I wish it were you Chapter 753 Has She Taken a Liking to Kendrick?
Annabelle walked up to the observation window outside the ICU. Through the glass, she saw Liam sitting beside Julissa’s bed, dressed in a sterile gown.He held Julissa’s hands in his, pressing them against his forehead.He looked extremely worried, as if silently praying for her recovery.Annabelle sighed. She knew that although Liam and Julissa had broken up, his feelings for her hadn’t changed.In the past, he had always treated Julissa like a little sister, pampering her—not out of romantic love, but out of familial affection. After their breakup, this sentiment didn’t disappear. Instead, it carried a layer of guilt for not reciprocating her feelings.That was why, even after breaking up, Liam had never stopped keeping an eye on Julissa’s life.He no longer pretended to be her boyfriend, but he truly cared for her like a brother.With something so serious happening to Julissa, there was no way Liam wouldn’t come.But whether Julissa would appreciate his presence was another matter.

Annabelle added, “Auntie, there’s no need to be so polite. If you need anything, just let us know.”Mrs. Hickman smiled sheepishly and said, “Well, actually… I just wanted to ask, Mr. Gregory, do you happen to know any outstanding young men like yourself? Maybe you could introduce one to our Julissa?”Annabelle, who had been feeling rather heavy-hearted, instantly brightened up at those words. She almost burst out laughing.Mr. Gregory was quite the catch, it seemed—he had won Mrs. Hickman’s approval in no time.Even though Mrs. Hickman wasn’t her biological mother, and they had only met twice, for some reason, Annabelle felt an inexplicable warmth toward her, as if she were family.So when Mrs. Hickman praised Kendrick, Annabelle couldn’t help but feel proud.She even wanted to tell Mrs. Hickman that there happened to be a wonderful man, Mr. Nichols, who was already pursuing Julissa!But since Julissa hadn’t accepted Scott yet, she decided to keep quiet for now.Kendrick’s expression

Mrs. Hickman suddenly asked, “Oh, where’s the chicken soup? You didn’t forget, did you?” “Of course not! You’ve reminded me at least a hundred times—I wouldn’t dare forget,” Mr. Hickman replied, pulling out a food container and handing it over. Mrs. Hickman then passed the insulated container to Anna. “Your Uncle Hickman made this fresh this morning. You and Mr. Gregory worked hard yesterday, so you need something nutritious.” Annabelle felt a bit embarrassed to accept it, but Mrs. Hickman was very insistent. Mr. Hickman also reassured her, saying they had made an extra portion. There was enough for both of them, and if Julissa woke up in the evening and the doctor allowed her to eat, there would still be a portion left for her. Since it was a heartfelt gesture from the elders, Annabelle no longer refused and accepted it gratefully, thanking them sincerely. Kendrick then took the insulated container from her, carrying it himself. Anna decided to head back. She told Mr. and Mrs.

Jaime was completely at a loss for words. He didn’t dare outright refuse—after all, Miss Hickman was Madam’s friend. She was beautiful, sharp, and had even been a ballet dancer before. Talented and accomplished—what reason did he have to refuse? But he also didn’t dare agree. If he nodded, Mr. Nichols would surely have his head. At this moment, Annabelle finally understood what Kendrick was getting at. Yeah, why wasn’t Scott here yet? Was he really too tied up with work? After that, Jaime helped Annabelle with the discharge procedures, and she and Kendrick returned to the hospital room to pack up. During this time, Kendrick made a call to Scott and put it on speaker, so Anna could eavesdrop on some gossip. “Where are you?” Kendrick’s tone wasn’t exactly friendly. Annabelle pinched him, reminding him to mind his attitude. Kendrick held her hand, signaling her to stay put and not interrupt. “Tokyo.” Scott’s voice was cold as ever. “How’s Julissa?” “She’s still unconscious. Th

Afterward, Jaime came to the hospital room and informed them that they could leave. Annabelle took Kendrick’s car back to Lavender Villa, while Jaime drove back her little white car, which had been left in the mall parking lot the night before. He used the opportunity to report to Kendrick on some work matters. Once the three of them arrived at Lavender Villa, Jaime sat in the living room and began briefing Kendrick on Ada’s situation. Since it involved Annabelle, she stayed to listen as well. Hearing the report, Annabelle couldn’t help but admire Jaime’s efficiency. At the same time, she finally understood why Ada had targeted her—it all stemmed from Ada’s own misdeeds. After joining Willie’s company as a model, Ada relied on Willie’s favoritism and her own rising popularity to act out recklessly. She bossed around and bullied junior models, treating them poorly. One of these models, Susie, had harbored resentment toward her for a long time. She secretly dug up dirt on Ada’s pas

