Chapter 791 Where Are Your Hands Going?

This was their second kiss since getting together.Scott was gentle, but Julissa had little experience in this area. She quickly found herself short of breath, instinctively parting her lips as if fighting him for oxygen.This unintentional response, however, was taken by Scott as a sign of affection, stirring something deep inside him.He had been holding back these past few days.Julissa didn’t remember that they had already been intimate once, nor could she recall the details of that night.But Scott did. And he remembered it vividly.Now that they were officially a couple, his thoughts about that night had only grown stronger.It was like finally being given permission, only to be denied the reward—this frustration was something only he understood.He didn’t want to seem like a man who only thought with his lower half, so when he couldn’t be physically close to her, he exercised extreme restraint.After all, Julissa was still in the hospital, recovering from serious injuries.

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

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

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

Chapter 795 Easy to Love, Hard to Leave

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

Chapter 796 Do Not Miss Me

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

Chapter 797 Leaving Today

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

Chapter 798 One of Us Is Destined to Die

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

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

Chapter 800 I Forgive You

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
