Raphael already began to sob, "They will chop my hands off if I can't repay the debt. Please come here..."What followed was a burst of noise, and the call was disconnected.Annabelle was irritated.She used to have a good impression of Raphael and after this call was finished, she already saw him as a playboy.The point was that Raphael didn't know if she had that much money before asking. Did he think she had become his cash cow after she was married into the Gregory family?The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Annabelle just put away the phone and decided not to care.However, she couldn't calm down. She couldn't stop worrying.Raphael didn't seem to be lying.If she ignored him, would his limbs be chopped off?Annabelle wasn't that determined after thinking like this.Finally, she sighed. She would help him, and she would tell him that it would be both her first time and last time helping him out.She could afford 80 thousand dollars.She had treated quite a few

Raphael widened his eyes. "Damn you. This is my older sister."After saying this, he continued escorting Annabelle and turned his head to laugh into her ear. "Annabelle, you're so attractive that they can't stop looking at you."Raphael was proud when he said this.But at that moment, Annabelle had a pale face and couldn't feel happy at all.She hated being stared at like this and even felt a bit horrified.She was more upset when she heard Raphael's joke and glared at him.Raphael didn't notice it at all and still excitedly led the way.Annabelle was confused. Raphael didn't look like he had lost 80 thousand dollars, or, was the money so little to him that he didn't even care?But that made sense. The Sanchez family was rich after all, and even Briley's handbag would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.It was because they squandered the money instead of managing it, the family that was once one of the Four Great Families in Elfhedge had fallen.Now, the family's business had b

As soon as the woman spoke, she immediately attracted many onlookers. Everyone stretched their necks and looked over as if watching a show.Recently, Annabelle has been the hottest topic in the celebrity circle.The men and women present were all from the so-called upper class society. They had long heard about the mysterious heiress of the Sanchez family, who was jilted by the second son of the Gregory family at the engagement banquet. It was quite embarrassing, but she turned around and got engaged to Kendrick, the most esteemed man in Elfhedge.She didn't have many opportunities to appear in public, so various rumors started to spread online. Some said she was extremely ugly, while others claimed she was as beautiful as a goddess.As soon as they heard, everyone started discussing that the woman in front of them was Annabelle."That's Annabelle, so beautiful. She's definitely not an ugly girl.""Gemma Pratt is also impressive. She truly lives up to her reputation as a supermodel. H

Annabelle looked up in panic and was about to say thank you when she saw that it was Kendrick who was holding her.The girl next to me had already exclaimed and screamed.Characters like Kendrick are not something they can easily come across. At this moment, their eyes were sparkling, infatuated, saying, "It's really Kendrick! He's even more handsome than in the photos.""Wow, he's so cool! I wish it was me that he was hugging..."Those girls were excitedly talking and crazily taking photos.Annabelle couldn't help shaking her head when she saw this, thinking to herself, "You guys are still too naive. You don't know how cunning this person is. He may look handsome, but he has a wicked heart.""Where did it hurt?" Kendrick frowned and asked.Annabelle shook her head, while also showing a hint of slight dissatisfaction towards him.The black sports car parked outside, it really belonged to Kendrick.He did come to this colorful place for socializing, and the old fox indeed was not a goo

Kendrick listened and, appreciatively, curled his lips, feeling even more that she and he were compatible in personality.The Gregory family, although not lacking money, but his wife was just publicly harassed, he must stand up for her."Indeed fair," Kendrick looked at Gemma, "So, Ms. Pratt, please make sure to bring the receipt to the office tomorrow, and my assistant will handle the compensation matters with you."Gemma's smile froze after listening, and she felt a bit unsteady on her feet. Fortunately, her little sister beside her promptly supported her."Mr. Gregory, it was really necessary..."Gemma hadn't finished speaking when Annabelle gently grabbed Kendrick's shirt and said, "Honey, I have a slight headache and I want to go home."The little wild cat in his arms suddenly turned into a small white rabbit and unexpectedly jumped at him, Kendrick instantly melted.Although he knew she was just acting, the word "husband" still brought him immense joy."Okay, wait a moment more.

