Kendrick's pupils contracted slightly. After a brief silence, he spoke coldly, "No matter what you know about Emilia, it won’t threaten me. Don’t think that just because you know about her, you can ruin my relationship with Annabelle."

He paused for a moment, stood up, and added, "After all, you’ve already lost your place."

Without glancing at Marvin, he turned and walked out of the room.

He hadn’t expected Marvin to know about Emilia, but there was nothing for him to be afraid of. After all, he had planned to let Annabelle meet Emilia at some point anyway.

Kendrick returned to Annabelle’s room, finding her still asleep. He took off his jacket and hung it on the coat rack.

Sitting down beside her bed, he was about to check if the supper he’d brought was still warm when he noticed a small detail that made him raise an eyebrow.

When he had placed the food earlier, the direction of the box wasn’t like this. It had obviously been moved.

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1280 He Knows Everything

    The young master had already stepped away from the bed, as if nothing had happened just moments ago.Seraphina stared at him in a daze, finding him terrifying in that moment.He truly was the devil king—always hiding so deeply, while she, on the other hand, blurted out her true thoughts the moment she got flustered.Then he’d counter every move effortlessly, as if it were all child’s play to him.While she was mentally berating herself, the young master opened the gift box containing the pearl scarf.He took it out, examined it briefly, and then flipped it over for a closer look.Seraphina got out of bed and walked over. “Young Master, is there something wrong with it?”“No issues so far,” he replied, “but better not use it anyway.”Her nerves immediately tensed. She lowered her voice, asking, “Young Master, are you worried Mr. Knight tampered with it?”He fell silent for a moment, then placed the scarf back in the box. “Not sure, but better safe than sorry. Let’s not touch it.”Cold

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1279 Don’t Be Swayed by His Good Looks

    Seraphina turned to look at his face, hesitating for a moment before saying, “Then let’s pretend we’re tired tonight—not in the mood for anything else.”He let out a soft chuckle, seeming a bit helpless, but there was an undercurrent of appreciation in his gaze.“Alright, we’ll do as you say, Seraphina.”With that, he stood up. “It’s chilly out here. Let’s go back—the room should be ready by now.”Seraphina hugged their wedding gifts and followed him toward the main house.Whether there were cameras in the room or whether Damien was watching to judge the authenticity of their marriage—none of that mattered at the moment. Seraphina simply didn’t want to sleep with him under such hazy circumstances.Humans are contradictory creatures.When the young master used to keep his distance from her, she longed for any moment of intimacy. But now, he’d hold her hand without hesitation, casually say things that made her blush, and there was even a real opportunity to push him down and… well, he d

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1278 The Hand Under the Table

    Damien answered the call directly at the dinner table.“We’re not acquiring Caleb’s company. Let it go bankrupt. After that, reclaim all his assets, including the house and car I gave him. Once it’s all taken care of, ruin his eyes and throw him back on that island. Let him live out the rest of his life there.”The person on the other end said something, probably pleading for Caleb.Damien let out a cold snort. “Those eyes were a gift from me. Everything he has today was built by me. If I gave it to him, I can take it back. A disobedient dog has no use—just do as I said.”With that, he ended the call.Isabel Knight’s steak knife somehow slipped from her hand, clattering loudly onto the floor.Seraphina was startled as well. Her own hand trembled and the knife slipped while cutting her steak.The next moment, under the table, the Young Master’s hand landed on her thigh and gently patted it.Seraphina froze and turned to look at him.The Young Master met her gaze. “Want me to help you c

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1277 The Pearl Pillowcase

    The young master exchanged polite pleasantries with Damien, saying things like “You’re too kind.”Seraphina simply kept a polite smile on her face, not paying much attention to the small talk.As for whether Isabel was genuinely offering her congratulations, Seraphina wasn’t sure.But she was absolutely certain—Damien’s smile was anything but sincere, no matter how kind he appeared on the surface.Two minutes later, Uncle Wesley returned to the dining room, carrying two gift boxes—one large, one small.The large box was about the size of a pillow, and the smaller one was roughly the size of a watch case. Both were adorned with satin ribbons tied into delicate bows, looking quite exquisite.Damien rose to personally hand the gifts to them.It turned out, the large box was for Seraphina. Inside was a pillowcase made entirely of precious sea pearls.Damien explained that sleeping on a pearl pillow like this could calm the nerves and improve sleep, especially beneficial for women, even sa

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1276 What, You Think I’ll Eat You?

    Damien walked up to Isabel and gently patted her on the shoulder.“Child, think it over carefully—for your own sake. Then decide what you want to do. I’ll go down first to welcome them. Once you’ve settled your emotions, come join us.”Isabel nodded.After he left and the door shut behind him, Isabel closed her eyes, and two trembling teardrops fell onto the back of her hand.Was there really no choice?And when she thought of the one in her heart, it felt like her entire chest was being pricked with needles.…Meanwhile, Seraphina entered the mansion with the young master.Uncle Wesley, the butler, led them directly to the dining room and informed them that dinner would begin shortly and Mr. Knight would be down soon.Since the host hadn’t arrived, the guests didn’t sit.The young master held Seraphina’s hand and led her to sit at the mini bar by the dining room, waiting for Damien to come down.As soon as they sat down, Seraphina discreetly pulled her hand away.The young master rai

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1275 Flirtation

    With Young Master’s words hanging in the air, Seraphina didn’t know how to refuse him.Because the excuse he gave was airtight—there was no flaw to exploit.She glanced at the figure on the second floor out of the corner of her eye, bit her lip, and gave Young Master a small nod.He smiled, his tone affectionate: “My Seraphina is so obedient.”“What?”Young Master looked down at her, his voice low and close, almost a little impatient.Seraphina said, “But you can’t go too far, or I’ll bite you.”He chuckled. “Alright.”Then, he gently moved her hand away and kissed her lips.Seraphina stared into his eyes. “Young Master, if you want to kiss me in the future, you can ask. If I’m in a good mood, I might agree. You don’t have to use ‘acting’ as an excuse every time.”Yes, she had seen through him from the start.After all, if this was just to fool the person on the second floor, a little flirting would be enough. There was no need to kiss for so long.But Seraphina didn’t expose him—beca
