last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
But humans always had a habit of thinking positively about things.

Especially when it came to family, the idea of get-togethers and making meals together was deeply ingrained in everyone's mind.

Even if they had witnessed Penny's misfortunes, seen Penny being beaten and scolded by Spencer, heard Beatrice call her a "financial burden", and knew that Julia ignored her…

They still hoped Penny could take a step back and forgive her parents.

The servants walked with Penny for a while as she started leaving the villa.

Even after witnessing a daughter beating her father up, knowing what disgraceful things Spencer had done, their words were still conciliatory.

"What Mr. Lowe did today was indeed over the line, but no matter what, he is still your father. This relationship cannot be severed, unlike a marriage where a clean break can be made after a divorce.

"If you act too heartlessly, people might gossip about you in the future. If you really can't stand this family, just come back duri

    Sophia didn't hold anything back. She had worked as a maid in the Lowe family for many years and knew more than she should.Given the huge commotion from that argument back then, she would have heard of it even if she hadn't intended to eavesdrop on the Lowe family's gossip.These things shouldn't be known to a child. After all, what good would it do for an innocent child to know their parents' grievances?If the child knew, they might blame themselves, thinking their birth was a mistake and a disaster that burdened their mother.But now, Penny had grown up. She was independent and even dared to defy patriarchal authority. She would protect herself against unfairness, so it shouldn't matter if she knew these things.With this thought, Sophia began to tell Penny about the past.She also had another, smaller motive. Seeing Julia give Penny the bank card earlier, Sophia, being a mother herself, couldn't believe any mother could be completely heartless.She thought Julia still had s

    As they continued toward the gate, Sophia talked about many things.Penny showed no impatience and even slowed her pace, occasionally responding to Sophia with a word or two.She thought perhaps it was because she had never heard such words growing up. Even though she didn't like what Sophia was saying, she was willing to quietly listen to her.Since she didn't have her family's love, she felt like a thief, cautiously stealing and savoring these emotions that didn't belong to her.But no matter what, someone did care about her. So, she felt satisfied.While she didn't take Sophia's words to heart, it didn't stop her from pretending to have listened.At the gate, Penny smiled and thanked her."Thank you, Ms. Sophia. I will keep your words in mind and come back to visit you all when I have time."She meant visiting the people in the villa who were kind to her, not her parents.She waved with a smile. "I'll head back now. You and everyone else should take care of yourselves."So

    Her high school homeroom teacher was someone special to Penny.After all, once she started high school, besides during breaks, their activities were confined to the school. It could be said that the school was where she spent most of her time during these three years.And accompanying her, besides her classmates, was this hardworking homeroom teacher of hers.Before moving out of the Lowe family's villa, Penny, who disliked living with her parents, still didn't feel like she belonged.As a result, she would come home very late every day and get up very early, trying to spend as little time as possible at the villa.That small building, which might or might not have belonged to her, eventually became just a place for her to sleep.It was not her private space, much less her home. It was just a place for her to rest.Because she got up early, she was usually the first to arrive at the classroom every day. Even so, she would always see her homeroom teacher, Sara Cameron, a minute o

    Sara didn't rush to give her an answer. Instead, she listened to Penny slowly recount what had happened that afternoon, deciding to offer her advice after hearing the full story.As for the final decision, she believed it should still be left to Penny. At such a pivotal moment in life, Sara didn't feel she could decide for someone else.If the wrong path was chosen, Penny might end up resenting her.This was Sara's principle—every year after students received their scores, she would weigh the pros and cons of each option and let the children make their own decisions.But after hearing Penny's story, Sara was furious."How could there be such a father in this world? In all my years of teaching, I've never encountered such a person!"She had dealt with parents who were alcoholics, abusive, or hands-off in various ways.But she had never seen a parent who would push their own child into the fire like this, especially on the day of the college entrance exam.Even those parents who

  • Yearning for Her Return    Chapter 1027 The Unexpected

    Penny's absence from the last exam became widely known. The news didn't come from Sara but from a few close classmates who asked her how she did on the exam.Penny didn't hide the truth and briefly explained that she missed the exam due to an unexpected incident. However, she only shared the specific details with Cecilia.The classmates didn't gossip about Penny's situation. Instead, during their free time, they sent her motivational messages, subtly reassuring her that life had many paths and one exam shouldn't be a cause for despair.Penny took screenshots of these messages, feeling both amused and touched.These young hearts' sincerity, untainted by any self-interest, was something she would forever remember.In the years to come, Penny often looked at these screenshots saved in her cloud storage, especially during her lowest moments.When she was being undermined in the industry, all her resources were taken away, and even her blood relatives stepped on her, it was these word

