I was a little hesitant however, knowing I hadn't found a lawyer yet, I knew if it was Oogway who introduced a lawyer to me, they probably would give me a discount so I said shamelessly, "Yes, I haven't gotten one yet."Oogway called me in. Only then did I know that this lawyer was Harry Necton, an ace lawyer of Nommy Law Firm.After entering the office, I told Harry the situation and he nodded."No problem. I can take this case.""Then regarding the lawyer's fee..." I didn't expect Harry to agree but then again I was afraid he would charge a high price.Before Harry could respond, Oogway said first, "I give you so much money every year and I never turn to you at all some times. This case is on the hospital.""You don't have to." I said first.Harry glanced at Oogway and hesitated for a moment then said, "It's the first time I've seen you make a request for a woman. For the sake of you being an old bachelor, I'll count it as your case this time."I wanted to oppose however, Oogway an

Standing at the side, Haick watched me disregard his drawing and opened a new interface to work on.He smiled bitterly, "You! You indeed haven't changed at all. I saved the previous version of your drawing for you.""Thank you." Following his words, I found the previous version of my drawing.If he hadn't saved the previous version of my drawing, I would have drawn a new one or give up the design competition. Never would I have taken part in the contest with the drawing designed by him. Comparing his modified version with mine, I felt there was indeed a lot of gap between his and mine.Staring at what I had drawn, I smiled bitterly, "I'd better delete it and figure out a new one."Haick shook his head and sat next to me, "Come on. Let me tell you where your problem lies."That night, Haick gave me a lot of guidance.Although I didn't have time to modify the drawing, I recorded his instructions one by one.It wasn't until he finished talking that I remembered to ask, "Why are you here

A week later, the results came out.There was a site for the design competition. When I logged onto the site, I found that I was ranked at 52. However, only the top 50 can pass the preliminary contest.I, who wasn't satisfied with my own work, knew I probably wouldn't pass the preliminary contest. Even so, when I saw I could have passed if I had beaten the other two contestants, I was still a little disappointed.Hearing many others congratulating Amelia, I scrolled up the page and found she ranked 32nd.Amelia walked to me and looked at my web page. She then said with a smile, "Reed Defiant, you are the most diligent one on usual days. Most customers write letters to our company, praising you. Why couldn't you even pass the preliminary session?""I am not as good as you.""Hahaha, you indeed have self awareness." Amelia returned to her seat while laughing.Not long after, I received a text message from Haick, "I saw the result of the preliminary contest. Sorry, I didn't give you the

Desmond put out the car engine and got out of the car. He looked at me with admiration, "Well done! Reed. I didn't expect you to be this powerful!""500,000 dollars." I spread my hand out to him."I surely meant my words." Desmond happily ran to the car planning to write a cheque.Originally I was joking but I didn't expect Desmond would take my words seriously and hand me a cheque.I simply couldn't imagine what a rich man's world would be like.Seeing that he tore off the cheque and wanted to give it to me, I waved my hand, "I don't want it. I'll be grateful to you if you don't pester Kim in the future."After that, I walked in the direction of the law firm.As soon as I took two steps forward, I saw Harry and Oogway standing at the entrance of the law firm looking at me.Harry first clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be such a bold and scheming person, Miss Defiant.""No, no."I was just dealing with someone shameless in a rogue way. I didn't expect t

Dave took me to the top floor of Mensvic Restaurant.The night lights were set up around us.The weather wasn't hot in April. As the cold breeze blew gently past us, I felt good.Dave asked me to order the dishes but I still said, "Up to you."Soon, the dishes were served.Admittedly, the dishes in Mensvic Restaurant were indeed delicious. After we finished the main course and dessert was served, I looked up at Dave, "Let's have a good talk."Dave interrupted me, "Have a taste of this first. The dessert here is also very delicious."His expression was gentle but I felt he seemed to be interrupting me on purpose.I lowered my head, looked at the cake in front of me, and took a bite of it. At first, it tasted bitter, then, it was sweet.It was just like the relationship between Dave and I.As I recalled the past, I found that every step I had taken seemed to leave me with pain and scars. However, for no reason, I always faintly remembered a wonderful memory.I took a bite of the cake an

After we arrived at the Hospital, I went up to see Judith with Dave following behind me.I stood outside the ICU and watched Judith quietly lying there with her eyes closed. She, who was still the same as what I had seen every day, didn't have any changes at all.Dave stood behind me and said, "My grandfather came to see her earlier.""Grandpa Mitaka?" I turned to look at Dave in surprise."Yes." Dave nodded, "After Lita intended to jump off the building, Grandma Judith specifically called my grandfather and told him about this marriage but my grandfather refused."It is understandable.Lita tried to hurt me back then and I exposed her plagiarism as a result, Jamin thought ill of both of us. The way I see it, he surely wouldn't agree to choose either of us to be his daughter in law."However, after Grandpa came to see Grandma Judith here, he changed his mind and personally summoned Lita and I to his home, saying he has agreed to our marriage."After Dave finished his words, my heart t

