Chapter 616 Take You Home

Author: Fiona Sykes
Of course, that didn't mean the residential building brimmed with lively energy. After all, Maxwell owned the entire residential building. That exemplified how forces controlled places people couldn't see.

The main difference from before was more hope had shined onto Fairport.

Cockroach and maggot-like criminals could still inevitably breed in certain nooks and crannies. Such vermin wouldn't dare carry out unlawful acts in broad daylight. That was an appropriate metaphor for what Maxwell did yesterday. He carried out those horrible acts in the dead of night.

As for Maxwell's family businesses, the businesses' success in Fairport depended on his abilities. Of course, no one was aware of such matters. That included the second heir of the Jenkins family, Ryan.

Rebecca soon departed with Sam and Ryan after taking enough pictures.

Unlike last night when she arrived, there was more smoke in the air now.

Cars with attached tents parked idly by the roadside even though it was already pa

    What kind of feeling was it exactly? David and Ellen had never deprived Rebecca of material comforts during her four years abroad. She could easily have whatever she desired, whether it was food, clothing, or other expenses. Nevertheless, an unsettling thought persisted in her mind: there was a price for everything, and there was no such thing as a free lunch. Consequently, every time she received something from David, she would wonder about the hidden cost or if she had already paid in some way. This feeling gnawed at her. She even turned to the internet in an attempt to comprehend the cause of this sensation. However, she found comments from various people who expressed guilt about asking their parents for money to buy clothes. It was clear that this was not addressing her concern. Rebecca couldn't pinpoint when she first began contemplating buying her own house. Maybe it was after the first time she expressed her feelings to David, which resulted in rejection. Or p

    "Is there a problem?" Nate had already stepped out of the driver's seat. He courteously opened the car door for Rebecca. Instead of rushing Rebecca to step out of the car, Nate stood by the door with a faint smile. He playfully asked, "Or perhaps you find it insufficient, Becca?" "Of course not!" The playful banter left Rebecca wondering if she had seemed overly greedy earlier. She blushed and quickly waved her hands, explaining, "I'm just too shocked!" Rebecca stepped out of the car and took a moment to glance around the neighborhood. Then she said in a soft voice, "I never dared to imagine having my own house before. Now, when you tell me this entire building is mine, it's just a bit overwhelming …" "It's nothing, really. In the end, it's just material possessions," Nate replied casually, leading Rebecca without much ado. Unspoken was the fact that if Rebecca desired, the entire neighborhood could be hers, and even more. The Johnson family was prepared to give her e

    "But ..." Before Rebecca could complete her sentence, Nate once again interrupted her. "Becca, I understand where you're coming from. "Returning the keys to you is our responsibility, and entrusting them back to us demonstrates your trust. Maintaining the status quo isn't an option; we need to evolve from the past." Nate's voice remained composed and measured. It exuded a gentleness yet asserted an authority that rendered it difficult to rebuff. Additionally, he was a man of brevity. He preferred concise communication to convey his points effectively. After delivering his message, Rebecca frowned in perplexity. She said, "I don't get it. How is it different?" Regardless of whether she changed the door code or not, she was still providing them with the new one. The results didn't show any apparent distinction. Confusion contorted Rebecca's face. Nate seemed to understand her thoughts. He couldn't help but curve his lips and negate, "It's different." Rebecca's confusion

    Rebecca looked at the first aid kit Nate handed to her, and a wave of complex emotions surged in her chest. She raised her hand to accept it and bit her lip as she met Nate's eyes directly. "Thank you, Nate," she said in a solemn tone. Although Nate had mentioned multiple times that he didn't like hearing those words, Rebecca still felt the need to express her gratitude, even if it was a small and seemingly insignificant statement. This time, Nate didn't say anything. After handing over the first aid kit, he gently tousled Rebecca's hair and said, "Go ahead." With those words, he turned around, as if staying in the room for a moment longer would be a sign of disrespect to her. After all, a bedroom was considered highly personal territory. Despite being family, apart from one's mother, it wasn't appropriate to overstay in someone else's bedroom, and Nate adhered to this belief. As Rebecca busied herself with her bath, Nate went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. During

    Throughout the day, until she left the hospital, Rebecca had been excited. Whether it was acquiring her own property or engaging in a lengthy chat with Zelda, everything had put her at ease. However, this sense of ease abruptly dissipated as she descended from the inpatient department. Rebecca hadn't anticipated encountering David here, and their eyes locked directly. It seemed David had just come out from a ward as well. He coincidentally arrived from the opposite elevator that opened simultaneously. As Rebecca took a step forward and raised her gaze, she met the well-dressed David on the other side. At that moment, the smile on her face vanished completely. In hindsight, she couldn't pinpoint the reason for her sudden change in demeanor. Similarly, David's countenance didn't look particularly pleasant upon seeing Rebecca. Rebecca was chatting animatedly with Nate just a moment ago, and in the next second, her entire expression became reserved. She acted as if she ha

    Yet, the wind outside was brisk, and the idea of having an extra coat seemed reasonable. Before coming, Nate had reminded Rebecca to bring one. However, she found it troublesome and insisted it was just a short distance from the hospital to the car, so it wouldn't be necessary. Nate, after some consideration, agreed with Rebecca's reasoning. Little did they anticipate that running into David would cause an unexpected delay. Moreover, David had draped his coat over her shoulders, which made the idea of removing it in front of him appear disrespectful. Despite harboring some resentment toward David, Rebecca hadn't completely severed all ties with him. She sighed softly while tolerating the lingering smell of tobacco on the coat. She adjusted the ill-fitting areas and then looked back at David. "I wasn't aware that Maxwell would release me so easily. He showed me some things. Then, he informed Sam and the others. Coincidentally, they were all downstairs, so I just followed t

    "Shall we go?" Nate's eyes fell on the coat draped over Rebecca's shoulders. His strides halted as he posed the question. Although Rebecca was perplexed, she replied, "Of course. Why linger in the hospital? Are we savoring the breeze or what?" Nate chuckled. "I thought you were leaving with him, and you just swung by to give me a heads up." As he spoke, a hint of self-deprecation flickered in his dark eyes. On his way to pick up Rebecca from the old city, Nate already had a rough idea about what had happened at Maxwell's place. While Maxwell hadn't explicitly spilled the details, the morning call to Sam spoke volumes. It all revolved around the preceding events. Rebecca's safe release signified that Maxwell's mission was accomplished. Yet, Nate observed Rebecca engaging in conversation with David as if nothing significant had occurred. Their interaction flowed as if they were ordinary friends catching up. It seemed Maxwell's plan had fallen short, and the recordings

    The car abruptly came to a halt, which caught Rebecca off guard. Her body lurched forward due to the sudden inertia, but fortunately, the seatbelt pulled her back. "I'm sorry," Nate apologized immediately after realizing his impulsive behavior. "I couldn't control my emotions just now. It was my fault." For someone who spent day and night in the lab, dealing with mundane data, such an emotional outburst was a rare sight. It was not just Rebecca; even Nate himself felt a mix of disbelief and regret. Fortunately, the road was smooth. There weren't many vehicles around, and they happened to be at a red light intersection. So, there was no danger involved. Otherwise, he would be held responsible for any consequences. "It's okay, Nate," Rebecca reassured him. Her gaze shifted to the red light at the intersection as she calmed down. She waved her hand in response to Nate's apology. Perhaps Rebecca could understand the frustration Nate felt. After all, those things she could

    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
