"No one upset me. It's about Julissa," Annabelle replied, taking the chopsticks and mixing the cucumber. She then told Kendrick about Julissa’s recent emotional struggles and how she kept worrying she was sick. Annabelle was even considering skipping the party tomorrow to accompany Julissa to the hospital for a checkup.Kendrick raised an eyebrow. "Didn’t your friend tell you that she’s going too? And she’ll be there as Scott’s date?""She didn’t say. Really?""Absolutely."Annabelle immediately picked up her phone and called Julissa. Once she confirmed with Julissa, she finally believed Kendrick's words."How did Scott suddenly invite Julissa?"After a few gatherings, Annabelle had noticed that Scott was truly aloof and reserved. So she couldn’t understand why he would suddenly invite Julissa, especially when they had just met for the first time today.Kendrick laughed. "Maybe he just wants to experience the lively energy of the world sometimes."Annabelle agreed. Julissa was indeed

Annabelle couldn’t help but frown. Wasn’t that a photo of her and Julissa at the hospital?How did the reporters know about this?In other words, did it mean that her every move was under surveillance? The thought made her feel uneasy and repulsed, and her expression immediately darkened.Of course, Kendrick knew the truth behind the photo because Annabelle had told him the day before that she had accompanied Julissa to the hospital.Seeing that the little woman was upset, he gently patted her hand, intending to help her out of this awkward situation.However, Annabelle spoke up first, firing back at the reporter.“That was just me accompanying a friend to pick up her physical exam results yesterday. Does your newspaper rely on hearsay and distort facts to publish every news article?”The male reporter looked embarrassed and stammered, “But you and Mr. Gregory…”Annabelle smiled slightly, her voice calm but firm. “We really appreciate everyone’s concern, but Mr. Gregory and I don’t wa

Kendrick’s gaze met Ryan’s for a brief moment.Ryan smirked, his eyes cold.Kendrick narrowed his eyes slightly. Was Ryan attending the event as the new heir to the Whitney family, or was he here for something more sinister?But tonight was Mr. Duncan’s event. Would Ryan really dare to cause trouble?When Annabelle followed Kendrick’s gaze, the Bentley had already driven past the hotel entrance, heading toward the underground parking lot.Kendrick retracted his gaze and pulled Annabelle closer to his side. “Let’s go.”He wasn’t afraid of Ryan, but he instinctively wanted to protect her.On Ryan’s side, he had already instructed his assistant, Dereon, to park the car in the underground garage. He wasn’t planning to make a grand entrance through the red carpet anyway. After the car was parked, he and Seraphina would use the private elevator to head straight to the hotel’s interior.Once the car was parked, Dereon followed him out of the car, reminding him, “Young Master, we’re here to h

Julissa blinked at Scott, her eyes twinkling like stars.Really? ~Well, that made sense. Considering who Scott was, any guy he introduced to her would undoubtedly be top-tier, a diamond bachelor.“But I’m a sucker for looks. As long as he’s handsome, I don’t mind if he’s a little broke. Oh, and you’ll have to clarify in the papers later that I’m not your girlfriend—I’m just your… assistant! Yeah, just say I’m your assistant.”Scott rubbed his temples. Was there any boss out there who gifted their assistant seven-figure dresses?Maybe. But he hadn’t reached that level of extravagance just yet.As for what exactly she meant to him, even he couldn’t quite define it.His expression darkened slightly as he said in a cold voice, “I’ll agree to that. Now, can you get out of the car?”Julissa glanced at the line of cars behind them—people were already waiting. Holding things up any longer wouldn’t be appropriate.Besides, she had just seen Annabelle go inside and was eager to meet up with he

Julissa shuddered. Were the reporters really this dramatic? The cameras were practically shoved in her face. She was lucky she’d been using Annabelle's facial masks recently, otherwise her dry skin would’ve been all over the photos. Just thinking about it made her shudder.She glanced at Scott and couldn't help but frown."I say, Mr. Nichols, could you smile a little? Otherwise, if I start smiling, people might think I'm overly excited and clinging to you."How about a little interaction?Scott frowned slightly. He hadn’t thought of that.Without saying much, he withdrew his hand and placed it around her waist, pulling her a little closer."Eh?"Julissa was about to complain when Scott lowered his head and said, "I don’t like to smile, but I can show it through my actions."As expected, the cameras went crazy, now focusing on his hand resting on her waist, clicking away like mad.But Julissa broke out in a cold sweat. These young masters had a real "prince complex."He said, "I don’t

Kendrick had kissed her waist more than once, not willing to leave even a single inch untouched.He had once said, "Anna, the first time I held your waist, I already wanted you."Annabelle couldn’t recall exactly when it was, but Kendrick reminded her, "At the engagement banquet.""Ah, so you had ill intentions back then!" She hadn’t even noticed.Kendrick kissed down her waistline, lightly biting her delicate skin. "I thought you were the one with ill intentions toward me.""I wasn’t very clear that day. I just didn’t want to marry that old man…"Kendrick gave her a sharper bite, making Annabelle stop talking immediately."So Anna was just keeping me as a backup?" he teased."Not exactly… well, maybe…," Annabelle was utterly flustered, her thoughts a mess.Unable to resist his kisses any longer, she tried to push him away, but he grabbed both of her wrists with one hand, pinning them to her waist, keeping her in place as he continued.During a brief pause in his kisses, his magnetic

