Ariana pursed her lips tightly, her wide eyes filled with confusion.Annabelle's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t help but glance at Kendrick.Kendrick said, "When it comes to matters of principle, Anna will never let her emotions take over. Even if she hates you to the core, she wouldn't stop me from bringing you back to the country. She wouldn’t assume that saving you means I have any romantic feelings for you. That’s one of the reasons I love Anna."To be honest, hearing Kendrick say that made Annabelle feel incredibly touched.But she couldn't deny that there was a slight twinge of jealousy — especially considering how much money he was willing to spend to bring Ariana back.It did feel like Kendrick was being overly generous toward Ariana. Yet that thought only lingered for a mere 0.1 seconds.Annabelle understood perfectly well that Kendrick’s kindness toward Ariana had nothing to do with romance.He was willing to spend so much money simply because it didn’t matter to him

When did the mistakes begin? Ariana asked herself.It seemed like it all started the first time she scarred a girl’s face out of jealousy — simply because the girl was prettier than her.That was also when she learned that no matter what she did, her parents would always use money to clean up her messes.Now, having finally escaped from that nightmare, Ariana knew her retribution was likely far from over.But after everything she had gone through, being able to walk freely alongside Kendrick — even if just for a little while — felt like a kind of satisfaction.Even though she knew the person beside him would never be her.The next day, Kendrick and Annabelle boarded a plane back to Elfhedge.Jax stayed behind to help Ariana with her exit procedures and would return a few days later.Ariana hadn’t spoken much about her grievances with Cael.Annabelle was puzzled by it, but she didn’t dwell on it for long.There were plenty of other things that deserved her attention, and people who mat

Cael had once pursued Miranda, frequently sending her flowers at the university lab. It was during these visits that he crossed paths with Kendrick, which explained why Kendrick found him somewhat familiar.After Miranda’s disappearance, Cael and her parents never gave up searching for her.Eventually, they managed to track down her whereabouts, only to learn that Miranda had passed away six months earlier.She had suffered unimaginable torment and humiliation in the brothel where she had been sold. In the end, her frail body succumbed to a severe illness, and she died without receiving proper medical care.Devastated, Miranda’s parents managed to track down the trafficker who had sold their daughter. They pressed charges, sending him to prison. Following the trail further, they uncovered evidence that Miranda had been assaulted. The gang of thugs responsible were also apprehended and imprisoned.The case seemed closed.But Miranda’s parents and Cael both knew that the trafficker and

"I'm not protecting her. I simply want her to face a fair trial," Kendrick said, pausing as he extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray."Cael, everything that happened back then should end here. You've already done so much for Miranda. Leave the rest to the police — don't pursue meaningless revenge any further."Cael's eyes burned with the fire of vengeance. "And if I refuse?"Kendrick fell silent for a few seconds before responding, "Then I'll have no choice but to use my own means to make you accept my decision."Annabelle glanced at Kendrick, thinking how domineering and unreasonable he could be.While she agreed with his approach, she couldn’t deny that his words sounded awfully tyrannical.Even Coco, her fluffy white cat, seemed displeased, flicking its tail and swatting Kendrick's leg twice."Hiss—" Kendrick winced, then flicked Coco lightly on the forehead. "I see. Grandpa's spoiled you rotten."Then, turning back to Cael, he asked, "Have you made up your mind?"Cael’s tense

The woman lit a slender cigarette, taking a long drag before glancing toward the support pillar behind her.A man in black clothing and a black face mask leaned against it."Miss Pope, it's her, right?""Yes. Memorize her face. Wait for my instructions.""Understood."The man left the pillar and stepped into the nearby SUV.Ada took another puff, then stubbed the cigarette out viciously beneath her heel, grinding it into the pavement.Ever since returning from the Maldives, Ada’s luck had taken a sharp turn for the worse.Willie had dumped her in favor of a new company model, using her behavior on the cruise — particularly her deliberate attempts to humiliate Annabelle — as the excuse. He claimed she had a problematic character.Character issues? Please. Ada had done plenty of similar things before without consequence. The real reason was clear: Willie feared that offending Annabelle might provoke Kendrick’s retaliation.To make matters worse, her old scandalous photos from her early

Julissa briefly imagined what it would be like — getting involved with Scott, starting an office romance?Her heart thumped nervously at the thought.But she quickly shook her head, realizing that if she really became his woman, she might just end up as unpaid labor, without even the prospect of overtime pay. After all, capitalists were bloodsuckers, and Scott didn’t seem inclined to treat her any differently. Why else would he deduct half her salary just because she skipped work once?Thinking about that still made her wince.As for how she’d respond to Scott, Julissa had yet to decide.Sure, every time she saw him, her heart raced.But his status made her hesitate.They came from completely different worlds. She feared that even if they got married, their vastly different backgrounds would lead to constant clashes — from their families to their social circles.And what scared her the most was the thought of throwing herself wholeheartedly into the relationship, only for it to end in

