Yearning for Her Return Chapter 684 Both Your Pasts
"Thanks, you two. Good luck with the competition tomorrow!" The pretty woman retracted her handheld tripod. Then, she shook hands with Caleb and Rebecca while thanking them. Then, she handed a fan-made postcard to Caleb and asked for his autograph.Several people lined up behind her then.Rebecca leaned in for a closer look when Caleb accepted the postcard. She glanced up to see Caleb staring down at her. She giggled and said, "Don't mind me. I'll just take a peek from here."Caleb didn't call her out. Instead, he lightly chuckled before signing the postcard. Naturally, Caleb didn't sign with Alex's name or his own. The autograph he left on the postcard was Alex's username, AlmightyAlex.He signed the initials with speed and familiarity. It was like he had lived through all the past competitions. Caleb acted like he was Alex and had experienced the latter's highs and lows.After signing several postcards, Caleb politely declined the other fans' autograph requests.The fans didn't
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 685 Their Past
Alex and Caleb had a more successful start than most Esports athletes. At the very least, their parents didn't think being a professional gamer was a waste of time or an improper job. Their parents, Felicia and Dante, sometimes also joined the two in playing games.Still, Alex and Caleb were proud young men who refused to rely on their parents' help. So, they chose to start their careers from the ground up. They hid their real names and used the money from their part-time jobs to travel to a city with Esports clubs.There weren't any rules stating that teenagers couldn't compete in Esports back then. So, the rebellious Alex brought Caleb along as they signed up for training camp.Alex, the older brother, was overjoyed that he was selected to join a decently famous Esports club. He didn't even read the contract in detail before signing it. The brothers only learned the truth after getting fooled. It turned out that the club was an unrecognized one. The club's boss had paid money to
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 686 We Could Have Won
Even now, Alex couldn't understand how his seniors could utter such blatant words.He had just entered the professional leagues and hadn't tried battling in-game yet. He greatly anticipated the Esports competition. He only thought about how to win against others in the competition arena and the joy of winning. Achieving those meant he wasn't a loser who depended on his family for a living.Yet, his senior teammates asked him to surrender to life and enjoy doing the bare minimum.He only understood why his seniors felt that way after several years. It wasn't that they didn't want to win. Instead, they lost their spark after experiencing multiple defeats. They gave up on trying and even felt tired by the thought of putting in effort.One's morale could diminish after several setbacks. At the same time, one's desire to slack off would grow. Alex only understood that after losing several competitions. The one thing that set him apart from them was he never went down the path he des
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 687 Luck
Alex decided to make things clear during the team-building time on Monday.Although everyone was usually in the club, it was impossible to get everyone in the same room. A few members gamed upstairs, while others did so on the villa's balcony. Some used the training room to play different games than the one used for competitions. Or they'd host livestreams and receive monetary gifts through Super Chats. Some people lounged in random places while phoning their girlfriends.Monday was a rest day, so the club members usually headed out for the day. That said, the manager would take everyone out for a meal on the first Monday of every month. Everyone was free to take a break after the meal. Those whose homes were near the villa could return home. Meanwhile, those whose homes were further could lounge in the club. They could also visit their girlfriends for the day.The entire team was only present during that meal. Otherwise, not everyone would show up for regular mealtimes in the v
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 688 Bravery
That meal went by uneventfully.To be more specific, it was uneventful for Alex alone. He had gotten excluded, and nobody paid him any attention anymore. His teammates ignored him as they chowed down on the feast. It was like he didn't exist in that space.Compared to the treatment he got when he first arrived at the club, this was more like waking up from a dream. Even so, Alex didn't feel frustrated or unsure about what to do. Instead, he stuck to his plans and strove for his goals after returning from the meal.At that point, Alex had become invisible to the other members. They only interacted with him when necessary. He planned to continue this competition season. After that ended, he would ask about other clubs' goals. Alex figured that clubs might want him for his experience and capabilities in the game arena.Alex's team continued to lose. The comments online expressed it was a pity that Alex's teammates didn't operate with his formidable strategy. Some people even ridic
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 689 Naive
"If no clubs want me, can I buy out my own work contract?" Alex's goal was crystal clear. He liked the thrill of competing against his opponents in the game arena. So, he didn't mind quitting for a year and returning to continue his Esports career afterward.He liked the competitions and enjoyed the audience's cheers whenever he won. Above all, he loved how he felt after winning a game.Since Alex's team in KIL wanted a comfortable life, he planned to leave and join a more driven team that strove for victory. It was his career path, so he called the shots. He needed to break himself out of this predicament he had put himself into.The chubby manager's eyes widened in sheer disbelief and surprise. It was like he had heard the most bizarre statement. He looked at the youthful and naive Alex, whose features hardened sternly. Even so, the manager didn't believe Alex could do it. He chuckled. "You want to buy out your work contract? How much money do you have? Do you plan to use your r
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 690 We Were Just Fortunate
"What happened next?" Rebecca became invested as Caleb talked about his and Alex's past. She couldn't help wanting to travel back in time and slap that chubby manager. She found the manager vile for trying to con a teenager like that. Rebecca believed people should do the right thing regardless of what path they had chosen in life. So what if Alex's club was unwilling to win and only wanted to do the bare minimum in competitions? They had no right to prevent Alex from achieving his dreams. It wasn't like Alex owed them anything. Likewise, Alex's team shouldn't have interfered with Alex. He had only entered the professional Esports competition to chase his dreams.Although Rebecca had only watched the competition for two days, she had witnessed plenty of intense battles. She hadn't played games before but could tell how the players used every method to score points in the game arena.She recalled the previous round. The other team playing against Blindstrike was helpless since t
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 691 One Should Not Feel Embarrassed
"Fortunate?""Yeah. We had the money and guts to establish our club because we were fortunate," Caleb answered. He learned his parents' company had bought his and Alex's half-completed game after he enrolled in college. On top of that, their father, Dante, modified the game and made it more seamless.Dante returned the game to the two during the summer vacation after their college entrance exams. After that, Alex and Caleb successfully developed the game. It later became a hit and brought them a lot of money.Alex and Caleb got their game, which they'd poured their souls into, back because they were fortunate. It was also because of their luck that they succeeded in earning money.Since then, Alex and Caleb no longer denied their status as wealthy heirs. They began accepting their family's sincere aid. After all, one shouldn't feel embarrassed for getting help from their parents.Their parents would never feel ashamed of them, even if they turned out to be failures. The same cou

Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1065 Final
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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1064 End It
"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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1063 No Need to Bother
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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1062 Enough
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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1060 Resilient
"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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1059 Helpless
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. Th
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1058 Excuses
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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1057 Despised
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
