I wish it were you Chapter 670 Stranded Alone
Aside from the group of girls, there were also other people nearby watching the scene unfold. Although the crowd wasn’t huge, there were still about a dozen onlookers, both men and women.Watching drama had no borders…Especially when it involved two stunning women in a dispute—it naturally drew attention. Some were genuinely curious about the argument, while others were just taking the opportunity to admire long legs and tiny waists.Annabelle knew by now that her peaceful rest was out of the question. More than that, this was becoming troublesome.She draped a shawl over her shoulders and stood up, intending to find Kendrick.But the woman in the red bikini stepped in front of her, blocking her path.Annabelle glared at her. “I didn’t take anything of yours. Move.”She attempted to sidestep and go around her, but the other girls had already closed in, surrounding her.The woman in the red bikini smirked. “Steal something and think you can just walk away? You’re not going anywhere un

Annabelle took out her phone, intending to call Kendrick, but before she could, a girl behind her swiftly snatched it away.“Hurry up and let our handsome guy search you. As long as you're innocent, we’ll let you go immediately,” the girl said.The man touched the corner of his mouth and took a step forward. “Beauty, I’ll be gentle.”As he spoke, he reached out towards Annabelle’s chest.Annabelle instinctively stepped back, but her foot caught on a chair, causing her to lose balance and fall backward.At the same time, the man extended his hand as if to catch her but then let it drop.Just as Annabelle thought she was about to hit the ground, she instead landed against a firm chest. A pair of strong hands held her shoulders.“Anna.”A deep and gentle voice sounded behind her.The moment Annabelle heard that familiar voice, she turned around in surprise. She hadn’t expected to run into Marvin here!How small the world was...“What are you doing here?”“I heard you were here filming a

Annabelle was utterly speechless and couldn’t help but laugh.Marvin actually said something like that?“Anna…”“A body search is a body search—what’s this nonsense about checking while I change clothes?” she said sharply.This was her fundamental right, and it was her bottom line. No matter what others said, she would stand her ground.Marvin sighed and said in a low voice, “Anna, it’s not that big of a deal. You’re both girls, just changing clothes together. Otherwise, people will talk.”Being in the entertainment industry, Marvin knew all too well how terrifying rumors and gossip could be.He was worried that these young models would spread stories when they returned home. They all had fans and public influence.He trusted that Anna hadn’t taken anything, but would these models’ fans believe that?And what about people who didn’t know Anna personally?They might look down on her just because she came from the mountains, assuming she lacked integrity.If she insisted on proving her

The marketing director had taken advantage of Ada multiple times. She thought that meant the deal was sealed, but in the end, her contract still wasn’t renewed.She was a top model with a spotless reputation and had worked diligently on endorsements for the past six months. So why was she so easily replaced by Annabelle?Ada had done her research on Annabelle. Aside from her beauty, there wasn’t anything particularly special about her. She wasn’t a professional model or actress, nor did she come from a prominent family. The only reason her status had skyrocketed was because she married Kendrick.The more Ada thought about it, the angrier she became. Her mind was racing—she was determined to humiliate Annabelle.If only Marvin weren’t here. Then, when her friend searched Annabelle, the missing watch could be conveniently "discovered" in her clothing.Ray was a skilled magician—this kind of trick would have been effortless for him.But with Marvin present, Ray couldn’t make his move eas

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone’s gaze shifted to the shawl draped over Annabelle’s shoulders—even she looked down at it in surprise.This was something Fabian had given her a long time ago.Fabian was a world-renowned designer. Annabelle knew the shawl was his creation, but she had no idea it was so expensive.Back then, when she was still living in the mountains, Fabian had visited her, bringing two shawls. One he gave to her, and the other he gifted to a woman who often came to see Annabelle for medical treatment. Fabian had met that woman through her and enjoyed chatting with the two of them.If nothing else, this scarf alone showed that Fabian was a pretty decent guy…However, Annabelle was surprised that a man like Mr. Crooks—who had the air of a nouveau riche—could actually recognize its worth.Ada’s lips twitched as she stared at the shawl.Mr. Crooks wouldn’t say something like that without reason. Comparing the two, her so-called six-figure watch instantly felt

An Susie was once one of Annabelle’s patients. However, by the time she sought treatment, she was already in the late stages of breast cancer. She knew she was beyond saving, so she never expected Annabelle to cure her. All she wanted was pain relief—to improve her quality of life for the last two months before her passing.Back then, Fabian had gifted two scarves. The other one had gone to Sister Susie—almost identical to the one Annabelle had, differing only in color and pattern.That must have been why Willie recognized the scarf she was wearing.During Susie’s treatment, she often spoke about her husband, describing him as a self-made businessman. She mentioned that they had come from a rural background and that he had endured hardships but always treated her well…“Hello, Mr. Crooks.”Annabelle heard herself speak in a dry, somewhat unnatural tone.She simply couldn’t reconcile the loving husband Susie had described with the man standing in front of her.Willie extended a polite

Marvin immediately shut his mouth. He had already messed up once—he didn’t want to make himself even more annoying. “Where are you headed now? I’ll take you there.”“I’m going to find Kendrick. He’s in the bar, no need to send me.”Annabelle was already feeling exhausted. The whole exchange with Ada and Willie had drained her completely.For someone with social anxiety, dealing with such a scene was as exhausting as running ten kilometers.Still, she wanted to ask Marvin why he had traveled all this way just to find her.“What do you want from me?”Marvin replied, “It’s about Kendrick…”“About me?” Kendrick’s voice interrupted him. “Now, that’s something I’d like to hear.”With long strides, Kendrick walked over to Annabelle’s side.The moment she saw him, her eyes reddened.Kendrick paused, surprised. What was wrong? Why did she look so aggrieved?Had Marvin bullied her?“What happened?” he asked.“Nothing.” Annabelle lowered her head, not wanting to repeat the petty drama from earli

Kendrick’s expression grew even darker. “Let’s go. We’re finding them.”Without hesitation, Annabelle followed him back to the beach, and Marvin trailed behind them.On the short walk back, Kendrick asked Anna a few simple but crucial questions.“Did they touch you?”“Are you hurt anywhere?”“Did they know who you were? If so, why did they dare to bully you?”Little Anna, eyes still red, answered one by one: “They touched me a little, but I’m not hurt. They knew who I was, but they pretended not to recognize me!”Kendrick immediately understood. He now knew what had truly upset her.It wasn’t just that she was wrongfully accused and couldn’t defend herself—it was the fact that he wasn’t there when she needed him most. That feeling of being alone and helpless.And most infuriatingly, that bastard had tried to use the body search as an excuse to take advantage of her!The more Kendrick thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted to rip that guy apart.However, when they returned

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
