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
Lita grabbing Amelia startled her. She looked at Lita and then at me as if she had seen a ghost, "Mr., Mr. Mitaka..""Which Mr. Mitaka?""Dave Mitaka."After Amelia finished speaking, she, who was scared, ran away.Lita covered her head with one hand as she looked at me, "She, she just said I am Mr. Mitaka's wife. Why did you lie to me?"I said calmly, "She's lying to you.""No... no, you surely are lying to me. You all are lying to me! Why are you lying to me?"Besides tears, there was uneasiness in Lita's eyes. There was also doubts.Judging from her look, I knew she didn't look to be pretending at all.I was a little confused.When she grabbed me, her hands were still shaking and the look on her face indicated she was in pain. It seemed that her head still ached.At this time, the ambulance came.A doctor got out of the ambulance and asked me about the situation. I told him about Lita and gave him the address of Hospital she was treated and left......................That evenin
Dave stepped forward and opened the door to the bathroom, only to find that it was locked from inside.Clothes were scattered all over the floor outside the door.Helen said with a squeaky voice, "Lita is naked. I, I dare not let them in.""Which is more important? Your daughter's naked body or her life?" I scolded her. It wasn't that I didn't feel sorry for Lita. It was just that I felt Helen was quite illogical. However, I also realized that this was likely a trap set by Helen, Lita, and Thomas together.What was inside the room was what they wanted to show us.Dave pushed the door as he said, "Where's the key?""There isn't any spare key available for this door. Since it's locked from inside you'll have to kick it down." I said.The reason why I knew so much about the room was that this room used to be mine. The lock inside was a little broken and no one tried to fix it..Helen nodded awkwardly.We could hear the rustle in the room and the faint cry, indicating that Lita was still
There were two attachments on the website, which were my work and Trish's work respectively.I downloaded the two attachments and clicked open them to have a look.I could tell at a glance that Trish's work was the previous draft of my final draft. At that time, I originally decided to submit the previous draft of the current final draft then I made small changes on the lights. The only difference between her work and mine layed in the lights."Reed Defiant, come to my office!"When I was comparing the two paintings, Bryan appeared at the door. His expression was serious and he looked a little angry.On the other hand, the colleagues on the side were all gloating and watching on.I followed Bryan into his office.He closed the door and then looked at me with a serious look on his face, "Reed Defiant, why did you do that? Mr. Mitaka is helping you get to the finals and you had to copy someone else's work?!""I didn't copy her work. She copied mine instead." I said calmly."She plagiari
I looked at Bailey and then at Trish, "Don't shout. It's not whoever is louder that is right. Besides, the works are similar but why does it have to be me who plagiarized your work? Can't it be you that plagiarize my work on purpose?"After I said that, Trish was stunned but Bailey acted indifferently. She sneered and said, "Did she plagiarize your work? Everyone knows Trish's design level. Why would she copy the work of a third rate designer like you?""How would I know?" I shrugged.Seeing the situation, Bryan said, "How about this? We can't get a result even if we continue quarreling here. Go back and you two will sort this respectively to prove that the work is yours. We will find a time to see the evidence presented by you two and then let some people be judges."What Bryan had proposed was feasible however, Bailey wasn't willing to do so. She said, "Why? She plagiarized Trish's work. How come we still have to present evidence? You need evidence? The fact that Trish submitted he
The meeting room was on the seventh floor.The only way there was to take the elevator.As Bryan, who originally looked a little tensed saw them, he could only pretend to be relaxed. He straightened up, tidied up his suit, and calmly said, "This work belongs to Reed Defiant. We are fully prepared.""Really? Let's wait and see."Mrs. Bailey glanced at me with her eyes full of contempt.The elevator came just in time.The four of us went up together.On the seventh floor, people were already seated in the conference room. I looked around and found most of them unfamiliar however, a few of them were familiar.One was the manager of Haick Designer and the other was Evangel.It was understandable that the manager of Haick Design was here and Evangel being Dave's assistant, I couldn't figure out why he was here.The meeting would begin at 9 a.m. and it was only 8:30 a.m.Trish and I sat on the side respectively.Bryan kept asking me in a whisper, "Do you have confidence or not? Are you sur
When he walked in, all the executives, especially Bailey, rushed to the front to greet him.Dave came in and asked about the general situation.Everyone started to scold me heatedly since they ascertained I was the one who had plagiarised Trish's work.According to them, I, who was shameless, disgraced Mitaka Group and that I was the loser among the designers, and so on.Their words sounded harsh. They used all the words they could think of and assumed appropriate to scold me.Dave listened on. Although he didn't look at me, he deeply furrowed his eyebrows. His face was terribly cold and his black eyes were filled with deep unhappiness.The group of executives next to him were all shrewd. Seeing Dave in a bad mood, they said a few more words and waited for him to pass his judgement.Dave finally looked at me and said, "Tell me. Whose work is it?""I'm the one who made it. That's my work."Dave should be more clear about it. At that time, he and I lived together and he had watched me
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
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
