Chapter 206 When Did She Plan to Take Action?
Dernière mise à jour:
2025-02-09 18:02:49Annabelle 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;

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

Kendrick hesitated for a moment. His grandmother asked him to help carry something heavy, and it was this small bottle?"Grandma, what is this?"Grandma smiled mysteriously and said, "I had prepared this for you and my daughter-in-law a long time ago. It can enhance fertility and make the child stronger. Both of you should take one small pill before bedtime every day. In less than two months, you will definitely conceive."Kendrick rarely blushed, but his grandmother managed to make him do so."Grandma, this medicine, does it have any side effects?""Of course not, would grandma give you bad things? Back then, when your mother had been married for three years without a child, I made her eat with your dad, and look, she gave birth to such a healthy and smart child like you."Grandma's approval made Kendrick happy. "Okay, then I will eat with Anna."Although Kendrick is not sure now whether he will continue to be with Annabelle, since h

Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain where the cemetery was located.Kendrick parked the car and the two of them walked along a stone path, heading towards the mountain.The mountain was not high, but the stone steps were steep. Annabelle climbed with some difficulty, and Kendrick wanted to hold her hand, but Annabelle shook him off."No need, I can do it."Kendrick shook his head helplessly and didn't insist on it anymore.However, just as Annabelle finished speaking, not even a minute had passed when her foot slipped on the slippery moss and she fell to the side.She exclaimed and finally fell firmly into Kendrick's arms."Rely on me a little, and I won't let you lose any weight."Annabelle, her heart pounding after nearly falling, casually said, "The people I have relied on, none of them have come through for me in the end."So everything had to rely on oneself.Kendrick glance

Annabelle was stunned. "Why would Master kill you? Besides, Master doesn't kill people."She had witnessed Master's mercy and gentleness, a man who would release even a mouse trapped on a wooden board. How could he possibly be capable of killing someone?"Kendrick, do you have persecutory delusion?"Kendrick suddenly laughed, never before had he been so happy after being completely shut down by her.Because of her candid gaze and all of her reactions, he could be certain that Annabelle didn't lie.Perhaps, Annabelle did intend to go with her Master, but she neither knew Master's identity nor knew that Master had once planned to assassinate him, nor had she been involved in Ryan's assassination.She was innocent, it was a misunderstanding on my part."Annabelle, actually he...""If you speak ill of him again, I won't go to the mountains with you," Annabelle said angrily.Kendrick pursed his lips and swallowed the second h

Kendrick hurriedly comforted, "What are you afraid of? The thunder is still far away, it won't strike you."However, as soon as the words fell, another lightning bolt struck, followed by the sound of thunder.The thunder and lightning came closer this time...Kendrick's face darkened as he silently glanced at his mother's tombstone, thinking to himself, "I am your own son, are you really going to betray us?"But there was no time to think further, as at that moment the two of them were on the top of the mountain, which was indeed very dangerous.If struck by lightning, tomorrow's news will be lively: the president of the Gregory Group, accompanied by his wife, was struck by lightning and died instantly..."We quickly descended the mountain."After Kendrick finished speaking, he took Annabelle's hand and walked quickly downhill.However, before reaching the foot of the mountain, a heavy rain poured down.The rain kept pou

"I didn't!" Annabelle said, then she arrogantly turned her head away and stopped looking at Kendrick.She wasn't lusting after his body, but rather, from a doctor's perspective, from a biological perspective, sincerely admiring his strong and well-proportioned physique, that's all."Really, you didn't think about anything?"Kendrick had arrived by her side, his warm and enticing masculine presence enveloping her instantly.Annabelle dodged backwards and leaned her body against the nearby stone wall. She placed her hand on his chest, but as soon as her fingertips touched his scorching skin, she quickly pulled back, as if she had touched a burning piece of iron.Annabelle's face suddenly flushed. "Who did you think everyone was like you?"She thought, "You've got sex on the brain all the time!""I won't give it a thought; we have to save our first time for a better place."Annabelle was very clever. When she heard him say this, s

Suddenly, in the distance, there came a loud rumbling sound, and the cave started to shake, as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.Annabelle was shocked and immediately went to the entrance of the cave, looking towards the direction where the sound was coming from, breathing heavily in a hurry.However, in front of her was pitch black, and Annabelle couldn't see anything.She didn't know what the loud noise was, but she only remembered that when she was 13 years old, it was her third year at Springvale Temple. That year, there was a lot of rain, and a nearby mountain near Springvale Temple experienced a large-scale landslide.There was a loud noise at that time, just like just now!Kendrick had not come back yet, could it be...Annabelle couldn't dare to think further, and she couldn't sit still either. She turned on the flashlight on her phone and walked out of the cave.Following the same path as befo

I wish it were you Chapter 1050 Help from an Ex-Boyfriend
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
I wish it were you Chapter 1049 Too Embarrassing
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
I wish it were you Chapter 1048 Seduction, Well-Planned
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
I wish it were you Chapter 1043 Just Her, No Bonus
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
