I wish it were you Chapter 1190 There's Something Even More Surprising
“I like this one better,” Julissa replied without hesitation.Scott curved his lips into a smile but didn’t respond, simply driving the car out of the parking space.Julissa glanced sideways at the man beside her, only then realizing—ah, so he was still bothered about her ‘date’ with Lucas.Hadn’t he already figured out that she did it to fool him on purpose?Tch, so petty!The car exited the underground garage of the train station and drove into the quiet nighttime streets of Shadelake.Julissa rolled down the window and gazed out. Right now, she was entirely at the mercy of Scott—wherever he wanted to take her, she would go.So she didn’t bother asking about their destination. Most likely, it’d just be some fancy hotel.Scott glanced at her and lowered the convertible top.The evening air was mild and clean. Julissa took a deep breath and tilted her head up to admire the night sky.A bright moon hung high above, scattered stars twinkling beside it.She couldn’t help but sigh. Life i
I wish it were you Chapter 1189 You Can’t Escape Anyway
Julissa turned around, staring at the man beside her in disbelief. “Mr. Nichols… why are you here?”Scott raised his hand and flicked her forehead.“What, it’s okay for you to run but not okay for me to chase you?”Julissa rubbed her forehead, thoroughly confused. “But… but you—”“But you’re wondering how I knew you were running away, right?”She nodded quickly. Yeah, she hadn’t felt like she left any clues.Scott gave her a look like she was hopeless. “Julissa, don’t assume I’m as dumb as you.”As he spoke, he took off his suit jacket and casually rolled up the cuffs of his dress shirt.Julissa pouted slightly. Okay, fine, you’re handsome and you know it. But did you have to take a jab at me while you’re showing off?Her escape plan flopped so fast it made her question her own intelligence.She’d thought once she went into hiding, Scott would eventually find her—it was just a matter of time.But reality was cruel: she didn’t even get to the “hide” part.He knew everything—train numbe
I wish it were you Chapter 1188 Running Away
So what he meant was, if she slept in the guest room, Scott would follow her there too?Julissa took a deep breath. She didn’t respond to Scott’s suggestion, only muttered dully, “Alright, I’m hanging up now,” then hastily ended the call.Tossing her phone aside, she rubbed her temples. What a complete failure, Julissa. Alcohol really was not a good thing.But she couldn’t delay any longer. If this went on, her relationship with Scott would start to warm back up—and what breakup would there be then?The longer she stayed by his side, the more reluctant she would be to leave.So she made up her mind: she would leave today.She wasn’t even going to say goodbye in person. Saying goodbye might mean she wouldn’t be able to leave at all. Better to take advantage of how busy Scott was today—he wouldn’t have time to keep an eye on her. She’d slip away quietly.As for where she’d go, she already had a plan.Over the past few days, she had been preparing for this. Her “escape” plan was her Plan
I wish it were you Chapter 1187 Don’t Send Me a Wedding Invitation
There was a bathroom in the bedroom, so Julissa headed straight in.After finishing, she splashed her face with cold water and shook her head. When she looked up at the mirror, her reflection was doubled.Uh-oh. I might actually be drunk this time.It was clear she wasn’t making it out tonight. Fine, I’ll leave tomorrow then, she told herself, planning to go sleep in her own room.She stepped out of the bathroom and headed for the door, completely forgetting there was still a wolf waiting for her outside.Just as she reached the entryway, Scott grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall.“Where are you going?” he asked, as his burning lips pressed against her neck.His kisses made her body flush, a tingling heat spreading under her skin like ants crawling inside her.“Mr. Nichols… what are we even doing…” she asked helplessly, voice thick with tears. “Break-up sex?”Scott lifted his head, gazing into her eyes. He chuckled lowly. “You know quite a bit, huh.”So… she was right?R
I wish it were you Chapter 1186 Nonviolent Resistance
