I wish it were you Chapter 750 Take Me to See Them
"You’re awake?" Kendrick’s voice came from beside her. Annabelle turned to look—he was sitting at her bedside, watching her with worry."Julissa…""She’s fine. They managed to save her.""Are you lying to me?"Annabelle clearly remembered—the doctor had shaken his head.Kendrick gently cupped her face, smiling. "If you weren’t still hooked up to an IV, I’d carry you over to see her right now.""Julissa is really okay?" Annabelle was so overwhelmed that she tried to sit up, but Kendrick pressed her back down."When have I ever lied to you? She lost a lot of blood and underwent surgery, so she’s still unconscious and needs to be observed for another two days."To Annabelle, this news was like a drowning person gasping for their first breath of air."I want to see her."She tried to get up again, but Kendrick gently held her down."She’s in the ICU. You won’t be able to go in. Just rest for now, and once you’ve finished your IV, I’ll take you there."Hearing him say this, Annabelle final

The two of them arrived at the basement. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Jax was already there waiting."Madam." Jax didn't ask too many questions, but his concern was evident."I'm fine," Annabelle assured him.Jax nodded.Kendrick turned to his furious little wife and told her that Ada and the man were locked in separate rooms. He asked her which one she wanted to deal with first.Annabelle hesitated for a moment. "I'll see Ada first."Seeing the murderous aura around her, Jax started to wonder—if Madam really took care of Ada and that criminal, how was he supposed to clean up the mess afterward?Under Jax’s guidance, Annabelle arrived at Ada's room."Do you need me to go in with you?" Kendrick asked."No.""Do you want a knife?" he asked again.Annabelle frowned at him. "Not necessary."With that, she stepped into the room.Kendrick and Jax stood outside. Jax glanced in, a bit worried.Kendrick casually lit a cigarette. Soon, a loud slap rang out.Then, Annabelle’s voi

Jax led them to the door where the attacker was being held. As he opened it, he turned to Kendrick. “Boss, let me handle it instead. No need to dirty your hands.”“No need.”Kendrick had to personally deal with the bastard who had dared to hurt his woman. Nothing else would satisfy his rage.Just as he was about to step inside, Annabelle called out, “Wait a moment.”“What is it?”“Don’t kill him.” As his wife, she gently reminded him.No matter how despicable that man was, if he died, it would truly stain Kendrick’s hands. She didn’t want him to become a butcher drenched in blood for her sake.Kendrick nodded. “Understood.”He opened the door, stepped in, and shut it behind him. Through the small glass window, Annabelle peeked inside. The room seemed to be a storage room, with filing cabinets lining both sides. The man sat on the floor, hands and feet tied.Kendrick entered, took out a knife, and sliced through the ropes binding him. Then, he tossed the knife aside.Annabelle frowned,

Annabelle walked up to the observation window outside the ICU. Through the glass, she saw Liam sitting beside Julissa’s bed, dressed in a sterile gown.He held Julissa’s hands in his, pressing them against his forehead.He looked extremely worried, as if silently praying for her recovery.Annabelle sighed. She knew that although Liam and Julissa had broken up, his feelings for her hadn’t changed.In the past, he had always treated Julissa like a little sister, pampering her—not out of romantic love, but out of familial affection. After their breakup, this sentiment didn’t disappear. Instead, it carried a layer of guilt for not reciprocating her feelings.That was why, even after breaking up, Liam had never stopped keeping an eye on Julissa’s life.He no longer pretended to be her boyfriend, but he truly cared for her like a brother.With something so serious happening to Julissa, there was no way Liam wouldn’t come.But whether Julissa would appreciate his presence was another matter.

