Looking a little blurry, the photo showed Dave holding me in his arms on a wide road without no one around us amid heavy rain.

I looked at the photo carefully.

It was a picture of me when I had just arrived in the City.

Have someone been keeping an eye on me as soon as I arrived in the City?

If it isn't Dave, who else could it be?

I stood there feeling confused.

After I thought about it randomly for a while, a name emerged in my mind.

Bleak.

Bleak once said he wanted to mess up the Mitaka Family. In that case, he would get what he wanted by doing this!

After I read the news, my heart started beating wildly!

Oh my god! At this moment, what I feared most was that both Bryan and Jamin would be hurt!

At Jamin's age, he surely couldn't withstand this sort of provocation.

I took my cell phone out of my pocket and looked at the screen. For a moment, I didn't know who I was going to call.

Should I call Dave?

No way.

What was the use of calling Oogway?

Should I call Jamin?

No way.

    Briana clearly called out my name, indicating that she had at least known something.In this case, I wouldn't avoid her.There was no way for me to escape.I held my cell phone tightly and replied calmly, "Okay, name the place.""I'll send the location to you."Briana finished her words and hung up the phone.In less than a minute, I received her text indicating where we were going to meet.It was a lounge bar on the second floor of a hotel.I got up and looked at Marie, "Sorry, I may be quite occupied in the next few hours. As for the matters of the studio...""Leave them to me. I can handle these trivial matters." Marie interrupted me and picked up a resume before adding, "Recently, someone working in Mitaka Group previously applied for our vacancy. Do you know her?"After she finished speaking, I took a look at the resume.I couldn't help laughing after seeing the photo without reading the name."Scarlett Benson."After I said this name, I stared at the name on the resume. It was i

    On the way here, I had guessed that Briana would ask me this. After all, Dave was her only son. He and Teresa had been married for a few years. Even though they wanted to have a grandchild, there was no news of Teresa's pregnancy at all.Now Bryan suddenly appeared.Moreover, he is healthy, sensible, and talkative as well as favored by everyone.If Briana didn't know Bryan, it would be fine. But now that she suddenly knew that Bryan probably was her own grandson, she surely would have him on her mind.However, I had been wondering on how to answer her properly.I looked at Briana. Without saying anything, Briana was more nervous than me.i hesitated for a moment and said, "Aunt, regarding this matter, I can't reveal its truth to you. At least, I can't be the one that tells you."I assumed that after hearing my words, Briana surely would understand.After hearing what I said, Briana, who wasn't stupid, looked gloomy, "Is it true that he is my grandson?"I didn't say anything.Briana l

    I frowned and thought, "Sure enough, the reporters are so sensitive that they besieged Mitaka Group so quickly."In order not to cause any unnecessary trouble, I thought I'd better leave.I turned around and left, intending to take a taxi and go back to the studio.When I stood at the intersection and wanted to take a taxi, a media car drove over. Originally, it drove past me. However, it drove back. A man with a camera suddenly got out of the car and took photos of me ferociously.As he snapped photos of me, he shouted, "Alina Jetson! Alina Jetson!"There was distance from here to Mitaka Group. The reporters there couldn't hear the man's shouting. However, the fact that I appeared in this sensitive place would cause a lot of sensation.Hearing the man's shout, the reporters there seemed to have recognized me and ran over in my direction in unison.I was so scared that I lifted my feet and ran.The reporters chased after me.Fortunately, I, who was alone, held a bag only and didn't w

    Originally, Oogway said that he would come pick me up after dinner but I said firmly that Marie would send me home. Hearing my words, he didn't insist no more.That night, we wanted to hung out till late. However, because of the children, we went home at about 9 p.m.After having fun with Aurelia for a whole day, Bryan was tired.By the time Marie dropped us at the door, Bryan had fallen asleep. I held him in my hands and walked in, only to find that only a small lamp was on in the vast house.There was no sight of Oogway in the room but Lacy and Janice.Both of them had an agitated look on their faces. I knew that the reason why they looked like this wasn't because of me but the other two in the house.Seeing me hugging Bryan, neither Lacy nor Janice spoke. I put Bryan in his room.He was exhausted from having fun. When I changed clothes for him, he just muttered in a daze.When I came out, I heard a rustling sound from the master bedroom.I heard a woman's voice as well and I fel

