Yearning for Her Return Chapter 712 Do You Think You're Worthy?
Hearing that, Alex remained silent.He tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. It was a sign of his extreme impatience. Those who knew him well were familiar with it.After Simon spoke, another silence fell in the preparation room.After a while, the kind-hearted Terry said, "Captain, why not give Simon another chance? It's a best-of-five game. We still have a chance."Alex still didn't respond. But his finger, which had been tapping on the table, paused briefly at Terry's words. Then it resumed its rhythmic tapping.The other team members didn't speak up, and they did not refute Terry's suggestion either.In a sense, although Simon's actions were outrageous, at this critical moment, there was no suitable substitute to replace him.After all, even during the playoffs' training matches, it was these four members. Substitutes rarely got a chance to play.In the regular season, substitutions were only made during entertainment matches for training purposes.Currently, with
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 713 He Went Too Far
"Captain, if I remember correctly, you were the one who said that after finishing one game, forget about it and focus wholeheartedly on the next one. But now you want me to analyze the previous rounds. Isn't that too much?" Simon retorted stubbornly.He didn't mind being replaced. After all, with Alexia, who hadn't played many matches, the outcome of the game was uncertain. Maybe they would even lose faster.By then, he could play the victim card again and claim that they lost the third round because Alex didn't let him play. He might even manage to whitewash the losses in the first two rounds.After all, Simon's stats were there. His regular season performance couldn't be denied because of these two rounds.Once this season ended, he planned to apply for a transfer. He could probably fetch a good price.The only uncertainty was whether Alex would beg him to stay. After all, Simon was a big shot in the club.Without him, they would have to rely on those young kids who had just co
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 714 Last-Minute Substitution
Unfortunately, what awaited Simon was completely different from what he had imagined.First came a scoff, followed by the disdainful voice of the young players."What's with the fragile ego? Isn't AlmightyAlex right? He funds this club. He pays our salaries, buys us a villa for training, and even covers meals."When we signed contracts with CalX, weren't we essentially working for the club to win championships? You're already in your twenties. How can you not understand this? What an—"The young player swallowed the curse.After all, they were teammates, and using a curse might not be the most polite choice.Moreover, Simon was a senior member of the team. If others heard him being called an idiot, it wouldn't be nice.So, the young player kept the last word to himself.Simon's face turned sour. "Aren't you here to win the championship?"The young players didn't deny it. They nodded and said, "Yes, we're here for the championships, but we also have to be aware of the situation
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 715 Funny Face
Seeing his funny face, Rebecca couldn't help but smile.After all, no one hated cute creatures, including the naughty cutie.For someone as old as her, she liked such a lively child.Although she was more than a few years older than Alexia, she believed no one could resist such a cute boy!CalX fans were pleased too.She heard laughter from the back row. Of course, there were also a few words of concern."I don't know Alexia's strength, but he is so cute! We can look forward to him!""His performance in the regular season is stable. I wonder if he'll be nervous in the playoffs. I hope he can perform well.""I feel at ease. After experiencing the first two rounds, I can accept any loss. No matter what happens, Alexia won't be like Simon. No matter who it is, it's much better than Simon!""Yes, I hope this boy can be calm and keep steady to fight. Anyway, I'm already giving up. I'll be fine even if CalX loses. It's also good to see SUN win the championship."Rebecca listened to
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 716 Make Great Efforts Together
After this round, it was clear that the expressions of the four players on the stage had improved.Even the young man who had scolded Simon also smiled. He happily walked to the captain and left the stage chatting.Of course, they didn't forget Alexia, the clutch player in this round.It was his first time sitting in the finals. He sat on the chair until the referee came over and asked him to leave.His teammates were waiting for him at the steps. He trotted over while interacting with the audience. He kept waving and blowing kisses.There were endless cheers and screams.The youngest player ran to his teammates. They hugged each other and retreated backstage.In the preparation room backstage, both teams could see this from their room screens.It was even more surprising and touching that the four CalX players didn't rush back to their preparation room. Instead, they waited in the passage behind the scenes for a while. When the Flashfocus players appeared, they greeted them wi
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 717 Fight Boldly
No one in the team paid attention to Simon. They had no time to do so.With the current score, whether it was the big round or small score, CalX was at a disadvantage.They had to figure out how to win the next two rounds.Judging from regular season experience, CalX had an advantage in the later stages.This was because the closer they got to the later stage, the more heroic characters were banned. The competition was about how many skilled heroes the players had.From the experience of previous games, no matter which camp the CalX players were in, their skilled system lineup and heroes were superior to other teams. After all, there were many people on their team. CalX had the most people in the entire league, with a starting lineup team and a substitute team.The starting lineup of other people's teams was the main force, and the substitute was to replace any player who was in poor health.In normal training matches, the substitute player could replace the position if the play

"Oh my God! I've never been this nervous! Look at my heart rate monitor. It's already 160! The match hasn't even started yet!""Don't worry. If it breaks 200, I'll call an ambulance for you.""Can't you hope that I'll get better? I hope the team I support will play well. Don't let me end up in the ICU!"Scattered voices from the back row were cute and funny.Rebecca wasn't that nervous.After watching the last game, she became much calmer.Anyone could see that the last game was the real level of the players on both sides.It didn't mean that Flashfocus played poorly.After an actor-like player on CalX's side left, the players showed their true abilities. The game became much better to watch.The audience always looked forward to a showdown between two strong teams.Rebecca had a peaceful attitude toward the subsequent competition. She thought both teams deserved the victory if they maintained this level. That was why she wasn't nervous.There were people on both teams that
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 719 Guys, I'll Make a Great Effort
Yet, it didn't go as expected.Drew took an outdated version of the hero to fight the current version. If he wanted to win, he could only hope for a miracle. Or he could hope that his opponents were of a lower level.There weren't many miracles in this world.If a miracle happened and he won, CalX's efforts would be useless.They also studied new playing styles, worked hard to train new lineups, and changed themselves to adapt to another version.It was cruel. When everyone was working hard, hard work wasn't worth mentioning.In this round, Flashfocus lost. It was 5:0.Drew lost the advantage the team gained in the second round.The old hero, who had been with him for many years, couldn't keep up.CalX's players were excited, while Drew was sad.He lowered his head as if he didn't want the camera to capture his sadness. Then, he walked off the stage quickly.CalX's players also noticed his state. Thinking of their state in the first two rounds, they didn't know whether they

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

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
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1061 Better
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
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
