Chapter 197 Being Targeted
Last Updated:
2025-01-19 18:01:43Annabelle was afraid of pain, so she immediately backed away and stared at Kendrick, saying, "Why did you pull my hair?"
"Where did you go and for how many days?"
Kendrick let go, but the low air pressure made Annabelle feel suffocated.
"Stonebay Resort, three days."
After spending so much time together, Annabelle now knows better and tries her best not to provoke Kendrick, so she answers very quickly.
"Understood, stay safe."
Annabelle blinked her eyes and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that they didn't want to stop her. Phew, what a false alarm.
After Annabelle left the study, Kendrick made a phone call to Jaime: "I will be going out for the next three days. I have a meeting with a business partner the day after tomorrow. I will inform the vice president and you should cooperate fully. As for other trivial matters, I will handle them after the Golden Week is over."
"Yes, President."
"Also, book me a p

Annabelle slowly walked into the lake, gently paddled her arms, and swam freely and joyfully like a happy fish.Kamila was not good at swimming, and combined with her poor figure, she didn't like wearing revealing clothes. At the moment, she was lying on a wicker chair by the lake, sipping on some juice and enjoying the gentle breeze. It was quite pleasant.Until she heard someone approaching, she slightly opened her eyes and realized it was Gauge."Hi!"Gauge nodded in response and then took off his bathrobe, stepping into the lake. Kamila watched Gauge's well-proportioned and muscular figure and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity this guy didn't become a model.Then she pinched the flesh on her stomach and for the N+1th time, she felt the urge to lose weight.Immediately, she saw Gauge swimming towards Annabelle.Kamila immediately felt that the two of them were a perfect match and quickly took out

As the time underwater increased, Annabelle began to feel a slight tightness in her chest.She didn't know how long she could hold on, but when she looked at Gauge, she realized that he was completely fine.Is this person a fish?Not only Annabelle was anxious, but Kamila on the shore was also panicking at the moment. They have been underwater for so long without resurfacing, could it be... that they are dead?But fortunately, the pool water was clear, and Kamila could see that both of them were still moving, so she restrained herself from calling for help.In the distance, Kendrick had already used a telescope, and his temples were pounding.As soon as Kendrick saw Gauge also entering the lake just now, he couldn't sit still.Later, watching them swim to the other side of the lake together, I realized that the two of them were probably competing, which made me even more bitter.The two of them had elegant swimming styles, with

Annabelle came to the hot spring area alone, chose an empty pool, walked in, and then comfortably closed her eyes.Not long after, other classmates also arrived.There were several more people in the pool, including both girls and boys. Annabelle looked around and noticed that there were still several empty pools. She wondered why everyone had to squeeze together with her.If she were to get up and change pools now, it wouldn't be impossible, but it would seem very impolite, as if she were disdainful of her classmates.So she moved a little away from others.Gauge didn't go into the pool because he didn't like sharing the pool with others. So he sat on a chair nearby, listening to music, planning to have a snack and then go back to his own suite.He lived in a small detached villa with a private courtyard, which had his own private hot spring pool. Actually, he could have gone straight back to his room, but he couldn't help but walk over to

Annabelle just arrived at the bar and ordered a hot coffee from the waiter.While she waited, it felt like a big, heavy person had just sat down next to her.Annabelle glanced at him with a sidelong glance and immediately knew what he was thinking, so she got up and left.When dealing with a thug, you can't be too careful. The sooner you get away, the better.But even so, her shoulder was still held down by the man."Miss, why didn't you take the order after you placed it?"The waiter had already placed the hot coffee on the bar counter. The man pushed the cup towards Annabelle and glanced at the waiter, saying, "Just leave it. You can go now."The waiter hesitated for a moment and then retreated to the backstage.Annabelle looked around and realized that there were no classmates of hers in the bar. In fact, it was just her and this man.The waiter had already left, so even if he heard any noise, he wouldn't pay attention to her.After all, Annabelle was just a student, while this per

As Gauge pushed open the door of the bar, a strong smell of alcohol hit his nose.He quickly searched for Annabelle's figure, but he did not see her...There came rapid panting from the corridor, and Gauge grew even more nervous as he walked quickly over.The next scene made Gauge stop in his tracks, feeling a sudden shock.The small wine rack on one side of the corridor toppled over, and the floor was covered with broken glass and spilled wine.Annabelle was pressed tightly against the opposite wall, her bathrobe torn and revealing her collarbone. Her hair was disheveled, and she held half a bottle of red wine in her hand, staring directly at the man in front of her.And across from her, the man was sitting on the ground, holding his head in pain and groaning, blood flowing down his face through his hair, looking extremely horrifying.Gauge ran quickly towards her.Annabelle immediately aimed the half bottle of wine in her hand at him. Upon realizing it was him, she let out a sigh of
Last Updated : 2025-02-08I wish it were you Chapter 203 Annabelle's Grievance
Annabelle could see Gauge's dilemma, and having experienced her fair share of frustration in the past, she had long understood a lesson: engaging in arguments over trivial matters just to prove a point could potentially land both herself and her friends in even more difficult situations.So, she could only console herself, a woman should be able to bend and stretch, when it's time to show weakness, then show weakness.Since she was the one who hit the person, she should take responsibility and compensate.I just hope that Gauge doesn't get caught in a dilemma because of her.Davin chuckled and said, "Miss, I'm afraid you couldn't afford it.""Don't talk nonsense."Annabelle thought to herself, "Isn't it just breaking your head? Are you a pig's head made of gold or something?"Davin pouted and said, "My injury needs to be assessed before we can determine how much you should compensate me. But on the shelf you broke behind me, there was a bottle of red wine that belonged to me. I had ju

