Chapter 1460


    Chapter 1460


    Gilbert was propped up in bed, stirring awake with a cigarette in hand. His profile was as cold and


    forbidding as an icy cliff, sending shivers down the spine of anyone who dared to look at him. Kisa tried


    to steady herself and shed him a smile. “What brings you to thend of the living?” she asked. Thank


    goodness she had stowed away the copies in the car, or else she would be in hot water.


    Gilbert shot her a quick nce and asked, “Why are you up at this hour?”


    “Nothing much, just parched. I had to quench my thirst with some water,” Kisa replied, but Gilbert


    remained expressionless. He blew smoke rings and focused his gaze on the fluttering curtains, lost in


    thought.

    Kisa marched up to him, snuffed out his smoke, and huffed, “You smoke like a chimney day and night.


    You’re killing your lungs.”


    Gilbert suddenly turned his intense gaze on her, his eyes piercing and icy. “Do you want GK?” he


    whispered, sounding almost tender.


    Kisa’s heart skipped a beat. She crawled under the covers and shook her head. “I don’t want it.”


    Gilbert quirked a smile. “If you want it, all you have to do is ask. I will give it to you, no questions


    asked,” he said.


    Kisa furrowed her brow, torn about what to do. ‘Why is he acting like this? Does he know about my


    scheme to bring Adrien down? Should Ie clean and risk ruining everything? But if I don’t tell him,


    will ite back to bite me?


    As Kisa deliberated, Gilbert suddenly flicked off the lights.


    “Time to hit the hay. No more talking.” he dered.


    Kisa opened her mouth to say something but ultimately let it go. She gazed at Gilbert’s shadowy


    outline, feeling lost in thought. ‘Screw it. It’s not like he will believe me if I spill the beans right now.


    What’s the point?”


    The next day, Kisa handed over the top-secret documents she stole to Mia when Adrien rang her up


    and asked her to swing by the club.


    The club was still bustling with business, but Peter and Jensen were nowhere to be seen, and the VIP


    area on the top floor was eerily quiet.


    Kisa went straight to the top floor where Adrien was lounging on a semi-circr sofa with Carolyn and


    Sharon. It had been days since she had seen them, but Sharon’s arrogant demeanor had not changed


    one bit. However, her face seemed to have undergone some unnatural alterations, making her


    appearance even more bizarre.


    “Ugh, Dad, why did you call this sit here? She is disgusting, Sharon twisted her waist and tossed the


    fruit she had just picked up into the trash can, her face full of disdain.


    “Sharon called him Dad awfully quickly,’ Kisa sneered in her mind.


    “Uncle Adrien invited me here, and if you find me disgusting, you can leave.” Kisa emphasized the


    word “invite’ hard and provocatively smiled at Sharon.


    Sharon’s face twisted with anger. Before she could say anything. Carolyn quickly grabbed her and


    apologized to Kisa. “Sharon doesn’t know any better. I’ll teach her a lesson. You and Adrien talk


    business.” She finished speaking and pulled Sharon out.


    Kisa sarcastically thought to herself, “Wow, they are so polite to me. Do they really think I will just hand


    over GK to them on a silver tter?


    As the mother and daughter walked out, Kisa smiled at them and said, “Christopher really misses you


    two. Don’t you want to go in and see him?”


    “Wow, you are such a devoted daughter, even though he wants to kill you. Tsk tsk… I know you crave


    fatherly love, so I’ll give him to you. Go see him yourself. Don’t call him my father again. My father is


    the famous Mr. Tanner,” Sharon taunted.
