After the call with Trey was disconnected, Kendrick tugged at his tie.

He knew what Trey implied.

But how should he do that? Force her to have sex with him?

Annabelle grew up at Springvale Temple alone in her childhood, so she must have been bullied a lot. It would be inhumane of him if he bullied her with the excuse of their marriage.

At least at this moment, Kendrick couldn't accept Trey's advice.

After Annabelle returned to the bedroom, she texted Fabian.

After all, their communication was interrupted by Kendrick.

"I was caught up in something just now and didn't finish what I wanted to say. You should take the medicine I prescribed you according to the instructions. Tell me when you finish it. I'll give you another treatment plan."

"OK. I'll be waiting."

Annabelle smiled when she looked at Fabian's reply.

"Sleep early then. I'm going to sleep as well. Good night."

Annabelle had few friends over the years, and Fabian was one of her best friends.

They knew each other because of Fabi

    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.

    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

    Kendrick held Annabelle tightly, his entire body tense, and Annabelle could even hear his rapid heartbeat from the tension.“Did you have a nightmare?”“I dreamt that someone took you away.”Annabelle smiled softly, her gentle fingers slipping into his hair, helping him press on some pressure points to relax him.“You’ve been too tired lately. You should get some rest.”“I’ll go to sleep now. If you’re willing to wait for me for ten minutes, we can go to bed together.”He kissed her ear, seemingly thinking she just wanted to know what time he’d go to sleep.Annabelle pressed her lips together and said, “Actually, I came here to confess something.”“What bad thing did you do?”Feeling a little guilty, Annabelle scratched her head and said, “Someone just sent you a message.

    Annabelle remained unaware of everything that was happening around her.However, she overheard Kendrick talking on the phone with Dr. White and learned that the analysis of the medicine the Young Master had given her had been completed.Concerned that Annabelle might discover the ingredients, Kendrick decided to tell her the components of the non-toxic medicine.Annabelle sighed after hearing it, telling Kendrick that she had originally intended to learn how to make the medicine herself by analyzing its components, so she could continue managing her health in the future. But after hearing the names of the trace elements, she realized it would be impossible to do it herself.With modern medical techniques, the elements in traditional medicine can be analyzed, but without a prescription, it is impossible to recreate the medicine.

    Kendrick's gratitude toward Seraphina was genuine. At the same time, he wanted her to understand that in the battle between him and Ryan, if Ryan ultimately lost, he would let her go and not make her do anything harmful to him or Annabelle out of desperation.Seraphina was momentarily stunned, then smiled faintly. "The likelihood of me needing your help is low, but I do appreciate your words.""There's no need to speak too soon, but this is my promise to you."After saying this, Kendrick gave a brief glance at Elio. "Elio, take Miss Seraphina away."Elio nodded in acknowledgment and shot a cold glare at Seraphina. "Go."Seraphina gave a sly smile to Elio. "The stone outside Lavender Villa's gate has a listening device. I installed it. You might want to take it down soon."Elio froze for a moment, his face turning red in both embarrassment and anger."Got it!" he muttered back.After Seraphina was sent away by Elio, Kendrick too

    “This medicine really can help detoxify Miss Sanchez’s body. The one she’s taking now, however, is actually toxic,” Seraphina said.Kendrick lightly shifted the small bottle in his hand and gave Seraphina a sharp look.“But the results of Annabelle’s physical check-up are already out, and there’s no sign of any toxins in her body. She doesn’t need detoxifying,” Kendrick responded.Seraphina smirked. “The doctors don’t even know what kind of poison she’s been exposed to. There are hundreds of types of neurotoxins. If there’s no clear history of poisoning or obvious symptoms, they can only rule them out one by one. By the time they find out what it is, the person might already be gone. The screenings you’re doing now are far from thorough.”Kendrick tightened his lips.That was actually true. Dr. Jay, an immunology expert, had said the same to him.Based

    As Kendrick had expected, Seraphina indeed showed up.He glanced at Jax and signaled him with his eyes. Jax tore the tape off Seraphina’s mouth.Kendrick approached Seraphina. "Miss Seraphina, I apologize for treating you so roughly."Seraphina gave him a cold look."How did you know I would come?"Kendrick curled his lips slightly. "It was fairly easy to guess."The day Annabelle visited the calligraphy and painting market, she had an accidental encounter with Seraphina, and coincidentally, she lost the key to Lavender Villa that day.Kendrick didn’t believe it was a coincidence. He suspected that Seraphina had stolen Annabelle’s key.If Seraphina had stolen the key, what did she want to do with it?Kendrick had considered many possibilities—was she planning to infiltrate Lavender Villa and assassinate him? It was possible, after all, Seraphina was under Ryan, and she might be carrying out an ass

I’ll have people keep an eye on you until you bring Emilia to me."Linda smirked. "Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid. Besides, who would turn down money?"Marvin snorted. "It’s best if that’s true."He reached for his glass again, but Linda grabbed it out of his hand."Mr.Gregory, you need to get a grip. Stop drinking. It’s a troublemaker, didn’t you learn your lesson the last time you got humiliated?" She glanced at his lower abdomen and winked.Teased again, Marvin grew angry and annoyed, reaching out to grab her chin. But the little woman quickly dodged and slipped away.Linda left the room, and the place fell quiet.Marvin took another sip of his drink.He couldn’t help but imagine the future.When Annabelle sees Emili

    "Business?" Marvin snorted coldly and looked up at her.His once handsome features were now shadowed by a layer of sadness, making him appear somewhat grim and sinister.The girl, however, showed no fear. She met his gaze with a glint of slyness in her eyes.Pouring herself a glass of wine, she swirled the drink, her lips curling into a smirk as she glanced sideways at Marvin."Your beloved woman became your sister-in-law. I bet you’re not happy about that, are you, Young Master?"Marvin tightened his grip on the glass, his expression growing darker and more terrifying."Spit it out. I don’t have time for your nonsense," he said, his tone ice-cold.He was skilled at reading people. Whether they were celebrities or street thugs, he’d encountered all kinds.This woman, Linda, was no exception. The look on her face now clearly indicated she was holding a trump card.She smiled, a slyness that didn’t quite match her age.
