Yearning for Her Return Chapter 380 What a Bunch of Nonsense
After Serena said these sharp words, punctuated by sobs, everyone at the table fell silent.Even though Rebecca didn't quite agree with what Serena said, there were elders at the table, and it wasn't her place to say anything about it.It was true that James and Angela had shown more care to Rebecca and Zelda, but that wasn't something out of the ordinary. After all, Zelda and Rebecca were relatives they hadn't seen in a long time. Compared to those they saw every day, it was clear that it made more sense for James and Angela to treat them more warmly. One could even say that James and Angela were treating Zelda as a guest, not family. That was why she was getting different treatment than Mary, who was always around the house.Shouldn't they treat their guests better? It was laughable for Serena to accuse James of favoritism at a time like this.If Angela really favored Zelda, why would she claim that Zelda was being stubborn for not coming home in so many years, especially w

The expressions of everyone gathered changed drastically. Then, they all rushed to James' side. Everything became a mess. Meanwhile, the perpetrator of all this stood in place, at a loss. However, no one could be bothered with her.Angela started crying, tears streaming down her face. She kept mumbling prayers as she called James' name.Zelda, Henry, and Emily were all very anxious. They kept crying about calling an ambulance, leaving the actual task to the youngsters behind them.Jimmy reacted swiftly and solemnly and called for an ambulance. "Mom, Dad, don't worry. The ambulance will be here soon. Don't move Grandpa just yet. Let him recover."At the end of the table, Rebecca and Albert were standing around James, their expressions grim. Rebecca's fingers were shaking, and she unconsciously tugged Albert.Albert patted her shoulder and comforted her in his deep voice. "Becca, didn't you learn a few things from Dr. Manson? You should go have a look.""I …" Rebecca bit her lip.

In all honesty, Angela didn't want to split the family assets. The Stigg family had never done something like this before, and neither had her birth family. In the past, everyone stayed together and did their best to get along. Nothing like this had ever happened before.Angela had wanted to act as a mediator at this family banquet. She thought she could ease things in such a way that they could all stay together and continue living in harmony.At least, she hoped that the family could stay together until after she and James were both dead and gone. She didn't want all these arguments to keep happening anymore. With how much these siblings argued, others saw them as a joke.If it didn't work, then they would split the family assets, and Henry and Emily would move out. But there were still some conditions to this so that they wouldn't sever ties completely. This included discussing who would care for her and James, mandating the family still had to meet up during the holidays, and th

"I asked you to come out here tonight because there are some things I'd like to clear up with you."Henry slowly turned back to face Serena. He maintained a smile on his face, and his gaze was warm, too. He looked like he was still treating Serena graciously since she was his niece.It was a shame then that the words sounded ruthless when they came out."According to Dad's arrangements, you and Mary should have a share in Gourmet Haven. When the branch restaurant starts running again, I hope you won't tell others that I taught you to cook if someone asks."Serena stiffened. "But … didn't you teach me?"Henry chuckled and shook his head. "I always teach my apprentices the basics of knife work first. Then, I teach them sauteing. The last thing they learn is how things should taste. In your cooking, you manage to do decently at the final stage. Your food tastes good, but you never learned any of the basic skills."How can you say then that you learned from me as my apprentice? Just

Jimmy looked up at James. "I don't think that way." He had already gotten what he wanted. Indeed, he hadn't been forced to do anything he didn't want either.Although he had been forced to move out because of Mary, living alone gave him comfort and freedom. As such, he didn't consider it neglect. He had always remained true to himself in his 20-odd years of life. Thus, he really didn't feel that his family had wronged him or anything.However, he did understand what James meant now. He didn't lack love, nor was he as greedy as Serena, who had to obtain everything she wanted. He had learned to be content with his life. After all, he had the care and affection of his parents and grandparents.With all of this, Jimmy didn't feel neglected. As for preferential treatment or playing favorites, he didn't think too much about that.One could never be completely fair when it came to emotions. One's heart wasn't a scale, after all.Mary and Serena always threw tantrums and cried while h

The case was really fishy.After realizing that there was something amiss, the police went to investigate whether there were any grudges between the victim and the truck driver. But the victim was a car dealership employee who worked hard all his life. There wasn't any trouble he could get into. There wasn't anything suspicious about the driver who had caused the accident, either.He didn't drink or smoke, didn't gamble, or participate in any vices. He didn't owe any debts. His family life was happy. As such, there was really no cause for him to commit the crime intentionally.Besides, the driver insisted that he had been driving when he was too tired to do so. As such, he was willing to suffer the punishment he was sentenced to. That was why the case could only be handled as an accident. After hearing what Albert said, Jimmy saw where the key to this lay. The person who had gotten hurt wasn't the true target.After realizing this, Jimmy exchanged a look with Albert, his gaze b

The next day arrived.Rebecca woke up relatively early. After all, she couldn't do as she pleased in the Stigg residence.To her surprise, everyone was already downstairs when she went down with Zelda. Even James, who had been taken to the hospital the previous night, was there. He was sitting at the head of the dining table, reading a newspaper.Everyone seemed to be acting normal. It was as if nothing had happened the previous night. Even Mary and Serena were sitting at the table obediently. They showed no signs of displeasure.Rebecca would have thought that the confrontation at the dining table last night was a dream if she hadn't noticed Mary's guilty expression and the hatred in Serena's eyes.But she didn't dwell on it. She acted as if nothing had happened and avoided making eye contact with them. Instead, she continued to assist Zelda down the stairs. "Zelda, Becca, you're up. What a perfect timing. The dishes are ready, and the oatmeal is almost done. Let's have break

Mary snapped to her senses after getting pointed out.She raised her head and locked eyes with Rebecca, who was sitting across from her. A shiver ran down her spine immediately.Rebecca saw Mary's expression. Her grip on her cutleries tightened. By this point, she could read between the lines. Apart from that accident, something else was making Mary guilty.Even that so-called accident couldn't spark such a reaction from Mary.Only matters concerning life could evoke such fear in her. When this realization hit, Rebecca's breath hitched.She had never thought that someone in her family would attempt to harm her in such a way. Even though she knew Mary was greedy, she never expected her to stoop to such actions.The fact that it happened when Oliver was with her made her even more furious. Rebecca had already foreseen that not everybody in the family would welcome her when she returned.After all, not everyone would readily accept a person who had been wandering outside

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
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
