Yearning for Her Return Chapter 228 Such a Busybody
Rebecca found the situation both amusing and exasperating. She had never expected Mrs. Winston to be so eager to meddle in Daniel's affairs. Just after she had divorced Daniel, Mrs. Winston readily agreed to accept Jessica into the Winston family. Now that Jessica's engagement had been called off, she was already coming up with new plans.Furthermore, Rebecca had never imagined that Mrs. Winston would set her sights on the Johnson family.Rebecca had no intention of remarrying or returning to her previous marriage. She couldn't fathom why Mrs. Winston believed that the Johnson family would be willing to marry their daughter off to someone like Daniel, who was frequently trending due to his scandals.The messenger was quite foolish too. They never considered the situation from the Johnson family's perspective. If it were their own daughter, would they agree to such a marriage? Nevertheless, it wasn't her concern. "Alright, Mom, don't let this upset you. Let's just treat it
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 229 Seven Years
It was a rare occurrence to see Zelda setting aside her usual grace and becoming so furious. Seeing this, Rebecca smiled brightly to one side. Thinking of the phone call this morning, she nodded and played along. "Isn't that right? It's all my fault for not knowing many people when I was younger. That's why I was so blind as to only like him."Thinking about it now, Rebecca really felt that it was lamentable. She had really been bound by the marriage arrangement decided by the elders of the two families. Zelda was enjoying herself as her daughter massaged her shoulders."Don't think about what happened in the past anymore. There's a long road ahead of you still. There are many handsome young men in Rookfort. Once you get familiar with things here, have Albert bring you around and attend more charity auctions and such. Got it?"Great. There they went again.Rebecca felt troubled by the suggestion, but she obediently agreed to it. Then, she turned to look pleadingly over at Alber
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 230 I Found You
Him?Albert became slightly stunned when he heard Rebecca's question. He even drove slower in response.Rebecca understood what was going on with just a glance. "Alright, Albert. Focus on the road. Remember I'm in the car too," she joked, prompting Albert to come back to himself.Albert chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't put you in danger."Rebecca laughed as well. However, she didn't respond. She only turned to look out the window.The scenery sped by outside. Besides the occasional reminders from the GPS, there wasn't much noise in the car. There were many things in life that remained shrouded if no one pointed them out. Sometimes, it was just a brave step that banished the curtain of ignorance. It was a shame that there were far more cowards in life. Albert was one, and so was Rebecca herself.That Wendy person seemed to be one too.But luckily, Albert still had a chance.The night breeze swept up the fallen leaves by the roadside in a swirl. After a brief dance, they fell to
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 231 Wendy's Rejection
"You …"Albert's words astonished Wendy so much that she couldn't speak. She stared at Albert's large figure before her as her heart roiled. He …Did he know what he was saying?As if he'd heard her thoughts, Albert answered."I know what I'm saying, and I'm very clear about what I'm doing. Wendy, I like you. Can you not leave?"Wendy's heart raced. She instinctively took a step backward, seemingly wanting to run away.Albert liked her? Did he really like her?How was that possible? How could Albert Johnson actually like her?Wendy patted her face lightly and inhaled deeply. She walked past Albert as she mumbled to herself."I must be seeing things. Really, is there a need to be so happy about quitting that I'm hallucinating? Wendy, stop daydreaming. How could you have such an unrealistic dream …"Before she could take two steps, someone grabbed her slender wrist.Caught unawares, Wendy fell into that person's warm embrace.Losing her balance, Wendy's forehead knocked int
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 232 I Have Someone I Like
Wendy looked up at Albert, meeting his gaze directly."I have someone I like," she repeated, her tone solemn.All the words Albert wanted to say disappeared when he heard this, and he became unable to say a thing. He kept silent, he put away his intentions to try and endear himself to her and regained an air of coldness.He became even colder than the breeze that blew in from the river."Really?" Albert finally squeezed out bitterly.Wendy's complexion was deathly pale as she said, "Yes!" Her teeth were gritted, and it had been very difficult to get the words out. Yet, she forced a smile. "Why would I lie to you? There's no need for such a thing in this situation, is there? Logically speaking, most women would want to date you, Mr. Johnson. If I didn't already have someone I like, why would I reject your confession?"Albert was the eldest son of the richest man in Riverwood and the heir to the MRC Group. Oh, wait. He was actually the person currently in charge of the MRC Group.
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 233 You and Albert
For a moment, Wendy felt like she had something stuck in her throat. She tried to swallow it down, but it hurt. Still, she couldn't cough it out.So, when Albert had said that she liked her, did he do it while allowing another woman to sit in his car's front passenger seat?Wendy's chest hurt sharply, but she didn't want to argue with Albert any further. Faking calm, she looked away and held back her anger."It's getting late, Albert. I should be getting back. I've thought through my resignation very seriously, so I hope that you can approve it as soon as possible." After saying that, Wendy turned and left without looking at Albert.Wendy had misjudged.Albert didn't expect Wendy to react this way. Things had definitely gotten better just now, but now the situation between them had become tense again."A reason." In an instant, Albert's emotions overwhelmed him. "If you want to resign, you must at least give me a reason."He grabbed Wendy almost instinctively, shoving aside all
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 234 Just Albert's Sister
"You … H-he's your older brother?" Wendy was frozen in place as her brain stopped working. She didn't react for a long while.So … she had misunderstood Albert? Was Rebecca really just Albert's sister?Looking at Rebecca in her purple dress, Wendy was even more speechless. Seeing the way Wendy was reacting, Rebecca could guess what she was thinking. She couldn't help but smile. But she didn't go overboard and expose Wendy for her thoughts. She only spoke gently to pull Wendy back to earth."Wendy, you should go wash up first. Breakfast has been prepared downstairs. Once you're done, we can all have breakfast. Can we go shopping later? I just got back to Rookfort and Albert's always so busy. He said he gave you some time off, so you can go with me."Bringing Wendy home last night, Rebecca had gotten some information from Albert as they traveled. Although she still didn't understand why Wendy insisted on quitting, she was sure that her clueless brother couldn't see Wendy's feelin
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 235 An Interesting Breakfast
It was lucky that Wendy had worked with Albert for so many years and met some famous people herself. Though there was a storm in her heart, her feelings didn't show on her face.Wendy smiled warmly and said good morning to the three men at the table. Then, she took a seat before the plate of pancakes that Rebecca had indicated.There was another man at the table that Wendy didn't recognize, but she was sure that he must be someone impressive too. Looking at his resemblance with Ethan, she guessed that he was another relative of the Johnson family.Wendy didn't ask about it. She picked up a fork and knife and started eating. Honestly, she didn't have the time to ask about it either.When she took her first bite of the pancakes, its delicious taste filled her mouth. The pancakes had been cooked just right, and the different toppings made the eating experience that much more enjoyable. She added more maple syrup and kept eating.Enjoying her pancakes, Wendy felt like her body was f

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
