Chapter 170 There is No Such Foolish Spy
Last Updated:
2025-01-13 18:04:23Kendrick stared out of the porthole, recalling every detail from before.
Looking back on the past few days' itinerary, Annabelle did indeed display many abnormalities.
In the concert hall, she was absent-minded. When she arrived at Witchport Manor, she was even more restless and almost mistook someone.
No matter what, he needed to investigate these matters thoroughly.
After a moment of contemplation, Kendrick said to Jax, "Investigate the identities of the guests in the second-floor VIP room during the concert that night, and see if there were any suspicious individuals."
"Okay, I went to deploy immediately."
"Wait," Kendrick called out to Jax again, "investigate all of Annabelle's previous experiences before she came to the Gregory family, including everyone she had ever been in contact with."
"Yes. So, Tanner, how would you like to handle it?"
Kendrick considered for a moment, "You don't need to worry about this, I'll handle

When Kendrick entered the bedroom, Annabelle had already tucked herself back into the blanket, with only half of her head exposed, watching him approach the bed.He was wearing a camel-colored casual shirt, his complexion wasn't great, but he walked steadily, seemingly without any major physical issues, which made her slightly relieved."Your injury..." Annabelle hadn't finished speaking when Kendrick came to her bedside and gently kissed her lips.Okay, no need to ask, it seems like there was nothing wrong."Where are my clothes?""Wet, washed."Annabelle felt uncomfortable as Kendrick stared at her. She could feel his intense gaze burning two holes into her."Did you... undress me?""Come on, I've seen you without clothes before, why are you so afraid of me looking?" Kendrick teased her.Annabelle's face turned even redder as she puffed out her cheeks and tucked half of her face under the blanket, leaving only her two

After speaking, Kendrick's kiss landed on her neck.Annabelle didn't seem to be lying, and Kendrick no longer cared about the truth. Since she claimed not to know Ryan, he hoped she would never admit it and would always keep her distance from Ryan.Annabelle had no idea about Kendrick's thoughts. She was tense all over, feeling as if her throat was being bitten by a lion, and she even forgot to push him away.But suddenly she thought of something else, very important."Tanner was not a good person, it was him who helped Lisa kidnap me!" she pushed Kendrick's shoulder.Kendrick looked up and bent down to look at her, "Why do you say that?"Although he already knew that Tanner was involved, he was curious about how Annabelle found out.So, Annabelle used aromatherapy in the room to try to sedate both of them, as well as sharing her suspicions about Tanner letting Lisa go with Kendrick.As she analyzed meticulously and astutely no

Annabelle chuckled and thought to herself, "Isn't she naughty?"She was clearly an innocent little white rabbit, but she fell into Kendrick's trap and couldn't escape from the marriage. She was constantly harassed and taken advantage of by him.Now, Mr. Gregory shamelessly claimed that he wouldn't do anything to her."I wanted to get up, give me my clothes!"Kendrick saw her suddenly get angry, but he didn't argue with her. He turned and went into the wardrobe, and brought her a set of clothes, from underwear to pajamas.Blushing, Annabelle said coldly, "Just leave it there, you can go now."Kendrick pressed his tongue against his gums, was the rabbit's tone a bit too arrogant?Relying on his affection for her, she actually treated him as a servant."Shall I assist the lady in dressing?"His slightly mocking tone made Annabelle break out in a cold sweat. How could she forget? This person is both cunning and vengeful, and

Annabelle noticed that the bandage she had just tied was wet, and fresh blood had seeped through the gauze."Didn't you avoid the wound?"Quite a grown man, how can he still not handle such matters properly? Is it intentional?But considering the fact that he had risked his life to save her before, Annabelle decided not to argue with him.She sighed and approached Kendrick. Without looking away, she picked up a towel next to her and wrapped it around his waist, then rebandaged him.This operation was smooth and seamless, Kendrick didn't make any mistakes, yet he still felt a bit disappointed."Could you help me pour half of the hot water? I will sit in the bathtub and wash myself, so that the wound won't get wet."Annabelle was annoyed by his pestering and agreed.After emptying the water, Annabelle bent down to test the temperature and caught a glimpse of him undoing the towel.Annabelle closed her eyes and looked strai

