Kendrick smiled. "My stance hasn’t changed. He can come back to the company, but if he tries anything shady, he won’t get away with it."After the company’s restructuring, Marvin wouldn’t be able to threaten his position in the short term, and pulling any dirty tricks would be hard. No matter what, he wasn’t going to close his eyes to Marvin’s actions again."You really went hard on him last time. He and his mother must hate you even more now."Kendrick’s face turned cold. Scott was referring to when Marvin had been set up with the "duck" incident and the media exposed his love for men.Kendrick’s expression darkened. "When he started developing feelings for Anna, he should’ve known how I’d react. That incident was just a small lesson. If he does anything else…"He didn’t continue, but Scott nodded silently. He understood Kendrick’s approach—those scandals had been the lightest punishment Marvin could get."Speaking of which, why did you suddenly bring Julissa here? Finally interested

"Silly girl," Briley said with a smile, adjusting her niece’s crooked earring. "I know Anna. With her temperament, your brother-in-law will surely grow tired of her sooner or later. When that happens, both the Sanchez family and the Castillo family will need you."Lila’s vanity inflated at her aunt’s words."Okay, Aunt, I will definitely try my best!"Briley smiled faintly. "Good, that’s the right attitude."Looking at her niece’s enthusiastic expression, she felt reassured.For the sake of the Sanchez and Castillo families? No. She simply didn’t want Annabelle to be this happy.When she had arranged the marriage between the Sanchez and Gregory families, it was to save the Sanchez Corporation, and because she knew that Annabelle, with her past and her disfigurement, would never be favored in the Gregory family. She would live like a neglected concubine—alone for life.But she hadn’t expected that Annabelle’s appearance had already fully recovered, and Kendrick treated her so well afte

Annabelle shook her head, feeling a bit distracted. The man from earlier—she didn’t recognize him, yet something about him seemed familiar. Where had she seen him before?“Why still looking?” Kendrick lightly tapped her forehead, pulling her attention back.Annabelle rubbed her forehead, about to explain herself, when she heard someone call her name. Turning around, she saw her father walking over.Gavyn’s face was beaming with a nervous yet excited expression, as though a small player had entered the big league. He approached them and said to Kendrick, “I only got the chance to attend this banquet because of you, Kendrick. If it weren’t for you, Mr.Duncan would never have invited me. Now that I’m here, my business partners are looking at me differently. I really need to thank you.”Kendrick smiled lightly, “It’s no big deal, just a small favor.”Annabelle was surprised. So, it was Kendrick who had helped her father attend the event. She also noticed her father was intentionally flatt

Lila nervously clasped her hands together, her eyelashes trembling with anxiety. Annabelle narrowed her eyes. She wasn’t sure if the girl was just too young to hide her emotions or if she was deliberately putting on this innocent, straightforward act—wearing her heart on her sleeve, boldly declaring her affections. As long as Kendrick wasn’t a fool, he’d understand that this girl, who wasn’t even twenty yet, would fall into his arms with just the crook of a finger. Kendrick didn’t look at Annabelle. Instead, he lightly wrapped an arm around her waist, giving it a gentle squeeze—perhaps as reassurance, or maybe just teasing her for being a little jealous. Then, he turned to Lila and said a simple, polite but distant, “Thank you.” At that moment, the band began playing the first dance. Lila took a step forward and asked, “Sister, can I invite my brother-in-law for a dance? You wouldn’t mind, would you?” Annabelle felt uncomfortable. She wanted to say she *did* mind, but th

