Yearning for Her Return Chapter 246 Why Won’t You Consider Me?
Things were bustling at the Johnson residence. It was Sam's birthday, and he'd been away from home for a few years. Everyone was busy preparing.Even Kenneth had gotten up early. He hadn't gone to the company, though. He and Sam weren't on the best terms, but there was no changing the fact that they were father and son.Besides, the apple of his eye was now home. They had to make sure that she had a good time here.Rebecca didn't laze around. She intended to cook the birthday meal. And there were two—no, three—honored guests with them.Upon arriving home after picking Markus and Liam up, Rebecca found that Wendy was still around. Zelda had somehow convinced her to stay.Considering Wendy's personality, Rebecca thought she would hide in a corner as far away from Albert as possible. She was surprised that she'd agreed to stay.Well, the Johnson residence was big enough to accommodate the guests. In the past, their uncle, Joe Johnson, and Felicia used to stay with them. But as Zel

They weren't standing too close to each other, but Wendy felt like Albert had pulled her into his arms when he leaned down.She almost didn't dare to look him in the eye. "Mr. Johnson, it's as you said. You're handsome, and you come from a good family. There are plenty of women better than me in this world, and they'd suit you better. You and I don't make a good match."Wendy couldn't take it anymore. She took a step back but kept her head up as she spoke.Marriages were about balance and equality. If they weren't good for each other, they wouldn't make a good match.Albert wasn't discouraged by her words and actions. He looked at her seriously. "You can't just say we're not a good match and leave it at that. Try being with me if you don't believe me. I can protect you, as can my family."The Johnson family had become what it currently was because of his father's hard work. If they were being honest, Kenneth wasn't worthy of Zelda.The Gibson family had built its foundation with
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 248 A Fortunate Life
"Riverwood?"Albert was planning to leave with Wendy, but he paused when he heard the name of the place which he knew so well. The atmosphere around him even turned frigid with tension.He hadn’t forgotten what his aunt had done.She had decided on Rebecca's wedding on her own even before meeting her. Albert was even irritated that she wanted Rebecca to marry into the Winston family.He scorned the notion that his aunt was visiting of her own accord and that she had even brought honored guests from Riverwood. He sneered.Serena didn't realize the change in Albert’s demeanor. She still looked immensely pleased. She took a step toward Albert. "Yes. I think they'll be here soon. Do you want to go and greet them with me?" "Sure."Albert was expressionless. He turned away quietly to put some distance between him and Serena.He lowered his gaze. Then he softened his voice and spoke to Wendy."There might be quite a number of guests visiting later. Just stay with Mom and don't go an
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 249 The Reunion
Everyone looked toward the sound and met Albert's cold, indifferent eyes. Mary felt a wave of guilt wash over her at that instant. Zelda was easy for her to deceive, but Albert, on the other hand, wasn't a fool.She immediately smiled and said, " Oh, Albert, you know how I always speak before I think. You know how well I treat your family for sure."How well she treated his family? Albert sneered. He hadn’t forgotten what Mary had done.Mary had been nagging Zelda about how she had married the wrong person during Albert's early years when his parents were still working hard on their careers. She kept complaining that Zelda should have listened to her elders instead so she wouldn't endure all the hardships. She kept emphasizing how unfortunate Zelda's life was.Albert was disgusted with her remarks. She even questioned Zelda and asked her why she married a laborer instead of someone else because the Stiggs were one of the well-known families in Rookfort.Unfortunately, Mary had

The woman's voice, which came from behind the trees, instantly dissipated the tense atmosphere of the standoff.Everyone couldn't help but look toward the source of the voice, especially Daniel. He quickly looked in the direction of the familiar voice. He attempted to catch a glimpse of the face that would only appear in his dreams, but the trees were in the way.Mary was also curious about her niece, whom she had never met. She couldn't be bothered to notice how impatient Daniel looked and leaned forward with curiosity.Serena, on the other hand, wasn't being as obvious as they were. She looked impatient instead. She couldn't understand how Rebecca could get so much attention from them as the Johnsons had just found her.She thought Rebecca wouldn't be of one mind with the family either because she hadn't stayed with her family for twenty years. She couldn't understand why the Johnsons were so willing to show affection to her. She thought they did not need to do so because Rebecca
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 251 Ostracizing Me
Rebecca never thought a person’s expression could change so many times within a minute. This cousin of hers was really something!Without wanting to stay and let Daniel continue ogling at her, Rebecca tugged her eldest brother's sleeve. "Albert, Sam said he's arriving soon. Shall we go and receive him?"Albert grunted in agreement. He also didn't wish to continue speaking with them. Just as he was about to excuse himself, Mary lightly pulled Serena's arm."You should hurry along to get Sammy. Serena and I are familiar with the house. We can guide Mr. Winston and Mr. Jenkins without an issue," Mary blurted. She gave her plus-ones a knowing look, and the four of them vanished behind the lush foliage soon after.Rebecca was taken aback. She never knew Daniel could be that brazen. She started dragging Albert to the main gate as she huffed, "It's my home. I don't need to be afraid of him."About a minute later, Rebecca asked, "Albert, why is he here?""I'm not sure. Aunt Mary brought
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 252 Comparisons
"We wouldn't dare—" Sam stopped abruptly. His gaze turned sharp instantaneously once it fell onto a certain someone. Daniel Winston!"What is he doing here?" Sam asked in an icy tone.Rebecca put her hands in her pockets and replied, "Aunt Mary brought him along as her plus-one. Albert had wanted to chase him away earlier, but he's so thick-skinned that we couldn't stop him from joining."Her attitude towards Daniel was ambivalent compared to Sam's cold demeanor. She no longer felt anything for him and refused to continue looking at him. She felt that it was a waste of time to entertain him.When she left Riverwood, she thought it would be hard to forget a past lover. She worried she might be attracted to him the next time they met. However, that didn't happen. She had gotten used to better things, so the past didn't matter to her anymore. She had also started to forget what he looked like after spending so much time with her family.She thought she could’ve gone the rest of her
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 253 Goddamn It
Kenneth didn't want to be petty with the younger ones. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with his former son-in-law, he still had basic manners and gave Daniel a curt reply. Markus, who was playing chess with Dr. Manson, had the opposite reaction. In his anger, he slammed his knight on the chessboard and checkmated his opponent. In an aggressive tone, he said, "Mr. Johnson is really a gentleman. If I were in his shoes, that guy wouldn't even make it past the main gate!"Although no names were said, everyone knew who he was referring to.Daniel didn't mind it, as Markus had hurled much worse insults at him in Riverwood. This time, he was kind enough to omit his name.Daniel left after receiving permission. His whole demeanor exuded class and elegance, with none of the authoritative posture from Riverwood to be seen. He may have lowered his status, but he didn't lose it.Kenneth looked at Daniel's retreating back and sighed lightly. "What a waste. He would've been an admirable

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

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
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
