It was clearly illustrated on the billboard that a press conference about a new book publication held by the genius designer, Lita Defiant, would be held here today.

In less than a month, Lita had published her design works as well as her books.

No wonder she cared so much about the design draft in my hand. After all, once I exposed her, all of her "efforts" would be in vain.

But since I was already here, I could only take the coffee in.

Inside, a staff member came over and pointed to a place not far ahead for me to drop the coffee and leave.

Lita was surrounded by a group of people for an interview not far away from me and I didn't want to get involved with her so I walked over, placed down the coffee, and intended to leave.

Just then, I heard someone on the side say, "Oh, this delivery woman looks a lot like Miss Defiant."

Everyone was staring at me at this point.

I lowered my head as I tried to leave, only to be blocked by the ones who swarmed over.

Then, I heard Lita shouting behi

    It was late autumn.I had just finished dinner and was watching TV with Dave sitting at the other end reading a book.He patted the sofa beside him and said, "Put your feet here.""What's wrong?" I looked at him suspiciously."Put your feet here." He repeated without answering me.I hesitated for a moment but still did as I was told.After, Dave sat down beside me and placed my feet on himself."What are you doing?"I was surprised and wanted to pull my feet but Dave held my feet tightly and warned, "Don't move. Otherwise, you will regret it.""Don't do this. My feet are cold."I knew how cold my feet were and I was very embarrassed as my feet directly touched his abdominal muscles through his shirt."Why didn't you tell me your hands and feet get cold during winter?"I didn't respond but the next day, when Dave picked me up after I got off work, he didn't take me back to my place, instead he took me to another building in the same unit but a little distance from my apartment.The bui

    I realized my face was covered with my hands and feet tied to the chair.I tried to move and suddenly heard footstep. I shouted subconsciously, "Help!""Help? Hahaha!" A woman's voice rang and it was a voice I would never forget.I couldn't help but feel my flesh creep. "Mrs. Boone." I called out with my voice trembling.She was the head of the gang sisters who had abused me in prison. This woman was the cause of all my pain."Not bad. You still remember me. I heard you are living a good life now. You live in a big house. In that case, how can you forget sorting me out?"As soon as she spoke, all the painful memories in prison came back.As my head was covered and all I could see was pitch black darkness, fear rose in my heart.I begged, "Mrs. Boone, I'll give you anything. Anything at all. Please let me go..."I was scared out of my wits at this time."Let you go? You are day dreaming! Since you are here, there's no way you will be leaving here alive." She paused and added, "But befo

    "Lita Defiant! I'm saving those photos on a cloud drive. If I don't log on the cloud within the next few hours, those photos will automatically be uploaded onto domestic forums..... Ah!"I yelled out loud but before I could finish my words, someone had kicked me in the stomach.I was in pain as I curled up on the ground, repeating the same words hoping Lita would hear me."What are you yelling for?"They all came over and began kicking and hitting me. The stench of blood in my mouth getting stronger and stronger.I started to feel my limbs going numb because of the pain. Lying on the ground, I dared not move at all.The most ridiculous thing about all this was me thinking about Dave Mitaka. I thought if I could make it out of here, Dave and I would get along with each other since we were already on good terms.Lita seemed to have heard what I said because Mrs. Boone repeated exactly what I had said. After a while, she said to the ones hitting me, "Stop hitting her. Can you afford to

    They came back and tortured me the same way they had done in prison but this time, they beat me up more unscrupulously. As I curled up in the cage, they held candles in their hands above the cage and let the wax drip down into the cage.I could only keep dodging, but end up getting burnt from time to time.Later, they changed the candles to cigarettes then knives. It was just like they were playing a game.No matter how hard I tried to dodge, I would be hurt.My body was cut by the knives and my clothes was soaked in blood.Fearing that I would die from loosing too much blood, they stopped torturing me.I lay in the cage in a twisted position. Although I was not badly hurt, I felt pain all over my body.It was already late at night. I felt uncomfortable and couldn't fall asleep when I heard Mrs. Boone making a phone call.I couldn't tell who she was talking to but judging from her tone, it sounded like she was coaxing a child.A child? I found this idea ridiculous. For a woman like M

    I was not seriously injured. My wounds were all superficial and would healed soon. Fortunately, although Dave had been shot, the bullet only grazed his skin. His organs were fine but he needed to rest.On the second day after I was admited, a detective came over for my statement and I told him everything.Thinking of everything I had suffered recently and that Lita had made me lose my baby, I decided I would not let her go this time.I told him all I had suffered in prison in a somewhat exaggerated tone and at the same time showed him the scars.It could be seen that he somewhat sympathized with me after seeing the scars.Taking advantage of his softheartedness, I told him everything about what had happened after I was released asking him to investigate whether it had anything to do with Lita. In the end, I asked him to keep the progress of the investigation a secret from everyone else.I feared someone would some how intervene with the investigation.He hesitated for a moment but ag

    Lita's words made me ascertain that the Detective didn't tell her anything and Dave was busy with the affairs of his company so he also didn't have any idea about what I had going on.It seems I will be making her pay for what she has done this time.Without further ado, I hung up the phone.Although I knew Lita would get her retribution soon, my heart was still in a mess after all, she had answered my call, proving that Dave was with her.In the afternoon of the next day, the Detective called and notified me that Lita had been arrested from her studio earlier. Lita had said a lot of arrogant words in front of the police but facing the evidence, she had to confess what she had done.Lita was detained and was not going to be released due to the seriousness of her crime.How familiar this plot was! It was me who had been detained those two previous times and now is her time.The second day after she was arrested, I went to see her.When Lita saw me, she rushed up and yelled angrily but

    Although I drove Helen and Thomas away once, it didn't mean that I could live a comfortable life.Other relatives of the Defiant Family, who had never contacted me before, also called me several times. I didn't know their identities and answered their calls.Only after I picked up their calls did I know they were relatives of the Defiant Family.In the years when I was in Defiant Family, they didn't even say a word to me, let alone getting along with me. However, at this time, for Lita, they all tried to play up to me, hoping I would make peace with Lita outside court.It was impossible for me to agree with their requests.After I hung up the phone, I blacklisted all the numbers one by one.I only care about one person in the Defiant Family.In the end, Judith called me in person.When I received Judith's call, I couldn't help but feel nervous. Knowing that I surely couldn't hang up her call, I answered.Judith chatted with me for a while over the phone then she asked if I had time at

    Dave caught up with me, pulled me back down the stairs, and pressed me against the wall. Burying his head in my neck and pressing his thin lips against my ears, he said slowly, "Withdraw the complaint, okay?"This time, it was clear he spoke in a gentle tone.There was even pleading in his tone.I closed my eyes, clenched my hands into a fist, and pressed them against the wall, "It's impossible. Unless I die."My answer was still the same."I knew all about your investigation earlier. I know you hate her. You are angry and you want to take revenge in this way. I understand your feelings so I never intervened in this matter, allowing the police to investigate. Now, she has been in the detention center for a month... If you think it's not enough, I can help her make it up to you."Hearing him, I was infuriated. "Make it up to me for her? Why do you have to do that for her?"I pushed Dave away. Looking at him, my heart hurt so much.I seemed to have realized something, "I get it. You w

    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
