The location I pointed out on my cell phone was a small restaurant near the orphanage. In fact, I had no idea if it still operated.

In college when I took time to help in the orphanage, I went to eat there a few times and the food was top notched.

About a few meters away from the restaurant, we found that the road was blocked with no way of driving through. We had no other way than to park and walk there.

To my surprise, the restaurant was still open and the operator was the same one as we walked in.

Immediately the operator saw me, he greeted with a smile. "Oh, isn't it Reed? I haven't seen you in years. Where have you been?"

"Boss, how come you still remember me?" I was a little surprised.

"Of course I do. You haven't changed much in recent years. I surely can recognize you." The owner of the restaurant said happily and looked at Dave, "Is this your boyfriend? He looks so noble."

I hooked up the corner of my lips, "No, he's just my..."

"I'm her boyfriend."

    Judith's funeral.On that day, I wore all black and arrived at the burial place. As soon as Thomas saw me he got furious. He pushed me and said, "How dare you come here? Get lost!"As he roared, everyone turned to look at me and none of them had a gentle look on their face.Helen scolded, "You made the Defiant Family this way. How dare you come here? Get out of here!"I didn't know why they were furious but I was clear about my purpose here.I glanced at them coldly, "I'm here to see Grandmother one last time not you lot.""Even if my mother is alive, she won't want to see you!" Comfort finally spoke, "Reed Defiant, you've ruined Defiant Group. What more do you want?""What does Defiant Group have to do with me?" I frowned slightly."What does it have to do with you?" Thomas rushed over intending to hit me.I dodged.Thomas glared at me and said, "You seduced Dave and asked him to break off his marriage engagement with Lita! You are such a scheming woman!"I turned to look at Lita w

    This laptop was used for my work. Because I had to draw and design drafts, the laptop was of high configuration and was overwhelmingly heavy.It wasn't until three or four seconds later that I felt the excruciating pain, feeling like my bones had been smashed by a metal case.There seemed to be sticky liquid slipping down my nose.Seeing me like this, Lita frowned, got up, and picked up a few pieces of tissue from the table. She then walked to me and gently wiped my nose.By the time she retracted the tissue again, the tissue was soaked red.At this time, my head and face was in great pain.Looking at me, Lita giggled and said, "Reed, do you know why you are here?"Because of the hit, I couldn't say a word.Lita took the laptop, "If I hadn't seen the files stored on it, I probably wouldn't have had to treat you this badly. Don't worry, I will let you experience what I went through."I squinted at her because I didn't understand what she was talking about.Lita looked at me with an ev

    Lita clicked open the audio file.I heard an unfamiliar voice."Mr. Mitaka, the matter has been settled. The car would definitely drift off after taking off. Even if he doesn't die, he surely will become disabled."What I heard made me break out in cold sweat.No!No!I cried out in my heart...But then, I heard a voice I never intended to hear."Are you sure no one saw what you did?" I couldn't be more familiar with this voice. It was Dave's.The unfamilair voice replied, "Yes, I handled it myself. There is nothing to worry about."It turns out Haick's car accident had something to do with Dave!It was Dave!"No, no, Dave had no reason to harm Haick. Haick and I had broken up and we were no longer in touch. The reason Haick came to the city was to help me out with the plagiarism issue. He helped me and Dave had no idea he would be in the CIty..."I babbled as I wasn't convinced by what I was facing.For a moment, I looked up at Lita and said, "This audio file is fake! It surely can't

    "No, no, no, no!" I can't be defiled by these men. I explained to Lita, "It wasn't me who found the ruffians to hurt you. That matter has nothing to do with me. We both have been calculated by others!"Lita didn't take my words seriously. She raised her hand and touched the muscle of the man next to her, "Sister, do you see how kind I am? You found ruffians for me but I spent a lot of money hiring these ones with the strongest lower member. They surely will satisfy you.""No!"Lita then point to my legs, "Hold her legs!""No!"I shook my head desperately and kicked my legs.Two other men came over to grab my legs and the others loosened the chains on my hands as they held me firmly on the bed.Lita then slowly open the glass bottle in her hand. She raised the glass bottle bit by bit to the top of my eyes, looked at me and said, "Don't be afraid. There isn't much but such a small amount inside. If I drip it on your face, no one will think about taking a second look at you again."A p

