"Alex …" Drew couldn't believe that the person who stopped him was Alex!

He stood there, stunned, and even forgot about his own sadness.

He thought, "It's Alex! Alex is talking to me! Mom, I've made it! Alex even said that he'll see me in the next season!"

Alex chuckled when he saw Draw's stunned look. Looking past the top of his head, he stared at the tunnel that led to the competition venue.

Drew's teammates were all there. There stood a girl who looked pretty, and she was as good as anyone who competed in the championship.

Alex retracted his gaze and lowered down his arms. "Your teammates are waiting for you. I hope to see you at the next competition. You are really good! Keep up!"

Drew looked at him as his eyes turned teary.

He didn't care that his former idol was standing in front of him and just bid farewell to Alex before running back to his teammates.

With his towering six-foot height, the sight of him nestling in his coach’s arms brought about a moment of amusement.

    Rebecca hesitated.What Daniel said was right. Even if she were to hang up the phone, David wouldn't blame her for that.After all, she had done such things quite a few times.However, she couldn't always comply with her own desires. She thought it was essential to consider the feelings of people around her.She decided to keep things simple with David and let him know that they could postpone the meeting if there was anything important.However, he had already lost his patience. Amid the noise of the venue, the ringtone fell silent.Rebecca lowered her head as she gazed at the missed call notifications on her phone screen with pursed lips.It seemed fate had decided for her and spared her from indecision.She thought missing the call might be for the best because answering the phone in this noisy environment wouldn't be good.Although David didn't call again, he sent a message.Due to their previous disagreement before leaving Fairport, she would feel awkward if she were to

    Although Daniel's relationship with the Johnson family had somewhat improved, it didn't mean that the Johnson family had completely let go of any resentment toward him.Like a nail driven into a tree trunk, there would still be a mark even if the nail was pulled out. That applied to the complexities of human emotions too.Compared to the others, Daniel had a better friendship with Sam.After all, he had been beaten up by him before. Even if there was resentment, it had been vented.However, when faced with Caleb and the others, a mere indifferent glance from them made him feel a sense of guilt.If he wanted to join the dinner, he needed to ask for her brothers' opinions.Caleb was surprised by Daniel's humble attitude.Over the years, while working with Sam in Fairport, Caleb had run into Daniel quite a few times.Perhaps time had softened some of the hatred. He had received some favors from Daniel in the past few years, so his resentment had faded gradually as time passed.No

  • Yearning for Her Return    Chapter 727 Concern

    David's tone was filled with bitterness as he looked at Daniel standing behind Rebecca like he was being protected. David looked like a boy who got dumped by his girlfriend because she met another cute boy.The thought of this possibility left Rebecca utterly speechless."I am just worried about your health …" Rebecca explained cautiously.However, she felt a pang of guilt when she said these words. Back in Seardale, they used to have road trips to other cities frequently.Besides, due to David's job, spending an entire day driving to shake off pursuers was normal for him. Sometimes, he would even stop and engage in a brawl with those people along the way.It would be normal for Rebecca to feel exhausted after a long drive, but David would not feel anything.As she avoided David's teasing gaze, Rebecca tentatively looked at Caleb. "If you don't mind, would you like to join us at the restaurant?"Although the words were directed at David, the final decision rested with her brothe

    After glancing at him, David smirked disdainfully.Leaning lazily against the back seat, he raised an eyebrow. "Indeed, in four years, I have earned nothing more than the title of a friend. However, I think I am better than you, who spent three years trying to send someone away." He deliberately titled his head so that Daniel, who was driving, could see the disdain in his eyes through the rearview mirror. "What do you think, Daniel?"Daniel remained silent. He pursed his lips as he continued to drive however he wanted.David stopped making mocking remarks as well.They were no better than each other. They intentionally became friends with Rebecca under different "coincidences."They had no idea what awaited them if the mask of pretense were to disappear. What was certain was that there would be no forgiveness according to Rebecca's temperament.That was why David had hastily left his work and rushed here.If she remembered …The thought of this possibility made his head spin.

    The two of them realized something was not right as soon as they entered the dining room. Once the initial shock wore off, it was evident that the two Winston brothers were not to be trifled with. Although David and Daniel were almost the same age as the rest, they were considered veterans and leaders in the business world. They greatly surpassed these young men who only knew how to play games. Not to mention, David had survived all kinds of tough experiences. Even with a smile on his face, his naturally menacing gaze still sent shivers down one's spine. In comparison, even the eldest club members seemed inexperienced. The word "naive" seemed apt enough to describe them.For these young members of the club, the meal was torturing at most. Although the dishes were delicious, the presence of these two formidable figures in the dining room had deterred everyone from behaving in a more casual way. Previously, these players had thought that Alex’s presence was frightening enoug

    As she realized how she felt toward David, Rebecca felt ashamed of herself.This person had been taking care of her for four years. Even if he was just a friend, she should at least be grateful to him. But now... she found herself feeling disgusted toward her benefactor. Was it only because she had been deceived? Rebecca didn't know the answer. The feeling grew stronger as she delved deeper into her thoughts. It even got to the point where she felt an urge to stab him in the heart with a knife. Luckily, she still had some sanity left. Rebecca sat upright on the stone bench. Her gown swayed back and forth in the night breeze. Under the dim yellow light, she looked like a noble lady from a different era. She looked at the stool opposite her where David sat. Since Rebecca had a serious look on her face, David sensed it and hid his gentle smile.Both of them knew very well that the words left unsaid when they parted ways in Fairport had to be said here. Judging by Rebec

    It was silent.The awkward atmosphere filled the air.David’s sharp interpretation of her thoughts had left Rebecca speechless.Any explanations were futile at this point.David didn't rush her for an explanation either.He was still smiling gently. His tall figure was planted in front of Rebecca. He looked at her without saying a word.After a while, Rebecca, who was sitting on the stool, couldn't bear the weight of his deathly gaze anymore and finally spoke. "I'm sorry."Apart from apologies, there was nothing else she could possibly say.She couldn't explain this feeling of annoyance, not even to herself.All she could be certain of was that this feeling of annoyance started to grow when she began to avoid David.It was as if the confession had wiped away the withered grass that covered the truth that was buried deep under.When there was nothing to hide under, the naked emotions were the only things left.There were no other reasons.All she could do was apologize.Th

    "Does it still hurt?" said David. He lowered his gaze and stared at Rebecca for a while. He then said, "In that case, I shall leave first, or else you will have a headache again."Rebecca looked surprised. She looked back at David with confusion.David didn’t seem to have the intention to leave. He continued, "I came here out of the blue today because I thought that you might be tired after the match. I’m more than happy to pick you up and send you back. Who would have thought that I’d give you a headache? I'm truly sorry."He explained the reason why he came to Crechester all of a sudden. His pitiful look made Rebecca feel conflicted about what she did.The annoyance she had felt had mostly been replaced by a feeling of guilt.Rebecca thought that if he continued to behave this way, in the future, they could perhaps be close friends again like they once were.Just as she was thinking, David said gently again, "We have been out here long enough. You should go back now. I'll go

    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
