Inside Cael’s car.

Ariana’s face was extremely sour.

"Cael, even if you want to flirt with women, can’t you tone it down a bit? At least don’t do it at the Gregory family’s place."

Cael chuckled. "Isn’t it more exciting this way?"

"You’re really sick."

"lol, don’t tell me you’ve never thought about anything dirty. We’re basically the same kind of people."

Ariana ground her teeth in frustration and replied, "Don’t mix me with you. I’m just worried you’ll let your hormones get in the way and mess up our plan."

"Don’t worry." Cael paused for a moment, then added, "And what do you mean by hormones? I’m just being direct about what I want."

Ariana shot him a glare. "As long as you get the job done, you can do whatever you like."

"Of course. At the engagement party, I’m the one getting humiliated and cuckolded. I’m risking my own reputation to help you; I’ll make sure it’s a success."

Ariana was stirred by the thought of their plan and felt excitement bubbling inside her.

She and Cael were

The garden was filled with various winter-blooming plants along the center and walls, creating a colorful and lively atmosphere.Annabelle admired the flowers along the way, complimenting the vibrant blooms and the care taken in maintaining them.Seeing her in a relatively good mood, Kendrick figured nothing too serious had happened tonight.

    Kendrick was taken aback at first, not understanding why she kissed him, but when he saw the playful glint in her eyes, he quickly figured out her thoughts. Smiling, he pinched her cheek."Anna, you’ve always cared about Ariana, haven’t you?""I don’t!" Annabelle turned her head proudly, pretending to admire the flowers.Kendrick chuckled and gently turned her back around. "Alright, whatever happens between her and Cael doesn’t concern us. We don’t need to worry about it."Kendrick understood that ever since their first meeting, when Annabelle suggested he let the grass pot Ariana gave him overgrow instead of regularly cleaning it, he had known that she was uneasy about his relationship with Ariana.Later, when they went golfing together and Ariana fainted in his arms, Annabelle had clearly been upset.Perhaps from that moment on, Annabelle had sensed something more from Ariana, a kind of hidden intention.But Kendrick hadn’t been perceptive enough to see Ariana’s affection for him, n

    At that time, Kendrick must have been very angry and sad. His stepmother had been clearing out his mother’s belongings, not even sparing a few flower pots. She dared to do that, which must have been tacitly approved by Colten.Fortunately, Trey had been there for him, giving him comfort and encouragement. This was probably why Kendrick had always been so close to Trey.After a while, Kendrick smiled and gently rubbed the top of her head. “It’s alright. I’m fine.”Annabelle replied with a soft "Oh..." But she noticed his eyes were red, and she really wanted to comfort him by patting his head."Many people think the epiphyllum has bad connotations. When Lydia threw the epiphyllums away, she said that the flowers were unlucky. Even Father agreed. So why do you like them so much, Anna?"Annabelle pursed her lips and replied, "There’s no such thing as good or bad plants. What people call lucky or unlucky is just something they’ve attached to them. In fact, the phrase 'like an epiphyllum' h

    Kendrick's voice had become somewhat sour, and Annabelle responded, "I don’t distrust you...""Then listen to me," he said softly, pulling her into his embrace from behind.Just moments ago, he had almost let slip the name of Ryan. He and Ryan had reached an agreement—temporarily keeping from Annabelle the fact that her Master was actually Ryan. Otherwise, Ryan might tell her about Emilia’s existence.Kendrick wasn’t ready to explain this to her yet. He was afraid she would overthink it, and he hadn’t fully handled the situation himself.Annabelle remained lost in thought, still looking troubled."What are you thinking about?" Kendrick asked."I was thinking about when I’ll get better," Annabelle sighed, feeling frustrated. Every time she thought about her weak body and the poison inside her, things she couldn’t do, it made her feel miserable.Kendrick smiled lightly. "Don’t worry. I was just about to tell you."He took out his phone, logged into the health check center, and showed he

    In the VIP ballroom of the Imperial Hotel in Elfhedge, a grand engagement party was underway."Let's welcome the groom-to-be and the bride-to-be to have their opening dance!"The groom-to-be, Marvin Gregory, burst into laughter after hearing what the emcee said."Opening dance? You might have thought too highly of that ugly creature!"Upon hearing that, everyone turned to Annabelle Sanchez, the bride-to-be, who had just become a laughingstock.Wearing a veil, she stood quietly on the stage.People started to gossip. Some said that Annabelle, the third girl of the Sanchez family, was disfigured by a fire when she was a child, and she had been living in Springvale Temple in the mountains ever since. She never even went to college.Marvin, on the other hand, was the second eldest son of the Gregory family, handsome and influential. It was reasonable for him to disdain her.That being said, Annabelle was from a prestigious family. Everyone assumed that she was probably on the verge of she

    Annabelle was stunned, her brows knitting in confusion.She thought to herself, "It's easy to break off an engagement, yet things are much more complicated when it comes to a divorce. Why bother?'She pondered for a second and said, "OK. But I have a demand."Kendrick smiled helplessly and thought, 'That's rich'But still, he said, "Name it. I can't guarantee you a yes, though."He had a playful expression on his face, making him look like a cunning fox. No one could tell what was on his mind.Annabelle frowned and said righteously, "Sex is definitely off the table after we get married."She looked like a soldier trying to defend her territory. Seeing that, Kendrick couldn't help but grin."Seriously, Ms. Sanchez? You think having sex with me is a loss for you?"Annabelle felt that her cheeks were burning. She thought, 'What a narcissist! Who knows what it's gonna be like? Well, it's true that he is handsome, tall, upright, and dignified in every manner. Yet I'm no nympho, and I don't