Annabelle added, “Auntie, there’s no need to be so polite. If you need anything, just let us know.”Mrs. Hickman smiled sheepishly and said, “Well, actually… I just wanted to ask, Mr. Gregory, do you happen to know any outstanding young men like yourself? Maybe you could introduce one to our Julissa?”Annabelle, who had been feeling rather heavy-hearted, instantly brightened up at those words. She almost burst out laughing.Mr. Gregory was quite the catch, it seemed—he had won Mrs. Hickman’s approval in no time.Even though Mrs. Hickman wasn’t her biological mother, and they had only met twice, for some reason, Annabelle felt an inexplicable warmth toward her, as if she were family.So when Mrs. Hickman praised Kendrick, Annabelle couldn’t help but feel proud.She even wanted to tell Mrs. Hickman that there happened to be a wonderful man, Mr. Nichols, who was already pursuing Julissa!But since Julissa hadn’t accepted Scott yet, she decided to keep quiet for now.Kendrick’s expression

Mrs. Hickman suddenly asked, “Oh, where’s the chicken soup? You didn’t forget, did you?” “Of course not! You’ve reminded me at least a hundred times—I wouldn’t dare forget,” Mr. Hickman replied, pulling out a food container and handing it over. Mrs. Hickman then passed the insulated container to Anna. “Your Uncle Hickman made this fresh this morning. You and Mr. Gregory worked hard yesterday, so you need something nutritious.” Annabelle felt a bit embarrassed to accept it, but Mrs. Hickman was very insistent. Mr. Hickman also reassured her, saying they had made an extra portion. There was enough for both of them, and if Julissa woke up in the evening and the doctor allowed her to eat, there would still be a portion left for her. Since it was a heartfelt gesture from the elders, Annabelle no longer refused and accepted it gratefully, thanking them sincerely. Kendrick then took the insulated container from her, carrying it himself. Anna decided to head back. She told Mr. and Mrs.

Jaime was completely at a loss for words. He didn’t dare outright refuse—after all, Miss Hickman was Madam’s friend. She was beautiful, sharp, and had even been a ballet dancer before. Talented and accomplished—what reason did he have to refuse? But he also didn’t dare agree. If he nodded, Mr. Nichols would surely have his head. At this moment, Annabelle finally understood what Kendrick was getting at. Yeah, why wasn’t Scott here yet? Was he really too tied up with work? After that, Jaime helped Annabelle with the discharge procedures, and she and Kendrick returned to the hospital room to pack up. During this time, Kendrick made a call to Scott and put it on speaker, so Anna could eavesdrop on some gossip. “Where are you?” Kendrick’s tone wasn’t exactly friendly. Annabelle pinched him, reminding him to mind his attitude. Kendrick held her hand, signaling her to stay put and not interrupt. “Tokyo.” Scott’s voice was cold as ever. “How’s Julissa?” “She’s still unconscious. Th

Afterward, Jaime came to the hospital room and informed them that they could leave. Annabelle took Kendrick’s car back to Lavender Villa, while Jaime drove back her little white car, which had been left in the mall parking lot the night before. He used the opportunity to report to Kendrick on some work matters. Once the three of them arrived at Lavender Villa, Jaime sat in the living room and began briefing Kendrick on Ada’s situation. Since it involved Annabelle, she stayed to listen as well. Hearing the report, Annabelle couldn’t help but admire Jaime’s efficiency. At the same time, she finally understood why Ada had targeted her—it all stemmed from Ada’s own misdeeds. After joining Willie’s company as a model, Ada relied on Willie’s favoritism and her own rising popularity to act out recklessly. She bossed around and bullied junior models, treating them poorly. One of these models, Susie, had harbored resentment toward her for a long time. She secretly dug up dirt on Ada’s pas

