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

    "It's raining. Why are you still standing there? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"A gentle male voice came from behind them and interrupted their mood to gossip. It wasn't Sam.Rebecca heard the voice and instinctively glanced to her side. She saw a man in a dark-colored suit holding an umbrella.As Rebecca reacted, the black umbrella covered Rebecca's head. The raindrops fell onto the top of the umbrella and created a soft splattering sound.Rebecca took the umbrella from him but couldn't identify what she was feeling. She took the umbrella as if on autopilot and shielded herself and Penny with it. Her beautiful eyes were still on Maxwell. She was staring blankly at him."W-Why are you here?""Why? Are you not happy to see me here, Becca?"Maxwell stood at the foot of the step. His gaze was at eye level with hers. His eyes were warm and twinkling slightly in the cold and misty weather.An umbrella wasn't necessary in this weather. There wasn't much rain; there was only a

    Outsiders didn't know that the evil methods Maxwell used, the ones they gossiped about, were actually tactics he had to employ to survive. He tolerated being used and abused by that horrible father of his before gradually replacing him with himself. He had put in a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get to where he was. However, he was criticized in the gossip as an ungrateful and ruthless brat.Rebecca didn't find a manipulative person scary, as long as they didn't use it on innocent people. She believed that using everything at one's disposal to protect oneself was justified. She considered the people who talked badly behind Maxwell and those who verbally attacked Penny to be of the same kind.This made Rebecca slightly upset with Ryan. "Ryan, I don't wish to argue with you for old time's sake, but you have to stop being so childish each time this happens. Max made some questionable decisions in the past, but it's not up to you to criticize him. Who do you think is providing for

    Daniel woke up two hours later. He went into a dream state under Dr. Anstead's guidance and finally managed to calm down. It was a good dream. In his dream, there was no Jessica, and Rebecca was still the apple of the Brown family's eyes.She was smiling from ear to ear as she followed him around. He liked the way she looked at him, so it was understandable why he didn't want to wake up from his sleep.If Ryan hadn't interrupted him with an emergency, he might've been able to sleep for much longer. Daniel wasn't in a good mood after being forced to wake up and couldn't continue admiring the person in his dreams. He tried to suppress his frustrations. "What's the matter?"Ryan couldn't care less and answered urgently, "That jerk, Maxwell, said that Bex has disappeared, and it's all your fault. Did you hear that? "How could he blame everything on you? I'm worried that Bex disappeared, but she disappeared under their watch. I haven't yelled back at him for this yet!""What did

    Present? Was being abducted a present? If she weren't in her current predicament, she would roll her eyes at David. Alas, she could only suppress her emotions for now. Rebecca wiggled her arms as they started to ache from being tied to the chair. In a hoarse voice, she said, "Mr. Winston, the way you receive your guests is quite peculiar. I believe we could both have a seat and have a chat, couldn't we?"The dark room amplified her voice, and it did the same to David's chilling voice. He dragged a chair over and the sound that made was piercing. It was similar to nails scratching on a chalkboard. The sound stopped and he sat on the chair and commented cheerfully. "Ms. Johnson, you're right, we should take a seat and have a good chat."Rebecca didn't know what to say. She was wondering whether this was what he meant by having a chat. She wiggled her arms in agitation as her wrists were hurting. However, the rope didn't loosen no matter how hard she struggled, instead, it became

    Her vision started to get blurry and Rebecca started to have second thoughts. She bit down on her teeth and tried to fight with whatever strength she could muster, even though she knew it was futile.Just as she thought she was going to die, the grip on her neck loosened, and she was thrown to the side.With the grip on her neck removed, she subconsciously took in a few deep breaths, ignoring the pain in her head from colliding with the floor. She was still tied to the chair and her body was in an awkward position from being hurled with the chair. Her left arm was under her body and when the pain from the weight was transmitted to her brain only did she regain some consciousness.She was still in the same dark environment. Her fingers felt something sticky on the floor and the air carried a slight metallic smell.Suddenly, Rebecca felt chills from her head to her toes, causing her to fully regain consciousness despite the pain. She could even hear the sounds of water dripping ver

    Suddenly, the person who was being hung started to struggle, possibly in response to David's words. Rebecca started to panic as well and tried to stop David. "What do you think you're doing?"David glanced sideways at Rebecca and teased her. "I thought you didn't like the present I prepared. Since you didn't like it, I see no problem with getting rid of it."Rebecca shuddered. She replied in a weak voice, "Mr. Winston, I don't know why you would go so far to give me a present, but let's be honest, Mr. Brown didn't hurt me the most when I was growing up. Even if he was really at fault, it's still not worth you going so far."She could hear his malicious thoughts from his words. He was simply torturing others in her name. So, she continued the conversation from his perspective. If he really took this as a game, he would have to obey the rules he set. Even if he wanted to act wantonly, he would still have to pretend everything was part of the game.Unsurprisingly, he halted in his s

    "Ms. Johnson, you have such beautiful eyes. It would be a pity to let you die just like this." David strangled her with moderate strength. He didn't increase his strength and instead looked down at her like he was watching ants, with pity and sadness in his eyes.His hand roamed from her collarbone to her shoulder. He relaxed his grip and leaned over slightly until his breath was on Rebecca's ear. "How about you beg me to stop, and I won't do anything to you anymore? How does that sound?"He cocked his head to the side and had an evil grin plastered on his face, giving people the creeps. Rebecca looked at him in askance. She had been biting her lip the whole time.She wondered if David wanted her to act weak and cry while begging him, like Jessica, in order for her to live. Regardless of the answer, both options made her mad thinking about it. She used the time David was relaxing his grip to spit at him. "Scram!"She didn't know if it was because she was so mad at him or

    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
