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

    "Mr. Bryan, the person who proved the work is mine is dead and it's all because of me. I killed him."Tears fell from the corner of my eyes as I mentioned this."He is dead?" Bryan seemed to be stunned over the phone, "Why... What happened?""Yes, so I don't want to participate in the finals."After that, I hung up.When Kim heard I was on the phone, she came out to ask, "What's the matter?"I said flatly, "I'm fine but I'm not going to take part in the finals."Hearing this, Kim was stunned for a second and then came over. She patted my face and said, "Sis, are you crazy? To prove that you didn't copy anyone else's work so you could enter the final, it was Haick who cleared your name with his life. He is dead and you decide to give it up now? Should his death be in vain?""I..."I, who had been in a mess for so many days, felt somewhat sobered upon hearing Kim's words.Yes, Haick used his life to prove my innocence. How can I give up the finals?I quickly picked up my cell phone. W

    "Tell me, Haick is a very important person in my life." I deliberately said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have called me before he died..."After a moment of silence, the police officer said, "Here's the thing. We didn't find any signs of braking on the scene of the accident."The police didn't say anything further.The phone was hung up. I stood at the door of the company, feeling a little confused.What did he mean? It wasn't an accident?"If that was the case, then was someone behind this?Could it be that there was some conflict between him and someone else in the business that caused the counterpart to intend to kill him?I knew it was useless for me to think randomly.I had to leave it to the police to investigate further.Two days later, I would leave for the finals and I didn't know how long I would be away plus I hadn't seen Judith for a long time.Now that I had time, I took a taxi and went to the Hospital.Judith, who was still in a coma was lying still in the ICU. I looked at

    Thomas looked at Lita with impatience on his face, "If it were in the past, it would be fine. Now you should know more or less as to what's going on at home."Comfort mocked on the side, "That's right. How about you just let Dave pay for the expense? Anyway, such a little amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for him."At the mention of Dave, Lita looked embarrassed, "I... I'll tell him about it. But I don't think it's a good idea. After all, it's our family's business."Comfort responded, "That's right. Forget it. Let him invest the money in Defiant Group. Now Defiant Group is the place where the money is needed. We don't need to owe him a favor because of such a trivial matter."When I heard Comfort's words, I was burning with anger in my heart.Such a trivial matter?Judith's life seems to be a trivial matter to her..."I'll think of a way to get the money. I won't let you turn off Judith's support machine."All three of them looked at me with different expressions.Comfort i

    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