    The incident happened during their senior year when they were about to start their internships. Cecilia's grandmother, Scarlett, suddenly fell ill and was taken to the hospital by a neighbor.During her university years, Penny often returned to Riverwood, the place where she grew up, harboring a sense of nostalgia. However, she never went back to the Lowe residence.Even on New Year's Eve, she stayed elsewhere, only returning on the first day of the new year for a short visit. She would quickly leave under the pretense of having to work part-time, not even staying for a meal.Spencer scolded her, calling it disgraceful for the Lowe family's eldest daughter to be out working part-time and showing her face in public.Penny responded with a sarcastic smile, reminding him that he had cut off her allowance and never reinstated it. How else was she supposed to survive without working?Spencer, filled with anger, had nothing more to say. It was clear to everyone that he wanted Penny to b

    That was why, with Scarlett hospitalized, Penny naturally couldn't sit idly by. Since she chose these people as her family, she was willing to pour in effort wholeheartedly.Scarlett had worked in the town without health insurance. Unfamiliar with the policies and having an unreliable son, she had only Cecilia, a young child, with her and hadn't considered buying national health insurance.Now, with the illness and hospitalization, all expenses had to be paid out of their pockets. But where would the money come from?The money she had earned previously was used for her medicine, living expenses with Cecilia, and other essentials. While tuition was covered by the state, living expenses were not.Moreover, Moses often came back to rummage through her belongings and take any money he found until he was finally arrested. It gave Scarlett some respite and allowed her to save a little.But this small amount of money was not enough to cover the medical expenses.Penny took out all the s

    Scarlett was resuscitated in the hospital and transferred to a general ward after a week in the ICU.As soon as she regained a bit of consciousness, she started clamoring to go home.Holding Cecilia's hand, her weak voice trembled as she said, "Cecilia, take me home. I'll be fine with some medicine and a few injections."Cecilia and Penny had already understood Scarlett's health condition thoroughly over these few days. Her constitution had weakened, and her years of illness caused both frustration and sadness.When she felt unwell, she would just buy some painkillers. And if she couldn't bear it, she would go to a nearby clinic for a couple of injections.The doctors at the small clinic advised her to go to the hospital for treatment. But Scarlett stubbornly insisted on getting injections there, saying she had no money to go to the hospital and no one to care for her there.Helpless, the doctors could only prescribe her some medication. But what could they prescribe other than s

    Penny didn't have much free time over the past three years.As she had envisioned, during the first year, she honed her acting skills amidst criticism while also working as a translator.Later on, she felt that acting didn't hold much appeal anymore. Moreover, realizing that there weren't any roles left for her, she gradually gave up and moved toward working behind the scenes.She had some work during this period.It seemed that a daring reality show, not caring about potential risks, decided to capitalize on her controversial popularity and invited her to participate in one of their programs.The reason Penny agreed to participate was because the show's first season had a good reputation, and the payment offered was reasonable.Continuously doing translations could be quite tiring. After discussing with Cecilia and weighing the pros and cons, she eventually signed up for this TV show.Unfortunately, she had underestimated the darker side of human nature.The show's production

    "Really?" Zane blurted out, staring incredulously at Sam, who nodded calmly. His unruly and carefree demeanor was restrained, and his composed attitude showed that he wasn't joking.Zane fell silent again, furrowing his brow as he intently observed Sam.It was as if he thought everything through in an instant, giving up without hesitation. He didn't even remind Zane of the request from years ago to take care of Penny. Instead, he said this would be the last time he would help out.Logically speaking, this should be a satisfactory outcome for Zane. After all, from any perspective, the Lowe family's scion would only be a burden to Sam.Looking again at Sam's attitude, it seemed he didn't want Penny to know he was the one quietly spending money to handle things behind the scenes.Since there was no plan to meet her, he didn't need to worry about anything after that. If that was the case, it would be better to just end it early.That way, if Sam saw Penny falling in love, getting mar

    All those old scoundrels from the Lowe family undoubtedly ranked the highest. Then there was Jessica, the entertainment industry's national goddess, who also played a significant role.Besides them, there were a few minor celebrities who didn't really make the cut.However, as Sam's partner and someone who watched him grow up, Zane privately hoped Sam could find a better girl.So, he advised, "There are plenty of socialites in Riverwood, and Amdale has no shortage of beautiful young ladies, either, and Rookfort isn't much different."You and the Lowe family's daughter haven't even officially met…""Who said I haven't met her?" Sam interrupted him without a second thought.He had even seen her twice. How could Zane say they hadn't even met yet?The first time, she gave him all the money she had. The second time, he spoke up to help her get that role.After these interactions, they could be considered acquaintances.Zane choked up and couldn't find the words to refute.He was s

