With the door to Bryan's room unlocked, I pushed it open and saw Bryan lying on a little bed.He was sleeping soundly under a small blue quilt.I didn't trust Oogway. Walking over, I touched Bryan's forehead, put my fingers under his nostrils, and felt if there was any breath.After confirming that Bryan was still alive and that his temperature was normal, I was finally at ease in my heart.I left Bryan's room. After closing the door, I asked the maid, "What's your name?"Hearing my question, the maid seemed to be flattered and said with a smile, "Madam, my name is Emily Welch.""Oh, okay, Emily." I sized her up and down and asked, "How old are you?"She looked young.Emily immediately replied, "I'm 20 years this year.""20 years old? You are so young? Aren't you in college?" I was a little surprised.Hearing this, Emily was a little embarrassed, "Yes, my family is poor. And my parents bore a lot of children. I have two younger brothers. So, instead of going to college, I came out to

Putting the tableware for Bryan next to me, Emily stood aside.I patted the seat next to me and said, "Come on, Bryan, sit here.""Okay." Nodding his head, he obediently came over.After he sat down, I put some food in his bowl. At his age, he knew how to eat by himself.Back in Town, Kelvin taught Bryan that no talking over meal since his childhood. So most of the time over meal, he didn't speak much.It was also because Bryan didn't say anything that the atmosphere over the entire meal was exceptionally oppressive.Neither Oogway nor I said a word. And Bryan focused on his meal.For a moment, it was surprisingly quiet in the large house.Only the sounds of chopsticks knocking against the cutlery rang out at times.After half an hour, I finished my meal.Seeing that there were only a few dishes left in Bryan's bowl, I asked him, "Do you want extra?""Yes! I want to eat that!"Bryan pointed to the green broccoli.As I was about to pick up the cutlery and put broccoli in Bryan's bowl,

Bryan's small bedroom looked exactly like a toy house.Oogway bought him another big racing track on which he could play toy racing.Each time, he would put a few cars there and start a competition.The three of us had fun together for hours.At 10 p.m., Bryan refused to go to bed. In the end, per my repeated persuasion, he fell asleep after hearing seven stories from me.As soon as Bryan fell asleep, I walked out of the room. Before I could go downstairs, I heard Emily's voice.I stood quietly at the corner of the stairs.There was only a little lamp in the living room.The light was dim.With Oogway sitting on a single person sofa in the living room, Emily stood on the side and talked about her affairs non stop.Women all got sinking feelings. Standing there, I suddenly realized that the relationship between Oogway and Emily suddenly changed. But what was the reason for this change?I didn't know.If it got down to the fact that Emily's past had aroused Oogway's interest, I surely

In the next few days, Marie and I officially began to discuss setting up a studio.And we would start with creating a logo for our studio.In terms of the studio's logo, both Marie and I had the same idea. We made a pattern of a butterfly and worked out several designs.We quickly finalized a plan.Marie then told me she got an office with cheap rent. After going there to have a check, she found it suitable and agreed to rent it.After she showed me where the office was, I was stunned.It turned out that the office Marie had found was actually the one that Dave had once given to me.Seeing this, I subconsciously refused, "We can't set up our studio here.""Why?" Marie was a little surprised, asking, "Come in first. Do you know how convenient the conditions here are? There is good public transport. And the layout is suitable. Most importantly, the rent here is very cheap!""Then do you know why its rent is so cheap? And who rented it out to you?"As far as I knew, the owner of this hou

I was in Oogway's arms for a while before raising my head and saying, "I'm going to wake Bryan up.""You don't have to do that." Oogway grabbed me, "Leave Bryan to the maids. We will only be there for a few hours. And we will come back at noon."I turned my head and glanced at Emily.At this time, hearing Oogway's words, she, who had a fake smile on her face, said with great enthusiasm, "Master, Madam, rest assured that you can leave Young Master to me. Having been taking care of my younger brother since my childhood, I surely won't let him encounter any accidents.""Alright."Oogway answered.He seemed to be very at ease with her.I hesitated for a moment. Knowing that Oogway indeed didn't intend to take Bryan with us, I could only say, "Okay."However, Emily made me pretty ill at ease.After telling Bryan that Oogway and I had to go out for a few hours, I went downstairs and found Janice and Lacy in the kitchen.I said to them, "Oogway and I have to go out this morning and we will o

