Chapter 31

When the manager heard that I was such a person, he immediately said, "Mr. Mitaka, I am contacting the staff of Haick Design now. We will call off the project partnership as soon as possible."Haick Design was Haick's company."No!" I stepped forward and stood in front of the manager.Although I hated it and I wasn't willing to, I still said, "I will resign! I will resign! Are you satisfied?"I knew what Dave wanted. Dave wants to see my life ruined with no way out. I couldn't let Haick be put in a difficult position because of me.Dave looked at her and didn't say anything.I stood there, made a call to Haick, and said helplessly, "Mr. Grimm, I resign." After that, I hung up the phone before Haick could ask me anything.I put my cell phone into my pocket and bowed to Dave, "Mr. Mitaka, I've already resigned from Haick Design. Now, I have nothing to do with this company as well as this project. There's no need to vent your hatred for me on others."After that, I turned back and left.

That night, Haick asked me to stay for another night.The next day, I was full of energy so I follwed Haick to the company.As soon as we got into the lobby, the receptionist ran over, "Mr. Grimm, Mr. Mitaka arrived early..."I turned my head and happened to see Dave in a dark suit through the glass wall of the reception room. He got up from the couch and walked straight towards us.When he saw me standing side by side with Haick, his black eyes were full of contempt. He slightly opened his thin lips and said, "Reed Defiant, although you have been re educated in prison for a year and half, you haven't got rid of your bad habit of being cheap for the sake of money."As soon as he finished his words, his statements made the colleagues around me lament instantly."Don't talk nonsense!" I panicked. Moreover, I didn't understand why a person like Dave Mitaka would condescend to come to a small company like ours.While I was at a loss, I felt my shoulders warm. Then, I heard Haick say, "I

Chapter 33

Along the way, I scolded Dave as viciously as I could but he seemed indifferent.When the car stopped again, Dave lowered the window and looked out of the window, saying"Look! Where are we?"I turned my head and looked out the window. It took me quite a while to realize where we were. In an instant, my face paled.It was unknown when the car had arrived at an orphanage. However, the orphanage was different from what I remembered. I use to spent most of my time here with the kids when I was in college.This was my bonding place. I knew what it felt like to be unwanted. My family treated me like trash so I usually came here to find peace and comfort.If it weren't for the sign written at the gate, I wouldn't have believed that the building in front of me was the orphanage where I had been visiting.At this time, Dave had already gotten out of the car and said to me, "Let's go in and have a look."When I followed him into the orphanage, the old dean had already come out to welcome him

Chapter 34

At dinner, Jamin urged us over and over again, saying we should bear him a fat grandson as soon as we could.I agreed with a faint smile but I knew it would never happen.After we came out of the Mitaka Family house, I was just about to get in the car when I noticed that the tassel of the small cloak was hooked onto the covered button of Dave's belt.I wore a low cut evening dress. I hadn't taken off the cloak over at dinner but, the tassel was hooked on Dave's belt. We sat in the car and I knew if I leaned over to untie it, I would have to make an ambiguous posture. Helplessly, I had no choice but to take off my cloak. After all, I couldn't ask Dave to take off his belt."Lemme take this off." I said as I tried to untie the tassel.Although I said so, it seemed that the more anxious I was, the tighter the tassel got entangled.The cloak was very expensive and I didn't dare to cut the tassel off. While I was sweating all over my head, I saw Dave press on the belt with his big palm.

Chapter 35

Outside the door, Lita was making a big scene but I could care less about her.By the time I checked my phone, there were already a few text messages from Haick.'Reed, where are you? I'm worried about you.''Did I give you too much pressure recently? Tell me. I will adjust myself.''Remember to call me back when you see my messages.'There were three texts in a row from him.I knew that Haick cared about me sincerely but now, I was afraid that I would get him in trouble.Dave was right. It would only take a few minutes for him to destroy Haick's company, which he had worked so hard to set up.That night, I didn't reply to Haick's message.The next day, I went to Haick's company. I entered Haick's office and told him directly, "I quit."Haick frowned and eyed the set of expensive clothes on my body. After a long time, he asked, "Did Dave force you to?""No." I sat on the sofa with my red lips curling up, "It's just that I've figured it out. Being Mrs. Mitaka is better off. Why do I h