Kendrick said to Jaime, “Since that’s the case, let’s handle it officially. Organize the collected evidence and file a lawsuit against Susie for slander. Also, find a lawyer for Ada and sue Susie for invasion of privacy and violation of personal image rights.”“Understood, Boss.” Jaime agreed but didn’t leave immediately.Having worked by the CEO’s side for so long, he could tell that his boss wasn’t done talking.Kendrick leaned back, resting his arm on the sofa behind Annabelle. His fingers idly played with a strand of her hair, gently twirling it.“In private, arrange for Susie to get a job at one of our branch offices in another province. It won’t be anything glamorous, just enough to keep her afloat. Whether she takes it or not is up to her. But as for the entertainment industry… she’s done. That place is messy enough without her adding to the chaos.”Annabelle stiffened slightly at his words.Noticing her unease, Kendrick didn’t shy away, even with Jaime present. He asked direct

That soft “Kendrick” made the big boss go completely weak. It was even more powerful than calling him “husband.”This was the first time she had ever called his name so intimately in private.So, he quickly returned the gesture, giving the little woman a kiss. “You’re welcome, Anna.”They exchanged a smile.Suddenly, Annabelle realized—oh no! Jaime was still here! How embarrassing!“You two continue chatting. I’m leaving,” she said, blushing as she stood up, ready to flee the living room.Kendrick grabbed her hand, stopping her.Jaime, with the knowing smile of a single man, said, “Madam doesn’t have to leave. I’ve finished my report. You two carry on. I’ve had my fill of PDA today, so I’ll be heading out.”Kendrick shot him a glare. Tsk! This guy’s getting cheeky now?Smirking, he picked up an orange and made a throwing motion toward Jaime.The assistant bolted immediately, not giving his boss the chance.Annabelle hadn’t expected Jaime to be this amusing, and she doubled over laughi

The call was made to Tokyo. A landline.After four rings, a voice came from the other end—Scott’s.Kendrick closed his eyes briefly. “So, you are there.”“There was an issue. I told you before.” Scott’s voice was low, carrying a hint of strain.“Are you coming back or not?”Before he could answer, Kendrick continued, “It’s up to you whether you return or not. I’m just calling because Anna mentioned that before Julissa’s accident, she told Anna she was still waiting for you. And it was you who told her to wait.”“She’s waiting for me?”“You can ask her yourself. Since Julissa is Anna’s friend—and also a good girl—I’m calling to remind you: if you haven’t figured things out, don’t toy with her feelings. Know who’s worth cherishing and who isn’t. Make sure your priorities are clear.”There was silence on the other end before Scott chuckled.“Kendrick, do you really think I’m that foolish?”“Heh.”“Or do you see me as that much of a jerk?”“Who knows.” Kendrick deliberately jabbed at him.

Annabelle sneezed and turned to glance behind her.She and the young master had already climbed partway up the mountain, walking along a small stone path. The return route seemed steep, and the mountain appeared to be empty except for the two of them. Yet, just a moment ago, she had inexplicably felt as though someone had called her.“Are you already too tired to go on?” The young master stood a little higher up, smiling and waving at her to catch up.Annabelle took a couple of deep breaths. The cool air stung her fragile lungs, causing a slight ache. She hadn’t exercised this much in a long time, and it was a bit much for her, but she still quickened her pace to catch up with the young master.The young master pulled a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it to her. "Drink some water."Annabelle took a few sips, returned the bottle to him, and then wiped the water from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.“Do you remember when I took you hiking when you were a c
I wish it were you Chapter 799 His Conviction
“She left temporarily.” Kendrick replied.The longer they were apart, the more convinced he became that something was wrong on Anna’s end.That was why he had stopped waiting for her call.Instead, he was focusing on delivering a powerful counterattack against Ryan.Perhaps, once he defeated Ryan, Anna would naturally return to him.“I told you before—if you couldn’t protect her properly, you should’ve handed her over to me. And now? You’ve lost her!” Marvin said bitterly.“Are you done? You can leave now.”Marvin let out a cold snort and tossed a document onto his desk.“Just to be clear, I’m not helping you—I’m helping the Gregory family.”Kendrick narrowed his eyes, picked up the document, and skimmed through it quickly.“Looks like you’re not as useless as I thought.”Marvin lifted his chin arrogantly. “Just make sure the Gregory Group survives first. Then, go find Anna. When that time comes, I’ll still compete with you for her—I only acknowledge you as my rival in love!”With tha

The young master smiled at her. “Let me check your pulse first.”“Alright…”Annabelle extended her wrist, allowing him to take her pulse.She had actually already checked herself—there was nothing wrong aside from some lingering weakness.Still, she waited for his assessment.After a moment, he smiled. “You're recovering well, but you're too weak—probably due to a lack of exercise. How about this? Anna, accompany me for a hike today, and afterward, I'll take you back to Elfhedge.”Hearing his promise, Annabelle let out a sigh of relief.“Alright, let’s go now!”She had wanted to get out for a while now.And with spring just beginning, she longed to go out and enjoy the fresh air.So, they changed into comfortable hiking clothes, left the villa, and followed a mountain path into the depths of the forest.Anna walked ahead, while Ryan followed behind.Watching her slightly pale face, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain—along with a deep sense of guilt, knowing that he was the one

