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

    Looking at Dave, I wanted to mention what had happened just now but I felt it would be so sentimental and pretentious of me.By all means, Lita was Dave's fiancee. There was nothing wrong with him asking Evangel to check on Lita's situation.That afternoon, as I accompanied Dave, the thought of him asking Evangel to check in on Lita made me feel sour.I wanted to ask him but I didn't know how to. I wanted to leave it be but I couldn't let it go.That evening, Dave asked Evangel to send us to the underground garage of the residential quarter. After getting out of the car, I headed for my building however, Dave got closer and wrapped me with his one arm, "Luv, look at my injured hand. It's not convenient for me to do anything by myself."As he said this, he tried to make me walk in the direction of his apartment."Don't you have servants at home?""Yes." Dave paused then he looked at me with an ambiguous look in his eyes, "But if I want to take a bath, I can't let the servants help me.

    I helped Dave get dressed. This time, I chose a shirt with loose sleeves so he could wear it freely.We arrived at the Hospital not long after.In the elevator, I held onto Dave's arm on purpose.When the door of the elevator opened, Helen was standing not far off. When she saw Dave, her face lit up with joy but when she noticed me, the joy on her face turned into anger. She pointed at me and scolded, "Reed Defiant, why are you here?""Helen, I slept with him on the same bed. I was awakened by your call so I came here with him." I said in an alienated way.At this time, Helen was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "Reed Defiant! You b*tch, if it weren't for you, my Lita wouldn't have become like this!"As she spoke, she rushed over to me.Dave pushed her with his right hand, causing Helen to stumble. She took a few steps backward and supported herself against the wall so she wouldn't fall to the ground.She looked at Dave with disbelief on her face, "Mr. Mitaka, Lita loves you

    Dave hesitated for a moment then he suddenly pulled me over and held me in his arm, "What you remember is false. It wasn't you who I was supposed to marry at that time instead, it was Reed.""Mr. Mitaka, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Helen was stunned.She came over and held me, trying to pull me out of Dave's arms but Dave's strength was so strong that she couldn't pull me at all.Dave turned his head slightly and glanced at Helen, "Since she has lost her memory, then rebuild her memory. It's good for everyone.""But..."Helen's face was full of surprise. She didn't think Dave would do this but I felt it was clearly a good thing for Dave to have said so.If Lita really lost her memory..."Is it... Is it true?" Lita looked at Helen with doubts in her eyes.Of course, there were tears in her eyes as well.It was as if she couldn't accept reality."Well.." Helen hesitated for a moment and then said, "Yes.""You're lying to me!"When Lita heard this, she suddenly burst in

    Scarlett quietly pouted and said, "Alas, you don't care about me at all. I was ranked 51 at that time and you were 52!"As soon as I heard it, I was suddenly enlightened.Two people did plagiarism at that time and the other person who was lucky enough to enter the intermediary match was Scarlett Benson.Scarlett wasn't shrewd at all. She, who was leaning on the table, told me about her thoughts repeatedly. I, whose mind was blank, just echoed a few words.As we were discussing quietly, Amelia came over and rolled her eyes at us, "I advise you not to waste your efforts. Anyway, there are only six places available and you two, who are always at the bottom, can't get in.""Even so, we are better than the ones being disqualified because of plagiarism!" Scarlett responded.Amelia's face instantly became ugly as she said, "Hmph! It is just that some of the elements were the same. It's obvious that the referee was too narrow minded! I wonder whether it was because they wanted to make Reed p

    When I no longer looked at the computer screen, I saw the reporters all looking at me with different looks in their eyes. It seemed that each of their looks was meaningful.Some seemed to be waiting to make fun of me. And others seemed to be waiting to mock me.This made me even more certain that I wouldn't have an easy time later.To prevent them from sensing my cowardice, I straightened up my back, trying to look calm as much as I could.Finally, it was 10 a.m.At this time, Matt hadn't yet appeared still.At this moment, Loraine walked to the platform in front of her. Sitting down, she said, "Thank you all for coming."After that, she introduced me to everyone and the purpose of the press conference today.I greeted everyone, "Hello, I am Alina Jetson as well as Reed Defiant."I didn't want to hide my identity anymore.At this time, the reporters under the stage all showed that they were all watching a good show.Judging from their expressions, they all seemed to be waiting for th

    At this time, the phone had been hung up, and my heart was pounding. I was afraid that he would know that I was going to hold a press conference privately tomorrow.I was afraid that he would blame me for hiding the contact with Matt from him.My feelings were extremely complicated. However, the man was at the door.I went downstairs and opened the door.Dave stood at the door, only wearing a thin suit coat. Under his slightly messy hair, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles under his eyes.He had food in his hand.He must have had a wearing journey. At first glance, it could be seen that he had hurried to come over as soon as he got off the plane.Looking at his appearance, my heart was filled with guilt, and I felt that I shouldn't have hidden it from him.At least, I should tell him.But now things had been proceeding, I didn't even have the courage to say it.Dave entered the room and put the food on the table. He reached out his hands and took me in his arms. Pu

