"You know how they give death row inmates a final feast before the big moment in some places? Well, I thought, why not treat you to a good meal before you take off?" Ellen said casually. He slipped back into his usual playful mood.

Rebecca ignored Ellen's comment and focused on enjoying her meal. Meanwhile, Ellen kept silent and begrudgingly nibbled at a dish he was growing tired of.

He distractedly scrolled through his phone and shot off a few messages. When he noticed Rebecca had finished her meal, he put down his utensils and asked, "All done?"

Without waiting for an answer, Ellen signaled for the waiter to bring the bill. A slim and frail-looking young man approached with the check. It was hard to believe he was already 18 or older.

Ellen settled the bill with his card and slipped a generous amount of cash into the waiter's pocket. After putting his wallet away, he gave Rebecca a signal with his eyes.

"Come on. I'll take you somewhere fun," Ellen said.

Rebecca stood up and te

    "Why are you talking to me like that? Do you think you can judge me?" Rebecca boldly questioned Georgie.With a determined look, she added, "Even David has no right to judge what happened between us. Why do you think you can talk to me like this?"The driver, who used to work with David, recognized Rebecca and was surprised to hear her confronting Georgie and Ellen—the leaders of Seardale.He was so startled that he accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the brake, which made the car suddenly speed up and then stop abruptly.Luckily, the car was sturdy, and the people in the backseat were not too shaken. The driver continued driving after apologizing, but the atmosphere inside the car had become awkward.Rebecca continued to pour out her frustration on Georgie. "If it wasn't for David, I could've started my studio and reunited with my family four years ago."Instead, I've become someone who can't remember anything. I was constantly manipulated and tormented by him. Are y

    Ellen avoided making eye contact with Rebecca and coughed nervously. He slowly pushed her suitcase and said, "We found some things that belong to him recently, and a bunch seem connected to you."So, we thought you should have them."Rebecca walked ahead quickly. She did not slow down like she had at the airport."I know you're upset about his past, Rebecca. But think about how he and we treated you for the past four years," Ellen said. He handed the suitcase to a security guard and limped to catch up with her."And he's gone now. What's the point of holding onto the anger?" Ellen added.Rebecca slowed down and glanced at him. She wanted to say something but stayed silent. The villa's decor and furniture remained unchanged since she had last been there.Even the new additions seemed to deliberately match the existing style, as if they were reluctant to let her forget the past. Rebecca strolled through the space and took in the familiar surroundings.Ellen silently followed and a

    Ellen didn't have anything important to give to Rebecca. They were just a few small keepsakes from her and David's trip, along with a photo album.It was a bit surprising that David had kept these things. Rebecca and Ellen checked them out in the study, but Rebecca didn't take them home. Instead, she put them back where they belonged.After spending a few days at Seardale, Rebecca quickly flew back to her country before Sam could drag her back.Once Ellen saw Rebecca off at the airport, he returned to the car. Georgie, sitting in the back seat, disapprovingly said, "You just let her go like that?"Ellen casually took the seat next to Georgie and replied, "Didn't you do the same? You let her leave without saying much."Georgie shot him a glare and said, "I'm not that close to her."Ellen gave him a condescending look as if Georgie were an idiot.Georgie calmly stated, "I'm just being honest."Compared to Ellen, Georgie wasn't as familiar with Rebecca. It wasn't that he hated her

    As Rebecca and Sam stepped out of the car, they bumped into Daniel unexpectedly. It had been almost two years since they had last seen him.Even after all this time, Daniel's face still had that familiar look that Rebecca remembered. It brought back memories of someone who wasn't around anymore.She stopped and flashed a smile at Daniel. "It's been a long time. Are you here to grab a bite?"Her tone made it sound like there were no old issues between them. Daniel was surprised by how calm she was.Politely, he reached out for a handshake, but when Rebecca didn't respond, he withdrew his hand. After a short pause, Daniel said, "Yeah. It's been quite a while."He gulped before adding, "I just finished my meal and packed some for the hospital."Rebecca nodded and said, "Alright. Sam and I are going to grab a bite. Take care."Without diving into many questions, she left with Sam. They didn't seem distant even though years had passed, but it also felt like there were no lingering em

    Rebecca and Sam settled into their seats at the restaurant, and something caught Rebecca's attention—the odd expression on Sam's face.After ordering their food, Rebecca couldn't resist asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"Sam nonchalantly tapped the table and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I just thought you might see someone and start thinking about an old flame."Rebecca was puzzled. She hadn't been thinking about that at all. Deciding to let it go, she shifted her focus to the dessert the waiter brought to the table.Surprisingly, enjoying a cold treat in the slightly chilly atmosphere turned out to be a delightful experience, and Rebecca relished every bite."Are you sure you're over him?" Sam persisted when Rebecca remained quiet.Daniel's return triggered valid concerns. His remarkable physical recovery was undeniable. While David's passing brought a sense of relief to everyone, Rebecca's lingering sorrow was palpable during that period.Whether it was witnessing his

    Rebecca and Sam decided not to bring up Daniel during dinner. They chatted about work and family. Then they briefly touched on Rebecca's trip to Seardale.Safety meant everything to the Johnson family, and it was only natural for Sam to feel concerned when Rebecca visited places with a dangerous history.However, seeing her return safe and happy made Sam let go of his anger. He decided not to bring up those worries again as he didn't want to dampen the mood.Rebecca decided to stay in Fairport for a longer time during this visit. James, who had aged a bit, settled down there two years ago. With its year-round spring-like weather, James found Fairport to be the perfect place for his retirement.James's children were doing a great job of running the family business. Even though the family was spread out, the business kept growing, so James didn't have to worry anymore.Angela never really considered moving to Fairport. Over the years, she felt like the only person who cared about he

    Rebecca kept grinning as she said straightforwardly, "Oops, our place is full, and we didn't expect you and your daughter. There's just not enough space for you two."If Zelda had said that, Angela could have made her feel bad and convinced her to let them stick around. Angela usually pushed Zelda by saying she should look after her younger sister because she was the older one.But the game shifted when Rebecca spoke up. Even though she was younger than Mary, her words surprised everyone with a confidence that no one expected. She was confident because she had survived a car crash that might've been caused by Mary.Also, Rebecca had disappeared as a baby, and it was somehow connected to Mary. This connection left Angela hesitant to confront Rebecca.Even if Angela considered mentioning it, Rebecca could easily brush it off by using her youth as an excuse. Angela shot Rebecca a disapproving look but chose to keep quiet.However, Mary wasn't satisfied and fired back, "Becca, I'm not

    Zelda's comment made Mary feel a bit guilty, and she retorted, "Who cares about staying at your place? We'll just book a hotel room for ourselves."She stood tall and held onto Angela's arm while muttering, "I came to be with Mom, not you. It's funny how rich people get stingy. You won't even spend money on a hotel room for us."The others heard her not-so-loud complaint and shot glances her way. Mary ignored them and kept muttering to herself defiantly."Enough. Since we're all here, let's grab a meal first. Why gather at the airport? Come on, let's eat! Nothing's more important than a good meal!" James' suggestion broke the tension.Angela looked tired. She glanced at Mary before sighing. Without a word, she caught up with the others by walking with her cane.Mary was aware that her main support at the moment was Angela. She had brought Serena along for a specific reason. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come at all.Angela shrugged off Mary's hand and continued walking ahead. Mary

    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
