"He doesn't care about me at all."

I shook my head and with a wry smile added "Living in the Mitaka Family, he always get what he wants. No one says no to him and no one dares to disobey him. He is just like this because he can't get me."

"It's not just him. Everyone in the Mitaka Family is like this. After all, they were born in such a family..." Oogway lowered his eyelashes slightly as he spoke.

I could see the disappointment in his eyes.

I tried to comfort him. "Oogway, don't be sad. You have a family that acknowledges you, not mine."

I started to talk about what I had experienced endlessly.

Oogway listened and in the end, he said, "Thank you for telling me your personal affairs. It's Dave's loss that he doesn't cherish you."

It was late at night. Oogway and I said goodbye to each other and went home respectively.

That night, I couldn't sleep.

The next day, I went to work with dark circles under my eyes.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw my colleagues crowding together and g

    The venue was in one of the best hotels in the City Y. If a company could hold its annual conference here, it indicated that the company was financially powerful. However, our company only booked a small banquet hall.At first, I was worried that my outfit would be too exaggerated but after I went in, I found that everyone else was dressed to the nines with exquisite makeup. Only then was I relieved.I took off my coat after getting in.Haick was the Vice President. As soon as he got in, he was called away by the manager. He asked me to tag along but I refused. After all, all the executives were by the manager's side. As a young designer, I surely would make them dissatisfied if I joined.I found a seat in the corner and sat down.As soon as I sat down, a man sat next to me.I knew who he was. He was Anthony Brahe from the Customer Service Department.As soon as Anthony sat down, he said, "Reed, you used to wear conservative outfits in the company. I didn't expect you to have such a g

    Dave was infuriated when he heard my words. He increased the strength in his hand. His other hand was no longer pressing against the wall. He clung to my waist tightly with his hand and said, "As long as you say it, I won't be your brother in law. I'll be your man.""Let me go!" I tried pushing him but to no avail.I felt his lower member attached to my lower body and I felt a strong sense of danger."I miss you very much, Reed. Did you know? You are all I can think about every time since you left."Dave held me in his arms and looked up at me with strong desire in his eyes..."You're drunk..."Every time he said this, he was either sick or drunk but Dave looked at me and said word by word, "I haven't taken a single drop of wine yet."Only then did I realize I didn't smell any alcohol on him.He was completely sober.I dared not make random guesses. I looked at him, "Brother in law, then don't talk nonsense. The one you love is Lita Defiant. Never will you love me in your life. Yo

    Haick started the car as soon as I sat down but I didn't overthink it.I found we were on the highway in just a few turns.Looking ahead, I noticed the toll station. "Where are we going?" I was shocked."You have no place to spend the New Year, right? I'll take you to my hometown to have fun. There are many places around my hometown where we can enjoy ourselves." Haick said as he drove."Your hometown?" I was shocked. "No need. No need. I don't have anything with me."I even wondered whether Haick was going to introduce me to his parents. I didn't bring anything with me. Nor did I bring any clothes. How could I just go there like this?Haick saw through my mind as he said, "Don't worry. I won't let you live in my house. You can stay at a hotel."I wasn't at ease but no matter what I said, Haick had no intention to drive back.I felt as if I had been tricked but I couldn't go back by myself. I had to agree that I would spend a day and go back two days later.Haick's hometown wasn't fa

    Haick seemed to have said something to his parents so they didn't ask about my relationship with him.Sitting on the sofa with Haick's family, I watched the New Year Gala while enjoying fruits.After midnight, we went out and lit firecrackers together.This was the most amazing New Year's Eve I have ever had and it was all thanks to Haick that I had a chance to experience such a night.At around 2 o'clock in the morning, Haick sent me back to my hotel.After I returned to the hotel, I layed on the bed, feeling everything was unreal.Outside the hotel, the sound of firecrackers was still ongoing.The new year celebration was still on and I didn't feel lonely for the first time in a long time.I secretly thought that maybe I should simply say yes to Haick.I surely would have a happy life if I married him......................Early the next morning, Haick came to pick me up and took me out to have fun.There was an ancient town next to his hometown. Since it was the first day of the