Annabelle nodded lightly, indicating that she didn't mind.She never intended to integrate into Kendrick's circle of friends, after all, they were bound to go their separate ways sooner or later. Therefore, she was very relaxed and had no psychological burden, treating it as just going through the motions.Kendrick pushed open the door and led Annabelle into the dimly lit private room.When the two entered, Ariana was the first to see Annabelle.She was standing on the small stage in front, singing. She happened to be singing a high note, which was her specialty. However, her voice suddenly stopped and the accompaniment awkwardly continued when she saw Annabelle and Kendrick holding hands.The crowd was initially stunned, but then they were also captivated by Annabelle and Kendrick.Excited cheers and screams immediately followed.The first one to come over and say hello was Seamus, the youngest of the Morse family."No wonder Kendrick kept hiding her from us. With such a beautiful wi
Last Updated : 2024-12-18I wish it were you Chapter 45 I Had to Listen to What She Said
The young master of the Shi family, who was sitting alone in the corner, couldn't help but squint his deep eyes. He exchanged a glance with Seamus, who was Kendrick's best brother. Obviously, they had never seen such a scene before.In this way, the looks towards Annabelle gained an extra layer of amusement.How amazing this girl must have been, making Kendrick disregard the opinions of others. First, he directly married her at his brother's engagement banquet, and now he showers her with such affection.And those women who had coveted Kendrick were instantly struck, suddenly losing all their enthusiasm.Ariana had long since stepped down from the small stage and couldn't help but tease Kendrick, saying, "Ken, I told you not to drink too much, why didn't you listen?"Annabelle glanced at the sweet and well-behaved little girl with a lovely appearance and a melodious voice.Judging by their age, the two of them are probably only a couple of years apart.From her tone of voice and the w

Annabelle smiled faintly and said, "I didn't love singing."When she entered the room just now, she heard Ariana's singing. It was high-pitched and clear, with a unique tone. Any sound that accompanied her would be completely overshadowed, just like a harmony.Annabelle didn't know her well, so there was no need for her to accompany her.Miss Song smiled and said, "Ariana, aren't you making things difficult for others? Everyone knows how talented you are in singing. Singing with you would only embarrass ourselves!""Where did you guys say that I was so amazing?" Ariana laughed cheerfully, "I just saw that my sister-in-law was bored here, so I wanted to go sing with her."Miss Song, however, laughed and said, "I heard that Ms. Sanchez has been living in the mountains for ten years, so she probably won't be able to sing those familiar songs of yours."Annabelle took another sip of hot water and subtly curled her lips.The rich young lady of the Song family understood the implicit meanin

Annabelle felt ticklish and giggled, swatting his hand lightly. “Lie still for a while, or I won’t keep you company.”Only then did Mr. Gregory purse his lips and obediently stop moving.If Anna hadn’t just recovered from a serious illness, and if he himself weren’t still weak right now, otherwise…Sigh! Kendrick let out a gloomy sigh, burying his face in the crook of her neck.After a moment, he asked, “By the way, did your young master say what exactly caused your fainting and shock?”Annabelle glanced at him with amusement. Every time he said your young master, she could smell the thick scent of jealousy wafting off him—but it was kind of cute, his little petty streak.So she repeated everything Ryan had told her, word for word.Kendrick listened carefully and didn’t comment much afterward. He only said, “Looks like you just had bad luck and ran into a poisonous flower.”Annabelle then brought up the scene at the little beach cabin, saying she was curious about what kind of woman h
I wish it were you Chapter 949 Did It Make Your Heart Ache?
In Annabelle’s eyes, Kendrick had made the best possible decision at the time—he had put her safety above all else and didn’t let pride get in the way by refusing the young master’s help.It was this kind of maturity and rationality that had always drawn her to Kendrick, giving her a deep sense of grounded security by his side.Looking at the petite woman in front of him, Kendrick suddenly didn’t know what to say.The guilt that had been gnawing at him for the past two days… was completely dissolved by a few simple, gentle words from his little bunny.Especially the phrase “You’re my husband.” That alone was more healing than ten IV drips.Without warning, he rolled over and pinned Anna onto the bed, kissing her more assertively, expressing his feelings in a far more direct way.Annabelle started pounding on his chest with little muffled sounds of protest.This man was crazy! If he kept moving like this, the IV line would come loose!But even sick, Kendrick was much stronger than she
I wish it were you Chapter 948 The Old Fox Seems a Bit Pitiful
Annabelle looked like she'd been caught red-handed, flustered and wide-eyed, staring at Kendrick at such a close distance.He, too, had his eyes slightly open, emotions deep and complex pooling within them.The anxiety and torment he’d endured these past two days—it all seemed to be captured in that one gaze.Kendrick moved the hand that had been resting on her back up to cradle the back of her head, and kissed her even deeper.Annabelle slowly closed her eyes, not daring to move, afraid of tugging at his IV line and causing the needle to slip out.Of course, she didn’t want to pull away either…So, what started as Kendrick kissing her forcefully ended up with her being more proactive and passionate instead.Coco, lazily glancing at the two people locked in an intense kiss, yawned, jumped off the bed, and followed the scent of its cat food to go find Uncle Trey.The little white cat trotted to the door, jumped up at the handle, hooked its front paws around it just right, then used its