I wish it were you Chapter 1050 Help from an Ex-Boyfriend
Julissa wondered—could it be that Scott didn’t have a membership card and had used Heather’s instead?She temporarily stepped away from the front desk and sat in the lounge area, trying to figure out what to do next.Technically, she could just call Scott and ask him to bring her in.But she didn’t want to do that. She wanted to show up unannounced, catch them off guard, and completely disrupt their rhythm.And besides, if she were stopped outside and had to wait for Scott to come out and fetch her, it would feel like she had already lost to Heather in terms of presence and pride.So, that plan was a no-go.Should she just wait until they came out? But the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she felt.Why should she waste her time waiting around like this while they got to enjoy their date?Just as she was lost in frustration, a male voice called out to her.“Julissa?”Julissa closed her eyes. She didn’t even need to turn around—the voice alone was enough to know who it was.S
I wish it were you Chapter 1049 Too Embarrassing
Julissa quickly grabbed Scott’s hand. “Don’t worry about it.”He curled his lips into a smile and obediently let go, then swept her up into his arms and carried her back to the bed…The next morning, Julissa sat up, rubbing her throbbing temples and aching body—only to find the bed empty.Sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains onto her body. She glanced at the clock on the nightstand. Eleven a.m.Crap! She was late!No, this wasn’t just being late—she’d completely skipped work!“Mr. Nichols?” she called toward the bedroom door. No response. Clearly, the big boss had already gone to the office.She reached for her phone by the pillow—then suddenly remembered she’d used it to record video last night. Scott had gone to take a shower, and she’d been so exhausted she’d fallen asleep without even thinking about it.The phone had to still be on the windowsill.Barefoot, she got out of bed and pulled back the curtain. Sure enough, the phone was still there, screen down and nearly burnin
I wish it were you Chapter 1048 Seduction, Well-Planned
After dinner, they cleaned up the kitchen together. Then Scott went to take a shower, while Julissa headed to the bedroom.She placed her phone on the windowsill, hidden behind the curtain. Only a sheer layer covered it—just enough to keep things from being too explicit. As long as his voice was clearly captured, a blurry image would actually be even better.After all, the last thing she wanted was for every man at his future wedding to see her naked on the big screen.Yes—she was going to record her night with Mr. Nichols.Just like those classic evil ex-girlfriends in dramas, she planned to send the footage straight to his future wife. And better yet—broadcast it at their wedding.Sure, this move was one of those you hurt me, I’ll destroy us both kind of deals.But whatever. She, Julissa, was just a nobody, a little shrimp in the vast sea of high society. Once she left this circle, she could go back to her own little life.Even if she couldn't return to a peaceful life, she would do
I wish it were you Chapter 1047 Definitely Hiding Something
Julissa was startled by his sudden move. She quickly turned around and smiled at Scott. “Maybe my period is coming. I’m just feeling a little low.”He paused for a second, as if just realizing what she meant by “period,” then gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.“You girls get emotional because of that?”Julissa forced a small smile. “Of course. We get moody, feel down for no reason, and crave all kinds of heavy flavors.”Scott raised an eyebrow. “Oh? So what’s Julissa craving today?”Julissa immediately sensed where this was going and shot him a glare. “Definitely not what you’re thinking.”“What am I thinking?” Scott’s gaze lingered on her lips, a mischievous smile spreading across his face.Truth be told, Julissa wasn’t in the mood to flirt, so she backed away slightly. “Mr. Nichols, behave yourself…”He didn’t answer. Instead, he leaned in and kissed her.Julissa wanted to push him away, but her hands were covered in marinade and seasoning from preparing the fish.
I wish it were you Chapter 1046 Marriage Without Freedom
