Chapter 161 The Strange Fragrance in the Room

Annabelle hesitated for a moment, was she really that obvious?Looking into the reflective glass, Annabelle felt her heart inexplicably flutter at the bottomless depths of Kendrick's eyes.Whenever he looked at her with that kind of expression, trouble was bound to follow.Annabelle turned around busily and broke free from his embrace."I washed first."After saying that, Annabelle escaped like a fugitive and darted into the bathroom.When Annabelle came out of the bathroom, after changing into the silk nightgown prepared by the maid in advance, she realized that Kendrick had already fallen asleep, and there was a strange fragrance filling the room.Annabelle understood medicine and was also familiar with the smells and effects of various herbs.This scent resembled a kind of hallucinogenic spice, made by blending several herbs together. When burned, it emitted a unique fragrance that could calm the mind in small amounts.

Chapter 162 Something Scarier Than Death

The criminal spoke in Griffinpond language, and Annabelle could barely understand some of it."Such a pretty girl, is it a waste to just leave her like this?""Idiot, keep an eye on your little brother. If anything goes wrong, it's both of us who will end up dead."The two people came to Annabelle's front while talking.At this point, her heart had already sunk almost to the bottom. If the kidnapping was for ransom, there might still be room for negotiation. However, through their conversation, she had already understood that they were not after money, but her life.My fate today was death.Before she died, she might even have faced humiliation.The only thing that gave Annabelle a glimmer of hope was that they were at sea at that moment.

Chapter 163 Surrounded

Annabelle looked at Kendrick in despair. Kendrick, being backlit, had eyes that appeared pitch black. Annabelle couldn't make out the expression on his face, but she could sense a murderous intent emanating from his silence.Actually, I really wanted to say thank you to him. Thank him for helping her at the engagement banquet several months ago.She also thanked him for working so hard for her tonight.But because her mouth was stuck with adhesive tape, she couldn't even say a word of goodbye, only tears welled up.At that moment, the sound of a speedboat engine could be heard in the distance.Kendrick said coldly, "My men will soon surround this ship. If you release her now, I can give you a way out.""Shut up! Get out! Go to the deck!" The scarred man instantly became tense, gasping urgently, "Otherwise, I'll kill her right here!"Annabelle speculated that the criminal might have known that he couldn't escape, so he decided to take

Kendrick was shot!When Annabelle realized this fact, a wave of intense pain surged from the depths of her heart.But she didn't have time to be sad.At this moment, her rope had already been cut. Annabelle first tore off the tape from her mouth and tightly held Kendrick's hand, trying to help him float up.Kendrick, however, hooked her neck and kissed her.This kiss had no lingering meaning, but rather felt like a silent farewell.It was pitch black underwater, but she could feel that Kendrick was about to let go.No!Don't let go!Annabelle couldn't make a sound and could only tightly grip his arm, but Kendrick pushed her away and sank towards the even darker depths of the sea...Almost without hesitation, Annabelle quickly swam towards the direction Kendrick was sinking.She was well aware that the chances of saving Kendrick with her own strength were very slim.Because even though she could hold

Chapter 165 Let's Just Be a Ghost Couple

Although Kendrick always acted like a rascal and sometimes his bossiness annoyed her, Annabelle never wanted to see him get hurt.Is it really true, as my mother said, that she is a jinx and anyone who gets close to her will have bad luck?Annabelle thought more and more, and finally burst into tears."Don't cry... I'm not dead yet..." came the hoarse voice of a man, followed by a violent cough.Annabelle instantly woke up and looked at Kendrick, who was lying on the driftwood."Kendrick, you scared me to death just now!" she said, as more tears welled up.He forced out an ugly smile and wiped away her tears."How could I bear to let you become a young widow?"At this point, I was still in the mood to joke with her. Was it really not that serious, or was I just trying to comfort her?"I didn't want to, you just pushed me away!"Annabelle couldn't help but feel scared when she thought about the decision she had mad

