Chapter 275 Fail to Find Her
Last Updated:
2025-03-01 18:00:19Annabelle boarded Robin's private plane and arrived at his private estate in Glubia.
Robin personally went to the tarmac to pick her up.
"Annabelle, it was so good of you to come," Robin hugged her.
They hadn't seen each other for several years. In Annabelle's memory, Robin was tall with brown curly hair and melancholic light blue eyes, which were very charming. But now Annabelle couldn't see him, she could only judge his mood by his voice, which sounded very low.
"How is Kaila doing now?"
Robin had been unable to make it to Ironbay Island to visit Annabelle before, also because his wife Kaila had been seriously ill.
This time, Annabelle hurriedly came because Kaila was already in her final moments.
Robin sighed and said, "Come with me first, she has something to say to you in person."
Annabelle knew that this was probably her last words, and her heart became even heavier.
Five years ago, Annabelle had just started pract

"For Henri, you also have to stay strong."Annabelle knew that such a light and airy sentence, telling him to be strong, actually couldn't help him at all, but she didn't know what else she could do.She had also heard their love story, this romantic cross-border love, which was full of hardships from the very beginning.When Kaila was studying abroad, she met Robin. However, their parents opposed their union from the beginning. Robin's family did not accept Kaila's humble background, and Kaila's parents did not accept her marrying into the Crystaliron family.Robin was once banned from leaving for half a year, and Kaila was also almost forced by her parents to marry another man.

Gauge's message was, "After you came to my house that day, my father decided to make you the newest spokesperson for our Murphy Jewelry. Later, he found out that you were sick and felt down for a while, but he said that once you come back, if you're willing, you will be the spokesperson for Murphy Jewelry. I accidentally said so much, I hope I didn't bother you, and I hope to see you soon."Jewelry spokesperson... Annabelle never even considered it.Moreover, the jewelry brand under the Murphy Group is very influential. The spokespersons for the brand are all A-list celebrities. She never expected that she would be valued so highly by Simon.Of course, she also had no intention of agreeing, because due to her personality, it seemed that she was not very suitable for doing modeling or endorsement work.She considered for a while and decided to reply to Kamila and Gauge's message."My eyes have already recovered, but it will take some time before I c

Soon, some news links about Kendrick popped up."Kendrick attended the project completion ceremony and performed the ribbon-cutting."The Gregory Group once again achieved great success in the real estate industry, and Kendrick was interviewed by reporters."Mr. Reyes got married and Kendrick brought a luxurious gift."Most of them are business-related, with a few being about the celebrity circle.However, from the picture accompanying the news, it can be seen that Kendrick still looked extraordinary as usual, attracting attention wherever he went.It can be seen that in those days without Annabelle, Kendrick was still the esteemed Mr. Gregory, the president of the Gregory Group, and his career was thriving and his life was perfect.Perhaps she had already forgotten about her?Then, a piece of gossip news caught her eye.Kendrick may have secretly divorced Annabelle and is about to marry the daughter of the Murphy family

Annabelle didn't feel any other meaning in Robin's gaze, she just felt a bit amused and uncomfortable discussing the topic of "marriage between same-sex individuals" in front of an innocent child."...Robin, did you talk too much to the child?"Robin shrugged and said there was no problem in letting children understand the complexity of the world from an early age.Afterwards, Robin answered his son's question, saying that there is not only one form of marriage in the world, and that not all married people necessarily love each other. However, he still hopes that Henri will be able to marry someone he loves in the future.Henri nodded thoughtfully.Annabelle suddenly thought about what she would say if she had children in the future and they asked her what marriage is.I couldn't help but think of Kendrick, what would he say?The scene of the conversation between the big and small suddenly slipped through Annabelle's mind, and she cou

Kendrick had some acquaintance with the host of the mansion where the banquet was held, and as someone of his status, it was very easy for him to get the invitation, so he came.And then I saw a scene where she and that Crystalironese man were incredibly harmonious and well-matched.The man said something unknown, making her lower her head and chuckle.Then the man unexpectedly patted the hand she had placed on his arm, and she blushed!Kendrick felt like he was losing control. He just wanted to rush over immediately and carry the young woman on his shoulders back home.Just at that moment, the symphony orchestra in front of the banquet hall started playing a harmonious waltz, and the opening dance officially began.Kendrick barely suppressed his anger and took a sip of champagne.Watching her dance gracefully with that Crystalironese man, it reminded me of the first time they danced that same dance at their engagement banquet.

Annabelle walked out of the villa and crossed a short corridor, finally arriving at a deserted place, where she breathed a sigh of relief.At that moment, someone tapped her shoulder from behind.Annabelle was startled and turned around to see a blond-haired, blue-eyed man from Welledgese.It wasn't Kendrick, she breathed a sigh of relief.Later, she heard the man say in Crystalironese, "Beautiful Coldburnese princess, what made you leave in such a hurry? There are still two hours until the clock strikes twelve. Isn't it too early to escape now? Why not dance with me again, maybe I am your prince."Annabelle had a black line on her face. This man was so clueless, spouting cheesy sweet talk that was on par with Marvin."Sorry, I wasn't interested."Annabelle said and then tried to walk around the man.I thought that the people who came here would at least have some dignity, regardless of whether they had any dignity in private.

All the fears came rushing in, making her feel anxious and confused. She started wandering aimlessly, but wherever she went, there was always a wall.When her fear reached its peak, a pair of arms embraced her."Why are you running around? If you get lost, just wait in the same place, I will come and find you."Although Kendrick was blaming, his tone was gentle.Annabelle's nose tingled, and she said, "The people I was waiting for, none of them came back, you don't have to say such nice things... um..."Before she could finish speaking, Kendrick had already kissed her lips.He kissed passionately, he kissed lingeringly, conveying to her all the longing he had for her during these days through this silent way.Annabelle initially str

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
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
