Lahat ng Kabanata ng Yearning for Her Return : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Rebecca fell silent for a long while.Then, she said in a relaxed tone, "Well, I escaped unharmed. I was even lucky enough to find you guys. No matter what, they brought me up. So, let's just leave it at that."She let them off the hook. It was a repayment for their kindness in raising her all those years."Becca—" Sam seemed to have more to say. But there was a sudden knock on her door. Rebecca ignored the person outside the door. "Sam, I know what you're going to say," she said. "But I don't want to create new problems now. I just want nothing to do with them in the future."Ignoring the fact that she wasn't abducted, they could easily deny her proof even if she were to show any. Without solid evidence, it would do more harm than good if they turned on her instead. Besides, if the Browns found out Rebecca's biological parents were the Johnsons, they might want benefits. They would keep using the fact that they had raised her for 20 years to ask for them. That was how the Brow

Daniel suddenly stepped on the gas. His voice was like the raging wind outside the car as he said, "Are you in a rush to get the divorce finalized?"What did he mean by that? She didn't need to start a new relationship right away. And nobody was sitting around waiting for her anyway. She shook her head and said in a serious tone, "You're the one who's in a rush."Daniel smirked. Then, he slowed the car down and said, "I'm not."Rebecca was speechless, so she simply said nothing.She already signed the divorce papers anyway. After she cut ties with the Browns tonight, she would no longer have anything to do with them. Half an hour later, they reached the Brown residence.The Browns had gained an elevated status in high society since they were longtime business partners with the Winstons. Plenty of people tried to get close to them. That was why almost all the empty spots outside the villa were lined with luxury cars at that moment. When Rebecca got out of the car, the cold ni

The villa's garden was abuzz as the party was in full swing. Many ladies in high society gathered together. They had found a common topic for discussion—Rebecca's dress that didn't fit well. As the birthday party gradually became livelier, some people couldn't wait any longer. They asked Jessica to make a wish and cut her cake. Jessica walked up to Daniel and said, "Dan, come and cut the cake with me." Daniel glanced at his watch, and his expression darkened. "I'm going to look for Rebecca. You may go ahead and cut the cake with Mrs. Brown."Jessica didn't expect Daniel to be the first person to think of Rebecca. A vicious expression appeared on her face for a brief moment.She initially planned to mention that woman after cutting her cake. But when she checked the time, the situation should be at its climax. It was the perfect time to bring people over to check it out. She smiled and said, "I almost forgot Rebecca is back. I'll go with you then. I wonder if she's upset with

Jessica was about to act like she was wronged. But Rebecca cut her off, saying, "Don't be so quick to explain. I have evidence."At her signal, the thugs who were playing cards with her earlier put their phones on the coffee table. They played the video and audio recordings on them. The video showed Rebecca turning on the lights after entering the door. Right after that, the door was shut from the outside. She tried to turn the doorknob, but the door wouldn't open no matter what. It was only 30 seconds long, but it was enough to prove someone had set Rebecca up. They had locked her in the room. It was unlike what Jessica said. She didn't stay upstairs on purpose.Jessica immediately denied it. "Rebecca, I don't know why someone locked you in the room. I didn't come upstairs with you, either. Also, there's a good mix of people here today. Look, even thugs could enter …" She put the blame on Rebecca again. Someone indeed locked Rebecca up. But maybe it was because she offen

Rebecca stopped in her tracks when she heard Karen calling out to her. Karen got up from the floor with a cold expression. Then, she waved to have someone bring a document to her. "Since you've decided to leave our family, sign this disownment agreement." Having the disownment in writing was better than a verbal agreement alone. Rebecca was already an adult. Still, nobody could tell if she would go back on her word. Maybe she would refuse to give up being a member of a wealthy family. Karen didn't want her adopted daughter to take advantage of the Brown family! Without hesitation, Rebecca signed the disownment agreement. There were two copies, so she kept one. Once again, she thanked Karen. "Thank you for raising me, Mrs. Brown. Goodbye." She wanted to leave as soon as she said that. She ignored everybody, including her supposed ex-husband. "Rebecca!" When he saw her about to leave, Daniel went up to her and grabbed her wrist. She shook his hand off, and a look of disgu
