After Cael left, Annabelle rushed to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and started filling the bathtub with cold water.

This method was crude but effective.

At the same time, she planned to call Kendrick.

When she took out her phone, she first noticed a message from Julissa, sent using Scott’s phone.

Unfortunately, it was too late for that. If she had only checked her phone earlier, she might have been able to avoid drinking that glass of wine. But now, all she could do was try to find a way to ease the burning desire within her.

Annabelle switched to Kendrick’s chat window, but her trembling fingers failed to hold onto the phone.

The phone slipped from her grasp and fell into the bathtub.

Water seeped into the phone, rendering it useless.

Frustrated and annoyed, Annabelle set the phone aside. She couldn’t even wait for the bathtub to fill completely before stepping in, barefoot.

The icy water engulfed her body, bringing some relief, but it couldn’t extinguish the deep craving insid

    His expression was cold, and his sharp gaze swept over Cael and Ariana.Ariana’s heart skipped a beat.Why is Brother Kendrick looking at us like that? Did he suspect something?She glanced at Cael, but he remained completely at ease. He even patted her hand discreetly, as if reassuring her to stay calm.He was right. If Brother Kendrick had truly sensed that Annabelle was in danger, he would have rushed to find her immediately—there was no way he’d still be standing here.So, she had to stay composed and act naturally.“Brother Kendrick, I’ve been looking for you to toast you, but I couldn’t find you anywhere.”She smiled sweetly, picking up a glass of champagne laced with drugs from a passing waiter’s tray and offering it to Kendrick.Kendrick accepted the glass but didn’t drink immediately.“Have you seen Anna? I’ve been calling her, but I can’t get through.”Ariana stiffened slightly, gripping Cael’s arm tighter.She glanced at Cael again, but as expected, he remained composed, ev

    Today, Jax had been secretly protecting them. There were also Kendrick’s men stationed in the surveillance room.The moment someone drugged Anna, Jax noticed. He contacted the surveillance team, tracked her movements, confirmed her safety, and immediately reported to Kendrick.The call Kendrick had just received was from Jax.He already knew Cael had taken Anna upstairs. He also knew that—for now—she was safe.But Cael was clearly involved in this, and yet, he hadn’t made any aggressive moves. Instead, he had voluntarily brought him upstairs.Kendrick wanted to know—who drugged Anna? What was the ultimate goal?And most importantly—what was Cael really up to?Cael paused briefly before curving his lips into a smirk. “She was probably given some kind of aphrodisiac. You should hurry, Mr. Gregory—she might not be able to hold on much longer.”Kendrick’s gaze sharpened. &

    "Kendrick… is it really you?"Her delicate arm reached out from the bathtub, pitifully clutching his sleeve.Kendrick crouched down, his heart aching. "It’s me, Anna. I’m here."He touched her forehead—it was burning hot. At the same time, his fingers brushed against the water in the tub. It was ice-cold.He immediately understood. Anna had soaked herself in cold water to suppress the heat consuming her body.But this method was far too damaging to her health.Guilt surged through Kendrick. He should have come sooner."You can’t stay in here like this. I’m taking you out."Annabelle obediently murmured in agreement.She seemed frozen stiff, or perhaps the drug had left her in a dazed state. She nestled into his arms without resistance as he carried her out of the bathroom.The moment they entered the bedroom, Kendrick turned on the heater. Then, he quickly helped her out of her

    "I..." Annabelle opened her mouth, then bit her lip again.She had always believed that words of love should flow naturally, born from the depths of emotion.Yet this man was deliberately forcing her to say it, making it feel unnatural and awkward, as if she was only saying it to please him—just so they could do that.Seeing that she remained silent, Kendrick scooped her up and gently laid her on the bed. He leaned over, his deep gaze locked onto hers, and slowly unbuttoned his shirt, one button at a time, with his long, slender fingers.His firm chest and sculpted abs were soon revealed, seemingly tempting her on purpose.Then, she heard the distinct sound of a belt buckle being undone.Her entire body tensed, her blood surging through her veins.Now she fully understood the drug's effects—it heightened everything to the extreme. He hadn't even done anything, just unbuttoned his shirt, yet she was already burning with ant

    Ariana’s legs went weak, and she slumped against the wall.“Miss Murphy, are you okay? Not feeling well?” The man stepped forward to support her, his beady, lecherous eyes scanning her up and down.“Get out!” Ariana roared, shoving him away.“Uh… Y-Yes.” The man didn’t dare look at her again and hurried toward the door.As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Cael leaning casually against the hallway wall.“Jack, where are you going? Miss Murphy needs you right now.”The man, called Jack, hesitated for a moment before blinking his shifty little eyes.“Brother Yang, she’s the daughter of the Murphy family. I wouldn’t dare…”“What are you afraid of? I’ve got your back.”Cael had already told Jack about his sham marriage with Ariana, so when he now insisted that Jack go back in, the man was shocked but quickly understood the situation.“Go on. Tonight, she’s yours. I only have one request—when I come back, the scene be