Chapter 36

After about two months, we got another order for an independent clothing studio. The client was generous and none of us dared to neglect this order.The task was assigned to Blue who then asked me to be her assistant.I readily agreed.After we visited the studio for the first time, I instantly understood why the client was so generous.This studio was located in the central city where one inch of land equaled gold. If this place was furnished as a restaurant, a store, or even a cafe, the owner surely would make a lot of money. However, the client wanted to make it a clothing studio.Admittedly, the rich could do whatever they wanted.During the signing of the contract, it was a man named Evangel Nates, who made every inquiry requiring the design however, after we arrived at the studio, Evangel suddenly said he was helping his boss get this order done and his boss would tell us the specific plan and ideas later.After a while, a red Aston Martin car stopped at the entrance of the stud

Chapter 37

It was obvious that Lita didn't know this.The reason why I said so on purpose today was to provoke her into making a scene and exposing the fact that I went to jail.In this way, I could also get rid of this deformed marriage between Dave and I.That night after Lita left, I received a phone call from Dave."Why did you tell Lita what I had said to Grandpa?"As soon as I picked up the call, I heard Dave's angry roar.Now, his emotions couldn't affect me at all.I took the phone a little further as I said, "Mr. Mitaka, don't you think you're torturing yourself while torturing me?""You are thinking highly of yourself." Dave's disdainful sneer came over the phone.I went on to say, "Just because we are a legal couple, you treat me as something that belongs to you. You torture me as well as the ones around me with great effort. It's just because you can't accept the fact that your wife has been to prison. Please let me go and marry Lita Defiant. Mr. Mitaka, you and I are not in the same

Chapter 38

We had a meal in a seafood restaurant. Although I was despised by Blue and Lita and also disgusted by Dave, I stayed close to Dave all night as if I were declaring sovereignty.When the dinner was about to end, I left with the excuse of urging the waiter to send us water.As soon as I came out, Lita followed me out.Lita quickly caught up with me, grabbed my wrist, and said with a grim smile, "Reed Defiant, you assume that you can be Mrs. Mitaka with ease?"I turned to look at her, "Hmm?"I had seen all kinds of evil people in prison and I just found her ridiculous looking like this."Don't assume that Dave likes you and intends to be with you in the future since he respects you. Let me tell you, you should stop day dreaming about it!"Lita deliberately lowered her voice.I looked at her and blinked as I said, "Lita Defiant, I hope you can understand that it's not me who wants to be Mrs. Mitaka. It's Dave who insists that I should be his wife. If you can let him divorce me, I will be

Chapter 39

The police arrested the worker who had placed the high concentration into the building.I sat in the detention center and watched the worker pointing to me, saying it was I who had asked him to do this.He said with tears about how he came from the countryside and had three children, two of whom were twins freshly delivered by his wife. Besides, his wife got sick as soon as she gave birth to the babies and his parents were seriously ill. He had agreed to do it because he was possessed for a moment and needed the money.After hearing that, the policemen glanced at me.They looked at me as if they were looking at a heinous criminal.No. If I had done this, I would indeed be a heinous criminal.I saw the worker kneeling on the ground and begging the police to let him go, saying he was the breadwinner of his family. If he went to jail, his family would be doomed."I didn't!" Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore. I stood up and refuted,"I never asked you to do such a thing!"I didn't want t

Chapter 40

As I raised my head and saw that Dave and Lita were not far away from where I was, I suddenly ran up and rushed to Dave as if I had gone crazy!Plop! Kneeling in front of him, I grabbed his trousers and pleaded, "Mr. Mitaka, I didn't hurt her. I didn't do anything. I beg you. Believe me this once. As long as you withdraw your complaint, I promise I won't be back to this City for the rest of my life. I'll leave and never look back. I promise I won't show up in front of the both of you again for the rest of my life!"I was not supposed to be that cowardly however the horrible memory of my previous days in prison as well as the fear made me fail to control myself.At this moment, my cowardice overwhelmed me!The police quickly caught up with me and wanted to pull me away.I still held Dave's legs tightly and begged him, "Mr. Mitaka, I promise. Please withdraw your complaint. Please! I beg you. I have lost a child in prison. I don't want to go to prison again. I beg you!"When I said thi