Kendrick smiled. "My stance hasn’t changed. He can come back to the company, but if he tries anything shady, he won’t get away with it."After the company’s restructuring, Marvin wouldn’t be able to threaten his position in the short term, and pulling any dirty tricks would be hard. No matter what, he wasn’t going to close his eyes to Marvin’s actions again."You really went hard on him last time. He and his mother must hate you even more now."Kendrick’s face turned cold. Scott was referring to when Marvin had been set up with the "duck" incident and the media exposed his love for men.Kendrick’s expression darkened. "When he started developing feelings for Anna, he should’ve known how I’d react. That incident was just a small lesson. If he does anything else…"He didn’t continue, but Scott nodded silently. He understood Kendrick’s approach—those scandals had been the lightest punishment Marvin could get."Speaking of which, why did you suddenly bring Julissa here? Finally interested

"Silly girl," Briley said with a smile, adjusting her niece’s crooked earring. "I know Anna. With her temperament, your brother-in-law will surely grow tired of her sooner or later. When that happens, both the Sanchez family and the Castillo family will need you."Lila’s vanity inflated at her aunt’s words."Okay, Aunt, I will definitely try my best!"Briley smiled faintly. "Good, that’s the right attitude."Looking at her niece’s enthusiastic expression, she felt reassured.For the sake of the Sanchez and Castillo families? No. She simply didn’t want Annabelle to be this happy.When she had arranged the marriage between the Sanchez and Gregory families, it was to save the Sanchez Corporation, and because she knew that Annabelle, with her past and her disfigurement, would never be favored in the Gregory family. She would live like a neglected concubine—alone for life.But she hadn’t expected that Annabelle’s appearance had already fully recovered, and Kendrick treated her so well afte

The lighting in the home theater was dim. The plush double leather recliner could be laid flat to form a small double bed. But it wasn’t an actual bed—any movement on it caused it to creak.Annabelle didn’t dare to move much, but Kendrick was unbothered. Holding her by the waist and brushing his lips against hers, he chuckled lowly, “What are you afraid of? It won’t collapse.”She looked at him, the corners of her eyes still wet from tears shed during the movie. She was actually quite tired today. She also remembered explaining just last night that during their efforts to conceive, they shouldn’t be too frequent. But knowing he’d be leaving that night, she couldn’t help but hold him tightly—and soon stopped thinking about anything else.Afterward, Annabelle lay in Kendrick’s arms, a thin blanket draped over her.They lay in silence for a while before Kendrick gently stroked her arm and asked, “Feeling better now?”Annabelle smiled softly but then became suspicious. She half-sat up and

Annabelle nodded glumly. “Then at least message me when you land tomorrow.”“I will,” Kendrick said, patting her thigh gently. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep reporting in to my wife.”Annabelle quickly pushed his hand away. “Keep your hands on the wheel.”Kendrick withdrew his hand but gave her a long, affectionate look, a small smile playing on his lips.That night, after returning home, Annabelle stuck to the plan and made beef noodles.The beef had already been braised by Uncle Trey. All she had to do was boil enough noodles for two and pour the meat and broth on top.Even someone not too skilled in the kitchen like her could pull that off.Once the food was ready, Annabelle didn’t have much of an appetite. She only ate a few strands of noodles and sipped a bit of soup.Kendrick’s bowl, on the other hand, was much more lavish—noodles topped with generous slices of beef, two stalks of greens, and a fried egg she’d made just for him.Looking at the hearty meal before him, Kendrick grinned.

“You guys actually fought before?” Annabelle asked in surprise.Kendrick chuckled. “I was the one who beat him up.”He went on to explain that Sean was Uncle Trey’s little nephew. When Sean was in elementary school, no one looked after him during summer breaks, so Uncle Trey would bring him to the Gregory residence to stay for a couple of months. Back then, Sean was like a stubborn little ox. If Uncle Trey said one thing, he’d argue right back. One time, Kendrick happened to overhear and gave him a good beating. After that, he became much more obedient.Later, when Sean started middle school, he stopped coming around. Years passed, and Kendrick only heard from Uncle Trey in passing that Sean had opened a gym.Come to think of it, it had been over a decade since he’d seen the guy—no wonder he didn’t recognize him at first.Hearing all this, Annabelle couldn’t help but marvel at how small the world was, and how fate worked in strange ways. At the same time, she felt a sense of relief.S
I wish it were you Chapter 1007 Listen to My Explanation
Just thinking about her photo being stored on that man’s phone made Annabelle feel extremely uncomfortable.Especially when he said he’d “treasure” her photo with that flirty, ambiguous expression—it made her deeply irritated.God knows what he plans to do with that picture. She didn’t even want to imagine it.“Delete my photo. Now.”“Alright, alright, I’ll delete it when I get back,” Sean dodged casually. “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. Go on and wait for your husband. I’m heading out.”He turned as if to walk into the rain, but suddenly paused and looked back at her.“Oh right—earlier this afternoon, I overheard a young model downstairs on the phone. She said something like, ‘I don’t want to go too far. After all, I have no grudge against Annabelle.’”Annabelle frowned. “Which model?”“Think her name was Dale.” Sean paused. “I don’t really know what she meant, but it didn’t sound good. Don’t you have that runway show tomorrow? Just be careful.”With that, he waved and jogged off i

