Unfortunately, Mrs. Winston and Cheryl couldn't stoop so low. So, they could only suppress their anger. Mrs. Winston had indeed faced health issues in recent years, including low blood sugar and post-pregnancy complications. Therefore, this outburst of anger had caused her to faint. Before losing consciousness, Mrs. Winston remembered how both Jessica and her mother had fled in panic, as if they were afraid of being blamed. How could such a person be allowed to marry into the Winston family? If it weren't for the friendship between Mr. Brown Senior and Mr. Winston Senior, Mrs. Winston wouldn't even want to know such people. The fact that the Brown family could now do business together with the Winston family was also because they had mistakenly raised a good girl like Rebecca. If it weren't for this misunderstanding, the one engaged to be married would have been Jessica all along. Mrs. Winston was sure that even Mr. Winston Senior would rather spend money to resolve this fa
Coming out of the hospital room, Daniel's face was so dark that it was intimidating to look at. Daniel held in his fury. It was just like how Daniel felt every time he was punished as a child. Back then, he was always forced to do things he didn't want to do. However, if Daniel didn't submit, he would be locked in that pitch-black place overnight. It would leave him powerless and with nowhere to escape. The trauma of his past coupled with his anger from the conversation earlier threatened to overwhelm him. Therefore, Daniel quickened his pace. It was as if he were trying to escape from everything."Danny, why are you walking so fast? Are you really that hungry?" Ryan rushed out of the hospital room. He almost had to run to catch up to Daniel. Daniel paid no attention to his jokes and continued to wear a cold expression. The two of them stood in front of the elevator. This was when Ryan found an opportunity to talk to Daniel. "Danny, you're not someone who can't disting
Speaking of Rebecca … After being brought back to Crystal Bay by Sam, Rebecca’s mood had improved significantly. She had a good dinner and indulged in some dessert. She had already dismissed all the words Daniel had said and did not care about him anymore. Of course, Rebecca hadn't forgotten about Mrs. Winston, who was still unconscious at the hospital. During dinner, instead of making a phone call, Rebecca sent a message to Mrs. Winston. She inquired about Mrs. Winston’s condition and sent her a gift. Cheryl had informed Rebecca about Mrs. Winston's hospitalization. The fact that Rebecca didn't visit Mrs. Winston was rather impolite. Therefore, she said that she had some last-minute matters to attend to as an excuse. Mrs. Winston had naturally declined the gift. Luckily, she didn't seem to mind that Rebecca hadn't visited in person. They exchanged polite greetings through a call. However, Rebecca could sense that Mrs. Winston's attitude toward her had changed. For
Rebecca remained silent and gloomy with pursed lips.Needless to say, returning to Rookfort wasn't one of their options. Now that Ethan's manager had called her, she couldn't pretend as if nothing had happened. She needed to see her brother to make sure he was alright.Both Sam and Caleb had no objections to this.This time around, they had returned early without notifying their family—it was an impromptu decision from last night. It wouldn't be a big deal for them to divert and head to Silvermist Mountain now. They just had to explain the situation to Markus.Rebecca wasted no time and immediately dialed his number.She didn't touch on the topic of Ethan's injury. It wasn't good news she was bringing. Though accidental, news coverage of this incident was sure to affect not only the crew but also his career. The entertainment industry was a toxic workplace. More often than not, the lead actor would end up taking the blame for even the slightest issue.Regardless, even w
As the conversation continued, Sam's expression became more serious. He asked, "Do you remember what happened?" Ethan shook his head. "I can't recall the specifics of what happened, but I'm certain that there was nothing wrong with my protective gear before I went into the water. After being swept away by the current, someone pulled me underwater." Ethan injured his head and had water enter his lungs, which led to a mild concussion diagnosed by the doctor. Consequently, it was normal for his memory to be fuzzy. Therefore, when they were in the water, Ethan couldn't clearly remember who stood next to him or when the accident occurred. He could only vaguely recall someone pulling him, attempting to make him sink to the bottom of the water. Regarding the protective equipment, it had been purchased with substantial funding from both XR and the Johnson family. So, there was no possibility of a quality issue. Additionally, Ethan had personally inspected all the equipment before
"You are ..." Thomas was about to get up. However, when he saw Rebecca, he stopped in his tracks and instinctively looked toward the hospital bed where Ethan lay. Ethan was also surprised. Just as he was about to speak, Rebecca had already introduced herself to Thomas. "I’m Rebecca. Ethan is my brother." Rebecca held a computer in her hands. Without any further pleasantries, she opened the computer and played a video for Thomas. "I know my actions may seem audacious, so I'd like to apologize to you first, Mr. Feud. But when it comes to my brother's situation, I can't let the production crew move on quietly. "You mentioned that the police investigation concluded it was an accident, and I believe that. After all, most people wouldn't notice these details. However, since I've found it, I ask that you give my brother the justice he deserves!" The video being played was the scene of Ethan going underwater. The first time was the regular shooting with no alterations. "It do
"Rebecca, it's been a while since I heard from you. I hope you're doing well. By the way, Danny and I have set our wedding date. I was wondering if you have the time to attend our wedding?" When Rebecca saw this message, she couldn't help but cock an eyebrow and sneer.Setting aside the fact that Jessica had invited her, Daniel's ex-wife, to attend the wedding, the message didn't even specify a date or location. What did she think she was doing?Rebecca didn't bother to respond. She was about to block Jessica's number when another message came in."Rebecca, are you still angry at me? I know I was wrong about the past, and I won't make the same mistakes again. I apologize for the recent incidents as well. Please forgive me. I'm sure you know that Danny and I are deeply in love. "Now that Mrs. Winston has accepted me, I hope to receive your blessings too. Could you please attend our wedding?"The message was longer this time, and Jessica also sent a few photos.They showed Jessi
Night fell. The crew's base lit up. The actor clad in armor stood beneath the trees. The campfire's glow cast a warm light on his profile.On the other side, modern buildings stood brightly illuminated. People hurriedly moved about, each person diligently fulfilling their roles.Rebecca stood behind the camera, watching "Ethan". She suddenly quirked an eyebrow and mused, "Have a look at this, Mr. Feud. Doesn't this resemble the soldiers who protected this land hundreds of years ago for the peace of the future generation?"The camera was on standby, capturing the entire view. The campfire acted as a boundary line, dividing the past from the present.Thomas Feud fixed his gaze on the scene and was struck with amazement. He suddenly slapped his thigh. "I know how to revise this script now!"He was so enthusiastic that he nearly knocked over the cameras in front of him. Even Rebecca was surprised by his sudden outburst.Unfortunately, the director beside her was unaware of this and
