That was Ethan Somner. Even from a long distance, Daniel could still recognize the man Rebecca was hugging. After all, Ethan was an actor with the title of best male actor; he was a well-known star. Of course, Daniel knew him. Besides, this big star had trouble with Winston Jewelries two years ago. Originally, Ethan was supposed to endorse Winston Jewelries, but he requested to terminate his contract two years ago. He would rather pay liquidated damages than continue the endorsement. He was very stubborn. No matter how everyone tried to convince him otherwise, he still demanded to terminate the contract.Ethan had been in the industry for many years but kept it low-key. Except during the promotion of his work, he never showed up anywhere else. No one could even find information about his parents on the internet, and many of Ethan's loyal fans caused a lot of trouble when he terminated the endorsement, damaging Winston Group's reputation."I didn't expect Rebecca to know a big star
"Daniel? Why would he …" Rebecca frowned, regretting speaking up for Daniel at the first moment."Who else would it be if not him?" Sam was somewhat unhappy, his expression dark. He put away the first aid kit after applying medicine to Caleb's wounds.Knowing she said something wrong, Rebecca apologized, "I'm sorry, Sam, Caleb. I didn't mean to speak up for Daniel. I just …" She didn't know why she defended Daniel. It was likely because they grew up together and Rebecca understood him. He wasn't someone who would pull tricks behind people's backs. When he told her he didn't send anyone to follow her abroad, she felt he was telling the truth. But even if he wasn't directly involved in this, she wanted to get even with him. She couldn't forgive him. Although he said he didn't lay a finger on her, her brothers ended up getting attacked just now. There was no way she could excuse Daniel so easily. That bastard was extremely hostile toward her brothers.However, no one blamed her for
"N-No. Of course n—" Jessica was silenced before she could finish her words.The man held her neck, his grip tightening slowly. His smile grew wider when he saw her face becoming red from suffocation. She looked at the man in horror, frantically hitting his arm to free herself from his grasp. Unfortunately, the man didn't budge. He only let Jessica go when her struggles became weaker."Rebecca is just that capable of escaping from my grasp. Regardless of whether I succeed, you're in no position to tell me what to do. Do you think that men will do whatever you want just because you offer yourself to them?" said the man while giving a scornful glare to Jessica, who was gasping for breath. He wasn't an idiot like Daniel!"Why are you helping me, then?" Jessica asked. She was curled up on the bed, trembling non-stop. This man was fine before, and he always gave her what she wanted. Why was he mistreating her all of a sudden?"Maybe I'm doing so out of boredom." The man tilted his head,
Noticing who was at the door, Daniel frowned slightly. "Sure."Jessica walked into the office after getting permission. She asked, "What are you guys talking about?"Ryan ignored her and rubbed his nose. He said to Daniel, "I'm leaving. I don't have anything to do here anyway."He didn't like Jessica, who came into their lives much later. Rebecca was the one who grew up with him. Later on, when Jessica returned, he went abroad, so he didn't know Jessica very well. He wasn't sure if she overheard their conversation. Although Jessica said nothing, Ryan felt guilty for talking behind someone's back.Daniel let him leave and ordered, "Remember what I told you.""I got it. I haven't forgotten." Ryan waved goodbye to Daniel, not sparing a glance at Jessica when he brushed past her. Hence, he didn't notice the trace of resentment in her eyes.After Ryan left, only Daniel and Jessica were left in the office. Jessica walked over to Daniel with a smile, keeping a reasonable distance so as
Rebecca didn't even raise her head at his question. She was focused on making final adjustments to the plating. She said, "What's the point of driving them away? They're paying us for food. It's stupid not to let them in."The Four Seasons VIP card was equivalent to the cost of booking a table in advance. It cost a small fortune. Since Daniel didn't mind eating here, who were they to drive away a golden goose like him? Besides, Riverwood was the Winstons' territory. Even if she had a grudge against Daniel, she shouldn't let that grudge affect her job. She couldn't let innocent people suffer the consequences if she offended him.Initially, Markus was filled with anger. He knew it was bad luck for Daniel and Jessica to be here, and he didn't want to let them in. But now, he thought that Rebecca had a point. He said, "Fine, we'll let him in, but we'll hike our prices just for him."Markus wanted to see Daniel suffer. After all, they didn't suffer from what happened last time. Inste
Taking the opportunity, the waitress said, "Mr. Winston didn't order using the menu. The first two dishes were good, so he wanted me to serve two more from the same chef.""So, you're saying you just ignored the other customers and you brought the food here to please Mr. Winston, the person you've set your sights on." Rebecca scoffed as she looked coldly at the waitress beside her. "You're being harsh!" the waitress retorted. It was terrible for Rebecca to expose her plan right in front of Daniel.Rebecca sneered. She couldn't bring herself to care anymore. Speaking the truth out loud was equivalent to painting a target on herself. If she said anything more, she wouldn't be safe.She held the bowl of stew with one hand and grabbed the dish the waitress had with the other. Her movements were so fast and steady that the waitress couldn't react in time!Ignoring the waitress' protest, Rebecca looked at Daniel calmly, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Winston. These two dishes were ordered bef
Immediately afterward, everyone at the dining table checked their phones. News about Ethan and Rebecca had spread like wildfire throughout the internet, probably because it involved Ethan. It wasn't only on media news websites but even showed up on unrelated websites.The headlines made everyone at the table frown."Movie Star Ethan Somner Becomes a Homewrecker!""The Browns' Adopted Daughter's Surprising Affair!""Adopted Daughter Gets Kicked Out by the Brown Family!""Rebecca Brown and Daniel Winston's Divorce!"…The trending search entries were filled with Rebecca's name. The website even lagged as Rebecca scrolled through the article she was on. Even so, she could figure out the gist of the article. There was even a video attached to it.Although the video was a bit blurry and watermarked by the media, it was possible to recognize the two people embracing each other. Fans would definitely recognize Ethan, who had been in showbiz for ten years. Furthermore, Rebecca wasn't e
The announcement was posted along with a DNA test report, setting off a significant public discourse.Ethan was capable, so he didn't need any assistance from the people in Sam's company. As soon as the announcement was posted, his name went straight to the top of the trending list. Not only that, Daniel and Rebecca trended on the internet as well.However, Rebecca wasn't aware of any of this. After she left the private room, she walked straight to Daniel's private room. She was enraged at Daniel for posting the video of her and Ethan on the internet. She didn't even expose his affair with Jessica. He was the one who was guilty of infidelity. He didn't have any right to attack her like this. She was beating herself up for defending him last night. She was foolish. He wasn't the Daniel from before. The man she fell in love with was already gone."Well, if it isn't the cheating fake heiress who the Browns kicked out. Once a deadbeat, always a deadbeat! It turns out that you can't go
