"Who is it? Who is that man?" I grabbed Amy's hand and shouted at her.
B*stard, how dare he rape me in the restaurant? I must give him a lesson!
"I... don't know." Amy was embarrassed. She said speechlessly, "You went to the bathroom for so long and didn't come back. I was worried about you, so I went out to look for you. But I didn't expect to see you..."
"See me what?" I looked at Amy in a daze.
At that time, I was weak and dizzy. I didn't know how I was like. My sexual desire was aroused and I could only let the man do what he wanted.
Was...was I raped?
F**k, I would never let this matter go like this!
I must catch that beast.
"You... didn't even have clothes on you. Your silk stockings were broken..."
"Okay, stop." Listening to Amy's ambiguous words, I covered my ears and felt so ashamed.
"Who dared rape you in the elevator? The security in the restaurant is so awful. Also, what's wrong with that elevator? Why did it stop?" In the face of Amy's constant questions, I said feebly, "I don't know, but I want to call the police."
I put on a cold face and said to Amy. I should have called the police for the first time. Because there was still the man's semen in my body at that time. I must find a man and teach him a lesson.
"Are you crazy? How can you... call the police?" After Amy heard my words, she shook her head at me with disapproval.
I knew what she was worried about. Because everyone would know that I was raped if I called the police. But I couldn't swallow insult and humiliation silently.
"Ashley, calm down. We have to find this man first." Amy held my hand and said to me.
I clenched my fists and pursed my lips, "I know. I must find that b*stard!"
I wanted him to be unable to have sex with a woman any more.
The doctor said that I needed to rest in the hospital for a week because of the soft tissue injury, and I had to agree.
I asked Amy to check the surveillance video, but the monitor on that floor was turned off on that day.
Did someone scheme it?
I felt strange and asked Amy to investigate the guests who came in and out of the restaurant that day.
The people who ate in that restaurant usually ordered a meal in advance, and there were also documents to prove that they had entered the restaurant.
In the end, we selected three men. Because they left at the time when I was raped.
Amy handed me the screenshots of the surveillance video. I saw a fat middle- aged man at first. Although I was drunk at that time, I remembered very clearly that the man was not fat.
The second one was an old man who should be 70 years old, he was very thin and looked kind. Of course, it couldn't be him.
I remember that man was absolutely not old.
As for the third man, there was only his side face in the picture. At that time, only his side face was shot by the monitor.
He was wearing an expensive suit and his side face was perfect, which made me so surprised.
"What's wrong? You also think that this man is handsome, don't you?" Seeing me like this, Amy thought that I was shocked because the man's side face in the photo was too perfect.
I raised my head in a daze, looked at Amy and said in a hoarse voice, "Amy... who is he?"
Was it Edward?
So, the person who raped me in the elevator was Edward?
"I don't know. I asked the manager of the restaurant and she said that she didn't know who he was, but it must be someone with high status. There were a lot of guests that day, so they didn't pay attention to him."
Amy explained to me. Holding the photo, I stared at the man in the photo and said to myself, "It's you, isn't it? You're still alive, why don't you show up? Why did you do this? Since you hate me, you should ask me face to face? Why?"
"Ashley, what's wrong with you?" Perhaps Amy was scared by my words, she looked at me with some concern and asked.
I came to sense and forced myself to calm down. I looked at Amy faintly and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. Amy, please help me investigate this man. I have to know who he is."
"You suspect that it was him who raped you." Amy looked at me suspiciously and asked.
"I'm not suspicious, I'm sure."
I put on a cold face and said.
It must be Edward.
I knew it. How could it be possible for Edward to die?
He couldn't be willing to die?
He hadn't asked me why I testified against him and he hadn't atoned for his sin. How could he die?
"Miluo is a legendary designer in the design world. His design has not been surpassed by anyone so far. Ashley, I think you can't win, so you'd better give up."
"No." I let go of my fist and looked at Sinwu with cold eyes.
"Why do you still want to try since you know that you will fail?" Sinwu couldn't help but ask as if he couldn't understand my stubbornness.
"You'll never know without a try. If you start by defining yourself as a failure, you can only fail."
"It seems that I have to learn from you." After I said that, Sinwu suddenly looked at me seriously. Just when I felt a little strange, Sinwu suddenly got up and sighed to me.
I looked at him in a daze and didn't know what to say. Sinwu got up and reached out his hand to me, "Ashley, I hope I can see your different designs in the competition. Come on! Just as you said, you'll never know without a try. I hope you can design a wonderful wedding dress."
"Thank you." With tears in my eyes, I shook hands with Sinwu.
After he left, I turned off the computer and looked at the sunshine out of the window. I cocked my head and thought for a long time before putting on my shoes and hobbling out of the ward. I still felt a dull pain in my legs when I walked because of the crude sex.
At the thought of what happened in the elevator that day, I was trembling.
I sat on the bench in the hospital garden, quietly closed my eyes, and enjoyed the sunshine.
I wanted to design a wedding dress that was better than my first wedding dress. Although William hired Miluo, I wouldn't be discouraged. Even if Miluo was a legendary designer, I must have a try.
The wedding dress and love that I wanted were not only sweet like honey but also dangerous like poison. It must be tenacious, indomitable and timeless.
This was my concept of wedding dress and love. When I opened my eyes, I saw the clouds in the sky.
All of a sudden, I got an inspiration. I knew what kind of wedding dress I was going to design.
No matter what, I needed to have a try. "Miss Mu."
"What's wrong?" Just as I was about to go back to the ward after basking in the sun, a nurse suddenly stopped me.
Looking at the nurse who was walking to me, I asked with some doubts.
"Do you know that gentleman just now?" The nurse looked at me with a shy face and asked.
"What gentleman?"
I looked at the shy nurse with confusion and asked.
"There was a gentleman who had been standing in the courtyard and watching you." The nurse pointed to the courtyard where there was no one at all.
