"Parents cannot be chosen, it is simply fate! Why should I feel guilty?" Joey's eyes flickered with unease."If you're not guilty, then why haven't you given them Penelope's address?""Because..." Joey gripped the steering wheel. "She has already left Johnsonville. I do not know where she has gone.""I knew you were not that kind-hearted."Didn't she claim that her vast network could find Penelope in any city?I wanted to throw some sarcastic remarks her way, but upon seeing her start the car, I simply said, "From what I know about them, if they cannot find Penelope, they will pester you non-stop. Your days will not be easy.""They will bother you too, their blood relative! Let us see how you handle it!""Just take care of yourself. My affairs are none of your concern."The car started moving slowly. I took a step back, standing straight. "If their harassment becomes too much and you cannot handle it, you can come to me.""You want me to beg you for a solution? After all the t

"You're the chief editor of a magazine. You can use your resources to expose how my uncle and aunt mistreated and exploited Penelope over the years," I suggested."There are many families with internal conflicts and abusive dynamics. People just need to work harder to overcome their circumstances. I don't see anything newsworthy in this, and it doesn't help my situation at all," Joey responded dismissively."Escaping an abusive family isn't as easy as you think," I countered. For some people, their family is a nightmare. "You called my uncle and aunt to Johnsonville to trap Penelope, but it backfired and caused you trouble. Nowadays, people like to read stories that expose injustice and provide relief. If you write about the awful things my uncle and aunt have done from your perspective, readers will be interested.""You want me to portray myself as the villain in this story?" Joey asked skeptically.Given her past actions, she did fit the role of a typical antagonist."People are

"You're just stating the facts. Don't let online trolls get to you. Focus on finding a job and living well."Whenever I spoke with Penelope, it felt like she was surrounded by people with sad stories, hiding away in her own world to heal her wounds. I wanted to rescue her from that world, but I was afraid that my attempts might have unintended consequences. So, the best I could do was to offer support without disrupting her life too much.Joey worked swiftly, and the newspaper featuring Penelope's story was published the following day. The article cleverly disguised Penelope's real name and was divided into three parts: beginning, middle, and end.Joey was better at evoking emotions than I was. She took the material I provided and added dramatic flair to make Penelope's story even more heart-wrenching. For example, she described how Penelope was left alone at home without warm clothing in the midst of winter while her aunt and uncle indulged in gambling. Penelope shivered as she wen

Stephen, a highly accomplished lawyer at a prestigious firm, would undoubtedly be the best choice to maximize Penelope's benefits. However, he is busy and expensive, and I lack the influence to ask for his help on Penelope's behalf."You have a busy schedule. Let me handle the lawyer situation," I assured her."Okay.""Jen..." Penelope hesitated."If there's something you need to say, go ahead. Don't hold back."Penelope was usually respectful of boundaries, but her hesitation made me worry that she might be facing another difficulty that she didn't want to burden me with."Are you Mr. Walker's assistant?""You already knew that. Why are you asking now?" I was puzzled."Your boss seems really great. He's good-looking, straightforward, and very successful.""Yes, he is."Although his attitude towards the person he likes is quite perplexing!Penelope's hesitant praise of Luke made me suspect that she might have a crush on him. She witnessed Joey's interview with Luke, so she s

Felfast's new car received high praise from famous racers who detailed its impressive performance. Even before the launch event concluded, orders for the vehicle started pouring in. Felfast took the initiative to update the sales data in real-time online for easy tracking. While some orders might have come from supportive friends, the extensive publicity and impressive performance of the car indicated that sales would likely be strong.Mr. Henderson, the marketing manager who had previously spoken dismissively about the car, now had a flushed face and lowered his head in embarrassment. Luke's gaze swept over him, causing him to bow even lower in shame."Mr. Dawson, what do you think are the strengths of this vehicle?" Luke leaned back in his chair, appearing slightly more relaxed than before.Mr. Dawson, the head of sales, noticed this and ventured, "I don't see anything special about this car. If our R&D team works a bit harder, we can definitely produce a superior model. Our previ
