Chapter 541 A Complete Joke

Author: Fiona Sykes
The waves splashed.

It crashed against the floating boardwalk under the night sky. It was as if a monster was lurking in the boundless sea.

The woman who had jumped into the water just a moment ago disappeared swiftly beneath the deep and dark sea.

The people on the floating platform were left dumbfounded, especially Dexter.

After hearing a loud cry, he opened his eyes. Realizing he was still on the boardwalk, he couldn't regain his senses for a while.

The chaos around him grew louder.

The sea waves slapped his face and woke him up from his fearful state.

He wiped his face with his hand and stood up with the support of his arms. He retreated to the back of the crowd and watched the commotion in disbelief.

The once arrogant David was now in a state of panic. Desperate, he almost jumped after Rebecca.

However, his black-suited bodyguards blocked his way. They forced him to remain on the platform.

Several other men in suits jumped into the water to search for the missing woman

    The undercurrents surged.The waves swept the people in the water deeper into the sea.Some were searching for that woman with a pale complexion, while some focused on finding their boss. They feared David might encounter even the slightest trouble in the water.Others were observing the situation on the boardwalk and relaying information to those in the water.Of course, the young lady at the heart of all this was unaware of the chaos unfolding.The salty seawater surrounded her like spider webs.Yet, she dared not swim to the surface as she might expose herself. She plunged deep into the water and swam until her body reached its limits. Then, she emerged for a breath before diving again.People said you would never know your limits until you push yourself to them. Rebecca never believed in such motivational speeches. However, these seemingly cliché words motivated her at this very moment.She kept repeating to herself that she could do it and kept swimming until she was compl

    Rebecca was shocked.Still in a daze, she delivered a powerful kick toward a certain direction in the water.But the water resistance was too strong, and the hand that gripped her was unyielding. The person forcibly pulled her back under the sea.Caught off guard, Rebecca once again sank into the seawater.The bitter taste of the ocean filled her mouth and nose. The man trapped her in his embrace with his muscular body.Soon after, he emerged from the water's surface and pulled her along.The boardwalk swayed.Rebecca tried to calm herself down. When she saw the man's familiar face, her first instinct was to dive back underwater.However, the man's grip was too strong for her to escape. She struggled in the water. She was hoping to break free using buoyancy like a trapped fish.Of course, David wouldn't allow that to happen.He stared intently at the woman with bloodshot eyes.She was still sick and had just vomited after exiting the car earlier. Yet, she risked her life a

    Afraid of losing her?Rebecca found his explanation utterly ironic.She had no intention of arguing with him further. After all, she knew he wouldn't listen.She tried to break free from his grip.But the man was too strong. Moreover, her body was worn out by the exhausting escape.She found herself immobilized whenever David increased his pressure even the slightest bit. There was no way she could break loose from his grip."You don't believe me?"David's eyes darkened as he noticed Rebecca resisting underwater. He stared at her with a warning gaze.At this point, Rebecca saw no need to continue acting. She chuckled coldly and fearlessly met David's gaze."How can I trust you after all the times you lied to me?"Not to mention, he had those horrifying surgeries planned for her. Who would be responsible if she really got turned into a fool?She couldn't entrust her fate to someone who treated everyday life like a game.Rebecca had tried to escape once. Now, David couldn't

    Rebecca was mad!David was aghast when he realized Rebecca was serious. She was really willing to risk her life to escape."Rebecca, get up here!" He grabbed her delicate wrist tightly and tried to pull her out of the deep sea.They were drifting deeper into the boundless sea. They were getting farther from the light on the shore.From afar, they looked like a lone goose flying further and further away from the flock.Rebecca's body was half-submerged in the water. She swayed along with the waves and ignored the man trying to pull her out.She thought he couldn't pull her up since he was alone.The floating board would not hold steady for long. David might end up falling alongside her if he was too aggressive.The high and mighty David would never allow himself to fall into the deep sea with her.Rebecca smiled and watched the man trying to pull her up, who was desperately biting his lip. She felt a wave of relief washing over her."David, let me go. Leave my life in the ha

    The sea was calm.Moonlight shone on the water and created a shimmering reflection. The board wandered aimlessly on the endless sea.The person on that board seemed petrified under the moonlight. Like a statue, he knelt at the edge of the board and didn't move an inch.It was as if there was nothing left in this world that was worth a glance. Gazing at the deep sea, David resembled the legendary Amah Rock. He was frozen.Nobody knew what he was thinking.Was he regretting the lies he had told from the beginning or reflecting on the scars he had inflicted on her?Was he feeling sorry for not pulling her up immediately or perhaps finding solace in letting her go?No matter what, the fact remained unchanged—she was gone.Was he wrong? Maybe.But if he were given a chance to choose again, he would probably make the same choice. Before David met Rebecca, she was merely a stranger to him. The scars he had inflicted on her back then were seen as his accomplishments and a means to

    Albert thought he had heard it wrong when he received Sam's call in Rookfort.How could Rebecca possibly fall into the sea?However, the extended silence on the other end of the phone and Sam's solemn tone proved that he hadn't misheard anything.Although he didn't know the entire story, the fact remained unchanged.Rebecca fell into the sea and was still missing."What exactly happened?"After all, Albert was the eldest among his siblings. Despite feeling anxious, he remained composed.Sam's voice was hoarse as he recounted the whole incident to Albert.In fact, he had only received the news early this morning.Last night, he and Caleb had waited for Rebecca at a private airport in the western suburbs, as indicated by the note she had left.However, she didn't show up even though they waited until late at night.The Jenkinses were the first to receive the news of Randy's return from the Collins. They said that apart from his hands, there was hardly any spot on his body left

    Upon hearing Daniel's response, Ryan fell speechless.They had been searching for three days. If there were any signs of Rebecca, they should have found her near the shore a long time ago.Even though he didn't want to give up on Rebecca, he knew they had to face reality. It didn't make sense to say things that defied the evidence in front of them.Seeing Daniel's reaction, Ryan couldn't bear to shatter his hopes.So, he kept quiet.Daniel shifted his gaze back to the deep sea and watched as a school of fish leaped out of the water. They created a graceful arc under the moonlight.His eyes flashed, and his lips moved. However, no one knew if he was talking to Ryan or muttering to himself."I've survived death twice. She's suffered so much during the previous half of her life. The future must hold good fortune for her. She should be able to stay safe out on the ocean."If he could, he would pray to the heavens and trade the remaining years of his life for her safety. All he wa

    Perhaps Darren didn't believe David would die just like that, too. He hoped someone could look for him.He might have ended up in a nearby village, somewhere on the island, or in a hospital ...All in all, he didn't want to give up so easily."Alright, here's the plan. I'll inform the people over there, and you'll take over them in the future. I'll let Richard accompany you for now and ask him to introduce you to the people there. You don't have to rush back to Clarkdale. Once you're familiar with things there, you can send Richard back," Darren instructed. He seemed concerned that the people in Fairport would take advantage of Daniel since he wasn't familiar with this place. Hence, he advised, "Make sure you bring Richard with you for the first few days. Not everyone there will recognize you, and don't hold back when it's necessary to take action. Some of these people are like dogs. Once you've shown them who's the boss, they'll listen. Call me if there are any problems you can't

    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
