Yearning for Her Return Chapter 747 Annoyed to Death
Rebecca started laughing at once, and her pretty face looked even brighter. She shook her head. "I wouldn't dare. You're my boss, after all. I can't be impolite. If Sam found out, he would scold me for sure."Daniel looked up at her, and when he saw her smiling, he felt that it didn't seem that important anymore. It was just a term of address. She could do whatever she liked if she could continue smiling like this. Daniel did not linger on the subject. He picked up his drink and took a sip before asking in a low voice, "Becca, what plans do you have for this afternoon?"From what Caleb had said just now, it seemed as if the brothers would not have time to accompany her. If she wanted to go out, he felt that he could go with her. Rebecca thought for a moment and looked at the interior of the hotel. "I was planning to rest today since my brothers are busy. I plan to go and rest upstairs first, then come and sit here for a while."The hotel decor was very nice, and there was
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 748 Is It That Bad?
"Is it that bad?"At that moment, the players from both clubs were gathered in the administrative corridor. There were a lot of people, but it was a big space. Everyone huddled together in groups, and their voices carried over the crowd. The young player approached the teammate who had spoken earlier and began listening keenly. "This kind of thing won't have anything to do with us. We're just trying to compete well, and we haven't done anything. “Besides, yesterday's competition was pretty exciting. CalX club was as strong as they always are in season, and how could they have rigged the match? There's no reason for them to do that.""Yeah, and the CalX team hasn't won the championship for years. If they really wanted one, then they should have spent the money before AlmightyAlex retired. Think about it. He peaked when he debuted. If he went out in glory with a World Championship before he retired, wouldn't he become the dream esports athlete of tens of thousands of girls? He'd al
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 749 Who Knows?
Terry was annoyed at the sight of Simon because of how he had performed in the arena. But as they were comrades who had done battle together, he still answered Simon's question politely. "The club has always not given commissions, right? AlmightyAlex says that every year and this year is no exception. Weren't you there when we ate together?"Simon almost didn't know what to say to his rebuttal. He looked awkward and scratched his head. "When we ate together the last time, I went out to smoke a cigarette, so I didn't hear what AlmightyAlex said. I didn't receive any news from the manager after that either, so I thought …""It's impossible that you didn't get the message. The manager was sitting right next to me, and I watched him send it to you. He even told you to come back to the private room quickly to eat." Terry snorted coldly and resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Simon. Simon was startled and took out his phone in front of Terry. But he didn't unlock the screen.
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 750 Stop Arguing
His cold words plunged the hall into a heavy silence. The Flashfocus Club members looked at each other, unsure if it would be unethical of them to enjoy the show. They were the ones who had been accused of taking money and rigging the match, but they hadn't gotten emotional about it. Now it seemed that the other side had started arguing instead. Was it because … their people had accepted money, and then … won?What was all this about?They didn't dare to speak either and could only look at each other and watch in silence. On the other hand, the CalX club was also confused. The atmosphere had been pretty good due to the playful bickering between Philip and Alexia.They'd been teasing each other about who would buy dinner and what they would have. After all, winning the competition and thinking about everyone getting a large sum of prize money made them all happy. Even if that silly online issue had occurred, they were frank about not having done it. They had won the mat
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 751 What Does It Have to Do with Me?
"What's up? Did I catch you off guard by showing up? Thought I was here to give you a good talking to?" The manager chuckled at Simon's reaction and couldn't resist cracking a joke. He had a good understanding of the players on the team. He understood that each of them had their quirks. After all, they weren't saints, and no one was perfect. Fortunately, the players on their team didn't have any major personal issues, so there wouldn't be significant damage to their reputation. Conversely, as he browsed through social media and observed streamers or players from other esports clubs dealing with their tumultuous personal lives, the mere thought of it gave him a headache. These young individuals appeared to be more unrestrained than the middle-aged ones, and they didn't seem to fear the consequences either. However, as long as they weren't breaking the law, he saw no reason to comment on their affairs. His only concern was that his players stayed out of trouble. Having alre
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 752 Nightmare
Back when they were in cahoots, BlueMushroom had thrown all sorts of threats at Simon to ensure he carried out his assigned task. But now, all Simon received was a nonchalant "What does it have to do with me?" How could it have nothing to do with him? Simon's fingers trembled as he swiped across his phone screen. The response time between messages wasn't slow; it was almost instantaneous. This meant BlueMushroom had seen all of Simon's earlier messages and was merely playing dead. With trembling fingers, Simon fired off a rapid stream of profanities, threats, and even curses. In contrast, BlueMushroom's response appeared much more composed. BlueMushroom: "Saying these things to me here won't help. You need evidence for your accusations. Do you have any evidence? As fellow league players, I won't mind the insults you threw at me today. "But if you keep insulting me, I'll screenshot the insults and send them to my club's legal department. At that point, you'll be facing t
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 753 Absurdity
Rebecca was recalling the nightmare she had just experienced. Even though there were no visible images from the dream, vivid scenes unfolded in her mind at that moment. The crashing waves at the pier echoed loudly, and the lighthouse beam pierced through the darkness as it swung around. What was most terrifying was the boundless deep sea and the fear of sinking as her feet could not reach the bottom. Rebecca furrowed her brows involuntarily, but her curiosity quickly waned. She was reluctant to dwell on the past. Taking another sip of her latte, Rebecca pretended as if she hadn't been lost in thought earlier. She turned to Daniel with a smile and remarked, "Being able to control one's curiosity is a sign of greater intelligence. No wonder you’ve achieved so much, Mr. Winston." Her playful smile dispelled any lingering concern in Daniel's heart. He chuckled lightly and expressed a hint of helplessness. "You flatter me, Becca." Daniel suddenly realized that the formal a
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 754 Sure
Rebecca wasn't particularly surprised about the reversal of public opinion. After all, the truth remained true, and falsehood remained false. Even if someone created a seemingly reasonable fake story to exploit information gaps, it couldn't alter the underlying reality. What truly caught Rebecca off guard was the rapid emergence of netizens fervently shipping Alex and Carissa. She was taken aback and couldn't believe how quickly everyone seemed to pick up on the scent of romance. As she marveled at this, she clicked into the fan club. It was only at this moment that Rebecca realized there were not only the new fans shipping them, but many existing fans had been secretly shipping them for a while. Yet, these fans adhered to unwritten rules like avoiding the use of real names in the fan club. Even the in-game IDs of the players were kept undisclosed. This precaution was taken to prevent any potential embarrassment if the subjects of the ship stumbled upon the fan club. It

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
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
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