"I'm heading over now."Just as Annabelle was about to hang up the phone, she heard Uncle Trey call out again, “Young Madam, wait a moment!”She brought the phone back to her ear. “What is it?”“When you come from home, could you bring Coco’s food and litter box? Young Master brought the cat over the night before last, but he didn’t bring any of its stuff. I’ve been too busy to go pick them up myself. It’s not starving or anything, but the poor thing has nowhere to go to the bathroom. It’s been squatting in the big flower pot every day…”Annabelle: “…”A vivid image popped into her mind—Coco tucked awkwardly under Kendrick’s arm, eyes wide with panic, meowing nonstop in complaint the entire way.She could just imagine it—one big, one small, both of them looking lost and homeless, wandering around like pitiful strays.But no matter how disoriented they were, how could they forget the cat food and litter?!Annabelle quickly gathered Coco’s things and drove to the old Gu estate.Just as
I wish it were you Chapter 946 Barely Holding On
Ryan gave a small nod, unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt, and lay down on the bed, quickly falling asleep.Only after hearing his steady breathing did Seraphina return to his side. She carefully removed his outer shirt, then used a warm towel to wipe his face, and then his chest—where the alcohol had spilled. Sleeping like that would definitely be uncomfortable.Finally, she pulled the blanket over him.Seraphina stared at the man in bed for a long time. Then, for the first time, gathering all her courage, she leaned down and placed a light kiss on the lips of the man she loved.He didn’t love her. In his eyes, she probably lacked even a trace of a woman’s charm—perhaps she couldn’t even stir up a shred of desire.But he had given her the utmost respect. Could that be considered a form of caring?Seraphina gently touched his lips with her fingers, her heart full of bitterness, but in the end, she smiled softly.Maybe… that’s enough.…Annabelle had already arrived at the the Grego
I wish it were you Chapter 945 Willing
The Young Master was drinking?Seraphina quickly set the breakfast tray on the foyer cabinet and rushed inside. Not seeing him in the outer living room, she headed toward the inner rooms.She paused as she passed through the dining area.The vase had been knocked over, shattered glass scattered all across the floor, and the flowers lay strewn in disarray.Seraphina’s heart pounded. She carefully stepped over the broken shards and headed toward the bedroom.The curtains were drawn tight, casting the room into darkness. The Young Master was sitting on the carpet at the foot of the bed, his head leaned back against the mattress, seemingly asleep.The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, a large alcohol stain spread across the front, and beside him sat an almost-empty bottle of strong liquor.Looking at him like this, Seraphina felt her heart shatter.The Young Master had endured so many blows in his life, but he had never fallen into despair like this. He had always gritted his teet
I wish it were you Chapter 944 The Door Opened for Her
The taxi pulled away from the hotel entrance. Annabelle rolled the window up and gave the driver the address of the the Gregory Group headquarters.She turned back to look at Seraphina, who was still standing there at the entrance, gazing in her direction.When Seraphina had said, “Actually, I should be the one thanking you,” her expression had looked sorrowful—with a touch of self-mockery. That made Annabelle even more certain of one thing:Seraphina must have feelings for the Young Master.So she had thanked her… because Annabelle was leaving him.Annabelle suddenly wanted the driver to turn around. She wanted to personally tell Seraphina that she would never fight her for the Young Master. If possible, she’d even be willing to help them get together.But she couldn’t interfere in the Young Master’s love life anymore.That would only be rubbing salt into his wounds.Not willing to be with someone, yet still trying to introduce them to someone else?That wasn’t right. And Annabelle k
I wish it were you Chapter 943 Goodbye, Ms. Sanchez
Annabelle’s pale face finally flushed with a hint of red. She covered her stomach in embarrassment and smiled.“I won’t eat—Kendrick must be really worried about me. I want to go back as soon as possible.”With that, she headed back to the bedroom, grabbed her own clean clothes from the bench at the end of the bed, and went into the walk-in closet.It was the summer outfit she had worn back in the small fishing village. Elfhedge’s weather was still far too cold for dresses, but she didn’t want to wait for the Young Master to find her something warmer.All she knew was—Kendrick must be worried sick.And knowing that she was here, with the Young Master… he was surely feeling awful.She had to get back—immediately.Annabelle changed into her clothes and stepped out of the closet. The light summer dress and linen sandals made her look fresh and airy as she walked up to the Young Master.“Young Master, I’m leaving now.”Ryan looked her up and down but didn’t say anything more. He simply re
I wish it were you Chapter 942 I Want to Kiss You Again
The Young Master said it as if he were joking, but Annabelle couldn’t help taking it seriously.He had once given her the courage and will to live. He had spent years meticulously nursing her back to health, restoring her appearance. Even after they reunited, he had saved her life several times.The grace and kindness he had shown her weren’t things that could be repaid with just a few words.So before she met Kendrick, before she accepted his love, Annabelle had always thought—One day, she must repay the Young Master.How?Anything she had, anything he wanted.But now that she was with Kendrick, she could no longer say something like that so casually.She couldn’t betray her commitment to Kendrick just to repay the Young Master,Nor could she forget the Young Master’s kindness just because she had Kendrick now.Her only hope was that the Young Master would ask for something she could give—As long as it wasn’t something like, “Stay with me.”Caught in this internal struggle, Annabel
