Chapter 161 Gross

"Why are your photos still up? Didn't Cal get rid of them?" Sam frowned at the picture of Rebecca and a strange woman. "And who's this? Why do you have a photo with her? We don't even have a photo of the two of us together!"Rebecca quietly put her phone away. She smiled sheepishly. "If you want to take a photo together, Sam, we can take one now."Sam wanted to smack Rebecca over the head, but he held back. "Tell me honestly. What's going on?"Rebecca could only tell Sam about how she had taken a photo with a nurse at the hospital today. Then, she also explained the news she had seen online.The nurse’s situation was quite pitiful too. First, she had been told off just because she had gone to change Jessica's bandages. She had felt aggrieved and complained about it on her own social media, but that evolved into an online incident because of Jessica's fans.It wasn't just because of the nurse's post either. The nurse had posted a photo of herself and Rebecca before this too, which

Chapter 162 Don't Worry About Me

Rebecca and Caleb both acted very quickly. In no time, they got the nurse's account protected. At the same time, the posts that exposed her personal information had been deleted, preventing more of her data from being spread.Rebecca also contacted Carl Collins and told him to tell the nurse not to go online for a couple of days if she could avoid it. At the same time, Rebecca advised her to have someone accompany her at all times. No one could guarantee that a rabid fan wouldn't go to the hospital and harm her.Carl had been the one who called that nurse over that afternoon, so he probably had her contact details. Carl replied very quickly. Even the text he sent bore some resentment.It read, "Your reminder is coming too late. I saw that girl crying this afternoon when she checked her phone. The hospital also received some local packages. Guess what was in them? There was a dead rat and a dead cat. There were a bunch of death threats too. They scared the girl so much that she fai

Chapter 163 Home

In the dead of night, the tide of public opinion seemed to swing in Jessica's favor.Even in the wee hours, the competition continued.Inside the ward, Jessica breathed a sigh of relief as she witnessed the improving sentiment in the public discourse.She made a call and said coldly, "Do I really have to spell out every little detail for you? Did I hire you to be a mere freeloader? How dare you disturb my sleep with a late-night call? If you're not up for it anymore, pack your bags and leave tomorrow!"The person on the other end of the phone kept apologizing.Jessica couldn't help but scoff. "I told you all to release a statement and set the record straight early on, but you insisted on taking your time. Now, it's blown up in our faces. You're all incompetent!"She was already in a bad mood from being awakened in the middle of the night. Although the situation was now under control, she couldn't resist delivering another round of scolding. Finally, her mood lifted.As she liste

Chapter 164 A Dog-Eat-Dog World

"By the way, make sure you eat well at Sam's place. Don't sleep in until this hour and skip breakfast every time."Just before ending the call, Ethan couldn't help but offer a few more words of advice."Sam might not be the most attentive person. He might not take great care of you, but you shouldn't be reckless either just because you're young. Understand?""Okay, I got it, Ethan. You should get back to work."Rebecca responded half-heartedly, then promptly ended the call.Fortunately, Sam wasn't around to hear him. If he had, they would have likely argued for the entire morning, and he wouldn't have been able to catch up on his work.Rebecca hung up. She took a bite of her bread and was about to sip her coffee when a news notification popped up on her phone."Official Report: Prominent Actress Jessica Brown Detained for Assaulted"Rebecca was shocked. She couldn't bother drinking her coffee anymore. She immediately tapped on the notification to read more.The news was releas

Chapter 165 Just You Wait

It seemed like they were determined to drag down both Rebecca and Ethan.It was as if they didn't want to let Rebecca and Ethan have a good time if Jessica wouldn't be having one.Rebecca briefly scrolled through these comments. She then singled out several accounts and sent them to Caleb.She wrote. "Caleb, please check the backgrounds of these accounts when you have time. Thanks a lot!"Caleb quickly responded with an 'ok' gesture.She had done everything she could. Now, she could only leave the rest to the company's legal department and other teams.Regardless of the circumstances, Rebecca's career in the entertainment industry was completely over after the police report was released. She wouldn't be able to use Daniel's influence to do anything in the industry in the future.Rebecca's mood lit up when she thought of this. She was about to browse her phone when she received a call from Markus. He asked her to cook for Liam.Compared to Jessica's issues, Zelda's health