    Everyone present was an adult—they instantly understood what was happening inside the room.All eyes turned to Cael, the pathetic groom-to-be who had just been humiliated at his own engagement party.Cael did not disappoint. He put on the perfect performance, displaying the emotions expected of him.He first forced an awkward smile and turned to the crowd. “The waiter must have led us to the wrong room.”Then, grabbing the waiter’s collar, he angrily said, “You’ve ruined my fiancée’s reputation! I’m going to file a complaint against you.”The waiter, playing his role well, cried out, “I swear, sir, Miss Murphy really went into this room! If you don’t believe me, see for yourself!”As he spoke, he handed Cael the keycard.Ariana’s parents had no trouble recognizing their daughter’s voice from inside the room.Her father, fearing that this

    Madam Lin glanced at the ugly man cowering in the corner, hastily covering his lower half. Her voice caught in her throat, and she couldn’t bring herself to continue.Ariana clutched the side of her face, now numb from the slap. She wanted to cry but held back the tears.She turned to look at Cael.Their eyes met, and Ariana’s heart clenched. Why did it seem like there was a trace of glee in his gaze?Cael snapped out of his stunned state and rushed to the bedside. He grabbed Jack by the collar and threw a vicious punch at him.Jack scrambled to plead for mercy. “Boss, stop! Miss Murphy wanted it! She said she was into something more exciting! I was just following orders!”The crowd gasped in shock.Who would have thought that the supposedly pure and noble Miss Murphy was actually a woman of such insatiable desires?

    “Ariana, I know it’s hard for you to understand right now, but don’t worry. I’ll prove it to you with my actions. I’ll convince my mother, and then I’ll marry you.”After speaking, Cael took out a blister pack of pills, pressed out two, and handed them to Ariana.“This is the antidote. Take it, and you won’t feel uncomfortable anymore.” He also passed her a glass of water.Ariana eyed him warily, then let out a cold laugh. “Cael, if you were really concerned about my discomfort, why not just sleep with me directly? Why even bother with the medicine?”Suppressing the hatred and disgust she felt toward him, she wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing her lips close to his.“I know you don’t actually like me. What are you really plotting?”“You probably think I’m a freak, but this is just who I am. I’ll do whatever it takes to have you. I don’t care whether I was your first—I only care if I can have you forever.”His voice was filled

    Ten minutes later, Annabelle finally finished getting dressed and walked out of the bedroom, then followed the young master out of the suite.This was the young master’s private suite at the hotel. Annabelle wasn’t sure if it was where he stayed regularly. She only knew that the last time she was poisoned in South Lake City, she was brought here by him—so it felt somewhat familiar.They headed slowly toward the elevator.The young master was clearly aware her back was hurting, so he walked at a leisurely pace to match hers.As they walked, he asked casually, “You've been with Kendrick for a while now. Tired of him yet?”Annabelle glanced at him, but he wasn’t looking at her. His expression was calm, unreadable.She lowered her head and replied softly, “...No.”“Has he ever bullied you?”“Bullied... uh, no. He hasn’t.”Annabelle almost answered instinctively—Kendrick had “bullied” her too many times, though not in the way the young master meant. Realizing her slip, she instantly regret

    Annabelle called back, and the call was picked up before the first ring even ended."Anna, where are you? Are you okay?" Kendrick's anxious voice came through."I'm fine, don’t worry. I’m at the Young Master's place..."Kendrick was silent for two seconds. "What’s wrong with your voice?"Annabelle didn’t think there was anything wrong with her voice. But since she had just woken up and was still lying down, her tone wasn’t as clear as usual. Kendrick must’ve noticed."I just woke up... still lying down.""Is that so."His voice was hoarse, as if he was trying to suppress some emotions.Annabelle quickly explained, "It’s not what you’re thinking.""I know," he paused, "When can you come back?""I’ll come now—ow..." Annabelle said as she tried to sit up, but pain in her waist forced her to lie back down."What’s wrong?""My back hurts."Kendrick went quiet again. "Can you come back today? I can take you to the hospital.""I can. Meet me at Central Hospital, I’ll ask the Young Master to

    Ryan replied, “My plan is underway. You all promised not to interfere with my pace.”“Unless your pace is too slow,” the man said with a pause. “Consider this a warning. If you keep stalling, your Anna might not be so lucky next time.”He hung up.In the blink of an eye, the man had vanished from Ryan’s view.Ryan clenched his fists. Blood from the wound on his arm dripped down to the ground.He hadn’t dared contact Anna publicly, precisely to avoid this kind of situation—afraid she’d become his weakness and be used to threaten him.And now, what he feared most had still happened.Kendrick had to die—whether to reclaim Anna or for his own reasons.But he hated being forced like this.Especially when they used Anna to push him.Glancing at the unconscious Anna in the back seat, Ryan calmed himself, got in the car, and drove away quickly.Annabelle didn’t know how long she’d been asleep.When she opened her eyes, the room around her gradually came into focus.She recognized this place.

