The CEO's Switched Bride Chapter 151
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

Hannah and Trish who were standing at the door watched me hang up the phone.I then said, "Ms. Bailey, Ms. Smith, please wait a moment."Trish said, "Reed Defiant, our time is precious."She had already accepted I could no longer find any other evidence. When she spoke, she was full of vigor."Just for a moment. My friend got new evidence."As soon as I finished my words, Trish's face became a little pale. She looked at me and said unhappily, "Don't waste everyone's time.""Since you've all come here and most of your time have been wasted, why would you wanna leave before the end?" I looked at the people around me. "I think everyone else also wants to know who the design really belongs to."I didn't know what Haick was going to do but I had absolute trust in him.I knew Trish was already feeling guilty when she said, "We don't have so much time to watch you make a scene.""Sit down. Let's see what she got."Trish was unwilling to stay but Hannah wasn't afraid. She pulled Trish back to

Dave glanced at everyone present coldly.With his hands in his pockets, he said word by word, "If what happened here today is spread out, I won't track down the source but I guarantee that all of you can't hang around in this industry again."After he said that, he walked over to me and said, "Let's go."I was in an extremely complicated mood and I wasn't in any mood to say anything to Dave."Thank you, Mr. Mitaka." That was all I said before taking my stuffs and walking out the conference room.I could hear the sound of Dave's heel hitting the floor as he walked behind me at a faster pace.I quickened my pace and arrived at the front of the elevator in no time. The elevator was on the last floor and it would take a couple of minutes for it to get to my floor. Thinking about Dave catching up to me if I waited, I could only helplessly take the stairs.As soon as I stepped down, Dave caught up with me and hugged me with his one hand.I was so angry that I struggled and pushed him away.

After Lita was helped up by Dave, she looked at me and immediately explained to Dave, "I'm sorry. I can't even stand properly."I thought she was about to say it wasn't me who had pushed her down.I couldn't fathom what she was on about.Dave patted the dirt off her body and shook his head, "Why are you here? Didn't the doctor say you're not allowed to go around?""I... I just don't recall what you look like when you are at work so I came to see you. I didn't expect to meet Reed."Lita stood next to Dave. She was shorter, which made her look like a tender and delicate woman. As they stood together, it was a beautiful scene.Why am I still standing here?I turned around to leave just then I heard Lita's voice behind me, "Reed, let's have lunch together."Hehe.I turned to look at them. Dave, who had been staring at Lita, finally looked at me but the way he looked at me was different from that he looked at Lita.He wasn't distressed when he looked at me.It makes sense. After all, I am

"Haick." Before he could say something more, I interrupted him, "Haick, do you think that the relationship between me and Dave just started from the moment I married him on behalf of Lita?""Isn't that so?" Haick was stunned.I shook my head gently, calmed myself down, and said slowly, "No, I love Dave. I have been in love with him for many years. The first time I met him, I was ten years old..."I sat next to Haick and told Haick everything about my first encounter with Dave as well as my persistence over those years.Besides Kim, only Haick knew about this.Haick sat there and listened on.He let go of my hand and lowered his head then I heard a self deprecating sneer."I came to you too late."“...I'm sorry, he hurt me so many times and I tried getting him off my mind and heart but I couldn't."If I could, I hoped strongly that the person I loved was Haick. In that case, at least, I wouldn't have to work so hard.Haick listened to me and nodded. "I know.""I'm sorry."Originally, I

"Miss Defiant, although Mr. Grimm was on the verge of death when he was sent here, his last words were to you.""What do you mean by saying his lasts words were to me? Since he was on the evrge of dying, why didn't you save him? Why??"Since he wasn't dead when he was brought here, why was he dead now?"He knew you'll surely come." The doctor looked at me and paused, "He said he loved you and if there is a next life, he will meet you early."I looked at the doctor and couldn't say a word as tears flowed down the corner of my eyes.My heart hurt so much."Come with me."The doctor waved at me.I raised my feet and followed him to the underground sector of the hospital.It was chilling here than it was above.The doctor then led me to the door of the morgue, opened the door, and waved to me.I walked over and looked inside.The hospital here was small and there was only one bed inside.A person was lying on it and his height seemed to be a little shorter than Haick's. Haick was taller

At this moment, I opened my eyes.At a glance, I knew I was in the hospital.Everything that had happened just now was a dream.A nurse came in, "You are up.""What... what's wrong with me?"I thought about it carefully. I chased after the doctor and asked him to check on Haick. Later, I was injected with a shot...The nurse explained, "You were too hyped. We gave you a sedative."I looked at her in a daze and thought of Haick, "Where is Haick? How is he?""His parents are already here. They are preparing to take his body back. If you go out now, you'll probably see him one last time."They are going to take his body away...Without any deliberation, I put on my shoes and ran out.It was probably because of the sedative that I was still a little dizzy. When running, I kept bumping into others but I couldn't care.When I arrived at the door, I saw a big van parked outside with about seven or eight people standing next to it.I recognized Haick's parents at a glance.They also saw me.W

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
