Chapter 21 An Unpleasant Sight

Jessica lost it and screeched, "Are you kicking me out?""I wouldn't put it that way, Ms. Brown." Dennis stepped forward. He was calmer because of Rebecca's presence, but there was no hiding the arrogance in his tone. "Since you claim that my cooking tastes bad, the taste won't change even if you order a new dish. We're suggesting that you dine elsewhere to prevent food wastage; we're not kicking you out. We wouldn't dare drive a celebrity out of here."Jessica bellowed, "Get another chef to do it, then! There can't only be one chef in this restaurant!"Dennis shrugged. "Sorry, Ms. Brown. I taught the other chefs what they know, so their cooking will be identical to mine …"Jessica no longer had the gall to remain here. She bit her lip and glared at Rebecca before storming out. Florence, who was still recording, ran after her. "Jessi, wait for me!"Jessica immediately lost control and started swearing as soon as she stepped out of Four Seasons. "That bitch! How dare she act so hig

Chapter 22 Seconds

"Happy birthday, Mrs. Winston." A crisp and clear voice drifted from the phone. For some reason, Daniel felt the rage which had been engulfing his senses the whole day dissipate on the spot upon hearing the birthday wishes.He raised his head to glance at his mother, who was still in the kitchen. Then, he said slowly, "I didn't expect you to remember Mom's birthday. Aren't you planning to drop by for a visit?"Silence ensued in the next second. In fact, all traces of noise disappeared from Rebecca's end of the line all of a sudden. Daniel pulled the phone away to glance at the screen, a frown gracing his features. It showed that he was still on the call."Rebecca?"The man was about to say something which would certainly ease the tension between him and Rebecca when he heard a series of beeps which echoed rhythmically. It appeared that Rebecca had hung up on him.The call had lasted for 29 seconds altogether.The frown on Daniel's face deepened as he stared at his screen, which g

Chapter 23 Pursuing a Divorcée

For a moment, Rebecca was rendered speechless by the suggestion. Still shell-shocked, she started thinking about ways to turn Rachel down politely. "Mrs. Winston, I know you adore me, but—""Why are you still calling me that? I'm getting upset now!" Rachel cut into Rebecca's sentence before the latter could even finish speaking.Then, the older woman continued, "Becca, I know that you resent us for what we've done, but can you please not be so eager to turn me down? We can talk more about the mother-daughter matter once you and Daniel are done with the legal divorce procedures. The thing is, you two have yet to go through the process, so it's not outrageous of me to request you to keep calling me Mom, right?"Rachel's tone was very soft and held a coaxing quality. One would find it difficult to turn her request down.However, Rebecca rejected the idea of becoming Rachel's daughter from the bottom of her heart. She decided to remain silent for now.The young woman didn't have the h

Chapter 24 A Dance Invitation From Ryan

Daniel happened to be driving when he received the picture. He glanced at his phone while waiting at a traffic light junction. Thanks to the playful message, he decided to pick up his phone. After that, the man found it difficult to rip his gaze away from the picture.An old sign which was clearly weathered over the years was covered by the halo of the neon lights. A charming woman clad in a custom-made dress stood in her heels with a black suit jacket draped over her shoulders. Her fair and slender arm was linked delicately with the arm of the man who was standing next to her. That picture looked more like a vintage movie poster depicting the city in the last century.Even though there was a significant distance between the photographer and the couple, Daniel could still recognize the woman even though the picture only showed the lower half of her beautiful face.Naturally, he could also recognize the man whom she was linking arms with. It was Sam Johnson, the president of XR Enter

The moment Ryan was about to touch the fabric hanging near Rebecca's hips, he felt himself getting launched over her shoulder before slamming onto the dance floor unceremoniously.Everyone was startled upon witnessing the scene, which resulted in a deafening silence.

Instead, she shot a look at Daniel, who stood far away from her.Then, she tore her gaze away before finally glancing down at Ryan, who was lying by her feet. A

Chapter 26 Not Having Rebecca’s Contact Number

"That's impossible!" Daniel denied that possibility on the spot. At the same time, he turned to look at the bustling dance floor instead of Ryan.He continued, "If I really liked her, why would I divorce her in the first place? As for the reason why I keep dragging the divorce out—"The man spun his glass around before leaning over to place it on the table. "Just think about it. News of our divorce has just spread, yet a bunch of suspicious people have already barged into her life. We're still childhood friends at the end of the day. I can't just sit by and let her walk into danger."Ryan was unhappy with that statement, as proven by his frown. He still had an unlit cigarette between his lips as he said, "I don't care if you slander other people, but why did I get dragged into this mess as well? Are we even best friends at this point?"Daniel shot Ryan a glance before huffing in response. "It's precisely due to how well I know you that I dragged your name through the mud as well."

At the same time, a chat box popped up on the monitor.Caleb: "Becca, have the videos been restored?"Becca: "Yup! They've been completely restored! Thank you for your help, Caleb!"Caleb: "It's nothing. Besides, you'd have completed this task without my help anyway. By the way, I got my hands on the security footage of that woman's accident as well as her medical records. You can take a look at them. Feel free to contact me whenever you need me."Rebecca received another email in her inbox.After downloading the contents, she clicked on the medical records.

Chapter 28 Playing Daniel Like a Fiddle

"How could you say that Four Seasons isn't to be blamed here? Let's talk about facts here!" the man with the metal baseball bat argued loudly.Rebecca looked down, clearly noticing the thing in the man's hands. A smile played on her lips at that moment. "Are you saying that you want to talk about facts?"He promptly hid his hand behind his back. The bat then clattered noisily against the cement ground, the loud sounds of ringing metal continuing to echo as the pipe rolled across the ground.Only when the bat got blocked by a stone in its way did it stop rolling, thus restoring silence to the scene.A moment later, the man swallowed loudly before reiterating, "Yes! Let's talk about facts!"Rebecca nodded in response. "Not a problem. Tell me, how is Four Seasons to be blamed?"Her nonchalance successfully reignited the flames of rage in the man's eyes. Now, he was brimming with confidence once more.How dare this woman and the kitchen staff think they were in the right? It was a s

"For those who have made reservations to dine here today and were affected by the temporary closure of our restaurant, you may come here anytime in the future with your reservation details. We'll serve you three of your favorite dishes for free. You may order anything as your freebies. The appreciation of culinary delicacies is very subjective. We at Four Seasons respect our customers' tastes and preferences. If your preferences truly clash with our food, you may select other dishes or even head to another restaurant.

Our business hours will remain the same. Those who have made dinner reservations can come over right now. You may change your reservation time as well. To the patrons and the people present, please take care of yourselves when you're traveling. We hope that we

Chapter 30 Seeking Sylvia Out

There was an image posted right above the message with the question. It showed Rebecca applying medicine to a wounded person at Four Seasons. However, no one chose to say anything about it.However, when Albert asked the question on the group chat, everyone started answering him right away.Ethan: "@Sam, let's not talk about what happened at the nightclub for now. It's fine for Becca to go there and have fun, seeing as she's an adult and all, but it's your fault for letting the media outlets write articles about her. There are tons of mixed opinions about her on the internet now. Need I mention that the Browns have their own team of specialists who can make things worse for Becca? Having her in the spotlight is an incredibly bad move."Alex: "Calm down, everyone. Caleb has already dealt with the news on the internet. Sam, you should reflect on yourself. Once I reach Riverwood, I hope that you can let me take over your duties as soon as possible."Caleb: "The man who danced with Bec
