All Chapters of The CEO's Switched Bride: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Thomas looked at Lita with impatience on his face, "If it were in the past, it would be fine. Now you should know more or less as to what's going on at home."Comfort mocked on the side, "That's right. How about you just let Dave pay for the expense? Anyway, such a little amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for him."At the mention of Dave, Lita looked embarrassed, "I... I'll tell him about it. But I don't think it's a good idea. After all, it's our family's business."Comfort responded, "That's right. Forget it. Let him invest the money in Defiant Group. Now Defiant Group is the place where the money is needed. We don't need to owe him a favor because of such a trivial matter."When I heard Comfort's words, I was burning with anger in my heart.Such a trivial matter?Judith's life seems to be a trivial matter to her..."I'll think of a way to get the money. I won't let you turn off Judith's support machine."All three of them looked at me with different expressions.Comfort i

I took my suitcase and went to get a boarding pass then I went though security check.After I got on the plane, I found out that the whole first class cabin was reserved by Dave.The bodyguards sat apart and Dave and the young man sat together.When I walked to the economy class, I heard people around talking about Dave's identity.It made sense, usually, he would take his private plane.Seven people, including me had gotten to the final and we were lined up in the same row.I sat by the window, sitting next to a woman who seemed to be much older than me.She was wearing a plain long dress with no makeup and her straight hair was tied up. She was reading a book related to internal designing.Out of politeness, I introduced myself, "Hello, my name is Reed Defiant.""Hello, Marie Drew."She greeted me during the interval of reading."Marie Drew? You are Marie."She was Marie Drew, the Marie Drew!I was surprised and delighted to see her as she was known in the designing field as a renow

As I layed on the bed, the scene where Dave stood in front of my door with an umbrella lingered on my mind.He was afraid I will be angry if Marie left. His anxious expression popped up in my mind constantly. It was as if he indeed cared about me.It was unknown how long I had been thinking about it when I fell asleep.When I woke up, I felt dizzy and a little hoarse in my throat. I was feeling uncomfortable.My first reaction was that I had fever. I wanted to drink some water but when I reached out for the cup by the bedside, I failed.Bang! The cup fell to the ground, startling me.I felt sore all over and everything seemed to have turned blank. It was impossible to get up. I struggled for a while and then gave in to the darkness.In a daze, I felt a piercing cold sensation on my forehead. I frowned. The next second, I felt a pair of warm lips sticking to my mouth. Then, warm water was poured into my mouth…"Ahem!""Ahem!""Ahem!""Ahem!"I coughed hard and slightly opened my heav

Marie stood at the door as I rushed into the room at lightning speed.I picked up my cell phone, glanced at Dave who was still sitting at the dining table with a pale look on his face, then ssaid, "Mr. Mitaka, Marie and I will go out first. Please help me close the door when you leave."After that, I pulled Marie away.After walking for a while, we sat down beside a small pavilion at the side.The pavilion was supported with a few pieces of wood and a white gauze curtain was hung around it. As we sat inside, the breeze blew gently, making the gauze curtain sway along with the wind.Marie asked, "Mr. Mitaka is so good to you. Why are you running from him?""I don't deserve it."I lowered my head."I think you don't know how to cherish the blessings endowed on you." Marie squinted at me with some envy in her eyes, "In the past, our colleagues often talked about how handsome Mr. Mitaka was, how rich he was, and how happy the woman marrying him would be. At that time, I didn't think that

Marie shook her head repeatedly after seeing my draft.She pointed out a lot of problems to me.Instead of beating around the bush, she was very straightforward.Listening to her, I hoped I could go back to college and restudy designs.After she finished her words, I said with a sad look on my face, "How about I give up the finals?"I didn't have any hopes of getting a good design.Marie raised her hands and touched my hair. She then said with a smile, "It's alright. I am here with you. There is nothing to be worried about.""You? I am not letting you do my design for me."Her words reminded me of Trish's words.Haick had enlightened me on my work for the preliminary contest and when it came to my work for the second round, it got dramatic. I have to rely on myself in the final round. It didn't matter to me even if I couldn't get any prize.Marie burst into laughter, "Who said I was going to do your design for you? I'm just saying you got me so there's nothing to be worried about."I
