It turned out that although Dave didn't believe what Reed had said, he was actually looking into Lita's past.Knowing this made Reed's mood a little better. She replied some what uninterested, "What does it have to do with me? After all, the Mitaka Family is a rich and powerful family. Is there any problem for them to investigate the soon to be wife of their heir?"The corridor was very dark and Reed couldn't see Lita's expression. Lita was silent for several seconds and Reed thought she had given up so she added, "If there's nothing else, I'll be heading inside now."However, just as she was about to walk away, Lita grabbed her arm and laughed strangely, "Reed Defiant, do you think you can take up my position in this way? I just want to tell you that you are simply daydreaming!"Then, she suddenly let go of Reed's arm and took two steps back as she shouted, "No, no! Help!"Then there was a loud noise in the dark corridor. The sound of someone rolling down the stairs resonated in t
At around dawn, Reed was awoken by the sound of an ambulance. She stood up from the ground and stretched whiles yawning. She looked around the parking lot for Dave's car. Knowing he was still in the hospital, she went to guard the main entrance.Not long after, Reed saw Dave's car coming out from the parking lot. She couldn't care less about anything else as she rushed straight up!The car was not driving fast and it stopped just when Dave saw Reed.Dave got out of the car and Reed walked up to him to explain the incident to him. All she wanted was for Dave to not go after Kim but as soon as she took a couple of steps, she felt dizzy for no reason. A second later, everything went dark and she passed out!By the time Reed woke up again, she was in a single ward. There was a woman in her fifties in the room. She knew at a glance that she was the servant of her grandma, Judith Defiant.Reed spoke weakly, "Stacy..."Stacy looked back and saw that she was awake.Stacy hurriedly said, "L
Judith then asked, "Reed, I heard from June that you spent the night with Dave on the wedding night, right?"I nodded my head in a daze, wondering why Judith would ask these questions.After that, Judith said, "According to June, after that day, although the matter had been cleared up, Lita hasn't moved to live with Dave."After hearing this, Helen immediately stood up and explained, "That's because Mr. Mitaka said that he owed Lita and he would like to find a good land to build the best house as Lita wishes so that they can live there."I felt a stinging pain in my heart for some reason.Dave indeed cared about Lita very much. How could his feelings for Lita be easily provoked by a few words of mine?However, Judith's next words shocked everyone, "Well, since Reed had spent the night with Dave. In that case, Reed should stay married to Dave."When I heard this, it took me five seconds to figure out what it meant.Helen and Thomas were the same. When I came to my senses, Helen stood
Seeing that I didn't speak, Dave increased the strength in his hand as if he was about to crush my chin. It hurts, but I bit my lips tightly to prevent myself from making a sound.Seeing that I didn't say anything, Dave said, "Reed Defiant, tell me, how did you fool the Head of the Defiant Family and managed to get her to speak up for you?"The strength in his hand grew stronger. He let go of my chin, grabbed my waist with his big palm, and was about to tear my clothes off directly!I was so angry that I struggled and finally shouted, "Don't..."He raised his hand and pressed a button then a black partition slowly rose between the front and rear seats of the car... As the division was completely raised, the rear seat had become a closed space.Regardless of my resistance, Dave didn't have any and he went straight into me.I was in so much pain that I finally couldn't help but scream out yet he still didn't stop.Because of the limited space in the back seat, he was half kneeling on
Reed's POV:I didn't go back to Dave's villa instead, I went back to Kim's house. Kim happened to be at home. Seeing how moody I was, she pestered for a reason. After countless questioning, I finally told her the truth.Knowing the whole event she asked, "Speaking of you grandmother, is she doing this for your own good or setting you up?""She's doing it for my own good." I had a positive answer for that. I believed that even if everyone was not doing it for my own good, she was.Kim nodded, placed her arm around my shoulders, and said, "Well, it's your day today. Let's go. I'll take you to have some good food."Although I couldn't bear to spend her money, I couldn't stop her........................We chose a hotpot restaurant. There were not many people in there. We soon found a place and ordered some hotpot alongside some beer. After rounds of drinking, I didn't seem to be in a bad mood anymore. We kept having fun till 12 a.m.Since it's been a while we both went out together
It was pay day today. Kim had already repeatedly told me early this morning that I should treat her to a meal after getting payed.In order to not let her wait, I got off work a bit earlier than usual which rarely happened.As soon as I walked out of the office building, a man in a suit came over and said politely, "Hello, Miss Defiant. I am Mr. Mitaka's driver. He asked me to pick you up."It was closing time and people around me looked at me with strange eyes.For a moment, I was in a trance, "Mr. Mitaka? Dave Mitaka? Why would he send someone to pick me up?"The driver explained, "The Chairman wants to see you, that is, Mr. Dave's grandfather."Thinking of the phone call from a month ago, I felt repulsion in my heart and also feared that Dave would insult me in front of his grandfather. However, I had no choice but to go.Helplessly, I followed the driver into the car.The driver took me to the DIOR Department Store first and gave me a Black Amex bank card, asking me to go in and b
