I wish it were you Chapter 641 Thinking About Another Man in His Arms?
Serena bit her lip as she watched Scott walk away with Julissa in his arms.She had lost.She had wanted to humiliate Julissa, to make her grovel and see her suffer.But in the end, the one who came to her rescue was Scott himself.She knew better than to push him any further.His patience with her had already reached its limit.If she continued, she would be the one facing consequences—ones she couldn’t afford.So, she forced a smile, brushing off her frustration.Meanwhile, in Scott’s arms, Julissa kept her head down, feeling completely exposed.Her clothes were soaked, her body chilled, and she reeked of beer and coffee.She wasn’t usually self-conscious, but being held like this—so vulnerable, so close to him—made her uneasy.Her mind drifted to another night.The night she had left this same bar with another man.She couldn’t remember the face of the male escort from that night, but the memory of being carried in someone’s arms felt eerily similar.Instinctively, she looked up at

Julissa sat quietly in the car, her body wrapped in Scott’s coat, the scent of his cologne enveloping her.The atmosphere was tense.She didn’t dare speak.Scott’s jaw was clenched, his fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly. Though he had stopped scolding her, the tension in his body made it clear—he was still angry.She bit her lip, unsure how to break the silence.Minutes later, the car pulled up outside her apartment complex.She hesitated. “Mr. Nichols, I can go up by myself—”He cut her off. “Get out. I’ll walk you up.”She blinked. “That’s not necessary—”“Get out.” His tone left no room for argument.Sighing, she pushed open the door and stepped out.Scott followed, his tall frame towering over her as they walked toward the building.The cool night air made her shiver, the dampness of her clothes still clinging to her skin.They stepped into the elevator, the small space amplifying the awkwardness.Finally, as the elevator dinged to a stop, she turned to him.“Uh… if you’

Julissa ate quietly, occasionally sneaking glances at Scott across the table.He seemed relaxed now, the tension in his expression softened as he focused on his meal.Finally, she couldn’t hold it in any longer.She set down her chopsticks and asked hesitantly, “Mr. Nichols… why did you come to the bar tonight?”Scott didn’t even pause. He continued eating as he replied, “I heard you were looking for Serena.”Her fingers tightened around her chopsticks. “Did Jerry tell you?”Scott smirked. “Of course. You thought I wouldn’t find out?”She swallowed. “I just… I overheard some employees saying that Time Group was in trouble because of me. That you lost a major project because of me.”Scott finally looked up, his dark eyes studying her carefully.“So, you decided to go and ‘fix’ it?”She nodded. “I thought if I apologized, she would let go of the grudge and reconsider working with Time Group.”Scott leaned back in his chair, exhaling slowly.“There are two things I need to make clear,” h

Julissa pouted. "Sorry, Mr. Nichols, I didn't think it through...""This isn't your fault. I should have explained things more clearly to you," Scott said, surprisingly not scolding her. His gentleness made Julissa lower her head."However, I still think I should apologize today," she added.Scott chuckled and teased, "I'm actually curious. How did the fiery-tempered Julissa decide to humble herself and admit her mistake?"Julissa felt a bit awkward for a moment."Mr. Nichols, I've really reflected on my actions. I shouldn’t have struck first. When I did, it seemed like I gained some face, but in reality, I just put you in a passive position. I won’t do that again in the future."She looked like a child who had done something wrong, too afraid to look her parents in the face.Scott's gaze softened."When it comes to people you can't stand, if you argue with them, you’re lowering yourself to their level. Not only do you not win, but you also lose your dignity."Julissa nodded seriously

Julissa: “…”The sharp-tongued CEO truly wasn’t one for sweet words.But even in his bluntness, she could hear the affection he had for her.Compared to flowery compliments, she found his straightforwardness more sincere—more gentle, even.Lowering her head, she appeared to be focused on eating.In reality, she didn’t dare meet Scott’s gaze, nor did she have any idea what she was tasting.Her heart was in complete turmoil.After dinner, Scott observed her closely. Her face had regained some color, and her eyes looked brighter.It seemed her mood had improved.Checking his watch, he said, “Now, I really do have to go to the airport.”As he spoke, he picked up the coat draped over the sofa and put it on.Julissa wasn’t sure why, but watching him put on his coat and suddenly announce that he was leaving made her heart tighten.Just moments ago, she had thought he might find another excuse to stay.She had even planned ahead—if he stayed the night, she would take out the new set of bedshe

After reading the message, Julissa let out a silly laugh.It wasn’t anything particularly important—just a simple message to let her know he was safe.Scott’s text read: “Boarded. Landing at 5:40 AM.”She hesitated for a moment before deciding to reply with four simple words: “Safe travels.”A moment later, another message popped up.“Why aren’t you asleep yet?”Even through the screen, Julissa could almost picture Scott frowning at her.She couldn’t exactly tell him that he was the reason for her insomnia, so she made up a little lie.“I woke up and got a drink of water.”“Mm.”That was it. Just a single word.Scott was a man of few words, never one for long conversations.Yet, in that simple “Mm,” Julissa felt like she could hear his emotions, see his expression, and even understand the words he didn’t say.—The following two weeks were quiet, even empty.Scott was in Tokyo, where the time difference was only an hour.But ever since that first night, he hadn’t messaged her for anyt

Every day, Annabelle found herself playing hide-and-seek with reporters, making it nearly impossible for her to focus on school.The constant harassment was driving her insane.It got even worse when some journalists managed to sneak into the campus, lurking outside her classroom. Their presence disrupted not only her studies but also inconvenienced her professors and classmates.Left with no choice, Annabelle had to temporarily stop attending in-person classes and switch to online courses.That gave a certain someone an opportunity to gloat.Mr. Gregory wasted no time in commenting, “Didn’t I warn you? The moment you accepted that endorsement deal, your life would become much more difficult. See? Now you can’t even attend school properly.”It was already late at night. He was in bed, his strong arm wrapped around the petite woman’s waist.Annabelle turned her back to him, deliberately ignoring him.But Kendrick wasn’t done. “How about I talk to Simon and tell him we’re canceling the

If she chose to terminate it, Kendrick would never agree. And even she wasn’t sure if she could go through with it.But if she kept it… it would become a permanent bond between them.Her work would have to be postponed, and she wouldn’t even be able to finish school.Was this Kendrick’s plan all along? To use a child to keep her from taking the endorsement?The thought made Annabelle furious.“Kendrick, how could you do this?”Caught off guard by the accusation, Mr. Gu looked utterly bewildered. “Do what?”“You’re trying to tie me down with a child, aren’t you?”She turned around and glared at him through the lingering steam.Kendrick let out a sigh. “You really think so poorly of me, huh?”“Can you honestly say you didn’t do it on purpose?”For once, Kendrick actually looked a little guilty. His voice was low and hoarse as he admitted, “At first, it really wasn’t intentional… but later, you didn’t say anything, so I thought you had agreed…”Annabelle’s face instantly turned red. “I—

I wish it were you Chapter 1070 He’s Bullied You Before
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.
I wish it were you Chapter 1067 He Really Cares About Her
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’
I wish it were you Chapter 1065 Back Pain
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
