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

    Daniel froze when he heard that. Then, he looked at Ryan in confusion.Goosebumps spread all over Ryan's skin. "Why are you looking at me like that? If you have something to say, spit it out."A light chuckle came from Daniel. He decided to set aside his tasks for now. His warm voice rang out. "You've got a reputation for being nice to all women, regardless of their looks. What's with the sudden insult toward Jessica today? Have you gone through some kind of epiphany?"Ryan couldn't help but chuckle, too. "Yes, I'm kind to women of all appearances. But that doesn't mean I'll still be nice if they're mean to others."That was his indirect way of saying Jessica wasn't a nice woman.Daniel twirled his pen between his fingers but didn't refute his claims. If this had happened in the past, he would've already defended Jessica. However, various truths had surfaced before him. Besides, he wasn't an idiot who couldn't differentiate between right and wrong.Ryan knew from Daniel's reactio

    Daniel gazed down at the phone on his desk. "Hey, what do you think would've happened if she was with me during those three years?""What?" Ryan hadn't caught what he said and only heard the mention of "three years." He crossed one leg over the other and shot a confused frown at Daniel. "You must be having another ill episode."Daniel ignored that comment as he tidied the documents on his desk, picked up his phone, and stood. "Should we go for lunch?"His tone was calm, and he didn't look like he was joking."Now?" asked Ryan, who glanced at the time. He didn't know why Daniel had brought up lunch when it was still breakfast time.Daniel had picked up his car keys. "The Four Seasons restaurant is far from the company. It'll take almost an hour to drive there, so we'll reach around lunchtime. Forget I offered if you're not up to it."With that, he strolled to the door.Ryan froze. When he snapped out of his daze, he realized that Daniel had already stepped out the door. So, he ra

    "Alright! It's done. Ms. B, how's your side going?"Markus was making a simple pasta.He added some meatballs to add flavor to it.It would be a great addition to an otherwise usual meal.Despite the big portion, they would be able to finish it in no time. Thanks to Rebecca, the kitchen staff had been gaining weight lately. They were always running out of ingredients for staff meals.By the time he finished his part and plated it nicely, Rebecca was almost done with her dish. "I'm done. Let's bring them to him."She made a local dish from Liam's hometown—lemon chicken. Although he had settled down in Riverwood, he had worked in his hometown at the beginning of his career.Still, he could never get enough of the local cuisine.Even after he moved to Riverwood, he frequented Four Seasons to enjoy some local delicacies with Markus.Markus had suggested she make lemon chicken. That way, Rebecca might be able to move Liam by conjuring his memories of his hometown.Taking Liam'

    As soon as Markus said that, Rebecca could feel the mood change instantly.She wanted to say that he didn't have to take it that far. After all, it had been a while since Liam retired.It was alright if he didn't want to treat Zelda. A threat was overkill since it was nothing but a meal.Her gaze alternated between the two old men. In the end, she swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue.She stood there quietly, deciding to have faith in Markus.A light snort from Liam broke the silence. He moved Markus' fork away and quickly aimed for a chicken piece.When he shoved it into his mouth, Markus and Rebecca stared at him. They didn't want to miss any nuances in his expression.To their dismay, his expression didn't change after he swallowed the meat. Instead, he set the fork down to cleanse his mouth with tea. He shook his head and commented, "This lemon chicken doesn't taste legit."Rebecca accepted that reaction. Her heart slowly regained its pace as her body relaxed.

    Daniel was fast. Noticing that Rebecca was going to fall into the fountain, he hurriedly pulled her into his arms.Before she could regain her balance, he asked in concern, "Are you alright? How could you fall without tripping? Are you that careless, Rebecca?"He chided her as she steadied herself.When anger was rushing through her blood, she couldn't care less about the stinging pain in her ankle."You're the one to talk. Who scared me by showing up behind me? "If you're mad, please meet a doctor at the hospital alongside your fiancé. Don't take it out on me." She shoved him away, wanting to leave.However, she had underestimated the severity of her injury.She felt pain the moment she raised her leg. As a result, she could not regain her footing and fell again.Daniel managed to catch her. Ignoring her hurtful remarks, he held her still by the waist and examined her ankle.He didn't know how she injured herself so badly that her white sock was now tinged red. The color was

    It was Markus and Liam coming out of the private lounge. They looked at Rebecca and Daniel.At that moment, she simply wanted to bury herself in a hole.She wondered if they had witnessed how Daniel had jostled her just now.Regardless of that, she still wanted to disappear.Liam broke the silence first. "Mr. Daniel, you …" Unlike Markus, who was astonished to the core, Liam simply didn't expect to see Rebecca and Daniel together.Markus returned to his senses and asked Rebecca, "Rebecca, what are you …"Rebecca wished that someone could bury her alive at that moment. She shifted her gaze away silently while pinching Daniel.Feeling the slight sting, he looked down at her and smiled lightly."Uncle Liam," he greeted Liam before explaining, "This is my wife."She accidentally hurt herself. There’s a cut on her ankle, so I'm taking her to the hospital for a tetanus shot. "I wanted to carry her, but she was shy, hence the noise. I hope we weren't interrupting anything."Li

    Daniel took a step forward while fixing his eyes on Rebecca.Only then did she manage to fish the car keys out of his pocket. When the car keys chimed, he wrapped both arms around her waist.He was pinning her to the car door.This position was somehow intimate."Daniel, you …" Rebecca gulped. She watched him vigilantly while clutching the car keys.It took her a second before she said, "The car … It's unlocked …"Daniel stared into her eyes for a moment before raising his head.He took a step back expressionlessly. "Open the door."His tone was cold, as if someone had offended him.She frowned as she was sure she didn't do anything besides take the car keys out of his pocket.She had done that at his request. All she did was grumble. Thus, she assumed that he was being petty and that he couldn't stand her trivial complaints.Rebecca opened the car door so Daniel could place her in the passenger seat. Following that, he crouched next to her feet instead of walking away

    "Are you worried about me?" Daniel faltered. He turned to look at Rebecca.Rebecca frowned. "I—"Daniel's sneer cut her off. "Distance, Rebecca. You're the one who said that." He slammed the door shut.It made Rebecca jump. She gave him a look. He was so unreasonable! She got in the front passenger seat and shut her eyes.The journey to the hospital passed in silence. The car sped along smoothly, making Rebecca slowly doze off. Maybe it was because she'd been spending all her time in the kitchen lately.The sound of a phone ringing woke her up. When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by Daniel's jaw."Daniel?" Rebecca's voice was a little hoarse after her nap. She looked around to see they were walking along the hospital's stone-paved path. "Have we arrived? Why didn't you wake me up?"Daniel tightened his grip and said, "I can't believe you have the nerve to ask. You were sleeping like a log and refused to wake up, no matter how loudly I called.

    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
