    Chapter 1430 The Prelude to the Storm


    Sharon chimed in from the side.


    “It is not impossible. That woman always likes to unt herself.”


    Sheughed sarcastically and turned to Adrien. “Uncle Adrien, my mom divorced my dad solely for you


    this time, and we even offered our sincere gift of The Case Group’s shares as a dowry for You’d better


    give my mom a proper title soon.”


    Carolyn pouted and whined, “Yeah, if you don’t marry me soon, I will be aughingstock.”


    Adrien smiled, his lips curling up. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.” But his eyes had a hint of


    coldness. “After I take a trip to Oceanville, I will give you a wedding of the century.”


    His passionate promise was like poppy, causing countless women to be mesmerized and lost in a


    dreamy haze. Carolyn was immediately enchanted, her face full of sweetness, forgetting all about


    questioning Adrien about Kisa.


    Since returning to the Kooper residence, Kisa had been sleeping restlessly. Although nothing had


    happened, everything seemed too calm, and she had a feeling that something bad was going to


    happen. It was like the calm before a storm.


    These few days, she had been especially sleepy, waiting for the man to return to the room every night


    but always falling asleep before he arrived. When she woke up in the morning, the space beside her


    was empty, and she was not sure if he had returned.


    Another night, Kisa woke up from a nightmare. She instinctively reached for Gilbert, but the space


    beside her was empty. He had note back. A gust of cold wind blew in, and she shivered, unable to


    sleep.


    She turned on the bedsidemp and checked the time. It was already past midnight. The window was


    not closed tightly, and the cold wind kept rushing in. Kisa put on a thick robe and got up to close the


    window. When she looked outside, she realized it was already snowing. She hated rain, but for some


    reason she liked snow. She reached out to catch the snowkes, but they melted as soon as they


    landed on her palm.


    The snow hade early this year. The tiny snowkes danced in the night sky, creating an ethereal


    scene.


    As she lowered her gaze for a moment, she caught sight of two figures downstairs. Upon closer look,


    she realized it was none other than Gilbert and Christopher. Gilbert stood tall, cigarette in hand, smoke


    swirling around his wrist. Since he was facing away from her, she could not see his facial expressions


    clearly.


    Christopher had aged significantly since shest saw him before her departure to Athadale. Maybe it


    was the divorce from Carolyn that had taken its toll on him. Kisa had heard about Christopher’s divorce


    from Carolyn. Apparently, Carolyn had sent a woman to Christopher’s bed to catch him in the act and


    put on a show for the media to get a bigger share of his assets. Watching Christopher looking dejected


    and distressed below made Kisa feel a mix of emotions. Her sadness was only due to the irremovable


    blood rtionship she had with Christopher. It would be much better without that blood rtionship.


    “Mr. Kooper, please, for Kisa’s sake, can you help me get The Case Group back?”


    Most of The Case Group’s shares had ended up in Adrien’s hands, and he had quickly acquired the


    company. Christopher could not even put up a fight. Thepany’s name had even been changed


    under Adrien’s ownership. Although Adrien had allowed him to remain in thepany, he had no real


    power left. He felt regret and resentment and had even reached out to his daughter Sharon, but she


    had turned him away, calling him a weak and useless father.


    In the end, he could onlye to Kisa for help.

    Gilbert puffed smoke rings, his tone nonchnt, “Sorry, I can’t help you.”


    “How can you not help? You are so capable, you…” Christopher’s eyes suddenly fixated behind Gilbert.
