I wish it were you Chapter 671 Top-Notch Acting
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

Now Annabelle finally understood.Back when she had mentioned wanting to learn boxing from Jax, Kendrick had simply said, “I’ll teach you.”The second time she brought up Jax’s skills, Kendrick had responded, “Why are you so fixated on Jax? I’m much better than him. I didn’t hire him just because he can fight.”At the time, she thought he was just bragging.Now, she believed him.He really wasn’t any worse than Jax…At this moment, Annabelle couldn’t help but admire him—but she was also a little afraid of him.This man was not as simple as she had thought.She suddenly remembered what Marvin had been about to say earlier. Turning to him, she asked, “What was it you wanted to tell me about Kendrick?”Marvin withdrew his gaze from the distance and replied casually, “Nothing. I’ll tell you another time. I’m leaving now.”And just like that, he walked away, unfazed.Staying any longer would only make him feel even more useless and out of place.But at least now, he understood what Anna tr

Agatha’s face turned deathly pale. “Dereon, I didn’t!”Sid let out a cold snort. “At first, when we didn’t see Annabelle, you tried to seduce Kendrick directly. You wanted to sleep with him, then turn around and cling to him as his mistress, living a worry-free life, didn’t you?”Agatha shook her head in panic, glancing between Sid and Dereon. “No, I didn’t. That’s not true.”She anxiously grabbed Dereon’s arm. “Dereon, don’t listen to his nonsense. I was just thinking, if I could seduce Kendrick and sleep with him first, then when he dies, it would solidify the story that he forced himself on a waitress!”“If it were that easy, why would we wait until today to act?” Dereon stepped closer to her. “That Kendrick, like the young master, has long been bewitched by Annabelle and doesn’t even glance at other women. That’s why I arranged for you to hide in the room and fake the scene after he died.”Just mentioning Annabelle ignited a fire in Dereon’s chest.What Kendrick thought of Annabel
I wish it were you Chapter 1029 Let’s Eat Here
Annabelle walked out of the bedroom and came over to the dining table, standing in front of Kendrick.Kendrick was cutting into a plate of German sausage and hadn’t started eating yet. He looked up at her and smiled, “Why are you back again? Don’t want me to eat?”Caught red-handed, Annabelle felt a little embarrassed.Still, she reached out, took his hand, and set down the knife. “How about… you lie down with me for a bit first, and then I’ll eat with you?”Kendrick looked at her, amusement flickering in his eyes.His gaze made her face flush with heat, and even her breathing grew unsteady.“Anna, if you want the ox to work, you have to feed it first.”Her cheeks turned even redder. “That’s not what I meant…”Laughing, Kendrick pulled her into his arms, settling her on his lap. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he said, “After sleeping in the same bed for so many days, if I still can’t tell what you want, wouldn’t that be a waste of all that sleep?”He whispered the last part again
I wish it were you Chapter 1028 Is She That Pretty?
Kendrick sighed against her shoulder, clearly reluctant, but still got out of bed, buttoned up his shirt, and went to open the door.Annabelle followed him out, intending to grab a glass of water.As the door opened, she glanced over—turns out it really was room service.A male staff member was pushing a food cart, and a female staff member stood in front of it, holding a dry-cleaned suit in her arms.“Mr. Gregory, sorry to disturb you. This is the breakfast you ordered, and your clothes have been cleaned as well,” the female staff member said in a gentle, soft-spoken voice.Annabelle couldn’t help but glance at her. The woman was wearing a red hotel uniform skirt set, with an alluring figure, good looks, and a refined demeanor—clearly more polished than the average staff member.Normally, Annabelle would appreciate a pretty girl with a quick glance and move on.But this woman made her frown—and made her stay in the living room instead of heading back to the bedroom after finishing he
I wish it were you Chapter 1027 They Might Hear Us
Annabelle’s face flushed bright red.What the VP was implying—any adult could understand.She could feel the ambiguous gazes of the others, making her even more embarrassed.Kendrick gave a cold “tsk” and glanced at his vice president. “If you can’t come up with a good idea later, I’m holding you responsible.”“lol, no problem!”he replied heartily.Kendrick looked at Annabelle and smiled. “Come on, I’ll take you to the room.”He took her hand and led her into the bedroom.Once the door closed, Annabelle hurriedly explained, “I didn’t know you were in a meeting—mmph…”Before she could finish, Kendrick had already pinned her against the door, capturing her lips in a deep, heated kiss.Annabelle couldn’t handle such intensity and felt like she was suffocating. She lightly patted his shoulder, signaling him to stop.Kendrick pulled back just slightly, his lips still brushing hers as he whispered, “Anna, I’m really happy you came to see me.”She lowered her head, biting her lip, but he gen
