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

    Two men came over and greeted, "Mr. Mitaka."Noticing me, their eyes lit up. One of them said, "Oh, Mr. Mitaka, you are here with a female companion tonight. Why didn't you bring her with you a few days ago?"The other said, "If you have such a beautiful female companion by your side, will you bring her to an occasion where there are many lustful men?""That's true. That's true.""Mr. Mitaka, this female companion of yours is indeed so beautiful."Both of them were flattering Dave however, their words indicated that they only treated me like a disposable girlfriend of Dave.I didn't mind their words but I heard Dave next to me say in a low voice, "This is my fiancee." With a hint of displeasure in his voice.As soon as he said these words, the two men showed surprised expressions on their faces, "Fi... fiancée! When you get married, remember to inform us."The two of them said one after the other and then left.Seeing them leave, I was relieved.Later on, quite a few more people came

    Janet quickly looked up and explained to Bleak, "I didn't say that." Then she raised her hand, intending to slap me!When I was about to dodge her, Dave reached out his hand from the side and directly blocked Janet's.Then, I heard his slightly unhappy voice, "Mr. Bleak, could it be that you can't restrain your woman well? Are you going to let me teach her a lesson for you?"Every word of his was as cold as ice."No need to trouble you, Mr. Mitaka." At this time, there was a trace of displeasure on Bleak's face as well. He placed his arms around Janet's waist and walked away.I looked at the backs of the two. Although they left the venue in harmony as if they were the perfect couple, in reality, Bleak was pinching Janet's waist tightly with his hand.The veins on the back of his hands were obvious.Janet, who was wearing high heels, twisted her body from time to time as she accidentally stumbled a little."Not bad." As soon as the two of them left, Dave pulled me into his arms, "You'

    "Come on. Come on. Let everyone see what you look like right now. There's no way you will be Mrs. Mitaka for too long. Weren't you happy about it?" Janet had indeed come back for revenge!"I want to see her face too."At this time, Bleak came out of nowhere and shook away my hand with which I had covered my face with.He tugged at my hair and turned my face around.Everyone was stunned by what was right in front of them.Most of them looked frightened rather than taking pleasure in my misfortune.I could imagine what my face looked like. It should be the same as one in a horror movie.Finally, a woman thought of taking out her cell phone to take photos of me. I was so scared that I lowered my head and covered my face, pleading, "Let me go.""I won't." Bleak laughed coldly, "Janet told me you looked like this just now. I wasn't convinced but I didn't expect that Mr. Mitaka would have such a unique hobby for women."People around began to take pictures of me.Everyone, who originally h

    The next day, we returned to our City.I went to the hospital for an examination and the doctor tested my skin. After a week, the hospital simulated and formulated a complete set of treatment plans for my skin.And they also simulated the extent of the recovery rate.According to the simulation, my face probably would restore its original appearance after a year's treatment and half a year's recovery. However, there would be some differences but I could accept such a result.That day, Dave and I signed an agreement in the hospital and planned to get the treatment started a week later.I had bought a lot of painting tools. In fact, it wasn't a problem for me not to go out.I was indulged in drawing every day. Even if I just drew a sketch of fruits, I enjoyed myself.Days passed by one after another.The day for my treatment was around the corner. I inexplicably became nervous. I was afraid of the risk of the treatment. Moreover, I was afraid that I couldn't recover well.On the night b

    The next day, my period came, making me have an excuse for not making love with Dave. But every time I closed my eyes, the scene on the screen that night kept showing up in front of my eyes.At night, I would dream of the same scene and I could even hear the screaming, and begging for mercy.After three days, I couldn't stand it anymore.The moment Dave opened the door, I suddenly hugged him, "Dave Mitaka, I'm sorry. That day, in your study, I saw those whom you've locked up in a cell."I had to say it. Otherwise, I probably would drive myself crazy.He didn't seem to be surprised at all. He hugged me with one hand and said flatly, "I know. That night you asked if I had killed anyone. I knew you surely had seen it."It turned out that he had long known I had peeked on him in his study. In that case, why didn't he ask?Could it be that he was waiting for me to talk about it first?The look on his face made me even more afraid. I didn't know what to say. He hugged me and said, "Those p

    The room was antique and with the furniture all made of rosewood, the carving on it was exquisite.Damian respectfully invited Kelvin to sit on the seat of honor.Unexpectedly, Kelvin sat on a rosewood armchair with a reluctant look on his face, "Oh, why are you like the old fashioned ones in my family? How come you are particular about these things? It's not as comfortable to sit on these as to sit on a sofa.""The ones I get along with all like them. I'll have to buy some." Damian said with a smile, "Did you check the works displayed in the exhibition hall? What do you think of them?""Not good." Kelvin said directly.Damian didn't get angry as he continued to ask, "Why don't you give me some advice?"As he said this, he took out a booklet displaying the works in the exhibition hall and handed it to Kelvin.I sat by the side and saw Kelvin flipping through the booklet as he complained with Damian smiling apologetically on the side.The more I saw it, the more subtle I thought the re

    After hanging up, I couldn't help but feel confused.What should I gift Kim with?I went home, sat in front of the computer and searched Google. Then I heard someone reading behind me, "What kind of gift does a tough woman focusing on her career like?"As soon as I turned my head, I saw Dave, who was dressed in a suit, standing behind me with his back bent as he stared at the screen closely."Who's going to have a birthday celebration?"Dave straightened up, undid his necktie, and asked."Kim." I didn't intend to hide anything from him."It turns out that it is she..." Dave was silent for a while before saying, "If you need to go out to buy anything, I will accompany you."I searched online for a long time, only to find that most answers said that women were all inherently gentle in their hearts and that those women who looked strong on the surface were just guarding themselves by pretending to be strong.Never would they let anyone find out they were weak so there was no need to trea

    Desmond had so many women by his side so, in the woman's opinion, it was only natural for her to seize the chance to take advantage of him.She didn't sincerely care about whether or not Desmond remembered her name."Okay, okay, okay, I'll buy them!" Desmond surely didn't want to make this woman angry. He looked at me and said, "Sister in law! Sister in law!"I looked at Desmond and said with a smile, "Mr. Desmond, do you know who I'm giving these heels to?""Who is it?" ."Kim. It's her birthday in a few days. This is my birthday gift for her."As soon as I mentioned Kim...Desmond's expression immediately changed.He didn't even hesitate for a second before saying, "Sister in law, keep the heels."The woman was taken aback, calling out, "Mr. Desmond.""There are so many pairs of heels. Why does it have to be this pair?"I didn't know if it was my illusion but after I had mentioned Kim, Desmond dramatically changed his attitude towards the woman next to him."But I only like this pa

    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