After Annabelle finished paying for the perfume, Julissa followed her curiously.Seeing that Anna had bought two bottles, Julissa asked with a grin, “Is there a discount for buying two?”Anna chuckled. “One’s for you. I thought you’d like it.”Julissa often treated her to meals without letting her pay. Even though they were close friends, Anna still felt a bit guilty about it. Buying a little gift like this was her way of showing her appreciation.Julissa happily sniffed the scent from the test strip, her eyes lighting up. “You know me so well! Mwah!”She puckered her lips playfully and leaned toward Anna, pretending to give her a kiss. Anna laughed and dodged.“Hey, don’t pull this stunt in front of Kendrick, okay?”“Would he even get jealous over that?”Anna nodded seriously. “You never know.”“Well, let him be jealous then. With you on my side, he wouldn’t dare do anything to me!” Julissa grinned, linking her arm with Anna’s.Anna smirked mischievously. “Of course, he can’t touch y

Annabelle didn’t think much of the commotion at first — after all, she wasn’t a big celebrity.But when she overheard the mention of reporters, she instinctively grew wary. Lately, journalists had been relentless in their attempts to corner her.She had hoped that a short trip to the Maldives would help divert their attention. Yet, even after returning, the paparazzi still loitered outside her school, waiting to pounce.Frustrated, Annabelle had no choice but to take her classes remotely from home, avoiding unnecessary exposure.Surely this crowd isn’t for me, she thought, though the unsettling feeling lingered.Curiosity got the better of her. Setting down the store magazine, she walked to the entrance and peeked outside.A sharp-eyed reporter immediately spotted her.“There she is! It’s Annabelle!”Her heart sank. The swarm of people surging toward her was far greater than the usual group at her school. Among them were not just journalists but also bystanders, likely drawn in by the

No one knew how long had passed before peace finally returned to the bedroom.Sunlight slipped through the curtains, casting soft rays across their bed.A thin blanket was draped over Annabelle, her bare shoulders and arms exposed.She had just woken up, already drained of energy, and now her entire body felt sore and weak—as if all strength had left her.Passion could make one forget their troubles for a moment, but once it faded, all those nagging worries returned, one by one.She lay quietly beneath the faint sunlight, watching the play of light and shadow on the bed, lost in thought.“Still upset about breaking the clay doll yesterday?” Kendrick murmured against her shoulder, planting a soft kiss there.Annabelle gave a slight nod, then shook her head.The doll, with its auspicious meaning, had been shattered—it felt unlucky. But more importantly, the incident made her realize something:She and Kendrick had been together for so long, yet they still didn’t have a child.“Why haven
I wish it were you Chapter 1039 Uncle? Sister?
Annabelle shook her head at the little boy. She could tell he hadn’t done it on purpose, so of course she didn’t blame him.At that moment, the boy’s mother arrived. She scolded her son for misbehaving—how could he run off like that before he’d even learned to stop properly?Then she turned to Annabelle and Kendrick, thanking them and apologizing for the broken item. She asked how much the figurines had cost so she could compensate them.Annabelle didn’t want to fuss over it. “It’s fine,” she said. But the woman insisted—her child had broken someone else’s things and she had to pay for it.The clay dolls weren’t cheap. Kendrick glanced at the mother and son, then casually quoted a price: “One hundred fifty.”The woman immediately transferred the money and even pressed her son’s head down, making him apologize.The boy then said again, “Sorry, uncle… sorry, sister…”The corner of Kendrick’s mouth twitched, and he replied coolly, “It’s okay.”Afterward, Annabelle and Kendrick crossed th
I wish it were you Chapter 1038 Wifey's Shy Face
Annabelle suddenly realized that all those rapidly increasing follower counts on her social media—each number represented a real person. And the red bean cake vendor standing in front of her was clearly one of them. This unexpected kindness from a stranger warmed her heart, though it also made her feel a bit embarrassed. No matter what, she decided to pay for the cakes. But no matter what she said, the vendor firmly refused to take her money. There was a line of customers behind her, so she didn't want to keep holding up the queue. Instead, she quickly scanned the QR code, estimated a fair price, and transferred the money to the vendor before leaving with peace of mind. Yet before she’d walked a few steps, the young vendor chased after her, insistently stuffing two extra portions of red bean cakes into her hands. His face was even redder than before. He wanted to look at her, but didn’t dare, scratching his head as he said shyly, “I said I’d give my goddess a freebie, and I me

Linda paused. Marvin couldn’t help asking, “And then?”She snapped back to the present and continued, as if telling someone else’s story.“Luckily, my brother came back. He was a sophomore in college and had just returned home for summer break. He saw that bastard trying to hurt me, grabbed a kitchen knife, and slashed his neck. Blood sprayed all over my face.“He kept hacking at him until the guy couldn’t move anymore. Then he held me and said, ‘Linda, it’s okay now. He’ll never hurt you again.’“After that, my brother was sentenced to death. I was sixteen.“The day he was executed, my grandfather had a stroke and didn’t survive. After the funeral, my stepmother asked for a divorce, and my dad agreed.“The night before their divorce, my dad opened the gas valve. He and my stepmother died of carbon monoxide poisoning.“I spent a month in the hospital but survived. After that… I was on my own. I didn’t really ‘struggle’ in society—I just drifted.

