Chapter 504 What Are You Doing

Author: Fiona Sykes
"Crazy bastard?" David surprisingly wasn't angered by this. He had been called many different names — a lunatic, the devil, demented …

Humans were as such. They labeled others with special words when others behaved in ways that defied common understanding.

David didn't see himself as a lunatic. However, he was willing to let it slide if the person labeling him was Rebecca. "So be it. Call me what you, if it makes you feel better."

He let go of her hair, his eyes trained downward. He couldn't tell if his words were for Rebecca or for himself. When he looked up again, all he could see was the same uncaring look, with none of the warmth from the previous day to be seen.

Since she could see through his pretenses, there was no need for him to continue acting. Moreover, he thought it would be better for him to be his usual self. It would make her feel less disgusted, and he would be happier dropping all pretenses anyway.

Rebecca was bewildered. She couldn't figure out the meaning behind

    Rebecca turned her head toward the source of the sound with an innocent expression. Her pale face was scarred red because of the napkins. She looked extremely pitiful in this state.David stopped in his tracks and his expression darkened. Rebecca became more afraid when she saw this. Her mind went blank as she watched David approach her. However, her body leaned back against the chair on its own accord when David stopped in front of her and held out his hand to her. Since there was limited space, there was nowhere for her to hide.David didn't continue. His hand halted in mid-air when he saw her avoid him.Although there was no change in his expression, she could still feel that his mood had worsened. Anyone's mood would turn sour at such a blatant display of disgust, what more the high and mighty Mr. Winston.All this while, he was the one who looked down on others, but never the other way round. Rebecca shuddered at the thought. She opened her mouth and tried to find an excus

    The sun was hanging high in the sky outside the hotel. David's bodyguards who had surrounded Sam and Caleb had left. They even cleaned the puddle of blood on the ground before they left. It was as if this morning's incident never happened. It wasn't long before the brothers were left stranded on the empty road. It was a hot day, but they felt a chill."Sam, what should we do now?" They were unwilling to give up and had been standing there for some time. However, nothing would come about if they continued standing under the sun, and they felt strange not doing anything.Sam pursed his lips as he tried to think of an answer. His eyes were still glued to the semi-transparent thick glass panel. He hoped to catch a glimpse of Rebecca through that glass. However, his rational mind told him that it was impossible. She had followed David into the elevator and the last time he caught sight of her happened too quickly.He sucked in a deep breath and retracted his gaze. "Let's go back to t

    At the hotel, Rebecca quickly finished getting ready. After changing out her clothes, she suddenly had the thought of hiding in the bedroom and not getting out.The confusion that had originally arisen at night had now resurfaced, and it was gradually eating away at her. She looked at her reflection in the mirror, her mind racing.She wasn't sure if it was the mist in the bathroom or if she had cried too much today, but her face had an abnormal flush. She looked pitiable and distressed, especially with her reddened eyes.Rebecca herself didn't realize that this was how she looked to David earlier. She looked so ... Although she didn't remember the past five years and didn't know what she was like during that time, her intuition told her that this wasn't it.She wasn't a wallflower that clung to others or like a bird locked inside a cage. How did she end up like this? This couldn't be it.Was it because David had taken care of her for a month, and so she had already changed to

    Rebecca didn't stay shocked for long. After locking eyes with David, she got up from the couch. She hid all her emotions and asked monotonously, "Since this outfit is too childish for you, what do you think I should wear?"David glanced at her and was about to respond when there was a knock on the door. It was none other than Randy, who had been with them during this time. David didn't like to close doors, and the top floor was usually empty, so the room's door was left open. He just had to turn and see the person at the door.It might have been her imagination, but when Rebecca glanced at Randy, she could feel the hatred in his eyes directed at her. Before she could look closer, Randy had already shifted his gaze.She also retracted her gaze helplessly. Randy was here looking for David, and it seemed like it was serious given his stern tone. "Mr. Winston."Because Rebecca was present, Randy didn't explain further. He just glanced behind him before turning his gaze back to David,

    Rebecca had changed into a red dress. It was a simple spaghetti-strap gown. Even though it was simple, it exuded an elegant and classy aura. Rebecca was also already beautiful. Along with the dress, her charm was accentuated.The green gown she wore for last night's dinner made her look like a woodland fairy. This fiery red dress turned her into a princess who danced on the peaks of a mountain in an enchanted forest. Even without any makeup, she still drew attention to herself.Rebecca seemed to have hastily put on this dress. She didn't even bother to style her hair. She simply took down her ponytail and was now casually running her fingers through it.She saw David standing before her when she pushed the door open. Her tone carried a hint of urgency. "Did I exceed the time limit? Is the outfit too childish? Is this going to embarrass you when we go out?"The restless tone of her voice immediately brought David back to his senses. His dark eyes landed on her beautiful face and he

    Rebecca soon reemerged from the room. She had a good figure, and the blue-and-white dress she put on fit her perfectly. She looked elegant and graceful in it. The puffed sleeves concealed all the scars on her shoulders and arms, leaving no visible signs of them.As she exited the bedroom, she realized Randy was not around anymore. Only David stood near the bar, swirling red wine in his glass.Because of the conversation they had in the bedroom, Rebecca looked displeased. She spoke impatiently, "I'm ready now. Where are we going?"It felt as if she were giving orders to a bodyguard, except she didn't have a specific destination in mind.However, David didn't seem to mind her attitude. He stood up from the stool and stuffed one hand in his pocket. He looked down at Rebecca, metaphorically and literally.He must have been satisfied with her outfit this time. He put down his wine glass and chirped, "I'll take you out for lunch."Rebecca furrowed her brows. She glanced at the nearby d

    "Nothing to be happy about." David repeated her words and chuckled. He raised his gaze. "Ms. Johnson, are you implying that being with me doesn't make you happy?"Wasn't this an obvious fact? Who wouldn't be uneasy being around a lunatic? If they were in medieval times, this man would be a despicable, despotic tyrant. Being around a person like him would surely make anyone uneasy.Moreover, just two hours ago, he had used her brothers and random strangers to threaten her.She could forgive everything else.But Rebecca didn't dare speak her mind around David. She had figured out that he was more lenient if she played along. The more she resisted, the more forceful he would become. On the other hand, if she played her part as he wanted, he might be in a better mood and the issue would pass.Even if Rebecca put on a lousy act, David would still eat it up.Rebecca carefully chose her words. "In my current state, being with you doesn't necessarily make me unhappy. "For instance, t

    "By the way, where's Dr. Collins?" Rebecca suddenly realized that she had nearly finished her meal. David hadn't touched his food at all. She felt embarrassed by her appetite. To divert the conversation, she decided to bring up Randy.David seemed more interested in the restaurant's drinks and had already consumed most of his beverage. Upon hearing her question, he raised his gaze. "What, do you need something from him, Becca?"Since they had arrived in Fairport, the two of them had been going out most of the time. Yesterday's dinner was the only exception when they dined together, which is why Rebecca's mention of Randy was somewhat surprising.Rebecca noticed this too and quickly picked up a piece of fruit from the table to mask her awkwardness. "No, it's nothing important. I just thought of him suddenly. We saw him at the hotel earlier, so I thought he might join us today."David smiled in response and glanced at the mess of dishes in front of Rebecca. "Ms. Johnson, you've almos

    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