    Annabelle still wanted to go forward to help, but Seraphina grabbed her arm.“If you go over there, the young master will have to save you too.”Hearing this, Annabelle snapped back to her senses and finally didn’t step forward, only watching anxiously in the young master’s direction.As he passed the gate, the young master grabbed a fire extinguisher and rushed to the car door. He smashed the front passenger window hard twice, shattering the glass.The trapped driver, Barry, immediately crawled out through the window.By then, security guards had also rushed over, each holding a fire extinguisher to put out the fire.The young master quickly walked back toward them.Just when Annabelle thought the danger had passed—Boom!A loud explosion burst from the car!The blast shockwave seemed to hit the young master. He staggered forward from the impact.“Young master!”Both Annabelle and Seraphina cried out at the same time.Annabelle endured the sharp pain in her waist and forced down her d

    What was Young Master doing at the Whitney Group?He had said before that he didn’t know much about Ryan. Running into him here today—could it be that Young Master was doing business with the the Whitney Group?Annabelle noticed that Seraphina was standing on Young Master's left side, while on his right was another man in a suit, holding documents and reporting something as they walked. Three more suited men followed closely behind.It seemed clear—this was a business visit.Seraphina inadvertently turned her head and glanced in Annabelle’s direction. She seemed to have spotted her and said something to Young Master.Annabelle saw Young Master turn and look toward her, where she sat in the car.Since he had seen her, Annabelle decided to go say hello.Ever since their phone call in North City, she hadn’t spoken to Young Master. This was a good chance to thank him in person for warning her and Kendrick that their breakfast had been poisoned—if not for that call, the consequences would’

    Scott held Julissa by the shoulder and gave her a light pat. “You should count yourself lucky it was me you met.”“What do you mean?”“If you’d run into a real scumbag, you’d probably get played in circles without even knowing it.”“Mr. Nichols, why are you saying that all of a sudden…” Julissa pouted. “You’re really good at hitting where it hurts.”Scott paused, rubbing his brow. She had already met a scumbag before.That brat Liam had completely fooled her—planning a wedding with her on one side while sleeping with another woman on the other. Julissa might be easy to deceive, but she had one redeeming quality: once she saw through someone, she left immediately, no second chances, no regrets. Even if she and Liam had been childhood sweethearts for over ten years, it didn’t matter.“Alright, I won’t bring it up again,” he said, kissing her on the forehead. The most urgent matter now was dealing with the Keller family and the massive trouble they posed.—Elsewhere, Annabelle and Kendr

    Looking at the wound on her face, Julissa instantly panicked.Would it leave a scar?But then she quickly comforted herself—it’s fine, Anna would definitely help her heal without a trace. After all, Anna had suffered serious injuries before and still fully recovered.Soon, Scott came out carrying a first-aid kit.Seeing how well-stocked it was, Julissa was a bit surprised. “Wow, this thing’s fully loaded. Why do you even have surgical scissors?”Scott glanced at her. “Why do you ask so many questions?”“I’m just curious.”He didn’t answer and started cleaning her wound first to prevent infection.Only then did Julissa start crying out in pain.“Just hold on for a bit.”“But I really hate pain! When I was a kid, I could only get shots after I fell asleep—so I wouldn’t see it coming.”As Scott moved in with a cotton swab to apply medicine, she screamed before he even touched her.He was speechless. “Weren’t you just smiling a moment ago?”“I hadn’t seen my wound yet, so I wasn’t scared.

    The wound was about an inch long, right on her cheek, and blood had already started to seep out.Julissa wiped her face, hissing slightly, and when she saw the blood on her fingers, her eyes widened in shock.Annabelle quickly figured it out—when Heather slapped Julissa earlier, she must have twisted her diamond ring around. So when her hand struck Julissa’s face, the ring cut into her cheek.By now, Heather had already climbed to her feet, screaming hysterically at Annabelle, “Even my parents never hit me, and you dare to slap me?!”Julissa let out a cold laugh. “Maybe that’s exactly why you’re so spoiled and uncivilized.”That one jab hit a nerve. Heather lost it. “Say that again! Who are you calling uncivilized? Who?!”Screaming, she lunged at Julissa, aiming to grab her hair.But before she could touch Julissa, her wrist was caught in a firm grip.“If you dare lay another finger on her, you won’t need this hand anymore.”With that, Scott yanked Heather away from Julissa.Heather s

    "So you'd better figure out how to deal with them as soon as possible. If you need my help, just say the word."Scott thought back to the look of rage on Heather’s face that day at the club when she saw Julissa. His mood grew heavier.Heather had an extreme personality, and her father was cunning and ruthless. The father-daughter duo was capable of anything.Regardless, he was genuinely grateful for what Kendrick had said today—and the investigation he’d quietly done on his behalf.“Looks like I need to find Samuel’s weak spot fast. Still, thank you, Kendrick.”Kendrick waved it off. “Actually, I should be thanking you. And this—this is my token of appreciation.”As he spoke, he pulled a contract from the briefcase he carried—this was the file he’d asked Jaime to deliver earlier during lunch.Kendrick’s newly developed property project came with fully furnished apartments, and among the amenities, he had incorporated a smart home system that happened to align perfectly with the Nichol