    I suppressed the excitement in my heart, "What is it?"In fact, if only Matt told the story by himself, it would be not convincible as there was no evidence.Then it needed to be testified by someone else, or by some evidence which Matt had kept for himself.Matt was in a conflicting emotion which can be seen from his face. "In fact, I also recorded what happened at that time."Haha.Recording was really a good method.I was relieved hearing this. I put my hands on the table and seriously asked him, "Which do you think will be more disadvantageous to you? The exposure of having an affair with the director's wife or of doing something wrong for your child?"In fact, I felt that both of them were almost the same. However, the latter seemed to be slightly better than the former.Matt looked at me. Instead of answering, he asked reluctantly, "How many videos and recordings do you have? Where did these things come from?""I have four altogether." I thought for a moment and said, "I asked s

    Because it was at night without heavy traffic, Dave arrived soon.I followed Dave back to No.1, but I still didn't tell him about the videos after hesitating several times.However, I beat him around the bush and it turned out that Dave knew nothing about that.Then, who sent those files to me?Soon, I thought of another person, Oogway.I realized that meeting him this afternoon wasn't a coincidence.Since the previous incident, I realized that there were not so many coincidences in the world. All the coincidences might be set by others.I remembered what Oogway said before I got in the taxi?Was he really making up for his mistake?His deed has nothing to do with me, but I need these documents now.The next morning, Dave went to work.Before he went out, he told me that he needed to go abroad for a business trip, which would take about a week.Originally, I planned to go straight to meet Matt that day. However, after thinking for a while, I gave up.I took my laptop to Judith's house

  • The CEO's Switched Bride   Chapter 449

    I went to Judith's home. I didn't know why I felt more relaxed here than elsewhere, as if I belonged here.Or, only in here, I can really let go of things.I was preoccupied with the matters concerning Judith's death.I called Marie and told her all the ins and outs of this matter. I wanted to see if her husband Jerrold can check whether there was any report about this.After that, I searched for the list of associate directors of the Hospital.I had also come in contact with grandma's attending doctor at that time, so I should have some impression.There were four associate directors in the hospital. I scanned them roughly and soon focused on a photo of an associate director named Matt Parma!'That's him!' I told myself!"My grandmother's attending physician was this man."I looked at the doctor's resume from the Internet again. He was the youngest among all the associate directors. In comparison to other associate directors, he should be the most inexperienced.How could he be an a

    We walked to my house. I took the elevator to go up, and Dave followed.When I reached the upper floor, I did not look at my door first, but at Oogway's.Oogway and I started from being neighbors. Then I thought perhaps everything was not just a coincidence.It was planned by him.I walked out of the elevator and opened the door with the key. Then I went in and found the Property Ownership Certificate.There was a black cloth bag put together with the Property Ownership Certificate, which stored the pink necklace that Dave had given me.I hesitated for a moment, and then put it into my bag.This necklace was so expensive. Maybe I could help Dave by selling it.When I went out, Dave was waiting at the door. He looked at me with a solemn face. "Have you made up your mind? If you don't want to sell it, I can...""Let's go." I interrupted him. "I don't want to live next door with him anymore."'He' meant Oogway.Dave didn't say anything else.He accompanied me to the Real Estate Bureau wi

    It took about half an hour for Comfort to come out.As soon as she opened the door and saw me standing there, she was scared to take a step back and barely stood still. Then she looked at me and said with impatience, "What are you doing? Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night!?""Tell me clearly what you just said. What was wrong with grandma's tube?"'Today, if I don't figure this out, how can I sleep! That was what I thought.As I spoke, I switched on the lights in the corridor.The orange light shone on Comfort's face.The woman's face was still pale because of the shock. She said impatiently, "I don't know. You need to ask your father.""I'm asking you!" I threatened her. "I still have the video of you that year. Listen, anyway, you know what's my situation now. I don't want to be alive anymore. I'm not afraid to announce it in public and have a life and death struggle with you!"In fact, I was not sure if the video of Comfort I took was still there.But I still needed to

    Judith's home looked the same as before, and the furniture wasn't changed, which made me gratified.After entering, Comfort said, "You can stay. I'll come back tomorrow morning. I'll go first.""Don't you want to stay here?" I looked at Comfort in surprise."I, I have a place, I don't live here!" Comfort's face was full of panic, as if she was afraid that I would ask more.At that moment, my mind suddenly became clear. I walked over and grabbed Comfort's hand, "No! If you want the exchange for my apartment, you must stay here with me for the night!""I won't stay!" Comfort shook off my hand with all her might!Her eyes were filled with fear!It was as though she resisted being here!What was she afraid of?Even though I didn't have a clear head on this day, my mind was unusually clear at this very moment.I pulled her and said, "No, then I won't do the exchange."Hearing this, Comfort immediately hesitated and begged, "I, I want to go back and take care of my husband...""You can ask

    My heart went from anger, to panic, to numbness.In the end, I didn't even know when this farce would end.I didn't know how many tears I had shed.However, when I came to myself, the people around me seemed to have dispersed, as if the police had come to stop them.In the end, I was left alone.I felt like I was deprived of all my feelings.I couldn't feel sadness, anger or grief.I stood up. I was pointed at by passerbys when I made my way back, finally, I arrived at the No.1 on foot.Along the way, I was in a daze.I didn't quite remember what happened.I went home, took a shower, changed my clothes, and sat down on the sofa.My brain was in a mess.I completely seemed to have entered a state where I couldn't help denying myself.As I sat there, all I thought about was... all these things happened because of me.Because of me, the studio was destroyed.Because of me, all the orders had been cancelled.Because of me, my mother's life was exposed to the public.Because of me, Dave's