“No way!” Marvin spat out, his voice tight with disbelief. “Anna just finished a jewelry event last night—there’s no way she could be in North City!”“Maybe she flew over after the event?” the reporter offered weakly, desperation creeping into his tone. “Mr. Gregory, if your brother finds out I tried to dig into this… you’ve got to protect me.”“Enough already. I get it.” Marvin snapped, the edge of impatience slicing through his words.“Alright, alright. No time to chat—gotta push the story out before someone else scoops it.” The reporter hung up in a hurry.But he was already too late.Another outlet had already dropped part of the exclusive interview, cleverly holding back the juiciest bits to keep viewers hooked. Within twenty minutes, the full conversation with Kendrick and Annabelle was everywhere.In a private hospital room in Elfhedge, Marvin stared at the news reports, fury radiating off him like heat from asphalt. His phone met the floor with a sickening crack, screen shatte
I wish it were you Chapter 1035 Because She Has a Slim Waist
Annabelle had long known that the reporters were fixated on this topic and would eventually bring it up again.Even though they were blocked from interviewing her at yesterday’s press conference, here they were today.She was just thankful that she wasn’t facing them alone.As for the real reason behind her and Kendrick’s flash marriage, it was simply because she didn’t want to marry a perverted old man, and Kendrick had agreed to marry her because she claimed she could help treat his headaches.Neither of those reasons could be made public. Otherwise, people would assume Kendrick was just a backup plan, and the fact that she knew medicine would be completely exposed.Kendrick might not mind being teased, but if people found out she had medical skills, things would get very complicated.Just imagining it—every time one of Kendrick’s friends or business associates (especially the ones she didn’t like) met her, they'd stick out their wrist without a word and ask for a diagnosis. That wo

After ending the call with Kendrick, Annabelle felt much better.Regardless of how her parents acted, her future was her own. With Kendrick by her side, always considering her needs, she already felt content with her life.Still feeling drowsy, she lay on the bed for a while and ended up falling back asleep. When she finally woke again, it was hunger that roused her.She planned to get up and find something to eat.Looking around, she couldn’t see where her clothes had gone. A white T-shirt, clearly Kendrick’s, was draped over the sofa beside the bed.She got out of bed barefoot and slipped the oversized T-shirt over her head.Kendrick was tall, so the shirt was long enough to cover her hips. Loose and casual.She walked to the dining area and spotted the lunch Kendrick mentioned. She was about to warm it up in the microwave when she suddenly heard commotion outside the door—lots of voices.She vaguely made out someone calling, “Mr. Gregory…”Was he back? She didn’t dare open the door
I wish it were you Chapter 1033 Who Told You to Do It?
Annabelle's personal social media account was gaining followers at an explosive rate—so fast it could give someone high blood pressure.For her, this kind of media exposure was obviously a great thing.You could say that Alice had practically sacrificed herself to boost Annabelle’s popularity.Not only did the incident showcase Anna’s personal capabilities, but it also unintentionally promoted Murphy Jewelry—an unexpected wave of free publicity.Under this trending topic, netizens began checking out the pieces shown at Murphy Jewelry’s latest press conference.Many even tagged her: “Supporting Anna! Already bought it!”Similar comments were flooding in.Out of curiosity, Annabelle checked the e-commerce platform authorized by Murphy Jewelry.To her surprise, 80% of the newly released items from the previous night were already sold out.No wonder that last time, when she was being slammed online, Kendrick didn’t suppress the news but instead flipped the narrative and gained popularity

Actually, Kendrick had already grown suspicious when breakfast was delivered.The strange eye contact between the two servers caught his attention, especially the male server who looked somewhat familiar.Previously, when Kendrick was negotiating business with an important partner at a hotel in Elfhedge, Ryan launched a surprise attack. That was also when Anna took a tranquilizer dart for him.During that confrontation, Kendrick vaguely remembered a face just like this—handsome, with thick brows and big eyes. He looked honest and trustworthy, which was exactly the kind of appearance that lowered one’s guard.But Kendrick couldn’t be sure if it was the same person.The call he made to Jaime was to have him investigate the people who had just delivered the food.If it was the same person, then Ryan was making another move against him.As for whether the breakfast was actually poisoned, Kendrick had only suspected it at the time—he wasn’t certain.He also thought, if Ryan really wanted t
