2025-04-06 18:03:17Ariana’s legs went weak, and she slumped against the wall.
“Miss Murphy, are you okay? Not feeling well?” The man stepped forward to support her, his beady, lecherous eyes scanning her up and down.
“Get out!” Ariana roared, shoving him away.
“Uh… Y-Yes.” The man didn’t dare look at her again and hurried toward the door.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Cael leaning casually against the hallway wall.
“Jack, where are you going? Miss Murphy needs you right now.”
The man, called Jack, hesitated for a moment before blinking his shifty little eyes.
“Brother Yang, she’s the daughter of the Murphy family. I wouldn’t dare…”
“What are you afraid of? I’ve got your back.”
Cael had already told Jack about his sham marriage with Ariana, so when he now insisted that Jack go back in, the man was shocked but quickly understood the situation.
“Go on. Tonight, she’s yours. I only have one request—when I come back, the scene be

Everyone present was an adult—they instantly understood what was happening inside the room.All eyes turned to Cael, the pathetic groom-to-be who had just been humiliated at his own engagement party.Cael did not disappoint. He put on the perfect performance, displaying the emotions expected of him.He first forced an awkward smile and turned to the crowd. “The waiter must have led us to the wrong room.”Then, grabbing the waiter’s collar, he angrily said, “You’ve ruined my fiancée’s reputation! I’m going to file a complaint against you.”The waiter, playing his role well, cried out, “I swear, sir, Miss Murphy really went into this room! If you don’t believe me, see for yourself!”As he spoke, he handed Cael the keycard.Ariana’s parents had no trouble recognizing their daughter’s voice from inside the room.Her father, fearing that this

Madam Lin glanced at the ugly man cowering in the corner, hastily covering his lower half. Her voice caught in her throat, and she couldn’t bring herself to continue.Ariana clutched the side of her face, now numb from the slap. She wanted to cry but held back the tears.She turned to look at Cael.Their eyes met, and Ariana’s heart clenched. Why did it seem like there was a trace of glee in his gaze?Cael snapped out of his stunned state and rushed to the bedside. He grabbed Jack by the collar and threw a vicious punch at him.Jack scrambled to plead for mercy. “Boss, stop! Miss Murphy wanted it! She said she was into something more exciting! I was just following orders!”The crowd gasped in shock.Who would have thought that the supposedly pure and noble Miss Murphy was actually a woman of such insatiable desires? And to have the audacity to engage in this kind of act at her own engagement party… Tsk t

“Ariana, I know it’s hard for you to understand right now, but don’t worry. I’ll prove it to you with my actions. I’ll convince my mother, and then I’ll marry you.”After speaking, Cael took out a blister pack of pills, pressed out two, and handed them to Ariana.“This is the antidote. Take it, and you won’t feel uncomfortable anymore.” He also passed her a glass of water.Ariana eyed him warily, then let out a cold laugh. “Cael, if you were really concerned about my discomfort, why not just sleep with me directly? Why even bother with the medicine?”Suppressing the hatred and disgust she felt toward him, she wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing her lips close to his.“I know you don’t actually like me. What are you really plotting?”“You probably think I’m a freak, but this is just who I am. I’ll do whatever it takes to have you. I don’t care whether I was your first—I only care if I can have you forever.”His voice was filled

Cael carried Ariana back to the bed and carefully tucked her in.As he watched her eyes slowly close and her breathing become steady, the gentleness on his face vanished.Sleep well, Ariana… it won’t be long before you won’t have such peaceful nights anymore…He stood up, walked out of the suite, and left the hotel.Standing by the roadside, he pulled out a pack of wet wipes from his pocket, carefully wiping his lips and hands. Then, he tossed the used wipes into a nearby trash can.Now that the scent of Ariana was gone from him, he felt like he could finally breathe again.Cael took a deep breath and looked up at the dark night sky.“Hui, do you think I was too cruel to her? But compared to what you went through… I’ve been far too merciful.”The Next Day.Ariana woke up from the haze of the previous day, her mind finally clear.Shame burned through her, and fury

Ariana looked at Annabelle, who was being held protectively in Kendrick’s arms. Her eyes burned red with jealousy.“Brother Kendrick, I know you won’t forgive me, but I just want to know—after all these years, did you really never have any feelings for me?”Kendrick’s expression was grim, his lips pressed into a tight line.Annabelle glanced between the two of them, then gently pulled herself out of Kendrick’s embrace.“I’ll wait for you outside.”She understood—after everything Ariana had done, Kendrick had still tolerated her time and time again. It was because they had been friends for so many years.Maybe… this was something that needed a clean break.But Kendrick grasped her hand tightly.“You don’t need to leave. There’s nothing I can’t say in front of you.”Annabelle felt his unwavering determination in the warmt

