Not long after, the kid's parents came over and pulled them away but none of them apologized.I was furious. I rushed to the front of the kid's parents and looked at them, "Apologize! Your children called me names. Apologize!""Wow! The ugly aunt is coming!"One of the little boys screamed.The child's mother didn't scold him. She looked at me and sneered, "You came out like this and I'm not blaming you for scaring my child. How come you ask me to apologize?""I agree!"Another mother next to her echoed.The children also said, "Ugly woman! Ugly woman!"The way they addressed me made me sad. As I stood there, my palms were sweating. I was just one step away from running away in fright."See? Children never lie. It's not your fault to be this ugly but it's your fault for coming out like this and scaring others."I said angrily, "People like you do not deserve to be mothers at all!"If the kids were mine, I wouldn't have educated them into someone like this.The woman shouted, "Could
I went upstairs to my old apartment. I knocked on the door but after a long time, there was still no response.It made sense. According to Teresa's words previously, it made sense why there was no one home.I looked around and curled the note into a ball then I wrapped it carefully and stucked it on the doorknob.After, I turned around and left.At the entrance, I rushed over to a stopping taxi. The passenger inside seemed to be getting off.As I was about to get in the car, I found the one sitting inside was Oogway."Reed." As soon as Oogway got out of the car, he was surprised to see me.Thinking that I was waiting for Oogway, the driver drove off after Oogway got out of the car.Oogway asked, "Why are you here? Are you looking for me?""No." I waved my hand, hesitated for a moment, and told him the truth, "The apartment I use to live in was given to me by my grandmother. Before, I sold it to pay for her medical bills. I didn't expect her to die soon. I want to buy it back now but
"Mr. Mitaka, you're back." Seeing Dave, the woman quickly greeted him and then looked at me.She was stunned for a moment but didn't say anything."This is the future Mrs. President." Dave introduced me directly to the woman.The woman was extra stunned.She still showed a standard smile and said, "Mrs. President, nice to meet you."Although she said so verbally, I could see there was a hint of contempt and sarcasm in her eyes.As soon as we walked out of the elevator, Dee came over.Seeing that I was with Dave, he greeted us naturally, "Mr. Mitaka, Miss Defiiant."Dave said to Dee, "Notify them, I'm here for the meeting.""Alright."Dee hurried back to his seat.I followed Dave into his office. After a while, the woman came in with two cups of coffee. She placed one on Dave's table and handed the other to me, saying lightly, "Mrs. President, here is your coffee.""Thank you."I could feel her hostility.I hadn't seen this woman before. Dave just said, "Janet, take care of her.""Ok
In the dim light of the underground parking lot, I looked at him with my heart beating faster.The car drove out of the parking lot but it didn't go in my direction. I was a little surprised, "Where are we going?""Somewhere." Dave said mysteriously.I knew it was useless for me to ask anything further so I didn't.Halfway through the ride, I asked confused, "Why do you think Janet was sent by someone to be by your side? Isn't is dangerous?"Dave drove the car as he said, "Don't worry. She'll be sent away in a few days. I'm just keeping an eye on her moves for the next few days."Hearing him say so, I couldn't say anything more.The car drove all the way to the entrance of a residential quarter located in the third ring road of the City. It was the villa area.Dave parked the car at the entrance first and said, "We'll live here in the future.""We?"He didn't answer me and continued to drive forward. There were rows of business buildings less than two or three hundred meters ahead.
