Judging from Daniel's actions and demeanor, it seemed as though he caught Rebecca cheating on him.Rebecca laughed. "My relationship with Mr. Johnson doesn't concern you, Daniel Winston, since we’re divorced. Why do you care who I'm seeing?"Judging from what happened so far, Rebecca was sure that Daniel had misunderstood the situation, just like the first time he met Sam. However, things were different now. They weren't legally divorced the first time, but they were now. Besides, Jessica was his fiancee, so why did he still care about her? What a joke!Daniel replied matter-of-factly, "Grandpa left you to me. It doesn't matter that we're divorced. I’m like a brother to you. We’ve always been close. Now, what's wrong with an older brother caring about his younger sister?"Rebecca was dumbfounded by his logic. How could he have the cheek to say that he was like a brother to his ex-wife? What a psycho this ex-husband of hers was! Besides, her real brother was standing right there in
Rebecca retorted without holding back. She had never thought there was anything dirty about the industry Sam worked in. Only certain people were disgusting, and they had nothing to do with everyone else. If Daniel thought the entertainment industry was so filthy, why had he sent Jessica in there then?Did he think that he had the ability to protect Jessica, that he was powerful enough that Jessica didn't need to be nice to others?But Daniel didn't seem to know that his fiancée had long before fallen victim to certain things. She had someone to rely on, and yet she still wanted everything she could get her hands on.When she thought of the pictures she'd seen, Rebecca felt very dirty. Even looking at Daniel felt disgusting to her now. However, Rebecca knew that not everyone was like Jessica. At least, such things didn’t happen in Sam's company, and Penny wasn't like Jessica, either.Penny had suffered a lot in the Lowe family as it was. Even so, she had never given up on her prin
Though he suffered Daniel's glare, Ryan didn't think he'd said anything wrong. It was true that Daniel had a few screws loose. Daniel took medication every day and occasionally went to a therapist. He even assessed his romantic problems using the half-baked knowledge he'd learned. Ryan didn’t know anyone else like him."Ah, right, your keys." Remembering what he was at Four Seasons for tonight, Ryan took out the car keys from his pocket and handed them to Rebecca. "Here. Thank you for this afternoon. I owe you one. The car's parked by the bakery at the entrance to Crystal Bay. I heard that you live there. You should be able to see it once you get back."Rebecca was a bit stunned as she accepted the keys. "Didn't I say I wasn't in a rush to get them back? Why did you hurry over here to bring them to me tonight?"At the mention of this, Ryan's expression became annoyed. He let out a breath and glanced over at Daniel. When he spoke, his voice was aggrieved. "Someone dumped me here afte
Daniel had heard the same statement before from Rebecca. Thus, Daniel felt that he had the right to say it again. Smoothly, he said, "I consider her my little sister. Is it a problem that I'm concerned about her love life?"Daniel's conviction stunned Ryan. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Did Daniel really think of Rebecca as his little sister? Could he really have brainwashed himself into actually believing that?What older brother had such antagonism for his sister's boyfriend? Even if he didn't like his future brother-in-law, he still had to be polite, right? But Daniel was treating Sam like he was his romantic rival!Ryan couldn't be bothered to confront Daniel about that. He'd already said enough. If Daniel didn’t wake up to the fact on his own, no amount of talking would convince him."It's fine if you want to poke your nose in her business, but is Bex okay with you doing that, considering that you're her ex-husband? Don't forget, Danny, she has older brothers. They
Jessica had only found out about this incident after her staff told her about it. After all, she was a public figure and had to take care of her image around other people. If not, celebrities could cause their own downfall, no matter how good the company's PR team was.Jessica's staff weren't the only ones who had spoken to her about this. Even Karen had come to the hospital to give her some advice.Men loved women who were kind and weak. Although it was enough for Jessica to just fake it in front of Daniel, it was also a good idea to keep the facade up in front of others, too. After all, what if the image didn't hold up one day? What if someone exposed her one day?Thinking of the Brown family's banquet that day and how Rebecca had disclosed to so many socialites that she had such scars, Karen gritted her teeth in hatred. Her tone became even more urgent as she advised Jessica.Jessica was annoyed to hear all that. "I know all this, Mom. I’ll be more careful in the future. But tha
"Why are your photos still up? Didn't Cal get rid of them?" Sam frowned at the picture of Rebecca and a strange woman. "And who's this? Why do you have a photo with her? We don't even have a photo of the two of us together!"Rebecca quietly put her phone away. She smiled sheepishly. "If you want to take a photo together, Sam, we can take one now."Sam wanted to smack Rebecca over the head, but he held back. "Tell me honestly. What's going on?"Rebecca could only tell Sam about how she had taken a photo with a nurse at the hospital today. Then, she also explained the news she had seen online.The nurse’s situation was quite pitiful too. First, she had been told off just because she had gone to change Jessica's bandages. She had felt aggrieved and complained about it on her own social media, but that evolved into an online incident because of Jessica's fans.It wasn't just because of the nurse's post either. The nurse had posted a photo of herself and Rebecca before this too, which
Rebecca and Caleb both acted very quickly. In no time, they got the nurse's account protected. At the same time, the posts that exposed her personal information had been deleted, preventing more of her data from being spread.Rebecca also contacted Carl Collins and told him to tell the nurse not to go online for a couple of days if she could avoid it. At the same time, Rebecca advised her to have someone accompany her at all times. No one could guarantee that a rabid fan wouldn't go to the hospital and harm her.Carl had been the one who called that nurse over that afternoon, so he probably had her contact details. Carl replied very quickly. Even the text he sent bore some resentment.It read, "Your reminder is coming too late. I saw that girl crying this afternoon when she checked her phone. The hospital also received some local packages. Guess what was in them? There was a dead rat and a dead cat. There were a bunch of death threats too. They scared the girl so much that she fai
In the dead of night, the tide of public opinion seemed to swing in Jessica's favor.Even in the wee hours, the competition continued.Inside the ward, Jessica breathed a sigh of relief as she witnessed the improving sentiment in the public discourse.She made a call and said coldly, "Do I really have to spell out every little detail for you? Did I hire you to be a mere freeloader? How dare you disturb my sleep with a late-night call? If you're not up for it anymore, pack your bags and leave tomorrow!"The person on the other end of the phone kept apologizing.Jessica couldn't help but scoff. "I told you all to release a statement and set the record straight early on, but you insisted on taking your time. Now, it's blown up in our faces. You're all incompetent!"She was already in a bad mood from being awakened in the middle of the night. Although the situation was now under control, she couldn't resist delivering another round of scolding. Finally, her mood lifted.As she liste
