Chapter 831 Bustling

As Rebecca uttered those words, she looked at Caleb with a smile. Caleb gazed at her seriously for a moment, then chuckled softly, "It's best if you can think like that, Becca." After conveying his thoughts, Caleb didn't linger in Rebecca's room much longer. After picking up his laptop from the couch, he bid farewell and left. "It's getting late; don't forget about the early morning flight. Remember to wake up early. I'll head back to my room to rest. You should get some sleep too." "Goodbye, Caleb." Rebecca waved as she saw him off. Once Caleb left, the room felt somewhat empty. Rebecca strolled to the window and, looking down, spotted the man standing beside the SUV. The crimson flames slowly burned at his fingertips, sometimes bright, sometimes dim. After observing for a while, she expressionlessly closed the curtains. The man on the ground seemed to sense something and looked up at the building. However, he found nothing. The next morning, Rebecca woke up

Chapter 832 Make a Deal

The environment here, unlike the commercial streets that Rebecca explored last night, had a distinctive local architectural style. Extending as far as the eye could see was a massive square, adorned with numerous white doves near the fountain. Street artists diligently worked on their paintings, and musicians played an array of musical instruments. People casually rested or immersed themselves in the performances. After each performance, children eagerly tossed coins to the musicians while anticipating the next captivating performance. Beyond the colossal circular fountain stood an iconic cathedral. The central clock's hands moved slowly, and the air carried the distant sounds of a wedding march. Perhaps a priest inside the cathedral was officiating a marriage ceremony. Rebecca felt like she had outgrown the age of romantic fantasies about love. Or maybe, having understood various aspects of life, she had lost interest in love. However, in such an atmosphere, listening to

Chapter 833 Possibility of the Unexpected

"A deal?" Upon hearing Rebecca's suggestion, Georgie finally displayed a different expression on his face. His perpetually gloomy countenance cracked into a hint of mockery. It was hard to imagine that such an expression could be seen on his face. While Rebecca was surprised, he continued, "Ms. Rebecca, now that we're being open, why resort to such tactics? Or do you doubt your brother's ability to protect you and ensure your safe return? "Is that why you're resorting to these tactics to make me back off?" Rebecca laughed. "What are you talking about? I just hope we can settle this peacefully. There's no need to turn this into a movie-like scene. It's hard to control things in a foreign land in case something happens." If the issue could be resolved peacefully, why resort to violence? Georgie followed them all the way, yet he didn't seem exhausted at all. If anything, she felt more exhausted. Of course, when Rebecca spoke these words to Georgie, she had other thoughts

Chapter 834 No Need to Feel Guilty

After landing, Rebecca felt a bit uneasy and hesitated before disembarking from the plane. Reflecting on the past few days of her "journey," she had been on edge. She had even contemplated the worst-case scenario of disappearing from the world. Of course, she had also optimistically considered the possibility of returning home. In her dreams, she envisioned herself as a character from a blockbuster film. She imagined being rescued by superheroes and safely landing, rushing into her parents' arms, and reverting to being a child. However, she had not imagined returning home in this way—having to cooperate with everyone to keep it a secret from her parents. She had to resort to well-intentioned lies to try to alleviate her parents' concerns and ensure their well-being. As she followed Caleb out of the plane and stepped onto the rooftop with a view of Rookfort, Rebecca felt it was still somewhat surreal. Everything seemed like a dream. Even when she saw Albert, her biological

Chapter 836 Didn't Buy It

After talking to Rebecca, David turned the camera back to Susan.He smiled and said, "Susan, you agree, right?"Susan twisted the corner of her mouth. She attempted to force a smile yet found it incredibly difficult.She could only try her best to keep her composure. She said to Rebecca, "Mr. Winston is very handsome. He… he was also very polite to me. I am not scared at all."Even a fool could tell from her unnatural tone that she was just being polite.Suddenly, Rebecca recalled a phenomenon she had read about on the internet: Stockholm syndrome.Unfortunately, this was not a time to joke around.Rebecca smiled and said, "As long as you're not scared, Susan, that's good. It was his mistake not to inform you before picking you up from the airport.

So, she turned back to David."So, David, when ar

Chapter 837 A Plan

Rebecca had no choice but to rephrase what she said. She then said, "I'm not familiar with the roads in Rookfort. Even with maps, I'm not used to driving in Rookfort. Besides, you might arrive early in the morning. I might not even be awake yet.""That's true." David chuckled.Unexpectedly, he agreed with Rebecca. "In that case, you can book a restaurant for tomorrow at noon. I'll bring your new friend to meet you for lunch. How about that?""Alright, let's do that. See you tomorrow?" said Rebecca."See you tomorrow," David said.Then the call ended.Rebecca's beautiful face disappeared from the screen. When the screen completely went dark, David threw it to the side casually.He turned his head and looked at Susan, whose arms were still being tied behind her back, and said with a smile, "I apologize for the inconvenience, Susan. But just in case Becca didn't want to see me again when I returned to Rookfort, I had to use you. I hope I didn't scare you, and I hope you don't mind.

No matter how good her mood was, it was ruined by the remarks.Moreover, there was a rule in terms of greeting the elders.

Chapter 840 Coax the Guests

As he was talking, James glanced at Rebecca and almost burst into laughter."I was joking with you, Becca. It seems like you indeed haven't set foot in the kitchen for years. No worries. Skills don't simply go away. If you like it, you can occasionally cook for your family. It won't be too burdensome."As he spoke, he asked Rebecca and Albert to take their seats at the table.Serena, who was carrying the dishes from the kitchen, saw it and immediately got annoyed.She let out a slight grunt as she put the dishes on the table before sitting down.James frowned. "Why are you sitting down? Aren't they still warming up the dishes in the kitchen?"Serena stood her ground and said, "Grandpa, I am your granddaughter-in-law, so I'm a guest too. Guests shouldn't help with the cooking. Don't you think so?"Both of them were James' granddaughters. So, why was it that Rebecca's hands were soft and fair like polished jade?Why were Serena's hands covered in the greasy smell of kitchen fumes
