《Reborn Through Fire》 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1 Chapter 1 She is¡­ Dead? Kisa Becker was in the women¡¯s prison. She held her bulging belly and slowly crawled toward the door. She had been locked in for three days, and because of one man¡¯s order, she had eaten nothing until now. The floor near the doorway was strewn with breadcrumbs. Kisa stretched out her painful red hand. She picked up the dirty and cold hard breadcrumbs and put them into her mouth. Suddenly, the door opened. A voice said, ¡°You have a visitor.¡± Before Kisa could rejoice, she was roughly dragged out of the cell, cleaned up, and pushed into a visiting room. Through the bars, she finally saw the man she had loved for ten years. Kisa held back her tears. ¡°How is Grandma?¡± ¡°How could you still have the nerve to ask?¡± Gilbert Kooper grabbed her by the neck with a ruthless look on his face as if he was going to kill her. ¡°Thanks to you, Grandma will never wake up again. ¡°I can overlook the fact that you climbed into my bed on purpose and abducted Sara, but you shouldn¡¯t have harmed Grandma.¡± Kisa repeatedly shook her head. She had adored Gilbert since she was a child. But ever since she learned that the person he loved was Sara Mitchell, she carefully kept her feelings to herself. One day on her twentieth birthday, Kisa woke up naked and hungover in Gilbert¡¯s bed. A monthter, she was found to be pregnant. Gilbert¡¯s grandmother threatened to kill herself unless Gilbert married Kisa. After the marriage, he became so disgusted with her that he never came home for the night. At first, Kisa thought they could live in peace for the rest of their lives. But then Sara disappeared, followed by a phone call from Gilbert¡¯s grandmother telling Kisa she had something important to ask Kisa. But when she opened the door, the olddy was seen lying on the floor covered in blood. ¡°Gilbert, I didn¡¯t hurt your grandma. For the sake of the baby, please trust me for once.¡± Kisa pleaded with him. ¡°The baby?¡± Gilbert¡¯s icy gaze fell on her bulging belly. ¡°Get rid of it. Your child is too dirty!¡± The man¡¯s heartless words stabbed into her heart like a knife. ¡°Tell me where Sara is if you still have any conscience left.¡± Kisa was inplete despair. She shrilled, ¡°I didn¡¯t hurt your grandma. I didn¡¯t abduct Sara. Why don¡¯t you believe me? This is the Kooper family¡¯s child; why do you have to be so cruel? Why?¡± The man narrowed his eyes. ¡°You are really obstinate. Since this is the case, you may atone for your sins in prison.¡± Kisa broke down and pounded on the bars as the man departed without showing her mercy. ¡°Kisa.¡± Suddenly, a woman walked in with some cotton coats. That was her half-sister, Sharon Case. ¡°Kisa, I¡¯ve brought you these cotton coats without him knowing. Gilbert is too ruthless. He won¡¯t let me send you anything,¡± said Sharon, her eyes shing. ¡°Just tell him the whereabouts of that woman. He told me that if you insisted on not telling him the whereabouts of Sara, he¡¯d make your life miserable in this prison.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart ached so much that she almost suffocated. She clutched thepels of her abdomen forcefully. ¡°Sara¡¯s disappearance has nothing to do with me. If he wants my life, then take it,¡± she said in her hoarse voice with a hint of defiance. Kisa was eventually convicted. The day she was officially transferred to the women¡¯s prison was also New Year¡¯s Eve. Inside, she was beaten ck and blue by some inmates until she could not get up. In the evening, when everyone went to the New Year¡¯s Eve party held in prison, Kisay battered on the cold, hard bed, holding her stomach with her hands. She had almost died. Her tears kept falling down when she thought of how heartless Gilbert was. In her sorrow, a strong and choking smell of smoke suddenly came into the cell. Her heart sank. ¡®It¡¯s a fire.¡¯ Billowing smoke and me started to leak in through the window. Kisa gritted her teeth. She got out of bed and dragged her battered body with difficulty toward the door. It was painful to move, but she, atst, made it to the door. However, when she pushed the door, it would not budge. ¡®How can this be?¡¯ Kisa¡¯s face instantly went pale. She rapped desperately on the door panel. ¡°Help! Help! Help me!¡± At that moment, she heard murmurs outside the door. ¡°Just mind your own business. Mr. Kooper has made it clear that this woman is to be left to rot and perish.¡± ¡°Huh? You mean, this fire¡ª¡± ¡°Shh, just you know, I know.¡± As the discussion faded away to the sound of footsteps, Kisa slumped against the door in pain, her heart throbbing and her body shaking. Apparently, Gilbert was going to let her die in this cell. ¡®The baby is innocent. Did he really loathe me to the point where he could even kill our child?¡¯ The smoke was getting so thick that she could not open her eyes. But thinking of the baby in her womb, she continued to rap the door with all her strength and shouted until her voice turned hoarse, but still no one came to her rescue. She gripped the floor in pain, mentally reciting Gilbert¡¯s name over and over again. ¡®You once saved my life, and now I give it back to you. After this, I will owe you nothing. If there is an afterlife, I wish we never cross paths again.¡¯ It was another heavy snowfall. Gilbert tucked his grandmother in and got up to draw the curtains. Just as he walked to the floor-to- ceiling window, his phone rang. He picked up to answer, but in the next second, he froze. ¡°She is¡­ dead?¡± On New Year¡¯s Eve of 2015, a fire at Calthon¡¯s West Suburban Women¡¯s Prison killed an inmate code- named 0037. On the same day, Gilbert Kooper, the CEO of GK Pictures, was blessed with a pair of children, and rumors about the children¡¯s mother were all over the ce. ¡­ ¡°Aaaaah!¡± Kisa woke up again from her nightmare. She hurriedly reached for her belly, the tness of which caused her heart to sink. ¡®There is no more. My child was lost in that fire.¡¯ Five years had passed, and that same nightmare haunted her every night. In the dream, a group of people surrounded her, punching and kicking her, and mes engulfed her. There was also the baby, whose skin had turned purple when it stopped breathing, and Gilbert¡¯s cold, murderous eyes. Scenes of that dream lingered in Kisa¡¯s mind all the time. Even after five years, it still hurt like hell when she thought about it again. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Arie Kelley calling. ¡°You cker, the opening ceremony is about to start. Why haven¡¯t youe over yet?¡± Kisa was working as Arie¡¯s assistant and body double. Today, Arie had to attend the opening event of a drama, and she must get to the hotel before the time she said she would. The bus stopped just at the stop, and Kisa got up while apologizing on the phone. Just then, a scream came violently from her side. ¡°Aah, a monster! She is so ugly.¡± This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Kisa, startled, hurriedly covered the burn scars on her face and got off the bus. Standing in front of a street sign, she looked bitterly at the reflection of her skeletal, ugly body and the hideous burn scar on her forehead. Kisa looked really scary in this way, but she could not help it. She knew it was already a miracle that she survived. Arriving at the hotel, Kisa was surprised when she saw the setup in the hotel. Her heart sank when she realized it was the costume drama the Goddess of My Adoration produced by GK Pictures. ¡®Is Arie acting in a GK drama this time? GK. Gilbert Kooper?¡¯ The thought of that man sent chills up her spine. ¡®No, he won¡¯t. A busy man like him won¡¯t usually attend such an opening ceremony. But he may not recognize me since my appearance has be like this.¡¯ With such a fluke in mind, Kisa walked toward the hall¡¯s entrance. But some security guards stopped her just as she reached there. One security guard could not hide the disgust in his eyes. ¡°You ugly thing, where did youe from? Get out of here. Don¡¯t frighten the guests.¡± ¡°Hi, I¡¯m Arie¡¯s assistant. I¡ª¡± The security guard frowned at the coarse, unpleasant voice. ¡°What Arie? I have never heard of it. Get lost.¡± At this point, Arie called again, and Kisa became anxious. Just then, a woman with exquisite makeup and a mboyant dress, surrounded by a group of people, came over. Kisa shuddered at seeing the woman. She hurriedly lowered her head and moved to a quiet corner. ¡°Pleasee in, Ms. Case.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡± Sharon asked with a smile as she nced toward the wizened and unsightly figure not far away. ¡°Oh, that is just an ugly woman. Good thing is she has gone. Otherwise, she would¡¯ve scared you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say that. Everyone is equal. Don¡¯t judge people by their looks. Do you understand?¡± ¡°You are so kind.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes welled up. It was her sister, Sharon, who had be a glitzy movie star. Kisa was happy for her. Arie called again. Although Kisa told Arie that the security had stopped her, Arie told her to figure out what to do on her own. Kisa was thinking about how to enter the event hall when amotion happened at the hotel¡¯s entrance. A tall, distinguished-looking man walked in slowly. The handsome man had deep-set eyes and a stern look with an intimidating aura. ¡®Gilbert?¡¯ Seeing the man, Kisa tensed up, a chill traveling up her spine. Those unbearable memories of the past came back like a tidal wave. She stood still and trembled in fear, telling herself she must not let Gilbert see her; otherwise, he would send her to prison again to atone for that supposed sin. She knew how ruthless Gilbert was. Just as Kisa was about to flee, she bumped into Arie, who raised her hand and pped her without warning. ¡°You good-for-nothing!! I told you toe to me. What are you doing hanging around here?¡± After hitting Kisa, Arie felt something was not right in the atmosphere. She looked up cautiously only to see Gilbert, who had a forbidding look on his face. Arie was so frightened that she almost went weak at the knees. She craned her neck. ¡°M-Mr. Kooper?¡± Gilbert did not look at Arie but at the cricket-like, bony figure. ¡°Look up,¡± he said in amanding voice. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 2 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Running Away It was still the same cold, unforgiving voice that Kisa would remember to the day she died. She trembled, filled with grief and fear, telling herself she must not let him recognize her. Shey on the floor and swept her eyes around. Her gaze finally fixated on the hotel¡¯s back exit. A secondter, she sprang to her feet and ran as fast as she could for the exit. ¡°Get her!¡± a stern voice shouted. Kisa¡¯s knees went weak as she was scared. She hurriedly overturned the signages and banners to slow down the security guysing after her. Running out the back exit, Kisa still did not dare let up but ran toward the side aisle. The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind her, but she did not dare look back. She just ran for her life as if a terrifying demon was chasing her. Gilbert went out of the hotel and searched around in a panic but never saw Kisa. Meanwhile, Sharon and Davian Park, Gilbert¡¯s assistant, also rushed out after Kisa. Sharon asked Gilbert anxiously, ¡°Gilbert, what¡¯s wrong? I have heard you¡¯re chasing a woman.¡± Gilbert ignored her. The anxious look in his eyes told her he was looking for someone. At that moment, a fleeting awful premonition hit Sharon, and she looked at Gilbert cautiously, ¡°You think that woman is¡ª¡± ¡°It must be her. Her sins have not been atoned for, and she will never get away with it in this life,¡± Gilbert growled grimly. ¡°Davian. Send someone to find the woman who has just fled. Make sure you find her.¡± Gilbert looked anxious, his face grim. Davian wasted no time in dispatching men to blockade the hotel. But even then, Gilbert was still not assured. He searched around the hotel for a long time. Sharon looked jealous when she saw Gilbert¡¯s anxious look, which appeared as if he was possessed. ¡®It¡¯s been five years since Kisa¡¯s death. What makes her stir the heart of this man? I wish he has mistaken someone for her. Kisa is dead, and her body has turned into ashes. It¡¯s impossible for her to come back to life.¡¯ In a small, humid basement¨C Kisa curled herself into a ball, shivering in the corner. ¡®I really wish I could kill you.¡¯ ¡®You better die in there.¡¯ ¡®You know better than anyone else how the childes about, don¡¯t you? The child shouldn¡¯te to this world.¡¯ All that filled her ears were the cold, heartless words that Gilbert uttered to her. She buried her face in her knees and cried out in grief. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Since Kisa was a child, she had been trying to please Gilbert. Her mother had told Kisa to do so before she died. But all she got in return was his disgust. After Gilbert risked his life to save her, she completely lost herself in him. But he had nothing but disgust and indifference for her. Even after their marriage, although Sara had been the one who repeatedly set her up and provoked her, Gilbert was always on Sara¡¯s side. He never trusted her. Never. In the dark basement, only the light of her cell phone screen kept flickering. This was the eleventh call Arie had made to her since she had escaped from the hotel. Arie had always had a bad temper. Kisa crawled over and answered the phone cautiously, but no one answered on the other end of the line. Arie had not been doing well, with minimal exposure for the past few years. So Kisa thought she could work for Arie and would not bump into Gilbert. Never had she expected Arie would secure a role in the drama produced by GK, with Sharon in the lead role. In that case, she knew she could no longer work in this job. Still, no one spoke on the other end of the phone. Kisa was anxious and decided to quit her job. ¡°Arie, I know I have always been clumsy and have done nothing right. So, I-I would like to quit,¡± said Kisa cautiously. She then hastily added, ¡°You don¡¯t have to pay me for this month¡¯s work. It is my problem.¡± But there was still no reply on the other end of the phone, only a faint sound of slow breathing, which felt depressing but also vaguely familiar. Just then, Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she cautiously called out, ¡°Arie?¡± ¡°KISA BECKER!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 3 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 3 Chapter 3 She Can Never Run Away From Me ¡°Aaaaah!¡± Startled, Kisa tossed her phone and shivered in the corner. Her eyes stared in horror at the phone on the floor as if a monster was inside. ¡®It¡¯s Gilbert¡¯s voice. How could this be? Howe Gilbert called me on Arie¡¯s cell phone? Has he found out so quickly that I¡¯m working for Arie? If this is the case, he will soon find this ce and send me to prison again. I don¡¯t want to go back to that goddamn ce where I can¡¯t see the light of day. I don¡¯t want to suffer those inhuman tortures again.¡¯ Kisa shuddered in fear at the thought of the inhumane torture in prison and that tragic fire. She told herself she must escape, not be caught by Gilbert. She scrambled to get up, haphazardly packed some clothes, and hurried out the door. Inside the hotel lounge¨C Because of Gilbert¡¯s appearance, the atmosphere in the lounge became strange and somewhat depressing. However, it was also a little exciting to those little-known supporting actors and actresses eager to ingratiate themselves with Mr. Kooper of GK Pictures. But after seeing his gloomy face, they were all unnerved, not even daring to take a breath. Arie cautiously said to Gilbert, ¡°My assistant is clumsy. I apologize if she has offended you.¡± She did not want to ruin her career because of that ugly woman. She was pissed because she thought the ugly woman had offended Gilbert. As Gilbert¡¯s face became even graver, Arie panicked. ¡°Th-That ugly woman is my assistant, but she isn¡¯t rted to me. Someone else asked me to take her in. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have let such a dumb, ugly woman be my assistant.¡± ¡°Ugly woman?¡± Gilbert looked at her sullenly, his grim look frightening her. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Arie said again cautiously, ¡°Y-Yes, she is ugly, skinny like a skeleton. The scar on her forehead is especially scary. Ask others if you don¡¯t believe me.¡± While speaking, she nudged Alena Barret beside her with her arm. Alena nodded vigorously. ¡°Sh-She is indeed ugly.¡± Gilbert frowned. Sharon nced at him. ¡°Maybe you have mistaken someone for my sister. She wasn¡¯t stunningly beautiful when she was alive, but she was definitely not ugly. The person they describe is not my sister.¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, we got her background.¡± At this moment, Davian brought over a piece of information. Gilbert took it and saw a picture. The person in the picture was skinny, so much so that both cheeks were sunken, and the sparse bangs did not manage to hide the scars. The person in the photo had dull eyes, not half as bright as they once were. ¡®Raine Watson?¡¯ Raine Watson was Kisa¡¯s current name. After all, she used to be the wife of Gilbert, the CEO of GK Pictures. The name Kisa could cause a stir if she continued to use it. So Kisa changed her name. ¡°Raine Watson?¡± said Sharon, staring at the photo. ¡°It seems you really are mistaken. How can my sister¡¯s name be Raine Watson when she has hated rain since she was a child? Besides, the person in this picture is far from my sister.¡± ¡®Am I mistaken? The photo really doesn¡¯t show Kisa. The voice on the phone just now was hoarse and unpleasant, far from the clear voice she once had. Besides, her low voice is something Kisa has never had before. But if she is not Kisa, why did she run when she saw me? And where did that sense of familiaritye from?¡¯ Gilbert would not take that at face value. ¡°Davian.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Kooper.¡± ¡°Find her immediately. Now.¡± Sharon was not feeling great when she saw Gilbert. He looked as if he had lost his soul. ¡°Why are you doing this, Gilbert? Kisa is dead¡ª¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Gilbert interrupted her coldly. ¡°I never believed that pile of ashes could be her.¡± Sharon took two unsteady steps back. It might seem like the person Gilbert loathed most was Kisa, but Sharon knew Kisa was the most special to him. He had always been cold to everyone but Kisa, whom he always spoke ill of. Because of this, Sharon would rather have that dislike than the indifference he had been giving her. After Gilbert left, the lounge was buzzing with activity again. Someone tapped Arie on the shoulder. ¡°Hey, you¡¯re famous this time. That assistant of yours has turned out to be Kisa Becker.¡± ¡°Who? Kisa Becker? Who is Kisa Becker?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even know who Kisa Becker is? She is Mr. Kooper¡¯s ex-wife. But it is said that this ex-wife of his died five years ago. I don¡¯t know if they are mistaken; they think your assistant is Kisa Becker.¡± Arie had a leathery smile on her face. ¡°They must have been mistaken. If that ugly thing was Mr. Kooper¡¯s ex-wife, I would already be Mr. Kooper¡¯s wife.¡± When Gilbert and Davian found the basement, there was no one there. Even though the sun was shining brightly outside, the less-than-200-square-feet basement was still dark, and one must light a lamp to see inside. The house was shanty, only with a bed and a table, and the floor was wet and slippery. Gilbert stood before a painting and stared at it, a poorly drawn picture of a sunset over the sea. ¡®After many years, she still likes the sunset dusk.¡¯ At this moment, he was almost certain that the person was Kisa. He figured that if she was not Kisa, she would not have run away from him in such a hurry. ¡°Mr. Kooper, it looks like we¡¯re still one step behind.¡± ¡°Keep looking. As long as she is still alive, she can never run away from me.¡± Davian stared at the bizarre curve of Gilbert¡¯s lips, confused by his feelings for Kisa. ¡®If Mr. Kooper had no feelings for Kisa, he would not have guarded Kisa Becker¡¯s grave for three days and nights without eating or drinking after her death. But if he had feelings for her, he would not have shown hatred in his eyes whenever her name was mentioned. The rtionship between a man and woman sure is complicated to understand.¡¯ Kisa had few belongings, one bag enough to fit everything she had. But that bag did not suit her skinny body. It looked like it could snap her backbone. She came to a small bus station where she could take a coach to other cities without needing to show her ID card. The thing was, it was not too safe here. Kisa clutched her bag tightly to her body and cowered as she walked toward the ticket window. Just as she reached the window, someone stopped her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 4 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 4 Chapter 4 I Don¡¯t Want to See Him. ¡°Ms. Watson, Mr. Kooper would like to see you. Pleasee with me.¡± It was Davian. Kisa spun around and tried to run, but several men in suits surrounded her. These men¡¯s actions rmed the people in the surroundings, and they all stepped back in fright. Kisa¡¯s pale face and bony body made her look as if she would copse at any moment. ¡°Wh-What are you all going to do?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper wants to see you, Ms. Watson. Don¡¯t be so rmed.¡± ¡°Who is Mr. Kooper? I don¡¯t know him.¡± Kisa¡¯s body shook. ¡°Get out of my way. I don¡¯t know Mr. Kooper. He probably has the wrong person.¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper has mistaken no one. Come with us, and you will find out, Ms. Watson,¡± Davian said, then signaled the bodyguards to apprehend her. Kisa¡¯s emotions red up. ¡°Let go of me. What are you doing? I don¡¯t want to see him. I don¡¯t want to see him. Please let me go. I don¡¯t want to see him. Help! Help!¡± She told herself she must not meet Gilbert, who hated her so much for abducting his first love and hurting his grandmother. She feared that Gilbert would kill her again if he found out she was still alive. The Kooper¡¯s Mansion¨C The family butler walked the two kids slowly into the study room. They were the same age and looked simr. The older brother had short hair trimmed to ear length, fair skin, and a delicate, shapely face. He might be only five years old, but his brows were always furrowed. That cool temperament of his was really carried over from Gilbert. The younger sister had her hair tied into a pair of pigtails, and a cute, round face. Right now, she was pouting with an upset face. Gilbert put down the book in his hand and looked at his two kids, his stony expression softening up. ¡°The kindergarten principal just called and said you guys were fighting at school again.¡± ¡°Humph!¡± Ada Kooper, the younger sister, grunted in exasperation and stepped aside with her arms folded in front of her chest, her milquetoast yet fierce look adorable. Andrew Kooper, the older brother, walked over and patted her on the head to reassure her. ¡°Don¡¯t be upset; I have beaten them up.¡± Gilbert smiled and leaned back in his chair. ¡°I¡¯m sure you two wouldn¡¯t simply get into a fight with someone. Tell me what was going on.¡± ¡°They say I don¡¯t have a mommy.¡± Ada burst into tears, feeling aggrieved. ¡°Howe I don¡¯t have a mommy? It¡¯s not like I popped out of a rock. They even said my daddy doesn¡¯t like me because he neveres to pick me up from school.¡± Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Gilbert pursed his lips and said nothing as if he was lost in thought. Seeing this, the family butler quicklyforted the two kids. ¡°Who says you don¡¯t have a mommy? Your mommy is just far away and can¡¯te back to see you.¡± ¡°Far away? Where is it?¡± Ada looked at the family butler with big, clear eyes. ¡°Is there a ce so far away that Daddy can¡¯t go?¡± Andrew asked. The family butler could not find a word to respond, realizing that he should not have lied to the kids, as they were too curious, and it was hard to tell a perfect lie. Just then, Davian rushed in. ¡°Mr. Kooper, we have brought her back downstairs.¡± Gilbert¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He looked at the family butler. ¡°George, take the two children to their rooms.¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± As the family butler brought the children and walked toward the door, Ada looked back at Gilbert. ¡°Daddy, where is Mommy, really?¡± Gilbert was silent for a long while before he said, ¡°I will tell youter. Telling you now would put her in danger.¡± Ada lowered her eyes in frustration because she always got the same answer. She then followed the family butler out. ¡°Let go of me. I don¡¯t want to see him. I don¡¯t want to see him. Let go of me. Let go of me.¡± The family butler had just walked down the corridor with the two kids when bodyguards carried a seemingly crazy woman over. Andrew stared curiously at the emotional Kisa. ¡°George, who is she?¡± George took a casual look and said, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s a crazy person who has offended your daddy. Let¡¯s get back to your room before she breaks free and hurts you two.¡± Andrew frowned as he watched Kisa being hauled into the study room. He could not help but wonder; He could tell that she was not an ordinary lunatic. After all, he knew his father had let no women into the house except for Sharon. So he was curious who Kisa was, that she had to be carried straight into his father¡¯s study room. ¡°I don¡¯t want to see him. I don¡¯t know him. Let me go. Let me go.¡± Kisa hardly dared to look back at the man sitting in the chair, just desperately rapping on the closed door with a fearful face, as if there were a man-eating monster in this room. Gilbert quietly stared at her panicked reaction, secretly clenching his hands on the desk. ¡®She is still alive. I can¡¯t believe that she fooled everyone five years ago. Heck! She hid in the corner and lived freely for the past five years, while I lived miserably. Grandma still hasn¡¯t woken up, and Sara hasn¡¯t been found. Did she think she could get away with all the guilt just because she was hiding? What a joke! As long as she lives, I will make her pay for what she has done.¡¯ He got up and smiled at her from behind. ¡°Are you that afraid of me now?¡± Kisa¡¯s hands rapping the door paused. She was not sure if it was fear or grief, her battered body shaking again. ¡°Y-You have the wrong person. I-I never knew you.¡± She spoke with a clear tone of fear and grief. Gilbert smiled, wondering when Kisa had ever been so afraid of him; she used to be so daring that she even set him up and forced him to marry her. Seeing the woman refuse to turn around, Gilbert reached out to grab her shoulder. Just then, she suddenly squatted down and screamed with her head in her hands. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 5 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Kill Me If You Dare ¡°Don¡¯t hit me. Don¡¯t hit me.¡± She shivered involuntarily as the horrible experience of being beaten up in prison kepting back to her. Gilbert frowned. He grabbed her by the cor and lifted her. ¡°Why are you still pretending? You think that will make me not punish you for what you have done?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not Kisa. You¡¯ve got the wrong person. My name is Raine. I¡¯m not Kisa. I¡¯m not.¡± Kisa shook her head in panic. Her bony face looked extra pale from fear, the scar on her forehead even more appalling. Gilbert stared sullenly at her, gritting his teeth with hatred. ¡°You think I won¡¯t recognize you after you change your name, your voice, and even your appearance? Heck! Let me tell you; even if you turn into ashes, I can still find you.¡± His eyes were filled with hatred, just as they were five years ago. The ruthlessness in his voice was such that he could not wait to cut her into pieces. ¡®Is he really that disgusted with me, so much so that he won¡¯t allow me to live in this world for a second? What exactly have I done wrong? I have absolutely done nothing wrong. ¡®The only wrong that I did was to have loved him. Now I no longer love him. I just want to live my life. Why does this man still refuse to leave me alone?¡¯ Kisa suddenly did not want to deny it anymore, all her emotions of grief and anger exploding at once. She boldly met his cold, hateful eyes and sneered. ¡°Are you disappointed that I¡¯m still alive?¡± Gilbert was startled for a moment, and then he roared at her. ¡°Of course I am. Everyone thought you were dead, and I even, even¡­ You have lived these five years better than anyone else has.¡± Kisa felt his words were ridiculous. Her body was in terrible shape, and she might die anytime. So she wondered why he thought she had been living a good life. ¡®It is apparent that he is blind, even after five years.¡¯ ¡°Kisa Becker!¡± the man suddenly shouted, anger and hatred rising to the surface as if he was going to blow up at the thought of her still being alive. ¡®Indeed, she lives to infuriate me.¡¯ ¡°You better tell me honestly what happened in that fire five years ago. And where exactly did you hide Sara?¡± ¡®Heck! Thatst sentence is his real purpose, apparently. What he cares about is always Sara.¡¯ She looked at him with a defiant look in her eyes. ¡°Her disappearance has nothing to do with me.¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. ¡°No way.¡± ¡®See, he doesn¡¯t believe it. He didn¡¯t believe it five years ago; and he still doesn¡¯t believe it now. In that case, there is nothing left for me to exin. I just want to live my life, regardless of how he sees me.¡¯ She stared at him and suddenly smiled. ¡°You¡¯re eager to find Sara, aren¡¯t you? If you want her to return to you unharmed, let me go.¡± ¡°Are you threatening me?¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth with a murderous look in his eyes. ¡°Five years ago, you abducted Sara and severely injured my grandma. Who do you want to harm again if I don¡¯t give in this time?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t hurt Grandma.¡± She thought, ¡®nder me all you will, but I won¡¯t take the me for what happened to Grandma.¡¯ Kisa respected Gilbert¡¯s grandmother so much and had always treated her as her own grandmother. She was upset that he med her for what had happened to his grandmother. Gilbert gritted his teeth and snarled. ¡°What else can¡¯t someone like you do?¡± ¡®Someone like me? Heck! He has always thought of me as vicious. It has not changed even after five years.¡¯ She took a deep breath and said indifferently, ¡°I will clear my name off your grandmother¡¯s case later. As for Sara, if you want her to return safely, let me go.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you dare touch her!¡± ¡°So what if I do? Kill me if you dare.¡± ¡°You think I wouldn¡¯t dare?¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth, so furious that he had lost his mind. He grabbed her by the cor and pushed her against the wall. The force was so strong that her back hit the wall. She felt like her body was falling apart. His muscr arm pressed against her throat, and the slightest pressure would suffocate her. The feeling of being choked by the smoke of the fire came back to haunt her, and a sense of despair and grief spread through her. Kisa looked at the murderous man and said in a frosty and deste voice, ¡°Kill me¡­ and Sara will not live.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 6 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 6 Chapter 6 You¡¯re Looking For Trouble Gilbert looked at her reddened face. He suddenly came to his senses and let go of her. Kisa coughed violently and slumped down the wall as a sudden burst of fresh air rushed into her lungs. She was trembling terribly because of the cough. Under Gilbert¡¯s condescending gaze, she looked like a gnat struggling to stay alive. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t kill you. But I will make your life worse than death.¡± Kisa ended up being locked up in the garret by Gilbert. She desperately kicked and punched the door, which was locked, and hissed in a frenzy. ¡°Let me out. Who are you to lock me up? I gave my life back to you five years ago; why are you locking me up now? Let me out. Let me out.¡± ¡°You had iting to you five years ago.¡± Gilbert¡¯s bitter words came through the door. ¡°Grandma hasn¡¯t woken up yet, and Sara hasn¡¯t been found. As long as you live, you are to pay for what you have done.¡± He forced thest sentence through his teeth, carrying a full load of hatred and disgust. Kisay helplessly on the floor, a familiar pain hitting her in the heart. She did not understand how a man could be so heartless. ¡®Does he really want me to die before letting me go?¡¯ But Kisa would not resign to fate. She died once to pay him back for saving her life five years ago. Now, she owed him nothing, and he had no right to take her life. This life of hers was now her own, and no one may take it away. She fought back the grief and anger, got to her feet, and looked around, telling herself she had to find a way out of here. Otherwise, the ruthless Gilbert would torture her to death. After looking around the garret once, her eyesnded on a wooden shanty window. It got dark quickly on winter days. When it waspletely dark outside, Kisa went to the window and pulled the rotten wooden window open with all her strength. As the wooden window opened, an icy wind blew in, causing her to cough violently. The cough almost made her battered body fall apart. She waited a while for the cough to subside and then looked out the window. It crept her out because her location was at least 30 feet above the ground. But when Gilbert¡¯s ruthlessness came to mind, she shut her eyes and jumped out of the window with no hesitation. The height of the fall was nothingpared to the horror of being captured by Gilbert. Even if she was unlucky and jumped to her death, it was better than being tortured to death by that man. The chilly wind whistled past Kisa¡¯s ears. When she hit the ground, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. It was so painful that she could not stand up for a while. But she could not afford to waste time. While it was now dark and no one was looking, she had to hurry to get out of here. Kisa gritted her teeth and forced herself to get up. Bracing the pain, she limped forward. Just as she reached the gate, someone shouted from behind. ¡°That woman has escaped. Go get her!¡± Kisa shuddered and immediately ran outside without hesitation, never mind the injury on her ankle. She told herself that she must get away from that man, no matter what. As hurried footsteps approached, she was sweating anxiously. But she gritted her teeth and pressed on. A dazzling pair of headlights swept in her direction, and then she heard the screeching sound of tires. Kisa fell to the ground in a heap. Her knees were just an inch away from the front of the car. Her heart was beating wildly, her body trembling uncontrobly at the sight of the man stepping out of the car. Gilbert grabbed her by the cor and lifted her up, his face grim and terrifying. ¡°Kisa, you really want to die, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Let go of me, Gilbert. Let go of me.¡± She struggled desperately, kicking him with her feet. But the man seemed to feel nothing. He carried her in stride back toward the mansion. Thrown into the garret again, Kisa almost broke down mentally. She got up, limped toward Gilbert, and hissed. ¡°What do you want? If you really hate me so much, then kill me, kill me.¡± His icy eyes lingered on her red, swollen ankle for a few seconds. He then nced toward the open window before he walked out with an expressionless face. The door mmed shut. Kisa broke down and shouted, but there was no response, just as she had in prison. That despair and fear came back up. She slumped helplessly to the floor, her initial grief and anger slowly turning into a helpless plea. ¡°Gilbert, please let me go. It was my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have loved you. Please let me go. I swear I will never love you and appear in front of you again. I beg you to let me go, please.¡± On the stairs, Gilbert¡¯s hand holding a tray tightened, his obscure face revealing nothing of his emotions. Andrew cautiously ran up and asked, ¡°Daddy, who is that woman? Why did you lock her up?¡± ¡°Go back down. Don¡¯te up here.¡± Gilbert said with a serious voice and then walked up the stairs with the tray in his hand. Andrew pouted, knowing there must be something wrong. As the door to the garret opened, Kisa scrambled over on her hands and knees. ¡°Gilbert, will you leave me alone? I will clear my name about your grandma and help you find Sara. I know you have always hated me, and even my feelings for you make you sick. But don¡¯t worry, I will stay far away from you from now on. I stopped loving you a long time ago. Trust me, really.¡± ¡°Take your meal,¡± Gilbert said in a deep voice, as if he was holding back his emotion. Kisa shook her head. ¡°Please let me go.¡± Gilbert took a deep breath, finally exploding in anger. ¡°Let you go? Over my dead body.¡± Now Kisa waspletely driven mad. She kicked over the food on the tray and yelled at Gilbert, ¡°What the hell do you want?¡± Gilbert¡¯s face turned grave, and he pressed her to the ground. ¡°Don¡¯t force my hand.¡±N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 7 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Stop Shedding Crocodile Tears ¡°Kill me if you dare.¡± She deeply hated being shut in, as in prison, which only made her feel suffocated and despaired. Gilbert gave her an icy look. He suddenly got up, lifted her injured ankle, and immediately took a medication bottle out of his pocket. Realizing what he was about to do, Kisa jerked her foot back as hard as she could and sneered. ¡°Stop shedding crocodile tears here.¡± ¡°Kisa Berker!¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth and spelled out her name, so furious that veins popped up on his forehead. Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Kisa stared at him with a mocking face. ¡°Aren¡¯t you just afraid that I will die of pain and you won¡¯t have the chance to torture me anymore? I¡¯m not going to give you the chance.¡± ¡°Well. Very well.¡± Gilbert nodded with a sneer. He threw the medicine bottle at her. ¡°You want to die, right? Then you can go to hell.¡± The door was mmed shut once again. Kisa looked at the mess on the floor with irony and sadness inside her. ¡®Since he hates me so much, he should have just let me perish on my own. His hypocrisy is really ridiculous.¡¯ At night, Kisa kicked the door as hard as she could and kept shouting with the idea that it would make Gilbert lose his sleep. She believed she would annoy him so much that he would finally let her go. With this thought in mind, she kicked even harder and shouted even louder. Meanwhile, Andrew pondered with a frown in the children¡¯s room. ¡°Daddy seems to treat that woman differently. Maybe she has something to do with Mommy. I¡¯m going to ask her tomorrow.¡± Hearing the ghost-like cry, Ada hugged her brother¡¯s arm in fear. ¡°But they say that woman is crazy. Could she really be rted to Mommy?¡± ¡°We will find out tomorrow,¡± Andrew said. The next day¨C ¡°Sir, they both refuse to go to kindergarten.¡± Early in the morning, the family butler held the two kids¡¯ hands and talked to Gilbert cautiously. Gilbert kneaded his forehead; he had a sleepless night because that crazy woman had screamed almost all night. He looked patiently at his two kids. ¡°Why?¡± Ada poked her little fingers and said in a kiddish voice, ¡°Kindergarten makes the same game every day. It¡¯s not fun at all. I¡¯m not going.¡± As Gilbert looked at Andrew, Andrew looked up and said coolly, ¡°I can do all those assignments in kindergarten before the teacher even talks about them. Why do I need to go to kindergarten? It¡¯s childish.¡± Gilbert put his hand to his forehead, having a headache. He could have everything going his way but could do nothing about his two kids. He fought back the irritation and said nicely, ¡°No matter how easy the kindergarten homework or how boring the games are, you two are only five years old. So you have to attend kindergarten.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Ada frowned. The stubborn look on her face resembled that of that woman. The thought of that woman¡¯s stubbornnessst night made Gilbert¡¯s face turn gloomy. That was when a maid came over with breakfast, and the family butler hurriedly said, ¡°Sir, it is better not to be angry with them. Breakfast is ready. Don¡¯t you have to rush to the officeter? Don¡¯t let this trivial thing affect your work.¡± Gilbert took a deep breath, seemingly fighting back his anger. He then picked two sandwiches and a ss of milk and instructed the maid to send them to the garret. Andrew¡¯s eyes darted around, and then he hurried up to Gilbert. ¡°Daddy, Ada is still upset about being bullied yesterday. Please allow us to stay home today.¡± When Gilbert heard this, he subconsciously looked at Ada and saw her pouted mouth and reddened eyes. ¡°They always say I don¡¯t have a mommy. I¡¯m not going to kindergarten,¡± Ada said. Gilbert was angry at first, but when he saw Ada¡¯s aggrieved look, he felt sorry for her. Letting out a resigned sigh, he said, ¡°Okay. Stay at home and don¡¯t go anywhere else. I will be back early today.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°Thank you, Daddy. Daddy is the best.¡± Ada broke into a smile while Andrew¡¯s eyes darted around. The little boy thought of something. Once Gilbert was out the door, Andrew excused the family butler and took Ada to the garret. Ada was full of curiosity. ¡°Andrew, why did Daddy keep thatdy in the garret?¡± Andrew shook his head, but he felt Kisa must have some unusual rtionship with his father. He began to suspect that she might be rted to their mother. Andrew got excited at the thought of this. The garret was seldom used. Ada twisted the doorknob, but it would not turn. ¡°Andrew, the door is locked. We can¡¯t get in.¡± ¡°No worries. I have got a way in,¡± Andrew said. He slid open a cover above the lock hole, and a combination lock came into view. Ada was surprised. ¡°How do you know this door has abination lock?¡± But then, she was disappointed again. ¡°But we don¡¯t know thebination.¡± Andrew cocked his head and thought for a while. ¡°I will try. If not, ask George.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think George would know either.¡± Ada had just finished speaking when she heard a click; thebination lock had been opened. She looked at Andrew with a surprised and adoring face. ¡°How did you know the password? Impressive.¡± ¡°I just made a guess.¡± Andrew had used the code 940207. At first, he did not know that this was the code for the door, only that he had seen this string of numbers in his father¡¯s notebook. He thought this string of numbers should be very special, so he just tried it, not expecting that it could open the door. The garret was dark, and the window had been boarded up by Gilbertst night. Ada was scared and clung to Andrew¡¯s arm. ¡°What should we do if that crazydy hits us?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I will protect you.¡± ¡°Who is it?¡± Just then, a low trembling bellow scared the two kids. Andrew brazened it out and fumbled in the dark for the light switch on the wall. He reached for the switch, turned it on, and the garret was instantly lit up like daylight. Kisa subconsciously covered her eyes with a hand, waiting for her eyes to adapt before slowly moving it away. She then saw two kids standing not far away. A look of pleasant surprise shed in Andrew¡¯s eyes when he saw what Kisa looked like. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 8 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Do You Know Who My Mommy Is? ¡®This woman is a bit like the one in the photo in Daddy¡¯s wallet. Could she be Mommy?¡¯ The boy was so excited with the thought in his mind that he ran up to Kisa. Kisa stared at them in astonishment. ¡°Who are you? Why are you here?¡± She did not recall there were children in the Kooper residence. ¡°Ma¡¯am, do you know who my mommy is? Where is she?¡± The questions startled and puzzled Kisa. ¡°I don¡¯t know who your mother is, and I don¡¯t know who your father is. But how did you guys get here, and who brought you here?¡± Andrew had a disappointed look in his eyes. ¡°This is our home. Ma¡¯am, why did Daddy lock you up?¡± Ada asked. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡®Daddy? Their father is Gilbert? Gilbert has children? There are two of them, and they are already this old?!¡¯ She tried hard to fight back the shock. To be sure, she asked in a trembling voice, ¡°Is Gilbert your father?¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Ada nodded. Kisa took two unsteady steps back instantly. ¡®It turns out that he already has children. But why should her child die and his children with another woman live so well?¡¯ When she thought of the child that had died tragically in her womb five years ago, hatred and resentment filled her. ¡®Why do they think their children are precious while mine is not? Why should my child be the one dead? Why?¡¯ Seeing that the woman¡¯s eyes were red, Andrew cautiously asked, ¡°Ma¡¯am, are you alright?¡± ¡°Get out!¡± Kisa scowled. As adorable as the two children were, she could not like them when she thought of Gilbert¡¯s ruthlessness and the tragic death of her child. Ada hid behind Andrew in fear. ¡°Ma¡¯am, we just want to ask you if you know where our mommy is. Daddy has never told us. He said that if he did, Mommy would be in danger.¡± ¡®Heck! Look how well Gilbert has protected that woman. But who could that woman be? Judging from the age of these two children, Gilbert should have had children with the woman five years ago. ¡®Hell! No wonder he could care nothing about the child in my womb and even be heartless enough to kill my child. It turns out that he already has other children. The difference is just between like and dislike. But that doesn¡¯t matter anymore. The most important thing now is how to escape. That man¡¯s private life no longer has anything to do with me.¡¯ She looked out the door and wondered if any bodyguards were guarding the outside. Andrew saw right through her and asked, ¡°Ma¡¯am, are you thinking of escaping?¡± Kisa ignored him. ¡°Ma¡¯am, I can help you if you want to escape,¡± Andrew said. ¡°Help me?¡± Kisa smirked. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid your father will punish you?¡± ¡°He won¡¯t. Daddy loves us and has never punished us.¡± Kisa had a lump in her throat upon hearing Ada¡¯s innocent words. ¡®If my child were still alive, he would have been about this old and would speak to me in this voice of innocence. It is just that my child wasn¡¯t that lucky and never had a chance to take a good look at this world.¡¯ Her heart bled whenever she thought of the fire back then. ¡®Gilbert is really heartless. How could he kill his own child?¡¯ Her eyes welled up at the thought of this. Seeing the woman suddenly cry, Andrew panicked. ¡°Ma¡¯am, don¡¯t cry. I can really help you escape.¡± With that, he came up to Kisa and whispered in her ear. Kisa¡¯s eyes widened instantly when she heard what he said. A few momentster, Andrew and Ada strutted downstairs, with Kisa in tow. The family butler¡¯s face changed when he saw this. ¡°Andrew, Ada, why did you guys let her out? Your father will get mad when he finds outter.¡± He hurriedly asked the bodyguards to take Kisa back again. Upon seeing the bodyguarding, Ada hurriedly gave Kisa a wink. Andrew also whispered a reminder. Kisa panicked but still nimbly took out a knife and put it in front of Andrew¡¯s throat. The family butler was shocked at the sight of this. ¡°Oh my God, how dare you hold Mr. Kooper¡¯s child hostage?¡± ¡°Back off, all of you, or I will hurt him and see how you are going to exin to Gilbert.¡± Ada hurriedly grabbed the family butler¡¯s arm and cried. ¡°Help Andrew, George. Save him.¡± The family butler was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and hurriedly shouted at the bodyguards, ¡°Back off! Back off! The child is important to Mr. Kooper. He must not be hurt.¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. The several bodyguards all backed away and made way for Kisa. Kisa secretly rejoiced. She hurried to hold Andrew limping outside. Just as she stepped out of the mansion¡¯s front door, a pair of fierce scarlet eyes greeted her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 9 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Do You Know Who You¡¯re Holding Hostage? ¡°Kisa Becker!¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth and growled her name. He wished he could strangle this heartless woman who was holding his son hostage in order to escape. He clenched his fists with blue veins popping up on the back of his hands, his face ashen. Kisa looked at his grim, murderous face and smiled bleakly. ¡®He must hate me even more. But it doesn¡¯t matter anymore.¡¯ She gripped the knife tightly, looked into Gilbert¡¯s icy eyes, and said in a deep voice, ¡°Let me go.¡± Coming back with him was Sharon. After five years, Sharon had be even more beautiful, dressed up fashionably and with ssy makeup, looking like a movie star. When Sharon saw her, she obviously froze for a moment, followed by a touch of surprise and delight surfacing on her face. ¡°Kisa, you¡¯re really alive.¡± Kisa ignored her. She just kept a close eye on Gilbert. She told herself she had to get out of here today, as she knew that someone as astute as Gilbert would have quickly seen that Andrew was deliberately helping her escape. If you could not escape this time, Gilbert would prevent his two children froming near her again, and then she would lose any chance of escaping. Gilbert approached with a murderous look on his face. ¡°Do you know who you are holding hostage?¡± ¡°It is your son.¡± ¡°She is threatening you with your child.¡± Gilbert stared dead at Kisa. As he recalled what Sharon had said to him outside the prison five years ago, the murderous look on his face and his cold persona grew even stronger. He knew he must not have any illusions about this woman, not even a little. In his eyes, she was vicious with a heart like that of a scorpion and would never change for the better. He took a deep breath, stared at the woman he hated so much, and spelled out his words. ¡°If you dare to hurt him one bit, I will crush you into pieces.¡± His tone of voice was frosty and vicious to the extreme, with no affection. Kisa¡¯s heart sank. ¡®He really loves that woman so much that these children mean so much to him. But my child with him is no better than trash in his eyes.¡¯ She desperately fought back the sadness inside her and said in an icy voice, ¡°If you don¡¯t want your son to get hurt, then let me go.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face was grim to the extreme, his hostile eyes staring at her viciously, and he did not intend to let her go. Kisa saw this and got anxious. She certainly would not really hurt the child, even if this child was his with another woman. It was just that she could not escape if he did not give in to her threat. But she must leave today, no matter what. Compared to Kisa¡¯s anxiety, Andrew was cool, calm, and collected, even feeling a little excited. ¡®This woman is really not that simple; Daddy sees me being held hostage yet refuses to let her go. This proves that this woman is very important to Daddy. Maybe she is Mommy.¡¯ ¡°Gilbert, are you going to let me go or not? If you don¡¯t let me go, I will hurt your son.¡± After a long standoff, Kisa was getting impatient and pretended like she would hurt Andrew. Sharon saw this and scrambled to discourage her. ¡°Please, don¡¯t, Kisa. He is just a kid. You shouldn¡¯t have held a kid hostage. Let us talk things over.¡± Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Kisa, you are indeed the most vicious woman I have ever met.¡± Gilbert looked frostily at her. But Kisa just burst into a sarcastic and self-deprecatingugh. She knew that was what he had always said about her, so it was nothing unusual. ¡°If you know I¡¯m vicious, let me go, or I might really do something you regret.¡± ¡°I dare you!¡± ¡°I have died once; there is nothing I don¡¯t dare to do anymore. Try me.¡± ¡°Kisa Becker!¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth in a fury. Ada saw the situation, dashed up to Gilbert, and hugged his legs, crying. ¡°Daddy, just let her go. I don¡¯t want Andrew to get hurt. Daddy, Daddy.¡± Gilbert did not respond but still red at Kisa. If stares could kill, Kisa would have died a hundred times. His stare made Kisa panic. ¡°If you don¡¯t let me go, I will¡ª¡± ¡°Okay, I will let you go.¡± Before Kisa could finish her sentence, Gilbert suddenly spoke. ¡°But the next time you fall into my hands, you will wish you could be dead rather than alive,¡± said Gilbert ruthlessly. His words sent Kisa shivers up her spine. She knew he always meant what he said. When he had said he wanted her to die in prison, she ended up in prison and nearly died there. She was incredibly lucky to be still alive. Still holding Andrew hostage, Kisa got into a car parked up in the courtyard. She nced at Gilbert once before starting the car into motion. Gilbert stared at the car, disappearing into the distance with hatred and hostility in his eyes. He looked so frightening that the surrounding bodyguards did not dare to take a breath. It was the family butler who was bold enough. ¡°Sir, d-do you want me to send a vehicle to go after them?¡± Gilbert did not respond, that silent look of his intimidating. Just then, Sharon suddenly said, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, Gilbert. Kisa can¡¯t escape.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 10 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 10 Chapter 10 A Special Contract Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert looked at her with a frown. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°I heard Arie say that she still has a special contract with Kisa in ce.¡± ¡°A special contract?¡± ¡°Yeah. Wasn¡¯t she Arie¡¯s assistant before?¡± Gilbert looked at her and waited for her to continue. ¡°If Arie is the one who dismisses Kisa, then Arie is to pay her a sky-high amount ofpensation. Of course, if it is Kisa who resigns, Kisa is to pay Arie a considerable amount of money. With that contract in ce, Kisa has to return to Arie as an assistant, and you can find Kisa easily then.¡± ¡°Who drew up the contract?¡± No one in their right mind would sign such an unreasonable contract. It was akin to binding the two together. Yet Arie and Kisa had signed it. As a female artiste, Arie would not ask herwyer to draw up such a contract. Kisa was not capable of drawing up such a contract either. So Gilbert wondered from where such a contract hade. Sharon shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know who drew it up. I asked Arie, and she divulged little, just saying that her boss made her sign it.¡± ¡°Her boss?¡± Gilbert narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of checking this person out. Sharon thought for a moment and said, ¡°Don¡¯t get too upset. Kisa has threatened you with your child in words before. But this time, her holding Andrew hostage must be ast resort. After all, she must have gone through a lot to end up like this; survival must be hard. I hope you won¡¯t pursue those things she did before, but just treat her as a stranger, will you?¡± ¡°Do you think that¡¯s possible?¡± Gilbert sneered, ¡°The evil things she did can never be forgotten. She deserves all the punishmentsing her way.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be like this. Now that Kisa has miraculously survived, I believe your grandma will eventually come out of hera. You should start letting go of your hatred for Kisa.¡± Speaking of his grandmother, the hatred inside Gilbert grew even stronger. ¡°No way I¡¯m going to forgive her unless I die.¡± Sharon looked at his eyes, filled with hatred, and felt nothing but jealousy. She could not ept that even though he only had hatred for Kisa, his heart and mind were ultimately upied by Kisa. ¡­ Kisa endured the pain in her ankle and drove the car to a police station. ¡°Get out of the car,¡± she said to Andrew indifferently. ¡°I will inform your father. He wille to pick you up.¡± Andrew did not respond. Instead, he lowered his head in thought for a long time before looking up at her. ¡°Ma¡¯am, I want to follow you.¡± Kisa frowned. ¡°Follow me?¡± Andrew hurriedly nodded his head. ¡°No. You will just be a liability following me, and there is no reason for me to take you with me.¡± Kisa balked. The child might have helped her escape, but he was Gilbert and another woman¡¯s son. The sight of him only reminded her of her poor child. Andrew pouted his mouth, seemingly aggrieved. ¡°I won¡¯t be a burden to you. On the contrary, Daddy won¡¯t dare to do anything to you as long as I follow you. You can always keep me as a hostage.¡± There was some truth in the boy¡¯s words, but Kisa really did not want to take him with her. Seeing her reluctance, Andrew felt even more aggrieved, and his eyes reddened. ¡°I just want to follow you to find my mommy. I really want to find my mommy. I have never seen my mommy. I want to see Mommy. I want Mommy.¡± Kisa could not make herself like the child, but she still pitied him at seeing his aggrieved look. Andrew was still crying, and Kisa finally became annoyed. ¡°All right, just follow me.¡± Andrew burst into a smile. ¡°Really? You¡¯re so nice, ma¡¯am.¡± Kisa looked away awkwardly. ¡°If you dare to give me trouble, I will kick you away.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, ma¡¯am. I won¡¯t give you any trouble.¡± Atst, Kisa drove the car to the tiny bus station, where she did not need any papers to get on a bus. Right after she parked the car, her cell phone rang. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 11 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 11 Chapter 11 One Foot in the Grave It was Arie calling. She lived in an upscale bachelor pad. When Kisa rushed over, Arie was triumphantly fiddling with the contract agreement on her desk. Kisa was depressed at seeing the contract she had signed five years ago. She had survived the fire five years ago, but she contracted some nasty disease and suffered severe burns on the body, her appearance horrible. She had to take expensive medication every day to prolong her life. But because of her frightening appearance and failing health, she simply could not find a job and did not even have the money to survive. The mystery person who saved herter introduced her to be Arie¡¯s assistant on the condition that she would sign a contract. She signed the contract without giving it a second thought because all she was concerned about at the time was survival. But now, thinking back, she felt something strange with the contract, and she did not know why the mystery person wanted her to sign a contract like that. It was a pity she did not know who the mystery person was and had never met the person. Otherwise, she could have asked face to face. Arie looked at her with a smile on her face. ¡°I heard you¡¯re quitting. Here, take a look at the figure on this, and then prepare to pay me a lump sum.¡± Kisa did not respond. Arie spread the page about thepensation use in front of her. ¡°One hundred million dors. Pay up now so that I can find a smarter assistant.¡± She had wanted to rece Kisa, who she deemed dumb and ugly, since long ago. If not for this contract, she would not have put up with Kisa until now. N?velDrama.Org content rights. Kisa¡¯s expression stiffened, and she went weak at the knees. ¡®One hundred million dors! No way I can afford such an astronomical amount. I cannot escape with this agreement in ce.¡¯ She suddenly resigned herself to her fate and forced a smile. ¡°Arie, the shooting of the Goddess of My Adoration is going to start tomorrow, right? You have a good rest. I wille back tomorrow.¡± Arie¡¯s smile faded. ¡°What do you mean? You¡¯re not quitting?¡± Kisa quickly shook her head. ¡°What would I quit when you treat me so nice? Unless you can¡¯t put up with me and want to fire me.¡± Arie rolled her eyes; she was better than that. She would have to pay her $200 million if she fired Kisa. ¡®What a shitty contract. If not for the boss¡¯s request, I¡¯d have signed it.¡¯ ¡°So Arie, that¡¯s it for now. I have a kid to take care of, so I will go first,¡± Kisa said and led Andrew outside. Arie snorted. ¡°You have one foot in the grave and yet still want to take care of a child, as if you did not have enough trouble.¡± Andrew looked at Kisa¡¯s scrawny figure, with a touch of worry and sorriness on his good-looking face. He secretly made up his mind that he would take care of Kisa during this time and that he would not be a burden to her. Kisa was back in that damp, dark basement again. A chilly wind hit her as soon as she opened the door. Andrew could not help but sneeze. She nced at him. ¡°You¡¯d better go home. It is a mess here, and if you get sick, your father will me me again.¡± ¡°No, I won¡¯t get sick,¡± Andrew said, carrying the groceries Kisa had just bought and walking inside with gusto. Kisa nced at him with a precarious look in the eyes and followed him in with the toiletries and clothes she bought for him. In winter, it was freezing in the basement. Kisa asked Andrew to put on an extrayer of clothes before making dinner. As Andrew wandered around the basement, his eyesnded on the sunset over the sea picture, and he got a little emotional. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 12 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 12 Chapter 12 It¡¯s Not Like I Will Eat Him ¡°Ma¡¯am, there¡¯s a painting like this in my daddy¡¯s room.¡± Kisa was washing the vegetables, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard what Andrew said. She had given that painting to Gilbert when she was thirteen. Kisa never thought he would still keep it. She thought he probably wanted to use that painting as a constant reminder of his hatred for her. Otherwise, there was no other reasonable exnation. ¡°Wow, ma¡¯am, your cooking smells so good.¡± Andrew burst out in admiration when she brought the cooked dishes over. Kisa, on the other hand, did not respond to him, as the boy¡¯s deliberate ingratiation made her a little ufortable. ¡°Ma¡¯am, this is the best meal I have ever had.¡± Andrew ate with gusto, his little face full of satisfaction. Kisa stared at him in a predicament and felt sad. ¡®If my child were still alive, would he also enjoy eating my cooking?¡¯ It got dark quickly in winter. Maybe Andrew was tired; he went to bed after dinner. When Kisa tucked him in, she noticed something jiggling under his pillow. She pulled it out and saw that it was a cell phone, and Ada had sent him messages. [Are you with thatdy now?] [Have you asked her if she knows where Mommy is?] [How are you doing? Is thatdy treating you well?] [Andrew?] [Andrew?] ¡­ Ada asked several questions in a row, and Kisa could imagine Ada¡¯s anxious look, judging by thest few sentences. Kisa turned off the phone, intending to ignore it, but when she thought of Ada¡¯s anxious appearance, she could not help but reply. [Your brother is asleep.] Then she took a picture of Andrew and sent it to Ada, in case she did not believe her. [You are Madam?] Ada replied quickly. [Yes. Don¡¯t worry about your brother; it¡¯s not like I will eat him.] Over here, Ada saw Kisa¡¯s reply and felt much at ease. Just when she was about to send another message to chat with Kisa, Gilbert suddenly came in. Ada hurriedly hid the phone behind her. ¡°What are you hiding? What is that you¡¯re so afraid of being seen by me?¡± As Gilbert spoke, he walked over. Ada shook her head. ¡°Nothing, Daddy. I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± Gilbert cocked an eyebrow and snatched the phone from behind her with one long arm. ¡°Daddy!¡± Gilbert ignored her and looked at the chat log on the screen. The next second, he was so furious that blue veins popped on his forehead. He should have known that his two children had deliberately helped Kisa to escape, only he was too infuriated with the woman at the time that he lost his mind and did not think in that direction. At this moment, he was in a rage at seeing those chat messages. ¡®Heck! You¡¯re really good at it, Kisa. You have gotten my two kids to turn to you so quickly.¡¯ Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Seeing her father¡¯s face getting darker, Ada whispered, ¡°Andrew and I just want to find Mommy.¡± ¡°Why do you want to find her?¡± He lost his mind when he thought of that vicious woman trying to threaten him with his child. ¡°Do you think your mommy loves you very much? I tell you what¡ªno, she doesn¡¯t love you at all. She even went so far as to use you to escape her responsibility¡ª¡± Gilbert stopped abruptly at seeing Ada¡¯s eyes reddening. ¡®Damn it! How could I tell that to a child?¡¯ ¡°No. Mommy loves Andrew and me. You lied. Mommy loves Andrew and me.¡± Gilbert clenched his hands quietly, and his hatred for Kisa grew stronger. Just then, the family butler rushed in. ¡°Why are you two quarreling?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want Daddy. He lied. I don¡¯t want Daddy. My mommy loves me. I want my mommy.¡± Gilbert took a deep breath. ¡°Comfort her.¡± With that, he strode away with exasperation. The car soon drove out of the courtyard. ¡®Kisa said that if you refused to release her from prison, she would not let your child be born safely.¡¯ All that echoed in his mind was what Sharon had told him outside the prison back then. ¡®Heck! It is ridiculous to expect a selfish, vicious woman to love her children.¡¯ He clutched the steering wheel, and because of his monstrous hatred, a sinister fury was all over his face. ¡®Kisa, I will never spare you in this life.¡¯ At night, Kisay in bed, shivering in the cold. Since her health started to fail, she was terrified of the cold. Even more so in this kind of weather, her hands and feet felt cold even if shey under the covers all night. At that moment, Andrew suddenly rolled into her arms. She felt awkward and pushed him away. But in a moment, he rolled over again as if looking for a sense of security. Kisa frowned and finally took him into her arms. She adjusted her sleeping position and tucked Andrew in again. Just as she was about to fall asleep, someone knocked on the door like crazy. Afraid of waking up Andrew, Kisa rushed to get up. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 13 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 13 Chapter 13 He Kisses Her ¡°Who is it?¡± Because it waste at night, she did not dare to open the door but asked in a deep voice. No one answered outside, but the knocking was incessant. She panicked but kept her breath steady. ¡°I won¡¯t open the door until you make a sound.¡± The rapping on the door continued for a few more beats before a low, suppressed yell came. ¡°Kisa Becker!¡± She shuddered. ¡®It is Gilbert¡¯s voice. He is still haunting her like a ghost. I should have known it; as long as I¡¯m still in this city, I can never get away from him. But is heing here in the middle of the night to settle a score with her, or to get his son back?¡¯ ¡°Open up! Kisa, open up!¡± Kisa was so afraid of him that she would not open the door. She dragged the table over to block the door, crawled under the covers, and waited quietly, thinking he would leave when he had had enough. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. As expected, there was no sound outside after a short while. She waited for a while longer to make sure there was no sound outside before she got up and dragged the table away. After that, she cautiously opened the door. A gust of icy wind rushed in, and she pulled her cor closer to herself. She then poked her head out, and then in the next moment, she saw a figure. Her heart missed a beat, and she hurried to close the door, but it was toote. Arge hand pushed against the door, preventing it from closing. Before she could react, a powerful force dragged her out. ¡°You¡ª¡± Just as she was about to say something, Gilbert forcefully pinned her against the wall, and he reeked of alcohol. Under the dim light in the hallway, she saw the man¡¯s scarlet eyes and murderous look, as if he wanted to eat her alive. ¡°Wh-What do you want? Don¡¯t forget, your son is still with me.¡± ¡®She is threatening me with the child again? If I could, he would love to cut through her chest and see what color her heart really is.¡¯ He held back his emotions and asked drunkenly, ¡°Was it because you wanted to threaten me that you deliberately conceived with my child?¡± She felt a pang of pain in her heart. ¡®So that is how he has always seen her. No wonder he didn¡¯t like the child.¡¯ She wanted to tell him that was not the case, that the pregnancy was an ident, that she never wanted to threaten him with the child, but she loved the child and wanted him to ept the child and their family to be together happily. But the thought of his bitter abhorrence caused the words to choke in her throat. She figured that since he was so disgusted with her, telling him all that would just make a fool of herself. She let out a distant, sarcastic smirk. ¡°What else, if not that? Since you loathe me so much, could I still expect you to change your mind about me because I¡¯m carrying your child?¡± ¡°Kisa!¡± Gilbert clutched her shoulders with force, hating her so much that he wished he could crush her shoulder des. ¡°An evil woman like you doesn¡¯t deserve to have children. They love you so much. How could you¡­ how could you¡­?¡± Kisa frowned abruptly. ¡°What do you mean ¡®they¡¯?¡± The thought of a certain possibility made her arms tremble with emotions. ¡®Could it be that Andrew and Ada¡­¡¯ But this thought just shed through her mind and was dismissed instantly. After she was rescued five years ago, she saw the child¡¯s body with her own eyes. It was so small and wrinkled, lying silently in a white cloth. Her child had died; there was no miracle. Her heart convulsed in pain at the thought of that child. She did not know what was wrong with Gilbert tonight,ing to question her about the child. All she knew was that she would never, ever forgive this man about the child. She pushed him away. ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you about the child. If you¡¯re here tonight to get your son back, then go in and take him away. If you¡¯re here to settle a score with me for your grandma and Sara, I have nothing but my life. Take it. There is no need to lock me up again and again.¡± Gilbert said nothing, just staring at her with some emotion, which she could not tell what they meant. Her ankle was in a cold sweat of pain. She did not want to dwell on it with this man any longer. Again, she tried to push him away, but he did not budge. Kisa was cornered. ¡°What the hell do you want? Mmm¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Gilbert lowered his head abruptly and nted his fiery kiss on her lips. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 14 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Why Should I? Kisa¡¯s eyes widened in shock in an instant. She could not believe that he was kissing her. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡®Isn¡¯t he disgusted with me?¡¯ Kisa came to her senses and struggled to break free. But Gilbert suddenly rested his head on her shoulder, motionless. She quietly calmed herself down and gave him a push. ¡°Gilbert, you¡­¡± Just then, he fell limply to the ground. It was apparent that he had one too many. Kisa sneered as she figured Gilbert had just mistaken her for Sara. That would exin why he kissed her. She shot a faint look at the man on the floor, then spun around and went back inside. While she was leaning her back against the cold door, an evil thought came to her mind. ¡®If Gilbert freezes to death outside tonight, I will have avenged my child¡¯s death, and there will be no more threats to my life going forward. But¡­¡¯ She hesitated as she looked over at Andrew, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. She realized that Andrew and Ada were good kids. She would feel sorry for them if they lost their father. Besides, she had not proven her innocence to Gilbert yet, so she would not let Gilbert die just like that. Kisa wrestled with herself in her mind for a long time before she pulled the door open again. After much effort, she finally dragged Gilbert, who had cked out, into the house. With a thin nket on the floor, he let Gilbert sleep on one side of the nket and pulled the other side over his body. This was all she could do to this man. At the very least, she did not take the opportunity to take revenge on him. Besides, there was no extra quilt in her house, and there was not even a sofa. The following day, Gilbert woke up with a terrible hangover, feeling cold and his head going to explode. He looked around and saw Kisa and Andrew sleeping soundly in bed. His face darkened the moment he realized he was lying on the floor. ¡®This goddamn woman has left me sleeping on the floor, but there is apparently still plenty of space on the bed.¡¯ He got up and quietly walked to the bedside with his hand clenched at his sides. In her sleep, Kisa sensed a pair of icy, piercing eyes staring at her. Atst, that stare jolted her out of her sleep. But she woke up with no one beside her bed. She thought of Gilbert and hurriedly looked at the floor again. The nket was crumpled into a ball, and he was long gone. Gilbert left without a word, and he did not even take Andrew with him. She wondered if he had decided to leave her alone. Kisa quietly breathed a sigh of relief when her phone suddenly vibrated. She turned on her phone to take a look. She sneered when she saw it was a text message from Gilbert. [Take care of my son since you took him. I will not spare you if anything happens to him.] She could feel the man¡¯s ruthlessness through the phone screen. ¡®Look how much he cares about his child with that woman. But what about my child?¡¯ This difference in treatment made her hate him so much. ¡®Since this son is so precious to him, he should have taken him away. Why leave him here, and why should I help him take care of his child with another woman? Why should I?¡¯ As she was thinking with resentment, Andrew suddenly sat up on the bed and rubbed his eyes. ¡°Ma¡¯am, I¡¯m so thirsty.¡± But Kisa did not respond. Andrew nced at her and felt that she was angry, so he did not dare to bother her again. Just as he was about to get up and go get himself some water, Kisa suddenly pulled him back down. ¡°Sit down.¡± Kisa sighed gently, then got him a ss of warm water. As much as she was filled with hatred, she could not be cruel to that child. Andrew took the water, took a sip, and spat it out. ¡°Ma¡¯am, I want some iced water.¡± Kisa frowned. ¡°It is winter. Why do you want to drink iced water?¡± ¡°But I feel hot.¡± ¡°Hot?¡± Kisa wondered. As this was a basement, where the temperature was a few degrees below zero, cold and dreary, he should not have felt hot. So she reached out to feel his forehead. Andrew instantly dodged. ¡°I just feel a little hot, a little thirsty, no fever.¡± With that, he poured the warm water down his neck in one go. Just then, Arie called. Kisa did not have to answer it to know it was a call to rush her to the set. She did not have time for Andrew. ¡°I¡¯m going to work. Do you want to go home or what?¡± ¡°I will just wait here for you toe back.¡± Kisa frowned again. ¡°I may not be back until veryte.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I will wait for you.¡± ¡°What about your meals?¡± ¡°I will make my own meal.¡± She looked at his well-behaved and understanding boy with a lump in her throat and also some annoyance. Arie called again, time and again. Atst, Kisa lost her patience. ¡°All right then. You can wait here if you want.¡± Despite saying so, she called her best friend Lea Garner toe over and take care of Andrew. Lea was a bar girl whom Kisa had once saved from being harassed. Since then, they became good friends who could talk about nothing and everything. A few days ago, Lea said she had a day off today. So Kisa could not be more relieved to have Leae over to take care of Andrew temporarily. After all, how could she befortable leaving such a small child in this cold basement? Not to mention that text message of Gilbert was threatening her. On the way to the set, Arie kept calling her, one call after another, as if Arie was rushing her to hell. When she finally arrived at the set, Arie scolded her in her face. ¡°Are you dying already? All the other assistants have long arrived, and you are the only one who has note until now. You might as well be the female lead if you like to assume great airs.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m sorry, Arie.¡± ¡°Get out of the way!¡± Arie looked at her one more time and pushed her away. Kisa staggered and then stumbled to the ground. But the next second she knew it, she ended up plunging into a firm embrace. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 15 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Something Happens to Andrew She looked up and was surprised to see a handsome face. It was Howard Mullen, the second male lead character in the Goddess of My Adoration drama series. Howard helped up Kisa like a gentleman and frowned at Arie. ¡°I remember you are ying the heroine¡¯s mother, right? Only half an episode is scheduled for the afternoon, so why are you rushing your assistant like this?¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Howard used to be an obscure actor and had been paired with Arie before, so Kisa still had an impression of him. It was just that she and Howard had never spoken. It really surprised her this time that Howard stood up for her. Arie squinted at Howard. ¡°She is my assistant. It is my business how I discipline her. Besides, you landed on the role of the second male lead just by luck, so why are you a busy body here?¡± Howard did not dwell on the issue with her but looked at Kisa with concern. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°Thanks a lot just now.¡± ¡°No problem at all.¡± Howard smiled and left. Murmurs rang out all around. ¡°That is strange. Isn¡¯t Howard always fawning on those famous stars? Why is he treating this ugly woman so nice today?¡± ¡°Yeah, he is not into this ugly woman, is he?¡± Arie rolled her eyes. ¡°Unless he is blind.¡± She red at Kisa. ¡°Why are you still standing there? Go get my costume.¡± ¡°Okay, Arie,¡± Kisa said, running out at once. As she went, she looked around nervously, afraid of running into Gilbert. After all, the leading actress of the drama was Sharon, and she had heard rumors about Sharon and Gilbert for a long time. So Gilbert could visit Sharon on the set. She just wondered who Andrew and Ada¡¯s mother was and if Gilbert really loved Sara. ¡®If Sara is a thing of the past, and the person whom Gilbert loves is the mother of his children, then what about Sharon? Who is the one he really loves?¡¯ She simply shook her head at the thought of this. ¡®Who that man loves has nothing to do with me!¡¯ She spent the morning with anxiety, but Gilbert did note over. ¡®Of course, he has a hangover and is probably resting at home today. That is good. I just need to wait out this afternoon. When Arie¡¯s scene is finished, she won¡¯te back to the set, and I won¡¯t run into Gilbert again.¡¯ With this thought in mind, even the box lunch of nd sd tasted extra good to her. While she was eating, the director suddenly came running over in a hurry. ¡°Since everyone is here, I have an announcement to make.¡± Kisa continued her meal, as the director usually announced things that had little to do with her. ¡°In response to the instructions from the top, starting from today, the second female lead in this drama will be yed by Arie.¡± Kisa coughed out a mouthful of chewed sd. She was petrified on the spot. ¡®Arie as the second female lead? Wouldn¡¯t I have toe to the set almost every day? What should I do? Gilbert did note to the set today, but as long as Sharon is still on the set, he wille to visit another day. ¡®I really don¡¯t want to see him at all. Even if he told me to take care of Andrew, it didn¡¯t mean he would leave me alone. Who can guarantee one day he won¡¯t go crazy, or after Andrew goes home, and he will capture and torture me again? It looks like no matter how hard I try to hide, I can¡¯t hide from that man¡¯s shadow.¡¯ In contrast to Kisa¡¯s panic reaction, Arie was jumping with joy. Just when the director was about to leave, Kisa subconsciously pulled the director aside. ¡°Why did you suddenly cast Arie as the second female lead?¡± The director was impatient. ¡°This is the instruction of GK senior management. Ask the GK senior management if you have the guts.¡± Kisa took two unsteady steps backward. ¡®Isn¡¯t the instruction from the top of GK also Gilbert¡¯s instructions? Heck! I knew it; Gilbert isn¡¯t going to leave me alone so easily. No matter how I try to run and hide, it is just a futile struggle.¡¯ While she was disconcerted by the announcement, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Lea who called. ¡°It¡¯s not good, Kisa. Something¡¯s happened to Andrew.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 16 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Differentiated Treatment When Kisa rushed to the hospital, Andrew was being treated in the emergency room. Her face turned slightly pale as she sat down on the bench, at a loss. Andrew still looked fine in the morning. She wondered why he was suddenly sent into the emergency room. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Lea was anxious. ¡°I saw that boy¡¯s face unusually rosy today. He seemed to have a mild fever, so I had him drink a lot of water. But he suddenly fainted on the floor at noon. It scared me to death!¡± Seeing Kisa¡¯s pale face and silence, Lea held her hand tofort her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It might just be a normal fever.¡± ¡®He wouldn¡¯t have been admitted to the emergency room had it been just an ordinary fever. Andrew¡¯s case should be very serious.¡¯ A pang of guilt washed over her as she thought about how out-of-ce Andrew had been this morning. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and med herself. ¡°I actually noticed something wrong with him this morning. I should have brought him to the hospital first thing in the morning. It is all my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have held any prejudice against him. I¡ª¡± ¡°Kisa, it is not your fault at all. He only had a mild fever. No one would see thising.¡± Kisa covered her face, feeling bad. After a long while, she finally took out her cell phone and was about to notify Gilbert. Lea stopped her. ¡°You¡¯re not going to inform the boy¡¯s father, are you?¡± Kisa was silent. Lea continued, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say he wouldn¡¯t spare you if you didn¡¯t take good care of his son? I think it¡¯s better to wait for the doctor toe out.¡± As they were talking, the door of the emergency room opened. Kisa rushed to meet the doctor. ¡°How is the boy?¡± ¡°The child has a respiratory infection that has caused a very serious case of pneumonia. Which one of you is the child¡¯s family?¡± Neither Kisa nor Lea said anything. The doctor said urgently, ¡°The child¡¯s condition is serious. Hurry up and call the parents over.¡± Now Kisa could not care less about anything else and quickly informed Gilbert. Strangely, however, Gilbert did not speak any harsh words to her on the phone. Instead, he asked for the hospital¡¯s address and hung up. Lea looked at her worriedly. ¡± Andrew¡¯s situation is so bad now, and I don¡¯t know what his father will do to you when hees. From the tone of your voice before this, you seem to have some problems with his father.¡± Kisa forced a smile. It did not matter to her now. Gilbert had always been hostile to her anyway, not to mention that he had already used her of harming his grandmother and Sara. She was not afraid of facing another usation. Gilbert, apanied by Sharon, arrived shortly afterward. He barely looked at Kisa and headed straight to the emergency room. ¡°Doctor, I am the father of the child. How is my son?¡± ¡°The child has a recurrent low-grade fever, plus a respiratory infection that has induced several conditions. So hurry up and check him in with me.¡± Without a moment¡¯s dy, Gilbert hurriedly followed the doctor away. Lea sighed in relief at sight. ¡°It seems he is too upied with his son and has no time for you. That¡¯s a good thing.¡± Kisa gazed at Gilbert from behind as he went. She had a lump in her throat, and her eyes gradually welled up. ¡®It looks like he really loves this child of his. Kisa knew that Andrew¡¯s condition was still uncertain at this moment and should not hold any resentment in her heart. But seeing Gilbert¡¯s love for Andrew, she was inevitably saddened at the thought of her unborn child. Gilbert never asked about her child. She wondered why he gave the differentiated treatment when her unborn child was also his. She knew he had always loathed her, but she could not understand why he had to involve her child. Sharon suddenly came over with an anxious face. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 17 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Are You Even Human? Kisa took a deep breath and quickly fought back her sadness. ¡°Kisa,¡± Sharon walked up to her with a clear tone of reproach, ¡°How on earth did you take care of Andrew? You can¡¯t just mistreat him because he is Gilbert¡¯s child with someone else. The child is innocent.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Lea immediately said defiantly. ¡°What do you mean mistreat? No one would expect the child to get sick, okay? And when he is sick, Kisa is also anxious, okay?¡± ¡°But why was it such a coincidence that Andrew got sick just after he arrived at your ce?¡± Sharon questioned, staring at Kisa. Kisa did not make a sound, and Sharon continued. ¡°You know, Andrew has been weak since he was born. His lungs are not well developed, and minor sickness can induce a major illness. That is why Gilbert has been taking care of him meticulously.¡± ¡°What?¡± Kisa was uptight upon hearing that. ¡°Forget it.¡± Sharon¡¯s expression finally eased up. ¡°Leave before Gilbert notices you. He really hates you this time. He said you should have died five years ago and should not have been alive.¡± Kisa thought she would not feel sad for this man again, but hearing what Sharon said, her heart still ached involuntarily. She said in self-deprecating tones, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Just let him kill me again if he dares.¡± Sharon appeared helpless and anxious. ¡°It is not like you don¡¯t know Gilbert hates you, which has never changed. You should not be stubborn with him, nor should you harbor false hope about him. You better leave before hees over, really.¡± Every word that Sharon said pierced into her, causing her heart to drip with blood. ¡®The man I once loved with my life is bent on my death. How pathetic I am.¡¯ Sharon nced at her sorrowful eyes. ¡°Listen to me; go now. You have survived after all the trials. I can¡¯t let anything happen to you again.¡± Lea was anxious and pulled Kisa away. ¡°She is right, Kisa. Let¡¯s go. It is useless for you to wait here. You might further upset him.¡± Kisa looked down and did not respond. So Lea pushed her away, and just as they reached the elevator, Gilbert came over. He still looked ruthless as ever, but his warmthless eyes had stronger hatred and a hint of mockery in them. ¡°Are you trying to run away even though Andrew¡¯s condition is still unknown?¡± ¡°No, it was¡ª¡± Just as Lea wanted to say something, Sharon rushed over and interrupted her. ¡°Andrew is still in the emergency room. You should at least wait until Andrew¡¯s condition is stable before you go.¡± Kisa frowned and stared at Sharon, who acted differently from what she had been earlier. ¡®What is she talking about?¡¯ Not only Kisa but Lea was also stunned. ¡°You¡¯re lying. It was obviously you¡ª¡± ¡°Andrew might not be your child, but you shouldn¡¯t target a child because of your hatred and prejudice.¡± Sharon cut Lea off again and stared at Kisa with disappointment. ¡°I clearly reminded you to not let Andrew get sick. But you made him sick on purpose to get back at Gilbert. It is all my fault that my well- meant reminder turned out to be a tool for you to use against Gilbert.¡± Kisa stared at Sharon, who still had that gentle, innocent look, but she was no longer the same Sharon as before. Or perhaps she had never really known this half-sister of hers. ¡°Kisa!¡± Gilbert yelled, looking at her like she was a piece of trash. ¡°Are you even human?¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. Kisa forced a smile. ¡®He really bought Sharon¡¯s words and thought I was targeting Andrew by making him sick on purpose. But it doesn¡¯t matter. After all, he never trusts me.¡¯ She smirked and said, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m taking it personally. Why should your child with that woman be alive and well, but mine is dead? Why should I take care of yours? Gilbert, tell me¡­¡± Gilbert shot her a re. She continued. ¡°What about our child? What is our child to you? Have you thought about him in thest five years?¡± He was stunned for a moment and then sneered. ¡°You have the nerve to mention the child? A vicious woman like you doesn¡¯t deserve to give birth to my child and is even less worthy of being the mother of a child. It is better if that child is gone, so he won¡¯t be like you.¡± SLAP! As soon as his voice trailed off, a crisp p suddenly sounded. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 18 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 18 Chapter 18 You¡¯re a Piece of Trash Kisa clenched her hands at her side, her body trembling from rage. ¡®How can he say the child is better off gone? It was his child. How can he?¡¯ Gilbert tilted his head, and a fingerprint gradually emerged on his handsome face. ¡°You are dead!¡± He growled and abruptly grabbed her by the neck and pushed her against the icy wall forcefully. ¡°Kisa!¡± ¡°Kisa!¡± Lea and Sharon rushed forward, trying to break them up, but Gilbert swatted them away. He red at Kisa¡¯s reddened, ugly face and sneered. ¡°You think I will believe you if you show your love and affection for that child? Had you loved that child, you should have died with that child. Why do you still want to live?¡± Kisa was so heartbroken that she almost choked. ¡®Yeah, why am I still alive? The moment I saw the child¡¯s body, I should have died with the child. Why am I still struggling on while at death¡¯s door?¡¯ A moment of grief hit her, and she felt her heart tearing apart. She looked at Gilbert¡¯s disdainful face and said, ¡°You¡¯re right. I shouldn¡¯t be alive. I should have been there for that child. Gilbert, kill me, kill me.¡± He red at her. His hand sping her neck got trembled. No one could tell whether it was because her words had affected him or he got even furious. Seeing Kisa about to suffocate, Lea rushed up and pushed Gilbert away. ¡°She will really die if you continue like this.¡± ¡°She will die?¡± Gilbert sounded like he had heard a joke. ¡°If she could die so easily, she would have died five years ago.¡± Lea was furious. ¡°Can¡¯t you see she is in pain? You know nothing. She¡¯s been relying on medications to keep her going because her body has already reached its limit.¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Kisa slumped to the ground in pain, her face turning pale because of the excruciating pain in her body. Gilbert¡¯s heart was uptight, but an icy sneer rose to his face as he recalled her deception and malice. ¡°Stop looking for sympathy. You being an assistant is simply a waste of talent; you should have be an actress.¡± ¡°You¡ª¡± Lea was so infuriated that she gritted her teeth. Kisa forced herself to get up and tugged at Lea¡¯s coat. ¡°L-Let¡¯s go.¡± While speaking, she looked at Gilbert and forced a smile. ¡°You are right; yes, I was faking it.¡± Gilbert quietly clenched his hands at his side, his eyes full of disdain. ¡°You¡¯re a piece of trash.¡± It hurt Kisa to hear him say she was trash. She clutched her hands to keep herself from copsing. She told herself she must hold on to thisst bit of dignity she had instead of showing him her vulnerability. Lea was so outraged that she had wanted to leave long ago. Just as the elevator doors opened, she hurriedly helped Kisa to go inside without a word. But Gilbert grabbed Kisa¡¯s arm. ¡°You can¡¯t leave until Andrew wakes up.¡± ¡®The child has been calling someone in his trance. For the sake of the child, it is best to let him see that person when he wakes up.¡¯ Remembering what the doctor had just said, Gilbert stared at Kisa. Kisa was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat and could not say a word. Lea was furious. ¡°So, you mean if Andrew never woke up, Kisa would have to stay here and keep watch?¡± Gilbert said nothing, just staring coldly at Kisa, never letting his hand off her. By this time, Kisa could no longer keep herself standing, as dizziness was getting the better of her. But she did not want to faint in front of this man. Even if she died, she had to die in a ce where this man could not see. She gritted her teeth and forced a smile. ¡°I will not take care of him. Y-You either get me killed o-or let me go.¡± ¡°Kisa!¡± Gilbert yelled, almost snapping her slender wrist. Lea was so anxious. Seeing Kisa¡¯s face getting paler and paler, she knew that those symptoms of Kisa¡¯s illness wereing back and rushed to find the medication on her. ¡°Did you forget to take your medication today?¡± Lea asked anxiously as she found the medicine on Kisa¡¯s body. At this point, Sharon suddenly said in a sad tone, ¡± Andrew likes you so much. If you don¡¯t want to take care of him, you should have talked to Gilbert nicely. Why pretend to be sick? That is so unbing of you.¡± ¡°Shut the hell up, b*tch!¡± Lea could not help but scold as she poured out the pills from the bottle. But the next second, arge hand pped the bottle of medicine to the ground, and Gilbert¡¯s disgusted voice rang. ¡°Drop the act already, Kisa! Is it that hard to ask you to take care of Andrew? How selfish and vicious have you be? Let me tell you this. Even if you are really sick and dying, you have to stay at Andrew¡¯s side¡ª¡± PUKE! Before his voice trailed off, Kisa suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, spattering it on his chest, dyeing thepel of his shirt red.

Kisa stared at him dead in the eye and forced a smile on her wan face. The crimson bloodstain at the corners of her lips looked horrifying ¡°I¡¯m finally dying Gilbert, are you happy now?¡± Gilbert subconsciously shook his head, eagerly trying to say something, but the woman in his arms slowly closed her eyes. All he heard was Lea¡¯s crying and screaming and Sharon¡¯s voice calling for a doctor. As if he did not hear all that, he carried the woman in her arms and ran straight to the emergency room. He identally knocked down many people as he ran, looking like a madman in the eyes of onlookers. The emergency room light came on, and he was barred from entering Sharon pulled him to sit on the bench andforted him. ¡°Kisa has always been in good health. Don¡¯t worry too much.¡± He did not respond, just staring sullenly at the blood on his chest, his body tensing up. No one knew how scared he was at the moment, only the slightly trembling hands giving him away. Lea was filled with grief and anger, and she cried and yelled at Gilbert, ¡°I long said that she would die, Why didn¡¯t you believe me? Do you know that those pills are the only thing that can prolong her life? What you knocked down was not just a bottle of pills but her life. If anything bad happens to her today, it is on you; you¡¯re the killer!¡± ¡°Enough. Stop talking. Gilbert is also worried. He didn¡¯t expect this either.¡± Sharon could not help but say. Looking back at Gilbert, Sharon found he was still sitting in the same posture. He was expressionless and even looked cold blooded in the eyes of onlookers. But Sharon knew that he was scared. He was afraid that Kisa would really die. She clenched her hands at her side with jealousy. This time, she wished Kisa better be dead. Otherwise, she would do whatever it took to make Kisa disappear from this world. Just then, a doctor suddenly hurried over. ¡°Which one of you is Andrew¡¯s family? He is awake now and moring to see his father and some madam.¡± Gilbert remained unresponsive, with his dark eyes still fixated on the emergency room door. Sharon hastily tugged on his arm. ¡°Gilbert, go see Andrew, quick. I will wait here and let you know as soon as the doctores out.¡± Gilbert remained unmoved. Because of this, Sharon got even more jealous, wondering if Andrew was not as important as that woman to him. + N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. She gritted her teethi and continued to persuade him. ¡°Andrew is still small and weak. You should go to see him. Don¡¯t let his condition deteriorate further. Besides, my sister has just entered the emergency room. It will probably take a while-¡± Before Sharon finished, Gilbert suddenly stood up and walked toward Andrew¡¯s ward without a word. Just as he left, another doctor came over. ¡°Which one of you is Kisa¡¯s family member? I need you to give your consent for an emergency operation.¡± Lea shot a look at Sharon before following the doctor away. ¡®That b*tch ims to be Kisa¡¯s sister, but she is more sinister and vicious than enemies. After Lea left, Sharon stared at the emergency room door with frosty eyes and a sinister smile on her face. ¡®Kisa, you really shouldn¡¯t have lived for the past five years. It is you who make me do this. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 20 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 20 Chapter 20 What Should I Do to Save You? ¡°Where is she? Where is Kisa?¡± Having soothed Andrew, Gilbert came over and saw the emergency room door wide open. There was not a single doctor inside, and Kisa was nowhere to be found. Sharon looked at the anxiety in Gilbert¡¯s eyes, and her heart was filled with jealousy. However, her expression remained gentle. ¡°Take it easy, Gilbert.

Gilbert hissed at Sharon, not waiting for her to finish. ¡°I¡¯m asking about Kisa?¡± She was stunned Gilbert had never yelled, not even raised his voice at her like that, since she was young Jealousy filled her heart, But she was a natural actress. She could maintain that gentle and innocent look even if she was jealous to the point of frenzy, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Gilbert Kisa is fine.¡± ¡°How can she be fine after vomiting so much blood?¡± Gilbert was frantic and searched everywhere outside the emergency room. While this was going on, Kisa¡¯s attending doctor canne over. ¡°d you¡¯re here. I was looking for you. The patient you just brought in was nothing serious. She is out of the hospital now. She didn¡¯t vomit blood, the blood was fake, just a blood packet held in her mouth beforehand.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Gilbert sounded like he had heard a joke. Heughed, but it was unsettling. ¡°Did you say the blood was fake?¡± ¡°Yes. I checked her body. She is thin but healthy. As for this bottle of pills¡­¡± The doctor took out the bottle that Gilbert had just knocked down to the ground. ¡°It¡¯s just a bottle of some vitamin tablets.¡± Vitamin tablets? Heck!¡± Gilbert suddenlyughed morosely. ¡°You deceived everyone, Kisa.¡± The doctor nced at him sheepishly and hurriedly left. Sharon thought for a second and hurriedly said to Gilbert, ¡°I think Kisa has her own reasons for lying to you. She must be afraid that you would chastise her for causing Andrew to fall sick, so she pulled this trick, trying to gain your sympathy. Don¡¯t be angry with her.¡± ¡°She has her own reasons? Heck!¡± Gilbert sneered. ¡°You probably forget that since childhood, she has always been a liar, a bloody habitual liar.¡± When Kisa was thirteen years old, she said to him, ¡°Gilbert, I¡¯m sick, the kind that can¡¯t be cured. Can you grant me a wish?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°The day after tomorrow is my thirteenth birthday. Will you spend the day with me?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Back then, Ki?a said she was sick, and he believed it. And now that she said she was dying, he believed it again. ¡®Heck! Does she really think I¡¯m so easy to fool that she can deceive me again and again?¡¯ ¡°Kisa.¡± He gritted his teeth and forced her name through his teeth. The hatred and anger that exploded inside him seemed as if they could destroy the world. He told himself that he would not fall for her lie again-never again. In the chilly basement¨C Kisa was lying on the bed, shaking her head incessantly. She looked in pain, with sweat covering her forehead. ¡°It¡¯s not me, Gilbert. It¡¯s not me.¡± ¡°It hurts. Help me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m in pain, Gilbert.¡± ¡°Gilbert, save our baby. Save the baby.¡± Her eyes were closed, tears at the corners of her eyes. She kept murmuring with streaks of blood oozing out from the corner of her mouth. Lea cried as she wiped the tears from Kisa¡¯s eyes and blood from her mouth with handkerchiefs, which were stained red. The doctor¡¯s warmthless words were still ringing in her ears. ¡°She has such a high fever; her organs are showing signs of failure. She needs a miracle. If the fever goes down, maybe she can still live. If not, I¡¯ll have to be prepared for the worst.¡± Lea sobbed and hugged Kisa, who was suffering on the bed. ¡°What should I do to save you, Kisa? What should I do?¡± ¡°Gilbert, it hurts. It hurts.¡± ¡°Gilbert?¡± Lea scrambled to wipe away her tears, crying andughing at the same time. ¡°Yeah, why don¡¯t I look for Gilbert?

No one responded to her. After an hour, some bodyguards came out to chase her away. Lea cried out in despair. She should have known better that Gilbert, who hated kisa and wanted her dead so much, would not save Kisa. It was whimsy to think that he would help. She regretteding to beg that cold blooded man. Behind a window on the second floor, Sharon watched with a smug on her face as Lea went. She wants to save that woman? Heck! Dream on!¡¯ Shortly after Lea had left, a can drove into thepound. George carefully carried Andrew, who had just been discharged from the hospital, into the house, with Ada following along. As he came into the house, Sharon greeted him and said gently, ¡°You can just leave Andrew to me.¡± ¡°It is alright, Ms. Case. I will just carry him to his room.¡± George avoided Sharon and headed upstairs. Sharon narrowed her eyes. ¡°You old coot. I will kick you out of here when I be thedy of this house someday.¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am.¡± Hearing Ada¡¯s call, Sharon came out of her thoughts. She quickly hid the malicious look in her eyes away and reced it with a gentle one. ¡°What is it, baby?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t call me baby. Only my daddy and mommy can call me that.¡± Sharon was embarrassed and felt jealousy and disgust. But she still siniled gently. ¡°Fine, fine. I won¡¯t call you baby. I will just call you Ada. What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Your father asked me to take care of you guys.¡± ¡°Oh! Then I will tell Daddy we don¡¯t need you here,¡± said Ada before she went upstairs. Sharon was exasperated, staring at Ada as she went. Had she not thought that Gilbert would find a mother for his children and she was the most suitable candidate, she would not have let these two illegitimate children live. But what Sharon had not expected was that Gilbert would rather let these his children grow up in a single-parent home than marry her. She hated them to think of it. ¡°George, how many more days until Daddy gets back?¡± Ada was a little bored staying at Andrew¡¯s bedside. George stroked her head with an avuncr smile on his face. ¡°Your father has only been gone two days, and you miss him already?¡± ¡°Yeah, I love Daddy and also Mommy the most.¡± U11 George always felt a little sad when the children talked about their mother.

Let¡¯s go back and take a good rest.¡± Gilbert left the follow-up work to Davian and then followed George to the car. Feeling drained, he kneaded his forehead and asked in a low voice, ¡°Apart from Andrew¡¯s case, did anything else happen at home while I was away?¡± George hesitated for a long while before he said, ¡°dy came to the house ten days ago and made a scene.¡± Gilbert said nothing George thought for a moment and continued. ¡°She kept shouting your name, saying that Kisa w.is dying and asked you to save her.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 22 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Has She Died Yet? After George finished, he did not hear Gilbert¡¯s response for a while. So he could not help but nce in the rearview mirror, only to see Gilbert had closed his eyes with no expression on his face. No one knew what was on his mind. George pursed his lips, wondering if Gilbert really did not care about his wife at all now. As it was a matter of life and death, he could not help but speak again. ¡°Mr. Kooper, she-¡± ¡°Has she died yet?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± It struck George dumb when Gilbert suddenly spoke. ¡°Who died?¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. ¡°Kisa.¡± Gilbert¡¯s tone was nonchnt.

All get out.¡± Gilbert had just reached outside the room when dishes were thrown out,nding at his feet and shattering on the floor. He quietly stared with a darkened face at Andrew, who was throwing his tantrum inside. George had only mentioned on the phone that Andrew was throwing a tantrum and refused to eat every day, but he did not expect that it was all because of Kisa. Whenever Gilbert thought of the scene at the hospital that day, he would get so furious with blue veins popping up on his forehead. If it had not been for a sudden incident in thepany that required him to go on a business trip, he would have paid Kisa back in spades. While Gilbert was abroad, he had been thinking of skinning Kisa alive all the time. At this moment, when seeing his beloved son throw his tantrum over Kisa, his hatred and anger almost exploded. ¡°How long has he been like this?¡± ¡°He was moring to see the woman when he was in the hospital. Now it is even to the point of throwing his tantrums and making a hunger strike,¡± George said. Gilbert was even more furious upon hearing this. ¡®I wonder what that liar has done to my children that they now have be so attached to her.¡¯ ¡°Mr. Kooper, what should we do? Andrew is still sick. If he still refuses to eat, I¡¯m afraid¡± ¡°Force him to eat if he doesn¡¯t,¡± Gilbert said. ¡°How can you do that? This boy has always been amenable to coaxing, but not coercion. If you do that, I¡¯m afraid he will resent you,¡± George said. 1 ¡°It¡¯s better for him to resent me than to watch him starve to death.¡± George resignedly shook his head. After a while of hesitation, he said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask Mrs. Kooper back?¡± ¡°No way.¡± Gilbert snorted. ¡°But Andrew¡¯s life is more important. Whatever feud between you and your wife have, it can always be settledter.¡± This time, Gilbert hesitated.

Kisa had a long, long dream. She dreamed of her skipping ss and climbing over the school wall, ending up falling into the arms of a good-looking teenager. His first reaction was to throw her to the ground. Kisater learned that the teenager¡¯s name was Gilbert Kooper. Kisa¡¯s mother, on her deathbed, told Kisa that if she met someone named Gilbert during her lifetime, she must guard him with her life because she owed him. She had no idea what her mother was trying to say, but because of her mother¡¯s words, she started to please the teenager named Gilbert in every way. It was just that Gilbert did not like her and always bad-mouthed her. But in her dream, even though Gilbert was annoyed with her, she still felt happy. Despite him being annoyed with her, he never went back on his words when he promised her something There was no aching despair in the dreams until blood slowly flooded her dreams. A child was calling for his mother, his voice choking with sorrow and helplessness. She searched desperately, and her heart ached. Finally, she saw the back of a little boy, and she ran over to him with delight. But just as her hands touched the little boy, he suddenly turned into a cloud of blood mist. She copsed and screamed, desperately trying to grab him, but nothing was caught. ¡°No. Come back. Come back.¡± Kisa woke up in tears, staring nkly at the peeling ceiling above her head as if she was still immersed in the terrible dream she had just had. Lea rushed over and shed tears of joy. ¡°Kisa, you¡¯re finally awake.¡± Kisa paused for a long time before looking at her, her voice so hoarse that it sounded like it came from a machine. ¡°How long have I been asleep?¡± ¡°Half a month,¡± Lea said, suddenly crying with sadness. ¡°The doctor said your internal organs were damaged, almost incurable, and hospitalization would not help with your condition. He rmended I bring you back to recuperate. Then, when you had a high fever and vomited a lot of blood, the doctors said you were dying. I was scared to death, afraid that you would never wake up.¡± Kisa stroked Lea¡¯s hair, feeling sorry. ¡°I¡¯m fine now. Don¡¯t cry.¡± Her voice was even huskier than before, her lips dry and cracked.

Back then, because of the fire, Kisa¡¯s internal organs, as well as her vocal cord, were damaged. At first, she could not even eat and had to live on nutritional fluids, which eventually caused her stomach to atrophy in the long run. Now she could at least eat something, but not much, which was why she was so skinny, And years of taking medication led to problems with her liver. Her body was really at the end of its rope, and what saddened her even more was that she had be a burden to her best friend Kisa was dejected and med herself. ¡°Lea, you don¡¯t need to take care of me. I don¡¯t know how much longer I can hold on with this body.¡± ¡°Touch wood. Don¡¯t talk crap. You survived a great disaster back then, and you will be blessed from now on.¡± Kisa did not dare to think about any blessing. If she could still live another five years, then it was already a gift from heaven. Thinking of the day she vomited blood and fainted, Kisa hesitated for a while before saying, ¡°I had been unconscious for so long. Did he evere to see me?¡± Lea knew who Kisa was talking about and was furious at the mention of Gilbert. ¡°Don¡¯t mention him again. He left while you were still in the emergency room, and he never showed up again when you were transferred out of the hospital.

I will go out now and buy some ingredients to cook a good meal for you. Wait for me.¡± ¡°Okay. Be careful on the road.¡± After Lea left, Kisa wrapped her arms around her knees and slowly huddled into a ball. ¡®I knew it; that man would not bat an eye even if I died in front of him.¡¯ The familiar dull pain, which overwhelmed the other physical pains, rose in Kisa¡¯s heart again. Sheughed self-deprecatingly. Five years had passed, and deep inside, she still had a ridiculous hope for that man. But now, she hadpletely given up on him. Thinking about that dream just now, Kisa¡¯s self-deprecation slowly changed to bitterness and hatred. As her child died at the hands of Gilbert, she said to herself that she would have no illusion about that man again in this life, ever. Something warm flowed out of Kisa¡¯s eyes, and she quickly raised her hand to wipe it away. But when the little boy¡¯s cry in her dream came to mind, her heart convulsed, tears flowing non-stop from her eyes. How she wished the baby could live, and she was willing to exchange him for her life. Just as she was drowning in grief, a knock on the door came. She hesitated for a while before answering the door.

He felt like he was not lifting a person but a broken doll Nevertheless, the thought of how many times she had been faking her death in front of him enraged him. He lost his mind and threw her hard to the ground. ¡°If not for Andrew insisting on seeing you, do you think I would let you get close to him?¡± Kisa curled up on the floor in pain. But when she heard what he said, she could no longer care about the pain and asked in a trembling voice, ¡°D-Did you say Andrew wanted to see me?¡± Gilbert did not speak, his face looking unsympathetic. Kisa felt a pang of pain in her heart when she thought of how well-behaved and understanding Andrew was and his humble way of pleasing her.

It won¡¯t work.¡± Kisa quietly wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth, looking at him with a forced smile on her pale face. ¡°When did you acquire such a sharp eye that you could tell I¡¯m faking it every time?¡± Her mockery was obvious. Gilbert snorted and got into the car. Kisa calmed her breathing down and fought back the severe pain in her lungs as she walked over slowly. He started the car as soon as she got in She was caught off guard and thrown back into the seat, causing her to cough violently. All that filled the cabin was the sound of her coughing Gilbert was annoyed. He sneered, ¡°That is a realistic cough. Those who are uninformed would think you had a real lung disease.¡± Kisa clenched the hand at her side and tried hard to fight back the tingle in her throat.

But the strange thing was that after five years, this room was still in its original furnishings, everything exactly the same as five years ago. It seemed to her that in the five years she had been away, the man still did not live in this room. ¡®Heck! He hates me so much that he doesn¡¯t want to get on my scent.¡¯ The bathroom was filled with steam as Kisa stared at her unfamiliar self in the mirror andughed at herself. The person in the mirror looked miserably pale, her already small face thin and horribly ugly, with sparse bangs stuck together, revealing the horrific scar on the forehead. She looked even more frightening now than she did before. She wondered if Andrew and Ada would be scared when they saw her. Kisa quickly finished her shower because she could not wait to see Andrew. When she wanted to change her clothes, only did she realize she had brought none. And she had no idea that the first thing, Gilbert would make her do after she got here would be to take a shower. She looked at the dirty clothes on the floor drenched in water and did not know what to do. In desperation, she checked the closet in the bathroom, hoping there would be a few robes or something inside. As she opened the closet, she froze. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 26 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Your Sharp Eyes There was a ck shirt hanging in the empty closet. Kisa frowned, wondering why there was a ck shirt. Judging by its size, it should belong to Gilbert. She took it out. ¡°There were no Gilbert¡¯s belongings in this room back then. So when was this shirt brought in here? Did the maid hang it here by mistake?¡¯ It baffled her, but she did not harp on it for too long. She just put the shirt on. It was so big that it looked like an oversized dress on her body. And it smelled of tobo, too. The thought that Gilbert might have worn this shirt before made her feel ufortable. But she could only put up with it while she went to see if her old clothes were still in the bedroom. She wondered if Gilbert had sent someone to pack her belongings in the basement. If he had not, she would have no clothes to change into. She opened the bathroom door and hurriedly ran to the closet. As she opened the closet, it was full of her old clothes. It surprised her that none of her previous clothes had been thrown out yet. Kisa was delighted. Just when she was about to pick one and change into it, a dull, husky voice came from behind her. ¡°You can¡¯t wear your old clothes anymore. I have asked someone to buy new ones for you.¡± Kisa froze, not expecting Gilbert in the room. She turned around awkwardly and saw Gilbert sitting laggardly on the couch. He was staring at her with dark eyes. It was unnerving. ¡°Wh-What are you doing here?¡± As far as she knew, he had nevere in before. She was bony, but in Gilbert¡¯s eyes, the ck shirt on her body gave her a different kind of sexiness. Especially the slightly open neckline and the exposed legs were alluring. ¡®Damn it.¡¯Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. It had been a while since hest touched a woman. He could not believe that he found this woman attractive and sexy. Noticing his lustful gaze, Kisa subconsciously took a piece of clothing from the closet to cover her body. Gilbert smirked. ¡°Since you have deliberately put on my shirt to seduce me, why cover it up and y hard to get?¡± ¡°See? He always thinks of me in such a bad way.¡¯ Grief and indignation rose in Kisa. She suddenlyughed and removed the clothing in front of her. ¡°Your sharp eyes always see what is on my mind.¡± Gilbert shorted. He took a mouthful of the water George had just poured, but he still felt unsettled. Kisa walked toward him. ¡°Yeah, I want to seduce you because, you know, you¡¯re the CEO of GK. ¡°She stared him in the eyes with a smile. ¡°Judging by the way you look at me, you seem to be interested in me dressed this way.¡± She had never used to talk to Gilbert like this before. But now, she couldn¡¯t care less. Since this man held prejudice against her, she might as well act like the person whom he thought she was, lest he would be disappointed. Gilbert stared at her open cor and forced his words through his teeth. ¡°Get out.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Kisa snickered. ¡°Isn¡¯t this my room? It¡¯s you who should get out!¡± ¡°Kisa Becker!¡± Gilbert rolled over and pinned her down hard on the couch. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 27 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Do Yourself a Favor Kisa was shocked, but she still brazened it out. ¡°But you asked me to take care of Andrew. Are you trying to chase me away again?¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Gilbert held her down by her bony shoulders, gasping as his eyesnded on the corner of her lifted shirt, where he got a glimpse of her skin underneath. ¡®This damn ugly woman is still so seductive.¡¯ He gritted his teeth and stared at her for a long while. He then got up and said coldly, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, since you¡¯re here to take care of Andrew, then take care of him sincerely. Otherwise, you will regret it.¡± ¡°Heh, why did you call me here if you were so worried?¡± ¡°You think I want to?¡± Gilbert pushed her away in disgust. ¡°You¡¯d better do yourself a favor by treating my children with sincere care.¡± With that, he left the room without sparing her another nce. ¡®Do myself a favor?¡¯ Kisa let out a sarcastic smile. ¡®How vicious and hical does he think I am that I need to do myself a favor?¡¯ Not long after Gilbert left, George brought her clothes. Her old clothes no longer fitted her. They looked ridiculously big on her. With her bony body, it was almost impossible to get clothes that fit. But strangely enough, the clothes George sent her fitted her perfectly as if they were tailor made. The children¡¯s room¨C When Kisa opened the door, a pillow, apanied by a kiddish roar, was hurled at her. ¡°Get out of here.¡± Kisa caught the pillow and frowned at the child on the bed, wondering when the boy had be so grumpy. Andrew was seen lying with his back to the door, and Ada was sitting on the edge of the bed with him. When Ada saw it was Kisa who came in, she shook Andrew. ¡°It¡¯s Ma¡¯am. Ma¡¯am is here.¡± Andrew sat up on the bed and burst into tears involuntarily. Kisa also had a lump in her throat upon seeing this. She knew she should not have any feelings for these two children. But in this case, she could not help but feel sorry for them. Andrew lost a lot of weight and looked pale. Andrew said with both agerievement and rage. ¡°They all say you made me sick, but that¡¯s not it; that¡¯s how my health has been. Why did they liave to me you?¡± See? Even a child can reason better than those adults.¡¯ Kisa walked over and chuckled. ¡°So, you deliberately refuse to catto pique them?¡± Andrew pouted. ¡°I don¡¯t care. I just want you anyway.¡± Just then, George brought up a light meal. Kisa took it and gave Andrew a slightly stiff smile. ¡°This time, I will feed you, and you have got to eat it.¡± Every time she wanted to be nice to this child, she would feel guilty and conflicted because of her dead baby. This ambivalence tore at her and made her feel awkward when facing Andrew and Ada. In contrast, the children did not have suchplicated feelings. They just felt happy that the people they liked were by their side. Outside the door, George looked at Gilbert. ¡°Strange, Andrew and Ada are really fond of Mrs. Kooper. I don¡¯t know if this is fate.¡± Gilbert stared soberly at what had happened in the room. ¡®This is not fate, but connection. Had she not threatened me with the child five years ago, I wouldn¡¯t have kept the two children from her. She doesn¡¯t deserve to be the mother of the children, and I will never let her know that these two children are hers.¡¯ Staying at the Kooper residence again, Kisa felt like a lifetime ago when she saw the familiar surroundings. Perhaps because of her troubled mind, shey in bed tossing and turning all night long Arie¡¯s call came at dawn. As usual, she scolded and urged Kisa to go to the set. Kisa liad been absent from work for half a month, so she knew she had to go to the set today. It was just that her health was in bad shape, and theck of sleep caused her to feel dizzy when she got up. She dragged herself to the bathroom and washed up, then got ready to go out. And just as she pulled open the door, her vision went dark, and she fell forward involuntarily. Instead of the expected pain from hitting the ground, she fell into a cold but muscr embrace Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 28 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 28 Chapter 28 The Mysterious Person An icy voice of mockery came from overhead. ¡°You really can¡¯t stop pretending, can you? With such superb acting skills, you should have be an actress instead of just working as an assistant. What a waste of talent.¡± Kisa clenched her fists, trying desperately to keep herself awake. She stood up with difficulty from his arms and beamed at him. ¡°Yeah, it really is a waste of my talent. How about you sign me up under GK?¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. He found Kisa¡¯s pale smile ring. He found her acting so good that it looked genuine despite knowing it was fake. Had he not already known her malevolent intention, he would have bought into her pretense. Seeing the man¡¯s eyes be colder and more disgusted, Kisa fought back the difort in her body and smirked. ¡°That¡¯s strange. How did you happen to be here? Could it be that you have been guarding me outside the door all night?¡± She knew that this man could not have guarded lier. She said so just to troll him. Gilbert could hear hier sarcasm. ¡°Guard you? In your dream, Kisa. I¡¯m just afraid you will do something crazy at night because you are so vicious-minded.¡± Kisa sneered. ¡°If that is the case, you really shouldn¡¯t have let me stay here. I¡¯m sorry for the trouble.¡± Gilbert snorted and looked away as if he was tired of looking at her. Neither did Kisa want to dwell on it, so she sidled away and prepared to leave. But Gilbert suddenly tugged at her. ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡± It was obviously a questioning tone. Kisa jerked her arm back hard and sneered. ¡°Do you even want to control me when I go to work?¡± ¡°Of course not.¡± Gilbert snickered and leaned against the wall with his hands digging into his pockets. ¡°It is just that, since you are here to take care of Andrew, you should be fullymitted to taking care of him. Don¡¯t bother with your assistant job.¡± ¡°What right do you have to do that?¡± Kisa was not too happy; she was indignant. She knew this boy he had with that woman was precious to him, but she would quit her job just to take care of their son, not to mention it sounded ridiculous. ¡°Just because you made Andrew sick.¡± Gilbert snorted. ¡°If you are worried about that contract, fine. I will give you a hundred million dors, and you pay that to Arie and resign.¡± It did not surprise Kisa that he could find out about that contract. But she declined. ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary.¡± ¡°you¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will take good care of Andrew. My job as an assistant has be so busy because you have suddenly made Arie the second female lead, and I have be her body double. I will definitely thank you for it if I be popr because of this exposure one day.¡± Kisa said that with the utmost sarcasm. Gilbert stared at her and suddenly felt that Kisa had really changed a lot. She had never spoken to him in such a sarcastic manner in the past. Instead, she had always been pleasing him. And now, he was not used to her sarcastic and distant attitude. He was even a little annoyed. Just then, his cell phone rang; it was Davian calling. ¡°Mr. Kooper, I have found out who Arie¡¯s boss is. Her name is Amy Robinson. She was once an actress with a little fame. She set up a studio and signed Arie up. But when I mentioned the contract, she had just a smattering of knowledge of it.¡± Gilbert frowned. Davian continued. ¡°Amy Robinson only said that it was her backer who asked Arie to sign the contract, and she didn¡¯t know the content of the contract. We followed the lead and found her backer, who also turned out to know nothing about the contract and only said that a mysterious person had given him the contract. No one has ever seen the mysterious person, and we have no way to find out.¡± Now Gilbert frowned even harder. ¡°Mr. Kooper, who do you think the mysterious person is? Why would he want Mrs. Kooper to be tied up with Arie? Could he be rted to Arie? Should we look into it from that aspect?¡± ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary.¡± Gilbert stared sullenly at Kisa. He wondered, ¡®What could the mystery person have to do with Arie? If there is a rtionship, it must be with Kisa. After all, that contract is in Kisa¡¯s favor in any way I look at it. ¡°Just that, among the people around Kisa back then, who could be so capable that even Davian could not find out the slightest information? Could it be that in the intervening five years, she has long since found favor with some big shot?¡¯ Kisa had goosebumps all over her body from his stare. She took two steps back and said with a steady breath, ¡°I¡¯m going to work.¡± With that, she spun around to leave. Just then, Gilbert¡¯s icy voice came from behind her. ¡°You have been in contact with Jensen for the past five years, haven¡¯t you?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 29 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 29 Chapter 29 She is a Schemer Kisa stopped in her tracks. Gilbert narrowed his eyes and stared at her from behind. ¡°He¡¯s the one who made you sign that contract, isn¡¯t he?¡± He could not think of anyone else, other than Jensen, who could be so capable Kisa slowly turned around and looked at him expressionlessly. ¡°Jensen and I have not been in contact for a long time. He didn¡¯t make me sign the contract. As for who it was, why should I tell you?¡± Actually, even kisa had no idea about the identity of that mysterious person who made her sign the contract. But even if she knew the person, she would not tell Gilbert. After all, that mysterious person was the benefactor who saved her life, while Gilbert was the enemy who killed her. There was no reason for her to tell her enemy the information of her benefactor. She looked at Gilbert¡¯s darkened face and sneered. ¡°Speaking of which, the contract is between Arie and me. Why are you checking on it?¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t check it out, how can I prevent those unseen evil tactics of yours? After all, 1 checked too little on your background back then.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Kisa sounded like she had heard a joke. ¡°Was that even necessary? From the time we first met, you¡¯ve already seen me as someone evil, haven¡¯t you?¡± Gilbert did not respond, but an image that he still brooded over shed through his mind, That day, Kisa and Jensen were standing under a tree, and Jensen asked her, ¡°Why are you always trying to please Gilbert? Do you like him?¡± ¡°No. But I have my reason to please him.¡± ¡°What reason? To marry him and be the wife of GK¡¯s CEO?¡±N?velDrama.Org content rights. ¡°I¡¯m not going to tell you.¡± From that moment, Gilbert perceived that Kisa was not as innocent as she appeared. He saw her as a schemer who was full of lies, good at disguise, and ttery. He believed that his grandmother had fallen prey to her after being deceived by her looks. If he could turn back the time, he would never get into a rtionship with a wicked woman like her. Kisa rushed over and arrived at the set before seven o¡¯clock. Arie was surrounded by some staff members attending to her needs. Kisa kneaded her painful forehead and quickly reported to Arie. Suddenly, Arie threw a ss of water at her face uncereinoniously. ¡°Yo, you¡¯re still alive, huh? You went missing for so long that I thought you were dead, and I was thinking of how to celebrate.¡± Kisa wiped the water stains on her face. Luckily, it was not hot water, and thanks to the cold water, her mind was clearer. ¡°It was my fault for missing work. You can deduct my sry, Arie. I won¡¯t do it next time,¡± she said sincerely It just so happened that Arie had a scene to shoot. She kicked Kisa in the calf and said with disgust, ¡°Get lost. I¡¯m sick of seeing you.¡± Kisa stumbled a few steps and nearly fell, but Howard helped her up, fortunately. Howard pulled her to a corner and looked at her with concern. ¡°Raine, are you all right?¡± Kisa was stunned for a moment and shook her head in panic. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Thank you again this time.¡± Gilbert had been pestering her with his grim calls for her name, Kisa, making her forget about her current alias: Raine. Howard nced at her soaked cor and hurriedly took his coat off to cover her body. Kisa was startled and quickly waved her hand to decline. ¡°No, no, I¡¯m not cold.¡± ¡°Put it on. Don¡¯t get sick on such a chilly day. Besides, I have a scene that will start shooting soon, and I can¡¯t wear it.¡± ¡°But-¡± As Kisa still had something to say, Howard was already running to the director. She frowned and stared at the coat draping on her, feeling weird and puzzled why Howard was nice to her. ¡°Hey, see that? I told you that Howard has a rtionship with this woman, and you didn¡¯t believe me.¡± ¡°No one would believe it, okay? After all, Howard is at least a handsome young man, but look at how ugly this woman is. Who would have thought of them being together?¡± ¡°You better believe it. Some people have weird tastes in women. Howard must be one of them.¡± ¡°Come on, what¡¯s the point of talking about them? I heard from Sharon¡¯s assistant that Mr. Kooper ising to visit Sharon again later.¡± ¡°If Mr. Kooper ising again, I will have to impress him. Who knows, I might be as lucky as Arie was?¡± Kisa was annoyed at hearing them talking about Gilbert. ¡®Why does that man has to be everywhere?¡¯ At lunchtime, Kisa looked for a quiet corner, hoping not to run into Gilbert. She sat down against the wall and then closed her eyes for a moment to catch her breath. Kisa had been feeling procey all day today and just wished she could call it a day early this afternoon. She opened her lunchbox, and before she could take a bite, someone suddenly shouted in her direction Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 30 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Does She Deserve It? ¡°Mr. Kooper ising. He ising this way.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she was so frightened that she almost dropped the lunchbox. ¡°This is obviously the quietest ce backstage. Why would Gilberte here?¡¯ She looked up with a pale face and saw Gilbert walking past her, not ncing askance. He made his way to Sharon, who was not far away. ¡®What the hell? Why is Sharon here? Kisa¡¯s dizzy and aching head hurt even more now. She should have known better than to squat hiere. Good thing Gilbert did not seem to notice her. While secretly celebrating, she suddenly found an extra chicken thigh in her lunchbox. She looked over in surprise and saw Howard¡¯s gentle, smiling face. ¡°You -¡± ¡°You¡¯re too skinny. You need to eat more meat.¡± ¡°No, no, no.¡± Kisa snapped back. She quickly chucked the chicken thigh back into his lunchbox. Howard put it back into her lunchbox and gave Kisa a genuine smile. ¡°Raine, you are really too skinny and fragile. You need to replenish your energy. Otherwise, next time Arie pushes you, you will stumble again.¡± As Gilbert was here, Kisa was not in the mood to dwell on the chicken thigh with Howard. When she felt a pair of icy eyes staring at her, she could not help but look in Gilbert¡¯s direction. However, she found that he was not looking at her. That is strange. Could it be that I¡¯m too nervous and have an illusion?¡¯ ¡°Gilbert, I remember that Kisa also likes this spicy chicken. Why don¡¯t we give some to her as well?¡± Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. ¡°Does she deserve it?¡± Gilbert sneered and stared at Kisa with knife-like eyes. ¡®Heh! Even with her disfigured appearance, her ugly habit of pleasing men remained. Look at that ttering smile; how disgusting.¡¯ ¡°Raine, you are just too thin. You will surely look better if you gain some weight.¡± ¡°Thank you, Howard.¡± Kisa continued to sinile politely, hoping that Gilbert would leave quickly From time to time, there was a buzz in her ears, all about Gilbert and Sharon¡¯s gossip. They said that Gilbert would visit Sharon whenever she was shooting, and every time he visited, he would bring Sharon her favorite spicy chicken. Kisa felt sad at the thought of spicy chicken. When they were young, spicy chicken was a favorite dish for the three of them. Gilbert loathed her, but he would always bring her one whenever she wanted it. Now when she thought of the past, she just felt that it was distant, so much so that it was almost unreal. As she was thinking about it, a handsome face suddenly zoomed in front of her. Kisa was shocked and subconsciously backed away, but toward suddenly grabbed her waist and said in a deep voice, ¡°Don¡¯t move. You have got something in your eye.¡± Here, Gilbert¡¯s face had darkened as chatters came to ears from time to time. ¡°Hey, that ugly bitch is Arie¡¯s assistant, right? Tsk, she is superb at seducing men.¡± ¡°Exactly. Every time Arie pushed her, she would coincidentally¡¯ fall into Howard¡¯s arms. No one could be more scheming than her.¡± ¡°Absolutely. Just after Arie threw water at her this morning, she immediately acted pathetic in front of Howard. Look, she is still wearing Howard¡¯s coat.¡± Seeing Gilbert¡¯s darkened face, Sharon smirked. But when she spoke, she sounded kind and gentle. ¡°Don¡¯t listen to them, Gilbert. Kisa is weak. She ¨C Hey, Gilbert.¡± Before Sharon could finish her sentence, Gilbert already strode toward Kisa. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 31 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 31 Chapter 31 She Puts Her Life On the Line ¡°You okay?¡± Kisa did not dare move a muscle, waiting for Howard to blow the dirt out of her eyes. At this moment, she felt the searing eyes around her. She could not help but give Howard a push. ¡°It is all right. If you can¡®t get it out, forget it.¡± Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. ¡°Don¡®t move. It will be over soon,¡± Howard said, reaching down and gently touching her eyelid. ¡°You see, that is what is stuck to your eye. No wonder you just had a red eye.¡± Kisa felt embarrassed. Her eyes reddened just now because she had a lump in her throat when she recalled the past. But he did have a lint stuck to his finger. So Kisa smiled politely and thanked him. As she was backing away, she was shocked to see Gilbert standing in front of her with a grave face. After secretly calming herself down, she continued to eat the chicken thigh in her lunchbox with her head lowered, pretending not to see him. She thought he would not find trouble with her in public. Indeed, the man said nothing. He just called the director over. ¡°Mr. Kooper, what can I do for you?¡± Gilbert nced coldly at Howard and spoke slowly, ¡°Rece this male artist.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The director was startled for a moment. Kisa also stood up in shock, and because she was in such a hurry, her vision went dark, and she almost fell down again. Fortunately, Howard hurriedly held her up. Gilbert snorted and stared at her pale face with mockery. ¡®This woman will pretend in front of every man she meets.¡® Kisa could not care less about the dizziness. She was anxious. At first, she thought Gilbert would only find trouble with her, never expecting that it would implicate Howard. Howard had helped her several times. Even if he had not, she could not just let him lose their job for no reason because of her. She gritted her teeth and stared at Gilbert with hatred, suspecting that he was doing this on purpose to make her feel guilty. The director looked at Gilbert with a confused face. ¡°Mr. Kooper, why do you want to rece him for no reason?¡± ¡°As a male artist, he doesn¡®t keep his virtue and openly makes out with his female assistant. If this gets out, won¡®t it affect the reputation of this drama?¡± Gilbert said seriously, and the director did not dare to refute but looked in a predicament. ¡°It has been half a month into the shooting. Where should I go to find a recement actor?¡± ¡°That is your business,¡± Gilbert said coldly and left. Kisa looked at Howard with worried eyes, but he gave her a reassuring smile. ¡°It is okay. It is just a role.¡± The more he reassured her, the more guilt she felt. With no hesitation, she ran after Gilbert in the direction he had left, her frailty causing her to fall to the ground several times in her haste. ¡°Gilbert. Gilbert.¡± Kisa could not care less about the hand that hurt from the fall. She hurriedly got up to continue the chase. She finally reached the parking lot, where she saw Gilbert in his car. With ¡°no time to catch her breath, she stumbled over and rapped on the car window. ¡°Gilbert, listen to me. You can¡¯t rece Howard. What¡®s the point ofshing out at others when you have a grievance against me?¡± ¡°Drive.¡± Gilbert did not even look at Kisa as he ordered Davian with his eyes closed. Davian was a little hesitant. ¡°Mr. Kooper, why don¡®t you talk to Mrs. Kooper first?¡± Gilbert frowned. ¡°What Mrs. Kooper? Drive.¡± ¡°Erm...¡± ¡°Drive.¡± Sensing his boss¡®s anger, Davian hurriedly started the car. Just then, Kisa came to the front of the car and stood in the way. She spread her hands, adamant about stopping Gilbert from leaving Davian was startled and hurriedly braked, then looked back at Gilbert in a dilemma. ¡°Mr. Kooper, Mrs.¨C Miss Becker seems to be looking for you for something urgent. Why don¡®t you talk to her properly?¡± Gilbert slowly opened his eyes, a pair of grim eyes staring at the woman blocking the front of the car. ¡®She really puts her life on the line for that pretty boy. Heh, I¡®d like to see how far she can go for that man.¡® Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 32 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 32 Chapter 32 She Lost the Bet ¡°Davian, drive.¡± He spelled out the words as she stared at Kisa¡®s angry, stubborn, and pale face. Davian was dilemmatic. ¡°But Miss Becker is still in the way.¡± Gilbert sneered. ¡°Drive, and I will take the me if anything happens.¡± ¡°But¨C¡± ¡°One more word of nonsense from you, and you will be out of the job.¡± Davian instantly shut up and nced at Kisa in a predicament, then closed his eyes and stepped on the gas pedal with gritted teeth. ¡®This couple really wants to kill each other when they argue. Mrs. Kooper, this is an order from Mr. Kooper. Please don¡®t me me,¡® Davian thought to himself. The moment the car lunged forward, he could not help but open his eyes and find Kisa still blocking the front of the car. He screamed in terror as the car was about to hit Kisa. But in the nick of time, someone sprang out and pulled Kisa to the side as the car whizzed. Davian sighed a big sigh of relief. By the time he came out of shock, he had been sweating profusely. ¡°Mr. Kooper, M¨CMiss Becker isn¡®t even afraid of death.¡± Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. When Davian did not hear a response, he subconsciously looked back at the seat beside him and found Gilbert staring dead in the rearview mirror. He could not help but nce in the rearview mirror again and saw a handsome man with a clean¨Ccut look hugging Kisa. ¡®Whew, that should be the man who just saved Mrs. Kooper.¡® He was in a cold sweat when he thought of how Kisa had just blocked the front of the car. ¡°Heh, she could even risk her life for a man she only met a short while ago.¡± Gilbert suddenly sneered with frosty eyes. ¡°No wonder she refused the 100 million dors earlier and stayed on the set even though she was being bossed around by Arie. It must be for that man.¡± Davian pursed his lips, not daring to utter a sound. Gilbert¡®s voice reeked of jealousy, but he might not be aware of it himself. Kisa¡®s heart was pounding. When she realized she had just gambled with her life, that Gilbert would stop, and she lost. There was no wonder. Since Gilbert hated her so much that he wanted her dead, there was no way he would care if she lived or died. When she thought about it, she found it ridiculous that she put he life at risk. ¡°What the hell were you doing?¡± Howard stared at her with a frown, his tone reproachful. ¡°It is just a role. Why would you put your life on the line for me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not doing it for you,¡± Kisa said in a low voice. ¡°He is clearly taking revenge on me. I¡®m the one who dragged you into this. Don¡®t worry. No matter what, I won¡®t let you lose this role. ¡°She did not want to involve anyone, especially those who were kind to her. A light shed in Howard¡®s eyes, and he said carefully, ¡°You said Mr. Kooper was taking revenge on you? You and he¨C¡± ¡°Give me two days, and I will definitely get you back on this role,¡± Kisa said with determination. Even though she now looked not so pleasing to the eyes, her eyes were sparklingly bright when she spoke. Howard was startled, and then he smiled. ¡°Okay, then I will wait for you, but promise me you will only do your best and not do anything to hurt yourself again.¡± Kisa nodded and looked at him suspiciously. ¡°Why are you so nice to me?¡± Howard¡¯s eyes shed for a moment, and he spoke only after a long silence. ¡°I have a sister who looks very much like you.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Kisa was a little surprised. Howard¡®s face sank all of a sudden, and he said in a low voice, ¡°She is no longer here.¡± ¡°I¨CI¡®m so sorry.¡± Kisa hurriedly apologized and did not dare to ask any more questions. When she returned to the Kooper residence in the evening, Gilbert and Sharon sat in the living room. ¡°Kisa, you¡®re back. Come and see what I¡®ve brought you,¡± Sharon said. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 33 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Since You¡®re Begging Me, Behave Likewise Sharon greeted her warmly and pulled her toward the dining table. Two boxes of hot and spicy chicken were ced on the table. Looking at the packaging, Kisa recognized it was the same hot and spicy chicken they used to eat when they were young. She subconsciously looked at Gilbert, only to see him staring at her with icy eyes and a smirk. Kisa pulled her hand back. ¡°You guys eat. I¡®m not hungry.¡± She could not eat the hot and spicy chicken because she had a terrible stomach now, not to mention that it was Sharon who bought it, and she felt sick of her. Sharon suddenly looked disappointed and said, ¡°I remember your favorite food is this. I even went to stand in line for half an hour after work just to buy it. Are you really not going to eat some?¡± ¡°Sorry, I don¡®t like chicken right now.¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Gilbert sneered. ¡°I saw you enjoy a chicken thigh for lunch so much this noon. Apparently, food from your own sister is not as good as that of a random man.¡± Gilbert¡®s tone of voice was sarcastic to the core. Kisa was too dizzy and tired to dwell on this with him. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. She walked up to him with weak feet and spoke in a low voice, ¡°Can I talk to you in private? I have something to tell you.¡± ¡°You guys have something to talk about? Then I will go home first.¡± Sharon said. She picked up her handbag and pretended to be leaving with a despondent look. Kisa closed her eyes in exhaustion, feeling extremely disgusted. She used to think that Sharon was a simple and kind person because when she first arrived at the Case family, Sharon was the only one who treated her the best. When she was chastised by her father, it was also Sharon who secretly gave her food to eat and quilts to cover her. At that time, she felt that Sharon was the best sister in the world, and she told Sharon everything, including all her little secrets and her love for Gilbert. But now it seemed that Sharon was really a born actress. ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Gilbert suddenly called Sharon back, as Sharon had just taken two steps away. He closed the magazine in his hands and snorted at Kisa. ¡°If you have something to say, just say it here. If not, just keep it to yourself.¡± I ¡°You¡ª¡± Kisa was furious, her fingernails digging into the flesh of her palms as she tried to steady herself. Sharon was still pretending. ¡°Kisa, don¡®t quarrel because of me. I will make myself scarce if it is something I shouldn¡®t be hearing.¡± ¡°That won¡®t be necessary.¡± Kisa was tired of seeing Sharon pretend. She closed her eyes and hummed. ¡°It is not something shameful, so there is no harm in hearing about it.¡± With that, she looked at Gilbert and said slowly, ¡°Please return Howard¡®s role to him. It was me who offended you. If you have anything, youe at me.¡± ¡®It is Howard again.¡¯ Anger ran rampant in his chest. Gilbert looked at her with icy eyes while suppressing his anger. ¡°Who do you think you are to ask me to give him back his role, huh?¡± ¡°I beg you.¡± ¡°Since you¡®re begging me, behave likewise.¡± Gilbert leaned back and said indifferently, ¡°Look at your attitude. Does it look like you¡®re begging?¡± Kisa pinched her palm harder and harder as she gritted her teeth.¡°So, what exactly do you want?¡± At that moment, Sharon suddenly came over with the two boxes of hot and spicy chicken.¡± You just returned from work and must be hungry. This spicy chicken might not be as good as the chicken thigh from Howard, but at least it can fill your stomach. If you have anything to say, let¡®s talk about it after you¡®ve eaten. Don¡®t let yourself go hungry.¡± Kisa ignored her and just braced herself to stare at Gilbert Sharon saw this and could not resist going to tug her arm. ¡°Just eat some, Kisa¡ª¡± . ¡°I said no.¡± While speaking, Kisa flung Sharon¡®s hand away in annoyance. She was so weak that she was about to copse, so she could not exert much strength at all, but Sharon still fell toward the table and spilled the hot and spicy chicken all over the ce as the boxes hit the edge of the table. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 34 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 34 Chapter 34 You Think I¡®m Blind? ¡°Kisa!¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth and snorted, almost wanting to p her in the face. ¡°I didn¡®t use any strength. She fell down by herself,¡± Kisa said expressionlessly. ¡°You think I¡®m blind?¡± ¡®You are already blind,¡® Kisa said in her mind. Even if she was physically weak, she would not show it or back down. Gilbert stared at her unruly face and wished he could strangle her. Just then, Sharon put her hand to her bruised waist and said softly, ¡°Gilbert, don¡®t me Kisa. It was my fault. She obviously doesn¡®t like this hot and spicy chicken now. It was my fault that I forced it on her.¡± Sharon¡®s words reminded him of the way Kisa ate the chicken¡®s thigh at noon, and he was filled with fury. ¡®Does she like Howard so much that even the chicken¡®s thigh from that man smells extra good?¡® He took a deep breath, fought back the anger, and sneered at Kisa. ¡°Don¡®t you want me to give that role back to Howard?¡± Kisa¡®s eyes lit up, and she looked at him expectantly. ¡°With a condition,¡± he said evilly. ¡°Whatever you want, just ask. I will do anything to get that role back for him.¡± Kisa dared to make this promise because she felt she had nothing left to lose and, in a worst¨Ccase scenario, she would only lose her life. ¡°Are you really willing to do anything?¡± Gilbert said coldly, his eyes ncing at the hot and spicy chicken strewn on the floor. He snickered. ¡°Fine, then finish the hot and spicy chicken on the floor, and I will give him back that role.¡± Kisa¡®s heart skipped a beat, somewhere inside her heart throbbing with pain for a second. It turned out that even though she had been down and out, he still wanted to trample her dignity on the ground. ¡°Don¡®t eat that. It is on the floor and dirty,¡± Sharon said anxiously. ¡°No. I want her to eat the floor clean in front of me.¡± Gilbert spelled out his words in a bitter voice. Kisa stared stiffly at the hot and spicy chicken all over the floor. ¡®It is just dignity. I can give it up. But the hot and spicy chicken isden with chili peppers; my stomach will definitely turn over in pain, and it may induce a nasty disease if I eat that.¡¯ She took a deep breath with difficulty and looked at Gilbert. ¡°Could you ask for something else?¡± ¡°Who are you to bargain with me?¡± ¡°What if I say I might die if I eat this?¡± ¡°Heh, then I¡®d really like to see if you can really die for real this time.¡± Kisa let out self¨Cdeprecatingughter as she looked at the man¡®s heartless face. ¡®He has never cared about me, dead or alive. What am I still hoping for? It is ridiculous.¡® Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°Kisa, don¡®t listen to Gilbert. The things have dropped to the floor. How can you eat that?¡± Sharon suddenly said anxiously and then squatted down, wanting to clean up the hot and spicy chicken on the floor. Gilbert stared at Kisa and sneered. ¡°There is only this one chance. It is up to you whether you want to take it.¡± Kisa closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, a sh of determination shed in them. ¡°Okay, I will eat.¡± While speaking, she slowly squatted down and picked up the hot and spicy chicken on the . floor. She then looked up at him. ¡°Keep your word. After I finish eating these on the floor, you return that role to Howard.¡± Gilbert said nothing, just secretly clenching his hands and staring at her with cold eyes. ¡®You first risked her life, and now you could even give up your dignity for that man. Kisa, are you this good to every man except me?¡® ¡°Gilbert, you must keep your word,¡± Kisa emphasized again as if she was giving herst words. With that, she slowly delivered a piece of hot and spicy chicken to her lips. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 35 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 35 Chapter 35 You¡®re Really Into Him BANG! Just as Kisa took a bite, an ear¨Csplitting sound was heard as Gilbert furiously swept the dishes off the table. He stood in front of the table, looking at her coldly. ¡°You¡®re a real lowlife, Kisa.¡± Kisa ignored him as she fought back the difort in her stomach and continued to eat the hot and spicy chicken on the floor. She thought as long as she finished all the ones left on the floor, she could help Howard get that role back. With this in mind, she ate more and more rapidly, and because of that, she choked. She propped herself up on the floor again and coughed violently. Her hoarse, unpleasant coughing sound was reverberating in the living room. It sounded extraordinarily harsh to the ears. Sharon hurriedly said pretentiously, ¡°Gilbert, Kisa is coughing so hard. Could she be really sick? Forget it, Gilbert. Don¡®t let her eat this.¡± i ¡°Heh!¡± Gilbert sneered as he looked down at the woman who was prostrate and coughing violently on the floor. ¡°You should at least pretend to be begging. Do you know that this pretentious look of yours is really disgusting to the extreme?¡± Kisa¡®s heart was dead. She clenched her hands, fighting back the stinging pain in her throat. She then grabbed a hot and spicy chicken up from the floor again and shoved it into her mouth, regardless. When Gilbert saw this, he was even more irritated. He clenched his hands by his side, and after a long while, he suddenly snickered. ¡°I have suddenly changed my mind.¡°¡®. Kisa¡®s movements jerked as she suppressed her cough and asked in a hoarse voice, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Gilbert smirked as he turned around and headed upstairs. Kisa became desperate and scrambled to her feet to give chase. ¡°Gilbert, what do you mean? Say it clearly.¡± Just two steps into the chase, Sharon suddenly stopped in front of her. ¡°Congrattions, Kisa, for being back in the Kooper residence.¡± Sharon¡®s smile reeked of sinister and resentment; it seemed to Kisa that Sharon no longer bothered to pretend. Kisa sneered. ¡°That¡®s worth congratting? How badly do you want to live in the Kooper residence that makes you think this is a merry asion?¡± ¡°You¨C¡± Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°If you really want to live here, you can go talk to Gilbert. But only if you can make Andrew and Ada like you.¡± ¡°Kisa!¡± Sharon gritted her teeth and red at her. Those lustrous eyes were like they were filled with poison. Kisa did not bother to talk to her. She went around Sharon to chase Gilbert upstairs. Before this, she did not know Sharon and took her as her best sister, but not anymore. Gilbert was smoking in his study room. As soon as Kisa pushed open the door, the smoke made her cough violently again. And the few pieces of hot and spicy chicken she had just eaten were now causing havoc inside her, her stomach churning in pain. She fought back the pain. Thinking about the hot and spicy chicken on the floor just now, she was so angry she wanted to cry. ¡®We have clearly agreed that he would return Howard¡®s role to Howard as soon as I finish eating the hot and spicy chicken on the floor, but now he is backtracking on this. I even gave up my life and dignity for this. How could he y me like that?¡® The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Kisa dragged herself and stumbled toward the man. ¡°What do you mean? Have you changed your mind? Your promise doesn¡®t count, isn¡®t it?¡± ¡°Get lost.¡± Gilbert sat back in his chair and said coldly, but he did not bother to look at her. Kisa did not give up. She told herself she would not eat the pieces of hot and spicy chicken and lose her dignity for nothing. She plopped down in front of his desk and gritted her teeth. ¡°You¡®re at least a CEO, but you don¡®t keep your word.¡± ¡°So what if I don¡®t keep my word?¡± ¡°You ¡ª ¡± Kisa choked in exasperation. Gilbert stared at her coldly, the cigarette fire between his fingers flickering with choking smoke, causing Kisa to cough from time to time. He was disgusted with her coughing and hated seeing her put on such a dying face. He took a hard drag on his cigarette and puffed out rings of smoke. ¡°Get the hell out of here,¡± he growled. Ignoring her churning stomach and the suffocating feeling in her chest, Kisa mustered her courage and said stubbornly, ¡°I¡®m not going out until you give Howard his role back.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Gilbert suddenly laughed. He took a few more puffs of his cigarette and spat the smoke ring toward her. Looking at her terribly annoyed look, he said coldly, ¡°You care so much about that man. Are you really into him?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 36 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Pleasing Him Kisa was stunned, seemingly not expecting him to ask her such a question out of the blue. Looking at her dumbfounded look, Gilbert just thought she was acquiescing, and he got even more furious. ¡°Get the hell out of here.¡± Thest person he wanted to see now was this woman. He was worried that he would lose control and strangle her. Kisa felt that the reason the man got angry was strange. Besides, he had thousands of ways to get back at her. She wondered why he had to harp on the issue of Howard, who seemed irrelevant. Meanwhile, the pain in her stomach was getting more and more unbearable. She knew she could not stay long in the presence of this man; she had to solve the problem of Howard as soon as possible. So she gritted her teeth to endure the pain and frowned at the grave¨Clooking man. ¡°I know you hate me and are disgusted with me. You can do whatever you want to me. Just please give Howard back his role.¡± ¡®Howard, Howard! Heh, this woman really can¡®t stop mentioning that man.¡¯ Perhaps he was mad with anger. Gilbert suddenlyughed slyly. ¡°You really love that man, eh?¡± ¡°Fine. I can give him that role back.¡± Kisa was about to exin herself and forgot about all of it when she heard what he said. She stared at Gilbert, knowing that he would probably set another condition, which was even trickier than thest one. Gilbert stubbed out his cigarette and said slowly, ¡°Please me. If you make me happy, I will give him back that role.¡± ¡°What?¡± Kisa could not believe her ears. ¡®Isn¡®t he disgusted with me? Why would he want me to please him? Not to mention the fact that I¡®m as ugly as hell now. He must be trying to humiliate me again by making such a condition.¡® Gilbert stared at her with an indifferent smile. ¡°Aren¡®t you willing to sacrifice anything for that man? Is it so hard for you to please me now?¡± ¡°Will you keep your word?¡± She told herself that it was just humiliation, which she had suffered no less in front of him. ¡°That depends on your performance. If you perform well, my words will count; if you don¡®t perform well, it¡®s hard to say then.¡± Gilbert stared at her with cold eyes. He did not even know why he was so furious, only that he felt intense anger that was hard to dissipate and made him feel terrible. Kisa shuddered and closed her eyes. ¡°Okay, I will please you.¡± Gilbert clenched his hands at his side. He was the person who set the condition, but when he heard her agree to it, he became even more irritable and felt terrible. ¡®I should have stayed away from this goddamn woman to save myself from feeling upset.¡® Kisa put her hands on his shoulders and slowly drew close to him. As she gradually smelled his breath, her body trembled. ¡°Gilbert, keep your word. Otherwise, I won¡®t spare you even if I die. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Gilbert could not be more furious when he heard this. ¡®I just asked her to please me, not to kill herself. What the hell is she talking about? She probably wants to keep her body chaste for that man? But she forgot she is still my legal wife!¡® Just as Gilbert thought with a great deal of anger inside him, his lips were suddenly covered by a pair of dry and cracked lips. The breath smelled familiar and sweet, and it caused his anger to dissipate somewhat. Kisa backed away from him after nting a clumsy kiss on his lips. Since this man had just tricked her, she was now particrly cautious. She looked into his dark eyes and stressed again by saying, ¡°You must keep your word.¡± Gilbert growled in a low, hoarse voice. ¡°One more word of bullshit from you, and I will backtrack.¡± ¡°You!¡± Kisa¡®s eyes were red with anger. But looking at the man¡®s heartless look, she still continued to kiss him cautiously. She thought that even if this man was determined to humiliate her, there was nothing she could do. All she asked for was to get Howard¡®s role back. That was all. Gilbert allowed the woman to kiss him, his gaze gradually deepening, and he felt a touch of unspeakable impulse surging inside him. He subconsciously put his arms around her back, and his breathing became heavy. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 37 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 37 Chapter 37 I Want You Dead Suddenly, there was a ratcheting noise. The woman on top of him hastily parted her face, but a mouthful of filth still spat onto his chest. Gilbert¡®s face darkened instantly, and he shouted, ¡°Kisa!¡± He unceremoniously pushed her away, yelling in anger. ¡°Are you disgusted when I have asked you to please me? Don¡®t forget, you were the one who shamelessly climbed into my bed in the first ce.¡± ¡°No, Gilbert...¡± Kisa tried to exin herself, only to have her stomach churning, and she threw up again. Gilbert looked on coldly. In his eyes, this woman was deliberately doing this to disgust him. ¡®If she wants to keep her body for that man and doesn¡®t want to please him, just say so. Why does she want to disgust me this way?¡® He clenched his hands and gritted his teeth. ¡°You really think Ick women that I need you to please me? I¡®m telling you, I¡®m asking you to please me because I want to humiliate you. I¡®m sick to my stomach just looking at you right now.¡± At first, Kisa wanted to exin but hearing his apathetic and heartless reply, words stuck in her throat. She pressed her hand on her cramping stomach andughed sarcastically. ¡°Really? I thought Mr. Kooper was really starving for women.¡± She struggled to get up and met his cold eyes, her smiling pale looking even uglier. ¡°You are disgusted with me, just as I am also disgusted with you. We are even. From now on, stop making ridiculous requests like this, so we don¡®t have to disgust each other.¡± Gilbert looked away from her as if one more nce at her would sting his eyes. Kisa took a deep breath and fought back the excruciating pain in her stomach. ¡°What exactly do you want before you give the role back to Howard?¡± ¡°I want you dead, and I will give him back that role when you¡®re dead. Can you do that?¡± With that, Gilbert left and mmed the door shut behind him. ¡®Didn¡®t she always like to y dead? Then I will let her pretend to her heart¡®s content.¡® Still, with her hand pressing on her churning stomach, Kisaughed dementedly. ¡®Talking about heartlessness, no man can be as heartless as Gilbert. I was na?ve enough to think that he would really return the role to Howard. And he set one condition after another just to humiliate me. Pleasing him? Heck! He was so disgusted with me as if I was garbage when I touched himst time. Not to mention that I¡¯m now as ugly as hell. How could he really want me to please him then? The so¨Ccalled pleasing him is really nothing more than humiliating me. Kisa fell to the ground in pain and curled up into a ball. She was sorry that she could not fulfill the promise she had made to Howard. She realized she had overestimated her own ability and underestimated Gilbert¡®s heartlessness. The pain in her stomach was getting more intense, and her vision gradually went dark. Kisa struggled to take out a bottle of pills, but when she remembered Gilbert¡®sst sentence, she held onto the bottle without opening it. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert told her he would give Howard the role back as soon as she was dead. So she thought this time he might be serious. After all, she was the one he really wanted to get back at, not Howard. She figured that all revenge would be over as soon as she died. Kisa had wanted to live and had fought hard for her life. But to this day, she suddenly did not understand the meaning of her efforts to live. She found she had achieved nothing but dragged her friends into it. Her beloved mother and child were all gone. Her only family, her father, and the man she loved most, Gilbert, all treated her as an enemy. She did not see any reason to live. If her death could help Howard regain his role, she thought it was worth it. She clutched the pill bottle in her hand, looked out at the sky dotted with starlight outside the window, and then slowly closed her eyes. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 38 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 38 Chapter 38 I Can Cure You Everyone desires the light and is trying to chase the light in their lives. But Kisa felt she could not find any more light in her life. Suddenly, someone tall appeared not far away under the light. As if she had caught a lifeline, she desperately ran toward it. When she got closer, the person slowly turned around, and it turned out to be Gilbert. ¡°You deserve to die, Kisa.¡± Heughed coldly before thrusting a dagger viciously into her heart. ¡°You deserve to stay in the darkness of hell forever.¡± ¡°No...¡± Kisa awoke in horror, still feeling dull, seizing pain in her heart, as if everything in the dream was real. She stared nkly at the ceiling above her head and took a long pause before she realized that this was still the Kooper residence. It surprised her she was so resilient that she survived again. But in this case, Howard¡®s role would not be returned to him. ¡°You¡®re awake?¡± An icy voice sounded at the bedside, and it was familiar. She looked toward the voice with a frown and saw a gentle and handsome¨Clooking man standing by the bedside. Kisa recognized him; he was Kelvin from the Hoover family. ; All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. The Hoover family and the Kooper family were friends, and Kelvin had great attainments in medicine and became the Kooper family¡®s physician after he returned from his studies. He and Gilbert were also good buddies. When she was young, she and Kelvin were ymates, but like Gilbert, Kelvin did not like her either. They only took good care of the ¡®innocent and kind¡® Sharon and always bad¨Cmouth Kisa. In their opinion, Kisa was a person who would never feel sad and had no emotions, so they thought it did not matter, even if they hurt her. Kelvin turned around and satzily in front of the window, staring at her with a nd expression. ¡°Do you know your own health condition?¡± Kisa did not reply but struggled to sit up. Looking at her ghost¨Clike pale and bony face, Kelvin said in a light¨Chearted manner; ¡°You¡®re dying.¡± Kisa ?till did not respond, which impressed Kelvin a bit. In the past, she had to make everyone know about her minor injuries, but now she was dying and was so calm and silent. It seemed to him that not only her appearance but also her personality had changed a lot. She almost treated Kelvin like he was not there, as she got out of bed and walked outside with difficulty. Kelvin frowned and asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡± Kisa still ignored him. Seeing that she was determined to treat him like non¨Cexistent, he could not help but sneer.¡± You can¡®t wait to go tell Gilbert that you¡®re dying so he can take pity on you, can you?¡± Kisa looked down and chuckled. ¡®I don¡®t mind if Gilbert has misunderstood me, but why does Kelvin always think the worst of me? They have really grown up in the same pants. They both think alike.¡® She turned around and looked at him expressionlessly. ¡°I¡®m going to find Gilbert, but not to tell him I¡®m dying. And please don¡®t tell him about my health, either.¡± Kelvin furrowed his brow. ¡°You,¡± ¡°As you said, I¡®m dying, and in this remaining time, I just want to do something meaningful. That is all.¡± Kisa said and headed outside. Kelvin stared at her bony body as she went, a hint of bafflement shing in his upturned eyes.¡® This woman seems really different from before.¡® As Kisa walked to the door, he finally could not help but say, ¡°I can cure you.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 39 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 39 Chapter 39 He Still Hates You So Much Kisa atst, shuddered. ¡®I have seen many doctors, all of whom have given me a death sentence, but Kelvin said he could cure me? The genius of the medical world is really something. Just that...¡® She slowly turned around with little emotional fluctuation. ¡°Conditions. What are the conditions for curing me?¡± Kisa knew Kelvin hated her as much as Gilbert did, and she did not believe that this man would heal her with no conditions. Looking at the nonchnt look of the woman in front of him, Kelvin felt frustrated and bored. Her physical condition was such that an ordinary doctor would have given her an absolute death sentence. He had thought she would be thrilled when he told her he could cure her, but no. Now it seemed as if nothing could stir up this woman¡®s emotions. Kelvin looked at her with his arms akimbo. ¡°Without conditions, as long as Gilbert agrees to let me heal you, I will heal you fully.¡± Kisa listened and could not help but snicker. ¡°He wants me dead.¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. Kelvin was stunned for a moment and then said, ¡°He still hates you so much, eh?¡± Kisa did not make a sound, and he sighed. ¡°You can¡®t me him. You hurt his closest and dearest grandma. You know, it was his grandma who brought him up.¡± Kisa did not give any exnation but turned around to go out. Kelvin shook his head and said helplessly, ¡°You don¡®t have much time left, so I advise you to ask for Gilbert¡®s forgiveness.¡± ¡®Begging Gilbert¡®s forgiveness?¡® She shook her head mockingly when she thought of the way Gilbert looked at her in disgust. That would be impossible. Watching Kisa leave without looking back, Kelvin felt a bit sad as he found that she really was not like this before. Now she looked so miserable, and it made him feel a bit mncholy. ¡°George, where is Gilbert?¡± Kisa searched around the vi but did not see Gilbert. He did not pick up her call. It was almost time to make good on her promise to Howard, but she could not help him regain his role. George was pruning the flowers in the garden when he saw Kisaing out. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, are you all right?¡± ¡°I¡®m fine.¡± While Kisa spoke, Kelvin passed by, and he could not help but snicker. George instantly looked at him suspiciously. ¡°Mrs. Kooper is really fine?¡± Kelvin nced at Kisa¡®s tense expression and said absent¨Cmindedly, ¡°She is fine, just malnutrition. She needs to avoid spicy food and eat more nutritious stuff.¡± With that, he gave Kisa a meaningful look before leaving. Seeing Kelvin leave, Kisa finally breathed a sigh of relief. She did not want anyone to know about her health. Just like when she was a child, she did not want to tell anyone about her injuries, and it was always Sharon who was extra ¡°concerned¡± about her, so much so that everyone knew she was injured. At that time, Gilbert would say that she was pretentious. But God knows, she did not want him to know that she was hurt. She shook those distant memories from her mind and asked George, ¡°Where is Gilbert? Is he at the office?¡± George shook his head. ¡°Mr. Kooper has gone to Athadale on business.¡± ¡°On a business trip?¡± Kisa¡®s first reaction to knowing Gilbert was away on business was a relief because she did not have to see that man for a few days. But when she thought of Howard¡®s role, she felt a pang of guilt and urgency. When she arrived at the set, everyone was busy, but Howard was just sitting in the corner. The director had not found a suitable recement yet, and all the scenes about the second male lead had to be postponed. During the break, Kisa walked up to Howard with a guilty conscience. ¡°Sorry, I couldn¡®t get your role back.¡± Howard was not angry at all. Instead, he was like a friendly guy next door, smiling at her to reassure her. ¡°It is okay. There is always another chance.¡± Although he was saying so, Kisa still saw the sadness and despondency in his eyes. This was Howard¡®s first major role. He had been ying an insignificant role for many years, and now he had justnded on the role as the second male lead, but he lost it because of her. There was no wonder he was so despondent. But Kisa did not dare to give any other promises. Gilbert was determined not to give the role back to him, so nothing she could do would help. At this moment, Arie came running with an excited face. ¡°Ugly, hurry to my house to pack my things. The flight is at 3 pm.¡± Kisa was stunned for a moment. ¡°G¨CGo where?¡± ¡°Athadale.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 40 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Business Trip It was not until she boarded the ne that Kisa remembered why Athadale sounded so familiar. It seemed that Gilbert¡¯s business trip was to Athadale, which was quite a coincidence. But it was a good thing Athadale was so big that she would not run into Gilbert. It was Arie¡®s first time attending a brand event. She was both excited and nervous, repeatedly confirming the time and ce with her agent before leaving. ¡°Ugly, this event is very important to me. Don¡®t make any mistakes. Or I won¡®t spare you.¡± She warned Kisa as she looked into a small mirror to touch up her makeup. Kisa nodded submissively. ¡°Don¡®t worry, Arie.¡± As a nanny¨Ctype assistant, she was just taking care of Arie¡®s food, clothing, and living, so she figured nothing would go wrong, and Arie was just overly nervous. After a three¨Chour flight, the ne finally touched down at Athadale. As soon as they got off the ne, Arie tugged at Kisa and asked nervously, ¡°How does my makeup look?¡± Kisa had no words. Arie was wearing a mask and a hat that concealed her makeup. But Kisa still smiled and replied, ¡°Very good, Arie. You are the prettiest.¡± Arie looked good with a pretty face. Although not carrying herself with ease and confidence as Sharon did, she was still very conspicuous in the crowd but just did not get as much fame. When she heard a satisfactory answer, her confidence was boosted, and she walked with her head held high. Just then, two bodyguard¨Clike men approached her. ¡°Hello, are you Miss Kelley?¡± Arie hurriedly nodded and asked with a bit of excitement, ¡°You are?¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°The Mullen Group sends us to pick you up, Miss Kelley.¡± The event Arie was attending this time was a jewelry exhibition held by The Mullen Group. Since The Mullen Group sent these men, Arie figured it made sense. ¡°Now, pleasee with us to the hotel for a rest. Mr. Mullen will host a banquet to wee you at the Regina Clubhouse at eight o¡®clock in the evening. Someone wille to pick you up then.¡± Arie was too excited to speak. She just nodded her head. Kisa whispered a thank you to the men. The hotel room arranged by The Mullen Group was a top¨Cnotch luxury suite. Arie had never been treated like this in all her years of ying a bit¨Cpart actress. She had been in a state of excitement, either sitting on this soft couch or lying on that chaise longue or standing in front of the floor¨Cto¨Cceiling windows dancing and looking out at the neon lights outside. Kisa was unpacking the luggage. Arie brought a lot of clothes with her this time. It was only a three¨Cday business trip, but her luggage size looked as if she wasing for a long stay. While hanging the clothes in the closet, she asked Arie, ¡°Which outfit are you going to wear to The Regina Clubhouseter?¡± ¡°Ahh, I almost forgot I have to meet Mr. Mullen of The Mullen Groupter.¡± Arie suddenly remembered it and rushed to her closet to choose her dress. ¡°I heard that the young boss of The Mullen Group is rich and handsome, so I have to dress up well tonight. Maybe if he likes me. I won¡®t have to worry about anything in the future,¡± she said with a longing look on her face. Seeing Kisa say nothing but just hang the clothes, Arie frowned. ¡°Say something. You are like a mute all day.¡± Kisa quickly smiled and ttered her. ¡°You are so pretty. The young boss of The Mullen Group will surely be attracted.¡± Arie was ttered and broke into a smile. ¡°Of course. Don¡®t worry. When I be rich, I will not forget you, Ugly.¡± Kisa just let out a smile, thinking that Arie might have a bad temper, but she was at least easy to coax. Someone picked them up at 7:45 pm, and they arrived at The Regina Clubhouse at 8:00 pm Anthony, the young boss of The Mullen Group, had reserved the entire second floor of the clubhouse. Kisa and Arie were led to the door of thergest private room on the second floor. ¡°You two may go in now, as all the other guests are already here, just waiting for Miss Kelley.¡± As soon as she heard this, Arie got nervous and tugged at Kisa¡®s arm. ¡°Take a look at my makeup. Is it okay? Do I look good in this outfit?¡± Arie was wearing a long slim dress, outside covered with fur, hair coiled into a simple bun with a pearl headdress. She looked elegant. Of course, the premise was that she should not open her mouth. Kisa smilingly said, ¡°Arie, you don¡®t have to be nervous. Remember that you are the best looking.¡± Arie exhaled. ¡°Then why don¡®t you hurry up and push the door for me?¡± Kisa grabbed the door handle and pushed it open at once. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 41 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 41 Chapter 41 The Young Boss of The Mullen Group As the door was pushed open, a choking smell of smoke hit her nostrils, causing her to cough violently. Arie shot her a disdainful look and then scowled as she walked inside. Kisa was used to the way Arie treated her. Compared to Arie¡®s cowering, she was much calmer. She took a quick nce at the room upon entering. The room was large, with many men and women inside. The women were dressed up in : fashionable and mboyant dresses. They should all be actresses like Arie. The men, on the other hand, all looked like dudes. One of the outstanding¨Clooking men sitting in the middle,nguid with a cigarette in his mouth, was half¨Csquinting his eyes to size up Arie. He had a yful smile on his face, which was unnerving to look at. Recalling the information she had just found on the Inte, Kisa figured this guy should be Anthony Mullen, the only son of the Mullen family, a shrewd businessman and a subject of gossip. But rumor had it that he had some entricities and was vindictive, an extremely dangerous character. ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡®m Arie. I¡®m sorry that I¡®mte.¡± Arie stood in the room and awkwardly introduced herself. She thought she had been in the entertainment industry for long enough to have earned a bit of fame. But no one paid any attention to her. Those who sang continued to sing, those who drank continued to drink, and those who talked andughed continued to talk andugh. A few people were even engaged in small talk. ¡°Who is she? I have never seen her before.¡± ¡°I have never heard of her either. Not sure where she is from. Probably just some bit¨Cpart actress.¡± Arie stood awkwardly on the spot, her pretty face turning red. Seeing Arie standing there in embarrassment and about to cry, Kisa sighed and dragged her to sit in a remote corner. At that moment, Anthony suddenly spoke up. ¡°Yo, pretty, I have an empty seat here. Come sit on my side.¡± As he spoke, he unceremoniously pushed the pretty woman next to him out of the way. Arie saw this and was overjoyed. She hurriedly broke free from Kisa¡®s hand and flew over, her face even blushing with a touch of smugness, her earlier embarrassment vanishing. Kisa had no choice but to follow her and stand behind Arie in silence. At first, she did not have to come, but Arie was nervous and had to drag her along. Now, she really looked out of ce. As soon as Arie sat down, Anthony put his arm around her shoulder, his eyes ncing at her body, and he chuckled. ¡°You are the second female lead who was suddenly promoted by GK executives?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Arie said excitedly, ¡°You know about me, Mr. Mullen?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Looking at the excitement on Arie¡®s face, there was a sh of disappointment and boredom on Anthony¡®s face. ¡°It seems that Gilbert¡®s taste is just so¨Cso.¡± The sudden mention of Gilbert gave Kisa a chill. Gilbert is not here, is he?¡® she looked around in a panic but did not see the man. ¡®How could that be a coincidence? But what did Anthony mean when he said that? Why does it feel like he meant Gilbert has fallen for Arie?¡® As she was thinking, Arie suddenly threw her fur coat at her. ¡°Ugly, carry it for me.¡± Kisa subconsciously caught the coat. When she looked up, her eyes collided with Anthony¡®s dark, seductive eyes, causing her heart to skip a beat.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 42 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 42 Chapter 42 I¡®ll be There If You Get Drunk The man¡®s eyes were so sharp that Kisa panicked. She looked down and sorted out Arie¡®s coat, thinking she had better find an excuse to go outter. ¡°Oh, is this Arie¡®s assistant?¡± Anthony chuckled all of a sudden. ¡°Yes, she is my assistant. I was afraid that she would be bored at the hotel alone, so I brought her here,¡± Arie said. ¡°This assistant of yours has a really unique look.¡± A dude on the side gave a sarcasticugh as he stared at Kisa¡®s face. Arie immediately felt humiliated. ¡°If you guys think she is an eyesore, I will ask her out.¡± Kisa was eager to get out too. But Anthony suddenlyughed. ¡°No, I do think she looks quite distinctive, especially... I think she looks like someone.¡± With that, he suddenly held out his hand to Kisa. Kisa was startled and subconsciously took a step back. When Anthony saw her reaction, he found her to be interesting and saidzily, ¡°Since you¡®re here, then let¡®s sit together. Come over here!¡± As he spoke, he pushed the other woman beside him away. Kisa was panicking and did not dare to go over. Just then, Arie said, ¡°Why don¡®t you sit next to Mr. Mullen? It is a great honor for you to gain Mr. Mullen¡®s favor.¡± Kisa had no choice but to go over and sit down after hesitating for a while. As soon as she sat down, Anthony put his arm around her shoulder and smiled frivolously. ¡°Can you drink?¡± Kisa hurriedly shook her head. Drinking was akin to suicide in her current condition. She subtly shrugged her shoulders, trying to move away from the man¡®s embrace. But Anthony, as if on purpose, took her more and more into his arms. Seeing several women next to her, including Arie, all had theirN?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. faces darkened, Kisa¡®s heart started to race. ¡®As much as Anthony wants to fool around, he shouldn¡®t drag me into this.¡® ¡°How can you be an assistant if you can¡®t even drink? Not to mention how ugly you are.¡± Sure enough, someone started to target her. A woman dressed in a sultry way swirled her ss andughed sarcastically. ¡°Tsk, even the assistant that the bit¨Cpart actress hired is so unattractive. Arie¡®s face reddened with anger upon hearing that. She pushed a ss of wine up in front of Kisa. ¡°Show them you can drink.¡± Kisa¡®s face changed. ¡°Arie, I¨C I really don¡®t know how to drink.¡± There was an instant burst of contemptuousughter all around. Arie felt even more humiliated, and she red at Kisa and yelled, ¡°Drinking won¡®t kill you. Drink it now.¡± And at that point, the room fell completely silent. Almost everyone¡®s eyes were turned this way as Anthony leaned back and watched the drama unfold in front of him. Kisa rubbed her hands together, not knowing what to do. She was not going to live long, and if she drank this wine, she might not even see the sun tomorrow. ; ¡°Drink it. Drink it down.¡± ¡°Drink it down.¡± Some people heckled her, and some sneered at Arie, who was so furious that she gritted her teeth and snapped at Kisa. ¡°Drink it.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and stared soberly at the ss of wine, her mind racing, thinking about how to avoid it. Anthony nced at her, his eyes flicking back toward some shadowy corner with an evil smile on his face. He suddenly picked up the ss of wine and brought it to Kisa¡®s lips. ¡°Baby, it is just a ss of wine. Come on, drink it down. I will be there if you get drunk.¡± ¡°No, Mr. Mullen, 1¨C¡°. ¡°I will drink it.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 43 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Provocations As Kisa dodged in fear, a deep, familiar voice suddenly sounded, causing her heart to shudder. The voice sounded like Gilbert¡®s. She hurriedly looked in the voice¡®s direction and saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the dark corner. ¡®He is really in the room.¡® Not only Kisa but almost everyone else in the room was wide¨Ceyed to see Gilbert. Anthony was an exception. Gilbert was sitting silently in the shadows, so these people did not even notice his presence. Seeing Gilberte out, Anthony broke into a smile. He grabbed Kisa¡®s waist and deliberately brought her into his arms, causing her to crash into his wall of muscles, almost knocking her out. She frowned and looked up as Anthony stared at Gilbert provocatively. The way Anthony looked at Gilbert puzzled Kisa. She somehow felt that Anthony was using her to get back at Gilbert. But she doubted that. She did not think she was worthy of being used as a tool to get back at Gilbert. Just then, Gilbert hade over. She saw his frosty, knife¨Clike eyes and instantly felt wronged because he looked as if he was ming her for causing trouble. Anthony smirked at Gilbert andzily rested his feet on the coffee table. ¡°Since you came, why did you stay in that corner? If people saw this, they would think that I slighted my guest.¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°It is your home turf today, so it doesn¡®t matter where I sit,¡± Gilbert said, but his eyes were on Kisa, who was uneasy with Anthony¡®s arms around her and Gilbert¡®s eyes on her. She took the opportunity to give up her seat to Gilbert. ¡°Mr. Kooper, please take a seat here. An ugly nobody like me shouldn¡®t be here in your way. I¡®d leave.¡± Just as she finished speaking, Anthony pulled her into his arms again, and she dropped right into Anthony¡®s arms. Seeing that, Gilbert furrowed his brows subtly. Those women next to the side stared at Kisa with contempt and jealousy. Kisa hastily tried to get up, but Anthony held her tightly in his arms. ¡°What are you doing out there? I like it when you sit in my arms.¡± He then stared yfully at Gilbert. Gilbert looked calm, and he chuckled. ¡°Your tastes are getting more and more exotic after a few years¡® absence.¡± ¡°That is right. I have had enough delicacies, and I want to have some ordinary ones for a change,¡± Anthony said as he leaned close to Kisa¡®s neck and sniffed, but his eyes were fixed on Gilbert¡®s face. But Gilbert remained calm, which made Anthony rather bored and even a little annoyed. So he sneered, and his hand hovered around Kisa¡®s waist. Kisa recoiled, but the more she struggled, the tighter Anthony¡®s hold became. Gilbert took two puffs of his cigarette in silence. Under the shroud of smoke, he saw Anthony¡®s hand straying from the woman¡®s body with increasing abandon, and the woman did not even resist. ¡®Heh!¡¯ He puffed out rings of smoke and suddenly chuckled. ¡°You seem to be unable to wait now, Anthony. I remember that there are guest rooms upstairs. So why don¡®t you take this woman up there and get it done?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 44 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 44 Chapter 44 This Guy is Bonkers His words startled Anthony. ¡®Could i be wrong? This ugly woman is not the same woman back then, and she and Gilbert also have no rtionship? But if there is no rtionship, then why does Gilbert want to drink on this woman¡®s behalf? The Gilbert I know is no saint. When has he be so kind¨Chearted?¡® Taking advantage of Anthony¡®s daze, Kisa hurriedly broke away from his embrace. Her cheeks were flushed with shame and anger, lier clear eyes wet and sultry as she stared at Gilbert. But Gilbert pretended not to see her. Instead, he smiled slyly at Anthony. ¡°I can¡®t believe that you are into such an ugly woman. It is really shocking. Those who aren¡®t in the know might think you have never touched a woman before.¡± Several dudes immediately covered their mouths and snickered. A few beautiful actresses also laughed quietly at the side, looking at Kisa with contempt. Anthony¡®s face sank, a tinge of viciousness gradually appearing in his slightly narrowed eyes. Seeing that Kisa was tutted over, Arie thought that the opportunity hade and hurriedly held Anthony¡®s arm with a ttering smile. ¡°Exactly, Mr. Mullen. My assistant is so ugly. So why do you want her? Why don¡®t you look at me¨C¡°. ¡°Get lost!¡± Arie hurriedly shut up at his shouting, and the smiles on the faces of several other actresses also froze. None dared to speak. Meanwhile, Gilbert lowered his eyes with a smirk. He slowly and methodically picked up the ss of wine in front of Kisa and knocked back at once, then chuckled. ¡°You shouldn¡®t think that I¡®m also into her just because I drank this ss of wine for this ugly woman, should you?¡± Anthonyughed hideously. ¡°Of course not. You have a beauty like Sharon by your side, so this ugly woman will only spoil your appetite.¡± ¡°It is good that you know that.¡± Gilbert could not hide the disdain on his face. ¡°I don¡¯t know how an ugly woman like this can be here. She is really a buzz killer.¡± Arie hurriedly lowered her head and kept quiet. Anthony shot Kisa a sinister nce and said with a grin, ¡°Since she has spoiled your mood, I ¨C will just throw her out.¡± With that, he unceremoniously kicked Kisa to the ground. ¡°Get the hell out of here. You make us sick.¡± Kisa covered her sore waist with her hand, feeling like cursing. ¡®This guy is bonkers. One moment, he forced me to sit in his arms, and the next, he kicked me to the ground. He is bonkers.¡® Everyone else saw what Anthony did and was all stunned. Gilbert was still sipping his wine and did not spare Kisa a nce as she limped past him with a painful back. Anthony chuckled at the sight, thinking that he had gotten it wrong atst. Out of the room, Kisa could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She hunched her back, covering her painful part while walking. She sat down when she reached the corner at the end of the hallway. ¡®Anthony is really a ruthless guy. He almost broke my back. But as long as I can get out, the kick is worth it.¡® All she hoped for now was that Arie woulde out soon so that N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. she could go back to the hotel and rest early. The air in the hallway was so warm that she sat against the wall and dozed off. A momentter, she felt someoneing in her direction. Kisa half¨Copened her eyes and saw that it was Gilbert and Davian. She wondered if they were looking for her. She instantly became alert and struggled to stand up with the support of the wall. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 45 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Pretending Not To Know Me But the two men stopped about six feet away from her at the elevator. Gilbert did not even look at her as if she were a stranger with no connection to him. As the elevator door opened. Gilbert and Davian walked in without looking the other way. Kisa smirked with a stiff expression. ¡®Gilbert is superb at pretending not to know me.¡¯ She lowered her eyes and sat down again slowly by holding the wall. Not far from the door of the private lounge, an assistant whispered to Anthony, ¡°Gilbert really doesn¡®t seem to know that woman. He didn¡®t show any reaction when he saw that woman. So she might not be his ex¨Cwife, but just a bit like her.¡± ¡°Then could you exin his sudden promotion of Arie as the second female lead, and that woman was Arie¡®s assistant?¡± ¡°Coincidence, I guess.¡± Anthony stared thoughtfully at the woman huddled in a ball at the end of the hallway, his sharp eyes filled with curiosity and scheme. Out of the clubhouse, Davian asked Gilbert, ¡°Are you really going to leave Mrs. Kooper here like this?¡± ¡°She coulde here, and she definitely can go back herself.¡± Gilbert pulled open the car door and got in. Davian was worried. ¡°But Anthony is a dangerous person. I¡®m afraid that he knows her identity and will repeat it just like five years ago.¡± A few years ago, Anthony¡®s father had taken a fancy to Sara, and Anthony sent someone to abduct Sara and send her to his father. When Gilbert found out about it, he rescued Sara but offended the father and son of The Mullen Group. As Anthony was a vindictive and ruthless person, he had been targeting Gilbert since then. Five years ago, he found out that Gilbert was married to Kisa and then tried to get at Kisa. Gilbert hated Kisa, but he still protected her so well that she did not even know that Anthony was a danger. Gilbert leaned back in his chair and kneaded his brow, not saying a word for a long time. Davian saw his tired look and could not help but feel sorry. ¡°In fact, you didn¡®t have toe today if not because Mr. Kooper and Arie came here¡± ¡°Just drive.¡± ¡°What about Mrs.¡± ¡°She will not die.¡± Gilbert closed his eyes and said casually. ¡°If Anthony had wanted to get at her, he would have done it just now and wouldn¡®t have kicked her out.¡± Davian listened and pursed his lips, not saying anything again but just starting the car. The people in the private lounge wereing out in tandem. Many of them were drunk, but when they walked past Kisa, they did not forget to quench their disgust at her. Kisa did not care. She just stretched her neck and kept looking inside the room, wondering why Arie had note out after so long. After a long while, everyone in the room seemed to have left, and she then pulled the door open. She cautiously took a peek inside and saw Arie sitting on the sofa in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking. ¡°Arie, what¡®s wrong with you?¡± Just as she went over, Arie kicked at her. ¡°You ugly bitch. How dare you steal my limelight?¡± Kisa had no words for it. ¡®It was not like I did it on purpose. So why me me? Not to mention that it was something celebratory. My back was still hurt.¡® She helped Arie up and said,¡± Let¡®s go back and rest. You have to attend an event tomorrow. You have to keep in good shape.¡± ¡°Right on. Hurry up. Go back and sleep.¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. As luxurious as The Regina Clubhouse was, there was not a single cab passed by the entrance. Kisa helped Arie wait in front of the clubhouse for a long time without getting a taxi. Arie could not help but start cursing, ¡°Mr. Mullen sent someone to bring us here but didn¡®t send someone to send us back. How can we go back like this? He is a real jerk!¡® Kisa was amused. Earlier, Arie had tried to get on with Anthony, but now it seemed it was just her wishful thinking. ¡°The hotel we stay at is not far. Why don¡®t we walk back following the GSP navigation?¡± ¡°What? Are you telling me to walk back? Don¡®t you know who I am?¡± ; ¡°Then you wait here. I will go looking for a taxi.¡± Arie looked around; there was no one around, and she was a little scared, ¡°Forget it. Let¡®s walk back.¡± Kisa helped her walk as they followed the navigation. As they walked into a dark alley, Kisa could not help but frown and stop to look back. When Arie saw her grave expression, she was scared to death. ¡°W¨CWhat¡®s wrong?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 46 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Being Followed ¡°I feel like someone is following us?¡± ¡°What?¡± Arie was so scared that she hugged herself tightly and looked back nervously. ¡°Are you sure? Are you seeing it wrongly?¡± Kisa shook her head. She could not tell the feeling, only felt a whoosh of wind behind her, apanied by a not¨Cso¨Cobvious sound of footsteps. Perhaps it was all in her head, but her gut feeling told her that Anthony deliberately did not send a car for her and Arie. Seeing that there was a street with street lights not far ahead, she pulled Arie and said, ¡°Let¡®s hurry. Arie nodded and picked up her pace. ¡°Aaaah!¡± Arie screamed all of a sudden as she fell to the ground. Kisa hurriedly helped her up. ¡°What¡®s wrong?¡± ¡°It is all your fault for asking me to walk back to the hotel. Look what happens now.¡± In annoyance, Arie kicked off her high heels and kneaded her painful foot as sheined in exasperation. Kisa silently helped her up. As she bent down, she suddenly saw a few people approaching from behind. Her heart skipped a beat, and she told Arie. ¡°Quickly go. There really is someone following us.¡± Arie¡®s face turned pale, some clips of women being brutally murdered crossing her mind. She nced back andined with fearful sobs. ¡°It is all because you suggested walking back. You are getting me killed.¡± Kisa could not think of anything else to do, so she grabbed her and ran. Arie screamed as she ran, but the surrounding area was too secluded, and there was no one around. When they reached the alleyway turnoff, Arie could not run anymore and yelled at Kisa, ¡°You go and distract them! You¡®re ugly anyway, and they won¡®t do anything to you if they catch you.¡± Kisa nodded her head without a word and was prepared to split up with Arie. She felt she could not get away with Arie in tow, so they might as well split up, and the one who got away could at least go to the police. But just as she turned to run toward another fork in the alley, Arie yanked her back again. ¡°Give me your shoes,¡± Arie said. Seeing that the men were about to catch up, Kisa had no time to argue with her. She took off her shoes and gave them to Arie and then ran. The ground was cold and rough. She almost cried after stepping on small stones several times. But she did not dare stop because footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer. Kisa did not know what kind of people they were. Judging by the shapes of the silhouettes, these people did not look like street punks but hitmen or something. Anthony¡®s ruthless and scheming look came to mind, and she suspected it was who. Anthony sent these people. ¡®But why does he want to catch Arie?¡® As she was thinking, a powerful force pulled her violently into an increasingly dark and narrow alley next to her. Before she could scream, her mouth was tightly covered. She shook her head in fear and fought back desperately, but the man clutched her hands from behind and pushed her forward. Kisa was terrified, not knowing who these guys were. They did not seem to be the same group of people who had just followed them. ¡®What is going on, and who has Arie and I messed with?¡® N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Soon, the man behind her escorted her to a small ck car. Kisa was even more scared, wondering where they were taking her. She was a nobody in this unfamiliar ce. No one would even know even if she was killed. Thinking of this, she struggled even more desperately and opened her mouth to bite the hand that covered her mouth. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 47 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Why Did You Bite Me ¡°Aaaaah!¡± The man behind her screamed miserably and let go of her. Only then did she find the voice familiar. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, it is me. Why did you bite me?¡± As the voice said, she looked back at it in fear, and it turned out that it was Davian. ¡°W¨CWhy did you tie me up?¡± Kisa looked at him in puzzlement. Through the streetlight, she saw that Davian¡®s hand was bleeding. Now she felt embarrassed and guilty. She was too scared just now, so she overreacted a bit. Davian shook his bitten hand and said with a wronged look on his face, ¡°You were just being followed. Hadn¡®t I tied you up, they would have abducted you by now.¡± ¡°How did you know I was being followed?¡± Kisa looked at him in surprise. Could he have been following her?¡® Davian opened his mouth and was about to say something when Gilbert suddenly peeked out of the car window and hummed nonchntly. ¡°What is the point of all that nonsense? Get in the car.¡± Once she saw Gilbert was there, Kisa stopped saying anything. Davian hastened her when he saw she was not moving. ¡°Get in the car, Mrs. Kooper. We will be in trouble if those people catch up with us.¡± Kisa hesitated for a long while before she got into the car. Sitting next to Gilbert, she was uneasy and adjusted her body to the side until she was sitting against the car door. Gilbert gave her a sidelong nce and snorted. The atmosphere in the car was awkward. Kisa rubbed her hands together and asked Davian, ¡°By the way, you still haven¡®t told me how you know I was being followed.¡± All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Davian was driving and was about to answer when Gilbert said, ¡°We just happened to see it.¡± Davian smiled and shook his head, not making a sound. Kisa pursed her lips and then said, ¡°Oh, thank you, then.¡± ¡°No need to thank me. If not for Andrew liking you, I wouldn¡¯t bother to save you.¡± Gilbert¡®s unforgiving attitude pissed Kisa. ¡®Why did he have to make use of Andrew¡®s name to save me?¡® She took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice, ¡°You don¡®t have to stress about it. It¡®s not like I will think of something else.¡± Gilbert hissed. Davian shook his head again, wondering why these two people could not talk nicely to each other. Kisa exasperatedly rolled down the car window as she felt suffocated from sitting beside this man. Looking out the window at the unfamiliar street scene, a question suddenly came to mind. ¡°Where are we going now?¡°. ¡°The hotel,¡± Davian said. Realizing that she had just bitten Davian, Kisa felt bad for it and politely said, ¡°I¡®m staying at The Norch Hotel. Thank you for the ride.¡± She wondered if Arie had gotten back to the hotel safely. Davian suddenly said with an awkward tone of voice, ¡°Mrs. Kooper, we are not going to the hotel where you stay, but to the hotel where Mr. Kooper stays.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡®What is the point of going to the hotel where he stays? I still have to go to find Arie!¡® Seeing Kisa¡¯s reluctant expression, Gilbert snorted. ¡°Get out of the car if you don¡®t want to go.¡± Kisa gritted her teeth and shouted at Davian. ¡°Stop the car.¡± The car stopped slowly at the roadside. Kisa was about to get out when Gilbert suddenly said,¡± Those guys didn¡®t get you, and they will wait for you at the hotel where you¡®re staying. No one will stop you if you want to turn yourself over to them.¡± Kisa gripped the door handle tightly and hesitated. This man was annoying, but he had a point. Seeing that Kisa did not get out of the car, Davian started the car again. Kisa secretly calmed her anger and said squarely, ¡°Who is that group of people, and why do they want toe after Arie?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 48 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 48 Chapter 48 You Really Are a gue Gilbert sneered and said, ¡°You think they¡®re targeting Arie?¡± ¡°Heh, if not Arie, could it be me?¡± Kisa was amused. She was just Arie¡®s assistant, an ugly one at that. There was no reason those people would go to all that trouble to catch her. ¡°You can call Arie now and see if she is safe.¡± Kisa stared at him suspiciously. She hesitated. ¡®What if Arie is hiding at the moment? Wouldn¡®t I identally reveal her location by calling?¡® As if reading her mind, Gilbert said, ¡°Don¡®t worry. If Arie gets caught for this, I will save her. ¡°You said it. You¡®d better keep your word.¡± Gilbert was pissed and gave her a sidelong nce. ¡®Why doesn¡®t this woman trust me? Do I look like a man who doesn¡®t keep his word?¡® Kisa was really worried about Arie¡®s safety. With Gilbert¡®s assurance, she dialed Arie¡®s number, and it was quickly answered.

I don¡®t have the money to pay for her, anyway.¡± Kisa heard that and could not help but roll her eyes. Does Arie think those guys have caught me and are using me to demand a ransom? Tsk, she should not be an actress; she should be a screenwriter or something.¡® ¡°Arie, it¡®s me. Are you okay?¡± Kisa said, exasperated. Arie seemed relieved. ¡°They didn¡®t get you, did they?¡± ¡°No. Are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡®m alright. I¡®m back at the hotel,¡± Arie said, her tone of voice bing suspicious. ¡°It was strange that those people caught me and let me go after taking a look at me. They couldn¡®t have caught the wrong person, could they?¡± Kisa¡®s heart skipped a beat when she heard this, which meant Arie was not the target. She subconsciously looked at Gilbert, who was smirking. ¡°Hey, Ugly, could you be the target instead?¡± Arie finally got smart for once. Kisa hurriedly retorted. ¡°How could it be? I¡®m so ugly. Why would they target me? Maybe they are after the wrong person.¡± Gilbert¡®s smirk turned into a taunt. Kisa bit her lip, her mind a muddle. ¡°That is right. You are so ugly, and those guys must be blind to go after you,¡± Arie said, yawning. ¡°Okay, I¡®m going to bed. Don¡®te back tonight. Find yourself a ce to settle down and save waking me up.¡± With that, Arie hung up. Kisa clenched her phone tightly, unable to figure out why those people wanted to catch her. Thinking about everything that happened in the clubhouse, it became more and more likely that it was Anthony who sent those people. ¡®If so, then they have only one purpose, which is to provoke Gilbert. After all, Anthony used me to provoke Gilbert when we were in the private lounge.¡® Thinking of this, she looked at the man beside her with resentment. Sensing her stare, Gilbert said, ¡°Why are you looking at me like that? It is not me who wants to abduct you.¡± ¡°Heh, you really are a gue.¡± She could not think of a better description. She just felt she really had a bad day that she was being followed on her working trip. When he heard the word ¡°gue,¡± Davian could not help but chuckle. Gilbert lowered his eyes and hissed. Just then, he inadvertently saw her feet covered in bruises. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 49 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Love to Pretend in Front of Me "Where are your shoes?¡± Gilbert asked in a faint voice. ¡°I gave them to Arie," Kisa replied casually. He let out a mocking smile. ''When did this vicious woman be so kind-hearted?'' Gilbert looked out the window, finding that those feet of hers were an eyesore. Sometimeter, the car finally slowed to a stop. Kisa nced out the window. In front of her eyes was a magnificent, luxurious hotel. Gilbert had already gotten out of the car first. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. She hesitated for a long while but still followed and got out of the car atst. As much as she resented staying in the same hotel with Gilbert, there was no other option at the moment, as her documents were with her, and she could not stay in any hotel. ¡°Okay, Mr. Kooper. I will go right away." Davian hung up the phone helplessly. He turned to look at Kisa. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, you should go in. Mr. Kooper is staying on the 30th floor, Room 3008." "Aren''t you going in?¡± ¡°I have to go buy medicine.¡± When Kisa heard that, she remembered she had just bitten him. ¡°Then go quickly. You can''t let the wound in your hand get infected." Davian smiled but said nothing and started the car. Kisa stood in front of the hotel for a long time without going in. Gilbert, who was walking ahead, turned around and growled at her. ¡°If you don¡¯te in, then sleep outside. You deserve to freeze to death.¡± Kisa felt wronged. Not that she did not want to go in. It was just that the pain in her waist, caused by Anthony¡¯s kick, had caught up with her when she finally eased up. It hurt so much that she could barely straighten her back. And those feet hurt like hell with every step she took. She hunched over and nced at Gilbert, who looked at her with disgust, just like she expected it. She felt all the more aggrieved and indignant. ''If it was not for him, I would not have been kicked by Anthony, and those guys would not have followed me. I¡¯m injured and in pain. Instead offorting me, he disdains me. If it had been Sara, he would have been heartbroken and considerate enough to carry Sara in his arms.'' The more she thought about it, the more terrible she felt. Just then, Gilbert¡¯s sarcastic jeer came again. "You love to pretend in front of me, don''t you? Weren¡¯t you smart-mouthed and very much alive just now?¡± Kisa gritted her teeth and straightened her back in pain but still pretended to smile. ¡°Yes, I like to pretend in front of you. Don''t you just love women who pretend?" ''Sara and Sharon like to pretend, too, but he just likes it. Howe he is so disgusted by me then?'' "Hmph, it is just a pity that the way you pretend is so disgusting that it makes me want to ratchet.'' The man''s words became even more hurtful. Had she known it, she would rather be caught by those his maltreatment. She said nothing, just putting her hand to her waist, guys than get clenched her teeth, and walked straight inside. Because of the back pain and foot pain, ''she walked in a strange posture. Gilbert frowned at her for a long while and then took a few steps over and carried her up in his arms. It startled Kisa, who subconsciously coiled her arms around his neck. "What are you doing?" "You''re walking too slow," Gilbert grunted in disgust. He was surprised by how light this woman was-she was lighter thanst time. He wondered if she had ever eaten anything and how she could be so skinny. Kisa said nothing, nor did she protest. She just nestled obediently in his arms. Her idea was that since he wanted to carry her, then she might as well let him be. Her body hurt, anyway. The 30th floor was all luxury suites. Once inside the room, Gilbert unceremoniously threw her on the floor. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 50 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Better Safe Than Sorry Kisa''s body was already sore, and the way he threw it on the floor hurt her even more. She grimaced. Gilbert nced at her and said, "Go and take a shower. You stink of smoke and alcohol." It annoyed him that she still smelled of Anthony¡¯s perfume. Kisa was bemused at the sound of it. "I haven''t been in the room as long as you have, have I?¡± Gilbert satnguidly on the couch and looked at her with frosty eyes. "Two choices: either go take a shower or get the hell out of here.¡± She took a deep breath. ¡®Fine. I will leave. It is not like I want to see him.'' Kisa struggled to get up and out the door but hesitated at the sight of the long, dark hallway. She figured that if she went out there alone, Anthony would catch her soon enough. His only reason for catching her was to provoke Gilbert, who did not care if she lived or died, and she would probably lose her life. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡®Forget about it. What is the point of getting angry with Gilbert? Better safe than sorry. He has always been so mean to me anyway, so I could just get used to it.'' It made her feel better to think that way. She pursed her lips and turned around to go back to the room. When she did, Gilbert chuckled and puffed out rings of cigarette smoke with his handsome face full of sarcasm. Kisa tried to ignore him and silently made her way to the bathroom. She rinsed hot water over her body to relieve the pain. After doing that for a long while, she then went to the mirror to check the injury on her waist. She saw that arge patch of her slender waist had turned purple, and it hurt when she pressed it gently. She let out a sigh, pitying herself for being an innocent victim and wondering how long the bruise would take to heal. Just then, the door to the bathroom was abruptly opened from the outside. She shrieked in shock and quickly covered herself, then red at the doorway in shame and anger. "What are you doing?" Gilbert put down the clothes in his hand and said nonchntly, ¡°I called out to you, but you didn¡¯t hear me." "G-Get out." Gilbert nced at the bruise on her waist with grim eyes and then backed away. Kisa scrambled to lock the door and then turned to look at the clothes on the rack. They were all new, and the tags had not even been removed yet. She could not help but smirk, sneering in her mind at how much this man disdained the smell of alcohol and tobo on her body that he had to change out of her clothes. Worried about him bursting in again, she hurriedly put the clothes on. But just as she was spreading her blouse, something suddenly rolled out of it. Puzzled, she picked it up and found it was a bottle of ointment for bruises and injuries. ''Huh, this is the ointment he has bought for me? Would he be so kind?¡¯ Without thinking too much about it, she put some ointment on the bruise on her waist while she was getting dressed. When she came out of the bathroom, Gilbert had changed into his robe, and his hair was in a semi- dried mess. He sat silently by the window, the side of his face looking a little grim, and his aura was intimidating. Kisa wondered if something had happened and made him look so grave. But she did not dare to say or ask anything, just sat down on the couch in silence. The atmosphere in the room was dreary and depressing. Just as she thought of swapping rooms with Davian, there was a knock on the door. She thought it was Davian and rushed to open the door. "Hold on." A low bark startled her to a stiff halt. She looked at Gilbert in bafflement and saw him approaching with a tense expression. He nced through the peephole and then said to her in a low voice, ¡°Stay in your room.¡± Kisa did not dare ask any more questions when she saw his stony face, so she obediently went into the room. Gilbert then pulled the door open as he saw Kisa had closed the door behind her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 51 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Could She Be Your Wife? The door was pulled open, and Anthony appeared outside the door with a wicked smile on his face. ¡°You left so early just now. I wonder if you''re unhappy because I have not shown you enough hospitality.¡± He leaned against the door with his hands in his pockets, but his eyes looked past Gilbert into the room. Gilbert did not expose him, just calmly turning his body sideways. ¡°You came over here sote. You''re not here to apologize to me, are you?" "Of course. After all, it is not like you woulde here every day. So, as the host, I have got to receive you with warm hospitality.¡± While speaking, Anthony walked in uninvited. The word'' host'' also clearly dered that this was his territory. Gilbert sneered. When he saw Anthony''s eyes drifting around, he smiled and asked, ¡°Are you looking for someone?¡± Anthony¡¯s eyes turned to the couch, and he sat down. He then lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and said casually, ¡°No. I just want to see if you have hired any call girls. If not, I can send you a few. Sure, to make you look back on this trip." Gilbert sat on the side couch, sipping his tea, and chuckled. ¡°Thank you for your kindness. It is just that ordinary women won''t catch my eye." Anthony narrowed his eyes and smiled. ¡°That is right. After all, a beauty like Sharon is rare. Why would you look at other women when you have her? But¡­¡± He let his words hang and took a drag, then chuckled. "I remember that your ex-wife isn''t pretty by any standard. Howe she has caught your eye and be your wife?¡± Gilbert said nothing but just casually sipped his tea. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Anthony nced at him, and the corners of his lips curled up in mockery. ¡°Oh, I remember it. That woman set you up, so you had no choice but to marry her. Tsk, tsk." He suddenly shook his head with an extremely despicable look on his face. "The CEO of GK Pictures was set up by an ordinary-looking woman; I wonder if you let her set you up by design or her tactics were so good, so much so that such a character like you wasn''t even her match." Listening to his cynicism, Gilbert just chuckled with an unconcerned look. Just then, Anthony stood up and walked over to the bedroom as if he had no intention of doing so and smiled yfully. "I don''t know if you''ve noticed, but the ugly woman in the private lounge tonight looks very simr to your wife. Do you think she could be your wife?" Gilbert still looked indifferent, as if he would not be provoked, no matter what Anthony said. Anthony''s expression turned frosty all of a sudden, and he grinned. ¡°You are really heartless. The person who died a few years ago may still be alive, yet you aren¡¯t excited at all.¡± Gilbert took a sip of tea and looked at him with a smile. ¡°I loathe that woman. If she were still alive, do you think I should be excited or disappointed, eh?¡± Anthony was startled for a second. Not giving up, he sneered again. ¡°Really? In that case, then I am relieved. That ugly woman really pissed me off tonight. You know I¡¯m ruthless. Since she has pissed me off, I will not let her leave the city alive.¡± Gilbert gently looked up. "Whatever." Seeing his really unconcerned look, Anthonyughed eerily and then turned around and went to push the bedroom door open. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 52 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 52 Chapter 52 How Can I Protect Her? Gilbert squinted and clenched his teacup. Anthony unceremoniously entered the bedroom as if a visitor, checking the cab and going around to the bathroom. Gilbert was relieved when Anthony did not find the woman. He lowered his eyes andughed sarcastically. ¡°You are interesting, Anthony. Those who don''t know would think that you are here looking for your cheating girlfriend.¡± Anthony had egg on his face when he did not find Kisa. He chuckled. "I just want to see if you really did not have any call girl here.¡± Gilbert was sipping his tea casually, a stark contrast to Anthony''s impatience. He carefully gazed at Gilbert''s expression, but he could see the slightest w on his calm face. He frowned. '' Could it be that he wasn''t the person who saved the ugly woman?¡¯ As Anthony was thinking, Gilbert suddenly looked at him. ¡°It is gettingte now. I have a meeting tomorrow. If you don''t want to leave, you can stay for the night. It is just that I don''t have any women here. So I''m afraid that you won''t be used to sleeping alone at night.¡± ¡°No, no, no. You are my guest. How can I, as the host, stay in one ce with you,¡± Anthony said, pped his hands, andughed. ¡°Okay. Since you are tired, I will leave now. To make up for my poor hospitality tonight, I will treat you to dinner next time.¡± Gilbert said nothing, just smiling gently, and Anthony took another nce under the bed before leaving. Just as he left, Davian came in. ¡°Mr. Kooper, it was lucky that you had the foresight to cut the surveince for tonight and tell the receptionists what to say. Otherwise, Anthony would have known that Mrs. Kooper was with you." "How many people did he bring with him?¡± ¡°I have just secretly checked it out; there are at least two dozen thugs, and they are all still guarding the hotel," Davian said, not without anxiety. "What should we do now? This is Athadale, which is his territory. If he insists on taking Mrs. Kooper, I''m afraid that even you can''t protect her." Davian was right; if Anthony really found Kisa just now, he could have found ten thousand reasons to take Kisa away in front of Gilbert. He could not sh with him head-on, but he could start with the people around him. Gilbert frowned. "We will have to take her back to Calthon, soonest." In Calthon, Anthony would not have dared to be so tant. At best, he could only do something in the dark. But now Anthony had guessed that Kisa was still alive. If this continued, Kisa might be in danger. ''How can I protect her? It is not like I can just find an excuse to ground her in the Kooper residence like I did five years ago. Also, she doesn''t listen to me at all now.'' He could not help but feel annoyed at the thought of this. Seeing Gilbert kneading his brow with a tired look on his face, Davian said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, it iste now. You''d better rest first." Gilbert took a deep breath and walked slowly toward the bedroom. The room was empty, the LLLL ''mattress and quilt had not been touched, and there was no one in the closet or bathroom. So it was no wonder Anthony suspected little. But he saw Kisae in with his own eyes. If she was not here, he wondered where she was hiding. The curtains danced with the cool breeze blowing in through the window. Gilbert looked at the curtains and frowned. As he thought of a certain possibility, he rushed to the window at once.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 53 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Are You Crazy? "G-Gilbert." Kisa scaled the wall with difficulty, barely supported by her feet, with only eight inches of protruding edge of the wall. "Are you crazy?" Gilbert yelled, reaching out to grab her. Kisa was scared to death, breaking out in a cold sweat and shivering from the icy wind. Gilbert felt a bit relieved when he finally got hold of her cold hand. Good thing she was so light. He then lifted her in like a tattered doll. Kisa breathed a sigh of relief as soon as her feetnded, and her body fell limply to the floor. Seeing her pale face, Gilbert reached out and closed the window. "At least you are smart enough to know where to hide. But this is the 30th floor; if you make the slightest mistake, you will fall to your death.¡± Gilbert said casually, but deep down inside, he was in trepidation. He always imed that he wanted this woman to die, but at the critical moment, he still wanted this woman to live. He could not exin these contradictory thoughts. "You think I want to hide there? If it weren''t for Anthony¡¯s suddening, I would have been asleep,¡± Kisa said. When the thought of Anthony''s conversation with Gilbert came to mind, she could not help but feel angry and wronged. "What did you do to that guy? He mightn''t dare to touch you, but I¡¯m the one in trouble.¡± After hearing their conversation, she finally learned that Anthony was after her because he had found out that she was probably Gilbert''s ex -wife. ''It looks like Anthony wants to harm anyone rted to Gilbert. And the reason he doesn''t dare to touch Sharon is that Sharon is too famous. So hees after me instead. I couldn¡¯t be more hapless. Gilbert doesn''t care about me, and I have to face this danger not because of my but Gilbert¡¯s own doing.¡¯ The more Kisa thought about it, the more pissed she became. Seeing the woman on the floor in grief, Gilbert could not help but sneer. "Since you have be my wife by calction, then you should bear the consequences. You think being my wife is easy?¡± Kisaughed. If she could start over, she would not choose to marry a man like him, who was unfeeling and ungrateful, even if she was given a few hundred million dors. Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. She fought back her resentment and frowned at him. "If there are no venomous personal grudges, then you should go and make amends and apologize to Anthony.¡± She did not know Anthony well, but judging from what happened tonight, she knew Anthony would not leave her alone easily. Since Gilbert had messed with him, Anthony would leave her alone as soon as Gilbert settled the feud with Anthony. But Gilbert did not care about her, so it was impossible for him to apologize to Anthony for her. ''What should I do then? I don''t want to die for nothing in the hands of Anthony because of this man.¡¯ As expected, Gilbert snickered. "Do you think I would go and apologize to a man like that?¡± ¡°So you are just going to watch me get killed by him?" she suddenly realized how redundant and ridiculous to say that. After all, Gilbert had wanted her dead in the first ce. Thinking about it, she looked down sadly. "If it had been Sara, he would have fought to the death to protect her. After all, I''m a nobodypared to Sara in his heart.¡¯ Gilbert stared into her downcast eyes with a bit of guilt inside him. He knew Kisa had nothing to do with what happened between Anthony and him. But that slight guilt that had risen inside him evaporated when Kisa uttered her next sentence.

"The way things are going right now, I don¡¯t know if I can still get back to Calthon safely. I-If I do unfortunately die here, please give the role back to Howard.¡± If death was inevitable, then she would like to die for something worthwhile. ¡®It is Howard again. How dare she follow me to Athadale for Howard and cause all this unnecessary trouble?¡¯ Gilbert¡¯s chest heaved violently with anger and a touch of unknown emotion. He paced to the window with his arms akimbo. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. He then took a deep breath, turned around, and sneered at her. "You really don''t give up, do you?" "I will give up if you give him back his role.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Gilbertughed. "Why should I give it back to him? Do I owe him anything?¡± ¡°What does it matter if you grant me this small request when I''m now suffering from an unwarranted disaster because of you? Also, you also said that if I die, you will return his role to him." "Then let''s wait until you are dead," Gilbert said, walking over to the bed. ¡°Get out. I''m going to sleep." "You " "If you say one more word, I will throw you to Anthony. He tortures people in ways you can¡¯t think of. There is nothing he can''t do." Kisa shut up at once. Judging by the situation, she knew she could not talk about Howard with him. She put her hand to her awful feet, then got up from the floor with difficulty. She looked at the man on the bed and saw that he was sleeping under the covers, so she silently walked outside. When she got to the door, she said, "Think about what I just said; returning the role. to him is just a lift of a finger for you, but for me, it is thest wish I have before I die." She did not want to die owing something to someone. "Get out!" Gilbert was so furious that he had a headache and pulled the covers over his head, ¡®I have gone to great lengths to save her life, but she only thinks of other men. If she is so whorish, why did she go to such lengths to set me up, marry me, and even do so many bad things for this?'' The thought of his grandmother, who was still in aa, and Sara, who had not been heard from, washed away thest bit of feeling he had for that woman. ''Yes, I protect her just because of Andrew and Ada. Hadn''t the two children liked her so much, I would never have bothered with her.¡¯ The living room was large, and so was the couch. Kisa felt quitefortable lying on it, but unfortunately, there was no nket. The winter in Athadale was not as cold as in Calthon, but the nights were still freezing. She curled up on the couch and could not sleep because of that. She couldn''t help but get up to look for a nket after tossing and turning for a while. After searching around the living room, she stood outside the bedroom and hesitated, not daring to go in, not sure if Gilbert was asleep. She still pushed the door open cautiously after some hesitation-she could not sleep tonight without a nket. Kisa first opened a small gap. Seeing no movement on the bed and hearing no sound inside, she thought Gilbert should be asleep. Fearing that the light from the living room would wake him up, she darted into the room and closed the door behind her as gently as possible. She tapped on her phone screen and tiptoed toward the cab by the faint light of her phone. But after just two steps into the room, a bitter voice sounded. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 55 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Not Interested In You "Trying the same old trick of climbing into my bed again? ¡°I The voice that came abruptly startled Kisa, who almost dropped her phone on the floor. She panicked and looked toward the sound and found a flickering spot of fire at the window. Gilbert was not sleeping but smoking in the darkness of the night. Since he was not sleeping, Kisa went straight to turn on the light. As the light came on, she saw his cold and despicable handsome face. He looked like he had God''s favor; he not only was rich and powerful but also had a face that made women jealous. It was a pity that his unfeeling expression ruined the good-looking face. Gilbert exhaled a smoke ring and chuckled. "You are really desperate for Howard, eh? Unfortunately, even if you stand in front of me naked, I will not feel a thing. So, save your breath." He had just calmed his anger down earlier, and now this woman came in to piss him off again. Kisa ignored his cynicism and asked calmly, "Do you have an extra quilt?¡± Gilbert was slightly startled, seemingly not expecting her toe in and ask for a quilt. He took an annoying drag on his cigarette and grunted. ¡°No. Get out." Kisa pursed her lips and walked toward the door obediently. Gilbert stared at her from behind. Seeing her bony back and bare feet irritated him even more. He put out his cigarette and said, "Come back." Kisa subconsciously stopped and frowned at him. "What again?" "Go to bed." His cold,mand - like words startled Kisa. She looked at him with her eyes widened. Seeing Kisa standing still with a surprised look, he sneered. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I said I''m not interested in you, so I won''t touch you.¡± While speaking, he strode out of the room. As he walked past her, she subconsciously grabbed his arm, only to let go when she met his cold eyes. She hesitantly asked, "Where are you going to sleep if you give up the bed for me?¡± Gilbert sneered at her again. "Do you think I can still sleep with you here to disturb me?¡± Kisa dropped her eyes and her voice involuntarily. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. I will leave tomorrow. As for Howard''s role," Gilbert was so pissed that he took a deep breath, spun around, and left. He was afraid he could not resist the urge to strangle her if he stayed one more second. After Gilbert went out, Kisa quietly nced into the living room from the doorway and found the man sitting by the window smoking as if something was bothering him. She shrank back and closed the door behind her, theny down on the bed. It was definitely warmer under the covers than on the couch. She did not know why Gilbert was so kind as to give up the bed for her, but since he was not sleeping, she would not waste it. Kisa slept until noon the next day. The room was silent. She remained in a daze for a long while before she realized where she was and scrambled up to look for Gilbert. But there was no sign of the man in the entire suite. She went to the window again and looked carefully. The thugs around the hotelst night seemed to have left. Perhaps Anthony had been convinced that she was not with Gilbert. Thinking that Arie had to attend a brand event at 4pm, she simply washed up before getting ready to go out. This brand event was organized by The Mullen Group. It was a public event, so Anthony would not dare to do anything, even if he saw her. She paced to the door and cautiously nced through the peephole to make sure no one was outside the door, and then opened it a little. But as she poked her head out, she was shocked. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 56 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 56 SA Chapter 56 Leave Me to Die "Hah. You''re so keen to die just so that Howard would have his role back?¡± Gilbert sneered while walking toward Kisa. Just as she was about to respond, he spoke again. "Let me tell you something: even if you actually die, I still won¡¯t give him the role.¡± Hearing this, Kisa gave up on exining to him. ''He''s so awful; he never keeps his words,'' she thought. In a fit of rage, Gilbert barged over and knocked Kisa back. ¡°If you want to die, go ahead. Just stop giving me any more trouble." "I''m giving you trouble?¡± Kisa mmed the door angrily.

"If you hadn''t followed me to Athadale for Howard, we wouldn¡¯t have been spotted by Anthony. I also wouldn''t be held back right now for trying to protect you. You¡¯re a burden.¡± ¡°Me¡­ A burden?¡± Kisa was furious. "I wasn''t following you! I was spotted by Anthony because of you! What¡¯s more, I don¡¯t need your protection. Do you think I like to be in hiding? I''ll leave this very moment.¡± The frustration and anger within Kisa started to bubble up, making her tremble. Then, she stormed out without a care in the world. Behind her, Gilbert sneered coldly at her. "If you really want to die, you can just jump. Stop using Anthony to threaten me.¡± Kisaughed sardonically. "You wish for my death, right? If Anthony does catch me and threatens you with my life, you don''t need to save me - just leave me to die." "Hah! Do you think I''d care about you if it weren''t for Ada and Andrew?" Hearing this, Kisa froze. She did not know if she felt wronged or resentful, but tears started to well up in her eyes. ''I''m in this mess because of Gilbert , but he''s making it sound like I¡¯m the one causing all the problems. How ludicrous of him! Whatever I do is disgusting to him,¡¯ she thought. When Gilbert saw her teary eyes, he felt a sense of frustration pile up in his chest. He flung a shopping bag at her before setting the food he had brought for her on the table. ¡°Put these on ande eat,¡± he instructed. ''Gilbert''s always ordering me around; he''s never given me an ounce of kindness. Other than¡­ Other than the night he set me up. He probably mistook me for Sara anyway,¡¯ Kisa thought. Within the shopping bag were a pair of espadrilles and cotton socks. Just as Kisa stretched out her bruised feet and prepared to put on the shoes, Gilbert suddenly spoke. ¡°Come here!¡± Kisa paused before peering at him confusedly. ''Didn''t he ask me to put these shoes on? Why is he asking me to go over to him now? He''s so fickled- minded,'' she thought. ¡°I said,e here,¡± Gilbert said impatiently. Kisa had no choice but to walk over to him. Gilbert frowned at the sight of her bruised feet, "You didn¡¯t use the ointment I gave you?¡± Kisa shook her head. She forgot. Gilbert lifted her foot before retrieving a bottle of ointment from his pocket. "Are you parading your bruised feet in front of me to get me to pity you?¡± he sneered at her. Kisa felt irritated by his words, so she retracted her foot in annoyance. Meanwhile, Gilbert gripped her legs roughly, "Give it a rest. I won''t feel sorry for you even if you lose your feet.¡± Kisa bit down on her lip. ¡®He¡¯s the most offensive and provoking person ever. However, he doesn''t speak to Sara and Sharon this way, only me,¡¯ she thought. She felt wronged and frustrated, but she held her tears back stubbornly. Just as Gilbert finished rubbing ointment on Kisa''s legs, his phone rang. He picked up the phone, and his expression changed. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 57 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Come with Me Kisa peered at Gilbert''s face while holding her breath. She had a feeling that something had. gone wrong After Gilbert hung up the phone, Kisa could not help but ask, "What''s the matter?" Gilbert had a grim expression. "Stay here, and don''t go out." "How about you..." Gilbert made a beeline for the door, ¡°I¡¯ve got something urgent to do. I''ll be back soon." When he got to the door, he turned to Kisa once more. ¡°Remember, don¡¯t go out,¡± he said coldly. ¡°Okay¡­¡± Kisa responded. Then, Gilbert rushed out the door. Kisa stared at the shut door, wondering what caused him to be so worried. She proceeded to open the lunch box on the table. When Kisa saw the lunch box filled to the brim with steak, she could not help but frown. ''Gilbert must think I''ve never had the chance to eat steak. He brought me such a huge box of it! '' she thought. The steak looked and smelled delicious. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. However, Kisa was not able to stomach it for now. She pushed the steak aside and started eating the soup instead. Just as Kisa finished her soup, the ointment on her leg had also dried. She grabbed the espadrilles Gilbert brought her and tried them on. Not only did they fit her snugly, but they were also soft and did not agitate the wounds on her feet. Kisa stared at the pair of espadrilles. For a moment, she was in a daze. ''Gilbert had never been so considerate before and bought me items as such. This is all thanks to Ada and Andrew,'' she thought. At two in the afternoon, Kisa gave Arie a call. ¡°Hey, Arie. Something came up, so I can''t apany you to the event anymore. Sorry.¡± Kisa thought Arie would be upset. To her surprise, Arie responded coolly, "It''s a good thing that you won¡¯t be attending the event; GK Pictures assigned me an assistant at the veryst minute. It seems like they value me a lot!" Kisa frowned. ¡®Did Gilbert do that for her? Whatever,¡¯ she thought. Since this was good news to Kisa, who helped Arie did not matter to her. At the very least, Arie would not reprimand her for being unable to attend the event. Now that Gilbert had left, she was in a good mood. She ran to her room,y down on her bed, and started scrolling through her phone. "Worldwide Superstar Sharon Case Arrives at Athedale Airport, It''s Getting Hot In Here!¡± Kisa sat up with a frown. Sharon is also at Athadale? Does Gilbert''s sudden departure just now have something to do with her?¡¯ she wondered. She continued scrolling and saw a photo of Sharon surrounded by a group of bodyguards. She was wearing some shades, and her makeup was done perfectly. The white fur clothing she donned gave her an air of elegance. She scrolled down further and saw over ten thousandments. Most of thements were about Sharon and Gilbert being a match made in heaven. There were alsoments congratting the two on their uing marriage. Kisa was unaffected. She threw her phone aside and went to sleep. Later in the evening, she was awoken by loud and hurried sounds of knocking. She quickly sat up and looked at her surroundings. The knocking sounds were still ongoing. After pausing for a moment, she dashed over to the door. Kisa peered through the peephole and saw Davian. He had a troubled look on his face. She quickly opened the door in fear that something had happened. Just as Kisa opened the door, Davian barged in and locked the door. Kisa stared at him in shock, ¡°What¡¯s¡­ What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Come with me!¡± Davian said. Then, he grabbed her arm before she could respond. Kisa was frightened. She broke free from his grasp, "What''s the matter? Where''s Gilbert. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 58 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 58 Chapter 58 It''s a Trap "Something has happened to Mr. Kooper.¡± Kisa noticed the blood stain on Davian''s shoulder while he was speaking. ¡°You¡¯re hurt?¡± she asked, rmed. Davian nced at his shoulder hastily and said, "It''s just a small injury. Come with me, ma¡¯am: ¡°To¡­ To where? What happened to Gilbert?" ''Since Davian is Gilbert''s personal assistant, something terrible must have happened for him to be in so much panic. But he''s the Gilbert Kooper; who''d dare toy a finger on him?¡¯ she wondered. ¡°Let¡¯s leave the questions forter, ma¡¯am. Come with me and leave for Cathon right this instant, ¡± Davian said with worry. "How about Gilbert?" She thought of Gilbert''s warning before he left. Then, she said hesitantly, "I think I''ll wait till Gilbert gets back.¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper has already returned to Calthon." "What?" Kisa instantly felt an inexplicable sense of dreadfulness and unjust. ''If Davian didn''te to me, I would''ve been waiting for Gilbert here like an idiot,¡¯ she thought. Davian tugged Kisa toward the door, "Let''s go, ma''am." Once again, Kisa broke free from his grasp.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "Gilbert said he''d be back! What''s happened to him?" "This all happened because Anthony Mullen kidnapped Miss Case! Mr. Kooper got hurt while saying Miss Case. Thankfully, he managed to escape with Miss Case; they''re currently on the way back to Calthon.¡± Kisa let out a mocking smile. ''Hah, so it really was because of Sharon,'' she thought. She could not understand what she was feeling. ¡°Ma¡¯am, we¡¯re running out of time. The longer you stay here, the more dangerous it is for you; let¡¯s get going.¡± This time, Kisa did not break free from Davian''s grip. Instead, she let him drag her out of the room. The moment they stepped out of the hotel, they were faced with the biting wind. Kisa shivered from the cold and her mind instantly cleared. She turned to Davian with confusion, "While Athadale is Anthony''s territory, Sharon still is an international superstar with numerous bodyguards in her entourage. Even then, Anthony would dare kidnap her?" The news Davian delivered was so shocking that Kisa had forgotten about this doubtful aspect. Davian paused before replying, ¡°I¡¯m not sure myself. However, ording to my sources, I can only say that Miss Case has been kidnapped by Anthony.¡± ¡°ording to whom?" Kisa grew more suspicious. Davian nodded, ¡°My men came back with injuries. They told me that Miss Case was kidnapped by Anthony and that Mr. Kooper got hurt while rescuing her. I was also told that he requested mediate assistance." "But did you see Sharon get kidnapped with your own two eyes?" Sharon asked as the statements grew more and more peculiar. Davian shook his head, ¡°Nope. By the time I arrived, they had already started their brawl. I didn¡¯t see Mr. Kooper or Miss Case, but my subordinates told me they had left for Calthon via an alternate route. They also informed me that Mr. Kooper ordered me to take you to Calthon immediately." Hearing this, Kisa¡¯s heart grew heavier. She asked Davian nervously, "Do you think Gilbert would convey such information to you through your subordinates? You¡¯re his most trusted assistant; when faced with such a dire situation, wouldn''t Gilbert have told you directly?" "Gilbert is a careful and meticulous man. If he did go to save Sharon, wouldn''t he make arrangements to prevent any resulting ramifications?¡± she added. Davian''s heart sank, "Ma''am, you''re saying that..." "What else?! It''s a trap!¡± Kisa said as she dragged Davian back into the hotel. However, just as they turned their backs, several bodyguards emerged from the crowd and had them surrounded.

It seems like you¡¯re receiving out¨Cof¨Cthe¨Cordinary treatment from him.¡± Kisa instantly put on a sad face,¡± Mr. Mullen, you must be mistaken; I have nothing to do with Gilbert.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s nothing between you two, why did he have you hidden away? Take them away!¡± Within moments, Kisa and Davian were tied up and shoved into a van. Davian teared up. He turned to Kisa with guilt, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, ma¡¯am. You¡¯re being kidnapped because of my foolishness. When Mr. Kooper left, he specifically told me to take good care of you. I should¡¯ve thought about what my men told more thoroughly.¡± Kisa sighed, ¡°It¡¯s not your fault; you were just worried for Gilbert. Besides, who would¡¯ve thought that was a mole among your men?¡± ¡°That darn traitor! I¡¯ll skin him alive once I return,¡± Davian said through gritted teeth. Then, Kisa looked out the car window with worry. She had no idea how Anthony was going to torture her. The drive was bumpy and took over an hour. As the doors opened, Kisa and Davian were violently shoved out of the vehicle. In anger, Davian shouted, ¡°Stop being so rough! If you dare hurt the madam, Mr. Kooper will not spare you!¡± Kisa was speechless. ¡®Is Davian trying to get me killed?¡® she wondered. Davian held Kisa¡¯s chin up amusedly before turning to Davian, ¡°Madam? So she really is Gilbert¡¯s ex¨C wife?¡± Davian¡¯s face paled as he quickly shook his head. Unfortunately, it was toote. Anthony roared withughter, ¡°This time, it¡¯s Gilbert¡¯s turn to kneel and beg for my forgiveness!¡± ¡°Your n is destined to fail,¡± Kisa said calmly. She continued, ¡°Gilbert doesn¡¯t care if I die. Do you really think kidnapping me would be of much use?¡± ¡°Hah! If he doesn¡¯t care if you die or not, why did he have you hidden away?¡± Seeing that he didn¡¯t believe her, Kisa quickly thought of a n. All of a sudden, her sickly thin face showed an expression that was a mixture of bitterness and grievance. She looked horrendous. Anthony quickly retracted his hand and tutted in disgust. Kisa cried out, ¡°Take a look at my horrendous face. Do you really think that Gilbert would care for me? He hid me away because he wanted to take revenge by humiliating me. And this is all because I had set him up before.¡± ¡°Oh!¡± This piqued Anthony¡¯s interest. ¡°So you set him before?¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°Mhm. Gilbert hates my guts and wishes for my death. That¡¯s why you kidnapping me would not threaten him at all.¡± up Anthony¡¯s eyes glinted with doubt. Kisa quickly added, ¡°What¡¯s worse, I hurt his beloved grandma, so he would want to kill me himself. I suggest you let me go because kidnapping would provide no advantage to you at all.¡± Anthony chuckled, ¡°You¡¯re more ruthless than you seem.¡± Then, he stood up and pointed to a rickety old warehouse. ¡°Tie her against that pir inside,¡± he said to his men. Kisa was stunned, ¡°You¡¯re not letting me go?¡± ¡°After all the trouble I went through to kidnap you, it would be a waste not to try and use you against Gilbert.¡± Anthony had a savage look on his face. ¡°Later, I¡¯ll gouge your eyeballs out first.

Then, he peered at her amusingly, ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Gilbert¡¯s your enemy, but he¡¯s also an enemy of mine,¡± Kisa replied with a vengeful and ruthless expression. The hatred in her eyes grew stronger when she thought of her child who died in her womb. It seemed so genuine that it was hard for people to think that she was putting on an act. Anthony sat down and continued to stare at her with great interest, ¡°You¡¯re truly willing to join hands with me and take him down?¡± ¡°Of course. I hate him for sending me to jail and killing my child.¡± Anthony shook his head andughed sardonically, ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such a peculiar pair of husband and wife before.¡± ¡°We are no longer husband and wife. ¡°Ah.

Otherwise, I¡¯ll gouge out her eyeballs and send them to you as a gift.¡± ¡°She¡¯s an ungrateful wench, so torture her however you like.¡± Kisa¡¯s lips twitched when she heard his words. Even though she knew Gilbert did not care about her well¨Cbeing, hearing him say such cold hearted statements still hurt her deeply.

He truly does not care about my well¨Cbeing; he didn¡¯t even bothering here.¡± There was a ruthless glint in Anthony¡¯s eyes. Heughed icily, ¡°Even so, I still can¡¯t bear to let you go.

Me? Afraid of you? You think too highly of yourself.¡± Then, he got his subordinates to untie Kisa. Kisa flexed her wrist and said to him, ¡°Hand me the phone.

However, Davian started yelling at her distressedly, ¡°Ma¡¯am, you mustn¡¯t do anything that will harm Mr. Kooper! He¡¯s still very protective of you.¡± Anthony stood beside them with a mirthless smile and his arms crossed. Kisa quickly retorted loudly, ¡°Protective of me? Do you mean he protected me by sending me to jail? Or did he protect me by sending people to that very jail to beat me up? Or did he protect me bymitting arson to kill my unborn child and me? When did Gilbert ever protect me?¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough. Another word from you, and I¡¯ll have Mr. Mullen cut your tongue.¡± Davian instantly shut up and could only re at her sorrowfully.

She must¡¯ve been pushed to a corner.¡± Gilbert put his phone away and said to her, ¡°I¡¯ll head out for a bit. Do not follow me.¡± Sharon stopped moving as soon as she got up. As she stared at Gilbert¡¯s back, a sinister smile appeared on the corners of her lips. Anthony lit up a cigarette as he sat by Kisa¡¯s side. ¡°So, you were the one that spirited Sara away?¡± Kisa frowned at him. ¡°You know her too?¡± ¡°Hah, so much more than that.¡± Anthony took a puff as lie smiled. ¡°Back then, I made an enemy out of Gilbert because of that woman.¡± Kisa stiffened.

He struggled and rolled to Gilbert¡¯s side as he said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, this woman is in league with Anthony Mullen. Both of them are after your neck. Run, sir! Leave me be, and don¡¯t bother about Sara anymore!¡± Anthony snorted. ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, do you actually think you can escape now?¡± Gilbert¡¯s expression was calm as ever, and he was totally unfazed. ¡°What do you want?¡± Anthony took a deep puff and then tossed the cigarette onto the ground and stomped on it. ¡°I want you to go down on your knees and beg for mercy.¡± ¡°No dice.¡± Gilbert took off his windbreaker, unbuttoned his wrist cuff, and looked at the ring of bodyguards around him, ¡°So, you¡¯re coining over one by one or all together?¡± The bodyguards all turned toward Anthony. He then lifted his chin, motioning for them to all charge in together. In an instant, all of the bodyguards charged over. Kisa secretly counted. There were at least thirty bodyguards, and all of them were armed. No matter how capable Gilbert was at fighting, he would not be able to withstand an onught of thirty. She then nced at Anthony.

At this moment, Gilbert¡¯s hair was a mess, his body had cuts all over, and there were traces of blood by the corner of his lips. She lowered her gaze a little as her palm started to sweat. ¡®If this goes on, will Gilbert actually get beaten to death?¡¯ Thinking of this, she quickly looked around and caught sight of a stick with the thickness of an arm by the corner of the room. While everyone else was not looking, she took the stick and rushed into the crowd, and smashed it against Gilbert¡¯s back.

The man¡¯s facial expression turned from anger to suspicion. ¡°You¡¯re for real?¡± ¡°Of course, if you can help me obtain what I want, then I¡¯ll help you see your vengeance through with a bow tie on top.¡± Sharon took out a de and cut off the ropes binding Anthony as she said, ¡°If you agree, thene to look for me at Calthon.¡± As she said that, she sciously winked at him, ¡°Mr. Anthony, I¡¯ll be waiting.¡± Anthony¡¯s blood-red eyes stared at her back as a sinister smile slowly appeared on his face. On the helicopter¨C Kisa¡¯s eyes were closed when someone suddenly nudged her arm. She opened her eyes and saw Davian holding a tray of food and water before her. She could not help but frown as she asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Davian pushed the tray to her and said, ¡°Send this to Mr. Kooper.¡± ¡°Why me?¡± Kisa was puzzled. She did not want to approach that iceberg of a man, and when that man was seated in the front, she would sit at the far back. ¡°This is such a rare moment of peace. I¡¯m not going.¡¯ She looked at Davian and said, ¡°Just send it over yourself. It¡¯s just a few steps more.¡± Davian sighed and said, ¡°Ma¡¯am. I¡¯m trying to help you here.¡± Kisa was consused, ¡°Help me?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve found the traitors among us, four of them.¡± Kisa did not say anything, so Davian continued, ¡°Mr. Kooper has given the order to cut off their tongues, blind them and also break their limbs, and they¡¯ll be sent to a remote area as begyars.¡± When Kisa heard that, cold sweat started appearing on her back. She knew how brutal Gilbert was, but she did not expect him to be so ruthless. Seeing her pale face, Davian quickly added, ¡°Although you¡¯ve screwed over Mr. Kooper to save yourself, there¡¯s still time if you go apologize to him now. Talk him up, and I believe Mr. Kooper will not take this to heart.¡± ¡®Not take this to heart?¡¯ Kisa sneered. ¡®What Gilbert held the most was grudges.¡¯ Davian sighed and put the tray into her hand, ¡°Go on, Ma¡¯am.¡± At this moment, the doctor had only just finished bandaging Gilbert¡¯s wound and was walking out. Kisa immediately stopped the doctor and whispered, ¡°Is he okay?¡± The doctor only shook his head and said sternly, ¡°His wound is deep, so he needs to rest for a while. Also, the wound cannot be exposed to infection, or it¡¯ll be very troublesome.¡± When Kisa heard that, she felt a chill running down her spine.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. ¡®Gilbert will definitely take revenge on me! Davian could see that she was afraid and quickly added, ¡°Ma¡¯am, quickly send this over and butter Mr. Kooper up. I believe he will not deal with you as he did with those traitors.¡± Thinking of what happened to the traitors, Kisa shuddered. She looked at Davian and then cautiously walked toward Gilbert with the tray in hand. Gilbert, at this moment, was closing his eyes to rest. His upper body was bare with thick gauze wrapped around his chest, and the gauze was slightly stained with blood. She nervously bit her lips as she put the tray down on the table and then looked at the man beside her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 66 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 66 Chapter 66 That¡¯s the kind of Person I Am ¡°Are you okay?¡± The only thing Kisa managed to say was insincere words of concern. Gilbert did not respond, as if he was really asleep. She stared at his pale face for a long time before she got up to return to her seat because sitting beside this man made her feel awkward. But just as she got to her feet, Gilbert tugged at her and stared at her. ¡°I remember I warned you to stay in your room and not to go out, no matter what. Why didn¡¯t you listen?¡± The man¡¯s tone was bitter and harsh, with a hefty dose of reproach. Kisa was just about to exin when he sneered. ¡°You wanted to get me killed, so you deliberately ran out and let Antliony catch you, right?¡± Kisa could not stand to hear such a sarcastic tone from him. She had been abducted because of him, and now she had toe and please him when she had managed to escape. It really exasperated her. When she heard what he said, she just could not care less but snapped. ¡°Yeah, right. You sent me to jail five years ago and caused me to lose the baby in my womb, so I wish you were dead.¡± Gilbert narrowed his eyes and stared at her. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you just kill me with the knife instead of holding Anthony hostage?¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat at his question. ¡®Yeah. It was the perfect opportunity to kill him for revenge just now. Yet the funny thing is, I have no intention of taking his life from the beginning. Am I too soft-hearted, or is it because I still have slight feelings for him?¡¯ Seeing that Kisa did not respond, Gilbert leaned closer to her. ¡°Tell me, why did you suddenly turn against him at thest minute? Wouldn¡¯t it be better to get rid of me?¡± His hot breath blowing into her face caused her heart to beat out of rhythm. Not far away, Davian desperately gestured at Kisa, signaling her to say something nice to Gilbert. She got the message and knew that if she said something to please Gilbert, he would forgive her for stabbing him. But the hatred between them was so deep that she could not bring herself to pretend to please him. Gilbert got closer, his hawk-like eyes seemingly piercing into her. ¡°Tell me, why didn¡¯t you just kill me then? Did you have other ns and schemes?¡± ¡®Other ns and schemes? Heh, he forever sees me as a scheming person.¡¯ Kisa looked into his sharp and icy eyes andughed. ¡°Don¡¯t I have to go to jail for killing you? Won¡¯t the people under your command take revenge? I wanted to kill you through Anthony, but he was too tirnid to take your life. In that case, I had no choice but to side with you. At least for the sake of Andrew and Ada, you will do nothing to me, will you?¡± Davian heard what Kisa said and put his hand to his forehead, not knowing what to say. Gilbert sped her ar?n so hard that he wished he could snap it. ¡°You are really a calcting, evil woman.¡± ¡°That¡¯s the kind of person I am. It is not the first day you know me.¡± ¡°Get the hell out of my sight,¡± Gilbert flung her arm away in disgust. Agitated, his chest bled again. Davian hurriedly ran over to exin. ¡°Mr. Kooper, actually, it has nothing to do with Mrs. Kooper this time. It was me¨C¡± ¡°I left the room on purpose. Why should i bear the consequences of your fight with Anthony for Sara? Why should I be Sara¡¯s scapegoat? And why did you lock me in the room to save Sharon?¡± Kisa struggled to get up from the floor and looked Gilbert in the eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t care which woman you want to be nice to, but please leave me out of it.¡± Gilbert¡¯s chest was heaving violently, clearly on the verge of rage. Kisa continued as if she did not see the rage in his eyes. ¡°I stabbed you, but I don¡¯t regret it. This time, it was you who got me into trouble. If I didn¡¯t save myself, I would have been the one who died. Can I still expect you to save me? Don¡¯t forget how you told Anthony on the phone-¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°If you say one more word, I will have you thrown out of here.¡± Gilbert interrupted her grimly, his suppressed voice filled with an obscure, murderous aura. Davian was anxious, and just as he pulled Kisa back, Gilbert swept the tes off the table with one hand and sneered. ¡°People like you are not worth saving.¡± ¡°Is that so? That¡¯s why I have never had any illusions about you,¡± Kisa said harshly. C Davian looked at the two and could only sigh silently. It was a short three-hour flight, but the atmosphere in the cabin was so depressing that it was almost suffocating. The helicopter finally touched down, and Davian hurriedly got off. Just as he helped Gilbert and Kisa out of the helicopter, someone familiar came. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 67 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 67 Chapter 67 If That woman is Dying ¡°Hey, howe when you get involved with someone, it always ends with a disaster?¡± Kelvin nced at Gilbert¡¯s bloodstained chest, then looked at Kisa meaningfully. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Kisa stood by with her eyes downcast, her face expressionless. She knew the ¡®someone¡¯ Kelvin mentioned was her. But she did not care, as Kelvin did not like her, anyway. Gilbert was depressed and walked straight into the house without a word. Kisa followed in silence. Kelvin stared in wonder as the two went and then asked Davian, ¡°What¡¯s going on with them?¡± Davian sighed helplessly. ¡°People say that two stubborn people are not suitable together; this is so true,¡± Kelvin was none the wiser. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Ask Mr. Kooper. It¡¯s been a tiring trip.¡± With that, Davian drove off in his car. In the bedroom¨C Kelvin marveled as he tended to Gilbert¡¯s wound. ¡°This is a deep wound. If it was just a bit off, I would have to visit you at your grave this time next year.¡± Gilbert still said not a word, his expression tense, looking bitter and serious with his lips curving down. Kelvin shot a nce at him and mustered his courage. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that she is so ruthless. It seems that she really wants you dead.¡± Gilbert buttoned up his shirt with annoyance. ¡°Get out of here when you¡¯re done with the wound. You¡¯re so verbose.¡± Kelvin pouted. ¡°Look how irate you are. You are not really getting attached to that woman, are you?¡± ¡°Do you think that is possible?¡± Gilbert said with disgust. ¡°She hurt Grandma. As long as Grandma hasn¡¯te out of hera, Kisa deserves to die.¡± ¡°And what if she wasn¡¯t the person who hurt Mrs. Kooper Sr.? Would you still like her?¡± Kelvin stared at him with a serious face, interested in his answer. A skinny figure stood silently outside the door, the hand holding the tray tightening quietly out of nervousness. Gilbert looked away awkwardly. ¡°Do you think I would like a woman with a selfish, scorpion like heart?¡± ¡°Look at your hatred. Since you loathe her so much, and she hurt you so badly this time, why are you still keeping her alive?¡± ¡°I kept her alive because I wanted her to suffer more to atone for her sins.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Kelvin suddenly thought of something and looked at Gilbert in a predicament, ¡°if that woman is dying and I can heal her, do you think I should save her or not?¡± Gilbert frowned. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just saying what if.¡± Kelvin smiled. ¡°There is no what if. Even if there was, she deserved it.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Kelvin looked at him with a faint smile. ¡°It seems that I misunderstood something.¡± Outside the door, tears dropped like a broken bead into the white porridge. Kisa tilted her head to hold back the tears and smiled self-soothingly. She told herself that it was not the first day she had heard these hurtful words, so there was nothing to be said about it. But a part of her heart still ached involuntarily, and her internal organs also followed suit. She quietly ced the tray at the door and then quietly walked back to her room. Now, intense emotional fluctuations brought awful difort to her body, which could not hold up for long. She shut herself in her room and hurriedly rummaged through the drawer for the medication bottle. Just as she poured two pills out of the bottle, someone pushed the door of the room open. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 68 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 68 Chapter 68 I Don¡¯t Need Your Sympathy. It was Andrew. ¡°Ma¡¯am, you¡¯re finally back.¡± Andrew ran in excitedly and hugged her leg. He furrowed his little brows when he saw the bottle of medication in her hand. ¡°Are you sick?¡± Kisa stroked his head. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Just a minor one.¡± Andrew shook his head, extraordinarily anxious. ¡°George always says that a minor illness can grow into a big one. I have got to tell Daddy.¡± He ran out at once, so quickly that Kisa could not stop him. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. She forced a smile, knowing that even if he told Gilbert about her condition, it would not make a difference. He would just think she was pretending, trying to earn sympathy. Andrew had just left when Kelvin came in. He had his arms around his chest, and his tone was stern. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you just be a little more ruthless and kill Gilbert?¡± She snickered as she knew he was using her of stabbing Gilbert. ¡°Had I killed him, you guys would still have cut me to pieces.¡± She then ignored him and swallowed the pills in her hand. Kelvin nced at the pill bottle in her hand and said in a light-hearted manner, ¡°Those painkillers are only aggravating your condition. If you really want to live, ask for Gilbert¡¯s forgiveness. If he forgives you, I will cure you immediately.¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t need your sympathy.¡± Kisa felt terrible now that she did not want to talk to anyone but just get a good night¡¯s sleep. Kelvin looked at her indifferent face and sneered. ¡°You are really stubborn. I wonder if you will still be as stubborn when you take yourst breath.¡± Kisa just wanted tough at his words. Am I really the one who is stubborn? Who wouldn¡¯t want to live a good life? But Gilbert simply wouldn¡¯t give me that chance. I have just heard outside the door that even if Gilbert really knows I¡¯m dying, he won¡¯t let Kelvin treat me. So why should I grovel and beg for his sympathy?¡¯ As she was thinking so, Gilbert barged in. He was in a rage. He did not even care about the wound in his chest as he yelled at her, ¡°You really have no shame, have you? I knew you were pretending to be sick in front of me, but never had I expected that you would do that in front of Andrew. He has just gotten better; why do you have to make him worry about you? So you think that if you tell me through his mouth, I will really believe that you are sick? Let me tell you; even if you pull the same trick a thousand times, I will still not believe it. Instead, you will only make me sick.¡± Kelvin opened his mouth and was about to say something when Kisa sneered. ¡°So what if I let him worry about me? He is your child with another woman. If my child was still alive, he would be worried about me, too. Andrew is just doing what he should do instead of my child.¡± ¡°You -¡°Gilbert raised his hand in anger. Kisa stared him in the face. Her body was in pain, but she did not show it. Atst, Gilbert came down with his hand, but it just knocked the medication bottle out of her hand instead of pping her in the face. ¡°Since you are so fond of pretending to be sick, then I wish you the best of luck and get very sick soon.¡± With that, he left in anger. Kelvin stared in shock at the pills scattered in the corner and said nothing. Kisa looked at him and chuckled, ¡°Do you think I still need to beg for his forgiveness?¡± Kelvin still said nothing, just shaking his head and heading outside. Just then, Kisa suddenly called out to him. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 69 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 69 Chapter 69 One Year At Most ¡°Please tell me honestly how much time I still have.¡± Thinking about the scene just now, Kelvin had a hard-to-describe feeling inside him. He thought for a long while before answering, ¡°One year at most.¡± N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. ¡®One year?¡¯ Kisaughed and sell on the bed with tears in her eyes. ¡®What could I do in a year? Would it be enough to find out who hurt Grandma, or would it be enough to avenge the prison sentence and the murder of my son? I could not even get Howard¡¯s role back, let alone these two things. At this moment, she found herself unable to do anything but wait for her final moment. She curled up in bed, letting the pain of her illness torment her tattered body. She thought of her mother, the days when she and her mother depended on each other. They were poor at the time, but she had the world¡¯s warmest love of her mother. Unlike now, she was all alone, dragging her sick body to suffer the cold of the world. How she wished she could turn back the time. The scene of her mother¡¯s death was still vivid in her mind, and her mother¡¯sst words were clearly ringing in her ears. ¡°If you meet a man named Gilbert Kooper in your lifetime, you must love him and guard him with your life.¡± She never understood what her mother meant by thesest words. Only muchter did she understand that her mother was asking her to atone for her sins. But before her sins were atoned for, she was already wounded in love. Two dayster, snow fell from the sky. Taking advantage of the fact that Arie had not yet returned, Kisa decided to visit Madalyn, Gilbert¡¯s grandmother, who treated her the best in the world besides her mother. She just wanted to see the kinddy before she died. Gilbert put his grandmother in a vi at the foot of the mountain and hired many servants so that his grandmother could recuperate in a quiet environment. He went to spend time with her almost every day, sometimes bringing Andrew and Ada with him. Kelvin also often went to check on Madalyn¡¯s health. Kisa got Madalyn¡¯s address through Andrew. But when she arrived at the entrance of the vi, the bodyguards would not let her in. ¡°We are sorry,dy. No one except for George, Dr. Hoover, and Miss Case may enter. Unless with Mr. Kooper¡¯s permission.¡± ¡®Miss Case? Sharon? Heh! It seems that Sharon has a ce in the heart of that man.¡¯ But thinking about Sharon¡¯s malicious look, she suddenly doubted what had happened back then.¡¯ If Sara didn¡¯t go into hiding on purpose, and she didn¡¯t hurt Mrs. Kooper Sr., then Sharon would be the biggest suspect. After all, Sharon was the one who benefited the most from getting rid of her and Sara, wasn¡¯t she?¡¯ But these were only her guesses. If you wanted to find out the truth, she still had to collect concrete evidence. With the thought of her only having a year left to live, she became despondent. ¡°Even I can¡¯t go in?¡± Andrew said, looking displeased. One bodyguard hurriedly said respectfully, ¡°Of course you can go in, but not thisdy.¡± ¡°She is my aunt, my father¡¯s best friend. She is apanying me to see my great grandmother today.¡± ¡°But Mr. Kooper said that if there is no order from him ¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care. I¡¯m just going to take her in today, and I will take the me if anything happens. ¡°Good thing Andrew came with her. At Andrew¡¯s insistence, the bodyguards finally opened the door and let them in. Andrew led Kisa to a room on the second floor. ¡°Ma¡¯am, my great-grandmother is inside. Go ahead and see her.¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t wander off. I will see your great-grandmother for just a while and take you back.¡± ¡°Okay. I will just y in the garden.¡± After Andrew went downstairs, Kisa stood outside the room for a moment before pushing the door open. As she walked in, she saw the skinnydy lying on the bed with tubes all over her body. Tears immediately fell down her face. Madalyn was such a kind and elegant person, but now she was bedridden, and that saddened Kisa. She slowly walked to the bedside, covering her mouth and holding back her tears. ¡°She did not scheme against my grandson. She is my grandson¡¯s fianc¨¦e. They are in love. If you denigrate my grandson¡¯s wife again, I will not tolerate it again.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you worry, Kisa. If Gilbert doesn¡¯t treat you well, I will spank him myself.¡± ¡°You must take good care of yourself, Kisa. I can¡¯t wait to have a great-grandson.¡± All the good Madalyn had shown her came back to her, making her sob uncontrobly. She gripped Madalyn¡¯s hand and called out, ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., wake up. It is me, Kisa. Can you open your eyes and look at me?¡± She cried and crouched beside the bed. ¡°Wake up. Wake up and tell me what happened that day. What did you want to ask me?¡± But as soon as Kisa¡¯s cries subsided, the instrument next to her suddenly buzzed with a nerve-racking sound. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 70 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Why Don¡¯t You Just Die? Kisa was startled and looked at the bedside instruments in a panic. The electrocardiogram was shing a red rm light. As the nerve-racking rm sounded, doctors and nurses rushed at once. Kisa was so anxious that her face turned pale. She asked a doctor, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Mrs. kooper Sr.?¡± Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Suddenly, a powerful force grabbed her by the wrist. When she looked up, her eyes met Gilbert¡¯s icy, resentful gaze. She did not even know when Gilbert hade over. ¡°Kelvin, save my grandmother.¡± With that, Gilbert yanked kisa out of the room and dumped her unceremoniously onto the snow. He hated her to the core. ¡°Why won¡¯t you leave her alone after what Grandma has be?¡± ¡°I did not. I did nothing to your grandmother.¡± ¡°Grandma¡¯s condition has always been stable. If you hadn¡¯t done something to her, how would the instrument have sounded its rm?¡± His furious roar left her speechless. Kisa shook her head helplessly, as she had done five years ago, unable to defend herself. ¡°Kisa, why don¡¯t you just die?¡± Gilbert grabbed her by the cor, causing her face to turn red. Looking at her ugly red face, he wished he could cut her to pieces. ¡°I told you before that Grandma will not wake up. Are you still afraid that she will wake up and expose you? You even went so far to make use of Andrew. What else do you know besides using a child?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡± Kisa spoke with difficulty but firmly. But no matter how vehemently she denied and argued, it was still useless. After today¡¯s incident, the man would be even more convinced that she was the one who hurt his grandmother. Seeing his extreme hatred toward her, she suddenly burst outughing. ¡°Why don¡¯t you ever look into it carefully? Grandma treated me so well. What motive did I have to hurt her?¡± ¡°Because you are heartless. You are vicious. You are sinister and vicious to the core.¡± With that, he threw her to the ground forcefully. ¡°You¡¯d better pray Grandma survives, or I will make sure you die along with her. I mean it this time.¡± Kisa fell hard on the snow, her body shaking violently from the cough. And because of the coughing and the icy wind, her internal organs hurt so much that they felt like exploding. She curled up in pain and looked at the man¡¯s back, wanting tough, but her rolling tears kept falling down. ¡®I did not hurt Grandma. Why does everyone refuse to believe me? Why?¡¯ In the room, Madalyn¡¯s condition liad finally stabilized, and all the medical instruments were showing normal. Gilbert stared at the skinnydy on the bed, his heart filled with sadness. Kelvin put away the stethoscope and said to him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Mrs. Kooper Sr. is fine.¡± ¡°What just happened?¡± As his grandmother had never been in such a situation before, he thought it must be the wicked woman who did it. Kelvin looked at his hate-filled face and sighed. ¡°I think you probably misunderstood that woman this time.¡± Gilbert frowned at him. Kelvin said. ¡°I checked. There are no injuries on Mrs. Kooper Sr., and the instruments are all functioning normally. So she has done nothing to Mrs. Kooper Sr. just now.¡± ¡°Then how did the instrument sound the rm?¡± ¡°Maybe Mrs. Kooper Sr. reacted to that woman¡¯s voice, or maybe the instrument malfunctioned.¡± Gilbert said nothing, his expression tense. Kelvin remembered he had just seen Gilbert drag Kisa outside, and he could not help but ask,¡± By the way, where did you bring that woman to just now? I think you can let her stay with Mrs. Kooper Sr. more. If Mrs. Kooper Sr. really reacts to her voice, then she might wake her up.¡± ¡°Even if she did nothing to Grandma this time, it doesn¡¯t mean that she didn¡¯t injure her. If she knew there was a chance that Grandma would wake up, she might kill her right away.¡± Gilbert only said this with a frosty face after a long moment of silence. Kelvin listened and shook his head. ¡°Alright. I¡¯m not going to say anything good for that woman, either. You can think what you like, as long as you don¡¯t me meter on.¡± Gilbert snorted. Just then, Andrew rushed in. ¡°Daddy, where¡¯s Ma¡¯am? Where did you take her to? Why is there so much blood on the snow outside the door? Where is Ma¡¯am?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 71 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Is This Blood Real? Why is there so much blood on the snow outside the door?¡¯ Gilbert was shocked and rushed out with no hesitation. Outside the door, the woman was nowhere to be seen, just arge puddle of shockingly gross blood on the snow. Kelvin and Andrew had alsoe running out after him. Andrew tugged at Gilbert¡¯s coat and asked anxiously, ¡°Daddy, where did Ma¡¯am go? Is this blood really Ma¡¯am¡¯s?¡± ¡°No.¡± Gilbert replied patiently. But Andrew was apparently not convinced. ¡°If it¡¯s not Ma¡¯am¡¯s, then whose is it? I just saw you dragging her out, Daddy. What did you do to her? I want Ma¡¯am.¡± He started to cry. ¡°That is enough.¡± Gilbert bellowed, but his eyes were on the puddle of blood. When he saw Gilbert¡¯s bad mood, Kelvin hurriedly took Andrew, who was on the verge of tears, over to him and said in a gentle voice, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Your ma¡¯am will be fine.¡± With that, he asked the maid to take him inside. ¡°Kelvin, do you think the blood is real?¡± Gilbert asked in a sudden murmur as he stared at the blood after Andrew had entered the house. Kelvin sighed with his hands digging into his pockets. ¡°You might as well just ask me if the blood was that woman¡¯s.¡± Gilbert suddenly became silent. Kelvin looked at him helplessly. ¡°Do you really not believe that woman is dying, or do you not want to believe it and would rather lie to yourself?¡± ¡°Is she really dying?¡± Gilbert suddenly looked at him, his dark eyes looking frightening, But Kelvin did not know how to answer that question. After all, he had promised Kisa that he would not tell Gilbert about her condition. After thinking about it for a moment, he simply waved his hand. ¡°How would I know? It is not like I have examined her.¡± As Kelvin finished speaking, Gilbert suddenly and inexplicably smiled again and said to himself, ¡°I guess this is just another one of her tricks to gain sympathy. How could she get up and leave if she had really vomited so much blood? She always likes that, using tricks to gain sympathy when she does something wrong.¡± Kelvin looked at him with a thoughtful expression. For some reason, he somehow felt pity for Gilbert. Ever since Kisa had left a puddle of blood on the snow, it was as if she had vanished-Gilbert called her phone many times, but there was no answer. By nightfall, the men who had been sent out to look for her had returned, but there was no sign of Kisa. He even sent out a search of all the hospital admissions in Calthon, but still nothing. He swept the papers off his desk in a sury and sneered. ¡°Heh, every time she does something wrong, she wants to get away with it. Does she really think she can get away with it?¡± Seeing his heaving chest bleed again, Davian said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, don¡¯t be angry. Be careful of your wound.¡± Gilbert took a deep breath and said, ¡°Keep looking. ¡°Aye.¡± Davian carefully left. Just as he left the room and bumped into Kelvin, he startedining ¡°Mr. Kooper looks so terrified like he is going to kill someone. How can Mrs. Kooper not go into hiding?¡± Kelvin nced into the study room and saw Gilbert leaning back in his chair, smoking. Shrouded in the smoke was a face that could not be graver. He shook his head helplessly and said, ¡°Perhaps Gilbert didn¡¯t even realize that he was so desperate to find the woman, but only to confirm that she was still alive.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Davian was none the wiser. Kelvin tugged at him impatiently. ¡°Come on. Leave him alone. Let¡¯s go for a drink.¡± The following day, noon¨C George pushed open the door to his study room and almost choked on the smell of smoke. He saw Gilbert lean back in his chair with his eyes closed and the ashtray on his desk littered with cigarette butts. George said cautiously, ¡°Robert, the director for Goddess of My Adoration, is here and says he wants to see you about something important.¡± ¡°Send him in.¡± As his voice trailed off, Robert Russell, a slightly chubby middle-aged man, cautiously walked in. ¡°Mr. Kooper, it is still about the second male lead. I just can¡¯t find a suitable recement for the role.¡± ¡°Suit yourself.¡± Gilbert opened his eyes slowly, his cold, cavernous eyes frightening Robert. Robert rubbed his hands together and said with a smile. ¡°Then I will stick with Howard then.¡± Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Whatever.¡± Robert had not expected Gilbert to be so amodating and, thinking about the news this morning, he said tteringly, ¡°Mr. Kooper, you were smart enough to guess that by casting Howard as the second male, the breaking news this morning would give us free publicity for the drama.¡± Gilbert frowned. ¡°What news?¡± Robert was surprised. ¡°Don¡¯t you know about it, Mr. Kooper?¡± With that, he hurriedly took a newspaper out of his coat pocket and handed it to Gilbert respectfully. Gilbert¡¯s face sank as he read the headlines. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 72 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Breaking News (A woman resembling the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO has an affair with an actor) The headline caught his eye, which reddened with a murderous look inside. Below the headline was several pictures, the first few of which showed the snowy ground outside the vi as the background, and in the picture, a young man, ostensibly Howard, was carrying Kisa in his arms. Thest picture was aparison of two photos: Kisa¡¯s current state versus her look from five years ago. The two photos had been deliberately zoomed in, and those two pairs of eyebrows looked almost identical. Seeing the article in front of him, Gilbert tore up the paper, his handsome face grave. ¡°Davian! ¡°he called out. Davian came rushing in, looking a little groggy, obviously having just woken up. Gilbert red at him. ¡°I¡¯m surprised you didn¡¯t deal with it first when news like this came out. 11 Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. Davian looked at the scraps of newspaper on the floor, his face turning pale with anxiety. ¡°I-I have just found out about it, too.¡± He med it on Kelvin in his mind, as Kelvin brought him to drinkst night, causing him to oversleep. ¡®Drinking really can ruin things,¡± he thought to himself. ¡°I-I¡¯m going to get someone putting a lid on it now.¡± He tried to remedy the situation. ¡°It¡¯s toote.¡± Gilbert snapped coldly. Looking at the two men¡¯s unusual expressions, Robert was rmed, and he asked cautiously,¡± Mr. Kooper, what is wrong? Isn¡¯t this news a good thing for us? It gives the drama a good deal of hype, and it is free.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Gilbert¡¯s icy re sent a chill up Robert¡¯s spin. He suddenly remembered something and said,¡± Mr. Kooper, you mind that this woman looks like yourte wife?¡± Gilbert said nothing this time, his face horribly grave. Seeing this, Robert could confirm his suspicion. ¡°You don¡¯t mind, as everyone knows this woman is not your wife. How can she be your wife when she is so ugly and, at most has a slight resemnce to your wife? The media are deliberately using this headline to get attention, so you can let it be. The more buzz it gets, the more publicity the drama will gain.¡± As Gilbert¡¯s face was getting even frostier, Davian hurriedly said to Robert, ¡°All right. If there is nothing else, leave us now.¡± Robert had onlye for the role of Howard, and now that he had achieved his goal, he really did not want to spend any more time in front of this surly man. So he hurriedly nodded his head. ¡°Okay, I will leave now.¡± The news really pissed Gilbert ofl.As Davian saw the wound on Gilbert¡¯s chest bled again, he hurriedly called Kelvin over. Gilbert stared at the scraps of newspaper on the floor andughed grimly. ¡°No wonder I could not find her. It turns out she is hiding out with the pretty boy. How could I forget about this pretty boy?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper-¡± ¡°She will do anything to make this pretty boy famous.¡± Davian stared at Gilbert¡¯s frosty scowl for a moment, not really knowing what to say. He had a vague feeling that something was fishy about the story, but he did not dare speak up for Kisa in front of Gilbert. In a cottage, somewhere remote¨C Kisa was rmed when she woke up in the dark and unfamiliar surroundings. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 73 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Her Life is Not Worth Anything. ¡®Where is this ce? Hadn¡¯t I fainted after Gilbert threw me on the snow? And who saved me?¡¯ Kisa sat up in bed slowly and looked around her cautiously. At that moment, there was the sound of a door opening. Startled, she scrambled to lie down and pretend to sleep. As the door opened, someone she was familiar with walked in, but she could not see who the person was because of the poor lighting. It was only when the person switched on the light in the room that she saw it was Howard. ¡°It is you?¡± She eximed in surprise. Howard looked at her with relief. ¡°You are awake. I brought you some food. Get up and eat it while it is warm.¡± Kisa got out of bed, puzzled. ¡°Why am I here? Where is this ce?¡± ¡°I was walking through a snowy field when I found you passed out on the ground, so I brought you here.¡± Howard looked around and continued. ¡°This isn¡¯t my ce. I had to put you in this out-of-the-way ce because of the morning news. Otherwise, those reporters would have gone ape again if they found out you were in my house.¡± ¡°The morning news?¡± Kisa furrowed her brow involuntarily, feeling uneasy. A sh of guilt appeared on Howard¡¯s face. ¡°It was my fault for not noticing the paparazzi around when I saved you.¡± ¡°Let me see the news.¡± Her instincts told her there was something serious going on. Howard took out a newspaper and handed it to her. As if to reassure her, he said, ¡°I think the media is just making things up. They are just trying to get attention.¡± The more he said this, the more panicked Kisa became. She tensed up as she opened the newspaper. After reading just one headline, her face went, and she said emotionally, ¡°How could this happen? Who wrote this story? It is simply nonsense.¡± ¡°Absolutely. Those unscrupulous media are writing pure nonsense for the sake of readership.¡± Howard chimed in. Kisa tried desperately to hold herposure. ¡°When did thise out in the news?¡±. ¡°Seven in the morning, and it is now two in the afternoon.¡± ¡°So, Gilbert should have had this news suppressed.¡± Given Gilbert¡¯s ability and way of doing things, he would have had it suppressed as soon as it came out. But Howard just shook his head. ¡°This story is only getting more viral.¡± ¡°How?¡± Kisa looked at him incredulously. ¡®With Gilbert¡¯s ability, he would have been able to squash the story when it first came out. That the story is now gaining momentum means that Gilbert has never intended to suppress it in the first ce, or that he has deliberately let it be. But what is his purpose in doing so? It wouldn¡¯t do him any good, would it? It would make him and GK Pictures the subject of gossip.¡¯ As he thought about it, her phone rang. It was Arie calling, ¡°Are you dead? You didn¡¯t even pick me up from the airport when I returned. But that is okay. What pisses me is that I have been back for a day and you are nowhere to be found. You really think you are the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO because the media wrote so? Get you *ss to the set right now.¡± Arie¡¯s abuse came as soon as she answered the call. Kisa could only rush to the set to deal with Arie first. When she hung up the phone, she saw many missed calls, all froin Gilbert.¡¯ He has never been so eager to see me before. Is it because of her grandmother or the news?¡¯ As her thoughts wandered, Howard suddenly asked, ¡°Did Arie call you on set again?¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°I will have to go anyway, as I¡¯m her assistant.¡± ¡°Then we will go over together,¡± Howard said. Kisa was startled, thinking he was going to give her a lift, and declined. ¡°No, I will just go by myself lest the press will get pictures of me and write crap again.¡± ¡°Okay. You go ahead, and I will be thereter. Anyway, I have been given a notice from the set that I have to be there at four o¡¯clock.¡± ¡°The set sent you a notice?¡± Kisa froze for a moment. ¡°I thought you¡¯d already¡­¡± Howard also looked puzzled. ¡°I¡¯m also wondering. Mr. Kooper has obviously stripped me of my role as the second male, but just today, he informed the director that I would continue to y the second male, and I don¡¯t know if it has anything to do with today¡¯s news.¡± Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Kisa stared at him in amazement, and something suddenly came to mind. After a long silence, she smiled sarcastically. ¡®What I could not even get back with my life, a benefitpromised that man. I knew it; my life isn¡¯t worth anything in his eyes.¡¯ Because of the terrible feeling, Kisa simply took a few bites of food and then was ready to go to the set. Just as she stepped out of the cottage, a group of reporters suddenly swarmed over. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 74 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Will you take me away? Kisa stepped back in horror but was quickly surrounded. She was wearing a hat, and her face was covered with a scarf, but the reporters still recognized her. At that moment, the cloudy sky was raining, but the reporters did not seem to be bothered by it. They surrounded her and kept asking questions. ¡°Miss Watson, are you really the Kisa Watson back then?¡± ¡°Does Mr. Kooper know your true identity? Did Mr. Kooper forgive you for what you did to him back then?¡± ¡°Miss Watson, please answer. What is your rtionship with Howard?¡± ¡°Miss Watson, what happened in that fire in prison back then, and how did you survive it?¡± ¡°You deliberately put out the news that you were the wife of GK¡¯s CEO. Why are you refusing to admit it now?¡± The camera shes, and the noise of pursuing reporters made her dizzy. Kisa tried to get away, but there was no way out. She covered her ears and hissed for them to stop filming and asking questions, but her yell was soon drowned out by the noise of the barrage of questions and the cold sound of the shutter. Suddenly, her back hit a wall of inuscles, and a familiar scent came. Kisa looked up and saw Gilbert behind her. She subconsciously grabbed the corner of his shirt as if it were her lifeline. ¡°Take me away. I don¡¯t want to stay here. Will you take me away?¡± As the icy wind blew the silk scarf off her head, Gilbert stared indifferently at her pale, ugly face. After a long moment, he plucked away her fingers, one by one, coldly. Kisa took two steps back and looked at him in disbelief. ¡®How foolish I have been to rely on him at this point in my life to think that he woulde to my rescue.¡¯ The chilly wind and rain kept beating on her body. She was nearlypletely soaked. She hugged herself tightly, her body shivering Gilbert nced at her indifferently and raised his voice at the reporters. ¡°Do you all really think she is my wife?¡± His voice was so prating that the reporters fell silent at his words. He then smirked and looked at the reporters with mocking eyes, exuding a sense of authority. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. After a long while, one reporter finally plucked up his courage to ask, ¡°There is no smoke without fire. If she is not your wife, then why does she look almost identical to your wife?¡± ¡°Well, there are many simr-looking people in this world. Is everyone who resembles my wife?¡± Another reporter asked, ¡°But if she is not rted to you in any way, why has she been outside the vi where your grandmother lives?¡± ¡°She is just one of the Kooper family maids, and it is not surprising that she is looking after Grandma.¡± The reporters looked on in disbelief at howposed Gilbert answered their questions. After a long moment, they turned their attention to Kisa. ¡°Miss Watson, is it true that you are just a maid in their family?¡± Kisa nodded without hesitation, her lean, trembling body seemingly ready to fall over at any moment. ¡°And what, may I ask, is your rtionship with Mr. Howard? One is at least an actor, and you are just a maid. Why are you two behaving so intimately and flirtatiously?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any special rtionship with Howard. He just happened to save me.¡± A journalist instantly retorted. ¡°It was reported that you two were acting all lovey-dovey on set. That doesn¡¯t seem to make sense, does it?¡± Gilbert gave Kisa an icy stare, and Kisa did not answer, just clutching the corner of her coat. The more silent she was, the more the reporters pressed her. People could do horrible things like making up nonsense and lies. Faced with the reporters¡¯ intense questioning, Kisa looked at Gilbert again and saw his cold, indifferent expression. At that moment, a man suddenly burst into the crowd. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 75 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 75 Chapter 75 A Trap The man was no other than Howard. Without a word, he drew Kisa into his arms to protect her. Kisa was too weak to resist and could just stare at him, dumbfounded. Her mind was a muddle, and she could not understand why reporters had suddenly taken pictures of her and Howard. She also did not know what their intention was in publishing such a news story. If it was just a means for a certain newspaper to shore up its cirction and make money, it still could not exin why they would suddenly target her and Howard. After all, no outsiders knew she was Gilbert¡¯s wife yet. She felt as if an invisible hand was pushing her into a trap, which would implicate many people, including Gilbert. Because of Howard and Gilbert¡¯s presence, the reporters became even more frantic at asking all kinds of aggressive questions. But Gilbert just kept a cool eye on everything. Howard said to the reporters, ¡°Please don¡¯t make things difficult for Miss Watson. She and I are just friends, and we are only working together on the set. It is normal for us to take care of each other.¡± ¡°We know she is Arie¡¯s assistant, and you and her don¡¯t have a direct working rtionship. Yet there were people on the set who saw you guys behave intimately. How do you exin that?¡± ¡°Besides, she is also the maid of the Kooper family. Did you approach her for any other reason? Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert stared at Howard and sneered, as if he had seen through everything. Seeing Gilbert grimace, Howard¡¯s heart skipped a beat. But he still calmly said to the reporters, ¡°First, I did not know that Miss Watson is the Kooper family maid; in fact, the people on the set probably misunderstood, because Miss Watson resembles my deceased sister, so I took extra care of her. I hope the media will stop making things up.¡± But those reporters were still relentless. When Howard saw Kisa¡¯s expression, he hurriedly brought her to leave. ¡°Sorry, Miss Watson is not feeling well. Please ask next time if you have questions.¡± As he was about to squeeze through the crowd with Kisa in his arms, Gilbert suddenly stopped them, and all the camera shes went off at once at that moment. This was going to make it to the headline tomorrow. Davian, standing by, became worried. What is going on with Mr. Kooper? Isn¡¯t he here to put out the fire? Howe it feels like he is adding fuel to the fire?¡¯ Howard looked at Gilbert respectfully. ¡°Mr. Kooper, what are you doing?¡± Gilbert shot the woman in Howard¡¯s arms a nce and said, ¡°She is a Kooper family maid. Not to mention she hasn¡¯t fulfilled her duty yet. Let¡¯s take this news, for instance; she can¡¯t be exonerated of the suspicion. Do you think you can take her away?¡± Howard immediately frowned in disbelief. ¡°What do you mean by that? You don¡¯t suspect that she is the one who set up this story, do you?¡± ¡°It is not impossible when she wants to make you famous,¡± Gilbert said casually, but it sounded heartless and ironic to Kisa¡¯s ears. Davian saw that the situation was getting out of hand and hurriedly pulled Kisa over, then said to the reporters aloud, ¡°We still have to investigate this matter, so we can only take this woman back to the Kooper family. I hope the media won¡¯t specte before things are clear.¡± The car had driven a long way, and Kisa still felt her head buzzing with the noise of the reporters. She slumped into the seat, exhausted, unable to say a word. Neither Gilbert said anything. The atmosphere in the cabin felt depressing and suffocating. When they arrived back at the Kooper residence, Kisa was walking to her room absentmindedly when Gilbert dragged her into the study room. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 76 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Stomping Her Pride Into the Dirt The door of the study was closed but Gilbert remained silent as he leaned against the table and took a deep puff. The chilly rain had drenched both of them. Kisa hugged herself and felt only chill. Her voice was seemingly trembling as she said, ¡°Just say what you want to say. If you want to take revenge,e on then.¡± She hated silence like this, especially when she was cold and being extremely miserable. The man¡¯s expression was extremely scary, and his silence made him even more terrifying to approach. Kisa bit her lips and thinking of Madalyn¡¯s condition the other day, she could not help but ask, ¡°Is Grandma alright?¡± ¡°Silence! You have no right to speak of her!¡± Gilbert suddenly erupted into a furious roar. With him bursting in anger, the wound at his chest looked like it was about toe apart again as the blood stains immediately faintly spread across the rain-soaked shirt. Kisa stared at the bloodstain on his chest for a moment before walking over. The doctor had repeatedly reminded her that his wound cannot be infected or it will be very troublesome. That wound was made by her, and the reason she was helping him reapply the bandage and medicating it was in hopes that he would not seek revenge on her for that stab. There was a medicine box on the table, which seemed like it was specifically prepared to treat his wounds. Yet when she brought the medicine and gauze before him, he suddenly turned around and angrily pressed her against the table. ¡°Do you think that Howard can be popr just because you pulled this stunt?¡± As if he was suppressing a long-simmering anger, his bloodied chest was heaving hard. Kisa stubbornly looked back into his cold, dark eyes, ¡°You really think I did that?¡± ¡°Who else then? Back then, you risked life and limb to help him get his role back. So, what wouldn¡¯t you do to make him popr?¡± Gilbert red at her and gnashed his teeth. ¡°The good name of GK Pictures and mine are not tools for you to make some punk popr. Your shameless schemes disgust me!¡± Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°If I¡¯m disgusting, what about you then?¡± Kisa looking on mockingly at him, ¡°When I begged you to give Howard his role back, you wouldn¡¯t even budge. Now with how trending this news is, you saw room for profit and immediately gave him the role back. You mock me for my methods and yet you want to use this to profit. Who¡¯s the more disgusting one here?¡± Gilbert¡¯s eyes instantly narrowed. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°With your capability, you totally would have the ability to suppress this news when it first reared its head. The reason it¡¯s trending now is clearly you allowed it to happen on purpose. You saw that Howard¡¯s star is on the rise and quickly gave him his role back, isn¡¯t this just you trying to use this trend to give ¡°Goddess of My Adoration free publicity?¡± ¡°The shows under GK Pictures don¡¯t need this sort of free publicity,¡± Gilbert let out a mocking short but did not provide any further exnation. He only looked on gloomily at the woman before him. ¡°So does that mean you admit to this?¡± ¡°What difference does it make if I admit it or not? You¡¯d still think I had a hand in this no matter what, no?¡± Kisa let out a sneering smile, ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll admit to that, kill me if you want to, but stop clutching me like that, will you?¡± Perhaps it was due to her being soaked in the rain, her head was aching and was ufortable all over. She only wanted to go back to her room, take a hot bath and get a good night¡¯s sleep. Yet, her mocking tone once again aroused the man¡¯s anger. ¡°Let me tell you, no matter what you do, Howard Mullen will never be popr!¡± As he said that, he brutally tossed her onto the ground. ¡°Get lost!¡± This blow was so strong that Kisa felt that her innards was about to spill out. At this moment, Kelvin walked in and upon seeing that, reflexively wanted to help her up, but he was stopped by Gilbert. He coldly looked at the coughing woman who was curled up on the ground and hissed, ¡°You¡¯re always like this, ying the abused victim. What an utter shame for you to not be an actress.¡± His mocking words stabbed viciously onto her body like des. Kisa clenched her fist and wanted to get up but somehow her strength eluded her. Yet the more she struggled the more vicious Gilbert¡¯s sneering be, ¡°You sure had it hard yesterday, bringing a bag of blood along with you when we visited Grandma. Judging by the amount of blood on the ground, you must¡¯ve brought quite a bit, no?¡± Kisa bit her lower lip but her tears still came rushing out. Kelvin could no longer watch it any longer, ¡°Gilbert, don¡¯t be like this, she¡¯s just¡­¡± ¡°I like to y the abused victim, don¡¯t look then!¡± Kisa¡¯s outburst interrupted Kelvin¡¯s sentence as she looked at Gilbert with a prickly smile. Gilbert put his hand away and squatted before her. As he looked at her pained expression, he let out a contemptuous short, ¡°You acting all infirm is just to get me to take pity on you, right? How about this, if you crawl out of here, then I¡¯ll buy that you¡¯re seriously hurt, and I¡¯ll immediately get the good doctor here to treat you?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 77 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 77 Chapter 77 A Chance to Live Kelvin looked at Gilbert in shock. ¡®How much hatred does he have for this woman. for him to humiliate her like that? He then suddenly understood why this woman outright refused to tell Gilbert about her condition. Kisa looked at Gilbert with reddened eyes, her heart aching. ¡®If this was Sara or Sharon, he would be pained instead of trying to humiliate me.¡¯ ¡®It¡¯s only with me that he is so brutal, so ruthless.¡¯ Looking at her reddened, bitter eyes, Gilbert only offered a sneer, ¡°Crawl then. Since you want to act like you¡¯re dying, then act the part. What¡¯s the point of using those props?¡± ¡°You want me to crawl? I refuse!¡± Kisa red at him and as thest of the words left her mouth, she struggled to climb up. ¡®Even if I die, I refuse to die in front of this man bereft of any dignity.¡¯ Her soaked body felt a chill all over, but it was nothingpared to the ice in her heart. The difort of her body and the dizziness in her head had sapped her of her strength, just as she bent her knees to get up, she very quickly fell onto the ground again. And that happened over and over again, looking like a dying clown. Although Kelvin did not quite like this woman, he still could not stand watching this go on. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. He nced at Gilbert and caught on that although Gilbert was looking indifferently at that woman, he was seemingly holding something back as his fist by the side was clenched tight. He could not help but to sigh and said to Kisa, who was still trying to get on her feet, ¡°What¡¯s the point of your dignity if you¡¯re dead? Why push yourself like this?¡± There was another meaning behind Kelvin¡¯s words. Kisa understood that he wanted her to crawl out, so at least Gilbert will allow him to treat her, and to give her a chance to live. Yet, she dismissed this opportunity outright. She gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain as she got up, but as her strength was sapped, she staggered a few steps forward before mming heavily onto the ground again. She saw herself getting closer to the door, smiled, and then struggled to get up again. The study was silent, with only the heavy breathing of the people inside audible, and the muffled thuds of Kisa falling over and over again. No one knew how long it took, but when Kisa eventually walked out of the study, she felt like she was reborn. At the same time, a loud crash of something being smashed rang out from the room. She did not even turn around to look at that man as she walked on, with much difficulty, toward her room by leaning against the wall. when she got into her room, she no longer had to pretend to be tough and allowed her body to copse onto the ground. Thinking of Gilbert¡¯s merciless humiliation of her, she bit the back of her hand as she trembled and sobbed. She wanted to scream at Gilbert, ¡®Why treat me like this? But asking that question, was just her humiliating herself. She curled into ball and hugged herself tightly. Her body was cold, her heart even more so. Her world was long bereft of warmth. ¡®Let¡¯s just leave. This world really has nothing left for me to live for.¡¯ But she was bitter. The more she hated the man, the more bitter she got. ¡°Do I really want to die saddled with those false charges and humiliation on my back?¡¯ ¡®No, I want to prove to Gilbert.¡¯ ¡®I want to proof to him, within thisst remaining year I have, that I¡¯?n innocent. I want him to me himself, to feel guilty. ¡®I want¡­ I want Gilbert to kneel before her and beg her to ept Kelvin¡¯s treatment.¡¯ ¡®Heh¡­heheheh She let out an eerieugh as her heart was gradually filled with bitterness and hatred.

Kelvin knew what she was seething at and could only sigh, ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t need to butt heads with Gilbert. Just take crawling out of the room in front of him an opportunity for you to save your life.¡± Kisa mockingly twitched her lips but said nothing. Kelvin ignored her sneering, and said solemnly, ¡°Your condition is worsening by the day, and if this goes on, you¡¯ll have less than a year to live. So I¡¯d advise you to y nice with Gilbert and beg him.¡± ¡°You¡¯re his friend, and I don¡¯t me you for standing on his side,¡± Kisa slowly got up as she looked at him icily, ¡°But I will never beg him.¡± Now that she had said that, Kelvin did not persist. Kisa suddenly laughed, but her eyes were chillingly cold. ¡°Do you believe that there wille a day where he begs me to allow you to treat me?¡± Kelvin frowned, not quiet catching what she meant, but when he saw the cold look in her eyes, he was a little shocked. At this moment, Davian suddenly ran in. ¡°Doctor, please look at Mr. Kooper, his condition seems to be getting worse.¡± Kelvin subconsciously nced at Kisa and found her totally impassive. As if Gilbert¡¯s life or death no longer had anything to do with her any longer. He got up, but could not help but to tell her, ¡°Oh, I forgot to tell you. After you got back to your room, Gilbert copsed as well.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Kisa¡¯s smile was rather icy, ¡°With your ability, he won¡¯t be dying any time soon, no?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of that?¡± Davian spat angrily, ¡°Mr. Kooper¡¯s wound is all thanks to you, and every time his woundes apart is because of you, and the wound infection this time is also thanks to you. Do you even have any conscience?¡± ¡°His emotions are his, what does he getting angry has anything to do with me?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Davian gnashed his teeth his fury, and a momentter, he snorted, ¡°Mr. Kooper is right, you¡¯re a heartless b*tch.¡± Kisa did not refute him and only let out a mocking smile. Davian did not care to argue with her and followed Kelvin out. At that moment, Kisa suddenly stopped him. ¡°What? Suddenly found your conscience, and now you¡¯re worried about Mr. Kooper?¡± Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Kisa looked at him impassively, ¡°What¡¯s the status of the investigation of that news? Have you found out who spread the rumors?¡± Davian rolled his eyes, ¡°And here I really thought that you¡¯re worried for Mr. Kooper.¡± Seeing Kisa not saying anything, he snorted, ¡°Weren¡¯t you the one spreading the rumors? What? Trying to shift the me now?¡± ¡°Gilbert is biased so he thought I was the one who did it, and for you, his assistant to just go along like this, you¡¯re sure his dog.¡± ¡°Heh, do I even need to go along? The entire world is saying you¡¯re the one who spread the rumors, that it went into the news. And you¡¯re still trying sophistry?¡± Davian snorted angrily before adding, ¡°What a stain on Mr. Kooper¡¯s and GK Picture¡¯s reputation. Howard Mullen sure got free publicity, and he¡¯s still number one trending to this day.¡± Kisa listened as a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in her mind. She then looked at Davian, asking, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why did Gilbert not suppress the news when it first appeared?¡± ¡°You still have the cheek to say that. Ever since the day you disappeared from Madam¡¯s ce, Mr. Kooper had been looking for you like crazy. He did not sleep at all, and just sat in the study smoking.¡± ¡°While I was drunk after Kelvin kept filling my mug and only woke up the next day.

Kisa lowered her gaze as she quietly sorted the matter out in her mind. ¡®So, it¡¯s because Gilbert actedte that the news could not be suppressed, and when he learned that Howard was using this news to get popr, he handed the role back to him to help publicize the new GK Picture¡¯s drama?¡± ¡®But with Gilbert¡¯s proud character, he will not care for such trifling benefits.¡¯ ¡®So why did he suddenly give Howard his role back?¡¯ She did not believe that man would be so kind to do so. ¡®As for the rumors, could it be Sharon¡¯s doing?¡¯ ¡°Did she deliberately let the reporters know that I was Kisa Becker, and got them to gather around Grandma¡¯s ce?¡¯ ¡®But this entire thing does Sharon no good. Conversely, if my identity as GK Picture¡¯s CEO¡¯s wise is exposed, then Sharon will never have the chance to marry into the Kooper family.¡¯ ¡®So, this is not her doing.¡¯ After analyzing the entire thing, the greatest benefactor for this was Howard himself. Thinking of this, the same terrifying thought appeared in her mind again. ¡®No, I need to ascertain things with Howard. I cannot allow my sincerity to be used like this.¡¯ That night, Kisa, wrapped up in thick clothes, sat by the river as she rubbed her hands together to fight off the cold. On such a cold day, there was no one else but her by the river. She wandered around back and forth by the river for a while before a thin man wearing a cap and mask finally walked toward her. ¡°Miss Watson, you must be freezing. Come, let me treat you to a cup of coffee.¡± It was Howard. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. As he said that he grabbed Kisa by the hand. She immediately dodged aside, saying, ¡°This is a good ce, we won¡¯t be seen at the very least. Howard¡¯s voice immediately took an apologetic tone, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault that you got dragged into this.¡± ¡°The one that should be apologizing is me. It¡¯s because of me you¡¯re dragged into this nonsense, no?¡± As it was nighttime, plus Howard was much more covered up, Kisa could not see his expression. She did not keep up the apologies and instead asked him, ¡°Why did you¡± Howard was clearly taken aback, before asking somewhat miffed a momentter, ¡°Are you suspecting me?¡± Kisa did not say anything. Howard suddenly snorted before speaking in a disappointed tone, ¡°I was visiting my little sister¡¯s grave that day. Many of the roads there were congested because of idents, so the road by Mrs. Walker¡¯s manor was the only one I could take to go back to my vige. Just as I was about to take that route, I unexpectedly saw you lying in the snow.¡± Kisa did not say anything still, she did not know if she could believe Howard or not. Seeing her keeping silent, Howardughed again, hisughter sounding a little sad. ¡°I lived in Mullenby, and my little sister was Snow Mullen. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can take that road near Mrs. Walker¡¯s manor and have a look.¡± 1 . He then left after saying that, and Kisa did not try to stop him. With everything being murky now, she dared not trust anyone at all. After returning to the Kooper residence, and just as she walked past Gilbert¡¯s room, Sharon¡¯s voice suddenly came out from within. ¡°I saw Kisa being with Howard by the riverside¡­ But I believe she has nothing to do with him, they were probably just talking about the news.¡± Kisa listened on outside as an icy smile slowly took over her face. ¡®Sharon sure is a b*tch. She would deliberately leave a conversation hanging before trying her best to help me undo the knot.¡¯ ¡®That way, it¡¯s impossible for anyone to believe that I have nothing to do with Howard.¡¯ As she thought back, ¡®Hasn¡¯t Sharon always been pretending to be a good person?¡¯ But back then, she actually thought that this woman was actually the most innocent, the kindest of person in the world. ¡®I¡¯m really blind.¡¯ She took a deep breath and then pushed open the door before her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 80 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Everything Became Her Fault At this moment, Sharon was feeding Gilbert porridge. Due to Kisa¡¯s sudden appearance, both of their faces suddenly turned gloomy. Kisa quickly shifted her gaze from Gilbert¡¯s icy face onto Sharon as she smiled at thetter,¡± Sharon, you sure are irvoyant, so much so that you know that Howard and I wanted to investigate the news. Seems like you do believe me.¡± Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. ¡°That¡¯s right, you¡¯re my dear sister, no?¡± Sharon let out a fake smile. Kisa twitched her lips icily, ¡°However, your vision sure is twenty-twenty, both Howard and I were so covered up and still you recognized us. No one would¡¯ve bought that if you did not tail us from the beginning.¡± Sharon¡¯s expression changed but she dared not explode before Gilbert. At this moment, Gilbert suddenly sneered, ¡°You still dare to meet up with your darling boy at this juncture, then why are you afraid of being tailed? Ridiculous!¡± The man¡¯s voice was full of scorn and anger. It was only then did Kisa took a look at him. She saw him dressed in a loose gown, and a thick bandage could be seen from there. His face was pale, his chapped lips exuded weakness, yet such infirmity could not hide the cold ruthlessness in his eyes. Recalling his ridicule yesterday, she quipped, ¡°Ah, so you do have the strength to mock someone else. Seems like you¡¯re doing fine after all. And here I thought Davian mentioned that it¡¯s serious. I wonder if it was him over-exaggerating or you are ying coy.¡± ¡°Kisa Becker!¡± Gilbert rumbled, his fury slowly rising again. Seeing this, Sharon immediately held his arm and gently said, ¡°Don¡¯t get angry. Dr. Mullen said that you cannot afford to rip your wound open again.¡± Gilbert then red at Kisa. She met his gaze with an impassive look. She only had a year¡¯s time left, and she had nothing to be afraid of. At this moment, Sharon suddenly admonished her, ¡°Kisa, I know you never loved Gilbert before, but you can¡¯t hurt him like this¡­¡± The instant Sharon said that; Gilbert¡¯s expression grew even colder. Kisa did not say anything as she stared at the woman before her to see what sort of act she would put on. Sure enough, Sharon quickly put on a pained look, ¡°Gilbert have been treating you so well, and he did not even say anything after you stabbed him. Not only you did not even look after him, you even hurt him with your words, and now you have a secret tryst with Howard at this juncture¡­¡± ¡°I get it, you¡¯ve fallen for Howard, and have only disdain for Gilbert. But don¡¯t you forget, you are still his wife. If you hate Gilbert that much, divorce him then. Why do you need to meet Howard while still his wife? What sort of position you¡¯re putting Gilbert in?¡± Sharon was tearful as she said that her every word painting pity for Gilbert¡¯s misfortune. Everything she had said made it sounded it like was truly Kisa¡¯s fault. She, Kisa Becker, had stabbed her husband, cheated on her husband, and using her husband¡¯s name and fame to help her lover. ¡®Look, this woman had painted me as an absolutely abominable person with just a few words.¡¯ And Gilbert too bought what she said, his expression so gloomy it was palpable. Kisa let out a contemptuous sneer as she looked at Sharon, ¡°You may look like you¡¯re here to take care of Gilbert, but in truth, you¡¯re just hoping for his early demise, no?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 81 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 81 Chapter 81 You¡¯re Ruthless! Sharon was stunned. She scowled at her and snapped. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± ¡°You know that Gilbert¡¯s seriously injured and needs as much rest as possible. Yet, you still choose to talk about these things in front of him. Are you trying to kill himn?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not,¡± retorted Sharon. She quickly looked toward him, ¡°Gilbert, trust me. I wasn¡¯t trying to make you angry. I just felt like all this was unfair to you.¡± Gilbert seemed tired. He pinched his forehead and replied coldly, ¡°Get out.¡± Sharon, who was looking pleased, turned toward Kisa, ¡°Did you hear that? Gilbert wants you to leave.¡± ¡°Both of you, get out!¡± His words startled Sharon and made her blush in shame. Kisa sneered at her, then turned around and walked out. Just as she entered her room, she heard quick footsteps following behind her. She turned around to a big p flying toward her. Luckily, she was fast enough to react. She quickly lifted her hands and grabbed onto Sharon¡¯s wrist. Now that Gilbert was not around, Sharon shed her goody-two-shoes facade, revealing her true vicious nature underneath. ¡°Kisa Becker! I¡¯ve underestimated you. You have always acted like a saint. I never thought you were such a silver-tongued devil.¡± Kisa roughly pushed her away and took a few steps back. She scoffed, ¡°No matter how good I am, I will never be able to match your level. That year when Sara went missing and I was sent into jail, although you created the illusion that you were not involved, you seemed to be the one benefiting the most out of the incident.¡± Sharon¡¯s face darkened in anger, ¡°What do you mean? Don¡¯t you dare use me!¡± ¡°If you didn¡¯t want people to find out, you shouldn¡¯t have done it in the first ce.¡± Sharon was furious. She ran over to her, grabbed her wrist tightly and warned, ¡°Let me tell you this. Don¡¯t you dare nder my reputation. All those dirty things that happened back then were all your doing. Do you think anyone would simply believe your words?¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why are you overreacting so much? what¡¯s wrong, are you feeling guilty?¡± ¡°As if!¡± Sharon pushed hier away and snorted, ¡°I just hate people sullying my reputation. You were given a chance to live again, so just be grateful and live quietly. Stop trying to y games in front of the media. Do you really think Gilbert will let you be the CEO of GK Pictures again is the public finds out about your true identity? Pfft, stop dreaming!¡± ¡°Even if I can¡¯t regain my position as CEO, it won¡¯t be yours either. As long as I¡¯m legally married to Gilbert, you will never have the chance.¡± ¡°You!¡± Sharon was enraged. The vicious look on her face was as if she wanted to tear Kisa into pieces. Kisa turned back and sat on the sofa. With her hands crossed under her chest, she stared at Sharon, ¡°After all, you¡¯ve stuck by his side for five years trying to gain his favor, but he hasn¡¯t made any moves on you. Tell me, is it your skills that are the problem, or is it the fact that he has no feelings for you at all?¡± ¡°You evildy!¡± Sharon was losing her mind in anger, and rushed over to attack Kisa. kisa sneered, ¡°You¡¯re in the Kooper family home. List a singer at me, I dare you.¡± Sharon recoiled at those words and stood still.Owned by N?velDrama.Org. She stared back at kisa, ¡°You¡¯re ruthless!¡± After throwing those words, she left with a cloud of anger. She mmed the door as hard as she could on her way out. Once Sharon left, the sneer on Kisa¡¯s face faded into self-pity. She had mocked Sharon, but she could not win over Gilbert¡¯s heart. After tonight, she was even more convinced that Sharon was not involved with the recent news. Still, Kisa was sure that she definitely had something to do with the events that had happened back then. The next morning, she nned to check out the location Howard had mentioned. However, she did not want to rm the bodyguard at the door, since Gilbert had ordered her to stay in the house. She was anxious, but all she could do was ask Davian to go on her behalf. Initially, Davian was reluctant to go, as he still held a grudge toward her for being heartless to Gilbert. It was only when she promised to stay by Gilbert¡¯s side 24/7 and take care of him that he agreed. Even though she was making such a promise, it was up to Gilbert himself to decide whether he would allow her to do so. That was out of her control. She was sure that Gilbert did not want to see her, so the next morning she went into Gilbert¡¯s room and paced back and forth, trying to annoy him and make him chase her out. Little did she know, she would not make it out. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 82 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 82 Chapter 82 That¡¯s Right, I¡¯m Up To Something Gilbert was leaning on the bed frame. He looked a lot more tired than the day before. His lips were chapped and his whole body seemed weak. Kisa stood at the door for quite a while, waiting for him to chase her out. However, he just sat there quietly while looking down and reading the newspaper in hand. The atmosphere was awkward and depressing. She had thought of leaving the room quietly but felt that it was too sudden to do so. So, she asked nonchntly, ¡°You seem to be in good spirits today. You should be fine for the rest of the day, right?¡± Gilbert raised his eyes and looked at her, ¡°Heh. You came here early in the morning just to check if I¡¯m dead or not?¡± All she wanted was for him to chase her out, so Kisa purposely provoked him, saying, ¡°That¡¯s right. Too bad the heavens have not heard my wish. They¡¯re still letting you breathe.¡± Gilbert¡¯s eyes narrowed fiercely, and his jaw tightened in anger. Kisa added, ¡°It seems like you don¡¯t want me here. Then, I¡¯ll get lost before you get upset and make yourself even weaker.¡± ¡°Hold it!¡± At his growl, Kisa frowned. ¡®Was that not enough to make him chase me out?¡¯ she wondered to herself. ¡®Were my words not spiteful enough?¡¯ She turned around, ready to annoy him even more, but he was looking at the breakfast on the coffee table. ¡°Those were sent in by the servants,¡± said Gilbert. Kisa was stunned. She quickly came back to her senses and replied,¡± I¡¯m not hungry.¡± Gilbertughed, ¡°Oh, don¡¯t tter yourself. I wasn¡¯t offering it to you.¡± Owned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You¡­¡± Kisa tried to hold back her anger. She walked over and brought the breakfast to his bedside. Just then, Davian came in. Kisa nced at him and reacted quickly, holding up a bowl of porridge. ¡°You¡¯re quite sick. Here, let me feed you.¡± she said to Gilbert in a gentle tone. Gilbert stared at her in confusion. On the other hand, Davian was pleased at what he saw. He told Gilbert, ¡°Mr. Kooper, I¡¯m d to see that you¡¯re in good spirits today. I can rest easy knowing that Mrs. Kooper is taking good care of you. You should just take this time to rest and recover. There hasn¡¯t been much trouble in thepany, except for the recent news. I¡¯ll make sure to find out the truth and hold a press conference to clear things up.¡± Gilbert was not listening. Instead, he was staring at Kisa with questions in his head. Kisa acted naturally and blew the hot porridge as if it was second nature. Davian looked at them both and smiled, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll get going.¡± After bidding them goodbye, he quickly left the room to avoid disturbing the lovely couple. Kisa scooped a spoonful of porridge. Just as she was about to feed him, Gilbert grabbed onto her wrist tightly. ¡°You¡¯re treating me so kindly today. You¡¯re up to something, aren¡¯t you?¡± She had a strong urge to put the porridge aside and leave, but she had made a promise to Davian. She could only grit her teeth and get it over with. At that point, she really wished he would chase her out of the room. She replied with a sneer, ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m up to something. You¡¯d better not eat the porridge. Who knows, I might¡¯ve added some extra voring inside to poison you.¡± ¡®With this, Gilbert must be at the brink of chasing me out,¡¯ she thought to herself. But Gilbert only replied with a chuckle. Then, he pushed her hand toward his mouth and ate the spoonful of porridge slowly. ¡°Mmm¡­tastes okay. Keep feeding me, let¡¯s see if this porridge will really poison me to death or not.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Kisa was confused. Usually, she did not have to say much, and Gilbert would tell her to get out of his sight. But today, no matter how many insults she threw, Gilbert did not react. She found this very strange. At that moment, her phone rang and broke the silence. She looked at the screen caller ID, and her eyes lit up in joy. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 83 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Don¡¯t Leave Me ¡°Hey, Arie!¡± Just as she said that, Gilbert snatched away her phone. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Kisa scowled at him angrily. He was not in a hurry to talk on the phone. Instead, he waited patiently for Arie to finish ranting on the other side. Gilbert only spoke when she finished ranting. ¡°I¡¯m Gilbert Kooper. We suspect your assistant used GK Pictures¡¯s reputation for a publicity stunt. We are in the midst of interrogation, but don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll arrange for a temporary assistant as a substitute.¡± Arie was shocked. She was silent for a while before she replied again with a polite voice, ¡°A alright Mr. Kooper. I didn¡¯t expect you to pick up the phone. I-I was¡­¡± Gilbert hung up impatiently. After hanging up, Kisa said angrily, ¡°What are you doing? You restricting my movements is bad enough, but now you¡¯re interfering with my work as well. Who do you think you are, trying to control my life?¡± ¡°I am Gilbert Kooper, your husband.¡± ¡°Heh. My husband?¡± Kisa found those words very ironic. While they were staring at each other, Kisa¡¯s phone rang once again. Gilbert nced at the screen, and his face twisted into a sour expression. Initially, Kisa thought it was Arie calling again which annoyed Gilbert. But as she took a closer look at the phone, she realized it was Howard. ¡°Give me back my phone.¡± She leaned forward to grab her phone back. But Gilbert avoided her and scoffed, ¡°Why are you in such a hurry to answer? Just because it¡¯s your pretty boy?¡± ¡°What if I said yes? If you can¡¯t bear to hear any of this, then leave!¡± Gilbert let out augh and declined the call. ¡°Let me warn you. While you¡¯re still in this country, you¡¯d better know your ce. GK Picture¡¯s reputation is not something for you to mess with. Before the truth behind this news is revealed, your phone will be confiscated.¡± ¡°Grr¡­¡± Kisa gritted her teeth in anger. At that point, she threw the bowl aside and left. However, when she reached the door, she was reminded of Davian¡¯s words. ¡®Mrs. Kooper, since you¡¯ve made this promise, make sure you keep it. I have eyes all around the house. If you fail to perform as promised, don¡¯t me me for not helping you on this matter or anything else from now on.¡¯ She tightened hiernd and stood in front of the door for a while. It was then that she managed to suppress her anger. ¡®Forget it!¡¯ she thought to herself. She had yet to find out the truth behind what happened five years back. She still needed Davian¡¯s help for certain things. She turned around and looked Gilbert right in the eyes. He chuckled, ¡°What? Are you sad about your phone, or sad that you¡¯ll keep your pretty boy waiting?¡± Kisa kept silent and walked over to clean up the mess she had just made. Gilbert frowned as he watched her. He could not believe she would lower herself down and be nice. 1L After a few moments, he broke the silence, ¡°I don¡¯t know what tricks you¡¯re trying to y this time.¡± The, he tucked himself in bed to sleep. Kisa scoffed. ¡°No matter what I do for him, he¡¯ll only think that I¡¯m scheming something,¡¯ she thought to herself. As night came, she fell asleep on the sofa. Suddenly, she was woken up by the sound of babbling. She got up in a blur and stared nkly for a moment. Then, she went to switch on the wallmp.in the dark. It seemed like Gilbert was having a nightmare. His brows were furrowed tightly, and his forehead was miny with cold sweat. He was shaking his head frantically and kept mumbling, ¡°Why does it have to be you? Why?¡± Kisa did not know what to do, seeing his painful expression. She attempted to wake him up by calling his name a few times, but he was still deep in his nightmare. ¡®Forget it,¡¯ she thought. ¡®He¡¯ll wake up on his own in a while. Kisa decided to not bother him anymore and turned back. Just as she was about to walk toward the sofa, she felt a tight grip on her wrist. ¡°Don¡¯t leave me. Don¡¯t¡­¡± Kisa was shocked, staring at Gilbert who was still lying in bed. It was not because of what he had said, but because of how warm his hands were.