At the same time, in the Nichols family’s old mansion—Julissa’s eyes fluttered open as she regained consciousness.Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains. She lay in bed for a while, clearing the haze in her mind. A clock sat on the bedside table, and she glanced at it.It was already the next morning.Fragments of memory surfaced in her muddled brain.She had attended Ariana’s engagement banquet, helped Scott block some drinks, ended up getting herself drunk, and then… he had carried her out of the banquet hall. After that—she had dreamt.She dreamt of a dance studio, of Scott appearing as she danced. In the dream, she kissed Mr. Nichols… and then she slept with him!Julissa clapped her hands over her burning face. How could I have such a shameful dream?!Her gaze swept the room unintentionally and landed on a set of neatly folded, light pink lounge wear placed beside the bed. It seemed to have been prepared for h

Julissa stepped out of the dance studio and called out from the hallway, “Mr. Nichols?”No response.She glanced around and noticed a staircase leading downstairs. Deciding to investigate, she headed toward it.Just as she reached the stairs, she collided headfirst into a man rushing up.“Ow!” Julissa winced, rubbing her sore nose. She looked up to see who she had bumped into.She blinked. Then blinked again.“No way…” she muttered to herself in disbelief.Standing right in front of her was none other than Julian—an absolute sensation in the entertainment industry and her favorite idol!Julian had come upstairs after hearing a woman’s voice. Now, he curiously observed the girl in front of him.“What do you mean, ‘no way’?” he smirked. “You’re the woman my brother brought home?”Julissa was completely stunned. She nodded blankly. “I’m your fan! I love your new album!”Julian stroked his chin playfully as he

Julissa blinked.She had kissed and hugged him while drunk, even made some rather suggestive remarks—shouldn’t he be angry?Unless… Scott actually liked being taken advantage of by her?The thought sent a shiver down her spine.She looked up at him, only to find that his gaze was filled with a mix of emotions she couldn’t quite decipher.Fragments of memories surfaced in her mind. She vaguely recalled that after carrying her to the bedroom, he had said, “Wait for me, don’t fall asleep.”She had obviously fallen asleep afterward, but that also meant that last night, he had wanted to…Julissa found it hard to believe. No, it was impossible.Scott? Interested in her?“Mr. Nichols, I don’t understand what you mean.”Scott’s deep eyes locked onto hers. “Julissa, are you truly this clueless, or are you just pretending?”Her heart pounded wildly.She wasn’t stupid. Nor was she playing dumb.She was j

I wish it were you Chapter 930 Youthful Ambition
What Gauge wanted to discuss with Kendrick was a strategic collaboration between their two companies.Since stepping into the family business, Gauge had discovered a series of issues.Although Lin Jewelry appeared to be thriving, its narrow focus on a single line of business had left it vulnerable to serious challenges.Therefore, Gauge was planning to expand the jewelry and watch business within the next five years into leather goods, fashion products, and the perfume industry.He also proposed merging the group's original real estate construction division with a subsidiary of Gregory's Group. Murphy's Group would retain only a small share—essentially, a disguised sale to Gregory's.But the reason they couldn’t call it a sale outright was because Murphy's Group had started out in the construction industry. Gauge’s father, Simon, still held an emotional attachment to that legacy and couldn’t let go entirely.After the merger of the construction branches, Gauge hoped to acquire Gregory

At first, Annabelle didn’t understand what he was up to. It wasn’t until they were back inside the house that she realized—Kendrick thought she looked a little too sexy wearing his oversized T-shirt, especially since it made it seem like she wasn’t wearing anything on the bottom. It sparked a lot of imaginative thoughts.Annabelle was both amused and exasperated. She lifted the hem of the T-shirt to show him: “I am wearing shorts! They’re just... a little short. But still totally decent!”But Mr. Gregory was persistent. In the end, Annabelle gave in and changed into her own clothes.Once they were both dressed, they returned to the courtyard.Annabelle noticed Gauge hadn’t touched the watermelon and asked why—after all, it was set aside just for him.Gauge pulled a ten-hole blues harmonica from his pocket and said, “If I eat now, I won’t be able to play.”She knew harmonica players had to keep their mouth clean before playing.Then, Gauge handed her his guitar. “Since we’re just hang
I wish it were you Chapter 928 The Sweetest Part Is in the Middle
While Kendrick was cutting the watermelon, Annabelle couldn’t take her eyes off him.How strange—why did everything this man did seem so charming to her? Even slicing a watermelon looked handsome.It was as if her brain had automatically applied a beauty filter to him.Annabelle placed a hand over her chest, trying to calm her racing heart. But the more she tried, the faster it beat. The sweet words he had just whispered, every little expression and gesture of his, were now playing back in her mind like a movie…Kendrick held out the watermelon to her with a grin. “Little fangirl, stop staring. This handsome guy is your husband—100% confirmed.”Annabelle glared at him with a flushed face. “Narcissist!”Then she lowered her head, scooping out a bite of watermelon, determined to focus on eating.Just as she was about to take a bite, she noticed Kendrick had sat down.The other half of the watermelon was still sitting on the small stone platform by the well.“Aren’t you going to eat?”“Y