I wish it were you Chapter 1026 Sudden Attack
Dereon wore a black baseball cap, head down, looking rushed as he headed toward the boarding gate.He was about to board a flight to North City.His phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he answered, “Young Master, I’m about to board… understood…”At that moment, a familiar figure brushed past him. Dereon paused, frowning as he turned to look back.The crowd was bustling with passengers preparing to board. That fleeting figure was now nowhere to be seen. Had he imagined it?But even if it really was Annabelle, she was walking in the opposite direction of the boarding line, which meant she wasn’t getting on this flight.As long as she didn’t interfere, everything would be fine.He continued the call, “Yes, I’m listening, Young Master… Don’t worry. Tomorrow morning, just wait and watch the news.”After hanging up, he proceeded with the check-in process alongside the crowd.Dereon had booked an economy class ticket. Once on the plane, he turned off his phone and began mentally reviewing ev
I wish it were you Chapter 1025 The Darkness Before Dawn
Julissa curled herself into the blanket.For Scott, that bar was the place they first met—perhaps even where he fell in love with her at first sight. It was a beautiful memory.But for Julissa, it remained a grey area she had never managed to escape.Whenever she thought about how a stranger had taken her to a hotel that night, how she had lost her virginity there, and might have even been photographed or recorded, her scalp tingled with regret and dread.She used to want revenge on that gigolo, but now, the thing she feared most was encountering him again.She just hoped that incident would stay buried in the past, never to be mentioned again.She held up her left hand in front of her eyes, using the moonlight streaming through the window to look at the ring Scott had given her. She really liked him—loved him—and she hoped he would never find out about that foolish mistake she had made...After leaving the bedroom, Scott went to the dining room. He poured himself half a glass of whis
I wish it were you Chapter 1024 Then Don’t Say It
Julissa looked at him timidly, seemingly wanting to comfort him but not knowing where to start.She bit her lip and carefully asked, “Did you have a fight with Auntie?”“You heard something?”Julissa’s eyes became even more nervous. “Mr. Nichols, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. Please don’t be mad…”Only then did Scott realize that he had sounded a bit harsh due to his anxiety, and it had clearly scared her.“Fool, I’m not blaming you.” He pulled Julissa into his arms. “What did you hear?”“I just heard you say that when Julian had a high fever as a child, you took him to get an IV and stuff…”Scott let out a sigh of relief. It seemed like Julissa had only heard the latter part.As long as she didn’t hear the earlier part.Earlier, when he arrived at the apartment building, he had deliberately tricked her, saying he wasn’t coming back, just to play a joke on her—but he ended up scaring her to tears.That’s when he realized that Julissa had been hurt before by Liam and lacked a sense of se
I wish it were you Chapter 1023 Don’t Be Too Bold
Julissa immediately said, “I’ve got a great memory, Mr. Nichols, so don’t you go back on your word.”“I won’t. I’ll give it to you in a bit.”Julissa had been eagerly waiting for so long, but he was still teasing her. She wasn’t happy about that. “Mr. Nichols, if your ‘little surprise’ isn’t worth at least a few hundred thousand, you’ll owe me big time for all this waiting.”Scott chuckled, “Isn’t that a bit low of a bar? Just a few hundred thousand is enough?”Julissa ignored him. To a capitalist like him, money was just a meaningless number—completely irrational. What she really wanted to know now was: what exactly was this surprise gift?Since he said he’d give it to her later, it had to be a physical item.“Mr. Nichols, just let me see it now, please? Why wait? I’ve been waiting all night!”But no matter how she pouted or pleaded, Scott stayed calm and composed. He simply said, “Be good. I’ll give it to you once we’re in bed.”Julissa started wondering—what kind of gift could only
I wish it were you Chapter 1022 He Knows No Restraint
Julissa cast a sidelong glance at the takeout bags. One large box of fried chicken, two cans of premixed peach cocktails—her favorite—and… a bowl of Frozen yogurt?Wait. Frozen yogurt?She remembered eyeing it longingly when they passed that shop on the way home. She hadn’t said a word though, especially once Mr. Nichols had already driven past. She hadn’t had the heart to ask him to turn back.But clearly, he’d noticed.Looking at Scott again, the fury in her heart had significantly waned.He pulled out the yogurt and looked at her with an arched brow. “Not eating, huh?”Julissa huffed and turned her head away dramatically.As if she'd surrender to the wicked capitalist for just a bowl of yogurt.Scott shrugged, “Guess I’ll eat it, then. Can’t let it melt. Would be a waste.”She rolled her eyes inwardly. As if he—Mr. Perfectionist—would ever stoop to eating something as common as a street snack.But then… he actually started eating it.Julissa's brows furrowed as she peeked at him. H
