Yearning for Her Return Chapter 982 Fortune Favors the Bold
Beatrice was livid, and Julia was equally enraged as well."Penny, do you even realize what you've just said?" Julia glared at Penny, her eyes betraying resentment and anger.Beatrice, clutching her chest, scolded, "This is madness. How could a young lady like you behave like this? No wonder your father reprimanded you! In fact, I think he's been too lenient, too gentle on you!"Penny stood with her hands behind her back, gripping her phone tightly.She had a plan. If she got hit again today, she'd call the police.Practice makes perfect, after all. Today, she helped Cecilia call the police in broad daylight, and tonight she'd be calling them for herself.There would always be someone to help her.Unfazed by Beatrice and Julia's words, Penny countered, "Is there something wrong with what I said? You called me a liability, but aren't you just insulting yourselves?"They were all women in this world, so why was she the only one labeled a liability?Aren't they liabilities too?
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 983 Encounter
Penny escaped from the Lowe's at night. She had left voluntarily, so technically she wasn't kicked out. Plus, she would have returned home at night again.Penny's room was situated differently from Spencer's. It wasn't on the second floor of the villa's backyard, but a separate building in the corner.Although Beatrice also had her own separate building, her living conditions were much better. There were many flowers and trees planted around the courtyard. It even had a small prayer altar.Penny had never been to the backyard, as she would be scolded if she got close. She was called a jinx, and that her approaching the altar would bring about bad luck. In fact, she found these ridiculous claims quite amusing. Compared to Beatrice's building, the area Penny lived in was extremely desolate.It was located next to a small pond near the villa and had nothing around it. In the summer, the weeds grew wild, and the housekeepers only came to tidy up when there were guests. Otherwise, i
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 984 She was Gentle to Me
After Penny determined that the young man didn't seem like someone with bad intentions, she asked, "Hey, are you okay?"While she checked on him, she kept her distance since she hadn't completely let her guard down. After all, it was late at night. She couldn't casually judge someone's character based on what they wore. However, the young man's appearance also made Penny feel a bit sorry for him. Of course, there would always be sympathetic people in the world like her. Even if their own lives weren't going well, they still liked to help others.Penny grew up in a loveless family. During the day, she saw someone similar to herself, which was Cecilia. Now, at night, she encountered a homeless teenager. She couldn't help but categorize him the same as Cecilia and herself.He was probably from another disagreeable family and got kicked out. Or maybe, he ran away on his own.Since Penny didn't receive a reply from the young man, she continued, "It's cold at night. You should find a p

"Is the injury on your face from your family?"Sam had lowered his head again, and his clear voice came from under his hood.The wind brushed against Penny's face gently, soothing the swollen redness from the beating.She subconsciously touched her cheek and said after hesitating, "Well, sort of."Sam chuckled. "What does that mean? It was a yes or no question."Penny fell silent for a few seconds before explaining, "I'm not sure whether they count as my family. After all, no family would beat their child to death."She shrugged indifferently, adding, "This is just a minor injury, so don't worry about it. You should go home soon."Penny remembered reading about "downward comparison" in some psychology books before. It mentioned it could make people feel psychologically superior and enhance their self-esteem and confidence.In simple terms—it was comparing yourself to others who had it worse than you.Penny thought that compared to this young man's family, parents who were pron
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 986 Shock
Penny's departure from the beaten path began at this moment.Before the Lowe family's elders could criticize her, she would first assess whether her actions were wrong, and then choose an appropriate way to fight back.As expected, after she returned home without her wallet that night, her irate parents indeed sent someone to ask her to come back to the hall. Unfortunately, she had already left.She only learned about this the next day.The servant had been waiting downstairs in her loft since early morning. They casually mentioned Spencer calling for her the previous night and explained why they were there."Mrs. Lowe got up early to prepare breakfast for you. Mr. Lowe is also there. Please go to the dining room to enjoy breakfast with them."Penny found the situation quite amusing.In the past, when she was still begging for her parents' love, it was a luxury for Penny to even sit at the same table with them for a meal. Even then, she had to gauge their mood first.It was eve
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 987 What a Pity
What surprised Cecilia was that Penny had willingly accompanied her to her rundown home, out of concern for her injury. On top of that, Penny didn't complain at all about the state of her shabby house.Cecilia remembered vividly that her elementary school classmate had said she wanted to come to her house to play.At that time, she didn't know anything better. She thought that she had made a good friend at school, so she happily invited her over.She never expected that classmate to mock her.Although Cecilia was very young at that time, the words she heard stayed with her for a lifetime.That 'friend' said that Cecilia's home was like a rat hole. A dilapidated building where dirty rats lived.Clearly, Cecilia's grandmother, Scarlett, kept the house very clean. She had even arranged a bouquet of flowers to welcome the arrival of Cecilia's friend. The house wasn't rundown, it was just a bit small. Cecilia and Scarlett even had a tabby cat, specifically to drive away the mice in
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 988 Accept It
Of course, Cecilia wasn't thinking that far into the future at the moment.Her and Penny were both heavily burdened, after all. Just the academic tasks alone were enough for them to spend a lot of effort at their age, and with troubles at home piling up, they had no room to think about the future.Cecilia watched Penny enjoy her meal. She couldn't help but voice out her concern, "If your family cuts off your allowance, what will you do?"She and Scarlett, her grandmother, relied on each other, and even if they were short on money, they could apply for school grants. Cecilia could even work part-time during breaks to earn a living.But Penny's situation was different.Her family wasn't short of money, they had even donated a few buildings to the school. So, she definitely wouldn't qualify for subsidies.As for taking up a part-time job…Cecilia's eyes lit up as she suggested, "Penny, you're great at studying, why don't you become a tutor? You've always been a top student. "As l
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 989 Feeling Great
Penny indeed took Cecilia's suggestion and started a tutoring job to earn some money. Because of her reputation at school, the tutor fees being charged weren't low, either.At the start, Penny had to do some screening. After all, too many people wanted her as a tutor when the news spread.However, she didn't pin all her hopes on this matter.Although Penny's parents didn't treat her like their own, at least she never lacked material possessions because of them.As the Lowe family's daughter, her expenses on clothing and daily necessities were considerable. Sometimes, when she felt down, she would even spend money to vent her sadness.If how Penny spent her money was to be described, "lavish" would be an understatement.If it weren't for her exceptional academic performance, she would be no different from those spoiled kids in university.So, this little money wasn't enough.Fortunately, she had changed her mindset in time and didn't sink into despair just because her account wa

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

"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
