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
"I was the one who got slapped. I didn't even say anything, so why are you crying?" Daniel asked. With a smile, he put his finger on his lips, saying, "Are you okay in the head, Rebecca? Huh?""Let go of me!" Rebecca choked out, struggling with all her might.She was the one who had slapped him, but she didn't regret it at all. If she could turn back time, she would have done it again.Right now, Daniel was as cocky as ever. "I'm not going to do that. What if you hit me again?"Instead of letting go, he closed the distance between them. Now that they were closer, Rebecca could see his slightly reddened cheek, courtesy of her slap. She couldn't back away. In front of the private room were streams of water with rockery, and the stones were touching her ankles.She had no choice but to try and break free from Daniel's clutches. "Let me go, Daniel!"In retaliation, his grip tightened instead. His grip wasn't too hard that he would hurt her, but she couldn't easily break free from his
"You're absolutely right," Rebecca said. She had long lost her patience with this woman.A nobody like her kept butting into other people's business. Even Jessica hadn't said a single word throughout this ordeal. "Go get your salary from the finance officer. I don't want to see you ever again," ordered Rebecca. Initially, she wanted to avoid interfering with the staffing issues here, but keeping a person like this around would be a disaster. She sent the waitress' employee number to Markus. The waitress retorted, "Do you really think you call the shots around here? You're just a little close to Chef Flanney…"Before she could finish her words, she heard a voice from her headset. She froze in place as she looked at Rebecca in shock.Rebecca even gave way for her, clearly gesturing for her to leave.However, the woman still didn't believe her and stubbornly remained in place. She said, "I'm not leaving. There's no way you can fire me with just your word alone."She came here loo
Daniel's expression darkened immediately.Markus had been rude to him ever since they met. He had only asked him about Rebecca, yet the man bluntly told him to divorce her. Besides, he was clearly being sarcastic when he said that he and Jessica were meant for each other.However, not everyone noticed the sarcasm in Markus' tone. Jessica was all smiles. Markus' words touched her heart. She wanted Daniel and Rebecca to get a divorce as soon as possible too. She didn't have any time to waste. She thought that she was meant for Daniel as well. This man was hers from the start. Rebecca wouldn't have met Daniel if the Browns hadn't picked her up. No one could go from rags to riches. No one.Jessica thanked Markus shyly, "Thank you, Chef Flanney. I'm so sorry for upsetting you back then. I hope you won't take it to heart. When the time comes, you can join the fun at my wedding with Dan if you're free."Markus narrowed his eyes at her words. He wondered if she was really stupid or just pr
