Take My Breath Away

"She is my woman and will be my wife sooner or later. It's just a matter of time." Sheffield always got what he wanted. He wasn't one to give up so easily, even if that meant getting hurt in the process.

Joshua felt sorry for him. He realized that his friend had fallen deeply in love, and that he wouldn't be able to convince him to let go.

In fact, for a moment, he envied Sheffield. At least there was someone who could make him so engrossed and willing. But what about him? He couldn't find a woman that he could lose his heart to.

The two friends leaned against the race car and smoked, lost in their own thoughts.

In the Huo Residence

Only Evelyn and Terilynn were home in the evenings lately. But when Evelyn came home that day, her little sister wasn't back yet.

She turned to Tayson and said, "Go home and get some rest. I will not be heading to work tomorrow morning. We'll be going to the Chestnut Mountain Cemetery."

"Yes, Miss Huo."

After Tayson left, Evelyn went straight to her bedroom. She was exhausted.

Sitting on the chaise lounge, she stared out the window.

The weather forecast said that it would be rainy the next day; so it was every year, on the day she visited the cemetery.

At the Chestnut Mountain Cemetery

Evelyn arrived at the graveyard, wearing a black suit and a white shirt underneath it. There was a bunch of fresh purple rosemary on the gravestone.

The picture on the tombstone was that of a young woman with a sweet smile.

Evelyn looked at the rosemary in her hand and placed it right next to the bunch on top of the gravestone.

"You are here," a cold voice said from behind.

Evelyn didn't turn around. She looked at the picture and answered, "Yes."

"If she were still alive, a few days from today would have been her 30th birthday." The man's voice was now colder and hoarse. "You hurt her so much when she was alive. You have no right to be here!" he added.

Evelyn turned around and looked at the disheveled man sitting under the tree next to the gravestone, like a beggar. "You're breaking her heart by living such a pitiful lif

rstand? If you don't, you can come to me anytime. I'm a student at the Law School of Y City University. I'm very busy today. Otherwise, I would have definitely taken the time to teach you what intellectual property right is!"

As he passed by the angry woman, Joshua's interest was piqued and he stared at her with a raised eyebrow. It was the first time he had ever seen a person use a bar as a negotiation venue.

The place was noisy, but the woman's voice was loud enough for people to hear. The man she was yelling at felt embarrassed. He was angry and ashamed. "You are just a student who hasn't even graduated yet. Mind your own business!"

Terilynn wanted to punch him. "So what? I just won the first prize for the Talent Cup National Judgment Paperwork Competition. You think I can't tell an original from a plagiarized version? You have absolutely no respect for the author's hard work. What are you still arguing about? You have infringed on someone else's IPR! It's a crime. If you don't know what that means, you can google it!"

"What do you know about it? How dare you claim that I copied her work? All I did was put some screenshots of her book on my platform so that more people can see them. I was just doing some publicity for her. What crime did I commit? Didn't she write the book for everyone to read? If you ask me, you are the fake one here!" The man's words infuriated Terilynn.
