"We are lovers."

I covered my guilt with a smile.

"Really?"

Daniell's eyes were clearly incredulous.

I hesitated for a moment and looked at him firmly and said, "yes. I didn't lie to you. He is very kind to me. I'm living a good life now."

Daniell frowned and looked at me with clear eyes.

He didn't speak but I was a little guilty. I added, "I really live a very good life now."

With that, I took my hand back and entered the subway station.

I knew the lie was like a piece of paper, which would be broken as soon as it was poked.

But I had no choice.

Because Daniell was so kind to me and I didn't deserve him.

After that day Daniell seemed to be back in his hometown. I never saw him.

Ten days later, the first trial opened.

Marlin was in the plaintiff's seat and I was in the defendant's seat.

I saw Dave who was arrested by the police before.

He insisted in court that I gave him money and let him cause an accident.

Fortunately, Arthur found Dave's previous accident. His testimony was invalid. We mentioned the family relationship and passed the first trial easily.

When Arthur and I just walked out, we met Molly who had been sitting in the auditorium.

She stood in front of me and looked at Arthur and sneered, "June, you can sleep with anyone to win the lawsuit."

"Are you satirizing me instead of finding your own reasons?"

I took a look at Molly.

To be honest, I used to think I was happy because there was a person who looked like me in the world.

But now I only felt disgusted when I saw her.

Molly stared at Arthur and immediately looked naive, "Arthur, you have to be careful of this person. She has a lot of bad ideas."

"Really?" I wanted to explain to Arthur.

He looked at Molly coldly and took a black pen out of his pocket. "I've recorded what you just said. If necessary, I will directly sue you for slandering Molly and damaging Molly's personal reputation."

"You..."

Molly didn't expect Arthur to do that.

Her face turned pale!

She didn't speak and left.

"Thank you." I looked at Arthur gratefully.

He waved the pen in his hand and smiled, "I lied to her. It's just an ordinary pen."

We walked out of the court. I watched Molly leave. It suddenly occurred to me that there was a time when my bag was not with me during Sherry's hospital stay.

That was when Molly wanted to jump.

I told Arthur about it. He recorded the time and left.

I went back to work. After work, I went home, changed my clothes and took a bath. Then I went to the hospital to see Sherry. I did design there at night.

An hour before the end of the preliminary contest, I handed in my final draft.

A week later, the results came out.

There was a special website for the design competition. When I searched, I found myself in 52nd place. But only the top 50 could pass the preliminary contest.

Although I was not very satisfied with my work and I knew that I may not pass the preliminary contest.

I was disappointed when I saw that I was only two places behind.

I was in the office.

I heard many colleagues congratulating Billie, and I found that Billie was 32nd.

When I saw Billie's ranking, she came up to me and looked at the webpage and smiled, "June, you work the hardest. A client wrote to the company that you are good at design. Why didn't you pass the preliminary contest?"

"I'm not good at it."

I just said that.

I didn't want to use my case and grandma's illness as an excuse.

"Ha ha, you really have self-knowledge." Billie laughed and went back to her place.

After a while I received a text message from Daniell, "I saw the result of the preliminary contest. I'm sorry. I didn't give you the right guidance and caused you to miss the semi-final."

Daniell always blamed himself even if I did it wrong.

Anyway, the design competition was over. I didn't have to stay up late anymore.

But three days later there was a new notice.

In the top 50 candidates, two people's designs were found to have many elements that copied the works of some famous designers.

They were disqualified from the competition.

I was now in 50th place.

One of the two disqualified people was Billie.

People who congratulated Billie in the office were discussing it again.

"I wondered why we didn't pass but she did. It turned out that she had plagiarized."

"Yes, she was complacent when we praised her."

"She won't be complacent in the future."

I listened to those people and smiled helplessly. I picked up the bag and was ready to go out.

I had an appointment with Arthur today.

I took the car to Arthur's law office. As soon as I got off, I saw a lot of people on the road.

I wanted to pass but I heard a familiar voice, "I didn't hit you!"

Then I heard an old lady crying, "you hit me. You drive too fast so I can't dodge!"

I stood there and took a look.

I was sure it was Jack so I wanted to leave.

After all, he had a lot of money. He was not afraid of being blackmailed.

As soon as I wanted to leave, I heard him call me, "June! Come here!"

"..."

Did he see me?

I turned around and saw that Jack wanted to come. The old lady held his leg and didn't let him go.

"June, help me. Hurry up! I picked you up at the police station that day!"

Jack didn't dare to kick the old lady. He just called me.

He did pick me up at the police station that day.

I could only walk to him. I asked him what happened.

He was waiting for the red light. The signal light was originally red. Jack started the car when it turned green. The old lady fell in front of his car.

She said he started the car too fast and knocked her down.

I said coldly, "call the police."

It was very simple.

I wanted to take out my phone.

"No!" Jack grabbed my cell phone. "Don't call the police!"

"Why?" I looked at him suspiciously. "Did you really hit her?"

Why was he afraid to call the police?

Jack gave me the phone back and whispered, "this car is Sean's. If he knew about it, he would not lend me his car in the future."
