Chapter 81 Remember to Miss Me!

Rebecca quickly sent a message to the group chat to let her family know that she was safe.As soon as she sent the message, a phone call from Alex came in. Rebecca felt a little guilty. As such, after answering the call, she hurriedly said in a sweet voice, "Hi, Alex. Why are you up so early in the morning?" Rebecca had woken up at four in the morning. It was 15 minutes to five at the moment. Alex paid no mind to her greeting and went straight to the point. "Are you still with Daniel?" he asked, tone slightly intimidating.Rebecca paused for a moment. However, after some thought, she quickly realized how Alex had found out about that. She had been drinking with Ryan at Ninth Manor, after all. Anyone who asked around about her would've been able to know her whereabouts. Sam had been in Riverwood for quite a while now, so it was easy for him to get a hold of such information.Her family kept calling and texting her because they were worried about her being alone with Daniel. They

Chapter 82 Daniel's Refusal

Daniel hadn't meant to eavesdrop on her phone call. He'd only come to charge his phone because he remembered that there was an extra charger in the master bedroom. He wasn't expecting to hear her flirtatiously telling someone to think of her when he was about to knock. His fist paused in the air, a swarm of thoughts clouding his head. That tone of hers was obviously only used toward people who were really close to her. He'd only ever heard such a sweet voice coming from her years ago, before her return. Since that was the case, who had she been talking to? The door was ajar, so he could hear her clearly. With a slight raise of his head, he was able to see her expressions. At times, she smiled at something on her phone, and at times, she looked uncertain. She was the picture of a woman in love. At that thought, Daniel's emotionless face turned cold. He knocked on the door sharply. Rebecca looked back and saw that the door was ajar. She got out of bed at once and shuffled into

Chapter 83 Didn't She Say Her Brother Was Coming?

Daniel's hand was frozen in midair. He was evidently planning to knock right as Rebecca opened the door, so he paused in his movements. She was still taken aback, though. "What are you doing here?" It was too early in the morning to be startled. She was lucky to have a strong will. Daniel put his hand down slowly. He frowned when he saw the disdain on her face, but he quickly went back to being dignified. "It's about time I left for work. I was planning to ask you if you'd like a ride."Getting a cab in the area wasn't easy, and he brought her there yesterday. He could take her back if she needed. However, judging by her outfit, she obviously had other plans. Unsurprisingly, Rebecca declined his offer. "That's alright. Thank you, Mr. Winston, but my brother is coming to pick me up. He'll be downstairs any moment, so I won't bother you anymore." Daniel didn't say much else. That online report was real. Ethan was her biological brother. He couldn't very well object to him coming

Chapter 84 A Lovely Brother

Brother, she'd said. A brother who would give her a rose.He scoffed.Daniel watched as the black Maybach drove away, sneering. This was probably the lovely brother that she talked to so happily over the phone in the morning. He kept staring until the car was reduced to a speck of dust, and he retracted his gaze, a layer of frost on his face.Meanwhile, the passengers in the car had not noticed him at all.Rebecca loved roses. When she was young and in love, she wished for someone to give her roses. Even one was enough. However, as the years passed, she realized it might have just been wishful thinking. She had not received a single one. Thus, she began learning to love herself. If no one was going to give her roses, she would get them herself. Life was too short for her to wait on someone.If no one would love her, she would do it herself.That was why she chose to take a botanical course when she was abroad. She learned how to plant and care for roses. Soon, that little rented

Chapter 85 Who Are They Provoking?

Penny had sent her a picture of a gold-themed wedding invitation. The Browns were going to hold a banquet tonight in celebration of Ethan marrying into their family to repay them for raising Rebecca. They had invited their friends from around the world to witness this.Rebecca read it again, a sneer on her face. When Karen called, all she mentioned was a family dinner for Benjamin, who came home. But now it had turned into an engagement party.Rebeca had thought too highly of her.Before she could reply, Penny had already typed out everything she wanted to say. “The Browns are just so shameless. They forced you to sign the severance papers after what happened on Jessica’s birthday, and now they’re pulling a stunt like this because they saw you had a movie star for a brother. Why the heck are they doing this?”“Wasn’t it obvious?” Rebecca thought as she typed. “Were you invited as well?”Penny replied, “No. Jessica can’t stand the sight of me.”Rebecca knew that. After signing wit

