Chapter 606 Have More Tricks Than the Devil

Author: Fiona Sykes
"That's true." Ryan clicked his tongue. "Still, I've got faith in my family's lunatic. He might not win in other areas, but when it comes to hiding, he's got more tricks than the devil. "

Then again, Maxwell was hiding inside one of the buildings right now, so he might not be as cunning as they thought.

However, they failed to find the person they were looking for even though they knew Maxwell was right there.

This was also the reason why Daniel wasn't sure if David could rescue Rebecca.

Even if David found her, Maxwell still had to give her up.

In conclusion, things were going to be difficult.

The news only reached the Johnsons the next day.

Rebecca messaged Sam the night before, so the others only found out when Sam announced it the next morning.

After hearing that Maxwell was the person who kidnapped Rebecca, the weight on the Johnsons lifted slightly.

They believed she wouldn't be in any danger.

Although they were still very worried about her, the current situati

    Two pairs of eyes looked his way as soon as his words were spoken.How idiotic could those two be to volunteer information on their own?Ryan shrugged. He was completely clean. There was no need for him to continue putting on a show.The other person on the line also began explaining things."It's really not a big deal. I just wanted to let Ryan know that Bex will be fine here with me. I'll take good care of her. I'll make sure she gets back safely once I've settled everything on my side. Please tell him to stop worrying."Stop worrying?Stop worrying my foot!Sam, who had been listening on the sidelines, had almost cursed out loud.How could he stop worrying when his sister was staying alone with a man who had coveted her?But Sam hadn't given it much thought.Even though that man was a scoundrel, Sam could still recall that he was rather polite and respectful toward Becca. At the very least, he wouldn't do anything to her that she didn't want.Despite this, Sam was still f

    "I don't think Becca is so fragile that she can't accept things as they are. On the other hand, I think she has a strong mind. She is definitely stronger than anyone who's there with you now, Mr. Winston."Maxwell's words were spoken with a hint of joy. He had poked mercilessly on Daniel's sore spot."After all, Becca had survived under the hatred of a bigshot like you. You know best what she had to go through while she was alone overseas. Besides, how dare you stop her from learning about her past just because you think it's for her own good?"No one in this world would want to forget their own past. Her past suffering has helped her develop tenacity. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Winston, you've always thought that you're protecting Becca. But how is that any different from deceiving her? How can you be sure that she's happy about being deceived?"If there came a day when she could recall everything herself, would she hate herself for not being able to tell friend from foe?Maxwell unders

    David's once high and mighty expression darkened like coal as someone kicked him out with a broom. The person even yelled a series of curses while shooing him out of the area. It was a rare scene.Ryan, who lived for the drama, instantly looked over. Daniel and Sam were sitting beside him. Even they couldn't help turning their heads to see what was happening. Likewise, everyone's eyes snapped toward the commotion. Nobody could tell what had happened because the commotion occurred a distance away. They could only see David's dimming expression as he was forced to leave. As for why that happened, nobody knew."Let's eat first. We'll find out what happened soon enough," Ryan stated. The food trucks operated through self-service. Ryan grabbed two plates of ham and cheese stuffed mushrooms for Daniel and Sam. Then, he got himself a glass of eggnog, sipped it, and headed off to get some food for himself.Daniel and Sam didn't quite understand what Ryan meant by that. After all, Da

    Meanwhile, David, who shared the same face as Daniel, was in a foul mood. He had rushed back at 4:00 am and didn't sleep after that.The old city had a complicated terrain. As Ryan had guessed, David spent the past two hours scouting the area around the old residential building. He had explored for so long that it felt like he was walking in circles.He had found buildings with patios during this time. Yet, he would always start his search again because he couldn't find the correct entrance. The sky lightened while David continued to search mindlessly. As streams of slight rose from the east, various noises rang out from the corridor.Still, David didn't pay it any mind. His mind remained blank as he continued searching. He only found the empty residential building when morning came, and he no longer needed a torch.There was only one six-story residential building in the old city without an elevator. Despite that, it was still extremely challenging to walk around it on foot. The

    Rebecca didn't dwell on the matter. She glanced at Maxwell, who stood by the door and held the door handle. Then, she pursed her lips and headed out.There was a saying that went, "One shouldn't torment themselves just because things didn't go their way." That captured Rebecca's situation well. Maxwell had imprisoned her, but at least he didn't put her through physical or mental abuse. If there was anything that bothered her, it was that she felt hungry now. However, she was to blame for it, not Maxwell."Let's go. Didn't you say we should have breakfast?" Rebecca said after seeing Maxwell stiffen when she walked past him. Her eyes widened slightly in surprise at him. He didn't expect her to comply without a fight, so he swallowed before humming in approval. He released the door handle, and as he did so, a light breeze carrying the scent of food wafted by. He walked behind Rebecca after that.Rebecca wasn't sure if she was imagining it, but she felt like the man beside her see

    Slight pressure from Rebecca's fork and spoon was enough to cut the puff pastry in two. The meat filling spilled out. Alas, it wasn't the tuna filling that she wanted. Maxwell took her plate of puff pastry away without waiting for her response. He nudged the plate with the uncut puff pastry toward her. "Let's eat," he said before biting into his puff pastry with pork filling. As for Rebecca, who sat opposite him, she stared at the last puff pastry in a daze. She soon realized how intimate she was with Maxwell. It was difficult to imagine her kidnapper would behave so considerately toward her. Although her thoughts were a mess, Rebecca didn't want to waste food. So, she placed the final tuna-filled puff pastry onto a plate and ate it. Perhaps she felt weighed down by many thoughts because the puff pastry didn't taste as good. It took her a while to finish chewing and swallowing it. Rebecca put down her cutlery. That was when the man opposite her stood to clean the dishes.

    The end of the video showed a scene of Rebecca jumping into the sea before a crowd of people four years ago. It included the scene of her looking frail and standing at the dock. A man who struggled to hold onto a floating board was also there. She verbally humiliated that man and even tried using David's powers to teach the man a lesson.Unfortunately, the dock's surveillance cameras had poor video quality and were far from the scene. Because the commotion went on for a long time, one could only get a vague idea of what happened. Even though the video didn't have audio, anyone would've been shocked if they saw the scene. Rebecca was no exception. It shocked her so much that she focused on the screen to see if the woman in the video was her. She also tried to see if the man before her in the video was David. But how could anyone know how to recognize themselves?Not to mention, the video wasn't only a short clip. The surveillance cameras were in various angles and directions. Th

    Maxwell didn't break his promise after lunch was over. He phoned Sam in front of Rebecca and asked him to pick her up.Sam had been waiting with Ryan and the others for a long time in the old residential building. They eventually had lunch at a food truck area downstairs.The dining space seemed shabby, and grease covered some of its tables and chairs. Yet, the smell of the food trucks' food attracted many.Sam and Daniel didn't want to eat there at first. Even sitting in the dining space traumatized them. Yet, since Ryan forced them to sit, they figured they might as well taste the food. Little did they expect the food to taste incredible.They had just finished eating when Maxwell phoned them and told them to collect Rebecca.Sam was surprised by how fast things went. He knew Maxwell's foul temper well and assumed Maxwell would hoard Rebecca. Much to his surprise, Maxwell was returning Rebecca to them so soon.Sam just didn't know how his poor sister was feeling.

    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