He¡¯s having a fever and it isn¡¯t just any normal fever.¡¯ ¡°Don¡¯t leave me. Don¡¯t¡­¡± He held on tightly to her hands and kept mumbling the same words. She was not sure if he had mistaken hier for someone else. off the top of her head, she assumed he mistook her as Sara or the mother of his two kids. She had the urge to pull back her hands, but Gilbert¡¯s grip was too tight. There was no use fighting it. Fortunately, she noticed his phone on the bedside table. She quickly took it and contacted Kelvin. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. The first call went to voice message, so she tried calling again. At that point, it was already past ten. She was not sure whether he was already asleep. Then, her call went through. Kelvin sounded annoyed, ¡°What is it now? If you would just listen to my advice, rest, and give up on thatdy, you wouldn¡¯t be bothering me every other day. I need sleep too. I have other things to do, you know.¡± Kisa was unsure, but it sounded like Kelvin wasining because she had interrupted his night with someone. She was stunned at the response, but waited for him to finishining before saying, ¡°Gilbert has a high fever, could youe over?¡± ¡°It¡¯s you? Kisa?¡± Kelvin was surprised. He was not surprised that Gilbert fell ill, but at the fact that she was using his phone to call him. Kisa repeated, ¡°Gilbert has a high fever, could youe over?¡± Kelvin came back to his senses and realized the emergency at hand. Yet, he was not worried at all. He replied, ¡°It¡¯s just a fever. It must be because of his wound infection. Don¡¯t worry. Just apply cold compression and redress his wound these few nights.¡± ¡°You¡¯re noting?¡± ¡°It¡¯s toote. I¡¯ll be there first thing in the morning.¡± She wanted to exin more but suddenly, she heard the faint voice of ady. She had guessed right. She was indeed disturbing his night with someone. That would exin his reaction upon picking up the call. After hanging up, Kisa finally managed to release herself from Gilbert¡¯s grip. She went to the bathroom and filled a bucket of warm water. She listed the nket and removed Gilbert¡¯s pajamas. Because of the fever, Gilbert¡¯s skin was flushing. Even though Kisa had spent a night with Gilbert before, this was her first time being in such close proximity to his body. He had a strong build, and his muscles were perfectly shaped. Setting aside her personal biases and objectively speaking based on looks, he was everydy¡¯s dream partner. Brushing off those distracting thoughts in her mind, Kisa took a towel and wiped down his body. After two rounds of this, she changed to a new bucket of water and continued wiping. Gilbert did seem a lot better. He did not seem to be in that much pain anymore, and his body temperature had lowered. Satisfied, she moved on to his wound. Just as she opened the dressing, she was startled. She knew that the stab had been deep, but she did not imagine it would be this bad. His wound was in bad condition, and it was slightly rotting. It did not seem like his wound was being treated by Kelvin. After getting back to her senses, she disinfected the wound and applied some ointment. Then, she re- bandaged the wound with new gauze after the ointment had dried up. When she was done with the dressing, she stood up. At that moment, her eyes met with a pair of heavy dark eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. Before she realized what was happening or had any time to react, Gilbert had dragged her whole body down. She was pinned underneath Gilbert¡¯s body. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 85 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 85 Chapter 85 His Longing and Punishment ¡°What are you doing?¡± screamed Kisa while pushing him away. Yet, he overpowered her in terms of physical strength, and although he was sick, she was not strong enough to push him off. Gilbert held her tightly and looked into her eyes with a dark look. Kisa was terrified at his serious expression. ¡°Don¡¯t leave me anymore, okay?¡± He spoke with a hoarse voice. His words carried a hint of sadness and loneliness. Kisa only looked at him nkly. She had never seen Gilbert in such a vulnerable state before. Was he thinking of Sara and mistaking her for Sara? Then, a warm breath attacked her. Gilbert kissed her passionately. It carried a sense of his longing and¡­ punishment. Kisa still held on to the thought of being mistaken as Sara. She felt offended. At this, she resisted strongly and yelled, ¡°Gilbert Kooper, look clearly! I¡¯m not Sara Mitchell. I¡¯m Kisa Becker!¡± But he ignored her words and continued kissing her. He was acting like a stubborn child. Kisa¡¯s eyes were brimming with tears and her nose was wet. How much did he miss Sara, that he had to imagine Kisa as her? ¡®Why should I be a substitute for that woman?¡¯ Kisa thought. ¡®Wasn¡¯t it enough for me to help thatdy with Anthony¡¯s case?¡¯ Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. As she felt this man¡¯s passion and enthusiasm, Kisa could feel nothing but sadness. She closed her eyes and said in a mocking tone, ¡°You¡¯ve forgotten that I¡¯m the one who kidnapped Sara and hurt your grandmother. The same Kisa Becker whom you despise.¡± Gilbert finally stopped. He propped himself up and stared at her deeply. He had an indescribable look in his eyes. Kisa opened her eyes and looked right into his eyes, ¡°Look closely. I¡¯m Kisa Becker, the one who kidnapped Sara and hurt your grandmother.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Gilbert spit out these two words coldly. His deep voice seemed to be suppressing his emotions. To that, Kisa onlyughed, ¡°Why? Aren¡¯t I telling the truth? Or should I say, have these words broken your beautiful delusion and you can¡¯t ept the fact that I¡¯m Kisa and not Sara?¡± ¡°I told you to shut up!¡± ¡°Ili shut up, will I automatically be Sara? Gilbert, stop lying to yourself. I really am Kisa, not Sara, 1.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± She felt a gust of wind whistle past her ear. It was Gilbert¡¯s punch passing right next to her ear. If he had aimed an inch closer, his fist would havended on her face. Kisa clenched her fists, trembling and staring at him. Sure enough, when being brought back to reality, he would not treat her gently. Gilbert took a deep breath. His face broke into a fierce look, his chest heaving and his body muscles tense. His whole body was showing all the anger he suppressed. ¡°Why did you have to speak? Can¡¯t you just stay by my side quietly? I just want to appreciate the warmth and beauty of this moment. Why did you have to remind me of the cruel reality?¡± DI Kisa bit her bottom lip tightly, trying to control her tears. However, she failed to do so, and they rolled down uncontrobly. She choked and replied, ¡°Why should I be Sara¡¯s stand-in? You get to dwell in this moment of warmth, but what about me? Gilbert, I¡¯m a human, not a robot. I have feelings and emotions too, you know. I can feel sad and hurt too.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 86 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 86 Chapter 86 The First Time She Let Her Guard Down This was the first time Kisa let her guard down. She cried like a child when she confronted Gilbert, ¡°Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong? What have I ever done wrong?¡± But no matter how much she cried, she would never gain pity from the man in front of her. After all, she was not Sara. To him, her tears were just a tool to gain sympathy. His cold, gloomy face did not change in the slightest. Even his eyes were as cold as ice. kisa saw the indifference on his face and knew that her tears were a joke to him. She could cry in front of anyone and everyone except Gilbert. He was stone cold when it came to Kisa. He would never fall for her tears. Suddenly, Kisaughed. The look on her face seemed twisted,bined with the tears rolling down her cheeks, ¡°Oh, I forgot, you never fall for my tears. I guess this little trick of mine wouldn¡¯t work on you.¡± Gilbert¡¯s hands that were holding her slowly tightened, and Kisa could feel his rising anger. All of a sudden, Gilbert yanked Kisa to the ground and yelled, ¡°Get out!¡± She had been looking forward to hearing those words the whole day. Despite her body aching from the fall, she got up, adjusted her cor, and walked out of there without looking back Gilbert stared at her as she fled the scene, and he proceeded to smash everything on the bedside table in anger. ¡®Why is this woman always so stubborn? I want to strangle her to death,¡¯ he thought. Kisa ran back to her room and locked the door. She leaned against the door and started weeping ¡®Why am I always in her shadow? 1 don¡¯t owe her anything, but why am I the one who has to protect her from every disaster? Why do I have to cover for her? i¡¯m a person too, but Gilbert never worries for me. I know he loves Sara, but why must he hurt me in the process? What did I do wrong? The more Kisa thought about it, the more she felt mistreated. She slid her back against the door and fell to the floor. She bent her knees and curled herself into a ball, just to feel some sense of security. It was going to be a sleepless night for Kisa. Just as she was about to fall asleep the next morning, she was awakened by a sudden knock on the door. In a daze, she went to open the door and found that it was Davian. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, didn¡¯t you promise me that you would take good care of Mr. Kooper at all times? How could you not keep your word?¡± Davian questioned her. ¡°He¡¯s the one who doesn¡¯t want my care. He told me to get out, so I did. Ask him if you don¡¯t believe me,¡± she replied. ¡°I don¡¯t care,¡± Davian said in anger. ¡°Mr. Kooper always says ¡®get out,¡¯ but he never means it, so it is not an excuse.¡± N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Kisa rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Forget it, I don¡¯t want to look after him anymore. You don¡¯t have to help me investigate anymore, either. Our partnership is terminated.¡± ¡°¡±That¡¯s not possible. I¡¯ve already looked into Howard Mullen for you,¡± he growled. ¡°But you didn¡¯t keep up your end of the bargain.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the result of the investigation?¡± Kisa asked subconsciously after hearing that Davian had dug into the matter. ¡°Promise me you¡¯ll look after Mr. Kooper until he fully recovers, and I¡¯ll tell you,¡± Davian said angrily. Kisaughed at the sound of that. She remembered the humiliating treatment she received from Gilbertst night and thought to herself, ¡®If I continue to take care of him after that, wouldn¡¯t it be equivalent tomitting suicide? Seeing that Kisa would disagree, Davian decided to y his trump card, ¡°How about this? You look after Mr. Kooper until he gets better, and I will be your future assistant. I¡¯ll do whatever you want if it doesn¡¯t sh with Mr. Kooper¡¯s orders.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Kisa started to loosen up. ¡°Yes,¡± Davian nodded. ¡°Bring a contract next time. We¡¯ll sign an agreement.¡± Davian gritted his teeth and answered, ¡°Okay.¡± He would not have made such a huge sacrifice if Kelvin had not said that only this woman could help Mr. Kooper recover faster. ¡®I don¡¯t understand why Kevin is so sure that this woman is the only one who can help with Mr. Kooper¡¯s injury,¡¯ he thought. After the two of them came to an agreement, Kisa looked at him sternly and said, ¡°Now, tell me the results of your investigation.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 87 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Her Faint Scent ¡°I investigated the matter yesterday based on what you told me, and I¡¯ve found out that there¡¯s actually a road near Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s ce that leads to a vige called Mullenby. There was a girl named Snow Mullen who lived in that vige. She died ten years ago. After asking around, I discovered that she was Howard Mullen¡¯s younger sister.¡± Davian looked closely at Kisa¡¯s face as he said, ¡°It¡¯s weird, but the picture of Snow Mullen on her tombstone looks a little like yourskinny.¡± Kisa frowned at the sound of that. ¡®Could it be? Was Howard telling the truth? Did I get him all wrong? But if he wasn¡¯t the one who was behind the news, then who was it?¡¯ Kisa could not think of anyone other than Sharon Case and Howard Mullen. ¡°Besides that, what else did you learn about the news incident?¡± ¡°Well, I went to the newspaper that first published the news. They insisted that you¡¯re the one who said you¡¯re the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO and that you asked them to stake out in front of Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s residence. How was I supposed to find out more?¡± Davian replied. He looked at her helplessly and said, ¡°Tell me, Mrs. Kooper, did you do it?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Kisa sneered. Davian quickly shook his head, ¡°I believe it wasn¡¯t you, Mrs. Kooper. There may be a big man behind this whole operation. After all, that newspaper is very famous. The person who bribed them must not be an average Joe. However, I don¡¯t know what this big shot¡¯s goal is. Is he trying to hurt GK?¡± Kisa¡¯s heart sank slightly. She was also worried about this. She wondered, ¡®If the news incident was not just a simple publicity stunt, the other party is likely to be a malicious person. Few people know about my true identity. So, who could this person be?¡¯ A wicked cold face suddenly shed across her mind, and her chest tightened. ¡®Could it really be him?¡¯ After the talk with Davian, she didn¡¯t go back to sleep. Instead, she washed up and went into Gilbert¡¯s room once again. This time, Kisa had secretly decided that no matter how much trouble or humiliation this man created for her, she would remain calm and act as if she didn¡¯t hear his hurtful words. Gilbert was stunned when he saw lier. He did not expect her toe over. ¡°What? You couldn¡¯t help it? Do you want your phone back to call that boy toy of yours?¡± Kisa went straight to the coffee table without saying a word. She picked up the medical kit and walked toward him. Gilbert frowned as he stared at her suspiciously. ¡°What are you doing?¡± he asked. ¡°Changing the dressing for your wound,¡± she replied. Her expressionless face made him even more suspicious of lier intentions. ¡°You? Helping with my wound? That¡¯s mighty kind of you,¡± Gilbert stared at Kisa¡¯s submissive look. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, no matter how much you try to please me, you¡¯re not getting your phone back, and you¡¯re definitely not getting out,¡± he snorted. Kisa ignored hisment and took a pair of scissors and some rubbing alcohol from the medical kit. ¡°Take your nightwear off,¡± she said. Gilbert did not budge, so she reached out to unbutton his cor. Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. His face sank. He subconsciously raised his hand to push her away, but his hand froze midair when he smelled her faint scent. She then pulled his nightwear down to his waist, picked up the pair of scissors, and carefully removed the gauze from his wound. She hoped for nothing more than for Gilbert to get better soon so she would not have to take care of liim anymore. Tasu C 1111 While Kisa delicately treated his wound, she was unaware that she was almost pressing her head against his chest. Gilbert looked down and saw the top of her head; she had beautiful hair. Each strand of her hair that swept across his chest was as soft as a feather. 1 Unable to help himsell, Gilbert raised hisnd to stroke her hair, but just as his fingers were about to do so, a sound of teasing came from the door. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 88 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 88 Chapter 88 It Seems Like I Came at The Wrong Time ¡°Oh, it seems like I came at the wrong time.¡± As if he was being spied on, Gilbert pushed Kisa away from him instantly. Kisa, concentrating on treating his wound, fell onto the bed,pletely stunned and embarrassed. Kelvin, who was standing at the door, saw the scene in front of him and smiled. Gilbert could not contain his anger when he saw his smile, ¡°Do you not know how to knock?!¡± Kelvin walked into the room with one hand holding a medical kit and the other in his pocket.¡± Knocking seems unnecessary when the door¡¯s wide open.¡± ¡°Who sent you here? I didn¡¯t call for you,¡± Gilbert said as he red at him with a stern face. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. ¡°She did,¡± Kelvin replied while he pouted at Kisa, who was getting up from the bed. ¡°She frantically called mest night and said you had a high fever. She asked me toe over immediately, but I could not, so here I am today.¡± Kisa scoffed at his words, ¡°Me? Frantic? As if.¡± Kelvin ignored her and looked over Gilbert¡¯s chest wound. ¡°Tsk, this wound needs a woman¡¯s gentle touch to heal. Look, it¡¯s already healed a lot after she took care of it for only one night.¡± ¡°Are you done?¡± Gilbert could not stand him anymore, so he grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. Kelvinughed as he dodged the pillow. Meanwhile, Kisa ignored them, got up, and continued treating the wound. However, Gilbert looked at Kelvin and muttered, ¡°You do it.¡± Kelvin almost spat out the water he was drinking after hearing that. ¡°You must be crazy. Why do you want me to treat your wound when there¡¯s already a woman doing it? We both know you scream and comin about my heavy hand when I treat your wounds. But it seerns like she¡¯s treating you well; I haven¡¯t heard a peep from you so far.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face became gloomy as if Kelvin had revealed his embarrassing secrets. ¡°Are you going to do it or not?¡± ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯ll do it. Rx, or you¡¯ll rupture the wound, and someone¡¯s going to be extremely worried again,¡± Kelvin said as he nced at Kisa. Though, she remained expressionless. Gilbert was affected by this, but he could onlysh out at Kelvin, ¡°Shut up, or I¡¯ll lock you up in here, and you won¡¯t be able to see your sweetheart for days.¡± Kelvin immediately shut his mouth and walked over to treat Gilbert¡¯s wound. Kisa also hoped Kelvin would help out so she would have time to rest. Immediately after she sat on the sofa, Kelvin nced at her and said, ¡°I¡¯m a little hungry. Why don¡¯t you go down and get me something to eat?¡± Kisa knew he was trying to get her out of there, so she obliged. As soon as she was out of the room. Gilbert pped Kelvin¡¯s hand away and said, ¡°What is it that you want to tell me that you needed that woman out of here?¡± ¡°Heh, was it that obvious?¡± ¡°Even a blind man can see through that.¡± Kelvin put aside all his jokes and said in a serious tone, ¡°It¡¯s about Grandma.¡± Downstairs, Kisa could not find anything for Kelvin to eat since it was already past breakfast time. After thinking about it, she decided to cook a bowl of noodles for him herself. She even put in two eggs to make it more vorful. Not long after, the noodles were done. As she walked out of the kitchen with the bowl of noodles, she bumped into Kelvin. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 89 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Kisa¡¯s Noodles ¡°You came down just in time. I cooked a bowl of noodles for you. You can eat it in the bedroom or in the dining room if you want,¡± said Kisa. ¡°I think I¡¯ll have it in the bedroom,¡± Kelvin replied with a smile. ¡°Alright, here you go,¡± Kisa handed him the bowl of noodles and left. Kelvin stopped her, ¡°Actually, I have a question I¡¯ve always wanted to ask you.¡± Kisa turned around to look at him and asked, ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you hate Gilbert? His wound got infectedst night which caused the fever, but you didn¡¯t have to worry. He could have fended for himself. Why did you-¡°. ¡°How can I prove my innocence to him if he dies? How can I have him kneel before me, asking for repentance? How can I have him beg me to ept treatment from you?¡± Kisa said expressionlessly, as if she no longer had a heart. Kelvin looked at her helplessly, ¡°Are you sure that the time you have left is enough for you to achieve those things?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll try my best.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so stubborn; you know. As long as I can prove to him that you¡¯re really dying, he¡¯ll surely let me begin your treatment.¡± Kisaughed ironically at the sound of that idea, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see how he humiliated me? He even told me that I deserved it if I got sick and died.¡± ¡°Oh, you two¡­¡± ¡°I appreciate your kindness, but please don¡¯t tell him about my condition.¡± Kelvin looked down and stared at the bowl of noodles as he finally sighed, ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Actually, I can disregard Gilbert¡¯s wishes and privately provide Kisa with the treatment she needs. But the truth of everything that happened back then has not fullye to light yet. What¡¯ll happen if I mistake one of the bad guys for one of the good guys? I won¡¯t be able to face Gilbert or Mrs. Kooper Sr. if that happens. It¡¯s best if I wait for Gilbert¡¯s orders. If he wants me to treat her, I will,¡¯ he thought. Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. SLURP, Gilbert could not stand it anymore. As Kelvin finished hisst bite of the noodles, Gilbert shouted, ¡°Can you eat quietly? How am I supposed to rest with you slurping so loudly?¡± ¡°Do I eat loudly?¡± Kelvin innocently looked at Kisa, who was reading the newspaper. ¡°Was I loud?¡± Kisa ignored him and continued reading the news. Kelvin then smiled at Gilbert and said, ¡°See? Kisa didn¡¯t think I was loud. It¡¯s you who are hard to please.¡± ¡°Or¡­ did you want some noodles? It¡¯s too bad that I¡¯ve finished it. There¡¯s still half a bowl of soup left. Do you want it?¡± ¡°Gross!¡± Gilbert eximed as he turned his back toward him. ¡°You sure? Kisa¡¯s the one who cooked it for me. It¡¯s so much better than the ones you buy on the market. Plus, you can¡¯t get them anywhere else,¡± Kelvin said yfully. He tried to stifle hisughter after seeing Gilbert¡¯sck of reaction. ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want it? I¡¯m going to finish it.¡± In the end, Gilbert sat up again and pointed his finger at the door, ¡°Get out.¡± ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll leave once I finish this,¡± Kelvin said before downing the remaining soup. He even licked his lips after finishing everything. ¡°Yum, that was good. I¡¯d have toe over hungry next time.¡± Gilbert frowned while looking at Kelvin. ¡®What is up with him today?¡¯ he wondered. After Kelvin left, Gilbert¡¯s face was ashen as he nced over to Kisa coldly.

Why did you cook for him?¡± ¡°I wanted to,¡± sneered Kisa. Gilbert narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, stop trying to flirt with Kelvin. He has a partner. He¡¯d never fall for you.¡± Kisaughed angrily as she held the newspaper tightly with both hands, wishing to tear it into pieces, ¡®Why would he think that I¡¯m flirting with Kelvin? It was just a bowl of noodles,¡¯ she thought. After reminding herself that her task right now was to look after Gilbert and his wound, she decided to stay quiet. However, Gilbert mistook her silence as an agreement, and he could not control himself, ¡°Don¡¯t even think about flirting with Kelvin. Stop trying to charm him so he can deliver a message to your boy toy. I¡¯m telling you, he has someone he¡¯d give everything for. So stop it.¡± Kisa tried to hold back her anger, but she threw in a few eye rolls here and there. ¡°A man¡¯s imagination can really hold a universe,¡¯ she thought. Kisa put down the newspaper and walked toward Gilbert expressionlessly, ¡°Time for a new gauze.¡± With that said, she helped him take off his nightwear. She knew that he would not be willing to corporate. Thus, she had to do it herself. She did not want him to push her away, but Gilbert had different ns. ¡°Stop trying to please me. Go away.¡± ¡°Why do you always have to act like this? Do you think I want to change your gauze? If you don¡¯t take good care of your wound, it won¡¯t heal, and I¡¯ll be the one who¡¯ll be busyter on.¡± ¡°Why you¡± ¡°I just want you to get better. If you insist that I have bad intentions, then there¡¯s nothing I can do.¡± ¡®I just want you to get better.¡¯ Somehow, Gilbert felt something after hearing those words. He stared at Kisa and did not say anything else. Kisa did not want to argue with him, so she took a pair of scissors and removed his gauze Once again, she was leaning very close to him, and Gilbert was stunned when he smelled the faint scent she emitted. After a long time, Gilbert suddenly remembered what Kelvin had told him and could not help but say, ¡°After the news incident dies down, I¡¯ll bring you to live with Grandma for a bit and let you keep her company.¡± Kisa looked up at him in shock, ¡®Didn¡¯t he think I wanted to hurt Grandma? Why is he willing to let me get close to her now?¡¯ she wondered to herself. Gilbert looked away after he met her shocked eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t be too happy just yet. If I find out that you¡¯ve done something to hurt Grandma, i will never forgive you,¡± he muttered. ¡®Kelvin mentioned that Kisa is very likely to help Grandma wake up. So letting her be with Grandma could increase the possibility of Grandma waking up, and could also test whether she would hurt Grandma.¡¯ Kisa tried to hold back her excitement and continued treating Gilbert¡¯s wound. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡®Of course I¡¯d be willing to apany Grandma. I can¡¯t wait to fly to her side right away. But we still have to wait for the news to die down before we can go, or the reporters will disturb her recovery.¡¯ As Kisa thought of the news incident, she could not help but tell Gilbert, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not the one behind this whole thing. I never revealed my identity to the media at all.¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and said nothing. Kisa was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t believe her, so she continued, ¡°I think that Anthony Mullen is the one behind all this.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 91 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Helping Others After Being yed ¡°Ha!¡± Gilbert sneered. ¡°Why don¡¯t you think Howard is behind it?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem likely.¡± Even though Kisa had been suspicious of him before, Davian¡¯s investigation proved that Howard was not lying. Moreover, he would not have the kind of money needed to bribe the newspaper. Gilbert¡¯s handsome face turned gloomy again after hearing Kisa defend Howard. He pushed away her hand helping him with the gauze, and said, ¡°Go away. I knew you were thinking about that boy toy of yours. He yed you, and you¡¯re still helping him. You¡¯re so dumb.¡± ¡°Why you-¡± Kisa took a few deep breaths in anger. After a long time, she tossed the gauze at him and said coldly, ¡°You can think whatever you want. I¡¯ve told you my opinion, how you want to deal with it is your choice. I hope that you get to the bottom of this quickly so that I can go apany Grandma.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry. Whether or not I get to the bottom of this, a press conference will still be held after three days to end this matter.¡± Kisa tried not to think about it since Gilbert was so confident. ¡®It shouldn¡¯t be difficult for him to settle everything. After all, he¡¯s the CEO of GK Pictures.¡¯ As Kisa was reading a magazine while lying on the sofa, she fell asleep. The room was pitch ck when she woke up. She was stunned when she realized she was in Gilbert¡¯s room. ¡®When was I covered with this nket?¡¯. She sat up with the nket wrapped around her, about to go downstairs to get something to eat, when bursts of painful cries sounded from the bed. Her heart sank immediately. ¡®Does he have a fever again?¡¯ she thought. ¡®If this goes on, when will his injury heal? When will I be free?¡¯ ¡°Why is it you? ¡°No¡­ Why¡­? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. ¡°Why are you doing this?¡± Kisa turned on themp that was at the head of the bed. Under the soft light was a man who seemed to have fallen into a terrible nightmare. He was mumbling and had a painful expression on his face. Kisa reached out to touch his forehead, and thankfully it was not hot. Just when she was about to withdraw her hand, Gilbert suddenly grabbed it and muttered in a daze, ¡°Don¡¯t leave me¡­ Don¡¯t¡­¡± He held onto her hand so tightly that she tried to break free several times but could not. She then sat helplessly by the bed, looking at Gilbert¡¯s sad and fragile state, wondering what he was dreaming about that was so scary for a CEO like him. After she sat beside the bed, Gilbert started to calm down gradually. The pain on his face started to ease up. Then, he seemed to have had a good dream as the corner of his lips began to curl upward. ¡®I have to say, his smile is charming. It radiates sunshine and makes people feel like it too. If only he were like this every day¡­¡¯ she thought to herself. Kisa tried to break free again after seeing the man ease up. However, she realized that Gilbert¡¯s brows furrowed whenever she moved, and his hands clenched onto hers even tighter. It was like he was afraid of her leaving. Kisa could not help but smile bitterly, ¡®He must be mistaking me as Sara again.¡¯ The next morning, Gilbert woke up to the feeling of something pressing on his right arm. He frowned and saw that it was Kisa sleeping on his arm. At first, he was startled. However, the corners of his lips curled upward after a long while. Her brows were tight even in her sleep, as if something was bothering her. Gilbert stared at her for a long time. Suddenly, he reached out his hands, wanting to smoothen her frown when the maid brought in some breakfast. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 92 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 92 Chapter 92 You Thought I Was Sara Again Gilbert quickly held his finger to his mouth so the maid would not wake Kisa, but she still awoke. She straightened hersell, unaware that her tiny hands were still wrapped in Gilbert¡¯s palms. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± she asked. Maybe it was because she had just woken up, and her head was still confused between love and hatred, Gilbert, however, was wide awake. He pulled away his hands and looked away.¡± Nothing,¡± he replied. Kisa looked at her hands, then at his cold shoulder, and stood up, ¡°Don¡¯t get it wrong. You¡¯re the one who wanted mest night. You thought I was Sara again.¡± Gilbert was annoyed after hearing her words. He snorted and did not say a word. Kisa was hungry and could smell the breakfast the maid brought in. She did not want to exin herself further, so she said, ¡°I¡¯ll change your gauze after I finish breakfast.¡± She brought the breakfast to the bedside table and began eating. Gilbert looked at the same breakfast he had every day and thought of the noodles Kisa had cooked for Kelvin yesterday. He stared at her and snorted. Kisa was hungry but could not eat any faster because her stomach could not handle it. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. She was licking her fingers, but she could feel a cold yet hot gaze staring at her. It started to make her feel ufortable. She looked up and saw Gilbert¡¯s sullen look, in which she could not help but say, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why¡¯re you in a bad mood so early in the morning?¡± ¡°Is breakfast nice?¡± Gilbert asked. Kisa did not understand why he was asking her that, but she nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± ¡°You seem to be very hungry. Here, you can eat mine,¡± Gilbert said casually. Kisa hesitated for a while, then asked, ¡°Are you not eating?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been eating the same breakfast these past few days. How can anyone eat the same thing every day?!¡± ¡®If you¡¯re a picky eater, just say so,¡¯ Kisa thought, but she still went and grabbed Gilbert¡¯s portion to the bedside table. Gilbert grabbed the magazine beside him and ignored Kisa. After Kisa finished her food, Gilbert slowly opened his mouth and said, ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± Kisa was stunned. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you¡¯re not eating?¡± she asked. ¡°I¡¯m hungry,¡± Gilbert repeated as he closed the magazine. Kisa looked at each of the half-eaten food on the te in front of her and embarrassedly said, ¡°I¡¯ve eaten half of everything here. M-Maybe¡­ Y-You¡­ Oh, forget it. I¡¯ll go ask the servant to make you a new one.¡± ¡°Do you think they have nothing else to do? You¡¯re not doing anything right now, anyway. Can¡¯t you go make me breakfast?¡± Gilbert said as he tossed the magazine aside angrily. ¡°I can¡¯t cook,¡± Kisa refused. She had tried cooking for him before, but he never bothered to take a bite. He had always acted as if she would poison him with her food. ¡°Can¡¯t cook? Ha. What about the noodles you made for Kelvin the other day? Do you really not know how to cook, or do you just not want to cook for me?¡± ¡°Why you¡­¡± Kisa was mad. This man finds fault in everything I do! She tried to calm the raging fire in her heart and muttered, ¡°Okay, wait here.¡± ¡®It¡¯s just a bowl of noodles, no big deal.¡¯ However, when she brought the steaming bowl of noodles to him, Gilbert¡¯s face turned dark. She angrily put the bowl of noodles on the bedside table and said, ¡°What is it that you want?¡± ¡®This doesn¡¯t work for you, and that doesn¡¯t work. You really are so hard to please!!!! At tlie same time, Kelvin came over. He nced at the bowl of noodles andughed, ¡°Do you really not know what he¡¯s angry about?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 93 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 93 Chapter 93 How Unfair Kisa did not speak. ¡°There¡¯s no other reason than Gilbert just toying with me.¡¯ Gilbert¡¯s indifference was also stered on his face. Both of them were silent. On the other hand, Kelvin wasughing inside. He turned to Kisa and said, ¡°You always cook nd noodles for Gilbert, yet you put in two eggs for me yesterday. Why didn¡¯t you put them in today? That¡¯s what lie¡¯s mad about.¡± ¡°That¡¯s only because I didn¡¯t want him to have difficulty digesting eggs because of his injuries, ¡± Kisa blurted out angrily. ¡°Hey, that means you¡¯re looking out for him,¡± Kelvin said. ¡°Of course I am. I look forward to his speedy recovery.¡± ¡°Oh¡­So that¡¯s the case.¡± Kelvin turned to Gilbert and smiled. Gilbert was ufortable with Kelvin¡¯sughter that he could not help but shout at him,¡± What kind of nonsense are you spewing? Get out!¡± ¡°Hmph, nonsense?

Kelvin could not stopughing Kisa did not want to participate in their games, so she sat on the sofa reading the newspaper the maid had brought in. The headlines these few days had been the same. The media were writing more and inore exaggerated content. Tons of guesses had also been reported. She and Howard had been trending in the top searches online every day. The news had yet to die down. Instead, it had steadily increased. ¡®I don¡¯t know how Gilbert is going to handle this. Sharon and Davian came over in the afternoon while Kisa was changing Gilbert¡¯s gauze. When Sharon saw how close Kisa and Gilbert were, her face turned dark. However, she quickly adjusted her emotions and asked Gilbert softly, ¡°Gilbert, is your injury getting better?¡± ¡°Thanks to Mrs. Kooper¡¯s care for the past few days, Mr. Kooper¡¯s injury is almost fully healed, ¡°said Davian before Gilbert could reply. Sharon immediately frowned and stared at Kisa. She then smiled and said, ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s you who has been taking care of Gilbert. That¡¯s a bummer. Anyway, the news is everywhere these days, Howard Mullen has been trending. If you show more of yourself in front of the media, you¡¯ll surely be on the A- list!¡± Kisa ignored her snidements and carefully reapplied the gauze to Gilbert¡¯s injury. Sharon suddenly sighed again, as if pitying how unfair it was for her sister, ¡°You¡¯ve worked so hard, sis. How could you do it all just for Howard Mullen? Do you really love him more than you love yourself? ¡°Are you done?¡± Kisa said as she looked at her coldly. She did not expect Gilbert to push her away and say, ¡°Get out.¡± Kisa felt wronged as she stared at his cold expression. ¡®Of course, he believed Sharon¡¯s words again. Why does he believe everyone but me? It¡¯s so unfair.¡¯ ¡°I said get out.¡± Sharon looked sad, but in reality, she was happy. ¡°Come on, Gilbert, don¡¯t act like that. My sister took her time of the day to care for you.¡± Unable to stand Sharon¡¯s act, Kisa got up quietly and walked outside. As soon as she walked away, Sharon rushed up to Gilbert and said, ¡°Let me help you.¡± ¡°No.¡± Gilbert pushed her hand away.

She rubbed her hands together and stood for a while. ¡°Gilbert, the media has started attacking GK Pictures froin the news incident. They said that GK Pictures instructed Kisa to orchestrate the whole thing to promote the Goddess of My Adoration drama series and thepany.¡± ¡°These media people should really stop.

If you admit that she is your wife, wouldn¡¯t that create more opportunities for them to say that she had an affair with Howard Mullen? Both you and GK Pictures would be aughingstock.¡± Davian also disagreed with this approach, but he decided to keep quiet. ¡°I just want to prove her identity. No one would write anything anymore without solid evidence.¡± ¡°Even if the media stops writing about it, rumors would still be circting,¡± Sharon said anxiously. ¡°This is all my sister¡¯s fault. She¡¯s the one who created such a big ck hole by hyping up Howard Mullen. All the me should be put on her. Let¡¯s say that she¡¯s the one who pretended to be the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO just to create clout.¡± ¡°Besides, you also rified to the media the other day, saying she was just a maid in the Kooper family. Wouldn¡¯t you be shooting yourself in the foot by restoring her status as the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO? The media would bash you and thepany even harder for this.¡± ¡°Enough. I¡¯ve made my decision.¡± Sharon was jealous and dissatisfied when she saw Gilbert¡¯s determination with his n. ¡®He even disregarded his reputation and GK Pictures¡¯s reputation just to protect Kisa. Once that woman regains her identity as the GK Pictures¡¯s CEO¡¯s wife, the media would not dare to write about her anymore, nor would they dare to embarrass her. But that also meant they wouldn¡¯t let Gilbert and GK Pictures¡¯s go that easily. And to think that he doesn¡¯t care about all that?!¡¯ In a secluded farm was Sharon, who angrily smashed the cup that was on the table. ¡°Why does Gilbert care so much about that ugly b*tch?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this better? As long as he admits that the woman is his wife, it proves that he lied to the media that day. This will greatly impact his and the company¡¯s reputation,¡± Anthony sneered. ¡°What¡¯s so good about that?!¡± Sharon¡¯s face twisted in anger. ¡°He just wants to protect that b* tch from being hurt by the media. Tell me, how could someone like her compare to someone like me? Why would he want to protect her like this?¡± Anthony went to her side, raised her chin, and smiled frivolously. ¡°Why are you angry? Look at you. The charming star has lost her charming attitude.¡± ¡°I asked you to intervene in this matter so that woman would be pushed to the forefront. I wanted everyone to condemn her. This was not what I wanted,¡± Sharon said as she waved his hand away. Anthony spread his hands and smiled wickedly, ¡°It was Gilbert who wasn¡¯t cooperating. If he¡¯d just insisted that she was just his servant, everything you wanted woulde true. Everyone would think that she¡¯s just a servant who pretended to be the CEO¡¯s wife, But too bad he¡¯s too fond of her.¡± This made Sharon even angrier. Anthony put his hands in his pockets and smiled, ¡°I think that this is not a bad result for us. I did not expect Gilbert Kooper to be the infatuated type.¡± As Sharon heard this, her nails sunk into the table. Her eyes were full of jealousy and hatred. She could not let that woman live a better life than her. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Kisa¡¯s phone kept ringing at night. The caller ID showed that it was Davian. Seeing that Kisa was in the bathroom, Gilbert hesitated for a while, but he answered the phone anyway. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 95 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Still Lying After all, Davian was his assistant, so there¡¯s nothing that cannot be answered on Kisa¡¯s phone. ¡°Hello, Mrs. Kooper. Mr. Kooper will attend the press conference the day after tomorrow. You must take good care of him tonight and tomorrow.

We¡¯ve signed a contract, remember? If you don¡¯t look after Mr. Kooper, I won¡¯t help you anymore,¡± said Davian angrily after not receiving a response. ¡°Contract?

She dried her hair and went to get the medical kit. ¡°Time to change your gauze. You¡¯ll need to go to bed earlier today. One more day of rest and your wound shouldn¡¯t be a problem to you anymore.¡± Gilbert kept quiet. His expressionless face made it impossible to tell what he was feeling. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Kisa took off his nightwear, picked up a pair of scissors, and skillfully removed the gauze from his chest. His wounds had begun to scab over after several days of care. Kisa first disinfected his wound with rubbing alcohol. Then, she dipped a cotton swab in some ointment and rubbed a thinyer of it on his wound. Gilbert stared at her for a long time until he asked in a low voice, ¡°Why were you taking such good care of me these past few days?¡± ¡°What?¡± Kisa looked up at him subconsciously. ¡°I said, why were you taking care of me these past few days?¡± Kisa looked away and continued to treat his wound. ¡°Why are you asking so many ¡®whys?¡± ¡°It¡¯s because you stabbed me with a knife, and you feel guilty, so you volunteered to take care of me, hoping that I will get better soon, right?¡± Kisa frowned, ¡®What¡¯s up with him today? Why is he asking so many questions? There is no 1 . way that I¡¯m telling him I signed a contract with Davian. He¡¯ll surely intervene and stop Davian from helping me.¡¯ After some thought, she nodded. Suddenly, Gilbert grabbed the medical kit and smashed it to the ground. Kisa was shocked, ¡°Are you crazy?!¡± ¡°Is it not because you signed a contract with Davian?¡± Kisa looked at him in shock. ¡®How does he know? Did Davian tell him?¡¯ ¡°I was grateful for your care these past few days, Kisa Becker. But it turns out that everything you do is intentional and has a motive behind it.¡± ¡°How could I forget? You are a selfish, scheming, vicious woman. You¡¯d never do business without it benefiting you. And I thought you¡¯d gained a conscience, hah.¡± Gilbert¡¯s words struck her nerves again and again. She grabbed the nket tightly and sneered, ¡°Yes! Everything I do, I do with intention! Shouldn¡¯t you know by now? Why would I evere and look after you if I didn¡¯t gain something from it?¡± ¡°Get out!¡± Gilbert raised his hand and mmed Kisa to the ground. ¡°Get the hell out of here!¡± Kisa struggled to get back up, but she stared at Gilbert fiercely, ¡°I¡¯m taking care of you no matter what. It¡¯s a fact that you¡¯re already getting better. You are not to interfere with our agreement.¡± ¡°GET! OUT!¡± Gilbert pointed at the door, trembling with anger. Kisa did not want to stay any longer, so she turned around and walked out of there.

He stared at her thin face with a sneer and said each word clearly, ¡°Howard Mullen will be ruined by me.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Kisa frowned and asked. ¡°He¡¯s involved in the news event anyway. You know what will happen by ying up with the name of GK CEO¡¯s wife, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not his fault!

A ss was thrown out and shattered beside her legs after she stepped out. She was stunned for a while. Then she returned quickly to her room. ¡®Gilbert is an emotional maniac. I have taken care of him anyway. Why does he have to get irritated? Is my contract with Davian Park still in effect?¡¯ Kisa went to Gilbert¡¯s room with a te of pasta the next morning. There was not only egg in the pasta but also bacon. Yet she was kicked out by Gilbert immediately when she entered. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. She came across Davian outside Gilbert¡¯s room. After ncing at the pasta, Davian showed an unreadable expression. Kisa did not expect Gilbert to call him in when she was about to ask why he had told Gilbert about the contract. She had no choice but to wait outside. Sharon came while waiting. ¡°Hey, Kisa. Why are you holding a te of pasta here? Get in there. ¡°Why should I? The air is fresher here, and we¡¯re different. I don¡¯t want to stay with Gilbert all the time.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Sharon was mad. She looked at the te of pasta suddenly. ¡°Why is nobody eating the pasta? Is it because Gilbert rejected the pasta you cooked for him?¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t for him,¡± Kisa snorted and ate the pasta slowly. Sharon looked at her furiously. Then she went into Gilbert¡¯s room. Davian came out after she finished all the pasta. But Davian looked at her with a moreplicated expression, which made her feel restless. She grabbed Davian and said, ¡°Follow me. I have something to talk about with you.¡± Kisa did not expect Davian to refuse her when she was about to take Davian to her room to talk about the contract. ¡°Ma¡¯am, I¡¯ve got something urgent to do now. Let¡¯s talk about it another time.¡± Davian left hastily after he said this. Kisa felt oven more restless when she saw Davian scurry away. ¡®Is my contract with Davian really ineffective now? But I still need Davian¡¯s help to figure out what really happened in the past.¡¯ Sharon came out of Gilbert¡¯s room shortly after Davian. She was smirking with satisfaction. She looked at Kisa with a lypocritical look of sympathy. Kisa frowned when she saw sharon¡¯s expression. She could not heip but feel restless when she thought of Davian¡¯s unreadable expression. ¡°Oh! Gilbert hates seeing you. You¡¯d better stay away from him.¡± Sharon wriggled her slender waist as she said. ¡°I¡¯m going to make Gilbert breakfast. Get out of the way!¡± she said, proud as a peacock, and purposely bumped Kisa aside. LT kisa did not want to argue with her. She went back to her room quietly. She was restless for the whole day due to Davian¡¯s unreadable expression and Sharon¡¯s hypocritical look of sympathy. 11 She was even more nervous until she could not sleep well at night when she thought of the news conference tomorrow. She kept feeling something bad would happen tomorrow. She finally made it to the next morning. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door after she had washed up. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 97 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 97 Chapter 97 She Is Not My Wife Kisa opened the door and saw Davian standing outside. ¡°It is time for the press conference, Ma¡¯am.¡± ¡°How about Gilbert?¡± She asked. In response, he said, ¡°Mr. Kooper is waiting for you downstairs.¡± ¡°That¡¯s early,¡¯ Kisa thought in shock. As she walked down the stairs, she could not help but ask, ¡°Our deal is still on, right? I did my part, but he didn¡¯t want me to take care of him.¡± ¡°Understood, Ma¡¯am. The deal is still on,¡± Davian replied. Upon hearing this, Kisa rxed. Davian could only look at her with guilt and sympathy. Confused, Kisa wanted to ask more. However, they had already reached the front yard. She saw Gilbert smoking a cigarette while leaning on the front of the car. ¡®Why is he smoking when he just recovered?¡¯ she thought. She wanted to say something to Gilbert, but no words woulde out. She knew that Gilbert would insult and humiliate her if she spoke. ¡°Mrs. Kooper is here, sir,¡± Davian said. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Gilbert put out his cigarette and replied coldly, ¡°There isn¡¯t a Mrs. Kooper, so watch your tongue during the press conference.¡± ¡°Yes, sir,¡± Davian replied instantly. He then looked at Kisa sympathetically. Kisa¡¯s heart raced under Davian¡¯s sympathetic gaze. She asked Gilbert, ¡°What do you n to do at the press conference?¡± Gilbert answered coldly, ¡°You¡¯ll know when it happens.¡± The press conference was held in a huge open area. Despite arriving earlier than nned, the reporters arrived even earlier inrge groups. The constant shesing from their cameras were blinding. Meanwhile, the noises of the people chattering and cameras clicking together were enough to make one¡¯s head spin. As soon as Gilbert and Kisa entered, the reporters rushed toward them. The swarm of reporters shoved their way toward them, causing Kisa¡¯s frail body to almost fall down. Fortunately, the bodyguards managed to separate the reporters from Kisa and Gilbert. After that, they escorted Kisa and Gilbert to their seats. Howard had arrived and was seated at the far end of the table. Oddly, Sharon was also at the conference; and seated in the middle. ¡°Gilbert, you¡¯re here,¡± Sharon eximed. Then, she dragged Gilbert to the seat beside her, she did not see her actions as taboo. In that instant, the reporters took even more pictures. Gilbert did not refuse Sharon¡¯s hand and sat down next to her. In the eyes of the media, this was once again another story of how the two were a match made in heaven. Meanwhile, Kisa randomly chose a seat and sat down. As everyone was seated, the room quieted down. Davian spoke first,¡± in regards to the new in question, Mr. Kooper has made this press conference to clear up a few things. We hope that after this, all media outlets will refrain from writing any articles that would nder GK Pictures.

Please give us an exnation.¡± Amidst the crowd, Anthony stared yfully at Gilbert. His eyes were cold and sinister as he thought, ¡®Let¡¯s see if this would take you down. Calmly, Gilbert looked back at the reporters in front of him and said in a clear tone, ¡°She is not my wife. My wife died five years ago in prison.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 98 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Anthony¡¯s Revenge Anthony¡¯s sinister smile froze. ¡®What happened? Didn¡¯t Sharon say Gilbert would admit in front of the press that the woman was the wife of GK¡¯S CEO? Howe he suddenly denied it?! The moment Gilbert said that, amotion started at the scene. After everyone had finally quieted down, someone asked another question. ¡°What proof does Mr. Kooper have that she isn¡¯t your wife?¡± ¡°Do I need to prove it?¡± Gilbert looked at the reporter under the stage and chuckled. ¡°Don¡¯t I recognize my wise?¡± He was clearly smiling, but the icy look in his eyes made the reporter not dare to question him anymore. After a moment of silence, someone else asked a question. ¡°There is a rumor that Miss Watson and Howard are paid and the entire thing is staged because you want to promote GK Pictures and its drama. How do you exin that, Mr. Kooper? Gilbertughed and said casually, ¡°Do you think with the strength of GK Pictures, there is a need to use this kind of dirty tricks to hype mypany and the drama? How stupid am I to risk my and my wife¡¯s reputation, or you the ones who are stupid? I can¡¯t believe that you even asked me such a question.¡± ¡°Absolutely. Everyone is aware of GK Pictures¡¯s strength. I, Sharon, guarantee with my reputation today that Mr. Koopers not used such tactics to hype things up.¡± Sharon spoke softly and firmly, as if the two of them were there for each other in weal and woe. One was a CEO, the other was an international superstar; the reporters dared not question their words, and instead diverted their questions at Kisa, who had said nothing so far. ¡°Miss Watson, may I ask why you are impersonating the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO? Are you doing this to hype yourself up so you can be a star?¡± Kisa clutched her hands, not knowing how to answer. If she denied she was kisa, it would confirm their im that she was impersonating the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO, and the media would have a field day. But if she firmly admitted that she was kisa, it would be a p in Gilbert¡¯s face. ¡°Miss Watson, please answer why you are pretending to be the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO, and deliberately have an affair with Howard?¡± N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. ¡°I didn¡¯t. I didn¡¯t impersonate the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO, nor did I have an affair with Howard.¡± Kisa could only answer in this way when facing the reporters¡¯ questions. But those reporters would not give up easily. They scrambled to ask more questions. ¡°Mr. Kooper has already rified that you are not his wife, but you firmly revealed to the media that you are the wise of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO. What is this if not a fake?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t. I revealed nothing to the media. Someone ndered me.¡± ¡°Then may I ask, Miss Watson, is there any evidence to prove that someone ndered you?¡± At that moment, a man pointed at her and said, ¡°Miss Watson, you were the one who came to our newspaper office that day and said you were the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO. Have you forgotten?¡± Kisa looked toward the voice and saw Anthony, who was not far away. Anthony was also looking at her with a grim, yful smile. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a chill creeping up her spine. It turned out that this was all Anthony¡¯s doing, and she knew he would not leave her alone. But one thing she never expected was that Anthony woulde all the way from Athadale to Calthon to get back at her. ¡°Miss Watson, someone has already proved that it was you who leaked the news to the media. How can you still defend yourself?¡± ¡°Miss Watson, please answer. What is your intention of impersonating the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO?¡± ¡°Miss Watson, please answer.¡± ¡°Miss Watson.¡± Facing the reporters¡¯ questions, Kisa clutched the corner of her coat, unable to utter a single word.

The reason is so simple. Can¡¯t you all figure it out?¡± What Gilbert said caused an uproar again. Kisa still clutched the corner of her coat and stared at him incredulously, her scarlet eyes welling up. In her teary eyes, she saw the side of the man¡¯s cold, heartless face. ¡®He is putting all the me on me and letting the media grill and shaine me, isn¡¯t he?¡¯ ¡°Miss Watson, is what Mr. Kooper said true?¡± ¡°If what Mr. Kooper said is true, then what is Howard¡¯s rtionship with you?¡± ¡°Do you want to hype Howard up besides yourself by staging such a show?¡± ¡°Or is it that Howard and you are working together and staging this act with the purpose of hyping each other up?¡± ¡°Miss Watson, may I ask if Howard and you are having an affair? You impersonated Mrs. Kooper to hype Howard up, didn¡¯t you?¡± The reporters down the stage, one by one, aggressively hurled questions at her. Kisa felt her head buzzing and almost broke down. But Gilbert just watched the whole thing indifferently. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. At that moment, Howard shouted at the reporters, ¡°Stop hounding her! She is just a weak, skinny, poor woman. This news event is just an ident. She didn¡¯t n it at all. She isn¡¯t that ambitious.¡± As Howard came to her defense, the reporters turned their attention to him again. ¡°Howard, is it true that you have an affair with Miss Watson, as the rumors say, since you have been defending her so ardently?¡± ¡°Then all this drama that she has been staging is actually for you, right?¡± Howard replied tly, ¡°It is just a rumor. I know Miss Watson, but there is nothing hanky panky between us. I didn¡¯t even know that the media would be there to take pictures of us when I saved her in the snow. There is no hype.¡± ¡°Then how could it be such a coincidence?¡± ¡°Absolutely. It has been confirmed that the press captured the moment because Miss Watson had leaked it to the media in advance. With your rtionship with Miss Watson, no one would believe you if you said you weren¡¯t involved in this incident.¡± Facing the reporters¡¯ questions, Howard spread out his hands helplessly. ¡°Since you all don¡¯t believe me, let¡¯s just assume that this incident is my doing. I had the reporters lying in wait at the scene in advance, and I did all the things alone. Please don¡¯t disturb Miss Watson anymore. She is not feeling well.¡± Gilbert stared at him with cold eyes, the hands on his knees slowly clenching. Davian saw this and sighed. ¡®Mr. Kooper is really odd. He not only refuses to help Mrs. Kooper but also isn¡¯t too happy when otherse to Mrs. Kooper¡¯s defense.¡± Kisa looked at Howard in shock. She did not expect Howard, a public figure, to take all the me in front of the media. The thought of her suspecting him before made her feel guilty. ¡°That can¡¯t be right, Howard. Someone has just testified that it was Miss Watson who leaked it to the media.

It was pure coincidence that the media photographed him. I deliberately asked the media toe up with a headline like that to attract attention and exaggerate the hype, and dragged Howard into this.

I would like to ask you all not to write any more about it and not to nder Mr. Kooper and GK Pictures. Otherwise, we will see you in court,¡± Davian said, and hurriedly followed Gilbert to leave. Kisa was left surrounded by reporters. Sitting in the car, Davian nced at the sullen Gilbert and asked cautiously, ¡°Are you going to leave Mrs. Kooper here?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you see her defending that man at every turn, even though she was in trouble?¡± Davian pursed his lips and said nothing.

Kisa instantly grabbed her wrist and snickered. ¡°Even if Gilbert is heartless to me, even if my life is in the doldrums, you will never get what I have gotten.¡± ¡°B*tch.¡± The words hit her where it hurt. Sharon pulled her hand back hard and kicked Kisa to the ground, then stomped on the back of her hand and cursed viciously. ¡°Who the hell are you? What makes you better than me?

But she did not seem to hear them, even when some of them viciously hurled things at her or deliberately bumped her to the ground. As if she did not feel them, Kisa got up and kept walking. She wanted to take a taxi back to the Kooper residence, but no one was willing to take her, as if they would also be ridiculed and abused if they were seen involved with her. ¡°Are you blind or something? Or have you gone crazy trying to be the wife of a CEO?¡± An obese woman deliberately knocked her down and sarcastically used her of being evil. Kisa slumped down at the trash can, and the people gathered around and pointed at her either with a smirk or a curse. Kisa stared silently at their mockingughter with a touch of irony at the corners of her lips. It turned out that it was not just Gilbert who was heartless, but the world was equally compassionless.

But she realized she did not deserve it as she had not found out what had happened back then and so did not have the right to cry. It was not until dark that Kisa arrived back at the Kooper residence gate. George saw her look like a wretch and wanted to say something. In the end, he still said nothing but sighed silently. Kisa dragged her aching body slowly into the house when she bumped into Davian.

Watch, I can just do the same to you.¡® She chuckled and said, ¡°Right, just as you said, I will defend him, no matter what.¡± Gilbert narrowed his eyes, his hand trembling with anger as he gripped her cor.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. But the more furious he was, the more euphoric Kisa felt. ¡°And just as you said, he is much better than you. That is why I¡®m dead set on him, and you are nothing. I so damn regret to set you up, to climb into your bed, and to touch you. You make me sick.¡± ¡°Kisa!¡± Gilbert hissed abruptly, yanking her and pressing her hard against the desk. ¡°What did you say? I dare you say it again.¡± Gilbert spelled out his words, his suppressed anger like a taut string, ready to explode. Kisa looked at him in his extreme anger andughed. ¡°I said you are no match for him. You make me sick¡± ¡°B*tch!¡± Gilbert cursed and lost control of himself as he frantically tugged at her clothes.¡± You think I¡®m disgusting, do you? Heh, I¡®m not as good as him? I will show you now...¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± Realizing what the man was about to do, Kisa panicked and fought back desperately. ¡°Let go of me, Gilbert. Let go of me.¡± But he was like apletely enraged beast. No matter how much she resisted, it was useless. The sound of her clothes tearing sent her into panic. But the harder she struggled, the more Gilbert thought she wanted to keep her body for that man. This thought made his eyes red and caused him to rip her clothes apart even more frantically. Just then, he felt a stinging pain at the base of his neck. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 104 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 104 Chapter 104 She Said She Regretted It The man¡®s action and the woman¡®s struggles stopped at once. Kisa stared in panic at the blood stained on her nails, trembling involuntarily. Gilbert reached for the painful scratch marks on his neck and then raised his hand to p her. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Kisa felt something shatter inside her, apanied by that loud p. That something shattered into pieces and there was no way to put it back together again. She smiled and looked into his scarlet eyes. ¡°You are just not as good as him.¡± Perhaps because of his anger or something, the hand that he hit her with kept shaking. He pulled her to the floor and roared in a suppressed voice, ¡°Get out!¡± Kisa stood up, gritting her teeth against the excruciating pain in her body. She pulled her tattered clothes to cover her body with tears bursting from her eyes. ¡°Gilbert, I hate you.¡± She walked slowly outside without looking back. Until Kisa was out of the door, Gilbert suddenly and furiously swept all the papers off the table. He propped up one hand on the table, one hand on the waist, and sneered. ¡®She said she regretted it, regretting climbing into my bed. She was the one who set me up, who made everything turn out this way, who ruined our rtionship and brought us to this point. And who is she to say she regrets it?¡® As soon as Kisa returned to her room, she hastily locked the door. Before she could turn around, she vomited a mouthful of blood and then slumped, sitting helplessly against the door on the floor, then covered her mouth and whimpered in pain. She still felt hot and sore on her face from the p, and her body hurt like it was falling apart. Kisa asked herself repeatedly in her mind what she had done wrong for that man to do this to her. But it would never be answered because that man never needed a reason to humiliate her. Her whimpers were suppressed in the dark and silent room. After a short period of crying, Kisa regained her usual indifference and calmness. She quietly looked at the puddle of blood she had just vomited and let out a self¨Cdeprecating and sometimes bitter smile. She felt it fortunate that Gilbert did not see her vomit blood, or else he would have suspected her of carrying a blood bag and ridiculed her. It was just that the condition of her body was getting harder and harder to control, and the medication she usually took was no longer effective. She knew she had to find a way to stabilize her condition for the time being. Otherwise, she could do nothing with a body that would fail at any moment. She did not want her condition to deteriorate in front of Gilbert. She wanted zero possibility of that happening. The next day, Kelvin looked at the cold¨Cfaced woman in front of him and smiled yfully.¡± You areing to say hello to me, are you?¡± Kisa took a look at the house, which was a duplex vi, not as grand as the Kooper residence, but it was cozy all over. A woman came over with pastries and drinks. The woman¡®s name was Gracie Bet, Kelvin¡®s woman. She had long hair, a delicate face, and a sweet, lovely smile, just like her name. She put the pastry and drink in front of Kisa. ¡°I made this myself. Try it.¡± She was friendly. It had been a long time since Kisa had been treated so gently, so she said, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°You¡®re wee. I will leave you guys to it.¡± Gracie smiled. She was understanding and went out to the garden Kisa looked at the woman as she went, and then at Kelvin¡®s blissful face, thinking, ¡®This is about what falling in love looks like, warm and serene, to the point of envy.¡® Kelvin looked at her for a while and smiled. ¡°You didn¡®te here today to beg me to heal you, did you? Actually,¡± ¡°No.¡± Kisa interrupted him before Kelvin could finish. ¡°I¡®m here to ask you for a favor, but not to heal me.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 105 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 105 Chapter 105 Asking For Medication Kelvin frowned. ¡°If you are not asking me to heal you, then you¨C.¡± ¡°I would like to ask you to prescribe me some wonder drug.¡± Kisa stared at his surprised look and slowly said, ¡°The painkiller I took isn¡®t effective anymore. I could not buy wonder drugs from the drugstore, and the hospital wouldn¡®t prescribe me. But I know you must have a way.¡± Kelvin¡®s expression turned grave upon hearing that. ¡°You have to know, wonder drugs have an excellent effect in relieving pain, but it is extremely damaging to the body, not to mention it is addictive. You already have less than a year left, and you will only have about six months left if you take this medication.¡± ¡°It doesn¡®t matter.¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Faced with impending death, Kisa was calm and somewhat perverse. ¡°I can do many things in half a year. If not taking this medication, I may copse at any time, and I will feel annoyed with myself and Gilbert will shame and humiliate me.¡± ¡°Could it be that you have misunderstood him? He treats you this way because he doesn¡®t know that you are dying.¡± Kelvin tried tofort her. He did not like her before, but now he felt she had changed, bing deserving of love and pity. But the truth of five years ago had not been uncovered, and since she was still the biggest suspect who hurt Gilbert¡®s grandmother, he did not dare to treat her. This ambivalence made Kelvin feel bad. In fact, he hoped Gilbert would know about this woman¡®s condition and ask him to treat her so that he would not have to carry this burden. But Kisa was stubborn and would not let him tell Gilbert about her condition. When Kisa heard his constion, she just let out a faint smile, her indifference to life and death heart¨C breaking. ¡°There was never any misunderstanding between Gilbert and me. He has always hated me and cursed me to death. This is the truth. So don¡®t leak half a word to him about my health. For the rest of my remaining time, I don¡®t want to hear his taunts and humiliations. I¨Cit hurts.¡± Kelvin furrowed his brow, listening as she spoke slowly, as if she was enduring great pain.¡± I can¡®t even guarantee that I can heal you after you have taken the wonder drug,¡± he said. ¡°Even if you can guarantee it, Gilbert will not let you heal me.,¡± Kisa said with amusement. ¡°But didn¡®t you say that you were going to make Gilbert beg you to ept my treatment?¡± Kisa was silent for a long time. ¡°Do you think that¡®s a possibility?¡± Kelvin suddenly became silent, figuring that Gilbert would definitely not beg her to ept his treatment. After all, it was still an open question whether Gilbert will let him treat her. Seeing Kelvin¡®s silence, Kisa smiled self¨Cdeprecatingly. She then looked at Kelvin with pleading eyes. ¡°For the sake of you and I have known each other since childhood, please prescribe me some wonder painkiller. Don¡®t worry, I will pay for it without fail.¡± Kelvin felt terrible at hearing herst sentence. He asked in a deep voice, ¡°Do you have to take this drug?¡± ¡°Better give it to me now.¡± Seeing the determination and firmness in her eyes, he finally sighed. ¡°Give me a moment. I will check it out in my pharmacy.¡± Kisa was relieved as she watched Kelvin go upstairs. In fact, when she first came, she was a little worried that he would not help her. After all, the Kelvin she remembered was unruly, indifferent and spiteful; today¡®s Kelvin was humane in contrast. It seemed that the woman named Gracie had really changed him a lot. As she was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of something breaking in the garden. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 106 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 106 Chapter 106 I don¡®t me you Kisa subconsciously got up and walked outside, where she saw a flower pot shattered on the ground, and the soil and flower seedlings inside were scattered all over the ce. Gracie was crouching on the floor, cleaning up the mess. So Kisa went over to help. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Gracie smiled and shook her head. ¡°I¡®m fine. I was just thinking of moving the pot over there.¡± She pointed to the row of pots in front of the garden. ¡°The thing slipped from my hands and dropped to the ground.¡± ¡°It is okay, just get a new pot,¡± Kisa said, looking around, only to realize that there was not even a maid in the house. She looked at Gracie in puzzlement. ¡°Didn¡®t Kelvin hire you a maid?¡± N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Gracie shook her head. ¡°I don¡®t want a maid. I like to live with him alone. I don¡®t feelfortable with a maid around.¡± Kisa was startled, her heart sinking. ¡®How wonderful it is for two people to live alone together; he only has eyes for you, and you only have eyes for him; life is all about each other. But for the rest of my life, Gilbert and I would never get to that point.¡® . ¡°Ouch!¡± Gracie suddenly cried out in pain while Kisa was lost in thought. Kisa snapped back and saw Gracie had cut herself on her finger, and she was bleeding profusely. ¡°Why is there so much blood?¡± She subconsciously grabbed the scissors from Gracie¡®s hand and held her injured hand. ¡°Hurry up and get it bandaged before the wound gets infected.¡± ¡°It is alright. The wound isn¡®t deep. I can just rub the blood off.¡± Gracie was about to pull her hand back when suddenly a person rushed over and pushed Kisa out of the way with an angry yell. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Kisa stumbled several steps and fell in a heap. She looked up in confusion and saw Kelvin staring at her with bitter eyes. It took her only a few seconds to realize that Kelvin had mistakenly thought she was hurting Gracie. Just then, thest person she wanted to see appeared at the entrance to the garden; it was Gilbert. A sh of terrible feeling washed over her. She had never wanted to meet this man when she was in a bad way, but in front of him she was always in such a bad way, always so miserable. Gracie was dumbfounded by what happened. She said to Kelvin quickly, ¡°What are you doing? Miss Watson did nothing to me.¡± With that, she hurriedly helped up Kisa and asked with concern, ¡°Are you alright?¡± Kisa shook her head. When Kelvin pushed her down, the scissors in her hand cut her palm, and it hurt like hell, but she did not even show it. Gracie saw her hand dripping blood and lifted it. ¡°You¡®re bleeding. Kelvin¨C¡± ¡°It is okay.¡± Kisa pulled her hand back quickly, just wanting to get out of here. She looked at Kelvin. ¡°Where is the stuff I wanted?¡± Kelvin did not respond to her, just looked at Gracie. ¡°What is going on here?¡± ¡°I broke the pot by ident. Miss Watson was kind enough to help me clean it up, and then I cut my finger when I was cutting the branches of the flower in this pot. That was what happened. You pushed Miss Watson to the ground without first asking what was going on.¡± Kelvin could not help but look at Kisa with a sorry expression. ¡°I¡ª¡± ¡°It is okay. I don¡®t me you. Just give me what I want.¡± Throughout, she never looked at Gilbert again, as if he was a stranger who had nothing to do with her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 107 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Pay Me When You Die Kelvin did not know what to say at this moment. He cared about his woman a lot, and he was still unsure if Kisa had changed for the better. So when he saw his woman was hurt, and Kisa was holding a pair of scissors, he immediately mistook the situation. Now he wanted to apologize to Kisa, but words choked in his throat when he saw Kisa¡®s indifferent expression. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Gracie saw that Kisa¡®s hand was bleeding profusely, and she became worried. ¡°Miss Watson, your hand keeps bleeding. Let Kelvin take care of it for you.¡± ¡°No, really.¡± Kisa smiled feebly as she looked at Kelvin and asked again, ¡°Where is the thing?¡± Kelvin pursed his lips and handed her two boxes of medication in a bag. He had never had a guilty conscience, but this time, he felt he owed her, and even felt that the entire world owed her. Kisa took the medication and left. As she walked past Gilbert, she did not even look at him as if he did not even exist. Gilbert did not look at her either. He asked Kelvin, ¡°What did you give her?¡± Kelvin was about to open his mouth when Kisa said, ¡°Nothing. It is just some supplements.¡± With that, she shook off Gilbert¡®s hand and left without looking back. Gilbert turned around and quietly stared at her bleeding hand, his heart feeling hurt. Thinking of the p she received from him yesterday, his hand trembled again. Back at the Kooper residence¡ª Kisa first took out the two boxes of pills Kelvin had given her and looked at them, then found a note attached to the box. [The two boxes of pills must be taken together, ande to me again when they are finished. As for the money, pay me when you die.) Kisa looked at the note and could not help but smile. Kelvin was not so unforgiving, after all. She knew he was just too concerned about his woman in the garden tod envy that kind of love and care. She started imagining that if Gilbert also gave her that kind of love and care, she would be willing to die for it. But then, sheughed at herself because she knew that there would never, ever be a day like that. The medication Kelvin gave was really effective, and within an hour of taking it, the pain in her body had gone, and she felt a lot better. While Gilbert was away, she called Davian over. She was dressing the wound on her palm when Davian came. Davian wanted to go over to help her when he saw her doing it with difficulty, but coldly refused his help. He felt bad at seeing her distantness. After all, it was he and Gilbert who were in the wrong during the press conference. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, don¡®t be angry anymore. You may feel wronged by this news incident, but with the passage of time, things will pass and no one will remember it.¡± Kisa¡®s face was expressionless as she bandaged her hand, as if she had not heard what Davian said. It was only after she bit into the gauze and tied an ugly knot in her hand that she looked at him. ¡°I have something I need you to look into for me.¡± As if to make up for it, Davian said, ¡°What is it, Mrs. Kooper? I will be happy to help.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 108 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 108 Chapter 108 All men are better than you ¡°Could you help me investigate? It was five years ago, the night Grandma got into an ident and found out what Sharon was doing?¡± After Davian heard it, his eyes widened to as big as a deer caught in headlights. ¡°Why are you researching this? You¡®re not suspecting...¡± ¡°You have to help me investigate this matter, and don¡®t forget we still have a contract bond.¡± Davian gulped in shock and stared at her earnestly. ¡°Miss, by this, do you mean you did not hurt the olddy?¡± ¡°No one will believe me, so I need evidence,¡± Kisa responded with a cold chuckle. ¡°Go and find out about Sharon¡®s alibi for that day, and don¡®t tell Gilbert any of this,¡± Kisa warned. Davian nodded his head vigorously, ¡°Don¡¯t you worry. I won¡®t tell Gilbert.¡± Gilbert returned not long after Davian¡®s departure. The scratches on Gilbert¡®s neck had scabbed and were nauseating to look at. The scabbed scratches on Gilbert¡®s neck were evidence of yesterday¡®s incident. Kisa was almost sent into a panic attack upon recalling it. She nced toward the direction of the door where he had stood while tightening the hem of her shirt. ¡°Is there something you need?¡± Kisa asked inly. Gilbert took a nce at her gauze¨Cwrapped hands. ¡°Don¡®t you go looking for Kelvin Hooper so casually next time,¡± he warned. ¡°Why? Are you afraid that I will seduce him?¡± Kisa responded, halfughing. ¡°To be honest, in this world, all men are better than you,¡± she said in a mocking tone as she walked up to him. Gilbert held his hand in a fist, and his handsome face immediately turned cold. Kisa looked at his cold expression andughed lightly, ¡°Oh, you¡®re going to hit me again, aren¡®t you?¡± The sentence had pierced his heart. Gilbert slowly loosened his fist. He said coldly, ¡°Kelvin and Gracie finally got together after so many years. I don¡®t want you to break them apart.¡± Kisa lowered her eyes andughed until her eyes were bloodshot red, questioning her sanity at the moment. Sure enough, in the eyes of this man, she was a sinister and vicious person. He had never portrayed her in a positive light, ever. Kisa blinked back her tears. ¡°Oh, give it a break. I will not bother with him anymore, not at least for half a year more,¡± she chuckled. ¡°After half a year?¡± Gilbert frowned, ¡°Why is it half a yearter? What tricks are you trying to y?¡± Owned by N?velDrama.Org. He once more was making malicious spections about her. Kisa gave a self¨Cdeprecating smile, ¡°Yeah, I do still have tricks up my sleeve. Got to keep you on edge for another half of the year from now.¡± Gilbert firmly grabbed Kisa¡®s arm. ¡°What tricks are you up to? I am telling you; you better be obedient and do not mess with the people around me, or else...,¡± he threatened. ¡°Or else what?¡± Kisa smiled at him. A smile was so eerie that to others, it looked like she was mocking them. Unbeknown to others, her smile concealed her sadness and self¨Cesteem in dealing with her life trajectories. Gilbert red at her fiercely. He was trembling with anger. ¡°You...you¡®re a lost cause,¡± he spat. He pushed her away with force so hard it sent her flying. Kisa slowly got up from the ground and stared at him. Her smile turned into a sneer, ¡°Don¡®t be so angry, be patient for half a year at most, and after that, I won¡®t get in your way ever again.¡± For some reason, upon hearing Kisa¡®s words mentioning half a year, Gilbert felt a pang of disappointment. Gilbert threw a small bottle of ointment to her, ¡°Take this to treat your wounds, then follow me to visit Grandma.¡± Kisa watched Gilbert¡®s silhouette disappear as he walked out of the room. Kisa picked up the ointment Gilbert had given her and held it in her hand, crying andughing at the same time. She only had half a year left. Could she get this man to be once warm again in the next six months? In the afternoon, Kisa packed two sets of clothes and the ointment Gilbert had given her. She was ready to set off to the vi where Gilbert¡®s grandmother, Madalyn, resided. Before departing to Madalyn¡®s vi, Kisa found out she was going to be sitting in the same car as Sharon Case. She became very despondent. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 109 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 109 Chapter 109 I¡®m so worried about you, Kisa! After the press conference ended, Sharon was like a demon when she kicked Kisa intensely. But she was back to being gentle and innocent in front of Gilbert. ¡®I wonder when oblivious Gilbert will see through her two¨Cfaced side,¡® Kisa thought. While Gilbert and Davian were talking inside the room, Sharon sneered at Kisa. ¡°You¡®ve not been out these two days, right?¡± Kisa remained silent, leaning on the back of the chair resting. Sharon was unsatisfied with Kisa being impassive and mocked. ¡°You have no idea how people are hating on you everywhere. You should really be hiding. I¡®m worried about the day you die from others¡® hatred.¡± Kisa slowly opened her eyes and smiled at her. ¡°Did you see the marks on Gilbert¡®s neck?¡± Sharon was stunned. Kisa chuckled. ¡°Do you know how he got it?¡± Sharon¡®s face immediately darken, ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± Kisa slowly neatens the bandage on her hand and snickers. ¡°Gilbert says he hates me, but his body tells otherwise. It¡®s normal to leave marks when you get on it. You should know where he got his marks from, right?¡± Kisa gave Sharon a flirty smile after. Sharon turned green and was filled with jealousy. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Kisaughed grimly and said casually, ¡°Oh, and to think about my sister worrying for me when I was here in the mansion making love with Gilbert. Tsk, it does make me feel bad.¡± ¡°B*tch!¡± Sharon roared, lifted her hand, and wanted to p Kisa. Kisa sneered. ¡°Go on, hit me as you kicked me that day. Let Gilbert see how ugly your insides really are.¡± Sharon stiffly stopped herself after. Sharon red at Kisa with a fierce look. ¡°You really are cheap. What are you so proud of? You¡®re just Gilbert¡®s mistress. Do you think he really likes you? What a joke!¡± ¡°So what? You¡®re not evenparable to a mistress like me.¡± ¡°Why you¨Cyou...b*tch!¡± Sharon was shaking with rage and jealousy. Looking at Sharon turn into rage from jealousy made Kisa feel extremely merry. Kisa chuckled. ¡°I actually feel sorry for you. Who cares if you act all gentle and caring in front of him? He just won¡®t touch you. Sometimes I¡®ll wonder why won¡®t he touch you even when you¡®re so pretty. Hmm... Does he feel disgusted with you in some way?¡± Kisa was just talking nonsense to make Sharon angry. But who knew Sharon would have such strong reaction of irritation? Judging by the situation, Kisa was shock and thought in her heart. ¡®Did Gilbert really never touched her before?¡® Just then, Sharon changed her mood suddenly. The once fierce look was quickly reced with an innocent pure look. With tears falling, Sharon choked. ¡°Why do you have to say such hurtful things, Kisa?¡± Kisa does not even need to turn her back to know that Gilbert is here. Kisa was rather impressed by Sharon¡®s talent to instantly change her mood. She found that there was no doubt that Sharon is a drama queen. Sharon pretended to walk down from the car when Gilbert came. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 110 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 110 Chapter 110 More and More Cruel She wiped off her tears, acting like she was forced to be strong after being wronged. She looked at Gilbert and smiled, ¡°Gilbert, I won¡®t be visiting Grandma today. I¡®ll go some other time. You can go ahead together with Kisa.¡± Gilbert stared at her red eyes for a few seconds and turned toward Kisa. ¡°What did you do again?¡± Even before Kisa could speak, Sharon pulled his arms and said in a soft voice, ¡°Gilbert, you shouldn¡®t me Kisa. She didn¡®t do anything. It was all my fault; 1 suddenly felt sick. Don¡®t me her.¡± Kisa chuckled internally. What a slydy. It may seem like she was trying to defend her. In fact, the hidden meaning behind those words was to put the me on Kisa. She was trying to make all the blind men side with her, pity her and help her. Sure enough, Gilbert nced at her in disgust. Then, he told Sharon, ¡°Don¡®t try to defend her anymore. If she didn¡®t do anything, why would you be crying? You¡®re always being the soft hearted one trying to defend her. How about her? She would only be more and more cruel.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± chuckled Kisa. On the other side, Sharon was shaking her head aggressively, ¡°No, it isn¡®t like that. It really isn¡®t her fault. I¡®m the one in the wrong, don¡®t me her.¡± She spoke with a pitiful tone. Then, she showed a hurt expression again. She walked out while covering her mouth and sobbing. It was as though she wanted people to think that she had been bullied. Kisa stared at her backside and was utterly disgusted, ¡°Such a pretentious shrew!¡± As soon as she made that remark, Gilbert nced at her with a cold look. Sharon giggled, ¡°She¡®s crying. You should be going after her. You had always seen her as the weak one. Aren¡®t you worried that something might happen to her?¡± He remained there, staring at her for quite a while. Then he ordered Damian, ¡°Make sure to send Kisa back safely.¡± ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. ¡°Noted, Mr. Kooper.¡± After Damian had left, Gilbert got on the driver¡®s seat and said to Kisa in a stern voice, ¡°Sit in front.¡± Kisa sat still. Gilbert added, ¡°If you want to see Grandma, sit in front.¡± It was only then, Kisa moved to the front passenger seat. She did not understand his motive. He despises her. Why would he ask her to sit in front? Unless he is worried that she might harm him from behind. Any second together with this man caused Kisa to feel suffocated. She rolled down the windows and stared nkly at the scenery. The atmosphere was peacefully quiet, as both of them were just minding their own business. But Gilbert decided to break this peacefulness. ¡°Why is it that you¡®re always bringing trouble wherever you go? First it was Gracie, then Sharon. Why can¡®t you mind your own business for once!¡± Kia scoffed. This man has overestimated her abilities. How could someone like her have the ability to put everyone she meets in the trenches? She leaned on the door, looking at his stone¨Ccold face and asked, ¡°Do you want to know what I said to Sharon just now?¡± Gilbert only kept quiet and focused on driving. It was as if he was not interested in what she had to say. Kisaughed and said, ¡°I said, the scratch on your neck...it was from our night together.¡± ¡°Shhhh!¡± The car took a turn and halted to a stop immediately. Kisa¡®s head knocked onto the window. She wasughing crazily as if there was no pain on her head. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 111 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 111 Chapter 111 Take Responsibility for Your Own Words Gilbert looked at her closely, ¡°What did you just say?¡± ¡°I told Sharon, the scratch marks on your neck were from our night together. Even though you despise me, you can¡®t resist me.¡± She noticed Gilbert¡®s gloomy face. Then, she smiled happily, ¡°So? Are you nervous now? Would you like me to exin to her on your behalf?¡± All of a sudden, Gilbert came close to her. The look in his eyes was iprehensible and his voice was husky. ¡°Do you know that you have to take responsibility for your own words?¡± Kisa remained silent and stared into his dark ck eyes. She was panicking deep inside. It was the same look he had when he imagined her as Sharon. While poking the car seat, she continued mocking, ¡°Why? Did I guess it correctly? You can¡®t resist me?¡± Gilbert stared at her for a few seconds and backed off with a smile, ¡°Do you think that¡®s possible?¡± He started the car again and said, ¡°You better not spit nonsense to Sharon anymore. She¡®s a lot more innocent and kind¨Chearted than you. She isn¡®t your target.¡± Upon hearing these words, Kisaughed. Sheughed vicariously. Some people are really blindedpletely and have no idea about it. As soon as they reached Madalyn¡®s house and got out of the car, two little ones ran toward them excitedly. All these while, Gilbert was worried that the recent news would affect Andrew and Ada. So, he sent them to Madalyn¡®s house. Now that the little ones heard that he was visiting, they waited at the entrance earlier on. ¡°Daddy!¡± ¡°Daddy, you¡®re finally here!¡± The two little ones were happily hugging Gilbert¡®s legs. He looked down and caressed their little heads. It was at this moment that Kisa witnessed the soft side of him. That kindness was heartwarming, but it will never be for her. ¡°Ma¡®am, you¡®re here too!¡± The little ones came over and hugged Kisa after hugging him. Facing the enthusiasm of the two kids, Kisa felt ufortable. But she still had a soft spot for them. She caressed the two little kids¡® heads and had a sudden thought. If she and Gilbert were in love and had such a pair of son and daughter, they would be such a happy family. Unfortunately, that was impossible. They arrived at Madalyn¡®s room. She was still lying on the bed in the same position. The machines at the bedside were beeping consistently. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Seeing Madalyn¡®s state, Kisa could not help but tear up. It had only been five years and things have changed. The grandma that was gentle and kind was nowhere to be found. Gilbert nced at her red eyes and mocked, ¡°There¡®s no need to put on a show in front of me. I didn¡®t bring you along for a drama series.¡± Kisa wiped off the tears on her eyes and replied, ¡°Since you think of me as an evil person, why did you bring me here? Aren¡®t you worried that I¡®ll hurt Grandma?¡°. ¡°I dare you to!¡± Any matter rted to Madalyn¡®s wellbeing will cause Gilbert to be shaken. He pulled Kisa out of the room and squeezed her neck, ¡°If it wasn¡®t Kelvin who said that you could wake Grandma up, you think I¡®d want to bring you along? I¡®m warning you. You better not lift a finger on Grandma. Otherwise, I¡®ll be sure to see your death!¡± So that was it! She was still wondering why would this man be this kind to let her visit Madalyn. She smiled, ¡°Don¡®t worry. I want her to wake up more than anyone else.¡± ¡°You better be!¡± Just as Gilbert finished speaking, he noticed the two little ones running toward them at the corner of his eyes. He quickly let go of Kisa. Kisa was holding her chest and let out a few loud coughs. Then, the two kids ran toward them with storybooks in hand. ¡°Daddy, read these stories for us.¡± ¡°That¡®s right. Andrew and I haven¡®t heard you read to us in a while.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡®ll read to you now.¡± Gilbert smiled and brought the two kids into the room. Kisa stared at their backsides and felt confused. Although Gilbert was heartless and unkind, he was still a good father in Andrew and Ada¡®s eyes. Too bad, these kids were not birthed by his true lover. She felt a pain in her heart whenever she thought about these kids. On a farm around the suburbs. Howard came to a wooden hut secretly.

Looking at such a scene with the warm yellow light on her, it seemed as though the world was peaceful. She poured the freshly brewed tea into mugs and replied to the man at the door, ¡°Come in.¡± Howard took a quick nce at the surroundings, ¡°There are not any reporters here, right?¡± Sharon covered her mouth andughed, ¡°I¡®m an international star myself. I¡®m not even worried, why should you be?¡± Then only did Howard enter. Just as he sat down, a man suddenly walked in from the divider. Seeing that man, Howard felt nervous. On top of his nervousness, he also felt inferior and unhappy. Anthony sat close beside Sharon. He kept ncing at Howard condescendingly. ¡°I heard you¡®re my distant cousin. Tsk, from what I remember, all my cousins are well to do people. I¡®m not sure how I am rted to someone like you.¡± Howard held his fist tightly on hisp and replied with a smile, ¡°My great¨Cgrandfather and your¨C¡± ¡°That¡®s enough. There¡®s no use rifying since our families are not connected. We just hold the same last name.¡± Anthony smirked while lighting a cigarette. His eyes were filled with disdain. Howard took a deep breath, trying to suppress all the humiliation he felt inside. He turned to Sharon and asked, ¡°Miss Case, what¡®s with the urgent call? Do you need any help? ¡°About the recent news, I¡®ve learned a lot. In just a few days, you¡®ve transitioned from a D¨Clist to a B¨C list actor. The engagement is fascinating. You¡®re so smart toe up with such a tactic. I pity my mindless sister who thinks so highly of you.¡± Sharon¡®s sneer carried a hint of sarcasm. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Howard was not happy with the conversation topic. So, he stood up and said, ¡°If there¡®s nothing else, I shall take my leave.¡± ¡°Do you think this matter could be a sess without our help?¡± Howard frowned, ¡°Miss Case, what are you trying to say?¡± ¡°What I¡®m saying is, my sister had sent people to your hometown to do a background check on you.¡± Howard¡®s face changed. Sharon sneered, ¡°Don¡®t you think that you can fool her with your words. She is a genius. If it wasn¡®t Anthony who built that tombstone for your ¡®sister¡® and bribe the whole vige, do you think that wench would trust you?¡± He looked at Anthony instantly, ¡°So it was you¨C¡± ¡°That¡®s not all. He even used his power to bribe the mediapany. Otherwise, with Gilbert¡®s power, he would immediately find out that it was you who tipped the media.¡± Looking at Howard¡®s stunned look, Anthony mocked, ¡°A man with no power, status or brains. Yet, he still wants to y tricks. What a joke.¡± Howard clenched his fists tightly, ¡°The only reason you¡®re telling me all this now is for me to repay you. Tell me, what do you guys want?¡± Anthonyughed frantically upon hearing this, ¡°You¡®re really narcissistic.¡± Sharon walked over, stood by his side and said softly, ¡°Look at you. What do you have to offer us? We¡®re telling you this just to let you know that we¡®re on the same team. We¡®re partners in crime.¡± Howard puzzled, ¡°Partners in crime?¡± ¡°My grandfather¡®s 80th birthday will be next week.

He felt uneasy. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 113 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 113 Chapter 113 I Could Die in the Fall Gilbert¡®s grandmother lived in a vi neighborhood named the Sandy Bay, surrounded by mountains andkes. As soon as Kisa woke up in the morning, she could smell the fresh air from the mountains. It felt refreshing. She thought that it would be nice to stay there for the rest of her time here. After a while, there was a knock on her door. She opened the door and found Kelvin standing outside her door. Because of Gracie¡®s matter, he looked at her with a confused look. ¡°While I¡®m here to check up on Grandma, I¡®d like to check on your health condition too.¡± Worried that others might hear them, Kisa let him in. She closed the door and said, ¡°The medicine you gave is effective. Not only did it relieve pain instantly, but it also made me even more energetic.¡± Kelvin listened but his face seemed dull. ¡°You might feel that the effects are great now, but it¡®ll only weaken your body in the future. When that happens, no medicine will work on you anymore. You¡®ll have to bear the pain till death.¡± Kisa stared at a new sprout outside her window. She remained silent for a long while before replying, ¡°It¡®s springtime. I could die in the fall too, it¡®s my favorite season.¡± He did not reply anything but sighed. Kisa turned around and asked, ¡°How¡®s Grandma? Is there a possibility for her to wake up?¡± Kelvin¡®s eyes lit up. He replied, ¡°She has been recovering a lot faster. I believe she will be able to wake up soon.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Kisa squealed. Her eyes were beaming with joy. He looked closely at her expression, but he could not see any signs of her faking it. ¡®Is she really not the culprit who hurt Grandma? Forget it.

Kelvin rubbed his nose and said, ¡°I¡®m sure you guys have things to discuss about. I¡®ll get going. After these words, he quickly ran off. Kisa looked at Gilbert uninterestedly and asked, ¡°What?¡± ¡°I¡®ve warned you before, don¡®t you try and target Kelvin!¡± Kisa broke into anger, ¡°When have you seen me do anything to Kelvin? Do you assume that I¡®m trying to seduce guys as long as I¡®m with them?¡± ¡°Isn¡®t that so? What other business would you have with Kelvin?¡± ¡°Whatever.¡± Kisa was not in the mood to argue with him. She went back inside her room. He followed behind her, ¡°I¡®m here to warn you. You better behave yourself now that you¡®re in this house. Take care of Grandma. Don¡®t try and y any tricks.¡± Kisa smirked. She is just a normal person with no power, status, or support. Did he have to warn her repeatedly? ¡°Also, even though the issue about the news is settled, there¡®s still engagement. You better not get yourself involved with Howard. If GK Pictures goes down, I¡®ll make sure you go down together as well.¡± Kisa remained silent. She was already numb to his threats. The only time he would talk to her nicely is when the world is about to end. In the afternoon, Gilbert went to the office. But not long after he left, Sharon came to the house. It was as if she purposely chose a time when Gilbert won¡®t be around. This alerted kisa. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 114 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 114 Chapter 114 Mother¡®s Antique After all, this girl is full of tricks and good at acting. No one knew what she was going to do here. As she was tucking Grandma¡®s nket, thedy leaning by the door said, ¡°Gilbert is not here.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Sharon smiled, ¡°I¡®m here to see you.¡± ¡°Then spill.¡± Kisa had no intention to hide her hatred. Sharon did not bother and replied, ¡°Gilbert has such a big heart. He let a culprit who hurt his Grandma take care of her. I wonder what his thought process was like.¡± Kisa smiled but her eyes were gleaming. She replied, ¡°Kelvin said that Grandma will wake up soon.¡± Owned by N?velDrama.Org. As she said that, she looked straight into Sharon¡®s eyes to catch her reaction, ¡°When the timees, we¡®ll know who is the true culprit that hurt Grandma.¡± Sharon¡®s face changed a little, but she didn¡®t show any signs of panic. She only replied with a smile, ¡°Really? Then I can¡®t wait for that day to arrive. Let¡®s see if Grandma will defend you.¡± Sharon¡®s calmness and confidence was surprising. It made Kisa doubt if she had been guessing the wrong person all these while. Perhaps it wasn¡®t her who did it. Who knows, it could be Sara too. As soon as she was reminded that thisdy is talented in acting, she did not doubt further. She replied, ¡°We¡®ll see.¡± Sharon hmphed and took out a gold invitation card from her bag. ¡°Grandpa¡®s 80th birthday is next week. Here¡®s your invitation.¡± Kisa did not take the card, ¡°He¡®s your grandfather, not mine.¡± After her mom had passed away, she was brought back to the Case family. There, everyone treated her cruelly, including this grandfather. There are times when she questioned. Her mother was the first legal wife and when the divorce happened, she left without taking anything from the family. Why did the Case family mistreat her and her mother? Sharon threw the card in front of her and mocked, ¡°Do you think I¡®d want you there? This was Grandpa¡®s request. Perhaps he¡®s already at an old age and wants to see you before he dies. Kisa only took it as a joke. From her memory, Mr. Case Sr. had beaten her badly when she identally spoiled Sharon¡®s toys. She would never believe he wanted to see her. Who knows there might be some other purpose behind this invitation? At that thought, she threw the card into the trash can. ¡°You!¡± Sharon was furious, ¡°Fine, fine. If you decide not to attend Grandpa¡®s birthday, forget about your mother¡®s antiques in the Case family.¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Kisa grabbed onto Sharon who was about to leave, and asked, ¡°My mother left some of her belongings?¡± ¡°Heh. After all, she lived here for two years, and she did not bring anything when she left. Do you think she might have left some valuables here?¡± ¡°But previously when I was at the house.¡± ¡°Of course you wouldn¡®t be able to find it. They were kept by my mom.¡± Kisa wanted to ask further but her hand was being thrown by Sharon who left with a wide smile. She stared at the invitation card in the dustbin with her fists tightly clenched. She knew that Sharon would never be nice. First, to allow her to participate in the dinner. Second, to return her mother¡®s belongings. They must have nned something during the dinner. Deep down, she knew that she should not be attending the dinner. But for her mother¡®s belongings, she must retrieve it back no matter what. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 115 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 115 Chapter 115 My Whole Life, I¡®ve Only Cooked it for You In the evening, Kisa cooked up a meal. The dishes not only looked pretty but smelled amazing too. Gilbert smelled the aroma as soon as he stepped into the house. Before he reached the dining room, Andrew and Ada were running toward him. ¡°Daddy, Ma¡®am cooked dinner for us. It smells yummy.¡± ¡°Daddy, let¡®s have a bite.¡± As the two little kids were speaking, they dragged him to the dining table. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Just as he reached, Kisa brought a bowl of soup from the kitchen. She was wearing a set of pink loungewear. Her hair loosely tied and a light purple apron around her waist. At a nce, she really did seem like a virtuous housewife. Gilbert stared at her for a moment. He suddenly had an illusion. He and Kisa were a pair of ordinary couple. He would leave in the morning for work ande home in the evening; she would prepare meals, clean the house and teach the kids. Everything was wholesome, ordinary yet heartwarming. The life of a normal wedded couple would most probably look like this. Kisa arranged the dishes and smiled at him, ¡°You¡®re just on time. Go and wash your hands, it¡®s time for dinner.¡± Gilbert¡®s heart skipped a beat seeing her ttering smile. He stared at the delicious dishes on the table and sneered, ¡°Didn¡®t you say that you don¡®t know how to cook?¡± ¡°I can always learn. Learning while cooking is pretty good too.¡± As Kisa was speaking, she scooped a bowl of soup for him. She rushed him, ¡°Go and wash your hands. The kids are waiting to eat.¡± Gilbert was stunned for a moment. Then, he went to the washroom to wash his hands. When he came out, he was still staring at thisdy who was diligently serving food on the children¡®s te. Thisdy had always been rebellious and mean. When did she carry such a gentle personality? She must be nning something bad again. He doubtfully sat on the dinner table and asked, ¡°Tell me, what are you nning now?¡± Kisa, who was eating, suddenly froze. A gush of anger raised in her heart. Look, no matter what she does, he¡¯d always think badly of her. Trying her best to suppress her anger, Kisa replied to him in a nice tone, ¡°I¡®m not nning anything. I just felt good today, so I made a meal for you and the kids. See, the kids are enjoying the food.¡± ¡°Daddy, Ma¡®am¡®s cooking is good.¡± ¡°Yes Daddy, give it a try.¡± Seeing Andrew and Ada eating happily, Gilbert could not say anything else. Anyways, Kisa would not dare to do anything while he¡®s around. Then, Kisa served a few pieces of Swedish meatballs for him, ¡°I remember you used to like this. When we were married, I¡®d cook this for you every day. Too bad...you¡®ve never had it once. As she was speaking, her face dropped a little. Gilbert quietly looked at her and broke into a scoff, ¡°This dish, you must have cooked it for other guys too.¡± This man¡®s words are always evil. Kisa tried her best to smile and suppress her anger, ¡°No. My whole life, I¡®ve only made it for you.¡± She was telling the truth. She did not care if he believed in her words and continued picking her food without saying a word. Gilbert stared at her longer. Those eyes were iprehensible. At night. After both kids had fallen asleep, Kisa went and checked on Madalyn. Then, she boiled a bowl of chicken soup and brought it to his study. At that time, Gilbert was at his desk going through some documents. The corner of his lips raised as soon as he noticed her sending a bowl of soup. ¡°I knew it. There¡®s some other agenda behind that meal.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 116 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 116 Chapter 116 I Truly Lost My Family Kisa ignored his scornful expression and ced the bowl of chicken soup in front of him. ¡°I made you some chicken soup; it¡®s good for you.¡± Gilbert nced at the creamy chicken soup before turning to her sharply, ¡°Stop beating around the bush. Tell me, what is it that you want from me?¡± He refused to believe there was no hidden agenda behind her kindness to him. ¡®Everything nice that she had done for me had ulterior motives,¡® he thought. Just as he had expected, she stopped putting on a facade. ¡°I need your help with something.¡± Gilbert scoffed and did not respond. Kisa quickly added, ¡°It¡®s not something difficult. I was hoping that you could take me to the Case family¡®s house sometime this week,¡± Sharon has set a trap for me; that¡®s why she wants me to attend Grandpa¡®s birthday banquet so badly. As long as I get my hands on my mother¡®s belongings before the banquet, Sharon will have a hard time pulling off her n. However, I won¡®t be able to step foot into the Case family¡®s house on my own. Even if I do manage to get in, Sharon and her mother, Carolyn Marshall, would never hand over my mother¡®s belongings. I have no choice but to ask for Gilbert¡®s help,¡® Kisa thought. For a moment, Gilbert was startled. Then, he sneered, ¡°The Case family¡®s house is your house too. Isn¡®t it funny for you to ask me to take you to your own house? Or are you plotting something wicked?¡± Kisa peered at Gilbert. He had an expression that was filled with ridicule and doubt. Finally, she lost it. ¡°At this state, what else could I be plotting? You¡®re right. I used to be a part of the Case family. But right now, do you think that I still have a family? Would the Case family still allow me to enter the house now that I¡®ve been in jail? My request is simple; I¡®m only asking you to take me to the Case family¡®s house. Was it necessary for you to ridicule and scorn me?¡± Kisa yelled. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. She felt bitter and wronged. ¡®I truly lost my family when my mother passed. I just wanted to retrieve my mother¡®s belongings. It doesn¡®t even matter if Sharon made up said belongings to set me up; I just want to go take a look,¡® she thought. Gilbert felt a twinge in his heart when he saw Kisa¡®s teary eyes. However, he kept his stoic expression. ¡°Why are you going to the Case family¡®s house?¡± ¡°To retrieve my mother¡®s belongings,¡± Kisa answered truthfully. This time, Gilbert did not give her a cynical response. He said coolly, ¡°I¡®ll take you there tomorrow if I¡®m free. You can get lost now.¡± Kisa did not want to remain in the room any longer, so she wiped away her tears and ran out. Meanwhile, Gilbert stared at the chicken soup with a thoughtful expression. ¡®Why does Kisa want to return to the Case family¡®s house to retrieve her mother¡®s belongings out of the blue? Why didn¡®t she do it when she was still staying in the house? Whatever. I¡®ll make an exception and believe her this time,¡® he thought. The following day. Kisa waited for Gilbert¡®s return. When Gilbert finally returned, she quickly ran up to him, ¡°Are you busy today? Have you eaten? Are you hungry?¡± Kisa asked him several questions in a row. However, the hurried expression on her face showed no signs of concern. Gilbert lightly scoffed and did not answer. Kisa could not decipher the meaning behind his actions. She quickly added, ¡°If you are not busy or hungry, let¡®s depart. We can go to the Case family¡®s house right now.¡± Then, she started dragging Gilbert out of the house. Kisa was so forceful that she ripped out the buttons on Gilbert¡®s suit. He yanked her hand away forcefully and huffed, ¡°What¡®s with the rush? I didn¡®t even get to take a sip of water!¡± When Kisa heard his words, she quickly ran back into the house and poured him a ss of water. She was so desperate she almost fed him the water. g Kisa got into the car and twisted her fingers sadly. ¡®Mother didn¡®t leave me anything when she passed away. Was it because she had nothing to leave, or was she worried I¡®d miss her when I saw her things? But I really do miss her. That¡®s why I¡®ll go take a look even if I have to go through fire. It doesn¡®t matter if it¡®s something she used or a book she read,¡® she thought. While Gilbert was driving, he nced at Kisa from the corner of his eyes. She was oddly quiet at the moment. He scoffed icily, ¡°You better not be lying this time. If you are not going to the Case family¡®s house to retrieve your mother¡®s belongings...¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± This time, Kisa was genuinely thanking him. Gilbert felt ufortable with her sincere gratitude. He turned away awkwardly before scoffing icily again. Then, he continued focusing on the road. The journey went on for a while before they arrived. Gilbert slowly drove the car into the Case family¡®s courtyard. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 117 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 117 Chapter 117 Returning to the Case Family Their arrival was quickly greeted by Christopher Case and Carolyn Marshall. The Kooper family and the Case family had always been on good terms. However, due to the Kooper family¡®s growing power and status, the Case family was slightly fearful of them and would butter them up. Exhibit¨Ca, just as Gilbert got out of the car, Carolyn pulled him aside affectionately. She gave him a smile that was so endearing it was almost as if she were looking at her own son. ¡°Gilbert! What brought you here today? Sharon¡®s still on set right now, so she hasn¡®te home yet,¡± Carolyn said. When she saw Kisa get out of the car, the endearing smile on her face instantly dropped. Carolyn pointed at Kisa, ¡°She... What¡®s she doing here?¡± She was so shocked that her speech was garbled. Carolyn had always hated Kisa. Back then, she often abused Kisa. However, she did not dare to openly exhibit her hatred toward Kisa in front of Gilbert. Meanwhile, Christopher was also staring at Kisa with a deep frown. Kisaughed sardonically. However, she also felt bitter. ¡®Since Carolyn isn¡®t my mother, her hatred toward me is understandable. On the other hand, Christopher is my father through and through. Yet, he had done nothing other than yelling and hitting me throughout my childhood. In contrast, he spoiled Sharon like there was no tomorrow. I still can¡¯t figure out why father married mother and had me when he never loved her,¡® she thought. After being in shock momentarily, Carolyn quickly rposed herself. She shed a smile at Gilbert, ¡°Gilbert, why¡®d you bring Kisa here today?¡± ¡°What¡®s everybody doing outside? Let¡®s discuss things inside,¡± Christopher said with a smile. Gilbert nced at Kisa and entered the house. Just as Kisa was about to follow suit, Carolyn promptly blocked her entrance and threw her a deadly re. Back in the day, Carolyn was also an actor. Even though she had not acted in a long while, her acting skills were still impably unmatched. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Needless to say, Sharon inherited Carolyn¡®s acting skills. After they entered the house, the servants poured Gilbert and Kisa each a ss of water. Kisa felt restless; she did not want to wait any longer. All she wanted to do was run upstairs to search for her mother¡®s belongings. However, she knew acting rashly was not a good idea. Kisa turned to Gilbert. He leaned into the couch and started, ¡°Kisa¡®s here with me today to retrieve her mother¡®s belongings.¡± When Christopher and Carolyn heard his statement, their expressions changed unanimously. Christopher said bluntly, ¡°Her mother didn¡®t stay here for a long time. After all, what could a woman who¡®s still in love with another man leave behind?¡± Gilbert had no intention of prying into their family affairs. Moreover, this was something that involved the older people in their families. He pursed his lips and did not respond. Christopher did not want to offend him. ¡°Her mother really didn¡®t leave anything behind,¡± he stammered. Kisa lost her patience. She pointed at Carolyn and said, ¡°You¡®re lying. Sharon told me that this woman had hidden away my mother¡®s belongings.¡± Christopher¡®s expression darkened. He mmed the table and chided, ¡°What did you just call your aunt Carolyn? In any case, she¡®s your elder.¡± Carolyn quickly tugged on Christopher¡®s arm. ¡°Don¡®t be angry. Kisa¡®s just a child; she doesn¡®t know any better,¡± she said in a considerate tone. Then, she turned to Kisa and said, ¡°Now that you¡®ve mentioned it, I just remembered something. When I married into the Case family and moved in, I did happen to move some useless things into the attic. I¡®m not sure if the belongings that you speak of happened to be in that pile.¡± Kisa instantly shot up. ¡°I¡®ll go take a look.¡± However, Carolyn grabbed her arm affectionately, ¡°Of course. I¡®ll take you to the attic.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 118 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 118 Chapter 118 My Biological Grandfather Kisa was so eager to retrieve her mother¡®s belongings that she ignored the show Carolyn had put on. She allowed Carolyn to drag her toward the staircase. However, just as they got to the staircase, Carolyn came to a stop. Then, she turned to Gilbert with a smile, ¡°Gilbert, dear, has Mrs. Kooper Sr. regained consciousness yet?¡± Gilbert froze momentarily. ¡°Not yet,¡± he answered coolly. Carolyn made a surprised expression, ¡°Ah, I see. I thought Mrs. Kooper Sr. had regained consciousness. After all, Kisa was reckless back then when she injured her. If Mrs. Kooper Sr. hasn¡®t regained consciousness, why are you helping Kisa to retrieve her mother¡®s belongings? Don¡®t you hate her?¡± Gilbert¡®s expression instantly darkened. His two hands that were resting on his knees tightened. When Christopher saw his reaction, he feigned anger and yelled at Carolyn, ¡°What¡®re you talking about? Hurry up and take Kisa upstairs.¡± Meanwhile, Carolyn quickly feigned an apologetic look. ¡°I¡®m so sorry, Gilbert, dear. I asked because I was curious. Don¡®t take it to heart, alright?¡± ¡°I¡®m only here today for Kisa to retrieve her mother¡®s belongings. I¡®ll be leaving right after,¡± he said icily. Carolyn did not dare to add fire to the fuel now that Gilbert was evidently angry, so she quickly brought Kisa upstairs. Even though Kisa was back in the house she used to live in, she did not feel a thing despite being in her old bedroom. This was because she had never received any warmth back when she stayed at this house. Kisa used to think of Sharon as her only ray of sunshine in this house. However, sheter learned that Sharon¡®s heart was as dark as coal. They continued walking. Suddenly, Carolyn turned to her with a sneer, ¡°Tsk. When Sharon told me that you were alive, I almost didn¡®t believe her. It seems like you got lucky.¡± Since the only thing on Kisa¡¯s mind were her mother¡®s belongings, she ignored Carolyn¡®s snarky remarks. They finally arrived at the attic. Carolyn turned abruptly and red at her. ¡°Let me get this straight, Gilbert belongs to Sharon only. You¡®re no better than a servantpared to Sharon.¡± ¡°Alright, alright... Sharon is the best, and Gilbert will be Sharon¡®s in no time. Sharon will also be known as GK Pictures¡®s Mrs. Kooper soon. Is this good enough?¡± Kisa asked. Carolyn scoffed at Kisa¡®s annoyance, ¡°Wait here. I¡®ll go get the keys.¡± Just as Carolyn turned her back, her eyes glinted menacingly. Then, she sneered. A few minutes passed, and Kisa did not see Carolyn return with the keys. She could not resist shoving the door in front of her. However, the door did not budge. Kisa could not help but frown in confusion. ¡®That¡®s weird... Carolyn could have taken the keys on the way here; why did she only return to get the keys after we got to the door? She¡®s making me wait here all by myself. Is she trying to set me up?¡® she wondered. Kisa quickly turned around to search for Carolyn. Just as she turned around, she was met with an old man in his eighties. He walked toward her with a cane. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. The old man was not any other old man but Kisa¡®s biological grandfather, Mr. Case Sr. ¡°Gilbert, Sharon¡®s very simple¨Cminded and gentle. Since you¡®re both in the entertainment industry, please watch after her,¡± Christopher said courteously with a smile. Gilbert responded coolly, ¡°She doesn¡®t need anyone to watch after her; she¡®s an international superstar.¡± ¡°That¡®s not true. Sharon is too naive and kind. I¡®m worried that she¡®ll fall victim to other people¡®s trickery. That¡®s how she got tricked by Kisa.¡± ¡°AHH! What¡®re you doing?!¡± Just as Christopher finished his sentence, someone upstairs shouted and startled everyone. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 119 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 119 Chapter 119 How Dare You It was Carolyn. Christopher immediately ran upstairs. Gilbert¡®s gaze darkened before he quickly followed suit. When Christopher and Gilbert got upstairs, they saw Carolyn hugging Mr. Case Sr. ¡°How could you be so heartless? He¡®s your grandfather!¡± Carolyn shouted at Kisa through tears. Meanwhile, Kisa stood there with an indifferent expression. She did not panic; she had seen plenty of set¨Cups like this, ¡°What happened?¡± Christopher asked urgently while peering at Mr. Case Sr. Mr. Case Sr. was lying on the ground in pain. Carolyn wiped her tears and said, ¡°I told Kisa to wait here while I go retrieve the attic keys. On the way there, I saw Nichs, so I told him that Kisa was over. Nichs was overjoyed; he said that he wanted to see Kisa as well. When I returned with the keys, I saw Kisa brutally shove Nichs down the stairs. Thankfully, this stair flight isn¡®t long. Otherwise, with Nichs¡®s age, he could¡®ve been badly injured.¡± Christopher was furious. He strode toward Kisa and pped her across the face, ¡°You heartless wench!¡± Gilbert frowned deeply. ¡°Mr. Case, you haven¡®t gotten to the bottom of this incident. Wasn¡®t pping Kisa a little too rash?¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. ¡°What is there to get to the bottom of? I saw it with my own eyes!¡± Carolyn said through tears. She continued, ¡°If you don¡®t believe me, you can ask Nichs. Then, you¡®ll know if she was the one who shoved him.¡± Right after Carolyn spoke, Mr. Case Sr. lifted his trembling arm and pointed at Kisa, ¡°It... It was her... She shoved me...¡± Kisa stared at the snowy¨Chaired old man silently. Suddenly, she revealed a sorrowful smile. ¡®My own grandfather,¡® she thought. ¡°Why are you framing me? Am I not your granddaughter? Why are you doing this?¡± ¡°That¡®s enough!¡± Christopher shoved her to the side. He continued shouting, ¡°You think your elderly grandfather would risk his life by deliberately falling down the stairs just to frame you?¡± Nothing Kisa said could prove her innocence; she could only stare at Mr. Case $r. The hatred and resentment within her were strong enough to ruin the heavens. On the other hand, Carolyn continued feigning her tears, ¡°I know you¡®ve always resented us. You¡®re trying to ruin your grandfather¡®s uing eightieth birthday banquet so that the Case family will be everyone¡®sughingstock. Kisa, you shouldn¡®t do such malicious things. Haven¡®t you changed ever since you injured Mrs. Kooper Sr.? You¡®ve even hurt your grandfather now!¡± ¡°Why do I have a heartless wench like you as my daughter?!¡± Christopher yelled at her while throwing her a disgusted look. Kisa could not stop herself from tearing up. Even though she felt sorrowful, she kept her tears at bay. She was well aware that no exnation would change the situation, so she decided to not exin herself at all. Then, Kisa turned to Carolyn and said icily, ¡°Hand over the keys.¡± ¡°You¡®re still using retrieving your mother¡®s belongings as a guise? I think it was all a sham. You got Gilbert to bring you here because you figured he¡®d have your back even if something went wrong. That way, we wouldn¡®t dare to do anything to you. Kisa, he¡®s your biological grandfather! If something happened to your grandfather from that fall, your father would never forgive you,¡± Carolyn said with a pained expression. Everything Carolyn said insinuated that Kisa had harmed Mr. Case Sr. Kisa clenched her fists and growled lowly, ¡°I said, hand over the keys!¡± ¡°You wench! How dare you?!¡± Christopher roared. Then, he raised his hand once more to p Kisa. Gilbert narrowed his eyes and promptly grabbed Christopher¡®s hand in midair.

Why are you defending her?¡± Gilbert flung Christopher¡®s arm away coldly. ¡°You can me me for what happened today. If anything happens to Mr. Case Sr. because of the fall he¡®d experienced today, youe to me. As for her...¡± Gilbert said icily. He turned to Kisa coldly, ¡°I was the one who brought her here, so I¡®ll naturally be the one taking her home.¡± Then, he grabbed Kisa¡®s arm and prepared to leave. However, Kisa did everything to get to the Case family¡®s house to retrieve her mother¡®s belongings. She was unwilling to leave without getting a glimpse of her mother¡®s belongings. Carolyn¡®s holding the keys to the attic door, and the only thing keeping me from my mother¡®s belongings is this very door. I¡®m so close. I¡®m so close to my mother¡®s belongings. How could I possibly leave like this?¡® Kisa thought. She broke free from Gilbert¡®s grasp and shrieked at Carolyn, ¡°Hand over the keys, you! Hand over the keys!¡± Carolyn was frightened by Kisa¡®s bloodshot eyes. In response, she started screeching exaggeratedly, ¡°What¡®re you doing? Wasn¡®t hurting your grandfather enough? Are you trying to hit me now? How could you be so evil?! We raised you, yet you¡®re biting the hands that fed you?¡± ¡°Shut your mouth!¡± Kisa was so angry she had lost her rationality. She charged at Carolyn and wanted to snatch the keys from her hand. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Carolyn continued shrieking in exaggeration. Meanwhile, Christopher cursed and looked like he was about to hit Kisa. Gilbert yanked Kisa over and growled lowly, ¡°Are you done messing around?¡± Kisa shivered and seemed to have regained some sense of rationality. She turned to Gilbert stiffly. ¡°You said, I¡®m messing around?¡± she asked with a slight smile. Gilbert stared at her intensely. When he saw the disappointment in her eyes, he felt his breath hitch. Kisa turned away. She inhaled deeply and tried her best to hold back the tears. ¡®I didn¡®t even cry when the people from the Case family hit me or insulted me, yet a single sentence from this man was enough to make my tears flow uncontrobly. Hah, I really am useless. I still care about what he thinks of me, even in this state,¡® Kisa thought. She hastily wiped away the tear streaks at the corner of her eyes. Then, she pointed at the Case family. ¡°They¡®re the ones who insulted me. They¡®re making false usations and not letting me retrieve my mother¡®s belongings. Why do you say that I¡®m messing around? Is it because to you, I¡®m always at fault?¡± she asked in a choked voice. Carolyn cut in through sobs, ¡°Kisa, dear, you need to speak truthfully. When did I not let you retrieve your mother¡®s belongings? You¡®re the one who¡®s using this as a cover to hurt Nichs. We also did not insult you or make false usations. Your elderly grandfather wouldn¡®t risk his life framing his own granddaughter, right?

You¡®ve always been a troubled child; you would me Sharon for your own wrongdoings. You¡®re bad to the bone and bring chaos wherever you go.¡± Kisa sneered. While her smile was filled with mockery, all she felt was sorrow. Once again, Gilbert grasped her arm tightly, ¡°Come with me.¡± Kisa stared at Christopher and Carolyn icily. ¡®There was no such thing as a family in this household.

Gilbert grabbed her arm subconsciously and asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°Wherever I go has nothing to do with you.

Do you want it served now?¡± The servant greeted him enthusiastically. ¡°Soup?¡± Gilbert frowned. He did not ask his servants to cook him some soup. ¡°It was Raine, sir. She made the soup herself and told us to watch it carefully. ¡®The longer it cooks, the richer the vor,¡® she said. She also asked us to serve it to you when you came back.¡± Everyone in the Kooper residence knew that she was Kisa, Gilbert¡¯s wife, but the people at the Sandy Bay thought that she was Raine Watson, an ordinary servant who was transferred from the Kooper residence. ¡°Raine seemed to be very happy today.

The red and swollen handprint on her face looked terrifying under the rain. She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes full of indifference. ¡®I don¡¯t care if the Case family wants to frame me. All I want is my mother¡¯s antique.¡® Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps behind her, and a thick coat was draped over her shoulders. Her heart trembled slightly.

She also did not understand why her biological father hated her so much. Even more so, she did not understand why the man she loved with all her heart hated her from the very start of their rtionship. All her thoughts intertwined with each other and created an extreme feeling of sadness. Because of that, she continued to cry and tremble. A strange feeling shed across Howard¡¯s heart when he tightly hugged Kisa¡¯s thin, frail, trembling body. He stroked her wet hair over and over again.

Stop!¡± Kisa did not listen and continued her way upstairs.

Did you forget the humiliation I suffered from you, for being your wife?¡± Gilbert stopped talking. Instead, he just stared at Kisa deeply. His slightly bare chest moved up and down violently, and the gloominess in his eyes was shocking. The thing Kisa was scared of the most was the look he had when he was unstable. He looked as if he would do something crazy at any time. Suddenly, she pushed him away with all her strength and ran forward. The next moment, Gilbert clutched onto her tightly from behind. The two fell to the ground because of the struggle. Just as Kisa was stumbling to get up, the man hugged her tightly, buried his head around her neck, and whispered, ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡± ¡± Kisa¡¯s heart trembled. ¡®This man had never said these two words to me in such a pleading voice before.¡® She immediately understood it when she smelled the smell of alcoholing from him.

The two were so close that her forehead almost touched his. She stared at him for a long time and suddenly raised her hand to stroke his face. But she was afraid of waking him up, so she only dared to trace the outline of his face in midair. ¡®He¡¯s so handsome. His facial features are stunning.

When the time came, with people not looking, she could sneak into the attic, pick the lock, and take back her mother¡¯s belongings. However, Gilbert refused to help her, so she could only go alone. Just as she was about to head out, Lea, who had not contacted her for a long time, suddenly called her. ¡°Raine, how are you doing?¡± Kisa replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine. How about you? Haven¡¯t seen you in a while.¡± Lea said, ¡°Sigh, the bar opened another branch in another city, and I was transferred over there for a while. I was so busy from night to day. God, I¡¯m tired. I hope I don¡¯t get sent there again.¡± Kisa smiled, ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back. Let¡¯s go have a meal someday.¡± ¡°Yeah¡­ Oh right, I got a part¨Ctime job today, it¡¯s paying pretty well, so I wanted to ask you if you¡¯re interested. I remember that you¡¯re quite short on money.¡± Kisa was about to refuse before she heard Lea say, ¡°The rich sure is generous. They are paying so high just for part¨Ctime servants for a birthday banquet.¡± The moment she heard the words ¡°birthday banquet,¡± Kisa paused for a moment before subconsciously asking, ¡°Who¡¯s the host?¡± ¡°The Case family, the family that got rich running a chain of hotels. I heard that their old man is having his eightieth birthday banquet.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 128 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 128 Chapter 128 Coincidence The moment Kisa heard that her heart beat a little faster. ¡®It is the Case family. What a coincidence!¡® At that time, Lea only knew Kisa as Raine. She had no idea her friend was Kisa Becker, a daughter the Case family had taken in. After not getting a reply from Kisa, Lea suddenly recalled something as she said, ¡°Oh, right. This Case family is Sharon¡¯s family. I remember that you had some feud with her, and she seemed to be calling you sis or something. Have you guys known each other since the beginning?¡± ¡°I have some feud with her. I¡¯ll tell you next time.¡± ¡°Okay. If that¡¯s the case, I think you shouldn¡¯t be going, so that she won¡¯t make things difficult for you. It¡¯s my bad. I only had the high pay in mind and forgot about that.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ll go.¡± ¡°Eh? You¡¯re going?¡± ¡°Give me the address. I¡¯ll meet up with you there.¡± The Case family was a famous household in Calthon, so the birthday banquet was a big one, and they had hired a lot of temporary staff. Based on what Lea had said, they had already found the servants long ago. However, two of them could not make it due tost¨Cminute matters. It was Lea¡¯s friend who contacted her and got her to stand in. All of the temporary staff entered from the side entrance. After entering, they would be led in by the steward of the Case family before being assigned a task one by one. ? The Case family steward knew who she was, so before Kisa came, she deliberately put makeup on, and after putting on the servant uniform, even Gilbert would not recognize her even if she stood before him. Fortunately for her, both she and Lea were assigned to the kitchen, which meant that she did not need to go to the hall or the courtyard to greet the guests. That way, no one would notice her at all. ¡°Raine, the Case residence sure is big. No wonder Sharon is so haughty. If I was born into such a rich family, I too would be like that.¡± As she cut the vegetables, Lea could not help but quip. Kisa smiled. ¡°You won¡¯t. You¡¯ll still be kind even if you¡¯re born into a rich family.¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Tsk, tsk, Raine, you think too highly of me. I¡¯m only nice to people I care about, and you are one of those people,¡± Lea said as she leaned onto Kisa¡¯s shoulder. Kisa smiled as she patted Lea¡¯s heart, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart. Her life had been too difficult and too tiring recently. Fortunately, Lea was now back, and she had another person to talk to. As she thought about it, the Case family steward suddenly rushed in ¡°There¡¯s not enough people outside You, and you, carry these sweets out. Put half of them in the hall and half of them in the courtyard.¡± The two people the steward was referring to were exactly Kisa and Lea Kisa panicked. If she were to go out like this, Sharon might discover her. Kisa was waiting for the banquet to begin to go upstairs into the attic to pry open the lock. ¡°If Sharon discovers that I¡¯m here this early, my ns will be as good as ruined ¡± ¡°What are you two waiting for? We didn¡¯t hire you for you with thatrge sum of money for you toze about.¡± Seeing Kisa still standing there, the steward yelled at her. Lea immediately snapped to attention, ¡°Raine, what¡¯s the matter? Do you feel unwell?¡± Kisa immediately shook her head as she whispered, ¡°No, it¡¯s just that I don¡¯t want to go near crowds. I get nervous.¡± ¡°Then¡­ just bring that tray out into the courtyard.¡± Lea leaned toward her ear and whispered as she said, ¡°Just pretend to take one out. I¡¯ll do the rest.¡± Kisa shot her a grateful look and then carried one of the trays of sweets as she followed Lea. outside. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 129 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 129 Chapter 129 The Birthday Banquet There were many, many people at the banquet venue. Kisa did not walk through the hall, but rather, she went around the side door into the courtyard. Yet, she could still see how packed the hall was through the window. As Mr. Case Sr. was seated at the innermost position of the hall, the first thing the guests. would do when they arrived was to greet him and exchange a few pleasantries. Therefore, everyone was gathered inside the hall. Conversely, the courtyard had much fewer people, and that suited Kisa just fine. She quickly carried the tray and ced it on the table. Just as she was about to rush back to the kitchen, a guest called out to her, ¡°Waiter, two sses of wine, please.¡± Kisa paused for a moment, wondering if she was the one being called. After all, there was not only her who was the staff in the courtyard. ¡°What are you standing there for? I¡¯m calling you. Why are the waiters here so slow?¡± ¡®Alright, he was calling to me.¡® Kisa gave up. She did not want to cause trouble, let alone be recognized, so she quickly brought two sses of wine over. She lowered her head a little and respectfully handed the sses of wine over to the guest without even seeing what the guest looked like. ¡°Come, Mr. Kooper. Cheers.¡± When she heard the name Gilbert, Kisa shuddered, and the tray almost slipped out of her hand. ¡®What misfortune. How did I even run into Gilbert like this?¡± She could now only hope that Gilbert did not recognize her and not expose her even if he did. To calm herself down, she lowered her head even more, so much so she could only see their feet. ¡°Mr. Kooper, look at this waitress, bowing like a dog. No wonder she¡¯s only fit to be a waitress for her whole life. She even wanted to ck off just now.¡± ¡°You were also bowing and prostrating yourself when you spoke to me earlier. Are you mocking yourself there?¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert¡¯s cold voice rang out, causing Kisa¡¯s heart to shudder violently. Fortunately, he was making fun of that guest and did not seem to recognize her. ¡°Hahaha, Mr. Kooper, you sure know how to crack a joke. Come¡­ let¡¯s toast.¡± When the other wine ss on the tray was taken away by the guest, Kisa immediately fled to the kitchen as if she was running for her life. Soon, the sound of footsteps rang out behind her. Kisa¡¯s legs trembled as she walked even faster to the side door of the manor. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± Suddenly, Sharon¡¯s voice rang out, and fortunately for her, she had already darted into the side door. ¡°Gilbert, what are you doing here?¡± Sharon gave the surrounding a curious look, ¡°It¡¯s so deserted here.¡± Gilbert looked on grimly at the side door and, a momentter, said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Let¡¯s go.¡± When she got back to the kitchen, Kisa¡¯s heart was still beating wildly. ¡®No, I need to make a move now. I cannot stay here for long.¡± She looked at the wall clock. It was eleven forty¨Cfive already. It was another fifteen minutes before the banquet would start. By then, everyone would gather in the hall and the courtyard, and no one would notice what would happen in the attic. The kitchen was still busy, and Kisa checked out the clock from time to time, looking a little absent¨C minded. Thankfully, Lea had already done all of her tasks for her, so the steward did not say anything either. Time passed by slowly as Kisa waited painfully. Finally, it was noon, and the banquet started. The music began to y in the hall and the courtyard. As everyone else was eating, Kisa quietly went upstairs using the esctor by the side door. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 130 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Picking the Lock ¡°Raine¡­¡± Just as she took two steps, Lea suddenly stopped her. ¡°What are you doing going up there?¡± Lea pulled her anxiously. ¡°This is the Case family, you know. What do we do if you get caught?¡± ¡°I have something important up there that I must take back,¡± Kisa looked at Lea¡¯s somewhat suspicious eyes and said, ¡°I¡¯ll exin to you about some stuffter.¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Lea went silent for a moment as the doubt in her eyes slowly disappeared. In its ce was a look of sincerity and trust. ¡°Then what help do you need from me?¡± Kisa was filled with gratitude for Lea¡¯s unconditional trust and assistance. She then said in a low voice, ¡°There are two esctors in the manor and one elevator.¡± As she said that, she pointed to a corner of the yard, ¡°Hide thereter, and you can observe the situation of those three entrances. Let me know if someone is going upstairs.¡± Lea gave her a puzzled look but did not pry further as she solemnly nodded, ¡°Alright, go see to your business.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Kisa shook Lea¡¯s hand before rushing upstairs. The banquet was now in full swing, and sure enough, there was no one upstairs as it was quiet all the way. Kisa soon arrived at the attic on the top floor. She first tried to turn the doorknob, but as expected, it could not be opened. She did not have the key. Sharon and Carolyn would definitely not hand her the key, so she had prepared a lockpicking tool before she came. Kisa was not good at lockpicking, but fortunately for her, she had watched some video tutorials online and practiced many times at home, so she could still pick open a normal house door. She looked around her. After making sure there was no one around, she took out the wire and poked inside the keyhole. Perhaps because she was afraid that someone might suddenly walk over, Kisa felt nervous, and her hands trembled a little as she picked the lock. But when she remembered that she would soon be able to get her mother¡¯s belongings, she felt a hint of excitement. After picking for another ten odd minutes, a click was heard, and the lock inside had obviously moved. Kisa was overjoyed and quickly turned the knob. The attic was quiet and a little dark. The stacks of items inside were also a little messy. She quickly closed the door behind her and started ruminaging to look for her mother¡¯s belongings. In the end, she found a photo album inside a cardboard box. The album was weathered and dusty. She hurriedly opened the photo album, and tears immediately flowed. Her mother¡¯s photographs were really inside it. However, some of the photos had been deliberately scratched with a de, and the contours. of her face could no longer be distinguished. She closed the album and continued to search the box. There were many items in the box, including clothes, essories, and a few notebooks. Kisa picked up a book and flipped through it. It was all her mother¡¯s notes. She tearfully hugged the notebook, her heart filled with thoughts of her mother. However, this was not the time to reminisce about her mother. She had to leave this ce quickly The contents of this box were undoubtedly her mother¡¯s personal effects when she was still alive. She was finally here and needed to take all of them back with her. But a box was not easy to carry, and it would be very conspicuous. Kisa quickly wiped her tears away and searched for a bag inside the house. As soon as she found two dirty old paper bags, the door suddenly opened with a ck. Kisa¡¯s heart sank. She subconsciously looked for a ce to hide, but it was toote. She only saw a tall silhouette against the light walking in. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 131 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 131 Chapter 131 Raine, Look Out! Kisa stood beside the rack like a sculpture. Her heart was pounding so hard, and her whole body went taut. ¡°Raine?¡± Suddenly, the person called her name when she was thinking of how to escape ¡°This voice sounds familiar, just like Howard¡¯s voice. Is Howard here for Nichs¡¯s birthday celebration too?¡± When the person came closer, Kisa could finally see his face clearly through the window light It¡¯s really Howard.¡® ¡°Why did youe up here?¡± Kisa was so shocked. ¡®He is a celebrity now and has a coboration with Sharon. It makes sense that he is here for Nichs¡¯s birthday celebration. But why did hee up to the attic?¡® Howard frowned and looked anxious. ¡°I identally saw youe up here when I was in the yard. I¡¯m worried about you. You haven¡¯te back for such a long time. I¡¯m afraid that you will face any danger, so I came up to take a look. Raine, what are you trying to do up here? This is the house of the Case family.¡± Kisa did not answer him. She looked at him suspiciously. ¡®I asked Lea to keep watch downstairs. It¡¯s impossible that Lea didn¡¯t inform me if he came up. Besides, I had locked the door. How did he get in?¡® ¡°You¡­ have the key for this door?¡± she asked tentatively. She could not help but take precautions against him. Howard hesitated a moment. ¡°Key? What key? This door doesn¡¯t need the key. The lock seems broken. I opened it with a twist.¡± Kisa frowned after she heard it. She immediately rushed to the door and twisted the doorknob, which was really broken. ¡®Did I identally break it when I was picking the lock?¡® Watching her disbelieving look, Howard instantly said sadly, ¡°Raine, what happened? What are you suspecting me of?¡± Kisa had a lot on her mind now. Her instinct knew something must be wrong with Howard¡¯s suddenly appearing here. But she had no time to think about it now. ¡®I have to leave as soon as possible. Whatever intrigue Sharon has, it will be pointless once I leave.¡® Instead of answering Howard¡¯s question, she took the paper bag, hurried to the side of the cardboard box, and quickly put the things in the cardboard box into the paper bag. Howard hurried to exin when he saw Kisa ignoring him. ¡°I¡¯m really worried about you. That¡¯s why I came up to take a look. What are you suspecting me of?¡± ¡°No. I¡¯m not suspecting you of anything. I just want to get away from here fast,¡± said Kisa without even looking at him. Howard pursed his lips and watched her. He could not help but wonder and asked, ¡°What are you doing right now? Is there any use for all these things?¡± N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡°I¡¯ll exin to youter.¡± Kisa put the things into the paper bag even faster while saying it. Howard stared at her with his ominous eyes for a while. Suddenly, he moved stealthily over to a bookcase. ¡®This bookshelf is right in front of her. If it topples, it will surely hit her.¡® At that moment, his fist clenched, battling out some inner struggle. However, when he thought of Sharon¡¯s words, he squinted, and a ruthless look appeared on his face. Behind the bookshelf, he quietly reached out the bookshelf and then pushed hard¡­ ¡°Raine, look out!¡± Howard shouted out immediately and pounced on her quickly. Howard held Ksa and rolled on the floor when the bookshelf was about to hit her. The bookshelf pinned the cardboard box down with a crash. Kisa was in shock. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°I saw the bookshelf shaking just now. I was worried it would fall before I could tell you about it, and it did. Are you okay?¡± Howard wrapped her underneath and asked with an anxious look. Kisa shook her head. Suddenly, the door was opened by someone when she pushed him away and was about to get up hastily. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 132 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 132 Chapter 132 Her True Identity Revealed When the door finally opened, dozens of shlights were pointed in the direction of Kisa and Howard. The noise of shutter, exmation, and footstep urred simultaneously. Kisa was overwhelmed. It all happened so quickly that she could not react. She and Howard were still maintaining their seemingly intimate position. The attic was full of people. There were excited journalists, guests stood on the sidelines, the Case family members with smug faces, and¡­ Gilbert. Everything was a trap, and she really fell right into it. Sharon smirked, and Anthony snickered in the middle of the crowd. Only Gilbert showed a gloomy face. His thoughtful eyes seem to brew unspoken disappointment and hatred. ¡°Get up! You¡¯re shameless!¡± Suddenly, Kisa¡¯s father, Christopher Case, rushed out. He grabbed her and cursed her badly, ¡°I can¡¯t believe you were hiding here and fooling around with this man during your grandpa¡¯s birthday celebration! Are you trying to piss off your grandpa? I shouldn¡¯t have taken you back in. You really destroyed the reputation of the Case family.¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. The crowd spoke feverishly after Christopher¡¯s words were out. ¡°Mr. Christopher, did you say she is Kisa, the daughter you brought home in the past?¡± ¡°Oh my God! Is she really the wife of Mr. Kooper, the CEO of GK Pictures?¡± Kisa¡¯s heart felt sad facing all of this, but it was also full of great irony. Christopher revealed her true identity with just a word. While her true identity was clear, it not only affected the reputation of the Case family but also destroyed the reputation of Gilbert and GK Pictures. ¡®Ha¨Cha! Sharon really went all out to frame me and make Gilbert hate me. She not only destroyed the family¡¯s reputation but also dragged her crush into it. Besides, Christopher really loves her. He sacrificed the family¡¯s reputation to frame me in order to aplish this n together with his daughter. I¡¯m so unlucky to have such a ruthless dad. ¡® She red at Christopher and Sharon. At this moment, she did not dare to look at Gilbert¡¯s face. Christopher was also a talented performer in front of journalists. He put on a sorrow face and snarled at Kisa, ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯te to celebrate your grandpa¡¯s birthday. Why did you hide here and fool around with this man at your grandpa¡¯s birthday celebration? You know that there are a lot of guests today, and you deliberately want to ruin the reputation of the Case family. Do you want to piss your grandpa and me off?¡± ¡°That is! We all have always loved you. You made such a big mistake back then, and we don¡¯t me you much. Is this how you show your gratitude?¡± Carolyn and Christopher echoed to each other. Their words had confirmed Kisa¡¯s identity. The journalists all looked at Gilbert and scrambled to ask questions. ¡°Mr. Kooper,st time, you said she was just a servant of the Kooper family. How do you exin this?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, why did you lie earlier? Are you worried she will fool around with male celebrities and stain GK Pictures¡¯s reputation?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, your wife was supposed to die five years ago, but now she is alive again. Is there any story behind this?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, what do you think of your wife¡¯s rendezvous with other men in this attic?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, please answer.¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper¡­¡± Numerous questions were thrown at Gilbert.

Even if Kisa did not look at him, she could feel his icy gaze She clutched the hand at her side and felt a chill running up her spine. ¡°Mr. Kooper, what do you mean by not answering? Are you trying to avoid the question?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, you lie in front of the media. Does it mean that GK Pictures has some problems with its integrity and credibility?¡± Some reporters had already started to implicate GK Pictures¡¯s reputation. In the crowd, Anthony smiled smugly and sinisterly with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Kisa gritted her teeth in hatred. The only thing she could not understand was why Sharon, who imed to love Gilbert, would team up with Anthony to take on Gilbert and even bring down GK Pictures. It seemed to her that if Sharon¡¯s purpose was to frame her and make Gilbert. disgust her, then Sharon¡¯s love for Gilbert was too maniptive and imperious. ¡°Mr. Kooper, what do you mean by not answering questions? What actually happened isn¡¯t what you said at the press conference. How do you exin that?¡± ¡°Absolutely. You are the CEO of thepany, but you lie in front of the media Could remain in Calthon when news of this leaks out?¡± you still ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about whether I can remain in Calthon.¡± Gilbert spoke atst. He was in the wrong, but his icy voice and powerful aura still daunted the reporters. Some reporters dare not ask more questions. Some other looked at Anthony¡¯s face and continued to ask. ¡°Mr. Kooper, please give a reasonable exnation for thest press conference.¡± ¡°Yeah, Mr. Kooper. Why are you lying?¡± Kisa clenched her hand at her side and said in a deep voice, ¡°He didn¡¯t lie.¡± All the reporters looked at her at once. Gilbert also looked at her, but his eyes were cold. Kisa did not dare to look at him but looked away and said slowly to the reporters, ¡°I was someone who had been dead for five years. Since I reappeared in front of him, I was just Raine Watson, and he only thought I was Raine, Arie¡¯s assistant and the Kooper family¡¯s maid. So he wasn¡¯t lying that day at the press conference.¡± ¡°But that is just your word against yours.¡± ¡°Do I have any reason to lie to you?¡± Kisa sneered. ¡°If Gilbert had recognized me, why would I have had to deny my true identity at the press conference and admit that I was only a servant of the Kooper family, and that youughed and insulted me like that?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t try to justify Mr. Kooper¡¯s lie. It is a fact that he lied to the press.¡® ¡°I¡¯m not excusing him. The truth is, he didn¡¯t even know I was Kisa. If you think it is a lie to say something like that without knowing it, there are plenty of people in the world who lie.¡± ¡°Then if you were the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO, why didn¡¯t you admit your true identity and instead fooled around with a male artist?

Seeing that the reporters had directed their attention to her, Kisa felt somewhat relieved. But Gilbert still looked at her with a frosty expression. He was standing in the crowd with his hands in his pockets, not saying a word. He was smiling even, but it made her feel bone- chillingly cold.

She grew up with a lot of inappropriate behavior and a messy personal life. We helped her cover it up. If we had known, we would have been tougher on her It is all because I spoiled her. So please don¡¯t press her anymore ¡± Carolyn trampled her reputation and character underfoot, making Kisa sound like a promiscuous, notorious woman.

She had been very careful, even pretending to be a maid to get into the Case residence. So she wondered why she still fell for Sharon¡¯s tricks and which. part of the process had gone wrong. ¡°You have been unconscious for most of the day. It is already nighttime.¡± ¡°What about the newspapers?

What did the press write about it?¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Lea sighed and showed Kisa the newspaper she had bought outside that afternoon. Kisa eagerly spread out the newspaper, nced at it cursorily, and could not stop shivering The newspaper reported on the integrity of Gilbert and GK in half of the pages, full of rebuke and criticism of what Gilbert said. The other half of the story was about her cheating on her husband and having an affair with a male artist.

Whether she disguised as a maid or not, and whether Sharon discovered her whereabouts, as long as she wanted to get back her mother¡¯s belongings, she would fall into this trap. A chill ran up in her spine as she thought about this. It turned out that no matter what, she was always in the open and the trap was always in the dark. She wrapped her arms around her knees helplessly as she kept ming herself. ¡®If I hadn¡¯t been so desperate to get back my mother¡¯s belongings, I wouldn¡¯t have been used by Sharon and Anthony. What should I do now? What can I do to restore GK Pictures¡¯s reputation? If Mrs. Kooper Sr. were still awake, she would be disappointed in me.¡® The more she thought about it, the more upset she became, and tears of helplessness and remorse fell involuntarily. Seeing this, Lea put her arms around her and cried. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have let you take up this temporary job.¡± The mention of this temporary maid job puzzled Kisa again. After all, Lea had never taken on any private work. So she wondered why the two temporary maids had failed to show up and Lea and she were the recement. It seemed that someone had prearranged the coincidence. She looked at Lea. ¡°Who introduced you to the Case family as a temporary maid?¡± ¡°A friend of mine,¡± Lea said. Kisa wanted to find out more about Lea¡¯s friend, so she asked, ¡°What friend? Do you contact information?¡± have Lea¡¯s expression suddenly changed, as if she was hiding something. ¡°J¨CJust one of my regrs. He told me verbally, I don¡¯t have his contact information.¡± Kisa thought she was ashamed of her upation, so she did not ask further. Just then, Lea suddenly pursed her lips and looked at her with strange eyes. ¡°I just found out you are the same Kisa, the former Missy of the Case family, the wife of Gilbert.¡± now that ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to hide it from you. It is just that there are things I can¡¯t look back on.¡± Lea shook her head in panic. ¡°I¡¯m not ming you. I just didn¡¯t expect that my good friend was once a member of a powerful family.¡± ¡°People in the gentry may not be as happy as you are,¡± Kisa said in a serious tone, her eyes ncing at the darkness outside the window anxiously. After such an incident, she could not sit still. She had to exin to Gilbert and ask him what to do next. She learned from Davian that Gilbert was not returning to The Sandy Bay tonight, but to the Kooper residence. When she arrived at the Kooper residence, the courtyard was dark, except for a faint light coming from Gilbert¡¯s room on the second floor. George opened the door for her, but he said nothing and went back to his room afterward Kisa pursed her lips, her eyes. reddening. She knew that even George was disappointed in her. Kisa wanted to exin, but she was the cause of this incident, and she felt powerless even to do so. Gilbert¡¯s door was slightly ajar. She took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and slowly walked in Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 137 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 137 Chapter 137 Can You Have One True Word Out Of Your Mouth? A dim wallmp illuminated the room. Gilbert was digging his hands into his pants pockets, standing quietly in front of the window with his back to her, looking a bit lonesome. She wrung her hands as she walked over to him nervously. ¡°Gilbert, w will you listen to my exnation?¡± He said nothing. There was only silence in the air. She pursed her lips and whispered, ¡°It was Sharon who set me up. I didn¡¯t fool around with. Howard. I was in the loft of the Case residence, just trying to get my mother¡¯s belongings back. Gilbert finally turned around and looked at her quietly, his look of disappointment and disgust hurting Kisa. She bit her lip, holding back the sadness that swept through her. ¡°The only reason I went to the Case residence and dressed as a maid was to get my mother¡¯s belongings back, but Sharon and Anthony had already set this up. They bribed Howard to y the part on purpose. ¡°What I saw was that he had you pinned down.¡± Gilbert looked at her, his lips curled in a faint smile, but his eyes were extremely icy. Kisa shook her head vigorously. ¡°It was Howard who deliberately knocked down the bookshelf and then made it look as if we had something between us. But actually, nothing happened between me and him.¡± Gilbert shook his head andughed, his tone full of disappointment and weariness. ¡°Stop being sophomoric, okay? Can you have one true word out of your mouth?¡± Kisa clutched the hem of her clothes, her vision blurring with a lump in her throat. ¡®He really doesn¡¯t believe me. No matter what I say, he won¡¯t believe me.¡® ¡°I warned you not to go anywhere today. Why wouldn¡¯t you listen to me?¡± He walked up to her and said with hatred, ¡°Are you happy now? Are you satisfied that you have paved the way for the man you love and made me and GK Pictures aughingstock?¡± Kisa shook her head repeatedly. ¡°I didn¡¯t. It was Sharon ¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough,¡± Gilbert shouted. ¡°Why do you do such a shameless thing and still want to use others? You say it was Sharon who set you up, then how do you exin Christopher and Carolyn? Would they rather harm the reputation of the Case family in order to set you up? Do you think it is something honorable for you as a member of the Case family to fool around with men in the attic of the Case residence?¡± The man¡¯s rebuke stabbed into her heart like a knife. She choked out a reply. ¡°That is the truth. Why don¡¯t you believe it?¡± Gilbert shook his head in disappointment. ¡°You made me a cuckold in front of the media to hype the man you love, and damaged GK Pictures¡¯s reputation. You can love that man for all you want. But why do you have to drag me and GK Pictures into it? Do you really think I won¡¯t dare to do anything to you?¡± His eyes gradually turned scarlet as he went aggressive. Kisa wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and choked. ¡°Since you don¡¯t believe me, I have nothing to say. I admit that I have caused GK Pictures into disrepute. I will do anything to help restore GK Pictures¡¯s reputation.¡± ¡°No need,¡± Gilbert yelled abruptly, and then sneered. ¡°Do you think it is really GK Pictures¡¯s reputation that I care about?¡± He took one step closer to her. ¡°Because of you, I have be aughingstock of the entire Calthon. Do you know what those people are saying about me behind my back?¡± The look in his eyes was terrifying. Kisa subconsciously stepped back, her heart trembling.

He approached slowly, and she stepped back, finally backing up against the edge of the bed and she fell sitting on the bed. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 138 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 138 Chapter 138 Revenge Before the Divorce ¡°I¡¯m really curious¡­¡± Gilbert bent over, propped both hands on the edge of the bed, and confined her to his arms, ¡°whether I¡¯m really inferior to Howard¡± ¡°No, it is not¡­¡± Kisa shook her head in panic. ¡°Don¡¯t listen to the media. There is nothing between me and Howard ¡± ¡°If you had nothing to do with him, would you drag me down again and again just to hype him up?¡± Gilbert said, suddenly tugging at his tie. Kisa panicked. ¡°Gilbert, what are you doing?¡± ¡°What am I doing?¡± Gilbertughed softly, his cold eyes devoid of any sentiment, only mockery ¡°You set me up and manipted me five years ago. Now¡­ heh.¡± ¡°No!¡± Realizing what the man was about to do, she panicked and tried to escape, but was quickly dragged back by her feet. ¡°No, Gilbert¡°¡± she hissed, but could only see his cold, mocking eyes of the man on top of her. He really hated her, so much so that he wanted her dead. Their rtionship had come to the point of no return. The time was iparably long. Bruises covered her shoulders, chest, and arms. Gilbert got up with no hesitation and barely looked at her. He picked up the clothes on the floor and put them on. Soon, he was fully dressed while she, on the bed, looked too much of a messpared to how well he was dressed. He was wearing a tie and sneered. ¡°You are no better than that. Five years ago, you made me sick, and now you make me sicker.¡± She felt hurt emotionally as much as physically, feeling as if suffocated Kisa looked at Gilbert from behind and bit on the back of her hand to keep herself from crying out. She always knew he had always hated her, but she never expected he would humiliate her this way. Gilbert had gotten dressed and was heading outside, as if staying with her for one more moment was disgusting. He reached the door and halted in his tracks. He did not look back at her, but just said indifferently, ¡°I will ask Davian to send over the divorce papers. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Kisa could no longer control her tears. She looked at the man¡¯s departing back and sobbed uncontrobly, then curled up into a ball of pain. She had never felt like his wife, but when he said he wanted to divorce her, it still hurt. Kisa would agree to a divorce, but not under such a circumstance. ¡®What is this? A revenge, humiliation before the divorce?¡® The next day, the media became increasingly relentless in their reporting about what happened yesterday in the Case residence, and GK Pictures¡¯s reputation had been severely dented. Gilbert threw the newspaper on the table and kneaded his brow wearily. Davian huffed, ¡°This is outrageous The media are shameless.¡± Gilbert said nothing. Davian picked up the newspaper and read it again, and his face turned red with anger. ¡°It is okay for them to nder GK Pictures, but how can they even attack you personally, saying that you are wet noodle, that you can¡¯t keep your wife, that you¡¯re a cuckold?

The north of the city was a remote area with ongoing development, the road condition was bad with few shops opening there. Kisa quietly sat in a window seat in the cafe. The business in the cafe was poor, and there was no one else but her. The soft music did not rx her, as she clenched her phone and stared icily at the cafe door. It did not take long before a man wearing a baseball cap and sunsses walked briskly. He first raised his eyes and looked around, then hurried toward her. ¡°Kisa, I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t expect that to happen yesterday. Are you okay?¡± The man was Howard, who seemed to be very cautious and kept looking around Kisa let out a faint smile with her eyes down. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I checked when I came. There are no reporters around here, unless you secretly alerted them Howard¡¯s expression changed, and he smiled with surprise. ¡°How is this possible? Why would I alert the reporters? I couldn¡¯t be more desperate in avoiding them,¡± he took off his sunsses and said with a worried face. ¡°If the media catches us together again after what has happened yesterday, you won¡¯t be able to clear your name again.

Kisa, why are you doubting me again? What happened yesterday has nothing to do with me. I was simply worried about you and wanted to save you. Kisa sneered. ¡°When I went to the Case residence¡¯s loft to get my mother¡¯s belongings, I had my best friend stand guard at the stairs. If anyone had gone up there, she would have informed me immediately, but she never saw you go up there. So from the beginning, you were waiting upstairs for me to show up, ready for the acting. In fact, you have already been working with Sharon, right?¡± Howard clutched his coffee cup and could not find a word to respond. Kisa continued. ¡°In fact, you don¡¯t have to lie to me. I sent someone to Mullenby to check again; the grave is empty. You don¡¯t have any sister, and the so¨Ccalled ¡®sister¡® is just a cover you made up to get close to me. You deliberately approached me to take advantage of my identity as the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO to hype yourself. You knew my identity from the very beginning and told the media about me.

I was willing to give up my life to help you get your role back, but you teamed up with Sharon to set me up.

After these two news incidents, your poprity has gone through the roof and almost everyone knows your name, but how long do you think you can keep that up? When this is over, do you think anyone will remember you? Do you think Gilbert will let you remain in the entertainment industry, given who he is?¡± A look of fright appeared on Howard¡¯s face. ¡°Kisa, I didn¡¯t mean to hurt you; it was Sharon who threatened me. I only wanted to use your identity to make myself famous. I never expected this would happen.¡± Kisa¡¯s expression eased up slightly, and she said in a low voice, ¡°The fame you have built up by using my identity won¡¯tst.

But what do you get from working with Sharon and Anthony?¡± Kisa said, looking at him. Howard was in a dilemma as he stirred the coffee nervously, unsure who to trust. Taking her time, she took a sip of her coffee. ¡°You know, it was GK Pictures that promoted Sharon, and she is now an international superstar. It is all up to you if you want to be the next international superstar.¡± The words ¡®international superstar¡® were so tempting to him Howard was in a predicament for a long while before he finally said, ¡°Okay, I promise you I will expose Sharon and Anthony at the press conference tomorrow Kisa smirked ¡°Then I will see how you do that tomorrow.¡± After Howard left, Davian came out of the bathroom. ¡°Did you send someone to follow him?¡± Kisa asked in a soft voice as she looked out the window at the man driving away in his car. Davian nodded. ¡°The man I sent is better than the paparazzi Howard won¡¯t know it.¡± Kisa suddenly leaned back in her chair like a deted balloon. Davian looked at her. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, do you think he will expose Anthony and the others at the press conference tomorrow?¡± ¡°He better do what I say, or else. ¡°Kisa narrowed her eyes ¡°I will make him regret it Davian was staggered, seeing the icy look of the woman in front of him.

She thought he would stay at the Kooper residence for the next few days.

Even the people in this vi looked at her with strange eyes, and the way they addressed her did not sound right. Gilbert leaned against the cab by the window and smoked, not sparing her a nce, as if she was just a stranger. Kisa pursed her lips and walked upstairs. Had she not had to apany Madalyn, she would not have stayed here. After walking a few steps, Sharon suddenly came out of the washroom and called out joyfully, ¡°Kisa, you¡¯re back?¡± She did not expect to see Sharon here. After a moment of shock, she continued to walk upstairs. She told herself that everything would be over tomorrow, anyway. Whether or not Howard worked with Sharon, she would end it all, so she did not want to get into any trouble with this woman at the moment. But Sharon was tugging at her and would not let her go. ¡°I told you many times that I would help you find your mother¡¯s belongings and bring them to you, but why did you sneak off to the attic yesterday dressed as a maid? I now have some doubts whether your real purpose is to retrieve your mother¡¯s belongings. The belongings aren¡¯t really a pretext for you to ruin the birthday party and damage the reputation of the Case family, are they?¡± Kisa stared at her with frosty eyes. She was appalled that Sharon was still trying to frame at this point, as if she was afraid Gilbert would learn the truth. ¡°Well then, since you promised. me, please give me my mother¡¯s belongings.¡± ¡°I have brought them all to you. Kisa was wide¨Ceyed, not expecting Sharon to return her mother¡¯s belongings so easily this time. When Sharon brought a paper box over, she could not wait to rush over and check out. the contents. But most of the things inside were not her mother¡¯s, except for a notebook, which had been so maliciously wet that even the handwriting on it was illegible. She clearly saw yesterday that the notebook was in good condition, full of her mother¡¯s handwriting recording her mother¡¯s life. She looked at Sharon in anguish. Sharon looked at her triumphantly and gave her an icy smile. ¡°B*tch!¡± Anger surged, and Kisa raised her hand to p Sharon. Before her hand could touch. Sharon, arge hand grabbed hers. She looked up, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw Gilbert¡¯s grim eyes. ¡®No matter when or where, this man always protects other women, never me.

But the next moment, the man flung her away mercilessly, sending her to crash into the corner of the cab She felt an excruciating pain ripping through her body, and she broke into a cold sweat Kisa fell to the ground, staring at the heartless man with scarlet eyes.

She grasped the carpet with indignation, her eyes bloodshot. She suddenly let out a self¨Cdeprecatingugh. ¡°So did I. All my misfortunes started when I met you.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Gilbert smirked and stopped looking at her, instead pulling Sharon outside. It was not until they drove away in the car that Kisa tried to get up from the floor. Her back hurt like hell from hitting the cab, and her body felt as if it was going to fall apart whenever she moved. She gritted her teeth and walked slowly to the coffee table, picked up her mother¡¯s ruined notebook, and held it in her arms, then slowly walked upstairs. She trudged forward, not only the dull paining from her back but also the familiar pain that flooded. her internal organsing with each step. There were many maids around her quietly watching her stagger, but none of them came forward to help her. Sheughed at herself, thinking that probably even these maids now were thinking she was an unforgivable sinner. Cold sweat covered her forehead as she arrived back in her room. She fell sitting on the floor and searched for the pills she had with her. But after taking the usual amount of pills, the pain in her internal organs only became even more obvious. She closed her eyes and leaned against the door, quietly waiting for the pills to take effect. Every second was a torment. A minute had passed, and then two minutes passed. A quarter of an hourter, the pain was bing unbearable. She could not help but clench her bodice harder. Because of exerting too much force, her knuckles turned white. She could not wait any longer and hurriedly opened the bottle and took two more pills. Finally, the familiar pain slowly receded. And by this moment, she was drenched in sweat. Leaning feebly against the door to catch her breath, she only took out her cell phone to call Kelvin after a long while. Kelvin sounded impatient and cold over the phone. ¡°What? You are dying?¡± Kisa involuntarily clutched the phone. It seems that because of what happened yesterday in the Case residence, everyone started to dislike her, including Kelvin. At the moment, she guessed that his hatred toward her had probably doubled. Kisa tried her best to calm down her breathing. ¡°Why are the medicinal effects of the pills you gave me getting worse and worse?¡± ¡°Of course, this painkiller makes it easy for the body to develop resistance. Now you feel it is getting less effective, and you need to increase the dosage. After that, the effect will only get worse, and you will eventually have to swallow the entire bottle of pills and it will not work. All you can do by then is to die a painful death.¡± Kelvin¡¯s tone was resentful. ¡°If I had known that, I would not have given you the pills and let you die of pain, saving you from brutalizing Gilbert. A leopard can¡¯t change its spots; you are bad at heart.¡± ¡±? Facing Kelvin¡¯s tirade, Kisa did not retort. She was silent for a few seconds and then said, understand. Thank you.¡± She hung up the phone, only to have a mouthful of blood spurt out in the next second. She braced herself on the floor and stared at the pool of blood. Now that the pain and spitting blood were bing more frequent, she was afraid that she would not even have six months left. After everything was over tomorrow, she figured she had to spend time with Madalyn and try to wake her up Now waking up Madalyn was the only thing she wanted to do before she died As soon as Madalyn woke up, she could prove her innocence ¡®How wonderful!¡® she thought Kisay on the floor, imagining Madalyn waking up, and she broke out in a smile Club Enigma, Room 301 A waitress was crouching on the floor, barking like a dog, while a group of rich kids gathered around, making a scene.

Seeing that, those rich kids were a little scared and stoppedughing. Anthony sneered as he dug his hands into his pockets with a foot on the coffee table. He smiled at Gilbert. ¡°How does it feel to be a cuckold?¡± Gilbert looked at him without saying a word. Seeing that Gilbert was not angry, and thinking that GK Pictures¡¯s reputation was going to the dogs, the rich kids were emboldened and taunted him along with Anthony. ¡°Yeah, your wife is even interested in a male artist. Is she too hungry or are you not good enough?¡± ¡°Actually, if you can¡¯t get it up, you can tell us earlier We can always give you a helping hand. instead of benefiting that male artist.¡± ¡°Haha, that woman might be ugly, but she is at least the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO. If a random male artist could sleep with her, why not gentry like us?¡± BAM! A fist swung violently over in the rich kid¡¯s face as soon as his voice trailed off. He fell on the coffee table, covering his jaw and staring at Gilbert in shock and anger. ¡°H¨CHow dare you hit me?¡± Gilbert took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and said slowly, ¡°Who else has the guts to say again what he just said?¡± The rich kids were all scared. They all shrank back, not daring to say anything. The one who had been hit curled up in a corner, not daring to make a sound, but staring at Anthony expectantly.

His face was covered in blood; apparently, he had been in a fight. He nced at her with scarlet eyes and then staggered in. Seeing that he was about to fall, Kisa subconsciously went to help him, but he pushed her away. ¡°Go away.¡± Kisa took several steps backward and her back ended up against the sofa.

Inside the car, Gilbert smoked a cigarette and spoke in a depressed tone. ¡°Did she hesitate when she signed?¡± Davian subconsciously shook his head. ¡°Mr. Kooper, why don¡¯t you just void the divorce. agreement? After today-¡± ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary. Drive.¡± Kisa¡¯s non¨Chesitation proved that she also wanted to divorce him and break away from him. He stared soberly at the graceful handwriting at the signature, his five fingers tightening together. The press conference was even bigger than thest one. Gilbert became the center of attention as soon as he showed up, including the injury on his face. ¡°Mr. Kooper, I heard you had a fight at Club Enigmast night. Was it because of your wife?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, by holding a press conference today, you are ready to exin to the media, aren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, why didn¡¯t your wife show up today? Is she afraid to face the media?¡± As Gilbert walked to his seat, reporters followed. Davian and his bodyguards were sweating as they struggled to hold off the reporters. At this moment, Sharon, Howard, and the Case family all had arrived. Christopher came to the press conference for the sole purpose of severing his rtionship with Kisa in front of the media. Gilbert was just sitting down when the reporters came with another wave of questions. ¡°Mr. Kooper, yesterday your wife had a secret rendezvous with Howard despite the allegation. What do you make of that?¡± When the reporter asked this, the footage of Kisa and Howard¡¯s meeting yesterday was suddenly yed on the electronic screen at the press conference. Gilbert clenched his hands on his knees and stared at the screen with shrewish eyes. The reporters did not miss any expression on his face and hurried to ask questions. ¡°Mr. Kooper, how do you feel about your wife¡¯s repeated betrayal of you?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, don¡¯t you care about your wife? Why did you let her hang out with male artists?¡± ¡°Gilbert and I have agreed to divorce.¡± Kisa suddenly appeared. There was an uproar as all the cameras were on her. Kisa looked at Gilbert and said slowly, ¡°From now on, I am no longer his wife and not the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO. My personal life has nothing to do with Gilbert and GK Pictures, So please don¡¯t link me with GK Pictures anymore.¡± Gilbert quietly stared at her, his calm expression revealing nothing of his emotion. ¡°But it is true that you were seeing a male artist when you were the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO, and it is also true that Mr. Kooper lied in the first ce.¡± This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. ¡°Who said I was seeing a male artist? What evidence do you have?¡± Kisa asked coldly as she walked to her seat. At this moment, Howard¡¯s eyes became evasive, as if he had a guilty conscience. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 145 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 145 Chapter 145 What an Ardent Love for Each Other The reporter pointed to the electronic screen and said, ¡°The day before yesterday, you were with Howard in the Case residence¡¯s loft; we saw it all Yesterday, you had a secret rendezvous with Howard. The evidence is overwhelming. How else can you exin?¡± ¡°Even if you have agreed to divorce Mr. Kooper, it is a fact that you cheated on him first, and it is also a fact that Mr. Kooper was cuckolded.¡± When the reporter finished, Howard seized the microphone and said, ¡°Please leave Ms Birker alone. It is our fault that we were too much in love with each other I would give up anyth for her, and she promised to divorce for me. Neither of us is at fault It is just that we have met each other toote.¡± The room erupted again at Howard¡¯s words. Gilbert suddenly looked at Kisa with a sneer, his eyes as icy as frost ¡°I didn¡¯t know that he was actually the reason you couldn¡¯t wait to sign the divorce papers Oh, what an ardent love for each other.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and said nothing. She had not expected Howard to be so shameless as to tell the media that he was having an affair with her. Now it was basically certain that Howard had suddenly switched sides. If she had not put in a n B yesterday, Sharon and Howard would have their way again today. The reporters followed Howard¡¯s words and started to ask questions again, with a tone full of condemnation of Kisa. The snoops even brought up the topic of GK Pictures¡¯s reputation Kisa clenched her hands and winked at Davian, who nodded instantly At once, the electrozi screen started to y the conversation between Kisa and Howard that day, which went well with the images ying on the screen. ¡°You knew my identity from the very beginning and told the media about me ¡°So from the beginning, you were waiting upstairs for me to show up, ready for the acting in fact, you have already been working with Sharon, right?¡± As the conversation became public, Howard and Sharon¡¯s faces turned pale Even the face of Anthony, who was standing in the crowd, also turned pale. This turn of events also stunned the reporters, rendering them speechless. Sharon stood up at once. ¡°This is nonsense. Since when am I in cahoots with Howard?¡± she said, ring at Kisa. ¡°You guys are so shameless. You have ruined your own reputation and now try to drag me down with you. No one should believe this conversation. Who knows if it was deliberately staged?¡± Howard¡¯s face turned pale, and he stared at Kisa almost in disbelief. Kisa sneered. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t I have gotten myself into trouble again if I hadn¡¯t recorded it?¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Howard¡¯s expression became hideous. ¡°I underestimated you.¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. The reporters turned to Sharon and Howard because of the recorded conversation, and Sharon was eager to defend herself. ¡°How could I have framed my sister? It is obvious that their affair was exposed, and they framed me in order to save their own reputations Besides, it was my grandfather¡¯s birthday, so how could I ruin it and even damage the reputation of the Case family by framing my sister?¡± Sharon had a valid point, and the reporters were on both sides of the fence While those reporters were pursuing Kisa, she kept winking at Howard, who suddenly grabbed the microphone again. ¡°The conversation was indeed rehearsed by me and Ms Becker, including the scene of our meeting in the cafe yesterday, which was also deliberately captured by the media in order to frame Miss Case and clear our names¡± Everyone at the scene was shocked again. Davian was furious. Sharon¡¯s panicked look slowly changed to one of resignation, but with a touch of triumph creeping up her face.

Is Ms. Case innocent?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. All these have nothing to do with Ms. Case. I framed her because I wanted to prove my innocence.¡± ¡°Then why are youing clean now?¡± ¡°Because I felt uneasy. I¡¯ve never done such a cruel thing before, and I felt bad when I saw Ms. Case trying to exin and prove herself. I know Ms. Becker will be mad at me for doing this, since she was the one who came up with this idea. But still, I can¡¯t go against my conscience.¡± Kisa could not help but laugh when she heard Howard¡¯s confession. She had never seen such an evil person. By doing this, he pushed all the me to Kisa. He not only created a good image for himself, but also cleared Sharon¡¯s name. He killed three birds with one stone. ¡°Ms. Becker, is he telling the truth?¡± ¡°If it is, then you¡¯ve really crossed the line.¡± ¡°How can an evil person like you be the wife of GK¡¯s CEO? I guess GK should really look into theirpany¡¯s image.¡± Sharon cried louder in front of them purposely. ¡°Kisa, I¡¯ve never ever thought you¡¯d hurt me just to clear your name. What have I done to you to deserve this?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. What an ungrateful child. We have raised you until now. We made sure you¡¯re well fed and educated, and yet you did this to Sharon. Where is your conscience?¡± Carolyn suddenly stood up and yelled at Kisa. Kisa only looked at them calmly, ¡°All you want is to see me dead.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the screen switched channels. A video was ying on it. Sharon dropped to the floor out of shock when she saw the video. Her face turned pale. Howard reacted the same way too. His face was filled with shock. It was as if he had met a ghost. The video was taken at a small wooden hut. From that angle, it was obvious that it was outside of the hut, and everything was clear. Behind the window was Sharon, Howard, and Anthony. Their conversation was recorded clearly. ¡°What should we do? Kisa knows that I was the one who tipped off the media. She also knows that I teamed up with the both of you to hurt her during the birthday banquet. She knows everything now. She also asked me to admit that the both of you set her and GK up at the press conference tomorrow.¡± ¡°What are you worried about? She doesn¡¯t have any evidence.¡± ¡°Yeah. Are you worried about your image in that wench¡¯s eyes? Wake up! She¡¯s just your stepping stone to get a promotion in the acting industry¡± ¡°All you have to do tomorrow is to confirm that she cheated on you. This time, I want Gilbert and GK Pictures to go down!¡± Everyone in the room was speechless. They were taken aback by what they had just witnessed Sharon sat on the floor in a daze, her face pale.

Gilbert, you must trust me ¡± Gilbert stared at Sharon coldly, and replied indifferently, ¡°You¡¯re saying that Kisa is trying to frame you? Did she ask you to meet Howard and Anthony at the hut secretly to discuss the n?¡± ¡°No Sharon shook her head and cried, ¡°I¡¯ve never thought of hurting you or GK. It¡¯s true It¡¯s just that I love you too much. I¡¯ve never wanted to hurt you Before she could finish exining herself, the reporters had crowded her with questions ¡°As a celebrity under GK, why did you team up with Mr. Mullen from Calthon to go against GK? Are you having an affair with him?¡± ¡°No No No That¡¯s nonsense. I did not go against GK. I¡¯m not having an affair with Anthony It¡¯s all fake. Fake!¡± She was waving her hands around like a madwoman. She was trying to block all the cameras by doing so, but it was of no use. Carolyn quickly ran over to hug her and begged the reporters, ¡°Don¡¯t force my poor daughter with your questions anymore. She has always been pure and kind Why would she do something like that? As a celebrity of GK and an international star at that, she has no purpose to be involved in such dirty things.¡± ¡°But the video clearly showed ¡± ¡°It must be Kisa¡¯s n to hurt my daughter She¡¯s evil and vicious. She must¡¯ve targeted my daughter because of her innocence ¡± Kisa scoffed, ¡°The truth has beenid out I did not cheat on Howard and there is no issue with GK All these were just a set up by Gilbert¡¯s enemy to take revenge on Gilbert and GK. As for the news report, I¡¯ll leave it up to all of you to write them ¡± ¡°The reporters are not blind Carolyn¡¯s act could not change the truth¡± Gilbert stood up and left quietly When Sharon noticed him leaving, she dropped everything and chased after him. Kisa looked over the crowd and stared directly at his backside She felt a sense of relief She finally saved GK¡¯s reputation When Madalyn wakes up, she will have the confidence to talk to her Although things may seem to have returned to normal, the damage that was done cannot be reversed. The both of them cannot go back to being close again. He had already hated her even before this incident. After the truth had been revealed, Kisa walked out. As she reached a garden, a powerful force pulled her toward a big tree. Kisa looked up in horror to find Anthony¡¯s yful smirk. ¡°You wench. You¡¯re really smart. You set me up once in Athadale and you did it here once again. ¡°What do you want?¡± Kisa was slightly afraid of this man. She had always thought of him as a psychopath. ¡°Hah. What else can I do at Calthon, especially now that everyone knows about you? Initially, I thought of killing you. But after giving it some thought, it doesn¡¯t seem like the best idea. Because, I just realized, the game is better with you around.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he broke into a manicugh. Kisa had no intention to argue with him. So, she pushed him away and wanted to leave. However, Anthony pressed her against the tree trunk.

I just thought we could team up together for an interesting game.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± ¡®Anything thates out from his mouth would never be good All he wants is to get revenge on Gilbert.¡® Anthony¡¯s face turned gloomy. He said in a dissatisfied tone, ¡°Even if I choose not to kill you, I still have ways to make you suffer alive. You better think properly.¡± ¡®Thisdy is a lot more interesting than Sharon. Sharon¡¯s strength is just beauty and jealousy. ¡®But this, she¡¯s different. She would be useful in helping me plot my revenge on Gilbert¡® Anthony thought to himself. He was staring at Kisa as if he had spotted a target. Kisa tried to calm down while thinking of a way to escape. Suddenly, a motorcycle revved toward them. Anthony¡¯s face changed and he quickly dodged Kisa also tried to avoid it. But the motorcyclist carried her thin body and ced her onto the motorcycle. She squeaked out of shock. Anthony watched the motorcycle ride off. He scoffed and thought, ¡®Do you think you can run away from me?¡® The wind was blowing through Kisa¡¯s ears. She was still in a state of shock even after the motorcycle had driven a distance. At that point, she still had no clue who the motorcyclist was. After a while, the motorcyclist finally stopped at a quiet riverside. She quickly got down and looked at the motorcyclist. She was shocked to find that it was Howard. At that moment, Howard¡¯s eyes were red. They were filled with rage and anger. Kisa took a few steps back in shock. Of course, he did not take her away from Anthony to save her but to get revenge. ¡°Do you know that you¡¯ve caused me a huge loss?¡± She replied coldly, ¡°You brought it upon yourself. I gave you a chance to redeem yourself, but you didn¡¯t take it.¡± ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t take it?¡± Howardughed. ¡°Who knew if you were lying to me? I¡¯m someone with no background, power, or connections.

Is your skill destroying others?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough! All my hard work over the years is now gone because of you. Why did you do this to me? Why?¡± Howard began screaming. He seemed scary like a psychopath. As there was no one around them, Kisa felt scared. She slowly took two steps back, turned around, and ran toward the garden with all her might. But in no time, Howard dragged her back. He threw her to the ground and started yelling, ¡°You guys are lucky to have power. Why can you be the wife of GK¡¯s CEO? Why is Anthony born to be the direct sessor of The Mullen Group? Why is Gilbert born with a silver spoon? Why can Sharon be an international star without putting in any effort?

All of you deserve to die!¡± Then, he quickly got on his motorcycle and rode off like a scaredy cat. At the Kooper residence- Sharon was kneeling outside at the yard, crying her lungs out. ¡°Gilbert, please let me exin. I did not do anything to harm you and GK. Why would I destroy something which we¡¯ve built together? ¡°Don¡¯t be fooled by Kisa. She has always been cunning.

Instinctively, Gilbert raised his hands to push Kisa away. Then, her tiny body flew and knocked onto the entrance gate because of his strong push. Sharon¡¯s eyes popped out upon witnessing it.

On the other hand, Kisa fell on the floor and stared at the heartless man. Hatred. She really hated it. She thought that by revealing the truth, Sharon would definitely receive a punishment. Contrary to her assumptions, Sharon managed to escape everything. ¡®Why is it that the evil ones will never be punished, and I have to live with misfortunes and mistreatments?¡® With a heavy heart full of hatred and dissatisfaction, Kisa fainted. ¡°What?

There were a lot of people surrounding her but none of them rescued her. Howard was on the shore smiling at her; Gilbert only stood there, watching her, Sharon was smiling in satisfaction. All of them stood thereughing and watched Kisa drown slowly. That suffocating and helpless feeling gushed in her heart and woke her up. Even after waking up, those emotions were still fresh to her.

Although the media had stopped discussing about Gilbert and GK, Howard¡¯s reputation has been destroyed entirely. As for Sharon, she was not impacted at all. ording to the news, Howard was ill¨Cintended, so he was permanently banned from the entertainment industry. Even in public, strangers would tell him off frequently. Sharon was forgiven after she made a public apology. Therefore, she still maintained her status and fame. The huge difference drove Howard crazy. The media had also reported that Howard hurt Sharon in public as he held a grudge toward her on this matter. He became a wanted criminal after he was on the run. Kisa began to worry. Even the worm will turn. Now that Howard has lost everything, he would most definitely take his revenge on her. Kisa felt uneasy whenever she thought of the other day when Howard acted like a psychopath. Luckily for her, she knew how to swim. She held her breath when she fell into the river. It was only when Howard left that she came out of the water. If it was not for her skills, she would have been dead by now.

Suddenly, Sharon came into the room and broke her train of thoughts. ¡°Oh, Kisa, you¡¯re awake.¡± Sharon¡¯s arms were bandaged. She rubbed the bandage and showed it off, ¡°Oh, this is just a small injury. Gilbert was very worried that he asked me to move in. He said that I¡¯ll be protected since there are more bodyguards here.¡± Kisa pretended to ignore her presence and continued reading the papers quietly. Sharon smirked. Then, she moved to her side and bragged, ¡°We really are from different worlds. I made such a huge mistake and Gilbert still forgave me. He never said anything harsh to me about it. As for you, even if you found out the truth, you still gained a p from him.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed. During that week, Kisa and Sharon were at peace despite living under the same roof. It was just that Gilbert had never appeared, not even once. She was not sure if he did so because he hated her. As for Howard, there was no news about him which also means that he was still on the run. To her, Howard was a ticking bomb. She could not be at peace if he¡¯s not in jail. The weather outside was calm. The yard was quiet and still like a picture frame. But Kisa felt that this was just the calm before the storm. At night, Kisa requested Kelvin toe over with the excuse of getting medicine from him. ¡°Do you want to find out the truth about Madalyn¡¯s injury from five years ago?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 152 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 152 Chapter 152 Help Me Out Tomorrow Initially, Kelvin was shocked when she asked that question.

But how are we going to dig out the truth?¡± ¡°I already have a suspect in mind, I need your help to put on a show tomorrow.¡± Kelvin scratched his head, ¡°You¡¯re not trying to frame me, right? Why else would you ask me for help instead of Gilbert?¡± Kisa scoffed, ¡°Do you think he¡¯d want to help me? He will only be generous and kind to others. He despises me. If I were to ask him, I¡¯d be digging my own grave.¡± He pursed his lips, ¡°Okay then. But if you lied to me, I¡¯ll definitely bring you down.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart dropped and she pitied herself. ¡®Do these people really think that lowly of me to always assume that I¡¯m lying to them?¡®¡± The next afternoon, Gilbert rushed back home. He ran into Madalyn¡¯s room and asked Kelvin, ¡°What did you say on the phone? Grandma will wake up soon?¡± Kisa noticed Sharon¡¯s expression turned into panic, which affirmed her guess. Kelvin nced at Kisa and nodded. ¡°Madalyn reacts well to Kisa¡¯s voice. Since Kisa had been taking care of her these few days, it seems that Madalyn will be waking up soon. Based on my observation, she¡¯ll wake uptest by tomorrow night.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Gilbert moved to the bedside and held his grandmother¡¯s hand. Those cold eyes of his were finally brimming with tears. Kelvin looked away as he could not bear that sight. As the saying goes, ¡®the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment¡°. He could not imagine how disappointed Gilbert will be when the next day arrives. After all, he was just helping Kisa put on a show. In the evening, Sharon cooked up a meal for everyone. Kelvin looked at Sharon dressed with an apron. He said jokingly, ¡°It really is an honor to have a meal prepared by an A¨Clister.¡± Sharonughed, ¡°This isn¡¯t much. All of us grew up together and we¡¯re close. Whether I¡¯m an A -lister star or not, I¡¯ll always be your sister. Just let me know whenever you feel like having some of my cooking.¡± ¡°Haha, she¡¯s still the kindhearted one as always.¡± Kisa quietly observed everything. All she couldment on was that Sharon was very good at acting. After Sharon finished ting the dishes, Sharon said to everyone, ¡°I am happy to know that Madalyn is going to wake up soon. So, I specially cooked up a feast for us to celebrate.¡± Kisa stared at the dishes and started feeling cautious. In the afternoon, when Kelvin announced the news, Sharon was panicking. By right, Sharon would not be in the mood to cook for everyone. Unless there¡¯s something else in these dishes. Just as Kisa was thinking, Sharon interrupted her thoughts and said, ¡°Kisa, when Madalyn wakes up, you better apologize sincerely. She loves you so much, I¡¯m sure she wouldn¡¯t me you for pushing her down the stairs.¡± Kisa sneered, ¡°When Madalyn wakes up, the culprit won¡¯t be able to hide anymore. It¡¯s too early to decide who is the real culprit yet.¡± ¡°Enough. Let¡¯s eat.¡± Gilbert, who was silent the whole time, suddenly broke the silence This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Kisa secretly clenched her fist under the table. ¡®Even at thest second, this man still thinks of me as the culprit who tried to kill grandma.¡® However, it was because of this, she had a greater motivation to find out the truth and prove her innocence. Kisa stared at the dishes on the table carefully. She felt nervous. That night was a crucial time. There could not be any mistakes. Otherwise, Madalyn¡¯s life would be in danger too. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 153 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 153 Chapter 153 How Dramatic Everyone except Kisa started eating. Suddenly, Sharon made a dejected expression, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating, Kisa? Do you not like my cooking? If you don¡¯t like these dishes, I could make you something else.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Kisa responded coolly. Then, Kisa started eating the dishes that Sharon had eaten. ¡®Even if Sharon did something to the dishes today, I should be fine as long as I only eat the ones she¡¯s already eaten,¡® Kisa thought. She proceeded to take more of the dishes that Sharon had eaten. Out of nowhere, Sharon took out a bottle of red wine. ¡°Gilbert, Mrs. Kooper Sr. regaining consciousness is good news. Shall we have a drink to celebrate?¡± ¡°Whatever you like,¡± said Gilbert. It was hard for Kisa to tell if the reason he gave such a response was that he felt happy, or that he liked Sharon. Kisa watched as Gilbert went along with Sharon¡¯s wishes throughout the entire meal; she felt suffocated and awful. She also had to pick at her food carefully for the entirety of the meal, since she wasn¡¯t sure whether it was safe to eat. Sharon poured Gilbert and Kelvin each a ss of wine. Just as she got to Kisa, Kisa spoke, ¡°My body can¡¯t handle alcohol well, so it¡¯s better if I don¡¯t drink. You guys can go ahead.¡± ¡°Just a little won¡¯t hurt. It¡¯s a rare asion for everyone to be this happy!¡± ¡°If I said that I¡¯d die if I drank alcohol, would you still ask me to drink it?¡± Kisa asked half- jokingly. Sharon immediately looked offended and cried, ¡°Just say you won¡¯t be drinking, Kisa. Why did you have to say such a thing? It¡¯s really inauspicious to constantly say that you¡¯ll die.¡± ¡®Sharon is trying to remind Gilbert how I ¡°pretended to die¡± again,¡® she thought sarcastically As expected, Gilbert set down the wine ss unhappily. He stared at Kisa icily, ¡°When did you be so fragile that even drinking some wine would kill you? How dramatic.¡± Kisa gripped the wine ss tightly. ¡®I really have the urge to down the entire bottle of wine just to die in front of him. However, on second thought, risking my life just to spite Gilbert doesn¡¯t seem worth it. Besides, it¡¯s not like he even cares about me at all,¡® she thought. Kelvin noticed the awkward atmosphere and immediately tried to reduce the tension. ¡°Don¡¯t be like that, Gilbert. Kisa still hasn¡¯t recovered from when you hit her and sent her flying. It would be harder for her to recover if she drank,¡± he quickly said. Gilbert suddenly tightened his grip on the wine ss. He threw Kisa aplicated look, ¡°Your injury¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not bad enough to kill me.¡± Kisa responded icily Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡®I¡¯m injured because of him. There¡¯s no need for him to pretend like he regrets what he did. He¡¯s so fake!¡® she thought sarcastically Sharon thought for a bit and said with a smile, ¡°Since Kisa can¡¯t drink, we¡¯ll go ahead and drink without her I¡¯ll pour her a ss of non¨Calcoholic drinkter. Just as Gilbert and Kelvin took a sip of the wine, Sharon suddenly shouted, ¡°Oh, Ipletely forgot! It¡¯s my time of the month, so I shouldn¡¯t be drinking. Oh, what a shame!¡± Everyone understood what she meant by ¡°time of the month¡°, so nobody said a thing. Then, Sharon came back with two sses of non¨Calcoholic drinks. She ced one of them in front of Kisa and held on to the other. Kisa gazed at the bottle of wine. She was certain that Sharon had done something to it ¡®Since I¡¯m not drinking the wine, Sharon must¡¯ve also done something to this drink she just poured for me,¡® Kisa thought. ¡°Kisa, since you can¡¯t take alcohol, this drink should be fine, right?¡± Kisa narrowed her eyes at Sharon beforeughing suddenly, ¡°Of course! Thank you for pouring me the drink.¡± Then, she took a small sip Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 154 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 154 Chapter 154 Don¡¯t me Me for Being Heartless Sharon smiled, ¡°No, I should be thanking you for epting my drink.¡± Then, she downed the entire ss. After seeing how she boldly downed the ss, Kisa was certain Sharon¡¯s own drink was fine. Kisa took a few sips of her drink to avoid Sharon¡¯s suspicion. Then, she waited until everyone was busy talking and went to the washroom. When Kisa got to the washroom, she spat the liquid she had kept under her tongue into the basin. She proceeded to turn on the faucet and kept the water running. Kisa waited until no trace of the drink could be seen; then, she left the washroom. The moment she walked out of the washroom, she ran into Sharon. ¡®How attentive,¡® Kisa thought sarcastically. Just as they walked past each other, Sharon turned to Kisa and smiled, ¡°I can¡¯t wait for Mrs. Kooper Sr. to regain consciousness. How about you, Kisa?¡± ¡°Same,¡± Kisa said coolly. Then, she returned to her seat. Kelvin was a foodie, so he did not care if Sharon had done anything to their meal and ate all of the meat dishes. On the other hand, Gilbert did not continue eating. He stared nkly at the wine ss in front of him as if he were in deep thought. Everyone ate their meals quietly and returned to their own rooms. Meanwhile, Kelvin stayed in the guest room under the pretense of having too much to drink. Just as it got dark out, Kisa switched off the lights in her room. Then, she quietlyy on the bed. ¡®If Sharon did something to the drinks, she¡¯ll definitelye to check on meter. She¡¯ll only make a move when she¡¯s sure that me, Kelvin, and Gilbert are sound asleep,¡® thought Kisa. Kisa continued waiting quietly and did not dare to fall asleep. Around twelve midnight, Kisa suddenly heard someone jiggling the doorknob. Her body instantly tensed up. She continued to stay still on her bed. ¡°Kisa¡­¡± Sharon called softly. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. It was just as Kisa had expected. Kisa heard Sharon¡¯s footsteps get closer. Sharon did not switch on the lights and stood at the side of Kisa¡¯s bed, ¡°Wake up, Kisa. I have something important to tell you. Kisa?¡± Kisa did not move a muscle. All of a sudden, Sharon leaned into her ear and whispered, ¡°Wake up, Kisa. Something has happened to Mrs. Kooper Sr ¡± Kisa felt her heart skip a beat, but she managed to stay still. Since Kisa had Davian hide in Madalyn¡¯s room, if something had happened to Madalyn it would not have been so quiet outside. ¡°Haha. ¡°Sharon startedughing. She continued smugly, ¡°That¡¯s one deep slumber. When you wake up, you won¡¯t be able to see Mrs. Kooper Sr. anymore. Don¡¯t me me for being heartless, Kisa. Tomorrow, you¡¯ll be the murderer who killed Mrs. Kooper Sr. Hahaha¡­ Hahaha.. Kisa gritted her teeth with hatred. ¡®I knew she was the one who hurt Madalyn! She¡¯s even trying to kill Madalyn and frame me as the murderer now,¡® thought Kisa. The thought of being able to expose Sharon¡¯s evil scheme made Kisa¡¯s heart race. After Sharon left, Kisa quietly got up and walked out of her room. The entire vi was pitch ck and silent. Kisa went to Kelvin¡¯s room. He was so deep in his slumber that he did not notice her walking to the side of his bed. Kisa shook Kelvin hurriedly, ¡°Wake up! Hey, Kelvin? Wake up! However, there was no reaction from him. Kisa quickly ran to the bathroom and filled a basin with water, then dumped all of it on Kelvin¡¯s face. ¡°Gasp!¡± Kelvin was finally awake. ¡°What? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Kelvin asked with a confused expression. ¡°Did you forget our n for tonight? Get up!¡± Kisa said anxiously. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 155 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 155 Chapter 155 The Security Camera Has Been Cut Off Kelvin wiped away the water on his face. He turned to her, startled, ¡°How did I fall asleep? And how was I sleeping so deeply?¡± ¡°What else? Sharon put something in the dishes earlier,¡± Kisa said. Then, she hurriedly dragged him out of bed. ¡®I wonder what Sharon is doing in Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s room. Even though Davian is hiding in there, I¡¯m still feeling anxious. I need to ess the security footage as soon as possible,¡® she thought. ¡°Why do you seem fine?¡± ¡°That¡¯s because I didn¡¯t swallow my drink. I quietly went to the washroom to spit it out.¡± Kelvin was doubtful. ¡®While I did agree to cooperate with Kisa to test Sharon tonight, I won¡¯t trust her until the truth is revealed,¡® he thought. Since the two were worried that they would alert Sharon, they quietly went to the study. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you wake Gilbert up?¡± Kelvin asked why switching on theputer. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Kisa sneered, ¡°He wouldn¡¯t believe me. Even if he did, he would never cooperate with me to test Sharon. Waking him up would only ruin the n.¡± Theputer was now on. Kelvin swiftly keyed in the password and essed the security camera in Madalyn room. At the very next moment, the two were dumbfounded. Theputer screen waspletely nk. Kelvin was shocked. ¡°The security camera in Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s room has been cut off.¡± Kisa paled, ¡°Sharon must be behind this.¡± ¡®That¡¯s right. If Sharon had already done her preparations, how could she possibly forget about the security cameras?¡® she thought. Kelvin essed the security footage in the corridor just to find that it was also nk. Kisa panicked. ¡°We can¡¯t wait any longer. Let¡¯s go and take a look now.¡± ¡®I can¡¯t take any chances with Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s life on the line,¡® she thought. Meanwhile, Davian still had yet to contact Kisa. Kisa was not sure if Sharon had not made a move or if something had happened to Davian. Kelvin and Kisa arrived at Madalyn¡¯s door. It waspletely silent inside. Kisa twisted her fingers anxiously before reaching out to push the door open. Kelvin quickly tugged her hand back. ¡°Are you sure? If Sharon didn¡¯t do anything to Mrs. Kooper Sr., then you won¡¯t be able to prove that she was the perpetrator. Whatever we¡¯ve done today will go to waste.¡± say ¡®Kelvin¡¯s right. Sharon is skilled at distorting the truth, so we won¡¯t be able to prove that she¡¯s the perpetrator unless we catch her red¨Chanded. Sharon might even turn things around and that I cut off the security cameras to frame her. Moreover, Gilbert trusts Sharon over me. But Sharon¡¯s been inside the room for so long, and Davian hasn¡¯t contacted me at all,¡® Kisa thought. She was anxiety ridden.. Kisa stood indecisive in front of the door for a while. In the end, she pushed the door open. When Sharon noticed the door being pushed open, she panicked and threw aside the pillow she had been holding Then, she turned to Kisa and Kelvin, rmed. ¡°What¡­ What¡¯re you guys doing?¡± ¡°I should be asking you that. What¡¯re you doing?¡± Kisa strode over to check on Madalyn. Kelvin also did not dilly dally around and hurried over to check on Madalyn. Sharon took two steps back before ring at them with outrage, ¡°What are you trying to say? Do you think I was trying to hurt Mrs. Kooper Sr.?¡± ¡°Were you not?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you dare falsely use me!¡± Sharon said in a shrill voice. She continued, ¡°When did you see me hurt Mrs. Kooper Sr.?¡± ¡°Weren¡¯t you trying to suffocate Mrs. Kooper Sr. with that pillow?¡± At this point, Kisa felt a shiver go down her spine. ¡®If I hade in a secondter, would Mrs. Kooper Sr. have been suffocated to death already?¡® wondered Kisa. Suddenly, she thought of Davian. He had been quiet all this while, and something felt off. She stopped quarreling with Sharon and ran toward the cupboard. When Kisa opened the cupboard, she was shocked. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 156 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 156 Chapter 156 Why Did The Two of You Come in Together? Davian wasying in the cupboard, unconscious. Kisa was stunned. ¡®Did Sharon know about Davian from the very start? Was Sharon alone strong enough to knock out Davian? Moreover, Sharon¡¯s goal is to murder Mrs. Kooper Sr. and frame me. If Sharon did knock Davian out, then she wouldn¡¯t be able to frame me because it would make her a suspect. for hurting Mrs. Kooper Sr. So if it wasn¡¯t her, who knocked out Davian? Does Sharon have an aplice hiding here in the vi?¡® she wondered. At this thought, Kisa felt a chill run down her spine. ¡°Oh! Davian¡­ Why¡¯s Davian unconscious in the cupboard? What¡¯s going on?¡± Sharon cried out. She stood at the corner of the room, trembling. Her acting skills were convincing and simply unparalleled. Kisa scoffed icily, ¡°You¡¯re really good at feigning innocence. You, Davian, and Mrs. Kooper Sr. were the only people in this room. If you weren¡¯t the one who knocked out Davian, was it Mrs. Kooper Sr., then?¡± ¡°It really wasn¡¯t me!¡± Sharon shrieked as if she had been wronged. She continued, ¡°I couldn¡¯t fall asleep. Since I figured that since Mrs. Kooper Sr. could be regaining consciousness any time now, I came over to check on her. I didn¡¯t even know that Davian was in the cupboard.¡± ¡°How do you exin you holding the pillow to suffocate Mrs. Kooper Sr. then?¡± ¡°The pillows were stacked too high and wouldn¡¯t befortable for Mrs. Kooper Sr., so I tried removing a pillow. But you guys came into the room just as I¡¯d done that.¡± Kisa gritted her teeth. ¡®As expected, Sharon¡¯s too good at feigning innocence,¡® she thought. She turned to Kelvin, ¡°Is Mrs. Kooper Sr. alright?¡± Kelvin nodded. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr. has some slight difficulty in breathing but otherwise, she¡¯s fine.¡± He stared at Sharon thoughtfully. Sharon felt ufortable under Kelvin¡¯s gaze. She was not her usual gentle and soft¨Cspoken self ¡°Why are you looking at me like that? Are you having the same thoughts as Kisa? Do you also suspect me of hurting Mrs. Kooper Sr.?¡± Sharon asked. She wiped her tears and continued, ¡°Kisa has always been jealous of me, so I¡¯m fine with her falsely using me. But you¡¯re one of my closest friends; how could you team up with her and falsely use me? Moreover, why did the two of youe in together? What were the two of you plotting? Where¡¯s Gilbert? Does Gilbert know about this?¡± ¡°Know about what?¡± Gilbert suddenly appeared by the door. He looked sluggish, and his eyes were half closed. It was obvious that he had just woken up ¡®Sharon must¡¯ve gone light on the drugs It¡¯s either that or Gilbert didn¡¯t drink much,¡± thought Kisa. Kisa gazed at Gilbert intensely ¡®It¡¯s up to him to decide who he wants to trust now,¡® she thought again Gilbert scanned the room and frowned, ¡°One of you tell me, what in the world is happening?¡± And so, Kelvin told Gilbert about how he cooperated with Kisa to test Sharon Gilbert was silent He trudged over to the side of Madalyn¡¯s bed Everyone held their breath anxiously when they saw his furious expression and the disappointment in his eyes. Kelvin felt bad, so he called out to Gilbert carefully, ¡°Gilbert ¡°Shut up!¡± Gilbert growled lowly with hostility. Kisa pursed her lips and said calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t me Kelvin. I was the one who came up with the idea ¡± Suddenly, Gilbert strode over, gripped her neck, and violently pinned her to the wall.

I just wanted to find the perpetrator that hurt Mrs Kooper Sr ¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you the perpetrator?¡± Gilbert growled. Then, he tightened his grip. Kisa found it harder and harder to breathe Kelvin quickly rushed over to pull him away, ¡°Calm down, Gilbert.¡± ¡°Go away!¡± Gilbert violently pushed Kelvin away. Then, he shed a sardonic smile at Kisa, ¡°You¡¯ve never stayed put. Never. Look at you.

Her usually calm emotions instantly turned into fear. ¡®Gilbert has a soft spot for Mrs. Kooper Sr., so anything about her would make him lose his temper.

And why was Davian unconscious?¡± ¡°How would I know? I already told you. If you hadn¡¯t opened the cupboard, I wouldn¡¯t have known that Davian was in this room ¡°How do you exin Davian and Kelvin sleeping as if they had been knocked out? Moreover, you were the one who prepared our dinner just now You wanted to cook the entire meal yourself, yet you¡¯ve never done any house chores before It¡¯s hard to believe that you didn¡¯t do anything to the dishes¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you even think of trying to falsely use me! I made you all that meal because I was happy that Mrs. Kooper Sr was about to wake up. Why do you seem fine if I did something to the dishes?¡± ¡°That¡¯s because¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Gilbert suddenly roared. Kisa felt a twinge in her heart. Suddenly, she felt like arguing and exining herself was no longer necessary now. She peered at Gilbert through tears, ¡°You won¡¯t believe anything I say anymore, right?¡± Gilbert did not look at her. He massaged his pounding forehead and said to Kelvin, ¡°You, tell me the results you got from probing Sharon tonight.¡± Kelvin did not know what to say. He did not even know who to believe now. ¡®When Kisa and I entered Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s room and saw Sharon standing by Mrs. Kooper Sr. bed, I believed Kisa. However, as Sharon said, I might have been deceived by Kisa. Kisa might have nned the entire thing, and I was her puppet. She might even have hit Davian herself and hidden him in the cupboard. After all, nobody actually saw Sharon do anything to Mrs. Kooper Sr.,¡® he thought. Everyone stared at him; the atmosphere was tense.

We also can¡¯t be sure that this perpetrator is the same person who hurt grandma five years ago.¡± ¡°It really isn¡¯t me,¡± Sharon grabbed Gilbert¡¯s arm and cried. ¡°I overheard Kelvin say that grandma was going to wake soon. I came over to stay in her room so that someone would be there when she woke. I even knocked on your door, but you didn¡¯t answer. Then, they rushed in and said that I was going to harm grandma when I was clearly trying to adjust her pillows for her.¡± Gilbert did not say a thing, but from the way he looked at Sharon, Kisa knew that he would rather trust Sharon than her, not because her words were not sincere enough, but simply because Kisa wasn¡¯t the one that he favored. ¡°I think it¡¯ll be better for us to ask Davian about the person who knocked him out when he wakes up, up,¡± Kelvin said to Gilbert. ¡°Hahaha. What¡¯s the use?¡± Kisa suddenly broke intoughter, her heart torn into shreds. ¡°She knew to knock both of you out, mess with the surveince, and even knew that Davian was in here. Do you think she would be so careless as to let him see her face when she knocked him out?¡± She snarled as she pointed at Sharon. ¡°How could you use me of such things, sister? What did I ever do to you?¡± Sharon cried.¡± You said that I knocked out Davian, but wouldn¡¯t it be you who knocked him unconscious and hid him in the closet just to frame me?

Suddenly, she smiled and said, ¡°Do you really think you can get away with it just because Gilbert believes you didn¡¯t do it?¡± Before any of them could understand what her words meant, Kisa picked up the ss beside her and smashed it against the wall. ¡®At first, I thought that I¡¯d be able to catch Sharon in her act and clear up my name. But it seems that I was too naive.¡® Kisa was tired, desperate, and helpless. She knew it would be hard to try and bring Sharon down again, so she decided to sacrifice her name just to see this woman go down with her. ¡®After all, I have only a few days left to live.¡® Everything happened in a sh, and before anyone could react, Kisa had rushed over to stab Sharon with the ss shard in her hand.

She wanted nothing but to see this vicious woman get the punishment she deserved. Gilbert narrowed his eyes coldly and pushed Kisa away with all his strength.

At that time, the fear in her was gone, reced by pride. ¡°It wasn¡¯t me!¡± Kisa looked at Gilbert and said, ¡°It really wasn¡¯t me. You can ask grandma when she wakes up.¡± ¡°Do we still need a round of questioning? Grandma liked you so much back then. If you weren¡¯t the one who wanted to hurt her, how do you exin her change in attitude?¡± Kisa had nothing to say toward Sharon¡¯s ims. She thought Mrs. Kooper Sr. would be able to prove her innocence when she woke up, but her sudden change in attitude made Kisa feel powerless. ¡°Her mood is a little unstable. It¡¯d be best if you got out of here to avoid her being agitated again. As for what happened five years ago, let¡¯s wait till she calms down before asking her,¡± said Kelvin to Kisa. ¡°Yes, she doesn¡¯t want to see you. You shouldn¡¯t stay here any longer, unless you want her to faint again,¡± Sharon added. deliberately Kisa looked at Gilbert and saw that he was staring at his grandmother¡¯s face without saying a word. She pursed her lips and walked out of the room silently. It was already dawn, and Kisa could hear it raining outside. She walked into the yard and looked at the gray sky. Her mind was full of doubt. ¡®What did I do that made grandma hate me that much?¡® Suddenly, just as she was lost in thought, Davian ran out of the house. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 161 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 161 Chapter 161 I was Too Naive It was obvious that Davian had just regained consciousness from being knocked out. He touched the back of his neck, looking dazed. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, what happened? I heard they said that Mrs. Kooper Sr. had woken up.¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°Did you see the person who knocked you out?¡± she asked. The mention of this made Davian angry, ¡°I listened to your instructions and hid in the closet to monitor everything in the room, but there was no movement at all. I had to go to the toilet, so I decided to head out for a bit, but someone hit me in the back of my head with a stick. If I catch whoever did this to me, I¡¯m going to kill them!¡± Kisa was not surprised at Davian¡¯s reply. As she expected, Sharon would never have let him see her when she knocked him out. Davian saw her pained expression, and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Mrs. Kooper, what happenedst night? Did you get answers when you questioned Sharon Case? When I was in there, I asked the others, but they didn¡¯t even give me a nce.¡± Kisa lowered her gaze andughed at herself, ¡°I was too naive and underestimated Sharon.¡± ¡®If Davian hadn¡¯t been knocked out, he could have witnessed Sharon hurting grandma. But¡­¡® She took a deep breath and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. We¡¯ll talk about it when grandma wakes up.¡± The more she thought about it, the more scared and lost she felt. ¡®I can¡¯t figure out why grandma hates me.¡¯ Suddenly, Davian voiced out again, ¡°Mrs. Kooper, remember how you asked me to check the whereabouts of Sharon Case the night Mrs. Kooper Sr. was injured?¡± ¡°Have you found it?¡± ¡°One of the boys called me and said Sharon Case apanied her mother, Carolyn Marshall, to the beauty salon that night. The people at the salon confirmed this and even dug out a receipt from five years ago. The mother and daughter were in the beauty salon from the evening till the early morning.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± Kisa clenched her fists as she felt more and more ufortable. ¡®The perpetrator back then was clearly Sharon. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have taken such a risk to kill Mrs. Kooper Sr. in the middle of the night. The people at the beauty salon must be lying. Sharon might have also left in the middle of the session, and the beauty salon didn¡¯t notice. But there¡¯s no evidence of this.¡® ¡®I can only hope that grandma was not in her right mind and mistook me as the perpetrator.¡® Mrs. Kooper Sr. woke up again in the afternoon. The servants made her some food and brought it into her room. Kisa had been waiting anxiously outside the door. She did not dare to go in without Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s permission, because she did not want to upset her again. After she had paced back and forth outside the door for a long time, Davian finally opened the door and said, ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr. wants you toe in.¡± Coas Teo Nave Kisa was overjoyed at the sound of that. She ignored theplex look Davian had in his eyes and walked into the room. But the kind and caring grandmother she remembered was long gone. The Mrs. Kooper Sr. in front of her today looked at her in disgust. It made her feel lost and confused as her heart sank. Instead of rushing toward Mrs. Kooper Sr. in excitement like she did before, she stood there restlessly and voiced out, ¡°Grandma.¡± ¡°Shut up. You have no right to call me that.¡± ¡®She¡¯s clearly conscious right now, but she still hates me.¡® Kisa did not know what had gone wrong. ¡°Grandma, what¡¯s the matter with you? I¡¯m Kisa.

I can¡¯t believe that you are still trying to deny it. It was my fault that I saw something good in you and gave you the chance to hurt my grandson,¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. said as she burst into tears of regret. Kisa felt her body freeze up. She shook her head hastily and said, ¡°Grandma, what is happening? You were the one who called me that night and told me that you had something important to ask me. When I arrived, you were already lying on the floor, covered in blood. I did not push you. You know that it wasn¡¯t me. Why are you saying that it¡¯s me?¡± Kisa did not know what to do. Even the grandmother who had loved her the most was actually ming her. Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s face grew colder and colder, ¡°Nonsense. I didn¡¯t call you that night. It¡¯s clear that you held a grudge against my grandson for not loving you, so you took it out on me. Thankfully, I¡¯m tougher than I look.¡± ¡°N¨CNo, it¡¯s not like that¡­¡± Sharon took this as an opportunity to say, ¡°Sister, I can¡¯t believe it was you who hurt grandma back then. How could you do such a thing?¡± Her heart filled with joy, ¡®I thought she¡¯d say it was me who pushed her when she woke up, but who knew she¡¯d say it was Kisa instead.¡® Sharon recalled when she pushed the old woman down the stairs, ¡®She was unconscious the whole way down, but when she wasying on the ground, she looked up and nced at me before she fainted. Maybe she didn¡¯t really get a good look.¡® Sharon was ecstatic at the thought of that. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± Sharon pretended to plead, ¡°Although Kisa was the one who hurt grandma, I¡¯m sure she didn¡¯t mean to. Plus, she had received her punishment. Grandma is also awake now. So why don¡¯t we just forget about it?¡± Her fake ¡°good person¡± persona made Kisa seem even more vicious. The more she spoke, the more it provoked Gilbert. ¡°She almost killed my grandma. Do you think I can forget it just like that?¡± ¡°What are you nning to do to her, Gilbert? Hasn¡¯t she suffered enough these past five years? Do you really want her to die?¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Kisa roared, unable to bear Sharon¡¯s act anymore. ¡°What are you doing, Kisa? I didn¡¯t me you for trying to frame me. Now that I¡¯m trying to help you, you¡¯re scolding me. How could you be so heartless? Is what grandma said true? You¡¯re an ungrateful, heartless person,¡± Sharon said while putting on a pitiful look. Kisa put her hand into a tight fist and looked at everyone around her. No one believes her. Even Kelvin and Davian, who had been doubtful about her before, looked at her coldly. The despair she felt from being hated and misunderstood by everyone made it hard for her to breathe. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . She saw Mrs. Kooper Sr¡¯s eyes filled with hatred when she asked, ¡°Grandma, what happened? red you be So Heartless? Tell me, what happened that night? Why are you lying? Why are you using me? Did I do something wrong that made you unhappy? Just tell me, and I won¡¯t do it ever again. I promise. ¡± ¡°Or do you think that I ruined Gilbert¡¯s chance at happiness? Rest assured, I have signed the divorce papers, and will no longer be pestering him anymore. ¡°I¡¯m leaving soon.

And Gilbert only felt a twitch in his heart. But the thought of his grandmother being in aa for five years and almost could never wake up again, the hatred in his heart started to boil again. Davian was a little moved by those words. He turned to Gilbert and cautiously said, ¡± Mr. Gilbert, could there be some misunderstanding there? Ma¡¯am looks like¡­¡® ¡°I¡¯m the victim, why would I be lying?¡± Before Davian could even finish speaking, Mrs. Kooper Sr. let out a cold snort. ¡± This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Davian shook his head in fright, ¡°No, no, I did not mean that. I¡­ I¡­¡® ¡°Davian, did my sister buy your loyalty, or do you actually like her?¡± Sharon immediately seized the opportunity to lead the topic away. Davian was speechless as he spat back, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? I just felt that there¡¯s something weird about this.¡± ¡°What¡¯s weird about that? Grandma was the victim and she knew what happened then best. Since Grandma said it was big sis who hurt her, then she must be right. Although I¡¯m too unwilling to believe that my sister could be so cruel, but the truth is what it is. Now we don¡¯t need to try to defend my sister, but plead for her, you get me?¡± Sharon put on an act and made it look like she was in the right. After saying that, she then hypocritically turned toward Mrs. Kooper Sr. and said, ¡°Grandma, although big sis did harm to you, but seeing our past rtionship, please do not punish her too much, okay?¡± ¡°Sharon¡¯s still the kindest, why was I so blind that I let my darling grandson marry a cruel woman like you!¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. pointed at Kisa as she yelled at her. Kisa shook her head. Her heart already devastated. Sharon was overjoyed. This old woman previously hated her and Sara and always treated Kisa like she was her own granddaughter. Oh, how the table had turned. Using Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s praise of her as a crutch, Sharon walked over to the former¡¯s side and held her hand affectionately. ¡°Grandma, just for me, don¡¯t punish my big sis too hard, Just let her kneel in the yard to repent, alright?¡± ¡°This is a good suggestion.¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. then looked coldly at Kisa, ¡°¡°What are you still doing here? Go and kneel in the courtyard! What an eyesore!¡± It was just a drizzle in the afternoon, but by evening, it was a massive downpour. Kisa, kneeling in the courtyard, was instantly soaked.

He demurred for a moment before softly said, ¡°She had been waiting for you to wake up all this time, a nd she was happier than anyone else when you did. Could she really be the person who pushed you?¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. was taken aback for a moment. But soon, hatred soon appeared on her face again, ¡°She was just pretending.

I can only imagine what sort of poison she had fed you for the past five years.¡± ¡°She was dead for the past five years. Mrs. Kooper Sr. was stunned, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Gilbert shook his head and said sorrowfully, ¡°Grandma, you should be able to tell how she had suffered for the past five years, so much so that she¡¯s almost no longer human.¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. tugged her nket, saying, ¡°So what, she brought all of it on herself.¡± As she said that, she looked disappointedly at Gilbert. ¡± What are you trying to say here? Have you seri ously fallen for her?¡± Gilbert did not answer. But Mrs. Kooper Sr. got anxious instead. ¡°You cannot fall for her!¡± ¡°Why not?¡± This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Gilbert did not understand. Grandma had previously spared no effort to match him and Kisa together, and even used Sara¡¯s life to force him to marry Kisa, so why does she now not allow him to fall for her? I ¡®Was it truly just because Kisa pushed her down the stairs? But he did not think that was the only reason. ¡°You don¡¯t have to know why, just know that you cannot fall for her, or you¡¯ll live to regret it.¡± Gilbert shook his head as he was totally puzzled, ¡± Grandma, what are you hiding from me?¡± ¡°Enough, stop doubting Grandma. The reason I don¡¯t want you to fall for her because I¡¯ve finally learned what a vicious woman she is. She is not a good pers on and I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll do harm to you. Gilbert did not buy her exnation and as he turned to look at the petite figure in the rain, his felt very distressed. He had always hated this woman. He hated her viciousness, he hated her entrapping him, he hated her deceiving him. It was because of all sorts of prejudices that he believed she was the one who hurt Grandma. But when Grandma woke up and used her, he panicked and wanted to find ways to defend her. Even he found it difficult to exin this contradictory thoughts in his mind. Looking at his dejected look, Mrs. Kooper Sr. was both angry and anxious. ¡°That woman said she had already signed the divorce papers with you, are the two of you really divorce d?¡± Gilbert did not answer. And Mrs. Kooper Sr. knew his silence best. She pointed at him and admonished him, ¡°Just look at you. It looks to me than you¡¯re unwilling to let go ¡°Kisa!¡± As the body suddenly copsed in the rain, Gilbert could no longer hold back anymore as he rushed out room.

Carolyn gleefully said, ¡°I actually went to look for that old hag first, and I even told her a little secret.

For a moment, Gilbert had the urge to hug her tight in his arms. However, his rationality quickly won over his impulse.

Seeing that her beloved grandson was more and more enamored by that woman, Mrs. Kooper Sr. only felt pain and anxiety in her heart.

She raised her voice, yelling, ¡°I do not want her to repay her sins, I want her out of the Kooper residence, and never to appear before us ever again!¡± It was already benevolent of her that she did not want this woman dead.

She did not provide any exnation, nor did she begged for anything, she only quietly got out of the bed. As her body was weak, she almost fell onto the ground twice.

Otherwise ¨C Aaaaaah!¡± Before Sharon could finish her sentence, a wooden stick hit her hard on the back. She screamed and f ell into a puddle on the ground. Kisa snapped back and was ready to run. Just as she spun around, she felt a dull pain shot through the back of her shoulder. She grunted, eyes rolling back, and she passed out at once. The spring rain went on and on, and worries flooded his mind. Gilbert was standing in front of the windo w looking out at the rain, his upright back exuding an indescribable loneliness and sadness. Davian sorted his hair, which was blown out of shape by the wind and rain, before he came in. ¡°Mr. Koo per.¡± ¡°Is there any news of her whereabouts?¡± ¡°I have sent men to look everywhere, but they haven¡¯t found Mrs. Kooper.¡± Gilbert was silent.

A wave of guilt and sorrow washed over him as he felt like he was go ing to copse. It was hard for Gilbert to ept the truth. In his eyes, that woman was strong and had a will of iron. With that kind of will, he could not belie ve that she would die so easily. This belief made her attempts to look weak and fragile in front of him feel sickening. He was disgusted when she told him that she was about to die. He even felt revolted to the point of rejecting all messages informing him that she was about to die. Kelvin added as if his pain was not enough,¡± She knew you wouldn¡¯t believe her, so she begged me not to tell you about her sickness.

He even purposedly caressed his swollen jaw. Gilbert said in a low voice, ¡°If you cure her, I¡¯ll let you beat me up anytime.¡± ¡°That is, if you can find her in time, ¡°Kelvin replied coldly. He said in a severe tone, ¡°Her condition is distressing. We don¡¯t have much time at all based on that. W e need to start our search immediately. Gilbert¡¯s eyes dimmed as he remembered all the timest she had been in pain from her sickness. His heart sunk even further. Regardless, he was determined to find her as soon as possible.

Davian got even more shocked, ¡°Y¨CYou wouldn¡¯t assume that Jensen founded J & K Film Group?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very likely,¡± Gilbert answered.

Gilbert relieved yet frustrated at the same tim e. Since childhood, Kisa had liked to hang out with Jensen. She would tell Jensen anything and everything. When she was with Jensen, she would smile so happily. Gilbert co uld not help but wonder, ¡®if Jensen hadn¡¯t left the country, would Kisa have set him up like this?¡® Even a blind man could have seen that she had liked Jensen a lot during her childhood.

Sometimes, Kisa would wonder who his mother was and how he had got such b eautiful features. ¡°Are you staring at me because you don¡¯t know me, or you¡¯re being mesmerized by me?¡± Kisa smiled and said, ¡°You still love to joke as you used to. ¡± Her face was as white as a sheet.

Jensen did not answer but simply turned his back and walked back into the house. The decor for the vi was simple yet surprisingly fresh and elegant. The house was filled with tiny yet graceful daisies. However, for an unknown reason, the daisies seemed full of mockery toward him. A maid made chamomile tea for him. Gilbert gave a faint smile and said,¡± I remember¡­ You didn¡¯t use to like daisies.¡± ¡°It¡¯s because someone else likes them, so I grew to slowly like them as well,¡± he replied simply, but wha t Gilbert heard had a deeper meaning.

Of course, he did humiliate her. Why would she even want to see him? Besides that, he wasn¡¯t even th e person that she really liked. Now that she was in the arms of her beloved, she would rather stay away from him. But Gilbert wasn¡¯t willing to give up. Since the day she set him up and made his life a mess, she no lon ger deserved the right to quit. He took a deep breath and said to Jensen, ¡°She is my wife.

Gilbert stared at her as her pale face filled up with hatred. A chill ran up his spine from his feet until he felt cold all over his body. Gilbert could clearly see that something import ant was slowly slipping away from him. He tried his hardest to grasp it, but it was all in vain. He didn¡¯t know what to do and could only blurt out heartless statements to cover up the amplified terror in his heart, ¡°Y ou can¡¯t die. You¡¯ve hurt so many people and messed up their lives.

Gilbert¡¯s eyes shook, and fear from his heart started t o take over all his senses. Yet he could not get rid of this fear. He could only recoil back step by step as he slowly walked out the door. Kisa wailed loudly in Jensen¡¯s arms. Gilbert had never seen her be dependent nor show her weak side to another man. His jealousy was starting to drive him crazy. He wanted so badly to pull her away from Jensen¡¯s arms, but he couldn¡¯t. Despite him feeling crazily jealous and unwilling, it was vital that she stayed alive. Gilbert did not know how he walked out of the vi. Looking at the brilliant daisies, a feeling of sadness and self¨C mockery started to build up in him. He felt that he would never be better than Jensen. Jensen would ntrge patches of daisies just for her and like the things she liked, but he didn¡¯t. All Gilbert gave her was always just suffering. Despite that, she was the one who provoked him. In his eyes, that meant she would never get to leave his side for the rest of her life. He silently clenched his fists as overwhelming determination glinted in his eyes. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s okay. Gilbert left. He had already left,¡± Jensen saidfortingly.

Carolyn quickly grabbed him and said, ¡°You can¡¯t leave. You must treat Sharon¡¯s face today no matter what!¡± Kelvin had always hated people who were full of themselves. He snorted, ¡°What can you do to me if I refuse to treat her? Let me get this straight. I¡¯m only here because of Gilbert. If it weren¡¯t for him, I woul dn¡¯t be here.¡± ¡°Why you-¡± ¡°Kelvin¡­¡± Just as Carolyn was about to lose her temper, Sharon came out running.

She¡¯ll alw ays be my woman.¡± Kelvin was shocked. ¡°Didn¡¯t you sign the divorce papers?¡± Gilbert remained silent, he fixed his eyes on Kisa, then he turned around and left. She has no desire to see him, so he will not appear in front of her. Kelvin sighed staring at his backside and walked into the c ourtyard. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .

He no longer had his usual cheerful nature, and his word solemn. ¡°Until now I didn¡¯t have confidence that I could handle Kisa¡¯s condition. But if her condition continues, even I am powerless to cure you. Jensen looked at Kisa worriedly. Kisa was just dazing at the field of daisies, no one could figure her out. Just as Kelvin was urged to che ck her body, she stared at him. ¡°Did Gilbert call you here to treat me?¡± Kelvin instinctively nodded his head. ¡°He told me to heal you at all costs. Gilbert-¡± ¡°Aha. He really refused to let me die either.¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s not it. He¡ª¡± ¡°You should go back. Go back and tell him that this is my life.

It may be more effective.¡± ¡°Let Gilbert persuade her?¡± Kelvin thought that this idea was absurd. ¡®Gilbert was born with a sharp tongue. He is no rhetorician. H e might even make things worse with Kisa.¡¯ Back in her room, Kisa was panting while leaning against the door. It was just a short distance but she was already strained from walking. She lifted her head hel plessly; her seemingly peaceful eyes were filled with tears. ¡®I do want to live my life, but he had been slowly burning out all my desires to live.

The woman Jensen is seeing lives here.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 189 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 189 Chapter 189 Die for the truth Kisa frowned looking in the direction exactly when Sharon was supporting Madalyn at the door. The sc ars on Sharon¡¯s face had formed scabs. She was wearing a mask but the scars could still be seen. It was rather terrifying to look at, as it was like a centipede on her face. Madalyn was looking a lot better than before. But the affection toward Kisa on her face could never be found again. Kisa has mixed feelings facing Madalyn again, she was even ill at ease in her presence. Kisa could be mean to Sharon, but she could never say anything harsh to Madalyn. Besides her mother, this was the only person who was nice to her. Kisa stood up and greeted Madalyn. ¡°What brings you here grandma? Have you had your breakfast?¡± The unfamiliar and formal tone was in sharp contrast to the fondness long ago. Kisa felt heartbroken upon the change. ¡°Hmph. Keep quiet, you have no right to call me grandma, Madalyn had the same old hatred toward Kisa. Kisa subconsciously clutched the table corner.

She had guesses o f her own that maybe there¡¯s more to this than meets the eye about Jensen going abroad in the first ce. Madalyn red at her loathsomely. ¡°You have no business in this matter.¡± Kisa pursed her lips, clearly feeling the difference between Madalyn¡¯s adoration and hatred. Back in the day when she was Madalyn¡¯s favorite, Madalyn would agree to her every decision. Fast forward to the present where she became the person Madalyn loathes the most, Madalyn would c ontradict everything she says. ¡°Hmph. Just because you¡¯re fawning at Jensen, doesn¡¯t mean that he¡¯s your backer now. Remember th e time when you badly injured grandma, this is something that you must never forget.¡± Bearing in mind that Jensen is not around, Sharon.could not hold back her excitement. ¡°Jensen is just baffled by you. If he knew what you did five years ago, he wouldn¡¯t have protected you.¡± ¡°Oh really?¡± Kisa sneered. ¡°But in fact, he knows what I did five years ago. And here he is, still siding wit know, Gilbert might fall victim to her one day.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Madalyn pounded the table angrily and walked toward Kisa. ¡°You can stop daydreaming.

Meanwhile, Madalyn stood unmoved with her cane. She looked at Kisa with a hateful expression and bellowed, ¡°Since you want to know so badly, I¡¯ll let you know! It¡¯s because you¡¯re Emilia Becker¡¯s daugh ter! Your mother was a shameless tramp!¡± ¡°No! My mother wasn¡¯t like that!¡± Kisa retorted loudly. Kisa was ovee with emotions and started trembling uncontrobly. She continued, ¡°My mother was the best person in the world. You said so yourself! You said my mother was a good person and that you liked me because I looked like her. You¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s because I misjudged her!

I regret being so blind and forcing Gilbert to marry you. Now, I¡¯ve lost my beloved gr andson. I regret it¡­ I regret it so much¡­¡± Madalyn cried in anguish before shoving Kisa aside. Due to her frail frame, Kisa stumbled a few steps back. Sheboriously gripped the table for support and shouted at Madalyn through tears, ¡°My mother isn¡¯t like that; you can¡¯t talk about her like that. It must¡¯ve been Carolyn! Carolyn must¡¯ve said something to you, didn¡¯t she?¡± ¡®My mother, Emilia Becker, was the most popr actress. under GK Pictures at one point. She also wa s Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s favorite student. What Mrs. Kooper Sr. liked the most about my mother was how sh e was self¨C content and never chased after fame or fortune. She even had the intention of matchmaking my mother with her eldest son, thought Kisa. ¡®However, at the peak of my mother¡¯s career, it was revealed that she had slept with Christopher Case. Due to the media¡¯s scrutiny, my mother had no choice but to marry him in the end. Mrs. Kooper Sr. would always feel sympathy for my mother whenever she brought up these events, always saying how she w ould¡¯ve reached greater heights if she hadn¡¯t married early. She also said that my mother would¡¯ve bee n happier if she were with her eldest son. Mrs. Kooper Sr. had always felt sorry and sympathized with my mother. The first time we met, she liked me a lot and treated me like her own gran ddaughter because of my mother. But now, Mrs. Kooper Sr. is talking about my mother as if she were the most terrible person ever. Nobo dy can convince me that this isn¡¯t Carolyn¡¯s doing. Since Sharon said that Carolyn had told Mrs. Koope r Sr. a secret, that secret must be a false usation against my mother,¡® she thought again. Sharon snorted, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare use my mother.

She turned to Sharon, ¡°Go check if she¡¯s still breathing.¡± ¡°Me?¡± ¡°If not you, do you expect me to do so?¡± Sharon did not dare to talk back, ¡°Oh¡­ Alright¡­.

I don¡¯t care if that woman dies, but what if Gilbert mes me for her death?¡± She began wailing desperately. Madalyn scoffed, ¡°Get the wrong idea? Weren¡¯t you the one who asked me toe here?

Gracie quickly grabbed him and held him up. Kelvin said worriedly, ¡°Take him outside. Otherwise, he¡¯ll interfere with me treating the patient.¡± ¡°Mhm,¡± Gracie nodded and dragged Gilbert out. Gilbert stared fixedly at the unmoving woman on the bed. His eyes gradually turned bloodshot. ¡®As long as you live, I¡¯ll do anything,¡® he thought. Gilbert leaned against the wall. He smoked one cigarette after another. Gracie could not help butfort him, ¡°Don¡¯t be too worried. Kelvin¡¯s always been very cautious with his words. When he says there¡¯s a 10 percent chance, it¡¯s definitely more than 10 percent.¡± Gilbert did not respond and continued to smoke silently. He stood in the clouds of cigarette smoke with an expression so tense that made him unapproachable. Gracie pursed her lips. She stayed beside him quietly and did not continue speaking.

Kisa stared at the delicious food, but she did not pick up her spoon to eat. ¡°I¨CI can¡¯t eat all these.¡± ¡°That was before. Now, you can eat as much as you like.¡± Jensen smiled and caressed her head, ¡°Did you forget? You¡¯ve recovered already.¡± ¡®Recovered?¡® Although she did feel a lot better, it felt unreal that she had recovered entirely. Noticing that Kisa was still hesitating, Jensen added, ¡°Trust me.

Otherwise, how are you going to stay healthy just by e ating vegetables or injecting nutrition?¡± ¡®No one had treated me this gently before.¡± Kisa was very touched. She took a deep breath and held back her tears. She smiled at Jensen, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give it a try. This is also my first time trying your cooking.¡± She was not sure if it had been a while since she had such vorful food, but she enjoyed the dishes th oroughly. ¡°When did you learn how to cook?¡± Jensen did not eat yet. He was leaning on the chair and smiled back. ¡°I picked it up when I was here.¡± ¡®I¡¯m a stranger to thisnd and I don¡¯t know anyone here. Of course, I¡¯d have to be independent and lea rn everything on my own. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to survive.¡± Jensen looked down and held back his tears. When he looked up, his handsome face was still looking good. ¡°Eat slowly. If you like them, I¡¯ll make them for you every day.¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s best for me to learn from you.¡± Everything made Kisa feel like they were back to how they were when they were young. She felt warm and rxed. However, for Jensen, he did not look at Kisa the same way. He stared at her for a long while. When she was about to finish her meal, he took out at document. The servant came just at the right time to clean up the table. Then, Jensen ced the document in front of Kisa and said, ¡°Tak e a look. If you have no questions about it, you can sign here.¡± ¡°A stock transfer form?¡± Kisa looked at him in shock Jensenughed, ¡°Give it a read first.¡± Kisa tried to calm down and read the document word by word patiently.

She used to think that she would not live a long life. So, she just wanted to live quietly until the day she dies. Deep down, she bore a lot of hatred toward those people, but she had no power to take her revenge. Now that she was granted another chance to live, she was determined to make those people pay for mi streating and humiliating her. Furthermore, Gilbert and Madalyn would not let go of her easily now that she was still alive. Perhaps she could hide under Jensen¡¯s wings in the meantime, but would she be able to hide forever? The next morning. Kisa was woken up by the harsh sunlight. She suddenly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a pretty face. Ady stood by her bedside. Thatdy was tall and slim. She wore a V¨C neck pencil dress that hugged her body and showed her perfect body. Thatdy had heavy makeup on her face and wavy beach curls lying on her shoulders. She looked coquettish and beautiful. Kisa quickly sat up. ¡°You are?¡± If she could enter this house freely ande into her room without permission, she must be Jensen¡¯s f riend. Thatdy had her arms crossed on her chest. Sheughed, ¡°I heard Jensen brought a girl back home. From the looks of it, you¡¯re nothing special.¡± Thedy¡¯sugh was charming. Kisa felt a little insecure upon seeing it. She looked down and thought, ¡®Who else couldpare to her beauty?¡® ¡°Hi, my name is Mia Fallon.¡± Mia stretched out her hand. Her fingers were clean and slender. Although it was painted bright red, it di d not seem scary at all. Kisa smiled and shook her hand, ¡°I¡¯m Kisa Becker.¡± When Mia heard Kisa¡¯s name, she suddenly recalled something, and her eyes darkened. Mia took a cigarette out and asked, ¡°Do you Kisa shook her head instinctively. mind?¡± Mia smiled as she lit it up. She took a puff and leaned on the shelf, ¡°Jensen would never ever bring a girl home. You¡¯re the first.¡± ¡°I hope you did not misunderstand this situation. Jensen and I are just childhood friends.¡± Although Kisa was not sure what Mia¡¯s rtion to Jensen was, she felt the urge to exin herself. Mia smiled, ¡°I know.¡± Kisa stared at her, ¡°You are¡­ Jensen¡¯s friend?¡± ¡°Friend?¡± Mia exhaled all the smoke andughed. At that moment, Jensen sprinted into the room. He immediately put out the cigarette¡¯s fire and quickly opened the window. When he turned around, he noticed that Mia¡¯s eyes were popping. ¡°Who allowed you to smoke in here? She can¡¯t take any secondhand smoke.¡± This was the very first time Kisa witnessed Jensen¡¯s anger. She wanted to say something. But Kisa got cut off by Mia¡¯s smile, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t know about it.¡± ¡°Is there anything?¡± Jensen nced at her and slowly returned to normal. His eyes were slightly cold. Mia stood up seductively, ¡°I¡¯m just here to tell you that ke misses you. You better make some time an ¡°I got it. Now, get out!¡± Since Kisa has never seen Jensen treat anyone this coldly, she was shocked. Kisa wanted to open her mouth and speak. But in such a depressing environment, she did not. know wh N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Mia smiled as she took the signal and walked out. When she reached the door, she turned back and told Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 205 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 205 Chapter 205 Feel Free to Spend Jensen¡¯s Money N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong now. ke is not our child, he¡¯s the adopted son of Jensen.¡± ¡°Get out!¡± Jensen¡¯s face darkened. Mia shrugged her shoulders. ¡°Alright, I get it. I¡¯ll go now.¡± Kisa was still full of questions after Mia left. However, she remained silent since this was Jensen¡¯s priva cy. Jensen said nothing regarding this matter, as if Mia was never here. After a long silence, Jensen gave Kisa a smile, ¡°Rest well. I¡¯ll bring you back home a monthter.¡± Going back home meant that she was going to face Gilbert again. The thought of that ruthless man still made Kisa¡¯s heart hurt. Jensen then gave Kisa a mirror. Kisa took the mirror dumbfoundedly and saw that he was taking off the bandage on her head through the mirror. As the bandage unfolded, one could see that the ugly burn b efore was reced with a light skin scar. ¡°Your scar is healing well. There¡¯d be no trace of it after a monthter.¡± Kisa caressed the scar, astonished that the scar had faded and her face plump. Her face was not stunn ing, but it was fair and clear. Jensen gently put his hands on Kisa¡¯s shoulder and chuckled, ¡°I¡¯ll make you into ant international superstar more famous than Sharon. We shall see who dares to look down on you then.¡± ¡°Me, an even more well¨C known superstar than Sharon?¡± Kisa could not believe him. ¡°Can I really be one?¡± Jensen let out a guffaw, ¡°You learned performing acts in the past, your mother was at the height of her poprity as a great actress. I believe you have the same talent as well.¡± Kisa silently clutched her hand upon thinking of her mother¡¯s past glory. She cannot let her mom down. For the following days, besides taking care of herself, Kisa was getting herself prepared by familiarizing the script Jensen gave her. This drama was about a strong female protagonist. The female protagonist was well¨Cdeveloped. If she could act out this character well, she might be a hit with the drama. One day, Mia came by while Kisa was reading through the script. Mia had light makeup on and wore an elegant floral skirt. Her hair was behind her ears loosely. She did not look as alluring as that day, but she was the em bodiment of sensibility and beauty. Kisa had never found any woman stunning before, but Mia was an exception. The more she looks at Mi a, the more beauty she finds in her. Mia¡¯s every move was full of charm. ¡°You haven¡¯t been out of the mansion, right?¡± Mia asked. Kisa nodded her head. Jensen was always busy with errands, and she was a stranger in this foreign co untry, so she had not been wandering off all alone. ¡°Come on, I¡¯ll take you out for a spin. Get you some new clothes too,¡± Mia looked at Kisa¡¯s outfit in distaste. ¡°Don¡¯t you ever trust Jensen¡¯s taste in fashion.¡± Lisa could not help butugh. ¡®It seems like everyone has very different tastes in things. I think that Jen sen has a good eye for fashion.¡® They arrived at the shopping mall. Kisa tried out some clothes she picked, while Mia sat on the sofa an d read magazines out of sheer boredom. Kisa tried on a few but nothing, in particr, looked good on h er. ¡°Change it!¡± Mia could no longer endure her displeasure when Kisa was in her seventh outfit. ¡°What horrible taste is few outfits. for Kisa. Looking at the sexy bodycon dress, spaghetti strap dress, and halter, Kisa had an awkward ¡¤ facial expr ¡°You can get used to it from now on,¡± Mia chuckled and gave her the outfits.

Well, thebination was rather attractive. Mia smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s it. When it was time to pay, Kisa subconsciously took out her phone for scan code payment. Mia, however, Kisa was briefly stunned and tittered, ¡®This woman must have a close rtionship with Jensen.¡® ¡®Mr. Koo Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 206 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 206 Chapter 206 It¡¯s Scary, Right? Gilbert stared at the alluring figure for a while, that familiar back made his heart tremble in pain. Just as Gilbert instinctively wanted to follow her, Davian interrupted him with a call. When he looked toward th e figure again, the figure had already walked down the hall. He never saw the girl¡¯s face after all. But the sense of familiarity was lingering in his heart. Davian stared at Gilbert that seemed a bit preupied, and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we notify Mr. ray that we¡¯ll cancel today¡¯s meeting? We could po stpone it to tomorrow. It was such a long flight today, and you haven¡¯t been resting well recently. Your b ody must be¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Gilbert proceeded, ¡°Did you pick Mr. ray¡¯s gift yet?¡± ¡°Yes, sir. All done.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Gilbert looked at the hallway again before leaving. It was the first time Kisa wore a low¨C cut spaghetti strap dress, but the dress looked very high- end with satin, not vulgar at all. The dress wa s mauve making her skin fairer. Only Kisa was not very used to it and kept pulling up her dress. Mia nced at her and snorted, ¡°This dress would be out of shape with a few more pulls. What¡¯s the big deal? It¡¯s just a little exposing.¡± This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Mia¡¯s bluntness made Kisaugh embarrassingly. Just as Mia was full of contemning, she saw somethi ng on Kisa¡¯s back with her eagle eye. ¡°Hey, what is this?¡± Mia curiously pulled down her strap. Kisa tried to dodge, but it was toote. The str ap slightly fell off her shoulders and revealed a back full of burn marks. Mia became too stunned to spe ak. Kisa adjusted her straps awkwardly. ¡°It¡¯s scary, right?¡± These were the burn marks five years ago. The scar on her forehead had slowly faded away, but the b urn area on the back was toorge. It was not easy to remove the scars entirely. The scars were on her back, so it did not matter whether they were removed or not. No one could see them after she wore clo thes. She had always shown her forehead scar in public, but no one knew about the scars on her back. ¡®I rec kon Gilbert didn¡¯t realize the burns on my back when he forced me down,¡® Kisa thought. Mia came to her senses and shook her head. She could not help but think of those days. That year, Jensen rushed back when he heard she was in trouble. When he returned, he only saw a fir e that was unable to be put out. The fire was getting stronger, but no one was willing to rescue the peo ple inside. He secretly went in and recklessly saved a woman. She was unrecognizable by the smoked- covered f ace, burns all over her body, and a cut on the stomach with a dead baby inside. That was the first time Mia saw Jensen break down, and it was for the woman he saved. That was also t woman¡¯s encounter. ¡°Are you alright, Ms. Fallon?¡± Kisa could not resist and wave her hand in front of Mia upon looking at her daze, ¡°Did my scars frighten you?¡± ¡°No, it didn¡¯t,¡± Mia blotted out the painful memories and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back. Or else Jensen would get m As the two walked out of the mall, a luxury car stopped right in front of them.

Kisa bent her head ufortably. ¡°Jensen, do I not look good in this?¡± Mia hid the darkness in her eyes and smiled seductively at Jensen, ¡°How is it? Do you think the clothes I picked for her are much better than yours?¡± ¡°She does not suit these,¡± said Jensen while he draped a white scarf from the car over her shoulder. The color white and mauve was a prettybination. Kisa was sexy before, but there was more then s exy now as a touch of elegance could be seen. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. Under the attention of Mia, Kisa grabbed the scarf and stepped back from Jensen, creating space between them. She did not know the rtionship between the two, but it was better to steer clear of misunderstandings. Jensen did not say anything regarding Kisa¡¯s action of avoiding him. He looked at Mia, ¡°Don¡¯t choose th ese types of outfits for her next time, it doesn¡¯t suit her.¡± Mia scoffed, ¡°It didn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s suitable or not, it¡¯s about being epted or not.¡± Jensen¡¯s face darkened, as he was going to speak, Kisa quickly interrupted, ¡°I really like the dress Mia chose. It¡¯s different from my usual style making me feel fresh wearing it.¡± Only then Jensen dropped the issue. He opened the car door and said, ¡°Get in the car, I¡¯ll take you to s omeone.¡± Kisa asked without a break, ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°The richest investor in the industry, Kohen ray. It would be good publicity for your drama once you get his support in terms of finance, resources, and reputation. The drama would no doubt be a hit at the end.¡± Kisa nodded in understanding. Jensen was serious about making her famous. ¡®I won¡¯t let Jensen and myself down,¡® Kisa. thought. When Kisa got on the car, Mia leaned on the car and smiled insinuatingly at Jensen. ¡°You sure you don ¡¯t want me toe along?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need of it,¡± Jensen drove off with this short reply. Kisa could not see Mia¡¯s facial expression through the back mirror, but a hint of sorrow led out from her petite figure. Kisa was too this miserable when Gilbert treated her coldly. ¡°Jensen¡­¡± Kisa could not help herself and asked Jensen. ¡°Ms. Fallon seems like a great person. Could you not treat her so coldly next time?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you curious about our rtionship?¡± Jensen answered her with a question of his own in a gentle tone after a short while. ¡°You are friends, I guess?¡± Kisa thought they were more like a couple, but they were not as close as a couple would act. ¡°Friends?¡± Jensen had the same secrecy smile Mia had when he replied. ¡®Their rtionship is so weird,¡® Kisa thought without asking further questions. The car soon stopped in front of a fancy restaurant. Kisa followed Jensen quietly into the restaurant. As they walked to the private room, a familiar voice came from the men¡¯s restroom beside the corridor. ¡°Mr. Kooper, Kohen ray really can¡¯t tell chalk from cheese. They should be ttered that GK was will Such a familiar voice. Such a familiar name. Kisa realized that the man was right beside her. She trembled in fear and was afraid she might bump into him in a second. She turned around and ran on instinct. There were calls behind her, but she could not care less and run Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 208 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 208 Chapter 208 There¡¯s Not Much Time Left Kisa ran out of the restaurant and hid behind the bushes. Through the gaps in the bushes, she saw Gilbert catch up with her. His face had anger, hatred, and a hint of resignation. Kisa clutched her hands, her heart filled with pain. ¡®He¡¯ll always hate me no matter where I am, or if I died or not. His hatred was like a never resolving knot.¡® This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. ¡°Mr. Kooper, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Davian rushed out and looked at Gilbert worried. ¡®Ever since we been here, Mr. Kooper seems to have lost his head. Was it something he saw that mad e him this way?¡® ¡°I saw Kisa,¡± Gilbert looked around the surroundings, searching for her. The thought of Kisa avoiding hi m on purpose made him annoyed and resentful. Davian was not convinced. ¡°You must have got the wrong person, why would Mrs. Kooper be here?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m sure of it. This is the only possible ce she¡¯ll be,¡± Gilbert said with certainty. Davian could not understand him. ¡®Why would this ce be the onl y possible ce Mrs. Kooper be?¡® Davian was going to ask a few more questions when Gilbert clenche d his hands and smiled eerily. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, she¡¯s getting revenge on me soon. I¡¯ll just wait. Ha! I¡¯ll j ust wait for her to appear in front of me.¡± Kisa let out a sigh of relief after Gilbert left, she breathed deeply, and leaned on the tree. A leather shoe suddenly came into sight. Kisa slowly lifted her head and saw Jensen¡¯s let¨C down expression. Kisa pursed her lips, and just felt sad. She should not be scared of meeting Gilbert, but she instinctly ran away after she saw the man. She hated t his helpless feeling and hated herself for being so weak. ¡°How are you going to get revenge on him like this?¡± Gilbert asked. Kisa faintly dropped to the ground. ¡°Give me some time. I¡¯m just not ready yet. I could handle him with ease once I¡¯m prepared,¡± Kisa could not figure out if she was convincing Jensen or herself. Jensen sulked, squatted down, and smoothed away a wisp of hair from her face. Jensen¡¯s tone soft as always, ¡°We don¡¯t have much time left. I¡¯m bringing you back by the end of the month. You better work on it quick.¡± Kisa nodded with determination in her eyes. Kohen ray was the biggest investor in the industry. He was also the sessor of Raworth¡¯srgest conglomerate group. He has the power, courage, and ambition; he¡¯s also wild and intractable. At first nce, Kisa felt Kohen was even more treacherous and sinister than Anthony. Kohen gave off a sense of pressure and uneasiness to the people around him virtually. However, Jensen¡¯s aura was no j oke either. Jensen poured three cups of tea. One was pushed in front of Kohen, one was handed to Kisa, and he d rank from thest cup. Jensen¡¯s every gesture was distinguished and elegant. Unlike Kohen¡¯s evil ways, Jensen was a gentleman, he¡¯d make everyone feelfortable. Kohen picked up the cup and sipped the tea.

You¡¯re still as stubborn as you used to be,¡± Kohen chuckled and lit a cigarette. Jensen furrowed his brows and told Kisa, ¡°You should leave first.¡± Kisa was touched upon understanding Jensen¡¯s intention of not letting her breath in smoke, so she got up and left the room. She quietly stood outside by the door, thinking about what would Kohen want. It was obvious that Jens en knew what it was, but it seemed to be something important to him. After a few minutes, Jensen came out of the room with a cold expression. Kisa understood the deal was off and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. We could do well without his sponsor too.¡± ¡®Jensen only wanted Kohen¡¯s connections, resources, and reputation to promote the drama by asking h im to invest. It was to make sure that I could get famous. I would rather not act in this drama, be a supe rstar and even get revenge if this sess was by sacrificing something important to Jensen.¡® Kohen leaned on the door and chuckled, ¡°Gilbert also came to me a while ago. You left me no choice b ut to work with Gilbert since you¡¯re reluctant to give up.

Kisa hurriedly kept pace with Jensen. ¡°Jensen, I would act this character with my heart and soul. I¡¯ll do my best even without his sponsor,¡± Kisa uncontroblyforted Jensen after they left the restaurant. Jensen smiled with his same old gentle smile at Kisa. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I knew he wouldn¡¯t have agreed so easily. I was trying my luck, his answer doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°How did you be acquainted with him?¡± Seeing how Kohen talked to Jensen, they must have known each other in the past. Jensen must have thought of something unpleasant as he narrowed his brows. ¡°You don¡¯t have to answer if you don¡¯t want to,¡± Kisa said hastily. ¡°He¡¯s¡­ He¡¯s a lunatic. It¡¯s fine if he wouldn¡¯t sponsor us. I¡¯ll use all my financial and material resources to make you famous.¡± ¡°Thank you, Jensen.¡± ¡°What is there to thank you for, we¡¯ve been friends forever,¡± Jensen smiled. Until this day, Kisa did not dare to ask Jensen what happened that year, why he went aboard, and what made him break off with Gilbert. Or else, what could have made him help her get revenge on Gilbert? He had always been the protective brother of Gilbert. ¡°Turns out, all moons are round no matter where you are,¡± Gilbert murmured while he stared at the moon in the sky. Davian could not stand Gilbert¡¯s sentimental side. ¡®I wish Mrs. Kooper would show up ahead of time.

It bounced on the ground a few times beforending in the hands of a boy who was around five or six years old. A woman with delicate features ran up to the boy and pulled him away. She was panting as she anxiou sly said, ¡°Be careful. You almost hit someone.¡± The little boy stared at Gilbert.

Standing on the basketball court together, they looked like father and son . Compared to Jensen¡¯s gentlemanliness and elegance, Gilbert¡¯s disposition was cold and icy. He had a stern look on his face even when he was just ying basketball. The motion of the ball created a rhythm on the court. Davian, who was annoyed at first, opened his mouth in shock when he saw how the little boy stole the ball, dribbled, and shot it through the hoop. ¡°I told you he was good,¡± Mia said while ncing at him sideways. Gilbert was surprised by the little boy¡¯s quick movements. However, no matter how good he was, he was still a little boy, and he lost a few rounds to Gilbert. The boy was not happy with the oue.

Why don¡¯t you let me go to talk to her?¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± Davian had no words. ¡®Mr. Kooper wouldn¡¯t tell Mrs. Kooper that they haven¡¯t divorced yet.

She was calm and always had a gen tle and graceful smile on her face, which made her look more of intellectual beauty. After a dy of over two hours at the airport, Shaun only picked them up. Kisa didn¡¯t enjoy staying in a vi because it was empty and felt lonely, so Jensen bought her an apartment, which was small but coz y. When she got back to the apartment, Kisa sat down on the couch, tired. Jensen poured her a ss of water. ¡°You can rest for a few days, then the crew will hold a ceremony at the hotel. After that, you can shoot your scene normally.¡± ¡°Mm.¡± Kisa nodded her head and suddenly looked at him seriously. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t need to be my manager and assistant; it is too much of a waste of your time.¡± Jensen smiled and shook his head. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t feel at ease if it were someone else.¡± ¡®He would not feelfortable if it were someone else.

But when she thought of the hatred she felt for Gilbert, this nervousness disappeared.

But her heart skipped a beat when she saw Jensen¡¯ s serious expression. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m just kidding. Look how scared you are.¡± Jensen patted her head amusedly. Kisa subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°I knew it. When we were little, you only said you treated me as a sister.¡± ¡®That was because Gilbert liked you back then.¡® Jensen hid his thoughts deep in his heart. He said absently, ¡° Helping you is actually helping me. You hate Gilbert, and I hate the Kooper family.¡± Kisa was startled again. ¡°Y¨CYou hate the Kooper family? ¡°There are a lot of things. I will tell youter.¡± Jensen always smiled gently in front of her, but his eyes fl ashed with a deep and intense hatred when he mentioned hating the Kooper family. Perhaps, he really did not just leave the country back then simply to ¡®go abroad for further study¡®. Since Jensen was not willing to say, she did not ask more. After all, those are his privacy, and she had never been one to pry into other people¡¯s privacy. BANG! BANG!

What¡¯s so great about that b*tch? Sharon¡¯s face contorted with intense jealousy and hatred. With those scars, it looked even more horrible. None of the maids dared to go in and stop her. It was Carolyn who rushed in, hugged her, and said. ¡°Sharon, what are you doing? When your face is healed, you can still trample her underfoot.

Carolyn, however, said unhurriedly, ¡°Since all those people are trying to tter her, you should ruin her.¡± Sharon was stunned and asked, ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Those people want her to be the brightest star at the party, so you are to knock that star down.

He was about to find out what happened to Kisa¡¯s mother a nd all the other people in their generation, and the appearance of Sharon was a real bad timing. ¡°What is it about you looking for me?¡± In the courtyard, Kelvin dug his hands in his pants. pockets, and his tone of voice could not be more careless. Sharon suddenly burst into tears. ¡°Please help me.¡± In the past, Sharon was still lovable when she cried in the past. But now, Kelvin only felt disgusted with her. He tried to be patient when he asked, ¡°What is wrong with you?¡± ¡°You have read the newspaper, haven¡¯t you? Yesterday, Kisa took advantage of my disfigurement at the airport to humiliate me, and even more so to make me lose face in front of the media.¡± Kelvin shot her a sideways nce. ¡°So?¡± Seeing Kelvin¡¯s indifferent look, she was even more hateful and jealous. ¡®In the past, when we were young, they always defended me and med that b*tch.

Just then, Madalyn suddenly called out to him.

She leaned against the window, looking at the lights outside, and a lonelin ess and confusion that she had never felt flushed through her. Ever since she survived that fire, her onl y goal was to survive. Now that she had recovered, her goal was to take revenge on all those who had humiliated and hurt her. But when she was done taking revenge, she lost direction. She brought a ss of wine and leaned against the window. She took a sip, but all that came to her mind was the image of the man she had been with. ¡°Gilbert, I don¡¯t know how to solve this calculus. Can you teach me?¡± ¡°How stupid.

That was because the Gilbert ofst time would n ever exist again. ¡°Kisa!¡± Early that morning, his angry roar resounded throughout the vi. His dislike for her was undisg uised, and he refused to listen to her exnations, as if he wanted to tear her apart. He threw her out of the vi wrapped in sheets, despite her bruises, herck of clothes, her r eputation, and her dignity. From that moment on, she and Gilbert could no longer be together again. La ter, everything went wrong, and she ended up hurt both mentally and physically. She tilted her head back and gulped a full ss of red wine, but instantly got choked up and coughed violently.

The next day, Kisa was awakened by a loud doorbell. She woke up with a terrible hangover. The doorbell did not stop ringing. She frowned, got out o and staggered to the door. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 225 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 225 Chapter 225 Pretending to Please She pulled the door open and saw Carolyn and Sharon outside.

Your father and I were worried when we heard yo u were critically ill.¡± When Kisa thought of Carolyn¡¯s previous spitefulness and the humiliation she suffered, all these words sounded so fake to her ears. But she did not expose her. Instead, she yed along. ¡°Is that so? Then I really have to thank Auntie Carolyn for your concern. I will treat you to dinner someday.¡± ¡°It is alright. Sharon and I came here today to see you and to bring you your mother¡¯s belongings.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she heard the second half of the sentence, but she calmly said, ¡°In that case, pleasee in and have a seat.

She was now convinced that this Carolyn mentioned in the books was Carolyn Marshall. Her moth er regarded Carolyn as a best friend, so she did not expect Carolyn to hurt her like this, and even after such a thing happened, she did not suspect Carolyn. She had suffered so much because of Carolyn an d Sharon, so she could tell at once that everything was a setup by Carolyn. Her poor mother knew nothing at that tim e, and under the pressure of the media, she could only marry a man she did not love. After reading both books, the record of events ended. Even without seeing the sequel, she could still gu ess that her mother had a tough life afterward. She did not know exactly what happened to her mother after she married into the Case family, only that her mother found. out she was pregnant right after she left the Case family, and she was born in a cramped rental house. For as long as she could remember, she had often seen her mother staring out the window with a sad l ook on her face. She was named Kisa, meaning rain in Bosnian, because she hated. the rain, and whe n it rained, her mother always looked out the window and cried. She asked. her mother why she was crying, but her mother never answered. Th e worst thing was the rainstorm. When there was a rainstorm, her mother, who was always gentle, went crazy, kneeling in the rain and crying. She tried to pull her mother up several times, but she pushed he r away, asking her why she existed in this world. But after the rainstorm, her mother hugged her again and kept saying she was sorry. So, as a child, Kisa also hated the rain. As far as Kisa could remember, her mother spent seven years in depression, sometimes going crazy. W It turned out now that David was the only person her mother missed when she was dying. Looking back Kisa¡¯s eyes turned icy, and she felt horribly aggrieved and angry. She would help her mother take revenge. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 230 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 230 Chapter 230 His Beloved KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! After knocking on the door thrice, Kisa waited quietly in front of the door with her head down. Soon after, the door opened. Jensen was dressed in casual clothes. Nevertheless, his rxed and casual attire did not conceal his air of nobility. He had a cigarette between his fingers. However, he put it out the moment he saw Kisa. ¡°What¡¯s up, Kisa?¡± Jensen asked as he turned around to open the windows. Jensen¡¯s thoughtfulness and consideration made Kisa feel a mixture of emotions. She had always thought Jensen did not smoke. However, it turned out that he only refrained from smok ing in front of her because he was concerned about her health. Suddenly, she thought of how her mother and Jensen¡¯s father¡¯s rtionship was filled with regrets and sorrow. She felt a lump in her throat. Then, she inhaled deeply and smiled at Jensen, ¡°It¡¯s alright, Jensen. I¡¯m much better now. A little cigare tte smoke is fine.¡± ¡°Better safe than sorry.¡± Jensen poured Kisa a ss of water.

Suddenly, Jensen forcefully sat her on the couch and said, ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Kisa stared at Jensen¡¯s frantic figure and felt her heart race. ¡®Why did I find Jensen a little terrifying earlier on? As far as I can remember, Jensen has always been a gentleman. Even when he suspected me of having a hidden agenda for getting close to Gilbert, he spo ke in the gentlest tone. I¡¯ve never seen Jensen act this way; what in the world happened? Did he go through something terrible while he was abroad for the past few years, causing him to change his temperament ? Or did I never truly understand this man?¡® wondered Kisa. The wounds on Kisa¡¯s palms and arms gushed with blood. She continued staring at Jensen as if she did not feel any pain.

Then, he removed the ss shards embedded in her hands with the tweezers.

He poured two sses of red wine and passed a ss to Kisa. ¡°Kohen will be here in about ten days¡® time. After his banquet, your poprity and connections will expa nd a lot. At that point, you can begin the production for your drama series.¡± Kisa nodded, ¡°This is a sess all thanks to you.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for such formalities when you¡¯re with me.¡± Jensen smiled but in his eyes were signs of self¨Cpity. No matter where or when, she would talk to him formally. It made them seem distant. Jensen took a sip of the red wine and looked at Kisa. ¡°How was your visit to the Case family? Did they give you a tough time?¡± ¡°No, they were trying to get on my good side.¡± ¡°That¡¯s weird.¡± ¡°Yeah, it is. So, I¡¯m guessing they might be trying to gain my trust. And when I¡¯m not cautious with them , they¡¯ll make their move.¡± ¡°So, you¡¯re not sure of their n yet? That means they can hurt you anytime.¡± Kisa ate her food quietly. She did not seem worried at all. Jensen leaned back and smiled. ¡°Do you already have a n?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been fooled by them a few times. Of course, I won¡¯t fall into their trap easily again.¡± As Kisa was speaking, she took out a small device from her bag. The device was only the size of a coin. On top of it was a power button. She pressed it and switched it on. Suddenly, a rustle sounded which was followed by a conversation. ¡°Look at you. It¡¯s just a piece of art and a ne, but both of you have fallen for her already.

What if she doesn¡¯t wear it?¡± ¡°I know her well. As long as she got her hands on a pair of jewelry that she loves, she would wear it for a very long time. Most importantly, their n is to humiliate me at Kohen¡¯s banquet. They¡¯ll definitely make a move within the next ten days. ¡°I don¡¯t need her to wear it for long. Ten days would be more than enough.¡± She doesn¡¯t have to be the old Kisa anymore, letting Carolyn and Sharon bully her anyhow they want t o. After Kisa had finished her meal at Jensen¡¯s ce, she went back to her ce. She held the tapping device and listened in until 12.00 a.m. There wasn¡¯t any information toward the en d. All she heard was the sound of snoring. That must have meant that Carolyn and Christopher had fallen asleep. As for Kisa, she was not sleepy at all. She poured a ss of water and sat by the window in deep thought. She froze as soon as she absent¨Cmindedly gazed downstairs. She stood up quickly and looked closely through the window. useful A van was parked downstairs and a familiar figure was leaning against the car while smoking. ¡®Isn¡¯t that Gilbert?¡® C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡®Why is he here?¡® ¡®Did he find out that Jensen and I are staying here?¡± ¡®With his resources and power, it¡¯s an easy thing for him to find out.¡± ¡®Why is he standing there alone, smoking?¡± ¡®Is he trying to warn her about something?¡± Kisa stared at Gilbert deeply and she clenched her fists. Gilbert puffed out some smoke while staring at his phone quietly. On the screen was his and Kisa¡¯s inb ox. He was constantly amending the text message and will always stop at the ¡®send¡® icon after that. He cou ld not send out that text message. After hesitating for quite a while, he deleted the message once again and went to his contact list to sear ch for Kisa¡¯s number. He stared at her number for a long while but never pressed the ¡®call¡® icon. In the end, he turned around and hit the car hood out of frustration. The reports which Davian showed him lingered in his mind. ¡°Mr. Kooper, they¡¯re staying at an estate on the south side of the city.¡± ¡°Are they staying together?¡± ¡°I¨CI guess so. The floor and block number matched.¡± ¡®Wow, they¡¯re already living under the same roof.¡® Gilbert¡¯s knuckles were cracking from his tight grip. His face was full of rage. Jensen leaned by the window and stared at Gilbert¡¯s figure for a long time. His deep¨C set eyes contained an inexplicable confusion. After quite some time, Jensen lifted his ss and gulped down the remaining red wine. The corner of his lips raised into a wicked smile. ¡®This time around anymore.¡® ¡°Kisa, what do you think of my cooking? Is it nice?¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s delicious. I¡¯ve already had seconds.¡± For three days in a row, Carolyn invited Kisa over for a meal and she always weed her with enthusi Kisa knew that they were about to make a move soon. Carolyn served her a few pieces of meat and said in a polite tone, ¡°Kisa, the weather has been great the ¡°Vacation?¡± Kisa pretended to be surprised and said, ¡°Just the two of us?¡± ¡°Your dad and Sharon will be going too.¡± ¡°Is dad free tomorrow?

It¡¯s so rare for Kisa to make time for us. Can¡¯t you take the day off and spend time with her? What kind of a father are you?¡± Carolyn immediately told Christopher off. Christopher only pulled a long face. He then remained silent. Kisa quickly responded, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Dad is busy with work. I understand. So, tomorrow it¡¯s just you, me, a nd Sharon together?¡± ¡°And Kelvin,¡± added Sharon as she sipped on her drink. Deep down, Kisa was startled when she heard the word ¡®Kelvin¡®.

What more to say when grandpa and Carolyn are rted.¡® Initially, Kisa could not understand. With Kelvin¡¯s personality, why would he allow Sharon to manipte him? She now knew the main reason. It was Carolyn who used grandpa¡¯s name to pressure him. After Kisa went home, she did not let her guard down. Every second, she was holding onto the taping d evice and listened to it, in fear of missing any important updates. If the mother¨C daughter duo seed with their ns, Kisa would not be the only victim. Kelvin would be involved too. Whenever Kisa thought of Gracie¡¯s gentle and sweet face, she would squint her eyes. Gracie and Kelvin¡¯s happy life was something which Kisa had always admired and longed for. No matte r what, she would not allow Carolyn and Sharon ruin it. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. During dinner time, Kisa ced the tapping device on her table. She listened in while eating. ¡®Since they¡¯re going to take action starting tomorrow, I¡¯m sure they¡¯ll discuss the details and run through the n once today.¡® Jensen noticed that Kisa was extremely focused as she had not touched her food at all. He could not h elp but said, ¡°Have some food. I¡¯m listening attentively too.¡± Kisa came back to her senses and shook her head. She wanted to make sure that she was paying attention so that she would not miss any key details. Jensen could not help but shake his head. The only thing he could do to help was to serve her a few dishes. ¡°You b*stard! What is with you today? We¡¯ve already agreed to go on vacation tomorrow, why are you p ulling out now? Why?!

She even recalled her own mother¡¯s incident from the past. ¡®Carolyn used the same trick to ruin mom.¡® ¡®Now, they¡¯re ying the same old trick on me again.¡± ¡®Hah! But I¡¯m not like mom.¡® ¡°That year, mom treated Carolyn as her own best friend.

Jensen held her hand and said, ¡°Come up with an excuse and skip tomorrow¡¯s trip.¡± ¡°No, I must go!¡± Kisa¡¯s tone was stern. Her gaze was serious. Jensen nced at her from time to time. A strange feeling arose within him. He had never seen this version of Kisa. The old Kisa was a positive and active person. She was as lively as a child. But the current Kisa has matured a lot. After all, one has to experience hardships to grow in life. Jensenughed, ¡°Then, expose their n to Kelvin. I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll be furious.

Amidst the darkness, Gilbert looked at Kelvin with heavy eyes. ¡°Did you just say¡­ Kisa is going to the farm for a vacation with the Case family?¡± Kelvin nodded nkly. Gilbert had been gloomy the whole day. Kelvin did not dare to talk to him. Gilbert ced his ss on the table and came out from the corner. The atmosphere in the room immediately turned heavy. 1 Gilbert asked carefully, ¡°Is Jensen going too?¡± ¡°Errrr¡­¡± Kelvin thought for a while and replied, ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯s going. The Case family had never me ntioned about him.¡± It was only then did Gilbert rxed himself. Gilbert turned around, sat down on the sofa and continued drinking. The corner Gilbert was sitting at was the perfect spot. Everyone could ignore him. They could drink, eat ,ugh and chit chat freely. Now that he has moved to the center, they did not dare to chat more as the tense atmosphere persisted. Kelvin looked to the heavens and quietly thought, ¡®I¡¯m never inviting this guy over for any drinking sessi ons again.¡® The next day. Kisa wore a floral dress and put on some light makeup. She looked clean and lovely. Jensen felt a little worried when he sent her off, ¡°What if I go with you?¡± Kisa shook her head, ¡°I¡¯m worried they¡¯ll suspect something if you follow. If I go alone, they¡¯ll assume that I¡¯m still the old Kisa who isn¡¯t brave.¡± Jensen sighed, ¡°Alright then. Please be careful. Call me if anything happens.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± When Kisa reached the Case family¡¯s house, Carolyn and Sharon were ready. Kelvin and Gracie were there too. Gracie was shocked when she saw Kisa. Gracie smiled at her and said, ¡°Kisa, you¡¯ve really changed a lot.¡± ¡°Yeah. After I recovered, I gained a bit of weight.

But Carolyn insisted that wee over here so it¡¯s easier fo r us to meet up.

Kisa had already checked the route yesterday. In about ten minutes, the car should reach a road that was under construction. That was the most rural area. If Kisa had guessed it correctly, Anthony¡¯s men would ambush the car in that area. The ce where they suddenly stopped at was neither rural nor busy. It was the ce where Kisa and Jensen had discussed. A road sign made of stone they had marked down the day before. That¡¯s right. Kisa had arranged her own people to ambush the area. Her n was to make a move before Anthony kidnapped everyone. She could only get the upper hand when she beat Anthony to the draw. After the car stopped, a few masked men pulled open the car door. Carolyn and Sharon were in obvious disbelief. ¡°Wh¨CWho are you guys? What are you trying to do?¡± They found it weird that Anthony changed the location without informing them. Kisa sneered internally but pretended to be scared, ¡°What are you guys doing?! Don¡¯te near me!!! Gracie was not informed about this. Her face was genuinely filled with shock and panic. When the big sized men entered the car, Kelvin hurried over to guard Gracie with his body. He yelled at those men, ¡°What are you guys trying to do in broad daylight?¡± ¡°Shut up.

Kelvin could not protect everyone with just a pair of hands. After a while, the gangster pinned him down . Kelvin was enraged. He threatened and yelled at those big sized men but to no avail. A few of the men whipped out pen knives and stabbed at the shoulders of those in the car. All of them groaned and fainted instantly. ¡°Hiss!¡± After a long while, Kisa woke up in a daze. Her shoulders were extremely painful. She gritted her teeth and tried to move her muscles as she looked around her. ¡®This looks like a hut in the farm with a double bedroom.¡¯ Kelvin and Gracie were lying on the bed, knocked out.

Although the man in front of her was her biological father , seeing him angry made her happy. Those were the people who had hurt her mother, and she wanted each and every one of them to pay the price. ¡°How dare you hit me, Christopher?¡± Carolyn roared at him in disbelief. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m not just going to hit you.

He knew that she disliked Christopher Case and Sharon, but he did not expect her to frame Carolyn Marshall. ¡®She is a vicious woman. She ruined the entire Case f amily¡¯s reputation just because of some personal grievance she had against them,¡® he thought.

Maybe it is because he could not d o what this man was willing to do for Kisa. However, he was disgusted at the fact that Kisa had done su ch an evil thing to Carolyn. ¡°She shouldn¡¯t be this vicious,¡± Gilbert said in a low voice. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be helping a tyrant like her.¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± Jensenughed with a hint of sarcasm. ¡°I finally know why she hates you.¡± Gilbert stared at him without saying a word. ¡°It¡¯s because you never tried to get to know her.

The elder brother who had always protected him was gone. He never wanted things to be lik e this between them, but he knew that they could never go back to how things used to be. When Kisa returned to the apartment, Jensen was at the door, waiting for her. ¡°Why are you back sote? Have you eaten yet?¡± he asked and pulled her into the house.

That face was obviously not particrly good¨C looking, but at this moment, her smile seemed to be able to hook a man¡¯s heart.

Kisa then took a closer took in the mirror. The scar on her forehead was almost gone. With light makeup, it was almost invisible. Jensen then smiled at her. ¡°And here I didn¡¯t even realize you were that beautiful when I was younger.¡± Jensen¡¯s praise made her blush a little. She then gave herself another good look in the mirror. Actually, her current look was no different than five years ago. But Gilbert had never felt that she was pretty but instead always said that she was ckhearted and ug ly. Suddenly, she felt a chill around her neck. It was Jensen putting on a pearl ne around her neck. The ne matched well with the headpiece, looking extremely elegant.

In his eyes, she was always that unsightly. ¡®Only this man actually thinks I¡¯m pretty.¡® Kohen was a very popr person, and his banquet had drawn the attention of the entire business and media world.

When Kisa and Jensen arrived at the venue and were just about to show their invitation card, Sharon and Carolyn arrived as well.

Especially her gentle and quiet. temperament made people feel extrafortable to watch. In the banquet, noblewomen and celebritie s were beautifully dressed with exquisite makeup. Her elegant outfit was unique and attention¨C catching as soon as she appeared. Gilbert wasughing and joking with some friends at the mall when Kisa came in, and he never took his eyes off the woman since. He stared at her serene face almost greedily, his hand quietly clutching his goblet. She was no longer the wishy¨Cwashy, timid, and self¨C conscious. woman she had been before. She looked up, with a faint smile on her face, and walked in a captivating manner. The only thing that stung his eyes was Jensen beside her, as the man and woman were like a match made in heaven. He could not deny that he was terribly jealous, but there was nothin g he could do. ¡°Mr. Kooper, is she your ex¨Cwife?¡± ¡°Not ex¨Cwife.¡± It is my wife, and she has always been my wife,¡® Gilbert said in his mind as he snickered, and then walked toward Kisa and J ensen. ¡°Congrattions, this outfit has attracted a lot of men¡¯s attention again.¡± When he came to Kisa, he star ed at her radiant face and could not help but sneer. It was such a pure and idyllic face, but it disgusted him because, after rolling around with him, she became impatient about fooling around with other men. Every time she faced Gilbert, Kisa¡¯s heart fluttered. But the faint smile on her face was still unmistakabl e. ¡°Mr. Kooper, I¡¯m ttered, but I wonder if any of those men¡¯s stares include yours.¡± Gilbert hated her obsequiousness and the way she spoke in such an impudent tone. To be more precis e, he hated the fact that she appeared in front of other men in such a sultry manner.

She said to him with exasperation and anxiety, ¡°Gilbert, it seems that Kisa has really been with Jensen. Look at them; how intimate they are.

Sharon was so mad that she gritted her teeth, as in her mind, it was Kisa¡¯s presence that had stolen ev eryone¡¯s affection and attention from her.

She did not panic when she identally stepped on his foot, because he knew Jensen would never me her; he could tolerate everything about her. But Gilbert would neve r be so patient with her. He would only think she was stupid. She would feel sad whenever shepar ed Gilbert to Jensen. The melodious dance music continued, and Kisa was no longer nervous. She danced well, and Jensen smiled at her. ¡°You danced very well.

She did not dare to struggle too hard in public, in case the media caught her o n camera, and there would be a ze of rumor reporting, which would affect her and the J & K Film Gr oup¡¯s reputation. In her daze, Kisa made a few missteps and tramped on his shiny leather shoes. He gl ared at her with eyes about to burst into mes.

Her face was clearly captured in the photos, as if afraid that no one would recognize her. Kisa stared at the photos on the screen, as this was the scene where Madalyn asked her to go to the h otel. She felt at the time that it might be a plot by Sharon, but she could not figure out. what Sharon wa s up to by tricking her into going to the hotel. Even now, when she looked at the three photos, she coul d not guess what Sharon was up to. If Sharon wanted to use her of sleeping around, she should at l east have been photographed entering the hotel with a man. But the photos only showed her entering t he hotel alone.

He wondered what was wrong with her she said not a word to defend herself in front of the medi The reporters were getting more and more reckless, and the curses were getting stronger and stronger. Gilbert secretly clenched his hands at his side and was about to rify to the media for her when Kisa suddenly opened her mouth. ¡°Can someone hand me a pair of scissors?¡± Her sudden statement caused everyone to stare at her wide¨C eyed. Even Kohen looked at her in confusion. Chapter 271 Chapter 271 Chapter 271 Ms. Becker, Your Back After a moment of consternation, someone reacted quickly and asked the service crew to get the scissors. The reporters were asking questions. ''''Ms. Becker, we want a statement from you. Why do you want scissors?" "Yeah, Ms. Becker, what are you trying to pull here?" Kisa smiled at the crowd. "I''m not pulling any tricks. I''m just trying to exin to you." As she spoke, a service crew quickly brought the scissors and handed them to Kisa, and instantly everyone fell silent and looked at her in puzzlement. Gilbert frowned and stared at her for a moment. Sometimes, even he could not figure out what was going on in this woman''s mind. Kisa took off her shawl. In front of the crowd''s puzzled eyes, she took the scissors and slowly cut the garter fabric from the armpits along the waistline. Then she covered her chest with one hand and lifted the fabric from her back with the other. She slowly turned around and let her entire back show to the crowd. At once, everyone gasped when they sawrge burn marks on her back. Those ugly scars were in stark contrast to the silky-smoothplexion of the woman in the video; her back looked hideous. "Oh my God. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Ms. Becker, your back..." "Are these from that fire in the prison five years ago?" ¡°Ms. Becker, why don''t you get rid of the scars?" Gilbert stared sullenly at the gruesome burn scars and felt terribly sorry. He did not even know she still had these horrible marks on her body. Kisa slowly turned around and smiled indifferently at the crowd. "These scars won''t go away.¡± After that, she looked straight at the electronic screen. Now, do you still think that the woman in the video is me?" The crowd froze, and realization dawned on them. "Yeah, that woman in the video has a silky, smooth back, while Ms. Becker''s back is full of scars. That woman definitely can''t be Ms. Becker." "Absolutely. When that woman entered the hotel, she buried her face in that man''s arMs. We can''t see her face at all. So she definitely can''t be Ms. Becker." "Who is so vicious in wanting to frame Ms. Becker like this?" "If Ms. Becker didn''t have so many scars on her back, I''m afraid this video would have ruined her reputation." "It seems that Ms. Becker still needs to be more careful in the future. Someone is trying to harm you with dirty and vicious tactics." "Thank you all for your concern. All I need is for you all to believe me." Kisa smiled at the crowd and nced at Sharon and Carolyn with icy eyes. The sinister and triumphant smiles on Sharon''s face vanished, reced by a hint of anger. Meanwhile, a ruthless thought shed through Kisa mind, but she put on a puzzled and innocent look on her face, and said to the crowd, "I also feel very strange that I have never had a grudge against anyone, and I do not know who is so vicious, wanting to use such a dirty trick to harm me. I hope you all can help me find out who has just gone to the screening room." "Okay, Ms. Becker, don''t worry. We will help you find out." Someone soon instructed his men to find out.

In front of the crowd¡¯s puzzled eyes, she took the scissors and slowly cut the garter fabric from the armpits along the waistline. Then she covered her chest with one hand and lifted the fabric from her back with the other. She slowly turned around and let her entire back show to the crowd.

Someone is trying to harm you with dirty and vicious tactics.¡± ¡°Thank you all for your concern. All I need is for you all to believe me.¡± Kisa smiled at the crowd and nced at Sharon and Carolyn with icy eyes.

But five years ago, she was the one who stalked me and liked to bother me with everything. Now that Jensen is back, she doesn¡¯t need me anymore and won¡¯t even look at me. I¡¯m afraid that in those years, I have always been just a standin for Jensen.¡¯ Realizing this, he could no longer suppress his jealousy and pulled the woman, who was about to leave, into his arms. Kisa cried out in shock and fought back subconsciously, not expecting that the man kissed her against her will. ¡°Um¡­ w-what are you doing? L- Let go, Gilbert. Um¡­¡± The man wrapped one hand around her waist and cupped the back of her head with the other, leaving her with no way to run. His searing, frenzied kisses carried a sweeping rage and punishment. Kisa almost suffocated under his powerful attack. She tried desperately to dodge, but to no avail. The man¡¯s kiss was getting more and more fervent. She closed her eyes, and in desperation, she bit at him. Chapter 276 Chapter 276 Chapter 276 His Feisty Kiss Even so, I don''t need your help, and you don''t have to pretend in front of me." Gilbert was so pissed that he clenched his fists in silence. ''She doesn''t need my help, but she wants Jensen''s. Heh, she relies on Jensen now.'' Jealousy and anger that had been running through him for days. He just felt like he was going crazy with this woman. In his rage, heughed sarcastically. "You really think ] am helping you? J just said you are disgracing me." I "Vou..." Kisa was about to say something when Gilbert tossed her avender evening gown. "Put it on. Do you really think you can seduce men dressed like this? Ridiculous." It exasperated her that he always mocked her with such insults. Kisa looked down to hide the hurt and sadness. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. She did not want to get involved with him anymore, or even say another word to him. She grabbed thevender evening gown and slowly made her way to the bathroom. The burn scars on her back were once again imprinted into the man''s eyes. Gilbert''s heart skipped a beat as he stared at the scars on her back with aplicated emotion. Thest time he made out with her, he had not noticed these horrible scars. He could hardly imagine how much pain she had endured when she got such burns. She had always been the most afraid of pain. "I will find someone to remove the scars for you.¡± Kisa stopped in her tracks, and after a long while, she snickered. ''No need. After all, only these scars can remind me of the hatred in my heart." Gilbert''s heart missed a beat. Just as he wanted to say something, Kisa had already closed the bathroom door behind her. He stared sullenly at the door, a fleeting sense of mncholy and dull pain hitting him. . In no time, Kisa changed her clothes and came out of the bathroom. Thevender color really suited her, always bringing out her kind of elegant beauty. Different from the outfit just now, this one adopted a slim fishtail design, with high-quality fabrics and complex designs, which exuded a touch of ssiness besides elegance. Gilbert stared at her for a long time until she became impatient. "Can I leave now?" she asked. Gilbert looked down and his anger swelled again. ''Is she so sick of seeing me now, so desperate to get away from me? But five years ago, she was the one who stalked me and liked to bother me with everything. Now that Jensen is back, she doesn''t need me anymore and won''t even look at me. I''m afraid that in those years, I have always been just a stand-in for Jensen.'' Realizing this, he could no longer suppress his jealousy and pulled the woman, who was about to leave, into his arms. Kisa cried out in shock and fought back subconsciously, not expecting that the man kissed her against her will. "Um... w-what are you doing? L- Let go, Gilbert. Um..." The man wrapped one hand around her waist and cupped the back of her head with the other, leaving her with no way to run. His searing, frenzied kisses carried a sweeping rage and punishment. Kisa almost suffocated under his powerful attack. She tried desperately to dodge, but to no avail. The man''s kiss was getting more and more fervent. She closed her eyes, and in desperation, she bit at him. Chapter 277 Chapter 277 Chapter 277 You Made Me Do This The man was in pain and abruptly pushed her away. When he wiped his mouth, his hand was stained with blood. Kisa stepped back in shock. She looked into his eyes and shivered. "Y-You made me do this." "If Jensen had kissed you instead, wouldn''t you have been enjoying instead of biting him?" His voice was filled with rage as he said thest sentence. Kisa was afraid of his out-of-contro! look as much as she hated and resented him. She clenched her hands and said, "Yes, you are right. If it was Jensen, I would be enjoying it, and you, I just feel disgusted." ''Didn''t he always say I was disgusting? What''s with this forced kiss? It is ridiculous and ironic, just like that time when he called me cheap and disgusting and forced himself on me. Doesn''t he feel that his words and actions contradict each other?" The knuckles of his hands crackled as Gilbert clenched his hands. Kisa''s heart was pounding, and she turned to leave, fearing that he would do something to her again. But as soon as her hand reached the doorknob, the door was pushed open from the outside. She bumped into the door and was forced back several steps. When she saw that the person who came in was Jensen, she suddenly felt relieved. Jensen was equally relieved and took Kisa into his arms when he saw her. "I''m d you are okay. I just heard there was an incident at the party. I''m to me for leaving in the middle of it." Gilbert''s eyes looked like they were hardened with ice, staring at the two of them with a deadly gaze. ''I knew it; the only person she wants to rely on is that man.'' The atmosphere in the lounge was tense as a storm was brewing inside Gilbert. - Kisa could not stay any longer. She withdrew from Jensen''s arms and said to him, "The party is almost over, right? Let''s talk to Mr. McCray for a minute beforewe go." "Okay." Jensen nodded his head, a look of anger shing in his eyes when he saw the blood on Gilbert''s lips. "Thank you for protecting Kisa just now," he said. "Thank you?" Gilbertughed morosely with sarcasm. "Who are you to say thank you to me when I protect her? Who are you to her, and in what position do you say thank you to me? Huh?" "He is crazy, Jensen. Ignore him. Let''s go," Kisa said, tugging Jensen to hurry outside. The look of urgency to get away from him made Gilbert mad. He violently kicked over the row of evening gowns and the coffee table. Davian heard the noise and hurried in, only to find Gilbert sitting on the couch in a rage, his grave expression making him unapproachable. Gilbert lit a cigarette and took a long drag before saying to Davian, "Find out what the rtionship between that woman and Jensen is." "Huh? W-Which woman?" Gilbert shot a grave nce at him, and Davian quickly replied, "''U- Understood. I-It is that skanky woman, isn''t it?" Gilbert said nothing, but just dragged on his cigarette. "Don''t worry, Mr. Kooper. I''m going to check it out." Davian cautiously said, On the way back, Jensen was focusing on the road while Kisa sat silently, staring out the window vacantly. As they arrived downstairs at the apartment, Jensen saw her nk expression and whispered, "I heard all about what happened at the party. Are you okay?" Kisa shook her head, and then sneered, "Carolyn and Sharon think I''m still an easy target, as I used to be. Heh, this time they really shot themselves in the foot. I think Carolyn could never make aeback again. But it''s a shame I haven''t brought Sharon down." "Well, that is not a problem. Aren''t you going to be on the set of the drama soon? This drama is your best weapon to bring down Sharon, and also a perfect opportunity for you to smash Gilbert and GK." Kisa''s eyes narrowed with a sneer as she thought about the thrill of getting her revenge. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. ''Yeah, no rush. I''m going to y with them this time around.

Thank you Chapter 278 Chapter 278 Chapter 278 The More You Care About Something, The More You Wreck It The sadness in her eyes was apparent as much as her face was full of vengeful passion. Jensen took a long, hard look at her. "Gilbert did nothing to you just now, did he?" Kisa sneered. "What else could he do to me now?" ¡°But aren''t you depressed because of him?" Kisaughed and shook her head, then said ina careless tone of voice, "I''m just puzzled; some people say one thing and do something else, so contradictory." Jensen looked at her with a smile. "You mean Gilbert? "Yes. He called me dirty and cheap, but then he just kissed me against my will. Don''t you think he is ridiculously contradictory?" Jensen pursed his lips, not knowing what to say fora moment. Kisa shook her head and smiled. "Forget it. What is the point of talking about him? I''m tired. Let''s go back and rest." Jensen stared from behind at her exhausted body with a hard-to-describe emotion. He knew Gilbert best; this younger brother of his never knew how to express his love, and the more he cared about something, the more he would wreck it. CLANK! Sharon smashed the ss in Anthony''s hand hard on the floor and hissed at him. "You are still in the mood to drink here? Didn''t you say you wanted to get back at Kisa with me? But look at her; she is all over me today. Don''t you think you are powerful? Then take some action. Don''t count on me for everything." "Count on you?" Anthony sneered. "I really don''t dare to count on you." "Vou... 1 "Still, what happened at the party today wasn''t a bad thing." Sharon frowned. "My and my mother''s reputations are almost ruined, yet you are still saying it is not a bad thing?" ¡°What''s the hurry? This party thing, on the contrary, gives me a perfect opportunity." Sharon stared at him in confusion. ''What opportunity?" Anthony smiled meaningfully with his cigarette in his mouth. "A chance to ce a pawn next to Kisa." "A pawn?" Sharon sneered. "I thought you had something big nned." Anthony ignored her and justughed to himself. Kisa had a good night''s sleep because she had gotten back at Carolyn. It was the only good night''s sleep she had had since returning to Calthon. In the morning, she drew the curtains and opened the window. The dazzling sunlight and gentle breeze came in, brightening her mood up. Kisa closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling for the first time that her life was no longer full of darkness. She still had a lot to do, wanting to ruin Sharon''s reputation, wanting to hurt Gilbert, wanting to make all those who had bullied her regret. It energized her to think about all these goals. She took out her phone and started to read yesterday''s news. Carolyn''s life has been turned upside down because of what happened at the farm that day and at the party yesterday. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. The articles criticized her and condemned her in a big way. While the media criticized and condemned Carolyn, they did not forget to praise Kisa generously. Such an extreme contrast must have made Carolyn and Sharon mad. The newspaper report was extremelyforting to Kisa. She smirked, and when her eyes fell on the news again, she noticed a picture. She frowned and zoomed in on the picture. Chapter 279 Chapter 279 Chapter 279 Did They Threaten You With Something? The apanying picture was the scene where Lea identified Sharon. And as she zoomed in, she noticed that both Sharon and Anthony were staring at Lea with intimidation. Kisa''s heart skipped a beat upon seeing this. Near the end of the party yesterday, she hurried back home and did not know what happened to Lea. Carolyn, Sharon, and Anthony were all ruthless and vindictive. Kisa was afraid that they might take revenge on Lea. After all, Lea was just an ordinary person with no backing. Anxious, Kisa quickly dialed Lea''s phone, but Lea did not answer despite calling her several times. As a bad feeling hit her and she became panicked, she drove to Lea''s ce in a hurry. Lea rented an ordinary one-bedroom apartment, which was notparable to those luxury apartments, but the ce was clean. Kisa stood in front of the unit on the second floor, where Lea lived, and knocked on the door, but no one answered. She frowned, and the bad feeling only got stronger. She gave it a few more knocks. But still, no one answered. Just as she was about to turn around and go to the bar to look for her, the door creaked open. She shuddered. As she turned around, she was shocked to see Lea, with bruises all over her face, appearing in the doorway. Her heart skipped a beat, and she asked through gritted teeth. "Who did this to you?" Lea, with tears in her eyes, did not answer but just shook her head before saying, "I''m fine, Kisa. Go home. Don''t worry about me. " "You are all beaten up like this, yet you say you are fine?" Kisa said indignantly and was about to enter the door. But Lea held the doorknob with one hand and the door frame with the other, blocking Kisa in the doorway, as if she did not want to let Kisa enter her house. Kisa could not help but be suspicious. Her gut feeling told her that someone must be in Lea''s house, and that Lea did not let her in because she did not want her to get hurt. She became more and more worried about Lea with this thought in mind. She hugged Lea and whispered, "Don''t you be afraid. I won''t let anyone hurt you again. " "Kisa, I. " Lea hesitated, not knowing whether she should let Kisa in. "I-I''m sorry." "Silly girl. How can you say such a thing? I''m the one who should be sorry. " Kisa let go of her with a hint of guilt in her voice. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. "If it wasn''t for me, they wouldn''t have retaliated against you," she said, enraged to see the bruises on her face. "Tell me, did Anthony''s men do these to you?" Lea shook her head vigorously. "It''s not him. It''s not him." "Then that must be Carolyn and Sharon, mustn''t it?" This time, Lea said nothing. Kisa was almost convinced now. She turned around, ready to go after the vicious mother and daughter. But Lea hurriedly pulled her back. "Forget it, Kisa. It doesn''t hurt very much. " "It doesn''t hurt when they beat you up like that?" Kisa was furious and hated that she had not beaten that vicious mother and daughter to death that day. "It really doesn''t hurt. It will get better in a few days. " BANG! There was a sudden loud noise in the house as soon as Lea''s voice trailed off. Lea tensed up with a sh of nervousness on her face. Kisa frowned at seeing her expression. "Who is in the house? Is it them? Did they threaten you with something?" Fearing for Lea''s safety, she pushed her away and stormed into the house with no hesitation. "Kisal" Lea was Startled and turned around to follow her.

Chapter 280 Chapter 280 Chapter 280 I''ll Beat Them to Death! Kisa stared in rm at the mess in the house. The TV, coffee table, couch, and other furniture were all smashed to pieces; clothes, dishes, household items were scattered all over the ce. She clenched her hands and asked Lea in anger, "Carolyn and Sharon did this, too, didn''t they?" Lea pursed her lips and said nothing. Kisa gritted her teeth. "They better still be here. I''m going to beat them to death." "Kisa..." Lea called out to her in a predicament. Kisa did not see anyone in the living room, so she checked out the bedroom, which was just as messy, the bedsheet rumpled, as if someone had exercised on it. She saw at the end of the bed an inky blue tie, which looked familiar. As she was about to pick it up and take a closer look, Lea grabbed it and hid it behind her back with a smile. "Don''t get mad, Kisa. They are gone. They are long gone, and they are noting back, really." "The tie..." "It belonged to a client of mine. I found it in a bar and brought it back with me, intending to return it to him when I had the chance, but I never got the chance." Kisa did not give it a second thought. "I don''t feelfortable with you staying here. Why don''t you move in with me?" Lea shook her head quickly. "No, no, no... I can''t." Why not? If we stay together, we can take care of each other, and Carolyn and Anthony won''t dare to take revenge on you so tantly." "I-I stay here, and I like staying here." "Lea..." "And I''m afraid of people gossiping if I stay at your ce for no reason. And most importantly, I would disturb you and Jensen." Kisaughed. "I don''t stay in the same house with him. Besides, I''m short of an assistant. You know, Jensen is a man, and he can''t arrange a lot of things in my life. So Lea, be my assistant." "Be your assistant?" Lea''s eyes clearly brightened for a second, but then she suddenly seemed to remember something and shook her head. "No, no, no. I haven''t done this job before. I''m afraid I can''t do it well." "You will. You are so attentive; you can do it well." Kisa took her hand, really wanting her to be her assistant. Lea still looked hesitant. "Let me think about it, then. " "Okay." Kisa nodded her head and went to look in the bathroom and kitchen again and still did not find anyone. She felt strange because she had heard a loud noise justing from somewhere. Anyway, Kisa still did not feelfortable with Lea staying here alone. She was afraid that Carolyn and Sharon might harm her again. Not to mention Anthony, who was such a pervert. She said to Lea, "I can give you time to think about being my assistant, but you have toe with me to my ce now. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. I''m really afraid they will take revenge on you." "It is really unnecessary." "If you don''t go to my ce, then I will stay here with you today. If theye, I can deal with them together with you, instead of leaving you here alone to suffer and I have no peace of mind." "Kisa..."" Lea could not dissuade her, so she went with Kisa to her ce. Just as they left, a man emerged from the closet with a triumphant smile on his evil-looking face. Chapter 281 Chapter 281 Chapter 281 Suspecting She Forgot to Close the Door Before Going to Bed The woman with bruises on her face was twisting her fingers. Jensen looked at her and chuckled. "Don''t be nervous. Since you are Kisa¡¯s friend, you are mine, too." "T-Thank you, Mr. Kooper." "No need to be so formal. Feel free to call me Jensen, as Kisa does." "Okay, Jensen," Lea said, looking less nervous than she had just been. Jensen scanned her with a smile. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "How did you end up waitressing at the party yesterday?" "]..."" Lea tensed up again. Kisa brought out the finished dishes and could not help butugh at the scene. "Jensen, don''t be so serious with her. She will be scared." Jensen smiled helplessly. "I''m serious?" "No, no, no, Mr. Kooper..." "Hmm?" "I mean Jensen." Lea changed her tone in a panic. "Y- You are not serious at all." She could not even speak properly because she was nervous. Kisa brought them both over to the dining table with amusement and said to Jensen, "Lea used to take part -time jobs to supplement her ie. I think a friend of hers must have introduced her to waitress at the party yesterday." Lea nodded her head. "Yeah, yeah. My friend said there was a recruitment for temporary waitstaff, so I signed up for it." "Thanks to Lea yesterday. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have had any evidence against Carolyn and Sharon." Lea smiled coyly. ''''I wasn''t of much help, mainly because | didn''t know at first that the person they were going to target was you. Otherwise, I would have warned you in advance. Good thing you are okay." "Lea was implicated because of this incident. So Jensen, I''m thinking of hiring her as my assistant and bringing her to stay with me." "Hiring her as your assistant?" Lea thought Jensen would not agree and quickly shook her head. "No, no. I''m just a beer girl. How can 1 be the assistant for a superstar?" forgotten to close the door before she went to bed. Kisa walked over with her ss of water and was about to close the door when a figure suddenly appeared in the doorway, startling her. She looked closer and saw that it was Lea. "W-Why are youing back from the outside?" "This is my first time staying in such an upscale ce. I guess I haven''t got used to it and couldn''t sleep at night. so I went downstairs to have a look around." Kisa did not give it a second thought, but nodded. "I will show you around in the next two days. I won''t have much time when The Legend of Luna starts shooting. As for the matter of you being my assistant, you..." "I just thought about it for a long time outside and decided that I''d better be your assistant. I''m grateful that you don''t find me embarrassing. So I should cherish this opportunity." Kisa took her hand in hers with amusement. "How could J find you embarrassing? We''re good friends." Lea nodded her head vigorously. "Don''t worry, Kisa. | will do this job well." The door across the hallway opened slowly as they entered the house and closed the door.

Chapter 282 Chapter 282 Chapter 282 Just Paying a Visit Jensen leaned against the door and smoked as he gazed at the door to Kisa''s room with a frown. At GK Pictures''s CEO office, Davian ced the information he had checked carefully on Gilbert''s desk and said, "Mr. Kooper, this is all found about your brother''s rtionship with that lecherous woman." Gilbert buried his head in his work and did not look up. ''''Read it out to me." "Okay." Davian nodded in response and hurriedly picked up the neatly folded documents. Ever since the party, Gilbert had be unpredictable, sullen all day long, so much so that Davian found he could no longer speak freely as before. Now he really wished that Kisa was there. As long as the Kisa was in, Gilbert would not make him a punching bag when he was not happy. And now, Gilbert would take it out on him _ when he was upset. Davian started to summarize the information when he thought of how miserable his life was. "I could only find things about your brother and that woman for the past seven years; there is nothing beyond that, as if some mysterious force has deliberately erased their history." Gilbert narrowed his eyes. "Go on." "That woman named Mia Fallon has followed your brother since seven years ago. They aren''t like lovers, but more like ordinary friends. But five years ago, your brother adopted a baby boy and named him ke Kooper, who has since been living with Mia. It is that arrogant boy who wanted to y ball with youst time." While speaking, Davian handed him a picture of ke Kooper. Gilbert took the picture and stared at the serious- looking boy in it. He could not help but think of Andrew as the two boys had the same expression in the picture, both with serious faces. "''Mr. Kooper, I think your brother and this woman are really just ordinary friends. If there was really some romantic rtionship between them, your brother wouldn''t have been pursuing Mrs. Kooper." Gilbert sneered. ''''Who knows? I won''t spare him if he is seeing another woman while dating Kisa." "J don''t think your brother is that kind of person," Davian said. Gilbert thought of what Kisa said the other day that Jensen was not that kind of person. He thought they both put too much trust in Jensen. Thinking of this, he could not help but feel jealous, his face darkening. Davian saw this and hurriedly changed the subject. " Mr. Kooper, Sharon''s mother, Carolyn, has been in the news a lottely, and Sharon''s reputation has been implicated. Do you think we should rece the female lead in the Goddess of My Adoration? The second male Howard is also a basket case, anyway. Why not rece them all?" "No need to change. Just keep her." "But would Sharon''s notorious reputation affect the drama if she remains the lead actress?" "There''s nothing wrong with that." Gilbert fiddled with the pen in his hand and smiled. ''If it were anyone else, thepetition between GK and theJ & K Film Group would be less fun. After all, Sharon and 1 are the ones the woman wants to get back at, and without Sharon, how could the game continue?! Davian shuddered at the sight of the strange smile on Gilbert''s face. "Mr. Kooper, if there is nothing else, I will leave you to it." "Find out when and where the J & K Film Group''s drama will start shooting." Davian was puzzled. "What do you want to do, Mr. Kooper?" Gilbert leaned back with a chuckle. "Nothing. I just want to pay them a visit."Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Chapter 283 Chapter 283 Chapter 283 A Strange Coincidence After a week of resting at home, Kisa received a notice from the set to arrive at 8am sharp. As Arie¡¯s assistant, she had traveled from set to set, but this was the first time she had ever been on set as a female lead. She was so excited that day that she got up early. Equally excited was Lea, who was up ten minutes earlier than Kisa. The two of them swiftly freshened up and went out in a whirlwind, not even bothering to take their breakfast. Jensen was leaning against the door and watching them with amusement. ¡°It is just a film set, not a job interview. What is the hurry? It is still one hour before eight. Come back in and have breakfast.¡± ¡± ¡°No. It is my first day on set. I would rather be early thante,¡± Kisa said with gusto, her eyes glowing. Jensen had a moment of fascination, as the woman in front of him seemed to be back in her youth, full of smiles and vigor. He stopped her again when he saw she was in a hurry to leave. When he came out of the house again, he had two boxes of breakfasts in his hands. He handed them to Lea and smiled at Kisa. ¡°I still have to n your subsequent shooting and film contracts, so I won¡¯t go to the set today.¡± ¡°It is alright. I will be fine with Lea with me.¡± Jensen looked at Lea again. ¡°Take good care of her for me.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will.¡± Jensen shook his head in amusement as he watched the two of them hurriedly enter the elevator. They were like young girls who had just graduated; excited, nervous, energetic. But when Kisa arrived on the set, her good mood turned bad. It turned out that on the set, besides their crew, there was another crew, which she could not be more familiar with. It was the crew of Goddess of My Adoration. This was really a strange coincidence, as The Legend of Luna and Sharon¡¯s Goddess of My Adoration were actually filmed on the same day and in the same location. She was no longer at the mercy of Sharon¡¯s bullying, but she still did not feel like wanting to see that vicious woman. Kisa arrived at the set more than half an hour early, but the lead actor had not yet arrived. So she had to wait. Since the news of her founding the J & K Film Group had already been made public, most of the people on the set respected her, except for the director, Sharon, and her gang. The director was a well-known figure in the industry and known for his entricities. The reason he was willing to direct The Legend of Luna was also because of Kohen, who had a powerful influence in the industry. ¡°Look! Is this Kisa?¡± A familiar voice came with an unfamiliarughter at this moment. Kisa turned to look and saw Arieing over with a ttering smile. No wonder she found thisughter unfamiliar-Arie had everughed at her like this. ¡°Kisa, I really didn¡¯t expect you to make it to this role. I was blind and didn¡¯t know who you really were. I apologize if I have offended youst time.¡± ¡°No, no,¡± Kisa said with a smile. ¡°I should thank you for taking care of mest time. Otherwise, I would have been sleeping on the streets.¡± ¡°Oh,e on, Kisa. You deserve the praises. You are now the CEO of the J & K Film Group. I should call you Miss CEO instead.¡± ¡°Just call me Kisa.¡± She actually did not hate Arie, who might be bossy, but she was not a bad person. Seeing Arie reminded her of the contract between them. ¡°Right, Arie. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. When I was your assistant, I missed work repeatedly. Now, I¡¯m even doing something else. I will pay you the 100-million-dorpensation for breach of contractter.¡± Arie shook her head vigorously. ¡°It is alright.

Thank you Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 284 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 284 Chapter 284 Can¡¯t Get Past the Kissing Scene Kisa was transfixed. ¡°Someone already gave you that 100 million dors in default money for me?¡± She wondered who would be that nice. ¡°Mr. Kooper. Mr. Kooper of GK Pictures. He already gave it to me long ago,¡± Arie said with a smile. Kisa pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a while. Arie looked at her with an envious face. ¡°Kisa, I really envy you. You were Mr. Kooper¡¯s wife, the wife of GK¡¯s CEO. Tsk, it feels so awesome by just thinking about it.¡± Enter title¡­ At this time, Sharon arrived on the set surrounded by a group of assistants. Arie gave Sharon a sidelong nce and said to Kisa, ¡°I don¡¯t know what Mr. Kooper is thinking. With the scandal of Sharon and her mother, and her disfigurement with stiff face muscles, such as, I wonder why Mr. Kooper hasn¡¯t reced the lead role of Goddess of My Adoration.¡± ¡®Heh, Gilbert has always been so forgiving of Sharon. If it were me, Gilbert would probably have immediately squirreled me away,¡¯ Kisa thought to herself. ¡°Oh, Sharon is really being pampered. Look, Mr. Kooper is visiting her again.¡± Arie suddenly eximed in surprise as Kisa was in thoughts. Kisa looked up and saw Gilbert on the set. He and Sharon arrived just a few minutes apart, as if they hade together. This realization upset her. ¡°I don¡¯t know what is so great about Sharon that Mr. Kooper likes her so much. I don¡¯t think she is as good as you,¡± Arie suddenly said with indignation. ¡°You used to think I was no good, too,¡± Kisa said jokingly. ¡°That was before. You are my idol now, the kind of woman I look up to.¡± Arie sounded more and more dramatic. Just then, Sharon¡¯s assistant, Cndina Brown, ran over. ¡°Do you want to be the second female or not? It is about to start shooting, and you are still chatting with some random people. Hurry up and get over there. Don¡¯t make Sharon wait.¡± ¡°Kisa is not some random person. She-¡± ¡°Arie, go on.¡± Cndina was Sharon¡¯s best assistant. She was arrogant and liked to chuck her weight around. Kisa did not want Arie to offend Cndina and Sharon for her. Otherwise, they might make life difficult for Arie next time. Arie red at Cndina and then talked to Kisa for a second before running toward Goddess of My Adoration¡¯s set. At this time, the lead actor Kisa was partnering with had also arrived. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. His name was Roy Pord, the current popr male star. Roy was clean-shaven and handsome, with an easy-going personality. Talking to him was rxing, but Kisa still became nervous when started acting with him. On the other hand, Roy was also seen nervous, probably because he cared about her identity. The Legend of Luna was a female-themed drama about a woman whose family had fallen on hard times and who, in order to support her mother and younger siblings, went to work as a maid in the pce and finally became a queen through her own efforts. The male protagonist, yed by Roy, was the childhood friend of the female protagonist. After the male protagonist entered the pce, he became an important minister in the imperial court through his own efforts, and then silently guarded and helped the female protagonist. The first scene of this drama was the scene where the male and female protagonists parted; the male protagonist rushed to see her off when the female protagonist was going to the pce as a maid. Kisa could grasp the lines and emotions well enough. But it was the kissing scene she could not get past. ¡°Cut!¡± the director mercilessly shouted for the shooting to halt. Gilbert looked with a smirk at the woman, who appeared chagrined and embarrassed in the middle of the shooting Chapter 285 Biting Off More Than You Can Chew Chapter 285 Biting Off More Than You Can Chew "What is wrong with you guys? You two can''t even act a simple kiss scene properly. They are saying goodbye. Goodbye. Understand? The goodbye kiss has to be done with a bit of sadness. But look how you two kissed? Each of you closed your eyes tightly, as if you were forced to kiss. Do you want the audience to watch your horrible acts?" The Goddess of My Adoration crew burst intoughter. Kisa''s face reddened with anxiety and embarrassment, and Roy''s face also turned slightly red. The director pointed at and scolded him. "The first time I saw you in a martial arts drama, you were not bad, your acting skills natural and dynamic. That was the reason I agreed to make you the lead actor in this drama. Now you gave me this horrible acting in the first scene." "I''m sorry. It is my fault. I will correct it." "Fine. Fine. You guys go take a break. Stop pissing me off." The director waved at them and called out to the others, "Next scene." Kisa sat down on the chair with her head hanging low and asked Lea sadly, "Did I really suck at acting just now?" Lea pursed her lips and then said, "Who said that? You acted well." Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. As soon as she saw Lea was trying tofort her, Kisa became more and more frustrated. "It is her fault. Her acting sucks, causing our Roy to be scolded as well." "Yeah. They say herpany is funding this drama. But I can''t ept her to y the female lead. Can''t she find someone better to y the role? Why does it have to be her? Is she crazy about getting famous?" "Absolutely. She is dragging us all down. If Roy''s poprity declines, it will be all her fault." The voices of several of Roy''s assistantsining came from the side. Kisa subconsciously clenched her hands with a hint of guilt inside her. ''I promised I would work hard to y the role well and not to disappoint Jensen and Kohen. How could I be so useless? No, I can''t be discouraged. No matter what, I must act well in this drama.'' She tilted her head and took a deep breath. While doing this, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Gilbert sitting on the opposite set. Gilbert, as the CEO of GK Pictures, was the center of attention on the set. His presence also made her feel uneasy. He was sitting on afortable lounge chair with arge umbre over his head and several staff waiting on him. Kisa could not help but curse silently. ''It is a waste of manpower and resources for a CEO toe and visit.'' The two sets were not far apart, and Gilbert was watching her with a faint smile, as if mocking her and telling her, "Look, you want to be an international superstar with such bad acting skill? You are biting off more than you can chew." She became even more determined to do well in this drama. As she stared back at Gilbert, Roy suddenly came up to her. "Kisa, are you okay?" Kisa smiled at him and shook her head. "I''m fine. You?" "I''m fine, too. When I first got into the business, I got yelled at worse than this," Roy said, ncing toward his assistants and said, "Just now my assistants didn''t know what they were saying. Please don''t take it to heart." "How could Kisa not take it to heart? What your assistants said was nasty." "Lea!" Kisa stopped her and said to Roy, "It is okay. They were actually right; I got you into this. After all, you have acting skills and experience, and I have nothing." "You are much better than some rookies in the industry. Come on, let''s do a good job together in this drama." "Okay." Kisa''s impression of Roy was good, unlike Howard, whose kindness to her felt kind of fake. But Roy was a really gentle and kind guy. "Gilbert, I really have to say that my sister is a man-ma. It is only the first scene, and she has got along so well with Roy. That smile of hers... Eh, where are you going, Gilbert?"

Thank you Chapter 286 Co-acting with Gilbert Kooper Chapter 286 Co-acting with Gilbert Kooper They did another take for the first scene. This time, Kisa tried to get herself in the zone by gently closing her eyes. She had a sad and yearning expression. Nevertheless, the director still ended up shouting "cut". ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . However, Roy was the problem this time. The director chastised him, "What are you doing? You''ve been an actor for years. How could your acting skills be worse than a freshie''s?" Roy lowered his head respectfully, "Sorry, sir." "What''s the use of apologizing? Sigh. Are you all trying to piss me off today? I never should''ve epted this production." "Please calm down, sir. We''ll definitely do our best for this production," Kisa said frantically. Suddenly, they heardughtere from the neighboring production crew. Cndinaughed the loudest. "Tsk tsk tsk. I''m about to die ofughter. Why continue acting if you can''t even do something as basic as a kiss scene? Just go home." Lea was furious. She shouted, "Stop being so insolent. Why don''t you go do it instead? That''s if you''ve got what it takes." "You!" "Hah. While we don''t have what it takes, at least we aren''t holding back our male co-star." "That''s right. Roy is an A-list celebrity after all. Do you all see how he''s being held back by this woman who has no talent in acting?" "This just goes to show that working with someone who doesn''t know how to act will screw up the production." The director felt annoyed watching the two production crews argue with each other. "Whatever. I''m so pissed off. Let''s just call it a day." ''But it''s only noon, isn''t it too early to call it a day?'' wondered Kisa. She quickly stopped the directors, "Please let us do a few more takes? We need to finish this take. Otherwise, it''ll affect subsequent production flow" "Since you know that it''ll affect the subsequent production flow, could the two of you try a little bit harder when you''re acting?" The director sounded incredibly frustrated. Kisa nodded determinedly. "I''ll definitely do my best for this take today." Roy quickly chimed in, "That''s right, let''s try a few more takes." The director huffed angrily, "Alright, let''s do a few more takes. If we don''t get this right, I''m quitting. However, if Mr. McCray puts the me on me, you all had better clear my name; you are the ones not working hard." And so they did another take for the first scene. "Cut!" "Cut!'' "Cut!'' ... The director was about to go mad after shouting cut four consecutive times, and so was Kisa. Meanwhile, Roy was about to cry. Theughter from the neighboring production crew grew louder. Roy''s assistant turned anxious and startedining about Kisa. On the other hand, Lea was furious andining about Roy. The two of them then started a heated argument. The set erupted into chaos. The director leaned into the chair weakly. His rugged face waspletely devoid of emotions. "The two of you are¡­amazing. Go find a new director. I can''t do this." "Sir..." Kisa was about to cry. She continued anxiously, "Please give us another chance." Roy also looked at the director with a pleading expression. However, the director waved his hand weakly, "I want to live a long life, so please stop stressing me out." Suddenly, a husky voice pierced through theughter and shouts on the set. "Well, then. I''ll teach this actor how to act in a kiss scene." Everyone on set promptly fell silent. They all turned to the source of the voice. To their surprise, Gilbert had run over to The Legend of Luna''s set and was standing behind Kisa. Chapter 287 Gilberts Costume Chapter 287 Gilbert''s Costume Kisa could not help but freeze when she heard Gilbert''s voice ring above her head. She rejected the idea of it and spun around hurriedly, "There''s no need!" "Hah!" Gilbert chuckled. His deep chuckle was pleasant to the ears but somehow had a hint of sarcasm. "I''m not teaching you how to act in a kiss scene, I''m teaching this actor over here. Your rejection doesn''t mean anything," he said to Kisa. Then, he turned to Roy, "Do you need me to teach you?" The CEO of GK Pictures is going to teach me himself!'' thought Roy. Naturally, he felt excited and honored. Roy nodded furiously, "I would be honored, Mr. Kooper." Gilbert raised an eyebrow at Kisa. "What did I tell you? He needs my help." Kisa gritted her teeth and red at him hatefully. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. What is he trying to do? Is he here to make fun of me? Or to mess with me?'' wondered Kisa. "Sure! Sure! All of us are most excited to see Mr. Kooper show us how a kiss scene is done. I heard a while ago that even though you haven''t acted in any productions, you were at the top of your ss back in drama school. I''m sure your acting skills won''t disappoint." The director was suddenly in high spirits and peering at Gilbert excitedly when he looked lifeless just moments ago. Gilbert chuckled, "You speak too highly of me. I just felt bad for the actors after seeing you yell cut that many times. That''s why I''m here to help them out." How kind of you!'' Kisa thought sarcastically. The director quickly praised him, "I''ve heard that you''re a generous and open-minded man, so the rumors are true! The Legend of Luna is a production under J & K Film Group, apetitor of GK Pictures, yet you''re still willing to help them out under such circumstances. With someone as open- minded as you as the CEO, it''s no wonder GK Pictures made it this big." Kisa felt like she was about to puke from hearing the director''s praise. ''Gilbert''s a generous and open-minded man? That''s hrious! He''s the pettiest and most narrow- minded person ever. And helping us out was a load of bull. He''s clearly trying to mess with me and make fun of me. I really don''t want to do a kiss scene with Gilbert. The thought of it makes my skin crawl,'' thought Kisa. However, the director had already set up the camera. Everyone around them had expectant gazes. The most frustrating thing was the director had Gilbert change into Roy''s costume and proceeded to get the stylist to style his hair to a hairstyle of the drama''s period. Kisa could not help but roll her eyes. This is more than just showing Roy how to act in a kiss scene. The director clearly wants Gilbert to rece Roy as the male lead! ''Regardless, I have to admit that Gilbert looks dashing and handsome in this costume; only a single nce was enough to dazzle me.'' In The Legend of Luna, the male lead first appeared in amoner''s clothes and had the image of a gentleman. Roy suited the image of the male lead. On the other hand, after Gilbert had donned the costume, he seemed ethereal and exuded the elegant aura of a gentleman. ''Ethereal?'' Kisa abruptly shook her head at the thought of his ever-changing personality. How could I associate this hot-tempered, fickle-minded, and cold-hearted man with etherealness?'' she thought. When Gilbert appeared in the costume, everyone was instantly stunned. Even the director himself was so stunned that he forgot to blink. Lea could not help but tug Kisa''s shirt sleeve, "Kisa, Mr. Kooper has always looked so handsome; who would''ve thought that he''d look this good in the costume? Oh my gosh, I''m about to faint." Kisa held her forehead speechlessly. Meanwhile, the director shook his head and sighed, "Mr. Kooper, it''s a waste for you to not be a celebrity."