Kendrick was already waiting for her outside the villa, standing by the car door, wearing a pair of dark gray sunglasses, and talking on the phone.Annabelle glanced at him and, to her surprise, the old fox looked quite stylish in his outfit.Then she looked at their clothes again, both wearing Polo shirts, with the same style and brand, one black and one white, surprisingly matching couple outfits.Is this his little trick? I didn't expect this grown man to be quite childish.At this moment, Kendrick finished his call and looked at the refreshing little girl in front of him. He felt happy and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her pretty ponytail."Get on the car."Annabelle furrowed her brows and tidied her hair.Although only her braid was touched, she suddenly felt her face getting hot for some reason.She patted her cheek, suppressing the discomfort in her heart, and got into his car.Silent all the way, the two

Annabelle noticed Ariana's uneasiness and asked, "What's wrong with Ariana? Not feeling well?""I was just scared," Ariana said, her eyes turning red. "I heard that my sister-in-law was unconscious for two days, it was really terrifying. Is she okay now?"Annabelle smiled and said, "It's not serious, I've just been feeling tired lately. I spent a long time swimming in the sea that day, so I was a bit exhausted."She realized that Kendrick didn't want to bring up the topic of Milan in front of their friends, so she also tried to downplay it as much as possible.Kendrick pulled her hand and held it in his palm."However, my dog Anna is really good in water. Thanks to her, I was able to escape that day. I owe Anna my life now."Annabelle pursed her lips and thought to herself, "You cunning fox, you should be grateful. I risked my life that day to pull you out of the sea level, and even in that situation, you took advantage of me. Just thinking

"Of course," Kendrick nodded.Ariana carefully untied the ribbon, opened the gift box, and inside were a pair of exquisite and unique emerald earrings, clearly crafted by a master.In Ariana's eyes, when a man gives a woman jewelry, it also implies a lot of ambiguity, especially when it is done in front of Annabelle. This made her secretly proud."Do you like it?" Kendrick asked.Ariana was about to say that she liked it, but she heard Kendrick say, "Annabelle helped you pick it."Did Ariana choke on something that Annabelle picked?Originally, this was not Ken's intention, it was just a formality...When Ariana looked at the emerald in the box again, she felt that the faint green light was exceptionally dazzling."Like, very pretty," she snapped the box shut and looked at Annabelle, "Thank you, sister-in-law."Annabelle took a sip of tea and smiled faintly, "You're welcome."At this moment, the club manager appro

Ariana chatted with Seamus and Scott while keeping an eye on Annabelle and Kendrick. Although she always had a smile on her face, only she knew that her mouth was stiff.She remembered when she used to learn how to play golf, she also wanted Kendrick to teach her.Kendrick, however, directly hired a professional player as her coach. He taught her well, but what she wanted was just to be held in his arms and taught hand in hand like this!Afterwards, Kendrick took Annabelle to play two strokes and said, "Why don't you give it a try?""Okay."Everyone has a competitive spirit, including Annabelle, who, despite lacking natural athletic talent, is determined to independently excel in this sport.So the little rabbit seized the opportunity and took two swings while the iron was hot, and the result was...None of them won.Annabelle pouted and looked at Kendrick, who was laughing beside her."The first time playing ball, it's

