I returned the money to Kim.She asked while eating, "What are you going to do? Are you going to let Lita off so easily?""I need to think about this again."Of course, I wouldn't let Lita Defiant off the hook that easily but I feared Dave.I feared he would indeed do something to the orphanage or Kim in a fit of anger.After that day, Dave, whose self esteem probably had been hurt by me, hadn't shown up in front of me for two consecutive months.The weather turned cold. I was in poor health. Because of what I had suffered in prison, I had become sensitive to cold. No matter the number of clothes I wore, my hands and feet were still cold.I didn't go out. I wrapped myself in a quilt and watched TV at home."A branch company of the Mitaka Group held a press conference with Lita's Studio, which just joined Mitaka Group, in recent days. At the conference, the design sketches of the new products in the next spring produced by Lita's Studio has been exhibited..."Hearing the Mitaka Gro

The sound of a car being powered off came from downstairs then, I heard Lita and Helen's voice.I am doomed!I hurried out of the room and hurried downstairs, intending to go out. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Lita and Helen standing at the door.The two of them were stunned when they saw me. Lita immediately came to her senses and took off my wig, "Reed Defiant, what are you doing here?"Helen was puzzled to see him there.The servant came out hurriedly. When she saw me, and the wig in Lita's hand, she was stunned.Helen scolded the servant directly, "Can't you even tell who the Miss is?""Sorry, I, I didn't pay attention."The servant was so scared that she apologized.The way I saw it, this servant was here to replace June.Out of kindness, I said, "She can't tell Lita and I apart and it's not her fault."As soon as I spoke, Helen paid attention to me. She pointed to me and questioned, "Tell me, what are you doing here? Did you come to steal something?"She asked while tryi

My vision was blurred and my ears were buzzing.I heard Thomas scold me exasperatedly, "We gave birth to you and raised you yet you stealing from us. How dare you call her that?""Reed!" Lita pretended to come over to hold me and said to Thomas, "Dad, Reed is someone with a criminal record. It's not easy for her to find a job. She won't be wanted by any company so she surely did so out of desperation."I sneered and pushed Lita away, "Stop pretending, okay?""Reed.""Look! You speak up for her yet she doesn't even take your kindness to heart. She's such an ungrateful thing!"Helen pulled Lita to her side."Yeah. You...""It's enough!"When Thomas raised his hand, intending to hit me again, Judith, who was sitting on the side, finally spoke up.She waved to me and said kindly, "Come on. Reed, sit here.""Mom, you can't be deceived by her anymore!"Seeing that they had been putting on a show with great effort for so long and yet Judith didn't change her attitude towards me, Thomas was s

After I got home, I tried to turn on the laptop, only to find that it seemed to be broken. Helplessly, I put off the power.The next day, I received a call from Judith, urging me to move into the new apartment.I didn't have many things. I tidied up my usual clothes, my laptop and tablet then I opened the house property certificate. Reading the address on it, my jaw instantly dropped, Unit No.1.If one was asked for the residential quarter of the City with the best location as well as the most expensive, it had to be Unit No.1.This residential quarter was surrounded by water on all sides and its property management was of first class.If it weren't for my name on the house property certificate, I would have thought Judith had given me the wrong one.I took a taxi to the entrance of the residential quarter, a security guard eyed me and drove me away very rudely, "Go away. Promotion is not allowed here."I hurried to explain, "I'm a new owner. I'm moving in today.""An owner? What is t

There were a total of three apartments on this floor. Based on the layout of the door, it could be seen that the room opposite mine and my room should be small sized apartments. While Oogway's apartment was a big one.After he went in, I didn't stay at the door any longer.As soon as I entered the apartment, I was attracted by the big floor to ceiling windows in front of me. There was a sea view outside making the scenery pretty.I packed up my things and decided to get my laptop repaired.As soon as I walked out of the door, my cell phone rang.Dave was calling.Because there were servants in the villa, as soon as I left, they surely would have informed Dave."Where are you?"After I picked the call, Dave's cold voice came over the phone.I didn't want to find an excuse so I told him what Judith had said, "Grandma already knows that we are in a deadlock. She said that, although the Defiant Family is not as good as the Mitaka Family, I don't have to live under your roof.""Where else

I looked at Dave, wondering what he was up to.I thought he would leave after the meal. I obediently did the cooking and called out to him to come have a seat.After Dave sat down, he patted the chair next to him and said, "Sit here."I hesitated for a moment before sitting by his side.At this time, all what I wanted was to satisfy him so he would leave.I sat on the side and watched Dave have his meal.He finished one bowl of rice, then a second bowl as he asked me to help him get a third bowl, I asked him kindly, "Do you eat so much for dinner now?"Dave did not respond.I didn't ask any more as I could only fill another bowl of rice for him.After dinner, he said he wanted to deal with his work using my tablet. I dared not refuse him. After giving the tablet to him, I went to the bedroom alone with my cell phone and sent a text message to Kim.I told her all about Dave's abnormality today.Kim only replied with one sentence, "He is h*rny or he misses you."I replied, "No way!"Ki

I stole a glance at him, whose upper body was naked. As the cold moonlight shone on his muscular muscles, he looked firm and tempting...There was an inexplicable desire surging in my heart and I quickly closed my eyes.I felt that Dave had placed me on a bed again and hugged me from behind. As he rubbed against my cheeks with his wet and soft hair, it tickled me.I was anxious he would do something to me but then I felt his thin lips close to my ear and he said in a very light voice, "Reed Defiant, I seem to have fallen for you."His simple words stunned me.What does that mean? Does he like me?But how could it be...It's probably as Kim said. Men will tend to cherish a woman only after they lose her.This kind of cherish is not the feeling of love but a sense of defeat after he lost control of his things.I had been thinking randomly for a long time and in the end, I fell asleep amid Dave's faintly discernible breath...The next morning when I woke up, Dave and I were still in th

On the third day after the death of Joshua, as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the company, I saw a group of people gathered in front of the office building, from which came a baby's crying.I squeezed in and saw a woman with three children. Her eldest daughter was kneeling on the ground and the two babies who were still in their cradles were put on the ground, crying miserably.Behind them, there was a white banner printed with black words, which read "Haick Design, you owe me my husband's life!"I knew who these people were at once!"Everyone, do me a favor! Haick Design is a merciless company. They asked my husband to work day and night nonstop to expedite their project. In the end, he was exhausted and died suddenly at the construction site! It wasn't until his body was almost decaying that he was found!""He's the breadwinner of my family. I stay at home raising three children alone. I don't go out to work. He's dead. What should I do now?"Joshua's wife cried and made a fus

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
