Chapter 200 Two Hundred Thousand Is Not a Small Amount
Huling Na-update:
2025-01-19 18:04:51Annabelle came to the hot spring area alone, chose an empty pool, walked in, and then comfortably closed her eyes.
Not long after, other classmates also arrived.
There were several more people in the pool, including both girls and boys. Annabelle looked around and noticed that there were still several empty pools. She wondered why everyone had to squeeze together with her.
If she were to get up and change pools now, it wouldn't be impossible, but it would seem very impolite, as if she were disdainful of her classmates.
So she moved a little away from others.
Gauge didn't go into the pool because he didn't like sharing the pool with others. So he sat on a chair nearby, listening to music, planning to have a snack and then go back to his own suite.
He lived in a small detached villa with a private courtyard, which had his own private hot spring pool. Actually, he could have gone straight back to his room, but he couldn't help but walk over to

I wish it were you Chapter 201 Wanting to Be Her Sugar Daddy
Annabelle just arrived at the bar and ordered a hot coffee from the waiter.While she waited, it felt like a big, heavy person had just sat down next to her.Annabelle glanced at him with a sidelong glance and immediately knew what he was thinking, so she got up and left.When dealing with a thug, you can't be too careful. The sooner you get away, the better.But even so, her shoulder was still held down by the man."Miss, why didn't you take the order after you placed it?"The waiter had already placed the hot coffee on the bar counter. The man pushed the cup towards Annabelle and glanced at the waiter, saying, "Just leave it. You can go now."The waiter hesitated for a moment and then retreated to the backstage.Annabelle looked around and realized that there were no classmates of hers in the bar. In fact, it was just her and this man.The waiter had already left, so even if he heard any noise, he wouldn't pay attention to her.After all, Annabelle was just a student, while this per

As Gauge pushed open the door of the bar, a strong smell of alcohol hit his nose.He quickly searched for Annabelle's figure, but he did not see her...There came rapid panting from the corridor, and Gauge grew even more nervous as he walked quickly over.The next scene made Gauge stop in his tracks, feeling a sudden shock.The small wine rack on one side of the corridor toppled over, and the floor was covered with broken glass and spilled wine.Annabelle was pressed tightly against the opposite wall, her bathrobe torn and revealing her collarbone. Her hair was disheveled, and she held half a bottle of red wine in her hand, staring directly at the man in front of her.And across from her, the man was sitting on the ground, holding his head in pain and groaning, blood flowing down his face through his hair, looking extremely horrifying.Gauge ran quickly towards her.Annabelle immediately aimed the half bottle of wine in her hand at him. Upon realizing it was him, she let out a sigh of
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-08I wish it were you Chapter 203 Annabelle's Grievance
Annabelle could see Gauge's dilemma, and having experienced her fair share of frustration in the past, she had long understood a lesson: engaging in arguments over trivial matters just to prove a point could potentially land both herself and her friends in even more difficult situations.So, she could only console herself, a woman should be able to bend and stretch, when it's time to show weakness, then show weakness.Since she was the one who hit the person, she should take responsibility and compensate.I just hope that Gauge doesn't get caught in a dilemma because of her.Davin chuckled and said, "Miss, I'm afraid you couldn't afford it.""Don't talk nonsense."Annabelle thought to herself, "Isn't it just breaking your head? Are you a pig's head made of gold or something?"Davin pouted and said, "My injury needs to be assessed before we can determine how much you should compensate me. But on the shelf you broke behind me, there was a bottle of red wine that belonged to me. I had ju

Before Annabelle could say much, Kendrick had already hung up.Annabelle returned to Davin, feeling frustrated. By that time, he was already sitting on the sofa, with the manager nodding and bowing beside him.Gauge walked over anxiously and asked her what was going on.Annabelle shook her head and said to Davin, "Someone will come to compensate you in a while, but you may have to wait a little longer..."She was very unsure when she said these words.After all, if Kendrick was in the city at that time, it would take him at least two hours to get here.I hope Davin won't cause any more trouble.Davin finished listening and smiled faintly, then lit a cigar."Miss, I didn't have so much time to wait for you, to be honest, I didn't really need that money. But now I have an idea that can not only exempt you from compensation but also help me save face."He took a puff of his cigar, blew a smoke ring, and continued, "After al

