Chapter 671

With the manager unreachable, Luke had no choice but to try contacting the production team directly. “Don’t worry. As soon as I have any news, I’ll call you right away,” he assured me.“Thank you, Mr. Walker.”It was nearly eleven o’clock, and Wendy had work the next day. Not wanting to disturb her sleep, I hung up and lay back on the bed.“Jen, it’s been a while since we played a game together,” Wendy said, turning on her side and propping her head up with one hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Come on, play a couple of rounds with me. I recently met this amazing jungle player in the game who can totally carry us!”“Is he really that good this time?”"Top-notch!" She snagged my phone from the nightstand and pressed it into my hand. "I swear, we're gonna crush it this time!"Wendy is brilliant at work, but when it comes to gaming, she’s an enthusiastic amateur. She's that player who's terrible but loves it, charging in without a thought and getting reported for feeding

"He's incredibly capable. I trust him completely," I lowered my gaze. "Penelope is my cousin, and I should be the one figuring out how to help her through this tough time. Instead, it's all falling on Luke's shoulders."I'm just causing him trouble!"Sweetie, you might think you're burdening him, but he's probably enjoying it! Get some sleep! When you wake up tomorrow, everything will be sorted out!"Wendy pulled me down onto the bed and tucked me in.I closed my eyes, but my mind was filled with all the nasty things people were saying about Penelope online.My brow furrowed slightly.Wendy: "Sweetie, how about I tell you a story?""I'm not a kid anymore. I don't need bedtime stories," I pouted, knowing Wendy was trying her best to help me fall asleep."But you've always wanted to know how things ended with my first love, right?"Wendy had a first love she rarely talked about.When I first met her, they had just broken up. She was in a bad place then, always wanting to be alo

Chapter 673

Wendy’s voice was low, filled with sadness. I listened intently.“He’d mentioned before that he had a younger sister, two years younger. So, when I saw him with that girl, I thought he was bringing his sister to school to meet me. I was about to greet them, but then he walked right past me with her. I was so stunned that I thought I was dreaming.”“When I came to my senses, he was introducing her to our classmates as his fiancée. She smiled and greeted everyone. A lot of people looked over at me. I felt like a fool, like some kind of joke. I couldn't see any sympathy in their eyes; I felt like they were all laughing at me. I couldn't take it and ran away like a coward.""That wasn't like me at all. Maybe I was afraid I'd break down crying if I confronted him. I was scared of losing my composure, of attacking him like a madwoman, demanding an explanation.""I thought even a breakup should have some dignity. After I left, I spent the night by the river. When I returned to school, I l

"Yes, pancreatic cancer! After he found out he was sick, he was afraid you'd be heartbroken and couldn't accept him leaving you, so he asked me to help act out a scene."The girl was crying rivers. "He was suffering too when he hurt you. That night, he locked himself in his room and wouldn't let anyone disturb him. He's terminally ill, he could die at any moment. After breaking up with you, he lost all hope and wanted to give up on life."Wendy remembered how she had brushed off the girl’s words. “This all sounds like some kind of soap opera. How much of this is true?”Wendy’s response pushed the girl over the edge. “How can you be so cold? He’s dying, and you’re here making jokes instead of worrying about him!”Wendy didn’t respond. Seeing people looking their way, the girl wiped her tears and pulled out a pre-prepared note from her bag, handing it to Wendy. "If you want to see him, come to St. Love Hospital, Palliative Care Unit. The doctors say he doesn't have much time left."

Chapter 675

"Jethro is the company's cash cow. After announcing his relationship, his popularity took a hit. Online, there are occasional smear campaigns against him that have somewhat affected his reputation. The company isn't happy about him dating at the peak of his career, as it's impacting his work. They've tried to convince him to break up several times, but he's unmoved."Wendy, having slept late last night, rubbed her slightly aching brow. She had cried the night before, and her eyes were a bit puffy. When I looked at her, she turned slightly, avoiding my gaze. "Penelope's scandal plays right into the company's hands. They can use this opportunity to make Jethro give her up.""The dating show has already invested a lot up front. If Penelope's situation isn't handled properly and viewers boycott the show because of her, all that initial investment will go down the drain."The dating show wasn't set up by Jethro's agency, so they won't foot the bill for the agency's decisions."The s

