Upon hearing this, Annabelle was able to ascertain two things.

The person who kidnapped her was the one who wanted to kill Kendrick. And at that time, Kendrick was in great danger.

Annabelle pressed down her heart, which was pounding with nervousness, and quickly thought of a way to escape.

The two people outside were still chatting.

"Hey bro, isn't that girl inside Kendrick's wife? Why did the big brother tie her up?"

"That was Mr. Whitney's sweetheart," the deep-voiced man replied.

"You said she had slept with Kendrick. Mr. Whitney can have any kind of woman he wants, so why is he so infatuated with her?"

"You knew nothing, how beautiful she was, that little face, that figure, not an ordinary woman could compare."

"Hehe, that's true..."

***

Annabelle listened to their sinister laughter, feeling a chill run down her spine.

The person who was referred to as Mr. Whitney by two individuals was evidently the person who had been trying to kill Kendrick.

And this Mr. Whitney seemed to have

    The moment Annabelle landed, a sharp pain shot through her feet, causing her body to uncontrollably lurch forward. Her knees followed suit and hit the ground, even though they were protected by long pants, they were definitely scraped.However, these were all unimportant. She gritted her teeth, not making a sound, enduring the intense pain in her feet, and walked along the wall to the parking area.It should have been late at night by now, with very few vehicles in the parking lot. She quickly found her own car and drove away from the coffee shop parking lot.After successfully escaping onto the main road, Annabelle's heart continued to race uncontrollably.She knew that the opposing force was strong, and even if she ran out of the coffee shop, she might not be safe.The most important thing now was to find Kendrick. I looked at the time in the carPad and it was already early morning.She had been unconscious for two to three hours. Is Kendrick still okay now during these two to three

    Although it was unknown whether it was Kendrick's blood or not, the fallen cufflink and the messy room confirmed the words spoken by those two people in the coffee shop, indicating that Kendrick had already been seriously injured.Annabelle felt as if someone had tightly squeezed her heart, but she couldn't afford to be sad. She sniffed and rubbed her teary eyes, and walked quickly towards the outside.However, as soon as she arrived at the door, she heard the elevator make a "ding" sound, indicating that someone had also arrived on the tenth floor.The sound of hurried footsteps immediately came from around the corner.Although she hadn't seen anyone yet, Annabelle could tell from the heavy footsteps that most of the people coming were men, at least three or five of them."Where is she?" a man asked in a low voice.Annabelle recognized the man's voice, it was Warren, the one who called her. She couldn't help but curse her bad luck, had they already found out so quickly?"It should ha

    "It's just superficial injuries, not as serious as you said," Kendrick said casually.But Annabelle could see his wounds, there were cuts on his abdomen and arms, the wounds looked long and deep, and they were still bleeding at the time, unsure if any internal organs were injured."I will stop the bleeding for you first."Annabelle used a small knife to damage the bedsheet, tearing it into wide strips of cloth. She quickly helped him wrap bandages around his shoulders and waist. With limited resources, this was the best they could do for now.When Annabelle was bandaging him, Kendrick asked, "Did your friend finish seeing the doctor? What happened to your foot again?"When Annabelle helped him to the bedside just now, Kendrick could feel that she seemed to have injured her foot.Annabelle then told Kendrick about her entire night's experience.After she finished speaking, Kendrick fell into deep thought.Annabelle obviously hadn't realized that all of this was orchestrated by the very

    The two of them immediately held their breath. Annabelle could hear someone knocking on the doors of each room, saying it was room service and asking if they needed cleaning.Those who did not receive a response should have swiped their cards directly to enter.Because she heard the "beep" sound when a door was unlocked.It is now early morning, and it is impossible for the hotel staff to go to each room and ask if they need cleaning.Therefore, there was only one possibility, the person outside was Ryan's subordinate.As they approached the door, Annabelle's heart was in her throat.If they didn't answer when someone knocked on the door, those people might enter the house to check.What should I do if answering will give away the truth...She glanced at Kendrick, and the two of them locked eyes in the dim light. His eyes were dark and he flexed his finger joints."There should only be two people, I can still handle it, hiding in the wardrobe, don't come out," he said, as he was about

    Annabelle felt like burying her face in the ground and running away, "I don't understand, please don't say things randomly.""It's okay if you don't understand, I will teach you slowly in the future."Annabelle sighed inwardly, knowing that this was exactly how it would turn out."But now we have to hurry," Kendrick said, opening the door and quickly glancing outside.He knew that the other party might soon realize something was wrong or notice other clues.So they had to take the opportunity to leave."Anna, help me out first. Let's go through the emergency exit."Annabelle nodded and asked worriedly, "What if they block the exit?""They probably didn't know about that exit, and it required a password. Let's go."Annabelle didn't have time to think carefully. She let Kendrick's arm rest on her shoulder and supported him as they walked towards the exit he had mentioned.Under Kendrick's guidance, Annabelle supported him and arrived at the small door.To be precise, it was a floor pain

