Rebecca did not speak. She only tightened her grip even more. Her grip was so strong that it was like she wanted to drag Daniel to lie down beside her.

The sounds of the thunder became softer, but the pounding of the rain grew louder.

Daniel looked at Rebecca, who was lying beside him. He pursed his lips. He couldn't bear to look at her scars and wanted to cover them by adjusting her shirt.

His warm fingers had hardly touched her shoulder when she opened her eyes suddenly. She sat up immediately.

"What are you doing?" She stared at him.

Daniel's hand was still paused in mid-air. He met her eyes. He didn't know what to do with his hand. He drew his hand back after a moment.

He looked away and said, "Your shirt's a mess. You should adjust it."

Rebecca sat up too abruptly. Her white shirt fell off her shoulders, exposing her pale skin.

Daniel dared not to look at it in the dark.

Rebecca looked puzzled. She lowered her head after a while and frowned. She seemed not to understand

    Daniel fell on the ground directly. Fortunately, he wasn't really hurt because of the bedding he had spread on the floor.Yet, he had a shock. He looked very unpleasant as he didn't have a good night's sleep.Rebecca didn't know about it. She accused, "Daniel, how could you do this? You could have just told me earlier if you were not used to the floor! Why did you sneak into my bed at midnight?"Daniel glanced at her and sneered. "I sneaked into your bed? Rebecca, did you black out again?"Daniel was reluctant to continue the conversation with her as he needed to go to the bathroom.Rebecca immediately tried to figure out what had happened.She didn't drink last night, meaning she didn't have a blackout. She remembered some memories from last night, but it was so vague, just like a dream. Yet, she remembered that she told him pitifully that she was afraid and asked him to sleep beside her.Besides, if she wasn't mistaken, she remembered that it was her who was hugging Daniel whe

    Rebecca stood frozen in front of the washroom. Her entrance was sudden. Daniel, who was collecting the clothes, was stunned.The pair of thin pajamas seemed surprised at Rebecca's entrance and flipped open to show its pattern clearly.Rebecca almost forgot to breathe. She was wishing for death when she saw them.Daniel looked where her gaze had landed and clearly saw what he was holding. He raised his eyebrows for a bit. Then he figured out why she awkwardly asked for another pair of pajamas last night.He was speechless at his mother's actions. He didn't say a thing and put them into the laundry basket calmly."Let's go."Rebecca stopped looking embarrassed and followed him. Both of them said nothing. The atmosphere wasn't good.Rachel and Cheryl had woken up early and were already downstairs. Breakfast was placed nearly on the table. A couple of dishes were prepared. They looked like they had estimated precisely when they would go downstairs as the breakfast was still steaming

    Rebecca wasn't afraid of Daniel, let alone his glare. She was confused, though.He'd been rather patient with her last night. Why was he suddenly looking at her like she was his archnemesis? It wasn't as if the things she'd said to Rachel were offensive to him.Rebecca only pondered this for a short time, though. She and Daniel were going to go their separate ways soon. There was no need for her to analyze him.So what if he hated her? As she'd said, not everyone had to like her. It was perfectly fine for Daniel to hate her.She started having breakfast.Daniel didn't look at her after leaving the dining table. He wore his suit jacket and bent down to pick up his phone. He turned it on.Cheryl walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of oats. When she saw Daniel's untouched food, she said, "Are you going to work already, Mr. Daniel? Won't you have some more food? Anyway, the dressing for your wound needs to be changed."Daniel didn't turn around, but his actions faltered. Then, he

