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
Four years later, the annual Golden Tiger Film Festival Awards was planned to be held at Fairport. People claimed that Fairport had a run of good luck recently. They had attracted numerous investors to the city.Setting aside the support for the heavy industry at the port, XR Entertainment from Riverwood suddenly relocated its subsidiary to Fairport. The MRC Group from Rookfort also established a subsidiary company here.Besides these well-established companies, GW, a leading gaming platform for Gen Z, established an esports city club base here. They even built a related theme park. It significantly boosted the already thriving tourism industry in Fairport.Gaming-related companies also followed suit. Many of them relocated to the city and set up an ecological chain. Fairport emerged as one of the fastest-developing cities in the country over the past four years.The Golden Tiger Film Festival Awards featured a star-studded lineup, not only with top-tier figures in the film indus
Penny didn't notice the change in her husband. She sighed lightly and rubbed her belly. "Maybe it's because of this child that I seem to dream of Becca these days …"The incident of Rebecca falling into the ocean four years ago didn't become a taboo topic in the Johnson family. They believed that their little sunshine was alive in another part of the world. Whenever they encountered someone who looked like her, they would go up to clarify, even if the results were always disappointing. They never gave up looking for her and lived their lives as they normally would.If they came across any accessories they felt suited Rebecca, they would buy a set to give her when she returned. They would also prepare presents for her come Christmas Day and for when it was her birthday. However, it had been four years. The presents had accumulated in her room, waiting to be unwrapped.Sam poured a cup of warm water for Penny and replied in a calm voice, "Let's go and have a look later. There's ma
Any onlooker could guess how anxious his face was based on his hurried footsteps.The camera cut to Penny, who was sitting in front of the stage. Penny had a worried look on her face as she stood up, supporting her belly. The way she looked on screen was that of an anxious wife being abandoned by her husband.The comments did a 180-degree turn from the original congratulatory tone."That's so awkward. I got slapped in the face right after wishing them a happy marriage.""Hands down! Can't they finish something before making more drama? I feel like a clown for getting jealous of them. (Grin) (Grin) (Grin)""I feel sorry for the beautiful lady. She's carrying a bun in her oven but the guy went after another woman. How pitiful!""You can attack the guy, but not my Ms. Lowe. She's the best! She wasn't loved by her parents but she managed to earn a living in the entertainment industry. Her husband is a scumbag, yet she received awards for her movies. Focus on your career, Ms. Lowe!
"I didn't get to see her, but I have a feeling … that it was her."His target was gone by the time he ran out. However, he wasn't willing to give up and followed his gut feeling to where it brought him, just like that time when he felt a connection to her among a crowd of people when they were overseas.He had chased after her up till here and suddenly didn't know where he should go next. So, he could only sit here helplessly and pray for God's mercy to let him see his sister one more time.Penny started to feel sore after standing for some time. She took Sam's hand and sat down. In a gentle voice, she said, "Isn't that a good thing? Although you didn't see Becca, at least you got a lead and some news. Maybe it'll be a reunion the next time you meet."She looked up and saw that Sam still had a disappointed look on his face. She squeezed his hand. "It's been four years. It'll be a joyous event the next time you meet. It'll have been a long four years."Sam looked at his wife's gent
"Could you let us have a look at them first?" Sam could recognize the man's accent and decided to converse in the man's native tongue as he wasn't fluent in the local language. Sam's voice sounded like butter. It was so smooth that it could transport its listener to an opera hall where, despite not being able to see the singer's face clearly, just hearing his voice would be enough to astound anyone who listened.Penny, who was used to hearing him speak, finally understood the meaning of having an eargasm. She thought of something and her ears started to flush red with embarrassment. She was lucky that they were too focused on the photographs to look at her."Here's what I captured earlier of you and your missus. It's not a paparazzi shot. Your image gave me so much strength and warmth that I just had to take it. If these pictures can't be published, then I'll print them out and give them to you before deleting the digital copy. If possible, I would like to … ""You don't have to p