    Annabelle was a little excited and started coughing violently as soon as she finished speaking.Marvin quickly reassured her, saying, "Don't worry, he was just losing too much blood and was still unconscious."Looking at Annabelle like this, he knew that Annabelle probably had feelings for Kendrick."I went to see him."However, a sharp pain shot through her shoulder, causing Annabelle to immediately lie back down on the hospital bed. That was where she had been shot.Marvin then said that Kendrick was being taken care of now, so there was no need to worry. And even if Annabelle went there now, she wouldn't be able to help much.Annabelle was indeed feeling weak all over, and as soon as she sat up, her eyes went black. She had no choice but to listen to Marvin first.Afterwards, through Marvin's narration, Annabelle learned that she had been unconscious for a whole day and night. At that time, she had been shot with an anesthetic gun. Fortunately, she was taken to the hospital in time

    After Jaime reported on the affairs of the group, he tentatively asked, "President, do you still want to remain unconscious?"Kendrick pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, during this time, pay close attention to the movements of the shareholders. I have also moved the bodyguards outside my ward to a hidden location. Without any instructions, do not take any unauthorized actions."With Marvin joining the group, Kendrick could feel that there were people within the group who had doubts about him. They had probably been looking for an opportunity to help Marvin rise to power.His coma was a good opportunity for Marvin, those people would definitely help Marvin.So, Kendrick decided to pretend to be in a coma, taking the opportunity to test and see who would betray him or even plot to harm him as soon as he became unconscious.So they simply opened the door wide and waited to see who would come."Yes, is that Mrs. Gregory speaking?"Kendrick rubbed his forehead; he actually didn't want

    Kendrick couldn't help but feel a little surprised and a little delighted after hearing Annabelle's words.I used to be cold and indifferent towards him, always finding fault with him. But it turns out that I cared about him so much in my heart, and he was also quite clingy.The nurse sister said that she would go and ask the head nurse. Annabelle nodded, thinking that indeed the approval of the head nurse was necessary for this matter.After a while, the head nurse arrived.She was a woman in her thirties, showing respect towards Annabelle. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she said, "Mrs. Gregory, this might not be very convenient."Lying in the hospital bed, Kendrick almost couldn't continue acting and was about to sit up directly.His wife was coming to accompany him in bed, why was it suddenly inconvenient?Is this really the hospital he funded? How can these people not even have the most basic human care for him?However, before Kendrick could make a move, Annabelle spok

    Ariana had been worried that Kendrick might suddenly back out and not attend the engagement party. After all, their relationship was no longer what it used to be, and she could feel his deliberate distance.But seeing him arrive, Ariana immediately felt at ease, silently cursing herself for being overly anxious. Brother Kendrick had always kept his word, and if he had promised to come, he would definitely show up.Moreover, their relationship hadn’t reached the point of no return. Kendrick would still attend her engagement party out of respect for their past friendship.However, something felt off. Ariana couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong with Kendrick today. His brows were furrowed, his expression cold, as though he were angry.Annabelle, walking next to him, looked equally indifferent.They were walking side by side, yet there was no hand-holding or arm-linking.Ariana, ever observant, picked up on these small

    Julissa couldn’t help but wonder if Scott had also held Linda’s hand, guiding her on how to pour the water in circles just like he did with her.She stared at his face, waiting for him to respond.Scott, however, remained indifferent. "I usually have her make instant coffee or buy coffee from downstairs. If I want pour-over, I make it myself."What?Why was he so lenient with Linda, but so harsh with her, Julissa?A surge of dissatisfaction bubbled up inside her, though she didn't dare to voice it strongly."Then why did you want me to learn?" she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral."Sometimes I just want to be lazy," he replied, raising an eyebrow and looking at her. "You said you really like learning new things and challenging yourself, right?"Julissa: "..."At that moment, Julissa felt like Scott was deliberately toying with her.She remembered how she had been docked half her salary for being late due to

    Julissa felt the pressure of his gaze, her scalp tingling as if she had been caught daydreaming in class and was suddenly called on by the teacher.She stammered, "You... you just said to put the coffee grounds on the filter paper..."Scott pressed his temple. "Did I really need to say that?"Julissa realized she had just said something pointless. She wiped the cold sweat from her brow and continued, "Then you don’t need much water at first, just wet the coffee grounds, and then... wait a moment?""That step is called blooming. Continue.""Oh, blooming... then we add water!"Scott sighed in exasperation. "The scale has a timer. Remember, the blooming time is 30 seconds."Julissa nodded quickly. "Oh, got it! Then we add water, using the pour-over kettle in a spiral motion, just like you're doing, right?""160 ml of water, add it in two stages. Once the first batch of water has fully filtered through, begin the second." He

