After a while, Caleb couldn't help himself but ask Rebecca what she thought about David.He heard from Sam that Maxwell had told Rebecca everything about David.However, looking at their interaction earlier, it was clear that there wasn't any awkwardness between them.If Rebecca had feelings for David … Merely thinking about the possibility of it made Caleb cringe.For now, the Johnson family thought that it would be better for Rebecca to go back to Daniel than for her to be together with this two-faced madman.He was quite a bad character before. Who knew if he had really changed or if he was just hiding his true intentions?That was why Caleb took the risk and asked Rebecca that question to clear any of his doubts.If Rebecca had feelings for David, he would have to think of a way to get her to forget that thought.If she had no feelings toward him at all, then that was the best-case scenario.As for Caleb's question, Rebecca had made it clear before.When Caleb asked again
However, how could a coat compensate for their four years of friendship?David didn't care about the competition with Caleb at all.Rebecca simply wanted to move back to her own place. There was nothing wrong with that.The news just came too suddenly, but he would be able to accept it eventually. Moreover, when he thought about some other aspects, it made a lot of sense for Rebecca to move back.They weren't officially a married couple. It wouldn't reflect well on them if they kept living together.So, the matter was settled.Rebecca didn't expect it to go so smoothly.She thought it would create distance between her and David once she told him about it.At this moment, her good impression of David became even better. In the video, David was said to be a sinister guy. Now, it seemed like the information came from a rather dubious source. It was either that or that people really could change.Whichever Rebecca chose to believe, David would remain a good guy in her perspect
Caleb had never come across someone quite like this in all his years. Individuals who were ruthless and heartless weren't an uncommon sight. After all, there were many psychologically disturbed people, whether in prison or occasionally portrayed in gripping documentaries or films. However, this was his first encounter with someone so theatrical and dramatic. In the past, if someone had questioned whether stumbling upon a jackal feigning pity and playing the victim was conceivable, Caleb would have emphatically asserted that such a situation was utterly impossible. Now, as he grasped that it was not only possible, but unfolding right before his eyes, all he could articulate was a sense of nausea. He could even understand why Sam often wore perplexed expressions. David truly left them at a loss for words. If Caleb hadn't been naturally courteous and reserved, combined with the fact that he wasn't much of a talker, the scenario might have escalated into a complete spectacle, w
While Daniel playfully teased Rebecca on his phone, a bombshell dropped within the Winston Group. The news spread like wildfire and sent shockwaves throughout the entire Fairport community. Daniel wasn't the last to catch wind of it, but he certainly wasn't the most surprised either. In stark contrast, the key personnel, who had been nurtured by the Winston Group over the past four years, felt a deep sense of injustice on Daniel's behalf upon learning of the new directives issued by Mr. Winston Senior. "What's going through Mr. Winston Senior's mind? We've been under your leadership for so many years. Now, just because the person he ousted years ago is back, he's just handing over all his shares to him. On what basis? What about your hard work? Have you been toiling away for nothing?" "Even those with regular jobs receive a decent salary. But you? A symbolic one-dollar salary each month. Isn't that an egregious injustice?" "Exactly! What does Mr. Winston Senior think of you
Daniel: "It hasn't been too busy. It's just that a few things from this afternoon are bothering me. I ended up feeling a bit irritable. So, I made the choice to skip dinner and stay back at the office. "Eventually, I looked up and unexpectedly caught sight of the breathtaking sunset outside the window, which instantly brightened my mood. "Becca, what do you think of this view? Do you think it's beautiful?" Daniel sent another photo. Compared to the previous one, the sky at this moment was even more vibrant. The sunset was filled with reddish hues. It was indeed beautiful. Even just looking at the photo was breathtaking, let alone seeing it in person. However, this photo confirmed Rebecca's suspicion that Daniel wasn't at GN Jewelries. The reflection showed a different office interior than when she signed the contract in Daniel's office. This one seemed larger and more spacious, but the vibe was colder. It was strictly business-oriented. Becca: "It's beautiful." Becc
"What does that mean?" This time, Sam found himself confused and sought clarification. Rebecca didn't withhold anything and openly shared her speculations with Sam. However, the messages on the phone were certainly not meant for others to see. Regardless of whether Daniel made himself clear or not, they contained his personal thoughts. Rebecca was afraid that sharing them would subject Daniel to mockery from Sam. She didn't want to be perceived as someone who was unable to keep a secret. Hence, she meticulously organized the content of Daniel's messages and provided Sam with a brief explanation. As Sam processed the information, his expression underwent a drastic change. Without wasting a moment, he pulled out his phone and began checking the latest news. Given the magnitude of Mr. Winston Senior officially certifying the shares, it was inconceivable that such a significant event would escape the attention of major news platforms. As expected, by dinnertime, announc
If Rebecca hadn't been mindful of etiquette, she might have bluntly retorted, "You should know better." Fortunately, she maintained a thread of rationality. Considering Daniel's delicate emotional state, she merely sighed lightly, and her pitch-black gaze met Daniel on the video call. "Mr. Winston, if I were to send you a text message, you might question its authenticity and think that someone else might be attempting to cheer you up. But I sent you a voice message. Would you still harbor doubt even after hearing my voice?" Rebecca used a comb to tidy her wet and disheveled hair in front of the vanity mirror. Then, she casually wiped the damp ends with a dry towel. Given the weather, delaying the hair-drying process a bit wouldn't hurt. Daniel chuckled and admitted, "You're right. It was my mistake." It wasn't a lie. His surprise upon hearing Rebecca's voice message was genuine. It felt like a dream, considering all the foolish things he had done in the past. Outside
Daniel's eyebrows raised slightly. His initially casual glance turned intense. Rebecca had bought the suit for him. That explained why David was flaunting it like a proud peacock. A hint of disdain flickered in Daniel's eyes but quickly disappeared. "Becca's taste is naturally excellent," Daniel remarked. David didn't miss the subtle change in Daniel's expression and found great satisfaction in it. His already proud and handsome face now displayed an even more triumphant smile. With a deliberate sigh, David's eyes showed a hint of pity. "It's a shame you don't have this privilege anymore." Daniel looked up, and his profound gaze met David's. David raised his hand as if to pat Daniel's shoulder, but Daniel took a step back. David's arm hung in mid-air, yet he remained unfazed. He gave a sheepish smile and nonchalantly withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened. He had said what needed to be said, and the goal had been achieved. There was no need to further provok