The manager asked the lady what was going on.The lady said there was so many customers in the shop just now, when she turned back, she found that the bracelet was gone. She was so scared that she cried as she searched the shop and couldn't find it.Although the lady didn't say that it was me who took it, the fact that the bracelet was found in my bag had explained everything. I still explained to her, "I didn't take this. I don't know how it ended up in my bag."The manager glanced at me and said disdainfully, "Explain it to the police!"It was not until now that I really panicked!'I'm going to see Dave's grandfather with him today. If I get involved with the police because of this matter and get delayed, it is unknown how Dave's grandfather will think of me!' I thought, really scared.The manager asked the security guard to take me to the office on the first floor of the mall and then waited for the police to arrive.I struggled and didn't want to go with them.Lita stood aside an
The next morning, I took the morning off and went to the police station where I was charged with stealing.The answer they gave me was that it was a misunderstanding and that the case was closed so the monitor was not checked.I refused to deal with it this way. My reputation was at stake.With my repeated request as well as the involvement of Dave yesterday, the police dared not neglect me. An officer then headed to the mall with me.We found the manager and requested for the surveillance video from yesterday. The manager immediately agreed only for us to find out that the monitor was broken!The manager then said in an exaggerating tone, "Oh, why is the monitor broken? Get someone to repair it immediately."At that moment, I understood that Lita might have known I would come back to check the surveillance video.Of course, the monitor couldn't be repaired. The so called repairer failed to get it back on after a long 'fix'.I didn't want to give up. After the police left, I went to
I looked at Oogway and didn't know how to answer for a while.He turned to look at the ward and said, "I'm no longer young. I can distinguish what I am obsessed with."Although he didn't look at me, I could tell from his expression that he was serious.Which made me sure that what he had clung to was really not like what I thought.I also followed his gaze and looked into the ward.In the ward, Bryan was looking at us.When he found that I was looking at him, he forced a smile and waved at me.I waved back.When I thought of Bryan being fine soon, my heart, which had been hanging, gradually relieved.Oogway must have seen our interaction, so he let out a chuckle.When I turned my head to look at him, he happened to look at me as well.He leaned forward slightly and asked seriously, "Do you know why Dave agreed to marry the Defiant Family?"I was a little confused by him for mentioning this.Oogway saw through my doubts and continued, "Because I found Lita and told her about what happe
Oogway looked at me, and his eyes were cold.For the sake of Bryan, I couldn't care so much. I took the man's arm and said in a friendly tone, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I won't go to the bar again. Please forgive me."Oogway looked at me saying nothing.I didn't know what he meant.I stared at him quietly and didn't know what to do next.What else does he want me to do?My mind wandered, but I was already fully prepared for anything that could happen.After a while, Oogway put the ring in his pocket, stood up and said, "Let's go.""OK!"I thought he had forgiven me, so I hurried to follow him.We sat in his car together.The smell of alcohol lingered in his car.I was a little embarrassed but I didn't say anything.Oogway started the car and drove out of the community.The car drove for a while before I noticed that it didn't seem to be heading toward the City Hall, so I got nervous again and looked at Oogway, "Where are we going?""To pick up Bryan."He kept his eyes on the road as
Oogway picked me up and carried me into the car. I looked at him as he started the engine. I grabbed his arm and said, "I don't want to go home.""You don't?" He raised his eyebrows slightly."If I go back like this, they will be worried. Please help me... Call Kelvin and tell him I'll not go home today."I was so drunk. They will be worried about me if I went back. After all, I would not drink for no reason.Oogway nodded. I sat in the passenger seat and listened to him call Kelvin.When he hung up, he handed me the phone and started the car, "Is it okay to go to our home?"Our home?Oh, I know where it is.I nodded.I was going to be his wife anyway. That place was going to be our home in the future.I wouldn't be able to escape the reality.After a while, I fell asleep dazedly. However, maybe it was because I was in Oogway' car, I didn't sleep too deep.Not knowing how long had passed, I felt the car had stopped and he carried me.It was pitch black in front of me. I opened my e
