"What are you doing?"

The bowl, still filled with oatmeal, landed in front of Serena. It startled her.

"I already said that I wasn't talking about you. Everybody is free now. Can't I gossip about a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry? Are you trying to put yourself into the shoes of that Z-list actress, Ms. Johnson?"

Rebecca stared at her coldly, and her voice was indifferent. "How dare you speak ill of my friend before me? How dare you mock her? I could have splashed that bowl of oatmeal on your face. You deserve that. Serena, you should be grateful that you started this after I had finished breakfast."

Serena couldn't argue with that. Rebecca's cold demeanor left her speechless.

She might have been in for a lot more than just a bowl of oatmeal if she had started this conversation while Rebecca was eating.

The intense coldness in Rebecca's gaze overwhelmed Serena. She dared not utter a word.

She was shocked to her core, and her mind was screaming at her. Rebecca had

    However, humans tend to be selfish. Henry still wanted to give it a try.After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Rebecca."Becca, don't you think it's a waste to hide your talent from the world? Your grandfather hopes you can display your capabilities by entrusting Gourmet Haven to you. You can also rely on Gourmet Haven ...""But, Uncle, I don't need it."Rebecca ruthlessly interrupted him.The truth always hurt the most because it could shatter one's fantasies.She could rely on the Johnsons. Why would she take on the trouble of becoming a chef at Gourmet Haven?Was it all for the sake of preserving the family's past glory?Henry fell silent. He felt somewhat disheartened.A past memory suddenly flashed across his mind.Rebecca glanced at her disappointed uncle and pursed her lips.She could understand the adults' kind gesture, but she didn't want to sacrifice herself.

    Rebecca was shocked. She couldn't be bothered to ask Zelda what had happened. She forced herself to calm down."Mom, calm down. I'll get the car keys, and we'll go to the hospital right away.""I'll give you guys a ride. Becca, you can look after Aunt Zelda."Jimmy frowned beside them.He was strolling around the garden with Zelda earlier. Then, he saw Zelda's expression change after picking up a call. He quickly rushed over without knowing what had happened. Just like Rebecca, he only knew that something happened to Ollie. They had to go to the hospital to find out the details.Rebecca didn't ask any more questions. She grabbed Zelda's cold hand and flashed Jimmy a grateful look."Thanks, Jimmy.""No worries."Without wasting any time, Jimmy led them out of the mansion.Henry sent them out. He looked as solemn as they were. "Don't worry. It's probably not a major issue. Just be sure to call us when you're at the hospital and drive safely.""I got it."Jimmy answered his f

    As Maxwell had said on the phone, he arrived two minutes later.He had overheard their conversation on the phone and had an inkling of what was happening. So, he hurried to the hospital.When he arrived at the scene, a doctor was drawing Rebecca's blood.Maxwell clenched the report in his hand and frowned. "I thought we agreed I would do this?"Feeling the cold needle pierce her vein, Rebecca clenched her fist. The momentary pain subsided, and she didn't feel much after that. She squeezed a softball in her hand and smiled at Maxwell, who had a concerned expression. "It's alright. I'm Oliver's aunt, so it's only right that I go first. We can do it together if you're willing to do it with me." Maxwell watched as the blood slowly flowed into the bag. He pursed his lips lightly.Then, he sat beside Rebecca and offered to have his blood drawn.He was a man of his word.Even though the young woman across from him insisted on being brave, he didn't mind accompanying her.While the

    Albert noticed Wendy's gaze. He subtly loosened his grip on her hand. He then looked into her stubborn eyes and felt a growing sense of helplessness. After a while, his expression softened, and he said gently, "Wendy, I have never thought of you that way. My words and actions might have hurt you earlier. That's because everything was beyond my expectations. I couldn't control myself. I hope you can calm down and talk to me about our situation. Even if you don't want to marry me, shouldn't you consider what's best for Ollie as his mother?"Ollie's mother?Of course, she wanted to care for Oliver as his mother. Every time she saw him sitting alone in the CEO's office, looking obedient and sensible, it broke her heart. She wanted to be there for him.But not everything in life went according to one's desires.She understood that, so she had to suppress her emotions. No one knew how many sleepless nights she had spent thinking about him. She would ponder how he was doing at the

    "I ..."Wendy was still confused. It seemed like she hadn't fully processed all the information.Just as she was about to speak, she saw Rebecca walking toward them from the other end of the corridor. She seemed to be in a rush. It must be about Oliver, but she couldn't shout in the hospital. So, she came in person.Albert also noticed this and decided to interrupt Wendy. "Wendy, take your time to think about it. Let's go check on Ollie first. I won't force you if you don't want to change your mind. But I still hope you can come visit Ollie occasionally so that he knows his mother loves him and cares for him."As Albert finished speaking, Wendy's emotions crumbled. Tears streamed down her eyes uncontrollably. Yet, she couldn't say a word. She could only express everything with her tear-filled eyes.Of course, she was willing to do that.What mother wouldn't want to openly stand by her child? Who would want to spy on their kids from the shadows like a thief, fearing that their u

    Penny's voice came from the phone, and it carried a hint of relief."I have an idea. It's only a breach of contract once. If it happens, I'm not sure who will help me pay my loan.""Sam can!"The words slipped from Rebecca's mouth without much thought.Penny guffawed at the statement. She felt embarrassed after laughing. "Does Mr. Johnson know that you've offered him up on a silver platter?"Rebecca clicked her tongue lightly. "I see you're speaking for my brother now, huh? I remember someone used to complain about how heartless a capitalist like him is."Penny coughed lightly. "Things are different now!"Rebecca understood and didn't comment further. "Then, please bring my brother home quickly. Don't worry about your work. I'm sure Sam will be more than happy to settle it for you."Spending exorbitant amounts to poach people from the previous company was ill-intentioned. Now, this idea was out in the open. What else was there to worry about?As long as Penny said "yes", she b

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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