Before Annabelle could say much, Kendrick had already hung up.Annabelle returned to Davin, feeling frustrated. By that time, he was already sitting on the sofa, with the manager nodding and bowing beside him.Gauge walked over anxiously and asked her what was going on.Annabelle shook her head and said to Davin, "Someone will come to compensate you in a while, but you may have to wait a little longer..."She was very unsure when she said these words.After all, if Kendrick was in the city at that time, it would take him at least two hours to get here.I hope Davin won't cause any more trouble.Davin finished listening and smiled faintly, then lit a cigar."Miss, I didn't have so much time to wait for you, to be honest, I didn't really need that money. But now I have an idea that can not only exempt you from compensation but also help me save face."He took a puff of his cigar, blew a smoke ring, and continued, "After al

Kendrick's temples throbbed, he wiped away the tears on her face, and said, "Go sit over there for a while, don't look this way."Annabelle felt the coldness emanating from Kendrick, her scalp tingling, as she stood frozen in place."Be good, go quickly."His tone was gentle yet firm, like a command, directing Annabelle to involuntarily move her legs and turn towards the distant booth.Did Kendrick want to kill that person?She had just thought of turning around to look when suddenly there came a loud crack behind her, as if the sound of a joint breaking, and at the same time, Davin let out a scream like that of a slaughtered pig.Annabelle shivered all over and wrapped Kendrick's coat tightly around herself. Finally, she didn't dare to look back and slowly sat down on the sofa, with her back turned towards Kendrick.I could only hear Davin pleading in pain, "Mr. Gregory, Mr. Gregory, I really didn't know she was your girl. Are you re

When Lisa mentioned Annabelle's eyes, Kendrick's gaze grew darker.Indeed, it is highly likely that Annabelle's vision will never be restored.But he didn't want to give up, as long as there was a glimmer of hope to save her, he would definitely do his utmost.As for Lisa...If Annabelle had even the slightest mistake, Kendrick wouldn't dare to guarantee what crazy things he would do."You had better pray that Annabelle gets better soon."Kendrick's voice was faint, but the murderous tone in his voice made the dim wine cellar even colder and more terrifying.Lisa looked up and gazed at the man she had always desired.At this moment, Kendrick stood against the backlight, resembling the Grim Reaper, gazing at her.It seems that her time of death has come.And when she went to destroy Annabelle, she anticipated that this day would come.But suddenly, a wave of sadness surged up in my heart.She had put

After eating porridge, Annabelle felt a little thirsty. Kendrick helped her by handing her a glass of water and considerately placed a straw for her, preventing her from not being able to see it and drink properly.However, after consuming the porridge and water, it didn't take long for Annabelle to sadly realize that she needed to use the restroom.She pursed her lips and said, "Kendrick, could you please call the nurse in?""What happened?"She bit her lip again, finding it difficult to speak."You went and called, that's all."Kendrick squinted his eyes and looked at her, "Anna, did you want to go to the bathroom?"Did Annabelle blush? Was her expression so obvious?"So you quickly went to call the nurse, or the caregiver would do."Kendrick laughed and said, "Why bother someone else, I'll just carry you.""Absolutely not, absolutely not!" Annabelle shook her head quickly, how could she let Mr. Gregory attend t

Annabelle immediately withdrew her hand and frowned, saying, "I was just curious why you, a workaholic, would be willing to not go to the office.""The company did not consider you important."Although this statement is cheesy and old-fashioned, Annabelle found it pleasing to hear and forgave him for his flirtatious behavior."You have been sleeping for two days. Are you hungry? Let me help you sit up and have something to eat."Annabelle shook her head and said, "I didn't have an appetite."However, Kendrick had already helped her raise the bed halfway so that she could sit up and eat, and he also scooped a small bowl of red date porridge from the insulated food container for her."I really didn't want to eat...""You should also eat a little more, which is beneficial for recovery."Kendrick spoke as he scooped up a small spoonful of porridge and blew on it at the edge of his mouth.Annabelle's mouth was full of bittern