First, the Gregory Group’s business partners were poached by the the Whitney Group. Then, the the Whitney Group aggressively competed for market share, swiftly taking over more than half.Next, Kendrick’s research and development projects were overtaken, with core team members breaking their contracts to join the the Whitney Group.To make matters worse, a newly developed the Gregory Group real estate project was exposed for having quality issues. Rumors even spread that it was built on a graveyard, bringing bad luck.This series of blows left Kendrick in a dire financial situation.Smaller projects also suffered under the Whitney Group’s suppression.In short, he was being forced into an increasingly passive position.The business world was like this—fierce battles fought in the open, and silent killings carried out in the dark.One could rise to glory in an instant—or collapse just as quickly.This time, Ryan hadn’t sent any assassins.Yet, he was still pushing Kendrick toward destr

The next morning, Jax arrived at Lavender Villa and reported his latest investigation findings to Kendrick in the living room.The gang that Annabelle and Uncle Trey encountered that day was indeed out for revenge on behalf of the ex-convict.They had been watching Anna for a while, following her and Uncle Trey into the mountains of their own accord—not under anyone’s orders.As for how Ryan knew Anna’s exact location, Jax placed a transparent plastic bag on the coffee table. Inside was a small black device, about the size of a keyboard keycap.“This was found under Anna’s car,” Jax explained. “A tracker, likely planted by Ryan’s men.”That was how Ryan had pinpointed Anna’s location. He must have noticed the abnormal speed and route of her car that day and rushed over immediately.As for why Kendrick had failed to arrive in time—Jax had also tracked down those responsible for the road obstructions.They had, without a doubt, been acting under orders. And it was almost certain that th

When two people are deeply intimate, even the slightest emotional shift in one can be immediately sensed by the other.Scott noticed it the moment Julissa became distracted.He pulled away from her lips.“What are you thinking about? You’re so absent-minded,” he said, displeased.Julissa hesitated, unsure how to bring it up.How was she supposed to tell him… that she had been with another man?Of course, she could choose to hide it or simply never mention her past. But what if he did care?If he did, then he was nothing more than a controlling chauvinist. And in that case, they wouldn’t be happy together anyway.She had always felt that men who obsessed over whether their girlfriend was a virgin had a strange kind of psychological fixation. Even if they got married, he might eventually use it against her, turning it into a weapon of humiliation and resentment.If that was the case, then she should leave now rather than later.She acknowledged that her drunken mistake had been impulsiv
I wish it were you Chapter 794 Guarding Against the ‘Wolf’
That day, as Mrs. Hickman left the hospital, she continued reminding Julissa to always protect herself as a young woman.Julissa was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear. In the end, she pretended to feel unwell, which was the only way to finally make her mother stop.That night, after finishing his work, Scott arrived at the hospital to keep her company.For the past few days, Julissa had been telling her parents that Anna was staying with her at night, and when Anna wasn't available, a nurse would take over.In reality, it had always been Scott by her side.Now that her parents knew about their relationship, they did something unprecedented before she went to bed—they video-called her.They said they just wanted to check in on her, but Julissa knew the truth: they weren’t comfortable leaving her alone with Scott in the hospital room.They even had lingering doubts about his identity. It was probably hard for them to believe that their daughter had actually found herself a powerful
I wish it were you Chapter 793 How Should She Explain It to Him?
The husband and wife exchanged glances, instantly understanding each other's concerns.As for whether the young man's words were true or not, they would need to privately question their daughter—or better yet, do some investigating themselves.Scott sensed their unease and guessed they wanted to have a talk with Julissa. Understanding the situation, he tactfully stood up, saying he had work to attend to and would return later in the evening.Before leaving, he glanced at Julissa. "Get some rest. I'll be back later."Julissa waved at him absentmindedly, feeling a wave of relief now that the "meeting" was over. At least nothing too disastrous had happened.As soon as Scott stepped out of the hospital room, he let out a deep breath. His back was already damp with sweat.That was more nerve-wracking than a business negotiation...But he could tell that Julissa’s parents were honest, down-to-earth people who deeply loved their daughter. Growing up in such a warm and caring family, it was n
I wish it were you Chapter 792 The Father-in-Law Examines His Future Son-in-Law
Previously, Julissa had never formally introduced Scott to her parents. Every time they visited, she would find an excuse to send him away.Besides, Scott was busy during the day, with too much company business to handle. Most of the time, he only visited at night.Her parents had only met him once before, and at that time, Julissa had brushed it off, saying he was just a colleague.Well, that cover story wasn’t going to work anymore.Her parents had caught them kissing. There was no way she could still claim they were just coworkers—that would just be shameless.Julissa decided to come clean.“Dad, Mom, let me formally introduce you. This is my… boyfriend, Scott.”The word boyfriend still felt unfamiliar coming out of her mouth. She didn’t dare to look at her parents’ expressions, for some reason feeling like she had committed a crime just by being in a relationship.“Yeah, we figured,” her father said, clearly displeased that she had kept this from them.Then, he turned to Scott, hi