    Haick stood at the same distance and looked at me with a sad expression on.I suddenly felt powerless as I could only watch helplessly as Haick drowned in the red rain.In the end, he bent his knees and fell to the ground.I knelt down and tried to grab Haick but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't touch him. I could only scream out, "Haick! Haick! Haick!"At this time, I suddenly felt a bright light burning my eyes then it was snowy white in front of me.I was stunned for a second before I realized I was in a hospital.Why am I here?My head was in a mess.What had happened earlier was like fragments of a puzzle.I layed still on the bed as I thought hard."How is she?""She hasn't woken up yet."As I was deep in thought about what had happened, the voice of a man and woman suddenly came from outside, then, the door of the room I was in was pushed open. I quickly closed my eyes and pretended I hadn't woken up.Among the two, the man walked to my bedside, paused for a moment, and

    As I was about to chase after her, the doctor and Assistant Ivan came in.Seeing me out of bed, the doctor immediately held me back down, "Lie down quickly!"I asked directly, "What happened to me last night? Before I was sent here, was I raped?"My question was also for Assistant Ivan. Although I was certain in my heart that I haven't been violated, I wasn't quite sure after all, those men had been hired by Lita. How come they wouldn't violate me?Is it possible?I needed a theory to support and ascertain my judgment.For no reason, they looked guilty as no one spoke. In the end, Assistant Ivan spoke first, "When my boss' men found you, you were the only one at the location. You were disheveled as for the rest, I don't know it either... We only did a basic check up on you but we haven't checked whether you..."Before he could finish his words, I knew what he was going to say. I said, "I was threatened that I would be raped and those men suffered from AIDS!"Hearing my words, the two

    I looked at the business card which was neat with only two words 'Ivan Slecko' written on it. There was an email and phone number below his name.I walked back to the ward with the business card in hand, feeling even more chaotic in my heart.Is it an accident or a deliberate murder?How could there be such a coincidence?I don't want to kill this child but what if I indeed get sick and pass the disease to my child?No matter how society changes, everyone's prejudice against this disease will be the same. My child surely will be looked down upon by others.He/she surely can't be confident for the rest of his/her life and he/she will live in depression all his/her life.What should I do...?After entering the ward, I squatted on the ground, desperate.I indeed couldn't make a choice.I had lost my first child. How can I bear to kill my second child?But what if, what if I was indeed raped and I'm infected with AIDS?I remembered what Griffin had said. He said it was okay for me to tak

    I sat back on the bed and kept a distance from Dave, "I was kidnapped by Lita yesterday.""Kidnapped?" Dave frowned slightly when he heard me. He reached for his phone as if he was planning on asking someone to investigate."Wait a minute." I quickly stopped him and said in a pleading tone, "Let me finish my words first."I told him Lita had kidnapped me yesterday and she had asked a few foreign men to rape me, one of whom had AIDS.It was probably because of my vanity that I didn't tell him she had poured acid for my face.I just said my face was injured.The more I said, the more uglier Dave's expression was. He clenched his hands tightly with the blue veins popping out more obviously.After I finished my words, I added, "When I woke, my lower part..., I didn't feel anything like I had been raped. I dare not take risks and I should take the anti exposure drug however...""However...?"Dave got up and walked towards me step by step.He wanted to tell me with his behavior that he di

    Marie sighed, "Alina Jetson, oh, Alina Jetson. Sometimes I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid. Dave is so good to you. Why did you hide this from him?""I..." I turned around, "I don't want to make trouble for him. I think I can solve this independently. If I tell him, he will definitely help me. I am independent. And I can't always be protected by him, can I?""Are you making blind and disorderly conjectures?" Marie looked at me with a frown."Am I thinking randomly?"I didn't know what to say at the moment.Marie took my hand and said, "He may be having a meeting. Don't think too much. As Scarlett said, he's a president. How can he hang around you all day? Maybe he hasn't seen the press conference up till now."I knew that what Marie had said wouldn't happen.When I left, I remembered Dave's expression very clearly.He surely knew that I was going to do something that I kept from him.Scarlett shouted from the side, "Let's go have the meal quickly. I'm so hungry."Wit

    At this time, Harry looked at Matt on the side, "Vice Dean Parma, it's your turn."Matt stood there with a look of embarrassment on his face.Matt was dressed in a gray blue jacket, a pair of sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers, looking casual.It was as if someone had forcibly dragged him over here while he was doing his morning running.Hearing how Harry called Matt, all the reporters under the stage suddenly understood who Matt was. All of a sudden, they all aimed the cameras at him!Matt lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists. The conference room was not hot at all. But I could clearly see a layer of sweat on Matt's forehead."Vice Dean Parma?" Harry raised his voice, called out once again, and handed Matt the microphone he had used just now.This time, Matt finally moved. He raised his hand to take the microphone over and looked at the audience with a dull look. Then he opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind, "I'm Matt Parma. I testify that what Alina said just n

    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
