When I sent Jessica a message, I saw Daniell’s Avatar. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His avatar was his picture. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had never looked at it carefully before. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I enlarged the picture. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I found out that it was a picture of him in college. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was wearing a clean white T-shirt and jeans and standing at the school gate. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This dress and this photo were familiar to me when I looked at them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at it carefully and then remembered that it seemed that I had taken this picture for him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We didn’t know each other at that time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He stopped me at school and said, “June, take a picture for me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell was famous and popular in our department at that time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I recognized him at a glance and agreed without hesitation. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that day, we exchanged contact information. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw the voice messages he sent me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t have the courage to listen to them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was afraid to hear his voice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I seemed to be avoiding. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The first item I saw on his homepage was sent by his parents in place of him the other day. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The last one was four or five months ago. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the new year, he secretly took a picture of me from a corner. He wrote that he hoped to spend the new year with me every year. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As I watched it, my cell phone rang. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was Jessica. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I calmed down and answered the phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“June, what do you mean? You followed me! Why did you eavesdrop on my phone!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The moment I picked up the phone, I heard Jessica’s harsh voice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I kept the phone away from me and reached for my ears. I said plainly, “I just happened to hear it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s impossible!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Whatever.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sat on the sofa and laid my cell phone on my lap. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was not in a hurry anyway. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica didn’t speak for a long time on the phone. I could hear her breathing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I guessed that video really pissed her off. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
About 30 seconds later, she said, “what do you want?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I have no money.” She interrupted, “now you know about Carter Family. Our company owes money.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“So are you all looking forward to grandma’s death and her legacy?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said calmly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I seemed to know why they were looking forward to Sherry’s death. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No!” Jessica quickly explained, “she’s your grandmother and my mother. I don’t want her to die, but she’s brain dead! We can’t help it!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There seemed to be a little cry in her voice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t know if she was really crying. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Oh…” I said, “don’t worry. I don’t want money.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica took a deep breath. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said, “I’ll sell my house and pay for grandma’s treatment.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Really?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as I said it, Jessica’s voice was relaxed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She seemed relieved. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I paused and said, “yes, but I’m going to the final of a design competition the day after tomorrow. I’m going to go to other places. The time for me to come back is not fixed. Until then, grandma’s ventilator can’t be turned off. If it’s turned off, I’ll send this video to let them know you want grandma’s will.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“If your father wants to turn it off, I can’t stop him. The money is from both of us.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I don’t care. I will do what I say.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t care so much. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now I could only threaten Jessica to stop marlin. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica was silent for a while and then said, “OK! But I can only stop him for a month. If you don’t come back in a month, I quit!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A month was enough. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I contacted the real estate agent the next day to take some pictures of my house. I asked him to contact the buyer for me first. I would move when I got back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On the day I left, Lucius contacted me and said he would send me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t want him to know that I lived in York No.1, so I made an appointment with him to meet at the subway station. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He drove to pick me up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We got on the highway. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On the way, a big car suddenly changed direction, which made Lucius brake hard. After the big car left, Lucius scolded, “does that driver have no eyes?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was angry. I suddenly remembered the words of the traffic policeman. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I asked Lucius, “President Lucius, in a situation like that, would a driver not brake?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What?” Lucius glanced at me with a smile and said, “if you don’t press the brake pedal, you will die.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“So it’s impossible?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Of course, unless the driver is asleep.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lucius stunned me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was he asleep? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was morning, and Daniell had just got up. He should not be asleep. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What would that be? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lucius didn’t seem to notice my abnormality. He kindly said to me in the car, “your opponents are very strong in this final. You have good luck. Don’t be too stressed.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At about 10 a.m., we arrived at the airport. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw two familiar faces when we went in. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Selena and Fiona. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Selena?” I frowned and looked at Lucius. “She stole my work. Why is she here?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lucius laughed awkwardly. “She shouldn’t have come, but Fiona thinks Selena was abetted and did something wrong. She has the ability, so the managers of several other companies pleaded for her.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I frowned. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This situation couldn’t be more obvious. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Those managers should not like me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lucius and I walked over. Selena took a look at me when she saw me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Fiona came up and said softly, “June, I’m sorry. Selena was abetted. This time you can compete fairly.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Okay, President Davies.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I replied politely. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But it was impossible for me to forgive Selena. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After all, Daniell’s death had something to do with her! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I looked up at Selena, several people in front of me all looked behind me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Someone asked, “President Jessop, will you send us in person?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They all went to him. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