    As the two of us were chatting, we heard a noise outside the office. It seemed the manager was in.Our colleagues were busy greeting her, wishing her Happy New Year.Originally, I didn't care about it at first but she suddenly stood at the door of my office and looked at Haick who was half squatting, "Stop hitting on her and come to the meeting room now."After that, she left in a hurry.I could tell from her voice something was seriously up.After Haick left, my colleagues came and gathered around to have a discussion.It seemed all the leaders above the middle level had been summoned to attend the meeting. Judging from the manager's expression, it seemed that something serious had happened.Everyone was discussing what the big deal was.Someone asked, "Is the company going bankrupt?"Another said mysteriously, "My uncle knows the shareholders of our company. During the New Year holidays, he said someone had bought the shares of another shareholder at a high price. I'm afraid we are

    Three days later, the company had a new boss and he would take office that day.I didn't see the mysterious boss that day but there were all sorts of rumors about him in the office.Some said he was an old man while others said he was a handsome young man.At noon, when I went to lunch, I saw some people from furniture home carrying new furniture inside. The furniture was very luxurious, including a leather sofa and a huge mahogany desk. Seeing these, I couldn't help but think of a person...But soon, I dismissed this idea.How could the new boss be Dave Mitaka? His company wasn't specialized in design at all, especially interior design. If he acquired so many companies without a valid reason, could it be he is so rich that he simply wanted to waste his money away?That day, the company had a meeting in the afternoon. It was clear that all leaders above the middle level were in the meeting but I was called over, which was a surprise to me.And after I went in, I found that Haick was

    Dave turned his head and staggered backwards a few steps.I looked up and saw the person standing in front of me at this point, "Haick."After calling out to him I felt tears well up in my eyes.He was my hero, he would always show up when I needed him the most.Glancing at me with distress, Haick took off his suit jacket and put it on me. He then turned to Dave, "Reed is my girlfriend. Stay away from her!"Dave wiped the corner of his mouth and snorted but didn't say anything.Haick picked me up in his arms and walked out of the door.Surprisingly, Dave didn't catch up with us.After I got into Haick's car, he tidied up the suit jacket on my body and checked if I was wrapped tightly then he said, "I'm sorry. I'm incompetent and I can't beat him now but are you willing to go abroad with me?""Yes."This time, I responded without hesitation.Hearing my answer, Haick spread his arms and held me in his arms, saying, "Great. You won't regret it."He was excited.I inexplicably felt a litt

    Standing at the door, Dave stared straight at the camera as if he was looking at me.He said, "Reed Defiant, I'm crazy.""What?"Hearing him say that all of a sudden, I got confused."I know I can't like you and I shouldn't but I don't know. You are always on my mind. I think I'm going crazy. I know I have done some unjustifiable things and I know acquiring your company and forcing you to be my assistant will surely make you hate me but I couldn't help it. As long as you are with me, even if you hate me to your bone, it doesn't matter..."Due to the high resolution of the video house call, I could clearly see Dave's eyes and his expression.His expression indicated regret. For a second, I placed my hand on the doorknob and felt an impulse to open the door to let him in.I didn't have to. Dave hurt me so badly. If I gave him a chance now, what was I going to say to Haick?I closed my eyes and said cruelly, "You don't love me. You just love the feeling of you not being able to have me."

    I suppressed the excitement in my heart, "What is it?"In fact, if only Matt told the story by himself, it would be not convincible as there was no evidence.Then it needed to be testified by someone else, or by some evidence which Matt had kept for himself.Matt was in a conflicting emotion which can be seen from his face. "In fact, I also recorded what happened at that time."Haha.Recording was really a good method.I was relieved hearing this. I put my hands on the table and seriously asked him, "Which do you think will be more disadvantageous to you? The exposure of having an affair with the director's wife or of doing something wrong for your child?"In fact, I felt that both of them were almost the same. However, the latter seemed to be slightly better than the former.Matt looked at me. Instead of answering, he asked reluctantly, "How many videos and recordings do you have? Where did these things come from?""I have four altogether." I thought for a moment and said, "I asked s

    Because it was at night without heavy traffic, Dave arrived soon.I followed Dave back to No.1, but I still didn't tell him about the videos after hesitating several times.However, I beat him around the bush and it turned out that Dave knew nothing about that.Then, who sent those files to me?Soon, I thought of another person, Oogway.I realized that meeting him this afternoon wasn't a coincidence.Since the previous incident, I realized that there were not so many coincidences in the world. All the coincidences might be set by others.I remembered what Oogway said before I got in the taxi?Was he really making up for his mistake?His deed has nothing to do with me, but I need these documents now.The next morning, Dave went to work.Before he went out, he told me that he needed to go abroad for a business trip, which would take about a week.Originally, I planned to go straight to meet Matt that day. However, after thinking for a while, I gave up.I took my laptop to Judith's house

    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?