In the evening, even the most prosperous place in the City was quiet. Around the high office buildings, there were only a few lights that were still on.I drove to the gate of Mitaka Group.I got out of the car and went to the entrance.The entrance had been closed. I wanted to go in, but a security guard came over and said, "It's closed."I looked up at the large building, except for the security room lights being on, the whole building was all dark.It seemed that Towering High was very kind to the employees, and there was not even a person working overtime.I didn't know what I wanted to do here. I hesitated for a moment, turned around and left.Back in the car, I continued driving.Finally, I found a lively place.On both sides of the road, rows of luxury cars were parked. At the entrance, the young men and women dressed in various kinds of clothes were chatting at the door, and some people were vomiting in the tree pits.Liquor.I wanted to drink.Perhaps if I was drunk, I would
Oogway put his arm around my waist and said to Teresa, "Miss Teresa, you are also a famous lady in this City. Whether in terms of social status or background, you are better than my Alina. But men love her, not you. Don't you think it's shameful? What are you still arguing for?"He made Teresa's face turn pale in a few words.She stared at Oogway and said with a fake smile, "Well, well, what's wrong with you? Do you believe she loves you and is willing to marry you just because she says? Tell you what, Oogway, she and Dave love each other no matter where they are!""Since you know it, what are you clinging to?"Oogway asked her.Teresa looked at Oogway and sneered. "Then what are you clinging to? We are all clinging to the same thing. Why do you ask me?"Hearing what Teresa said, Oogway's face was still calm.He drew back his hand, propped both elbows on the table, looked at Teresa and said slowly, "How do you know that we are clinging to the same thing?"Teresa suddenly became speech
Eunice lowered her head and kept silent, as if she was thinking.I didn't say anything more. I took the cup of fruit tea in front of me and took a sip.It was sour and sweet.When I put down the teacup, Eunice said, "Though I want to help you, it's just that his heart is no longer with me. He probably doesn't care about whether I live or die.""It's not like that." I looked at Eunice and said firmly, "Oogway has you in his heart, but he doesn't realize it, or... he is deceiving himself. What he needs is a process to know his heart."Eunice slightly nodded. "But that doesn't mean that he will give in to me.""I know." I smiled bitterly. "I'm sorry. In fact, I have already told him about your illness. I hope he can see his heart clearly. I have no choice."Eunice looked at me without saying a word.There was only silence.I said again, "I'm sorry." Eunice finally looked up at me and smiled. "If he let you go because of me and come back to me, then I am willing to be used by you."Euni
After hearing the name clearly, Oogway's eyes immediately showed some indifference. He folded his legs, put his hands on his knees, looked at me, and said in a very alienated voice, "So what?"I was not beaten back by his state. I continued, "Eunice got uterus cancer."When I said those words, Oogway frowned slightly.Then, I added another two words, "Stage 2."Oogway's expression obviously relaxed a little but he said only one word, "Oh."Seeing that he was relaxed, I hurriedly continued, "But when I saw her today, her assistant told me that she was not willing to be treated, because once treated she might not be able to conceive. She has always held the hope of getting pregnant.""That's her business."Unwilling to let it go, I continued, "Then have you ever thought about the fact that for an excellent woman like Miss Eunice, there must be a lot of men who wanted to be with her, even with her legs were disabled. But has been single all these years?""That's her business."Oogway sa
Brianna snorted at my oath.But it didn't mean that she didn't believe what I said.She looked at me with a serious look."What are you going to do then? Are you really going to marry him?""I don't know." I shook my head and said, "But no matter what, I can't watch Bryan die.""I..."I looked at Brianna. "You are also a mother. You know how it feels. I can not give up Bryan."Hearing this, Brianna sighed heavily."Oogway, Oogway, to be honest, we have been on guard against him all the time, but we didn't expect that he took a shot at you."I looked at Brianna and said seriously, "Auntie, I really love Dave. I hope to be with him for the rest of my life. I believe he loves Bryan and me as well. But I may not be able to be with him in this lifetime. If you two hate me, I won't blame you.""Alas!" Brianna sighed again. "I know my child best. He really loves you deeply. If you marry Oogway, he will take you back by all means necessary.""I will be done with him." I clasped my hands toget
Halfway through the dinner, I was tired. I went to the big sofa in the corner of the hall to rest. I stayed for a while and headed to the restroom.When I came out, a woman's scream came from the corridor!I was so frightened that I thought something happened, so I walked over quickly.I found that there was a baby hypertension room. When I was about to push the door and go in, a pleasant male voice came from inside."Don't you like this excitement?"It was Bleak.Anita.Actually I didn't have a habit of eavesdropping, but because the other side was them, I couldn't help but stand a little longer.I heard Anita say shyly, "But if you don't lock the door, in case others think there is no one inside, they will come in directly...""Then you should shout louder, and let them know that there are people inside." Bleak's voice was mixed with gasps.What they were doing speaks for itself.I was wondering what kind of deep grudge Bleak had with the Mitaka Family.Even a women like Anita, who