“I didn’t!” Annabelle responded immediately.“Then why do you look like you just did something bad?”Annabelle didn’t expect him to see through her that easily. With no other choice, she confessed everything.“Really, it’s nothing. I just ran into the Young Master earlier, and he helped me out with something. I was afraid you’d be upset if I told you.”But she *definitely* didn’t do anything to betray him. Besides, she felt completely open and honest when facing the Young Master—nothing to feel guilty about.Kendrick’s gaze darkened slightly. “What did he help you with?”Annabelle sighed. Since she’d started explaining, she decided to tell him everything.“Some people were talking behind my back, and I overheard it. I wanted to confront them, but just then the Young Master showed up and stepped in for me.”Kendrick stared straight ahead, silent for a couple of seconds before asking, “How did he ‘step in’?”“He pretended to be my lawyer...”Annabelle recounted what happened, then cauti

Ryan lowered his hand, slid it into his pocket, and the smile at the corner of his lips gradually faded. He said calmly:"In the future, if you ever run into a situation like that again, be more careful. The corridor earlier had barely anyone around and was in a camera blind spot. If those girls really wanted to gang up on you, how could you handle the three of them alone?"Anna gave an awkward smile. "I was just too angry and acted impulsively. I didn’t think it through. Thank you for helping me earlier."Ryan gave a slight smile. "No need to thank me. We... are friends, after all."Anna nodded earnestly, then suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Young Master, I saw an old photo in a magazine just now. It was of a little kid, probably five or six years old, and he looked a lot like you."Ryan’s brows furrowed slightly. His fingers clenched tightly in his pocket, but he quickly forced a smile. "Really? Which magazine was it?""It was a finance magazine, right there on
I wish it were you Chapter 1004 Enough Is Enough
The article described Ryan, the president of the the Whitney Group, known as "Mr. Whitney"—the latest heir of the Whitney family. Due to poor health in his youth, he was once sent abroad by his uncle to recover in a sanatorium.No one expected this seemingly forgotten heir to return with massive capital and directly replace his uncle as the new president of the the Whitney Group.To this day, this capable young president has never appeared in the public eye, nor has his appearance been revealed. Some say he’s ugly, others say he’s handsome. The mystery surrounding him only fuels more curiosity.Recently, someone obtained a childhood photo of him from his uncles. Judging by that photo, Mr. Whitney was likely a good-looking child.Annabelle stared blankly at the photo after reading the description. The boy in the picture looked about five or six years old. Though he wore a smile, his eyes were melancholic, and his expression was restrained—the kind of smile that felt heavy.What shocked

After Jaime left, Kendrick picked up his phone and left a comment under the most trending post:“I actually wish you wouldn’t try so hard. Rely on me a little more, and maybe you wouldn’t fall so many times. ”He tagged Anna’s account.This was his genuine reaction after watching the video compilations.The moment he posted it, it instantly became a hot topic.Although Kendrick rarely used his social media—mostly posting formal content about events or appearances—he was still a massive influencer with a huge following.His comment quickly gained thousands of likes and drew tons of replies from fans and netizens.“In a lover’s eyes, there’s no embarrassment, only heartache.”“She’s working so hard. Shame on the brainless haters!”“So what if she’s pretty and married to a rich, handsome guy? Not jealous at all! (fake smile emoji)”…Meanwhile, Annabelle was in the dressing room, waiting for the rehearsal to start.Someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned and saw one of the models

Annabelle turned back. "What is it?"Kendrick looked into her eyes. "Anna, you don’t need to be afraid of anything."Just that one simple sentence filled Annabelle’s heart with a warmth only he could bring.So, he had understood all those hidden feelings she hadn’t even voiced.She withdrew her hand from the door handle and bit her lip. "Sometimes I wonder… taking on such a major brand endorsement—am I overestimating myself?""Why would you think that?"Anna’s gaze drifted past the car window, through the hotel lobby’s glass facade, and onto the people inside."Look at them. All the girls sitting in there are exceptional. They’ve worked incredibly hard to get a spot at Lin’s press conference. And me… I’ve only had a little over a month of crash training..."Kendrick sighed, gently brushing his hand over her cheek. He told her those girls were excellent models. After all, only the best in the industry get to walk in a Murphy Jewelry show.But that didn’t mean they were fit to be the br
