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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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 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!'