Lita raised her head and looked at Dave with tears streaming down her cheeks, "Dave, what's going on?" Then she turned to me. "Reed, why did you guys lie..."Hearing this, Thomas also got angry as he said, "Reed Defiant, it was you who made the request for Dave to marry Lita. Dave, you also agreed back then. What's wrong with you two now?""Dad, forget it. It's all my fault. I'm the extra one in this relationship. I should die..."As Lita said so, she wanted to run away.Thomas grabbed her. He, who couldn't hit me, could only stare at me and said, "Reed Defiant, we shouldn't have had you! You've done so many shameless things over the years. Your grandmother loves you the most but you bribed the doctor to hurt her and now you're interfering with Lita's marriage!"With just a few words, he made me a heinous person.I couldn't help but think of what Harry had told me yesterday. How could it be so coincidental that just as Lita intended to jump off the building, someone came to take my b

At this time, Thomas and Comfort both came over.The situation of Lita's car was more serious than that of Dave's. The airbag in her car was also out with blood everywhere in the front. The front of her car was severely totaled.When Lita was carried out, her face was covered with blood with a large sized cut on her forehead.Seeing Dave being wheeled inside, I followed the doctors only to be stopped by Thomas.He grabbed my arm tightly and stared at me fiercely, "Reed Defiant, if anything happens to Lita, you will pay with your life!""Mr. Thomas, feel free to threaten me."I rolled my eyes at Thomas and continued walking inside.Dave and Lita were both sent to the emergency room.Not long after, the lights of Dave's emergency room went out. I quickly stood up and saw him being pushed out.When I walked over, I saw Dave had his eyes slightly opened but his left hand was fixed with a few boards.When he saw me, he smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, I'm fine."His words almost ma

Soon, we arrived at the floor where Jessica's ward lay. When we went over, a nurse happened to come out of it. Upon seeing us, she greeted Oogway respectfully, "Dean Oogway.""Yes." Oogway nodded and asked, "How's Miss Jessica?"After Jessica was transferred here, Oogway completed the registration for her under the name of Jessica Drake.As for this, I didn't raise any objections about it. Because in my opinion, the Newman Family no longer regarded her as a family member.The nurse replied, "The patient has fallen asleep. I measured her temperature just now. It's normal. This afternoon, we examined her, only to find that she is seriously malnourished. She suffers from a low degree cataract in her eyes. More heinously, there are parasites inside her body. Besides..."Standing there, the nurse told us about the situation of Jessica roughly.Hearing the ins and outs, Kelvin looked serious on the side.Oogway asked, "Can we go in and have a look at her?""Yes. But she has fallen asleep. H

Kelvin spoke loudly over the phone.Moreover, it was pretty quiet inside the car. Oogway seemed to hear his words and glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes, "Is Mr. Kelvin coming over?"I nodded.Oogway immediately said, "Then I'll arrange a room for him on the top floor of the rehabilitation center.""Well, sorry to trouble you."I was grateful for Oogway's attentiveness.As we were about to arrive home. I suddenly remembered something and said to Oogway, "Can you take me somewhere?""Yes, I can." Oogway nodded.I got an address online and sent it to him.Oogway immediately turned the car around and drove there with me.As he turned the car around, he raised his hand and looked at me with some displeasure, saying, "In the future, wherever you want to go, just tell me directly. You don't have to ask my opinion first. I will always be available for you."I nodded. Only after that did I tell him where I was going.It was a light and textile market selling cloth and hand made craf

I went up and supported Jessica readily. Fearing that she wouldn't accept it, I said, "Aunt, can I bathe you? By the way... I can bathe your baby too.""It sounds good!" Jessica accepted it happily.All the nurses looked at me with strange looks.Ignoring the looks, I stepped forward and helped Jessica take a bath.The rehabilitation center of the Way Hospital was in a good condition. There was a Jacuzzi. After I finished pouring the water into the bath, I let Jessica sit inside.I cleaned up the doll first. Seeing that, Jessica became quite obedient.I bathed her with scented soap first and then rubbed her with a bath towel little by little.It had been a long time since Jessica took a bath, making her body covered with a layer of shell like and hard skin. Seeing so, I asked Oogway to fetch me some white vinegar. After that, I bathed her bits by bits.Sensing that the water turned cold, I scooped the cold water out with a basin and added hot water in.Because it had been years sinc

