I looked at Dave and bit my lips so hard. I knew very well if I didn't agree with him, there was no way I could defeat him.

Even if I turned to someone else for help, the people around me would get involved. In the end, I compromised.

I looked at him and said, "Okay, I've figured out what I will ask from you in return."

"Go ahead." Dave said.

"I'm going to work in Haick Design and you will promise not to target it again."

I wanted to keep Haick's company.

"Okay. I promise you." Dave nodded.

I wasn’t rest assured, "Mr. Mitaka, I hope you can keep your promise and not act like you did last time. You promised but still secretly plotted against Haick Design."

Dave looked at me with a gloomy face, "I didn't break my promise. I didn't do anything to Haick Design."

"Mr. Mitaka, as for the truth, you know it the best."

Now, I could no longer trust Dave but I had to believe him.

...............

The next day, I went back to Haick Design.

Haick welcomed me enthusiastically but the others didn't

    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 up and supported Jessica readily. Fearing that she wouldn't accept it, I said, "Aunt, can I bathe you? By the way... I can bathe your baby too.""It sounds good!" Jessica accepted it happily.All the nurses looked at me with strange looks.Ignoring the looks, I stepped forward and helped Jessica take a bath.The rehabilitation center of the Way Hospital was in a good condition. There was a Jacuzzi. After I finished pouring the water into the bath, I let Jessica sit inside.I cleaned up the doll first. Seeing that, Jessica became quite obedient.I bathed her with scented soap first and then rubbed her with a bath towel little by little.It had been a long time since Jessica took a bath, making her body covered with a layer of shell like and hard skin. Seeing so, I asked Oogway to fetch me some white vinegar. After that, I bathed her bits by bits.Sensing that the water turned cold, I scooped the cold water out with a basin and added hot water in.Because it had been years sinc

    I stood still and said to her, "We won't do that. We... we'll transfer you and your child to a better place. She... She..." I hesitated for a moment and said, "She is all grown up. And she will have to go to school soon. It's not good for her to be here. She has to go to a better place where there are teachers to impart her knowledge, which is good for her."Upon hearing this, Jessica stared at me with her pair of clear and bright eyes as if she had understood my words and suddenly became as obedient as a child, saying, "Really? Is it true that someone will teach her?""Yes, it is true. The teacher is great and experienced. Any child who follows him can learn a lot and become smart." I tried to persuade her.Jessica nodded desperately, "Okay, okay. That will be so great." She looked at the doll in her arm, "Reed, did you hear that? You can learn soon.""Yes, yes." I echoed. And my tears kept falling.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go transfer her to another

    The nurse took us inside and said, "To be honest, before you, nobody visited the patients here. Generally speaking, the reason why people send patients here is that they have a guilty conscience. They are too embarrassed to kill them and yet find them a burden. So they send them here and pay for their stay here to keep their conscience at bay."The more the nurse said, the more upset I felt.It was quiet on the fifth floor as well.I saw that there was a small window on the door of each ward. With the window high up on the door, someone my height couldn't see what was inside.However, Oogway was taller. He looked around with a frown and a dignified look on his face.Seeing him look like this, I was worried."Bang!" When we were going, a sound rang all of a sudden.I was so frightened that I shrank backward and looked at the door where the noise came from, only to find a face attached tightly to the window on the door.The face was black, dirty, and skinny.The pair of eyes above were

    Oogway and I arrived at the gate together.As expected, there was a security guard at the gate . We went over and saw the old security guard laying there in a thick military green overcoat, listening to music.The sound of the music was quite loud.It wasn't until we called him for a long while that he heard us.Looking at us in discontent, the old guard got up and opened the window of the gatehouse, leaving it ajar."Hello, we want to...""No visit is allowed during the New Year."As soon as I opened my mouth, the guard snapped. After that, he closed the window.He was afraid that we would harass him. Then he locked the window from inside.I became anxious all of a sudden.Oogway beside me wasn't in a hurry at all.He reached out, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a stack of pink banknotes before putting them in front of the window.The security guard's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the money. Instead of opening the window, he came out directly from the gatehouse, o

    I glanced at it and found that there seemed to be an inkstone in the first box.But what was different was that the inkstone wasn't black but red.I was confused. However, as soon as the Master of the Newman Family saw this, his hands began to tremble. Placing his hand a few meters away from the inkstone, he seemed to intend to touch it but dared not do so.After a long while, he asked, "Is this for me?""Of course, it is a red silk inkstone I got by chance. I don't know about this kind of inkstones. It will be a waste if I keep it by my side."Oogway said casually.Although he spoke lightly, I could tell that this inkstone should be quite rare."Thank you, Mr. Oogway." When the Master spoke, he had been staring at the inkstone. It wasn't until a long time later that he gently caressed it with his hands.His expression showed that he loved it so much that he couldn't bear to let it go.After that, Oogway said to the maid, "Open this too."Hearing his words, the maid opened the secon

    There was a cold and determined look in his eyes. Confirming that he wouldn't say it, I wouldn't force him further.Moreover, I knew well that I couldn't control what they were going to do.What I could do was to protect Bryan well in case he would get hurt.I nodded lightly, "Okay. Then I'll go and accompany Bryan."As soon as I intended to open the door, Dave directly pulled me from behind with force. I was caught off guard and fell backward.The next second, I directly sat in Dave's arms.My face turned red. And I said, "No." I struggled to get up. However, Dave restrained me firmly in his arms and placed his other hand on my waist. Holding my waist with both hands, he said to me, "Turn around.""No. I'm leaving.""You can't." Dave refused.I closed my eyes, thinking about Oogway's words and my own identity.Although I wanted to be closer to Dave, I couldn't do it with my identity.I was Oogway's fiancee. Regardless of the excuse, the identity, or the reason. I made up my mind,

    It was night. Even so, I could clearly feel Oogway kept staring at me closely with his pair of profound eyes.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and left.After he left, Bryan, who had been following Dave, suddenly ran over, "Mom, let's set off fireworks together!""Ah... Okay." I nodded.At this moment, Jamin, who had been standing outside all this while, turned around and entered the room.In the blink of an eye, only the three of us were outside the house.We set off most of the fireworks. By the time it was 1 a.m., Bryan was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Thus, we stopped setting off the fireworks.The maid took the fireworks into the room.Holding Bryan in my arms, I said to Dave, "Then we will go back."After that, I turned around, intending to ask the driver to drive us back, only to be suddenly pulled by Dave. Then, I heard his magnetic voice, "Stay here tonight."My heart thumped."Being here without Oogway.. Won't that mean..."In fact, I didn't want to leave a

    I leaned on Oogway and played with my cell phone for a while before falling asleep.Located in the city center, Jamin's house was surrounded by residential communities. As soon as it was midnight, the sounds of firecrackers rang from all directions!I opened my eyes. Beside me, Oogway sat there with the same posture as he had before I went to bed.He looked at me. "You up?""Yes." I nodded and glanced at the watch on my cell phone, only to find that it had been midnight.Glamourous fireworks was on outside the window.Looking at Bryan sleeping soundly, I somewhat couldn't bear to wake him up.Oogway seemed to sense my hesitation and said with a smile, "Wake him up. It happens once a year. Otherwise, he will blame you."I nodded and patted Bryan's shoulder lightly. Putting my face close to his ear, I whispered, "Baby, get up, they've started setting off the firecrackers."Hearing my words, Bryan seemed to have been awakened by an alarm.He immediately opened his eyes and sat up from t

    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
