Annabelle took out her phone, intending to call Kendrick, but before she could, a girl behind her swiftly snatched it away.“Hurry up and let our handsome guy search you. As long as you're innocent, we’ll let you go immediately,” the girl said.The man touched the corner of his mouth and took a step forward. “Beauty, I’ll be gentle.”As he spoke, he reached out towards Annabelle’s chest.Annabelle instinctively stepped back, but her foot caught on a chair, causing her to lose balance and fall backward.At the same time, the man extended his hand as if to catch her but then let it drop.Just as Annabelle thought she was about to hit the ground, she instead landed against a firm chest. A pair of strong hands held her shoulders.“Anna.”A deep and gentle voice sounded behind her.The moment Annabelle heard that familiar voice, she turned around in surprise. She hadn’t expected to run into Marvin here!How small the world was...“What are you doing here?”“I heard you were here filming a

The marketing director had taken advantage of Ada multiple times. She thought that meant the deal was sealed, but in the end, her contract still wasn’t renewed.She was a top model with a spotless reputation and had worked diligently on endorsements for the past six months. So why was she so easily replaced by Annabelle?Ada had done her research on Annabelle. Aside from her beauty, there wasn’t anything particularly special about her. She wasn’t a professional model or actress, nor did she come from a prominent family. The only reason her status had skyrocketed was because she married Kendrick.The more Ada thought about it, the angrier she became. Her mind was racing—she was determined to humiliate Annabelle.If only Marvin weren’t here. Then, when her friend searched Annabelle, the missing watch could be conveniently "discovered" in her clothing.Ray was a skilled magician—this kind of trick would have been effortless for him.But with Marvin present, Ray couldn’t make his move eas

An Susie was once one of Annabelle’s patients. However, by the time she sought treatment, she was already in the late stages of breast cancer. She knew she was beyond saving, so she never expected Annabelle to cure her. All she wanted was pain relief—to improve her quality of life for the last two months before her passing.Back then, Fabian had gifted two scarves. The other one had gone to Sister Susie—almost identical to the one Annabelle had, differing only in color and pattern.That must have been why Willie recognized the scarf she was wearing.During Susie’s treatment, she often spoke about her husband, describing him as a self-made businessman. She mentioned that they had come from a rural background and that he had endured hardships but always treated her well…“Hello, Mr. Crooks.”Annabelle heard herself speak in a dry, somewhat unnatural tone.She simply couldn’t reconcile the loving husband Susie had described with the man standing in front of her.Willie extended a polite

Kendrick’s expression grew even darker. “Let’s go. We’re finding them.”Without hesitation, Annabelle followed him back to the beach, and Marvin trailed behind them.On the short walk back, Kendrick asked Anna a few simple but crucial questions.“Did they touch you?”“Are you hurt anywhere?”“Did they know who you were? If so, why did they dare to bully you?”Little Anna, eyes still red, answered one by one: “They touched me a little, but I’m not hurt. They knew who I was, but they pretended not to recognize me!”Kendrick immediately understood. He now knew what had truly upset her.It wasn’t just that she was wrongfully accused and couldn’t defend herself—it was the fact that he wasn’t there when she needed him most. That feeling of being alone and helpless.And most infuriatingly, that bastard had tried to use the body search as an excuse to take advantage of her!The more Kendrick thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted to rip that guy apart.However, when they returned

Normally, in a situation like this, Annabelle would have called him shamelessly vain.But today was different.Today, he deserved to be vain.She nodded seriously and said, "Kendrick, teach me how to fight. That way, I won’t have to rely on you next time."Before, she had been somewhat impulsive about it. Later, when she felt a little uncomfortable, she easily gave up and kept putting it off.But this time, she meant it.Kendrick raised an eyebrow. "Why aren’t you asking Jax anymore?"Annabelle wisely replied, "When looking for a teacher, of course, you choose the best one.""Oh? You know I’m your teacher now, yet you’re still calling me ‘Kendrick’ so casually? Shouldn’t a student show some respect?""...Then, Mr. Gregory?"Kendrick nodded in satisfaction. "I’m a very strict teacher. Once you start learning from me, you’re not allowed to quit or back out.""I won’t regret it!" Annabelle said firmly."If you don’t do well, I’ll have to punish you."Annabelle's eyes widened in horror. "