    Not long after she participated in the competition, she had the car accident, and since then, she hadn't been able to return to the stage.Julissa gazed at the painting of herself, feeling a sense of fate between her and Scott. At the same time, her heart was filled with a strong desire—she longed to be that little swan on the stage again.But she knew it was no longer possible."I remember Assistant Hickman used to dance ballet. Do you know this dancer?" Scott asked, gazing at her profile."...No," her voice was hoarse, tinged with a slight nasal tone.She didn’t want Scott to know that she was the one in the painting. If he found out, it would be terribly awkward for her. He might think it was embarrassing—how could he hang a picture of his assistant on his wall? He would probably take it down.Julissa sniffed and smiled at him. "Mr. Nichols, your time is valuable. Let's get on with the coffee brewing lesson."Righ

    Julissa froze for a second. Was Scott teasing her?Sure enough, men who were usually so reserved had a hidden mischievous side.Wasn’t this a form of workplace harassment, though?She decided to play dumb—after all, Scott was her employer now, her "bread and butter.""I was just looking at that painting," she said, taking a step back and subtly pulling her arm away.Scott casually slipped his hands into his pockets, unfazed."Well then, come up and have a closer look."He started up the stairs first, and Julissa, reluctantly, followed him.As she walked behind him, heading toward his bedroom, the feeling of being “taken advantage of” intensified.He had already shown a flirtatious side before, and now it seemed like he had finally decided to make his move. Was this the moment he was going to take advantage of her?What if someone walked in and caught them? The office door wasn’t locke

    Julissa was close to tears. Although half of her salary was being deducted, she still had 50,000 left, but it felt like being sliced open—it was painful."This is just inhuman..." she muttered under her breath."Even if it's for the money, you better start coming to work on time from now on!" Linda said with a smile, patting her on the shoulder. "Mr. Nichols wants some coffee, go make him a cup, and don't mess up again."Julissa quickly agreed and, after putting down her things, headed to the breakroom.Linda watched her leave, feeling helpless. The new rules that had been implemented were something Scott had come up with on the spot, and they were only directed at the executive assistant, effectively targeting Julissa for not being present.Was this really his way of pursuing a woman? Linda couldn’t help but think that Scott’s emotional intelligence was lacking.Meanwhile, Julissa took out her favorite instant coffee from

    When Julissa woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to go to the bathroom, she realized she was already in her bed.She sat up and scratched her head, feeling a bit confused.Wasn’t she in the living room earlier? How did she end up in bed?Had Scott left?She got out of bed to use the bathroom and called out toward the other room, "Mr. Nichols?"The room was pitch black, and there was no answer.She walked into the kitchen and glanced at the cupboard. The watch was gone.She checked the entryway next, and the shoes under the shoe rack were also gone.It seemed he had already left. He must have carried her to bed after she fell asleep, then left afterward.There was an inexplicable feeling of disappointment.But soon, that feeling was replaced by the sharp pang of stomach pain as she drowsily made her way to the bathroom.Afterward, she returned to bed, ready to fall back asleep. But after lyin

    At that moment, the elevator arrived, and Zane stepped inside. "You should go back, it's cold in the hallway."He never looked at her once as the elevator doors closed.The cold wind from the hallway blew in, causing Julissa to shiver. She tightened her clothes and walked back home, still in a daze.She glanced once more at the cup of brown sugar water in the kitchen and frowned. There, on the counter, was a men's wristwatch!It was Scott's watch. Did he intentionally leave it there?Whether he meant to or not, Zane must have seen the watch and guessed that there was another man in her house.All of this was because of him, and now it had caused a misunderstanding between her and Doctor Carter.Doctor Carter must now think she was a huge flirt.Fuming, Julissa stormed into her bedroom, only to find Scott lying on her bed, seemingly asleep.Looking at the man on her bed, she inwardly complained. Even when asleep, he still

The doctor was here so quickly!It had only been ten minutes since he sent the message.Julissa quickly sat up, grabbed Scott's hand without a second thought, and rushed to her bedroom.She only had one thought in her mind—hide Scott first.This Mr. Nichols was clueless, self-centered, and sharp-tongued. If he met Doctor Carter, there was no way things would go well.She shoved Scott into the bedroom and said, "Mr. Nichols, please bear with it for a moment. Don't come out, okay? Please!"Scott remained expressionless, pressing his lips together."We're just colleagues. There's nothing sha