Annabelle lifted her gaze, thinking about Kendrick's actions earlier, which had made her feel more at ease. Seizing the opportunity when the dance slowed down, she hooked her arm around his neck and boldly kissed his cheek.Annabelle had never been so forward in public before, and the sudden act made her feel a bit uncomfortable. Her face turned a deep shade of red, and she quickly looked away, slightly embarrassed.Kendrick watched her with a deep, amused gaze. "Anna, how about we go upstairs now?" he teased.Annabelle, realizing he was joking, replied with a playful huff, "Dream on.""Ouch," Kendrick said, feigning hurt, "Anna, your attitude toward me is getting worse and worse, huh?"He pinched the soft spot on her waist, making her squirm and nearly lose her composure."Stop it!" she protested, laughing.Kendrick grinned and whispered in her ear, "I'll make you pay for this later."When the dance ended, Kendrick led Annabelle to the side to rest."I'm going to meet Mr.Duncan in a

Ryan glanced at Seraphina, his tone softening a little. "We’ll talk about it later. It's fine."Seraphina nodded and silently stepped back.Annabelle followed Kendrick into the reception room where Mr.Duncan was waiting.Mr.Duncan was dressed in a brown-red Tang suit, his hair slightly graying, but his face was rosy, and his voice boomed with authority, giving off a very dignified air.A woman in a white wrap-around dress was sitting opposite Mr.Duncan on the sofa. She had an elegant aura and a bright, cheerful laugh.When Annabelle and Kendrick entered, the woman was discussing a piece of porcelain on the coffee table with Mr.Duncan. It appeared to be a gift someone had just brought.As soon as Mr.Duncan saw Kendrick and Annabelle, he immediately smiled and greeted them, "Come, come, Kendrick, Annabelle, come sit."Annabelle was surprised that Mr.Duncan remembered her name so clearly, so she and Kendrick exchanged greetings with the elderly gentleman.Mr.Duncan smiled and nodded, giv

Mr. Duncan exchanged a glance with his daughter, Eleanor, who smiled and patted her father's knee, as if to tell him not to rush.Eleanor turned to Annabelle and said, "Earlier, my father and I were discussing this piece. I said it was a antique vase, but the old man insisted it was a antique wine vessel. I wonder what you think, Annabelle?"After carefully examining the vase, Annabelle smiled and said, "Actually, both of you are correct in some ways, but when it comes to the era of the vase, I lean more toward Miss Duncan's opinion."Mr. Duncan took a sip of tea and chuckled, "Please, Annabelle, go on.""This is a prunus vase, which could be used both as a wine vessel or as a flower vase. It first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, becoming popular during the Song and Liao periods. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was mostly used as a decorative item in imperial courts. In terms of shape and lines, the Ming Dynasty prunus vases are fuller and more robust, giving a sense of strength and

Since Eleanor had spoken, Kendrick didn’t say much more. He gently stroked Annabelle’s back and said, “Learn from Mr. Duncan more often. He’s an expert in calligraphy and painting.”“Got it,” Annabelle beamed at him. “You two go ahead.”With that, Kendrick left with Eleanor.Watching the two walk away, Annabelle couldn’t help but feel a little sour inside. But soon, she shifted her focus back to discussing paintings with Mr. Duncan. As they immersed themselves in the details of the artwork, a sense of mutual understanding blossomed between them—like finding a kindred spirit.As they conversed, a young man's voice rang out from outside the lounge.“What’s the topic? Sounds lively. Why wasn’t I invited?”The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Annabelle turned toward the entrance and saw a young man strolling in. He was dressed in a deep blue casual suit, his features sharp and refined, his posture upright yet relaxed. His nonchalant smirk carried an air of mystery, making it hard to gauge