Chapter 86 Guess Who

Once the words left Rebecca’s lips, Sam’s face darkened, and his eyebrows knitted. But before they could question him, he returned to his usual self. “As long as it doesn’t affect her work, she can go. The money I’ve invested in her has not been returned yet.”Rebecca followed him and changed the topic. “Do you want to go with us, Sam? The Browns have turned a family dinner into a party with a bunch of people. Haven’t they invited you yet?” Penny said that the Browns had invited nearly every socialite in Riverwood, including some of the people they looked down upon. Even socialites of lower standing were invited. But of course, the decision was still up to the guest.Although Sam hadn’t used the Johnsons’ name in his business, XR Entertainment was a pretty significant company. He had a name in Riverwood, especially in the entertainment industry. Sam should have been invited as well.Sam snorted. “Do they even deserve my presence?” His tone was full of mockery. At the mention of the

Chapter 87 That Woman

The documents were detailed transaction records from an account. Daniel may not have understood all of its details, but he knew enough to recognize the account's name.It was one of the Winston Group's subsidiaries, which meant that the money was taken from him. Even if it wasn't taken from him directly, it was related to him."Those thugs who tried to assault Bex when she returned from abroad, this is where they got the money from," Ryan explained. "It's not directly from your account, but it's related to you."In other words, if the assault succeeded and the police intervened, he would be involved in the case. Even if they couldn't find enough concrete evidence to arrest him, it would still spell trouble for some people.Daniel stared at the document for some time before looking back at the surveillance footage from Ninth Manor. It was still paused at the same time. He looked at the man who looked identical to him on the screen and frowned. Then he said in a low voice, "It wasn't

Chapter 88 Banquet? Wasn’t It a Family Dinner?

"Why can't I be here?" Jessica looked at Ryan innocently.Ryan was in no mood to speak to her, so he tried to go around her and leave.However, Jessica stopped him. "Mr. Jenkins, we're holding a banquet tonight; would you like to come? Danny will be there too." Before Ryan could decline, she added, "It's for my sister. Her brother is marrying into our family. I know you've been abroad for many years, but I remember you growing up with her. Her brother would be happy to see you there too.""Who's marrying into your family?" Ryan narrowed his eyes. "Rebecca's brother?"Jessica nodded. "That's right! I remember you and Rebecca being pretty close. Didn't you hear from her?"Ryan fell silent in thought for a moment before he smiled. "Sure, since you asked so nicely, I'll be there."Jessica smiled back. "I'll see you tonight, then."Ryan left without a word. Behind him, Jessica's smile disappeared, replaced with anger. She thought furiously. "What's he so haughty about? He's just a pa

Chapter 89 You Don't Need Me at All

"If I remember it correctly, it was Mrs. Brown who served the severance paper." Daniel ignored Jessica's explanation with an unconcerned demeanor. Frowning, he expressed his doubts. "Mrs. Brown kicked Rebecca out, but now, she said she missed Rebecca and wanted her back. Have you ever asked Rebecca for her opinions?"Jessica froze in front of him, surprised that Daniel spoke up for that bitch Rebecca. She badly wanted to tear Rebecca into pieces. Rebecca was nothing but ordinary, but her status suddenly changed upon the appearance of an alleged brother, the award-winning actor Ethan Johnson. "Why didn't she die abroad? She should have been dead the moment she was born! She was the source of this mess!" Jessica silently seethed.Still, she had to contain her anger in front of Daniel. Almost crying from the pent-up emotions, she wailed. "Maybe my mom regretted her decision! You know nothing because you don't even live with us! Rebecca left us heartlessly, and she didn't even bat an eye

Chapter 90 A Bit

Rebecca froze at the door. Even her smile looked forced. All of a sudden, she felt lost when Caleb refused to see her. She paced in front of the door but was undecided between coaxing Caleb or coming back later when he was less mad at her. After a pause, she stared at the door and changed her approach, sounding earnest and genuine. "Caleb, I'm sorry. I know you're mad at me. It was my fault for making you worry last night. I didn't know I was such a lightweight. It wasn't my intention to keep everyone out of the loop. I immediately texted everyone with an explanation right after I woke up this morning. Can you please stop being mad at me?" Caleb still gave her the cold shoulder. She pursed her lips and stood there for a little longer before turning around to leave. Unlike Caleb, she didn't lock herself up in her room. She went downstairs and sat on the living room couch, where she engaged in self-reflection with a pillow in her arms.It had been a while since she tasted defeat. Ever