Thank you Chapter 288 His Acting Chapter 288 His Acting Gilbert responded as if he were joking, "Since you think of me so highly, what do you think of being the director for the uing drama GK Pictures is nning?" "Of course, of course. I''d be honored. But would you be willing to be the male lead, Mr. Kooper?" "I''ll be the male lead if Ms. Becker, the CEO of J & K Film Group, is willing to be my co-actress." "She''s willing. I''m sure she''s willing," the director said while throwing Kisa desperate nces. Kisa felt resigned. She then responded dispiritedly, "I''m fine as long as you don''t get annoyed with my bad acting skills." "I won''t. You won''t have bad acting skills when you''re acting with me," Gilbert smiled meaningfully. Even though Gilbert had a teasing expression, nobody dared to treat the things he said as a joke. Meanwhile, Sharon was fuming. ''I''m GK Pictures''s most popr actress, so Gilbert and I should be the couple envied by all! I''m the one who should be admired by everyone on the set! Besides, I''m the only one who has the right to act alongside Gilbert. Who is that woman to take away what''s rightfully mine? Who is she?!'' thought Sharon. Cndina attempted to butter her up, "Don''t be angry, Sharon. That woman''s nothing; she''s no better than a servant. Mr. Kooper acting with her may be an attempt to embarrass her." "Hah! The things that you''ve said are tooughable. Mr. Kooper clearly likes Kisa. Did you not hear what he said? He''ll be the male lead only if Kisa''s willing to be his co-actress. Meanwhile, Sharon won''t stop pestering Mr. Kooper. I also don''t see Mr. Kooper stooping to her level to act with her. You don''t need me to tell you who''s the one no better than a servant, right?" Lea promptly retorted. She could not bear hearing others speaking ill of Kisa. Cndina red at her furiously, "You vermin! How dare you!" Just as Cndina was about to run up to Lea and get into a physical fight, Sharon grabbed her in annoyance. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. "That''s enough. Have you not embarrassed me enough these past few days?" "But Sharon, she..." Sharon threw an icy nce at Lea before sneering, "What''s the matter? Did you forget how I beat you upst time? Don''t think that Anthony will protect you just because you''ve slept with him. Let me tell you something, if I wanted you dead, Anthony would only sit by and watch." Lea''s expression promptly changed; she did not respond. Sharon threw her another nce at her disdainfully before turning in anger to The Legend of Luna''s set. Kisa and Gilbert were currently doing another take for The Legend of Luna''s first scene. It was fall; the scene of leaves falling by the flowing riverplemented the parting atmosphere. To achieve the best visual effects, the director nned to shoot all of the drama scenes in live action. The weather was overcast. The willow trees swayed with the gentle breeze as the falling leaves drifted in the wind. The atmosphere was wonderful. However, Kisa simply could not get into the zone while facing Gilbert. All she could think about were the grudges she held against him. Meanwhile, Gilbert got into the zone very quickly. In no time, his eyes were filled with the sadness one had while parting with another. His sorrowful gaze was also exceptionally convincing. Even though he had only skimmed through his lines, he was able to breeze through them. Every single line that he said brimmed with wistfulness and sorrow. Moreover, his acting was so realistic that everyone spectating started to tear up. On the other hand, Kisa said her lines wrongly numerous times due to her nervousness; even her expressions were a mess. In the end, the director had to yell "cut". He turned to Kisa and chided, "Can you try harder? Do you see how good Mr. Kooper''s acting skills are? Letting him act alongside you is practically a waste." Chapter 289 Kissing On Set Chapter 289 Kissing On Set "I''m... I''m so sorry, sir." "You shouldn''t be apologizing to me but to Mr. Kooper. Goodness, you''re so infuriating," the director replied. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Then, he turned to Gilbert, "Do you want to go for another take?" "Let''s do it. I have faith in her abilities." Gilbert''s words were intended for Kisa. Kisa quietly tightened her arms by her side. ''I hate myself for being so useless. If he''s able to do such a good job at acting in front of me, why can''t I do the same? Since he''s able to be focused, why can''t I do the same?'' wondered Kisa. She felt determined once more. Then, she lifted her gaze to meet Gilbert, "Let''s do it." Gilbert smiled. His smile, coupled with the costume, made him look out of this world. Everyone around him shrieked in admiration; he looked so dazzlingly handsome it was as if he were a fallen angel. The director again adjusted the camera, "Scene one, action!" "Will you return?" the male lead gazed deeply at the female lead. Even though it was just acting, Kisa spaced out momentarily under Gilbert''s intense gaze. Regardless, Kisa quickly rposed herself. She gripped the bag in her hands tightly and said, "I probably won''t be returning. Time flies, so... It''s better for you to not wait for me." In the script, the female said this line with teary eyes. Kisa did a great job and instantly teared up. The male lead went in front of the female lead and stroked her hair. His husky yet gentle voice sounded determined, "Then I''ll go find you." "You''ll find me?" "Three years. Give me three years, and I''ll show up before you, " the male lead said. Then, he embraced and kissed her. Kisa was startled. The kiss scene she had with Roy was not real, but Gilbert went in for an actual kiss. Kisa felt her heart race. She rted her feelings to the character in the script and gently closed her eyes. Then, a sorrowful expression gradually appeared on her face. Perhaps he was adhering to the script, but the kiss Gilbert gave Kisa was gentle and long. It was completely different from his previous kisses, which were dominating. Kisa felt her heart beating faster and faster. She was afraid that she would lose herself in his gentle kiss, so she forced herself to rte her feelings to the script''s character. "Cut!" the director finally yelled. This time, the director did not throw a tantrum. Instead, he eximed happily, "Good job! How wonderful! You all did great for this scene." Kisa breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the director''s praise. When she lifted her head, her gaze was promptly met with Gilbert''s dark brown eyes. She felt her heart skip a beat. Gilbert shed her a small smile, "What did I tell you? Didn''t I say that you could do it?" Kisa turned away indifferently. ''Even if he''s genuinely helping me this time, I still won''t forgive all of the pain and humiliation he inflicted upon me,'' thought Kisa. Meanwhile, the director waspletely enamored with Gilbert. He praised Gilbert for being a gifted actor and wanted to make Gilbert the male lead of the drama. ''But is that even possible? Gilbert''s the CEO of GK Pictures. Him running over to a production crew under J & K Film Group and acting in a kiss scene was already unbelievable. How could he possibly agree to be the drama''s male lead? What''s more, he''s a busy CEO. Where would he find the time to act in a drama?'' Kisa wondered. To everyone''s surprise, Gilbert replied with a smile, "Naturally, I''d love to be the male lead in the drama. I''d like to be co-actors with Ms. Becker, the CEO of J & K Film Group. However, it''s a shame that she doesn''t agree." "That''s enough!" ''I don''t know why Gilbert is saying all this, and I also don''t know what the heck he''s trying to do,'' thought Kisa. Then, in front of everyone, she dragged him to a small hill near the set.

Gilbert smiled slightly at her, "I helped you, and this is how you repay me?" "You helped me?" Kisa sneered. She continued, "Haven''t you always been plotting my demise? You''re only helping me because you want to see me make a fool out of myself." Gilbert shrugged indifferently, "Whatever you say." Kisa gritted her teeth and said icily, "I don''t care what you''re nning, but the grudge between you and I will eventually be settled. Just you wait." All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Gilbert peered at the resentment in her eyes. Suddenly, he smiled sardonically. "Honestly, you bing an international superstar with the acting you exhibited earlier? Dream on." He drew closer to her and gazed at her beautiful face. Then, he snorted disdainfully, "Just look at you. What will you fight me with? Thepany Jensen gave you, J & K Film Group? Hah! You''re underestimating both me and GK Pictures." Kisa tightened her fists resting by her sides. Despite her harp nails digging into her palms, she did not feel any pain. She gritted her teeth and said slowly, "I''ll fight you with my life!" "Your life?" Gilbert could not help but scoff. "How many lives do you think a person can have? You managed to survive both times out of pure luck." Right after he finished his sentence, he reached out and fixed her hair which was messed up by the wind. ''Even though he''s gazing at me so affectionately and fixing my hair ever so gently, the wordsing out of his mouth are brimming with contempt and ridicule,'' thought Kisa. "I''m Gilbert Kooper, so I''m selective of my opponents. Judging from what I''ve seen, you''re still not cut out to be my opponent. If you want to fight me or take revenge, you''ll have to work hard and get stronger. What''s the point of relying on Jensen and Kohen''s help?" Kisa swatted his hand away in annoyance, "Just you wait. I''ll definitely take revenge on you by myself." Gilbert crossed his arms across his chest and chuckled lowly, "Sure, I''ll be waiting." In the evening, Jensen ced the dishes on the dining table after he finished cooking. He could not help but frown at the sight of Kisa still daydreaming in front of the window. She had been sitting in front of the window for three hours now. At first, Jensen figured that Kisa must be tired. However, it was now clear that she had something on her mind. He called Lea over. "Did something happen on the set today?" he asked. Lea shook her head out of reflex. "While Kisa was acting today, the director yelled cut many times. Regardless, Kisa managed to pull through in the end and even got praised by the director. Jensen asked solemnly, "Did anything else happen?" Lea shook her head again. Suddenly, she said, "Oh, that''s right. Both Goddess of My Adoration and The Legend of Luna''s film crews shot on the same set today." "So... She met Gilbert Kooper?" Lea nodded. "Not only that. Mr. Kooper helped Kisa with the first scene. She and Roy had to kiss in that scene, and they couldn''t nail the shot." Jensen pursed his lips, "Alright, I understand. Go get Kisa over for dinner." "Okay." Kisa only took a few bites of dinner before leaving the dining table and returning to her room. All she could hear were Gilbert''s words from today echoing in her ears. "How many lives do you think a person can have? You managed to survive both times out of pure luck." "You''re still not cut out to be my opponent." "What''s the point of relying on Jensen and Kohen''s help?" ''That''s right. There''s no point relying on the help of others if I don''t work hard myself,'' thought Kisa. She looked in the mirror and stared thoughtfully at the scar on her back. Her gaze was determined and cold. ''Gilbert Kooper, I''ll single-handedly make you regret your actions!'' thought Kisa again. That night, Kisa burned the midnight oil to analyze the script. She did so in order to memorize every single detail in the script. While she was on her way to the set the following day, she came to find that she and Gilbert co-acting had made it to the headlines. Rumors about them were flying everywhere. Chapter 291 Hes Just Like That as Well Chapter 291 He''s Just Like That as Well Madalyn angrily chucked the newspaper onto Gilbert, "Look at the mess you''ve caused." Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Gilbert picked up the newspaper. At a nce, he saw a picture of Kisa and him kissing. A sneaky smile crept up the corner of his lips. Davian saw Gilbert in a great mood and immediately asked, "Mr. Kooper, will we visit the film set again?" "You''re not allowed to go!" Madalyn furiously screamed out before Gilbert could answer. Gilbert skimmed through the contents of the newspaper and passed it to Davian, "Then we won''t. There is a lot of work to be done at thepany. As for the rumors, get the PR department to handle it." Upon hearing this, the anger faded from Madalyn''s face. However, Davian could not understand Gilbert''s course of action. ''Gilbert''s the one who made sure the scene between Kisa and him was publicized, after all. He should be the one who''s worried about this scandal the most.'' He could not figure out why Mr. Kooper would act so maniacally and rush to the set of ''The Legend of Luna'' and do a scene with Kisa. Did he do it out of amusement? However, he had to admit Gilbert was in a much better mood after going to the set yesterday. Remembering Gilbert''s gloom the previous few days brought chills down his spine. Davian wished Gilbert would visit the production set more often. During the morning, all media outlets spread rumors, saying that Gilbert and Kisa had rekindled their love for each other. They even spoke of the pair''s ns for remarriage and mending their rtionship. In the afternoon, the media suddenly changed their tune. They instead said that Gilbert had a scene with Kisa not because they were rekindling their rtionship, but that Gilbert did it for old times'' sake and took pity on her being stuck in a rut, so he had helped her pass that scene. Thus, Gilbert''s personality as a nice guy was established again. All manner of praises were given to him, such as being gracious, kind, sentimental, and many others. Due to this incident, some people even praised his acting skills and imed he was an acting genius. Upon reading the news articles, Kisa gave a scornfulugh. She knew that Gilbert did not help her out of the kindness of his heart. Helping her out of the blue yesterday was only a move to earn the media''s praise and solidify GK Pictures''s reputation. In the past, Gilbert wouldin that whatever she did would be filled with schemes. Now it seemed the same applied to him too. Lea furiously spoke while pointing at the articles on her phone, "Kisa, what the media is reporting is so infuriating. What do they mean by stuck in a rut? What do they mean by saying you looked so pitiful and stuck? As if you had no talent in acting. The way they write about this incident is so demeaning to you. Look at this; all thements at the bottom are negativements about you." She continued grumbling as she swiped her phone in anger. Kisa smiled coldly and spoke, "These words were not from the media, but from the PR department of GK Pictures." "But M. Kooper treated you so nicely yesterday. Why did he do this today...?" "Treated me nicely?" Kisaughed mockingly while stroking Lea''s head, "Lea, don''t judge a book by its cover, understand?" Lea nodded her head without fully understanding. Just then, the director ordered her to go do her third scene. Kisa spoke to Lea, "The sun will be scorching today. You don''t have to wait for me here. Find some cool shade to rest under." "Mhm. Go get ''em, Kisa," Lea said, cheering Kisa on. Kisa took a long and deep thought. After familiarizing herself with the script, she was starting to enter the zone upon starting her second scene. Roy also performed great today. Both of them were getting better at performing their lines together. A few scenes were finished smoothly before 3 o''clock in the afternoon. The director was so happy that he ended everyone''s shift early. However, while Kisa was preparing to go home, she could not find Lea anywhere despite walking everywhere. She would not even pick up Kisa''s calls. Upon reaching some shady trees by the river, she suddenly saw Cndina. Cndina acted suspiciously while keeping her head down as if she was guilty of something. She brushed her shoulders as she walked toward the production set.

Thank you Chapter 292 Was She the One Who Pushed You Into the Water? Chapter 292 Was She the One Who Pushed You Into the Water? "Stop right there!" Kisa shouted instinctively to Cndina. Cndina trembled all over as if she was about to do something terrible and took off running. Kisa furrowed her brows and quickly pulled her back. "Why are you running?" "I wasn''t running. You... Why did you grab me? Let me go, or I''ll scream for help." Kisa stared intensely at her, "Have you seen my assistant?" Cndina hastily shook her head, "Nope, I didn''t see anything." Kisa looked around suspiciously, and numerous ripples formed on the river''s surface caught her eye. The waves were huge, as if something had fallen in. Kisa''s felt her heart sink, and a bad feeling crept up. She stared daggers at Cndina, asking, "Did you push her into the river?" "No, I didn''t..." Cndina screamed. She broke loose from Kisa and ran away. A cold gaze shed in Kisa''s eyes, and she picked a rock and struck Cndina''s calves. Watching her fall to the ground in pain, Kisa spoke coldly to Cndina, " If my assistant really is in trouble, I won''t spare you." Finishing her sentence, she turned around and jumped into the river hastily. After a while, she dragged an unconscious Lea out of the river. Cndina thought Lea had already drowned. Her face filled with horror, " It wasn''t me... I didn''t push her. It wasn''t me..." Kisa didn''t have time to deal with her yet as she anxiously pinched Lea''s nose and hurriedly performed CPR topress her lungs. Seeing no reaction from Lea, Kisa was about to cry out from worry. Her voice trembled, " Lea, you need to wake up. Lea, you need to wake up..." "Heugh!" Suddenly, Lea spat out a mouthful of water and opened her eyes slowly, "Kisa..." "Thank god, you''re fine." Seeing Lea awaken, Kisa''s bundled-up nerves begin to loosen. She slumped down and sat on the floor idly. Cndina saw this and struggled to crawl away. Then she held her injured leg up and hobbled her way to the production set. Kisa nced coldly in Cndina''s direction and asked Lea," Was she the one who pushed you into the water?" Lea shook her head. She sat up and hurriedly spoke, " I don''t know who pushed me. Actually, I was washing my hands by the river. Suddenly, someone came behind me and gave me a hard shove. Then, I fell in. However, I saw Cndina standing by the riverbank when I struggled in the water." Kisa squinted her eyes coldly and made up her mind. As bossy as Cndina was, she wouldn''t have dared to touch Kisa''s assistant. At most, she would only have a little fun quarreling with them. It must have been Sharon. Kisa ground the back of her teeth furiously. She initially thought having Lea by her side would prevent Sharon from taking her revenge on Lea. However, she didn''t know that his incident would happen in the end. If it wasn''t for her timely arrival, both of them might have drowned Lea. The more she thought about it, the more scared she got. She regretfully looked at Lea, " It''s all my fault. I caused you to be under Sharon''s retaliation again and again." Lea smiled and shook her head, "It''s okay, Kisa. I''m still here, alive and well, aren''t I?" "If I waste by a bit, you would''ve lost your life," Kisa said anxiously and angrily, "No. This time, I will make Sharon pay the price." Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. After saying this, she dragged Lea to confront Sharon and make her pay. However, Lea suddenly thought of something and pulled at Kisa''s arm, saying in a worried tone... Chapter 293 She Dared To Hit Me; Ill Kill Her! Chapter 293 She Dared To Hit Me; I''ll Kill Her! "Kisa, let it go. I''m fine anyways. Let''s not make a big deal of this thing. We''ll just ignore them, that''s all. "Why wouldn''t I make a big deal out of it? What they just did was attempted murder," Kisa said fiercely. "If we don''t give them a little lesson this time, they''ll just harm us in even worse ways." If it had been a trivial issue, Kisa could have tolerated it. Besides, Sharon kept trying to backstab her all the time, but she still endured it. However, she could not bear having that woman hurt those that were closest to her. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . By now, the production crew for Goddess of My Adoration was still resting. Sharon was sitting under a huge parasol while sipping fruit juice that her assistant passed to her. Cndina, on the other hand, was sitting beside her and was speaking to her about something anxiously. Compared to the impatient and fearful expression on Cndina''s face, Sharon looked cool as a cucumber. Kisa focused her gaze and pulled Lea with her while walking toward them. "Oh, Kisa. Did something happen? Why are you so flustered? You should know that you''re the CEO of apany now," Sharon sarcastically jeered while lightly swirling the drink in her cup. Kisa stared back at her coldly and suddenly lifted her palm to deliver a single p to her. The p completely shocked Sharon. Her unnatural face was made even more distorted by the p. "That one p was for Lea. All things considered, you should never ever touch those closest to me, "Kisa spoke coldly while looking at Sharon''s twisted face. Lea, however, had a terrified look on her face and tried to tug at Kisa''s arms. Kisa patted the back of her hand in a soothing manner, "No need to be afraid. I''m right here." "Wench! I will kill you!" Sharon recovered from her daze. She threw her drink and proceeded to pounce on Kisa. Kisa''s heart sank, and she hurriedly dragged Lea while dodging to the side. Sharon''s pounce was in vain. In addition to her wearing a costume with a very long skirt, she identally stepped on the hem of her skirt. Her whole bodynded face-first on the ground embarrassingly. A bump grew on her stic surgery-riddled face. In an instant, her face was shown to be disfigured, filled with scratch marks, and her lips nted to the side. Cndina quickly helped her up, "Sharon, are... are you okay?" Sharon was furious to the point of insanity. She pointed at Kisa while screaming at Cndina, "Kill this wench! I order you to kill her!" Cndina shirked with much difficulty and spoke, "Ms. Sharon, don''t be like this. This is a production studio." "So, what if it is a production studio? She dared to hit me; I''ll kill her!" Sharon shrieked, and her screams quickly attracted the attention of many people. "All of you, quickly. Help teach this woman a lesson. She dared to hit me!" Sharon still thought she was the high and mighty international superstar that she used to be. She still thought everyone would cheer her on. But these days, Kisa''s status was much higher than hers even at her lowest. Everyone around them dared not take a step to the front and only looked on from the side as if watching a scene unfold. Instead, Arie asked out of instinct, "That was strange. Ms. Kisa was always an easy-going person. If everything was perfectly fine, why would she hit you then?" "You, shut up! Whose side are you on? Watch out, or I''ll tell Gilbert to retract your qualification as the second female lead, "Cndina immediately snapped at Arie in a fury. Arie had viewed Cndina and Sharon as an eyesore since the beginning. She replied in disdain, "If he wants to retract it, then let him. At worst, I''ll be a female lead on Ms. Kisa''s set. My career would be even better at Ms. Kisa''s than at GK Pictures." Finishing her sentence, she looked at Kisa with anticipation. Kisa did not let her down and replied earnestly, "We at J & K Film Group have always paid attention to the development of rising stars. We always give lots of opportunities to our newbies. Actors such as Arie, who have done background work for years and have the acting skills and experience, are fully qualified to be a female lead."

Thank you Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 29 Chapter 294 Ms. Kisa, You Want to Blatantly Rob Talent From GK Pictures? Chapter 294 Ms. Kisa, You Want to tantly Rob Talent From GK Pictures? Upon hearing this, Arie was ecstatic, and her words became bolder and more brazen when speaking to Sharon and Cndina, " A lot of people refused toe to GK Pictures, and it''s all because of people like you who act like divas, bullying newbies and boycotting the veterans. From what I see, GK Pictures will be disgraced by people like you!" "You...," Cndina was furious and red at her while sneering coldly, "You''d better remember what you just said. We''ll see how Mr. Kooper will punish you." Hearing her mention Mr. Kooper''s punishment, Arie felt a shiver of dread. Kisa turned and spoke to Arie, " Don''t be afraid. If GK Pictures wants to terminate your contract, we at J & K Film Group will wee you. That includes other newbies who never got the chance to disy their acting chops." Kisa continues, looking at the surrounding people while speaking wholeheartedly, " As long as you are willing toe, we at J & K Film Group will wee you anytime, any day." The surrounding people heard this and honestly were tempted by it. Then, a low and cold chuckle appeared nearby, " What is this? Ms. Kisa, you want to tantly rob talent from GK pictures?" Kisa''s heart shook, and she lifted her gaze to see Gilbert and Davian walking toward them. She immediately balled her fists to her side and stared at him coldly. Gilbert swiftly approached them. He smiled lightly while looking around, " Why? Are you all unsatisfied with how GK Pictures arranged your roles?" Everyone immediately felt scared to speak and proceeded to lower their heads. Cndina anxiously said, "It was Arie. She''s never been loyal. Sharon was even hit by Kisa, but Arie refused to take our side and ndered GK Pictures. She even encouraged everyone to defect to J & K Film Group." "I did not!" Arie scrambled to defend herself. Everyone else stayed silent, seemingly fearful of Gilbert. "Are you still denying it? Everyone here heard you." "I truly did not. I did not nder GK Pictures." Gilbert''s pair of dark eyes immediately looked at Arie''s figure. Arie shook and instinctively took two steps back, " Mr. Kooper, you''re a perceptive person. I really did not nder GK Pictures." "Then was it true you egged everyone to defect to J & K Film Group?" Arie instantly stopped talking. Gilbert gave a chuckle, his gaze cold. "I think you don''t want to be the second female lead. You thought going to J & K Film Group and being the female lead for their production would blow up your reputation. Heh, you''re too naive." "While still under contract, your move to defect to J & K Film Group from GK Pictures would only cause the audience to view you as ungrateful and disloyal. Do you think you can still be famous once your reputation has crumbled?" "No, Mr. Kooper. I beg of you to please give me another chance. I will dare not do this again. This part is crucial to me. Mr. Kooper, please..." N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Arie only just noticed the seriousness of the matter and nearly got down on her knees to Gilbert. Kisa could not hold it any longer and spoke, " Enough, Gilbert. This matter has nothing to do with her. The person who ndered GK pictures was me. I was the one who robbed the talent from GK Pictures. If you have the guts, thene at me." Gilbert turned around, smiling while scanning her, only to see her soaked and flustered. His handsome brow furrowed. Sharon spotted this minor detail and hurriedly jumped in front of Gilbert. She held his arm and sobbed in a sorry state, " Gilbert, that woman suddenly rushed here and pped me. She even pushed me to the ground. Look at my face. The schedule for filming Goddess of My Adoration has to be dyed, and it''s all her fault." Gilbert nced at her coldly and returned his gaze to Kisa''s state. "Why did you hit her?" Chapter 295 I Wouldnt Mind Making A Big Deal Out of This Chapter 295 I Wouldn''t Mind Making A Big Deal Out of This Of course, under these circumstances, Gilbert would forever be on Sharon''s side. He would always use that chilly tone to heckle her. As if every time something happened, she was the one in the wrong. In the past, she would be upset by this. Now, Kisa would not be upset, never again. She replied coldly, "Both of them almost drowned my assistant. Based on your judgment, should I hit her?" Gilbert''s eyebrows furrowed into a fierce faze, and he coldly stared at Sharon. Sharon panicked and hurriedly rebuked, "I did not. I am always here filming my scenes. Where would I find the time to murder your assistant? Besides, I have no quarrel with your assistant. Why would I do something like that to her?" "It''s because my assistant testified against you and your mother at the banquet that day. Hence, you held on to that hatred and always thought of doing something horrible to her." "You''re talking nonsense. I am an international superstar. Why would I hold a grudge against your little assistant? Stop trying to antagonize me." "Since you won''t admit it, I''ll just have to call the cops. I wouldn''t mind making a big deal out of this." Kisa spoke emotionlessly; her gaze cold and unforgiving. However, hearing the words "call the police" caused Cndina to panic. She pulled at Sharon''s sleeve, "Ms. Sharon, they''re going to call the cops." Gilbert coldly stared at Cndina, "What, are you worried?" Cndina was frightened and quickly shook her head, "No, no, no... I just think calling the cops would be bad for Sharon''s reputation." "If she wants to call the cops, then let her. Since I didn''t do anything, I have nothing to be afraid of," Sharon finished smugly. She also gave Lea a deep, meaningful gaze and spoke to Gilbert, "Gilbert, I truly did not harm her assistant. If you don''t believe me, ask her assistant yourself." Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert heard this and shifted his gaze to Lea. Kisa immediately pulled Lea to the front and spoke in a low voice, "Don''t be afraid. Just tell them the truth. Who did you see when you were struggling in the water?" Lea shakily drooped her head and clutched the edges of her soaked clothes. Sharon gave her a knowing smile and said, "Speak up then. Tell everyone, was I the one who pushed you into the water?" Everyone stared at Lea. Kisa assumed she was afraid of everyone''s gazes, so she spoke gently to her, "Lea, don''t be scared. Who harmed you? You can be honest, say it out loud in front of everyone." "I... I..." Lea bit her lower lip and whispered in a tiny voice, "I identally made myself fall into the water. No one tried to harm me." "What?" Kisa took two steps back and looked at her disappointingly, "Lea..." "Kisa, let''s just forget about it. It was not a big deal; we should just hurry back." "Heh!" Sharon instantlyughed smugly, "You see, she herself said she fell into the water by ident, but Kisa insisted on saying I pushed her and didn''t hesitate to rush here and give me a p. Don''t you think she''s crazy? I think she deliberately wants to nder me." "That''s true. I can''t believe the CEO of J & K Film Group would be this deceitful." "Tell me about it. And to think the media has been praising her so much recently." "Tsk tsk, how could such a malicious person run apany well? Someone even thought of going to her side to develop her career. What a joke. Who knows how you''d end up when all''s said and done?" "You''re right. Thankfully, we were not tempted by Kisa''s sweet-talking just now. GK Pictures is still better since we have a long-standing reputation." Everyone around them immediately started to band together to condemn Kisa. However, no one noticed that a camera was furiously taking pictures from a corner nearby.

Chapter 296 Youre Evil Is Truly Unmatched Chapter 296 You''re Evil Is Truly Unmatched "Gilbert, that woman has tried to nder me time and time again. Now she''s even using me of murder. This time, you have to defend me," Sharon held onto Gilbert''s arm and sobbed grievingly. Her current expression made Kisa feel like puking. Kisa spoke to Gilbert in a cold voice, "I didn''t nder her. However, I knew you wouldn''t believe me, and I''ve never hoped that you would believe me. In fact, it doesn''t matter if you believe me or not. I will not let this matter end this way. Since she won''t confess, I can only let the cops handle the situation." The indifference in Kisa''s eyes and her loss of trust in him filled Gilbert''s heart with rage. Especially when he remembered the look she gave to Jensen, full of faith and reliance. He was jealous to the point of losing his sanity. He grunted coldly, "To nder Sharon and wreck the reputation of GK Pictures, you really gave it your all. Your assistant even said that she fell into the water by herself. Yet you persisted. Kisa, your evil is truly unmatched." Her evil? Heh, in that case, in his eyes, she would always be the most wicked person of all. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Lea saw that the matter was getting serious, especially when Sharon would not stop giving her threatening res. Her heart was flustered, and she quickly pulled at Kisa. "Kisa, it''s okay. Let''s hurry back." "What exactly are you afraid of, Lea?" Kisa felt annoyed and frustrated at Lea''s timidness. Lea started to curl up and spoke softly, "I... I''m not afraid of anything. It''s just... It''s just that I really fell into the water by myself. It had nothing to do with anyone." Hearing Lea persists with this exnation, Kisa felt ultimately disappointed. Sharon was still crying up a storm, and surrounding her were the voices of people condemning Kisa Gilbert''s cold gaze was like sharp daggers, stripping away her flesh slowly. She felt dizziness in her head as her temples rang with pain. Why is it that even in this situation, she could not bring this vile woman to justice? She hated her own ipetence. She hated that Sharon always had Gilbert''s favor. She was even more disappointed at Lea''s fear of telling the truth. In the end, she was dragged back into the car by Lea. Before leaving, she could still see Gilbert''s cold, shadowy expression. Lea could not stop crying to her, "Kisa, sorry. Please don''t me me. I''m really scared..." Kisa leaned onto the car window and asked softly, "What are you afraid of?" "Sharon has Mr. Kooper''s protection. She has the entire Kooper family and GK Pictures as her support. What am Ipared to that? Without witnesses and any evidence, can we even handle her?" "If we don''t seed in bringing her downpletely, she''ll go to even more extreme measures to take revenge on me. Kisa, I''m terrified." Seeing Lea''s shaking, frail body, Kisa felt overwhelming sadness, hopelessness, and guilt. Lea''s words made sense. She had been too scared to tell the truth, with the fear of being exposed to Sharon''s viciousness and extreme vengeance. Kisa was currently the CEO of J & K Film Group and had Jensen''s protection. That meant she had nothing to fear from anyone, but it was not the same for Lea, so of course she was terrified. Despite all her angry words, Kisa still felt utterly useless in the end. She did not have the means to protect the ones closest to her and could not topple Gilbert. She was even less capable of making sure karma fell upon Sharon. Returning home, she locked herself in her room. Her whole body sunk into the sheets, yet she still felt cold. She pinched the back of her palm hard and gritted her teeth while repeating to herself, over and over again: ''You need to get stronger. You need to make Gilbert and Sharon pay for everything they''ve done.'' Chapter 297 She Hasnt Completely Given Up On That Man Chapter 297 She Hasn''t Completely Given Up On That Man Outside, Jensen leaned on the wall as he stared intently at the shut room door. Lea had already changed into a set of clean clothes. She quickly said to Jensen, "It''s my fault for making Rainie sad." "As long as the two of you are safe." Jensen''s voice was a little icy. Lea pursed her lips and said, "It''s just that Mr. Gilbert covers for Sharon way too much. I''m afraid Rainie might be totally done with him." ''That just mean that she hasn''tpletely given up on that man.'' "Just take good care of her." After saying that, he took a puff and walked out in silence. Lea only stared at his back suspiciously. ''Why does this gentle person suddenly had a menacing air about him? Scary'' ...... "Gilbert... what''s wrong with you?" Sharon, who was still pretending to be pitiful, was thrown onto the ground. She was stunned silly. Gilbert turned around and red coldly at her. "If you''d just keep to your usual petty tricks, I would have just closed one eye. But this time, you actually had the gall to try to get someone killed."ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . "I did not..." Sharon hurriedly knelt down as she cried while clinging onto his leg. "I did not do that. Kisa''s the one framing me, and her assistant even said that she was the one who fell into the water herself. Kisa wanted to take revenge on both you and I, that''s why she decided to frame me. I''m telling the truth..." Gilbert kicked her onto the ground, looking at her as if he was looking at literal garbage. "Do you think... I still think you''re a kind person?" Sharon was taken aback. "Gilbert... what do you mean?" "You think I don''t know the times you tried to frame Kisa?" Sharon shook her head in panic. "No I did not!" "Counting that time at the farm, you and your mother were scheming to frame her and Kelvin, right?" Sharon''s expression turned pale as she shuddered, yet she still continued to argue. "It''s not like that, Gilbert. You must not get fooled by that woman!" Gilbert looked at her coldly. "Davian, let Miss Sharon here know the results of your investigation." At this moment, Davian said with a straight face, "We''ve recently caught one of Anthony''s men. He said that he heard both you and Carolyn had setup an ambush near a derelict to knock both Kisa and Kelvin out, take their photos and send it to the media to destroy her reputation." Sharon''s face turned paler and paler. Gilbert took a puff and stared icily at her. "What? Still trying to find an excuse?" Sharon then mumbled, "So... so you were secretly investigating this." Gilbert let out a sneer. Back then, he did not want to believe Kisa would resort to such a lousy method just to retaliate against Sharon and Carolyn. With this investigation, it was discovered that it was Sharon and Carolyn''s scheme and they just boomeranged themselves in the end. He let out another ringed puff of smoke as he smiled coldly at Sharon. "You sure are ballsy, actually dragging Kelvin into this. Also, including that banquet, do you actually think I didn''t know that you were the one who got someone to take those photos and videos?" Looking at the man''s menacing gaze, Sharon limped onto the ground trembling. Even when all of her dirty deeds had been found out, she still held a trace of hope within her. "Since you... already found out, then why... why did you protect me?"

Thank you Chapter 298 A Tool to Light Her Fire Chapter 298 A Tool to Light Her Fire "You want to know?" Gilbert smiled a little, yet that smile sent a chill right down Sharon''s spine. She looked on with anticipation, "The reason you always protect me when I fight with Kisa is because you like me right? You still like me right, Gilbert?" "Hah!" Gilbert''s lips broke into a light smile, however Sharon felt her heart turning into ice. "The reason I protected you, did not let the media to cklist you, or the fact I didn''t kick you out of GK is for you to toy with Kisa. With her hating both you and me that much, she''s determined to seek vengeance against us. If you''re not around, then won''t her determination get halved? Where''s the fun in that? So, you''re nothing but a tool for me to light her fire, that''s what you are." "No!!!" Sharon suddenly cried out as she hugged herself and cried in disbelief. "Gilbert, I know you like me, you''re saying this to punish me, right? I won''t do this again! I''ll change! Gilbert, please don''t do this to me! Gilbert... I really, really love you..." "You can y your little games with her, the more you fight, the stronger she gets. But if you dare to drag anyone around me into this, or if you dare to hurt her or anyone around her, I will never forgive you." Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. "No, Gilbert, you won''t treat me like this, right? Gilbert..." She could not believe that she was just a tool Gilbert was using to toughen Kisa up. She could not at all believe that this man, despite his cursing and hating of Kisa, he was actually thinking about her. How could she suffer such an indignity, how can she not be consumed by hate? She cried bitterly at Gilbert, "That woman''s been doing bad things since she was a child. Did you forget that she set you up, forced you to marry her? It was her who hurt Grandma, it was her who hid Sara away. Have you forgotten all these? Why are you still treating her so nice?" "Her setting me up, hurting Grandma, hiding Sara away, those are all between me and her, and have nothing to do with you. So... how I want to treat her, is none of your business." He indeed really hated Kisa. To him, he is the only person in this world that can hurt that woman. Only he was worthy to recoup all of the debts that woman owed him. Sharon suddenly yelled at him. "If Grandma knew you were nning things out like this for that woman, she will definitely be disappointed. She''s the person that hurt Grandma. How can you still be so nice to her? How?" Gilbert coldly twitched his lips. "Davian, it''ste already. Send Miss Sharon back." "Yes, Mr. Gilbert." "Gilbert, I''m begging you...Don''t do this. What''s so good about that woman? She''s flighty and flippant, she set you up, and then seduced Jensen. She''s the one who had been doing all of the bad stuff, the person you should be heading is here, Gilbert..." Sharon grabbed onto Gilbert''s leg as she wailed. Davian dragged her away with all of his might toward the door. "Miss Sharon, please let Mr. Gilbert go..." Gilbert then sneered at her. "You better know your ce. Think carefully of what you should and should not do. Or else... I won''t even give you the privilege of being a tool." "No, Gilbert, no..." Sharon was still dragged to the door by Davian. The moment Davian opened the door, he saw Mrs. Kooper Sr. standing there with a furious expression on her face. Chapter 299 You Sure Have Made Plans for That Woman Chapter 299 You Sure Have Made ns for That Woman When Sharon saw Mrs. Kooper Sr. it was as if she saw a savior. She immediately rushed over to her side and cried bitterly, "Grandma, that Kisa''s a total rotten egg, a flighty slut yet Gilbert still love her like that while he ignores me, who love him too much. You must speak up for me, Grandma..." A look of disgust and annoyance shed past Mrs. Kooper Sr.''s eyes. But she still gracefully helped thetter up. "Don''t worry, I''ll take some sense into him." As she said that, she motioned for Davian to take the noisy woman out. After Sharon left, the entire manor fell silent. Mrs. Kooper Sr. nced at Gilbert, sneering as she held her walking stick. "You sure have made ns for that woman. Why? Afraid that she''ll lose her will to live?" Gilbert did not say anything and just flipped over the documents on the table. Mrs. Kooper Sr. snorted angrily. "You''re sure making a fool out of yourself. That woman is now happy with Jensen. She won''t need you to n things out for her." The word "happy" was a literal bomb and that sent his mood into an irritable swirl. But he could not lose his temper at his grandmother, so he mmed the document file shut to vent. Seeing him like that, Mrs. Kooper Sr was both furious and anxious, "You treat this woman like that, if one day she really wants me dead, what will you do then?" Gilbert''s hands on his knee immediately clenched tight. He looked at his grandmother and said with a cold, firm voice. "If she dares to want you dead, then I''ll fight her till the end." "Very well," Mrs. Kooper Sr. nodded as she snorted, "You better remember what you just said. If that were to happen someday, don''t you dare feel sorry and back off." As she said that, Mrs. Kooper Sr. left. Gilbert thrashed the documents off his table, his head writhing with distress and annoyance. "Alright, Miss Sharon. We''ve arrived at your ce. Please get out of the car." The moment Davian stopped the car, he immediately urged Sharon to get off. Sharon was still deep in her fantasies as she asked him, "Mr. Gilbert is saying all that to punish me because I almost ruined GK''s reputation, right? He actually still loves me, right?" Davian was speechless but he still smiled and said, "Yes, yes... Miss Sharon, you''re right about everything. Get down from the car, don''t let your family worry about you." As soon as Sharon got off the car, Davian immediately sped off. She was so pissed she gnashed her teeth. She was a proper international superstar. She had never suffered such a humiliation before, that an assistant like him would avoid her like the gue. ''Damn it all!'' ''It''s all because of that b*tch, Kisa.'' ''Heh, you want me to be a tool to strengthen Kisa? No way in hell!'' ''How can I, an international superstar, be a tool to hone that woman? No way!'' Sharon''s fingers bit into her palm and beneath the dim light, her eyes lit up with malice. Yet, just as she was about to walk into the yard, someone suddenly gave her a violent tug and mmed her against the wall. Reeling from the pain, Sharon screamed. Anthony simply snorted. "If you were only as capable as how you''d run your mouth." N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Seeing that the person grabbing onto her was Anthony, Sharon heaved a sigh of relief before a look of contempt appeared on her face. "Youugh at me, but how capable are you then?" "I''m not here to argue with you." Anthony''s eyestched onto her like a viper as he snorted.

Chapter 300 Being Threatened by Two Men Chapter 300 Being Threatened by Two Men "I remember I told you not to touch Lea before. Did you just ignored what I said?" When Sharon heard that she burst into a mockingughter. "Don''t you dare tell me you took a shine to that woman? Don''t you forget, she''s nothing but a lowly bar girl. Since when did your tastes be so poor?" "You also now that she''s a lowly woman and you think I''d actually take a shine on her?" "Then you..." Anthony let her go, patting off the creases on her shoulder sleeve as he gave her a thoughtful smile, "She''s still useful to me, so you better not touch her and spoil my ns." "Heh, what grand ns do you even have? Looks to me you cannot bear..." Just as the words left her mouth, the man''srge hands mped onto her neck. Anthony''s voice was as icy as a viper. "You better remember what I said. If I were to find out you are trying to harm that woman in any way, you will pay for it!" As he said that, he tossed the woman before him aside in disgust before throwing a stack of photos in front of her. "Don''t you ever say I did not help you take that Kisa Becker down. If you still cannot beat her this time, then that means you''re just useless." Sharon grabbed the photos on the ground as she red angrily at Anthony''s back. ''Why?!'' She was warned by two different men today, and both of them did so for another woman. She had always been the celebrity everyone had ced on a pedestal, and she had never suffered such a humiliation before. ''Damn it all!'' ''Kisa Becker! I will NOT be a tool to make you stronger! Just you wait! I''ll end you sooner orter!'' The night was cold. Jensen leaned by the window as he took a puff, his eyes staring out in a daze as a pall of sorrow lingered over his handsome brows. Mia hugged him from behind as she sniggered. "Did that girl hurt you again? Otherwise, you wouldn''t havee looking for me tonight." Jensen pushed away her hand as he turned and look at her. "I''ll book your return ticket tomorrow." Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Mia''s expression changed immediately as she frowned, "I''m not going back." Jensen''s expression turn dour. "This is not a ce you should stay." Mia let out a sneer. "Why can''t I stay here? Are you afraid the woman will find out about us? Or are you afraid she''ll mind about this?" "She have never minded either way." There was a trace of dejection in the man''s firm voice. Mia gritted her teeth as she mocked him, "It''s you who''s minding it." Jensen straightened his posture, his eyes looking at her became even more stern. "You need to head back tomorrow." "No, can''t do. I''ve already made arrangements for ke''s school enrollment here. He likes this ce." The moment ke''s name was mentioned, a touch of gentleness finally appeared across Jensen''s eyes. Mia quickly added. "Let ke and I stay here. I promise I won''t get in the way of your ns." Jensen frowned and looked at her for a good while before sighing, "Fine. Stay if you want then." As he said that, he snuffed out the cigarette butt and tossed it into the ashtray before walking out. Mia stared solemnly at his back, getting the feeling that he had a pall of sorrow and loneliness on him ever since that man got together with Kisa. The next day, Kisa overslept and it was Lea who woke her up. When she got up, she was wrecked by a biting headache, her body heating up in a fever. Seeing her condition, Lea said worriedly, "Rainie, are you unwell? How about we ask the director for a day off?" Chapter 301 Gilbert Is Truly Despicable Chapter 301 Gilbert Is Truly Despicable Kisa shook her head, "Hurry up! We''re going to bete. Let''s go to the set now." N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. ''I just started filming this show. I''m not doing well, and the director was initially doubtful about my ability. There''s no way I can ask for a day off and dy the shooting progress.'' Kisa took a nap against the car window on the way to the set, but she was still in bad condition. She felt light-headed and almost fell while getting out of the car. Fortunately, she and Lea reached the set on time. Kisa yed the main heroine, with lots of scenes. She barely had time to rest in the morning because she had to keep filming one scene after another. During lunch break, she didn''t even feel like eating, so she justid on her chair, exhausted. "Here, Kisa. Get some food. You haven''t eaten since this morning," Lea said. Kisa shook her head and just took a sip of water. ''I must have caught a cold from getting drenched yesterday in the rain. Although I''vepletely recovered from the illness, my body is still much weaker than before.'' Shey on the chair and took a break. Suddenly, she saw the newspaper next to her and took it over. Lea snatched it away before she could unfold it. Kisa was stunned, "What happened?" "N-Nothing. Kisa, aren''t you not feeling well? Get more rest while you can." Lea smiled with a strained and unnatural look. Kisa knew her well. Judging from her expression, something must have happened. Kisa''s gaze fell on the newspaper. She said solemnly, "Give me the newspaper." "Kisa¡­" "Give it to me!" Lea pursed her lips. She had no choice but to hand the newspaper to her. Kisa unfolded the newspaper immediately after she took over. She sobered instantly from the dizziness with just a nce. "Hmph, Gilbert is truly despicable!" "Kisa, are you okay?" Kisa closed her eyes and shook her head. She crumpled the newspaper up into a ball bitterly. Kisa got off work by 3 o''clock in the afternoon because the shooting went smoothly. She let Lea head back home while she went to the GK International Building after work. In the GK Pictures CEO''s office, Gilbert stared at the newspaper on the table. He asked Davian. "Did you find out who did this?" "Yes. It was all done by the assistant manager from the PR department. He asked someone to take all these photos and videos, and then sold them to the media." "And did he also make the media write this?" Davian nodded. Gilbert sneered and said, "Fire him." "What?!" Davian was shocked. "Mr. Kooper, isn''t what he did to GK''s advantage? Look, everyone has been on our side since the news came out today. In fact, both Ms. Becker and J & K Film Group were badly condemned by the media." Gilbert looked up and stared at him coldly. A cold shiver ran over Davian. He said quickly, "Yes sir, understood. I''m going to get him out of here now." However, at this point, the secretary''s call came in. "Mr. Kooper, Ms. Becker from J & K Film Group is looking for you and waiting outside now. Do you want to meet her?" Gilbert''s sight fell on the newspaper again. He said coolly, "I don''t want to meet her. Tell her to leave." "But¡­" "Don''t you understand what I''m saying?" "Understood, Mr. Kooper." Davian looked at Gilbert''s gloomy face and thought, ''He was so mad about this headline. Is it because he feels bad for Kisa being scolded? How could he avoid meeting Kisa when she came to him? Tsk, I just can''t understand. It''s so hard to figure out what he''s thinking.'' "My apologies, Ms. Becker, Mr. Kooper isn''t avable right now. Please visit next time, or you can make an appointment for your next visit." Right after the secretary finished speaking, Kisa saw Daviane out of the CEO''s office.

Thank you Chapter 302 Are You That Desperate To See Me? Chapter 302 Are You That Desperate To See Me? Davian acted like he did not see her and walked out of the office quickly. Kisa stopped him immediately. "Is Gilbert inside?" "No, he''s not in." Davian shook his head hard. Kisa asked suspected, "So why were youing out from there?" "C-Can''t I just go in to take some documents?" Davian left with his head down after he finished. Kisa blocked in front of him again. "We signed a contract before, you¡­" ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . "Hey, you are the CEO of J & K Film Group, which is the nemesis of GK now. I''m faithful to Mr. Kooper. So, our contract is invalid. I''ll never do anything for you ever again." Davian ignored her and rushed out after he finished. Kisa was filled with rage, but still asked the secretary, "Can I stay here and wait for Mr. Kooper to return?" The secretary was in a dilemma. "That¡­should be fine." The wife of GK Pictures''s CEO had suddenly be the CEO of the rivalpany. It was hard for the secretary to get used to it, but she tried her best to show respect when she was talking to Kisa. Kisa''s head was getting heavier. She felt sick and had not eaten any food for the whole day. She was lethargic, but she felt furious when she thought of the content of the newspaper. ''No matter what, I have to get an exnation from Gilbert today!'' She leaned over the couch in the break room and felt drowsy as time passed. ''This ce is right in front of the entrance to his office. I''ll definitely see Gilbert if he passes by.'' After a long wait, it was past working hours. Many people passed through the door with bags or documents. The secretary was stunned for a while when she saw Kisa. "Ms. Becker, you''re still waiting here?" "Yes, I have something to talk about with Mr. Kooper." The secretary nced at the CEO''s office unconsciously. She said to Kisa, "You can''t keep waiting here. How about you go home today ande again next time?" "It''s okay. I''ll wait a little longer." The secretary pursed her lips resignedly. "Okay, we''ll leave now. Please keep an eye on the time. All the entrances into the building will be closed at 9 o'' clock." "Sure. Thank you." Everyone left quickly after working hours. Kisa was feeling unwell. She was weak and hungry. She desperately wanted to get some food to recharge her energy, but she was worried that Gilbert would leave while she wasn''t around. She forced herself to stay and wait. She pinched the back of her hand hard to make herself awake when she was about to fall asleep. Soon, night fell outside. Kisa looked at the time. It was an hour before 9 pm. She gritted her teeth, stood up, and staggered out of the break room. There was no one around. She walked straight to the CEO''s office and knocked on the door. "Come in." At first, she thought Gilbert would not give her any response. She did not expect a deep voice toe out all of a sudden. She pinched her palm to make up her mind. Then she opened the door in front of her. She saw Gilbert leaning against the chair and staring at her with a sneer as the door opened. "What''s wrong? Are you that desperate to see me? You even waited for so long outside my office." Kisa tried to concentrate and walked to him with a cold face. "Have you¡­ seen the newspaper today?" "Of course!" Gilbert chuckled and pushed the newspaper to her. "Do you want to have a look again? The content is amazing!" "You''re despicable!" Kisa shouted angrily. She lifted her hand, reached across the table, and pped his face. Chapter 303 Do You Want to Slap Me? Chapter 303 Do You Want to p Me? Kisa''s delicate wrist was grabbed by Gilbert before her palm could touch him. Gilbert stared at her angry face and chuckled casually, "Why? Do you just want to p me after waiting for a long time?" Kisa champed with rage. She wanted to draw her hand away from his grasp, but Gilbert had no intention of letting go. He even tugged maliciously. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Kisa was already weak. She bumped into his arms across the table immediately when he tugged her. His chest was hard. Kisa felt dizzy after the bump. Gilbert sneered above her head, "You''re so weak. How could you fight with me?" Kisa gritted her teeth and struggled to get out of his arms. She looked at him angrily. "You stick up for Sharon. It''s okay that you don''t believe she wanted to kill my assistant. But I didn''t expect you to publish this in the newspaper, and you shifted the me to J & K Film Group by saying we are ndering GK''s celebrities. Humph! Gilbert, why didn''t I figure out you were such a treacherous person before?" The newspaper today was reporting what had happened on the set yesterday. The PR department of GK announced to the media that Kisa, the CEO of J & K Film Group, and her assistant had framed Sharon. There were plenty of photos besides the content. The photo in which Kisa pped Sharon was the most eye-catching photo. ''I never knew Gilbert was such a backstabber. He argued with me on the set yesterday and assigned someone to take these photos secretly to shift the me to me.'' The photos were provided by the PR department of GK. They were the ones who reported these specks of dirt to the media. With GK''s status, reputation, and those photos, the majority of the audience stands on their side. Everyone scolded Kisa as evil and insidious on the Inte since the newspaper was published. The more she was scolded, the more it brought out the audience''s sympathy for Sharon. Thus, Sharon, whose reputation and name had been destroyed previously, became the delicate, harmless, and pitiful victim because of this incident. Suddenly, Sharon''s poprity returned slowly. Her fame rose again. Netizens felt sorry for Sharon and showed her support, but they scolded Kisa and J & K Film Group with all kinds of nasty words. ''I really hate this man in front of me. The reputation and public persona Jensen and Kohen created for me have almost copsed due to this incident.'' Gilbert saw her champed with rage. He could not help but chuckle, "You said I''m treacherous, but I just used amon method." He walked up to her and smiled gently. "You''re mypetitor. I think¡­ this is a good method to deal withpetitors." "But the fact is Sharon wanted to kill my assistant. This news has distorted the facts and disregarded a human life!" "Ha-ha," sneered Gilbert. "Do you think there''s right or wrong when dealing with the business?" Kisa red at him. Gilbert leaned on the desk with a cold smile and a hint of mockery. "You''re still too naive. What if it wasn''t done by me, but by other rivalpanies? Would you try to reason with them? "You can say that I protect Sharon or spun the me on you. But think of it, I''m the CEO of GK, and Sharon is a celebrity in mypany. Shouldn''t I protect her? "And you are mypetitor. Are there any issues when I used this incident to break you down?" Kisa grabbed the edge of the desk hard. She was unable to speak a word. Gilbert took over the newspaper with his backhand and looked at it. He smiled at her and said, "This is a lesson for you. Never think about arguing with others. Don''t care about the inferiority of those methods when you have been taken advantage of by others. Winning is more important, understand?" He casually threw the newspaper to her after speaking.

Thank you Chapter 304 I Appreciated the Lesson Chapter 304 I Appreciated the Lesson The newspaper fell on the ground. The first thing Kisa saw was she pped Sharon with a cold expression. ''I just realized I was as pure as Gilbert said. I was full of enthusiasm and anger. But I only knew to ask for an exnation from others or even beat them when encountering such a thing. I never think of why they should give me an exnation. ''Was it because he is Gilbert? That''s why I felt mad and aggrieved. I always think he should give me a justification or an exnation. But who am I to Gilbert? Why must he give me a justification or an exnation? ''As he said, would I rush to others angrily and ask for an exnation if it did by someone else? ''Ha-ha. It''s ridiculous to think about it.'' Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Kisa raised her eyes and looked at Gilbert. Sheughed at herself and said, "You''re right. I appreciated the lesson." She hatred his ruthlessness and despised his treacherous, mischievous, and what he did. But she had to admit that what he said was the truth. Thepetition in business was always cruelest. People always only put their attention to the result. How much of them cared about the process or the methods theypete for? ''It was my fault. I shouldn''t havee to him.'' "I''m sorry for bothering you." Kisa did not look at him again. She just walked out quietly after speaking with gritted her teeth. ''I''m the victim. I''m here to get an exnation from him. But now I felt how ridiculous and ironic this trip was. ''I still don''t understand the rules ofpetition in the business. How could I fight with him? I said I could fight him with my life before. But now I also think it''s ridiculous and stupid.'' Kisa felt hurt, and her steps were even more unstable. She rubbed her eyes and walked out quickly. Suddenly, she went nk and passed out just as she walked to the door of the CEO''s office. She seemed to hear Gilbert calling her anxiously in the blur. ''Huh? Anxious? I think I might have hallucinated.'' The Case family. "Hahaha! Sharon, have you read today''s newspaper? Look at thements on your mobile phone. She was scolded miserably byizens." Carolyn swiped her phone with excitement on her face. Sharon cracked the sunflower seeds with an unhappy expression. Carolyn nced at her and asked doubtfully, "Sharon, what''s wrong with you? This incident is an advantage for you. Look! Your poprity is back, and more audiences prefer you. Why are you still unhappy?" "You can''t understand!" Sharon took a sip of her drink angrily. Carolyn really did not understand. "Sharon, what''s wrong with you? Look, Mr. Kooper still cares for you. He always protects you. He even spoke out to fight for you and break Kisa down hard this time. I think Mr. Kooper really loves you. He will marry you anyway." "Stop it!" It was fine when Carolyn did not mention Gilbert. But Sharon''s face was distorted with anger when she talked about Gilbert. "Love me? He only loves Kisa! Only Kisa!" Sharon gritted her teeth and overturned the coffee table in front of her. She said viciously, "I''m unwilling to be an instrument! I would never be an instrument for her achievement! Absolutely not!" Kisa woke up the following noon. Chapter 305 She Was On Gilberts Bed Chapter 305 She Was On Gilbert''s Bed The first person Kisa saw when opened her eyes was Kelvin. Kelvin wore a white coat, hand in his pocket, and leanedid-back at the window. "How long has it been since youst came here? I can''t believe you be my patient again." Kisa looked around the room and realized it was the Kooper residence. She felt that the nket on her reeked of Gilbert. Kisa removed it and got out of bed without hesitation. She staggered to her feet before standing upright. Kelvin looked at her with no means of helping and sneered, "You are recovered, but your body is still weak. You bettery down." ''How could Iy down on Gilbert''s bed?'' Kisa thought. "Thanks for saving me," Kisa said and walked out of the room, every second there was torture to her. Just as she walked to the door, two kids bumped into her, nearly tumbling her. She held onto the door frame and saw that it was Ada and Andrew. She missed them a lot as it had been a while since she saw them. Kisa''s facial expression turned gentle. "Hi, you guys." "Ma''am, you''re finally back! Ada and I missed you!" Andrew clung to her and refused to let go. While Ada sobbed in her arms. "Ma''am, don''t leave anymore since you''re back." The adoration from the kids made Kisa feel conflicted. She patted both their heads. "I have some things to attend to. I can''t stay here. " Andrew shook his head vigorously. "You can still stay here even if you have things to do. Don''t leave!" The kids hugged her tightly as if they were trying to prevent her from escaping. After all, she had left unannounced thest time due to multiple reasons. Andrew''s little brows furrowed. He gave a small huffed, "Was it great-grandmother who told you to leave? I''ll reason with her!" "Come back!" Kisa hurriedly held Andrew, "It wasn''t your great-grandmother. It''s just that I''m busy. You shouldn''t me her, nor listen to what other people say." No matter how things end up between Madalyn and Kisa, Kisa would not want the kids to resent their great-grandmother at such a young age. "I didn''t listen to what other people say. I''m just angry when I hear great-grandmother and Aunty Sharon bad-mouths you." "Oh, is that true?" Kisa was not angry. She touched his small face and said, "It''s ok to let them bad-mouth me. Just pretend that you never heard it. Don''t get yourself enraged by this. Do you understand?" "Alright, I''ll listen to you." "Hmph!" At that moment, Kisa heard a snort from the corridor. Kisa looked over and saw Madalyn standing nearby with a stick. No matter how much Madalyn despised her, Kisa could not treat her coldly and heartlessly due to Madalyn''s past kindness toward her. Kisa looked at the kids. "I have to go now. I''lle back next time to visit you." "Don''t go!"ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . "No. Waaaa, you are lying to us!" When Kisa had no idea how to reject the kids, Madalyn snorted at her. "You could stay for lunch since they like you so much." Kisa subconsciously wanted to reject the offer when she heard Kelvin titter. "Nice, then I won''t be embarrassed about the free meal." Kisa was speechless. ''All he cares is about food.'' However, Kisa was stunned when she arrived downstairs.

Thank you Chapter 306 Gilbert Cooked Chapter 306 Gilbert Cooked Kisa saw Gilbert walk out of the kitchen with an apron on him. He seemed unperturbed when he held a dish in his hand and put it on the dining table. Kisa looked in the same direction and discovered that the dining table was filled with different types of dishes. The food seemed appetizing. She furrowed her brows, unable to believe that the dishes were prepared by Gilbert. She remembered he had not known how to cook. "Woah, Gilbert. I rarely see you cook," Kelvin said while he nced at Kisa meaningfully, "Thanks to you, I got the chance to taste his cooking. It''s very umon to see Gilbert cook. I''m going to eat moreter." Gilbert did not spare them a nce and took off his apron. "Alright, let''s eat." Kelvin smiled and helped Madalyn to her seat while Andrew and Ada dragged Kisa to the table. Just as Gilbert was about to take a seat, Andrew and Ada stopped him and pulled him to Kisa''s side. Kisa slightly frowned. ''What are these two doing?'' The corner of Gilbert''s lips rose subtly. Andrew and Ada sat beside Gilbert and Kisa respectively and sandwiched them. Kelvin muffled augh. "Andrew, Ada, are you two hoping that Kisa and your dad get together?" The two kids nodded their heads at the same time. Kisa was a little embarrassed while Gilbert remained indifferent. Madalyn, however, had a stern and gloomy-looking face. "Alright, that''s it. Let''s eat." Andrew picked up a pork rib, put it in Kisa''s bowl, and smiled affectionately, "Ma''am, this pork rib was specially made for you by my dad. You have to try some!" Andrew thought to himself, ''Uncle Kelvin said if we could bring them together, Ma''am could be our mom. That''s awesome!'' ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Kisa smiled awkwardly. ''Why would Gilbert make pork ribs for me, it''s obviously a random dish.'' As if what Andrew said was not enough, Ada added, "Ma''am, Daddy really cares about you. I have never seen him cook before, but he cooked so many dishes today since you came." Kisa let out an ufortableugh. Her expression was as stiff as ever. ''What did Ada mean by Gilbert caring for me and that he cooked just for me? Anyone who hears it will think that it''s a joke.'' Kelvin looked at Gilbert with bright eyes. "When did you learn to cook? I''m pretty sure you didn''t even know how to turn on the stovest time," Kelvin said while he scooped the seafood soup. Gilbert leisurely drank his wine and said, "I learned it today." "Woah, that''s amazing. The food looks delicious, I''ll definitely eat more." Kelvin started to drink the seafood soup unceremoniously. His brows furrowed the next second and he puffed out his cheeks like he was going to puke. Gilbert watched him calmly. "How is it? Is it nice?" Kelvin made a whining sound and rushed to the toilet. Kisa nkly looked at the seafood soup. ''This¡­'' Kelvin left the bathroom with a gloomy face, "It''s disgusting. I have never drunk such horrible soup before. I rinsed my mouth twice, but the taste still lingers within. Yuck." "Is that so?" Gilbert said while he instructed the maids to remove the soup. After this incident, no one dared to pick up the food. Kisa was actually very hungry, but her stomach hurt more while inhaling the food''s smell. ''Even Kelvin can''t handle the taste, it just shows how horrible the food is. Rather than sitting here and doing nothing, I should head out and eat. I''ll be aughing stock if I fainted here due tock of energy.'' As Kisa thought of that, she wanted to find an excuse to leave the ce. Chapter 307 Gilbert Tested Out The Food For Her Chapter 307 Gilbert Tested Out The Food For Her "Hey¡­ I remembered that I had an undone scene. I have to go now." As Kisa was talking, she realized she had received no news from the crew today. As the female lead, she should have had a lot of scenes to do, but her phone was quiet today. Moreover, Jensen and Lea did not call her even after she had been gone for a day. Just as she was about to leave, Gilbert said indifferently, "I informed your crew that you''re not going today as you''re sick." Andrew was the happiest with the news. He quickly pulled Kisa back to her seat. Kisa smiled awkwardly. "I-I should go home. My friends must be worried about me." "Your friends?" Gilbert sneered. "You''re talking about Jensen and your assistant, right? I have informed them about your situation too." "Woah, Ma''am. Look at Daddy being so good to you!" Andrew kept praising Gilbert, "Daddy had never been so caring to anyone else. You''re the first, Ma''am!" N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Upon hearing the kids praising Gilbert, Kisa felt chills in her heart. The worst thing was that she could not exin to the kids as the kids would not understand. Gilbert did not bother to exin either. Madalyn was furious, but she would not lose her temper toward her precious great-grandchildren. Andrew suddenly thought of something."Ma''am must be hungry, Daddy¡­" Kisa was rigid with embarrassment. ''Was I so obvious about being hungry that even a child figured it out?'' Andrew said again, "It''s toote for the maids to cook again. Daddy, there must be a few nice dishes from the many dishes you cooked. Why don''t you test and find out the good ones for ma''am?" "Alright," Gilbert nodded with a warm smile like he was the best dad who would do anything for his kids. Ada pped her hands andplemented Gilbert. "Ma''am, daddy is so good to you. He is even willing to try the food for you." The kids sounded like Kisa was Gilbert''s sweetheart. Although Kisa felt embarrassed, she took no offense at the children''s babbles. Madalyn smashed her cutleries on the table to express her anger. "What good has she done to make Gilbert try the dishes for her?" Andrew pouted his mouth and puffed his cheeks, saying, "Ma''am is the best. Daddy can do that for her." Madalyn was filled with rage, but she would not lose her cool toward her dear Andrew. She could only curse in her heart when she thought about the connection between Kisa and the kids. ''This woman didn''t even spend time with the kids, but the kids had already thought the world of her. This is absolutely annoying.'' Everyone ignored Madalyn''s displeasure. Kelvin stared intensely at Gilbert who was trying out the food. Gilbert tried a few that were not bad and put them in Kisa''s bowl. He looked ustomed to it as if he had been doing that often. But the truth was, this was the first time he ever did. It was rather ironic as it was done at the kids'' request. "Ma''am, Daddy has already tried out the food. The ones he gave you must be good. Try it out!" Kisa looked at the bowl full of food and said with a hint of mockery, ''I should thank Andrew and Ada for this once-in-a-lifetime service from Gilbert.'' Kisa was hungry. She stopped overthinking and started to eat after suppressing her thoughts. No one noticed Gilbert''s smile. At that moment, Andrew spoke to Kisa.

Chapter 308 They Are Not My Children Chapter 308 They Are Not My Children Ma''am, could you pick us up from kindergarten tomorrow?" Kisa was stunned at Andrew''s sudden request. Kisa noticed Madalyn''s irritated expression and said to Andrew, "I''m sorry. I''m really busy these days. I don''t think I''ll have the time to pick you up." Andrew''s eyes dimmed. Ada, the crybaby, instantly pouted and cried. "Daddy said Ma''am get off work early every day. You don''t want to pick us up. Is it because you hate us?" "Emm¡­" Kisa could no longer figure Gilbert out. ''He even told the kids my schedule?!'' The moment Ada started to cry, Madalyn put down her cutlery and poured scorn on Kisa. "It''s your honor when the kids ask you to pick them up. Others will be happy to ept it if they are given the chance. Carrot or stick, it''s your pick!" Kisa insinuated in her heart, ''She must be referring to Sharon.'' At this moment, Gilbert gave Kisa a half smile, "I''m aware that that news is unfavorable to your company. When J & K Film Group fails to beat GK Pictures in business, it only means yourpany''s ability is not at its best. "I hope you won''t be hostile toward my children because of this. You can get revenge on me however you want in business. But if you take anger out on my kids when you can''t defeat me. Then¡­" "I''m not!" Kisa was enraged upon hearing this, "Not everyone is as narrow-minded as you, who will abuse power over personal enmity!" "Oh really¡­" Gilbert nodded his head and smirked, "If you''re so broad-minded, why can''t you ept their little request?" "Wh-Why should I¡­" Kisa was flustered and exasperated. She held back as she was about to say, ''Why should I promise them, they''re not even my kids.'' when she saw Ada''s teary eyes. The kids liked her, and she sincerely liked them too. ''No matter how much hatred there is between Gilbert and me, I won''t hurt the kids.'' Kisa suppressed her anger and ignored Gilbert. She looked tenderly at Ada. "Alright, I''ll promise to pick you up from kindergarten if I''m off work early tomorrow." Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. "Okay." Ada smiled through tears immediately. The girl''s smiling face had Kisa distracted briefly. She felt that it was rather a familiar face at that moment. The meal was unpleasant, but Kisa managed to keep herself fed. As she was about to leave, she suddenly saw Jensen in the courtyard outside. Jensen was leaning on the car smoking. He must have been waiting for a while since there were quite some smoke butts on the floor. A sh of awkwardness crossed Madalyn''s face when Madalyn saw him. She smiled at Jensen, "Jensen, you''re back. Why don''t youe in for a while?" Jensen cracked a slight smile. "No thanks, I''m here to pick up Kisa." Andrew and Ada had insisted Gilbert send Kisa back. But since Jensen was here, Kisa did not need the ride now. Kisa said to Gilbert, "I''ll go back with Jensen now since he''s here." Gilbert''s eyes dimmed but he scoffed, "Good, I had no means of sending you back in the first ce." Chapter 309 You Are Going To Make Her Angry Someday Chapter 309 You Are Going To Make Her Angry Someday Kisa finally remembered how unlikable this man was. ''Things like these should be kept in the heart. Why did he have to say it out loud?'' Kisa snickered at him, "Oh my. It must be a hard decision for you just now." Andrew and Ada quickly pulled Kisa and spoke up for Gilbert when they saw that things were going south. "Ma''am, that''s just the way he talks. Don''t take his words seriously." "That''s right. Daddy wanted to send you back, but he just likes to make people angry." Kisa was speechless. It really was effortless for these two topliment Gilbert in front of her.

ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . "Don''t forget to pick us up tomorrow." Andrew and Ada looked at Kisa with anticipation. Kisa nodded. "I''ll remember." Kisa then walked toward Jensen. Jensen had long put out his cigarette. He gave Gilbert a half smile. "Thank you once again for taking care of her." Gilbert did not like how Jensen talked as if Gilbert was an outsider and Kisa was Jensen''s girlfriend. He snorted without saying a word and went back into the house. Andrew and Ada followed up in a hurry. "Daddy, it''s not nice to talk to Ma''am like that. You''re going to scare her away one day." "How do you think I should talk to her then, kids?" Gilbert said with an incredulousugh. ''I think I did enough for today. I cooked and tested out the food for her. What more do they want me to do? ''Besides, that woman had always been the sinner. She should be thankful that I didn''t make a fuss. I was so nice to her today, but she was not touched by a single bit. Yet her eyes were fixed on Jensen once he arrived.'' The more Gilbert thought of it, the angrier he became. He felt the irony upon looking at the table full of food. Ada sat on hisp and said with a serious tone, "Daddy, you have to be like the gentleman outside. Ma''am would definitely like you if you talk gently and give warm smiles." Gilbert''s mood was already gloomy, but he felt even more distressed after what Ada said. ''Ada''s words practically mean Jensen is more charming, especially toward women. Hmph, the gentleman you say¡­'' Gilbert red at Ada. "He is your uncle. Call him Uncle Jensen next time, do you understand?" "Uncle Jensen?" Ada looked at Andrew with confusion. Andrew shook his head thinking, "Is Uncle Jensen your brother? Why have we never met him before?" Gilbert was in a horrible mood, he went up the stairs in a huff without exining to the kids. Ada frowned behind him, unhappy that her father failed to meet her expectations. "Daddy, there is no way ma''am is going to like you if you keep behaving this way." Like an arrow shot through his heart, Ada''s words hit a nerve in him. Gilbert sneered angrily, but he could not lose his temper toward the kids, so he quickly ran up the stairs. Ada looked at Andrew in fury. Andrew shrugged with nothing to say, "Daddy is a blockhead. He can''t be taught anymore." "Then what are we going to do? What If Ma''am is taken by Uncle Jensenter on?"

Thank you Chapter 310 Women Like Guys Like Jensen Chapter 310 Women Like Guys Like Jensen "Hmm¡­" Andrew thought for a while. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head. "I have an idea," he said. "Tomorrow, after school, we¡­" he leaned into Ada''s ears and continued. Outside the yard, Jensen was about to get into the car when Madalyn suddenly called out to him, "C- Come for dinner when you have the time, Jensen." "Alright," he replied and proceeded to get into the car. Madalyn had aplex and sad look on her face as she watched him drive away. She knew she would never hear him affectionately call her "grandma" again. His reply was just a form of pleasantry, something people say. She knew that in the end, she had lost her grandson. At that moment, she had doubts about whether she had done the right thing back then. Upstairs, Gilbert stared intently at the car that was speeding away while he held his fists tightly. Jensen had opened the door for Kisa and even put his hand in between her head and the car frame to ensure she would not bump her head. ''Looking back, I''ve never treated that woman with such care and consideration before. Ada is right. Women like guys like Jensen¡ªgentle, caring, and romantic. That woman is no exception, but I''m still mad at what she did. So no matter how much she likes Jensen and hates me, I am not giving up. I''ll never let her go,'' Gilbert thought. In the car, Jensen focused on driving and did not say a word. He was rarely so quiet when they were together. Kisa nced at him and said in a low voice, "I''m sorry." "Why are you apologizing?" Jensen chuckled and asked. Hisugh sounded gentle, but Kisa could not hear the softness behind it. She pursed her lips and said, "I let my emotions get the best of me that day, and I pped Sharon across the face. Gilbert and GK Pictures saw it as an advantage to bite back, which greatly cost J&K Film Group their reputation. I¡­" "It''s no big deal," Jensen replied. His tone was gentle, as always. It was as if he would never lose his temper with her. "I have allowed the public rtions department to deal with the matter. Even though you and J&K Film Group''s reputation have yet to be fully restored, they are in much better condition whenpared to that day. Moreover, fans usually forget about these things. Once you finish filming the show, the fans will see your acting skills and change their opinions of you. So all you have to do next is rx, shoot the show well, and leave the rest to me." "Okay," Kisa nodded while Jensen continued focusing on driving. Kisa stared at his perfect profile and felt a little guilty. ''This man has always spared no effort in helping me. He has paved the way for me and even used his connections to make me popr. But in the end, I still failed him.'' Kisa clenched her fist and looked out the window, feeling upset. "Don''t beat yourself up about it, okay? Sharon bullied you guys and even wanted to kill you. Anyone would be angry in your shoes." "Huh? Oh, I''m not beating myself up," Kisa hurriedly replied with a smile. ''This man is so thoughtful. If Gilbert were half as caring as him, we wouldn''t be in this ce.'' Early the next morning, Kisa went to the set feeling energized. When she and Lea stepped out of the estate, an unknown object suddenly flew toward her.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Thank you Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 321 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 321 Chapter 321 Gilbert¡¯s Text Message to Her He was looking at Kisa, but what he said was aimed at the investors. ¡°Kisa has been embroiled in bad publicity nowadays. Just this morning, someone even pelted her with eggs and vegetables. Her personal problems are dragging down the J & K Film Group¡¯s reputation with her. Are you guys sure you want to work with her?¡± Mr. Russell looked at the other investors with hesitation. The other investors were also unsure of what to do. Kisa shot an icy nce at Gilbert and said to the investors, ¡°It is true that my and the J & K Film Group¡¯s reputation has been affected in the past few days, but this is normal in the entertainment industry; either this artist is exposed to scandals today, or that artist is in the news tomorrow. Take GK Pictures, for example; didn¡¯t the media condemn it also some time ago? So, I hope you don¡¯t get too hung up on this. We will give 30% of the profit as a gesture of sincerity.¡± ¡°Do you think the J & K Film Group can really bepared to GK? You aren¡¯t small in scale, but you are still a newpany with far less experience and influence than GK has. I¡¯m afraid that 30% of the profit is not as much as 10% of the profit in GK,¡± Gilbert said. Kisa gritted her teeth. ¡®Gilbert is really sparing no effort in sparring with me. He also tried to steal the deal with Kohen from mest time. If not for Jensen¡¯s acquaintance with Kohen, he might have seeded.¡® She secretly clenched her hands. The more Gilbert wanted to spoil the deal, the more determined she was to get this project. Kisa looked at Jensen, who seemed to have guessed what was on her mind. He nodded at her with a smile. Seeing the tacit interaction between the two of them, Gilbert almost went nuts with jealousy. He looked at the investors and sneered. ¡°10% of the profit from one drama in GK is ten times more than what you can earn from the J & K Film Group. I think you all are smart enough to choose.¡± ¡°I¡¯m willing to give you all the profits,¡± Kisa suddenly said to the investors with a straight face. The investors were shocked and stared at her incredulously. ¡°You are giving us all the profits?¡± Kisa nodded her head with a serious face. She understood that the J & K Film Group had to build a solidwork and reputation now, and that profits had toest. Only then could the J & K Film Group establish a firm foothold in the business. She continued. ¡°The J & K Film Group¡¯s profit for one drama was less than GK¡¯s, but that was before. Now we are growing in size, profits are rising, and we are still willing to give up all the profits. Think about it.¡± At once, several investors exchanged words and discussed privately. Kisa looked at Jensen and whispered, ¡°You won¡¯t me me, will you?¡± Jensen smiled and shook his head. ¡°You did the right thing.¡± The two looked at each other and smiled, as if there were only each other in their eyes. Gilbert was that and was pissed. He took out his cell phone and quickly typed on the screen. A secondter, Kisa¡¯s phone vibrated. She looked down at her phone subconsciously and found that it was a message from Gilbert. ¡®Isn¡¯t he just sitting next to me? Can¡¯t he just talk to me directly?¡® She frowned and looked over at Gilbert, but he did not look at her, but just sipped on the wine. Kisa was irate, thinking that he was pranking her. So she put her phone away and did not read the message. But a short whileter, Gilbert sent her another message.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 322 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 322 Chapter 322 Holding Her Up In the Women¡¯s Restroom She stared at Gilbert with annoyance, and Gilbert only gave her an icy smile. She gritted her teeth and still did not read the messages, but just waited in silence for the response from the investors across the room. But Gilbert seemed to be addicted to ying with her and sent her several messages in a row. Her phone kept vibrating. She took a deep breath and looked over at him beside with cold eyes. ¡°What the hell are you up to?¡± ¡°Wouldn¡¯t you know it if you took a look?¡± Gilbert said, and shot her a few more messages in quick session. Kisa was exasperated and clicked on the messages, only to find that the dozen messages were all about the same thing ¨C asking her to go to thevatory. ¡®Heh, why is he asking me to go to the restroom? What does he want to do with me in private? I¡¯m not going.¡® She put the phone on mute and put it away, acting as if nothing had happened. The investors were serious businessmen. They took out pens to write on paper, as if they were calcting their profits andparing whichpany was more profitable to work with. the investors had not yete up with results after about 20 minutes. Kisa had had enough of eating and drinking, and since she had too much drink, plus after the shooting, she came here without having time to run to the toilet, her dder was full and the urge to relieve herself became unstoppable. Kisa nced at the investors and found that they were still calcting and discussing, and they all looked very serious. Without bothering them, Kisa said to Jensen, ¡°Please excuse me for a moment.¡± With that, he got up and rushed outside, forgetting the contents of those messages. It was only when she got outside the restroom that the text message came to her mind. But she could not care less and rushed into the restroom. When she got back out, she was relieved to notice that there was no one around; the man did not follow her out. She turned on the tap to wash her hands and was wiping them with a tissue when she suddenly caught a glimpse of someone familiar out of the corner of her eye. She was startled. Just as she turned around, the person pressed against her and pushed her hard against the sink. ¡°W¨CWhat are you doing? This is the women¡¯svatory,¡± she asked. She could not believe that Gilbert, as the CEO of GK Pictures, could be so shameless to follow her into the women¡¯s restroom. He looked grave, as if he wanted to eat her alive. ¡°What? Is it because I gave up all the profits to steal your deal? If you aren¡¯t happy with that, you can give up your profits, too. Unfortunately, you can¡¯t. So, who is to me?¡± N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. ¡°You think I care about this deal?¡± Gilbert stared at her, gritting his teeth. ¡°If it were someone else, I wouldn¡¯t mind giving him this deal. But it is you who bes my rival. I have topete with you.¡± ¡°What is wrong with you? Why do you have to fight with me?¡± She knew Gilbert had been disgusted with her, but she could not take that he was mixing his personal grudges against her with business, which was totally irrational. Kisa suppressed her anger and said, ¡°I don¡¯t need your concession, and we compete fair and square. So, why are you holding me up here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m asking you: have you fulfilled the promise you made to Andrew and Ada yesterday?¡° Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 323 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 323 Chapter 323 Such a Good¨CLooking Face for Nothing Kisa immediately knew what it was about as soon as he mentioned Andrew and Ada; he was angry because she did not pick up Andrew and Ada from kindergarten. As much as she felt sorry for Andrew and Ada, she did not do it on purpose. So she wondered why Gilbert wanted to target her in business. ¡°I didn¡¯t pick them up from kindergarten, but I asked my assistant to do so. My assistant will take them safely to my ce, and I will bring them back to you.¡± ¡°It is not the same. They want you to pick them up, yet you are here talking about business. Kisa, don¡¯t promise if you can¡¯t keep it.¡± ¡°I¨CI-¡± Kisa felt she had done nothing wrong. She was resentful of him, but could not find the words to respond. At that moment, Gilbert¡¯s cell phone rang, and Kisa caught a glimpse of the caller ID on his phone screen. It was the kindergarten¡¯s director. Gilbert frowned after the kindergarten¡¯s director said something to him over the phone. ¡°I know,¡± he said indifferently on the phone and hung up. Kisa¡¯s heart sank upon seeing his grave expression. She guessed something might have happened to Andrew and Ada. She looked at the side of his face and asked, ¡°What did the director say? Is it Andrew and Ada¡ª¡± ¡°That is enough.¡± Gilbert snarled at her, his icy voice full of sarcasm. ¡°Don¡¯t act like you are worried about them. You have never. This pretentious look of yours is disgusting.¡± Kisa was indignant and had no words, even aggrieved upon hearing what he said. She was not the mother of the children. And because the children like her, and she was also fond of them, she cared about them. ¡®Who is he to say this to me? Forget it, Andrew and Ada are important.¡® She did not argue with him, but just asked eagerly, ¡°What exactly did the kindergarten¡¯s director just tell you?¡± Just then, a woman in her forties came into thevatory. When the woman was startled when she saw Gilbert. She quickly did a double take on the sign at the entrance to make sure that she hade to the women¡¯s restroom, and then looked at Gilbert as if he was a pervert. Gilbert, who was already upset, looked even frostier when the woman gave him that stare. ¡°What are you looking at? ¡± he yelled. The woman was startled by the yell and muttered in a low voice, ¡°You have got such a good¨Clooking face for nothing, pervert!¡± Gilbert¡¯s expression became even grimmer, and he looked as if he was going to kill someone. Seeing this, Kisa quickly pulled him out of thevatory. ¡°Stop going crazy, okay? I asked you what the director told you, and you didn¡¯t want to tell me.¡± Gilbert leaned against the wall, looking at her with resentment, and Kisa snorted sarcastically. ¡°Don¡¯t you look at me as if I have wronged you.¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you? In this world, the person who has wronged me the most is you.¡± ¡®If it wasn¡¯t for her, I wouldn¡¯t have suffered for so many years. If it wasn¡¯t for her, my children wouldn¡¯t have been without a mother for so many years. If it wasn¡¯t for her, Grandma wouldn¡¯t have been in aa for five years, and Sara wouldn¡¯t be missing. It is all because of her. She has messed up everyone¡¯s lives, and now she wants to wash her hands of these. How could I not hate her?¡® Kisaughed at Gilbert¡¯s loud statement. ¡°I¡¯m the one who has wronged you the most? Oh, Gilbert, you have got it the wrong way, haven¡¯t you?¡±N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 324 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 324 Chapter 324 What a Callous Woman! Gilbert stared at her, the resentment in his eyes growing stronger. Kisa did not want to argue with him about the past, as she was more concerned about the business discussion. She said to Gilbert, ¡°I will bring Andrew and Ada back to youter.¡± With that, she turned around and went back to the lounge. Gilbert watched as she went, feeling more and more that Kisa was heartless. ¡°The kindergarten¡¯s director said that Andrew and Ada are still waiting for you at school,¡± he said in a low voice. Kisa came to an abrupt halt, then quickly took out her phone and took a look. It was almost 7 pm. The ss finished at 4 pm; that meant Andrew and Ada had waited for three hours. She looked at Gilbert. ¡°How can that be? I obviously asked Lea to pick them up.¡± ¡°Like I have said, they just want you to pick them up.¡® Gilbert gritted his teeth in anger. ¡°I don¡¯t know whose nature these two kids inherited; they are so stubborn. Since you promised to pick them up from school yesterday, they would only recognize you. Even if I go to pick them up, they are not going to go with me. They will wait until you show up. But you lied to them.¡± ¡°No, I didn¡¯t lie to them. I just had something to do.¡± ¡°Then you go to pick them up now.¡± ¡°No.¡± Seeing Kisa shake her head, Gilbert exploded in anger. Aren¡¯t the two children more important than one business deal? Besides, the deal is almost wrapped up, yet you¡¯re still not willing to go pick them up.¡± ¡°I will go as soon as the deal is finalized,¡± Kisa said, turned around, and left. Gilbert red at her as she went. ¡°Kisa, you are the one who is the most callous.¡± Watching Kisa disappear out of the hallway, Gilbert was so pissed that he mmed his fist on the wall. ¡®What a callous woman!¡® Before entering the lounge, Kisa called Lea on the phone. Before she could utter a word, Lea said, ¡°Are you done there? I was going to call you, but was afraid of disturbing your business negotiations.¡± ¡°We are almost done. How are things on your side?¡± ¡°s, Andrew and Ada are so stubborn, saying they wouldn¡¯t leave until youe. I¡¯m waiting for you at a dessert shop next to the school.¡± ¡°Okay. I¡¯m d to have you watching them. I will be there soon.¡± N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Kisa was not too worried when Lea was taking care of the two children. Otherwise, she would have rushed to the school at once. She was puzzled when Gilbert¡¯s grim, resentful look came to her mind. He had mistakenly thought she had done a lot of bad things in the past, and it was understandable that he hated her for those bad things and resented her. But she had done nothing to the two children, so why was he so resentful of her when it came to the two children? She also understood that when he loathed her, whatever she did would anger him. She gathered herself and then pushed the door open and entered the lounge. When she was seated, Jensen asked her in a soft voice, ¡® Gilbert didn¡¯t give you any trouble, did he?¡± Kisa subconsciously nced at the empty seat beside her and shook her head. ¡°No. He just told me to pick up Andrew and Ada from school.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Jensen said not a word again. That was when Gilbert came back in, too. He looked sedate without the gloom and resentment he had just had. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 325 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 325 Chapter 325 If You Dare to Drive, I Will Dare to Ride Gilbert sat beside Kisa as if nothing had happened. He then asked the investors, ¡°Well, have you alle to a decision?¡± The investors were pretty much done with their calctions. One of them, Mr. Russell, smiled at Gilbert. ¡± In all the time we have been in the business, we have never met a partner who was willing to give us all the profits, and that alone shows the sincerity of the J & K Film Group.¡® Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. ¡°Absolutely. So we decided to partner with the J & K Film Group.¡± Gilbert sneered as soon as Mr. Simpson¡¯s voice trailed off. ¡°Since the J & K Film Group will give up all the profits, then we at GK-¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper.¡± Gilbert was halfway through his sentence when Jensen suddenly called out to him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Jensen coldly. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Oh, nothing. I just want to remind you it is gettingte. Let¡¯s get this discussion wrapped up, as Kisa has to rush to pick up the children.¡± Kisa red at Gilbert. ¡®This man is going to give up his profit just topete with me. If he hadn¡¯t just said what he said to me in the restroom, she would have thought he was justpeting with me in a normal way. But he clearly said that he did not care about the deal, and the reason he wanted topete was because I was his rival. Heh, he will do everything to target me.¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, what did you want to say?¡± Mr. Russell¡¯s eyes beamed as he felt GK was going to make an offer, too. Gilbert shot Kisa a cold nce and said with a grin. Nothing. I just wanted to say that since the J & K Film Group is so sincere, I can understand why you choose to work with them.¡± Mr. Russell leaned back in his chair in disappointment. At first, he thought GK was going to give up its profits, too. But apparently, he had thought too much. Just then, Mr. Park said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m d that you understand, Mr. Kooper. We are open to any future cooperation with you.¡± Gilbert pulled a smile, got up, and left. Kisa sighed with relief, as Gilbert had given up challenging her on the deal. In order to pick up Andrew and Ada as soon as possible, Kisa quickly signed the contracts with those investors. When everything was done, it was almost 7:30 pm. She left it to Jensen to entertain the investors while she hurriedly left. Just as she stepped out of the restaurant, someone pulled her aside and yanked her hard against the door of a van. It was Gilbert. ¡®He hasn¡¯t left yet?¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± Kisa yelled as she struggled. ¡°Now that you have finally gotten the deal. Now,e with me to pick up Andrew and Ada,¡± Gilbert said with a sarcastic tone of voice. ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell me. I will go myself.¡± She was supposed to pick up the two children, and if he had not stopped her so suddenly, she would have driven toward the school by now. Gilbert hissed, pulled open the car door, and shoved her inside. Kisa looked at the steering wheel in front of her and said in frustration. ¡°I have a car. || ¡°Take mine. I have been drinking and can¡¯t drive,¡± Gilbert said, sitting in the passenger seat, as if it was a matter of course. ¡°I don¡¯t drive much, and I¡¯m not very good at it. So do you dare to let me drive you?¡± Kisa said sarcastically. Gilbert turned to look at her. ¡°If you dare to drive, I will dare to ride.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 326 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 326 Chapter 326 Ada is Missing The man¡¯s eyes were so sultry that it caused Kisa¡¯s heart to skip a beat. She hurriedly looked away and started the car. It was after 7.00 pm, and the traffic was heavy. Coupled with the many traffic lights along the way, the road was seriously jammed. It took her ten minutes just to move a short distance. The atmosphere inside the car was deadly dull, but Kisa just did not want to talk to the man. This was the first time she drove a car with the man sitting beside her; it was a strange feeling. As she waited patiently for the traffic light, Gilbert suddenly said, ¡°It is sote now. I don¡¯t think you are worried about Andrew and Ada.¡± ¡°Why do I have to worry about them?¡± Kisa asked, surprised. It was gettingte, but Lea was with the children. She felt there was no need to worry too much, just treating it as Lea bringing the children out to y. But Gilbert thought she was cold¨Cblooded based on what she said. He clenched his fists on hisp and said to her in an icy voice, ¡°You don¡¯t deserve to be a mother.¡± Kisa tightened her grip on the steering wheel involuntarily as he reminded her of her baby, whose body had turned purple and who was lifeless. Her eyes welled up, and sheughed mockingly, ¡°I¡¯m just not worried about the children whom you have with another woman, and you say I don¡¯t deserve to be a mother. Do you deserve to be a father when you have killed your own child?¡± ¡®I killed my own child?¡® Gilbert frowned and was about to say something when a car sounded its horn behind them. Kisa saw the light had turned green and hurriedly started the car. There was another moment of silence. Fortunately, the school was not far away, and they arrived at the school in half an hour. The school gate was closed. Kisa parked the car, got out, and looked around. She saw the dessert shop to the right of the school. Wondering if Lea and the children were still there, she called Lea while walking toward the dessert shop. Gilbert silently followed her with a frown. Lea did not answer the phone. Just as she was about to dial it a second time, Lea ran toward her in a hurry, with Andrew in tow. ¡°Kisa, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart sank when she heard Lea¡¯s apology. Before she could ask, Lea cried, ¡°Ada is missing.¡± Before Kisa could react, Gilbert grabbed Lea by her neck. What did you say? Say it again.¡± Lea¡¯s face turned pale, and she shivered with fear and cried in a trembling voice, ¡°Ada is gone. She just disappeared before I knew it.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face was ghastly, and he tightened his hand on || Lea¡¯s throat, and Lea¡¯s face instantly turned from pale to red. Kisa saw this and hurriedly tried to stop Gilbert. ¡°Stop it. It is not Lea¡¯s fault. You want to find someone to take the me, me-¡± Before Kisa could finish her sentence, Gilbert violently yanked her to the ground. Her arm scraped against the tough ground and became a bloody mess. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Gilbert¡¯s eyes turned red as he hissed at her. ¡°me you? Of course I me you. I wish I could kill you right now.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 327 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 327 Chapter 327 Don¡¯t be Mean to Ma¡¯am ¡°Daddy!¡± Andrew was terrified, hugging him around the waist and crying. ¡°Don¡¯t be mean to Ma¡¯am and don¡¯t me Auntie Lea. Let¡¯s go and find Ada. She must be terrified now.¡± Ada grew up afraid of the dark and loved to cry. He broke down at the thought of Ada cowering in a corner, crying, or being abducted by some criminal. He stared at Lea and yelled coldly. ¡°You had better tell me exactly what was going on.¡± Kisa fought back the pain in her arm and got up from the ground, then tugged at Lea. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Tell us how Ada disappeared.¡± Lea kept shivering in fright and said with tearful eyes, Just now it was crowded in the dessert shop. I¨CI took Andrew to buy some desserts and let Ada wait in her seat. When we came back from the table, A¨C Ada was gone.¡± Kisa subconsciously looked at Andrew, who nodded. ¡°It is really none of Aunt Lea¡¯s fault. Daddy, let¡¯s go find Ada.¡± ¡°How long has Ada been missing?¡± Kisa asked Lea again. ¡°I¨CI think she has been gone for about ten minutes. Andrew and I were looking around and didn¡¯t find her. ¡°No one should dare to abduct children in the school neighborhood. Ada should have walked away on her own and identally got lost somewhere. Let¡¯s split up and look for her now.¡± Kisa looked around anxiously. There were three forks in the road, and she pointed to a bustling alley. ¡°I will look over there. Lea, you take Andrew and wait at the dessert shop because I¡¯m afraid Ada wille back on her own again.¡± She then looked at Gilbert, whose face was ghastly. ¡°I know Ada is missing, and you are anxious. In fact, we are all anxious. Better hurry up to find her. When you get her back, you can punish me any way you want.¡± ¡°What if we don¡¯t find her?¡± Gilbert¡¯s voice was terribly tense. Kisa felt a tinge of pain in her heart. She did not know if she wasforting herself or Gilbert, but she said, almost spelling out her words, ¡°There is no what if. We will find Ada,¡± and then she turned and hurried down the alley. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Gilbert suddenly said aloud from behind her, ¡°I will not spare you if anything happens to Ada.¡± Kisa stopped dead in her tracks, clenched her hands at her side, and forced a smile. ¡°I know. I won¡¯t spare myself either.¡± With that, she rushed into the alley without looking back. She was at fault with this incident. Had she not promised the two children yesterday that she would pick them up, they would not have persisted in waiting at school. Had shee ten minutes earlier, Ada would not have gone missing. She was the one who was too obsessed with the contract, the one who promised the children and then failed to keep her word. The children loved her so much, but she had broken her word to them. When she thought of Ada always hugging her and calling her affectionately, she had a lump in her throat. She wiped the tears away and stopped a young couple who walked past. ¡°Have you seen a little girl this tall, not too chubby, not too thin, with a pair of pigtails and wearing a Smart Bees Pre¨CSchool uniform?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 328 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 328 Chapter 328 He is a Nice Guy She asked and gestured with her hands. The young couple shook their heads apologetically. ¡± Sorry, we have never seen her.¡± Kisa took a deep breath and asked a few other people, but still nothing. She had almoste to the other end of the alley, and further ahead was a residential area, the gate of which was closed, and only residents could get in. So she was certain that Ada was not inside. This was one of the busiest turnoffs near the school. She wondered where Ada could go if she was not here. It had only been ten minutes, and Ada could not have gone far. She told herself repeatedly that this was a school zone, where the security was tight, and that there could not have been abductions of children happening here. But she still panicked and scared, anxiously searching around, her eyes eagerly scanning the passing crowd, but still could not find Ada. She broke down and grabbed at her hair as she walked back again anxiously. Since Ada was not here, she could only look in other directions. The longer the search got, the more panicked she became. As she returned the same way, she called out Ada¡¯s name again. She came to a stall selling ravioli and saw a crowd in front of the stall, so she thought of asking a few people when suddenly something hugged her leg. She turned around subconsciously and was overjoyed. It was none other than Ada. Kisa could no longer hold back her excitement. She picked Ada up in her arms with teary eyes. ¡°Where have you been? I have been looking for you everywhere.¡± Ada was also in a delirium of joy, wrapping her arms around Kisa¡¯s neck. ¡°I thought I was mistaken again. But it turns out that this time it is really you. You have finallye.¡± Kisa was anxious as much as she was exasperated. ¡°Who let you roam around? You scared the hell out of us, you know that?¡± She then took out her cell phone and informed Gilbert and Lea so they would not have to worry any longer. Ada pouted as she clung to Kisa¡¯s neck. ¡°Ma¡¯am, I¡¯m not roaming around. I just saw someone who looked like you. ¡°Like me?¡± Kisa was stunned, and a sh of guilt hit her. ¡°You didn¡¯t think that person was me, so you chased her here, did you?¡± N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. ¡°Uh¨Chuh!¡± Ada nodded vigorously. ¡°Before I followed the person out, I thought of telling Andrew and Auntie Lea, but they were far away from me, and I was afraid that the person would go far and I wouldn¡¯t be able to catch up. So I¨CI didn¡¯t manage to tell Andrew.¡± Ada spoke faster than normal. She swallowed hard and continued. ¡°B¨CBut when I caught up with that person, I found out that it wasn¡¯t you. I was so disappointed, so I went back to find Andrew and Auntie Lea. But I got lost and I couldn¡¯t find the dessert shop. I even got knocked down,¡± Ada said, and showed her arm to Kisa. Only then did Kisa notice her red and swollen arm and two bandages on the scrapes. The bandages were nicely applied and did not look like she had put them on herself. So Kisa asked, ¡°Who put these on you?¡± ¡°A boy did it for me.¡± ¡°A boy?¡± Kisa was puzzled. Ada suddenly pointed back behind her. ¡°It is them, and that boy is a nice guy.¡® As Kisa looked in the direction she was pointing, she was shocked. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 329 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 329 Chapter 329 How Can Ma¡¯am be Like Mom? It was Mia, and she was holding a little boy about the same age as Ada. Just that Mia was supposed to be in Raworth, so Kisa wondered how she ended up in Calthon and if Jensen knew about it. ¡°It has been a long time, Kisa.¡± Kisa walked over with Ada in her arms, her heart skipping a beat when her eyes swept across the boy¡¯s face. For some reason, she felt that the boy¡¯s eyes looked like someone she knew. She was nevertheless happy to see Mia again. ¡°You havee to this city, too?¡± Mia smiled. ¡°Yeah. ke and I may have to stay here long term.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great. This is a nice ce. We cane out for a meal more often.¡± Kisa smiled and asked, ¡°Does Jensen know you havee over?¡± ¡°He knew.¡± Mia let out a meaningful smile. ¡°He is the one who told ke and me toe over.¡± Kisa smiled and nodded, suddenly feeling that she had just asked a redundant question. The only people Mia knew well here were probably Jensen, and if Jensen had not asked, they would not have come over. Ada got out of Kisa¡¯s arms and took the boy¡¯s hand. ¡± Look, she is the ma¡¯am I was telling you about. She is very nice, almost like my mommy.¡± ke appeared cool in front of people. He drew back his hand and said in a serious tone of voice, ¡°Ma¡¯am is ma¡¯am, and mommy is mommy; how can a ma¡¯am be like a mommy?¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t a ma¡¯am be like mommy? When Ma¡¯am gets together with my daddy, she will be my mommy.¡± ¡°What about your original mommy?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t have a mommy originally.¡± Listening to the conversation between the two children, Kisa felt embarrassed and bad. Especially when she heard Ada say she did not have a mother. She felt a pang of pain inside. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Mia looked at Ada and smiled at Kisa. ¡°Is this child with you¡ª¡± ¡°She is Gilbert¡¯s daughter and Jensen¡¯s niece.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Mia nodded in understanding. ¡°I see. So ke and this girl are really brother and sister.¡± ¡°Huh? Brother and sister?¡± ¡°Oh, I mean, ke is Jensen¡¯s adopted son, and she is Jensen¡¯s niece, so they¡¯re like brother and sister, cousins. Kisa felt there was nothing wrong with what Mia said, so she said nothing more, but she still felt it was strange. Just then, Gilbert hurried over and grabbed Ada, shouting at her in a stern voice, ¡°Why did you run away on your own, huh?¡± Her father had never been so mean like this to her before. Ada pouted, looked at Gilbert with tears in her eyes, but said nothing. ke frowned. ¡°Mister, you are really mean. You are scaring her.¡± Gilbert turned his attention to the boy and Mia. ¡°You two are?¡± ¡°Nice to meet you, mister. Maybe we can y ball together next time.¡± ke was quite fond of Gilbert and took the lead in asking him out, but Gilbert kept a bitter face and only responded with a nod. Miaughed. ¡°All right, here the girl is; she is back to you. ke and I should get back.¡± ¡°Wait for a minute.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 330 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 330 Chapter 330 Wife and Children Are to be Loved and Cared For Kisa quickly called out to them. ¡°Where do you live? Maybe I can visit you when I have time.¡± ¡°ke attends the kindergarten right up ahead. I see this girl is also wearing the kindergarten¡¯s uniform. If youe to pick up the girl from the kindergarten, we will definitely run into each other again,¡± Mia said, and took ke with her. Kisa looked on as Mia left. She still felt that Mia¡¯s sudden appearance in Calthon was a bit strange. Gilbert was not interested in Mia and ke. He just anxiously checked Ada to see if she was injured. At last, he found the two bandages on her arms. ¡°What is this again?¡± Gilbert frowned, his face sullen, and he sounded angry. Ada, who was already aggrieved, cried and hid in Kisa¡¯s arms upon being shouted at. ¡°Daddy is mean. Daddy is so mean. I don¡¯t want daddy¡­¡± Gilbert looked at her, his eyes scarily sullen. ¡°You cry every time you are disciplined. When have you ever listened to me? What if you get lost if you run around like this?¡± Gilbert was furious this time. No matter how hard Ada cried, he would not budge. Atst, Kisa could not help but intervene. ¡°Come on, she is just a child. Besides, she knows she is wrong and feels wronged. You frightened her when you yelled at her like that.¡± ¡°She will never learn if she is not disciplined. What if she runs away like that again?¡± Gilbert yelled again and his yelling soon attracted passersby¡¯s attention. The situation was that Ada was in tears, hiding in Kisa¡¯s arms, and Kisa bent over to protect Ada, while Gilbert was standing in front of them, yelling at them with an irascible face. It just looked as if an ipetent husband was bullying his wife and child. There was a lot of chatter around. ¡°I pity his wife and child. Especially the child; she is crying, yet he is still yelling at her. What kind of man is this?¡± ¡°Absolutely. He has a good¨Clooking face for nothing. He just knows how to bully his wife and child.¡± ¡°This is still outside. Had it been at home, he could have treated his wife and child worse.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face turned even more sullen as he heard the This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. harshments. Kisa was really worried that he would hit those people in a rage. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s talk about it when we get back.¡± She bellowed at Gilbert. At that moment, an elderly woman seized Gilbert¡¯s arm and said to him, ¡°Young man, can you see how virtuous your wife and how adorable your daughter are? Why can¡¯t you control your anger instead of venting it on them? Wives and children are to be loved and cared for. Don¡¯t make them run away and regret itter because of your bad temper.¡± Kisa tensed up, afraid that Gilbert would suddenly raise his hand to push the elderly woman to the ground. Just as she was getting nervous, Gilbert suddenly patted the elderly woman¡¯s hand and smiled gently at her. ¡°You misunderstood. I didn¡¯t scold them. I was just worried about them and said something a bit too harsh. You are right, wives and children are to be loved and cared for.¡± The elderly woman nodded her head smilingly after hearing this. ¡°That is good. That is good. Don¡¯t be like my grandson, regretting his hot temper that caused his wife to leave him.¡± Seeing that it was just a misunderstanding, the passers ¨C by dispersed. But after their mediation, Gilbert looked less angry indeed. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 331 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 331 Chapter 331 A Face Like Thunder He looked at Ada. His face looked a bit stern, no longer as sullen as before. ¡°Come out here. Do you think you can get away with it by hiding under Kisa¡¯s arms?¡± Ada clung to Kisa and shook her head vigorously. ¡°I afraid of Daddy.¡± Gilbert took a deep breath. It was apparent that he was trying hard to suppress his anger. Kisa shook her head helplessly. She squatted down and held Ada¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Talk to your daddy properly. You are wrong for straying too far away from the school this time. As long as you admit your mistake, Daddy will forgive you.¡± Ada poked her two fingers at each other and cautiously looked at Gilbert, who still had a face like thunder, of which even adults would be afraid, not to mention Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. children. ¡°Don¡¯t look at Ada with such an expression. You will scare her,¡± Kisa said. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to tell me how to teach my child. When have you ever cared about them? Stop pretending already. Kisa choked in anger, feeling guilty when Ada was missing but dared not to rebuke, no matter how harshly he berated her earlier. But now that Ada has come back, he still verbally abused her. She knew that when this man disliked her, he would see her in a bad light. Trying her best to suppress the indignation inside, she whispered to Ada, ¡°Good girl, go home with your daddy. I have got to go now.¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am¡­¡± ¡°You are leaving just like this? Ada almost got lost, waiting for you to show up. You have just found her and already want to leave? Don¡¯t you have any conscience?¡± Kisa frowned and replied angrily, ¡°What the hell do you mean? Whatever I do is wrong in your eyes. I just didn¡¯te to pick them up from school in time. Why are you harping on the same thing again and again?¡± Kisa was exasperated, feeling that all that Gilbert cared about was his children, and her failure to pick up his children from school in time was unforgivable, which was ridiculous to her. Rage was consuming him. Gilbert did not know why he was so furious. He only felt a strong resentment overwhelm him, and he had no way to vent it. He went to the side of the road and lit a cigarette, then put one hand on his waist and puffed away silently. Kisa could only see his back. He wore a ck shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. The tense muscles of his lower arms are the only obvious indication of his anger. Ada took Kisa¡¯s hand and looked at her with pitiful eyes. Ma¡¯am, please don¡¯t go. I¨CI¡¯m afraid of Daddy.¡± Kisa stroked her head and agreed with Ada; Gilbert was scary indeed. She squatted down again and said gently to Ada, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid and listen to me. Apologize to your daddy now and then use your puppy dog eyes in front of him, and he won¡¯t be angry with you and me anymore.¡± ¡°Really? If I apologize to him, he won¡¯t be mean to you?¡± ¡°Yeah, it is true. Go on.¡± She knew Ada was Gilbert¡¯s soft spot, no matter how angry he was. Ada walked toward Gilbert and looked back repeatedly. As she came behind Gilbert, she again looked back at Kisa, who smiled at her and gestured for her not to be afraid. Ada pouted and plucked up her courage to stick out a little finger and poke at Gilbert¡¯s back. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 332 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 332 Chapter 332 How Much Does This Hurt? The first time, Gilbert did not respond to the poke. Ada looked back at Kisa, who grinned at her, signaling her to continue and mouthing the word e on.¡± Ada had no choice but to poke at Gilbert again. ¡°You know you are wrong, don¡¯t you?¡± Gilbert finally turned around. He stared down at Ada with a frown. Ada quickly nodded. ¡°Daddy, I¡¯m sorry. I won¡¯t go stray again, and from now on, I will tell everyone where I am going and will not make everyone worry anymore. Please don¡¯t be angry with Ma¡¯am and me anymore, okay?¡± Gilbert said nothing, just stared at Ada. Just when he knew Ada was missing, he was so panicked that he did not know what to do. But he felt Kisa did not seem to be worried at all. He got angry at the thought of this. He did not think Kisa was a qualified mother. While having this thought in mind, someone crashed into his arms¡ªit was Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Ada. ¡°Daddy, don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡± Ada tugged at the corner of his coat, hoping he would crouch down. Gilbert stubbed out his cigarette and squatted down, and she nted a big kiss on his cheek. ¡°I love daddy the most. Daddy is the best. Don¡¯t get angry with me, okay?¡± Even if Gilbert had a heart of steel, he crumpled as soon as Ada used her puppy dog eyes on him. She was too adorable. Atst, a smile finally appeared on Gilbert¡¯s face. He hugged Ada and said in an unprecedentedly gentle voice, ¡°Don¡¯t make me angry again, and don¡¯t stray, or I will die worrying about you.¡± ¡°Okay. I will never do that again.¡± Kisa gazed at the father and daughter embracing each other and at the tenderness on Gilbert¡¯s face. Her eyes welled up involuntarily when she thought of her own child. ¡®If my child were still here and used her puppy dog eyes on him as Ada did, would he love her like he loved Ada?¡® Unfortunately, there were never any what¨Cifs in this world, and this question would never be answered either. Lea and Andrew waited in the dessert shop and finally saw Kisaing back with Ada. The moment she saw Ada, Lea was so excited that she burst into tears. ¡°I¡¯m so d that Ada is okay, or I would have died of guilt.¡± Kisa smiled and patted her on the shoulder. ¡°I¡¯m the one who should feel guilty. It is not your fault.¡± ¡°Why is there blood on your sleeve, Kisa?¡± Kisa was swung to the ground by Gilbert earlier and had bruised her arm. She thought no one would see it if she covered it with her sleeve, but Lea found it and lifted her sleeve to check on the wound. A large part of her arm was scraped, shockingly gross. ¡°How much does this hurt?¡± It hurt Lea to see this. Andrew was also distraught. ¡°Ma¡¯am, let Daddy take you to the hospital.¡± Kisa nced at Gilbert¡¯s indifferent face and pulled down her sleeve. ¡°It is okay. It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± ¡°How can it not hurt? It even hurts me to see- ¡°Lea.¡± Kisa interrupted her. Even if it hurt, she could not cry out in front of Gilbert, or he would use her of being pretentious again. Just as Lea opened her mouth to say something again, Gilbert suddenly called out to her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 333 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 333 Chapter 333 Have I Ever Hit a Woman? Lea was startled, and her body tensed up. Kisa nced at her. Knowing Lea was afraid of Gilbert, she said, ¡°What do you want with her? I told you it is not her fault, so me me if you want.¡± Gilbert ignored her and walked Lea to a corner. Lea cowered and looked at Kisa. ¡°What is he doing? He is not going to hit me, is he?¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°How dare he?¡± Kisa sneered at Gilbert from behind. ¡°If you try to hit Lea, I will kill you.¡± Gilbert sneered. ¡°Don¡¯t always think of me as violent. Have I, Gilbert, ever hit a woman?¡± Kisa snickered, feeling his remark was very debatable. But with so many around, she did not think Gilbert would do anything to Lea. With that in mind, she said to Lea, ¡°Go check it out and see what he wants.¡± Lea nodded and went over with a feeling of apprehension. After a few moments, Lea came back to her with a smile on her face. What was even more rming was that Gilbert seemed to be in a good mood, too. ¡®My God, what have they been whispering about to suddenly be so happy?¡® Kisa pulled Lea aside and asked, ¡°What did he say to you when he called you over? Why are you so happy?¡± Lea shook her head. ¡°Kisa, I won¡¯t sleep at home tonight. My friends from another state havee today. I have to take them to stay in the hotel for a few days. But don¡¯t worry, I will still be on set every day.¡± Kisa was puzzled. ¡°Friends? I didn¡¯t know that you had any friends out of town. Did he threaten you with something?¡± Lea quickly shook her head. ¡°No, no. Mr. Kooper is very nice. He didn¡¯t threaten me with anything. Okay, Kisa. I have to go. My friends are rushing me.¡± ¡°s, Lea¡­¡± Kisa wanted to ask something more, but Lea waved down a cab and left. She still felt that Lea¡¯s behavior was a bit strange. She looked soberly at Gilbert and asked, ¡°What exactly did you say to Lea?¡± Gilbert gave a careless grunt. ¡°What do you think I would say to her?¡± Kisa gritted her teeth, ignored him, and turned to leave. Andrew and Ada quickly pulled at her on the left and right. ¡°Ma¡¯am, don¡¯t go.¡± ¡°It is gettingte. I have to go home. You two go home with your daddy.¡± The two children shook their heads from side to side. ¡°We want to go home with you. We want to stay with you.¡± ¡°What? How can that be?¡± Kisa was shocked. She had to get up early to work every day and had no time to take care of them. ¡°Why not? Are you afraid they will interrupt you and Jensen¡¯s life together?¡± Gilbert suddenly said. Kisa was used to seeing a pushy Gilbert. She thought that since he had to think so, she would not refute it but take this opportunity to piss him off. ¡°Yeah, you are right. I¡¯m just afraid they will disturb Jensen and me.¡± But to her surprise, he did not get angry but smiled at her knowingly. Not liking this smile, she said, ¡°It iste, so take them home.¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am, let us stay with you. We won¡¯t cause you any trouble, really.¡± The two children looked at her expectantly. Kisa could not bring herself to refuse them. But her current situation did not allow her to take care of them. Besides, Gilbert was too protective of his children; if anything happened to them at her ce, she was afraid that he would kill her. The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was not right. So she thought of refusing. Gilbert suddenly spoke. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 334 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 334 Chapter 334 What a Happy Family of Four ¡°Since they like you so much and have waited for you here, what is wrong with letting them stay at your ce for one night?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Just for one night; can¡¯t you just fulfill their wish? Why do you have to be so mean and cruel?¡± ¡°I¡¯m mean and cruel?¡± Kisa let out a sardonicughter as she found no way to reason with this man. He was supposedly the one who was mean and cruel, yet he used her of that, which was ridiculous. Andrew and Ada were still looking at her expectantly, and Kisa looked at Gilbert. ¡°Is it really just for one night?¡± ¡°Otherwise, do you think I would feelfortable letting them stay at your ce long¨Cterm?¡± Gilbert always spoke to her with a touch of sarcasm in his voice, and that was most irritating to Kisa. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Okay, just for one night- that is what you said.¡± With that, she took Andrew and Ada and walked toward the roadside, intending to take a cab home. Gilbert suddenly called out to her again. She turned around and yelled at him, ¡°What else do you want? || Gilbert leaned against the car door. ¡°I have just been drinking, so I can¡¯t drive.¡± ¡°And?¡± Kisa sneered. Gilbert¡¯s smile was even wryer than hers. ¡°What do you think?¡± So the car was Gilbert¡¯s, and Kisa was driving it. So not only she, Andrew, and Ada but also Gilbert were in the car. The destination was her residence. Gilbert shamelessly demanded to see her house if it was suitable for his two children to spend the night. He did not want his two children to get any lesser treatment. Kisa was boiling inside but forced herself to bear with him instead of arguing, telling herself repeatedly that she put up with him this far purely for the sake of Andrew and Ad ¡ª it was for the sake of the two children. They soon arrived outside the apartment building. Gilbert subconsciously looked at the building to see the lights in a unit were turned on. Kisa ignored him, got out of the car with the two children, and walked straight to the lobby. Ada shouted at Gilbert, ¡°Daddy,e on.¡± When they walked into the elevator, there was an elderly woman in her fifties. She looked them up and down and suddenly smiled at her and Gilbert with envy. ¡°You took the kids out to y? What a happy family of four.¡± Kisa wanted to exin but suddenly thought better of it. Gilbert secretly smirked, knowing which unit Jensen stayed in. A quick, imperceptible smile shed in his eyes when he saw Kisa open the door to the opposite unit. ¡®Lea didn¡¯t; she and Jensen are staying separately.¡® Kisa opened the door and let the two children enter first while she looked back at Gilbert and said, ¡°Just take a look, and you can go.¡± Gilbert shrugged, saying nothing, and just followed her into the house. He found the unit was notrge, but everything that needed to be there was. Gilbert leaned against a cab by the window and asked, ¡°Did Jensen help you decorate this house?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Kisa responded indifferently and frowned at him. ¡± You are done observing. You may go now.¡± ¡°What is the hurry? Is this how you treat your guests?¡±Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 335 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 335 Chapter 335 You¡¯re¡­ Uncle Jensen? Soon after Gilbert spoke, he sat on her couch shamelessly. Kisa furrowed her brows, ¡°What are you doing? You said you¡¯d leave after taking a nce.¡± Gilbert leaned into the couch at looked at her coolly, ¡°I¡¯m tired. Can¡¯t I sit down and get some rest?¡± Kisa gritted her teeth. ¡®From what it looks like, this man has no intention of leaving at all,¡® she thought. Suddenly, they heard someone knocking on the door. Andrew quickly rushed to the door, ¡°Have a seat, Ma¡¯am. I¡¯ll go get the door.¡± When Andrew opened the door, he was stunned. Jensen, who was standing by the door, was also stunned. Andrew tilted his head as he stared at him momentarily. Then, he smiled, ¡°You¡¯re¡­ Uncle Jensen?¡± N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Jensen felt his heart skip a beat when he heard the child call him ¡°Uncle Jensen.¡± He smiled gently and nodded, ¡°Hello.¡± Andrew made way for him to enter, ¡°Come on in.¡± The well¨Cmannered boy left a good impression on Jensen. Before he entered, he could not help but pat Andrew¡¯s head. When Jensen entered and saw Gilbert sitting on the couch, he did not show any shock on his face. On the other hand, Kisa had an awkward expression. She turned to Gilbert and said hurriedly, ¡°Alright. Hurry up and leave!¡± Gilbert frowned. Kisa had ruined his slightly good mood. However, he refused to leave. Gilbert leaned into the couch and shed Jensen a smile, So you¡¯re living in the unit across?¡± ¡°Kisa and I have different lifestyles, so living separately would prevent us from interfering with each other¡¯s resting time,¡± Jensen exined coolly. Suddenly, he noticed the bloodstain on Kisa¡¯s shirt sleeve and frowned. ¡°You¡¯re hurt!¡± Gilbert was standing in front of Kisa by the time Jensen finished his sentence. Kisa nced at the indifferent expression on Gilbert¡¯s face. Then, she shed Jensen a small smile, ¡°I¡¯m fine. I fell and got a little grazed.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not true! I saw a huge scrape on your arm, and there was a lot of blood. It looks painful,¡± Ada blurted anxiously. Jensen¡¯s frown deepened. He said in a low voice, ¡°Wait here. I¡¯ll go get the medical kit.¡± After Jensen left the room, Gilbert turned to Kisa and snorted. ¡°You¡¯re so delicate nowadays. Everyone¡¯s so distressed. over your little injury,¡± he sneered. Kisa lowered her gaze. ¡®I knew this man would make sarcastic remarks. That¡¯s why I never show my true feelings in front of him, no matter how painful it is,¡® she thought. She did not bother getting angry over him. She merely turned to Ada and Andrew and said, ¡°You two must be hungry. Shall I make you guys some spaghetti?¡± Gilbert promptly grabbed her hand before the children could respond. Then, he said sardonically, ¡°You¡¯re cooking spaghetti even though you know you¡¯ve hurt your arm? Are you trying to further aggravate your wound to get him to worry over you even more?¡± Even with Kisa¡¯s good temper, she was now furious. She red at him sadly and angrily. Then, she said through gritted teeth, ¡°There must be something wrong with you! Whatever I do is wrong to you, right?¡± Gilbert felt a twinge in his heart at the sight of Kisa¡¯s teary eyes. He originally intended to say some words of concern. Nevertheless, his words turned aggressively sardonic the moment they left his mouth for some reason. Just then, Jensen returned with the medical kit. Gilbert reached out to grab the medical kit out of reflex. However, he did not expect Jensen to dodge him. ¡°I¡¯ll do it. I often help her bandage her wounds,¡± he said with a small smile. Gilbert¡¯s expression darkened before turning to Kisa. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 336 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 336 Chapter 336 Burning with Jealousy Kisa ignored Gilbert. She continued sitting quietly while Jensen dealt with her wound. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Meanwhile, Gilbert stood aside, watching them. His presence seemed unnecessary. Just then, Kisa spoke again coolly, ¡°You¡¯re still not leaving? Why? Do you need me to walk you to the door?¡± After being urged to leave several times, Gilbert felt more and more like his presence was unwanted. His expression darkened, and he silently clenched his fists in anger. Andrew blinked her big brown eyes and said to Gilbert, ¡± Daddy, I¡¯m so hungry. Could you please make me some spaghetti?¡± As expected of twins, Ada immediately understood what Andrew meant by his words. She said to Gilbert, ¡°Daddy, I want spaghetti too. Can you go make it for Andrew and me?¡± Gilbert instinctively turned to face Kisa. She turned to the children and said gently, ¡°I¡¯ll make you two spaghetti after this. I make amazing spaghetti.¡± Ada shook her head, ¡°You¡¯re hurt, so you can¡¯t make us spaghetti. Otherwise, your wound will hurt even more.¡± ¡°How about letting Uncle Jensen cook for you? His spaghetti is even better than the ones I make.¡± Gilbert was burning with jealousy after he heard Kisa praising Jensen. Andrew gave it a quick thought before saying hurriedly, That won¡¯t work, Ma¡¯am. Uncle Jensen needs to help you bandage your wound. Ada and I are really hungry now, so let daddy go make it. Just as Kisa was about to speak again, Jensen suddenly smiled slightly. ¡°Let Gilbert go. You don¡¯t want the children to starve, right?¡± Kisa stopped talking. Naturally, she did not want the children to starve. However, she felt even more reluctant to see Gilbert. Seeing how Kisa did not respond, Andrew quickly said to Gilbert, ¡°Daddy, hurry and go make us spaghetti!¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth and red at Kisa. His re was so deathly it was almost as if he wanted to burn a hole through her body. ¡®I know this woman is always wanting to make me leave. Hmph! I won¡¯t leave,¡® thought Gilbert. He gritted his teeth and quietly went to the kitchen. The kitchen was neat and clean, almost as if they had never cooked in it. However, the fridge was stocked with various foods and ingredients. Gilbert grabbed a few eggs and a piece of lean meat. He had never cooked spaghetti before. However, he had seen a tutorial of it the previous time he cooked, so he still remembered the steps. He tied the apron and started preparing the ingredients. needed. Kisa was able to see Gilbert cooking from the corner she was sitting. ¡®Aside from the things he¡¯s done, Gilbert truly looks like a family man right now,¡® she thought. Jensen followed her gaze and nced at Gilbert. He smiled, ¡°Gilbert¡¯s changed quite a bit. He can even cook now.¡± ¡°No matter how much he¡¯s changed, he¡¯s still cold, moody, and heartless.¡± Jensen noticed the resentment in her tone and stopped talking. He continued treating her wound quietly. Since Kisa had scraped arge part of her arm, it needed to be disinfected. Besides that, the wound also had to be cleaned thoroughly. He took out a cotton swab and sprayed it with alcohol. ¡°I¡¯ll be disinfecting it now. Bear with me,¡± he said. Kisa nodded but continued staring at the kitchen. When Gilbert came out with the cooked spaghetti, he saw Jensen wrapping Kisa¡¯s wound with a bandage. Seeing how Jensen had meticulously wrapped the bandage perfectly and even tied a nice little knot, Gilbert felt awful.

However, he had to admit that Jensen was better than him this time. ¡®Jensen knows how to do everything. He¡¯s even able to bandage a wound this meticulously. Meanwhile, I can¡¯t even cook properly. Whatever. I¡¯m going to stop thinking about it. The more I think about it, the more awful I feel,¡® thought Gilbert. He quietly set the spaghetti on the dining table and called the children over to eat. Andrew went beside him and whispered, ¡°Daddy, Ma¡¯am seems to be in a lot of pain. She even cried just now.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Gilbert felt even worse after hearing Andrew¡¯s words. ¡®This woman had never cried in pain in front of me. However, she never suppresses her emotions in front of Jensen. Hah¡­ This must be the difference between the way she treats Jensen and me,¡® he thought. Andrew did not know what was going on in her father¡¯s head. She grabbed his father¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Daddy, you¡¯ll have to coax Ma¡¯am after Uncle Jensen leaves. That way, she¡¯ll surely still like you.¡± Ada nodded beside her, ¡°Andrew¡¯s right. Daddy, you need to be like Uncle Jensen. Smile a little more gently. Then Ma¡¯am will stop asking you to leave.¡± ¡®Even if I learn to smile gently like Jensen, I¡¯ll never be Jensen. She¡¯ll also never smile nor treat me nicely and pleasantly,¡® Gilbert thought self¨Cdepreciatingly. ¡°It¡¯s done,¡± Jensen said as he put away the medical kit. Then, he said to Kisa earnestly, ¡°For the next few days, don¡¯t get water on your wound. You should also be careful when you¡¯re shooting.¡± Kisa nodded and turned to Gilbert. ¡°What¡¯re you still doing here? You¡¯re done making the spaghetti. Why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± she urged. Gilbert pursed his lips and did not respond. His expression darkened once again. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Andrew ate his spaghetti quietly as he carefully observed their expressions. A momentter, he said to Gilbert, ¡°Daddy, I¡¯m thirsty. Could you please get me some water?¡± Gilbert did not answer and went to get a ss of water. However, Kisa did it before he could. She ced the ss of water in front of Andrew before turning to Gilbert icily, ¡°My house is small, and you¡¯ve seen all of it, so you really can leave now. If you¡¯re worried about the children, you could also take them with you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be like that, Ma¡¯am,¡± Ada immediately pouted while looking at Kisa with a wronged expression. Since Kisa could not bear the wronged looks of the children, she quickly shifted her gaze onto Gilbert. Regardless, her gaze remained icy. Gilbert¡¯s fists by his sides were gripped tightly. Hah. Is my presence really such an eyesore to her?¡® Gilbert thought. ¡°Kisa, if he wants to stay for a while, just let him stay. It¡¯s been a while since the three of us got together.¡± ¡°He and I have no reason to be near each other,¡± Kisa said disdainfully, Jensen pursed his lips and did not respond. He calmly grabbed a ss and poured himself some water. He moved around the house so casually; it was a tant show of intimacy between him and the woman. Gilbert narrowed his eyes dangerously. Then, he shed a half smile at Jensen, ¡°Kisa and I met a woman called Mia Fallon today. She was with a child named ke Kooper. You know them, right? Jensen?¡± Jensen paused from drinking his water. He replied indifferently, ¡°I know them. They¡¯re very special friends of mine.¡± ¡°Friends?¡± Gilbert chuckled. ¡°Just friends, really?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 338 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 338 Chapter 338 Don¡¯t Give Affection to The Wrong This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.

Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s funny how you¡¯re asking him in such an interrogating tone?¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth angrily. ¡®This damn woman. She¡¯s always defending Jensen, even when this is between him and me!¡® he thought. Jensen smiled coolly before turning to Kisa, ¡°It¡¯s alright. Let him ask me.¡± The atmosphere in the room was getting more and more ufortable. Andrew quickly finished his spaghetti. Then, he turned to Jensen and asked sweetly, ¡°Uncle Jensen, do you also live nearby? I¡¯d like to visit your house. Would that be alright? Jensen ced the ss down with a smile, ¡°Of course. I live right across.¡± Then, he stood up and left with Andrew¡¯s hand in his. ¡°I wanna go too,¡± Ada quickly took herst bite and ran up to them. All of a sudden, only Kisa and Gilbert were left in the house. One had an icy expression, while the other had a face filled with rage. Kisa crossed her arms on her chest and leaned on the cupboard. She urgently wanted to make this man leave. However, he was stuck like glue and would not leave no matter what. ¡®I never should¡¯ve trusted this man. I genuinely thought he¡¯d leave after taking one look,¡® she thought. Gilbert took a deep breath and shed her an icy smile, The woman we met today, don¡¯t you suspect her rtionship with Jensen?¡± ¡®Regardless, she trusts Jensen way too much. She loves him so much that she isn¡¯t suspicious of him at all,¡® he thought. Kisa snorted, ¡°Since when did Mr. Kooper be such a busybody? It doesn¡¯t matter what rtionship they share because it¡¯s none of your business! Isn¡¯t that so?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s none of my business,¡± Gilbert walked up to her. He stared at her cold expression and said sardonically, ¡°I was merely reminding you not to give your affection to the wrong person.¡± Hearing Gilbert¡¯s words made Kisa feel preposterous. ¡®He¡¯s reminding me not to give my affection to the wrong person? I gave the wrong person my affection years ago¡ª him. Yet he¡¯s here reminding me? How ironic,¡® Kisa thought. She suppressed the sorrow she felt before turning to him coldly, ¡® Gilbertughed. Suddenly, he reached out and trapped her between himself and the cupboard. She felt panicked and irritated by the feeling of his warm breath on her face. She rejected this feeling. ¡°This is my house. If you don¡¯t leave now, I¡¯m calling the cops!¡± ¡°Your house?¡± Gilbert snorted. ¡°I¡¯m your husband. Do you think calling the cops would work?¡± ¡°We¡¯re divorced!¡± Kisa reminded him angrily. ¡°Divorced?¡± Gilbert smiled sardonically. Then, he gazed at her icily, ¡°You haven¡¯t atoned for your sins. Did you really think I¡¯d let you go?¡± Kisa promptly felt her heart sink. ¡®This is his second time indirectly denying that we¡¯ve divorced. Well, I did only sign the divorce papers previously. Who knows if he went through the entire process of getting a divorce?¡® thought Kisa. At this thought, Kisa felt her heart sink further. She gazed at him coldly, ¡°And the divorce papers¡­¡± ¡°I ripped it apart!¡± ¡°What?¡± Kisa asked furiously. ¡°What do you mean you ripped it apart? You were the one who wanted a divorce!¡± ¡°I suddenly changed my mind.¡± Gilbert stared down at her with a ruthless gaze and smile, ¡°You¡¯re a sinner.

You want me to atone for my sins by your side; I also want you to regret what you did. Since you¡¯re not willing to forgive me, neither will I!¡± ¡®How could I possibly forget about my blood feud with this man? That unbreathing child that had turned purple will always be the hurdle we can never ovee in this life,¡® thought Kisa. Kisa red at the man in front of her hatefully. The hate in her eyes could ruin the heavens. Meanwhile, Gilbert did not get angry when he saw the intense hatred in Kisa¡¯s eyes. On the other hand, he started smiling sinisterly. Suddenly, he lowered his head and whispered the most ruthless words in the gentlest tone, ¡°Kisa Becker, I won¡¯t rest until you¡¯re dead!¡± Kisa stared back at him with bloodshot eyes, goes for me!¡± ¡°The same Gilbert smiled coldly and got off her before promptly changing the topic. ¡°I¡¯ll¡­ I¡¯ll be staying here tonight.¡® Kisa gritted her teeth angrily. Meanwhile, Gilbert smiled slightly, ¡°I¡¯m your husband, so others won¡¯t say anything about us sharing a room, right?¡± Kisa was so angry that she was speechless. ¡®I¡¯ll never trust this man ever again,¡® she thought. However, the angrier Kisa got, the wider Gilbert¡¯s smile grew. Nevertheless, his gaze wavered when he saw her wounded arm. ¡®I¡¯m fully aware that this woman hates me to the bone, yet I still feel a little upset when I see her get hurt. How ironic and contradictory,¡® thought Gilbert Then, he turned around to clear the dishes on the table. He moved around so naturally; it was almost as if he were in his own house. Meanwhile, Kisa gritted her teeth so hard they were about to break. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡®If I could turn into a vicious beast, I would swallow this man whole,¡® she thought.

Why is heing to a shabby ce like this to cook spaghetti and do dishes. when he can stay in his vi?¡® wondered Kisa. Outside, the wind started to rage once more. Fall had finally set in, and the cold breeze grew even more chilly. Jensen stood up and went to shut the windows. Then, he turned to the children with a smile, ¡°Aren¡¯t you two going to bed yet?¡± Andrew shook his head before shifting his gaze to the storybooks on the bookshelf. He asked curiously, ¡°Uncle Jensen, why do you have storybooks here? Aren¡¯t storybooks for children? Do you have children?¡± Jensen nced at the row of storybooks on the bookshelf; he could not help but think of ke¡¯s face. Then, his gaze gradually softened. He had bought the storybooks for ke. However, he did not have the time to give them to him yet. He turned to Andrew and Ada, ¡°Shall I tell you two a story?¡± Andrew nodded, and Ada followed suit. Jensen got up a took a book from the shelf. Then, he suddenly turned to them, ¡°Who told you all that I¡¯m your uncle?¡± ¡°Daddy, of course!¡± Andrew said in a natural tone. ¡°Daddy said you¡¯re his big brother, which makes you our uncle.¡± Jensen pursed his lips as a mixture of emotions shed across his dark eyes. Dark thoughts shed in his mind. ¡®Gilbert is the true heir of the Kooper family. He¡¯s a gifted child, and what¡¯re you? You¡¯re nothing but a pitiful child that they had picked up. You¡¯re just disposable trash to them!¡® ¡®Hah! Younger brother? You see Gilbert as your younger brother, but did Gilbert ever see you as his older brother?

Uncle Jensen¡­¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 340 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 340 Chapter 340 Makes Anyone¡¯s Imagination Run Wild Andrew¡¯s voice immediately pulled back his train of thought. He hid the malice and dark thoughts within his eyes. He then turned around while holding a storybook. A gentle smile came up to his handsome face. ¡°Let uncle Jensen tell you both a story,¡± He sat in the middle of the sofa while both kids sat by his side separately. They proceeded to listen to his storytellingfortably. Ada even felt like dozing off when listening to it. She held onto Jensen¡¯s arm, her smile making beautiful crescents. below her brow, ¡± Uncle Jensen, you¡¯re so nice. You¡¯re just as nice as my dad. Ada really likes you. Will youe to y with Ada more often in the future?¡± Jensen stared earnestly at the smile on her tiny face, and for a moment, he was stunned. The child¡¯s smile looked precisely like Kisa¡¯s when she was younger. He gently caressed her tiny head and replied, ¡°Alright, uncle Jensen¡¯s ce will always be wee to you and Andrew. Meanwhile, on Kisa¡¯s side, she was still mad at Gilbert . Gilbert had already entered the bathroom to shower, treating the ce as his own home. Kisa crossed her arms. before her chest while sitting on the sofa, her face livid from the anger. When Gilbert walked out of the bathroom, he had only a piece of towel upon his waist. He bared his solid and powerful upper body while staring at her emotionlessly, ¡± You have any pajamas?¡± ¡°No!¡± Kisa, through gritted teeth, spitted out one single word. The detest on her face was for all to see. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Gilbert acted as if he didn¡¯t see anything and pulled a smile from his lips, ¡°Alright then!¡± After a while, someone knocked on the door. Assuming it was the two kids returning, she immediately went to open the door. Instead, standing at the entrance was Davian. ¡°Ma¡¯am, I¡­ I came here to bring Mr. Kooper his clothes!¡± Hearing his words, Kisa almost keeled over in rage. She already hated that Gilbert was staying around here. His moronic assistant incredibly came to send him his clothes like a suck¨Cup. Why? Does he n to permanently stay here? Kisa gave Davian a cold stare. Davian quivered in shock, his voice much smaller than before,¡± I¡­ I¡¯m only here to deliver clothes. Once the delivery isplete, I will leave.¡± Kisa had given up on conversing with Davian and stretched out her arms to close the door. Davian immediately held the door open and rushed into the room toward Gilbert, ¡± Mr. Kooper, Mr. Kooper. I¡¯vee here to deliver your clothes.¡± Upon ending the sentence, Gilbert had already walked in. He stood behind Kisa bare¨Cchested. His tall frame looked like he was holding petite Kisa in his arms. This scene could genuinely make anyone¡¯s imagination run wild. Davian stared bug¨Ceyed with his face flushed, ¡°Ah, both of you¡­ you both are¡­¡± Stopping mid¨Csentence, he gave a silly yet dubious smile. Kisa clenched her teeth and sneered, ¡± Stop your nonsensical thinking; he and I did nothing. || ¡°Mhm, I understand, I understand!¡± Davian nodded his head, but his smile grew dubious. Kisa rolled her eyes. She then chose to instead turn back around and enter the house. She could not bother to ignore them. Gilbert gave Davian a few orders and proceeded to bring his clothes in. Kisa saw that the bag was huge and filled to the brim. She coldly spoke, ¡± Didn¡¯t you say you were staying for one night? What is the meaning of this?¡± ¡°I said I¡¯m staying here for the night, but I didn¡¯t say for only one night,¡± Gilbert corrected her without skipping a beat. Kisa saw him take out hisptop, making her so angry she lost all disposition. She sarcastically eximed, ¡± You don¡¯t loathe or feel disgusted by me? Why do you insist on staying under the same roof as I am? Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s revolting?¡± Gilbert lifted his gaze and nced at her. He spoke indifferently, ¡± If I don¡¯t keep my eye on you, how will I be able to supervise your progress for atonement? Don¡¯t tell me I should indulge you by letting you spend your days carefree and happy?¡± After saying it, he looked at the three rooms avable in the house, ¡± Which room do I stay in?¡± Kisa could not speak from her clenched teeth but suddenly thought of an important question. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 341 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 341 Chapter 341 This Counts as a Legitimate Transaction She coldly looked at Gilbert, ¡± Was it you that forced Lea to move away?¡± Currently, it was looking more and more suspicious. Why did Lea suddenly tell her that a friend wasing over after Gilbert had spoken to her privately? What made it more questionable was once Lea left, he immediately said he would live here. Facing her cold suspicion, Gilbert spoke leisurely, ¡°I gave her a million dors to take temporary residence outside for a few days.¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You¡¯re despicable!¡± Kisa spat. Gilbert suddenly burst out inughter, ¡± Me despicable? Heh, think about it yourself. We are sitting here as husband and wife. Do you think letting a third party be present would be suitable? Besides, I have her a million dors. She was happy too; this counts as a legitimate transaction.¡± The anger in Kisa¡¯s heart could not be described. No wonder Lea still spoke cheerfully to him despite clearly being afraid of him. Turns out Gilbert gave her a million dors. She had put money before their friendship. The more Kisa thought about it, the tighter her teeth clenched. Gilbert stared at her furious expression and asked again, ¡°Which room do I stay in?¡± She still would not speak. Gilbert shrugged his shoulders. nonchntly. He then picked up his baggage and walked to the room with the most sun. Seeing him walk right into her room, Kisa could not sit still any longer and growled at him, ¡± You, you¡­ you stay next door!¡± There was an empty room right next to her that was initially used as a guest room. As for Lea, she lives opposite hers. Gilbert picked up his luggage and walked into the guest room. Even though no one had used the guest room before, it was clean and tidy, with the bed sheetsid. It looked simple, yet the weing feeling was not lost. Gilbert opened the cupboards and casually hung his clothes and belongings into them. Kisa watched his actions from time to time. Her squinted eyes filled with ice¨Ccold rage. She had never seen such a shameless man before. In the past, she only knew him as a vtile, ruthless, and heartless man. Gilbert¡¯s ability for shamelessness has given her a new perspective toward him. After he entered the room, he did note out of it anymore. Kisa tried her best to calm the anger in her chest. She decided to let things be, and just treat Gilbert as an invisible man. As she tried tofort herself, she stood up to go to the bathroom. The bathroom still contained the dirty clothes that Gilbert had left there. From whatever angle she saw it, it stood out like a sore thumb. She stretched out her legs and kicked his clothes to a corner in disgust. Just as she turned around, she saw Gilbert leaning on the bathroom door frame while crossing his arms. She was startled and furrowed her eyebrows, ¡± Do you not make a sound when walking?¡± Gilbert lightly nced at his clothes in the corner and spoke in a rxed tone, ¡± Or were you doing something sinful yourself?¡± Kisa sarcastically snapped back, ¡°This is my own house. What shameful acts can I perform?¡± Finishing her sentence, she mmed the door with a loud banging sound. Gilbert¡¯s voice came floating through the door, but the words were full of concern for her, ¡°You scraped your arm today. Remember to not let moisture touch it.¡± However, in this current state, his words of concern seemed entirely fake in her ears. She sneered, ¡°I don¡¯t need your phony reminders.¡± Gilbert¡¯s lips twitched, and he stopped talking. He leaned on the door and started to smoke. After a long while, the bathroom door handle made a sound. Gilbert quickly put out his cigarette butt and stood up straight. He then saw Kisa walk out carrying steam with her. Kisa had only a towel wrapped around her body. Her fair skinny shoulders still had vapor on them. Her slightly wet hair stuck to her forehead and face with cheeks flushed somewhat. Gilbert stared at her intensely; an unknown heat started to build up within him. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 342 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 342 Chapter 342 Never Seen a Woman Shower Before? Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Kisa would never have thought in a million years that Gilbert would be standing by the door outside. Since there were usually no men in the house, she would only wrap herself in a towel after showering for convenience¡¯s sake. Hence, she had forgotten to bring her clothes in just now. Shockingly, she was Gilbert staring at her with fire in his eyes. Her heart skipped a few beats. However, she swiftly chucked sarcastically, ¡± Why? What¡¯s up with that expression? Never seen a woman shower before?¡± Gilbert¡¯s lips pulled into a smile and closed in on her. He cornered her in between a dimple in the wall and his chest. His hot breath was filled with unkind words, ¡± Have you been in this state in front of Jensen before?¡± Kisa grinned coldly. Her smile was slightly bewitching as she spoke softly, ¡°Why don¡¯t you guess?¡± Gilbert actually hated her alluring state yet could not bring himself to admit that she was enchanting in this state. The heat in his body was clearly starting to build up. He gazed intensely at her and bent his head down to kiss her on the lips. Kisa twisted her face away, and Gilbert¡¯s lips instantly touched her cheeks. He lightly pushed away from her but could see the disgust crawl up her expression. His hands by his side clenched. Had the person before her been Jensen, would she have dodged him like that? Would she still have that disgusted look for him?¡± He huffed coldly and spoke chilly, ¡°Don¡¯t get it misconstrued. I¡¯m just warning you. Never forget your status. Before weplete our divorce, you had better not fool around with Jensen!¡± Gilbert would always think of her as the worst and even thought of Jensen as just as despicable. She sneered, ¡°Jensen is much more decent than you can ever be. You think everyone is just like you.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Gilbert smiled non¨Cdenial while his gaze was cold, ¡± You must know him very well.¡± Upon saying this, he pulled his gaze away from her to enter the bathroom. When he emerged again, a bunch of dirty clothes was in his arms. Some were his, and some were hers, including the inner garments¡­ Her expression fell,¡± What are you doing?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not doing anything. I¡¯m going to wash the clothes,¡± Gilbert answered. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to wash them. Just wash your own,¡® Kisa said while snatching her clothes back. Just then, someone suddenly knocked on the door. The kids must have returned this time. She did not have time to entangle with Gilbert anymore and rushed to open the door. However, halfway there, Gilbert quickly picked up a parka from the sofa andid it on her body. She scrunched her brows but only saw his sneer, ¡± Why? You want him to see your enchanting out¨Cof¨C water state?¡± His voice was full of sarcasm. Kisa coldly stared at him. She then ignored him and proceeded to open the door. As the door swung open, there stood Jensen by the door. In both his arms were Ada and Andrew. Ada and Andrew held onto his neck and were asleep in his arms. She quickly took over Ada from him,¡± I¡¯m so sorry, they¡¯re asleep, and I had to burden you with sending them here.¡± ¡°No problem, they¡¯re my niece and nephew, after all. I wanted to let them sleep at my ce, but I was worried they weren¡¯t used to it,¡± Jensen said and lifted his gaze to see Kisa and Gilbert. One was in pajamas, while the other was in a parka with only a single towel under it. From the looks of it, it seemed that they had ¡®exercised¡® and finished showering. Worried that Jensen would misunderstand, Kisa hurriedly exined, ¡°We didn¡¯t do anything. Besides, he was the one who would not leave, I¡­¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 343 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 343 Chapter 343 He Would Wash Clothes for Her Before she could finish, Gilbert smiled, ¡± Don¡¯t think you your exnation is redundant? We are husband and wife. Even if we did something, Jensen wouldn¡¯t find it a problem, right, brother?¡± Gilbert looked at Jensen questioningly. Jensen nodded in response with a light smile, ¡°Right!¡± Gilbert took Andrew from Jensen¡¯s arms and suddenly said to Jensen, ¡± Ada and Andrew have never taken the initiative to get close to anyone before, except you and Kisa.¡± Jensen smiled, ¡°Really? They really like me, though. Seems like it¡¯s my honor.¡± After Jensen said this, he looked at Kisa, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. I¡¯ll go home and rest. You rest early as well.¡± Kisa nodded her head and watched his silhouette. A feeling of guilt crept on her. ¡®I keep saying I want to take my vengeance on Gilbert, so Jensen¡¯s doing his utmost to help me. But here I am, looking as if I¡¯m up to no good with Gilbert. Jensen must be very disappointed with me right now. Putting Jensen aside, she was disappointed with herself at this moment as well. Since returning to Calthon, she had exacted her retribution on Carolyn and Sharon. However, she could not even lift a finger toward Gilbert. She had been held in the palm of Gilbert¡¯s hand the wholeProperty of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. time. Kisa stared at Jensen¡¯s back and opened her mouth. She tried to think of something to say, but Gilbert was a step faster and spoke first. Gilbert casually told Jensen, Despite our rtionship not being the same as it used to be, I want to thank you regarding the kids.¡± Jensen smirked a little and, without turning back, spoke, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say I was their uncle?¡± It that¡¯s the case, there is no need to thank me.¡± After saying this, Jensen went back into his house. Even though Kisa hated Gilbert, she did not have any time to quarrel with him. She immediately took the sleeping children back into their rooms one by one. When she came out of the room, she found out that Gilbert had finished washing the clothes and was putting out her underwear to dry out on the balcony. Instantly, she felt all the blood rush to her head, and her cheeks flushed red. ¡°You pervert! How dare you dry my clothes yourself!¡± Saying this, she rushed to snatch her underwear from his hands. Gilbert looked at her flushed face, bewildered, ¡°The clothes are done washing. Why shouldn¡¯t I dry them?¡± Kisa bit back coldly, ¡°Either you go back to your room and sleep this instant, or I get out of this house!¡± Gilbert pulled his lips into a smile and kept quiet. He gave in and went back to his room. Kisa leaned on the windowsill by the balcony. Her nose was itchy from the rage, and she had an unknown feeling of frustration as her eyes grew blurry. She bit her lower lip and saw the bright neon light outside her house. She asked herself repeatedly, ¡®How am I going to take my revenge on Gilbert? How am I going to let this man get a taste of all the pain I¡¯ve endured?¡® However,ter on, when Gilbert was truly overwhelmed with agony, she would discover that she had been wrong about everything all along! The next morning, Kisa woke up slowly and found her bedside empty. She was shocked and rushed out of the room quickly, to only find the kids sitting by the dining table eating breakfast. Her anxious heart was instantly calmed. Due to all the issues caused by these two brats, Gilbert would not leave her alone. Hence, whenever the kids disappeared from her side, she always felt particrly anxious. ¡°Aunt Kisa, Andrew, and I were afraid of waking you up, so we crept out ourselves.¡± ¡°Mhm¡­¡± Kisa nodded and searched for Gilbert¡¯s figure around the house. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 344 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 344 Chapter 344 Between Spaghetti and Sandwiches In her mind, she thought, ¡®I hope he¡¯s finally left.¡® However, just as she thought of it, she saw him bring out two bowls of spaghetti from the kitchen. Her cheerful mood in the early morning immediately disappeared. She had a grim face while entering the bathroom. Upon entering the bathroom, she was furious beyond belief. The basin contained many other extra household supplies. There were towels, toothpaste, a toothbrush, a cup, and even a razor! ¡®Hmph, is this shameless man treating this ce as his own house?¡® As she clenched her teeth in anger, Gilbert appeared suddenly by the door. ¡°Come out for breakfast.¡± Kisa ignored him and only sshed her face with cold water. Her rage had to be calmed, or it would affect her emotions during filmingter. When she emerged, Gilbert sat by the dining table reading the newspaper. The two tes of spaghetti were untouched. It seems he was waiting for her to dine together. She had no idea what tricks Gilbert had up his sleeve. he Despite being clearly disgusted with her to the core, had woken up early to make breakfast for her. He even sat there waiting for her to have breakfast together. Heh, no one would believe her if she imed this man was sane. Kisa acted as if she did not see him and walked back into the room to get a change of clothes. By the time she had finished changing her clothes, Ada and Andrew had finished their meals. She smiled at both kids and asked, ¡± Do you guys want Auntie to send you to school or let daddy send you to school? Before the two kids could skip, Gilbert answered casually, ¡± I¡¯ll fetch them. Come here and finish your breakfast. The pasta is getting cold.¡± ¡°Eat it yourself, then. I¡¯m not hungry,¡± Kisa replied. Gilbert furrowed his brows and huffed coldly,¡± If Jensen cooked the pasta, would you have eaten it?¡± Kisa wasn¡¯t bothered to heed his questions and took her bags while walking toward the door. Just as she opened. the door, she saw Jensen standing outside, breakfast in hand. Gilbert gave out a suddenugh. Theughter was filled with mockery. Kisa ignored his sarcasm and spoke to Jensen, ¡± I¡¯m going to the production set. ¡°I made you sandwiches. You have on the way there,¡± Jensen said. His movements were natural and casual. It seems that he frequently makes breakfast for her. Gilbert stared deeply at Kisa, his hand on the newspaper clenched repeatedly. ¡®No wonder she doesn¡¯t care for the spaghetti I cooked. She¡¯s thinking about the breakfast made by another man! Damn it!¡® Kisa did not even spare as much as a nce at him and took the sandwiches from Jensen¡¯s hand before leaving. Jensen also returned to his own house. || Andrew curled his lips and spoke softly to Gilbert, Daddy, it seems like Madam Kisa doesn¡¯t like spaghetti. She likes sandwiches. Next time, daddy, you should make Madam Kisa a sandwich.¡± Gilbert twitched his lips in self¨Cmockery. Was the issue ever between spaghetti and sandwiches? Even if the situation were reversed, if Jensen made spaghetti and Gilbert made sandwiches, he was sure that Kisa would still choose Jensen¡¯s spaghetti. It was apparent that she was disgusted at him and liked. Jensen. Hence, she would not like whatever he made, and whatever Jensen made would be a treasure to her. Gilbert stared hatefully at the two tes of pasta in front of him. Whatever angle he viewed the situation seemed hriously ironic. In his rage, he wanted to flip the two tes of pasta with his hands. But seeing the kids in front of him, he tried his best to suppress his anger. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Due to being hit by eggs previously, Kisa walked with extra precaution when walking out of the neighborhood. Fortunately, outside the district there were no signs of suspicious people. She bought a newspaper on the way out of the neighborhood. As she expected, the articles in the newspaper were reporting on the matter regarding Lea and her ¡®ndering¡® Sharon and GK Pictures. The article even wrote that she deserved to be hit by eggs. The whole newspaper was filled with negative press about her. Kisa sat in the car while eating her sandwich and flipping through her newspaper. Her face bore no expression. However, just as the car started driving, the driver stepped on the brakes suddenly¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 345 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 345 Chapter 345 Being Blocked by People on the Road Pulled by the momentum, Kisa¡¯s whole body mmed forwards. She rubbed her injured forehead and asked,¡± Chauffeur, what happened?¡± ¡°Uhm¡­¡± The chauffeur hesitantly spoke, ¡°People are blocking the road.¡± ¡°People blocking the road?¡± Kisa moved toward the window, puzzled, and furrowed her brows while looking outside. In hindsight, it would have been better if she had not looked. Once Kisa gazed out, she saw an object fly toward her, which gave her a start. She quickly scrambled back into the car. The thing hit the car window, turning out to be another egg. Before she could react, numerous people approached the vehicle to surround it. The people hurled eggs and rotten vegetables at the car. They were cursing her for her malevolence, shamelessness, and were saying that she should be forced out of the entertainment industry. A few eggs flew into the car, cracking open on the seats and making a big mess. Kisa hurriedly closed the car windows and coldly gazed at her surroundings. The number of people this time was more than previously. It was unknown if the previous crowd had been encouraged by the earlier group. This was the second time. It seemed that Sharon wanted to use this trick to goad the audience into forcing Kisa out of the entertainment industry. If this continued every day, more and more people would follow the trend of throwing eggs at her. ¡®No. I won¡¯t tolerate this anymore.¡® She decided to settle these egg¨Cthrowing incidents once and for all. If Sharon were to use this trick on her every day, she feared she would genuinely be forced out of the entertainment industry for good. The chauffeur was worried and asked, ¡± Miss Kisa, what should we do now?¡± The chauffeur could not drive with so many people surrounding the car. However, being blocked here forever would not work. It was almost time for filming, and Kisa could not let everyone on the production crew wait for her. Even so, the crowd outside was getting rowdier, and their insults were bing more threatening. They were showing no signs of dispersing at all. Kisa bit her lip while a thin sheet of sweat built up on her forehead. She swiftly thought of ns to resolve these issues while her heart filled with anxiety. Suddenly, a thought struck her mind, and she quickly pulled out her phone to call Lea. Her call was instantly connected, and Lea¡¯s voice came from the phone. ¡°Hello, Kisa. Where are you?¡± ¡°I got blocked halfway from the journey¡­¡± Kisa looked outside and spoke seriously, ¡°I¡¯ll send you an address. You need toe here immediately and hide in a less visible area. Then do exactly as I say¡­¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ming right now.¡± Kisa held onto her phone while waiting for any news from Lea in the car. Her heart felt uneasy. She was not sure if the trick would work. Seeing the relentless insanity on the face of the people outside the vehicle, she also felt afraid. However, there was no choice. If Kisa and Lea could not execute this n, then Kisa would genuinely be underplete control by Sharon. Lea should be sitting nearby. Around twenty minutester, Lea sent her a message. [Kisa, I¡¯m here. I¡¯m behind the tree right beside the flowerbed.] Kisa nced at the flowerbed and indeed saw Lea hiding in the shadows. She pursed her lips and spoke to the chauffeur, Chauffeur, I¡¯ll go down for a while. Sit in the car and don¡¯te down no matter what.¡± ¡°Huh? Ms. Kisa. That would not do. They¡¯re¡­¡± The chauffeur could not finish his sentence before Kisa opened the car doors and exited. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Immediately, the crowd maniacally threw their eggs and vegetable leaves. Kisa did not dodge and let the egg whites and yolks stick to her figure. She also did not make a fuss and quietly let the people take their frustration out on her. After a while, when they were tired from tossing, Kisa spoke to the crowd earnestly, ¡°¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 346 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 346 Chapter 346 We Are Innocent ¡°Are all of you still mad? If not, please listen to me quietly.¡± Perhaps, because Kisa behaved calmly, those people looked at her in astonishment without throwing eggs or vegetables. Kisa said loudly, ¡°I allowed all of you to hit me wasn¡¯t because I felt guilty. I just want to prove to everyone; that I¡¯ll definitely take responsibility if I do something wrong. ¡°All of you resist me madly because my assistant and I yed a trick to insult Sharon, which was published in the newspaper a few days ago. I¡¯ll just say my assistant and I are innocent in this incident.¡± A look of sadness and innocence appeared on Kisa¡¯s face after speaking. She knew these people were most likely hired by Sharon. No one would feel touched even if she cried her heart out. The sadness and innocence she showed were not for them. As expected, someone refuted her words immediately. ¡± Humph! You said you¡¯re innocent, but who knows if that¡¯s true? You¡¯re an actor. Stop pretending innocent here.¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Kisa pursed her lips and said sadly, ¡°Please exin what motive I have to nder Sharon?¡± ¡°You insulted her to destroy GK¡¯s reputation and exalt yourself and J & K Film Group!¡± ¡°Do you really think this is a useful way to make myself look better?¡± Kisa looked at everyone with a serious and sincere expression. ¡°J & K Film Group has just been established, and I only want toy a solid foundation in showbiz. ¡°The Legend of Luna¡± is my first y. I keep pondering the screeny every day. I strongly believe I¡¯ll receive affirmation and love from the audience when I act well. ¡°It¡¯s really unnecessary for me to frame Sharon and get myself into trouble. Besides, I do not have time to frame her with such an underhanded method.¡± The crowd fell silent for a while. Suddenly, a woman shouted, ¡°She is an actress who can say or act anything! Guys, don¡¯t be deceived by her! She is evil! She doesn¡¯t deserve the love of audiences! She should get out of showbiz! Get out of showbiz!¡± The woman threw two eggs at Kisa after she spoke. The eggs hit right on her forehead. The eggs shattered, and the yolk and white smeared her face. She looked terrible at this moment. But her calm and steady demeanor could not be underestimated. Kisa raised her hand and wiped away the remaining egg in front of her eyes. She walked toward the woman gradually. Her face full of yolk and white held no expression. Maybe because of guilt, the woman took two steps back in fear. ¡°W¨CWhat are you going to do? Why? A¨CAre you going to beat me?¡± Kisa did not say anything. She just walked closer to her gradually. The woman freaked out and screamed, ¡°Ah! She¡¯s going to beat me! As a public figure, she wants to attack the audience! Ah! Such people are unsuitable to be a celebrity! Several of them agreed with her immediately as she shouted. They might be bribed by Sharon. ¡°That¡¯s right! Such an evil person should not be a celebrity!¡± ¡°Yes! She is vicious! She even disallow the audience to talk about it! She wanted to attack the audience if he or she talked about it! There¡¯s no justice!¡± ¡°Such a person should get out of showbiz!¡± ¡°Agreed! Get out of showbiz! Get out of showbiz immediately!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 347 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 347 Chapter 347 Get Out of Showbiz! A cold light shed through Kisa¡¯s eyes. Suddenly, she cried out of grievance and asked them, ¡°When did I say I¡¯m going to beat her? Did all of you see me doing it?¡± Those people shrank back and kept quiet immediately when they saw Kisa was tearing up. Kisa walked up to the woman and sobbed at her. ¡°Did I me all of you after being attacked with your eggs? I understand I should stay silent as a public figure, even if I¡¯m beaten and scolded by the audience. I¡¯m a defenseless woman. I just want to say something to everyone. But you turned it around and said I want to beat you. Sis, I just want to know. What did I ever do to you? Why do you want to frame me?¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± The woman shook her head in horror. ¡°I didn¡¯t frame you. Stop talking nonsense as if you are the victim.¡± Kisa pursed her lips sadly and said with tears in her eyes, ¡°I know all of you hate me, but I¡¯m just a public figure, not a God. It¡¯s impossible to make everyone love me. While can you change the way to hate me? Throwing eggs and vegetables in the street destroyed the hard work of street cleaners. I wish all of you don¡¯t turn your disgust with me into the hard work of street cleaners, okay?¡± Kisa¡¯s words were heartfelt, and her expression was very innocent and pitiful. Although Sharon hired them to embarrass her, they were speechless. It was still the same woman who shouted, ¡°Stop ying some victim here! An evil person like you sympathizes with the street cleaners? What a joke! You¡¯re an actor. You can act out any expression you want. You should get out of showbiz anyway!¡± ¡°Sis, you keep saying I¡¯m evil. People who don¡¯t know us will think I have done something immoral to you. But in fact, I don¡¯t know you at all.¡± Kisa looked at her aggrievedly. The woman was stunned for a moment. She thought of something quickly and said, ¡°You framed Sharon deliberately! How can a person of your character still be qualified to be a celebrity? Everyone! Make this evil person get out of showbiz together!¡± ¡°Agree! Get out of showbiz!¡± ¡°Get out of showbiz!¡± Suddenly, those who stayed quiet began to go along with this woman. Kisa almost confirmed this woman was the leader of those hired by Sharon at this time. The crowd threw eggs andrge pieces of vegetables at her again until Kisa was covered with egg yolk, egg whites, and vegetables. She stared at those people quietly, and her mind was calm. ¡°Please do it again at another time if all of you¡¯re still Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. mad at me. I have to go to the set now. No matter how much you hate or reject me, I¡¯ll still make the show well without disappointing other audiences who have expectations of me. I have always believed that the best reward for the audience is to make a good show with dedication. So, please let me go, and don¡¯t make mete to the set.¡± Others looked at the woman with inquiring gazes. The woman shouted unnaturally, ¡°How will such an evil person make a good show with dedication? It¡¯s more likely that she framed Sharon with dedication! She is using ¡®I have to go to the set¡® as an excuse to make us let her go. Guys, smash her now! She deserves to be cursed by everyone!¡± Suddenly, those people threw eggs and vegetable leaves at her even fiercely. Kisa bit her lower lip and did not dodge. The more miserable she was, the better for her. Only the car could not move, as these people had blocked her. Kisa gritted her teeth and turned around. She was about to run to another street to take a taxi but did not expect to bump into a firm chest immediately when she turned. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 348 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 348 Chapter 348 Are You Addicted to Hypocrisy? A sense of familiarity came to Kisa. She frowned and raised her head as she saw Gilberting toward her. The crowd continued throwing rotten produce as Gilbert caught Kisa in an embrace, protecting her. However, Kisa was not touched. She sneered instead, ¡± Mr. Kooper, are you addicted to hypocrisy?¡± Gilbert stayed silent as he turned toward the crowd, shouting coldly at those people, ¡°Are you done?¡± The crowd was frightened to a stop by his sudden cold outburst. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. As a public figure, Gilbert is not worried about being smeared or ridiculed by those people even though he threatened them willfully. Gilbert has great personal charisma. Even though he was covered in yolks and rotten vegetables, the crowd did not destroy Gilbert¡¯s noble and cool image. Gilbert put his arms around Kisa and said, ¡°Come with me.¡± ¡°Let go of me! I have to go to the set,¡± said Kisa as she continued to resist Gilbert¡¯s pull. ¡°Set? You do not have to go today. I took time off for you just now.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Oh! Your director really likes me. He kept saying okay without asking a single reason when I took time off for you.¡± kisa gritted her teeth. Her director is Mr. Quillen. He was entric, but he really cherished and loved talented actors with good acting skills. ¡®Maybe because his good acting talent caught Mr. Quillen¡¯s eyes when he acted in a kissing scene with mest time. That¡¯s why Mr. Quillen like him that much. Even so, how could Gilbert take time off for me so freely? I¡¯m in good condition today. Why do I need a day off?¡® Gilbert had pushed her into the car as she thought angrily. He quickly sat in the driver¡¯s seat and locked Kisa¡¯s door immediately when she struggled to get up to open the door. Kisa did not have time to react when the car sped off. It was as if Gilbert was afraid of her getting out of the vehicle. Kisa took a deep breath and looked out the window. She was physically and mentally exhausted as she did not want to quarrel with this man at all. Remembering the reddish eyes he saw on stage while he protected Kisa, Gilbert told Kisa, ¡± You can cry out now if you want to.¡± Kisa held back her tears, expecting Gilbert to rub salt in her wounds. Even if there is something Kisa will cry over, she would never cry in front of him, lest incurring his ridicule. Kisaughed and replied coldly, ¡°You just want to mock me when I am full of tears, right?¡± Gilbert tightened his grip on the steering wheel with a trace of gloom in his eyes. ¡®Of course! She will only cry and be weak in front of Jensen. She is full of thorns, like a hedgehog in front of me, and keeps hurting me.¡® ¡°Where are you taking me?¡± Kisa could not help but ask when she saw the car was driving onto an unfamiliar street. She thought Gilbert was going to take her back to her residence. Gilbert remained silent and seemed to be sulking inexplicably. ¡®What a psychopath!¡® thought Kisa as she turned to look out the window. The vibe in the car was depressing as both continued in silence. Even then, Kisa refused to speak to Gilbert again. After a while, the car gradually stopped as they reached. their destination. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 349 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 349 Chapter 349 I Did Not Peek at You Kisa looked out and saw a three¨Cstory vi in front of her. The view surrounding the vi was amazing, but no one was there. It seemed extremely isted and lonely. Kisa stared at him coldly. ¡°Where am I? Why did you bring me here?¡± Gilbert did not answer. He just snorted lightly and got out of the car. Kisa followed him. Gilbert nced at the mess on the seat. He hummed with a faint smile, ¡°Seems like my car is useless now.¡± Kisa pursed her lips. The ce where she sat was indeed full of yolks, whites, and vegetables. ¡®It was not + me who wanted to get in the car. He was the one who forced me in.¡® Kisa watched Gilbert enter the yard and nced around again. The lonely and silent atmosphere made her feel flustered. She needed to return, but no taxi was in this area. She followed Gilbert hurriedly. ¡°What exactly did you bring me here for?¡± ¡°You¡¯re in such a mess and still do not want to bathe?¡± Gilbert looked at her from top to bottom. His eyes were full of disgust. Kisa gritted her teeth. ¡°It¡¯s unnecessary toe over here. I can clean myself up at the set.¡± This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. ¡°Bathing on set?¡± Gilbert sneered. ¡°Just like thest time you bathed in the impromptu bathroom, which was made. of iron sheets? Kisa, do you purposely want others to look at you when you shower?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Kisa was really mad, but something came over her all of a sudden. She frowned and stared at him, ¡°How did you know I took a shower in the impromptu bathroom on the setst time? Are you¡­¡± ¡°I did not peek at you!¡± Gilbert refuted instantly. His expression became more unnatural upon seeing Kisa¡¯s face, full of suspicion and contempt. Following up with sarcasm, Gilbert replied, ¡°Kisa, stop being self¨Crighteous. Your naked figure does not arouse me. What makes you think I would be happy seeing you in a bath?.¡± Kisa sneered. ¡°Why do you deny it in such a hurry? I did not say you peeked at me when I bathed. I just wanted to ask, ¡®Are you the one who kindly handed me the costume on that day?¡® I did not expect you have such a big reaction. Who knew Mr. Kooper could even have a guilty conscience.¡± Gilbert¡¯s eyes turned cold as he stared at Kisa, full of anger. Kisa smirked. ¡°I also intended to treat the kind person to a meal. Since you are not, I better ask others about it.¡± ¡®Shameless, man! It obviously is you, yet you do not admit it!¡® At this moment, Kisa¡¯s mind was full of contempt and ridicule for him. Hearing her words filled with sarcasm, Gilbert gritted his back teeth and said, ¡°I doubt you are grateful to that person. Are you sure you will not scold that person for peeking at you instead?¡± ¡°That is impossible! He intended to hand me the costumes instead of peeking at me. Mr. Kooper, what do you think?¡± Gilbert snorted with a smirk. Suddenly, he leaned against. her shoulder and pushed her hard against the cab beside the door. Kisa¡¯s back crashed into the cab as she grimaced in pain. ¡°What are you¡­.¡± Trying to punish her for her sarcasm, Gilbert lowered his head and bit Kisa¡¯s lips madly before she couldplete her sentence. Kisa felt a burning pain in her lips immediately as she tasted a little blood in her mouth. Gilbert held onto Kisa tightly even as the hot breath was almost unbearable for Kisa. Her lips hurt so badly she wanted to scream, yet Gilbert persistently bit her hard with his teeth. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 350 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 350 Chapter 350 What Are You, A Dog? Kisa felt angry and aggrieved. She could not believe this man was biting her lips after knowing he could not win with words. She pushed him away with all her strength and sarcastically growled, ¡°What are you, a dog?¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. The man took a few steps back, leaned against the wall, and faced her with a weird smile on his face. Kisa angrily wiped her lips with the back of her hand, and there was blood. ¡®This man is ruthless. Yesterday, it was my arm. Today, my lips. He could never just watch me be well.¡± Gilbert raised his hands and wiped his lips to find the egg white and yolk that came from her mouth. He frowned in disgust and pulled her upstairs without a word. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Kisa pushed him away, repulsed. ¡°Nothing. I¡¯m bringing you to get cleaned up.¡± The expression on Kisa¡¯s face was cold. ¡°What? Are you trying to contaminate my house?¡± Gilbert sneered. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have brought me here, then. I never asked you to bring me here anyway,¡± Kisa replied. ¡°You¡¯d be aughingstock at the set if I didn¡¯t bring you here,¡± he said. Kisaughed at the sound of that. ¡°Speaking of which, I¡¯m in this poor state, all thanks to you. If you didn¡¯t bite back at my assistant and I by publishing the news saying that we framed Sharon, I wouldn¡¯t have lost my reputation and been pelted with eggs and vegetables by the masses. Of course, it¡¯s my fault that I can¡¯t win against you. But could you please stop with the gentlemanly act? It¡¯s repulsive.¡± Gilbert narrowed his eyes grimly. ¡°One more word, and I¡¯ll bite you again.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Gilbert¡¯s eyes darkened, and Kisa could not get a word out of her mouth. She was not afraid of him; she just did not want to have any intimate contact with this man anymore. Although his bite was a punishment, it still felt private. Kisa looked around on the second floor. The vi was unupied, yet it was weirdly clean and tidy. It looked like someone came around often to clean the ce. ¡®This ce should also be under his name, but this is my first time here. Who knows if Sara and Sharon had been here before? When Kisa thought of the possibility that the two women had lived in the vi, she felt anxious and wanted to leave desperately. It was unclear whether Gilbert saw through her panic, but he suddenly voiced out behind her, ¡°I bought this ce. five years ago, yet I only lived here for a while.¡± ¡°¡­ Oh,¡± Kisa replied. She stood in the corridor, and nkly asked him, ¡°Which room should I go to clean myself up?¡± Gilbert did not reply. Instead, he just took her hand and walked toward a room that was located at the end of the corridor. Kisa frowned. She subconsciously wanted to shake his hands away, but she did not want to risk her wrist getting gripped tighter. ¡°Let go of me. I can walk by myself,¡± Kisa said coldly. ¡°You walk too slow,¡± Gilbert replied slowly, raising his hand and pushing the door open. As the door opened, the room was filled with gray and minimalistic furniture, and it looked deserted and deste. It was clear that it fitted this man¡¯s taste. There really was a vast difference between Gilbert and Jensen. Jensen always preferred the room to be warm and inviting. No matter how big the room was, Jensen would fill it with elegant, warm¨Clooking furniture. However, it was the opposite for Gilbert. He preferred cold, gray, and gloomy rooms. Gilbert walked into the bathroom and poured water into the bathtub. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 351 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 351 Chapter 351 A Vile and Depraved Man Seeing Gilbert check the water temperature several times, Kisa could not help but say, ¡°Okay, I can do it myself.

I¡¯ll help you wash it.¡± ¡°No!¡± Kisa immediately put her hands around her chest in a protective gesture, but when she saw the sarcastic look on the man¡¯s face, she felt uneasy. She put her hands down and said coldly, ¡°My arm is injured, not broken I can manage just fine by myself, so get out This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. However, Gilbert did not go out and sat beside the bathtub with his back against the wall, looking at her calmly. Kisa froze. ¡°What is the meaning of this? Do you want to take a wash first? It¡¯s fine if you want to There are so many rooms here that I can go to other rooms and wash up ¡°Come back here!¡± Gilbert stretched out his arm and pulled Kisa over when he saw that she was trying to leave. He pulled so hard that Kisa staggered a few steps and fell into his arms She struggled to get up as she yelled, ¡°Let go of me! I know how to wash myself! Get out! Get out! Get out!!!! Gilbert stared and her and sneered, ¡°I didn¡¯t say you couldn¡¯t do it yourself. I just want to help you wash your hair. Why are you acting like it¡¯s a big deal?¡± Kisa was startled. ¡°Help me wash my hair?¡± She quickly frowned and shook her head. Her expression was cold. ¡°No. I can wash it myself.¡± ¡°How can you wash your hair when your injured arm shouldn¡¯t be touching the water? Are you trying to infect your wound on purpose so you can pretend to be weak and pitiful in front of Jensen?¡± This man never said anything to show that he cared about her. All he would do is act like he cared, or just directly mock and taunt her. ¡®He¡¯s the reason behind the wound on my arm. He¡¯s the reason behind my battered body, but he never once showed any guilt or pity. All he does is pile insult upon insult.¡® Kisa was about to cry when she thought about what she had gone through with Gilbert. She tried her best to suppress the sadness and the pain in her heart, and a cold smile appeared on her face. ¡°Yeah, I want my wound to be infected so I can be weak in front of Jensen. At least he¡¯ll feel sorry for me, unlike you! You¡­ You¡¯ve never once felt sorry for me, and it¡¯s clear that you never will!¡± Gilbert stared at the hatred in her eyes for a long time. Suddenly, he spoke in a soft tone, which was rare. ¡°I won¡¯t look. Go in the bathtub, and I¡¯ll wash your hair after you sit in it.¡± ¡°No!¡± Gilbert was annoyed at Kisa¡¯s stubbornness. He tugged at her cor and said coldly, ¡°We can do this the easy way or the hard way. It¡¯s up to you, but I¡¯m telling you, it only gets worse from here. Do you want me to rip your clothes off and throw you into the bathtub?¡± Kisa was on the verge of tears. She stared at Gilbert with her bloodshot eyes and said, ¡°You¡¯re a lunatic. You¡¯re a pervert. You¡­are a vile and depraved man!¡± Gilbert did not care what she thought of him. He ignored her words and continued, ¡°Are you getting in yourself, or do you want me to do it for you?¡± Kisa had never hated him as much as this before. She red at him, gritted her teeth, and clenched her fists tightly. Gilbert then reached out and pulled her cor when he saw that she was not moving. ¡°I¡¯m going!¡± Kisa pped his hands away and shouted in anger. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 352 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 352 Chapter 352 You¡¯re No Woman In My Eyes Gilbert let go of her after hearing those words. ¡°That¡¯s a good girl. Nothing will happen to you if you obey.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes were red with anger as tears were welling up. ¡°Stop acting like I¡¯m bullying you. You should be thanking me for wanting to help you wash your hair. After all, it¡¯s for your own good.¡± ¡°Wow, how so very kind of you.¡± Kisa snapped sarcastically, gritting her teeth. She would never trust this man¡¯s kindness. Who knows what he was nning behind his actions? ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what you think of me,¡± Gilbert shrugged. After that, he turned his back and said, ¡°Tell me when you¡¯re in the bathtub.¡± Kisa did not respond. Instead, she just stared coldly at his back. After seeing that he was not going to turn around, she took off her dirty clothes bit by bit. She looked at the man defensively while she took everything off. She then hurried into the bathtub as if she was afraid that Gilbert would suddenly turn around. However, she screamed as she slipped and fell on the slippery bathroom floor. ¡°Kisa!¡± Gilbert shouted in shock. He turned around hastily, and his heart sank when he saw that Kisa was on the ground. He quickly rushed over and carried her up. Kisa did not care about the pain her body was in. Instead, her face flushed red, and she said to him in a shy yet angry manner, ¡°Who told you to turn around? Let me go and get out!¡± Kisa struggled to get out of his arms. She was embarrassed that she was naked in his arms. ¡®I hate him. Why did he have to bring me here? I could have gone back to my ce and cleaned myself up.¡® Gilbert ignored her attempt to break free and put her into the bathtub. He also carefully pulled her injured arm out of the tub so that it did not touch the water. When he saw her blushing and the resentful expression on her face, he sneered, ¡°You¡¯re no woman in my eyes. It¡¯s not a big deal for me to see you naked. I mean, I¡¯ve seen it before.¡± ¡°You!¡± Kisa gritted her teeth as tears filled up her eyes again. Gilbert was always mean and bitter when he spoke to her. ¡°By the way, the whole thing you nned out for me back then was such a generous move. But now you¡¯re acting like you¡¯re embarrassed? What game are you ying, woman?¡± Kisa stopped talking at the sound of that. She bit her lip and clenched her fists. On the other hand, Gilbert nced at her and walked to the end of the bathtub. He sat on the ground and pulled her up so she could lean against the edge of the tub. This time, Kisa stayed quiet and did not resist. She knew it would be useless to resist because no matter what, Gilbert would only view her as pretentious. Kisa¡¯s hair was all stuck and covered in raw eggs. It was messy and dirty. Gilbert briefly rinsed her hair with water and used ab tob her hair gently. She did not have a lot of hair, but it was also not little. It was long and soft. The ck hair made her neck look fair. Gilbert seemed to like Kisa¡¯s hair a lot since he focused on carefullybing it. It took quite a while for him tob out her hair. He then shampooed it and began scrubbing. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. During this process, Kisa never spoke a word, but tears inexplicably flowed down her cheeks. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 353 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 353 Chapter 353 He Washed Her Hair Kisa did not care that her tears were falling down her cheeks with her back facing Gilbert. She could feel the gentleness of the man behind her, but she did not understand why the man who hated her so much could be so gentle and caring all of a sudden. ¡®If he isn¡¯t nning something, he must be using me as a substitute for Sara,¡® she thought. She took a deep breath and tried her best to say in a calm tone, ¡°Don¡¯t expect me to be grateful to you for treating me well right now. Like I said, I won¡¯t rest until you¡¯re dead.¡± There was so much hatred between them that it was not something that could be settled until death. Suddenly, Gilbert asked an irrelevant question, ¡°Would you have refused if Jensen wanted to wash your hair like this?¡± Kisa frowned. ¡®Why does he keep mentioning Jensen in the weirdest moments? Why does he keep comparing himself with him?¡± In her opinion, there was nothing topare between them. The assumptions made by Gilbert were inexplicable, so she chose not to answer. Gilbert started to chuckle at the assumption that Kisa¡¯s silence meant she would not have refused. He continued to focus on shampooing her hair which took more than half an hour. After washing her hair, Gilbert checked her injured arm. The gauze that was dressing her wound was stained from the eggs, which caused an unpleasant smell. He then took a pair of scissors and carefully cut the gauze. He could not help but frown when he saw therge dark red wound on her arm. The wound had not healed yet. It was still bloody and looked terrifying. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Kisa stared at the solemn expression Gilbert had on his face and sneered, ¡°Every injury I ever had is all thanks to you. This one right here is nothingpared to the burns on my back Don¡¯t you think that it¡¯s fake of you to make such an ufortable expression?¡± Gilbert stayed quiet and walked out of the bathroom. Kisa was happy when she thought that he was mad at her. But not long after, Gilbert returned with a first¨Caid kit in his hand. ¡°What kind of game are you ying, Gilbert? If you think that I would forget what you¡¯ve done to me all those years just because you¡¯re being kind to me now, you¡¯re wrong,¡± Kisa hissed at him when he came closer. ¡°Oh, I don¡¯t want you to forget. You¡¯d better carve all those years of hatred into your mind,¡± Gilbert sneered as he looked at her coldly. ¡®If there¡¯s no love to remember, hate is fine. It just means that she still has me in her heart and that it isn¡¯t only filled with Jensen,¡® he thought. Kisaughed in anger. Her whole being was about to copse at the hands of Gilbert¡¯s erratic behavior. ¡°Since we hate each other so much, why are you washing my hair and treating my wound? Aren¡¯t your words contradicting your actions?¡± ¡®She¡¯s right, that¡¯s contradictory of me,¡¯ Gilbert thought, amused. Even he could not figure out how to exin himself. The closest exnation he coulde up with was: ¡®I hope she can live a good life and not get injured, so that I can keep retaliating against her.¡® Gilbert did not speak. Instead, he took her injured arm and used an alcohol¨Cdipped cotton swab to disinfect her wound. The stinging caused Kisa to grimace in pain and grit her teeth for thest few seconds. When Gilbert nced at her, he thought of what Andrew had said yesterday. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 354 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 354 Chapter 354 He Deliberately Hurt Her she Andrew told Gilbert that Kisa had cried in pain in front of Jensen. But at this moment, showed no signs of crying. ¡®Could it be that she refuses to show me weakness and only cries in front of Jensen?¡® When he thought of it, a sullen look appeared in Gilbert¡¯s eyes, and his grip unconsciously became stronger. ¡°Ah!¡± Gilbert heard Kisa scream. ¡°You did that on purpose!¡± Kisa roared. Gilbert stared into her eyes which were filled with resentment. There was no trace of tears there. He pursed his lips, lowered his head, and continued to disinfect her wound. ¡°Stop it. I¡¯ll do it myselfter,¡± Kisa said as she withdrew her arm in anger. ¡®I can¡¯t believe I actually thought he was trying to be kind. Turns out, he just wanted me to be in pain,¡¯ she thought. ¡®I knew he¡¯d never have any good intentions.¡± This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Gilbert was furious when he saw the hatred and wariness in Kisa¡¯s eyes. Before leaving the bathroom, he knocked over the first¨Caid kit and said, ¡°Suit yourself!¡± Kisa had wanted him gone for a long time. She felt her whole body rx after he went out. She took the body wash and soaped everywhere but the wound until there was no smell of eggs on her body. When she got out of the bathtub, she realized she had a problem she had no clothes. She looked around the bathroom to only find a towel on the handrail. But when she thought of how the man outside had used the towel, her heart was full of resistance. At that moment, the man¡¯s voice sounded outside the bathroom door, ¡°There¡¯s a bathrobe at the door for you. It¡¯s new.¡± Kisa sighed in relief when she heard thest two words. She opened a small gap at the door and reached out to grab the bathrobe. She then put it on and walked out of the bathroom. That was when she saw Gilbert leaning against the window while smoking a cigarette. She saw that he had already taken a shower and was also wearing a bathrobe. His hair was slightly damp and messy. Kisa stared at Gilbert coldly and asked, ¡°When will you drive me home?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the rush? You¡¯re not filming anything else today anyway.¡± ¡®What kind of logic is this? Just because I don¡¯t have a shoot today, is he not going to drive me home? Besides, being in the same room with him is making me ufortable.¡® Kisa nced around the room and decided to go into the bathroom again, intending to wash her dirty clothes and change into them later. ¡®It would be inappropriate for me to wear this bathrobe the entire time I¡¯m here,¡® she thought. However, when she entered the bathroom, she could not find her dirty clothes anywhere. Suddenly, Gilbert appeared at the door. ¡°Your clothes are too dirty to wear anymore, so I threw them away.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll have someone send over a new outfitter. You should get some rest.¡± After finishing speaking, Gilbert left the bathroom, and Kisa let out a sigh of relief. ¡®I¡¯ll be fine as long as I¡¯m not in the same ce with him,¡® she reassured herself. As Kisa thought of the egging incident earlier, she quickly grabbed her phone to reply to Lea¡¯s text. [Kisa, I¡¯ve gotten the video. When should we post it?] [Just wait for my signal.] Kisa quickly replied. After that, she scrolled through the entertainment news from today. Sure enough, the incident where she was pelted with eggs was trending. The news article also attached several GIFs of Kisa with a calm expression on her face walking toward the woman who looked afraid. It was clear that the GIF was strategically edited. Those who did not know about the incident would think that Kisa was the one who threw the eggs at the woman just by looking at it. It was also obvious that the news outlet took the incident as an opportunity to stir things up. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 355 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 355 Chapter 355 Thumbing Her Nose at Everyone She was used of being vicious, unrepentant, defying the audience¡¯s boycott, and trying to attack them. She was even mmed for being snooty and disrespecting the viewers. The article even called the public to kick her out of show business. Kisa scrolled down thements again, and as expected, it was a uniform voice of castigation. {She is trying to attack the audience and thumbing her nose at everyone, isn¡¯t she?] [Someone like her doesn¡¯t deserve to be an actress.

She is a disgrace.) [I used to feel sorry for her being pelted with eggs because I thought she had done nothing atrocious. I genuinely think she deserves it. Why couldn¡¯t shemunicate with the viewers nicely instead of trying to attack them?] [We won¡¯t watch any of her dramas!] [Absolutely. Let¡¯s boycott her dramas together. We won¡¯t watch any of her works. She better get out of the show business. It¡¯s disgusting to watch!] ¡ª Kisa read those hatements with a calm face. As she expected, more and more viewers were getting swayed by the incident and starting to think that she was the real viin. The inte was indeed a magical and cruel ce. She had done nothing. But because of a few insinuating motion pictures, she became the most wanted person on the inte. Had Kisa not had any preparation, Sharon would have sessfully driven her out of the entertainment industry with the power of the inte. She knew that the entertainment circle was a treacherous ce. Lea sent her another message. [Have you read today¡¯s entertainment headlines? You are under fire from theizens. What should we do now?] Kisa immediately replied. [Send me the video you took today.) Soon, Lea sent her the video she had shot from the dark today. Kisa watched it in its entirety, and when she saw the end, she could not help but frown. Lea had even filmed the scene where Gilbert protected, but it could work in her favor. She thought of something and quickly sent the video to Jensen, then gave Jensen a call. ¡°Is this because of today¡¯s entertainment headline?¡± Jensen¡¯s voice always sounded as cool as a cucumber. Even if he had read the headlines and knew that her reputation and that of the J & K Film Group were at stake, he did not panic. Kisa could not help but admire the man¡¯s mental strength. She said in a deep voice, ¡°I have sent you a video. Get your PR people to post it on the inte with several anonymous ounts and then hire cyber troopers toment on the video, as I said.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Jensen agreed with no hesitation. There was even a smile in his voice. Kisa was puzzled. ¡°A¨CAren¡¯t you worried? Why don¡¯t you ask me what my intentions are for doing this? Do you truly trust me so much?¡± Jensen chuckled. ¡°I trust you can handle this.¡± The man¡¯s unconditional trust in her warmed her heart. In this world, only Jensen would unconditionally tolerate and trust her. If it were Gilbert, he would have viciously berated her if such a thing happened. She cut the thought from her mind and said sincerely, ¡°Thank you, Jensen.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. You get some rest.¡± Kisa frowned after Jensen hung up. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 356 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 356 Chapter 356 So What If She Ruins It ¡®Jensen told me to get some rest. Could it be that he knows I¡¯m not shooting today?¡® On second thought, she thought Lea probably told him about it. When a sneer came from the doorway, Kisa had just put her phone away. She looked over and saw Gilbert leaning against the door with arms folded and mockery on his face. She scoffed, saying, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that Mr Kooper had a fetish for eavesdropping on people¡¯s conversation.¡± Gilbert shot her an icy nce, turned around, and walked away. Kisa cursed in her mind before sitting down at the window to follow the day¡¯s entertainment news. The CEO¡¯s office, the J & K Film Group Jensen leaned back in his chair, fiddling with a pen between his fingers while watching a video intently. In the video, Gilbert was protecting Kisa from being pelted by eggs with his body. He was a neat freak, but he did not care when the eggs hit him. The corners of Jensen¡¯s lips curled up in a faint smile, and he thought, ¡®Gilbert, you still care about her after all¡® Shaun looked at him and said indignantly, ¡°Mr. Kooper, why did you give the J & K Film Group to Ms. Becker? I¡¯m really worried that she will ruin the J & K Film Group ¡± ¡°What¡¯s the harm if she ruins it?¡± Jensen sounded as if he couldn¡¯t care less. Shaun was anxious. ¡°Mr. Kooper, you worked hard to build it.¡± ¡°It was created for her in the first ce. So what if she ruins it? Besides, she would never ruin the J & K Film Group,¡± Jensen said with great confidence. Shaun looked at his confident look and cautiously asked, ¡°You don¡¯t have a crush on Ms. Becker, do you?¡± Jensen did not respond but just casually twirled the pen in his hand. Shaun became more and more anxious. ¡°She is Gilbert¡¯s ex¨Cwife. Your father will not agree to it. He- ¡°That is enough.¡± Jensen cut him off, his eyes looking bitter. ¡°She has thought of a solution to this crisis. You all just do as she says.¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper-¡± ¡°Get out.¡± Shaun pursed his lips and dared not say anything more. Jensen still leaned back in his chair and looked out the window with a hint of sadness. ¡°I allow you to save that woman, but you must not have feelings for her. She is just a tool against Gilbert and the Kooper family, not to trap you. We will get back what the Kooper family owes us, one by one.¡± Jensen kneaded his brow and let out a sad yet self¨Cdeprecating smile. ¡®Can we really get what they owe us?¡® The Case residence¨C back Sharon got so carried away that she did not even go to the shoot today. She was holding at ss of red wine in one hand, a phone in the other, with a triumphant smile on her face. ¡°That woman will finally get what she deserves, and I will still own the entertainment industry after all.¡± Carolyn was all smiles,ing over with her phone. ¡°Sharon, you¡¯re amazing. I¡¯m so proud of you. The inte is now cursing that woman, boycotting her work, and telling her to get out of the entertainment industry. I have to say, Sharon, you have done a great job.

I¡¯m not eating. The both of you can finish it.¡± With that, Christopher headed outside. Carolyn threw her cutlery on the table and cursed. ¡°We made you lose your appetite? I think you have lost your appetite because you feel sorry for that little b*stard. You just feel sorry for that little b*stard, b*tch.¡± ¡°Come on, Mom. Why are you so mad?

Then, the mother and daughterughed wildly and tantly, like being possessed. Nearby, the maids were shuddering in fright. Gilbert seldom stayed in this vi, but someone will restock the fresh food in the fridge every two days. In the past, he did not know how to cook, and the ingredients in the refrigerator were like decoration, but today they came in handy. Gilbert had been bright and a quick learner since he was a child. Although he had only just cooked oncest time, he had read many recipes and mastered most of the familiar dishes. An hour and a halfter, he had cooked five dishes and a soup. There were two meat dishes, a sd, and a mushroom soup. He initially thought of making egg drop soup today but decided against it as he¡¯s seen an egg too many and would retch at the sight of it. Gilbert set the table with two sets of dining ware and ced the dishes on the dining table. Then he looked at the things on the table with his arms akimbo for a long time to ensure nothing was wrong before turning around and going upstairs to look for the woman. The room was quiet. Gilbert did not see the woman jump on him like a hedgehog to zap him when he walked in. He looked around and only then saw her asleep in the corner of the window, which was half open, with the curtains fluttering in the breeze against her body. She seemed exhausted, with her eyes tightly closed and her cell phone in her hand. Gilbert walked over, and she still did not wake her. He squatted down and looked at her for a moment. She was like a hedgehog when she was awake. But now she was sleeping, looking so docile that he felt like drawing her into his arms. She was sleeping in azy and casual sitting position, the loose robe covering her body and revealing her sensually beautiful corbone She was not particrly pretty, nor had a hot body, but he just liked to look at her and found her alluring Something seemed to bother the woman in her dream. She suddenly frowned in her sleep. Gilbert pursed his lips and could not help himself reaching out, trying to smoothen her brow. His hand awkwardly froze in mid¨Cair when the woman suddenly opened her eyes. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 358 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 358 Chapter 358 Did I Ask You to Do the Dishes? ¡°What are you doing?¡± Kisa pped his hand away. Her wary and resentful look seemingly implied he was a pervert. Had it been Jensen, she would never have looked like this. He clenched his hands at his side and said in a bitter voice, ¡°The meal is ready.¡± With that, he got up and went out. Kisa looked on until he disappeared in the doorway, and only then did she get up and follow him out. When she got downstairs, she saw Gilbert sitting at the table, sullenly drinking his wine. She nced at the five dishes and one soup on the table that smelled amazing, definitely not something a novice like him could cook. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect they would deliver takeaway to such a remote ce.¡± Gilbert forced the ss on the table and took several deep breaths before looking at her. ¡°Sit down and eat.¡± Kisa found hismanding tone of voice offensive. She frowned, not wanting to eat with him, but then she was starving. After much thought, she still sat down at the table. The irresistible food and fine dining ware stirred the glutton in her. She took a bite of the Swedish meatballs, which she liked, and said casually, ¡°Not bad. It tastes fine.¡± Gilbert¡¯s knitted eyebrows eased up instantly. There was even an imperceptible smile in his eyes. ¡°Eat as much as you like. If you can¡¯t finish it, I will have to throw it away.¡® Kisa nodded and helped herself to another two pieces of ribs. She said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you just use the takeout boxes? It might look good and appetizing on the fine tes, but we have to do the dishes after eating. It is just a takeout, so it is better to use the takeout boxes, and we don¡¯t have to do the dishes afterward.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face copsed at once, and he clutched the cutlery in his hands so hard that they almost snapped. Kisa noticed nothing wrong with Gilbert as she continued enjoying the meal in front of her. He stared at the side of her face and forced the words through his teeth, saying, ¡°Did I ask you to do the dishes? So much nonsense!¡± Kisa flinched at his yell. She swallowed the food and said, ¡°I¡¯m just suggesting it to you. Forget it if you are not happy with it.¡± Gilbert grunted, but he could not get angry with her when he saw how much she enjoyed the food. Pleased, he took a sip of wine. After all, this was the second time he had cooked, and that this woman loved it so much proved that he was an excellent cook. He leaned back in his chair, watching her eat with gusto, and could not help but ask, ¡°How do these dishespare to Jensen¡¯s cooking?¡± ¡°Not even close.¡± She said without thinking, her words smashing the smugness out of him. His face sank again, and he sneered, ¡°You don¡¯t have to brag about that man even if you like him. When has he ever cooked a meal as good as this?¡± ¡°It is much better than this. Jensen¡¯s cooking skills areparable to that of a five¨Cstar chef. you don¡¯t believe me, you can try it next time.¡± If Gilbert put up a half smile. ¡°Okay, then, stop eating these. Go and eat his cooking.¡± With that, he snatched the cutlery from the woman¡¯s hands.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 359 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 359 Chapter 359 He is Her Enemy, Anyway Kisa stared at him in bewilderment. ¡°What is wrong with you? I said Jensen¡¯s cooking was better than this; I said nothing about you. Why are you so upset? Did you cook these?¡± Gilbert said nothing, his face just darkening. Kisa frowned and then asked in disbelief, ¡°Did you really cook these? You didn¡¯t cook these, did you?¡± She could not believe that he would suddenly be so kind as to cook for her, and the dishes tasted so good, not like the cooking of a novice cook. Seeing her suspicious face, Gilbert got up in a huff and headed upstairs without saying a word. Kisa had no words. She looked on as he went. After a long while, she picked up her cutlery and continued to eat. Whether the food was takeaway or cooked by Gilbert, she would not waste it. After she had had enough, the man still did note downstairs. So Kisa figured he would not eat, and she got up and cleaned up the table. When she walked into the kitchen with the dishes, she was surprised to see leftover ingredients on the counter and some scraps in the sink. She realized now that Gilbert had really cooked the dishes himself. She covered her mouth in surprise. ¡®No wonder he was so angry when I said the food wasn¡¯t as good as Jensen¡¯s. He is sopetitive that he can allow no one else to be better than him. Let him be angry. He is my enemy, anyway.¡® While thinking so, she rolled up her sleeves to do the dishes. She and the man hated each other, but she should at least do the dishes since she had eaten the meal. But just as she rolled up her sleeves, a hand grabbed her by the wrist. She looked up and was surprised; Gilbert was right behind her, looking at her with an icy face, his expression so grim that he looked like he was going to hit her. ¡°I just want to wash these dishes. After all, I have eaten the meal.¡± This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. ¡°Get out.¡± Gilbert nced at her unbandaged wound. Not wanting to argue, Kisa pulled her hand back and headed outside. As she went, she could not help but look back again, only to see to her horror that Gilbert was rolling up his sleeves and doing the dishes. She shook her head in shock, finding the man more and more unfathomable. He had always been chauvinistic, arrogant, and unpredictable, but these days he had been cooking for her and doing the dishes himself. The Gilbert of these days had be so abnormal that he seemed to be a different person. But no matter how much he changed, he could not change those cruel things he had done. She pulled back her eyes and walked upstairs. She checked her phone and saw the text message Jensen had sent her. [Everything has been done ording to what you said. The video has made it to the entertainment headlines on all major tforms. Check it out.] Kisa quickly replied with a [Thank you.) and then hurriedly checked the entertainment headlines. The video was trending, with tens of thousands ofments underneath. She looked at the time and saw that it had only been three hours since the video hit the number one spot. That showed the marketing skills of the J & K Film Group¡¯s PR department. She leaned over the window to check thements below the video. [It turns out that this video is the truth. Kisa didn¡¯t hit that woman at all. Instead, it was the woman who was being aggressive.] Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 360 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 360 Chapter 360 I Have Never Known What Guilt Means egg throwers are This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.

Especially the woman in the video, as if Sharon is her rtive.] [Did you see that Mr. Kooper of GK was defending Kisa? So, the usation that Kisa framed Sharon and GK was nonsense. Or else, why would Mr. Koopere to Kisa¡¯s defense?] [Let¡¯s hope people will stop throwing eggs at Kisa. This kind of behavior is bold and not environmentally friendly. Be level¨Cheaded, everyone.] As Kisa expected, theizens met the video with raves. Genuineizens made most of the comments, although the cyber troopers hired by her PR department also pitched in. She checked out thements on the video on the other social tforms, which were also positive. At this point, she was relieved, knowing Sharon would no longer dare hire people to pelt her with eggs because that would backfire. Just then, Gilbert suddenly came in, his sleeves half rolled up, and his expression was still sullen. He did not look at her but just walked straight to the bathroom. Kisa said nothing, either. She continued looking at her phone. After a few moments, a shadow suddenly cast over her, and the first thing she knew was that Gilbert was already standing in front of her with a first¨Caid kit in his hand. She frowned. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Instead of dressing up that wound, you left it out in the open to remind me I did it, right?¡± His icy voice reeked of sarcasm. Kisa took a deep breath and was about to pull the sleeve down. But the man grabbed her arm, flipped open the first¨Caid kit, and took out a medication to apply to her. ¡°So you are being so kind as to dress my wound because you feel guilty?¡± Kisa snorted. ¡°I never know what guilt means. I only dressed your wound because it was an eyesore.¡± Kisa choked in exasperation. She looked out the window, not wanting to talk to him, not realizing that the video was still ying on her phone. Gilbert saw it, and he squinted. ¡°Speaking of which, there is more to you than meets the eye, eh? You were smart enough to take this video secretly.¡± He always spoke with sarcasm. Kisa sneered. ¡°If I didn¡¯t think of something, should I just let you and Sharon do whatever you want to me?¡± Gilbert stared at the video of himself defending her. He sneered, ¡°What a cunning woman. You even posted this footage on the Inte.¡± ¡°It has to be done. After all, you are the CEO of GK Pictures. When even the CEO of GK Pictures is ¡®defending¡® me, what do you think theizens will think?¡± ¡°Now, all that is left between you and me is just put¨Cup jobs?¡± ¡°Of course not. There is also hatred. A hatred that we can never erase.¡± The wound on her arm suddenly hurt as Gilbert turned up the strength of his action. He was dressing her wound with a straight face before he let out a half smile. ¡°I really underestimated you. ¡°Is that apliment?¡± Kisa sneered. She could hear the sarcasm in his voice. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 361 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 361 Chapter 361 Now You Have Nothing But Chicanery For Me? Gilbert said nothing, picked up the gauze, and bandaged her wound. He was not as delicate as Jensen, and the dressing would not win any aesthetic award. Especially the knot that looked like it would fall apart at any moment. Kisa reinforced the knot with her teeth and asked, ¡°When will someone bring the clothes over? ¡°Are you afraid Jensen will worry?¡± ¡± Kisa was exasperated so much so that she became incapable of anger. She just could not understand why Gilbert always had to bring up Jensen. Not bothering to argue with him, she got up and said, ¡°If no one brings the clothes before dark, then I will go straight back like this. She seriously suspected that Gilbert had asked no one to bring her clothes. After all, this was his vi, where he must have many clothes, yet none will fit Kisa. Contrary to her belief, someone knocked on the door. She looked over and saw Davian standing respectfully in the doorway. ¡°Mr. Kooper, I have brought you the clothes you requested. They are all in the sizes you require.¡± Gilbert nced at Kisa. ¡°Why don¡¯t you take them? Didn¡¯t you just ask for clothes?¡± Kisa felt embarrassed with a hint of guilt for the thought she had just had. But the embarrassment and shame vanished once she thought of the man¡¯s heartlessness. She walked to the door and took the paper bag from Davian. ¡°Thank you.¡± Davian shook his head. ¡°Why thank me? You should thank Mr. Kooper. He remembers your size very well,¡± Davian said with an ambiguous smile.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Kisa had no words. ¡°What are you thinking again?¡± Davian quickly shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m not thinking about anything. You and Mr. Kooper are here alone, with you dressing up like this. What else am I supposed to think? It doesn¡¯t require much imagination, does it?¡± Kisa was at a loss for words. She realized she could neither speak properly with Gilbert nor communicate with Davian, like the master, like the subordinate. They are both equally annoying. She red at Davian, then carried the paper bag to the bathroom. Davian looked at Gilbert with a smile. ¡°Mr. Kooper, are you and Mrs. Kooper here on vacation?¡± Gilbert had not been to this vi for a long time. The only time he stayed here was the year he received the news of his wife¡¯s death. When Davian thought of what happened back then, he was heartbroken. That year, news of Kisa¡¯s death came, leaving no one taking care of the two babies. At the time, Gilbert did not care about the children at all. He withdrew himself at the grave of his wife days and nights without eating or drinking and then went missing. Madalyn had been unconscious, and the two poor children cried daily. They hired a babysitter, but Sharon sent her away. Sharon, as their aunt, volunteered to take care of the children. But she was simply not up to snuff at the job. She took care of the children for a few days, and Andrew got seriously sick and was admitted into the intensive care unit. Davian was so anxious that he looked for Gilbert everywhere and could not find him. Atst, he had no choice but to advertise Andrew¡¯s hospital admission on the news before Gilbert re¨Cemerged. Later, he learned Gilbert had hidden in the vi. But no one knew why Gilbert was hiding there, nor did he know what Gilbert had done in the vi. While Davian was lost in his thoughts, Gilbert suddenly said to Davian, ¡°Is there anything else? If not, leave now.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 362 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 362 Chapter 362 He Guessed Her Size Quite Correctly Davian snapped back and shook his head. ¡°No, no, I¡¯m leaving.¡± He ran out in a sh, not wanting to disturb Gilbert and Kisa. He could see that Gilbert was in a great moodtely. Gilbert was not offended when he addressed Kisa as Mrs. Kooper. If it were previously, Gilbert would have killed him with those knife¨Clike eyes of his. Davian had brought her a long¨Csleeved dress. The paper bag also contained a set ofvender underwear. Looking at the lingerie, Kisa blushed. Now she knew why Davian was looking at her with that expression; Gilbert had sent Davian to buy her underwear. She felt embarrassed to even think about it, but Kisa couldn¡¯t care less now. She quickly put the underwear on, and it fit surprisingly well. Gilbert had guessed her size correctly. When she had gotten changed and came out of the bathroom, she saw Gilbert almost naked and standing beside the bed. ¡°W- What are you doing?¡± She stammered and blushed big time. Gilbert turned to look at her expressionlessly. ¡°Get changed.¡± ¡°Then you should do it outside. Y¨CYou-¡± ¡°This is my room. Why should I go out to get changed?¡± Gilbert let out a faint smile and walked toward her. With that, he walked toward her with careless indifference. Kisa was flustered, scrambling to look away, and then buried her head in her hand as she rushed outside. Gilbert stared at her with a smirk as she fled. Kisa stood in the courtyard for a while before the blush on her face went away. The car Gilbert used in the morning was not there, but there was another car in the courtyard. So Kisa thought it must be Davian who just drove it here. When she saw Gilberting out of the house, she came up to him and said, ¡°You can just drop me off at some busy street so I can take a taxi to go home.¡± Gilbert did not respond but chucked something at her. She subconsciously caught it. ¡°You¡­¡® ¡°I have just been drinking. You drive.¡± Kisa¡¯s face copsed because that meant she had to drive Gilbert home before going home. She could not feel more annoyed than this. Had she known this earlier, she would have asked Davian to give her a ride. Gilbert looked up at his watch and said, ¡°Stop dilly¨Cdallying. It is gettingte.¡± Kisa watched him sit in the front passenger seat. ¡°What do you mean by that? What are you trying to pull again?¡± ¡°Andrew and Ada have almost finished school. You didn¡¯t pick them up yesterday; aren¡¯t you going to pick them up today?¡± This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Only then did it dawn on Kisa. She had almost forgotten about the two children. She jumped into the car, started it up, and asked, ¡°Are we going together?¡± ¡°Of course. The two children will be happier that way.¡± Kisa pursed her lips. As much as she did not want to go with this man to pick up the children, she would not say otherwise, as she knew the two children liked her a lot. Today was not some special day, but the entire Case residence was a shindig. Christopher thought he was in the wrong house when he returned. He had been out for just a few hours, and the mother and daughter had turned the house into a party room, and they were dancing to the song. Christopher was so upset that he threw his briefcase onto the couch in the corner. ¡°What are you two doing?¡± Only then did the mother and daughter know he was back. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 363 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 363 Chapter 363 How is This Possible? Carolyn greeted him with a smile. ¡°Celebrate. We are celebrating Sharon¡¯s victory over that bitch.¡± ¡°Yeah, Dad. In the past two days, theizens have so badly criticized that b*tch that almost everyone calls for her to get out of show business. Isn¡¯t this a brilliant move of mine? It didn¡¯t take much to bring her down.¡± Christopher said nothing. He just scowled. Carolyn pinched him on the arm and yelled, ¡°Who are you looking at with such a goddamn face? Are you feeling sorry for that little bastard? I¡¯m telling you, we are happy that Sharon has beaten that little bastard, and don¡¯t you be here to spoil the fun.¡± ¡°Absolutely, Dad. Come on. Let¡¯s celebrate together as a family,¡± Sharon said, pulling Christopher to dance with her. Christopher shrugged her off with a huff. ¡°Who told you she was finished? Who said you beat her? Didn¡¯t you guys watch the entertainment news this afternoon?¡± This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Carolyn and Sharon looked at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces. They had been so busy setting up the party this afternoon that they had forgotten to watch the entertainment news. Carolyn frowned and yelled at Christopher again. ¡°What do you mean by that? Are you saying that because you love that b*tch and don¡¯t want Sharon to win? You, Christopher, you say you love Sharon, you say Sharon is your daughter, but your heart still goes out to that little b* stard. You b*stard. Tell me clearly, you- ¡°That¡¯s enough,¡± Christopher yelled, shaking her off as he shoved a phone into her palm. ¡± Just flip through the entertainment headlines and see for yourself.¡± With that, he stormed upstairs in a huff. While Carolyn was still cursing at Christopher, Sharon felt something was wrong. When she checked the news on her phone, her face contorted with anger. ¡°How is this possible? This is not possible. The woman was finished. How could she do this? What exactly happened? Who is helping her?¡± Carolyn¡¯s face changed. ¡°Sharon, what is wrong?¡± ¡°It has only been a few hours, and the inte is all praising her, and many are even calling me evil and saying I hired someone to throw eggs at that woman. This is ridiculous. Why is 1 this happening? What the hell is going on?¡± Sharon yelled with a contorted face, shaking with anger. She thought Kisa was finished, and her career in the entertainment industry was over. She could not believe that Kisa could turn the tide. Sharon squeezed her phone so hard that she almost broke it under her monstrous anger. Carolyn refused to believe it and hurriedly checked her phone¡¯s news. ¡°Impossible. It has only been a while, and public opinion has turned one¨Csided. Kisa hasn¡¯t held a press conference, and even if she has held one, it will not work well,¡± Carolyn said as she kept browsing through the news. Suddenly, she sneered, ¡°No wonder. We underestimated the bitch. Sharon, you see, she is a scheming slut. She deliberately let those people pelt her with eggs and yed the victim card while secretly arranging for someone to film the incident. And, you see, Mr. Kooper came forward at the end to defend her. Sharon, what does Mr. Kooper mean by that? You said Mr. Kooper hates that b*tch? How could hee out to defend that b*tch?¡° Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 364 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 364 Chapter 364 Ruthless Sharon¡¯s chest heaved with anger as she stared viciously at the video of Gilbert defending Kisa. She smashed her phone at the winess on the dining table, overturned the table, kicked over the stereo, and hissed in a frenzy, ¡°Why? I want that b*tch dead. I want her dead. Gilbert is mine. GK can only be mine.¡± The maids nearby whispered to each other. ¡°I remember Sharon saying that if she failed to bring down Kisa, she would live stream herself eating poop.¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that too.¡± ¡°Yuck! It is disgusting to think about it.¡± Kisa and Gilbert arrived at the kindergarten just as it was time for school to end. Kisa said to him, ¡°I will wait in the car. You go and bring them out.¡± ¡°We will go together.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯m not going either.¡± ¡°You!¡± Kisa red at him. ¡°Are you even apetent father? Who do you expect to pick up your children for you when even you won¡¯t?¡± Gilbert said nothing and did not move, either, Kisa was exasperated. She leaned back in her seat with her arms crossed. ¡°Then I won¡¯t go either. It is not my children, anyway.¡± Gilbert¡¯s hands tightened subconsciously, and his breathing became heavy. He was angry. Kisa found Gilbert had been emotional every time. This time, for example, he was expecting someone else to pick up his children from school when he would not even do it himself. When others did not go, Gilbert would lose his temper. She could not understand why he behaved this way. As she watched other children follow their parents out of the school, Kisa became slightly anxious. She wrung her hands and was about to get out of the car when Gilbert suddenly used her of being heartless and then got out of the vehicle. Not only did he get out of the car, fuming, but he also mmed the door. Kisa looked on and sneered as he went. I¡¯m heartless? How better can he be?¡± While waiting for them, Kisa went to buy two sets of desserts. Just as she returned to the car, she ran into Mia. ¡°What a coincidence!¡± Mia was holding ke¡¯s hand and smiled at her. Mia¡¯s smile was still as enchanting as ever.

Seeing that ke only stared at Kisa and did not greet her, Mia could not help but chortle. ¡± I¡¯m sorry. He is probably still shy.¡± ¡°It is okay.¡± Kisa quickly shook her head, then squatted down in front of ke with a gentle smile. ¡°Do you like dessert? I have just bought some dessert.¡± ke shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t like sweet things.¡± ¡°Oh, it is okay.¡± Kisa patted him on the head. Mia looked at Kisa for a while, then suddenly smiled and asked, ¡°Are you here to pick up the children again today?¡± ¡°Err, yeah,¡± Kisa sounded awkward. After all, it was not her children but Gilbert¡¯s. Both Mia and Jensen knew she hated Gilbert. Just then, Gilbert came back out with Andrew and Ada. ¡°Look! It is, Ma¡¯am.¡± Ada happily shouted as she ran into Kisa¡¯s arms, hugging her affectionately. ¡°Ma¡¯am, you have reallye to pick Andrew and me up from school.¡± Kisa smiled at her and nodded her head.

How could we get along like a normal couple in public when there is such a blood feud between us? Gilbert hade over and studied Mia, his brows knitted together He did not like this woman. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± he said to Kisa. Kisa stood still with her head low Ada saw ke and said joyfully. ¡°Hi, we have met you again¡± She pulled at Andrew ¡°Andrew, he is the boy I told you about. He is very nice It was he who gave me the bandage¡± Carrying his small schoolbag on his back, Andrew walked up to ke and said politely. ¡°I¡¯m Andrew, Ada¡¯s brother.

I will call your Dad toe to see you in the evening.¡± With that, she led ke to continue to walk forward. ke could not help but nce back toward Andrew and Ada, his face having a touch of emotion that adults could not understand. Kisa got into the car sulkily and held the steering wheel in silence before she said to Gilbert, ¡°I will drive you all back to the Kooper residence.¡± Ada was stunned. ¡°Ma¡¯am, aren¡¯t we going to your ce?¡± Andrew also became anxious. ¡°We want to stay with you. Kisa did not reply to the two children but stared at Gilbert coldly. Gilbert leaned back in the seat and said carelessly, ¡°We are going to your ce.¡± Kisa snorted. ¡°Don¡¯t you think it is weird to have two enemies living under the same roof?¡± ¡°Not at all.¡± Gilbert urged impatiently. ¡°Don¡¯t dillydally.

He leaned over and whispered into her ear, ¡°You are so resentful of staying with me because you are afraid that you won¡¯t be able to control your feelings and fall in love with me, aren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Heh!¡± It sounded like a big joke to Kisa. She stared into his eyes and asked slowly, ¡°Do you think that is possible? After everything that has happened, do you think it is possible for me to love you?¡± Gilbert¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and he said coldly, ¡°If that is the case, what are you afraid of?¡± While speaking, he let out a mocking smile. ¡°Besides, I just borrowed your house a while to make the children happy.

She had been locking herself in her room since she got back. The curtains were closed, and she stood in front of the mirror, repeatedly stroking the burn scars on her back. Her eyes reddened at the thought of the baby, whose skin had turned purple and who was voiceless. She leaned against the mirror and cried, biting the back of her hand as she tried to suppress her voice. She hated that man, never because of the ugly scars nor because of the pain of burning. What she hated was the man¡¯s heartlessness, the despair and suffocation that the fire brought her, and the grief that the voiceless child brought her. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± She choked on a sob, ¡°I will never in my life forgive you. In the living room, Andrew stared at Gilbert¡¯s grim face and cautiously asked, ¡°Daddy, Ma¡¯am hasn¡¯t eaten. Will she be hungry? Why don¡¯t I bring her some food in?¡± ¡°No.¡± Ada frowned. ¡°Then what if she starves?¡± ¡°She won¡¯t die. Just take your meal.¡± Ada pouted at Andrew, who shook his head helplessly. At night, Mia covered ke with a nket. When she got up, she suddenly heard ke murmuring something. She subconsciously leaned over to listen, and then she had a lump in her throat as she heard ke murmur, ¡°mommy,¡°. He repeatedly muttered with a whimpering cry. Mia lowered her eyes glumly, stroked his forehead, and coaxed in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be sad. Your mother loves you very much. Just that she doesn¡¯t know your existence yet. ¡°ke rolled over and turned his back to her. Mia was unsure if he was awake and tried calling him in a whisper, but he did not respond. She sighed and went out, gently closing the door behind her. Coming downstairs to the living room, Mia found Jensen sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette. She did not know when he hade. Her eyes lit up upon seeing him, and she walked over to him softly. ¡°Here you are.¡± ¡°How is ke?¡± Jensen exhaled a ring of smoke and asked, his voice consistently low and melodic, but it always seemed to be mixed with a touch of mncholy. She looked at him for a long time and said, ¡°Something is bothering him. He is probably eager to meet his biological parents.¡± With that, she let out a self¨Cdeprecating smile. ¡°This child obviously doesn¡¯t know who his biological parents are, but he still wants to be like other children, wanting his biological mother and father.¡± Jensen fell silent and smoked away as if he was suppressing some emotion. Mia pursed her lips before saying hesitantly, ¡°Why don¡¯t we give him back to Gilbert and Kisa? Whatever the problems between them, ke will still have a mother and a father, besides a brother and sister, if he returns to them.¡± ke was hiding around the corner of the stairs, clenching his hands. He sat on the stairsteps, his body trembling slightly with emotion. Jensen still did not say a word, his face pensive, as if thinking of something. Mia pondered for a long time and said, ¡°I saw today that his brother and sister like him. Especially his sister Ada; she really likes him. I believe he will be happy when he returns to them.¡± Jensen had finished his cigarette, stubbed it out, and then said to Mia, ¡°Have you forgotten how I saved his life?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 367 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 367 Chapter 367 At Least Everyone is Still Okay Mia pursed her lips and suddenly stopped talking. She had not forgotten what had happened back then. At the time, Kisa, who suffered burns all over her body, was rushed into the emergency room. When ke was taken out of her womb, his skin had turned purple, and he had stopped breathing. All the doctors said the baby was dead, and they put him in a stic bag. It was Jensen who refused to believe it and took the baby out of the bag like a madman. He ordered the doctors to bring the baby back to life and even kept pping the baby¡¯s buttocks in an attempt to make the baby cry. In the eyes of the doctors, he was a madman who refused to ept reality. Finally, the baby let out a faint cry. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. He almost cried, but no one but him heard the baby¡¯s cry. Everyone said he was hallucinating, but he was convinced that the baby was still alive. Atst, after three months of persistent effort at his insistence, the baby miraculously survived. Because the child¡¯s vital signs were extremely weak, and Kisa was in a terrible condition, he did not dare to tell Kisa that the child was still alive, afraid that if the child diedter, it would give Kisa another blow, she might lose her will to live on. So he decided to wait for Kisa and the child to get better and make sure that the child survived before he brought the child back to Kisa, using the child to motivate her to live on. But he did not expect that his father would intervene. Jensen¡¯s father took him and the child back to Raworth and threatened him with the child¡¯s life, forbidding him to tell Kisa that the child was still alive. He had no choice but to agree. At that time, he could not even wait for Kisa to wake up when Jensen¡¯s father forced him to leave. So he could only keep asking the doctors here about Kisa¡¯s condition. Later, when Kisa woke up, she lost the will to live for a while. In Raworth, Jensen was distraught, racking his brains to find ways to motivate her to live on. He even hid her identity and made her sign a contract with Arie. After five years and when he heard bad news about her again, he finally could no longer hold back and signed an agreement with his father, who then allowed him to return to Calthon and watch over Kisa. Sometimes, Mia had to admit that she was jealous of Kisa. But there was nothing she could do. She knew how much Jensen missed that woman and constantly watched over her. She also knew well that there was no way she could take the ce of that woman in Jensen¡¯s heart. So, she was happy as long as she could stay by his side and be his woman. Jensen seemed to be in a ck mood today. He lit another cigarette, and he looked gloomy. Mia sighed gently. ¡°You are worried that your father will harm ke, so you are still afraid to return ke to Kisa, right?¡± Jensen nodded gently. ¡°I will see about thatter. For now, let¡¯s just leave it like this. At least everyone is still okay.¡± Mia thought he had a point, so she said nothing else, but she still felt sorry for ke. ke, who was sitting around the corner of the stairs, quietly returned to his room and covered himself in the nket. He was always cool like an adult, but now he could not help but cry. ¡®I¡¯m not an orphan whom no one wants. Not only do I have a mom and dad, but I also have a brother and a sister. How wonderful! I have a brother and a sister.¡® The following day, Kisa woke up with slightly swollen eyes. She gazed at the ceiling for a while before she heard children¡¯s voices interspersed with Gilbert¡¯s every now and then,ing from the living room. Thinking about Gilbert, she quietly clutched the bedding under her. But at that moment, there was a knock on the room door. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 368 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 368 Chapter 368 Do You Think My Dad is a Good Man? Kisa pursed her lips and did not answer. Soon, Andrew¡¯s wary voice was heard outside the door. ¡°Ma¡¯am, are you awake yet? Breakfast is ready.¡± Kisa closed her eyes and pretended not to hear. Not that she did not like Andrew, she just did not want to see Gilbert. ¡°Ma¡¯am? Ma¡¯am?¡± Andrew called out again outside the door, his voice low, mixed with a hint of guilt. ¡°Ma¡¯am, do you not like us here? I¨CIf you don¡¯t like us here, w¨Cwe won¡¯te over next time.¡± Andrew¡¯s voice was getting lower and lower toward the end of the sentence. Kisa felt bad. She took a deep breath, then rolled over and got out of bed. As she opened the door, Andrew and Ada were standing in the doorway, looking at her with tears in their eyes. A wash of guilt overwhelmed her. She stroked the children¡¯s heads and smiled as if nothing had happened. ¡°What is wrong? I just woke up.¡± No matter how much she hated Gilbert, she could not bring herself to reject these two children who loved her so much. ¡°Ma¡¯am, let¡¯s have breakfast. Daddy made sandwiches for you today.¡± Ada smiled happily at seeing Kisa¡¯s smile. Andrew pushed Kisa to the bathroom. ¡°Go wash up. Come and have breakfast afterward.¡± Kisa stared at her red and swollen eyes in the mirror and smiled to herself, realizing that crying could really do no good and would just make her look even more like a wretch. She soothed her eyes with a hot towel, and only after the redness became less obvious did she go to the dining room. She found that Gilbert, Andrew, and Ada were all sitting at the dining table, but no one had yet started eating. They were waiting for her. Kisa now could not understand Gilbert¡¯s intentions. On the one hand, he hated her, but on the other hand, he came to make her breakfast. His contradictory behavior upset her. She did not want to know why. She stayed peacefully with him under the same roof just for the sake of these two children. ¡°Eat up. You two have to go to school. Don¡¯t wait for me.¡± Kisa said to the children with a smile while ignoring Gilbert. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Andrew came up to her with a sandwich. ¡°My daddy made this, especially for you. Try it.¡± The small sandwich was neat. Other aspects notwithstanding, Gilbert had some culinary ir. Kisa took it and put it aside, then stroked Andrew¡¯s head with a smile. ¡°I know. Finish your meal.¡± ¡°Besides the sandwich, Daddy has also cooked you oatmeal, fried eggs, and garlic breads,¡± Ada said. She could not wait to bring all the dishes in front of Kisa while praising Gilbert. ¡°Daddy said he made this many dishes so you could choose whatever you wanted. My daddy is really the most thoughtful man in the world, isn¡¯t he?¡± Gilbert was drinking milk when he heard Ada¡¯spliment. He felt so embarrassed that he almost spit out his milk. Kisa nced at him indifferently and smiled at Ada. ¡°You are still small and don¡¯t understand with Gilbert in front of the two children depressing. Just as the atmosphere in the room slowly eased up, there was a knock at the door. Kisa got up and answered it. Gilbert red at her from behind her with anger. ¡°You really can¡¯t wait to see him, can you? The moment the doorbell rang, you rushed to open it, not afraid that there could be some bad guys outside.¡± Kisa¡¯s hand was already on the door handle when she heard him say this. She turned around and called him sick. ¡°This man is definitely sick. I¡¯m just answering the door, and he can¡¯t stop being sarcastic.¡± But Gilbert was stunned when Kisa pulled the door open. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 369 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 369 Chapter 369 That¡¯s Called a Lie Kisa lowered her eyes, not knowing how to answer this question. In her heart, Gilbert was definitely not a good man. She even thought he was the most ruthless kind of man. However, such an answer would disappoint the two little children. She ate her breakfast quietly, thinking about how to answer this question. Gilbert was leaning back in his chair, staring at her nonchntly. A slight smile was on his face as if he was interested in her answer, too. Andrew ran out of patience and urged Kisa, ¡°Ma¡¯am, what do you think of my daddy? In fact, in my opinion, Daddy treats you the best.¡± Kisa tried hard not tough upon hearing what Andrew said. She knew children were naive and would only take things at face value. In her eyes, Gilbert was the most ruthless toward her, but she did not want to disappoint the two children. In fact, Gilbert knew how she thought of him. It did not matter if her answer was truthful. The most important thing now was to appease these two children. She took a spoonful of the oatmeal and said casually to the two children, ¡°Your daddy is indeed very good.¡± ¡°Then can you stay with Daddy? We would like you to be our mommy.¡± Kisa¡¯s hand holding the spoon froze in mid¨Cair. She tightened her hand on her knee, and the smile on her face gradually stiffened. ¡°No way. I will never be with your daddy in this life, nor will I be your mommy,¡± she said slowly. She said it firmly, with no uncertain terms, in front of the children. Gilbert picked up the napkin and wiped his hands, his action elegant, but his eyes reeked of indifference. ¡°You are not even willing to coax them.¡± ¡°The coaxing that can¡¯t be a reality, that¡¯s called a lie. The kids are still young. Do you think it is really good to lie to them?¡± ¡°A few well¨Cintentioned lies aren¡¯t a bad thing.¡± As the atmosphere was getting tense, Andrew¡¯s eyes darted around. He suddenly came in between Gilbert and Kisa, took their hands, and said, ¡°Daddy, Ma¡¯am, can you two stop fighting? It is all my fault. Ada and I won¡¯t ask Ma¡¯am those questions anymore. Can you two stop fighting?¡± Andrew said, with a look of sadness on his face. Kisa softened her stance, pulled back her hand, and said sullenly, ¡°I¡¯m not fighting with your daddy.¡± Andrew looked at Gilbert again, his tiny brows knitted together. Gilbert spread out his hands and chortled. ¡°I¡¯m not fighting with her, either.¡± ¡°So you guys are just having an everyday bickering?¡± Ada propped her chin up with both hands and stared at them expectantly. Kisa did not reply. Gilbert chuckled and said, ¡°Yes, we are just bickering .¡® Kisa stirred the oatmeal in her bowl and became more and more upset.

Lea looked at her and then at Gilbert, wanting to say something but not daring to speak After they both left, Gilbert leaned back in his chair and suddenly let out a devil may care smile. Andrew looked at him cautiously. ¡°Daddy, Ma¡¯am seems to be angry Why are you stillughing?¡± And Ada whispered to him, ¡°Daddy is daunted after Ma¡¯am scolded him good and proper¡± Content ?

Have you read today¡¯s paper? I¡¯m speechless. After what Sharon has done, I¡¯m afraid GK will be implicated again ¡± ¡°Hold a press conference immediately and make her apologize to the viewers.¡± ¡°Then, should we put her on the bench?¡± ¡°No, her scenes will continue to be shot as usual. I will personallye out to speak for her.¡± ¡°How could you do that? She is so notorious now. If we defend her instead of punishing her, I¡¯m afraid it will not gain the viewers¡® confidence.¡± ¡°It is okay. Do as I say.¡± Davian agreed reluctantly. ¡°All right then.¡± ¡ª 11 ¡°Cut! Very good. Today¡¯s shooting went very well. Great job, everyone.¡± ¡± Now that everyone had gotten their act right, every scene was shot smoothly. The director was so happy that he called for a wrap at only 3.00 pm. Kisa carried the hem of her dress and smiled at everyone. ¡°We are off early today. Let me treat you all to dinner.¡± ¡°Yay!¡± Several young girls on the set jumped for joy. The director stroked his mustache and smiled at Kisa ¡°If every scene you shoot could go so well every time, it would be better than treating us to dinner.¡± ¡°I will do my best,¡± Kisa said sincerely. ¡°Well done. You have improved a lot.¡± The director patted her on the shoulder. But then, he said with some regret, ¡°If only you could work with Mr. Kooper in one drama.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and smiled, not saying anything. The feud between her and Gilbert over the years was a drama in real life; they did not have to act. The Legend of Luna¡¯s cast wrapped up and went to dinner happily. In contrast, the shooting of Goddess of My Adoration was interrupted by repeated calls of ¡°cut¡± from the director. It was a stark contrast between the two crews. As Kisa was leaving, she saw Sharon giving her a bitter stare. Because of Sharon¡¯s distraction, the director called for another ¡®cut¡¯. Kisa gave her a smug grin and mimed with her mouth, You can¡¯t beat me after all ¡± Sharon was so furious that she wanted to leave the shooting to attack Kisa, but Cndina held her back Kisa sneered and walked away triumphantly with Lea. She could still hear Sharon yelling and cursing as she walked away When she was almost out of the set, Arie suddenly stopped her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 372 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 372 Chapter 372 That Man is Sinister as Hell Arie looked depressed and unusually disgusted. ¡°I¡¯m really disgusted with Sharon She has no acting skills yet is conceited. We are working overtime because she is slowing us down. She is really annoying. Look how good you guys are, finishing work early every day and getting to have dinner together. I¡¯m so jealous.¡± Kisa could tell that Arie said this not only to vent her frustration but also because she wanted to join the J & K Film Group. She smiled at Arie and said, ¡°If you want to join the ] & K Film Group after this film, you are always wee. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Everything I said is true, including what I saidst time Arie looked delighted, but she was still not convinced. ¡°But I have already signed a contract with GK.

She really did not feel like talking to Gilbert. She was sick thinking about how much that man had humiliated her when she tried to get Howard¡¯s role back thest time. If she spoke to him again this time, he mighte up with some nasty offer. After all, in her eyes, that man was sinister as hell. ¡°Kisa¡­¡± Seeing Kisa¡¯s hesitation, Arie cried even harder. ¡°For the sake of our five years of friendship, help me. I really can¡¯t stand Sharon. I really don¡¯t want to stay in GK after this drama.¡± ¡°s, it is useless for you to cry in front of Kisa. You have a contract with GK, and Kisa can¡¯t help it. Besides, Mr. Kooper and Kisa aren¡¯t on the same side. How can she speak to him about this? Your contract is only for two or three years, so just bear with it,¡± Lea could not help but say. Arie ignored her and looked at Kisa expectantly. Kisa could not stand her pitiful and expectant look. ¡°Okay, I will try, but he is difficult to reason with, so I¡¯m not sure if I can convince him.¡± ¡°You definitely can. I can see that Mr. Kooper still treats you differently.¡± ¡®Of course, he treats me differently. He always shows me no mercy.¡® Kisa had made a reservation at a fancy restaurant. The private dining room was spacious enough to seat over thirty people. There was a TV in the room, showing entertainment news. After dozens of dishes were served, Kisa was the first to raise her ss and drink a toast to everyone. ¡°Thanks for your hard work, everyone. I appreciate it very much. Here I would like to propose a toast to everyone.¡± On the set, she was just an actress and the heroine of The Legend of Luna. Outside of the drama, she was the CEO of the J & K Film Group. Some of the more important roles in the film were cast with new artists from the J & K Film Group. Those artists had a lot of respect for Kisa, and they hastened to raise their sses in return. Mr. Quillen smilingly said, ¡°Today, Ms. Becker invited us to dinner. We must work harder in this drama and live up to her expectations.¡± ¡°Absolutely.¡± ¡°If Ms. Becker works so hard, there is no reason we can¡¯t.¡± Roy smiled and toasted Kisa. ¡°You are a good leader. I wish I could work with you in the J & K Film Group.¡± ¡°I wee you. It would be great to have you here at the J & K Film Group.¡± Roy looked at her bright smiling face and said, ¡°I will definitely be there when I get the chance.

Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 373 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 373 Chapter 373 Her Eloquence and Deviousness is Unparalleled Everyone looked at the TV screen on which an entertainment press conference was broadcasted live. The main characters in the press conference were Gilbert and Sharon, who had just finished working on the set and had no time to remove her makeup. ¡°Miss Case, someone admitted that you hired her to engage someone to smash eggs at Kisa. Is this true?¡± Sharon¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. It was apparent that the most vicious one was her, yet she pretended to be a victim in front of people. She was holding a tissue in her hand, wiping her tears, and said to the reporter, ¡°It is true.¡± ¡°Ick!¡± The reporters grunted in contempt. Sharon cried even more with a look of remorse on her face. Someone at the table felt angry and pointed at the LCD screen. ¡°Sharon is really shameless, using such despicable means to frame Ms. Becker, yet she still has the nerve to cry.¡± ¡°Yeah. What is she implying when she cries like this? She is pretending again.¡± Roy nced at Kisa but saw that she looked calm, having her meal as usual, as if she had nothing to do with what was ying on the TV. Feeling strange, he could not help but look at her a few more times. On TV, Sharon was crying like a baby. ¡°I know I have let everyone down. By now, everyone must think I¡¯m an extremely vicious person, I¡¯m here to apologize for what I did. I really shouldn¡¯t have used this method against Kisa because of her repeated provocations and false usations. I really know I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have been so impulsive. I should havepeted with her openly. I should have used my acting skills topete with her instead of fighting with her in private.¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Kisa sneered in her mind as she listened to what Sharon had said. ¡®Look how good this woman is at talking. She has made me the instigator by using me of provoking her repeatedly. She made people think it was I who provoked her first, and that was why she used this method to fight back against me, making people think her counterattack was reasonable. Thetter sentence also insinuates that I¡¯m also using such lowly means against her in private. Obviously, she is unterally harming me, but she is making it sound like it is a secret fight between us. Her eloquence and deviousness are unparalleled.¡® As expected, the reporters were asking Sharon questions. ¡°Miss Case, so was it because Kisa often provoked and falsely used you that you have no choice but to use this method to fight back?¡± ¡°Have you been fighting with Kisa like this openly and in private?¡± Sharon covered her nose with a tissue and nodded her head while weeping, looking as if what she said was sincere, and she felt remorse. ¡°I was a fool. I really regret it. In fact, when Kisa was pelted with eggs the first time, I felt very guilty and told those people to stop it. But I didn¡¯t expect they would do that again the next day. I¡¯m really sorry about this. Fortunately, Kisa was smart enough to record a video of what happened. Otherwise, she would really have been wronged, and 1 would feel even more guilty.¡± Kisa felt sick at hearing this, as by saying thest sentence, Sharon was telling the reporters that Kisa was cunning. The reporter immediately asked, ¡°Miss Case, are you saying that Ms. Becker took the video herself?¡± ¡°Ah, I don¡¯t know. Maybe some passersby filmed it? It is just that the video is so clear that it doesn¡¯t look like a passerby took it. But whoever took it, as long as the truthes out, it is fine.¡± Kisa took a sip of wine to calm her anger and disgust. At that moment, Gilbert was seen picking up the microphone and speaking to the press on TV. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 374 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 374 Chapter 374 Bullying Kisa ¡°As an artist, Sharon was really wrong to do such a thing. We at GK have meted out punishments to her ordingly, and the good thing is that she knows she was wrong. Since she sincerely apologized to the public, I still hope everyone will give her a chance.¡± ¡°Ick!¡± Someone at the table was indignant. ¡°Mr. Kooper from GK really likes Sharon. She has caused such a big trouble and could affect GK¡¯s reputation, yet he still defends Sharon in front of so many reporters.¡± ¡°Absolutely. I would have kicked Sharon out of GK or just put Sharon on the bench if it were me.¡® ¡°So it seems Mr. Kooper is really in love with Sharon.¡± ¡°Shh! Shhh!¡± While everyone was talking enthusiastically, someone suddenly realized that Gilbert and Kisa were once a couple, so they hurriedly made a silent gesture at them, signaling them to stop talking. Everyone looked over at Kisa and saw her sipping on her wine, cool, calm, and collected. She gently put down her ss, nced up at the man on the TV, and smiled at everyone. ¡°He has always defended Sharon, and I am used to it. So you do not have to worry about me. Feel free to say what you want.¡± Everyone still dared not discuss the topic again despite her saying so. Mr. Quillen stroked his mustache and said to Kisa smilingly, ¡°Somehow, I still feel that Mr. Kooper likes you more. Look at thest kissing scene. That was an affectionate kiss. It would never have achieved that performance if Mr. Kooper had no feelings for you.¡± N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Kisa let out a self¨Cdeprecating smile. ¡°You said he has a great talent for acting, so any realistic feeling is just an act.¡± Mr. Quillenughed nomittally, then stared at the TV screen while holding a ss of wine in his hand. Sharon was still tearful, and her expression looked sincere. ¡°I really know I was wrong. I do not dare to hope that everyone can give me a chance, but I ask you all not to direct your disgust and boycott GK, as it was all my mistake. Please stay rational and do not vent your anger on GK.¡± Sharon was crying with grief, pain, and a pitiful look. Gilbert took the microphone and said in a deep voice, ¡°Sharon is an artist of GK¡¯s, so I cannot escape the responsibility. In the future, GK will strictly regte the moral behavior of its artists. Since Sharon has sincerely apologized to Ms. Becker this time, I believe Ms. Becker of J & K Film Group is magnanimous enough not to take this matter to heart.¡± Kisa sneered upon hearing Gilbert paint her as magnanimous to pre¨Cempt the possibility of her pursuing the matter further. If she pursued this matter again, she would be seen as petty. Kisa snickered and shook her head, unable to describe if she was angry or sad. She felt ridiculous that Gilbert spared no effort to defend that woman. Because Gilbert repeatedly spoke for Sharon, many reporters let him save his face. Some reporters said, ¡°Artists are not saints; sometimes they make mistakes. Since Miss Case has sincerely admitted her mistakes, I believe mostizens will forgive her this time.¡± ¡°Besides, Ms. Case is big¨Chearted. We believe that Ms. Becker will not pursue the matter further.¡± Lea was so furious that she almost snapped the cutlery in her hand. ¡°GK and Sharon bullied Kisa; they are shameless.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 375 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 375 Chapter 375 She Still Never Got to Experience Romance ¡°That¡¯s right!

They¡¯re such bullies!¡± ??? ¡°I agree. Who gave them the right? Why does Ms. Becker have to swallow it all?¡± Seeing how everyone felt indignant for her, Kisa felt a sense offort. The dismal and aggravation the man on the TV had brought upon her were instantly swept away. Kisa smiled at them, ¡°Do you all want to help me take revenge on them?¡± Their eyes lit up. Among them was a young girl who was a new actress under J & K Film Group. In The Legend of Luna, she yed as Kisa¡¯s personal servant N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Her name was ine. ine said to Kisa excitedly, ¡°Of course we do! What should we do to take revenge on them?¡± ¡°Yeah, what should we do?¡± Kisa leaned into the chair as she watched the man and woman on the TV. She smiled slightly,¡± It¡¯s really simple; all of you just have to work hard for this drama, and that¡¯ll help me take revenge on them.¡± ¡°The Legend of Luna and Goddess of My Adoration are both dramas with heroines as main characters. Netizens are alreadyparing the two before they¡¯ve even been aired because of Gilbert and me. As long as we do our best for the drama and make it a top tier quality drama, we¡¯ll beat them in all aspects, including reviews and ratings. That¡¯ll be a massive p in the face for Sharon and GK Pictures,¡® thought Kisa. Everyone nodded after hearing her words. ¡°You¡¯re right, Ms. Becker.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Ms. Becker. We¡¯ll definitely do our best for this drama.¡± Kisa smiled at them and raised a ss to them, ¡°Thank you, everyone. Let¡¯s do our best together.¡± Lea switched off the TV so their mood would not be affected while they had their meal. After about two hours, they finished their dinner. It was only 6 o¡¯clock in the evening when they left the restaurant, so it was still bright out. Everyone had gone home. Kisa stood by the restaurant¡¯s entrance as she watched the sunset. She felt an inexplicable sense of mncholy. Lea turned to her, ¡°Kisa, why don¡¯t I drive you home?¡± Kisa shook her head, ¡°You can go ahead. I¡¯d like to go for a stroll.¡± Lea pursed her lips. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t take the things Mr. Kooper said on TV just now to heart. I think he had his reasons for defending Sharon, and it¡¯s not because he likes Sharon like what everyone¡¯s saying. Kisa smiled and patted her head, ¡°Since when did you know how tofort others?¡± Then, she lightly pushed Lea into the car. ¡°Alright. Go home, and don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Lea nodded. ¡°Okay, just be careful.¡± After Lea left, Kisa continued strolling about the street aimlessly. Since it was off working hours, there was heavy traffic on the roads and peopleing and going by the sidewalk. Some walked hurriedly, while others walked at a rxed pace. There were also lots of couples walking around hand in hand. They would asionallyugh and joke or talk about this or that product. Every time Kisa saw couples who were intimate with one another, a hint of envy could be seen in her eyes. When she was younger, she used to fantasize about how the rtionship between her and Gilbert would be like if they became a couple. She wondered if they would be joined by the hip like these couples, or maybe even have their fingers interlocked while they were out shopping. However, despite having gone through her teenage and young adult years, she still never got to experience romance. All she got was endless grief and heartache. As she passed by the florist¡¯s, she froze momentarily. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 376 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 376 Chapter 376 Are You Buying These for Someone Beloved? Kisa suddenly remembered her promise to Jensen of making him rose shortbread cookies. She hesitated momentarily before walking toward the florist shop. It was pretty crowded in the shop, with most of the customers being men. Kisa stood in the shop browsing around before a florist approached her, ¡°Hello, miss. What kind of flower are you looking for?¡± Kisa pulled her cap lower and smiled, ¡°I¡¯m looking for roses.¡± The florist was stunned, ¡°Miss, are you buying these for someone beloved?¡± Kisa did not respond. The florist turned around and retrieved a bouquet of fresh roses. Then, the florist smiled, Most of the people who get roses here are men, so ady getting roses for her man is a rare sight. It seems like you like him a lot. I wish you two the best.¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. The florist continued speaking with a smile. Kisa smiled and nodded along in silence. ¡®Speaking of which, Gilbert¡¯s never gotten me any flowers before. Then again, he¡¯s never liked me, so why would he get me flowers?¡® thought Kisa. After getting some roses, Kisa went to purchase other ingredients, and then only did she return home. When Kisa opened the door, her house was empty. ¡®I might¡¯ve gotten used to Ada and Andrew¡¯spany; I¡¯m actually a little not used to the kids ¡®sudden absence,¡® Kisa thought to herself. ¡®What¡¯s wrong with me? I¡¯m supposed to be annoyed with that man. I¡¯m reluctant to let his children live here, yet their absence today is making me feel so empty. I¡¯m always saying how contradicting Gilbert is, yet I¡¯m no different,¡® she thought again. Then, Kisa took the ingredients to the kitchen. She sorted out the ingredients as she called Jensen. ¡°Have you had lunch yet?¡± ¡°Nope. Neither have you, right? Shall we go out for a meal?¡± Kisa said apologetically, ¡°I have, but I¡¯m currently making rose shortbread cookies. You¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯lle over and be your assistant.¡± Kisa replied in amusement, ¡°I was just about to ask you.¡± Just as Kisa finished her sentence, she heard someone knocking on her door. She quickly ran to open the door before she even hung up the phone. Jensen¡¯s phone was still on call with Kisa. He tilted his head and smiled, ¡°You finally remembered to make me rose shortbread cookies.¡± Kisa looked awkward and embarrassed. ¡°I¡¯ve been so busy that I actually forgot.¡± In the very beginning, Kisa was the one who promised Jensen that she would make him rose shortbread cookies after Kohen¡¯s banquet. Who would have thought she would only remember after the banquet ended long ago? Jensen was strong, so Kisa got him to knead the dough. Meanwhile, she was in charge of the rose petals. First, she plucked off the flower petals and ced them in a small basket. Then, she washed them carefully so that she could make them into jamter. Jensen kneaded the dough with his sleeves rolled up. He looked as if he knew what he was doing. Kisa asked curiously, ¡°Since you¡¯re so good at cooking, you must also be great at making pastries, right?¡± Unexpectedly, Jensen shook his head. ¡°Nope. This is my first¨Ctime kneading dough. That¡¯s why it¡¯s up to you whether I¡¯ll get to eat delicious rose shortbread cookies.¡± Kisa grinned, ¡°Don¡¯t get your hopes up. I haven¡¯t made rose shortbread cookies in a while. Moreover, I¡¯ve only made it once, so I can¡¯t guarantee it¡¯ll taste good. If it doesn¡¯t, you¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine; I trust your culinary skills.¡± ¡®But I don¡¯t trust myself,¡® thought Kisa. Kisa nced at the ingredients in the fridge and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you make something to eat first? It¡¯s getting prettyte.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine; I¡¯m not hungry.¡± Jensen replied as he continued to knead the dough in the bowl. Suddenly, Kisa noticed lots of flour stuck to his hair and forehead. She tugged him out of reflex. ¡°Don¡¯t move,¡± she said as she tip¨Ctoed to wipe his forehead. Kisa was really close to Jensen. He could feel her warm breath against his neck. He stared at her without blinking as his gaze gradually darkened. Suddenly, an icy chuckle came from the kitchen entrance¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 377 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 377 Chapter 377 Your Daddy Is Very Selective About His Food ¡°I genuinely thought something important hade up for you today that you forgot to pick up the kids. Turns out you were being lovey¨Cdovey with him at home.¡± The man¡¯s tone was incredibly icy and brimmed with resentment. Kisa slowly put some distance between herself and Jensen. She casually turned to the kitchen entrance and saw Gilbert standing by the door. The expression on his face was terrifyingly dark Meanwhile, Ada and Andrew stood behind him as they peered at her carefully. Kisa ignored his presence and walked past him. She turned to Ada and Andrew, ¡°Have you two eaten?¡± Andrew shook his head. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Ada replied, ¡°I want to eat the spaghetti you make.¡± Kisa patted their heads with a smile, ¡°The two of you can go do your homework. I¡¯ll go cook you two some spaghetti right this instant.¡± The two children obediently went to the living room to do their homework. After Kisa sent the children away, she continued ignoring Gilbert and went back into the kitchen. Then, she said to Jensen, ¡°You can continue kneading the dough. I¡¯ll go make the kids some spaghetti.¡± Jensen nodded with a smile. When his gaze fell on Gilbert, a mixture of emotions shed across his eyes. He picked up the dough and motioned it at Gilbert with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t get it wrong. Kisa and I are just making rose shortbread cookies.¡± Gilbert snorted sardonically and did not respond. Jensen continued speaking with a smile, ¡°Kisa makes delicious rose shortbread cookies. You should have someter.¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t need to have some. These rose shortbread cookies are meant for you.¡± Kisa cut in coldly before Gilbert could respond. ¡®Gilbert thinks that my rose shortbread cookies are awful. Back then, he even dumped the rose shortbread cookies that I worked hard to make into the trash. Since that¡¯s the case, there¡¯s no need for me to embarrass myself,¡® thought Kisa. Gilbert narrowed his eyes coldly. ¡®So my guess back then was right. From then till now, the rose shortbread cookies she made had always been meant for him and not me,¡® thought Gilbert. Gilbert tightened his fists by his sides and sneered, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t want to eat something that unptable even if you gifted it to me.¡± Kisa froze while cooking spaghetti. She tightened her grip on the spat and smiled at him slightly, ¡°Is that so? Thank goodness these weren¡¯t meant for you then.¡± Gilbert side¨Ceyed her icily before turning to leave. Kisa pursed her lips and continued making spaghetti as if Gilbert had never appeared. Regardless, her mood had still been affected. The atmosphere in the kitchen was no longer as harmonious and cheerful as it was at the start. Kisa finished cooking the spaghetti very quickly. She even added some sausages and ham to the spaghetti. When she came out of the kitchen, the children had finished their homework. They were sitting on the couch and watching TV. Meanwhile, Gilbert sat on the other end of the couch with a gloomy expression. Kisa ignored him and set the spaghetti in front of the children with a soft smile, ¡°Eat up. Your Uncle Jensen and I are making rose shortbread cookies. Why don¡¯t we have it once you two are done with your spaghetti?¡± Andrew nced at Gilbert before turning to Kisa, ¡°Ma¡¯am, but daddy hasn¡¯t eaten yet.¡± ¡°Your daddy is very selective about his food; the food that I make is not good enough for him, Kisa said to the children with a smile. However, since her words were meant for Gilbert, they sounded sarcastic. Gilbert snorted, ¡°Are you not willing to cook for me, or is your food not good enough for me? You know the answer.¡± Kisaughed out of anger when she heard the resentful tone of his words. She lifted her gaze and looked at the man at the corner of the couch. Then, she snorted, You¡¯re right. I¡¯m not willing to cook for you. Besides, who are you to make me cook for you?¡± ¡°Then why are you cooking for him?¡± Gilbert nced at the kitchen icily. Kisa smiled slightly, ¡°I¡¯m willing to. Can¡¯t I?¡± Gilbert red at her coldly. His fists were tightened as if he were about to teach her a lesson the very next moment. Suddenly, Jensen called out to her from the kitchen. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 379 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 379 Chapter 379 He Just Speaks With a Forked Tongue Seeing the two argue, the children panicked. One of them dragged Gilbert while the other tugged on Kisa. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, Ma¡¯am. Daddy genuinely wants to help you. He just speaks with a forked tongue.¡± ¡°Who says I speak with a forked tongue? I¡­¡± ¡°Daddy!¡± Gilbert was mid¨Csentence when Ada shook his arm vigorously. She continued, ¡°Earlier on, you said you wanted to help Ma¡¯am with the cookies. Then you said that you wanted to have some once they¡¯re done. Did you forget?¡± Gilbert red at the little girl in front of her. ¡®This child¡¯s actually making things up so that I can help Kisa with the cookies,¡® he thought. Jensen shook his head in amusement before turning around to wash off the flour on his hands. Then, he smiled at Ada, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll help you with your homework.¡± ¡°Mhm,¡± Ada nodded furiously. She turned to Gilbert, ¡°Daddy, you must do your best and help Ma¡¯am with the cookies. Don¡¯t let her overwork herself.¡± Gilbert kept a sullen face and did not respond. Andrew turned to Kisa, ¡°Ma¡¯am, daddy¡¯s good with his hands, so he¡¯s the best candidate to help you out.¡± The children spoke one after another and pushed Gilbert far into the kitchen. ¡°The two of you can work on the cookies. Uncle Jensen and I will be leaving now.¡± Ada smiled at them and walked out while grasping Jensen¡¯s arm. Soon after, only Kisa and Gilbert were left in the kitchen. Neither of them spoke, so the atmosphere was dull and awkward. Kisa hadpletely lost her mood to bake cookies. She forcefully mashed the flower petals in annoyance. ¡®I thought he wouldn¡¯t bring the children to stay over today; that¡¯s why I let Jensene over and help me with the cookies. If I had known that he wasing over, I would¡¯ve gone to Jensen¡¯s house to make the cookies. That way, I wouldn¡¯t even have to see him,¡® thought Kisa. Gilbert peered at her back coldly. Momentster, he asked grumpily, ¡°What do you need me to do?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing you need to do. It would be even better if you could go outside. This kitchen is small to begin with, so you staying would just me down.¡± Gilbert could no longer suppress the anger within. He snorted icily, ¡°Me staying here will drag down?¡± you down? How about Jensen, then? Why don¡¯t you say that he¡¯s dragging you Kisa spun around and stared at him with a straight face, ¡°He¡¯s staying here to help me. But you¡­ You would only drag me down. After all, you don¡¯t know anything about all of this!¡± Her final sentence brimmed with contempt and disdain. Gilbert tightened his fists by his sides so much they were about to shatter. His expression was cold and menacing. Kisa nced at him coolly. Then, she turned around and continued making rose jam. Gilbert gritted his teeth. He red at her so ferociously as if he wanted to burn multiple holes in her back. Momentster, he finally managed to suppress the intense rage he felt within. Gilbert looked at the little balls of dough on the pastry board and wanted to ask Kisa what to do next. However, when he thought of her disdainful expression, he immediately gave up on the idea. He went to wash his hands before frowning and thinking for a moment. Then, he started kneading the dough. He rolled the small balls of dough on the pastry board together. After that, he threw them onto the board and continued kneading. The previous time Gilbert learned to cooked, he had watched a video about pastry¨Cmaking. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. He only watched the video briefly, but it said something about kneading and throwing the dough a lot would give it more texture. While he was in the midst of kneading the dough, he suddenly noticed a few pieces of ttened dough pieces that had been set aside. He frowned deeply and instantly realized that he had messed up somewhere.

It would be humiliating for them to see me get kicked out of here.¡® He tightened his fists and turned around to see Kisa redividing the dough into even batches and rolling each of them into even thin sheets with a rolling pin. Gilbert stood there for a while and felt that he was unneeded. He then looked at the kitchen counter full of bottles and cans, a strainer, a blender, and bowls. It looked messy. Gilbert pursed his lips and started to clean up. He first put the finished rose jam and the leftover rose petals aside. Then, Gilbert cleaned the strainer and the used bowls and put them into the cab. Lastly, he took a rag to wipe the counter clean. When he finished, he looked at the spotless kitchen counter and felt a sense of aplishment. ¡°This time, she won¡¯t be mad,¡® he thought.

I asked him to get out of here, but he wanted to stay. And now he leaves without me saying anything? This man really likes to go against people, huh?¡± Kisa thought.

His breath filled her mouth, and she felt like she was about to copse, but she struggled to no avail. After an unknown amount of time, Kisa felt like she was about to die. Her lips felt like it was burning. She whimpered in protest, and the man finally let go of her. She leaned against the wall, g asping for air.

Kisa shrugged it off. ¡°Whatever.¡± With that, she turned around and went into the room. Gilbert stared at the closed door with cold eyes. He suddenly punched the wall next to him with force. T he impact was so great that his fist bled. Blood was trickling down his hand, but he did not feel the pain. He smiled morosely, telling himself that he should not have hope for Kisa, that they could only be enemies and hate each other in this life. Mia did not expect Jensen toe.

Sharon had been staying low profile since her scheme was exposed. Thest time at the press conference, Gilbert asked the reporters andizens to give S haron a chance. So there were still a lot ofizens who, for Gilbert¡¯s sake, supported Sharon. But despite this, Kisa could not be careless. After this incident, she gained a lot of fans. She found that many of the haters who had cursed her because of this incident turned into her fans because of guilt after the truth came out. Now the news about her was all unanimously positive. Nowadays, whenever she was on her way to the set, she would encounter fans who sent her flowers, instead of haters who pelted her with eggs. For many days in a row, Sharon had not created trouble for her. She could finally concentrate on filming without having to deal with the t raps that Sharonid for her. Today, after she finished work, she hurried to school. Strangely enough, since she and Gilbert argued that night, he did not stay in her house anymore. But he still left the two children with her. So much so that she now had to pick up the two children from school every day after she finished work. Sometimes she had to ask Jensen to pick them up when she was shooting toote. Kisa really wondered why she had to do this since these two children were not hers but the Kooper family¡¯s. If Gilbert did not have time to pick up the children, the Kooper family had plenty of people to do that on his behalf. B esides, Madalyn loved the children so much. So She could not understand why Gilbert had to leave the children with her. When Kisa arrived at the school, it had been about twenty minutes since school had ended. All the children in the school had been picked up by their parents. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Andrew and Ada standing in front of the school, with the security guard at the gate l ooking after them. Only when she walked over she noticed ke was also there. She looked around again but did not see Mia. Kisa bent down and asked ke with puzzlement, Where is your godmother?¡± ke shook his head.

The boy has always been keeping things to himself,¡± Jensen said. Kisa opened the door and let the three children in. They were well¨C behaved, and upon entering, they all spontaneously sat at the table and did their homework. Kisa left her handbag in the foyer, changed into slippers, and came over. She got a big headache as she looked at the three of them. It was tiring enough taking care of one child, but now she was taking care of three. Thinking about Mia, she took out her phone to call Jensen again, but she received a text message from him instead. [I have just been in a meeting. I know about ke. I¡¯m going to be out of town on business for the next few days, and Mia has some th ings going on, so ke may have to be in your care for a few days.] Looking at the text message, Kisa did not know whether to cry orugh.

It was also that New Year¡¯s Eve that her baby died. But on that night, Gilbert was blessed with a pair of twins, and she found that to be an ironic contrast. None of the children noticed the change in her mood. Ada asked ke, ¡°What day were you born?¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ke said, ¡°Dad said I was also born on New Year¡¯s Eve 2015.¡± ¡°Huh?

So are we all the same age?¡± Kisa smiled at Ada as she tried to shake away her bad mood. ¡°Yes, it is amazing. I don¡¯t know if he is the sister.¡± ¡°I will be the older brother. I can protect my sister,¡± ke said at once, like a little adult. Their kiddish wordspletely healed Kisa¡¯s sad mood.

So who could be in the kitchen? Could Gilbert havee over again without telling me?¡® With that in mind, she carefully removed Ada¡¯s arm from across her stomach and quietly got out of bed. The bright morning sun shone into the house. When she stepped out of the room, the sound from the ki tchen became more and more audible. She walked over in puzzlement and found that it was ke. He was busy in the kitchen. ke saw her and greeted her. ¡°Good morning, Ma¡¯am.¡± Kisa was startled to see the fire on the stove and hurriedly turned it off. ¡°What are you doing? Are you hungry?

I always make breakfast for Mom at home, and sometimes I cook for Dad.¡± If she had not seen how much Jensen and Mia loved the boy, she would have wondered if the boy was being abused at their ce. While Kisa thought, ke said to her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Ma¡¯am. My cooking is delicious.¡± Seeing how persistent the boy was, Kisa relented. She reminded him, ¡°Be careful. If you can¡¯t handle it, call me over, okay?¡± ke nodded vigorously. Itpletely amazed Kisa. After all, ke was only five years old, still a child. So she was still worried. After washing up, she leaned against the kitchen door and watched for a long time. Even though ke was still small, he was very skilled at cooking. He not only cooked pasta but also made sandwiches. Watching the way he put in the greens and squeezed the sd sauce, even heating a jug of milk like a pro, Kisa was in awe, feeling that she was not as good as a five¨Cyear¨Cold. ke made the breakfast and brought it to the table. Kisa looked at him and asked, ¡°Who taught you how to cook?¡± ? ¡°Dad,¡± ke said matter¨Cof¨Cfactly. ¡°He said, if I can cook, I won¡¯t die of hunger.¡± Kisa was amused but could not deny that he had a point. She went into the kitchen to help him bring out the pasta. ¡°Do you enjoy cooking?

She liked ke so much that she could not help stroking his cheeks. Jensen once told her tha t ke was adopted. But she wondered what parents would want to abandon such a well¨C behaved and understanding child. She thought she would have smiled in her dreams had he been her child. She hugged him and s aid, ¡°I also like you very much. You can stay here with me for the next few days. When your godfather and godmother come back, I will take you back to them, okay?¡± ¡°Okay. ¡°ke nodded obediently. But then he asked, ¡± Can Ie to your house next time?¡± ¡°Of course you can. You are always wee here and can y here as long as you want.¡± ke smiled happily when he heard that. This was the first time Kisa had seen him smile so brightly. He would smile politely at people, but that smile did not seem real. His happiness must be genuine at this moment. Just then, Andrew and Ada came out of their rooms, rubbing their eyes at the same time. Kisa could not help but be amused; they were waking up at the same time and behaving in the same way-they were unmistakably twins. ¡°Wow, Ma¡¯am. It is so amazing. You have made so much breakfast.¡± Andrew eximed in amazement when he saw the breakfast on the table. ¡°I didn¡¯t make these. It was ke who made them,¡± Kisa said with amusement. ¡°Wow!¡± Andrew and Ada eximed in unison. Ada ran over and looked at ke in disbelief. ¡°Did you re ally make all this?¡± ke nodded his head. ¡°You can try itter and see if it is good.¡± ¡°Wow.¡± Ada was still amazed. ¡°ke, you are amazing, simply better than my daddy.¡± ke was a little embarrassed by thepliment. ¡°My dad is even better. He taught me all these things.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t your godfather our uncle?¡± Andrew asked. ¡°In that case, Uncle is really better than Daddy.¡± Ada nodded approvingly. Kisa regretted Gilbert was not here at the moment, for if he were here, he would have heard what his two children said and been upset. She knew Gilbert could not stand it when people said that he was not as good as Jensen, especially when it was his own children who said that. ¡°Your daddy is also amazing.

Kisa could not figure out what was going on in the children¡¯s minds.

But he is not here anymore.¡± ¡°And do you miss him?¡± ¡°Yes, of course. I miss him. I even miss him in my dreams. I wish he were still here. He would be as old as you are if he did because he was also born on New Year¡¯s Eve that year.¡± She always smiled when facing the child, but deep down inside, her heart ached. ke pursed his lips and hugged her arm. ¡°Don¡¯t be sad, Ma¡¯am. If you miss him, you can treat me as him.¡± Kisa stared at him in shock, not believing that these words wereing from a five¨Cyear¨C old¡¯s mouth. But ke¡¯s good behavior and understanding also saddened her. Other children were still growing up under the care of their parents when they were this old. But ke already knew how to take care of adults. She patted his back affectionately. ¡°Okay. You can be my child if you want.¡± ke plunged into her arms with a smile of contentment on his face. ¡®I didn¡¯t know that Mommy still mis sed my siblings and me. Poor Mommy; she thought we were gone. I must take good care of Mommy from now on. After breakfast, Kisa drove them to school and then rushed to the set. Although the day was hasty and she was tired, it was fulfilling. She especially liked to spend time with these three children. Sometimes, it might look as if she took care of these three children, but in fact, they were the ones who took care of her. ke, in particr, knew how to take care of people. For example, at night, before going to bed, he would bring her a ss of milk, just hoping she would sleep well. Today, the shooting during the day went extra smoothly. The director suddenly added extra scenes on a whim. When it was time to pick up the children from school, Kisa became anxious. It did not help that L ea was sick and in the hospital on an IV. Otherwise, Lea could have helped pick up the children. As the shooting in the evening was over, the staff gave each person a box of takeout. They had only ha lf an hour before the shooting of the night scene started. It was a scene on a rainy night. The weather forecast predicted there would be heavy rain tonight around 7.00 pm, and this was exactly what they wanted because it s aved them the hassle of creating artificial rainfall. Kisa was not even in the mood to eat. She went through all the names she knew in her head but still co uld not find the right person to pick up the children. Two hours had passed since the end of the school day. The Kooper family had sent no one to pick them up. She knew because the school had called, telling her that the three children were still waiting for her at school. She wanted to take a leave of absence from the director, but as everyone was in such high spirits and everything was ready to go, she, as the lead actress, could not walk away and waste everyone¡¯s time just like that. After hesitating for a long time, Kisa called Gilbert. She did not know if he was still in Calthon at the moment. A all, she had not seen him for days. But upon weighing other options, she found he was the only one who could pick up the children. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. In the CEO¡¯s office of GK Pictures, Gilbert stared quietly and expressionlessly at the caller ID on his cell phone screen. Davian craned his neck and got a glimpse of Gilbert¡¯s phone before he said cautiously, ¡°Mr. Kooper, Mrs. Kooper is calling you.¡± Gilbert shot him a look. ¡°I¡¯m not blind.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 393 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 393 Chapter 393 In the End, He Compromised ¡°Okay.¡± Davian answered respectfully, clutching the files and looking at him cautiously, but he did not dare to say anything more. Gilbert still did not answer the phone. It was apparent that he deliberately did not answer the phone, but he seemed to be upset as if someone did not answer his call. His expression became even sullener after the phone stopped ringing. Davian hated this call. ¡®Before this call came, Mr. Kooper was still quite normal and was discussing business with me. But when the call came, his face immediately turned surly. I really don¡¯t k now what is wrong with himtely. In the past, he would be in a good mood when his wife called, and h e would even reward me when he was on a high. But this time, it is the opposite. When I saw it was his wife who called, I reminded him to take the call, thinking that he would be happy. But it seems that I wo uld have to pretend not to see anything next time.¡® Gilbert leaned back in his chair, tapping the edge of the desk with his fingers while staring with cold eye s at the phone screen that had dimmed. 1 Davian felt Gilbert had recently be erratic again. He¡¯s the one who did not want to answer the phone, but he looks like he is expecting another call from his wife.¡¯ Just as he was thinking, Gilbert¡¯s cell phone suddenly rang again. Davian craned his neck and saw that it was Gilbert¡¯s wife calling again. He was so happy that he subconsciously reminded Gilbert again, ¡°Mr. Kooper, Mrs. Kooper is calling again.¡± He then realized that he should not have made a sound, and he hurriedly lowe red his head and took a few steps back, trying to reduce his sense of presence. Gilbert said nothing. Just like earlier, he stared at the ringing phone with the same expressionless face. As if because ofpulsion, Davian felt anxious and wanted to answer the phone right away when he heard the phone keep ringing. He pursed his lips, and finally, he could not hold back any longer and said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, your wife called twice in a row. I¡¯m afrai d she might have something urgent. Why don¡¯t you answer it?¡± ¡°None of your business. Get out.¡± Gilbert shot a cold nce at him. Davian quickly nodded his head. ¡°I will leave now. Call me if you need me.¡± With that, he went out like a bat out of hell. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. After the door of the CEO¡¯s office closed, Gilbert stared at the caller ID on the phone screen for a few more seconds, then reached out his hand to pick it up. Just then, the ringing of his mobile phone sto woman is freaking impatient, hanging up before the phone finished ringing.¡¯ He pushed the phone away in annoyance, then leaned back in his chair to take some shut¨C eye with his brows knitted together. The CEO¡¯s office was quiet, as his phone did not make noise again after ringing twice. Feeling unusually about to fly out of his hand. After a long while, he cursed in a low voice as he finally could not resist the compromised and called her back. At all times, there was nothing he could do about her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 394 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 394 Chapter 394 No One is Left Behind ¡°Roy, since there are no more scenes for you, can you do me a favor?¡± Kisa had no choice but to ask Roy, as she had gone through her contact list and still could not find someone who she could trust to pick up th e children. Roy was nice and helpful. He smiled and said, ¡°Sure. Whatever you need, just ask.¡± ¡°My friend has left me with three children to look after, and they are at school waiting for me to pick them up. But I still have a few scenes to shoot, so I wonder if you could help pick them up for me and bring them to my ce?¡± ¡°Sure. Which school is it?¡± Roy agreed at once. Kisa took out her phone. When she was about to send him the name and address of the school, Gilbert suddenly called. She hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call. ¡°What is it?¡± The man¡¯s tone was indolent and cold, unpleasant to hear. Kisa took a breath and replied, ¡°Nothing.¡± ¡°Nothing? Then why did you call me twice in a row? Just tell me what it is, and don¡¯t y hard to get here.¡± Gilbert grunted and fiddled with t he rubber stamp on his desk. From what he knew about this woman, she would never have called him for nothing, let alone twice in a row. Kisa choked in exasperation, and then she tried to speak calmly. ¡°It is nothing, really. I just wanted you to pick up the children.¡± Gilbert frowned, his tone of voice getting even colder with a note of resentment. ¡°You still haven¡¯t picked them up at this hour?¡± Kisa let out a sneer upon hearing the resentment in his words. ¡°If I could get away, I wouldn¡¯t have asked you to pick them up. ¡°I Gilbert was already on his feet, putting on his coat as he walked out the door. ¡°Okay. I will go get them now.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Kisa had not expected him to do that, and he was bellicose. ¡°I have already asked my colleague to pick them up, so you can go on about your business,¡± she said tly. Gilbert frowned. ¡°How could you just find any Tom, Dick and Harry to pick up the children? Is it because they are not your children that y ou couldn¡¯t care less?¡± Kisaughed in exasperation. ¡°I couldn¡¯t care less? Aren¡¯t you the one who couldn¡¯t care less when you leave your children with me? You know, with our past feuds, I could have hurt them at any time.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°But don¡¯t worry. Roy is trustworthy, or at least I trust him. I see nothing wrong with asking him to pick up the children for me.¡±Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°No.¡± When he heard how much she trusted Roy, jealousy rose within him. Gilbert fought back his anger and said in a not¨Cto-be¨Cquestioned tone of voice, ¡°When do my children need to be picked up by someone else? I¡¯m going to pick them up now.¡± Kisa said nothing more. After all, Andrew and Ada were his children. It was best if he could pick them up in person and not bother others. The reason she just said what she had said was that she was angry and wanted to irk him. She thought of ke and said, ¡°It is three children, including ke. No one should be left behind, understand?¡± ¡°Got it,¡± Gilbert answered in a bitter voice and asked no more questions. When he walked out of the CEO¡¯s office, Davian hurriedly came up to him. ¡°Mr. Kooper, are you still going to spend the night at the office today?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 395 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 395 Chapter 395 Improper to Have Physical Contact Gilbert held that thought for a few seconds and proceeded to shake his head, ¡°Not for tonight.¡® Davian could feel his heart burst with joy. It was almost about to make him cry. These days, Mr. Kooper worked overtime at his company like a maniac. He would take extra shifts every day until 11 or 12 midnight. In the end, he opted to sleep right in thepany building. Davian suffered because he apanied Gilbert at thepany building for many days. If Gilbert was to continue to go all out like this, Davian was afraid that he would go insane. On the other end, Roy was looking at Kisa slightly expectantly. He asked, ¡°Ms. Kis¨¤, do you still need me to fetch the kids?¡± Because Kisa was older than Roy by one or two years hence on all asions at the production set, Ro y would call her Ms. Kisa. Kisa shook her head at Roy, ¡°No need, their dad will fetch them. Thanks for t he offer, though.¡± The glint in Roy¡¯s eyes dimmed a little, but he still gave a warmhearted smile, ¡°You¡¯re wee. If you need help from me in the future, you can tell me anytime.¡± ¡°Oh, Mr. Pord. You are truly a wonderful person,¡± Kisa praised. At that moment, a sharp, sarcasticugh suddenly appeared. Kisa lifted her gaze. From her glimpse, she saw Sharon and Cndina walking toward them, and the Sharon had both her arms crossed in front of her chest. She had an attitude of an international diva whi le smiling at Roy and said, ¡°My assistant sprained her ankles identally. Could I ask this wonderful pers on if he would be willing to carry my assistant back to the car?¡± Kisa, hearing this, nced at Cndina for a moment instinctively. However, she only saw Cndina h anging her head in awkwardness. Both of her legs were firmly nted on the ground. There were no si gns of any sprains at all. Sharon was apparently trying to put Roy in a difficult position on purpose. Roy had a lot of poprity and was at the top of his game at the moment, so Sharon was definitely trying to cause a scandal between Roy and Cndina so that Roy¡¯s image and reputation would be affected. However, Roy seemed to have thought of this point. He stood there, not moving, and smiled politely at Sharon, saying, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s improper for me to have physical contact with someone I don¡¯t know. Besides, I can see that your assistant¡¯s ankle sprain does not seem that severe. I think Ms. Case could carry her to the car.¡± Cndina shook Sharon¡¯s arm with her face full of embarrassment and gestured for Sharon to stop speaking. However, Sharon ignored her. She instantly ridiculed Roy by saying, ¡°Eh? Seems like Mr. Pord¡¯s treatment differs between each person. If it was Kisa Becker who opened her mouth to ask, Mr. Pords definitely would¡¯veplied, regardless of what favor was asked. In fact , if it was Kisa Becker who had sprained her ankle instead, Mr. Pord would¡¯ve carried her to the car v oluntarily without her having to say anything.¡± She continued, ¡°Tsk, tsk. So, this is differential treatment. Who knew Mr. Pord would prefer her, Kisa Becker, and not my assistant.¡± Roy¡¯s expression changed, and he warned her,¡± Ms. Case, please refrain from spouting nonsense.¡± ¡°Oh no, I¡¯m spouting nonsense?¡± Sharon faked her cluelessness while looking at him,¡± Then I would like Kisa Becker?¡± Kisa stood at the side,pletely speechless. Sharon honestly would say anything to humiliate Roy. Ro with the respect of an older sister. Kisa needed to find out from which angle Roy seemed to like her. Roy¡¯s face seemed to flush red slightly, and he did not speak. Sharon coldly tightened her lips into a smile.

You¡¯re even stopping hi m from doing this.¡± Kisa lowered her gaze and gave a small smile. She then spoke unhurriedly, ¡°Roy is at the top of his ga me now. His poprity is so high. Why would he want to carry a lowly assistant into a car? What if he w as spotted by a media reporter, and then it gets scribbled out into some nonsense?¡± Kisa then continued, ¡°Or perhaps, both of you pulled this stunt on purpose just to attempt to establish r tions with him so that you can use him to further your positions?¡± Sharon instantly burst outughing as if hearing the world¡¯s funniest joke, ¡°You should stop joking. Even though he is at the top of his game, I am an international superstar. I don¡¯t need him to further my career.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need him, but that doesn¡¯t mean your assistant is in the same situation. Look at her; her legs are fine. Where does it look like she sprained he r legs?¡± Kisa answered. Cndina, upon hearing this was furious to the point of popping her eyeballs out. She then said,¡± I, I, I¡­ Why wouldn¡¯t I have a sprained leg? From which angle does it seem I don¡¯t have a sprained leg?¡± As she said so, she purposedly lifted one of her legs and shown in a hrious stance. Kisa gave a cold chuckle and said to Sharon, ¡°Superstar Sharon, don¡¯t me me for not reminding you to stop pampering your assistant too much re grly. Look at her; she tried to fake a sprained leg to seduce Roy today. This shows that she has quite a few tricks up her sleeve. Someday, she might try to overtake you and crawl all over you. Now that would be a sight to see.¡± ¡°She wouldn¡¯t dare!¡± Sharon said and immediately stared coldly at Cndina. Cndina quickly grabbed Sharon¡¯s arm and cried in chagrin, ¡°I would not. Don¡¯t listen to her nonsense, Ms. Case. Besides, you clearly knew that the sprained leg was your idea. I¡­ I never agreed to it in the first ce, I¡­¡± ¡°You, shut up!¡± Sharon growled through gritted teeth. Kisa suppressed herugh and spoke, ¡°Turns out your assistant really didn¡¯t have a sprained leg, and she even said you came up with the idea. Tsk, tsk, as a great international superstar, why would you use such underhanded tactics?¡± ¡°Who¡­ who said she didn¡¯t sprain her leg?¡± Sharon replied shakily. ¡°It¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true. I sprained my leg. I really did sprain my leg!¡± Cndina hurriedly agreed as she was afraid that Sharon would be angry. Sharon sarcastically jeered at Kisa and Roy, ¡°It¡¯s fine that both of you don¡¯t want to help us but is it necessary for you to start ndering us indiscriminately?¡± At that moment, the wire technician and the personnel who worked on the cameras walked past them. These staff members had burly towering figures and muscr, rigid bodies. Kisa let out a snicker and gave Sharon a deep, meaningful smile, ¡°Oh! So, her leg is really sprained. Th en we should really get someone to carry her to the car.¡± As she said it, she gged one of the personnel and smiled politely, ¡°You there, big fe.

Could you help Ms. Case carry her assistant back to the car?¡± ¡°Of course, it would be an honor,¡± The staff that responded was a big burly man. Even though he smiled kindly, it still seemed very menacing. Despite Cndina being reluctant, she couldn¡¯t say a thing. Sharon coldly stared at Kisa. Kisa responded with a bright smile and said, ¡°This big fe here will be helping you.

Yes, just like that¡­¡± Although he knew Kisa had set him up for that night, he still treated her like she was a treasure and gave him all of his gentleness and patience. While, she, too, still remembered the tenderness that night. As the memories of the past swirled in his mind, that scene of that night appeared in his mind. A self¨Cdeprecating smile then appeared at the corners of his lips. ¡®That night, her eyes were deep as she looked at him and yed along with me. Did she take me for Jensen?¡® He snuffed out the cigarette butt, and a look of resentment appeared between his brows. The bathroom door opened. Kisa then walked out of it dressed in her bathrobe. Gilbert saw her delicate ankles and the scars from the scratches caused by the branch of her calf. His gaze turned gloomy as he wanted to grab her. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Yet, the woman seemingly did not see him as she walked straight to her room. His fingers only managed to touch the corner of her robe. Gilbert watched as the woman walked back to her room and closed the door behind her. He let out a bitter snort before putting his hand away. ¡®She¡¯s totally ignoring me now, huh.¡® He straightened himself up and went outside. Hearing the sound of the main gate outside opening, Kisa slowly walked over to the window. Soon, the man walked out of the building. She quietly watched as he drove away, with no expression on her face. It was only until the car had disappeared into the night did she turn around andy on her bed. Kisa did not know whether it was because she did not have dinner or because she was caught in the rain, she felt weak. Shey groggily on the bed but did not manage a sound sleep. She felt so cold even when under the quilt, but her body was clearly very hot. Kisa curled up in the nket, lucid at times, in a daze at times. When she was in a daze, she felt like she was dreaming as countless images appeared in her mind. Some were happy, some were painful, some were bitter, but there were no sweet ones. When she woke up again, she looked at the darkness before her as an inexplicable fear gripped her heart. She pulled the quilt tight as cold sweat broke out all over her body. Suddenly, someone opened her door.

The strength exerted on her neck increased and she gradually found it more and more difficult to breathe. Just as she thought she was about to suffocate to death, her body was suddenly shaken with force. ¡°Kisa, wake up! Kisa¡­¡± Kisa suddenly woke up, and beneath the dim light, she saw Gilbert looking at her anxiously. At this moment, she had forgotten about all of her grievances against him as that lingering fear still gripped her heart. She threw herself into his arms, trembling all over. ¡°There¡¯s a shadow, a ck shadow¡­ a ck shadow¡­¡± Gilbert hugged her tight and said, ¡°No, you were just dreaming. That shadow is just the fear hidden in your heart.¡± Kisa shook her head, her body trembling. Gilbert did not say anything as he just stroke her back again and again. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. After a while, Kisa¡¯s trembling lessened somewhat. Gilbert gently pushed her away, and noticing the abnormal blush on her face, he inwardly spat. He then raised his hand to touch her head, and sure enough, it was frighteningly hot. Kisa hugged herself as her dry lips trembled, ¡°So cold, so, so cold¡­¡± Gilbert got up and Kisa immediately grabbed his arm. She looked at him fearfully, as if she was grasping onto a life buoy as she tugged him tightly. ¡°Don¡¯t go, I¡¯m scared. Don¡¯t go¡­¡± She had seemingly forgotten that the man before her was the man she had hated all her life. Gilbert had aplicated look in his eyes as he gently patted her hand, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not leaving. I¡¯m just going to get some water.¡± However, Kisa did not seem to listen as she held his hand tightly. Gilbert stroked her wet hair as he consoled her, ¡°I¡¯m just going to get water for you. You¡¯ll get better after having a sip.¡± Kisa looked at him in a daze, her eyes somewhat hollow. He pursed his lips as he broke free from her grasp. He quickly walked out of the room, poured a ss of warm water before taking the hair dryer and the medicine he went out to buy earlier. By the time he got back to the room, Kisa sat motionlessly there. He did not know whether it was because she was sick, but at this moment she looked particrly fragile and vulnerable, not unlike a fragile porcin. Gilbert strode over and brought the medicine and water before her as he said, ¡°Be a good girl, take the medicine.¡± Kisa had a nked look on her face and did not move. He patiently repeated himself, ¡°Be a good girl, take the medicine.¡± Kisa still did not move. His eyes sank for a moment before he shoved the medicine into his mouth and then took a big gulp of water. Immediately after, he grabbed her waist, pulled her head back and locked onto her mouth as he fed her the medicine one by one. Kisa was stunned for a good while before she realized what was going on and immediately pounded him on the shoulder. Listen to the rest of the chapter in audio Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 408 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 408 Chapter 408 Don¡¯t Be Afraid, I¡¯m Not Going Anywhere Gilbert stroked her wet and cold hair as he said with a somewhat admonishing tone, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you sleep only after drying your hair? Be careful of catching a headache.¡± As he said that, he plugged the hair dryer in, lifting her hair up as he blow¨Cdried her hair. Kisa did not say a word but her fingers held onto the quilt tightly. She really thought he had left just now. ¡®If he hadn¡¯te back just now, was I going to die from that asphyxiating fear just now?¡® Thinking of that dream earlier, she could not help but to shudder and feeling colder all over. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Gilbert patiently blew her hair dry. No one spoke as the only the sound of the hair dryer echoed across the room. After a while, his long fingers easily passed through her hair. Only when it was clear to him that every strand of her hair was dry, did he turn the hair dryer off. As he put it aside, he held his hand out and pushed the stray strands of her on her face to the back of her ear as he asked, ¡°Are you tired? Want to sleep?¡± Kisa shook her head in silence. Although she was in a daze now, that dream had really scared her and it would be difficult for her to fall asleep again. Gilbert held her shoulder and leaned her against the headboard. ¡°Have some rest then.¡± As he said that, he got up. Kisa asked anxiously, ¡°Where are you going?¡± At this juncture, she was both flustered and helpless, weak, and pitiful. Even if he was her nemesis, the person she hated the most, she still hoped that he could stay with her a moment longer. That nightmare struck fear in her and she did not want to spend this long night alone. No matter what grudge Gilbert was nursing against her, no matter how much he resented her, his heart softened upon seeing her like that. He smiled at her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m not going anywhere.¡± The man¡¯s smile caused her heart to tremble. She looked away and stared at the slightly shaking curtains in a daze. Gilbert looked at her side profile before turning around and lifting the quilt up. Kisa was taken aback and immediately retracted her leg, but the man quickly grabbed onto it. ¡°Don¡¯t move. You¡¯ve been scratched in many ces. I¡¯ll medicate them so they¡¯ll heal a bit faster.¡± Normally, she would have rejected the man¡¯s kindness, or even toss a few venomous jabs his way. But today, perhaps because of her illness, she did not want to speak, so she let him apply medication on the wounds on her leg. She leaned weakly against the headboard, the difort causing her to frown a little. Chapter 408 Don¡¯t Be Afraid, I¡¯m Not Going Anywhere Seeing her frown, Gilbert could not help but to be gentler in applying the medicine. He then asked her, ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Kisa closed her eyes slightly and did not say anything. But a momentter, she shook her head. Gilbert pursed his lips before continuing to apply medicine on her. Although there were many scratches on her calf, the wounds were not deep. Gilbert medicated each and every single one of the wound, and when he was done, he said, ¡°Cover yourself up once they¡¯ve dried up.¡± Listen to the rest of the chapter in audio Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 409 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 409 Chapter 409 The One She epts Is He, Gilbert Kooper Gilbert acquiesced. He put the medicine away and then sat quietly beside her. Kisa did not say anything. She only gave him a nce before closing her eyes. After ten plus minutes, Gilbert gave the wounds on a leg a careful inspection. After seeing that the medicine had already dried, he put the quilt over her leg. However, when he did that, the woman did not react all. ¡®Has she fallen asleep?¡® As he thought of that, he came before her and called out to her. She did not respond. He could not help but to chuckle a little. ¡®You¡¯re so exhausted and yet you said you don¡¯t want to sleep.¡® But what he did not know was, the reason she could sleep so soundly was because he was by her side. He gently held her body andid her down. After putting the quilt over here, he stood up and wanted to go to the sofa to sleep. But just as he got up, the woman grabbed his hand. She looked at him with misty eyes, her hoarse voice sorrowful and helpless. ¡°Don¡¯t go¡­¡± Gilbert looked at her dazed eyes and could no longer suppress the feelings in his heart. He suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the lips, his tali body instantly covering hers. He kissed her in a frenzy, his hand even slipped into her clothes. But the moment his fingers touched her burning hot body, his senses finally reined in his impulse. ¡®What am I doing? She¡¯s still sick, how can I do this to her?¡® He lifted himself off her, his dark eyes staring at the woman under him. ¡®She did not refuse me just now.¡® He pursed his lips and cautiously asked, ¡°Can you tell who I am?¡± Kisa looked at him in a daze, her chest heaving violently. After a good while, she smoke, her voice dazed and confused, ¡°You¡¯re¡­ Gilbert.¡± When he heard her saying his name, Gilbert felt a surge of joy that he could not put to words. Regardless of the fact that she did not refuse him because she was sick and slightly delirious, but that moment, she was willing to ept him. When he thought of that, his heart was a mess. He looked down and kissed her forehead, his voice hoarse. ¡°Sleep tight. I¡¯ll be right beside you.¡± Kisa nodded in a daze before closing her eyes. Gilbert was ted and pecked her on the lips again before lying sideways beside her, his long arms holding her tight in his embrace. Hugging her tightly as if he had the satisfaction of obtaining the world. Yet, the woman in his arms had already fallen asleep. She was in such a deep sleep that she did not even move in his arms. At night, she was sweating all over, as she mumbled about, iming to be hot for a while, and cold another while. When she was hot, she even kicked the quilt aside. Gilbert could only stay by her side to cover her up again. When she was cold, she would squirm her way into his arms. How he wished she would keep being cold.

Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 410 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 410 Chapter 410 Seemed to Be a Pipe Dream There was nobody besides Kisa, and the entire house was silent. Kisa raised her arm and put it on her forehead. She stared nkly at the ceiling. The chaotic and ambiguous scenes fromst night appeared in her mind. She felt a little irritable. ¡®Both of us are mortal enemies. Things that happenedst night mean nothing. Although I was unconsciousst night, I could also deeply feel his gentleness and patience. He obviously hates me so much. But why did he treat me so wellst night? Is it because I¡¯m pitiful? Or he deliberately disguised deep love to make me lose my heart purposely?¡® The more Kisa guessed, the more irritable she was. She shook her head to shake off those disturbing thoughts. Then, she sat up with her weak body. ¡®At this time, the kids should have gone to school, and he should have gone to thepany.¡® Kisa endured the dizziness in her head, got out of bed, and walked out slowly. She skipped dinnerst night and had been sick. She was excessive fatigue and weak at this moment. She leaned on a cab and panted hard after she walked into the living room. Suddenly, she saw a shadow moving in the kitchen before she could catch her breath. She frowned and looked carefully. ¡®It¡¯s Gilbert!¡® She could not tell if she was feeling irritable or pleased. She leaned on the cab and had a complicated mind.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Gilbert cooked five to six dishes in the kitchen for two hours. He looked at the dishes with satisfaction. Suddenly, he saw a weak woman leaning on the cab when he was walking out with dishes. He was startled. He quickly put the dishes on the dining table and rushed over to help her. ¡°You¡¯re awake. Are you feeling better?¡± Kisa frowned and said, ¡°Why are you still here?¡± ¡®The icy tone is exactly the same when she is about to hurt my feelings in usual. It seems like the vulnerable and defenseless woman is no longer there. The gentle and well¨Cbehaved Kisa who needed me all the time seemed to be a pipe dream.¡¯ Gilbert put away his upset and said to her, ¡°I¡¯ve cooked for you. Go over and taste some.¡± Kisa was weak and had no intention of arguing with him. She just let him help her to sit in front of the dining table. Gilbert ran into the kitchen again and brought out other dishes. There were five dishes and a soup. All of them looked delicious. But he has never cooked before. Suddenly, Kisa thought of what ke said that day. She looked at Gilbert. She pursed her lips and asked, ¡® Do¡­ you like to cook?¡± Gilbert was stunned for a moment. Then, he said seriously, ¡°Technically, I don¡¯t like to cook.¡± ¡°Why¡­¡± ¡°But it depends on who I¡¯m cooking for I¡¯m willing to learn to cook, and I also like to cook for some people.¡± Gilbert¡¯s answer was simr to ke¡¯s answer that day. Kisa¡¯s heartbeat could not help but speed up a bit when facing his deep¨Cset eyes. She looked down and stopped thinking about it. She just ate silently. Gilbert stared at the way she ate, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly. ¡®Although she¡¯s still indifferent, at least she didn¡¯t keep hurting me with every sentence as usual.¡® Gilbert took a spoon and filled a bowl with soup. He gave her the soup and whispered, ¡°You¡¯re weak. Drink some soup to make up.¡± Kisa remained silent. Listen to the rest of the chapter in audio Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 411 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 411 Chapter 411 It¡¯s Hard to Be a Celebrity Kisa stopped eating. She rejected the invitation. ¡°You can go by yourself. Why do I have to go?¡± Gilbert felt annoyed that she never took the initiative to care for their children. But on second thought, she did not know the children belonged to her. It was reasonable that she did not care so much about them. The anger in his heart dissipated instantly without a trace when thinking of this. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. He said to her in an injured tone, ¡°I barely sleptst night. I was afraid of idents by driving out like this, so I asked you to go together.¡± The bits and pieces of Gilbert taking care of herst night came to Kisa¡¯s mind again. Kisa¡¯s mind wasplicated, but she still said, ¡°Ask Davian to go with you.¡± ¡°Davian has to work. He has to handle everything when I¡¯m not in thepany.¡± Kisa was about to say something else. Gilbert sighed suddenly, ¡°It¡¯s almost the end of autumn, and the weather is getting colder. The children¡¯s clothes are not ready for the season, especially ke¡¯s. He has nothing, even the toothpaste, and toothbrush for washing. He was still wearing Andrew¡¯s clothes in the morning. That¡¯s why¡­¡± ¡°Well, we¡¯ll go after the meal,¡± said Kisa in a t tone. She did not want to listen to his long¨Cwinded words. Gilbert smiled instantly, ¡°I¡¯ll get changed first. Take your time to eat.¡± Kisa stared at his excited back and felt he could switch his anger or happiness in the instant. ¡®He was so happy when I just promised him to buy things for the children together with him. I still don¡¯t get this man.¡® Kisa wore a casual tracksuit to go out. She also wore a cap, a mask, and sunsses. Gilbert looked at her suited up. He shook his head andughed, ¡°It¡¯s hard to be a celebrity.¡± ¡°I told you I¡¯m not going out, but you asked for it,¡± Kisa snorted sullenly. Gilbert smiled and pulled her into the car. ¡°You just recovered from illness. You will be more refreshed when you go out for a walk.¡± He went around the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat after pressing Kisa into the driver¡¯s seat. He leaned his head against the car window and smiled at her. ¡°You drive us there. I¡¯ll take a nap.¡± ¡°Where¡­ should I go?¡± ¡°Well, we only want to shop for the kids. You can decide where to go.¡± He closed his eyes and leaned against the car window to rest after speaking. Kisa stared at him nkly. He was wearing a light gray thin sweater today. His short hair was slightly messy and casual. He was not as harsh and cold as usual but more casual andzier. Kisa retracted her gaze and started the car quietly. She did not notice the corners of his mouth slightly curving in a beautiful arc at that moment. Kisa checked the navigation. Finally, she decided to go to the nearest department store. They arrived at the parking area of the department store in about half an hour. Kisa parked the car and turned to look at him. She saw he was sleeping soundly, and there was even a slight snoring. She pursed her lips. She just got out of the car quietly without waking him up. She knew that he did not sleepst night. Listen to the rest of the chapter in audio Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 412 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 412 Chapter 412 There Are All Kinds of People Nowadays Gilbert panicked suddenly upon seeing the seat next to him was empty. He hurriedly got out of the car and looked around. This is a parking lot next to a department store. ¡®Is it that she went shopping for the children herself as she saw me fall asleep? With that thought, Gilbert quickly took out his phone and called her. There was no answer to the first call, and her phone was off for the second call. He gritted his teeth bitterly. ¡®Terrible! It¡¯s fine if she doesn¡¯t want to go shopping with me. Is it necessary to forget him in the car? She doesn¡¯t even answer the call and deliberately turns the phone off now.¡¯ Gilbert suppressed the resentment in his mind and walked into the mall angrily. Kisa walked into a famous brand of children¡¯s clothing store. A staff quickly greeted her with enthusiasm. ¡°Miss, are you buying clothes for your child? How old is your child?¡± Kisa looked around the store and said, ¡°Five years old.¡± ¡°Is that a boy or a girl?¡± ¡°I want both boy and girl clothes.¡± The staff got a few styles to show her immediately after listening. There are few styles for boys, but many for girls. There are all kinds of skirts. Kisa walked around the girls¡¯ clothing area for a while. Finally, she picked five skirts, two sweaters, and three coats. She chose several suits ording to the staff¡¯s introduction for boys¡¯ clothes. In total, there were more than 20 clothes for three children. They piled up on the cash desk as high as a hill. The cashier was overjoyed. After scanning the code, she put them into a paper bag and smiled at Kisa, ¡± There is a total of 158,000 after the discount.¡± Kisa nodded. She wanted to take out her phone from her pocket and nned to scan the code to pay. But she did not expect her pocket was empty. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Her heart began to lurch. She felt in her pockets carefully but still could not find her phone. Suddenly, she thought someone inexplicably bumped her hard when she just came out of the bathroom Is it my phone being stolen at that time?¡¯ The smile on the cashier¡¯s face gradually became colder when she saw Kisa could not find any money. She began to wonder if Kisa was a psycho as Kisa wrapped tightly. The cashier looked Kisa up and down. The more she looked, the more she felt that Kisa was abnormal. She said impatiently, ¡°A total of $158,000 Are you paying with a credit card?¡± Kisa nced at the packaged clothes and felt embarrassed. She said to the cashier, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my phone is gone. I don¡¯t have a wallet with me. I¡­¡± The cashier took the well-packed clothes rudely and took them out one by one before Kisa could finish her words. She hummed disdainfully, ¡°How can you buy clothes without money? It¡¯s really annoying that we have to introduce them to you for so long, and we need to put them back now.¡± Other staff also showed unpleasant faces while seeing this. ¡°Exactly! Why do youe to buy clothes without money? Your phone was gone, and you didn¡¯t bring your wallet? There¡¯s no such coincidence.¡± ¡°True! What are you?

A familiar cold voice suddenly came from above Kisa¡¯s head before she could react. ¡°Who¡­ are you saying have no money?¡± The staff were stunned. They stared at him with joy and awe. ¡°M¨CMr. Kooper!¡± Gilbert looked at them with a chuckle. ¡°Who are you saying has no money just now?¡± The staff who pushed Kisa said quickly, ¡°It was this sneaky woman. She picked a bunch of clothes, but she has no money to pay for them. I think she must have just escaped from the mental hospital.¡± Suddenly, Gilbert took Kisa in his arms as soon as the female staff finished. The few staff instantly widened their eyes and looked at him in horror. ¡°M¨CMr. Kooper, what are you doing? I¨CIsn¡¯t she crazy?¡± Gilbert chuckled coldly. ¡°I never know my woman was someone penniless or even mentally¨Cill. You are amazing!¡± The chuckle made all the staff in the store so frightened that their legs went weak. The staff said quickly, ¡°I¨CI¡¯m sorry, Mr. Kooper. We didn¡¯t know she was your woman. Every month, there would be one or two people who would choose a bunch of clothes but have no money to pay for them. W- We thought she was the same.¡± ¡°Yes. Mr. Kooper, she covered herself tightly in broad daylight. You can¡¯t me us for thinking she was mentally ill.¡± The staff¡¯s voice gradually faded, and all of them stared at Gilbert in horror. Gilbert¡¯s face was cold. ¡°I think with your attitude just now, there are no positions in Calthon that are suitable for you.¡± ¡°No, Mr. Kooper!¡± The few staff were so frightened that their faces turned pale. ¡®Doesn¡¯t that mean we would never find a job in Calthon in the future? He cut off our livelihood. We heard the rumors about Mr. Kooper being cruel and ruthless. They turn out to be not just rumors.¡® The staff were crying and so anxious that they did not know what to do. Kisa looked at them and suddenly recalled the hardships she had faced because of her hideous face when she was looking for a job five years ago. ¡®They didn¡¯t cross the line. It was because I lost my phone and had no money to pay.¡± Kisa tugged at Gilbert¡¯s sleeve. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Gilbert lowered his eyes to look at her and said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared. Let me know how you want me to punish them.¡± The few staff looked at Kisa with pieading in their eyes. Kisa said softly, ¡°I picked out many clothes for the kids. Go and settle the bill.¡± ¡°But they¡­¡± At 10% boying Have No Money? ¡°This happened because my phone was missing and I had no money to pay. Their reaction was justifiable. You shouldn¡¯t be at odds over this.¡± ¡®It turns out that her phone is gone. No wonder she didn¡¯t answer my call. Gilbert¡¯s mood suddenly improved a lot while thinking of this. He strode to the cash desk and threw a card directly at the cashier.

Since you are here, why don¡¯t you buy it all here at once?¡± the cashier said and looked at Kisa. The cashier softened up at the thought of Kisa having put in a good word for her and her colleagues.¡± Please excuse our ignorance. We apologize. It is almost the end of the month, and we have not hit our sales target yet. Since you have not bought enough, why don¡¯t you continue to select a few more pieces here, saving you a lot of hassle while helping us out?¡± Gilbert leaned against the cashier counter and smiled. He fiddled with the credit card in his hand and looked at Kisa like he was watching a show. He was expecting Kisa to help out these people with kindness. But Kisa suddenly said, ¡°Mr. Kooper is the one who will pay the bills. He can go to whichever shop he wants. It is not up to me.¡± The cashier was disappointed, but she still maintained a smile. ¡°It is okay. You are wee to visit our shop next time. We have thetest and the best fashion in town.¡± Kisa said nothing and looked at Gilbert. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Gilbert smiled, carried the clothes with one hand, and wrapped around her shoulders with the other as they walked out. The shop assistants saw them out respectfully. ¡°Take care, Mr. Kooper. Pleasee again.¡± Once outside, Kisa pushed Gilbert¡¯s hand away from her shoulder. Gilbert hissed. ¡°So are you discarding me after use? You weren¡¯t this snobby when I helped you keep up appearances.¡± Kisa lowered her baseball cap and asked in a soft voice, ¡°What brought you here?¡± She had only been shopping for an hour, and then he showed up. She thought he would have slept for at least two or three hours. ¡°If I hadn¡¯te, they might have bullied you,¡± Gilbert said coldly. ¡°They couldn¡¯t. I wouldn¡¯t have bought those clothes, but just left.¡± She then frowned. ¡°I have lost my phone.¡± ¡°I know. I will buy one for youter.¡± Belonging ?