I stood still and said to her, "We won't do that. We... we'll transfer you and your child to a better place. She... She..." I hesitated for a moment and said, "She is all grown up. And she will have to go to school soon. It's not good for her to be here. She has to go to a better place where there are teachers to impart her knowledge, which is good for her."Upon hearing this, Jessica stared at me with her pair of clear and bright eyes as if she had understood my words and suddenly became as obedient as a child, saying, "Really? Is it true that someone will teach her?""Yes, it is true. The teacher is great and experienced. Any child who follows him can learn a lot and become smart." I tried to persuade her.Jessica nodded desperately, "Okay, okay. That will be so great." She looked at the doll in her arm, "Reed, did you hear that? You can learn soon.""Yes, yes." I echoed. And my tears kept falling.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go transfer her to another

The nurse took us inside and said, "To be honest, before you, nobody visited the patients here. Generally speaking, the reason why people send patients here is that they have a guilty conscience. They are too embarrassed to kill them and yet find them a burden. So they send them here and pay for their stay here to keep their conscience at bay."The more the nurse said, the more upset I felt.It was quiet on the fifth floor as well.I saw that there was a small window on the door of each ward. With the window high up on the door, someone my height couldn't see what was inside.However, Oogway was taller. He looked around with a frown and a dignified look on his face.Seeing him look like this, I was worried."Bang!" When we were going, a sound rang all of a sudden.I was so frightened that I shrank backward and looked at the door where the noise came from, only to find a face attached tightly to the window on the door.The face was black, dirty, and skinny.The pair of eyes above were

Oogway and I arrived at the gate together.As expected, there was a security guard at the gate . We went over and saw the old security guard laying there in a thick military green overcoat, listening to music.The sound of the music was quite loud.It wasn't until we called him for a long while that he heard us.Looking at us in discontent, the old guard got up and opened the window of the gatehouse, leaving it ajar."Hello, we want to...""No visit is allowed during the New Year."As soon as I opened my mouth, the guard snapped. After that, he closed the window.He was afraid that we would harass him. Then he locked the window from inside.I became anxious all of a sudden.Oogway beside me wasn't in a hurry at all.He reached out, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a stack of pink banknotes before putting them in front of the window.The security guard's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the money. Instead of opening the window, he came out directly from the gatehouse, o

I glanced at it and found that there seemed to be an inkstone in the first box.But what was different was that the inkstone wasn't black but red.I was confused. However, as soon as the Master of the Newman Family saw this, his hands began to tremble. Placing his hand a few meters away from the inkstone, he seemed to intend to touch it but dared not do so.After a long while, he asked, "Is this for me?""Of course, it is a red silk inkstone I got by chance. I don't know about this kind of inkstones. It will be a waste if I keep it by my side."Oogway said casually.Although he spoke lightly, I could tell that this inkstone should be quite rare."Thank you, Mr. Oogway." When the Master spoke, he had been staring at the inkstone. It wasn't until a long time later that he gently caressed it with his hands.His expression showed that he loved it so much that he couldn't bear to let it go.After that, Oogway said to the maid, "Open this too."Hearing his words, the maid opened the secon

There was a cold and determined look in his eyes. Confirming that he wouldn't say it, I wouldn't force him further.Moreover, I knew well that I couldn't control what they were going to do.What I could do was to protect Bryan well in case he would get hurt.I nodded lightly, "Okay. Then I'll go and accompany Bryan."As soon as I intended to open the door, Dave directly pulled me from behind with force. I was caught off guard and fell backward.The next second, I directly sat in Dave's arms.My face turned red. And I said, "No." I struggled to get up. However, Dave restrained me firmly in his arms and placed his other hand on my waist. Holding my waist with both hands, he said to me, "Turn around.""No. I'm leaving.""You can't." Dave refused.I closed my eyes, thinking about Oogway's words and my own identity.Although I wanted to be closer to Dave, I couldn't do it with my identity.I was Oogway's fiancee. Regardless of the excuse, the identity, or the reason. I made up my mind,
The CEO's Switched Bride Chapter 407
It was night. Even so, I could clearly feel Oogway kept staring at me closely with his pair of profound eyes.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and left.After he left, Bryan, who had been following Dave, suddenly ran over, "Mom, let's set off fireworks together!""Ah... Okay." I nodded.At this moment, Jamin, who had been standing outside all this while, turned around and entered the room.In the blink of an eye, only the three of us were outside the house.We set off most of the fireworks. By the time it was 1 a.m., Bryan was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Thus, we stopped setting off the fireworks.The maid took the fireworks into the room.Holding Bryan in my arms, I said to Dave, "Then we will go back."After that, I turned around, intending to ask the driver to drive us back, only to be suddenly pulled by Dave. Then, I heard his magnetic voice, "Stay here tonight."My heart thumped."Being here without Oogway.. Won't that mean..."In fact, I didn't want to leave a
