to Anna and how Anna had responded. She shared everything with the “Mr. Gregory.”And in that moment, everything clicked into place for Anna.She realized that the clinic was actually Kendrick’s, and that Amanda was his trusted agent—her personal bodyguard, if you will. She had never met the so-called director because it was all part of Kendrick’s arrangement.At first, Anna felt a little silly for not realizing sooner, but strangely, she didn’t feel angry at all. Instead, she felt a warmth in her heart.Kendrick had created this clinic to support her desire to be a doctor in a low-key way. Though he had secretly monitored her to protect her from male patients, he respected her choice to work. In a way, it wasn’t so much a lie as it was a kind gesture.She couldn’t help but laugh. It was a lot of effort for him to keep it all a

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1723 A Kind Lie

    While working as a doctor, Anna always wore a mask. It not only prevented her from being recognized by familiar faces but also spared her from unnecessary trouble. After all, Kendrick had once told her that she had a face that could make people think improper thoughts.Whether it was the mask or something else, she hadn't been disturbed by anyone lately. Even the number of male patients seeking her treatment had decreased.However, Anna had never told Kendrick about her job at the clinic. If she told him outright, he might not object, but he would definitely be concerned about her. Anna didn’t want to increase his anxiety, especially since she had really enjoyed her work. Treating patients gave her a strong sense of accomplishment, making her feel that her value wasn’t just limited to being a housewife.So, she kept her job a secret and applied for the position at the clinic. That way, Kendrick wouldn't come over and cause a scene. This clinic was a

    Julissa naturally opened her mouth and took a bite. Her eyes lit up. “Wow, it’s really good!”“Finish it.” Scott handed her the chicken leg.So Julissa happily bit into the chicken leg that Scott had handed her. Feeling good, she couldn’t help but flatter her big boss, saying that it’s so nice when her husband comes home. She eats so much better, unlike when it’s just her and their daughter at home, when the food always lacks flavor.Scott smiled and wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth. “Now that you’re my assistant, we can go on business trips together in the future.”Julissa nodded eagerly, but then remembered that she was already a mother. She added, “But we can’t be away for too long. We should spend more time with our daughter.”“Of course.”So, Julissa stayed with Scott and finished lunch with him. Afterward, Scott didn’t rush t

    Julissa waved her hand. "Of course he's not here. I just said, he's on a business trip and hasn't come back. Otherwise, how would I dare to talk to you about this at home?"As she spoke, she brought over the grapes she had just washed, and the two chatted while eating.Julissa continued, "Now that our daughter is older, it's easier to manage. Both sets of grandparents fight to help look after her. All I have to do is practice my dancing, and when I have a performance, I just go for it. Life is so carefree, I really don't want another child anytime soon, and I don't want to go back to the company either."Anna knew that Scott was a man with a very strong sense of possession, so she asked, "Does your husband ever come to watch your performances? Doesn't he get jealous when you dance with male dancers?""Before, I always performed solo, and he knew that. But soon, I'll have a male co-dancer. lol...""That guy?""Yes, yes, Harvey!"At thi

    Although it wasn’t entirely clear what their daughter had said, there were many underlying implications in her words. Was she implying that Michelle didn’t carry the Channing surname? If not, whose child was she?Who exactly was Michelle talking to? Why was she so desperate to avoid meeting this person? What was she hiding?As Channing's mother thought about the changes Michelle had gone through before and after the burn, the doubts she had buried deep inside resurfaced once again. Was Michelle really their biological daughter?When Channing's mother expressed these concerns, Channing's father didn’t argue but only asked, "Are you sure she said all this?""Yes, I’m sure.""Why didn’t you tell me sooner?"Channing's mother explained that she had been trying to convince herself not to overthink things and didn’t want to upset Channing's father, fearing that he might get angry at her for suspecting their daug
