Yearning for Her Return Chapter 19 Stunning
"What? Are they in the right for causing a scene like this?" Markus yelled. He angrily put on his chef hat. "So what if he's famous? I don't lack customers. They don't need to come here ever again, for all I care! If they don't like our food, make them leave! How annoying!" "Markus," Rebecca said gently.Markus sighed and turned to her. "Yes, Ms. B?""You really need to work on your temper. Shouldn't we start by asking why the customers are upset? Who else could they turn to with their complaints? You're the owner of this restaurant." "Yes, Ms. B." Markus nodded. She had a valid point. He turned to the young chef and asked kindly, "Tell me what happened." It was the first time the chef had seen the head chef so gentle. All because of this beautiful young woman next to him. The young chef took a moment to recover from his surprise before he told Markus everything. "Ms. Jessica Brown brought her friend over for dinner tonight. She was picky with all the food we served, s
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 20 Disdain
Even an idiot could pick up the disdain in Jessica's tone.Rebecca wasn't the only one she offended. Those in the crowd turned angry and upset at her words. But they shoved it down to avoid worsening the situation. But Rebecca seemed to be oblivious to her jab. "Oh, but who isn't going through a tough time in this day and age, Ms. Brown? The kids in school, the students in the lab … Aren't they having a hard time too? I'm sure a celebrity like you have your struggles, too, right? With an income of nearly two million dollars a day. Anyway …"Rebecca met her gaze, eyes steely. "I recall you weren't that diligent in your studies, either. So why project it onto me?" "Y-You!" Jessica paled.She was a famous celebrity, but her academics had always been a sore spot for her. Because of her grades, she could never qualify for local top universities. Her family had to use their money and influence to get her into some random university for a joint degree. The university was still pret
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 21 An Unpleasant Sight
Jessica lost it and screeched, "Are you kicking me out?""I wouldn't put it that way, Ms. Brown." Dennis stepped forward. He was calmer because of Rebecca's presence, but there was no hiding the arrogance in his tone. "Since you claim that my cooking tastes bad, the taste won't change even if you order a new dish. We're suggesting that you dine elsewhere to prevent food wastage; we're not kicking you out. We wouldn't dare drive a celebrity out of here."Jessica bellowed, "Get another chef to do it, then! There can't only be one chef in this restaurant!"Dennis shrugged. "Sorry, Ms. Brown. I taught the other chefs what they know, so their cooking will be identical to mine …"Jessica no longer had the gall to remain here. She bit her lip and glared at Rebecca before storming out. Florence, who was still recording, ran after her. "Jessi, wait for me!"Jessica immediately lost control and started swearing as soon as she stepped out of Four Seasons. "That bitch! How dare she act so hig
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 22 Seconds
"Happy birthday, Mrs. Winston." A crisp and clear voice drifted from the phone. For some reason, Daniel felt the rage which had been engulfing his senses the whole day dissipate on the spot upon hearing the birthday wishes.He raised his head to glance at his mother, who was still in the kitchen. Then, he said slowly, "I didn't expect you to remember Mom's birthday. Aren't you planning to drop by for a visit?"Silence ensued in the next second. In fact, all traces of noise disappeared from Rebecca's end of the line all of a sudden. Daniel pulled the phone away to glance at the screen, a frown gracing his features. It showed that he was still on the call."Rebecca?"The man was about to say something which would certainly ease the tension between him and Rebecca when he heard a series of beeps which echoed rhythmically. It appeared that Rebecca had hung up on him.The call had lasted for 29 seconds altogether.The frown on Daniel's face deepened as he stared at his screen, which g
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 23 Pursuing a Divorcée
For a moment, Rebecca was rendered speechless by the suggestion. Still shell-shocked, she started thinking about ways to turn Rachel down politely. "Mrs. Winston, I know you adore me, but—""Why are you still calling me that? I'm getting upset now!" Rachel cut into Rebecca's sentence before the latter could even finish speaking.Then, the older woman continued, "Becca, I know that you resent us for what we've done, but can you please not be so eager to turn me down? We can talk more about the mother-daughter matter once you and Daniel are done with the legal divorce procedures. The thing is, you two have yet to go through the process, so it's not outrageous of me to request you to keep calling me Mom, right?"Rachel's tone was very soft and held a coaxing quality. One would find it difficult to turn her request down.However, Rebecca rejected the idea of becoming Rachel's daughter from the bottom of her heart. She decided to remain silent for now.The young woman didn't have the h
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 24 A Dance Invitation From Ryan
Daniel happened to be driving when he received the picture. He glanced at his phone while waiting at a traffic light junction. Thanks to the playful message, he decided to pick up his phone. After that, the man found it difficult to rip his gaze away from the picture.An old sign which was clearly weathered over the years was covered by the halo of the neon lights. A charming woman clad in a custom-made dress stood in her heels with a black suit jacket draped over her shoulders. Her fair and slender arm was linked delicately with the arm of the man who was standing next to her. That picture looked more like a vintage movie poster depicting the city in the last century.Even though there was a significant distance between the photographer and the couple, Daniel could still recognize the woman even though the picture only showed the lower half of her beautiful face.Naturally, he could also recognize the man whom she was linking arms with. It was Sam Johnson, the president of XR Enter
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 25 Your Wife Is Amazing
Daniel started rushing toward the center of the dance floor without any hesitation.When Sam witnessed the scene unfolding before his eyes, he shot up from the booth as well before striding toward the pair with a stormy look on his face.However, both men halted in their tracks the next moment.A loud bang could be heard coming from the dance floor. The moment Ryan was about to touch the fabric hanging near Rebecca's hips, he felt himself getting launched over her shoulder before slamming onto the dance floor unceremoniously.Everyone was startled upon witnessing the scene, which resulted in a deafening silence. The saxophone music was the only ambiance in the nightclub, which formed a sharp yet amusing contrast with the scene that had unfolded.Rebecca didn't bother sparing a glance at the man who was lying on the floor. Instead, she shot a look at Daniel, who stood far away from her.Then, she tore her gaze away before finally glancing down at Ryan, who was lying by her feet. A
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 26 Not Having Rebecca’s Contact Number
"That's impossible!" Daniel denied that possibility on the spot. At the same time, he turned to look at the bustling dance floor instead of Ryan.He continued, "If I really liked her, why would I divorce her in the first place? As for the reason why I keep dragging the divorce out—"The man spun his glass around before leaning over to place it on the table. "Just think about it. News of our divorce has just spread, yet a bunch of suspicious people have already barged into her life. We're still childhood friends at the end of the day. I can't just sit by and let her walk into danger."Ryan was unhappy with that statement, as proven by his frown. He still had an unlit cigarette between his lips as he said, "I don't care if you slander other people, but why did I get dragged into this mess as well? Are we even best friends at this point?"Daniel shot Ryan a glance before huffing in response. "It's precisely due to how well I know you that I dragged your name through the mud as well."

Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1065 Final
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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1064 End It
"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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1063 No Need to Bother
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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1062 Enough
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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1061 Better
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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1060 Resilient
"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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1059 Helpless
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. Th
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1058 Excuses
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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1057 Despised
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