Kendrick's temples throbbed, he wiped away the tears on her face, and said, "Go sit over there for a while, don't look this way."Annabelle felt the coldness emanating from Kendrick, her scalp tingling, as she stood frozen in place."Be good, go quickly."His tone was gentle yet firm, like a command, directing Annabelle to involuntarily move her legs and turn towards the distant booth.Did Kendrick want to kill that person?She had just thought of turning around to look when suddenly there came a loud crack behind her, as if the sound of a joint breaking, and at the same time, Davin let out a scream like that of a slaughtered pig.Annabelle shivered all over and wrapped Kendrick's coat tightly around herself. Finally, she didn't dare to look back and slowly sat down on the sofa, with her back turned towards Kendrick.I could only hear Davin pleading in pain, "Mr. Gregory, Mr. Gregory, I really didn't know she was your girl. Are you re
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-09I wish it were you Chapter 206 When Did She Plan to Take Action?
Annabelle had been living with Kendrick for over three months, how could she not tell that he was jealous?Based on past experiences, when Kendrick gets jealous, the next step is to definitely make her jealous as well.So Annabelle quickly changed the subject."By the way, why did you come here too?""Soaked in hot springs."Kendrick said as he carried her into the house and headed straight to the bathroom.Annabelle tutted in her heart; Kendrick is really good at pretending. When could he not go to the hot springs, but had to come on the same day as her, obviously it was intentional.Wasn't he very busy with work? How does he still have time to stare at her so closely?Muttering to himself, Kendrick had already put her in the bathtub, taken off her large suit jacket, and started helping her untie her bathrobe.Annabelle was taken aback and held his hand, saying, "I can handle it myself."Kendrick was taken aback;
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-09I wish it were you Chapter 207 Not Good for the Baby
Before going to bed that night, Kamila had already learned from her classmates that the man who picked up Anna every day in a low-key Audi was actually Kendrick, the CEO of the Gregory Group.Then she and her classmates searched online, and they knew everything.What Anna? It's Annabelle, Mr. Gregory's flash-married wife. This kind of idol drama plot only happens around them.So Kamila considerately packed Annabelle's luggage and delivered it to her.After all, since the CEO's husband arrived, how could Anna possibly sleep with her?Annabelle opened the door for Kamila and took everything she stuffed into her arms. She looked at the angry Kamila and awkwardly smiled, "I hid it from you guys because I was afraid of being treated differently.""Hmph, go back and help me lose two kilograms, and I will forgive you."Annabelle laughed and said, "Okay, okay."Kamila finally laughed and said, "By the way, we are going mountain climbin

Annabelle's smile froze instantly. Baby? What baby?Immediately, she looked at Kendrick and saw him taking the cushion handed to her by her grandmother, with an innocent expression on his face, as if saying, "It's not related to me at all."Seeing that he didn't clarify, Annabelle asked, "Grandma, how did you know?"Grandma smiled and said, "A while ago, didn't Kendrick tell the reporters that your children were about to be born?"Annabelle sighed inwardly, knowing at that moment that Kendrick had set a trap for her, but she never expected it to explode like this.She glanced at Kendrick again, and this time Kendrick spoke."Every summer and autumn, Grandma used to come and live in the mountains. Even though she lived in the mountains, she would still go online by herself."Annabelle observed the old man in front of her. Her grandmother had a graceful demeanor, dressed simply but with good taste. Clearly, she was not an ordinary farme

I wish it were you Chapter 1030 Happiness Within Reach
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
I wish it were you Chapter 1027 They Might Hear Us
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
I wish it were you Chapter 1022 He Knows No Restraint
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
