After the call with Rebecca, Markus couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. He looked like a father who was delighted his married daughter was still holding him in her thoughts.He hummed a little tune. Following Dennis's instructions from last night, he checked his flight details.Liam, who was opposite him, had a gloomy look on his face. He couldn't stand Markus's idiotic smile and knocked on the table. "Hey! Why didn't you tell Rebecca about me?""I don't know what you're talking about." Markus gave him an innocent look.Markus's smile grew even wider at Liam's frustrated frown. He had it coming!It was clear he approved of Rebecca's culinary skills. Yet he kept claiming that the taste wasn't authentic, hoping to come off as a mysterious elder to her.Now, look at that! Rebecca finally gave up and left!No wonder people kept saying Liam was weird and had a bad temper. Rumors had some basis in truth. Now that Rebecca had been gone for two months, he suddenly started caring an
Jessica never thought she'd get barred from entering the Winston Group. After yesterday's disastrous wedding banquet, her mother phoned Daniel countless times. She even sent Daniel many text messages, but Daniel ignored them. Left without a choice, Jessica could only approach Daniel in person. Little did she expect the Winston Group's security guards to stop her from entering. No matter what, Jessica was once the country's top actress. Although not everyone was her fan, they recognized her face from various advertisements. Plus, she often entered and exited the Winston Group under Daniel's permission before the scandal broke out. So, plenty of employees knew her.It was lunch hour now, so several people glanced at her when walking by. Some even recognized her and took photos of her. Jessica didn't know what they whispered, but she could tell it wasn't anything nice. They stared at her with obvious contempt.Jessica had never experienced such treatment before. Even when she had to
It was a pity that Jessica, who was on the other end of the call, was unaware. She couldn't see Daniel's vicious expression and was only concerned with her interests. Jessica nearly cried from feeling panicked. Even the words she spoke sounded jumbled. "Dan, that video last night was someone's way of framing me! Yes! Someone set me up—it's Rebecca! Do you remember Sam, who was close to her? "He's the president of XR Entertainment. His cousin is a hacker. That's the one who played those videos at our wedding banquet. You can't do this to me …"Daniel had a headache at that moment. He massaged the spot between his brows to soothe it. Yet, Daniel stiffened upon hearing Sam's name. The frost in his eyes intensified because he believed Sam had stolen Rebecca from him. Daniel could no longer suppress the darkness and rage in his eyes. He mercilessly interrupted Jessica and snarled, "So what if Becca was behind it? Aren't you and those other men still the repulsive people in th
"Former Female Celebrity Has Mental Breakdown and Attacks Passers-by."Rebecca saw that news headline on her way to pick up Oliver. She went to collect the latter with a concerned mindset, but she never thought the perpetrator would be someone she knew from long ago. She wondered why Jessica would do that.Thick smoke engulfed the car in the video. Luckily, a fire truck on a drill passed by and put out the fire. There was no telling how bad the incident would've gotten if they didn't do so. As for Jessica, she was in a severely bad condition when they rescued her from the car. Blood coated her face, and her clothes got burned by the flames. She looked utterly miserable. According to the news report, Jessica's car went haywire and drove toward the group that waited for the pedestrian crossing lights. It was like she wanted to kill all the passers-by. The passers-by were lucky to have noticed something was amiss. They fled the area on time, which allowed for no casualties. On
The board members dared not ask, nor did they feel the need to. They would have an easier time since their boss was in a good mood. So, they much preferred it if he beamed like that every day.Kenneth didn't remain in the conference room for long. He got up after Rebecca texted him that she was about to arrive. Kenneth soon left with his phone and a smile on his face. He entrusted the project meeting to his trusty oldest son.Still, nobody could ignore Kenneth's superior status, no matter how quietly he moved. His actions attracted many's attention, including Albert. So, he knocked the desk to snap everyone's focus back to the meeting. "Please continue." Everyone snapped to their senses after he said that, and the meeting continued.However, Albert's thoughts had drifted elsewhere. His dad valued appearances when outside of their home. Kenneth's face would darken once things got slightly serious. Kenneth's cold exterior never faltered, apart from whenever Zelda visited. Yet, Zel
Rebecca noticed Wendy the moment the latter came in. She thought Wendy was only Albert's assistant, and the latter would leave after setting the documents and laptop down. Yet, the latter fell into a daze and seemed upset."Oh, my bad." Wendy apologized upon realizing she had lost her composure. Without saying anything more, she put down the things and left the room. Her retreating figure seemed like she was running from something.Rebecca stared at the former. She only snapped to her senses when Albert handed her a drink. She opened the juice bottle and drank its contents before speaking. "Albert, was she your assistant?""Yeah," Albert responded in a low voice while looking outside the one-way glass door. He caught a glimpse of the slim figure leaving the general office area. Then, he retracted and lowered his gaze. "Why?"Rebecca also realized the door in Albert's office had the perfect view of Wendy's desk. Still, there were large printers and objects in the general office
Rebeca was in shock. Her once cheery face paled with helplessness. She didn't have time to think about anything and stood to chase after Oliver instead. Even Kenneth and Albert were shocked, but they joined her in looking for Oliver.Oliver ran at the speed of light. Plus, many miscellaneous items crowded the office, so he vanished in the blink of an eye.Rebecca only saw a vague figure when she came outside. She followed it past hallways leading to various office areas within the company. Rebecca looked past the many employees at their desks but couldn't see Oliver anywhere. Guilt filled Rebecca, who never thought this would happen. She had thought too highly of herself. She assumed Oliver treated her differently from others. After all, he hugged her tight and cried about feeling aggrieved the night before. Oliver hadn't told anyone about it except her. So, she tried to explain the situation to Oliver in the mentality of an older family member. Rebecca wanted to say Albert sho
Inside the phone was a photo, which happened to be the scene from the recent conversation between Albert and Rebecca. Quincy had secretly taken quite a few photos and was eagerly sharing them with Wendy. Not only was Quincy describing the situation, but she was also constantly swiping through the photos on her phone. "Ms. Sherman, I heard you've been with Mr. Johnson for seven years. Do you know this beautiful lady? What's her relationship with Mr. Johnson?" The shooting angle was good; the camera perfectly captured the profiles of the two people. The man in the tailored suit affectionately raised his hand to pat the girl's head, wearing a gentle smile on his face and an unmistakable fondness in his eyes. No matter who saw it, they couldn't help but exclaim that it looked just like a scene from a romance TV show. Even Wendy couldn't help but stare blankly at these photos. Indeed, they were a perfect match, both in terms of talent and appearance. "Speaking of which, th
