Chapter 249 Keep Annabelle in the Dark for Now
Last Updated:
2025-02-25 18:00:51Kendrick raised his hand, and Jax let go of Lisa.
"Whose phone is it?" Jax asked.
"I didn't know who the person was... They were using an anonymous phone... And they had a voice changer."
She knelt on the ground, clutching her throat, gasping heavily and coughing violently.
This secret, indeed, was told to Lisa by an anonymous person through a phone call, so she also didn't know the identity of the other party.
Kendrick pondered for a moment, no longer glancing at Lisa, and instead walked away.
"Kendrick! You only had three days! Divorce Annabelle!" Lisa shouted fearlessly.
Kendrick paused, turned his face slightly, and said coldly, "If you have the strength, recite some scriptures to yourself and transcend yourself in advance."
After saying that, Kendrick left the basement. As he closed the door, he could hear Lisa's unwilling shout from inside.
Kendrick said to Jax, "Keep an eye on her, we can't let her die right now."

Annabelle dreamt that Master helped her examine and then removed the gauze from her eyes. Afterwards, a cool, ointment-like substance was applied around her eyes, and icy liquid was dropped into her eyes.Annabelle instantly felt much more comfortable, and her eyes didn't hurt as much.Afterwards, Master seemed to have personally applied medicine on the back of her hand. The ointment had a faint fragrance. After finishing the treatment, Master gently held her hand and then left the ward.Annabelle shouted anxiously, "Master, don't go."Until her shoulder was gently grasped, Kendrick's voice came through, "Anna, wake up.""What did you dream about?" Kendrick asked with a smile.He was busy all night and came to the hospital early in the morning to visit Annabelle. He pretended that he hadn't heard her calling "Master"."I dreamt that Master applied a kind of ointment on me and also put eye drops, and then I felt much better," she remai

"Anna, why haven't you been replying to my messages?" Fabian's voice leaked out from the receiver.Kendrick said, "I am Kendrick.""What about Anna? Why is it you answering the phone?""She was still sleeping."Fabian's voice became angry, "What I asked was, why was it you who answered the phone.""Because she was sleeping next to me, I didn't want to wake her up, so I answered the phone. Is there a problem?""You..." Fabian took a deep breath. "Kendrick, why is she sleeping next to you? What did you do to Anna?""It's exactly the kind of thing you were thinking."Annabelle on the side had black lines all over her head, and her cheeks were unnaturally flushed.She is now very regretful, why did she let that Kendrick help her answer this call!She decided to get her phone back, but Kendrick picked up the phone and went to the balcony.Annabelle couldn't hear Fabian's voice anymore; she could only faintly hea

As soon as Annabelle heard these words, her face flushed again.Not to mention that her hand was already much better, she could take care of herself even when the wound was more severe the previous day. When did she ask him for help in taking off her pants...Kendrick was clearly teasing her."If you keep making a fuss, I will really get angry.""Okay, just kidding. Don't get so worked up, I'll just leave."Kendrick smiled, left the bathroom, and closed the door for her.Annabelle sat on the toilet seat, her hands wrapped in bandages, covering her face.She knew that her emotions were on the verge of collapsing and could also sense that Kendrick was trying his best to cheer her up.But she was still very scared and upset.When she first woke up, she could still perceive light through the gauze, but this morning, upon waking up, her perception of light had become very weak.Furthermore, during the day yesterday, sh

Kendrick gave a bitter smile and said, "It's not like it was some century-long puzzle that needed so much consideration."Annabelle thought to herself, it was difficult... she had no experience..."Alright, I won't ask anymore. Don't feel pressured," Kendrick rubbed her head, "You don't want to hear about how I became the CEO, right?""Well, you said it, I want to listen."Annabelle was full of curiosity about Kendrick's life, which she had never experienced before.Afterwards, Kendrick began to speak. When he mentioned that he had left the Gregory family for two years and returned as the CEO two years later, Annabelle keenly caught a key piece of information.Because Fabian had said that Kendrick's past had many mysteries, including two years when he left the Gregory family, and the events that occurred during those two years could not be investigated at all.Annabelle couldn't help but ask, "Where did you go those two years?"

Ariana had already been here for over ten minutes.The ward door was not closed tightly, and she could hear laughter coming from the balcony, as well as Kendrick speaking to Annabelle in a tone she had never heard before.A bit rogue, a bit rebellious, extremely doting...When the two of them held each other tightly, Ariana also saw.Ariana never knew Kendrick was like this.She couldn't bear it anymore, took out her phone, and dialed Kendrick's number.But soon Kendrick pushed him away and continued kissing Annabelle!Ariana gritted her teeth in frustration, took a deep breath, and dialed for the second time.In the hospital room, Kendrick was interrupted for the second time by the ringing of the telephone. He slightly moved away from Annabelle's lips and let out a sigh.Annabelle took the opportunity to break free from his embrace, biting her lip that glistened with water, and said, "You hurry up and answer."Ke

Ariana came to the bedside and sat down, sighing, "Annabelle, actually I deliberately kept Ken away because there are some things I must tell you.""Okay, go ahead."Although Annabelle couldn't see Ariana's expression, she could sense a pretentious tone in her voice, which made her curious about what she was going to say."I looked it up online, there are many blind people who, after adapting, can live just like normal people. These days, I am also helping you find a suitable guide dog. Trust me, everything will get better.""But Kendrick said that my vision would gradually recover."Annabelle deliberately acted as if she couldn't accept this fact because she was eager to know what Ariana, with malicious intent, wanted to do.As for whether her eyes would really go blind, Annabelle wouldn't just take Ariana's word for it."Annabelle, Ken was afraid that you wouldn't be able to handle the truth, so he kept it from you all along."

Ariana said solemnly, "Annabelle, I know this is difficult, but if I were you, I would voluntarily leave him to prevent the man I love from committing a crime."Annabelle raised an eyebrow, finally getting to the point.She sighed and said, "But Ariana, in my current situation, it's even difficult for me to walk out of this hospital room.""Annabelle, if you really wanted to leave, I could help you. After you leave Ken, I would also ensure a worry-free life for you."Annabelle chuckled inwardly, Ms. Murphy did consider things thoroughly, but she underestimated others' intelligence.However, Annabelle still wanted to see what else Ariana had up her sleeve, so even though she saw through her intentions, she decided to continue cooperating with her for a while."Annabelle?""This matter was too sudden; you have to let me consider it.""But don't think too long, because Ken will arrange the surgery for you tomorrow night."L

At this moment, Kendrick's phone suddenly rang, and he said, "I'll take a call first."Annabelle nodded."Jax.""Boss, I have already taken Lisa to the hospital.""Watched over her..."Annabelle didn't hear the rest of the conversation because Kendrick went out into the hallway to answer the call.But what Jax said, Annabelle heard it very clearly, and she felt there was no need to ask anything further.The cornea donor was quickly found within a short period of time. The name of the donor is not disclosed. Meanwhile, Lisa has already arrived at the hospital, and Jax will take care of her.All the information connected together, Annabelle could basically confirm that Kendrick was probably really going to kill Lisa and then transplant her corneas.And Ariana did not deceive her either.Annabelle was in a state of turmoil. If she pretended to know nothing and obediently underwent the surgery tomorrow, she would be a

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
I wish it were you Chapter 1026 Sudden Attack
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