Annabelle smiled softly, her eyes twinkling with a mix of amusement and affection. "Why do you always have to compare everything?" she asked, her voice gentle and teasing."I just want to know," he replied, his voice low and earnest. He reached out and tucked a strand of Anna's hair behind her ear, his touch light but intimate. "What it feels like for you to be with me."Annabelle fell into deep thought, her gaze drifting away as she considered his question. The room was quiet, filled only with the soft sounds of their breathing and the occasional rustle of the sheets beneath them. After a while, she still hadn't answered. Kendrick sighed, a hint of frustration in his voice. "Is it really that hard to answer?""Hmm... it’s hard to describe," Annabelle murmured thoughtfully, her fingers playing with the edge of the blanket. "Before, when I was with you, just seeing you would throw my heart into chaos. My pulse would race, and I could hardly catch my breath. But now…” She trailed off, h
I wish it were you Chapter 926 Soft Soft
Annabelle hadn’t slept so soundly in a long time.When she lazily opened her eyes and looked out the window, she realized it was already dark.Ever since arriving at her grandma’s house and staying in this quiet little fishing village—far away from her usual life—it felt like she had escaped to another world. Her entire being relaxed, with nothing left to worry about.Kendrick didn’t have to stress over the corporation anymore either.Their biggest daily dilemma had become: what should we eat for the next meal?If only life could always be this carefree...Annabelle slowly sat up. After sleeping for so long, her whole body felt soft and mushy. She got out of bed and wandered into the courtyard, where she saw Kendrick sitting at the small table, smoking.When he heard her, he turned around.“Awake?”Kendrick stubbed out his cigarette and patted his thigh.Annabelle walked over without hesitation or shyness and naturally sat on his lap, arms around his neck, resting softly against his s
I wish it were you Chapter 925 Uncle
Kendrick’s face darkened. “It’s better to date someone older. Look at Mr. Murphy—he’s too young, can’t even cook. How’s he supposed to take care of a girlfriend?”Annabelle raised her eyebrows and gave the sly old fox a glance. Flicking the water off her hands, she smiled and said, “But younger guys are energetic—and no generation gap!”Kendrick let out a sharp “hmph.” “You think there’s a generation gap between us?”“I didn’t say us,” Annabelle teased, eyes twinkling. “Why are you jumping to conclusions? Having a midlife crisis already, Uncle?”The little bunny was obviously up to no good with that mischievous grin.Kendrick glanced at the loquat tree in the courtyard, then squinted at the sunlight filtering through its leaves, trying hard to stay calm.After all, he was turning 31 after the New Year. Couldn’t let a little girl get under his skin, right?But midlife crisis? Really?He was in his prime. A young man!So this young Mr. Gregory looked into the reflection on the glass. He

So Annabelle thought to herself—was Mr. Gregory being a little too proactive?Kendrick asked lightly, “So, do you want to go swimming with him alone?”He deliberately emphasized the word “alone,” as if suggesting she had ulterior motives. Annabelle could only respond, “...I never said that!”“Then that’s that,” Kendrick said calmly, taking her hand and leading her into the house.After a short rest, the three of them began preparing lunch.Gauge was every bit the privileged young master—clearly someone who’d never cooked at home before. He practically didn’t know how to do anything.He was too rough when washing vegetables, to the point of mangling the leaves.Then they had him try chopping vegetables—but the young master, with his obsessive need for precision, insisted on cutting everything perfectly uniform, each slice as neat as the next. At the rate he was going, they’d probably be eating tomorrow’s lunch.Kendrick and Annabelle didn’t even bother expecting him to cook anything. T

Afterward, the three of them returned to Grandma’s house first.Gauge waited in the courtyard while Annabelle and Kendrick brought the things they bought at the market into the house. After grabbing the ingredients they needed for lunch, the three of them headed to Gauge’s place together.When they arrived in front of the white guesthouse, Kendrick couldn’t help but chuckle.That morning, he and Anna had passed by this very spot. He had been wondering at the time—the place had a fresh, elegant architectural style. But there was no signboard, so maybe it wasn’t a guesthouse after all. If it was just a private residence, then it probably belonged to someone with means.Sure enough, his guess wasn’t far off. What he didn’t expect was that this would turn out to be Gauge’s home.After stepping through the front gate, Annabelle couldn’t help but marvel.To build such a charming little courtyard on this sloped hill must’ve taken a lot of thought and care.“Come in, rest a bit. Have some wat
I wish it were you Chapter 922 Just Like Last Night
As Kendrick was lost in thought, Annabelle called out to him, “Let me help you carry a couple of those.”Just moments ago, Kendrick had taken all the shopping bags from her hands—he was carrying everything by himself now.Seeing his forehead glistening with sweat, Annabelle, who now had empty hands, felt both guilty and worried.Kendrick looked back at her, smiled, and said, “I could carry you on my back too, no problem.”“Stop messing around, give me two bags.”Seeing how serious she looked, eyebrows furrowed and all, he finally gave in and handed her two of the lightest ones.But as soon as she took them, Gauge casually took them from her without saying a word.Annabelle: “…”She felt like she’d just become the middleman in a hand-off.Kendrick glanced at Gauge. “Thanks, Mr. Murphy.”His tone and look were both laced with provocation.Even Annabelle thought he was kinda asking for a punch right then.Gauge snorted coldly, “Don’t thank me. It’s not like I’m helping you.”“Tsk, brat…”
