Not even a photo or a handmade pendant was left behind.
It seems as if the several years from their acquaintance to entering into marriage, until their eventual breakup, were nothing but a dream like a mirage.
And now, the dream has ended.
At that time, Kathy pulled a switcheroo when the body was being taken to
the funeral home.
With a new identity, I boarded the plane to Los Angeles.
The research and development base of the new project was located in Los Angeles.
After the project was approved, bidding and tendering were immediately
launched.
It is said that the Mathews Group, the leader in Los Angeles, had the highest chance of winning the bid.
Its industries cover a wide range, involving more than a dozen different fields, almost encompassing most branches of people’s livelihoods and high technology.
The project, which was invested by the state as a bottom line, is also the hottest AI intelligence and biotechnology at present.
Almost all the companies that could scale up were eager to get a piece of
the action.

Kathy had just landed when she received a call from her teacher.
11
It was said that someone was sent to pick her up, and they had dinner together in the evening to welcome her and celebrate the new beginning.
She certainly dared not disobey the teacher’s words.
As soon as I walked out of the arrival gate, someone came up to greet me
and said hello.
“Ms. Sanders, long time no see.”
He was a tall and handsome young man.
Similar in age to Justin, he was even more handsome and refined in
appearance.
The high bridge of the nose was supported by a pair of frameless glasses, and the buttons of the shirt were fastened to the top.
His refined and ascetic temperament was fully displayed, making people unable to resist his charm with just one glance.
Kathy, however, couldn’t help but feel a little bit unable to laugh.
This man was Jovan Mathews, the son of the Mathews family in Los Angeles.
He was also a classmate of Justin’s when he was studying abroad, and they had a good relationship.
At Kathy’s wedding ceremony, he had been invited to attend.
Although she was forcing a smile on her face, Kathy was actually ranting furiously in her mind.
Do you have to be so stubborn?

She had only been feigning death for two days when she faced the danger of falling off the horse.
Although she knew that faking her death probably wouldn’t fool Justin for long, at least it would give her a few more days of peace and quiet.
Is this wish so difficult to achieve?
“Ms. Sanders had a wide range of expressions, did my simple greeting really trigger so much mental activity in you?”
Jovan smiled and spoke again.
“No, Mr. Mathews, long time no see.”
At this point, Kathy simply stopped thinking about it.
She had attached herself to someone with connections to the government, so even if Justin wanted to resort to means, he had to consider whether his arm was strong enough to twist the government’s thigh.
“Let’s go, I want to get you to the hotel before the evening rush hour starts.‘
Jovan took the luggage initiative and led Kathy towards the exit.
Although the two of them moved quickly and saved a lot of time, they still got stuck in the middle of the rush hour traffic.
The teacher called again, confirmed the location, and said reassuringly, “Kathy, your older brother is following you, so your teacher and I feel much more at ease. Take your time, don’t rush.”
Senior brother?
Kathy looked at the blank screen of her phone in confusion.

She hadn’t had time to ask clearly before the teacher hung up the phone.
Considering there were only her and Jovan in the car, does that senior brother refer to him?
Facing Kathy’s surprised gaze, Jovan chuckled and held out his hands in a gesture of surrender.
“I joined the junior class before you did and also studied under the same teacher. However, I focused on a slightly different direction than you, which may have caused you to not remember me.”
In this case, the two of them were still considered as fellow disciples, which seemed to be even closer than Justin’s relationship with his classmates.
Kathy really didn’t have much of an impression of Jovan.
She was in the youth class at that time, with all her heart set on making a name for herself.
Every day, besides eating and sleeping, all I did was study. I didn’t have any more energy to focus on anything else.
Although they were only strangers with little interaction, thanks to the same teacher, they had quite a few common topics to talk about.
We chatted on and off like this, and the frustration of being stuck in traffic seemed to have eased a lot.
At the moment when Kathy saw her teacher, countless memories flooded back to her.
Especially during those three days when she couldn’t get up, looking back from many years later today, her foolish and stubborn refusal to turn back really hurt the hearts of the teachers.

She couldn’t help it anymore, and once again knelt in front of the two elders, crying uncontrollably.
After calming down, Kathy remembered that Jovan was still sitting beside her.
Thinking that he was his fellow apprentice and also Justin’s classmate, he couldn’t help but sigh at the amazing fate.
The teacher did not ask too much at the dinner table, but he did share a lot of his insights on the upcoming project.
“The bidding for this project was most likely already decided in favor of the Mathews Group.”
The teacher openly discussed insider information in front of Jovan.
“No matter in terms of capability, investment strength, or business strength, the Mathews Group is in a league of its own. As long as the proposal does not have major flaws, securing this bid should not be a problem.”
The teacher’s wife picked up a shrimp and put it on Kathy’s plate.
“If that’s the case, then Kathy will have to work closely with Jovan in the future as the project manager. You siblings can take this opportunity to build a strong relationship.”
She added another sentence silently in her heart.
It might have worked.
Kathy’s new identity name is Myla Alvarado.
The last name followed Amira.
I was a researcher affiliated with a research company under the U.S.

Not only the change of name, but also all the experiences from childhood to adulthood are all there.
Kathy was very satisfied with this.
Sure enough, when the national level gets involved, you know whether there is any hope.
Considering that she will be based in Los Angeles in the future, Kathy prefers high–end residential communities with better privacy and security when choosing properties.
The standalone small villa was a good choice, but the price was also very
attractive.
“If you don’t mind, I actually have a vacant set that you can stay in for now. When the project starts, and profits are shared, your earnings will be enough for you to buy all the small units you like.”
Jovan’s suggestion was very thoughtful and timely.
The teacher’s wife immediately agreed and accepted this kind gesture for Kathy.
After having had enough to eat and drink, the driver drove the teacher
and his wife back home.
The task of taking care of Kathy fell on Jovan.
This was not the first time the two of them were alone together, but under the influence of night and alcohol, the relaxed atmosphere they had first encountered in the afternoon seemed to be undergoing subtle changes.
Kathy, as someone who had abandoned her past, left New York without even bringing replacement clothes, in addition to her identification

But when she arrived at the temporary accommodation “provided” by Jovan, she found that all kinds of daily necessities were readily available inside.