I will give it to youter.¡± ¡°No, I remember his number.¡± It was just a casual remark, but the man¡¯s face instantly darkened. ¡°Oh, you still remember his number, huh?¡± His voice reeked of mockery and jealousy. Kisa looked at him, baffled. ¡°I have always remembered his number. What is wrong with that?¡° Listen to the rest of the chapter in audio Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 415 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 415 Chapter 415 He Has Terrible Fashion Taste Gilbert stopped in his tracks and held back his feelings of surprise before saying calmly, ¡°D-Did you say you remembered my number?¡± ¡°Yeah. What is the problem?¡± ¡°W-When did you start remembering it?¡± His started to sound nervous. ¡°I can¡¯t recall.¡± Kisa did not think the question was important at all. She said casually, ¡°I remembered your number a long time ago, probably from when we got married.¡± It was about the year they got married when she kept staring at his number but never dared to dial it. After looking at it for a long period, the number was ingrained in her head. She now felt ironic at the thought. Gilbert looked away, a smile shing across his face. ¡°There is a children¡¯s clothing store up ahead. Let¡¯s go in. These few clothes aren¡¯t enough for three children,¡± he said light-heartedly, taking the lead by walking in the children¡¯s clothing store. Kisa frowned and stared at him from behind, wondering why he was in a good mood again. Is it just because I said I remembered his number? But did he really care about that? Back then, I cooked for him, made clothes for him, and even waited for him toe home every night, but he didn¡¯t even appreciate it. I cannot believe that he is so happy just because I remember his number.¡¯ While she was thinking, Gilbert had already reached the entrance of the children¡¯s clothing store and was waving at her. ¡°Come on over.¡± This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Kisa cut the thought from her mind and walked over. This floor was mostly upied by well-known children¡¯s clothing brands, and each shop was massive. Gilbert first brought her to the girls¡¯ section. The girls¡¯ clothes were nice, with bright colors and a variety of styles. Kisa liked every one of them. Gilbert¡¯s reaction was even more nuts; he asked the shop assistant to wrap up every piece of clothes that she had picked up or taken a look. Before they had even started selecting them, a dozen sets of clothes had been packed for them. Kisa felt amused and said, ¡°If you buy too many clothes. Ada won¡¯t be able to wear all of them. Kids grow up fast, and these clothes will be obsolete before she can wear them all. What a waste.¡± ¡°As long as you like it.¡± Kisa was speechless. ¡°Ada is wearing them, not me.¡± ¡°1 ¡°I will tell her you picked all these clothes for her, and she will like every single one of them.¡± Kisa stopped talking. She thought that although he was a CEO, he should not be so wasteful. Not daring to continue shopping for girls¡¯ clothes, she went to the boys¡¯ section, where clothes had less variety of styles and were less colorful. Gilbert looked around. He picked up a piece of dark yellow leather jacket and said, ¡°Andrew will look good in this.¡± Kisa only nced at it and had no words for it, only thinking that Gilbert had a terrible fashion taste. The leather jacket was old-fashioned, not to mention that the color was that kind of old dull yellow. Andrew had fair skin and he would look countrified in it. She hurriedly shook her head and picked up an ink blue sweater. ¡°Andrew will look good in this.¡± Listen to the rest of the chapter in audio Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 416 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 416 Chapter 416 Unique Aesthetics ¡°Hey, hey, look over there, that leather jacket that the man is holding.

I told him it didn¡¯t look good, but he insisted on buying and argued with me, and guess what?¡± ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Later, my son came back from school and saw the little leather jacket. The first thing he said was, ¡®Who is this jacket for? It is so ugly. I pity the kid for having to wear such an ugly jacket.¡¯ His father was petrified in ce, but did not dare to say that the jacket was for my son. I just burst outughing. ¡°Haha¡­ Your husband¡¯s fashion taste is like no other.¡± ¡°Shh! Shh! Look, that man has also picked that little leather jacket. Tsk, such a good-looking man, yet he has such a lousy fashion taste.¡± The two women whispered to each other as they walked to other areas. Kisa could not hold back herughter. She looked at the shop assistant. ¡°Tell me again, does this leather jacket he has picked look good?¡± The shop assistant smiled with embarrassment. ¡°Well¡­ Some people think it looks good, some people think it doesn¡¯t. We can¡¯t draw an absolute conclusion. Hey, Mr. Kooper, I will leave you and your girlfriend to it for now. Call me if you need something.¡± The shop assistant went away in a huff. Gilbert looked at Kisa and could feel that she was in a good mood, although she wrapped herself up like a mummy. Kisa snickered as she looked at him. ¡°Do you still want to buy that little leather jacket?¡± ¡°Yes. I¡¯m sure Andrew will like it.¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Kisa tried not tough. ¡°Well then, let Andrew get to know your unique aesthetic.¡± With that, she went to pick out a few more outfits for ke. Gilbert watched on with tenderness as she carefully picked out clothes for the children. ¡®If not for all the things that have happened, we would have been a happy family of four today. I have always longed for this kind of happiness, and could even put aside all my hatred and obsessions for it. However, she is the one who refuses to let go of past grudges.¡¯ He raised his hand, wanting to touch her back, but as his fingertips came into contact with her clothes, he lowered his hand. Kisa looked back at him subconsciously. ¡°What?¡± Gilbert smiled. ¡°Nothing. I just wanted to remind you to pick out a few more pieces.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kisa felt that there was something strange about him today, not at all aggressive as usual, but with an air of sadness. But she thought it must be her illusion, because such a cold and heartless person like him would never be worried about anything. After picking out the clothes, Kisa went to another shop to pick out some toiletries for ke. After she had done the children¡¯s shopping and was ready to go home, Gilbert brought her to the cell phone store.

His face was a symbol of privilege; from the moment he entered the store, the shop assistants were scrambling to serve him, and everyone was eager to speak to him. Kisa was squeezed aside. I hate shopping with this man. He doesn¡¯t even bother to wear a mask or a hat, as if he is afraid that people wouldn¡¯t recognize him as GK¡¯s CEO.¡® She did not bother to try the phones, so she spoke to him across several people, ¡°I don¡¯t want to try them. I¡¯ll just take this.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you try the others? We have othertest models of the other brands. Take a look, and if you like them, take them back with you.¡± Kisa quickly shook her head. ¡°This one will do.¡± She gestured to Gilbert with her eyes, telling him to pay. Gilbert enjoyed the feeling of spending money on a woman. But the premise was that the woman had to be her. After buying the phone, Kisa wanted to go home. She said to Gilbert, ¡°I can see you are.very sober now and don¡¯t need me to drive, right? If you still want to continue shopping, then you may continue. I will take a taxi.¡± Gilbert was upset and hurriedly tugged at her. ¡®Why doesn¡¯t she like shopping with me? It is not like we can have such a pleasant atmosphere like this every day.¡® He checked his watch. ¡°The kids will finish. school soon. We can mooch around for another hour or so, just in time to pick them upter.¡± He could see her frown, even with sunsses on her face. Gilbert spread out his hands. ¡°Okay, okay. If you want to go home, then go. But if the children ask about youter, I will tell them you did not want to pick them up.¡± Kisa was teed off. ¡°What if they get upset when you say that?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t care about them, so why do you care if they are upset?¡± He sounded so caustic that it antagonized Kisa. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I have never seen a father like you.¡± ¡°And I have never seen a mother like you, either.¡± Material ? N?velDrama.Org. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him in shock. ¡°W¨CWhat did you say?¡± Gilbert realized what a gaffe he had made. Looking at the woman¡¯s shocked expression, he almost wanted to tell her the identity of the two children. But the thought of her using the children to threaten him caused him to hesitate. He was afraid that she would use the children to retaliate against him, and that the children would be harmed. Therefore, he decided to keep the children¡¯s identity to himself. He cut the thought from his mind and said to her in a faint voice, ¡°I mean, you are always so mean to the children and won¡¯t be a qualified mother in the future.¡± Listen to the rest of the chapter in audio Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 418 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 418 Chapter 418 My Girlfriend Has a Good Fashion Sense ¡°Okay, don¡¯t be mad. Let¡¯s not fight, okay?¡± Gilbert rarely softened his tone to coax others, but something was different about him today. He just liked to go shopping with her like a normal couple, and he could lower himself and apologize to her as long as it did not ruin the mood. Kisa said in a muffled voice, ¡°Am I the one who wants to argue with you? You always sound harsh.¡± Gilbert bowed his head, not retorting. Kisa saw this and thought she might as well vent her long¨Csuppressed anger. ¡°You¡¯ve always been difficult to reason with, erratic, callous, pushy, and spiteful. You are no way close to Jensen.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face had already started to darken when he heard the first part of the sentence, but when he heard the second part, his lost his coolpletely. He could tolerate it when she demeaned him, but not when shepared him to another man. He gritted his teeth and red at her. But he had to soften his attitude if he wanted to continue to hang out with her. Taking two deep breaths, Gilbert smiled at her and said, ¡°Have you had enough? You aren¡¯t angry now, are you?¡± Kisa did not make a sound, but just looked at him in amazement because it was rare to see him not getting offended. Had she scolded him like that on normal days, he might have grabbed her by the neck and shouted at her. While she wondered what made this man suddenly have a change of heart, he suddenly grabbed her hand and took her back into the mall. ¡°Go with me to shop for some more clothes if you are no longer angry.¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t we bought enough for the children? They now have more than they can wear.¡± Gilbert looked back at her. ¡°It is for me.¡± Kisa frowned with contempt. ¡°You shop on your own.¡± She tried to pull her hand back, but he tugged at her, literally dragging her into the mall. When they came to the men¡¯s section, Gilbert smiled at her and said, ¡°You have a good sense of fashion; help me pick out some clothes.¡± Kisa scoffed. ¡°Aren¡¯t all your clothes made to order? Drop the act already.¡± Gilbertughed. ¡°Can¡¯t I buy clothes from the mall although I usually wear custom¨Cmade clothes? Besides, buying here also helps with their business. So why not?¡± The shop assistant quickly fell all over Gilbert. ¡°Mr. Kooper, you are really nice. There are really few CEOs like you who are handsome and kind¨Chearted at the same time. Mr. Kooper, I really admire you so much.¡± Kisa rolled her eyes. ¡®If Gilbert was kind¨Chearted, there would be no more evil¨Chearted people in this world. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°Mr. Kooper, what kind of clothes are you looking for? I can rmend some to you.¡± ¡°No need. Just let my girlfriend pick.¡± ¡°Your girlfriend?¡± When the shop assistant heard this, she looked up and down at Kisa with envy. ¡®Fortunately, I have wrapped myself up like a mummy today. Otherwise, I couldn¡¯t have withstood such gawking. I just didn¡¯t expect Gilbert to be so shameless in calling me his ¡°girlfriend.¡± Forget it. I will not harp on the issue with him since no one else knows who I am anyway.¡® In order to finish the shopping early, Kisa kept her mouth shut and went straight to pick out clothes for him. She did not care what style he preferred, but just took a few sets of clothes and tossed them at him. The shop assistant said cautiously, ¡°Mr. Kooper, your girlfriend has just randomly picked out some outfits. Why don¡¯t I choose for you?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 419 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 419 Chapter 419 I Want You to Choose ¡°No, my girlfriend has a good fashion sense,¡± Gilbert said, and took the sets of clothes to the fitting room. Kisa sat bored on the couch and waited for him, getting more and more restless. ¡®It is a matter of course to pick out clothes for the children, but what is he doing here all of a sudden?¡® When she picked up a magazine and had just flipped through a couple of pages, the shop assistant suddenly said to her with a jealous look on her face, ¡°Miss, you are lucky to have such a VIP like Mr. Kooper as your boyfriend, but there must be a limit to petnce. Mr. Kooper is so nice, you must not take it for granted.¡± Kisa smiled and said nothing. ¡®I¡¯m not only Gilbert¡¯s ¡°girlfriend,¡± I¡¯m also his rightful wife. But is this really a good thing?¡¯ At this moment, the door of the fitting room opened, and Gilbert came out of it wearing a smoky gray shirt and ck suit pants. When Kisa picked out the clothes, she just did it randomly and casually checked the size. But Gilbert was in shape and looked so ssy in those ordinary clothes. The shop assistant next to him looked stunned. Gilbert smiled at the shop assistant. ¡°What do you think? I said my girlfriend has a good fashion sense, right?¡± The shop assistant was surprised and smiled. ¡°You are in good shape, Mr. Kooper. If you could be our model, our business would be booming like no other. But I know that¡¯s definitely not possible.¡± ¡°I will not try on the others. Just wrap up everything that my girlfriend chose.¡± ¡°Okay, Mr. Kooper.¡± After the shop assistant left with the clothes, Gilbert walked up to Kisa and said with a smile, ¡°Go pick out a tie for me.¡± Kisa sneered at him. ¡°There are so many ties around. You can just choose one.¡± Gilbert shook his head and said with determination, ¡°I want you to do so for me.¡± Kisa took a breath with exasperation and nodded. ¡°Okay, just a moment, please.¡± Coming to the tie disy cab, Kisa picked out a dark red tie, which did not go well with most colors, so it was very difficult to match clothes. A wrongbination would ruin the entire look. A mischievous smile shed in Kisa¡¯s eyes as she walked up to him with the tie. ¡°This one. This one looks good.¡± Gilbert looked at her, and through her sunsses, he could almost see the evil grin in her eyes. ncing at the tie with a tricky color in her hand, he just snickered. ¡°Okay, this is the one. Put it on for me.¡± Kisa did not hesitate. She stood on tiptoe to tie his tie. As she came closer, her familiar fragrance instantly drifted into his nostrils. His heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to take her into his arms. But she backed away from him all of a sudden and said to him in a muffled voice, ¡°Done.¡± Gilbert felt a fleeting sense of disappointment. He could not help but feel upset by how quick Kisa¡¯s action in tying the tie. Kisa deliberately picked that color of tie to tease him, but she did not expect that he looked so good in a smoky gray shirt with that tie. Gilbert nced down at the tie knot and smiled at her. ¡°Does it look good?¡± Kisa huffed and said nothing. He went in front of a mirror, took a look at himself, and nodded. ¡°You have a good fashion sense. This tie is excellent.¡± Material ? N?velDrama.Org. Kisa secretly gritted her teeth. ¡®It must be the color of the shirt matching the color of the tie. Had he been wearing a shirt of a different color, it would have turned out ugly.¡® She felt better with this in mind. After buying a bunch of clothes, Gilbert paid someone to bring the things to his car. Once in the car, Kisa looked at the time. ¡°It is time to go pick up the children, right?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 420 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 420 Chapter 420 Let¡¯s Pretend Today is Just a Dream Gilbert nodded and started the car straight away. Kisa held the newly bought phone and felt strange and unbelievable, wondering why she and Gilbert could spend the afternoon shopping together with no problems considering the longstanding feud between them. What she felt even more incredible was that she even picked out clothes for Gilbert and he bought her a cell phone. She shook her head and thought, ¡®Forget it. It is just for today. I will forget all the hatred today, but tomorrow we will still be enemies.¡® Gilbert saw her remain silent in the car for a long while and could not help but ask, ¡°Something bothers you? Or are you tired?¡± Kisa shook her head, staring at the new phone in her hand, and said, ¡°I will pay you back for the clothes I picked out for the three children and the money for the phone when I get back.¡± Gilbert frowned instantly. ¡®Why does she have to be so antagonistic?¡® He gripped the steering wheel tightly and said nothing. Kisa ignored him again, just bending her head and fiddling with her new phone. Just then, she suddenly saw a familiar¨Clooking phone sitting on the central console next to her. She took the phone and looked at it, then at her own phone. They were the same brand, the same model, and the same color. She looked up involuntarily at Gilbert. ¡°Howe your phone looks exactly like my new phone?¡± ¡°Huh? Is that so?¡± Gilbert looked surprised. ¡°I didn¡¯t realize it. But you picked that phone out yourself, so I guess we have the same taste.¡± Kisa had no words. ¡®Screw thattest model. He has used this phone for who¨Cknows¨Chow¨Clong.¡® She thought it was normal to use the same phone as everyone else, but using the same thing as this man just made her sick to her stomach. Especially since he was the one who bought it. She leaned against the car window and looked at the man¡¯s perfect side face broodingly without saying a word. But Gilbert was enjoying her stare. He drove the car and maintained a very sensible speed, all the while keeping a straight face. When they arrived at school, it was five minutes before the end of the school day. Gilbert did not get out of the car, but just leaned back and waited quietly. After a while, he said to Kisa, ¡°Let¡¯s go in together and pick them upter. I think they will be very happy.¡± The man¡¯s face was filled with fatherly tenderness as he thought of the two children¡¯s happy faces. It confused her every time she saw this. ¡®To say that he doesn¡¯t deserve to be a father, but he really loves his two children. To say that he is a good father, but he could bring himself to kill his own child. So in the end, it is just a matter of like and dislike.¡± As her mind was drifting away, Gilbert suddenly asked, ¡°What would you like for dinner? We will take the children out.¡± His voice was gentle and natural, with none of his usual poignancy. Kisa lowered her eyes and said faintly, ¡°Whatever you want.¡± Material ? N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert took out his phone and browsed through it, then smiled. ¡°There is a nice restaurant. I will take you guys to try itter.¡± She felt him odd today, but she dismissed it as a dream in which they had forgotten their differences and were a normal pair rather than giving it any further thought. With this mind, she felt more at ease. After all the other children had left, Kisa got out of the car and followed Gilbert into the school. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 421 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 421 Chapter 421 I''m Her Mommy Not long after walking into the schoolpound, she heard a familiar child''s cry. It sounded aggravated and exasperated. "Who says | don¡¯t have a mommy? My mommy is the best." "That is funny. Where is your mommy? You say your mommy is the best, then howe she has nevere to pick you up?" "My daddy said that you and your brother are children without a mommy." "My daddy also said that you are all illegitimate children. You might not even be the children of the Kooper family.¡± "Haha, a child without a mommy is pathetic. Ada, you are so pathetic. Haha." Kisa followed the voice and saw a few mischievous little boys mock Ada, who gritted her teeth and clenched her fists in exasperation. She red at the boys, her eyes red, but still holding back her tears. Kisa felt a pang of pain inside her upon seeing this. She subconsciously looked over at Gilbert, who was standing still with his hands digging into his pockets. So she grunted in anger, "Why don''t you intervene when your daughter is being bullied?" Gilbert lowered his eyes. ¡°Other children always mock her for not having a mommy. Even if | intervene this time, they will still mock her next time, unless..." he looked at Kisa, "her mother appears.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and looked at Ada again. The girl was angry and aggrieved, and those tears were swelling in her eyes. Suddenly, Ada pushed the little boy who mocked her the most, and the boy fell to the ground. Defiant, he immediately got up and pushed Ada back. Kisa saw this and panicked. But before she could rush over, Ada had already been shoved to the ground. Ada pouted sadly. Her voice was choked with sobs as she said, "| have a mommy. | really have a mommy." "Haha, where is your mommy, then? | have never seen her. Call your mommy out if you have a mommy.¡± Kisa could no longer bear to see this and yelled at the boys, "I''m her mommy! How dare you bully my daughter?" Ada, who had been holding back her cry, burst into tears as soon as Kisa appeared. The little girl got up from the ground, plunged into Kisa¡¯s arms, hugging her and crying her heart out. "I told you | have a mommy. | have a mommy." Kisa patted her on the back, heart-breaking. She then snapped at those boys, "How dare you bully my daughter? If you all learn this bullying behavior at such a young age, | can''t fathom what kind of person you all will grow up into," Kisa said sternly. "Apologize to my daughter.¡± The boys refused. At this point, a parent came over and said in an arrogant and domineering tone of voice, ¡°Who are you? Why do you want my son to apologize?" Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. With the parent backing him up, the boy who pushed Ada got arrogant again. He tugged on his mother¡¯s sleeve and pointed at Ada. "Mommy, she just pushed me.¡± "Huh? She pushed you? Did you hurt yourself?" The mother asked and hurriedly checked the boy''s body. A momentter, she yelled at Ada, "Apologize to my son now. Don''t think that just because your father is the CEO of GK, you can do whatever you want. | would even say that my son''s father is also the lord of Calthon, if you ask me.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 422 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 422 Chapter 422 The Broke Woman from Nowhere As the woman''s voice was sharp and savage, Ada hid behind Kisa in fright. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Kisa looked coldly at the woman. "It was your son who bullied my daughter first. Only then did my daughter push him. Besides, she pushed my daughter, too." "Your daughter?" The boy''s mother sneered as she stared at Kisa. Kisa stood upright, unppably. She was not afraid of the woman''s gaze anyway, as she was so tightly wrapped. The woman sized Kisa up and snickered, ¡°It ismon knowledge that Mr. Kooper''s two children have no mother. And where are you from? How dare you im to be the mother of this child?¡± At this moment, several more female parents came over. The female parent, who self-proimed to be the wife of the "Lord of Calthon," pulled at those female parents and sneered at her. "Hey, hey, hey, look at this woman. She ims to be Ada''s mother. Can you believe it?" "Huh? Is that true? Haha, of course not. Everyone in town knows that Ada and Andrew don''t have a mother. I don''t believe they can just make a mother out of thin air.¡± "Absolutely. Maybe she is some broke woman from nowhere wanting to be famous. Tsk, this so-called upscale kindergarten has such lousy security. How can any random person be let in?¡± "Yeah. Look at this woman wrapped up like a mummy. She is probably sick. Yuck! She had better not be a psycho.¡± Kisa ignored their taunts and said, "Your children bullied my daughter. Tell them to apologize to my daughter.¡± "Haha... Did I hear you right? You are a crazy woman who came out of nowhere. Who gives you the right to ask my son to apologize?" "Absolutely. Who are you?" One woman reached out to pull her hat. Kisa quickly took two steps back and said in a bitter voice, ¡°I''m asking you: Will your son apologize to my daughter?" "Don''t even think about it. Even if Mr. Kooper were in front of us today, we wouldn''t let our son apologize.¡± "Is that so?" Gilbert suddenly appeared behind Kisa like a ghost as soon as the woman''s voice trailed off. It startled the women. One of the women stammered in fear, "M- Mr. Kooper, w-when did you arrive?¡± "I have always been here. Can''t you see?" Gilbert grunted and let out a yful, sarcastic smile. "I got it. You all were talking with your nose in the air. There is no wonder you all couldn''t see a small GK''SCEO like me." "Of course not, Mr. Kooper. What are you talking about? You are well known. How dare we slight you?" "Hehl" Gilbert chuckled, but the look in his eyes sent a chill up their spines. Those female parents did not dare to make a sound, and they all looked to the ¡°Lady of Calthon" as the bellwether. The "Lady of Calthon" did not disappoint them; she smiled at Gilbert and said, " Mr. Kooper must be joking. You are the CEO of GK. Even my husband, the mayor of Calthon, has much respect for you." "Heh, good that you know. Since even your husband, the mayor of Calthon, has much respect for me, why haven''t you?" The "Lady of Calthon" froze for a second when she heard this. She said that as a polite remark to remind Gilbert trying to scare him off. She did not expect that Gilbert''s reaction was not at all what she had expected. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 423 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 423 Chapter 423 You All Bullied My Wife and My Daughter Gilbert smirked and looked nonchntly at the "Lady of Calthon". At first, the "Lady of Calthon" was still arrogant, but after being stared at, she started to lose courage. But as a person of status, she could not lose face in front of the other female parents. Otherwise, she could not face the people in the parent group and elite circle next time. She smiled at Gilbert. "Mr. Kooper, what do you mean by that?¡± "Literally. Don''t you understand?" The ¡°Lady of Calthon¡± deliberately yed dumb. "I really don''t understand." Gilbert chuckled. "Really? I didn''t know that the ''Lady of Calthon'' was so illiterate that she couldn''t understand such simple words.¡± "You!" The "Lady of Calthon" was enraged. The other female parents tried hard not tough. Embarrassed, the "Lady of Calthon" quickly turned to Kisa. "Oh, Mr. Kooper. I forgot to tell you that this crazy woman from nowhere impersonated the mother of your daughter." "Really? She isn''t impersonating the mother of my daughter; she is indeed my daughter''s mother.¡± Those women were wide-eyed upon hearing what Gilbert said. Even Ada looked at him in surprise. But Gilbert just smiled. "So, you just taunted my woman, and your son bullied my daughter. I won''t tolerate this.¡± The few women who were less hard-headed said, "Sorry, Mr. Kooper. We didn''t know she was the mother of your child. We didn''t mean to offend her. Hope you won''t take it personally." "Absolutely, Mr. Kooper. Quarrel among children is normal. Hope you won''t bear a grudge against the children." "Is that so?" Gilbert sneered. "1 just heard your children say ''my daddy said¡¯. I didn''t know that you all had been talking about my personal affairs at home. You guys have probably been mocking me in front of your children all this while. Otherwise, how else would your children have the guts to bully my daughter?¡± "It is not like that, Mr. Kooper. We didn''t..." A few women panicked at once. "Mr. Kooper, please don¡¯t misunderstand. How dare we mock you at home behind your back?" "Mommy, didn''t you and Daddy mock him yesterday, saying a woman had cheated on Gilbert and that his two children were not his?" "Yeah, Mommy. You and Daddy alsoughed at Gilbert the other day. I remember... Mm..." Before the two boys could finish their sentence, their parents covered their mouths and looked at Gilbert with fearful eyes. Gilbert looked at them with a smile and an icy expression in his eyes. "My children are not mine? Heh." The man''s chuckle sent a chill up the women''s spines, and they all looked at the "Lady of Calthon" for help. The "Lady of Calthon" coughed twice and put up a front. "Mr. Kooper, don''t go too far. We respect you and let you save face. Besides, it is just a trivial matter. Why do you have to hold on to it?" Material ? N?velDrama.Org. "A trivial matter? Heh!" Gilbert sneered. "You all bullied my wife and my daughter, and you call it a trivial matter?" Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 424 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 424 Chapter 424 Back Up "Mr. Kooper, there''s no need for you to blow things out of proportion. How could you call it bullying? It''s merely banter among children.¡± "Since you don''t think it''s a serious matter, you should apologize to my wife. You should also get your son to apologize to my daughter.¡± The "Lady of Calthon¡± was defiant. She red at Gilbert, "My husband is Calthon''s..." "Mhm, the mayor of Calthon was elected by the Chamber of Commerce,¡± Gilbert said while patting Ada''s head. He continued coolly, ¡°It''s been three years now, hasn''t it? It seems like we''ll be needing a new mayor for Calthon.¡± The "Lady of Calthon¡¯s¡± expression instantly paled upon hearing his words. "You... Stop running your mouth. My husband..." "Back then, your husband stood in front of my doorstep and begged me many times. I pitied him, so I nominated him to the Chamber of Commerce. But now, it seems like he''s been making a fool of me behind my back. He''s been living toofortably for the past three years, hasn''t he?" The ¡°Lady of Calthon" paled even more. When the other parents saw her expression, they thought in unison that it was over for the "Lady of Calthon." All of them rushed to apologize to Kisa. "I''m so sorry, Mrs. Kooper. We were ignorant and had offended you. Please forgive us." "I''m sorry, Mrs. Kooper. We shouldn''t have made fun of you that way. It was ignorant of us to not recognize you. We won''t co it again in the future,¡± another one of the parents said while hurriedly nudging her son. "Hurry up and apologize to Ada. If you ever bully Ada again, I''ll surely teach you a lesson.¡± "Why do I have to? Ada doesn''t have a mom; that¡¯s what you and dad said... Mmph!" The mother quickly covered her son''s mouth. Then, she turned to Gilbert with a panicked and awkward expression. Gilbert chuckled, "You''ve been running your mouth in front of your children, huh?" The mother turned ghostly pale and did not dare to meet Gilbert''s gaze. She merely smacked her son''s shoulder, "Be good. Hurry up and apologize to Ada." In the end, the few boys apologized to Ada under the intimidation of their parents. Ada was a kind-hearted child. She happily waved at the few boys and said, ¡°Alright, I''m not mad at you all anymore. But in the future, you all shouldn''t say that I don''t have a mom." "They surely won''t, Miss Kooper. Look, your mom¡¯s right here. We surely won''t dare to say such a thing in the future,¡± one of the parents said while carefully observing Gilbert''s gaze. Gilbert snorted before shifting his icy gaze toward the "Lady of Calthon.¡± The "Lady of Calthon¡± did not waver. She snorted coldly, "I refuse to believe that my husband, the mayor of Calthon, would be afraid of a CEO from a littlepany.¡± Then, she dragged her son away angrily. Gilbert gazed icily at her retreating figure before narrowing his eyes dangerously. Meanwhile, the other few parents trembled in fear as they watched. They all made a silent prayer for the "Lady of Calthon.¡± This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. The parents did not dare to stay any longer as Gilbert''s aura was overbearing. After they bade their goodbyes to Gilbert, they dragged their sons and bolted out of the school as if they were escaping. After the parents left, Kisa threw Gilbert a disdainful look, "If you backed Ada up at the very beginning, things wouldn''t have gotten this messy.¡± ¡®If this man had backed Ada up at the very beginning, then I wouldn''t have to do so. That way, I wouldn''t have to undergo those women''s ridicule,¡¯ thought Kisa. Gilbert shed Kisa a meaningful smile, "If I spoke up at the very beginning, then they wouldn''t have the chance to know that Ada has a mom too. What would happen if they made fun of Ada for not having a mom?" Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 425 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 425 Chapter 425 Swear "Hehe..."

You should continue calling me Ma¡®am in the future." Ada''s smile fell instantly. She pouted and said aggrievedly, "Why don''t you want to be my mommy? Do you not like me?" "Certainly not,¡± Kisa smiled while wiping away the tears on Ada¡¯s face. She said softly, "Of course I like you. It''s just that I can¡¯t be your mom." "Why is that?" Ada frowned at her. She could not understand why Kisa refused to be her mom if she liked her. Kisa felt resigned and said, "Because I''m not the person who birthed and raised you. What''ll happen to your real mom when she returns? Wouldn''t she be sad when she finds out that you''re calling someone else mommy?" The child replied stubbornly, ¡°I don''t care. You''re my mommy.¡± Kisa facepalmed and turned to Gilbert for help, hoping that he could exin a thing or two to the child. However, the man casually turned away as if it were none of his business. She red at him viciously before turning back to Ada and softening her gaze. "Be a good girl, Ada. Let¡¯s make a pact: if your real mom doesn''t return in three years, then I''ll be your mom, okay?" Ada frowned, "Three years? That long?" Kisa feigned disappointment, "What''s the matter? Do you not want to make a pact with me?" Ada was torn, "I do, but three years is so long.

Even though the child had agreed to Kisa''s pact, she had an angry expression as if she had been ripped off. Kisa could not help but feel amused. ¡®Regardless, this pact is just to coax Ada. Three years is a long time. By then, she might''ve forgotten about this pact, or her real mother might''ve returned,¡¯ she thought.

Ada turned to Kisa angrily upon hearing his words, "Ma''am, you weren''t lying about the pact just now, right?" Kisa side-eyed Gilbert in annoyance before turning to Ada with a smile. "Of course I wasn''t. I meant every word I said. How could I possibly lie to you?" "Then swear that you''re not lying." Kisa stared at Gilbert viciously. ¡®It''s all his fault.

Gilbert crossed his arms across his chest and said casually, "Swear on Jensen if you have the guts." Kisa frowned deeply. "Why do I have to bring Jensen into my oath? You''re truly a cruel person. You''re always taking every opportunity to hurt Jensen." Gilbert huffed coldly, "I''d hurt anyone but him!" "Then why''d you ask me to swear on Jensen''s name?" "It didn''t mean anything. I just wanted to see if you genuinely meant what you said to Ada." Gilbert snorted and continued, "Don''t you care deeply about Jensen? Swearing an oath only works when it''s someone that you care about, right?" Kisa gritted her teeth. She wanted to turn around and leave. However, when she saw Ada looking at her with a sincere and hopeful gaze, she forced herself to swallow her anger. Gilbert smiled coldly, "This is how you should swear your oath: if you''re lying to Ada, then you''ll never be with Jensen for the rest of your life.¡± Kisa red furiously at him and did not respond. Gilbert peered at her furious expression and chucked, "What''s the matter? Are you scared of swearing an oath like that? Or was your oath to Ada just now a lie?" "Ma''am..." When Ada heard his words, she instantly turned to Kisa with a sad expression. Her clear round eyes brimmed with tears; it made Kisa feel bad.

He asked in a low voice. Kisa let out a long sigh and said coldly, "It doesn¡¯t matter if I was happy today. What happened today was only for today. We''ll still hate each other tomorrow." Her words were harsh. Gilbert clenched his fists and asked, ¡°Isn''t it better if we get along like today? Why are you refusing to let go of the past? Even I can let them go. Why can''t you?

"I still remember the feeling of that child being taken out of my stomach to this day. I saw the doctor put the child, whose skin had turned purple, in a white cloth. And there, hey motionless. T-then... They said that the child was not breathing. I saw it with my own eyes. They covered him with a white cloth. I saw it with my own eyes, Gilbert. How are you going to get out of this?"

It¡¯s still an honor to be qualified to be the mother of his children, unlike you.¡± ¡°Why you¡­¡± Sharon was furious but struggled to get up because of the heavy ancient costume she was in for the show. As soon as she tried to get up, she fell to the ground again in embarrassment. At the same time, a few women who came into the bathroom could not help but whisper among themselves when they saw her on the ground. Sharon was so enraged that she stared at the gossiping women and yelled, ¡°What are you staring at?! Do that again, and I¡¯ll find someone to gouge out your eyeballs!¡± ¡°Hey, that¡¯s really evil of you.¡± ¡°What kind of international superstar are you? Gross. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go.

What you desire is beyond your reach and what I despise the most. You will never beat me in your lifetime.¡± Sharon¡¯s eyes reddened with anger, and she said grimly, ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. Five years ago, I could put you in jail, and now I also can kick you out of show business and out of Gilbert¡¯s sight.¡± ¡°It was you. It was you who set me up back then.¡± ¡°Heh. So what if it was me? I do not mind telling you that the night you slept with Gilbert was also part of my n. Otherwise, how could I get rid of both you and Sara? I had a chance only when Gilbert, left with a broken heart, despised you and Sara.¡± Kisa squinted her eyes. ¡°You really covered yourself so well back then.¡± She remembered that Sharon of that year was timid and pitiable, always following behind them, not daring to speak out loud. Never did Kisa expect she had been scheming against her from the beginning. Sharon sneered. ¡°Tell Gilbert all you want and see if he will believe you. So what, even if he wants you to be the mother of his children? It is just a plot to bring you and the J & K Film Group down.¡± ¡°Heh! Why should I tell Gilbert this? I will discover the truth myself and let him see your evil face with his eyes.¡± Gilbert refused to believe her five years ago, and he would not believe her now. Instead of begging him to believe her, she thought she might as well find out the truth and let him see for himself. Sharon smiled smugly. ¡°Then go ahead and find it out. Don¡¯t forget that the Kooper family is on my side.¡± Kisa looked down. Madalyn¡¯s attitude toward her now was a sore spot in her heart. Madalyn could not have done this to her for no reason, and she had to find out why. She sneered at Sharon, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t be too proud of yourself too soon. Now that Jensen is helping me, I¡¯m sure we can find out what happened back then.¡± Sharon¡¯s expression changed slightly. Kisa sneered at her, then turned and walked out. Once out of the restroom, she thought for a while, then took out her phone and dialed Jensen¡¯s number. He quickly answered the call. Jensen¡¯s warm voice soon came through. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Are you busy?¡± ¡°No. I¡¯m not busy.¡± ¡°Can you help me find out about the prison fire five years ago?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t think Gilbert did it?¡± ¡°I just think the fire is a bit strange, so I have to ask you to investigate it for me.¡± ¡°Okay. Wait for my call.¡± After hanging up the phone, Kisa became deep in thought. ¡®I have always thought that Gilbert hired someone to set the fire in prison to kill her and her baby. Afterst night¡¯s talk with him about the incident, things did not add up. After all, Sharon had set so many traps for me to get rid of me back then, and she wouldn¡¯t want to let go of such a wonderful opportunity when I was in prison. Sharon was likely behind the prison fire incident. No matter what, the truth will prevail, eventually.¡® Kisa decided that if Gilbert did not start the fire, she would forgive him. But if it were indeed him behind the incident, then she would hate him until the day she died. Sharon was still sitting on the floor, gritting her teeth so hard that she almost crushed her teeth. After a long while, she took out her cell phone and made a call.

Why do you have to spend all day and night with her?¡± ¡°Are you jealous?¡± ¡°F*ck off!¡± Sharon¡¯s body was shaking with anger. ¡°What losers have you hired the other night? They didn¡¯t even get a chance toy their hands on Kisa. You said you would help me get rid of that b*tch, but now you don¡¯t even bother showing up. Don¡¯t tell me you have forgotten our agreement.¡± ¡°Shh, don¡¯t mention those four men.¡± Sharon was bewildered. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°What do you think will happen to the men who dare to touch Gilbert¡¯s woman?¡± ¡°W¨Cwhat do you mean?¡± ¡°I will tell you what.

As far as I remember, there don¡¯t seem to be any big shots. The only one who is considered prominent is Kohen. Kohen is obviously on that b*tch¡¯s side. What is Anthony trying to pull here?¡® She cursed in annoyance and then got up from the floor. When she returned to the set, Arie shrieked in the loudest voice that even Kisa could hear from afar. ¡°Yikes, Sharon.

Cndina also came over, holding Sharon¡¯s arm and asking anxiously, ¡°What happened to your face, Sharon?¡± ¡°Do you even need to ask? It is just a fall.¡± Kisa rested on the chair and listened to Sharon¡¯s answer with a sneer in her mind. ¡®Sharon must have thought I had just recorded what was happening. I was just bluffing, yet she really believed it.¡® Arie stared at Sharon¡¯s face for a long while and then deliberately said, ¡°Oh, Sharon. The bruises on your face don¡¯t look like they¡¯re from a fall. They look more like you were beaten up. Tell me who hit you, and I will get you justice.¡± ¡°Absolutely. Who has the guts to hit you, Sharon? You are an international superstar.¡± ¡°That is enough. When I say I fell and hurt myself, I mean I fell and hurt myself.¡± Sharon yelled at Cndina in annoyance. Cndina shut up at once, but Arie would not stop. ¡°Come on, Sharon. Who hit you? Tell me unless you have something to hide.¡± By now, the crowd had slowly gathered. Material ? N?velDrama.Org.

I said I just fell. Is there a problem here?¡± Kisa put down the newspaper and turned her head to look. Arie was staring at Sharon with her hand covering half of her face, looking indignant yet cowardly. She pursed her lips and felt a little guilty. As for the past two days, she had forgotten about her promise of talking to Gilbert on her behalf. It irritated her at the thought of Gilbert. She did not want to beg that man, but she owed Arie for these five years. She kneaded her temple and thought, ¡®I will see what transpires tonight. I would bring it up if Gilbert stays at my ce again tonight. I will talk to himter if he doesn¡¯t The shots were getting smoother and smoother now, and it had already reached the second half of the shooting. Mr. Quillen estimated if things went with no hups, the shooting would bepleted in another half a month. Kisa had time to pick up her children as she finished work at 4 p.m. As she and Lea were walking outside the set, Sharon suddenly walked past them with a proud expression on her face. She was still looking defeated and resentful at noon, but now she was disgustingly smug, with one hand on her hip and the other holding her phone in front of her. Material ?

As if Sharon had deliberately erged the text font on her phone, she got a clear view of the text message with just a casual nce. [Come to my vi after work. I have a surprise for you.] The sender was Gilbert. Kisa sneered with her eyes lowered, knowing that Gilbert had prepared a surprise for Sharon. ¡®No wonder this woman is so self¨Csatisfied.¡® ¡°You should understand now, right? The person Gilbert cares about most is always me. So what, even if he knew I was the one who hired the four men that night? He still forgives me and has even prepared a surprise for me.¡± ¡°Whatever.¡± Kisa could not care less, her face expressionless. Sharon snorted. ¡°I know you are upset. Well, you can pretend all you want.¡± Kisa snickered. ¡°Why should I pretend? I told you I didn¡¯t care about what you wanted. Gilbert is everything to you, but he is nothing to me.¡± Seeing Kisa¡¯s disdainful look, Sharon was not too happy. ¡°Keep pretending all you want. You used to tell me you used to love him very much.¡± ¡°You know that was before. Now I have Jensen. So, why should I care about a heartless man like him?¡± Sharon was disappointed when she did not see the sadness and jealousy on Kisa¡¯s face. She grunted, grabbed her phone, and walked away. Kisa disdainfullyughed as Sharon left. ¡°Look how much you have to lower yourself in order to love Gilbert. A little surprise can even make you feel so self¨Csatisfied. Gee, I feel sorry for you. I wish you the best of luck with that man.¡± With that, she even covered her mouth and tried hard not tough. Sharon could not be more upset than this as Lea tried hard to suppress herughter. Sharon¡¯s face contorted from anger. ¡°Thank you. Wait until I tell you what the surprise is, and don¡¯t be jealous then.¡± Kisa just replied with a sneer. ¡°Yeah.

It is time to pick up the children from school.¡± Seeing Kisa¡¯s carefree attitude, Lea stared at her and spread out her hands helplessly. ¡°Okay, I was apparently overthinking it.¡± Sharon arrived at Gilbert¡¯s vi with great enthusiasm. The house was usually unupied, so there was no maid. The door was ajar, and there was a car parked on the porch. The same one Gilbert usually drove. Thinking that Gilbert was waiting for her in the house at this moment, her heart was excited. She hurriedly took out the small makeup mirror from her handbag, did some touchup, and then walked into the courtyard. As she came in front of the door, she smiled, pushed the door open, and walked in. Although it was not yet dark, the curtains around the house were drawn, so it was dark. The living room table was lit with candles, next to a bouquet of bright roses, as well as a few dishes of delicious¨Clooking food. It looked like a romantic candlelight dinner. Sharon felt ttered when she saw this. She looked around joyfully and saw Gilbert sitting by the window. ¡°Gilbert.¡± She called out in a sweet voice as she walked over with brisk steps. ¡°Gilbert, you have prepared this candlelight dinner for me?¡± ¡°Mmm.¡± Gilbert nodded with a faint smile on his face. ¡°So, do you like it?¡± Sharon nodded vigorously. ¡°Yes.¡± She squatted in front of him, held his arm, and whispered, ¡°I knew you still had me in your mind. This candlelight dinner is your confession to me, isn¡¯t it?¡± Gilbert stared at the glowing woman in front of him, and a sh of disgust crept across his face, and he laughed and chuckled. ¡°I have other surprises for you besides this candlelight dinner.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Sharon¡¯s eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°You will see if you go to that room.¡± Gilbert pointed to a room across the hall. Sharon kissed the back of his hand excitedly and then ran impatiently to that room. Disgusted, Gilbert took out a tissue and wiped the lipstick mark on the back of his hand. He wiped it repeatedly, looking careless, but his action was vigorous until there was no trace of lipstick on the back of his hand. ¡°Aaaaaah!¡± Suddenly, a scream came from the room. Gilbert slowly looked up and saw Sharon lying on the door with a frightened look on her face. Before she could run back out, the men in the room dragged her back in. This text is ?

Four men grabbed at Sharon, who kept screaming as she stared in horror at the men who appeared in the doorway. ¡°Gilbert, what does this mean? Didn¡¯t you say you were going to surprise me?¡± Gilbert smiled, looking unconcerned. ¡°This is a surprise for you. What do you think? Do you like it?¡± Sharon¡¯s face turned pale instantly. She shook her head in horror. ¡°No. It can¡¯t be. You couldn¡¯t possibly do this to me, Gilbert.¡± Gilbert leaned against the door frame and looked at her with a smile. ¡°As I said, I don¡¯t care how you pick on Kisa or frame her, but you shouldn¡¯t have gotten someone to vite her dignity.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 438 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 438 Chapter 438 Stop Quibbling, You¡¯re Finished! ¡°I¨CI didn¡¯t.¡± Sharon shook her head vigorously.

Sharon broke down and screamed in terror. ¡°Gilbert, don¡¯t do this. Help me. Don¡¯t do this. I-I was wrong. I admit I hired someone to vite her dignity that night. Gilbert, I was wrong. I was wrong. Please, let me go.¡± Gilbert looked at the woman¡¯s sobbing face nonchntly. After a while, he said to the four men, ¡°All right, you can stand down now.¡± Sharon hurriedly crawled to Gilbert¡¯s feet. She could not even care less about her torn cor as she grabbed his pants and cried, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to vite that woman¡¯s dignity. It is just that she is too obnoxious. Really, Gilbert, I just couldn¡¯t control my anger. But you said before, no matter what mistakes I made, you won¡¯t mind.¡± Gilbert leaned over slightly and sneered at her. ¡°Even if that woman is too obnoxious, she was once my woman. Do you think I would allow someone else to vite the dignity of my woman?¡± ¡°I¨CI was wrong.¡± Sharon cried out in terror. ¡°I was really wrong.¡± She said, her eyes narrowed. ¡°Actually, I did that because of you. You are so protective of her, but she only has Jensen in her heart.¡± Gilbert straightened up and lit a cigarette, not bothering to look at her. Sharon hurriedly continued. ¡°I told her today that you had prepared a surprise for me, but she was not upset and wished us a lifetime of love and happiness. I asked her why she wasn¡¯t upset, and she said she had Jensen and no reason for her to get upset¨Cah!¡± Before Sharon could finish her sentence, Gilbert kicked her to the ground. His face looked grim, and even the smoke he exhaled reeked of intimidation. Sharon gritted her teeth, plucking up her courage, and said, ¡°Gilbert, I really feel bad for you. Why do you still care about a woman who has set you up repeatedly, hurt your grandma, and even love another man? I just wanted to teach her a lesson that night. I didn¡¯t really want those guys to vite her dignity. It was all for you,¡± Sharon said with tears and sincerity. But Gilbert just sneered. ¡°So what? She is my woman, after all.

But deep down inside, she was still full of jealousy and hatred. ¡°Gilbert, I-¡± ¡°Get out of my sight,¡± Gilbert said with disgust. Sharon did not dare say anything, even though she did not ept this oue. She got up from the floor, looking like a mess. After walking a few steps outside, she suddenly grabbed her torn clothes, looked back at Gilbert, and said cautiously, ¡°I¨CI can¡¯t just go out like this. Can you lend me your clothes?¡± ¡°Get out!¡± The man grunted, his voice not loud but reeking of intimidation. Clenching her hands with hatred, Sharon finally walked out of the vi.

Andrew, ke, and she obediently took their homework and went to their desks. Kisa felt a touch of constion when seeing their well behavior and understanding.

She took some garlic to him. ¡°Then you can help me peel the garlic.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± ke nodded, took the garlic, and went to the side to peel them. Kisa looked at him with gentle eyes for a long time, then turned back to the stove and started to cook the dishes. Baked pork ribs with potatoes and lemon butter salmon were not difficult to cook, as she had made them before. Besides these two dishes, she also prepared two vegetables and a tomato soup. ke gave her the peeled garlic and then stood beside her, looking like he was about to say something.

Kisa red at him. ¡°The three kids are growing up, and you want them to go hungry?¡± Gilbert pursed his lips, lowering his head, and returned each of the three tes of food to them.

Gilbert smiled, patted Ada on her little hair bun, then reached out and picked up the other dishes. He was pleasantly surprised as he put it in his mouth. There was no denying that the food that Kisa cooked was delicious and fragrant but not oily. He could not help but eat more of it with gusto. Kisa looked at him sideways for a long time, and she sneered in her mind. ¡®When we first got married, I cooked for him and waited for him toe home for dinner every day. But he never bothered to try a single bite of my cooking. Now, who is he trying to please by making this expression?¡® She did not know whether Gilbert was starving or just a deliberate act. He finished the massive te of food and all the sd and drank two bowls of tomato soup. Looking at the empty tes and bowls on the table, Kisa snorted sarcastically at Gilbert. ¡°Looks like you have put a lot of effort into preparing the surprise for that woman. Look how hungry you were.¡± ¡°It is just because you cook well, nothing else.¡± Kisa grunted. ¡°Pretentious.¡± With that, she got up, wanting to clean up, but Gilbert went to do it instead. Kisa let him be and sat still while Gilbert diligently cleaned up the table and did the dishes. He turned into a good family man at the moment. After he finished doing the dishes, he went to the bathroom to get ready the bath water for the children.

Gilbert even washed the three children¡¯s clothes while Kisa sat on the couch watching TV like a queen. After finishing everything, Gilbert sat down next to her and gasped gently. Kisa moved aside slightly, as just the thought of the surprise he had nned for Sharon today made her feel sick to her stomach. She would rather the man stay with the woman tonight.

Kisa was so offended that she said, ¡°Yes if Jensen had prepared a surprise for someone else, I would have been upset. But for you, why should I be upset? You¡¯d better divorce me and marry that woman so she doesn¡¯t keep hurting me because of you.¡± Gilbert stared at her with hatred and anger, as if he wanted to swallow her whole. Kisa was afraid of that expression. She pushed him away and sneered in her mind. ¡®He prepared a surprise for another woman and returned to get mad at me. He is sick!¡® She shot him a bitter nce, then got up and was ready to return to her room, but then she suddenly remembered Arie. She stopped in her tracks and wrung her hands. ¡®If only I had remembered this during dinner, I would have made a deal with him for a meal and not begged him. Now, he and I don¡¯t see eye to eye. How do I even speak to him?¡® She nced at Gilbert, sitting on the couch, only to see his sullen face. She bit her lower lip. ¡®Should I bring the matter up today? If not today, then when else?¡® She decided during the day that she would talk to Gilbert about it as soon as he came back tonight. Kisa stared at him morosely for a long while and thought, ¡®Did he want to see me angry and sad by mentioning his surprise for Sharon? After all, men are also vane and want to make women sad and jealous to satisfy their ridiculous sense of achievement and self¨Cimportance.¡® While thinking, she pursed her lips, then said to him, ¡°A¨CActually, I¡¯m still quite sad inside.¡± Gilbert turned to look at her. ¡°What?¡± This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Kisa pondered for a while and said, ¡°I said¡­ I¡¯m actually quite sad that you prepared a surprise for Sharon. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 443 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 443 Chapter 443 You¡¯re Jealous of Her Too? The sullen expression on Gilbert¡¯s face vanished. The speed of change was as quick as lightning. He stood up at once and held her shoulders, slightly emotional. ¡°So, you¡¯re jealous of her too?¡± ¡°Uh¨Chuh.¡± Kisa nodded her head haphazardly. She thought she could say whatever she wanted as long as he was happy. Without the dismal look, he looked at her with affection. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier that you were upset? I thought-¡± ¡°What is the point of telling you earlier? What if you use it to mock me?¡± ¡°You fool.¡± Gilbert sighed softly, and he suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms. Kisa was wide¨Ceyed as she could vaguely sense he was doting on her. ¡®It is an illusion. It must be an illusion.¡® She told herself in her mind. ¡°So¡­¡± Kisa pushed him away gently, ¡°You are not angry anymore?¡± ¡°Then you just said you cared about Jensen-¡± ¡°That was a lie. I said it on purpose to piss you off.¡± The gloom had gone entirely from Gilbert¡¯s face, and he smiled and shook his head. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m not mad anymore.¡± Kisa saw he was smiling, so she asked, ¡°Do you remember Arie?¡± Gilbert nodded. ¡°Yes. Why?¡± ¡°She couldn¡¯t get along with Sharon and wants to join the J & K Film Group, but she has signed a three- year contract with GK Pictures. If she unterally terminates her contract, she will lose her poprity and have to pay hugepensation. So¡­¡± Gilbert¡¯s face slowly sank again, and he half smiled. ¡°So you just said you were upset and jealous, but that was just for cajoling me?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Kisa was startled and yed dumb. ¡°What are you talking about? I didn¡¯t say that to cajole you. I was talking to you about Arie. Why are you bringing this up again?¡± ¡®He is damn intelligent, knowing what I¡¯m up to so quickly.¡¯ ¡°Heh.¡± Gilbert suddenlyughed, and hisughter was bitter, which frightened Kisa. She looked at him and stopped talking. He turned around and sat back down on the couch, looking even more sullen, Kisa gritted her teeth. ¡®It is really not a good time to talk to him about Arie today. After what happened to Howardst time, I¡¯m not going to ask any favor from him again.¡¯ She saw Gilbert sneer and knew he would not easily agree to her request. So she said in a faint voice, ¡°All right. Forget it if you disagree. I-¡± This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. ¡°You mean, you want GK to void the contract so that not only will she go free, but GK will also have to compensate her?¡± Kisa shook her head in a panic. ¡°No, no, no. No need for you to paypensation. The main thing is to set her free and hope you nullify that contract.¡± ¡°Heh! You are concerned about other people¡¯s affairs. First Howard, now Arie.¡± His tone of voice carried his usual ridicule, making her uneasy. Kisa frowned. ¡°Let¡¯s pretend I didn¡¯t say that at all.¡± However, as soon as she turned around, Gilbert suddenly pulled her back, stared at her cold and irritated expression, and said in a faint voice, ¡°I will grant your request. When she finishes shooting her current film, she will have nothing to do with GK anymore.¡± Kisa stared at him in surprise. ¡°A¨CAre you saying this for real?¡± She still could not believe that he had suddenly be so nice to talk to. Gilbert snorted. ¡°Tomorrow, I will ask Davian to tear up the contract in front of her. You can tell if it is true or not.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 444 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 444 Chapter 444 He¡¯s A Man, After All Feeling that Gilbert was about to get angry, Kisa decided to stay silent and not push the issue any further. She merely smiled and said to him, ¡± Thanks.¡± Material ? N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert coldly huffed and furrowed his menacing eyebrows. Kisa faked a smile as she broke loose from his grip,¡± It¡¯s gettingte. I¡¯ll be returning to my room first. You should rest early too.¡± Gilbert chuckled and spoke to her from behind,¡± Are you only going to treat me decently when you need something from me?¡± He had felt something off when Kisa started treating him so well. Turns out she had something to ask of him. She had been like this from the start. Her kindness toward him had always harbored hidden intentions behind it. This was the part of her he hated the most, yet it was the part of her that he was the most helpless against. Kisa stopped in her tracks and did not speak. Gilbert then pulled at his tie irritatingly. He leaned back onto the sofa and quietly stared at the maroon tie in his hands. His furrowed brows lightened up a bit in the end. At least she had picked out a tie for him. Although that day¡¯s happy, peaceful moments seemed like a passing facade, it had really happened. He let out a sigh of relief and closed his weary eyes. The next day, Kisa was in shock as she read the newspaper. Lea had brought it with her and gave it to Kisa. She walked toward the kitchen to see the man who was busy making breakfast. She whispered softly to Lea,¡± What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± Lea shook her head, ¡°I have no idea either. I was shocked too after reading the article.¡± Kisa lowered her gaze and looked at the newspaper at hand ¨C ¡®International superstar Sharon Case spotted looking disheveled at a vi, suspected to have been harassed.¡¯ The huge headline seemed blinding. Below, the headline was apanied by a few pictures. In the photos, Sharon was holding on to her cor, looking frustrated and angry. Her hair and clothes were a mess. From the looks of the pictures, it seemed like she had been assaulted by someone. The news articles also brazenly spected that a mysterious man might have assaulted Sharon, and that the vi was allegedly Gilbert¡¯s private vi. Kisa scrunched her eyebrows tightly while she thought to herself, ¡®That¡¯s weird. Around that time yesterday was when Gilbert went to give a surprise to Sharon. What did Gilbert do to her that made her so frustrated and angry? She even rushed out of the vi in such a messy state.¡® Lea sneaked to the side of Kisa¡¯s ears and whispered quietly,¡± Kisa, didn¡¯t Sharon tell us smugly that Mr. Kooper was about to give her a surprise yesterday? Why was she in such a state on the news today?¡± Kisa shook her head, her face still shocked. Lea stretched her neck to peer into the kitchen and asked in a hushed tone, ¡°Do you think Mr. Kooper might¡¯ve molested her?¡± Kisa instinctively rebuked,¡± Impossible!¡± Sharon could not wait to crawl onto Gilbert¡¯s bed. If Gilbert really wanted to do something to her, she would have been delighted; why would she leave the vi in that state?¡± Her appearance gave the impression of someone chased out of the vi after being bullied. Seeing Kisa looking so sure, Lea pouted her lips,¡± What makes you so sure? Don¡¯t judge a book by its cover. Don¡¯t just look at Mr. Kooper¡¯s handsome appearance; he¡¯s a man after all, he¡­¡± ¡°Gilbert would never molest Sharon,¡± Kisa emphasized again. She wasn¡¯t sure about his other matters, but she was definitely sure of this. At that moment, Gilbert walked out of the kitchen carrying a hearty breakfast. Lea quickly shut her mouth, not daring to say a word. Kisa calmly folded the newspaper and ced it in front of Gilbert¡¯s seat. The newspaper headline and pictures were facing him, clearly visible as he lowered his gaze. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 445 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 445 Chapter 445 No Such Thing As A Free Lunch The man gazed toward the newspaper as she predicted. However, the calmness on his face was unexpected to her. Even though he was not the one that reduced Sharon into that state, Sharon was still an artist from GK Pictures despite what they say. He did not even have a reaction when having such a scandal. Kisa was starting to doubt whether Gilbert cared about GK Pictures¡¯s reputation. Gilbert put the breakfast for the three kids in front of them first before asking Lea, ¡± Have you eaten?¡± His politeness was unsettling. Lea subconsciously shook her head and sat up warily. Gilbert passed her a sandwich and a ss of milk. Lea was ttered, but she gaped at him with a wide¨Ceyed expression. She hurriedly shook her head, ¡°No, no, no need, no need, no need¡­¡± Lea saying ¡°no¡± repeatedly showed that she was shocked to the core. Gilbert found it funny. And portioned Kisa¡¯s breakfast with adept movements while speaking nonchntly, ¡°Why? Does the breakfast I made seem that difficult to swallow? Letting you eat then seemed to shock you very much.¡± ¡°No, no, It¡¯s not like that¡­¡± Lea shook her hands and answered anxiously, Material ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°It¡¯s not that Mr. Kooper¡¯s breakfast tastes terrible. It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t deserve to eat the breakfast you handmade, sir.¡± Gilbert lowered his gaze and put the newspaper aside. He chuckled in good nature,¡± You are a guest. Since you haven¡¯t eaten breakfast, then dine with us together. It¡¯s only natural to do so.¡± Leaughed awkwardly as her heart filled with embarrassment. This was due to her bad¨Cmouthing Gilbert with Kisa just now. ¡°You all should eat first. The custard tarts are just about ready.¡± He spoke as he wiped his hands with graceful movements, then proceeded toward the kitchen. Lea quickly stuck to Kisa¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°Kisa, I take back what I just said. Mr. Kooper is truly a polite and courteous gentleman. I think we must¡¯ve misunderstood him before this.¡± Kisa rolled her eyes at Lea. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Lea; a breakfast made her change her views on Gilbert instantly. Gilbert walked back swiftly with a tray of custard tarts in his hands. He put them before the children and spoke gently, ¡± Be careful. They¡¯re still hot.¡± Lea looked on nkly as she felt more and more sure that Gilbert was the epitome of a good man. Until they left theplex, Lea would not stop praising Gilbert in the car. ¡°Kisa, Mr. Kooper is truly a good man. He¡¯s handsome and rich. He treats you and the kids with tenderness. Honestly, she has yet to make any principal mistakes. You shouldn¡¯t divorce him. He really is nice. If I had a husband like that, I¡¯d even smile in my sleep.¡± The more Lea spoke, the more she admired her. Kisa asked while putting on a false smile, ¡± What¡¯s a principal mistake?¡± ¡°Uhm¡­ like cheating, domestic violence, and those kinds of stuff.¡± ¡®Domestic violence? Does always choking her and screaming while threatening to kill her count as domestic violence? Or does the fire from five years ago count as domestic violence? No, the fire from five years ago is considered murder! As for cheating¡­¡® she thought. Kisa smiled coldly. He had Ada and Andrew with another woman when she was still his wife. Is that considered cheating? He still has an ambiguous rtionship with Sharon, does that count as cheating? ¡®Sigh, Lea is still looking at this superficially,¡® Kisa thought. It is valid from the surface; Gilbert seemed so dazzling and dashing. However, only by living through it physically would you know how heartless and ruthless Gilbert was. ¡°Eh? Kisa, how do you view Sharon¡¯s scandal?¡± Lea Asked. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 446 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 446 Chapter 446 Gilbert Was Taking Revenge On Her? Kisa pulled her thoughts back. She was thinking of the photo. Sharon seemed furious and flustered, which made it look very odd. Gilbert prepared a surprise for Sharon during that time, which wasn¡¯t a lie. However, the surprise was not a treat but a punishment. ¡®Could it be that Gilbert was taking revenge on Sharon for that night? As she thought about it here, she then quickly shook her head. That was impossible. The subject of the matter should be reversed. Gilbert hated her and always sided with Sharon. How could he possibly retaliate against Sharon for her? After not getting any results from thinking for a long time, she simply chose to not think about it. Either way, this issue was not rted to her at all. Lea searched for any information andments on the news during the journey. She spoke to Kisa, ¡°Kisa, that¡¯s not good. A big crowd ofizens arementing on all tforms, saying the vi is Gilbert¡¯s. They even said Sharon was wearing her clothes like that when she exited Gilbert¡¯s private vi, so she must¡¯ve done¡­ the deed. Many otherizens said that if Gilbert did not take Sharon¡¯s hand in marriage, he should be ashamed to be a man.¡± Sigh, how could this be? Once the news gets out, the whole world will know Mr. Kooper had an intimate rtionship with Sharon. If the two of them did not get married, Mr. Kooper and GK Pictures would be humiliated to death. However, Gilbert and GK Pictures being attacked badly will bring many benefits to J & K Film Group. But then, his character was not bad. I wish theizens would stop cursing him,¡® Kisa thought. Kisa drove the car emotionless. Based on theizens¡®ments, this news seemed to be produced by Sharon herself to force Gilbert into marrying her. However, seeing the furious and flustered expression in the photos, Kisa did not feel like that was the case. She held onto that uneasy feeling when reaching the production set. Upon reaching the entrance, she saw arge group of reporters blocking it. Kisa furrowed her brows and turned around to pull Lea to one side and said, ¡± Let¡¯s go in from the side door. It¡¯ll be another unavoidable pile of problems if we are seen by those reporters.¡± As she finished speaking, someone screamed at the top of their lungs, ¡°Kisa, Kisa Becker has arrived.¡± Thus, almost in a sh, the group of reporters all came and surrounded them. The first reporter asked, ¡°Ms. Becker, as the ex¨Cwife of Mr. Kooper, Mr. Kooper and Ms. Case had such a scandal. What are your thoughts about it?¡± Kisa smiled courteously,¡± Since everyone knows that I¡¯m his ex¨Cwife, then regardless of whom he wants to be with, whatever he wants to do is none of my business.¡± ¡°Ms. Becker, so what you¡¯re saying is Mr. Kooper is the person that toyed with Ms. Case?¡± One of the reporters asked. ¡°I didn¡¯t say that. Everyone, please refrain from starting rumors,¡± Kisa still had a light smile while looking at the reporter. ¡°Everyone, please make room. I have to go in and start filming.¡± At that moment, another person shouted, ¡± Sharon Case is here; Ms. Case has arrived.¡± In that timeframe, the reporters all moved toward and crowded Sharon. Sharon, as the female lead of this news article, was aware that her outing would be surrounded by This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. reporters. Hence, she sensibly brought her bodyguards. Even though the bodyguards were blocking, they still could notpletely stop the onught from the reporters ¡°Ms. Case, what did you experience in that vi? Why did youe out of it in that state?¡± Sharon sobbed, half frail and half timid while speaking. Mr Kooper said he wanted to surprise me and told me to go to his private vi And then and then Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 447 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 447 Chapter 447 That Woman Doesn¡¯t Care About Me! Sharon¡¯s hesitant look validated all the reporter¡¯s spections. ¡°Ms. Case, are you saying that the vi belongs to Mr. Kooper?¡± Another reporter asked. Sharon hung her head with her face full of embarrassment and did not say a thing. Her expression only stoked the reporter¡¯s imagination further. ¡°Ms. Case, what did you and Mr. Kooper do in the vi?¡± ¡°Ms. Case, Mr. Kooper obviously did the deed with you. Does he have any ns on marrying you?¡± ¡°Ms. Case, what exactly was Mr. Kooper¡¯s surprise?¡± ¡°Sigh, all of you should stop asking me. If there is any question, then asking Mr. Kooper himself would be better,¡± Sharon replied, all bashful¨Clike. This way, even if she did not say anything, everyone would deem that she and Gilbert had done some shameful acts in that vi. Looking at her convincing facial expressions toward the reporters, she felt even surer that the news had all been orchestrated by Sharon herself. However, she still could not figure out why Sharon had looked so angry and flustered standing outside the vi in those pictures. ¡®Unless Gilbert really chased her out? But wasn¡¯t he preparing a candle¨Clit dinner with a surprise specially for her at the time?¡® She quietly lowered her gaze and told herself to stop guessing. These types of wild guesses would only ruin her state of mind. In the GK Pictures¡¯s CEO¡¯s office, Gilbert silently watched the live feed of the reporter¡¯s onught on Sharon. Davian gritted his teeth angrily,¡± Mr. Kooper, I¡¯ve told you early on that Sharon is a troublemaker. Look at this, using just a few sentences and some fake expressions, she made you look like an animal in human clothing. It¡¯s so frustrating!¡± Gilbert twirled the pen in his palm absent¨Cmindedly without saying a word. Davian was anxious and asked him,¡± Mr. Kooper, what do we do now? At this rate, you can¡¯t refuse to marry her anymore.¡± This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. ¡± The live camera suddenly switched to Kisa¡¯s face. In the footage, her expression looked calm, with a hint of a smile. It looked as if she had no association at all with the people the reporters had asked her about Sure enough, Kisa had never cared for him at all. Even though he was having a scandal with Sharon spreading, she did not seem to care. At that moment, even though he didn¡¯t want to admit it, he had to acknowledge the truth in front of him. ¡®That woman doesn¡¯t care about me!¡® Crack! The pen in his hand was broken in half. Davian was startled and hurriedly looked at him. However, he only saw formerly tranquil Mr. Kooper with an expression sullen face darker than the shadows. He warily spoke to Gilbert, ¡± Mr. Kooper, don¡¯t get mad. I have passed this matter to the PR department to handle. I believe¡­ I believe that it won¡¯t escte into a major problem.¡± When he finished, Davian felt a little guilty. ¡®The problem this time was truly major. It was entirely associated with the image and reputation of Mr. Kooper. Unless Mr. Kooper were to marry Sharon just like when he married the madam then. However, if Mr. Kooper wanted to marry Sharon, he would¡¯ve done it earlier. Why wait until this moment?¡® Davian thought. Gilbert threw the broken pen into the rubbish bin and spoke casually, ¡°Let the PR department stop their work.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Davian paused,¡± You really n to marry Sharon to solve this issue?¡± Gilbert smiled coldly, ¡°You think that¡¯s possible?¡± Davian shook his head immediately,¡± Then, Mr. Kooper, you¡­¡± ¡°I have my own n to solve this,¡± Gilbert finished speaking, and his gazended on the footage, then onto the calm¨Clooking woman¡¯s figure. He felt waves of difort and frustration in his heart. He opted to switch off the television and lie back on the sofa to rest his mind. Davian stole a nce at him, not daring to speak, then quietly retreated away. The reporters bombarded Kisa and Sharon with a ton of questions. However, they both kept silent until the end. After seeing that they could not get anything from asking the two women, the reporters slowly dispersed. As the two of them walked into the production set together. Sharon gave Kisa a triumphant smile, ¡°Hey, Gilbert is going to marry me soon. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll invite you to the wedding. You¡¯re his ex¨Cwife after all, it¡¯d be boring if you didn¡¯t attend.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 448 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 448 Chapter 448 There Are No What-ifs Kisa pulled her lips into a smile,¡± That¡¯s great. If you¡¯re inviting me, I¡¯ll definitely go!¡± Hearing Kisa say this, Sharon grew even more smug. ¡°Heh, did you know that the surprise Gilbert gave mest night was super romantic? It was a candle¨Clit dinner full of sweet talk.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Kisa chuckled sarcastically,¡± Howe the situation I saw was you being driven out?¡± Sharon¡¯s expression changed, ¡°What are you thering about? Gilbert treats me so gently. Why in the world would I be driven out?¡± ¡°Oh really? Then did Gilbert lie to me?¡± Kisa questioned in turn purposely. Sharon¡¯s expression turned white for just an instant before she quickly said, ¡± That¡¯s right, he lied to you. He did lie to you. He might¡¯ve wanted to deceive you and nned to make you fall for his affectionate scheme.¡± ¡°If it was truly like you said, he wouldn¡¯t want to marry you now. What a shame, you risked your honor and reputation for this show, yet you might not get the result you want,¡± Kisa said. ¡°You shut your mouth!¡± Sharon roared in exasperation, then dragged her assistant to turn around and walk away. When they had moved away far enough, Lea said in disdain,¡± Sharon still wants to show off in front of you. Look at her when she ran away in panic. It¡¯s obvious that she is guilty. Judging from what I see, Gilbert definitely won¡¯t marry her.¡± The sh of guilt Sharon had showed just now was proof that Gilbert¡¯s ¡®surprise¡® for her yesterday was not a happy one. Otherwise, she would have been so smug right in her face today. Noticing this point, a sh of happiness grew in Kisa¡¯s heart out of nowhere. Sharon took this opportunity to go to the washroom. She looked around and made sure no one was around before quickly dialing Anthony on her phone,¡± Will your n really work? Will Gilbert really marry me?¡± Anthony ced his legs on the coffee table and smiled nonchntly, ¡°I¡¯m not Gilbert. How would I know if he would really marry you or not?¡± ¡°But you hired people to take pictures of me in such a ridiculous state yesterday and created this type of news. Wouldn¡¯t my reputation be ruined if Gilbert decides not to marry me? You should¡¯ve discussed this with me before doing this,¡± Sharonined. ¡°Heh, even if I¡¯d discussed it with you, you would¡¯ve agreed to my methods, no?¡± Anthony rebuked. ¡°But¡­¡± Sharon tried to respond. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Just wait. Gilbert can only marry you. Otherwise, he and his GK Pictures will be cursed terribly.¡± ¡°What if¡­ What if he doesn¡¯t want to marry me?¡± Sharon asked. ¡°There are no what¨Cifs!¡± Anthony yelled. Sharon still wanted to say something, but Anthony directly hung up the phone in annoyance. She tightly held onto the phone as she felt weak in her chest. ¡®If Gilbert really did not marry me, wouldn¡¯t my reputation and honor be destroyed for good? No, no, no¡­ For GK Pictures¡¯s reputation, he¡¯s got to marry me. Didn¡¯t he marry Kisa, that skank, for those same reasons in the first ce?¡¯ Sheforted herself with those thoughts until her anxious heart calmed down a little. In an unfortunate coincidence, Kisa and Sharon entered the production set together and ended work at the same time. Someone who didn¡¯t know better would have assumed that they were filming the same movie. Walking out of the set, Kisa saw Gilbert leaning on the hood of a car nearby. Lea lowered her head to chuckle dubiously, ¡± Kisa, Mr. Kooper must be looking for you. You can go home with him then. I¡¯ll be fine going home by myself.¡± Before Kisa could open her mouth, Sharon suddenly dashed out from beside her and rushed toward Gilbert. ¡°Gilbert, did youe to fetch me?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 449 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 449 Chapter 449 Why Should I Foot The Bill? ¡°Pfft!¡± Lea instantly made a spitting sound and spoke to Kisa,¡± Look at that woman. She¡¯s smiling like a subus. Her voice line is filled with a deathly cringe. Do men like this kind of thing? Kisa, when you talk to Mr. Kooper, you should do it like this. Mr. Kooper would definitely spoil you to no end.¡± Kisa was speechless. Where did Lea find the confidence and such certainty? Gilbert¡¯s gaze skipped over Sharon and looked at Kisa. Before he could say anything, a swarm of reporters popped out from nowhere and immediately surrounded him and Sharon. Sharon chuckled smugly. Under the pressing questions of the reporters, she would not believe that Gilbert would not marry her. Kisa did not want to join the crowd and was prepared to leave. Lea quickly held onto her, ¡°It¡¯s still early. Let us watch this first and see how Mr. Kooper will exin the news today.¡± ¡°What¡¯s so interesting about it?¡± Kisa said, uninterested. With the time in hand, it would be better to go home to sleep. ¡°Come on, please? Just treat it as keeping mepany,¡± Lea said and roughly dragged her into the crowd. The two rted parties Sharon and Gilbert were present right now, so the reporters were not paying much attention to Kisa. The reporters all rushed to interrogate Gilbert in quick session. ¡°Mr. Kooper, do you have any ns on marrying Ms. Case? ¡°The reporters got pictures of Ms. Case walking out of your private vi disheveled. Please give us an exnation.¡± ¡°You and Ms. Becker have divorced. Are you willing to make Ms. Case the next wife of the CEO of GK Pictures?¡± The reporters kept asking question after question without end. Sharon felt proud deep inside but spoke with a kind voice,¡± All of you should stop asking Mr. Kooper about this. Don¡¯t rush to assumptions based on a few pictures. Mr. Kooper didn¡¯t ask to marry me. He invited me over yesterday because he¡¯d prepared a surprise for me.¡± ¡°Ms. Case, was Mr. Kooper the only person with you when you were in the vi?¡± Gilbert gave a meaningful look toward Sharon. Sharon suddenly quieted down. Obviously, there had been more than one person. Gilbert had prepared four other men for her. When she thought about it now, she still trembled in fear. ¡°Mr. Kooper, I would like to ask, are you nning to marry Ms. Case?¡± The reporters were mainly concerned with this question. From time to time, Kisa looked into the crowd at the men with a soft smile. ¡®If he promises to marry Ms. Case now, he¡¯ll definitely be forced marry her no matter what!¡® Under repeated questioning from the reporters, Gilbert amusedly asked, ¡°When did I say I was going to marry Ms. Case? May I know where you got this news from?¡± Sharon¡¯s expression changed drastically, looking at Gilbert desperately,¡± Gilbert, you¡­ you shouldn¡¯t be like this. My, my reputation, my¡­¡± Gilbert looked at her coldly. Even though you are an artist under mypany, your reputation is already ruined. Why should I foot the bill?¡± ¡°No, I. Yesterday, at the vi, I¡± Sharon stammered. ¡°Did I do something to you yesterday?¡± Gilbert asked in return The noise and chaos surrounding the two of them caused the conversation between them to be completely inaudible Kisa could only see Sharon¡¯s panicked expression change frequently. The reporters asked Gilbert another question,¡± If you don¡¯t n to marry Ms Case; then how do you exin Ms Case walking out of your private vi in such a flustered state? Your actions would unavoidablynd you a reputation as an irresponsible yboy.¡± Gilbert spoke out of humor, Who said the vi belonged to me? Do all of you have proof that I was in the vi at the time?¡± Material ? N?velDrama.Org. With a single sentence, he left everyone shocked and speechless Sharon seemed to be shaking unsteadily, and her face was as white as paper . Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 450 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 450 Chapter 450 Mr. Kooper is Really in Love With Kisa Lea joyfully shook Kisa¡¯s arm. ¡°Did you hear that, Kisa? The news today has nothing to do with Mr. Kooper. He did nothing to that woman.¡± ¡°So what? I didn¡¯t believe he would do anything to that woman in the first ce.¡± Lea looked embarrassed, wondering why Kisa was bing increasingly self¨Cpossessed these days as if nothing could stir her emotion. ¡°Mr. Kooper, what do you mean by that? Isn¡¯t that vi under your name?¡± ¡°I transferred the vi to someone else a few days ago, and it was no longer in my name yesterday. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can check it out.¡± The reporters looked at each other in confusion. ¡°You mean you weren¡¯t even in that vi yesterday?¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s not my house, why would I stay there?¡± There was an uproar, and everyone looked over at Sharon with curious eyes. Sharon broke down and shook her head, her face pale. ¡°No, Gilbert. You can¡¯t do this. Yesterday you clearly¡­.¡± ¡°I clear what? Or did I do something to you yesterday? I dare you to tell the reporters clearly.¡± His voice was mellow and pleasant, but there was an icy undertone. Sharon was so scared that she did not dare to say a word at the thought of how ruthless Gilbert had been yesterday. The reporters had already started to condemn her. ¡°Miss Case, in that case, you were fooling around with another man in that vi, weren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°If it wasn¡¯t Mr. Kooper who did something to you, why didn¡¯t you say it clearly in the beginning?

She shook her head vigorously and spoke with difficulty, ¡°I¨CI haven¡¯t forgotten¡­.¡± Anthony grunted and let her go. Lea dropped to the floor on one knee, coughing badly.

Seeing Leaing out of the corner just as she arrived, Kisa came up to meet her. ¡°Why did youe over here without a word?

Startled, she hurriedly flipped open her cor and asked, ¡°What happened to your neck?¡± ¡°N¨CNothing. I¡¯m fine.¡± Lea hurriedly put her cor back up. ¡°My ne just got knotted up, and I pulled it off.

I will leave now.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± After seeing Lea leave, Kisa turned around and hastened toward the corner from where Lea hade out. There was no one there but only two cigarette butts on the ground.

Who was she here with, and why was she hiding it from me?¡® ¡°Kisa.¡± Gilbert suddenly called out to her as she was about to take a look inside. Kisa turned around and saw Gilbert standing two meters away from her with his hands digging into his pockets. She walked past him and nced at the entrance to the set, where the reporters had dispersed, and Sharon was sitting on the floor, visibly breaking down. She walked up to Gilbert with a faint smile. ¡°Sharon is your most important artist. If she is ruined, GK will lose a lot. Why don¡¯t you marry her so neither of you will lose anything? How nice.¡± Looking at Kisa¡¯s calm and shallow smile, Gilbert wished he could strangle her. But his excellent self- control made him resist the urge.

Not wanting to worry the two children, Gilbert spun around and rinsed the wound on his finger under the running tap. But the blood just kept flowing as if it was unstoppable.

Go out with Andrew and continue with your homework.¡± ¡°Let me see if it¡¯s really just a minor cut.¡± Ada did not believe him. Gilbert washed the blood off his finger again before showing it to Ada for a fleeting second, then hid his hand behind his back and smiled. ¡°I didn¡¯t lie to you, did I?¡± Ada pursed her lips and frowned. ¡°Be careful not to cut your finger again.¡± ¡°I will.¡± Gilbert responded with a smile and watched the two children walk out of the kitchen before he breathed a sigh of relief and took his hand back out. The blood was freely flowing again, dripping to the floor. Before he could rinse the blood off, Kisa suddenly appeared in the kitchen doorway. She nced at his bloody finger, not ignoring the fact that all five of his fingers were still intact. She then said carelessly, ¡°What? Did you cut your hand?¡± Gilbert did not answer, he just turned around and silently rinsed the blood off his hands.

Look how scared ke is. He is almost crying.¡± Gilbert used to use her of exaggerating things. Now it was her turn to return the favor. Gilbert looked grave as he clenched his hands at his side. Because of using too much force, blood oozed out of the wound and dripped onto the floor again. Kisa nced down at the blood on the ground and grunted in disgust. ¡°Can¡¯t you quickly get your finger bandaged? Blood is dripping everywhere, and I must clean up after you.¡± It sounded like she did not feel sorry for him but only disgusted and indifferent. Gilbert was terribly upset. If Jensen were the one who was hurt at the moment, Kisa would most likely cry and be distraught. Seeing her take the mop to clean up the blood on the floor, he immediately snatched the mop over with anger. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will clean up after myself. I won¡¯t bother you the slightest even after I have died,¡± he said in a huff as he mopped the blood off the floor. Seeing his injured fingers staining the mop handle red with blood, Kisa snatched the mop away from him in disgust. ¡°You have stained the mop handle with your blood. How can I use this mop next time? Fine, fine. Get out of here and don¡¯t disturb me while I cook. The children are hungry.¡± Kisa¡¯s disdainful attitude stabbed him like a knife. He looked at her, clenching his jaws with indignation.

Do you want me to bandage it up for you?¡± ¡°No need,¡± Gilbert yelled indignantly, spun around, and walked outside. She stared at the blood on the floor, snickering as she shook her head. ¡®Hadn¡¯t he always taunted me about my injuries?

Otherwise, how can he show his prestigious status?¡± The kids did not understand Kisa¡¯s sarcasm, but Gilbert did.

He wants his personal doctor to dress his wound.¡± As if Kisa¡¯s mockery was not enough, ke¡¯s words were literally adding insult to injury. Gilbert was so indignant that he stared at Kisa, not having the strength to smile. ¡°Think what you want.¡± ¡®There it is again. Gilbert is always like this. He always causes a lot of trouble but makes it seem like others owe or misunderstand him. It is just a minor cut on his finger. Even if he had cut a chunk of flesh off his finger, a couple of bandages would have fixed it. Yet he lets the children worry about him. What an attention seeker.¡® ¡°Well, you all don¡¯t have to worry about him. The wound is not deep.

Kisa was left speechless. She then said to Gilbert, What¡¯s wrong with you? Do you have to let the children starve with you?¡± Gilbert was exasperated. He took a deep breath and grabbed the bandages from Andrew, then took two and ripped them open haphazardly, finally putting them on his injured finger summarily. The bleeding stopped immediately. Kisa grinned. ¡°Isn¡¯t it over now? What was the big deal?¡± The three children looked at each other, with Ada saying, ¡°Daddy, you should have put a bandage earlier.

Ada even picked out the meat for him. The thoughtfulness and filial piety of the children touched Gilbert. Kisa sneered in her mind upon seeing this. ¡®This man is a proper scum, but I must admit that his two children are superb. As for ke¡­¡® She was heartbroken. ¡®If only ke were my child.¡¯ At night, Ada, who had always slept with Kisa, insisted on sleeping in the room with her two brothers. Even more outrageous was that Andrew and ke had made the bed on the floor. When she went to their room, the two boys sat on the floor reading books while Ada yed with a doll on the bed. Seeing that they had arranged themselves so well, Kisa did not have to worry about them and just told them to go to bed early before returning to her room. As she walked through the living room, she saw Gilbert sitting on the couch with a sullen look on his face. She hesitated for a moment before she asked, ¡°Where are you going to sleep tonight? Or are you going to leaveter?¡± Gilbert still had that icy look, as if the world owed him a debt. Kisa ignored that and said, ¡°If you¡¯re leaving, please close the door.¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth and looked at her with steely eyes. ¡°Do you want me to leave so badly?¡± ¡°Nuts, you can leave if you want. I don¡¯t care about you,¡± Kisa said and went into the room. When she closed the door behind her, a thought came to mind, and she quietly locked the door, as she was afraid that Gilbert would sneak into her room in the middle of the night. Feeling much safer with the locked door, she fell asleep after lying in bed for a while. She vaguely heard the sound of the door lock turning during the night. Since she had locked the door, she did not give it a second thought. She turned over and went back to sleep.

But he came down harder on her, their faces so close to each other that she could smell his hot breath blowing all over her face, causing her face to blush. ¡°What the hell do you want?¡± She yelled angrily, for losing sleep, as Gilbert held her tightly underneath him. Even in the darkness, she could see the dangerous glint in his eyes. She yelled in desperation, ¡°What the hell are you doing? Let go of me!¡± ¡°What did Jensen tell you on the phone that made you so happy?¡± Not only did Gilbert not let go of her, he even questioned her. Kisa was stunned for a couple of seconds before she replied nonchntly, ¡°What he said to me is none of your business.¡± Before she uncovered the truth about the prison fire, she would not tell Gilbert about the man who saved her life. ¡°Nothing to do with me?¡± Gilbert scoffed. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you forget you are still mine, Gilbert¡¯s wife.

She reached for the light switch on the headboard. The switch flicked with a click, and the wall light above the headboard came on. She looked straight up, and her eyes collided with his dark, burning eyes. She sneered at him. ¡°Our marriage was reluctant from the beginning. You have never regarded me as your wife, and I have never regarded you as my husband. I don¡¯t care about your private life. So why do you use this marriage to restrict me?

Just as she was about to say something, Gilbert suddenly kissed her on the lips. His kisses were passionate and dominant. As Kisa dodged and fought back, his muffled words, wrapped in hot breath, came into her ears. ¡°You are my wife and should fulfill the duties of a wife,¡± Gilbert said, his hands quickly burrowing through underneath her dress. Kisa was rmed and scrambled to stop his hand. She avoided his dominant kiss as she gasped, ¡°Gilbert, y¨Cyou can¡¯t¡­ You can¡¯t do this¡­¡± But he ignored her resistance and tantly caressed her body with his hand. Chapter 459 Chapter 459 Chapter 459 I Only Have Feelings for You Kisa screamed and held his wayward hand down, her eyes red with shame and anger. "Gilbert, stop it." "Didn''t you say I never thought of you as my wife? At this moment, I treat youpletely as my wife. Shouldn''t you satisfy me as a wife should in this regard?" Because of her resistance, a hint of anger appeared on Gilbert''s face. Kisa looked at him in fright. When she looked back, there were only two times when they had made love. Once was a setup when Gilbert was delirious and took her for someone else. The other time was when he forced himself on her to humiliate her. They have been married for so long yet have never really gotten genuinely intimate. It was sad and ironic when thinking of the past. But now, with so many grudges and hatred between them, it was impossible for her to love him. As she was lost in thought, Gilbert''s hand broke free from her grasp and continued to caress her. Feeling his frenzy and eagerness, Kisa simply stopped struggling and asked him sarcastically, "What feelings did you have when you did such a thing with me?" He ignored her, still buried in her neck. Kisa bore with the strange sensation in her body and murmured, "I don''t understand. Can you have feelings for someone you don''t love?" N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. Gilbert finally stopped and looked up at her with a lurid, frantic look in his eyes. He said in a hoarse voice, "In this life, I only have feelings for you." ¡®Tonly have feelings for you. What a sweet word.'' People loved sweet talk but did not even dare to explore the truth in this sentence. The kisses that fell on her body slowly became tender. Looking at him on top of her in a daze, Kisa could not help but ask, "Gilbert, do you love me?" Gilbert looked up at her again with an affectionate look in his eyes. An untimely ringtone rang just as he was about to continue. The ringing broke up the hormone-charged atmosphere in the room, killing their passion. Gilbert cursed in frustration and red at the woman beneath him with jealousy. "Is that Jensen again?" Kisa looked at him with an innocent face. "It is clearly your phone that is ringing." Although they both had the same phone and ringtone, she clearly remembered that she had turned her phone off and was now charging it. Gilbert froze, and without saying a word, he rejected the call, cutting off the ringing. His eyes were still burning with passion as he stared at the woman beneath him. "Let''s continue." Kisa was about to refuse when the phone rang again. As Gilbert grabbed the phone in a huff, Kisa glimpsed the caller ID ''Sharon'' on the phone screen before he powered down the phone. She put her robe, which Gilbert had torn open, back on andughed sarcastically. "It was Sharon. Why didn''t you answer it?" Gilbert casually tossed the phone aside, then threw her down on the bed again. Kisa, however, was no longer in a state of ecstasy. She was now sober, her mind shing vividly with all the grudges between Gilbert and her. As she pushed back against him, he pressed her hands above her head in displeasure. "What are you doing? Weren''t we having a good time just now?" ''Wasn''t it just a phone call? Why did she suddenly be a different person again? Had I known this would happen, I would have turned my phone off at the beginning.'' ¡°Sharon is looking for you." "So what?" He said with annoyance beforeing back down to kiss her. "Gilbert... Gilbert... Gilbert..." Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 460 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 460 Chapter 460 The Responsibility of a Wife A faint scream suddenly came from downstairs. Kisa said to the stiff man above her half smilingly, ¡°It seems like the soundproofing isn¡¯t good here. The window was half open. A breeze came in and sent the screams more clearly into their ears. Gilbert¡¯s face was dark, and his body was tense and depressed. Kisa held him and sat up. She puffed at him elegantly on purpose. ¡°Look. She is so obsessed with you. She evenes here to look for you. Sigh. Send her away in a hurry. Otherwise, all the neighbors will be awakened by her, and others willin about me tomorrow¡­.¡± Gilbert blocked her lips suddenly and kissed her fiercely before she could finish speaking. ¡°Ah!¡± Suddenly, Gilbert bit her maliciously. Kisa was in pain and pushed him away. She frowned and yelled, ¡°Are you crazy?¡± There was a burning pain on her lips. She touched it with her finger and felt the blood on the tip of her finger. She took two breaths and stared at the man in front of her angrily. ¡°Are you a crazy dog?¡± Gilbert pinched her waist fiercely and said with a deep tone, ¡°There¡¯s a long time ahead of us. We¡¯ll continue next time. Don¡¯t try to escape the responsibility of a wife.¡± ¡°You!¡± Gilbert let go of her with a chuckle. His eye darkened a bit while looking at the ce where she opened her cor. The shouting downstairs was horrible that the surrounding neighbors even started toin. Gilbert cursed inwardly. He gritted his teeth and turned to walk out. Kisa stared at his back angrily. She sorted out her messy clothes after his figure disappeared at the door. She touched the bite mark on her lips. She was mad at how she could be confused by his rhetoric and even asked him if he loved her. She felt ridiculous when thinking of that question now. ¡®Gilbert would hate me, be angry with me, and be disgusted with me, but he would never love me. This is the truth that I understood many years ago. Why did I forget it just now? Luckily, Sharon suddenly called when I asked him if he loved me. If not, he might humiliate me again.¡® Kisa got out of bed and walked to the window after shaking off the troublesome thoughts in her mind. The cold breeze blew in and brushed her hot face, making her feel more awake. She stood by the window as she looked downstairs slowly. Sharon knelt on the ground, raised her head, and kept shouting Gilbert¡¯s name downstairs. Gilbert soon came out of the hall downstairs. Sharon climbed onto him and hugged his legs as soon as Gilbert appeared. Kisa sneered. ¡®Sharon is afraid of the scandal. That¡¯s why she is here to beg Gilbert. Finally, the day this evil woman had to kneel and beg for help arrived. It¡¯s such a pleasant scene. I must enjoy it.¡¯ N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. Kisa hurriedly went to the cupboard and poured a ss of red wine. Then, she took some snacks and a thick cushion before approaching the window. She sat on the cushion and enjoyed the scene downstairs with some snacks in her hands. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± Sharon hugged Gilbert¡¯s leg tightly. Her cheeks were flushed, and she looked like a drunk. Gilbert raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was two o¡¯clock in the morning. He was mad as soon as he remembered this woman ruined the good mood. He wanted to kick her to death immediately, but his excellent upbringing made him resist the urge abruptly. He tore off his tie irritably and scorned the woman on the ground, ¡°What are you howling here for in the middle of the night? Chapter 461 Chapter 461 Chapter 461 My Remark "Gilbert, why? Why would you say that to the media? I''m an artist under GK.GK will have the biggest loss when my reputation is ruined.Why do you have to do that? Boohoo..." Sharon''s cries were full of grievances and usations. There was also a deep sense of jealousy and hatred. "Why?" Gilbert chuckled lightly.He slightly narrowed his eyes, full of indifference. "You have to ask that yourself.You only got into trouble if you found someone to take pictures of your disheveled self, trying to set me up.Of course, you have to ept the consequences since you made the evil n.What''s wrong with that?" "I didn''t!" Sharon shook her head hastily. "I didn''t hire anyone to take those photos.I also didn''t find the media to set you up.I don''t dare to do that.It''s true, Gilbert.Please, you have to trust me." Gilbert hummed.He leaned over and looked coldly at the tear- filled woman in front of him. "Do you dare to say you didn''t use the media andizens to force me to marry you, nor did you hire someone to take the photo or didn''t n this?" "I..." Sharon stopped talking immediately. Gilbert said with disgust, "Get out of here immediately if you still want to be in showbiz!" "No, Gilbert." Sharon held his legs tightly as she uncontrobly cried, "Back then, Kisa also plotted against you and used the power of the media andizens to force you to marry her. Why are you willing to marry her but not me?" Gilbert sneered and said to her word by word, "Do you think you areparable to her?" Sharon waspletely desperate and fell to the ground in embarrassment. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. "Gilbert, you...can¡¯t do this to me." Gilbert leaned over, raised her chin, and said in a cold tone, "As I have said previously, you''re just a stepping stone for Kisa.Do your part since you are the stone.I''ll pamper you naturally in front of others if you do your part well." "Gilbert..." "Go away! Don''t me me for being rude to you if you let me hear you crying here again." Gilbert shook her off, turned around, and walked into the apartment. Sharon stared at him, her teary eyes red as blood. "You forced my hand.If I, Sharon Casper, cannot get you, Kisa will have to dream about having you for herself! When he returned, Gilbert saw Kisa happily sitting by the window, drinking and eating snacks.He leaned against the door amusingly. "You really made yourselffortable, staying upstairs." Kisa leaned against the windowzily. "The scene downstairs was so pleasant.Of course, I would want to sit down and enjoy it." Her tone was sarcastic. Gilbert''s eyes darkened as he walked closer.He sat down opposite Kisa. Kisa generously poured him a ss of red wine immediately. "Jensen had been collecting this wine for several years.You''re in luck tonight." ¡®Jensen this, Jensen that.She addressed him so affectionately.She set his contact profile affectionately as Jensen, and my profile is always Gilbert Kooper" "Hey!" Kisa put the wine in front of him.She leaned against the window and sighed deliberately at him, "Why don''t you apany and coax her when that woman cried at you that way? It''s sote.Don''t you feel worried about letting her go back alone?" Gilbert red at her angrily.Then, he raised his head and gulped the wine. ¡®I don''t like her speaking to me in this tone.I don''t like it" Kisa clinked sses with Gilbert''s as she saw him staying silent.She simpered as she continued, "I''m so curious.This situation is simr to the time I set you up.Why are you willing to marry me instead of Sharon, who is closely rted to GK?" Chapter 462 Chapter 462 Chapter 462 Wasted Gilbert sneered.He put the wine ss on the floor and leanedzily against the window like her.He tapped on the ss window silently. After a long time, he looked at Kisa mockingly. "Do you think I''m stupid? Would I fall into the same trap twice?" Kisa understood.She said casually, "So, I''m quite lucky.Fortunately, I''m the first to set you up that way.Sharon would probably be the wife of the GK president by now if she had set you up before I did." Although her tone was casual, it contained a bit of self-deprecation, which made people who heard it inexplicably irritated. Gilbert was mad but held back his anger.He quietly emptied the wine, then stretched his hand out in front of Kisa, wanting her to refill the wine ss. Kisa shot him a disgusted look. "It''s a waste to have you drink such a good wine!" Gilbert grew even more furious. ¡®It''s merely a bottle of wine Jensen gave her, yet she treasured it preciously.She can''t bear it when I want to have more. This is outrageous!¡¯ Gilbert snorted coldly, "I''ll give you a case of wine just like this." "I don''t need it." Kisa snorted disdainfully yet picked up the wine and filled it up for him. "I don''t want you to give me anything.What you give feels different." "Can you ept what he gave with a clear conscience?" Gilbert''s face turned dark with fury.He realized he could not properly talk to her as time went on.Her every word drove him mad. Obviously, he could have taken the children back to the Kooper family residence to live a quality life, but he liked to be here. Sometimes, he even wondered why he was so adamant about staying here. Kisa filled her ss up again.She shook the empty bottle and said reluctantly, "It''s emptied that quickly." Gilbert was angry upon seeing her, cherishing the wine that much. Gilbert snatched the bottle from Kisa''s hands. In the next moment, Kisa screamed and saw him taking a photo of the wine bottle, punched numbers into the phone, and rang up someone, all in a swift motion. "Hello?" Davian''s drowsy voice could be heard when the call connected. Gilbert replied coldly, "I sent you a photo of a wine bottle.Get me a case of this wine immediately.The variety, year, and brand must exactly be the same." "Did you hear me?" "Y-Yes.But Mr.Kooper..." Davian''s pleas suddenly came from the other end of the phone, "Can I do it tomorrow? It''s three o''clock in the middle of the night.How can I get you the wine now?" "Why should I pay you high wages when you can''t even get me a case of wine?" Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Daviany in bed, depressed. ¡®What''s gotten into Mr.Kooper again? Why do I have to get the bad end of the stick whenever something gets on his nerves? Boohoo!" "I remember thepany just hired a young guy recently.He is quick and flexible with epting work.If you don''t have the energy to do the job as my assistant, I''ll..." "Yes, yes.I have the energy!" Davian was so frightened that his sleepiness immediately disappeared after hearing Gilbert was going to rece him. Kisa squinted at the man beside her. She could imagine Davian''s panic and fear while listening to his voice over the phone.She snatched Gilbert''s phone while thinking of Davian, who had previously helped her. ¡°Davian?¡± Chapter 463 Chapter 463 Chapter 463 Mr.Kooper''s Bad Taste Davian, wearing pants, suddenly heard Kisa''s voice.He was so happy that he could listen to the sound of an angel.He picked up his phone quickly. "Yes, it''s me.Ma¡®am, is that you?" "Yes." "Ma¡¯am!" Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Davian pleaded before Kisa could say anything, "Please talk to Mr.Kooper and ask him not to go crazy.It''s sote.Where can I get so much wine? Besides, this wine is rare.Boohoo..." "I know.Mr.Kooper was only joking with you, don''t take it seriously." Davian was stunned and asked in disbelief, "R-Really?" "Yes.He was drunk and joking with you.Go to sleep." Davian''s face turned white. ¡®Is that such a funny thing? Mr.Kooper''s bad taste makes people feel speechless" Davian felt uneasy when he thought of Mr.Kooper trying to rece him. ¡®Although Mr.Kooper is crazy sometimes, the sry of a special assistant to the president is high" He asked suspiciously, "Is Mr.Kooper just teasing me? Can I go back to sleep?" "Yes, sleep tight." Davian could not feel at ease at all. "Well, Ma''am.Please return the phone to Mr.Kooper.I have to confirm with him." "All right." Kisa nodded in response, then returned the phone to Gilbert. Gilbert snorted at her and took the phone. "Mr.Kooper, are you just teasing me? C-Can I get back to sleep?" Gilbert remained silent. Kisa couldn''t help tugging at his sleeve. Gilbert lowered his eyes and stared at her fair hands.He hummed to the phone after a while, "Yes." "Oh, all right.I''ll continue to sleep then." "Go ahead." "You said it.I''m really going to bed." "Yes." "Mr.Kooper, about the neer you mentioned...." Gilbert cut off the phone as he could not stand Davian''s long- windedness.At the other end, Davian sat dumbfounded on the edge of the bed. "Mr.Kooper suddenly hung up the phone.What does this mean? Can I keep my special assistant position? Oh, it''s over.I can''t sleep" Davian sprawled on the bed; his face was confused and worried.Kisa looked at the man in front of her angrily. "Why do you scare him when everything was just fine?" "How am I scaring him?" "He had been with you for many years.Would you fire him just for a case of wine?" Gilbert sneered andughed at himself, "How do you know I won''t? After all, I am the most ruthless person!"Kisa looked right into his eye. "You...won''t." Although she did not deny he was heartless, she was sure he would not fire Davian for a case of wine. Gilbert raised his head and chuckled, "It seems like I''m notpletely ruthless in your eyes." "Okay, this wine thing is over.I won''t take it even if you really did get a whole case of this wine." "Because the wine was not given by Jensen, right?" Kisa gave an irrelevant answer, "Anyway, I just don''t want what you give me." She raised her ss and clinked Gilbert''s after she spoke. "Why bring so much nonsense? Just drink." She took a big gulp after she finished talking and violently choked from drinking too fast.Gilbert frowned profusely. "I remember before, you don''t have a habit of drinking." "You know as well...Cough.It was before and now.Cough.Now I drink." Kisa had never drunk with Gilbert this way before. Although they were having a good time now, the mood felt different. Kisa felt a bit sad while thinking of it. Kisa raised her ss to drink again before she finished coughing. Gilbert frowned. He reached out and snatched her ss over. Chapter 464 Chapter 464 Chapter 464 Call Me Darling "You have just learned to drink.Why are you drinking so much?" Kisa disliked Gilbert''s caring tone of voice the most.To her, Gilbert''s caring attitude toward her always seems pretentious. "That''s none of your business?" She grunted as she reached for the ss. Gilbert moved the ss out of her reach. As she rose to grab the drink, Gilbert tilted his head and downed the remainder of the wine. Kisa was furious. "That is mine!" "So what if it is yours? Can''t I drink it?" Kisa gritted her teeth and reached out for Gilbert''s ss instead. Sensing her motive, he quickly picked up his ss of wine and gulped it down in one go. Kisa could not be more furious. "You are wasting it.Give me back my drink!" Gilbert snickered. "It''s a waste for people like you who know nothing about wine." Kisa''s cheeks flushed as the alcohol from the wine started to kick in.He stared at her sullenly, not batting an eye. "Do you like this wine?" Kisa was transfixed for a few seconds before nodding her head.Gilbert could not help but take her hand. "Tomorrow, I will buy you a case, okay?" His voice softened without him realizing it. "No." Kisa pulled her hand back. "As I have said before...I-I won''t ept anything from you." She sounded drunk, her cheeks flushing, and her eyes were almost out of focus.He picked up the bottle again and took a look. ¡®This wine has a high alcohol content.No wonder she got drunk so easily" This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. He retook Kisa''s hands. "Why don''t you want it? I''m your husband.You should ept what your husband gives but not others, understand? "His voice turned softer. "Husband? You are my husband?" She started babbling, seemingly totally drunk. Gilbert smiled like a gentleman. "Yeah, I''m your husband.So call me darling." "Darling." She was obedient and called him "Darling" when she was drunk. Her voice was soft, tinged with drunkenness, causing Gilbert to swallow involuntarily.He looked at her lustfully, the desire in his eyes as if he was going to devour her whole.He pulled her into his arms. "Call me that a few more times. I like to hear it." "Darling, darling, darling..." "Say, I love you." "I love you, darling." Gilbert could no longer hold back and came down abruptly on her with his kiss. It was passionate and gentle, but Kisa, still intoxicated, could not breathe. She hit him on the shoulders, and he reluctantly let her go. "What is wrong?" Seeing Kisa''s blushed cheeks and her dark and shiny eyes, Gilbert gritted his teeth to resist the urge in his body. "What is it?" "I-I''m going to sleep," she said, yawning with her mouth wide open, and then staggered out of his arms. As soon as she left his embrace, Gilbert felt a sense of emptiness. Seeing her wobble and almost fall over, he hurriedly got up to help her. "Who...Who are you? Go away. I want to sleep." Gilbert was upset and amused by her forgetfulness-after she had just called him ¡®Darling" she turned around and asked who he was. Kisa was really drunk.She kept pushing Gilbert away as she headed for bed. Suddenly, she tripped over her leg and fell, pulling Gilbert altogether onto the bed. Chapter 465 Chapter 465 Chapter 465 Fingers Interlocked T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. The two looked at each other, one drunk, the other deeply affectionate. Gilbert slowly moved toward her. Just as his lips were about to touch hers, she suddenly closed her eyes and let out a loud snore. Gilbert pulled away in amusement. ¡®She couldn''t have fallen asleep any timelier than this" He got up, set Kisa in afortable sleeping position, and covered her up. Through the quilt, he held her tightly in his arms. He could only hold her hand through the quilt at the moment. Otherwise, he really would not be able to resist taking advantage of the opportunity to make love to her. When he thought of Kisa calling him ¡®darling¡¯ and even saying ¡®I love you¡¯ to him, it filled his heart with joy and tenderness. Although she only said it while drunk, it still thrilled him to hear it. He even wished the time could stay still forever, so he could always have her like this. He stared at Kisa''s sleeping face as if he could not get enough of it. After a long while, he held her hand up with their fingers interlocked. Then, he picked up his phone and took a few pictures of their interlocked fingers and a few more pictures of him and her. After that, still, with one hand holding hers with fingers intertwined and the other holding the phone, he admired the images he had just taken. In the photo, the both of them look like a loving couple that only death could do them apart. Looking at it, he suddenly forced a smile with a touch of self-deprecation on his face. He knew that this was only an illusion. When she woke up, they would still hate each other to their guts, and they would never be a loving couple. He put away the phone and held Kisa tightly in his arms, burying his head in her neck. "Just this one night is better than the daily confrontation," he murmured sadly. The following day, Kisa woke up with a terrible hangover. She looked at the cushion by the window and thought for a long time but only remembered that she and Gilbert had two sses of wine, but she could not remember what happened afterward.She shook her head vigorously, then went to the bathroom to wash her face. Looking in the mirror, she tugged at her cor and looked at it, feeling a little panicky. ¡®Last night, we didn''t do something foolish, did we? If we did, our rtionship would be awkward- looking neither like enemies nor a couple" She cut it from her mind and patted her face with cold water. When she hadpletely calmed down, she then headed outside the room. ¡®Alcohol ruins things; I mustn''t simply drink with anyone next time." As she came out of the room, the three children were fully dressed and sitting at the dining table, reading books while waiting for Gilbert getting the breakfast ready. When they saw her, they greeted her, "Good morning, Ma''am!" "Good morning." Kisa smiled and walked over. Just then, Gilbert came out of the kitchen and ced breakfast in front of each of them. Kisa stole a nce at him to see if he had any unusual expression. As much as she tried to make it subtle, he still discovered her gaze. Gilbert looked at her. "What is wrong?" Kisa hurriedly shook her head, ready to tuck in. Gilbert hurriedly stopped her. "Wait a minute." "What is wrong?" She was puzzled.Without a word, he turned around and went back to the kitchen. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 466 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 466 Chapter 466 The Miso Soup He Cooked When he came out again, he had a small bowl of soup in his hand. He put the soup in front of Kisa and said with a natural expression, ¡°This is the miso soup I cooked for you. Drink it before you eat breakfast. Otherwise, your stomach will get upset, and your head will hurt.¡± Kisa looked at the muddy soup in front of her and was a little creeped out. ¡°D-Did you say this is miso soup?¡± she swallowed and frowned as she pushed the soup back to him. ¡®It is muddy, like poison. Who dares to drink it?¡¯ Gilbert saw her disgusted look and was not too happy. Despite having never cooked soup for anyone in his entire life, he purposely followed the video tutorial to make such a bowl of miso soup because he was afraid she would wake up with a hangover. But she did not like it. Gilbert brought the bowl of soup in front of her again and said, ¡°I cooked this for you myself. It is not hot. Drink it. it Kisa frowned, not able to hide the disgust on her face. ¡°I appreciate your kindness. Didn¡¯t you also drinkst night? You drink it.¡± Kisa was about to push the bowl of soup back again when Gilbert pushed against it with a finger, stopping the bowl in ce. ¡°Drink it.¡± Hemanded in a low voice.

N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Well, you see if it is poisonous,¡± Gilbert said as he picked up the bowl of soup and took a mouthful. He then pushed the remaining half of the soup to her. ¡°Take a good look. Have I been poisoned?¡± Kisa rolled her eyes speechlessly. ¡®He has lousy cooking skills, yet still forces others to drink them. No one is more thick-skinned than he is.¡± Seeing Kisa still dare not drink the soup, Gilbert softened his tone. ¡°Drink it. It is good, and it is also for the good of your stomach. Haven¡¯t you just recovered?¡± Kisa was not used to hearing him speak with such a concerned tone. She lowered her head and held the bowl of soup. ¡°Do you really want me to drink it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not forcing you to drink this soup because I cooked it, but you have just recovered from your illness recently. I¡¯m worried¡ª¡± ¡°Okay, okay, I will drink it. I will drink it now.¡± She could not stand to hear Gilbert say such words of concern. It crept her out when a man who hated her to the bone and caused her so much pain suddenly became concerned about her. She hurriedly held up the bowl of soup and poured it down her throat lest Gilbert would nag her again. The soup was muddy, as if poisonous, but the taste was excellent. Kisa drank it all in one gulp, then looked at him with surprise. ¡°This soup¡­¡± ¡°It tastes good, isn¡¯t it?¡± He snorted with a smug look on his face. The three children beside her snickered as Kisa pouted and put the empty bowl aside. ¡°Ma¡¯am must be scared of taking medicine,¡± Ada said. Gilbert chimed in. ¡°You¡¯re right. She had resented taking medicine since she was a little girl. She had to eat candy after taking medicine every time.¡± Kisa looked at Gilbert, amazed by how well he could still remember those childhood trivia. Andrew covered his mouth and snickered. ¡°That is the same as Ada. She also has to eat candy after taking medicine each time.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Kisa looked at Ada in surprise and amusement. ¡± Maybe it is because girls like candy.¡± Gilbert nced at Kisa and the children with mixed emotions inside him. He told himself that unless Kisa returned to him sincerely, he would never tell her the identity of these two children. Gilbert never knew if Kisa would use the children against him. For the children, he did not dare to take the slightest risk. After breakfast, Gilbert drove the children to school while Kisa volunteered to take care of the dishes. After cleaning up, she was about to leave the house when the doorbell rang Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 467 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 467 Chapter 467 He Built You a Grave Kisa subconsciously went to open the door and was stunned to see Davian standing outside with a case of wine in his arms. ¡°What are you doing?¡± she asked. Davian came in past her and put the wine on the table. ¡°Have you forgotten that Mr. Kooper has asked me to send a case of wine over? Here you go. Where is Mr. Kooper?¡± Kisa could not believe that Gilbert really asked Davian to bring a case of red wine over. She felt more and more that Gilbert was a bit childish. Davian took the wine out, set it up for her, and asked, ¡°Where is Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°Well, you take the wine back. Didn¡¯t I tell you Mr. Kooper was joking with you?¡± ¡°Please, Mrs. Kooper. This wine is so rare that I had to go to many ces before I managed to buy a case. I don¡¯t want to lose my job to someone else.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and thought for a moment. ¡°All right, but you have to answer a few questions.¡± Davian was puzzled. ¡°Sure, Mrs. Kooper.¡± ¡°What was Gilbert doing five years ago when the prison fire started?¡± ¡°Five years ago?¡± Davian thought for a moment and said, ¡°Mr. Kooper was at Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s side.

No way he would bring me out of prison.¡¯ ¡°He felt happy after he learned about my death, didn¡¯t he?¡± Davian shook his head. ¡± He didn¡¯t seem very happy, but he built you a grave and even kept watch over your tombstone for days and nights without eating or drinking.¡± ¡®A few days and nights at her tombstone? That sounds inconceivable to me.¡¯ ¡°Madam, what else do you want to ask?¡± Kisa subconsciously shook her head. ¡°Then I will leave now. Could you please put in a few good words for me in front of Mr. Kooper if it is convenient for you?¡± Kisa nodded. As Davian was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and hastily called out to him. ¡°Do you know who Andrew and Ada¡¯s mother is?¡± Davian¡¯s expression froze. After a while, he shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°You have worked for Mr. Kooper for so long, and he entrusts you with handling most of his affairs. I can¡¯t believe that you don¡¯t know about such an important thing as who the mother of his children is.¡± Kisa was skeptical. Others might not know it, but it was unusual that even Davian did not. Besides, she was curious about why Gilbert hid the mother of his two children. ¡°Well, Mrs. Kooper. Don¡¯t overthink.

Wasn¡¯t that the day Andrew and Ada were born? So they were taken back to the Kooper family as soon as they were born?¡¯ She was confused, but all her thoughts pointed to a bold presumption. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 468 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 468 Chapter 468 Release ¡°Well, Mrs. Kooper, I really have to go.¡± Davian fled as if he was afraid of identally saying something he should not say. Kisa furrowed her brow. ¡®Davian hasn¡¯t told the whole truth about the identity of Andrew¡¯s and Ada¡¯s mother. He knows who the mother is. But just why did he refuse to tell me?¡¯ She wrung her hands as the bold spection kept lingering on her mind. She did not dare to think about it, fearing that it was just an unrealistic hope of hers. ¡®When the shooting of the drama is over, I¡¯m going to verify it if there is a chance. No matter the oue, I could at least stop thinking about it.¡¯ ¡°Mr. Kooper, Mrs. Kooper suddenly asked me who Andrew and Ada¡¯s mother was.¡± ¡°How did you answer?¡± Gilbert flickered the ashes off the cigarette in his hand. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Of course, I told her I didn¡¯t know. I wouldn¡¯t dare to say anything without your permission.¡± Davian then pursed his lips in hesitation. ¡°To be honest, Mrs. Kooper treats Andrew and Ada very well, and they also like her very much. Why don¡¯t you just tell Mrs. Kooper that she is their mother?¡± ¡°She used the children before. If I tell her the truth, there is no guarantee that she won¡¯t use them against me.¡± Davian wanted to tell him that Kisa would not do that, but then he was unsure. After all, Kisa and Gilbert were not on the same side now, and she was now with Jensen. So he sighed and said nothing more. Gilbert leaned back in his chair, his brow knitted together mncholily. Sharon¡¯s scandal has been festering. Many spections were flying around on major entertainment tforms. Some people even said that Sharon had be a mistress and so did not deserve to be a superstar; others noted that Sharon had a mystery boyfriend who dumped her and set up a scheme to let Gilbert take over her after getting bored with her. The scandalsted for a month until the end of the Goddess of My Adoration shooting. During the month, Sharon was the target of public criticism. The media was scrambling to report her scandal, including her checkered past, whether or not they were true. As a result, Sharon¡¯s image and reputation werepletely ruined. Manyizens suggested GKput Sharon on the bench. However, GK did not take any measures in response to this matter. In the past, if Sharon had done something wrong, GK would have held a press conference to apologize or rify immediately. But this time, it was utterly silent. Not only was GK silent, but Sharon was also surprisingly quiet. Not only did Sharon stop creating trouble for Kisa, but she also did not even try to provoke her. This was out of Sharon¡¯s usual modus operand!. So Kisa wondered if Sharon was secretly nning a more sinister scheme. As the film crew finished shooting Goddess of My Adoration, The Legend of Luna also came to a wrap. The filming for the two dramas was wrapped up two days apart but were released on the same day. The day The Legend of Luna premiered, Kisa was highly nervous. After all, it was her first drama, and both Jensen and Kohen had high hopes for her. Other things aside, she did not want to disappoint anyone as far as this drama was concerned. Lea did not even watch the drama as she kept scrolling through thements and ratings. Not only did she check up on the reviews andments on The Legend of Luna, but she alsopared it to that of Goddess of My Adoration. ¡°Kisa, not good. Not good.¡± Kisa was watching the drama when Lea suddenly tugged at her sleeve. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she asked her in a tense voice, ¡± What¡¯s not good?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 469 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 469 Chapter 469 The Scourge ¡°It is Goddess of My Adoration,¡± Lea said, holding the tablet in front of her. ¡°Look, although the two dramas were released on different tforms, both of which are major ones. Goddess of My Adoration has just garnered over ten million views, while yours has as high as two hundred million.¡± Kisa was somewhat relieved. At first, she thought The Legend of Luna was T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. performing poorly. ¡°And your rating was 8.6, to begin with, while Goddess of My Adoration was 3.4, and all the people down there were cursing Sharon and her drama. Tsk¡­¡± Lea said. ¡°I pity other actors who have worked so hard. I just don¡¯t understand; Sharon¡¯s reputation has gone to the dogs, yet Mr. Kooper hasn¡¯t put her on the bench. Instead, he let her finish the drama and released it on the same day as yours. Isn¡¯t he inviting trouble?¡± Lea had many questions in mind. But Kisa just smiled. She did not think Gilbert was a fool. She knew men like Gilbert would not make such a mistake in the business world. He probably had his n when he was determined not to put Sharon on the bench and even released Goddess of My Adoration on the same day as The Legend of Luna; just that no one could figure out why he did that. In the Kooper residence, Sharon was crying in front of Madalyn, who nced at her with disgust. ¡°How could you still have the nerve to cry? You have ruined GK this time. GK has never had a drama with such a low rating and such a low viewership. I don¡¯t care if you ruin your reputation, but the problem is you have taken GK¡¯s drama down with you.¡± ¡°It is not like that, Mrs. Kooper Sr.,¡­¡± Sharon cried. ¡°This is all Gilbert¡¯s n. He deliberately ruined my reputation to ent Kisa¡¯s perfection. He used me to help that woman and the J & K Film Group.¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Madalyn was so angry that she stomped her cane on the ground. Sharon quickly said, ¡°This is what Gilbert told me personally. Even my scandal was Gilbert¡¯s doing. You heard what Gilbert said to the pressst time; he would sacrifice anything for that b*tch, including GKyou worked so hard to build.¡± Madalyn was so furious that her expression changed. ¡°Scourge, what a scourge!¡± ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., Gilbert won¡¯t listen to anything I say now. He only listens to that woman. But that woman is bent on thinking that Gilbert is behind the prison fire. She set up the J & K Film Group, and approached Gilbert, Andrew, and Ada to seek revenge. If this continues, Gilbert will die at her hands.¡± ¡°You shut up.¡± It flustered Madalyn to hear the word ¡®die¡¯, especially when Sharon mentioned her precious grandson. She red at Sharon sternly. ¡°Are you saying Kisa thought Gilbert was behind the prison fire?¡± Sharon nodded in apprehension. ¡°Yes¡­ Yes¡­ That is what that b* tch told me. She said she would kill Gilbert.¡± ¡°How dare she!¡± Madalyn rose to her feet and pped the table. ¡± Over my dead body if she wants to kill my precious grandson.¡± ¡°But that woman haspletely bewitched Gilbert. What can we do?¡± Madalyn narrowed her eyes. ¡± Don¡¯t worry. I have a way of making Gilbert change his mind.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 470 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 470 Chapter 470 You Have Be Arrogant Now Sharon was secretly pleased. Even if she could not get Gilbert to love her, she would not let Kisa have it. Kisa could now enjoy a rare moment of freedom, even after the drama was wrapped up. She and Lea stayed at home and watched dramas every day. She watched her drama with extra seriousness and was always thinking about improving her acting skills. One day, Lea saw something funny andughed out loud. She came up to Kisa. ¡°Look at thements for the Goddess of My Adoration today. I¡¯mughing my head off.¡± Seeing Lea¡¯s hrity, Kisa could not help but be curious. She paused the video she was watching and leaned over to look at Lea¡¯s tablet. [The female lead¡¯s acting skill is garbage. Her face must have had stic surgery to look that creepy.] [Ahh! I think her face job must have gone horribly wrong; her chin looks like a hoe.¡±] [The female lead is disgusting. I heard she peed in their pants when abducted. Tsk, goddess, my foot! She is sickening.] The thirdment had received hundreds of replies, all discussing what happened to Sharon during her abduction and how she peed in her pants. There were all kinds of spections. It embarrassed Kisa to read it. She knew Sharon would be distraught if she read this. But then again, she wondered how people knew about the story of her abduction and peeing in her pants. After all, Sharon and Howard were the only ones at the scene. While Howard went mad, and Sharon was not about to divulge to anyone about it, Kisa wondered who leaked that embarrassing story. Lea was stillughing. ¡°Kisa, did you see that? They said her chin looked like a hoe. I can¡¯t helpughing.¡± Kisa tossed the tablet back to Lea and said amusedly, ¡°You have read every singlement of this drama, haven¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Pretty much. Thosements are so funny. They even say the woman peed in her pants during the abduction, which is kind of nonsensical but hrious.¡± As if something came to mind, Lea said afterward, ¡°Hey, you were abducted along with herst time, weren¡¯t you? You should know if she really peed in her pants, right? Kisa lowered her eyes and smiled faintly without saying a word. She still felt sad and angry at the mention of that abduction. ¡®That Gilbert, choosing to save not me but Sharon at that moment of danger, proves that he really did not care about me at all. But all this time, his behavior seems to suggest that he has feelings for me. I can¡¯t understand what is on his mind anymore.¡¯ Kisa took a breath, feeling terrible. ¡®Forget it. Whoever he cares about, it has nothing to do with me.¡¯ Sheid back down and was about to resume the drama when Madalyn called her on the phone. Kisa¡¯s face turned grave as she knew things had changed, and Madalyn must be up to something when she called. The phone rang for a long time. Lea looked at Kisa curiously. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you answering?¡± Kisa hesitated for a long time before finally answering the phone when it rang for the second time. Madalyn¡¯s cold, stern voice came through. ¡°You have be arrogant now, eh?¡± Next Chapter Coming Soon...N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 471 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 471 Chapter 471 A Minute Late Kisa¡¯s eyes were downcast, and she was silent. ¡®Madalyn is really up to no good; I could tell by the tone of her voice. It is as if she is facing an enemy.¡® This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. ¡°You think you are so good now that you¡¯re a superstar? How dare you be so arrogant toward me?¡± Madalyn¡¯s voice turned harsher the longer she spoke. Kisa pursed her lips before she asked, ¡°What do you want to talk about, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?¡± ¡°Humph!¡± Madalyn snorted. ¡°Meet me alone at the teahouse on West Avenue in half an hour,¡± Madalyn said in a stern,manding tone of voice that allowed no one to retort before hanging up. Lea saw Kisa¡¯s expression and was worried. ¡°What is wrong with you?¡± Kisa shook her head and stared at the dimmed phone screen. Something bad happened every time Madalyn contacted her. She wondered if there was a secret plot against her again. She was hesitant to go when Madalyn suddenly sent her another message. [I wanted to talk to you about the prison fire five years ago. Come if you are interested.] Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she looked at the content of the text message. ¡®Back then, when the fire happened, Madalyn was in aa and could not possibly know about the fire. That is unless she was also secretly investigating the incident.¡® Thinking of this, she hurriedly got up to change her clothes. ¡°Kisa, are you going out? Do you want me to apany you?¡± Lea asked in puzzlement. ¡°No. I will be back soon,¡± Kisa said and quickly changed her clothes. She put on her hat and mask as she walked outside. West Avenue was near her ce, a 20¨Cminute drive. George was already waiting for her at the entrance of the teahouse. She masked herself so well that George did not recognize her until she came up and said hello. ¡°Hey, George.¡± ¡°Mrs. Kooper? Mrs. Kooper Sr. is waiting for you in the private room on the second floor. Hurry and go up.¡± Kisa nodded and hastened inside. There were few customers in the teahouse. When Kisa entered the private room, Madalyn looked down at her watch. Seeing Kisa, she grunted meanly, ¡°You are a minutete.¡± Madalyn used to be so kind, so much so that no matter what she had done wrong, Madalyn would never reprimand her. Now, she was only a minutete, and Madalyn was displeased. Kisa could still not understand what had made the kind and lovable Madalyn turn out like this. She sat opposite Madalyn and asked, ¡°What did you want to tell me by asking me toe?¡± Madalyn signaled the waitstaff to brew tea but said nothing. She did not seem to be in a hurry to say anything but just watched patiently as the waitstaff brewed and served her a cup of tea. She took a sip and said, ¡°The tea is freshly brewed. It smells great. Don¡¯t you want to try it?¡± Kisa was not in the mood for tea, but she did not press Madalyn to exin about the fire. She knew no one could stop Madalyn if she wanted to talk, and no one could make her talk if she did not feel like talking. After Madalyn finished her tea, Kisa picked up the teapot and poured another cup for her. Madalyn took another sip and looked at Kisa¡¯s hat and mask. ¡°Is that how you are going to talk to me?¡± Kisa hurriedly took off her hat and mask. Madalyn snorted before getting down to business. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 472 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 472 Chapter 472 The Man I Love is Never Him! ¡°Did you always wonder if Gilbert was behind the prison fire?¡± Kisa did not answer but asked instead, ¡°Did Gilbert tell you that?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to know who told me. I asked you toe here today just to tell you that Gilbert was behind the prison fire.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes widened in shock as Madalyn sneered, ¡°I¡¯m Gilbert¡¯s grandma, and he cares most about me. It was you who caused me to fall into aa, so Gilbert¡¯s hatred for you was obvious. He had beenpassionate toward you by setting you on fire.¡± ¡°You know very well that it wasn¡¯t me who caused you to fall into aa.¡± Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°So what? As long as Gilbert thinks it was you.¡± Madalynughed. Kisa felt a chill running up her spine. Judging by Madalyn¡¯s tone of voice, she apparently knows who exactly injured her, but she deliberately keeps it to herself and makes everyone think I have done it. She really hates me so much. But why?¡® ¡°The other day, Gilbert told me he had someone set fire to burn you alive in prison to avenge me, but I didn¡¯t expect you to have survived.¡± Kisa secretly clenched her hands and said nothing. Madalyn nced at her and sneered, ¡°But Gilbertter told me that even if you are still alive, it doesn¡¯t matter because he has thought of a better way to get back at you. Don¡¯t think, even for a moment, that Gilbert is interested in you simply because he has stayed at your ce these days. Let me tell you; he approached you, clinging to you, just so you would fall into his trap. The day you fall in love with him will be when your despair begins.¡± Listening to what Madalyn said, Kisa was filled with grief and anger. She tried to hide her emotions and smiled at Madalyn. ¡°What a coincidence! Gilbert deliberately approached me and treated me well to trick me into falling in love with him and then taking revenge on me. I have been keeping him at arm¡¯s length, ying hard to get with him, and even asionally, flirting a bit with him to trick him into falling in love with me and then taking revenge on him. It seems we are both thinking of the same thing.¡± ¡°B*tch!¡± Madalyn scoffed angrily. Kisaughed sardonically. ¡°Do you mean it is okay for Gilbert to get back at me in such a dirty way, but I¡¯m not allowed to cheat on his feelings?¡± Madalyn red at her. After a long while, she suddenly let out a sinister smile. ¡°Well, it depends on which of you falls for it first.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid I will disappoint you and Gilbert because the man I love is never him.¡± ¡°You!¡± ¡°That is the rule of the game; whoever falls in love first loses, and the one who never parts with their emotions will never fall into this kind of emotional trap. I have never loved and will never love Gilbert, so this kind of trap won¡¯t work on me.¡± Madalyn sneered, ¡°You are in love with Jensen, aren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Who I am in love with has nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°But I remember you told me many years ago that you loved Gilbert.¡± ¡°Yes, I lied to you because I wanted to be the wife of GK¡¯s CEO. Would you have forced him to marry me had I not lied to you? I think I have you to thank for my marriage to Gilbert.¡± Kisa said these words that were against her feelings to agitate Madalyn. But strangely, Madalyn was unruffled and poured the tea down her throat. Kisa respectfully refilled her cup. ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., is that why you asked me toe here today?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 473 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 473 Chapter 473 Thanks for Being Here ¡°What else do you want to hear if not this?¡± Madalyn said. Kisa shook her head and let out a half smile. ¡°Thank you for telling me this. At first, I only suspected Gilbert. But now I¡¯m dead sure that it was him after hearing what you said. Tell Gilbert I will take revenge, and I want an eye for an eye.¡± ¡°What a big mouth you have here. I will not let you hurt Gilbert even a bit. Also, Gilbert could have killed you back then, yet you are still ying this kind of rtionship game with him. Don¡¯t you feel disgusted? If you are capable, fight him squarely instead of ying this false rtionship game.¡± Kisa did not respond. Madalyn hissed and got to her feet. She held her cane and said in disgust, ¡°You should have died in your mother¡¯s womb and saved others the trouble.¡± Kisa subconsciously clenched her hands. The scene of her mother kneeling in the rain, yelling at her, came to mind. ¡®Why do you have to exist in this world? How much better it would be if you didn¡¯t exist!¡® ¡®Even my mom thought I shouldn¡¯t exist in this world. But what harm has my existence done to them? Why is no one willing to tell me? They me and dislike me, but no one knows that I¡¯m innocent and know nothing.¡® She bit her lower lip. As Madalyn pulled the door open, she could not help but ask, ¡°What harm has my existence done to you?¡± Madalyn stopped in her tracks, clutching her cane in anguish. After a long while, she took a deep breath and said, ¡°When it is time for you to know, you will know.¡± With that, Madalyn left. Kisa leaned back in her chair and looked at the wood carvings on the ceiling, her eyes welling up. ¡®I have done nothing wrong. Why do they all resent me so much? Even my mother asionally showed me her disgusted look. What have I done wrong?¡® ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., how are things?¡± Sharon rushed up to ask Madalyn as soon as she came back downstairs. Madalyn ignored her and handed George the recorder in her hand. ¡°Get someone to process this recording.¡± George looked in a predicament. ¡°Do we have to do this, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?¡± Madalyn frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t you even listen to me anymore?¡± George quickly bowed his head. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t mean that, then do as I say. It is not like I¡¯m going to kill her.¡± ¡°Absolutely. Mrs. Kooper Sr. isn¡¯t doing anything to that woman but just wants Gilbert to see that woman T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. for what she really is. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re trying to help that woman.¡± George shot Sharon a look and asked Madalyn, ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., are you returning to the Kooper residence now?¡± ¡°Yes, and you find someone to process the recording as soon as possible.¡± George nodded and helped Madalyn to walk outside. Sharon watched them leave, and when they were far away, she burst into hideousughter before walking upstairs. ¡°You b*tch, I will p you!¡± Sharon cursed and raised her hand to p Kisa in the face as soon as she pushed open the door. Kisa was quick in her reaction, and she got up at once. The next thing Sharon knew was a p across her face, and her hand froze in the air. Kisa took two steps back and looked at Sharon with a sneer. ¡°I¡¯m in a bad mood. Thanks foring over to be my punching bag.¡° Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 474 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 474 Chapter 474 That is Karma ¡°You¡­ You¡­¡± Sharon was so angry that her body was shaking. ¡°I feel a lot better after pping you,¡± Kisa mocked. ¡°B*tch!¡± Sharon hissed, picking up the kettle on the table and sshing it at Kisa. The water was boiling hot, with steam rising as Sharon emptied it from the kettle. It would cause serious burns when the skin came into contact with it. Fortunately, Kisa had dodged in time, and the boiling water sshed onto the chairs in front of her and the wooden floor. Sharon was probably not careful as the boiling water scalded her. She immediately threw away the kettle and cried in pain. Kisa came out from behind the chair and saw Sharon nursing her hand, the back of which was red. She said sarcastically, ¡°That is karma, isn¡¯t it?¡± Sharon red at her. ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were more sinister and vicious than anyone else, b8tch.¡± Kisa stared at Sharon expressionlessly and let her curse all she wanted. ¡°Why did you tell others about our abduction?¡± Kisa was startled for a moment, then realized what Sharon meant. Sharon was probably talking about the incident where she peed in her pants in fright. Kisa folded her arms in front of her chest and sneered, ¡°If our positions were swapped, you would have taken a loudspeaker and announced such a scandal of mine to the world. What right do you have to hurl usations at me?¡± ¡°You¡­ You¡­¡± Sharon was furious. ¡°I know. You are jealous that Gilbert saved me. Since Gilbert could set fire to you and the illegitimate child in your womb five years ago, he has not the slightest feelings for you. You can stop trying to seduce him. But I really feel sad for you. You still have hope for the man who has ruthlessly burned you and your baby in prison. How would you face your dead child?¡± Kisa listened to what Sharon said, her face expressionless. But she had a gut feeling that something was wrong, wondering why Madalyn and Sharon repeatedly emphasized that Gilbert was the one who was behind the prison fire. The more they spoke about that, the more abnormal Kisa felt. A thought came to mind, and she said to Sharon, ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr. also told me that Gilbert was behind the prison fire, and I believed it. But now that you are repeating it, I¡¯m a little suspicious.¡± Sharon frowned. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Nothing. I suddenly think that the person behind the prison fire was not Gilbert but you.¡± Sharon¡¯s face copsed, and she shook her head vigorously. ¡°Stop framing me for that. I know you are lying to yourself, refusing to believe that Gilbert was cruel and heartless to you. Heh, you are really a pitiful and pathetic woman.¡± With that, she grabbed her handbag and ran out in a huff, not bothering to continue arguing. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Kisa sat back in her chair with a frown. She was just testing Sharon on purpose. Seeing her panicked reaction, she was even more suspicious that Sharon was involved in the fire. ¡®If Gilbert was behind it, why did Madalyn tell me about it? In fact, Madalyn is so disgusted with me she cannot wait for Gilbert to take revenge on me. So why would she tell me all those secrets? It seems like Madalyn was telling me those things on purpose. But what was her intention?¡® Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 475 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 475 Chapter 475 Re-encountering Howard She rubbed her aching temple and cautioned herself to stop guessing. Besides, Jensen had already found the mystery man who had saved her; in time, she could learn something from him. She would not take what Madalyn had said seriously, but she would notpletely rule out Gilbert¡¯s suspicions, either. She would wait and see how things would unfold, eventually. To clear her mind, Kisa did not return to her ce immediately but wandered along the road. It was almost four 4.00 pm when Kisa texted Lea to help her pick up the three children. She did not know when Gilbert would take Andrew and Ada back to the Kooper family. Since they had been with her for over two months, she would feel sad if they left. The air was cool today, with no wind and clouds. Leaves covered both sides of the street, making the scenery deste. Kisa pulled her cor closer as she walked silently along a quiet trail full of leaves. Suddenly, someone ran out of a courtyard and hugged her tightly, shocking her. Before she knew what had happened, two more figures rushed out of the same courtyard. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go back in. I don¡¯t want to be locked in. You guys go away, go away¡­¡± Text content ?

He had gained a little weight and no longer had that fake gentle smile on his face. Now he looked a little childish. Kisa looked and found that next to her was the side door of a mental hospital. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Did he scare you?¡± One staff member apologized to Kisa, and the other came up, wanting to pull Howard away. But Howard grabbed at her arm, unwilling to let go no matter how hard the staff member pulled him. Kisa¡¯s arm hurt and reddened from Howard¡¯s sp. She helplessly said to the staff, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll handle it.¡± Then Kisa said gently to Howard, ¡°Why won¡¯t you go back in?¡± Howard shook his head vigorously. ¡°It is not fun inside. It is not fun at all.¡± ¡°Then I will go in with you, and we can y.¡± Kisa thought briefly and said, ¡°How about ying superstars?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± Howard jumped up and down with joy. ¡°I like superstar games. I want to y it.¡± And so Kisa sessfully coaxed Howard back into the mental hospital. But just as she was about to leave, Howard grabbed her again. ¡°You said you were going to y superstars with me. You shouldn¡¯t lie.¡± Kisa could do nothing about him and said, ¡°Fine, fine. You are a superstar. Look, there is a stage there. Go up there and perform. I will be your audience, okay?¡± Howard immediately climbed onto the stage and started acting and talking to himself. Kisa could not understand what he was saying. She just pped her hands and cheered. Suddenly, Howard pointed to a TV screen andughed, ¡°Haha¡­ I know that woman. I tied her upst time, and she was so scared that she peed in her pants. Haha¡­ Her acting skills are not as good as mine. She peed in her pants, haha¡­¡°) Kisa looked to the side and was surprised to see a 40¨Cinch LCD TV mounted on the wall next to her. She did not notice it at first because the volume was too low. Howard kept pointing at Sharon on the TV and saying that Sharon had wet her pants.

Kisa suddenly understood. ¡®No wonder Sharon¡¯s embarrassing story about wetting her pants is all over the Inte.¡® The sky quickly darkened this early winter and was alreadypletely dark by 7.00 p.m. when Gilbert arrived at the Kooper residence. The living room was well¨Clit. As he walked in quickly, he was relieved to see Madalyn sitting on the couch. He walked over. ¡°Grandma, are you all right?¡± Madalyn grunted while holding her cane in her hand. ¡°You are back atst. How long has it been since you have been back to this house? I think that woman has held you spellbound.¡± Gilbert had no words when he saw his grandmother so angry. ¡°Grandma, next time you want me to come back, you can tell me directly. Why do you always have to lie that you are sick? It is ominous to curse yourself like this.¡± ¡°Tell you directly?¡± Madalyn was furious at the mention of this. ¡°When have you ever listened whenever I asked you toe back? Would you havee back if I hadn¡¯t cursed myself like that?¡± As Gilbert loosened his tie and sat down on the couch across from her, Madalyn frowned in distaste. ¡°When will your fashion sense improve? You are the only one who wears a dark red tie with an ink¨Cblue suit. It is awful. Throw that tie away. It has a terrible color.¡± Gilbert kneaded his tie and shook his head. ¡°No, I like this one best.¡± Madalyn rolled her eyes. ¡°It is really awful. Ask George.¡± George giggled. ¡°I¨CIt looks alright, as long as Mr. Kooper likes it.¡± Madalyn shook her head in disdain and then stopped dwelling on the tie. She ordered the maid to serve Gilbert a bowl of soup. Gilbert leaned back leisurely on the couch. ¡°Grandma, did you call me back tonight for something?¡± Madalyn was agitated again. ¡°Can¡¯t I call you back even if there is nothing? Isn¡¯t this your home?¡± Seeing that his grandmother was so offended, Gilbert got up and went behind her, giving her a shoulder massage while saying with a smile, ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t be angry. I will feel bad if you fall sick because of anger.¡± ¡°Hmph, I didn¡¯t know that you still cared about me,¡± Madalyn grumbled, but her eyes were all smiles. ¡°Of course, I care about you, Grandma. You are the closest person in the world to me,¡± Gilbert said. George looked on and was filled with emotion, happy that Madalyn and Gilbert were fine after so many things had happened. Thinking about Kisa and what happened today during the day, George could not help but feel a bit sad. ¡°I met with Kisa today,¡± Madalyn suddenly said. Gilbert suddenly paused halfway through his massage. ¡°Why did you see her all of a sudden?¡± His voice unconsciously tensed up. ¡°Heh. Don¡¯t be so nervous. I did nothing to her. I just tested her out.¡± Gilbert frowned. He disliked the word ¡®test¡®. After all, it contained too much distrust. ¡°Why did you test her for no good reason?¡± Madalyn was not too happy upon hearing the displeasure in Gilbert¡¯s tone. ¡°I have only tested the woman a bit, and he shows me that expression. He really cares about her.¡® Not only was she not happy, but she was also worried. Now, no matter how she looked at the rtionship between Gilbert and Kisa, his grandson was obviously the one who was more deeply in love. She looked at George. ¡°yback the conversation between Kisa and me today for Gilbert to hear.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 477 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 477 Chapter 477 Falling for Her N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Gilbert looked tense. ¡°Grandma, what do you want to do again?¡± Madalyn held back her anger. ¡°I¡¯m not doing anything. Just letting you see that woman¡¯s true character.¡± After saying this, she was still disgruntled. ¡°You think I will harm you?¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and said nothing. George put a recorder on the coffee table With the button turned on, Kisa¡¯s voice came out from the recorder at once. ¡°I have been keeping him at arm¡¯s length, ying hard to get with him, and asionally flirting a bit to trick him into falling in love with me and then taking revenge on him.¡± ¡°The man I love is never him.¡± ¡°But I remember you told me many years ago that you loved Gilbert.¡± ¡°Yes, I lied to you because I wanted to be the wife of GK¡¯s CEO. Would you have forced him to marry me had I not lied to you? I think I have you to thank for my marriage with Gilbert.¡± Gilbert listened quietly to the conversation on the voice recorder, his face unusually calm. Madalyn thought he did not believe it and eagerly said, ¡°You should recognize that woman¡¯s voice. I didn¡¯t lie to you, nor did I y any tricks. These are her own words. I recorded the conversation to let you understand she doesn¡¯t love you.¡± ¡°Grandma, you brought a voice recorder to meet her because you expected her to say these words, didn¡¯t you?¡± Gilbert asked indifferently with his arms crossed. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Madalyn was offended. ¡°Are you saying that I set her up just for her to say this?¡± Gilbert said nothing. Madalyn was so exasperated she stomped her cane on the floor. ¡°Well, Gilbert, when was thest time you doubted me for that woman? I would give up my life for you. How could¡­ how could you doubt me?¡± Madalyn said, crying with aggrievement. ¡°Mr. Kooper, apologize quickly to Mrs. Kooper Sr. She did this for you. In this world, anyone can harm you, but not Mrs. Kooper Sr.,¡± George said, Gilbert got up and put his arm around Madalyn¡¯s shoulders. He believed his grandmother would not harm him, as she was the person he loved most. ¡°Come on, Grandma. I didn¡¯t doubt you. I was wrong to say that.¡± He coaxed her in a soft tone. Madalyn said indignantly, ¡°I brought the voice recorder to test her love for you, but it turned out to be what you just heard¨Cshe never loved you. In the end, it is also my fault. Had I not trusted her and forced you to marry her, you wouldn¡¯t have fallen for her and been unable to extricate yourself. This is all my fault. Madalyn sounded remorseful and regretful toward the end of the sentence. Gilbert could not bear to see his grandmother ming herself and said in a deep voice, ¡°It is not your fault. I would have married her even if you hadn¡¯t forced me to.¡± Madalyn¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she looked sadly at her grandson, who never showed his emotions.¡± So, you were already interested in her at that time?¡± I should have known it! My grandson has been the most stubborn¨Cno one can force him to do what he doesn¡¯t want to. What should I do now? My grandson has fallen for that woman.¡¯ Gilbert gently patted Madalyn¡¯s shoulder and suddenly got up. ¡°Okay, Grandma. It¡¯ste.

I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± Madalyn was about to say something more, but Gilbert had already walked out, leaving Madalyn holding her cane in grief. ¡°George, what do you think we should do now?¡± ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., let him be. You know he is headstrong and will stick it to the end when he loves someone. So why break them up?¡± Madalyn shook her head and said sadly, ¡°You don¡¯t understand. Had that thing never happened, I could have agreed to them being together. Now that the thing is standing between them, it will kill Gilbert when he finds out the truth, and that pain is no less than being separated from that woman. So I can only try to prevent them from being together now.¡± George was still none the wiser. ¡°Which thing are you talking about, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?¡± Madalyn waved her hand and shook her head. ¡°Forget it. I don¡¯t want to mention the past, but Gilbert should never be with her in this life.¡± George sighed sadly. When Gilbert heard the recorded conversation on the voice recording, he might look calm on the outside, but deep down inside, he had taken it all in. ¡®The man she loves is never me. Heh! Then who is the person she has always loved? Jensen?¡¯ It did not matter if his grandmother set up the conversation to be recorded. He was determined to ask Kisa himself. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. After having a shower, Kisa felt less exhausted. Howard had gone insane, not recognizing who she was. Though he had lost his mind, he still had an obsession with bing a superstar, insisting she ys the superstar game with him for hours, which really exhausted her. She finished her shower and just got out of the bathroom when her phone rang. It was Jensen calling, She dried her hair a bit, then rushed to answer the phone. ¡°Kisa, are you busy?¡± ¡°No. The drama is a wrap, so I¡¯m quite free these two days,¡± Kisa said. Jensen was silent for a bit and then said, ¡°I¡¯m back from a business trip, and I¡¯m at the airport.¡± ¡°Really, you¡¯re back?¡± Hearing the joy in Kisa¡¯s voice, Jensen said, ¡°I¡¯m thinking of asking you toe to pick me up. Is it convenient for you?¡± ¡°Yeah. Lea is here today. She can look after the children.¡± ¡°Okay, then I will wait for you.¡± After hanging up the phone, a smile inadvertently broke out on his face. Mia nced at Jensen and said sarcastically, ¡°Really? Shaun came early to pick you up. He has been waiting for you here for over two hours. Do you have to ask her to pick you up?¡± Jensen took off his sses, kneaded his forehead, and said to Shaun, ¡°Take Miss Fallon back home.¡± ¡°Aye.¡± ¡°You!¡± Mia was enraged. ¡°I know. You just want to be alone with that woman. But don¡¯t forget, she is Gilbert¡¯s woman, and they have been spending time together all this while. You-¡± ¡°Let me drive you home, Miss Fallon.¡± Shaun hurriedly brought Mia, tugging at Mia when he saw Jensen¡¯s darkened face. Mia was so exasperated that she took a deep breath. ¡°Fine. I don¡¯t care about you anymore. You can wait here if you want.¡± After Mia finished, she dragged Shaun away in a huff. Shaun quickly looked back at Jensen. ¡°We are leaving now, Mr. Kooper.¡± Jensen nodded with his eyes closed. In the lounge, he leaned against the seat with a sentimental look on his face. Mia was right. He purposely asked Kisa to pick him up to spend quality time alone with her. The night in the early winter was chilly. Kisa wore a long, lightweight down jacket and a white woolen hat. When she was about to leave the house, she suddenly saw the new scarf she had bought on the couch. After thinking for a second, she took it with her. Gilbert had just arrived downstairs when he saw Kisa walking out of the lobby. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 479 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 479 Chapter 479 Let Me Hug You For a While Even if Kisa covered herself from top to toe, Gilbert could recognize her instantly. ¡®The weather has turned colder. Where is she going at this hour?¡® While he was thinking, Kisa got into her car and drove off. With no time to think, Gilbert turned the car around and followed her. It was almost 9.00 pm, and there were still many people and cars on the street. Gilbert was following Kisa¡¯s car closely, afraid to lose her. After about half an hour, Kisa¡¯s car drove toward the airport. It puzzled Gilbert. ¡®Why is she going to the airport at this hour? Is she going to another city to attend some event? If she is going to an event, why isn¡¯t her assistant following her?¡® He followed her into the parking area of the airport. Kisa got out of the car and went straight toward the arrival hall. She also made a phone call while walking. Gilbert frowned. ¡®Is sheing to pick up someone? Is the person that important for her to pick him up personally at this hour?¡® Suppressing his curiosity, he hurriedly got out of the car and followed her. ¡°Jensen!¡± With the location Jensen had told her, Kisa finally found him in the lounge on the second floor. Jensen checked his watch. ¡°You arrived pretty fast.¡± ¡°Of course, I had to be quick to pick you up.¡± Kisa chuckled and asked curiously, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me when you were boarding the ne so that I could have picked you up earlier and you wouldn¡¯t have had to wait?¡± ¡°It is okay. That is fine.¡± While speaking, he suddenly got up and took her in his arms. Kisa froze. ¡°Jensen, you¡­ you¡­¡± ¡°It has been a long time. Let me hug you for a while.¡± Kisa nodded stiffly. She felt Jensen was a bit strange when he returned from this trip. Not far away, Gilbert red at the two embracing each other, his fists clenched at his side. ¡®Heh! So she is here to pick up Jensen. No wonder! Look at them. They look like a pair of lovers who have been separated for a long time and can¡¯t wait to embrace each other. The person she loves is never me. Even if Grandma had those words recorded by setting Kisa up, they were all genuine. The one she loves is never me but Jensen.¡® ¡°Jensen, have you had dinner?¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Jensen reluctantly let go of Kisa and smiled. ¡°Not yet.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go eat together. I have not eaten either.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Jensen smiled gently. As the two of them were walking out of the airport, Kisa suddenly remembered the scarf she had put in her handbag and hurriedly took it out. ¡°Now that the weather has turned cold, and the night is chilly, put this scarf on.¡± She tiptoed and wrapped the white scarf around Jensen¡¯s neck. Jensen looked down and rubbed the white scarf with a smile. ¡°Did you knit it?¡± Kisa quickly shook her head. ¡°Of course not. I can knit a scarf too, but I¡¯m not very good at it. Do you want it? If so, I will knit one for you when I have time. It is not difficult anyway.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± In the distance, Gilbert took off the tie around his neck andughed self¨Cdeprecatingly. ¡®She is so thoughtful of giving a scarf to Jensen, but she wouldn¡¯t even help me pick out a tie. This is the difference between us, and even this tie was chosen only because I forced her to. To think I still treasured it and wore it every day. Now, it is ironic to think about it.¡® He narrowed his eyes and threw the tie into the trashcan. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 480 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 480 Chapter 480 I¡¯m No Saint Either Kisa drove Jensen to a restaurant serving Lyonnaise cuisine. She unbuckled her seat belt and smiled at Jensen. ¡°The food in this restaurant is good. Gilbert took the kids and me here once before. You can try it.¡± Jensen smiled. ¡°Good, I like Lyonnaise cuisine.¡± Kisa smiled and got out of the car. ¡°Did you have a pleasant trip?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Gilbert watched quietly as the two walked into the restaurant together, his grip on the steering wheel tightening. Kisa had reserved a private room. She took off her mask, took a deep breath, and sighed. ¡°This is much morefortable.¡± Jensen looked at her with amusement. ¡°It is tiring to be an artist, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°It is alright. Fame and inconvenience always go hand in hand.¡± Jensen smiled and looked at her with gentle eyes. ¡°By the way, I have watched the premiere of your drama. It has a high viewership, rating, and great public praise. Kohen is pleased with your performance.¡± Kisa was relieved upon hearing what Jensen said, but she remained modest. ¡°I¡¯m d I didn¡¯t let you guys down.¡± ¡°In contrast, GK¡¯s drama had a poor showing. I think GK will lose a lot of money this time. You have dealt a heavy blow to Gilbert this time. Are you happy?¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Kisa nodded her head. Of course, she could not be happier, as her drama had be a hit. Not only did she live up to the expectations of those who helped her, but she could also get back at Sharon and Gilbert. The food was served. Kisa had ordered a bottle of red wine for Jensen. He poured a ss for himself and smiled at her. ¡°I drink to you. Congrattions on the sess of the drama.¡± Kisa quickly poured herself a ss of juice. ¡°I have to driveter.

I like him very much.¡± Jensen nodded with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m d that you like him.¡± ¡°His thoughtfulness really shows sometimes. He¡¯s so sensible that it is heartbreaking. I have often wondered how his parents could bear to abandon such a good child.¡± Jensen¡¯s eyes were downcast as he forced a smile. ¡°Maybe his parents had no choice.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t think they should abandon their child, no matter what. It is a good thing ke met you and Miss Fallon. Otherwise, I can¡¯t imagine what would have happened to him when he was so small.¡± A touch of self¨Cdeprecation shed in his eyes, which were still downcast. ¡®In fact, I¡¯m no saint, either,¡® he said in his mind. ¡°Kisa, since you like ke so much, let ke stay at your ce for a few more days. Will he trouble you?¡± ¡°No, no, no¡­¡± Kisa quickly shook her head. ¡°ke is very helpful, often helping me with housework. Having him stay with us is no trouble at all.

He will meet you soon.¡± N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. Kisa was surprised. ¡°He will meet me?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Jensen nodded his head, picked up the cutlery, fetched her some pork ribs, and said, ¡°He is also a sessful investor. He told me he wanted to invest in a drama and wanted you to be the female lead. So he will meet you when the timees, both for business and private purposes.¡± Kisa nodded, somewhat curious about this mysterious person who saved her. But she was more curious about how Jensen had found him. She looked at Jensen. ¡°How did you know he was the mystery man who saved me back then?¡± ¡°He told me. Kisa became more and more curious. ¡°He told you?¡± Jensen was a bit amused seeing her surprised look. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Let¡¯s eat, and I will slowly tell you.¡± Kisa smiled awkwardly and took a piece of pork rib. Jensen took a sip of wine, leaned back in his chair, and smiled at her. ¡°I was discussing business with a partner when I was introduced to a person named Mr. Tanner. He learned I was your manager, so he told me about the prison fire. Then I found out that it was he who saved you.¡± ¡°Then why did he save me?¡± She heard that the fire was so massive that the entire prison burned into ruins. Since the fire was so fierce, trying to save her from it must not be easy. She wondered what she had to do with Mr. Tanner from him to risk his life to save her. Seeing her doubts, Jensen said, ¡°You may ask Mr. Tanner the reason when you see him.¡± Kisa nodded, but because of the matter, she was a little absent¨Cminded. Jensen fetched her some more food and smiled. ¡°Come on, eat. If I had known it would affect your mood, I wouldn¡¯t have told you about it.¡± ¡°No.¡± Kisa forced a smile. ¡°I just have many questions in my mind, and I¡¯m eager to figure it out.¡± Jensen looked at her quietly for a long while, then suddenly smiled and asked, ¡°Are you tired?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Kisa was stunned and subconsciously shook her head. ¡°No, I¡¯m not tired.¡± ¡°Then why don¡¯t we go watch a movie after dinner?¡± ¡°Watch a movie?¡± Kisa was puzzled. ¡°Didn¡¯t you juste back from a business trip? Aren¡¯t you tired?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not tired. I just suddenly want to go watch a movie with you.¡± Seeing that Kisa said nothing, Jensen said again, ¡°But it is okay if you don¡¯t feel like going. We can go next time. Let¡¯s go home after dinner.¡± ¡°It is okay. I can¡¯t sleep anyway, so let¡¯s watch a movie.¡± ¡°Great. I will check right now which movies are showing today.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Kisa responded absent¨Cmindedly, still thinking about the mystery man. Outside the restaurant, Gilbert sat in his car, never stopping smoking. He red at the entrance of the restaurant, his eyes grim. He lost track of how long he had been waiting when the two finally came out of the restaurant. Even though Kisa was wearing a hat and a mask, he could still feel that she was in a good mood. ¡®Heh, when she was with me, she was always so reluctant and edgy. She can be so jubnt when she is with Jensen.¡® Gilbert repeatedly told himself that although the woman liked Jensen, she still had some affection for him. But seeing the difference between the woman¡¯s treatment of him and Jensen, he finally understood that he was only deceiving himself. The two soon drove away in their car. Gilbert ruthlessly stubbed out his cigarette and turned his car around to follow them. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 482 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 482 Chapter 482 Did You Think I Wouldn¡¯t be Angry? ¡®They are not going back home at all. They have only been apart for a short while, yet they are already so attached to each other.¡® Gilbert was mad at the thought of it. Finally, the car Gilbert was tailing stopped in front of a movie theater. Gilbert parked across the street and watched the two walking side by side into the cinema. They were like a couple in love, and it hurt his eyes to see this. ¡®She has never watched a movie with me. I didn¡¯t realize it wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t like to watch movies, but she had to watch it with Jensen.¡® ¡°There is only one sci¨Cfi movie left at this point. Are you interested?¡± Jensen said after checking the movies on his phone. ¡°If we had arrived ten minutes earlier, we might have been able to catch a romance movie. If you don¡¯t feel like watching sci¨Cfi, we can just go for a walk along the riverbank.¡± ¡°Come on, since we are here, we will definitely watch it,¡± Kisa said with amusement. ¡°Besides, sci¨Cfi movies are great. I enjoy watching them.¡± ¡°That is great. Let¡¯s go in,¡± Jensen said, holding her back in a gentlemanly manner as they walked toward the cinema. Kisa looked at his gentle side face and felt it was heartwarming. She felt Jensen was considerate, like a big brother, making her feel extra reassuring and dependable. Gilbert saw Kisa¡¯s expression as she looked at Jensen, and he thought Kisa admired Jensen. Quietly watching the two enter the cinema affectionately, he punched the steering wheel and pulled his hair frustratedly, his knuckles covered in blood. ¡®Kisa, I really shouldn¡¯t have been too kind to you. Did you think I wouldn¡¯t get angry and do anything to you? Heh!¡® He let out a grim smile, his grave eyes looking terribly ruthless. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. The next morning, Lea woke up at 6:30 a.m. and walked out of the room, still yawning with her mouth wide open. Before she could finish her yawn, a man sitting on the couch startled her. He was quiet, his eyes bloodshot, and his face sullen. The coffee table was cluttered with bottles of wine, and the air lingered with the choking smell of smoke. It would have been a disaster if the three children had seen this mess. She hurriedly opened all the windows and cleaned up the coffee table full of beer bottles and an ashtray. Lea felt the man was so intimidating that she almost dared not breathe. Her hands were shaking when she cleaned up the coffee table. After a long while, she nced at the ghastly¨Clooking man and cautiously asked, ¡°Mr. Kooper, w¨Cwhat is wrong?¡± She felt it was strange. ¡®Aren¡¯t Mr. Kooper and Kisa getting along well all along? What happened that caused Mr. Kooper to look so gloomy and scary?¡® Seeing Gilbert leaning back on the couch and saying nothing, Lea warily said, ¡°I¨CI will go wake Kisa up.¡± After knocking several times on the door, there was no answer. But Lea could not stand to see Gilbert¡¯s terrible mood. Kisa was the only person who could handle the situation. ¡°Kisa, if you don¡¯t answer, then I wille in.¡± In desperation, she reached to open Kisa¡¯s room door without consent. She was stunned after she opened the door. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 483 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 483 Chapter 483 Kisa Spent the Night with Jensen Kisa was not in her room. The bedding on the bed was neatly folded, and at a nce, it was clear that Kisa had stayed out all night. Lea wondered why Kisa had note home all night. When she thought of Kisa telling her she would pick up Jensenst night, she suddenly thought of something and eximed in surprise, ¡°No way. Kisa spent the night outside with Jensenst night?¡± After saying that, she realized she had made a blunder. She hurriedly covered her mouth and looked at Gilbert anxiously. But Gilbert did not pay any attention to her and just leaned back on the couch with his eyes closed. At this time, the three children came out of their rooms in tandem. Ada saw Gilbert on the couch and went over to him. ¡°Daddy, when did you get here?¡± Thinking that Gilbert was in a dark mood and afraid it might affect the children, Lea hurriedly pulled Ada over. Ada was puzzled. ¡°Auntie Lea, what is wrong?¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°N¨CNothing. Your daddy just came over, and he is a little tired. So let¡¯s not disturb him. You guys go wash up, and once you¡¯re done, I will take you out for breakfast and then drive you to kindergarten, okay?¡± Ada nodded obediently but still looked at Gilbert with a worried face. ¡°Daddy looks exhausted.¡± Andrew took her hand. ¡°Then don¡¯t disturb Daddy. Let¡¯s go wash our faces and brush our teeth.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Watching Ada and Andrew go to the bathroom to wash up, Lea finally breathed a sigh of relief. But ke was still staring at Gilbert with an odd look on his face. Lea asked, ¡°What is wrong, ke?¡± ¡°Is Ma¡¯am still sleeping?¡± Lea was startled for a moment and said, ¡°Yeah. Let¡¯s not wake her up, okay?¡± ke nodded and looked at Gilbert for a second before gingerly going to the bathroom. After Lea took all three children out, Gilbert slowly opened his eyes and released a terribly bitter smile. Kisa woke up with Jensen¡¯s jacket over her body. She rubbed her sore eyes and adjusted the seat upright. The morning sun was warm and dazzling. She pushed the door open, got out of the car, and saw Jensen sitting on a stone pier, not far away, smoking. Kisa took her jacket, walked over to him, and draped her jacket over him. ¡°It¡¯s chilly in the morning. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± Jensen stubbed out his cigarette and turned to look at her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. This scarf you gave me is very warm. I don¡¯t feel cold at all,¡± he said, and took off his jacket and draped it over her body. He then held her hand again with a smile. ¡°Look, my hand is warmer than yours.¡± Jensen¡¯s hand was indeed warm. Kisa said nothing more but asked, ¡°Are you going back now?¡± ¡°Well, I will go back after breakfast. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. You haven¡¯t slept well. Go home and get some sleep.¡± Kisa nodded and turned around to go to the car. After watching the moviest night, she was getting more and more energetic and did not feel like sleeping at all. Jensen suggested they go to the river for a walk, and they ended up chatting in the car. They talked about everything, about their childhood, about what happened to each of them after they were separated when they were young. They talked almost all night until Kisa fell asleep. It was Jensen who drove them back. When they arrived at Kisa¡¯s ce, Kisa got out of the car and gave Jensen the jacket. ¡°You go home and get some rest too.¡± ¡°Well, I will let you know as soon as I hear from Mr. Tanner.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The two smiled at each other and walked into the apartment lobby together. At this hour, the children were off to school. Kisa assumed no one was in the house. She entered the house, took off her down jacket, and headed for the bathroom. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 484 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 484 Chapter 484 You¡¯re a Sore Loser The hot water washed over the body and rinsed away the fatigue. Feelingfortable, Kisa stood under the showerhead for a long time before turning off the water heater. Wrapping a towel around her, she went to the dressing mirror and picked up the hair dryer hanging on the wall to blow¨Cdry her hair. Her hair was so thick and long that it took a while to dry. Turning off the hair dryer, she tightened the towel around her body, opened the bathroom door, and walked outside. The house was quiet, perfect for sleeping, She yawned, picked up her phone, and leisurely headed to her room. Once inside, she first went to draw the ckout curtains. Once she drew the curtains, the room instantly turned dark. She turned around and fumbled to turn on the light beside the headboard. The light that was turned on shimmered in a soft, warm yellow light. She went to the closet, unwrapped the bath towel, and then searched through the cupboard for a robe. Suddenly, she heard the faint sound of someone breathing. She tensed up and looked around nervously. She was shocked to see someone standing by the door of the room. It was no one else but Gilbert. Reflexively, Kisa pulled a shirt to cover her body and red at him in annoyance. ¡°What are you doing here? Get out.¡± She had not seen him when she just came in, so she wondered when he came in. He was like a ghost. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Gilbert ignored her exasperation and walked toward her. As he approached, Kisa got a good look at his face, which was grim with bloodshot eyes. He had obviously been drinking and reeked of alcohol, with a hint of menace. Kisa subconsciously stepped back. ¡°W¨CWhat is wrong with you?¡± Gilbert had been courting hertely, never getting angry with her, let alone looking so dreadful now. ¡®What is going on? Is it because my drama has beaten Sharon¡¯s and cost him a lot of money that he came after me? Thinking of this, Kisa said, ¡°I won fair and square. Sharon¡¯s drama is showing poorly because of her own issues. I didn¡¯t y any tricks behind her back. So you should ept defeat. Don¡¯t make me think you are a sore loser.¡± Gilbert chuckled, but it was colder than the frost in the winter. His bitterly sad eyes lingered on her body, making her shiver ufortably. She covered her important parts with her clothes and said furiously, ¡°Get out. We will talk about itter.¡± ¡°You spent the night out with Jensenst night. What have you done?¡± Gilbert¡¯s voice was low and hoarse to the point of being intimidating. Kisa did not expect him to bring up Jensen out of the blue. She wondered how Gilbert knew about Jensen. While she was wondering, Gilbert suddenly grabbed her arm and yanked her hard, pressing her hard against the closet. The clothes covering her body fell off with a jolt. She tried to reach for it, but Gilbert held down her hands. In this position where Gilbert restrained her, Kisa only felt offended and embarrassed. Her face blushed, and her body was awash in shame. She red at the man in front of her with shame and anger. ¡°What is wrong with you again?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 485 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 485 Chapter 485 You Are One Bad Woman ¡®He¡¯s crazy,¡® Kisa thought. ¡®He¡¯s getting angry for no reason.¡® ¡°Tell me, what did you and Jensen dost night?¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth and asked, his voice getting deeper. ¡°We didn¡¯t do anything.

Didn¡¯t you guys grab some food, watch a movie, and¡­ have sex?¡± ¡°You were stalking me?¡± Gilbert¡¯sst two words did not register in Kisa¡¯s head. All she could think about was that this man had followed her the night before. She was disgusted. ¡°Are you crazy?

Is that what¡¯s all in that dirty mind of yours?¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Gilbert was trembling in anger, his hand almost breaking Kisa¡¯s wrist. Kisa was in so much pain. that she wanted to scream. She bit her lower lip and stared at the man in front of her. ¡°Whether you believe it or not, we didn¡¯t do anything.¡± ¡°So you¡¯re telling me that a lonely man and a widow, who have feelings for each other, spent the night together but didn¡¯t do anything naughty? Hah.¡± ¡°It¡¯s up to you if you want to believe me or not, but we¡¯ve never been as nasty as you imagined us to be!¡± Kisa yelled angrily. However, Gilbert did not believe a word she said. The smell of alcohol and danger that emanated from his body made her feel unsettled. Kisa was imprisoned by his posture. All she wanted to do was escape. She struggled vigorously, trying to pull her wrist away as she yelled at Gilbert angrily, ¡°Let go of me! There¡¯s nothing between us anymore. Why are you still questioning me like this? Let me go!¡± ¡°Gilbert, let me go. Gilbert¡­¡± Kisa¡¯s resistance and struggle annoyed Gilbert even more. His head was pounding, and his temples were throbbing. He felt like he was going crazy whenever he thought of Kisa being with Jensen. ¡°You must¡¯ve been very happy to have him on top of you, right?¡± He stared at her with bloodshot, animal- like eyes and asked. Kisa shook her head hastily. Although her heart was full of anger and resentment, she did not want to argue with him anymore. She knew that Gilbert was in a highly unstable state, especially because he was drunk. Anything she said would just agitate him. She looked at him in fear, and her voice became much softer than before as she said, ¡°Gilbert, please stop. Let me go¡­¡± ¡°Do you really love Jensen that much?¡± Gilbert asked as tears welled up in his eyes. ¡°No,¡± Kisa quickly shook her head and said. ¡°What¡¯s so good about him? If¡­ If you guys had been together from the start, I¡­ I wouldn¡¯t be fighting for you like I am right now. But why did you have to mess around with me before getting it on with him? You are one bad woman, Kisa Becker.¡± Kisa was sad. She felt wronged. ¡°I didn¡¯t mess around with you, and I didn¡¯t get on with him. I didn¡¯t do anything,¡® she said, choking up. ¡°What do you mean you didn¡¯t do anything?¡± Gilbert sneered. ¡°I¡¯m hurt and battered because of you.¡± N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. ¡®I¡¯m the one who¡¯s been hurt and battered,¡® Kisa thought. Her wrist was still hurting in Gilbert¡¯s hand. She tried her best to lower her voice and said, ¡°Don¡¯t do this. Just let go of me first, okay?¡± Gilbert did not budge. ¡°You¡¯re hurting me, Gilbert. Please let go of me,¡± Kisa said as she bit her lower lip in pain. Gilbert loosened his grip slightly when he heard that, but he was still holding on to her wrist. It did not hurt that much anymore. At that moment, the phone Kisa had dropped on the ground suddenly rang. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 486 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 486 Chapter 486 | Grant You Your Wish Kisa lowered her gaze and realized it was Jensen calling. ¡®He may be calling about the guy who saved my life,¡¯ she thought. She then unconsciously pushed Gilbert away and knelt to pick up her phone. However, when she was about to answer the call, he snatched the phone off the ground. ¡°Give me back my phone,¡± Kisa said as she tried to get it back. Gilbert looked at the caller ID and mocked, ¡°Look at yourself. Why are you so on edge about his call if there¡¯s really nothing going on between you two?¡± ¡°No¡­ It¡¯s because¡­¡± Kisa shut her mouth immediately after that. ¡®I cannot let him know about this. After all. I don¡¯t know who started the fire yet, and he¡¯s still a potential suspect. If he were the one behind all this, he would definitely cause trouble for the person who saved my life.¡® ¡°What? Why did you stop?¡± Gilbert¡¯s expression became colder when he saw that Kisa had stopped talking. ¡°I¡¯ll exin everything to youter.

Just calm down first, okay?¡± Kisa said as she backed away in fear. ¡°Since you want to answer his call that much, then I will grant you your wish.¡± Kisa trembled when she saw the coldness in Gilbert¡¯s eyes. ¡°Do you think he¡¯ll finally give up when he hears us moaning in pleasure?¡± Gilbert asked. ¡°No!¡± Kisa started to have a meltdown. ¡°You can¡¯t humiliate me like this!¡± Gilbert nced at her expressionlessly. He picked up the call and casually threw the phone onto the bed. Meanwhile, Kisa rushed over to the bed, wanting to hang up the phone. But before her hand touched the phone, Gilbert pushed her onto the bed with his body. Kisa hit him and desperately struggled to get Gilbert off, but the man was not in his right mind at that moment. He held her down and thrust his hips regardless of how much Kisa was squirming. Kisa bit her lips, trying hard not to make a sound. ¡°Come on, moan for me. How can he hear how much fun we¡¯re having if you don¡¯t make some noise?¡± Gilbert said maliciously. Kisa stared at him but stayed quiet. No matter how hard the man thrust, she remained silent. Her lips turned pale and bled from the biting, but she still would not utter a sound. Gilbert was angry, but he gained some sense back when he saw the tears pooling in Kisa¡¯s eyes. He softened his movements and reached out to wipe her tears, but Kisa turned away from him in disgust as her eyes filled with hatred. Gilbert withdrew his hand. He was no longer hesitant, nor did he pity Kisa one bit. All he did was feed into his lust. ¡®No matter what I do, I will never have a ce in her heart. Dominating over her is better than nothing. After all, she already hates me. It¡¯s fine if I make her hate me a little more,¡® he thought. When he was finished, his head hurt even more. He nced at the woman whose back was turned to him. He reached out to touch her but stopped halfway through the motion. After a long time, he withdrew his hand, got up, and walked to the bathroom. Kisa bit the back of her hand as her tears fell onto the pillow, leaving stains. ¡®It¡¯s always been like this. That man has never pitied or cared for me. All he does is bully me and humiliate me.

He pressed his hands onto the sink as he looked into the mirror. He had a self¨Cdeprecating smile as a pair of bloodshot eyes stared back at him. ¡®What have I be? All this for a woman?¡® He felt a sort of sick satisfaction with what he had done to Kisa earlier, but he also deeply regretted his actions at the same time. ¡®I told myself I would never touch that woman like that again, but what did I just do?¡¯ Gilbert¡¯s temples throbbed. He hit the sink irritably, adding a new wound to his already injured knuckles. Water was still dripping from his messy hair. He stared at the mirror for a long time before walking out of the bathroom. Suddenly, the bathroom door mmed open. A fruit knife flew toward Gilbert at the speed of light. He did not dodge. Instead, he just watched the woman try to stab him with hatred stered across her face. It seemed like he was betting with himself that she would not actually be heartless enough to stab him in the chest. If I get this right, then there¡¯s hope for our rtionship. If I¡¯m wrong, it¡¯s no big deal. I¡¯ll just lose my life, he thought. When the tip of the knife pierced through his skin, heughed in a self¨Cdeprecating manner. Turns out I lost. I¡¯ve never won this bet, have I? I can¡¯t believe that she would actually be so cruel. But I guess grandma was right, I don¡¯t have a ce in her heart.¡¯ The tip of the knife prated Gilbert¡¯s skin bit by bit. The pain he felt from his chest instantly spread throughout his body. He swayed unsteadily. Kisa let go of the fruit knife and quietly looked at the blood that was flowing out of his chest. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you get out of the way?¡± Kisa asked as she smiled destely. ¡°Do you really want me to die that much?¡± Gilbert lowered his eyes, shook his head, and chuckled. ¡°Yes!¡± Kisa replied without hesitation. Her face was expressionless. Gilbert was disappointed. He pulled the knife out of his chest, and more blood gushed out, staining a large area of his shirt red. He staggered up to Kisa and handed her the knife with blood all over his hands. ¡°Then stab me again. Deeper this time. If you¡¯re lucky, maybe I¡¯ll die instantly.¡± Kisa refused to take the knife, but Gilbert tried to force it into her hands. One was adamant in giving it, while the other did not want it. During their struggle, the knife fell, and the blood from the knife stained the wet floor red. Kisa started getting anxious when she looked at the blood. ¡°What? You¡¯re not trying to kill me now?

Suddenly, a loud noise sounded. Gilbert seemed to have bumped into something. Kisa did not dare turn around. Instead, she just clenched her fists. It was not until she heard the sound of the front door opening and closing that she weakly fell to the floor. She looked at the blood¨Cstained fruit knife lying on the ground, hugging her knees in a fetal position as she burst into tears. For a moment, she hated Gilbert so much that she wanted to kill him andmit suicide afterward. But she couldn¡¯t bring herself to do it. As the knife pierced through his chest, she had felt frightened again, and her whole body was trembling. She hated how weak and helpless she was. As Gilbert staggered out of the apartment, he saw Jensen leaning against the opposite door. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 488 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 488 Chapter 488 You Have My Blessing Jensen was smoking a cigarette. There were many cigarette butts near his feet. Gilbert nced at him and chuckled, ¡°Did you hear everything?¡± ¡°You *sshole!¡± Jensen hit Gilbert in the jaw after he said that, but Gilbert did not dodge. He took the punch. and fell to the ground, battered. Jensen then threw the cigarette away, rushed over, and grabbed Gilbert by the cor. ¡°How could you treat her like that? There¡¯s really nothing going on between us!¡± said Jensen as he went for two more punches. ¡°Do you love her?¡± Jensen was silent. He stared at Gilbert fiercely and thought, ¡®This is the first time I¡¯veid a hand on you. If you weren¡¯t my brother, I would kill you right here and now.¡® Seeing that he was not answering, Gilbertughed. There was a hint of sadness behind hisughter. ¡°You have my blessing, okay?¡± Jensen frowned. ¡°What do you mean?¡± he asked. ¡°You have my blessing. You and her¡­ I wish¡­ I wish you a happy life together¡­¡± A huge smile was stered on Gilbert¡¯s face, but his eyes were filled with sadness. His lips were pale, and his gaze looked dead. Jensen stared at him intently and saw blood seeping through his suit. His heart sank. He hurriedly tore Gilbert¡¯s coat off and saw it was all red. ¡°What happened?¡± Jensen choked on his breath and asked. ¡°She wants me dead¡­¡± Gilbertughed as tears filled his eyes. ¡°You have my blessing, Jensen. You have my blessing¡­¡± ¡°Stop it. I¡¯ll bring you to the hospital right now.¡± Jensen sounded tense. He quickly carried Gilbert and rushed to the lift. Jensen panicked as more blood gushed out of Gilbert¡¯s chest. He rushed him to the hospital as quickly as possible. When they arrived at the hospital, Gilbert waspletely unconscious, and he was sent to the emergency room. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Jensen leaned against the wall outside and waited. He looked calm on the surface, but underneath it all, he was feeling all sorts of pain. He took a deep breath and looked out the window to see the sun. When they were young, he and Gilbert loved lying under the warm winter sun. Gilbert had liked to draw, while he had liked to read. Once, he even secretly drew Jensen reading a book. Gilbert was very talented. His artwork was very realistic and still well¨Ckept by Jensen. But the past remained in the past. They could never go back to those peaceful and happy times again. Jensen had never wanted to hurt his brother. Even though he had some resentment and hatred toward him and wanted to take revenge against him and the entire Kooper family when he got back, he still wanted to save his younger brother at that critical moment. Madalyn rushed to the hospital immediately while George and Sharon tagged along. ¡°How is he doing?¡± Madalyn asked as soon as she saw Jensen. J ¡°They¡¯re still resuscitating him,¡± he replied and shook his head. Madalyn pursed her lips. It was heart- wrenching to see someone her age pretending to be calm in a situation of panic. George helped her to the chair and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mrs. Kooper Sr. Mr. Kooper will be fine.¡± Madalyn did not say a word. Her hands were tightly holding onto her cane. She had waited like this years ago when her son and daughter¨Cinw were sent to the emergency room, but they never came out alive. She lowered her head and tried to suppress her emotions. Suddenly, Sharon walked up to Jensen. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 489 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 489 Chapter 489 I identally Stabbed Him ¡°What happened, Jensen?

He felt a little sad and self¨Cdeprecating. Then, he snickered, turned his gaze out the window, and remained silent. ¡°It must be that woman. Kisa¡¯s the one who stabbed Gilbert, right?¡± Sharon rolled her eyes and said angrily. Jensen did not reply, which then made Sharon even more sure of her suspicion. ¡°That woman is vicious. She messed with GK Pictures, and now she¡¯s trying to take Gilbert¡¯s life? I¡¯ll call her now and ask her why she did that. I¡¯ll call the police and have her arrested.

Sharon was stunned. ¡°Jensen, you¡­ You¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll buy you a new pher, but don¡¯t you dare call Kisa or the police on her. If not, I¡¯ll smash every single phone you have.¡± Although Jensen had always been the gentle one, he was even more terrifying than Gilbert when he was mad. Sharon resentfully took two steps back and said, ¡°Jensen, that woman almost killed Gilbert. How can you still stand up for her? Don¡¯t tell me she¡¯s more important to you than your own brother.¡± Jensen looked at her and chuckled, ¡°Kisa¡¯s your sister, your biological sister. Don¡¯t tell me that a man is more important than your own sister.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Sharon was at a loss for words. She was dissatisfied but did not dare say anything else to Jensen. She had always been afraid of him. Even though he had the best temper among them, Sharon was still scared of him for no apparent reason. ¡°How can those two things be the same? My sister is a vicious person. Even if I care about her, I can never protect her against my own morals, can I?¡± Sharon gritted her teeth and unwillingly said. Jensen sneered in disgust when he heard that. Sharon felt embarrassed. Seeing that Jensen would not be moved by her words, she decided to go to Madalyn. ¡°Grandma, this is the second time Kisa has stabbed Gilbert. She almost killed him thest time to save herself. You must not spare her this time. Otherwise, Gilbert would be dead¡­¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Madalyn shouted. ¡°You don¡¯t have to remind me.

She did not dare make a sound, but her heart was full of rage. ¡®When I be the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO and a part of the Kooper family, I¡¯ll teach this old woman a lesson,¡® she thought. The four of them waited quietly outside the emergency room. After some time, the doors to the emergency room opened. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 490 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 490 Chapter 490 He Is Not in Fatal Danger Madalyn hurriedly rose to her feet to meet him. Due to her impatient movements in addition to her older age, Madalyn almost fell from her stumbling footsteps. Fortunately, Jensen quickly held onto her. Madalyn anxiously asked the doctor, ¡± How is my grandson?¡± ¡°The patient¡¯s wounds are deep, and the new wound is right on the position of the old injuries with major blood loss. Thankfully, we were able to save him in time. He won¡¯t be in any life¨Cthreatening danger, but his body will be frail. He would need to recuperate for a while. ¡°Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Madalyn almost fainted from all the panic. After hearing the final half of the statement, she finally let out a deep sigh of relief. Jensen¡¯s strained nerves also slowly rxed. Gilbert was immediately pushed out of the sick ward. His face was pale as paper and seemed to have no hint of vigor. Madalyn sat at the side of the sick bed, caressing the back of Gilbert¡¯s hand repeatedly. Her aging eyes were filled with distress. Jensen leaned by the window, watching quietly. His heart had a strange feeling, a little bit of jealousy and a little bit of envy. The only time that he could receive that warmth from Madalyn was when he was sick. Hence, during his childhood, he would frequently wish to get sick. Sometimes, he would crouch in cold water just to get ill. Thinking about it now, he felt that he was indeed pitifully petty then. George the butler nced at Gilbert and spoke to Madalyn,¡± Madam Kooper Sr., the master is fine. You can finally be at peace. In a moment, I will be handling the discharge procedures to allow him to recuperate at home. Besides that, I have informed Kelvin to let him check up on the young master again more thoroughly.¡± Madalyn nodded her hair while stroking Gilbert¡¯s forehead, ¡°Fortunately, Gilbert is fine. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t know how to bear it when I¡¯m at such an old age.¡± Seeing the few people deliberately not mentioning Kisa, Sharon was afraid Kisa would be free of me. She quicklyined to Madalyn, ¡°Honestly! Gilbert just walked through Hades¡® gates, but Kisa wouldn¡¯t even show her face here. From what I see, she intentionally wants to take Gilbert¡¯s life. If it was not for Jensen sending Gilbert to the hospital in time, I¡¯m afraid he would have died by Kisa¡¯s hand this time.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough, Ms. Case. The madam knows what she¡¯s doing regarding this issue. You should instead refrain from talking too much.¡± ¡°I just feel that Gilbert didn¡¯t deserve this. He had always protected that woman, but what did he get instead? Madam Kooper Sr¡­,¡± Sharon held onto Madalyn¡¯s arm and spoke angrily, ¡°This time, you have to punish Kisa heavily. You should not show her mercy so lightly this time.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough. I¡¯ve already known,¡± Madalyn softly replied to her soundly but surprisingly was not cross. George the butler also felt puzzled since Madam Kooper Sr. had always deeply resent Kisa. Kisa had hurt the young master badly. She was supposed to be very angry. However, Madam Kooper Sr. was unusually calm. Seeing Gilbert not being in any life¨Cthreatening danger, Jensen stayed in the sick ward for a while and soon left. He did not look for Kisa but merely sent Kisa short messages ¨C He was not in life- threatening danger.N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Kisa sat by the bed like a puppet. She quietly looked at the contents of the message, her face without a trace of emotion. The curtains in the room were pulled tightly shut, and the room was pitch ck. The dim light from the cell phone on her face made her seem eerily frightened. She stared at the phone for a long time, then only she replied with a message. She only asked Jensen to fetch the three kids after school on time. She also requested Jensen to look after the three kids appropriately for the next two days. She turned off her phone andy on the bed after sending the messages. She covered her whole body under the sheets as if this act would make her feel safe. Gilbert was in aa for a day and night before waking up. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 491 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 491 Chapter 491 Already Heartbroken He woke up, and Kelvin was the first thing that caught his eye. Kelvin had both his hands in his pockets while leaning by the window. Seeing him awake, Kelvin could not help but mock him, ¡°Can¡¯t you take care of your body properly and let me have some fun out there for a few days?¡± Gilbert stared at the ceiling emotionlessly, without making a sound. If it wasn¡¯t for both his eyes that were opened wide, no one would have known he was awake. ¡°I heard your injuries were caused by Kisa stabbing you again?¡± Kelvin asked. Gilbert still did not make a sound. Kelvin eximed with a sigh and raised his feet to walk toward him. ¡°That woman and these injuries are truly destined for each other. I wonder if she would stab you at the same ce for the third time.¡± ¡°She wouldn¡¯t.¡± He finally spoke. His voice was so gravelly that his ears would hurt. Kelvin quickly poured a cup of water for him. Yet when water was passed in front of him, he turned his head without a hint of gratefulness. Kelvin huffed angrily, ¡± If you don¡¯t want to drink it, fine then!¡± After a long pause, he continued to make fun of him,¡± How would you know if she wouldn¡¯t stab you in the same ce a third time. I¡¯m telling you, as long as you love her more and more profound than her, the one getting hurt will always be you. Actually, I used to be in favor of the two of you. But now, I think both of you should cut yourselves offpletely. I don¡¯t want to see you die young.¡± ¡°What Kelvin said is not wrong.¡± Madalyn suddenly pushed through the door walking in. She walked to the side of the bed while holding her cane. She then stared at her precious grandson dearly and spoke solemnly, ¡°If a woman can stab you twice in a row, that proves that she either has never kept you in her heart or is born cruel. I see that for both qualities, Kisa has them all. Do you still want to stay so stubborn?¡± Even though she really hated Kisa for hurting her precious grandson this time, this time was undoubtedly an excellent chance for her dear grandson to lose give up on Kisa. Hence, she would rather not fuss about Kisa this time and let her darling grandsonpletely get over her. ¡°I¡­ will not stay stubborn anymore,¡± Gilbert spoke calmly; his pale white face showed no emotion. Kelvin stared at him with furrowed eyebrows. He kept feeling that Gilbert had changed into another person after waking up this time. He chuckled, ¡°If you practice what you preach, then that¡¯s more like it.¡± ¡°This time, I¡¯ll walk the talk.¡± Upon seeing the lifelessness and devastation in Gilbert¡¯s eyes, Madalyn felt pleased deep down. It seems this time Gilbert was definitely hurt by Kisa deep enough. Madalyn held onto Gilbert¡¯s hand and spokepassionately, ¡± If you can think this through, then it¡¯s all right. Grandma will introduce you to a betterdyter. She¡¯ll be better than that woman a hundred times more. By then, you¡¯ll get better and slowly forget about that woman.¡± ¡°¡­ Alright.¡± Madalyn did not expect Gilbert to actually agree. She felt happy deep down and said, ¡± Until then, we will fetch Ada and Andrew back. We¡¯ll live well together as a family. We won¡¯t mention that woman ever again, alright?¡± ¡°¡­Alright.¡± Seeing that her dear grandson would answer her in a well¨Cbehaved manner regardless of what she says. Madalyn looked at Kelvin ecstatically. But Kelvin¡¯s heart was slightly heavy. Gilbert was clearly dead inside. In this case, even if he was alive, Kelvin was afraid he was just a walking corpse with none of his former glory. ¡°Uncle, my aunt isn¡¯t at home?¡± Ada was unhappy today. Not only did she not get to meet Kisa today, but she also felt that her dad was acting weird. Jensen touched her tiny head and said, ¡°Your aunt is at home, but she is exhausted.

A cold rain drizzle created even more waves of depression within her heart. She leaned on the window and stared nkly at the gray¨Cwhite horizon. Her straight face showed a glint of cluelessness. After a while, she gently slumped down to sit. She picked up her phone on the bedside table and turned it on. She had slept for two days and two nights, but her phone did not show a message or a phone call. She chuckled a bit. It really felt like being isted from the world. ¡®This feeling is quite lovely,¡® Kisa thought. After thinking for a bit, she gave Jensen a call. Jensen quickly picked up the call. ¡°How is it?

As for Sharon, when Gilbert was hurt those few days, she was always at the Kooper residence taking care of Gilbert. Hence during mealtimes, she would also be by the dining table. With the additional people, the Kooper house was a little livelier. However, this type of liveliness was still less cheerful without the sound of children. Madalyn spoke to Gilbert,¡± Your injuries are almost healed. In two more days, go fetch Ada and Andrew back. I¡¯ve missed them so much recently.¡± Gilbert lightly nodded his head. Sharon took the opportunity to say,¡± That¡¯s right, always throwing the kids at that woman is not the solution too. Who knows if Kisa can take good care of the kids.¡± Once Sharon said this, Madalyn got anxious again. She couldn¡¯t wait to bring the kids right then. She was just about to call for the butler, George. Kelvin quickly chuckled, ¡°Let¡¯s wait two more days for Gilbert to recoverpletely. Then we let Gilbert fetch the kids. They might not be willing to return if we let George go there. I watched the two kids grow up, too; they are very stubborn.¡± ¡°Yes, Madam Kooper Sr. Kisa is attentive and takes good care of Ada and Andrew. If Ada and Andrew weren¡¯t livingfortably there or unhappy staying there, they would¡¯ve asked to return here earlier,¡± Gracie immediatelyughed while continuing the sentence. Sharon furrowed her brows andughed sarcastically,¡± How long have you and that woman known each other that you would know she was attentive? Heh, then you should tell me, from which part did you see her attentiveness?¡± Sharon¡¯s tone was slightly aggressive. Gracie¡¯s smile froze, and she hung her head without saying a word. Kelvin got angry and ced his cutlery down while huffing coldly at Sharon,¡± You should refrain from targeting my Gracie. If Gracie thinks Kisa is attentive, so what? However sloppy Kisa is, she would definitely be more attentive than you. You wouldn¡¯t have forgotten how you took care of Ada and Andrew five years ago, did you? Why would Andrew be sick every few days if it wasn¡¯t for ¡°You¡­¡± Sharon stuttered. ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Madalyn shouted in a low voice frustratingly. your carelessness?¡± She gave a nce at Gilbert but saw Gilbert eating his meal emotionlessly. He was oblivious to their conversation. She sighed softly and said, ¡± Then we will wait for Gilbert to healpletely, then Gilbert will fetch the kids home.¡± Kelvin huffed at Sharon in a cocky manner. Sharon got angered and gritted her teeth in silence. At that moment, Madalyn suddenly spoke to Gilbert, ¡°Gilbert, I have an old friend. Her granddaughter is the same age as you. She was always overseas before this. Recently, she came back. I just met her two days ago. The girl is not bad, courteous, and beautiful.¡± Hearing this, Sharon thought in her mind,¡® That¡¯s not good.¡¯ She gripped her cutlery tightly as rage filled her heart. This old hag wouldn¡¯t be introducing girls to Gilbert, is she? Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Sure enough, she heard Madalyn continue to speak to Gilbert,¡± You seem to have your injuries healed just about right. How about you meet the girl tomorrow?¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Gilbert replied without hesitation. Madalyn felt happy and said immediately. The girl is truly nice and doesn¡¯t mind that you have two kids. If the both of you see eye to eye, then try to mingle properly. If it seeds, you should get married by theing year.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Gilbert answered. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 494 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 494 Chapter 494 He Knows the Truth Gilbert drank his bowl of soup and replied softly. Madalyn was ecstatic beyondpare and quickly poured another bowl of soup for him. But Sharon grew restless and spoke to Madalyn, worried,¡± This doesn¡¯t seem appropriate. Gilbert was just hurt by that woman. Wouldn¡¯t it be a little too much of a hurry to introduce a girl to him immediately right now? Why don¡¯t we let Gilbert settle down before discussing it?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s inappropriate,¡± Kelvin suddenly chuckled, ¡± His type of condition requires a new rtionship to wash away the sorrow in his heart. If this new rtionship works out, I believe Gilbert will definitely cheer up very quickly. In the future, he would be more and more joyful.¡± ¡°Mm¡­,¡± Madalyn repeatedly nodded, ¡°What Kelvin said is reasonable, so Gilbert, you must meet up with the girl tomorrow. I will give you the time and venueter.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Regardless of what Madalyn was saying or even what anyone said, Gilbert would always answer with no expression, like a soulless puppet. Madalyn was so overly happy that she did not notice his unusual behavior. Kelvin, however, was worried sick. This was not a good sign. He shook his head and sighed,¡® I hope that Gilbert is only depressed for the moment¡­ Please don¡¯t ever truly let your heart die.¡± Sharon was still upset about the issue of Madalyn introducing a girl to Gilbert. Hence, when mealtime ended, she followed Madalyn to the backyard. Madalyn naturally knew what Sharon was thinking in her mind. She watered the flowers by herself while ignoring Sharon. In the end, Sharon couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Madam Kooper Sr., why are you so eager to introduce a partner for Gilbert?¡± ¡°Why? Don¡¯t you wish for Gilbert toe out of his sorrow as soon as possible?¡± Madalyn asked back. ¡°No, it¡¯s just¡­ it¡¯s just that why you want to introduce another woman to him?¡± Madalynughed in mockery,¡± Not introduce another woman to him? You wouldn¡¯t think I would let you live with Gilbert for the rest of his life?¡± ¡°I¡­ Why can¡¯t I?¡± Sharon asked. Madalyn sneered, ¡± I wouldn¡¯t dare let a murderer who wants to kill me be together with my precious grandson.¡± Sharon¡¯s expression changed drastically,¡± Madam Kooper Sr., you¡­ you must¡¯ve made a mistake. The one who wants to kill you has always been Kisa, no?¡± Madalyn chuckled lightly. She absently watered the flowers,¡± You really thought I wouldn¡¯t know the murderer who caused me to be in a vegetative state?¡± Sharon was sacred till her face was pale white. She smiled stiffly, ¡± Madam Kooper Sr., you¡­ you¡¯ve must¡¯ve made a mistake.¡± ¡°I¡¯m old, but I¡¯m not yet senile,¡± Madalyn turned around to face her, ¡± Back then, it was you who kicked me down the stairs.¡± Not far away, Gilbert stood stiffly by the corner. He pulled the corner of his lips in a fake smile. His eyes were filled with self¨Cmockery and sadness. After a while, he silently turned around and left. Sharon had already slumped to the ground, scared, ¡± You¡­ you¡­ since you already knew, why did you use Kisa of hurting when you woke up?¡± Madalyn¡¯s gaze sharpened, ¡°I have my own reasons, and they are irrelevant to you.¡± Sharon quickly kneeled before her, her voice trembling,¡± Madam Kooper Sr., I beg of you, I beg of you to not tell this incident to Gilbert. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose back then. I really didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± Madalyn sneered, ¡± As long as you stay well¨Cbehaved and don¡¯t be a nuisance, I naturally will not tell Gilbert about this incident.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯ll definitely behave,¡± Sharon nodded repeatedly. Madalyn asked again,¡± Then do you think my introducing a partner to Gilbert is correct?¡± ¡°Correct, what you suggested is correct,¡± Sharon answered. ¡°That¡¯s enough; you can stand up now. The weather is getting colder and colder. I will be heading back into the house to rest,¡± Madalyn finished speaking and nced at Sharon in disdain. Then only she entered back into the house. Sharon pulled at the grass on the ground, grief¨Cstricken. She had worked so hard to remove that wench, Kisa, but it wasn¡¯t done so another woman could take her sess from her. If the woman beside Gilbert could not be her, then no one can be the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO. She deviously squinted her eyes and suddenly pulled out her cell phone to call Kisa.N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 495 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 495 Chapter 495 Invite For A Meal Kisa had not stepped outside of the house for many days. These days, her phone had surprisingly not rung. Besides sleeping, she would eat for the whole day and be starting to be more and more unwilling to socialize with people. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. That night, Jensen brought the kids over. The kids were happy to see her, and Kisa showed a long- awaited smile. Jensen even bought a lot of cooking materials over. When the kids arrived, her mood was instantly better, and she carried the vegetables to the kitchen to be cooked. ke came in to assist her while Jensen was in the living room, telling Ada and Andrew a story. Kisa took out the ingredients she wanted to use first and left the others for ke to sort into the refrigerator. ke¡¯s movements were adept. From a nce, it was apparent he frequently did these chores for his family. Her gaze on ke grew softer and softer. Sometimes she was envious of Mia and Jensen for having such a well¨Cbehaved and mature son. ¡°Aunt Kisa, will Uncle Gilbert being over?¡± ke suddenly asked when he finished sorting the ingredients. Kisa paused for a bit and smiled stiffly,¡± He won¡¯t being over.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± ke replied, slightly disappointed, and hung his head while helping her choose the vegetables. Kisa pursed her lips and did not say anything again. At that moment, the phone that had not rung for a few days suddenly rang. Hearing that ringtone, Kisa still felt a little unfamiliar with it. The call sign showed that it was Sharon. She instinctively furrowed her brows and paused a bit before picking up the phone. ¡°Are you interested in having a meal tomorrow? Just you and me,¡± Sharon asked. 7 Kisa turned around and leaned on the basin. She lightly chuckled, ¡°You really don¡¯t give up. What scheme have youe up with this time to hurt me?¡± ¡°This time, I sincerely want to invite you for a meal. Besides, it will be in a public area. You wouldn¡¯t be afraid of me, would you?¡± Kisa sneered out loud, ¡°You think I would be afraid of you?¡± ¡°Thene over. Tomorrow at 11 in the morning. At Southcity Cafe.¡± Sharon, upon finishing what she said, hung up her phone. Kisa scrunched her eyebrows and thought, ¡®Sharon was perfectly fine and would never invite me to eat with her for no reason. I¡¯m afraid that woman is thinking of ways to plot against me again.¡® However, at this point Kisa was no longer scared of her at all. She put her phone to the side and continued to cook their meal. She did not make a big deal out of the phone call. While they were eating, Ada mentioned Gilbert. ¡°Finally, we get to see Aunt Kisa today. Ada is so happy. It would be great if daddy was here too,¡± Kisa¡¯s motion from eating paused slightly. She struggled with the issue deep within her heart, then spoke to Ada and Andrew, ¡°Both of you also have lived here for quite some time. Why don¡¯t we let your uncle send both of you home? I believe your great¨Cgrandmother really misses both of you,¡± As Kisa¡¯s voice ended, the two kids immediately had tears well up in their eyes. Just then, they were still in such a jolly state but were full of grievances now. Ada could not even eat his food. His childish voice sobbed, ¡°Aunt Kisa, I don¡¯t want to go back. I just want to stay with you.¡± Andrew said, ¡°I also don¡¯t want to go back. I want to stay together with daddy and Aunt Kisa.¡± ¡°But your daddy won¡¯t being here anymore in the future. Both of you ultimately will need to return to your daddy¡¯s side, isn¡¯t it?¡± Ada and Andrew immediately stopped talking. ke also felt upset with them. He quietly tugged at the edge of Jensen¡¯s shirt below the table. Jensen twitched his lips and smiled. He lifted his gaze and spoke to Kisa, ¡°Let¡¯s forget about it. If the Kooper family wants them to return home, they would naturally send someone to fetch them. If they never send someone over, then let them stay here. They can be buddies with ke.¡± Kisa did not agree yet did not disprove. She only dipped her head and ate her meal quietly. Ada and Andrew were still pouting their lips, unwilling to eat their food. Jensen swiftly smiled at them, ¡± Your Aunt Kisa has agreed to let both of you continue living here. Why don¡¯t you quickly eat your food?¡¯ Then only Ada and Andrew picked up their utensils to continue eating their food. Kisa nced at them; her heart was filled withplicated emotions. During the next day¡¯s morning, Kisa initially forgot Sharon had invited her to a meal. Only when Sharon gave her a call again, did she finally remember it.

Sharon¡¯s sarcasticugh sounded once the phone call was connected. ¡°You¡¯re such a coward. Are you scared to meet up for a meal in broad daylight?¡± Kisa looked at the time and realized there were still 15 minutes left before it turned 11 o¡¯clock. ¡®Seems like Sharon¡¯s really desperate to have me attend this meal.¡® Kisa smirked. ¡°It¡¯s not even time yet. Why are you in a rush?¡± ¡°I was just afraid you didn¡¯t have the guts to show up. ¡°Just wait and see. I have nothing else left but guts,¡± Kisa hung up the phone call with a sneer. ¡®I really want to see what game Sharon is ying.¡± The sun was shining bright outside today. Kisa wore light denim jeans and a loose designer sweater, looking casual and stylish at the same time Southcity Cafe was about a twenty¨Cminute drive from her ce. It was a high¨Cend restaurant as well as a cityndmark on the city¡¯s south side. The restaurant was only essible to members. Regr people would be unable to dine in because membership was limited, and only those with high social status could apply. Well, the story of Kisa¡¯s membership was quite ironic. Gilbert applied for membership for her some time ago in hopes that she would bring the children to dine there often. However, she had never used it before. ¡®If Sharon didn¡¯t set the meeting in this restaurant, I might have never used this membership in my life. The ambiance in the restaurant was graceful and peaceful. Kisa went up to the second floor ording to the table number given by Sharon. There were not many people dining on the second floor, so Kisa could see Sharon sitting by the window. Kisa walked over with a faint smile and sat facing Sharon. After taking off her hat, she asked Sharon with slight scorn, ¡°How rare is it for you to invite me for a meal without purpose?¡± Sharon put on a fake smile. ¡°We are sisters. Don¡¯t make me look like a scheming woman.¡± Kisa mockingly smirked. ¡°What do you want to eat? This one¡¯s on me. Let¡¯s not waste the membership Gilbert applied for me.¡± The smile on Sharon¡¯s face was gone. She gritted her teeth and snorted, ¡°Gilbert applied for a membership for you?!¡± ¡°Yeah, a diamond card,¡± Kisa looked meaningfully at Sharon¡¯s golden card. ¡°It seems to be prettier than that golden card of yours. Do you want the diamond card? I could give it to you.¡± Kisa smiled calmly. Sharon¡¯s face instantly darkened. She kept her golden card and sneered, ¡°Stop showing off, could you? It¡¯s just a card.¡± ¡°Why shouldn¡¯t I? I have the right. You were flexing a golden card. So why can¡¯t I show off my diamond card? Plus, Gilbert got it for me. Wouldn¡¯t it be a shame not showing it off to you?¡® Sharon was trembling in rage. She was so furious that she wanted to flip the table. But she gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger in concern that she was in public. ¡°Show off all you want. It¡¯s not for long. ¡± said Sharon with a sneer. ¡°Oh really, that¡¯s better than you, who have nothing to show off.¡± Kisa gave Sharon a half smile and called a waiter to take their order. Sharon could only conceal her fury. After Kisa finished ordering the food, Sharon said curtly, ¡°Do you know why I invited you here?¡± Kisa remained silent, casually ying with the flowers on the table. Sharon sniggered, ¡°Because Gilbert ising hereter.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 497 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 497 Chapter 497 Gilbert¡¯s Blind Date Kisa froze, but she did not show it out. ¡°Oh really, you invited him too?¡± Her heart felt a seizing pain thinking back of the man¡¯s sharp and merciless humiliation that day. She plucked off the flower petals and gently rubbed the petals between her fingers. ¡°I really shouldn¡¯t be here since you invited him. I shouldn¡¯t be interrupting you, right?¡± At that moment, Kisa really wanted to run away. She had no intentions of meeting Gilbert. She had no idea how she should face Gilbert. If she knew Sharon invited Gilbert, she would have never attended today. Sharon looked at Kisa and chuckled. ¡°You¡¯re wrong. You should be here. Or else, how will you see your ex- husband going on a blind date?¡± ¡®Blind date?¡¯ While wondering, a familiar figure suddenly walked over from the stairs. Kisa got tensed, and her fingers squeezed the petals in her hand. Her stunned gaze met with Gilbert¡¯s cold eyes, but as if he didn¡¯t see her, Gilbert looked away with not even the slightest difference of change. She felt the man had somewhat changed in a few days. ¡°I¡¯m here, Mr. Kooper,¡± A woman suddenly called Gilbert. Her voice was sweet, ethereal, and gentle. Kisa followed the voice and saw a beauty with a nice body shape standing and waving at Gilbert a few meters away. Kisa looked for a few seconds, then turned away from them and stared at the flowers on the table. Sharon snickered and whispered, ¡°Do you know who thatdy is?¡± Kisa remained silent. Sharon said, ¡°She¡¯s the blind date arranged by Mrs. Kooper Sr. What do you think?¡± ¡°That¡¯s nice,¡± Kisa smiled at her. ¡°They look good together.¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°Hah! Didn¡¯t you just brag about the diamond card applied by Gilbert? Look, he¡¯s now with a woman on a blind date. He doesn¡¯t care about you either.¡± Kisaughed, ¡°I never said that he cares for me.¡± Sharon snorted, ¡°Did you know who cared for Gilbert while he was hurt?¡± ¡°It must be you,¡± Kisaughed casually. ¡°I¡¯m just curious. Logically speaking, you poured your heart out for Gilbert. Shouldn¡¯t Mrs. Kooper Sr. match the two of you? Why would she introduce another woman to Gilbert? After all this while, Mrs. Kooper Sr. still won¡¯t give you a thought?¡± Kisa¡¯s words seem to cut Sharon to the quick. Sharon¡¯s face darkened with hate. She looked at Kisa with an icy stare andughed menacingly. ¡°It¡¯s boring with just the two of us eating. Should we ask them to join us? The more, the merrier, right?¡± Without waiting for Kisa¡¯s reply, Sharon rose to her feet and approached Gilbert¡¯s seat. Kisa fixed a cold gaze on Sharon¡¯s back and understood the purpose of this woman¡¯s invitation today. ¡®She wants to use me to deal with Gilbert¡¯s blind date.¡® ¡°Oh, hi, Gilbert. What a coincidence, you¡¯re here to eat too?¡± Emma Thompson nced at Sharon and asked Gilbert with a controlled smile, ¡°Mr. Kooper, may I ask who she is?¡± Sharon awkwardly replied before Gilbert said anything, ¡°It¡¯s me, Sharon Case, the international superstar. I¡¯m also an actress under GK Pictures.¡± Emma chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry. I just got back from overseas. I¡¯m not that familiar with showbiz.¡± ¡°Oh, is that so? No worries,¡± Sharon smiled, but she scorned her on the inside. ¡°Kisa and I are eating here too. Would you like to join us, Gilbert?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 498 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 498 Chapter 498 He Takes Good Care of His Ex-Wife Gilbert closed the menu and said calmly, ¡°There¡¯s no need for it. You guys go ahead.¡± Sharon smiled, ¡°Come on, Gilbert. We hardly meet each other. It¡¯ll be fun to have a meal together. Besides that, you could introduce this beautifuldy to us too.¡± Gilbert remained silent. Emma pressed her lips together shyly,¡± She¡¯s right. Why don¡¯t we join them?¡± ¡°Your wish,¡± Gilbert said these two words in a t tone. Emma could not figure him out and smiled at Sharon. ¡°Why don¡¯t you and your friend sit here? Mr. Kooper ordered a lot just now.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go call my friend,¡± Sharon said and dragged Kisa. Kisa was not bashful. She nodded and smiled at Emma, then took a seat. Emma sized her up and smiled ufortably, ¡°You¡¯re Kisa Becker?¡± The moment Emma mentioned Kisa¡¯s name, Sharon was filled with jealousy. ¡®Didn¡¯t she say she wasn¡¯t familiar with the local entertainment industry? Why would she know Kisa then?¡¯ thought Sharon. Kisa affirmed with a smile, ¡°Hi, I¡¯m Kisa Becker.¡± ¡°I realized that. You¡¯re very famous these days. You have taken over social media.¡± Sharon was green¨Ceyed, yet she forced a smile toward Emma. ¡°You must have no clue that Kisa is not only an artist but also Gilbert¡¯s ex¨Cwife.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard of it,¡± Emma slightly stiffened and studied Kisa. Sharon smirked and suddenly eximed, ¡°Kis?, didn¡¯t you say you¡¯ve never used the diamond card Gilbert applied for you? You could use itter, or else it¡¯ll go to waste.¡±N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Kisa felt like being put on the spot. She only wanted to irritate Sharon by mentioning the diamond card. ¡®If I knew Sharon was bringing up this in front of Gilbert, I would have never mentioned the card just now.¡® Kisa nced at Gilbert. Thankfully, the man remained indifferent, as if he did not hear what Sharon said. Emma let out an awkward smile, ¡°Oh really? It seems Mr. Kooper takes good care of his ex¨Cwife for old time¡¯s sake.¡± Gilbert kept silent till the end with no change in his expression, as though he was isted from them. Kisa stered a smile on her face. ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong. He applied for the card for the kids. I¡¯m just taking care of it. Mr. Kooper and I are divorced. There aren¡¯t any entanglements between us. Be reassured, please.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Emma was brightened up. Kisa nodded, ¡°It¡¯s true. You could ask him if you don¡¯t believe me.¡± Emma did not dare to ask Gilbert. Even if Gilbert was a divorcee with two children, he was still the man every woman desired and respected. Emma did not dare to ask such questions in their first meeting. Sharon got impatient looking at Kisa and Emma chatting. ¡°Gilbert, you haven¡¯t introduced her to us yet.¡± ¡°She¡¯s Emma Thompson,¡± Gilbert replied dryly, without further information. Sharon purposely let out a laugh and said, ¡°Oh, so she¡¯s the blind date arranged by Mrs. Kooper Sr. What are your thoughts about Ms. Thompson, Kisa?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 499 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 499 Chapter 499 Back to Its Rightful Owner N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Kisa jeered, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you ask Mr. Kooper? She is Mr. Kooper¡¯s blind date. Plus, isn¡¯t it disrespectful to ask me such a question in front of Ms. Thompson?¡± Sure enough, Emma¡¯s expression hardened. Sharon was not scared of offending people and snorted, ¡± Why is it disrespectful? Since she¡¯s Gilbert¡¯s blind date, you should give some opinions, right? You are Gilbert¡¯s ex¨Cwife, after all,¡± Sharon emphasized in the sentence. Emma¡¯s face took on a ghastly expression. Gilbert was like an outsider, with no words, no change of expression on his clean¨Ccut face. Sharon¡¯s aim today was undoubtedly to provoke a conflict between Kisa and Emma. Kisa sneered, ¡°So you invited me today to let me look at Gilbert¡¯s blind date? Honestly, I think Ms. Thompson¡¯s a nice lady. She¡¯s elegant and beautiful. They¡¯re like a pair made in heaven when they stood together.¡± Emma blushed from thepliments and smiled at Kisa.¡± You¡¯re ttering me.¡± Sharon turned red with fury. She never thought Kisa would have no interest or hatred toward Gilbert¡¯s blind date. ¡®Does Kisa really not care about Gilbert? No, there¡¯s no way. Back in the day, this woman told me herself that she would protect Gilbert with her life. In other words, she loves Gilbert with all her heart. How can such love be gone easily? But if she still cares about Gilbert, how can she still be all smiles and sweetness to Gilbert¡¯s blind date? She evenplimented her. Is she pretending?¡® Sharon snorted and mocked Kisa, ¡°You¡¯re giving your opinion, so it should be to the point. You don¡¯t have to please Ms. Thompson by saying those things. It¡¯s so fake.¡± Kisa cracked up, ¡°I said it from the bottom of my heart. Don¡¯t you think they look good together?¡± Emma red at Sharon coldly. Apparently, Emma was offended. Only now did Sharon realize she had gone too far. Sharon suppressed her grudge andughed, ¡°That¡¯s not my point. You were speaking so highly about Ms. Thompson. I just thought you were trying to please her.¡± ¡°Why should I? I said because I really thought that they looked good together.¡± At this moment, the waiter served their food. Now only did Gilbert sit up straight and say in a stolid manner, ¡°Are you going to eat or talk? Please go elsewhere if you decide to continue chatting.¡± Sharon pressed her lips together. She dared not to utter a word. Emma served Gilbert soup and stopped talking as well. Kisa felt that she would not be able to eat anything here. Staying back would only make her feel pressured and awkward. Therefore, she got up and said coolly, ¡°I¡¯m not hungry. I hope you enjoy the food. As for the card, I¡¯ll leave it here, back to its rightful owner.¡± Kisa put the diamond card on the table and walked toward the stairs. Just as she was at the staircase exit, Gilbert¡¯s deep, monotonous voice sounded, ¡°I have never taken back the things I gave away. If no one wants it, throw it away.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 500 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 500 Chapter 500 They Could Not Fake It Anymore ¡°Oh my, Gilbert. It would be such a waste to throw the card away. Kisa treasured it so much just now. Her heart will be broken if you throw it away now.¡± Kisa lowered her eyes with a hint ofughter and walked down the stairs. She felt she could finally breathe after she left the restaurant. ¡®Hah, I never expected Gilbert to go on a blind date. But that¡¯s nice too. At least he won¡¯t linger around me and pretend to be affectionate anymore. Maybe we¡¯ve shed all pretenses of cordialities from that day onwards. Neither of us can fake it any longer. After that, only hate and disgust are left between us.¡® The next day would be Saturday. At night, Kisa could not sleep. Jensen opened a bottle of wine and poured a ss for her. But Kisa shook her head when he handed the ss to her. ¡°Is this from Gilbert?¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Jensen found it amusing. ¡°You won¡¯t even drink the wine he gives now?¡± Kisa had kept all of Gilbert¡¯s clothes and daily necessities in the corner of the room he had once lived in. However, she forgot about that box of wine. Jensen saw the sorrow in her eyes and asked in a low voice, ¡°Are you still nervous about meeting Mr. Tanner tomorrow?¡± Kisa sighed softly, ¡°I have too many questions. On the one hand, I¡¯m afraid that I can¡¯t find the answer. On the other, I¡¯m afraid that I can¡¯t handle the truth.¡± Kisa looked at Jensen andughed at herself. ¡°Am I being contradicting?¡± Jensen shook his head.¡± Everyone will have these worries. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll meet him with you tomorrow.¡± Kisa leaned and looked outside the window with furrowed brows. Jensen finished the two sses of wine, patted Kisa¡¯s shoulder softly, and said, ¡°Don¡¯t overthink it. Go have some rest.¡± He gazed at Kisa¡¯s back deeply, turned around, and silently walked out of the room. After walking out of Kisa¡¯s room, Jensen leaned on the door and lit a cigarette instead of returning to his room. He inhaled deeply on his cigarette. In the cloud of smoke, he looked unsettled. ¡°You¡¯re my son. You have to take back what the Kooper family owed me! ¡°Did you forget how they treated you? While you were begging in a foreign country, Gilbert was still at the center of attention. He even stole the woman you love. Are you going to live with that?¡± Jensen looked down and smiled. ¡®What is my purpose in existing?¡± Suddenly, the phone rang. Jensen¡¯s brows slightly drew together when he looked at his phone. When the phone call was connected, a woman¡¯s drunken voice sounded. ¡°Could youe over tonight? It¡¯s been so long since yourst visit.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t make it tonight.¡± ¡°Why? Are you with that woman?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t drink too much. It¡¯s not good for your health.¡± ¡°Heh¡­ Heartless man. Stop acting like you care. If you really care for me,e over tonight.¡± ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. You should rest.¡± Jensen hung up the phone. On the other end of the line, Mia angrily threw her phone on the ground. ¡®Didn¡¯t everyone say he was a gentle heartthrob? But he has never shown me affection.¡® Kisa woke up early in the next morning. She made breakfast for the kids and sent them to school after they finished their breakfast. After she came back from school, she cleaned the whole house. The meeting with Mr. Tanner was scheduled for three o¡¯clock in the afternoon. It was hard to wait for the time to pass, so she made herself busy, hoping that time would pass faster. She did not have an appetite during lunch, so she only ate two mouthfuls of instant package noodles. When it was finally two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, she changed her clothes and put on her makeup. Only then she went to find Jensen. Just as she opened the door, she saw Jensening out of the house. Jensen¡¯s brows knitted with anxiety. Kisa¡¯s heart sank¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 501 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 501 Chapter 501 | Alone Have Two Roles ¡®Did something bad happen?

Jensen spoke before Kisa had a chance to inquire, ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t think I can apany you to see Mr. Tanner.¡± Kisa was startled. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Mia got into a car ident.¡± Kisa froze before asking hurriedly, ¡°How¡¯d that happen? Is it serious? Is she hurt?¡± Jensen shook his head, ¡°The hospital called me. I don¡¯t know the specifics yet, so I¡¯ll need to head over to the hospital.¡± ¡°Alright, you go ahead then. Please keep me in the loop about Ms. Fallon¡¯s condition.¡± Jensen nodded and said, ¡°Mr. Tanner is really nice; you can ask him anything. You don¡¯t have to be scared.¡± ¡°Mhm, hurry to the hospital now.¡± Kisa felt anxious as she watched Jensen leave. ¡®How did Mia get into a car ident out of nowhere? I hope she¡¯s alright,¡® thought Kisa. Kisa and Mr. Tanner agreed to meet at a bistro. It was only half past two when Kisa arrived at the ce. She was not sure if Mr. Tanner was already there. She went to the venue they had booked¨Ca private room on the second floor. As expected, Mr. Tanner had yet to arrive. There was not a single person in the room. Even though Jensen had given Kisa Mr. Tanner¡¯s contact information, it felt inappropriate for her to ask Mr. Tanner where he was at the moment. She paced around the entrance of the private room. Momentster, she went in and sat down to wait. The private room was huge. It did not look like Kisa and Jensen were Mr. Tanner¡¯s only guests. Kisa frowned and thought, ¡®It¡¯ll be hard to ask Mr. Tanner about such personal affairs if there are too many peopleter.¡® Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind the door. Kisa panicked and hurriedly stood up. She initially intended to politely greet the person who wasing in. However, the moment she saw the people who entered the room, she felt her words get stuck in her throat. No matter how hard she tried, she could not manage to speak. Kisa was frozen to her spot. She stared dumbfoundedly at the three persons who had entered. The three were no other than Gilbert, Davian, and Sharon. Gilbert nced at Kisa¡¯s face briefly. His gaze was cold as if he did not know Kisa. Meanwhile, Davian was so surprised to see her that he went, ¡°Eh?¡°. Sharon also had a look of shock. However, her shocked expression brimmed with contempt and disdain. ¡°Oh? Kisa, what¡¯re you doing here?¡± Kisa suppressed the mixture of emotions she was feeling and slowly sat down. She did not answer Sharon. Sharon twitched her lips and sneered condescendingly, ¡°Did youe to the wrong ce, Kisa? We¡¯re here to discuss a contract. It¡¯s inappropriate for someone unrted like you to be here.¡± Kisa leaned into the chair before turning to Sharon with a smile, ¡°How¡¯d you know if I¡¯m not here to discuss the contract?¡± ¡®Since Mr. Tanner had invited Gilbert and Sharon, our meal today must mean business. And since Mr. Tanner had invited Gilbert and me, this means that said business has something to do with the both of us,¡¯ thought Kisa. Davian nced back and forth between the two. Then he turned to Kisa curiously, ¡°Madam eh? No¨CMs¡­ Ms. Becker, were you also invited by Mr. Tanner?¡± ¨C Kisa nodded coolly. ¡°Then why¡¯d you show up alone? Did somethinge up for Jensen, so he had to leave ahead of time?¡± Davian asked again. Kisa looked at him sternly, ¡°I¡¯m the CEO of J & K Film Group and also an actor under thepany; I alone have two roles. Is there a problem with meing here alone?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 502 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 502 Chapter 502 No Longer Finds You Interesting Davian scratched his head awkwardly. ¡®Since when did the Madam be this sharp¨Ctongued? If I¡¯d known earlier, I would¡¯ve kept my mouth shut,¡® he thought. Meanwhile, Sharon took this as an opportunity to mock Kisa. She sneered, ¡°Aren¡¯t you and Jensen joined at the hip? Why didn¡¯t he attend such an important luncheon with you? Was he fine with youing alone?¡± Kisa could not help but think of Mia when she heard Sharon¡¯s words. ¡®Jensen hasn¡¯t called me yet. I wonder how Mia is,¡® thought Kisa. Seeing how Kisa had a look of worry and tightly scrunched brows, Sharon felt smug. She continued sneering at Kisa, ¡°Do you see how much of a wreck you look like right now? Don¡¯t tell me Jensen¡¯s with another woman right now. Tsk. It¡¯s so pitiful that he dumped you here all by yourself. And I actually thought Jensen was so in love with you; it turns out that wasn¡¯t the case after all.¡± Kisa lowered her gaze and let Sharon continue mocking her. However, Kisa¡¯s silence only led to Sharon mocking her even harder. ¡°Let¡¯s see, you and Jensen have been together for a couple of months now. Tsk. He must be tired of you and no longer finds you interesting. I pity you; Jensen no longer has your back. I¡¯ll wait and see how much longer you can remain popr and how far J & K Film Group can go.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Just as Sharon finished speaking, Gilbert¨Cwho had been silent all the while¨Cpromptly said in a cold tone. Sharon was not happy. She tugged Gilbert¡¯s arm, ¡°Gilbert, why are you still defending this woman at this point? Don¡¯t forget that you almost died because of her twice. What¡¯s more, the injury on your chest hasn¡¯t even fully recovered. Did you forget all about the pain?¡± Gilbert retracted his arm coolly. He stared at Sharon with a straight face. Then, he said in a calm voice that was excruciatingly suffocating. ¡°You¡¯ve been bbering a lottely. You better keep your mouth shut when Mr. Tanner gets hereter. If Mr. Tanner hadn¡¯t requested you, I would never have used you again this time.¡± Kisa was startled. ¡®Mr. Tanner had requested Sharon? Sharon¡¯s reputation has been badtely. Even the drama she¡¯s starring in -Goddess of My Adoration¨Chas gained a bad reputation. Why would Mr. Tanner ask for Sharon when she¡¯s someone who has a bad reputation from head to toe? However, the situation can be viewed from a different perspective. Sharon is still popr even though she has a bad reputation right now; there are many stories about her on entertainment news portals. As the saying goes, any publicity is good publicity,¡® thought Kisa. After Gilbert had warned Sharon, she stopped bbering. Davian snorted beside her, ¡°You ruined yourself with your mouth. This time around, Mr. Tanner is trying to make you famous, so you better seize this opportunity.¡± Sharon gritted her teeth and red at him. However, she did not dare to retort. At three o¡¯clock sharp, sounds of footsteps came behind the door. Judging from the noisy footsteps outside, Kisa had a feeling that there were several people outside. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Right after she had the thought, four middle¨Caged men walked in. It was just as she thought. The four men were around the same age. They donned suits and ties and looked like good people. One of the men had an aura that stood out from the rest. However, it was not because he was particrly good¨Clooking but his exceptionally piercing gaze. He was like a goshawk soaring in the sky, constantly hunting for its prey. Gilbert slowly stood up. Seeing this, Kisa hurriedly followed suit. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 503 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 503 Chapter 503 A Woman I Almost Forgot About ¡°Haha! Sorry for making you all wait.¡± The man with an outstanding aura said to Kisa and Gilbert with a smile. Gilbert responded coolly, ¡°No worries. We just arrived too.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good. Have a seat. The man said to Gilbert and Kisa. Kisa observed the four men in silence. She could not figure out which one of them was Mr. Tanner. ¡®I didn¡¯t expect Mr. Tanner to invite that many people. Otherwise, I would¡¯ve looked at his photos before the luncheon. Then, I wouldn¡¯t feel as lost right now,¡¯ thought Kisa. After everyone sat down, the man introduced the three men beside him to Kisa and Gilbert with a smile. ¡°Mr. Kooper, Ms. Becker, these are my business partners: Mr. Park, Mr. Webb, and Mr. Gates. They¡¯ll also be investing in the drama we n to shoot.¡± After hearing the man¡¯s introduction, Kisa was certain that he was Adrien Tanner, also known as Mr. Tanner. However, Jensen had always been the one to discuss their business affairs with Adrien. That was why Kisa felt really lost when Adrien started talking about the uing drama they nned to film. She had no clue what was happening. Kisa could only remain silent for fear of saying the wrong thing. Soon after everyone arrived, the waiters brought their food to the table. Gilbert raised his wine ss and smiled at Adrien, ¡°Mr. Tanner, to our first meeting. Cheers! Adrien looked like he was in his fifties, so he was more senior than Gilbert in terms of age. ¡®It¡¯s no wonder Gilbert is being so polite and respectful toward Adrien. However, it¡¯s shocking to know that it¡¯s also Gilbert¡¯s first¨Ctime meeting Adrien,¡® thought Kisa. Adrien smiled and raised his ss, ¡°I¡¯ve heard a lot about the CEO, Mr. Kooper. After seeing you in person today, I have to say, you¡¯re definitely a rare young talent.¡± ¡°You tter me, Mr. Tanner,¡± Gilbert smiled politely. Just as Gilbert was about to drink from his wine ss, Davian stopped him in panic. Davian said to Adrien apologetically, ¡°My apologies. Mr. Kooper got injured a couple of days ago and has yet to recover. As his assistant, I¡¯ll down this ss in his stead.¡± Adrien smiled, ¡°Sure. His health is more important.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Mr. Gates suddenly gasped. He asked in astonishment, ¡°Mr. Kooper, you¡¯re a man with great power¨Cyou¡¯re a magnate. Who could hurt you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s no other than that ungrateful woman, ¡± Sharon responded without missing a beat. Gilbert threw her an icy nce. Sharon tensed up in fear and did not dare to utter another word. Regardless, what is done is done; Sharon¡¯s statement had piqued the men¡¯s interests, particrly Mr. Gates. Mr. Gates asked curiously, ¡°Mr. Kooper, you could get any woman with your qualities. What kind of woman would act this ungrateful and hurt you?¡± Mr. Park and Mr. Webb nodded curiously. ¡°Yeah. We¡¯d really like to meet that woman.¡± Adrien swirled his wine ss and smiled lightly. His dark gaze was seemingly gazing at Kisa. Meanwhile, Kisa lowered her gaze and remained silent to minimize her presence as much as possible. Gilbert did not get angry with the few men pressing for answers. He kept a nonchnt expression. He smiled lightly at the men, ¡°She¡¯s a woman I almost forgot about, so she¡¯s not worth mentioning.¡± ¡°Almost forgot about?¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°Uh¡­¡± # Seeing how the few men were about to ask more questions, Davian tried to change the subject. He quickly raised his ss and smiled at them, ¡°I¡¯d like to raise a toast to Mr. Park, Mr. Webb, and Mr. Gates.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 504 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 504 Chapter 504 I Won¡¯t Remarry For The Rest Of My Life It was obvious Davian was trying to change the topic, so the three men did not continue to press on further. Meanwhile, Kisa kept her gaze down and was in deep thought. She kept a calm and unchanging expression as if the woman Gilbert said he almost forgot about was not her. Then, Mr. Webb noticed her. ¡°You¡¯re¡­ Ms. Becker from J & K Film Group, right?¡± he said as he raised his ss at her. Kisa hurriedly lifted her ss to meet his, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Kisa Becker.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard of you, Ms. Becker. You¡¯ve achieved so much at such a young age; you¡¯re living proof that women are as good as men.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Mr. Webb.¡± Seeing how Mr. Webb had downed his entire ss, Kisa had no choice but to also down her ss, which was seven¨Ctenth full, out of courtesy. The waiter filled her ss up again in no time. Suddenly, Mr. Gates furrowed his brows and asked, ¡°Oh? I remember you being Mr. Kooper¡¯s ex¨Cwife.¡± Kisa smiled coolly and nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The title ¡°Mr. Kooper¡¯s ex¨Cwife¡± had seemed to be another title of hers. However, the word ¡°ex¨Cwife¡± promptly reminded Kisa that she and Gilbert had not finished going through the procedure for divorce. That means she and Gilbert were not officially divorced at all. ¡®Nowadays, this man is acting like he wants nothing to do with me, so I don¡¯t know what he thinks of our divorce. As long as he doesn¡¯t bring it up, I won¡¯t be bothered to do so either. I won¡¯t remarry for the rest of my life; that¡¯s why the divorce or not doesn¡¯t matter to me,¡® thought Kisa. Suddenly, Mr. Gates asked, ¡°Then, do you know who the ungrateful woman who injured Mr. Kooper is?¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Kisa pursed her lips and smiled nonchntly, ¡°I don¡¯t.¡± Sharon, who was sitting beside her, had a scornful look. She was so furious that she was about to speak. However, Davian threw her a re. Mr. Gates was disappointed, ¡°So you don¡¯t know either.¡± Kisa smiled politely and did not speak. Just then, Mr. Park raised his ss at her, ¡°Ms. Becker, I¡¯d also like to make a toast to hope we¡¯ll have a pleasant cooperation.¡± you: I Kisa had no idea how Jensen usually spoke to them, so she smiled and nodded, ¡°Me too.¡± Then, she downed the entire ss once more. After having three rounds, they started talking business. Adrien smiled at Ktsa, ¡°I¡¯ve seen The Legend of Luna. You give off a one¨Cof¨Ca¨Ckind aura; it¡¯s down¨Cto¨C earth and resilient, so I think you¡¯re a good fit for the uing drama¡¯s female lead.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Tanner.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve talked to your manager, Jensen, about this drama before. He¡¯s seen the and thinks it¡¯s good, so he agreed to let you y the female lead in this drama. Has he mentioned it to you before?¡± Kisa nodded, ¡°He¡¯s briefly mentioned it to me. He was supposed to apany me today to discuss what would happen next. However, something came up for him so he couldn¡¯t make it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright; we can continue from where we left off.¡± After Sharon heard about Kisa acting as the drama¡¯s female lead, she could no longer sit still. She smiled at Adrien in an attempt to butter him up, ¡°Mr. Tanner, if she¡¯s going to be the female lead of the drama, then how about me? Didn¡¯t you explicitly ask for me?¡± Adrien nced at her and smiled warmly, ¡°You¡¯re a good fit for the gorgeous second female lead.¡± ¡°What? You¡¯re asking me to be the second female lead, a background role toplement her?¡± Sharon instantly pointed at Kisa and yelled defiantly. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 505 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 505 Chapter 505 Merely His ymate, Not His Lover Adrien did not get angry at Sharon¡¯s reaction. He merely smiled coolly, ¡°The topic about you and Ms. Becker has been all the rage. If the two of you could work on this drama together, it¡¯ll be widely discussed, and its poprity will be off the charts.¡± ¡°But why¡¯s she the female lead while I¡¯m the second female lead? I¡¯m an international superstar, so I¡¯m at a level much higher than her. What were you all thinking when you made such arrangements?¡± Sharon had probably never yed as a second female lead before. ¡®The second female lead is something people like Arie long for, but Sharon is acting as if it¡¯s a form of humiliation,¡® thought Kisa. Mr. Park and Mr. Webb looked a little unhappy. However, Adrien kept his calm and gentle smile. He stared at Sharon, ¡°It¡¯s because you¡¯re fit to be the second female lead.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t do it if I¡¯m the second female lead. I won¡¯t do it at all.¡± Sharon said arrogantly. Then, she turned to Gilbert with a wronged expression. Meanwhile, Gilbert leaned on the chair and smiled slightly. He did not speak. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. After seeing Sharon¡¯s attitude, Mr. Webb instantly snorted contemptuously, ¡°Mr. Tanner was the one who wanted to give you this opportunity. Did you really think that we wanted to cast you? If you don¡¯t want it, so be it. Nobody cares.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Do you see how awful your reputation is? Yet you¡¯re acting so proud!¡± ¡°You!¡± Sharon snarled. She shook Gilbert¡¯s arm, ¡°Gilbert, they¡¯re asking me to y as the second female lead. But I¡¯m an international superstar! The viewers wouldugh at me if I became Kisa¡¯s supporting actor. Besides, this would also affect GK Pictures¡¯s reputation. Gilbert? Say something.¡± Finally, Gilbert slowly sat up straight, He turned to Sharon, ¡°You must still be in denial. Right now, you have a terrible reputation and are not popr. Do you really think you¡¯re still the international superstar you used to be?¡± Sharon paled, ¡°Gilbert, you¡­ What do you mean?¡± ¡°If Mr. Tanner hadn¡¯t asked for you specifically, I wouldn¡¯t have brought you here in the first ce.¡± Gilbert¡¯s words were like a big p in Sharon¡¯s face; he did not sugar¨Ccoat his words for her. Meanwhile, Mr. Park and the rest smiled at her disdainfully. Gilbert responded coolly, ¡°Since Mr. Tanner has given you this opportunity, it shows that he sees potential in you. If you think you¡¯re too good for it, I can get someone else to be the drama¡¯s second female lead instead. As for you, it¡¯s not possible for you to be popr again in your current lifetime. GK Pictures won¡¯t be wasting any more resources on you.¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­ I heard that Ms. Case and Mr. Kooper were childhood ymates. It seems like you¡¯re not one who¡¯s foolish enough to get hung up on nostalgia.¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense. If Mr. Kooper was always hung up on nostalgia, would GK Pictures be this great and sessful?¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, you¡¯re right. Moreover, Ms. Becker here is also merely his ymate, not his lover,¡± Mr. Park and everyone else joked with a smile. Sharon¡¯s face turned red with rage. She had never imagined Gilbert would embarrass her in front of everyone here. She could genuinely feel that Gilbert hadpletely changed after he had gotten injured this time. He was now even more cruel and heartless. ¡°Ms. Case, even Mr. Kooper has spoken. So what do you think? Will you ept the role of the second female lead or not?¡± Mr. Gates peered at Sharon with a calm and collected expression. Sharon tightened her fists by her sides as her face reddened to a crimson shade. Mr. Webb let out a silentugh, ¡°Ms. Case must¡¯ve gotten used to being an international superstar, so the second female lead role is not good enough for her. Mr. Tanner, why don¡¯t we get someone else to be the second female lead?¡± Adrien took a sip of wine and turned to Sharon sharply, ¡°Think it through; you only have one chance!¡± Sharon gritted her teeth. She felt defiant, yet she did not dare to t¨Cout reject the offer. Meanwhile, Kisa remained silent as she watched drama happen in front of her. Since she had not eaten much today, the few sses of wine that she took were making her stomach hurt. She quietly ate some of the food while everyone was focused on Sharon. ¡®After I have some food, I won¡¯t feel that awful when I drinkter,¡® thought Kisa. When Mr. Webb noticed Kisa eating, he hurriedly smiled and asked, ¡°Are you hungry, Ms. Becker?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 506 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 506 Chapter 506 Treating Her as a Complete Stranger The moment Mr. Webb asked Kisa that question, everyone looked at her. Of course, except for Gilbert. ¡®Since that day, Gilbert has been treating me as aplete stranger,¡® Kisa sneered inwardly. ¡®Even so, the enmity between the two of us will be settled one by one when the timees.¡® Kisa slowly put down her cutlery and smiled at Mr. Webb. ¡°My apologies. I was too busy in the afternoon and had no chance to eat. Sorry about that.¡± ¡°Ah, you young people always forget to take care of yourself. You¡¯lle to regret it when you get older. Do eat on time and sleep early.¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°Thank you for your concern, Mr. Webb.¡± These few middle¨Caged men were very different from other wealthy businessmen around them. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. They were not only decent people. Even the way they spoke sounded like a genial elder, making one feel warm and rxed when hearing them talk. Sharon was already aggrieved, and when she saw those people being concerned about Kisa, a surge of jealousy roused within her. She then mockingly said, ¡°You didn¡¯t because you were busy. It¡¯s because your appetite has been ruined ever since Gilbert ignored you.¡± Kisa really could not understand what Sharon was thinking. ¡®She really would use anything and everything to mock me. Why won¡¯t she think that mocking me at this ce will only bring shame to her.¡® Kisa looked down before smiling as she asked, ¡°I¡¯m curious. Why don¡¯t you take up the role of a writer instead of an actress with that rich imagination of yours.¡± ¡°You!¡± ¡°You still haven¡¯t answered Mr. Tanner¡¯s question. Are you going to ept the role of the second female lead or not?¡± Kisa purposely smiled at her to piss her off. Sure enough, the moment ¡°the second female lead¡± was mentioned, Sharon¡¯s face darkened. Kisa continued to smile, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to ept it, let Mr. Tanner know so he can look for another person to fill the role and not waste everyone¡¯s time.¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s not like we need you for that role.¡± ¡°Yeah, a more enchanting, high¨Css woman would be a far better fit for the role than you,¡± said Mr. Park and Mr. Gates. At this moment, Mr. Webb turned to Adrien and said, ¡°Mr. Tanner, since there¡¯s still time before the start of the filming, we can look for another person for the second female lead if pushes to shove.¡± Sharon panicked when she heard that. Yet, she could not bring to lower herself to say that she wanted the role. She hurriedly looked at Gilbert, hoping he would help secure this role for her. Yet, Gilbert only leaned backzily on the chair and did not show any intentions of speaking. She anxiously grabbed her skirt. She then saw Adrien sigh a little as thetter wanted to say something. She hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯ll¡­I¡¯ll ept the role of the second female lead.¡± ¡°Hah, and I thought a superstar like you would not deign to take the second female lead role.¡± Mr. Webb chuckled. Sharon was so mad she gritted her teeth, but she pretended not to care as she said, ¡°I¡¯m free during that time anyway. I can take that role for some fun. Also, wasn¡¯t Mr. Tanner the one interested in me taking the role at first? I can¡¯t be doing him wrong, right?¡± Kisa then smiled and teased Sharon, ¡°Wow, it seems like we are asking a lot of you for this role.¡± ¡°Ah, well, Mr. Tanner is interested in me after all.¡± ¡°If it is too much to ask of you, forget it then. We can find someone else.¡± Mr. Park suddenly said to Sharon in a serious tone. Sharon suddenly choked on her words. ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 507 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 507 Chapter 507 It Doesn¡¯t Look Like It¡¯s Written by a Woman ¡°Yeah, we would never force anyone to do anything against their will.¡± Mr. Gates followed up. Sharon¡¯s face reddened as she tried to suppress her rage. Her smile was more unsightly than her crying face. ¡°No, no, not at all, not at all.¡± At this moment, her pride and arrogance as an international superstar were shattered. And the reason for all these humiliations she had suffered was because of Kisa. Sharon turned her gaze toward Kisa with menace. It was as if she wanted to rip thetter to shreds. Kisa ignored her menacing gaze and raised her ss to Adrien. ¡°Thank you for allowing me to take the role of the female lead. Cheers.¡± Adrien smiled as he raised his ss in return. He was like an elder as he smiled warmly at her. ¡°I¡¯ve already spoken about the details of this show with Jensen. Whates next is the signing of the contract. If both of you and Mr. Kooper have no issues regarding that, we can proceed to sign the contract in a moment.¡± Kisa smiled and nodded, ¡°No issues on my end.¡± Adrien then looked at Gilbert. ¡°No issues on my end either,¡± Gilbert softly said. ¡°Good, let¡¯s sign the agreement then.¡± Adrien said and motioned for Mr. Webb to distribute the contracts. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Gilbert deftly signed his name onto the signature line. Mr. Park quipped in surprise, ¡°I thought that Mr. Kooper here would not have agreed to this. After all, this is asking the top talent in GK Pictures to y a second female lead. No matter how you cut it, it is a smudge on GK¡¯s good name.¡± ¡°Yeah, I thought he would¡¯ve demanded something at the very least. It seems like Mr. Gilbert is actually much more reasonable than the rumors have it.¡± Gilbert smiled slightly but did not speak. He only put the cap back onto the pen and motioned for Davian to hand the signed contract to Adrien. Davian pursed his lips. He felt that the reason Gilbert would agree to this cooperation and let Sharon take the role of the second female lead was that he found out that Kisa was ying the main female lead. When he brought the matter up to Gilbert a few days ago, thetter rejected it without even thinking about it. It was only when he identally said that Kisa might be ying the heroine in the show that Gilbert said he would think about it. Therefore, Gilbert must have lowered himself to agree to this coboration because of Kisa, Davian he dared not ask. Kisa was still going through the contract carefully. Mr. Webb could not help butugh. ¡°Ms. Becker, you are so cautious. Just look at Mr. Kooper. He just signed the contract without even looking at it.¡± Kisa looked up and smiled, ¡°My apologies. The discussion for this coboration was previously done by my manager, so I don¡¯t know a lot of the details. That¡¯s why I want to read through the contract terms.¡± Mr. Webb was about to say something when Adrien interjected, ¡°No matter, signing a contract is a serious matter. You ought to go through it thoroughly.¡± Kisa smiled and liked Mr. Tanner more and more. With this simple banter between them right now, she would not be so nervous when she got the opportunity to speak to him one¨Con¨Cone. Kisa went through the more important parts of the contract, and once she was certain there were no problems, she signed her name onto the document. She got her handwriting from her mother, whose handwriting was beautiful. Her signature was neat yet vigorous and did not look like it was written by a woman. When Adrien saw her signature, he was stunned for a moment. It was only when Mr. Webb¡¯s voice rang out beside him that he snapped back to his senses. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 508 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 508 Chapter 508 | Saved You Back Then ¡°Woah, I didn¡¯t think that Ms. Becker your handwriting to be that pretty. Yours looks pretty good beside Mr. Webb¡¯s own writing.¡± Mr. Park asked curiously, ¡°Ms. Becker, have you taken calligraphy sses before?¡± Kisa shook her head and smiled, ¡°I follow my mom¡¯s handwriting. Her handwriting is even better than mine.¡± Adrien looked at her handwriting, and an inexplicable trace of emotion appeared in his aged eyes. Gilbert looked silently at the man, feeling that the person¡¯s gaze looked a little familiar.¡® This Adrien Tanner is unlike others. If I¡¯ve met him before, I will definitely have an impression of him.¡® But no matter how Gilbert tried to recall, he could not remember if he had actually met Adrien before. Nevertheless, the more he looked at those eyes, the more familiar he felt. Seemingly noticing Gilbert¡¯s gaze, Adrien put Kisa¡¯s signed contract away and smiled. ¡± With that, the coboration is a go. May our coboration be fruitful.¡± As he said that, Adrien raised his ss to everyone else. Gilbert originally wanted to raise a ss as well, but Davian shoved a ss of water into his hand instead. When Kisa saw that, she could not help but smirk a little. After the contract signing, everyone drank a little more before parting ways. Seeing that Adrien and the others were about to leave, Kisa hurriedly stopped him. The purpose of hering here was to inquire about the events back then, and she could not rx until she had gotten to the bottom of it, no matter what. ¡°Mr. Tanner, are you¡­ busy after this?¡± Adrien smiled. ¡°No, I¡¯m not.¡± Kisa clenched her fist as she said, ¡°I still have some questions to ask you regarding this coboration. Could you stay back for a bit and answer a few questions?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Adrien said with a warm smile. As he said that, he bade the other three to leave first. Mr. Webb and the others did not say much and left after bidding both her and Gilbert farewell. The moment they left, only Kisa, Adrien, Gilbert, and the others were left in the room. Sharon sat on her seat with a contemptuous look on her face. But as Adrien was here, she dared not say anything. Davian gave Kisa an awkward smile as he asked, ¡°Are there any problems with the coboration? Does it have anything to do with GK?¡± ¡°No, there¡¯s nothing to do with you lot. You may leave,¡± Kisa replied indifferently. Davian grumbled with it. ¡®Ma¡¯am is getting more and more heartless.¡® Sharon spat, ¡°Why? Can we not listen to what you¡¯ve to say to Mr. Tanner? What right do you have to ask us to leave? We¡¯re not leaving.¡±N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Just as she said that Gilbert got up and walked outside. Davian immediately followed behind and did not forget to so spit venom at Sharon, whose eyes were bulging out, ¡°If you want to stay here, be our guest. Both Mr. Gilbert and I will go back first.¡± Sharon was so furious she gnashed her teeth. She red at Kisa before hurriedly chasing after Gilbert. Finally, only Adrien and Kisa were left in the room. Adrien sat back in his seat and looked at her gently, ¡°Just ask whatever question you have.¡± Kisa¡¯s fingers bit into her palm as she looked at him. ¡°I don¡¯t know what Jensen told you about the fire in prison five years ago, but he told me that you were the one who rescued me from the inferno.¡± Adrien was not surprised at all when he heard Kisa asking about that fire five years ago, as if he had guessed that this was the reason she held him back. Adrien leaned back against the chair and smiled at her. ¡°Yes. I was the one who saved you back then.¡± ¡°Why? The fire was big back then. Why did you risk your life to save me?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 509 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 509 Chapter 509 There Must Be Some Misunderstanding ¡°It¡¯s because of your mother.¡± Kisa shuddered. Her voice trembled a little. ¡°My mother? You know my mother?¡± Adrien nodded, ¡°I not only knew your mother. I was also a very close friend as well.¡± ¡°Really? But¡­ as far as I can remember, mom doesn¡¯t seem to have any friends. Until her death, she had only mentioned a single person¡¯s name.¡± Adrien¡¯s hands on his knees trembled slightly. He did not ask who the person¡¯s name was, but instead, he took out his wallet. Kisa looked at him nkly, not knowing what he was doing. She only saw him opening his wallet and pulling a small photo out of it. The small photo was very worn as if someone had been rubbing against it to reminiscence something. He handed the photo over to Kisa. ¡°Have a look at this.¡± Kisa took the small photo with some suspicion, only to immediately recognize her mother in it. It was a photo of her mother with another man. That man was not Adrien, and she had never seen him before. She raised her hand and gently caressed her mother¡¯s smiling image. Kisa¡¯s mother in the photo was not much different than how Kisa remembered her to be. There was the familiar gentleness between her eyes. When Kisa saw that, her heart tightened, and she felt weepy. ¡°The person in the photo¡­ is David Kooper.¡± ¡°What?¡± Kisa looked up at Adrien in shock. ¡°He¡¯s David Kooper?¡± Adrien smiled. ¡°Hmm? You know him as well?¡± Kisa hurriedly shook her head. ¡°No, I don¡¯t. I have never met him before. But he is Gilbert¡¯s uncle, so I¡¯ve heard about him before.¡± She did not mention her mother¡¯s diary. After all, she was still not familiar with Adrien, and she dared not tell everything about her to him. ¡°Ah, is that so?¡± Adrien let out a somewhat strange smile. Kisa looked at him in surprise. ¡°Why do you have this picture? You¡¯re¡­¡± ¡°Good friends.¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Adrien took out a cigarette, and just as he was about to light it up, he thought of something and asked her, ¡°May I?¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°Go ahead.¡± Adrien lit the cigarette and took a deep puff as he smiled and said, ¡°David and I were best buddies, and I knew your mother through him. After that, we became good friends that would talk about everything.¡± ¡°I witnessed the love between David and your mother, and I thought that they would be together in the end. s, their love was buried by Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s own hands.¡± ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr.? What¡­ What did she do?¡± Kisa remembered that Madalyn had once imed herself to be the biggest driving force to match both David and Kisa¡¯s mother together. ¡®But why did Adrien say that their love was buried by Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s own hands? What¡¯s going on?¡® She had more and more questions. Kisa looked at the middle¨Caged man whose eyes were still as sharp as ever. Adrien took a few puffs before saying, ¡°Back then, both David and your mother fell in love, and David even told me that he was finally going to marry the love of his life. Yet, before he could propose to your mother, he was sent by Mrs. Kooper Sr. overseas and lost contact with your mother. ¡°By the time he found a way to get in touch with her, your mother had already married someone else.¡± When Adrien said that, a slight look of sadness and indignation appeared on his face. No one knew if he was feeling angry for David. ¡®But there must be some misunderstanding. Mom did not marry Christopher Case willingly. I must rify that with David.¡¯ Kisa looked up at the man sitting opposite her and asked, ¡± Where is David Kooper now?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 510 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 510 Chapter 510 Some Said He Was Dead Adrien shook his head and said, ¡°David disappearedter. More precisely, he disappeared after he found your mom married someone else. No one knows where he went. Some said he was dead, while others said he holed up in ces where people didn¡¯t know him. Even Jensen didn¡¯t know where his dad was.¡± Kisa pursed her lips. ¡®Indeed, Jensen seldom mentioned his dad. He must have lost contact with his dad after his dad was sent abroad.¡® ¡°I just left Calthon because of my family¡¯s business after David was sent abroad. Things changed when I came back a few yearster. I pay some attention to you because you are the daughter of an old friend, and I have been watching you all the time since I knew you were in prison. ¡°That day was a coincidence. I had dinner with my friends on New Year¡¯s Eve. I happened to pass by the prison when I returned, and I heard the prison was on fire. My heart skipped a beat as I remembered you were still in prison. ¡°Mostly everyone in prison was evacuated when I rushed over. But you were the only missing one. I didn¡¯t think much of it at the time. I just rushed in after putting on a wet quilt. Kisa stayed silent and listened quietly to him narrate what happened back then. ¡°I still remember you fell on the ground and were bleeding badly. I took the risk to save you at the time, but I couldn¡¯t save your child after all. When that child came out of your womb¡­ was stillborn.¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. The word ¡°stillborn¡± totally defeated all of Kisa¡¯s strength. She covered her mouth and sobbed immediately. Adrien nced at her. Suddenly, he took out a few photos from his wallet. ¡°I took these photos back then. You were unconscious at the time. After all, as the child¡¯s mom, you have to see what your child looks like. But your will to survive was weak after you woke up. So, I¡¯m scared to show it to you. I still keep these photos to this day. I thought to let you see your child with your own eyes if there¡¯s a chance.¡± Kisa reached out to the photos tremblingly. Those photos were all of a baby with dark purple skin. Although these photos were old, they were taken clearly. The appearance of the child ovepped with the one in her memory. ¡®At that time, I saw my baby was lifeless with dark purple skin when I woke up in a daze. It was exactly like this photo.¡® Kisa sobbed and touched the baby in the photo. ¡°Maybe it would be better if I died with my child at that moment.¡± Adrien shook his head and sighed, ¡°You¡¯re wrong. It will only hurt those who love you if you die with your child. Your child won¡¯t survive after all.¡± ¡°Those who love me?¡± Kisaughed ironically. ¡®At that time, no one in this world loved me.¡® She wiped the tears from her face and said to Adrien, ¡°My will to live was really weak at that moment. You took great pains to make me live strong. I appreciate you sincerely.¡± Adrien smiled meaningfully, ¡°It¡¯s really¡­ painstaking.¡± Kisa could not understand the meaning of his words. She turned to him and asked, ¡°Was there any rumor when you rescued me? Or did you investigate the fire secretly afterward?¡± Given the length of time that had passed since the fire, it would be challenging to investigate that fire and locate the key witnesses. However, if someone had looked into the incident at that time on purpose, they might uncover some information. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 511 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 511 Chapter 511 A Bigwig Wants You to Die Suddenly, Adrien fell silent and smoked quietly. Kisa felt Adrien¡¯s facial expression turn grim all of a sudden. She was uptight and stared at him without blinking. Adrien finally spoke again after a long time, ¡°The official exnation back then was that night was too cold. They turned on the heating equipment during the New Year¡¯s Eve party, but the equipment malfunctioned suddenly and caused the fire. In other words, the fire that year was an ident.¡± ¡°So, you didn¡¯t investigate it?¡± Kisa felt a little disappointed. She definitely would not believe the fire was an ident because she clearly remembered someones locked her in the room on purpose and were talking outside the door. They implied that Gilbert was behind the fire. Adrien shook his head and said, ¡°There was nothing to investigate as the prison burned into ruins at that moment. But I heard the fire started from your side, and there was no heating equipment at your side. So there were some loopholes in the official exnation. ¡°I looked for the wardenter. He spoke cryptically, implying that there was a bigwig who wanted you to die. However, he revealed no further information.¡± Kisa lowered her eyes. ¡®A bigwig who wanted me dead? Was Gilbert the bigwig? Except for Gilbert, Sharon was the one who wanted me to die. But Sharon wasn¡¯t as powerful as Gilbert.¡® Suddenly, Kisa felt a little confused. The truth remained unclear even though Adrien had told her that much. The person behind the incident was still unknown. Kisa looked at Adrien. ¡°Where is that warden now? I want to meet him.¡± ¡®The warden must have known who was behind that fire since he said that.¡® Adrien shook his head and said, ¡°The warden resigned after the fire. No one knows where he is. But I¡¯ll help you find him if you want to meet him.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Suddenly, Adrien sighed, ¡°I knew the fire was weird initially. I worried someone would hurt you. So, I didn¡¯t tell anyone after I rescued you secretly. I even changed your name just to make you stay alive. You were seriously injured at that time. I thought you wouldn¡¯t survive. Luckily you¡¯re fine, but that child was a pity.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart ached again when she heard about the child. Adrien nced at her and said, ¡°The child was almost full¨Cterm. I tried to save him, but it didn¡¯t work after trying several times.¡± ¡°I know you did your best. No matter what, I really appreciate you.¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°Don¡¯t say that. Your mom and I were close friends back then. You¡¯re her daughter. I should take care of you as an elder.¡± Kisa took out the photo of the baby again. She rubbed the baby in the photo and felt very sad deep in her heart. ¡®I really want to hug my baby, but I would never have such an opportunity in my whole life.¡± Adrien looked at her sad face and said suddenly, ¡°Gilbert¡­ is his dad, right?¡± Kisa remained silent. Adrien sighed, ¡°I¡¯ve heard about what happened between you and Gilbert back then. But I still can¡¯t understand how he can bear it. This is his child after all, even if there was a blood feud between both of you. This child might be born safely if he didn¡¯t send you to prison.¡± Kisa¡¯s tears could not help but fall. They dripped on the photo, on the child¡¯s face, like flowers of sadness. She looked at Adrien and said in a choked voice¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 512 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 512 Chapter 512 You¡¯re Right ¡°Ruthless is just his nature.

He looked at Kisa, who was feeling sad, while smoking quietly. A cigarette burned out after a long time. After stubbing out the cigarette, Adrien got up and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be too sad about the child. After all, it¡¯s over.¡± ¡®Over? I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll never get over this wound for a lifetime. The child was already formed and almost full¨Cterm. I can see his appearance, his brows, and his eyes clearly. He looks simr to Gilbert. The appearance of the child has been engraved in my heart. So I can never let go of it for the rest of my life.¡® Adrien gave Kisa a deep look. He just turned around and walked out quietly without saying anything. Finally, Kisa was the only one left in the private room. She looked at the child in the photo and cried in grief while bit the back of her hand. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. She knocked back one drink and had another after crying. It seemed like her heart was not been hurt as long as she got drunk. Gilbert drove quietly along the way. Davian felt as if sitting on a bed of needles beside Gilbert. He smiled with an ingratiation expression and said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, I can¡¯t drive because I¡¯ve been drinking. If not, I would never let you drive.¡± Gilbert snorted coldly but remained silent. Sharon, who was sitting in the back, had filled with pent¨Cup anger. She said immediately when seeing Davian had broken the silence, ¡°Kisa purposely asked Mr. Tanner to stay. She must be up to something no good.¡± Davian said casually, ¡°What scheme would she have? You have a rich imagination.¡± ¡°Think about it. She didn¡¯t have any masterpieces, she¡¯s not as famous as me, and she¡¯s only filmed a show. She¡¯s a neer in showbiz. Why does Mr. Tanner want her to be the heroine? I guess she must have an affair with Mr. Tanner.¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± Davian scoffed, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t! Jensen was bored of her now. I can guarantee there must be a thing between Mr. Tanner and her. Maybe they have hooked up since long ago.¡± The remarks Sharon made got worse. Davian did not bother to pay attention to her. Sharon added, ¡°It¡¯s normal. My sister has been restless since she was young. She always seduces men when she meets them. Her taste is even weirder this time. She can even ept an elder like Mr. Tanner. Tsk, tsk, it¡¯s really disgusting. ¡°She asked Mr. Tanner to stay alone with her now. Both of them must be having sex in that private room. Wait, seems like my sister really has been yed by many men. Gilbert,¡® luckily you divorced her. If not, you might be a cuckold many times.¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± The car stopped abruptly when Davian just yelled at her. Davian stared at Gilbert¡¯s sullen side face carefully. ¡°Mr. Kooper, why¡­ did you stop the car suddenly?¡± Sharon was frightened that she was scared to breathe and just stared at the man in front of her. ¡°Get off!¡± Gilbert uttered two words coldly all of a sudden. Davian stunned. He looked at the isted environment and said hesitantly, ¡°G¨CGet off? Now? But there are no taxis here¡­¡± Davian¡¯s voice dropped instantly when seeing Gilbert¡¯s frowned slightly. Suddenly, Gilbert voiced out when Davian was about to get off the car, ¡°Whoever talked nonsense just now, get off the car.¡± Davian shocked. He quickly retracted the leg that he had just stretched out. He turned his head to Sharon and said, ¡°Mr. Kooper asked you to get off the car.¡± Sharon was unconvinced. ¡°Gilbert asked you to get off the car. He would never ask me to get off the car.

Mr. Kooper wants you to get out of the car because of your foul mouth,¡± said Davian with a smirk. ¡°Shut up! You¡¯re just an assistant. How dare you talk to me in this way?¡± Davian shrugged triumphantly. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll stop talking about you. But Mr. Kooper wants you to get out of the car. So, you should do so immediately.¡± Sharon felt angry and wronged. She looked at Gilbert again. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll count to three. Your name will disappear from showbiz if you don¡¯t get out of the car.¡± Gilbert said coldly, ¡°One, two¡­¡± Sharon was angry, her eyes teary. She pushed the door on the other side immediately and said, ¡°Fine! I¡¯ll get out of the car.¡± Sharon was still angry after getting out of the car. She cried as she spoke to Gilbert, ¡°I know you don¡¯t want to hear about her scandal. But this is the fact. She is a terrible person. She- ¡± The car went away like a rocket before she could finish the sentence. Sharon stomped her feet on the spot, and her eyes flushed with anger. ¡®Although you seem indifferent to Kisa, you still cannot ept others criticizing her. Gilbert, do you really want to die at her hands?¡® Davian also felt Gilbert always refused to listen to others who spoke ill of Kisa. ¡®Perhaps Mr. Kooper wanted to hear others praise her.¡® As he thought of this, he said to Gilbert, ¡°Mr. Kooper, don¡¯t listen to Sharon. Ma¡¯am isn¡¯t that kind of person. Maybe Mr. Tanner made Ma¡¯am the heroine of his film because of her good acting skill.¡± Gilbert nced at him coolly, ¡°Did I ask for an exnation?¡°> Davian was speechless. ¡®I can¡¯t ever understand what Mr. Kooper is thinking.¡¯ He sat straight, pursed his lips, and dared not say anything. Suddenly, Gilbert stopped the car again when they reached somewhere unfamiliar. Davian looked around and saw that the surrounding was much livelier than that where they had dropped Sharon just now. ¡®Is it Mr. Kooper don¡¯t know the way? The restaurant is not far from thepany and the Kooper residence. It¡¯s just a thirty-minute drive away since all are main roads. Why did Mr. Kooper insist on wandering on these unfamiliar roads for so long? He didn¡¯t even know where he was wandering now.¡¯ Although Davian was full of questions, he was scared to say or ask anything. Gilbert lit a cigarette after stopping the car. He seemed to be in a depressed mood. When he smoked, his brows were knitted closely together. Davian sat on the side, not daring to vent his breath. The day turned dark quickly in winter. It was entirely dark after he finished one cigarette. The lights lit on both sides of the road, and there were more pedestrians on the road. Gilbert still had no intention of starting the car after finishing the cigarette. He leaned back in the seat in silence. No one knew what he was thinking. Davian could not sit still anymore. He wanted to go back and lie downfortably under the nket. When Davian was about to say he would take a taxi back by himself, Gilbert said lightly all a sudden, ¡°Check the background of Adrien after you go back.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 514 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 514 Chapter 514 Mr. Kooper, Do You Know the Way? Davian was stunned. ¡®Why didn¡¯t he think about checking Adrien¡¯s background when I first mentioned the cooperation? Why did he want to check it after meeting him today? Besides, the Tanner family is a well¨Cknown family in Raworth, as is Adrien. There¡¯s nothing to investigate.¡® Although all these thoughts were in Davian¡¯s mind, he still replied respectfully, ¡°Sure.¡± Gilbert tapped the steering and said, ¡°I also want all the information on Adrien, including his education, experience, and past rtionship.¡± ¡°Huh? What are you looking for? Mr. Tanner is in his fifties. Do you really suspect Ma¡¯am and him¡­¡± Suddenly, Gilbert nced at him with a gloomy look before he finished. Davian choked in fright and nodded quickly, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll check it tomorrow. No, I¡¯ll start checking when I get back today.¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and started the car again. He continued wandering the trails without knowing where he was going. Davian could not help but said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, do you know the way? How about I get you navigation? Are you going to thepany or Kooper¡¯s residence?¡± Davian took out his mobile phone and clicked on the map as he said.. The car suddenly drove into a familiar road as soon as he clicked on the map. He looked around hurriedly. He found abruptly that they were nearby the restaurant where Mr. Tanner had dinner today. ¡®It turned out that Mr. Kooper just driving around. He returned to this restaurant again after such a long time. Eh? Is Mr. Kooper worried about his wife? That¡¯s why he purposely came back to pick her up.¡® Thought of that, Davian said smartass, ¡°Mr. Kooper, we just had dinner at the restaurant there. How about let me check if Ma¡¯am is still there? She had also been drinking. You can drive her back if she hasn¡¯t left.¡± Gilbert did not say anything. But Davian obviously felt that the speed of the car increased a lot when passing the restaurant. Davian pouted. ¡®Mr. Kooper¡¯s thoughts are really unpredictable now. If said that he drove back specifically to pick Ma¡¯am up because he worried about her. But I didn¡¯t expect him to speed up the car expressionlessly when he passed the restaurant. If said he wasn¡¯t worried Ma¡¯am. He would have no reason to keep driving around here. No one knows what he wants to do.¡® Davian really wanted to go back and lie down under the covers now. ¡®It¡¯s cold today. Lying in a warm nket is the mostfortable thing to do.¡¯ The car was still driving neither quickly nor slowly. But no one knows where the final destination was. Davian wondered whether he should be bold enough to ask Gilbert to send him back directly while ying with his phone. He caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eyes when he gritted his teeth and was about to speak. He shouted hurriedly, ¡°Mr. Kooper, stop! Faster!¡± Gilbert frowned slightly and stopped the car. Davian turned his head and looked back vigorously. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. A woman was retching ufortably while holding a tree trunk on the side of the road. Davian did not see the woman¡¯s appearance but he recognized the dress. ¡®Isn¡¯t that what Ma¡¯am is wearing today? And looking at that figure, it¡¯s very simr to Ma¡¯am.¡® Davian said to Gilbert quickly, ¡°Mr. Kooper, do you think that is Ma¡¯am?¡± Gilbert remained silent. Davian twisted his neck and looked around for a long time. At this moment, the woman had turned around and was sitting unsteadily on the bench by the roadside. Finally, Davian saw her appearance clearly. ¡®It¡¯s Ma¡¯am!¡± Maybe because she just vomited, so she had no time to put on a mask yet. Davian grabbed Gilbert¡¯s arm immediately. ¡°Mr. Kooper, it¡¯s Ma¡¯am. She seems to be drunk.

Will you also honor her as Mrs. Kooper when I die by her hands one day?¡± Gilbert¡¯s words put Davian in an awkward position. Davian pursed his lips and whispered,¡± It is not like that. I just think she is drunk, and it is dangerous to hang out alone like this, so¡­¡± ¡°And what does that have to do with me?¡± Gilbert snapped, rendering Davian speechless.¡± If you¡¯re worried about her, you may protect her. Just that you don¡¯t have toe to GK tomorrow,¡± Gilbert sneered. ¡°No, no, no¡­¡± Davian hurriedly shook his head vigorously. ¡°I¡¯m not worried about her. Not at all. She is GK¡¯s arch rival; why would I worry about her?¡± Despite saying so, he still looked back involuntarily. Just then, a man came sitting down beside Kisa. Davian was nervous when he saw this. He whispered to Gilbert, ¡°Mr. Kooper, someone seems to bully Miss Becker. What should we do? Should we-¡± Gilbert suddenly started the car before Davian could finish his sentence. Davian¡¯s heart sank, ¡®Mrs. Kooper really broke Mr. Kooper¡¯s heart when she stabbed him. Now he is turning a blind eye to it when someone bullies Mrs. Kooper. Could it be that he really doesn¡¯t care about his wife at all?¡® Davian was watching the situation behind him. The man was grabbing at Kisa, and pulled her back down on the bench with his hand tantly feeling up her body. Davian clenched his fists. He looked behind him and then at Gilbert. Without Gilbert¡¯s permission, he could do nothing but only feel anxious. Suddenly, the car screeched to a halt. Davian was startled. ¡°Mr. Kooper?¡± Gilbert clutched the steering wheel and narrowed his eyes as he stared gravely into the rearview mirror. ¡°Bring her over.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯m on my way.¡± Davian responded with delight and got out of the car at once. In no time, he knocked the man down with only a few punches. The man hugged his head in fear and begged for mercy. ¡°Have mercy, bro. Have mercy. I won¡¯t dare again.¡± ?? ¡°How dare you touch Mr. Kooper¡¯s woman? Do you want to die? Get the hell out of my sight! ¡°Davian kicked the man again. The man fell to the ground before he quickly got up and ran for his life. Davian spat and then looked at Kisa, who was looking at him with hazy eyes, obviously drunk. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, come on. Get in the car with me. Mr. Kooper is waiting.¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°He won¡¯t wait for me. Who are you? Go away.¡± Davian had no words when Kisa could not even recognize him. He wondered how much she had drunk. ¡°I¡¯m going home now. T¨Cthank you for chasing away the fly.¡± Davianughed, finding this description really apt. Seeing Kisa go the other way, Davian had no time to think and quickly grabbed her arm and brought her into the car. ¡°What are you doing? Let go of me.¡± Ignoring her resistance, Davian shoved Kisa into the rear seat. As he opened the front passenger door and was about to get in, Gilbert suddenly said to him, ¡°You take a taxi.¡± With that, Gilbert reached out his hand and shut the door. The car started and sped forward like an arrow, leaving Davian alone at the roadside.

She tried to push the door open, but no matter how hard she tried, it would not open. She leaned forward and tugged at the driver¡¯s arm. ¡°Stop the car, stop the car¡­¡± Gilbert furrowed his brows, and he yanked the woman¡¯s hand away with annoyance. But the woman kepting back up, now tugging at his chest. ¡°Where are you taking me? Stop the car. I don¡¯t want to be here. Stop the car.¡± The woman was drunk and did not know how much force she was using when she tugged at his clothes. The wound on his chest hurt and it reminded him of her heartlessness that day. He yanked her hand away again in annoyance. But Kisa did not relent, and kept pulling at him, irritating him. Gilbert¡¯s eyes narrowed, and he jerked the steering wheel, making a sharp turn. Because of inertia, Kisa hit her head against the car window. She cried out in pain as she fell back into the seat. Gilbert was relieved that she finally stopped bothering him. If she kept on tugging at him, they could have a car ident. ¡°It hurts. I feel awful¡­¡± Instead of pulling at him, Kisa started to wail. Gilbert was annoyed. ¡®I shouldn¡¯t have brought this woman into the car, but let her outside to fend for herself. She knows she can¡¯t drink, yet has drunk so much. She gets what she deserves.¡® ¡°It hurts, Jensen. My head hurts, my heart hurts. What should I do, Jensen? What should I do¡­¡± Gilbert clutched the steering wheel. He suddenly let out a cold and self¨Cdeprecating smile. Jensen, Jensen! I knew it. All she wants is Jensen. Even when she is drunk, she thinks about Jensen.¡® But he never heard it when Kisa kept muttering his name. Kisa wailed for a long while before she got up again, knocking on the car door, sometimes covering her mouth and retching. Gilbert could not stand the sound of her retching. When the car came to the riverside, he stopped the car, got out, and pulled open the rear passenger door. The woman was holding the back of her seat with one hand, covering her mouth with the other, still retching. Gilbert frowned in disgust. ¡°Get out!¡± Kisa did not seem to hear him, still covering her mouth and retching. It irritated Gilbert, and he dragged her out. Kisa dropped lying on the ground, not knowing what had happened. ¡°That hurts!¡± She showed him her bleeding palm, and Gilbert snickered. ¡°It hurts when it just bleeds a little?¡± ¡°It really hurts,¡± Kisa said with aggrievement, her eyes welling up. A wave of annoyance rose within him for no reason. He flung away her hand. ¡°You deserve it for drinking so much.¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°Because I¡¯m sad. I¡¯m sad, and so I drink.

Gilbert¡¯s face darkened. He couldn¡¯t care less that she still felt terrible and vomited, and pushed her away. She fell to the ground. With both hands on the ground, she propped her body up and vomited furiously, wanting to throw up everything in her stomach. Gilbert saw this and was enraged. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have cared. You knew you couldn¡¯t drink.¡± After vomiting, she took a breath and said, ¡°Who wants you to care about me? Who the hell are you?¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth. ¡°Good, then I will leave you here alone.¡± He spun around and got into his car without looking back, then drove off into the darkness of the night. Kisa dropped sitting on the ground, looking in the direction where the car disappeared, and muttered, ¡°Who cares? Who the hell are you? Gilbert? Heh!¡± She suddenly sneered at herself, ¡°Gilbert couldn¡¯t have cared less about me. Gilbert, Gilbert¡­¡± She kept murmuring in the chilly night wind, like a castaway. There was no one by the river, only a row of streetlights on the bank. Kisa sat on the ground for a long time, shivering from the cold, and her head was throbbing with pain. She shook her head, and then slowly got up from the ground. The wine she had just drunk had alle back to her. Her head was dizzy and aching, and her stomach was churning. Kisa took a few steps, having difficulty to bnce her body and wobbling so much that she almost fell down several times. She wandered along the dimly lit riverbank, not knowing where she was going, looking pathetic and frail in the chilly night wind. Gilbert stood on the riverbank, clenching his hand as he watched Kisa from afar with no expression on his face. He had told himself not to care about her, but knowing she was drunk, he was worried that she would fall into the river. He was angry with her for getting drunk and giving him so much trouble. The lights at the riverbank were dim, and in a short while, Kisa hadpletely disappeared into the darkness. He gritted his teeth and followed her. He walked quickly and caught up with her in no time. About two or three meters away.from her, he kept a distance. He also said nothing, just quietly watching her do some actions he could not understand. She pulled a handful of grass, put it to her nose and sniffed it, and then threw it away. The other time, she plucked a green foxtail to graze her neck, and then broke it in half. Gilbert watched on and felt upset and bored. He took out a cigarette and lit it, then leaned against the boulder next to him and smoked in silence. He let Kisa do whatever she wanted, thinking that once she sobered up, he would leave. Gilbert thought sullenly and left Kisa to it as he held a cigarette in one hand and yed with his phone with the other. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Gilbert!¡± Kisa suddenly called out to him. Gilbert was stunned, wondering how she recognized him when she was still so drunk. He tried hard to stop himself from thinking too much and looked at the woman with annoyance. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 518 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 518 Chapter 518 Look at the Ring Kisa somehow had climbed onto arge boulder, still holding the half stalk of green foxtail which she had bent into a ring. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Gilbert, look at the ring.¡± She waved the ring made from the green foxtail at him, smiling with her eyes looking like a crescent moon, just as she had when he first saw her. He liked her smile best when she was young; those clean eyes looked wonderful as a crescent moon. But it had been a long time since hest saw her smile like that. Under the dim streetlight, that clean smile seemed to ovep with the one in his memory, causing his heart to pound involuntarily. ¡°This is the ring I made. Is it beautiful?¡± Kisa put the straw ring on her ring finger, and then spread her fingers to show him. Gilbert pursed his lips and only spoke after a long while. ¡°It is beautiful.¡± ¡°Yeah, it is beautiful.¡± Kisa seemed happy. She rubbed the straw ring on her finger and said, as if to herself, ¡°I made one for you at that time, but you threw it away.¡± Gilbert frowned and shook his head subconsciously. ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡± ¡°You threw it away.¡± Kisa looked at him with sudden anger. ¡°I saw it all.¡± Seeing the confident look on her face, Gilbert frowned and tried to recall his memory of the grass ring. On one fine day, he saw a small ring made of grass on his desk, and he did not know what it was. But there was a tiny note underneath the circle, read, [A ring for you, keep it.] with Kisa¡¯s signature on it. Just then, Jensen came in and saw the grass ring and said with surprise, ¡°Isn¡¯t that a ring made of green foxtail? Kisa and I both have one.¡± Because of thisment, he thought the grass ring was nothing special and had no meaning, that since he could give it to him, she could also have given it to Jensen, and that he was no more special to her than Jensen was. Perhaps he was too young and unable to control his emotion, he resisted the feelings inside him. He did not even care for anything that woman gave him, because he thought Jensen also had what she had given to him. So he disdainfully threw the grass ring into the trash can and muttered coldly, ¡°That is ugly.¡± Now that she looked so angry and sure, she was probably hiding outside the door of the room back then. He cut the thought from his mind and looked at Kisa; she still looked angry. ¡°You threw it away, didn¡¯t you?¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and then said in a deep voice, ¡°Because you gave the same ring to Jensen, too. So I didn¡¯t like it.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t. I didn¡¯t give it to Jensen. It was Jensen who taught me how to make the ring. I gave you the first ring I made.¡± With that, she got sad again. ¡°Unfortunately, you didn¡¯t like it. Gilbert frowned and stared at her with a serious face, as if trying to determine from her drunken look if he could trust what she said. ¡®If she cared for him the most, why did she always get so close to Jensen when she was young? It is a lie. It is all a lie!¡® He shook his head quietly and tried to fight back the feelings that were welling up inside him. ¡®She has hurt me twice. Enough is enough! She doesn¡¯t love me, and I shouldn¡¯t continue to fantasize about her.¡® He had sworn before that he would never again grow feelings for Kisa. He looked at her sad face and said in a bitter voice, ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t like it. Everything you give, I don¡¯t like it.¡± ¡°I know, because you hate me. So you don¡¯t like it.¡± Kisa smiled, but that smile was filled with a sense of brokenness. She walked toward the edge of the boulder as she spoke. When he saw she was about to fall off, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously yelled, ¡°Watch out!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 519 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 519 Chapter 519 It Hurts ¡°Aaaaah!¡± Before Gilbert could rush over to catch her, Kisa missed a step and fell off the boulder. ¡°That hurts¡­¡± She got up, rubbed her ankle, and cried at him with great anguish. My foot hurts so much.¡± Gilbert walked up to her and did not know what to say upon seeing her face. After a long while of fighting back his anger, he gritted his teeth and snapped, ¡°You deserve it.¡± Kisa¡® felt even more aggrieved. She lowered her head, kneaded her ankle, and said nothing for a long time. Gilbert looked up at the sky and asked, holding back his temper, ¡°Can you still stand up?¡± ¡°I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have brought her here and should not have allowed her to fool around. I should have driven her back, or to Jensen¡¯s ce, instead of inviting trouble for myself.¡® But no matter how much he regretted it, he had already brought her here. So he could not bring himself to leave her here alone. Gilbert was getting irritated. He smashed his cigarette on the ground, stubbed it out with his foot, and then yelled at Kisa impatiently, ¡°Can you still stand on your feet or not?¡± But Kisa still said nothing, just looking down at her ankle. Gilbert ran out of patience. He took a deep breath and reached out to pull her up. ¡°Aaaah!¡± She suddenly cried out in agony despite him doing nothing to her. He sneered, ¡°You are getting more and more pretentious when you are drunk.¡± Kisa bit her lower lip and said nothing. Perhaps it was too painful, or she felt too aggrieved her eyes welled up. Seeing that she kept quiet, he dragged her toward the car on the riverbank without saying a word. It was gettingte, and he had no energy to entertain his drunken women here. But after just taking a step out, Kisa suddenly shook off his hand. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to care about me. You go! You go!¡± Gilbert let out a sardonic smile and looked at her with his head tilted. ¡°What do you want again? If I don¡¯t care about you, you could have fallen into the river and drowned. Won¡¯t Jensene after me if you die?¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Kisa clenched her hands and choked with anger. ¡°I just don¡¯t need you to care about me- not even if I die.¡± Gilbert shook his head and snickered. ¡®Even though she is drunk, she has never changed, still stubborn as ever.¡¯ He said coldly, ¡°You think I want to take care of you? Even if you want to die, don¡¯t die in front of my eyes, because I feel awful.¡± Kisa was drunk, but she could understand those awful words, which saddened her terribly. Gilbert nced at her expressionlessly and then dragged her on to the shore. This time, she did not shake off his hand again, but limped to follow him. He nced back at her foot with a frown. ¡°Did you really sprain your ankle?¡± Kisa said nothing, looking aggrieved and angry, as much as stubborn. Gilbert was pissed. He did not bother to ask her about it again, but picked up his pace as he took her to the car. Probably because of the pain, Kisa could not keep up. Gilbert had to literally drag her along before he shoved her into the car. In the light of the car heamps, he suddenly got a glimpse of her wet hair on her forehead. He reached her forehead and found that it was all cold sweat. ¡°You¡­¡± Kisa smacked his hand away with a huff and said nothing. He looked down, and his gaze fell on her crippled foot. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 520 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 520 Chapter 520 This Woman Is a Nuisance When Drunk ¡®She isn¡¯t pretending, is she? She really sprained her ankle?¡® He lifted her foot while thinking. Kisa, still angry, made a move to pull back her foot, but Gilbert held her calf tightly, not letting her escape. ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± He barked. Kisa felt more and more aggrieved, and cried out. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to care about me. Let go of me. Who are you? I don¡¯t need you to take care of me.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face darkened. He really disliked Kisa when she was drunk. She was a nuisance when she got drunk. It would be better if she slept after getting drunk. Instead, she behaved like a child, so unreasonably. He ignored her cries and just took off her shoes and socks. When he rolled up a small part of her pants, he gasped at the sight of her swollen ankle. ¡®No wonder she screamed in pain. I thought she was faking it. In that case, she has been holding back the pain when she walked over just now. She did not make a sound, even if she broke out in a cold sweat in pain. Heh, she is really stubborn.¡¯ ¡°Go home and ask Jensen to apply medication for you. Don¡¯t move around and you will recover in a few days.¡± With that, he closed the car door with force. Kisa bit her lower lip and kept quiet, but tears just kept falling down. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert got in and started the car. At first, he thought of taking Kisa back to Jensen, but halfway down the road, he suddenly turned the car around and drove toward The Sandy Bay. Not wanting Jensen to ask questions, and ming him for Kisa¡¯s injured ankle, he felt he had better take her to The Sandy Bay and wait for her to sober up tomorrow and go back on her own. He did so because he did not want to have any more involvement with her. The Sandy Bay has been cleared of maids since Madalyn returned to live in the Kooper residence, leaving only two older maids to clean the house once a week. The Sandy Bay was dark at night. Gilbert drove the car into the courtyard and parked the car, then got out and pulled open the rear passenger door. ¡°Get out,¡± he said faintly, with no expression on his face. Kisa leaned back in the seat without saying a word. Her ankle was so swollen that it was ring to look at. ¡°Get out of the car. I will put some medication on it for you.¡± ¡°No need!¡± Kisa refused stubbornly, and that angered Gilbert. Without a word, he dragged her out of the car, catching her off guard. Her injured foot hit the ground so hard that gasped in pain with more tears flowing. She looked like he was bullying her. Gilbert snorted, carried her up in his arms, and strode into the house. The house was clean. Gilbert carried her straight to the second floor, where she used to stay, and dumped her on the couch. Without a word, he spun around and went out to find a first¨Caid kit. When he came back with the first¨Caid kit, Kisa was no longer on the couch. ¡®Heh! She still runs around with her swollen ankle. She deserves it.¡¯ While he was thinking so, he heard a dull thud apanied by a woman¡¯s cry in the bathroom. His heart sank, and he hastened toward it. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 521 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 521 Chapter 521 He Bullied Her He pushed open the bathroom door, only to see Kisa lying on the floor in tears. It angered him to see this. ¡°What are you doing again? Can¡¯t you just sit on the couch?¡± He was clearly impatient and reproachful. Feeling wronged, Kisa just bit her lip and said nothing. Neither Gilbert said anything more. He walked in to carry her. The moment he turned around, he got a glimpse of the urine in the toilet bowl. He was stunned and subconsciously looked at the woman in his arms. ¡°Y¨CYou came in here because you needed to release yourself, and that was why¡­¡± Kisa bit her lip, not saying anything and not looking at him. He pursed his lips and then asked, ¡°Did the fall hurt?¡± He was asking a stupid question; if it did not hurt, she would not have cried. The woman still bit her lip and said nothing. Gilbert let out a light sigh and carried her out. Once again, he ced her on the couch, but this time, his actions were much gentler than before. ¡°Luckily, I always have all kinds of medications here,¡± Gilbert said, opening the first¨Caid kit, and taking out a tube of ointment. He kneeled down and put her injured foot on his knee. Then he squeezed some ointment out and smoothed it bit by bit evenly on the red and swollen area of her foot. ¡°By tomorrow, you should be sober, and the swelling on your ankle should have reduced a bit. So by then you can take a taxi back by yourself. Don¡¯t tell anyone that you have seen me tonight.¡± ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± Kisa suddenly called out to him. Her voice was clear, and she seemed to recognize him, but she still looked tipsy. She looked at him. ¡°Have you hated me from the beginning?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Gilbert answered and nodded his head only after a long silence. Kisa pursed her lips and choked. ¡°Why? Did I do something that annoyed you back then?¡± Gilbert did not want to answer the question. ¡®Since she likes Jensen, why is she asking me such a question, as if I have wronged her?¡® He put away the ointment after applying it on her foot. ¡°Don¡¯t wear shoes tonight. Go to bed early and leave as soon as you wake up tomorrow,¡± he said indifferently, the last part of his sentence sounding as if it was amand. Kisa looked at him in aggrievement and said nothing. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. He could not bear to see the look on her face, as it always gave him the illusion that he was bullying her. He carried the first¨Caid kit and walked outside without looking back. After closing the door behind him, he leaned on the door and smiled self¨Cdeprecatingly. ¡®What have I been doing tonight? I told myself not to care about her, but I still couldn¡¯t help but bring her here. I told myself I would slowly forget her and stop being soft on her, but when he saw her red and swollen ankle, my heart still arched.¡® He tilted his head andughed, and could not help but kick himself. ¡®After tonight, I must absolutely not care about her life or death again. Absolutely not!¡® He swore in his mind, his eyes looking frosty. After Kisa made such a havoc, Gilbert did not feel like sleeping. After taking a shower, he went to his study to take care of some paperwork. Before he knew it, it was already 1 am. He pinched his tired brow and was about to turn off hisputer and go to sleep when Davian video¨Ccalled him. He answered it and then leaned back in his chair. ¡°What¡¯s up? Say it.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 522 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 522 Chapter 522 There Is a Ghost ¡°Mr. Kooper, you are still awake? H¨CHave I disturbed you?¡± Davian let out a servile at the other end of the phone. Gilbert rolled his eyes. ¡°Of course you have disturbed me. You are bing worse and worse as an assistant.¡°, Davian¡¯s smile froze. ¡°T¨CThen I will leave you to it and will report back to you tomorrow.¡± Gilbert stopped teasing him and said in a deep voice, ¡°Get down to business.¡± Davian stoppedughing and said with a serious face, ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to investigate Adrien Tanner? I have found something.¡± ¡°Say it.¡± ¡°Adrien is the Tanner family¡¯s eldest son, grew up smart with good business acumen. He graduated from a prestigious university and as soon as he graduated, he started his own business to prove his ability. Later, he took over all the business of the Tanner family with his own merit. He is very influential in the circle, and is the best in the business world. As for his rtionship history, I found nothing. He doesn¡¯t seem to be interested in women. He is not married yet and has no tidbit about him. There are rumors he has secretly married and has a son, but none of these rumors have been confirmed.¡± Gilbert listened quietly, and Adrien¡¯s eyes came to mind. The results of Davian¡¯s investigation sounded normal, yet strange. He was sure at the moment that he had not seen Adrien before and also had not crossed paths with him. But he just found those eyes so familiar. ¡®It can¡¯t be. I must have seen those eyes before.¡¯ Davian stared at his frowning face and could not help but ask, ¡°Mr. Kooper, is there something wrong with the information I have found?¡± Gilbert shook his head. ¡°You are efficient.¡± Davianughed. ¡°Not that I¡¯m efficient. Just that his background is so easy to check, as if it has been put there on purpose. Ites out as soon as you check it.¡± Gilbert thought his statement was a bit strange, but could not figure out what was strange about it. ¡°Mr. Kooper¡­¡± Davian suddenly smiled servilely again, ¡°Is Mrs. Kooper still at your ce?¡± Gilbert¡¯s face darkened. Davian panicked and hurriedly backtracked. ¡°I mean Ms. Becker. It is Ms. Becker. Not Mrs. Kooper.¡± ¡°If there is nothing else, hang up.¡± Davian nodded. ¡°Nothing else.¡± ¡°Aaaaah!¡± Just as Gilbert was about to cut off the video call, a scream came. It was so loud it could have been heard throughout the vi, even from Davian¡¯s end. ¡°Is that Ms. Becker¡¯s voice? What is happening, Mr. Kooper? Where are you and Ms. Becker now?¡± Gilbert ignored Davian as he disconnected the call and then hurried outside. ¡°Aaaaah¡­ Go away! Who are you? Go away!¡± CLANK! Before Gilbert could enter the room, he heard a woman¡¯s piercing scream from inside, apanied by a sound of breaking ss. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly pushed open the door. He saw a shadow lunge toward him before it collided into him. ¡°There is a ghost! Gilbert, there is a ghost! It is so scary!¡± N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Gilbert had no words and put his hand to his forehead. ¡®Is she drunk again? It is the middle. of the night. Howe she hasn¡¯t sobered up at all and is getting drunker and drunker?¡¯ Kisa clutched his chestpel, cowering. ¡°There really is a ghost. It is so scary¡­¡± ¡°Where is the ghost? Show me.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 523 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 523 Chapter 523 There isn¡¯t Even a Cat Here Kisa swallowed in fear. She half hid her face in his arms and pointed at the curtain that danced with the wind. ¡°That was where it crawled in. It is so scary, so scary¡­¡± Gilbert would not believe it. He pulled her toward the window, and she hid behind him in fear, only peeking out from behind him. Gilbert lifted the curtain and searched around, but there was no ghost, not even a cat. ¡°Where is the ghost?¡± He dragged her out from behind him and pointed to the white curtain. ¡°Tell me, where is the ghost?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Kisa bit her finger and wove her way behind the curtain, asking with a puzzled face,¡± Where is the ghost? Where is it hiding? Huh?¡± Seeing her childish actions, Gilbert put his hand to his forehead, speechless. ¡°You must have a nightmare. Okay, go to sleep.¡± He fought back his anger and spun around to leave. But she tugged on his arm again and yelled, ¡°There it goes! The ghost has gone there!¡± Kisa pointed at the bathroom with a frightened face. Gilbert was annoyed, but still patiently apanied her to the bathroom. Once inside, he was so furious that his blood pressure shot up; the bathroom mirror had been shattered, and things on the countertop had been smashed all down on the floor. It was a mess. He gritted his teeth and looked sternly at Kisa beside him. Kisa did not notice the murderous look in his eyes. She was still in terror, searching for the ghost¡®. Gilbert wished he could p her to death. ¡®When other people get drunk, they just go to sleep, but she just turns into a madwoman. Last time she was drunk, she still acted quite cute. Howe this time she became aplete psycho?¡® ¡°Kisa!¡± He yelled at her. Kisa was shaken, shrinking her neck and staring at him with a frightened face. Seeing her scared look, Gilbert fought back the impulse of wanting to p her to death and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Where is the ghost? If you don¡¯t find it tonight, I won¡¯t be finished with you.¡± ¡°I¨CIt was in there. But now it is gone. Where did it go, where did it go?¡± Kisa asked with a puzzled look on her face, still leaning on the wall where the mirror was embedded and searching for the ghost. Gilbert¡¯s chest heaved as his breathing got heavier. ¡®I was wrong. I should never have brought this woman here.¡® He took a deep breath with his eyes closed and then asked, ¡°So tell me, what did the ghost look like?¡± ¡°I¨CIts face is pale, its mouth red and big, wanting to eat people, and¡­ and its eyebrows are thick.¡± Gilbert frowned, finding her description a little familiar, like he had seen it somewhere before. ¡°It¡­ It justughed at me in that mirror, a creepyugh, with that big red mouth trying to eat me.¡± ¡®In the mirror?