    Annabelle could distinctly smell the faint aroma of cedar, mixed with a faint smell of alcohol, coming from Kendrick. Combined with the dim light in the car, she felt that the atmosphere was way too erotic.She felt her face getting hotter and hotter. When she tried to push him away, he grabbed her wrist.Kendrick clutched her slender wrist as he raised the corners of his lips, looking discontented."Ms. Sanchez, we're getting married, and yet you won't even let me see your face? That's not very sincere. Don't you think so?Annabelle thought, 'It seems that I just can't get away from it. Fine, then. I'll show him what he wants. Sooner or later, he's gonna see it anyway'.She sighed silently and said, "Step back a little, please."Kendrick grinned as he let go of her wrist."What? You don't wanna scare me?"While he was teasing, she had already taken off her veil.Kendrick was stunned.He had a feeling that she wouldn't be ugly, yet he didn't expect her to be that pretty.With fine fea

    Kendrick acted seriously and stroked Annabelle's hair. "All done now. Let's go."She pressed her hair which he had tousled while thinking, 'I know that he was about to rub my head. What a cunning fox! He's such an actor!'Holding that thought in mind, she walked into the lobby together with Kendrick.The marriage registration went smoothly. When it came to the wedding photo session, they came to the studio together and were seated in a chair.Kendrick naturally put his hand on Annabelle's shoulder.Annabelle frowned and glanced at his hand, and then she glared at him.Yet Kendrick didn't see any problem. "It's what couples do when taking photos.""Mr. Gregory, it sounds like you're quite experienced."Annabelle said so with a smile, and then she shoved his hand away without hesitation.Seeing the slightly angry look on her face, Kendrick found her just like a gentle kitten who suddenly flashed its claws and scratched his heart.He felt ... a bit itchy.

    The sounds of the couple’s intimacy outside were enough to make Annabelle feel so embarrassed she wished she could just disappear into thin air. What startled her even more were the words Cael had said.It turned out that he and Ariana weren’t really in a romantic relationship, and he had already been secretly involved with Charlotte earlier in the afternoon. Ariana knew about it as well. In other words, there was no need for her to warn Ariana after all.The conversation outside only grew more obscene, with Cael saying things that made Annabelle cover her ears in discomfort. "Why, God? Why must I be forced to witness two shocking incidents in a single day?"Should she go out and interrupt them now? Annabelle felt she would burst from the awkwardness. Should she just wait until they were done? That would surely drive her mad.She needed a way out. After a moment of thought, she took out her phone, cranked the volume up to maximum, and began playing a funny video.Sure enough, as soon

    Cael stood up first, pulling Ariana's chair back for her and gently guiding her out of the dining room. He looked every bit the gentleman.Charlotte also got up, adjusting her skirt and lowering her head. She shot a shy glance at Cael, her lips pressed together.As Cael passed by her, he boldly reached out and pinched Charlotte’s bottom.Annabelle saw the whole thing.This man was absolutely outrageous!Though she knew there were good and bad men in the world, seeing it firsthand was an entirely different matter.Should she warn Ariana?She debated for a moment. Ariana was engaged to Cael, but she had been pining for Kendrick even after that. Cael and Ariana were both equally at fault in their relationship, so maybe she shouldn't interfere.But as she thought about it, Annabelle felt she couldn’t stay silent. Regardless of her personal grudges with Ariana or whether Ariana was truly in love with Cael, she couldn’t watch another woman marry a man like that without doing something about

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 538 Under the Table

    Annabelle chatted with her grandfather for a while about her endorsement of Lin's Jewelry. Grandpa Gregory reminded her to work hard but not to overwork herself. He also told her that, in the workplace, she would inevitably encounter all kinds of people. Even though everyone knew she was the young mistress of the Gregory family, there might still be some people plotting behind her back. If she ever faced unfair treatment, she shouldn’t be afraid to stand up for herself.His careful advice made Annabelle feel a little emotional. In her grandfather's eyes, she was still a child without much social experience. But since she was ten, she had lost her family's protection. If she hadn’t learned how to protect herself, she might not even be alive today. The current her was no longer the Annabelle who could be easily bullied."Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll take care of myself," she reassured him.Grandpa Gregory nodded in response. Just then, the head chef brought out a new dish. Grandpa invited

    After hearing Annabelle’s explanation, Grandpa nodded. "Today's journalists are too fond of sensationalizing things."Annabelle smiled. "Being a journalist must come with a lot of pressure. They’re just trying to make a living. I don’t really like this kind of shameless reporting, but I can understand their position."She felt a little guilty as she said it.But with Ariana going back on her word, losing the swimming bet, and still trying to target her, Annabelle was irritated.Ariana wanted Grandpa to dislike her, right? Well, Annabelle would show her whether her little tricks would work.As expected, after Annabelle finished speaking, Lydia couldn't help but praise her: "It's rare for Annabelle to think this way!"Grandpa also agreed, smiling as he said, "Annabelle is just too kind. She should be more cautious when dealing with others."Annabelle felt pleased by the compliment but also a little guilty. She wasn’t as innocent as she made herself seem, though.Just as she was thinking