The fact that Oogway officially announced the relationship between him and me on such an important day left me no room to go back on my words.Because now everyone knew it.After the press conference was over, both Annabel and Joshua came over and greeted me respectfully, "Mrs. Mitaka."I felt depressed in my heart. But I couldn't say anything.Walking to me after finishing everything at the press conference, Oogway seemed to sense that I was somewhat unhappy. So he raised his hand and patted me on the shoulder, asking, "What's wrong? Aren't you happy? Don't you like the surprise I prepared for you?""No, I'm very happy." I chuckled.Oogway looked at me with a gentle look in his eyes. Staring at me, he curled up the corner of his mouth slightly, reaching out, and held my hand. Pressing his thin lips against my ear, he said, "I know. You are looking forward to the day when everyone in the world knows that you are Mrs. Mitaka. But I know that you are expecting another man surnamed Mita

Hearing Oogway's words, Bryan blinked his eyes and asked on the side, "What is a one night stand?"Thinking that one night stand was a word with multiple meanings, I knew that we couldn't enlighten Bryan about it with a few sentences within a short period."Okay." I agreed and looked at the things inside the bag, only to see two sets of suits for Bryan.I took the clothes out and said to Bryan, "Bryan, today, Mom and Mr. Mitaka will take you to see a lot of people. Well, speaking of these people, they may say some strange words. It doesn't matter if you don't like them. We only have to see them today. After today, we may never see them again."I knew that I shouldn't have said so to Bryan, a four and a half year old child. But I was going to take him with me to the Mitaka family house tonight. And this made me uneasy.Hearing that I said so to Bryan, Oogway squatted down, pulled Bryan's hand, and said in a gentle tone, "Don't be afraid. If there is anything, you can turn to me for hel

The engagement banquet was held in one of the hotels of the Mitaka Family.After we arrived, I saw a lot of luxury cars parked at the entrance.Oogway was an unexpected rising force to the people in the Mitaka Family and the City. Moreover, the pharmaceutical industry was an indispensable industry. As human beings' life span was getting longer and longer, naturally, we relied more and more on medicine.Admittedly, the ones mastering high end pharmaceutical technology had mastered the way to make money.From a long term perspective, the pharmaceutical industry surely wouldn't be less promising than the industries like the smartphone industry.Nobody was stupid. So a lot of people attended Oogway's engagement party for the links and building of mutual grounds.As we walked inside, every guest said in our ears, "Congratulations! Congratulations!"But I could notice that almost everyone stared at Bryan without exception.Even though we walked past them, they kept looking in Bryan's direct

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

Judith's home looked the same as before, and the furniture wasn't changed, which made me gratified.After entering, Comfort said, "You can stay. I'll come back tomorrow morning. I'll go first.""Don't you want to stay here?" I looked at Comfort in surprise."I, I have a place, I don't live here!" Comfort's face was full of panic, as if she was afraid that I would ask more.At that moment, my mind suddenly became clear. I walked over and grabbed Comfort's hand, "No! If you want the exchange for my apartment, you must stay here with me for the night!""I won't stay!" Comfort shook off my hand with all her might!Her eyes were filled with fear!It was as though she resisted being here!What was she afraid of?Even though I didn't have a clear head on this day, my mind was unusually clear at this very moment.I pulled her and said, "No, then I won't do the exchange."Hearing this, Comfort immediately hesitated and begged, "I, I want to go back and take care of my husband...""You can ask