Now, upon taking a closer look, he found she looked exactly like what she had described: pale face, blood red mouth, and thick and long eyebrows. He could not help but sneer, as angry as he was amused. He put on a serious face, held back his emotions, and asked her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 524 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 524 Chapter 524 I Want to Sleep With You ¡°You are wearing makeup in the middle of the night. Who is it for?¡± Kisa looked at him. ¡°For you.¡± Gilbert stared at her face, which looked slightly funny, and said nothing. ¡°I heard someone say that men like beautiful women. After I put on makeup, I will be beautiful, and you will like me.¡± N?velDrama.Org holds this content. It tugged at his heartstring. He looked into her clear eyes and asked faintly, ¡°Why do you want me to like you? So you can use it to toy with me?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°I just want you to like me,¡± she said, cupping her face that had a thickyer of foundation, and asked expectantly, ¡°Do you think I look good like this?¡± Seeing her expectant eyes, Gilbert lied through his teeth by saying, ¡°Yes.¡± Kisa broke into a smile happily and leaned her face with an exaggerated makeup close to him. ¡°Do you like me then?¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and could no longer fudge. He said expressionlessly, ¡°No.¡± Kisa¡¯s smile instantly copsed, and she muttered, not too happy, ¡°I knew it. You like those hussies.¡± Gilbert did not bother to talk to her. He was not sure if all women were so unreasonable when they were drunk. He looked at the time; it was almost two in the morning. There were a lot of things he had to deal with in the office tomorrow, so he could not keep herpany any longer. ¡°There is no ghost here. If there is, it is you.¡± Kisa did not seem to understand and stared at him ignorantly. He did not bother to say more, just uttered indifferently, ¡°Okay, it iste. I¡¯m going to bed, you go to bed too.¡± With that, he walked outside, but Kisa tugged at him again. Gilbert was annoyed and could not help but yell, ¡°What else do you want?¡± His yelling stunned her, and she felt aggrieved. ¡°I¡¯m scared. I want to sleep with you.¡± ¡°No way.¡± Gilbert refused. ¡®Heh, she wants to sleep with me? Isn¡¯t that torturing me?¡® Kisa did notply, and tugged at his arm tighter, clinging to him. ¡°I want to sleep with you, I¡¯m afraid. That ghost is going to crawl in through the window again, I¡¯m afraid.¡± Gilbert clenched his fist before loosening it, repeating the same actions as he tried hard to fight back the anger. He then used his other hand to push her. But she seemed to use all her strength, clinging to his arm. No matter how hard he pushed, she refused to let go. Gilbert let out a sardonic smile. ¡°You really want to sleep with me?¡± Kisa opened her eyes wide and nodded at him. He suddenly smiled coldly, with an evil look in his eyes. ¡°Then don¡¯t regret it when you wake up tomorrow.¡± His hand went through the bend of her legs and carried her up at once. Kisa hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck and clung to him tightly. The feeling of dependence made the man¡¯s heart, which he had tried so hard to restrain, pound again. Putting the woman on the bed, he forced himself on her, kissing her with a sense of revenge. Kisa looked at him, her eyes widening. She felt his kisses ufortable and suffocated, even her lips hurt. She hit him on the shoulders, but it felt like tickles to him. As Gilbert did not let go of her at all, she became angry, struggling, resisting, and whimpering. Her resistance finally annoyed Gilbert, and he got up slightly and ripped her clothes off angrily. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 525 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 525 Chapter 525 Go Find Another Man It reminded him of that day when he saw her angry and resistant expression. The wound in his chest from her stab hurt again. He suddenly smiled in a self¨Cdeprecating way. ¡®I have to use force every time I want to get intimate with her. How ridiculous! How ironic!¡® He got up abruptly and looked out the window with his arms akimbo, feeling bitter. Kisa propped herself up and tilted her head to look at him. When he did not turn around even after a long while, she could not resist tugging at his clothes. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± He growled in disgust and swatted away her hand in repulsion. Kisa flinched back at his yell. She bit her lip and hugged her knees as she looked at him with a touch of aggrievement mixed with stubbornness on her face. Gilbert took a deep breath and turned to look at her. ¡°Don¡¯t make such a face like I have bullied you. If you don¡¯t like me, why are you sticking to me? Why bother wooing and tempting me? Do you think this kind of rtionship game is fun? I¡¯m telling you, I won¡¯t entertain you anymore. If you want to y, then go find another man. I will never have the slightest bit of affection for you again.¡± He gave her a disdainful look, turned around, and walked outside, then mmed the door shut behind him. His action startled Kisa. She stared nkly at the door, tears falling down involuntarily. She hurriedly raised her hand to wipe them away, but she got a handful of foundation. Back in the room, Gilbert waspletely sleepless. He leaned against the window and puffed away, his expression looking grave. ¡®Every time when I was determined to ignore her, she kepting back to woo me. What exactly does she want? ying with me?¡¯ He chuckled, his eyes looking frostier and frostier. The next day at noon, Kisa finally woke up. She rubbed her sore temples and slowly sat up in bed. Looking at the unfamiliar yet somewhat at¨Chome environment, she was transfixed for a long time before recognizing that this was The Sandy Bay, the ce at where Madalyn had previously recuperated. ¡®So it was Gilbert who brought me here?¡® She clutched her head and tried to recall what had happenedst night. She remembered that yesterday evening, after Adrien left, she drank a lot more because of her grief. When she came out of the bistro, she felt groggy, wandering in the street, and vaguely remembered a man harassing her. Then someone who might be Davian saved her and shoved her into a car. She couldn¡¯t remember what happened after that. She could only recall some vague images. Kisa closed her eyes and kneaded her temples. She was really sick all over, inside and out, from the hangover. She leaned on the headboard for a long while, and only when her head was clearer did she get out of bed. But as soon as her foot hit the floor, a sharp pain came from one side of her ankle, causing her to gasp. She looked at her foot and frowned, as she found it had swollen. ¡®Strange! How did I injure my foot?¡® She vaguely remembered that she fell off a boulder but could not remember why she had climbed onto it. She endured the pain in her ankle and limped toward the bathroom. When she reached the bathroom doorway, she was shocked. It panicked her to see the mess inside. ¡®Who did all this? Could it be¡­ could it be me? Did I do this while I was drunk?¡® The more she thought about it, the more panicked she was. She wiped the cold sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand, only to find the stain of foundation and ck of eyebrow pencil on the back of her hand.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 526 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 526 Chapter 526 I¡¯ll Pay You Back It shocked Kisa for a moment. ¡®W-What happened?¡® She hurriedly looked around and found a dressing mirror over by the closet. She couldn¡¯t care less about the pain in her ankle and hurried over to the mirror. When she saw herself in the mirror, she shrieked in fright. ¡®Who did this? Who made my face look like this?¡® The makeup of the woman in the mirror was crude and garish, and because after sleeping all night, that makeup looked even messy. Gilbert didn¡¯t see me like this, did he?¡® Biting her lip in embarrassment, she turned around and rushed into the bathroom. It was a mess inside, where the pieces of shattered mirror were all over the floor and toiletries on the countertop were strewn on the floor. She searched the floor before finding a face wash in the corner. She hurriedly scrubbed her face several times with the face wash and then ran to the dressing mirror again. Looking at the clean face in the mirror, she sighed with relief. She looked at her body again; she was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.¡® Gilbert must have left me in this room alone. Good! It would have been super embarrassing had he bathed and helped me get changedst night.¡® The vi was quiet, and she did not know if Gilbert was there, and she hoped he was not. Otherwise, she would not know how to face him. She sorted her hair and clothes, then dragged her painful ankle downstairs. When she came to the living room, she saw Gilbert sitting at the dining table with his back to her. She pursed her lips and hesitated for a long while before walking over to him. He was still wearing his sleeping robe. There were a few dishes on the table, as well as two bowls of soup, all packed in boxes, which should be the takeaway he ordered. Gilbert ate silently, as if he did not see her. She thought for a moment and asked tentatively, ¡°T- That bathroom¡­ Did I do that?¡± ¡°There is only you and me in this house. You were drunkst night. Tell me who did that.¡± His answer was obvious. Kisa struggled internally for a moment and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will pay you for the things I have broken.¡± Gilbert did not even bat an eyelid. ¡°Whatever,¡± he replied indifferently. Kisa lowered her eyes and stared at the two bowls of soup on the table, and could not help but lick her lips. She was not hungry, but she just wanted to drink those two bowls of soup, and maybe eat something light. Especially since she was dehydrated now. Perhaps sensing her gaze on the food, Gilbert looked at her expressionlessly, ¡°Sit down and eat if you want.¡± His voice still sounded distant. Kisa licked her dry lips once again. ¡°It is okay. I¡¯m not hungry.¡± ¡°Suit yourself.¡± Again, he said coldly and continued his meal with his head lowered. But after only taking two bites, he suddenly put down the cutlery and cleaned up the food on the table. Kisa saw him dump all those leftovers into the trash, including the two bowls of soup. She stood holding the edge of the table, feeling bad. Since she had stabbed him that day, he had indeed be more indifferent toward her. After Gilbert cleared the table, he looked up at her and said in a faint voice, ¡°Davian saw you being harassed on the streetst night. He rescued you and put you in my car. You were so drunk that I was worried you would scare Andrew and Ada, so I brought you over here. Since you are sober now, you can now leave.¡± He spoke to her as if he was talking to a stranger. Kisa could not describe her feelings right now. She should obviously hate him, but facing the man and his attitude, her hatred suddenly lost its strength,All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. seemingly powerless. She said nothing, turned around, and limped outside the house. The Sandy Bay was so remote that it was almost impossible to get a taxi. She had no choice but to drag her aching ankle along, taking one step at a time. She did not want him to give her a ride. Gilbert¡¯s eyes swept over her injured ankle. He leaned on the edge of the table and lit a cigarette, then took a drag and puffed out a ring of smoke. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 527 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 527 Chapter 527 She¡¯s the Woman You Love ¡°I will take Andrew and Ada back to the Kooper residence in a couple of days,¡± Gilbert said. Kisa froze for a long while before saying in a faint voice, ¡°Okay.¡± The two children should have gone back to the Kooper residence a long time ago. But remembering all the time she had spent with them together, she still felt sad at the thought of them leaving. She took a few breaths and inched outside, holding back the pain in her feet. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert looked at her slow and clumsy movement and was irritated. He took a drag and said coldly, ¡°Why are you walking so slowly? Is it because you don¡¯t feel like leaving?¡± Kisa was agitated. But she still bit her lip and tried to walk faster. Her foot was almost kaput, but she just gritted her teeth and endured it, refraining from making a sound. Gilbert felt even more upset and looked away from her when Kisa picked up her pace. Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of braking in the courtyard. He squinted and looked out. The Sandy Bay was a ce where no one but him hade since his grandmother left. Davian had been assigned to do other things and would note here either. So he wondered who could havee at this moment. His cold eyes swept over Kisa as he straightened up and strode toward the door. His legs were long, and he walked fast, overtaking Kisa. Just as he reached the door, he saw Jensen getting out of the car anding his way with a smile, which was always so gentle, just like when he was young. ¡°I¡¯m here to pick up Kisa.¡± Jensen spoke gently, stating the purpose of his visit. Gilbert said nothing, just stood in the doorway and smoked. After a while, Kisa came up from behind. Jensen frowned when he saw her limping. He quickly came forward and looked at her swollen ankle. ¡°What is going on?¡± Kisa subconsciously nced at Gilbert, who was still leaning sideways against the door, his demeanor lackadaisical with a slight look of sneer and indifference on his face. Kisa lowered her eyes and whispered to Jensen, ¡°I fell.¡± Although she could not remember clearlyst night and the pictures in her head were blurred, she could still vaguely remember that she fell off a boulder. Jensen looked grave. He stepped forward and carried her up in his arms. His action startled her, and she wanted to refuse. But when she caught a glimpse of Gilbert¡¯s sneering face, she instantly thought better of it. She was already in such an embarrassing situation, and her ankle was hurting like hell that she was in a cold sweat, so she thought there was the point of trying to be tough. If her ability did not allow, any bravado she had was just a joke to Gilbert. ¡°Why are you so careless?¡± Jensen looked at Kisa with distress, and could not help but reproach her with concern. Kisa smiled apologetically. ¡°I drank too muchst night. I won¡¯t do it again.¡± Jensen sighed and looked at Gilbert. ¡°Thanks to you for taking care of herst night.¡± Gilbert puffed out a ring of smoke with a snort ofughter. ¡°She is the woman you love. So it wouldn¡¯t be right for me, as a brother, to see a drunken woman being harassed by a man on the street and not take care of her, would it?¡± Jensen stared at Kisa with a look of self¨Crecrimination. And Kisa only felt a little embarrassed. She quietly tugged on his sleeve. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Jensen nodded and carried her to the car. Gilbert¡¯s voice came with a sneer of disgust as soon as he ced Kisa in the car. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 528 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 528 Chapter 528 Don¡¯t Let Her Get Drunk In Front of Me ¡°Keep an eye on her, don¡¯t let her get drunk in front of me.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes were downcast, her hand clenched tightly. She was awash with embarrassment and unknown emotions, feeling suffocated. Had she been a bit soberst night, she would never, ever have bothered Gilbert. Jensen nced at her, feeling conflicted. He then looked back at Gilbert with a light smile. ¡°Sure.¡± The car drove away. Gilbert stared expressionlessly at it until it disappeared from sight, then he ruthlessly stubbed out his cigarette and turned around to enter the house. Inside the car, Jensen grasped the steering wheel with one hand and tugged at his tie with the other. Kisa looked at him sideways. He was pursing his lips and looked tired. She also noticed that he was still wearing yesterday¡¯s clothes and suddenly remembered Mia¡¯s car ident. She straightened up and asked, ¡°Is Miss Fallon okay?¡± ¡°She is fine. She just hurt her leg.¡± Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Kisa was relieved to hear this, and her straight back softened again, leaning leisurely against the back of the seat. ¡°Then let¡¯s go see her now.¡± ¡°You injured your foot. You need to rest. I will take you home.¡± Seeing her terribly swollen ankle, his heart pulsed with self¨Ccondemnation. ¡®I should have gone to herst night immediately after making sure Mia¡¯s life was not in danger. I didn¡¯t even know that she was drunk, much less that she was harassed in the street. Had Gilbert not bumped into her, I couldn¡¯t imagine what would have happened to a drunken woman wandering the streets like that.¡®. Kisa looked at her increasingly swollen ankle and smiled at him. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I will just put some medication on itter. Let¡¯s go see Miss Fallon.¡± Jensen suddenly slowed the car to the side. Kisa looked at him in surprise. ¡°What is wrong?¡± Jensen pursed his lips and was silent for a long while. ¡°Yesterday, I should have apanied you to see Mr. Tanner.¡± ¡°It is okay. Miss Fallon met with a car ident. You should go see her first and keep an eye on her,¡± she said nonchntly. Herck of concern disappointed him. She had never been jealous of Mia, not in the slightest, which made him most powerless and frustrated. Fearing that Jensen was still ming himself, Kisa hurriedly added, ¡°It was okay that I went to see Mr. Tanner alone. Although I was a little nervous when I first went there and didn¡¯t know how to talk to him about what happened five years ago, I didn¡¯t expect him to be much more amiable than I thought.¡± ¡®Amiable?¡® Jensen sneered at the description and let out a subtle, self¨Cdeprecating smile.¡± And did he say anything to you about the fire five years ago?¡± ¡°He said he didn¡¯t find out who was behind that fire back then, but he said the warden must know something, and next, he would help me find that warden.¡± Jensen stared straight ahead. Winter had arrived. After the chilly windst night, withered leaves covered the roadsides, which were lined with maple trees with leaves hanging¡® sparsely on the branches, looking deste. Jensen tapped on the car window as he asked in a low voice, ¡°What would you do if the final oue of the investigation points to Gilbert as the one behind the prison fire?¡± Kisa subconsciously clutched the seat belt. She thought of the poor baby in the photo, telling herself that if it was really Gilbert, she would never forgive him. ¡°If it is really him, I will avenge my child with my life.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 529 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 529 Chapter 529 Will It Have a Long-Term Sequ? Jensen turned to look out the window. Feeling depressed and wanting to say something, but good sense told him not to. In the end, he said nothing and started the car again. ¡°Let me take you to the hospital.¡± Kisa nodded, clutching the seat belt in her hand, not making a sound. She still hoped that Gilbert was not behind the fire, for no other reason than because of Andrew and Ada, whom she genuinely loved even though they were not her children. She did not want to go to the point where she and Gilbert were killing each other, as that would be too devastating to the two children. When she arrived at the hospital, Jensen did not take her to see Mia. Instead, he brought her to the surgery clinic to look at her ankle. The surgeon was an older doctor. He gently squeezed Kisa¡¯s red and swollen ankle and shook his head. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Jensen instantly frowned and asked in a grave voice, ¡°How is it? Is it serious?¡± ¡°Serious is an understatement. If she doesn¡¯t take care of it from now on, I¡¯m afraid she will end up with a lifelong sequ.¡± ¡°How can that be?¡± Kisa quickly said, ¡°I just fell. Not that serious, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Humph! You came toote. The moment I saw how much your ankle had swollen, I knew you must have walked a lot without taking care of your injury,¡± the doctor said, and then reproached her some more in anger. ¡°You young people don¡¯t take it for granted. Your foot is swollen so much, and you still act like nothing is wrong. If you don¡¯t treat this immediately, you won¡¯t be able to run in the future.¡± It shocked Kisa to hear that. Her face turned pale, and she smiled nervously, ¡°I¨CIt is not as serious as you said, isn¡¯t it?¡± Seeing the doctor¡¯s face darkened, Jensen patted her on the shoulder, and looked at the doctor with a grave face. ¡°Can it be healed, and after she recovers, will it leave behind any sequ?¡± The doctor took a closer look at her swollen ankle. ¡°If I¡¯m right, this is not the first time you have injured your ankle.¡± Kisa was transfixed, and she started to recall her memory. After experiencing the fire and meeting Gilbert again, Gilbert caught and locked her up in the garret. At that time, in order to escape, she jumped from the garret and sprained her ankle. She was so ill at the time that her body could fail at any time. So she didn¡¯t pay attention to the sprained ankle, not even apply any medication. Later, that ankle had never fully recovered. All she knew was that from then on, every time she sprinted, her ankle would hurt like hell. She nodded at the doctor. ¡°I sprained it once half a year ago, but I didn¡¯t see a doctor or apply any medications.¡± The doctor sighed helplessly. ¡°You young people don¡¯t know how to take care of yourselves. All right, treatment starts today. Don¡¯t move around during treatment.¡± ¡°Will it have a long¨Cterm sequ?¡± Jensen was most worried about this. The doctor grunted, ¡°You¡¯re afraid now?¡± Seeing their grave faces, the doctor said, ¡°As long as you follow the treatment regime and fully recover, there shouldn¡¯t be any seque. But she didn¡¯t treat her last sprained ankle in time, plus she walked a lot with a sprained ankle, so her situation is a bit serious.¡± Jensen nodded and soon went to get her a wheelchair. Kisa looked at it and did not know whether to laugh or cry. ¡°I can walk on one foot.¡± ¡°Sit in it.¡± Jensen¡¯s face darkened, and he stared at her. ¡®Who says gentle people are not intimidating? The gentler a person is, the scarier he is when his face darkens.¡¯ Kisa pursed her lips and sat down on the wheelchair obediently. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 530 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 530 Chapter 530 Don¡¯t Let Her Walk Around The doctor massaged Kisa¡¯s ankle with his unique technique, and Kisa almost cried out in pain. Jensen looked on, anxious. He wanted to ask the doctor to be gentler, but was afraid that it would be ineffective. Kisa was sweating from the pain as if she had gone through a torture. ¡°The fluid in your ankle has to be pushed out of your ankle. When the swelling subsides, I will have to see if your bones are also injured,¡± the doctor said, turning around to dispense the prescription. Jensen took a tissue to wipe the sweat from Kisa¡¯s forehead. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Jensen sounded anxious. Kisa nodded. ¡°I¡¯m still holding up.¡± Jensen stroked her head, feeling sorry for her. ¡°You must be more careful next time. Don¡¯t be so restless.¡± Kisa looked nonplussed. ¡®He thought I was as restless as a child, so I fell?¡® Just as she was about to say something, a teasing halfugh came from the doorway. ¡°I thought you were here to see me. It turns out that you hurt your foot, too. Mia was leaning against the door with her cane, a pair of nted eyes drifting back and forth over Kisa¡¯s foot. ¡°We dide to¡­¡± ¡± ¡°Why are you down on the floor?¡± Jensen asked, frowning at her before Kisa could finish her sentence. Mia smiled self¨Cdeprecatingly. ¡°I saw youing to the hospital from the window a long time ago, but I didn¡¯t see youing to see me. I didn¡¯t know that you came to the hospital because of her.¡± Kisa wanted to exin something, but the doctor had already finished writing the prescription and handed it to Jensen. ¡°Apply it externally, three times a day, and keep an eye on her. Don¡¯t let her walk around.¡± Jensen nodded, thanked him, and pushed Kisa out the door. As she passed by Mia, Kisa felt like she was on pins and needles. After all, her injuries were less serious; she had just fallen. But Mia was different; she had been in a car ident, and one of her lower legs was still in a cast, held in ce by a wooden nk. Kisa was not sure if it was an illusion; she felt a hint of hostility from Mia. She quickly gripped the wheelchair¡¯s handrails, tilted her head, and said to Jensen, ¡°I¡¯m fine. I can push the wheels myself. You go help Miss Fallon back to the ward.¡± Seeing Kisa deliberately distanced herself from him, Jensen tried hard to collect his emotions. He then said nothing and reached out to help Mia. Kisa finally sighed with relief. Back at Mia¡¯s ward, Jensen sat Mia on the bed, and then he took two steps back and leaned against the window. Kisa came to the bedside in her wheelchair, and when she saw the sneer on Mia¡¯s face, she felt depressed and awkward. When she was in Raworth, she thought Mia was chatty, and she felt happy andfortable to be friends with her. But for some reason, after returning to Calthon, she found it hard to understand what Mia was thinking. Mia¡¯s smoking urge came again. She felt around her body before asking Jensen, ¡°Do you have a cigarette?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°May I have one?¡± Jensen frowned in displeasure. ¡°No smoking in the ward. You may smoke outside.¡± ¡°Heh, do you sound like you are talking to an injured person? I saw you were very gentle with Kisa.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong. He is just taking care of me like a brother to a sister.¡± Kisa did not know how to exin, so she found a random thing to say. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Mia covered her mouth and snickered. ¡°You want to be a sister, but someone doesn¡¯t want to be a brother.¡± Kisa subconsciously looked at Jensen; his expression did not look too good. She lowered her eyes and secretly gripped the armrest of her wheelchair. ¡®Perhaps I shouldn¡¯t havee to see Mia today, or more precisely, I shouldn¡¯t havee to see Mia with Jensen.¡¯ Mia did not smoke, and she looked upset and her eyes drifted back toward Kisa¡¯s injured foot. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 531 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 531 Chapter 531 Want to Go to a Spa? ¡°Kisa,¡± Mia suddenly called out to Kisa. Kisa subconsciously looked up at her. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°There really are so many coincidences in this world,¡± Mia said. Kisa looked at her, not knowing what she meant by that. Mia continued. ¡°Look, I broke my leg in a car ident, and then you sprained your ankle. Who do you think Jensen should take care of?¡± ¡®She seems to have misunderstood me, thinking I sprained my ankle on purpose so that Jensen could take care of me.¡¯ Kisa looked at Mia with a serious face and tried to exin. I didn¡¯t sprain my ankle on purpose. I was drunkst night and identally fell off a boulder.¡± Jensen finally could no longer stand it and looked at Mia. ¡°That is enough.¡± All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Mia smiled and leaned back, her face still gorgeous even in the hospital ward. She smiled gently, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. ¡°I almost died yesterday. You have never been gentle with me like you have been with her.¡± I can¡¯t stand it anymore. I had thought that I would feel content if I could stay by his side. I tried hard not to fight, to be jealous, and to y tricks. But when I saw Jensen always treating Kisa with care and attention, I could not help but be jealous. I¡¯m an ordinary woman. How can I not have felt jealous?¡® Jensen did not want to say anything more to her. He said to Kisa, ¡°It iste. I will drive you home.¡± Kisa nodded and looked at Mia. ¡°You get some rest.¡± Mia did not respond but just looked at her with a faint smile. The way Mia looked at her was no longer as friendly as it used to be. Not long after she left the room, Kisa suddenly gripped the wheelchair¡¯s handrails and forced the wheelchair to stop. Jensen came around to crouch in front of her and looked at her with puzzlement. ¡°What is wrong?¡± ¡°You go stay with Miss Fallon.¡± Kisa looked up at him with a sad expression. ¡°I know I¡¯m not in a position to ask anything of you, but Miss Fallon grew up in Raworth and had no family here in Calthon. You are the only friend she knows. How sad would she be if you were not with her at her most difficult time?¡± With this in mind, Jensen had spent the night in the hospital with Mia yesterday. He swallowed and said, ¡°Let me take you home.¡± As Jensen was about to get up, Kisa moved the wheelchair backward. ¡°No, I can go home by myself. This wheelchair is very light and flexible. I can take a taxi after I leave the hospital, and there is an elevator.¡± Seeing her insistence, Jensen forced a smile. ¡°Okay, you take care.¡± Not wanting to make things difficult for her, he turned around and headed for Mia¡¯s ward. Kisa watched him enter Mia¡¯s ward before she turned back and toward the elevator. It was not until she disappeared into the elevator that Jensen, at the doorway, pulled back his gaze and red at Mia. ¡°You should know that she and I are not possible; you should also know that I¡¯m doing something that hurts her.¡± ¡°So what if you know?¡± A touch of sadness appeared on Mia¡¯s face for the first time. ¡°What you said can¡¯t hide the fact that you love her.¡± Jensen said nothing. He just went to the couch andy down. Mia wanted to say something more, but he suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯m tired. I will take a nap.¡± Mia swallowed and did not dare to continue what she wanted to say. Davian was driving. ¡°Mr. Kooper, it is getting colder by the day, and Mr. Tanner asked us to go to the spa.¡± When he was waiting for a response, he added. ¡°The two people from the J &K Film Group also seem to be invited.¡± Gilbert sat in the front passenger seat,zily flipping through the newspaper. He did not even look up when he said, ¡°Do you want to go for it?¡± ¡°Me?¡± SCREECH! Suddenly, the car screeched to a stop, and Davian looked in shock at the wheelchair, which was only two meters away from the front of the car and then at the person in it. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 532 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 532 Chapter 532 You Suspect I Broke Her Leg? Just as Davian wanted to curse, it shocked him to see the person in the wheelchair. ¡®M- Mrs. Kooper?¡® He looked at the person in the wheelchair for a long time, and after he was sure that it was indeed Kisa, he hurriedly said to Gilbert, ¡°Mr. Kooper, look. I can¡¯t believe that it is Mrs. Kooper. Why is she in a wheelchair?¡± The sudden stop of the car did not make Gilbert look up. Only after hearing Davian finish speaking did he raise his eyes and nce at the front of the vehicle. He was expressionless as he saw the woman in the wheelchair as if she were a stranger. Davian took a cautious look at Gilbert and could not help but ask, ¡°Mr. Kooper, wasn¡¯t Ms. Becker with youst night? What is going on here? Why is she in a wheelchair?¡± ¡°What? You suspect I broke her leg?¡± Gilbert grunted coldly. Davian quickly shook his head and kept his mouth shut, not daring to ask any more questions. In front of the car, Kisa was also startled. She had just crossed the street with her wheelchair when the light turned green. But the light turned red again, as she was only halfway across. Luckily, the car stopped in time. The silver¨Cgray car looked familiar to her, especially the car model and license te number. Kisa did not dare to think about it as the pedestrian crossing light was still red. She hastened to move her wheelchair backward. The good thing was that the car¡¯s owner did note out to scold her. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing. It took her a long while before she finally moved back to the curb. Davian saw through the car window Kisa was struggling with the wheelchair, so he could not help but say to Gilbert, ¡°Ms. Becker has difficulty moving around with her injured leg. Why don¡¯t we give her a ride?¡± ¡°She sprained her ankle and wants to sit in a wheelchair? How pretentious.¡± Davian was stunned. ¡®Just a sprained ankle?¡® He nced at Kisa again and saw her sitting in a wheelchair, quietly waiting for the traffic light. One of her ankles was wrapped up. He thought otherwise because that looked serious, unlike Mr. Kooper¡¯s im that it was a simple sprain. Seeing Gilbert¡¯s not¨Cso¨Cfriendly face, he did not dare to say or ask anything. The cars behind them were ring their horns, but Davian still had no intention of starting the car. Gilbert looked at him with a frown. ¡°Are you going to block the entire street before you move?¡± Davian came back to his senses and hurriedly started the car. Kisa was relieved to see the silver¨Cgray car drive away. It stopped there for a long while, and she thought the driver woulde out to scold her. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Gilbert casually nced in the rearview mirror and saw the woman barging in her wheelchair, crossing the street slowly. He snickered, ¡®How pretentious!¡¯ Kisa heaved a sigh of relief when she finally crossed to the other side of the street. It was winter, yet a thinyer of sweat had popped up on her forehead. At first, she nned to take a taxi in front of the hospital, but there were too many people taking taxis, and she had little chance ofpeting for a cab with others because she was in a wheelchair. She thought of asking Lea toe and pick her up, but knowing Lea was busy with other things, she had thought better of it. She recalled that there was a park near the hospital. Since she could not get a taxi and was not in a hurry to go home, she thought she would go to the park and sit there. The good thing was that the park was not too far ahead, and it was better to get a taxi there. She breathed a sigh of relief, wheeled around, and continued on her way. In the car, Davian¡¯s conversation returned to the spa. ¡°Mr. Kooper, about the spa? Are you going?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 533 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 533 Chapter 533 He Has Also Invited Grandma? Gilbert had the entertainment paper spread out in front of him. Since he saw Kisa just now, the pages stopped turning and he might not have gone through the news in front of him. Davian really wanted to go to the spa. If Gilbert was not going, he, as an assistant, would be awkward to go alone. Having not gotten an answer from Gilbert for a long time, Davian shrugged and said, ¡°It is only getting colder and colder from now on. Going to a spa is good for your health.¡± Gilbert leaned back in the chair, looking out the window in a daze. ¡°You may go if you want to.¡± ¡®What is he talking about? Mr. Tanner is inviting him. How can I, a mere assistant, go alone? ¡®Davian said, ¡°By the way, Mr. Tanner has also invited Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡± Gilbert looked at him with a frown. ¡°He has also invited Grandma?¡± ¡°Yeah. Mrs. Kooper Sr. told me about it this morning, and she is nning to bring Emma, yourst blind date, with her.¡± Gilbert pursed his lips, not looking the least bit happy. Davian nced at him and said warily, ¡°Maybe Mrs. Kooper loves crowds. In fact, at her age-¡± Gilbert¡¯s cell phone rang before Davian could finish his sentence. It was Mrs. Kooper Sr. calling. ¡°Come back early for dinner tonight.¡± ¡°I¡¯m workingte tonight. Enjoy your dinner.¡± ¡°Humph! I have asked Davian, there is rarely anything left to do in thepany recently, so don¡¯t use workingte as an excuse.¡± The telephone conversation had been put on the phone speaker, so when Davian heard what Mrs. Kooper Sr. said, his hands on the steering wheel slipped, causing the car to jerk to one side. Gilbert shot a nce at Davian while saying into the phone, ¡°Alright,¡± before hanging up. Davian quickly exined, ¡°I didn¡¯t betray you. Mrs. Kooper Sr. asked me if there are many things to do at the office lately, so I had to tell her the truth. Besides, when Miss Thompson came to the Kooper residence, you were at the office. When she went to the office, you were hanging out. Your actions are too obvious, and Mrs. Kooper Sr. knows you are avoiding Miss Thompson and is angry with you. If you are not interested in Miss Thompson, you should make it clear to her.¡± ¡°And you know I didn¡¯t make it clear to her?¡± Gilbert sneered. ¡°Then why is Miss Thompson still¡­¡± Davian¡¯s voice was getting softer and softer. ¡°Turn around and go back to the Kooper residence.¡± At the Kooper residence, the car braking sound outside made Mrs. Kooper Sr.e out to meet Gilbert. Emma was standing coyly beside her and stared cautiously at Gilbert. ¡°Grandma.¡± Gilbert greeted as he walked over to Mrs. Kooper Sr. Mrs. Kooper Sr. nodded with an avuncr look on her face. ¡°Are you done with your business?¡± ¡°It has been freetely, nothing much to do.¡± ¡°Then you¡­¡± Realizing that Emma was beside her, Mrs. Kooper Sr. pursed her lips and asked no more questions. But Gilbert had no intention of stopping. He uttered in a tone like he usually did, ¡°I have to stay in the office because I am avoiding someone.¡± Anyone with a good sense could tell what this meant. Emma¡¯s face changed slightly, and she looked at Gilbert, wrung her fingers, and asked him in a whisper, ¡°You don¡¯t want to see me, do you?¡± Gilbert smiled at her casually. ¡°I thought I had made it very clear to you after dinner that day.¡± Emma bit her lip, a little embarrassed. Mrs. Kooper Sr. hurriedly smacked Gilbert on the arm. ¡°What are you talking about? Let¡¯s get inside.¡± She took Emma¡¯s arm affectionately. ¡°Don¡¯t take Gilbert¡¯s words to heart. He always says things off the top of his head. But when he finds out how good you are, he will like you.¡± All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Gilbert snorted and strode into the house. When he saw who was in the house, his already not¨Cso¨C good mood immediately took a sharp nosedive. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 534 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 534 Chapter 534 I¡¯m a Divorced Man There was an elderly woman about the age of his grandmother and a middle¨Caged couple sitting in the living room. Sharon wasing out of the kitchen with some dishes. They were those people whom Gilbert least wanted to meet. As he turned around to leave, Madalyn stepped in front of him. ¡°Since you are back, sit down, and have a good meal with the elders.¡± ¡°Hi, Gilbert. I cooked this meal myself,¡± Sharon said as she walked up to him. Gilbert did not even nce at her but sat down silently on the couch. Standing outside, Davian nced at the scene inside the house and thought, ¡®This is a freaking trap. Just as he was deep in thought, George came out and said, ¡°Davian, your boss asked you to stay for dinner.¡± Davian quickly shook his head. ¡°No, no, no, no. I have something to do. I¡¯m leaving. Please tell Mr. Kooper for me,¡± Davian said and got into the car in a sh. George looked at the car speed away and shook his head in amusement. ¡®Why are they all afraid to have dinner with the elders?¡® ¡°Gilbert, Emma talks about you a lot at home.¡± A middle¨Caged woman smiled at Gilbert as a middle¨C aged man sat next to her. Gilbert looked at them and knew they must be Emma¡¯s parents, while the elderly woman sitting with Gilbert¡¯s grandmother should be Emma¡¯s grandmother. Gilbert leaned back, looking apathetic. ¡°I¡¯m a divorced man. What is there to talk about?¡± The middle¨Caged man could not help but frown, but he said nothing. The middle¨Caged woman chortled. ¡°Gilbert, no need to be so humble. You are divorced but still excellent.¡± Gilbert sneered, his attitude making them ufortable, and Emma looked embarrassed and awkward. Mrs. Thompson Sr. looked at Madalyn with exasperation. ¡°Look at him¡­¡± Madalyn patted her on the shoulder. ¡°Young people are like that. Don¡¯t worry about him. Let¡¯s have dinner, shall we?¡± By now, Sharon had already brought all the food to the table. Even though she had done so many things, Madalyn did not look pleased with her. She ignored Sharon and invited the Thompson family to take their seats. Sharon narrowed her eyes quietly, and after everyone had taken their seats, she found a seat to sit down. Mr. Thompson nced at Sharon and said sarcastically, ¡°No wonder Mr. Kooper doesn¡¯t like Emma. Look, isn¡¯t there an international superstar here?¡± Madalyn¡¯s face darkened slightly. ¡®International superstar? I have allowed her toe here often because she is Gilbert¡¯s childhood friend. Don¡¯t get me wrong.¡® Sharon¡¯s hands under the table clenched into fists. ¡®Damn you, old woman, sooner orter, I will fix you.¡® Despite the vicious thought in her mind, Sharon still smiled like a Cheshire cat. ¡°I heard that you all wereing to visit us today. So I have personally made all these for you all. Please give it a try.¡± ¡°You are rted to the Kooper family and not a maid, yete to the Kooper family to entertain guests. Are you implying that you will be Mrs. Kooper in the future?¡± Mrs. Thompson Sr. grunted, her eyes more scathing than the youngsters nowadays. Sharon was furious inside but still shook her head, trying to please. ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong. oftene over to cook for Gilbert and never thought of it that way.¡± ¡°Just shut up, would you?¡± Madalyn couldn¡¯t help but growl at her. Seeing this, the Thompson family sneered. It had spoiled Madalyn¡¯s good mood, and her face darkened. Gilbert, however, was making nothing of it, silently having his meal. He was the only one who ate with gusto, and no one else had started. Meanwhile, on his way back, Davian drove past a park when he spotted a slightly familiar- looking wheelchair.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 535 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 535 Chapter 535 No Wonder He Said You Were Pretentious Davian¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡®Could it be¡­Ms. Becker?¡¯ The car had passed the person in the wheelchair when he thought of that. He then looked back hastily and said to himself, Oh my, it really is Ms. Becker. Davian quickly parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car, and walked toward the person in the wheelchair. ¡°Ms. Becker..¡± Kisa turned her head subconsciously when she heard the familiar voice. Not only did she see Davian running toward her, she also saw the silver¨Cgray car behind him. She frowned.¡± That¡¯s Davian¡¯s car. I¡¯ve seen him drive it before. No wonder it looked so familiar. If that is Davian¡¯s car, does that mean Gilbert was also in the vehicle when he almost ran into me just now?¡® ¡®It would not be that coincidental, would it?¡® Kisa pursed her lips and tried tofort herself secretly. ¡®There¡¯s no way I¡¯d run into that man every time I¡¯m in a terrible state.¡¯ Just as she was thinking about it, Davian had stood before her. ¡°Ms. Becker, why aren¡¯t you home yet? What are you doing out here?¡± Davian asked while he looked around. ¡°Nothing. I¡¯m just strolling around.¡± Davianughed in surprise. He was not convinced. ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s much to look at here. Plus, you¡¯re in a wheelchair.¡± He then looked at the cast on her leg and asked, ¡°Mr. Kooper told me you had a fall. Is it true?¡± Kisa¡¯s back stiffened. ¡®Why in the world did he tell Davian about the fall?¡® She nodded slightly, and Davian frowned. ¡°Not to be rude, Ms. Becker, but it was just a fall. Why are you in a wheelchair? No wonder Mr. Kooper keeps saying that you¡¯re pretentious. Being in a wheelchair is so inconvenient.¡± Kisa knew that Gilbert must have been in the car when it was about to hit her upon hearing these words. After all, if Davian were the only person in the car, he would have gotten out and talked to her. ¡®Only Gilbert would call me pretentious no matter how badly I was injured. ¡°He¡¯s right. I am pretentious. I just wanted everyone to know that I hurt my leg,¡± Kisa chuckled lightly and said. Davian was taken aback. He did not know what to say. ¡®Although she¡¯s saying it with a smile, I can still hear the self¨Cmockery and anger behind those words.¡® Davian then pursed his lips and smiled at Kisa, ¡°Ms. Becker, it¡¯s gettingte. Let me drive. you home. It¡¯ll be hard to find a ride at this time of day.¡± After finishing speaking, Davian pushed Kisa¡¯s wheelchair toward the car. Seeing his enthusiasm, Kisa did not go against it. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡®He¡¯s right. It¡¯s hard to catch a ride at this time. I¡¯ve waited half an hour for a ride,¡® she thought. ¡®I swear there used to be tons of cabs passing by here. But there were only a few today, and all of them already had passengers.¡® Maybe it was a psychological effect, but when Kisa sat in the front passenger seat, she could vaguely smell the faint scent of tobo that only Gilbert had. ¡°Can I sit in the back?¡± She asked Davian as she wiggled around ufortably. ¡°Oh, but you¡¯re already here. It¡¯s inconvenient for you to move around, so it¡¯ll be better if you just sit where you are,¡± Davian said as he started the car. Kisa lowered her head and sighed, ¡°Forget it. This is fine.¡± The smell of tobo lingered on the tip of Kisa¡¯s nose as they drove around. All she could think about was Gilbert, and that made her upset. She rolled down the window, and a gust of cold wind rushed toward her face, blowing the stench away. ¡°Ms. Becker, it¡¯s winter, you know? Why did you roll down the window? I¡¯m freezing¡± Davian shivered. Kisa ignored his whine but still rolled the window up a bit. She leaned out the window and asked, ¡°You¡¯re the one who almost hit me with a car this afternoon, right?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 536 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 536 Chapter 536 That¡¯s So Exasperating and Shameful Davian froze. ¡°But I missed you, didn¡¯t I? Now I¡¯m driving you home, so we¡¯re even,¡± he said with a smile. ¡°Gilbert was in the car, right?¡± Kisa asked again. Davian nodded subconsciously. ¡°Yeah. If he didn¡¯t stop me, I would have gotten out of the car to talk to you and give you a ride. ¡®He stopped him froming to talk to me?¡® Kisaughed at herself. She looked outside the window and did not say a word. ¡°Mr. Kooper said that you¡¯re pretentious for sitting in a wheelchair after such a minor fall, but I don¡¯t believe that, Ms. Becker. Tell me, it was a bad fall, huh? Have you visited the doctor¡¯s yet?¡± ¡°I did. The doctor said it wasn¡¯t too serious and should be fine in two days,¡± Kisa leaned back and replied. ¡°Like I said, the wheelchair is just so everyone can see how weak I am and pity me.¡± Davian was speechless at Kisa¡¯s thought process because it was something that normal people would not understand. ¡°Ms. Becker, you should stop using this method to solicit sympathy in the future. Mr. Kooper is really disgusted by it,¡± he said in a serious tone. ¡°As if I care what he thinks,¡± Kisa sneered. Davian shook his head helplessly. ¡®It seems that Ms. Becker is different now.¡¯ The car ride was smooth. ¡°Didn¡¯t Gilbert ask you not to drive me around anymore? Aren¡¯t you scared that he¡¯d find out about this ride and cause you trouble?¡± ¡°Oh, he doesn¡¯t have the time for that. He¡¯s struggling with the elders of the Thompson family.¡± ¡°The Thompson family?¡± Kisa frowned. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡°Yeah, Mr. Kooper¡¯s blind date.¡± Kisa then realized that the surname of Gilbert¡¯s blind date was Thompson. ¡®Wow. That¡¯s fast. They¡¯re already meeting the family.¡® ¡°To be honest, Ms. Thompson is really persistent toward Mr. Kooper. However, Mr. Kooper¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯re here,¡± Kisa reminded Davian about her stop before he could finish his words. Davian was taken aback for a moment. He tilted his head and had a look outside. ¡°Oh, we¡¯re actually here. It¡¯s so dark that I didn¡¯t even notice the gate to this ce.¡± ¡°You can just drop me off here. No need to drive in.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I can drive-¡± ¡°Kisa!¡± A familiar voice sounded. Kisa looked over subconsciously and saw Jensen walking toward her. Davian was stunned. ¡°I see there¡¯s no need for me to drive in now,¡± heughed. Jensen opened the car door and carefully carried Kisa out. At first, she wanted to get out of the car herself, but when Jensen was adamant about something, he was even more stubborn than Gilbert. Davian quickly pulled the wheelchair out of the trunk. When he saw how Jensen was carrying Kisa, he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not. ¡°Thanks for the ride,¡± Kisa said. Damian looked at her and then at Jensen. The distance between the two of them was so close that it was hard not to notice it. ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡± he said with a straight face and drove away. Davian had always felt that Gilbert still cared about Kisa, but she was now with Jensen, which made Damian feel bad for Gilbert. ¡®I guess I can¡¯t really match them up now. Otherwise, Mr. Kooper will definitely be the one who gets hurt. Ms. Becker has really be a whole different person. She¡¯s be more heartless and maniptive. Her injury is clearly not that serious, yet she¡¯s in a wheelchair just to gain a man¡¯s sympathy! That¡¯s so exasperating and shameful of her.¡® As Davian thought about that, the image of the Kisa he once knew plummeted instantly. Meanwhile, Jensen pushed Kisa under the streemp and stopped. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 537 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 537 Chapter 537 A National Treasure ¡°Where did you go this afternoon? Why was your phone off? Do you have any idea how worried I was?¡± This was the first time Jensen had ever been mad at Kisa. Jensen¡¯s dark eyes looked like a dark vortex as he stood in front of Kisa with his back to the light that was not so bright to begin with. It made her feel nervous and pressured. It turns out that people can have many emotions. Even someone as gentlemanly and caring as Jensen can have a dark and ominous side. Kisa clenched the armrest of the wheelchair, and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t really go anywhere. I just went to the park near the hospital for a walk. Davian happened to pass by the park and saw me, so he decided to drive me home. As for the phone¡­¡± She quickly took out her phone from her purse and saw that it was off. ¡°I didn¡¯t realize when the battery died,¡± Kisa chuckled. Jensen lost his temper only because he was worried about Kisa. He had always been good at keeping his emotions to himself, but it was different today. He was worried about how Kisa¡¯s leg was doing, and whether she got into an ident or something. It was when he saw her sitting in the car intact, that his worried turned into anger. But no matter how angry he was, his heart softened when he saw the innocent look on Kisa¡¯s face. He then kept quiet, walked around behind her, and continued to push her into the apartment lobby. The atmosphere was dull and depressing. ¡°Have you¡­ had your dinner yet?¡± Kisa licked her chapped lips and asked. ¡°¡­No, not yet.¡± ¡°Me neither. Let¡¯s have dinner when we get back upstairs?¡± Kisa smiled. ¡°Mhm,¡± Jensen replied. Kisa could not help but let out a sigh of relief when she noticed there was no trace of anger left in his tone. What¡¯s strange is that I always fought back when it was Gilbert who lost his temper, but it feels like I¡¯m in the wrong when Jensen gets mad at me, and I never dare to say a word.¡¯ Kisa had a sense of respect for Jensen like she was one of his students. She did not like the dull atmosphere, so when she got on the lift, she said, ¡°Is Ms. Fallon¡¯s leg doing well?¡± ¡°Yes. She can get out of the hospital in a few days and rest up at home.¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°Have the kids eaten yet?¡± ¡°No.¡± Soon, they¡¯ve reached their floor. As soon as they entered the door, the children ran over to them. ¡°Ma¡¯am, you¡¯re back!¡± Ada threw herself into Kisa¡¯s arms. Andrew frowned and stared at her legs, ¡°Ma¡¯am, what¡¯s wrong with your legs? Why are you in a wheelchair?¡± ke on the other hand, did not say anything. He just stared at her legs. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Kisa gently patted their heads and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m fine. I just sprained my ankle. I¡¯ll be up and about after a few days of rest.¡± At that time, Lea came out of the kitchen and joked to her, ¡°Kisa, you¡¯re about to be a national treasure. Look at how everyone in this room treasures you.¡± Kisaughed, ¡°Yeah. I¡¯m so lucky. If these three kids were mine, then I¡¯ll be even luckier.¡± Although it was a joke, Jensen¡¯s expression changed imperceptibly. ke nced at Jensen but stayed silent, while Andrew and Ada stood around Kisa; one on the right, and one on the left. Andrew curled his lips and said, ¡°You can be our mommy right now, but you¡¯re the one who doesn¡¯t want to.¡± ¡°Exactly!¡± Ada pouted, still brooding over Kisa¡¯s reluctance to be their mother. ¡°Don¡¯t forget our three¨C year agreement, Ma¡¯am,¡± she added. ¡®Oh, I almost forgot all about that,¡® Kisa thought. However, considering the situation between her and Gilbert, the three¨Cyear agreement was just a dream. Jensen then pushed Kisa into the house while Andrew and Ada followed by her side. When Kisa looked at them, she remembered that Gilbert had said that he would bring them back to the Kooper family residence in two days. ¡®It would be difficult to meet them in the future if they return to the Kooper family residence,¡¯ she thought. Kisa clenched her fists when the thought of how unlikely it was popped into her mind. ¡®Should I verify this before they go back to the Kooper family residence?¡® Next Chapter Coming Soon... Chapter 538 Chapter 538 Chapter 538 The Maternity Test, Part 1 When Kisa thought about it, her eyes darkened as she looked at Andrew and Ada. She did not dare to think that these two children were hers. But she could always hope, especially after she knew that the two of them were born on New Year''s Eve of that particr year. ''1 have to verify this before I give up.¡¯ "What are you doing looking at Andrew and Ada like that?¡± Jensen asked suddenly, pulling Kisa back from her thoughts. She was startled, but she smiled and said, "N-nothing..." Jensen patted her head gently and said, "You talk to the kids first. I''ll cook." ¡°Okay,¡± Kisa nodded and rolled the wheelchair to the sofa. She was a little absent-minded because she thought of taking a maternity test with Andrew and Ada. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Jensen looked at her with aplex emotion behind his eyes and walked toward the kitchen. Lea had prepared the ingredients, so all that was left for Jensen to do was to cook, which saved a lot of time. After half an hour, Jensen had finished cooking five types of dishes. He put out the dishes one by one and called Kisa and the children to the table. The children were already hungry. They rushed to the dining table immediately when they smelled the aroma of the delicious food in the air. Jensen carefully filled the kid''s tes with food and could not help but call out to Kisa when he saw that she had note yet. Kisa was startled when she heard him call her name. Then, she hurriedly rolled over to the table in the wheelchair. Lea looked at her worriedly and asked, "What''s wrong, Kisa? Why are you so distracted?¡± Kisa shook her head and smiled without saying anything. "Maybe you''re tired. You should eat up and go to bed earlier," Jensen said as he served her a good te. "Yeah." Kisa nodded. Everyone was quietly eating when Jensen suddenly said, "Kisa, Mr. Tanner had invited us to the hot spring in a few days. Do you want to go?" "The hot spring?" Kisa had never soaked in a hot spring before. The weather was cold, and she wanted to go. "But my ankle hasn''t healed yet. Can I still go?" "Sure." "Well, okay then. When exactly did he say we could go?¡± "Next weekend." "Can Ie?¡± Lea said excitedly. "Of course. You''re my assistant, of course you cane,¡± Kisa replied. Suddenly, the three kids put down their chopsticks at the same time. Their actions were so in sync that it looked like someone was controlling their movements with a controller. Kisa looked at them and found them funny. "What''s the matter? Are you guys full?" The three children shook their heads at the same time, making Kisa amused. "We want to go to the hot spring too!¡± Andrew eximed. Hearing that, Kisa subconsciously turned to look at Jensen. Jensen nced at the children and said, "ke cane.¡± ke immediately pped his hands happily while Andrew and Ada pouted unhappily. "Uncle Jensen, why can''t my brother and I go too?" Ada asked in dissatisfaction. Jensen smiled and put some meat onto her te. "They''ve invited your daddy too. You can ask your daddy to see if he''ll go. If he goes, then you go with him. If he isn''t going, then try and ask him to let youe with us.¡± Kisa was stunned that Adrien had invited Gilbert. If she had known that earlier, she wouldn''t have said that she would go. She would rather stay at home than see Gilbert at the hot spring. But it''s toote to go back now. ''Ah, whatever. Gilbert never really liked these types of activities anyway. I don''t even know if he''d go." At night, Kisa tossed and turned as she thought about the maternity test. She could not fall asleep with all her thoughts, so she decided not to sleep. She turned on the wallmp by the bed and hopped to the drawer by the bed with one foot. When she opened the drawer, there was a small wooden box inside. Chapter 539 Chapter 539 Chapter 539 The Maternity Test, Part 2 Kisa took the wooden box and sat on the edge of the bed. She opened it up, and there was a ball of toilet paper inside. There were several strands of hair in the toilet paper¡ªthe short ones were Andrew''s, while the longer ones were Ada''s. Kisa had done her research about maternity tests and found that the results from hair DNA were highly urate. Moreover, she just pulled out these hairs when Andrew and Ada were taking their bath. Kisa felt an unspeakable trace of anxiousness and anticipation when she held the wooden box in the n of her hands. She also felt a hint of fear. ¡®If the maternity test proves that the two children aren''t mine, I''ll stop imagining myself as their mother. But if they really are my children, then how should I deal with the blood feud between Gilbert and I?'' Kisa was in turmoil all night. ¡®Honestly, I¡¯d be willing to let go of the past and the fire that happened five years ago if they really are my kids. I''d even be willing to forgive that man,¡¯ she thought. Kisa thought about what would happen all night, so she did get even an ounce of sleep. The next morning, she heard noisesing from the kitchen, the voices of the children talking and laughing. For a moment, she thought it was Gilbert who was making breakfast. It was not until she heard Jensen''s voice that she remembered Jensen had asked for the key to her cest night to take care of things for her. ¡®He must be here to make breakfast for the kids and send them to schoolter.¡¯ Although Kisa was awake, she did not move. She felt extremely tired, but she could not fall asleep, so she listened to the noise outside trying to figure out what they were doing. After an unknown amount of time, she heard the front door opening. Then, there was the sound of the door closing. The apartment slowly became quiet once again.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Kisa stared nkly at the ceiling and decided to get out of bed. She was not feeling great due to not sleeping the whole night. But since she was set about the maternity test, she had to do it as soon as possible to calm her restless heart. When she left the room, she saw the note on the clean dining table, "I''m off to send the kids to school. There''s warm breakfast in the pot. Remember to eat it. Don''t go anywhere. I''ll take you to the hospital for a check-up when I return.¡± Jensen''s handwriting was somewhat simr to Gilbert''s, but the former''s handwriting was much smootherpared to thetter, whose handwriting showed persistence. Kisa wheeled to the kitchen and took her breakfast out of the pot. There was a ss of soy milk, a sandwich, and a hardboiled egg. Kisa returned to the dining table and started eating. As she was gobbling down the food, she thought of how she was going to go to the hospitalter. She did not want to go to the hospital with Jensen because of the maternity test. She did not want to let anyone know about it. Kisa then lowered her gaze and looked at her ankle. Although the swelling had subsided a little, it still looked quite swollen. I might as well just catch a cab in this wheelchairter,¡¯ she sighed helplessly, knowing that she might not be able to drive a car in her condition. To prevent Jensen froming along, she finished her breakfast in a few bites and put the wooden box¡ªwhich also contained her own hair¡ªinto her bag. She had put it in when she got out of bed. She put the bag on herp and rolled the wheelchair toward the door. As soon as she reached the door, she heard a knocking from the other side. Chapter 540 Chapter 540 Chapter 540 Waiting She slightly furrowed her brows and thought, ¡®Jensen wouldn''t return so quickly. On second thought, Jensen has the keys to this house. If he came home, he also wouldn''t need to knock on the door.¡¯ She held onto her wheelchair and stood up on a single foot to go open the door. Following the opening of the door, Lea appeared by the entrance of the door with a full smile on her face, "Kisa, I''m here. Is your leg getting better?" Lea even brought some fruits and snacks over. Kisa sat back into the wheelchair, looking at her incredulously, "why''d youe?" The Legend of Luna was done with filming, so Lea had the equivalent of a long holiday, she usually had nothing to do, so she would note over. Besides, she also had rented another house elsewhere and no longer lived with her. Lea carried the snacks and fruits back in, "I was worried about you. | know Mr. Kooper has to send the kids to school and be busy with the affairs at thepany. | was afraid he would not have the time to take care of you, so | came over. Besides, your legs are disabled. It''d be inconvenient for you to go anywhere by yourself. | came over to apany you and cure your boredom. If you have anything to do, tell me and I''ll do it instead." Kisa, upon hearing this, felt warmth in her heart. That way, she would only need to hail a cab by the roadside with difficulty. She would be okay with Lea sending her to the hospital. She spoke to Lea, " My leg needs a follow-up check today. Could you send me to the hospital?" Lea repeatedly nodded her head, " Alright." Arriving at the hospital, Kisa did not go to the orthopedic department. Instead, she went to the forensics department. Lea followed behind her all the way while pushing her wheelchair, her face filled with puzzlement. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. "Kisa, isn''t this the wrong department?" Kisa shook her head, she then pressed on the wheels of the wheelchair, forcing it to a stop. She gave it a thought, but she still decided to tell Lea the truth, since they have already arrived at the hospital. Kisa was even going to give the doctor that strand of her hair for the paternity test and Lea would be by her side the entire time, so it would be almost impossible to hide the truth from her. ¡°Lea, actually... | came here for the main purpose of wanting to do a forensic verification." Lea stared at Kisa, confused, " What kind of verification?" "| suspect... Andrew and Ada are my children," Kisa said. "What?" Lea shouted wide-eyed, she gulped, as if trying to digest the information. Kisa looked at her shocked look and couldn''t help but find it funny, " You don''t have to be so dramatic. As | said, | only suspect." Lea gulped down her saliva, " Based on what you said, are you thinking of doing a maternity test for Ada and Andrew?" Kisa nodded her head, "Regardless of the result, having my doubts answered will stop me from obsessing over it. It''ll be a weight off my mind. Lea pursed her lips, and her silent expression signaled she had something to say, but she kept silent. Kisa looked at the time with a slight dy, and it had reached half past nine. She pulled at Lea''s arm, " Quickly, give the doctor this hair first, then we will talk.¡± "Mhm..."¡± Lea nodded her head and hastily pushed her toward the forensics department. Reaching the forensics department, Lea said, " Kisa, I''ll go to the washroom first. You can go in and talk with the doctor about the situation yourself.¡± "Mhm, go quickly then." Watching Lea walk toward the toilet, Kisa pushed her wheelchair toward the forensics department''s offices. Entering the forensics office, Kisa first spoke to the doctor about her situation and gave the wooden box to the doctor. The doctor took out some forms for her to fill in. she needed to fill in all the essential information for the person being evaluated. After waiting for her to fill in the data, the doctor informed her toe back at two in the afternoon to take the results. ¡®Wait again!¡¯ Kisa thought, and her mood couldn''t help but feel slightly restless. Walking out from the forensics office, Lea had yet toe back. Kisa waited for a while longer, but still had yet to see her. She pushed her wheelchair and rushed toward the washroom. Suddenly, she heard someone yell her name. "Kisa!" Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 541 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 541 Chapter 541 Reality Doesn¡¯t Follow My Wishes But surprisingly, Lea shouted out for her from behind. She turned around, astonished, then saw Lea walking toward her in a rushed manner. ¡°Didn¡¯t you go to the toilet? Why did youe back in from the outside?¡± Kisa asked. ¡°Oh, this toilet had too many people. I went somewhere else to do my business.¡± Kisa did not suspect a thing and only said to her, ¡± Let¡¯s go. Push me to the orthopedics department.¡± Lea nodded and pushed the wheelchair in another direction. Kisa did not notice the troubled look in her eyes. ¡°Kisa, when will the result for the verificatione out?¡± ¡°We came here a bitte. The doctor told me toe and get the result by half past two.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Kisa answered and walked out the forensics department doors. She unconsciously nced to the back. Her mind reverberated the cruel words the man told her, ¡± If you don¡¯t bring me back any useful information, then don¡¯t you dare show your face in front of me in the future.¡± At the corner of the walls, the man had a cigarette hanging in his mouth. He leanedzily on the wall, and his pair of elongated cruel eyes stared at Lea with a light chuckle. Lea returned her gaze while her palms were sweating. She anxiously licked her lips, ¡± Kisa, what do you hope the verification results will be?¡± ¡°Reality doesn¡¯t follow my wishes. I¡¯ll just go with the flow. Regardless of the results, I will ept them both.¡± Upon hearing this, Lea calmed down. She pushed Kisa and walked swiftly to the orthopedics department. Just as they reached the orthopedics offices, Jensen¡¯s phone called in. Kisa hurriedly picked up. ¡°Where are you?¡± Jensen¡¯s tone had a hint of worry. Kisa¡¯s lips twitched. Should she have left him a note or given him a call when she came out? She spoke in a low tone,¡± I¡¯m having my follow¨Cup at the hospital for my leg wounds. Lea apanied me here.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be there immediately.¡± Kisa didn¡¯t want Jensen toe to the hospital because of her. If Mia saw this, she feared it would be a wrong thought. She quickly said, ¡°No need. By the time you came here, I was afraid I would¡¯ve finished my follow¨Cup check. Why don¡¯t you rest at home ore and keep Ms. Fallonpany?¡± The other end of the call was suddenly quiet. Kisa did not know what to say. Hearing his slightly suppressed breathing, she knew he was definitely unhappy. She felt more and more sure that some type of change had happened to the rtionship between her and Jensen. It was no longer like the innocent days of their youth, pure and wless. She did not like these changes. They made her feel depressed. They both stayed silent, quietly counting the seconds. Jensen then suddenly spoke calmly, ¡°Alright.¡± His voice was usually so calm and pleasant, but this time his voice had a hint of sorrow and grimness. Jensen hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Kisa lightly sighed, leaving a bad taste in her heart. The rtionship between her and Gilbert was already bad enough. She did not want the bond between Jensen and her to turn sour too. The elderly orthopedic doctor was the same asst time and rubbed her swollen ankle as hard as he could. Kisa was in so much pain that tears welled in her eyes. Lea also felt the pain just from watching it beside her. The elderly doctor huffed, ¡°Everything in here is all bruises. Without rubbing them to relieve them then, the swelling won¡¯t cease. In fact, it¡¯s like this because you didn¡¯t take good care of it when you first got injured. Kisa bit down on her lower lip and finally finished enduring the torture. When the doctor helped to change the salve for her ankles, Lea couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°We won¡¯t need to rub it like this again tomorrow, right?¡± ¡°You still need to rub it for another three days. When the swelling stops, you still have to do an X¨Cray. If the bones in there were broken, the treatment for it would be even more troublesome.¡± Kisa looked to the sky as if losing the will to live. She did not hear the rest of what the elderly doctor said and only heard, ¡°You still need to rub it for another three days.¡± ¡®Another three more days! Three more days!¡® She swore that she would never treat her injuries with such carelessness in the future ever again. After looking at the wounds, Kisa did not return home immediately but had a meal with Lea at a nearby restaurant. By the time they finished lunch, it was close to one o¡¯clock. Kisa and Lea purposedly stayed until two at the restaurant, then went back to the hospital.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 542 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 542 Chapter 542 Conclusion Outside the forensics office, Kisa anxiously twiddled her fingers. Her results were not out yet, and the doctor was making her wait longer. She looked at the clock on the wall, and her mood grew more and more restless. She hated waiting, especially for the types of waiting where the results were unknown. Every minute and every second was an ordeal. Lea patted her shoulder tofort her, ¡± Kisa, don¡¯t be hasty. The results shoulde out very soon.¡± Kisay back in the wheelchair, not making a sound. Lea looked at her anxious and fearful expression while her eyes shed a glint ofplexity. Finally, the forensics office¡¯s door opened, and a doctor holding a file case came out shouting, ¡°Ms. Kisa Becker!¡± Kia was shocked and quickly pushed her wheelchair toward him. ¡°Your maternity test report is out. Take it,¡± the doctor said. Kisa took over the file case, her heart trembling. Lea saw that she wasn¡¯t in a hurry to open it, so she asked Kisa, ¡°You¡¯re not going to look at it?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Kisa squeezed the edges of the file case. Her fingers shook lightly, and her heart filled with hesitation and nervousness.¡± Lea pushed her out of the forensics department and came to a plot of grass in the hospital. The sun today was great, and the yard had a lot of people. Many people wereing and going, which helped somewhat relieve the tense atmosphere. Lea spoke,¡± Kisa, you should look at the results. I¡¯ll sit over there for a while. Call me if you need anything.¡± After Lea finished speaking, she sat on a row of benches at the side. Kisa knew Lea was purposefully leaving her some time and space so she could calm her emotions. Kisa took a deep breath and flipped the case file over to undo the string on the file. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. ¡®I already mustered the courage to do this maternity test just to know the conclusion, right? Since I¡¯ve already made my decision, I must face it bravely, Bravery requires only taking one step forward.¡¯ Kisa opened the file and flipped through it to see the conclusion at the bottom. Her heart tensed up in anticipation. ¡®Kisa Becker and Andrew Kooper have a DNA simrity of 0.03%. Non¨Cbiological mother- son rtionship.¡® ¡®Kisa Becker and Ada Kooper have a DNA simrity of 0.08%. Non¨Cbiological mother- daughter rtionship.¡® Finally seeing the conclusion, Kisa¡¯s eyes began to blur. The back of her palm pressed onto the tip of her nose as she tried her best to control her emotions. ¡®I expected this result from the beginning, didn¡¯t I? Then why do I feel so hurt, deep down in my heart? It turns out delusions will always stay as delusions. They will never be a reality,¡® Kisa thought. She never had the blessing in the end and would never be the mother of those two children. She raised her head and took a deep breath, trying to force her tears back in. But her tears would still flow down the corner of her eyes and flowed all the way into her hair. The maternity report was still resting on herp. The data seemed to taunt her and mock her for being so whimsical. Lea gripped the back of her seat tightly. She bit her lip and quickly walked to her to ask, ¡± Kisa, are the results good?¡± Kisa smiled wryly, ¡± They¡¯re neither good nor bad, they¡¯re only facts.¡± Lea nced at the forensic report and said,¡± You shouldn¡¯t be sad. I heard that these reports are not that urate.¡± Kisa smiled bitterly while shaking her head, not speaking. The disappointed and upset expression would make anyone feel sorry. Lea quickly said, ¡± Kisa, yourplexion doesn¡¯t look good. I¡¯ll send you home to let you get some rest.¡± Kisa shook her head. She gripped the report tightly while her gaze was nk, ¡± You should go home first. I just want to have some time alone.¡± ¡°But Kisa¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. You should first go back home,¡± Kisa interrupted her. Lea had aplicated expression while pursing her lips. She then eximed,¡± Alright, I¡¯ll go home first. If you need anything, just call me anytime.¡± Kisa nodded her head while still holding on tightly to that report. She wanted to ask the doctor if he had made a mistake. How hrious. Even when the truth was ced before her, Kisa did not want to believe it. In the end, she still had delusions deep inside her heart. She pushed her wheelchair while going toward the forensics department. However, she did not expect to crash into a group of people. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 543 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 543 Chapter 543 Who Else¡­ Bore His Children? ¡°Are you blind?¡± Kisa¡¯s wheelchair was knocked over to the side. Shey on the floor embarrassingly. Her mask also slipped off her face while the report on herp had spread all over the ground. A wave of harsh and familiar insults flowed overhead. Kisa¡¯s heart sank, and she did not care for the pain in her ankles. She hurriedly went to grab the forensic report. ¡°Kisa?¡± It was Sharon¡¯s voice. Thisrge group of people made Kisa dare not lift her gaze. An old hand suddenly picked up a few pages of the report that floated to the wheelchair. Kisa¡¯s heart panicked and growled while lifting her head, ¡± Give it back to me.¡± It was Madalyn. The person who picked up the few pages of the report was Madalyn. Gilbert was standing by her side and holding onto her. Gilbert looked at her without changing emotions like he was looking at a stranger. ¡°What shameful things have you done that you are this anxious!¡± Madalyn chuckled coldly as she lowered her head to look at the pieces of paper she picked up. When she saw the words ¡®Maternity Report¡®, her heart raced, and she immediately read on. ¡® Non¨C biological mother¨Cson rtionship, Non¨Cbiological mother¨Cdaughter rtionship¡® these few words shined into their eyes. She quickly let out a breath of relief. This motion of sudden anxiety and relief almost sent her to heaven. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Kisa darkened her expression while looking at her, not speaking. But Kisa gripped the hands by her side tightly. Gilbert¡¯s gaze zed over the few papers in Madalyn¡¯s hands. His handsome eyebrows immediately furrowed. Especially when he saw the forensic result, his brows showed slight confusion. Sharon stuck to Madalyn¡¯s side and read the forensic report from head to toe. Her face mockingly smiled, ¡± Ha¨Cha, this is so hrious. Some people still really have delusions. She actually thinks Andrew and Ada are her kids. Anyone can make this kind of daydream, but most importantly, don¡¯t think that daydreams are true.¡± Kisa slowly crawled up from the floor. She did not have her wheelchair and resisted the stinging pain in her to stand straight. As if standing straight would make her look less flustered. Madalyn threw the few pieces of paper back at her and jeered, ¡± Don¡¯t think that you are the only one in the world who bore children for Gilbert.¡± The paper fell to the ground, and the string of words at the conclusion reeked mockery. Kisa straightened her back and looked at Madalyn, ¡± Then who else¡­ bore children for him? Even though Ada and Andrew were not her kids, she ultimately wanted to know who the biological mother of the two kids was. She wanted to know exactly what kind of woman she was to make Gilbert willing to take in the two kids. Madalyn coldly huffed, ¡°That¡¯s none of your business. Anyhow, Ada and Andrew have no rtions with you whatsoever. You should refrain from these delusions in the future.¡± After she finished, she looked at Gilbert, ¡°And you, I told you to fetch Ada and Andrew back early, but you wouldn¡¯t listen. Look, the two kids are at her ce as if they were up for her to torment. If anything happens, you¡¯ll regret it then!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Gilbert. She even dared to do these things, such as maternity tests. I can¡¯t assure you that she wouldn¡¯t detest Ada and Andrew and theny her hands on both kids,¡± Sharon took the opportunity to add oil to the fire. ¡°I heard that maternity tests require the hair and blood of both parties, and the blood test is the most effective. Who knows if she would drain blood out of the kids?¡± Madalyn heard this and her brows scrunched together. When looking at Kisa, her gaze grew dirtier: ¡°You dare drain the blood of my great¨Cgrandkids?¡± Kisa calmly met her dirty gaze with a tone of sarcasm,¡± You¡¯ll trust whatever she says? Madam Kooper Sr., since when did you be so unreasonable?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 544 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 544 Chapter 544 Because He Is the Easiest to Scam Madalyn¡¯s expression shifted slightly, and an awkwardness shed before it. After a moment, she mmed her cane to the ground hard and coldly spoke,¡± Let me tell you again, my great¨Cgrandkids have no rtion to you whatsoever. Next time, if I find out you secretly did a maternity test with my great¨Cgrandkids, then don¡¯t me me for what I¡¯ll do to you.¡± Kisa gave a bitter smile. Madalyn was so angry that she wasn¡¯t thinking straight. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡®Since I¡¯ve had already done the maternity test once, why would I do it a second time? Are these types of things even able to yield different results?¡® Madalyn¡¯s line of sight suddenly locked onto the wheelchair, as if she had just noticed that Kisa was in a wheelchair. She looked at Kisa from head to down. Seeing her stand up straight, Madalyn couldn¡¯t help but mockinglyugh at her, ¡°Some people are especially nasty but chose to act out a weak and dainty look. You were perfectly fine; whose pity are you trying to get sitting on a wheelchair?¡± The pain in the ankle started to spread little by little and had crawled up to her calf. She pinched her palms and smiled calmly,¡± Of course, for Gilbert¡¯s pity because he is the easiest to scam.¡± She said those words to anger Madalyn on purpose. However, at the same time she said those sentences, she never gave Gilbert as much as a nce. Indeed, Madalyn was instantly angered. ¡°Sure enough, the apple doesn¡¯t fall far from the tree. A child born from a wench will be just as vile.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you dare speak of my mother that way!¡± Kisa immediately growled in a low tone. She could tolerate Madalyn insulting her, but she could never ept others for talking about her mother that way. Madalynughed out of anger. Her expression was full of disgust. ¡°What I say is the truth. Back then, your mother acted delicate like this,¡± She said and knocked on the wheelchair using the cane she held. She then spoke in disgust, ¡± In the beginning, she only sprained her leg lightly but had to sit in a wheelchair all day, trying to gather all the pity from the men. She was a shameless wench, provoking this and seducing that while you are the same as that tramp.¡± Kisa felt the blood in her body boil. She gripped her pant legs tightly, and her slender arms couldn¡¯t help but shiver. Kisa had no way of knowing the incidents regarding her mother¡¯s past. She knew her mother was not such a miserable person. However, facing Madalyn¡¯s disgusted gaze that seemed to show as if she was looking at trash, she could not bring a single sentence up to rebuke. Sharon stood at the side smugly, ¡± Her mother wasn¡¯t just cheap. Back then, she knew my mother and father were in love with each other but purposely set up my father. She slept with my father. The only people who use such a lowly tactic to marry into affluent families are the mother and daughter. Didn¡¯t she use the same tactics in the beginning to marry Gilbert?¡± Sharon finished speaking and chortled withughter. Madalyn even saw her with ayer of disgust and disdain in her gaze, ¡°Trash like you will never have any rtions with our Kooper family for the rest of your life. ¡°Alright, Grandma¡­¡± Gilbert, who had not spoken suddenly, said calmly. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. You should go up to get your check¨Cup done.¡± Since Madalyn had woken up, she has yet to have performed a proper full¨Cbody check¨Cup. Coincidentally, he had nothing to do today, so he brought Madalyn here. But he did not expect to meet the woman in front of him. Gilbert casually nced at Kisa¡¯s ankles, then steadied Madalyn to walk past Kisa and enter the physical examination department. He asked Kelvin if falling down from a meter¨Chigh rock would sprain the ankles and if it would be severe. Kelvin said it was a minor issue. Having a few days¡® rests would be good enough. Hence he always felt that Kisa was very dramatic. Her act of even bringing a wheelchair seemed especially hrious. But he forgot that when she jumped from the attic back then, she sprained in the same ce but did not treat it before. Until the figure of those few people had disappeared, Kisa only slowly crouched back down. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 546 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 546 Chapter 546 Can¡¯t You Just Hold It In? Kisa froze and hurriedly wiped her tears. Then, she wheeled herself to the corner and tried to minimize her presence. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. She felt awful just now, so she purposefully hid at the fifth floor¡¯s stairwell to rpose herself. Most people did not use the stairwell, let alone the fifth floor¡¯s stairwell. Kisa figured the person causing the sounds of the footsteps was in a hurry to go upstairs but could not get into an esctor, so they took the stairs instead. She had her back against the staircase while her face toward the wall. She even quieted her breathing a little. The sight of Kisa facing the wall was enough to frighten someone at night. However, it was strange because the footsteps behind her had stopped. She frowned in confusion. ¡®Was the person going to the fifth floor? But if they¡¯re going to the fifth floor, why aren¡¯t theying over to push the fire door open?¡® she wondered. She scrunched her brows and listened quietly. ¡®The footsteps are really gone,¡® she thought. She could not help but wonder if she was hallucinating just now. Even though the footsteps were no longer heard, there was a suffocating feeling in the air. Moreover, a hint of tobo could be detected in the air. She gripped the paper shred in her hand and slowly turned around. The moment she turned around, she almost screamed. ¡°You? What¡¯re you doing here?¡± Gilbert looked like a ghost. He leaned against the wall while puffing his cigarette. He was only a couple of feet away from her. The smell of cigarettes grew stronger. She frowned deeply and made a contemptuous expression. Gilbert flicked his cigarette and did not look at her. Then, he said indifferently, ¡°There were too many people in the smoking area, so I came here.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you just hold it in?¡± ¡°Nope!¡± Kisa snorted in disdain. ¡®His self¨Ccontrol isn¡¯t as good as Jensen¡¯s. Jensen can hold himself back and has never smoked in front of me, but he can¡¯t,¡® she thought. Kisa did not say anything more and wheeled herself to the fire door. Just as she was about to pull the heavy door open, the man suddenly spoke. ¡°Why did you suddenly get the thought of doing a DNA test with Ada and Andrew?¡± Kisa¡¯s hand froze before she pulled the door open. The DNA test was a wound deep within her heart. She crumpled the paper shreds on her knees, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just suddenly fantasized and wondered if they¡¯d be my children. After all, they share the same birthday as my child. I could not help myself from fantasizing when there was such a coincidence.¡± Gilbert exhaled a smoke ring and gazed darkly at her frail shoulders. Kisa suppressed the bitterness she felt within. Then, she smiled bitterly, ¡°At the end of the day, my fantasy was still just fantasy. They¡¯re not my children.¡± ¡°And so you¡¯ve given up?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not giving up but epting reality.¡± Gilbert lowered his gaze and flicked the cigarette ash. He thought of what the pathologist had told him earlier on. ¡°Ms. Becker and the two children are really not rted. There¡¯s no mistake.¡± ¡°Um, we weren¡¯t bribed. Unless¡­ Unless there was an issue with the hair Ms. Becker provided.¡± Then, Gilbert lifted his gaze and stared at the back of Kisa¡¯s head. He frowned. ¡®She stays with Ada and Andrew, so there¡¯s definitely no issue with the hair strand. The pathologist must¡¯ve been paid off. But who? And how did the person know that Kisa was here to do a DNA test? Is there an insider around here?¡® he wondered. Suddenly, he felt his finger getting burned. His cigarette had burned out. He quickly put out his cigarette. When he lifted his head again, he saw the woman still sitting in the wheelchair with her back against him. His gaze lowered and fell on the back of her wheelchair. He scrunched his brows and snorted disdainfully, ¡°You¡¯ve been acting pitiful in front of Jensen a lot, huh? Look at you. You were able to walk around when you were with me. But when it¡¯s with him, you¡¯re so fragile that you need a wheelchair.¡° Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 547 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 547 Chapter 547 The Strength He Used Got Progressively Stronger ¡°Kisa Becker. Do you know that you look really ridiculous right now? It¡¯s an ugly sight.¡± Kisa was feeling down because of the DNA test. After she heard Gilbert¡¯s words of ridicule, she started laughing out of anger. She wheeled herself to face him. She peered at the man¡¯s contemptuous and frosty expression and forced a smile, ¡°You¡¯re right. I particrly enjoy acting pitiful in front of him because it works really well on him.¡± Gilbert took out another cigarette and lit it. He took a deep puff and snorted sarcastically. ¡°Then why are you using a wheelchair in front of me right now?¡± he said as he looked at her. Then, he chuckled and sneered, ¡°This act doesn¡¯t work on me at all.¡± Kisa gripped the armrest on her wheelchair and did not respond. Suddenly, Gilbert walked toward her and peered down at her. His contemptuous gaze drifted up and down her injured leg. Kisa wore a pair of loose¨Cfitting sweatpants today. The hem of her pants was also loose and completely covered her ankles. Just by looking at her, no one could tell that she had a swollen ankle. Gilbert promptly squatted down. He held the cigarette in one hand while his other pointed at Kisa¡¯s injured leg. ¡°I recall your injury being on this leg?¡± Kisa did not respond and stared at him icily. ¡°Ah!¡± Suddenly, the man pinched her injured ankle roughly. Kisa immediately screamed out in pain. He seemed to have used a lot of strength, as it hurt her a lot more than when the doctor pinched her. This time, it was so painful it made her cry. She peered at him through red, teary eyes that were filled with hatred and aggrievance. Gilbert stared at her as his smile grew even more contemptuous. ¡°I advise you to force your tears back in and not look at me like that. Otherwise, I¡¯ll feel disgusted.¡± Kisa took a deep breath and turned away. She haphazardly wiped away the tears from her eyes. ¡®Even if he didn¡¯t remind me, I wouldn¡¯t shed a single tear in front of him,¡® thought Kisa. ¡°Hiss!¡± Suddenly, the man pinched her ankle again roughly. This time, it was rougher than the previous time. Earlier on, Kisa hissed in pain because she was not prepared. This time, she gritted her teeth and did not make a sound. She gripped the wheelchair¡¯s armrests and stared icily at the man in front of her. ¡°You¡¯re f*cking sick!¡± Gilbert exhaled a smoke ring and chuckled, ¡°You like acting, right? If you¡¯re going to act, make it look real. That way, men will feel bad for you. Do you understand?¡± Then, he pinched her injured ankle again for the third time. Each time he pinched her, the strength he used got progressively stronger. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Kisa could not stand the pain. Out of anger, she raised her other leg and kicked him. Gilbert swiftly dodged her. He turned sideways, and the Kisa¡¯s footnded in his hand. Kisa felt embarrassed and wanted to retract her foot. However, Gilbert grabbed her foot firmly. His smile looked unusually cruel surrounded by his cigarette smoke. ¡°Since you like being in a wheelchair this much, I¡¯ll help you worsen the injury on your leg. This way, you can rightfully continue using it for a while more. Most importantly, you can make Jensen pity you even more,¡± he said as his gaze grew cold. Then, he roughly jerked her leg. ¡°Ah!¡± Suddenly, Gilbert yanked Kisa off the wheelchair. Kisa fell to the ground ungracefully. The bones beneath her waist were in pain from the fall, whereas her injured ankle was making her tremble in pain. She tried her best to hold back her tears. Then, she red at him fiercely, ¡°You¡¯re f*cking sick!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 548 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 548 Chapter 548 Stand Up if You Have What It Takes Gilbert stood up and gazed down at her contemptuously. ¡°Even if I were sick, I¡¯m not as sick as you. At the very least, I don¡¯t act pitiful.¡± He took a few steps back and smiled lightly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you always acting so arrogantly? Stand up if you have what it takes.¡± Kisa gripped her pant leg tightly. This time, she truly could not stand up. Her ankle was numb from the pain, while her tailbone was throbbing in pain from the fall just now. Seeing how she did not move for a long time, Gilbert revealed a scornful look. ¡°I¡¯ve told you that acting pitiful in front of me is useless. If you¡¯re that tough, then stand up!¡± It was as if the man in front of her was purposefully making things hard for her. ¡®What¡¯s wrong with him again? Him treating me coldly and indifferently like a stranger was good; I could stay out of pain and disaster that way. Why is he trapping me here today and making things difficult for me? Is he angry because I did a DNA test with Ada and Andrew without his permission?¡® Kisa wondered. The man leaned against the wall once more. One of his hands was in his pocket while the other held a cigarette. He stood therezily as he watched her. He looked as if he was not going to give up until she stood up herself. Kisa sat on the floor and did not dare to move. The moment she moved, she could feel the paining from her tailbone and ankle. Meanwhile, Gilbert continued smiling at her mockingly. He continued smoking and did not urge Kisa to get up. His indifferent expression looked like he was waiting for her to make a fool of herself. Kisa gripped her pant leg so tightly it was wrinkled. After Gilbert burned out his cigarette, he took out another cigarette and lit it. He did not have any intention of leaving. Kisa¡¯s palms were sweaty. ¡®It seems like he won¡¯t leave if I don¡¯t stand up in front of him,¡® she thought. She gritted her teeth before propping her palms on the ground and attempting to stand up. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Her first attempt was unsessful. When Kisa got up, she immediately felt a sharp pain on her tailbone. It was a painful contraction that hurt her entire back as if she were having spasms. She quickly sat back down. However, Gilbert snorted sardonically, ¡°You¡¯re truly a natural¨Cborn actress; your acting is so realistic. If Jensen were here, he¡¯d probably feel so bad seeing you this way.¡± Kisa gnawed her lower lip until it had lost all color. She red at the man in front of her hatefully. However, he merely sneered at her. ¡°The truth is you want me to feel pity for you, right? You could¡¯ve just told me. There¡¯s no need for you to try too hard in front of me.¡± Kisa gritted her teeth, ¡°I don¡¯t need you to feel pity for me even if I died!¡± ¡°Hah. Then stop putting on an act in front of me!¡± the man said with a hint of iciness. Kisa took a deep breath before propping her hands on the floor and attempting to stand up again. When she stood up this time, she felt a convulsing pain at her tailbone. She bit down hard on her lips and endured the pain. After she got up, she stood with her back bent to take a breather. Thankfully, her tailbone did not hurt as much after she straightened her back. It only hurt when she was in the process of standing up. After she stood up straight, her ankle started hurting instead. Kisa endured the pain and met the gaze of the man across her, ¡°You can leave now.¡± Gilbert smiled lightly, ¡°Come here!¡± ¡°Why should I?¡± Kisa did not move. The man did not force her, but he still did not leave. Instead, he took out another cigarette. Kisa gritted her teeth once more and gripped her pant leg. She held in the pain in her ankle and trudged toward him. All she wanted right now was for him to leave as soon as possible. It was as if she could retain her dignity if he left. ¡®One, two¡­¡® thought Kisa. Every step she took felt like she was walking on a knife. Her ankle was hurting, and so was her tailbone. By the time she was in front of Gilbert, her back was already drenched in sweat. ¡°You can leave now, right?¡± she asked. She was only a couple of inches away from him. The men suddenly leaned slightly forward to her face. Kisa felt his warm breath mingled with the scent of tobo tickle her face¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 549 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 549 Chapter 549 If You Find It Disgusting, Then Don¡¯t Look! ¡°See? You can still walk.¡± Kisa had almost torn the sides of her pant legs open. The spot where she gripped was drenched in sweat. Kisa peered at him stubbornly and hatefully with her dark eyes, ¡°You¡­ Are you satisfied now?¡± ¡®I can walk. But does he know how much pain I have to endure and the price I have to pay just to take these few steps?¡® she thought. Kisa forced herself to stand up straight. She stared at his smiling face and gritted her teeth, waiting for him to leave quickly. Meanwhile, Gilbert calmly stuck his cigarette back into the cigarette packet before stuffing it into his pant pocket. Then, he tucked one of his hands into his pockets while the other gently caressed the hair strands on Kisa¡¯s shoulder. He leaned to her ear and revealed a ghostly smile, ¡°Don¡¯t use a wheelchair if you can walk. Your acting is disgusting.¡± ¡°If you find it disgusting, then don¡¯t look!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to. Unfortunately, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a man¨Cmade coincidence; I¡¯m always running into you. Yesterday it was on the streets, and today it¡¯s at the hospital. But I don¡¯t me you; you might as well do it in front of more people to gain more sympathy since you¡¯re already putting on a show.¡± Kisa was shaking from anger. He was implying that she had nned every single one of their encounters just to act pitifully in front of him and gain his sympathy. The man¡¯s fingers were still toying with the ends of her hair. His movements were both yful and contemptuous. Kisa flung his hand away in disgust. Her voice trembled with anger, ¡°Get lost!¡± Gilbert¡¯s hand that was flung by Kisa froze mid¨Cair. A momentter, he tucked his other hand into his pocket. He did not continue speaking but merely snorted at her sardonically. Then, he turned around and went downstairs. Kisa gazed darkly at his retreating figure. She watched as his back slowly disappeared at the corner of the staircase. In an instant, her body toppled to the ground as if he had been deted. She stared nkly at the corner of the staircase. Then, cked out. After Gilbert took a few steps down, he promptly heard a dull thude from above. He frowned deeply and looked up for a few seconds. Then, he spun around and went upstairs. ¡°Mr. Kooper¡­¡± Davian suddenly ran toward him, panting, just as he took a step up the stairs. ¡°Mr. Kooper, I finally found you! Why are you hiding at the stairwell?¡± ¡°The stairwell is a good ce to smoke,¡± Gilbert responded absentmindedly as he continued looking up. However, all he managed to see was the corner of the staircase. He could not see where the woman was. ¡°What¡¯re you looking at, Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°Kisa Becker, ¡°Gilbert answered truthfully. Davian was startled. ¡®I think I saw Ms. Becker just now,¡¯ he thought. Then, he responded out of reflex, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about Ms. Becker, Mr. Kooper. Since she¡¯s been in a wheelchair for so long, it may seem like her injury¡¯s pretty serious. However, it¡¯s only a minor injury, so she¡¯ll be fine after resting for two days.¡± Gilbert side¨Ceyed him. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Davian hurriedly continued, ¡°Well¡­ Well, I saw her sitting alone yesterday evening. She was in a wheelchair, so I¡­ I apanied her, and she told me that she had already seen a doctor. She said it¡¯s not serious, and she¡¯ll be fine after resting for two days.¡± Gilbert¡¯s expression darkened. He took out a cigarette ad lit it. After that, he took a deep puff as if he were venting his anger. Momentster, he said to Davian, ¡°Let¡¯s go meet with the olddy.¡± Then, he left without looking back. The sound of their footsteps in the stairwell grew farther and farther. In the end, the stairwell was finally silent again. Meanwhile, a frail womany unmoving on the corner of the fifth floor¡¯s stairwell. A few feet from her was a wheelchair with paper shreds scattered by its wheels. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 550 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 550 Chapter 550 He Won¡¯t Be Coming Anymore When Kisa woke up, her head felt fuzzy. The room was dimly lit with a yellow light. She could not remember where she was right now. From the corner of her eye, she saw a figure moving around. She turned her head slightly. It was Jensen. After Kisa saw the room decor, she realized that she was in her own room. Suddenly, her memories came flooding back to her. She remembered that she had lost consciousness in the stairwell of the hospital. ¡®Judging from the situation, Jensen saved me again,¡® she thought. Jensen walked to Kisa. He did not seem well¨Crested and had bloodshot eyes. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. His tired face was expressionless. ¡°Try moving and see if you feel pain anymore,¡± Jensen said. His voice was a little hoarse but still sounded gentle. Kisa tried to sit up from her bet. To her surprise, her tailbone did not hurt anymore. However, the pain in her ankle was not alleviated at all. ¡°Are you hungry?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°Then I¡¯ll get you a ss of water. Hold on.¡± The man said and walked out. Kisa stared at his retreating figure and had a weird feeling. ¡®He clearly looked angry, yet he did not lose his temper in front of me. Instead, he was considerate to me,¡® she thought. Soon after, Jensen returned with a ss of water. The water was warm. Kisa drank the water and felt warmth in her entire chest. She set the ss on the headboard before turning to him, ¡°What time is it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s 8 o¡¯clock at night.¡± ¡°Where are the kids?¡± she asked curiously. ¡®It¡¯s already thiste; the kids finished school long ago,¡® she thought. ¡°Gilbert picked up Ada and Andrew.¡± Kisa subconsciously tightened her hands resting on the nket, ¡°So he¡¯s picked them up.¡± ¡°He went to their school to pick them up. He initially asked ke to stay over at his house for a couple of days, but ke didn¡¯t go because he wanted to stay by your side.¡± While Jensen was speaking, ke appeared by the door and stared at Kisa worriedly.

She turned to look at Jensen. Jensen lowered his gaze and chuckled. There was a hint of mockery in hisughter, but his intentions were unclear. ¡°Gilbert¡¯s really good with children. All of the kids like him very much.¡± ¡®He¡¯s good with children, yet he couldn¡¯t ept his biological child. How ironic is that?¡® Kisa sneered. She looked at ke, ¡°That¡¯s right. He won¡¯t being anymore.¡± ke lowered his gaze and did not continue speaking. Instead, he turned around and went to the living room. ¡°You did a DNA test with Ada and Andrew?¡± Jensen promptly asked right after ke left. Kisa tightened her hands once more. Then, she nodded her head in silence. ¡®Since Jensen knows about the DNA test, he must also know about the results,¡¯ she thought. Jensen sat down by her bed. ¡°You were hoping that they were your children?¡± Kisa nodded. There was no need for her to hide anything in front of Jensen. ¡°I even thought that if Ada and Andrew were really my children, I¡¯d let go of all my grudges for them.¡± ¡°Including¡­ Forgiving Gilbert for harming you?¡± Kisa was silent for a few moments. In the end, she gave him a nod. Suddenly, Jensen smiled. It was a smile that was a little forceful. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 551 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 551 Chapter 551 You Applied the Medicine for Me? Kisa looked at him in shock, ¡°How do you know my tailbone is injured?¡± ¡°When I hugged you while you fainted, you were dazedly clutching that ce, saying it hurts.¡± Jensen¡¯s tone, carrying a touch of anger, ¡°Kisa, you must be very painful at that time. Kisa lowered her eyes and stayed silent. ¡®It is as painful as a cramp.¡® ¡°The doctor took an X¨Cray of you. The bone wasn¡¯t injured, and the hard fall caused the pain. ¡°¡­ Oh,¡± Kisa responded softly, feeling remorseful that her injury was causing trouble for Jensen. She was at a loss and kept ming herself for her injury in front of Jensen. ¡°Although your bone wasn¡¯t fractured, you held the ce and said it hurts a few times dazedly. In the end, the doctor had to give you medicine, the painkiller that has a strong dependence, normally used for surgery. You shouldn¡¯t use it frequently. I just rubbed the medicine on you. How do you feel now?¡± ¡°No, it doesn¡¯t hurt at all.¡± Kisa was wondering why the ce that hurt like a cramp before was gone all of a sudden. It turned out that the medicine was applied. Suddenly, she thought of a question and frowned abruptly. ¡°You applied the medicine for me?¡± Jensen nodded calmly. An awkward expression appeared on Kisa¡¯s face and shed across her heart. ¡®The injury was close to the hip.¡® Her cheek blushed. She patted it and asked him, ¡°Do¡­ you still have the painkiller ointment?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Just as Kisa was about to try to smear it on her ankles, Jensen said, ¡°Don¡¯t even think about applying it on your feet¡¯s injury. Your ankle bone is probably fractured. So it¡¯s useless to apply.¡± Kisa lowered her shoulders dejectedly. She thought her ankle would recover with the universal pain¨C relieving ointment. ¡°You should go to the hospital to meet the doctor obediently tomorrow. You can¡¯t go anywhere except the hospital before visiting the hot spring.¡± Jensen got up and said, ¡°I¡¯ll get you some food. Take a rest.¡± He walked out as he finished talking. His voice was hoarse and gentle, and his tone was calm but a little forceful. ¡®I never dare to disobey what Jensen said. In addition to being grateful and dependent on him, I¡¯m more in awe of him.¡® In the private room of Club Enigma. Lea curled up in a corner. She stared at the man sitting on the couch sadly and fearfully. The man put his arms around Sharon. The ember from the cigarette glowed between his fingers as wisps of smoke rose from it, blurring their faces as if it was an illusion. ¡°So, you already knew Kisa was the mom of those two children?¡± Anthony asked Sharon with a smile. In fact, Anthony did not know whether Kisa was rted to those two children. But he always felt it was a big deal for Kisa to suddenly go for a DNA test with Gilbert¡¯s children. That is why he met up with Sharon immediately when Lea informed him of this, to see if Sharon knew anything. As expected, Sharon was shocked when she heard the news. She even asked him to find a way to tamper with the testing results immediately. Sharon smirked, ¡°I knew it a long time ago. Luckily you quickly tampered with it today. It¡¯ll be a disaster if you let that woman know she is the mom of those two children.¡± N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡°You have her to thank,¡± said Anthony, pointing at Lea in the corner with his skinny index finger. A sneer instantly appeared on Sharon¡¯s unnatural face. ¡°This woman seemed to be quite close to Kisa. I didn¡¯t expect her to be two¨Cfaced.¡± ¡°Two¨Cfaced? No, she¡¯s a pawn that I ced next to Kisa. You know her role now. So never do anything to her in the future.

Do you want to give it a try?¡± said Anthony, leaning over and kissing Sharon¡¯s neck. Sharon frowned in disgust. Anthony disdained. He turned around and kissed the woman on the other side. Lea could not stand it. She shakily asked Anthony, ¡°C¨CCan I go?¡± ¡°Get out!¡± Anthony spoke the two words in annoyance. Lea frantically escaped outside as if fleeing for her life. Anthony stared at her flustered back for a long time. Suddenly, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips. A cool breeze blew in when Lea came out of the club, which made her shiver. She folded her arms and walked across the road with her head down. Her rented room was nearby. More precisely, Anthony paid for the rent, but it was registered under her name. It was windy at night, and there were only a few people. The cars on the road whizzed by non¨Cstop. Lea found a chance and crossed the road instantly. Then, she covered her padded jacket tightly and walked toward a condominium. Suddenly, someone called her as soon as she reached the door of the building. Lea was startled and turned her head, hurriedly searching for the source of the voice. It was Jensen. He was getting out of the car. She did not know how long he had been there. Lea¡¯s heart immediately tightened. Perhaps because of her guilty conscience, her palms were still sweating. Jensen invited her into the car and drove her to a cafe. The cafe was much warmer than the outside, but it did not relieve Lea¡¯s uneasiness and tension at all. Lea held the coffee cup and asked Jensen carefully, ¡°Jensen, it¡¯ste now. What can I do for you?¡± Jensen leaned on the back of the chair. His sharp eyes sized her up without blinking. His gaze flustered Lea. She could not help but lower her head to stir the coffee in the cup. ¡°It¡¯s already late. What took you so long toe back?¡± ¡°I-I went out for a while and had a gathering with my former colleagues.¡± Jensen picked up the coffee and took a sip. He straightforwardly asked, ¡°Did you apany Kisa when she went for the DNA test?¡± Lea¡¯s back stiffened. She nodded with a smile on her face, ¡°Yes, I went with her because her leg was injured.¡± ¡°Are you with her all the time?¡± Lea shook her head, ¡°Kisa was in a bad mood after the test result came out. That¡¯s why she asked me toe back without her. I have no idea what happenedter.¡± N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Suddenly, a worried expression appeared on her brows after Lea finished. ¡°Did something happen to Kisa?¡± Her concern seemed honest. Jensen put the coffee cup on the table and leaned against the back of the chair. ¡°Kisa is fine. Don¡¯t be nervous. I¡¯m just casually asking.¡± Lea seemed relieved. She lowered her head and took a sip of her coffee, but her eyes nervously darted around. Suddenly, she raised her head and said to Jensen, ¡°By the way, I saw Mr. Kooper and the others in the hospital when Kisa was doing the DNA test. I don¡¯t know if Kisa knew they were there. You would never know his Gilbert would react if he knew Kisa secretly did a DNA test with Andrew and Ada.¡± With ease, Lea used Gilbert as the suspect who tampered with the test report. Jensen stayed silent. But he stared out the window thoughtfully. Lea was unsure if he understood what she meant. She was scared to say anything and just twiddled her fingers uneasily. After a long time, Jensen suddenly shifted his gaze to her.

I¡¯ll take you back after drinking.¡± Lea¡¯s heartbeat was still beating fast when she returned to her residence. Her heart was entangled with countless emotions, anxiety, self¨Cme, and guilt. It made her stand motionless for a long time without realizing another person was in the room. The man came out from the shadows and stared at her coldly. ¡°Which man are you fooling around with thiste?¡± ¡®It¡¯s Anthony.¡® Lea trembled in fright. ¡®He was still in the bar just now. Why did hee back so soon?¡® Lea took two steps back subconsciously. The lights in the room were still off. But there was lighting in from the outside. The faint light allowed her to see Anthony¡¯s sinister and evil face. Lea had always been afraid of him, but she could not help herself, wanting to get closer to him. Her heels touched the wall as she leaned against the wall before turning on the switch for the light. With a click sound, the living room was suddenly as bright as day. Lea had just returned from the outside and was already shivering. Seeing this man in front of her even made her blood run cold. She twiddled her hands. ¡°I didn¡¯t go out to fool around.¡± ¡°So, tell me. What did you do just now?¡± Anthony sneered cruelly. His brawny body had already walked in front of her. ¡°It was a man who sent you back just now, if I¡¯m not mistaken.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± As soon as Anthony finished, he immediately rushed at Lea, like a ferocious beast, without giving her any chance to exin or breathe, before throwing her onto the couch. He tortured the woman under him as if venting his anger. Lea¡¯s face turned pale from the pain. ¡°Tell me! Who is that man? Didn¡¯t I fulfill your need? How dare you find another man behind me? Say it!¡± Lea took a deep breath, grabbed his arm, and said in a tearful voice, ¡°The person who looked for me was¡­ Jensen.¡± Anthony¡¯s movements abruptly stopped. His eyes narrowed dangerously in a sh. ¡°Why did he look for you?¡± ¡°He seems to doubt I disclosed Kisa¡¯s DNA test.¡± ¡°How could he suspect you?¡± Anthony frowned. ¡®Did Jensen also know the rtionship between Kisa and those two children?¡® Lea retreated from under Anthony awkwardly when he was in a daze. Anthony did not force her either. He turned over, sat on the couch, lit a cigarette, and smoked. He squinted at Lea. ¡°How did you deal with him?¡± ¡°I¡­ deliberately said Gilbert was in the hospital too. So he could doubt Gilbert instead.¡± ¡°Well, Jensen isn¡¯t easy to fool.¡± Anthony smoked silently, his breathing seemingly tensed. Lea was full of unease and self¨Cme. She grabbed his arm, ¡°Mr. Mullen, please don¡¯t hurt Kisa. Don¡¯t make me frame her again. How about I confess to her?¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± Anthony pinched her chin and sneered mockingly, ¡°You revealed the news to me yourself this time. You¡¯re a person who is selfish to the core. Why are you trying to be self- conscious now?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Lea¡¯s face was full of tears as the self¨Cme and guilt in her heart grew more intense. ¡°You better not say anything to Kisa about the DNA test.

Standing behind her, Jensen suddenly said, ¡°It is almost New Year¡¯s Eve, right?¡± Kisa was stunned. It reminded her of that year, the most unforgettable New Year¡¯s Eve she had ever spent. Since then, she had never intended to observe this festive. Despite that, this New Year¡¯s Eve may seem a bit special after Jensen mentioned it. She looked out at the snowkes and smiled back at him. ¡°Let¡¯s spend this New Year¡¯s Eve together, okay?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± Jensen smiled, and his gentle eyes lit up like the stars. Mia looked sullen as she stood with the support of a walking stick. She had spent five days in the hospital and could not wait to be discharged. At first, Jensen thought of taking her back to her ce and hiring a nurse for her, but she insisted on staying with Jensen. He had no choice but to give in to her wishes. The snow poured down, and the ground turned white in no time. ¡°New Year¡¯s Eve is a luxury for Jensen and me,¡± Mia suddenly said with a half¨Csmile. Startled, Kisa looked at her in confusion. ¡°Luxury? What do you mean?¡± Mia leaned against a pir in the doorway with her cane, and a light smile appeared on her enchanting face. ¡°Jensen and I have literally never experienced the atmosphere of New Year¡¯s Day in ten years.¡± ¡°That is enough!¡± Jensen suddenly shouted at her. His voice was low but with a vague sense of anger. Mia shrugged and grunted, subconsciously taking out a cigarette. But Jensen snatched it away and threw it right into the trash can two meters away. ¡°You can¡¯t smoke in the hospital, even at the entrance.¡± Mia was so angry that she cursed, ¡°What the hell is this ce that I can¡¯t even smoke? I will never come again.¡± Jensen shot her a stern nce and then ignored her. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Kisa licked her dry lips and said to Mia, ¡°Our New Year celebration here is vivacious. We also make dumplings and randomly stuff coins into them. Whoever gets a dumpling with a coin will have the best luck next year.¡± Mia hummed disdainfully from her nose. Kisa then asked Mia, ¡°Do you know how to make dumplings?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Ahh, it looks like Jensen will have to do it alone on New Year¡¯s Eve, as I don¡¯t know how to make it either. So we will just wait and eat.¡± Mia was transfixed for a moment before she asked awkwardly, ¡°We?¡± ¡°Yeah, we will spend New Year¡¯s Eve together and make dumplings together.¡± ¡°Does that include me?¡± ¡°Of course, the three of us will spend New Year¡¯s Eve together¨Coh, there is also ke,¡± Kisa said with amusement. Mia smiled, acting as if she could not be bothered. ¡°Who cares? I can buy them at the supermarket.¡± ¡°But you can¡¯t buy the dumplings made by Jensen.¡± ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go home.¡± Jensen cut off their conversation. His voice was indifferent. ¡°Let¡¯s get some rest today and go to the mountains for a spa tomorrow.¡± With that, he pushed the wheelchair forward. Kisa hurriedly stopped him. ¡°You help Mia to the car. There is snow on the road. She will slip and fall with her crutches.¡± After spending a few days together, Kisa prefers to call Mia by her first name. ¡°Who cares about his help?¡± Mia said and went down the steps with her crutches. ¡°Aaaaah!¡± Just after taking a step, Jensen carried her in his arms. ¡°You will be fully covered in snow when you walk at this speed,¡± Jensen said, striding toward the parking area with Mia in his arms. After just a few steps, he stopped again and looked back at Kisa. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 555 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 555 Chapter 555 Creating a Chance Encounter ¡°Wait there, I will be right back.¡± Kisa nodded. The snow was getting heavier, and Jensen, who carried Mia in his arms, soon disappeared into the snow. She looked up at the sky and suddenly remembered the day she was sent to prison. The snow then was as heavy as today¡¯s, and a thickyer had umted on the ground. She sat in the police car and looked out at the white nket of snow, which looked beautiful but also very bleak. She rolled forward in her wheelchair, then stretched her hand out of the eaves to catch the chilly snowkes. The air was chilly, and the light¨Cweighted snowkes danced with the wind, but not a single snowke fell on her palm. She could not resist moving a bit further out. The ground was wet, and the wheels rolled forward slowly with inertia, with only a centimeter left before she would fall down the steps. Suddenly, her wheelchair lost its bnce. Her heart skipped a beat. Before she could react, a force pulled the wheelchair backward and stationed it steadily at the ss door of the building. As she looked up in trepidation, she saw Gilbert¡¯s cold eyes and mocking smile. Her heart involuntarily pounded as she grabbed the nket on her leg. He leaned against the ss door with a half¨Cburned cigarette between his fingers. Kisa frowned, as the hospital was a no¨Csmoking zone, and he had not abided by the rule. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. ¡°Humph!¡± He sneered as he looked in the direction Jensen had just left. ¡°It seems useless for you to y the pity card; he still carries another woman and leaves.¡± ¡°What has that got to do with you?¡± Kisa said, spelling it out to Gilbert in a bitter tone. Gilbert smiled and did not get angry. The fire between his fingers was flickering in the icy wind. He brought his cigarette to his lips, took a puff, exhaled a ring of smoke, and said, ¡°It is none of my business. I just think it is a little funny.¡± Kisa did not want to talk to him. She turned to look at the snow outside. It felt icy cold as the wind¨C carried snowkes hit her face. She could not help but raise her hand and pat her face. It was really a chilly day today. After sitting here for just a minute, she felt like her face was freezing over. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was even more ufortable when it snowed. Kisa stretched her neck and nced in the direction of the parking area. But Jensen had yet toe. She clenched her hands on her sides, then moved in a different direction and slid down a ramp next to her in the wheelchair. As she came down to the level ground, Gilbert came down from the steps and stopped in front of her. He was so tall that he looked like a mountain in front of her, and she had to look up to see his face. Gilbert was wearing a long ck coat with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a cigarette to his lips. Kisa frowned and tried to move around him. He took a step across and stood in her way again. It seemed the same as thest time, in the hallway. He is intent on picking a fight with her. ¡°What do you mean by doing this?¡± Kisa frowned, her voice frosty. ¡°Nothing. I simply think your wheelchair is an eyesore.¡± Gilbert¡¯s voice was equally frosty. Kisaughed. ¡°If it is an eyesore, don¡¯t look at it. Who is forcing you to look at it? I didn¡¯t know that you were so free toe to the hospital to create a chance encounter with me.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 556 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 556 Chapter 556 Making a Fool of Yourself Gilbert snorted as he looked down at her. The smoke he exhaled loomed above her head, with a nicotine smell drifting into her nostrils, irritating her. ¡°I can¡¯t believe you have such a high opinion of yourself, thinking I came to the hospital on purpose to create a chance encounter with you,¡± Gilbert said, bending downward slightly, and said with a low, bitter voice, ¡°I no longer have feelings for you since you stabbed me that day. Creating a chance encounter? Do you even think it is possible?¡± His sarcastic chuckle made her feel as if she was the one who was making a fool of herself. She clutched the wheelchair¡¯s armrest in anger and nervousness. Her hands were red from the cold, her slender fingers looking fragile in the wind. Gilbert nced at her hands indifferently and sneered, ¡°Look, ying the pity card is only your own undoing. Had you stopped pretending and gotten on your feet, you would have gotten into the car in no time. Why are you still freezing here?¡± Kisa gritted her teeth. ¡°Why do you care? You said you did not create a chance encounter, then why did you always appear in the hospital for no good reason? Mr. Kooper, I remember that you have a family doctor.¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to get the medical report for my grandmother.¡± He was indeed here to collect his grandmother¡¯s medical report, but someone else could send it back, or Davian could havee to get it. But he happened to pass by the hospital today, and he just dropped in for some reason. Kisa sneered. ¡°You collected the medical report in the surgical wing? I didn¡¯t know they had medical check¨Cup services in the surgery department.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face darkened. ¡°What are you trying to say? Do you really think I¡¯m here for you?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t say that.¡± Of course, she did not think that he had created the chance encounter. She said that just to take a jab at him. Gilbert suddenly pointed at his chest. ¡°The wound from your stab hasn¡¯t healed yet. Can¡¯t Ie to see a doctor?¡± ¡°What is Kelvin for, then? Is he no match for the doctors here?¡± Gilbert suddenlyughed mockingly. ¡°Kisa, do you really want me to care about you so much that you have to make the excuse that I¡¯m here to meet you by chance, huh?¡± He was highly sarcastic toward the end of the sentence. Kisa looked away. She did not hope for that. Just then, Jensen walked toward them in the snow. She was so happy that she broke into a smile as she finally did not have to face Gilbert anymore. Gilbert saw the change in her expression and took that all in. He raised his chin and took a drag on his cigarette, his face looking unconcerned. ¡°Gilbert, what brought you here?¡± ¡°To help Grandma collect her medical report.¡± Gilbert¡¯s voice reeked of sulkiness. ¡°Is Grandma alright?¡± ¡°She is in perfect health.¡± N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Jensen smiled and said nothing more. Ayer of snow coated his shoulders. He reached out to sweep it away, then walked behind Kisa and swept the snow off her shoulder, too. ¡°I thought I told you to wait under the eaves? Why did youe down?¡± His voice carried a reproachful undertone. Kisa nced at Gilbert, who was still smoking, and the scornful look on his face remained. Kisa bit her lower lip and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. It is cold.¡± Jensen took off his coat and covered her body. Kisa subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Jensen held down her shoulders. ¡°You are still unwell. Leave it on.¡± That prompted another snort ofughter from Gilbert. Kisa was exasperated. ¡®Even if I¡¯m pretending here, what does it matter to him? Who is he tough at her?¡® Jensen straightened up and looked at Gilbert. ¡°Mr. Tanner invited us to the spa tomorrow. Are you going?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 557 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 557 Chapter 557 It¡¯s Cold All Over ¡®He¡¯d better not go,¡® Kisa thought. Gilbert looked at Kisa with a cigarette in his mouth, and after a while, he puffed out a ring of smoke and said indolently, ¡°Let¡¯s see how it goes.¡± ¡°Okay, then Kisa and I will go back first. It is cold. You also don¡¯t stay out too long.¡± Gilbert said nothing. Neither did Jensen anymore as he pushed Kisa toward the parking lot. After walking some distance, Kisa could not help but look back. She saw Gilbert still standing in the snow, smoking. ¡®He seems to be getting increasingly fond of smoking, to the point of being addicted to it. Every time I saw him, he had a cigarette between his fingers.¡® The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and his ck coat was quickly covered in ayer of snow. Kisa withdrew her eyes and looked ahead with a faint expression. The car park was full of cars, and Jensen pushed her around to thest row, where Mia was leaning against the car, smoking. Kisa sometimes wondered what the benefit of smoking was and why they all liked it so much. Later, Gilbert told her whenever he was upset, he would want to smoke and that smoking was just a way to get rid of his worries. An icy wind blew by, and Kisa shuddered. She really admired Mia, who seemed immune to the cold, wearing a body¨Chugging dress and fur on a snowy day. Kisa felt cold all over just by looking at it. But Mia was smoking like nobody¡¯s business as if smoking could prevent the cold. ¡°Pretentious,¡± Mia said faintly after ncing at her jacket. Kisa looked embarrassed and tried to give the jacket back to Jensen, but Jensen pressed on her shoulder with one hand, holding down the jacket on her body. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about her. She is immune to the cold and couldn¡¯t bear to see others being afraid of it.¡± Mia snorted, threw away the cigarette butt, and got into the car with the help of her cane. Kisa smiled awkwardly and said nothing. As the snow was heavy, the car drove slowly, and there was a long traffic jam on the road. Kisa and Mia sat in the back, and no one spoke. The cabin was heated and warm. Kisa leaned back in her seat somewhat drowsily. Mia was rubbing her red nail polish and suddenly said slowly, ¡°Don¡¯t forget to bring me along when you go to the spa tomorrow.¡± Kisa was about to doze off when she suddenly heard Mia¡¯s voice and became awake. Jensen did not talk. So Kisa sat up straight and said softly, ¡°Okay.¡± It snowed all night long. When she woke up in the morning, there was a beautiful white scene outside the window. She had not had time to wash up when there was a knock at the door. When she opened the door, she saw it was ke. He wore a dark blue down jacket with a pair of ck jeans, topped with a gray knit cap on his head. His delicate facial features with his fair skin made him look extra good¨Clooking. ¡°Ma¡¯am, Dad just called me and asked if you were up yet.¡± Kisa nced at the wall clock and felt embarrassed; it was already nine in the morning. She had somehow lost sleepst night, staring out the window at the snow that was falling until 4:00 am. The good thing was that the appointment with Mr. Tanner was at 7:00 p.m., so there was still plenty of time. ¡°Ma¡¯am, go get changed. Dad has made breakfast for us,¡± ke said. Kisa nodded. ¡°You go ahead. I will be there in a moment.¡±All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Andrew and Ada had returned to the Kooper residence, but ke still lived with her. Sometimes, whenever she looked at ke, she would miss those two children. She washed up briefly, then put on a pair of light blue jeans, a pink sweater on top, and a white down jacket over it. The down jacket was so long that it covered her calves. On her feet, she wore a pair of white boots. As she approached the door in her wheelchair, she thought for a moment and then got to her feet. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 558 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 558 Chapter 558 Turning Into a Green-Eyed Monster After scanning her eyes around the house once, Kisa spotted a long rectangr paper box next to the living room cab. She slowly hopped over and ripped open the box, inside which was a wood¨C grained walking stick. Lately, Gilbert had been calling her pretentious, and she had thought about it and thought it was indeed catching too much attention to be in a wheelchair. As she was going to the spa today, it looked like quite a few people would be there, so she felt inconvenienced and was particrly eye¨Ccatching using a wheelchair. Kisa thought she had better go with a cane, and Mia had a cane, anyway. This was a cane she asked Lea to buy. It had been two days since she bought it, but she had yet to use it and almost forgot about it. She took it out, tried it, and thought it was quite good and more convenient than using a wheelchair. The redness and swelling in her ankle had almost gone, but the doctor said she had also injured the bones and asked her to rest for a little longer. While recuperating, she should not walk on that foot, or it would never heal. With the cane¡¯s support, she opened the door, then knocked on the opposite door across the hallway. ke answered the door and was transfixed for a second when he saw her with a cane. He thoughtfully helped her in. ¡°Ma¡¯am, be careful.¡± Jensen wasing out of the kitchen. When he saw her, he instantly frowned. He quickly came up and helped her. ¡°Why don¡¯t you use the wheelchair? What if you fall?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not so easy. I¡¯m using a cane, too. Have you ever seen me fall?¡± Mia, who was at the table, said with a hint of jealousy. Kisa smiled in embarrassment. She pulled her arm back and said to Jensen, ¡°It is okay. The cane works fine. It is more convenient than a wheelchair.¡± Jensen nced at Mia, who sipped on her milk. ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth,¡± Mia said. ¡°She is right. It isn¡¯t so easy to fall while using crutches.¡± Kisa smiled as she made her way to the table. Jensen said nothing else, and just went to the kitchen to bring her breakfast. Mia nced at her cane and smiled, ¡°You have good taste. Even the cane is the trendiest color. Jensen bought you that?¡± Before Kisa could say anything, she continued as if talking to herself. ¡°He is very considerate of you.¡± Kisa was embarrassed. She did not know what to say about Mia, who had been really nice while she was in Raworth, but a jealous woman in Calthon. She brought the cane to Mia. My assistant bought this for me. If you like it, let¡¯s switch.¡± Mia was transfixed. ¡°Your assistant bought it?¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°Do you want to switch?¡± Mia¡¯s cane was ck, without much style, and it really did not look as good as hers. ¡°It is alright. As ugly as my cane is, it was Jensen who bought it for me.¡± Mia¡¯s mouth twitched with a sneer. Kisa tried hard not tough, and she nodded. ¡°Well, since it was Jensen who bought it, you should keep it. Besides, it isn¡¯t ugly at all.¡± ¡°You are the only person who can ept his sense of aesthetics,¡± Mia grunted.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. As she spoke, Jensen hade over with milk and a sandwich. ¡°Ma¡¯am¡­¡± ke suddenly tugged at her arm. ¡°Can I see Andrew and Ada today?¡± It seemed that ke also missed Andrew and Ada. Kisa thought for a moment and said, I¡¯m not sure, but if their daddy is going to be there, he will probably bring them along, too.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± ke had his breakfast with his head hung low, not saying anything again. Kisa sighed softly. As much as she did not want Gilbert to go to the spa, she wanted to see Andrew and Ada. Lea came over at 10.00 am. They packed up a bit and then left home. ording to Jensen, they would stay in the mountains for a week, which sounded like a vacation.

A week was neither long nor short, so Kisa brought some daily necessities and a few sets of clothes for ke. Winter clothes took up space, and a few pieces stuffed the luggage. Mia looked at her with disdain when she asked Jensen to help her bring out the massive purple luggage. ¡°It¡¯s just a week, and everything is pre¨Cprepared on the hill. Do you have to pack so many things as if you are moving house?¡± Kisaughed. ¡°Better be prepared than sorry. They wille in handy. Who knows?¡± Mia scoffed and took the lead in getting into the car. And this time, she sat in the front passenger seat while Kisa, Lea, and ke were in the back. Lea tugged at Kisa¡¯s sleeve and nced at Mia, whispering to Kisa, ¡°Who is she? Why did she speak like that?¡± ¡°A friend with a good heart. You will know after getting to know her.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Lea had a fleeting sense of sadness and guilt in her eyes. The ce Mr. Tanner invited them to was Kerrona Hill, which was famous in this area because of a natural spring at the top, where it was warm in winter and cool in summer. Many people go there to escape the summer heat. The spring was exceptionally warm in winter, with many people going for the hot spring and not willing to leave all winter. But Kerrona Hill is far from Calthon, a six¨Chour drive away if the traffic was smooth. It was in a remote area, and to maintain its natural beauty,mercial buildings were not allowed to be built around the hill. Staying on Kerrona Hill was like being isted from the outside world. It was said that the person who developed Kerrona Hill was about 30 years old and had a robust background with extraordinary capability. He made the deserted hill a tourist destination known to everyone in just a few years. They departed quite early, at 11.00 am, for fear of bad traffic. But it was all smooth. By the time they reached Kerrona Hill, it was not yet 6.00 pm, and ke had taken a long nap during the journey and only woke up when the car stopped at the foot of the hill. It was cold in the city but even colder around the hill. When Kisa looked out the window, it was dark except for a few headlights in the parking lot. But looking up the hill, it was brightly lit, like a city that never slept. The night had obscured the hill from a distance, while the brightly lit ce looked like a magical city in the sky. Special sightseeing buses were plying the mountain road, and private vehicles were not allowed on the hill. As soon as Jensen stopped the car, a sightseeing bus stopped beside him. ¡°Mr. Tanner has been expecting you on the hill. I will take you up there.¡± Jensen nodded and nced back at Kisa, who stroked ke¡¯s head, helped him put on his down jacket and hat, and wrapped her scarf around ke¡¯s neck. She pulled the scarf up slightly and covered ke¡¯s mouth and nose, exposing only his eyes. ke behaved more maturely than his peers, but he was still a child at heart. When he came to a new ce, he was full of curiosity and could not wait to get out of the car. Kisa followed him. The night was chilly, and the area around the hill was even chillier. As soon as she got out of the car, she shuddered and hopped onto the sightseeing bus with the support of her walking stick. Lea felt just as cold. The moment she got onto the bus, she clutched Kisa¡¯s arm. The driver nced back at them and said amusedly, ¡°We will be up the hill, where it will be warmer.¡± Lea¡¯s teeth chattered from the cold. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t it be colder on the hill?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 560 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 560 Chapter 560 Reflected Glory ¡°There are several hot springs on the hill, and the steam from them warm the surrounding.¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. ¡°Ohhh¡­¡± Lea responded, only half grasping what the driver said and could not imagine what it looked like. The tour van had two rows of seats facing each other, with Kisa and Lea in one row, ke in the middle, and Jensen and Mia in the opposite, but they had little to say. It was the driver who broke the silence. ¡°There are many fun things on the hill. You will know when you get there. As long as you are near a hot spring, you can feel the warm ground by just sitting down.¡± ¡°So amazing?¡± Lea was a little excited. Kisa smiled and patted Lea¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Let¡¯s go check it outter.¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah.¡± Lea nodded vigorously and turned to look out the window at the night scene. The trail was quiet at night, with only tour vans plying the route. There was a streetlight every 30 feet on both sides of the road, which led directly to the top of the hill. But even with the streetlights, it was impossible to see the scenery along the way, as it was still too dark. Kisa asked the driver, ¡°Is this the only road to the top of the hill? Wouldn¡¯t it be too crowded during the week?¡± The driver responded, ¡°Yes, we¡¯ve only built this road uphill to manage traffic better. We have a daily visitor quota, so you can rest assured that the hill will not be crowded.¡± Kisa nodded her head, and the driver continued. ¡°Those who cane up to this hill are mostly dignitaries, so you do not have to worry too much about the quality of tourists, and I heard that Mr. Tanner has reserved the VIP area, which is the most prestigious zone on the hill.¡± ¡°Really, the VIP area?¡± Lea became more and more excited, looking like she was about to experience the world for the first time. Mia nced at her with a sneer. ¡°Hey, whose reflected glory are you basking in this time?¡± Lea bit her lip and lowered her head self¨Cconsciously. Kisa stroked her back and smiled. ¡± We are all basking in Mr. Tanner¡¯s reflected glory.¡± Lea looked at her with gratitude and a touch of guilt inside her. Mia sneered at Kisa and searched her body for cigarettes again. She had a big curly perm today and bright red lipstick. Even Kisa could not bear to see the look of Mia biting a cigarette with her vivid red lips. She lit the cigarette, and soon, the smell of smoke filled the cabin. Jensen frowned and looked at Mia, who smiled at him and then opened the window next to her. Kisa and Lea shivered and shrank their necks when the wind blew in. Jensen shut the window and stubbed out the cigarette before Mia could react. Mia looked at him with annoyance. ¡°This is not a hospital.¡± Jensen nced at her sternly. ¡°I dare you to smoke again.¡± Mia was so exasperated that she crumpled the cigarette pack in her hand. At that moment, the driver said, ¡°We are almost there, so don¡¯t worry.¡± Kisa and Lea looked at each other, neither of them could say anything, and the atmosphere in the cabin became awkward. The good thing was that the trail was short, and the van finally stopped at the destination about fifteen minutester. ke was the first to jump off as the car door was pulled open, followed by Jensen and Lea, who had no problem with their legs. As soon as they got off, they turned around and extended their hands at Kisa in unison. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 561 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 561 Chapter 561 A Circle of Signs Divides the Seasons Mia, still leaning back in the seat, scoffed at the sight. Lea saw Jensen extend his hand and smiled in embarrassment. She hurriedly pulled her hand back, but Kisa suddenly tugged on it. ¡°What are you pulling back your hand? Help me All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. out of the van.¡± Lea was transfixed for a second before she reached out to help her. ¡°Be careful.¡± Kisa jumped out of the van with her cane in one hand and Lea¡¯s support in the other. Jensen watched with a disappointed look as Kisa got off and stood steadily on the ground, his outstretched hand finally turning to Mia. Mia grumbled and swatted his hand away. ¡°Pretentious! Do I need help with such a low vehicle? Do you really think I¡¯m a cripple?¡± She said, jumping off the van with her crutches. As the ground was wet, she slipped when her foot hit the ground. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously reached out to grab her but only touched a corner of Mia¡¯s clothes. Mia fell with her body still in the car, and her legs bent on the ground. Kisa went to check on her with her cane. ¡°Mia, are you okay?¡± Mia said nothing and was struggling to get up. Kisa tried to help her, but she shrugged it off with a huff. Jensen¡¯s face darkened, and he pulled Kisa behind him and watched expressionlessly as Mia struggled to get up, with no intention of going up to help. Mia found her legscking strength and the ground slippery. She struggled for a long time to get up, and her hair and clothes were messy. She red angrily at Kisa, who Jensen was protecting. It was as if she was going to kill Kisa with her eyes. Kisa had no words and lowered her head, feeling that Mia was ming her fall on her. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you hold me up when I was about to fall?¡± Mia suddenly yelled at Jensen in anger. Jensen was unruffled. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say it was pretentious? So I didn¡¯t dare to help.¡± ¡°You!¡± Lea shrank back, trying hard not tough. Kisa felt so embarrassed that she could not help but look at Jensen, who usually was gentle, yet this time was surprisingly wicked. He could have reached out and held Mia just now, but he did not. He watched on, just to see Mia fall on purpose, to deliberately teach her a lesson. So she found Jensen was less and less than the Jensen she knew before. Mia was so angry that she ignored Jensen on the way, and ke helped her walk. She and ke walked in the front, Lea held Kisa in the middle, and Jensen walked in the rear. The driver was right; it was not so cold when they reached the top of the hill. At the entrance, Kisa looked around and saw a sign showing each area¡¯s location. The driver said, ¡°It is nighttime, and I can¡¯t show you the surroundingndscape. So I will give you a general reminder. Please stay in the hot spring areas, the boundaries of which are marked. There will be heavy snowfall. If you go out of the hot spring area, it will be freezing cold.¡± Kisa listened and felt amazing. ¡°So, a circle of signs divides the seasons?¡± The driver thought for a moment and nodded. ¡°It could be understood that way.¡± Mia suddenly asked impatiently, ¡°Are we there yet? How long do we have to walk?¡± Kisa looked back in the direction she hade from, but by now, she could no longer see the tour van they had arrived in. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 562 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 562 Chapter 562 The Vi on the Hill Thinking back, ten minutes have passed since they got out of the car and walked. Fortunately, this was a hot spring area. They would have frozen walking at night on the hill otherwise. ¡°As the VIP area that Mr. Tanner has reserved is the furthest in, where the environment is quiet, so we have to walk for a while, but we are almost there. Don¡¯t worry,¡± the driver said. Mia grunted in annoyance butined no more. They followed the driver through several areas, asionally hearing a burst ofughter, but no one was in sight. ¡°It is a shared hot spring over there, so there are more people,¡± the driver exined. Kisa pulled back her eyes and thought, ¡®I had better take a walk around only during the day. I can¡¯t really see anything now.¡® Bursts ofughter could still be heard asionally. After walking for about ten minutes, a guffaw suddenly came. Kisa looked up and saw Adriening this way with a cigarette in his mouth. ¡°Mr. Tanner, here they are. I have brought them to you.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you. You may leave now.¡± The driver took the tip given by Adrien and happily walked back to the way he came. Adrien walked up to Kisa with a kind smile on his face. ¡°Here you are. Come in with me.¡± ¡°Sorry for keeping you waiting.¡± Kisa smiled politely back at him. ¡°That¡¯s alright.¡± Mr. Kooper and the others are not here yet. Let¡¯s go in first.¡± Adrien sounded friendly. Kisa frowned. ¡°Gilbert ising too?¡± Adrien smiled. ¡°I heard Mr. Kooper Sr. ising too, so we will have a merry get¨Ctogether this time.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes were downcast, and she regretteding. Adrien turned around to lead them toward a vi not far away. Jensen looked at Adrien from behind, his expression looking dispassionate under the dim light. Following Adrien forward, a vi came into view. It not only had two stories but also covered arge area. The vi was brightly lit, with the front yard clearly illuminated. Kisa was a little surprised that a vi had been built on top of the hill. No wonder the driver said that this was a VIP area. It was not only grand but the garden was nted with an assortment of flowers and nts. As Adrien walked into the vi, a tantalizing aroma drifted into Kisa¡¯s nostrils, instantly making her feel hungry. She looked inside and saw a feast on the dining table. Adrien led them to the couch first. Kisa asked him, ¡°Youe here often, don¡¯t you?¡± Because she felt Adrien knew the ce N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. well. Adrien flickered the ashes into the ashtray and smiled. ¡°I know the owner, so Ie here at least twice a year.¡± He got up to offer Jensen a cigarette. ¡°No, thanks.¡± Jensen refused apathetically. Kisa nced at Jensen with surprise. She felt it was strange; the Jensen she knew had always been easy¨Cgoing, and he introduced Adrien to her. But at this moment, she felt that the rtionship between Jensen and Adrien was not as good as she thought. To be more precise, she felt Jensen had something against Adrien. Adrien was not offended. He put the cigarette back in the pack with a smile. ¡°Good. Smoking is detrimental to health.¡± ¡°Everyone knows it, but how many people can do it?¡± Jensen looked at him. Seemingly, there was more to it than what was said. Adrien smiled and puffed out a ring of smoke. ¡°Jensen, do you me me for not taking care of Ms. Beckerst time? Had I not left her alone in the bistro, she wouldn¡¯t have gotten drunk and sprained her ankle?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 563 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 563 Chapter 563 The Best Stepmother in the World Kisa was bbergasted and quickly shook her head. ¡°No. Jensen did not mean that. I sprained my ankle because of my carelessness. It has nothing to do with you. Jensen didn¡¯t mean to offend you. He has driven for hours and must be exhausted.¡± Adrien smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I was just joking with him.¡± Kisa pursed her lips. She had felt something was not quite right with Jensen today. ¡®By all rights, Adrien is Jensen¡¯s business partner, and his attitude really shouldn¡¯t be like this. Besides, Jensen always knows what should and should not be done and said. There must be a reason for him to act this way.¡® Mia looked at Adrien and then at Jensen anxiously. After a while, she changed the subject and asked, ¡°I¡¯m starving. When will dinner be ready?¡± Adrien checked his watch. ¡°Mr. Kooper and others should be here soon. The dinner will start as soon as they arrive.¡± ¡°That is hard,¡± Mia said with a half¨Csmile. Feeling bored, she smoked again. Kisa, worried that Jensen might repeat something inappropriate, talked to Adrien about work. Adrien was mindful of Kisa¡¯s injured foot and the fact that it was almost New Year¡¯s Eve, so he agreed to wait until after the New Year to start shooting. The two were having a pleasant conversation when voices apanied by footsteps were heard outside the door. Kisa looked over and saw Gilbert walking in, her eyes coincidentally colliding with Gilbert¡¯s. He looked away at once, his expression indifferent, as if he had only seen a stranger. Gilbert was followed by Madalyn, who came in with the help of two women: Sharon and Emma, Gilbert¡¯s blind date. ¡°Ma¡¯am!¡± Just as Kisa nced at Emma¡¯s face, two children came excitedly running toward her. ¡°It has been a long while. I missed you so much,¡± Ada said. ¡°I missed you too, Ma¡¯am. You seem to have lost weight,¡± Andrew said. Kisa was embarrassed, wondering how she had lost weight when it had only been a few days. She thought these two children must have exaggerated it. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Madalyn¡¯s face darkened with anger when she saw how close the children were to Kisa. Emma also looked at her. Thest time they met, Emma was polite and gracious. But now she had the same jealous and vicious look as Sharon did. ¡®Probably someone has influenced her,¡® Kisa thought, ncing at Sharon, who smiled provocatively. Adrien saw how close Kisa was to the children and said, ¡°If you were the stepmother of Mr. Kooper¡¯s two children, you would be the best stepmother in the world.¡± Although it was a joke, the faces of Madalyn and a few others could not have been more darkened. But Adrien was a business partner, so Madalyn would say nothing no matter how angry she was. But Sharon could not care less and sounded sarcastic. ¡°That also depends on whether she qualifies as a stepmother.¡± Madalyn immediately shot her a nce. ¡°Shut up if you don¡¯t know what to say.¡± Sharon bit her lips and shut up at once. Adrien smiled, always with a modest and polite look. He quickly invited everyone to the table. As they all took their seat, Kisa was seated right next to Gilbert, as if by coincidence. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 564 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 564 Chapter 564 That Person Isn¡¯t at All Like You A faint tobo scent of Gilbert wafted into Kisa¡¯s nostrils, distracting her. Once everyone was seated, Adrien took the lead and raised her ss to Madalyn. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Mrs. Kooper Sr. toe to join us. It is really an honor for me.¡± ¡°I hope you won¡¯t find me too old to join you all.¡± Madalyn smiled and raised her ss to clink with Adrien. Adrien smiled and shook his head. ¡°Not at all. It is all about having a good time.¡± Madalyn would usually look furious whenever she saw Kisa, but she smiled nicely in front of outsiders. Even at eighty, there was still a hint of elegance and nobility in how she carried herself. She sized up Adrien and then looked at his face with a frown before letting out a smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to ask; have we met before, Mr. Tanner?¡± Adrien was holding his cutlery, and his hand froze for a second. He then lowered the cutlery on his te and looked straight at Madalyn. ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Why?¡± ¡°Oh, nothing. I just think you look familiar as if we have met before.¡± Gilbert¡¯s grip on his ss tightened, and he subconsciously looked at Adrien. It was not just him who felt that Adrien looked familiar, but also his grandmother. ¡®What is going on?¡® ¡°Really?¡± Adrien took a sip of wine and smiled. ¡°Maybe it is because the person you have met looks like me, Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡± Madalyn shook her head. ¡°That man is not at all like you.¡± Then she suddenly said, as if to herself, ¡°I know, you can¡¯t be him.¡± Kisa could not help looking at Madalyn. She somehow felt that Madalyn was trying to recall someone. Adrien smiled and said nothing else. He just tilted his head and took a sip of wine. Many people were at the dining table, but Kisa felt the atmosphere was less than ideal, as everyone seemed to have an ax to grind. Even themunicative Jensen was sitting silently at the table. So Kisa had no choice but to offer Adrien a toast and talk to him. After all, he was the one who invited them all here, not to mention he was her business partner. So she figured she must not slight him. ¡°Mr. Tanner, are there other people besides us this time?¡± Adrien nodded. ¡°The owner of Kerrona Hill ising over tomorrow. He said he would bring a friend who had just gotten married and nned toe over with his new wife for their honeymoon.¡± Kisa nodded. The owner of Kerrona Hill aroused her interest. She had heard many stories about him while on the way here. ¡°Mr. Kooper, aren¡¯t you and Ms. Becker going to have a drink?¡± Adrien suddenly smiled and asked Gilbert, who had been silent. ¡°We are business partners now. It seems inappropriate for you two to act like strangers, right?¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. All eyes were on Kisa and Gilbert, who then swirled the winess in his hand and let out a half¨Csmile. ¡°You are right. Since we are business partners, we should have a drink.¡± While speaking, he poured himself a ss of wine. Kisa¡¯s ss was full, so she did not need to top it up. As they sat next to each other, making a toast to each other was even more convenient. Gilbert looked at her. His eyes and face were devoid of emotion. ¡°Come on, Ms. Becker, I will drink to you.¡± He then smiled faintly. Kisa did not feel like drinking to him at all. But in front of everyone, especially Adrien, she still had to hold up her ss. Their sses gently clinked together softly. ¡°Aaaaah!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 565 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 565 Chapter 565 Unforgiving Before Kisa knew what had happened, hot soup was sshed on her body. The soup had just been hotly served on the table. Kisa felt her skin starting to burn. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean it.¡± Sitting next to her, Emma quickly got up and took a tissue to wipe the sshed soup from her body. Jensen got up at once and came over to check on Kisa anxiously. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Kisa shook her head and brushed away Emma¡¯s hand. ¡°It is alright. I will do it myself.¡± She took a tissue and wiped the soup stains from her legs and her white down jacket while furrowing her brows in annoyance. The most annoying thing was when Emma cried and apologized to her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ms. Becker. I really didn¡¯t mean to do it. I just wanted to serve a bowl of soup to Mrs. Kooper Sr. But somehow, my hand slipped. I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m really sorry.¡± ¡°It is okay. I don¡¯t me you,¡± Kisa said calmly and held back her emotions. But Emma cried even harder. ¡°Ms. Becker, don¡¯t be angry. It is all my fault. What should I do? I¡¯m really sorry.¡± ¡°I said I don¡¯t me you.¡± While the burning sensation on her leg got more intense, Emma¡¯s cries kept ringing in her ears. Kisa¡¯s tone of voice became harsher as she felt irritated. Emma looked cautious and fearful as if she was the one being bullied. ¡°Miss Thompson has apologized to you. Do you have to be so unforgiving?¡± Sharon scoffed at Kisa. Kisa calmly looked at Sharon. ¡°What makes you feel that I¡¯m unforgiving?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you still ming her with your bitter face and harsh tone of voice?¡± Kisa sneered. ¡°I told her I don¡¯t me her, but she didn¡¯t understand, so I had to say it again in a louder tone, lest she still not understand. And I said from the beginning that it was okay, but she was the one who wouldn¡¯t stop. I wonder what her intention is.¡± Emma¡¯s expression changed, and she cried. ¡°Ms. Becker, please don¡¯t use me like this. I didn¡¯t mean to ssh the soup on you. It was an ident. It was because I was afraid you would me me that I kept apologizing to you. Ms. Becker, please believe that I really didn¡¯t mean it.¡± Kisa could not be more annoyed. She just wanted to get out of there and see how bad the burn on her legs was. She took a breath, suppressed her emotions, and nodded at Emma. I believe you didn¡¯t mean to do that, okay?¡± After saying that, she stared at Emma with a serious face, stunning Emma for a second. Emma opened her mouth and wanted to say something when Madalyn suddenly spoke.¡± That is enough. Why keep stressing that you didn¡¯t mean it? I think Ms. Becker is also a broad¨Cminded person. Since she said she doesn¡¯t me you, you can quietly sit down.¡± ¡°It is just a minor ident. I will ask the maid to take Ms. Becker up to change her clothes. Adrien chuckled and casually beckoned a maid. ¡°There are many rooms in this vi. I have arranged for each of you a room. Ms. Becker, please follow the maid to your room.¡± Kisa nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. If she had continued to talk with Emma, she could have lost her cool. She found that Emma seemed different when she met her this time. Thest time they met,All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Emma and Sharon were at loggerheads. But this time, they seemed to be on the same side. So she wondered if Emma was stupid or if Sharon was a skilled tactician. ¡°Ms. Becker, this way, please.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kisa nodded and got up with difficulty with her crutches. Sitting next to her, Gilbert nced at her, unmoved, not intending to help her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 566 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 566 Chapter 566 Scalding Perhaps because of the pain from the scald on her legs or the slippery floor, Kisa failed to get up twice. Sharon, sitting across the table, took the opportunity to taunt her. ¡°Ms. Becker, you¡¯re really delicate; a sprained ankle has taken so long to heal.¡± Kisa smiled at her calmly. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m not delicate, just that my body is so weak that even a minor injury takes a long time to heal.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so pretentious!¡± Mia, sitting next to Sharon, could not help but mock. Kisa was not angry, as she was used to hearing Mia¡¯s taunts. And when Sharon heard Mia say the same thing about Kisa, she was even more triumphant and sneered at Kisa tantly. ¡°This beautiful woman is right; you are really pretentious. If I remember correctly, you have been like this since you were a child, making a mountain out of a molehill for a minor injury. You were in a wheelchair two days ago, so why not today? Is it because it will catch too much attention? If you were really afraid of attracting too much attention, you wouldn¡¯t have changed into a cane. A cane is not much more discreet than a wheelchair.¡± ¡°Well, you are right about everything.¡± Kisa smiled at her and was not angry. ¡°So, are you done? I will be upstairs if you are done. Enjoy your meal.¡± Sharon appeared to be stunned, not expecting such a calm reaction from Kisa. ¡°Look at her attitude; she is so arrogant.¡± After a while, she looked at Mia, thinking she was on the same side as her. But Mia was just busy eating her food and ignored her. So Sharon gritted her teeth and shot a nce at Kisa as she went upstairs. Madalyn looked at Sharon and then at Emma, kneading her forehead, seemingly regretting bringing these two women along. Adrien leaned back in his chair to smoke with a smile while Gilbert silently took care of the children as they ate, as if anything that happened at the table had nothing to do with him. Lea and Jensen helped Kisa to go upstairs together. The vi wasrge, with many rooms. So Adrien had arranged for each of them a room. Kisa¡¯s room was at the end of the hallway with a magnificent view from the window. After entering the room, Kisa asked Jensen to leave. ¡°I¡¯m fine after getting changed. Please tell Mr. Tanner I¡¯m full and thank him for his hospitality.¡± Jensen nced at therge soup stain on herp. He wanted to say something, but words were stuck in his throat. After getting out of Kisa¡¯s room, he did not go downstairs but leaned against the window at the end of the hallway and smoked. He did not understand why Adrien had invited Gilbert and Kisa to the spa, but he felt that something bad was going to happen on this trip. Jensen looked up at the ceiling, remembering Adrien¡¯s smile just now, and frowned. ¡®What exactly are you up to this time?¡® he asked in his mind. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Aah, Kisa, your leg!¡± Lea could not help eximing in shock when she saw arge part of Kisa¡¯s skin had been scalded after she pulled down her jeans. The scald was so obvious on her fair skin. The good thing was that there were no blisters. ¡°You go get me a basin of cold water.¡± Lea scrambled to the bathroom and returned with a basin of cold water. Kisa soaked a towel in cold water and put it on her leg. It did not hurt too much at first, but the pain grew intense after a while. Lea said anxiously, ¡°I will ask Mr. Tanner if he has any medication for the burn.¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°It is alright. This is a resort, and it is nighttime. Where are we going to find scalding medication? Let¡¯s not bother anyone.¡± ¡°But your leg¡­¡± ¡°It is okay. It is not blistered, and it is going to heal in a while.¡± Just then, there was a knock at the door. Before Kisa could stop her, Lea went to answer the door. Kisa scrambled to look for something to cover her leg. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 567 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 567 Chapter 567 Delivering Ointment At the moment, she was sitting on the leather couch, on which a pillow was nestled in the corner, with nothing to cover her legs. She panicked and went to pick up the jeans on the floor, then nced at the door in embarrassment¨Ceven more so when she realized it was Gilbert standing outside. She pulled her jeans haphazardly over her legs, and her cheeks blushed. ¡°Mr. Kooper,¡± Lea looked puzzledly at Gilbert, ¡°are you looking for Kisa?¡± Gilbert nced expressionlessly over Kisa¡¯s white legs, his eyes lingering on herce pant legs for a few seconds before looking away. He then tossed a tube of ointment at Lea and turned to leave. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Lea picked up the ointment and asked, ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°It is for burns. The kids asked me to bring it over.¡± Gilbert had already walked away as his voice trailed off. Lea nced at him in surprise as he left, then turned to close the door. ¡°Mr. Kooper has an ointment for burns.¡± Lea excitedly handed the scalding medicine to Kisa. Kisa took a look at it. It was indeed an ointment for burns, and it had been opened. ¡°He has children, so it is not surprising that he would bring a first¨Caid kit on a trip,¡± she said faintly. ¡°So, Mr. Kooper is a very thoughtful man.¡± Kisa stared at the ointment in her hand with a faint smile. ¡®That man is indeed very attentive to his children.¡® ¡°But Mr. Kooper just said that the children asked him to deliver the ointment. That is strange. We adults didn¡¯t even know you were scalded. How did the children know?¡± Kisa did not want to think too much. She unscrewed the ointment and rubbed it on her leg, a faint smile spreading across her face. ¡°Who knows?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper must have thought you might have burned yourself but was too embarrassed toe and deliver the ointment. So he lied and said the children asked him to bring it.¡± Kisa¡¯s hand paused and then smiled at Lea. ¡°You have a good imagination. Why don¡¯t you be a screenwriter?¡± Lea jokingly punched her. ¡°Stop teasing me, Kisa.¡± Kisaughed and said nothing more. She did not want to know if it was Gilbert or someone else asking him to bring the ointment to her. The ointment felt cool once applied on the skin of her legs, and it soon relieved the burning sensation. She leaned back in her chair and looked at the ointment in her hand. At night, Gilbert, wearing light gray sportswear, waszily sitting on a wicker chair in front of the vi, smoking. Adrien looked at him, clenching and unclenching his hands several times. After a while, he walked over to him with a bottle of wine and two sses. ¡°You are all by yourself here? You want a drink?¡± Gilbert smiled and gestured with his hand that held the cigarette for him to sit down across from him. Adrien sat down and poured two sses of wine. He pushed one ss to Gilbert. ¡°Is there something between you and Ms. Becker?¡± Gilbert shook his head and smiled silently. Adrien sighed. ¡°I heard things about you and Ms. Becker; you were husband and wife. Ms. Becker is a woman, and no matter the grudges between you and her, we as men should be more broad¨Cminded and don¡¯t argue with her.¡± Gilbert looked at Adrien with amusement. ¡°Do I look like I have argued with her?¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha, that is not what I mean. It is just that you seem to be cold toward her. We are partners. We shouldn¡¯t get along like strangers. Otherwise, how can we work together next time, don¡¯t you think?¡± Adrien nced at his face, and as if thinking of something, he suddenly said, ¡°Speaking of which, you and your father are quite simr.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 568 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 568 Chapter 568 Rpse Gilbert frowned. ¡°My father?¡± ¡°Yes, I met your parents. See, your eyes are simr to your father¡¯s. Seeing you always reminds me of him.¡± Fragments of memories shed in his mind, anding along with those memories was an unspeakable fear. Gilbert subconsciously clenched his hand on his knees, and with the other hand, he pushed the cigarette into his mouth with urgency, as if smoking could relieve his inner panic and fear. Adrien did not notice the abnormality. He took a sip of wine, and his gaze drifted away as if he recalled the past. ¡°Your father was a famous figure in Calthon, rich and handsome, with many women craving for him. At that time, we often¡­¡± As if he realized he had said something wrong, he suddenly stopped, took another sip of wine, and switched topics to talk about Gilbert¡¯s mother. ¡°Your mother is also a capable person, a famous artist manager who looked like a perfect match whenever they stood side by side. It was a pity¡­ ¡± while speaking, his eyes that had gone through the vicissitudes of life drifted into the distance with a touch of sadness. ¡°It is a pity that a cruel car ident took them¡­.¡± ¡°Aaaaah!¡± Gilbert suddenly roared in pain before Adrien could finish his sentence. Adrien¡¯s face changed. He looked at him with a frown. ¡°You¡­¡± Gilbert suddenly got up and overturned the small wooden table in front of him, then buried his head in his hands, crying out in pain. A scene of blood¨Csoaked images shed in his mind, almost suffocating him. He felt his temples pulsating, and his head hurt as if it would explode. Adrien¡¯s expression changed, and he rushed to help him. But Gilbert swatted his hand away and crouched on the floor, clutching his head and murmuring in a trembling, fearful voice. Adrien looked on and was baffled. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Gilbert!¡± Just then, Kisa came rushing over with her cane, ignoring the pain in her ankle. She kneeled down in front of him and grabbed his hand anxiously. ¡°Gilbert, what is going on? What is wrong with you?¡± But Gilbert looked as if he did not know her. He swatted her hand away, then buried his head in his arms again as if he would feel safe like this. Kisa looked over at Adrien. ¡°What is going on?¡± Adrien also looked puzzled, and before he could say anything, Jensen rushed over, followed by Madalyn and Davian. Jensen nced at Gilbert and then at Adrien. ¡°What exactly did you say to him?¡± Kisa looked at Jensen with surprise. She did not know why Jensen seemed hostile toward Adrien, who shot a piercing nce at Jensen before he looked at Madalyn with an entirely different expression. ¡°I was just mentioning his parents when he suddenly became like this. What the hell is going on?¡± He said apologetically to Madalyn. Madalyn sighed and gestured to Davian to help Gilbert up. But Gilbert did not seem to recognize anyone and was uncooperative. When Davian approached, he iled his arms about. When Kisa saw this, she went up to help. But Madalyn yanked her away and yelled at her in anguish, ¡°It is all because of you. Get out of my way!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 569 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 569 Chapter 569 Mental Trauma As Kisa¡¯s injured ankle had yet recovered, she was yanked out of her bnce and plunged to the ground. Jensen hurriedly held her up and looked at Madalyn. ¡°She has done nothing wrong.¡± ¡°She has done nothing wrong?¡± Madalyn sneered, ¡°She is the one who did this to Gilbert, and you are telling me she has done nothing wrong?¡± Jensen and Kisa looked at each other, neither of them understood what Madalyn was talking about. Adrien quietly watched on with questions on his mind. He then asked Madalyn, ¡°What is going on here, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?¡± Madalyn wiped her tears away in anguish. ¡°Gilbert was in the car when his parents met with an ident. His mother saved him with her life. He was covered in blood,pletely terrified. He only slowly got better after countless visits to a psychiatrist. But no one can mention his parents in front of him. Otherwise, he will suffer a rpse.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know that,¡± Adrien said with a sad face. ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask the doctor what was going On?¡± Madalyn shook her head. ¡°It is a mental trauma. The doctor said it was incurable. It is all up to himself.¡± All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t know I couldn¡¯t talk about his parents in front of him.¡± ¡°It is not your fault. It is that woman¡¯s fault.¡± Madalyn red at Kisa once again, the bitterness on her face frightening. She didn¡¯t know what she had done to bring Gilbert to such a state. Back then, when that car ident happened, she was not yet born. So she wondered why Madalyn med this on her. ¡°It is not good! Mr. Kooper has passed out.¡± Madalyn¡¯s face changed, and she hastily tugged at Adrien¡¯s hand. ¡°Call a doctor! Quickly, call a doctor for my grandson.¡± Adrien looked at the frail hand grabbing at his arm, and her eyes shed with a hint of hatred and sadness, as well as a touch of indefinable affection. Atst, Jensen and Davian carried Gilbert into his room. Kisa had an indescribable feeling when she looked at Gilbert¡¯s pale face. She hated Gilbert but felt sad at seeing his condition. Her heart ached, especially after learning about the car ident. ¡®Gilbert should be the same age as Andrew and Ada at the time of the ident. He must have been so helpless and terrified that it traumatized him.¡® She quietly leaned against the wall in the hallway, downhearted. Not long after, Jensen came out of Gilbert¡¯s room. He nced at her and then walked slowly over to her. With his hands digging into his pants pockets, he leaned against the wall, as was she. Neither of them spoke. After a while, Jensen finally opened his mouth. ¡± Don¡¯t worry. Gilbert just has a rpse. He will be fine after a good night¡¯s sleep.¡± ¡°The trauma is with him for the rest of his life. I pity him. He must be resisting the memories of the car ident scene and his parents.¡± Jensen pursed his lips for a while. He then took out a cigarette and lit it. ¡°I met his parents. They were nice people. Gilbert is more like his father.¡± Kisa suddenly remembered the tiny notebook in which her mother kept track of things. Her mother had liked Gilbert¡¯s father at first and thought his father must be really quite nice. Kisa and Jensen stayed quietly in the hallway for a long time. Jensen was worried about her foot injury and brought her back to her room. Many people lost sleep on the first night. In Adrien¡¯s room, Jensen sat on the couch, smoking, his expression indifferent. Adrien nced at him, and then his eyes narrowed. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 570 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 570 Chapter 570 Are You Thinking of Avenging His Parents? ¡°Gilbert has a mental trauma? Howe you never told me about it?¡± Adrien asked in a reproachful voice. Jensen chuckled. Smoke was puffed out from his mouth and obscured the sneer on his face. He flicked off the ashes of his cigarette and said in a faint voice, ¡°I didn¡¯t know he had it either.¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Jensen sneered, ¡°Why not? Since his parents passed on from the car ident, everyone in the Kooper family was forbidden to mention his parents. For all the years I lived in the Kooper family, I had never seen him have this condition. How could I know he had a mental trauma? With a cigarette in his mouth, Adrien looked at Jensen with disgust. ¡°You better tell me the truth.¡± Jensen smiled nonchntly. ¡°Believe it or not.¡± All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Adrien gave him a baleful re. ¡°Get out.¡± Jensen didn¡¯t want to stay, either. He got up and walked outside. But he stopped at the door, running the cigarette between his thumb and index finger. After a while, he finally opened his mouth. ¡°Do you have anything to do with his parents¡® car ident?¡± Adrien instantly grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it at Jensen. ¡°Get the hell out of here.¡± Jensen gritted his teeth. ¡°You had better not. Or else¡­¡± ¡°Or else what? You want to avenge his parents¡® death?¡± Jensen said nothing more. He pulled the door open and walked out. Adrien threw another cup again, and it smashed against the door. He threw himself on the couch and let out a weird smile. ¡°Sell¨Cout!¡± Kisa did not sleep all night; it was only in the early morning that she finally got some shut- eye. Before long, the sound of conversation downstairs woke her up, but she did not recognize those voices. She dragged herself up and over to the window, where she saw two men and two women downstairs. One of them looked a little familiar; it could be Kohen. She wiped the condensation off the window and looked carefully¨Cit was Kohen. But she did not recognize the other three. Adrien was downstairs exchanging pleasantries with them. She stood by the window for a while, looking at them as they entered the vi, then she went back to the bed and sat down. She expected Adrien would introduce them to her at lunch, so she retreated under the covers and did not n to go downstairs. Gilberty motionless on the bed, with one arm resting on his eyes, so no one knew if he was awake. Davian wrung his fingers and asked him in a whisper, ¡°Mr. Kooper, are you awake?¡± Gilbert did not respond. Davian sighed, figuring he could probably not go to the hot spring today by the looks of Gilbert. He bowed his head listlessly, leaning back in the chair and nodding off. ¡°I had another attackst night, didn¡¯t I?¡± Gilbert snapped all of a sudden, startling Davian with his hoarse voice. Davian snapped back and said, ¡°You are awake, Mr. Kooper?¡± Gilbert removed his arm from his eyes. His face and eyes were expressionless. ¡°She saw it when I had an attack, didn¡¯t she? It was scary, wasn¡¯t it?¡± Davian quickly shook his head. ¡°You just imagined things, Mr. Kooper. She said nothing. But from what I sawst night, she seemed worried about you.¡± ¡°She was worried about me?¡± Gilbertughed in a self¨Cdeprecating way, and Davian did not know what to say. Davian changed the subject and said, ¡°Peter Webb, the owner of Kerrona Hill, came over this morning, and Kohen also came with him.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 571 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 571 Chapter 571 Woman Sizing Up Woman All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Is it them?¡± He knew Kohen but had only heard about Peter Webb, not meeting him in person. Both Kohen and Peter were not simple characters, and Adrien being so close to them meant he was not simple either. At lunchtime, the table was full. Fortunately, the table was big enough. Otherwise, it would have been a bit awkward. Adrien introduced everyone to each other. Except for Kohen, Kisa could not help but take a closer look at the other three. The one sitting next to Kohen was a pretty woman named Eylul Sandoval, who was modestly dressed and gentle and said to be Kohen¡¯s new wife. Although they were a couple, the two did not look affectionate to each other. They even appeared a little distant. The man who came with Kohen was Peter Webb, the boss of Kerrona Hill. Peter looked handsome and had nted eyes with a tad of femininity. He was also sitting next to a woman named Jolina Wayne, who, as her name suggests, had a quiet appearance. But Jolina was keeping her head low and said nothing all the time. Kisa stared at the two pairs for a while, finding them strange. After having a simple meal, they all exchanged pleasantries for a while before going to the spa, which was divided into two pools: a men¡¯s and a women¡¯s pool. A few meters of flower and vine bed separated the two pools. It was a beautiful sight, with steam rising from the hot springs. Madalyn did not go into the hot spring because of her age. She went to the garden and enjoyed the flowers there. Kisa was wearing a blue one¨Cpiece swimsuit and a white bathrobe, slowly making her way to the pool with her cane in one hand and Lea¡¯s support in the other. The other people were already in the hot spring, including Mia, sitting against the wall near the pool with a cigarette in her mouth, looking rxed. Emma and Sharon were leaning together, sometimes whispering to each other, sometimes eating fruit on the edge of the hot spring. As for Eylul and Jolina, one was on the other side of the pool, and the other was on this side; they did not seem to know each other well. Kisa gave them a quick nce, then took off her robe and prepared to enter the water. As soon as she removed her robe, she felt a searing reing toward her. She subconsciously looked over and saw Emma staring at her up and down. Kisa wondered, thinking that the burn marks on her back were showing, and hurriedly ran her hands back. She was in a conservative swimsuit, clearly not showing anything. So she did not know what exactly Emma was looking at. up her While Kisa was wondering, she heard Emma sneer. ¡°I thought Ms. Becker had a great body, but it turned out to be average.¡± Kisa was speechless. She realized that Emma was just sizing up her body. ¡®A woman sizing up another woman¡¯s body? Doesn¡¯t she have anything else better to do?¡® She sneered, ¡°I¡¯m weak, so I can¡¯t get a fantastic body like Miss Thompson¡¯s. He who gets to marry you in the future will be the luckiest man in the world.¡± Undeniably, Emma had an impressive body. Besides Mia, Emma had thergest breasts among the women at the scene. Kisa looked down at herself. Hers was ordinary¨Cneither too big nor too small. Emma heard what Kisa said, and she was so proud of herself. She straightened her posture to show more of her figure in her sexy swimsuit. Mia shot a disdainful nce at her. ¡°What is the point of being proud of yourself here? Go to the men¡¯s pool if you want to do this, but not here. It¡¯s hurting our eyes.¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 572 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 572 Chapter 572 What If My Waistline Expands Kisa let out a burst of stifledughter. She really liked the way Mia taunted others. Emma was so angry that her face reddened, and she sneered at Mia, ¡°It¡¯s hurting your eyes. Heh, I think you must be jealous.¡± Mia changed her posture and leaned back. She was wearing red nail polish and holding a cigarette between her fingers. Her every move, every frown, and every smile were so charming that it stunned Kisa. Mia sat up slowly, revealing the cleavage. She did not need to push up deliberately to make those proud curves. She looked sideways at Emma and said, ¡°Did you just say I am jealous of you?¡± Now Emma could not find a word to respond, looking morose. Kisa covered her mouth, trying hard not tough, and then dipped into the water with Lea. The water temperature of the hot spring was just right. Once Kisa got in, she felt so much more rxed and went to sit next to Mia. Mia suddenly shot a nce at Kisa¡¯s breasts and snorted, ¡°You should eat more, or you will be a laughingstock.¡± Kisa felt embarrassed. ¡®This is not even a question of eating more or less, okay? What if my waistline expands if I eat more?¡® Lea took a string of green grapes to her. ¡°Kisa, dipping in this hot spring is so rxing.¡± Kisa nodded in agreement and leaned back against the wall of the pool to take some shut- eye. She had not slept all nightst night, and now she had only been in the hot spring for a while and already felt like sleeping. As she was drifting off, she heard Emma¡¯s voice again. ¡°Hello, Mrs. McCray. My name is Emma. I just got back from abroad. Nice to meet you.¡± With her half¨Copen eyes, Kisa caught a glimpse of Emma approaching Eylul across the pool. Kisa shifted her posture to lean back and heard Eylul say, ¡°Hello,¡± in a faint but polite way, then spoke no more. Emma looked embarrassed. Feeling that she had been snubbed, she returned to Sharon¡¯s side with resentment. ¡°What is the big deal? She is just a yokel. She should have felt honored that I talked to her. No one would have known her had she not been Mr. McCray¡¯s wife.¡± She wasining to Sharon, but everyone in the hot spring pool could clearly hear it. Kisa could not help but nce at Eylul. She remembered Jensen had once told her that Kohen had married a woman from the countryside. As much as Eylul came from the countryside, she looked just as graceful as others. She especially admired her calm temperament. Emma had ridiculed Eylul, yet she was still so composed. Sharon took a ss of red wine, nced at Eylul disdainfully, and said to Emma, ¡°You know she is a yokel and has never seen the world, don¡¯t you? Yet you still talked to her. Isn¡¯t that asking for trouble?¡± ¡°I said hello to her because she was Mr. McCray¡¯s wife, and thought it was not nice to ignore her. Who knew she was so arrogant.¡± ¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha, positively phrased, she is Mrs. McCray; negatively phrased, her family needed Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. money and forced her to marry Mr. McCray. Do you really think she is somebody important? ¡°I didn¡¯t know that.¡± Emma suddenly sneered, ¡°No wonder Mr. McCray seems cold toward her. It turns out that he was forced into the marriage. Tsk, she is shameless.¡± As well¨Cnurtured as Eylul was, she could not bear to hear such insults and slowly left the pool. Two staircases had been built around the hot spring pool, and anti¨Cskid carpets wereid on the pool¡¯s edge to prevent slipping. Eylul moved toward the closest staircase near Emma and Sharon. When Eylul stepped onto the carpet, Kisa noticed Emma was tugging on a corner of the carpet. She immediately knew something was not right and scrambled over. ¡°Watch out!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 573 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 573 Chapter 573 Kisa and Your Wife Fell Into the Water It was toote.

N?velDrama.Org. The water level of the hot spring pool was chest¨Cdeep. Eylul and Kisa had difficulty standing firm when they fell into the hot spring, struggling to stay afloat in the water. The more panicked they got, the more unstable they became. It did not help that Kisa had injured her ankle before this. After struggling for a while, she sank into the water. Lea was desperate and wanted to help Kisa, but she could not swim. As Lea tried to grab Kisa, who was paddling and kicking in a panic, she almost fell into the water. Mia was leaning against the wall of the pool, smoking expressionlessly. Lea was furious and yelled at her, ¡°Help Kisa!¡± Mia shrugged. ¡°I can¡¯t swim, and my leg is still hurt.¡± Lea cried, looking at Sharon and Emma. But the two women, one eating fruit and the other holding a ss of wine, were both looking on and gloating. Lea gave them a stern look and tried to pull Kisa out of the water while Jolina attempted to help Eylul. Maybe the noise had alerted the men on the other side. Kohen took a quick nce at the pool and asked in a deep voice, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Kisa and your wife both fell into the water.¡± As soon as Lea¡¯s voice trailed off, Gilbert jumped into the water, followed by Kohen. The two men were tall and strong and quickly pulled Kisa and Eylul out of the water, respectively. Eylul was still conscious. She tugged on Kohen¡¯spel, coughing a few times and spitting a few mouthfuls of water, and opened her eyes. Kisa, however, waspletely unconscious. The burn marks and the swollen ankles were conspicuous in contrast to her blue one¨Cpiece swimsuit. Gilbert nced at her ankle and pped Kisa¡¯s face anxiously.¡± Wake up, Kisa. Wake up!¡± But Kisa was still unresponsive. Jensen had ordered someone to call a doctor. As Adrien stared thoughtfully at Gilbert¡¯s anxious face, Jensen nced at Adrien, his hands clenched in fists. ¡°Kisa, wake up!¡± After several calls and Kisa still did not respond, Gilbert performed CPR. Atst, she coughed a bit, and Gilbert was relieved. He continued with CPR until she spat water out of her mouth. Kisa slowly opened her eyes, and in her hazy vision, she saw Gilbert¡¯s anxious face. But that anxious look onlysted for a second before it vanished as if it was a dream. ¡°How could you drown in such shallow water? Aren¡¯t you ashamed of yourself?¡± Gilbert grunted and rose to his feet with an indifferent look on his face, a far cry from the anxious man he had just been. Kisa struggled to sit up, and Lea rushed over to help her. She wiped off the water from her face and looked at Gilbert¡¯s sharp but clearly indifferent face. ¡°Try falling into the pool with an injured leg.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 574 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 574 Chapter 574 Proud of the Mess You Made She was already choking on the water, yet Gilbert was taunting her. Kisa was exasperated. ¡°Don¡¯t look for excuses. It was your fault,¡± Gilbert sneered. ¡°You!¡± Kisa was so angry that she no longer wanted to talk. At that moment, Emma suddenly said to Eylul with a concerned face, ¡°Mrs. McCray, are you okay? You were too careless. How could you slip and fall on the carpet? The thing is, you not only fell but got others involved.¡± Kohen squinted at Emma. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Emma subtly straightened her back to show off her cleavage and her proud body, yet no one appreciated it. She said to Kohen, ¡°I mean nothing else, but I¡¯m still in trepidation when I think back to how close Ms. Becker was almost knocked unconscious in the pool by Mrs. McCray. So I want to remind Mrs. McCray to be more careful while walking next time.¡± ¡°You know the reason she fell, don¡¯t you?¡± Kisa suddenly snorted at Emma. Emma¡¯s expression slightly changed, and she looked at Kisa with an innocent look. ¡°What do you mean by that? I really don¡¯t know why she fell. Are you trying to say that she fell on purpose?¡± Kisa rolled her eyes as she found Emma was the same type as Sharon, vicious and articte. Sharon then suddenly smiled at Kisa. ¡°Now you have reminded me. You were in the hot spring and had just gotten into the water. So why did you suddenly run after Mrs. McCray? You knew Mrs. McCray was leaving the pool and ran after her because you knew she would fall, so you staged the whole incident so that these men woulde to your rescue, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡®Good lord! This woman is trying to me me for Eylul¡¯s fall.¡® Just as she thought so, Gilbert instantly cast a suspicious nce at her.

Kisa went to her room, took a shower, and then changed into casual clothes. She sat by the window and felt much better after drinking a cup of hot tea. She could see the men¡¯s hot spring pool from where she sat. Not many people were left in that hot spring at the moment, just Gilbert, Peter, Andrew, Ada, ke, and others. Ada was sitting beside Gilbert. Andrew and ke had fun sshing water on each other and sometimes even on Gilbert. Looking at the bright smiles on the children¡¯s faces, Kisa could not help but smile. In the hallway, Lea stared with a strange look in her eyes at Mia¡¯s back. Perhaps sensing Lea¡¯s burning gaze, Mia looked back abruptly. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Lea was startled and shook her head when she snapped back from her shock.

She wanted to put them in a paper bag or something, but after looking around the room, she found none of it. She had no choice but to take the two packs in her hands. Mia¡¯s room was four rooms away from hers. She walked toward Mia¡¯s room with the two sanitary pads in one hand and her cane in the other. Suddenly, someone came up to her. Before she had even seen who the person was, she quickly hid the sanitary pads behind her. But because she was too panicked, the things slipped from her hands, and one fell on the floor. The words ¡°For Night Use¡± were conspicuously printed on the packaging. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 576 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 576 Chapter 576 Your Monthly Visitor Has Come, Too? Kisa hurriedly bent down to pick them up, but she could only manage to free up one hand, as the other was holding the cane and a pack of daily ¨C use sanitary pads. Whenever she picked up the night¨Cuse sanitary pad, her daily¨Cuse sanitary pad would fall out of her hands and vice versa. She was so embarrassed that her face turned red. Just then, a big shapely hand suddenly picked up the sanitary pad on the floor. The pack of flowery things looked strange in his hand. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Kisa looked up in embarrassment and saw Gilbert staring thoughtfully at the object in his hand. She was even more embarrassed, and her cheeks burned. ¡°G¨CGive it to me.¡± Gilbert looked at what was in his hand, then at her, and there was a little expression on his sharp face. ¡°It is a bit inappropriate to walk around with these two things in your hands, isn¡¯t it?¡± The man opened his mouth, his voice t, but reeked of a sneer. Kisa grunted and snatched the things back from him. ¡± Don¡¯t you think it isn¡¯t right for a man to stare at this stuff like that?¡± Gilbert just sneered, walking around her to leave. Kisa looked back at him, only to feel unlucky to meet him with these two packs of sanitary pads. Standing in front of Mia¡¯s door, Kisa raised her hand and knocked on it. After a while, the door opened, with Mia only poking her head out from behind the door. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Her voice sounded annoyed. Kisa smiled at her. ¡°I have brought you something.¡± With that, she waved the two packs in front of her. Mia¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°I can¡¯t believe you have brought this with you.¡± Only then did she pull the door open and let Kisa in. As soon as Kisa entered, she couldn¡¯t wait to take what Kisa was holding and head for the bathroom. Kisa looked at her desperate look with amusement. ¡°Slow down. Your leg hasn¡¯t healed yet, has it?¡± When Mia came out of the bathroom, she had changed into a home dress. Her face waspletely devoid of the embarrassment and annoyance she had just felt, and her face, with exquisite makeup, carried the arrogance and style she previously had. She lit a cigarette and satzily on the couch. ¡°What? Your monthly visitor is here too?¡± Kisa shook her head, and Mia¡¯s eyebrows knitted. ¡°You¡¯re not sick, are you? Why are you carrying this thing when you aren¡¯t on a period?¡± ¡°Mine is always not on time, so I must prepare beforehand. You see, it really came in handy now. You said that day my luggage is akin to moving my entire house with me whenever I¡¯m on vacation. Now it seems that I was right to bring those things.¡± Mia snorted. ¡°You are really troublesome.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t help it. We are women, and being a woman is troublesome.¡± ¡°That is you. I¡¯m not as troublesome as you do.¡± ¡°Ha-ha, had I thought this was a hassle as much as you thought, wouldn¡¯t you be embarrassed at the moment?¡± Mia snorted again and said nothing. Kisa looked at her smoking skillfully and could not help but say, ¡°You should probably cut down on this. It is not good for your health.¡± ¡°You are not only troublesome but also verbose.¡± Kisa smiled, not minding Mia¡¯s displeasure. She pursed her lips and suddenly looked over at Mia. ¡°You left ke at my ce before this. Were you away on business with Jensen?¡± Mia was taking a drag while Kisa spoke. She was transfixed for a second before letting out a smile. ¡°Yes, Jensen and I were together almost daily during those days.¡± After saying that, she stared at Kisa as if observing her reaction. But Kisa looked calm, without much emotion on her face. She took another drag on her cigarette, puffed out a ring of smoke, and asked, ¡°Why are you asking this?¡° Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 577 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 577 Chapter 577 Everything He Does is For You ¡°Jensen met Mr. Tanner on a business trip, and that is when you met Mr. Tanner, right?¡± Mia frowned. ¡°Why are you asking this?¡± Looking at Mia¡¯s wary look, Kisa was amused. ¡°Don¡¯t be so nervous. I just want to ask you if Jensen has any problems with Mr. Tanner because I feel his attitude toward Mr. Tanner isn¡¯t very good.¡± She still remembers when she met Mr. Tanner, Jensen told her that Mr. Tanner was very friendly, and Mr. Tanner was indeed very nice and kind. She could not understand why Jensen had such a hostile attitude toward Mr. Tanner here at the spa. Mia looked at her for a few moments and said faintly, Jensen and Mr. Tanner don¡¯t have any problems. They are business partners, and they get along exceptionally well. Just go out for a stroll if you are bored. Don¡¯t overthink, okay?¡± Kisa pursed her lips. ¡°Well, I guess I¡¯m really overthinking it.¡± With that, she got up and prepared to leave. Mia couldn¡¯t help but say from behind. ¡°Don¡¯t overthink. Jensen met Mr. Tanner because of you. Everything he did was for you,¡± she said with reluctance, but what she said was not far from the truth. Kisa was silent for a long time and then sighed. ¡°Yeah, that is why I¡¯m grateful to him.¡± Mia watched her walk out with mixed feelings. She then leaned back in her chair and took a drag anxiously, wondering what would Kisa¡¯s reaction be when she found out the truth. She shook her head and forced herself not to think about it. Adrien leaned back on the couch and smoked a cigarette. He nced at the man in front of him with a stern expression. No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the room, which was filled with the smell of smoke, was depressing. Jensen had one hand in his pocket, standing in azy and unruly posture. He looked at Adrien. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I will leave now.¡± ¡°Where do you think you are going?¡± Adrien barked, stopping Jensen in his tracks. But Jensen did not turn around. Adrien stared sternly at him. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Gilbert had no more feelings for Kisa?¡± Jensen then turned to look at him with a casual smile. ¡± There isn¡¯t. Did you find any feelings between them?¡± ¡± CLUNK! A teacup was hurled toward Jensen as the content was sshed all over him. Adrien said grimly, ¡°And what was Gilbert¡¯s worried face about when Kisa fell into the water today?¡± Jensen lowered his head, brushed the tea leaves off his suit, and said in a careless tone, ¡°If you think he still has feelings for her, then you can feel that way all you want.¡± With that, his smile faded, and he turned around and went out. Adrien stared grimly from behind as Jensen left. ¡°Don¡¯t think about helping them. No one can stop what I¡¯m going to do.¡± Jensen shrugged it off. As he came to the door and pulled it, he saw Peter raise his hand, about to knock on the door. Jensen¡¯s face turned bitter at the sight of him. Peter smiled at him. ¡°You are here, too?¡± Jensen ignored him, went past him, and walked outside. Peter smiled indifferently and walked in. ¡°Gee, Peter, you are here.¡± ¡°Hello, Uncle Adrien.¡± Jensen stopped in his tracks and nced sideways into the room. He saw Adrien hold Peter¡¯s shoulder All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. affectionately, with a rare smile on his face. Jensen sneered and walked downstairs. In the evening, Lea burst into Kisa¡¯s room with excitement. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 578 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 578 Chapter 578 Shut the Damn Door! Kisa had just finished her shower and wasing out with her towel wrapped around her body. When she saw the door wide open, she was stunned and yelled at Lea, Shut the damn door!¡± ¡°Ohhh¡­¡± Lea hurriedly closed the door behind her. But through the gap in the door, she still saw the expressionless face of Gilbert, who stayed across the hallway. Kisa hurriedly gathered up her towel and red at Lea. ¡°What are you doing barging in like that?¡± Leaughed. ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were in the shower. Besides, it is still early. Why are you taking a shower?¡± ¡°I identally spilled a drink on myself, so I went for a shower and forgot to lock the door. Why didn¡¯t you knock? ¡°I forgot.¡± Lea scratched her head in embarrassment as she walked up to her and held her arm. ¡°Okay, don¡¯t be mad. No one saw it.¡± Kisa rolls her eyes. ¡®Didn¡¯t Gilbert just see it?¡® The thought of Gilbert¡¯s expressionless face and unperturbed eyes just now made her sick to her stomach. She huffed || and pushed Lea away, then hopped on one foot to the closet to find something to wear. Seeing Kisa picking out pajamas, Lea hurriedly came over, and picked out a set of casual clothes for her. Kisa looked at her in puzzlement. Are you going outter?¡± She had already had dinner and was nning to go straight to bed. Even if it was warm here, it was winter, and it would bepletely dark in a few minutes. She nned to go out to enjoy the scenery tomorrow. ¡°They want to y games and asked me toe up to bring you downstairs,¡± Lea said smilingly. ¡°ying games? What games?¡± ¡°They didn¡¯t borate but just told me to bring you downstairs.¡± ¡°You go ahead. I want to sleep.¡± Kisa did not feel like going. ¡®Come on, Mr. Tanner told me to get you. It takes many people to y a game. Let¡¯s y for a while, and then we¡¯lle back up to sleep,¡± Lea said and pulled on Kisa. Kisa had no choice but to put on her casual clothes and follow her downstairs. The living room was lively today, and everyone was there. The men were talking, with Kohen sitting with his crossed legs, resting on the coffee table. Gilbert was leaning against the arm of the couchzily. Peter looked evenzier, half of his body lying on the couch and his legs resting on the coffee table, just like Kohen¡¯s. Only Jensen was sitting properly. As much as he also lookedckadaisical, his innate noble temperament was hard to ignore. The men were all handsome and pleasing to the eye. As for the women, Kisa looked around the room and found Mia leaning against the window, smoking. Sharon and Emma were sitting on a chair not far away, talking with their heads down. Eylul was sitting by the other side of the window, reading a magazine with her head down. As for Jolina, Kisa searched for her and found her standing in an inconspicuous corner, staring out the window in a daze. Jolina was petite, with silky ck hair cascading down her back. She had that look that made people have the urge to protect her. But after a long time, Kisa realized Jolina looked soft on the outside but was an irondy on the inside. Seeing Kisae down, Peter got up at once with a smile. ¡°Well, everyone is here. Let¡¯s get started.¡± Peter was tall, fair-skinned, and had sharp facial features, his pair of nted eyes looking wicked. For some reason, Kisa found him familiar at first nce.

Kisa truly felt that Emma was very dumb, going abroad for nothing, willingly bing a pawn of Sharon. ¡°No one asked you to wait. What are youining about?¡± Lea said defiantly. ¡°I¡¯m notining. I just think Ms. Becker is too unmannerly. Knowing everyone was waiting for her, she still took her sweet time. We are all respectable people. Why should we be made to wait for her?¡± Emma hissed. ¡°You¡­¡± Lea was exasperated. Kisa tugged at Lea¡¯s arm and smiled at Emma. ¡°Sorry to keep you waiting, but you all could have started first without me.¡± ¡°How could we? It was Mr. Tanner who invited Ms. Becker. We are only here by the reflected glory of Mr. Kooper. How could we not wait for you? What if Mr. Tanner isn¡¯t too happy with us?¡± Kisa smirked. ¡°Since you understand this, then what are youining about here? Trying to make your presence felt?¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Peter could not help but burst out into muffledughter. Emma¡¯s face instantly crashed with anger. She took two steps forward and looked like she was about to tear Kisa into pieces. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Peter saw this and immediately got up. ¡°All right, all right. We are all here to have fun. Don¡¯t ruin the party.¡± He then asked a staff member to prepare the game. There was also a lounge on the side of the dining room, with a huge solid wooden table with many rattan chairs. The staff member took the flowers off the table and set arge te and a wine bottle on it. Kisa was still trying to figure out what game they were ying. Gilbert was the first to sit down, and Emma rushed over to sit next to him. Sharon gave her a side nce before sitting on the other side of Gilbert. Kisa secretly sneered as women swarmed around Gilbert like bees to honey. After a while, Kohen and Eylul also sat down. Next was Jensen, who Mia followed. ¡°Let go of me. I¡¯m not ying this game.¡± Suddenly, an exasperated voice rang out, out of ce with the atmosphere of the moment. Kisa looked over in puzzlement and saw Jolina try to break away from Peter angrily. Peter looked grave as he gritted his teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t force me to do it the hard way. Since you are here, just have fun.¡± Jolina red at him with forbearance. Peter suddenly softened his tone. ¡°Okay, no more drama. Come on, let¡¯s go over there,¡± he said, bringing Jolina to the table. This time, Jolina did not resist. Everyone just thought it was normal bickering between couples. Kisa withdrew her eyes and said to Lea, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go there too.¡± The table was almost full at this moment, with just two seats left. No matter which seat Kisa took, she could look up and see Gilbert, and her eyes would always collide with his. She secretly gritted her teeth, regretting noting over to choose her seat earlier. Had shee earlier, she would not have had to choose between these two seats. After sitting down, Kisa asked Peter, ¡°What kind of game are we ying here?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 580 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 580 Chapter 580 Truth or Dare Peter raised an eyebrow. ¡°Take a guess. ¡°I can¡¯t.¡± Kisa smiled awkwardly. Peter looked at Gilbert again. ¡°Do you know what the game is?¡± Gilbert brought his cigarette to his lips, took a drag, and then carelessly said while puffing out a mouthful of smoke. ¡°Truth or Dare.¡± Peter smiled. ¡°It looks like Mr. Kooper has been ying many of these games.¡® Kohen leaned backzily in his chair and looked at Peter with disinterest. ¡°Can we y another game?¡± ¡°No.¡± Peter declined categorically. ¡°Is Mr. Tanner afraid N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. to tell the truth?¡± Eylul nced at Kohen. As her eyes collided with his, she calmly looked away. Kohen sneered, slowly sat up straight, and smiled at Peter with a bit of arrogance. ¡°I really have nothing to be afraid of.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Peter looked to Jensen again. ¡°Do you have anyments on the game?¡± ¡°No,¡± Jensen spoke faintly, not even ncing at him. Peter smiled. ¡°All right, let¡¯s get started.¡± He looked around the table and said to Kisa, ¡°Since you have never yed this game before, you will be the first to start. Spin the bottle on the table, and we can ask questions or make the person do something risky.¡± Kisa got the picture at once, and she nodded her head. Just as she was about to spin the bottle, Emma said defiantly, ¡°There are so many of us here. Why should she get to start first?¡± Peter tugged at the tie around his neck and smiled carelessly. ¡°How about you start first?¡± Emma felt embarrassed as Peter¡¯s reply made it look as if she was trying to cause trouble. Emma swirled the ss in front of her, looking awkward. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that I wanted to start first. I just thought we were all equal and why Ms. Becker should start first.¡± ¡°Well, you make a good point. So I will let you start now,¡± Peter said with a leathery smile, with a touch of contempt ring in his nted eyes. Emma certainly wanted to be the first to spin the bottle, but she faked a humble smile. ¡°How could I, Mr. Webb?¡± ¡°Are you done yet? You were told to start first, and you are still here dilly ¨C dallying.¡± Mia dumped her cigarette butt and yelled impatiently. She hated this kind of pretentious woman whom she found disgusting. Emma was transfixed, her face flushed with embarrassment. Kisa nced at the other people and saw Peter just smile and watch on. Gilbert and Jensen were smoking in silence. As for Kohen, he was bored and tapped the table with his fingers, seemingly running out of patience. While Emma was still pretending, Kisa smiled at her and said, ¡°Do you want to be the first to start or not? If not, then I will start.¡± She got up again to get the bottle in the middle of the table. Emma suddenly pounced on her and snatched the bottle away. ¡°Since Mr. Webb told me to start first, I will do it.¡± Kisa shrugged and sat back in her chair. Peter let out a smile and raised his finger at Emma. ¡°Cut the crap and get started.¡± Emma pursed her lips, half¨Cbent her body to put the bottle back on the small turntable and spin the turntable. All eyes were on the bottle. The few people who were just cking off also sat up straighter. After the bottle spun several times, it slowly came to a stop. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 581 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 581 Chapter 581 Have You Slept With Mr. Kooper? All eyes were on the mouth of the bottle, and the atmosphere was tense. The bottle finally stopped and the mouth of the bottle pointed at Sharon. Seeing this, Sharon was furious and yelled at Emma, Don¡¯t you know how to spin?¡± Emma shook her head hurriedly. ¡°I didn¡¯t know it would stop in your direction. I¨CI will spin it again.¡± ¡°s, you guys can just quit if you are afraid.¡± Peter stopped her at once, sneering at her and Sharon. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Sharon had too big an ego. ¡°Who says I¡¯m afraid? I ept the oue. Go ahead and ask your questions.¡± Peter smiled and looked at the others. ¡°Those of you who are interested, hurry up and ask.¡± Jolina and Eylul did not know Sharon, so they were not interested in asking her questions. Jensen looked uninterested, not to mention Kohen, who leaned back in his chair with a carefree look, seemingly uninterested in anything. It ended up with no one asking Sharon questions. Sharon looked even more awkward. She gripped the hem of her clothes and said, ¡°Are you going to ask? If not, let¡¯s move on to the next round.¡± ¡°s, not a single person wants to know your secret. This shows how unpopr you are. Tsk, people like you will surely win in this game.¡± Mia said in a mocking voice, with a half¨Csmile on her face and a cigarette in her hand. Sharon gritted her teeth in anger, and her face turned red. Emma stole a nce at her and said nothing. Peter suddenly smiled at Sharon. ¡°Since no one asks, let me ask you a question.¡± Sharon stared at him with a grim look on her face. Peter leaned backzily in his chair, holding a ss of wine in his hand, and swirled it, looking frivolous. He then asked, ¡°Have you slept with Mr. Kooper yet?¡± This first question was so explosive that everyone looked at Gilbert as if to see his reaction. But to the disappointment of everyone, Gilbert was expressionless, as if the person in question was not him. Sharon¡¯s face turned even redder when she was suddenly asked this question. She snarled, ¡°No one would ask such a question. Ask something else.¡± ¡°Heh, all questions are allowed in this game. You can¡¯t answer it, can you?¡± Peter smiled wickedly. His nted eyes seem to have a touch of contempt as if he despised everything in this world. Sharon did not know how to answer the question. She gripped the surface of the table in embarrassment. Kisa took a sip of wine and looked up, her eyes meeting Gilbert¡¯s. She calmly looked away and took another sip of wine, looking unruffled. Gilbert¡¯s hands on his knees tightened, but his face remained inexpressive. Peter ran out of patience and asked, ¡°Is my question difficult? So difficult to answer?¡± ¡°I¡­.. I¡­..¡± ¡°It has to be truthful. You must not lie. Mr. Kooper is here. Peter reminded her. ¡°He is just asking if you have slept with a man. We are all adults. Is it that hard to answer?¡± Mia said disdainfully . Sharon shot her a re and answered with reluctance, ¡± No.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Peter smiled yfully, ¡°It seems Mr. Kooper has good self¨Ccontrol. He has never slept with such a beautiful international superstar.¡± Sharon could not be more embarrassed. Kisa took her wine and knocked back. She had expected this answer. From the time she tested Sharon earlier, she knew Sharon had never slept with Gilbert. ncing at Kisa¡¯s unperturbed face, Gilbert felt inexplicably irritated. ¡°Is it my turn now?¡± he suddenly asked. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 582 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 582 Chapter 582 Have You Slept With Jensen Yet? Sharon was sitting next to Gilbert. If going counterclockwise, it would be Gilbert¡¯s turn to spin the bottle. But if going clockwise, that would be Eylul¡¯s turn. Since Gilbert spoke first, Peter said nothing but smiled. ¡® Go ahead.¡± || Gilbert was tall and had long arms, so he did not need to get up at all, and his long arm could reach out to touch the turntable on which the bottley. With the push of a finger, the small turntable will quickly spin up. Again, all eyes were on the bottle. Kisa stared closely at the bottle and had a bad feeling right from the start when Gilbert spun the turntable. As the bottle gradually slowed down, the feelings of bad omen grew stronger. She clenched her hands and looked on with bated breath. The bottle gradually stopped, and the mouth was pointing at Lea. Lea¡¯s face changed. Just when everyone thought the bottle had stopped, it suddenly moved again, and now its mouth pointed at Kisa. While Lea breathed a sigh of relief as Kisa tensed up. She looked up at the man across the table; he was leaning back in his chair and absently puffing away. She was tempted to suspect he was doing it on purpose, but it seemed a little hard to get the bottle to point at her urately. Everyone seemed to be enthused. Peter sat up straight and even gave a yful whistle. Kohen¡¯s half¨C open eyes werepletely opened while Jensen had stopped smoking and looked at Kisa with a frown. Mia nced at them and smiled. ¡°What a huge difference in treatments. No one cared about Miss Case. Now everyone wants to ask Ms. Becker questions. She is too popr to y this game and will be asked nasty questions.¡± N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. ¡°Since we have started, no one quits. I will ask the question first,¡± Peter said with gusto. Kisa frowned. From how Peter had just asked Sharon a question like that, she knew he would definitely not go easy on her by asking an unpleasant question. ¡°Have you slept with Jensen yet?¡± Sure enough, Peter kept harping on such a topic. Mia picked up the flower petals on the table and threw them at Peter. ¡°Your mind is probably full of this sh*t that you must keep asking such questions.¡± Peterughed yfully. ¡°Since we are ying Truth or Dare, the nastier the questions are, the more fun it is.¡± Jolina suddenly nced at him with a look of detestation in her eyes. Kisa did not want to answer that question and asked Peter, ¡°Can you ask another question?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Peter was quick topromise. Sharon was instantly offended. ¡°When I just asked you to change the question, you didn¡¯t. Why when she asks, and you are okay with it?¡± ¡°Well, she just can.¡± Peter nced at her and chuckled. You have a problem with that?¡± He was like an iron hand in a velvet glove; the broader his smile, the colder his eyes. Sharon was jealous and resentful, but she did not dare to say anything. After all, those men were all big names. Even though she used to be an international superstar, her status was nowhere near theirs. Peter looked at Kisa again as he came up with another tricky question. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 583 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 583 Chapter 583 You Go Kiss Jensen ¡°Who was on top when you and Mr. Kooper worked out?¡± ¡®This question¡­¡® Mia rolled her eyes. Kohen smiled at Peter. ¡°You really have only dirty thoughts in mind.¡± Jensen took a sip of wine and said expressionlessly, ¡°That is a nasty question. The person being asked may refuse to answer.¡± Peter suddenly grunted in disdain. ¡°Even Ms. Becker has said nothing. Who are you to give your opinion to? Since we all have chosen to y this game, we must abide by the rules.¡± Jensen shot him a bitter nce, and Peter ignored him, turning to look at Kisa, who tried hard to look unperturbed. She nced at Gilbert, who sat across the table and looked calm and collected. She gritted her teeth and asked Peter, ¡°Since it is Truth or Dare, what does Dare mean?¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Peter exined thoughtlessly, ¡°If you refuse to answer the question, then you have to perform an action ordered by the person questioning you.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Kisa understood now. Peter then added. ¡°Those actions are normally trickier than these questions. The Truth, at most, required you to answer a question, but you will have to perform an action for the Dare. So think carefully.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°I refuse to answer the question you just asked. Let me take the Dare.¡± ¡°You all are really uninteresting.¡± Peter pouted. ¡°If you can¡¯t think of anything for me to do, then give up and let others ask me questions instead.¡± Kisa smiled. ¡°No way.¡± Peter suddenly let out an evil smile. ¡°You go kiss Jensen.¡± Kisa frowned, thinking this guy was a good¨Cfor¨Cnothing. ¡°Peter, you are a jerk!¡± Mia was furious and grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them at Peter. Peter dodged it all and said with a smirk, ¡°I¡¯m asking Ms. Becker to kiss Jensen. That is none of your business.¡± After that, he looked at Kisa. ¡°Don¡¯t forget, you are the one who chose to make a Dare.¡± Sharon put the boot in, saying, ¡°That is right. We all are having fun. Don¡¯t tell me you will chicken out now.¡± Kisa gritted her teeth and mentally cursed Peter. She then sneered, her eyes downcast. ¡°Who told you I would chicken out?¡± With that, she got up on her crutches and slowly made her way over to Jensen. Peter was so wicked that he even whistled to make a definitely doing this on purpose. Watch out for their revenge on you.¡±N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. Peter shrugged. ¡°Bring it on.¡± While everyoneughed, Kisa walked up to Jensen. She still found it hard to perform Peter¡¯s request. After all, she had always just regarded Jensen as a good friend and brother. Kissing him was more difficult than kissing a strange male artist in a drama. Kisa held her cane in one hand and rested the other on Jensen¡¯s shoulder. Before she could kiss him, she felt a cold and piercing gazeing her way. She looked up in surprise to see Gilbert staring at her grimly. He had been acting nonchntly, but now his expression had changed. ¡®Heh! What right does he have to show me his face? He was the person who spun the bottle.¡® The thought that he might have done it on purpose made her angry. She looked indifferently at Gilbert, then gave Jensen a peck on the cheek. Peter burst into sardonicughter. ¡°Ms. Becker, I think you have misunderstood me. I said a kiss, meaning mouth -to¨Cmouth kissing, not a peck on the cheek.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 584 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 584 Chapter 584 Have You Ever Truly Loved Someone? ¡°Peter! Webb!¡± Mia said through gritted teeth. Her expression had darkened entirely. Peter ignored her and continued looking at Kisa with a half¨Csmile. Meanwhile, Kisa did not expect Peter to be this cunning. She gripped her crutches tightly and turned to Gilbert out of reflex. However, the man had already shifted his gaze away. The expression on his face was once again indifferent. Emma took the opportunity to sneer at Kisa, ¡°I heard that you and Mr. Kooper have a very close rtionship and are joined by the hip. The two of you have probably done some things in private, so why are you pretending to be shy when I¡¯m asking you to kiss him?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Jensen promptly stood up with a terrifying dark expression. Since he had always been soft¨Cspoken and mild- mannered, everyone was too frightened to speak when they saw his dark expression. ¡°You guys have fun. I¡¯ll go check on grandma,¡± he said and walked out. There was a dark aura surrounding Jensen. To Kisa, he seemed even more terrifying than when Gilbert was angry. Kisa stared at his retreating figure and wanted to say something. However, she could not say a thing. She felt like she had done something wrong to make him this angry. ¡®At the end of the day, I did nothing wrong. But why am I feeling guilty out of nowhere?¡® Kisa wondered. Peter took out a cigarette and mindlessly threw the cigarette packet to the ground. Then, he smiled carelessly, ¡°He¡¯s such a sore loser for a man his age.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because you kept asking him sleazy questions,¡± Mia snarled. Peter smiled mockingly, ¡°What do you mean sleazy? You all think so because you feel guilty and are sore losers.¡± All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Mia inhaled deeply and turned to the window. She did not want to talk to him. Gilbert leaned on the chair and exhaled one smoke ring after another. Kisa was still in a daze. She stared in the direction Jensen had left with a longing expression on her face. Gilbert smiled. Under his cigarette smoke, his dark eyes slowly narrowed. Suddenly, he moved his thin lips, ¡°Ms. Becker, let me ask you a question.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Peter was feeling bored earlier on. However, he suddenly became energetic. He sat upright and smiled at Gilbert, ¡°What do you want to ask her?¡± Gilbert ignored Peter. His indifferent and cold gaze remained fixated on Kisa. Kisa grabbed her crutches and trudged back to her seat. She turned to him and said calmly, ¡°Ask away.¡± ¡°Have you ever truly loved someone?¡± Gilbert asked the question in a neutral tone. There was not even a hint of expression on his face; it was as if he was speaking to a stranger. Kisa stared at him. Suddenly, she had shbacks of when she was younger. ¡®How could I possibly not have loved someone? Back then, I waspletely in love with him, but he chose to turn a blind eye,¡® she thought. She felt tears well up in her eyes and hurriedly tried to hide them. Suddenly, Peterughed, ¡°While this isn¡¯t a spicy question, it is pretty interesting. You should answer the question properly, Ms. Becker.¡± Gilbert casually smoked his cigarette and did not urge Kisa to answer him. Meanwhile, Emma and Mia had scornful expressions. ¡°She¡¯s putting on a show,¡± Emma said. || Sharon bumped Emma¡¯s arm and said sarcastically, ¡® Don¡¯t say that. Ms. Becker has dated too many men, she needs to think carefully about which one she truly loved. Or maybe, she wasn¡¯t genuine to any of them.¡± SO On the other hand, Mia was a quick¨Ctempered person. She roared at Kisa, ¡°I don¡¯t want to be that person, but it¡¯s such a simple question. You should at least give him an answer. I don¡¯t me them for mocking you.¡± Kisa repressed her shbacks and rposed herself. Then, she turned to Gilbert with an indifferent gaze. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 585 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 585 Chapter 585 The Man You Loved With Your Life ¡°I have!¡± Gilbert paused momentarily from smoking. Then, he heard Kisa say, ¡°I once loved someone¡­ With my entire life.¡± ¡°With your entire life? How much did you love them, to be willing to go to this extent?¡± Eylul suddenly asked. There was a hint of puzzlement on her clean and gentle ¨C looking face, ¡°Is a love like that worth it?¡± This was the first time Eylul spoke throughout the entire day. Kisa could not help but throw a couple of nces at her. However, Kohen promptlyughed before Kisa could answer Eylul. He looked at Eylul and said in a sarcastic voice, ¡°A woman who is greedy, vain, and profit¨Cseeking won¡¯t understand a love like this, so it¡¯s normal for you to not understand.¡® Eylul pursed her lips and lowered her head in silence. Meanwhile, Emma smiled smugly beside them. ?? Gilbert stared at Kisa momentarily before asking again, Who¡¯s the man whom you loved with your entire life?¡± ¡°Sorry, Mr. Kooper, but that¡¯s your second question.¡± The rule was that every person could only ask one question. That was why Kisa had the right to not answer his question. Gilbert stubbed out the cigarette butt and the sparks instantly went out. He threw the extinguished cigarette butt into the ashtray. He had an indifferent expression as if he merely asked the question on a whim, and he did not care if she answered his question or not. Suddenly, Peter pped his hands andughed, ¡°Does anyone else have any questions for her? If not, we can go for the next round.¡± ¡°I have a question for her,¡± Sharon suddenly said with augh. Kisa gazed at her calmly. ¡®This woman¡¯s always up to no good. Her question may be thornier than Peter¡¯s,¡® she thought. Sharon revealed a ghostly sinile and asked, ¡°Have you been wishing for Mr. Kooper¡¯s death as revenge for what happened to you in prison five years ago?¡± Lea could not help but say, ¡°What kind of question is that? Who asks a question like that?¡± Sharon smiled and turned to Peter, ¡°Can¡¯t I ask a question like that?¡± Peter shrugged, ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a problem. After all, you can supposedly ask any question in this type of game.¡± Lea was defiant and about to retort. However, Kisa quietly tugged on her hand promptly. Lea was frustrated, but she merely pursed her lips and remained silent. Sharon sat upright and shed Kisa a sinister smile, ¡± Please do answer my question, Kisa.¡± Kisa knew that Sharon was asking such a question to increase the misunderstandings between her and Gilbert. ¡®Gilbert will definitely hate and despise me even more if I say yes,¡® she thought. Kisa thought for a moment and answered coolly, ¡°Nope!¡± Sharon was startled. It was evident Kisa¡¯s answer was out of her expectation. She sneered, ¡°This is Truth or Dare, so your answer should be the truth.¡± Kisa smiled at her. ¡°This is the truth; I have never wished for his death.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± Sharon said confidently. Kisa was amused by her confidence, ¡°How do you know this isn¡¯t the truth? Or are you wishing for Mr. Kooper¡¯s death yourself and saying that I am?¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Peter suddenly let out suppressedughter. He leaned into the back of the chair with a cigarette in his mouth, Arguments between women are so interesting.¡± Sharon red at Kisa icily and said mockingly, ¡°You hate Mr. Kooper for sending you to jail. You also hate him for making you lose the child in your womb. How could you not wish for his death when you hate him to the bone?¡± N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. Kisa smiled at her slightly. ¡°Which one do you think is more satisfying: letting him die or making him regret his actions when he finds out the truth?¡± Next Chapter Coming Soon... Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 586 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 586 Chapter 586 This Is What You Call Skill ¡°Of course it¡¯s thetter! Seeing him regret his actions. when he finds out the truth is more satisfying,¡± Eylul suddenly said with a faint smile. Kohen could not help but side¨Ceye her judgmentally. Mia exhaled a smoke ring and smiled seductively, ¡°I also think it¡¯s more satisfying to let him live and see him regret.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Even if you killed the person who had hurt you, it still doesn¡¯t make up for the hurt that¡¯s been inflicted. Why not just watch him get what¡¯sing to him?¡± Lea joined the women¡¯s conversation. Emma nced at Gilbert¡¯s dark expression and was smart enough to not speak. Meanwhile, Sharon red at Kisa furiously and also did not speak. Suddenly, Peterughed and shook his head, ¡°Tsk. Seems like women are even more ruthless than men.¡± When he spoke, his gaze shifted to Jolina, who was sitting beside him. Jolina had not said a word from the very start. She hung her head low as if she were purposefully separating herself from them. Peter turned away. There was a hint of iciness and anger in his eyes. Kisa lowered her head and had some juice. Then, she turned to Sharon with a smile, ¡°Do you believe that I truly want Mr. Kooper to live on now?¡± Sharon snorted coldly. ¡°Who knows what you¡¯re truly thinking?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want Mr. Kooper¡¯s life; I want to see him regret. This is what I¡¯ve always wanted since I got out of prison.¡± ¡°Hah! You¡¯re in for a disappointment. I, Gilbert Kooper, have never regretted anything I¡¯ve done,¡± Gilbert immediately sneered after hearing Kisa¡¯s words. Kisa stared at the man; his gaze was icy. ¡®What was wrong with my eyes back then? I actually thought his gaze looked loving,¡¯ she thought. Kisa shrugged as if she did not care, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you regret it or not. That¡¯s what I think anyway.¡± Sharon continued sneering but did not retort. Suddenly, Peter smiled, ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s move on from the question and continue the game.¡± It was Sharon¡¯s turn to spin the bottle. She was so excited that she gripped the te and spun it with all her might. The te instantly spun around violently. The bottle on the te also spun quickly. The bottle spun for a while before it gradually came to a halt at the gap between Peter and Jolina. Then, Jolina finally showed a little reaction on her face, though it was not much. She nced at the bottle before lowering her head again. Nobody knew what she was thinking, Mia smiled at Peter and asked, ¡°The bottle is pointing between the two of you; who do you think should answer everyone¡¯s questions?¡± Peter exhaled a smoke ring absentmindedly, ¡°Naturally, it doesn¡¯t count.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t count?¡± Mia said disdainfully, ¡°Weren¡¯t you the one who made the game rules?¡± N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. Peter smiled and did not respond. Sharon stood up hurriedly, ¡°Then I¡¯ll spin it again. I¡¯ll spin it again.¡± She reached out to touch the te as she spoke. Peter grabbed a nacho from the table and threw it to the back of Sharon¡¯s hand. ¡°It¡¯s the next person¡¯s turn now. It¡¯s your fault for not spinning it properly.¡± Sharon looked defiant. However, she could not retort to Peter¡¯s words. Mia smiled. Without standing up, she flicked the te with her crutches. She only flicked the bottle gently and the bottle spun for six or seven circles before pointing sharply at Kohen. She turned to Sharon and smiled smugly, ¡°This is what you call skill. What you did just now was enough to send the bottle flying, you idiot!¡± Sharon red at Mia furiously. She looked as if she were about to tear Mia to shreds. However, she did not dare to say anything in front of these people. Meanwhile, Kohen was calm despite the bottle pointing at himself. With a magnanimous expression, he turned to them, ¡± Ask me anything.¡± Adrien and Madalyn were chatting in the courtyard. Davian stood unmoving beside Madalyn. When he saw Jensen, he could not help but feel startled. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 587 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 587 Chapter 587 You Do Look Alike¡­ ¡°Eh, Mr. Kooper? Aren¡¯t you all ying a game? What¡¯re you doing here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not interested in the game. You can take my spot if you want to,¡± Jensen replied coolly, Davian¡¯s eyes lit up. However, he turned to Madalyn with an inquisitive gaze. Madalyn smiled and looked amiable, ¡°Go ahead if you want. This is Mr. Tanner¡¯s ce, so it¡¯s very safe. You don¡¯t have to stay by my side all the time.¡± ¡°But Mr. Kooper told me to¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. Isn¡¯t Jensen here too?¡± Jensen looked at her. There were mixed emotions hidden in the depth of his eyes. Meanwhile, Adrien peered at Jensen coolly and revealed a slightly mocking smile. Davian really wanted to join their game. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. He tagged along because he wanted to have fun. However, Mr. Kooper kept on asking him to protect the old woman, so he did not even get to go to the hot springs during the day. Since the old woman had already said it herself, he did not overthink. He turned around and ran toward the house excitedly. ¡°Ha¨Cha. Aren¡¯t you going to join their game?¡± Madalyn suddenly turned to Adrien and asked with a smile. Even though Madalyn always treated Kisa with hate and disgust, she was kind to others. Adrien flicked his cigarette and smiled, ¡°It¡¯s a game for the younglings. I won¡¯t be joining them since I¡¯m already this old.¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha. You¡¯re calling yourself old in front of me?¡± Madalyn said with a smile. Her aged face looked particrly amicable tonight. Jensen could not help but take a few more nces. It was as if the grandma that held him and tucked him in when he was younger had returned. However, he quickly remembered how Madalyn sent him abroad ruthlessly and heartlessly. Jensen lowered his gaze. His slender fingers fiddled with one another as his thin lips silently formed a sarcastic smile. ¡®Grandma has always been amicable, but her amicability is not for me,¡® he thought. Madalyn took a sip of her tea before leaning into the rattan chair. Meanwhile, Adrien sat across her. It was nightfall. Under the dim lights, Madalyn quietly peered at Adrien¡¯s eyes. ¡°You do. You two do look alike¡­ Sometimes I think your eyes look like his.¡± Madalyn¡¯s aging voice sounded a little far away; she spoke as if she were talking to herself. Adrien smiled and leaned backward, ¡°Tell me, olddy, who do you think I look like?¡± ¡°My eldest son.¡± Adrien momentarily paused from smoking and smiled slightly, ¡°So you have another son, olddy.¡± Madalyn shook her head as if she waspletely immersed in her shback. ¡°He may not be my biological son, but I¡¯ve always seen him as my own son. He¡¯s very talented. He¡¯s even more talented than my biological son. I raised him single- handedly, but¡­ But he still made a mistake at the end¡­¡± Madalyn said as her voice suddenly became choked up, He¡¯s so smart, but I don¡¯t understand why he isn¡¯t using his intelligence on the right path. He had such a good rtionship with my biological son, so why¡­ Why¡­¡± Madalyn mumbled as if she were asking herself or someone else. She kept on repeating her question as her voice gradually grew softer. Eventually, her voice could not be heard anymore. Jensen nced at her and said to Adrien, ¡°She fell asleep.¡± He took off his coat as he spoke. Then, he gentlyid it on Madalyn. Adrien continued smoking. His gaze then fell onto Madalyn¡¯s aging face. She even had tears at the corner of her eyes. Adrien stared at her for a long time until his cigarette had burned out. When he felt a painful burning sensation between his fingers, he finally shifted his gaze away from her. However, he revealed a sneer. Then, he turned to Jensen. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 588 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 588 Chapter 588 Anyway, I Don¡¯t Buy It ¡°Do you think someone would treat their non¨Cbiological son like a biological son? Especially when she already has a son herself?¡± Jensen did not respond. Suddenly, Adrienughed. He continued casually, Anyway, I don¡¯t buy it.¡± Jensen nced at Madalyn several times before responding coolly, ¡°She¡¯s already really old.¡± ¡°So people are just absolved of their crimes once they get old?¡± Adrien promptly stood up and leaned toward Jensen. He peered at his slightly familiar face and snorted icily, ¡°Oh, you. The thing about you is you¡¯re too soft¨Chearted.¡± Jensen lowered his gaze and smiled, ¡°Not many people can be as stone¨Chearted as you.¡± The ridicule in his voice was evident. Adrien moved away with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re not like me at all.¡± ¡°Not being like you is good.¡± Adrien twitched his lips. When he lifted his gaze, he promptly saw the woman walking out of the house. He patted Jensen¡¯s shoulder and chuckled, ¡°If you want to win over the woman you love, you need to be ruthless.¡± After he spoke, he quickly smiled at Kisa, who was walking toward them. Then, he walked to Madalyn¡¯s side and carried her sleeping form. Kisa trudged toward them with her crutches. When she saw Adrien carrying Madalyn and entering the vi from the side door, she could not help but ask, ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr¡­¡± Jensen helped her to sit down before smiling coolly, ¡± All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. She¡¯s fine. She fell asleep. Mr. Tanner was worried that she¡¯d catch a cold, so he carried her inside.¡± Kisa nodded her head but thought that things were strange. ¡®Why was Mr. Tanner carrying Mrs. Kooper Sr. into the house but not Jensen? After all, Jensen is her grandchild, but Mr. Tanner is just an outsider to her,¡® she wondered. While she was in deep thought, Jensen suddenly smiled at her, ¡°Why did youe outside? Was the game not fun?¡± Kisa shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s pretty fun, but they¡¯ve gone crazy. I came out to get some air.¡± ¡°But Gilbert¡­¡± ¡°Why are you bringing him up?¡± Kisa leaned to the side of the table and poured herself a cup of tea. The calm smile on her face looked comforting. Jensen stared at her for a while before shifting his gaze. However, he changed the topic. ¡°Did you have a good time today?¡± Kisa nodded, ¡°This is really a great tourist attraction. This ce is practically heaven when it¡¯s the freezing winter.¡± Seeing how Kisa had a huge grin on her face, Jensen felt warm. ¡°I¡¯ll take you here to escape the heat over the same.¡± ¡°Sure. We should bring the three kids along.¡± Andrew, Ada, and ke also had the time of their lives today. They were ying with toys upstairs. Adrien was very thoughtful; he had specially prepared a yroom for the children. Jensen promptly pursed his lips. He drooped his head and did not respond, as if he had something on his mind. Kisa looked at him for a while before saying hesitantly, ¡± About the game just now¡­ I¡¯m sorry.¡± She did not know what else to say, so she ended up apologizing. ¡®If I had answered his question just now, Peter would not have forced me to kiss Jensen. Then Jensen wouldn¡¯t have gotten angry,¡® thought Kisa. ¡°Why are you apologizing? It¡¯s just a game, so don¡¯t take it seriously,¡± Jensen said with a smile. However, his smile did not reach his eyes. Kisa sighed softly before asking him, ¡°You and Peter seem pretty close. Mia, too, seems pretty close with him.¡± ¡°We¡¯re alright. We¡¯re not that close; we¡¯ve only exchanged pleasantries a couple of times in Raworth.¡± Kisa bowed her head and took a small sip of tea. Momentster, Jensen promptly turned to her leg, ¡°Is the injury on your leg getting better?¡± ¡°It¡¯s much better now. It doesn¡¯t hurt as much as before.¡± ¡°Let me see,¡± Jensen said as he lifted her leg naturally. Just as he was about to roll up her pant leg to inspect the injury on her ankle, someone snorted icily.

We had a good time ying games. Why did both of youe in one after the other? Turns out you two wanted to have a rendezvous alone,¡± as they spoke, Gilbert had already walked over to them. He obnoxiously sat across from Kisa. His eyes were cold, with a smile at the corner of his lips. Kisa furrowed her brows and withdrew her legs instinctively. N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. Gilbert nced at her and jeered even more, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Y¡¯all are prudes when somebody¡¯s around?¡± The man¡¯s tone sounded very unpleasant to others and even had a hint of maliciousness. Kisa¡¯s face immediately fell. She drooped her head to drink her tea, forcing herself to ignore Gilbert. Jensen gave her a nce and smiled at Gilbert, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t misunderstand. I only wanted to check on the injuries on her leg just now.¡± Gilbert nced at her and jeered even more, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Y¡¯all are prudes when somebody¡¯s around?¡± ¡°Heh, the leg injury must¡¯ve been very severe. It hasn¡¯t healed at all, even after more than ten days,¡± The sarcasm and ridicule in Gilbert¡¯s tone were evident to everyone. He lit a cigarette with a smile while speaking to Jensen, ¡± This woman¡¯s thoughts are very dark. Because we¡¯re brothers, I will give you this one piece of advice. Don¡¯t get yed by her. That leg, even though it¡¯s broken, should have healed by now.¡± Kisa repeatedly breathed in and out, trying to suppress the rage in her heart. Jensen chuckled quietly, ¡°Gilbert, you might be mistaken. Her leg injury is really severe. If it isn¡¯t treated properly, I¡¯m afraid in the future¡­¡± ¡°This is what she told you, right?¡± Gilbertughed mockingly, ¡°But this wasn¡¯t what she told Davian. She told Davian that her leg would improve in two or three days. Indeed nothing thates out of this woman¡¯s mouth is truthful.¡± ¡°No, Gilbert. She¡­¡± Jensen refuted. ¡°Enough, Jensen!¡± Kisa suddenly shouted at Jensen. She lifted her gaze to stare at Gilbert¡¯s face filled with sarcasm and spoke coldly, ¡°It¡¯s weird. I lie; I fake my server injuries, but what does all that have to do with you? Even if it was deception, I¡¯m deceiving Jensen and not you.¡± In the past, Gilbert would always get angry when he heard her say these words. But at this moment, he seemed to be nonchnt. He puffed a ring of smoke and spoke casually, ¡°It has nothing to do with me. Aren¡¯t I just worried that my brother would be lied to?¡± Kisa chortled coldly, ¡°You would be that kind¨Chearted?¡± Gilbert smiled, but his smile looked really and genuinely fake. Kisa averted her gaze and wholeheartedly felt that this man had ruined a well and good atmosphere. She frustratingly pushed away the cup in front of her and got up to leave. Gilbert suddenly spoke in a chilly tone, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to be forced by them to chug alcohol, then stay here.¡± ¡°Chugging alcohol?¡± Kisa was confused, ¡°Aren¡¯t we ying truth or dare?¡± ¡°Believe it or not, it¡¯s up to you,¡± Gilbert¡¯s gaze casually floated elsewhere. His fingers lightly shook the ashes off the cigarette. He seemed to not want to bother her in the slightest. Kisa looked at him once, then turned her head to stare inside the house. ? Laughter came out of the house from time to time, and the atmosphere was high. She thought about it and sat back in her chair in the end. Peter seemed to always target her. If she had gone at this time, she might have really been forced to chug alcohol by Peter. However, she did not want to face the man in front of her in the slightest. Smelling the scent from his body, her heart was frustrated beyondpare. She subtly moved her chair toward Jensen, then lowered her head to swipe her phone. Gilbert casually nced, his lips twitching slightly. The three of them did not speak to each other for a while. The atmosphere was a little bizarre. After some time, Kisa honestly forgot about Gilbert¡¯s presence. She swiped to a video short on her phone and pulled at Jensen¡¯s arm. She then pushed her phone in front of him. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 590 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 590 Chapter 590 You¡¯re So Easily Amused ¡°Look at this, it¡¯s hrious,¡± Kisa said as she covered her mouth whileughing non¨Cstop. No one knew precisely what exciting things she saw. Jensen lowered his gaze and looked. His usual expressionless face also bloomed into a smile, ¡°It really looks fun. Looking at these shorts seemed good as well. It can relieve stress.¡± Gilbert coldly stared at them. His chilly gaze went to her hand on Jensen¡¯s shoulder and slowly onto the phone on the table. He saw the phone repeatedly ying a short video. In the short video, a few dogs were doing funny movements. For example, a dog was rolling around in the snow. Another example would be a short¨Clegged dog who did not know how to climb stairs. One of the dog¡¯s paws missed the steps suddenly, and immediately it rolled down the steps looking like a furball. There were also two dogs that were fighting. Their movements reminded Gilbert of the words ¡°Falcon Punch ¡® and ¡°Shoryuken¡°. 11 He stared at the short video emotionless and felt it was not funny. However, the woman opposite him seemed to be addicted to acting them. The videos were watched repeatedly while her silly smile had not stopped. He could not help but chuff coldly, ¡°You¡¯re so easily amused.¡± As he said this, Kisa immediately remembered his presence. The smile on her face disappeared immediately. She turned off her cell phone and huffed coldly at Gilbert, ¡°Yeah, I don¡¯t just amuse easily; I cry easily too. What does it have to do with you?¡± Gilbert folded his legs together and leaned onto the chairzily. The smoke between his fingers had not stopped. His gaze contained disdain and unruliness. Another look would make Kisa angry. She held onto her cane to stand up. She then spoke to Jensen, ¡± It¡¯s almost twelve o¡¯clock. Their game should be ending now. Let¡¯s go back home and rest.¡± Jensen nodded and held onto her to walk her into the house. Gilbert stared at both their silhouettes for a moment, then got up to follow them. When they reached the front of the door, Kisa froze. Of the few people in front of the table, only Jolina and Eylul were sober. The others had drunk themselves into a stupor. Mia was very bold. She was drunk to the point of lying on the bed but did not forget to raise her hands and shout, ¡± Drink! Pour me more alcohol! We¡¯re not going home until we¡¯re all drunk! I want to drink more!¡± Kisa shook her head in resignation, ¡®I think Mia is still on her period. Why would she still drink like this?¡® She looked at Jensen, ¡± Mia is drunk. What should we do?¡± Original content from N?velDrama.Org. Jensen did not reply. His line of sight was on the drunk Sharon and Emma. He smiled at Gilbert, ¡°The two beauties you brought are also drunk, you¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not my problem!¡± Gilbert suddenly spats out coldly before Jensen could finish his sentence. His long legs had already brought him toward the stairs. Kisa¡¯s lips twitched,¡® Such a cold and heartless man. He treats everyone that way.¡® Gilbert had already gone upstairs alone and wholly neglected the mess in the restrooms. Kisa approached them with a headache. She could not understand how a simple game turned into a chuggingpetition in the end?¡± Jensen already picked up Mia, ¡°Kisa, I¡¯ll send her upstairs first.¡± Kisa immediately nodded her head, ¡± Go quickly then.¡± Upon saying this, she turned around to look at the other few fallen drunk people. Kohen and Peter are still fine in their drunken state. Both of them had their hands lying on the table. Then their heads were cushioned on their arms, looking like they were sleeping. On the other hand, Sharon and Emma¡¯s state of intoxication was terrible. Emma originally had dressed to be a little sexy that night. Now that she was drunk, her whole upper body was lying on the table with wide arms open. A wide area of naked skin on her back is bare. Sharon, in comparison, had slumped her body leaning onto a chair. Droll was evening out of the corner of her lips. Davian was also drunk. He, too, was slumped onto a chair. Although he was not drooling like Sharon, he was snoring. Kisa then looked back at the only two sober people there¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 591 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 591 Chapter 591 Are You Looking For Your Friend? Eylul spoke,¡± He is so huge in size that I can¡¯t carry him. I¡¯m going back to my room to sleep.¡± Her expression was indifferent, but her tone was still polite. Kisa could not say anything else but smile. When Eylul got up, Jolina also followed her. Jolina did not speak at all and proceeded to walk directly toward the foot of the stairs. Kisa stared at Kohen and Peter. She thought to herself, ¡® Wait till they know that their partners are treating them so coldly. I wonder what their impression will be.¡® Suddenly, she found out that Lea was not there. Could Lea have returned to her room to sleep earlier? Impossible. Even if Lea wanted to go back to her room to sleep, she would havee out to inform me first. She wouldn¡¯t be drunk now, would she? Then where would she be?¡® Once she thought about it, she immediately felt anxious. Her gaze flew around the house, searching for her. Eylul spoke to her suddenly, ¡± Are you looking for your friend?¡± ! Kisa nodded swiftly. Eylul pointed to a hidden corner in the backyard, ¡°I saw her walk toward that way.¡± ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡± Eylul replied. Eylul smiled and then went upstairs. Kisa stole a few nces at Eylul¡¯s silhouette. She had a good feeling about her deep down. When she returned her gaze, she looked back at Kohen and Davian. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. ¡®Never mind, sleeping slumped like that wouldn¡¯t kill anyone. No one told them to drink so much. Let¡¯s treat this as a punishment for them. Let¡¯s see if they¡¯ll dare to do a chuggingpetition next time,¡® Kisa thought. She took the remote, turned the temperature indoors slightly higher, and then turned around to close the door. After that, she proceeded toward the corner of the backyard. There was a side door to the backyards. Once you exited the side door, there was a perg. The perg had vines and fresh flowers growing out of it. Under the rays of the light, it looked stunning. Kisa had just reached the side door and saw Lea walking toward the same ce. Lea was hanging her head as if having something preupied in her mind. She seemed to not have noticed Kisa. Kisa did not walk over and just waited by the side door. Until Lea had walked very close to the door, then did she see Kisa. She couldn¡¯t help but yelp in surprise, Kisa, why are you here?¡± ¡°They¡¯re all drunk from the alcohol. I was worried you were drunk too and had fallen down at an unknown corner, so I came to find you.¡± A hint ofplexity was shown deep in Lea¡¯s gaze. She held onto Kisa¡¯s hand and smiled, ¡°I¡¯m not drunk.¡± Kisa looked at the backyard and asked her directly, ¡°Why did you run over here then?¡± ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s because of their chuggingpetition being too rowdy. I was worried it would affect me, so I made an excuse to hide here.¡± Kisa smiled and gave her a thumbs up, ¡°You¡¯re a smart one.¡± Lea helped her into the house and said, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, Kisa. Let¡¯s get back to our rooms and sleep.¡± Kisa nodded her head, ¡± I am honestly tired. I didn¡¯t get any good sleepst night.¡± Until the both of them had entered the house did Gilbert close the curtains. His room faces the backyard and the side door to the backyard. Standing in front of the window would allow for the full view of the backyards to be seen. Lea was quiet as if she had something on her mind when going upstairs. Kisa gave her a single nce and asked while whispering, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Did something happen?¡± ¡°No¡­ Nothing happened,¡± Lea immediately shook her head. Kisa then looked at her again closely and said, ¡± Really, nothing happened? I can see that you seem to be a bit distracted.¡± ¡°No, there¡¯s so much fun here. The benefits are good. What could happen now?¡± As the two spoke, they reached the entrance to Lea¡¯s room. Lea¡¯s room was near the stairs but a little far from hers. ¡°Alright, you go in quickly and get some rest,¡± Kisa finished saying while smiling. She then turned around to go back to her room. Lea suddenly yelled for her to stop. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 592 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 592 Chapter 592 You Should Be Careful With Her Kisa froze and looked back at her in awe, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to the edge of the resort area for sightseeing tomorrow. I saw the weather forecast. There will be a blizzard tonight, and it will stop during the day tomorrow. By then, the mountains beyond the resort border would definitely look magnificent. It¡¯s all¨C natural scenery. Then, we can stand inside the border to look at the snow. I think it shouldn¡¯t be too cold,¡± Lea exined. While smiling, Kisa asked, ¡°Why did you want to see snow suddenly?¡± ¡°Because the snowy scenery of the forests would look breathtaking. We seldome for a trip, so we should go and have a look. Most importantly, we will be standing within the area of the spring hole. We can admire the natural snow scenery and not feel cold. How great is that.¡± Kisa looked at her for a moment and chuckled while speaking, ¡°Alright, you call me when it¡¯s time to depart tomorrow.¡± ¡°Mhm,¡± Lea nodded her head. } Kisa thought for a moment and asked, ¡± Do you want to invite the others?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t do it. If we call the others, what do we do if Sharon and Emmae along? The two of them ruin the mood too much and then we wouldn¡¯t get to admire the scenery properly,¡± Lea answered. Kisa smiled and nodded her head, ¡°That¡¯s fine. We¡¯ll ¡°Then, Kisa, you should sleep earlier. I¡¯ll call you early in the morning tomorrow.¡± ¡°Mhm.¡± She watched Lea enter and close the door. Kisa¡¯s smile instantly faded slightly. A hint of confusion flickered into her brow. ¡®Doesn¡¯t Lea hate snow the most? Why does she want to admire the snowy scenery?¡® Kisa thought. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. She watched Lea enter and close the door. Kisa¡¯s smile instantly faded slightly. A hint of confusion flickered into her brow. She shook her head to shake the mind of her doubts. She then held onto her cane and slowly moved toward her room. Most of the group was drunk tonight. The others were already resting in their rooms, so the whole house seemed extra quiet. The corridors had no sound at all. Hence the faint sound of her cane hitting the ground seemed especially jarring. She had just reached the room entrance, and before she could open her door in time, the sound of a door opening came from behind and gave her a frightened start. She turned around and saw Gilbert leaning by the doorzily. A cigarette hanging in his mouth. The corners of his lips twitched into a light smile. When looked at by Kisa, his nonchnt expression made her randomly boil into a rage. She nced at him with scrunched brows, then turned around to continue opening the door in front of her. Just as she opened the door, the man behind her suddenly opened his mouth to speak, ¡°That assistant who is by your side¡­ is a problem. He was talking about Lea. She slowly turned around and asked him, ¡°What type of problem?¡± Gilbert chuckled and did not borate. He merely said, ¡± You have to be careful of her.¡± Kisa¡¯s brows furrowed deeper, ¡°Do you know something? Gilbert shook his head and chuckled, ¡°I don¡¯t know anything.¡± ¡°Then on what basis can you say she is a problem?¡± She had known Lea for many years. They both began knowing each other from the start to the friends that would talk about anything now. They have gone through so much together in between those times. She believed that Lea would not harm her. ¡®But why would Gilbert say something about Lea like that? Gilbert as an individual, would never talk about others behind their back. If he had not discovered something, he would have never blurted anything about Lea. What exactly does he know? What did Lea actually do?¡® Kisa wondered. Gilbert quietly smoked his cigarette and did not want to speak any further. Kisa lowered her gaze to stare at him,¡± What is the meaning behind the statements you made?¡± Gilbert puffed out a ring of smoke and smiled casually, ¡± It¡¯s the literal meaning. If you trust that she is no problem, then treat what I said as gibberish.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°When you did the maternity test before this, she was the one who apanied you there, right?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 593 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 593 Chapter 593 Say What You Want To Say Clearly Gilbert suddenly asked this question, almost made Kisa not react in time. She froze for two seconds and nodded their head,¡± Is there a problem with that?¡± Gilbert looked at her from the corner of his eyes and gave a deep, meaningful smile, ¡°So that¡¯s it.¡± Once he smiled like that, Kisa grew even more confused deep down, ¡°What are you smiling for?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Gilbert stood up straight and went into the house. Kisa quickly went up and pulled at his arm, ¡± You say N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. what you want to say to me clearly. For what reason are you telling me all this? What does my maternity test have in connection with Lea? People who say things so unclearly are the most shameful!¡± Gilbert lowered his gaze to the hand on his arm and gave it a single nce. After a while, he shook her off and gave her a quiet chuckle, ¡± You are just dumb yourself. You can¡¯t understand the meaning of my words, and instead, you me me for being unclear?¡® Kisa took two steps back from his shoving. She swiftly held onto the door frame and barely caught her bnce. She coldly stared at the man in front of her. He frustrated her heart, ¡± You have to exin me to me clearly now.¡± Gilbert puts out his cigarette. With a flick of his arm, the cigarette butt fell into the garbage bin. He stared back at her anger¨Cfilled face and smiled coldly, ¡± My words have been spoken crystal clear. I only reminded you of kindness for the sake of us knowing each other. What you want to do with that information is your own business.¡± Gilbert finished speaking and closed the door. Kisa immediately jammed the door and talked to him, ¡°I believe Lea wouldn¡¯t harm me. She only invited me to the borders to look at the snowscape. What veil thought can she have, she¡­¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Before she could finish, Gilbert directly mmed the door forcefully. Kisa stood by the doorway with her brows scrunched. She knew Gilbert would not have reminded her for no reason. However, she also did not believe Lea would harm her. Since Kisa and Lea have been besties for so many years. Their bond has always been excellent. Lea has no reason or motive to hurt her unless Lea is ckmailed by someone. Hence, she just told Gilbert about going to admire the snowscape on purpose and even said about the venue. They could still look for her if she experienced an unforeseen incident tomorrow. With her mind¨Cfilled thoughts, she went back to her room. Kisay down on the bed but was not feeling sleepy as much. Thinking about Lea¡¯s oddness, she wanted to ask Lea in person but was afraid of hurting their rtionship as best friends. ¡®Fine! Fine! Maybe she was overthinking, and maybe Gilbert was spouting nonsense. The snow scene in the mountains was really breathtaking. It was usual for Lea to want to see it,¡® she thought. She let out a breath and had a mentality of treating it as a fluke. She then finally slowly drifted into slumber. Gilbert leaned on the sofa, exhausted. His eyes were half closed. His side profile was hardened and cold. His Adam¡¯s apple popping from his throat had a hint of sexiness. ¡°She only invited me to the borders to look at the snowscape..¡± ¡®Heh! Kisa, you said these words to me on purpose,¡® he thought. The next day, Kisa was woken up from her slumber by a surge of doorbell sounds. She was still very sleepy. She flipped her body in the warm nkets a few times and did not want to wake up. The doorbell was still continuing to ring. She simply pulled the nket over herself to cover her whole body. After a few quiet seconds, she fell back to sleep again. Suddenly, the cell phone by her bedside rang again. Kisa struggled in her bed for a while. Then she stretched out a hand and searched the side of her pillow. Feeling the phone finally, she half opened her eyes to look at the time shown on the screen. Once she saw it, she could not help but roll her eyes. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 594 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 594 Chapter 594 Do I Look Like Someone Who Dawdles? ¡®It was just past 5 o¡¯clock. Who would wake this early during the wintertime?¡® Kisa thought. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the caller ID, which was Lea. She was stunned for a few seconds. Then only did Kisa remember Lea inviting her to watch the snow scene. She forced herself to get her act together. Then she stood up and got out of bed. The door opened, and Lea stood in the doorway with a silly smile. ¡°Kisa, did I wake you?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Kisa gave a big yawn and let her in, || It¡¯s just to admire the snow scene. Is there a need to wake up so early?¡® Even though she agreed with Lea to admire the snow scene during the morning, it was rtively early. She felt that she had only slept for a few hours only. Lea was embarrassed and chuckled, ¡°I was afraid the snow would melt. Besides, we need time to walk over there. Another point, even though it¡¯s five o clock now, you need to shower and get dressed. Then you want to get yourself ready. Kisa rolled her eyes, ¡± Do I look like someone who dawdles?¡® As she spoke, she walked to the wardrobe to grab her clothes. She picked out a thin turtleneck and a ck cashmere coat. Lea saw the clothes in her hands and struggled for a moment, then could not help but say. ¡°Kisa, why not wear a sweater and a down jacket?¡± ¡°Mmm?¡± Kisa stared at Lea¡¯s jacket, which was not as thick. She expressed confusion. Lea smiled and spoke, ¡± My meaning is, even though it¡¯s warmer here, we¡¯ve never been to the border area before. We don¡¯t know if it¡¯s cold or not. What if it¡¯s super cold, then what do we do? So wearing a sweater and down N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. jacket would be safer. I¡¯m going to change into a down jacketter.¡± Kisa nodded and felt that what she said still made sense. Hence, she changed the clothes in her hands for an extra thick sweater and a light down jacket. Kisa¡¯s skin was very fair. She usually did not wear makeup. She would put on some lipstick to enhance herplexion, so she prepared herself quite swiftly. Changing clothes and ! showering took no less than fifteen minutes to be When she came out of the bathroom, she found out Lea was daydreaming while sitting on the sofa. She looked deeply at Lea. Her mind reminded her of Gilbert¡¯s warning. She pursed her lips and walked over. She only hoped that Gilbert only misunderstood something. ¡°Lea, do you have something on your mind?¡± She sat by Lea. Her gaze on Lea was sincere and worried. Lea immediately returned to her senses and shook her head, ¡°No¡­ Nothing.¡± Kisa held her cool hand and spoke quietly, ¡°If you have anything on your mind, you can talk to me about it. No matter what happens, we can face it together.¡± Lea pursed her lips, and a sh of struggle surrounded her eyes. Kisa looked steadily at Lea. But after waiting so long, she still would not say anything. Kisa lowered her gaze. From her expression, she could almost deduce that Lea had something in her mind. She might even be hiding something. However, she was still not willing to say a single word. ¡®Did she not trust me or still had other concerns?¡® Kisa 7 thought. She was unwilling to think more about it and did not want to lose this friend. She will wait to see what happenster. If nothing happened at all, then she was overthinking herself. If an ident happens, she will only let this single chance betray her. ¡°Kisa, don¡¯t overthink. I¡¯m fine. I am just in bad spirits,¡± Lea pulled back her hand; instead, she twirled her fingers anxiously. Kisa let a light sigh, then patter her shoulder while smiling, ¡°Let¡¯s go. If we don¡¯t go now, the sun will be out. ¡°Mhm,¡± Lea quickly stood up and picked up the blue canvas bag on the coffee table. The bag was enormous and filled to the brim. Kisa asked her in confusion, ¡°What¡¯s in that bag?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 595 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 595 Chapter 595 Watching the Snow ¡°Food,¡± Lea replied as she opened up the bag that All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. contained some bread, tea, and snacks to show Kisa. ¡°Is it going to be a pic?¡± Kisaughed. ¡°Well, it¡¯s always a good idea to bring some food. We¡¯re setting out early today, so we¡¯ll definitely be hungryter, Lea said casually; nothing seemed unusual about her expression. When they went downstairs, they saw that the drunks fromst night were gone, except for Davian, who was still leaning on the chair, sleeping soundly. ¡®They must¡¯ve gone back to their rooms in the middle of the night,¡¯ the two thought. Kisa walked toward the door with a crutch in one hand while Lea held onto her other hand. The noise that the crutch made as it hit the ceramic floor was loud. However, Davian did not respond to the sound at all. After they left, Kisa made sure that Lea closed the front door so that the cold air stayed outside. The sky was bright at that moment, and they could see everything clearly. Lea walked quickly to the gate and looked at the signboard. There was a VIP area at the hot spring, while the non¨CVIP areas surrounded it in the distance. There was also an open space behind the VIP area, and beyond that open space was the border. Kisa went over, nced at the map on the wooden signboard, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go from the back. We should be able to reach the border of the hot spring faster that way.¡± Lea nodded and helped Kisa go around the vi courtyard toward the back of the VIP area. There were several vis in the VIP area, each with its own yard and hot spring. Moreover, each vi was far away from the others, so the guests could enjoy themselves without bothering other guests. Although there was a blizzardst night, there was not any snow in the hot spring area. After about an hour, Kisa and Lea finally arrived at the open space shown on the map, which was actually a field with many nts and trees. There were also vines everywhere. The ce looked undeveloped at first nce. A sign at the entrance of the field read, ¡®Buffer Zone¡®, which was most likely used to keep the people away from the border. Lea grabbed the bread and tea from her bag and handed them to Kisa. ¡°Let¡¯s rest here for a while,¡± she said. Kisa took the food and sat on the rock that was at the side. It was past six o¡¯clock, and the sky was not very bright anymore. Kisa undid the zipper of her down jacket and looked around subtly. This field was the most remote ce in the entire resort, and beyond it was the border of the hot spring area. Kisa looked around carefully, but she did not see anyone around. ¡®I guess it¡¯s just Lea and me,¡® she thought. She then nced at Lea and saw that she was focused on the food with a natural expression. She pursed her lips and smiled. ¡®Am I being too cautious here?¡® The tea that Lea had poured into a thermos was still hot. Kisa ate a few bites of bread and drank some tea which made her feel better. After the two of them were full, they continued their journey to the border. However, Kisa felt colder the further they walked. She zipped up her down jacket but still felt a breeze going through her jacket. The open space was not very big. It took around ten minutes to get to the border. At the border, there was caution tape that was held up by two concrete poles. On the other side of the caution tape, Kisa and Lea saw the beauty of nature as the snow got thicker and thicker away from the border. Kisa looked into the distance, and her eyes could not help but brighten up. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 596 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 596 Chapter 596 Building a Snowman The mountain was covered with beautiful white snow that was clean and spotless, making it look like a painting. Kisa held onto one of the concrete pirs and stared straight ahead, reluctant to blink. The sky was slowly getting brighter, and it looked extraordinarily blue under the reflection of the white snow. A gust of cold wind blew, and Kisa took a deep breath. She could feel that the air there was much fresher. ¡®Thank god I came,¡® she thought. Lea quickly took out her phone and took a few shots of the scenery in front of her. After taking the photos, she admired it for a while and said, ¡°Do you believe me now when I tell you the snow on the mountains is absolutely stunning?¡± Kisa nodded while she looked at the view. She could not stop looking, be it the distant mountain peaks or the trees nearby; it was all so captivating, While Lea was busy taking photos, her phone rang. When she saw that it was a message, the look on her face changed slightly. She nced at Kisa subconsciously and saw that she was still taking in the view. Thus, she pursed her lips and clicked on the text to take a quick look. She then deleted the message quickly after reading it. When she came here, she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but after reading the text, she felt relieved and smiled. She put her phone away, turned to Kisa, and said, ¡°Kisa, let¡¯s go to the border and build a snowman there tomemorate this day, shall we?¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Kisa replied. She, too, wanted to build a snowman since she never did it growing up. When she was younger, she always asked Gilbert to build a snowman with her whenever it snowed, but he always said no. They bent over to cross the caution tape. Kisa did not grab her crutch. She just held onto Lea¡¯s arm and walked Original content from N?velDrama.Org. toward the snowynd. They knew it snowed heavilyst night since the snow was so high that it reached their calf. ¡°We can definitely build a huge snowman with so much snow,¡± Lea said happily with a handful of snow. Kisa nodded and started to make a snowball. The two made a huge snowball not long after, which they used as the base of the snowman. They then made a slightly smaller snowball for its head and worked together to ce it onto the snowman¡¯s body. Kisa went to the border to pick up a few stones for the snowman¡¯s eyes. When Lea saw what she did, she volunteered to find some twigs to make the snowman¡¯s arms. ¡°Be careful,¡± Kisa said as she pressed the other stones onto the snowman¡¯s body to represent buttons. ¡®Now, I just have to wait for Lea toe back with the twigs and branches.¡¯ Kisa straightened up and rubbed her hands together, looking at her surroundings. She started to panic when she did not see Lea anywhere in the vast whitend. She did not pay attention to which direction Lea went, but the footprints in the snow stretched all the way to the back of a big tree in front of her. The tree was so massive that it would take two people to hug around it. ¡®Is she behind the tree?¡® Kisa thought. ¡°Lea?¡± she yelled in the direction of the tree. No one responded. Kisa frowned. She tried to call out to Lea again, but there was no response. ¡®That¡¯s strange. I¡¯m standing rather close to that tree; there¡¯s no way she couldn¡¯t hear me,¡® she thought. ¡®Why isn¡¯t she responding?¡® Kisa bit her lips and slowly limped toward the big tree. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 597 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 597 Chapter 597 Hide and Seek ¡°Lea?¡± Kisa shouted while she walked toward the tree slowly due to the thick snow. Behind the tree, a tall man held Lea tightly with one hand covering her mouth. Lea shook her head vigorously, her anxiety showing through her brows. ¡°Lea¡­¡± The sound was getting closer. Lea looked up at the man¡¯s cold jaw with a hint of pleading in her eyes. Kisa was more than one meter away from the big tree when she suddenly remembered Gilbert telling her that Lea was acting weird the night before. Original content from N?velDrama.Org. She clenched her fists, hesitating a little as she asked, Lea? Are you ying hide and seek with me?¡± No response. ¡°If you don¡¯te out now, I¡¯m going back to the vi,¡± she lowered her gaze and said loudly. Silence, dead silence. All Kisa could hear was the snow falling from the trees. The situation was very unusual; she dared not go any further. Just as she was about to go back, she heard a sound behind her. It was the sound of someone stepping in the snow. Her body tensed up all of a sudden. ¡®Is that Lea? But if so, whose footprints are these in front of me?¡® The series of footprints were all going in one direction. It was obvious that there was a third person here. ¡®Creak, creak, creak.¡® The sound of the footsteps was getting louder. Kisa turned around carefully and saw Emma standing one meter away from her. ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± Kisa frowned and nced behind Emma. There was no one but her. She never expected Emma to show up. Emma smirked as she said, ¡°Well, aren¡¯t you in a holiday mood? You came all the way here with a limp just to see the snow?¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business,¡± Kisa lightly replied. ¡°What did you do to my friend?¡± she continued to ask coldly when she thought of Lea¡¯s sudden disappearance. ¡°Ha¨Cha. I have no time to y around with your friend,¡± Emma sneered, her tone full of disdain. Kisa stared at her with her guard up and asked, ¡°Then why are you here?¡± ¡°I came here looking for you,¡± Emma replied. ¡°You were looking for me?¡± Emma chuckled; her gaze became sharp and vicious. ¡± Since I was young, I have always been the center of you attention and was given whatever I wanted. But then, came along and yed me right in my face. Tell me, what should I do to avenge myself?¡± ¡°When have I ever yed you?¡± Kisa asked calmly. ¡°When we first met, you told me that you and Mr. Kooper were no longer a thing, that what you guys had was in the past. You even said that you were happy for us. But you¡¯re secretly seducing him all the time. You pretended to be nice to me, but you¡¯re actually making a monkey out of me! You gave me your blessing, but you speak ill of me to Mr. Kooper behind my back. You really are a shameless b* tch, Kisa Becker.¡± Kisa calmly attended to Emma¡¯s words, knowing what actually happened. ¡®Sharon must have been making things up in front of her.¡¯ ¡°Why do you have to listen to Sharon? She always makes things up. Why don¡¯t you judge things based on your understanding? Why do you blindly follow everything she says?¡± Kisa questioned her lightly. ¡°Enough. Stop instigating,¡± Emma snorted, her eyes full of contempt and disgust. ¡°Mr. Kooper was very kind to me at the beginning, but his attitude toward me changed when you showed up. He even told me that the blind date we had meant nothing to him. Then I found out you had something to do with it, you b*tch. You faked the seriousness of your injury so that he would go visit you at the hospital. You said you no longer have feelings for him, but you keep trying to get his attention. You¡¯re such a disgusting b*tch.¡± It seemed like Emma had beenpletely brainwashed by Sharon. ¡®Well, there¡¯s nothing more I can say since this dumb*ss would never believe me anyway.¡® ¡°What do you want?¡± Kisa asked in a deep voice. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 598 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 598 Chapter 598 I Want You Gone! Emma grinned and took out a knife from her pocket. ¡°I want you gone!¡± she roared. Kisa¡¯s expression changed in an instant. She pretended to be calm and said, ¡°There¡¯s no way you can get out of this if I¡¯m dead.¡± ¡°Hah. This is a barren mountain, and you¡¯re on the opposite side of the caution tape. When they find your body, they¡¯ll only conclude it as you tragically falling off the cliff.¡± Kisa started getting more and more anxious at the sound of that. If she did not hurt her foot, or if the woman did not have a knife in her hand, maybe she would still be able to fight back. However, this woman was not only holding a knife but also much taller than her, so she was at a disadvantage no matter what. Kisa weighed the situation in her head while her nerves tightened. She was thinking of how to escape. Behind her was a forest in which the dangerous paths were hidden under the beautiful snow. All she could do was run forward to the VIP area of the hot springs. Emma would not dare to do anything to her there. Kisa took a deep breath as she grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at Emma¡¯s face. Taking advantage of the distraction as Emma tried to dodge, Kisa ran forward desperately, running past Emma¡¯s left side. The snow was thick and tall. Moreover, Kisa¡¯s ankle hurt so badly that she staggered a few times and almost fell. Although Emma trying to dodge the snow attack bought Kisa some time, her legs were long and uninjured. She ran toward Kisa fast, with snow dancing around. ¡°You¡¯re dead, b*tch!¡± Emma roared as she tried to stab Original content from N?velDrama.Org. Kisa. Kisa¡¯s facial expression changed drastically. She quickly ducked to dodge the knife, but Emma did not stop. She continued to try and stab Kisa after the first attempt. Kisa evaded her attack multiple times and rolled onto the snow miserably twice. Emma did not give up. She followed her closely, continuously making a stabbing motion at Kisa with the knife. Kisa dodged in fear. ¡®This woman isn¡¯t just a dumb *ss. She¡¯s a vicious murderer!¡® ¡°Ouch!¡± Kisa screamed as she suddenly tumbled down a snowy slope. The snow slope was steep was stretched for miles. She could not stop, and it felt like ages. In a panic, she tried her best to hold onto the surrounding vines and trees, but just as her hands touched those vines, she started tumbling down the slope again. Kisa was dizzy after rolling down the hill for a long while. She could vaguely feel her body losing its center of gravity, and it felt like she was falling from a tall building. Crash! Kisa groaned and lost consciousness after feeling a severe dull pain spreading from her back to her limbs. ¡°Kisa!¡± A loud yell sounded. Emma was trembling all over. ¡°No¡­ No¡­ Mr. Kooper ¡­ Please¡­ I¡­¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Before she could finish speaking, Gilbert violently threw a punch at her. That punch was so strong that Emma fell to the ground, her mouth and nose bleeding. She held onto her face in shock and said, ¡°You¡­ You hit me.¡± This was the first time Gilbert had ever hit a woman like this. The veins on his forehead were bulging. ¡°You¡¯re going to pay the price if Ie back alive.¡± When Emma was wondering what he meant by the second part of his sentence, she witnessed him jumping in the direction where Kisa had rolled down. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 599 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 599 Chapter 599 He Loves Her To Death Emma¡¯s eyes widened, staring at the man¡¯s body that was tumbling down rapidly in disbelief. ¡®I can¡¯t believe he¡¯s risking his life just to save that b*tch. Hah. It¡¯s clear that he loves that woman. I guess I¡¯m the fool in this story, wishing that this man just fell for her tricks. Turns out he loves her to death.¡® ¡®Hahaha¡­¡® Emma kept on giggling until she suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. She threw the knife away in the direction where the two people had gone to. ¡®It¡¯s not my fault you guys are down there. You guys were just careless. You guys fell. It¡¯s not my fault¡­¡® she said to herself and quickly fled back toward the resort. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. It was not until Emma left that Anthony let go of Lea. Her body was limp. She sat on the ground, looking at where Kisa had tumbled down, as tears were streaming down her face. ¡°You lied to me! You said that you won¡¯t hurt her as long as I bring her here!¡°! ¡°So what if I lied?¡± Anthony squatted in front of her, grabbed her chin, and snorted coldly. ¡°You should be thankful. You were supposed to be the one to hurt her. But I helped you by asking Sharon to talk to that scapegoat, Emma. Heh. Just wait and see what¡¯ll happen to that woman next.¡± ¡°They could be dead now for all we know. Why are you still so concerned about that woman?!¡± Lea suddenly roared. This was the first time she yelled at this man. It was also surprising that there was grief and anger behind her voice. Anthony narrowed his eyes in a threatening manner. He pulled Lea¡¯s hair and said in a sinister voice, ¡°Do you want me to kill you?¡± Lea sobbed. Anthony pushed her to the ground and brushed off the cigarette ash on his clothes. ¡°Next time, don¡¯t talk to me in that tone. You know I have a temper.¡± Lea crawled over and hugged his legs as she cried and asked, ¡°Anthony, why are you doing this? Tell me. What good does it do for you to hurt Kisa?¡± ¡°It does me no good, but I am a man with a grudge, and I never let go of my grudges.¡± Lea nced in the direction where Kisa had fallen, her face full of grief. ¡®What kind of grudge does he have against her that must end with her death?¡® Lea thought. Creak, crack. At that moment, Lea could hear the sound of footsteps in the snow. She turned around to see who it was, and her eyes widened. ¡°M¨CMr. Tanner?¡± Adrien ignored her and continued his way to the snowy slope while Anthony joined him. Lea was shocked when she saw the two of them standing side by side. ¡®Do they know each other? Is Mr. Tanner on the good side or the bad side?¡® Lea had doubts, but she did not dare to ask about them. She was small and powerless in front of them. The knife that Emma had brought was still lying on the ground. Anthony kicked it down the snowy slope and smiled at Adrien. ¡°It seems like your test was a sess. Gilbert Kooper really cares about Kisa Becker. I can¡¯t believe he was so worried that he jumped down the slope just to save that woman.¡± Adrien smirked and chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m happy with the results of this little test of mine. You did well.¡± ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s no big deal. After all, we have the same enemy. Anthony nced down the snowy slope casually while smoking a cigarette.

Those who have rolled down the slope will vanish in an instant. I don¡¯t know if both of them are still alive.¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to tell,¡± Adrien said casually.

But why did he do the test?¡® || Adrien put his hands in his pockets and chuckled, Everyone has a different life. They won¡¯t die if they are lucky. I can¡¯t do anything if they are unlucky and fall into a fatal spot, right?¡°. ¡°Ha¨Cha! Mr. Tanner, you take things philosophically. So, why can¡¯t you let go of those hatreds?¡± ¡°So what? You can¡¯t even let go of the small matter. Just leave my deep hatred alone.¡± ¡°Well, I always seek revenge for all grievances, even a small one. That¡¯s why I can¡¯tpare with you. But¡­¡± Suddenly, Anthony looked at Adrien with great interest as he said, ¡°What kind of hatred do you have for them?¡± Adrien always showed a poker face. He exhaled the smoke and chuckled, ¡°You¡¯d better not ask those questions. It¡¯s bad for you to know too much.¡± He turned around and looked at Lea with a murderous look immediately after he finished. Anthony¡¯s face changed slightly. He said quickly, ¡°She¡¯s a pawn I ced next to Kisa. I still need her.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no guarantee she¡¯ll keep the secret for me.¡± ¡°She will. She¡¯s very timid and loyal to me. She¡¯ll never tell anyone about the matter today.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Adrien chuckled. The murderous look in his eyes remained undiminished. Lea was trembling, frightened to the bones. Anthony growled at her suddenly, ¡°You won¡¯t tell anyone about the matter between Mr. Tanner and me, right?¡± Lea stayed silent and just stared at Anthony in fear. Anthony rushed to her in a few steps, pulled her hair, and said coldly, ¡°I asked you something. Why aren¡¯t you answering? Are you daydreaming?¡± Lea shook her head hurriedly. ¡°No. I¨CI won¡¯t tell anyone a word.¡± ¡°So, how would you exin what happened today to others?¡± Lea trembled, and her face turned pale. ¡°I-I would say Emma knocked me out, and I don¡¯t know what happened after that.¡± Anthony was fairly satisfied with her answer. He looked back at Adrien. ¡°What do you think?¡± Adrien smiled and remained quiet. Suddenly, Anthony threw Lea to the ground, patted his hands, and said to Adrien embarrassingly, ¡°Sigh, I couldn¡¯t care less about her if she wasn¡¯t such a good pawn who gained Kisa¡¯s trust. You also know it¡¯s more convenient to have a pawn beside Kisa. She¡¯ll be useful as long as Kisa is still alive. So, let¡¯s keep her for now.¡± Adrien snickered, and his cold eyes narrowed slightly, which made people frightened. Then he chuckled, ¡°Okay, she¡¯ll be alive as long as she can control what she says. Otherwise¡­¡± Adrien did not finish his sentence, but the dangerous tone was obvious. Anthony yelled at Lea hurriedly, ¡°Did you hear Mr. Tanner¡¯s words?¡± Lea curled up abruptly. She nodded hastily, ¡°Yes. I¨CI¡¯ll definitely watch my words.¡± Adrien snorted and was about to leave. Suddenly, Anthony called him again. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 601 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 601 Chapter 601 You Have to Make It Real ¡°Do you want to send someone to rescue both of them?¡± Adrien nced down the slope and said casually, ¡°No. It¡¯s useless to send someone to rescue them if they are dead, but it¡¯ll reveal our true colors. Let them be alone for a few days to improve their rtionship if they are alive.¡± ¡°Improve rtionship?¡± Anthony smiled, ¡°Mr. Tanner, when did you be the matchmaker? Didn¡¯t you have a grudge against them? Why are you so kind to improve their rtionship?¡± Adrien flicked ashes away from his cigarette and said casually, ¡°I have my n. The deeper their love, the more interesting the game of revenge will be.¡± Anthony looked at Adrien¡¯s back in puzzlement until he was far away. Then he said angrily, ¡°How sly!¡± Lea was shocked and hadn¡¯t recovered. Her whole body was still slumped in the snow. Anthony pulled her up irritably and warned her in a cold tone, ¡°You heard what Mr. Tanner said. You¡¯ll die if you dare to reveal anything.¡± Lea shook her head with a pale face. ¡°No. I¨CI really won¡¯t say a word.¡± ¡°Hmph! You should have fainted since you said Emma knocked you out.¡± ¡°W¨CWhat do you mean?¡± Lea trembled. Anthony sneered, ¡°You have to make it real.¡± A rabbit punch fell on Lea¡¯s neck after. Leay unconscious in the snow immediately. ¡°Uh!¡± Gilbert fell into a cave and groaned softly in pain when hended badly. Hey on the ground and could not get up for a long time. This fall almost killed him. ¡®Kisa might fall badly too if she fell along with the snow.¡® There was a dull pain in Gilbert¡¯s body, and his limbs were weak. He took a breath, then pushed himself up. As the cave¡¯s interior was huge, Gilbert hastily looked for Kisa. He soon found Kisa fainted on the ground behind him on the right. Enduring the pain all over his body, he hurriedly crawled over to her side. ¡°Kisa, wake up. Kisa¡­¡± Kisa groaned. Her eyes opened groggily, ncing at him before passing out again. Gilbert could not help but be relieved when he saw Kisa was still alive. He raised her head slightly, resting it on hisp, took off his coat, and covered her. After helping her, Gilbert took out his phone to ask for help and realized there was no signal when the phone was turned on. He took out Kisa¡¯s phone too, but there was no signal at all. He put down his phone, propped his hands back on the ground, looked up, and sighed. ¡®Seems like we fell into the depths of the forest. This mountain is huge, and the hot spring area developed by Peter is just a small part of it. We fell into a remote ce without a signal now. It might be hard for Davian to find us.¡® Gilbert looked at the cave behind his head again. ¡®The cave is small and vertical. It¡¯s about two meters long and one meter high. There is a lot of snow at the entrance of the cave. The cave¡¯s entrance is probably hard to discover from the outside. ¡®Fortunately, I jumped down from the ce where Kisa fell. Otherwise, I might not have fallen into the cave. The entrance of the cave is about four meters from the ground. There is nothing we can use to climb. It may be hard to go back up.¡® N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Gilbert sighed softly, and his eyes fell on Kisa again.

I can figure out the rest gradually since I found Kisa.¡® Gilberty down on his back, feeling dull pain all over his body once the adrenaline rush ended. Lea was in the vi when she woke up. Many people surrounded her. Davian asked anxiously, ¡°Where is Mr. Kooper? Have you seen him?¡± Madalyn squeezed in immediately after. She yelled at Lea with a sinister face, ¡°Where did Kisa abduct my grandson? Tell me immediately! Tell me now!¡± Madalyn shook Lea¡¯s shoulder with her hand as she spoke. Lea was already weak when she woke up, but she almost fainted again after receiving a hard shake from Madalyn. Luckily, Jensen hurriedly stopped Madalyn¡¯s shaking.¡® Give her a minute. We can askter.¡± ¡°It has been a whole day. His phone can¡¯t be reached, and the snow is brewing outside. How can you ask me to wait? || Lea looked out the window in shock. ¡°Is the snowstorm here again?¡± Jensen said to her, ¡°It has been snowing for several hours. It¡¯s five o¡¯clock in the afternoon now. The snow has been falling since noon.¡± ¡°How did I get back?¡± ¡°Davian and I found you at the boundary line of the hot springs area. It was snowing heavily at that time. We can¡¯t see anything in the snow except the corner of your clothes. You were almost frozen at that time. Mrs. McCray and Jolina warmed you twice in the hot spring before you slowly recovered.¡± Suddenly, Lea remembered Anthony¡¯s ruthlessness after she heard this. Her eyes turned unconsciously red. Jensen¡¯s eyes darkened a bit while seeing her red eyes. He asked in a tense voice, ¡°Where¡¯s Kisa?¡± ¡®Kisa¡­¡® It seemed she remembered the scene of Kisa falling down the slope abruptly. Her eyes became redder, and she could not help but shed tears. ¡°It¡¯s Emma¡­¡± She raised her eyes and looked around the room. She did not see Emma but Adrien. Her back stiffened, and her hands unconsciously tensed up. Jensen followed her line of sight and clenched his hand quietly. ¡°What happened to Kisa?¡± He asked again with a tenser tone. Lea withdrew her gaze. She was scared to look at Adrien again. She cried and said, ¡°Kisa and I were building a snowman near the border, and I went to find branches to make the snowman¡¯s arms. I didn¡¯t expect Emma to appear all of a sudden. She knocked me out when I was unaware. I totally have no idea what happenedter. ¡°But if you ask me now means Kisa must not be back. Mr. Kooper, do you think Emma hurt Kisa?¡± Jensen¡¯s face turned grim. He looked at Sharon and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Emma?¡± Sharon sneered, ¡°How would I know¡­ Uh!¡± A hand suddenly choked her before she could finish speaking. Jensen¡¯s eyes were cold and gloomy, ¡°Are you sure?¡± Sharon frantically patted his hand. She looked at Madalyn for help, but Madalyn was worried about Gilbert and had no time to spare for her. She coughed twice and said difficultly, ¡°I¨CI know. I know. Only then did Jensen let her go. Sharon gasped desperately before saying to him, ¡°I saw her pack her things hastily this morning. She said something had happened at home, so she had to be back in a hurry. She probably went down the mountain by herself.¡± ¡°She must have hurt Kisa. If not, why would she run away?¡± Lea cried and growled immediately. On the one hand, she was heartbroken by Anthony¡¯s ruthlessness. On the other hand, Lea was also sad about Kisa¡¯s fall. That was why she really cried out in grief. No one dared to question what she said while seeing her crying this way. Madalyn approached Lea with a cane. ¡°What about my grandson, Gilbert?¡±N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 603 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 603 Chapter 603 Are You Ordering Me? ¡°Mr. Kooper?¡± Lea seemed at a loss. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I didn¡¯t see him. Could he have apanied Emma down the hill?¡± ¡°Impossible.¡± Madalyn tly denied it. ¡°My grandson has no interest in Emma. There is no way he would apany Emma down the hill.¡± Lea shook her head. ¡°Then I don¡¯t know. I know nothing after being knocked out by Emma. Kisa¡­¡± She looked at Jensen and cried anxiously. ¡°Jensen, you must go save Kisa. We were making snowmen at that ce; I think Kisa is near there. Please send someone to find her.¡± Adrien bit a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes ncing at Lea, who was mourning and anxious, with a half¨Csmile on his face. ¡°We have searched around there and did not find Ms. Becker. Since there was a heavy blizzard, we simply could not see anything. If not for your bright¨C colored clothes, we couldn¡¯t have spotted you, freezing to death in the snow,¡± Davian could not help but say. Lea was sad once again at Anthony¡¯s callousness. Her face grew sadder and sadder. ¡°What about Gilbert? Where is Gilbert? Did something happen to him in the blizzard?¡± Madalyn mumbled, looking terrified, her frail hand tugging tightly at her cane. Jensen clenched his hands, spun around, and headed outside. Kohen hurriedly stopped him. ¡°What are you. doing?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to find them.¡± ¡°Where are you going to find them?¡± Kohen snapped at him. ¡°Look at the weather outside yourself. The blizzard will impair your vision, yet you are going out to look for someone. It¡¯ll be difficult even for you to move an inch in this thick snow.¡± Davian leaned over the window and looked out, rubbing his hands in anxiety. ¡°Then what should we do? The blizzard is even heavier than just now. I wonder if Mr. Kooper is in danger somewhere out there.¡± Madalyn was just as anxious. She tugged on Jensen¡¯s arm and said, ¡°You must find Gilbert. He must be with Kisa. I told you before Kisa is a scourge and will only bring disaster to Gilbert. Jensen, I beg you. Find Gilbert, please. Jensen pursed his lips and said nothing. Eylul suddenly took a few steps and came in front of Sharon. ¡°You call Emma and ask her what she has done to Ms. Becker.¡± ¡°Are you ordering me?¡± Sharon red at her. Original content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡± ¡°Then what the hell was the tone of your voice just now?¡± Kohen pulled Eylul behind him and hissed. ¡°So what if she ordered you?¡± Eylul could not help but nce at Kohen, her insouciant face livening up a bit. Sharon¡¯s face turned red with anger. ¡°I¨CI¡¯m at least an international superstar. I-¡± ¡°I just want to know, was she wrong to order you?¡± ¡°Absolutely. You call Emma and ask her where exactly Kisa is. Find Kisa, and we will find Gilbert.¡± Madalyn suddenly tugged at Sharon¡¯s hand before she could say anything. She might look down on Eylul but could not afford to offend Madalyn. Sharon gritted her teeth and reluctantly took out her cell phone. She called Emma several times, but Emma did not answer the phone. Sharon shrugged. ¡± Not that I don¡¯t want to call her. It is just that she won¡¯t answer.¡± ¡°Emma must be up to something. When we get down from the hill, Mr. Kooper will not spare her,¡± Davian said angrily. Meanwhile, Lea had shrunk into a ball. Her eyes constantly darted toward Adrien. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 604 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 604 Chapter 604 Warming Her With His Body Original content from N?velDrama.Org. Every time her eyes met Adrien¡¯s sharp, piercing eyes, she would look away quickly, her body shaking uncontrobly. Jensen took in the look on her face and the eyes. He clenched his hands and stared gravely at Adrien. The blizzard was still ferocious outside. The freezing wind was carrying snow into the cave. Gilbert moved Kisa inside, sat against the rock wall, ced Kisa in his arms, and hugged her tightly from behind. The cave was enormous, with a small pond of water on the other side. There were also small, unknown flowers growing around the pond. The short¨Cgrown flowering shrub was dotted with tiny, edible, fruit¨Clike red orbs. The good thing was that there were no snakes, insects, or ants in this season, so the cave was quite clean. He stared nkly at the snowkes flying past the cave¡¯s opening as he held Kisa¡¯s hands tightly. He did not know when this blizzard would subside. Davian and others could only come to their rescue after the blizzard stopped. But he was not eager to get out. Gilbert looked down at the woman in his arms; she had been unconscious for a long time, and he did not know if she was injured. He caressed her face and called out to her in a low voice, ¡°Kisa, wake up, Kisa¡­¡± She finally moved but just subconsciously hugged herself and murmured. He leaned his ear closer and heard her cry, ¡°I¡¯m so cold.¡± Gilbert thought, ¡®How can it not be cold when a blizzard is outside? It¡¯s a good thing the cave sheltered us. Otherwise, it would have been even colder.¡® ¡°I¨CI¡¯m so cold¡­ so cold¡­¡± Her eyes were closed, and she mumbled in a trembling voice, hugging herself even tighter. Gilbert held her closely in his arms, but still to no avail. Kisa still kept mumbling that it felt cold. Gilbert pushed her away gently, then got up and let her lean against the rock wall while he went to her feet and took off her shoes and socks. He took her feet in his hands and rubbed them. After doing this for a while, her feet got warmer. But she leaned against the rock wall, still feeling cold, her petite body shivering. He looked around the cave; besides the wildflowers and fruits, there was nothing he could use for warming. He withdrew his eyes, his gaze falling on the ck coat. that she was wearing. After some pondering, he took the coat off her body andid it t on the floor. He then took off his own clothes and finally Kisa¡¯s. The two of themy naked on the coat, with Gilbert hugging her tightly in his arms. Gilbert covered them with their innerwear and topped them with sweaters and Kisa¡¯s down jacket. He held her tightly and freed up a hand to rub her back and limbs, to warm her body up. After a long while, Kisa stopped murmuring and fell asleep, breathing calmly. Outside the cave, the blizzard continued with a disturbing howl. But at this moment, Gilbert embraced Kisa in his arms and felt a rare feeling of peace and contentment. He held up her hand and kissed it. A forced smile appeared on his face, as only in such a situation could they embrace so intimately together. When she woke up, he was again the enemy she hated so much. He sighed and hugged her, but his eyes stared nkly at the snowkes flying outside the cave. He sometimes wished the blizzard would not stop so that they could stay in the cave longer. But he was worried that Kisa¡¯s body could not take it. Ultimately, he still wanted her to be well, so this blizzard had to stop quickly. CLANK! Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 605 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 605 Chapter 605 They Are Not Going to Die The sound of breaking cups and bowls resounded in the room as Adrien red at Jensen. Adrien rarely showed his emotion except in front of Jensen. ¡°I dare you to say what you just said again!¡± He gritted his teeth in anger as if he would punch Jensen at any moment. Jensen nced at him indifferently. ¡°If anything happens to Gilbert and Kisa, I will not spare you.¡± His voice was colder than the look in his eyes. ¡°Heh, won¡¯t spare me?¡± Adrien came up to him and grabbed him by the cor,ughing sarcastically. ¡°Don¡¯t forget who helped you get a foothold in Raworth. Without me, you would have been dead many times over.¡± Jensen looked at him with a touch of sadness in his eyes. He snickered and said, ¡°You said you wanted to seek revenge on them and for what happened back then, but you didn¡¯t say you wanted to take their lives. Do you think this revenge still has meaning if you do this? Will you still feel happy if they are gone?¡± Adrien lowered his eyes, and his grip on Jensen¡¯s cor gradually loosened. He took out a cigarette and lit it, took a drag, and smiled. ¡°They are not going to die. With Gilbert around, that woman will be fine.¡± Jensen looked gravely at him. ¡°Where are they?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡°. Adrien spread out his hands. ¡°I really don¡¯t know. This hill is so big; who knows where they are hiding now?¡± ¡°I will find them.¡± Jensen sounded determined. He spun around and headed out. Adrien¡¯s face sank. ¡°There is a blizzard outside right now. You better not act on impulse.¡± Jensen snickered as he held the door handle. ¡°Do you really care about me, or are you afraid that if I die out there, no one will help you get revenge?¡± Adrien narrowed his eyes and crushed the cigarette with his fingers. As Jensen had walked out, he bumped into Peter, who came in. Heughed self¨Cdeprecatingly and said to Peter, ¡°You are luckier and happier than I am. 11 Peter was confused by what he said. Before he could ask, Jensen was already walking downstairs with one hand digging into his pocket. He rubbed the back of his head in bafflement. ¡°Hey, Peter, you are here. Come in and talk with me.¡± The anger and gloom on Adrien¡¯s face instantly faded, and he broke into an avuncr smile at the sight of Peter. Jensen stood at the corner of the stairs for a long time, the sense of bitterness and mockery deepening on his face. Madalyn was almost frantic without news of Gilbert. By now, it waspletely dark, and the blizzard outside the house looked even more ferocious when illuminated by the light. The floor was wet as the snowkes melted instantly as they touched the ground. Madalyn paced back and forth around the doorway with her cane as the fierce wind blew in from time to time. Davian always followed her as he was afraid the strong wind would blow Madalyn over. Original content from N?velDrama.Org. As soon as Jensen came down, Madalyn rushed up to him with a pleading look in her eyes. ¡°You have always been the most protective of Gilbert. I beg you, Jensen. Please go find him.¡± Jensen looked at her calmly. ¡°There is a blizzard going on outside.¡± ¡°I know, and I¡¯m this desperate because of this blizzard. How can he survive in the wild with such bad weather?¡± Madalyn said, wiping away her tears. ¡°Jensen, you go and find him. Go and get him back, please.¡± Jensen let out a sad smile. His tone of voice suddenly turned calm to the point of frightening. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 606 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 606 Chapter 606 It¡¯s a Suicide ¡°Are you asking me to go out and find him now?¡± Madalyn suddenly stopped talking and just looked at Jensen with tearful eyes. Jensen suddenly chuckled, and then it turned sadder. Then have you ever thought that if I go out now, I might probably note back?¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± Madalyn covered her face with her hand and cried out in grief. ¡°I can¡¯t help it. I¡¯m so worried. I raised Gilbert, and I¡¯m really afraid that something bad will happen to him.¡± Mia, who was sitting on the couch, became upset. ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., there is a blizzard outside. You can¡¯t feel it in the house, but try going to the mountains beyond the border. You will be frozen to death in a minute, believe it or not. And now it is night and pitch¨Cck outside. How could you expect Jensen to find them? Besides, is Jensen¡¯s life worth less than Gilbert¡¯s?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that,¡± Madalyn hurriedly said. ¡°Now that the snow has blocked ess to the hill, the search and rescue teams cannote up, and the snow also held up the rescue team of the resort in the hot spring area. There is no one else I can count on, I¡­¡± ¡°Stop it. Jensen certainly will not go out looking for them in this weather,¡± Mia said indignantly. Madalyn pursed her lips sadly. She tremblingly sat down on a chair. The sense of vicissitudes of her hunched back saddened Jensen. It reminded him about how Madalyn held him and coaxed him to sleep when he was small, and now she had gotten so old. He walked up to Madalyn and calmly said to her, ¡°Okay, I will go find him now. Mia immediately jumped up from the couch, careless about her injured leg. ¡°You are crazy!¡± She yelled at Jensen, ¡°It is suicide to go into the mountains in this weather!¡± Jensen ignored her and just looked at Madalyn, who clutched her cane in a dilemma. ¡°M¨CMaybe you wait until the blizzard subsides.¡± With that, she closed her eyes in grief. Jensen just forced a smile. ¡°The weather forecast reports. two days and two nights of the blizzard. If we wait until then, I¡¯m afraid it will be toote,¡± Jensen said and spun to go outside. Mia hurriedly ran after him with her injured leg, but Jensen had already walked out of the door. She slumped on the door and yelled in anguish, ¡°You fool! No one cares about your safety, but shouldn¡¯t you care about yourself? Jensen,e back! Come back to me!¡± But no matter how hard Mia shouted, Jensen did not turn back. She anxiously pounded the door with her hands, hating her own injured leg at this moment. Original content from N?velDrama.Org. Madalyn watched Jensen disappear into the snow and was filled with guilt. She covered her mouth and whimpered with sadness. Upstairs, Adrien stared at the shadow in the blizzard, so angry that he crushed the cigarette in his hand. ¡°It¡¯s a suicide, you fool!¡± Peter was smoking on the couch when Adrien shouted. He was transfixed for a second, then got up and came up to Adrien. ¡°Who are you talking about, Uncle Adrien?¡± Adrien did not respond but just stared out the window with angry eyes. In bewilderment, Peter followed his line of sight, and his eyes widened in surprise. ¡°T¨CThat is Jensen, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Adrien sneered. ¡°He is a fool. He is worthless in the eyes of the Kooper family, yet he still treats Gilbert so well. He will regret it. One day he will regret it.¡± Peter nced at the vicious sarcasm on Adrien¡¯s face and was confused. He could not understand why Adrien was so worried. Jensen might have worked for Adrien in Raworth, but their rtionship was just that between a boss, a subordinate, and business partners at best. Besides, it was Jensen¡¯s choice to go out. To add more confusion to this, what Jensen had just said to him earlier in the hallway sounded strange. Kisa woke up with the distinct feeling of an arm resting on her belly. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 607 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 607 Chapter 607 Lie Still Her hair stood erect, her body tense, and she was too scared to move. It was all dark in front of her eyes, and she could only see the snowkes flying outside the cave. The air was chilly. Half of her body was pressed against a very warm surface, and the warmth was so obvious that only skin¨Cto¨Cskin contact could make that kind of sensation. ¡®Skin¨Cto¨Cskin contact?¡® Her heart skipped a beat at the thought, and her mind went nk. She ran her trembling hands over her body. ¡°Aaaaah!¡± Fear overwhelmed her, and she screamed and tried to get up in a panic, but that hurt, and she gasped in pain. ¡°Lie still if you don¡¯t want to freeze to death.¡± Suddenly, a familiar voice spoke beside her. Immediately after, her body was pulled into that zingly hot embrace again. She shuddered at the sudden change in temperature. But when she heard that familiar voice, her fear subsided. She shivered and wrapped her arms around her chest. ¡°G- This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Gilbert?¡± ¡°Shh, be quiet. I need to sleep.¡± Kisa was confused and embarrassed. She was nowpletely awake and could obviously feel how she was lying with Gilbert at the moment. Her cheeks burned, and her voice was tinged with a touch of anger and shame. ¡°I just want to ask; what happened, and w¨Cwhy are we lying like this?¡± ¡°Like what?¡± He soundedckadaisical with a touch of teasing. Kisa was so exasperated. She tried to get up from his arms, but he held her down tightly. ¡°Gilbert, what are you doing? Let go of me!¡± ¡°I¡¯m saving you,¡± he replied, with a bit of impatience in his voice. Kisa bit her lip. ¡°Is this how you save me?¡± ¡°If I hadn¡¯t done this, you would have frozen to death. Can¡¯t you see the blizzard outside?¡± he replied faintly, his scornful voice making her look ungrateful. Kisa bit her lower lip. She took offense to it but could say nothing more. She tucked her two small fists between the two of them. But Gilbert quickly removed her fists. ¡°We are sleeping on clothes, covered with clothes. Besides, it is so cramped here. Do you think it is appropriate to stuff two fists between us?¡± Kisa could not find the words to retort. She had no choice but to flip over with her back pressing against his hot chest. She only felt embarrassed and terrible at this moment, especially when her head was still resting on his muscr arm. Just when she thought she was embarrassed enough, Gilbert wrapped his hand around her waist and drew her closer to him.. ¡°Y¨CYour hands¡­ W¨CWhat are you doing? W¨CWe could have justin like before.¡± Kisa panicked, and she spoke incoherently. ¡°It is warmer this way,¡± Gilbert said, his chin resting on her shoulder, his voice sounding with a touch of husky sensuality andziness. Kisa tensed up and did not move a muscle but let him hold her. After a while, when she felt he did not do anything else, she was slightly relieved and looked up at the snowkes flying past the cave¡¯s opening, her memory returning to before she passed out. She remembered Emma trying to kill her with a knife. She dodged desperately and then identally rolled down a snow slope. The snow slope was long, and she rolled for a long time before falling into some ce though she could not recall how she ended up with Gilbert. With her head full of questions, she could not help but call out to him. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 608 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 608 Chapter 608 You Ingrate ¡°Huh?¡± Gilbert answered half¨Cheartedly and sozily that Kisa was about to think he was asleep. ¡°Where is this ce, and why are you here too?¡± ¡°This is a cave, and I am here to save you.¡± He simply told her the truth. Kisa was still a bit confused. ¡°Wasn¡¯t I pursued by Emma and fell down the snow slope? Then you¡­¡± ¡°I saw it, but it was toote to save you. So I simply jumped down with you from where you fell. It was lucky that Inded in the same ce as you did. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to find you in such a big mountain forest with such a heavy snowfall.¡± He spoke calmly. Kisa was too shocked to speak because of what Gilbert had said. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡®He has gone so far as to jump down a snowy slope to save her. Did it ur to him at that moment that the jump might have killed him? Why does his saving of me sound like a fantasy?¡® Kisa thought to herself, and she could not help believing it in this ce and at this moment. Gilbert suddenly snorted when he heard nothing from Kisa. ¡°You actually wish it was Jensen who saved you like that, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t think of it that way,¡± Kisa quickly said. He suddenlyughed, somewhat self¨Cdeprecatingly. ¡°I know you certainly didn¡¯t want him to save you like that. After all, it was too dangerous. How could you let him put himself in danger for you?¡± Kisa rolled her eyes upon hearing that. ¡®They say that women are unreasonable, but this man is no better. He is hard to please and doesn¡¯t listen to the opinion of others. I¡¯d rather not say anything.¡® Seeing that she was silent, Gilbert just assumed that it was a tacit admission, and a sh of anger and jealousy surged from within him. ¡°I knew it. Even though I have saved you, you will not even be half as touched. You ingrate.¡± Kisa was really touched at first, but his wide¨Coff¨Cthe- mark assertion and insensitivity wore away her emotion. ¡°Don¡¯t you hate me, wanting me to die? Then why did you save me? Why not just let me die?¡± she retorted. Gilbert was also angry and wrapped her abdomen tightly with his hand. He was using so much force that he nearly strangled her. She scratched his arm in anger and sneered, ¡°Am I not the one who hurt your grandmother? Am I not a schemer and a trickster? Why did you save a vicious woman like me?¡± ¡°You are not,¡± Gilbert said suddenly, his low, hoarse voice containing a touch of unintelligible emotion akin to guilt and sadness. Kisa did not think much of it but said, ¡°Not what?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not the one who hurt Grandma.¡± Kisa froze and almost thought she had misheard it. She could not believe that Gilbert would say such a thing. Sheughed so hard that her stomach hurt. ¡°Gilbert, are you sick? Or have you lost your memory? I was the one who hurt your grandma. I pushed her down the stairs and caused her to fall into aa for five years. Have you forgotten? You even sent me to jail for that, and because. of that, our child¨Cour only child¨Cwas lost. Have you forgotten?¡± There was a strong note of sarcasm in her voice. She was smiling, but tears were falling down her cheeks. Gilbert pursed his lips and tightened his grip on her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 609 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 609 Chapter 609 You Were Not The Perpetrator Who Harmed Grandma ¡°You were not the one who hurt Grandma.¡± He repeated with an air of obstinacy and slight annoyance. Kisa smiled dementedly. ¡°Why am I not now? Didn¡¯t you convict me of this crime in the first ce? You grabbed my hand and forced me to sign that confession? Have you forgotten? Gilbert, you¡¯re not trying to cheat me out of my feelings again, are you?¡± ¡°No,¡± Gilbert murmured. ¡°I heard the conversation between Grandma and Sharon, and Sharon was the one who harmed Grandma.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Kisa was shocked upon hearing that, but there was even more self¨Cdeprecation and sadness, all without a bit of happiness. ¡°Gilbert, right from the beginning, I told you vociferously that I did not hurt your grandma. I even kneeled before you and begged you to believe me, but you didn¡¯t. You only ever thought of me as a vicious woman. Back then, if you had believed me, maybe you wouldn¡¯t have sent me to jail, and our child wouldn¡¯t have died.¡± ¡°The child¡­¡± He almost made a Freudian slip, revealing the fact that the child was alive. But when he thought she had used the child, he choked back on his words. The child was his soft spot, and he was not unwilling to tell her that the child was still alive, afraid that she might use the child again, in which case, not only him but also the child would be hurt. He did not dare to take the slightest risk for the children¡¯s sake. ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± he said atst. It was the first time he apologized to her. Kisa sneered and said, ¡°Who needs your apology? Can you erase all the harm you have done to me with just an apology? Gilbert, I tell you what, the most useless thing in this world is an apology.¡± ¡°Then what do you want from me? Yes, I have misunderstood you about Grandma, but you clearly love Jensen in your heart. Why did you y with my feelings? It was you who yed with my feelings first!¡± The thought that the person she really loved was Jensen drove him crazy with jealousy. When he discovered that she was not the one who harmed his grandmother several times, he wanted to find her to make it up to her. But once he thought that the person she loved was Jensen and that she loathed him to the core, making up to her sounded like a pathetic joke. So he tried hard to suppress his feelings, make himself treat her like a stranger, to forget about her. But he could not do it¨Che really could not. When he saw that she was injured, he still could not help but worry. He was more anxious than anyone else when he saw her in danger. He could never be able to turn his back on her he could never do that. ¡°I want nothing from you.¡± Kisaughed, her voice choked with sobs. ¡°What else could I want from you? I don¡¯t understand why you always think I love Jensen. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Her voice was full of sadness and helplessness. Gilbert sneered, ¡°Don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Of course not!¡± ¡°Then who is that?¡± ¡°It is¡­¡± Words suddenly stuck in her throat. She could not possibly say she loved him to his face, as that would only make a fool of herself. Five years ago, she had failed. to warm his heart even though she loved him with all her heart. Now, she did not expect him to change his mind just because she could say, ¡°The person I love is you¡°. The man¡¯s once hard¨C heartedness toward her could never turn into love. Even if he could, that was also because of guilt and restitution, which she disdained. Seeing her suddenly stop talking, Gilbert suddenly chuckled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will let nothing happen to you. Instead, I will let you live to see Jensen. So you don¡¯t have to pretend that the person you love is me.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 610 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 610 Chapter 610 What Do You Want to Do? ¡°You!¡± Kisa was sad, and when she heard what he said, it instantly bummed her out. ¡®I really, really can¡¯t talk to this man about feelings, or I will definitely be pissed off.¡® His EQ was high in business but low in rtionships. Kisa was so pissed that she thought she might as well keep her mouth shut. Gilbert also stopped talking, and the already depressive atmosphere became even tenser. Feeling irritated, Kisa subtly moved her body, pulling away from him. This time, he did not draw her back to him. ¡°Want to sleep?¡± He suddenly spoke from above her head. ¡°What?¡± Kisa subconsciously responded. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to sleep, let¡¯s do something else,¡± he said in a t tone of voice. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Kisa¡¯s body involuntarily tensed up. ¡°W¨CWhat do you want to do?¡± Gilbert knew she was thinking the wrong way as soon as he heard her tense and defensive tone of voice. He snickered, and his eyes glowed cunningly in the darkness. ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡°H¨CHow do I know what you want to do?¡± ¡°I want to¡­¡± The man deliberately drew close to her ear and said in a low and ambiguous tone, ¡°do the things you think about in your head.¡± ¡°Gilbert!¡± Kisa pushed him away in annoyance, as she could no longer stand his shameless tone, especially since they had just fought. Seeing that she was angry, Gilbert stopped joking with her. He felt for his phone, turned it on, and looked at the time¨Cit was past three in the morning. Kisa saw the light of the cell phone and could not help but say, ¡°Since you have a cell phone, why don¡¯t you call them for help?¡± Gilbert rolled his eyes at her. ¡°If the phone has a signal, do I still need you to remind me of that?¡± Kisa pursed her lips as she could not find a word to respond. He suddenly stared straight at her, and that stare seemed to be anything but innocent. Kisa frowned. She followed his eyes to look down and saw her naked body. She took a deep breath and slowly pulled up the down jacket to cover herself up, then hissed at him, ¡°Jerk! 11 ¡°If I wanted to do something to you, I would have done it already. Why wait until now?¡± Gilbert said. Kisa looked away and ignored him. The rustling sound of someone dressing up suddenly came to her ears. She nced sideways at him and saw that he had gotten dressed. He wore a pair of ck pants and a thin, light gray sweater. Kisa felt for her own clothes under the down jacket and quickly put them on while he was not noticing. Feeling more secure now, she sat up and put on the sweater. As she put on her pants, she asked, ¡°How are we going to get out?¡± Gilbert raised his eyes toward the entrance of the cave. ¡°It is still snowing. Let¡¯s wait until the snow stops.¡± Kisa said nothing and put her jeans back on. She felt a dull pain in her back, which she knew should have been caused by the fall. She nced at Gilbert and thought, ¡® His mass is much heavier than mine. Didn¡¯t it hurt when he fell?¡® But Gilbert did not seem to be in pain at all. Instead, he walked around the cave with his phone as if he was looking for something. Kisa ignored him and put her socks and shoes back on. While putting on her down jacket, she suddenly found two loaves of bread in her pockets. Lea had given them to her in the morning, but she did not want to eat them at the time, so she just put them in her pockets. She was already a little hungry, and when she saw the bread now, she was even hungrier. She nced at Gilbert and then walked over to him. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 611 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 611 Chapter 611 You Didn¡¯t Do That On Purpose, Did You? ¡°Here you go!¡± She held out one of the slightlyrger loaves of bread to him. Gilbert nced down at it, then at the bread in her other hand, and said disdainfully, ¡°Do you think I¡¯d eat a sweet thing like that?¡± ¡°You!¡± Kisa was really pissed off. She took the bread back. ¡°Forget it. Why are you still so picky in time like this?¡± She sat back down at the ce where she had just slept. Seeing that his coat was still on the floor, she reached out and picked it up before throwing it at him. ¡°Put it on, or you will bother me if you get sick.¡± ¡°Put it on. You are much weaker and more likely to get sick.¡± Gilbert threw the coat back again,nding on her body. The coat still carried the warmth of their body. She looked at his thin sweater and said, ¡°I¡¯m not very cold. I won¡¯t get sick. So you should put it on.¡± Kisa was about to throw the coat back. Gilbert suddenly sneered. ¡°Stop ying tough with that kind of body of yours. You will only trouble me if you get sick.¡± He always sounded so mean. Kisa clenched her hands, wrinkling the coat. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t care about you if you were sick!¡± Gilbert shrugged. ¡°Suit yourself.¡± Kisa was so pissed that she withdrew her eyes and wrapped that coat around her; she was feeling a bit cold, anyway. She now felt much warmer than she had just been. Ignoring Gilbert, she sat cross¨C legged on the ground and ate the bread. The two pieces of bread were small. Thergest one was only a little bigger than her palm, and the other was about the size of her fist. Kisa unwrapped the smaller one first. She was starving. She raised her eyes to look at the still snowy cave entrance, wondering when the blizzard would stop, and even if it stopped, they still had to find a way up. So, she figured they might have to stay in this cave for a long time, and she did not dare to finish the bread in one go. She broke off half of that smaller bread and put the remaining half back into the packaging. She took a bite from the half she broke off and asked the man not far away, ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want to eat?¡± This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. ¡°No thanks,¡± he said without looking back at her. ¡°Fine.¡± Kisa pouted and put the remaining half of the bread into her pocket. The bread was already small, half of which was even smaller, so Kisa took a small bite each time. Just as she finished half of it, Gilbert suddenly came over with a pile of firewood. Kisa was bewildered. ¡°I didn¡¯t know there was firewood in the cave.¡± ¡°They are all dead and broken twigs, so I guess they were either carried in by birds or blown in by the wind,¡± Gilbert said, cing the twigs he picked up in front of her. The twigs were piled up in a heap. Immediately after, Gilbert took out a lighter from his pocket. He squatted down and tried several times before he sessfully ignited the twigs. Now that there was fire, Kisa felt her calves warm up. She dly stretched out to warm her hands. Gilbert nced at her and asked with a smile, ¡°Warm, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Uh¨Chuh.¡± Kisa nodded her head, then something came to mind, and she stared at him. ¡°Since there are dead twigs in this cave, and you have a lighter on you, why didn¡¯t you start a fire instead of using ¡®that¡® method to keep warm?¡± Gilbert had no words. ¡°You didn¡¯t do that on purpose, did you?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 612 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 612 Chapter 612 Men Are the Most Cunning ¡°Heh, do you think that¡¯s possible?¡± Gilbert snorted, his face full of disdain. ¡°Why is it impossible? You men are the most cunning.¡± Kisa grunted. ¡°Humph!¡± Gilbert snorted again with a look of growing disdain that made Kisa want to punch him in the face. She red at him but decided to ignore him, as anger cost energy, and she was already hungry. The fire gradually red up, warm and bright, illuminating the entire cave. Gilbert turned off the torchlight of his phone and checked the battery indicator; only 20% of the battery was left. He looked at Kisa across from him. ¡°How much power do you have left on your phone?¡± Kisa was puzzled as she took out her phone and checked. ¡°Only 28%.¡± ¡°Turn it off. When the blizzard stops, we can call Davian for help if we can get up there.¡± Kisa nodded and turned off the phone as told. Gilbert warmed himself in front of the fire for a while, then got up and collected more dead twigs. Kisa looked at him for a while and got up to help him. Just then, Gilbert¡¯s mean voice suddenly came. ¡°You had better sit down. Your dainty leg hasn¡¯t recovered yet. Don¡¯t aggravate the injury and then me me.¡± Kisa clenched her hands and gritted her teeth in indignation. ¡°Then you can collect the dead twigs yourself, and you deserve to freeze to death.¡± At first, she wanted to finish collecting twigs quickly so the two could feed the fire and stay warm together. She left him to it since he did not appreciate it. The fire was getting bigger now. Kisa sat back on her knees before the fire and felt all snug and toasty. She could not help but nce at Gilbert again. Seeing his thin clothes, an indescribable feeling rose up inside her. ¡®He said he jumped down with me to save me. That means he could even disregard his own life to save me. So he still has feelings for me. But why is he always so mean to me?¡® She picked up a slightly thicker branch and moved about the firewood. Then the fire burned even bigger and brighter. She looked at the me with fascination and suddenly called out to him. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± He was in the midst of collecting twigs. His action halted for a second when he heard her call. He looked back and saw Kisa staring at the fire in a daze. Gilbert pursed his lips and walked over with a bunch of twigs he had just collected in his hands. ¡°What are you calling me for?¡± Gilbert sat down across from her, the me that danced up illuminating his face. He normally had a stony face but now looked much gentler with his face illuminated by the fire. Kisa stared at him for a moment before she asked, ¡± Why did you risk your life to save me?¡± Gilbert said not a word as he looked down and sorted the twigs. ¡°I¡¯m talking to you.¡± Kisa still stared at him. ¡°Are you deaf?¡± He finally raised his eyes to look at her. ¡°Because I care about you, I like you, and I don¡¯t want you to get hurt. That was the reason I saved you. So are you happy now?¡± His voice was tinged with a hint of resentment. Original content from N?velDrama.Org. Kisa clenched her hands. ¡°Why are you so angry? I just wondered if you always disliked me, why suddenly risked your life to save me? Why say those things that go against your own feelings? No need to get angry and just answer me truthfully, can¡¯t you?¡± ¡°It is not against my feelings.¡± Gilbert suddenly said in a low voice, looking extremely surreal in the hazy illumination of the fire. Kisa thought she had heard wrong and asked again, ¡°W- What did you say?¡± Gilbert seemed to be suddenly annoyed. He moved about the firewood and said, ¡°Forget it if you didn¡¯t hear it. Even if you did, you wouldn¡¯t care.¡® He just got angry, and Kisa did not even know what he was angry about. She heard people say that hungry people were extra grumpy, so she took the remaining half of the bread out of her pocket and handed it to him. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 613 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 613 Chapter 613 Let¡¯s See How Long You Can Last ¡°You had better eat something, even if it doesn¡¯t taste good. At least you can replenish some energy, lest you. faint before we get out.¡± Gilbert nced at the bread wrapped in the packaging and sneered, ¡°Is this thing even edible?¡± Kisa took a deep breath and put the bread back in her pocket. ¡°Fine. I will see how long you canst.¡± He lowered his head again and earnestly moved the twigs around a bit in the fire. He was wearing a thin, light gray sweater with a slightly short cor, so she could see the clean ends of his hair and the back of his neck as soon as she raised her eyes. While the icy wind was howling outside the cave, the crackling sound of burning branches ented the quietness in the cave. Gilbert suddenly said, ¡°If you want to sleep, sleep some more. We will find a way to go up in the morning.¡± Kisa hugged her legs and rested her chin on her knees silently. Gilbert ignored her andy down by the fire. He rested one hand on the back of his head and the other across his abdomen. Kisa saw his belly was t. ¡®A big man like him must be hungry now, especially since he has eaten nothing since morning. Besides, how could a person dislike bread when he is hungry?¡® She stared at the man across from her with a frown and decided to voice the unlikely suspicion in her mind. ¡°Hey, you¡­ You refuse to eat the bread because you are afraid I will be hungry and think of leaving it to me, right? She did not even believe what she said. So when she spoke, she was diffident and almost bit her own tongue. Just as she expected, Gilbert let out a sarcastic smile with his eyes closed. ¡°Don¡¯t make a fool of yourself.¡± Kisa pouted. She knew she was the one who was overthinking it, and a sense of awkwardness filled the air. Gilbert still had his lips curled so sarcastically. She bit her lip and changed the subject. ¡°You said you heard your grandma and Sharon talk and learned that I wasn¡¯t the one who hurt your grandma. So do you know why she This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. ndered me?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± he replied indifferently, instantly ending the conversation. She pursed her lips and asked no more questions. She reached out to warm her hands in front of the fire and raised her eyes to look up at the cave opening above. The blizzard showed no sign of abating. But even in such a harsh environment, she was not at all panicking, probably because Gilbert was with her. Had she been the only one who fell into this cave, she would have been cold and scared now. She slowly lowered her eyes, and her gazended on Gilbert. No matter what he saved her for, she was grateful to him at this moment. Madalyn was pacing back and forth in the living room in the vi with her cane. She had not slept all night, and her wrinkled face looked even more weathered at the moment. Davian was also anxious and did not sleep all night. ¡± What should we do? We still have no news of Mr. Kooper. What should we do?¡± Adrien was sitting on the couch and smoking. He looked sullen. The atmosphere in the living room was depressing. Kohen stood before the window and looked outside for a long time. He then said, ¡°The blizzard will not stop for a while. Even if it stops, the snow is so thick. I¡¯m afraid searching for them is also going to be difficult.¡± ¡°We have to find them, even if it is difficult.¡± Peter exhaled smoke from his mouth. ¡°I have prepared two search teams, and as soon as the blizzard dies down, I will order them to go up the mountain to look for him.¡± No one responded as everyone knew that in this bad weather, no one could survive in the wild. Just that no one dared to say it. At this moment, Mia limped up to Madalyn. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 614 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 614 Chapter 614 Don¡¯t Hop Around Mia¡¯s eyes were red with resentment. ¡°It is all because of you. If you hadn¡¯t forced Jensen to go out and look for him, Jensen wouldn¡¯t have gone missing. If Gilbertes back and Jensen is missing, I bet you are going to feel guilty for the rest of your life.¡± Madalyn covered her face and sobbed uncontrobly, looking pitiful and hateful. Adrien nced slyly at Madalyn, the corners of his lips curled up in mockery. Peter suddenly pulled Mia over. ¡°Come on, Mrs. Kooper Sr. is sad enough. Can you not add salt to injury? Besides, if Gilbert cane back, why not Jensen? In your mind, is Jensen not as capable as Gilbert?¡± ¡°Jensen is certainly just as capable as Gilbert. I¡¯m just pissed off.¡± ¡°Okay, I know you are angry, but you are not going to skin Mrs. Kooper Sr. alive, are you?¡± ¡°Absolutely.¡± Davian chimed in and said to Mia, ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr. is at least Jensen¡¯s grandmother. If you rebuke her like this, Jensen will not be happy if he finds out.¡± ¡°Heh, Jensen¡¯s grandmother?¡± Mia sneered, ¡°When did she treat Jensen like her own grandson? To her, she has only one grandson, and that is Gilbert.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like that¡­¡± Madalyn wanted to say something, but words were stuck in her throat. She sobbed for a while before saying, ¡°Jensen is just as important to me.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Mia snorted. ¡°Come on, we are all anxious, and Mrs. Kooper Sr. was even more than us. Let¡¯s wait for the blizzard to stop,¡± Adrien said to Mia. Mia stared at him sullenly, her hands clenched into fists, her heart filled with anger and resentment. She felt sorry for Jensen. ¡®None of these people would care about Jensen. The thing he values most has atst abandoned him.¡® Gilbert woke up with a slight headache. He sat up and turned his neck from side to side; only then did he feel more awake. The fire beside him had gone out, leaving only a little spark of residual heat. Covered with his own ck coat, there was no sign of Kisa in front of him. He panicked and scanned the cave surroundings, only to see her collecting branches by the pond. Kisa was carrying a pile of twigs in her arms; it seemed she had been doing that for a while. She was still limping and walking, her movement bing more difficult and posture unpleasant. He frowned, got up, and walked over. This cave had a lot of these dead twigs. It took her just a short while to collect an armful of twigs. Kisa was very happy. When she saw a branch the size of an arm in the flowering bush, she was delighted and hopped over. Just as she was about to bend down to pick it up, a warm,rge hand tugged at her wrist. Kisa looked over in puzzlement. Before she could open her mouth, she was manhandled back to the firece. ¡°Don¡¯t hop around before your foot fully recovers!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not hopping around. I¡¯m-¡± ¡°We are on our own now, and if you get yourself hurt before the blizzard stops, you will only be a burden. ¡°He was both reproachful and disgusted. Kisa pursed her lips and said nothing. Her joy of having collected so much firewood died down instantly. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Gilbert looked up at her and pursed his lips. ¡°All right, I¡¯m not ming you. I just hope your foot gets better soon, so we can get out easily.¡± Kisa still said nothing, her head hung low, and Gilbert could not quite see her face. He took all the firewood from her. Then he held her hands and rubbed them in his palms. ¡°Why are your hands so cold? I told you to put my coat on, but you didn¡¯t listen. What if you get sick?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 615 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 615 Chapter 615 I Won¡¯t Leave You Behind Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if I really get sick, I will hit myself against the wall and definitely won¡¯t be your burden in the slightest!¡± Kisa instantly pulled her hand back, her eyes reddening as she stared at him with resentment and aggrievement. ¡°Also, if my foot can¡¯t get better and you have found a way to get out, leave. I definitely won¡¯t hold you back,¡± she said with utmost determination. Gilbert was upset to hear what she said. He told himself to be patient and softened his tone of voice. ¡°I don¡¯t mean that. I just want you to stay well, and we can leave this cave together. Only this way will the chance of us being rescued be greater. What will I do if you fall ill or your foot injury worsens?¡± ¡°What do you mean? You can just go by yourself.¡± ¡°Then wouldn¡¯t my jumping down with you be all for naught?¡± Kisa stared at him, not saying anything. ¡®Hell knows why he jumped down after me.¡® Gilbert held her hands tightly again and said in a deep voice, ¡°You know it; there is no way I would leave you behind.¡± Kisa looked away, feeling it ironic, and she really did not. know that. Just then, a serious question came to mind. She turned to look at him and asked, ¡°Did you see me fall down the snow slope with your own eyes?¡± Gilbert nodded his head. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you call Davian and the others for help then? The spot where I fell is right next to the borderline. There should have a signal, right?¡± Gilbert had no words. Kisa cocked her head to look at his slightly lowered head. ¡°You are not so stupid that you don¡¯t know that, are you? 11 Gilbert looked up. His eyes narrowed with a dangerous look. ¡°Who are you calling stupid?¡± ¡°Whoever answers me will be stupid.¡± ¡°Kisa!¡± Gilbert got furious and shook off her hand. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have saved you, you ingrate.¡± He got up and walked toward the pond, thinking to himself, ¡®When I saw her fall down the slope, I was anxious as hell and had no time to think and just went after her. Yet this action was stupid in her eyes. She is such an ingrate!¡® Kisa nced at him from behind, still feeling it ironic. ¡® He taunts others yet doesn¡¯t allow others to taunt him. and call him stupid, which he is. Had he called Davian before jumping down the snow slope, we would have been rescued long ago and wouldn¡¯t have been stuck in this cave, freezing and starving.¡® When she woke up in the morning earlier, she had already eaten half of the bread but was still hungry. But she endured it and did not eat the remaining bread, as she did not know how long she would be stuck here. Kisa touched the bread in her pocket and then reluctantly pulled her hand back out. She tried hard to ignore the existence of the bread, but the hungrier she was, the more she thought about it. She wondered if Gilbert was really not hungry. While thinking, she heard a growling sound like that of a hungry stomach. Kisa was puzzled because it did not only to meet his sullen eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. That sound didn¡¯te from me.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Kisa rolled her eyes. ¡°That came from the idiot,¡± she said. ¡®Heh, he is still trying to deny it. There are only two of us in the cave. If not him, who else?¡® Knowing the man¡¯s bravado, Kisa said nothing more but just called out to him, ¡°Come here for a minute.¡± Gilbert had just picked up the thick branch in the bushes when he heard her call out to him. He could not help but frown. ¡°What?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 616 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 616 Chapter 616 You Didn¡¯t Listen Again ¡°Juste over here.¡± ¡°Say what you have to say!¡± ¡°Come over here and I will say it.¡± ¡°Then you had better keep it to yourself,¡± Gilbert said nonchntly and continued to bend down to collect firewood. Kisa red at him, then staggered to stand up with one leg. Gilbert caught a glimpse of her action, and his face darkened instantly. ¡°I told you to stay where you are? You are not listening again.¡± He came for her as he spoke. Kisa pouted. ¡°I called you so many times, and you didn¡¯te over, so I had to go over to you.¡± Gilbert pressed her to sit down. ¡°What do you want to talk to me about?¡± This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°Nothing, just trying to get you to eat something,¡± Kisa said, taking thest of the bread out of her pocket. Gilbert furrowed his brows. ¡°This kind of stuff, I¡ª¡± ¡°Come on. You had better stop being picky. You try to be tough with your mouth, but your stomach is honest. Eat some and save yourself from fainting because of physical exhaustion.¡± ¡°Heh, am I that weak?¡± ¡°You just look that weak right now.¡® || He had stubble on his chin, his eyes bloodshot, looking haggard. But that still did not hide his inherently sophisticated aura. Kisa unwrapped the bread and broke half of it for him. Eat some, so you have the strength to think of a way out. Gilbert pushed the bread back to her. ¡°Keep it for yourself. There are wild fruits over there. I will go eat the wild fruits.¡± ¡°How can those be eaten? What if they are poisonous?¡± ¡°I already ate onest night. There is nothing unusual about my body, so I guess it is not poisonous.¡± ¡°But-¡± ¡°Alright, we don¡¯t know how long we are going to be stuck here. Keep this bread to yourself, and don¡¯t mind 11 me,¡± he said, then got up and walked toward the pond. again. Kisa stared at him from behind, her eyes inexplicably welling up. ¡®He said he didn¡¯t leave the bread for me on purpose? He is such a liar.¡® There were a lot of red fruits about the same size as small red dates in the bushes over the pond, not very good- looking. There was no way to tell if they were edible. Gilbert squatted by the bushes, plucked a few of the fruits, and put them into his mouth. Kisa was still worried. ¡°Is it really not poisonous?¡± ¡°Whether they are poisonous, I can only eat this. That bread of yours is, at most, only enough for you to last another day and night. I will try this fruit first. If, after a day and night, there is still nothing wrong with me, then it proves that this fruit is not poisonous, and you can also eat it.¡± ¡®Is he testing the poison for me?¡® She squeezed the bread tightly and tried not to think about it. But looking at his broad shoulders from behind, she could not help but feel touched. Only in this cave, where the grudges and grievances between them couldytent, she and he were unwilling to mention them again. At this moment, they both had only onemon goal, to survive this ordeal. So those grudges and hatred really did not seem to matter anymore. Another night had passed. In the morning, Kisa woke up from the cold. The fire beside her had gone out, not even a spark left, but only a bit of residual warmth and white smoke. The firewood she had collected was all burned out, so she had to collect it again. She nced at Gilbert across from her; he was facing the firece on his side, one hand under his head as a pillow, one hand casually resting on his waist. Kisa did not want to disturb him. She quietly got up to collect firewood. The lighter was next to her. She had to gather some firewood to get the fire going again, as it was the coldest time of the morning. She pounded her cold, stiff legs, then slowly got up from the ground. Her heart burst with joy as soon as she got to her feet. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 617 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 617 Chapter 617 Did You Mean to Scare Me? She saw a bright light outside the cave opening and no more wind and snow blowing in. She hurried to Gilbert¡¯s side, and she almost fell to the ground because of so much haste and tion. ¡°Wake up, Gilbert. The blizzard has stopped. Get up and take a look.¡± Gilbert was lying on the ground and showed no sign of waking up despite her call. He had always been shrewd and alert and could not have slept like a log. Her heart sank, and she hurriedly reached out to shake his shoulder. But he still did not respond. Kisa was getting more and more flustered, and she was almost crying. ¡± Gilbert, what is wrong with you? Don¡¯t scare me, Gilbert. Wake up, wake up¡­¡± But no matter how loud she called out, he did not respond in the slightest, and Kisa burst into tears. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. ¡°You said you wouldn¡¯t get sick. You said you wouldn¡¯t leave me. You said you¡¯d take me out. Gilbert, please wake up. Gilbert¡­¡± She fell, sitting helplessly on the ground. At this moment, despair and fear ran through her, and she did not know what to do. She cried out helplessly and reached for his forehead. It felt warm, not very cool nor hot, so she could not tell if he had a fever. ¡®If he is not sick, why is he not waking up? Could it be that the fruit is poisonous?¡® She panicked and reached out to his nostrils to check his breathing with a trembling hand. Perhaps she was in too much panic or fear. She could not feel his breath. ¡°No¡­ It is impossible!¡± She shook her head in panic, and she leaned on the top of him. ¡°Gilbert, I beg you, don¡¯t do this. Just open your eyes and look at me. I¡¯m terrified. Please wake up. I¡¯m begging you. I don¡¯t hate you anymore. I won¡¯t pursue past grudges. I just want you to wake up. Gilbert!¡± Atst, Kisa suddenly sobbed loudly, her voice full of despair and helplessness. ¡°What should I do? You said you wouldn¡¯t leave me behind. You lied! You are a big liar! || Just then, Gilbert suddenly coughed. Kisa tensed up at once, fearing she was hallucinating, and she stared at him with teary eyes. As he opened his eyes slowly, Kisa looked at him with bated breath. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± she murmured. Gilbert smiled at her, but his smile looked a little weak. ¡± How could I not wake up when you cried so loudly?¡± ¡°Y¨CYou pretended to sleep?¡± Gilbert just smiled and said nothing. ¡°Did you mean to scare me?¡± Gilbert still said nothing and smiled. At this moment, Kisa¡¯s fear and helplessness instantly transformed into a sh of anger and aggrievement. At this moment, she was just as angry as she was desperate and scared just now. She punched the man¡¯s chest, crying and yelling at him, ¡°Why did you want to scare me? Why did you scare me for no good reason? Do you think it is fun? Gilbert, if you like to y dead so much, why don¡¯t you just die?¡± She cried and tried to get up off him, but he reached to hold her back, not letting her back away. Kisa punched him with anger, finally dropping on top of him, crying sadly. ¡°This is too much. You are always this hateful. I really hate you.¡± As she cried, Gilbert suddenly held up her face and nted his mouth on her lips. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 618 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 618 Chapter 618 I¡¯m Afraid There Will Be No More Chance Their lips met in a fiery kiss as Gilbert closed his eyes,pletely engrossed but with an inexplicable sadness and sorrow on his face. Kisa struggled and punched him out of anger. But no matter how hard she tried, he did not let go of her. Original content from N?velDrama.Org. He kissed her for a long while until she was about to suffocate. Only then did he let her go. Both of them looked like they were exhausted, with him lying on the ground with a smile and Kisa on top of him, panting softly. Her face was leaning on his chest, and her ears could clearly hear his heartbeat. The powerful heartbeat after heartbeat finally dispelled the fear inside her. ¡°You scared the hell out of me just now,¡± she mumbled. ¡°Don¡¯t you hate me? You should be happy if I really die.¡± ¡°Who will take me out of this ce if you die? If you die, I will also die in this empty cave with you,¡± Kisa said sullenly, with a touch of grievance in her feeble voice. Gilbert smiled. ¡°So this is the reason, apparently.¡± ¡°What else do you think the reason is?¡± Kisa was still reeling from what had just happened, the anger in her voice lingering for a long time. Gilbert hugged her and suddenly fell silent. He stared at the bright cave opening for a long time before saying, ¡°If I say I will bring you out of here, I will.¡± ¡°That opening is so high above the ground, and there are no vines around to climb. How do we go up?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I havee up with an idea.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Kisa was instantly hyped up and in disbelief.¡± You have really thought of a way out of this cave?¡± Seeing her excited look, Gilbert forced a smile. ¡°When I say I wouldn¡¯t let anything happen to you, I won¡¯t let anything happen to you.¡± He stressed it again, his tone full of determination. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She could not understand why a man, who used to be so disgusted with her, sweet- talked her now. She half propped herself up from his body and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go out now since the blizzard has stopped. We don¡¯t know if it will snow again. If it does, we will be done for.¡± While speaking, she wanted to get off his body. Gilbert suddenly pulled her back into his arms and murmured in a hoarse voice with a touch of unintelligible Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat upon hearing the second half of his sentence. ¡°What do you mean by not having the chance again?¡± Having just been frightened, she could not take any bad news again. Gilbert said with a sly smile, looking at her tense expression, ¡°It is only in this cave you will let me hold you like this. But will you still let me hold you like this when we return? So, now is a rare opportunity, and I have got to hug you a little longer.¡± ¡°Come on, don¡¯t joke around here. Let¡¯s get out of here now. If there is a blizzardter, we will die here.¡± She somewhat found his sweet talk awkward and could not get used to it. She braced her arms to get off his body, but Gilbert wrapped his hands around her waist, unwilling to let her go. ¡°Don¡¯t move. Please listen to me.¡± He spoke in a low voice, which reeked of exhaustion and frailty. Kisa thought of him having not eaten anything for so long and knew that he must be weak. So he stopped struggling andy on top of him again with her face on his chest. She then asked him in a low voice, ¡°Do you think we are far from the hot spring area? How do we go back after we get out of this cave?¡° Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 619 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 619 Chapter 619 Just Let Me Hug You ¡°We rolled down the snow slope. The hole is three- dimensional, with the lower side being the ce where we rolled down from. Follow that direction, and you will be on the right track.

