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

My heart pounded against my ribs as I took a shaky breath, trying to steady my emotions. But as I turned to face the guests, my family, my friends, and most of all, the man standing just a few steps away, my voice trembled with overwhelming emotion."This isn’t just Kim’s wedding," I finally said, my voice thick with unshed tears. "It’s mine too."Gasps filled the air, followed by a stunned silence. Then, all at once, the crowd erupted into excitement.I heard my mother’s joyful sob, saw Kelvin blinking in surprise before his face broke into a smile. Kim squeezed my hand, winking, and Desmond chuckled beside her. But my eyes weren’t on them.They were on Dave.He stood motionless for a moment, his eyes locked on mine. Then, with the help of his crutches, he began to walk toward me, determination in every step.When he finally reached my side, he lifted a hand to my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek.“You’re crying,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion.I laughed shakily,

Dave surely wouldn't say no to Desmond.Seeing that Dave had personally agreed, Desmond couldn't be more joyful.Hearing Desmond's words, Dave lowered his eyes slightly. Falling silent for a moment, he didn't promise Desmond immediately.I knew what he was hesitant about.In his current situation, it was difficult for him to stand on stage. He might need a crutch.As I was about to refuse on behalf of him, Dave spoke first, "Okay, no problem.""Then I'm leaving. I won't bother you two anymore!"Hearing that Dave had agreed, Desmond left.After Desmond left, I said with some concern, "Desmond is one of us. If you are in a difficult position, tell him directly.""I know." Dave looked up at the rehabilitation equipment on the side and said, "But we agreed on this a long time ago. I can't let him down."It made sense. Desmond had always been by Dave's side.They two should have agreed on this early.Dinner was a quiet affair, but in the best way possible. The kind where words weren’t alw

Dave and I lived in the town for a while.When we lived together, Dave would make love to me against my will with the excuse that it would be conducive to the recovery of his legs.Frequently, we didn't go to bed until the middle of the night. I was so exhausted that I didn't even know when he had gone to rehabilitation in the morning.One and a half months later, Dave's legs had recovered to a great extent. He could walk for a short distance without a crutch.On the last day of the rehabilitation training, the doctor told us in the rehabilitation room that Dave could return to the City, saying that he could finish the rest of the rehabilitation training at home.Hearing this, Dave bought flight tickets on the same day.We went back and packed up our things before setting off.The next night, Dave and I landed at the airport.After going back home, Dave and I didn't get Bryan back to our side for the time being. Dave had been quite busy because of his work.He worked overtime after m

Teresa walked gracefully and looked at us, asking, "What happened?"She looked as if she was watching a good show. From this, I knew that she surely had been eavesdropping inside for a while and that she surely had known what had happened by this time.Having been in contact with Teresa for a long time, these people were naturally close to her.Hearing her question, everyone told her what had happened.Teresa looked at me with an unconcealable smile on her face, saying to me, "People in this town are clean and simple. How can you act the same way as you did in the City? You are a discredit here.""He gave me the key." I defended myself.Teresa surely wasn't convinced as well, saying, "Even if you are lying, you have to make up convincing lies. Everyone knows that you and I are both kept outside here. He probably doesn't even know that you are here. How would he give you the key?"As Teresa spoke, she had a smug look in her eyes.Sure enough, after she finished her words, the ones arou

Picking up my cutlery and taking a bit of rice, I said, "I'm leaving tonight. I'll come see you every night in the future.""Why?"Hearing this, Dave was a little puzzled.I chuckled, "I won't tell you! Anyway, don't let others know that I've been here."I didn't tell him why. However, Dave was so smart. Seeing my expression, he immediately said, "You want to keep her in the dark, right?"I nodded.Since Teresa had put in so much effort to put on a show, I naturally wouldn't let her act in vain.He nodded.However, when I left, I didn't climb over the wall again. Dave found someone and gave me a key to the back door locked all year round.I left through the backdoor.The next morning, I went to the hospital as usual.Teresa wore a blue and white dress with knee length today.Sitting on the opposite side of the road, she stared at the hospital door in a daze.When I went over, Teresa looked up at me and said with a hint of disdain, "I thought you were gone.""No, I didn't."There was a

A long time seemed to have passed since we made love. However, Dave was quite familiar with my body. Hooking my arms around his neck, I looked at him and said, "I want you."I rarely said so.At this moment, I knew that by seeing what I did and hearing my words, Dave could be infinitely confident.Raising his head, Dave hadunconcealable excitement in his eyes.Reaching out and pushing aside the strands of hair on my cheeks, he said, "You have me.""You have me."After he said so, the ambiguous and warm atmosphere permeated the room.By the time I opened my eyes again, day...Someone outside knocked on the door. A nurse seemed to be calling Dave to do the rehabilitation training.I looked at Dave sleeping soundly beside me with my face slightly blushed. Last night, we had been making love for a long time. Dave seemed to have inexhaustible strength. One or two hours had passed only since we went to bed.Dave, like me, heard what the nurse had said outside. Without opening his eyes, he

After I entered the room, it was dark inside with the curtains drawn. I couldn't see anything.Wondering where Dave was, I was sure that he surely had fallen asleep.I reached out to fudge around, trying to figure out the situation inside the room.All of a sudden, I ended up touching a soft and sturdy body.I was shocked.Then, I heard Dave say, "Leave quickly. Or I'll call a bodyguard."His voice was cold and emotionless.I couldn't help but shudder.I suspected that the bodyguard had betrayed me.As I was about to say something, I heard him say, "You surely know the situation of Michaelson Group well. With a phone call from me, Michaelson Group will close down tomorrow. At that time, you may not even afford to return to the City."It turned out that he mistook me as Teresa.Sensing that he was standing, I wondered whether Dave's legs had been healed."You... ""It's me."As Dave was about to speak again, I reached out and hugged him directly.While hugging him, I touched something

Kim picked up the call and spoke in surprise over the phone, "You are making an international call.""I have something to tell you." Looking at the desktop wallpaper on my computer screen, I thought for a moment before saying, "Yesterday, I learned that Teresa and Dave might have a son and that he should be about the same age as Bryan.""What?"I could strongly sense Kim's surprise over the phone so I moved the cell phone a little further away from me.Kim continued, "That's impossible. What the hell is this? Didn't he ever tell you about this?"Holding the cell phone, I shook my head, "No, I knew it yesterday. And now I'm in a mess.""Well, regarding this..." Kim said over the phone, "In my opinion, you should ask Dave about this by yourself. After all, Teresa is good at disguising herself. You don't even know whether she is telling the truth or not. Nobody knows that she, who is a high ranking socialite in the City before, is a shrew in private, right? You'd better confirm with Dave

I looked left and right.The wall guarding the hospital was made up of ordinary brick. It was only more than two meters high. In fact, the wall couldn't be of any deterring effect at all.After thinking for a moment, I said to the bodyguard, "Since you won't let me in, I'll go. Please don't tell Dave that I've come here, okay?"The bodyguard didn't know that I probably would make other moves.If he knew, I wouldn't have any chances at all.Looking at me, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.Fearing that he promised me nominally, I put my palms together devoutly and pleaded, "Please don't tell him.""Well, I won't."The bodyguard promised once again.Only after that was I rest assured.Seeing that I came out, Teresa stood at the door and looked sarcastic, "I originally thought you would be greatly respected. It turned out that you were kept outside as well."Looking at Teresa, I wasn't angry, asking, "Miss Teresa, you are a socialite in the City. I remember when we first met, you talk