Agatha’s face turned deathly pale. “Dereon, I didn’t!”Sid let out a cold snort. “At first, when we didn’t see Annabelle, you tried to seduce Kendrick directly. You wanted to sleep with him, then turn around and cling to him as his mistress, living a worry-free life, didn’t you?”Agatha shook her head in panic, glancing between Sid and Dereon. “No, I didn’t. That’s not true.”She anxiously grabbed Dereon’s arm. “Dereon, don’t listen to his nonsense. I was just thinking, if I could seduce Kendrick and sleep with him first, then when he dies, it would solidify the story that he forced himself on a waitress!”“If it were that easy, why would we wait until today to act?” Dereon stepped closer to her. “That Kendrick, like the young master, has long been bewitched by Annabelle and doesn’t even glance at other women. That’s why I arranged for you to hide in the room and fake the scene after he died.”Just mentioning Annabelle ignited a fire in Dereon’s chest.What Kendrick thought of Annabel
I wish it were you Chapter 1029 Let’s Eat Here
Annabelle walked out of the bedroom and came over to the dining table, standing in front of Kendrick.Kendrick was cutting into a plate of German sausage and hadn’t started eating yet. He looked up at her and smiled, “Why are you back again? Don’t want me to eat?”Caught red-handed, Annabelle felt a little embarrassed.Still, she reached out, took his hand, and set down the knife. “How about… you lie down with me for a bit first, and then I’ll eat with you?”Kendrick looked at her, amusement flickering in his eyes.His gaze made her face flush with heat, and even her breathing grew unsteady.“Anna, if you want the ox to work, you have to feed it first.”Her cheeks turned even redder. “That’s not what I meant…”Laughing, Kendrick pulled her into his arms, settling her on his lap. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he said, “After sleeping in the same bed for so many days, if I still can’t tell what you want, wouldn’t that be a waste of all that sleep?”He whispered the last part again
I wish it were you Chapter 1028 Is She That Pretty?
Kendrick sighed against her shoulder, clearly reluctant, but still got out of bed, buttoned up his shirt, and went to open the door.Annabelle followed him out, intending to grab a glass of water.As the door opened, she glanced over—turns out it really was room service.A male staff member was pushing a food cart, and a female staff member stood in front of it, holding a dry-cleaned suit in her arms.“Mr. Gregory, sorry to disturb you. This is the breakfast you ordered, and your clothes have been cleaned as well,” the female staff member said in a gentle, soft-spoken voice.Annabelle couldn’t help but glance at her. The woman was wearing a red hotel uniform skirt set, with an alluring figure, good looks, and a refined demeanor—clearly more polished than the average staff member.Normally, Annabelle would appreciate a pretty girl with a quick glance and move on.But this woman made her frown—and made her stay in the living room instead of heading back to the bedroom after finishing he

Annabelle’s face flushed bright red.What the VP was implying—any adult could understand.She could feel the ambiguous gazes of the others, making her even more embarrassed.Kendrick gave a cold “tsk” and glanced at his vice president. “If you can’t come up with a good idea later, I’m holding you responsible.”“lol, no problem!”he replied heartily.Kendrick looked at Annabelle and smiled. “Come on, I’ll take you to the room.”He took her hand and led her into the bedroom.Once the door closed, Annabelle hurriedly explained, “I didn’t know you were in a meeting—mmph…”Before she could finish, Kendrick had already pinned her against the door, capturing her lips in a deep, heated kiss.Annabelle couldn’t handle such intensity and felt like she was suffocating. She lightly patted his shoulder, signaling him to stop.Kendrick pulled back just slightly, his lips still brushing hers as he whispered, “Anna, I’m really happy you came to see me.”She lowered her head, biting her lip, but he gen

