Before Mike could finish his sentence, he felt a pair of cold eyes piercing into him. The owner of those eyes asked in a warning tone, "What did you say?"

"Ms. Brown's …" Mike shuddered when he noticed he had used the wrong title. He cleared his throat and continued.

"The salesperson who handled Ms. Rebecca's properties relayed the news. He said that Springford Estate and a few properties under her name are being put on the market for sale. Also …"

Daniel's face darkened with every sentence Mike uttered, and Mike's voice became softer and softer until he could no longer carry on.

Mike actually didn't plan to inform Daniel, since these properties were transferred to Rebecca as per the divorce agreement.

It shouldn't be any of their concern what she does with the properties.

However, Mike couldn't hold it in when he saw Springford Estate being listed.

Mike's father used to work under George and he himself started working with the Winston family after he graduated from college.

    Everyone knew of Zelda's condition. Whenever someone mentioned Rebecca getting lost as a child, she'd get a bit hysterical and suicidal. It was as though she was a different person.Yvonne realized that she had misspoken and stole a glance at Zelda. To her relief, Zelda was all smiles and was looking at Rebecca with a kind glint in her eyes. "No worries. Becca couldn't be with us then, but she'll be with us from now onwards."When Zelda used to think of her daughter suffering outside the Johnson family, she'd find it almost unbearable, and this in turn made the whole family sad as well. She knew that she shouldn't wallow in the past anymore as Rebecca had returned. She promised to love and pamper her little daughter from now till forever.Everyone present was relieved to see Zelda so optimistic, especially her husband. Kenneth was so pleased that he grabbed her hand in his. Although Zelda was feeling embarrassed, she didn't remove her hand. She only said, "What are you

    Not unexpectedly, Sam's expression turned dark. However, Kenneth didn't notice this. He maintained a stern expression and continued, "That was because Becca was in Riverwood then, so you being there meant that she had someone taking care of her." He added, "Now that Becca is home, we should stay as a family in Rookfort. You shouldn't be alone in Riverwood. Move your company back here as soon as possible. It's not like I'm against you being in the entertainment industry …""I don't care if you're against it." Sam cut Kenneth off coldly before he could finish. "What did you say?" Kenneth didn't expect such a response from Sam and was stunned for a moment. "I said, I don't care if you're against anything I do." Sam's usual carefree tone was gone. He stared at Kenneth coldly, his hackles raised.Rebecca went to his side and reached out to swing his arm back and forth, hoping that Sam would control his emotions. But when she touched his sleeve, Sam flung her off. He stood up fro

    "Just now in the house, I didn't mean to fling your hand away. I was too angry and didn't control myself. I'm sorry, Becca." Sam sounded solemn as he looked intently at Rebecca.After a long while, he pulled his hand out of Rebecca's grasp."This is far enough for you to see me off. I'll send a message and tell Ethan to come get you here. Better that than having you get lost again. If you wanna go out for some fun tomorrow, I'll pick you up. I'm leaving now."Just as he was about to leave, Rebecca went after him again. She grabbed his sleeve tightly and said, "I wanna go with you!"Sam paused. Although he didn't say anything, his expression showed how troubled he felt.Rebecca didn't let go. Instead, she persisted. "I have something for you."Sam thinned his lips but didn't shake her off. "Follow me if you want."He turned. Under the low light of the street lamps, it was clear that he was smiling. But an instant later, his expression changed back to one of carelessness."Where

    Rebecca wasn't afraid of Sam. Even when he threatened her, she only blinked innocently. Seeing the way Rebecca reacted, Sam's face became filled with annoyance. He didn't keep walking, though. He stayed in place and said, "What are you doing standing there daydreaming? Are you coming or not?"Under the moonlight, the light cast long shadows behind them.Rebecca stepped across the shadows of the trees and said softly, "Sam, I'm serious. Although it was a joke telling you to cry, I hope you don't keep everything in your heart." She continued, "Do you remember what I said to Oliver this afternoon? Crying is a healthy form of release. It's not shameful at all. I hope you can vent your emotions through communication or other means. Don't just run off like you did tonight."Such a thing can be harmful, and it makes us worried about you. Plus, it's damaging to your health if you keep things locked up. What's the point of that? We're a family, so there's no point in being so calculative

    Albert and the rest soon arrived. Within the next half an hour, the brothers rushed to Nate's villa with Oliver in tow.When Rebecca heard that her adorable nephew was coming, she couldn't be bothered to chat with Penny anymore. She threw her phone aside and went to welcome her nephew.As soon as the little guy got out of the car, Rebeccas scooped him up and hugged him tightly."Oh my! Oliver is so adorable! He's soft and cute!" Rebecca used to dislike children, especially those of this age. She found them to be noisy and annoying. But when it came to Oliver, she couldn't help but dote on him. Even though it was their first formal meeting today, she wished she could keep him with her forever.Albert, who had come down from the driver's seat, watched as his little sister and son clung to each other. He felt both helpless and surprised by their interaction. His son usually ignored everyone. And at just five years old, he seemed cold and mature. Except for Zelda, he had never shown af

    Rebecca quickly averted her gaze when she remembered she was staring at Nate earlier. She felt a bit embarrassed about being caught. She gave a small smile and adjusted Oliver in her arms. "He's not heavy. I used to practice carrying sandbags, so holding him is no big deal."Oliver instinctively clung tighter to Rebecca due to her movement, but he felt concerned for her after hearing her words. "Aunt Rebecca, you can put me down. I'm already five years old. I can walk by myself. You don't have to carry me all the time."Rebecca must have gone through a lot of hardships before this. So, it was only natural that the men should protect her now that she was back. He wouldn't allow himself to burden her no matter how young he was.With that thought in mind, Oliver struggled to get out of Rebecca's embrace.Rebecca didn't want to drop him and risk hurting him. So, she carefully placed him on the ground.Meanwhile, Nate silently observed them with pursed lips.He focused on Rebecca's

Most of his time was consumed by work.He had dreamed of her again, Rebecca Brown. He should have forgotten all about her by now. Yet she kept appearing in his dreams over and over again.

He couldn't escape these dreams, and they left him entangled.With furrowed brows, Daniel closed his eyes and tried to let the sound of rain drown out his troubled thoughts.

    Ryan came to the office the next day and was startled as he pushed the door open. The man was sitting at his desk, staring at his shattered phone. A sense of desolation surrounded him.There was a fresh scar on his palm as if it had been cut by something, and the dried bloodstains made it look gruesome and terrifying.Ryan hesitated and walked over to knock on Daniel's desk. "Are you okay?"Daniel didn't say a word, his gaze still fixed on the broken phone in front of him. Ryan didn't know what to say either.He scratched his head and stared at Daniel for a while. "Don't think too much over what happened yesterday. That woman, Jessica ... you know the kind of person she is. You said you married her just because she treated you well. You married her to fulfill a wish, so don't let it bother you too much. The company still needs you."Although Ryan didn't think it was worth being sad for a woman like Jessica, he could understand why Daniel felt the way he did. Especially when it was

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    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.

    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

    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