My heart went from anger, to panic, to numbness.In the end, I didn't even know when this farce would end.I didn't know how many tears I had shed.However, when I came to myself, the people around me seemed to have dispersed, as if the police had come to stop them.In the end, I was left alone.I felt like I was deprived of all my feelings.I couldn't feel sadness, anger or grief.I stood up. I was pointed at by passerbys when I made my way back, finally, I arrived at the No.1 on foot.Along the way, I was in a daze.I didn't quite remember what happened.I went home, took a shower, changed my clothes, and sat down on the sofa.My brain was in a mess.I completely seemed to have entered a state where I couldn't help denying myself.As I sat there, all I thought about was... all these things happened because of me.Because of me, the studio was destroyed.Because of me, all the orders had been cancelled.Because of me, my mother's life was exposed to the public.Because of me, Dave's

At nine o'clock the next morning, I found Harry's number on my phone. He was my attorney in the case of Helen.In fact, as long as the details of the trial and evidence would go public, things on the Internet would be refuted.I called Harry, and made an appointment at ten o'clock in the morning in a cafe near their Law Firm building with him.After hanging up the phone, I went out.Dave was very busy recently, so I did not disturb him. I took a taxi and went to the place that I had appointed with Harry.After arriving at the entrance, I paid the taxi fee and went upstairs to wait for him.Since it was in the morning, the cafe was almost empty. So I chose a corner, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat down calmly.It was only 9:30 a.m.I sat there, thinking over and over again about how to speak to Harry later.If Harry would refuse me or hesitate later, I would have to say something to move him.I practiced countless versions in my mind.At 10 a.m. I saw Harry opening the coffee shop's d

At this time, Marie's phone rang, after listening on for a while, she turned around and went out with a dignified look on her face.I followed Marie out and heard her. "Ms. Sarah, please listen to my explanation. This is an unwarranted rumor. Our designers are not such kind of people. Excuse me, Mrs. Sarah..."She didn't go on meaning the other party hung up.Marie put the phone in her pocket and turned around with disappointment.She looked at me and immediately squeezed out a smile. "The last project has been cancelled, too. It's good. We can rest for a while."Her words made me even sadder.All of this was because of me."I'm sorry. Originally, I thought it was only my own affair, but this also affected the people around me.I went back and Scarlett said, "Alina, why don't you also hold a press conference like Teresa?""No." Marie said behind, "Do you think the Michaelson family opened the press conference at random? They have already distributed questions to the journalists, and

I hadn't used my mobile phone for the past few days. I seemed to be used to it. Although I had my mobile phone, I didn't have time to check out the news.What did they find again?I tried my best to suppress the fear in my heart and clicked open the news with trembling hands.Looking at the news, it was just as I thought.Someone went to visit Helen, who seemed to have gone crazy, and said I killed Lita on the yatch.The man recorded a video stealthily. On the video, Helen only showed half of her face as she said with tears, "In order to let her let Lita off, we gave her all our property. But Reed was too hard hearted, she still didn't agree. She watched Lita being burnt to death in the end!"All the foul mouthed comments about me spread on the Internet.Netizens were crazyly searching, and they found out Lita's disappearance, Dave and Teresa's wedding, and I who should already be dead.This time, every line was actually very easy to piece together to form a complete clue!Because o

The four of us went silent at the same time.Upon seeing this, Desmond had no choice but to stand up. "You can continue. I'll go in and get some drinks."Although he had left, we did not continue either. I was bored for a while so I planned to go to the stern to see what they had gained from fishing.I took a few steps to the stern and saw that only Jerrold and Dave sat there.I was afraid of scaring away the fish, so I kept quiet.Before I got close, I heard Jerrold say, "He has spent a lot of money on this issue. If there is no higher bargaining chip, it will be very difficult to suppress this issue.""What's the price?""At least this." Jerrold said and raised his hand. I thought it was five million, and then I heard him said, "Fifty million."Hearing this number, I was astonished to breathless.Originally, I thought it was already expensive, but I did not expect Jerrold to say, "And now you know the things in which people are most interested are not only the private life of stars
