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 this time, the water in the bathtub had already reached my waist. Dave held me, kissed me, and murmured, "Baby, I have been thinking about you all day long today. Can you tag along with me tomorrow or... later in the evening? Come with me. I have a strong addiction to you. From the past to now, I can't get rid of you no matter how hard I try.""I, I'll wait for you here."I was quite clear headed.Especially at this moment, I was facing the French window. As long as I looked up, I could see my face reflected on the French window. Although Dave didn't mind...I did mind."I don't mind at all. No one will mind." Dave wrapped his arms around my waist, leading the movements."I'll wait for you here."No matter how indulged I was, I was sober when it came to this matter.Dave and I made love from the bathtub to the bed. He seemed to have endless strength this time. No matter how hard he tortured me, he didn't feel satisfied.When I woke up the next morning, Dave had left.I was the onl

    Dave came over calmly and "pulled" me out from behind the pillar at the door, trying to take me to his companion.There was both males and females all wearing formal gowns.The men's hairstyle was neat and the women's makeup was exquisite.This was especially true for one woman among them. She was dressed in a noble champagne colored gown. With a shawl draped over her shoulders, she had tied up her hair into a bun.She had an air of dominance.With a rough glance at her, I knew l was overwhelmingly inferior compared with her.In front of such a woman, I wasn't willing to come out at all."I, I'll go first!" I panicked, got rid of his hand, and ran out quickly.I don't want to embarrass him.I thought it would be fine as long as I ran away. However, Dave quickly caught up with me and held me in his arms, "Okay, okay, I won't force you.""I... ","Wait for me here. I'll talk to them and then go up to keep you company."He comforted me in a gentle voice.He was so gentle.I nodded sadly

    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