    As soon as Oogway left, Emily, who was at the door just now, came directly to the single sofa and sat down.As soon as she sat down, I said, "Get up." Janice and Lacy didn't expect Emily to be so bold. They both came over and said, "Emily Welch, are you that undisciplined? Get up quickly!""No, I don't want to." Emily didn't want to get up. She touched her thigh and said, "Alas! Mr. Oogway is so amazing. His c*ck is so large. And he last long. As he f**ks me, I enjoy myself so much."I frowned slightly.If I hadn't heard her words with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed that a 20 year old girl would say so. Lacy couldn't bear it any longer, saying, "Emily Welch, what are you talking about? You're shameless.""Am I shameless? Yes! Otherwise, can I enjoy myself?" Emily said happily, "You don't even know how powerful Mr. Oogway is. Look at my legs. I can't even stand firmly. I have been enjoying making love with him for so long a time that my legs are cramping.""Get up from the co

    I was stunned for a moment, "Why?" I thought to myself, "This matter, in fact, isn't groundless. And I believe that if someone with ulterior motives wants to get evidence for this matter, he/she surely will succeed."Marie sighed, "Your precious son is indeed capable of reversing the situation. Based on what my husband told me just now, it is Oogway and Dave who jointly handled this matter this time.""Oogway and Dave joined forces?"Hearing this, I even wondered whether something was wrong with my ears.Marie said mysteriously, "It's true. My husband texted me about this just now."I was somewhat speechless.Marie added, "My husband texted me again, saying the media who won't issue an apology and a notice of clarification within an hour, Oogway and Dave will join forces and screw them.""Is it true?"In my opinion, what Marie had said sounded so exaggerating that I was somewhat unconvinced."I don't know either. Let's wait and see."Hanging up the call, I began to browse the newsfeed

    As soon as I walked back into the corridor, I saw Oogway browsing through his cell phone outside. Seeing me, he frowned slightly, "What's wrong? How come you chased Mr. Johan to the bathroom?"There was a bit of ridicule in Oogway's tone. Even so, his expression was gentle.During this period, I had been by his side so the awkward atmosphere between us had been relieved a little.I walked over and thought about it. In the end, I told him about my mother.After hearing my words, Oogway suddenly put one of his hands on my back and held me in his arms. Looking down at me, he said with a quite gloomy expression on his face, "It's such an important matter. It's not until I discovered it that you tell me the truth. Could it be that I'm that unworthy of your trust?"He didn't speak aloud. Even so, I could hear that he indeed was angry.Holding me in his arms quite tightly, Oogway was increasing his strength little by little, making my body attached to that of his closely.I could sense the

    Oogway wasn't in a hurry. He slowly opened his mouth, "In fact, speaking of the dealership of this drug, across the whole country, there is at least...""Well, she was slow witted. My parents took her girl away and abandoned her, stimulating her in an instant. Then she was more out of her mind and scratched my mother's face, making it covered with bruises! So my parents sent her to a mental hospital!"James couldn't hold it in any longer and blurted it out in an instant.It turns out that my mother had experienced these. Then who on earth is my irresponsible father? According to what Kelvin said, my mother was beautiful and smart. When she left European Architecture, she was a normal person. How come she went crazy after returning to the City?I asked, "Which mental hospital did they sent her to?"James waved his hand, "I sincerely don't know this. That's all I know. I've said everything that I can say. As for the others, I have no idea about them.""Okay." Oogway nodded, "I'll ask m

    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
