"It's no trouble. After you, Mr. Winston." Sam wasn't a petty man. Although Sam had only invited Daniel along out of courtesy, Daniel wouldn't reject the offer since it was already made. Sam opened the backseat door for Daniel to get into the car. As he did, he glanced at Daniel's palm. He could still see traces of blood seeping out. From that, he knew that the wound was quite deep. For a moment, he didn't know if he should feel happy about Daniel's misery or not.But Sam didn't take an extra look. Once Daniel took a seat, he closed the door and headed to the driver's seat. After getting into the car, Rebecca closed her eyes. She seemed to have fallen asleep. Daniel and Sam didn't talk either. Thus, the car ride proceeded in silence. Half an hour later, the three arrived at the hospital.When the car stopped, Rebecca opened her eyes and got out before anyone could wake her. It seemed that she hadn't been sleeping during the trip at all. After Sam parked the car and
Seeing Rebecca's reaction, Ethan became anxious. He was afraid that she would cry, so he quickly comforted her. "I'm really fine. You can look if you don't believe me."As he spoke, Ethan reached his hand out from under the coat. His wound had been bandaged in a thin layer of gauze, but Ethan could still move it. It was obvious that the wound wasn't too bad. It was just that his cut-up shirt had lots of bloodstains on it. It made it look a bit horrifying.Penny helped Ethan out too. "The wound wasn't very deep, just a bit wide. The doctor said it'll be fine in two days as long as it doesn't get wet. There won't even be a scar." She said all this quickly and smoothly. It was only after she did that she recalled Rebecca's own injuries. Feeling that she'd done something wrong, her expression turned guilty.But it seemed that she was overthinking. The three didn't seem to mind her words at all.Sam even joked, "Don't you move. If you do, there might be an even bigger injury."
"You don't get it?" As Sam stared at Penny, who looked thoroughly confused, his eyes became tinted with mirth. "If you drive, I won't be the one sending you home."Penny was at a loss for words. She suddenly couldn't find anything to say in answer to him. Sam, however, seemed proud of himself. "Any more questions?" he asked.Penny shook her head. "N-no." She'd been turned around by Sam's logic, and now her brain was in a bit of a mess. Based on the logic, there wasn't much issue with this arrangement. She didn't want to trouble Sam, so Sam wouldn't be the one to send her home if she drove. She would be sending him home instead!That was it. Penny managed to convince herself of this, even if she still felt like there was something wrong with the logic.Sam didn't give her more time to think about it. Seeing how confused she was, he only laughed. "Since there's no problem, go ahead and drive.""Oh, alright." Penny couldn't figure it out, so she nodded and assented. Then, she unloc
Ethan raised an eyebrow. He didn't ask about the supposed gift, putting it aside for the moment. The anger on his face had dissipated a lot. He couldn't help but say, "You sent your company's talent home? Are you sure you didn't use Ms. Lowe as a driver? Ethan, Becca said that's not how people pursue someone they like. You …""Who said I'm pursuing her?" Sam immediately refuted. He twisted the bottle cap open and glugged down some water. "I think you and Rebecca have too much free time, speculating about nothing from the sidelines.""Yes, alright. You're not pursuing her at all." Ethan snickered. Sam put down his bottle of water and said, "You don't believe me, do you, punk? You dare tease me!""Of course not. By the way, didn't you say you received a huge gift? What is it?"Sam gave up on the previous topic and switched to this one. He smiled once this matter was brought up. He splayed lazily on the couch. "It's nothing much. Just that my company's talent recorded clearer video
Rebecca had heard the news from Ryan since not many in the wealthy circles knew about this. Ryan said that Daniel had left after receiving a call early in the morning. Even without putting the phone on speaker, the sounds of crying could be heard through the line. Just listening to it caused a headache to come on.Now, though, Ryan's tone was calm. He didn't sound like he felt bad for his friend at all. Conversely, he seemed to be quite happy about it."I really don't know why Daniel still bothers with that woman. It's bad enough that he was so blind in the past. Why is he still going to see her after yesterday? Don't you think he's being an idiot?"Ryan didn't much like the Brown family, so he didn't go to the banquet last night. But their circles were only so big, so the news of what happened had already spread everywhere. It was just that everyone was smart and talked about it quietly. They were not like Jessica, who was dumb enough to sell the news to the media.At the mome
After Rachel said that, Rebecca really felt embarrassed. Just as she was wondering if she should reject or delay the visit, Rachel spoke again."Since we're talking about it, why not tomorrow? Do you have time, Becca? It's George's birthday tomorrow, too. Although he's not here anymore, he always liked a celebration. And he liked you even more. Let's all gather at the Winston residence. George will be overjoyed to see us together even in heaven."Rachel's reasoning was absurd, but Rebecca couldn't reject her for it. George … He was someone who treated her well even after Jessica had returned. He treated her sincerely and earnestly well. If George were still alive, he would have wanted Rebecca to visit him and celebrate his birthday.Rebecca looked down and stayed silent for a moment. As Rachel waited silently for an answer, Rebecca made a noise of assent. "Mrs. Winston, what if I come by after work tomorrow? It might be a little late, but if you don't mind …""I don't mind. It's
Fearing that Daniel wouldn't agree, Rachel hurriedly spoke up."You can discuss marrying Jessica later, but we owe an explanation for the suffering Becca has endured. Since you've already decided to divorce Becca, you shouldn't have kept dragging it on! Now, you're showing concern for the woman who mistreated her in her childhood as her husband. Have you thought about how Becca feels?""I admit I didn't think this through, but this is too urgent. I will apologize to Becca when I see her tomorrow night."Surprisingly, Daniel didn't remain silent this time. After Rachel finished speaking, he continued.Rachel hadn't quite grasped the situation yet. She assumed Daniel wouldn't come back. So she continued speaking her mind."When I called Becca, she sounded like she didn't want to return to the Winston's residence. She's been back for quite some time but still hasn't found time to visit me. Do you know what that implies? It means the girl wants to sever ties with our family! I'm makin
The next afternoon, Rebecca left Four Seasons earlier than usual as she had plans for dinner with Rachel.She had also informed her servants that she would be visiting the Winston residence to visit Rachel and would return later in the evening. She wanted to make sure they didn't worry about her.Ethan was slightly unhappy about it, but he didn't stop her.On second thought, the Winstons' presence had played a role in preventing Rebecca from getting kicked out of the Brown family. They also ensured she grew up well.Rebecca had spent the first fourteen years of her life as a pampered young lady. She suddenly got kicked out by her own family and was forced to adapt to the world. She could have gotten abducted by human traffickers before even learning how to do laundry and cook.The Winstons saved Rebecca and provided her with a meal.The Browns were to be blamed for the scars on her body.Hence, Ethan didn't have a problem with the two elders in the Winston family. He simply felt
