"That's impossible!" Daniel denied that possibility on the spot. At the same time, he turned to look at the bustling dance floor instead of Ryan.He continued, "If I really liked her, why would I divorce her in the first place? As for the reason why I keep dragging the divorce out—"The man spun his glass around before leaning over to place it on the table. "Just think about it. News of our divorce has just spread, yet a bunch of suspicious people have already barged into her life. We're still childhood friends at the end of the day. I can't just sit by and let her walk into danger."Ryan was unhappy with that statement, as proven by his frown. He still had an unlit cigarette between his lips as he said, "I don't care if you slander other people, but why did I get dragged into this mess as well? Are we even best friends at this point?"Daniel shot Ryan a glance before huffing in response. "It's precisely due to how well I know you that I dragged your name through the mud as well."
Once the progress bar was fully loaded, the folder containing the video evidence reappeared in Rebecca's email inbox. At the same time, a chat box popped up on the monitor.Caleb: "Becca, have the videos been restored?"Becca: "Yup! They've been completely restored! Thank you for your help, Caleb!"Caleb: "It's nothing. Besides, you'd have completed this task without my help anyway. By the way, I got my hands on the security footage of that woman's accident as well as her medical records. You can take a look at them. Feel free to contact me whenever you need me."Rebecca received another email in her inbox.After downloading the contents, she clicked on the medical records. Once she was done reading the entire document, her eyes had already gone slightly wide. She started having mixed feelings about what she just read.She sent Caleb another message.Becca: "This seems pretty … interesting, to say the least."Caleb: "You have yet to feast your eyes on the real surprise. I'll se
"How could you say that Four Seasons isn't to be blamed here? Let's talk about facts here!" the man with the metal baseball bat argued loudly.Rebecca looked down, clearly noticing the thing in the man's hands. A smile played on her lips at that moment. "Are you saying that you want to talk about facts?"He promptly hid his hand behind his back. The bat then clattered noisily against the cement ground, the loud sounds of ringing metal continuing to echo as the pipe rolled across the ground.Only when the bat got blocked by a stone in its way did it stop rolling, thus restoring silence to the scene.A moment later, the man swallowed loudly before reiterating, "Yes! Let's talk about facts!"Rebecca nodded in response. "Not a problem. Tell me, how is Four Seasons to be blamed?"Her nonchalance successfully reignited the flames of rage in the man's eyes. Now, he was brimming with confidence once more.How dare this woman and the kitchen staff think they were in the right? It was a s
"For those who have made reservations to dine here today and were affected by the temporary closure of our restaurant, you may come here anytime in the future with your reservation details. We'll serve you three of your favorite dishes for free. You may order anything as your freebies. The appreciation of culinary delicacies is very subjective. We at Four Seasons respect our customers' tastes and preferences. If your preferences truly clash with our food, you may select other dishes or even head to another restaurant. We aren't bold enough to claim that our food is able to satisfy everyone's taste buds, but we're very confident in the food we serve."Rebecca continued, "Last but not least, our doors will no longer remain closed. Our business hours will remain the same. Those who have made dinner reservations can come over right now. You may change your reservation time as well. To the patrons and the people present, please take care of yourselves when you're traveling. We hope that we
There was an image posted right above the message with the question. It showed Rebecca applying medicine to a wounded person at Four Seasons. However, no one chose to say anything about it.However, when Albert asked the question on the group chat, everyone started answering him right away.Ethan: "@Sam, let's not talk about what happened at the nightclub for now. It's fine for Becca to go there and have fun, seeing as she's an adult and all, but it's your fault for letting the media outlets write articles about her. There are tons of mixed opinions about her on the internet now. Need I mention that the Browns have their own team of specialists who can make things worse for Becca? Having her in the spotlight is an incredibly bad move."Alex: "Calm down, everyone. Caleb has already dealt with the news on the internet. Sam, you should reflect on yourself. Once I reach Riverwood, I hope that you can let me take over your duties as soon as possible."Caleb: "The man who danced with Bec
The words Four Seasons, back kitchen, and help were all that were needed to cast aspersions on Rebecca, decrying her to be a woman who gained her position by seducing the president of XR Entertainment with her face and body. To think they had wondered if she were an heiress. The guests present at the fashion event tonight were wealthy and respected. Some were scions of high society while others were artists matchless in their respective fields. They were also those who took the opportunity to socialize and network. Not one of them was an unknown face. It was unthinkable for someone who usually waited on others to be here among them. The awestruck gazes turned to contempt.Rebecca paused in her steps and swept a cool glance over Jessica before resuming her strides with Sam."Why are you going so fast, Rebecca? It's such a nice coincidence for us to meet here. Let's go in together." Jessica had come alone and quickly caught up to them. Daniel had no interest in an event like this. Sh
Daniel's marriage had caused a stir in the circle. It was George who forced him to marry Rebecca, but she was sent abroad on the night of their wedding. Everyone laughed at her for her failure in latching onto a powerful man. She had no support whatsoever. Even her position as Mrs. Winston was a farce. On the other hand, the other Brown heiress had already regarded herself as the rightful Mrs. Winston. She was waiting for the divorce to happen to legitimize her position and thought she managed to accomplish what she set out to do. After all, the Browns spread the news that Daniel and Jessica were to hold a wedding within the next few days half a month ago. But it turned out that the man had yet to officially settle his divorce. What a joke!"What did you say?" Jessica seemed confused by Rebecca's words. She was shoved aside before she could finish!A man in a suit and leather shoes strode up to Rebecca with a grim expression. His words were tinged with anger. "Did you already forge
"Have you heard the rumors going around? The adopted daughter of the Brown family who got kicked out after signing the severance papers is here with us tonight. How shameless can she be? If it were me, I would've stayed well in my lane by working at the restaurant." It was a familiar face that spoke—Florence Seales. She was the one who helped Jessica film that video at Four Seasons."Seriously? She and Mr. Winston are already divorced. The Browns no longer acknowledge her. What right does she have to show up here at Fanny's fashion event? So many of us didn't qualify for an invitation.""What else could it be? She switched targets after failing to capture Mr. Winston's heart. It's the president of XR Entertainment, Sam Johnson. Didn't you hear? She arrived with Mr. Johnson.""What a shameless whore! This event is so strictly vetted. Why did they allow random people in here?"The group of women held flutes of champagne in their hands. Disgust graced their features at the words excha
