The CEO's Switched Bride Chapter 169
Marie shook her head repeatedly after seeing my draft.She pointed out a lot of problems to me.Instead of beating around the bush, she was very straightforward.Listening to her, I hoped I could go back to college and restudy designs.After she finished her words, I said with a sad look on my face, "How about I give up the finals?"I didn't have any hopes of getting a good design.Marie raised her hands and touched my hair. She then said with a smile, "It's alright. I am here with you. There is nothing to be worried about.""You? I am not letting you do my design for me."Her words reminded me of Trish's words.Haick had enlightened me on my work for the preliminary contest and when it came to my work for the second round, it got dramatic. I have to rely on myself in the final round. It didn't matter to me even if I couldn't get any prize.Marie burst into laughter, "Who said I was going to do your design for you? I'm just saying you got me so there's nothing to be worried about."I

"Don't! Don't insert it!"It would be a nightmare for me.Sweat trickled down my forehead.Looking at Dave's hand holding the USB drive, I was afraid he would be impulsive."Get some rest then. You'll also have to get to bed before 12.am from tomorrow." Dave looked at me with a cold gaze as he spoke."But...""Huh?"I wanted to refute but Dave moved the USB drive towards my laptop. I was so scared that I layed back down on bed. "I'm going to sleep! I'm going to sleep! Don't be impulsive!" I thought o myself, 'I'll pretend to be sleeping. When he goes then I will continue my work.'Sure enough, when Dave saw me lying down, he nodded with satisfaction, turned off the light and left.I listened quietly to the movement at the door. After confirming he had left, I climbed out of bed quietly.I tiptoed and turned my laptop back on.When the software was loading and I was planning to get back to my work...Crack.The door opened.I saw Dave standing at the door with a small bag in hand.He

Before I could get to the dinning hall, someone suddenly grabbed me with a strong force and said, "Why didn't you wait for me?"He pulled me towards the opposite direction."Let me go!"Dave gave me a light look, "If you want to attract the others here, continue shouting."His words made me shut up.He took me into the courtyard of the resort and I was surprised to see people guarding there.This was a secluded part of the resort and we were asked not to wander around here. It turned out Dave was living here.Dave took me to a small dining hall and three waiters came over to serve us.Throughout breakfast, I was busy enjoying my food and didn't say a word to Dave but his face was gloomy. He also didn't intend to talk to me.After breakfast, I made up my mind to get back to my work. Since I couldn't do my work at night, I had to work on it during the day.I said to Dave, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room first.""I've asked Dee to get your laptop. You can work here."As

I went to the dining hall alone the next day.When I arrived at the corridor of the dining hall, I happened to see Dee. Thinking of Marie's issue, I stopped him and asked why Marie had quit the competition and how the investigation about the issue was going.Dee shook his head helplessly, "Before Marie left, I had a talk with her. She didn't have any clue who harmed her and the monitor didn't show any suspicious scenes.""Why did you allow her quit the competition? Someone had definitely planned that to get her out of the competition."I didn't mention Trish but as long as Dee was clear about the strength of the contestants in this competition, he should know who I was referring to.Dee looked up at me, "Miss Defiant, I know you have a good relationship with Marie but you'd better not speculate randomly without any solid evidence.""But you shouldn't have let Marie withdraw from the competition!""It was Marie who wanted to withdraw from the competition. I did advised her but accordin

Her reaction was the best evidence.Although Trish was usually arrogant, I found out from the plagiarism incident last time that as long as I poked her where she hurt, she would lose her self control.As we were quarreling, Dee kindly asked on the side, "Miss Trish, it's almost 12 o'clock. Do you still need to back up your work?""Yeah. I've modified my work so I have to back it up again." Trish said as she took out a U disk and began to back up her work.I stood next to her and said to Dee, "Assistant Dee, I have to tell you something specifically. Last time, when you were not there, my work was the same as hers. Later, it was proven that she had copied my work. This time, if there are any conflicts between her work and mine again, remember she revised her work after I submitted mine.""What do you mean? I won't care to copy your work!"Hearing my words, Trish became anxious.I glanced at her and said, "I didn't say you surely would plagiarize my work. Why are you so anxious? Are you

"Grandma?" Lita didn't expect me to ask about Judith's situation directly. After thinking for a while, she said, "She is still the same. At first, aunt agreed to turn off her breathing machine but now she said we shouldn't do so. It's strange."Comfort did what I had said.Trish sat in front of me. Seeing Lita talking cheerfully with me, she came over and said in a moderate voice, "She has been living with Mr. Mitaka since."Lita was talking to me happily however after hearing Trish's words, she immediately became fierce, "Don't talk nonsense. Reed isn't such a person.""Are you sure? She has been living with Mr. Mitaka over the past two weeks. They are so intimate and close."After Trish said that, the others echoed, "Yes, we also saw."Lita looked at me and the look on her face indicated that she was a little embarrassed.Trish and others talked about the things that had happened over these days in an even more exaggerated tone as they voiced out in a tone audible to just Lita and

While she was thinking about how to apologize, Troy Benjamin spoke up, "In fact, she's right. I'm not Troy Benjamin."As Trish heard his words, her eyes lit up. Troy Benjamin added, "My real name is Kelvin Drake. If you study European Architecture, you should know my last name."After he said that, Trish's face changed.Drake?Is there such a surname?I indeed haven't heard of it. However, Trish nodded dully, "I know. I know.""Well, since we have mentioned this today, I will elaborate on it." Kelvin sat in his own position.He sat there and looked at us below, saying, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Kelvin Drake and I'm the 79th successor of European Architecture ."As soon as he said that, all the people present burst into an uproar.It wasn't because Trish's design was bad. It was because she had pretended to be an expert in the presence of an authentic expert.Trish quickly said, "Mr. Kelvin, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I'm indeed not good at design. I'll work harder next time."

I turned around and saw Dave standing on the corridor in casual clothes.Dee was standing next to him.My head was dizzy so I couldn't see their expressions clearly.I was standing on the edge of the swimming pool with Kelvin's help. He didn't let go of me until he dragged me to the lounge chair.Kelvin stood beside me then I heard the sound of Dave coming over.He walked over and said, "Get me a bath towel.""No need. I, I'm alright." I quickly got up and said to Kelvin, "Mr. Kelvin, thank you."Kelvin was about to walk away. He stared at me for two seconds before saying, "No need."At this time, Dee had taken out a bath towel from Kelvin's room and said to Kelvin, "Mr. Kelvin, I'll use this towel first. I'll ask the maids to bring you a new set right away."Kelvin waved his hand and walked into his room.Dave took the bath towel over and placed it on me.He reached out his hand to touch my forehead and then my face. After that, he bent down and directly picked me up in his arms."Yo

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,

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
