I wish it were you의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1231 - 챕터 1240

The young master was momentarily stunned by her question. Then, his expression cooled as he said, “If you hadn’t come, I would’ve just gotten myself drunk and pretended to be out of it to leave. But since you showed up, and things developed to that point, I went with the flow and changed the plan.”Thinking back to the kiss they just shared, Seraphina couldn’t help but grumble inwardly—*Well, that kiss was certainly part of the plan too, huh?*Now that everything was out in the open, the two of them stood facing each other in silence, awkward tension settling in the room. Seraphina quickly averted her gaze. Her eyes landed on the large bed behind the young master, with two pillows at the head… the atmosphere instantly turned even more ambiguous.“Are we staying here tonight?” she asked.“Looks like it,” he replied.Seraphina gave a small nod. The young master was clearly committed to playing out the entire act, leaving no holes in the story. That way, no one would ever suspect him.Bu

Seraphina thought back to Deven’s behavior last night. He seemed to have brought a female companion, but they didn't show any intimate or inappropriate behavior.Thinking about the coordination between Deven and the young master, yes, Seraphina felt that Deven was clearly cooperating with the young master last night.When the young master needed to leave the scene, Deven gave him a way out, sparing him from suspicion.If Deven knew about the young master’s plan, then naturally, he would have found a way to slip away before the reporters arrived.“Young master, is Deven on our side?”The young master glanced at her, a hint of admiration in his eyes.“Mm. I needed someone on the inside to cooperate with me, so I asked Young Mr. Cowan for help.”Seraphina was confused—why would Deven help them?She didn’t remember the young master and Deven being particularly close.The young master explained that he met Deven while playing golf.They were both members of the same golf club, and during o

Annabelle immediately recognized the young man in sportswear—it was Deven.Deven paused in surprise when he saw her, then said, “Anna, why are you here by yourself? Hasn’t Kendrick arrived yet?”“He might be stuck in traffic. I tried calling him just now, but the call was cut off.”“I see. No worries, I’ll give him a call in a bit to see where he is.”Deven was an optimistic and cheerful person, and he gave off a reliable vibe. After exchanging just a few words, Annabelle felt her anxious heart calm a little.“By the way, Anna, the last time we met was at my birthday party, remember me?”Annabelle smiled and nodded. “Deven, I remember.”Deven laughed heartily. “Since Kendrick isn’t here yet, let me introduce you two first. Anna, this is Oliver—Kendrick’s college roommate and my good buddy. He’s a top lawyer!”Annabelle turned to look at Oliver.He wasn’t classically handsome, but he was well-groomed and had a refined air—definitely an attractive man among his peers.Such a man natural

That night, when the Young Master took her home, he kissed her in the car while she was caught off guard—deliberately, to make Kendrick misunderstand, to hurt him.Now she understood why Kendrick had been so heartbroken.Because the man who had always wanted him dead had kissed his wife right in front of him! And his wife… had defended that very killer!"Anna, what’s wrong?" Oliver asked.Annabelle lifted her head and realized her vision was already blurred with tears.“Sorry, I need to use the restroom.”She fled the room and rushed to the restaurant’s restroom. She scrubbed her lips, her hands, her face—desperately.But no matter how hard she scrubbed, she couldn’t wash away the memories of her past with the Young Master.She still remembered how he had pulled her back from death’s door.She still remembered how he had tirelessly taught her medicine, hoping she could one day stand on her own two feet.Back then, he couldn’t visit Springvale Temple during the day, so he always came a

After settling Kendrick into the ICU, Annabelle said to Oliver, “You just got off the plane and stayed up all night. You must be exhausted. Go home and get some rest.”Deven added, “Yeah, Oliver, go home and sleep. I’ll stay and keep watch.”But Annabelle turned to Deven and said, “No, you go too. Kendrick’s assistant is already on the way. You’ve both been here all night. It’s time for you to go back and rest.”In the end, they only left once Jaime arrived.Annabelle had contacted Jaime just over an hour ago. At the time, he had been at home, completely unaware of what had happened that night.After receiving her call, Jaime immediately had his men investigate the events leading up to and after Kendrick’s attack.When Jaime arrived, he briefed Annabelle on what he had learned.He said that when Kendrick was attacked, he was alone—Jax had gone to Shadelake on a mission. But even without Jax, Kendrick always had bodyguards around. No one knew why he’d gone out without any protection th
