"Who cares who did it? They won't be able to escape anyway. If anything, we should hurry back to treat your injuries. I can't believe you're still causing trouble with Mr. Feud watching over you!" Sam pulled her along as he scolded her.It was then Rebecca realized that they must have had other arrangements. And they were keeping her in the dark. Her expression shifted. She thought about the time when she believed it was Ethan filming the scene. She was even more terrified back then compared to when she was held at knifepoint. Also, it wasn't like she went around looking for trouble. She never expected someone to grab her from behind and hold her hostage. She wasn't the one to blame. She broke free from Sam's playful restraint and clicked her tongue. "You're one to talk. Why didn't you guys tell me? Especially during the filming. I really thought it was Ethan. Do you know how scared I was?""You brat! So, you're not worried about me?" Sam huffed. Rebecca was with him the longe
The man on the ground writhed in pain and cried out in agony. His arm was pinned to the ground and he could only endure the pain forcibly.Sam recalled the red mark on Rebecca's neck, and a surge of anger filled him. He felt that one kick wasn't nearly enough.He crouched down and pressed a knife against the man's face, but his tone remained nonchalant. "Tell me who sent you. And what's the story behind your demand for my sister to film a clarification video?"The chilling blade grazed the man's face, as Sam continued his threats. "You'd better think carefully before you speak. If I find out you're lying, the knife might accidentally slip and hurt you."To prove his point, he dug the knife deeper and drew a streak of blood from the man's cheek. It left a noticeable mark.Sam couldn't protect Rebecca before, but he was determined not to let her leave with more scars while he was there.The man, however, was stubborn and held his ground."Sam, why are you wasting your breath on hi
Rebecca woke up the next day only to find out what had happened the previous night. Of course, many details were omitted in the explanation. She only knew that the police had taken away two individuals overnight.One was taken into custody for carrying a knife and committing an assault, while the other was accused of attempted murder. It was said that the latter was involved in other criminal activities. He had been abandoned by his wife and children, and even his own parents refused to acknowledge him.Rebecca wasn't interested in the other crimes this person had committed. She only wanted to know why he had attacked Ethan and how they had managed to apprehend him.So, during a break when the crew was discussing the gossip, she playfully pestered Sam for details about what had happened."It's quite simple, really. Ethan had a personalized security device, so we tampered with it a bit. We applied some stuff that Nate sent that causes skin irritation. That foolish thief heard that h
Jessica didn't waste any time after setting aside the online matters. She decided to call Daniel to discuss the wedding dress and the ring.Coincidentally, Daniel had just finished a meeting when one of the company's top executives came to him about this matter.They chose their words carefully. Although the Winston Group was built from the ground up by George, it didn't belong to him alone. The company had shareholders and employees. While getting married was a private matter, it shouldn't consistently involve the company.Daniel didn't realize what they were implying. He was wondering how Rebecca could harm the company's reputation by working all day at Four Seasons.Just as he was about to inquire further, Jessica called him. That was when he realized that he had already divorced Rebecca, and his wedding with Jessica had been set. So, the reminder wasn't about Rebecca.The executive also caught a glimpse of the caller ID on Daniel's phone and gave him a knowing smile before lea
Ryan cocked a brow at Daniel and glanced at him.He quickly redrew his gaze. "Rebecca is not in Four Seasons, so you won't find her if you go there."He was quick to expose Daniel's little scheme.He turned over on the couch and muttered, "You're about to marry Jessica. Why are you still looking for your ex-wife? It doesn't sound right."Ryan had let the matter go. Since he couldn't stop his friend from sinking into the shit hole, he didn't plan to continue meddling in it.If he continued with this, it would just make him look like some petty brat. Besides, even the Winston family had loosened their stance. What could an outsider like him possibly do?But Daniel had made his choice. So, why was he still trying to sneak a look at Rebecca?Although Daniel was his friend, Rebecca was too. Daniel wasn't annoyed by Ryan's words. He calmly explained, "I saw from Ethan's post that she was injured because of Jessica. So, I thought of going over to apologize to her. I don't have any ot
Soon, Rebecca quickly learned the news from Ryan.Not only him but others also sent her videos of the commotion at Daniel's wedding. Even Sam sent his congratulations, celebrating her ex-husband getting cheated on—multiple times at that.During the wedding, they played a video showcasing the love story of the newlyweds. However, halfway through, the video had cut to the bride's countless sex tapes. It was in HD as well.Aside from Jessica, the "actors" in the sex tapes were constantly changing. There were even videos of orgies. All in all, Jessica was clearly a woman who knew how to have fun.What was even more interesting was that after the host hastily turned off the big screen, every guest attending the wedding received an anonymous email containing the remaining video. Not only that, but the email also included a hospital medical record.To no one's surprise, Jessica had AIDS. She had been receiving treatment for a year now, with relapses in between. Her most recent vi
Rebecca turned around once she heard that melodious voice. She first noticed a pretty woman elegantly leaning against the fence. The woman donned a vintage dress and seemed like someone rich. A set of brows that resembled Rebecca's sat on the woman's face. They framed her lively features well. All at once, an indescribable emotion suffocated Rebecca. It made her panic. It wasn't her first time seeing the woman. The entire Johnson family had met Rebecca after her DNA test abroad. Yet, today was different because one could say it was her first time officially returning home.Rebecca gazed at her mother, who stood nearby. Her eyes couldn't help reddening as she resisted the urge to cry. A smile curved on her face as she said, "Mom, it's me. I've come home with my brothers."The gorgeous woman named Zelda Stigg teared up at once. She missed Rebecca dearly the 20 years they were apart. Not only that, but she had even fallen ill from her constant longing. Now that she had seen her daug
When Ryan rushed to Riverwood Hospital, he saw a still unconscious Rachel in her ward. The room was silent, so he dared not make a sound. He stepped lightly into the room and looked at Daniel, who stood near the window.Daniel had already taken off the suit he wore to the wedding and tossed it onto the couch by then. Only a white dress shirt remained on his body. One couldn't help finding Daniel lonesome upon seeing the back of his figure.Ryan felt it was inappropriate to say anything since Rachel was on the bed. So, he crept toward Daniel's side and typed a message on his phone. It read, "Are you okay?"Daniel turned to face him with little to no emotion. "Are you here to see what kind of a joke I've become?"He couldn't care less about disrupting his unconscious mother's rest. After all, they had sent her to the hospital not long ago, and the doctors had given her some sedatives through her IV drip. Because of that, he wasn't afraid of waking her.With a sigh, Ryan answered in