Annabelle bit her lip. She did feel uncomfortable, but she wasn’t like some people who couldn’t tell the difference between jealousy and rage.She understood that Kendrick dancing with Eleanor was just a formality, a gesture in the business world to show that the Gregory and Duncan families would soon collaborate. Even though she wasn’t a businessperson, she understood the logic behind it.“I’m not that childish.”Kendrick smirked, nibbling on her lip. Despite being on the brink of losing control, he patiently explained, “Don’t worry. When I danced with her, we were eight feet apart. A third person could have fit between us.”Annabelle imagined the scene and couldn’t help but smile.As they spoke, his hand had already found its way down her smooth spine, inching lower, making Annabelle gasp for air.The dim light filtering in from the window illuminated him, and she noticed he was drenched in sweat, his eyes bloodshot. The sight made her realize something was wrong.“Why are you sweat
I wish it were you Chapter 449 Pushing Me Away?
By now, Kendrick was drenched in sweat. He casually tugged at his tie and sank into the sofa, sitting in the dark, quietly waiting for the effects of the drug to subside.He took out his phone to call Annabelle, but the call went unanswered until it was automatically disconnected. He dialed again, and the same thing happened.After countless attempts, frustration, worry, and the burning sensation in his body overwhelmed him. He tossed the phone aside, pressing his fingers to his temple in frustration.As time dragged on, each passing second felt like an eternity. His body felt like it was being crawled over by a thousand ants, an unbearable itch gnawing at his very bones.While Kendrick struggled against his desires, Annabelle had returned to the banquet hall.She had been chatting with Elio earlier, but then Julissa called, and the two ladies met again. At that time, Scott had gone off to talk with some business contacts, and Julissa, feeling a bit out of place by herself, wandered a

Kael’s face turned deathly pale upon hearing those words. Without hesitation, he turned to flee.But Eleanor grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back.“Stand right here.” She then turned to Kendrick. “Are you sure?”Kendrick rubbed his temples, his voice hoarse. “Go check for yourself. I’ll leave it to you.”“Wait a moment.”“What now?”Kendrick’s tone was impatient. Why was Eleanor always so troublesome? Couldn’t she see he was in a hurry?Eleanor took a step closer, lowering her voice. “If I find the person who drugged you, how do you want me to handle them?”“Do whatever you want. Just don’t let them off easy.”With that, Kendrick forced himself to maintain his composure, suppressing the intoxicated feeling overtaking him. He quickly left the banquet hall, heading straight for the lounge where Annabelle had been earlier.Eleanor glanced at Kael and smirked. “That drink—make me another one.”“Ah… Miss Duncan, this…”“Hm?” Eleanor narrowed her eyes.Kael’s legs nearly gave out.
I wish it were you Chapter 447 He’s Burning with Desire, but She’s Reconnecting with Another Man?
Kendrick knew that Eleanor was a woman of high principles. She was straightforward, and she would never stoop to sabotaging someone else’s marriage. If she really had an interest in him, she wouldn’t have waited until tonight to show it, nor would she have used such a low tactic. Eleanor met his gaze for a moment before suddenly laughing, letting out a long sigh. “Fine, I’ll be blunt with you. I’m just testing you for Annabelle, or rather, I’m testing you for my brother.” Kendrick was taken aback by the mention of Annabelle. Eleanor was testing him for her? Annabelle didn’t even know her—why would Eleanor care about her so much? When she mentioned her brother, Kendrick became even more wary. “Testing me for loyalty, for your brother?” Eleanor, naturally straightforward, had already grown tired of pretending to be a delicate woman for her brother’s sake. After seeing Kendrick’s reaction earlier, she felt her brother was overthinking it. Eleanor went on to explain how her br