Remember, before you get rescued, make sure your phone still has remaining charge.¡± Listening to what he said, Kisa frowned involuntarily, as he sounded strange. She looked up at him. ¡°Aren¡¯t we going out together?¡± ¡°Yeah, we¡¯re going out together.¡± Gilbert smiled. Kisa stared at his smiling face, which looked a bit pale and felt an unexined fear rising within her. ¡°Gilbert, are you feeling unwell?¡± He shook his head. ¡°No. It would be nice if you let me hug you, and¡­ and it would be even nicer if you let me sleep with you.¡± Kisa blushed and jokingly hit him. ¡°We are already in trouble. Stop making this joke already.¡± Gilbert smiled faintly, reaching out to take her into his arms again. Kisa felt warm, lying in his arms. She wondered if he felt cold lying on the cold, wet ground. So she whispered, ¡°I will get some more firewood and make a fire.¡± ¡°No, that is fine.¡± ¡°A¨CAren¡¯t you cold?¡± ¡°Not at all.¡± Gilbert¡¯s s eyes were closed, and his voice was low and breathy, like someone who was about to fall asleep. So Kisa felt that something was not quite right about him. She patted him on the shoulder and asked, ¡°You will not fall asleep again, will you?¡± Gilbert¡¯s lips curled up in a smile. ¡°Why would I? I¡¯m not that sleepy.¡± ¡°Then why are you¡ª¡± ¡°Come on. You¡¯re so verbose and noisy.¡± Kisa pouted and said nothing more. The two of them justy there. Even in the freezing snow, there was still a touch of warmth in the air. Gilbert did not speak again. His eyes closed as if he was asleep. Kisa could not sleep, as she was starving like hell. She just wanted to get out of this hellhole. Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of wild fruits at the pond¡¯s edge. She propped herself up and carefully got up from Gilbert¡¯s body. This time, Gilbert did not react to her movement, seemingly asleep. She studied Gilbert¡¯s face, which looked tired and weak. Kisa thought, ¡®He must be tired and hungry after going hungry for days. Let him sleep a little longer.¡® She hopped to the edge of the cave wall, which had arge number of twigs. After a while, she had collected a pile of them. She set up the newly collected twigs back to the firece and then took the lighter to light the fire. Without a kindling, it was a little hard to ignite just the twigs. She tried a few times and finally ignited one. She quickly took a few slender twigs, put them together, and let themOriginal content from N?velDrama.Org. catch fire. As they all started to burn, she put all those burning twigs under the firewood she had set up, and soon the fire grew. She nced at Gilbert and could not help but smile, figuring that he would feel warmer this way. She picked up some more twigs, threw them in the fire, and then hopped to the pond. The fruit nts at the pond were facing the cave entrance. With enough sunshine, it was growing very well. Kisa picked a lot of them¡ª so many that she could not carry them all with her hands. So she put some in her pockets. She then picked a good¨Clooking one, wiped it with her clothes, and was about to put it in her mouth. Just then, a low voice shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t eat that!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 620 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 620 Chapter 620 I Can Quit Smoking for You Kisa was startled by the voice, and the fruits in her hand fell to the ground. She turned her head in puzzlement and saw Gilbert striding toward her. He seemed to flounder a little as if he was still half asleep or feeling weak because of hunger. Gilbert held her shoulders up, asking anxiously, ¡°Have you eaten? Have you eaten the fruits?¡± Kisa shook her head in bewilderment. ¡°No. W¨CWhat is wrong?¡± Gilbert closed his eyes slightly, obviously relieved. She looked at Gilbert¡¯s anxious look and was worried. ¡± What is wrong? Why can¡¯t I eat the fruits? Are they poisonous?¡± This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Gilbert remained silent, just keeping his head low as if he was not feeling well. Kisa hurriedly helped him to sit down. ¡°Don¡¯t scare me, Gilbert. You are not really poisoned, are you?¡± Gilbert brushed his hair from his forehead and smiled.¡® How can that be? I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m just too hungry and Kisa did not quite believe him. ¡°Then why did you say I mustn¡¯t eat the fruits?¡± ¡°We will be going out soon. It is better not to eat them in case they are really poisonous.¡± ¡°D¨CDidn¡¯t you try that before?¡± ¡°I just ate a bit, and only two days have passed. What if they are poisonous and show their toxicity slowly? I thought that we would be trapped here for a long time if the blizzard didn¡¯t stop. So, as ast resort, we could only take these fruits to fill our stomachs. Now that the blizzard has stopped, and I have thought of a way to get out, it is better not to eat them for safety¡¯s sake.¡± Kisa listened and felt that he had a point. But she still felt that it was wasteful to throw them away. ¡°I have picked a lot of them, and I thought I¡¯d eat enough and have the strength to get out of here.¡± ¡°Better not eat them,¡± Gilbert said, pping all the fruits in her hand to the ground. Kisa felt sorry but did not dare to tell him she still had a few of these fruits in her pockets. There was no evidence showing that the fruits were poisonous. If it was not poisonous, they might save saved her from hunger during critical times. ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s go up there while it is still early,¡± Gilbert said, bringing her to the cave opening. Kisa was very curious. ¡°Can we really get out just like this? It was not like they could fly, and she really could not figure out what way Gilbert hade up with. He said nothing as he just went to the corner of the cave to move a few stones over. The stones were large, and thanks to his strength, he could not have moved them over. He had moved fourrge stones over and now sat on the stones to catch his breath. Kisa could not resist stroking him on the back. ¡°Take a rest.¡± Gilbert propped his elbows on his knees and rested his forehead on the back of his hands, looking exhausted. She did not dare ask any more questions but just sat next to him on a stone. After a while, Gilbert suddenly said to her, ¡°Help me bring the lighter over here.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kisa limped off to pick up the lighter by the fire. Gilbert looked at her injured foot and said in a deep voice, ¡°After you are rescued, go to the hospital and take a good look at your foot. It is ugly to see you limping like a cripple all day long.¡± Kisa bristled at what he said. ¡°Don¡¯t look if it hurts your eyes!¡± As she spoke, she had already brought the lighter over. Gilbert fumbled in his pocket for a while and took out a cigarette pack, which was crumpled. He opened it, and there was only one cigarette left inside. Kisa snickered. ¡°I bet you have been very frugal with your cigarettes for the past few days.¡± Gilbert ignored her and lit the cigarette, and Kisa sat down and chuckled. ¡°Men are really addicted to smoking. They can go without food, but not without cigarettes.¡± ¡°If you want me to quit smoking, I can do that too. Believe it or not.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 621 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 621 Chapter 621 Stepping on Your Shoulders Original content from N?velDrama.Org. Kisa was transfixed for a second and then said with an awkward expression, ¡°Why are you talking about that all of a sudden? You can quit if you like. I don¡¯t care, and I don¡¯t want to care.¡± Gilbert suddenly stopped talking and just smoked in silence. Smoke lingered around, and the side of his face looked a little sad. Kisa wrung her fingers and said softly, ¡°Smoking too much is not good. It is bad for your health and the people around you. If you can quit, then quit it. It is also for your own good.¡± Gilbert just smiled and said nothing. Kisa pursed her lips and apanied him in silence. She felt like he took forever to smoke this cigarette, especially in this silent atmosphere. After a long while, he finally finished the cigarette and tossed the cigarette butt into the fire with the flick of his fingers. He then put his hands on his knees, looking worried, as if something was on his mind. Kisa felt he was not in a good mood, so she kept quiet. Gilbert kept his head low in silence for a long moment before he smacked his knees and got to his feet. ¡°Well, it is time to send you up.¡± Kisa looked at him with surprise. ¡°Send me up? Aren¡¯t we going up together?¡± ¡°It is us going up together, but we have to do it one by one. You go up first.¡± Gilbert¡¯s smile looked natural. Kisa looked at him for a long while but could not tell what was wrong. Gilbert looked up at the cave opening and then bent down to move thergest piece of stone and positioned it below the lowest side of the cave opening. He then stacked the other three stones in turn on thergest stone. Kisa watched quietly and in puzzlement. She could not help but ask, ¡°These four stones are only one meter high when being stacked together. Even if you stand up there, you can¡¯t reach the edge of the opening, let alone me. This method does not work, does it?¡± ¡°If you step on my shoulders, then it will be high enough to reach that cave opening.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Kisa looked at him in shock. ¡°Stepping on your shoulders?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Gilbert put the lighter into her pocket and whispered to her, ¡°When you get up there, go back in the direction you rolled down. Try to get to a ce where there is a signal before dark. If you run into a blizzard, find a cave to take shelter in and find some firewood to keep warm.¡± He zipped up her down jacket and then put the hood on her. He rubbed her cold hands and said in a deep voice, ¡°Be careful on the way. Your foot has yet to heal, so find a thicker branch as a walking stick when you go up there to avoid slipping and falling, and¡ª¡± ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± Kisa could not help but interrupt him. At first, she was quite happy to be finally leaving the cave, but when she heard him say what seemed to be hisst words, she was worried and in a panic again. ¡®No, no, no¡­ I She shook her head vigorously. ¡®He is not injured, at most is a little hungry. How will he die?¡® She did not dare to think but asked him anxiously, ¡°If I go up first, how do you go upter? There are no more other stones in this cave.¡± ¡°You are silly.¡± Gilbert pinched her face in amusement. ¡± When you get up there, find some vines and pull me up.¡± He made it seem like it was easy, but Kisa felt it was not. First, she did not know where to find vines in this freezing weather. Second, he was much bigger while she was petite; she could not pull him up herself. Kisa was notfortable with that idea, so she said, ¡± Why don¡¯t you go up first, and then it will be easier for you to find the vines to pull me up?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 622 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 622 Chapter 622 Come on, I¡¯m a Man Gilbert could not help but chuckle. ¡°How do I get up there? Step on your shoulders?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°I could crush your shoulders if I step on them. Besides, are you sure you can stand up, carrying me on your shoulders?¡± What he said left Kisa speechless. She knew now that she could never bear the weight of a man like him. But what he just said panicked her, and she was not sure if she could pull him up once she was up there. Regardless of how many grudges they had between them, it was absolutely impossible for her to leave him alone in this cave at this moment. ¡°Gilbert, is there another way to get up there, preferably a way we can go up together?¡± ¡°No, this is the only way.¡± Gilbert looked at her with a serious look in his eyes, and when he saw her worried face and hesitation, he could not help butugh. ¡°Are you so afraid that I won¡¯t be able to go up there and you will miss me?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Kisa nodded without hesitation. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Gilbert was moved, and he could not help but draw her into his arms. He hugged her tightly. His chin rested on the top of her head. ¡°You silly, don¡¯t worry. Only after you are up there will I have a chance to go up. Otherwise, neither of us can leave this cave, and we both will die here, ¡°he said in a hoarse voice. ¡°But what if I can¡¯t find any vine?¡± ¡°You can. It is around here. My eyes caught a glimpse of it while I was rolling down the snow slope earlier.¡± ¡°And what if I don¡¯t have the strength to pull you up?¡± Kisa¡¯s voice was choked with sobs. ¡°In that case, there is nothing you can do. Then you can only go back to get help,¡± Gilbert murmured. ¡°I¡¯m not even sure I can walk back, let alone get help. Gilbert, aren¡¯t you afraid of being in this cave alone?¡± ¡°Come on. I¡¯m a man.¡± Gilbert was amused. ¡°It is because I know you will be afraid, so I want you to be the first to go up all the more.¡± ¡°But-¡± ¡°Well, if you keep dawdling, it will get dark.¡± He pushed her away slightly and wiped her tears with his coarse thumbs. ¡°Have faith in yourself. I believe you anyway. You can find a way to get me out after you get up there.¡± Kisa cried andughed at the same time. ¡°I don¡¯t know where you got the confidence.¡± ¡°I just have faith in you.¡± Gilbert smiled and helped her toward the stones. The stones wererge enough for two people to stand on. After helping Kisa up, he stepped on it and climbed up. Once he was at the top, he squatted down and said to Kisa behind him, ¡°Step on my shoulders. Be careful.¡± Kisa looked at his broad shoulders and did not move. Gilbert became impatient. ¡°Hurry up. I¡¯m starving. Go up and get back to the resort sooner.¡± Kisa still did not move, and Gilbertpletely lost his patience. ¡°Do you want to go up or not? Stop wasting time. I really shouldn¡¯t have saved you in the first ce.¡± ¡°Gilbert, you didn¡¯t lie to me, did you?¡± ¡°What? Which one did you refer to?¡± ¡°Every word you said to me today.¡± ¡°Of course, I didn¡¯t lie to you. What do I get by lying to you?¡± ¡°You can really go up there?¡± ¡°Of course, I can. Hurry up and get up there.¡± Gilbert tightened the hands at his sides and helped her get onto his shoulders. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 623 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 623 Chapter 623 Don¡¯t You Lie to Me Perhaps because of stepping on another fellow human, Kisa felt sorry and almost went weak at the knees, as if she would fall at any time. Gilbert held her ankles and said to her, ¡°Don¡¯t stand up yet. After I get to my feet, you can stand up slowly. This way, you won¡¯t fall easily.¡± Kisa nodded subconsciously, then uttered an acknowledgment when she realized he could not see her. Gilbert slowly rose to his feet. Still gripping her ankles, he got up slowly and steadily. Kisa looked at his thick hair; somehow, her eyes welled up, and she felt a lump in her throat. She took a deep breath and said to him again, ¡°Don¡¯t you lie to me, Gilbert. You can definitely go up there too, right?¡± ¡°Yeah, as long as you are up there, I will have a chance to get up there, too.¡± ¡°Are there really vines around here?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°You really saw it?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°You¡¯re lying to me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and believed him for the time being. She thought he was right; this was the only way they could go up, with one person leaving the cave first. It was better than two people getting stuck in the cave. She secretly made up her mind¨Cshe would go up first and then pull him out of the caveter, no matter what. It took a while before Gilbert finally stood up straight. You can now stand up, and once you do, you will find your eyes level with the cave opening,¡± Gilbert spoke with difficulty. He took a pause and continued. ¡°There must be a lot of snow at the mouth of the opening. The snow is slippery. Remember to plow away the snow, grab the weeds and roots, and climb.¡± ¡°Okay. I will stand up now,¡± Kisa said, cautiously getting on her feet. Her heart pounded as she was nervous. She spread her arms wide to keep her bnce, trying not to wobble too much. She finally straightened up. As Gilbert said, the opening was level with her eyes, so it seemed he must have done the math in advance. She reached into the snow with one hand and gripped the ground to stabilize herself while the other hand plowed away the snow. Because the ground around the cave opening was inclined, the snow at the edge of the opening was not too thick, and much of the snow had fallen into the pond below in the cave. It took Kisa a while before she finally cleared an open space. As luck would have it, there were no weeds on the ground, but there were exposed tree roots. She grabbed one of them and found her anchor point. The roots were so big and exposed, and there were many of them. She grabbed a root with her left hand and pulled herself up while reaching up to grab another root with her right, then climbed with much effort and slowly pulled herself up and out of the cave. Gilbert looked up at her, and a gentle smile spread across his face when he saw she was out of the cave. He knew Kisa could do it. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . After pulling herself out of the cave, Kisa was panting heavily, but there was no time to rest. She ignored her frozen hands and face and hurried back to the edge of the cave opening. ¡°Wait down there. I will find the vines.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary.¡± Kisa was getting up when she heard what he said. She was stunned and froze, asking, ¡°Why?¡° Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 624 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 624 Chapter 624 I Lied ¡°Because I lied. There are no vines around here at all.¡± Kisa stiffened in ce. She shook her head stiffly and giggled. ¡°Stop kidding. You just clearly said you didn¡¯t lie to me.¡± ¡°But I really lied to you.¡± Gilbert stood on the stone and looked up at her expressionlessly. He did not look like he was joking. Kisa¡¯s heart sank, and she kept shaking her head. ¡°What do you mean? You said you woulde up, and there were vines around here. You said you wouldn¡¯t lie to me. Gilbert, why are you always like this? You never keep your word. I really hate you. I hate you so much.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes reddened, her voice choked with grief and aggrievement. Gilbert quietly looked at her sad face and suddenly chuckled. ¡°If I didn¡¯t lie to you, would you be willing to get up there? Weren¡¯t you afraid I would die here and couldn¡¯t take you out of here? Now you are out of this cave. Follow the direction where you rolled down earlier, and you can find the way back. So, you shouldn¡¯t be crying. You should be happy. You have been saved, and the person you hate is dying. This is something you should celebrate and be happy about. Why are you crying? ¡°It¡¯s not like that.¡± Kisa covered her mouth, so sad that her heart arched. She hated him but never to the point of wanting him dead. ¡°I¡¯m not talking to you. I¡¯m going to find the vines or something that can pull you up.¡± Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. ¡°It won¡¯t work.¡± ¡°Why won¡¯t it work?¡± Kisa had just gotten to her feet when he said that. She broke down and yelled. ¡°How do you know it will not work if you haven¡¯t tried it? There are no vines around here, but some should be somewhere else. If not, I can return to the resort and get Davian to help.¡± Gilbert stared at her anxious face and asked in a low voice, ¡°You don¡¯t want me to die?¡± Kisa shook her head vigorously. ¡°I never wanted you to die, even when you sent me to prison, set me on fire, and killed our child. I just hate you and resent you for being so cruel to me. I just wished I would never meet you again in this and the subsequent lives, not having anything to do with you again. But I have never wanted your life. After all¡­ after all, you saved me once.¡± After all, her mother had often instructed her when she was a child to guard a man named Gilbert with her life. So, she never wanted to take his life. Even when she hated him, she just thought of taking revenge on him, making him suffer, or staying away from him and not having anything to do with him. But she always wanted him to live well. Gilbert looked at her with emotions and seemingly tears in his eyes. ¡°I didn¡¯t start the prison fire,¡± he said slowly and clearly. Kisa looked at him, both hands grasping the snow, but did not make a sound. Gilbert suddenly smiled self¨Cdeprecatingly. ¡°You still don¡¯t believe me, do you?¡± ¡°I believe you.¡± Kisa suddenly said, her tone serious and sincere. Her reply tugged at his heartstrings, and he asked, almost in disbelief, ¡°Do you really believe that?¡± ¡°Yes, I believe.¡± She did not believe it previously, but now Gilbert sacrificed himself to save her. There was no reason not to believe him. Moreover, he was a man who had always been bold and daring. Putting aside those prejudices, she really should have believed him that he did not start the fire.

If I don¡¯t see any, I will speed up to get help.¡± ¡°Listen to me¡ªgo now and don¡¯t look for any vines,¡± Gilbert spoke in a low voice, sounding sad and powerless as if he had suddenly lost any hope. Kisa frowned at him. ¡°Why, Gilbert? Don¡¯t you want to ¡°I do, but¡­ Even if I go up, I won¡¯t survive. So, don¡¯t waste your energy. Go back by yourself.¡± The headache was getting increasingly intense. His body was getting sorer and weaker. Gilbert even had difficulty speaking. He almost exhausted all his strength when he helped her escape the cave. Mustering all his remaining strength, he looked up at Kisa just to see her for onest time. He saw her eyes wide open, her pale face, her lips shivering as she repeatedly shook her head as if she could not believe something. Atst, strength left his body, and he fell down to the ground. The loud thud of him hitting the ground shattered Kisa¡¯s heart. ¡°Gilbert!¡± she cried out, her voice weak and hoarse from hunger and exhaustion. But she kept crying, hoping to wake the man who had fallen to the ground. She bit the back of her hand, crying and trembling, not knowing what to do. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. ¡°Gilbert, wake up, wake up!¡± She was lying on her stomach at the edge of the cave opening, so anxious that she almost wanted to jump back down. Suddenly, Gilbert¡¯s low and frail voice came from the bottom of the cave. ¡°Go now. D¨Cdon¡¯t waste time and energy. Those fruits have turned out to be poisonous.¡± With that, he went silent. Kisa covered her head and broke down. ¡°Poisonous? How could it be? You said it was not poisonous. Don¡¯t, Gilbert. Just hold on. Kelvin will definitely be able to heal you. Just hold on, I beg you.¡± There was still no sound from Gilbert at the bottom of the cave. She hurriedly wiped her tears away and walked anxiously in the direction from where she fell. Kisa trudged in the snow, every step extremelyborious. But the thought of Gilbert fainting in the cave drove her to press on. Even if she fell, she got up immediately. She seemed not to be afraid of the cold, her hands reddened from the cold, yet she did not seem to feel the pain. Whenever she spotted some vine leaves, she would rush into the snow to look. Some veins were short, only the height of a person. When this was the case, she would move on and look for the next one. She did not even have time to despair and grieve. She was exhausted, hungry, and cold. Several times she fell on the snow and could not get back up. But at the thought that Gilbert was still waiting for her, she propped herself up with a wooden stick and kept going. She did not know how long she had been walking in the snow. While trudging ahead, she saw thick, long vines that grew and climbed a towering tree. She was so excited that she immediately rushed over to it. She fell down several times but immediately got back up. ¡°I can save Gilbert now! I can save Gilbert now!¡± She murmured joyfully, not even thinking about how she would get Gilbert up now that he had fainted. But miracles sometimes happen when people are pushed to their limits. She never knew how far she could go until she tried. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 626 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 626 Chapter 626 I¡¯ll Save You Now Kisa went to the huge tree and clenched a bundle of vines. The tree trunk was so thick even an adult could not wrap his hands around it. The countless vines, growing from the branches to the treetop, stacking on top of each other, were strong and sturdy. Kisa tried hard to pull the vines off the tree until they hurt her hands, but none were torn off. Satisfied with the sturdiness of the strong vines, which could carry a lot of weight, Kisa grabbed the vines tighter and started to climb up the tree with the help of the vines. The vines on the upper part of the tree were less thick than the ones at the bottom. After climbing up toward those vines, Kisa bnced herself, clenching onto the vines single¨Chandedly while stepping on them. She grabbed a bunch of ten vines with her other hand and started biting on them. Biting off the vines, one at a time, Kisa slowly unraveled them from the tree. Finishing the task, she free-falls into the thick and soft snow underneath her, exhausted, creating a human- shaped snow pit. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Kisa did not feel pain but was dizzy from the free fall. She gathered them in her arms before walking down the snowy hill. After taking a few steps, she cursed herself. ¡®Why am I so dumb? I¡¯d get down faster by sliding down the snowy slope.¡® She looked down the hill, realizing she could no longer see the cave and had no idea how long she had traveled. After pondering for a while, Kisa ced the vines on the ground, found a thick branch, and snapped it off. She then picked up the wooden stick she had thrown on the ground earlier, sat on the ground, and carried the vines on her shoulder. Kisa held the thick branch with one hand and the wooden stick with another before sliding herself down the snowy hill, sitting. As the snow was thick, she would plunge the sticks into the snow, giving herself a push whenever she was stuck until she reached the nted and slippery cave opening. Fortunately, tree roots were covering the ground where Kisa had dug out a lot of snow earlier, preventing her from sliding straight into the cave opening again. She quickly put down the vines and crawled to the cave opening, checking up on Gilbert. Kisa could not help but feel anxious, seeing Gilbert lying in the same position, unmoving. She could not help but shout out, ¡°Gilbert, I found some vines. I¡¯ll get you out of there. I¡¯ll get you out of there now¡­.¡± Kisa crawled to the huge tree she found when she came out of the cave, grabbed the vines she had collected just now, and weaved them together, making a long thick rope. She tied the rope on the tree¡¯s trunk and tossed the rest into the cave, reaching the base of the cave with a little excess lying on the cave floor. Kisa pulled on the rope tied to the trunk, ensuring the knot was tightened, grabbed the rope, and started descending into the cave, not hesitating nor thinking of what would happen if she was trapped in the cave again. Getting Gilbert out of there was the only thing on her mind. Her arms were not very strong, and the skin on her palm was scraped off from holding the rope too tightly; she descended into the cave until her feet finally touched the ground after some time. Before she could catch her breath, Kisa rushed to check on Gilbert. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 627 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 627 Chapter 627 Experiencing Life and Death Together Gilbert¡¯s body felt so cold that Kisa flustered after feeling his body temperature. She grabbed Gilbert¡¯s hand and said, trembling, ¡°Gilbert, wake up. I found the vines. I¡¯ll get you out of here now. You¡¯re going to be just fine. Can you open your eyes and look at me? I beg you, Gilbert, please open your eyes.¡± Kisa kept talking to Gilbert, but he would not wake up. Still panicking, she wiped her tears off and said in a determined yet choked voice, ¡°You¡¯re not going to die. I haven¡¯t gotten you back for how you treated me previously. It¡¯s unfair to me if you die like this. Gilbert, I¡¯m not going to let you die. I¡¯m going to save you no matter what.¡± As she said that, she grabbed the rope on the ground hurriedly, tied the rope around Gilbert three times, and ascended out of the cave. Climbing up the rope was harder than descending as Kisa¡¯s arms were swollen and numb, feeling a burning sensation in her palms. Kisa took her time to climb out of the cave, grabbing the rope and trying to pull Gilbert up as soon as she got out of the cave. As Gilbert was fairly heavy, getting him out of the cave was the toughest challenge. Kisa pushed her legs against the roots on the ground to avoid sliding back down. She Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. used all her strength and tried her best to pull Gilbert out of the cave. The red blood from her palms dripped onto the white snow, revealing an obvious contrast in color, yet is not enough for Kisa to take notice at all. Her bloodshot eyes only revealed her only goal right now, getting Gilbert out of the cave, even if she would die doing that. Kisa would wrap the rope around her arm bit by bit as she pulled, not daring to make the mistake of loosening her grip, no matter how painful her palm was, because she was scared that Gilbert would fall back down. After some time, Gilbert¡¯s body finally appeared at the cave¡¯s exit. Kisa was delighted as she pulled at the rope even stronger. She screamed as she yanked at the rope and even got around the big tree to use as leverage before pulling again. Finally, Kisa stretched her neck out and ensured that Gilbert was pulled out of the cave and will not fall back inside before loosening the rope. Kisa copsed andy on the ground after getting Gilbert out, not realizing how painful her palms were while pulling the rope. She wanted to lift her hand up to look at the wound, but could not muster the strength to do so, only feeling that her palms were sticky. Kisa looked at the icicle and snow on the branches nkly and tittered. It was impressive that she managed to get Gilbert out of there and would definitely be saved if they were not in the cave anymore. Kisa painfully turned her head to look at the man lying outside the cave. She mumbled, ¡°Does this count as us experiencing a life¨Cand- death situation together?¡± At this moment, Kisa was exhausted, starving, and could barely open her eyes. The only thing she wanted to do was sleep, but a gust of cold wind blew snowkes and icicles on her face, immediately awakening her. She could not sleep just yet. The only way to truly be rescued after going through so much trouble getting Gilbert out was to bring him back to the resort. ¡®Gilbert was poisoned. I can¡¯t afford to waste any more time,¡® thought Kisa as she forced herself to get up from the snow, refusing to give up. She slowly staggered toward Gilbert but fell as soon as she got nearer to him andnded right on his body. Kisa could faintly hear the man grunting and was immediately alerted as she stared widely at Gilbert¡¯s face. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 628 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 628 Chapter 628 Are We Going to Die Here? Afraid that it was just her hallucination, Kisa did not even dare to blink. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± She called out to Gilbert in a trembling voice, sounding weak and listless as if she would pass out anytime. Finally, Gilbert slowly opened his eyes, which got Kisa so agitated she almost stopped breathing. ¡°Y¨CYou¡¯re awake?¡± She cried with happy tears, and her messy face looked a little hrious though Gilbert thought she looked very beautiful in that way. He arduously lifted his hand and touched Kisa¡¯s choppy hair that was dampened by the snow, saying softly, ¡°You really got me out of there.¡± Kisa nodded hard, ¡°I¡¯m pretty impressive, huh?¡± Her lips were cracked and colorless, matching her pale, ghastly face as she smiled. Gilbert¡¯s heart broke at the sight of her chapped lips. He mumbled, ¡°Yes. You¡¯re the best.¡± A joyous smile appeared on Kisa¡¯s face as she snuggled into his arms weakly, not feeling like moving at all. Gilbert held her tight in his arms but hastily lifted and looked straight at the source of the gooey feeling when he touched her palm. Kisa¡¯s palms were covered in blood. The patch of bright red color in front of his eyes saddened him. Not daring to touch her palm at all, Gilbert said in a heartbroken and sad tone, ¡°Why? This isn¡¯t worth it¡­ It isn¡¯t worth it at all¡­¡± ¡°Yes, it is,¡± Kisa whispered, sounding very weak. ¡°How could it be? I ate a poisonous fruit. I could be dead anytime¡­¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense,¡± Kisa said, not having the strength to be mad at him anymore. She continued wearily, ¡°I worked so hard to get you out of that cave. You can¡¯t be so negative, or else everything I did will all be for naught.¡± Gilbert stared at her bloody palm without talking, and his eyes became teary. ¡®She doesn¡¯t even love me. Why would she do so much for me? What¡¯s going on in her mind?¡® Even though he did not understand many things, he did not dare to ask her, afraid of not getting the answer he desired. He preferred leaving some room for his imagination rather than getting the answers that would hurt him. The cold wind blew by, and countless snowkes fell on them. Soon, their bodies were covered by a layer of snow, yet theyy on the ground, unmoving as if they could not feel cold at all. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Kisa¡¯s consciousness became weaker. Despite her wanting to get up and bring Gilbert back, she could not find the strength to do so. She said weakly, ¡°Hey, do you think we¡¯ll die here?¡± ¡°¡­I¡¯m not going to let you die as long as I¡¯m here,¡± said Gilbert. Kisa lifted the corners of her lips. That reply did not sound like it came out of a person¡¯s mouth who hated her. ¡°Gilbert, you should walk back if you still have the energy. Just leave me here. I really¡­ can¡¯t move anymore. Kisa¡¯s vision blurred after saying that. She wondered to herself if she actually loved or hated Gilbert before passing out. Meanwhile, in the mansion, one of the rescue teams returned and did not find any traces while the other team was still searching. Not only were there no updates about Kisa and Gilbert, but news of Jensen¡¯s whereabouts was also missing. Adrien was starting to get a little annoyed as almost the entire box of cigarettes was finished by him within a short time. Madalyn had not been sleeping for the past few days and fell ill. However, she did not want to rest in her room. She insisted on lying on the sofa in the living room to wait. Everyone was gathered in the living room, waiting for updates. The atmosphere there was tense and stressful. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 629 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 629 Chapter 629 Gilbert, Is That You? Davian went to look for them with Kohen after the snowstorm was over. Peter ordered the rescue team to look in another direction. The time they spent waiting was very tormenting. Eylul was keeping the three childrenpany upstairs. She looked at that misty white hill far away and could not help but feel heartbroken. Andrew and Ada were the saddest as they wiped their tears silently while leaning on the window. They knew that their father and Kisa had gone missing, and everyone was searching for them. So, they did not dare to ask too many questions as they patiently waited for the updates. ke had been keeping himselfposed since the incident happened. He sat before the window without saying anything. There was not any expression on his delicate face. Nobody knew what was going on in his head. However, this kid, who was the calmest, hid in the corner and cried the hardest after Gilbert and Kisa came back. The cold wind shrieked, and it stung their faces. Kisa struggled and tried to lift her heavy eyelids, but she could barely open her eyes. She could vaguely see the snow moving. Also, she heard the creaking sound of somebody steeping on the snow while gasping for air. She wanted to speak, but her mouth would not move. She tried to look at what was happening in front of her clearly, but she just could not find the strength to open her eyes. The only thing that her ears could hear was the cold wind whistling. Kisa felt bumpy, as if somebody was carrying her. The wide and warm shoulders made her feel very comfortable. ¡°Gilbert, is that you?¡± She moved her lips weakly, but the sound of her voice immediately dispersed in the raging wind. She drifted off and felt like she went back to her teenage years. When Gilbert saved her from drowning, he carried her on his back while walking home as he kept scolding her. That was a very happy time of her life. Even though he scolded and hated her, it felt a lot better than what she had with him in the present. At least there was not so much damage done between them. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Kisa felt like she had a very long dream about what happened during her adolescence and teenage years. Those younger days were so sweet and reminded her of the bitter days when she had a crush on Gilbert. It was mesmerizing for her. She woke up and felt a light throbbing pain in her chest. However, she could not get over her dream and the times she could never go back to, so she tried getting back into her dream after waking up. But the more she tried to recall her memories, the emptier and sadder she felt. After all, it was impossible for her to relive those moments again. Nothing was going to change, no matter how much she thought about it. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her eyes. It was Jensen. ¡°Are you awake?¡± Jensen asked gently. His t voice sounded emotionless. Kisa looked at her surrounding in confusion. She could not remember where she was at that time. Jensen touched her head and said softly, ¡°You¡¯re back at the resort now. Don¡¯t worry. Everything¡¯s fine.¡± The word, resort, immediately reminded Kisa of what had happened before she passed out. She instantly remembered how she was trapped in the cave with Gilbert and how they almost died together. She quickly sat up, and her hands hurt. Her forehead was covered with ayer of cold sweat because of the pain. She put her palms in front of her. She noticed that her hands were patched up, and she could not see the wound. However, her blood overflowed and seeped through that bandage. Jensen looked at her silently, and his deste eyes looked emotionless. Kisa looked away from her hands and asked Jensen nervously, ¡°Where¡¯s Gilbert? Where is he?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 630 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 630 Chapter 630 Love and¡­ Hate? ¡°How did your hands get hurt?¡± Jensen asked her a question instead of answering her. His voice was deep. Kisa looked away. ¡°It was an ident.¡± Then, she asked again, ¡°Where¡¯s Gilbert? Tell me now.¡± Jensen smiled and said, ¡°You only hurt your hands because you tried to save Gilbert, right?¡± ¡°He only fell into the cave with me because he tried to save me. So, there was no way I¡¯d leave him alone in there. ¡± She shifted her gaze back at Jensen, looking stern. Jensen bowed her head down and smiled without saying anything. Kisa got anxious. After all, Gilbert ate a poisonous fruit. Then, she asked worriedly, ¡°Jensen, how¡¯s Gilbert now?¡± ¡°He left.¡± ¡°Left?¡± Kisa furrowed her brows. She did not dare to think negatively as she asked nkly again, ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± ¡°Gilbert was very close to dying when he got here. The medical facilities here are limited, so Davian brought him and his family back overnight.¡± ¡°C¨CClose to dying?¡± Kisa spoke in her feeble voice, sounding tense.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Molly shook her head. She felt very uneasy. She looked at Jensen and said softly, ¡°Did you know that he ate a poisonous fruit? He was poisoned.¡± Jensen did not look surprised at all. It seemed like he already knew about it. He said, ¡°So what? Kelvin could bring you back to life then. I¡¯m sure he can do the same to Gilbert.¡± Kisa only felt a little better after hearing what he said. Indeed, the doctors had told Kisa that she would die, but Kelvin proved them all wrong. ¡®It was just a tiny fruit anyway. I¡¯m sure that Kelvin can handle it.¡® The worry in her eyes started to go away slowly as she thought about that. Jensen looked deep into Kisa¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°Have some rest. I¡¯ll get the maid to send you some light food.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kisa nodded. Then, she asked hastily as if something popped into her head, ¡°Did you save Gilbert and me?¡± ¡°No. Gilbert brought you here by carrying you on his back. 11 He left Kisa sitting on the bed alone sluggishly after he said that. During the snowstorm, Jensen had gone outside. But it was just impossible for him to move forward. He took cover in a tiny cave for some time, and he only brought some choctes to replenish his energy. He only began to move deeper into the woods after the snowstorm died down. He saw the cave, the huge tree with a rope wrapped around it, and the blood on the rope. Jensen thought they might have been in the cave, so he immediately looked for footsteps in the snow. However, he was still a step behind. Gilbert had already carried Kisa back to the resort before catching up to them. He immediately thought of the rope as soon as he saw the wound on Kisa¡¯s hand, and he could guess what had happened. He leaned on the fence and lit a cigarette. He took a light drag, and a worried look appeared on his face. Jensen untied his tie and spaced out while looking at the empty living room downstairs. Mia limped toward him and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? She¡¯s back now. What are you worried about?¡± Jensen got up and was about to leave when he saw Mia as if he did not want to see her. Mia grabbed his arm angrily. ¡°What is this about?¡± ¡°I¡¯m tired.¡± Jensen shrugged her off and walked toward his room. Mia red at his receding back and yelled, ¡°There¡¯s no use of you getting jealous. She hates Gilbert very much, but she loves him just as much! Her personal feelings have absolutely nothing to do with you!¡± ¡®Love and¡­ hate?¡® Jensen squinted, and he put on aplicated look on his face. Kisa was still on an IV drip. Shey on the bed with her thoughts going wild. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 631 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 631 Chapter 631 His Heart Has Stopped The panting and the wide, warm back she heard and felt in her daze were real. It was really Gilbert who carried her back. ¡®He said before he would not let me die with him around, and he actually did it.¡® Yet, she still could not figure out why a man who hated her to the bones would so desperately try to save her. What he had done was far from his so¨Ccalled hatred for her. She looked nkly at her meticulously bandaged hand. The scene where she pulled that man out of the cave with vines felt like a dream. If it were in the past, she would never have dared to imagine it at all. ¡®Gilbert, you¡¯ve aplished what you¡¯ve promised me, and so did I.¡± She muttered to herself as she looked out the window. It seemed to be snowing outside. The snow was very fine, and Kisa could not see them without looking closely. She recalled what Gilbert said when he helped her out of that cave. Suddenly, she wanted to see that man so much. ¡®How are you doing now?¡® She muttered to herself, and little by little, those murmurs soon turned into concern and anxiety. In the Kooper residence, Gilberty motionless on the bed. His lips looked a little dark purplish, either from poisoning or frostbite. Kelvin anxiously used his instruments to perform a full body examination on Gilbert. Mrs. Kooper Sr. wiped her tears away anxiously by the side. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Davian paced around the room too. After Kelvin was done with the examination, he hissed, ¡°This is a very rare poison. I can¡¯t tell what sort of toxin that is. If only we have some of the fruit to test.¡± ¡°That¡­ that fruit came from the mountain, are we supposed to go back there to look for it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s toote.¡± As they spoke, Gilbert¡¯s body suddenly stiffened as he spat out a mouthful of blood. Mrs. Kooper Sr. panicked as she rushed to the bedside and wailed in sorrow. Yet, Gilbert did not respond at all. Kelvin quickly checked his heartbeat, and his expression suddenly changed. ¡°His heart has stopped. Davian, take Mrs. Kooper Sr. out. I¡¯ll be using a defibritor to jolt his heart.¡± ¡°No, Gilbert, my dear Gilbert, will not die! How can his heart stop beating? No, no!¡± ¡°NO!¡± Kisa suddenly got up, her chest heaving violently. She could not stop panting as she looked nkly at the gently shaking curtain by the window. Suddenly, a figure rushed over, grabbing her by the shoulder as she asked anxiously, ¡°Kisa, are you alright?¡± 12 Kisa subconsciously pushed the hand away, and she was slightly dumbstruck when she recognized the figure as Lea. ¡°Lea?¡± ¡°Kisa, are you alright?¡± Lea¡¯s eyes were red, and worry lined her faced, her concern genuine. Kisa shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± However, her heart was still beating wildly. ¡®What was that? Was it a nightmare? Did I just dreamed that Gilbert died?¡® When she remembered the scene in her dream, she shuddered as a chill suddenly descended on her back. She grabbed her arm and asked Lea, ¡°Do you know what happened to Gilbert?¡± Lea shook her head. ¡°After he returned with you, Davian and Mrs. Kooper Sr. brought him, Andrew, and Ada back. That b*tch Sharon also followed them, of course.¡± Kisa licked her dry lips as she said, ¡°So that means you don¡¯t know how he¡¯s doing right now?¡± Lea nodded. ¡°I heard that Mr. Webb gave him a call, but no one answered. He then called the Kooper residence¡¯sndline, but there was no response either.¡± Kisa felt the chill even more. Lea added, ¡°Thank goodness both you and Mr. Gilbert returned safely. I heard there was an avnche in the mountains. It was the same cave the both of you had taken shelter. The entire ce copsed, and snow is everywhere.¡± ¡°What?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 632 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 632 Chapter 632 That Thing Is Very Important to Me Kisa¡¯s expression suddenly changed. For some reason, she recalled that earlier nightmare. ¡°That was such a close call, Kisa. Thinking of it now still gives me the jitters. It would have been really dangerous if you and Mr. Gilbert were still in that cave.¡± Kisa barely even listened to her. What Kelvin had said in that nightmare was ringing in her ears. Although it was just a nightmare, it felt particrly real to her. Kisa quickly looked at her body and found that she was wearing a loose nightgown at this moment. She then hurriedly searched the room. Sensing that Kisa was looking for something, Lea asked, ¡°Kisa, what are you looking for?¡± ¡°My shirt. That down jacket I wore when I rolled down the mountain.¡± ¡°Oh, oh¡­¡± Lea suddenly got up. ¡°I changed your clothes earlier and ced them in the bathroom as I thought of washing them up for you.¡± ¡°Bring it over, please.¡± ¡°Oh, okay¡­¡± As Lea said, she walked into the bathroom. Kisa grasped the quilt tightly, her heart anxious. Her phone was by the headboard, charging. She pondered for a moment before unplugging the phone, going through the contact list as quickly as possible, and pulling out a number. The name on the contact profile was Gilbert¡¯s. She hoped that that nightmare was just that, a nightmare, but the sensation of how real it was struck fear in her. Kisa closed her eyes for a moment, and when she reopened them, a look of determination appeared in her eyes, her fingers quickly tapping on the number before dialing it. Yet, no one answered the phone after two attempts. ¡®Why is this happening? It would be normal if Gilbert¡¯s phone were not with him, so he didn¡¯t hear the call¡­¡® ¡®But why isn¡¯t anyone answering thendline in the Kooper¡¯s residence?¡® Her instincts told her that something had happened to Gilbert. As she thought of that, Lea brought her clothes over. Kisa quickly grabbed the down jacket and started rummaging through its pockets. She remembered she had put quite a number of those fruits in it. She thought of eating it to stave off the hunger if push came to shove. Later on, when she heard Gilbert telling her that the fruit was poisonous, she was both anxious and angry at the man for lying to her in the cave and forgot about it altogether. Regardless of whether the dream was real, she was relieved upon finding those fruits. Yet, after rummaging both pockets for a good while, she found nothing. She turned nervously toward Lea, ¡°Where¡¯s the stuff inside the pocket?¡± Lea looked on in confusion. ¡°What¡­ stuff? I didn¡¯t notice anything when I took that jacket off you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a couple of fruits, about the size of a pine nut and reddish in color.¡± Kisa was so anxious she almost choked on her saliva. Lea frowned and thought briefly before saying, ¡°Oh, I remember now. When I took the jacket into the bathroom, I remember seeing a few nut¨Clike things dropping out of it.¡± ¡°Where are they now?¡± Kisa suddenly grabbed her hand, her tone anxious, shocking Lea. She had never seen Kisa like this before. ¡®Before this, no matter what happened, even if it were her life at stake, Kisa would not panic like this.¡® ¡®So, why is she so insistent on those fruits?¡± She did not respond but asked, ¡°What do you want them for?¡± ¡°Just tell me where they are. Those are important to me.¡± Kisa looked at her, her voice a low growl. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Looking at Kisa¡¯s serious and persistent look, Lea was so shocked she dared not answer. ¡°Those fruits¡­ Uh¡­ I think I¡­¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 633 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 633 Chapter 633 Has That Woman Gone Nuts? ¡°What¡­ did you do to them?¡± Kisa asked softly and cautiously though her tone tensed. ¡°I¡­ I already tossed them into the bin outside.¡± Kisa immediately got out of bed and ran outside. Lea quickly chased after her, ¡°I don¡¯t know if the garbage outside has already been taken away. The garbage truck wille here once a day to empty the bins, and it¡¯s usually around this time.¡± Kisa did not say anything nor me Lea as she quickly made her way outside. She had only just woken up, and her body was still weak. Her legs were feeling wobbly as she walked. Lea was anxious and quickly stepped forward to help her, but Kisa deliberately avoided her outstretched hand. Her steps were weak as she staggered forward. When she made her way to the hall, she ignored the surprised nces of everyone there as she ran outside frantically. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Lea was chasing after her from behind, and Peter grabbed her. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Has that woman gone nuts?¡± ¡°She¡¯s looking for something.¡± ¡°What thing?¡± ¡°Uh¡­ it¡¯s some reddish fruit,¡± Even Lea was confused. Jensen¡¯s gaze sank, and he immediately chased after Kisa. Mia twitched her lips as she followed him out with her crutches. ¡°Wait¡­ stop¡­¡± Just as Kisa ran out, the cleaner was just about done collecting the garbage and was about to drive away with the garbage truck. She ignored the pain in her ankle as she chased after the garbage truck in a frenzy. In the end, it was Jensen who sped ahead and stopped the truck. The cleaner was confused when his truck was stopped, ¡°What¡­ what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°My friend had mistakenly discarded something. Please stop for a while for her to find it.¡± The cleaner was a man about fifty years old, and he immediately nodded as he lowered down the truck¡¯s bed rails. When Kisa ran over, her ankle was screaming in pain, so much so that her face turned pale. She held onto the side of the truck and panted for a bit; cold sweat lined her forehead. Jensen came to help her. ¡°You¡¯ll wreck your leg like this.¡± Even though his tone was admonishing, it was still low and deep, which was nice to listen to. Kisa shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Seeing her being so persistent, Jensen did not say more but felt distressed inside. He then asked her, ¡°What are you looking for? Let me help.¡± Kisa looked at the truck. It was messy and dirty. She then shook her head. ¡°No need, I¡¯ll look for it myself.¡± As she said that, she pulled herself up into the back of the truck with the help of the rail. The truck was loaded with garbage from the entire VIP area, but thankfully the areas were clearly marked on the bags. And theirs was VIP zone 1. Kisa immediately searched the bags and quickly found the ¡°zone 1¡± marker. She quickly pulled therge garbage bag out. At this moment, both Lea and Mia also ran over. Mia nced at Jensen, who stood expressionless by the side and was surprised. ¡®This man actually did not help her. How strange.¡¯ On the other hand, Lea quickly climbed up the truck to help Kisa search for the fruits. There were many smaller garbage bags inside therge one. Kisa did not care about getting dirty as she anxiously rummaged through the contents. Lea looked at Kisa¡¯s dirtied and bandaged hands and said, ¡°Kisa, how about we stop? There must be more of those fruits in the mountains. We can just go look for some moreter.¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡®If the poison in Gilbert¡¯s body really needs these fruits for testing, then it¡¯ll be toote to go back to the mountains to look for them.¡® She had searched through all the smaller garbage bags, yet still could not find the fruits. There was only one small bag left in therge garbage bag. Kisa could not help but feel a little irritable. She pulled the small bag out and opened it up, and there was a little tinge of red inside the messy bag. Her heart trembled, and she immediately opened it up. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 634 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 634 Chapter 634 The Crazily Devoted Type Immediately, about a dozen or so of the red fruit came into view. The fruits were not as fresh as they were initially, but they had yet to spoil either. She quickly picked the fruits up and put them into her clothes without caring about how dirty they were. Seeing that Kisa had found the fruits, Lea heaved a sigh of relief and did not feel so guilty now. Mia looked at Kisa¡¯s bizarre behavior and spat, ¡°What a lunatic.¡± ¡°Tch¡­¡± Seeing Kisa¡¯s embarrassed look alongside the dirty fruits in her pocket, Peter frowned in disgust. ¡°Miss Kisa, if you really want to have fruits, I have plenty in this resort. Why do you need to pick those up from the garbage truck?¡± ¡°They are important to me,¡± Kisa said before pausing for a moment. She then asked Peter,¡± I heard you¡¯ve given the Kooper residence a call. Do you know¡­ how Gilbert is doing right now?¡± Peter shook his head. ¡°No one answered my call. Forget it. He¡¯s probably alright, or else it would have already made it to the papers.¡± Kisa was still ill at ease, and she turned to Jensen. He, too, shook his head. Kisa frowned. As she worried about Gilbert, she wondered if she had made a mountain out of a molehill. ¡®If Gilbert is really going to die, and if he really needed these fruits for testing¡­¡® ¡®Mrs. Kooper Sr. could just call Jensen and get him to send them back.¡® But even if Jensen had no idea how Gilbert was now, then it could just be that Gilbert was totally fine, and the dire situation was just a figment of her imagination from that nightmare. you No matter what, she still needed to go to the Kooper residence to check things out. She looked at Adrien seated on the sofa smoking and said, ¡°I¡¯ll be heading back. Thank for your generous hospitality over the past few days. This is indeed a good vacation ce.¡± Adrien smiled as he let out a ring of smoke. ¡°Just look at you, being all so reserved. Speaking of which, I, too, feel bad for what happened. How about you stay here until you¡¯ve fully recovered? This is Peter¡¯s ce, after all. You can stay as long as you like.¡± ¡°No, thank you. I still have a lot of work to attend to. The shooting of your film will start at the turn of the year, right? I¡¯ll need to go prepare.¡± Adrien stared at the fruit in her arms and smiled. ¡°Since you insist, I won¡¯t be holding you back. If you ever want to return here for another vacation, just tell Peter or me.¡± Kisa nodded as she walked upstairs with the fruits in her arms. Adrien stared at her thin and somewhat familiar¨Clooking back, and aplex look appeared in his sharp eyes. Jensen, too followed behind her with a hand in his pocket. Seeing that, Adrien snorted. ¡°Ah, to think they are the crazily devoted type!¡± Although he was not loud, both Peter and Mia heard that. Peter was still confused by what Jensen had said in the corridor that day. Uncle Adrien was a good friend of the Webb family, and Jensen had previously worked under Adrien. So he actually knew thetter for quite some time now, yet for some reason, the two of them could not get along. After reaching upstairs, Kisa quickly changed her clothes and packed her bags. When she opened the door, Jensen was waiting for her there. He nced at her hands, and his beautiful eyebrows furrowed. She had removed the bandage from her hands. The wounds had yet to heal, with bloody scars all around her hand. Some of them even turned outwards and looked rather terrifying. ¡°You¡¯re that much in a hurry?¡± ¡°Yeah, Kohen and the rest had already left, so it¡¯s a little weird for me to continue to stay here.¡± She did not tell him about Gilbert. After all, it was just a nightmare. Before she figured out what was happening, she dared not tell anyone about it. ¡°How about you and Mia stay here for a few more days? Thepany doesn¡¯t really need your attention right now.¡± As she said that, she dragged her luggage and walked past him, yet she did not expect him to pull her arm suddenly.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 635 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 635 Chapter 635 Should I Forgive Him? Kisa turned back and looked at him, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take you home. It¡¯ll be quick.¡± ¡°But, Mia is alone¡­¡± Kisa still had something to say, but she was pulled into the room by Jensen. ¡°Before we go back, let me bandage your wound,¡± Jensen pushed Kisa onto the sofa. The man¡¯s voice was husky and gentle, making it hard to resist him. The medical kit, left by the doctor who came to treat her injuries, was at the coffee table. Jensen opened the medical kit and took out the alcohol, ointment, and gauze. Jensen has always been a detailed man, but he was particrly meticulous while dressing people¡¯s wounds. He squatted in front of her, skillfully disinfected her wound, applied ointment, and wrapped it with gauze. On the other hand, Kisa¡¯s mind was somewhere else. She was still very worried about Gilbert. ¡°To be honest, you don¡¯t really hate him anymore after what happened this time, right?¡± Jensen suddenly asked casually. Kisa froze, remaining silent. Jensen looked into her eyes and saw the struggle within. ¡°You don¡¯t have to suppress your feelings. You don¡¯t have to lie to yourself if you don¡¯t hate him anymore.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not it. I still hate him,¡± Kisa said. ¡®It¡¯s just the hatred for him isn¡¯t strong enough to erase my love for him.¡® ¡°Kisa¡­¡± Jensen continued dressing her wound. ¡°No one forced you to take revenge on him. You should follow your heart. From the start, I just wanted to motivate you to live by saying I would aid you in taking revenge.¡± ¡°Sometimes, after holding onto an idea for so long, you¡¯ll forget why you even held on to it in the first ce, only knowing that you have to persist at the end of the day, just like this revenge and your hatred for Gilbert. You have always been obsessed with revenge, but the hatred has faded. You only remembered to take revenge but forgot why you initially wanted it.¡± ¡°Once you really seeded in taking revenge on him, you might get lost and confused again,¡± Jensen¡¯s only intention was to wish that she would not dwell on her so¨Ccalled revenge n and ignore the important things in her life. These days, Kisa was very confused as well. She hated the man in the past, but she was ready to risk everything to save him now. The man loathed her in the past but was willing to sacrifice himself for her life now. Perhaps both of them ignored their true feelings and thought there was only hatred between them. Kisa pursed her lips and said softly, ¡°You¡¯re right. There are things that you have to face to see clearly. Otherwise, it¡¯ll always be blurry and easily misunderstood. ¡°After I return, I¡¯ll find out the culprit for the fire that year with Gilbert. I¡¯d let go of my hatred This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. for him if he did not set the fire. After all, hating someone is a tiring matter. He sent me to prison that year after thinking that I was the one who hurt Madalyn and kidnapped Sara. Now that he knows the truth, he has already apologized for what he did and doesn¡¯t even mention Sara¡¯s name in front of me now. ¡°After resenting him for so long, it¡¯s time to forgive him now, right?¡± Jensen did not reply and continued treating the wound on her hands. Kisa¡¯s eyes welled up, ¡°Am I a loser? I just forgave him. But what was I going to do? Was I really going to let him die? I can¡¯t do that. In the end, I was only trapping myself.¡± Jensen bandaged her hands and pulled her pants up to apply ointment on her swollen ankles. ¡°Be careful next time unless you don¡¯t want your foot anymore.¡± Kisa bit her lower lip and grew strangely ufortable. After Jensen had put everything in order in the medical kit, he stood up and patted her shoulder. ¡°If you get tired of hating, it shows you don¡¯t hate him anymore. Remember, these are your own emotions. No one can influence you.¡± ¡°He sacrificed his life to save me this time. I really think that he likes me.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 636 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 636 Chapter 636 Are You Satisfied Now? Kisa, with her tear¨Cfilled eyes, sobbed and choked when she looked at Jensen. Jensen, wiping her tears away, said, ¡°That¡¯s why you have to ask him in person about this rtionship.¡± Kisa nodded her head, ¡°I will ask him.¡± Jensen then raised a corner of his lips and gave a half¨Csmile. With Jensen¡¯s excellent driving skills, the car ride back was smooth and fast, with Kisa and Lea in the passenger seat. Along the way, Kisa was quietly staring out the window. Lea peeked at her, wanting to say something, but resisted out of concern for interrupting her. When they passed through an endless white field, Lea couldn¡¯t help but seize the opportunity to grab Kisa¡¯s hand, ¡°Kisa, look! It¡¯s so beautiful.¡± Kisa lifted her gaze and gave a brief glimpse. All the fields were covered in snow. At first nce, it was a beautiful vast expanse of whiteness. The scenery was out of this world. Lea felt strange and guilty simultaneously, seeing Kisa staring out the window without replying. Lea then started another conversation, ¡°Kisa, let¡¯s make a snowman after we return.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a lot of snow this year. Will it continue to snow after the New Year? I had never liked snow before, but I started to like snow after seeing such a beautiful snowscape. Kisa, do you like snow?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°Did you take pictures of the snowscape on Kerrona Hill? I could send you a few if didn¡¯t. The scenery was charming. Did you¡­¡± ¡°Lea,¡± Kisa turned her head and looked at her, ¡°I would like to rest for a while.¡± Lea, taken aback, replied, ¡°Oh, okay.¡± you Kisa continued to rest her head on the window. At the moment, she did not dare to look into Lea¡¯s abnormality that day. Kisa always treated Lea as her best friend. She was scared that she would be unable to handle the truth once she got to the heart of the matter. She closed her eyes in agony. The trip to Kerrona Hill took approximately 6 hours, while the way back took less than 5 hours. Kisa did not return to her residence but asked Jensen to send her to the Kooper residence. She had to confirm if Gilbert was okay. The Kooper residence¡¯s gate was wide open, so Jensen went straight in. The door was wide open, but no one came out to wee them. The usually busy servants in the courtyard could not be seen today. Kisa started to doubt Gilbert was in the residence. Maybe she should have asked Davian before coming. As they were already at the door, there was no point in asking anyway. Kisa jumped out of the car with her injured ankle, wearing a beige coat while keeping a red fruit in her coat pocket. With Jensen and Lea¡¯s help, she hobbled into the mansion. ¡°Woah, what a rare guest we have here.¡± Just as Kisa walked through the door, a sarcastic tone reached her ears. Kisa furrowed her brows as she saw Sharon standing near the sofa with a sneer and arms crossed. Kisa ignored her and searched around the living room. Her gaze ended up at the empty stairway. ¡®That¡¯s weird. The Kooper residence always has many servants around. How could it be so empty in broad daylight? If Gilbert wasn¡¯t here, why would Sharon be here? Besides, where did Madalyn go?¡¯ Kisa said to Jensen, ¡°Let¡¯s go up to take a look.¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Sharon blocked them when Jensen was about to help Kisa up the stairs and snorted, ¡°What are you doing? Have you guys not hurt Gilbert enough? Do you still want to go up and irritate him?¡± Kisa¡¯s heart sank, ¡°How¡¯s Gilbert?¡± This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. ¡°He¡¯s dying. Are you satisfied now?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 637 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 637 Chapter 637 He Was Holding Back The scenes from Kisa¡¯s nightmare emerged from her mind once again. Kisa pushed Sharon away and hurried up the stairs. Sharon threw insults at her, chasing after her when Lea rushed to hold Sharon back, ¡°Kisa, hurry up!* When Kisa and Jensen were right at the corner of the stairs, they saw Madalyn. ¡°How¡¯s Gilbert?¡± Kisa asked softly. Madalyn suddenly raised her hand, and Kisa flinched and closed her eyes. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. A p was heard, but Kisa did not feel the pain. She opened her eyes in surprise and saw Jensen tilting his head, a p mark visible on his face. She was startled and quickly grabbed Jensen¡¯s arm and shrieked at Madalyn, ¡°Why did you hit him?¡± Jensen tightened his hands, his jawline sharp and cold but remained emotionless. Madalyn had gotten older, her finger full of wrinkles, pointed at Jensen, and howled in despair,¡± You¡¯re such a phony person. You¡¯re rotten to the core, as I expected. You should have nevere back here.¡± ¡°What are you talking about, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?¡± Kisa was dumbfounded and worriedly eyed Jensen. ¡®Why would Madalyn condemn him out of nowhere? Just as Kisa was thinking, Madalyn, bawled out in sorrow to Jensen, ¡°Bring back my grandson¡¯s life, bring my grandson back to me¡­.''¡± Kisa was thunderstruck and asked in a tense voice, ¡°What happened to Gilbert?¡± ¡°What does ¡°bring my grandson back to me¡± mean? She sounded as if Gilbert was gone. No, stop! Stop being paranoid.¡® Kisa clutched onto Jensen¡¯s arm to ensure she could stand upright. Her eyes fixed on Madalyn, but Madalyn was sobbing while covering her mouth. Jensen¡¯s jaw muscles twitched as if he was suppressing his emotions. Heughed at Madalyn, ¡°How am I a phony?¡± His cold and gloomyugh took Kisa by surprise. Madalyn stared at him with red eyes, ¡°I thought you treasured brotherhood as you were always so protective of Gilbert. It turns out you¡¯re just like your father. You loved and helped each other on the outside, but on the inside, you were praying for his death.¡± Kisa went speechless from the shock. She felt there must be some misunderstandings, but she did not know how to ask. Jensen remained silent. His eyes fixated on Madalyn. Madalyn cried at Jensen in despair and disappointment with a hateful look on her face. ¡°I was really touched that day when you braved the storm and went out looking for Gilbert. I felt guilty for days, thinking I¡¯ll treat you better once you return and that I¡¯ll make up for all these years I¡¯ve owed you. I even prayed for your safety and was more concerned about you than Gilbert. But it turned out that you never searched for him. It was all but a sick scheme. ¡°Jensen, don¡¯t fake it if you can¡¯t treat Gilbert as your brother. You¡¯re rotten to the core. You can¡¯t be better, and you¡¯re incorrigible. You¡¯re just a wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing. You are ungrateful and greedy. Y¨C You! Just get lost!¡± Jensen quietly listened to Madalyn¡¯s storm of abuse without refuting her. Kisa grabbed his arms and felt how tense he was from holding back his emotions. Kisa could not stand it and questioned Madalyn, ¡°What happened? Jensen isn¡¯t that kind of person.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 638 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 638 Chapter 638 You Are Cursed ¡°Mrs. Kooper, don¡¯t let his appearance fool you,¡± Davian ran down in a rush. In the past, Davian always looked at Jensen with respect, as Jensen was once the elder son of the Kooper family. However, Davian was now full of hostility toward him. The inexplicable enmity made Kisa even more mystified and uneasy. She queried Davian, ¡°What happened? Can you guys make it clear? Besides that, where is Gilbert?¡± ¡°M¨CMr. Kooper¡­He¡¯s not going to make it. And it¡¯s all because of him,¡± Davian¡¯s eyes were wet, pointing at Jensen with resentment. Kisa was shocked. ¡°G¨CGilbert¡­ He¡¯s really dying?¡± Madalyn once again burst into tears on the side. Davian choked as he spoke, ¡°As you know, Mr. Kooper ate a poisonous fruit. No matter how we tried, we could not identify the toxin; We couldn¡¯t simply use any kind of medication on him either. ¡°Kevin said that as long as he had the fruit for testing, Mr. Kooper could be saved. Ae called Mister Jensen just for that, but he didn¡¯t answer the phone. Ultimately, we had no choice but to send Mister Jensen a message, asking him to send someone immediately to collect the fruit and deliver it to us. ¡°No one knew that Mister Jensen would refuse the request, saying that the mountains were dangerous and an avnche could happen at any time, saying he would pick the fruit once the weather improved. Mrs. Kooper Sr. got so angry she ceased pleading with him and ordered everyone in the house to search for the fruit in the mountains. Kisa finally understood why no one answered the phone call in the house. All the servants were sent out. Davian¡¯s face turned dark with hatred, ¡°Unfortunately, there was an avnche the day the servants searched for the fruit. Luckily no one was injured. It¡¯s nearly impossible to find the fruit now since an avnche happened, and many caves copsed. It¡¯s all thanks to him!¡± Davian spoke and pointed at Jensen deplorably again, ¡°If only he went to search for the fruit, we wouldn¡¯t have encountered the avnche. Mr. Kooper clearly could be saved. It¡¯s all his fault! He killed Mr. Kooper.¡± Kisa could not bear to hear the word ¡°kill¡°. She panicked, ¡°How is Gilbert now? Where¡¯s Kelvin? I need to find Kelvin.¡± Kisa ran up the stairs but was forcefully dragged down by Madalyn. Madalyn was already eighty¨Cyear¨Cold, but judging by the force she used to drag Kisa, it shows how intense the hatred in her heart was. Kisa stumbled down the stairs but did not fall as Jensen supported her body in time. Madalyn pointed at her and yelled, ¡°You are a menace. If it weren¡¯t for you, Gilbert wouldn¡¯t be like this. You are cursed. You will kill everyone around you. And now you¡¯re here to harm my grandson. Leave! Go on, get lost!¡± In the end, Madalyn bellowed at the top of her voice. She then pulled Davian, ¡°Get these sick couples out of my house, get them out of here!¡± ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Davian looked at Jensen and Kisa with hatred, ¡°Just leave, don¡¯t act like you care, and stop angering Mrs. Kooper Sr. any further.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. One of you is like a poisonous snake, while the other is an ingrate and a hypocrite. Woah, you¡¯re indeed a perfect match,¡± Sharon, that just arrived, coldly mocked Kisa and Jensen. Jensen did not exin himself, but his face darkened. Kisa did not waste time finding out the truth. She only wanted to save Gilbert at the moment. She informed Davian, ¡°Take me to Kelvin. I have the fruit. I took the fruit with me.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 639 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 639 Chapter 639 I Trust You With My Life Davian was stunned and asked with disbelief, ¡°You really have the fruit?¡± Kisa quickly nodded and took out the red fruit from her pocket. Once Davian saw the fruit, he hurriedly pulled Kisa up to find Kelvin. But Madalyn blocked her again. ¡°What game are you ying now? Gilbert is already like this, yet you won¡¯t let him go? How did you manage to get the fruit when the caves copsed? You¡¯re wrong if you think I will trust you by picking some random fruit outside. Get out of my house!¡± Madalyn¡¯s hatred toward Kisa only grew, and she refused to let her go up any further. Davian urged, ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., please be reasonable. With Mr. Kooper in this state, she had no reason to bring fake fruits to us, right? No matter what she is here for, let Kelvin try first. It¡¯s better than letting Mr. Kooper die.¡± Regardless of what Davian had said, Madalyn still dug her heels in. ¡°If they really wanted to save Gilbert, they could have sent us the fruit ages ago. Why wait until now? I would never let them near Gilbert. They will only harm my grandson and take his life away.¡± Kisa got anxious as she watched Madalyn¡¯s stubbornness. She handed the fruit to Davian, Quick, go find Kelvin.¡± ¡± Davian agreed and ran up the stairs, ignoring Madalyn. Kisa fretted, wringing her hands.¡® From how Madalyn and Davian reacted, Gilbert¡¯s situation seemed bad. Let¡¯s hope that I sent the fruit just in time.¡®This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Madalyn did not allow them to go upstairs or get near Gilbert. In the end, Jensen and Kisa waited in the courtyard outside. Jensen leaned on a tree, quietly smoking. He was in a bad mood. Kisa had not seen such a dark expression on him before. Biting her lips, she walked toward him. ¡°Madalyn must have misunderstood something. You should exin to her once she has calmed down.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing to exin,¡± Jensen responded dryly, his tone t. Kisa knotted her brows in disagreement, ¡°Why don¡¯t you exin? Do you feel good when everyone misunderstands you?¡± ¡°Ha.¡± Jensen suddenlyughed in self¨Cdeprecation. He looked at her, his gaze not as gentle as usual and showing a hint of irony. ¡°How would you know¡­ that it¡¯s a misunderstanding?¡± ¡°I believed you¡¯re not that kind of person. You won¡¯t leave Gilbert in the lurch. I trust you with my life.¡± Jensen felt his heart overflowing with pain rather than joy when he looked into Kisa¡¯s trusting eyes. He snorted with a hint of cruelty, ¡°You trust people too easily. Let me tell you, that wasn¡¯t a misunderstanding.¡± The cold wind blew, sending shivers down Kisa¡¯s spine. Kisa¡¯s eyes went wide as she stared at the man in front of her. The once gentleman changed in a split second. He was smoking. The smoke lingering between them made Kisa unable to gauge him. ¡°I have no idea why you are referring to yourself that way. Kisa felt sad looking at him like this, ¡°I believe you. You¡¯re not the cold¨Chearted person Davian and Madalyn said you were. You won¡¯t see Gilbert die without doing anything.¡± ¡°Hah¡­¡± Jensen lowered his eyes and grinned coldly. ¡°Kisa, why would you trust me?¡± Kisa nibbled on her bottom lip, unable to provide a reason. She did not know if it were because of the admiration in her youth or her dependence on him now. In her eyes, Jensen was the best, even better than Gilbert. So she could not believe Davian and Madalyn when they talked about him like this. Jensen rose to his feet as he finished his cigarette. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 640 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 640 Chapter 640 Don¡¯t Trust Me Too Much Jensen patted Kisa on the shoulder and said lowly, ¡°Don¡¯t trust me too much.¡± Then, he turned around and walked out without looking back. Kisa gazed at his retreating figure. She did not know if the inexplicable sadness lingering within was because of the biting wind or something else. Up till nightfall, there was still no news about Gilbert. Kisa wanted to go inside and check on him. However, Sharon stood by the door like a guard dog and did not allow Kisa to step foot into the Kooper residence. ¡®If Sharon were the only person here, I could still handle her. But even George is here to stop me from entering the door. Since George has been with the Kooper family for a while now and has been good to me previously, I can¡¯t challenge him head¨Con,¡® she thought. Kisa felt anxious. She immediately asked George, ¡°How¡¯s Gilbert?¡± ¡°Mr. Hoover is still treating the young master. As for its oue, none of us know how it¡¯s going. Mrs. Kooper Sr. is about to cry her eyes out, so please, Ms. Becker, don¡¯t provoke her.¡± George spoke in a distant and cold tone. Kisa lowered her gaze, ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t go in.¡± ¡®It seems like Gilbert¡¯s situation doesn¡¯t look good,¡® she thought. Perhaps it was because she had stood in the courtyard for too long and had gotten a cold from the chilly breeze, or maybe it was because she had not eaten the entire day; Kisa¡¯s legs were a little wobbly. Lea held her and said, ¡°Let¡¯s wait in the car.¡± Even though Jensen had left, his car was still there. Even his car keys were still in the ignition. After the two entered the car, the biting wind was promptly blocked out. Through the car window, Kisa peered at the Kooper residence¡¯s brightly lit entrance and felt tears well up in her eyes. She felt so awful she wanted to cry. ¡®I used to hate Gilbert to the bone, so much that I wanted to take revenge on him even in my dreams. Yet, I feel so awful now that he¡¯s at death¡¯s door. Maybe it¡¯s like what Jensen said; the hate that I speak of is merely self¨Cdeception,¡® thought Kisa. Lea peered at Kisa¡¯s side profile. She contemted for a while before finally mustering the courage, ¡°Kisa, did I do something wrong? You¡¯ve been extra distant ever since you regained consciousness.¡± Kisa turned to face her. The woman in front of her had a cautious and slightly wronged expression. Kisa pursed her lips; she did not know how to bring up the topic. The atmosphere in the car was suffocatingly quiet. Lea asked softly, ¡°Are you still mad at me for throwing out the fruits?¡± ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Kisa shook her head. ¡°There¡¯s no reason to me you since we found ¡°But you didn¡¯t treat me this way before this. What happened, Kisa?¡± ¡°Lea¡­¡± Kisa suddenly turned to Lea with a serious expression, ¡°That day, when we went to see the snow, I got attacked by Emma and rolled down the slope.¡± Lea nodded. ¡°I know. I¡¯ve heard of it.¡± Kisa quietly lowered her gaze. ¡°Heard of it from whom?¡± she asked softly. Lea¡¯s expression changed slightly, ¡°From¡­ From Mr. Kooper.¡± Kisa wanted to smile, but she could not. Instead, a bitter smile formed on her lips. Ever since she had regained consciousness, she had not told Jensen about the incident of Emma attacking her. Nobody other than Emma, Gilbert, and myself knows about Emma shoving me down the slope. Moreover, Gilbert fainted after he carried me back to the resort. Then, he was brought back home by the Kooper family overnight. Everyone thinks that Gilbert and I were stuck in the mountains because we were met with an ident. ¡®How does Lea know that I was actually shoved down the slope by Emma?¡® wondered Kisa. She suppressed her emotions and said to Lea coolly, ¡°Then where were you when it happened? Did you know that I called out to you many times?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 641 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 641 Chapter 641 I Want to Give Her Another Chance Lea replied hurriedly, ¡°Emma had knocked me out. That woman was cruel enough to do such nasty things to us. After that, Mr. Kooper and Davian found me. Otherwise, I would¡¯ve frozen to death.¡± ¡®That¡¯s right, Lea almost froze to death in the snow. Jensen told me about it after the incident; that¡¯s why I thought I had wronged Lea at one point. But on second thoughts, there were footprints between the snow in front of me and the big tree even though Emma appeared behind me. If Mia had knocked out Lea behind the tree, how did Mia appear behind me? No matter how I look at it, there was someone else there other than me, Lea, and Emma. However, I can¡¯t figure out who the person is. If Lea is indeed lying to me, and assuming that she had purposefully suggested going to see the snow, what¡¯s her motive? Is she being threatened, or does she hold a grudge against me?¡® wondered Kisa. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. She looked at Lea, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m good to you?¡± Lea was startled for a moment. Then, she nodded. ¡°Of course. You¡¯re my best friend. You treat me even better than my own mother.¡± ¡®Well then, she must be threatened by someone,¡® thought Kisa. She turned to Lea and said lowly, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll definitely help you if you¡¯re faced with any difficulties, so you can tell me anything. Moreover, if you did anything wrong, you just have to be honest with me; I¡¯ll definitely forgive you.¡± ¡®I want to give her another chance, but¡­¡® Kisa thought. Lea smiled at her, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Kisa? Why are you saying weird things?¡± Kisa shook her head and did not say anything. Lea crossed her arms and smiled, ¡°I know you¡¯re always worried about me, but don¡¯t be. Ever since we became friends, all of my difficulties have gone away. Moreover, I¡¯d definitely be honest with you if I did something wrong because I know you wouldn¡¯t me me.¡± Kisa smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes. ¡®Lea is a friend that I don¡¯t want to lose; I¡¯ll always treat her as my best friend. That said, I also said that I won¡¯t give her a second chance to hurt me,¡® she thought. Kisa gently patted Lea¡¯s hand, ¡°You must be hungry after staying by my side for so long. Why don¡¯t you go back first?¡± Lea shook her head. ¡°I want to stay by your side.¡± Kisa felt bitter and did not know what to say. ¡®Lea¡¯s being genuine toward me no matter how I look at it. But why did she lie and betray me? Turns out, not only is love unfathomable, but even friendships are also perplexing and confusing,¡® she thought. While the two were snuggled up in the car, someone suddenly knocked on the car window. Kisa quickly sat up. She looked out the car window and saw George standing in front of the car. After she hurriedly opened the door, two tes of piping hot spaghetti came into sight. George¡¯s tone was still as icy as ever. ¡°Have some spaghetti. If you two starve to death here, you¡¯ll trouble the Kooper family again.¡± Kisa quickly epted the spaghetti. She handed one of the tes to Lea and held the other in her hand. The te warmed not only her hands but her heart too. Kisa felt tears well up in her eyes, and her vision of George grew a little blurry. In a choked voice, she asked, ¡°Is Gilbert¡¯s condition getting better yet?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± George remained sinct when it came to Gilbert¡¯s condition. Kisa pursed her lips and looked at the spaghetti in her hands, ¡°Thank you, George.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t thank me. I¡¯m just worried that you two will starve to death here. How awful! One more thing, even if you two continued waiting here, you won¡¯t get anything out of it, so it¡¯s better for you to leave.¡± Kisa lifted her head and looked upstairs. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 642 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 642 Chapter 642 Kicked Out By the Kooper Family Gilbert¡¯s room remained lit. Kisa badly wanted to go upstairs and see him. George nced at her and did not say anything more. Then, he turned around and entered the house. Sharon, who stood by the entrance, said something to George with an icy expression. Kisa could not hear what Sharon said, but she was sure it was not nice. Since Lea was starving, she quickly finished the entire bowl of spaghetti. Meanwhile, Kisa held the te of spaghetti and remained unmoved. She could not stomach anything without knowing about Gilbert¡¯s condition. She handed her spaghetti to Lea, ¡°You can have mine. I¡¯m not hungry.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do. You should at least have a little.¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t have the appetite,¡± Kisa said, shoving the te into Lea¡¯s hands. Lea sighed helplessly and did not respond. Meanwhile, Jensen returned to the resort in the middle of the night, reeking of alcohol. Mia was sitting in the living room waiting for him. When she saw him staggering into the house, she quickly went up to help him. ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you? Why¡¯d you drink this much?¡± Jensen could not even stand up straight. He was obviously drunk. Mia helped him to the couch to lie down. She could not help but feel shocked. ¡®Jensen has always had a sense of propriety, so he rarely drinks. Other than¡­ Other than the time he found out about Kisa getting married to Gilbert. What exactly happened today that made him drink this much?¡® she wondered. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g ¡°You must feel awful. Be good andy still. I¡¯ll go get you some water.¡± Jenseny on the couch with one arm over his eyes. He looked ready to vomit. Even though Mia spoke in a mean tone, she was very thoughtful and quickly returned with a ss of water. She struggled to sit the man up and held the ss to his lips, ¡°Have some water.¡± Jensen took a sip andid back down. Then, he ced his arm back to his eyes in silence. Mia stared at him, and her pent¨Cup frustration blew up, ¡°It must be because of that woman. Why won¡¯t you say something? What happened this time? Did the woman get back together with Gilbert, so you¡¯re feeling hurt?¡± However, no matter what she said, the man on the couch ignored her as if she were dead. At that moment, Adrien walked downstairs. Adrien had seen Jensen the moment he entered the house. He tugged his lips. There was a hint of mockery in his icy smile, ¡°Did you get kicked out by the Kooper family?¡± Jensen¡¯s figure froze when he heard Adrien¡¯s voice. Momentster, he sat up from the couch. He peered at Adrien through bloodshot eyes. His gaze was icy yet mingled with sadness and self¨C mockery. ¡°The Kooper family called me, and you didn¡¯t pick up? And you even deleted the call history? Adrien smiled and did not deny his allegations. ¡°Grandma texted me, and you replied to her for me?¡± Adrien still did not deny his allegations. Suddenly, Jensenughed. Hisugh was loud and sorrowful. Mia was frightened. She leaned over and held his hands tightly, ¡°Don¡¯t be like that, Jensen.¡± Jensen lowered his gaze and said to Adrien softly, ¡°Do you want Gilbert to die that badly?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t want him to die. If he died, how would the game go on?¡± Adrien said with a smile. Then, he took out a few red fruits from his pocket, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Kisa to have these fruits on her. I also did not expect her to dig through the trash this desperately to save Gilbert. It seems like I picked these fruits for nothing.¡± He casually threw the fruits into the trashcan. There was a hint of disdain in his calm expression. Jensen stood up and walked up to him, ¡°Then why did you use my phone to deceive grandma?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 643 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 643 Chapter 643 Wise Up, You Poor Thing ¡°Well, I did it for you.¡± Adrien looked at him with a frank expression. There was a hint of mockery in his smile, ¡°If I didn¡¯t do this, how would you know what you are to your grandmother? I¡¯ve already said this long ago: to her, only Gilbert is her grandchild. You¡¯re merely a dog she had adopted out of false goodwill. To her, you were a dog with many uses. Not only could you keep Gilbertpany, but you could protect him too. They could even order you around at their disposal and throw you out when they no longer need you. I can¡¯t believe you still care about them after all these years. Oh, Jensen, you just can¡¯t seem to see the truth.¡± Adrien puffed his cigarette. Through the cigarette smoke, his smiling face seemed incredibly mocking. Jensen tightened his fists and roared at him resentfully, ¡°Even so, what¡¯s it got to do with you? However they treat me, it¡¯s still better than how you treated me. Who are you to criticize them or mock me? You¡¯re even more heartlesspared to them.¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± Adrien promptly stood up and pped Jensen across his face as soon as he finished his sentence. Since Jensen was already drunk and wobbly on his feet, the impact of Adrien¡¯s p sent him flying to the ground. Mia shouted in terror and hurriedly went over to help him up. Adrien looked down at Jensen in disdain as if he were looking at trash. However, his gaze was mingled with an inexplicable sense of pity, ¡°Do you really think that you can be family with the Kooper family? Let me tell you this, it¡¯s impossible! You can¡¯t even imagine how heartless Mrs. Kooper Sr. is. I used your phone to mislead her so that you could see who she truly is. She¡¯s always plotting something and has only been genuine to her own son and grandchild. If you were the one who got poisoned and on your deathbed, and Gilbert were the one who refused to pick fruits, do you think he would curse at Gilbert the way she did? Hah. No, she wouldn¡¯t. She¡¯d just watch you die. She would never ask her grandchild to risk his life to pick the fruit in the mountains, so wise up, you poor thing.¡± ¡°Stop it,¡± Mia hugged Jensen tightly. She pleaded to Adrien through tears, ¡°I¡¯m begging you to stop. Your words are no different from torturing him slowly. Do you really feel happy seeing him in pain?¡± Adrien¡¯s expression was cold with a hint of cruelness. He sneered, ¡°If I don¡¯t say such things, he¡¯ll never realize the truth.¡± Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Jensen struggled to stand up. He had blood at the corner of his mouth and looked disheveled but also dejected. He stumbled to face Adrien andughed continuously, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to thank you for helping me see the truth.¡± Adrien narrowed his sharp eyes. He held a cigarette with two fingers and pointed it at Jensen¡¯s cor. ¡°You can hate me as much as you like. However, if you dare to expose my true identity or betray me, then don¡¯t ever think of seeing ke ever again,¡± he said threateningly. After Jensenughed sorrowfully, he calmed down. He replied coolly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll go along with your n.¡± Adrien patted Jensen¡¯s shoulder with a satisfied look. ¡°That¡¯s what I¡¯m talking about. To tell you the truth, what I¡¯m doing is partly for you.¡± Jensen revealed a self¨Cmocking smile and did not respond. He swatted Adrien¡¯s hand away before turning around and stumbling toward the stairs. Seeing his actions, Mia quickly ran over to help him. Adrien stared at his back and felt an inexplicable sense of frustration. He sat on the couch and leaned back. Then, he gently closed his eyes. A hint of sorrow gradually appeared on his face that had experienced the unpredictability of life. Suddenly, Peter came running down the stairs. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 644 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 644 Chapter 644 You Got Beaten Up? ¡°I could hear you all arguing from upstairs. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Peter peered at the bruise on Jensen¡¯s face and the blood by the corner of his lips. ¡°You got beaten up?¡± he asked in surprise. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. After he spoke, he realized that he had asked something stupid. Jensen nced at him icily and did not respond. Then he walked past him and went upstairs. Peter was confused. ¡®Jensen¡¯s being so hostile for no reason. I don¡¯t think I did anything to him?¡¯ he thought. ¡°Peter,e y chess with me.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Coming.¡± ¡°Have you got someone to send Jolina back yet?¡± ¡°Mhm, she¡¯s still in college.¡± ¡°You like her, but she doesn¡¯t like you, right?¡± ¡°Mhm.¡± ¡°Ho ho. What¡¯s the matter? If you like her, go for it. While there¡¯s the saying that nothing forcibly done will be agreeable, isn¡¯t it worse to do nothing at all?¡± Jensen stood at the corner of the staircase while gripping the railing tightly. He stared darkly at the amiable smile on Adrien¡¯s face. Then, a sardonic smile gradually formed on his lips. He mumbled, ¡°I always thought he was heartless, emotionless, and cold¨Cblooded. Turns out, he can be a nice person too.¡± Mia hugged his arm sadly and tried to console him, ¡°Maybe he was strict and heartless to you because he wanted you to get stronger.¡± Jensen shook his head in a self¨Cmocking manner. ¡®That¡¯s not why. I know the real reason behind his actions,¡® Jensen thought. It had snowed against night. Kisa opened her eyes to a white snow¨Ccovered ground. It was beautiful but also freezing. Under the sunshine, the icicles on the dried branches appeared crystal clear. It was tempting for one to want to pick off the icicles. Kisa moved her stiff, aching legs. Then, she pulled her chair and sat up. She fell asleep in the carst night. Now that she had woken up, it was only seven o¡¯clock in the morning. She turned to her side and saw Lea still asleep without anything covering her. She pursed her lips and shifted her nket onto Lea¡¯s body. Then, she quietly got out of the car. The temperatures in and outside of the car were starkly different. The moment Kisa left the car, she shivered from the cold. After moving around and rubbing her hands for a while, she finally got a little used to the temperature. The door of the Kooper residence was closed. She slowly walked over. Then, she sat on the rattan chair in front of the door. Even though there was an umbre, some snow had fallen onto the rattan chair and made it damp. Kisa sat down and felt even colder. Out of reflex, she wrapped her jacket around herself tighter. She quietly waited until eight o¡¯clock. However, the door of the Kooper residence remained closed. She reached into her pocket and took out her phone. After searching for a contact, she hesitated for a moment before calling Kelvin. The phone rang for a while, but no one picked up. She lowered her gaze before shutting off her phone and throwing it aside. Then, she leaned into the chair and continued waiting. The sun was shining brightly today. However, Kisa still did not feel warm and shivered from the cold. Just as she was contemting if she should wait in the car, the door of the Kooper residence promptly opened. George was standing at the door. Kisa immediately stood up and turned to George, ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± ¡°Mr. Hoover is still doing a toxin test. Please go home, Ms. Becker. There¡¯s no point in waiting any longer. After all, Mrs. Kooper won¡¯t let you see the young master.¡± Kisa lowered her gaze, ¡°I understand. I just wanted to know if Gilbert is safe and sound.¡± ¡°Go home. I will get Davian to inform you if the young master regains consciousness safely. ¡°¡­alright,¡± Kisa nodded before slowly trudging toward the car. Her entire body felt awful; even her ankle was aching badly. She truly was not in shape to continue waiting there. When Kisa got into the car, Lea coincidentally woke up. Lea rubbed her eyes and said groggily, ¡®How¡¯s Mr. Kooper?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°Let¡¯s go back first.¡± Lea was stunned, ¡°You¡¯re not going to wait for Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°Nope.¡± ¡®It¡¯s not like I can see him,¡® Kisa thought. Lea nced at Kisa¡¯s expression and did not dare to say another word. She moved her legs around before sitting upright. Then, she started the car. Meanwhile, Gilbert was in his room and coughed out more blood. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 645 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 645 Chapter 645 Dark Shadow The blood was maroon in color, which made Madalyn palpitate from seeing it. She quickly asked Kelvin,¡± How is it?¡± Kelvin scrunched his brows with a severe expression,¡± The situation is very challenging.¡± Madalyn had both her eyes rolled back and fell to the ground. Davian immediately held onto her. Madalyn forcefully held onto her spirits and scolded in pain,¡± I knew it. That wench never had good intentions. The fruits are fake, fake¡­ My Gilbert is hurt by all of them. Waah, waah¡­¡± Kelvin had not shut his eyes for a few days and nights. Stubble was growing on his chin, and his face was haggard. Hearing Madalyn scream and cry, he felt annoyed deep down at that point. He gave Gilbert a check¨Cup while talking to Davian, ¡± You help Madan Kooper Sr. out. If something happens, I¡¯ll call you.¡± Davian nodded his head and hastily pulled Madalyn outside. Once they opened the door, they saw Sharon by the doorway suspiciously, looking like a burr. Madalyn saw Sharon, and her expression was not good. She shouted sharply, ¡°Who let youe up here?¡± ¡°I¡­ I just came to have a look at Gilbert.¡± ¡°Go downstairs. You¡¯re not allowed to be near my grandson.¡± Sharon was angry in her heart but did not dare defy openly. She seemed to have better treatment than Kisa and could stay in the Kooper residence. However, the old woman still would not allow her to get half a step closer to Gilbert. When you think about it, she and Kisa were about the same. It was so infuriating! Scared of Madalyn¡¯s cold, cruel aura, Sharon could only go downstairs resentfully. In the room, Kelvin gave Gilbert another syringe of medication. Gilbert vomited two mouthfuls of blood continuously. The blood was not as dark as before but still looked different from regr blood. Kelvin wiped Gilbert¡¯s leftover blood from the corner of his lips. He was about to get up to prepare and examine the fruit. Gilbert suddenly held onto his arm. Kelvin was shocked and yelled out in delight, ¡°Gilbert?¡± But Gilbert still did not open his eyes and merely mumbled something while disoriented. Kelvin stuck his ear closer in confusion. ¡°Kisa¡­ Kisa¡­¡± It was all about that woman¡¯s name. Kelvin sighed helplessly. ¡®This man is genuinely¡­ He is about to die himself and was still thinking about that woman. wholeheartedly,¡¯ Kelvin thought. ¡°Rx, she¡¯s doing so much better than you,¡± he said to Gilbert. It was unknown if Gilbert heard it or not. As Kelvin finished speaking, the man on the bed was entirely down. He gave Gilbert another examination. His furrowed brows rxed slightly. It seems that the medications from before worked. He straightened his body and raised his legs to walk toward the window. He lifted the curtains. The car downstairs was slowly driving away. He could not help but feel a little rage, This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. ¡®This Kisa is really heartless. This was only a while, and she had already left. Not a shred of patience at all. How fortunate that Gilbert still thought about her when he was about to die, so not worth it. Tsk, so very not worth it!¡® Kelvin thought. Lea was exhausted to the bone after staying over at the Kooper residence for the night. She sent Kisa back to her ce and went home herself. Kisa stumbled into the elevator. Her whole body was sore. Her head was spinning and throbbing, with her throating hurting too. She was dizzy and fumbled to reach the front of her door. She could not help but nce at the door behind her when opening the door. The door was shut tight, just like the day they went for a holiday. It seems Jensen had yet to return. Remembering Jensen¡¯s silhouette yesterday when he left, her heart could not help but feel sad. She shook her head and twisted the keys in her hands. The door then opened. The house was empty and seemed even colder in the cold winter weather. She first went to take a shower. After her shower, her spirits were still not up, and she felt more dizzy and tired. Suspecting that she had a fever, she measured her body temperature. It was indeed 39 degrees. Finding the fever¨Creducing medication and anti¨Cinmmatory medicine, she took a single pill from each, then crawled into her bed to sleep. For that rest, she slept very deeply. When she woke up, the whole house was dark. She seemed nk for quite some time, then slowly got used to the room¡¯s darkness. She suddenly discovered a figure standing by her bed. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 646 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 646 Chapter 646 I¡¯m Going to Go Now ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. She was startled and instinctively opened her mouth to scream, but no sound woulde out. What was more horrifying was that she discovered that she could not move at all. ¡®What is happening?¡® she thought. She stared at the shadow by the bed fearfully. She tried to move her fingers. However, her whole body was restrained by a mysterious force. She could not move at all. Suddenly, that shadow bent down slowly. Kisa could not see his face but could feel his breath touch her face. It was so cold. ¡°Kisa¡­¡± The shadow suddenly said. Its tone was gentle, but it seemed to be Gilbert¡¯s voice. Her heart trembled. Could the dark shadow be Gilbert? Yet Gilbert had never used such a gentle tone to call her ¡°Kisa¡± before. She wanted to ask him if he was Gilbert, but however she tried to scream and shout, not a single sound woulde out. It was as if she was utterly shackled. She could not do a thing and only stared at the dark figure before her in horror and confusion. The shadow seemed to mean no harm to her and only stared at her closely. Although Kisa could not see his face clearly, she could still see his glinting ck irises. ¡°Kisa¡­¡± He called for her again. The deep and gentle voice had a hint of unspeakable sadness to it. ¡°I¡¯m going to go now,¡± he said, ¡°You need to take good care of yourself. Don¡¯t live your life in hatred again.¡± A surge of sadness emerged in Kisa¡¯s heart suddenly. The sadness also had a bitter and deste feeling that filled her heart to the brim. She wanted to say don¡¯t go. Her lips would not stop opening and closing, but she could not force out any sound. The shadow slowly retreated from her and moved toward the door. She wanted to grab him but was to no avail. Tears would not stop dropping down. She could only watch with open eyes as the shadow moved further and further and further away until it could not be seen. Grief and pain filled her chest. She could not stop the tears from flowing as they did not stop dripping. She felt as if she had lost something very, very important to her. Suddenly, a white light shed before her, blinding her to the point of not being able to open her eyes. Abruptly, she could move her body again. She shrieked and sat up. The room was still bright as day. There were even voices of people talking coming in from outside the window. Instead, the darkness and the dark figure from before seemed like a dream. She lifted her hands to wipe her face and got a hand full of tears. Even though it was a dream, she still cried. She cried so sorrowfully and vulnerably¡­ Thinking about the dream now, her heart still had a dull ache inside. There was even a shred of desperation and helplessness. She hugged her knees and tried recollecting the dark figure in her dream. ¡®Could that dark shadow be Gilbert? What did it mean that he was going to leave?¡® Kisa thought. Remembering that Gilbert¡¯s fate was still unknown, she felt a chill all over her body. She quickly found her phone and gave Davian a phone call. However, Davian did not pick up. Kisa could not wait, so she searched for Kelvin¡¯s phone number. Before this, she would still be a little peeved and afraid that Kelvin was still giving Gilbert treatment. She was worried that if she called over, it would disturb him. Yet right now, she was anxious beyond belief. She merely wanted to know the results as soon as possible. The phone call was dialed through. Kisa restlessly waited for a few seconds. Someone from the other end unexpectedly picked up. ¡°Kelvin?¡± Kisa hastily asked. ¡°Mm,¡± he repliedzily. It was apparent that he did not want to speak to Kisa. Kisa did not ramble and asked openly and truthfully, ¡°How is Gilbert?¡® ¡°Heh, you would be worried about him? Then I¡¯ll tell you. He is about to die. You can quickly go and light some fireworks to celebrate. Hurry now.¡± After saying this, Kelvin hung up the phone. He threw the phone to the side and held a bowl of pasta in front of him before wolfing them down, David was holding onto the second bowl of pasta when walking in. He heard Kelvin answering the phone that way and could not help but ask, ¡°Who called in?¡® ¡°Slurp!¡± Kelvin slurped up a mouthful of pasta noodles and spoke dubiously, ¡®Who else could it be? It¡¯s Kisa Becker.¡± ¡°What!?¡± Chapter 647 Chapter 647 Chapter 647 Couldn¡¯t Your Table Manners Be Better Davian furrowed his brows in disguise, ¡°Anyhow, you are of noble breed. Couldn¡¯t your table manners be better?¡± ¡°I have not eaten a single meal for a few freaking days. I¡¯m almost starving to death. There¡¯s no point in emphasizing etiquette,¡± Kelvin finished speaking. He did not forget to stare at the noodles in Davian¡¯s hand and clicked his tongue, ¡°Aren¡¯t you having your second bowl? It¡¯s such a big serving.¡± Davian did not want to argue with him. He sat across him, confused, ¡°Why did you talk to Ms. Kisa like that just now? She was actually worried for Mr. Kooper. If you told her that, wouldn¡¯t she worried to death?¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine. If Kisa was truly worried for Gilbert, she wouldn¡¯t have left in such a hurry. Don¡¯t just see that she has been staying here for a night. From what I see, it¡¯s just for show. You didn¡¯t see it. She was so eager to leave yesterday once dawn came. Tsk tsk, how unfortunate for Gilbert to still call her name when he is still unconscious. If it was based on my opinion, this type of woman would have no conscience. Making her worry a bit would be nice. ¡°Davian slurped a mouth of noodles and rolled his eyes at Kelvin, ¡°You already said that she has no conscience. If you told her that Mr. Kooper is about to die, then she would likely not be worried, yes?¡± Kelvin was speechless, ¡°¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s odd. Why did Ms. Kisa not call me to ask this? George even told me to inform Ms. Kisa about Gilbert¡¯s condition just now. I was so busy eating my noodles I actually forgot about this. You instead did so great and directly told her that Mr. Kooper was about to die. Now you have troubled me into having to exin once more to her. Oh my goodness,¡± Davian felt especially disdain for Kelvin. Kelvin grunted out loud. He gestured at the phone he threw at the table with his chin, ¡°Your phone just rang. Who knows if it was her that called.¡± ¡°Really?¡± David hurriedly picked up the phone to check,¡± It really was her who called in. She must be distraught for Mr. Kooper.¡± After saying this, he couldn¡¯t resist rolling his eyes again at Kelvin, ¡°Honestly, you didn¡¯t even care to help me pick it up. Just saying that Mr. Kooper is fine would have been great. Instead, you went ahead to lie to her.¡± ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. ¡°So what if I lied to her? Seeing Gilbert cling his whole heart to her, she did not even wait till Gilbert¡¯s survival was confirmed to leave so eagerly. I¡¯m mad about it. I don¡¯t care. I want to make her worry first. I¡¯m telling you, you¡¯re not allowed to tell her Mr. Kooper is fine. Make her worry for a few days first.¡± ¡°Fine, fine, I¡¯m toozy to be bothered by you. If something happens on Kisa¡¯s end due to the worry, you¡¯re responsible for it, ¡°Davian said and wolfed down his pasta. Kelvin grunted in disdain, ¡°Women like her are the type with no conscience. What kind of thing would happen from her worries?¡± Even though he said so, he was still a little worried deep in his heart. but he still could not stand it. ¡°Sigh, never mind. When there is spare time tomorrow, I¡¯ll inform Kisa clearly about Gilbert¡¯s condition.¡± On the other side, Kisa stared nkly at the dimmed phone screen for almost 3 minutes. Then only she slowly put the phone down. The calmness on her face was a little abnormal. The nightmare just now made her break into a cold sweat. Now, her soaked clothes were sticking to her body. They were damp and ufortable. However, it might have been from sweating. Her fever had unexpectedly died down. She flipped her nket over and got out of bed. Her footsteps were weak and light. She held onto the cab on the side for a while. She then took some clothes to change and walked toward the bathroom. As the hot water was turned on, Kisa stood under the showerhead. She showered under the warm water. At the same time, her muscles throughout her body rxed. She thought of Kelvin¡¯s words, saying, ¡®He¡¯s about to die again.¡± The corner of her lips could not help but twitch upwards. Kelvin was just like his usual self, hating the evil with all his passion that he did not even know how to lie. She stood in the bathroom for quite some time. Then she only walked out after being fully clothed. After showering, she felt her whole body was much more pleasant, and her mind was clearer. She was only hungry, almost starving. Just as she opened the door to prepare something to eat, she heard a surge of noise from the kitchen. Chapter 648 Chapter 648 Chapter 648 Won¡¯t Give Anyone the Wrong Idea She was stunned. Who would appear in her kitchen? Lea? Jensen? But wasn¡¯t Jensen not back yet? Besides, Lea had returned the keys to the house earlier. With a heart full of doubt, she walked toward the direction of the kitchen. She was not worried that a burr or other criminal would enter in broad daylight. She walked to the entrance of the kitchen. She then looked into the kitchen directly. From a single nce, she saw Jensen in an apron. ¡°You¡­¡± Seeing Jensen, she would always think of his silhouette on the day he left. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. It was particrly bleak and exceptionally determined. Thinking about it would make anyone feel sad. Jensen was making food. Hearing her voice, he could not help but turn his head and nce at her once. His handsome face had a gentle, light smile. Kisa stared at him in shock. He had returned to his usual gentle temperament. As if that day was merely an illusion to her. She slowly walked toward her, ¡°You came back.¡± ¡°I called you yesterday. You didn¡¯t pick up. I gave you a few calls, but there was no response. I was worried deep down, so I came in, ¡± as Jensen mixed the soup in the pot. He did not even raise his head to speak with her, ¡°After entering, I found out you had a fever. You were disoriented from sleeping on the bed. You would not wake whichever way I called. I ground the fever medicine and fed it to you while mixing it with water. I also wiped your body with cool water. How do you feel now?¡± He said it so brazenly, so it would not give anyone the wrong idea. Kisa nodded her head, ¡°I feel much better. There should be no fever now.¡± Upon saying this, she looked outside. It was mid¨Cnoon now. The sunlight was particrly lovely. It lit up the whole house brightly, and the scene seemed full of life. She asked Jensen, ¡°: You came back, but what about Mia and ke?¡± ¡°They¡¯re in my house. I was worried that they would disturb your rest, so I didn¡¯t let theme over,¡°: Jensen said as he poured her a bowl of soup. He then gave a few appetizers for her. He brought the soup and appetizers out and said to her, ¡°You¡¯re awake now. You should eat something first; we can go over to visit them once you¡¯re done.¡± Kisa nodded her head and followed him to the front of the dining table. Jensenid down the soup and appetizer. He turned around and looked at her fumbling legs before saying, ¡± You still have to get treatment.¡± ¡°Even with more treatment, it would still look like this, Kisa said, not caring,¡± Since it¡¯s about to be New Year, I¡¯ll stay in the house properly. Apply my medication every day. I believe by then, this leg will slowly heal up.¡± Jensen heard this and did not say anything more. He only sat down nted on the chair by the side. Kisa saw the soup and other food on the table, which made her even more hungry. She eagerly took two bites of the food and shockingly found out Jensen had no utensils in front of him. She could not help but ask, ¡°Are you going to eat or not?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve eaten,¡± Jensen chuckled lightly. Kisa steadily looked at the light smile on his face. She did not know if it was a misperception, but she felt that the man before her seemed to have changed somewhere. As for where he had changed, she could not say it at the moment. ¡°You should eat slowly. There is more in the pot,¡± Jensen suddenly said to her. Then, he stood up and walked to the front of the window in the living room. He lit a cigarette and then looked out the window while smoking in silence. His figure was huge, and his silhouette was tall. He usually had a mild temperament. Jensen today had a hint of loneliness and bleakness surrounding him instead. It would make anyone who saw not resist the urge to feel pity for him. She swallowed her mouthful of soup and could not resist the urge to ask, ¡°That day¡­ Madalyn misunderstood your thing. Did you exin to her clearly or not?¡± Chapter 649 Chapter 649 Chapter 649 She Died, Died at the Resort ¡°There is nothing to exin; just let it be,¡± Jensen did not turn his head and spoke casually. Kisa always felt that he was spiteful. As for who he was spiteful to, she was not sure as well. She put down her spoon and stood up to walk two steps toward him. She told him, ¡°I think this issue requires you to exin to Madam Kooper Sr. clearly. You all are family. After all, having a misunderstanding is not good.¡± ¡®Family?¡® He thought. Jensen smiled lightly and did not say a word. He only believed that these single words sounded so hrious. Kisa secretly analyzed a bit and spoke, ¡± It was obvious that someone took your phone at that time. Then impersonated you to send Madalyn that kind of message. As for who the person was, you should think hard. Who ultimately had beef with you and could easily reach your cell phone?¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Jensen abruptly growled at her. Kisa was stunned for a moment, then asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jensen turned around to look at her. His face had no expression, ¡°Just let this matter go. I don¡¯t want to talk about it again.¡± Kisa drooped her head and pursed her lips. She did not say anything anymore and only returned to her seat before the dining table to drink her soup. Based on his reaction, she was almost sure he knew who had taken his phone to impersonate him and send Madalyn that kind of message. He did not want to say it and did not want to pursue this matter. In that case, she had even less right to meddle in this matter. It was unknown if it was Jensen¡¯s cooking that was incredible or if she was too hungry. Even the clear soup and appetizer seemed to look delicious. She quickly finished a bowl of soup and was about to take the empty bowl to the kitchen to get some more when Jensen suddenly grabbed the bowl from her hand. ¡°You sit down. I¡¯ll go pour it for you.¡± As the sentence ended, he walked with significant strides into the kitchen. Kisa could not even stop him in time if she wanted. Jensen swiftly poured a bowl of soup for her. The bowl was filled to the brim as if afraid that she would not have enough to eat. He put the soup in front of her and casually asked, ¡® How¡¯s Gilbert doing?¡± ¡°Should be fine,¡± Kisa replied casually. Jensen nced at her in shock, ¡± You¡¯re not worried for him?¡± ¡°Not worried!¡± Kisa focused on eating her soup. She was distraught from the start, but since Kelvin used that tone to tell her that specific sentence, she was no longer worried. Jensen gave her a glimpse while the corner of his lips twitched into a fake smile, ¡± You seemed to be laidback. They would say you had no conscience.¡± ¡°No matter,¡± Kisa smiled at her and did not forget to praise him a bit, ¡°The soup you made today was delicious. ¡°You can eat some more if you like it.¡± It was nighttime at the Kooper residence when Gilbert had regained consciousness entirely. A group of people surrounded the bedside, but without the sole person, he wanted to see. His face was pale. He opened his eyes slightly and scanned the room for some time. His line of sight landed on Davian¡¯s figure in the end. He raised his arm with much effort and waved at Davian. Davian quickly said, ¡± Mr. Kooper, you have something to ask of me?¡± ¡°Where is Kisa?¡± He opened his mouth to ask. Madalyn, who was by the side, was initially delighted to see him awaken. However, when she heard his first question to be about that woman, the anger in her heart all came welling up. ¡°Why do you want to ask for that fiend? If it was not for her, you would not have to suffer so much pain.¡± Gilbert disregarded Madalyn, and his eyes stared deeply at Davian. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Although he was weak, his gaze¡¯s aggressive aura could still intimidate everyone. Davian hurriedly said, ¡± Mr. Kooper, you can be assured that Ms. Kisa¡­¡± ¡°She died, died at the resort,¡± Davian could not finish speaking before Madalyn immediately grunted the words out in anger. Chapter 650 Chapter 650 Chapter 650 He Could Not Lose Her Again Gilbert scrunched his brows and sat up abruptly. However, due to the weakness in his body, his whole frame fell back heavily. Even the syringe on the back of his hand had identally fallen out. Davian quickly held onto him and looked at Madalyn in frustration. Madalyn repeatedly mmed her cane in a fury, ¡°Sinful, truly sinful. My dear grandson will one day be tortured to death by that wench.¡± Gilbert pulled at Davian¡¯s arm and asked in a tense voice, ¡°What exactly happened to Kisa?¡± That day, he used every ounce of strength to carry Kisa on his back to walk to the border of the resort area. Until he saw Jensen, then did he pass entirely out as if out of any strength. When he woke up again, he was already back at the Kooper residence, but he had no idea what had happened, or if Kisa was even alive. When he passed out, he had many dreams. All his dreams were about that woman. He dreamed about her childhood days, with her happy and lively state. He dreamed about her as an adult, with her face showing that her mind was full of thoughts. Then, he also dreamed about her being beaten in prison and dreamed of her screaming in the jail cell. In the end, a vast, never¨Cending fire sparked in his dream. She would scream in pain in the huge fire. He wanted to save her but could not rush in anyway. He was worried and restless yet also helpless. He could only watch with open eyes as she was consumed by the massive fire. The dream was filled with sorrow and despair. That despair crushed Gilbert¡¯s chest and made him unable to breathe. He felt upset, he struggled, and in the end, he woke up. Then he realized that everything terrible that happened was merely a dream. Yet waking up and not seeing her, the sorrow and despair still did not dissipate. He held tightly to Davian¡¯s arm and desperately wanted to know her news. He could not lose her again. Davian nced at Madalyn and saw her angry ferocious expression. He was speechless. He could only evaluate deep in his heart if displeasing Madalyn was scarier or offending Mr. Kooper was more horrifying. After a lot of thought, he felt that going against Mr. Kooper was scarier since he was working for Mr. Kooper. Therefore, he immediately ignored Madalyn¡¯s somber expression and quickly told Gilbert, ¡± Mr. Kooper, you don¡¯t have to worry. Ms. Kisa is fine and has returned to her residence.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Gilbert said in a cold voice. Davian hurriedly nodded his head, ¡°It¡¯s true. Two days ago, she stayed by your side through the night. Besides, the fruit used to save you was given by her.¡± Gilbert heard this and let out a sigh of relief. His expression returned back to peace. Madalyn was angry beyond recognition, ¡°Do you only have that woman in your mind?¡® Gilbert stared at the ceiling above him, daydreaming. Madalyn saw his state, and all the anger boiled up inside her. She angrily swished her sleeves and then huffed toward the outside of the room on her cane. Although she was still mad, she still ordered the servants to quickly prepare some light meals for Gilbert. In the room, George leads the servants out. Kelvin helped Gilbert reattach the syringe back. He had one hand in his pocket while the other controlled the speed of the IV drip. He huffed coldly, ¡°Look at your sorry state. You really are gripped tightly in the palm of that woman¡¯s hand.¡± This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Gilbert seemed to listen but was not listening at all. He continued to stare at the ceiling and was thinking about something unknown. Kelvin was bummed out by this. He could not help but ask, ¡°I told you that woman does not care for your wellbeing. So lucky for you to always think about her. I feel that it¡¯s so unworthy of you.¡± ¡°Who said so? She cares about me,¡± Gilbert finally opened his mouth and spoke with much confidence. Kelvinughed. He spat fromughing as if hearing the world¡¯s funniest joke, ¡°You say she cares about you? Oh Gilbert, where do you get this confidence from?¡± Chapter 651 Chapter 651 Chapter 651 Mr. Kooper Is Delusional Gilbert suddenly remembered the scene in the cave where Kisa pulled him up with the vines. ¡®If she doesn¡¯t give a f*ck about me, then she could have left. Why did she turn back and desperately try to save me? Is it not because she cares about me? She even said that she believed it wasn¡¯t me who set the prison on fire. She finally believes me,¡® Gilbert thought and could not help but smile. The depressing thoughts he had in his mind for the past few days suddenly disappeared. All he wanted to do now was to see Kisa. Kelvin shook his head when he saw Gilbert smiling. He turned over to Davian and said, ¡°I think Mr. Kooper is delusional. He thinks Kisa cares about him. He thinks that she likes him. No, loves him.¡± Davian felt the tension in his jaw as he nodded fiercely with a serious look on his face. ¡°Tsk, tsk¡­¡± Kelvin shook his head and sighed, ¡°This delusional disorder is not a good thing, but seeing how happy he is, let¡¯s not interfere. Otherwise, he¡¯ll return to how he was before, and that¡¯s no fun to watch.¡± As soon as Kelvin finished speaking, Gilbert picked up a pillow and threw it at him. ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s delusional.¡± Kelvin blocked the pillow with one hand and said gloomily, ¡°Wow. You¡¯re usually so weak and tired. I can¡¯t believe you have the strength to hit me just because I mentioned her.¡± ¡°Who told you that I have a delusional disorder?¡± Gilbert leaned against the head of the bed. He still looked sick, but his spirits were much better. The corner of his lips curled upward slightly, and he looked like he was in a good mood. ¡°She cares about me, and that¡¯s a fact,¡± he murmured as if to convince them and to convince himself. Kelvin smirked while Davian covered his mouth and smiled. ¡®It doesn¡¯t matter whether Kisa actually cares for Mr. Kooper. My job is much easier when he¡¯s happy. Hehe. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. After Davian finished his thought, he quickly tried to tter the boss. ¡°You¡¯re right, Mr. Kooper. Ms. Becker must care a lot about you. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have personally delivered the fruit. I heard that there was an avnche on that mountain, and many caves copsed. There was no trace of the fruit, but Ms. Becker found it. Clearly, she risked her life to save you, Mr. Kooper.¡± ¡°Do you have to tter him that much, Davian?¡± Kelvinughed bitterly. ¡°The fruit does not look fresh at first nce. It was obviously picked a few days ago, but you¡¯re saying she risked her life for him? Hah.¡± Davian looked embarrassed. He red at Kelvin angrily and thought, ¡®Is it that hard to keep your mouth shut? Ugh.¡® He then turned to Gilbert but saw that he was already staring at him coldly. Davian panicked and said, Don¡¯t listen to him, Mr. Kooper. This fruit was delivered by Ms. Becker herself. She looked like she was in a rush when she came. She-¡± ¡°Has there been anything going on with the Thompson family recently?¡± Davian was taken aback by Gilbert¡¯s sudden change of topic. ¡°Why are you asking about the Thompson family all of a sudden?¡± Kelvin asked suspiciously. ¡°Emma Thompson is the reason why Kisa and I were trapped in the cave.¡± ¡°What?¡± Kelvin was a little surprised. ¡°What does it have to do with her? Wasn¡¯t she your blind date? Isn¡¯t she the future granddaughter¨Cinw that your grandma liked?¡± ¡°She¡¯s not worthy of it,¡± Gilbert sneered, his face full of disdain. Kelvin looked at Davian, confused, as Davian shook his head. ¡°Emma wanted to kill Kisa. When Kisa was dodging her attack, she rolled down the snow slope, and I went down there to save her,¡± Gilbert said. When Kelvin realized what had happened, he said, ¡°Wow. She¡¯s such a vicious woman. Tsk. Mrs. Kooper Sr. taste is getting worse.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the situation with the Thompson family?¡± Gilbert looked at Davian and asked. Chapter 652 Chapter 652 Chapter 652 His Ruthless Revenge ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. ¡°We¡¯ve been busy trying to resuscitate you; I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on in the Thompson family. But I was flipping through the newspaper the other day and saw a report stating that Emma had gone abroad again. I didn¡¯t really read the news, though,¡± Davian replied. ¡°She¡¯s abroad? Does she think that she can escape all this just by fleeing the country?¡± Gilbert chuckled coldly. The bloodthirsty look in his eyes made Davian and Kelvin tremble in fear. ¡°Kisa, Kisa¡­ Have you read the news today?¡± That morning, Lea rushed into the room with a newspaper in her hands while Kisa was applying medicine to her injured ankle. She did not lock the door because she wanted to make it easier for Jensen toe in at any time. With a surprised look, Lea ran to Kisa in a few steps and ced one specific page of the newspaper in front of her. Kisa wondered what the news was about since there had not been any major news in the entertainment section recently. She looked down at the paper with doubt. [Mr. Thompson: Corruption and Investigated for Illegal Transactions, Century¨COld Enterprise Destroyed] [Thompson Family at the Verge of Bankruptcy. Daddy¡¯s Girl, Emma Thompson, Out on the Streets Abroad. Top Wealthy Family Bes Beggars Overnight] The two huge headlines came into view. Even though Kisa had a stable temperament, she was still shocked when she read those words. ¡®Although the Thompson family¡¯s power is not as powerful as the Kooper family in Calthon, they are still rather influential. How could they be ruined overnight?¡® Kisa thought. She vaguely knew what happened, but she was not sure. Lea quickly expressed her conjecture by saying, ¡°Tell me, Kisa, did Mr. Kooper take revenge? Emma almost killed you. Is this his way of getting justice for you?¡± Kisa did not make a sound. Instead, she just silently scanned the content of the newspaper. After a long while, Lea suddenly murmured, ¡°If this really is Mr. Kooper¡¯s way of revenge, I have no words. He¡¯s so cruel. I can¡¯t believe he ruined the reputation of her entire family.¡± When Lea finished saying that, her face turned pale as if she was frightened, and ayer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. Kisa nced at her, feeling all sorts ofplex emotions. ¡°That¡¯s Gilbert for you. His revenge methods have always been ruthless, and he is never soft¨Chearted toward anyone, even if it¡¯s someone Mrs. Kooper Sr. likes. When we were back in Athadale, he discovered a few traitors among his subordinates. Do you know what he did to those traitors after we escaped from Anthony Mullen?¡± Lea shook her head. ¡°All I can say is that death is better than what he did to them.¡± Kisa did not borate any further. After hearing that, Lea¡¯s face was pale, and she was too scared to speak. Kisa reached out to hold her hand and realized it was cold. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. He only takes his revenge on traitors or those who try to harm him. We¡¯ll be fine if we just focus on our own thing and not provoke him,¡± Kisa said with a smile. ¡°But it¡¯s clear that he cares about you, Kisa. He must¡¯ve taken his revenge on Emma because of you.¡± ¡°Yeah, I think so too.¡± Kisa smiled. ¡°But you don¡¯t have to be afraid. You¡¯re my best friend. You¡¯ll never try to hurt me now, would you? There¡¯s no way he can take his revenge on you.¡± Lea forced a smile and said, ¡°Well, that¡¯s true.¡± ¡°That¡¯s of course, unless you try to hurt me someday.¡® ¡°I would never,¡± Lea replied anxiously. ¡°I would never hurt you, Kisa.¡± Chapter 653 Chapter 653 Chapter 653 She Will Kill Everyone Around Her Seeing that Lea was anxious and determined never to hurt her, Kisa felt a series ofplex emotions again. She did not mean to scare Lea. She just wanted to remind her, and she definitely did not want them to be enemies in the future. ¡°I¡¯m just kidding, Lea. Are you hungry? There¡¯s food in the kitchen,¡± she said as she smiled and patted her shoulder. Lea gave her a serious look and walked into the kitchen. ¡°Do you want something to eat?¡± she asked. ¡® No, I¡¯m good, thanks,¡± Kisa replied, looking at Lea¡¯s back and hoping that she understood what she was trying to convey. At the Kooper residence, Mrs. Kooper Sr. went into Gilbert¡¯s room angrily with a newspaper in her hand while Sharon was cutting up an apple for Gilbert. When she saw Mrs. Kooper Sr. rushing into the room, she quickly got up and backed away. Mrs. Kooper Sr. threw the newspaper in front of Gilbert and asked angrily, ¡°Are you the one behind this?¡± Gilbert nodded slightly and did not deny it. Mrs. Kooper Sr. was furious. ¡°What did she do so bad that you had to take revenge on the Thompson family? Mrs. Thompson Sr. was my high school ssmate, you know. You¡¯re embarrassing me.¡± Gilbert slowly tilted his head upwards to look at her and said, ¡°Emma almost killed me. Was it wrong of me to take my revenge against her family?¡± ¡°The only reason you were stuck in that cave is that you went to save that b*tch,¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. replied. ¡°Yeah. Emma only wanted to hurt Kisa, not you, Gilbert. You taking revenge on their family like this¡­¡± ¡°Go on,¡± Gilbert cast a gloomy look over at Sharon, and she shut up immediately, frightened to speak. ¡®Gilbert is such a ruthless person. When I was younger, I had a crush on this man. I saw how much he cared about Kisa, and I wanted him all for myself. But now, he was nothing I imagined him to be. If he found out about all the things I¡¯ve done in the past, I¡¯d be dead.¡® Sharon shuddered at the thought of Gilbert taking revenge on her. Gilbert opened up the newspaper and nced at it casually. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be angry, Grandma. The Thompson family business is corrupted. Things would eventuallye to this sooner orter. I just fast- forwarded everything. That¡¯s all,¡± he said to Mrs. Kooper Sr. ¡°You still shouldn¡¯t have done it. How am I supposed to face Mrs. Thompson Sr. after this?¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha. Grandma, her granddaughter tried to kill your grandson, and you¡¯re still worried about your friendship with an old ssmate?¡± ¡°Like I said, it¡¯s not Emma¡¯s fault you wanted to save that b*tch. I told you that b*tch was bad luck. She¡¯ll kill everyone around her.¡± Gilbert did not want to listen to his grandma¡¯s words anymore, so he got into bed and turned his back to her. Mrs. Kooper Sr. was so angry that she punched him, but when she thought of how he had indeed escaped death so nearly, she could not help but feel a little resentful toward Emma. ¡°I¡¯m not trying to protect her. I just think that you should stay away from that b*tch, Kisa, so that you can live your life safe and sound. I¡¯ll feel much more assured that way. Do you understand that, Gilbert?¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. said. ¡°Yeah, yeah,¡± Gilbert replied half¨Cheartedly. Mrs. Kooper Sr. shook her head and sighed. ¡°Rest up. It¡¯s almost New Year. We¡¯ll have a lively New Year¡¯s Eve dinner with Ada and Andrew.¡± ¡°Mhm,¡± Gilbert replied again. Mrs. Kooper Sr. patted him warmly on the shoulder before walking out of the room. As soon as she left, Sharon felt a strange coldness in the air. With the half¨Ccut apple in her hand, she could not sit still. More panic rose in her heart when she thought of what the Thompson family was going through. ¡°Have a good rest, Gilbert. I¡¯ll take my leave now,¡± she put the apple on the bedside table and whispered. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g ¡°Stop!¡± Chapter 654 Chapter 654 Chapter 654 An Easy Target Just as Sharon was about to leave the room, Gilbert let out a low growl for her to stop, which made her tremble. When she turned around slowly, she saw that Gilbert had sat up again, his cold gaze prating through her thoughts. ¡°Is there anything else, Gilbert?¡± Sharon smiled and asked softly. Gilbert fiddled around with the newspaper in his hand andughed casually, ¡°Was Emma an easy target?¡± Sharon¡¯s heart pounded, and a puzzled smile appeared on her face. ¡°What are you talking about, Gilbert?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you push Emma to the point that she wanted to kill Kisa?¡± ¡°No, I did not.¡± As soon as Gilbert finished speaking, Sharon started to cry out, ¡°How could you suspect I would do such a thing? Emma has always disliked Kisa because she¡¯s your ex- wife. Her wanting to kill Kisa has nothing to do with me, I swear.¡± Gilbert¡¯s lips curled upwards upon hearing that. ¡°Do you remember what I told you before?¡± His voice was soft, and there was even a smile on his face, which Sharon found creepy. She looked at the man and stayed quiet for a long time. Gilbert leaned back and chuckled, ¡°I¡¯ve told you that you are just a tool to make Kisa better. Mark my words, if you ever try to hurt her again, you and your family will end up even worse than the Thompson family.¡± There was no change of tone in his voice, but Sharon felt a chill run down her spine. She then walked out of the room and rubbed her cold hands, her heart full of discontent, remorse, and hatred. But when she thought of Adrien, the dissatisfaction and resentment in her heart instantly turned into a sneer. Just you wait. I will be the one who wins this in the end.¡® Kisa had recuperated at home for a week. She applied ointment on her ankle three times a day, and the injury was almost fully healed. It no longer hurt when she walked. However, she could not run. Jensen had been serving her three meals a day this past week, but he seemed to be busy since he always left after cooking. didn¡¯t even see him when I went to visit Mia and ke that day,¡® Kisa thought. She figured he was busy with thepany but never asked him about it. The sun was shining brightly this morning. Kisa opened all the windows and took out the nkets to dry on the windowsill. She also cleaned the whole house. Seeing that New Year¡¯s Eve was getting closer and closer, she could not help but feel anticipated. She had not felt like this in so many years. Kisa had spent every New Year¡¯s Eve alone in the dark and damp basement for the past few years. The more festive it was outside, the more miserable she felt inside. She even began to hate the New Year because she was afraid of destion. Now with thepany of Jensen, Mia, and ke, she no longer felt that way. Instead, she felt warm. She took a deep breath of the air outside the window and realized that there was still a beautiful world out there. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Just then, the doorbell rang. She ttened the nket on the windowsill and hurriedly walked over to open the door. It was Mia and ke. Mia frowned when she looked into her apartment. ¡°Where¡¯s Jensen?¡± She asked. Mia¡¯s legs had also healed well, and she could walk normally now. Kisa turned sideways to let them in and said with a smile on her face, ¡°He¡¯s not here.¡± ¡°Sigh, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with this man recently. He¡¯s been out all day long. He promised to go buy New Year goods and decorations with me today, but it¡¯s almost noon and I still haven¡¯t seen him.¡¯ Chapter 655 Chapter 655 Chapter 655 Christmas Mia sat on the sofa with her legs crossed and said those words with a bit of grievance. Kisa poured her a cup of tea and brought out some snacks for ke. ¡°It¡¯s the end of the year. Thepany must be bustling.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the CEO of thepany. It¡¯s under your name now. Why are you here?¡± Mia nced at her and said in a resentful tone. Kisa lowered her gaze and smiled. ¡°Rx. I¡¯ll give J & K Film Group back to him after some time.¡± Mia was stunned. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant,¡± she said with an unnatural expression on her face. ¡°Since he gave you thepany, you should just take it with peace of mind.¡± Kisa shook her head after hearing that. ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it. It¡¯s useless for me to hold shares in thispany.¡® This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Kisa was no longer as determined as she was before to take her revenge on Gilbert anymore. She was just waiting for him to investigate the truth about the fire. Moreover, since they had been through hell in the cave together, she subconsciously believed that he had nothing to do with the fire. While Kisa was in a daze, Mia¡¯s disgusted voice sounded from the cab. ¡°Tsk. These flowers have wilted. Why didn¡¯t you throw them away?¡± As she said that, she grabbed the bouquet of wilted chamomile and tossed them into the trash can. She then put her hands on her waist and looked around the ce. ¡°Not that I¡¯m saying anything, but your house is too clean. There¡¯s no festive joy at all here. It¡¯s almost Christmas, and you still haven¡¯t got any decorations up,¡± Mia said. Kisa was stunned. ¡°How do I decorate the house?¡± ¡®Isn¡¯t cleaning it enough already?¡® She thought. ¡°Come on. I¡¯ll take you out for a stroll and buy some Christmas decorations .¡± Mia was an impulsive person. When she put her mind to something, she would always do it in a hurry. Before Kisa could change, Mia had already dragged ke outside. ke was very considerate. He walked to the door and smiled sweetly at Kisa. ¡°We¡¯ll wait for you downstairs, Ma¡¯am. Also, although the sun is shining today, it¡¯s still rather cold out. Remember to cover up.¡± Kisa nodded. She really liked this kid from the bottom of her heart. She wished she could pick him up and pull him into a big hug. It was that time of the year when the people in Calthon got ready for Christmas. Every household was rushing to get Christmas goods and decorations; perhaps it was because the weather was great. All the major markets were crowded with people. Mia took Kisa and ke to the Birds and Flowers Market. This was the first time Kisa had visited this ce. There were so many pretty flowers that one pair of eyes could not possibly see them all. There were also various small animals there. People were walking on the street with bags of goodies in different sizes. The market looked lively. Kisa stopped in front of a flower shop, and as soon as she picked up a bouquet of chamomile, Mia came over. ¡°Why do you like chamomiles that much? It is so basic and doesn¡¯t look pretty at all. Look at these lilies,¡± Mia said. She then brought Kisa a bouquet of lilies, a bouquet of roses, and two bouquets of flowers that she could not name. ¡°Listen, putting these flowers around the house will lighten up the whole ce.¡® ¡°Okay, okay,¡± Kisa nodded, amused. Then, she asked the florist to wrap up those bouquets of brightly colored flowers, including the chamomile she liked. However, just as she paid for the flowers, she felt like something was off. She hurriedly looked around and asked Mia, Where¡¯s ke?¡± Mia¡¯s heart skipped a beat after hearing that. ¡°He was because the weather was great. All the major markets were crowded with people.

There were so many people today that it was hard for them to spot him. Kisa quickly searched for him in the crowd, anxiously sweating all over. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. Chapter 656 Chapter 656 Chapter 656 Like Doesn¡¯t Mean I Have to Keep The boy, squatting on the ground with his back to Kisa, was ke. In front of him were several metal cages with cute kittens in them. ke stared at the kittens and waspletely in love. Kisa walked over, kneeled down beside ke, and nced at the side of his face. ¡°You like cats?¡± ke nodded. He was the same as her in his regard. Kisa also liked cats. When she was younger, she always hugged her cat to sleep. But since the cat she raised died, she did not dare to keep such a pet again, as she was too heartbroken to see them die. She stroked ke¡¯s head and smiled at him. ¡°Want to keep one? How about I buy you one?¡± However, ke shook his head and stood up. Kisa looked at him in puzzlement. ¡°What is wrong? Don¡¯t you like it?¡± ¡°Liking them doesn¡¯t mean I have to keep them.¡± ke talked like an adult. ¡°I don¡¯t think I can keep them. I¡¯m happy just looking at them.¡± He took onest look at the kittens in the cage. there before she went to help Mia. At this time, the woman, who must have used quite a lot of strength, suddenly yanked away the poor chicken in Mia¡¯s hand, leaving behind a handful of feathers in Mia¡¯s hands. The chicken was flying and shrieking like mad, probably from the pain. As the bird flew in Kisa¡¯s direction, everyone, including Kisa, scrambled to dodge. In the chaos, she was pushed forward and looked as if she was going to have a head¨Con collision with the chicken. She was about to fall, but there was no time to think; she immediately covered her face with her hands. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Right then, a hand wrapped around her waist and drew her into a stiff embrace. Kisa lowered her hands and saw a man wearing a mask and hat hugging her with one hand and holding a chicken securely in the other. She could make from the eyes and forehead of the man that he was Jensen. She breathed a sigh of relief and stood back up. Mia ran over and nced at the chicken in Jensen¡¯s hand and grunted at the woman, ¡°This chicken is mine, and no one is going to take it away from me.¡® The woman was indignant and came up, trying to grab the chicken from Jensen. But she faltered when Jensen shot her a stern look. She looked at the chicken indignantly, still unwilling to give up. But she was more afraid of Jensen¡¯s eyes. She shot a re at Mia and finally left reluctantly. Mia grunted, then happily took the chicken from Jensen¡¯s hand. Jensen nced at the scratch marks on the back of her hand and said, ¡°Is a chicken that important?¡± ¡°This chicken is the best, and I bought it for you,¡± Mia said casually as she took the chicken to the butcher. Jensen nced at her, and when he withdrew his eyes, he looked unruffled. ¡°What about you? Are you hurt?¡± he asked Kisa. Kisa shook her head. ¡°It is lucky that you are here. Otherwise, the woman might have snatched the chicken from us.¡± Jensen shook his head helplessly. ¡°I can¡¯t believe it.¡± In the crowd, Gracie looked at Kelvin with surprise. ¡°Why are you filming Kisa?¡± ¡°It has its uses.¡± Kelvin admired the video he had just filmed, then put his arm around Gracie and went to the seafood store. ¡°Since we are shopping for Christmas Eve, we can buy more.¡± ¡°Are we going to say hello to Kisa?¡± ¡°No, no, we will meet them next time. There is always an opportunity. Let¡¯s hurry up and do the Christmas shopping.¡± Gilbert was holding Kelvin¡¯s phone in the Kooper residence, his eyes staring at the photos inside. Chapter 657 Chapter 657 Chapter 657 Head-On Collision with the Chicken Mia''s eyes widened, and as she looked over, she saw it was a woman in her fifties. The woman had a face like thunder. "This chicken is mine. Give it to me." "Heh, what a joke! Does this chicken have your name written on it? Finders keepers. Get away from me. You think I''m afraid of you just because you are fat?" Mia was fearless as she shook off the woman''s hand. The woman would not let up and continued tugging the chicken. "I have had my eye on this chicken for a long time. The shopkeeper hadn''t had the time to get it for me. Give it to me." Mia held the chicken in her arms. "You should have grabbed it earlier if you wanted it. Since I have my hand on it now, it is mine. You go away." This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. The woman refused to back down, and the two went straight to fighting over it. The store was already crowded with people, and it was even more chaotic when they fought. Kisa was worried ke would be knocked over, so she took him to the cashier''s area. She told ke to wait there before she went to help Mia. At this time, the woman, who must have used quite a lot of strength, suddenly yanked away the poor chicken in Mia''s hand, leaving behind a handful of feathers in Mia''s hands. The chicken was flying and shrieking like mad, probably from the pain. As the bird flew in Kisa''s direction, everyone, including Kisa, scrambled to dodge. In the chaos, she was pushed forward and looked as if she was going to have a head-on collision with the chicken. She was about to fall, but there was no time to think; she immediately covered her face with her hands. Right then, a hand wrapped around her waist and drew her into a stiff embrace. Kisa lowered her hands and saw a man wearing a mask and hat hugging her with one hand and holding a chicken securely in the other. She could make from the eyes and forehead of the man that he was Jensen. She breathed a sigh of relief and stood back up. Mia ran over and nced at the chicken in Jensen''s hand and grunted at the woman, "This chicken is mine, and no one is going to take it away from me." The woman was indignant and came up, trying to grab the chicken from Jensen. But she faltered when Jensen shot her a stern look. She looked at the chicken indignantly, still unwilling to give up.But she was more afraid of Jensen''s eyes. She shot a re at Mia and finally left reluctantly. Mia grunted, then happily took the chicken from Jensen''s hand. Jensen nced at the scratch marks on the back of her hand and said, "Is a chicken that important?" "This chicken is the best, and I bought it for you," Mia said casually as she took the chicken to the butcher. Jensen nced at her, and when he withdrew his eyes, he looked unruffled. "What about you? Are you hurt?" he asked Kisa. Kisa shook her head. "It is lucky that you are here. Otherwise, the woman might have snatched the chicken from us." Jensen shook his head helplessly. "I can''t believe it." In the crowd, Gracie looked at Kelvin with surprise. "Why are you filming Kisa?" "It has its uses." Kelvin admired the video he had just filmed, then put his arm around Gracie and went to the seafood store. ''''Since we are shopping for Christmas Eve, we can buy more." "Are we going to say hello to Kisa?" "No, no, we will meet them next time. There is always an opportunity. Let''s hurry up and do the Christmas shopping." Gilbert was holding Kelvin''s phone in the Kooper residence, his eyes staring at the photos inside. Chapter 658 Chapter 658 Chapter 658 It¡¯s Not Like I¡¯m Dying In the photo, a woman wearing a mask was leaning in the arms of a man who was also wearing a mask and hat. The man¡¯s hand was also holding a chicken. The photo was extraordinarily clear. Judging by the body shape and eyes of the two, the woman must be Kisa, and the man, Jensen. Those two people stood out in the noisy crowd. Gilbert pursed his lips and gritted his teeth in what might look like a sign of anger. Kelvin approached Gilbert, cocked his head, and looked at his face with a cheeky smile. ¡°Didn¡¯t you swear she cared about you? Now it seems that she is not worried about you at all. I dare to say that she has forgotten about you.¡± Gilbert tossed the phone back to him and said nonchntly, ¡°It is not like I¡¯m dying. Why should she worry about me?¡± ¡°Not really. I told her the other day that you would die, thinking of making her worry about you. But by the looks of what has happened today, she is not the least worried about you but also having a good time with Jensen,¡± Kelvin said, ncing at Gilbert¡¯s darkened face. ¡°And Christmas is just around the corner. The two of them must be doing some shopping together in the farmers¡® market. I bet my two cents that they will spend Christmas together this year. You will be left in the cold, Mr. CEO.¡± ¡°What the f*ck are you trying to say?¡± Gilbert bellowed impatiently at him. Kelvin frowned in disgust. ¡°Mind yournguage. We are people of status.¡± Gilbert looked askance at him and snorted sarcastically, I didn¡¯t know that you had a talent for being a paparazzo, going so far as to go to the farmers¡® market to take this picture. I know you too well, Kelvin. You would rather die than go to a noisy ce like the farmers¡® market. Well, you have really sacrificed a lot for this photo.¡± ¡°For the record, I didn¡¯t go to the farmer¡¯s market to take this picture; I was apanying Gracie. Single men like you won¡¯t understand the fun of Christmas Eve shopping. It is really only fun to go shopping with your loved ones.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face could have been more darkened. ¡®It is really only fun to go shopping with your loved ones? Heck! Is that the reason Kisa and Jensen went shopping together?¡® An irritation rose inside him. If he wasn¡¯t still weak and his grandmother had not confined him to the vi, he would have gone looking for Kisa and would not be here feeling upset at this time. Kelvin saw his sullen face and knew that he was really pissed. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. You got to care for yourself first. I didn¡¯t mean to show you this photo. I just hope you don¡¯t have too much expectation of that woman. Otherwise, you will be the one who will be hurt.¡± ¡°I never had great expectations for her.¡± ¡°That is good, that is good.¡± Kelvin breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°I¡¯m convinced she has me in mind,¡± Gilbert added. Kelvin looked gobsmacked, feeling like he had cast pearls before a swine, as Gilbert did not seem to appreciate it. Fine. If you think she has you in mind, then she has you in mind. Anyway, I have reminded you of that. When you get hurt by her, don¡¯t be hysterical again.¡± In the evening, Madalyn left two older maids to cook dinner, while the rest were given the day off. The two maids and also George joined them at the table for dinner. However, it stillcked the festive mood in the atmosphere. The two maids were probably a bit too cautious and said nothing throughout the meal. They just ate in silence. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Only George and Madalyn asionally said a few words. Andrew and Ada felt so restrained that they missed being at Kisa¡¯s house. Andrew suddenly took out his phone and said to Madalyn, ¡°Great¨CGrandma, can I video¨Ccall my good friend?¡± Chapter 659 Chapter 659 Chapter 659 Video-Call Madalyn always gave whatever her great¨Cgrandchildren requested. She quickly nodded and broke out in an avuncr smile. ¡°Of course, but will it disturb your good friend at this time of day?¡± ¡°It won¡¯t. ke must be still awake at this hour,¡± Ada said at once. When Gilbert heard ke¡¯s name, his eyes lit up. He quietly put down his cutlery and said to Andrew and Ada, ¡°If you want to video ¨C call your friend, go to the couch. Don¡¯t disturb everyone¡¯s dinner.¡± ¡°s, Gilbert, don¡¯t be so hard on them,¡± Madalyn said, smiling even more indulgently at the children. ¡°It is okay right here. It won¡¯t interfere with everyone¡¯s dinner.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t keep spoiling them like this. You will spoil them,¡± Gilbert said, getting up and saying to Andrew and Ada, ¡°Come on, I will take you two over to the couch.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The two nodded their heads, held Gilbert¡¯s hand, one on the left and the other on the right, and walked toward the couch. Madalyn looked on as they went and said to George, Gilbert is too strict with the children. I always spoiled him when he was a kid, yet here you see, he wasn¡¯t spoiled.¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha, you should let Mr. Kooper be. He must have his reasons for being so strict.¡± ¡°Hmph, my great¨Cgrandchildren are so cute. I¡¯m going to spoil them.¡± Gilbert took Andrew and Ada to the couch and sat himself down on the couch. Ada looked at him in puzzlement. ¡°Aren¡¯t you eating, Daddy?¡± ¡°I¡¯m full.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t we just start dinner? I haven¡¯t even seen you eat anything.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not hungry.¡± Gilbert stoked Ada¡¯s head and looked over at Andrew. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to video¨Ccall your best friend? Hurry up.¡± ¡°Daddy, why are you in a bigger hurry than me?¡± Andrew asked. ¡°I¡¯m not. I¡¯m trying to get you guys to hurry up, finish your video call and then continue your dinner.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Andrew chuckled, then switched on his phone and called ke. The call was answered at once. Probably ke had his phone in his hand. ke¡¯s face appeared on the screen. ¡°Hey, ke!¡± Ada flew up before the phone screen and called out to ke with gusto. ke was also thrilled and greeted Andrew and Ada. Gilbert was sitting next to them with a magazine on hisp. He seemed to be reading the magazine, but his eyes kept ncing at the phone in Andrew¡¯s hand. ¡°ke, where¡¯s Ma¡¯am? I want to see Ma¡¯am,¡± Ada said. ¡°Ma¡¯am is cooking.¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you guys eaten yet?¡± Andrew asked. ¡°No, Ma¡¯am said we will have an Advent dinner today. She and Dad bought a lot of ingredients today, all the things that Dad and I like to eat,¡± ke said. Gilbert looked down at the magazine on hisp, his fingers squeezing the corner of the magazine. Perhaps he did it too hard; a corner of the magazine was ripped off. ¡°It is prettyte now, ke. When are you guys going to have dinner?¡± ¡°Soon. Ma¡¯am is cooking in the kitchen with Dad. It should be ready soon.¡± Gilbert ripped off the corner of a page of the magazine yet again. He was overwhelmed with jealousy. ¡°ke, it¡¯s the Advent today. Do you have any activities after dinner?¡± Andrew asked. ¡°Ma¡¯am said there would be some gamester at dinner,¡± ke said. Ada looked envious at once. ¡°I would love to go to Ma¡¯am¡¯s ce.¡± Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g ¡°Yeah, why not? Ma¡¯am will wee you all for sure.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Ada nced over at Gilbert. She pouted and looked not too happy at seeing his darkened face. ¡°Daddy definitely won¡¯t take us there. He has to stay home with great¨Cgrandma for the Advent¡¯s dinner.¡± ¡°Oh, that is okay. You guys cane over on New Year¡¯s Eve. Ma¡¯am said there are more fun games on New Year¡¯s Eve.¡± Chapter 660 Chapter 660 Chapter 660 So Much Resentment Ada¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°A more fun game? What game is that?¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am didn¡¯t say, but she said the more people, the more fun. So, Ada, you guyse together then. And also, Uncle Gilbert, you alle,¡± ke said. Ada looked expectantly at Gilbert, whose eyes were fixed on the magazine as if he had not noticed Ada looking at her or heard their conversation. Ada pouted and looked at Andrew, who also looked disappointed. ¡°ke, dinner is ready.¡± Just at that moment, Kisa¡¯s voice came through the phone. Gilbert¡¯s fingers trembled slightly. He raised his eyes and saw Kisa¡¯s face on the screen of the phone and found that she had a rounder face. He guessed that probably she must have been happy together with Jensen, or the phone was making her look fat. But he hoped it was because of thetter. ¡°Andrew, Ada, it has been a long time. I miss you guys.¡± Ada, ¡°I miss you, too, Ma¡¯am. Can Andrew, Daddy, and I spend Christmas Eve at your ce?¡± Ada asked. ¡°It¡¯s¡­¡± Kisa hesitated. She thought, ¡®If Gilbert takes the children to my house on Christmas Eve, then wouldn¡¯t Madalyn resent me even more if she is alone in the massive Kooper residence?¡® This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. And her few seconds of hesitation seemed to Gilbert to be reluctant, that she did not want him and the children to disturb the happy life of her and Jensen together. He felt even more upset. He got up at once, grabbed the phone from Andrew¡¯s hand, and barked at the face, which he had been missing all day, on the phone screen. ¡°Do not worry. We won¡¯t go to disturb you two.¡± He cut off the video after saying that. Kisa was surprised, ¡®What the heck? Why is Gilbert so angry? But the fact that he is so angry means that he is really not in bad shape anymore.¡® She was in a good mood. Using ke¡¯s phone, she sent a message to Andrew. After that, she returned the phone to ke and brought him to the dinner table. Over at the Kooper¡¯s residence, Gilbert¡¯s face had darkened and looked sullen. Ada was so depressed that she did not understand her daddy anymore, as he was always angry for no apparent reason. She did not even have time to speak more to Kisa before her daddy ended the call. She was so pissed, sitting on the couch with her arms folded, her face puffed up like an angry frog, but Gilbert¡¯s face was not much better. Ada and Gilbert were sitting less than one foot apart from each other. Their angry faces were simr as if they were made from the same mold. Andrew looked at them and wanted tough. Just when Andrew was about to put his phone away, it suddenly buzzed, and the screen lit up, with a message notification popping up on the screen. It was from ke. He tapped to open the message at once and took a look. He then literally jumped for joy. ¡°Ma¡¯am agreed to let us go to her house for Christmas Eve! Yeah!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Her anger vanished, and Ada broke into a smile. ¡°I knew it. Ma¡¯am won¡¯t reject us.¡± Gilbert stared glumly at the joy on the faces of the two children, feeling upset. He felt that woman letting the children go to her house was just out of pity. It saddened him that the children were still so happy. Ada jumped over and hugged Gilbert¡¯s arm. ¡°Daddy, will you go to Ma¡¯am¡¯s house on Christmas Eve?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± ¡°Huh? If you are not going, how will Andrew and I get over there?¡± ¡°Either stay home, or I will have Uncle Davian drive you there.¡± ¡°Humph! Stinky daddy!¡± Ada huffed, shaking off his arm. ¡°Strangely, why did Ma¡¯am say that we should wait until great¨Cgrandma was asleep, and only then can we go? Wouldn¡¯t that mean we can¡¯t go as long as great- grandma is awake?¡± Andrew suddenly said in puzzlement. Gilbert frowned. ¡°What do you mean? Show me that message.¡± Chapter 661 Chapter 661 Chapter 661 I Will Be Waiting C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Andrew quickly handed him the phone. Gilbert took a look. His tightly furrowed brow slowly eased up. Even the gloom on his face slowly dissipated. [On Christmas Eve, bring Andrew and Ada over after your great¨Cgrandma falls asleep. I¡¯ll be waiting for you all.] ¡®Was she hesitating because she was wary about Grandma and not because she disliked us disturbing her and Jensen?¡® With this thinking in mind, he no longer felt upset. He handed the phone back to Andrew with a smile on his face. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go over for dinner. I will take you to ma¡¯am¡¯s ce on Christmas Eve.¡± Andrew and Ada looked at each other, both having puzzled looks on their faces. On Christmas Eve, It¡¯s customary for all the families to have a family gathering, yet Davian was alone in his apartment ying online games. What killed the buzz was that the other yers were all couples. He quit after just one round, then put down his phone, feeling depressed. As he looked out the window at the brightly lit city, he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness. He had worked for Gilbert for years and even forgotten about getting a girlfriend. As his parents¡® home was too far away, he could not find someone to drink with on asions like this. His phone suddenly rang, jolting him out of his thoughts, and he quickly picked it up. Usually, whenever he saw Gilbert calling, he would behave cautiously. But today, the caller ID of Mr. Kooper on the screen looked extraordinarily kind. As he answered the phone, a giggle apanied his softened tone of voice. Gilbert nced at his phone in puzzlement. ¡°Davian?¡± He thought he had the wrong number. ¡°Yes, Mr. Kooper. It is me.¡± ¡°Talk nicely, and don¡¯t giggle.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Davian put away his smile and asked in a serious tone, ¡°What can I do for you, Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to find out the whereabouts of the women¡¯s prison personnel a few days ago? Any news?¡± Davian pouted. He thought that Gilbert was calling to ask him for a drink. After all, Gilbert was also single. ¡°Hello?¡± Gilbert impatiently frowned when he did not get a response from Davian. ¡°There is no definite news yet, but there are clues. So far, there are leads to two female jailers,¡± Davian quickly said. ¡°Can you find out exactly where they are before Christmas?¡± ¡°After Christmas, maybe?¡± Davian was going to cry, as it was only five days before Christmas. There was not enough time. ¡°Try your best,¡± Gilbert said. ¡°I will, Mr. Kooper.¡± ¡°Are you going back home this Christmas? You may take a break after this is over.¡± ¡°No, no, no¡­ I don¡¯t need a break. My parents will pressure me to get married if I go home. I don¡¯t want to go back.¡± Gilbert smiled. ¡°All right. I will introduce you to the right girl when I see one.¡± Davian was all smiles. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Kooper. Thank you, Mr. Kooper. You are the best boss in the world.¡± ¡®Brown noser.¡¯ Gilbert smiled and hung up the phone. He got up and went to the window, looking out at the lights, his mind drifting back to the time when he and Kisa were stuck in the cave. It was a horrible ce, and he almost died in the cave. But he missed those days immensely. Every time he recalled Kisa¡¯s persistence in saving him, herying on him, murmuring that she would not leave him behind no matter what, her saying she believed in him, his heart felt warm. These days, he missed her terribly. But he was afraid that if he saw her, she would be as cold and hateful to him as before. He realized that, in the end, he was also a coward. Still looking out at the city lights of Calthon, he wondered which one of the lights was hers and what she was doing now. He took out his cell phone and swiped his fingers over the familiar string of numbers, wanting to dial them several times but dismissing the idea because of the concerns in his mind. ¡®She should be having a happy Christmas dinner with Jensen. In that case, I shouldn¡¯t disturb her, spoiling their mood and pissing her off. Heh, when did I be so cautious with her?¡® He sat in the recliner, staring at the stars in the sky with fascination. His mind was flooded with her face. He raised his hand, ced it on his forehead, and forced a smile, thinking he would probably lose sleep again tonight. On Christmas Eve, an upscale bistro was full to the brim. When Jensen arrived, Adrien was already there. Adrien was not the only one there; there was another person: Peter. Chapter 662 Chapter 662 Chapter 662 We¡¯re Not¡­ Rted Jensen slightly frowned when he saw Peter. ¡°You¡¯re here too.¡± Peter smiled inexplicably and said naturally, ¡°I¡¯ll have a meal with Uncle Adrien every Christmas Eve. Why? Don¡¯t you know it?¡± He slightly curled his lips, showing a little of his devilish side. Jensen stayed quiet and just sat down at the dining table. His face did not look well. He said to Adrien, ¡°Why did you call me here?¡± Adrien straightened up and said, ¡°Dinner first. Today is the Advent. Let¡¯s have a good meal together.¡± Jensen sneered. Adrien¡¯s words somehow seemed ridiculous and ironic to him. He stood up and said, ¡°I¡¯ve eaten. I¡¯m going back if there¡¯s nothing else.¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Adrien¡¯s face darkened. He tugged on his tie irritably and said coldly to Jensen, ¡°I just want you to have a meal with me. Is it that difficult?¡± ¡°Someone is here eating with you,¡± Jensen snickered and nced at Peter. Peter was puzzled. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a meal? Why do you need to make it soplicated?¡± Suddenly, all the good mood for the meal was gone. The vibe in their private room was depressed and tight, while others were having a joyful Advent. Peter could no longer tolerate it as he flicked the ashes between his fingers, stood up, and said to Jensen, ¡°I know I¡¯m unpleasing to your eyes. Well, I¡¯ll leave. You can have a good dinner with Uncle Adrien.¡± Peter was not hungry at all. He would rather go to find Jolina instead of having dinner here if he had the time to spare. ¡°Come back!¡± Unexpectedly, Adrien stopped Peter suddenly when he had just taken two steps toward the door. Adrien watched him grow up, often teaching him to read and write when he was younger. So, he still respected Adrien and stopped walking when Adrien called him. ¡°Sit down and have dinner with me.¡± Adrien waved at him. He was not saying it in amanding tone but with a touch of kindness. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Jensen sneered again, ¡°I won¡¯t be bothering you anymore. Enjoy your dinner.¡± Peter was speechless. ¡®Is Jensen crazy? Isn¡¯t it just a meal? Why does he have to be jealous?¡® Suddenly, Jensen remembered what happened in Kerrona Hill when he was about to leave. After hesitating for a few seconds, he still asked Adrien, ¡°How do you n to deal with Gilbert next?¡± ¡°Get out of here if you¡¯re not eating. Stop asking around. Adrien was holding back his anger. He could not help but yell at him immediately when hearing Jensen¡¯s question. Jensen did not bother to ask. He turned around and left without giving a single goodbye. Adrien was furious. He threw the napkin on the table irritably and lost all his appetite. With doubt in his heart, Peter nced at Adrien and asked, ¡°Uncle Adrien, what is your rtionship with Jensen?¡± ¡®I only know Jensen used to work under Uncle Adrien. But I discovered at Kerrona Hill that their rtionship wasn¡¯t simply superior¨Csubordinate.¡® Adrien lit a cigarette and leaned back on the chair. The anger on his face had subsided a lot. He stared at the mmed private room door and said casually, ¡°We are not¡­ rted.¡± Anthony hurried over as soon as Jensen left. ¡°Mr. Tanner, the people under Gilbert are investigating the whereabouts of the jailer back then. Aren¡¯t you nning to deal with them?¡± Peter looked at both of them inexplicably. He could not understand what they were talking about. Adrien was smoking a cigarette casually with an expression that he was in control of everything. ¡°Let him investigate. The sooner he gets the result, the better.¡± Anthony raised his eyebrows. ¡°Why? Mr. Tanner, do you have a n?¡± Adrien remained silent for a while before smiling unfathomably. Chapter 663 Chapter 663 Chapter 663 Give Him Anything Except for Women The streets were full of people, and many were engaged in entertainment activities inrge squares, livening the atmosphere. Jensen walked on the street alone quietly, as if he was out of tune with the hustle and bustle around him. Unconsciously, he walked to the gate of the Kooper residence. In his memory, he only felt the Christmas spirit in this vi. ¡®Gilbert, Grandma, and I will always have Christmas dinner together at that time. Although only three of us were there, we didn¡¯t feel lonely. Grandma will prepare a gift for each of us on Advent. I was always so excited when I received her gift, and I stayed up for the whole night.¡® shes of childhood memory entered his mind as he arrived in front of the gate to the courtyard. The gate was half¨Copened, with someone already in the yard. Jensen saw Madalyn when he raised his head. Subconsciously turning back to the direction he came from, Madalyn¡¯s call stopped Jensen. Madalyn and George were chatting in the yard, but Madalyn¡¯s face darkened when she saw Jensen¡¯s arrival. She walked over with a cane. The kindness on her face had long since disappeared. Madalyn¡¯s tone still concealed her disappointment with him, ¡°What else are you here for, checking if you killed Gilbert?¡± Jensen kept his back toward Madalyn and remained silent, but his hands on the side slightly tightened. ¡°I¡¯ll make Gilbert know your true colors. Forget about ever hurting him again.¡± Madalyn still held a grudge for Jensen¡¯s refusal to pick the fruit. She felt particrly resentful toward the man in front of her when she thought her grandson had almost died. Jensen lowered his eyes and smiled, calmly saying, Sorry, I came to the wrong ce.¡± He left without looking back after he finished. Madalyn opened her mouth, but no words could be spoken. When Gilbert ran down in a hurry, Jensen¡¯s figure had long been out of sight. He turned around and looked at Madalyn, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did Jensen leave?¡± ¡°Why do you still care about a brother who wants you dead?¡± ¡®George had told me about the incident of picking fruit, but I don¡¯t trust it.¡® Gilbert followed Madalyn into the yard and said in a firm tone, ¡°He definitely will pick the fruit for me if he knows I urgently need the fruit. If the situation were reversed, I¡¯d definitely pick the fruit for him, even if I have to go through heaven and earth.¡± Madalyn almost fainted from anger after she heard Gilbert. ¡°You fool! Treating him with sincerity doesn¡¯t mean he would reciprocate. From his point of view, you¡¯re the enemy who robbed him of his woman and property.¡± Gilbert lowered his eyes and said casually, ¡°I¡¯m willing to give him anything he wants except for women.¡± Madalyn was furious with him. ¡°Just wait and see. He¡¯s the same as his father. He¡¯ll never be content with the status quo.¡± Suddenly, Gilbert looked at Madalyn with sadness. ¡°I remember you liked him a lot when I was younger. But why are you always doubtful of him nowadays? Have you ever thought he just came to see you, and what you said may have hurt him?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Madalyn was at a loss for words. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Gilbert whispered, ¡°There were many opportunities if he wanted to kill me. He doesn¡¯t have to send you such a message.¡± Gilbert entered the vi after he finished. Madalyn stood in the yard and felt a little lost. The surface of the river shimmered. Jensen held a bottle of wine and leaned against the fence on the riverbank. He took a sip of the wine andughed grimly. ¡®Everyone thinks I¡¯m a bad guy. So, I¡¯ll be the bad guy, okay?¡® Time flew by, and Christmas Eve came as soon as Advent was over. Kisa got up early in the morning, cleaned up the house, then began to list the things she was going to buy today. ¡®I made an appointment with Jensen and Mia to make dumplings on Christmas Eve. I must buy the wrappers and fillings. Besides, the couplets and decorations must be bought so we can decorate,¡® thought Kisa as she took a pen and listed it on the paper, only finalizing the long to- buy list after a while. Kisa then changed into a thick sweater and ran into ke when she was about to go out. ke came out of the house alone, face full of sadness. Chapter 664 Chapter 664 Chapter 664 Do You Want to Kill Me? Kisa¡¯s heart sank. She squatted in front of ke hurriedly and asked, ¡°ke, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ke pursed his lips and showed a note to Kisa. ¡°Ma¡¯am, dad and mom are gone.¡± ¡®Gone?¡® Kisa frowned fiercely and looked at the note hastily. [Kisa, I¡¯m sorry. Please help me to take care of ke again. I have to go back to Raworth to deal with something. See you next year ¨C Jensen.] ¡®It¡¯s strange. Is there something happening in Raworth during Christmas?¡® Kisa led ke into the house without thinking much of it. ¡°Don¡¯t be sad. I¡¯ll stay with you to celebrate Christmas this year.¡± ke sniffled and sat on the couch, bravely withholding his tears. Kisa took out her phone and sent Jensen a message after settling him down. [ Leave taking care of ke to me while you focus on resolving your affairs. Merry Christmas, Jensen.] Mia snickered and looked at the line of words lit up on the screen of Jensen¡¯s phone in the darkened room. ¡°It seems she really trusts you. She would believe whatever you say. Jensen turned off his phone and leaned against the window to smoke. Mia curled her lip and snorted, ¡°Don¡¯t be cheated by her innocent face. She¡¯s actually scheming. She only wished you a Merry Christmas, yet I received nothing. No wonder she can have a close rtionship with men. After all, she only cares about guys.¡± Suddenly, her phone rang just as she was talking. She lowered her eyes subconsciously and smiled at Jensen in embarrassment after a while, ¡°Let¡¯s pretend I said nothing.¡± Jensen totally ignored her and just stared out the window nkly. Mia nced at his lonely side face and said in disgust, ¡°I really can¡¯t understand you. You obviously wanted to spend this Christmas Eve with her, so why are you hiding out here?¡± ¡°Just go back if you want. I didn¡¯t ask you to follow.¡± ¡°You!¡± Mia red at him resentfully. ¡®This man is ungrateful. I was just afraid he would be lonely. So, I ran out to hide in this dark room with him on Christmas Eve. In the end, all I received were those sarcastic words.¡® Mia stared at the distress between Jensen¡¯s eyebrows for a while. She whispered, ¡°Are you afraid?¡± Jensen frowned and looked at her coldly. His look confirmed her suspicion even more. ¡°We never had a good Christmas Eve for so many years. You¡¯re afraid this Christmas Eve will be too warm and wonderful, making you overindulge in this kind of warmth and pleasure that does not belong to you. That¡¯s why you choose to avoid it, right?¡± C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Jensen smoked more intensely, aggressively exhaling as if trying to expel his suppressed anger together with the smoke. ¡°Sometimes, it¡¯s bad to know too many things.¡± Mia sneered, ¡°So what? Do you want to kill me?¡± Jensen withdrew his gaze and continued looking out the window with his indifferent eyes. Mia stared at his cold side face and felt ufortable. ¡®I knew this man always longed for warmth. I could give it to him, but it was a pity that what he wants isn¡¯t this.¡® Kisa¡¯s Christmas Eve dinner seemed a little lonely without Jensen and Mia. ke was unhappy and in a bad mood as. He did not even eat the dishes that Kisa gave him. Kisa thought for a moment and said to ke, ¡°Why don¡¯t we have a video call with Andrew and Ada and ask when they wille?¡± Kisa¡¯s phone rang as soon as she said this. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 665 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 665 Chapter 665 He Can¡¯t Understand This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. It was a video call request sent by Andrew. Kisa answered quickly and handed the phone to ke. ¡°ke!¡± It was Ada¡¯s sweet and soft voice which was pleasant to hear. Kisa dragged a chair, sat beside ke, and looked at the cute face in the video. ¡°Ada, have you taken your Christmas Eve dinner?¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve eaten. The servants are on vacation today. So, Daddy cooked us delicious food.¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am!¡± Andrew came over too. ¡°Have you two eaten?¡± ¡°We¡¯re eating now.¡± Kisa took another dish for ke and asked him to eat. ke¡¯s mood lightened after the video call with Andrew started. He was finally willing to enjoy the meal, swallowing the food and asking Andrew, ¡°When are youing over?¡± Andrew thought for a while, then shook his head. ¡°Great- grandma hasn¡¯t slept yet. So, we don¡¯t know when we will be able to go there.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s daddy?¡± Kisa was eating. Suddenly, she was startled when she heard ke¡¯s question. Then, she thought it might be the easier way for kids tomunicate. Indeed, Andrew did not notice anything wrong and replied directly, ¡°Daddy is apanying great¨C grandma. He said he would bring us there when great¨Cgrandma fell asleep.¡± ¡°Okay. Ma¡¯am and I will wait for you.¡± In Madalyn¡¯s room of the Kooper¡¯s residence. Gilbert sat by the bed and chatted with Madalyn patiently. Madalyn leaned on the bed¡¯s headboard while holding onto Gilbert¡¯s hand. Her face was full of kindness. ¡°I remember you and Jensen liked Christmas the most when the both of you were young.¡± ¡°I was naive and easily contented when I was younger,¡± Gilbert responded softly to Madalyn. Madalyn smiled and nodded, ¡°Yeah. The both of you were easily content when you were younger. At that time, a gift from me could make Jensen happy for many days.¡± ¡°I think he¡¯s happy because you gave him the gift but not the gift itself.¡® Madalyn stopped talking immediately. She looked at the bright lights outside the window, and her eyes were full of tears. ¡®There¡¯ll always be some mixed emotions in the hearts when people get older.¡® Gilbert patted her hand. ¡°Grandma, do you want to sleep? I¡¯ll stay with you here.¡± Madalyn nodded andy down under the nket with his support. She did not sleep but stared at Gilbert without blinking. It seemed her grandson would disappear as soon as she closed her eyes. Gilbert sat back on the chair and held her hand. Grandma, go to sleep. I¡¯ll go out when you fall asleep.¡± Madalyn still did not sleep and just looked at him silently. After a long time, she suddenly said, ¡°Do you know why I don¡¯t agree with you being with Kisa?¡± Gilbert¡¯s back stiffened and he waited for her to continue. ¡°Because she has caused you to lose many things. Her existence will only hurt you. I don¡¯t allow you to be with her for your own good and to prevent you from being hurt in the future.¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and remained silent. Madalyn said urgently, ¡°I won¡¯t harm you. Listen to me and break up with her. Otherwise, you¡¯ll have a meltdown when you know the truth.¡± ¡°What truth?¡± Gilbert asked her. Madalyn did not clearly spell it out but only continued in a worrying tone, ¡°I won¡¯t force you to do anything if you don¡¯t know the truth for your whole life. I¡¯m just afraid you will know it one day. Do you understand?¡± Gilbert shook his head. He really cannot understand. He wanted for more details, but Madalyn was unwilling to say anything. The room was silent, only the sound of the clock ticking. Madalyn¡¯s smooth breathing soon arose after a while. Gilbert stared at her old appearance for a long time, tucked her quilt, got up, and left. Madalyn¡¯s sudden rambling came from behind him when he walked out of the door. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 666 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 666 Chapter 666 Don¡¯t Be With Her ¡°Listen to me. Don¡¯t be with her. Never be with her.¡± Gilbert put his hand on the doorknob. He turned his head to look at Madalyn and then walked out quietly. He pressed against the cold door and remained silent for a long time after closing the door. He felt bitter, unable to understand why Madalyn rejected his rtionship with Kisa. ¡®Grandma was the one who supported us most for being together at the beginning. What happened? What is the truth that she kept saying?¡® Gilbert turned around and leaned against the door in annoyance. Madalyn¡¯s rambling haunted his ears. ¡®I don¡¯t want to make grandma sad, but I couldn¡¯t lose Kisa either.¡® ke kept staring at the clock on the wall. Finally, he could not wait any longer when the hour hand pointed to ten o¡¯clock. He said to Kisa, ¡°Ma¡¯am, why don¡¯t we go to them?¡± Kisa resigned. ¡®Kids act based on impulse.¡® They needed to go to Kooper¡¯s residence if they wanted to C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. find Gilbert, yet Madalyn would kick them out if they were found out. Kisa had prepared all kinds of fillings and coins of different sizes, cleaning up the dining table and cing the ravioli wrappers and fillings on it. She just realized it was already ten o¡¯clock, sitting on a chair swiping her phone while waiting for Gilbert when ke suddenly said. Christmas Eve would end in two hours. ¡®Could it be Mrs. Kooper Sr didn¡¯t want to go to sleep and was waiting for the countdown?¡® Kisa asked ke, ¡°Are you hungry? Should I make some ravioli for you?¡± ke shook his head. His face was full of disappointment and sadness. The more he thought of Jensen and Mia¡¯s sudden departure and Gilbert and Andrew¡¯s absence, the sadder he felt. Finally, ke could not hold back any longer and cried to Kisa, ¡°It¡¯s clearly agreed that we would y games together on Christmas Eve. Mom, dad, and even Uncle Gilbert broke the promise. Andrew and Ada also lied as well. Boo hoo! Didn¡¯t we already agree?¡± His voice was full of grievance and sadness. Kisa¡¯s heart was about to break when she heard this. It was the first time she saw ke cry. He has always seemed mature, but deep down, he was just a child. He would loudly cry when he was sad and wronged. Kisa hurried over to hug him. ¡°ke, it¡¯s okay. I¡¯m here. I¡¯ll y games with you if they don¡¯te. I¡¯ll apany you on Christmas Eve and the countdown. I¡¯ll always stay with you.¡± ¡°I just¡­ want us to be together,¡± ke cried as his shoulders twitched. Kisa felt sad and hugged him even tighter. Just then, the doorbell rang. Kisa was overjoyed. She said to ke hurriedly, ¡°It must be Andrew and the others.¡± ke rushed over to open the door as soon as she finished. He did not even wipe the tears off his face. Gilbert was standing outside the door holding two kids as the door opened. He was stunned for a moment while seeing ke¡¯s red eyes. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ke stayed quiet and just stared at him closely. Gilbert smiled at him, ¡°Tell me. Who bullied you? I¡¯ll avenge you.¡± However, ke pouted as he leaped into Gilbert¡¯s arms and hugged his waist tightly. Gilbert was stunned and was a little for words. ke let go after a long time. He sobbed, ¡°I thought you wouldn¡¯te over.¡± Gilbert smiled and pinched his face, ¡°I¡¯ll definitelye since I promised.¡± He led the children into the house after he finished. Suddenly, an unpleasant and piercing sound came from the room after they passed through the entrance. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 667 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 667 Chapter 667 You Taught That Thing To Curse Me? ¡°Pig¨Cbrained! Pig¨Cbrained!¡± ¡®Pig¨Cbrained?¡® Gilbert¡¯s expression immediately darkened as he narrowed his eyes, his gaze instantly cast at the direction of the voice. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. He then saw a woman trying to stuff a rag into a parrot¡¯s mouth. The parrot screamed and shouted happily as it dodged about. Gilbert snorted, ¡°And here I was wondering why were you so kind as to invite me to pass Christmas Eve with me. It turned out you taught that thing to curse me, huh?¡± ¡°No, I didn¡¯t teach it that!¡± Kisa tried to exin. Oh, how she wished she had turned that parrot into a roasted fowl. Gilbert clearly did not buy that and said mockingly, ¡°Bah, you dared to teach it how to curse at someone, but you dare not admit the deed.¡± Kisa was speechless. She gave up trying to exin. The parrot was right. Gilbert was pig¨Cbrained. The three kids had already started ying the moment they stepped into the house. When Gilbert got into the house, he realized that the ce was a little deserted. He looked around the house and somewhat awkwardly asked, ¡°It¡¯s just you at home?¡± ¡°What? Is ke not a person now?!¡± Kisa retorted as she went to the dining table and away from him. For some reason, seeing this man after so long made her feel a little awkward. Particrly, the scene of them both being trapped in the cave was still fresh in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. Gilbert circled around the house and confirmed that Jensen was not around. He could not help but ask her, ¡°Where¡¯s he?¡± ¡®Didn¡¯t she say she would spend Christmas Eve with Jensen and Mia?¡® ¡®Why are she and ke the only ones in the house then?¡® ¡®Could it be that she wants to spend Christmas Eve alone with me? So that¡¯s why she sent Jensen and Mia away first?¡® Just as he was thinking about that, he heard the woman say tly, ¡°Jensen went back to Raworth. He said something about some work to be done. He¡¯ll be back after the New Year.¡± ¡°¡­Oh.¡± Gilbert gave a sullen response. ¡®No wonder Jensen wasn¡¯t around. I was the one who was overthinking things.¡® ¡°Uh¡­¡± Kisa still felt a little awkward. She then arranged the ravioli wrappers and asked, without even looking up, ¡°Have Andrew and Ada eaten?¡± ¡°They have.¡± ¡°Oh, I see.¡± ¡°But they had their dinner early, so they should be hungry soon enough.¡± Kisa was taken aback a little. ¡°Then let¡¯s make some ravioli and boil them upter?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± She did not expect Gilbert to agree so readily, and Kisa was again taken aback. When the three children heard they would make ravioli, they quickly ran over. ¡°Daddy, do you know how to make ravioli?¡± Ada leaned on the dining table and gave Gilbert a suspicious look. Gilbert snorted. ¡°Are you doubting your Daddy?¡± Ada covered her mouth and sniggered. ¡°Daddy, I can tell you don¡¯t know how to make ravioli.¡± Gilbert did not want to take that lying down, so he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to start straight away. Kisa quickly stopped him. ¡°Wash your hands. The three of you, too, wash your hands.¡± The children followed obediently as they went to wash their hands with Gilbert. Taking advantage of the time, Kisa tried to make a ravioli herself. Just as she stuffed the coin into the ravioli, to her dismay, she found that the wrappers had shrunk and could not wrap the coin filling at all. She smacked herself for forgetting that she needed arger wrapper for the coin ravioli she wanted to make. Fortunately, there was still flour in the cab. She quickly rushed into the kitchen and looked for arge stainless¨Csteel bowl. She then poured a packet of flour into it before adding water and started kneading. Gilbert looked at what she was doing in confusion, ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Kneading the dough, of course.¡± Kisa walked over and stuffed the bowl into his arms. ¡°You have the strength. You do it.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 668 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 668 Chapter 668 You Threw Yourself Into Me On Purpose Gilbert was speechless. ¡°Hurry up. I want to make the ravioli wrappers,¡± Seeing that Gilbert just standing there, Kisa could not help but to urge him again. The children could not wait to make ravioli already. Kisa then got them to test it with the store¨Cbought ravioli wrappers instead. Sure enough, aside from ke¡¯s pretty decent work, both Andrew and Ada had no idea how to make one. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Soon, Gilbert was done kneading the dough. He hid one hand behind him as he handed the bowl to her with another. Looking at the glistening dough, she could not help but praise him. ¡°Not bad, but¡­¡± She looked at the white soup bowl with the dough and asked, ¡°Why did you change the bowl?¡± ¡°Dough doesn¡¯t stick to porcin, so it¡¯s good for kneading.¡± Gilbert said with a straight face. Kisa did not doubt him and continued to ask, ¡°What are you hiding behind you?¡± ¡°Nothing. Gilbert turned around and walked to the living room. In the end, Kisa did not manage to catch sight of what he was hiding behind him. She frowned and thought that something was up. She ced the dough on the table and then quietly followed Gilbert. She then saw Gilbert squatting by the door, tossing the dough from the earlier stainless¨Csteel bowl into the garbage bag. The dough no longer looked like a dough, rather they looked more like flour slush. Kisa was speechless. When Gilbert tossed away the wasted flour dough into the garbage bag, he caught sight of Kisa. With a straight face, he told her, ¡°That dough is ruined, so I took another bag and made you a new one.¡± Kisa then said with a half¨Csmile, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me you didn¡¯t know how to knead?¡± Fortunately for them, she had an extra bag of flour in the cab, but what if she did not have extras? Gilbert responded sinctly, ¡°Did you even give me a chance to speak? Didn¡¯t you leave straight after handing the bowl to me?¡± The cat caught Kisa¡¯s tongue once again. ¡®Ah, forget it. This man will always have an excuse to deflect me whenever he does something wrong.¡¯ However, seeing that his second attempt at kneading went so well, she did not want to be calctive with him anymore. ¡°Let¡¯s go make some ravioli.¡± Gilbert was following behind Kisa, and she suddenly stopped and turned around. Sure enough, she bumped straight into his arms. Gilbert looked at Kisa with his deep gaze. It was as if to tell her you ran into my arms on purpose. Kisa straightened herself and stepped back from Gilbert¡¯s arms as she looked at him embarrassedly. ¡°You.. you have flour on your face.¡± Hearing that, Gilbert reflexively used his hand to wipe his face. As he already had flour on his hands, that wiping motion caused spots that were originally clean to have flour all over them. Kisa looked at him in exasperation. ¡°Wipe your hand first before you wipe your face.¡± So, Gilbert patted his hands together and dusted the flour off his hand before wiping the flour off his face. His action did not get the right spots and instead nketed his face full of flour. Kisa was left totally speechless. ¡°Ah, forget it. Let me help you.¡± As Kisa said that, she put one hand on his shoulder and tiptoed as she used another hand to slowly wipe the flour off his face little by little. When she got close, Gilbert caught the whiff of fragrance from her faint yet nice- smelling bath wash. Gilbert¡¯s gaze deepened, and his eyes subconsciously trained on her neckline. Her neck was very thin, and the slightly exposed vicle looked small and delicate. He was so entranced that he suddenly realized that he had never looked at her properly. Even if they had had such intimate contact before, he had never been familiar with her body. ¡°Gilbert Kooper!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 669 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 669 Chapter 669 So You¡¯re Still A Perv Just as he was engrossed in staring at her neckline, Kisa¡¯s angry voice rang out. He quickly snapped back to reality and looked away with a straight face. Kisa was both embarrassed and angry. She did not realize that this man was still a pervert. The three children made quite a number of ravioli using the store¨Cbought wrappers, but they were so strange looking that no one could recognize that they were ravioli without being told. Kisa then brought the rolling pin and a rolling board over. She put the store¨Cbought wrappers aside and said to the children, ¡°I¡¯ll be making the wrappers now, so all of you will be using the wrappers I made to make the ravioli, okay?¡± The three kids nodded at the same time. As Kisa said that, she took a coin from a small bowl and ced them together with the original filling. Gilbert said in disdain, ¡°Those coins are so filthy. Can you even eat it?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already washed them.¡± Kisa rolled her eyes at him. She then mixed the coins into the filling and added, ¡± Thoroughly.¡± This was the first time the children saw a coin¨Cfilling ravioli and their eyes glistened with anticipation as they watched Kisa make one. Gilbert smiled as he shook his head. It won¡¯t be fun when they bite into the cointer on. Kisa soon mixed the two and started rolling out the ravioli wrappers. Seeing that Gilbert wasyingzily on the sofa ying on his phone, she shouted at him, ¡°Weren¡¯t you interested in making them? Get over here!¡± ¡°You guys go ahead first. I¡¯lle overter.¡± Gilbert was looking at the ravioli wrappers guide on the phone and responded without even looking up. Ada immediately grinned at Kisa, ¡°Auntie, Daddy definitely doesn¡¯t know how to make ravioli. Let¡¯s not let him make a fool of himself.¡± ¡°¡­Oh.¡± Kisa nodded and patted Ada¡¯s little bun. ¡°And still, Ada¡¯s good. Look. Her ravioli may not look right, but it is well sealed.¡± Ada was embarrassed as she looked at ke and Andrew¡¯s handiwork. Although one could tell Andrew¡¯s ravioli were one, it looked more like seashells as theyy on the table. Only ke¡¯s ravioli looked the part as they were arranged neatly on the tray. Kisa quickly rolled out a few more big ravioli wrapper sheets. She then told the three, ¡°These wrappers arerger and much bouncier. Just make whatever shape you want.¡± ¡°Can I make a bunny?¡± Ada immediately asked. Kisa nodded. ¡°Of course, as long as you can make one.¡± So, the three took a sheet each and started to make ravioli of their favorite shapes. At this moment, Gilbert walked over. He sat beside Kisa, took two sheets, and ced them in front of him. Seeing that, Kisa immediately said, ¡°You might as well go back to the sofa. Don¡¯t you dare ruin my wrappers.¡± P 1- Gilbert snorted and then started to make the ravioli without saying a word. His fingers were long and his palms wide, and the ravioli looked rtively small in his hands. She saw him take a spoonful of filling and ce them on the wrapper. A few deft pressester, a full and beautiful ravioli was made. Kisa¡¯s eyes widened as she asked Ada with her eyes. ¡® Didn¡¯t you say your Daddy don¡¯t know how to make ravioli?¡® Ada, too was surprised. ¡°Daddy, since when did you know how to make ravioli?¡± ¡°There isn¡¯t anything that Daddy doesn¡¯t know!¡± The man¡¯s nose was up in the heavens, and he even deliberately ced that plump ravioli in front of Kisa. Kisa rolled her eyes and mumbled, ¡°What¡¯s so great about that? How about you try and make a tortelloni All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. then?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 670 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 670 Chapter 670 Fireworks She muttered in a low voice, yet Gilbert still heard everything clearly. The man smiled, his eyebrow raised as he grabbed another sheet. He took another spoonful of filling and put them onto the wrapper. A few deft finger movementster, a filled, very nice¨Clooking tortelloni appeared before everyone. Kisa was totally stunned. ¡°You learned how to make that before?¡± ¡°Do you even need to learn this? Just stuff that you can pick up with a nce. The man said so proudly and gleefully. Kisa snorted, ¡°Well, well, aren¡¯t you capable.¡± ¡°Daddy, teach me how to make a bunny.¡± ¡°I want to make a tortoise.¡± ke hesitated for a few seconds before chiming in, ¡± Uncle Gilbert, teach me how to make a cat, please.¡± The three children immediately surrounded Gilbert. Gilbert frowned and was speechless. ¡°A bunny? Tortoise? A¡­ cat?¡± Seeing the man¡¯s confused look, Kisa could not help but add salt to the wound, ¡°Didn¡¯t you just im to be omnipotent? Aren¡¯t those things you¡¯ll know with just a nce?¡± ¡°How are these animals the same as ravioli?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the difference? You can make them with dough.¡± Kisa smiled back at him. ¡®Just see how you are still gleeful after this.¡® Ada was excited. ¡°Daddy, I want to make a bunny!¡± ke wanted a cat, and Andrew wanted a tortoise. Kisa smiled teasingly, ¡°The children have high expectations of you. You are the person that knows anything and everything in their eyes. So, don¡¯t you disappoint them.¡± She wanted to see this man embarrass himself. Gilbert could tell what she was thinking and immediately took out his phone. ¡°Just you wait. I¡¯ll teach them how to make small animals soon enough.¡± With a few presses, some videos of making small animals with dough appeared. Kisa smiled and helpfully divided therge piece of dough into smaller ones for the children. The children were engrossed in making small animals. After they were done with making the tortoise, rabbit, and cat, they wanted to make other animals as well. Gilbert then found a few other tutorials on his phone and made all sorts of animals. She had to admit Gilbert was indeed smart. He could make those animals just by looking at the tutorial, and they really look the part too. ke¡¯s handiwork was good too, and his cat was pretty cute. Ada¡¯s work was average. Andrew¡¯s was a total disaster. With the children all making animals instead of ravioli, Kisa could only roll out the dough and make them herself. She was worried they were hungry. She made about twenty pieces and went to cook them. Along the way, she also took the animal¨C shaped pasta sheets and steamed them as well. Time passed very quickly, and by the time the ravioli were ready to serve, the bell rang 12 o¡¯clock midnight. A burst of fireworks suddenly rang out outside the window. The brilliant light illuminated the entire ce. For a moment, the children put down the dough and ran to the window to watch the fireworks. Kisa too quickly turned off the stove and ran to the window. Her ce was in the middle of the city, and the fireworks were set off at the center of thergest square there. From her location, one could clearly see the fireworks. The children were engrossed. The dazzling fireworks looked extremely beautiful as they reflected off their faces. Kisa looked at them; for some reason, her eyes inexplicably felt teary. This was the happiest Christmas Eve in her life. Even when she was young, even when she had her mother with her making ravioli, her mother¡¯s depression would often make the atmosphere dour, and it was never warm nor beautiful as it was at this moment. The light of the fireworks reflected on her face, and the trail of tears in the corner of her eyes was visible. Gilbert slowly walked behind her and looked up as he watched the brilliant fireworks as she did. Amidst the sound of the fireworks exploding, his low voice rumbled above her head. ¡°We¡¯ll spend theing Christmas Eves together.¡± The sentence was like a gentle whisper and also a resolute promise. Kisa lowered her gaze and did not respond. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. They had too many entanglements between them, and there were far too many variables in the future. Kisa could not give him a proper response. On the third day after the New Year, Davian sent word that he had found the whereabouts of the two female jailers. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 671 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 671 Chapter 671 He Dares Steal A Kiss From My Woman?! The two jailers were in a remote mountain vige and refused ever to step foot in Calthon ever again. So, Gilbert decided to bring Kisa there in person. Four days into Christmas, he told Kisa the situation, and she agreed to go with him on the condition they needed to be back before the middle of January. It¡¯s because the filming for Adrien¡¯s show will start after the fifteenth. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Aside from the filming, she was also a little worried about ke. Kisa had prepared some clothes and daily necessities for ke, but she looked at Gilbert and asked worriedly, ¡°Is it alright to send him to the Kooper residence? I¡¯m afraid your Grandma will¡­¡± ¡°Grandma will not mistreat him. He¡¯s good friends with Andrew and Ada. Grandma will like him.¡± ¡°But Grandma hates me, and if she knows ke was entrusted to her care by me, she¡¯ll¡­¡± ¡°She won¡¯t. Grandma has always loved kids and will not vent her grievances onto a child.¡± Since Gilbert was very confident about this, Kisa did not say anything else. In fact, she, too, understands Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s character. As Gilbert said, she will not indiscriminately vent her personal grievances upon a person, and she really likes children very much. Back then, when she had just married Gilbert, Mrs. Kooper Sr. oftenughed and told her to provide her with a great¨Cgrandchild as soon as possible. Thinking about that now, the once genial Mrs. Kooper Sr. was now a blurry memory. The kindness and love from Mrs. Kooper Sr. seemed like a lifetime away. As she was in a daze, ke suddenly tugged her hand, ¡± Aunt Kisa, just go with Uncle Gilbert. You don¡¯t have to worry about me. I have Andrew and Ada with me. No one will bully me.¡® ¡°Yeah, Aunt Kisa, we¡¯ll take care of ke,¡± Andrew said. Ada, too chimed in, ¡°Great¨Cgrandma loves Andrew and me, and she¡¯ll definitely love our friend as well. Also, ke is such a nice person. He¡¯ll definitely be liked.¡± The youngdy did not forget to praise ke and made thetter smile in joy. With Gilbert and the two children¡¯s assurance, Kisa¡¯s anxious heart could finally rx. She then asked Gilbert, ¡°Will Davian being along?¡± ¡°What for?¡± Gilbert suddenly spat disdainfully as if Davian¡¯s presence would interrupt them. Seeing that Kisa was giving him a weird look, he immediately borated, ¡°What I mean is, he has something to do at the start of the year, and also, he hadn¡¯t had much rest recently, so it¡¯s a good time to give him a few days off and give him some personal time.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°Then just get him to check on ke when he¡¯s free.¡± ¡°Got it!¡± ¡®This woman¡­ She¡¯s even more concerned about another person¡¯s child than her own.¡® However, ke was indeed likable, and it was a fact that he liked the boy too. Gilbert first sent the three children to the Kooper residence. Both he and Kisa made arrangements to leave at two in the afternoon. Before they left, Kisa still held onto ke anxiously and kept reminding him. ¡°It¡¯ll often be snowing nowadays. Put on more clothes, okay?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Cover yourself with a nket when you sleep. Don¡¯t turn the heater up too high. Remember to cover yourself properly, okay?¡± ¡°Yeah, got it.¡± ¡°Also, keep in constant contact. That way, I will know whether you are doing fine at the Kooper residence.¡± Gilbert could not help but to roll his eyes as he leaned by the side. ¡®Is the Kooper family that scary? Why is she putting it like the Kooper family is a den of vipers?¡® ¡°Come back soon, Aunt Kisa.¡± ke got up, tiptoed, and gave Kisa a peck on the cheek. When Gilbert saw that, his eyes went wide. ¡®That brat, he dares steal a kiss from my woman?¡® Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 672 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 672 Chapter 672 Shrouded in Mystery Kisa smiled and pecked him back on the cheek as she promised, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be back as soon as possible.¡± At this moment, Gilbert¡¯s eyes were even wider. ¡®Since when did Kisa ever take the initiative to kiss me? Never.¡¯ ¡®So, I¡¯m no better than that brat in her heart, huh?¡® The mountain region was remote, and there was no direct flight. After some consideration, Gilbert decided to drive there himself. That way, the time will not be too tight and will save them the hassle of swapping rides. He did not arrange for a driver and instead chose to take the wheels himself. As for the reason for this, he naturally wanted to use this opportunity to be alone with Kisa. Calthon was snowing for three consecutive days, and the entire city was covered in snow. The weather was cold, but the festive New Year mood still went strong. The streets were still adorned with New Year decorations. When they left the city, Kisa saw the lively atmosphere there, feeling a little lost and uneasy inside. This would be quite a journey, and she had a hunch that something bad would happen. Moreover, she found it strange that the two jailers had refused toe to Calthon. ¡®Calthon is a prosperous ce, so why did they hide in a remote mountain vige after the fire?¡® There were more and more mysteries, obscuring the truth from her like the fog. Adrien had said he wanted to help her look for the C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. warden, but he failed to find thetter after so long. ¡® Could it be that the warden is also hiding like the two jailers?¡¯ ¡®Or¡­ could the warden be dead already?¡± She shifted her gaze and looked at the man at the wheels. ¡°You¡¯ve been looking for the whereabouts of the two jailers for a while, I suppose?¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Gilbert nodded, saying, ¡°Davian personally looked into this. It was difficult. Finding the two jailers itself was grueling enough.¡± ¡°I heard that the warden also knows something about the fire.¡± Gilbert raised his eyebrow. ¡°From whom?¡± After the fire, the prison was abandoned, and all of the staff was dismissed. Back then, he did not look into this, and by the time he wanted to do so now, those people had long disappeared, more so the warden. It was one thing to be difficult to investigate with the passage of time, but when all of the rted persons started disappearing one by one, that was another thing altogether. He felt that some unknown force was behind this, and that force had prevented him from seeking out the truth of the matter. Sharon, however, does not have such a capability. As for who was behind that force, he could not find a single clue at all. Thankfully, he had found the two jailers, and if they could prove his innocence, then it¡¯d be good to eliminate this woman¡¯s resentment toward him. At this moment, he still bore such optimistic thoughts, but little did he know that the world had already changed so much. Kisa looked at his face for a while before saying, ¡°No one. I just feel that the warden might know something. Did you get Davian to look for his whereabouts?¡± ¡°I did, but he found nothing.¡± Gilbert gave a simple response, and Kisa did not probe further. When they reached the traffic light, Gilbert stopped the car. His eyes were drooping, seemingly a little tired. Kisa could not help but quip, ¡°You could¡¯ve just hired a driver.¡± ¡°And will his driving skills be better than mine?¡± ¡®This man is so shameless when he is so full of himself.¡® Kisa sighed, turned away, and ignored him. Sharon waspletely in panic. She was anxious ever since Davian started to look into the prison staff, and her entire Christmas holiday was in the gutters. Through Anthony, she had managed to find Adrien. And so, the proud and arrogant international megastar was now kneeling down before Adrien¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 673 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 673 Chapter 673 Old Acquaintances ¡°Mr. Tanner, please, you have got to save me!¡± Adrien leaned against the back of the chair. His long slender legs were crossed and folded together. Even when he was already in his fifties, the man still exuded a charm across his entire body. Amidst his mature charm was a streak of stern majesty. He looked down at the prostrating woman on the ground and, through her, seemingly saw her greedy mother and her despicable father once again. A look of deep disgust shed across his eyes. He took a puff and looked at Anthony beside him. Anthony held his arm as he said with an impassive face, ¡± This woman is afraid that Gilbert will find out the truth of the fire and take revenge against her. So she¡¯s begging you to help her.¡± ¡°Mr. Tanner, I only just found out that you bear a grudge against Gilbert and Kisa,¡± Sharon crawled before him and said anxiously, ¡°I beg you, help me. Do not let Gilbert find out the truth of the matter. If you help me, I¡¯ll do anything for you.¡± Anthony sneered as he then burst into aughing fit on the side. A tinge of disdainced hisughter. The disgust in Adrien¡¯s eyes had disappeared as he helped Sharon up with a kind look. ¡°Speaking of which, I¡¯m an old acquaintance of your parents. You don¡¯t have to be so reserved with me. Just call me Adrien.¡± When Sharon heard that, she said, ¡°Really? You know my parents?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Adrien let out a mysterious smile. ¡°However, I¡¯m afraid they do not remember me anymore.¡± ¡°They won¡¯t, they won¡¯t,¡± Sharon immediately shook her head. ¡°Adrien, you are so aplished and extraordinary. I¡¯m sure no one who had met you would forget about you.¡± Adrien took a puff and smiled as he said, ¡°I know what happened in that prison fire, including how the two children in Kisa¡¯s womb were taken out. I know all of it.¡± Sharon¡¯s expression changed, ¡°How¡­ how did you learn about it?¡± ¡°Ah, the chief warden told me.¡± Adrien spoke faintly, but Sharon¡¯s expression was already as pale as a ghost. ¡°The¡­the warden? He¡­he¡¯s still alive?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know whether he¡¯s still alive, but he told me about this a few years ago.¡± Sharon took a couple of unsteady steps back as she looked at Adrien in fear. Adrien smiled kindly at her, ¡°Don¡¯t you worry. I will not allow Gilbert to find out the truth of that fire.¡± ¡°But¡­ Gilbert is already bringing Kisa to look for the jailers involved in this.¡± ¡°So what then?¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m scared¡­¡± Adrien smiled and said, ¡°Just rx and go back. There¡¯s something niceing up soon. I assure you, the result will satisfy you.¡± Sharon was still worried, ¡°We really don¡¯t have to do anything?¡± ¡°Heh. Did Anthony not tell you the extent of my powers?¡± Anthony had naturally told her about this man¡¯s ability. Otherwise, she would not prostrate herself to beg for his aid. The man¡¯s confident look somewhat reassured Sharon, yet she still had some concerns, ¡°Mr. Tanner, why¡­ why are you willing to help me?¡± She was still afraid that the man would not help her when she came here. After all, this man did not have a good impression of her. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Adrien looked at her disgusting face and smiled deeply, ¡°I told you just now both your parents and I are old acquaintances.¡± He made particr emphasis on the word ¡®old acquaintances¡®. Yet, Sharon did not manage to glean anything from that. When she got out of Adrien¡¯s ce, Sharon still dared not rx. After all, Adrien had decided not to take any concrete actions. What if he was just fooling her? It seemed like Sharon could not entirely rely on this Adrien Tanner. She had to do something herself. As she thought of this, her eyes narrowed, seething with malice. Before dark, a car drove into a small town next to Calthon. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 674 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 674 Chapter 674 Put It On. Be Good. Kisa looked at the address Davian had given her, then looked at the remaining mileage and felt a bit of a headache. ¡°Is this address correct? Are those two jailers really in this little hilly vige?¡± The ce was called Hillsby, which she had never heard of, and could not even find on the Inte. Judging by the remaining distance, as well as the car¡¯s speed, it was hard to tell when they would get to Hillsby. And even if they got there, there was no guarantee that the two jailers would be there, and they might have fled. Gilbert found a more upscale -looking hotel and parked up, then said, ¡°The men Davian sent are still in thevige. They will inform me if there is anything.¡± As he opened the car door, a gust of old air rushed in. Gilbert quickly closed the car door back, rummaging around to find something to keep warm. But he found nothing. So he took off his coat and draped it on Kisa. Kisa frowned and subconsciously leaned back. ¡°It is okay.I¡¯m not cold. Keep it for yourself.¡± Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g ¡°Put it on. Be good,¡± he said with a frown as if it was anorder. Kisa relented, thinking she was not the one who would be freezingter. The two of them walked together into the hotel. It wasnot very big, but the decoration looked all right, and the lobby looked clean. Kisa adjusted the mask on her face and followed the man to walk to the reception. ¡°Are there rooms avable?¡± Gilbert asked, his voice lowand pleasing to the ears. The receptionist, a youngdy, was ying with herphone when she heard the voice. She looked up and wastransfixed for a couple of seconds when she saw Gilbert. It was as if she was wondering why he looked like a particr celebrity on the news. ¡°Are there any rooms avable?¡± Gilbert asked again. The receptionist snapped back from her thoughts andquickly said, ¡°Yes, yes. Do you want two single rooms or adouble room?¡± ¡°Single-¡± ¡°Two single rooms, please.¡± Kisa chimed in just as Gilbert opened his mouth. The receptionist nced at them with a strange look inher eyes. ¡°Please show your respective ID.¡± Gilbert immediately took out his identity card from hiswallet and handed it to the receptionist, who took it withboth hands. She took a look at the identity card, and her eyes widened. ¡®Gilbert Kooper? Is he the celebrity in the news? No way! How would a celebrity like thate to this little town and stay in a hotel that doesn¡¯t even have a star rating? Maybe he is just someone who looks like him and has the same name,¡® the receptionist thought to herself. She took a pen and wrote on the register. After that, she looked at Kisa. ¡°Please show me your ID, Miss.¡± Kisa hesitated. She was an actress and had much more exposure than Gilbert. When people saw Gilbert, they might doubt if he was really the legendary personage. But if people saw her and Gilbert together, they would, beyond doubt, know they were the CEO and the actress the media were talking about, which could create another publicity storm. Her new drama was about to start filming, and she did not want any scandals at this moment. ¡°Miss, your ID, please?¡± the receptionist asked again. ¡°I forgot to bring my identity card with me. Can I check in without having to register?¡± ¡°Our hotel¡¯s rules are such that it has to be one name registered for each room.¡± The receptionist looked in a predicament. Kisa looked at Gilbert for help, but he just looked on with his arms crossed in front of his chest, seemingly not intending to help. Kisa pursed her lips and said, ¡°Then I had better sleep in the car.¡± ¡°Come back.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 675 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 675 Chapter 675 Watch Where You¡¯re Going! ¡°How are you going to sleep in the car? Aren¡¯t you tired after such a long journey?¡± Gilbert said snappishly as he pulled her back. ¡®You were the driver and didn¡¯tin. Who am I to say I¡¯m tired?¡® Kisa groused in her mind but said nothing. Gilbert nced at Kisa and asked the receptionist, ¡°Do you have a suite?¡± ¡°Yes, we have.¡± ¡°I will get the presidential suite, the biggest one.¡± ¡°Okay. So, do you still want the single room that you have registered for earlier?¡± ¡°No. Just the suite will do.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± After checking in, Gilbert took his room card and asked the receptionist, ¡°Do you have room service?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. We don¡¯t have catering in the hotel, but you can order takeout.¡± The receptionist handed him a takeout order form. Gilbert thanked her and led Kisa toward the elevator. The receptionist could not help but nce at Gilbert for a few more times as he went. She found him so good¨Clooking,almost like a movie star. The hotel had only one elevator. As Gilbert and Kisa walked toward it, three young guys came out of the elevator. They had been drinking with one of them suddenly lurching toward Kisa. Gilbert frowned and quickly pulled Kisa into his arms and snapped, ¡°Watch where you are going!¡± When those guys heard this, they got offended and wanted to pick a fight with Gilbert, but when they saw Gilbert¡¯s stature and formidable aura, they cowered. The three young guys did not dare to say anything but left with resentment. Once out of the hotel, they got bold and talked loudly about what had just happened. ¡°s, that chick looks hot. Her coat couldn¡¯t hide her curvy body. I could almost touch her just now. But that guy managed to pull her away. What a shame!¡± ¡°I can tell that guy is not easy to mess with. I saw the man holding a room card that says 888; it is the presidential suite. He must be someone rich.¡± ¡°Come on, will rich people evere to our town? But you were right when you said he was not easy to mess with. I also somehow feel him look familiar. Have I seen him before?¡± ¡°Enough. I just met a sweet girl. Come, let me take you guys to check her out.¡± As soon as the three guys left, several bodyguard¨Clike men suddenly came out from behind a car. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡®Room 888?¡® There was only one room on the 8th floor, so Gilbert did not have to even look for it. He came in front of the room and as soon as he opened the door with the room card, a faint musty smell wafted out of the room. He frowned and stood outside the door, not going in. But Kisa did not mind it. To her, the musty smell was nothing. She had lived in a dank basement where it was way mustier than it was in this room. Besides, while staying in the basement, she had even asionally found geckos falling on her body while having a shower in the toilet in the summer. It scared the hell out of her at the moment, but now, when she thought back, it was no big deal. This hotel room was musty, but it was at least clean. The musty smell at least proved that there had been few people checking in this presidential suite. Kisa went in, took her coat off, then put it on with a hanger and aired it by the window, as her clothes had the smell of alcohol and smoke from the elevator. The suite had a living room and two bedrooms. They were spacious. She took a brief look around the room before getting ready to take a shower. When she left home, she brought a few sets of lingerie and carried them in her backpack, which was with Gilbert now. When she saw Gilbert was still standing outside the door and did note in, she could not help but walk over to him Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 676 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 676 Chapter 676 Men Are Also Fastidious ¡°Are you going to spend the night outside the door?¡± Kisa asked, reaching for her backpack. Gilbert avoided her hand and came in with the backpack anyway. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Kisa took a look at the doorway. Feeling nothing unusual, she closed the door. She always felt insured while being outside. After closing the door, she bolted it. When she turned around, she saw Gilbert fanning his nose with his hand, looking disgusted. Kisa grimaced with disdain. ¡°You should really experience life in a lower¨Cmiddle ss neighborhood, preferably the slum.¡± Gilbert smiled. ¡°I can also endure hardship. I just can¡¯t stand this smell.¡± ¡®Heh! All said and done. He is just being fastidious.¡® The room¡¯s windows were open, and the heating system warmed up the room. Kisa did not want to talk to him anymore. She just wanted to take a shower and lie under the covers. Besides, she had a pang of difort in her stomach, perhaps from eating something dirty. She carried her backpack and headed for the bathroom. Gilbert looked at the takeout menu in his hand and asked, ¡°What do you want to eat? I will order takeout.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat anything.¡± Her stomach was bloated so much that she could not eat, yet she had eaten nothing. After taking a hot shower, her stomach felt morefortable, and she did not feel as tired as before. When she came out of the bathroom, the windows in the room had been closed, and the room was warm. She did not feel cold even though she was just wearing a winter sleeping gown. Gilbert was sitting on the couch, studying the takeout menu. She went over to him and asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you think the musty smell is offensive? Why did you close the windows?¡± ¡°That smell isn¡¯t that noticeable after sitting in here for a while.¡± He handed her the takeout order menu. ¡°I have ordered a light meal for you. See what else you want.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that there¡¯s no need?¡± ¡°Eat something, at least. We have to travel tomorrow. Besides, the vige is remote, and there might not be a town along the way. If you don¡¯t eat now, there will be nothing to eatter when you are hungry.¡± Kisa thought Gilbert had a point. So she looked at the takeaway menu with her eyes downcast. She found that there were a variety of snacks avable, so she ordered some, nning to take them with her on the road tomorrow. The order had been ced, and they both waited for the delivery. No one was talking, and the atmosphere in the suite became awkward and boring. Seeing the TV remote control on the coffee table, Kisa picked it up and turned it on. She tuned in to a random channel just so that there was sound to make the atmosphere less awkward, but she tuned in to a children¡¯s channel now airing Barney and Friends. Gilbert nced at her and snickered. ¡°How old are you?¡± ¡°Who says this is only for children?¡± Kisa said expressionlessly. ¡°Okay, you won.¡± Gilbert shook his head in amusement. Kisa said nothing. She just felt that since the Kerrona Hill incident, Gilbert¡¯s temper had changed for the better, and he was treating her so well now that she could not be used to it. She thought he had probably been touched because she had saved him from the cave. But upon pondering about it, she found it was unlikely the case; she used to love him so much, with all her heart and mind, but he had never been moved. So she wondered why he would be moved this time. Just when she was still deep in thought, Gilbert suddenly grabbed her hand. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 677 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 677 Chapter 677 Leave You in the Vige ¡°What are you doing?¡± Kisa was puzzled. Gilbert said nothing, just preyed open her hand and then stared at the scar in her palm. The vine badly scuffed her palm when she pulled Gilbert out of the cave. The scar looked scary, but it was just a superficial injury. She recuperated at home, and it had healed quickly. Now, only some scars were left. Had Gilbert not looked at the scars now, she would have almost forgotten about it. She pulled her hand back and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It has already fully healed.¡± Gilbert looked Kisa in the eyes and was just about to say something when there was a knock on the door. ¡°The takeout must have arrived, right?¡± Kisa asked subconsciously. ¡°Sit tight. I will check it out,¡± Gilbert said. He was very cautious. He peeped through the peephole before opening the door, and even then, he only opened it ajar. Before long, he returned with a bag of snacks and some packed food. Kisa nced at the door to ensure it was bolted before asking, ¡°You are also afraid that something might happen?¡± Gilbert nodded, put the food on the coffee table, then sat across from Kisa and unpacked the food. ¡°Don¡¯t you think it is strange that all prison personnel involved have disappeared one by one?¡± Kisa stared at him with a frown. She felt it strange if he was not behind the fire and the disappearance of the prison officers. After all, she could not think of anyone other than him who could pull those off. Gilbert pushed a bowl of chowder and a pack of sandwiches in front of Kisa. ¡°Anyway, we had better be careful along the way.¡± Kisa nodded. Her appetite returned when she saw the dainty sandwiches. She picked two up and finished them in just a few bites. ¡°How long will it take us to reach the mountain vige at this rate?¡± ¡°Three days,¡± Gilbert ordered pasta and a few side dishes. He seemed hungry and ate half of them in a few bites. Kisa quietly pushed the food to him. ¡°No matter what, I must be back by the 15th.¡± ¡°Got it. Don¡¯t make it sound like I will leave you in the mountain vige.¡± Gilbert gave her a look. Kisa pursed her lips and stopped talking as she continued to eat the sandwiches, which tasted fantastic. There were two bedrooms in the suite so they could have their own separate room. Kisa went straight to bed after the meal. Gilbert was tired after driving all afternoon, so he did not stay in the living room for long as well. After the meal, he cleaned up the coffee table and went to bed. Kisa could not sleep well in the hotel room, probably because she did not feel safe. She was obviously tired, but she just could not fall asleep. Besides, her stomach was unbearably bloated, and she wondered if her time of the month wasing. Kisa tossed and turned in bed, feeling irritable as hell. Not after a long while was she finally about to fall asleep, but a faint noise woke her up. The noise was not loud, and the tingling sound came intermittently as if the shower curtain in the bathroom was fluttering in the wind and hitting something. There was a solid rod at the bottom of the curtain, and if the rod hit the wall, it would make a sound like this. She wondered if the window in the bathroom was left open. She took her shower in therge bathroom in the living room just now and so paid little attention to the small bathroom in the room. The rattling sound annoyed her. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. The bathroom was diagonally across from her bed, and the bathroom ss sliding door was not fully shut, leaving a gap of about half an inch. The room was notpletely dark because she did not draw the curtains all the way, as she felt safer with lighting into the room. She sat up and was about to check if the window in the bathroom was left open when she suddenly realized something was not right. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 678 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 678 Chapter 678 Help! Someone is Trying to Kill Me There was sparse moonlight shining through the window. She could vaguely make out shadows moving in the bathroom. She tensed up, and her hair stood erect. She did not dare to move a muscle but just stared at the bathroom, the door of which was just six feet from the bed. It was dark inside the bathroom, but she could see shadows moving. Kisa was nervous. ¡®This is the eighth floor. How could someone climb up here? What could that be? A thief? Or the killer who wants to stop her from finding the truth about the prison fire? It won¡¯te to the hotel to steal if it is a thief, not to mention that I have just checked in. If it is not a thief, then it is likely a killer.¡® Her mind was racing, and she looked on with bated breath before she carefully got out of bed. She did not even dare to put on her shoes but just walked barefoot on the carpet toward the door of the room. Two shadows came out of the toilet just as she reached the door. She was so scared that she covered her mouth. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. In the moonlight, she saw the glinting knives in the hands of the killers and felt chills running up her spine. She thought if she had not woken up, the two killers would have killed her in her sleep. The two killers went straight to the side. As the room was dim, and she was hiding in the corner by the door, they had not noticed her. If they found out that she was not on the bed, they would surely find her hiding in this corner soon. So she figured she had to get out of the room and find Gilbert as soon as possible. She gingerly reached the door handle while watching the two killers, afraid of making any noise. She could not see their faces but could only make out the glinting knives. The two killers also seemed worried about waking her up and thus moved slowly. When they finally made it to the side of the bed, they stabbed at the bed with their knives without needing to check if anyone was on the bed. Right then, Kisa pulled open the door and bolted out at once. As she ran out, she shouted, ¡°Someone wants to kill me! Help!¡± She shut the door behind her and ran toward Gilbert¡¯s room. Fortunately, Gilbert¡¯s room was not unlocked. She turned the door handle, and the door opened at once. As she entered, she locked the door behind her and leaned against it to catch her breath. She was still terrible even if the two people were not here to kill her but thieves. Gilbert¡¯s room was dark. As he had drawn the curtains, no light coulde through. A chill ran up her spine again as she could see nothing. The fact that the two killers could climb into her room from the bathroom meant other killers could also go into Gilbert¡¯s room the same way. Gilbert must have slept like a log for being so exhausted after driving all afternoon. If a killer dide in to kill him, he might not be alerted and wake up. She shuddered at the thought of the two killers holding knives and stabbing down at her bed just now. She had just shouted so loudly and should have woken Gilbert up. But she was now hiding in his room, and there was no sign of him. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She leaned against the door, not daring to move. The darkness and silence of the night infinitely amplified the fear inside her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 679 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 679 Chapter 679 I Thought You Had Been Killed She held her breath, stared at the darkness in front of her, and could not hold back her cry. She was trembling, her inner fear devouring her little by little like this endless darkness. Suddenly, there was a soft sound in the darkness. It was the sound of a switch being turned on, and with that soft click, the room lit up. Gilbert rubbed his eyes and frowned at her. ¡°What happened? Did you have a nightmare?¡± Kisa was transfixed, looking at him and forgetting all her movements. She was dumbfounded, tears still on her face, and she looked a bit wretched. Gilbert looked baffled. He was clearly half¨Cawake, his hair disheveled, his eyes groggy, and the thermal underwear on his body wrinkled. ¡°I was dreaming, and I heard someone crying. I listened carefully, and it sounded like you. Then I woke up and found that you were really crying.¡± Seeing that she stood transfixed in the doorway without responding, he could not help but smile. ¡°Why are you crying?¡± Kisa snapped back atst. With a lump in her throat, she said, ¡°So you are not dead. I thought you had been killed.¡± Gilbert rolled his eyes. ¡°Can¡¯t you say anything nice?¡± C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. ¡°Not that I wanted to say that; there really are killers.¡± Gilbert¡¯s expression turned stern instantly upon hearing that. ¡°There are killers?¡± When Gilbert took the knife and went to Kisa¡¯s room, the two killers had already left. Everything in the room was as usual as if the two killers were just a figment of Kisa¡¯s imagination. But the hole in the bedding pierced by a knife was a clear sign the killers were not a figment of Kisa¡¯s imagination or her nightmare. He rubbed the hole in the mattress with trepidation, realizing that he had slept too well and been careless tonight. ¡®If Kids had slept as soundly as I did, she would have been killed.¡® The more he thought about it, the more fearful he was. He turned to Kisa and said in a deep voice, ¡°You sleep with me for the next few days. Kisa said nothing. Gilbert went back to check the bathroom. The window was wide open, and it wasrge enough for an adult to climb in. He looked out the window. There was a tform below the window for the air conditioning unit, with one on every floor. But because there were ordinary rooms below the eighth floor and only one suite on the eighth floor, theyouts were different. So the tform below the window on the eighth floor was not directly above the one on the seventh floor. The killers should have climbed onto the eighth floor from the seventh floor¡¯s tform. Kisa stood in the bathroom¡¯s doorway, face pale, obviously still in shock. ¡°I should have switched rooms with you.¡± Gilbert was chagrined. There was no tform outside the window of his room, and it was difficult for the killers to climb into it. ¡°Had you switched rooms with me, you would have been dead,¡± Kisa said, relieved that they did not switch rooms. If Gilbert was dead, she would have been helpless. ¡°I was just too tired after a long drive. I rarely sleep this deeply.¡± Gilbert exined, looking slightly embarrassed. ¡°Who knows?¡± Kisa said, not really convinced. She had just shouted so loudly but did not wake him up. That meant he had low alertness this time, unlike the Gilbert she knew. Although the killers had left and she and Gilbert were unharmed, Kisa was still worried. She looked at Gilbert. ¡°Who do you think could have hired the killers to kill us?¡± Gilbert came out of the bathroom and leaned against the door. ¡°Needless to say, it is the real culprit behind the prison fire. Someone doesn¡¯t want us to find out the truth. ¡± ¡°Then won¡¯t the two jailers be in danger, too?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 680 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 680 Chapter 680 Probably¡­ It¡¯s Your Time of the Month ¡°No fear. Davian has four men over there, and I have long since instructed them to keep an eye on the two jailers and ensure their safety.¡± Kisa nodded and turned around to walk outside the room slowly. She felt a little weak in the knees because she was so scared just now. ¡°Are you hurt?¡± Gilbert suddenly asked, rushing up to tug at her arm, looking at her back anxiously. Kisa was puzzled. ¡°No, I was awake when the two killers sneaked in. I hid by the door so the two killers didn¡¯t touch me.¡± ¡°You are not hurt?¡± Gilbert frowned at the bloodstain on her pants. Something came to mind, and he suddenly had an awkward look on his face. Kisa saw his weird expression and asked, ¡°What is wrong? Is there something behind me?¡± ¡°N¨CNothing. I guess it is your time of the month.¡± ¡°My time of the month?¡± Kisa did not get it at first. She was transfixed for a full three seconds before she came to her senses and blushed. ¡®No wonder my belly has been bloated, and my body is aching today.¡® She knew her period was never on time. Thest time she went on vacation, she had prepared her sanitary pads just in case, but she never used them. This time, because she was in such a hurry, she forgot to get prepared when she left home. ¡®What should I do now, go out with a coat and look for a convenience store? It is freezing cold out there, and it is past two in the morning. There may not be a 24-hour convenience store in the town.¡¯ Kisa was so embarrassed of herself. She backed up, moved to the bathroom side, and said awkwardly, ¡°You go to bed. I will take care of it myself.¡± ¡°Then close all the windows. The killers know they have alerted us, and I don¡¯t think they wille back tonight.¡± Kisa nodded and said nothing. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Gilbert nced at her embarrassed face and got the hint. If you need anything, call me.¡± And with that, he went out and closed the door behind her. As soon as he was out, Kisa slumped her shoulders in relief. ¡®What should I do now? I couldn¡¯t sleep. Do I really have to wait until morning before I can buy the sanitary pads?¡® She went sitting on the toilet bowl in the bathroom. Her period was unpredictable, and when it came, it flew so aggressively that she felt as if she was bleeding heavily with each step she took. She had no idea when her period came because she had obviously not felt it when the killers came in just now. It was quiet outside the room. She did not know if Gilbert had gone to bed, and she would not expect him to go out to buy her the sanitary pads in the middle of the night. After all, he knew he would feel too embarrassed to buy sanitary pads. Besides, she also knew that Gilbert would not treat her that well. She sat on the toilet bowl and stared nkly at the window. The receptionist had fallen asleep at the desk at this hour. The hall was quiet, and the security guard had also dozed off on the couch in the hall¡¯s corner. Gilbert went to the reception, and she was not awake. He then tapped the desk with two fingers. The receptionist woke up and got to her feet at once. How may I help you, sir?¡± ¡°May I know which room is directly below room 888?¡± The receptionist looked at the room number on theputer screen. ¡°It is room 718.¡± ¡°Can you show me the registration information of the guest in room 718?¡± The receptionist hesitated. Faced with the handsome man¡¯s request, she was eager to agree, but she also did not dare to vite the hotel¡¯s rules because if something happened, her boss would deduct her pay this month. ¡°It is okay. I will just take a peek because someone just sneaked into my room.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The receptionist was taken aback. ¡°That can¡¯t be right.¡± Gilbert looked at her with a serious face. ¡°I suspect someone climbed up and into my room from room 718. So can I see the check¨Cin information for room 718?¡± The receptionist was a little scared now and quickly showed him the register. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 681 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 681 Chapter 681 It¡¯s My Wife The register showed it was a young girl who checked into room 718, so it looked like the killers had used a fake ID. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. The receptionist looked at his grave face and asked cautiously, ¡°Sir, did something happen?¡± Gilbert shook his head and returned the register to her. She put the register away, then suddenly remembered something. By the way, the guest in room 718 has just checked out. Just a short while ago. I almost forgot to tell you.¡± Gilbert sneered in his mind, ¡®They fled really fast.¡® ¡°I know. We are fine. You do not need to be afraid,¡± he said in a faint voice and then nced outside. ¡°Is there a 24- hour convenience store in this town?¡± ¡°There is one, but it is a little far.¡± ¡°Tell me roughly the direction.¡± ¡°Okay. You go out and turn left, then go straight some distance. You will see a junction. Turn right at the junction, and then¡­¡± The receptionist made the direction sound soplicated. But Gilbert could quickly simplify the information, which was turn left, turn right, turn right, ¡°I turn left, and finally turn right again. The weather was cold, so he nned to drive there. But the receptionist said that the street at thest two intersections was too narrow for a car to pass through. Just then, the security guard woke up. Hearing that he was going to the 24¨Chour convenience store, he kindly lent him his motorcycle parked outside. It was Gilbert¡¯s first time riding a motorcycle. He looked at the machine and was a little confused, not knowing how to operate it. The security guard kindly gave him a demonstration, and he quickly understood. He got on the motorcycle, nosed it onto the street, and then sped off. and The air temperature was a few degrees below zero, Gilbert felt the wind biting his bones. It was good that the motorcycle was convenient as he reached the convenience store within a few minutes. There was a table in front of the convenience store, few young couples were drinking and having supper at the table. Gilbert nced at them expressionlessly and then walked straight into the convenience store. The few young girls outside had not noticed him until he entered the store. ¡°That guy is so handsome, like a celebrity on TV,¡± one girl said excitedly. ¡°Yeah, he is simply stunning. ¡°Come on, if he were a celebrity, he wouldn¡¯t havee to our tiny town.¡± Three young guys were disdainful. As soon as Gilbert walked into the convenience store, caught the attention of the female store manager, who had never met such a handsome man before. When she saw Gilbert walking to the shelves of feminine products, checking out the sanitary pads, her eyes lit up, and she envied the woman for whom he was buying the sanitary pads. By just looking at the packaging description, Gilbert could not understand which was which, so he bought a pack of each brand and size. At the checkout, the female store manager said with envy, ¡°Few men are willing toe out in the middle of the night to buy this stuff for their girlfriends nowadays. Your girlfriend is so lucky.¡± ¡°It is my wife.¡± ¡°Oh, I wish you a lifetime of happiness together with your wife.¡± The female store manager put all the products into a stic bag and then gave him a packet of brown sugar. ¡°Women¡¯s stomachs get upset during this time. Make her some brown sugar drink, and she will feel much better.¡± ¡°Okay, thanks.¡± Gilbert smiled and also paid for the brown sugar. When he came out of the store, the few couples were still chatting. ¡°Lily, you made a lot of money today, eh? Just lending your ID card to those few people, you have pocketed two grand. Easy money.¡± ¡°Absolutely. How have I never encountered such a good thing in my life?¡± Gilbert was walking toward the motorcycle with arge bag of sanitary pads but stopped dead in his tracks when he heard the conversation. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 682 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 682 Chapter 682 ttered ¡°Lily, where are those guys? Could you ask them if they still need ID cards? I can lend them mine, too.¡± As the girl named Lily was about to say something, she up and noticed a shadow cast down on her. She looked was surprised to see a handsome yet grave¨Clooking face. Gilbert¡¯s aura was so powerful that the young guys and girls shut up at once when he came over. Even though he was carrying arge bag of sanitary pads, it could not hide his innate ssy persona. The young girls looked at him with admiration, while the young guys were disdainful and also fearful. Gilbert had just looked at a girl named Lily for a few seconds, and she had already blushed. A momentter, he asked faintly, ¡°The group of people who borrowed your ID card¨Chow many of them?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lily was transfixed for a moment and then quickly replied, ¡°I-I didn¡¯t count. Some of them were sitting in the car, and some were standing outside. I guess there were a dozen.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face instantly turned grave. ¡®More than a dozen? Those guys must have thought too highly of Kisa and me that they sent so many men.¡® Gilbert said nothing more and left. Even until he rode away on his motorcycle, those few young girls had note to their senses. And the few young guys only dared to ridicule Gilbert behind his back. ¡°That man is just a sanitary pad salesman. How pretentious!¡± Kisa was still sitting on the toilet bowl, and her legs were numb from sitting too long. Finally, she had no choice but to use a handful of paper towels as a makeshift sanitary pad. Even so, she did not dare to move around, let alone sleep. Just as she moved slowly to the window, there was a knock on the room door. It stunned her. ¡®Is Gilbert still awake? Does he have something urgent to look for me at thiste hour?¡® The door to her room was not locked, so she raised her voice and shouted, ¡°Come in!¡± As the door was pushed open from the outside, Kisa was wide¨Ceyed. Gilbert was carrying a sizeable transparent bag filled with packs of sanitary pads. She gasped in shock. ¡®Gilbert didn¡¯t sleep but went out to buy sanitary pads for me?¡® She was so ttered that she did not know how to react. Gilbert walked up to her, took out a pack of brown sugar, and then gave her the transparent shopping bag. ¡°I don¡¯t know which one you have normally been using, so I bought a pack of each brand and size, so you can just use the one you like.¡± Kisa nodded, bbergasted. She could hardly recognize the man in front of her, as she could not believe that he would go out to buy her sanitary pads. Gilbert gave her the stuff and left the room at once. She held the bag of sanitary pads in her hands and felt relieved. The only thing was that he had bought too many, which wouldst her a while. When Kisa came out of the bathroom, she had changed into a clean outfit. She now could no longer sleep after this incident. She thought Gilbert might still be awake, so she walked out of her room. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. The lights were on in the living room. Just as she had expected, Gilbert was still awake, sitting on the couch with a cup in his hand. The cup seemed to be filled with brown sugar water, and it was still steaming. He was stirring the content with a spoon, and when he saw hering out, he said, ¡°Come and drink this.¡± His voice was still the same as before, with amanding tone. But his tone was much better than before, not so cold and firm. Kisa She was not quite used to his transformation, and what he had done tonight was really ttering to her. She slowly walked over to him. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 683 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 683 Chapter 683 Thoughtful ¡°Thank you very much for just going out and buying those things back for me. I didn¡¯t know you were such a thoughtful person, even knowing to buy a packet of brown sugar. I¡ª¡± ¡°The store owner gave me this. I thought it was a waste to throw it away, so I made a cup and drank it earlier. Not bad. I feel warm now.¡± Words choked in her throat, and she realized she had overthought. ¡®No way a man like Gilbert, with his entric, unpredictable, and cold face, could possibly be so thoughtful to know this. It was already so nice of him willing to go out and buy me the sanitary pads. The way he treats me now is so much better than before. I can¡¯t be greedy to expect more from him.¡¯ The brown sugar drink had an exceptionally warming effect and relieved the pain in Kisa¡¯s belly. ¡°It is late. Why don¡¯t you go to bed? You have to drive tomorrow,¡± she said. Gilbert shook his head as he fiddled with his cigarette pack, seemingly wanting to smoke but hesitating. Kisa thought he was concerned about her, so she quickly said, ¡°Go ahead and smoke. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± She was not as weak as before when she could not even tolerate the smell of cigarette smoke, but Gilbert still did not smoke. He just put the cigarette pack into his pocket. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. He was silent for a while before speaking all of a sudden. ¡± We need to be extra careful for the next few days, and we must get to that mountain vige as soon as possible.¡± Kisa¡¯s grip on the cup tightened. ¡°What is wrong? Is it because of the two killers?¡± ¡°More than a dozen men areing to kill us this time.¡± ¡°What?¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°That many?¡± ¡°We have to be careful, regardless. Whatever you do, don¡¯t act alone.¡± Gilbert looked serious. Kisa tensed up and nodded her head vigorously. ¡°Okay.¡± It was almost 5.00 a.m. before Gilbert fell asleep. He did not go back to his room but slept on the couch. Kisa did not feel sleepy. So she took the quilt from the bed and put it over him, then sat down in the chair by the window to think about things. She asionally nced at Gilbert with mixed feelings. There had been attempts on their lives by some mysterious people as soon as they left Calthon, so it seemed that Gilbert had really nothing to do with the prison fire. This time, there were over ten killers, and the other party knew her and Gilbert¡¯s whereabouts like the back of their hand, and there were still a lot of unknown dangers ahead. So Kisa suddenly hesitated to go to that mountain vige to find the two jailers. Still, the fact that someone was trying to stop them from seeing the two jailers suggested that the two jailers must know something, and she might be able to unearth the truth about the prison fire from those two jailers. She was worried for the safety of the two jailers before she and Gilbert could get to them. She had doubts, hesitations, and a strong sense of anxiety. It dawnedte in winter. It was not until after 7.00 a.m. the sky waspletely bright. While Gilbert was still asleep, Kisa had quietly ordered breakfast. She had been up most of the night, and her face looked haggard. She went to the bathroom, washed her face, and then took another hot shower. She felt much more refreshed when she came out and had changed into outerwear, ready to head out. When she came out of her bedroom, Gilbert was already awake, and the breakfast she had ordered had been brought over and was sitting on the coffee table. He seemed to have just woken up and still looked groggy. He got up and said, ¡°I will go wash my face. You can first have your breakfast.¡± Kisa had been deep in thought at the window for so long. She clenched her hands when she saw Gilbert awake and quickly called out to him. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 684 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 684 Chapter 684 What Matters is His Innocence Gilbert halted in his tracks and turned to look at her. What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Do we have to continue to find the two jailers?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± Gilbert said determinedly. ¡°I said I would prove to you I didn¡¯t start that fire.¡± Determination and persistence filled his eyes. The truth was not important to him. What mattered to him was his innocence in her eyes. Kisa pursed her lips, not knowing what to do. Seeing the worry on her face, Gilbert walked up to her, held her shoulders, and whispered, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t let you get hurt on this trip.¡± ¡°But there are a dozen killers after us.¡± ¡°So what? I alone can take them all down.¡± Gilbert sounded as cool as a cucumber as if to assuage her anxiety. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Kisa pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. She knew that as long as Gilbert could not prove his innocence, there would always be something standing between them. He also knew this, which was why he was desperate. So she told herself that since she had already taken on this journey, she should not look back. It was 9:00 a.m. when they set off again. Kisa felt more secure with the sanitary pads and snacks with her. It was a small town, so they had left the town boundary in just ten minutes. Kisa looked at the map and saw they were heading all the way to the countryside. The rural roads in the suburbs were all in good condition, but nothing was around, not even a house. Kisa did not sleep wellst night. She was leaning against the window and looked at the deste scenery outside for a while before she started to feel drowsy. Gilbert gave her a sideways nce and said, ¡°If you are sleepy, recline the seat and sleep. I think we will get to that mountain vige at noon the day after tomorrow.¡± ¡®The day after tomorrow!¡® Kisa looked mopey. ¡°Think of this as a road trip,¡± Gilbert said with amusement. ¡®A road trip? He makes it sound so rxing. Do we usually need to be on guard against killers on a road trip? Do people usually take such a remote route while going on a road trip? Besides, people won¡¯t usually be in a rush with so much anxiety on a road trip,¡® she thought to herself. ¡°Why don¡¯t you have some bodyguards with you?¡± Kisa asked. ¡°I didn¡¯t know there would be killers.¡± Kisa was baffled at the mention of this. ¡°Why do you think the killers know our whereabouts like the back of their hands, and how do they know we are going looking for the two jailers?¡± ¡°What is there to wonder about? Since they can make all the relevant people disappear, they surely know that I am investigating the whereabouts of the two jailers. Besides, Davian didn¡¯t investigate the case discreetly. So it is not surprising that they know about it.¡± ¡°Do you think Sharon could be behind it?¡± ¡°Sharon doesn¡¯t have that much capability yet. Unless someone is behind her.¡± Gilbert shook his head and said confidently. Kisa also thought that Sharon was not that capable. She wondered who was behind Sharon. After thinking about the few people who could be more qualified than Gilbert for a long time, the only person who came to mind was Anthony, but Anthony was just a paper tiger in Calthon. Besides, Anthony and Sharon were not that close six years ago. There were too many things that Kisa could not understand. The more she thought about it, the more confused she got. With the sun shining brightly, she became so sleepy that she could not even open her eyes. She reclined the seat and fell asleep within minutes of lying down. The car¡¯s heater was on full st, so she did not feel cold at all. While she was still half asleep, she suddenly felt the car speeding up abruptly, and the vehicle swirled into a sharp turn, jolting her out of her sleep. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 685 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 685 Chapter 685 Pursued by Four Cars The car did not stop but swayed more and more sharply, like driving at high speed around S¨Ccurves. Kisa¡¯s stomach churned because of the constant sideways motions. She grabbed her seatbelt and subconsciously looked over at Gilbert, only to see him staring straight ahead, his hands rapidly turning the steering wheel. She knew something was wrong when she saw his face tense and focused. Kisa did not dare to disturb him but sat up straight with difficulty and looked in the rearview mirror. What she saw stunned her. Four cars were chasing them from behind. Two of the cars caught up and kept hitting their cars from behind as if to force them to stop. Kisa took a quick look at her surroundings. They were still in the countryside, with no people or houses around, not even a small vige. Kisa looked in the rearview mirror again and saw the four carsing at them from all directions. She could clearly see a few bodyguard¨Clike men sitting inside a car. She subconsciously shrunk back and used her hands to shield her face as she saw the car sway toward her. Just then, she heard Gilbert¡¯s grave voice. ¡°Sit tight!¡± Immediately after, she felt the car lurching and then heard a loud bang as if it had hit something. But the car did not slow down in the slightest. Kisa hugged herself and buried her head in her knees, feeling like she was being shaken out of her consciousness. A few secondster, the car was still driving fast, but there was no more aggressive maneuvering than before. It now drove at a steady speed. She took a breath and carefully removed her hands. The cars that ran parallel next to them were out of sight. She hurriedly looked in the rearview mirror again. Only to see two of the cars had crashed in the field, one stopped across the middle of the road, and one had crashed into the guardrail of the channel. Her heart was still pounding wildly. ¡°Are the killers stilling after us?¡± she asked. ¡°Not for a while.¡± Kisa was a little worried. ¡°We won¡¯t get to Hillsby until the day after tomorrow. What if the killers catch up with us again in the next two days?¡± Gilbert looked grave. ¡°We need to shake them off for good.¡± ¡°What do you have in mind?¡± Gilbert clenched his jaw and pursed his lips, saying nothing. Sometime after 2:00 p.m., he stopped the car on the side of the road. Kisa looked at the map and saw that the drive would take them through a small town for another two hours. It was dangerous to drive at night, and Gilbert was tired of driving. If they did get to that town before dark, the odds were they would spend the night there. Seeing that Gilbert was getting out of the car, she subconsciously asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡± C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Gilbert gave her a look and let out an evil smile. ¡°I¡¯m taking a leak. Do you want to join me?¡± Kisa took a breath and scoffed at him. ¡°Rascal.¡± Gilbertughed. ¡°I¡¯m a rascal? Then there must be many rascals in the world.¡± Kisa did not tangle with him but took the snacks in the back seat and ate. One good thing about this countryside was that there were public toilets at every distance, and she had already visited one earlier, so she did not need to use it this time. Gilbert walked to arge tree on the ridge to take a leak. When Kisa nced at him, he had already finished the business and looked over her way. Their eyes collided. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 686 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 686 Chapter 686 Taking a Bite in Tandem Gilbert gave her a wry smile as if to say, ¡°Look, you are the rascal, peeking at men taking a leak.¡± Kisa took a deep breath, then expressionlessly pulled back her gaze. She unwrapped the bread in her hand, then put it to her mouth and took a bite, only to find it tasteless. She rummaged in the bag again and found a cup of instant noodles. When she left in the morning, she especially filled a cup of hot water in a thermos, and she had not drunk it yet, so it came in handy now for making noodles. She unpacked the noodle cup, threw in a few packets of seasonings, and then filled half of the cup with hot water. The thermos was small, and after using the hot water to make noodles, little water was left inside. It was at this time that Gilbert came back. He did not get into the car but leaned against the door and smoked. Kisa put the rest of the snacks on his seat, so it was up to him if he wanted to eat them. A few minutester, the noodles were ready. She uncovered the lid and just took a bite when Gilbert suddenly spoke. ¡°What are you eating? It smells so good.¡± ¡°Cup noodles,¡± Kisa replied without raising her head and then took another bite. He bent slightly to look at her. ¡°Is it good?¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Have you never eaten cup noodles?¡± Kisa thought he was being a bit redundant in asking. ¡°Nope.¡± ¡®Fine.¡® Kisa had nothing to say. ¡°Do you have any more? Get me a cup,¡± Gilbert asked again. Kisa nced into the bag and said, ¡°There are still noodles, but there is no hot water.¡± Gilbert had no words. ¡°Why don¡¯t you eat the bread? There is quite a lot.¡± Gilbert rummaged through the bag and finally took out a cup of noodles. ¡°Give me yours.¡± ¡°What for?¡± ¡°Just give it to me.¡± Kisa had not enjoyed the noodles enough and did not feel like parting with them. But seeing Gilbert¡¯s furrowed brows and bossy look, she reluctantly handed over the cup noodle. He said nothing, just unpacked the cup noodles he was holding, put the noodles into Kisa¡¯s cup, then threw in the seasonings, too. Kisa had no words. After the noodles and seasonings were in, he put the lid on and smiled at Kisa. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t this be good enough to cook the noodles?¡± ¡°You can eat it even if it is not cooked,¡± Kisa said with a stic smile. Gilbert said nothing more. He ced the cup of noodles on the seat and stood outside to do some stretches. With indignation, Kisa looked silently at the cup noodles she had not finished enjoying. ¡®How could I eat the noodles again?¡¯ Before long, Gilbert got back in. He unlidded the cup and took a look; the noodles were done. He handed it to Kisa. ¡°Here you go.¡± Kisa stared at the cup in front of her and did not eat, thinking, ¡®Does he mean he wants to share the noodles with me, and we each take a bite in tandem?¡® Seeming to have read her mind, Gilbert said, ¡°You can have it first. Leave me what you can¡¯t finish.¡± Kisa gagged in shock. ¡®Isn¡¯t that like eating my saliva? Is he really willing to stoop to such a level? Forget it, forget it.¡® She found it unbelievable to even think about it. Kisa took two loaves of bread from the bag and said, ¡°You can have the noodles. I will eat the bread.¡± Seemingly to have thoroughly seen her distaste, Gilbert¡¯s face sank. ¡°Do you hate me a lot?¡± ¡°Am I supposed to like you?¡± Kisa faintly replied as she ate her bread. Gilbert gasped in exasperation as he tugged at the tie around his neck. ¡°Are you still refusing to believe I have nothing to do with the prison fire?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if I believe it or not. Aren¡¯t we about to find the truth?¡± Kisa smiled saintly at him, not wanting to argue with him now, but Gilbert seemed to be on her case already. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 687 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 687 Chapter 687 I¡¯ve Got an Idea ¡°You clearly weren¡¯t like that on Kerrona Hill. You said you believed in me and that I had nothing to do with that fire.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Kisa nodded her head and chewed her bread with a perfunctory look. Gilbert was fuming, frowning at her. ¡°What the hell do you mean?¡± ¡°Nothing. Aren¡¯t we going to find the truth? Why do we have to dwell on it?¡± Kisa stared at him, puzzled by his reaction, thinking he was angry for no good reason. He stared at the indifferent look on her face and suddenly let out self¨Cdeprecatingughter. ¡°Is it true that no matter what I do now, you will never change your mind about me, and you will always hold a grudge against me for sending you to prison?¡± ¡°What are you mad about again? Why are you talking about this for no good reason?¡± Kisa felt his emotions were a bit too erratic, and she could not stand it because he always got angry too easily. She asked herself what was so good about him she fell in love with himst time. Gilbert nced at her sullenly and then started the car without saying another word. The cup of noodles was left uneaten, and they had be mushy, soaked in the liquid. As the car went through some bumpy road surfaces, the broth in the cup swirled and looked as if it was going to spill from the cup at any time. So Kisa put the cup into a stic bag and tied it, then leaned back in her seat to fake being asleep. ¡®What a good cup of instant noodles! But he has ruined it.¡® She was still feeling sorry for her cup of noodles, which she had only taken a couple of bites. Not surprisingly, the car pulled into a small town after 5.00 pm. The town was much livelier than the previous one. It was not New Year yet, but the festive atmosphere was apparent. The streets wereC0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. lined with stalls selling trinkets and filled with pedestrians. In front of a few stores was a snowman wearing a red hat and scarf. The ce definitely looked carnivalesque. They drove past a bus station, where the traffic was congested. So Kisa could take a good look at the lively street scene. It was full of life. Looking at it freed her from anxiety. Many bakeries were selling appetizing pastries near the bus station. Kisa already got a little hungry by just looking at them. She wanted to ask Gilbert if he could pull over and let her buy some pastries, but he had not said a word, his face grave, apparently still angry since the fight with her earlier. So, she did not ask. Gilbert kept staring at the buses entering and leaving the station as if watching something. He was so engrossed that he did not even notice the traffic light had turned green. It was only when the car horn sounded from behind that he drove forward again. Kisa did not ask him if he wanted to stay the night in this town. Ever since their fight, the atmosphere between them had be dreary. He had said nothing, so she did not want to say anything, either. Gilbert drove around the town and ended up back on the main road, which was the busiest, with brightly lit hotels all along it. The sky waspletely dark now. He drove along the main road for a while before stopping in front of what might look like the most upscale hotel in town. But after he stopped the car, he just leaned back in the seat and did nothing. Since he did not get out of the vehicle, Kisa sat silently with him. She could do with sleeping in the car for the night, anyway. Gilbert did nothing but just sat there for a long time. Kisa thought she was really going to spend the night in the car and was reclining the back of the seat when he suddenly spoke in a deep voice. ¡°I have an idea of how to shake off those killers.¡° Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 688 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 688 Chapter 688 Let Them See Us ¡°Die¡± Kisa was bewildered and turned to look at him. ¡°What do you have in mind?¡± ¡°As long as they see us ¡®die¡®, they will stop pursuing us.¡± C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. ¡°Let them see us die? What do you mean?¡± Kisa was surprised and confused. Gilbert said nothing more, just unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. Kisa hurriedly put on the mask and followed him out of the car. This hotel was much bigger than the previous one. Even the lobby was crowded. With Gilbert¡¯s distinguished appearance, he really drew a lot of attention. Kisa followed behind him with her head bow; even with her mask on, she feared being recognized. Gilbert checked in a suite again this time. It was on the twentieth floor. Having the previous experience, Kisa checked all the ces in the suite to ensure there were no vulnerabilities the killers could exploit to break in. After confirming that everything was all right and that she could have peace of mind, she sat on the couch. Thinking about what Gilbert had just said, she could not help but ask, ¡°What exactly did you mean by that method you just mentioned?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s get something to eat. I will tell you exactly what to do first thing in the morning.¡± This made Kisa feel even more curious. But Gilbert had now picked up the takeaway menu and studied it carefully as if he did not want to talk anymore. So she also did not ask again. ¡°What would you like?¡± He asked without looking at her, his tone was slightly indifferent, a far cry from his attitude in the previous town. It was obvious that he was still angry. Kisa did not want to upset him, so she said casually, ¡± Whatever.¡± Gilbert threw the menu to her and said casually, ¡°There is no ¡®whatever¡® on the menu. Look at it yourself and order what you like.¡± Kisaughed sardonically as she found that Gilbert¡¯s attitude toward her had been erratic to the point of rendering her speechless. When he bought her sanitary pads in the middle of the night, she was like the woman he loved the most, the kind he loved with all his heart and mind. But this time, he sounded cold, even sarcastic, and she seemed to be his abhorrent enemy again. She took a deep breath and casually said the name of the item on the menu, ¡°Fries.¡± With that, she went to the bathroom. She felt she could not spend too much time with him, as conflict would arise once it was too long. She could not imagine how many conflicts there would be if they really lived together for the rest of their lives. While taking a hot shower, she thought again about the way of shaking off the killers that Gilbert had just said. ¡® What does he mean by letting the killers see us die? Is it faking our deaths in front of the killers? But those killers are not stupid. Will they really fall for it? Screw it! I will find out what he is up to in the morning.¡® When Kisa came out of the bathroom, Gilbert was sitting in front of the coffee table, staring at his phone. She walked over and found him looking at a map on his phone. The map was detailed, and he browsed and studied it bit by bit. She thought it might have something to do with how he would shake off the killers the next day. Kisa did not bother him and sat quietly on the other side of the coffee table. The takeout arrived and was ced on one side of the coffee table. There were chicken nuggets, fish fillets, fries, and also sandwiches. It puzzled her because, as far as she knew, Gilbert disliked sandwiches. But she did not think much of it and ate the fries silently. She could not finish them all and gave some to Gilbert. At that moment, he suddenly straightened up and looked at her. Kisa was startled and quickly exined, ¡°I can¡¯t finish them all.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 689 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 689 Chapter 689 Silence Abuse Gilbert said nothing. He pulled back his eyes and continued to study the map. Kisa wanted to ask him several times what he was studying the map for, words choked in her throat upon seeing his grim face. She did not know how long it had been when the man finally turned off his phone as if he had studied the map thoroughly. Kisa hurriedly got to her feet, expecting him to say something. But he still said nothing and did not even reveal anything about tomorrow¡¯s n. He seemed to treat her as if she did not exist. Kisa had no choice but to hold back his curiosity again. Gilbert put the phone aside, then silently ate the food on the coffee table, except the sandwiches ¨C it seemed that the sandwich was indeed ordered for her. She nced at him; he still looked sullen, not to be messed with. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Kisa pursed her lips and silently took the sandwiches over. She really liked sandwiches, especially tuna sandwiches. Gilbert was probably starving; he had gobbled all the food before she could finish her sandwiches. ¡°Keep all the doors and windows closed when you go to bed,¡± Gilbert said in an icy voice and went into the bathroom. Kisa nced at him as he went, so exasperated that she threw the cutlery on the coffee table. ¡®His temper is like no other since he is giving me a silent treatment, fine! I will y along and see who will blink first!¡® Gilbert had a quick shower. When Kisa was cleaning up the coffee table, he came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, but he walked straight into the room closer to the bathroom and mmed the door shut without even looking at her. She stared at the closed door, getting so peeved that she let out a sardonicugh. ¡®What an ill- tempered guy! I just can¡¯t understand what he is angry about. I just didn¡¯t share a cup of noodles with him. What is such a big deal about it?¡® After taking a shower, Kisa rechecked every corner of the room, especially the bathroom. The good thing was that there was no window in the bathroom of this unit but just a massive floor¨Cto¨Cceiling window in the room. She nced down from the window. She tensed up when she saw four ck vehicles pull up downstairs, one after another. A dozen bodyguard -like men got out of the cars and walked into the hotel. They did not look like the hotel¡¯s security guards but like the killers after them. Have the killers caught up with us? So quickly? Are they also staying in this hotel?¡® She subconsciously spun around and wanted to find Gilbert. But she was worried that he might have fallen asleep. After thinking about it, she took out her phone and sent a message to Gilbert. [Those killers seem to have caught up with us. Did you see them?] But after a long while, there was still no response from him. She thought he might have fallen asleep and so it might not be the best time to disturb him. So she went back to the window and observed the situation downstairs. Those men did note out again after entering the hotel. So she figured they must have checked in. She did not know what to do now. The killers were so close to them now that she was afraid she could not sleep well again tonight. Just then, there was a knock on the door of the room. Thinking that Gilbert was still awake, she rushed to open the door. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 690 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 690 Chapter 690 Go to Sleep, I Won¡¯t Disturb You As the door opened, Gilbert appeared in the doorway in a light gray fall outfit. Kisa quickly said to him, ¡°You¡¯re not asleep? Did you see the message I sent you?¡± ¡°Saw it.¡± ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you return my message?¡± Kisained. But she did not have time for this. ¡°I just saw four cars pulled up downstairs with a dozen bodyguard like men getting out of the vehicles. Do you think they could be the killers who are after us?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°So, what do we do now? They are catching up so fast, and there are so many of them, and¡ª¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you tired, Kisa?¡± Gilbert interrupted her with a frown before she could finish her sentence. Kisa was dumbfounded. ¡°I¨CI¡¯m tired, but those killers ¡ª¡® All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Why are you worried about them? They are humans, too; they need to sleep, so they check in at the hotel. Besides, this suite is airtight. Are you afraid they will crawl in likest time?¡± ¡°But-¡± ¡°This is the busiest part of the town. With so many eyes around, they wouldn¡¯t dare to do anything to you, even if you sit in the hall now and wait for them. So what are you afraid of?¡± He sounded impatient and upset. Kisa pursed her lips and stopped talking as she suddenly realized that no matter how worried, scared, and anxious she was, she was just making a mountain out of a molehill in his eyes. ¡°They only dare to strike on the outskirts where no one is around. Don¡¯t worry about it. I will get rid of thempletely tomorrow.¡± She could see that he was tired, which was why he was in such a ck mood, even his voice reeking impatience and grumpiness. Kisa lowered her head. ¡°Go to sleep, and I won¡¯t disturb you.¡± But he did not move, so Kisa subconsciously looked up at him. ¡°Is there something else?¡± ¡°Did you forget again what I said to youst night?¡± He frowned and sounded upset. Kisa was none the wiser. ¡°What did you say?¡± She did not remember him saying anything important to herst night. Gilbert took a deep breath and tugged at her as he brought her away. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Kisa subconsciously resisted. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say you would sleep with me for the next few days? Did you forget?¡± ¡°I, no¡­ Is it really necessary?¡± Kisa quickly waved her hand. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say they wouldn¡¯t climb up here this time? So, we don¡¯t have to sleep together, do we?¡± ¡°It is just difficult, not impossible. So sleeping together is much safer.¡± ¡°Is it really that necessary? They- ¡°Kisa!¡± Gilbert interrupted her, irritated. ¡°Can you let me worry less about you? Is it so hard for you to sleep with me? Are you afraid I would do something to you even in such a situation?¡± His voice carried a touch of mockery, and he furrowed his weary brow. Kisa was pissed. But seeing the weariness on his face, she choked back her anger and pursed her lips, choosing not to say anything. She would only look too pretentious if she talked too much. Gilbert nced at her and suddenly let go of her hand, then let out self¨Cdeprecatingughter. ¡°Forget it. I won¡¯t force you again. It is only for your safety, but you react as if I want to take advantage of you.¡± Kisa¡¯s face flushed with indignation. ¡°I didn¡¯t say that.¡± He grunted softly and spun around to go back to his room. Kisa stood in the doorway with exasperation. ¡®I didn¡¯t mean that way. I just felt it was not appropriate to sleep with him. It was he who misinterpreted what I said. Now, great! I look like the one who is at fault. Heh!¡® She stood at the room¡¯s door for a long time before carrying her quilt to Gilbert¡¯s room. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 691 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 691 Chapter 691 What a Mansiner Kisa was upset. She still had to think about the big picture. Those killers might not have climbed into her room from the outside, but there was no guarantee that they would not pick the lock in the middle of the night. Plus, she really did not want Gilbert to worry about her. After all, he had to drive during the day. She had once said she would drive when he felt tired, but he disagreed. Gilbert told her that killers were chasing them along the ? way and that her driving skills were not as good as his, so he was afraid that she could not escape in a car pursuit. Kisa had the same thought, too, so she did not insist. Gilbert was still awake, leaning against the headboard and ying with his phone. The room was lit with warm yellow light from the wallmp, the soft light making him look more affable, unlike his prickly attitude earlier. Kisa held the quilt and stood in the doorway. Seeing that he said nothing, she scuttled toward the bed. It was a gigantic bed, but Gilbert was lying at the center, so she did not know where she should sleep. But there was more space at the end of the bed. She nced at the man, then moved the quilt at the end of the bed to one side so that it freed up more space. Kisa put her quilt there and climbed up from the end of the bed. Gilbert was wearing headphones, seeming to be ying a game, and looking very serious. ¡°Heh! Didn¡¯t he just say he was tired and wanted to sleep? Yet he is ying a game now.¡¯ She despised him in her heart as she pulled her own quilt over her legs, then held the edges of the quilt, and slowly slipped under the quilt. She tried to be gentle and not make a sound because there was not much space for her to sleep, and she did not want to disturb Gilbert. However, as soon as shey down, she heard Gilbert¡¯s disgusted voice. ¡°No one has ever dared to point their feet at me. Kisa, are you going to let me smell your stinky feet? ¡®Heck! What a mansiner! How could she say such things to a woman?¡® Kisa¡¯s face flushed with indignation. ¡°It is your feet that stink!¡± ¡°Come here!¡± ¡°Go sleep on the floor! It is not like you are f*cking obese. Why do you have to take up the entire bed?¡± Kisa yelled angrily, even swearing. ¡®It was he who asked me to sleep with him. So why is he taking up the entire bed for himself? What the hell did he mean? Is he trying to y me?¡¯ He nced at her. Seeing her reddening face, he said nothing and just moved over to the side a bit, freeing up half of the bed for her. Kisa took a breath, and only then did she carry her quilt and move over. As shey down on his end, she moved as far as she could to the edge of the bed, away from him, and with her back to him. Gilbert nced at her slim back, then silently unplugged the headset from his ears and turned the phone¡¯s speakers on. The sweet and cheerful voices of children came through, reverberating throughout the room. ¡°Daddy! Daddy! I miss you so much.¡± ¡°Daddy! What are you doing now? When are youing back?¡± C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Kisa was transfixed when she heard Andrew¡¯s and Ada¡¯s voices. She slowly turned around and saw Gilbert and the kids chatting on a video call. ¡°Daddy will be back in a few days. Are you guys behaving at home?¡± ¡°Yeah, we are well¨Cbehaved. Uncle Kelvin and Auntie Gracie took us to the amusement park today.¡± ¡°Really? So you guys aren¡¯t running around, are you?¡± ¡°No, we have always been well¨Cbehaved.¡± ¡°Daddy, when will you and Ma¡¯am take us to the amusement park?¡± Gilbert was always gentle with the children. ¡°I will try when I get back.¡± Ada¡¯s merryughter came at once. ¡°Then pleasee back as soon as possible.¡± It was Andrew¡¯s and Ada¡¯s voices all the time. Kisa felt a bit anxious when she did not hear ke¡¯s voice. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 692 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 692 Chapter 692 Can¡¯t You Just Be the Ghost? Kisa tugged at Gilbert¡¯s clothes and whispered to him, ¡± Ask them if ke is okay.¡± But Gilbert ignored her as if he had not heard her. It was Andrew who heard her voice. ¡°Daddy, is Ma¡¯am next to you?¡± Kisa suddenly pursed her lips and did not make a sound. As they were lying in the same bed, she did not want the children to see it. Gilbert looked over at Kisa, who shook her head at him. Gilbert sneered at Kisa and said to Andrew, ¡°No.¡± ¡°Oh, I may have misheard it then.¡± Andrew continued. ¡± Then I will video¨Ccall Ma¡¯am. I miss her, too.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kisa was transfixed. Before she could react to it, her phone rang. It was a video call from none other than Andrew. As she sat up in bed, she was awash in embarrassment. She panicked and propped herself up on the mattress, but her fingers identally tapped the answer button, and Andrew¡¯s and Ada¡¯s smiling faces appeared on the screen, with Kelvin standing behind them. ¡°Ma¡¯am, are you with Daddy?¡± The smile on Andrew¡¯s face turned to suspicion as the phone screen faced Kisa and Gilbert. Andrew could see that she and Gilbert were leaning on the same bed. Those not in the know would think they were sleeping together like this every night. ¡± But why did Daddy say you were not with him?¡± Kisaughed in embarrassment. ¡°I heard you and your daddy on the video call, so I came to check it out.¡± ¡°Gee¡­¡± Kelvin responded with a long, drawn¨Cout end sound and a wicked grin. ¡°One minute, Gilbert said you weren¡¯t with him, and the next, Andrew was video- calling you, and you were making out with him. Heh, maybe only ghosts will believe you two aren¡¯t sleeping together.¡± Kisa felt embarrassed. ¡°Can¡¯t you just be that ghost?¡± ¡°Are you cursing me?¡± Kelvin was furious. ¡°How dare I curse you? I wish you a long life,¡± she smiled. ¡°Ma¡¯am, are you and Daddy together now?¡± Andrew suddenly asked. ¡°No,¡± Kisa quickly said. ¡°Then why do you two sleep together?¡± ¡°No, Andrew. Please don¡¯t misunderstand.¡± ¡°Misunderstanding my foot. Can what we see with our own eyes be a misunderstanding?¡± Kelvin chimed in and then smiled at Andrew and Ada. ¡°Just wait, and your Ma¡¯am will soon be your mommy.¡± ¡°Really, that is great.¡± The two children jumped for joy at once. Kisa put her hand to her forehead, upset by this All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. troublemaker Kelvin. She looked at Gilbert, expecting him to exin on her behalf. But he covered himself in a quilt andy down, saying, ¡°Go to bed early. Do not talk toote.¡± These words had definitely added fuel to the fire. Sure enough, Kelvinughed even more sardonically. ¡°I thought you said you two weren¡¯t sleeping together? I¡¯m afraid that you two have been sleeping together every day. Maybe the business trip is just an excuse for a honeymoon.¡± Kisa rolled her eyes and ignored Kelvin altogether. She asked Andrew and Ada, ¡°Where is ke? I haven¡¯t seen ke.

So she did not have to worry about whether ke would fit in with the Kooper family now. The boy was a real crowd¨Cpleaser everywhere he went. After talking to Andrew and Ada for a few minutes, Kisa ended the video call because Gilbert had fallen asleep, and she did not want to disturb his sleep. She put her phone on the bedside table and turned off the wallmp. Just as shey down, a wall of muscles leaned close to her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 693 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 693 Chapter 693 Back to the Days When We First Got Married Kisa was so tense that she dared not to move, but after Gilbert leaned over, he did not make another move, leaning against her. After a long while, she gradually eased up when he stayed lying just like that, and his breathing became shallow. She felt his body like a ball of fire, scorching her skin as his chest pressed against her back. When she first came in, she still felt a little cold because the heating in the room was not on a higher setting. But now, she was feeling hot. She could not help but move closer to the edge of the bed. If she went further out, she would fall down the bed. It did not help that Gilbert followed her and moved closer to her as soon as she moved away. Kisa had no words. She suspected he was pretending to be asleep. The air was still, and the only sound echoing in the room was the sound of breathing. She stared at the faint glow shining through the curtains for a while and gradually dozed off. When she was about to fall asleep, Gilbert suddenly muttered something. ¡°If those two jailers can prove that I had nothing to do with the prison fire, can you and I go back to the old days, back to the way it was when we were first married?¡± Kisa instantly became awake. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the same dark curtains. She was thinking about what Gilbert had just said. ¡®Back to the way it was when we were first married? But were they happy when they were first married? No, not at all. When we were first married, I tried all I could to please him, catered to his every preference, and waited for him toe home no matter howte it was. But how did he treat me? Other than hatred and being fed up with me, there was only humiliation. I will never want to go back to those heartbreaking and painful days.¡® While she thought, Gilbert suddenly said another sentence. ¡°If we can go back to that time, I will definitely love and care for you, not let you endure half a bit of harm and wrong again.¡± His voice was so low that it sounded like he was sleep¨Ctalking, but the tone was so determined that it seemed like he was making some kind of important promise. Kisa stared at the window where faint light was leaking through. She felt shocked as she found what he said too unbelievable. She did not know what was going on with Gilbert all this time. ¡®Has he really fallen in love with me unknowingly? But when I tried so hard to be his wife and loved him with all my heart, he never felt moved in the slightest. Now when I don¡¯t want to love and even hate him, he suddenly falls in love with me? If he loved me before, why would he send me to prison?¡® The thoughts lingered in her mind for a long while before turning into a soft sigh. She did not respond but slowly closed her eyes. She could not respond to the question he had just asked. All she could do now was just wait and see. Perhaps the two days of travel had exhausted her, or maybe because she felt more at ease with someone beside her, she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. In the darkness, Gilbert slowly wrapped his hand around. her slim waist. He smiled for a while, and it was a bitter one. He knew she was not asleep just now but did not want to answer his question. He leaned closely against her back, resting his chin on the nape of her neck. Gilbert moved very gently, afraid of waking her up. The satisfaction of holding her like this was something he craved and missed. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. The next day, Kisa kept struggling and shaking her head in her sleep. Suddenly, she felt someone stabbing her with a knife. She woke up with a shriek and bounced up on the bed. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 694 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 694 Chapter 694 His n Kisa¡¯s chest heaved violently as her forehead was covered with sweat. She hurriedly got out of bed and ran outside without any thought. Breakfast was here. Gilbert took out the food and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°You¡¯re awake. Come and have breakfast,¡± when he saw Kisa running out of the room. However, Kisa did not seem to have heard what he said and ran straight to the door to check the lock. Gilbert frowned slightly. ¡°Kisa, what¡¯s the matter with you? Why are you checking the door lock so early in the morning?¡± Kisa was still immersed in the nightmare that she had just had. She pulled on the lock and said, ¡°I dreamed that the killers picked the lock, rushed in here, and stabbed us with knives. It was scary. It felt so real; the knives they held are still engraved in my mind.¡± Gilbert leaned back against the chair and sneered, ¡°That dream happened because you keep thinking about it. Aren¡¯t you tired of worrying so much, Kisa?¡± Kisa ignored his snarky remark. She stood by the door for a while and tried to adjust her emotions. Gilbert nced at her, and his tone softened a little when he said, ¡°Wash up ande eat some breakfast.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell you what to do to get rid of those killers when we eat.¡± After washing up, Kisa saw Gilbert smoking a cigarette by the window, unable to guess if he had had his breakfast yet. She sat down at the table and took a bite of her sandwich. ¡°What¡¯s the n?¡± she asked. ¡°I was looking at the map yesterday and realized there are two ways to get to Hillsby. One is the usual path shown on the GPS, while the other is a little further away, passing through two towns.¡± Kisa listened silently to what Gilbert had said. ¡®Is he going to change the route?¡® she thought. ¡®Those killers are like wolves on a hunt. They¡¯ll definitely be able to catch up even if we change courses.¡® As she was thinking about it, Gilbert said, ¡°There are several towns in this county, one of which is Riverton. Starting from Riverton, we¡¯ll pass through to the next town, go through the suburbs, and return to our original route. I saw a bus that was heading to Riverton when I was here yesterday. I¡¯ll bring you to the station after you finish your food, and you can take that bus to Riverton.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°What about you?¡± she asked. ¡°I¡¯ll be going with our original n.¡± Kisa frowned when she heard that. ¡°Why are we splitting up? Won¡¯t the situation get worse if we split up? The killers will be going after us separately.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be luring them from the suburbs. That way, you can reach Riverton safely and wait for my arrival.¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Kisa frowned and said. ¡°They¡¯ll catch up no matter how well you try to distract them. There¡¯s no point in making such a detour.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I have to let them witness my death.¡± Upon hearing that, Kisa frowned even harder. ¡°You¡¯re going to fake your death? Do you really think they would fall for it?¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯ll depend on how great my acting skills are,¡± Gilbert puffed out smoke rings and said in a calm manner. Kisa felt a tight knot form in her heart. ¡®This is not just a matter of realistic acting skills; it¡¯s a matter of life and death,¡® she thought.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Speaking of realistic acting, wouldn¡¯t they find it suspicious if they saw that I¡¯m not with you?¡± Kisa said hurriedly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.

Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 695 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 695 Chapter 695 I Won¡¯t Wait For You Forever Kisa lost her appetite for breakfast. ¡°I think it¡¯ll be more convincing if I fake my death along with you,¡± she said to Gilbert in a serious tone. ¡°Are you sure you can fake your own death? I¡¯m afraid that you might actually die,¡± Gilbert sneered. The man looked at her and said faintly, ¡°You¡¯re not as fast nor as good at acting as I am. You¡¯ll only be holding, me back if we don¡¯t split up.¡± Kisa was speechless upon hearing this. She squeezed the sandwich in her hand, her heart feeling extremely uneasy. ¡°Eat faster. I¡¯ll bring you to the bus station after you finish. If my predictions are correct, those people will be tailing us as soon as we leave the hotel. There¡¯ll be swarms of people at the bus station. I¡¯ll take advantage of the crowd and let you go when the time is right so that they wouldn¡¯t notice.¡± ¡°So you want me to wait for you at Riverton. Shouldn¡¯t you give me a time frame for when we¡¯re meeting up? I can¡¯t possibly wait for you there forever, can I?¡± Kisa put down the sandwich and asked. ¡°Let¡¯s say¡­ Before it gets dark today. You can stop waiting and go to Hillsby alone by car if I¡¯m not there by the time the sky gets dark.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat once again. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why should we take the risk to find those two jailers? Why don¡¯t we just stay here in Calthon?¡± ¡°How can I prove my innocence if I don¡¯t find them? I don¡¯t care about anything as long as I can prove to you that I did not set that fire. As mad as I get sometimes, I, Gilbert, have yet to get to the point where I kill my own wife and children.¡±Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. ¡®So all he wants to achieve from this trip is to convince me of his innocence.¡® The persistence seen in Gilbert¡¯s eyes left Kisa speechless. She looked down at the almost untouched breakfast, feeling very confused. Gilbert did not say anything else; he just looked out the window and quietly smoked. After a long time, he finally finished his cigarette. He turned over to look at Kisa and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t feel like eating, then we should get going. We must use this method to get rid of them today. Otherwise, escaping from their siege in the outskirts would be hard. It was just a fluke that we were able to get rid of them yesterday since they had arge number of people.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and stayed silent as she got up to pack her belongings, which all fit into a backpack. Gilbert saw her carrying her load, zoning out, and he could not help but say, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s just for today. After this, we won¡¯t be in danger anymore.¡± ¡°After you arrive in Riverton, find a hotel. Don¡¯t walk around town unless it¡¯s an emergency. Just wait for me at the hotel.¡± Kisa lowered her gaze, pulled the zipper of her backpack, and said in a deep voice, ¡°I won¡¯t wait for you forever. Once it gets dark and you don¡¯t show up, I¡¯ll leave.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Gilbert said with a slightly bitter smile. ¡®She¡¯s indeed a fickle woman,¡® he thought. It was nine o¡¯clock in the morning when they left. Gilbert¡¯s predictions were correct; as soon as they drove out of the hotel¡¯s parking lot, four ck cars followed. The sun was shining, and many cars and people were on the street. Kisa looked back through the rearview mirror and saw a red and white car separating them from the four vehicles. The bus station was right past the traffic lights. ¡°You heard what I told youst night, right?¡± Gilbert suddenly asked. Kisa¡¯s attention was focused on the vehicles behind her, making her a little tense. Gilbert¡¯s question was so unexpected that she could not react in time. Seeing that she was silent, Gilbert asked again, ¡°I¡¯ll ask you again. If I could prove that I had nothing to do with the fire, is it possible for us to get back together?! Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 696 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 696 Chapter 696 The Separation Kisa looked at Gilbert¡¯s tense profile, not knowing how to answer his question. She felt like it was inappropriate to discuss the issue at such a critical moment. She did not answer, and Gilbert did not ask any more questions. Soon, they reached the intersection of the traffic lights. When the light was about to turn red, Gilbert stepped on the gas and crossed to the other side. Kisa knew he was, trying to get rid of the four cars following them so that she could secretly get off at the station in that brief amount of time. As they got closer to the station, Kisa still did not answer his question, and her emotions grew more and moreplex. She pulled the zipper of her backpack back and forth as if it would relieve her from the stress that she was under. There were a lot of people in the station. As soon as they crossed the traffic light, Gilbert pulled over and parked his car on onene at the entrance of the station. The entrance was especially crowded with people as the buses from different towns wereing and going there, dropping passengers off. Thus, the cars there were also in a jam. ¡°Get out of the car!¡± Gilbert urged when he stopped the car. At that time, a bus was already blocking their car from being seen. The intersection traffic light had yet to turn green, and the four vehicles had yet toe over either. It was the best time for Kisa to get out of the car. Kisa did not dare to take her time. She quickly got out of the car with her backpack on her shoulder. After she closed the car door, Gilbert lowered the car window and said, ¡°Remember, go to Riverton and stay at the best hotel you can find.¡± When the car window slowly closed, she pulled the strap of her backpack and hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯ll answer your question. I¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Gilbert had already driven off. He never got her answer. The car exited thene and soon merged into the main road. The traffic light they crossed together had also turned green. Kisa blended in with the crowd and saw the four vehicles chasing behind Gilbert¡¯s car. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡®He should be leaving the county and going to the outskirts next,¡® Kisa thought. She put on her backpack and looked at the rear of Gilbert¡¯s car in the distance, feeling a strong wave of anxiousness in her heart. The killers were chasing after Gilbert. She wondered if he could escape. Kisa stood among the crowd for a long time until the car waspletely out of sight. She then followed the mass to the station. The stationyout was straightforward; there was a ticket booth as soon as she walked in. There was no need to show one¡¯s ID when buying a ticket at the county bus station. Kisa stood in line and bought a ticket to Riverton. She passed the checkpoint and went in. There were several buses parked in a row at the station. A sign is hung on the window of each bus, showing their destination. Kisa found the word ¡®Riverton¡® and got onto the bus with her ticket. The bus was empty. There was no one else but her and the driver. ¡®There is still some time before the departure,¡® Kisa thought. She found a seat by the window and sat down. She stared nkly at the busy crowd outside the window, her heart feeling empty. She inexplicably felt disappointed that Gilbert did not get to hear her answer to his question. After thinking about it, Kisa took out her phone and clicked on Gilbert¡¯s number. She typed out a message, and after reading it, she felt like something was off. She quickly deleted the message and retyped it again. She then looked at the message, and this time, she hit the send¡® button. Kisa held onto her phone, waiting for Gilbert to reply, but he never did after a long time. ¡®He¡¯s probably driving and doesn¡¯t have the time to read my message,¡® Kisa thought. She then put her phone away and stared out the window, daydreaming. It was at that time that her phone suddenly vibrated. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she quickly took out her phone and turned the screen on. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 697 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 697 Chapter 697 Faking Death Kisa was disappointed when she realized it was just a spam text. She stared at her text history with Gilbert for a while; there was only the message she had just sent, while the rest was nk. She sighed softly, turned her gaze, and continued to look out the window. After waiting on the bus for more than ten minutes, several people went onto the bus one after the other. Kisa put on a mask and took out her earphones to listen to music. The bus finally started its journey at ten o¡¯clock. The seats were almost full at that time. Sitting in front of Kisa was a young couple; the girl was intimately leaning on her partner¡¯s shoulder; it looked peaceful and serene. Kisa thought of her youth when she saw this. ¡®Once, our school organized a summer camp, and Gilbert¨Cwho was a few years older ¨C tagged along, saying that it was for fun and to gain experience. We took the same bus at that time and miraculously sat together. I didn¡¯t sleep much the night before because I was so excited about the trip, so I fell asleep not long after getting on the bus. When I woke up, I was leaning on Gilbert¡¯s shoulder.¡® ¡®I remember very clearly that Gilbert had a stiff neck after that. He was so annoyed with my heavy head. Hmm¡­.. I guess Gilbert wasn¡¯t that bad after all. At least he didn¡¯t push my head away in disgust when I was asleep.¡± Memories were flooding into Kisa¡¯s mind, making it even more chaotic. She took a deep breath and looked out the window. The bus was already out of the county, on a small road in the countryside. There were ponds and clear fields on both sides of the road. It was winter, so there were no pops of vibrant greenery around. At a nce, outskirts were barren. Icicles and snow formed on the dead tree branches, depicting another type of beauty. Looking into the distance in the suburbs, Kisa suddenly thought of Gilbert again. ¡®He should be on the original route right now.¡® She looked at the map and saw that the route followed a long stretch of suburbia. ¡®How is he going to fake his death in front of those killers in that uninhabited suburb?¡® Her heart unconsciously tightened at the thought of faking death. Riverton was not far from the county. About half an hourter, the bus stopped at a bus stop. ¡°Riverton! Riverton! We¡¯ve arrived at Riverton! Please get off the bus if this is your stop!¡± The bus driver shouted. Immediately, many people got up and got off the bus. Kisa hurriedly picked up her backpack and exited the bus. As soon as they got off, the bus engine started again as it continued its journey to the next town. Kisa stood on the side of the road, nkly looking around. The town was much more rxing than the county; there were only so many people on the street. Kisa adjusted herself to the ce before walking along the road. Riverton was not a big town. After walking for more than half an hour, Kisa had gone through the entire main street. On her journey, she saw two hotels; one looked simple, like a residential building, while the other looked more ornately. Kisa asked a passerby about the hotels in the area, and they told her those were the only hotels in town. She then went into the hotel that looked fancier. ¡®Gilbert wanted me to go to the nicest hotel in Riverton. Maybe it would be easier to find me that way.¡® Content held by N?velDrama.Org. The hotel lobby was extremely quiet. There was only one person at the front desk, who was on his phone. Kisa did not want to show her ID because it would cause unnecessary trouble for a celebrity to disclose their identity. Moreover, she was afraid that the killers would be able to track her down through the hotel guest details. After thinking about it for a while, Kisa walked toward the hotel¡¯s front desk. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 698 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 698 Chapter 698 They Say Dreams Are the Opposite of Reality At the front desk was a woman who was in her thirties, swiping on her phone. When she saw Kisa coming, she gave her an eye roll. ¡°Single or double? Show me your ID.¡± Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. ¡°Oh, I forgot to bring my ID.¡± The woman frowned. ¡°We need ID to register you into the hotel system. No ID, no room. Go back home and grab it.¡± ¡°My home is too far away from here. How about I give you an extra seventy dors? Can you please help me check in?¡± The woman thought for a while and smiled as she said, ¡± Alright. How long will you be staying?¡± ¡°Just one night,¡± Kisa said. The hotel only had six floors, and Kisa chose the highest floor. The higher her room was, the safer she felt. After entering the room, she locked all the doors and windows andy on the bed, exhausted. After lying there for a while, she picked up her phone and clicked on the text history between her and Gilbert once again; it was still nk. Kisa closed her sore eyes and put her phone aside. ¡®Maybe he hasn¡¯t looked at his phone yet. What is he doing right now? Is he fighting off the killers?¡® On the outskirts, a concrete road with no end stretched between the canal and the field. A domineering off¨Croad vehicle was driving fast on the road. The four ck cars all rammed toward the vehicle from different directions. The vehicle was still trying to dodge at first. In the end, it deliberately slowed down and paralleled one of the ck cars. It then hit the car as if trying to crash it into the nearby field. At the same time, the three cars behind took the opportunity to m into the rear end of the vehicle. The off¨Croad vehicle swerved in a hurry. Whether it was because of how fast everything was happening or something else, the vehicle made a sharp turn on the road. After being hit by the cars behind it, the vehicle mmed into the railing of the canal. BANG! The railing shattered instantly, and the off¨Croad vehicle fell into the bottomless canal. ¡°Gilbert!¡± Kisa jerked awake from her dream. She was drenched in sweat as she struggled to breathe. It was still bright outside, and the sun shone through the window, illuminating the whole room. Kisa stared nkly out the window and realized that it was just a nightmare. She did not know if it was because of the stress orck of sleep, but she had been having nightmares for the past two days. Even though she had just slept, she was still exhausted. She got up from the bed with her wet clothes sticking onto her body, which made her feel extremely ufortable. She opened her backpack and went to the bathroom with a change of clothes. The fear she had from the nightmare finally dissipated when she ran herself a hot shower. She had just dreamed that Gilbert was dead at the hands of those killers. She hugged her body and thought to herself, ¡®Gilbert wouldn¡¯t die so easily, right? That man had escaped death so many times. This time should be no exception. I mean, they say dreams are the opposite of reality. There should be some truth to that statement, right?¡® At the Case residence, Sharon was throwing stuff at one of the killers angrily as she said, ¡°You jerk. I asked you guys to kill Kisa. Why did you kill both of them? Give me back my Gilbert, you b*stard! Give me back my Gilbert!¡± ¡°There was nothing we could do at that time. They were inseparable. You told us to kill that woman no matter what. You didn¡¯t tell us not to harm the man with her. So¡­ ¡°Get lost, you piece of sh*t!¡± Sharony on the sofa and cried. Carolyn came over andforted her. ¡°Who cares if he¡¯s dead? He doesn¡¯t treat you right. Even if he were alive, you would never be the future wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO. Why don¡¯t you take advantage of his death and quickly join forces with outsiders to destroy hispany? Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 699 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 699 Chapter 699 Rest Easy ¡°Mom, what do you know? I¡¯ve done so much for Gilbert, yet he died just like that. Then what¡¯s the point of me doing so much in the past?¡± ¡°Shush, quiet down. Are you trying to announce to the world that you sent them to kill him?¡± Carolyn quickly covered Sharon¡¯s mouth and spoke seriously, ¡°Listen to your mother. Let¡¯s not publicize this. Wait till the news outlets cover the news of that man¡¯s death, then you pretend to cry him a river.¡± ¡°But I originally didn¡¯t want Gilbert to die. I¡¯ve said before that I wanted to have him. Now that he is dead, what am I fighting for?¡± ¡°You idiot! As long as he was alive, he would eventually learn about all those terrible things you did back then. If that happened, it would be your turn to die. It¡¯s fine that he¡¯s dead now. You can rest easy in the meantime,¡± Sharon did not speak as tears fell. Carolyn hugged her and said, ¡°Listen to me. He¡¯s dead. To us, it¡¯s absolutely a good thing. Next, you should consider how to overthrow GK Pictures.¡± Sharon sniffled her nose pretentiously and nodded her head, ¡°Mhm. Since I can¡¯t get Gilbert, then I¡¯ll take over GK Pictures. Then it wouldn¡¯t be a waste of all the terrible things I¡¯ve done in the past.¡± During winter, the sky would darken especially fast. When it was six at night, the sky had totally ckened. Kisa looked out the window; the fear in her heart was expanding more prominent and more significant. The phone was silent. That man ultimately did not reply to her message. She could not help but call him twice on her phone just now. However, her calls never connected. She held her icy cold hands tightly. She felt anxious and confused. Something must have happened. Otherwise, it was impossible Gilbert¡¯s phone would not connect. After all, even in the outskirts of town, the signal would still be excellent in this modern day and age. She stared closely at the hotel¡¯s main entrance, hoping to see that man¡¯s silhouette would quickly appear. He had said that he would definitely look for her before nightfall. Yet now, the streetlights outside had turned on, but that man¡¯s figure had still not emerged. As she waited, every minute and every second was torture. She felt like a statue. She literally did not move a muscle waiting by the window until eleven o¡¯clock. One more hour and the clock would have made a Kisa could not wait any longer, especially remembering the nightmare during the day. She felt very flustered. She got up and wore her parka. Then, she wore her mask and hat then went out. In the town, there were not many people staying in the hotel. The whole hallway was silent. Kisa took the elevator and swiftly reached the lobby. The lobby had only a single person at the reception, with no security guard present. The receptionist was the same person during the afternoon. She walked up and asked the woman, ¡± May I ask if the outskirts are far from the town?¡± The woman gave her a nce and chuckled, ¡± Ha¨Cha, this whole town is surrounded by outskirts. Where are you talking about specifically?¡± That woman¡¯s single question stunned Kisa. ¡®Yeah, it¡¯s outskirts everywhere. Where would I go to find Gilbert, then? Especially since it¡¯s dark outside now, and I don¡¯t even have a car,¡¯ she thought. She dejectedly lowered her gaze,¡± Never mind.¡± The woman gave her a baffling nce, then spoke, ¡°I see that you¡¯re not from around these parts. You haven¡¯t eaten for a day. There is a barbeque shop that is still open right now. If you¡¯re still hungry, you can eat there.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Kisa thanked her. She turned around and walked to the hotel entrance in a daze. The weather was icy and the ground cold. Chilly winds blew through with desteness. Kisa slowly crouched down and stared at the empty streets vacantly. Thedy at the reception stared at her silhouette oddly. After a while, she curled her lips and shook her head, ¡± Does this woman have some sort of mental issue due to a breakup or something? She¡¯s not even scared of freezing to death by crushing by the door like that.¡± At this time, the temperature was freezing, but Kisa seemed to not feel the cold at all. Her eyes did not flinch while staring at the street. Suddenly, from afar, it seemed that a figure was walking toward her¡­Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 700 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 700 Chapter 700 Strong Perseverance Kisa shook all over. She quickly rubbed her eyes. The streetlights were dim, so she couldn¡¯t see clearly so far out. The figure seemed to be invisible. When Kisa rubbed her eyes to look again, the figure seemed to be gone. It was as if she had imagined that apparition just now. She was worried and anxious. She hurriedly got up, but her legs were numb because she had been crouching for, too long. She could not stand up at all and could only lean on the ss door. She anxiously looked in the same direction as earlier. This time, she really saw it. There was indeed a figure that was walking toward her. ¡®Is that Gilbert?¡® She gripped the center of her palm tightly, staring hard at the figure. Her heart tensed up, inch by inch. The figure walked very, very slowly. It had note over to her even after a long while. Kisa stared at him for a long time but still could not see his face clearly. She could only barely see that the person¡¯s legs were injured. When walking, it seemed to have a limp and hobble. Kisa could not wait any longer. She quickly walked toward the person when her numb leg got better. The numbness still was not better, ultimately. With every step, Kisa¡¯s legs were in pain as if being pricked by needles, so she ambled slowly. That person also strolled gradually. Hence, they were freezing in the cold wind for a long time before finally reducing the distance between them to only one or two meters. At this distance, Kisa finally clearly saw the person¡¯s face. It really was Gilbert. However, he was currently ridiculous, and there were blood stains on his face. He smiled at her, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say if I didn¡¯t make it back to look for you before nightfall, you wouldn¡¯t wait up for me?¡± Kisa endured the bitterness in her heart and smiled lightly, ¡°Yeah, I did say that I wouldn¡¯t wait for you, but I had to wait till daybreak to leave.¡± ¡°You¡¯re heartless,¡± Gilbert scolded jokingly, then walked toward her. This time, Kisa saw even more clearly. His legs were really injured. The legs of his trousers were dirty, and there were blood stains on his knees. He limped and hobbled, yet his dominating aura was still present despite his ridiculousness. ¡°Didn¡¯t I let you stay inside the hotel to wait for me? Why did you run out here?¡± He had walked up before her and tugged her hat slightly when speaking. Under the mask, she only had two of her eyes showing. Kisa noticed the blood on his hands, and his hands also had some dirt on them. Under close inspection, he even had his clothes wet, and mud was stuck onto his clothes too. ¡®In the end, how did he fake his death in front of the assassins?¡® The question pressed down on her chest; she held onto him and said, ¡°Let¡¯s return to the hotel first.¡± Sure enough, he even had his sleeves wet. Kisa still felt cold in such cold weather even though she wore her parka. Instead, he was wearing thoroughly soaked clothes. ¡®How did he carry himself here in this state?¡® Kisa wondered. She could not imagine how strong this man¡¯s perseverance was. ¡®It must have been difficult for him to havee back alive,¡® she thought. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. They slowly made their way into the hotel. This made thedy at the reception shocked to the point of dropping her jaw. Passing by the reception counter, Kisa stopped for a moment. Then she walked to the front of thedy at the reception, ¡°The barbeque shop you told me about just now, do they have a takeout menu?¡± ¡°They¡­ they do,¡± the receptiondy quickly passed the menu to her and then stared at Gilbert, surprised. Gilbert, even though seeming ridiculous yet was looking particrly eye¨Ccatching. Returning to their room, Kisa immediately removed his clothes from the bags, but only underwear was inside. She passed the clothes to him and spoke, ¡°You should take a hot shower first. Wait till daybreak, and I¡¯ll go outside and get you a fresh set of clothes.¡± Gilbert stared steadily at the clothes in her hands. After a while, he suddenly grabbed her wrists. With some slight force, he pulled her into his arms. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 701 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 701 Chapter 701 Being Alive is Good Enough Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Kisa¡¯s felt her heart tremble deep down and instinctively broke free from his hug. Gilbert¡¯s low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded above her head, ¡± Don¡¯t move. Let me hug you for a bit.¡± His voice had a heavy indication of exhaustion and exasperation from escaping death. His low and hoarse voice had totally lost its usual assertiveness, yet after hearing him say those words, Kisa really did not move. ¡°I thought that this time I¡­ truly wouldn¡¯t make it back, ¡°he lightly chuckled after saying the sentence. His tone was light and slow, but Kisa could feel how dangerous it had been for him. She pursed her lips and did not say a thing, nor did she ask a thing. She did not move and let Gilbert hug her just like that. His clothes werepletely soaked and brought a wave of harsh cold air. The chilly air seeped through bit by bit into Kisa¡¯s parka. This made her slowly feel the waves of bone¨C chilling coldness. However, she still did not push away the man hugging her from behind. She secretly clenched her hands by her side. Kisa followed him together to savor the precious silence. After an unknown long time, Gilbert finally let go of her.¡± You should go and order something to eat. I¡¯m going to take a shower,¡± Gilbert said. ¡°Okay,¡± Kisa nodded her head and watched him limp and hobble his way into the washroom. The back of her parka had a big wet patch made by Gilbert. She took them off and hung them over the heater¡¯s outlet. In the room, the heater was turned on for a while. As the temperature rose, Kisa did not feel cold anymore, even though she wore only oneyer of a sweater. She took the takeout menu and looked at it. It was filled entirely with barbeque options. She gave me a call and ordered some food that would be more filling. After ordering the food, she sat on the sofa, silently waiting for Gilbert toe out after his shower. Gilbert used to shower very fast. She did not sit for long before he came out. He washed all the dirt and mess off his body. He had changed into dark blue colored long johns. Coupled with his slightly wet and messy hair, his entire body oozed an aura ofziness. He still walked with a limp. The part on his knees had blood bleeding through again when he walked. Kisa started at his knees for a while and asked, ¡± Is your injury fine?¡± Gilbert tightened his lips and sat with her. He looked at her with a severe tone, ¡°My leg might be done for. I feel that it¡¯s hurt down to the bone. I¡¯m afraid that I will always be limping like this in the future.¡± Finishing his sentence, he stared at her expression without missing a beat. She was stunned at the start, then spoke softly, ¡°That would be fine. Being alive is good enough. With your wealth and status, even if you had both legs gone, you won¡¯t have to be afraid of not getting a wife.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face immediately fell, ¡°You¡¯re not worried for me even a little bit?¡± Kisa spoke calmly, ¡°Why should I be worried about you? Haven¡¯t you always proimed that you had amazing skills? Then wouldn¡¯t my worries be redundant?¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re not worried for me, why did you endure the cold winds to look for me in the streets just now?¡± Kisa slowly poured a cup of hot water for him and spoke calmly, ¡°I think you have misunderstood. I just went to the streets to buy barbeque to eat. Coincidentally I met up with you.¡± Gilbert¡¯s expression fellpletely, ¡± Kisa. You are freaking heartless.¡± Kisa poured herself another cup of hot water and took a light sip. Then she held the cup in her palm, looking at him, ¡°Was I as heartless as you were back then?¡± That one sentence shut Gilbert up and he could only huff. Kisa also did not want to argue with him. Since he has been through so much trial and danger to return safely,, shouldn¡¯t she give him a little care? It¡¯s just that he had a sharp tongue. His legs seemed to be a superficial wound. If it really injured the bone, how would he still be walking? He insisted on forcing his legs to limp. Hence, Kisa also said some sarcastic remarks to shut him up. His expression grew dark with anger, but Kisa calmly drank her water. Gilbert gave her a nce and asked through gritted teeth, Aren¡¯t you curious about how I escaped those assassins? Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 702 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 702 Chapter 702 Something Might¡¯ve Happened There Kisa looked at him, ¡± You speak, and I¡¯ll listen.¡± She was quite curious about how he had gotten into such a ridiculous state. However, she knew that unless he talked about it voluntarily, it would be a waste for her to ask. Seeing her indifferent attitude, Gilbert was so angry that he did not want to talk. Kisa also did not ask anymore. She thought when his anger had dissipated, he would talk about it himself. Two of them were in a stalemate for a while then the doorbell suddenly rang. Kisa was about to get up, but Gilbert was a step faster. He hobbled to open the door. It might have been Gilbert¡¯s terrible expression, but the delivery man¡¯s voice was trembling, ¡°Your.. the food you ordered. The total is 662 bucks. Just¡­ just 650 would be fine.¡± ¡°650?¡± C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. ¡°Ye¡­ yes,¡± the person stammered. Kisa rolled her eyes and thought, ¡®Gilbert, this man. He¡¯s scaring the deliveryman.¡± Kisa got up and searched through her bag for her wallet. She pulled out six hundred -dor bills and a single 50- dor bill, then walked a few steps to reach the worker of the barbeque shop staff. The deliveryman took the money without even counting it and scrambled away running. Gilbert held the things back to the coffee table. He took the still steaming hot barbeque out. When he saw the smaller bag inside the bag, he couldn¡¯t help but freeze for a moment. ¡°Howe the barbeque shop also sells medical supplies?¡± That¡¯s right, the small bag contained ointment, gauze, alcohol, and other simr stuff. Kisa walked over and said, ¡°It was me who called the barbeque shop people to help me buy it. The pharmacies are closed now, but as long as you¡¯re willing to pay a bit more, they¡¯re still willing to bring them here. Otherwise, you would think these things would cost more than 600?¡± Gilbert nced at her while his expression suddenly turned slightly better. Kisa ignored his gaze unnaturally. She stood up straight and grabbed a skewer of meat to chew in her mouth. Kisa then said, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t misunderstand. I was worried that your injuries would worsen. By then, it would impede our progress to Hillsby. Gilbert gritted the back of his teeth. In his heart, he wanted to harshly ¡®ravage¡® this woman again. This woman¡¯s mouth would never have anything gooding out of it. Gilbert might have been really hungry. He took a beef skewer and devoured it in a few bites. Even though Kisa had not eaten for a whole day, she did not feel hungry. She was already full just from eating a few breadsticks and meat skewers. She wiped her hands and took the medical supplies to bandage Gilbert¡¯s injuries. His arm and forehead had more injuries. Although the blood stains were washed away, it was obvious that there were many tiny cuts, especially on his arms. The knee had only one wound, but the wound was very deep. Hence, the blood had notpletely stopped. Kisa handled the injuries on his leg first. She used alcohol to wipe the wound and asked him, ¡°Are you sure the killers really believe that we¡¯re dead?¡± ¡°I crashed the car into the drain right in front of them. Besides that, I am sure I almost suffocated in the car. With all that done, you think they would still doubt it?¡± Gilbert was still eating the skewers, and he spoke of it lightly. Still, Kisa¡¯s heart could not help but tighten a bit. She smeared ointment on his wounds and asked him, ¡± Then how did you crawl out afterward?¡± The drain by the road when she rode in the car, she observed it. The drain was unfathomably deep, and the hillside was long and steep. It was no wonder he did not allow her to follow. If she had been sitting in the car as it crashed down there, she definitely would not have returned alive. ¡°I was worried those killers would be observing from above, so I held my breath in the car. In the end, I could not hold it in anymore then I picked up the hammer to break the windows to climb out. Luckily, the assassins had already left by the time I floated up to the surface. These injuries are from crashing into the railing by the drain,¡± Gilbert said casually, but Kisa was terrified upon hearing all this. ¡°However, we should get to Hillsby as soon as possible. Because¡­ I suspect something might¡¯ve happened there. Gilbert suddenly furrowed his eyebrows. Kisa¡¯s also felt nervous in her heart, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 703 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 703 Chapter 703 Would You Please Answer Me? ¡°When I was shing with the assassins today, my subordinates at Hillsby called over. They even called multiple times in a row. Due to the urgent situation, I did not pick up. By the time I crawled out of the water, my phone had been ruined. Hence, I suspect that something had happened at Hillsby.¡± ¡°Then what should we do?¡± Kisa followed up anxiously. ¡°When you buy clothes for me tomorrow, remember to buy a cell phone. Then get my phone number back. We can¡¯t get ourmunication with people at Hillsby to be disconnected.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Kisa furrowed her brows as an uneasiness surged in her heart again. Initially, they thought they had ditched the assassins. There would be no danger further down their journey, but who knew that something would happen at Hillsby. She swiftly bandaged up all his injuries and washed her hands with a heavy heart. Just as she walked out of the washroom, she crashed onto Gilbert¡¯s chest. She stabled herself and walked toward the side, but the man blocked her once again. She lifted her head, stunned, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°You sent me a message. I saw it,¡± Kisa¡¯s heart trembled, and she lowered her gaze without making a sound. She assumed that he did not see them. Gilbert stared at her without missing a beat at her lowered brows. He then spoke, ¡°You said as long as I woulde back, you would answer that specific question of mine. Then, would you please answer me now?¡± Kisa secretly gripped her hands by her side. Remembering the damage he did to her in the past, this man did not deserve forgiveness. But going through so much until now, the hate in her heart slowly changed. Especially following the nearing of the truth of the fire incident, her heart felt more and more contradictory. His gaze forcefully ushered her. His assertive tone did not allow her to shrink back, ¡°Kisa, would you please answer me?¡± Kisa shut her eyes slightly and opened them again. A decision was made up in her mind. She looked at him, ¡°If you really could prove that the fire had no connection to you, prove that you had no intention to kill the child in my womb and me, then, I will promise you that we can return to what we were in the past.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve got a deal,¡± Gilbert looked at her and immediately smiled as if getting an incredibly tremendous promise that was also worth expecting. His eye also had more glints in them. But Kisa¡¯s emotions were not as lighthearted. After all, the situation at Hillsby was still uncertain, and she was still clueless. The following day, Kisa went out. The people of the town woke up particrly early. When she had gone out, it was about eight o¡¯clock in the morning. The stalls at the market had already been set up. Kisa first went to the stalls to pick a set of clothes for Gilbert. Then only did she go to the phone shop. The phone shop also had backup SIM cards. She showed Gilbert¡¯s identification card, and the SIM card was given to her swiftly. When she got back, Gilbert had already woken up. He was wearing his set of long johns and waiting for her on the sofa. Actually, Gilbert looked quite attractive in the long johns. He seemed more home-like, entirely without his usual fierce demeanor. N?velDrama.Org content. She threw the newly bought clothes at him, ¡°Hurry up and get dressed.¡± She bought him a sweater, a ck jacket, and casual fleece pants. They were purchased at the stall and were very cheap. The coat was only 150 dors, and it didn¡¯t seem to be of good quality. She wasn¡¯t sure if Gilbert would like it or not. Anyway, Kisa did not care whether he liked it or not. She sat down by the side, eating bread by herself. She bought the buns from the market, and they were still hot. Gilbert, in a sh, had worn all the clothes on. He did not despise it, surprisingly. He pinched at the corners of the clothes and pulled them down while speaking to her, ¡°It fits perfectly and it¡¯s very cozy.¡± Gilbert was a natural-born model. Everything he wore seemed great. She saw that the jacket was very thick, so she bought it. But when she was buying the jacket, the stall owner asked her if she was buying it for her father. It seems that the coat was usually worn by middle¨Caged men. Yet when Gilbert wore it, it looked pretty stylish. Seeing his mood was not bad, Kisa replied quietly, ¡± It¡¯s great that you like it.¡± Then, she passed the phone to him, ¡± The SIM card has been activated and installed inside. I don¡¯t know if the people at Hillsby would call back.¡® || As she spoke, the phone suddenly rang. An unknown number had dialed in. She instinctively looked at Gilbert. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 704 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 704 Chapter 704 A Gang of Mysterious People Gilbert furrowed his brows while looking at her. He took the phone over. Gilbert then pressed the receiving button and turned speaker inode on. ¡°Mr. Kooper, finally I¡¯ve got you on the line. Yesterday, two of the jailers were assassinated.¡± Gilbert and Kisa¡¯s expressions changed drastically. ¡°I called you yesterday, but you didn¡¯t pick up. The phone calls wouldn¡¯t get through. Are you okay, Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. How are the two jailers?¡± Gilbert asked. ¡°The two jailers underwent an emergency medical operation. They are currently not in any danger.¡± Kisa heard this and could not help but sigh a breath of relief. However, the person on the other side said confusingly, ¡°However, the people who saved the two jailers were not our people. I¡¯ve done a background check on them but couldn¡¯t find anything.¡± Kisa¡¯s brows immediately furrowed together. ¡®That¡¯s odd; why would there be another group helping them? Could it be Jensen?¡® After thinking for a while, she felt it was impossible. Jensen was now at Raworth, and she had never heard of Jensen mentioning stuff about the two jailers. Furthermore, she did not tell Jensen that she was going to Hillsby. Hence, the group of people probably was not sent by Jensen. But besides Jensen, who else would help them? Gilbert had already finished his call with his subordinate. Kisa looked at him, ¡°Who do you think is this group of people helping us?¡± Gilbert squinted his eyes and spoke in a low tone, ¡°How would you know if the gang of people was helping us?¡± Kisa froze, ¡°They saved the two jailers. Isn¡¯t that helping us?¡± ¡°Hard to say, ¡± Gilbert walked to the side of the window and looked at the busy market outside. He spoke lowly, ¡± We should get there as soon as possible.¡± His face had a hint of darkness, as if he was worried about something. There were no cars in that town. Gilbert directly bought a standard vehicle from a private owner at a high price. His knees were hurt, so Kisa had to drive the car. There were no assassins after that, so Kisa was not afraid. The journey of the drive was very smooth. Due to being fearful that something else would happen at Hillsby, they did not stay for the night in the town and directly drove into the remote mountains. When night came, the car had reached the mountain area. Gilbert was worried that her driving skills were not up to par and scared that she was too tired. Hence, enduring the pain in his knees, he drove the car. The mountain roads were challenging to maneuver with meandering roads. Just a slight loss of focus, and the vehicle would tumble down that mountain. Kisa sat in the car. Her nervousness made her drowsiness disappear. Although Gilbert¡¯s driving skills were fine, he still had a worried expression on the road. He did not dare to lose focus for even a second. After driving in the mountains for a long time, the car made it into a small vige. Kisa looked at the time; it was already past two o¡¯clock in the morning. She looked outside. It was pitch ck. She vaguely saw the short, tiled houses with the light from the headlights. At this time of night, there were no pedestrians. asionally, the sound of dogs barking woulde through. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Gilbert parked the car in an empty space. They did not exit the vehicle. One, it was cold outside: Two, they were afraid of getting bitten by dogs. Gilbert made a call on the car, and quickly a man came over. ¡°Mr. Kooper, you¡¯ve arrived,¡± the man was so cold that he rubbed his hands. Gilbert gave him a nce and asked, ¡°What about the town jailers?¡± ¡°Follow me, Mr. Kooper,¡± the subordinate indicated. Now, they had to leave the car. Just as Kisa got out of the car, her hands were restrained by a big warm hand. She instinctively tried to shake off the big hand¡¯s grip. Suddenly, there was the sound of dogs barking furiously. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 705 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 705 Chapter 705 Concealed From the Eyes of Outsiders Kisa shuddered in fear. However, the warm, big hand grasped her even tighter. She gave it some thought and eventually did not fling the person¡¯s hand away. For some reason, Kisa felt a mixture of emotions as they got closer to the two jailers. The subordinate nced at them and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry,, Mr. Kooper. Even though the dogs in this vige bark loudly, they don¡¯t bite. They don¡¯t bite me when I stand still; they just bark at me like mad.¡± ¡®Barking like mad is pretty scary, too,¡® Kisa thought. The subordinate lead them a short distance through the vige. Then, Kisa saw a tile¨Croofed house with lights on inside. Gilbert¡¯s subordinates rented the tile¨Croofed house. There were three people standing in front of the house, and they seemed to be there to wee them. After Kisa and Gilbert went up, they greeted them. Gilbert spoke, ¡°Let¡¯s go inside.¡± In the middle of the house was a living room; it was simple and had little furnishings. There was only a stove heating up firewood to be used for heating. On both sides of the living room was a room each. The subordinate pointed to the room on the left and said to Gilbert, ¡°The two jailers are staying in there. Since they have families staying here in the vige, they weren¡¯t willing to stay locked up here at first, so we had to split ourselves into two teams to protect them. In the morning two days ago, we fell into the killer¡¯s trap. By the time we rushed over, the two of them were already injured. After that, we centralized them here to protect them. We also learned from them that they were saved by, a few mysterious people. Davian is confused, too. He said he didn¡¯t send anybody over.¡± Gilbert nodded and walked to the room on the left. Kisa was already standing in front of the door. She peered into the room for a while. The furnishings in the room were simple as well. There was only a bed, a curtain, and a table with food and water. The curtains separated the bed from the table, so Kisa could not see what was behind the curtains nor what the jailers looked like. The subordinate said, ¡°After regaining consciousness, they fainted again shortly after. However, the doctor from the vige said their lives were not in danger and that they¡¯ll probably wake up tomorrow. You¡¯ll have to wait for tomorrow if you have any questions for them, Mr. Kooper.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Gilbert nodded. Then, he turned to Kisa, ¡°Are you cold? Warm yourself in front of the firece if you are.¡± Just as Kisa was walking toward the furnace, the subordinate spoke again, ¡°The room on the right has already been tidied up, so you and thedy can go into to get some rest any time. There¡¯s also a firece inside to keep you warm.¡± ¡°How about the rest of you?¡± Kisa said out of reflex. The subordinate smiled, ¡°We need to take turns watching over the jailers, so we¡¯ll be fine. When we shut the doorster, the house will be warm.¡± Kisa did not speak. ¡°Thanks for your hard work,¡± said Gilbert. Then, he pulled Kisa to the room on the right. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Theyout of the room was exactly the same as the room on the left. There was a curtain that concealed them from the eyes of outsiders. The bed was tidy and neat. There was an extra thick cotton nketid on top. ¡®These men are unexpectedly thoughtful,¡® thought Kisa. Kisa was tired and sleepy. However, Gilbert was no better; he looked exhausted. He unfolded the nket and said to Kisa, ¡°You can sleep on the inside.¡± Kisa had no qualms about his suggestion, so she took off her shoes and jacket before crawling into bed. After all, she and Gilbert had been sleeping on the same bed for the past few days. Right after sheid down, Gilbert did the same on the outer area of the bed. Even though the two were sleepy, neither of them fell asleep after lying down. Kisa ced her hands outside of the nket and stared at the haphazard spiderwebs on the ceiling. ¡°Do you think the jailers will tell the truth about what happened in the fire years ago?¡± she asked. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 706 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 706 Chapter 706 Do Something Else That¡¯ll Help With Sleep Suddenly, Gilbert pulled Kisa to his chest. ¡°You¡¯ll find out tomorrow, so why worry so much?¡± ¡°But I feel uneasy. Something has been feeling amiss throughout our journey. Something¡¯s wrong, but I can¡¯t seem to put my finger on it.¡± ¡°I think you¡¯re overthinking because you¡¯re too anxious. Why don¡¯t¡­¡± Gilbert said as he gazed shifted to the neckline of her shirt, ¡°We do something else? It¡¯ll help with sleep.¡± The man smirked naughtily as he continued peering at the neckline of her shirt. There was a fire in his eyes that looked feral and came with a hint of suggestiveness. Kisa took a deep breath before shoving him away. Then, she turned her back to him. ¡®I¡¯m trying to tell him something serious, but he¡¯s always thinking about such things; we¡¯re on completely different channels,¡® she thought. The smile on Gilbert¡¯s face dropped a little. Then, hey t and cushioned his arm at the back of his head. ¡®She¡¯s feeling uneasy, but so am I. Right now, I can¡¯t even guarantee that the two jailers will speak the truth tomorrow. After all, a group of mysterious people appeared to save them. Not knowing what the mysterious people are up to makes me feel unconfident. It took me a lot to convince this woman to agree to go back the way we used to, so tomorrow, I need to prove that I¡¯m innocent no matter what it takes,¡® thought Gilbert. It may have been because of the warmth under the covers, but Kisa sleptfortably through the night. The room was bright when she woke up. Streams of blinding sunlight were shining in from the battered window. Kisa stared at the window and zoned out for a while before being reminded of Gilbert. She turned to her side to realize that he was long gone. Even the sheets were cold to her touch. ¡®Gilbert must¡¯ve woken up a long time ago,¡® thought Kisa. She nced at the time. It was nearly nine o¡¯clock. While hugging the nkets, she sat up and grabbed the sweater at the end of the bed. Then, she threw on the sweater. Suddenly, Kisa heard a scream of terror. She trembled in fear. She sped up her pace and quickly finished putting on her clothes. Then, she hurriedly ran out of the room. However, the was no one in the living room. The scream came from the room on the left, and that was the room where the two jailers were staying. Kisa quickly ran toward the room on the left. Just as she got to the door, someone grabbed her waist and pulled her into their embrace. Kisa turned around in panic. She came to the realization that it was Gilbert who was holding her. ¡°What happened?¡± Kisa asked in a tense voice while peering into the room. Only the edge of the curtain was lifted. Kisa could only see the messy bedding and nothing else. However, it was obvious the two jailers were inside. They kept on shrieking as if they were terrified of something. Gilbert narrowed her eyes slightly, ¡°They just woke up, so they¡¯re not exactly emotionally stable. Wait for a while. We¡¯ll go in once they¡¯ve calmed down.¡± Kisa nodded. ¡®That¡¯s the only option,¡® she thought. ¡°Don¡¯t kill me. All of you, go. I don¡¯t know anything; don¡¯t kill me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been six years. We really don¡¯t know anything, so don¡¯t kill us.¡± Behind the curtains, the two jailers mumbled in fear. Kisa turned to Gilbert. He had an incredibly tense expression. She pursed her lips and tugged on Gilbert¡¯s sleeve, ¡°Let¡¯s go outside. Your subordinates have spent a couple of days with the jailers, so they¡¯re more acquainted with them. Let them console the jailers.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Mr. Kooper. You and Ms. Becker can wait outside.¡± Gilbert did not move. Instead, he gazed at the curtain darkly. Kisa had no choice but to drag him out forcefully. Even though it was still during the day, the vige was still quiet. It seemed like there were not many people who were staying in the vige. Gilbert stood beneath the eave and lit a cigarette in annoyance. Kisa peered into the house before walking up to him, They¡¯re scared¡­ of you, right?¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I Gilbert¡¯s expression promptly darkened. Then, he gazed at her icily. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 707 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 707 Chapter 707 You Hooligan ¡°I wasn¡¯t the one who started the fire. I also wasn¡¯t the one who threatened to make them disappear, so why are they afraid of me?¡± Gilbert growled in annoyance. Then his gaze grew icy, ¡± What did you mean just now? Are you doubting me?¡± Kisa avoided his gaze and said tly, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean anything. But it¡¯s hard not to suspect you with how you¡¯re reacting right now.¡± ¡°What is there to suspect? Kisa Becker, whatever the f*ck you¡¯re trying to say, just say it to my face!¡± Gilbert was incredibly annoyed. He had a dark expression that looked as if he were about to beat someone up. Kisa took a step back and gazed at him darkly, ¡°I¡¯m not trying to say anything. As for the truth, we¡¯ll find out once the two jailers calm downter,¡± Kisa said. Then, she walked toward a stone on the training grounds and sat down. Gilbert peered at her back coldly. Suddenly, he turned around, and his fistnded on the wall. The wall was made of dirt, so his punch almost shattered the entire wall. Kisa watched his violent actions in silence. ¡®He¡¯s acting cranky and irritable as if he¡¯s afraid of something, but I don¡¯t want to think of anything at all right now. After all, the two jailers are right in front of me, so I¡¯ll draw conclusions after I speak to the two jailers. Pondering any further is futile,¡® she thought. Suddenly, she saw a few small figures from the corner of her eye. Kisa turned around and saw three children hiding behind a tile¨Croofed house nearby. Among the three children, the oldest looked at most four years old, while the youngest looked only two years old. They gazed at the tile¨Croofed house where the jailers stayed in fear and worry. Kisa recalled the subordinates saying that the two jailers had families in the vige and figured that they must be the children of the jailers. She got up and trudged toward the three children. However, the children immediately shrunk away in fear as she got closer. It was obvious that they were terrified. Kisa tried her best to form a friendly smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your mothers are fine. They¡¯ll be going home soon.¡± ¡°My mom used to tell my dad that she did something bad and that bad guys woulde to find her someday. Are you all the bad guys that she spoke of?¡± One of the older children asked her fearfully while standing a couple of feet away. Kisa felt puzzled. ¡®The bad thing his mother talked about, was it the fire in the prison? But if they were only aplices, I don¡¯t think they¡¯ve done anything wrong. They¡¯re just victims who were intimidated and threatened to keep their mouths shut. Unless they had also intervened in the fire,¡® she thought. While she was deep in thought, a broom was suddenly flung toward her. Kisa¡¯s expression promptly changed. She backed away hurriedly, and the broom barely missed her. The broom was swung backward and flung toward her again. In the midst of dodging the attacks in panic, Kisa saw that it was an old woman who was attacking her with the broom. The old woman¡¯s face brimmed with hatred as she attacked Kisa relentlessly. As Kisa continued backing away, her foot stumbled into a hole in the ground. She immediately lost her bnce, and she fell toward the ground in confusion. Fortunately, someone quickly caught her. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Then, a hand grabbed the broom that was about to hit her. Kisa turned around in shock and uncertainty. The person who had grabbed the broom was Gilbert, and the person who had their arms around her was also Gilbert. ¡°You hooligan!¡± Gilbert snorted icily before flinging the broom. Then, the broom instantly tilted to the side as the old woman toppled to the ground. ¡°Grandma¡­¡± ¡°Grandma¡­¡± The three children immediately surrounded the old woman. The old woman fell onto the ground. However, she was not hurt and continued ring at Kisa viciously. Kisa steadied herself and asked the old woman, ¡°Why did you attack me?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 708 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 708 Chapter 708 Who Was the Real Perpetrator ¡°You¡¯re all bad guys. Was making my daughter¨Cinw almost lose her life not enough? Now you¡¯re even trying to kidnap my grandchildren. Why are you outsiders so evil?¡± After hearing the old woman¡¯s words, Kisa immediately understood the situation. It turned out the old woman had thought Kisa wanted to kidnap her grandchildren. Gilbert said icily, ¡°Nobody¡¯s kidnapping your grandchildren. Another thing, once I get the answers that I want, your two daughters¨Cinw will return safely.¡± ¡°Go rot in hell, you bad guys! Ever since you all came, our vige hasn¡¯t been peaceful. Get lost!¡± The old woman¡¯s shouts quickly attracted the other vigers. Kisa nced at the vigers. Most of them were women, children, and the elderly; few of them were young or strong men. Gilbert ignored the old woman¡¯s insults. He also ignored the fearful and repulsive gazes of the vigers. Then, he held Kisa by the shoulder and walked toward the house¡¯s entrance. A few of Gilbert¡¯s subordinates wanted to challenge the old woman. However, Gilbert stopped them. ¡°Let her be. She¡¯ll leave once she gets tired of yelling,¡± he said. Then, he turned to Kisa. His annoyance and violent temper had subsided. There was only worry on his face. ¡°Are you alright? Did you sprain your foot?¡± Since Kisa still did not know the truth, the concern on Gilbert¡¯s made her feel a little confused. The reactions of the two jailers when they saw him made her feel a little suspicious and afraid. Kisa flicked his hand aside, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Thanks for helping me just now. The woman¡¯s seemingly intentionally distant actions made him feel annoyed once more. He turned to his subordinate, ¡°How are the two jailers?¡± ¡°They¡¯re better now. You can go in and try asking them questions.¡± Gilbert looked at Kisa as if he were asking for her opinions. Kisa pursed her lips, ¡°Let¡¯s go in then.¡± ¡®After all, waiting around is not the solution. Since we worked hard to get to where we are, we should ask them some questions,¡® she thought. The two jailers were sitting on the bed. Kisa nced at the two and had no recollection of them. After all, there had been quite a lot of jailers back then. Moreover, she did not stay in prison for long. The two jailers had dark, yellow skin. It was hard to tell how old they were. Kisa stood a couple of feet from them. Meanwhile, Gilbert leaned on a wall that was across them. The two jailers seemed to be afraid of Gilbert. When they looked at him, their gaze was constantly avoidant and apanied by evident fear. Kisa was confused at their reaction. ¡®They have no reason to be this afraid of Gilbert unless he was the one who threatened to make them disappear,¡® she thought. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. The more Kisa thought about it, the more troubled she felt. She decided to get straight to the point and asked, ¡°Do you recall the fire that happened at Calthon¡¯s West Suburban Women¡¯s Prison six years ago?¡± The two jailers evidently shuddered when they heard the fire being mentioned. Kisa¡¯s gaze darkened. She continued, ¡°Who was the real perpetrator who set the fire back then?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t know a thing,¡± one of the jailers promptly covered her ears while shaking her head violently. She had a look of terror. Meanwhile, the other jailer wrapped her arms around herself while shaking her head repeatedly. Kisa gritted her teeth. ¡®Judging from their reactions, it¡¯s possible that they don¡¯t know. They¡¯re still unwilling to say a thing even though it¡¯s been years. How terrifying is this person who threatened them, to make them this scared?¡® wondered Kisa. Gilbert had lost his patience long ago. He flung the cigarette butt to the ground before crushing it under his feet. Then, he strode toward the two jailers. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 709 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 709 Chapter 709 The Words That Made Me Hate You Gilbert grabbed one of the jailers by the cor. He lifted the frail woman¡¯s frame instantly, ¡°You¡¯d better hurry up and tell the truth about what happened during the fire back then. Otherwise, you best believe I¡¯ll tten your vige to nothing!¡± The jailers visibly cowered. Then, Gilbert flung the jailer aside roughly. He crossed his arms while standing aside, ¡°Another thing, the two of you better be telling the truth.¡± Gilbert¡¯s expression was extremely ruthless and cold. The two jailers were terrified. One of the jailers said hurriedly, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you. I¡¯ll tell you¡­ But I don¡¯t know much about the fire back then.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We don¡¯t know much about it.¡± ¡°Then tell me everything you know,¡± Gilbert responded icily. However, Kisa instantly furrowed her brows. ¡°Why do the voices of these jailers sound a little familiar? She quietly dug her nails into her palms as she recalled the fire that had happened back then. ¡°Hold on¡­ There are a few lines I want you two to say after me.¡± Gilbert looked at her quizzically, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Kisa ignored him and continued staring at the two jailers fixedly. The jailers replied fearfully, ¡°What¡­ What lines?¡± Kisa uttered the words that made her give in to despair. ¡°Mind your own business. Mr. Kooper clearly said that he wants to leave her here to die.¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper also said that idents happen everywhere every day, so it won¡¯te as a surprise if she dies in prison one day.¡± ¡°Oh! So you mean¡­ The fire¡­¡® ¡°Shush. Let¡¯s just keep it to ourselves.¡± The two jailers paled after hearing Kisa¡¯s words. They pointed at Kisa in horror, ¡°Y¨CYou¡­ You¡¯re¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m the pregnant woman you two locked in the prison cell and left to burn alive in the fire. What¡¯s the matter? Do you not recognize me?¡± Seeing their reactions, Kisa was certain the two were the jailers talking outside her cell. Their conversation had made her give in to despair and was deeply etched in her mind, so she had even memorized the voices of the people talking. Gilbert¡¯s expression was terrifyingly dark. He gripped Kisa¡¯s shoulders and asked in a panic, ¡°What did those words mean? Who¡¯s the Mr. Kooper that they were referring to?¡± Kisa gazed at him deeply, ¡°Those were the words that made me hate you to this very day.¡± ¡°So you believed their words and thought the Mr. Kooper they were referring to was me?¡± Gilbert chuckled. He finally understood why she kept on saying that he killed the child in her womb. ¡®So this is why,¡® he thought. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°But I never said such a thing; I never wanted you to die. They were making things up and intentionally misleading you! You need to believe me!¡± Gilbert spoke urgently while gripping Kisa¡¯s shoulders tightly. However, Kisa ignored him. She turned to the two jailers icily. ¡®It¡¯s no wonder they kept on telling their husbands that they did something bad. Locking a pregnant woman in a prison cell and letting her get burned by fire isn¡¯t just doing something bad; it¡¯s sadistic and evil!¡® she thought. The two jailers were curled up in fear. Kisa said icily, ¡°Take a good look at him. Is he the Mr. Kooper that said he¡¯ll leave me in prison to die?¡± ¡°Did he really tell you that it won¡¯te as a surprise if died in prison?¡± she continued. ¡°Also, was he¡­ really the person who started the fire?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 710 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 710 Chapter 710 Even if I Risked My Life for You Kisa asked three questions in a row. Gilbert became tenser when each question was asked. He stared at the two jailers fiercely. His face was extremely gloomy and frightening because of nervousness and fear. Although he did nothing, he was scared that the jailers would talk nonsense and frame him. He panicked when he thought of the mysterious man who rescued the jailers. The rtionship between Kisa and me had finally be better. I can¡¯t let her misunderstand me anymore. Otherwise, we can¡¯t return to the past.¡® The jailers looked at Gilbert with evasive eyes as if they were ready to take hints from Gilbert to talk. Kisa frowned and said to Gilbert, ¡°Go outside. I¡¯ll ask them.¡± ¡°No!¡± Gilbert¡¯s face was sullen. ¡°What if they attack you? ¡°You can let your subordinates watch over here.¡± Gilbert still refused to go outside. Suddenly, Kisa sneered, ¡°Why? Did you do something wrong? Do you worry they will expose you, so you insist on threatening them with your eyes here?¡± ¡°Kisa!¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth angrily, ¡°Gosh! You never intended to believe me? You don¡¯t even if I risked my life for you, right?¡± ¡°I only believe in facts,¡± Kisa said coldly. ¡°The facts?¡± Gilbert smiled grimly, ¡°In your view, whatever they say is the truth, right?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that you found them? Besides, what are you afraid of if you have a clear conscience?¡± The coldness of the woman in front of him made him feel disappointed. ¡®Yes, I found these two jailers. But the situation now is totally different from what I imagined. Because of the appearance of the group of mysterious people, I always felt they had threatened the jailers. I can¡¯t guarantee whether the jailers are telling the truth. But she must prefer to trust the jailers when comparing the jailers and me.¡® Gilbert was irritated while thinking of this. He had never been so scared and rattled. But he could not do anything when facing her calm and cold eyes. ¡°Do you really want me to go outside?¡± He asked through gritted teeth. Kisa nced at the hunted look of the jailers and nodded, ¡°Yes. You¡¯d better get out now if you want me to trust you,¡± ¡°¡­ Fine! Fine!¡± Gilbert sneered and snorted twice, turned and walked outside angrily. then The broken door fell directly to the ground after being kicked by him. Seeing this scene, the two jailers were stuck together in fright. The four subordinates of Gilbert came in after he left a while. Kisa asked ndly, ¡°Where is he? Is he out?¡± ¡°Are you asking about Mr. Kooper? Don¡¯t worry. Mr. Kooper is sitting on a rock and smoking outside. He asked you to rest assured as he¡¯s too far away to hear the conversation between you and these jailers. Kisa pursed her lips and looked away. Her eyes were frigid and seemed covered with ice when she looked at the jailers again. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡®My child won¡¯t have died if they didn¡¯t lock me in the cell back then. They are unforgivable even if they were just taking orders.¡® She said coldly, ¡°Now, you can answer the three questions I asked. Besides, I¡¯m powerful now. If you dare to lie, your three lovely children¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t hurt my child!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll say it! I¡¯ll tell you whatever I know.¡± In the ashram, Gilbert sat on a stone and smoked. He smoked one after another. Many cigarette butts fell by his feet after a while. A ck mongrel wandered around him and snarled at him sometimes. Its snarling look immediately reminded him of Kisa¡¯s hateful appearance that hurt others. Gilbert was irritated. So, he got up and yelled at the mongrel. The mongrel ran away with its tail between its legs. He unzipped his jacket fretfully and squatted on the rock. Kisa came out of the house at this moment. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 711 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 711 Chapter 711 Hate Me to Death Gilbert stood up quickly and looked at Kisa nervously. As Kisa came out, so did the two`jailers. There was still a look of fear on the jailers¡® faces. They handed each other as support and looked at Gilbert with evasive eyes as if it was really him who threatened them back then. Gilbert¡¯s heart was filled with anger for a long time. Seeing this, he walked toward the jailers immediately. He was full of fierceness, and his face was gloomy. The jailers screamed in terror. Kisa stopped him. She turned her head to the two jailers and said calmly, ¡°Head home.¡± Although the two jailers were full of fear, there was still a bit of guilt in the fear. ¡°M¨CMs. Becker, we were possessed and did such insane back then. We¡¯re suffering the retribution now. Our days wear on like years in this remote and impoverished ce. I hope Ms. Becker will stop hating us and hurting our children.¡± ¡°Yes. Besides, we have told you everything we know. I hope you won¡¯t disturb our life in the future. Oh! We really regret it. We have lived in fear every day for these years. We¡¯re in pain too. Boo hoo¡­¡± Kisa¡¯s face was expressionless. She said indifferently, ¡°I give you a chance to leave, but you don¡¯t go. Are you waiting for me to change my mind?¡± The two jailers were scared to say anything else after hearing this. They handed each other as support and walked toward a tile house in the east of the vige immediately. Gilbert was anxious. He looked at Kisa hastily, ¡°What did they say about the truth back then?¡± N?velDrama.Org content. Kisa looked at him calmly, ¡°Are you worried?¡± ¡°Of course! Gosh! I¡¯m afraid that they¡¯ll frame me. Besides, you¡¯re heartless. You¡¯ll definitely hate me to death again if they say I started the fire.¡± Gilbert was in a panic now. He had no idea what the jailers told Kisa, and he felt unease while seeing her face was abnormally calm. Kisa put her hand in the pocket of the down jacket. She looked in the direction where the jailers left and murmured, ¡°Yes. You keep telling me you¡¯re innocent along the way. So I¡¯d thought I¡¯d never forgive you the rest of my life if you lied to me.¡± An inexplicable chill soared on Gilbert. He grabbed her hand anxiously, ¡°I didn¡¯t lie to you. What did those jailers tell you?¡± Only then did Kisa shift her gaze to his face. She whispered while looking at his frowning, ¡°The jailers said a woman asked them to say the passage outside the door on purpose. It had nothing to do with you. They also said it was a strict order from the warden to lock me in the cell. They were unsure who had begun the fire. They only said a woman stayed in the warden¡¯s office for a long time on the day of the fire. The jailers faintly heard they were talking about idents and fires.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Gilbert¡¯s brows were still furrowed. He asked in a tense voice, ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡°I think maybe there¡¯s nothing to do with you for the fire. There¡¯s no point for them to say the passage purposely if you did it. Now that I think about it, they want to mislead me deliberately that you began the fire and make me hate you.¡± Gilbert looked at her fixedly, ¡°Is that what you¡¯re thinking?¡± ¡°Although I have always hated you, I want to find out the truth too. So I won¡¯t trust anyone blindly.¡± Gilbert seemed relieved and rxed his frowning brows a bit. He asked in a deep voice, ¡°Who is the woman they said? Sharon?¡± Kisa shook her head. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 712 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 712 Chapter 712 You Have More Than a Child? ¡°I showed them the photo of Sharon. They were certain that it wasn¡¯t the woman in the photo.¡± Kisa was also full of doubts when mentioning this. ¡®I couldn¡¯t think of anyone else who had the motive to start that fire back then except Sharon. Another question is why the two jailers were scared of Gilbert.¡® These doubtful points made Kisa feel unease, and this matter was not over yet. Suddenly, Gilbert took her into his arms when she was thinking about it. He hugged her tightly. There was no irritation or gloom in his tone but joy and excitement, Everything is fine as long as you believe that fire has nothing to do with me. I¡¯ll figure out who set the fire back then.¡± Gilbert¡¯s voice became cold abruptly with a malignant scowl as he spoke, ¡°I¡¯ll make the murderer pay a terrible price and revenge for you and our child.¡± Speaking of the child, Kisa was reminded of the jailers¡® words. They had said, ¡°You¡­ have more than a child, right? ¡°I can¡¯t remember clearly. The situation was messy at that time. I remember there was a sound of exmation || in the infirmary after you got in. They seemed to be talking about children, alive or something. ¡°But the prison was noisy and messy at that moment. So, we might mishear it. ¡°Maybe¡­ we really misheard it since¡­ you saw your child¡¯s body.¡±Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Kisa thought, ¡®There¡¯s no such coincidence that both jailers misheard at the same time if they really got it wrong. If I have more than a child, where¡¯s the other child besides the dead child?¡® Andrew and Ada came to her mind unconsciously. ¡®I did the DNA test, and the result showed Andrew and Ada were not my children.¡® However, she still had a little hope in her heart while thinking about what the jailers had told her earlier. Kisa lowered her eyes and slightly pushed the man in front of her away. She asked him in a deep voice, ¡°Who is the mother of Andrew and Ada? Can you tell me now?¡± Gilbert was stunned for a while. He did not expect her to mention the children¡¯s mother suddenly. He wanted to tell her about the child¡¯s parentage, but he still had some concerns. ¡®She hasn¡¯tpletely forgiven me now. I don¡¯t know how much she loves Jensen and if she¡¯ll still misunderstand me because of what happened back then. So, I¡¯m unsure if she¡¯ll use the children against me. After all, the children like her much. I¡¯m afraid if I tell her about their parentage before she¡¯s sincere with the children and me, the children will be hurt unnecessarily.¡± Gilbert held her shoulders, looked into her brooding eyes, and said firmly, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you who their mother is when the timees.¡± He did not answer her, and she did not ask again. After all, she was afraid that his answer would shatter the little hope in her heart. She would rather have some hope to cling to. Gilbert would never expect his concern and concealment to cause misunderstandings and miseries that were hard to solveter. If he could predict what would happenter, he would have definitely told her all about Andrew and Ada¡¯s parentage now. The mystery of the fire that year was still notpletely solved, but the two jailers had told everything they knew. There was no point in continuing to stay in that vige. Moreover, Davian called and said something had happened in GK. He asked Gilbert to be back fast. So, they did not stay long and set off at noon. Suddenly, Gilbert looked toward the east of the vige coldly when getting into the car. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 713 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 713 Chapter 713 Who Said Mr. Kooper Is Dead? Gilbert told Kisa, ¡°Those two jailers locked you in the cell Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. and caused you to suffer for the burn, but you just let them go? I¡¯ll make them suffer if you want to revenge.¡± ¡°What do you think of this ce?¡± Kisa asked an irrelevant question suddenly. Gilbert remained silent and looked at her with confusion. Kisa looked around; all she saw were deste mountains, dpidated houses, and the distant horizon. This small vige, located in the col, was extremely remote and decrepit. She looked at Gilbert, ¡°They had been hiding for six years in fear. That¡¯s their punishment. Besides, even if they hadn¡¯t done those things at the time, others would have done it. It was ordered by the warden, after all.¡± Gilbert narrowed his eyes slightly, ¡°I must find the warden.¡± ¡°What if he passed away?¡± Gilbert pursed his thin lips and said nothing. Kisa said solemnly, ¡°Besides that warden, we need to look for the woman they mentioned.¡± The warden just followed that woman¡¯s order. So, that woman was the real culprit of the arson. Three cars drove out of the vige one after another and raised a cloud of dust at the vige¡¯s entrance. In a dpidated house, the two jailers were sitting on the ground in fear. ¡°We have done what you told us. Please don¡¯t kill us.¡± ¡°That¡¯s¡­ not enough.¡± A figure standing in front of themughed grimly. The jailers¡® faces turned ashen. Kisa kept silent on the way back. She stared out the window nkly as if she had something on her mind. The bodyguard drove the car when they returned. Gilbert sat next to Kisa at the back. He nced at Kisa¡¯s preupied look and reached out to hold her hand after a while. ¡± ¡®Anyway, at least this trip proved my innocence, right?¡± Kisa looked at him and said nothing. Gilbert could not help but get so uneasy while seeing her icy look. ¡®The two jailers have proved that I have nothing to do with the fire. Why is she still cold to me? Is she going back on her word?¡® Thinking of this, he said hastily, ¡°We make a deal that day. We¡¯ll be back to the things used to be if I can prove my innocence this time. Do¡­ you regret it? We were hostile in the past. Just saying when we first got married¡­ At least give me a chance to treat you well,¡± he said seriously. Kisa withdrew her hand, pursed her lips, and said, ¡°I¡¯m tired. Let¡¯s talk after we¡¯re back.¡± She turned her head to look out the window again after speaking. Gilbert was a little depressed, but there was nothing he could do. ¡®I can¡¯t force her. It¡¯s impossible for her to forgive me immediately as I did many things that hurt her before. I can only win her heart back slowly.¡® In GK International Building, Davian stopped several celebrities who wanted to terminate their contracts angrily, ¡°What are you doing? Why? Isn¡¯t a big mediapany like GK better than the new swindler company?¡± Another mediapany named Sharecorp popped up in the market in just two days. The momentum of poaching people wasparable to J & K Film Group back then. Yanis Park said, ¡°This is my third year at GK, and I haven¡¯t been a heroine once. Why not I get a try at a newpany?¡± Yanis was close to Sharon. She wanted to jump ship this time because of Sharon¡¯s instigation. There were also a few female celebrities who were close to Sharon saying, ¡°That¡¯s right. GK is a bigpany, but the room to grow is too little.¡± ¡°Besides, I heard GK had be a shell corporation now. GK will close down soon once Mr. Kooper is dead. We must find a newpany quickly to avoid getting nothing.¡± Davian freaked out after hearing this. ¡°Who said Mr. Kooper is dead?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 714 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 714 Chapter 714 Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony ¡°Hey, Davian. Why are you so angry early in the morning? 11 Sharon walked in with a smile on her face at this moment. Davian hummed, ¡°Because of these ungrateful people whock acting skills and talents. They couldn¡¯t get a contract from any mediapanies back then. GK was generous. We took them in and gave them a chance to hone their acting. They wanted to terminate the contract, without permission and even cursed Mr. Kooper dead.¡± ¡°Whocks acting skills and talents? Stop looking down on us. You¡¯re merely theckey.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. You¡¯re worse than a rookie assistant but just good at ttering. 11 ¡°This is insubordination.¡± Sharon thought of something and intervened as she smiled, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s stop the arguing.¡± Davian pulled his tie furiously, ¡°You can¡¯t curse Mr. Kooper dead no matter what. Mr. Kooper treats all of you well. It¡¯s heartless for you to curse him in this way.¡± Sharon smiled and said, ¡°You can¡¯t me them. Gilbert has disappeared for several days, and none of us can reach him. So they started the rumor.¡® Davian snorted coldly. ¡®I¡¯d p these people hard if Mr. Kooper allowed me to reveal his whereabouts.¡® He smiled at Sharon and said, ¡°You¡¯re the only one who treats GK sincerely eventually. It was worth it for GK to spend a lot to support you back then.¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha¡­¡± Sharon smiled strangely. She looked at Davian as if looking at a fool. ¡°Mypany has just been established, and I¡¯m here to invite you to our ribbon- cutting ceremony tomorrow. Do join us. After all, we have known each other for so many years.¡± Davian was stunned, ¡°Newpany? What newpany?¡± ¡°Sharecorp,¡± Sharon smiled proudly. Davian¡¯s mouth twitched, and his face took on a ghastly expression. Sharon smiled more happily. ¡°Oh, one more thing! I¡¯ll take arge number of celebrities there. I¡¯ll send you the listter. Remember to bring their contracts to terminate them on the spot.¡± Davian sneered, ¡°So, you¡¯ll terminate your contract with GK too?¡± ¡°Of course! I¡¯m going to be the boss now. Ah! You¡¯re wee to join Sharecorp if you dislike Gilbert¡¯s style. Maybe I¡¯ll offer you as a toilet cleaner if I¡¯m in a good mood.¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± There was a burst ofughter all around all of a sudden. Davian¡¯s face darkened with anger, his fists clenching hard. Meanwhile, Gilbert and others drove two days and nights. Finally, they arrived in a small town. They would reach Calthon by driving another half a day. But all of them were exhausted. So they stayed in the small town that night. There was only one hotel in the town. But there seemed to be someone celebrating in town, and the hotel was almost fully booked. There were only two standard rooms N?velDrama.Org content. left. Eventually, they had no choice. So, the four subordinates took a room while Kisa and Gilbert took the other. Kisa did not mind sharing a room with Gilbert after getting along with him for these few days. After all, he did not touch her, and his attitude was good these days. She had been at a loss as he had be very gentle and considerate since they left Hillsby. He had asked her if she was tired or hungry. He had gently put her head on his shoulder as a pillow when she fell asleep by the car window. She found it creepy and extremely ufortable when shepared his tenderness and consideration with his past viciousness. Kisa was a little thirsty and wanted a ss of water for herself. Gilbert snatched the cup quickly and said to her considerately, ¡°Just sit down. I¡¯ll do it.¡± Kisa epted. She leaned back and sat on the sofa. He poured a ss of warm water and handed it to her, then lifted her leg. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 715 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 715 Chapter 715 I¡¯m Here to Find You Kisa stood right up from the shock. ¡°What are you doing? 11 ¡°You must be tired from the long journey. Let me massage you,¡± The man said while resting her leg on his and started to massage. Kisa felt chills from his actions. She drew back her legs with knotted brows. ¡°No, it¡¯s alright. I was sitting in the car the whole car ride. My legs are not sore since I didn¡¯t walk at all.¡± ¡°Are your shoulders sore? I could massage it for you,¡± He looked at her with deep and sincere eyes. Let the past aside, he really does look like a considerate husband now. Kisa shook her head ufortably. ¡°I¡¯m fine. You can leave me on my own.¡± ¡°Are you¡­ ¡°I¡¯m fine, Gilbert. Treat me like how you used to. I feel weird with the way you¡¯re acting right now,¡± Kisa could barely recognize the men in front of her. Gilbert¡¯s brows scrunched. ¡°Why is it weird? I just want to be nice to you.¡± ¡°You weren¡¯t like that before, and now you¡¯re¡­¡± ¡°The past is the past. I want to treat you better. Maybe you¡¯ll like me after I¡¯m nicer to you,¡± He shot her an enchanting smile. It sent shivers down Kisa¡¯s spine. This version of Gilbert was inconceivable for her. At this moment, Kisa¡¯s phone rang. She leaned forward, nced at the coffee table, and said to the man, ¡°It¡¯s yours.¡± Gilbert had been taking out his phone sim card after contacting four of his subordinates to avoid the fact that he was still alive to reach the killer¡¯s ears these few days. After that, Davian calls Kisa in order to contact Gilbert. Gilbert took the phone and put it on speaker. Kisa instantly snorted, ¡°He might be finding you forpany business.

