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
"By the way, make sure you eat well at Sam's place. Don't sleep in until this hour and skip breakfast every time."Just before ending the call, Ethan couldn't help but offer a few more words of advice."Sam might not be the most attentive person. He might not take great care of you, but you shouldn't be reckless either just because you're young. Understand?""Okay, I got it, Ethan. You should get back to work."Rebecca responded half-heartedly, then promptly ended the call.Fortunately, Sam wasn't around to hear him. If he had, they would have likely argued for the entire morning, and he wouldn't have been able to catch up on his work.Rebecca hung up. She took a bite of her bread and was about to sip her coffee when a news notification popped up on her phone."Official Report: Prominent Actress Jessica Brown Detained for Assaulted"Rebecca was shocked. She couldn't bother drinking her coffee anymore. She immediately tapped on the notification to read more.The news was releas
It seemed like they were determined to drag down both Rebecca and Ethan.It was as if they didn't want to let Rebecca and Ethan have a good time if Jessica wouldn't be having one.Rebecca briefly scrolled through these comments. She then singled out several accounts and sent them to Caleb.She wrote. "Caleb, please check the backgrounds of these accounts when you have time. Thanks a lot!"Caleb quickly responded with an 'ok' gesture.She had done everything she could. Now, she could only leave the rest to the company's legal department and other teams.Regardless of the circumstances, Rebecca's career in the entertainment industry was completely over after the police report was released. She wouldn't be able to use Daniel's influence to do anything in the industry in the future.Rebecca's mood lit up when she thought of this. She was about to browse her phone when she received a call from Markus. He asked her to cook for Liam.Compared to Jessica's issues, Zelda's health
Rebecca was back at Four Seasons.Unwilling to give up, Rebecca prepared a lemon chicken and some stir-fried vegetables for Liam. This time, the dishes seemed rushed and lacked the same sincerity as before.But since Liam decided to visit again, it meant her culinary skills were still commendable.Also, Liam did not agree or refuse to come and treat her mother. It meant she still had a chance."Uncle Liam, please try it."Rebecca placed the two dishes before Liam. When she uncovered the lemon chicken, a delightful aroma filled the room, along with the rising steam. The vegetables also looked so appealing that they made one's mouth water just by looking at them.Liam was a foodie. He was eager to try the lemon chicken as soon as it was served. Yet, out of respect for Rebecca, he tried to maintain a dignified demeanor. He finally took up his fork after Rebecca greeted him and picked up a piece before putting it in his mouth."How does it taste?"Seeing the food enter Liam's mou
