"What are you doing?"The bowl, still filled with oatmeal, landed in front of Serena. It startled her."I already said that I wasn't talking about you. Everybody is free now. Can't I gossip about a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry? Are you trying to put yourself into the shoes of that Z-list actress, Ms. Johnson?" Rebecca stared at her coldly, and her voice was indifferent. "How dare you speak ill of my friend before me? How dare you mock her? I could have splashed that bowl of oatmeal on your face. You deserve that. Serena, you should be grateful that you started this after I had finished breakfast."Serena couldn't argue with that. Rebecca's cold demeanor left her speechless.She might have been in for a lot more than just a bowl of oatmeal if she had started this conversation while Rebecca was eating.The intense coldness in Rebecca's gaze overwhelmed Serena. She dared not utter a word.She was shocked to her core, and her mind was screaming at her. Rebecca had

However, humans tend to be selfish. Henry still wanted to give it a try.After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Rebecca."Becca, don't you think it's a waste to hide your talent from the world? Your grandfather hopes you can display your capabilities by entrusting Gourmet Haven to you. You can also rely on Gourmet Haven ...""But, Uncle, I don't need it."Rebecca ruthlessly interrupted him.The truth always hurt the most because it could shatter one's fantasies.She could rely on the Johnsons. Why would she take on the trouble of becoming a chef at Gourmet Haven?Was it all for the sake of preserving the family's past glory?Henry fell silent. He felt somewhat disheartened.A past memory suddenly flashed across his mind.Rebecca glanced at her disappointed uncle and pursed her lips.She could understand the adults' kind gesture, but she didn't want to sacrifice herself. On top of that, she wasn't confident she could handle the job well."I'm sorry, Uncle. I'm being self

As Maxwell had said on the phone, he arrived two minutes later.He had overheard their conversation on the phone and had an inkling of what was happening. So, he hurried to the hospital.When he arrived at the scene, a doctor was drawing Rebecca's blood.Maxwell clenched the report in his hand and frowned. "I thought we agreed I would do this?"Feeling the cold needle pierce her vein, Rebecca clenched her fist. The momentary pain subsided, and she didn't feel much after that. She squeezed a softball in her hand and smiled at Maxwell, who had a concerned expression. "It's alright. I'm Oliver's aunt, so it's only right that I go first. We can do it together if you're willing to do it with me." Maxwell watched as the blood slowly flowed into the bag. He pursed his lips lightly.Then, he sat beside Rebecca and offered to have his blood drawn.He was a man of his word.Even though the young woman across from him insisted on being brave, he didn't mind accompanying her.While the

"I ..."Wendy was still confused. It seemed like she hadn't fully processed all the information.Just as she was about to speak, she saw Rebecca walking toward them from the other end of the corridor. She seemed to be in a rush. It must be about Oliver, but she couldn't shout in the hospital. So, she came in person.Albert also noticed this and decided to interrupt Wendy. "Wendy, take your time to think about it. Let's go check on Ollie first. I won't force you if you don't want to change your mind. But I still hope you can come visit Ollie occasionally so that he knows his mother loves him and cares for him."As Albert finished speaking, Wendy's emotions crumbled. Tears streamed down her eyes uncontrollably. Yet, she couldn't say a word. She could only express everything with her tear-filled eyes.Of course, she was willing to do that.What mother wouldn't want to openly stand by her child? Who would want to spy on their kids from the shadows like a thief, fearing that their u

The news eventually reached Rookfort.After receiving the news, Zelda finally dispelled the haze she developed since Oliver's injury. She started planning Sam's wedding as Ollie was recovering from his injury.Good things always came consecutively. Wendy was exposed as Oliver's real mother. Ever since then, Wendy's relationship with Oliver began to get on the right track. Their relationship was so sweet that Zelda found it sickening at times.They were discussing letting the brothers marry on the same day. They couldn't finalize a decision because of Oliver's injury and the Lowe family.Regardless, marrying the Lowe family was a done deal.As Sam's mother, Zelda was thinking about whether to visit Riverwood.It was a wedding, after all. She couldn't forget proper etiquette, especially as the groom's mother.Rebecca asked Liam for advice. Zelda had been in a good mood these days. Coupled with dietary modifications, traveling long distances shouldn't be a problem. Everything shoul