Dereon wore a black baseball cap, head down, looking rushed as he headed toward the boarding gate.He was about to board a flight to North City.His phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he answered, “Young Master, I’m about to board… understood…”At that moment, a familiar figure brushed past him. Dereon paused, frowning as he turned to look back.The crowd was bustling with passengers preparing to board. That fleeting figure was now nowhere to be seen. Had he imagined it?But even if it really was Annabelle, she was walking in the opposite direction of the boarding line, which meant she wasn’t getting on this flight.As long as she didn’t interfere, everything would be fine.He continued the call, “Yes, I’m listening, Young Master… Don’t worry. Tomorrow morning, just wait and watch the news.”After hanging up, he proceeded with the check-in process alongside the crowd.Dereon had booked an economy class ticket. Once on the plane, he turned off his phone and began mentally reviewing ev
I wish it were you Chapter 1025 The Darkness Before Dawn
Julissa curled herself into the blanket.For Scott, that bar was the place they first met—perhaps even where he fell in love with her at first sight. It was a beautiful memory.But for Julissa, it remained a grey area she had never managed to escape.Whenever she thought about how a stranger had taken her to a hotel that night, how she had lost her virginity there, and might have even been photographed or recorded, her scalp tingled with regret and dread.She used to want revenge on that gigolo, but now, the thing she feared most was encountering him again.She just hoped that incident would stay buried in the past, never to be mentioned again.She held up her left hand in front of her eyes, using the moonlight streaming through the window to look at the ring Scott had given her. She really liked him—loved him—and she hoped he would never find out about that foolish mistake she had made...After leaving the bedroom, Scott went to the dining room. He poured himself half a glass of whis
I wish it were you Chapter 1024 Then Don’t Say It
Julissa looked at him timidly, seemingly wanting to comfort him but not knowing where to start.She bit her lip and carefully asked, “Did you have a fight with Auntie?”“You heard something?”Julissa’s eyes became even more nervous. “Mr. Nichols, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. Please don’t be mad…”Only then did Scott realize that he had sounded a bit harsh due to his anxiety, and it had clearly scared her.“Fool, I’m not blaming you.” He pulled Julissa into his arms. “What did you hear?”“I just heard you say that when Julian had a high fever as a child, you took him to get an IV and stuff…”Scott let out a sigh of relief. It seemed like Julissa had only heard the latter part.As long as she didn’t hear the earlier part.Earlier, when he arrived at the apartment building, he had deliberately tricked her, saying he wasn’t coming back, just to play a joke on her—but he ended up scaring her to tears.That’s when he realized that Julissa had been hurt before by Liam and lacked a sense of se
I wish it were you Chapter 1023 Don’t Be Too Bold
Julissa immediately said, “I’ve got a great memory, Mr. Nichols, so don’t you go back on your word.”“I won’t. I’ll give it to you in a bit.”Julissa had been eagerly waiting for so long, but he was still teasing her. She wasn’t happy about that. “Mr. Nichols, if your ‘little surprise’ isn’t worth at least a few hundred thousand, you’ll owe me big time for all this waiting.”Scott chuckled, “Isn’t that a bit low of a bar? Just a few hundred thousand is enough?”Julissa ignored him. To a capitalist like him, money was just a meaningless number—completely irrational. What she really wanted to know now was: what exactly was this surprise gift?Since he said he’d give it to her later, it had to be a physical item.“Mr. Nichols, just let me see it now, please? Why wait? I’ve been waiting all night!”But no matter how she pouted or pleaded, Scott stayed calm and composed. He simply said, “Be good. I’ll give it to you once we’re in bed.”Julissa started wondering—what kind of gift could only

Julissa cast a sidelong glance at the takeout bags. One large box of fried chicken, two cans of premixed peach cocktails—her favorite—and… a bowl of Frozen yogurt?Wait. Frozen yogurt?She remembered eyeing it longingly when they passed that shop on the way home. She hadn’t said a word though, especially once Mr. Nichols had already driven past. She hadn’t had the heart to ask him to turn back.But clearly, he’d noticed.Looking at Scott again, the fury in her heart had significantly waned.He pulled out the yogurt and looked at her with an arched brow. “Not eating, huh?”Julissa huffed and turned her head away dramatically.As if she'd surrender to the wicked capitalist for just a bowl of yogurt.Scott shrugged, “Guess I’ll eat it, then. Can’t let it melt. Would be a waste.”She rolled her eyes inwardly. As if he—Mr. Perfectionist—would ever stoop to eating something as common as a street snack.But then… he actually started eating it.Julissa's brows furrowed as she peeked at him. H