Chapter 166 Maxwell Jenkins

Rebecca was back at Four Seasons.Unwilling to give up, Rebecca prepared a lemon chicken and some stir-fried vegetables for Liam. This time, the dishes seemed rushed and lacked the same sincerity as before.But since Liam decided to visit again, it meant her culinary skills were still commendable.Also, Liam did not agree or refuse to come and treat her mother. It meant she still had a chance."Uncle Liam, please try it."Rebecca placed the two dishes before Liam. When she uncovered the lemon chicken, a delightful aroma filled the room, along with the rising steam. The vegetables also looked so appealing that they made one's mouth water just by looking at them.Liam was a foodie. He was eager to try the lemon chicken as soon as it was served. Yet, out of respect for Rebecca, he tried to maintain a dignified demeanor. He finally took up his fork after Rebecca greeted him and picked up a piece before putting it in his mouth."How does it taste?"Seeing the food enter Liam's mou

Chapter 167 Leaving in Two Days

"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry to leave. Someone will come to pick me up shortly."Rebecca politely declined. She wasn't close enough to Maxwell to take a ride in his car.Also, the situation with the Jenkins family was a bit complicated.If her memory served her right, Ryan didn't have a good relationship with Maxwell. Although she wasn't close to Ryan, she didn't want to get too involved with him. After all, they were childhood friends. Ryan even did her a favor when she returned to the country. So, she didn't want to get too acquainted with Maxwell.Surprisingly, Maxwell seemed insistent on catching up with her.After Rebecca rejected him, he didn't leave. He checked his watch and said, "Considering the time now, it's still two hours until the end of the workday. It would take an hour to drive here. If you're waiting for someone to pick you up, that's a three-hour wait. And if you're planning to hail a cab, that would take an hour. So, Ms. Rebecca, are you planning to stand her

Chapter 168 Human Nature

Rebecca nodded lightly and explained briefly, "Mr. Jenkins, you've probably seen my situation online. I've found my relatives now, and I'm divorced. "So, I'll be going back home. My family doesn't live in Riverwood, and my affairs here are pretty much settled. There's no need to stay any longer."As for which city she was heading to, she didn't elaborate. Firstly, it wasn't necessary, as she wasn't close to Maxwell. Secondly, she didn't want anyone from her past to be related to her future. Even though Maxwell was a fleeting memory from her past, he was still connected to those bygone days.She didn't want to dwell on her failed love in the past, nor did she want to remember the people from her past.She was aware of her own stubbornness in some aspects. Otherwise, she wouldn't have held onto Daniel for so many years despite the presence of many wealthy and decent suitors in her social circle. Even if she accepted her role as a pawn in the Brown family's political game, she

Chapter 169 Couldn’t Be Rushed

"Well, no. It's just that I don't have anything else to attend to here, and my parents miss me. I figured I could head home earlier than planned." Rebecca was calm now. She could speak about it like nothing had happened.Markus thought Liam had rejected her outright. His expression shifted. "Man, that old guy! He's refusing to do the work after enjoying the food! Gimme a sec, Ms. B. I'll talk some sense into him.""No, don't." Rebecca stopped him, looking helpless. "He didn't turn me down. Maybe today's dishes just weren't to his taste or something. Anyway, I don't think it's good for me to keep pestering him."My brothers can't wait for me to be home, and maybe my mother will get better when I'm with her. Then, we won't even have to bother Dr. Manson. He's not exactly young anymore, after all."Rebecca was being honest. She'd never been the type to trouble others to help her. She could set aside her pride and beg once or twice, but she wasn't shameless enough to do it again and ag

Chapter 170 Have You Lost Interest in Mr. Johnson

"Oh, it's nothing. A customer said this dish wasn't authentic, so I was surprised to hear Ms. Jones say it was. But everyone has different tastes, right?"It's normal for different people to have different types of feedback. Anyway, let's eat while everything's still hot."Rebecca didn't intend to say much. She explained perfunctorily before smiling.Maxwell didn't seem to want to let the matter slide, though. After a short silence, he said, "As you said, Becca, everyone has different preferences. Maybe that customer only said that because this dish is slightly different from what he remembers."It might not have anything to do with the dish itself." He added politely, "You don't mind me calling you that, do you? It's how I used to address you when we were younger."Rebecca did feel a little awkward at the suggested intimacy, but she couldn't make him change. She smiled and shook her head. "It's fine."Maxwell filled their glasses with more water. His attention was obviously stil
