Sam picked up his phone and swiped a glance at it lazily. Suddenly, he bounced up from the couch and sat upright."I'm not even kidding. If no one had reminded me, I would've completely forgotten about this!"Without further delay, Sam immediately forwarded the post to XR Entertainment's public relations and marketing department. He also contacted Penny.Due to the intense argument he'd had with Internet users, he completely forgot that they still had an ace up their sleeves.Initially, they thought that the footage of the Brown family dinner could be used the next day. However, nobody thought that Jessica would be admitted to the hospital the same night that she was sent to the detention facility. It was said that her wound was quite deep.The Browns didn't cause any more trouble afterward. After receiving the 8 million, they sent over a few worthless items. They claimed that it was given to Rebecca by Mr. Winston Senior a long time ago.They almost thought that the Browns would
After sending out the post, Rebecca did not bother any further.She and Sam kept all their electronic devices. Then, they prepared and had dinner as usual.In the meantime, she also video-called her parents, the Johnsons, who were far away in Rookfort. While holding on to Sam's arms and strolling beneath the plane trees in the villa, she also chatted with the Johnsons.Everyone was aware of the situation online. However, everyone had knowingly not mentioned anything about it.Everything seemed normal. The Johnsons only briefly asked them about their well-being in Riverwood and when Rebecca would be returning back to Rookfort."It won't be long, Mom. I think I'll be meeting with Dr. Manson very soon. I'll return to Rookfort as soon as I finish my discussion with him."Having stayed in Riverwood for so long, Rebecca had missed them dearly.Mrs. Johnson had missed her even more. Her long-lost beloved daughter had finally made her way back into the family records. Now that she was b
Rebecca turned around. She looked up and caught sight of Ethan's defined side profile.She nodded. There was a sense of worry evident in her eyes. She subconsciously turned her gaze toward the direction where Sam had disappeared. "Do you know why?"Ethan followed Rebecca's gaze. A faint smile appeared on his soft face."Speaking of which, this matter does have something to do with you."He spoke slowly, carefully explaining past matters of the Johnson family to Rebecca.During this process, they did not only touch on Sam's past but also touched on matters that happened between the brothers. He even mentioned how their aunt had dragged their uncle to be a part of the Johnson family. Therefore, by the time their conversation ended, it was already late at night. Rebecca was also feeling extremely tired. After washing up, she fell asleep right away. When she woke up the next day, she still felt a bit groggy. She sat in her room for a bit before fully coming back to her senses
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have let out a sigh of relief.Her tone also seemed to have softened further. "I heard from Mike that with your divorce with Dan, Dan has given you quite a bit of assets. Even the Springford Estate that Mr. Winston Senior bought for you two was also transferred to your name, right?"The smile on Rebecca's face grew. She didn't deny it and simply hummed softly. Mrs. Winston continued, "Look, Becca, when Mr. Winston Senior was still around, he always treated you well. That brat may have wronged you in marriage, but he has never treated you poorly in terms of other matters, you see …""Mrs. Winston, why don't you tell me what you want me to do."Rebecca didn't want to listen to her wheedling. She directly cut her off. "Okay, then I'll be honest with you. Don't blame me for being brutal. After all, I am still a member of the Winston family. I have to put the family first."Rachel's tone suddenly turned serious. She directly stated
After Rachel ended the call, she rubbed her temples. "That brat always causes so much trouble for me!""Please calm down, Mrs. Winston."Cheryl served her some sliced fruit. She advised, "Children are all here to be leeches. Anyway, this isn't Mr. Daniel's fault.""The fact that it's not his fault makes me more angry."He had refused a perfect wife that was arranged for him. Instead, he fell in love with a woman like Jessica!From the looks of that woman, she had nothing good up her sleeves. Mr. Winston Senior had made it clear back then that if he married her, he was certain that it would cause trouble. Then, look at what happened. She wasn't even married into the family and had already caused the Winston Group's market value to evaporate tremendously. She was a troublemaker!Rachel looked down and took a glance at her phone. Within her call logs, besides calling Rebecca, there were numerous calls made to Daniel. Unfortunately, he did not pick up.After thinking for a
On the tablet, Daniel’s post was on display."The one I wanted to marry was always Jessica."The page was a PowerPoint slide prepared by the public relations team. Therefore, they were unable to view the comments. However, without the need for thought, it was evident what kind of controversy this statement would have caused.With a stern expression on his face, he switched to another application and took a glance. As expected, the remarks made towards Rebecca were extremely harsh. When he stumbled upon the comment regarding the "unloved home-wrecker", he nearly smashed the tablet in anger.His wife, who he had signed the marriage certificate with, and organized a wedding with, was now a home-wrecker. What a joke!"I told the bunch of you to deal with the issue of public opinion, not to spread more rumors. I spend so much money to employ all of you, and you can't even handle a public relations crisis?"The tablet made a muffled sound as it hit the table. It felt like a painful j
"What's his problem now?" Rebecca asked. The mention of Daniel's name unsettled her. Still, anyone could tell Daniel had gotten into trouble because the news came this late. That was why she merrily inquired about it. After all, she would enjoy her ex-husband’s misfortunes. As she leaned in, Penny raised her phone higher. She frowned and said, "I'd like to know what his problem is too."On her phone was Daniel's social media page. The post of him defending Jessica had vanished. In its place was the latest post he made. What was even more surprising was that he was not siding with Jessica in this post. Instead, it clarified that the elders in his and Rebecca's families wanted the two to get married. Although that was the reason, Daniel insisted on following through with it. He was also the one who asked for a divorce. With that explanation, he cleared any misunderstandings about him having a mistress. Finally, Daniel apologized to Rebecca and asked netizens not to discuss their priva
Mike became perplexed. He didn't expect Daniel to ask about Rebecca all of a sudden. They were still handling the PR crisis moments ago. Yet, he dared not poke his nose where it didn't belong, so he answered the question. "I've transferred everything to Ms. Rebecca. At first, she was unwilling to accept GN Corp's shares, but I convinced her to sign the document."Daniel hummed in acknowledgment and didn't seem unhappy. "You did the right thing by convincing her to sign it. After all, she's alone. She may have reunited with the Johnsons, but there's no telling if they'll treat her like an outsider. She spent years away and grew up outside of their family."He figured Rebecca could live a stable life with the shares he gave her. That way, it wouldn't matter whether her loved ones sincerely cared for her or not."Is there anything else? If not, you can resume your tasks." Daniel looked at Mike, but Mike had forgotten what he had come in to report.Mike fell into a brief daze. He almos