Kisa¡¯s heart raced a little. ¡®How enlightening is this? Too bad this isn¡¯t the best time to tell me this. I only feel ¡°Mr. Kooper¡­¡± Davian howled in anger from the phone while Kisa was thinking. Kisa was stunned and instinctively looked at her phone. ¡®What has Davian gone through?¡® ¡°Mr. Kooper, the artists in thepany all rise in rebellion. Not only do they want to end their contract with us, they even start saying that you are dead and GK Pictures is going bankrupt. Mr. Kooper, you have toe back and teach them a lesson. I¡¯m absolutely pissed off today.¡± Kisa¡¯s forehead wrinkled. ¡®The news that Gilbert was washed away into the channel was not released yet. Why would the artists in GK Picture get rumors of Gilbert being dead?¡® Gilbert remained calm. ¡°How many people want to end their contract with us?¡± ¡°There are twenty¨Cfive people made up of male and female artists, though they aren¡¯t that famous. What I¡¯m really furious about is that Sharon was the founder of Sharecorp. She must have egged them on ending their contract with us.¡± ¡°Are the shareholders stirring anything up in ourpany?¡± Gilbert asked, unperturbed. ¡°They don¡¯t even want to meet me; they must have ganged up with Sharon to make GK a mere figurehead . Mr. Kooper, you have toe back quickly. Sharecorp is having a ribbon¨Ccutting ceremony tomorrow. Sharon even told me to bring the respective contracts and said to end their contracts live tomorrow.¡± Gilbert suddenlyughed softly upon listening to Davian.

Bring the contracts tomorrow and head to the ribbon¨Ccutting ceremony on time. Let¡¯s see if her ambitions are big enough to handle GK Pictures.¡± ¡°What are you nning, Mr. Kooper?¡± Gilbert smiled enigmatically, ¡°You¡¯ll see by then. As for her instructions, you can just follow them all.¡± After hanging up the phone, Kisa looked at him. ¡°Sharon, hired the killer to kill us, right? Or else, how would there be rumors of you dying within the artists in GK Pictures.¡± Gilbert¡¯s lip lifted into a grin, remained silent, and rose to pour himself a drink. Kisa smiled smugly when she saw Gilbert without a bitter look, ¡°You must be thinking that I wronged her since she¡¯s always pure and innocent, where else I¡¯m the evil one.¡± N?velDrama.Org content. ¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous,¡± Gilbert gave her a smile. Kisa retorted, ¡°I¡¯m speaking the truth.¡°, ¡°Alright, stop saying things like this. You know that¡¯s not how I really think,¡± He said in a rare gentle tone with a hint of appeasement. Kisa sneered, ¡°Who knows what you really think about? I only know you won¡¯t punish her when she makes mistakes, even if it was to kill me. While you¡¯ll think I did heinous things no matter what. Gilbert, you¡¯ve always trifled with me.¡± Kisa eyed Gilbert, there was sadness and a hint of disappointment in her tone. ¡°You¡¯ve always treated us differently.¡± Listening to Kisa¡¯sints, Gilbert felt a pang in his heart. He sat closer and embraced her in his arms. He said softly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was wrong. I¡¯ve always prejudiced against you last time, but it¡¯s not all my fault, right?¡± Kisa mocked, ¡°Am I supposed to me myself too?¡± Gilbert stared down at her and said the thorn in his heart, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have such prejudice against you if you hadn¡¯t designed me to be the wife of GK Picture¡¯s president. Actually, I always have¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Kisa pushed him instantly and said with a coldugh, ¡°You¡¯ve never believed me. I told you that I have never designed to sleep with you, and I have zero interest in bing the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s president. I¡¯m not that cheap to use those ways to sleep with you. Speaking of which, I¡¯m the victim too. If it wasn¡¯t for that scheme, I would have never gotten married to you and much less endured and suffered so much.¡± Speaking of the past made Kisa filled with strong resentment and grievances. ¡®I did love him very much before. But if I was given a chance, I would have never ever married Gilbert. Even if I was pregnant, no matter how hard Madalyn set us together, I would have never married him again. There wouldn¡¯t be heartbreak if no marriage was involved,¡® Kisa thought. Gilbert¡¯s face darkened in a second as if he was only pretending to be sweet and considerate just now. His gloomy looks are more pleasing to Kisa¡¯s eyes because he had always been like this in her impression. Gilbert gritted his teeth and questioned her, ¡°So you were forced to marry me that year? If it wasn¡¯t for that scheme, you would have saved yourself for Jensen, right?¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes flickered somewhere else, not wanting to mention the horrible past memories. Gilbert suddenlyughed, with ridicule, ¡®If she was the one who designed, that night, at least she wasn¡¯t forced to sleep and marry me. It was better that she had a purpose than being forced. ¡®Turns out, she was the innocent victim when I unconsciously forced her that night. I was the bad guy who ruined Kisa and Jensen¡¯s rtionship. Hah, I get it now. So I was the one who couldn¡¯t handle it. But I can¡¯t let go of her. I could only force this rtionship to work,¡® Gilbert suddenly hugged Kisa tightly from the back. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 717 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 717 Chapter 717 Don¡¯t Waste My Money At this moment, Kisa was full of hatred and was defensive of Gilbert¡¯s closeness. The more she struggled, the tighter his embrace was, as if he wanted to blend her inside him. ¡°Can we stop being like this?¡± Gilbert whispered earnestly, ¡°Promise me that we can get back to the past. I know our past isn¡¯t that wonderful, but just let me have the chance to court you. I didn¡¯t do it before, but let me make it up for you. || Kisa nibbled on her lower lip in anguish. ¡°Too bad, I don¡¯t need it anymore.¡± Kisa dreamed that he would chase after her, and they would fall in love like a normal couple once upon a time. But it was all in her head. In reality, there was no sweet love affair, only endless sadness and hurt. She doesn¡¯t need a so¨Ccalled love affair now. Gilbert rested his chin on her neck and said in a deep and intractable voice, ¡°I don¡¯t care whether or not you need it or how much you love Jensen. I will never let you go. It doesn¡¯t matter if you call me autocratic or selfish. I will never ever let you go.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and held back her emotions. She responded coolly, ¡°Suit yourself.¡± In a lounge bar at Paradise Club, men and women were having fun on the dance floor as if there was a celebration. Cndina snobbishly pointed at the group of artists sitting down. ¡°Sharon won¡¯t mistreat you listen to her.¡± ¡°Will we have a chance to be the leading characters?¡± if you ¡°Not everyone has the chance to be a leading character.

The artists were Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. contemptuous of Cndina¡¯s ttering look, but they did not dare to speak their minds. Anthony ced his legs on the table and sneered at Sharon, ¡°How convinced are the higher¨Cups in GK Pictures? I want to take them down tomorrow.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. All those old hags are ambitious. None of them are willing to take a back seat and sumb to Gilbert. Once they transfer their shares to me, I could take down GK Pictures as the biggest shareholder. Just wait for the good news tomorrow.¡± ¡°You better do this right with no casualties. The liquidated damages of these artists added together aren¡¯t cheap. You best not waste my money. ¡°1 ¡°Be rest assured,¡± Sharon patted his shoulder tenderly. ¡°I invested my money and heart into Sharecorp. I¡¯m more cautious than you are. GK Pictures will be ours if nothing wrong happens tomorrow. When the timees, the entertainment industry of Calthon will be in our hands.¡± Anthony swirled his wine ss and said nonchntly, What if something happens tomorrow?¡± Sharon snorted, feeling rather confident, ¡°What could happen tomorrow?¡± ¡°What if Gilbert¡¯s not dead?¡± ¡°Impossible. My subordinates saw Gilbert and Kisa being washed off in the deep channel. You could ask thedy beside you if you¡¯re worried. Didn¡¯t you nt her to spy on Kisa? You can ask her about Kisa¡¯s news.¡± Anthony nced sideways at Lea, who was in a mix¨Cup. She was not all there and stared at the ss of wine on, the table with dull eyes.

Isn¡¯t she a little too nosy?¡± Although Anthony always seemed casual, he was feared by many once his unpredictable and ruthless side. surfaced. Sharon chimed in with an apologetic smile, Hey, my workers didn¡¯t know any better. Plus, she just hit a chess piece. A chess piece that has been out of value since Kisa died.¡± ¡°Whether or not she is out of value is not your call,¡± Anthony snorted savagely. Sharon red up in her heart but suppressed her negative emotions, thinking about the connections and capital he could bring to her newpany. ¡°Cndina!¡± Sharon called Cndina over, raised her hand, and pped her. Cndina was caught off bnce, looking at Sharon in disbelief. ¡°Sharon, you¡­¡± ¡°Next time, have a sense of propriety before you act. Why are you such a busybody about other people¡¯s matters?¡± Sharon lectured Cndina and smiled at Anthony, ¡°Is Mr. Mullen satisfied now?¡± Anthony scowled and looked down at Lea, who was on the floor, ¡°Did you receive any news about Kisa these days?¡± Lea hastily shook her head and said, ¡°No. I called her earlier, but she didn¡¯t pick up. After that, her phone number could not get through,¡± She crawled and wrapped her hands around Anthony¡¯s leg, crying. ¡°Is Kisa really dead? How could she die? She was doing fine.¡± Anthony shook her off his feet, ignoring her painful cries. He looked at Sharon, ¡°It seems that these two short¨Clived persons are dead. What a shame.

Sharon¡¯s smile grew more satisfied as she looked at the current situation. She sat back next to Anthony. Anthony looked at the time and asked her, What¡¯s wrong?

Who knows what a shameless person like you would do to shirk work?¡± ¡°Why you!¡± Sharon shot him a death stare and nced at Anthony. ¡°Didn¡¯t we have a deal? I¡¯ll fund the operation of the newpany while you settle the penalties?¡± As the leading enterprise in the entertainment industry, GK Pictures was easy to get in but hard to get out of. In the beginning, GK Pictures took in many artists who had nowhere to go. They were ridiculed by the media as being a shelter for artists. However, easy entry was followed by difficult exit. GK Pictures¡¯s great liquidated damage was well¨Cknown in the industry, more than twenty times higher than other entertainmentpanies. N?velDrama.Org content. Many lost artists felt it was a stroke of luck when they were taken in by GK Pictures. They resolutely signed the contract with GK Pictures without considering the high penalty. At that time, they had never thought of leaving thepany. Now, the penalties added up were not cheap, especially for Sharon, whose penalty was notoriously high as she was a superstar GK Pictures put in the effort and promoted. The Mullen family was respectable in Athadale, but Anthony could not take out so much money on his own, so he ended up borrowing it from his old man. He said in a low voice, ¡°This better turn out smooth, or else I¡¯ll rip you to shreds.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 720 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 720 Chapter 720 Backfire Sharon smiled scornfully, ¡°Look at how worried you are, It¡¯s just a little money. There¡¯s nothing to be worried about. Just imagine how much money you¡¯ll make after taking over GK.¡± Anthony scoffed coldly. He would not be worried at all if he did not borrow the money from his father. The penalty for breaching the contract was sent to GK¡¯s ount very soon after that. Dacian looked at the ount. ¡°Are the figures correct?¡± The ountant shook his head. ¡°Yes, everything¡¯s correct.¡± Then, Davian unfolded the contracts happily. ¡°Come here and sign this if you wish to terminate your contract with us. However, I¡¯ve got to remind you that GK Pictures will never work with anybody who has chosen to leave us today.¡± However, none of the artists was scared by what he said as all of them went to sign the contract one after another. Sharon¡¯s spirit brightened while seeing what had happened. ¡°Davian, there¡¯s no need to worry. They¡¯re nevering back to GK even if you begged them to.¡± ¡®After all, GK will be a shellpany soon. ¡® Sharon thought to herself gleefully. Then, several middle¨Caged men in suits and ties walked out of a car. Sharon¡¯s eyes sparkled as she immediately went to wee them. ¡°Hello, gentlemen. What took you so long to get here? We¡¯re going to cut the ribbon as soon as the artists are, done signing the contracts. Oh, yes. Don¡¯t forget to transfer me your sharester, okay?¡± Then, she went closer to those men and said in their ears, ¡°Rest assured, I¡¯ll give you what you deserve after we officially take over GK Pictures. We¡¯ll divide its shares evenly, and I guarantee that you¡¯re going to get more than what you have now. Besides, you¡¯ll still be the executives of Sharecorp after all this.¡± This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. Sharon said excitedly, and she could not notice the strange looks on those men at all. The reporters around them could not stop taking pictures of that, and the sound of their cameras clicking and shing made the ce look very lively. ¡°Hm. The executives of GK are all here. Where¡¯s Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°I heard that all the executives are going to transfer their shares to Sharon. What¡¯s going on? Is GK really going to copse?¡± ¡°Who knows? Sharon¡¯s going to be the new boss of GK if that¡¯s true. That¡¯d be even better than being the wife of GK¡¯s CEO.¡± Carolyn could not feel any happier after hearing what they said. Then, she looked at her daughter, feeling proud. Davian sneered while watching the artists sign the contracts. His heart throbbed with excitement as he looked at the amount of penalty he was going to get. He told his assistant to pass the contracts to Sharon after thest artist was done signing. Sharon went through all of them and smiled contentedly. After that, she brought out a stack of new contracts and gave them to the artists. Those were the contracts Sharecorp offered for the artists to work him them. She only asked the artists to do the signings in front of the media because she wanted to let everybody know that GK was going to fall and her newpany, Sharecorp, would take its ce. Happiness radiated through her when she thought of how she would rece GK and be the leadingpany in the industry. The smile on her face could not be any wider as she watched the artists sign the new contracts. She turned and looked at the executives of GK, who were sitting beside her after the artists were done. ¡°Let¡¯s move on to transferring the shares now. I¡¯ve invited the officers from the department of commerce, so let¡¯s not waste any time. We¡¯ll cut the ribbon after getting this done. Let¡¯s get started.¡± Sharon said excitedly, failing to notice how the executives, looked. Anthony stared at the cold expressions of those executives as a bad feeling started to appear inside him. ¡°Mr. Kooper is here!

Suddenly, the crowd started shouting. The look on Anthony¡¯s face changed immediately. He grabbed Sharon¡¯s cor aggressively and whispered while grinding his teeth, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that he¡¯s dead?¡± Sharon was puzzled. ¡°I¨CI have no idea. T¨CThey probably just shouting his name for no reason.¡® Herst bit of fantasy was destroyed after she saw Gilbert, and Kisa stepping out of the crowd. She slumped on the chair, looking pale. ¡°W¨CWhat¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Idiot!¡± Anthony shrugged her off violently. He then red at Gilbert and Kisa, who were walking toward him. The reporters approached them as soon as they showed up. ¡°Mr. Kooper, what do you think of the superstar under yourpany starting an agency of her own?¡± ¡°Ms. Case just started herpany, and so many artists terminated their contracts with GK to work in her ¡°Also, you and Ms. Case had always been going everywhere together. Did any conflict happen between you and her that led to what¡¯s happening now?¡± Kisa could not help but lift the edge of her lip and smiled sarcastically after hearing thest question.

Gilbert looked and her before answering the reporters questions. ¡°Mypany had never tried to stop any of our artists from prospering, It¡¯s only right for me to support Ms. Case now that she wants to start her own i As for the artists who chose to terminate their contracts with us, Ms. Case honestly did me a huge favor here. After all, GK has been paying so many talentless artists, and they were adding to our financial burden. I really must thank Ms. Case for solving this financial issue for me by paying me an enormous amount of penalty for breaching the contract.¡± Anthony was so angry that he clenched his teeth. His expression looked dark and vicious. The look on Sharon¡¯s face was awful too. Her face was pale as she looked at Gilbert in disbelief. Gilbert ignored herpletely as he continued talking to the reporters, ¡°As for thest question, I was Ms. Case¡¯s boss. We only appear in the same ce together because of work. I would already marry her a long time ago if I wanted her to be thedy boss of GK. Why would I want the rumors spreading around or keep you all guessing? You mentioned conflict, heh. There¡¯s no such thing. However, now that she has started her ownpany, she is either going to be my partner or rival.¡± Gilbert looked at the crowd with a bright smile, and they dared not to doubt a thing he said after hearing howposed he was. Then, one of the reporters, shifted his gaze to Kisa, who was standing beside him. ¡°Eh? Why is Ms. Becker from J&K Film Group here too?¡± Kisa smiled faintly and said, ¡°There¡¯s a newpany in the industry, and the founder is my sister too. It¡¯s only right for me to show up. Otherwise, somebody with bad intentions would call me a heartless person.¡± The reporters were surprised at what she said andughed. Then, another reporter asked, ¡°Why did youe here with Mr. Kooper at the same time then? It looks like you guys are getting along pretty well. Do you have any ns to marry him again?¡± ¡°Nope!¡® Gilbert¡¯s gaze darkened after hearing how Kisa answered the question without hesitating. He turned to the woman beside him with a hateful stare, but Kisa did not look at him at all. The reporters noticed that something was wrong. However, they were afraid of the hostile look on Gilbert¡¯s face, so they dared not ask any more questions. They had no choice but to only take pictures of them. Sharon started to panic after what had happened. So, she could only put all her hope into those executives of GK. She hurriedly rushed to them and said nervously, ¡°Come on. Transfer me your shares now. Quick!¡± One of the executives looked at her as if she was an idiot¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 722 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 722 Chapter 722 Toughen Up, Don¡¯t Look Back ¡°Ms. Case, are you delusional or stupid? Is your brain even working? How is a newpany going to compete with an experiencedpany like GK?¡± ¡°Yeah. Did you think that yourpany would blow up just because you signed some ipetent artists from GK? You¡¯re such a joke. I¡¯ll tell you what: Mr. Kooper wanted to get rid of those fishes in troubled water long ago.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so stupid. You spent a fortune just to get those useless artists. I guess you have too much money, huh?¡± Sharon had gone mad as she yelled at them without holding back, ¡°All of you agreed to give me your shares previously, and we were going to divide the interests equally among us. How could you lie to me?¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, but we also said that our final decisions would depend upon different circumstances. We reserve all the rights not to transfer our shares to you if anything went wrong. || ¡°He¡¯s right. GK will only be better now that Mr. Kooper is back. Nobody would choose your littlepany over GK.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ How dare you break your promise. You old farts should go to hell! All of you!¡± Sharon grabbed the water bottles on the table and threw it at the executives as if sheBelongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. had lost her mind. They could not dodge it in time, and all of them were hit. The forehead of one of the executives was even swollen after getting hit. The reporters ditched Gilbert and Kisa as they shifted their cameras to that crazy scene. Kisa sneered and watched Sharon go off. ¡®Her newpany is probably going to fall apart now. Besides, I¡¯m afraid none of thepanies would want to give her a contract. She¡¯s going to disappear from showbiz forever now.¡® The artists who terminated their contracts with GK started to panic too. ¡°Ms. Case, what¡¯s going on? Are you still going to run your ownpany? What about the contracts we just signed?¡± ¡°Yeah, we left GK just to work for you. You can¡¯t let us down.¡± ¡°Get out of my face!¡± Sharon was so mad, that she lost her mind. She went off at the two artists who approached her. ¡°I spent a fortune to get out of your contract. What more do you want? Do you expect me to pay you more money now? Get lost!¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, please forgive me!¡± All the reporters left in the evening. Sharon kneeled before Gilbert. ¡°I was wrong. I was really wrong. I¡¯ll not terminate my contract with GK now. Mr. Kooper, please forgive me¡­ Gilbert started at her coldly, looking indifferent. Kisa nced at them and smiled faintly, ¡°The show¡¯s over. I should get going now.¡® || However, after she turned around and took two steps away from them, her wrist was forcefully grabbed by a big hand.

I don¡¯t feel like listening to any disgusting today.¡± ¡°You b*tch, what did you say?!¡± Sharon immediately got up and raised her palm before trying to p Kisa. Gilbert¡¯s gaze turned cold. He lifted his hand and pushed Sharon two feet away from Kisa in a sh. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Sharon fell on the floor awkwardly and looked at Gilbert with a pitiful look. However, Gilbert ignored herpletely. He looked at Kisa with his deep eyes and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°Heh heh. You should stay here with Ms. Case instead. She¡¯d been through a lot today, after all.¡± Kisa shrugged his hand away forcefully and walked away without looking back after saying that sarcastically. Gilbert¡¯s face became as dark as a pocket as he watched Kisa leave in a cab. ¡°Mr. Kooper¡­¡± Sharon crawled toward him. ¡°My sister has always been an arrogant person. Also, she loves ying hard to get. The better you treat her, the greedier she will be.¡® Gilbert looked down at her as he slowly squinted. His gaze looked so deadly and baleful that it made Sharon feel a chill down her spine as she shivered in fear. Sharon sat on the floor, looking pale. She did not dare to speak anymore. In the CEO¡¯s office of GK, Davian showed Gilbert how much money they received from the penalty. ¡°Mr. Kooper, look at the figure. They¡¯re really generous.¡± Davian smiled gleefully, but Gilbert did not look very pleased. He looked outside the window nkly as if there were a lot of things going on in his mind. Davian nced at him and asked softly, ¡°Mr. Kooper, are you okay? Not only that we got rid of those useless artists this time and reorganized the board of ourpany, but we also taught Anthony and Sharon a lesson. Why are you still feeling unhappy?¡± ¡°Have you found out anything about those mystery people who suddenly appeared in Hillsby?¡± Even though his name was cleared, there were still a lot of suspicious things. He just could not help but think that something fishy was going on whenever he remembered how terrified the jailers looked. Davian moved his lips and said, ¡°To be honest, I¡¯ve found nothing about them. However, I can be very certain that they weren¡¯t sent by Mr. Jensen. Mr. Jensen¡¯s men have been rather quiet these days. They¡¯re still on their holidays.¡± Gilbert gazed far into the dark night sky, looking very troubled. Davian was very puzzled. He could not figure out what was going on and he asked, ¡°Mr. Kooper, are you thinking about Ms. Becker? I noticed that you were pretty friendly to her today. Did¡­¡± ¡°But she¡¯s still very cold to me.¡± Gilbert said sadly before Davian could finish talking. He sounded a little bitter. Davian finally understood it as he said yfully, ¡°Mr. Kooper, you¡¯ve got to take it slow. You should figure out what she likes first before giving them to her, especially something that she wants a lot, but just couldn¡¯t get it. I¡¯m sure that she¡¯ll be moved if you can get that for her.¡± ¡°Hmph. I have no idea what she really wants.¡± Davian scratched the back of his head and thought for a moment. Then, he said, ¡°Do you know what¡¯s something or someone that she cares about the most then? I¡¯m sure that there¡¯d be something rted to that if you could find out what that is. If you can get that for her, then¡­¡± Gilbert immediately turned his head and looked at Davian. Davian paused. ¡°W-What? Did I say something wrong?¡± Gilbert smiled faintly. ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell that you were so good at winning a girl¡¯s heart. It looks like it¡¯s time to get you a girlfriend.¡± Davian blushed. ¡°Mr. Kooper, please don¡¯t make fun of me.¡± Kisa was finally relieved after she got back home. She did not go to the Kooper residence to pick ke up. She thought it would be better for Gilbert to send ke over directly tomorrow. After all, she was not on good terms with Madalyn, and she was afraid that she might argue with her if she went there. She felt morefortable sleeping in her own house. Kisa fell asleep not long after shey on the bed. At midnight, she rolled over on her bed and suddenly felt a warm chest while still half awake. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 724 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 724 Chapter 724 Can¡¯t Hold It in Anymore Kisa had been sleeping with Gilbert for a few days, but she could not process what was happening when she touched the person beside her. She was finally awakened when her hand explicitly felt the warmness of that person¡¯s chest. ¡°Ah!¡± She shouted and sat up. She hurriedly reached for the light switch beside her bed, but she knocked something over on the nightstand out of panic instead. That thing fell on the floor and made a loud sound in the silent room. Then, a warm yellow light lit up the room. Kisa looked to her side in fear and saw Gilbert lying on the bed calmly. He was topless, and hiszy face looked somehow effortlessly seductive. The man was calm andzy, yet Kisa burned with anger. She gritted her teeth and shouted, ¡°Who let you in? You¡¯re trespassing!¡± Kisa trembled with rage. She was frightened just now, and she could not find a reason not to hate the man in front of her. Even worse, he even got into her bed without wearing any shirt. Even though they had been sharing a bed for a few days, he was never shirtless, nor had he done anything over the line. She took a few deep breaths and yelled at him while trying to keep herselfposed, ¡°You, get out!¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one who said we can return to the way things were.¡± Gilbert looked at her and said sternly. However, he looked a little annoyed. Kisa was still boiling with anger. ¡°You¡¯re right, but that doesn¡¯t mean that you sneak into my bed without wearing any shirt!¡± She would never say that to him if she knew that this would happen. Kisa only agreed with him reluctantly because he was almost dying that day. However, it seemed like she was too soft¨Chearted. ¡°We were husband and wife. We¡¯ve got to do what a normal couple would do if we were to go back in time.¡® Kisaughed after hearing what he said, even though she was still angry. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. She did not want to talk with him anymore and grabbed her bolster to throw at him. ¡°Get out! Get out now!¡± Gilbert caught the bolster. Then, he pounced forward and pulled Kisa into his arms. Kisa struggled fretfully. She never knew that Gilbert could do something so shameless. Gilbert pressed Kisa against him, and her face stuck on his hot chest. Kisa felt so humid and suffocating that she was about to explode with rage. The man suddenly spoke in deep voice when Kisa was still trying to break free, ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Kisa did not listen. She was awakened from a good sleep, and she even found a shirtless man sleeping beside her. There was just no way she could think rationally. She punched the man¡¯s chest annoyedly, trying to escape. However, Gilbert suddenly grabbed her wrist, rolled over, and pinned her down on the bed. ¡°I told you not to move. You just wouldn¡¯t listen, huh?¡± Gilbert¡¯s voice was very hoarse, and it also sounded a little resentful. Kisa had no idea that when she touched him in her sleep, she woke a very particr part of his body up. Plus, Kisa kept moving around him, and he just could not hold it in anymore. Kisa shouted at Gilbert angrily after noticing that something was wrong with him, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Gilbert breathed heavily as he stared at her with his deep gaze. The look on his face did not look innocent at all. His eyes sparkled as if he was a beast about to break out of its shackles. It was terrifying to look at. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 725 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 725 Chapter 725 Like a Little Wild Cat Thinking of what Gilbert had done previously, forcing himself onto her, Kisa hated it to the core. She lifted herself and bit him on the shoulder. Gilbert grunted and furrowed his eyebrows, but he did not push her. He just let her bite. Even when Kisa tasted a smear of blood in her mouth, she did not stop, as if she was venting her spleen through this bite. Perhaps she was tired of biting; she finally let go, and her mouth was full of blood. Gilbert¡¯s shoulder was mutted, blood falling down his shoulder and dying the white bedsheet red. She red at the man threateningly, like a small wild cat. After being bitten, his desire for her grew even more intense instead of receding. There was a craze of lust in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse to the extreme. ¡°Are you happy now?¡± ¡°No. Even if I were to bite your shoulder off, it would not relieve my anger. 11 Kisa growled in anger. In the past, when faced with this situation, she was afraid. But this time, she looked angry. Her attitude toward him had changed a little, after all. ¡°You want to force yourself on me again, don¡¯t you? What else would a person like you could do other than force yourself on me?¡± Kisa looked daggers at him. It made her blood boil when she thought of all that he had done to her before. Gilbert nced at her furious look and sighed helplessly. Do you hate me that much now?¡± He asked in a low voice, lying on his side beside her as he firmly wrapped her in his arms. Feeling his scorching body temperature, Kisa felt ufortable and annoyed. She pushed him. Gilbert quickly caught her hand. ¡°I said don¡¯t move, or I can¡¯t control myself and may do something to you. Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you.¡± His voice was hoarse and low. Kisaughed in exasperation, appalled that he was ming her for his failure to control his lust. She gasped, her chest heaving from the anger. Gilbert saw the perfect curves of her breasts. He felt an overwhelming desire rising within him. He nced away, kicking himself for his runaway desire as if he had never seen a woman before. Both of them calmed down for a moment before Gilbert spoke. ¡°I really want to be good to you now, and you should not always reject me.¡± Kisa snickered. She had lost faith in love. Besides, she was not even sure if his love was real. He had hurt her so much in the past, and now she no longer felt a need for his kindness. Although he had proven that he had nothing to do with the prison fire, the most she could do now was just not to hate him. ¡°But I don¡¯t need your endearment anymore. Give it to other women,¡± she said faintly. Gilbert was so offended that he wished he could just ravish her on the spot, but he was afraid the two of them would get further apart. Atst, he could only hold back his emotions and said, ¡°You aren¡¯tpletely devoid of feelings for me, are you? Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t be worried about me when I was in danger.¡± ¡°Are you sure that is what I¡¯m worried about?¡± Kisa looked at him with a snicker.

He took a breath, suddenly released her, and got out of bed. With the restraints gone, Kisa hurriedly sat up from the bed. She saw Gilbert slowly walking toward the window. She froze for a moment and thought to herself, ¡®He wouldn¡¯t want to jump off the building, would he? He has always been so ruthless and decisive, so why would he kill himself just because I dare him? It is probably just for show.¡® With that in mind, she also got out of bed and took a few steps toward him. Gilbert walked to the window and stopped there.

Kisa flushed with anger, but in Gilbert¡¯s eyes, she looked attractive with anger, especially her chest heaving up and down in anger.

As he forced himself to look away, he suddenly saw the things she had knocked down on the floor earlier -a cup, a cell phone, and tissues.

Adrien held a cigarette in his hand and stared at the bracelet on Peter¡¯s wrist for a long time, his mind drifting off, while Jensen nced at him with a sneer. Just then, there was a sudden brawl outside the door, where Anthony and Sharon barged in despite several bodyguards trying to stop them. ¡°Mr. Tanner, we are sorry we couldn¡¯t stop them.¡± Adrien flicked off the cigarette ashes and sat upright. ¡°It is alright.

You just let him have his way. The fun is yet toe.¡± ¡°F*ck!¡± Anthony was really frustrated. ¡°It was you guys who didn¡¯t listen to me. Had you listened to me andin in wait, Gilbert wouldn¡¯t have gotten the advantage.¡± Anthony looked coldly at Sharon upon hearing that. He suddenly grabbed her by the cor and threw her at Adrien¡¯s feet. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 730 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 730 Chapter 730 They Won¡¯t Find the Warden Before Sharon could get up, Anthony stepped on her back and grabbed her hair, forcing her to tilt her head back. ¡± Speaking of which, it is all your fault, you b*tch!¡± ¡°It is obvious that you are greedy, and you think of taking over GK. I didn¡¯t force you to work with me. Now you try to me it on me after losing money. Heh, that is ridiculous,¡± Sharon snarled. ¡°You were the one who said Gilbert was dead, so I started apany with you. But what happened? Please f*cking tell me why Gilbert is still alive.¡± Anthony became furious at the mention of this. He pulled at her hair and yanked her hard. Sharon fell to the ground in a heap, her scalp tingling with pain. Yet Anthony did not stop there; he continued to kick her. Peter shook his head and snickered, then continued to y his billiards. Nearby, the women with heavy makeup were too scared to make a sound. Adrien exhaled a ring of smoke and chuckled. ¡°That is enough. You won¡¯t get your money back even if you beat her to death. So consider it a lesson.¡± Anthony then stopped and lit a cigarette, feeling indignant. Sharon was bruised and battered, but she couldn¡¯t care less about her pain. She crawled over and hugged Adrien¡¯s leg. ¡°Mr. Tanner, they have met the two jailers. What should we do? Gilbert must have known that I had something to do with the fire. What should we do now? He must be thinking of a way to get back at me. Please help me.¡± The main reason she came here today was because of the prison fire. The thought of Gilbert¡¯s ruthless methods of revenge made her tremble with fear. Adrien looked down at her with a faint smile. ¡°As long as they don¡¯t find the warden, you have nothing to fear.¡± Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What if they find out where the warden is from those two jailers?¡± Sharon was almost breaking down, even her ? voice trembling. She had thought that Kisa was dead and that the fire would be like settled dust, forever sealed in history, and no one would ever talk about it again. But she never expected that not only Kisa would survive but also investigate the fire with Gilbert. She was so desperate this time, and she was almost going crazy. ¡°There is no way they are going to find the warden.¡± Adrien let out an insouciant smile. ¡®W¨CWhy?¡± Adrien did not answer but smiled with confidence. It was the New Year, a very important day for the people of Calthon today. At noon, Kisa went out to buy some ingredients to make ravioli. As soon as she returned and before she could take a break, there was a knock on the door. Thinking it was Gilbert, she sat there for a long while without opening the door. But when she realized Gilbert had the key, she felt something was wrong and rushed over to peek through the peephole, only to find that Jensen and Mia were standing outside. As soon as she opened the door, Andrew, Ada, and ke greeted her with excitement at once. ¡°Hello, Ma¡¯am!¡± Kisa was transfixed, not expecting that Jensen had also brought the children along. She looked at Jensen. ¡°Are, you done with things in Raworth? Is there a problem ?¡± Mia subconsciously nced at Jensen, who nodded his head. ¡°It has been settled. No big deal. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Good to hear. Come on in.¡± Kisa smiled and hurriedly stepped aside to let them in. ¡°You guys are back just in time. Today is New Year. We can just spend New Year together and make up for the regret of not spending Christmas Eve togetherst time,¡± Kisa said, hurrying to pick up the ingredients she had just bought. Jensen followed her into the kitchen. He leaned against the stove countertop and watched Kisa go back and forth, doing her stuff. He then suddenly spoke. Chapter 731 Chapter 731 Chapter 731 You Can Stop Hating Him Now ¡°I heard that you and Gilbert went together these days to investigate the prison fire that happened back then.¡± Kisa paused what she was doing and asked with a smile, How do you know?¡± Jensen¡¯s sudden question reminded her of the mysterious man who saved the two jailers. But Jensen smiled and said, ¡°I ran into Davian when I went to pick ke up from the Kooper residence; he told me about it.¡± Kisa pursed her lips. ¡®So he wasn¡¯t the person who sent the mysterious group of men.¡® She continued to sort out the ingredients she had just bought. ¡°Although we didn¡¯t find the real culprit of the fire, Gilbert cleared his name, at least,¡± she said without looking up. ¡°Oh yeah? That¡¯s good.¡± Kisa then nced at him. ¡°At first, I was convinced that Gilbert was behind the fire because of a conversation outside the door. I hated him for several years. But now I know that the conversation was deliberately made between the two jailers for my benefit at the behest of someone else.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. You can stop hating him now.¡± Jensen lowered his eyes and smiled faintly. Kisa could not help but take another nce at him as he soundedckadaisical and indifferent. She somehow felt that Jensen had changed a lot recently. He used to give her the feeling of being gentle, like a big brother with whom she could trust, depend on, and feelfortable. But now, she felt he seemed detached, as if indifferent to everything in this world. She put the ingredients she would needter in the sink, then walked up to him and looked at him with a serious face. ¡°Is there something bothering youtely, Jensen?¡± Jensen was keeping his head low and in a daze. He could not help looking up at her when he heard her question. For some unknown reason, he felt her concern was fake. He reminded himself that she was Kisa, and Kisa had always been genuine, and that she was the only sunshine in his heart. But he could not understand why he now doubted her and rejected the sunshine he had always cherished. He questioned whether it was because he belonged to the darkness and did not deserve a bit of light. He lowered his eyes again and suddenlyughed at himself. Kisa frowned. ¡°Jensen, you-¡± ¡°What else is there to say? You are going to be together with Gilbert. Of course, he feels sad. It is not like you don¡¯t know you are the person he loves.¡± Mia, who was at the doorway, suddenly sneered. Jensen red over at her. ¡°I advise you not to talk nonsense.¡± This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. ¡°Heh, nonsense?¡± Mia snickered. ¡°Jensen, howe I didn¡¯t realize you were a coward before this?¡± Jensen¡¯s face turned coldpletely. ¡°Get out!¡± Mia shot an indignant re at Kisa before turning to leave, and Kisa stood frozen in ce, not knowing what to do. Jensen looked down at her. ¡°She just likes to talk nonsense. Nothing seriouses out of her mouth. Don¡¯t take her words to heart.¡± Kisa nodded and looked up at him. ¡°Are you really okay?¡± ¡°What can happen to me? I¡¯m just a little sentimental all of a sudden.¡± ¡°But you don¡¯t look like someone sentimental.¡± ¡°So what do you think I should look like?¡± With a touch of self¨Cdeprecation, Jensen faintly smiled as if he was in self¨Cdenial all this while. Kisa did not know what to say. ¡°You are a good man. In my eyes, you are the most gentle and dependable person. Jensen snickered as he stroked her head. ¡°You always imagine me to be so nice. It makes me feel a little ashamed of myself.¡± With that, he turned around and walked outside absent¨Cmindedly. Kisa looked on as he went and suddenly said, ¡°No matter what happens, you will always be my most precious friend.¡± Jensen halted in his tracks for a second but did not look back. Kisa felt a lump in her throat as she looked at his lonely shadow from behind. She smiled secretly, as she did not know earlier that sentimentality could also be contagious. It was not untilter that did Kisa learn Jensen had been hovering between good and evil, and unfortunately, everyone was pushing him to the evil side with no one giving him a helping hand. Chapter 732 Chapter 732 Chapter 732 Daddy Has a Surprise for Ma¡¯am ¡°Ma¡¯am.¡± Kisa was busy in the kitchen when a child suddenly hugged her from behind, startling her. When she held the little hands and spun the child around, she saw the cute little face of Ada, whose bright eyes almost melted her heart. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± She stroked Ada¡¯s little hair bun and asked gently, ¡°Are you hungry? Wait a little longer. The ravioli and apple dumplings are almost ready.¡± Ada shook her head and let out a mysterious smile. ¡°I came to tell you that Daddy wille overter. He has a surprise for you.¡± Kisa¡¯s smile froze. She did not think Gilbert would bring her any surprises, and he would only spoil her mood if he came. But to avoid hurting the children¡¯s feelings, she said politely, ¡°Look, it is so cold now, and there is snow and wind. The temperature is going to drop tonight. It is better to ask your daddy not toe, lest he will get sick from the cold.¡± ¡°Wow, Ma¡¯am, so you are concerned about Daddy. I¡¯m going to tell him.¡± ¡°Hey, hey¡­¡± Kisa tried to stop her, but it was toote; she had rushed out in a whirlwind. Kisa helplessly put her hand to her forehead, reminding herself not to lie in front of the children because they would take it seriously. By 3:00 pm, Kisa had finished making the apple dumplings and ravioli. Jensen and Mia did not seem to have much appetite, so they ate some apple dumplings. The kids were happy and had good appetites, and they ate the ravioli and apple dumplings. In the evening, Jensen drove the children back to the Kooper residence after dinner because Andrew and Ada had to spend the New Year with Madalyn, while Mia took ke back to Jensen¡¯s house. The house was silent again. Kisa stared at the half¨Ctray of apple dumplings and ravioli on the table, then got up to clean it up. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. Tomorrow, Adrien¡¯s drama would officially start filming, and the crew had sent her the location and time. The New Year felt like a dream to her. She enjoyed it as it was quite warm and hoped it would improve for the foreseeable future. She went to bed early to ensure she would be energetic on the set tomorrow. Fearing that Gilbert might creep into her bed unannounced like he didst time, she locked the bedroom door when she went to bed this time. She leaned against the headboard and went through the script before lying down and getting ready for bed. Just as she turned the light off, she heard a slight rattling from outside. She frowned, her nerves tensing up. ¡®It can¡¯t be that Gilbert is really here, right?¡® While thinking, there were suddenly two counts of loud bangs from outside, like the sound of a basin or spoon hitting the floor. She frowned, reaching to turn on the wall light, and got up to walk outside quietly. The living room was pitch ck, with only a faint glimmer of light that looked like the light of a cell phoneing from the kitchen. She wondered if Gilbert was really here and what he was doing sneaking around in the kitchen. But then, she was also afraid that I might not be Gilbert but a thief who climbed up via a gas pipe. With this thought in mind, she hurriedly turned off the wall light in the room, then picked up the cane she had used some time ago. She then walked very gently to avoid making any sound as she made her way to the kitchen door. She hid in the doorway and cautiously looked inside. The person had turned off the cell phone light, which was nowpletely dark. There was only faint lighting in through the window. She could not make out who the person was. She retracted her head, leaned against the wall, and quietly waited for the person toe out while her hand gripped the cane. The person soon emerged but did not notice her. Kisa then struck the back of the person with the cane with no hesitation. Chapter 733 Chapter 733 Chapter 733 I Was Almost KO¡¯ed There was a muffled grunt. Not waiting for any reaction from the person, Kisa rushed into the kitchen, locked the door behind her, and took out her cell phone to call the police. Just as she turned on her phone¡¯s screen, the kitchen lights came on. She looked out the door in surprise as she saw Gilbert ring at her. He was holding a tray of apple dumplings that they had not finished eating in the afternoon, but half of them were on the floor. Gilbert was so angry that he pounded on the kitchen door. Kisa rubbed her nose. She did just knock him with a cane, but she felt she had done nothing wrong, as it was him who sneaked around in her kitchen at night, and she could only think it was a burr. Only when the man stopped pounding on the door did Kisa open the kitchen door. But as soon as the door was opened, Gilbert yelled at her, ¡°You are f*cking nuts! I almost got KO¡¯ed by your cane!¡± ¡°I dare you to hit me again!¡± Kisa frowned in disgust Gilbert was so angry that he couldn¡¯t care less about his image as he pulled at his tie with all his might. Afterward, he softened his attitude when he saw her icy face. ¡°I was eating the apple dumplings when you suddenly hit me with a cane. The apple dumpling stuck in my throat, and I almost choked to death.¡± He sounded like he was frustrated and wronged. ¡°If you were so fragile, you would have been dead already, ¡°Kisa said with amusement. Gilbert¡¯s face could not be more darkened. ¡°Can you not always be so mean?¡± ¡°I¡¯m no way as mean as you used to be.¡± Kisa sneered, wondering why he had the nerve to use her of being mean when he had been acting that way all the time. Seeing the woman¡¯s face getting colder and colder, Gilbert stopped arguing. He took the tray with one hand and held her arm with the other. ¡°Come on, go sit with me.¡± Kisa pulled back her hand, then walked to the couch in the living room and sat herself down. Gilbert saw Kisa¡¯s face as cold as ice by the light shining from the kitchen. He clenched his teeth, knowing that she was challenging to coax. After turning on the living room light, he quickly came and sat down. He put the tray on the coffee table, then took off his shirt to reveal his back to her. ¡°Look, is there a very terrible bruise? I think it is bleeding already.¡± Kisa did not feel like looking at his bare back, but after hearing what he said, she did take a look. There was indeed a long bruise mark on his back. It was red and sunken but not as terrible as he had described that it was bleeding. ¡°There is nothing there. Besides, I just hit you with a stick, and you already got mad at me. Pretentious!¡± She said indifferently. He used to say she was pretentious. Now she just responded in kind. Gilbert gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Are you sure there are no bruises?¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. ¡°I¡¯m not blind. There is nothing.¡® ¡°Then why does it hurt so much?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I just say that? You are pretentious!¡± Gilbert gasped in anger and turned to re at her. ¡°A stick already makes you so angry. What a petty man. You may hit me back with a stick if you want. I won¡¯t say anything. In fact, it was your fault. You came in like a thief and didn¡¯t even turn on the light.¡± Kisa let out an indifferent smile. ¡°I thought you were asleep and was afraid to disturb you. Gilbert roared in anger, a pair of eyes filled with frustration and aggrievement. The look in his eyes was so sultry that Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She looked away and said faintly, ¡°You had better get dressed, lest you get sick and me me.¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and silently put his shirt back on. He then whispered, ¡°I brought you something. It is on the coffee table. Take a look.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes subconsciously swept toward the coffee table. The next second, her facial expression changed abruptly. Chapter 734 Chapter 734 Chapter 734 The Man in the Photo Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Kisa saw a worn photo album sitting on the coffee table and immediately recognized that it was her mother¡¯s photo album, the one she had seen at the Case residence but had not been able to take it. She hurriedly picked up the album and could not wait to open it. The first page was a snapshot of her mother sitting in front of the window, her face gentle, just as Kisa remembered. She stroked her mother¡¯s face, and tears fell involuntarily. They dropped right on her mother¡¯s bracelet in the photo. She hurriedly used her hand to wipe it, afraid of spoiling the photo. Gilbert watched her quietly, not forgetting to bring the apple dumpling to his mouth. Kisa took a deep breath and gathered her emotions. She closed the album and looked at Gilbert. ¡°Did you get this from the Case family?¡± Gilbert nodded. ¡°That day when I saw how precious you treated your mother¡¯s notebook, I thought of what you told mest time about going to the Case residence to get your mother¡¯s belongings. So I went to the Case family and asked them to hand over all your mother¡¯s things. All that remains are this photo album and a diary. The diary seems to have been soaked in water before, as the cover is blurred.¡± Kisa listened and swept a nce at the coffee table, only to find a bag next to the photo album. She quickly took the thing out of the bag. It was a diary with a blurry cover. She opened it and looked at it; much of the handwriting inside was illegible. No matter what, it was her mother¡¯s belongings, and to her, it was precious beyondparison. She once again looked at Gilbert. At this moment, he had finished the apple dumplings and was licking his lips as if he did not have enough. ¡°You haven¡¯t had your dinner, have you?¡± ¡°I came straight to you after spending half a day at the Case residence. So I didn¡¯t get to eat.¡± Kisa looked at the photo album and the diary in her arms. ¡°Sharon didn¡¯t want to give you these two things, did she? ¡°Heh, it was not up to her.¡± Gilbert leaned back on the couch and sneered. ¡°There is nothing I can¡¯t get in this world.¡± Kisa sneered, knowing that Gilbert was being narcissistic again. She saw the empty tray on the coffee table and said, ¡°There are still some uncooked ravioli left in the kitchen, so go cook it yourself and eat it.¡± Gilbert raised an eyebrow. ¡°Will you cook it for me?¡± ¡°Forget about it if you don¡¯t want to. ¡°What an ingrate.¡± Gilbert scolded with augh. He then stood up. ¡°I didn¡¯t get to eat because I helped you get your mother¡¯s belongings back, and you are not even willing to cook a ravioli for me.¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you, I would have gotten my mother¡¯s belongings back long ago,¡± Kisa said sullenly. Gilbert suddenly remembered how hurtful he had been to her at that time and felt terrible for it. He looked at her cold face from the side and suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Kisa frowned. ¡°What is the use of saying sorry now? Hurry up and cook the ravioli.¡± Gilbert smiled and turned toward the kitchen. She stared at him as he went before finally pulling back her gaze. She opened the photo album again. It was a bit old, but the photos were still clear. The first few pages were all snapshots of her mother. She looked very carefully. Every page she turned, her eyes would linger on her mother¡¯s gentle face for a long while. She did not look like Christopher at all but more like her mother. Kisa continued to flip the pages but froze when she saw the following photo of two people. It was a photo of her mother with a man whose eyebrows, eyes, and aura closely resembled someone. Chapter 735 Chapter 735 Chapter 735 You¡¯re Too Defensive Kisa took the photo from the album and carefully looked at it. There was a line of words behind the photo. It was the name of her mother and the man. There was also the date of when the photo was taken. ¡®Damon Kooper? Isn¡¯t that Gilbert¡¯s father¡¯s name? Is the man in this photo Gilbert¡¯s father?¡® At that moment, Gilbert walked toward her with a bowl in his hands. ¡°If you miss your mom, we can go visit her grave sometime. I mean, she is my mother¨Cinw after all.¡± Kisa did not hear what he had said. Instead, she just looked back and forth between Gilbert and the man in the photo. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± he asked. Kisa quickly closed the photo album when Gilbert came over. Seeing this, Gilbert frowned in displeasure. ¡°You¡¯re too defensive. You hide everything from me and treat me like an outsider,¡± he said. ¡°Aren¡¯t you an outsider?¡± Kisa asked indifferently, her hands tightening around the closed photo album. ¡®Jensen said that Gilbert would always react weirdly whenever people mentioned his parents. If he sees this photo, he¡¯ll definitely freak out. I should just keep it to myself.¡® Kisa hurriedly put the photo album and diary away. ¡®I¡¯ll take a good look at itter in my room,¡® she thought. Gilbert looked at Kisa¡¯s defensive appearance and felt resentful. ¡°Is that really necessary? If I wanted to have a look, I would have flipped through everything before showing it to you. Why is your guard up so high?¡± Kisa hugged the photo album and diary in her hands and said in a low voice. ¡°After you finish your food, go to the room you used to sleep in if you want to stay here and remember to close the door.¡± Then, Kisa got up and prepared to go back to her room. Suddenly, Gilbert grabbed her arm. ¡°Can¡¯t you just sit with me for a while?¡± the manined with a frown. ¡°You and I are tired of each other. Wouldn¡¯t we just hate each other more if we sit together?¡± Kisa sneered. N?velDrama.Org content. Gilbert was so angry that he wanted to break a bowl when he heard Kisa¡¯s tone of voice. However, he held back his temper and said, ¡°When have I ever gotten bored of you? Can you stop acting so entric when you talk?¡± ¡°Oh, haven¡¯t you? Didn¡¯t you always stare at me with disgust and yell at me in the past? It¡¯s only been a while; I can¡¯t believe you¡¯ve forgotten all about it.¡± As soon as Kisa mentioned the past, Gilbert was at a loss for words. Looking at the woman¡¯s icy face, he said in distress, ¡°All of that was in the past. Now, I¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care how you treat me now. I don¡¯t want to look at you.¡± After Kisa finished speaking, she pushed Gilbert¡¯s hand away and walked to her room without looking back. Gilbert stared at her back and mmed the table angrily. ¡®Who said that as long as I get her what she wants, she¡¯ll be moved by my actions? This woman¡¯s heart is as hard and cold as a rock. There is no way I could touch her heart. Gilbert leaned back hard against the sofa, so furious that he had lost his appetite. Kisa sat by the window in the room and could not wait to pick up the photo album. Once again, she turned the page to the photo of her mother and Damon Kooper. In the photo, her mother held Damon¡¯s arm as she smiled brightly. ¡®I guess Mom must¡¯ve really liked Damon back then.¡® She continued to flip the pages, but Damon no longer appeared in the photos. There was another man, though. Kisa quickly flipped through the album and saw that almost all the following photos were of her mother and the other man. ¡®He looks familiar. It¡¯s almost as if I¡¯ve seen him somewhere before.¡® Kisa thought about it carefully, and her heart skipped a beat when she realized¡­ Chapter 736 Chapter 736 Chapter 736 Secret Child ¡®Isn¡¯t that David? Adrien showed me a photo of Mom and David before. Isn¡¯t that him?¡® Kisa quickly took the photo out of the album and turned to the back. It was no surprise that David¡¯s name was on there. Emilia¡¯s stiff and expressionless face in the photo with David at the beginning had turned into a gentle smile. It was clear that her mom had fallen in love with David in the end. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. From the photo, Kisa also noticed that the bracelet her mother wore was now dangling on David¡¯s wrists. ¡®Mom must have really liked him to have given him one of her prized possessions,¡® she thought. ¡®But where is David now? Is there still a misunderstanding between them?¡® Kisa had always felt uneasy about all the regrets in their rtionship. She leaned against the chair, feeling troubled. ¡®Regardless of whether David is alive or not, I must find him. I must resolve the misunderstanding between him and Mom.¡® Kisa did not want her mother to still be misunderstood by her beloved after she died. Then, she put away the photo album and picked up her mother¡¯s diary. She flipped through the pages quickly. More than half of the diary was blurry, and only a few pages could be read. She turned to pages with clearer handwriting and saw: [Dear diary, the air in the countryside is great. When I woke up this morning, everything was beautiful. I know the outside world is chaotic right now, and the rumors about me in the entertainment circle are flying around everywhere. But that¡¯s okay. I¡¯m not scared. David is here with me, and I¡¯m not scared of anything, as long as he¡¯s here.] [Dear diary, it¡¯s been four months since I left the entertainment industry. Life in the countryside is beautiful and quiet, but I can¡¯t help but miss the fulfillment of finishing a shoot. There are only a few months left before I get to go back. I¡¯m so happy!] [Dear diary, I¡¯m getting clumsier and weaker by the day. Everything I do tires me easily. Thankfully, David is here with me. He cares about me to the point that he¡¯s not taking care of thepany. He keeps telling me that he feels sorry that I must stay in the countryside, but I don¡¯t think it¡¯s that bad and I don¡¯t me him for it. I made this decision myself. He said he would marry me when everything was stable. I smiled and said that I would wait for him.] [Dear diary, I woke up today with a pain in my stomach. I panicked and quickly called David¡­] The words started bing vague and spective after that. Kisa flipped the pages again, but everything was unclear and ambiguous. She looked at the pages she had just read and frowned suspiciously. ¡®Did mom leave the entertainment industry for a while? How have I never heard of this? Clumsy? Weak? Stomach pain? What does all this mean?¡® Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she thought about one of the possibilities. She quickly took out her mobile phone and searched for the news about her mother. [GK Celebrity, Emilia Becker: Missing, Suspected to Be Hiding in the Countryside to Give Birth in Secret] [Celebrity Emilia Becker Has Been Missing for a Year and Is Suspected to Have a Child Out of Wedlock] [Breaking News: Emilia Becker¡¯s Chaotic Private Life. Pregnant Before Marriage and Gave Birth to a Secret Child ] All the news that Kisa found were rumors about her mother having a secret birth. Kisa was terrified when she saw it. Combined with the content of the diary she just saw, she felt even more horrified. ¡®Did mom really have a child with David? Did she really secretly give birth to that child? But where is that child now? Are they still alive?¡® Kisa could hardly believe what she had read. Her mother had never told her about any of this. ¡®Who else knows about this apart from mom and David? Who is that child? C¨Ccould it be¡­ Could it be Jensen?¡® Kisa was in turmoil and could not help but scream in panic frustration. Suddenly, the door pushed open, and Gilbert rushed into the room. Chapter 737 Chapter 737 Chapter 737 You Must Not Look ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Gilbert rushed into the room with a limp, holding Kisa in his arms, and asked. Kisa stared at the diary and mumbled, ¡°No¡­ No¡­ There¡¯s no way¡­ NO!!!¡± Gilbert nced at the journal suspiciously, and just as he picked it up to take a look, Kisa grabbed the diary and hugged it against her chest. ¡± Don¡¯t look.¡± The woman¡¯s defensiveness made Gilbert mad. However, he could not express his anger when he saw the shock and despair on Kisa¡¯s face. He suppressed the resentment in his heart and patted her on the back. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m here,¡± he said in a low voice. Kisa held onto the diary tightly, staring out the window with dull eyes. ¡®I must find out what happened between Mom and David.¡¯ During the night, Gilbert was worried about Kisa, so he stayed in her room and insisted on sleeping with her. Kisa did not have the energy to fight him, so she just let him do whatever he wanted. When she woke up early the following day, he was no longer in the room. However, he did send her a message which reminded her that there was breakfast in the pot. Although the text seemed thoughtful, Kisa could not help but feel ufortable and felt that the man was mocking her. ¡®He¡¯s been gentle and considerate to me for a while now; but it won¡¯t mean a thing when he gets mad. I still remember when he was living here back then. He also acted like a kind and caring man. He made breakfast for me daily and even sent the kids to school. But when he got mad, he was no different from a monster.¡® After turning off her mobile phone, Kisa got up, ate breakfast, and rushed to the set. She was still thinking about the matter between her mom and David. She nned to ask Jensen about it after work. Lea had been waiting for Kisa at the set early that day. After not seeing her throughout Christmas, Lea had lost some weight. There were also still some bruises on her forehead. Kisa asked Lea how she had gotten injured, and Lea just told her that it was so dark she identally fell during the night. Kisa did not ask much about it after that. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. The first day of filming went by smoothly. The main thing they had to do was to set the crew up in ce. Sharon waste. When she arrived, people started whispering around her. Her face was bruised and swollen as if someone had beaten her. Moreover, herpany had been destroyed two days ago, and the contract she had with GK Pictures had been terminated. She was the talk of the town. Kisa thought that Sharon would be reced since she was no longer an artist under GK Pictures, but Adrien stated that the roles had already been decided. It was toote for them to change things up so suddenly, as it would also affect the show¡¯s ratings. Kisa thought about it and realized that what Adrien said made sense. Sharon, on the other hand, was still authoritative and full of style. Arie leaned next to Kisa¡¯s ear and said in a low voice, ¡°Kisa, look at her, looking allcent. The director would have reced her long ago if the roles hadn¡¯t been decided.¡± Kisa had begged Adrien and the director to let Arie y the third female role in the show. Thus, Arie was grateful to her and listened to almost everything she said. ¡°It¡¯s fine. She won¡¯t be acting so proudly for long,¡± Kisa said with a faintugh. ¡®After this show, no one will ask Sharon to y a role in show or movie ever again. In the past, her image and reputation was supported by GK Pictures. Now that she has left GK, she is nothing.¡® ¡®What¡¯s strange is that Gilbert did not take action against Sharon even though he discovered she was the one who hired the killers. It seems like no matter what she does; Gilbert will always let her get away with it. I don¡¯t know what that man¡¯s thinking. All I know is that if I were the one to do all that, Gilbert would have burned me into ashes. He¡¯s so cruel to me.¡¯ Kisa could not help but feel annoyed when she thought of this. They had only finished filming one scene at the end of the day, but everything went smoothly. When Kisa was done with work, she did not expect Gilbert and Jensen toe to the set. Chapter 738 Chapter 738 Chapter 738 Just Us The two tall men with distinctive looks instantly attracted everyone¡¯s attention when they walked onto the set together. Arie tugged at Kisa¡¯s arm, more excited than anyone else, and said, ¡°Kisa, they must havee all the way here to pick you up. Ah, I¡¯m so jealous!¡± Kisa folded her down jacket, smiled slightly, and said nothing. Lea deliberately put her pointer finger to her mouth and said, ¡°Shh, Arie, we have to keep it down. Don¡¯t you know that a certain someone¡¯s eyes are red with jealousy? Be careful, or she¡¯ll take her revenge on you.¡± As Lea spoke those words, she deliberately nced over at Sharon, whose face was contorted with envy. Arie quickly covered her mouth and snickered. ¡°Yeah, you¡¯re right. We have to keep it down. Otherwise, a certain someone would get mad, and it wouldn¡¯t be pretty. The two of them kept talking among themselves. Despite saying they wanted to keep it down, they spoke louder than anyone else in the room. Every word they spoke stabbed Sharon right in the heart. Her face looked twisted as she clenched her hands beside her. Seeing that she was about to rush over, Cndina quickly grabbed her and said, ¡°Sharon, calm down. We can¡¯t get any more bad press. News reporters are hiding everywhere around here.¡± Sharon gave her a hard look and said, ¡°You useless piece of trash!¡± After saying that, she changed to a soft facial expression and greeted Gilbert. Cndina pursed her lips, her face full of dissatisfaction and aggrievance, but she did not dare to talk back. Sharon spoke loudly on purpose, as if she was afraid of not getting the attention of the people around her. Arie snorted contemptuously and looked at Kisa, but Kisa did not even nce at Gilbert and Sharon. She just went straight to Jensen. ¡°Didn¡¯t you make a reservation at the restaurant? Why are you here?¡± she asked. ¡°I was done with work, so I decided toe and pick you up,¡± Jensen said and smiled at her. Although the smile looked as gentle as before, it did not feel real. Thinking that he might be the child that her mother secretly gave birth to, Kisa looked at him withplicated feelings behind her eyes. Gilbert anxiously pushed away Sharon, who was standing in front of him, and moved toward Kisa and Jensen. He red at Kisa bitterly while thinking, ¡®You evil woman! How dare you ignore me!¡± N?velDrama.Org content. But no matter how hard he stared, Kisa treated him as if he was invisible. Gilbert was so angry that he choked on his breath. ¡°What a coincidence; you¡¯re here too,¡± he said, looking at Jensen. ¡°Kisa asked me out for dinner. I was free, so I came to pick her up,¡± Jensen replied with a smile. ¡°You said¡­she asked you out?¡± Gilbert asked with a serious expression. His heart was full of jealousy. ¡®Why did this woman ask him out on her own initiative?¡® Looking at his gloomy face, Jensen smiled and said, ¡± Yeah, she asked me out. We can go together if you want.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want him to tag along, just us,¡± Kisa said right after Jensen finished his words. Gilbert instantlyughed in anger. ¡®Is she really that afraid that I would disturb their time together? The more she acts like this, the more I want to rain on their parade,¡® he thought. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go together,¡± he sneered. Kisa frowned for a moment. She then patiently told Gilbert, ¡°I have something to discuss with Jensen. It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t tag along. I¡¯ll treat you to dinner after this, okay?¡± Her remarks went in one ear and out of the other. He had lost his mind to jealousy. ¡°Why can¡¯t I be there to listen to your little discussion? Are you afraid that I will disrupt your time together?¡± All the patience that Kisa had disappeared the moment she heard his tone of voice. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. I don¡¯t want you to barge in on us. Is that okay with you?¡± Kisa stared at Gilbert in annoyance while she said this. Chapter 739 Chapter 739 Chapter 739 Murderous Aura This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. Gilbert instantly clenched his fists, stared at Kisa, and said nothing. Kisa did not want to argue with him. She was already upset enough about the matter between her mother and David Kooper. She just wanted to ask Jensen about the situation. She did not look at Gilbert but turned to Jensen and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Jensen pursed his lips and said hesitantly, ¡°What about Gilbert?¡± ¡°What about him?¡± Kisa said as she pulled his arm and walked out of the studio. Gilbert stared at their backs coldly, and it was almost as if a terrifying murderous aura emanated from his body. Lea and Arie stared at each other but did not dare to say a word. The people around him were also too afraid of him to talk about what happened. However, Sharon was not scared. She hurriedly approached Gilbert and tried to add fuel to the fire by saying, ¡°Gilbert, Kisa is an ungrateful sl*t. The reason why she won¡¯t let you tag along must be that she is going to do something shady with Jensen. She¡­ Ah!¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Gilbert¡¯s hands were fiercely strangling her neck. Her face turned red immediately. She could not say a word. Instead, she just scratched at his hands, desperately trying to get away. The people around them were startled. Cndina quickly rushed over and said to Gilbert while she trembled, ¡°Mr. Kooper, please calm down. Sharon may not know how to read the room sometimes, but¡­ But it won¡¯t do you any good if she¡¯s dead.¡± Gilbert narrowed his eyes coldly and suddenly raised his hand. Sharon immediately flew through the room and fell to the ground in embarrassment. Arie was frightened and speechless. ¡°M¨CMr¡­ Mr. Kooper¡­¡± With a murderous aura, Gilbert turned around and left without saying another word. The chilling atmosphere on the set had not settled down even after he left. No one dared to talk about what had happened. Cndina hurriedly rushed over to help Sharon up and said, ¡°How do you feel, Sharon? Does it hurt anywhere?¡± ¡°Go away!¡± Sharon pushed Cndina away and roared. She stared in the direction where Gilbert had left and yelled, ¡°What¡¯s so good about that b*tch?! What else can she do besides seducing men?! Mark my words! Someday, you¡¯re going to die because of her!¡± Sharon burst into tears. ¡°That¡¯s what you deserve for going up to him when you already know he¡¯s mad. Weren¡¯t you just looking for trouble?¡± Arie snorted. ¡°Shut up, or I¡¯ll tear your mouth apart!¡± Sharon shouted The people around them were startled. Cndina quickly rushed over and said to Gilbert while she trembled, ¡°Mr. Kooper, please calm down. Sharon may not know how to read the room sometimes, but¡­ But it won¡¯t do you any good if she¡¯s dead.¡± Gilbert narrowed his eyes coldly and suddenly raised his hand.

Weren¡¯t you just looking for trouble?¡± Arie snorted. ¡°Shut up, or I¡¯ll tear your mouth apart!¡± Sharon shouted at her with bloodshot eyes. Arie was not afraid of her anymore. ¡°Be my guest. I don¡¯t think you have the guts to do it anyway,¡± she sneered triumphantly. ¡°You b*tch!¡± Sharon cursed loudly. She got up, wanting to attack Arie, but Cndina held her back. Lea also pulled Arie away and said, ¡°That¡¯s enough. Don¡¯t argue with a lunatic.¡± ¡°Hehehe¡­ A lunatic, you say?¡± Sharon suddenlyughed grimly. Herughter sounded creepy and unhinged. She stared at Lea and said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, a rtionship with him won¡¯t end well. Sooner orter, you¡¯ll die at the hands of that violent man. Even if he doesn¡¯t kill you, I¡¯m sure Kisa will when she finds out about everything you¡¯ve done.¡± ¡°Enough. Stop trying to cause fights around here,¡± Lea scolded Sharon and dragged Arie out of the set in a hurry. Arie was puzzled as she looked at Lea and then at Sharon, who wasughing. ¡®What did Sharon mean by that? Would it be better for me to tell Kisa about thister?¡® In the restaurant, Kisa had reserved an elegant private room. Jensen leaned back on the chair, smiled at her, and asked, ¡°Why did you suddenly think of inviting me to dinner?¡± Chapter 740 Chapter 740 Chapter 740 Her Biological Brother Due to suspecting him to be her biological half¨Cbrother from her mother¡¯s side, Kisa now felt perplexed. She nearly was not brave enough to look into his eyes. She fiddled with the food on the table and asked quietly, ¡® Let¡¯s eat first. We¡¯ll talk after we¡¯ve eaten our fill.¡± Even though she is prepared to question the affairs between her mother and father, when facing him, she is at a loss for words. She picked at the food on her te but did not take a bite for quite a while. Jensen quietly stared at her. After a long while, he put down his cutlery and chuckled lightly, ¡°You have something in your mind?¡± Kisa pursed her lips and made no sound. Jensenughed, picked up a ss of wine, and took a small sip. He spoke casually, ¡°You have questions in your mind. What do you want to ask me?¡± Kisa then lifted her head to look at him. She, indeed, could not hide anything from his eyes. She licked her dry, cracked lips to ask him, ¡± Do you¡­ know of your father¡¯s whereabouts?¡± Jensen¡¯s smile froze upon his face. His father seemed to be a taboo to him. Regardless of who mentioned him, Jensen would not be happy. Kisa immediately regretted asking. She lowered her gaze and said, ¡°If you¡­ you don¡¯t want to mention him, then just act as if I didn¡¯t ask.¡± If Jensen did not want to discuss his father for even a bit, then she would not ask any other questions. As for the suspicion in her heart, she would have to ask Adrien to see whether he knew a thing or two about it. As she was thinking about it secretly in her mind, the man opposite her suddenly gave a light chuckle, ¡°No, I merely didn¡¯t expect you to suddenly mention him, so I couldn¡¯t react for a moment.¡± Jensenughed and took another sip of wine. This time, he took a more enormous gulp down. Finishing his drinking, Jensen leaned back on his chair. He smiled at Kisa, ¡°If you want to ask, ask away. I¡¯ll tell you everything I know.¡± ¡°Your father, is he¡­ still alive?¡± ¡°He is.¡± ¡°Where is he?¡± ¡°I¡­ don¡¯t know,¡± he answered, hesitating a little. Kisa did not think much of it and continued questioning, The matter between him and my mother, did you know about it?¡± ¡°I knew a thing or two about it, but only from the words of others.¡± N?velDrama.Org content. ¡°My mother and¡­ and your father, did they¡­ have a kid together?¡± She hesitantly asked this question, struggling to say it out loud. After asking, she looked at Jensen while waiting for his answers. Jensen did not answer immediately. He loosened his ties and then took another gulp of wine. That is when he said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. You¡¯d probably have to ask my father this question.¡± ¡°Jensen¡­¡± Kisa stared at him closely. Her heart felt anxious, ¡°If.. if my mother and your father used to have a kid together, then would that kid be you? Then would you be my biological brother?¡± ¡°No,¡± regarding this question, Jensen answered this question decisively. He chuckled lightly, ¡°I lived with my mother since childhood. After my father was sent out of the country, only then was I epted into the Kooper family. As for my mother, I still remember her clearly. I only have one mother. She would absolutely not be your mother, Emilia Becker.¡± ¡°Really¡­ really?¡± Kisa smiled stiffly. She lowered her gaze while drinking her tea, ¡°It seems I must be mistaken.¡± As they walked out of the restaurant, it was already dark outside. Jensen had his hand in his pocket. Seeing the colorful neon lights outside, his side profile seemed particrly cold and indifferent. Kisa stared at him for a while, then said, ¡°Want to go home together?¡± ¡°No, you can drive back on your own. Be careful on the road,¡± Jensen still spoke to her with his usual gentleness and patted her head dotingly. Yet he was not the Jensen who would tell her everything like before. Finally returning to her residence, she sat in her car for a while. Then only did shee down. However, as she reached her front door, her body was pulled harshly to the side¡­ Chapter 741 Chapter 741 Chapter 741 I¡¯ve Waited Here for a Long Time She yelped out a cry. Her shoulder was pressed firmly onto the cold wall. Under the dim lights, she saw Gilbert¡¯s dark gaze and killer expression. She knew all this man¡¯s caring, and gentleness was just in glimpses. In his bones, he was a violent man. When he was in a rage, he was more ruthless than anyone. Kisa looked at him casually, ¡°Why? You need something from me?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve waited here for a long time, ¡°Gilbert spoke. His smoky voice was filled with suppressed rage. Kisa jeered, ¡°Really? But I didn¡¯t tell you to wait. You were being stupid yourself. Who can you me?¡± ¡°Kisa!¡± He gritted his teeth while the pressure applied on her shoulder increased. Kisa muffled a sound from the pain while secretly cursing the man for being sick. ¡°If She lifted her leg to kick him and spoke frustratingly, you have something to say, then spit it out. If not, then let go of me. It¡¯s freezing here. Gilbert held onto her lowering his head. For a while, he did not speak anymore. Kisa struggled frustratingly twice. He suddenly closed in to kiss her aggressively. Kisa was shocked and immediately shook her head to dodge. But Gilbert basically did not give her a chance to evade him. One of his arms was ced on her neck to hold her in ce. Another hand pinched her lower jaw, and his lips crashed into her lips harshly. It carried an intense rage and vengeance. ¡°Mmh¡­ Mmh¡­¡°Kisa tried her best to struggle, but the more she worked, the harder he kissed her. He even opened his mouth to bit into her lips. Kisa cried in pain and Gilbert let go of her. Kisa licked her lips, and a mouthful of blood scent filled her tongue. Her lips were still ring from the pain. She angrily stared daggers at the dark expression man, Are you freaking sick?¡± Gilbert raised his arm to wipe the blood stains on his lips. The corner of his lips twitched coldly. His smoky voice had a hint of self¨Cmockery, ¡°I am sick. I¡¯m deathly sick, but this sickness is all because of you.¡± Kisa stared at him and did not want to speak with this madman. Gilbert suddenly closed in on her and said in a low voice,¡± Speak. What did you do with Jensen just now? ¡°It¡¯s none of your business,¡± she replied. ¡°Why would it be none of my business? I remember telling you before we have not legally divorced and ended our marriage. I am yourwful husband, so isn¡¯t it my business?¡± Mentioning that unbearable marriage, Kisa felt defeated. She tightened her lips and did not speak a sentence at all. Gilbert seemed to have lost his patience and took a powerful bite at her neck. Kisa was in so much pain then she immediately took a breath. She was so angry that the tears were forced out, Are you a freaking dog?¡± ¡°I asked you, what did you and Jensen do together earlier? Kisa stubbornly stared at him and still did not answer. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Gilbert then huffed out twoughs lowly. He then closed onto her neck again for kisses and bites. People were still walking in and out of the condominium door at the side. Yet this man did not care about being embarrassed and kept holding onto her to torture her. Kisa was humiliated and angry. Frustrated, she said a low growl, ¡°I did not do anything with him. I merely had a meal.¡± ¡°You took that long to have a meal?¡± Hearing his icy tone filled with suspicion, Kisa immediately felt wronged and ridiculed heavily deep in her heart and a sh of sadness. ¡°Yes, we took that long to eat. If you don¡¯t believe me, that¡¯s up to you. Besides, whenever I tell you the truth, you never believe me. You only believe the angry, spiteful lies I tell you. If you really don¡¯t want to believe me, then fine. If I say that after I had a meal with Jensen, we went to a motel to have sex, will that be a good enough answer for you?¡± He stared at her darkly. The muscles in his arms were tensed from the anger. Kisa, instead, was so upset that she cried. Chapter 742 Chapter 742 Chapter 742 Having a Cold War ¡°You¡¯re always like this. Every time something happens, you always fight tooth and nail to question me like this. Do you give even the slightest respect to me?¡± ¡°You said you misunderstood me before and that you¡¯d make it up to me. Heh, is this the ¡®making up¡® you were talking about? There¡¯s so much damage and hate between the both of us. We were not meant to be together again.¡± ¡°Even though your suspicions about setting up the fire are gone, it doesn¡¯t mean Ipletely forgive you. The most I can do is not hate you. Truthfully speaking, our marriage had no meaning from the very start. You have no right to pretend to care about me now or to question me here!¡± Kisa cried and screamed at him. Her heart was filled with grievance and hate. Gilbert stared at her closely. She wasn¡¯t sure if it was due to him listening to it and feeling guilty in his heart or something else, but the arm holding her down slowly let go of her. After being released, Kisa immediately slid down along the icy cold wall. She sat on the floor flustered and cried while holding onto her knees without care. She honestly did not know what she had done to offend this man. This man always fought tooth and nail with her. His so¨C called gentleness and care were ording to his whims, and his attitude toward her was just based on his mood. If his mood was good, he would treat her with all smiles, gentleness, and care. If his mood was bad, he would ruthlessly try to cause her demise. As she thought about it, a wave of grief and sorrow overwhelmed her heart. ¡®What am I to Gilbert in his heart?¡® she wondered. She was afraid that she was nothing more than a pet to him. She was stricken with grief and felt wronged, but what she did not realize was that the mood of the man beside her was based on her own attitude toward him. Gilbert lowered his gaze to stare at her for a while. Then, he bent down his figure to sit beside her. He looked at the shadows cast by the streetlights and did not speak for some time. The woman beside him continued to cry. He wanted tofort her but did not know how to, so he just sat quietly beside her. Sometimes, people would walk through the door. They all looked at them with funny gazes, but all red back at Gilbert harshly. After an unknown amount of time, her cries slowly grew smaller. After a while, the cries slowly turned into small bursts of sobs. Gilbert looked at him from the corner of his eyes. Enduring for a moment, he spoke to her,¡± Kisa¡­¡± She did not respond. Thinking that she was still be angry with him, Gilbert sighed and continued to stare in a daze at the streetlights not far away. After another long while, the woman beside him ultimately made no sound. He could not help but scrunch his brows and yell at her,¡± Kisa?¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. She still did not make a sound. Gilbert frustratingly furrowed his brows and apologized stiffly,¡± It was my fault just now. I apologize to you. That should be good enough, no?¡± She still did not make any reaction. Gilbertpletely lost his patience and gave a low growl, ¡°Even with all that talk, in the end you were still on guard against me and treated me as an outsider. You didn¡¯t want me to follow along when inviting Jensen to a meal, that¡¯s why I got angry. It was your fault, and you feel wronged?¡® Despite how he growled angrily, she would just bury her face in her knees and make no response. He cursed out loud and stood up to smoke at the side. Due to his anger having nowhere to vent, he bit the cigarette and smoked harder. As if the cigarette he was biting was Kisa¡¯s lips and neck. He had a hand in his pocket while his back was against the pir under the roof. His eyes stared forward angrily. The single cigarette was finished quickly. He put out the cigarette butt forcefully, then turned his head to look at her. But he found out she was still in the same position, not moving. He immediatelyughed out of anger. ¡® ¡®Is she insisting on having a cold war with me?¡® he thought. He took arge stride toward her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 743 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 743 Chapter 743 Familiar Person ¡°I¡¯m talking to you. Why are you ignoring me?¡± He pulled at Kisa¡¯s arm and roared suddenly. Kisa¡¯s body leaned to the side from being pulled by him, and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she used her hands to hold herself up on the floor. She opened her sleepy eyes and growled at him angrily, ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°I¡¯m talking to you. What¡¯s the meaning behind ignoring me? I already apologized to you. What else do you want?¡± Kisa crawled up from the ground and raised her hand to push the hairs sticking to her face to the back of her ear. Then looked at him coldly, ¡°What? You apologized to me? Why didn¡¯t I hear anything? Besides, would an arrogant person such as yourself truly and sincerely apologize to me? Why do I doubt so?¡± This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. Gilbert was frustrated and angry. He stared harshly at her. Kisa pushed him off and looked on expressionlessly, ¡°It¡¯s toote. I want to go rest. If you want to go crazy, then do it yourself,¡± she said. She turned around to walk into the condominium block. Gilbert gritted his teeth out of rage, but there was nothing he could do to her. Kisa walked into the elevator, assuming that she had finally gotten free from the madman. However, as she let out a breath of relief she did not expect, Gilbert suddenly squeezed into the elevator just as the doors were closing. Kisa instinctively took two steps back and red at him angrily, ¡°You¡­¡± He leaned next to her and twitched his lips casually, ¡°It¡¯ste. I want to go up and rest too.¡± ¡°Then go back to your own house,¡± Kisa gritted her teeth. She thought deep down that making him give back the keys was probably impossible. She might as well change the locks another day. As if seeing through the thoughts in her mind, Gilbert spoke, ¡°Key¨Ccopying technology is super advanced these days. Regardless of how many locks you change, I can get the key for it.¡® Kisa choked from the rage. She looked at him with disdain and coldness without making a sound. Gilbert also did not speak and merely stared at the numbers on the elevator silently. Getting out of the elevator, Kisa purposefully walks much faster. She quickly opened the lock and swiftly ducked inside. She quickly tried to close the door and thought of barricading the door from the inside so that even if Gilbert had a key, he would not be able to enter. However, before she could fully close the door, a huge palm pushed it open immediately. Kisa was also pushed back together and stumbled backward. She looked at the man before her, irritated. ¡°Why do you keep pestering me? What are you trying to do? The most I can do now is to not hate you, so we should not interfere with each other, just like strangers. Why do you have to keep messing with me?¡± Gilbert looked at her intensely, ¡°I¡­ just want to pursue your love again.¡± ¡®I just want to make you love me!¡® This final sentence, he did not say out loud. Kisa suddenly chortled augh, ¡°I¡¯m afraid not many people would be able to survive this ¡®pursuing¡® of yours.¡± After finishing her sentence, she gave up and went back to her room by herself. Gilbert walked in and changed into slippers, then closed the door. He went to Kisa¡¯s door and stood in front of it for a while before walking back to sit on the sofa. He stared at the closed door absent¨Cmindedly. His gaze was dark. ¡®What do I need to for her to stop rejecting me?¡® he wondered. He leaned back onto the sofa. He massaged his forehead and thought deeply. If he chose to just let go and allowed Kisa and Jensen to be together, then she would definitely not despise him like this. Too bad he could not bring himself do it. Even on pain of death, he would not do it. The next day, Kisa met an acquaintance at the production set. When she saw the person, she was shocked. Chapter 744 Chapter 744 Chapter 744 Busybody This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. This was because the ¡®acquaintance¡® was Jolina. As usual, Kisa was shooting a costume drama while Jolina yed her servant. The first time and thest time she saw Jolina was atop Kerrona Hill. She did not have a clear impression of this girl. She remembered nothing about her except that she was together with Peter Webb. Based on her rtionship with Peter, why is she only ying a small role as a servant in this drama series?¡® Kisa wondered to herself, finding it suspicious. Jolina was very quiet. When shooting a scene, she was focused, and when resting, she would sit on the sides, not making a sound. Kisa took a bottle of water and passed it to her. She smiled at Jolina and said, ¡°What a coincidence. I didn¡¯t know you were an artist in this production crew.¡± Jolina nced at her, then took over the bottle, ¡°Thank you.¡± As for the other matters, she did not say anything. Kisa also did not ask any further and merely smiled and walked away. When work ended in the evening, Peter came over to the set. He might havee to look for Jolina. Peter looked tall and handsome. His gestures and motions had a glint of wicked charm. His lips twitched to an angle, and he seemed a little cynical yet incredibly charming. Unlike Anthony¡¯s wickedness, which was a subtle and sinister sort of evil that gave people a feeling of danger and fear, Peter¡¯s wickedness was wild and hard to hide, with an air of arrogance emanating from his whole body. As he entered, he attracted a lot of amazed looks. Kisa nced backward as she adjusted her purse. Today was a rare asion, since Gilbert had note to the set. She wanted to rush home as soon as possible. At that moment, someone suddenly bumped into her. She stumbled two steps forward. Looking back, she noticed it was Jolina. Jolina¡¯s expression seemed pale. She lowered her head and apologized, as if hiding from something. Kisa steadied her body and smiled at her, ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± As she spoke, Peter walked here with giant strides. ¡°I gave you a call. Why did you not pick up?¡± Peter stared at Jolina, asking with a terrible tone. Jolina lowered her head and spoke casually, ¡°I didn¡¯t hear them.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Peter chuckled coldly, then dragged her and walked. Jolina showed some resistance. She quickly pulled at Kisa¡¯s arm. She gazed at Kisa with a pleading look in her eyes. Kisa furrowed her brows in confusion. Even though she did not understand the situation, she stood before Peter. ¡°Can¡¯t you see that she isn¡¯t willing to go with you? What matter cannot be discussed properly and requires brute force like this?¡± Peter chortled augh and looked at Kisa,¡± Kisa, this is a matter between her and I. I¡¯d advise you to not be such a busybody.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know about the quarrel between the both of you. I only know that you¡¯re harassing thisdy.¡± ¡°Heh, harassing?¡± Peterughed mockingly. Theugh was slightly odd, and he looked at Jolina, ¡°You tell her, did I harass you?¡± Jolina lowered her head and spoke in a tiny voice, ¡°No¡­ No.¡± As she said so, she let go of the hand that was pulling on Kisa¡¯s arm. Peter sneered, ¡°You hear that? She said I wasn¡¯t harassing her. Move out of my way right now.¡± Kisa looked at Jolina. Jolina still had her head hung as if hiding something. She still blocked Peter¡¯s way forward and spoke to him, ¡°I just invited Jolina for a meal. Besides, she also epted my invitation. If you don¡¯t mind, you can go with us together.¡± Peter scrunched his brows, irritated. ¡°So what? She¡¯s not free to have a meal with you. Get out of my way!¡± After saying this, he swung his arm and immediately pushed Kisa to the side. His strength was tremendous Kisa wobbled a few steps to the side. Her whole body seemed to almost fall to the ground. Jolina gave out a cry Suddenly, a figure rushed in, held onto Kisa¡¯s waist, and directly brought her into their arms. Chapter 745 Chapter 745 Chapter 745 It¡¯ll Get Your Fingers Burned Kisa steadied herself, still surprised. She discovered that the person holding her was Gilbert. Gilbert squinted his eyes dangerously and stared coldly at Peter, ¡°Don¡¯t you know she¡¯s my woman? You dare put your hands on her?¡± ¡°So what? Who told her to be a busybody?¡± Peter smiled coldly, ¡°You should manage your woman properly. Don¡¯t let her meddle in other people¡¯s business. Thankfully she met me today. If it was someone else, it wouldn¡¯t be as simple as pushing her. She might even be physically hit on her body.¡± ¡°They wouldn¡¯t dare.¡± Gilbert¡¯s tone was cold. Kisa stood in his arms and could feel the killer aura emanating from him. As both sides were refusing to back down, Adrien suddenly came over. ¡°Oh my, I was wondering why the air pressure in the production set was so low. Turns out it¡¯s the both of you, ¡± he said. Following behind Adrien was Jensen. Jensen gave Kisa a nce and asked worriedly, ¡°You okay?¡± Kisa shook her head and instinctively wanted to retreat from Gilbert¡¯s arms. However, Gilbert was particrly assertive when holding onto her waist. He was not willing to let go in the slightest. Kisa gritted her teeth but did not struggle further to avoid making a scene and making it a joke for everyone. Adrien¡¯s gaze floated toward Gilbert and Kisa¡¯s bodies. The corner of his lips twitched into a meaningful smile. After a while, he looked at Peter, ¡°Aren¡¯t we all friends with each other? Why are we making such a fuss?¡± ¡°Heh, who wants to fuss,¡± Peter huffed and stared coldly at Kisa. ¡°It¡¯s just this woman again.

There are so many people standing up for you. You should tell them quickly, what difficulties do you have deep down? They would surely help you.¡± Peter¡¯s tone sounded odd. It was notforting at all.

After a while, she suddenly let go of the canvas bag, looked at Kisa and said, Thank you. I¡­ I¡¯m alright now. ¡°Heh, you all heard her,¡± Peter sneered and closed in on Kisa¡¯s face.

Kisa could not win against him in an argument, so she ignored him. Jensen chuckled lowly, ¡°Alright. You two go ahead then.¡± Then, he turned to Adrien, ¡°Mr. Tanner, constantly watching the younglings doesn¡¯t seem like a good idea.

Her eyes, which were once full of light, werepletely lifeless now. Peter could not stand how she looked as if she were dying. He continued finding ways to torture her; he refused to stop until the woman under him made a sound. Jolina¡¯s gaze gradually shifted to his face. When Peter saw her looking back at him, his heart skipped a beat, and his movements became gentler.

She had wanted to have tacos, but she, unfortunately, had not gotten the chance. ¡®What a coincidence. I insisted on eating here because I know he doesn¡¯t like eating food from food trucks. Let¡¯s see if he¡¯ll ever dare to forcefully make me eat with him again,¡® she thought. Kisa quickly finished a te of meat skewers.

The sight of Kisa¡¯s mocking smile made Gilbert feel ufortable. He lowered his gaze so that he would not see her and get angrier.

They wondered how she could endure the man¡¯s violence in the long term and that they should break up soon. Hearing the people¡¯s whispers, Gilbert gradually darkened his expression. Meanwhile, Kisa remained seated calmly. Gilbert red at her and smiled icily, ¡°Are you done? If you¡¯re done eating, then let¡¯s go.¡± Kisa smiled before slowly pulling out her wallet from her bag. However, the man was faster than her. He took out a few hundred¨Cdor bills and ced them on the table before dragging her away. The woman who sold the meat skewers counted the dor bills and yelled at their retreating backs in panic, This is too much!¡± However, Gilbert did not turn around; he strode out of the alley while dragging Kisa along. Then, he roughly shoved her into the car. Kisa fell onto the backseat untteringly. Before she could even sit up, the man¡¯s tall figure leaned down and towered over her.

He went to the driver¡¯s seat without saying a word. Kisa glumly followed him and went to the front seat. With a sullen expression, Gilbert started the car in silence. Kisa snorted. She turned to her side and leaned onto the chair as she peered at the buzzing streets outside the window. ¡®It¡¯s better if he doesn¡¯t speak.

Then, she squatted down and started puking her heart out on the grass next to her. Gilbert instantly paled. He found a bottle of water and hurriedly got out of the car. Meanwhile, Kisa was still puking. Gilbert squatted next to her and stroked her back. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You¡¯re feeling sick from motion sickness?¡± he asked in a panic. Kisa shook her head.

However, there was a residential area ahead, so there were some shops on the sides of the road. Gilbert stopped in front of a drugstore. He parked the car and quickly went in. The pharmacist was a woman in her thirties. After hearing Gilbert describe Kisa¡¯s symptoms, she frowned slightly, ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s motion sickness when she¡¯s throwing up violently?¡± Gilbert shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m not sure. But she¡¯s never had motion sickness in the past.¡± ¡°Well, it might not be motion sickness then.

Gilbert could not understand why the pharmacist needed to ask such a question, but he responded coolly, ¡°I¡¯m not sure.¡± It had been a while since the time he had forced himself onto her. However, he was not sure if she had done anything with Jensen. Gilbert could not help but feel upset at this thought.

She hurriedly propped herself up with her palm on the floor, hoping for the man to return speedily. Finally, a familiar license te came into view. Gilbert got out of the car in a hurry. Kisa smiled weakly and did not notice the man¡¯s expression that suddenly turned terrifyingly dark. ¡°You¡¯re finally back. Where¡¯re the pills?¡± Kisa was in a lot of pain. She genuinely hoped that the pills could alleviate the pain she was feeling. Gilbert did not respond. Instead, he threw the pills into her hands. Kisa hurriedly opened the box without even looking at the instructions. However, She lifted her gaze to look at the man and said weakly, Help¡­ Help me get two pills.¡± Gilbert did not move.

So, there was no strength behind the p, yet it was enough to rouse the anger in Gilbert¡¯s heart. Gilbert¡¯s eyes went scarlet. He threw Kisa into the grass angrily, tugged on his tie irritably, and shouted angrily at the woman lying motionless in the grass, ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were pregnant with his child, Kisa. What do you take me for? Don¡¯t forget that I¡¯m your legal husband!¡± Gilbert still could not let go of his hatred after yelling.

Gilbert shook her and snorted coldly, ¡°Stop pretending. Do you think you¡¯ll be fine if you pretend to faint? Tell me quickly. What¡¯s going on with that child!¡± However, the woman in his arms did not respond at all, no matter how hard he shook. Gilbert¡¯s eyes sank as he panicked. He hurriedly rushed into the car with the woman in his arms. ¡°Kisa, don¡¯t¡­ scare me!¡± Gilbert tremblingly growled as he put the woman in the back seat, rushed to the driver¡¯s seat, and quickly started the car. He nced at the unconscious woman behind him and felt chagrined. ¡®I didn¡¯t mean to be rough with her. I just couldn¡¯t stand her being pregnant with someone else¡¯s child.¡® He lost his mind while thinking of this, wishing he could drag her to hell together. On the way to the hospital, the car¡¯s speed exceeded the speed limit while Gilbert clenched the steering and felt extremely irritated. Once at the hospital, Gilbert hugging theatose Kisa rushed her toward the emergency ward. Gilbert leaned against the wall outside. His face was terribly gloomy. He scratched the cold wall, and his heart was a mess. He was even thinking, what would he do if she was really pregnant with Jensen¡¯s child? ¡®Let her go? No! I can¡¯t do it.

He only felt a little guilt toward me, even if he knew he had wronged me. How could he say such loving words? He seems to be able to make any concessions to keep me by his side but is still the Gilbert from back then?¡® A wave of dizziness hit her, and she was out of consciousness again before she even had the time to think about it. Kisa had another angry and terrifying nightmare during her sleep. In the dream, Gilbert punched and kicked her. He pinched her neck and questioned whose child she was pregnant with. His gloomy and violent look seemed to kill her inside as she woke up in fright. She stared at the white walls around her in panie when she woke up before realizing she was still in the hospital after being confused for a while. After settling down, Kisa felt a weight on her arm, and it was massive. She looked to her side and found Gilbert fell asleep at her bedside. He was using her arm as a pillow while his other hand held onto her hand tightly. Kisa felt her arm go numb. She wanted to retract her arm but was afraid to wake him up. ¡®He would definitely question me again about the child when he wakes up. I¡¯m speechless. What made him think I¡¯m pregnant?¡® Kisa closed her eyes in anger and refused to voice out when thinking of his act of violencest night and the sinister appearance in her dream. She turned to look out the window. The sun outside was imprinted on the window, making it extraordinarily dazzling, as if it had just dawned. Gilbert, still beside her, seemed to have sensed something after she woke up. He straightened up and looked at her, ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡± Kisa refused to talk to him, closing her eyes once again. Her arm was numb with a tingling pain when she moved it. ¡®Dude! Why do you insist on using my arm as a pillow instead of something else? It¡¯s annoying!¡® Gilbert¡¯s face was still ck. He thought about the child for the whole night and eventually decided to give in. He turned to the woman and said in a deep voice, ¡°You can give birth to the child. I can treat him as my child, the same as Andrew and Ada.¡± Kisa felt her anger rush to her. ¡®Where did the child from?¡® Kisa wanted to jump up and ask Gilbert where she would even get pregnant. ¡®He thinks I¡¯m pregnant just because I threw up twice. Is he crazy?¡® ¡°Don¡¯t ignore me. This is the biggest concession I have made. It¡¯s true. I would never let this child live through today if I didn¡¯t care about you,¡± He said in a gloomy tone, and there was even a hint of sadness and frustration in his tone. Kisa was furious until she wanted tough but did not have the energy tough. She pursed her lips but still closed her eyes and stayed quiet. At that moment, a sound came from outside the door. ¡°You are here to visit the patient, right? Why don¡¯t you go in?¡± Kisa opened her eyes slightly as she saw a doctor in a white coat walking in from the outside, followed by Lea. Lea held a thermos in her hand while the doctor took several patient records in his hand. Gilbert rushed to meet the doctor, his tone a bit anxious, How was she? Is there anything wrong with her health?¡± Although the man was angry, he was more worried about her body. Kisa stared at his tall back, and that strange and Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. contradictory emotion came up in her heart again. The doctor looked at the patient records and said to Gilbert, ¡°The patient has acute gastroenteritis. There should be nothing serious after the infusion. She has to take a lighter diet for some time. ¡°What about the child? Is the baby in her womb fine?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 753 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 753 Chapter 753 Level of Straightness Was Shocking The doctor was slightly confused when seeing Gilbert¡¯s anxious appearance. ¡°Child? What child?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t she pregnant if she vomits this way? Is that child fine?¡± The doctor could not helpughing when he heard it, ¡± You¡¯re mistaken. The patient isn¡¯t pregnant. It¡¯s just gastroenteritis.¡± Gilbert frowned and nced at Kisa again. Kisa looked at him like a fool and stayed quiet. Gilbert pursed his lips and remained silent. The doctor smiled and said, ¡°You can leave the hospital at noon if there¡¯s no other difort. You should pay more attention to your dietter.¡± The doctor went out after speaking. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Gilbert sat by the bed silently, looking at Kisa as if he wanted to say something. Kisa turned her face to the other side and ignored him. She had menstruated a few days ago when they were on their way to Hillsby. Gilbert knew that, so how could she still be pregnant? This man must not havemon sense, and his level of naivete was shocking. The atmosphere in the ward was a bit depressing. Lea looked at both of them. She took the thermos to Kisa quickly. ¡°Kisa, I made some porridge for you. Eat it while it¡¯s hot,¡± said Lea as she poured out the porridge that was still steaming hot from the thermos. Kisa nodded and was about to sit up with support when Gilbert hurriedly stood up to support her. Kisa defiantly pushed him and snorted at him, ¡°Stop being hypocritical here. Didn¡¯t you want to kill me last night?¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and said awkwardly, ¡°It¡¯s my fault. I made a mistake. I won¡¯t do this again in the future.¡± Kisa sneered, ¡°Don¡¯t say anything about the future. You have never believed me. You always think I have something to do with Jensen. Let me tell you. The rtionship between Jensen and me is tonic. It isn¡¯t as dirty as you imagined.¡± Gilbert stared at her deeply without speaking. Lea nced at both of them and smiled at Kisa hurriedly, ¡°Kisa, don¡¯t be angry. In fact, Mr. Kooper is very worried about you. Look at how anxious he was when he asked the doctor just now. Besides, he¡¯s still willing to ept the child even if he thinks you¡¯re pregnant with someone else¡¯s child. This proves he really cares about you.¡± Kisa felt a little conflicted and irritated as soon as Lea said it that way. Kisa could not believe Gilbert had feelings for her, but she felt he still cared about her a lot by seeing how this man dealt with her being pregnant. She was unsure whether she should believe her feelings, knowing she was scared to believe them easily. Seeing the woman was silent, Gilbert got up and said in a low voice as he was about to leave, ¡°Get some rest. I¡¯ll go for a walk and handle the discharge procedures for youter.¡± Lea sat beside her, took her hand, and asked worriedly, ¡± Kisa, are you feeling any other difort?¡± Kisa shook her head. Lea looked at her for a while and said, ¡°Actually, I think Mr. Kooper treats you well. Think about it. Will a man still be willing to raise another¡¯s child that might be in you if he doesn¡¯t love you?¡± ¡°Lea¡­¡± Kisa smiled wryly, ¡°Why do you think that too? Where¡¯s my child from?¡± Lea said, ¡°But he really thought you were pregnant with someone else¡¯s child just now. He was angry, but I can also see he really worried about you.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart could not help but be confused while listening to Lea. ¡®Originally, I didn¡¯t want to have any emotional interaction with Gilbert. But everyone¡¯s heart seems unwilling to follow the reason.¡® In an elegant clubhouse, Peter yed and challenged Jensen to a few billiards but could not decide the winner. In the end, Peter yed while blindfolded, scoring him a perfect thrust. The sexy beauties beside him cheered. Peter tore off the cloth blind from his eyes and smiled vigorously. He was wearing a white shirt with the cuffs half rolled up. The fine jade bracelet shone clearly on his wrist. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 754 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 754 Chapter 754 His Weakness Jensen lowered his eyes and nced at the jade bracelet. The corners of his lips curled up into an inexplicable arc. He put the billiard pole aside and adjusted his cufflinks with downcast eyes. Peter sneered, ¡°Why? Don¡¯t you want to continue?¡± ¡°No. You win,¡± Jensen smiled lightly. He had no intention ofpeting with him. Peter frowned displeasingly, ¡°What do you mean I win? You should finish this game and beat me, fair and square, instead of saying such displeasing things.¡± Jensen shook his head amusedly, ¡°Can¡¯t you just be the winner?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t say it so reluctantly!¡± Adrien came over with a smile at this moment. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? The both of you had a good time, so why are you arguing?¡± Peter leanedzily on the pool table and said in a muffled voice, ¡°Uncle Adrien, don¡¯t call me over if he¡¯s here in the future.¡± Adrien looked at him avuncrly, seemingly amusedly. Why? Aren¡¯t you having fun with him?¡± ¡°Well, I really hate his indifferent attitude, as if he¡¯s giving in to others. I clearly won him with my ability, but he is acting as if he is losing on purpose. It¡¯s really boring. ¡°Peter looked at Jensen andughed ironically. Adrien nced at Jensen. His avuncr eyes disappeared instantly, reced by a stern look. ¡°You too. Be serious if you are going topete with each other. Don¡¯t always have a¡­.¡± ¡°You guys can continue.¡± However, Jensen coldly snorted before Adrien finished, walking toward the bar with his hands in his pockets. Adrien narrowed his eyes, and a trace of anger slowly showed on his face. Anthony came over as soon as Jensen walked into the bar. Peter was in a bad mood and left after putting on his suit. Adrienposed himself, sat on a chair beside him, and looked at Anthony, who leisurely walked into the room. Anthony put one hand in his pocket and held a cigarette in the other hand, an ufortable and evil smile appearing on his lips. ¡°Why? Is there any bad news for me?¡± ¡°Mr. Tanner, what are you saying? Do I onlye to you with bad news?¡± Anthony sat down on the sofa beside him with a smirk. Adrien lit a cigarette with downcast eyes. He took a sip and smiled, ¡°I thought you were back in Athadale. After all, you lost so much money a few days ago. You might not get even a dime in the future if you don¡¯t exin it to Mr. Mullen Sr..¡± ¡°Well, how am I willing to return if I don¡¯t see Gilbert and Kisa die?¡± Anthony leaned back on the chair arrogantly and said to him, ¡°You probably don¡¯t know that Kisa was admitted to the hospitalst night.¡± Jensen¡¯s hand with the water cup tightened slightly. Anthony continued, ¡°What¡¯s more interesting is Gilbert actually thought Kisa was pregnant with Jensen¡¯s child. He doesn¡¯t even mind if the child belongs to Jensen. For that woman, he was willing to be the stepfather and raise the child for another man. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s funny?¡± Jensen leaned against the bar wall, the corners of his lips twitching slightly. ¡®Kisa is pregnant with my child?¡® Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. He felt ridiculous when he heard this. Adrien leaned back, exhaled smoke rings, and said, ¡°What do you want to say?¡± ¡°Ah! What I want to say is Gilbert loves Kisa a lot. It seems Kisa is his weakness. As the saying goes, no matter how powerful a man is, he¡¯ll not be far from death once he has a weakness. Well, why don¡¯t we use Kisa to deal with Gilbert?¡± Anthony said and stared at Adrien expectantly. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 755 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 755 Chapter 755 A Perfect n Adrien smiled, ¡°How are you going to use that woman?¡± ¡°It¡¯s easy. Set her up and made Gilbert see that woman sleep with Jensen with his own eyes. It could bring him down, and he and Jensen could kill each other too. What a perfect n,¡± Anthony spoke with gusto, his face excited as if he had devised the perfect n. Adrien sneered, ¡°He is even willing to help Jensen raise his children. Do you think your n is really useful? If a woman could make the two brothers kill each other, they would have been in trouble since long ago. How would they give you this opportunity?¡± Anthony swept the ss on the table irritably, ?? Everything I say doesn¡¯t work. So what do you suggest we do? Just wait?¡± Adrien smoked casually, ¡°What are you rushing for? Everything is going ording to my expectations, and every trap I set will work shortly. Just wait and see the good show when the timees.¡± Anthony scolded impatiently. ¡®This man asks me to wait every time Ie. My patience has long been exhausted.¡® He got up irritably, ¡°You can wait by yourself. It¡¯s better to rely on myself and not you. Although you said that method doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll still try it anyway.¡± ¡°I warn you. Don¡¯t act rashly. The Mullen family will be done for if my n is ruined!¡± Adrien spoke extremely coldly. The murderous intent in his tone made even the people around him shudder. Anthony squeezed his hand by his side abruptly. He turned around and growled at him, ¡°Gosh! What are you nning?¡± Adrien pulled his lips coldly, ¡°You can matchmake Gilbert and Kisa if you really have nothing to do lately. I want them to reconcile and love each other to the death.¡± Anthonyughed angrily, ¡°Are you trying to take revenge on them or be a matchmaker for them?¡± Adrien smiled meaningfully, ¡°Do what I say. You¡¯ll not be disappointed when the timees.¡± Although Anthony was deeply suspicious of his words, he had no choice. He snorted and left in a rage. Jensen came out of the bar. He smiled casually at the man sitting on the couch, ¡°You stopped Anthony¡¯s n. I thought you were doing it for me, but it turned out that you were just afraid he would spoil your n.¡± Adrien smoked a cigarette, did not respond to his words, and his face was expressionless. Jensen smiled lightly and said, ¡°You must be in a hurry if N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. it was Peter instead.¡± Adrien frowned, ¡°Get out of here if there¡¯s nothing else.¡± Jensen pulled his lips and said quietly, ¡°I forgot to tell you. Kisa already knows she has an elder brother and is looking for him.¡± Adrien froze, and his face turned extremely dark in an instant. Jensen sneered, turned around, and walked out. Adrien leaned back on the back of the chair, staring at the ceiling absently. The memories from many years ago came into his mind little by little. ¡°David, look. It¡¯s a boy who looks like you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. He can protect his younger sister if we have a daughter in the future.¡± Finally, she had a daughter, and their son had a younger sister. Unfortunately, that daughter had nothing to do with him. Kisa was discharged at noon. Although the pain in her stomach was gone, and there was no difort, she was still weak. She leaned on the head of the bed and watched today¡¯s entertainment report. There was a sound from the kitchen outside from time to time. It was Gilbert cooking nutritious porridge for her in the kitchen. Since he knew she was not pregnant, his attitude toward her immediately changed. He willingly followed what she said, was patient when she lost her temper, and didn¡¯t argue with her. She looked out of the window, a little depressed, thinking of his repeated attitude. She did not know how to deal with the rtionship with him. At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside all of a sudden. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 756 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 756 Chapter 756 Nothing Can Compare to Her Kisa was about to open the door when Gilbert walked over quickly. ¡°You lie down, I¡¯ll open it.¡± After saying that, he disappeared out the door. Kisa could not help but smile. She had noints when Gilbert was considerate. But it was different when he got angry. It had been a while since Gilbert walked out to open the door, but there was no sound outside. Kisa frowned suspiciously, got up, and walked into the living room. The door was open, but there was no one there. ¡®Strange,¡® Kisa thought. ¡®He went to open the door, but now he¡¯s gone?¡® She walked over weakly and stood at the door. She poked her head out and saw Gilbert and Jensen leaning against the wall outside, smoking. It looked so much like when teachers punished their students by asking them to stand outside the ssroom. Kisa could not help butugh when she saw them together. ¡°What are you guys doing?¡± she asked. The two men nced at her in unison and turned their heads to continue smoking. ¡°You haven¡¯t recovered yet. Go back and lie down obediently,¡± Gilbert said with a frown. Kisa leaned Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. against the door, ignoring him as she looked at Jensen and said, ¡°Were you the one who knocked on the door just now?¡± Jensen nodded. ¡°I heard you were admitted to the hospital, so I came to see if you were okay. Are you okay? ¡°There was a trace of worry in his eyes when he said that. Kisa smiled. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It was just the stomach flu. But someone suspected something else and made a huge deal out of it,¡± she sneered, ncing at Gilbert. Gilbert felt guilty. He pursed his lips and said nothing. Jensen looked at Kisa and chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s great we have that cleared up. You still look rather pale, Kisa. You should go in and rest. Gilbert and I will go in after we finish our smoke.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Kisa nodded obediently, turned around, and entered the room. ¡°She listens to you,¡± Gilbert snorted in jealousy. Jensen turned around and leaned against the other wall, looking at him with a faint smile as he asked, ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± ¡°All I¡¯m saying is that I¡¯ll take good care of her these few days. You can go about your affairs. There¡¯s no need to worry.¡® ¡°What? Don¡¯t you have anything to do? What about GK Pictures?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing more important than her,¡± Gilbert said with a firm gaze. ¡°Don¡¯t mention about GK. Nothing canpare to her.¡± ¡°Grandma is going to be sad if she hears that,¡± Jensen ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Gilbert furrowed his brows in sadness at the mention of Madalyn. ¡°I will try my best to make grandma ept her.¡± ¡°What if she never does?¡± ¡°Never?¡± Gilbert murmured with his eyes fixed on the ground. He did not say anything else. Kisa did not return to her room. Instead, she was resting on the sofa in the apartment. The sofa was not far from the door, and she could hear what the two guys said. Kisa¡¯s heart trembled when she heard Gilbert stating that nothing couldpare to her. She could not believe that she still felt something for him because of his affectionate words. She hated her own ipetence. ¡® After so much hurt and pain, when will I give up?¡® She lowered her gaze and smiled self¨Cdeprecatingly as the feelings in her heart became more and moreplicated. Kisa returned to the set after three days of rest. During the past three days, Gilbert had taken great care of her in every way possible, except for feeding her. Her cold heart was warming up bit by bit under this man¡¯s gentle and considerate care. His change in character made her so flustered that she kept trying to avoid her feelings. Fortunately, the filming on set was tense, which helped her focus. During their lunch break on set, Jolina sat alone in the corner near the air vent. Her thin frame made her seem rather pitiful. Kisa pursed her lips, took a long down jacket, and walked over. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 757 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 757 Chapter 757 Public Revenge Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Here, put this on. The weather hasn¡¯t warmed up yet, Don¡¯t get sick from the cold.¡± Jolina looked up and nced at Kisa, but she did not speak or take the down jacket. Her entire being gave off a gloomy and decadent feeling. There was no sign of light in her eyes. ¡°I hope Peter didn¡¯t cause you any trouble that day. Did he?¡± Jolina yed Kisa¡¯s maid. She did not have many scenes in the drama. This was the first time she appeared on set after that day. Her skinny figure trembled as she shook her head. Kisa saw several unknown marks on her neck. She had a guess as to how she got them, but she did not ask further questions. Seeing that Jolina does not like to communicate with people, Kisa decided that it was not a good idea to disturb her. When she was about to leave, Arie suddenly came over excitedly. ¡°You must be Jolina,¡± she said. Arie was a fant of gossip. She walked to Jolina¡¯s side and said, ¡°I saw you quarreling with Mr. Webb that day. Is there something going on between you two?¡± Jolina hurriedly shook her head and nervously said, ¡°No, there¡¯s nothing going on between us.¡± Arie smiled contemptuously. ¡°Why are you so nervous? I¡¯m not going to take him away from you. I heard he has close ties with Mr. Tanner, who invested in our show. Why didn¡¯t you ask Mr. Webb to get you a better role?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for that,¡± Jolina replied faintly, a distinct look appearing in her eyes. Arie pursed her lips in disdain and said, ¡°You¡¯re obviously pretending!¡± Jolina ignored Arie¡¯s remarks. Instead, she proceeded to hug her own knees and curl up into a ball. Kisa tugged at Arie and said, ¡°Okay, stop with the gossip ande practice my lines with me.¡± Arie pouted but obeyed as the two of them walked toward the lounge area. Sharon was rubbing her gorgeous red nails with her fingers when she raised her head and looked at Kisa with a smirk on her face. The next scene of the show was the plot whereby the vicious second female lead took advantage of the heroine¡¯s unpreparedness and pushed her into the water. The heroine was dumb and naive in the beginning. All she could do was ssh around in the water, waiting for the male lead to rescue her. Kisa could not help but frown when she read the plot. She subconsciously looked at Sharon just in time to meet her sinister smile. Her heart skipped a beat. ¡®Sharon is definitely going to take this opportunity to take her revenge publicly,¡® Kisa thought. ¡®This is depressing.¡® She closed the script and leaned back on the chair irritably. ¡®I have to find another way. Otherwise, Sharon would try not to get the scene right, and I would have to spend my afternoon in the water.¡® The weather was cold, and Kisa did not want to be freezing to death. The break time passed quickly. The staff set up the cameras and got back to work. ¡°The first scene, afternoon, take one¡­¡® ¡°Wait!¡± Kisa hurriedly stopped the director before he yelled, ¡°Action!¡± The director was taken aback. He looked at Kisa and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± If someone else had interrupted the director, he would have lost his temper. However, Kisa was the CEO of J & K Film Group and had rtions with Adrien Tanner. Thus, the director was polite to her. ¡°I have a request for this scene, director.¡± ¡°Who do you think you are to make special requests?¡± Sharon suddenly snorted. ¡°Do pray tell. Why can¡¯t she make requests? Mrs. Becker is also one of the investors on this show. She¡¯s the CEO of J & K Film Group. It¡¯s obvious that she¡¯s much more powerful than you,¡± Arie snarked. Sharon¡¯s expression turned cold, and she began to quarrel with Arie. Kisa ignored them, looking at the director, waiting for an answer. At that moment, Adrien and Peter showed up. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 758 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 758 Chapter 758 A Request Adrien and Peter found some seats in the visitor area. Once Peter sat down, he never took his eyes off Jolina. Kisa nced at Jolina and returned her gaze to the director. It was unclear whether it was because of Kisa¡¯s position in the show or because Adrien was there, but the director saved her some face and said, ¡°Tell me your request. I¡¯ll allow it as long as it¡¯s nothing too ridiculous.¡± ¡°Oh, it¡¯s not anything silly. As the plot for the next scene is the second female lead pushing the female lead into the water, I would like to request a change of actress if the second female lead doesn¡¯t perform well for the sake of better efficiency. This means she can¡¯t mess up her act more than five times. After all, we¡¯ve only started shooting for a few days. It¡¯s not toote to have another actress y the role.¡± ¡°Yeah, Ms. Becker is right. This will not only ensure the efficiency of the show but also prevent a special someone from trying to take public revenge,¡± Arie quickly added. Sharon started to explode at the sound of that, ¡°Piss off. Why should I be reced if I don¡¯t perform well? What if you¡¯re the one who messed up?¡± ¡°If I mess up, I will let you push me into the water until we get the scene right,¡± Kisa said casually. Sharon was not satisfied with the arrangement. ¡°No. That¡¯s not fair. I object to this request. Besides, what right do you have to rece me? I was hired by Mr. Tanner, you know?¡± As she said those words, she nced at Adrien expectantly. However, Adrien was smoking a cigarette and did not look at her. ¡°Uncle Tanner, it¡¯s true that you hired that actress. You have to find a way to settle this matter,¡± Peter said with a smile. Kisa looked at Adrien and said, ¡°Am I requesting too much, Mr. Tanner?¡± ¡°How could it not be too much? You are clearly trying to make things difficult for me. Even the best actress would mess up. How could we guarantee that we can take this scene in one shot?¡± Sharon¡¯s face blushed in anger. ¡°I didn¡¯t say you only had one chance, did I? I said five mess¨Cups, and you¡¯re out. Besides, you¡¯re an international superstar. Do you have so little confidence in yourself? Or were you just bragging about your fame?¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You¡­¡± Sharon gritted her teeth angrily while she looked over at Adrien and said, ¡°Mr. Tanner, look at her¡­¡± ¡°Five times is generous enough. With your acting skills, I¡¯m sure you can pass it on the first try. I made it five just to be safe. There¡¯s no need to worry,¡± Kisa chuckled. Sharon still refused to follow Kisa¡¯s request. She looked at Adrien eagerly, hoping he would stand up for her. But all he did was exhale smoke rings and stay silent. The deep expression he had on his face looked like he was thinking. Peter, who was beside him, said, ¡°Uncle Tanner, just agree to Ms. Becker¡¯s request. If the second female lead gets reced, it would only be because of her poor acting skills. There¡¯s nothing wrong with that.¡± ¡°You!¡± Sharon red at Peter angrily, but he did not even look at her. ¡°If she actually gets reced, I can give Jolina a better role,¡± Peterughed. Jolina looked away unnaturally when she heard him say that. Kisa found no trace of gratitude or joy on her face; there was only cold hatred and disgust. Without overthinking other people¡¯s emotional entanglements, Kisa smiled at Adrien, who had been silent. ¡°What do you think, Mr. Tanner?¡± ¡°Alright, I agree with your request. You do make sense, so let¡¯s get on with it,¡± Adrien chuckled casually. ¡°Mr. Tanner¡­¡± Sharon stomped on the spot angrily. ¡°Why are you so anxious? Are you scared people will find out that you¡¯re not the ¡®international superstar¡® you im to be? That it¡¯s only a name you call yourself and not a result of your acting skills?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 759 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 759 Chapter 759 She Seems to Have Seen a Bracelet In the past, the status ¡®international star¡® meant everything to Sharon. However, since she left GK Pictures, it felt like a type of mockery. She was livid. ¡°Okay. Let¡¯s start. The first scene, afternoon, take one.¡± Everyone went into position as soon as the director shouted, ¡°Action!¡± The heroine, dressed in luxurious and brocade clothing, stood by the pond with a sad face. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, miss. Although the Majesty bestowed a marriage on you and the Crown Prince, as long as you make it clear to the Crown Prince, he would exin everything to the Majesty, and the marriage will be voided,¡± the servant in greenforted her with a low voice. The heroine frowned slightly but said nothing. At this moment, another woman in a dress hurried over. ¡°Miss, miss¡­¡± The heroine¡¯s eyes lit up. She hurriedly turned around and asked, ¡°What is it? Did you find the whereabouts of Mr. Jay?¡± The woman in the dress looked over at the servant in green and said, ¡°You can go. ¡°Yes, Miss.¡± After the servant in green left, the woman in the dress said to the heroine, ¡°I went to find Mr. Jay, but he refused to see you after he heard that you were getting married.¡± ¡°Really? He doesn¡¯t want to see me?¡± The heroineughed with tears in her eyes. She turned around and stared at the body of water in front of her. At that moment, the woman in the dress suddenly pushed the heroine hard from behind. A huge ssh was heard, which was apanied by a burst of outrageousughter. ¡°Cut!¡± The director shouted unsurprisingly. ¡°Why are youughing? Compose yourself and work on how you push the heroine into the water. From the top!¡± The director pointed at Sharon and said. Kisa stood in the water, ring at Sharon angrily, but Sharon was smiling proudly on the shore. While the scene was being re¨Cshot, Gilbert appeared on the set. When he saw Kisa getting pushed into the water, his brows furrowed, and his face darkened in an instant. Peter nced at his terrifying face and sneered, ¡°We¡¯re just filming a show. Don¡¯t take it too seriously. If you don¡¯t want her to suffer, you shouldn¡¯t have let her be an actress.¡± Gilbert gave him a cold look, got up, and took a few steps forward. When Kisa was pushed into the water for the third time, his hands tightened, and his whole body tensed up. Peter stared at his angry appearance, casually ying with the bracelet on his wrist. Adrien looked down at his bracelet and asked with a smile, ¡°Why are you always wearing this bracelet? Does it hold any importance to you?¡± Peter was startled and subconsciously looked at his wrist. After a while, his lips parted as he chuckled, ¡°My dad said that this is the only thing my mother left me.¡± ¡°Oh, wow. Really?¡± Adrien smiled disingenuously. Although my mom left as soon as she had me, I¡¯ll find her as long as she¡¯s still alive. As for this bracelet, it acts as a reminder that I should hate that ruthless woman, Peter smiled and said with a hint of sarcasm. Aplex look appeared in Adrien¡¯s eyes. ¡°Can you lend me the bracelet for research purposes for a few days?¡± He asked with a smile. ¡°Well¡­¡± Peter rubbed the bracelet on his wrist, hesitating a little. ¡°What? You can¡¯t bear going through a few days without it?¡± || Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. That¡¯s not it,¡± Peter said as he took off the bracelet. On the other hand, Kisa was getting pushed into the water for the fifth time by Sharon when she caught a glint in the corner of her eye. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 760 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 760 Chapter 760 Your Woman is Righteous Ssh! Kisa struggled desperately in the water. This time, the director did not yell, ¡°Cut.¡± The y continued ording to the script. The servant in green heard the sound of someone sshing in the water and hurried over. Seeing the heroine in the pond, she immediately screamed, ¡°Help! Help! Mydy has fallen into the waters! Help!¡± When she finished shouting, the vicious second female lead pped her across the face. p! Peter could not sit still. He stood up abruptly and rushed a few steps forward toward the set. ¡°We¡¯re just filming a show. Don¡¯t take it too seriously. If you don¡¯t want her to suffer, you shouldn¡¯t let her be an actress. Maybe you should have made her your wife,¡± Gilbert snorted coldly. ¡°Well, aren¡¯t you a fast learner?¡± Peterughed angrily. ¡°I just told you what you told me.¡± The two men went head¨Cto¨Chead against each other, and neither of them wanted topromise. Adrien watched them from behind, and the corner of his lips slowly curled upwards. ¡°Cut!¡± The director finally yelled. ¡°You finally got the shot of pushing the female lead into the water, but why did you p the servant across the face? ording to the script, you should have acted like you were innocent. You should have pretended to be anxious and yelled for help. Why did you p her?¡± ¡°Huh? Is that what¡¯s on the script? I must¡¯ve forgotten,¡± Sharon said, looking all surprised. ¡°I remembered I had to p the servant. Did I get it confused with another script I memorized for another show?¡± The shock and confusion stered on Sharon¡¯s face were clearly fake. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she had pped Jolina on purpose. ¡®It must be because Peter said he wanted to let Jolina take her role,¡® Kisa thought. ¡®She had a grudge and took the opportunity of filming to express her anger against Jolina. What a narrow¨Cminded and vicious woman.¡® A deep, red palm print soon appeared on Jolina¡¯s pale face. while the surrounding area of it swelled up. Sharon¡¯s p was not only an actual p across the face but a hard one. However, Sharon showed no remorse. She did not even try to apologize. Instead, she nced disdainfully at Jolina, who had her head down, and said with a smile, ¡± Sigh, I must¡¯ve gotten my scripts mixed up. Anyway, what¡¯s done is done. It¡¯s just a small and unimportant servant role. I¡¯ll pay more attention to it in the future.¡± Thinking of how famous she was back then, the director did not say anything else. Kisa was pulled up from the water, and Lea quickly handed her a towel. She also wrapped a nket around her to keep her warm. Kisa held onto the nket tightly, and when she passed by Sharon, she suddenly pped her across the face. The p not only stunned Sharon but also shocked everyone around them. Peter, on the other hand, let out a sigh of excitement. He looked at Gilbert and said, ¡°Damn, your woman is righteous.¡± Gilbert looked down and said, ¡°She¡¯s not only righteous; she also likes to be poke her nose in people¡¯s business.¡± Peter snorted and did not say anything else. On the other side of the set, Sharon was stunned. She then yelled at Kisa, ¡°You b*tch! How dare you hit me?!¡± If it were not for Arie and Cndina, who was holding her back, she probably would have rushed toward Kisa and tried to kill her. Kisa rubbed her numb palms and chuckled at Kisa casually, ¡°Sorry, I remembered the script said to p you across the face. Maybe I was mistaken. Oops. I¡¯ll have to go and take a look. If I¡¯m in the wrong, I¡¯m sure an international superstar like you would be able to forgive me.

His eyes lit up; all he could see was Kisa. Gilbert strode toward Kisa. ¡®It¡¯s so cold today; she must be freezing,¡® he thought worriedly. When he finally got to Kisa, he raised his arms and prepared to embrace her. However, Kisa unexpectedly brushed past his shoulder and walked straight ahead. He immediately frowned. When he turned around angrily, he saw the woman walking straight toward Peter. The woman stopped in front of Peter and stared unblinking at him. This made Gilbertugh coldly out of N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. anger. ¡®Ah, this woman ignored my presence once again. But why¡¯s she interested in Peter again?¡® he wondered. He gritted his teeth and strode up to them. ¡°What¡¯re you doing? Why are you staring at him?¡± he asked sullenly. He badly wanted to shift the woman¡¯s fixated gaze onto himself. Kisa¡¯s peered at Peter; her gaze had a hint of doubt and suspicion. Peter was spooked by her gaze. ¡®Is this woman possessed or what?¡® he wondered. For the sake of his safety, he took a step back. Then, he said yfully, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you attracted to me? Why¡¯re you staring at me like that?¡± ¡°You, shut up!¡± Gilbert warned him as he threw him an icy nce. Peter was amused, ¡°Why? Are you jealous? It¡¯s a shame you¡¯re not as charming as me, so there¡¯s no use being jealous. You could make her look at you this affectionately if you had what it takes.¡± Gilbert gazed at him coldly; there was a faint murderous glint in his eyes. Seeing this, Peter felt even smugger. He crossed his arms across his chest and smiled, ¡°Seriously, Gilbert. You should be d that I¡¯m not interested in her. Otherwise, judging from her fixed gaze on me, you really don¡¯t stand a chance.¡± ¡°I dare you to say that again!¡± Gilbert spoke slowly and icily. In an instant, there was an appallingly hostile aura around him. Then only did Kisa feel the cold atmosphere next to her. She hurriedly stood between Gilbert and Peter to prevent conflict between the two. Kisa turned to Peter once more. She grew increasingly uncertain if what she saw earlier was a jade bracelet. After giving it some thought, she finally asked him tentatively, ¡°Do you¡­ have a jade bracelet?¡± Peter frowned, ¡°What does that have to do with you? What are you trying to do?¡± ¡°Nothing. I just wanted to confirm if you have a green ¨C colored jade bracelet.¡± Peter¡¯s frown instantly deepened. His gaze at her had a hint of inquisitiveness. ¡®How does she know about the jade bracelet? Does she have something to do with the jade bracelet?¡® he wondered. Seeing how Peter was silent for a while, Kisa felt a little panicked. She hurriedly grabbed his hand and examined his wrist. Peter was startled by her actions and immediately retracted his hand. Suddenly, he spotted Jolina striding out of the set. With no time to make assumptions, he hurriedly shoved Kisa aside. ¡°I don¡¯t have the time to mess around with you,¡± he huffed. Then, he quickly chased after Jolina. ¡°Hey! Wait up!¡± Kisa ran after him out of reflex. However, Gilbert¡¯s embrace engulfed her entire frame in the next second. Kisa struggled a little, ¡°Let go of me. What¡¯re you doing?¡± Gilbert squeezed her bossily. ¡°You¡¯re practically drenched. Aren¡¯t you cold? Yet you¡¯re still thinking about chasing men!¡± he said glumly. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business!¡± Kisa huffed while punching at his chest. Adrien stared at the two for a moment and promptly approached them with a smile. ¡°The thing you asked Peter about earlier, was it this?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 762 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 762 Chapter 762 Her Eyes Really Resemble That Woman¡¯s Kisa was startled and quickly turned to Adrien. There was a jade bracelet in Adrien¡¯s hand. However, judging from its color, it was not the one that belonged to her mother. ¡®Even though I¡¯ve only seen my mother¡¯s jade bracelet in photos, I vividly remember it being a shade of light wash of turquoise. It looked lustrous. While the jade bracelet Adrien¡¯s holding also looks costly, its color is a little deep. There¡¯s an obvious difference between this jade braceletpared to my mother¡¯s. I only caught a glimpse of it; did I really make a mistake? Am I rting everything I see to mother because I want to find her child, my biological brother, badly?¡® thought Kisa. Seeing the woman in his arms lost in thought, Gilbert asked lowly, ¡°I can buy you jade bracelets if you like them. I can buy you as many as you like.¡± Kisa snapped back and said coolly, ¡°There¡¯s no need. I don¡¯t really like wearing jewelry.¡± Then, she shed a smile at Adrien, ¡°Sorry, I made a mistake.¡± ¡°Are you looking for something rted to jade bracelets? You can tell me if you need help with anything,¡± Adrien immediately said with an amiable expression. Kisa pursed her lips and did not respond. She did not want to divulge matters about her mother to outsiders. Adrien stared at her lowered gaze.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡®I have to admit that her eyes really resemble that woman¡¯s,¡® he thought. Adrien¡¯s hand in his pocket tightly sped a lustrous jade bracelet while his other toyed with a jade bracelet that was significantly darker. Suddenly, he smiled, ¡°You must be looking for your mother¡¯s jade bracelet.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat; she turned to Adrien sharply. Gilbert frowned slightly. He, too, was staring at Adrien unblinkingly. How does he know about Kisa¡¯s mother?¡® he wondered. ¡°Don¡¯t be shocked. Didn¡¯t I tell you that I¡¯ve known your mother for a long time? I remember your mother gifting the eldest son of the Kooper family a jade bracelet as a token of love. Since you¡¯re on the lookout for jade bracelets, you must be looking for your mother¡¯s bracelet. Or perhaps, you¡¯re looking for the eldest son of the Kooper family?¡± Gilbert frowned when he heard the eldest son of the Kooper family being mentioned. There was an odd expression on his face. Kisa was worried that Adrien¡¯s mention of Gilbert¡¯s father would trigger his strange illness, so she said hurriedly, ¡°I coincidentally learned that my mother had a jade bracelet; that¡¯s why I¡¯m so conscious about jade bracelets. If you do get news about the eldest son of the Kooper family, do let me know.¡± ¡°Sure thing. I¡¯ll definitely do that.¡± ¡°Oh, look at how drenched I am. It¡¯s so cold; I¡¯ll be leaving now.¡± ¡°Alright, take care.¡± Kisa nodded. Then, she dragged Gilbert toward the changing room. Gilbert pursed his lips and did not speak. Nobody knew what he was thinking with that stiff expression of his. Kisa was worried that Gilbert was reminded of his father because Adrien brought up the eldest son of the Kooper family. She said to him while shivering, ¡°Gilbert, could you¡­ Could you go get me some warm water? I¡¯m freezing.¡± Gilbert immediately nced at her and scorned her. ¡°You¡¯re cold now? Why didn¡¯t you feel cold when you were chasing after a man?¡± he snorted icily. Kisa instantly rolled her eyes. ¡®It seems like I was overthinking. And I was worried that he was ill. Turns out, I was worried for nothing,¡® she thought. Even though Gilbert grumbled at her in a mean tone, he still went to get her some warm water. This was when Lea ran over and said hurriedly, ¡°Oh my, oh my. I¡¯ll go get the warm water. You stay here with Kisa, Mr. Kooper. I¡¯ll go get the water.¡± Lea said through her pants. Then, she hurriedly turned around and ran toward the pantry. Gilbert pursed his lips before turning around to face Kisa.

The shirt she wore was so drenched it had soaked through the nket covering her. Her lips had turned purple from the cold, and her body shivered slightly. Seeing Kisa this way made Gilbert feel upset and angry. However, he had no reason to be angry with her since she was in this state because of the shoot. Nheless, he felt a stuffy feeling in his chest. Kisa saw the man¡¯s sulky expression, but she could not be bothered. She turned around and walked toward the changing room. Just as she took a few steps, arge coat was suddenly draped over her shoulders. Then, his deep voice sounded, ¡°I worked hard to nurse you to recovery for the past few days, so don¡¯t get siek again.¡± Kisa frowned. ¡®No matter how I look at it, this tone of his sounds like it has a hint of contempt andint,¡® she thought. She reached out and prepared to remove the coat. However, Gilbert pressed her shoulders aggressively, Stop it! Put on the coat.¡± Kisa red at him glumly. 11 ¡®That¡¯s how he is, he¡¯s doing considerate things, yet he¡¯s saying mean things,¡® she thought. Kisa snorted icily, ¡°I¡¯m in this state, thanks to Sharon. And Sharon¡¯s acting this arrogant because you made her like this.¡± ¡®Wasn¡¯t he the one who made her like this? He never punished her, no matter the nasty things she did. Naturally, this fueled her arrogance and bossiness,¡® she thought. Kisa felt particrly annoyed at the thought of this. She then decided to forget about the man¡¯s gentleness and thoughtfulness from the past few days. She curled into her coat and walked toward the changing room in silence. Gilbert nced at her and followed suit. Meanwhile, Kisa kept her head low while saying glumly, Speaking of which, Sharon must¡¯ve hired the killers who were after us on our way to Hillsby. You almost died in their hands, yet you¡¯re not making her pay. I¡¯m honestly pretty surprised.¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Gilbert pursed his lips and did not respond. Suddenly, Kisa lifted her head and threw him a nce. ¡°Everyone says that Gilbert Kooper is cruel, heartless, and ruthless, but you seem particrly kind to that woman. You must love that woman very much for not holding her ountable for trying to kill you,¡± she sneered. ¡°What¡¯re you talking about?

I¡¯m keeping her around so that the true perpetrator will be drawn out.¡± Kisa frowned and looked at him skeptically, ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Of course. Think about it. If I really liked her, I would¡¯ve married her long ago,¡± the man said begrudgingly. Kisa gave it some thought. ¡®That sounds about right. But he¡¯s always excessively nice to Sharon, so he can¡¯t me me for thinking that he likes her,¡® she thought sulkily. While she was deep in thought, the man suddenly mumbled, ¡°Besides¡­ We still haven¡¯t gotten located Sara¡¯s whereabouts.¡± Kisa was stunned. ¡®He was furious when I brought up Sara the other day.

Meanwhile, Gilbert was also silent as he continued walking alongside her. When they got to the changing room, Kisa stopped him, You can wait at the door.¡± Gilbert nodded his head and did not say a word. || Just as Kisa was walking in, she suddenly remembered something. She took off her coat and tossed it at him, ¡± Put this on, in case you me me when you get sick.¡± Then, she walked into the changing room.

Gilbert¡¯s heart sank. He quickly put out the cigarette and rushed toward the changing room. Since the costume drama was filmed outdoors, the changing room was temporary and made of metal sheets. The interior of the changing room was shabby; there were only a few closets and a few leather stools. Since Kisa had taken off her clothes, she was left in only her underwear. Her entire body was against the side of a closet while her entire body trembled. One of her hands clutched her chest while the other pointed at the closet across her. Her pale face was filled with fear, Gilbert rushed over. He took off his jacket and draped it over her. Then, he wrapped his arms around her body tightly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± he asked worriedly. Gilbert could feel the woman¡¯s body trembling violently. ¡°Snakes¡­ There are snakes¡­ Snakes in the clothes¡­¡± ¡®Snakes?¡® thought Gilbert.

Among the clothes, something appeared to be moving. ¡°Why¡­ Why are there snakes?¡± Kisa asked in a trembling voice. She was so terrified her legs gave out, and she fell into Gilbert¡¯s arms. Gilbert tightened his embrace, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared; it¡¯ll be alright. I¡¯ll get someone to take the snakes away. Suddenly, he noticed a bite mark on the woman¡¯s wrist stained with blood. He immediately paled, ¡°You got bitten by a snake?¡± Before Kisa could respond, the man hurriedly yanked her hand over. Then, he started to suck out the venom from the bite mark. Lea ran in and was startled to state they were in, ¡°What¡­ What¡¯s the matter? What happened?¡± Kisa did not answer and merely stared at the man in front of her. ¡®He¡¯s sucking out the venom. Isn¡¯t he worried that he¡¯ll get poisoned?¡® she wondered. ¡°AH! Snakes!¡± Lea only noticed the snakes when they slowly slithered out of the closet. She instantly shrieked and dropped the warm water she was holding in her hands. She shuddered, ¡°Yikes, this is so scary. I¡¯ll¡­ I¡¯ll go get someone to help.¡± Then, she hurriedly ran outside. Kisa¡¯s expression paled further when she saw the snakes slithering out of the closet. Her body started to tremble even more. Gilbert spat out the blood he had sucked.

The snake that bit you is still here, so it¡¯ll be fine even if it¡¯s venomous.¡± Suddenly, a group of people rushed in hurriedly. Gilbert tightened the coat around Kisa subtly and held her tightly in his arms. Even though Kisa used to hate and me Gilbert, right now, in his embrace, she had a sense of security she had never felt. The staff quickly caught the snakes. Kelvin also arrived as soon as possible. Kisa was curled up in a chair. Even though she had a cup of warm water in her hands, her face was still ghostly pale. It was evident that she had a great shock earlier on. ¡°What?

Everyone around them was also stunned. Cndina teared up and said in an aggrieved tone, ¡± Sharon, I didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Shut up! You need to admit to your wrongdoings if you did something wrong.

Kisa quickly got the hint and promptly yed along. ¡°Oh no, I feel so dizzy and terrible.¡± While speaking, she staggered for a couple of steps. Lea rushed up to help her, but Gilbert was one step ahead. He wrapped his arms around her and sat back down in the chair, letting Kisa nestle in his arms. Sharon returned to her senses, red at Kisa, and yelled, ¡°You are lying. Gilbert just helped you suck up the snake venom, and he is fine. You stop pretending.¡± Kisa looked at her with a painful expression. ¡°A¨CAre you questioning Mr. Hoover¡¯s diagnosis?¡± She gasped, genuinely looking like she was dying. Kelvin looked tense and yelled at Sharon, ¡°How can you still doubt them when things havee to such a pass?¡± With that, he hurriedly took out two syringes from the medical kit and injected them into Gilbert¡¯s and Kisa¡¯s bodies, respectively.

I don¡¯t know where she is. I have never seen her in all these years.¡± N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Kisa studied Sharon¡¯s expression carefully; there was panic and fear on her face, and it looked like Sharon was not lying. Besides, she also figured that there was no point in Sharon hiding Sara now, and if Sharon was really holding up Sara, she might have used Sara against her or threatened Gilbert. She thought for a moment and asked, ¡°You hid Sara back then, didn¡¯t you?¡± Sharon shook her head again. ¡°No. She left on her own, really. I swear to God I¡¯m not lying even in the slightest.¡± ¡°Sara left on her own?¡± Kisa frowned, looking at Gilbert. This was something she had yet to really think through. She had always thought Sharon was holding Sara up. Gilbert scowled and said nothing. Fearing that they would not believe her, Sharon continued, ¡°Really, Sara left on her own. She saw you slept with Gilbert. She was so upset that she left. I¡¯m not lying; I don¡¯t have to lie to you about this.¡± ¡°It was you who set Gilbert and me up back then, wasn¡¯t it?¡± Kisa said. Regarding this point, Gilbert said he believed her and that she did not set him up that night, but she still wanted him to hear the truth of what happened himself. Sharon pursed her lips and shivered, not saying anything more. So Kisa sneered, ¡°It seems you would rather go to prison and experience the same torment I suffered back then.¡± ¡°No, I will tell you. I will tell you.¡± Sharon looked at Gilbert with evasive eyes. ¡°Back then, I was jealous of Gilbert¡¯s love for Sara, and I also saw Gilbert¡¯s dislike for you, so I thought I would let Sara see you sleeping with Gilbert. This way, Gilbert would hate you more, and Sara would break up with Gilbert. It was killing two birds with one stone.¡± ¡°Heh, what a way to kill two birds with one stone.¡± Kisa sneered and looked at Gilbert with sarcasm. ¡°Have you heard that? None of the usations you hurled at me back then are true. I¡¯m lucky to be still alive to find the truth. If I had died in that fire, I would have no way to prove my innocence.¡± Gilbert felt a pang of guilt inside him. He subconsciously tightened his arms around her waist as if Kisa would not leave him this way. Kisa looked at him quietly with growing sarcasm in her eyes. Just then, Sharon gradually sensed a hint of something wrong. She frowned as she saw the bitterness and mockery on Kisa¡¯s face and then studied Gilbert¡¯s expression. Her eyes darted back and forth between the two faces, and finally, she hissed at Kisa. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 769 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 769 Chapter 769 The Truth of That Night ¡°You b*tch, you aren¡¯t even poisoned. You lied to me?¡± Seeing that Sharon had figured it out, Kisa stopped pretending, as she had asked all the questions she wanted to ask. She slowly got off Gilbert¡¯s arms, and her face¡¯s frailty and painful expression vanished, reced by a bitter smile. Gilbert¡¯s heart sank at seeing her sudden change of face. He was astonished by Kisa¡¯s acting skills and unsure if it was a good thing. He now felt that he did not know her anymore. Sharon was so incensed that she red at Kisa and Kelvin. ¡°You guys¡­ You guys are working together to dupe me?¡± ¡°So what?¡± Kelvin snorted. ¡°If we didn¡¯t create this drama, we wouldn¡¯t have known that you did all those nefarious things back then.¡± 11 Belonging ?

The so¨Ccalled ¡®surveince¡® is just to scare you. I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a chicken.¡± ¡°You¡­ You¡­¡± Sharon gripped the turf ground, her eyes ferocious as she red at Kisa, and her stic face contorted with rage. And the angrier Sharon was, the more delightful Kisa became. She sneered at Sharon, who was still on the ground. ¡®This snake is not venomous. How will you kill someone with a snake when you don¡¯t even know it is not venomous? That¡¯s funny! Sharon, I¡¯m really curious how someone as stupid as you could deceive a man who has always been known to be intelligent.¡± While speaking, she shot a sarcastic, sideways nce at the person behind her. Gilbert knew Kisa was talking about him and knew he had wronged her and owed her that. So all this time, he had been doing his best to make up for it. Before the truth of the past was uncovered, they could still avoid talking about it and get along. He looked at Kisa¡¯s cold and mocking face and was flustered, knowing she had always been difficult to coax. Now that everything hade out, he feared she would cold¨Cshoulder him again. The more he thought about it, the more unnerved he was. He tightened his arms around Kisa and wanted to keep her by his side, as this way, it would be impossible for her to leave him. It hurt with his hands wrapping around her waist too tightly, but Kisa did not try to break free but just looked at him with a sneer. She wanted to make him feel guilty and regret it. Kelvin put away his medical kit and smiled at Gilbert. ¡°It seems that we have misunderstood Kisa. Now you must make it up to her, and as for this woman¡­¡± He nced at Sharon, his expression turning cold, ¡°You have to teach her a lesson.¡± Kisa sneered again when she heard that. She had never seen Gilbert punish Sharon, not even a harsh word. She was eager to see if he would let Sharon off the hook this time, just like before. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± Sharon hugged his pant leg and cried pitifully. ¡°I know I¡¯m wrong. Please forgive me. Gilbert¡­ I did that back then because I loved you so much. And¡­ And you should know that Kisa loved Jensen back then. If it weren¡¯t for my schemes, she would have been Jensen¡¯s woman, and you wouldn¡¯t have a chance. You have me to thank for that. You- Aaaaah!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 770 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 770 Chapter 770 Booster Shot Gilbert kicked Sharon before she could finish her sentence. The kick was so hard that Sharon fell to the ground and could not get up. This shocked everyone, including Kisa, at the scene. Kisa couldn¡¯t care less after thinking about the pain Gilbert had inflicted on herst time¨Cthere was simply noparison. All the treatments she received from Gilbert back and even recently were so violent that she was almost killed. The kick that Sharon took from Gilbert was pale in Sharon was lying on her stomach and ncing hatefully at everyone at the scene. Lea¡¯s heart skipped a beat when Sharon¡¯s eyes fell on her, and she quickly dropped her head and wrung her hands anxiously. Sharon sneered, and herughter sounded creepy. She looked at Adrien with a threatening look in her eyes. But Adrien did not look at her but just stubbed the cigarette with his thumb and index finger. Sharon withdrew her gaze in indignation and then red at Kisa. ¡°Don¡¯t get too happy too soon. You think the people around you¡ª¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Adrien suddenly rose to his feet and smiled at Gilbert. ¡°I know there are grudges between you guys, but Sharon is the second female in my drama. If things get too ugly, it will affect the ratings and reputation of this drama. So, do me a favor¨Dlet her go for now. You can settle the score with her when the drama is released, and the fanfare is over. How about that?¡± Gilbert said nothing but just stared at Sharon with a sullen face. Sharon, banking on Adrien as her savior, scrambled to her feet and hid behind him. Kisa nced at Gilbert¡¯s gloomy and tensed face before saying with a smile, ¡°Fine. She won¡¯t be able to get away from what she deserves, anyway. There is no harm in keeping her around for a while longer.¡± ¡°Thank you, Kisa, for being so understanding.¡± Adrien smiled benevolently at her and then asked the people around the room to disperse. Sharon now had no more delusion about Gilbert. Fearing that he would retaliate against her, she hurriedly bowed her head, bent her body, and followed everyone else to leave. Soon, only Gilbert, Kisa, and Kelvin were left at the scene, and the staff had also taken the snakes away. ¡°A snake just bit you. Let¡¯s go to the hospital,¡± Gilbert said nervously to Kisa, whose face was cold and who spoke not a word. He felt terrible and was convinced she was now even harder to please. Looking at the darkened faces of the two, Kelvin could not help but stifle augh. ¡°It was just a water snake. No big deal. Don¡¯t worry, okay? It is not venomous, and the injections I gave you both were just nutritional shots.¡± ¡°Thank you for ying along just now.¡± Kisa suddenly smiled at Kelvin. Kelvin quickly waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. It¡¯s not a problem at all. Speaking of which, it is my bad for having med you wrongly in the past and following Gilbert in hating you for so long. Hope you won¡¯t hold grudges against me.¡± ¡°Of course, I won¡¯t. We are still good friends.¡± Gilbert was upset as he saw Kisa being so amiable with Kelvin. ¡®Why is she so amiable with others but always treats me with contempt? How can I get her forgiveness?¡® Gilbert felt frustrated and powerless looking at her bitter face. ¡°What are you afraid of? They will be too busy looking after themselves by then to seek revenge on you.¡± Adrien nced with a sneer at Sharon, prostrate on the ground and looking panicked. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Sharon was not convinced and said eagerly, ¡°I don¡¯t dare to wait. Gilbert is ruthless when he retaliates. I¡¯m fearful every day. Mr. Tanner, what exactly is your n? Why can¡¯t you carry it out sooner?¡± Adrien smoked a cigarette and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he sneered, ¡°I can, but I have to give it a ¡®booster shot¡®,¡± he said, with a ruthless look in his eyes. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 771 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 771 Chapter 771 Too Deep In Sharon looked at his face and asked with trepidation. ¡°W- What booster shot?¡± Adrien snickered at her. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know. Just wait for it.¡± Sharon was about to ask something more when she saw a fleeting resentment on Adrien¡¯s face. The next second, Adrien requested his men to send her away. He sneered with a disdainful look on his face as Sharon left. Peter felt puzzled and came up to Adrien. ¡°Uncle Adrien, why are you helping her if you hate her?¡± ¡°You think I¡¯m helping her?¡± Adrien smoked a cigarette and chuckled. ¡°Haven¡¯t you been helping her get out of trouble? Isn¡¯t this helping her?¡± Peter shrugged amusedly. He looked down and smoothened the creases of his pant legs. ¡°No. What I want is death for everyone in the Case family.¡± Adrien said in an emotionless yet sinister voice. It startled Peter, who now found his uncle more and more strange. Realizing that he had frightened Peter, Adrien quickly looked up at him without the earlier sinister look but a touch of avuncrity on his face. ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t you have something to see me? What is it?¡± Embarrassed, Peter stared at Adrien and said, ¡°M¨CMy bracelet¡­.¡± Adrien chuckled. ¡°It seems you care quite a bit about what your mother left you.¡± Peter¡¯s face changed at the mention of this. ¡°Not that I care about what she left me; I¡¯m just afraid I¡¯m slowly forgetting my hatred for her.¡± Adrien looked at the resentment in his eyes for a long while, then handed out the bracelet. ¡°Keep it well.¡± His fingers were unconsciously rubbing the curvature of the inside of the bracelet, feeling the familiar and long-lost sensation of roundness he longed for. Peter overlooked Adrien¡¯spse of mind as he took the bracelet. Adrien smiled sadly as the bracelet left his hand. Just then, he glimpsed the scratch marks on Peter¡¯s neck. He sat back in his chair, took a sip of tea, and said to Peter with a serious face. ¡°You are still young, Peter. Women are not the entirety of your life. Don¡¯t ruin your career for a woman.¡± N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Peter was looking at the bracelet to see if it was damaged when he heard this. He frowned, feeling not too happy. Uncle Adrien, aren¡¯t you the one who said we should fight for whatever we want? Even if a woman¡¯s heart is not with us, we must own the woman?¡± ¡°I ¡°That is true, but only if you don¡¯t get caught up in it yourself.¡± Adrien looked at him with concern. But Peter was in a depressed mood. ¡°I¡¯m not caught up in it. When I tire of her, I will pull out.¡± ¡°Okay, just remember that. Don¡¯t try to win her over if a woman¡¯s heart is not with you. If you get too deep in, you will only hurt yourself.¡± ¡°I got it.¡± Peter did not want to hear these words. He turned around and left. As he put the bracelet on his wrist, he suddenly remembered Kisa¡¯s strange behavior toward him the other day. He frowned and looked back at Adrien. ¡°By the way, Kisa asked me about the bracelet the other day. Do you know what it was about?¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Adrien smiled faintly at him. ¡°I have asked; she said she mistook it as something she was looking for.¡± ¡°What is she looking for?¡± Adrien shrugged with a faint smile. ¡°Who knows? Probably something like a bracelet, too.¡± Peter asked no more questions. As soon as Peter left, Jensen came out of the pantry and leaned against the wall with his arms crossed in front of his chest with a sneer. ¡°I wonder if he will understand your good intentions.¡± Adrien looked at him, his face turning frosty. Jensen snickered and continued. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t say a word that I shouldn¡¯t.¡± This afternoon, Kisa had just finished shooting a scene and was taking a break in the chair when Lea suddenly ran over. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 772 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 772 Chapter 772 Like a Clown ¡°Kisa, Kisa, Mr. Kooper has sent flowers again.¡± Lea held arge bouquet of roses in her hand. The gorgeous dark red roses stood out, and everyone, including Sharon, and Sharon¡¯s mother, Carolyn, on the set was looking her way. Carolyn hade to visit Sharon today. She was wearing heavy makeup and dressed up, even for her age. It made people wonder if she was trying to seduce someone. Seeing that Kisa said nothing for a long moment, Lea said with regret, ¡°Should I throw this bouquet away as usual? It is a pity. It is such a beautiful bouquet.¡± She then turned around and was about to go to the garbage bin. Just then, Kisa called out to her, nced meaningfully at Carolyn and Sharon, and then took the roses from Lea¡¯s arms. Carolyn had been muttering in Sharon¡¯s ear with a look of contempt and jealousy on her face when Lea ran over with the flowers. So Kisa thought she might as well make them jealous since they were such green¨Ceyed monsters. ¡°Kisa, you are finally willing to ept the flowers from Mr. Kooper,¡± Lea said joyfully. Kisa brought the roses to her nose and sniffed them, and said in a voice that was just loud enough for Sharon and Carolyn to hear, ¡°Since Gilbert sends flowers every day and looks so sincere, I will take them with reluctance. Besides, throwing them away would be too wasteful.¡± ¡°Absolutely!¡± Lea nodded her head vigorously. ¡°Look how proud you are, as if you have never received flowers from a man in your life. What an embarrassment. Sharon received way more flowers from Mr. Kooper back then. What is so big a deal about a bunch of roses?¡± Carolyn sneered. As Carolyn¡¯s voice trailed off, Davian came over, followed by a few bodyguards, hauling a cart full of flowers of all kinds. Davian¡¯s appearance with the flowers dumbfounded everyone. Davian walked up to Kisa and said respectfully, ¡°Ms. Becker, this is the flower that Mr. Kooper gave you. I hope you like it. He also said that he would formally pursue you. He invites you to dinner in the evening.¡± Carolyn was wide¨Ceyed. ¡°Sharon, did you hear that Mr. Kooper is going after her? That is funny. Hey Davian, did you make a mistake or something? Mr. Kooper is pursuing Sharon, isn¡¯t he?¡± Carolyn¡¯s overconfidence made her look like a clown in everyone¡¯s eyes, and they all snickered. Sharon was flushing big time, feeling humiliated more than a direct p. She tugged hard on Carolyn. ¡°That¡¯s enough. Stop embarrassing me already.¡± ¡°Sharon, what are you afraid of? Mr. Kooper has liked you from the beginning. You see, no matter what wrong you did¡ªeven when you terminated your contract with GK and started your ownpany¨Che never med you and still let you be the lead in this drama. Davian must have made a mistake. These flowers are supposed to be for you,¡± Carolyn said and ran up to Davian to reason with him. Sharon¡¯s face reddened with embarrassment. It seemed Carolyn did not know that Gilbert kicked Sharon the other day, and he was dreaming about her daughter bing the wife of GK¡¯s CEO. ¡°Davian, keep your ears open when Mr. Kooper tells you to do something. Don¡¯t get the name wrong again, like today. These flowers must be for Sharon,¡± Carolyn said and reached out to get the flowers from the cart. A bodyguard quickly pushed Carolyn¡¯s hand away. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I have a keen ear. I have never misheard a word of what Mr. Kooper tells me.¡± Davian sneered. Kisa suddenly stood up and smiled. ¡°Geez, Davian.¡±Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.

There is no wonder no one sends her flowers ¨C she is too old. She is jealous at seeing Gilbert send me so many flowers at once! ¡°1 Carolyn¡¯s heavily made¨Cup face scrunched up at once, looking repulsive. ¡°I dare you to say that again, b*tch!¡± Kisa let out a luscious smile at Carolyn. And when Davian saw her smile, he was transfixed for a moment. He had not noticed it before, but now he thought that Gilbert¡¯s wife was actually quite good¨C looking and that her smile was almost flirtatious. ¡®Tsk, Mr. Kooper really has an eye for women,¡® he thought. ¡°Auntie Carolyn, I know my dad is not a romantic, and he never sends you flowers or anything. So whenever you see others receiving flowers, you would get jealous and imagine that those flowers were for you or Sharon. I totally understand this kind of thinking. But hey, it¡¯s just a few bouquets of flowers. Since Gilbert has given me so many flowers today, and I have no use for them, I might as well give them to you and Sharon,¡± Kisa said, reaching out to the cart to take a few bouquets and stuff them into Carolyn¡¯s arms, and a few more into Sharon¡¯s arms. She then smiled at them and said, ¡°Come on, Auntie, Carolyn. Don¡¯t be mad or jealous. If you feel too terrible, just pretend that Gilbert has given you these flowers.¡± Carolyn¡¯s face reddened with anger as she felt that what Kisa said might not do any actual harm, but it was insulting. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Atst, she smashed the flowers back in Kisa¡¯s face and roared, ¡°Who wants these flowers of yours?¡± The flowers dropped to the ground and scattered all over the ce. Seeing this, Kisa shook her head and sighed. What a shame. It seems that you have a strong ego andpetitive spirit. Maybe I should ask Gilbert to send you a few bouquets to soothe your broken heart.¡± ¡°Shut the hell up!¡± Carolyn was so infuriated that she grabbed the flowers from Sharon and smashed them to the ground as well. She then sneered at Kisa, ¡°Don¡¯t be so proud of yourself. No one knows if it is really Mr. Kooper who has sent you the flowers. Who knows if you are just orchestrating this to make yourself look good?¡± ¡°Oh, in that case, you mean I hired Davian to make myself look good, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Heh, how is that not possible? Flunkies love only money, after all.¡± 11 ¡°You¡­¡± Davian was pissed and was about to argue with Carolyn when a few people with tall stature came over. Kisa immediately spotted Gilbert among them. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. With one hand in his pants pocket, Gilbert walked with ssy steps and a touch of detachment, looking very unapproachable. Jensen was different; he also had that ssiness but felt much gentler. As for Peter, he still looks frivolous, with an evil half¨Csmile on his face. Although Adrien was middle¨Caged, his dignified aura and calmness were in a different league from the other three. The four came together and really attracted all the attention on the set. Since some of the truth had surfaced, Kisa had been sullen and a bit resentful every time she saw Gilbert. She pulled back her eyes and smiled at Davian. ¡°Mr. Kooper sends so many flowers daily, and it takes up space. I will tell you what, distribute these flowers to all the staff and artists here. Oh, by the way, Mrs. and Miss Case don¡¯t like these flowers, so no flowers for them.¡± Carolyn shot Kisa a re and then looked at the approaching men. She sized up Adrien, finding that the more she looked at him, the more familiar she felt. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 774 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 774 Chapter 774 I Have No Appetite Dining With You ¡°Mom, he is Mr. Tanner I told you about,¡± Sharon whispered into Carolyn¡¯s ear. ¡°He is very good at what he does and says he knows you and Dad from way back.¡± ¡°Mr. Tanner?¡± Carolyn frowned and studied Adrien carefully. She could not remember when she had known this man, but the familiarity was real. Besides, that inexplicable familiarity made her blush and flutter. She hurriedly looked away, her cheeks a little red and hot. Adrien swept his eyes over her with a meaningful smile on his lips. The four men soon came over. The first thing Peter did was look around, obviously searching for Jolina. Not long after, he walked in a direction. Kisa nced over and found Jolina nestled in a corner. Gilbert came over and looked at the empty cart and then the flowers in everyone¡¯s arms. He then approached Kisa in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t you like the flowers I gave you?¡± ¡°Oh! It was really you who gave me those flowers,¡± Kisa said in surprise, her voice not too loud, just enough for Carolyn to hear. She shook her head and said, ¡°Gee, you will have to talk to my aunt about that. She thought I bought the flowers myself and said I hired Davian to put on a show. Look, she was so angry and smashed all the Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. flowers you gave me.¡± Davian nodded vigorously in agreement. Gilbert then looked at Carolyn. His insidious look frightened Carolyn. She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but thinking that she was the elder, and whatever she said. would only embarrass herself in this situation, she thought better of it. While she was red¨Cfaced and did not know what to do, Adrien suddenly walked up with a smile. ¡°It is not a big deal, Mr. Kooper. It is probably because thisdy didn¡¯t understand the situation. I will buy some new flowers for Kisater.¡± Carolyn stared at Adrien, her heart fluttering once again with a touch of blushing sensation. She then lowered her head with a bashful look. Kisa looked at Carolyn¡¯s change of expression and could not help but be puzzled. After a while, she smiled at Adrien and waved. ¡°It is okay, Uncle Adrien. It is just a few bouquets. Besides, this is my aunt. She ¡®took care¡® of me when I was little. So I won¡¯t take the issue up with her about these bouquets.¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha, Kisa is always so understanding,¡± Adrien said, looking at Carolyn with a gentle look in his eyes. ¡°It is only a minor thing, so don¡¯t take it to heart about it. We are all acquaintances, so let¡¯s all be nice.¡± Carolyn was usually arrogant, extremely patronizing, and would never listen to anyone. But at this moment, she nodded like an obedient child. Kisa became even more puzzled and curiously studied Carolyn when Gilbert suddenly took her hand in his. His hand was warm, and Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She tried to pull her hand back, but he tightened his grip even more. Kisa red at him, but he grinned and said, ¡°Shall we have dinner together tonight?¡± ¡°No!¡± Kisa declined right away. ¡°I have no appetite for dining with you.¡± At that moment, the director suddenly called out.

There were allpliments to Adrien and Kisa. While Sharon¡¯s face darkened with jealousy, Carolyn kept staring at Adrien as if she were smitten with him. Gilbert grinned again at Kisa. ¡°Well, now we are all going to dinner together. You can say no to me, but you can¡¯t say no to Mr. Tanner, can you?¡± Kisa snorted. ¡°Then I won¡¯t sit at the same table with you, she said and tried to pull her hand back, but he grabbed her hand like a scoundrel and would not let go. Kisa got chafed and kicked him. ¡°I need to start shooting now. Let go of me.¡± The director was indeed calling everyone over. Gilbert smiled at her before letting her go. Jensen, who sat at the same table, looked at their interaction quietly, expressionless. Adrien was generous and reserved the best bistro in Calthon for themselves. The night was vivacious, with some crew members and artists who knew each other well taking turns to toast each other. Everyone was having a st. At first, Kisa did not want to sit at the same table as Gilbert. But Adrien had arranged for them to sit together. Other than Adrien, Gilbert, and Kisa, Jensen, Mia, Peter, Jolina, Sharon, and Carolyn were also at the table. Kisa felt Gilbert was sticking to her too much for herfort these days. He stayed at her ce every night, and no matter what dreadful words she said, he would not leave. Not only that, when she was filming during the day, he also visited her and sent her flowers daily. Even at this moment, she had deliberately sat between Adrien and Mia, but Gilbert insisted on switching seats with Adrien and sat down next to her. Like a thoughtful boyfriend, he served her food and poured her wine from time to time. Kisa was peeved and lost her appetite. ¡°Come,e, Mr. Tanner. I drink to you.¡± The director suddenly came over with a ss of wine. Adrien quickly held up his ss with a smile. But the wine sshed out on Carolyn¡¯s dress because he did not hold the ss steady. It startled Carolyn for a second, and she stood up involuntarily. Adrien grabbed some paper towels to help wipe the wine stains off her dress while apologizing to her. On normal days, Carolyn would have thrown a wobbly in such a situation. But today, she was strange, so much so that she said to Adrien with a forgiving face, ¡°It is okay. It is okay. It is just an ident. I can just wipe the wine stain away, and it will be fine.¡± ¡°No, you have got to change the dress,¡± Adrien said and immediately sent someone to buy Carolyn a new outfit.¡® Come on, let me take you to the lounge.¡± Adrien¡¯s thoughtfulness and gentlemanliness made Carolyn¡¯s heart flutter. She blushed and nodded, then followed Adrien outside. Kisa looked on as Carolyn followed Adrien away. She wondered if Carolyn had taken a shine to Adrien. ¡®It would be interesting if this is the case. I wonder what my father¡¯s reaction would be when he sees this.¡® While thinking, she felt a gust of hot breath blowing in her ear, sending a shiver down her spine. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 776 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 776 Chapter 776 Coming Closer for You to Hear Me She frowned and turned her head, only to see Gilbert¡¯s face inches from hers. She hurriedly moved to the side and red at him. ¡°Just eat your meal. What are you doing getting so close to me?¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t hear me when I called out to you a few times, so I had toe closer for you to hear me.¡± Gilbert let out a faint smile, which looked a bit dirty in her eyes. Kisa did not want to talk to him but ate her meal silently. Gilbert served her some more of her favorite dishes, but she resisted, covering her te with her hands and moving it away. Peter and Jolina were in the same situation as they were. Peter also behaved like a rascal as he tried to please Jolina, who always kept a stony face in front of him. She did not eat the things that Peter served him. Mia swept her eyes at everyone and could not help but sneer. ¡°Some women like to y hard to get. If they really don¡¯t like men mollycoddling them, they shouldn¡¯t havee to the table in the first ce.¡± Mia did not mince her words, sounding a bit mean. Jolina, being young, was too thin¨Cskinned. Upon hearing what Mia said, she blushed and rose to her feet. ¡°Enjoy your meal, everyone. Something came up, and I¡¯ve got to leave. Please excuse me.¡± She then grabbed her canvas bag and hurried outside. ¡°Jolina,¡± Peter called out to her, then looked back and red at Mia before hurriedly chasing after Jolina. Mia sipped her wine as if nothing had happened. ¡°That girl is just thin¨Cskinned. It was not like I was talking about her, really. Now I have gotten a re from Peter for no reason.¡± Kisa was not amused and shot her a nce. ¡°You were talking about me, right? Then why didn¡¯t you just name me at the beginning?¡± ¡°Yo, how dare I name you? Didn¡¯t you see these two men with sullen faces, looking like they were going to cut me up?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Jensen chucked two pieces of very fatty pork belly on her te. ¡°Just mind your own business.¡± I¡¯m Mia nced at the pork belly and frowned. She then picked up her cutlery and smiled at him like a Cheshire cat. ¡°This is the first time you have served me food. It is a memorable moment. So as much as I hate pork belly, still going to eat it, no matter what.¡± She picked up the pork belly and sent it into her mouth with a revulsive look. Kisa watched on, trying hard not tough. Sharon was afraid to make any statement after thest incident. Especially now that Adrien and Carolyn were not around, she did not want to stand out. She just ate her meal quietly, trying to make herself less noticeable. Meanwhile, in the lounge, Adrien thoughtfully poured Carolyn a cup of tea and said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry about just now.¡± ¡°No, it is okay. It was just a minor ident.¡± Carolyn sat in adylike posture and looked at Adrien with a gentle smile. Adrien was sitting across from her and smoking, saying nothing again. Carolyn nervously held the cup in her hands. After a long moment, she smiled at him and asked, ¡°Mr. Tanner, I have often heard Sharon talk about you. She said that you and I used to know each other, but I¡­ I don¡¯t remember seeing you before.¡± Before Adrien could say anything, Carolyn hastily added, ¡°But someone with a stature like you would be very impressionable. So I was puzzled. If I had actually met you before, I couldn¡¯t possibly have no impression of you.¡± Adrien exhaled a ring of smoke and chuckled. ¡°You were the top artist of GK, and I was just a nobody who could only look up to you from under the stage like any other fans back then. So naturally, you don¡¯t remember me. But I have always remembered that beauty of yours. || Carolyn was a little embarrassed by what Adrien said. She hung her head, bashful and yet secretly delighted. Adrien nced at her with a sneer. ¡°I told your daughter that you were an old acquaintance of mine because I wanted to bring us closer. I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡± Carolyn quickly shook her head. ¡°No, no, I don¡¯t mind at all.¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. A fleeting sneer shed across Adrien¡¯s face when he saw Carolyn¡¯s shy and gleeful look. ¡°You let go of me!¡± Kisa covered her chest and slumped against a tree, feeling terrible. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 777 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 777 Chapter 777 You Can¡¯t Catch Me At the end of the dinner, all the artists came to give Kisa a toast. Everyone was just so jazzed, and the atmosphere was so upbeat. Not wanting to kill their buzz, Kisa drank to them all, one ss after another. At first, Gilbert offered to drink on her behalf, but she still had a grudge against him and refused to ept his kindness. So, after many sses of wer, she was hammered just as expected. When she left the hotel, she insisted on Jensen driving her home. But Gilbert dragged her out of Jensen¡¯s car. She was pissed off and refused to take Gilbert¡¯s car. He finally had no choice but to bring her to stroll down the street. Kisa ended up hugging a tree trunk, wanting to throw up, but could not. She frowned, looking awful. Gilbert patted her on the back, trying to soothe her. ¡°You should have let me drink on your behalf, not stubbornly insisting on drinking the toasts and ending up with a screwed¨Cup body.¡± Kisa pushed him away. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business. Who are you, and why do I need you to help me? I don¡¯t need your help with anything.¡± Gilbert knew Kisa¡¯s attitude toward him would only get colder and colder. No matter how much he tried to please her, she just refused to talk to him properly. Kisa slumped against the tree and tried to retch a few times before staggering onward. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert followed her. Whenever she was about to fall, he rushed up to help. But Kisa resented his touch. As soon as his hand touched her, she was like a threatened hedgehog, bing bristled. He felt sad at the thought of this. Sometimes, he felt like he could no longer put up with it anymore, thinking about just forcing himself on her to tame her until she submitted to him. But he did not dare, as he knew how unyielding she was. He was afraid to hurt her, and more afraid to lose her forever. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± While he was in apse of attention, Kisa had run to and stood on the curb of the road and waved at him, calling out to him in a drunken, flirtatious voice. That voice sounded like a burst of electricity running through his body. He walked over and looked her in the eyes, knowing that whenever she was drunk, she never behaved sensibly. Kisa smiled at him and then hopped on one foot on the curb of the road. He furrowed his brow involuntarily when he thought of thest time she fell off a boulder when she was drunk and ended up sitting in a wheelchair for a while. So he reached out to pull her back. ¡°Come back down and walk properly.¡± But she dodged his hand and smiled at him. ¡°You can¡¯t catch me!¡± Gilbert¡¯s face turned grave, and he was about to carry her down. But Kisa suddenly fell into his arms without warning. Thanks to his quick reaction, he held onto her in time. Otherwise, she could have fallen to the ground. Gilbert grabbed her waist, wrapped his arms around her, and before he knew it, Kisa nted her sweet, hot lips on his. He could not believe that she had kissed him. With no coercion, this was the first time she had ever kissed him. Gilbert¡¯s heart was pounding, and he felt everything happening at this moment was like a dream. He did not dare to move, afraid that the slightest movement would break the beautiful dream that he was sinking and obsessed with at the moment. Kisa closed her eyes and kissed him for a long time, her kissing skills clumsy. But Gilbert felt it was one of the best kisses of his life. She kissed him along his jaw and slowly made it up to his ear. Her hot breath sprayed all over his neck and ear. He felt an urge in his body, wanting to break free of his suppression. Suddenly, Kisa whispered something in his ear, and his passionate desire receded at once. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 778 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 778 Chapter 778 Inducement ¡°This was how I seduced you to sleep with me, pissed off your first love, andter hurt your grandma. You called the police to arrest me and made those prisoners beat me up.¡± Even when Kisa was drunk, she still remembered these hatreds clearly. She put her hands on his shoulders, smiling sweetly and whispering, but her words stabbed into his heart like knives. She knew Gilbert knew she did not do those things back then, but she still wanted to mention it from time to time and even deliberately say that she did all those things just to taunt him. Now, she even went as far as kissing him to arouse his desire, and while he was on the verge of losing his self¨Ccontrol, she mentioned these things again to frustrate his fire of desire. Gilbert almost broke down because of that. He knew Kisa had always held a grudge, and those grudges and hatred were difficult to quench. But he never knew that her means of revenge against him were so ruthless. She was torturing him psychologically. He looked at her with frustration. ¡°I know you didn¡¯t do those.¡± Kisa shook her head and looked at him with clear eyes. ¡°I did it, really. And don¡¯t get soft¨Chearted. Just send me into-¡± ¡°Kisa!¡± Gilbert yelled in exasperation. She smiled beguilingly with a bit of smugness as she hooked his neck. Her red lips, as if unintentionally, glided over his jaw and Adam¡¯s apple. Kisa could hear the man gulp. She let out a beguiling smile that looked extra offensive in Gilbert¡¯s eyes. ¡°You know what? The people there are so mean. They beat me up every day and took my food.¡± Kisa giggled as she nudged his corbone beneath his shirt cor. ¡°But thank you for sending me there. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have known what life was like inside.¡± Gilbert could not stand it anymore and pushed her away. He clenched his fists, on the verge of going crazy. Kisa took a few sharp steps backward, then fell, sitting on the ground. She was in so much pain that her eyes welled up. ¡°Don¡¯t you like to stick to me? Why are you pushing me away now?¡± Gilbert was really sick of the way she talked. He gritted his teeth and wished he could teach her a lesson. But in the end, he could not bring himself to do it. After a long while, he sighed softly and walked over to help her up. But she suddenly got up and ran down the road like a woman possessed. Gilbert hurriedly looked around nervously if there were any cars on the road. Fortunately, the ce was remote, and there was no traffic. But there was still no guarantee that there would not be carster. So he figured he had better pull her back. He hurried toward her with this thought in mind. In a car parked not far away, Adrien sat in the front passenger seat, looking at the two people tugging at each other on the street. He let out an inscrutable smile. ¡°I hadn¡¯t thought about what the inducement for the boost shot was. This time, the inducement is right in front of me.¡± In the back sat Jensen and Mia. Jensen took his eyes off Kisa¡¯s and frowned at Adrien. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Adrien did not answer, just pointed at Kisa outside the car window and said to the driver beside him, ¡°Run over that woman.¡± Jensen was shocked. He subconsciously gripped the newspaper in his hands. Mia was just as shocked, asking, ¡°M¨CMr. Tanner, what are you doing?¡± N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. ¡°Remember, don¡¯t kill her,¡± Adrien said as the driver started the car. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 779 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 779 Chapter 779 Will He Die On the street, Gilbert tugged at Kisa and frowned. ¡°Listen to me. It is dangerous here. Come with me to the sidewalk. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. ¡°1 Kisa was surprisingly strong and stubborn when she was drunk. She shook off his hand. ¡°Go away. I don¡¯t need you to care about me.¡± Gilbert had no choice but to follow behind to protect her. He checked around from time to time whether there were vehiclesing. Just after he checked and thought it was safe, he heard a vehicleing from behind. It sounded like the vehicle was moving fast as if it would m into them the next second. He hurriedly looked back and saw a white car speeding toward them. What frightened him even more was that Kisa was six feet away from him, and the car was speeding toward Kisa. There was no time to look at the car¡¯s license te. He instinctively lunged at Kisa and pushed her away with great force. Strangely, the car suddenly changed its direction just as it was about to hit him. But the car¡¯s front side had still mmed against Gilbert, knocking him several feet out. The car did not stop but instantly sped up and disappeared into the distance. In the car, Jensen sat straight. The newspaper crumpled in his hands. Mia looked at him cautiously and did not dare to make a sound. She was tempted to ask Adrien why he was doing this, but she did not dare. Adrien was a man who was selfish and ruthless. She had learned his cruelty in the early years. He always used a kind tone of voice to make her voluntarily go on the road of no return. That time, if not for Jensen, that sick man might have wrecked her life. So, she was always fearful of Adrien. Adrien took a drag on his cigarette. ¡°Well done. Just the right effect I wanted. So that is a good booster shot.¡± He sounded unperturbed. ¡°Your so¨Ccalled booster shot almost killed them,¡± Jensen said slowly in a deep, bitter voice. ¡°They are not dead, are they? Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t let them die just yet.¡± Adrienughed carelessly. Jensen pursed his lips and looked in the rearview mirror. Adrien nced at him in the mirror and snickered. ¡°You are just too soft¨Chearted to do anything great.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Jensen chuckled with a hint of mockery in his voice. After being pushed by Gilbert, Kisa fell to the curb. Fortunately, it was winter, and she was wearing thick clothes. She was not hurt except for her knee, which hurt a little. She was a little drunk. But after what happened to her, she became a little more sober. But she still did not know why she was pushed. She nced at the road in confusion and saw Gilbert lying on the road with his hands covered in blood. At that moment, the memory of a car whizzing by and Gilbert¡¯s desperate lunge at her came to her mind. She hurriedly crawled toward him. Seeing the blood on Gilbert¡¯s arms and legs, she covered her mouth in fear. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Gilbert. Wake up! Wake up!¡± She cried in a trembling voice, but Gilbert did not respond. She hurriedly took out her cell phone to dial the emergency number, but because of fear and anxiety, it took her a while to unlock it after several failed attempts. After notifying the emergency service, she fell helplessly to the ground and stared at Gilbert, whoy unconscious on the ground. He had once again saved her with no regard for his own safety. She asked herself why she still wanted to doubt his sincerity after all this. She covered her face in grief, filled with remorse and self¨Crecrimination. The ambnce arrived, and she watched Gilbert beingid on a stretcher and carried into the ambnce, her heart bleeding. As she slowly hugged herself tightly and looked at the puddle of blood on the ground, a chill rushed up her spine as she asked in her mind, ¡®Will he die? Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 780 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 780 Chapter 780 I Won¡¯t Live, Either In the dead of night, the hospital lobby was empty and cold. Kisa leaned against the cold wall, staring nkly at the emergency room doors in front of her. The light was on inside, and Gilbert had been wheeled in for a while. She clenched her hands, panicking. Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps and the sound of a cane striking the floor. Her body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head and saw Madalyn, helped by Kelvin, walking toward her anxiously and angrily. SLAP! Madalyn threw a p across her face without mercy. But Kisa did not feel the pain, her body seeming to be numb; there was no sensation just that her eyes were red. Madalyn still wanted to hit her, but Kelvin grabbed her hand and said, ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., don¡¯t do that. Let¡¯s wait for the doctor toe out.¡± Madalyn¡¯s grief was so great that even though Kelvin gripped her hand, she still swung her cane to hit Kisa with the other. ¡°You vermin, why don¡¯t you just die?¡± Madalyn hissed at her, her mournful cry echoing in the empty hall. Kisa bit her lower lip, and tears kept falling down. Kelvin nced at her and pursed his lips. ¡°Don¡¯t be sad. Don¡¯t me yourself. Let¡¯s wait for the doctor¡¯s diagnosis. Besides, there is still me. I would check his condition if it isn¡¯t because Gilbert is in an emergency; and I couldn¡¯t just go in.¡±N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Kelvin¡¯sforting words did not help. Madalyn was still bowing and crying with grief. She cursed Kisa. ¡°You vermin. You should have died a long time ago. You should be the one who got hit by the car. It should have been you! Kisa just kept silent. She bit her lower lip so hard that it started to bleed. Her tragic pale face was stamped with a red and swollen p mark, looking a bit wretched and pitiful. Kelvin quickly brought Madalyn aside. Just then, Jensen suddenly came over. He nced at Madalyn before walking quickly over to Kisa. When he saw the p mark on Kisa¡¯s face, he frowned, then took her cold hand and whispered, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Gilbert will be fine.¡± Kisa slowly raised her eyes, but they looked hollow. It took her a while before her eyes focused on his face, and she spoke in a low voice. ¡°You know what? He was hit by a car to save me.¡± ¡°You are a vermin. You won¡¯t stop until you have killed everyone in the Kooper family! Go to hell, you vermin!¡± Madalyn was infuriated and cursed as she came to hit Kisa again. Kelvin quickly hugged Madalyn and gestured for Jensen to take Kisa away. But Kisa leaned against the wall and refused to leave. She covered her face in sorrow. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean it. I really didn¡¯t mean it. Although I resented him, I never wanted him to die.¡± Jensen took her into his arms, feeling sorry for her. He stroked her on the back, trying tofort her, and whispered, ¡°I understand. It is not your fault. No one wanted that to happen.¡± ¡°B*tch! B*tch!¡± Madalyn¡¯s face contorted in anger when she saw Jensen and Kisa hugging each other. She rushed over with her cane and pulled them away from each other, yelling at them, ¡°You cheating couple! My grandson is still in the emergency room, and you are hugging each other behind his back! How can you two do this to him?¡± ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., don¡¯t be like this.¡± Kelvin ran over to hold her, afraid she might get too emotional and hurt herself. Madalyn red at Kisa. ¡°A woman like you doesn¡¯t deserve Gilbert. If anything happens to him, you will not live, either.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you worry!¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes were red as she stared at Madalyn and said slowly in a hoarse voice, ¡°If Gilbert doesn¡¯t survive this time, I won¡¯t live, either.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 781 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 781 Chapter 781 I Want To Be With Him Jensen¡¯s hand on his side stiffened a little. Her love for that man was stronger than her hatred. Mrs. Kooper Sr. spat, ¡°You better remember what you¡¯ve just said! Also, if my grandson is hale and hearty, you better stay away from him. You¡¯re an ill omen. Woe be upon whoever gets close to you!¡± As soon as Mrs. Kooper Sr. said that, the ER door opened. Kisa¡¯s heart trembled as she hurried toward the open door. As the doctor walked out, Gilbert, too was pushed out. Gilbert¡¯s face was a little pale, and he looked very weak. Kelvin immediately stepped forward to ask the doctor about Gilbert¡¯s condition. The doctor smiled and said, ¡°He¡¯s not in any danger, but the scratches were quite deep, and he lost a lot of blood. So, he needs to rest and recuperate for a while.¡± When she heard this, Kisa heaved a sigh of relief. Her strength seemed to have been suddenly sapped away as she tumbled to the side. Jensen was quick on the uptake and immediately held her. With Jensen¡¯s help, Kisa barely managed to keep her bnce. Mrs. Kooper Sr. too was relieved as she leaned by Gilbert¡¯s bedside and stroked his hand. ¡°It¡¯s good you¡¯re safe. I was afraid that he¡¯ll end up like his parents, never waking up again.¡± As she said that, Mrs. Kooper Sr. started sobbing again. Kelvin patted her back and smiled as he consoled her, ¡± Gilbert won¡¯t. He¡¯s always a lucky one.¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. nodded and looked at the doctor. ¡°I want to go ahead with the discharge procedure of my grandson. The hospital is nowhereparable to home, and I want to take him home to recuperate. Is that okay?¡± ¡°But of course,¡± The doctor smiled. Kelvin suddenly caught sight of Kisa stretching her neck out to see how Gilbert was doing but dared not get close. He quickly turned around and said to Mrs. Kooper Sr., How about we get Gilbert to rest at my ce? I can still attend to him if there¡¯s anything wrong, no?¡± Those words seemed to remind Mrs. Kooper Sr. of something. She looked at him and said, ¡°You¡¯re right. Go back and pack up, then. You¡¯ll move to the Kooper residence tomorrow.¡± Kelvin almost rolled his eyes as heughed that off, ¡°I can¡¯t. I still have Gracie back at home. Also, Andrew and Ada are quite the boisterous lot. They¡¯ll be interfering with his rest. My ce is much quieter, so it¡¯s the best ce for him to go.¡± As Mrs. Kooper Sr. heard that, she felt he had a point. She then nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± As a result, Gilbert was sent to Kelvin¡¯s ce that night. Mrs. Kooper Sr. also followed him all the way there. As for Kisa, she and Jensen returned to her ce after Gilbert was discharged. Along the way, Kisa did not say anything, only sping her hands tightly. The car stopped at the bottom of her apartment, and Jensen looked at her, ¡°Isn¡¯t Gilbert fine? Don¡¯t me yourself too much.¡± ¡°I have lost count of the times he saved me without caring for himself.¡± Because of the barbs in her heart, she was unwilling to think about this and even avoided Gilbert¡¯s kindness toward her. But after today, she realized that she could no longer avoid him like this anymore. She looked at Jensen and said, ¡°He almost died back then in Kerrona Hill to save me, and a few days earlier, he did not hesitate to draw out the snake venom on set, and this time¡­¡± Kisa did not say anything more, but her eyes were already red. She sobbed, ¡°I want to totally forget whatever hurt and hatred we had in the past. I just want to be with him.¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Jensen looked down and smiled, ¡°If you want to be with him, do it.¡± As he said that, he looked at her with a somewhat forced smile, ¡°He had saved you time and time again. That ice in your heart should¡¯ve melted away already. Moreover, the one you love¡­ is him to begin with. ¡®Yeah..¡® ¡®I¡¯ve only ever loved that man.¡® ¡®Since I¡¯ve forgotten about all those hatred and grievances, and only love is left, then why can¡¯t we be together?¡® It turned out that once the entanglement of emotions in her heart was undone, things were so simple to understand. The next day. When Kisa was done with her work, she took out her phone and looked at it. When she saw what was on it, she was shocked. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 782 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 782 Chapter 782 Tricking Her What she saw was a screen full of missed calls. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. There were Kelvin¡¯s number, an unknown person¡¯s number, and Gilbert¡¯s number. Gilbert¡¯s number had the most missed calls, about a dozen of them. She bit her lips and hesitated for a moment before calling Gilbert¡¯s number. ¡°You¡¯re finally willing to answer the phone?¡± ¡®Kelvin¡¯s voice?¡® Kisa said calmly, ¡°I was filming earlier and couldn¡¯t check my phone.¡± ¡°Fine then. Come over, now.¡± Kelvin¡¯s voice sounded a little anxious. Kisa panicked and asked, ¡°What happened? Is Gilbert not well? Didn¡¯t the doctor say he¡¯s not in danger?¡± ¡°Juste, and you¡¯ll know. Hurry.¡± Kelvin hung up after saying that. Kisa was anxious, and without any dy, she immediately headed for Kelvin¡¯s vi after she was out from the set. There were no servants in Kelvin¡¯s vi, and it was very quiet. Kisa parked the car and walked straight into the vi. Gracie had just stepped out of the kitchen and was surprised when she saw Kisa, ¡°Eh, Kisa, why are you here? ¡°Kelvin asked me toe here. What¡¯s the matter with Gilbert?¡± ¡°Mr. Gilbert, he¡¯s¡­¡± Before Gracie was about to speak, Kelvin popped out from nowhere as he grabbed Gracie by the waist and smiled at Kisa, ¡°Rather than asking, why don¡¯t you go upstairs and see him for yourself?¡± When Kisa heard that, she turned around and went up the stairs. Kelvin looked at the bowl of porridge Gracie had prepared and called out to Kisa, ¡°Wait. Bring this bowl of porridge up as well. It might¡­ be different if you¡¯re the one bringing it up.¡± Kisa did not hear the meaning hidden in his tone and hurried upstairs after taking the porridge. Gracie looked up and nced at Kelvin, ¡°Did you bluff Kisa again?¡± Kelvin smiled, ¡°Would shee so quickly if I didn¡¯t do that? I¡¯ve looked at the time. She came here in half an hour¡¯s time. It looks like she¡¯s really worried about him.¡± Kisa stopped in front of the door of the guest room on the second floor. She knocked on the door, but there was no response. Thinking that Gilbert was injured and it would be inconvenient for him to open the door, or perhaps he was sleeping, Kisa did not continue knocking and instead opened the door. The door was not locked and opened as soon as she turned the doorknob. Opening the door, she saw Gilbert seated by the window with his back facing her. ¡°Take it away. I¡¯m not hungry.¡± Gilbert did not turn back and spoke softly, but there was a defeated tone in his voice. It was clear that the man was not in a good mood. She looked at the hot porridge in the bowl and, a momentter, said to him, ¡°Gracie just made this porridge. Eat some, at least.¡± Before she could finish, the man suddenly turned around and looked at her in disbelief. ¡°You¡­ why are you here?¡± ¡°You called me repeatedly, so I thought something happened to you and came over to have a look.¡± ¡°I called you repeatedly?¡± The man frowned with a confused look on his face. When Kisa saw that, she immediately realized what was going on. ¡®That Kelvin, how dare he bluff me!¡® After cursing Kelvin repeatedly, she walked over with the bowl of porridge. She ced it on the low table but did not look much at the man. After putting it down, she whispered, ¡°Eat up while it¡¯s hot. Kelvin hoodwinked me toe here. If you don¡¯t want to see me, I¡¯ll leave right now.¡± As soon as she said that, Kisa got up and prepared to leave. Gilbert immediately grabbed her. ¡°Don¡¯t go!¡± The man¡¯s gaze was locked tightly on her, and as he exerted strength in pulling her back, blood started to stain the bandage around his hand. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 783 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 783 Chapter 783 A Wake-Up p To The Face Kisa tensed up and immediately pulled her hand away. !! Let me go! Let me go!¡± From her reaction, it looked like the woman was still resistant to him touching her. He suddenly recalled what Mrs. Kooper Sr. said, and his eyes immediately dimmed. He then let her go and turned to the window, his voice cold and distant. ¡°Go then.¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Kisa bit her lips and could not help but ask, ¡°Are¡­ your wounds alright?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t die.¡± The man¡¯s voice was cold, and so was his face. Kisa did not know what to say. She then looked down and said, ¡°Rest well then.¡± As she said that, she nced at him and turned to leave. This time, Gilbert did not hold onto her. The man did not even make a single sound when she closed the door and left. After closing the door, Kisa stood outside for a moment before turning around and walking downstairs. It was Kelvin who called her, not Gilbert. Last night, it was all because of her selfishness and resentment that she almost got him killed. So, the man should be quite angry at her at this moment. It seemed like she really should not havee here. Walking down the stairs dejectedly, she ran into Kelvin and Gracie. Kelvin looked at her expression and asked in surprise, Why are you back down here? Do you need anything? Just give us a call, and we can send it up.¡± Kisa shook her head and said, ¡°Take good care of him. I¡¯ll be heading back first.¡± ¡°What? You¡¯re going back?!¡± Kelvin¡¯s temper suddenly red. ¡°Do you even have a shred of conscience in you? It¡¯s because of you he¡¯s wounded. Just ask yourself, how many times has he been wounded because of you? It took me so much effort to get him to stay here so that you can take care of him, and you¡¯re now telling me you¡¯re going back moments after you¡¯d just arrived?!¡± Kelvin was so pissed off that he literally roared at Kisa. Gracie patted him on the shoulder, motioning for him to calm down. ¡°Don¡¯t say that. Kisa may have things to do.¡± ¡°My foot. The filming is already done for the day. What other things need her immediate attention? She¡¯s just straight¨Cup heartless and doesn¡¯t want to take care of Gilbert!¡± Kisa lowered her head and said sorrowfully, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to take care of him, but he refuses to see me. Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know. You were the one who was calling me. You called me with his phone, and you bluffed me toe here instead of him urgently wanting to see me.¡± As she said that, she looked up, and her eyes reddened as if she was about to burst into tears. Kelvin was taken aback and no longer yelled at Kisa as he grumbled, ¡°Don¡¯t cry. If he finds out, he¡¯ll think I¡¯m bullying you.¡± Kisa took a deep breath and said, ¡°In any case, since he¡¯s the one who doesn¡¯t want to see me, I¡¯ll no longer appear before him and earn his ire.¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Kelvin held her back and did not believe what she said, ¡°You¡¯ve got it wrong. How can he not want to see you? He was calling your name when he was still unconscious.¡± Gracie nodded. ¡°It¡¯s true, he only woke up this afternoon, and he was muttering your name the whole morning.¡± When Kisa heard that, her heart trembled. She sobbed, ¡°But he did not seem to be in a good mood just now, and¡­¡± ¡°I know what¡¯s going on now,¡± Before she could finish, Kelvin interjected as he realized something. ¡°It must¡¯ve been his grandmother¡¯s words.¡± Kisa looked at him in confusion, ¡°What did she say to him?¡± ¡°When Kelvin woke up, Mrs. Kooper Sr. was there, and she told him that you didn¡¯t care about him, that you were hugging Jensen while you were in the ER. Gilbert was in a foul mood the whole day after hearing that and had not eaten yet. That¡¯s why I called you to hurry over.¡± As Kelvin said that, Gracie said to Kisa with a serious look, ¡°Kisa, have you ever considered that it¡¯s perhaps not that Gilbert didn¡¯t want to see you, but he thought that you didn¡¯t want to see him as he thinks that the one you love is Jensen?¡± What Gracie said was like a wake¨Cup p to her face. Kisa did not think much more as she turned around and ran upstairs. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 784 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 784 Chapter 784 No One Can Force You Kisa immediately ran to the front of the guest room. As Kisa hurried, she ended up panting hard when she arrived at the door. It took her a while to catch her breath before she reached for the doorknob. The door opened after a soft ck. Just as Kisa opened the door and walked in, the man¡¯s cold, icy voice rang out, ¡°Get out!¡± Kisa did not say anything and just stood quietly by the door. His back was still facing the door, so he thought the person who entered the room was Kelvin. She only heard him say, rather brashly, ¡°Don¡¯t disturb me for nothing. And don¡¯t you use my phone to call that woman again. Hah, bluffing her toe here is pointless if she doesn¡¯t want to see me.¡± At the very end, there was a self¨Cmocking tone in his voice. Kisa bit her lips, and just like what Gracie said, he really thought that it was her who did not want to see him. Her fingers uneasily twitched as she took a deep breath and walked toward him. ¡°I don¡¯t want you to disturb me!¡± Hearing footsteps, Gilbert immediately turned and yelled at the person walking toward him. But when he saw who it was, he was stunned. Yet that onlysted for a moment as he sneered. ¡°Weren¡¯t you leaving? Why are you back here now? Did Kelvin force you toe back to take care of me? Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll tell him right now to stop forcing you to do that.¡± The man was about to stand up as he said that. His leg was still bandaged with gauze. Upon noticing that, Kisa immediately stepped forward and held him down. She looked at the man¡¯s icy face, and her eyes turned red as tears welled up within them. Gilbert was originally furious, but his heart suddenly softened upon looking at her like this. He lowered his tone and grunted, ¡°Don¡¯t cry. I¡¯m neither bullying you nor forcing you against your will. It¡¯s all back to that again. Leave if you want, no one can force you to do anything.¡± Kisa looked at him. Her smile was hideous lookingpared to her tears. ¡°Why would I leave? You¡¯re hurt because of me, and I should be taking care of you. I won¡¯t leave even if you try to chase me away. Gilbert suddenly sneered, ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s your guilty conscience. Hah, go. Just take this as payment for all the wrongs I¡¯ve done you in the past. I won¡¯t me you.¡± Kisa ignored him and pulled a chair to sit in front of him. She held the bowl of warm porridge and said, ¡°I heard Kelvin say you¡¯ve not eaten for the whole day. Come, have this porridge.¡± Gilbert frowned, ¡°I¡¯m being serious here.¡± C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. ¡°So am I.¡± Kisa looked at his angry eyes and pushed the bowl to him. But the man refused to take it and only stared at her with a bitter look. Kisa could not help butugh, ¡°Could it be that you want me to feed you?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Gilbert snorted again with a whiff of disdain. Kisa did not care if he was angry as she scooped a spoonful of porridge and served it to the side of his lips, yet Gilbert was stubborn and refused to open his mouth. Kisa once again brought the spoon to the side of his mouth, the tip of the spoon directly stuck onto his lips. Gilbert still refused to open his mouth, turned around, and growled at her, ¡°What are you up to? I don¡¯t need you to care for me just because you feel guilty. You might as well go back and be lovey-dovey with Jensen.¡± He wore a loose white sweater, and his short hair made him look particrly fresh¨Clooking. There was less of his usual sharp iciness; instead, he looked much more casual and rxed. But that casual, rxed air did not match the resentment on his face at all. Kisa was not angry and instead patiently said to him, ¡± Come, open your mouth. I¡¯ll feed you! We¡¯ll have a good talk once you¡¯re done eating.¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Just as Kisa was about to force the spoon into his mouth, the man raised his arm abruptly. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 785 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 785 Chapter 785 I¡¯m Giving You Only One More Chance Kisa¡¯s arm was struck away, and the porridge in the spoon spilled all over the floor. Kisa¡¯s body staggered sideways, and she almost fell down from the chair. Fortunately, she held the porridge bowl tight, or else it would have sshed all over the floor. Noticing that he had overreacted, Gilbert said with an awkward tone, ¡°I told you. I don¡¯t want to force you to take care of me, you¡­¡± ¡°Did I ever say you were forcing me?¡± Kisa looked at him with reddened eyes. ¡°I just want to take good care of you. It¡¯s not because you saved me, but I was worried about you, to begin with. You think I wasn¡¯t anxious when you got knocked down by the car yesterday?¡± ¡°I was crying hard outside the ER, and Jensen was the one consoling me.¡± ¡°I told him, I want to forget all of the hatred and grievances of the past. I want to be with you.¡± Gilbert shuddered as his dark eyes looked at her deeply. ¡°You told him that you want to be with me?¡± Gilbert found it hard to believe it as the surge of joy and excitement in his heart made his arms tremble slightly. Kisa did not respond to him, nor did she look at him. She looked down and said, ¡°If you want me to leave and no longer want to see me, I¡¯ll leave then!¡± When he heard this, Gilbert panicked. He immediately grabbed her hand, ¡°No, don¡¯t go¡­ I¡­ I¡¯m not asking you to leave. I just¡­¡± Kisa looked at him. Her eyes were still red. ¡°You just what?¡± Gilbert knew he had a lot to say to this woman. But for some reason, be it nervousness or excitement, he could not find the words and just grabbed onto her hand tightly. ¡°Nothing, just don¡¯t go.¡± ¡°Then this porridge¡­¡± Recalling that Kelvin mentioned that Gilbert had not eaten for the entire day, Kisa still wanted him to eat something. Gilbert immediately said, ¡°I¡¯ll eat it. I¡¯m famished.¡± ¡°And you had the strength to be stubborn with me while you¡¯re famished?¡± Kisa rolled her eyes at him. Gilbert was taken aback and said awkwardly, ¡°I wasn¡¯t in the mood to eat just now.¡± ¡°And now you¡¯re in the mood?¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m in the mood now. I even have the appetite for it.¡± The man said seriously. Kisa let out a muffled chuckle and handed the bowl of porridge to him. The man refused to take it and said casually to her, ¡°Feed me.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it.¡± Kisa stuffed the bowl into his unscathed hand and snorted, ¡°I gave you one chance for me to feed you, and you refused it, so don¡¯t even think that I¡¯ll feed you again.¡± ¡°Heartless!¡± Gilbert red at her and snorted, but he was all smiling. Compared to how he was before and now, it was as if he was two different persons. He took the bowl, lifted his wounded arm toward her, and said in a pitiful tone, ¡°How about you feed me? My other arm is wounded, you know?¡± ¡°That hand of yours still had the strength to pull me back just now. What¡¯s the matter? Does it not even have the strength to lift a spoon now?¡± ¡®Who asked him to be stubborn with me just now? I¡¯ll piss him the hell off!¡® Gilbert gritted his teeth and stared at her. ¡®This woman is sure neither gentle nor considerate at all.¡® Unable to withstand his domineering gaze, Kisa snorted, Actually, you don¡¯t really need to use that hand to eat the porridge.¡± Gilbert raised his eyebrow. ¡°How so?¡± ¡°1 ¡°Just pour it down your throat like you¡¯re drinking water. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Alright, eat up already. The floor is dirty, and I need to clean it up.¡± As soon as Kisa said that, she ignored him. She pulled out a few paper towels and squatted on the ground as she cleaned up the spilled porridge. Gilbert red at her angrily, and then, just as she said, he raised his head and poured the bowl of porridge down his throat. And just as he was done eating, someone entered the room. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 786 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 786 Chapter 786 Come Back and Be My Wife The door was not locked, and the ones entering the room were Kelvin and Gracie. ¡°Sure enough, a different person bringing the porridge has a totally different oue.¡± Looking at the empty bowl in Gilbert¡¯s hand, Kelvin teased with a smile. Gracie, too let out a forced smile. Gilbert grunted and said, ¡°I just happened to be hungry.¡± Knowing how arrogant Gilbert could be, Kelvin eventually stopped teasing him. Kelvin then went into business mode, ¡°I¡¯ve checked your wounds, and they¡¯re all just flesh wounds. Changing your wound dressing daily will do the work. So, you and Kisa can stay here for the next few days while Gracie and I go somewhere else and not disturb you guys.¡± ¡°No need, really,¡± Kisa immediately waved him off. ¡°This is your home. How can we stay here just like that? Also, I have filming tomorrow and cannot take care of him.¡± ¡°What? Can¡¯t you take a few days off? Is your filming more important than Gilbert?¡± Kelvin suddenly let out a tirade in displeasure as Kisa pursed her lips, not saying a word. Gilbert held her hand and said, ¡°No need for that. I¡¯ll just head back to my ce.¡± ¡°How¡¯s Kisa supposed to go to the Kooper residence to care for you if you return home?¡± Kelvin was speechless. Your grandma has plenty of faults to find with Kisa.

Moreover, you can¡¯t live at Kisa¡¯s ce as your grandma wille here to see you every day. She¡¯ll probably get another panic attack if she doesn¡¯t find you here.¡± When Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s disgust toward Kisa was brought up, Gilbert immediately frowned. Kisa looked down in dejection. ¡®Yeah, Grandma hates me very much now. She will never agree to allow Gilbert to be with me.¡® Sensing her dejection, Gilbert grabbed her hand tight and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll find a way with Grandma.¡± ¡°She used to love me a lot. There must be some misunderstanding for her to hate me so suddenly. Maybe you can ask her about this.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Gilbert nodded solemnly and grabbed her hand even tighter. ¡®As long as this woman is willing to forgive me and return to me. Come what may, I¡¯m not afraid.¡± ¡°Right, then, the two of you stay here for a few days. Gracie and I will be going on a trip for a few days. She had already been dying to travel for some time.¡± Kelvin hugged Gracie, the gentleness in his eyes overflowing. Kisa looked on quietly and felt a touch of warmth and happiness in her heart. In reality, happiness was really simple. It really depended on whether she was as willing to let go of her hatred and set herself free. Kisa then applied for a five¨Cday leave from the director. Although the director agreed to that, he could not help but admonish her. She was, after all, the main heroine, and her absence will inevitably dy the entire filming process. Kisa could only repeatedly apologize to the director. Gilbert was by her side looking at her, whispering into her phone, and was so angry that he wanted to give the director a call. After hanging up, Kisa let out a sigh of relief. Although she got scolded, she managed to get the leave approved. Gilbert grabbed her hand and hissed, ¡°When I¡¯m well again, I¡¯ll teach that director a lesson!¡± ¡°Enough, the director¡¯s not at fault. I¡¯m the one at fault for asking for leave out of the blue.¡± Gilbert pulled her back into his arms and said, ¡°How about you stop the filming ande back to be my wife.¡± ¡°No way!¡± Kisa refused without even thinking about it. Gilbert¡¯s face immediately turned sullen, ¡°Why not? Filming is so tiring and is nowhere nearfortable as being the wife of a CEO.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand. Filming is fulfilling for me,¡± Kisa said seriously, ¡°I may have taken over J & K Film Group and joined acting to take down Sharon and GK Pictures. However, I found outter on that I really like acting, I¡¯ll not give it up no matter what.¡± Seeing how determined she was, Gilbert could not say anything. Kisa then continued, ¡°I¡¯ll give J&K Film Group back to Jensen soon so I can focus on acting.¡± ¡°Then, you and Jensen¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing between us,¡± Kisa said seriously. Gilbert looked deeply at the woman in his arms, a tingling in his mind subconsciously making him lean toward her lips. Kisa tensed up and looked at him nervously. So Suddenly, there was the sudden screeching of brakes in the courtyard¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 787 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 787 Chapter 787 Avoiding Kisa¡¯s face reddened, and she pushed him away, ¡± Someone¡¯s here. I¡¯ll go have a look.¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth, feeling a little miffed. ¡®Bummer, I almost managed to kiss her.¡± As she was afraid that the personing could be Mrs. Kooper Sr., Kisa did not go down and only peeked through the window. And through it, she saw Mrs. Kooper Sr. alighting from the car with Davian escorting her. After the two got out of the car, Davian helped Mrs. Kooper Sr. into the house. Kisa immediately turned and told Gilbert, ¡°It¡¯s Grandma. I¡¯ll go hide for a bit.¡± As she said that, she walked to the bathroom. Gilbert immediately grabbed onto her, ¡°No need, stay here.¡± ¡°But Grandma¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m here and won¡¯t allow her to hurt you. Also, you can¡¯t keep avoiding her like this. I don¡¯t want you to be wronged.¡± His words made her feel warm inside. She patted his hands and smiled, ¡°I¡¯m not, but Grandma probably still has quite a lot of misunderstandings with me, and those won¡¯t be untangled within a short time. I¡¯ll avoid her, and her ire for now, or else the two of you might fight.¡± When Gilbert was about to say something else, Kisa had already let go of his hands and walked to the bathroom. Gilbert looked on firmly at her thin back, his eyes filled with distress and regret. Mrs. Kooper Sr. soon arrived in his room, and the moment she got in, she started to look around. ¡°That Kelvin, he said to bring you here so it¡¯ll be easier for him to take care of you and look. There¡¯s no one in this big vi at all. Where did that runt go to?¡± As Mrs. Kooper Sr. said that, she nced at the wound on his leg and continued, ¡°You¡¯re immobile, and there¡¯s no one here. I¡¯m really worried that you might struggle to even get food. That Kelvin is unreliable, so follow Grandma back after this.¡± ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Gilbert put down the magazine in his hand as he said to her, ¡°I¡¯ve already eaten. They¡¯ve been taking good care of me, don¡¯t worry. They probably went out to attend to something. They can¡¯t be minding me every hour of the day, right? It¡¯s not like I¡¯m crippled.¡± ¡°Hush you, stop jinxing yourself.¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. looked at him lovingly, ¡°Hmm, you do look good today. I¡¯m relieved.¡± ¡°Grandma, I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have toe to visit me every day.¡± ¡°No, if I don¡¯t see you even for a single day, I won¡¯t be at peace,¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. smiled as her eyes suddenly caught sight of the two mugs on the side table, and one of them had a slight lipstick stain on it. She narrowed her eyes as a glint shed across them. She sat opposite Gilbert, her hands on her walking stick as she said, ¡°That woman was here?¡± ¡°Which woman?¡± Gilbert pretended not to understand her. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Mrs. Kooper Sr. sneered, ¡°You know who I¡¯m talking about.¡± Gilbert did not respond and instead lowered his gaze toward the magazine on his knee. It was clear that the man¡¯s silence was an admission. Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s chest heaved violently twice. Suddenly, her hands struck, knocking the cups on the table onto the ground. Davian was shocked and immediately rushed over, || Ma¡¯am, don¡¯t be like that. Calm down.¡± Gilbert looked up at Mrs. Kooper Sr.. ¡°You hate her that much?¡± ¡°I not only hate her, but I also despise her!¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. roared. Her eyes were red as fury and sorrow radiated from her old eyes. Gilbert was distressed, ¡°Just because of her mother?¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. did not say anything and only gripped her walking stick tightly. The anger in her heart caused her old hands to tremble. ¡°No matter your grievances with her mother, that is in the past. Why must you vent your anger on her? She did nothing wrong.¡± ¡°Hah!¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr suddenly chuckled, ¡°Did you really think I despise her just because of her mother?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 788 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 788 Chapter 788 You Are Forcing My Hand Gilbert¡¯s gaze darkened. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°My hatred toward her is more than what I had for her mother. She may have done nothing wrong, but her birth, in and of itself, is the greatest mistake of all.¡± ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Gilbert suddenly felt a little helpless, ¡°Can you tell me why? Why do you despise her so?¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. looked at Gilbert sadly and could not find the words. How she wished to make it clear to him so that he would leave that woman. But she dared not trigger his mental illness. She shook her head and said in pain, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to tell you. I cannot tell you. You just need to know that what Grandma is doing is for your own good. If you are to listen to me, cut off that woman and have nothing to do with her anymore.¡± ¡°I cannot do that.¡± ¡°Heh¡­¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. suddenly let out a chillingugh, ¡°So, between her and me, you¡¯re choosing her?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have a choice,¡± Gilbert shifted his gaze away as he did not want to look at his grandmother¡¯s pained look. She shook her head. ¡°Since you insist on being with her, then I won¡¯t force you¡­¡± When Gilbert heard that, he was ted, but the next sentence that came out of Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s mouth shattered him. ¡°I¡¯ve lived long enough, and I¡¯m tired. It¡¯s probably time for me to meet our ancestors¡­ As for you and that woman, I¡¯ll just treat it as I did not see it.¡± ¡°Grandma!¡± Gilbert could not ept her using her death to threaten him. He looked grimly at her, ¡°You¡¯re trying to force my hand. Mrs. Kooper. Sr¡¯s smile was both loving yet icy, ¡°Silly child, you are the one forcing my hand.¡± As she said that, she turned to Davian, ¡°Come, let¡¯s go back.¡± Gilbert was worried and immediately told Davian, ¡°Look after Grandma.¡± Davian gave a vigorous nod in reply. Mrs. Kooper Sr. suddenly smiled, ¡°No need to worry. If you are not with that woman, Grandma will live on. I will live on until you find new happiness.¡± Gilbert watched on with mixed feelings as his grandmother left. He leaned warily against the chair, his mind a mess. Kisa slowly walked out of the bathroom. She hung her head and did not say anything as she made her way to him. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert¡¯s heart ached as he grabbed her hand and said, Pay no heed to what she said.¡± Kisa nodded, but she still did not speak. Her face looked rather pale as well. Gilbert panicked as he asked, ¡°You¡­ you can¡¯t be thinking of giving up, giving me up, right?¡± This was what he was most afraid of. He had finally gotten this woman¡¯s forgiveness after so long. He will not allow her to give up just like that. Seeing the man¡¯s anxious look, Kisa could not help butugh, ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. I¡¯m not giving up.¡± Only then did Gilbert heave a sigh of relief as hisrge hands still grabbed onto hers tightly. Kisa suddenly sighed, ¡°It¡¯s just that Grandma is being very persistent on this. I¡¯m afraid she might do something stupid in the heat of the moment.¡± Gilbert pursed his lips. This was also something he was most worried about. He then said, ¡°I¡¯ll find a way to do away with her hatred and misunderstanding toward you as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Kisa nodded seriously, ¡°But before that happens, let¡¯s not meet again so that we don¡¯t agitate her.¡± ¡°No!¡± Just as Kisa finished saying, Gilbert immediately spoke out against it. ¡°I want to see you every day, not a single day less!¡± She had never heard Gilbert saying something this cringy before. Kisa shuddered as goosebumps appeared all over her body. Gilbert¡¯s expression darkened, ¡°Kisa, are you trying to piss me off?¡± Kisa rolled up her sleeves and revealed her hand with goosebumps as she chuckled, ¡°No, it¡¯s just that what you said just now was so cringy.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Alright, cool it. Let¡¯s get down to business,¡± Kisa put away her smile and said seriously, ¡°If we want to meet every day and keep Grandma from blowing her fuse, I have an idea.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 789 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 789 Chapter 789 In Love Gilbert cocked an eyebrow and looked at her. ¡°What idea? 11 Kisa just smiled mysteriously and said nothing. He nced at her and suddenly felt that she was quite cunning. Five days after recuperating, Gilbert¡¯s wound had still notpletely healed, but he could walk like a normal person. Kisa returned to the set to shoot her scenes normally after five days. As she had taken five days off for no reason, there was bound to cause tongues to wag. The most apparent one was Sharon, who mocked Kisa in her face. ¡°Some people think they are entitled to special treatment just because they are the lead actresses, but they actuallyck professionalism. I can¡¯t believe that such people even have fans. How ridiculous!¡± ¡°You¡¯re jealous, aren¡¯t you? I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t have such special treatment even if you wanted to because you aren¡¯t good enough.¡± Arie talked back at once. Kisa was in a good mood and did not want to make a fuss over it. She smiled at Arie and said, ¡°Just read the script. Don¡¯t stoop to her level.¡± ¡°You!¡± Sharon was furious but did not dare to do anything to Kisa. She red at them, but no matter how long she did that, they ignored her and treated her as if she was not there. ¡°Kisa, why do you look so happy? Has something good happened to you?¡± Arie saw the smile on Kisa¡¯s face and asked tentatively, ¡°Did Mr. Kooper prepare some kind of surprise for you?¡± Sharon, who was next to them, heard what Arie said, and her eyes widened with jealousy written all over her face. Kisa nced at Sharon absently and smiled at Arie. ¡± Nah, it is not about Gilbert. I¡¯m happy because the shooting has gone smoothly today.¡± Sharon snickered in amusement upon hearing that. ¡°You guys really think Mr. Kooper likes her? If he did, he wouldn¡¯t have divorced her. Heh, Mr. Kooper doesn¡¯t even send her flowers these days. So what does that mean? It means that his novelty for her has passed.¡± Arie gritted her teeth. As she was about to argue with Sharon, Kisa quickly pulled her back. ¡°Just let her be.¡± ¡°But she-¡± ¡°She is telling the truth.¡± ¡°Hear that? The fact is, Mr. Kooper doesn¡¯t like her. She can¡¯t force him to like her, can she?¡± With that, Sharon hummed a song triumphantly as she left. Arie scoffed as Sharon went, saying, ¡°Look at her N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. smug, ugly face. She has forgotten how Mr. Kooper kicked her earlier.¡± Kisa said nothing and just held the script, ready to continue reading, when her phone suddenly rang. She subconsciously took it out and looked at it¨Cit was a text message from Gilbert. She opened the message and took a quick nce, and then a smile broke out on her face. Arie squinted at her, seriously suspecting that she was in love. As the shooting went smoothly today, the director was enthusiastic and added another scene. When it was time to wrap up, the sky waspletely dark. Kisa dismissed Lea and told her to go home while she would drive to the location Gilbert had sent her. Just as she got into the car, she saw Jensen leaning in a corner outside the set, smoking. The ember between his fingers was obvious in the dim light. She hesitated for a moment before she got out of the car and walked over to him. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡®Why didn¡¯t he just call out to me if he came for me? What if I didn¡¯t see him and just drove off?¡® she wondered. Jensen looked at her and smiled. ¡°I came looking for you, but I saw you seemed to be in a hurry to go somewhere, so I didn¡¯t call out to you.¡± ¡°I¨CI¡¯m not in a hurry. What is it?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to investigate the whereabouts of the warden?¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°You have news of it?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 790 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 790 Chapter 790 People Change After All Jensen¡¯s eyes were darkly profound in the dim light. H? smiled and said, ¡°If you are not in a hurry, we can sit down and talk.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The caf¨¦ was quiet and suitable for having a conversation. Since arriving at the caf¨¦, Kisa¡¯s cell phone had been ringing non-stop, and the sound of the ringing was particrly loud in the quiet atmosphere. Jensen nced at her with a smile. ¡°It is Gilbert, right?¡± Kisa smiled and did not answer. Jensen leaned back in his chair and said casually, ¡°It is okay. You¡¯d better reply to him. After that, we will have a talk.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kisa nodded, hurriedly took out her phone, and sent a few messages back to Gilbert. Knowing Gilbert, Kisa knew he would not stop calling her just because she had returned a few messages. But surprisingly, he only replied with an ¡®I will wait for you¡®, and then stopped calling her again. She felt he was slowly changing. Her heart filled with joy, and she could not help but smile at the thought of this. There was a fleeting hint of mixed emotions in his eyes as Jensen quietly stared at her smiling face. When Kisa looked at him again, he looked calm and gentle as usual. ¡°Did you really find that warden?¡± ¡°We have yet to find exactly where the warden is, but someone has seen him. This proves that he is still alive. If we follow this lead, I believe it will not take long to find him.¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°It is okay. Just do your best.¡± Jensen took a sip of his coffee and looked at her. ¡°You have been away for the past few days, taking care of Gilbert, right? How is his injury?¡± ¡°He has almost recovered. Thank you for Let¡¯s have dinner together someday.¡± your concern. Jensenughed. ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary. I¡¯m afraid he will lose his appetite when he sees me.¡± ¡°Jensen,¡± Kisa suddenly stopped smiling and asked, ¡°You and Gilbert used to be quite close. Why¡­¡± ¡°That was before. With time, people change, after all.¡± ¡°But I just think you haven¡¯t changed. You are still as trustworthy as you were when you were small.¡± Jensen lowered his eyes and chuckled, his voice reeking of mixed emotions. Kisa could not understand, nor did she bother to look deeper. She thought of something and quickly took out an agreement from her bag. ¡°By the way, this is the J & K Film Group¡¯s share transfer agreement. I wanted to give it to you the other day but forgot.¡± Jensen did not take the agreement or look at her. He just took a sip of coffee and said with a faint smile, ¡°You don¡¯t want J & K Film Group anymore?¡±N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Kisa shook her head. ¡°J & K Film Group was originally yours. You have been working hard to manage and run it, so I felt I didn¡¯t deserve to be its CEO. Besides, I no longer want to take revenge on Gilbert. It is pointless for me to be in control of such a bigpany. I just want to concentrate on acting and do my job as a J & K Film Group artist.¡± Jensen smiles and nods. ¡°I understand.¡± With that, he reached to take the share transfer agreement. ¡°May you guys be happy together,¡± he said sincerely. ¡°Thank you.¡± Kisa felt especially happy and blessed with Jensen¡¯s blessing but never noticed the complex emotions in Jensen¡¯s eyes. Kisa hurried left and finally arrived at the location Gilbert had sent her. It was at the innermost part of a farm. She came to arge, empty field with just a table, but no one was there. The table was set for a very borate candlelit dinner. As she looked around and did not see Gilbert, she walked up to the table and wondered if he had gotten fed up with waiting and left. While she was thinking so, Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 791 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 791 Chapter 791 Unromantic N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Kisa was startled. Just as she turned around and before she knew it, hot breath sprayed on her lips, and a man domineeringly pressed his hot mouth against her lips and fervently kissed her. She looked with widened eyes at the handsome face, which was just an inch from her, then slowly raised her hands and wrapped them around his slender waist. Feeling her spontaneous reaction to engage with him, Gilbert felt less upset, and his kisses became gentler than before. After kissing for a long time, he pulled his mouth away just when she felt breathless. Kisa was so smitten that she went weak at the knees and leaned limply in his arms. He gave her a peck on the lips, but still feeling not too happy. ¡°You arete. So consider this kiss your punishment.¡± It took a moment before Kisa came to her senses and stood straight from his arms. ¡°I sent you messages. You were the one who insisted on waiting.¡± ¡°Heh, it is my fault for waiting for you instead, isn¡¯t it?¡± He peevishly shot her a sideways nce and brought her to sit at the table. There was gourmet food on the table. Kisa touched the edge of a te and was surprised that it was still hot. Gilbert grunted. ¡°Since you hadn¡¯te, I had to ask the cook to serve the dishes every half hour.¡± ¡°What a waste that was.¡± ¡°You are the one who is wasting it. Wouldn¡¯t you have wasted less if you hade earlier?¡± ¡°Chop logic!¡± Kisaughed, having no words. Gilbert red at her, still looking not too happy. ¡°I suppose you have already eaten with Jensen?¡± ¡°Nope. I¡¯m starving,¡± Kisa said and picked up her cutlery to start. ¡°It is sote now. You did not have dinner with him?¡± Gilbert was surprised. ¡°Since I had a dinner date with you, I didn¡¯t eat with him, ¡± she said matter¨Cof¨Cfactly. Gilbert felt much better upon hearing this. He looked at her, his eyes bing tender. ¡®It always feels as if every wonderful moment is like a dream. If this really is a dream, I would rather die drunk in this dream and never wake up.¡® Kisa was stunned to see his profound gaze. ¡°Are you not going to eat?¡± ¡°I am.¡± Only then did Gilbert pick up his cutlery. Kisa suddenly thought of something and hurriedly looked around. ¡°There are no reporters around here, are there? If reporters catch us on camera, it will reach your grandma¡­.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. This is the most exclusive area of the farm, where no ordinary people can get in. Also, I had the whole ce reserved. There will be no reporters.¡± Kisa could not help but sigh with relief. ¡°You and I are together right and proper as husband and wife, but it is as if we are cheating,¡± Gilbert said glumly. The word ¡®cheating¡® amused Kisa. ¡°Think of it as cheating. Don¡¯t you men like the thrill of something new? || Gilbert¡¯s face darkened instantly. ¡°I would rather eat out with you, holding hands, walking down the street, and making an ostentatious show of it in front of the press. You are the one who wants to spend time with me in secret, yet use my grandma as an excuse.¡± ¡°This is to avoid suspicion from your grandma.¡± ¡°But this is so unfair to you. It makes you look like you are having an affair,¡± Gilbert said, feeling sorry for her. Kisa felt warm at heart but stifled a smile. ¡°What are you talking about? Isn¡¯t it also unfair to you, like you are having an affair? You know, I¡¯m a superstar.¡± Gilbert was amused by what she said. He smiled and nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m the one who is having an affair and doesn¡¯t deserve a superstar like you.¡± ¡°Come on, let¡¯s eat. I¡¯m starving.¡± Kisa gobbled up her food without looking up. Gilbert stared glumly at the way she was eating and felt that she was really unromantic. ¡®This is a candlelit dinner, for God¡¯s sake!¡® he said in his mind. Only after Kisa finished eating did she say to him, ¡°By the way, Jensen found out about the warden.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 792 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 792 Chapter 792 Stark Contrast Gilbert furrowed his forehead. ¡°You mean the warden in the women¡¯s prison back then?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°Jensen says someone has seen the warden; he is still alive. I think we should be able to find him soon. By then, we will know the real culprit of that fire.¡± The furrow on Gilbert¡¯s brow deepened with a touch of grave concern on his face. Kisa looked at him in perplexity. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is this bad news?¡± ¡°Of course not. It is just strange that someone who has disappeared for so long is so easy to find. Davian also searched for that warden, but had no clue.¡± Not that he did not believe Jensen; he just thought it was a little weird. Kisa thought he was being too wary. ¡°Jensen has been looking for the warden for a long time. Maybe he just got lucky and found a clue. Besides, he is influential in Raworth and acquainted with Kohen. So if the warden is hiding abroad, Jensen will be the one who can find him.¡± Gilbert was jealous when he heard Kisa praise Jensen. He lowered his head and ate, not saying a word. She nced at him. ¡°Of course, you are influential, too. It was just your bad luck that you didn¡¯t find out about the warden.¡± Gilbert chuckled. ¡°You said it so reluctantly.¡± Kisa rolled her eyes. ¡®Forget it. No more coaxing him. This man is the most difficult to coax.¡¯ She leaned back in her chair and sipped her wine, waiting for Gilbert to take the initiative to talk to her. But he kept his head buried and ate, forgetting about her existence. Kisa then frowned and said, ¡°You are not angry about this, are you?¡± ¡°Of course not.¡± Gilbert shook his head. ¡°I just thought this whole warden thing was a little strange.¡± ¡°What is strange about it?¡± He did not know how to exin it when Kisa asked. ¡® Maybe I¡¯m overly sensitive to the fire, or maybe, the happiness I have now is hard toe by, and so I¡¯m especially cautious, afraid that any minor ident might ruin it. I¡¯m too insecure, after all. Just hope that I¡¯m overly sensitive and overthinking it.¡® In the club, Jensen sat quietly on a corner couch as if the room¡¯s bustle had nothing to do with him. He looked dazedly at the share transfer agreement, which Kisa had already signed. Her handwriting was exceptionally neat. He stared at her name for a long time and then suddenly chuckled, but it sounded fake. Mia nced at him and said, ¡°She has been saying for a long time that she will return thepany to you. Besides, you have been running thepany all along. So it is a matter of course that she gives it back to you. What are you so upset about?¡± ¡°Thispany was originally set up for her. Now that she no longer wants it, there is no point in its existence.¡±C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Mia frowned, angry. ¡°So do you mean that since she doesn¡¯t want thepany, its employees will lose their jobs? Wake up, Jensen. Because she doesn¡¯t like you, it is useless no matter how much you do for her.¡± Jensen¡¯s face sank, and he said nothing. Mia was so pissed off that she red at him before leaving. At this time, Adrien suddenly sat over, swirling his goblet with a faint smile on his lips. He always had that inscrutable look on his face. Jensen grunted and looked up at him. ¡± Congrattions, your revenge n is about to seed.¡± Adrien looked at him, still with a smile. ¡°You know my n?¡± ¡°You have done all this just to get Gilbert and Kisa to make up first and then deliver a heavy blow that will send them down hard to hell when they think they have finally achieved happiness.¡± Jensen let out a half¨Csmile. ¡°I know you, after all. How can ordinary revenge quench the hate in your heart? The only way to get the pleasure out of revenge is by creating a stark contrast in expectation, isn¡¯t it?¡± Adrien brought the cigarette to his mouth, took two puffs, and then sneered, ¡°Revenge should be ruthless. Since they love each other so much, I will make them torment each other until they die.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 793 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 793 Chapter 793 She Is a Disgrace Jensen lowered his eyes and smiled. ¡°You are really quite ruthless, even toward the daughter of your former lover.¡± Adrien took a drag and narrowed his eyes. ¡°Because she is a disgrace. She shouldn¡¯t have even existed.¡± ¡°She and I are a disgrace in your eyes. What about Peter?¡± ¡°Peter?¡± Adrien stared at him with cold eyes, his tone callous. ¡°You are not in any wayparable to Peter.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Jensen scoffed and took a drag on his cigarette, the hazy smoke obscuring all the emotions in his eyes. Adrien grunted, somehow irritated. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. You will get your effort¡¯s worth in time. When that woman breaks up with Gilbert, she will be yours eventually.¡± ¡°You will never understand what I really want,¡± Jensen said faintly without looking up. Adrien looked at him quietly and indifferently. A whileter, he puffed out a ring of smoke. ¡°Not that I don¡¯t know what you want. You are just like your mother¨Cthe things you want are never practical.¡® ¡°Is that so?¡± Jensen chuckled slyly. Adrien finally got annoyed and asked in a frosty voice, Have you told that woman about the warden?¡± Jensen did not answer, and his impassive eyes only stared at the remaining red wine in the goblet. Adrien frowned and narrowed his eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t you forget I raised the boy, ke. If I can let him grow up, I can also end his life anytime. And don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know about your rtionship with Mia.¡± ¡°Yeah, since their lives and deaths are in your hands, are you still afraid I will defy you?¡± Jensen looked up at him abruptly, his profound eyes showing little emotion. Adrien smoked his cigarette and smiled absently. ¡°In fact, I didn¡¯t have to ask you to convey the warden¡¯s information to Kisa. Only that you are the person she trusts most, and the only way she suspects nothing is if the informationes from you.¡± Jensen smiled self¨Cdeprecatingly as he found what Adrien said was the biggest irony. Just then, a subordinate came to report. ¡°Mr. Tanner, a mother and daughter, named Mrs. Case and Miss Case are outside looking for you.¡± 1.¡± Adrien sneered. ¡°Let them in.¡± ¡°Aye, Mr. Tanner.¡± Jensen sneered at Adrien. ¡°You are really a busy man.¡± ¡°You have to understand what I came back for. I will not forget any of those people back then.¡± With that, Adrien gradually let out a meaningful smile. ¡°Gee, Mr. Tanner. I¡¯m sorry for the unannounced visit.¡± Carolyn had her eyes on Adrien as soon as she came in and was courteous. ¡°I heard from Sharon that you had a club downtown that is doing very well and fun, so I thought I woulde with Sharon to check it out. But it seems not everyone cane to this exclusive ce. I wonder if people like us are qualified enough to be here.¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha, you must be joking, Mrs. Case. We are all friends. You cane as long as you want. I will ask the manager to issue you a gold cardter, so you cane anytime when you are free.¡± Carolyn was so happy that she grinned from ear to ear. Thank you so much, Mr. Tanner.¡± ¡°It is my pleasure. Come on. I will show you around.¡® Jensen chuckled with sarcasm as he watched the two go. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. ¡°Well, here I am.¡± Kisa was about to get out of the car when Gilbert suddenly sped her hand, not letting her go. ¡°It iste. I have to go to bed. Otherwise, I will have no energy for tomorrow¡¯s shooting,¡± she said helplessly. ¡°I want to sleep with you tonight.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 794 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 794 Chapter 794 Not Here ¡°No!¡± Kisa refused. ¡°Your grandma will be suspicious if you spend the night with me. Be good and go back to stay with your grandma.¡± Gilbert struggled internally for a long while. ¡°Okay, but you have to give me a reward.¡± ¡°What reward?¡± Kisa was puzzled. ¡°Figure it out yourself,¡± Gilbert said, ridiculing her as guileless and unromantic in his mind. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°How about I take you to dinner tomorrow?¡± Kisa said after thinking for a moment. ¡°Do I look like Ick food? Who needs you to buy me dinner?¡± Gilbert snickered. ¡°Then tell me, what reward do you want?¡± Kisa asked him with a frown, sounding a little impatient. ¡°Forget it. I want nothing. Get out of the car.¡± Gilbert got even angrier. Kisa stared speechlessly at his uptight look, thinking, His mind is even harder to read than a woman¡¯s.¡¯ She took her handbag in one hand, pulled the door with the other, and said, ¡°It is you who tells me to get out of the car. Don¡¯t get angry after I go.¡± Gilbert pulled his face together and said nothing. Kisa looked at him carefully. After a long while, she suddenly went over and kissed him on the cheek. But when she was about to back away, he suddenly grabbed her waist and drew her into his arms with force, followed by a fervent kiss on her lips. ¡°Mmm¡­¡± Kisa tried to say something, but his burning kisses stifled her voice. Gilbert¡¯s kiss was dominant and fervent. His lips brushed against her soft lips for a long time, then moved slowly down her jaw, with arge, rough hand slipping under her shirt. Kisa could obviously feel the restraint on her chest gone. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly stopped his hand, gasping. ¡°No.¡± Gilbert¡¯s eyes darkened, and he said nothing, just staring at her. Kisa clutched his hand and calmed her breathing down. ¡°Not here!¡± ¡°So it is okay in the house?¡± His voice was hoarse and suppressed. Kisa¡¯s face turned red, and she gritted her teeth. ¡°Not even in the house.¡± Gilbert pulled back his hand in dismay. ¡°Then where else? Kisa hurriedly tidied her attire and brushed her hair that he had messed up. ¡°Not now.¡± She was not ready. Although she had had the most intimate moments with Gilbert, those times were unpleasant. Even though they had made up and were getting along like a normal, passionate couple now, she was still not ready to ept him wholeheartedly anytime soon. Knowing her dilemma, Gilbert smiled and said, ¡°It is ?? okay. I will not force you.¡± He stroked her hair. Remember, this is the reward I¡¯m talking about from now on.¡± He then gave her a peck on the lips. Kisa punched him snappishly. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you say so? And don¡¯t touch my hair; you have messed up my hair again.¡± Gilbertughed as he watched her tidy it up in exasperation. After a while, he put away his smile and said to her, ¡°Go up and get some rest. ¡°Okay.¡± Kisa was about to push open the car door when he pulled her back, startling her. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± she asked. ¡°Are you going to Athadale for an event in a few days?¡± ¡°Yeah, why?¡± Gilbert smiled. ¡°Nothing. Go now.¡± ¡°You are strange.¡± Kisa chuckled. As soon as she got out of the car, Gilbert drove off. She watched his car drive out of the neighborhood gate before she turned around and headed back to the apartment. Suddenly, a figure swooped in front of her, startling her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 795 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 795 Chapter 795 Falling in the Hands of a Woman Lea looked at her curiously. ¡°Did I frighten you, Kisa?¡± Kisa looked around the dim environment and said with smile, ¡°Anyone would have been frightened when you stood behind me without making a sound.¡± Lea smiled shyly. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to. I wanted to call out to you, but you just looked at that car like you were very absorbed, so I thought better of it.¡± Lea thought of something and suddenly smiled at her. ¡°Is that Mr. Kooper in the car?¡± Kisa took a long look at her and shook her head. ¡°No, it is not.¡± ¡°Then it is¡­.¡± ¡°It is my boyfriend.¡± Lea was transfixed. ¡°Really? You have a boyfriend?¡± ¡°Yeah, he is an outsider. You know, the impact of a celebrity having a rtionship is quite significant. I have been dating him secretly for the past few days, but I¡¯m also afraid of being caught by the paparazzi. So, can you keep this a secret for me?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Lea nodded vigorously. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Kisa smiled at her and asked, ¡°By the way, why did you ¡°I have been here since a long time ago. I tried to call you but couldn¡¯t get through to you on the phone.¡± ¡°Oh, my phone is dead. What is it about? Is it urgent?¡± ¡°It is not urgent. I¡¯m used to informing you as soon as things change.¡± Lea smiled at her. ¡°It is about the trip to Athadale. Mr. Jensen said the trip had been brought forward; we¡¯ll go in three days. Besides, didn¡¯t you say at the beginning that you didn¡¯t want me to follow you? But Mr. Jensen said he wasn¡¯t comfortable with you going alone and repeatedly told me to look after you. So I had better go with you since I have nothing to do.¡± Kisa smiled at her and said jokingly, ¡°Is it not good enough to give you a few days off?¡± Lea hurriedly shook her head. ¡°I have no family here, so there is no point in taking days off. It is better to go with you, treating it as a vacation trip. And as your assistant, I must take good care of you. Otherwise, Mr. Jensen might get angry and fire me.¡± Kisa looked at her seriously for a while and then nodded. ¡± All right then.¡± ¡°Yeah! Then I will prepare in the next few days, and we will depart together then.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°You get some rest early, Kisa. I will go home now.¡± ¡°Be careful on the road.¡± Kisa thoughtfully stared as Lea left. She then turned around and headed for the apartment. The next day, in the CEO¡¯s office of GK Pictures, Gilbert kept looking at his phone, not in the mood to work. He had already sent no less than ten messages to Kisa, but she had not replied or called him. He leaned back in his chair, loosening his tie, feeling upset. Davian nced at him. ¡°Are you expecting a call from your wife, Mr. Kooper?¡± Gilbert did not respond. His face was gloomy. Davian pouted and then whispered, ¡°Maybe she is busy. Besides, if you really miss her, you can call her.¡± ¡®Call her?¡® Gilbert picked up the phone, his brows knitted together tightly. He looked out the window and saw that it was nowpletely dark. ¡®Normally, the set should have closed by now.¡® With this thought in mind, he found Kisa¡¯s number, and after two seconds of hesitation, he made the call. Davian nced at Gilbert¡¯s cautious demeanor and could not help but sigh in his mind, thinking, ¡®A man as decisive and ruthless as Mr. Kooper could also fall into the hands of a woman.¡® But the call went unanswered. Seeing Gilbert¡¯s darkening face, Davian quickly said, Maybe she is busy right now and doesn¡¯t have time to answer the phone.¡± As soon as Davian¡¯s voice trailed off, the call was finally answered, and Davian was relieved. It was noisy on the other end of the phone like there was a ruckus. Gilbert frowned in displeasure. ¡°What are you doing? Haven¡¯t you finished your work yet?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 796 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 796 Chapter 796 Lying With a Straight Face ¡°I¡¯m off,¡± Kisa said. Gilbert was upset at hearing that. But before he could say anything, she added. ¡°I have long been off since four in the afternoon.¡± Gilbert nced up at the wall clock; it was a quarter to nine. He sneered and said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you have time to return my messages when you finished work so early? And it has been a whole day, and you didn¡¯t bother calling me.¡± Kisa had just walked to a quiet corner and talked to Gilbert on the phone when Arie came after her. ¡°Kisa,e on. Let¡¯s go sing. Everyone is waiting for you.¡± ¡°Okay, you go ahead. I will be right there.¡± ¡°No, if you don¡¯t go, they are going to ask me to drink. Come on, let¡¯s go,¡± Arie said and tugged on her arm. Gilbert had lost his impatience. ¡°Where are you? What¡¯s all that noise? Why don¡¯t Ie and get you?¡± ¡°No, no, no. I¡¯m hanging out with the crew at a karaoke bar. That is all for now. I have to go over there right now. Talk to youter.¡± Kisa hung up and sounded so hurried. Gilbert was blue in the face at hearing the disconnection tone. ¡®She has time to sing with the crew but no time to reply to my text messages! Good, very good!¡® Seeing Gilbert¡¯s face get even darker than before, Davian rubbed his nose and regretted suggesting Gilbert make this call. ¡°Mr. Kooper, if there is nothing else, I¨CI will leave now. Besides, it is gettingte; you should go home early and rest,¡± he said cautiously, ¡°Come back!¡± N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. He was just about to go out when Gilbert stopped him. Davian turned around with a sobbing face. ¡°What else can I do for you, Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°Have you made arrangements for the trip to Athadale in three days?¡± ¡°It has been arranged, but¡­¡± Davian was confused, ¡°it is just a small client this time; you can just ask the regional manager to meet with him. There is no need for you to go there personally. It doesn¡¯t look too good for someone with a stature like you to go that far to meet a small client. ¡°No!¡± Gilbert stared at the phone screen that had dimmed and hummed. ¡°I have to go.¡± Davian did not dare to say anything else at seeing Gilbert¡¯s ghastly face. Just then, footsteps came from outside the CEO¡¯s office. Davian frowned in puzzlement. ¡± Who could it being at this hour? Didn¡¯t everyone in the office leave?¡± While speaking, he was about to head out to see who wasing when he saw Madalyn walking in with George¡¯s help. Gilbert put down the phone, his face instantly regained his usualposure, and he got up to greet Madalyn. What are you doing here at thiste hour? Aren¡¯t Andrew and Ada still at home?¡± ¡°The two children have gone to bed. There are maids in the house,¡± Madalyn said, sitting aside and ncing around. Gilbert knew what she was up to and said self- deprecatingly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Grandma. Kisa hasn¡¯t been here, and I have had no contact with her in the last few days.¡± Davian looked at him, thinking, ¡®If anyone wants to lie, they should lie like Mr. Kooper with a straight face.¡® Madalyn pulled back her eyes and said with a smile, Come on, I¡¯m not here to check up on you but to see you. I¡¯m worried that you might overwork yourself as you are always working overtime these days. Look, I have brought you your favorite chicken gnhi soup.¡± George immediately put the chicken gnhi soup on Gilbert¡¯s desk and said to him respectfully, ¡°Mr. Kooper, drink it while it is still warm. Gilbert smiled at Madalyn. ¡°You are still the person who treats me the best.¡± ¡°You are my most beloved grandson; treating you well is, of course, a must. Everything I do is for you. Gilbert opened the thermos bowl and scooped a spoonful of chicken gnhi soup. The familiar aroma instantly evoked his distant memories. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 797 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 797 Chapter 797 Go Find Her Kisa once tasted chicken gnhi soup at the Kooper residence when she was young. Ever since then, whenever she went to the Kooper residence, she craved their chicken gnhi soup. And at that time, Gilbert would ask the maid to make chicken gnhi soup every day, and over time, Grandma thought he liked it. But in reality, he did not like chicken gnhi soup at all, but only because Kisa liked it. Gilbert snapped back from the memories and put the lid on the thermos bowl. Madalyn saw this and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Does it not taste good?¡± C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. ¡°No. I will drink itter.¡± ¡°Later?¡± Madalyn frowned in displeasure. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going home with me?¡± ¡°I still have something to do. You and George go home and rest early.¡± Madalyn looked at Davian suspiciously. ¡°Yeah, we have been very busytely, and there are many things to do every day. We have been preparing for a trip to Athadale for the past few days. In three days, Mr. Kooper will go to Athadale for a few days on business.¡± Hearing Davian talk in all seriousness and the fatigued look on Gilbert¡¯s face, Madalyn suspected nothing. She told Gilbert, ¡°Work is important, but you should also take care of your health. Don¡¯t stay up toote. Go home early to rest.¡± ¡°I will. You take care of yourself, too.¡± ¡°Then I will leave you to your work and go home now,¡± Madalyn said as she stood up. Gilbert rushed to help her. ¡°I will have Davian drive you home.¡± ¡°It is alright. Davian stays to help you with your work. I will just go back with George.¡± Gilbert nodded and looked at George. ¡°Take care of Grandma.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Kooper.¡± George took Madalyn¡¯s hand from Gilbert¡¯s. As Madalyn reached the doorway, she suddenly asked, Did you really break up with that woman?¡± Gilbert lowered his eyes, looking a bit miserable and glum. ¡°You are the most important person to me. If I have to choose one, then I will choose you. Besides, she doesn¡¯t like me, so I will not force it, either.¡± Madalyn nodded her head in satisfaction. ¡°I¡¯m so d that you think so.¡± She patted Gilbert on the shoulder. Don¡¯t be sad. I will find you another gentle girl who will be a hundred times better than Kisa.¡± || Gilbert quickly shook his head and said sadly, ¡°It is okay. I don¡¯t want to discuss rtionships now, but just stay with you and the two children for the rest of my life.¡± ¡°Silly child, I will eventually leave, and the children will eventually grow up. However, if you don¡¯t feel like having a rtionship now, it is okay to put this on hold,¡± Madalyn said, patting him on the arm. ¡°I¡¯m leaving now. You don¡¯t work toote.¡± ¡°Okay. You take care, Grandma.¡± As soon as Madalyn left, Davian gave Gilbert a thumbs up. ¡°You are amazing, Mr. Kooper. You can totally be an actor. I¡¯m sure you are going to be a hit.¡± Gilbert shot a look at him with knife¨Clike eyes. ¡°I will be an actor so you can be the CEO, right?¡± Davian was stunned for two seconds and then shook his head in panic. ¡°Please don¡¯t scare me, Mr. Kooper.¡± ¡°Then don¡¯t poke fun at me.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t poke fun at you. I was sincerelyplimenting you.¡± Gilbert did not bother with him. He put the chicken gnhi soup back into the insted tote and carried it outside. ¡°Where are you going, Mr. Kooper?¡± Davian rushed to follow him. ¡°Not going anywhere. I¡¯m off. You help yourself.¡± Gilbert came to Kisa¡¯s apartment, looked up, and saw that the unit Kisa lived in was dark. He was curious to know if she had yet toe home or had fallen asleep. After hesitating for a while, he took out his cell phone and dialed her number. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 798 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 798 Chapter 798 Punish Her Severely Earlier, Kisa at least answered the phone, though only after a long while. But this time, Gilbert had dialed twice in a row, and she still did not pick up the phone. The temper he had fought so hard to suppress earlier red up again. He tucked away his phone and headed for the apartment building with the chicken gnhi soup. ¡®She had better be back!¡® he said in his mind. Inside a luxury karaoke bar in the city center, Kisa was tipsy after having a few sses of drink. Arie, who was a good drinker and had been having a drinking challenge with others, was still full of vim and vigor. Kisa felt lightheaded and was resting on the couch. The atmosphere in the box was very high and lively, with the sound of people¡¯s happy yodeling and the sweet singing of several female artists. As the shooting had gone smoothly for a few days in a row, the director was happy and treated everyone to a fun night. He even vowed to give everyone a day off tomorrow. So, they were all so happy, and it looked like they would get stered tonight. Those who came tonight were the crew members, while Adrien, Peter, and Jensen were absent. ¡°Keep drinking, Kisa. Why are you lying there?¡± Arie was so high that she took a bottle of wine and came in front of her. ¡°Come on, drink. We are off tomorrow anyway, so it is okay to get drunk tonight.¡± Kisa was woozy and had double vision when she looked at Arie. She shook her head. ¡°I can¡¯t drink anymore. I feel terrible.¡±C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. ¡°Well then, you rest for a while. I will drink with the rest. Arie went back to the others. Sharon shot a sinister nce at Kisa, a sneer shing across her face. As the house was pitch ck, Gilbert turned on the light and went straight into Kisa¡¯s room. His face darkened as he turned on the light in the bedroom because he saw the bed was neat with no one in sight. Gilbert put the chicken gnhi soup on the coffee table and sat down on the couch. He looked at the wall clock and waited silently, grousing in his mind. ¡®Heh, since she likes to party, I will bring her to a nightclub and let her have fun all night.¡® When the hour hand pointed to ten, Gilbert became restless. He took out his cell phone and called Kisa again. She did not answer the first few times. When he dialed thest time, her cell phone was switched off. Gilbert mmed the phone on the sofa, thinking with frustration that he would punish her severely when she came back. When the hour hand pointed to eleven, his anger turned into worry. He got up and looked downstairs. It was dark, and no car wasing in. He thought for a while, then grabbed his jacket from the couch and left the house. ¡°Drink! Come on, shake the dice. I can drink you under the table!¡± Arie was extra energetic, and her voice was loud. Kisa had fallen asleep but was woken up by Arie¡¯s loud voice. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw the room was dimly lit, with two female artists duetting on a love song while Arie and a few other female artists were having a drink with the crew and male artists. Kisa shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself, ¡®These people have so much stamina.¡® Remembering that she had not returned Gilbert¡¯s message, she took out her cell phone and looked at it, only to find that it was turned off. She sat up straight and leaned over to say to the director, ¡°You guys have fun. I¡¯m going home now.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you stay a little longer, Kisa?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t. I¡¯m tired and want to go back to rest.¡± ¡°Well then, you really can¡¯t hold your liquor. Go home. Maybe I should ask someone¡­¡± he nced around and found that no one could drive her home. After all, everyone had been drinking. ¡°Why don¡¯t you sleep here? I have booked rooms upstairs.¡± ¡°No, I just live nearby. I can just take a taxi back.¡± In fact, she was afraid that Gilbert would look for her and that he might be sitting in her house with a grim face right now. She could not help but smile when she thought of his glum face. ¡®That guy gets angry so easily.¡® As Kisa walked out of the box, Sharon quietly followed her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 799 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 799 Chapter 799 You Bluff Once out of the karaoke bar, the cool breeze sobered Kis? up quite a bit. After all, she had not drunk too much and had rested in the box for quite a while earlier, so she was pretty sober now. Just that her head still hurt. She took out a wet tissue, wiped her face, and then walked to the curb to wait for a taxi. There was always a supply of taxis in front of the karaoke bar. But she was unlucky today, as several taxis had just left when she came out. So she had to wait again. 117 ¡°Hey, hottie.¡± Someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder in a frivolous manner. Kisa frowned as a wave of disgust flushed through her. She moved a few steps away and turned around, only to see a gangster¨Clike guy smiling at her with lewd eyes. ¡°Hottie, are you waiting for a taxi? Where are you going? How about a ride from me?¡± Wearing a hat and a mask, Kisa ignored the guy and just looked down the street again. Only this time, there were still no taxising. Worried about what the guy might do to her, she turned around to go back to the karaoke bar to stay with the crew but found another two guys standing at the entrance. They were dressed simrly to the first one and looked like they were of the same gang. They even grinned at each other. ¡°Hey, hottie. Why don¡¯t you say something? We have an enjoyable game. Do you want to y it?¡± The first guy smiled sinisterly and reached to touch her. Kisa¡¯s heart sank, and she turned around and ran. After running some distance, she looked back and was relieved to see that those guys were noting after her. She leaned against a tree by the roadside and caught her breath while ncing back and forth. There were still no taxising. So she wondered if it was because most drivers had retired for the night, as it waste at night. As she was thinking, there was a sudden, dull pain in the back of her shoulder. She let out a cry and slumped to the ground. Before she passed outpletely, she vaguely saw Sharon holding a fat stick, looking at her with a creepy and smug smile. ¡°Hurry up, you guys.¡± Sharon put away the stick and smiled wickedly at the guys behind her. ¡°Get her out of here. You guys are lucky and can have fun all night tonight.¡± ¡°Thanks to you. But it would be even better if you could join us.¡± ¡°Get lost! Don¡¯t take advantage of the situation.¡± Sharon grunted and then said grimly, ¡°Remember to take pictures. After it is done, there will be more goodies for you all.¡± ¡°That is so nice of you.¡± C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. The few guys went to pull up Kisa from the ground when a small, timid voice with an unexined determination suddenly came. ¡°Let her go. I have called the police.¡± They all looked in the voice¡¯s direction and saw a young girl in her twenties standing not far away. The girl was petite with a clean, innocent face, carrying a canvas bag, unmistakably a good girl. Those guys instantly became interested in her. ¡°Yo, here is another one. We can really have a st tonight. Sharon furrowed her brow and said grimly to the girl, You better mind your own business.¡± Jolina was scared to face these guys. But seeing the unconscious Kisa on the ground, she could not bring herself to leave her behind. She looked at Sharon and said, ¡°We are all on the same set. So, why do you have to do this? Besides, you can¡¯t get away with it if you do this.¡± ¡°Heh, it is just some random guy picking up a drunk woman on the streette at night. Isn¡¯t it a normal thing? Who is going to suspect me? As for you, me it on the fact that you are powerless to intervene.¡± Sharon sneered and signaled for the guys to grab her. Jolina was so scared that she tugged on the strap of her canvas bag and warned the guys. ¡°Don¡¯t come any closer. I have really called the police.¡± ¡°Yo, you bluffing us?¡± Those guys did not listen but went after her. Jolina panicked, not expecting these men to be not afraid even though she said she had called the police. She turned around and tried to run, but those guys quickly caught her. Sharonughed. ¡°Do you think you can still run when you have seen this?¡± And at that moment, a small ck vehicle suddenly stopped at the side of the road. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 800 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 800 Chapter 800 How a Real Woman Looks Like Jolina looked at the license te number and was delighted. But she also had a bit of mixed emotions. Wearing a ck trench coat, Peter exuded a distinctive aura as he stepped out of the car. When those guys saw him, they cowered. They looked at Sharon, whose face had gone pale. Sharon knew Peter was not to be messed with and that Jolina and Peter were somehow rted. Peter swept his eyes over Kisa on the ground, and then his gaze stopped on Jolina, who was apprehended by those guys, who pressed her down with their hands on her shoulders. Peter narrowed his eyes threateningly and sneered as he looked over at Sharon. ¡°What are you doing here? How dare you touch my woman! You must have a death wish.¡± Sharon, also an arrogant person, was not impressed. She swayed her hips and smiled as she walked up to Peter. ¡± Come on. I didn¡¯t know she was your woman. Besides, didn¡¯t you two have a fight on the setst time? So I thought she had offended you, and I was about to teach her a lesson,¡± Sharon said and intentionally leaned against him. She did not believe that she was not as good as that dull little girl. Peter looked down at her with a faint smile but did not push her away. When Sharon saw he did not resent her, she was delighted and became even more confident in her charm. She boldly leaned in his arms and drew circles on his chest with her fingers of red nail polish, intentionally or otherwise. ¡°Peter, those boring and insubordinate women are not very interesting. Don¡¯t you remember she showed you her attitudest time? She is the kind of girl who wants self¨Crespect but can¡¯t earn it. She is just ying hard to get. Don¡¯t fall for it.¡± Peter smirked, his eyes tinged with wickedness. He stroked Sharon¡¯s long hair and nodded. ¡°Well, you have a point.¡± Jolina gave Peter a disgusted look and then looked away. Peter narrowed his eyes when he said this. Sharon was still leaning in Peter¡¯s arms and did not see his sullen expression. She smiled and kept drawing circles on his chest. ¡°These two women are so nauseous to look at. Just let my men take them away. As for us, we can have fun tonight. I will show you what a real woman looks like,¡± Sharon said while brazenly stroking his face with her hand. Peter caught her hand by the wrist with one hand and yanked her hair down with the other. ¡°Aaaaah!¡± Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Sharon screamed in pain. Jolina looked over and saw Peter pulling at Sharon¡¯s hair and grabbing her wrist. Sharon¡¯s body bent backward in a weird posture, and she was begging Peter for mercy. ¡°What are you doing, Peter? Let go of me. You are hurting me, ah!¡± In disgust, Peter threw her to the ground and looked at her like she was trash. He pointed at Jolina and sneered at Sharon. ¡°Even if she is ying hard to get, I still like it. You hideous freak, stops being so obnoxious. Get lost!¡± When those guys saw Peter¡¯s overpowering aura and distinctive appearance, they got intimidated and fled. Sharon got up from the ground and stared at Peter balefully. ¡°Men are really masochistic, liking a woman who does not like them. Gilbert is like that, and you are like that, too. Are you men born to be masochistic?¡± Peter narrowed his eyes sinisterly. ¡°I dare you to repeat it. Sharon was indignant, but she was afraid of Peter. She shrank back and yelled defiantly, ¡°You just wait for that woman to cuckold you.¡± Not waiting for him to get angry, she turned and ran away. Jolina was relieved. She quickly squatted down to check on Kisa when she was pulled up forcefully from the ground. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 801 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 801 Chapter 801 Fun to Let Him Get Worried Peter dragged her toward the car without a word. ¡°Don¡¯t you touch me!¡± Jolina used all her strength to break away from him. ¡°Heh!¡± Peter let out a sardonicughter. ¡°You don¡¯t want me to touch you? Do you want those men to touch you?¡± As Jolina grimaced and ignored him, Peter lost his patience. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Aren¡¯t you afraid those guys will return?¡± Jolina looked at Kisa, who was still unconscious. Worrying about Kisa, she looked at Peter and pleaded with him for the first time. ¡°Then please drive Ms. Becker home.¡± Peter frowned in displeasure. ¡°Why should I? I don¡¯t give a shit about her. Come on. You areing back with me.¡± He tugged her hand. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Jolina avoided it and said with a stony face, ¡°Since you won¡¯t help her, I will stay with her and wait for a taxi.¡± ¡°You!¡± Peter was so furious that he ripped the buttons off his shirt under his trench coat. ¡°I don¡¯t even f*cking know where she stays. How do you want me to drive her back to her home?¡± Jolina froze, as she did not know where Kisa lived, either. ¡°T¨CThen you drive her and me to my ce.¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°All right then. I will wait here with her for a taxi, and you can go.¡± Peter was and did not know what more to say. He yelled at her, ¡°Why do you have to be such a busybody? What can you do, and why care about her? She is Gilbert¡¯s woman, so it is Gilbert¡¯s job to take care of her.¡± Jolina did not want to listen to his bullsh*t. She turned and walked over to Kisa, took Kisa¡¯s arm, and moved to pull her up. Peter stood in ce, looking at her coldly, angry, and grumpy. Just as Jolina was helping Kisa to sit up, a pair of muscr arms reached down. Stunned to see Peter carrying Kisa in his arms and walking to the car, she hurriedly followed. ¡°Where are you taking her?¡± Peter shoved Kisa into the back seat and yelled at Jolina without looking at her. ¡°Don¡¯t you f*cking want me to take you two back to your ce? Get your *ss in the car.¡± Jolina hated him for swearing. She was sick to her stomach of men spewing foulnguage. In her heart, Peter was neverparable to that teenager in white. It was a pity that she had been tainted and felt she no longer deserved that teenager. ¡°What are you waiting for? Get your *ss in here.¡± He roared impatiently again. Jolina lowered her eyes, hiding the sadness and grief in them as she got in. This was the first time she had ever sat in his car of her own ord. In the past, it was Peter who coerced or forced her. As she got in, she looked back at Kisa in the back seat with concern. Peter suddenly snorted, ¡°Don¡¯t meddle with such nonsense next time. If I hadn¡¯t felt bored ande looking for you, you and this woman would have been done for.¡± Jolina did not want to talk to him but looked nkly out the window. A car came from the opposite direction just two minutes into the drive. Peter nced at the license te number and smiled yfully, thinking, ¡®It could be fun to let him get worried a bit.¡® Gilbert stopped in front of the karaoke bar, got out of the car, and entered the bar at once. The people in the box were all drunk, lying around randomly, with the smell of cigarettes filling the room. Gilbert knitted his brows in disgust. He scanned the room quickly, and his heart sank when he did not see Kisa. He pulled up the director, who was lying on the coffee table. ¡°Drink,e on¡­ Let¡¯s get drunk!¡± The director mumbled to himself, obviously drunk. Anxious, Gilbert picked up a ss of water from the coffee table and sshed it directly on the director¡¯s face. The director let out a muffled grunt and opened his eyes in confusion. ¡°Who sshed me with water?¡± He was shocked when he saw Gilbert¡¯s sullen face. ¡°M- Mr. Kooper? Why are you here, too?¡± ¡°Where is Kisa?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 802 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 802 Chapter 802 Her Boyfriend Gilbert asked him anxiously. The director was transfixed for a long while before he said, though still sounding drunk, ¡°Kisa¡­ Hasn¡¯t Kisa gone home?¡± ¡°She has gone home?¡± ¡°Yeah, she just told us she was tired and wanted to go home and rest. I watched her walk out.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face changed. ¡®If Kisa has gone home on her own, why have I waited at home for so long without seeing her return? Or did she go home just when I came out to look for her?¡® Thinking of this, he hurriedly left the karaoke bar. It waste, and there were very few cars on the road, so Gilbert pushed the car to its limit and hoped that Kisa had really arrived home safely. He soon arrived at Kisa¡¯s ce. When he opened the door, there was still no one in the house, and the chicken gnhi soup he had brought with him was still resting on the coffee table. Obviously, Kisa had not returned. Gilbert leaned against the door, feeling a little exhausted. ording to the time the director said, Kisa should have arrived home long ago, but she had not. So he wondered where she could have gone and if she had met with an ident. His heart skipped a beat at the thought of this. After thinking for a couple of seconds, he turned around and left the house again. This time, he came to Lea¡¯s apartment, standing downstairs. Earlier, he was worried that Lea would harm Kisa and had asked Davian to find out where Lea lived. So he knew Lea¡¯s address. He now only hoped that Kisa was here in Lea¡¯s ce. Otherwise, the feeling of powerlessness and fear of being unable to find her would drive him crazy. Lea hurried down from upstairs, wrapped in her coat, with a look of anxiety on her face. ¡°You mean Kisa is missing?¡± she asked. Gilbert nodded. ¡°She went to sing karaoke with the crew and then disappeared. The director said she had gone home early, but I waited at her house for a long time, and she did not go home. So I want to ask you¡ª is she with you?¡± Lea shook her head. ¡°I know about the karaoke, and I was supposed to go with her, but I had a cold. So Kisa asked me to stay home to rest. She doesn¡¯t like to let me follow her anywhere, so I don¡¯t know her whereabouts. But¡­¡® Lea nced at him cautiously, ¡°Kisa said she is in love, so maybe¡­ Maybe she is at her boyfriend¡¯s ce.¡± ¡°I ¡®Her boyfriend? Am I not her boyfriend?¡® Gilbert pursed his lips. ¡°Okay, I got it. Sorry for disturbing you.¡± Lea looked at his worried face and said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, don¡¯t worry too much. The city is safe. Nothing will happen to Kisa.¡± Gilbert said nothing as he spun around and got back into his car. Lea watched his car leave, then turned and hurried upstairs. Once inside, Anthony dragged her to the bed and prated her with no forey. Heined as he thrusted, ¡°That was a bummer. Does Gilbert have nothing better to do?¡± Holding back her difort, Lea asked cautiously, ¡°Kisa is missing. You did nothing to her, did you?¡± ¡°Even if I want to do something to her, Adrien would disagree. He has warned me not to touch that woman during this time, saying it will spoil his grand n.¡± Lea couldn¡¯t help but sigh with relief. Anthony grunted and performed another powerful thrust. Seeing her frown, he snickered. ¡°Don¡¯t make a face like you are worried about her. Don¡¯t forget. You have betrayed her several times. The worry on your face is really ironic and disgusting.¡± Lea lowered her eyes sadly. ¡®If I could, I would rather die than betray Kisa, but I have no choice,¡® she thought to herself. Gilbert had searched almost halfway across Calthon, but still had not found Kisa. Davian had sent word that he had not found Kisa, either. Gilbert leaned back on the couch, Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. staring at the wall clock with bloodshot eyes. It was already 7.00 am. He did not know how he had spent the night, as all kinds of bad guesses haunted him and almost drove him crazy. He pulled at his hair irritably, extremely depressed. Suddenly, the phone on the coffee table rang. He looked at the phone screen, and his body tensed up. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 803 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 803 Chapter 803 Worried All Night Long It was Kisa¡¯s name that showed up on the screen. Gilbert picked up the phone and answered it with no hesitation. ¡°Hello, Gilbert?¡± When Kisa¡¯s voice came into his ears, he suddenly closed his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, all the worry, tension, and fear transformed into unspeakable anger. He gasped lightly, his ehest heaving. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. ¡°Gilbert?¡± Kisa called out again when she did not get a response. Gilbert clutched his phone and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Where are you?¡± ¡°Oh, I had an incident on the roadst night, and then Jolina saved me, and then I spent the night at Jolina¡¯s ce.¡± ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you return my messagesst night? Why didn¡¯t you answer my phone calls? Did you knowst night I was¡­ I was¡­¡± Gilbert yelled furiously, and at the end, he put a hand to his forehead, feeling powerless. Kisa felt Gilbert was angry when he suddenly stopped speaking. So she hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I did not mean not to answer your phone, nor did I mean not to return your message. It was just too noisy in the karaoke bar, and I didn¡¯t hear the phone ring. My phone just powered off by itself after you called several times,¡± Kisa said, her voice getting softer toward the end of the sentence. She was obviously diffident. Gilbert did not want to say anything more. Perhaps his nerves had been too tense all night. His strength seemed to have left him. He did not want to talk or do anything but just wanted to sleep. When Kisa did not get Gilbert¡¯s response, Kisa called out to him again, ¡°A¨CAre you angry, Gilbert?¡± ¡°Nope.¡± Gilbert suddenly whispered again when she was about to say something. ¡°That is all for now. You take care of yourself.¡± ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± Kisa wanted to speak again, but Gilbert had hung up. Gilbert was angry that Kisa did not listen and that she made him worried about her all night long. But more than anything, he was d she was safe and sound. Kisa put down her phone in frustration. She thought Gilbert was furious more than ever before. She kneaded her sore shoulder and thought to herself, ¡®I can¡¯t walk alone at night anymore. I never thought Sharon would have dared to knock me out on the street.¡¯ She narrowed her eyes coldly at the thought of what had happenedst night. ¡®Sharon doesn¡¯t seem to be really afraid if I don¡¯t teach her a lesson.¡¯ At that moment, Jolina walked in with a ss of orange juice and a couple of sandwiches. ¡°Ms. Becker, are you feeling better now? Have some breakfast.¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°Thank you and Peter forst night,¡± she said. Jolina had told her everything that had happenedst night when she woke up. So she was incredibly grateful to Jolina and Peter. If they had not appeared in time, she could not imagine what would have happened to her. She was in Jolina¡¯s house, a very modest one¨Croom apartment, which was exceptionally clean and tidy, just like Jolina herself. Kisa took a bite of the sandwich and smiled at her. ¡°Are you an actress, too? Whichpany are you from?¡± Jolina shook her head. ¡°I have just graduated from an art school this summer and have not signed up with anypany yet. I got this maid role on my own.¡± Kisa nodded, she did not ask her about her rtionship with Peter but just smiled at her. ¡°You are great. If you don¡¯t mind, you can sign up with the J & K Film Group.¡± Jolina¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Kisa smiled at her, feeling that this girl was quite affable. After leaving Jolina¡¯s ce, Kisa went straight back home. At first, she wanted to see Gilbert, but when she called his phone, he did not answer. She did not want to disturb him, thinking he might still be angry. She was stunned when she arrived at her apartment and entered her house. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 804 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 804 Chapter 804 Magical Messages The house was filled with the smell of cigarette smoke. Her heart skipped a beat, wondering if Gilbert had been here or was here at this moment. Thinking of this, she could not wait to check the rooms without changing her shoes. But there was no one there. Not giving up, she went to the bathroom¨C there was still no sign of Gilbert. So she thought he must have left. Kisa was disappointed and dropped onto the couch, staring nkly at the coffee table. She suddenly frowned and hurriedly sat up as she saw the ashtray on the coffee table full of cigarette butts. She remembered she had cleaned the ashtray, and Gilbert had note over in the past few days, so it had always been clean. But now, it was filled to the brim, and two cigarette butts were still burning and billowing white smoke. So she knew Gilbert must have stayed herest night and just left¨Che must have waited for her for a long time. She hurriedly took out her phone and wanted to call him. But just as she was about to do that, she spotted another thing out of the corner of her eye¨Can insted tote bag. Out of curiosity, she opened it and found a thermos bowl. She took the lid off and was surprised to see chicken gnhi soup. The bag and thermos bowl were so effective that the chicken gnhi soup was still warm. She quickly took a couple of sips, and the taste was so familiar, instantly reminding her of the early memories of her youth. Her heart was warmed. She put the phone aside. While drinking the chicken gnhi soup, she called Gilbert. Meanwhile, Davian was waiting for the traffic light when Gilbert¡¯s phone rang. He could not help but nce at Gilbert, who was leaning against the car window with his eyes closed as if he was asleep. He was holding his phone with his hand on hisp. The phone screen was facing upward, so Davian could clearly see Kisa¡¯s name. ¡®It is Mrs. Kooper calling! Hasn¡¯t Mr. Kooper been waiting for a call from his wife?¡± He pursed his lips and thought of alerting Gilbert but was afraid of disturbing him. He was in a dilemma for a long time and finally did nothing.Owned by N?velDrama.Org. The phone rang for a while before it stopped. Davian grimaced regretfully when Gilbert suddenly half¨Copened his eyes, staring at the dimmed cell phone screen. Davian was shocked. ¡®Phew! I didn¡¯t know that Mr. Kooper had heard the ringing just now. It turned out that he just did not want to answer it. Fortunately, I didn¡¯t act like a busybody.¡¯ After the ringing stopped, Gilbert¡¯s phone softly buzzed as if it had received a message. Gilbert half¨C raised his arm tapped on the phone and took a look, then the gloom on his face vanished. Davian looked on with mouth agape. Gilbert put away his phone and said casually, ¡°Are you trying to block the road?¡± Davian returned to his senses and looked up, only to see that the traffic light had long since turned green, with the cars behind ring their horns. He quickly started the car but still felt incredulous and curious. What kind of message could instantly make Mr. Kooper feel better? He never batted an eyelid even when he looked at the dor figures after earning tons of money back then.¡® Kisa finished the chicken gnhi soup and picked up her phone. She had sent that message long ago, but Gilbert had not replied. She grimaced, frustrated by Gilbert¡¯s fiendish temper. ¡®Forget it, no more coaxing him,¡® she said in her mind. She put down her phone and went straight to her room to sleep. The next day, fearing Kisa¡¯s retaliation, Sharon called Carolyn and Christopher over. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 805 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 805 Chapter 805 Payback Time Christopher probably lost his patience as he had tried to leave several times, but Carolyn forced him to stay. During the break, Kisa looked at Christopher quietly. She no longer had any affection for her father. Her dearest and most beloved person was her mother. Probably because of guilt, Christopher was afraid to look her in the eyes. Kisa sneered, feeling sad to see their rtionshipe to such a pass. ¡°I have just asked you toe to visit Sharon today. She will be off work in a few minutes. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?¡± Carolyn scolded Christopher in anger. ¡°I really have urgent business. Besides, I am already here, and it is meaningless to keep waiting.¡± ¡°Heh, don¡¯t lie to me. I know there has not been much going on at the officetely. And even if there is, it is not as important as Sharon, okay?¡± ¡°All right, all right. I¡¯m not leaving. Please stop arguing and making a scene here, lest people would laugh at us.¡± ¡°Heh, who dares tough at us but that b*stard of yours? I don¡¯t know why you brought her backst time. She is a real pain in the *ss, getting in Sharon¡¯s way.¡± Kisa snickered, thinking, ¡®This viperous Sharon used to have a good hand to y. But she ruined it. Now they even have the nerve to me it all on me.¡¯ Kisa put on her headphones and listened to music so their noises would not hurt her ears. By the time the work was over, Sharon had left in a hurry. She expected that with Carolyn and Christopher around, Kisa would not dare to do anything to her. But when they left the set, Kisa brought a few bodyguards and stopped them. This was the day for Kisa to take revenge on Sharon because today¡¯s shooting was on location in the countryside, where she would get back at Sharon, and no one woulde to Sharon¡¯s rescue, no matter how loud she screamed. Seeing the bodyguards beside Kisa, Sharon¡¯s face changed, and she shouted, ¡°What do you want, b*tch?¡± ¡°Nothing. I want to do what you did to mest night. We are in the same production team, so I just want to return the favor.¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t know what you are talking about.¡± Sharon pretended not to understand, pushed her away, and tried to leave. However, Kisa¡¯s bodyguards pinned her down. Carolyn screamed at once upon seeing this. ¡°What do you want to do to Sharon? This is a country with the rule ofw. How can you do this? Everyone,e see what Kisa is doing¨Cshe is bullying Sharon!¡± This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Not far away, a few crew members said to the director, ¡°There seems to be amotion over there.

