Chapter 184 He Wanted to Be with Her
Last Updated:
2025-01-16 18:03:31Annabelle smiled and, in fact, she only played the piano for her own amusement, never really considering performing on stage.
However, seeing how excited her friend was, she decided to agree to Kamila's request and give it a try.
If fortunate enough to be chosen, that would be great. If not chosen, at least Kamila tried her best and should have no regrets.
As soon as Annabelle agreed, Kamila couldn't be happier. She immediately told Annabelle a few songs she had been considering and the two of them started discussing and choosing one as their performance piece.
Gauge's attention was always focused on the conversation between Annabelle and Kamila, so he didn't hear what Hayley said at all. It was only when the people around him stopped talking that he realized the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Sorry, what did you just say?"
Hayley gave a bitter smile and said with a hint of disappointment, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if there are any

Annabelle's eyes lit up: "Weren't you uninterested in acting?"She remembered that many girls had come to find Gauge before, wanting him to participate in the show together, but he had refused and said he wasn't interested.Gauge pursed his lips and said, "Even if it's just a friendly support, isn't Kamila also quite regretful?"That's true to say, the song was adapted by Kamila, and she put a lot of effort into it. It ended up being aborted like this, and she is very regretful.Annabelle saw it all and hoped to help her bring the melody to life."We need to practice as soon as possible, I'm not sure if we can cooperate well."Gauge laughed after listening, "When have we ever not worked well together?"Annabelle smiled and realized that when she had previously sought advice from Gauge on classical harp playing techniques, they had also tried playing some pieces together and had coordinated well.Therefore, Gauge didn't think ab

But Mr. Gregory still suppressed the sourness in his heart, and lightly tugged at the corners of his mouth, managing to squeeze out a smile."Okay, very good. I wish you a successful performance."He knew that he couldn't stop her.He watched Annabelle from the beginning, unwilling to go on stage to perform, to later actively preparing, from being excited and elated after being selected, to feeling nervous and anxious as the performance approached.Kendrick saw everything.He knew that Annabelle cherished this opportunity to perform and was filled with anticipation. Since it was something she loved doing, he should fully support her and not be jealous.Annabelle looked at his ugly smile and the words that seemed to be gritted through his teeth, and instantly felt a chill run down her spine.This man was possessive and jealous, he must have been unhappy.Why suddenly do I have an ominous premonition that an old fox is up to misc

"Why?" Seamus asked, puzzled.Kendrick said lightly, "She didn't want her classmates to know about our relationship.""Kendrick, were you so humble?"Kendrick frowned unhappily, turned off the speaker, and picked up his phone. "Is there anything else?"Afterwards, Seamus said something else that Annabelle didn't hear, but Kendrick also quickly hung up the phone.Annabelle glared at him with a gloomy face.Kendrick walked past her, paused for a moment, and smiled as he patted her shoulder. "Don't be nervous, it's okay. Even if the performance goes wrong, your husband won't make fun of you."Annabelle's cosmos exploded."How did you know that I would mess up the performance?""You have only been learning for a few days, it's normal to feel nervous on stage and make mistakes. It's okay, don't worry."Kendrick's tone was like that of an older brother encouraging his impulsive younger sister, and when he mentioned the

Kendrick's gaze was so intense that it inexplicably made Annabelle feel suffocated.It was even more uncomfortable than standing on stage and being stared at by ten thousand people individually, causing the eyelashes to tremble involuntarily."It's just me, are you still nervous?"Annabelle furrowed her brows and calmly said, "I wasn't nervous."His gaze was too audacious, as if he could devour her completely at any moment, making her feel a little uneasy.Kendrick smiled, didn't say anything, changed his sitting position, and forcefully suppressed the restless thoughts in his mind, playing the role of an audience member properly.Annabelle had already brought over a wooden dining chair, stepped onto a professional footstool, embraced a classical guitar, and was ready.Then she lifted those captivating beautiful eyes, glanced lightly at Kendrick, and curled her lips as if saying, "Old fox, listen to me carefully."The piece to

Annabelle's face turned red all of a sudden, followed by a joyful expression reminiscent of a little girl."Is it really that good-looking? Then I'll wear it." After saying that, she tilted her chin at Kendrick, lifted her skirt, and briskly walked upstairs.Kendrick squinted as he watched her leave. This rabbit has been provoking frequently lately, is she too confident?The next morning, Kendrick dressed in black casual attire and went out.Annabelle sat in the restaurant eating breakfast, watching him get on the car and leave, she tapped her forehead in confusion.Today's old fox was a little different.He usually drives a Maybach to the company, but today he drove a Land Rover and was dressed casually, so it's definitely not for going to the company. He also didn't carry a bag in his hand, so it doesn't seem like he's going on a long trip.If I were to go and find a friend, it wouldn't be possible either, as it was only seven o'clo

Gauge looked confused and said, "I don't know."Annabelle thought for a moment, perhaps Gauge was less interested in the affairs of the celebrity circle.She had also long noticed that Gauge was not interested in the things that rich second-generation individuals were passionate about. He himself had also mentioned that he had only two hobbies, music and swimming.This is somewhat similar to Annabelle, as she also likes these two things."Actually, he was me..."However, before Annabelle could finish speaking, Gauge interjected, "I heard it was your brother?""Hmm?""What Kamila said."Annabelle embarrassedly grabbed her hair and inwardly regretted, she shouldn't have casually said that Kendrick was her brother, it would have been better to just say he was a regular friend.At this moment, Gauge looked at the time and the program schedule, and said, "Let's go, it's time to go backstage and prepare."So, the topic

The camera immediately switched, refocusing on the stage, and Kendrick no longer had the same mood to listen to the performance."Go to Elfhedge University immediately, as fast as possible," he said to the driver.Kendrick knew that he couldn't be mistaken. The person who flashed by in the camera just now was Ryan.Why was Ryan in the auditorium? Was there another assassination plot against him?They still came to take Annabelle away...Finally, Annabelle saw the young master she had been longing for. What choice would she make? Would she immediately throw herself into the arms of that man?Kendrick felt as if Annabelle was drifting away from him...On the stage.Annabelle and Gauge had already finished the performance.The last note gradually faded away, and there was silence in the auditorium. Annabelle felt a moment of uneasiness, but soon there was a burst of enthusiastic applause from the audience.At this mo

Annabelle searched eagerly for the young master's figure while walking out of the hall.Unfortunately, she didn't see the young master even until she left the auditorium.Since the young master had come to watch the performance and even gave her flowers, why didn't he wait for her?With a heart full of doubts, Annabelle ran along the corridor towards the school entrance.She felt that the young master might have left, so she chased after him towards the direction of the gate, and she was definitely right.It was already autumn at this time. Annabelle was only wearing a dress, and when the night wind blew, she couldn't help but shiver.Today, for the performance, she wore a pair of high heels, but she was not used to it. After walking for a while, her feet started to ache unbearably. The ankle that she had sprained a while ago also began to throb faintly.But Annabelle endured the pain and limped forward.Suddenly, the phone emi

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
