I wish it were you의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1181 - 챕터 1190

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

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,

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

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 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
