The CEO's Switched Bride Chapter 74
"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

After the phone connected, I said briefly, "I'll withdraw my case."The one over the phone was silent at first. After a while, I heard him say "Okay.""However, I have two conditions.""Name them.""First of all, you can't do anything to the orphanage and Haick Design.""Okay.""Secondly, I want a divorce."I had already figured it out. However much I loved Dave, Dave would only have Lita on his mind and in his heart. In that case, I shouldn't hold onto those unrealistic illusions anymore.Dave had never fallen in love with me. From the beginning to the end, he was always in love with Lita Defiant.Originally, I thought Dave would agree with my request without hesitation but there was silence instead.After a long while, Dave said, "I won't agree with the second one."I was a little surprised. "There are two conditions. Both of them are indispensable. At present, Mr. Mitaka, you'd better consider whether to save your lover or not. Enough with this painful marriage""Is our marriage a

In the blink of an eye, it was Monday and I didn't know how I had gotten over from the weekend.I covered the dark circles under my eyes with concealer and applied blush on my face to make me look better.I tidied up my hair neatly and chose a set of clothes and then headed for the Civil Affairs Bureau.In my opinion, it should be the last time I would meet Dave.By the time I arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Dave was already at the entrance.The look on his face was bad and there were dark circles under his eyes with a stubble beard on his chin. He looked somewhat unkempt.This was the first time I had seen him like this. Normally, he was always perfect, mighty, and arrogant.I walked over to him. Before I could say anything, he spoke up first, "Do we have to divorce? Don't you want to think it through?"His tone was a little pleading and I thought I was hearing wrong."Let's get a divorce. Mr. Mitaka, don't get yourself immersed in your hatred. You'd better embrace a new life as

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