    Because Penny declined his offer, Zane didn't insist. After a bit of small talk, he ended the call.He politely mentioned that if she needed any help, she could call this number again. If he could assist in any way, he certainly would.However, Zanw knew very well that, given Penny's temperament, she would rather give up what she had than actively seek help from a stranger.Yes, to Penny, Zane was just a stranger. He was a person she had met once but didn't really know.This time, Penny didn't respond as coldly as she did when she was 18. Instead, she exchanged a couple of polite pleasantries, mentioned that she would reach out if needed, and then hung up the phone.After that, she let out a long sigh of relief and lay on the lounge chair on the balcony, gazing at the view outside the window.There were fluffy white clouds in the azure sky and the greenery visible in the neighborhood. Sparrows were chirping persistently as they darted through the forest, and the cicadas loudly bu

    Although the other person said only one word, Penny could still tell he didn't have any ill intentions.Because of that faint sense of familiarity, Penny didn't hang up the phone immediately. "Hello? May I ask what this is about?"The unfamiliar and distant tone probably made the man on the other end of the phone pause for a moment. It was only after a brief silence that he responded."Young lady, don't you remember me? It's Zane Moran."His voice carried a laugh, with a hint of teasing.Only then did Penny remember who he was, but she wasn't happy at all.Zane meant no harm when that incident happened back then. But despite that, over the years that had passed, he became one of the people and things Penny would rather not recall.Whether it was the exam she missed, the incident where Spencer took her to the hotel against her will, or Zane, who gave her 30 dollars for a taxi ride.She just wanted to hide all of them deep in her memories.The recent events had particularly made

    "I'm fine. You all don't have to look so worried. You're making it seem as if something bad is going to happen to me."Penny looked at the two people at the door who were showing a range of expressions, feeling speechless.Cecilia was provoked by her words, and her eyes turned red."We're worried about you. You have no idea what you look like right now. You're almost like one of those disheartened protagonists in novels who hated the world."Penny clicked her tongue twice and said, "Aren't you exaggerating?"She didn't believe it. She was just worried about money. It wasn't like she had become disillusioned with life.Besides, she didn't dislike this world at all. On the contrary, she really liked it.Whenever Penny came across posts online suggesting that all humans should just die, she always felt like rolling her eyes. If they wanted to die, they shouldn't drag others with them.When searching for her own role in movies, TV dramas, and novels, Penny particularly preferred re

    Penny's way of clarifying things was to simply tell the truth.Sometimes, trying to cover things up would just lead to needing 100 more lies to continue the cover-up. That would often end up making things worse and more ridiculous.It was better to tell the truth about the situation.To answer the question of why she lashed out at the Lowe family, she briefly explained her experiences over the years.Why didn't she attend the final paper of the college entrance examinations? She personally reopened that old wound.As for that man in the hotel, Penny didn't have much of an impression of him anymore. She only remembered not taking his business card and accepting 30 dollars from him.Why did she show up at that man's hotel room? She wrote it down truthfully—it was her father who personally took her and left her at the hotel, wanting to trade her like a commodity.Every single word was carefully considered and written by Penny.She didn't share much of these things with Cecilia.

    Once the official statements were released, Penny's career being ruined became a certainty.The only surprising thing was probably that after the film crew issued their statement, the largest investor also requested to withdraw.The film crew was completely shocked, but there was nothing they could do. The scion was willing to lose money just to withdraw his investment, so what could they do?The amount of money in the compensation was nothing compared to the amount that the scion planned to invest. The production team would incur a significant loss.With one less investor, the project's status was essentially downgraded. They had much less room to manipulate their gains now, too.One would understand why the scion was doing this if they used their brain a little.However, the protests from the audience couldn't be ignored, and compared to the investors, it was clearly more important to keep the show going.After all, they could always attract more sponsors, even if the amount o

    In addition to the widespread backlash caused by the phone recording, Penny's academic credentials were also scrutinized and exposed.Before the college entrance exam, she had always been the top student in her school and had never ranked anything else.However, in the college entrance exam, she barely passed the minimum mark for key institutions, far below her usual performance.Some people speculated that she had been cheating during regular exams and that her actual abilities were much worse.However, the exam results could be checked online, and the fact that Penny scored zero on the last exam was surprising.It was even more shocking that she was admitted to a top-tier university despite missing an exam. It was truly exceptional.But few people paid attention to this information.After all, the achievements attained through hard work couldn't be faked. Even if the results weren't as expected, it was undeniable that she was stronger than many others.Regarding this topic, t