That one sentence struck deep.Instinctively, Julissa glanced at the ring on her left middle finger, thinking of what Scott had said to her.That night, when he gave her the ring, he had told her it wasn’t an engagement ring—just something to wear for now, and that when the time came for a proposal, he would give her something even better.She believed his words.So even though what Mrs. Nichols just said shocked her, and even brought a momentary pang to her chest, she didn’t believe it.“How do you know he won’t marry me?”Honestly, Julissa even wanted to ask, How do you know I’d definitely agree to marry him? A girl’s got her pride too.But now wasn’t the time to nitpick. She just wanted to know where Mrs. Nichols got the confidence to say so definitively that Scott wouldn’t marry her.Mrs. Nichols didn’t seem like the type to lie, and that only made Julissa more determined to find out the truth.“Then I’ll be blunt,” Mrs. Nichols said. “Tomorrow at 7 p.m., he’s going to meet Miss H
I wish it were you Chapter 1045 Facing It Calmly
Walking beside Mrs. Nichols was another senior executive from the Nichols Group, one of the company’s veterans. The two of them were chatting and laughing, clearly in good spirits.Why is Mrs. Nichols still here? Has she been at the company the whole day?But then again, she was the former president’s wife. It was only natural for her to be on familiar terms with the old guard.Julissa quickly lowered her head, pretending she hadn’t seen anything, hoping Mrs. Nichols hadn’t noticed her either.She scrolled aimlessly through her phone, clearly distracted. She knew she should go up and greet her, but kept telling herself there was no point in exchanging a few perfunctory words. Better to stay in ostrich mode.More importantly, she was feeling guilty—her first impression with her future mother-in-law had been far from ideal. Or maybe it was just that Mrs. Nichols had such an overwhelming presence that Julissa dreaded facing her alone.She couldn’t help but wonder again—what kind of man m
I wish it were you Chapter 1044 Mr. Nichols Is Just Too Wicked
Julissa truly felt like she could never win against this man. Talking to him was like navigating a minefield—one careless step, and she’d fall right into his trap.But it was still working hours, after all. Julissa thought his sudden surge of interest was way too unexpected, leaving her flustered and completely unprepared.“Mr. Nichols, what do you take me for?” she asked, breathless.“What do I take you for?”As each button was slowly undone, Julissa felt like her face was about to combust.“I’m not the kind of woman who’d… who’d just let herself get harassed for a bonus!”“Then just pretend you’re harassing me,” Scott said casually.Julissa blinked. That’s allowed?But actually, if she flipped the roles in her mind—if she imagined herself as the one taking advantage of him—somehow, it felt a bit more tolerable.Scott’s hands didn’t stop moving. They were already at her waist. “Besides,” he murmured, “you went back on your word. There’s got to be a price for that.”Julissa was hot an
I wish it were you Chapter 1043 Just Her, No Bonus
Kendrick resumed his earlier position, leaning against the headboard. “The Nichols family still has some unresolved issues—they’re definitely in no place to plan a wedding right now.”“I see…” Annabelle nodded thoughtfully. “But Julissa’s dad also said they had to be together for at least a year before they could get married, just to prevent them from being impulsive.”Kendrick didn’t respond further. He got out of bed and walked around to Annabelle’s side, scooping her up in his arms.“What are you doing now?” Annabelle asked in alarm.Kendrick chuckled helplessly. “Time to wash up, remember? You said your legs were too weak to walk.”…The Next Morning, Times GroupWhen Julissa went to the staff lounge to get water, she overheard her colleagues excitedly chatting about their quarterly bonuses.When they saw her, they couldn't help gossiping. They said that Miss Hickman had been working overtime again and had even completed another project, so her bonus would surely be substantial.J
I wish it were you Chapter 1042 It's Not About Wanting or Not
That morning, after Agatha left the the Whitney Group, she died in a car accident that afternoon.The killer wasn’t Dereon, and it certainly wasn’t Ryan. Since he had promised to let her go, he wasn’t someone who would go back on his word.But Ryan knew exactly who did it—because right after Agatha’s death, he received a phone call.On the other end, the man said coldly, “Little Ryan, this is how you deal with traitors.”Ryan understood—this was a warning. A warning that if he dared to betray them, dared to spare Kendrick again, then whether it was Ryan himself, Anna, or anyone close to him, they’d all end up like Agatha.At this point, it was no longer a matter of wanting to kill Kendrick or not—it was something he had to do.Otherwise, the one who would die… would be him.Ryan downed his drink in one gulp.Dereon continued, “Young Master, I’m grateful you didn’t punish me and only assigned me overseas. But I still don’t think I did anything wrong. And that Sid—how could he possibly
