I wish it were you Chapter 730 Grateful for Her Innocence
Before hanging up, Annabelle suddenly remembered something else. She quickly said, “Oh, right, Young Master! My body has completely recovered now. Thank you for the medicine you gave me!”“Is that so? That’s good to hear…”The Young Master’s voice carried a trace of warmth, and Annabelle didn’t detect anything unusual. She simply thought he was genuinely happy for her.“Anna, I have some matters to attend to. Let’s talk later.”With that, the call ended.Annabelle carefully saved his number in her phone.Having cleared the air with the Young Master, she felt a great sense of relief.For so long, she had held onto the idea that when she grew up, she would follow the Young Master forever, repaying him for saving her life.But now that she had grown up, she had a home of her own and Kendrick by her side. She could no longer follow the Young Master. The best she could do was keep her gratitude in her heart and wait for a future opportunity to repay him.The Young Master’s reaction had bee

Annabelle flashed a mischievous smile. “That’s not necessarily true. If you bully me, I might just walk away anytime. And when I do, I’ll take half of your fortune and ruin your reputation.”With that, she tossed her hair dramatically, pulling the silky strands from Kendrick’s fingers.The soft sensation slipping away left Kendrick feeling an unexpected emptiness, stirring a fierce desire to reclaim the little temptress who danced so playfully on his heartstrings.“So powerful, huh? Then I guess, to prevent you from taking my fortune, I’ll just have to treat you like a treasure.” He leaned in and playfully bit her neck.Annabelle squirmed from the ticklish sensation, her laughter ringing out.It was the first time Kendrick had seen her laugh so freely.It seemed the Young Master had indeed been a heavy weight on her heart.But now that Ryan had verbally claimed to let go, Kendrick knew better — it was nothing more than a tactical retreat.Ryan understood Annabelle’s nature. The more h

Dereon led Seraphina back into Ryan’s office.Seraphina lifted her head to face the man she both deeply loved and deeply feared.Ryan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, backlit by the pale light. Shadows cast across his face, and his dark eyes gleamed with an icy sharpness, as though piercing straight through her.Her heart pounded wildly, and fear crept through her veins.She thought back to the years she had spent by his side. She had witnessed his transformation from a frail young man, enduring humiliation and illness, into the powerful figure that now commanded fear across the empire.She ached for the suffering he had endured and admired the unyielding strength that had brought him to this moment.If today was the day he decided to kill her, Seraphina suddenly thought, perhaps dying by his hand would not be the worst fate.With that thought, her fear dulled.Forcing herself to meet his eyes, she spoke, “Young Master, what do you need?”“Come here.”She took two steps forward.

Three days later, Annabelle, Kendrick, and Jax left the Maldives. Since there were no direct flights, they had to transfer in Thailand. Upon arrival, a flight delay extended their time at the airport. Knowing that Anna had never been to Thailand before, Kendrick suggested they explore Bangkok instead of wasting time waiting. They soon found themselves on a bustling street filled with local delicacies and an array of tropical fruits. Anna’s curiosity was piqued — everything looked enticing, and she wanted to try it all. Kendrick walked beside her, paying for whatever caught her eye, while Jax trailed behind, keeping watch. The vibrant pedestrian street was crowded, a mix of tourists and locals. Even with two tall men guarding her, Anna unknowingly became the target of a pickpocket. While she was browsing through souvenirs at a small stall, someone suddenly bumped into her. She stumbled, instinctively falling into Kendrick’s arms. In that brief moment, she felt a tug at her side.

Noticing Kendrick’s tense expression, Annabelle quickly asked, “What happened?”Kendrick held her hand firmly. “Nothing serious. The phone’s been recovered. Jax ran into someone he knows. We’re going to check it out.”After taking a few steps, he turned back and instructed, “Put your mask on and don’t stray from my side. Not even a step. Got it?”His sudden seriousness made Anna uneasy. “Where are we going?”Kendrick’s lips pressed into a thin line. “You’ll see soon.”Though puzzled, Anna obediently pulled on her mask. Kendrick even tugged her cap’s brim lower, as if determined to shield her face from view.After turning a couple of corners, they found themselves on a street illuminated by neon lights, alive with music and laughter. It was only then that Annabelle realized — they were in Bangkok’s largest red-light district.No wonder Kendrick had insisted on covering her up. He clearly didn’t want other men ogling her in a place like this.This notorious street was a chaotic mix of p

Annabelle immediately understood that Kendrick was asking Jax about the acquaintance he had encountered."Second floor of the bar," Jax replied."Lead the way."Jax stubbed out his cigarette and led the way inside, with Kendrick and Annabelle following closely behind.They passed through a dimly lit hallway and entered a lively dance floor. Annabelle was instantly stunned.On the center stage, a group of exotic dancers performed provocatively, surrounded by a crowd of enthusiastic men. The dancers moved with seductive grace, their scantily clad bodies shimmering under the flashing lights.Anna had never seen such a scene in real life. Unable to resist her curiosity, she kept staring.Noticing this, Kendrick tugged her cap’s brim lower, blocking her view. "I’m not even looking, but you seem pretty interested."She pursed her lips, feeling a little indignant. Just because I’ve never seen it before, I can’t be curious?He wouldn’t let her look at men — fine. But now, even watching women

Kendrick glanced at Annabelle and gently pulled her into his arms."Ariana was once our friend and a citizen of our country. Finding her in a place like this, of course, I’ll do what I can to help her return home. But I also need to find out what happened."Annabelle nodded in agreement.At that moment, she felt more sympathy for Ariana than anything else. Regardless of what had happened between them in the past, her resentment had never been strong enough to wish for such a terrible fate to befall Ariana.She supported Kendrick’s decision to rescue Ariana. The problem was—would it be that easy?Sensing her concern, Kendrick reassured her, "Most problems in this world can be solved with money. And in places like this, money works especially well. Don’t worry."As they spoke, Jax returned."Boss, the owner of this place wants to have a word with you," Jax said.Kendrick cast a long glance in the direction of the private booth where Ariana had gone earlier. Then, tightening his hold on

Kendrick remained silent for a moment before continuing, "Whatever the reason, you don't need to worry. I'll make sure you return to the country safely. Once you're back, no one will know what happened to you."His tone was as calm as ever, as though nothing had changed between them. It was as if he, Ariana, Scott, and Seamus were still the close friends they once were.Ariana forced a bitter smile. "Kendrick, why do you still care about me?"She shifted her gaze to Annabelle. "Seeing me like this, shouldn't you be pleased?"Annabelle pursed her lips, remaining silent. She knew this conversation was between Kendrick and Ariana, and she had no intention of getting involved.Kendrick answered, "If you had truly given up on yourself, I wouldn't interfere. But you clearly haven't. I want to help you because we were once friends.""Friends," Ariana repeated, her voice hollow as she let out a dry laugh."Do you know? Lisa targeted Annabelle again and again because I encouraged her. I helped

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
I wish it were you Chapter 1066 Anna Is Afraid of Him
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.
I wish it were you Chapter 1063 Payback in Double
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
I wish it were you Chapter 1062 Coming Straight to the Door
"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