"I’m used to it," Wendy said.“I need to get used to it, too.” As Luke's assistant, I can't wear my emotions on my sleeve. In the workplace, everyone wears a mask. Even if you're cursing someone in your head with the vilest words, you have to keep a polite smile on your face.That's the basic requirement for being an assistant.I couldn't pass up this perfect opportunity to practice. After breakfast with Wendy, I bought some health supplements and rushed to the hospital.In the hospital parking lot, I unbuckled my seatbelt and turned to Wendy, who was getting ready to follow me out of the car. “I can go alone.”"Your uncle's no pushover. He just lost his precious son and has no outlet for his grief and anger. You're too soft; he'll see you as an easy target. What if he uses you as a punching bag? You won't be able to handle it.""I can be tough!"I put on a stern face, trying to look more serious."Next time, you can deal with it yourself."Wendy got out of the car, insisting

Chapter 677

"We were at a loss with her. People comforted us, saying that when she got a bit older, she'd understand our good intentions. We waited year after year, but she’d rather drift around in unfamiliar places than come home. However, she deeply misunderstood us, always quitting and leaving before we could find her. To us, she was still a child. Even if she didn't want to see us, we still cared about and missed her deeply. That’s why we brought her brother to Johnsonville, hoping to rekindle some sibling affection. If we’d known this trip would end like this… that it would…”At this point, my uncle broke down sobbing, "My son! Dad is so sorry! I shouldn't have asked you to come with us to Johnsonville to see your sister!""Mr. Middleton, excessive grief can harm your health," the volunteer quickly tried to comfort my uncle.My cousin was my uncle's pride and joy. With his heart torn out, he was inconsolable, wailing with his mouth wide open.The on-duty nurse heard the commotion and hurr

I was stunned, my eyes widening as I nearly dropped my phone.It took me a moment to find my voice. “Try… try for another child?”Wendy nodded.Just as I was processing Wendy's words, she stuck out her foot and tripped the volunteer passing by us.The volunteer, who had just filmed Penelope's "dirt," was gloating, looking down at their phone to edit the footage.Wendy and I were standing by the wall. The volunteer couldn't see us and tripped right over Wendy's foot, letting out a yelp as they fell forward, their phone flying out of their hand."I'm so sorry!"Wendy quickly reached out to grab the volunteer's arm.She barely touched their clothes before the volunteer hit the ground with a thud."Are you okay? Where does it hurt?"Wendy gave me a look, and I immediately understood, rushing over to check on the volunteer.She was completely unprepared for the fall, now sprawled on the floor with painful scrapes on her knees, wrists, and fingers. Dazed, she finally managed to ga

"The Smith family has a huge business with many employees. Get her to arrange a job for me!" Uncle's calculating expression didn't look at all like someone who had just lost his son and was heartbroken.I frowned and stood there silently."Jen, I'm your uncle. We're family. Family should help each other. Getting me a job introduction shouldn't be too hard for you.""Aunt Karen is still in the ICU. You should be by her side, encouraging her.""Isn't there something called a sinecure?" Uncle couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Just have my name on the company books, I don't have to show up, but still get paid."Me: ..."If you're too embarrassed to ask, I can talk to her for you.""..." How could I be related by blood to someone so shameless? What bad luck!"Even if the Smith family is wealthy, they can't afford to support a parasite like you."There was no need to be polite anymore after such an outrageous request.Uncle's face fell. "I'm your elder. How dare you speak to me

Chapter 680

"If you were really as capable as you say, you wouldn’t still be clueless about what happened to your son.""So, if I can get justice for him, you’ll let me into your company?" he asked, a hopeful look on his face."I won’t.""Then I just wasted all this time talking to you!"Seeing Wendy's firm attitude, Uncle Paul kicked the gift box on the floor.Wendy shot him a glance, and then we entered the elevator together. Since there were others in the elevator, we kept quiet until we got back to the car.As she started the engine, Wendy muttered, "What a piece of work! He doesn’t want to do a lick of actual work; he just wants a free paycheck. He’s out here exploiting his own daughter and still trying to squeeze money out of strangers.""He was spoiled by my grandma. Old habits die hard.""Do you think your grandma is looking down and regretting it now?""Hardly. She’d probably be blaming us instead."To her, her precious son could do no wrong; everyone else was at fault. If he wa