Dave went to work the next day leaving me by myself at home. The servants at home were hired to work hourly per my request.I had nothing to do. Except for studying internal decoration on the web, I spent most of my time feeling bored and doing nothing.On the fifth day, I finally decided to go out to the supermarket to buy some fruits.I went out wearing the mask. When I finished buying all the things I needed, paid the bill, and came out of the supermarket, I heard someone behind me call out, "Reed Defiant?"I turned around and saw Helen and Thomas standing behind me.When I saw the two of them, I couldn't help but think of Lita who had gone abroad.When Helen saw me, her eyes turned red. It wasn't because she was sad instead, she was angry.She walked to me and wanted to take off my mask. I quickly stepped back to protect my mask with determination.I wanted to leave but Helen pulled me back, "Reed Defiant, you know you can't face me with dignity anymore. If your grandmother know
Seeing that Dave had almost finished packing up his things, I asked, "Do you have time now? I want to buy some painting tools." Fearing that he would refuse me, I said quickly, "Just for this time. I will try my best to buy every tool I need for painting but if you are in a hurry, I will wait until you come back."The reason I was in a hurry was that I wanted to find something to do in the next few days. In this way, I wouldn't be bored because of idleness."Yes. Let's go." Dave immediately agreed.We went downstairs with his luggage. It wasn't until I got downstairs that I discovered that two cars were already waiting on him.The door of the car opened and Dee got out to hurriedly help Dave with his luggage.After Dee put the luggage in the trunk, Dave said, "You should go to the airport first. I will accompany her to get something after I will.""But, the time...""No buts!"Hearing his words, Dee, who originally wanted to say something just nodded and got back in the car.Only th
We entered the waiting hall. Dave and I sat alone in the first class lounge. After a while, Dee came in and looked at me, saying with some embarrassment, "Mr. Mitaka, it's true that Miss Defiant has 51 percent of the shares of the Defiant Group and..."Speaking of this, Dee paused.Dave raised his eyes to look at him.Dee continued, "And later, although the Defiant Group didn't make any further big move, it donated money to some primary schools in the name of Miss Defiant.""What?"I was stunned.Who is this person? What kind of great philanthropist is he?How come he dared to use my name to do good deeds?"How could he use her name? Defiant Group has nothing to do with her in the first place." When Dave spoke, there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in his tone.It was obvious that this person's way of doing things had exceeded his expectations.Dee frowned slightly, "It's like this, Miss Defiant originally held 4% of the shares of Defiant Group so he...."I roughly understood what
The next day, I was awakened by the sound of voices outside the door. Realizing there was someone outside and I was naked, I was so scared that I got up quickly.The ambiguous smell on my body hadn't subsided yet. I went to the bathroom and washed up, making myself smell fragrant.When I came out in a bathrobe, I, who originally wanted to wear the clothes I had worn yesterday, found that the clothes were gone.I had to brace myself and gently opened the door to the bedroom slightly with my mask on my face.As I looked outside, I saw there were three open hangers in the hall, two of which hung men's clothes, including sets of suits and shirts.On the other hanger, women's clothes were hanging on it, including formal dresses and clothes on usual days.Three escorts were standing next to the hanger.Dave seemed to have heard the sound of the door opening as he said to the escorts, "Hang these clothes in the locker room inside."He then walked over to me."These are..." I watched the es
At the mention of Teresa, Finn's attitude was different from Katy's. He seemed to have no idea about Teresa's heartlessness.He looked at me and said, "Reed, it was my fault. I shouldn't have flirted with Jessica because I was married. But, but I really couldn't control myself. During that ime, I really loved her, even now I..."Finn didn't go on, but his face was full of regret.I narrowed my eyes and looked at him. Then I sneered, Mr. Finn, do you have a dead brain? Or do you have a bad memory? A few months ago, you dropped a card and said you wanted to draw a line to keep your distant from us. Don't you remember?""You cheated my mother's feelings and took her to the City. She was a healthy person before, but she was driven crazy by your wife, who is a vixen. The Newman family didn't accept her, and I grew up in a family that didn't love me. How can you be so shameless to call me daughter?"Originally, my mood was very calm. Looking at Finn, I felt like I was watching his play. How
Pigs might fly. Katy came to meet me!When I saw her, I didn't think much and turned to leave. Katy saw me and rushed out, "Alina, I'm here for you."Her voice was loud, and several colleagues looked over. However, I had no intention of entering the meeting room. Standing at the door, I looked at her with a little vigilance and sked, "Mrs. Katy, I don't think I have anything to do with you. What can I do for you?"Looking at my attitude, Katy was not angry at all. She said with a smile, "Come in. I have something to tell you.""Let's talk about it here. After all, we haven't gotten on well before. What if you hit yourself and blame it on me?" I said.There was CCTV in the conference room but I said so on purpose.In fact, I am not afraid that Katy will hit me. I am afraid that I can't help hitting her.Hearing this, Katy was a little embarrassed."No, no, come in, I'll only talk with you." She seemed to be afraid that I wouldn't go in, so she added, "Do I have to beg you."Beg me?