Kael had feelings for Lila, so sending other men to her bed made him uncomfortable.But he figured that after tonight, he would have leverage over Lila—her secrets and weaknesses in his grasp. With that kind of power, he could control her however he pleased.No more work. He could simply hold onto this little rich woman and live the good life.Thinking about how he’d soon have both wealth and beauty, Kael was ecstatic.Meanwhile, Eleanor was also setting a trap for Kendrick.She sipped her wine slowly, sighing. “Watching all of you in your sweet, happy relationships, I can’t help but feel envious. Coming home to a cold, empty house every night… being alone… it’s lonely. I also want someone to keep me warm…”She cast a deep, meaningful glance at Kendrick, thinking that even a fool would understand what she meant.Kendrick looked at her indifferently. “Then why not find someone?”Eleanor smirked. “How about this—I’ll have my driver take Annabelle home first, and we can go somewhere quie
I wish it were you Chapter 445 Watching Him Drink It
“You only sweet-talk me when you need something,” Kael teased, glancing at her pretty face, his narrow eyes narrowing in amusement. Lila didn’t bother to argue. She took out the small package of drugs from her handbag and handed it to Kael, whispering, “I’ve booked a room on the fifth floor, 502. Kendrick is in the small lounge right now. You just need to find a way to mix this into his drink, and follow the plan I told you. Once it’s done, you’ll get this.” She held up two fingers. “Two thousand is too little, right?” Kael flicked the package of drugs. “If Kendrick catches me, I might not make it out of here.” Lila smirked. “Twenty thousand.” Kael paused, then grinned. “Deal! You really are generous, Miss Castillo.” He put the drugs in his pocket and stood up to leave, but Lila stopped him. “Not done yet. There are two small packages inside. If you mess up once, there’s still one more chance. Remember, watch him drink it.” “Okay, don’t worry!” After Kael left, Lila
I wish it were you Chapter 444 Not Afraid of the Cold
From a distance, Lila watched Kendrick, her face scrunched with worry as she grabbed her aunt Briley's hand. "Aunt, why is my brother-in-law dancing with that woman, laughing and talking? Doesn’t that mean he doesn’t really like my sister, but only dislikes me?" Briley frowned slightly, feeling a bit vexed. She said, "Why worry? Just because he rejected you doesn’t mean he doesn’t like you. He might just not want to get too close to you in front of Annabelle." Lila thought about it and reluctantly agreed. "But if that woman gets her chance, won't I lose mine?" Briley gave her a look of irritation. "Why are you so impatient? You need to leave a good impression on Kendrick. Pushing yourself onto him won’t work. If you want a man’s heart, you have to take your time." Lila understood, but she felt that Kendrick had no real impression of her—or maybe none at all. She was beautiful, yes, but Annabelle was even more stunning. Other women at the banquet were no less attractive e
I wish it were you Chapter 443 Feeling Uneasy Without Seeing Him
"Thankfully, he's quite interesting..." Annabelle wasn’t keen on discussing her arranged marriage or the developments between her and Kendrick. After all, it involved personal emotions, and she preferred to keep it private. Elio nodded. He thought that there really wasn’t the kind of relationship between Annabelle and Ryan that he had imagined. It seemed their marriage was just a result of family arrangements. But he wasn’t sure about the current state of their feelings for each other. If they were merely a couple in name, or if Kendrick couldn’t pass Eleanor’s test tonight, then he wouldn’t just stand by and watch. He was eager to compete with Kendrick, to challenge him. Hearing that the dance was coming to an end, Annabelle decided to go find Kendrick. Elio smiled and asked, "What, afraid he’ll be stolen away by Eleanor?" Annabelle awkwardly smiled and denied it. "Then don’t rush. He’ll probably be discussing business with my father soon. I bet you’re not a fan of th
I wish it were you Chapter 442 A Little Bit of Injustice
Annabelle felt a wave of emotion. Looking at the frail and pitiful person from back then, now so healthy and clearly a young master of a prominent family, she couldn’t help but feel happy for him."You were really a bit much earlier, recognizing me but not acknowledging it."He smiled, "I was actually thinking of going a little further and scaring you more, but I was afraid you’d slap me in front of everyone, and that wouldn’t be fun."Annabelle laughed, "How did you become Mr. Duncan’s son?"Elio sighed and smiled helplessly, "I’ve always been his son. It’s just that I was imprisoned by some envious friends for three years, tortured in every possible way. Eventually, they threw me into a ravine to feed the wolves, and that’s when I met you. At the time, I really thought I had encountered a little fairy."Annabelle remembered treating his wounds and still felt a little shaken. She also recalled how hard it was to carry him back, taking many breaks along the way. Smiling, she said, "I