    "Huh?" Mike was taken aback. For a second, he didn't know what to say.He couldn't tell Daniel about how happy Rebecca had looked, could he? They were getting divorced, not married. But it would be too fake if he were to say Rebecca had been devastated.After some thought, he said, "She didn't have much of a reaction. She just said she'd see you at 4:00 pm."Daniel snorted. "Not much of a reaction? Burst into laughter, more like." He sounded like he was gritting his teeth.Mike fell silent for a second. Then, he said, "I wouldn't go that far." If he remembered correctly, Rebecca had only smiled. She did look happy, but it wasn't to the extent of laughing.It was Daniel's turn to fall silent. After several seconds, he hung up.Mike was rendered speechless.Daniel stood before a window at the hospital. He looked down at his phone. He gripped it so tightly that it was almost as if he wanted to shatter it.Wouldn't go that far, huh?"Dan …" Jessica's voice rang out feebly.Daniel

    A chill ran down Jessica's spine. It was a simple sentence, but it was enough to make her feel like she was suffocating again.She took a deep breath. She angrily stabbed at the phone, maybe because she felt the masked man couldn't do anything to her over the phone. "Don't worry. I'll invite you to the wedding!"The masked man didn't reply. Jessica waited a while, thinking he'd say something like he was looking forward to it. But there was nothing.She was so angry she wanted to throw her phone away. She'd already raised her hand when she caught herself and lowered it.After a while, she sent a message to another person who didn't have a profile picture."Dan, you should reconsider. It'd be unfair to you if you're doing this out of pity for my illness. I can tell you like Rebecca. Think it over, okay?"Daniel was about to start the car when he received this message. He faltered. Then, he replied, "I don't like Rebecca. Don't overthink this." He didn't say anything else.He didn'

    Daniel held himself back. He shut his eyes. When he opened them again, his gaze was cold.He glanced at Rebecca, who was signing the form seriously. He was about to say she was becoming more and more like Sam, but he swallowed the words.What did it matter to him who she was like?Daniel pressed down on his pen so hard that the tip almost tore the paper. Ultimately, though, the form was filled out per the procedures.The divorce agreement had been signed, so there were no arguments over the assets. Things moved quickly.Soon enough, they received their divorce certificates. Everything seemed to end when they accepted the certificates.Rebecca sighed in relief when she accepted hers. Finally, everything was over …She tucked it into her bag, then smiled. She was about to bid farewell to Daniel when he'd already gotten up and left. He hadn't even spared her a glance.Maybe it was because he'd long since had enough of her. Now that he was free, he couldn't bear to spend another se

    Daniel crossed one leg over the other. He tapped his fingers on his knee.Then, he looked up. "Mike, who do you think is your boss? Me or Jessica?"Mike was far from a fool. He immediately understood what Daniel meant. "I'm sorry, Mr. Winston. I know what to do now."He hadn't worked for Daniel long but did have a grasp on his personality. Daniel's tone hadn't been severe, but anyone who'd spent time with him would know he was mad.It was scarier than him allowing the anger to show. Mike didn't dare say anything else. He silently started the car.To his surprise, Daniel said, "I never agreed to turn the Crystal Bay place into our marital home. It's fine for you to be frank with Jessica if she asks."Anyway, even if I don't give that place to Rebecca, Jessica won't be moving in there."Mike subconsciously wanted to ask why, but he held himself back when he saw the look on Daniel's face. He'd be better off keeping his mouth shut.He didn't need to ask, though. Daniel explained wi

    "Since you've put it that way, I'll accept them. That way, you can answer to Daniel. But …"Rebecca stopped spinning the pen. She smiled and continued, "Since the shares are now mine, I can do whatever I want with them. I hope he won't interfere."Mike nodded. "Of course." He pushed the agreement back to Rebecca.She signed it without argument. When she was done, she said politely, "Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Hester. Why don't you stay for a meal?"Mike turned her down. He packed his things and said, "Thank you, but I can't. Mr. Winston has other things for me to do, so I can't linger. Anyway, it's not mealtime. It wouldn't be good to hang around."Four Seasons had delicious food, but Mike had gotten to where he was based on hard work. He had to maintain his professionalism and complete all his tasks.Rebecca stood up with him. She checked the time. Indeed, it wasn't the time for food. She didn't persuade him to stay.She smiled.

    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