Chapter 166 This Way is More Refreshing

In fact, Kendrick's watch had been specially modified. In times of danger, it could send out a distress signal, and his subordinates could quickly locate him.I didn't really want to scare her anymore, so I decided to tell her the truth.Little did he know, she had no intention of dying with him. If he truly had no hope of survival, she would be able to swim to the small island on her own and live happily ever after.Annabelle sighed inwardly and, although she didn't want to discourage him, she still spoke up."My swimming skills may be better than you think...""You underestimated the power of the sea."Seeing that he still didn't believe her, Annabelle told him.When she was eight years old, she went out to play on a yacht with her family. She was accidentally knocked down and fell into the sea. She drifted on the sea for a day and a night, and was finally rescued by a fishing boat before returning home miraculously.At that

Chapter 167 Waiting for His Return

Kendrick didn't expect Annabelle to do this, and this deep kiss really ignited his cold body.This was a good thing, and also a bad thing.Because the blood circulation accelerated, his wound also bled more.Finally, Kendrick gently pulled away from Annabelle's dutiful kiss."Alright, silly.""Do you feel better?"Annabelle didn't know how much impact her kiss could have, but there wasn't much she could do now."Much better," Kendrick buried his face in her neck and whispered hoarsely, "I just wanted you too much, it's like my blood is flowing faster."The explicit sweet talk made Annabelle's face flush, and she anxiously looked towards the wound on his shoulder, and sure enough, a lot of blood was oozing out again."Kendrick, you were really crazy."He gave a bitter smile and said, "It's good enough to be able to kiss you before dying."At such a time, he still had the mood to say such things!Anywa

Chapter 168 Did he refuse to accept me?

Because Annabelle just said that the man used to visit her every night, Kendrick is particularly sensitive to this kind of sentence.Annabelle thought for a moment, were her relationship with the young master considered close?During the time when she was sick, the young master could only visit her at night because it was inconvenient during the day.The young master personally changed her medicine, held her in his arms, spoon-fed her bite by bite, and also helped her move her fingers and supported her to get out of bed and walk...This kind of contact should be considered intimate, right?"Yes..."Upon hearing this answer, Kendrick felt a mixture of bitterness and sourness in his heart. Suddenly, he became overwhelmed with anger and started coughing violently.He had originally wanted to hear her talk about those happy things, to alleviate the long and painful waiting time. Little did he expect that it would stir up her longing for a

Chapter 169 Not a single person will be let off

Jax did not report immediately, but instead looked cautiously at the sleeping Annabelle.He was a cautious person, holding a guard against anyone, even the boss's favorite.Kendrick nodded at him and said, "Go ahead, speak."Jax began to speak: "The person who kidnapped the lady was bribed by Lisa, with the intention of killing her. Lisa was able to act in the mansion because..."Kendrick frowned and said, "Just say it.""Because she had a relationship with your uncle, but your uncle...""What uncle, Tanner," Kendrick clenched his fist, veins bulging on his forehead out of anger.Jax then changed his tone: "Tanner didn't know Lisa's specific intentions, and he probably didn't expect that Lisa wanted to kill his wife, so he just did as she said and helped her. As for the person who later shot at you, it shouldn't be related to Lisa. I haven't found out their identity yet, but the footage retrieved from the dock shows that they all have

Chapter 170 There is No Such Foolish Spy

Kendrick stared out of the porthole, recalling every detail from before.Looking back on the past few days' itinerary, Annabelle did indeed display many abnormalities.In the concert hall, she was absent-minded. When she arrived at Witchport Manor, she was even more restless and almost mistook someone.No matter what, he needed to investigate these matters thoroughly.After a moment of contemplation, Kendrick said to Jax, "Investigate the identities of the guests in the second-floor VIP room during the concert that night, and see if there were any suspicious individuals.""Okay, I went to deploy immediately.""Wait," Kendrick called out to Jax again, "investigate all of Annabelle's previous experiences before she came to the Gregory family, including everyone she had ever been in contact with.""Yes. So, Tanner, how would you like to handle it?"Kendrick considered for a moment, "You don't need to worry about this, I'll handle