The next morning, Julissa sleepily stumbled into the bathroom. She was planning to crawl back into bed for a little more rest—only to be pulled into a tight embrace by Scott.He wanted her.Throughout the whole thing, she kept her eyes shut and refused to look at him. She cooperated, but showed no sign of enjoyment.She could feel it—he was trying to wake her up with the intensity of his movements. Or maybe, he was trying to force a reaction out of her.But Julissa had made up her mind. She was going to give him the cold shoulder until they broke up.Afterward, Scott leaned against her shoulder, his voice low and hoarse."Julissa, let’s see how long you can keep this up."She kept her eyes shut, terrified that opening them would cause her to cave.And so, a few days passed. Her foot was no longer hurting, and she could technically return to work. But how could someone planning to resign just go back to work like nothing had happened?Scott acted no different than usual. Even though sh
I wish it were you Chapter 1185 Mr. Nichols Refuses Her “Good Guy” Card
Julissa grabbed a nearby cushion and hugged it to her chest, trying to cover herself—just a little.Maybe Mr. Nichols was too clever. Or maybe her acting was just terrible. Either way, her little performance—pretending to cheat on him with Lucas—had been completely seen through.Well, no use pretending anymore. What needed to be said still had to be said."Mr. Nichols, I want to talk to you."But Scott casually pulled the cushion out of her arms and tossed it aside. Then, he grabbed her ankles and dragged her beneath him."Alright," he said calmly, "What do you want to talk about?"Julissa now lay flat on the sofa, with Scott looming over her, his body hovering above hers.The position was incredibly suggestive, so much so that she couldn't get a single word out.But Julissa forced herself to take a deep breath, trying to appear as indifferent and cold as she had been the past few days. “Mr. Nichols, I think we—”Before she could finish, Scott began unbuttoning his shirt.Julissa paus
I wish it were you Chapter 1184 The Unsolvable Problem
Julissa knew that Scott's subordinate, Adam, had been secretly following her, reporting everything to Scott in real time.If Scott found out that she had gone on a lake tour with Lucas and stayed in the boat for that long, he would definitely rush back immediately.And if she guessed correctly, he was already waiting for her at home.What kind of stormy confrontation awaited her next, she didn't know.All she knew was that she had to make Scott believe—she didn’t love him anymore, and he shouldn’t waste his love on her. They had to break up, as soon as possible.She walked into the apartment building, her steps growing heavier and heavier.Suppressing her true feelings and pretending not to love anymore—it was truly an exhausting task.But now, Heather had tricked her parents into going on an overseas trip under Scott’s name, using them as leverage to force Julissa into breaking up with him.If she brought up the breakup directly, Scott would surely ask why. Even if she didn’t answer,
I wish it were you Chapter 1183 A Convincing Performance
Julissa understood what Lucas meant—if Scott saw them being this intimate, he would absolutely lose it. But that’s exactly what she *wanted*—she *wanted* Scott to see it.“I’m mentally prepared. You just need to play your part well.”Lucas gave a helpless smile. “Why not just tell him you’re breaking up? Why go through all this torture?”“You don’t get it. If I just said it, he wouldn’t agree. He wouldn’t believe me either.”Scott had even sent Anna to test her attitude earlier, clearly suspecting something had happened to make her act cold on purpose.Julissa hadn’t told Anna anything. She only said she was bored and simply wanted a different kind of life.She wasn’t sure if Anna had passed that message on, but either way, these past few days were her *buffer period* before the breakup. Everything she’d done was to make Scott believe she had truly fallen out of love—so he would *willingly* let go.Lucas shook his head in resignation. “And you think he believes that now?”“That’s why
I wish it were you Chapter 1182 Spoiled Even in Dreams
Soon, Kendrick’s voice came through the phone, “Could it be that crazy woman Heather said something to your Julissa or did something to her?”Scott thought for a moment and replied, “It shouldn’t be related.”He had suspected it before, but Heather had gone abroad, and besides, he’d always had people protecting Julissa.Kendrick let out a thoughtful “hmm” and said, “Right, there’s something about Samuel I was going to tell you tomorrow, but since we’re already on the phone, I’ll say it now.”“Okay, go ahead.”Kendrick went on to say that Samuel’s supermarket chain had serious monopolistic practices locally. Many suppliers could only sell to his stores and were barred from supplying to other chains. The Bureau of Industry and Commerce was currently investigating him, so Scott might as well use this opportunity to stir things up.Scott perked up after hearing this.It really was a good opportunity—Samuel had deep roots locally and considerable backing, so it wasn’t easy to shake him.Bu