Bryan had been treated for a week.The fever had also subsided, and his vitals had also stabilized.These days, it's Janice who delivered food to me and Bryan.Today, Janice sent food again. There were vegetables, ribs, fish soup, and rice.Bryan's appetite recovered well, and he ate a big bowl of food in a short time.After the meal, I found that the weather outside was good, so I wanted to check with the doctor to see if I could take Bryan out for a walk.The doctor checked Bryan and agreed.Janice went to the backyard of the hospital with me.There was a small garden in the backyard, surrounded by many benches. Other patients were sitting on benches, basking in the sun."Miss Jetson."When I was walking with Bryan, someone called me from behind.I looked back and saw that it was Eunice."Miss Eunice?"I was a little surprised, so I quickly let Janice take care of Bryan and walked over to Eunice.Eunice wore a cloth hat. I could see at a glance that there seemed to be no hair under
Desmond's face turned pale. "No, that was before I met you, I really haven't messed with anyone since I met you, I swear...""Really? I've seen several of them. Next time, if you want to deceive me, make drafts first."Kim's face was full of mockery.I could see Desmond was sweating. Не showed a pleasing smile on his face, put his palms together and winked at me.I knew that he was asking me to help.I tugged at Kim's arm and said, "Alright, a prodigal who returns is more precious than gold. Forgive him for the mistakes he made before.""That's right! They are previous mistakes!" Hearing my words, Desmond immediately cast a grateful look at me.He also put on an expression of gratitude.Kim couldn't stand it. She looked at Desmond and said, "I forgive you because my Reed said to. If you dare to do it again, I'll break your leg!""Which one?""Both!""I don't dare, I won't!"They left joking.I watched them get into the elevator. I felt half of my worries had been put to rest.The othe
I looked at Oogway and didn't know how to answer for a while.He turned to look at the ward and said, "I'm no longer young. I can distinguish what I am obsessed with."Although he didn't look at me, I could tell from his expression that he was serious.Which made me sure that what he had clung to was really not like what I thought.I also followed his gaze and looked into the ward.In the ward, Bryan was looking at us.When he found that I was looking at him, he forced a smile and waved at me.I waved back.When I thought of Bryan being fine soon, my heart, which had been hanging, gradually relieved.Oogway must have seen our interaction, so he let out a chuckle.When I turned my head to look at him, he happened to look at me as well.He leaned forward slightly and asked seriously, "Do you know why Dave agreed to marry the Defiant Family?"I was a little confused by him for mentioning this.Oogway saw through my doubts and continued, "Because I found Lita and told her about what happe
Oogway looked at me, and his eyes were cold.For the sake of Bryan, I couldn't care so much. I took the man's arm and said in a friendly tone, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I won't go to the bar again. Please forgive me."Oogway looked at me saying nothing.I didn't know what he meant.I stared at him quietly and didn't know what to do next.What else does he want me to do?My mind wandered, but I was already fully prepared for anything that could happen.After a while, Oogway put the ring in his pocket, stood up and said, "Let's go.""OK!"I thought he had forgiven me, so I hurried to follow him.We sat in his car together.The smell of alcohol lingered in his car.I was a little embarrassed but I didn't say anything.Oogway started the car and drove out of the community.The car drove for a while before I noticed that it didn't seem to be heading toward the City Hall, so I got nervous again and looked at Oogway, "Where are we going?""To pick up Bryan."He kept his eyes on the road as
Oogway picked me up and carried me into the car. I looked at him as he started the engine. I grabbed his arm and said, "I don't want to go home.""You don't?" He raised his eyebrows slightly."If I go back like this, they will be worried. Please help me... Call Kelvin and tell him I'll not go home today."I was so drunk. They will be worried about me if I went back. After all, I would not drink for no reason.Oogway nodded. I sat in the passenger seat and listened to him call Kelvin.When he hung up, he handed me the phone and started the car, "Is it okay to go to our home?"Our home?Oh, I know where it is.I nodded.I was going to be his wife anyway. That place was going to be our home in the future.I wouldn't be able to escape the reality.After a while, I fell asleep dazedly. However, maybe it was because I was in Oogway' car, I didn't sleep too deep.Not knowing how long had passed, I felt the car had stopped and he carried me.It was pitch black in front of me. I opened my e
In the evening, even the most prosperous place in the City was quiet. Around the high office buildings, there were only a few lights that were still on.I drove to the gate of Mitaka Group.I got out of the car and went to the entrance.The entrance had been closed. I wanted to go in, but a security guard came over and said, "It's closed."I looked up at the large building, except for the security room lights being on, the whole building was all dark.It seemed that Towering High was very kind to the employees, and there was not even a person working overtime.I didn't know what I wanted to do here. I hesitated for a moment, turned around and left.Back in the car, I continued driving.Finally, I found a lively place.On both sides of the road, rows of luxury cars were parked. At the entrance, the young men and women dressed in various kinds of clothes were chatting at the door, and some people were vomiting in the tree pits.Liquor.I wanted to drink.Perhaps if I was drunk, I would
Oogway put his arm around my waist and said to Teresa, "Miss Teresa, you are also a famous lady in this City. Whether in terms of social status or background, you are better than my Alina. But men love her, not you. Don't you think it's shameful? What are you still arguing for?"He made Teresa's face turn pale in a few words.She stared at Oogway and said with a fake smile, "Well, well, what's wrong with you? Do you believe she loves you and is willing to marry you just because she says? Tell you what, Oogway, she and Dave love each other no matter where they are!""Since you know it, what are you clinging to?"Oogway asked her.Teresa looked at Oogway and sneered. "Then what are you clinging to? We are all clinging to the same thing. Why do you ask me?"Hearing what Teresa said, Oogway's face was still calm.He drew back his hand, propped both elbows on the table, looked at Teresa and said slowly, "How do you know that we are clinging to the same thing?"Teresa suddenly became speech
