Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 801 - Bab 810

However, she didn't dwell on her thoughts for too long.The words of encouragement from her classmates were straightforward and powerful, but they were also as subtle as a gentle breeze.They tacitly avoided mentioning the unhappy past and only discussed homework or study materials with each other.The words written on little pieces of paper or their notebooks became their little secrets.At that time, Susan would read those cards every time she finished an exam to deal with exhaustion after a long day. Or, in the early morning, when there were only one or two people in the classroom, she would sneakily glance at those words before burying herself in textbooks again.She adjusted her attitude well, as if she were a carefree child.When June arrived, she suddenly acted like a normal teenager. She joked with her classmates and even helped them with questions about homework.Having dominated first place in her class for a long time, she was always the standout student.No one coul

Disclosing one's family background to the leader and laying bare one's personal history essentially meant surrendering one's vulnerabilities and weaknesses into the hands of a superior.Having knowledge of her situation, her superior later exploited this information. Under the guise of being 'kind' to her, she was assigned all the dirty and arduous tasks.She was given money, but it was not much.It was like she was working in this first company and doing all the jobs, but her superiors took most of the credit.She would then get the slightest bit of credit.In the end, she ended up in the hospital because of over-exhaustion.Perhaps startled by her sudden collapse at work, her superior finally seemed to have a conscience after a few days. Her superior showed some concern and inquired about her well-being. It might also be influenced by recent media reports on sudden employee deaths that made her superior fear the loss of a laborer who essentially did her bidding without compla

As someone who had climbed the ranks to department management in the workplace, how could she not understand people's words? Yet, she chose to play dumb.When others praised her for being a good daughter, she would casually respond that it was only natural. If they tried to involve their own children in the conversation, she would simply smile without giving much of a response.In the past, she might have entertained a comment or two and acknowledged the success of their children who chose not to return to their hometowns. However, as time went on, she saw through the gossip. What did this gossip have to do with her?Were they expecting her to help ensure their children were filial?Susan only cared about her own matters.The cost of living in the small town wasn't high, and her savings could cover her daily expenses. Moreover, by working on poverty alleviation projects with fellow entrepreneurs in the village, she successfully shed the label of being a poverty-stricken household.

Susan sat up from the bed.She habitually looked for her bag to touch up her makeup before realizing that she was forcefully brought here, so she didn't bring anything with her.The good thing was that there were some daily necessities in the room here. Although it was small, it was filled with things that were needed.She took some tissue and went to the basin to clean her face.Rebecca got up from the bed and leaned by the pillar beside as she watched her. "I'm sorry because you got into this mess because of me."Susan wiped away the traces of tears on her face and turned to smile at Rebecca. "Didn't you negotiate with those people already? I should be thanking my lucky stars to have met you and gotten to this new place, right? Don't you want me to be grateful?"Rebecca furrowed her brows and shook her head. "I just stated my identity. I don't know how they will ultimately react. So ... I'm still sorry."When Beardo heard her words and left, he might not have checked her ident

At the entrance stood a robust, well-built man with a foreign face and a clean-shaven look.His fierce and menacing demeanor made it clear that crossing him wouldn't be a wise choice."Are you David's woman?" The man swaggered in while carrying something indistinct. His attitude was brash.Rebecca assessed him from head to toe before stepping forward."You are wrong. I belong to myself, and I'm not anyone's possession. If you came to inquire if I am his woman, the answer is no."She positioned herself in front of Susan, while effectively shielding her from the man's attention. "Let me introduce myself. I am Rebecca, daughter of Kenneth Johnson from Rookfort. Albert Johnson of the MRC Group is my elder brother. And Sam Johnson from XR Entertainment is my brother, too."As she spoke, the man at the entrance remained unresponsive. However, a soft hiss came from behind.Rebecca glanced at it peripherally but maintained her composure. She raised her gaze to lock eyes with the man bef