As soon as Annabelle heard Kendrick's voice, her tightened heart relaxed a little."Kendrick, are my eyes... blind?"This was the problem she was most worried about.Kendrick's eyes darkened, then he smiled faintly and said, "No, it was washed off in time, and it will fully recover after a period of rest."His voice was deep and gentle, as his large palm lightly caressed her shoulder, soothing her emotions.But Annabelle felt uneasy, she smelled alcohol at that time, and it was very pungent. She suspected that Lisa had splashed something on her face, most likely something like industrial alcohol.And that kind of thing contained formaldehyde, which could cause blindness."Are you comforting me?""Of course not, besides, how long can I deceive you with such a thing?"Annabelle thought for a moment and realized that if she had really gone blind, she would have known soon enough. Kendrick had no reason to lie about it.

Annabelle heard footsteps coming from the hallway, and she wanted to shout for help.Lisa immediately covered her mouth and said sinisterly, "I had already placed the maintenance sign, no one will come to save you."Annabelle's heart sank, and at the same time, she felt a deep regret. Why didn't she let Kendrick come when he offered to accompany her just now?Could Kendrick detect that she was in danger in time?She couldn't see anything because her eyes were too painful, and she had almost no resistance. She only vaguely felt herself being dragged into a restroom cubicle by Lisa."I will ruin your face right now and see if you can still seduce men."Lisa gritted her teeth and finished speaking, then took out a dagger and stabbed Annabelle in the face.Annabelle immediately went to block with her hand, "You ruined me, Kendrick won't let you get away with this!""Hahaha... Since I dared to do this, I was no longer afraid of anyt

Annabelle thought Kendrick was in the same mood as her, so she handed him her phone.Kendrick flipped through and said lightly, "I don't like houses that others have lived in. Let's not consider Violet Villa anymore. Let's find another neighborhood.""No one has ever lived in it; it has been empty since it was bought.""Did you believe it just because someone said they haven't lived here before?"Annabelle pouted and couldn't continue the conversation."Do you really want to move next to Gauge's house?" Kendrick couldn't help but ask.Annabelle thought to herself, "Why does Kendrick always ask like this?""I simply liked the environment of that neighborhood.""Perhaps you liked other places as well.""Are you really not going to buy?" Annabelle frowned in frustration.Kendrick took a deep breath and looked at her in front of him. At that moment, he realized how deeply this little woman had been moved.If he

Annabelle understood the reason, but she had thin skin and couldn't bear his constant teasing."Are you really going or not?" Annabelle asked, her face turning red.Kendrick sighed helplessly and didn't tease her anymore. Afterward, the two of them went out together.Because Annabelle loved to eat fish, Kendrick took her to the best traditional restaurant in Elfhedge, the Coastal View Restaurant, where the fish fillet was very famous.Annabelle remembered that Kamila had said that Coastal View Restaurant was expensive and always fully booked. She said that if you wanted to eat there, you had to make a reservation three months in advance. She also mentioned how delicious the fish fillet was, and as she spoke, Kamila's mouth watered, imagining the day when she could indulge in a meal at Coastal View Restaurant."How long did you wait to book a seat?" Annabelle asked."I made a phone call and made a reservation.""Isn't it supposed to ta

"Hey Kendrick!"Annabelle stood up and was about to snatch her paper back, but Kendrick immediately pressed his hand on top of her head."Wait a moment, let me check."Annabelle immediately shook her head, freeing herself from his grasp.Then Kendrick took the pen from her hand, looked at the bitten pen barrel, and frowned as he rubbed it on his own clothes. "What's wrong with this, it's like being in elementary school, aren't you afraid of bacteria?"Annabelle, who was being looked down upon, felt extremely embarrassed and slightly annoyed. "What we are learning now is different from what you learned ten years ago. You probably won't understand."Kendrick glanced at her, feeling upset after being criticized, and then attacked her age."Do you think I have gotten old?"Annabelle gave a faint smile and said, "I dare not."Kendrick clicked his tongue, clearly expressing his disdain."Do you know that older men are t

Annabelle was slightly taken aback and thought that Gauge was probably just joking, so she smiled and said, "Of course, it would be great to be neighbors with you."But she was not a person who was enthusiastic about socializing, so the real reason she liked the neighborhood was because of the natural wetland ecological area where the neighborhood was located.But it's no use saying anything now, the house has already been sold, we can't just snatch it back from someone else's hands."Don't worry, I will help you find a solution.""Hmm? What method do you have?"Gauge smiled faintly and said, "Although all the houses have been sold, the occupancy rate in the community is not high. Perhaps someone wants to sell. I will ask for you and give you a reply tonight."Annabelle nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay," also thanking him for his help.Gauge looked at her dim eyes, which brightened up a little bit. His mood instantly turned better, a