Let¡¯s not meddle in it.¡± Kisa had given him the heads¨Cup earlier today, so he would not intervene this time. Soon, the director, some crews, and a few artists left in their cars. Carolyn¡¯s face changed, and she shouted as those cars left. ¡°What are you all doing? You won¡¯t do anything about it even when you see this woman bullying Sharon, will you? Th¨CThis is too much!¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Christopher tugged at Carolyn, gesturing for her to stop yelling. ¡°Stop embarrassing yourself!¡± ¡°Embarrassing? You are doing nothing even when you see this b*stard bully Sharon! Are you still a man?¡± Christopher could not feel more annoyed. He shrugged off Carolyn and looked at Kisa, his tone of voice and attitude changing instantly.

Why did you have Sharon held up?¡± ¡°Dad, help me. This b*tch just can¡¯t stand to see me getting sessful. Help me, Dad!¡± Sharon pleaded for his help. Instead of looking at Sharon, Christopher tried to please Kisa. ¡°Tell me your grievances, Kisa. Don¡¯t do this, or it will harm the family harmony.¡± ¡®Family?¡® Kisa snickered. ¡®When I was down and out, this man never recognized me as the Case family¡¯s daughter and even joined Carolyn in attacking me. Now that I¡¯m rich, he is shamelessly talking about family.¡® Kisa sat on a chair and looked indifferently at the family of three, which she wanted to have nothing to do with now. She sneered at Christopher. ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask Sharon what she did to mest night?¡± Christopher looked at Sharon, and Sharon hung her head sheepishly and said, ¡°I did nothing to her. She is just making things up.¡± ¡°Absolutely. Don¡¯t you even trust your own daughter anymore?¡± Carolyn pinched Christopher on the arm and retorted, ¡°That b*stard is jealous of Sharon, and that is why she has brought men to ensnare Sharon here. She just wants to ruin Sharon.¡± Kisa¡¯s stomach hurt fromughing at this. ¡°I¡¯m jealous of her? I really don¡¯t know if you guys have no self- awareness or are overconfident. Do you think I have to be jealous of her with my fame and status nowadays?¡± Christopher looked at the sneer on Kisa¡¯s face and felt that this daughter of his had changed; he no longer recognized her. Only her eyes still looked the same as that woman in his memory. ¡°What are you doing standing transfixed here? Help Sharon!¡± Christopher was lost in thought when Carolyn gave him another pinch on the arm. Feeling pain, he shook off Carolyn¡¯s hand and asked Kisa, ¡°What did Sharon do to youst night? Tell me.¡± Owned by N?velDrama.Org. It had been a long time since Kisast saw her father, and when she finally saw him, his attitude toward her changed dramatically. This was thanks to her current fame and status. But she found what he said filled with caustic irony. Had her father been willing to stand by her when she was down and out, she would not have beenpletely disappointed with him. She leaned back in her chair and said absently, ¡°Last night, our production team went to a karaoke bar, and when I was going home, this so¨Ccalled good sister knocked me out halfway and hired a few men attempting to rape me.

You should quickly get Sharon back!¡± Christopher stood still and only spoke when nudged by Carolyn. ¡°Is there some kind of misunderstanding, Kisa? Sharon couldn¡¯t be this vicious.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Kisa sneered, knowing that this father of hers would only ever be on Sharon¡¯s side, no matter what. Just then, two people were walking in their direction. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 807 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 807 Chapter 807 An Eye for an Eye Carolyn saw this and was delighted. She sneered at Kisa, ¡°Do you really think there will be no one here in the suburbs, and you can do whatever you want?¡± She then called out to the two people, ¡°Come and see, the celebrity Kisa brought a group of men to bully my daughter.¡± When Kisa saw the faces of the two people, a sneer shed across her face. And Sharon¡¯s face turned pale. It was Jolina and Peter. Carolyn was transfixed for a moment and felt that the man looked very familiar. She tugged at his arm without giving it a second thought. ¡°Please help my daughter,¡± Carolyn said, pointing at Kisa, cursing, ¡°That woman is trying to hurt my daughter, thinking that no one can see it in the suburb-¡± Before Carolyn could finish, Peter yanked her hand away in disgust and stepped aside. If Jolina had not asked him to testify against Sharon, he would not have bothered toe and watch these clowns perform. ¡®Argh, this is really boring!¡¯ he groused in his mind. When Jolina walked silently to stand beside Kisa, Carolyn¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. ¡°Y¨CYou guys are all in the same gang?¡± Jolina looked at Carolyn and Christopher and said matter¨Cof¨Cfactly, ¡°Last night, I saved Miss Becker when 1 saw that Miss Case knocked Ms. Becker unconscious and heard her asking several men to take her away and to ruin and take nude pictures of her.¡± ¡°You lie!

Peter looked at her and sneered, ¡°I think you are the one who should go to hell.¡± Sharon red at Jolina and Kisa. She shrank back in fear and looked to Carolyn and Christopher for help when Peter sneered at her. Filled with hatred and resentment, she could not reconcile with the fact that these women had the backing of powerful men¨CKisa had Gilbert and Jensen, Jolina had Peter, and even Lea had Anthony, but she had nothing. Sharon was bitter and could not understand in what way she was not as good as these women. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Just as her resentment was raging, Christopher pped her across the face. This bbergasted her. Carolyn was also shocked and rushed to stop Christopher. ¡°What are you doing? Are you crazy? Why did you hit Sharon?¡± Christopher ignored Carolyn as he scolded Sharon. ¡°You are a disappointment. Stop running others down simply because you aren¡¯t as good as others! Kisa amodated you when she was small, yet you did this to her. How could you be so heartless?¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m heartless. But even so, I¡¯m better than you, a coward!¡± Christopher¡¯s face turned red after being called a coward by his own daughter. Peter could not hold back hisughter while Kisa lowered her eyes, not with glee but with sadness. Christopher was so mad that he raised his hand and pped Sharon again. Carolyn rushed to hold his hand back. ¡°What are you doing? Do you want to kill your own daughter so that b*stard can have a goodugh? Fine, then you can kill me too.¡± Kisa did not give a damn about their bullsh*t. She sneered at Christopher and Carolyn. ¡°I have told you the entire story. Sharon is the one who hurt me first, so don¡¯t me me for not showing mercy.¡± Christopher¡¯s face changed. ¡°What are you going to do to her?¡± ¡°Heh, didn¡¯t I just say that¨CI will give as good as I get?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 808 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 808 Chapter 808 Don¡¯t Talk to Her About Family Love Kisa looked at the bodyguards. ¡°You guys drag her to the bushes so it won¡¯t dirty everyone¡¯s eyes with that scene. Ahh,¡± Something suddenly came to mind, and the corners of her lips hooked up in a ruthless smile, ¡°remember to take pictures.¡± ¡°No! Kisa, you viperous b*tch! I hope you will die a horrible death! Let go of me! Let go of me!¡± Sharon hissed and screamed hysterically. Carolyn was so mad she was about to lunge at Kisa to hit her. ¡°You b*tch, how dare you do this to Sharon! B*tch!¡± Christopher quickly pulled her back and pleaded with Kisa. ¡°Don¡¯t do this. We are family. Don¡¯t make things too ugly.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Kisa looked at them with cold eyes. ¡°You care so much about your daughter, huh? Am I not someone else¡¯s daughter, then? When you conspired with her to harm me, did you ever think my mother would be sad and hurt, too? You can brazenly hurt and bully me just because my mother is no longer here? Kisa smiled with tears in her eyes. Peter looked at her quietly, and it hurt him to hear her say her mother was no longer there. His hand subconsciously sped the bracelet on his other wrist. ¡°Aaaaah¡­ Let go of me! Don¡¯t touch me with your dirty hands. Aaaaah, get off of me!¡± Sharon¡¯s terrified screams came from the bushes. Kisa leaned back in her chair with a faint smile, looking indifferent. Carolyn was going crazy, hissing as she lunged out to aid Sharon but was quickly stopped by Kisa¡¯s bodyguards. She could only curse and hiss at Kisa. Christopher was profusely sweating as he rubbed his hands together and pleaded with Kisa. ¡°I beg you, don¡¯t do this to Sharon. She is your sister, at least, your own sister. How can you do this to her?¡± ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you say something about her when she did this to me?¡± Kisa sneered, her heart as cold and hard as steel. The moment her mother passed away, their kinship was long gone. Today, no one could talk to her about family love. Christopher had no choice but to kneel to Kisa, and he did. Seeing him bend his knees to kneel, Kisa quickly signaled the bodyguard beside her to stop him. Christopher was delighted. ¡°I knew you wouldn¡¯t make me kneel.¡± Kisa snickered. ¡°I just don¡¯t want to discredit myself. As much as I hate to admit that you are my father, it is a fact that can never be changed.¡± Mixed emotions shed across Christopher¡¯s face, and he pleaded with Kisa again. ¡°I know you hate me, but Sharon is your sister. You really can¡¯t do this to her. She did a lot of things that wronged you in the past. But don¡¯t worry, I will teach her a lessonter.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Kisa snickered and said absently, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say she is my younger sister?

Just pretending to say a few words, not even saying anything, but giving her a pat on the back for doing a fantastic job?¡± ¡°Kisa¡­¡± Christopher stooped to his humblest level in front of Kisa, pleading with her. ¡°What will it take for you to let Sharon go? Tell me, and I will give you my word.¡± ¡°Oh, yeah.¡± Kisa looked at him with a faint smile and said slowly, ¡°I want my mother toe back to life.¡± Christopher¡¯s face changed, and he looked sad. ¡°You know that this is not possible.¡± ¡°Well, well, well.

When Kisa gradually lifted her gaze, she saw Adrien trudging toward her with a cigarette in his hand. Meanwhile, Carolyn looked at Adrien as if he were her savior. She broke free from the grasp of the bodyguards and ran up to Adrien. Then, she grabbed his arm while saying in panic, ¡°Please save my daughter, Mr. Tanner. I¡¯m begging you; please save her¡­¡± Sharon was screaming at the top of her lungs in the bushes; her piercing scream sounded terrifying since they were in a parnd. Adrien scanned the area with a smile before turning to Kisa, ¡°What¡¯s happening here?¡± Kisa merely sneered and did not respond. Peter had his hands in his pockets. ¡°Last night, Sharon knocked Kisa out. She intended to get some men to force themselves onto Kisa, but I saved her. What do you know? Today, Sharon got what she wasing to her.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t listen to him, Mr. Tanner! My daughter is innocent! Sharon is one of the kindest people, so please hurry and save her.¡± Carolyn quickly cut in and shook Adrien¡¯s hand non¨Cstop after Peter finished. Adrien nced at her panicked expression coolly. A momentter, he shifted his gaze to the bushes nearby. A few bodyguards were standing on the grass, unmoving. He vaguely saw Sharon shrieking and struggling as a man yanked on her shirt. It only took him one nce to understand the situation. Adrien brushed Carolyn¡¯s hand away and walked up to Kisa. Then, he smiled at her amiably, ¡°This doesn¡¯t seem like a good idea, considering how you¡¯re both working together. It¡¯ll give both of you a bad name if this gets out. Listen to your Uncle Adrien and let her go. Besides, she¡¯s probably scared out of her mind now.¡± Adrien and Christopher stood side by side. One stood upright with the charming smile of a mature man on his face, while the other stood hunched over as if he were bowing and scraping. The more Carolyn looked at Christopher, the more she thought he was an eyesore. She nced at Christopher disdainfully before peering at Adrien. When her eyes shifted to Adrien, a hint of admiration could be seen within. Kisa lowered her gaze and smiled, ¡°Since you¡¯ve given the word, I¡¯ll let her go for Christopher was delighted. He turned to Kisa with mixed emotions in his eyes. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. However, Kisa did not spare him a single nce. She stood up with a small smile before slowly walking to the side of the bushes. Among the bushes was Sharon, with her disheveled hair and messy makeup. your sake.¡± Her initially unnatural face looked more peculiar than ever after she had screamed her lungs out ceaselessly moments ago. Only two flimsy pieces of underwear were left on her body. Sharon sat on the ground, disheveled. She red at Kisa through bloodshot eyes even though two bodyguards were grabbing her tightly by her shoulders. Kisa squatted down in front of her with a slight smile. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you still not satisfied yet?¡± ¡°Ptooey! You b*tch¡­¡± SLAPI Just as Sharon started cussing, Kisa pped her across the face. Carolyn saw red, ¡°You b*tch! How dare you p Sharon!¡± However, Christopher quickly stopped her before she could run over. Carolyn looked down on Christopher even more now that shepared him with Adrien. She flung Christopher¡¯s arm aside and scolded him disdainfully, ¡°You¡¯re such a wimp; you can¡¯t be considered a man!¡± Adrien peered at the disdain on Carolyn¡¯s face. Then, a small smile gradually formed on his face. Meanwhile, Sharon red at Kisa with a vicious look in her eyes after she got pped. Kisa chuckled as she rubbed her numb hands together, ¡°It seems like you still haven¡¯t learned your lesson. Shall I let my bodyguards continue?¡± Finally, Sharon¡¯s expression changed a little. She turned to Carolyn and Adrien in a panic. The only person she did not turn to was Christopher. Kisaughed icily before grabbing Sharon¡¯s chin abruptly.

However, she was in pain from the grip on her chin, so she could not throw a deathly re at her. Kisa chuckled, ¡°This time, I¡¯ll let you go for Mr. Tanner¡¯s sake. Besides, I¡¯ve recently been investigating the true perpetrator behind the fire. If I learn that you had something to do with the fire, then¡­ Even God won¡¯t be able to save you.¡± Kisa said with a cold and ruthless expression. For a moment, Sharon was speechless and stared at Kisa with a stunned expression. She seemed as if she was genuinely frightened. Kisa sneered as she flung her aside. Then, she led the bodyguards away. Meanwhile, Peter had seen enough of the drama and dragged Jolina away. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Soon after everyone left, Carolyn eagerly went into the bushes. She hugged a disheveled¨Clooking Sharon while cursing, ¡°That wench! How dare she treat you this way. I¡¯ll surely make her regret this; mark my words!¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Christopher could not stand them and growled, ¡°She was already kind enough to let Sharon go. Did you not see what Sharon did to her? She was simply returning the favor based on an eye for an eye!¡± ¡°What are you saying? Are you siding with the b*stard child? Did you see how much of a wimp you looked like? If it weren¡¯t for Mr. Tanner, do you think that b*tch would¡¯ve let Sharon go? Let me tell you something, I want that b*stard child dead. Stop taking pity on her.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not taking pity on her. I just think she wouldn¡¯t be taking revenge on you two if you hadn¡¯t tried to harm her. After all, it all started because you two had ill intentions and were always trying to harm her!¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough! From what I see, you¡¯re pitying that b*stard child. You¡¯re thinking of her wench of a mother again!¡± Carolyn roared. Christopher could not be bothered by her words. Nearby stood Adrien as he revealed an icy smile. A momentter, he started walking toward them. At that moment, Carolyn was draping her coat onto Sharon¡¯s body. When she saw Adrien walking toward them, she hurriedly said to Sharon, ¡°Sharon, you need to thank Mr. Tanner properly for begging that wench. As for your wimp of a father, we really can¡¯t expect much from him.¡± Christopher immediately frowned. He snapped, ¡°How am I a wimp? Wasn¡¯t I trying my best to save Sharon earlier on?¡± ¡°Hah!¡± Carolyn snorted sardonically, ¡°You did try your best, but you were trying your best to please that b* stard child!¡± Christopher was so enraged his face turned red, ¡°You¡¯re impossible! I can¡¯t be bothered to talk to you.¡± ¡°Hmph. You can¡¯t be bothered to talk to me, and I am? Let me tell you, the thing that I regret the most in my life is marrying a useless wimp like you,¡± Carolyn said as she shoved Christopher in contempt. Christopher took a few steps back. His face was filled with rage. However, he could not be bothered to argue with Carolyn when he saw how deranged and shrewish she looked. He reached out to grab Sharon¡¯s arm, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Sharon. Come with daddy.¡± He did not expect Sharon to immediately retract her hand. Sharon gazed at him in disdain, ¡°You call yourself my dad? I¡¯m being bullied by that wench. Not only did you not save me, you even bowed and kneeled to her. I¡¯ve never seen a father as cowardly as you. You can¡¯t hold a candle to Mr. Tanner.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Adrien was so furious he felt dizzy. He could put up with Carolyn looking down on him. However, he did not expect the daughter he had spoiled since she was a child to scorn him too. Suddenly, he was reminded of Kisa and her quiet, nd mother. At thisparison, he abruptly felt a twinge in his heart. Then, he felt an indescribable sense of sorrow. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 811 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 811 Chapter 811 My Wife Passed On Long Ago Carolyn and Sharon ignored him. Instead, they walked straight toward Adrien. Carolyn gazed at Adrien with a hint of admiration in her eyes. Even her tone toward Adrien was also significantly gentler. ¡°Sorry about airing our family¡¯s dirtyundry in front of you, Mr. Tanner.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Adrien smiled considerately and continued, ¡°Every family has their own problems; I understand.¡± Carolyn looked at him in admiration, ¡°You¡¯re such a considerate gentleman, Mr. Tanner. Your wife is a very lucky person.¡± Adrien shook his head sadly. ¡°Unfortunately, my wife passed on long ago. I don¡¯t have any children, so I¡¯m envious of how lively your family is.¡± However, Carolyn did not hear the second half of his sentence. All she could hear was the part where he said ¡°my wife passed on long ago.¡± She felt a hint of glee. Regardless, she kept a calm demeanor, ¡°That truly is unfortunate.

Unlike my useless father, you¡¯re charming, capable, and rather influential. Sigh! If only I were your daughter.¡± ¡®Tsk!¡® thought Christopher, standing nearby while frowning deeply. He watched as his wife and daughter worshipped Adrien. Then only did Christopher start to inspect Adrien¡¯s appearance. However, no matter how he looked at Adrien, he looked a little familiar. ¡®I won¡¯t say that his appearance is familiar, but he carries an air of distinctiveness that¡¯s familiar,¡® he thought. Christopher frowned as a silhouette shed across his mind. Momentster, he shook his head again. ¡®It¡¯s impossible. That man disappeared a long time ago, so it¡¯s definitely not him. Besides, their appearances arepletely different,¡® he thought again. When Kisa got home, she felt a little worn out. However, when she thought of Gilbert, she felt warm and not as tired anymore. She unlocked her phone and nced at it. Momentster, she shook her head in amusement. ¡®He must be addicted to getting angry; he actually didn¡¯t text or call me for an entire day. Fine by me! If he wants to be angry, then he can talk to me when he¡¯s done being angry,¡® she thought. Kisa set her phone down. Then, she walked to the bathroom. It was dark out when Gilbert woke up in the Kooper family¡¯s residence. He sat up in a daze. Momentster, he finally realized that he was back home. Gilbert was so worried about Kisast night that he did not catch sleep a wink. After he got home, he took a shower and fell right asleep. He did not expect to sleep until now. ¡®I haven¡¯t slept this deeply in a long time. I wonder if Kisa looked for me,¡® he thought. Gilbert hurriedly searched for his phone when he thought of the woman. He was eager to know if she had texted or called him. He switched on the wallmp and looked around his bedside table. However, there was no sight of his phone. Gilbert could not help but frown. ¡®I remember putting it on the bedside table before I went to sleep. So, where¡¯s my phone? Did¡­¡® he thought. Gilbert suddenly thought of a possibility. He quickly got off his bed and ran outside. ¡°Send this upstairs once Gilbert wakes up. Do you understand?¡± ¡°Understood, ma¡¯am!¡± Madalyn was ordering the maids when she saw Gilbert rushing down the stairs. She hurriedly went up to him with an amiable smile, ¡°You¡¯re awake. Are you feeling better now?¡± Gilbert did not respond. His eyes drifted around the room in a panic. Madalyn knew what he was thinking. She took a phone out of her pocket, ¡°Is this what you¡¯re looking for?¡± Gilbert did not immediately ept the phone. Instead, he carefully scrutinized his grandmother¡¯s expression. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 812 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 812 Chapter 812 Test Me Gilbert had deleted his call and chat history with Kisa long ago. However, he was worried that Kisa had sent him new messages today. ¡®If grandma sees them, my efforts from the past few will go to waste,¡® he thought. Madalyn¡¯s expression remained unchanged. Seeing him not ept the phone, Madalyn could not help butugh, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You¡¯re angry that your grandmother went through your phone?¡± ¡°No,¡± Gilbert epted the phone. He smiled and asked, ¡°Why are you suddenly interested in my phone?¡± ¡°Well, I went to your room to check on you, and your phone rang. I was worried it would wake you up, so I took it outside.¡± Gilbert frowned slightly and felt a little panicked. ¡®My phone rang? Who was the call from? Kisa? But judging from grandma¡¯s calm expression, it shouldn¡¯t be Kisa. Otherwise, grandma would¡¯ve quarreled with me,¡® he thought. Madalyn pulled Gilbert onto the couch before asking the maids to bring out the food. After Gilbert sat on the couch, he did not check his phone so that he would not raise his grandmother¡¯s suspicion. Instead, he casually shoved it into his pocket. The maids quickly brought out the food. There were a few nice¨Clooking desserts and a bowl of soup. Madalyn looked at Gilbert affectionately and said in a reproachful tone, ¡°You haven¡¯t gotten this tired for a long time. I told you to take care of yourself, but you never listen.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have a choice; too many things have been happening in thepany recently. I was busy handling contracts in my office the entire night.¡± Gilbert said with a straight face while reaching out to grab the soup bowl. Madalyn shook her head, ¡°That won¡¯t work. What if you exhaust yourself? This won¡¯t work; you should hire a few more assistants because Davian alone is not enough. Besides, Davian doesn¡¯t handle things efficiently.¡± She continued, ¡°Back when he came to GK Pictures for his interview, he was a deadbeat. He was the candidate I least favored; I don¡¯t know what was going on in your head when you chose him.¡± Years ago, when Davian was still rtively young, he went to his interview with GK Pictures dressed in shabby¨Clooking clothes. He was stopped by security just as he entered the building. If Gilbert had not passed by coincidentally and let him in, Davian would not even have gotten through the main entrance, Gilbert smiled, ¡°Davian¡¯s great. He¡¯s reliable. I don¡¯t trust other people.¡± Seeing how Gilbert trusted Davian so much, Madalyn could not say anything. Instead, she watched him affectionately as he ate. When Madalyn saw how Gilbert was almost finished with his meal, a glint appeared in her eyes. She gave him a half¨Csmile, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to ask who called you earlier on?¡± ¡°Probably Davian,¡± Gilbert answered casually. Madalyn tugged her lips, ¡°It was Kisa Becker.¡± Gilbert¡¯s back stiffened. He was so startled he almost spat out his soup. Thankfully, he regained hisposure quickly and returned to his calm demeanor. He swallowed the soup in his mouth before asking straight¨Cfaced, ¡°Oh? Kisa? Why¡¯d she call me?¡± Then, he purposefully let out a sardonic snort, ¡°Well, I haven¡¯t acknowledged her in a while, after all. She must¡¯ve panicked and wanted to test if I still cared about her.¡± After he finished his sentence, he picked up a dessert and ate it with relish. Madalyn stared at him briefly as if she were looking for clues on his face. After a while, she finally smiled, ¡°You¡¯re such a narcissist. She didn¡¯t call to test you.¡± ¡°Is that so? Then why did she call me? It couldn¡¯t be about work, right? GK Pictures isn¡¯t working with J & K Film Group,¡± Gilbert said indifferently. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. However, Madalyn snorted icily, ¡°Hah. That wench called to curse at you. You didn¡¯t expect that, right?¡± Gilbert was startled once more. Momentster, he feigned contempt and asked, ¡°Really? What did she say?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 813 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 813 Chapter 813 She¡¯s Overestimating Herself N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. ¡°After I picked up the phone, she started hurling insults before I could even speak. She called you heartless, ruthless, and cunning for partnering with Sharon to set her up. She also mentioned that she wouldn¡¯t let you get away and that she¡¯ll definitely get back at you and Sharon and make you two end up miserable.¡± Hearing Madalyn¡¯s words, Gilbert could not help but picture Kisa hurling insults. He unconsciously let out augh. Madalyn immediately frowned, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You seem pretty happy about her hurling insults at you?¡± The smile on Gilbert¡¯s face dropped abruptly. Then, he responded coolly, ¡°Of course not. I¡¯mughing at how she¡¯s overestimating herself by thinking she can beat me with J & K Film Group. She¡¯s underestimating me. Hah, she¡¯s saying that she¡¯ll make me miserable, but does she have what it takes?¡± When Madalyn noticed the contempt and iciness in Gilbert¡¯s words, the suspicion on her face gradually dissipated. She snorted icily, ¡°That¡¯s true; that woman doesn¡¯t have what it takes to beat us. If it weren¡¯t for Jensen, she would¡¯ve died long ago.¡± Gilbert felt a twinge in his heart when he thought of how Kisa almost died. ¡°What else did that woman say after that?¡± Gilbert asked in a calm voice. ¡°Nothing much; she hung up right after she finished insulting you. I was so angry! I immediately called her back so that I could retaliate. But that wench didn¡¯t pick up!¡± Hearing this, Gilbert thought in amusement, ¡®When Kisa called me, she must¡¯ve figured out the person on the other end was grandma when nobody spoke for a while. Hah, that woman¡¯s pretty sharp¨C witted.¡± ¡°Hmph! I¡¯ll let it slide this time. If she calls to insult you again, I¡¯ll definitely make her pay!¡± Madalyn snarled. Gilbert held her hands with a smile, ¡°Alright, grandma. Don¡¯t be angry. She¡¯s prattling because she¡¯s incapable. She wouldn¡¯t call me to vent if she were capable, right?¡± Madalyn nodded. ¡°You¡¯re right. However, what did she mean about you working with Sharon to set her up?¡± ¡°How¡¯d the heck I know? She¡¯s always saying that I set her up every time anything happens. I¡¯m used to it by now.¡± Madalyn nodded again before asking worriedly, ¡°You¡­ You¡¯vepletely broken it off with her?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Gilbert leaned back a little. Then, he smiled casually, ¡°She doesn¡¯t even like me, so why should I waste my time on her? Besides, after reflecting for days, I realized that I don¡¯t actually like her anymore. I was so hung up on her previously because I couldn¡¯t let go of the past. Now that I see the light, I just want to be by your side.¡± Hearing this, Madalyn immediately felt relieved. She gave him a satisfied nod, ¡°This is great! This way, that woman won¡¯t be able to bring harm to you.¡± Gilbert lifted his gaze and looked at the wall clock. A momentter, he turned to Madalyn, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. You should get some rest, grandma.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not tired yet. Why don¡¯t you keep mepany and chat with me?¡± Alright.¡± And so, Madalyn and Gilbert chatted from eight o¡¯clock to ten. Madalyn finally went to her room to sleep after she kept on yawning and could no longer her sleepiness. Gilbert sighed in relief when Madalyn went to her room. In excitement, he took out his phone to call Kisa. However, his phone rang just as he took it out. It was a call from Davian. He frowned. ¡®It¡¯ste. Is Davian looking for me because of work?¡® he wondered. Then, he answered the phone. ¡°Are you awake now, Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°Get to the point,¡± Gilbert got up to pour himself a ss of water. Davian quickly continued, ¡°Have you seen the videos and photos I sent yet? They¡¯re about Mrs. Kooper.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 814 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 814 Chapter 814 Pamper Her To No End Gilbert slightly furrowed his brows, ¡± When did you send it?¡± ¡°Just now. I was worried it would interrupt your rest, so I didn¡¯t dare send it to you so soon. Until it was nighttime, I thought you would be awake then, so I sent it to you. Who knew you would not reply to me for most of the day? That¡¯s why I¡¯m calling you now to ask you,¡± Davian replied. Gilbert did not even listen to thest half of Davian¡¯s report. He merely searched through his chat messages to check for himself. In the end, he found out Davian had sent him quite a few messages. At the very top were a video and a few pictures. In the video, the scene showed Sharon being held by the jaw by Kisa while being brutally scolded and insulted by her. The pictures behind were all images of Sharon in ragged clothing and embarrassing, pitiful states. While looking at Kisa¡¯s cruel and cold expression in the videos, he scrunched his brows and asked Davian, ¡°When did this incident ur?¡± ¡°Right during the evening when they finished their work. The madam made a blockade at the production set in the outskirts to beat up Sharon. Both Christopher and Carolyn were present then.¡± Gilbert¡¯s sat back onto the sofa and could not help but let out a single chuckle, ¡°She hit her good. This time, Kisa should¡¯ve vented her grievances harshly.¡± Davian¡¯s face fell, and he immediately said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, that was not the point. The point is this video, and these pictures are detrimental to the madam. I intercepted these from one of the newspaper companies. If the public got to see these, the image of the madam would be damaged heavily. It¡¯s no wonder that Sharon would definitely send these videos and pictures to other newspaperpanies. When this headlinees out tomorrow, the madam will be screwed.¡± After Davian finished speaking, he could not help butin,¡± The madam is really a piece of work. Even though she has a huge grudge against Sharon, she can¡¯t treat Sharon like that in broad daylight. It was even right before the eyes of Sharon¡¯s parents. Sigh, this¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you take any action?¡± Gilbert interrupted his rant and asked absent¨Cmindedly. Davian was stunned, ¡± I¡­ Wasn¡¯t I waiting for your instructions?¡± ¡°You still need instructions for this? Quickly, go to all the media outlets and intercept all these videos and pictures. In addition, for the videos uploaded onto the inte, use other hot topics to suppress it as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, for the ones on the inte, you have no need to worry. When the Case family uploaded it to the inte, I already let the PR department suppress this news. Besides that, J & K Film Group¡¯s PR department is also busy with this incident, so you don¡¯t need to worry about it.¡± Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Gilbert let a light breath of relief. Davian spoke again but with more caution in his voice,¡± Mr. Kooper, next time you meet the madam, you need to advise her properly. Don¡¯t let her do this maniacal stuff in broad daylight. She is now a celebrity. It¡¯s all about the image.¡± Gilbert huffed out and spoke, ¡°If she likes to, then great. With me protecting her, what is there to be afraid ¡® of.¡± Davian felt speechless. ¡®Alright, Mr. Kooper wants to pamper the madam to no end this time,¡® Davian thought. Cutting off the call between him and Davian, Gilbert looked at the scene of Kisa pping Sharon in the video. The more he watched, the more he wanted tough. ¡°When she gets brutal, she gets really brutal,¡® Gilbert thought. Fortunately, she forgave him now. Otherwise, he would also be afraid of her brutality and heartlessness. He leaned back onto the sofa with his head facing up. He scrolled through it to find Kisa¡¯s phone number. When he was just considering making a call, he suddenly saw that the hanging clock on the wall was showing that it was almost half past ten. Worried she might have gone to sleep, his fingers hovered over Kisa¡¯s number. Then he opened the chat message board he had with her. The chat box was empty. Gilbert swiftly typed out a line of words, ¡°You asleep?¡± After a long while, Kisa has yet to return any messages back. Gilbert shook his head while he chuckled. ¡®She most likely had gone to sleep,¡® Gilbert thought. It¡¯s a shame he could not fall asleep. He unhappily leaned on the sofa. On such a long night, he feared it would be unbearable. He wanted to look for her but was scared of being found out by his grandmother. ¡®The old saying about how being lovesick is the most unbearable makes a lot of sense to me now,¡® Gilbert thought. The next day, when the sun had barely rose, Kisa rushed to the airport. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 815 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 815 Chapter 815 Crazy Movie Fans She could not stop yawning and asked Lea, ¡± Didn¡¯t you say we are going to Athadale tomorrow? Why are we going there today?¡± She was supposed to be in blissful slumber at this time. Lea called her suddenly, saying that the time to go to Athadale was changed and they had to go there today. Therefore, she hastily crawled out of bed. She did not even have time to put on makeup and proceeded to rush hurriedly to the airport. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Lea brought a stylist and a make¨Cup artist, both hired by Jensen. Lea said to Kisa in distress, ¡°I don¡¯t know why they always change the schedule. It was Mr. Jensen who informed me in the middle of the night. For me to let you have a bit more sleep, I called you when it was dawn.¡± Kisa smiled at Lea, ¡°It must¡¯ve been hard for you. You can sleep for a while on theer.¡± ¡°Mhm,¡± Lea immediately nodded her head, and a glint of happiness shed within her heart. This was the first time in a long time that Kisa had cared about her. Kisa sat in the first¨Css cabin. The ne cabin had only Lea and her, with the other stylists and make¨Cup artists. It was currently six in the morning, and they should reach Athadale at around 10 o¡¯clock. The event organizer had arranged a hotel for them. Once they depart from the ne, personnel will be sent to fetch them. However, due to her current poprity and status, many reporters would be interviewing her at the hotel entrance then. Therefore, Kisa still had to do her makeup and style her hair before this. She closed her eyes and leaned into the seat. She allowed both the stylist and make¨Cup artist to take care of it for her. Yet her lips spoke to Lea, ¡°Lea, when we reach Athadale, don¡¯t go running off for no reason, you understand?¡± Lea was stunned. After a while, she quickly nodded, ¡°Mhm, I won¡¯t run off. I will be by your side at all times.¡± Kisa chuckled once and spoke seriously, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean it that way. It¡¯s just that Athadale is Anthony¡¯s territory. You also know I have a grudge against Anthony. I¡¯m scared that he would hurt the people close to me, so you shouldn¡¯t run around without any reason. Stay at the hotel well¨Cbehaved, alright?¡± Hearing her mention Anthony, Lea¡¯s heart harshly skipped simultaneously, a sh of regret and She pursed her lips, looking at the picture between Kisa and her on her phone. That was when Kisa had been super skinny, and she took a picture together with her. Kisa had truly changed a lot now. She had be so dazzling and also rather distant. If it was possible, she really did not want to betray her. However, when it came to the orders from that man, she was ultimately helpless to fight back. Kisa had some rest on the ne. When she woke up, the aircraft had already reached Athadale. Lea handed over the clothes she needed to change for when she would exit the aircraft. It was a tiny ck dress. A vest would apany it on the outside. Kisa finished changing into her outfit and then waited for another moment as the ne started tond. Just as the four of them departed from the ne, numerous reporters and media representatives surrounded them to take pictures. Around them were also bystanders taking their phones and taking pictures non¨Cstop. Kisa gave the audience a smile and a greeting. Then under the guidance of a squad of bodyguards, she got into the car that came to pick them up. The event organizer booked for them the best hotel in Athadale. Before half an hour came, the car stopped at the hotel entrance. Seeing the dark mass of swarming reporters, Kisa felt dread in her heart. This was the trouble of being a celebrity. The bodyguard stood in a line to open a path for Kisa. Lea shielded Kisa walking toward the hotel. Around them were not just the reporters but also many bystanders. This huge scene wasparable to the situation at the airport. Kisa walked toward the hotel lobby with difficulty. Suddenly, a few movie fans broke through the bodyguards¡® blockade and forced themselves toward Kisa, respectively. Kisa was on her stilettos. Under those few movie fans¡® enthusiastic shoving and pushing, her heel twisted, and her whole body immediately crashed to the ground awkwardly. Lea panicked and quickly called for the bodyguards. The scene instantly got messy. Kisa hissed in pain as a random person identally stepped on her hand. She tried to get up from the floor, but the scene was so rowdy that just as she got up, she was shoved down by someone again. ¡°Mr. Kooper came, Mr. Kooper came too¡­¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 816 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 816 Chapter 816 He Pretended To Not Know Her Suddenly, a high¨Cpitched shriek reverberated on the scene. Kisa¡¯s heart shivered. ¡®Was it Gilbert who came? Why did Gilberte to Athadale for no reason? He even went to the same hotel as I did. He¡¯s not following me, is he?¡¯ she wondered. Once Gilbert appeared, most media reporters scattered and flocked toward him. Many of the bystanders also started to crowd toward Gilbert. Only then did Kisa let out a sigh of relief. She elevated herself slightly and looked toward the entrance. With a single nce, she saw Gilbert surrounded by a crowd. His straight figure and handsome looks seemed particrly outstanding in the crowd. However, Kisa had clearly locked eyes with him, but Gilbert was still emotionless. The calm gaze even moved directly away from her figure. Gilbert had long legs, so his strides were huge. In a few steps, he hade over to her. The media reporters also rushed in troops to surround him. Kisa silently watched him. She did not expect him to not give her even a nce and directly walked past her. Lea also had an odd look on her face. She quickly got Kisa up and closed in by her ear. She softlyined, ¡± What¡¯s wrong with Mr. Kooper? Did he not see you? Why did he not acknowledge you at all?¡± Kisa rubbed the hand, still stinging from being stepped on, and said to her, ¡°Why would he want to acknowledge me? Am I on good terms with him?¡±Owned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Is it not? Mr. Kooper even looked for me the previous night to ask about your whereabouts. His expression then seemed very anxious,¡± Lea replied. Kisa¡¯s heart shook. Turns out that during the night she was ambushed by Sharon, Gilbert was searching for her like a maniac. ¡®No wonder, no wonder that morning, when she called Gilbert, the man was so angry,¡® Kisa thought. ¡°Kisa, I think Mr. Kooper still cares about you deeply. It¡¯s just unknown what¡¯s happened today. Why did he treat you so cold suddenly? He saw you fall to the ground and ignored you,¡± Lea smoothed out the clothes on her body while speaking in a quiet voice. Kisa smiled lightly, saying, ¡°That¡¯s just what you think.¡± After she finished speaking, she looked at Gilbert¡¯s silhouette, walking away. She found that it was hrious deep down. ¡®Gilbert¡¯s acting was actually quite good. Look, he acted like he didn¡¯t know me and acted quite like it seemed so,¡® she thought. Arriving in the room, Lea hurriedly arranged her luggage properly and then came to look at Kisa¡¯s hand. ¡°It¡¯s red from being stepped on. There are even some scrapes and cuts. Why don¡¯t I go and buy you some medication?¡± ¡°No need. It¡¯s just a small injury,¡± Kisa chuckled and pulled back her hand. She looked toward the towering buildings outside and asked Lea, ¡°How many days are we staying here?¡± ¡°You have a total of three events to attend to. One is a charity ball that you¡¯ll be participating in tonight. The next event is fashion week. It¡¯s on the day after tomorrow. Thest event is a jewelry sponsor event on the day right after that. Then we will leave the following day, so we will be staying here for a total of 4 days.¡± Kisa curled up in the sofa chair by the window. She closed her eyes while listening silently. Her expression seemed slightly exhausted. Lea gave her a nce and said, ¡°After participating in the event tonight, you can rest properly tomorrow.¡± ¡°Mmm,¡± Kisa nodded her head and spoke, ¡°You must be tired too. You should go back to your room to rest. Don¡¯t run around, okay?¡± ¡°Okay. Then, Kisa, I will go and get rest first. After that, I¡¯lle over to look for you. You should rest for a while too.¡± Kisa nodded her head while her eyes did not open at all. After waiting for Lea to go out, Kisa opened her eyes in a sh. She quickly searched through her phone and pressed Gilbert¡¯s number. She rushed for the ne early in the morning and then sat in a car. After that, epting the reporter¡¯s interviews. Kisa had only been able to look at her phone up until now. After the call was sent out, Kisa proceeded to lean onto the sofa chairzily and wait in silence. Remembering Gilbert¡¯s cold expression when trying to act as if not know her, she felt a slight urge to smile. Initially, she thought Gilbert would ept her call swiftly, but she did not expect that he would actually keep her waiting until the ringtone finished ying. He still did not pick up the call. She could not help but furrow her brows and call again. On this side, Gilbert let the phone¡¯s ringtone y non¨Cstop. His face had no reaction at all. His sharp gazended nonchntly on the person before him. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 817 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 817 Chapter 817 Not A Step Away In front of him was the assistant that Madam Kooper Sr. had gotten for him. His name was James Porter. Madam Kooper Sr. eximed that his job was demanding and knew he was on a business trip at Athadale this time, so she purposefully let Jamese along to take care of him. She said it was to take care of him, but Gilbert knew clearly in his mind that Madalyn was having James monitor him to confirm whether he and Kisa had genuinely broken up. Madalyn was adamant about separating Kisa from him. James was creeped out from the stare of Gilbert¡¯s gaze. He respectfully stood before Gilbert and spoke carefully to him, ¡°Mr. Kooper, your phone has been ringing for a while. You don¡¯t want to listen to it for a bit?¡± N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. ¡°There are numerous harassment calls these days. No need to care.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± James nodded and still felt ufortable. He did not dare to stand in front of Gilbert, but neither did he dare to sit down. He could only stiffen his body while standing there. Gilbert got up to sit by the window. James immediately followed him. Gilbert scrunched his brows slightly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem?¡± ¡°No problem, no problem. It¡¯s just that Madam Kooper Sr. ordered that I should take care of you and not take a step away from you while doing so. Since I have been paid by the madam, it is natural that I perform this duty properly.¡± Gilbert sneered out augh and looked at him yfully, ¡°Not a step away? By this saying, even at night, you want to stick close to me to sleep?¡¯ James¡® expression changed drastically, and he shook his head anxiously, ¡°No, no, no¡­ Mr. Kooper, you must truly be joking. I wouldn¡¯t dare stick close to you to sleep.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say not a step away?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± With his face filled with distress, James did not know what to say. Gilbert furrowed his brows in irritation, ¡°Fine, get out of here quickly. Don¡¯t interrupt my rest.¡± ¡°But Madam Kooper Sr. said¡­¡± ¡°But with you here, I can¡¯t rest. Are you following me here just to disturb my rest or take care of me, hm?¡± Seeing Gilbert¡¯s face shows a glint of anger. James, in the end, did not dare say anything and walked out in silence. Gilbert let out a sigh, speechless. He really had no idea how to handle his grandmother. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that this person had been sent by his grandmother, he would have made the man leave early on. But it was in to see; making Madalyn ept Kisa was nearly impossible. He really could not understand why Madalyn was so stubborn. The truth about the incidents that happened during those years was understood. Kisa actually did not do anything at all back then. He still could not understand why Madalyn hated Kisa so much. He irritatingly pulled at his tie and then pulled out his phone. The phone disyed Kisa¡¯s two missed calls. With a moment¡¯s hesitation, he immediately called back. Kisa was lying down on the bed, seeing if the incident of her taking revenge on Sharon was posted on the inte. Just as she was looking for some keywords, her phone rang. She nced at the disying caller ID, and the corner of her lips twitched upwards. After a while, she flipped over and tapped her finger on the answering button. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Gilbert¡¯s deep voice asked the most ordinary question ever. His tone had a sliver of pamperedness. Kisa chuckled. She twirled the corner of the sheets and said, ¡°Not doing anything, just thinking¡­ You acted like you did not know me just now. Your acting seemed quite real.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face fell. ¡®Is this woman being petty? ming me for ignoring her just now?¡® He thought. He exined, ¡°I did not act like I did not know you on purpose. You know as well due to my grandmother, the news about our reconciliation cannot be known by the media.¡± Kisa smiled but purposedly did not make any sound. Gilbert felt uneasy in his heart and softened his tone, ¡°Are you¡­angry?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 818 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 818 Chapter 818 Leave The Door Open For Him At Night ¡°Weren¡¯t you angry? I couldn¡¯t finish my sentence that early morning before you hung up my call. Then I sent a message to you, yet you still didn¡¯t reply. You even purposedly let grandma pick it up when I gave you a call?¡± Her voice held a little resentment. Gilbert exined himself in an unusually good temperament, ¡°I fell asleep that day. I didn¡¯t purposely not pick up your calls. Besides, I didn¡¯t hang up your call. After all, I was mad because I cared too much for you.¡± Kisa felt her heart sweeten as the smile on her face did not stop. Turns out the feeling of being pampered and sweet¨Ctalked by him felt very nice. She finally stopped teasing him and chuckled, ¡± Alright, I understand. You don¡¯t need to exin.¡± Pausing for a bit, Kisa looked at the gleaming sunshine out her windows before asking hesitantly, ¡°You¡­ Do you want toe over to my ce, or maybe we meet up somewhere¡­?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid. It¡¯s not possible,¡± Kisa¡¯s sentence could not finish as Gilbert immediately answered back in disappointment. Kisa¡¯s cheeks flushed hot in a sh. It almost felt that she was taking the initiative to confess or proim her feelings of yearning for him and then was cruelly rejected by a man. She immediately answered, ¡°Then it¡¯s fine. You should get some rest, okay? I¡¯m going to sleep too. I have to attend an event tonight.¡± ¡°No, wait up¡­¡± It seemed that he heard the disappointment and anger in her tone. Gilbert hurriedly exined, ¡°Of course I really want to meet up with you now. I wish that I could stick to you at all times. However, grandma sent a person to follow me by my side.¡± When Kisa heard the first half of his sentence, she chuckled secretly at Gilbert¡¯s speech grew more and more cheesy. When hearing thetter part of his sentence, her expression turned somber, and she furrowed her eyebrows. ¡°You are saying that Madam Kooper Sr. sent someone to monitor you?¡± Kisa guessed. Gilbert agreed with her, ¡°It seems that way, so I still cannot go and see you now to avoid being found out by Grandma.¡± Kisa nodded her head, ¡°It¡¯s fine. We will get a chance to meet up againter.¡± ¡°You¡¯re¡­ not angry?¡± Kisaughed hriously, ¡°What is there to be angry about? Aren¡¯t we treating this as if it¡¯s an affair just to please Madam Kooper Sr.? ¡°What affair? We are legitimate husband and wife!¡± Gilbert corrected her with a harsh tone. Kisa was tickled funny by the severe and stubborn tone in his voice. She nodded her head and said, ¡°Mhm, husband and wife that can never see the daylight!¡± Gilbert¡¯s face grew more and more stormy. He shouted at the phone in frustration,¡± Look at you. Always using these unpleasant words.¡± Kisa snickered, ¡°That¡¯s because the level of education I received is limited. Hence, I can¡¯t think of the right words.¡± Gilbert suddenly stopped speaking. Kisa spoke jokingly, ¡°That¡¯s alright, that¡¯s alright. I¡¯ll stop teasing you. You must be tired too, rushing here from Calthon. Rest for a bit,¡± Kisa said while preparing to hang up the call. Who knew Gilbert would suddenly ask this question seriously, ¡°Do you want to meet up tonight?¡± Kisa was stunned. After a moment, she held the phone and said tactfully, ¡°Let¡¯s forget about it. What if¡­¡± ¡°As long as you wish it, I¡¯ll try to think of a way.¡± ¡°Then do you want to meet up?¡± Kisa asked him back. Gilbert answered back without much thought, ¡°Of course, I want to. I just said I wanted to see you.¡± ¡°But I still need to attend an event tonight.¡± ¡°No worries, I will attend it tonight too.¡± ¡°You?¡± ¡°After the event ends, remember to leave the door open for me when youe back, ¡°Gilbert said with a hint of dubiousness. Kisa¡¯s face turned red, and she ignored him. ¡°It¡¯s a promise then, ¡± Gilbertughed mischievously as he hung up the phone. Kisa looked at the dimmed phone screen, silently cursing herself for being a good¨Cfor- nothing. ¡®It¡¯s just leaving the door open. What are you being all shy and embarrassed for?¡® Kisa thought to herself. The charity ball started in the evening at eight, and Kisa and Lea departed at half past seven.This content ?

Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 819 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 819 Chapter 819 Dazzling and Attractive Even though spring had arrived, the night was still a little cold. Kisa wore a purple tube¨Ctop grown. A small white jacket covered the outside. She had light makeup on, which made her seem elegant and noble. The number of people attending the charity ball was numerous, and Kisa was the ambassador of this charity. Once she showed up, she became the focus of the event. Regarding the major media outlets that took pictures with the odd and inquisitive stares from the audience, Kisa could already face them easily. She slowly walked into the banquet hall, her eyes ncing at everyone withposure, without even a hint of dodging them. Some of them smiled and greeted her, and she, too, greeted back politely. Hidden among the crowds was Gilbert, his dark eyes closely locked onto her body. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that Kisa was initially capable of being so dazzling and attractive too. Maybe, she initially was so outstanding and so radiant. However, due to the event in the past, she hid all her radiance from her. Gilbert stared at her with near obsession. In this vast banquet hall, it seemed she was the only human there while the other people would not meet his standards. While Kisa walked in not long ago, she saw Gilbert in the crowd. It seemed that he was not joking when he said it. He really came to attend this g. Her gaze fluttered from Gilbert¡¯s face hurriedly to another spot to avoid the media¡¯s suspicions. However, with just a casual swivel, her gaze suddenly locked onto a pair of cruel and cold eyes. She could not help but scrunch her eyebrows. The Mullen family was one of the finest and most influential families in Athadale, so the appearance of Anthony Mullen was not odd. But this man was cruel and cunning. Just from a nce, it was inevitable that he would affect the mood, especially with Gilbert at the banquet as well. She was sure that Anthony would purposely try to pick a fight with Gilbert. Indeed, what she feared ended up happening. She only saw Anthony holding a ss of red wine while walking toward Gilbert. Afraid that the media reporters would catch her gaze, Kisa did not dare to look in Gilbert¡¯s direction too frequently. Lea and Kisa walked to the dining table. Lea¡¯s gaze was still hovering over Anthony¡¯s figure and would not return for a long time. Kisa brought a ss of fruit juice for her. She noticed her gaze and could not Chapter 819 Dazzling and Attractive help but ask, ¡°What are you looking at?¡± 2/2 Lea suddenly came to her senses, and her heart panicked instantly. She took over the juice and smiled with an unnatural expression, ¡°I¡­ I wasn¡¯t looking at anything. It was just a little peculiar. Why would Gilbert participate in this event too?¡± ¡°Gilbert was a famous figure in this sector. Charity events like this usually would invite him, so it was not odd that he would be here.¡± ¡°Oh¡­,¡± Lea took a sip of the juice, then smiled at her, seeming nonchnt while speaking, ¡°I still thought Mr. Kooper came to participate in this event because of you. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Kisa furrowed her eyebrows slightly and looked at her slightly weirdly. Lea¡¯s heart panicked again, ¡± What¡¯s¡­ What¡¯s wrong, Kisa? What are you doing looking at me like that?¡± ¡°No,¡± Kisa chuckled a bit and smiled casually while saying, ¡°I just felt a little odd. Why would you always associate him and I together?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t purposely connect you and him together. It¡¯s just that both of you before, the two of you¡­¡± Lea was so flustered that she did not know what to say. Kisa jokingly patted her shoulder, ¡°Take it easy. I didn¡¯t mean anything else. I just find it a little strange.¡± Lea pursed her lips and immediately dared not speak of any nonsense. She felt that Kisa had changed and be more mysterious. Anthony walked to Gilbert¡¯s side and stopped promptly. He leaned back onto the huge dining table and gave a meaningful nce at Kisa. He teasingly said to Gilbert,¡± I just saw you looking at thatdy with a very impure expression. Why? Do you want to sleep with her?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 820 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 820 Chapter 820 Tricks ¡°Do you think everyone¡¯s thoughts are as dirty as yours?¡± Gilbert lowered his gaze and sneered. ¡°I don¡¯t care what other people think. I¡¯m only curious about what you were thinking when you were staring at that woman,¡± Anthony said with a yful smile on his face. Gilbert looked down and continued to drink, not paying any attention to Anthony. Things were different now. In the past, Gilbert did not take any action against this man because he was scared that he would hurt Kisa. Now, Kisa has obviously be stronger and more powerful. So, Gilbert was no longer afraid of Anthony, no matter how evil he was. Anthony snorted and looked at Kisa from top to bottom. ¡°Sigh, I didn¡¯t expect this woman to be so feminine after only a few days of not seeing each other,¡± he said with a sinister and yful tone. ¡°Look at that slender waist and beautiful ankles. She must be a treat in bed.¡± Gilbert remained silent and did not look up. He was filtering out Anthony¡¯s nasty remarks. Although he wanted to beat him up, he could not do so since they were in public. Anthony nced at Gilbert and could not help but frown when he saw that Gilbert was unfazed by his words. After some time, he sneered, ¡°It seems like you really Owned by N?velDrama.Org. aren¡¯t interested in that woman, huh?¡± Gilbert continued to ignore him. He came to the event tonight to see Kisa; he had no desire to get into an entanglement with Anthony. Anthony looked at Gilbert¡¯s indifferent side face and suddenlyughed sinisterly, ¡°I¡¯m d that you¡¯re not interested in that woman.¡± ¡°What does that mean?¡± Gilbert frowned, looking at him, and asked. ¡°Ah! It¡¯s nothing, really. I just wanted to ask that woman for a dance. You wouldn¡¯t mind that, would you, Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°Hah. Why would I care? The only concern here is whether she¡¯d agree to dance with you,¡± Gilbert chuckled as he walked away with his wine ss. Anthony stared at his back coldly, his heart full of ridicule. ¡®He¡¯s quite the actor,¡® he thought. ¡°Ms. Becker, I¡¯ve seen your show before. You look even more beautiful than on television.¡± ¡°I agree. I¡¯ve watched every episode of the show; Ms. Becker. And must I say, you¡¯re really good at acting.¡± Kisa was at the serving table, picking up some food when a few middle¨Caged CEOS came over and tried to strike up a conversation. She then smiled politely at them and said, ¡°It¡¯s an honor to hear that all of you took the time to watch my show when you¡¯re already so busy. ¡°Ha¨Cha. It¡¯s mainly because you¡¯re a good actor, Ms. Becker. I don¡¯t watch much drama shows, but I watched yours.¡± Several CEOs were surrounding her, talking enthusiastically. Kisa pursed her lips and chuckled, ¡°I see. Do you gentlemen still remember which role I yed?¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± ¡°You yed a strong and powerful woman, an urban woman.¡± ¡°That¡¯s nonsense. She obviously yed a pure and harmless little girl.¡± ¡°No, she was a concubine, the emperor¡¯s concubine, to be exact; the kind whopetes for favor in the harem.¡± The CEOs discussed among themselves, but none of them got it right. Even Lea felt the second¨Chand embarrassment from their answers. ¡°It seems like all of you were so busy that no one remembered my role in the show. Since you¡¯re so busy, will you please excuse me?¡± Kisa sneered. As she said that, she hurriedly dragged Lea away from the crowd. It was obvious to Kisa why they had decided to strike up a conversation with her.¡® They¡¯re trying to use their money to befriend me and make me their woman,¡¯ she thought to herself. Kisa knew about their little trick. She only took a few steps forward when a man stopped in front of her and Lea. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 821 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 821 Chapter 821 I Would Have Treated You Better Anthony stood in front of Kisa and Lea. When Lea saw that it was him, she lowered her head subconsciously. Kisa nced at her strangely and turned to Anthony,¡± What¡¯s this? Why are you blocking my path, Mr. Mullen?¡± Coincidentally, the CEOS started to gather around them. ¡°Yeah, why are you standing in her way?¡± ¡°Even if you want to talk to Ms. Becker, this is not the way. You¡¯d frighten her.¡± Anthony snorted coldly and looked at the middle¨Caged men contemptuously as he said, ¡°Want to be with a star? That depends on whether you have the assets to do so. There are many rich men in this world, but not many are attractive and have a good figure. Look at you all with your fat heads and big bellies. Don¡¯t you think that you¡¯re the ones who are scaring her?¡± Anthony¡¯s harsh words made each of the CEOs¡® faces turn red. Kisa wanted tough, but she held back. ¡°Keep yourself in check, Mullen. Do you think we¡¯re afraid just because you¡¯re from a powerful family?¡± ¡°Yeah. You¡¯re the most unpromising one in the Mullen family. Stop acting so high up.¡± In an instant, Anthony narrowed his eyes coldly. He looked at the person who uttered those words and said, ¡°I dare you to say that again.¡± This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Although the CEOs were not intimidated by him, they did not dare to provoke the Mullen family. Seeing his gloomy and ruthless expression, they looked at each other and walked away, cursing. As soon as they left, Anthony looked at Kisa with a wicked grin and said, ¡°What a coincidence that you¡¯re here at this charity event.¡± ¡°I¡¯m the one who should be saying that,¡± Kisa replied, smiling sarcastically. Seeing the coldness on Kisa¡¯s face, the corners of Anthony¡¯s lips curled as he said, ¡± What? Aren¡¯t you going to thank me for helping you get rid of the crowd?¡± ¡°There wouldn¡¯t have been a crowd if you didn¡¯t get in my way.¡± After saying that, Kisa pulled Lea aside and continued to walk from the side. However, Anthony stood in front of them once again. Kisa frowned. ¡°Mr. Mullen, this is a public space; what are you trying to do? Don¡¯t forget that there are many media reporters around,¡± she sneered. ¡°Ha¨Cha. Look at yourself; you¡¯re so nervous, and for what? I¡¯m just here to ask you to dance.¡± ¡°Dance?¡± Kisa stared at the man in front of her cautiously and asked. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve forgotten our previous vendetta, Mr. Mullen. How are you still interested in inviting me to dance?¡± ¡°I was blind to have not seen your beauty. Tsk. I would have treated you better if I knew you cleaned up well,¡± Anthony said in a superficial manner. Lea could not help but look at him as an imperceptible hint of disappointment shed in her eyes. Kisa stared at Anthony coldly and sneered, ¡°Unfortunately, I can¡¯t get over the fact that you wanted to kill me. So I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll take you up for that dance.¡± ¡°What if I insist?¡± Anthony snorted coldly; his smile instantly turned glum and vicious. Kisa frowned. She took a step back and said, ¡°You can try as long as you¡¯re not afraid that your little scandal will reach your family.¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m not. After all, they¡¯ve already heard a lot of my scandals,¡± Anthonyughed wildly and stretched out his arm to grab Kisa¡¯s wrist. Seeing this, Lea quickly stopped him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t touch her.¡± ¡°Get out of the way!¡± Anthony made a huge gesture with his hands, and Lea was thrown to the ground in an instant. This scene instantly attracted the attention of journalists and reporters from various media outlets. People started to move closer around them. With his hands in his pockets and a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Anthonyughed casually and said, ¡°Oh, everyone is here just in time. I want to hear your thoughts.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 822 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 822 Chapter 822 Every Move Is An Act Kisa ignored Anthony and knelt down to help Lea up. Anthony nced at Kisa contemptuously. He then changed his expression to be sad as he pointed at Kisa and said to the crowd, ¡°This woman was using her beauty against me. She kept winking at me, but when I came over and asked for a dance, she arrogantly rejected my invitation. How could she y with my feelings like that? How could she hint me toe over but refuse to dance with me? Don¡¯t you guys think that she¡¯s out of line?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like that,¡± Lea voiced out, seeming like she had something else to say. However, she immediately shut her mouth after Anthony red at her fiercely. The crowd started to burst into voices of discussion as journalists took pictures of Kisa and Anthony. Kisa tried her best to remain calm in that situation and looked at Anthony with no apparent expression on her face. ¡°Mr. Mullen, what kind of nonsense are you spewing? With your status, I would feel honored if you invited me to dance. But the thing is, you didn¡¯t ask. You just kept standing in my way. My assistant tried to reason with you, but you pushed her to the ground. Tell me, who¡¯s the one who is out of line?¡± Kisa said with a wronged look on her face. Anthonyughed angrily when he saw that she was pretending to be innocent. Wow. Just wow. As an A¨Clist actor, every smile and frown on your face, every move you make, it¡¯s all an act, huh?¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha. Is that an insult or apliment, Mr. Mullen?¡± This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Anthony grinned grimly and snorted, ¡°Since you said you would be honored if I invited you to dance, let¡¯s dance so that everyone can enjoy your dancing skills.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡®Is this dance really inevitable?¡® she thought. Just as she was thinking of a way to reject him, amotion broke out at the entrance of the event. Suddenly, everyone started looking toward the door. Throug the gaps in the crowd, Kisa saw an old man with a stern expression and an extraordinary temperament, surrounded by a row of bodyguards as he walked in. Th old man had a childlike face, making people unable to guess his exact age. As so as he entered the hall, everyone quieted down, which was enough to show that t man was of high status. Moreover, Kisa noticed that Anthony¡¯s face turned pale and green after the old m entered the room. The arrogant and evil expression he had was no longer there. Kisa could not help but suspect that the old man was someone from the Mullen family. ¡®It¡¯s said that the only person that Anthony Mullen fears is the highly respected Mr. Mullen Sr. Could this old man be Mr. Mullen Sr.?¡® The old man walked over to them when Kisa was still in her thoughts. He had a ruddyplexion, and hisposure was steady. ¡°Dad¡­¡± As soon as the old man came over, Anthony called out to him with respect. However, when he finished his words¡­ SLAP! The old man raised his hand and gave Anthony a p across the face. ¡°Go back home right now, you disgrace.¡± Anthony clenched his hands. At that moment, his already sinister and gloomy expression looked even more terrifying. But he did not dare to disobey Mr. Mullen Sr., so he just gave Kisa a stern look and followed the Mullen family out of the room. Following their leave, the event venue began to fill up with whispers and discussions about the Mullen family. After all, they were always the top talk of the town in Athadale. The charity event continued to run smoothly and ended at 11:00 p.m. after Anthony left. It was almost 12:00 a.m. when Kisa returned to the hotel. When she entered the room and closed the door, she suddenly remembered Gilbert telling her to leave the door open for him. She thought about it for a short while and decided to leave the food ajar without locking it. The two floors they lived on were guarded by many bodyguards, so she was not afraid of people breaking into the room. Kisa then went to the bathroom to change into somefortable clothes and sat on the sofa by the window. Maybe it was because she was tired or because it waste; Kisa nestled on the sofa and fell asleep after some time. As she was sleeping, she vaguely felt a hot breath blowing on her face. She opened her eyes in a daze and was so shocked that she jumped off the sofa when she saw what was in front of her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 823 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 823 Chapter 823 Became a Big-faced Monster Gilbert stepped back and sat opposite Kisa. ¡°Am I that scary?¡± He asked when he saw the terrified expression on her face. Kisa patted her chest and said angrily, ¡°No matter how handsome that face of yours is, it¡¯s still going to be scary when you¡¯re so close up in my face. Plus, all I saw when I opened my eyes was a huge face in front of me. Don¡¯t tell me that¡¯s not scary.¡± The handsome guy was suddenly called a big¨Cfaced monster. Gilbert was speechless. Kisa took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat back on the sofa. She then picked up her phone on the side table and saw that it was already 2:00 a.m. She looked at the man in front of her and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you sleep?¡± ¡°I slept during the day, and now I can¡¯t fall asleep.¡± As Gilbert said that, he gave Kisa a flirtatious smile. ¡°Besides, I said I¡¯de to see you.¡± Kisa did not see the flirtatious look on his face. She lowered her head and scrolled her phone, pretending to be unconcerned. Gilbert stared at her without blinking, enjoying the quiet time together. However, Kisa could not continue scrolling her phone, knowing that Gilbert was staring at her. Suddenly, Kisa recalled that Madalyn had sent someone to spy on Gilbert, so she hurriedly asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that grandma sent someone to stalk you? If you¡¯reing here, won¡¯t ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I have it all settled.¡± Kisa was stunned. ¡°What do you mean you ¡®have it all settled¡®?¡± Gilbert smiled mysteriously. ¡°I¡¯ll tell youter. Or maybe¡­ Kelvin would tell you.¡± This statement made Kisa even more puzzled. ¡®Since when was Kelvin involved in this?¡® she wondered Gilbert did not say much about it. Instead, he took the band¨Caid he had just bought and walked toward Kisa. He had noticed the red and swollen scrape on the back of her hand. He opened the band¨Caid and carefully pasted it onto her injury. ¡°Does it still hurt?¡± He asked. Kisa stared at him for a moment; she never thought this man could be so considerate, especially toward her. ¡®This is so unreal. It feels like a dream.¡® Seeing that she had not spoken for a while, Gilbert could not help but look up at her. Kisa came back to her senses and quickly shook her head. ¡°No, it doesn¡¯t hurt anymore. It¡¯s just a small scratch. I¡¯m not that dramatic,¡± she said as she tried to withdraw her hand; but Gilbert grabbed it and squeezed it tightly. ¡°You¡¯re not melodramatic. No, not at all.¡± ¡°Oh, so when you didn¡¯t care, I was pretentious and melodramatic no matter how big my injuries were. But now that you do care, I¡¯m not those things anymore, no matter how much I whine about my minor injuries?¡± Gilbert could not help butugh when he heard those words. He patted her head and said, ¡°What are you talking about? That¡¯s so weird.¡± ¡°Nothing,¡± Kisa lowered her eyes and replied, thinking about the past. Gilbert checked her hands to make sure that there were no other injuries and continued to ask, ¡°Were you okay at the event just now?¡± Kisa nced at him and said, ¡°You know about the thing that happened between Anthony and me?¡± She thought he had already left at that time because she could not find him. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have called Mr. Mullen Sr. if I didn¡¯t know about what happened, would I?¡± Gilbert sneered. Kisa was, yet again, surprised. ¡°You called Mr. Mullen Sr.? I thought you guys didn¡¯t get along. Why would he listen to you and show up at the event?¡± N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. ¡°I told him Anthony was flirting around with female celebrities at the charity ball and was making all sorts of trouble. The only way to stop Anthony from ruining the reputation of the Mullen family was for Mr. Mullen Sr. to go and get him out of there. Mr. Mullen Sr. is someone who cares a lot about their family name and reputation; so he rushed over as soon as he heard what I said.¡± Kisa nodded knowingly since she wondered why Mr. Mullen Sr. would have suddenly appeared at the ball. At that moment, an ill¨Ctimed sound rang out¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 824 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 824 Chapter 824 How¡¯d You Know It Was Me? Gilbert looked down at her t stomach and grinned. ¡°Mm? Are you hungry?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t eat anything at the ball just now.¡± Kisa looked away, a little embarrassed; her stomach was growling loudly. Rumble, rumble. Gilbert smiled and pulled her up as he said, ¡°Come on. I¡¯ll take you out for some food.¡± ¡°Right now?¡± Kisa looked outside. ¡°It¡¯s sote; is anything open at this hour of the night?¡± ¡°We can go look,¡± Gilbert replied. ¡°But¡­ I¡¯m scared of the person that your grandma sent¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to be afraid. That person probably thinks I¡¯m still sleeping in my room.¡± Gilbert smiled and proceeded to put on his hat and mask. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you downstairs. Go get ready ande down after you¡¯re done, okay?¡± Kisa nodded, wanting to grab some supper. Kisa had brought several sets of clothes on this trip. She picked out a hoodie and put it on. She then tied her hair into two braids, put on a mask, and pulled the hood of her sweatshirt onto her head. After that, Kisa looked into the mirror. The only thing visible from her look was her eyes; it was impossible for others to tell who she was. The night air was a little chilly, but it was not cold. Kisa put one of her hands into the pocket of her hoodie while she held her phone in her other hand, looking around at the entrance. She did not know where Gilbert was hiding, waiting for her. She looked around for a minute or so but still did not see the man. Just as she was about to call him, a taxi appeared in front of her. Kisa froze for a moment, bent over, and looked into the car. ¡°What are you looking at? Come in,¡± the man in the backseat of the taxi chuckled. Kisa recognized it as Gilbert¡¯s voice. She quickly got into the vehicle. ¡°How¡¯d you know it was me?¡± She had stared at the mirror for a long time before she came downstairs. No one could have recognized her fully covered look, especially since it was dark out. Gilbert took her cold hand and held it in his palm. ¡°No matter what you be, I¡¯ll always recognize you,¡± he said with a smile. The man¡¯s hand was warm. Kisa¡¯s hands quickly heated up in his palm, so much so that the warmth spread all the way into her heart. She never thought that Gilbert Chapter 824 How d You Know It Was Me¡® could be so gentle and considerate toward her. It was something she had never even dared to dream about. But now that it is happening, Kisa inevitably felt that it was unreal, like a memorable dream. As soon as they left the hotel, there was a knock on Gilbert¡¯s door. James boldly knocked on the door several times. After a long time, the door slowly opened. The lights in the room were not turned on, and there was only a faint yellow light on in the corridor. The dim light could not clearly illuminate the face of the person who opened the door. Furthermore, the person who opened the door had his head lowered, his bangs covering his forehead. The person then covered his mouth with his hand as he yawned, covering up most of his face. James stood outside the door, trembling. ¡°Mr. Kooper? Are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat?¡± ¡°You woke me up at three in the morning just to ask me if I was hungry? Are you crazy? Get lost!¡± The man growled sullenly, closing the door behind him. James was so frightened that he froze. After quite some time, he let out a sigh of relief. He turned around and walked into his room, taking out his phone to call Madalyn. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mrs. Kooper Sr. Mr. Kooper is sleeping soundly right here at the hotel.¡± ¡°1 ¡°No, he didn¡¯t meet up with Ms. Becker. The two didn¡¯t even say hello.¡± ¡°Alright. Don¡¯t worry. I will take good care of Mr. Kooper.¡± In Gilbert¡¯s room, Kelvin leaned against the door with a gloomy expression on his face. He quickly took out his phone and angrily dialed a number.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

He took out the phone and nced at it. Then he hung up immediately. Kisa looked at him in bewilderment. ¡°Why don¡¯t you answer the call? What if Kelvin wants to speak to you urgently?¡± ¡°He wants to scold me. I¡¯m stupid if I pick it up.¡± Kisaughed, ¡°How do you know he¡¯s calling to scold you?¡± Her phone rang right after asking. She nced down at the phone screen, then looked at Gilbert in surprise, ¡°He¡­¡± ¡°You can answer the call if you don¡¯t believe he wants to scold me.¡± Kisa picked up the call doubtfully and turned the speaker on.

Kelvin was still yelling over the phone. It seemed he was pretty angry. Kisa handed the phone to Gilbert and signaled him tofort Kelvin. Unexpectedly, Gilbert ignored Kelvin and took her straight to a small alley nearby. Kisa smiled, feeling speechless. ¡®It¡¯s pretty unlucky to have a buddy like Gilbert.¡® While Kelvin took a break, Kisa smiled awkwardly at the phone and said, ¡°Hey, don¡¯t be mad. I¡¯ll ask Gilbert to bring you supper.¡± ¡°What? Did you guys strand me here and have supper outside? Grrr! Why? Gilbert! You¡¯re a liar! You said Ie over for fun, but in the end, you made me your substitute in the hotel. You¡¯re a liar! Grrr¡­¡± Gilbert thought Kelvin was noisy, so he hung up the phone. Kisa sneered, ¡°Don¡¯t you worry. He will fight with you after you get back?¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t have the guts. He¡¯ll only yell loudly.¡± Kisa was amused. Sheughed and said, ¡°Bring him some supperter to appease him. I guess it¡¯s hard for him to be your substitute. He was being woken up at midnight.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Gilbert nodded, but his heart was a little heavy. ¡®As I thought, grandma was preventing me from meeting Kisa constantly. Even though Kisa and I have hidden it, grandma is still worried. It seems it¡¯s tough for grandma topromise. But I can¡¯t always sacrifice Kisa. I want to hold her hand in front of everyone and tell them loudly that she is my only wife instead of meeting her secretly like this. I even have to suit up to hide.¡® Gilbert looked at the woman beside him with a hint of guilt in his eyes unconsciously. Sensing his gaze, Kisa could not help but look at him, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Gilbert smiled and shook his head, ¡°Nothing. I¡¯m just thinking about what to eatter.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s check it out. We eat whatever is avable.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Gilbert nodded. He did not tell her what troubled his mind. He was afraid she would give up their rtionship because of Madalyn. It was what he was most afraid of and could not even think of. After Gilbert led her forward awhile, a bustling street appeared in front of them. At a nce, the street was full of food stalls and people. It was so lively.

The staff handed over the menu soon after they sat down. Kisa looked around. There were many people in the store. She could not help but feel a little worried. She leaned close to Gilbert¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°There are so many people here. It¡¯s inconvenient for us to eat here. What if someone recognizes us and takes photos?¡± Gilbert pondered for a moment and said, ¡°How about take away?¡± Kisa nodded hurriedly, ¡°I saw a river beside the road when we got out of the car. Let¡¯s go thereter.¡± Gilbert nodded and turned his gaze back to the menu. He ordered a lot of food. All the dishes were well¨Cpacked after waiting for almost an hour. As Kisa said, there was really a small river beside the road. At this moment, it was empty by the river, and even the street lights were dim. There was a row of green nts between the riverbank and the road. They sat on the long wooden bench on the bank, which was not visible to the people on the road. Only then did Kisa take off her mask with confidence and breathefortably. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. Gilbert lifted the lids of the food containers and arranged them. Kisa could not wait to pick up two skewers of kebab and eat. Gilbert nced at her greedy face and said amusedly, ¡°You like to eat these. Don¡¯t you remember the gastroenteritis you hadst time?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t eat it often. Let¡¯s eat. I¡¯m starving to death,¡± Kisa said and took another skewer without hesitation. Gilbert did not move, leaning on the back of the chair and watching her eat. He felt watching her eat was sweet and satisfying. ¡°Eat slowly. No one will take it away from you,¡± He could not help butugh when seeing her choked. He reached out to hand her the drink. Kisa picked it up, took a gulp, and said, ¡°I¡¯m too hungry. I didn¡¯t eat anything yesterday.¡± Gilbert handed her a bowl of stir¨Cfried pasta, ¡°Eat slowly. It¡¯s bad for your stomach if you eat too fast.¡± Kisa felt a little full after taking a few sips of the drink. She took over the stir¨Cfried pasta, leaned back on the back of the chair, and looked at the sparkling river. Suddenly, she said, ¡°Gilbert, actually, I think we are pretty good now.¡± Gilbert was peeling the lobster for her. He asked subconsciously when he suddenly heard her words, ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Kisa smiled at him suddenly, ¡°I¡¯m enjoying a furtive date with you.¡± Gilbert gave her an angry look immediately said, ¡°Which woman will enjoy a furtive date? Your thought has some issue.¡± ¡°No, I think this is good. Our date is quiet, and with just two of us,¡± Kisa kept saying while eating the stir¨Cfried pasta. Gilbert put the peeled lobster into her bowl, looked at the moonlight cast in the river, and said in a muffled voice, ¡°I won¡¯t let us keep hiding in this way. I¡¯ll find a way on my grandma¡¯s side.¡± The man¡¯s eyes were firm. Kisa nced at him but said nothing. A man¡¯s feet were cuffed with a chain, and the other end of the chain was nailed to the wall in the cold basement. Adrien walked in with two bodyguards. The bodyguards held much delicious food in his hand. The smell of food filled in the air of the basement. It caused the man to drool instantly. The two bodyguards put the food on the table and uncuffed the man. The man looked at Adrien in shock, ¡°This is¡­?¡± ¡°Eat it!¡± Adrien smiled at him and gave him a signal to eat the food on the table. But even though the man really wanted to enjoy the feast, he was afraid that those foods were poisonous. ¡°A¨CAre you here to kill me?¡± ¡°Hahaha,¡± Adrienughed suddenly. ¡°Would I save you and keep you until now if I want to kill you?¡± The man hesitated for two seconds after hearing this. Finally, the man threw himself on the table, picked up a roast chicken, and ate it hungrily. Adrien sat aside and smoked slowly. He said to the man after the cigarette burned out¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 827 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 827 Chapter 827 The Man Who Hid for Six Years ¡°Take good care of your health these days.

He looked at Adrien in wonder and a little uneasy, ¡°Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden? You¡­¡± ¡°Well, when did I treat you badly? You might be dead many times if I didn¡¯t hide you here.¡± The man pursed his lips and remained silent. Suddenly, Adrien got up and smiled at him, ¡°Don¡¯t overthink it.

He asked Adrien softly, ¡°Is something big going ontely?¡± N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. ¡°Ha¨Cha¡­ Something big?¡± Adrien smiled meaningfully at him, ¡°There¡¯s nothing big, but it¡¯s your turn to show up based on my n.¡± The man looked confused.

I¡¯ll definitely set you free and eliminate the threat you have always been afraid of as long as you do this for me.¡± The man nodded quickly, ¡°I¡¯ll do my best when you need me to do something.¡± Adrien¡¯s lips twitched with a sneer. Then he lit a cigarette and strode out. There was a stair outside the basement. There was a door up the stairs, which opened into the yard of the vi. ¡®This is my most private vi in Raworth. That¡¯s why nobody noticed that man was imprisoned by me for six years. Even Jensen didn¡¯t know the presence of this man.¡® Adrien walked into the yard and looked at the chill moonlight. His face was full of a sneer that revenge was about to seed. Gilbert wanted to stay longer with Kisa. So, they did not take a taxi when they went back but walked back slowly along the navigation. Gilbert held her hand tightly and was reluctant to let go along the way. Besides, he was very caring and kept protecting her all the way. Kisa looked at him regrly and always felt he was full of charms in this way. She kept feeling he was a different person now when thinking about their past. The gloomy and ruthless Gilbert from before has completely disappeared. He was a gentle and caring boyfriend now. Kisa stared at his profile. The more she looked at him, the more attractive he was. Sensing her gaze, Gilbert could not help but look at her, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Kisa turned her gaze elsewhere hurriedly. As she was in a good mood, the corners of her lips were always drawn up slightly, and her eyes looked extraordinarily bright. Suddenly, Gilbert grabbed her. Kisa was stunned and turned to look at him, ¡°What¡¯s¡­ Um!¡± Gilbert blocked her lips immediately and kissed her gently before she finished. He let go of her hand and wrapped his arms around her waist. Kisa was startled at first, then reacted quickly. She put her arms around his thin waist and responded to his kiss enthusiastically. His kiss was no longer as domineering and overbearing as before but revealed a gentle and affectionate. Gilbert¡¯s heart trembled when he felt the woman¡¯s response. He hugged her more tenderly as if he wanted to give all his tenderness to this woman. Kisa was weak at kissing as she did not seem to be able to breathe. She felt she could not breathe, and her whole body lost support after a short kiss. She leaned feebly in the man¡¯s arms. Gilbert let her go when her breathing was getting heavier obviously. Looked at her watery eyes, and his eye turned extremely dark instantly. He stared at the woman in his arms deeply, and his voice hoarse to the extreme, ¡°I really want to deal with you here.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 828 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 828 Chapter 828 Someone With the Same Name Gilbert voiced with gritted his teeth. The unbearable desire fell on the woman¡¯s neck along with the heat. Kisa was kissed badly by him until she felt dizzy. She would have fallen to the ground long ago if he had not waisted her tightly. Kisa cursed herself in her heart that she was the loser who could never resist his kiss. She took a minute to catch her breath, and her mind sobered up slowly. Unexpectedly, the man hugged her even tighter with force on his arm when she was about to retreat from his embrace. ¡°Don¡¯t move. Let me hug for a while.¡± The man¡¯s gentle and hoarse voice seemed to have magical power. Kisa leaned obediently in his arms for an instant without moving. Her watery eyes looked around the street and thought, ¡®Luckily nobody is on the road. Otherwise, I¡¯ll feel embarrassed if others see we hugged each other lovey¨Cdovey.¡® Gilbert pressed his chin against the top of her clean hair and murmured, ¡°Why was I so stupid before?¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha! You are not only stupid but also blind to the truth!¡± Kisa teased him yfully as she thought he was talking for fun. She did not expect the man got serious. ¡°Yes.

I don¡¯t me you. Just take it as a catastrophe in our life.¡± Gilbert was silent suddenly. He asked her again after a long time, ¡°Kisa, can you answer me one question?¡± Kisa got up slightly from his arms. She looked at him and nodded, ¡°Go ahead.¡± Recalling the scene where she and Jensen had a conversation under the tree when young, Gilbert asked tentatively, ¡°Can¡­ you tell me why you always pester and please me when you were young? Didn¡¯t you love Jensen at that time¡­?¡± ¡°It¡¯s because of my mom,¡± Kisa said seriously in an instant before Gilbert finished. Gilbert was startled and frowned confusedly, ¡°Because of your mom?¡± ¡°Yes. Before my mom passed, she asked me to protect a person named Gilbert Kooper with my life. So, I always tried to please you after I knew you were Gilbert. But you seemed to dislike my please.¡± Kisa felt a little disappointed when mentioning this. Gilbert was full of doubts in his mind. ¡°Why did your mom make that request to you. at herst moment? Your mom didn¡¯t seem to know me at that time.¡± Kisa was also full of doubts. She shook her head, ¡°I¡¯m unsure about that too. Actually¡­ you can try to ask your grandma after you be back.

He was introduced in the first few articles, and many people with the same name and surname as him appearedter. There were elders, uncles over 50, men about his age, and even kids with this name. Many people named ¡®Gilbert Kooper¡®, and it appeared in almost every age group. The more Gilbert checked, the more irritable he became. Was the ¡®Gilbert Kooper¡® from Kisa¡¯s mom referred to him?

Looking at the man pulling his hair in frustration, Kelvin curiously walked toward him with a kebab in hand. He stared down and looked at his phone. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± A short whileter, he chuckled, ¡°Why are you searching for people with the same name as you? Would they possibly have greater achievements than you?¡± Gilbert¡¯s eyes darted up, and said solemnly, ¡°What if I said the sole reason for Kisa¡¯s involvement with me was because of my name?¡± Kelvin got caught up in his question. ¡°W¨CWhat does that even mean?¡± ¡°In other words, she stayed with me because of the name, Gilbert Kooper.¡± Kelvin analyzed the sentence and frowned upon Gilbert. ¡°Aren¡¯t you toocking in confidence? You¡¯re afraid she fell in love with your name but not you? I mean you can just ask her about it.¡± ¡°No¡­ It¡¯s just¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s just what?¡± Kelvin shot him a curious nce. Gilbert shook his head, feeling agitated. ¡°Forget it. You won¡¯t get it.¡± Kelvin rolled his eyes, ¡®Is he joking about my intelligence? How could I understand anything when he didn¡¯t say a word?¡® Kisa slept soundly for the entire morning. In the afternoon, Lea came looking for her. The fashion week starts at three in the afternoon, taking ce at the busiest spot in Athadale, the central square. Kisa would not be the only one attending, there would be many well¨Cknown artists showing up as well. Usually, Sharon would be present at these important events, but she has been almost inactive since she left GK Pictures. Thinking about Sharon, Kisa recalled the day she taught her a lesson. The Case family seemed to have forgotten this incident, as they did not cause any trouble. It appears that Gilbert was behind it after all. At first, Kisa thought Gilbert let J & K Film Group¡¯s PR department settle that incident, but Gilbert said the PR department only handled a portion of the information. It turns out that GK Pictures¡¯s PR department was the one who took care of the mess. Gilbert was really always looking out for and protecting her. She could not help herself but let out a smile, feeling sweet. Kisa¡¯s heart was prone to a hint of silent worry and fear as the sweeter and happier she felt these days. She feared that all these good times were only a dream. She even had a nightmare two days ago. She dreamed that the consideration and love Gilbert gave her these days were all to delude her. In her dream, she cried out her heart and hated his guts. She then took a knife, wanting to perish together with him. When Kisa woke up, she was in tears, and her eyes were wet. She got petrified by that dream for a really long time before she was able to get over it. Deep down in her heart, she was still afraid that this was merely the man¡¯s silken snare. Kisa had to constantly remind herself not to sink too deep into his tenderness. But it was getting hard for Kisa to keep a cool head with Gilbert being so loving and thoughtful to her. Lea walked toward her with the dress she was going to wear to the event. She saw Kisa zoning out at the window and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Kisa? You don¡¯t look so well.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Kisa shook her head, took the dress from Lea, and went straight to the bathroom to change. ¡®Maybe I¡¯m just being emotional. Hopefully, there¡¯s nothing wrong with Gilbert.¡® Fashion week has high standards for the outfits worn by the artists. The event organizer sent her a haute couture dress, and the dress was custom¨Cmade for her. Kisa¡¯s whole aura changed after she wore it. Lea and both the stylists were thunderstruck when they saw Kisa walk out of the bathroom. Her waist appeared extremely slim thanks to the haute couture, a ck bandeau design with a puffy lower hem. The pure ck tone sets off her whiteplexion perfectly. The stylist put her in a high bun. The bun looked simple, but it made Kisa have ss and charisma. Kisa normally wore light makeup, but the stylist had heavy makeup on her today. The scarlet red lipstick matched exceptionally well with her ck dress. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Lea¡¯s eyes went round. ¡°You absolutely transformed into another person, Kisa! I couldn¡¯t even recognize you.¡± Kisa concurred that it was quite a difference with the dress on her when she looked in the mirror. Her appearance now would stun Gilbert too, let alone Lea who said she could not recognize her. Speaking of the devil, Kisa ran into Gilbert when she went out. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 831 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 831 Chapter 831 Hook Her Fingers Gilbert was waiting for the elevator when Kisa approached. The elevator was still not up, so Gilbert looked straight and stared at the number screen. He did not take a single nce at Kisa. Kisa did not greet him and just stood by his side in front of the elevator. The atmosphere was slightly awkward as they ignored each other. Lea studied and perceived the strangeness between them but could not describe what caused the strangeness between them. Yet one had to admit; they were a perfect couple, a match made in heaven. James eyed Kisa constantly, his face covered in doubt. ¡®Miss Becker is such a beauty. Why won¡¯t Mrs. Kooper Sr. let Mr. Koopere in contact with her?¡® James thought to himself. He could not help but cast another nce at Kisa. The more he looked at Kisa, the more attractive and elegant Kisa seemed. The elevator door opened with a ¡®ding¡®, and the crowd apanying them stood still, anticipating the duo to enter the elevator before them. Yet both Kisa and Gilbert stood still, unmoving. Afraid that the elevator door might close, James hurriedly pressed the open button and smiled at Gilbert, ¡°Mr. Kooper, you should get inside.¡± ¡°Ladies first,¡± Gilbert nced at Kisa with a gentlemanly smile. The look he gave her was anything but innocent. Without demur, Kisa held her dress and walked into the elevator. She walked into the elevator¡¯s corner, turned around, and stood there with a serious face. Gilbert looked at her, walked in, and stood beside her. After Gilbert and Kisa had both gotten into the elevator, only did the others enter. The crowd crammed themselves to the front of the upied elevator, not daring to get close to those two. Due to the crowd squeezing to the front, Lea and the girls quarreled with Gilbert¡¯s subordinates. Gilbert stared down, smiling, his fingers unnoticeably hooked onto Kisa¡¯s fingers. Kisa trembled and looked in his direction with knotted brows. But she only saw the man seriously staring at his phone screen. ¡®Tsk, this man is really good at pretending, ¡®Kisa thought. Gilbert hooked Kisa¡¯s finger again since the people in front were not paying attention to them. This time, Kisa¡¯s eyes sparked with a hint of wryness. When Gilbert was about to withdraw his hand, Kisa held onto his and pinched the back of his hand hard. He frowned slightly and gave her a warning re. Kisa stifled herughter and looked at him provocatively. At this moment, the elevator door opened again. The people in the front rushed to get out. When the crowd turned their attention to Gilbert and Kisa, they recovered their air of indifference and did not disturb each other. As Kisa walked out of the elevator, she lifted her dress and held her head high. The aura and charisma she gave off were iparable. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. James had his eyes glued on Kisa, unable to avert his stare. Gilbert¡¯s face, having been fixated on Kisa¡¯s back for a while, darkened the more he looked. Suddenly, he felt a little hot as he pulled his tie and strode out. Upon seeing James, who had his eyes fixated on Kisa, Gilbert snorted at him, ¡°Why don¡¯t you be her assistant? You.can look at her every day that way.¡± James instantly came to his senses and shook his head in embarrassment. ¡°Stop messing with me, Mr. Kooper. I think Miss Becker has unmatched charisma. I can¡¯t help but look at her.¡± Gilbert let out a cold snort and walked outside. ¡®That goes without saying, of course. My woman has unquestionable charisma.¡® Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 832 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 832 Chapter 832 A Fairly Conservative Person Kisa and Gilbert¡¯s cars were parked beside each other at the hotel¡¯s entrance as they entered their respective vehicles. Turning into the main road, they drove single file, with Gilbert¡¯s car trailing behind Kisa¡¯s. Lea noticed this and questioned Kisa, ¡°Kisa, why is Mr. Kooper¡¯s car following us? Is he going to the fashion week too?¡± ¡°Who knows? Maybe we¡¯re heading in the same direction,¡± Kisa unhurriedly replied. The next moment, her phone notification rang, informing her of a new message from Gilbert. As she opened the phone message with a finger, she blushed. Gilbert¡¯s message was simple. [You vixen, you better be prepared for tonight!] This sentence was full of ambiguity. No matter how revealing Kisa looked on the outside, she was still a conservative person. She felt both embarrassed and amused after she read the text. ¡®Gilbert must have been holding a grudge for what I did in the elevator just now.¡® Lea scooted over when she saw Kisa¡¯s amused yet angry. ¡°Kisa, what are you looking at?¡± As Lea got closer, Kisa instantly hid her phone and smiled, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. My boyfriend just sent me a text message.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Lea¡¯s eyes were downcast, feeling conflicted, as she saw Kisa being guarded against her. As Gilbert¡¯s car trailed behind Kisa, James became a little suspicious, asking, ¡°Mr. Kooper, aren¡¯t you meeting up with a client? Why are we following behind Miss Becker? Isn¡¯t she going to fashion week?¡± Gilbert leaned on his seat without batting his eyes. ¡°We are meeting the client, but the client is going to fashion week too. It¡¯s better to meet up with them there instead of rescheduling the appointment.¡±Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Oh, alright,¡± James nodded, not daring to make random guesses. Since neither Gilbert nor Kisa met up in private or paid particr attention to each other, James would just need to report to Mrs. Kooper Sr. as is. They soon arrived at the fashion week event. The venue was crowded even though the event had yet to start, with many artists on the scene dressing up morously. Kisa may not be the most morous, but she had ss. Besides that, her dress suited her, making her look more elegant and ssier. As soon as the media caught sight of Kisa¡¯s arrival, they hurriedly raised their cameras to take her picture. Standing among the crowd, Gilbert eyed fondly at the eye¨Ccatching Kisa. Meanwhile, James, standing behind Gilbert, asked, ¡°Mr. Kooper, where is the client? We should get ready to meet up with him.¡± Gilbert furrowed his brows in displease and responded, ¡°Who¡¯s the boss here? Should you even tell me what to do?¡± One word from Gilbert was enough to prevent James from speaking further. ¡®I¡¯m just afraid Mr. Kooper will get involved with Kisa. In that case, it would be difficult to report to Mrs. Kooper Sr. If I told the truth to her, I would offend Mr. Kooper. But if I report falsely, I would have trouble exining to her. Hopefully, nothing is going on between the both of them. That way, I won¡¯t be in an awkward position.¡® Kisa made her way around the red carpet to acknowledge the presence of the media. The event had yet to start, so many artists were resting backstage. Kisa followed suit before feeling the need to answer nature¡¯s call. When she was about to head to the bathroom, a figure ran across her and spilled coffee all over Kisa¡¯s dress. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 833 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 833 Chapter 833 Looks Don¡¯t Lie Kisa¡¯s face darkened as she brushed off the coffee from her dress. She only had one dress for this event, so she had nothing else to change, even when it was dirty. Lea instantly screamed at the person, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Didn¡¯t you watch where you¡¯re going? You stained Kisa¡¯s dress! How is she supposed to attend the event. now?!¡± Not having the time to argue, Kisa tried very hard to clean the coffee stains off her dress. Lea¡¯s eyes flicker. ¡°Kisa, I¡¯ll hold your bag. Go clean up your dress. It¡¯ll be troublesome if it stains further.¡± Kisa was anxious. She did not think twice before handing Lea her bag and ran to the bathroom. The lady who bumped into Kisa, possibly a famous artist judging from the way she dressed, was someone of her age. Watching as Kisa ran to the bathroom, thedy lifted the corner of her lips coldly. She whispered in Lea¡¯s ears with a volume that only both of them could hear, ¡°Don¡¯t forget what Mr. Mullen asked you toplete.¡± After she finished, she backed away from Lea and smiled bewitchingly Lea instinctively tightened her hand on Kisa¡¯s bag. She had no idea why Anthony would ask her of this. But he only said it would be of great use in the future. Lea was concerned that doing this would hurt Kisa. Her sense of unease from the guilt lessened only after deliberating that her actions would not hurt Kisa. She checked the bathroom¡¯s direction, walked to a ce without people, opened Kisa¡¯s bag, and took out her phone. Thankfully, only a little coffee spilled onto the lower hem of the dress. Kisa held her dress, washed that particr spot, and let it dry under the hand dryer. Fortunately, her dress was ck, making the coffee stains less noticeable. Kisa took another close look after the dress had dried to ensure there was nothing wrong with the dress before leaving the bathroom. Lea was already waiting for her at the bathroom door. Lea hurriedly asked Kisa as she walked out, ¡°So, how was it, Kisa? Did you wash it away?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s not that obvious,¡± Kisa stared down. Lea nodded with relief and pulled thedy angrily in front of Kisa. ¡°Kisa, this was the woman who bumped into you just now. I was here watching her, afraid that she¡¯ll run away.¡± Kisa turned around and saw thedy dressed up attractively and looked at her apologetically. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry about that, Miss Becker. It wasn¡¯t on purpose. I¡¯m always rushing and would never think I would bump into you. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Thedy¡¯s apology was sincere in a way, but Kisa felt something fishy was going on. Perhaps it was the woman¡¯s excessive makeup and haughty appearance. Which made it at odds with the way she humbly apologized. Maybe that¡¯s why I think it¡¯s fishy.¡® Kisa, not wanting to delve further into the matter, calmly told thedy, ¡°It¡¯s alright. It was only an ident.¡± ¡°Oh my. Miss Becker is such an open¨Cminded person. No wonder you could kick Sharon out in such a short period. Everyone is talking about how you reced Sharon as the firstdy in Calthon¡¯s entertainment industry. You are incredible, Miss Becker.¡± Kisa knotted her brows and vaguely sensed the ridicule in thedy¡¯s tone, ¡®As expected, looks don¡¯t lie. Her apology just now was a fluke. She must have spilled the coffee on me on purpose since her apology wasn¡¯t even sincere.¡¯ As soon as Kisa realized this, she snatched thedy¡¯s coffee cup that was not fully spilled and sshed it on her dress.

Kisa gave her an innocent grin, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, it was an ident.¡± ¡°You did it on purpose!¡± Thedy did not back down and roared, wanting to hit Kisa. Lea stood in front of Kisa to block thedy, but she was pushed aside by the woman. ¡°You b*tch! Do you think you¡¯re above thew just because you have some fame now?

Thedy sprained her leg when her pumps hit the stool, causing her to fall to the ground. The ruckus backstage soon drew the attention of Mr. Willis, the head organizer. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you even fighting backstage?¡± Before Kisa could speak up, thedy immediately stood up, hugged the organizer¡¯s arm, and sobbed, ¡°Mr. Willis, you have to do me justice. This woman was acting arrogantly, taking advantage of her poprity. Not only did she throw coffee at me, but she also pushed me. Look at my dress. How am I supposed to continue the showter?¡± As thedy talked, her breast started rubbing against Mr. Willis¡¯s arm. Mr. Willis instantly turned his attention to Kisa with furrowed brows. ¡°Miss Becker. Why you¡­¡± ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t mean to spill coffee on her. I apologized to her. Yet she did not relent and pounced at me, wanting to hit me. At that moment, she tripped over the stool and fell.¡± ¡°You did it on purpose! You wanted to embarrass me in public,¡± Screamed thedy as she pointed at Kisa. Kisa shrugged her arms innocently and chuckled, ¡°So, did you purposely spill coffee on me too? To make sure I can¡¯t take part in the eventter?¡± ¡°Why you!¡± The woman, unable to outsmart Kisa, acted in a pettishly charming manner to the organizer. ¡°Mr. Willis, won¡¯t you look at her? She did it on purpose. You have to help me.¡± There must have been an affair between the organizer and the woman. The organizer patted the woman¡¯s hand and looked at Kisa with a grim face. ¡°Miss Becker, this isn¡¯t Calthon. You can¡¯t do whatever you want and insult others just because you are famous now. Hurry up and apologize to Ms. Jennings now.¡± The woman smiled with pride toward Kisa, her body leaning against the organizer¡¯s body. Kisa carefully eyed her surroundings, looking at the artists surrounding them. The artists who were not famous were all lowering their heads, keeping out of their business. The more renowned artists were all hugging their chests and watching as if watching a show. Kisa pursed her lips, her face calm and her heart unmoved. As Lea was enraged, she scolded the organizer and said, ¡°What¡¯s up with you people, anyway? The woman spilled coffee on Kisa and tripped over on her own. Why are you only ming Kisa? It was the woman who was at fault!¡± ¡°Shut up! You had no right to talk here, puny assistant!¡± Mr. Willis rebuked Lea. She had more to say, but Kisa pulled on Lea¡¯s arm, signaling her to calm down. Mr. Willis and thedy had a smug look thinking that Kisa was afraid, and backed up.

However, the person in charge and the nasty woman immediately paled. After all, Gilbert was also from Calthon and had been sharing some scandals with Kisa. They were worried that he would back Kisa up. The two of them did not have what it took to mess with Gilbert. Gilbert did not speak after he arrived. Instead, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. Then he leaned back and puffed away quietly. Everyone present stared at him and did not speak, as if they were frozen. Gilbert could not help butugh, ¡°Carry on, everyone.

Seeing how Gilbert had no intention of helping Kisa, the person in charge immediately lost his qualms about doing so. He growled at Kisa with an icy expression, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to apologize to Ms. Jennings? Why¡¯re you just standing there?¡± Kisa shifted her gaze away from Gilbert¡¯s indifferent expression. Momentster, she turned to the person in charge. ¡°I¡¯m not at fault, so why should I apologize to her? Isn¡¯t your favoritism a little too obvious? Or is there geographical discrimination among the Athadale event hosts?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. You guys are ganging up to pick on Kisa.¡± ¡°Shut up. We¡¯re discussing this issue on its merits,¡± the person in charge spoke, trying to make himself look and sound authoritative, like a noble gentleman. He then turned to Kisa, ¡°As an artist, your virtues and conduct must be up to standard. Ms. Becker, how you¡¯re acting will soonpletely ruin your image.¡± Suddenly, Kisa lowered her gaze and smiled. Her smile revealed a hint of disdain, ridicule, and iciness. The person in charge felt an inexplicable sense of panic when he saw her smile. To mask his panic, he immediately growled at Kisa, ¡°Why are youughing? Be more serious; this isn¡¯t Calthon!¡± Gilbert frowned slightly while his two fingers subconsciously gripped the cigarette tighter. Then, he straightened up his body and prepared to walk over. However, he suddenly heard Kisa speaking to the person in charge in an icy tone. ¡°Tell me, then, Mr. Willis. How exactly am I acting that will soon ruin my image?¡± Gilbert was stunned. He could not help but examine Kisa. ¡®This woman usually seems gentle and quiet, as if she does not have a care for the world. However, her gorgeous outfit and makeup right now paired with her icy voice is truly breath¨Ctaking,¡® he thought, Gilbert took a step back and leaned against the wall once more. Then, he gazed at Kisa yfully. ¡®This woman is changing more and more. But why do I feel like I¡¯m getting crazier and crazier about her?¡® he wondered. Upon hearing Kisa¡¯s question, the person in charge panicked a little. He felt an inexplicable chill run up his spine. He did not even dare to meet Kisa¡¯s eyes. When the woman saw the person in charge cowering, she shook his arm persistently, ¡°Come on, Mr. Willis. Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and remove that woman¡¯s name from the list.

To his surprise, Gilbert seemed indifferent and did not respond or show any hint of emotion on his face. James lowered his gaze. 1 suppose I can rx for the next few days.

Kisa gazed at them and saw that the nasty woman had already gotten up from the ground. She was now persistently hitting and pinching the person in charge. The person in charge kept on dodging her and was starting to look annoyed. Meanwhile, Kisa did not want to get involved any further. She took out her phone to look at the time. Ten minutes left until the event started Kisa turned to the person in charge with a slight smile, ¡°Do I still need to apologize to this woman, Mr. Willis?¡± She turned to the nasty woman in disdain.

What the heck is all this?!¡± After the person in charge finished yelling at Kisa, he stormed off and left the nasty woman standing there angrily. Kisa threw the nasty woman a nce and sneered.

However, the peculiar, smug expression on her face remained. ¡°That was very awe¨Cinspiring of you, Ms. Becker.

Otherwise, we would¡¯ve been the unlucky ones today.¡± Kisa smiled at her and said earnestly, ¡°Lea, over time, I came to realize something.¡± Lea was startled, ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Keeping quiet doesn¡¯t necessarily mean that you¡¯ll be able to escape unscathed. On the contrary, it¡¯ll encourage the opposition to be more arrogant.

Don¡¯t you think so?¡± Lea looked at her with a stunned expression. She realized that Kisa had changed entirely. The Kisa that she used to know shared her views: do not mess with other people if you can, even if it means losing something. However, the new Kisa was confident. If anyone picked on her, she would retaliate tenfold. Even though the new Kisa was as dazzling as ever, it made Lea feel slightly panicked. ¡®If Kisa finds out about me betraying her, I don¡¯t tell how she¡¯ll treat me,¡® Lea thought.

However, her voice was quickly muffled by the man¡¯s passionate kiss. Kisa looked at the man in front of her for a while, shocked and in a daze. ¡®Gilbert? How¡¯d he get in? I don¡¯t remember giving him my room card,¡® she thought. Gilbert abruptly pinched the woman yfully when he noticed her in a daze. He growled in a hoarse voice, ¡°Focus.¡± ¡°Gilbert¡­ Mmph!¡± Just as Kisa started speaking, the man covered her mouth with his lips and started moving them. His kiss was very rushed, as was his warm breath. Kisa¡¯s body was pressed up against his, so she felt the intense heating from his body. Even the muscles on his chest were incredibly tense. She felt a little scared, so she struggled against him while whimpering. However, the man continued pressing against her no matter where she moved. He did not allow her to escape at all. While trying to free herself from Gilbert, Kisa¡¯s hip bumped into the sink; she could not help but let out a groan. Her groan further excited the man in front of her. He growled lowly before grabbing her on the waist and seated her on the sink. N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content. The man¡¯s lips remained on hers as he continued kissing her passionately. He also kept his hands busy as they slid under her dress with ease. Kisa felt ufortable with his actions. She could not help but lean backward while gently pushing the man by his shoulders. Gilbert¡¯s hands were on her back and gently supported her upper body. He reluctantly broke away from the woman¡¯s lips. His dark eyes peered at her and were filled with intense desire. Kisa swallowed in panic. ¡°Gilbert, stop¡­ Stop it. I¡­ I¡¯m not ready yet¡­ Kisa had been getting along with Gilbert recently and was slowly falling for his gentleness and thoughtfulness. However, she still had not gotten what had happened in the past, so it was a little hard for her to ept him fully. Moreover, thest few times they had done the deed, Gilbert had forced himself on her and left a bad taste in her mouth, so she was still a little scared about doing it. Gilbert¡¯s gaze immediately darkened. Seeing this, Kisa felt a little guilty. Before Kisa could say something awkward to console the man, he promptly turned to her and grumbled with a smile, ¡°Who told you to look this seductive today? I wanted to devour you when I saw you.¡± His words sounded a little suggestive when in their current situation. Kisa¡¯s face was flushed. She could not tell if it was because their kiss earlier on was too rushed, so she could not catch her breath, or if she got embarrassed by his words. She bit her lips gently and said angrily, ¡°How could you me me when you¡¯re the one whocks self¨C control? If all the women on the streets dressed this way, will you devour them all?¡± ¡°I only feel that way about you!¡± The man jumped up in anger upon hearing her words. ¡®What does this woman take me for? Does she see me as someone who sleeps around, or as a pervert? After all, I¡¯ve only loved her in my entire life. And yet she was heartless enough to think of me that way; how infuriating!¡® he thought. The man had a dark expression. His dark gaze brimmed with desire and looked exceptionally dangerous. Kisa could not help but punch his shoulder, ¡°Move¡­ Move away!¡± ¡®We¡¯re in such an embarrassing position. I don¡¯t even dare to close my legs because that man¡­¡® she thought. Kisa took a deep breath and shoved him, ¡°Hurry up and move. I want to get down.¡± However the man continued standing there unmoving. Kisa blushed and said in an embarrassed and irritated tone, ¡°What¡¯re you doing, Gilbert?¡± Gilbert¡¯srge hands were still caressing her back and causing shivers to run down her spine.

Her dress was strapless, so Kisa almost teared up in pain when he bit her. The man let go of her and looked at her with a smirk. Kisa was furious, ¡°You¡¯re being a dumb*ss again!¡± Gilbert gently ran his slender fingers across the neat bitemark. Then, he smirked yfully, ¡°You probably won¡¯t be able to wear clothes that reveal your shoulders in a while, so other men won¡¯t see your shoulders.¡± Hearing his words, Kisa went ballistic. ¡°You lunatic! I have to attend a jewelry exhibition tomorrow.¡± ¡°Wear something else,¡± the man said bossily. Kisa gritted her teeth angrily and red at the man in front of her. Suddenly, she leaned over and bit him on the neck. The man frowned and grunted. However, an affectionate smile slowly formed on his lips. Kisa bit him for a while before she felt satisfied and let go of him. There were also two rows of bitemarks on Gilbert¡¯s neck now. However, Kisa¡¯s bite was more aggressive than his, so the bitemarks almost bled. Gilbert touched his neck. He said in an amused and resigned tone, ¡°How will I meet with people now that you¡¯ve bitten me here?¡± ¡°That¡¯s your business. You bit me first,¡± Kisa snorted quietly. The man chuckled. His smile brimmed with resignation. ¡®How ruthless of her. I only bit her gently, yet she returned the favor tenfold,¡® he thought. He gently moved away from her. When Kisa saw Gilbert move away, she eagerly jumped off the sink as if she were worried that he would suddenly lean back over. Gilbert peered at her rushed movements and felt a little upset. He watched as she jumped down and walked toward the bathroom. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. Gilbert hurriedly grabbed her. ¡°Kisa¡­¡± he gazed deeply at Kisa. Kisa could not help but feel guilty when she heard his upset tone. He continued, ¡°Do you¡­like me or not?¡± ¡®All this time, I¡¯ve never properly asked her this question. Initially, I thought I just wanted us to reconcile and return to how we were. It didn¡¯t matter if I didn¡¯t have a ce in her heart; what mattered was that I could stay by her side. But at the end of the day, people are greedy. After I got what I wished for in the beginning, I wanted more,¡® thought Gilbert. The man had an earnest expression as he slowly tightened his grip on Kisa¡¯s wrists. Kisa could not help but notice the man¡¯s uneasiness. She turned around and said earnestly, ¡°Let¡¯s put it this way. I won¡¯t be with someone if I don¡¯t like them; we¡¯d only be friends at most.¡± ¡°But you said you were nice to me because my name is Gilbert Kooper, so what if I¡¯m not the Gilbert Kooper your mother mentioned?¡± Hearing this, Kisa could not help butugh, ¡°What does me liking you or not have to do with that? So what if you¡¯re not the Gilbert Kooper that my mother mentioned? That Gilbert Kooper may already have a family and doesn¡¯t need me to watch over him.¡± Gilbert frowned and was about to continue speaking. ¡°But¡­¡± Kisa quickly cut him off, ¡°Alright. Why are you being emotional and overthinking like a woman?¡± Gilbert¡¯s expression darkened. ¡®I was just a little worried; I wasn¡¯t being emotional. This woman needs a lesson. Someday, I¡¯m going to make her beg for forgiveness under me. How infuriating!¡® he thought. Suddenly, Kisa frowned at him as if she had just remembered something, ¡°By the way, how¡¯d you get into my room?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 840 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 840 Chapter 840 Door Is Just An essory Gilbert let go of her and headed outside with both his hands in his pockets. Kisa immediately followed him out, ¡°You should exin yourself. How did youe in here?¡± Hezily sat back on the sofa chair, smiling brightly at her, saying, ¡°I cane in whenever I want to. Is that hard to understand?¡± Kisa rolled her eyes, feeling incredibly speechless. ¡®Seems like any door is merely an essory to this man,¡® she thought. Gilbert¡¯s gaze nce over to the dishes on the coffee table. He waved his hand at Kisa, ¡°Come on, eat your meal. Aren¡¯t you hungry after fussing for the whole day?¡± Kisa walked over sullenly. She touched the bite mark on her shoulder, still holding a grudge over his biting. Gilbert found it funny, ¡°You bit me more harshly, though. You didn¡¯t lose out in this situation.¡± Kisa huffed at Gilbert and then ignored him. She only picked up the meal on the table Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. and silently ate it. Gilbert stared at her for a moment, then suddenly asked, ¡°At the scene of the event today, I didn¡¯t help you. You¡¯re not angry over it, right?¡± Kisa picked out a few pieces of meat to eat and then spoke to him in a cheery tone, ¡± What¡¯s there to be angry about? I can¡¯t possibly have your help on every tiny thing. Besides, we¡¯re not supposed to have any association with each other in front of any outsiders.¡± She felt that if she could always be lovey¨Cdovey with Gilbert, it wouldn¡¯t be too bad this way. Even if they had to always do this sneakily. She was fine if they decided to not reveal their rtionship publicly. Kisa ate while speaking, ¡°Naturally, I¡¯m happy. So many outstanding men assume I am single and will be able to pursue me.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face fell, ¡°You have rather wishful thinking.¡± Kisa ate quite hurriedly and identally choked a bit. Gilbert quickly passed the juice next to him to her. Kisa took a few gulps and then eased her breathing. Then only did it get better. Gilbert could not help but scrunch his brows and said to her, slightly scolding, ¡°No one is fighting with you for your food. You always eat in such a rush. It¡¯s not good for your stomach.¡± Kisa drank another two sips of fruit juice. She swallowed the juice with much difficulty and spoke to him, ¡°This had nothing to do with eating in a rush or not. Mainly after I went through that fire in the past, my throat and stomach have someplications from it.¡± Kisa spoke very nonchntly, but when Gilbert heard it, his heart tightened. He pulled out tissues and wiped the juice sticking on the corner of her lips. He spoke to Kisa softly, ¡°Then you should try to eat slowly.¡± Kisa nodded her head and chuckled, ¡°However, it¡¯s better now than in the past. In the past, there was a lot of food I couldn¡¯t eat. I could only look at them in the past. Even white rice and grains, I only could eat a little of it, or my stomach would be in a lot of pain.¡± Gilbert listened quietly. His heart tightened even more. It was as if he saw the scene on that snowy day again. He thought back to the scene where he forced Kisa to sign the letter of confession and then let the police take her away. At that moment, she screamed so heart- wrenchingly. Yet, due to his damned prejudice and misunderstanding, he did not have a shred of mercy toward her. In the end, he put her in this state. If it wasn¡¯t for him sending her to prison, there would not have been that big fire. Regret and pain filled the depths of his heart. ¡°After going back to Calthon, let Kelvin check it out for you,¡± Gilbert said. Kisa shook her head, ¡°He looked over itst time. There¡¯s no way topletely heal it, but it¡¯s fine. It won¡¯t really affect my body; I¡¯ll be fine as long as I chew my food. more finely in the future.¡± Gilbert still felt uneasy. He asked Kisa, ¡°The warden, did Jensen find him yet?¡± ¡°There are some leads. Jensen¡¯s subordinates are still searching. Without any other idents, he should find him very soon.¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and spoke no more. Finding the warden would be great, but he feared the result would not be as simple as he thought. Like back then at Hillsby, even though both the prison guards rified that the fire had no connection with him. Thinking about it now, the reaction from the two prison guards when they saw him ultimately seemed suspicious. Every time he thought about it, his heart would panic slightly. He was afraid that the warden would¡­ He snapped himself out of his thoughts and spoke to her in a serious tone¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 841 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 841 Chapter 841 Being Intimate With Him ¡°Once the warden is found, could you inform me immediately?¡± Kisa was stunned and nodded her head after a while. Gilbert secretly gripped his knee tightly. He did not trust any of the people connected with that fire. This was ironic, since Gilbert was clearly innocent but was always afraid of those people who would nder him. Ultimately, he was terrified of losing Kisa again. As Kisa was showering, she locked the door properly. She was scared of Gilbert barging in suddenly. She looked into the mirror. The bite mark on the shoulder was still there, clear as day. She glumly put on her nightgown. In her mind, she secretly cursed that Gilbert was born a dog. After coming out from showering, Gilbert had already sat at the head of the bed waiting for her. He took a shower and was nowzily leaning by the headboards looking at a magazine. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Seeing here out, he naturally patted the position next to him and beckoned her over. Kisa poured a ss of water. After finishing her drink, she only looked at him, ¡± You¡¯re not going back to your own room?¡± ¡°Kelvin is impersonating me there. What could I do going back?¡± Gilbert answered justifiably then patted the position next to him again, urging her toe over. Kisa pursed her lips and struggled for a while before going over. She didn¡¯t actually not want to be intimate with him. However, once she gets intimate with him, her heart will strangely be anxious. Kisa crawled over and then tried her best to sit at the edge of the bed. Distancing herself far away from him. Gilbert gave a cool nce, then directly outstretched his hand and pulled her over with a move. Kisa was fell into his arms directly after being pulled by him. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Kisa huffed glumly and pretended to get out of his embrace. Gilbert instead stubbornly ced his arm over her waist and let her head rest on his chest. He spoke in a muffled voice, ¡°Isn¡¯t this a little bit morefortable? What are you doing staying so far away from me?¡± Kisa altered her position and secretly felt it for herself. It felt that this seemed to indeed be more comfortable than leaning on the bed¡¯s headboards. Especially while lying in his embrace and scrolling through the phone like this. It could not be cozier anymore. She wiggled about in his arms and change into a morefortable position. As she scrolled through her phone, Gilbert¡¯s muffled voice came from above her head, ¡°Can you stop moving around!¡± ¡°I¡¯m moving my own body. It¡¯s not getting in your way, ¡°Kisa rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Heh, not getting in my way?¡± Gilbert chuckled from the anger, then grabbed her arm and dragged them into the nkets. ¡°Ah!¡± A high¨Cpitched screech could be heard crying out. Kisa directly flipped out of his embrace like a carp. ¡°Gilbert, you are such a freaking scoundrel!¡± ¡°I¡¯m a scoundrel?¡± Gilbert stared at her with gritted teeth, ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for you moving around just now, I wouldn¡¯t be in this state.¡± ¡°Never mind, I¡¯m not sticking to you. You stay away from me a little more.¡± Kisa wanted to scurry to the side. Gilbert stretched out his long hands and pulled her back again. He pressed her into his arms and then made a low, muffled growl, ¡°Lie down properly and don¡¯t move around, that¡¯s all.¡± Kisa¡¯s whole body stiffened, and she really did not make a move and dared not move around. Gilbert took her phone and threw it back to her, ¡°That¡¯s fine. Just do whatever you need to do. Don¡¯t overthink.¡± ¡®Overthink?¡® The corner of Kisa¡¯s lips could not help but twitch, ¡®Wasn¡¯t it he who always thought of such unhealthy images?¡¯ Kisa bit her lip and did not bother about him. She only scrolled through her phone by herself. Both of them did not speak anymore. The room was filled with a rare moment of intimacy and tranquility. For some time, Kisa¡¯s phone kept reying a specific short video. Gilbert couldn¡¯t help but lower his gaze to give it a look, then noticed the woman in his arms had already fallen asleep. He shook his head in dism1 Bemgintimate With Far off before carefully lowering her onto the bed. After pulling the nket over her, he quietly got down from the bed. He walked to the side of the window and grabbed his phone to call Davian. Kisa opened her eyes, disoriented. In her half¨Casleep daze, she merely saw the silhouette of a towering figure. She could vaguely hear a flurry of conversation¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 842 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 842 Chapter 842 Cannot Take Any Risks ¡°You should send people to follow Jensen¡¯s subordinates and search for the warden. You must find the warden before they do.¡± Kisa unconsciously furrowed her brows. ¡®Why does Gilbert have to find the warden before Jensen? Is he trying to prove that he¡¯s more impressive than Jensen? ¡®Childish!¡® Kisa unconsciously curled her lips into a smile and dozed back into her dreamscape. She had not slept well for a few days, so she was dead tired. Besides the windows, Gilbert stared at the moonlight outside with a dark gaze. He could not take any risks at all now. He did not dare to trust anyone. He had to find the warden first himself and ensure that the warden would not nder him. Only then would he dare to let the warden emerge before Kisa. Of course, he hoped that he was just overthinking things. Maybe the warden would not nder him. Ultimately, it was something he absolutely had to do to assure himself so he could have peace of mind. In the night, Gilbert tossed and turned as he could not go to sleep. His whole body felt ufortable, like he was being burned alive. The room was not hot this season, yet he felt unbearable stuffy heat. He could not help but hold the sweet slumberingdy in his arms. But holding onto the soft figure of the woman, he felt even more heated. In his body, something seemed to be trying its hardest to break through its shackles. His hand unconsciously wrapped around her chest. However, remembering Kisa¡¯s face when rejecting him every time, he finally retracted his arms back. He painfully stared at the ceiling. After a while, he suddenly pushed away the woman in his arms and got up to get off the bed. He pushed Kisa and ultimately did aplete roll on the bed. She made a small cry but went back to sleep immediately. Gilbert chuckled in anger. ¡®Look at you, sleeping so deeply. Must be nice!¡® he snorted jealously. He gritted his teeth and red at the figure on the bed for a long while, then walked toward the bathroom. The faucet was turned on. Cold water immediately poured down to the top of Gilbert¡¯s head. Gilbert stood under the showerhead silently, allowing the cold water TISKS to wash away the heat in his body. Under the scour of cold water, he finally calmed down. The whiff of lustful fire was slowly suppressed. Closing off the showerhead, he turned around and leaned onto the wet wall. He then lit up a cigarette and smoked it. The smoke floated around. Gilbert¡¯s expression was wild and devilish, with a hint of lust. Gilbert stared in a daze at the clothes Kisa had changed out of in the bathroom. He started to let his imagination run wild again. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. He hurriedly averted his gaze to another spot. He silently cursed himself for being so nonsensical. Thinking of a woman in such a way, he was iparable to others. He also did not know when Kisa would genuinely ept him. Thinking about it made him frustrated. He leaned on the wall and smoked another two cigarettes solemnly. After he finished smoking, he took another cold shower before finally returning to bed. This time, he did not dare to get too close to Kisa. He was scared that he could not hold himself back. He sat leaning at the edge of the bed, took out his phone, and scrolled through it out of boredom. Suddenly, Kisa rolled herself over a few times and got closer to him. One of her soft arms evennded on his waist. Gilbert huffed, gritted his teeth then angrily took Kisa¡¯s hand away. After her hand was ced away, she rolled again on the bed, away from Gilbert. Gilbert inevitably let out a sigh of relief. His sigh of relief barely escaped his lips before Kisa rolled back toward him again, for some reason. This time, she was even more outrageous. She did not just put her arm on his waist. She even directly put her legs on his, treating him as a bolster. Gilbert gritted his teeth so hard that it felt as if his eyes would pop out of their sockets. He was starting to suspect whether Kisa was doing this on purpose. Just as Gilbert was holding back his rage, Kisa slowly opened her eyes. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 843 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 843 Chapter 843 The Long, Long Night ¡°Gilbert, why haven¡¯t you slept?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t sleep!¡± Gilbert huffed out in a muffled voice, which was a little hoarse. Kisa uttered out a single ¡°Oh,¡± then closed her eyes and fell asleep again. Gilbert bit into his teeth again and put her arms and legs away. Then, he quickly ran to the sofa to lie down. Kisa was repeatedly trying to seduce him, or so he thought. If this kept going on, something was bound to happen sooner orter. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. His arm cushioned his head, and he stared at the ceiling in a daze. A long, long night such as this was truly unbearable! The following morning, James crouched behind the room door. Through opening the narrow slit, his eyes stared into Gilbert¡¯s room that was facing nted to his room. It had been a long, long night, and Gilbert still had not gone out, so there seemed to be no problem. He gave a yawn and prepared to go and have some proper rest. Suddenly, his eyes immediately stretched wide open. He saw Gilbert carrying breakfast and walking past the front of his door. He sucked in a cold breath with a whoosh. ¡®Impossible. Why would Gilbert have split into two?¡® he thought. As he watched Gilbert walk past, he quickly rushed out. ¡°Mr¡­ Mr. Kooper, how did youe back from the outside. Weren¡¯t you sleeping inside the room?¡± Gilbert looked at his ckened eyes and suddenly felt pity for him. He smiled at James and said, ¡°It seems you aren¡¯t such a professional after all. Why? Did you nod off during the night?¡± James shook his head repeatedly, ¡°No, I didn¡¯t nod off. I really stared at Mr. Kooper¡¯s room for the whole night. I didn¡¯t even blink once.¡± ¡°Heh, the whole night? That must¡¯ve been hard for you. However, you should try and remember carefully, did you truly not blink once at all?¡± James was immediately stumped from his questioning and started to remember. It was only during daybreak earlier. He was too tired and his eyes were getting dry, so he rubbed them a bit. It was not even in a few seconds. Could Mr. Kooper have gone out at that time? He looked at Gilbert with horror and started to feel the resourcefulness of this Mr. Kooper. Gilbert sneered at him and walked back to his room in significant strides. James suddenly noticed with his sharp eyes the teeth marks on his neck. He immediately chased after him and stared at the teeth marks on Gilbert¡¯s neck. He asked in horror, ¡°Mr. Kooper, your neck¡­ What happened to your neck? Who bit you?¡± Gilbert caressed the teeth marks on his neck and smiled dubiously at him, ¡± A woman bit it. Who else could it be?¡± James¡® expression changed drastically, ¡°Who? It wouldn¡¯t be Ms¡­ Ms. Kisa, no?¡± While at this moment, the elevator door suddenly opened. A foxy¨Cdressed woman wearing stilettos walked by. She walked to Gilbert¡¯s side and then stopped. James was shocked as he looked at the woman. Although she was pretty and her body was sexy, she seemed unfamiliar. She held onto Gilbert¡¯s shoulder with a single hand. Half her body was almost stuck onto Gilbert¡¯s figure. She spoke to Gilbert seductively. Her voice was sultry, ¡°Mr. Kooper, why did you leave in such a rush just now? You didn¡¯t even know you left your tie in the car.¡± Saying this, she hung the tie on his beck and tied a knot with her nimble fingers. After doing all this, she even tapped on the teeth marks on his neck. ¡°Is it still painful? I didn¡¯t do it on purpose just now. Please don¡¯t me me, though. Just me it on you being so rough.¡± The sexual innuendos in the woman¡¯s sentence were too much and left James shocked to the core. Gilbert touched her shiny hair, ¡°Next time, I¡¯ll be gentler.¡± ¡°Then, Mr. Kooper, I¡¯ll be going first then. Remember to look for me, okay?¡± The woman finished saying this and then walked away in elegant strides. James had his mouth wide open and stayed stunned without reacting for quite some time. With a dull smile, Gilbert gave James a nce, then turned around to go back to his room. Just as he entered the room, the phone in his pocket rang and vibrated¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 844 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 844 Chapter 844 He Became A Simp He closed the door with his backhand. Leaning on the door frame, he pulled out his phone. A message popped up on the screen. After seeing the contents of the message, his lips curled into a smile. Kelvin suddenly came around like a specter. He snatched the breakfast from Gilbert¡¯s hands and took a bite out of some bread. His eyes nced at Gilbert¡¯s phone screen. [That woman was not bad. Sexy, but not lustful. Charming, but not cheap. When she stood next to you, you guys seemed like a match made in heaven!] Kelvin could not help but sniff his nose. He felt the thick smell of jealousy from the sentence. He looked at the message sender¡­ ¡®Oh my god! Unknown client?¡® The corner of Kelvin¡¯s lips twitched, and he looked at Gilbert,¡± Kisa sent it?¡± ¡°Eat your food,¡± Gilbert grabbed a ss of soy milk and walked to a sofa near the window to sit down. Kelvin quickly walked alongside with a mischievous smile on his face. ¡°Say¡­ did both of you do the deed?¡± Gilbert was toozy to be bothered with him. He twisted his body to the side while trying to understand the message just now. It seemed like Kisa had witnessed the scene in the corridor earlier. Turns out seeing the woman had made Kisa jealous. Noticing this detail, he felt joy in his heart. With a ¡°ding¡± sound, the chat box popped out another message. ¡®Since you had a beauty forpany, don¡¯t look for me at night, okay? I want to get a night of proper, sound sleep.¡® Gilbert shook his head, amused. ¡®Is this woman for real?¡® He lowered his gaze while his fingers worked on the phone screen swiftly. [The woman is just a regr friend of mine. She opened a restaurant nearby. Because of the teeth mark incident, I had to ask her to cooperate to make this scene. Are you¡­mad at me?] After the message was sent, Kisa did not reply for quite some time. Gilbertid on the sofa and asionally picked up his phone to check. Kelvin nces at him from the side, with his face full of disdain, ¡°Look at how desperate you are. You should have some pride, don¡¯t be such a simp!¡± Gilbert looked at him coolly, ¡°Back then when you were pursuing Gracie, you were more of a simp than I was. Did you forget?¡± Kelvin rolled his eyes and huffed in a low voice, ¡°There was no such thing, don¡¯t go spouting nonsense!¡± Owned by N?velDrama.Org. In the end, he passed the half¨Ceaten sandwich to the front of him with detest, ¡°Of all of the things you could¡¯ve bought, you bought sandwiches. What¡¯s so delicious about sandwiches?¡± ¡°Not delicious? You¡¯ve already eaten eight sandwiches, and you¡¯re eating one right now!¡± Kelvin smiled sheepishly, ¡°You even counted?¡± ¡°Is there even a need to count? I bought 10 of them. There is only one left in the bag, yes?¡± Gilbert nced at him as if looking at an idiot. He really couldn¡¯t be bothered to talk to him anymore. Kelvinughed dryly, ¡°I was just hungry. You didn¡¯t even care to bring me a bowl of cereal.¡± Gilbert ignored him but his hands unconsciously tapped open his phone, but the chat messages remained the same. Kisa still had not replied to his message. He could not help but massage his temples His heart was anxious. Kisa would not still be angry, would she? She had always been hard to coax. If she really had gotten angry, god knows how long he would have to wait for her to pay attention to him again. After a bit of thought, he sent another message over. ¡®Alright, don¡¯t be angry. I won¡¯t be like this again.¡® ¡°Tsk tsk tsk¡­¡± He did not know when Kelvin stand moved to stand behind him. He stretched his neck to look at Gilbert¡¯s message¡¯s contents. It was so cheesy. He had goosebumps. ¡°Look at your groveling tone, tsk!¡± Kelvin clicked his tongue as Gilbert stood up. ¡°Why are you everywhere I go? Even while eating, you won¡¯t shut up,¡± Gilbert said in a frustrated tone. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have lied and let mee over, then.¡± Kelvin sat down and ate half a sandwich with a single bite and did not forget to roll his eyes at Gilbert. Gilbert ignored him andid down on the bed by himself. Kelvin saw the exhaustion in his eyes and could not help but huff, ¡°No need to exin.

She dismissed all the missed calls with her heart still in shock as deep down in her heart, she could not help but feel suspicious. He was looking for her so urgently. Could it be that something important had happened? She called over based on his phone number and then simply tapped open the chat box. Once the chat box was tapped open, she immediately cut off the phone call. Gilbert had been looking for her so urgently, not for any emergency, but only because he assumed that she was angry at him and was ignoring him. The chat box was filled with apology messages sent by Gilbert. Kisa shook her head, speechless. When did Gilbert be so concerned for her emotions? Seeing his groveling tone of apology, Kisa could not help but curl the corner of her lips. She sat to the side and picked up a sandwich. She took a bite while still having a great mood and then replied to Gilbert with a sentence, ¡®The sandwiches you bought were delicious.¡® He immediately replied in seconds, ¡®If you like to eat it, then eat more. I bought ten for you. All of them have meat in them.¡® Kisa looked at the sandwiches funnily. Gilbert is treating her like taking care of a man. She chuckled and put down the phone to focus on eating the sandwiches. She slept very wellst night. Her spirits were quite good today. However, she did not know what wrong with Gilbert previous night was. He tossed around repeatedly. She even heard the sound of water vaguely flowing. In the end, he would asionally get in and out of bed. She felt that Gilbert did not sleep at allst night. Besides, when she had woken up at dawn, he had not been in the room, but had left some sandwiches and oatmeal on the table. At that time, she could feel that Gilbert had just left the room recently, so she immediately opened the room door and looked out to the corridor. With just a nce, she saw the foxydy sticking onto his figure. Actually, she was not that angry. She also knew Gilbert had just acted out the scene with the woman because of the teeth marks on his neck. She was just feeling a little mischievous and had merely wanted to tease him a little. She had not expected Gilbert to be so anxious. Thinking of this, she felt joy in her heart. She felt that living like this would be fine if she could always be lovey¨Cdovey with Gilbert, even if they had to do so sneakily and not reveal their rtionship publicly Unfortunately, in life all sorts of incidents and events happen. When they do, they always take people by surprise. Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. Kisa¡¯s jewelry showcase during the afternoon was very smooth. No scheming artists were acting out, and no smug, arrogant people were trying to pick a fight. At the jewelry exhibition, she did not see Gilbert again. It seemed like he was catching up on sleep at the hotel. The jewelry exhibition ended before twelve o¡¯clock in the afternoon. There was nothing for Kisa to do in the afternoon. Since she had already booked her ne ticket for the next day, Kisa simply returned to the hotel for an afternoon nap. Not long after lying down, she got a call from Gilbert. ¡°Come down. I¡¯ll be waiting at the hotel entrance for you.¡± When Kisa heard his sentence, her sleepy eyes immediately cracked wide open. ¡± What for? Are we going out to have fun?¡± ¡°Mm, quickly. I¡¯m bringing you somewhere fun.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯lle down right now.¡± Having been in Athadale for a few days, Kisa naturally wanted to go out to have some fun. The weather was turning warmer. Kisa wore a long¨Csleeved floral skirt apanied by a pair of white shoes. When she went out, she put on a mask and sunsses. However, as she entered the elevator, Lea walked out of the room. She nced in the direction of the elevator, then walked over with a puzzling expression on her face¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 846 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 846 Chapter 846 Making Up For the Regrets of My Youth Lea stared nkly at the numbers on the elevator, feeling a little dazed. ¡°I did not ask you toe and y. There¡¯s only half a day left. If you still can¡¯t do what I asked you to, I swear I¡¯ll make your life miserable.¡± ¡°The matter regarding the phone was done rather well. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want for your work? I¡¯m not a stingy man.¡± ¡°¡­C¨Ccan we not use this? Can you just¡­e inside me?¡± ¡°You want to bear my child? Fine. Let¡¯s see if you¡¯re capable of it.¡± All the absurdity and madness fromst night crept into Lea¡¯s mind. Her face contorted into a pained expression. ¡®What on earth should I do? I don¡¯t want to hurt Kisa, but I really, really, really love this man.¡® She covered her face with her hands in pain and frustration. After a long time, she walked in after the elevator door opened. Just likest time, Kisa waited at the hotel entrance, and a taxi stopped in front of her. This time, she did not even look as she got into the vehicle. When she got into the car, Gilbert grabbed her hand and held it. ¡°Where are we going?¡± Kisa asked him excitedly. ¡°You¡¯ll know when we get there,¡± Gilbert replied. He gave her a dotting smile, not forgetting to tuck her hair behind her ears. As soon as their car drove away, Lea stopped a taxi on the side of the road and said, ¡± Follow that car.¡± Athadale was a bustling city. The roads were jammed up. Kisa leaned on Gilbert¡¯s shoulder and scrolled her phone in boredom. Suddenly, she noticed that the man was staring at the rearview mirror with a serious expression. Kisa could not help but straighten up, look back, and ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°There seems to be a car following us.¡± ¡°What?¡± Kisa looked back and saw that the two vehicles that were tailing closely behind them were also taxis. ¡°You¡¯re being paranoid. Maybe that taxi is just going somewhere that has the same direction as where we¡¯re going. Plus, we¡¯re in Athadale; Kelvin fooled the person grandma sent, so I don¡¯t think he would being after us right now. As for Lea, she has no motive to be following us. She was sick all morning and even had a fever. She¡¯s resting at the hotel.¡± Gilbert lowered his gaze and smiled at Kisa. ¡°Maybe I am overthinking.¡± After saying that, he continued to stare at the rearview mirror, observing the car behind them. Seeing that he was so focused, Kisa did not say anything else. After all, it¡¯s good to be cautious. After another half an hour, the car suddenly stopped in the parking lot of an amusement park. Kisa turned to look at all the exciting rides and asked, ¡°We¡¯re going to the amusement park today?¡± Gilbert smiled and nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll be making up for all the rides I didn¡¯t go on with you when we were younger.¡± Kisa did not speak, but her brows were arching in excitement. When they were walking toward the ticket booth at the amusement park, Gilbert could not help but nce at the car that had just followed them there. The car had already driven to another road and did not follow them to the park. Gilbert let out a sigh of relief. ¡®I guess I really was being paranoid,¡® he thought. He then quickly bought two tickets and a hat for Kisa. The hat matched her sundress very well. Kisa put on her hat and praised him, which was rare. ¡°You have good taste,¡± she said. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert smiled, grabbed her hand, and walked into the theme park. However, neither of them noticed that in a hidden corner, there was a camera capturing their every move. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 847 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 847 Chapter 847 Married At a Young Age There were a lot of people in the theme park. Most of them were parents bringing their children for a day of fun. There were also many young couples walking around. When Kisa was young, she had dragged Gilbert to an amusement park once. But that time, Gilbert had a depressing expression on his face; it was as if taking him there was a huge loss for him. Kisa still remembered how gloomy he had been the whole time they were there, which caused many people to look at them with judgmental eyes. Now, even though Gilbert was wearing a mask, Kisa could see the warmth and smile he had behind his eyes and brows. There was no way she could connect the man he was at that moment with the gloomy boy back then. It was like they were two totally different people. Kisa had no interest in normal rides; she wanted excitement, so she went straight to the roller coaster. The roller coaster track was very long. There were several near- vertical angles in the middle of the ride, which were thrilling enough to look at. The roller coaster was in operation then, with continuous bursts of cries and screams from above. Kisa was excited just from listening to them. She then pulled Gilbert to the line for the ride. She had wanted to go on a roller coaster since she was young but was too timid and did not dare to go on it alone. That was why she dragged Gilbert along. However, she did not expect Gilbert to act so unhappily back then. He did not even go on any of the rides, which also meant that Kisa never got to go on the roller coaster. Not only that, she did not even get to go on other thrilling rides. It became one of her regrets. Kisa did not think that Gilbert would have remembered all of these and brought her to an amusement park just to go on rides with her after so many years. She tightened her grip on his hands and felt touched with a hint of sweetness as Gilbert looked at her, eyes full of tenderness and dote.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Wow. That man is so handsome.¡± ¡°Yeah. He¡¯s so tall and handsome. He has a good figure too.¡± ¡°Oh my god, his side profile is so hot! Look at that gorgeous bod. He¡¯s even more handsome than the celebrities on TV!¡± Suddenly, several girls were whispering behind Gilbert¡¯s back. They nced at him from time to time, their eyes full of surprise and admiration. Kisa could not help butugh. She tiptoed up to Gilbert¡¯s ears and said, ¡°You¡¯re popr with the girls, huh?¡± ¡°So what if I am? You¡¯re the one I want.¡± Gilbert hugged Kisa around the waist domineeringly. Kisa laughed. ¡°Hey, we¡¯re in public. Let go.¡± ¡°What are you afraid of? What¡¯s wrong with hugging my wife?¡± ¡°Ah! He¡¯s married! Why do handsome men like to marry at a young age?¡± ¡°Yeah. Why marry so early? Do they not know that marriage is a tomb of love?¡± Kisa almost died ofughter when she heard the whispered discussions of the girls behind them. It was almost their turn on the roller coaster. Kisa sat up excitedly and fastened her seatbelt. The man beside her was still worried, checking her seatbelt carefully. After the ride was full, the roller coaster started slowly, with an rm sounding. Kisa was excited at first, but her heart trembled when the ride began to move. The ride was getting faster and faster, and Kisa hurriedly grabbed Gilbert¡¯s arm. Gilbert looked at her tensed¨Cup expression and chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s okay; I¡¯m here.¡± However, as the ride sped up, the sound of his voice got lost in the sound of the rushing wind. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 848 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 848 Chapter 848 Ahhh Kisa did not hear anything. She only heard the strong wind rushing through her ears as the scenery passed by like lightning. Suddenly, the roller coaster train turned a corner and entered a circr track. Kisa could not calm down. She closed her eyes. tightly and screamed as loud as she could. Immediately after that, the train kept spinning round and round the track. Then, it went into a sharp and sudden downhill drop. ¡°§¡§¯§¯§¯§¯§¯§¯§¯§¯!!!¡± Kisa could not see or hear a thing. The only thing she could feel was her heart about to stop, as if she would die right then and there. She screamed frantically, expressing her inner fear to the fullest. The roller coaster was thrilling, but time went by fast. After a few minutes, the ride finally came to a slow stop. Kisa¡¯s whole being was in a daze. She was pinned to her seat, motionless. Her chest heaved violently, and her forehead was covered in sweat. Gilbert, on the other hand, seemed fine. He held Kisa up with one hand while wiping the sweat off her forehead with the other. ¡°Did you have fun?¡± he asked with a smile. Kisa seemed to have not recovered yet. She stared nkly ahead, not moving an inch. After the ride came to aplete stop, the people on the train began to get off one after another. Like Kisa, many of their faces were pale. Some of them fell to the ground with limp legs as soon as they got off. Kisa took a few deep breaths before regaining consciousness. ¡°I will never get on this ride again,¡± Kisa said to Gilbert with a sad look on her face, her voice a little hoarse from all the screaming. Gilbert patted her head amusedly and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to go on an exhrating ride? What? Was that too much for you?¡± ¡°Whatever. I won¡¯t be going on this ride ever again,¡± Kisa ?aid as she took off her seatbelt and got off the ride. As soon as her feet touched the ground, her whole body fell limply to the ground. Gilbert scooped her up andughed, ¡°Look at you. You¡¯ve been defeated by a roller coaster.¡± Kisa did not have the energy to argue with him, so she just gave him an eye roll. Gilbert let out a muffledugh when he saw that. He stretched out his arms, put them under her legs, and carried her to a bench nearby. He then gave her a bottle of water and said, ¡°Drink some of this to soothe your throat. Then, we¡¯ll go on the hydra or the pirate ship.¡± Kisa nced at a ride called the hydra not far away and quickly shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m good.¡± The excitement she once had was no longer there. Gilbert wanted tough just looking at her. ¡°Didn¡¯t you keep asking me to go on those rides with you? I¡¯ll y all of them with you right now. What d¡¯you say?¡± Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. Kisa hugged her knees and shook her head. Gilbert sat next to her, finding it funny. ¡°Are you scared already? I thought you said that you only wanted to go on the thriller rides?¡± Kisa smiled in embarrassment and said nothing. ¡®Exciting rides are fun and tempting, but not everyone can go through with them. People like Gilbert are not to be messed with,¡® she thought. Kisa had just observed that most of the people who went on the roller coaster had turned pale with fear all over when they were done, while half of them were paralyzed with fright, just like her. Only Gilbert had been calm throughout the entire ride. ¡®Tsk, he really is an extraordinary existence.¡® Gilbert nced at Kisa¡¯s still¨Cpale face and said in a low voice, ¡°Let¡¯s go on some mild and more rxed rides.¡± Kisa nodded and stood up from the bench unsteadily. She looked like she was about to fall at any moment. She staggered a bit and fell forward. Gilbert hurried to help her, but the next moment, she suddenly grabbed his hand and said, ¡°What¡¯s this?!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 849 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 849 Chapter 849 Your Ex-Husband Has a New Lover Kisa noticed several deep nail marks on the back of Gilbert¡¯s hands, a few of them bleeding. ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Gilbert withdrew his hand and chuckled lightly. Kisa frowned and looked at him. She then nced toward the roller coaster ride that was not far away. Her frown tightened, and guilt appeared on her face. ¡°Did I do this just now?¡± Gilbert kept quiet. Kisa¡¯s frown deepened. ¡°I must have done it when we were on the ride.¡± Seeing her anxious and frustrated look, Gilbert joked, ¡°You¡¯re timid but very strong.¡± Kisa quickly pulled his hand over to take a closer look. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to. If I knew my own strength, I wouldn¡¯t have¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Gilbert knew that Kisa felt guilty, so he did not say anything further. Instead, he dragged her over to the mild rides. Kisa stared at his back quietly, tears forming in her eyes. ¡®He¡¯s so nice to me now.¡¯ Even though her heart had been hurt beyond recognition by him way before this, she still fell for him once again. She only hoped that there would be no problems arising between them. ¡®If all of this is just a dream, then I would like to dream forever.¡® The next day, Kisa returned to Calthon. When she got off the ne, countless media reporters rushed toward her. ¡°You¡¯re so popr now, Kisa. Look at the number of reporters who came to wee you home before your return was even made public, Lea said happily. ¡°Sharon is out of the picture, so these reporters naturally focused most of their attention on me. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be much entertainment news to report,¡± Kisa whispered. ¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the journalists passed by them directly and rushed behind them. Only a small number of reporters were surrounding her, taking pictures. Lea was stunned. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Aren¡¯t they here for you? What kind of big celebrity could have such a huge influence other than you?¡± Kisa felt that what Lea had said was a bit of an exaggeration, but she did have some doubts. She could not help but turn around to see who it was. Suddenly, she understood. It turned out that Gilbert was on the same ne as them. At that moment, Gilbert was surrounded by the media reporters. What was even more exciting was that there was a seductive and extravagant woman beside him. It was the woman who had yed with him in the corridor yesterday. The two of them were behaving intimately in front of the media. As if it was some big news, cameras started shing around Gilbert and the woman vigorously. Kisa stared at Gilbert thoughtfully. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed like Gilbert had arranged for the media to be there. ¡®But this man has always kept a low profile. Why did he suddenly be so outspoken and open to the public? Is he deliberately trying to y out an act for grandma?¡® While Kisa was in a daze, the reporters surrounding her started to ask her questions. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Ms. Becker, you and Mr. Kooper were on the same flight. Was this just a coincidence?¡± ¡°Ms. Becker, it looks like Mr. Kooper, your ex¨Chusband, has a new lover. What are your thoughts on the rtionship?¡± When the reporters were asking her those questions, Gilbert walked past her. The man looked at her yfully as if curious about her answer. Kisa smiled and talked into the reporter¡¯s microphone. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 850 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 850 Chapter 850 He Gave In ¡°It¡¯s pure coincidence that Mr. Kooper and I were on the same flight. As for his new lover, she¡¯s very pretty, and they are a perfect match. I wish them all the best.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face darkened. ¡®She always does this. Even if it¡¯s just acting, she always puts her all into her speech. It¡¯s so annoying.¡® ¡°Mr. Kooper, do you have anything to say about your ex¨Cwife¡¯s blessing to you and your new lover?¡± ¡°Oh, I would like to thank her for the blessing, and I wish her all the best with her future lover as well.¡± After he finished speaking, he took the woman beside him and strode out of the airport. The media reporters followed them like a swarm of bees in an instant. Maybe it was because the news about Gilbert¡¯s new lover was more interesting; none of the reporters stayed behind to interview Kisa. Lea looked around the deserted ce and said disappointingly, ¡°I really thought they were here to wee you home.¡± Kisa smiled, not caring about the situation. ¡°Kisa, who was that woman? Why is Mr. Kooper with her?¡± Lea suddenly asked. ¡°Who knows? That¡¯s his business, and I have no say in it.¡± Entertainment news alwayses out fast. That same evening, the incident at the airport hit the headlines. The news about Gilbert¡¯s new lover was wildly spread across all major tforms. Each of the headlines was dramatic and eye¨Ccatching. Kisa scrolled through the news articles, feeling that the media had exaggerated the whole thing. They wrote about how she, the ex¨Cwife, was giving her blessing to Gilbert and his new love in tears. They even wrote that behind her blessing was a heart full of sorrow, but Kisa felt strongly otherwise. ¡®What the f*ck do they mean tears and sorrow? I obviously gave them my blessing with a smile.¡® She threw her phone on the bed speechlessly. ¡®The news is so unreliable these days. Only the people involved would know the truth behind what really happened.¡® Just as she was thinking about it, Gilbert called. She took her phone and satfortably on the chair before answering. ¡°Thank you for your blessing at the airport today,¡± Gilbert said in a deep, gloomy voice as soon as Kisa picked up. ¡°No, thank you for your blessing,¡± Kisaughed. ¡°Stopughing!¡± ¡°Well, of course I¡¯mughing. I mean, you gave me your blessing too.¡± ¡°Are you not mad that I brought another woman home today?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that she¡¯s just a friend? Why would I be mad?¡± Gilbert was holding his phone while his other hand was holding a pen. He doodled in his notebook, annoyed that Kisa was not at all jealous. Sensing that the man was angry, Kisaughed and said, ¡°You¡¯re so strange. When I get mad, you keep trying to coax me so that I stop being mad at you; but when I¡¯m not mad, you seem disappointed andOwned by N?velDrama.Org. crossed. You¡¯re so hard to understand sometimes, Gilbert.¡± ¡°Forget it. A heartless woman like you would never understand,¡± Gilbert said and hung up the phone angrily. ¡®I don¡¯t know why, but he¡¯s in such a particrly irritable mood today,¡® Kisa thought. She listened to the silence on the other end of the phone and said to herself, ¡®This man has quite the temper. If he wants to be angry, then so be it. I won¡¯t waste my time buttering him up.¡¯ In the study, Gilbert looked at the darkened phone screen and suddenly regretted hanging up the phone. He picked up the phone, hesitating whether to call Kisa back. He then felt even more furious when he thought of how the woman never took the initiative to call and try to coax him, let alone be soft on him. He was even questioning whether Kisa really loved him. He stared at his phone for a long time, but the woman still did not call or send a text to him. Annoyed, he tugged on the tie around his neck and called her again. He pursed his lips self¨Cmockingly and thought, ¡®I¡¯m always the one who gives in first.¡® Suddenly, the door to the study was pushed open just after the call was made. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 851 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 851 Chapter 851 Blocked Her Gilbert¡¯s face abruptly changed when seeing the personing in. He quickly ended the call with his fingers. Madalyn came over with chicken gnhi soup. She looked at his cell phone suspiciously, ¡°Who did you call just now?¡± ¡°No one.¡± Gilbert took the chicken gnhi soup and said, ¡°Grandma, why didn¡¯t you knock on the door before you came in?¡± Madalyn frowned, ¡°Why? Do you have something to hide from me? You didn¡¯t say anything when I came casually into your room before. Why are you fussing about it now?¡± Madalyn turned her attention to his mobile phone again as she said, ¡°Tell me. Who are you calling just now? Why are you afraid I¡¯ll hear it?¡± ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t be suspicious all the time. I was just on the phone with an unknown client.¡± Madalyn obviously did not believe it. Suddenly, a call rang at this moment. Madalyn hurried over to see. She saw the words ¡®Unknown Client¡® appear on the screen. Madalyn pursed her lips in embarrassment and looked at him, ¡°I¡¯m not suspicious either. Answer the phone quickly. Don¡¯t dy your business.¡± Unexpectedly, Gilbert did not answer the phone at all but hung up the call directly. Madalyn was stunned, ¡°Gilbert, what are you doing? Isn¡¯t this your client?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just an unknown, small¨Cscale client. Why should I bother? He is probably bothering me again because the cooperation has not been concluded.¡± Madalyn believed him. She nodded and said, ¡°You¡¯re right. Such small clients are really annoying. Block himter.¡± Gilbert took his phone and blocked that person as soon as Madalyn finished. In fact, he was afraid that the woman would call again. It would be miserable if Madalyn could not help but pick it up when the call kepting in. So it was safer to block the number. On the other end of the call, Kisa called Gilbert three times in a row. It rang several times before being hung up for the first time, while for the next two, it only rang for a second, and the busy tore ¡®Beep, beep¡® sounded. Apparently, Gilbert blocked her phone number. Kisa waspletely dumbfounded. She saw Gilbert¡¯s missed calls but did not pick them up. So she phoned him back, not expecting him ¡®shamelessly block her. ¡®I¡¯m angry!¡¯ It¡¯s unclear if she was wronged or just angry; Kisa¡¯s eyes started tearing up. ¡®It seems that all the good times during this time are really fake. After all, that man still has no patience with me. I swear I¡¯ll never take the initiative to talk to that man again!¡® She threw the phone aside and quickly picked up a magazine to relieve her mood. In the study, Madalyn looked at Gilbert kindly when he was drinking the chicken gnhi soup. She held the cane in both hands and said to Gilbert, ¡°I watched the entertainment news tonight. That woman is quite beautiful. Who is it?¡± ¡°She¡¯s Felicity, who runs a restaurant. I know her from Athadale.¡± ¡°Oh? What is her personality like? How is her family background?¡± Madalyn started delving more into the details. Gilbert was a little annoyed, but he didn¡¯t show it. He whispered, ¡°I don¡¯t know yet.¡± ¡°Check it out as soon as possible. Although that woman is beautiful, she is too flirtatious. She doesn¡¯t seem like someone who can live a stable life.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Seems like you and Kisa had really broken up. Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief.¡± Suddenly, Gilbert remembered Kisa telling him about her mom when they were at Athadale. He looked at Madalyn and said, ¡°Grandma, do I have anything to do with Kisa¡¯s mom?¡±N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 852 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 852 Chapter 852 Unsolvable Issue Madalyn was stunned for a while when Kisa¡¯s mom was suddenly mentioned. Then, her old brows frowned in displeasure. ¡°Why do you mention her mom when everything is nice?¡± ¡°I just want to know, did I have any rtionship with her mom when I was a child.¡± Owned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°No. That woman is a pest, and so is the daughter she gave birth to. From now on, don¡¯t mention them in front of me.¡± ¡°But why¡­¡± Gilbert thought about it but still asked directly, ¡°Why did Kisa tell me that her mom asked her to use her life to protect a man named ¡®Gilbert Kooper¡® before her mom passed away? Is me the ¡®Gilbert Kooper¡® that her mom mentioned?¡± Madalyn sneered when she heard this, ¡°Humph! Let her daughter guard you with her life? Does she have a guilty conscience? Luckily she died. If not, I would tell her that even if her daughter has a thousand or ten thousand lives, it is not enough topensate. Does she want to use this to make up to you? No way!¡± Gilbert grasped the main point in her words instantly..¡±Make up to me? What does it mean?¡± Gilbert asked hastily, ¡°Does her mom owe me anything?¡± Madalyn¡¯s face was dark, but she didn¡¯t say anything else. Gilbert was even more curious. He asked anxiously. ¡°Grandma, what do you mean by that?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Madalyn stood up, looked at Gilbert, and said earnestly, ¡°You just need to know that woman only hurt you instead of being a guardian by your side.¡± Madalyn walked toward the door with a cane after she finished. Gilbert stared at her stubborn back deeply. He knew she would not tell him anything even if he asked again. Madalyn came to the door and suddenly stopped. With a cane in one hand and the door in the other, she said to Gilbert in a deep voice, ¡°Gilbert, you¡¯d better break up with that woman. If¡­ I find out that you are lying to me, then¡­¡± Madalyn did not say any more. She just opened the door and walked out. However, Gilbert unconsciously felt a bit cold. ¡®Grandma¡¯s expression is more determined than ever. I couldn¡¯t even imagine what she would do if she knew that Kisa and I were acting to deceive her.¡¯ He leaned back in the chair tiredly, his face full of gloom. ¡®How can the issue between grandma and Kisa be solved?¡® Kisa returned to the set, continuing filming for the show the second day she came back to Calthon. After the lesson that day, Sharon behaved better and rarely talked to Kisa on the set, except for the scenes. Peter still visited from time to time, and his eyes were still locked on Jolina. Every time Peter came, Adrien tagged along. As the main investor for this film, it was usual for Adrien toe frequently and supervise the filming process. The strange thing was Gilbert also came to visit every day. Since the quarrel between her and Gilbert, she never talked to him again after she was cklisted by him. Besides, she also blocked him to get back at him. Apart from being able to see him on the set, she had nothing to do with him. During the intermission, she hid in a secluded corner to avoid being harassed by the man¡¯s eyes. It was an exterior shot today. The view and air in the suburbs were good in the spring and early summer. Kisa sat by a small pond and stared at the sparkling water. Suddenly, a cold and oppressive vibe enveloped her back as she frowned unhappily and turned to look. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 853 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 853 Chapter 853 Same Treatment to Avoid Suffering Of course! It was the man who always liked to have a gloomy face, as if someone owed him a lot of money. Kisa got annoyed when she saw Gilbert. ¡®What is the meaning of pestering me again since you blocked me?¡® Kisa did not even bother to give him a look as she stood up and walked to the set. Gilbert grabbed her wrist, ¡°Kisa, what¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, behave yourself.¡± Kisa broke away from his big hand and attempted to pass him. The man strode over and stood in front of her again. ¡°Why can¡¯t I get through your phone? Are you blocking me?¡± The man asked angrily. Kisa smiled brightly at him, ¡°Yes. I treated you in the same way as you won¡¯t have to suffer.¡± did. So you ¡°You!¡± Gilbert gasped in anger. But he suppressed his anger in the end and exined to her patiently, ¡°I didn¡¯t block you, I¡­¡± ¡°Ah! Gilbert, why are you hiding here secretly with this woman? Grandma will be dizzy with anger if she finds out you are still in a rtionship with her,¡± Sharon appeared out of nowhere and smiled meaningfully. Gilbert nced at her coldly. Sharon shrank her neck instantly, still a little afraid of this man. Adrien came here together with Sharon, smiled, and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think Mr. Kooper and Kisa have done anything. We all know each other. It¡¯s normal to exchange a few words; it would be weirder if you didn¡¯t even greet.¡± Sharon pursed her lips and remained silent. Kisa stepped back from Gilbert and moved to stand under a big tree. She smiled at Adrien and asked, ¡°Uncle Adrien, why are you here?¡± ¡°I saw the view here was pretty nice. So I walked around and ran into Ms. Case on the way here.¡± Gilbert took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. He said casually, ¡°I just want to find Ms. Becker to cooperate with a drama. But Ms. Becker is arrogant after bing the CEO of J & K Film Group. She can¡¯t be bothered by GK Pictures¡¯s cooperation. Humph! I underestimated her. Seems that my visit these few days has been useless.¡± Kisa looked at him and sincerely felt this man had excellent acting skills. ¡®He can lie without blinking an eye. No one will know his words are made up with his calm appearance. No wonder he can always put on an affectionate look in front of me.

Adrien followed him hastily, ¡°Hey, Mr. Kooper! Don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯ll cooperate with you if she doesn¡¯t want to.¡± ¡°Well, it would be great to cooperate with Mr. Tanner.¡± Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. Two of them walked away, talking andughing. Only Kisa and Sharon were left. As Kisa had the upper hand now. Sharon was scared to provoke her, giving Kisa a vicious look before leaving. Kisa did not have the mood to pay attention to Sharon. She stared at Gilbert¡¯s back which was already far for some time. But she became more annoyed and finally stopped watching. Fortunately, the man said he would stop visiting in the future. So she would not have to see him and worry about his pestering. Gilbert did exactly as he said he would and never went to the set again. On this day, the sky suddenly became dark and cloudy just as Kisa finished filming. Afraid of a sudden rainstorm, she drove home quickly, not daring to dy by staying outside. Unfortunately, rain began pouring down, apanied by lightning and thunder, as soon as she reached home. Kisa parked, got out of the car, covered her head with her bag, and rushed into the apartment. It was just that the rain was pouring too heavily, and Kisa was drenched just by walking a short distance. She hurried into the elevator, came to the door, and took out the key to open the door. But the door opened before the key could unlock the door. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 854 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 854 Chapter 854 You Should Be a Locksmith ¡°Aunty Kisa, you¡¯re back.¡± It was Andrew who opened the door for her. Kisa was dumbfounded. ¡®Why is he here? How did he get here? Didn¡¯t the Kooper family do anything?¡® Ada and ke also came over while Kisa was deep in thought. ¡°Aunty Kisa!¡± ¡°Aunty Kisa!¡± Kisa was petrified at the door for a long time before walking in. She hung the wet bag on the rack and asked them, ¡°How did youe here? Who sent you here?¡± ¡°Daddy brought us here.¡± Kisa froze while she was changing out her shoes. ¡®How can I forget that man has the key to this house? But why did he suddenly bring the kids over? Is it because I ignored him, so he wants to use the children to improve our rtionship?¡® ¡°Aunty Kisa, we miss you so much.¡± The children hugged her when she was thinking, but as Kisa was drenched, she hurriedly pushed them away and said with a smile, ¡°y by yourselves for a while. I need to change my clothes.¡± Kisa turned around and walked to her room as she said that. She caught a glimpse of Gilbert sitting on the couch. His face was cold and indifferent, showing no emotion. Kisa snorted coldly in her heart. ¡®This man seemed to still be angry. I didn¡¯t know who he was trying to show that cold look to. I would definitely throw this man out if the children were not here.¡® She strode back to her room after her annoyed eyes quickly nced at Gilbert. Kisa took a shower in the small bathroom of her room since he was in the living room. She could not help but frown when she came out of the bathroom wearing a bath towel, looking to the side in shock, seeing Gilbertzily leaning against the bathroom door. Kisa was startled. She looked at Gilbert and then at the room door she had just locked tightly. She asked angrily, ¡°H¨CHow¡­ did you get in again?¡± Gilbert straightened upzily, ¡°I get in when I want to. Is this that difficult?¡± Kisa gasped in anger. This man is outrageously arrogant!¡® She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°You should be a locksmith instead of the CEO of GK Pictures!¡± Gilbert snorted and suddenly approached her with deep eyes.

Do you want them to hear my voice?¡± ¡°You can shout. I¡¯m not afraid anyway.¡± ¡°You!¡± Kisa was so furious that she became speechless. e you ¡®He¡¯s not worthy of being a father at all. He doesn¡¯t think about his children at all.¡¯ Gilbert pressured Kisa to back up step¨Cby¨Cstep until the back of her knees touched the edge of the bed quickly, abruptly sitting down. The man leaned over with two powerful arms on her sides and locked her thin body in his arms. No longer able to withstand his oppressive posture and eyes, Kisa stared at him angrily, ¡°What are you up to? You blocked me first. Let¡¯s end it nicely in this case. What is trying to do by pestering me again? You even brought the children here. What are you trying to do¡­ Um!¡± The man dominantly blocked her lips and fiercely kissed her before she could finish talking. Kisa beat him angrily as she indignantly dodged his kisses, growling, ¡°G¨CGilbert¡­¡± However, Gilbert didn¡¯t listen at all. He even pressed her onto the bed to kiss her. Kisa struggled and screamed. Inadvertently, the bath towel around her body suddenly fell loose, defenselessly showing Gilbert her beautiful chest. Gilbert could not help but gape at the view. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 855 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 855 Chapter 855 I Can Give You My Life However, Kisa instantly felt the anger rushing straight to her forehead, and her face flushed red abruptly. She quickly raised her hand to cover her chest and burst into tears. ¡°Gilbert, you are too much!¡± Gilbert obviously had yet to recover from the shock. His pair of dark eyes aggressively lingered on her body. Kisa was furious that she kicked him. However, having good reflexes, not only did Gilbert avoid her kick, but also, her foot was grabbed by his big hand. In an instant, she was lying in front of him in an extremely embarrassed and ugly posture. Kisa was both ashamed and angry, wanting to pull back her feet, but the man held her tighter. She yelled unbearably, ¡°Let me go!¡± Right at that moment, there was a shout from outside the door suddenly, ¡°Daddy, Aunty Kisa, what are you doing?¡± Kisa¡¯s whole body tensed up, and her face turned even redder. A pair of watery eyes stared at the man in front of him hatefully, wishing she could kill him. But the man was calm andposed. He turned his eyes and smiled lightly toward the direction of the door, ¡°Daddy and Aunty Kisa are busy. You should continue watching your show.¡± ¡°Oh. Okay, Daddy.¡±Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Soon, no sound could be heard outside. Gilbert looked back at her with a smirk on his face, ¡°I told you not to yell loudly. Look, you¡¯ve startled the children.¡± Kisa refused to speak in her fury. She just grabbed the bath towel, covered herself indiscriminately, and tried to withdraw her foot. Gilbert trying to be bad, however, did not let go of her leg, instead grabbed her feet tighter and tickled her foot sole viciously a few times. Kisa was ticklish. She immediately twisted her body to resist, afraid and worried her yell would startle the kids again. Looking at Kisa¡¯s big reaction, Gilbert tickled her soles a few more times with a smirk. Kisa could not take it anymore as she kept twisting. She held back herughter until tears flowed out. Seeing that Gilbert wanted to scratch her again, she begged for mercy, ¡°No, stop tickling me. It¡¯s ticklish.¡± ¡°Tell me. Are you still going to block me?¡± Gilbert angrily gritted his teeth when mentioning this. This woman blocked him without even saying a word. Kisa, on the other hand, was furious too. She said in a muffled voice, ¡°I¡¯m not at fault here. You started¡­ Ah!¡± Kisa could not finish speaking before Gilbert started tickling her foot sole again. Kisa quickly shrank back and begged for mercy, ¡°N¨CNo. I won¡¯t block you anymore. S- Stop scratching.¡± Only when Kisa begged did Gilbert stop and release her foot. Seeing this opportunity, Kisa quickly wrapped herself in a bath towel and crawled into the bed, only revealing her head from the bed. She was ashamed, angry, and in a total mess, yet Gilbert looked well¨Cdressed and calm. The strong contrast made Kisa feel furious and ufortable. ¡®This is my home. How can hee and go freely every time to bully me?¡® The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more tears umted in her eyes. Finally, the vision in front of her eyes became blurred. In the haze, she seemed to see the panicked expression on the man¡¯s face. ¡®Well, I got it wrong again, right? He bullies her every time. How would he ever be nervous about her and feel sorry for her? The previous gentleness and consideration were all just an act.¡® Kisa, disappointed, wiped away her tears, hugged the quilt and her knees, and said nothing. The man walked over a few steps. He held her in his arms through the quilt. His tone was much softer than before, ¡°Alright, stop crying. It was my fault just now.¡± Kisa ignored him. Gilbert pursed his lips and said again, ¡°Honestly, it¡¯s your fault for being too stubborn. I can even give you my life if you could give in to me a little.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 856 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 856 Chapter 856 Self-Reproach and Hubris Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat, but when she thought this man was full of lies, she fought back her raptness. ¡®He always lies as if it were true. The truth is, I really don¡¯t understand him anymore.¡® Seeing that Kisa was still angry, Gilbert stroked her wet hair and said, ¡°Come on, don¡¯t be angry. I didn¡¯t mean to block you. My grandmother was next to me at the time, and I was afraid she would answer the call. That was why I blocked you for a short while. If I had known you would be so angry, I wouldn¡¯t have blocked you.¡± He spoke with sincerity and remorse. As angry as Kisa was, she did not go to the point of being unreasonable. ¡°You were with your grandma?¡± Kisa looked at him. Gilbert nodded. ¡°Mhm, I regretted it after I hung up the phone. I wanted to call your back to say sorry, but then Grandma came in. I was afraid that she would find out about our rtionship, so that was why I did that.¡± Kisa said nothing, her silence seemingly as if assessing the credibility of his words. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s my fault; I¡¯m useless. I haven¡¯t been able to clear up the misunderstanding between Grandma and you. I said I would make Grandma ept you, but I still don¡¯t have a clue how to do that. I¡¯m really useless¡­¡± Gilbert suddenly sounded dejected and med himself. He was confident and arrogant, and his sudden self¨Cdenial left Kisa ufortable. Compared to this, she liked a confident and arrogant Gilbert more. Seeing that he was still ming himself, Kisa could not stand it and said, ¡°Well, you can¡¯t be med for this. After all, your grandmother is unwilling to talk about the past, and we don¡¯t know where to start. I don¡¯t me you for being unable to solve it, as the misunderstanding between your grandmother and me is a real dead end.¡± ¡°So you are not angry anymore?¡± he asked tentatively. Kisa said nothing. She was less angry now but still upset when she thought of his outrageous behavior just now. Seeing her silence, Gilbert pursed his lips and said no more, just got up and walked away. Kisa snorted when Gilbert left, thinking, ¡®See, he just doesn¡¯t have much patience.¡® But he came back with a hair dryer in his hand. ¡°You need to dry your hair quickly. It is not good to let it stay wet for too long,¡± Gilbert said softly, then plugged the hairdryer into a power source and thoughtfully blew her hair. Kisa said nothing, but deep down inside, she was emotionally touched. ¡®He always seems to have a way of stirring my emotions,¡® she said in her mind. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. The three children were bored watching TV in the living room. So Andrew and Ada went to the door of Kisa¡¯s room to eavesdrop on what their father and Kisa were doing. As they got there, the door suddenly opened. Kisa looked at the two children and was transfixed for a second. ¡°What are you two doing here?¡± Ada hurriedly looked away. ¡°Nothing. I just happened to pass by here.¡± She then walked toward the kitchen in all seriousness. Kisa shook her head in amusement and then looked at Andrew. Andrew bent down to pick up a toy car on the floor. ¡°My toy car ran this way. I came to pick it up.¡± He then ran toward ke. As much as that serious look on their faces amused Kisa, they also reminded her of a serious problem. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 857 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 857 Chapter 857 Surprises and Scares Gilbert came out from the room, and Kisa quickly pushed him back in, whispering to him, ¡°Does Grandma know you brought Andrew and Ada here?¡± Gilbert nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Then wouldn¡¯t she know you are still seeing me? And how would she be willing to let Andrew and Ada come here?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry. It is thanks to ke.¡± ¡°ke?¡± She was puzzled. Gilbert smiles. ¡°Everyone loves ke, and Grandma is no exception. So I took ke to the Kooper residence to meet Grandma first. ke told Grandma he wanted to invite Andrew and Ada to y at his ce, and Grandma agreed without thinking. Since she knew ke stayed at Jensen¡¯s ce, I brought the children to your house, but Grandma would only think they were at Jensen¡¯s. Besides, I have also given Jensen a heads¨Cup.¡± ¡°No wonder.¡± Kisa nodded. Gilbert doted on her, stroking her long, silky hair, and whispered, ¡°You haven¡¯t seen the children for a long time. You can get together with them this time. Besides, they missed you so much that they were so excited while on the way here.¡± Owned by N?velDrama.Org. It warmed Kisa¡¯s heart to hear that. She thought it would be perfect if these children were Gilbert¡¯s and hers. Unfortunately, she knew it was just her wishful thinking. She felt mncholic at the thought of this. It was still raining cats and dogs outside. The sky was dark, and the wind waved the tree branches downstairs as if in a raucous ballgame celebration. But it was entirely a different scene inside the house. The in curtains isted the interior from the wind and rain noises outside. The house was lit with warm incandescent lights, and from time to time, there was a nging in the kitchen as Gilbert was cooking inside. In the living room, Andrew and ke were ying with their new toys in front of the coffee table, and Kisa was sitting with Ada on the couch, reading a storybook. Everything was so warm and peaceful. Before long, Gilbert brought out his prepared meal. He looked at the scene in the living room almost fondly and understood for the first time that this was what happiness looked like. Gilbert looked at the tenderness on Kisa¡¯s face and secretly decided in his mind. ¡°Come over and eat,¡± he called out to them with a smile as he served the food on the table. Kisa got up at once and hurried the children to wash their hands. She came to the table, saw the table full of food, and could not help but be impressed with him. She clearly remembered that Gilbert could not cook back then. But after doing it a few times, he could now create a feast, and it looked so good. Gilbert poured Kisa a ss of juice. It was still thundering outside. He looked at the sky through a gap in the curtains and suddenly said to her, ¡°Your birthday ising up, right?¡± He remembered she had told him she was born on a thunderstorm night. The children looked at Kisa in unison upon hearing that. ¡°When is your birthday, Ma¡¯am?¡± ¡°What do you want as a gift, Ma¡¯am? We will buy you gifts.¡± Gilbert quickly interrupted them. ¡°Come on, gift¨Cgiving is my business. You guys hurry up and eat.¡± The children muffled theirughter and then buried their heads in their tes. Kisa rubbed her nose awkwardly. ¡°Why mention my birthday for no reason?¡± ¡°What gift do you like?¡± Gilbert suddenly asked in a matter¨Cof¨Cfact way. ¡°I want nothing. Hurry up and eat. Why mention those useless things?¡± Kisa had not celebrated her birthday in a long time, as for her, her birthday was no different from any other day. Gilbert suddenly took her hands, which were resting on her knees. ¡°I will give you a surprise on your birthday.¡± ¡°Do you mean scares?¡± Kisa smiled. Gilbert shook his head and said unusually seriously, ¡°That surprise is better than all the gifts in this world. You will love it.¡° Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 858 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 858 Chapter 858 My Last Gamble He decided to tell her about Andrew¡¯s and Ada¡¯s identity on her birthday. At first, he was afraid she would use the children to help Jensen against him. But after spending so many days with her, he felt maybe it was really him who had misunderstood her. He realized that there was really nothing between her and Jensen, and if she really liked Jensen, she would not have made up and even been so intimate with him. Not only that, he could also see that she really liked those two children. So he still wanted to take a gamble. ¡®If I win, then the family of four will be reunited in a real sense. If I lose, then I will ept it as fate. I will never love her again if Kisa uses the child against me. I will consider this as myst gamble, with the children as the wager. If I win, the reward would be our happiness; if I lose¡­.¡® He lowered his eyes, forcing himself not to overthink and holding her hand tighter. Kisa looked at his hands in puzzlement. After a while, she asked, ¡°What is wrong with you? Aren¡¯t you eating?¡± Gilbert let out a smile. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s eat.¡± But he still did not let go of her hand. Kisa did not mind but just let him hold it that way. Although she cared little about special asions like her birthday, the surprise Gilbert mentioned still intrigued her. She swallowed the food in her mouth and smiled at him. ¡°What is that surprise you were talking about? Can you reveal a bit of it?¡± Gilbert smiled tenderly at her, and she smiled back, expecting him to reveal a few words. But he just put two pieces of meat on her te and said matter¨Cof¨Cfactly, ¡°Eat up. Be good. You will know on your birthday.¡± Kisa pouted, wondering what was so secretive about it. ¡°How do you know when my birthday is?¡± ¡°I just know. Isn¡¯t it thest day of next month?¡± She did not expect Gilbert to know when her birthday was, as she had just told him once when she was young. He said he would send her a bouquet of beautiful chrysanthemums at that time. But he never did. So, she always thought that he had never taken her birthday to heart. But it turned out that after all these years, he still remembered it. ¡°Come on, eat.¡± Gilbert could not help but gently pat her back, seeing that she had been frozen still. ¡°I have not once spent your birthday with you. This time, I will let you have the most memorable birthday in your life.¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Because of the mystery and promise that Gilbert created, Kisa gradually began to look forward to her birthday. And indeed, as Gilbert said, her uing birthday would be one of the most memorable in her life, only that it was a heartbreaking one¨Cso much so that she would experience an indescribable fear and repulsion of the word ¡®birthday¡® for the rest of her life. And also,ter on, she would learn that her birthday was a day that many people hated and were in misery. The next month, Kisa¡¯s filming work became busier and busier. But she felt good, as her life was fulfilling. She spent her days shooting and her nights on the phone with Gilbert for hours. She did not know why she and Gilbert had so much to discuss. Every time she called, he seemed to have an endless supply of things to say to her, and every time he would only hang up the phone after she fell asleep. This month, she and Gilbert were more and more like a typical couple in love. When they had free time, they would get dressed up and go out on dates. Such happy and sweet days continued until her birthday. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 859 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 859 Chapter 859 Her Birthday On the day of her birthday, even the weather was on her side. The sky had been pouring rain since morning, turning the atmosphere white velvet. So the crew had the day off, and she could prepare for her birthday. Kisa attached little importance to her birthday. So on this day, she did not decorate her house but just bought a lot of ingredients, thinking it would be enough to cook a nice meal at home and then enjoy the moment with Gilbert. Kisa brought all the ingredients she had bought into the kitchen. Her body was soaked through, along with the groceries, as it was pouring outside when she came home. After putting the ingredients in the kitchen, she went straight to the bathroom to shower. When she came out of the shower, she subconsciously nced at her phone and found that Gilbert had called her twice. She called back at once, taking the phone and waiting for him to answer while she walked toward the kitchen, intending to sort out the ingredients. The call was quickly answered, and Gilbert¡¯s gentleughter came. ¡°Hey, what are you doing now?¡± ¡°Sorting out the ingredients.¡± Kisa held her phone against her ear with her shoulder, freeing both hands to work on the seafood. ¡°Why don¡¯t you just leave it until Ie over? You are the birthday girl today, you know,¡± Gilbert said with amusement. ¡°It is alright. I¡¯m free today anyway since I¡¯m not filming,¡± Kisa said. ¡°By the way, do you want to bring Andrew and Ada over for dinner when youe?¡± ¡°No. Grandma said she was taking them to a ce and said it was important.¡± Kisa said nothing upon hearing that but just asked, ¡°What about you? What are you doing now?¡± In fact, she wanted to ask him when he wasing over. But she did not want to make it sound obvious. Gilbert sat in his office chair, his hand twirling his pen, his eyes ncing at the gray, rainy sky. ¡°I¡¯m preparing for meetings. There are a few important meetings today, so I may bete. What kind of cake do you like?¡± he asked. ¡°Cake?¡± Kisa¡¯s voice was now gentle, which Gilbert especially loved to hear. ¡°I have no particr preference. Just buy a pink one, a smaller one, as we can¡¯t finish if it is too big. It is just ceremonial.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Gilbert whispered in response, his eyes gentle. Kisa put the seafood in the water, pursed her lips, and held her phone, stammering,¡± My birthday is here, and the surprise you mentioned¡­.¡± ¡°What is the hurry? I will tell you when I see you. I don¡¯t want to miss your excited look.¡± ¡°You make it sound so amazing. Let¡¯s see if I will be excited.¡± Still not giving up, she thought about it but could not think of anything else that would excite her now. She had experienced so many things, and it seemed few things could thrill her. ¡°Just wait for it. If you are excited, then promise me you will never leave me.¡± Heughed wickedly. ¡°Okay. But if I¡¯m not excited by that surprise of yours, you will have to listen to me on everything from now on.¡± ¡°Okay, deal.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to prepare the ingredients now. You get busy.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Gilbert hung up the phone, feeling a bit better now. Perhaps it was the weather; he felt extra uneasy today as if sensing something terrible would happen. That was why he could not resist calling Kisa. Her gentle voice seemed to have a magical power to soothe his heart, instantly dispelling his restlessness and anxiety. By about 10 am, the rain finally let up, but the sky over the cemetery was still cloudy.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 860 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 860 Chapter 860 Death Anniversary Madalyn stood in front of two tombstones with a sad face. They were the tombstones of her son and daughter-inw, whom she had not visited during the years she was in aa. Gilbert did not even know these two tombstones existed and was even less likely to visit them. In the past few years, only George had paid visits and cleaned them up a bit. Madalyn looked at the two bright, young, smiling faces in the photos, which were embedded in the tombstones, her heart full of sorrow. She could never forget that day, the car ident that brought her grief and despair. She bent forward slightly, her hands trembling as she wiped the photos on the tombstones. When she spoke, her frail voice was choked with grief. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It took so long for me toe to see you two.¡± Madalyn¡¯s hunched back looked frail in the chilly wind. George held the umbre with one hand and gently supported her with the other. The few ck umbres looked particrly mournful in the cemetery. Madalyn cried for a long time before forcing a smile. ¡°It has been a long time since I came to see you two, but I have a surprise for you this time,¡± Madalyn said and brought Andrew and Ada in front of the tombstones. Andrew and Ada wore raincoats and rain hats so they did not get wet. The two children looked at the two tombstones in confusion, not quite understanding what this was all about. ¡°Damon, Cynthia, look, these are your grandchildren, Gilbert¡¯s children. Take a good look. They look so much like Gilbert,¡± Madalyn said, but her tears could not stop falling down. ¡°If you two were still alive, you would have seen them. They are really wonderful children. You two will love them.¡± She was so sad that she could not stop sobbing at the end of her sentence. Andrew tugged at the corner of her coat and whispered, ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t cry, or they will be upset.¡± ¡°Ya, Grandma. We will behave ourselves. Don¡¯t you cry.¡± Madalyn stroked their heads, looked at the photos on the tombstones, and said, ¡± They are your grandparents.¡± ¡°Grandparents?¡± Confusion filled Andrew¡¯s little face. ¡°They are our grandparents? Why did Daddy never mention them to us?¡± Ada asked in puzzlement. Madalyn did not know how to answer this question. Because of Gilbert¡¯s mental Chapter 860 Death Anniversary 2/2 Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. trauma, she never once mentioned his parents in front of him. ¡®Everyone has parents, but Gilbert grew up never asking about his parents, not even mentioning them. Perhaps he shuts himself from everything about his parents. He has not once visited their grave all these years.¡¯ Thinking of this, she just could not stop feeling sad, and all this was because of that woman and that woman¡¯s daughter. So, she would never let that woman¡¯s daughter be with Gilbert. She patted Andrew and Ada on their heads and said, ¡°You two will get the answer when you grow up. Listen to me; say hello to them, as they like you two very much.¡± Andrew and Ada nodded and said, ¡°Hello, Grandpa, Grandma.¡± Madalyn looked at the photos on the headstones, tears blurring her eyes. She felt as if her son and daughter¨Cinw were smiling now, and they must love their grandchildren very much. As she left the cemetery, she spoke again to Andrew and Ada.

Madalyn sighed and said, ¡°Because if you tell your daddy, he will be very upset, you know?¡± The two children nodded their heads in acknowledgment. As they sat in the car, Andrew and Ada could not help but look back toward the cemetery. ¡®So they were our grandparents,¡® they both thought to themselves. ¡°Great¨CGrandma, will you bring Ada and me to see our grandparents again?¡± Andrew asked.

As the car arrived at the Kooper residence and pulled into the car porch, Madalyn saw someonee up to her before she even got out of the car. She could not help but frown with disgust. ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡± The person was Sharon, who solicitously wanted to help Madalyn get out of the car. But Madalyn did not appreciate it. She avoided Sharon and let George help her. Sharon narrowed her eyes sinisterly and sneered in her mind, ¡®I will see if you can still be proud of yourselfter.¡® ¡°Why are you ring at my great¨Cgrandma?¡± Suddenly, Ada snapped at Sharon with an angry question. Ada¡¯s voice was so distinctive that Madalyn, who was not far ahead, heard it, and her face turned stern instantly. She said to George, ¡°Get that woman out of here. She is no longer a GK artist and has nothing to do with GK or the Kooper family. And tell the servants not to let in any Tom, Dick, and Harry next time.¡± ¡°Aye.¡± George responded and ordered his subordinates to kick Sharon out. ¡°Please don¡¯t, Grandma. I¡¯m here to tell you a secret about Gilbert and that b*tch,¡± Sharon quickly said. Madalyn did not want to listen to her nonsense. ¡°Kick her out of here!¡± Sharon was even more anxious. ¡°In fact, Gilbert has been lying to you all this time.

It really startled them. ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., don¡¯t do that. You are scaring them,¡± George hurriedly said. Feeling sad, Madalyn closed her eyes for a second and said to George, ¡°You bring them into the house now.¡± George nodded and brought Andrew and Ada upstairs.

Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have dared toe to you.¡± Sharon grunted and took out her phone, showing a photo to Madalyn. ¡°Look at this first.¡± Madalyn took the phone with a sullen face. The photo was a snapshot of intimate text messages between Gilbert and Kisa. Sharon sneered. ¡°You can scroll down. There are many more intimate conversations and call history between Gilbert and that woman, which I had someone take pictures of from the woman¡¯s phone.¡± Madalyn browsed through the photos one by one, her creased hands shivering involuntarily. Seeing Madalyn¡¯s reaction, Sharon let out a triumphant smile. ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you, am I?

Conversations and calls like this are the easiest to fake by just changing the names.¡± ¡°Heh, I knew you wouldn¡¯t believe me so easily, so I brought something else with me,¡± Sharon said, took out a few more photos from her handbag, and handed them to Madalyn. ¡°Take a look at these. A while ago, Gilbert went to Athadale on the pretext of meeting a client, but he was going there to see that b*tch. The two of them were having a great time in Athadale. Also, didn¡¯t Gilbert bring a sexyContent rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. woman back in front of the media? Huh, she isn¡¯t Gilbert¡¯s new love, but a girl whom Gilbert introduced to Davian. You didn¡¯t expect that, did you?¡± Madalyn looked at the photos in her hands, anger filling her eyes. The photos were of a man and a woman holding hands and hugging each other. Even though they were both wearing masks, she could recognize that it was Gilbert and Kisa at first nce. In the photos, they were posing in front of the roller coaster, not even wearing masks and hats, and the man was intimately carrying the woman in his arms. They were none other than Gilbert and Kisa. Perhaps because of anger or grief, Madalyn¡¯s body trembled. Sharon smiled at her. ¡°You didn¡¯t expect Gilbert to work with that woman to deceive you, did you? It seems that the woman has bewitched him. If this goes on, she will ruin Gilbert¡¯s life eventually.¡± Madalyn said nothing, her frail and angry eyes only ring at the photos in her hand. It hurt her to the core, even more so when she thought of her son and her daughter¨Cin w, who died tragically. Seeing Madalyn¡¯s increasingly saddened face, Sharon was pleased with herself. She opened her mouth and was about to say something when Madalyn suddenly shouted at the maid, ¡°Get this woman out of here!¡± Sharon¡¯s face changed abruptly. ¡°What are you doing? I¡¯m telling you the truth, and the evidence is there. Don¡¯t you believe me? Mrs. Kooper Sr¡­ Mrs. Kooper Sr¡­¡± Madalyn ignored Sharon and had her servants chase Sharon out of the door. She only looked at the photos in her hand mournfully, her face ashen. Suddenly, sheughed morosely. ¡°Gilbert, since you have deceived me so much, don¡¯t me me for what will happen next.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 863 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 863 Chapter 863 Found the Warden Andrew and Ada were lying on the window ledge of their room. They were relieved to see the maid kick Sharon out of the house. ¡°That bad woman has been kicked out, so Daddy should be fine, right?¡± Ada asked. ¡°Should be. Since Great¨CGrandma loves Daddy so much, she won¡¯t listen to that bad woman.¡± Ada nodded her head and felt relieved. Children always think too simply and naively; how nice would it be if adults could be like them. In the CEO¡¯s office of GK Pictures, Davian ced the meeting summary on Gilbert¡¯s desk and said to the tired¨Clooking Gilbert, ¡°Mr. Kooper, I will do the rest of the work. You go celebrate your wife¡¯s birthday.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Gilbert pinched his sore brow, then got up to put on his jacket. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something. ¡°By the way, since I asked you to follow Jensen¡¯s men to find that warden, have things progressed?¡± Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Davian shook his head and frowned. ¡°I almost forgot about it if you didn¡¯t ask.¡± ¡°How so?¡± Gilbert asked in a deep voice as he straightened his shirt cor. ¡°Jensen either did not send anyone to find the warden or did it too stealthily. Our men didn¡¯t find him sending anyone to look for the warden.¡± ¡°How can this be?¡± Gilbert wrinkled his brow. ¡°Maybe Jensen really does it stealthily, and those men he sent are mysterious and in deep cover, so much so that our men couldn¡¯t find them.¡± Gilbert did not think so, as his men were all no slouches. If Jensen had really sent someone to find the warden, it was impossible for his men not to sniff them out.¡® Could it be that Jensen really didn¡¯t send anyone to find the warden? But Kisa clearly told me that Jensen did and had made a great deal of progress. So what is going on? Why did Jensen lie to Kisa, and what was his purpose? Or am I really overthinking it, or maybe Jensen is really so sophisticated that I can¡¯t understand what he is doing, so he can do things so discreetly that I can¡¯t find the slightest signs?¡® The thought of this bothered him. The rain had stopped when Gilbert walked out of the GK International Building. But the sky was still dark and dreary, so much so that it looked like 7.00 pm, although it was only 3:00 p.m. Gilbert got in his car and went straight to a nearby bakery. He had ordered a cake at noon and was just in time to pick it up. He listened to Kisa and ordered an eight¨Cinch pink cake, which was cute, thinking Kisa would like it. cing the cake on the front passenger seat, he took out his cell phone to call her, but she called him instead. He smiled and answered the phone. ¡°Hey, Gilbert, Jensen found the warden.¡± She sounded slightly urgent. Gilbert¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°Found the warden?¡± It was strange that he was not excited at all but uneasy upon hearing this news. ¡°Where is that warden now?¡± he asked. ¡°I¡¯ve got no clue. Jensen said he would bring the warden to see meter.¡± Kisa paused a second and continued. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would be the first to be notified when the warden was found? So I¡¯m telling you now.¡± It wasforting for Gilbert to hear that. At least now, he was not as uneasy as before. ¡°I¡¯m on my way to your ce now.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Just as he hung up, his phone rang again. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 864 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 864 Chapter 864 Endless Walt Gilbert lowered his eyes and looked at the caller ID on the phone screen; it was the Kooper residence¡¯s landline number. A bad feeling washed through him, and he answered the phone with a frown. ¡°Mr. Kooper,e back quickly. Something has happened to Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡± It was George speaking. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert¡¯s heart sank, and he subconsciously gripped his cell phone. George was still on the phone, sobbing, seemingly in grief. Gilbert tensed up, his hand on the steering wheel shivering. He made a sudden U¨Cturn and sped off toward the Kooper residence, and that abrupt change of direction flung the box off the seat onto the foot well, smashing the cake inside into a lump of creamy mess, just like something important in his heart shattered into pieces and could not be put together again. Kisa had already prepared the meal. The table was full of delicious dishes that gave out an appetizing aroma, but there was no one at the table. She was sitting straight on the couch, staring out the window in a daze, feeling restless inside. She wrung her hands anxiously while waiting for Jensen and Gilbert to arrive. There was a wall clock on the wall. She looked up at it and saw that it was sometime after four. She had just spoken to Gilbert over the phone an hour ago, and Gilbert said he was on his way and would be with her soon. But an hour had passed, and he should have arrived long ago. Whether he departed from the GK International Building or the Kooper residence, an hour was long enough. So she wondered why he had not arrived. She wanted to call him and ask where he was but was afraid he was driving. She did not dare to disturb him driving in this weather for fear of causing an ident. Kisa pursed her lips, clenched her hands, and continued to wait. But as time passed, the restlessness in her got stronger. She hated this kind of waiting; it felt so uneasy as if there was no end to it. Another half hour passed, and Gilbert had still not shown up. She clenched her hands, leaned forward to pick up the phone on the coffee table, and called him. The phone rang, but no one answered. She frowned and redialed again, but still, no one answered. This time, she could not sit still anymore and hurriedly got up to go outside. ¡®One and a half hours have passed, and Gilbert should have arrived a long time ago. Even if not, he couldn¡¯t have not answered my phone. Unless¡­ Unless something has happened.¡® The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She went to the cab by the door, and opened it to take out an umbre. CLAP! Just as Kisa took the umbre out, a loud thunderp sounded in the sky. Kisa shuddered and looked out the window in awe. It was almostpletely dark, and the sky was so dreadful that it looked like it would copse. A strong sense of unease and fear surged inside her to the lightning shes and thunder pping. Her eyes started to well up with emotions. Suddenly, she hated Gilbert for not keeping his word. ¡®He said he woulde right away, but he never did. He keeps me waiting with anxiety and fear. He said he wanted to surprise me, but that so¨Ccalled surprise is slowly turning into a scare. I don¡¯t want any surprises. I just want him to appear in front of me now.¡® She wiped her tears with her arm, then hurriedly pulled open the door and walked out. Just as she reached the elevator, the elevator doors opened. She was too stunned to speak when she saw the people inside the elevator. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 865 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 865 Chapter 865 i Cannot Wait Too Long for You Jensen pulled a man out of the elevator, followed by Adrien. The man was about the same age as Adrien, medium built, with a very whiteplexion. He looked so white that it seemed unnaturally sickly. The man had small eyes, and they were evasive, darting around with fear and anxiety. Jensen had the man¡¯s hands cuffed. He pulled on the handcuffs and brought the man in front of Kisa. Kisa subconsciously took a step back and looked at Jensen. ¡°He¡­ He is the warden?¡± Jensen nodded. ¡°You can ask him questions about that fire back then.¡± Kisa looked at the warden and was transfixed. Perhaps because of Gilbert¡¯s absence, she felt uneasy. After entering the house, Kisa poured a ss of water for Jensen and Adrien each. Adrien took the water and sat down on the couch while Jensen kicked the warden in the crook of his leg, sending the warden to drop to his knees. ¡°Please don¡¯t kill me. Please don¡¯t kill me.¡± The warden prostrated himself to the floor, begging for mercy. Kisa looked at Jensen. She had many questions in her mind but did not know where to start. Jensen took the water she handed him and said, ¡°This warden has been hunted for years. It took my men some time to find him. Perhaps because of the years of hiding, he became very timid, always thinking that others wanted to kill him.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and looked down at the man on the floor. She was still waiting for Gilbert toe over because she wanted to ask about the prison fire together with Gilbert. She looked at her phone and saw that Gilbert had still not called or returned her messages. Jensen nced at her with mixed emotions in his eyes. ¡°Are you waiting for Gilbert?¡± Kisa pursed her lips and said nothing. Jensen could almost guess it. But he said nothing and just sat down on the couch as Adrien did. Adrien nced over at the table and smiled at Kisa. ¡°You can cook? Those dishes look pretty good.¡± Kisa chuckled. ¡°Just a casual meal. I learned those dishes online, but I am not sure if they taste good. You guys haven¡¯t eaten yet, have you? Why don¡¯t you all eat here?¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. ¡°No thanks. I can tell, at a nce, you are waiting for a more important person toe over for dinner. We aren¡¯t going to join you guys.¡± Adrien, like an elder, said jokingly. Kisa pursed her lips and smiled with embarrassment. ¡°Don¡¯t make fun of me, Uncle Adrien. Let¡¯s eat togetherter.¡± Although she was smiling, her hand gripped the phone tighter. ¡®Gilbert, when are you going toe over? I may not be able to wait for you much longer.¡® Jensen saw her anxiety and lowered his eyes to do away with all the emotions in his eyes. He knew that today was Kisa¡¯s birthday, and she was waiting for Gilbert. If he could, he would not have brought this warden over today because he still preferred her to have a happy birthday. It was just a pity that the hatred and obsession of someone were so intense that he refused to cut them some ck. Jensen could not help but shoot a nce at Adrien, clenching his hands at his sides. When the clock pointed to 6:30 pm, Kisa closed her eyes for a while and then called Gilbert one more time. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 866 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 866 Chapter 866 He Wanted to Kill the Warden She told herself that if Gilbert still did not answer the call, she would not wait for him. The phone soon came through, and it was ringing, but Gilbert still did not answer. She chuckled with sadness, thinking, ¡®So this is the surprise you gave me? He vowed that day to be with me on my birthday. But he broke his promise. He could have called if he had an emergency. Why keep me waiting so anxiously?¡® The waiting had now turned into resentment; Kisa took a deep breath and put the phone away. The warden had crawled over to the cab and leaned against it, his eyes darting around with fear and caution. Kisa walked over slowly and squatted down in front of him while Jensen got up and stood behind her, seemingly afraid that the warden would harm her. Kisa pursed her lips and then asked the warden in a deep voice, ¡°Do you remember the fire at Calthon Women¡¯s Prison a few years ago?¡± The warden shuddered and then suddenly burst into tears at the mention of the prison fire. Kisa looked at him with a frown and heard him slurring, ¡°The fire, I remember. Of course, I remember. T-The most regrettable thing I have done in my life is to conspire with someone to set that fire.¡± Kisa was shocked at hearing the warden¡¯s confession that he was rted to the fire. She quickly asked, ¡°Who did you conspire with?¡± ¡°M¨CMr. Kooper, t¨Cthat powerful man, CEO of GK Pictures.¡± The revtion came as a bolt from the blue. Kisa was transfixed in ce and heard nothing that the warden said subsequently. Only Gilbert¡¯s name was lingering in her ears. ¡®He said that he was conspiring with Gilbert to set the fire. Gilbert? How could it be Gilbert?¡® She red at the warden and hissed, ¡°You better tell me the truth, or I will chop off your hands and feet and feed them to the dogs.¡± Kisa rarely showed such a sinister look; the warden was visibly shaken. ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth. That man was the one who ordered me to start a fire in prison and make it look like an ident. Because of this, he hunted me for years. I always hope he will be punished as soon as possible, so I don¡¯t have to hide anymore. That hypocrite clearly said that after it was done, he would pay me with a sum of money that couldst me a lifetime. But that day, he asked me to go up a hill; he wanted me dead. I was injured and ran for my life, even rolling down the hill. But I survived. Since then, I have gone into hiding. But after all these years, he still hasn¡¯t stopped hunting me. Recently, I was again pursued by a group of men, from whose conversation I knew it Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. was Gilbert who sent them. They said that they had to bring me back before Jensen did, and if I resisted, they would just kill me. I would have been long dead if Jensen¡¯s men hadn¡¯t saved me in time.¡± Kisa¡¯s body stiffened as she listened to the warden¡¯s wailing. The phrase ¡®they had to bring me back before Jensen did¡® was ringing in her ears. It reminded her of that night in Athadale. That day, she heard Gilbert talking on the phone by the hotel room window, saying that he must find the warden before Jensen did. It turned out that he wanted to silence the warden by killing him. She could not stop trembling at the thought of this. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 867 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 867 Chapter 867 He Wants Her to Die a Horrible Death After spending the past days with Gilbert, she still could not believe what the warden said. She kept thinking of reasons to disprove the warden¡¯s usation. She clenched her hands and said tensely, ¡°I found two of your jailers who said Gilbert had nothing to do with the fire.¡± Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What do they know? They were just taking my orders, and it was I who liaised with. Gilbert. At first, I didn¡¯t dare to do it, but Gilbert promised he would take all responsibility for it in case things went wrong. I asked him why he did it and why he had to burn the woman named Kisa; he said he hated her and would only be happy to see her die a horrible death.¡± He would only be happy to see me die a horrible death? Heh, did he really say that? Were all the tenderness and affection he had shown me all these days a lie? But why did he have to go to such lengths to deceive me if it was a lie? If he really hated me, he could have just taken revenge on me by killing me straight away. Why bother beating around the bush?¡® She could not breathe from intense grief but still stubbornly looked for excuses. ¡°The two jailers had said it was a woman who talked to you in the office at the time, and it wasn¡¯t Gilbert at all.¡± ¡°A woman? I remember now. Back then, to persuade me, Mr. Kooper presented me with a beautiful woman,¡± the warden said, with embarrassment on his face. ¡°Those two jailers are probably talking about that woman.¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°They said that a woman told them to mislead me at the door, and they had never seen Gilbert. How could the fire be rted to him then?¡± Kisa asked. Immediately after, she cried out, ¡°I warn you again, you better tell me the truth, or I will really chop off your hands and feet.¡± Jensen¡¯s face turned stern as he narrowed his eyes. ¡°If you dare to lie, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death.¡± The warden trembled and cried out, ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth. My life is in your hands now, so why would I lie to you? And why do you have to think I¡¯m telling lies but have never thought of suspecting the two jailers?¡± The warden¡¯s words sounded like a wake¨Cup call. ¡®Yeah, why not suspect the two jailers?¡® Kisa asked in her mind, suddenly remembering the perverse and strange reaction of the two jailers when they saw Gilbert. ¡®If the two jailers had never seen Gilbert, why did they act so afraid when they first saw him at Hillsby? Moreover, what made them conclude that the fire had nothing to do with Gilbert? When they saw Gilbert, why did their eyes look so evasive, as if¡­ as if Gilbert had threatened them with something?¡® She did not dare to think about it, but what happened at Hillsby was all really weird. She covered her temples, which were in severe pain, feeling as if she was swept into a horrible whirlpool. Fear, confusion, and despair hit her at once. She suddenly became breathless, going weak at the knees, and fell backward. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 868 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 868 Chapter 868 The So-Called Truth ¡°Kisa!¡± Jensen called out, rushing to catch her falling body. Kisa¡¯s vision went dark. In the darkness, she kept running and shouting Gilbert¡¯s name, desperate to see him, wanting to get rification from him. But there was nothing but darkness in front of her eyes. It seemed that no matter how fast she¡¯ran, she could not find the light, and no matter how loud she shouted, Gilbert would not appear. ¡°Kisa, Kisa, wake up, Kisa.¡± ¡®Who is it? Who is calling me with such an anxious voice?¡® She struggled to open her eyes, and her vision was still blurry. When her vision got better, she saw Jensen¡¯s anxious eyes. ¡°Are you alright, Kisa?¡± It hurt Jensen to see her reddened eyes. Kisa looked at him, dumbfounded, tears slipping from the corners of her eyes. ¡°I couldn¡¯t believe what he said¡­ he said Gilbert was the one who was behind the prison fire. How is that possible?¡± She spoke with a trembling and sobbing voice. She sounded so heartbreakingly fragile that Jensen could not help but hug her tightly. He whispered to comfort her, ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. Nothing is confirmed N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. yet. We will ask Gilbert when we see him.¡± Kisa choked back a sob and said nothing. Adrien suddenly winked at the warden, who got the hint and whispered to Kisa, ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you. The reason the fire was not investigated back then was because he did a lot to cover it up, and he could because he was powerful. And he still is. Otherwise, do you think I can cover up the incident with my ability?¡± Adrien, who had been silent all this while, suddenly flicked off the ashes from his cigarette and then said in a low voice to the warden, ¡°No wonder you told me back then that Gilbert had nothing to do with the fire. It turned out that he was behind it. I didn¡¯t really expect that.¡± Kisa stared at the ceiling with a pale face. ¡®No wonder. Who else but Gilbert has the power to destroy all evidence and make everyone involved disappear? But I really don¡¯t want to believe this cruel truth. I really don¡¯t want to believe it. What should I do?¡® She crossed her arms over her eyes in grief, tears spilling out from under her arms uncontrobly. Her heart was aching so much that her body trembled. If someone had told her before this that it was Gilbert who was behind the fire, she might not feel so aggrieved but only hate him¨Chating him to the bone. But this time, when she and Gilbert were getting along so well and so happy, and she had even fallen in love with him again, this revtion was the cruelest thing to her. ¡®Why is God so cruel to me? Why let me learn such a cruel truth only after I fell in love with him again?¡® She could not believe this was the truth when she thought about how gentle and considerate Gilbert had been all this time. Struggling to get up from Jensen¡¯s arms, she looked grimly at the warden. ¡°I¡¯m going to get a rification from Gilbert right now, and if there is even one thing that you have said is not true, I will make your life worse than death,¡± Kisa said with the utmost ruthlessness. The warden trembled in fear, but when he met Adrien¡¯s cold, stern eyes, he said to Kisa, ¡°Go ahead and ask him. It is even better to get him toe and confront me. There are so many people here; I¡¯m not going to be afraid of him. I¡¯d rather just confront him than hide again.¡± Kisa ignored him. She wiped her tears and stood up, then walked outside without Looking back. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 869 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 869 Chapter 869 Your Love Is the Greatest Jensen quickly pulled her back. ¡°It is dark now, and it is raining again. How are you going to get there in this condition? Listen to me; I will go with you to confront him tomorrow.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t wait that long. I hate waiting.¡± Kisa brushed his hand away, looking determined. ¡°I have to ask him and get an answer from him tonight, no matter what.¡± Jensen pursed his lips, not knowing what more to say. ¡°Thank you, Jensen.¡± Kisa nced at him, then turned and strode out, mming the door shut behind her. She went without even taking an umbre. Jensen leaned back against the cab, feeling terrible. He lit a cigarette and looked at Adrien with cold eyes. ¡°Are you happy now?¡± Adrien leaned back in his chair and smoked absently. ¡°This is nothingpared to the pain I suffered back then.¡± ¡°Heh¡­¡± Jensenughed with sarcasm. ¡°Oh, yeah. Your love is the greatest. After your love was broken, you decided that no one else should deserve it. You are so selfish and heartless.¡± ¡°Selfish and heartless?¡± Adrien narrowed his eyes. ¡°If I were really selfish and heartless, I would have killed your mother when she was pregnant with you.¡± Jensen clenched his hands at his sides, and because he clenched them too hard, the cigarette was crushed in his hands. Adrien looked at him with a frown of disgust.¡± Speaking of which, I wouldn¡¯t have lost her if your mother hadn¡¯t schemed against me. Since your mother has gone, you would have to pay the debt on her behalf.¡± Jensen said nothing, an eerie chill emanating from his body. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Feeling scared, the warden cautiously said to Adrien, ¡°I have done everything you told me, and I think I have done a good job because I see that woman seems to believe it. Shouldn¡¯t you let me go now?¡± ¡°Let you go?¡± Adrien looked like he had heard a joke. ¡°Are you so desperate to have Sharon¡¯s men kill you?¡± The warden¡¯s face changed abruptly, and he did not dare to speak anymore. Adrien got up and sneered, ¡°Sharon¡¯s future in the entertainment industry has been ruined, but the Case family still has some power, and killing you would be a piece of cake for them. So, stay at my ce these few days. I can ensure your safety and provide you with good food and drink. Isn¡¯t that good enough?¡± ¡°That¡¯s surely good enough. I will listen to everything you say.¡± Adrien let out a meaningful smile, his eyes looking sinister. Jensen shot him an icy look, then got up and went to the window. Kisa¡¯s car had already driven to the exit, and as the lever opened, she sped off like an arrow. Jensen looked on as the car disappeared in the rain, his calm facecking emotions, but his pair of eyes were filled with mixed emotions. This time, he knew that the rtionship between Kisa and Gilbert was beyond salvage. He was jealous when Kisa and Gilbert were together. Now it was all over for them. But he did not feel happy at all. He took a drag on his cigarette andughed self¨Cdeprecatingly. ¡®What is so sad about it? Was it not me who broke their rtionship? Do I even have the right to feel sad? Heh, I¡¯m really disgusted with myself; so hypocritical and vicious.¡® Kisa gripped the steering wheel tightly. Because of the intense grief, her entire body trembled, and it took her several times to fire up the engine just now. The rain was getting heavier, and visibility was nearly zero. But she still did not slow down, as she was eager to find Gilbert and confront him. Suddenly, a sh of blinding headlights prated the heavy rain and shone directly into her eyes, blinding her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 870 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 870 Chapter 870 She Had a Car ident Kisa¡¯s face changed as she knew by intuition the other car wasing toward her. She hurriedly turned the steering wheel and mmed on the brakes. The next thing she knew, she heard the screech of the tires and her car hitting something, then crashed into the guardrail. The other car just grazed her car and disappeared in the rain in a sh. Because she had stepped on the brakes in time, the damage was not serious even though the front of the car had hit the guardrail. It only suffered a slightly dented front bumper and scratches. But because of the tremendous inertia, Kisa hit her head on the steering wheel, ending up with a few bruises and minor bleeding. She sat back up and leaned stiffly back in the driver¡¯s seat, her hands on the steering wheel trembling. After a long while, she leaned on the steering wheel and cried, her tense emotions bursting at once. She cried and trembled, her voice sounding fragile and miserable. ¡°Gilbert, why?¡± She cried out with resentment and helplessness. In the Kooper residence, Gilbert sat motionless on the edge of the bed, lying on which was an elderly in her eighties. Her face was pale, her arm was being infused with fluids, and thick gauze was wrapped around her wrist. Gilbert was expressionless, his eyes red. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Your grandma will be fine. Luckily, George found her in time.¡± Kelvin patted him on the shoulder. George said he had gone to Madalyn¡¯s room to call her toe out for afternoon tea but ended up calling out outside her room and getting no response from her. Worried that something might have happened to Madalyn, he opened the door himself. Just then, he smelled a very strong smell of blood and saw Madalyn lying unconscious on the bed. She had shed her wrists with a fruit knife.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. When George told him about this, Gilbert waspletely dumbfounded. He could not understand why his grandmother would do this until George showed him a letter, a suicide note from his grandmother. The letter was long and full of reproaches and disappointment. She used him of lying and questioned why he was still with Kisa. Every sentence in the suicide note was filled with intense despair and grief. She said she was tired and would no longer care and want him as her grandson. She would not stop him from seeing Kisa, but in such a drastic way ofpromise, Gilbert could not ept it. ¡®You know very well that, apart from the children, you are the only family member I have in this world. Did you ever think for a second about what would happen to me when you tried to kill yourself? If you leave like this, will I really be able to be with Kisa with peace of mind? No, it is impossible that we can be together. You will only push me deep into a painful abyss. Grandma, how much do you hate Kisa that you would use such a radical way to oppose her?¡® Gilbert said in his mind. He looked at Madalyn on the bed, and tears dropped silently. He leaned over slightly and buried his face in his palms. The once untouchable, hubristic, and conceited man now looked so vulnerable. Kelvin looked on and felt sad. He patted Gilbert on his back and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be like this. There is always a solution and hope as long as she is still here.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t know how to go about it anymore; it is a dead end.¡± Gilbert¡¯s voice was full of weariness as if he had aged in an instant. ¡°Grandma was saved this time, but what about the next time? Kelvin, what could be the enmity between Grandma and Kisa?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 871 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 871 Chapter 871 Do I Have To Give Up? Kelvin shook his head. Nobody knew what kind of profound hatred Madalyn had against Kisa. However, Madalyn¡¯s determination seemed a little strange to them. Perhaps only Madalyn knew the answer to that question. However, she t¨Cout refused to say anything about it, and that was why they were so puzzled. ¡°Give me a cigarette.¡± With his eyes bloodshot, Gilbert lifted his gaze to look at Kelvin. Kelvin immediately did as Gilbert said. Then, Gilbert stood up and went to the window. He opened the window slightly, and a gust of cold wind and raindrops flew into the room. Gilbert lit up the cigarette and took a drag. His emotionless face looked deste. His cigarette burned out. Then, he looked at Kelvin with a nk smile. ¡°My grandma is actually willing to die to stop me from getting together with Kisa. Is there really anything I can do to fix this?¡± Kelvin pursed his lips. He did not know what to say. He only asked softly after pausing for a while, ¡°What¡¯s your n then? A¨Care you really going to give up on Kisa?¡± ¡®Give up?¡® Gilbert¡¯s heart trembled as he heard those two words. How could he give up on someone whom he had been waiting for so long? After all, humans were a greedy species, and one would want everything to go his way. Suddenly, Madalyn, who was lying on the bed, groaned weakly. Gilbert was shocked but immediately moved toward her. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Kelvin opened the medical kit hurriedly before he went to check up on Madalyn with his equipment. ¡°Grandma¡­.¡± Gilbert said softly while bending down beside the bed. Madalyn¡¯s eyelids moved before she opened her eyes slowly. Madalyn immediately locked her gaze at Gilbert after opening her eyes, but she did not say anything. However, her cloudy eyes had tears in them. Gilbert¡¯s heart tightened. He grabbed Madalyn¡¯s hand and said softly, ¡°Grandma, I¡¯m here. Don¡¯t cry. Go ahead if you want to scold me or hit me. I just want you to be well, really. The only thing I want in this world is for you to be healthy and have a long life.¡± Madalyn lifted her hand up slowly and pped Gilbert after he said that. Madalyn¡¯s wrist started to bleed again because of what she did. However, she just woke up and she was still very weak. Plus, her wrist was injured, so that p did not hurt at all. Gilbert could not feel any pain, but he could clearly feel how disappointed and angry his grandmother was. He pursed his lips and bowed his head down. ¡°Grandma, I¡¯m so sorry. I¡¯m never going to forgive myself if anything ever happened to you.¡± ¡°W¨CWhy are you still with t¨Cthat b*tch then?¡± Madalyn finally spoke, but her voice sounded very hoarse. Then, she continued angrily, ¡°I asked you if you¡¯ve broken up with her, and you said yes. Y¨Cyou even put up a show in front of me just to make me believe you. Hmph. Gilbert¡­ you really did try your best to fool me just to get together with that b*tch.¡± Madalyn suddenly choked and coughed intensely after saying that. Gilbert immediately handed her the cup of warm water beside the bed. However, Madalyn swung her hand at Gilbert. ¡°Go away! You¡¯re not my grandson. My dear grandson would never disobey me or lie to me. Y¨Cyou¡¯ve got me good. Hm¡­ You actually lied to me because of that woman. Y -you¡­ cough¡­ cough¡­¡± Madalyn scolded Gilbert before she started to cough again. Kelvin hurriedly tried to soothe her as he said to Gilbert, ¡°You should go out now. Stop making her mad.¡± However, Gilbert just stood there, motionless as a statue. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 872 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 872 Chapter 872 Using Her Against Jensen Suddenly, Gilbert lifted the edge of his mouth at Madalyn. The smile looked cold and a little contemptuous. ¡°Grandma, why is it necessary for you to think that I got back together with Kisa just because I still love her, or I¡¯m devoted to her?¡± Kelvin paused and stared at Gilbert. ¡®What is he talking about?¡® Madalyn was also shocked but she refused to believe him. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Then, she snapped. ¡°Don¡¯t even try. Did you really think that I¡¯d believe you? How stupid do you think I am? Why don¡¯t you try something new instead?¡± Kelvin was speechless. ¡®She¡¯s right. I can¡¯t even find myself to believe in what he said now, let alone his grandma.¡® However, Gilbert smiled again, looking very unpredictable. He leaned toward the window and said unconcernedly at Madalyn, ¡°Do you know why I wouldn¡¯t leave her alone and why I treat her so well these days?¡± Madalyn did not answer his rhetorical question. Kelvin ignored him too. Then, Gilbert continued speaking as he chuckled softly, ¡°That¡¯s because I want to use her to deal with Jensen.¡± Madalyn furrowed his brows before asking him, ¡°Deal with Jensen? What do you mean?¡± ¡°Why do you think Jensen started J & K Film Group? He wants to rece mypany and steal our family¡¯s wealth. Did you really think I have no idea what¡¯s going on?¡± Gilbert scoffed. ¡°He used Kisa to set me up, so I¡¯m just doing the same at him. This is going to be so interesting!¡± The twistpletely blew Kelvin¡¯s mind. Madalyn was shocked too. However, Madalyn just could not believe Gilbert no matter how real he made it sound. ¡°Why would you risk your life to save her if you¡¯re just using her? Gilbert, stop treating your grandma like a fool!¡± ¡°Hmph. Did you really think I did that?¡± Gilbert smiled disdainfully. ¡°I nned the whole ident.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Kelvin was so surprised, that he could not think of anything else to say. Madalyn was doubtful. Kisa¡¯s entire body was tensing as she stood outside the door. She clenched her fists so tight, that her fingernails were almost poking through her palm. However, she could not feel any pain at all as what Gilbert just said echoed in her head. Madalyn still did not believe Gilbert. So, Gilbert sneered. ¡°The car was going so fast. Why would I only suffer minor injuries if I wasn¡¯t the one who made it happen?¡± Madalyn was a little convinced after hearing that. Kelvin arched his brows and asked, ¡°Why would you do that? What if the driver made a mistake and killed you by ident?¡± Madalyn red at Kelvin. ¡®Why would he say something so stupid?¡® Madalyn thought to herself. Gilbert smiled before he said airily, ¡°She would never trust me so easily if I didn¡¯t do that to prove myself.¡± Madalyn locked her eyes on him while observing his facial expression. However, Gilbert just looked emotionless no matter how long she stared at him. She arched her brows. She dared not to believe him entirely. Then, she said in a deep voice, ¡°I heard that you even brought that woman with you to find somebody who was involved in the fire back then. Why would you go so far to prove your innocence to her if you don¡¯t love her?¡± ¡°Heh, heh. How could I make her stop hating me and love me again if I don¡¯t do that?¡± Gilbert said as another rhetorical question, before answering it again. ¡°Grandma, I was the mastermind behind that fire.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 873 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 873 Chapter 873 She Disgusts Me Madalyn looked at Gilbert, wide¨Ceyed in shock. Kelvin thought that he was lying, but he did not say anything. ¡°Finding the guards in Hillsby was just a part of my n. I bribed them before bringing Kisa there. I even hired some killers and set up some traps along the way just to make her trust me. ¡°Otherwise, do you really think that I and her would make it out alive if the killers were real? Hmph. They were only some actors I hired to fool her.¡± Kisa felt very cold as she stood outside. The ran through every part of her body as she shivered. Madalyn looked at Gilbert suspiciously. She furrowed her brows and asked, ¡°There¡¯s something I don¡¯t understand. Didn¡¯t you already know that she set you up, but didn¡¯t hurt me? Why would you still do this to her? That¡¯s so unnecessary.¡± ¡°I only sent her to prison back then because I thought she was the one who did all the bad things, and I hated her so much for it. However, I came up with another way to get back at her after knowing that she didn¡¯t die. ¡°Later, I found out that she was innocent, and I was nning to leave her alone. However, Jensen just had toe back and mess with my family and take GK away from me after that. ¡°Hmph. I know that Jensen likes her, so I¡¯m just using the woman he loves against him. I believe that this is going to work really well.¡± Madalyn looked at him strangely. ¡°This doesn¡¯t sound like you at all. You wouldn¡¯t do something so cruel to her.¡± ¡°Heh. Why wouldn¡¯t I? Have I ever loved her? ¡°She disgusted me so much back then, and seeing her always annoyed me. She became someone that I absolutely hated to death, but now she¡¯s just a pawn I¡¯m using against Jensen. I¡¯ve never liked her, let alone love.¡± Gilbert smiled faintly as he said that. His tone sounded cold, and he looked merciless. Kelvin felt a sh of terror after hearing what Gilbert said. He had no idea what was happening anymore. He did not know if Gilbert really hated Kisa or not. That was because Gilbert¡¯s tone and expression turned out to be so real, that Kelvin found it difficult to not believe him. Madalyn kept her silence for a while as if she was still processing Gilbert¡¯s words. Then she asked him, ¡°Are you saying that everything that you¡¯ve done is just to make her fall in love with you and trust you so that you can use her against Jensen?¡± ¡°Yeah. It was the best way to do just that.¡± Madalyn stared at him. She did not know if she should believe what Gilbert told her. Gilbert suddenly sat beside Madalyn and held her hand. Then, he said with a smile, ¡± Grandma, you shouldn¡¯t joke around with your life anymore. It would be a shame if you really lost your life because of that woman. I¡¯m d that you¡¯re fine. I was so worried about you. ¡°If you don¡¯t want me doing this to deal with Jensen, I¡¯ll just stop it and cut that woman off entirely. However, you¡¯ve got to stop doing things like this. She¡¯s just a tool, but you¡¯re the most important person ever to me.¡± Gilbert looked very scornful and disdainful when he talked about Kisa. Madalyn could not help but tremble inside. ¡®If what Gilbert said was true, he really had been faking it very well. ¡®I brought him up, but it seems like there are a lot of things that I don¡¯t know about him.¡® ¡°1 Gilbert put Madalyn¡¯s hand in the nket and said in a slightly displeased tone, Grandma, I¡¯ll just stop seeing her if you hate it so much.

Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Kelvin¡¯s jaw dropped in surprise. Then, he nced at Gilbert worriedly. However, Gilbert was still looking as emotionless as before, and none of them were expecting that from him. Gilbert stared in her direction. The sound of the door opening could be heard in the quiet room. Kisa walked inside slowly, drenched with rainwater. She was a skinny person, but with her thin clothes stuck to her skin because of the rain, she looked even more fragile and tiny. It seemed as if a gust of wind would blow her away. Her face was so pale, that it looked like a piece of paper. There was a wound on her forehead, and it was still bleeding. The blood streamed down from her forehead to both sides of her eyebrows, and to her cheeks. It made her look like she was crying blood out of her bloodshot eyes. It was a little terrifying to look at. Kelvin was shocked as he took a few steps forward. ¡°Kisa, why are you here? Your wound¡­¡± Kisa waved her hand at him as she stared at Gilbert¡¯s back. Her face looked emotionless, and she had not spoken at all. However, her silence made them feel suffocating. Madalyn nced at her before looking at Gilbert. Gilbert was looking down while patting Madalyn¡¯s hand with a faint smile on his face. Madalyn thought that either he did not realize that Kisa was there, or he was just pretending to be calm. So, she said to him, ¡°That woman is here. Don¡¯t you have anything to say to her?¡± ¡°Hmph. I¡¯ve already said everything I want to say just now, and I guess she probably heard them too. In that case, there¡¯s nothing left for me to say to her. ¡°However, it¡¯s a shame that she knew about my n so soon. It would be so much more exciting if I were to tell her these after I was done with Jensen.¡± Gilbert even merciless face even looked a little sad as he said that. Madalyn stared nkly at him, and she was left speechless again. Gilbert could still say something so heartless, even though Kisa was standing right. there. ¡®Does that mean that Gilbert really doesn¡¯t like Kisa and he was just pretending all this while?¡® Madalyn thought to herself. Then, she recalled her memory. ¡®Indeed, Gilbert has never told me that he liked Kisa. Nor has he done anything to show that he had feelings for her. ¡®I was the person who made the marriage between them happen, after all.¡® Madalyn was finally convinced that she had misunderstood Gilbert, thinking that he was madly in love with Kisa, but it turned out that Gilbert actually despised her. Kisa stared at Gilbert¡¯s back for some time before she suddenly chucked softly. She sounded cold and a little dejected. ¡°Do you¡­ really have nothing to say to me?¡± She asked calmly without making a scene. Her voice was so soft; that it sounded a little creepy. Madalyn looked at Gilbert. Gilbert lifted the corner of his lips. Then, he stood up slowly. However, he did not look Kisa right away after he turned around. Instead, his gaze fell on George, who was standing at the door. ¡°George, why are you standing there? Come on, give grandma the soup you brought here.¡± George recollected himself. ¡°Yes, Mr. Kooper.¡± Then, he walked toward Madalyn with a bowl of soup and a few side dishes in his hands. He came in to send Madalyn¡¯s soup, and then he saw Kisa at the door. Then, he saw everything that had happened just now. The atmosphere in the room was suffocating and he had no idea what was happening. Gilbert walked to the window on the other side of the room and pushed the window open again as the cold wind blew the rain into the room. He leaned on the wallzily. Then, he lit up a cigarette and took a drag. Only then did he turn to look at Kisa coldly¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 875 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 875 Chapter 875 Mockery and Sarcasm ¡°What do you want to hear from me?¡± He chuckled and asked Kisa, sounding very sarcastic. Kisa¡¯s body was stiff as she stood upright. She looked at Gilbert without saying anything. She curled her fingers tightly, and there was blood dripping slowly from her clenched fists. Gilbert swept his gaze across her before he looked back at the cigarette between his fingers. He breathed out a swirl of smoke before saying unconcernedly, ¡°I can say whatever you want to hear. Including¡­ the world¡¯s sweetest love talk and sweet nothings.¡± His deep voice still sounded very pleasant, but his tone was filled with sarcasm and mockery. Kira¡¯s heart hurt so much, that she struggled to breathe. However, she startedughing. ¡°So, have you been faking all this while when you said all those sweet words to me?¡± ¡°Heh, heh!¡± Gilbert chuckled scornfully. ¡°You¡¯re an actress. How could you not tell what¡¯s real and what¡¯s not?¡± Kisa tried her very best to smile. There were tears in her eyes, but she kept them from falling. ¡°You¡¯re such a good actor,¡± she said. ¡°I had no choice since you hated me so much. How would you take the bait if I didn¡¯t spend some effort to improve my acting skills?¡± Gilbert smiled and walked toward her. He stood right in front of her, looking aloof and indifferent. He reached out and brushed away her hair that was on the wound of her forehead. He did it so gently, that Kisa fell into a trance. She suddenly felt like everything that the man said just was fake, and what he just did to her was genuine. However, that feeling did notst for very long. She was awakened by the jeering and heartless look in Gilbert¡¯s eyes. She took a step back without saying anything. Gilbert¡¯s hand hang in the air for a few seconds before he put his hand into his pocket. Then, he said to Kisa with a faint smile, ¡°From how we spent our time together, you look like you like to hear those sweet words from me very much. We can still be the lovely couple like before if you¡¯d just pretend that you didn¡¯t hear anything today. I can still tter you with as many sweet words as you want.¡± He made it sound like he was doing Kisa a favor while mocking her. Kisa felt heartbroken as she shut her eyes. Then, her expression filled with hatred as she opened her eyes again. ¡°Were you¡­ really the mastermind behind the fire?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± ¡°Did you really make that ident happen too?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± ¡°Those killers¡­ when we were on our way to Hillsby¡­¡± Kisa could not find herself to keep asking anymore. She had already heard it outside. There was no point in her asking him anymore since she already knew exactly what happened. ¡®Did I ask him that because I couldn¡¯t ept the truth, so I want to hear him deny it?¡® ¡®Hmph. Unfortunately, he isn¡¯t even bothering to deny anything now. He doesn¡¯t even want to pretend anymore.¡® The man sneered before she could finish her question. ¡°Yeah. I hired every killer we met on our way to Hillsby. I also ckmailed the two prison guards. I orchestrated everything.¡± Kisa stared at him. She observed every expression and every nce he gave. However, she could only see coldness, mockery, and nothing else. She took a few steps back and shook her head. Then, she said with a smile, ¡°I get it now. I was just an idiot that you had wrapped around your little finger. ¡°Gilbert Kooper, you¡¯ve won!¡± The man was the final winner in this game of love, after all. She repeatedly told herself not to fall for him, or there would be no return. However, she began to realize that she had indeed fallen for him long ago. Otherwise, her heart would not hurt so much that she felt numb. She did not cry, nor she did make a scene. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. All she did was turn around and walk away silently. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 876 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 876 Chapter 876 Don¡¯t Let Her Pass Out Here There would be drops of blood dripping down the floor from her fists with every step she took. Gilbert gazed at her skinny back deeply, looking like he was restraining himself from doing something. When Kisa walked closer to the door, her body shook, and she fell to the floor right in front the door frame, as if her body had shut itself down. She seemed to be in a lot of pain as shey there without moving at all. Gilbert shifted his gaze away from him and said to George tly, ¡°Would you help Ms. Becker up? Don¡¯t let her pass out here. Otherwise, Jensen is going to stir things up again.¡± Kisa chuckled creepily. Then, she gritted her teeth, got up, and continued walking. Kelvin could not bear to look at that anymore. Then, he said to Gilbert, ¡°I¡¯ll check on her.¡± Kelvin ran after Kisa after he said that. The room was finally quiet again. Gilbert turned around and sat beside Madalyn. After looking at how the food was left untouched on the bedstand, he could not help but ask with a smile, ¡°Grandma, why didn¡¯t you eat? Here, let me help you with it.¡± He picked up that bowl of soup and blew gently on it as he said that. Then, he scooped a spoonful of soup to feed Madalyn. He acted exactly like a dutiful grandson. Madalyn stared at him in disbelief before she asked him, ¡°That woman just left. Are you not going to chase after her?¡± ¡°Sigh. Grandma, how many times do I have to tell you that I don¡¯t love that woman? I was just pretending to be in love with her all this time. It doesn¡¯t matter that she heard what I said just now because I don¡¯t feel like being together with her anymore. ¡°However, I would consider changing my mind and continue acting if she came back to me after feeling that she can¡¯t live without me.¡± Gilbert looked a little impatient while he said that. Madalyn pursed her lips and stopped doubting him. Gilbert grabbed Madalyn¡¯s hand and said with a smile after she finished drinking the soup, ¡°Grandma, get some rest. I¡¯ll stay here with you.¡± Madalyn realized that he really was not nning to go after Kisa. She finally believed Gilbert. Shey down on the bed and said, ¡°Even though you¡¯re only approaching that woman to deal with Jensen, I still don¡¯t think that this is a very good way to do it. After all, just try to cut ties with that woman whenever you can, so I won¡¯t have to worry about you, okay?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Gilbert nodded and tucked Madalyn in. ¡°Grandma, just go to sleep. I¡¯ll be right here.¡± Madalyn nodded and let out a heavy sigh of relief. Then, she whispered, ¡°Luckily nothing between you and her was real.

There would not be a conclusion if he kept asking anyway after hearing what Madalyn said to him. Madalyn chatted with Gilbert for quite some time before she finally fell asleep. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert sat down on the chair wearily. He just could not forget how downhearted Kisa looked when she left. He held his fists tight, stressed out. ¡®She understands me, right? She could probably tell that I was just acting in front of my grandma just now.¡® However, he just could not calm himself down no matter how hard he tried to make himself feel better.

He frowned deeply and suddenly remembered leaving his phone in the car. He stood up abruptly and stumbled outside. The woman¡¯s blood was still stained on the door frame. The sight of it hurt his eyes and made him feel suffocated, so he did not dare to look at it. ¡®All I hope is that Kisa can understand my actions earlier on and realize that I was merely putting on a show. Otherwise¡­ Otherwise¡­¡¯ Gilbert did not dare to think further. He continued striding down the stairs. Kelvin was leaning against the door while smoking. When he saw Gilbert, he quickly stopped him. ¡°Gilbert, what you said to Kisa earlier on¡­ ¡°Where¡¯s she?¡± Gilbert asked abruptly in a tense voice. Kelvin pursed his lips, ¡°She left long ago. I couldn¡¯t stop her.¡± Hearing this, Gilbert¡¯s heart instantly sank further. ¡®If Kisa had realized that I was putting on a show earlier, she wouldn¡¯t have left without a second thought. At the very least, she would¡¯ve said something to Kelvin,¡® he thought. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± Kelvin took a puff of his cigarette and continued worriedly, ¡°Kisa must¡¯ve gotten into a car ident just now. The front of her car was dented.¡± Gilbert felt his heart clench. He did not dare to dilly¨Cdally and quickly rushed to the car to find his phone. His phone was under the car seat. Gilbert bent down to pick up his phone and spotted the pink¨Ccolored cake that had been smashed to pieces. He felt a twinge in his heart as tears welled up in his in his eyes. ¡®It¡¯s her birthday today. I promised I¡¯d spend her birthday with her, but I broke my promise again,¡® he thought. Gilbert unlocked his phone. Countless missed calls and unread messages came into view, and they were all from the same woman. He could tell how badly she wanted to see him at the time. [Why aren¡¯t you here yet, Gilbert?] [I¡¯m done cooking. Where are you?] [Where¡¯s the surprise you mentioned? You¡¯re a liar, Gilbert.] [The prison guard is here. When are youing over, Gilbert?] When Gilbert read the text messages, tears gradually welled up in his eyes. He held the back of his hand against the tip of his nose and felt his heart throbbing in pain. With trembling hands, he dialed the woman¡¯s number. ¡®Her phone is off!¡® he thought. Gilbert dialed her number two more times, yet her phone was still off. ¡®How could this be? Did her battery die or is she not picking up on purpose?¡® Gilbert was feeling more and more panicked. Suddenly, he thought of the prison guard. ¡®Kisa mentioned that the prison guard was with her. Could the prison guard have made false usations and said that I was the one who set the fire? And Kisa came over just now to ask me about it? If that is the case, what have I done? I just admitted to her that I was behind the fire,¡® he thought. At this thought, Gilbert felt his blood run cold. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. He stumbled out of the car and almost fell. Fortunately, Kelvin came over and helped him up. Kelvin rarely saw him in such a state. He asked Gilbert in a panic, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°I need to find her. I need to set things straight with her.¡± After hearing his words, Kelvin figured that Gilbert had said such heartless words to put on a show in front of Madalyn. ¡®Gilbert¡¯s show was too realistic. Regardless, Kisa knows how Mrs. Kooper Sr. feels about them, so she must understand Gilbert¡¯s intentions. She won¡¯t misunderstand him,¡® Kelvin thought. He tugged Gilbert¡¯s shirt and said hurriedly, ¡°You can do this tomorrow. It¡¯s nighttime and pouring; it¡¯s way too dangerous to drive.¡± However, Gilbert brushed Kelvin¡¯s hand aside in a panic. He could not wait even for a moment. Whenever he thought of the possibility he imagined, he felt incredibly panicked. After telling Kelvin to take care of Madalyn, Gilbert frantically got into a different car. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 878 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 878 Chapter 878 Illusions of Happiness Gilbert did not see Kisa on the road, so he immediately went to her ce. The moment he opened the door, the dead silence in the house made him panic. He quickly walked and checked every room before even changing out of his shoes. Every room was empty, even the kitchen and toilet. ¡®She didn¡¯te home. But it¡¯s pouring outside, so where else would she go? There are various exquisite¨Clooking dishes on the table. It¡¯s a birthday today, so I can tell she put a lot of effort into preparing this meal. Some of the dishes are food that she likes, and there¡¯s also food that I like,¡® thought Gilbert. He quietly stared at the untouched dishes on the table and felt tears well up in his eyes. ¡®If only these idents didn¡¯t happen. Right now, I should be spending her birthday with her in this cozy house. I¡¯d be telling her surprises and seeing the happy expression,¡® he thought. It was almost as if Gilbert could see the warm and cozy scenarios he had pictured in his head in front of his eyes. However, the illusions of happiness in his head were abruptly shattered by the sound of thunder. He stumbled two steps back and leaned against the wall in anguish. ¡®That woman still isn¡¯t home, and her phone is off. She definitely misunderstood me. What should I do? How should I let her believe me again in the future? It¡¯s not possible anymore. Right? She won¡¯t possibly trust me anymore, right? If the prison guard really did falsely use me, she probably won¡¯t believe me even if I died in front of her,¡¯ he thought. At the thought of the prison guard, Gilbert¡¯s gaze turned icy. ¡°The rainstorm today is so strange; it¡¯s never¨Cending. ke can¡¯t even go outside to y,¡± Mia sprawled in front of the window and said in low spirits.

However, she did not ask much about it. ¡®After all, with his personality, it¡¯s not like he¡¯d tell me if I asked. Instead, my question might make him unhappy. Anyway, his temper is getting more and more unpredictable. I should avoid pissing him off if I can. But judging from his vacant expression, it¡¯s definitely because of Kisa again,¡® thought Mia. While she was in deep thought, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Mia was startled. ¡°Who could it be at this hour and weather?¡± she mumbled. Then, she got up and went to the door. ¡°What¡¯re you doing here?¡± When she opened the door, she saw apletely drenched Gilbert standing in front of the door. He had bloodshot eyes and a dark expression; he looked terrifying. Mia could not help but frown. She stood in front of the door and did not want to let him in. Gilbert narrowed his eyes. Then, he raised his arm and shoved her aside. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Mia stumbled a few steps back and almost fell down. Fortunately, she held on to a cab beside her. Just as she wanted to yell at Gilbert, he strode up to Jensen. ¡°Where¡¯s the prison guard right now? Tell him to see me.¡± Jensen gaze at him silently. He did not seem surprised by Gilbert¡¯s sudden visit. He shook his head and said coolly, ¡°Sorry, I can¡¯t hand over the prison guard without Kisa¡¯s consent.¡® Gilbert took a deep breath. ¡°What did the prison guard tell Kisa?¡± Jensen did not give him a straight answer. He smiled slightly at him, ¡°Didn¡¯t Kisa go find you? What¡¯s the matter? Did she not tell you what the prison guard said to her?¡± Finally, Gilbert could no longer suppress his emotions.

Then, Jensen continued slowly, ¡°She said¡­ Unless you admitted it yourself, she¡¯d never believe it.¡± Gilbert paled further. Suddenly, his tall, muscr frame seemed frail, and he was about to topple over. Unless you admit it yourself, otherwise she¡¯d never believe it. But I said yes when she asked me the question just now.

Gilbert took a deep breath and said to Jensen icily, ¡°Whatever it is, hand over the prison guard first.¡± Jensen kept a slight smile on his face, ¡°For what? So that you can kill him?¡± ¡°You know I wouldn¡¯t¡­¡± Gilbert promptly frowned mid¨Csentence. Suddenly, the reason behind the difficulties and confusion they had faced when Davian sent people to search for the prison guards became clear. Gilbert felt a chill run down his spine when he figured things out. He took two steps back. Then, Gilbert said in an icy voice that was mingled with disbelief, disappointment, and distress, ¡°You¡¯re the one who asked the prison guard to falsely use me, right?¡± Jensen did not answer. Instead, he took a puff of his cigarette. His gaze was lowered and did not meet Gilbert¡¯s. No one knew if it was because he dared not meet Gilbert¡¯s eyes. Seeing how he was silent, Gilbert suddenlyughed sorrowfully. ¡°You¡¯re truly a good brother.¡± Jensen gently exhaled a smoke ring and said indifferently, ¡°We were no longer brothers after grandma heartlessly sent me abroad.¡± ¡°Is that so,¡± Gilbert chuckled. There was an indescribable sense of sorrow in his voice, ¡°I know a lot of people are trying to set me up, but I never believed that you would. But in the end, you turned out to be the person to do so.¡± Jensen sneered, ¡°I never set you up. I just didn¡¯t want you two to be together. From the way you had hurt Kisa back then, you don¡¯t have the right to be with her now¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have the right to decide that. Who are you to falsely use me like that? You can use me of anything, but why did you use me of that? Why?!¡± The grief in Gilbert¡¯s heart made him grab Jensen by the cor and swing his fist toward his chin. Then, a muffled thump was heard. Jensen got a firm punch on his face, and blood immediately trickled down the corner of his lips. Just as Gilbert¡¯s fist was about to swing toward Jensen once more, Mia, who was hiding and observing them behind the door gap, panicked. She wanted to rush over. To her surprise, a tiny silhouette rushed forward ahead of her. ¡°Daddy, don¡¯t fight.

Well, Jensen is ke¡¯s papa, so it¡¯s not surprising for him to call Jensen daddy when he panicked. For a moment, I thought ke was my child,¡¯ thought Gilbert. He suppressed the annoying thoughts in his head and asked Jensen icily, ¡°So you¡¯re saying you won¡¯t hand over the prison guard no matter what?¡± ¡°I told you I won¡¯t hand him over unless Kisa agrees.¡± Gilbert sneered and nodded.. ¡°Alright. Good!¡± his voice brimmed with disappointment and iciness. He continued, ¡°In the future¡­ We¡¯re no longer brothers.¡± Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.

However, he ended up not running up to Gilbert. Instead, he watched as his father stormed off. Mia turned to ke with a look of mixed emotions. They all heard ke say, ¡°daddy.¡± ¡®It seems like he knew about Gilbert being his daddy long ago. But why didn¡¯t he reunite with Gilbert? Didn¡¯t he always want to find his daddy and mommy?¡® wondered Mia. At this thought, she turned to Jensen in confusion. To her surprise, Jensen was looking at ke with a complex expression. Momentster, Jensen beckoned to Jensen, ¡°Come here, ke.¡± ke clenched his little hands and trudged up to Jensen. Jensen held his small frame and said in a low voice, ¡°Since when did you know that Gilbert¡¯s your daddy?¡± ke pursed his lips in silence. After a long pause, he spoke, ¡°I found out long ago.¡± ¡°No wonder!¡± eximed Mia. She continued, ¡°No wonder he liked being with Gilbert and Kisa so much. Turns out, he knew everything.¡± Jensen asked ke, ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you tell them?¡± ke shook his head without hesitation, ¡°I can¡¯t. I overheard you and mama saying that everyone would be in danger if I reunited with daddy and mommy, so I¡¯m scared.¡± Jensen pursed his lips. ¡®That¡¯s true. Adrien said he¡¯d kill ke if he reunited with his biological parents,¡¯ he thought. Mia patted ke¡¯s head, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared; things will be fine.¡± ke lowered his head. Suddenly, he said sadly, ¡°I really want to reunite with daddy and mommy, but I¡¯m scared. I¡¯m scared that it¡¯ll be bad for daddy and mommy and papa and mama. I want everyone to be fine, so it¡¯s fine even if I never reunite with daddy and mommy.¡± ke¡¯s sensibility was heart¨Cwrenching.

Does he want others to misunderstand him?¡® she thought. Jensen patted ke¡¯s head. Then, he smiled and mumbled, ¡°If only you were my real son.¡± Mia threw him a resentful re. ¡®I could totally give him a son if he wants one. But this man only wants Kisa¡¯s son,¡® she thought. She pulled ke over and said earnestly, ¡°The truth is, your papa didn¡¯t frame your daddy. It¡¯s really complicated, but all of us, especially you, would be in danger if your papa didn¡¯t do so. That¡¯s why you need to be good and not say anything, okay? All that said, your papa would never endanger your daddy¡¯s life.¡± ke pursed his lips and did not say a word. He felt conflicted. ¡®I do like daddy a lot, but I like papa a lot too,¡® ke thought. ¡°Did you hear what I said, ke?¡± Mia asked. ke twisted his fingers and finally nodded, ¡°Alright.¡± Then only did Mia feel assured. ¡®Hopefully, Adrien, that lunatic, will stop soon. His hatred is stirring up chaos for everyone, even the children,¡® she thought. It was still pouring, as if the heavens themselves were weeping. Kisa trudged along the river despondently. Her entire body was drenched by the heavy rain. However, she seemed as if she did not notice it, All she could think of were the times she had spent with Gilbert recently. ¡®He said he hired the killers on their way to Hillsby; how far¨Cfetched does that sound? Back then, we almost died at the hands of those killers. And yet he¡¯s saying that he hired those killers. Isn¡¯t that hrious?¡® she thought. Then, Kisa was even reminded of the time she paced around uneasily in town while waiting for him. She thought of the time he survived the killer and hobbled back from the wilderness. ¡®These incidents are deeply etched in my head and so realistic, so how could they be fake? I don¡¯t understand. How good must his acting be for him to put on such shows that seem so real?¡® ¡®And the car ident. If he had been even a little careless, the car would¡¯ve run him over. How confident was he when he did so much just to make me fall for him? I don¡¯t dare to believe it, nor do I want to believe it. But he¡¯s admitted it to me. He even admitted that he was behind the fire.¡® ¡®Am I going to continue lying to myself and defend him when even the prison warden has testified?¡® she thought. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. She clutched her temples in pain as her mind was in turmoil. Suddenly, Kisa stepped on something. She screamed. Then, she slipped and fell onto the ground hard. Big, fat raindrops pattered onto Kisa¡¯s unmoving body thaty limp on the ground. She could barely feel any pain; even her heart felt numb. ¡°Kisa¡­ Kisa¡­¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 882 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 882 Chapter 882 Breaking the Heart Suddenly, Kisa heard anxious, intermittent cries amidst the sound of rain. They did not sound real, instead sounding like a hallucination. She closed her eyes and plunged herself into endless darkness. ¡°Kisa¡­ Kisa¡­ Kisa¡­¡± The screams got closer and louder. She opened her eyes slightly, looking at the dark sky above. ¡®It¡¯s not a dream. He¡¯s here to look for me. But what for? Is he trying to continue deceiving me with ttering words?

Can you pleasee out already? Wherever you are, pleasee out. Kisa¡­¡± The man¡¯s voice pierced through the sound of rain. Kisa suddenly sneered when she listened to how anxious the voice sounded. ¡®He¡¯s so anxious. Is he worried that something would happen to me, or is he eager to exin everything?¡® ¡®I would really like to know what kind of exnation he would give.¡® Gilbert was looking along the river when Kelvin suddenly called. ¡°Gilbert, you shoulde back and apany your grandma. She woke up and asked where you were.¡± Gilbert was silent. ¡°It¡¯s better to have things under control on her side before you do anything else. Otherwise, everything you¡¯ve done would be in vain again,¡± Kelvin continued. ¡°¡­Alright,¡± Gilbert responded with a deep voice. He looked around the river again but still saw no sign of that woman. He lowered his eyes in disappointment and walked through the grass toward the road. Just as Kisa sat up, ready to respond to him, he turned around and left. He got into the car without the slightest pause and disappeared into the rain. Kisa obsessively stared at the direction in which the car had gone, and the corner of her lips slowly curled upward into a bitter smile. ¡®I knew it. He was just pretending when he came looking for me. Once he finds me, he¡¯s going to lie to me. It also doesn¡¯t matter if he can¡¯t find me, does it?¡® Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± Kisa suddenlyughed and pped herself across the face. ¡®How many times do I have to be yed by that man? How many times do I need to get hurt by him before I can finally wake up?¡® Kisa slowlyy on the ground in the rain, closing her eyes and letting herself sink into darkness once again. It was four o¡¯clock in the morning when Jolina walked out of the back food of a barbeque restaurant with a yawn. The rain had stopped entirely, and the air was a little cold. It was wet everywhere¡­ Jolina rolled up her cor and walked toward her rented room with her arms folded across her chest. She was working two jobs because she was in urgent need of money; one was the role of a servant for the show, and the other was a part¨Ctime job at a barbeque restaurant. Although working at the restaurant was extremely tiring, it was only a few minutes¡® walk to where she lived. Jolina was walking on the side of the road with her head buried downward when she bumped into someone. She was startled. She looked up subconsciously and was shocked when she saw a soaked and filthy- looking woman. The woman was pale, her hair was messy, and Jolina could not make out her face. When she saw that the woman was weak, staggering, and about to fall due to bumping into her, Jolina hurriedly reached out to support her. It was only when they looked at each other that she realized who the woman in front of her was¡­ ¡®Kisa?¡® Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 883 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 883 Chapter 883 She¡¯ll Never Trust Me Ever Again ¡°Ms. Becker? Why are you-¡± Before Jolina could finish her words, Kisa¡¯s eyes rolled back, and she fainted. When Gilbert went to see his grandma, he had already changed into some clean clothes and dried his hair. He did not have a weird expression on his face that indicated that he had been gone for a while. It was as if he had never left the room. ¡°I didn¡¯t see you when I woke up. Where did you go?¡± Madalyn took his hand and asked. ¡°There was an emergency at thepany, so I went to the study to deal with it,¡± Gilbert replied. ¡°Oh. You should focus more on your health and refrain from working overtime.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Gilbert responded softly without saying anything else. Madalyn could see the tiredness in between his brows. She felt terrible for him and said, ¡°You haven¡¯t slept all night. You should go to bed. You don¡¯t have to apany me.¡± ¡°That¡¯s okay, grandma. I¡¯m not sleepy. I¡¯ll just stay in here with you.¡± ¡°Silly child, I¡¯m already awake. It¡¯s nothing serious.¡± ¡°Then you have to promise me not to do something so stupid in the future anymore, grandma. Just call me if you need anything.¡± ¡°Well, you have to promise me that you won¡¯t lie to me again.¡± ¡°When have I ever lied to you? I just wanted things to be realistic, so I didn¡¯t tell you in advance.¡± ¡°Oh, you¡­¡± The twoughed as they talked to each other. Then, Madalyn stoppedughing and kindly told Gilbert, ¡°Okay, listen to grandma. Go and get some rest. The sun wille up soon. I should get up too.¡± Gilbert nodded, got up, and walked out of Madalyn¡¯s room. As soon as he was out of the room, the smile on his face disappeared. He walked toward his room slowly and steadily. He did not dare to look for Kisa right now, so how could he ask her for her trust and forgiveness? Back in his room, Gilbert fell heavily onto the bed with his face in his hands, in deep frustration. His jaw was tense as the corners of his lips turned downward. There was a gloomy and decadent aura dissipating from his body. ¡®What should I do now? Can someone please tell me what I should do?¡® Suddenly, his door creaked open, and Kelvin stepped into the room. He nced at the man on the bed and asked softly, ¡°Are you asleep, Gilbert?¡± The man did not respond. Kelvin pursed his lips, walked over, and sat beside his bed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve sent someone to go look for Kisa.¡± Gilbert remained silent. Kelvin sighed and said, ¡± Don¡¯t be sad. I¡¯m sure Kisa would understand.¡± ¡°No, she won¡¯t. She will never trust me ever again,¡± Gilbert said in deep despair. Kelvin did not know what to say after hearing that. After all, the expression on Kisa¡¯s face showed that she was decisive when she left. However, something else was bothering Kelvin. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m more worried about the little act you did in front of Mrs. Kooper Sr. I¡¯m afraid that you won¡¯t be able to have any entanglements with Kisa anymore in the future. Otherwise, if she finds out, another problem will surely arise.¡± Gilbert did not speak. He continued cupping his face in his hands as Kelvin looked at him quietly, feeling sorry for him. Kelvin then sighed and said, ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s find Kisa and talk about thister.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Hopefully, she¡¯d understand. ¡®She wouldn¡¯t. Not after what the prison warden had done. Kisa would never understand. She¡¯ll never trust me ever again.¡® As Gilbert thought of this, his heart ached so much that he was physically in pain. It was already evening when Kisa woke up. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 884 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 884 Chapter 884 Emotionally Hurt The afterglow of the setting sun shined through the window. The ce was no longer dark and gloomy from the rainstorm. Kisa looked around the room, and the slightly unfamiliar environment stunned her. It took her a while before she remembered that she was at Jolina¡¯s ce. Kisa furrowed her brows and suddenly recalled the scene in which she fainted. She had wandered outside for almost the whole nightst night. She was exhausted, and she was lucky that she bumped into Jolina. Kisa then sat up, pushing through her sore body, and vaguely heard a few noises outside. She got out of bed slowly and went outside. The small living room had an unobstructed view of the balcony and the kitchen, which were connected. The apartment was small. Kisa took a few steps forward and saw Jolina busy in the kitchen. She was wearing an apron, looking very gentle and peaceful. At the same time, Jolina noticed Kisa in the room and said, ¡°Just wait right there; dinner is almost ready.¡± Kisa gave her a weak smile, turned around, and sat on the sofa. Thest time she spent the night here, she was in a hurry; hence, she did not have the time to take a good look at the ce. ¡®Although this ce is small, it is very clean and tidy. The room has a simple design, but it warms the soul,¡® Kisa thought. ¡°By the way, Ms. Becker, I¡¯ve charged your phone for you. You should go turn it on. I was afraid that your friends would be worried,¡± Jolina called out to Kisa as she was cooking. ¡°¡­Alright.¡± Kisa forced augh, got up, and went to the TV cab to unplug her phone. She then sat back on the sofa without turning her phone on. Instead, she just held tightly onto it. Her phone was not dead. She just decided to turn it off on purpose. ¡®Yesterday was a nightmare.¡® Kisa did not want to talk about it, nor did she want to be found, especially not by Gilbert. She had to think about her next steps. She hugged her knees and curled up on the sofa. The man¡¯s figure was still lingering in his mind. Thinking of the ruthless words that came out of his mouthst night, Kisa felt her eyes water. ¡®How long will it take to heal this heartbreak? Maybe it would never get better¡­ What¡¯s funny is that I¡¯m still thinking of reasons to justify his actions. Did he say those things because of grandma?¡® But the warden¡¯s testimony made her reasoning seem weak and ridiculous. She buried her face deep in her knees, her heart overflowing with sadness. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. When Jolina was serving dinner, she saw Kisa sitting on the sofa with her knees up to her head, a sad aura surrounding her body. She pursed her lips, put the food on the coffee table, and asked in a low voice, ¡°Are you okay, Ms. Becker?¡± Kisa hurriedly collected her emotions when she heard Jolina¡¯s voice. ¡°I¡¯m alright. Thanks for taking me in,¡± she said with a forced smile. Although she was smiling, her reddened eyes showed that she had been crying. However, Jolina did not want to pry into Kisa¡¯s personal matters. She just smiled back and said, ¡°I¡¯ve cooked up a few dishes; let¡¯s eat.¡± As she uttered those words, she handed Kisa a bowl of rice. Looking at the steaming bowl of rice, Kisa¡¯s heart felt warm. She took the bowl and choked up as she said, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡®Even someone I barely interact with could treat me this well. But Gilbert, the man I had known and admired since I was a child, decided to hurt me deeply again and again. I guess this goes to show that Gilbert had hated me all this while.¡® ¡°M¨CMs. Becker? A¨CAre you okay?¡± Jolina could not help but ask when she saw tears continuously streaming down Kisa¡¯s cheek. It was strange for Kisa to have appeared on the street like thatst night. She looked like she was emotionally hurt. She took a deep breath and suppressed the negative emotions once again. She then turned to Jolina and said¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 885 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 885 Chapter 885 Hiding ¡°I don¡¯t want to let anyone know that I¡¯m here. Can you please help me keep this secret?¡± Kisa asked. Jolina was stunned for a while, but she nodded. ¡°Okay. Don¡¯t worry, I haven¡¯t told anyone about this yet.¡± ¡°Thanks.¡± Kisa stayed silent for a while. ¡°I will be taking leave from the set. Can I stay here with you for a few days?¡± She continued. ¡°Sure,¡± Jolina agreed without hesitation. ¡°After all, it¡¯s just me in here. Also, I¡¯m going to the barbeque restaurant to workter, and I won¡¯t be back until four in the morning. Kisa was a little surprised when she heard that since Jolina was still very young.¡± You work all night? Isn¡¯t it tiring?¡± ¡°No. Mainly because this job doesn¡¯t sh with my acting job. Plus, I still have some time during the day for a few sses at school,¡± Jolina lowered her gaze and said as if there was an unspeakable reason behind all this. Kisa looked at her for a while and replied, ¡°If you¡¯re in need-¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m alright,¡± Jolina hurriedly shook her head and smiled. ¡°Everything is fine.¡± Jolina¡¯s appearance looked sincere. She gave off a cold vibe when she did not smile; however, she made people feel warm inside when she did. Kisa grew fonder of her as time passed by. She was also very grateful for her as well. After all, Jolina had saved her twice. After finishing dinner, Jolina hurried out the door. Before leaving, she reminded Kisal that there was food in the fridge and that she could eat it if she felt hungry. Soon, Kisa was the only one left in the apartment. The cruel and disheartening words that she refused to believe came out of Gilbert¡¯s mouth crawled back into her mind. The heartbreak and sadness she felt gradually overwhelmed her once again. She leaned against the cab and stared out the window. She admitted that she was hiding but did not know how long she would need toe out of it. ¡®I have to wait at least until it doesn¡¯t feel that sad anymore, at least until I can fully ept all that has happened. I must not look like a mess the next time I see Gilbert. I can¡¯t make him feel like I¡¯m a joke. I can¡¯t let him be proud of what he has done.¡® Kisa thought about it for a while and decided that Jolina¡¯s ce was the best hiding spot. Based on what she knew about Gilbert, he definitely would definitely be. searching high and low for her, including at Arie and Lea¡¯s ce. She never really interacted much with Jolina, so she knew Gilbert would never look for her here. Kisa wanted to use these few days to ponder on the reality that she had been living and to process everything ordingly. In the office of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO, Gilbert leaned back on the chair, smoking a cigarette silently. There was a disorganized look behind his eyes as if he was thinking about something. After some time, Kelvin and Davian walked into the office together. As soon as Kelvin went in, he sat on the sofa, picked up the bottle of water on the table, and took a huge sip. ¡°I went to the houses of everyone she knew, but I still couldn¡¯t find her,¡± he said. Gilbert narrowed his eyes, took a puff of his cigarette, and did not say anything. ¡°I¡¯ve searched all the hotels and hospitals in Calthon, but I could not find Ms. Becker either.¡± Davian pursed his lips and said in a low voice.

Don¡¯t you want to exin yourself to her? The misunderstanding will only get worse as more time passes by.¡± Gilbert stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the sky outside, which was dark, and said in a low voice, ¡°She¡¯s clearly hiding from me. What¡¯s the use if I find her? She doesn¡¯t believe in me anymore. That means she won¡¯t listen to my exnation.¡± Gilbert¡¯s tone was filled with unprecedented helplessness and sadness. It made Kelvin think of when he and Gracie were about to die. ¡®Fortunately for us, we¡¯re both fine now. But what about Gilbert and Kisa? Their problem seems more serious than the one I had with Gracie. If Mrs. Kooper Sr. does notpromise, Gilbert and Kisa will never resolve their problems.¡® Gilbert leaned against the window and looked at Davian. ¡°How¡¯s the investigation regarding the warden going?¡± ¡°I¨CI still haven¡¯t found his whereabouts yet, sir.

Instead, he just said,¡± Continue the investigation.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Kooper.¡± Carolyn halfy in Adrien¡¯s arms, peeling a grape and feeding it to him with a flirtatious smile on her face. ¡°Come, Mr. Tanner. Open up. Ahh,¡± At first, she was reserved in front of Adrien, acting educated and reasonable. But now, she had long abandoned her ethics and reservations. All she wanted to do was to cling onto Adrien. Carolyn was in her fifties, and her body was not in the best shape. In order to show herself off in front of Adrien, she dressed up in a sexy tube top dress with a face full of makeup. However, she did not look aesthetically pleasing. Instead, she looked like a clown, especially when she made all those tiny amorous gestures. The corners of Adrien¡¯s lips curled into a smile, but his brows and eyes showed indifference.

Besides, Christopher¡¯s wife used to be my good friend, who, since marrying into the Case family, had be haughty, and she started to ignore me.

Sharon smiled at Jensen. ¡°You seem to know Mr. Tanner well and oftene to see him.¡± ¡°I have business dealings with Mr. Tanner. So it is normal for me to see him, but you and Auntie Carolyn¡­¡± Jensen looked at Carolyn with a meaningful smile. Carolyn grunted sheepishly, ¡°I came here just to pass the time because this club was fun. Don¡¯t overthink.¡± With that, she brought Sharon and hurriedly left. Jensen sneered as he turned and went into the lounge. A pungent perfume smell assaulted his nostrils as soon as he entered. He frowned in disgust and sneered at the man sitting on the couch. ¡°Since when do I need to notify you when Ie to see you? Are you afraid I will spoil your fun with women?¡± ¡°Fun with women?¡± Adrien sneered, his face ruthless. Jensen could not care less about his nonsense, and he said to him coldly, ¡°Hand over Kisa now.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 888 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 888 Chapter 888 Darkness in Your Bones Only then did Adrien look him in the eye, and he smiled sarcastically. ¡°Gilbert is going crazy looking for that woman. I didn¡¯t know you were not any better.¡± ¡°Now that you have had your revenge, they-¡± ¡°I have had my revenge?¡± Adrien burst outughing as if he had heard something funny. Rising to his feet and walking up to Jensen, he looked into his dark eyes andughed like a madman. ¡°You think I have had my revenge after creating a misunderstanding between them? Jensen, you think too kindly of me.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Jensen¡¯s expression slightly changed, his eyes turning cold. ¡°Meaning that it is not enough, not by a long shot.¡± ¡°W¨CWhat else do you want?¡± ¡°I want GK Pictures, the Kooper family¡¯s property, and everyone in their family to be in misery.¡± Adrien took a drag and chuckled. ¡°This revenge is nothingpared to the pain I endured back then.¡°. Jensen stared with grave eyes at the intense hatred on his face, and after a long while, he said faintly, ¡°I just want Kisa to be safe.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. She is not in my hands. I won¡¯t harm her, as she is still greatly useful to me.¡± ¡°What else do you want to do with her?¡± Jensen frowned. ¡°Who else do you think would be better suited to take on Gilbert than her?¡± Adrien smiled wryly. ¡°You want to use her against Gilb¨¦rt?¡± Adrien puffed out a ring of smoke, turned around to sit on the couch, and then smiled, saying nothing. Jensen suddenly chuckled. ¡°Then your ns are going to fail. Kisa loves Gilbert, and no matter what, she won¡¯t hurt Gilbert. Even if they fall out now, it doesn¡¯t necessarily mean she will turn on him.¡± Adrien guffawed. ¡°That is because there hasn¡¯t been anything more provoking or despairing to give her a push.¡± Jensen¡¯s heart sank upon hearing this, and he asked in a bitter voice, ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Adrien did not answer but only smiled at him with an insidious look. Jensen clenched his hands at his sides. ¡°I don¡¯t care what you¡¯re going to do. Anyway, if you dare to hurt Kisa and Gilbert, then I won¡¯t spare you,¡± Jensen said and Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. walked out. Adrien suddenly called out to him. ¡°In fact, you have a heart of darkness. So why do you always force yourself to worry about them?¡± Adrien smoked a cigarette and smiled absently behind him. ¡°Jensen, oh, Jensen. No one knows you better than I do. In fact, you are eager to break them up more than anyone else. You want to see. Gilbert in misery, don¡¯t you?¡± Jensen clenched his hands at his sides and snickered. ¡°You think everyone is as dark as you are inside?¡± Adrien smiled meaningfully, but his face sank as soon as Jensen disappeared in the doorway. As much as he did not want to admit the existence of this child of his, he had to admit that his son was most like the younger version of him. Theplex emotions Jensen had for Gilbert momentarily reminded him of what he had done to Damon back then. Damon was the brightest guy of his time. The more outstanding Damon was, the more it set off Adrien¡¯s inferiority and darkness. Adrien was jealous of Damon, but he could not help wanting to be close to him. When he learned the news of Damon¡¯s death, he cried andughed simultaneously, unable to distinguish whether he was happy or sad. He only remembered that he had been drunk for two days and two nights at that time. During the night, Kisa could not fall asleep. She abruptly sat up from her bed and made up her mind. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 889 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 889 Chapter 889 Wrong Person She was going to make another trip to Hillsby. If the two jailers also admitted that Gilbert had threatened them, then she would never make excuses for him again. She considered this trip as a second chance for herself and Gilbert. She still felt that the warden and the two guards would not conspire to frame Gilbert. If all of them said that Gilbert was behind the fire and their words matched, she would stop doubting and ept the truth. But if the two jailers said that Gilbert had never threatened them, then she would have to rethink whatever the warden said. As the thought crossed her mind, there was a sudden sound of the door opening in the living room. She subconsciously looked at the time and saw that it was just after 1 am. Jolina told her earlier that she would only be back at 4 am. So she wondered if Jolina got off work early today. She didn¡¯t move but quietly listened. But the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Although she had not spent much time with Jolina, she knew Jolina was a rtively quiet girl who even walked quietly. But the footsteps in the living room were loud, like that of a man. While she was thinking, the door suddenly opened. Before she could react to it, a tall figure pounced on her, catching her off guard. She smelled an unfamiliar scent of a man, and it tinged with the smell of alcohol. Kisa panicked. The living room was faintly lit, and the light that shone into the bedroom was even fainter. As the man¡¯s back was against the light, Kisa could not make out his face. She struggled, but to no avail, as the man was grabbing both her wrists and holding them above her head. Before she could scream, the man yelled at her in exasperation. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°Why didn¡¯t you answer your phone when I called? Why are you avoiding me, huh?¡± Kisa was wide¨Ceyed as she found this voice somehow familiar, like Peter¡¯s. ¡®Indeed, indeed. This is Peter¡¯s voice. Aren¡¯t Peter and Jolina having some sort of rtionship?¡® Before the man did something to her, she hurriedly spoke out, ¡°I¡¯m not Jolina. I¡¯m not Jolina. Let go of me!¡± The air came to a standstill. Suddenly, the man swore and pulled away from her, and then the light was turned on at the sound of a click. Kisa had gotten up and was cowering in the corner of the room, staring at the man cautiously. It was really Peter. It seemed like he had gotten the wrong person. He looked cranky, his handsome face brimming with rage. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°This is Jolina¡¯s house. What has it to do with you that I¡¯m here?¡± Kisa said coldly, still hunkering down with a cautious look on her face. Once Peter saw her cautious look, he could not help but snicker. ¡°Come on. I¡¯m not interested in women like you.¡± ¡°Who knows? How can men be trusted? After all, you just pounced on me.¡± ¡°You!¡± Peter was so angry that he bared his teeth and glowered at her before striding out of the room. Kisa breathed a sigh of relief after he walked out. Not that she was afraid Peter would do anything to her. After all, from the fact that he pulled away as soon as he knew he had mistaken her for Jolina, he still had a sense of right and wrong, not too drunk to do something foolish. The only thing was that she was wearing Jolina¡¯s sleeping gown, which Jolina had her changed into when she brought her back yesterday, and facing a strange man in her sleeping gown was awkward. Kisa found a jacket and put it on before walking out. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 890 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 890 Chapter 890 Seeing Another Man Again Peter was sitting on the couch and smoking, looking mncholy. Kisa nced at him, then went and poured herself a ss of water. Holding the ss of water, she sat down on the other end of the couch and sipped on the water, with no intention of speaking first. Peter puffed out a ring of smoke and asked, ¡°Where is Jolina?¡± His tone of voice was anything but polite, like that of a debt collector. ¡®There is no wonder Jolina is avoiding him every time,¡® Kisa thought to herself and then said, ¡°I have no idea.¡± ¡°You have no idea?¡± Peter sneered. ¡°If you have no idea, then why the f*ck are you at her house?¡± ¡°Should I necessarily know where she is just because I¡¯m at her house?¡± Her reply dumbfounded him. He suddenly kicked the coffee table. ¡°Where the hell is Jolina? Are you going to tell me?¡± Looking at the man¡¯s angry face, Kisa said absently, ¡°She has left home since six o¡¯clock.¡± ¡°Since six o¡¯clock?¡± Peter frowned. ¡°What was she doing going out since six o¡¯clock? Is she seeing another man again?¡± It sounded so offensive. Kisa could not help but frown. ¡°Can you not speak so disgustingly? She-¡± While speaking, the door suddenly opened, and Jolina appeared in the doorway, panting. She had obviously run back, sweat trickling down her forehead, her face reddening from exhaustion. She took a quick nce inside, then walked briskly up to Kisa. ¡°Are you alright, Ms. Becker?¡± ¡°I¡¯m alright.¡± Kisa smiled at her. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Jolina breathed a sigh of relief. She was on a break when she saw Peter¡¯s message, saying that he was going to her house to look for her. And every tirne he came to her, he would force himself on her like crazy. She went to work at the barbecue restaurant, partly because she was short of money and partly because she was avoiding him. When she remembered Kisa was sleeping in her room tonight, she was worried that Peter might mistake Kisa for her and hurt Kisa, so she rushed back. It was fortunate that nothing had happened. The moment Peter saw Jolina, his anger red again. As he stood up and strode toward her, Jolina tugged on her canvas bag, her face turning pale, obviously frightened. Kisa frowned and quickly stood in front of Jolina, looking at Peter¡¯s ghastly face.¡± What do you want?¡± ¡°Get out of the way!¡± He was already frustrated when he mistook her for Jolina¨Cjust now. And now he got even more pissed with her meddling in his and Jolina¡¯s affair. Kisa was used to seeing Gilbert¡¯s grim and ruthless look, so facing an enraged Peter was not much scarier. She stood firm in front of Jolina. ¡°This is Jolina¡¯s house. If you create trouble again, I will call the police.¡± ¡°Heh, are you bluffing me?¡± Peter looked past Kisa at Jolina. ¡°She said she was going to call the police. What do you think?¡± Jolina lowered her eyes, tugging at Kisa¡¯s sleeve, and whispered to her, ¡°Forget it. I will talk to him outside.¡± ¡°But he-¡± ¡°It is okay. He won¡¯t stop until I talk to him.¡± Kisa pursed her lips, not knowing what else to do. ¡°All right then. If anything happens, call me.¡± As soon as Kisa¡¯s voice trailed off, Peter snickered and reached out to bring Jolina straight out of the door. Kisa frowned, feeling that Peter¡¯s temper was just as horrible as that of Gilbert¡¯s. ¡® Why can¡¯t these men talk properly but always yell at women?¡® Reminding her of Gilbert, she could not help but smile self¨C deprecatingly. ¡®Perhaps I would never forget this name for the rest of my life.¡® ¡°Can¡¯t I f*cking support you?

Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 891 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 891 Chapter 891 Searching High and Low for You Kisa found a magazine and was leaning back on the couch to read it when a sudden roar from outside the door shocked her. She stretched her neck to peek out at them but only saw a little spark of fire flickering on and off. Jolina¡¯s voice was so soft that Kisa could hardly hear what she was saying. All that she could hear was Peter growling incessantly, as if not afraid to wake up the neighbors. ¡°I warn you not to avoid me again, otherwise¡­¡± Peter did not finish his sentence, but the threat in his voice was obvious. Kisa did not hear Jolina answer, nor did Peter make another sound. It was quiet all of a sudden. Just when Kisa wondered if Peter had left, his voice suddenly sounded again, talking about her. ¡°Why is that woman in your house? Gilbert was looking high and low for her. I didn¡¯t know it was you who hid her.¡± ¡°I hope you will keep the whereabouts of Ms. Becker to yourself.¡± ¡°Why should I? I¡¯m going to tell Gilbert.¡± ¡°Peter!¡± Jolina raised her voice and then softened again. ¡°I¡¯m begging you.¡± ¡°Jolina, what the f*ck is wrong with you, begging me for someone irrelevant?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t beg him.¡± Kisa could not help herself and came out to pull Jolina over. ¡°Just let him tell Gilbert. It is no big deal.¡± Peter leaned against the wall, narrowing his eyes and staring at Kisa coldly. He then chuckled. ¡°I remembered the other day, you and Gilbert were still a lovey¨Cdovey couple, weren¡¯t you? Howe one of you is hiding in this shitty house, and the other is looking high and low for the other one? Did you guys break up?¡± Kisa pursed her lips, not wanting to talk about it. Jolina nced at her. She could almost guess what had happened after remembering how woeful and sad Kisa was yesterday. She said nothing and just red at Peter. ¡°Go now. I won¡¯t avoid you anymore.¡± . Peter grunted and said to Kisa. ¡°I saw Gilbert today. He looked as if he hadn¡¯t slept for days, haggard as hell. And his temper is getting worse and worse, like a bear with a sore head.¡± Kisa just treated Peter as telling a joke. She ignored him and brought Jolina back into the house, then mmed the door shut behind them. Peter stared at the closed door with an amusing smile on his face. As soon as they got inside, Jolina apologized to Kisa. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t know that Peter woulde over tonight.¡± Kisa asked her with a serious face. ¡°So, did Peter threaten you with something? Tell me, and I will help you.¡± Jolina shook her head. ¡°No, he didn¡¯t threaten me. Sometimes he even helped me. Just that¡­ just that¡­¡± Feeling said, Jolina lowered her eyes and said nothing more. Kisa figured it must be something from the past that Jolina did not want to mention. So she pursed her lips and stopped asking. She changed the subject and said, ¡± Thank you for taking me in these two days. I will leave tomorrow.¡± Jolina was shocked. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you would stay for a few days? Why do you have to leave after just one day? Is it because of Peter?¡± ¡°Of course not.¡± Kisa smiled at her. ¡°It is just that there is something I need to check on. Also, do you have a car I could borrow for a few days?¡± Jolina was hesitant. ¡°Yeah, but it is a gift from Peter. It has been parked outside for days, and I haven¡¯t driven it once.¡± ¡°Then lend me the car for a few days. Just treat it as I borrow it from him. I will tell him afterward.¡± Kisa figured it was better to use Peter¡¯s car, as this way, Gilbert would not be able to track her down. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Jolina looked at her, wanting to say something but hesitated. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 892 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 892 Chapter 892 Suicide Kisa smiled at her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is it because it is not inconvenient?¡± ¡°No.¡± Jolina quickly shook her head. ¡°It is just¡­ It is just¡­ Where are you going? Can you take me with you?¡± Kisa was startled for a moment. ¡°Don¡¯t you have a part¨Ctime job at night?¡± ¡°I left without permission while on duty, so my boss got angry and fired me,¡± Jolina said, lowering her head. ¡°But it is okay if you don¡¯t feel convenient taking me with you. 1-¡± I ¡°Of course, it is convenient. It couldn¡¯t have been better; we can take turns driving, as it is a long journey.¡± Kisa had no doubt that Jolina wanted to make this trip with her purely to avoid Peter. In the study, Gilbert leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed, seemingly asleep. Madalyn walked quietly over to him, ced a bowl of chicken gnhi soup on the desk, and then called out softly to him. There was no response. Madalyn sighed silently, then hunched over to clean up the messy papers on the desk. Suddenly, a piece of paper partly obscured, stuck out. The name Kisa on the paper was ringly prominent. She trembled as she pulled the paper out. [Kisa, I¡¯m sorry.] Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. The handwriting was slightly out of shape, and the paper was chafed from the hard writing. ¡®Why did Gilbert apologize to that woman? Isn¡¯t he just using her and didn¡¯t like her at all? Why would he apologize to her? Or is it that he actually has feelings for that woman, but because of me¡­¡® Madalyn¡¯s frail body trembled at the thought of a certain possibility. She looked at Gilbert. ¡°Why?¡± She questioned him. ¡°Why did you apologize to her? Why did you feel guilty about her? Didn¡¯t you say you had no feelings for her? Huh?¡± But no matter how loudly she asked, Gilbert did not respond, his eyes remaining closed. Madalyn panicked. She tugged at Gilbert¡¯s arm with a trembling hand. ¡°Gilbert, I¡¯m talking to you. Gilbert?¡± Madalyn¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Gilbert, please don¡¯t scare me, Gilbert!¡± The first rays of the morning sun rose to the sound of Madalyn¡¯s fearful screams. The entire Kooper family was in chaos. Kisa took a nap before dawn and woke up at noon. Jolina had already packed her things and even prepared a meal. She was extremelypetent. Kisa got up and dug in straight away, feeling slightly embarrassed. But Jolina did not mind at all. While eating, she felt uneasy and asked Kisa, ¡°Didn¡¯t Peter say yesterday that he would tell Mr. Kooper about your whereabouts? I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. He was just saying it for fun. If he really wanted to tell Gilbert, Gilbert would havee over a long time ago. He wouldn¡¯t have waited until now.¡± Jolina nodded. ¡°That is good.¡± After eating, Kisa helped Jolina clean up the house before the two of them left the house with their luggage. The car Peter gave to Jolina was parked in the courtyard, covered with dust. It was a bright red car, which showed that Peter was not at all thoughtful. As Jolina was more of a quiet type of girl, she would not like a car with such a shy color. But it was a good car. Kisa got in the car and drove it out of the courtyard when a ck car followed them. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 893 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 893 Chapter 893 Driving Him to His Death Jolina still felt embarrassed when she was in the car. She asked Kisa, ¡°I¡¯m not interrupting your work by following, am I?¡± ¡°Of course not. Let¡¯s think of it as going on a driving tour.¡± ¡®Yeah, think of it as a trip. I can also just take a break and relieve my emotions. When we get to Hillsby, if the words of the two jailers match what the warden said, then there will be no more internal struggle and illusions,¡± Kisa said in her mind. In the Kooper residence, Madalyn sat dumbfounded by Gilbert¡¯s bedside. She could never have imagined that her understanding grandson, who had always been willing to listen, would take such a large amount of sleeping pills. ¡®Did he want to kill himself? she asked in her mind, covering her face, sobbing with grief. Kelvin stood by in sadness. He looked at Gilbert¡¯s lean face and struggled internally. After a long silence, he finally said, ¡°Please leave Gilbert alone, Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡± Madalyn shuddered and looked at him. ¡°What did you say? Have I ever tied or locked him up? He is my most beloved grandson. I love him more than anything.¡± ¡°But by hurting yourself, you are forcing him¨Cforcing him to give up his happiness,¡± Kelvin said in a sad tone of voice. ¡°Do you know how miserable Gilbert has been living these days? He has barely eaten anything. He told me he had terrible insomnia and that all he could think about was Kisa leaving. He was in grief, scared, and did N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. not know what to do. He told me he wanted to be free. Just wanted to be free.¡± Colors faded from Madalyn¡¯s face. ¡°So, all those cruel words Gilbert said to that woman the other day were really just an act, just to show me?¡± ¡°What is the use of talking about it now when Kisa won¡¯t trust Gilbert anymore? He has lost the woman he loves, and he has lost his happiness,¡± Kelvin said. Madalyn suddenly snorted, ¡°It is better that woman is gone. She better really never bother Gilbert again.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you understand that by losing that woman, Gilbert doesn¡¯t even have the desire to live? Can¡¯t you see that?¡± ¡°No, he won¡¯t. After that woman is gone, there will be other women, and Gilbert will eventually find his true happiness.¡± Seeing her stubborn attitude, Kelvin shook his head helplessly. As Gilbert had said, there was a deadlock between Madalyn and Kisa, and no one could undo it. ¡°The way you are, you will drive Gilbert to his death, eventually,¡± Kelvin said, then turned around and walked out. Madalyn was so scared that even her hands shook with it. ¡®I will drive Gilbert to his death eventually? No, that is impossible! I couldn¡¯t even love my grandson enough; how could I drive him to his death? But why do I panic so much, especially seeing Gilbert¡¯s pale face, as if I¡¯m engulfed in fear?¡® Madalyn clutched Gilbert¡¯s hand, tears clouding her eyes. ¡®Am I really wrong, Gilbert?¡® Just then, Gilbert slowly opened his eyes. Only after staring nkly at the ceiling for a long time did his eyes focus on Madalyn. He let out a smile, but his face still looked pale. ¡°Grandma, why are you crying? What happened?¡± ¡°You just scared me.¡± Madalyn punched him in anger. ¡°How could you take sleeping pills to kill yourself? You scared the hell out of me.¡± Gilbert could not help butugh at this. ¡°Taking sleeping pills to kill myself? Grandma, you are mistaken.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 894 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 894 Chapter 894 A Suspicious Vehicle Madalyn sobbed. ¡°How could I be mistaken? Kelvin came to see you. He said you took a lot of sleeping pills, and if discovered anyter, you might not have survived.¡± Madalyn was still in perturbation. But Gilbert looked calm, even having an indifferent smile on his face. ¡°I didn¡¯t kill myself. I just couldn¡¯t sleep and took a few sleeping pills. It was just that those sleeping pills weren¡¯t very effective, so I had a couple more by ident.¡± He sounded as if it was not a big deal, but Madalyn¡¯s heart still twitched with perturbation. She held Gilbert¡¯s hand tightly and said, ¡°Promise me you won¡¯t do this again. I¡¯m terrified.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Grandma. I won¡¯t kill myself. I have to take care of you. I can¡¯t leave you alone in this world.¡± Madalyn¡¯s heart ached to see his pale, smiling face. ¡®Is it true, as Kelvin has said, that I would drive him to his death?¡® She lowered her head slightly and rested her forehead against the back of his hand, feeling so bad. She was afraid that Gilbert would be hurt even more despite everything she did was for his sake. But she just could not understand why things turned out this way. She asked herself if she was wrong. At this moment, Madalyn¡¯s stubborn attitude began to waver. Calthon had been raining heavily for days, but it was sunny on the way to Hillsby. This trip was unlike thest one. During thest trip, there were killers chasing her all the way, and she was on pins and needles the whole time. But this time, it was more rxed, and she was not as tense as previously. Just that what happened in the past two days was making her a little down. Kisa was not thinking about what she would get when she got to Hillsby, only knowing she would know everything when she got there. Jolina rolled down the car window to enjoy the refreshing, natural breeze of the countryside. Kisa slowed the car down a bit and smiled at Jolina. ¡°It is nice to live in the countryside, as the natural scenery is so calming.¡± ¡°Absolutely. In this weather, there will be many fireflies at night. And we can also go catch fish in the creek during the day,¡± Jolina said with excitement. ¡°I came from the countryside. The scenery there is really beautiful. I will take you to see it when you are free.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kisa smiled at her, liking this little girl more and more. Suddenly, she frowned as she nced at the car in the rearview mirror. ¡°Is that car following behind us all Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. the time?¡± she asked. Jolina straightened up and stuck her head out to look back at it. She then shrank back and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. I just remember that when we left the city, there were several cars behind us, but when we got to the outskirts, there was only this one left. I don¡¯t know if it happened to be going in the same direction as us.¡± After thest experience, Kisa became more cautious. Whether the car behind them just happened to travel in the same direction as they were, they had to get to town and find a ce to stay before it got dark. Fortunately, it was now summer, and darkness camete. It was after six when they arrived in town but not yet dark. Kisa noticed that as soon as their car pulled into the town, the car behind them drove off down another road. She could not help but be relieved, as it looked like the other car had indeed just happened to travel in the same direction as them. Kisa found a better hotel. Fearing for their safety, she and Jolina checked into a room, staying together for the night so that they could look out for each other. After entering the room, and just two minutes after they sat down, a sound was heard in the hallway outside. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 895 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 895 Chapter 895 Harassed ¡°We have a lot of empty rooms here. Why do you have to stay in this one? I told you that this room has problems. The shower head in the bathroom is broken, you¡­¡± ¡°Okay, okay. It is okay if you insist on staying in this one. Feel free to call the reception if you have any questions.¡± Opening the door slightly ajar, Kisa saw the female receptionist, whom she had dealt with earlier, grinning from ear to ear as she counted a stack of $100 bills in her hands. Kisa figured that there must be some newly rich, so she looked to the side, but only saw the door of the room next door open and close, but did not get to see the person. She then came back in and closed the door behind her. Jolina looked at her in puzzlement. ¡°What is wrong, Ms. Becker?¡± Kisa smiled at her. ¡°Call me Kisa. Ms. Becker is too formal.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Jolina nodded. ¡°Hello, Kisa.¡± ¡°That¡¯s more like it.¡± Kisa let out a smile and then walked over. ¡°I just thought the guest next door was a little weird. Why pay so much money for a room with so many problems?¡± Jolina thought for a second and said, ¡°Maybe it is the lightness in that room, or maybe it is the quietness. For rich people, they prefer to live in what they want to live in, not in the best.¡± ¡°That makes sense.¡± Kisaughed. After taking a short break, Jolina suggested going out to get something to eat. Kisa also thought of taking a stroll around the town. It was not veryte, and many people should still be on the streets in the summer. Besides, no one knew her here, so there was no stress while going out. They found a stall serving kebabs. They sat down, and Jolina ordered a lot. Kisa was in a trance when she saw when the stall owner was serving the kebabs. It was Gilbert who took her to eat kebabs the last few times. He said he hated her, but he pampered her. He was no fan of kebab, but because she liked it, he would always bring her to eat kebabs. Gilbert was so gentle and considerate at that time, but later, he told her it was all a lie. So it saddened Kisa at the thought of this. She could not help but order a bottle of beer. Jolina did not drink but just silently watched Kisa have it. Despite Kisa being all smiles for the past two days, Jolina could tell that they were weak. She understood it took time to get over a breakup, and if it was a deep wound, it could take forever to heal. She could not help but think of her own situation and was instantly ovee with mncholy. Jolina poured herself a beer ss and took a mouthful, just like Kisa did. But she choked because she was not used to the taste. She fought back her coughing and furrowed her brow in disgust. ¡°This tastes horrible. How can you even drink it?¡± Jolina looked at the beer with a look of indescribable distaste. Kisa looked at her and could not hold back herughter. She put the soda in front of her and said, ¡°You¡¯d better drink this. Don¡¯t be too hard on yourself.¡± ¡°Yo, beauties, you two are drinking alone?¡± Threeds suddenly came over. Their hair was dyed yellow, their attire off¨Cthe¨Cwall. By the looks of it, they were most likely school dropouts¨Cturned¨Cgangsters. Jolina moved nervously closer to Kisa, who looked calmly at the three guys. ¡°We don¡¯t like to be disturbed when we are having our meal. So please leave.¡± ¡°Yo, what a cold fish. But I insist on having a drink with you two.¡± One guy cheekily sat down at their table, and the other two followed suit, swarming at the tiny rectangr table. Jolina was a little scared. She kept her head down and said nothing. Kisa did not want to mess with the three jerks either, so she grabbed Jolina¡¯s hand and was ready to leave.

The person came up and tried to hug her, looking lecherous. ¡°Hey, beauty. Don¡¯t be afraid. I just want to have a drink with you. What is there to be afraid of?¡± Jolina¡¯s face turned pale in fright. Kisa pulled the man away, raising her hand to p him. ¡°Get the hell out of my sight!¡± Kisa hit him so hard that the punk crashed into the other two. It took the punk a few seconds before he knew what had happened. He then barked at his two underlings, ¡°Go get the two chicks! I will teach them a lesson today.¡± ¡°Who do you want to teach a lesson to?¡± A deep, cold voice suddenly came from a direction. Kisa looked in surprise at the tall guy that appeared out of nowhere. ¡®Isn¡¯t that Peter?¡® He was standing there with a cigarette in his mouth, lookingckadaisical, but his aura was not to be messed with. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the three punks. ¡°Tell me whom you want to teach a lesson to.¡± The three punks were just paper tigers¨Call talk but no show. When they saw Peter, they chickened out, looking at each other, and no one dared to say a word. Peter smirked, and then took a step toward the punk, who had just grabbed Jolina. ¡± Which hand did you just use to touch my woman, huh?¡± ¡°His woman?¡® Kisa nced at Jolina again, but only to see her biting her lower lip, looking indignant. Kisa pursed her lips, having almost guessed what this was all about. ¡°Ouch!¡± the punk screamed all of a sudden as Peter was twisting his wrist. The other two punks saw this and were scared the hell out of them. They kept a distance for fear of getting into trouble. At that moment, the stall owner hurriedly came, trying to stop the fight. ¡°Please don¡¯t be angry with them, sir. These guys like to talk nonsense, but they don¡¯t have bad intentions. We all know them here; they just like to tease girls, really. Just let him go.¡± Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Jolina did not want to make a big deal out of it, either. So she shouted at Peter, ¡± That¡¯s enough.¡± She then brought Kisa and walked back toward the hotel. Kisa nced at Jolina¡¯s face and knew that she was not happy. Jolina came out with her to avoid Peter, yet Peter was following her. Peter yanked the punk away and then caught up with the two of them. As the two arrived in front of their hotel room, Peter walked past them nonchntly, and opened the door to the room next door. Kisa was wide¨Ceyed. ¡®No wonder. It turns out that the person who is staying next door is him.

But Peter was not angry. He just smiled. ¡°Nothing that I want. I¡¯m just protecting you two.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Jolina was so angry that she did not know what else to say. She pushed the door open and entered the room. Kisa stared at Peter thoughtfully, asking, ¡°You followed us all the way just to protect us?¡± Peter sneered, ¡°Who cares about you? I¡¯m just afraid that you will abduct Jolina. I don¡¯t mean to be mean, but what are you doing here in this goddamn ce with Jolina? What if you two meet the wrong people?¡± Peter said, his tone of voice getting serious. Kisa stared at him for a long while, thinking, ¡®It seems that he came all the way here Peter just for Jolina.¡¯ She said nothing more. As she was about to enter the room, suddenly called out to her.

Peter stared at that closed door andughed scornfully. ¡°Women are such heartless creatures.¡± He just wanted to tell her that Gilbert might have tried to end his life by taking sleeping pills. Peter gave up the idea of doing that since Kisa showed no interest in knowing about what happened to Gilbert. Jolina spaced out as she cooped up on the couch, looking a little sad. Kisa went toward her and grabbed her hand. Then, she asked softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is it because of him?¡± Jolina looked at her with tears rolling in her eyes as if she had been trying to suppress her feelings for her a long time. Suddenly, shey in Kisa¡¯s arms and started crying. Kisa patted her back lightly and consoled her, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m here. I won¡¯t let him do anything to you.¡± ¡°I should¡¯ve just left him alone. I shouldn¡¯t trust him at all.

Kisa pursed her lips as she had no idea how to make her feel better. The only thing that she could do is to let her cry her heart out. ¡®Perhaps she¡¯d feel a lot better after crying.¡¯ Kisa thought to herself. Heavy rain poured down again at night in Calthon. Gilbert stood at the window as he quietly watched the thunder striking across the sky. He remembered that Kisa hated rain very much, especially a thunderstorm like this. The sound of thunder crackling would frighten her and keep her up at night. ¡®Is she asleep now? Or is she huddling in the corner of her bed fearfully?¡® His heart ached when he thought about how helpless and fragile Kisa would look. In such weather, the only thing that he wanted to do was to hold Kisa in his arms tightly and let her fall asleep without worry. He would feel like he had everything thing in the world just by looking at her restful sleeping face. Gilbert would give her a call every day in thest couple of days, but her phone was never switched on. He also would go to her ce to wait for her every day, but she just would not show up. He had no idea where to look for her. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. He was afraid that she would avoid him like this for the rest of her life. The rest of her life! He did not even dare to imagine how long that would be. Madalyn came inside silently. Madalyn¡¯s wrinkly eyes looked a little unsettled as she gazed at Gilbert¡¯s slim figure. Then, she said to him, ¡°Gilbert, it¡¯s almost twelve. Why don¡¯t you go to bed?¡± ¡°Grandma, I¡¯m not sleepy yet. You should sleep first. I¡¯m good.¡± Gilbert responded without even turning his head. His deep voice sounded a little dejected. Madalyn pursed her lips and left the study room quietly. She was worried that Gilbert might try to secretly consume sleeping pills again, so she woulde over to check up on him from time to time. Even though he did not do that, he stayed awake for the whole night. He would be smoking while sitting on the chair whenever Madalyn came to see him. His handsome face started to look more haggard and dulled. Madalyn watched him silently as her heart tightened. The next morning, she dialed Kelvin¡¯s number. Kelvin immediately got out of his bed after receiving Madalyn¡¯s call early in the ?? morning. He walked outside while putting on his clothes. ¡°Did something happen to Gilbert again?¡± ¡°No. I just wanted to ask you what will happen to him if things keep going on like this. Kelvin stopped walking as he put his hand on the banister. Then, he said after deliberation, ¡°He¡¯d probably be depressed if this goes on for a long time. Also, his body will copse.¡± Madalyn¡¯s body shook. She put down her phone and nkly stared at the pouring rain outside.

Peter took two boxes of water and put them in the truck and Kisa even bought some snacks. They were going to drive through some mountain roadster, and they would not pass by any convenient stores or towns anymore. Kisa remembered that she did not dare to drive up the mountains because of how narrow and rugged it was. It was Gilbert who took the wheel in the end. However, Peter would probably be recing Gilbert this time. After all, his driving skill was a lot better than Kisa¡¯s. Ever since Peter appeared in that little town, he just would not leave them alone. He even offered to be their driver. Indeed, they felt a lot safer with a man. Kisa was fine with Peter following them. She thought that he would evene in handy when necessary. But Jolina did not like him very much. She treated him with a cold face during the whole journey and she did not speak to him at all. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Suddenly, Peter handed Jolina a bottle of water to close the gap between them. However, Jolina ignored himpletely as if he was invisible. Peter would tremble with rage whenever Jolina did this to him. However, there was nothing he could do about it. So, he went to the side and lit up a cigarette. Kisa went beside him and squatted down like how he did. She nced at his angry face and said with a smile, ¡°Anyway, I¡¯ve got to thank you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m not doing this for you anyway.¡± Peter purposely blew the cigarette smoke at her as if he was very irritated. Kisa arched her brows and coughed. Then, she stood up and went back into the car, leaving him alone. Peter got into the car too after finishing another stick of cigarette. None of them spoke as the car continued to move forward. As expected, they did not pass by any more towns after that. Kisa checked the GPS, and it was just going to be mountain roads all the way. The sky outside the window had turnedpletely dark. Kisa said to Peter, who was driving, ¡°We can stop the car and take a break if you¡¯re feeling tired.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m very energized. You guys should sleep if you¡¯re tired. There¡¯s nothing much for you to do in the car anyway.¡± Peter said without turning his head.back. Jolina was clutching the corner of her shirt. Her face was a little pinkish as if she was holding something back. Suddenly, the car went over a pothole, and it bumped along. Jolina clutched her shirt even tighter as her face became red. She gritted her teeth and said to Peter, ¡°Stop the car. Stop the car now.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Peter asked, but he kept driving anyway. Jolina bit her lips as if she was too embarrassed to answer Peter¡¯s question. Kisa could not help but look at her. She suddenly understood what was going on when she saw how Jolina clutched her stomach. She looked away and said to Peter, ¡°Jolina is worried about you being too tired to drive, so she told you to stop the car and rest. Just stop the car now.¡± Peter could not help but lift the edge of his mouth after he heard what Kisa said. After that, he pulled the car over. Peter unbuckled his seatbelt before turning around to ask Jolina, ¡°Just tell me directly if you¡¯re worried about me. I¡­¡± Jolina immediately pushed the car door open and ran outside before Peter could finish talking. Peter looked at Kisa confusedly. Kisa waved her hand. ¡°Let¡¯s take a break here since the car has stopped.¡± She went out of the car and walked in Jolina¡¯s direction after saying that. Peter took a stick of cigarette out and lit it fretfully. Then, he said with a sarcastic smile, ¡°Worried about me? They only asked me to stop the car because they wanted to take a leak. Sigh. They could¡¯ve just told me directly. There¡¯s no need to lie and give me fake hope!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Peter heard somebody yelling as soon as he was doneining to himself. He trembled.

Peter panicked and shouted Jolina¡¯s name. Then, he quickly went down and tried to help her up. However, he suddenly felt like he stepped on something. He heard somebody yelling again. Peter looked down in shock and found himself stepping on Kisa¡¯s wrist. He had no idea Kisa was just lying down beside him all this while. He quickly put his foot away and smiled awkwardly. ¡°How did just get under my foot?¡± The man was so heavy, and the pain Kisa felt was excruciating. Kisa held her wrist and sat up before shouting at Peter, ¡°Are you f*cking blind? The moon is so bright, yet you couldn¡¯t see me at all?!¡± ¡°Ah! I really didn¡¯t know you were there. I could only see Jolina.¡± Peter ran down the slope as he said that and immediately helped Jolina up. Even though Kisa was angry, she smiled after looking at how worried Peter looked. ¡®Indeed, men would only care about the woman they love. The love of their lives is the only person they can see. ¡®If Gilbert was here¡­¡® The smile on her face froze when she thought of Gilbert. ¡®No way.

Then, she went to Kisa and asked, ¡°Kisa, are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Kisa replied with a smile. Jolina was the one who slipped and rolled down the slope just now. Kisa wanted to grab Jolina, but she lost her bnce and fell. Peter crossed his arms and looked at them scornfully. ¡°I have no idea what to say. This is ridiculous.¡± Jolina pursed her lips without saying anything. Kisa stood up and held Jolina¡¯s arm before walking back to the car with her. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Three of them rested for a while there. Then, they went on with their journey. Things went rather smoothly after that, and they caught up with their schedule. In the afternoon, the car finally drove into a path that Kisa was familiar with. She remembered that Hillsby was located right at the end of that path. Hillsby sat at the foot of a hill, and it was surrounded by many other mountains. That path was the only way to get into Hillsby. However, the look on Kisa¡¯s face changed as the car started to go farther down the path. They reached the end of the path, yet they could not see a single house. Finally, Peter stopped the car in a spacious and empty space. There was no road ahead and mountains were the only things they could see. Peter turned around and looked at Kisa before he asked confusedly, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did we take a wrong turn?¡± ¡°N¨Cno¡­¡± Kisa mumbled softly. She got out of the car stiffly and she was shocked by the scene before her. Those shabby tiled houses were all gone, and the ground was full of dust and some shattered tiles. She could also see some household goods like bowls and pots scattered around the ground. That vige disappeared. All those small, tiled houses were destroyed. ¡®You¡¯d better tell me the truth about what happened behind that fire back then. Otherwise, I¡¯m going to raze this vige to the ground. I mean it!¡® Kisa suddenly thought of what Gilbert said to threaten the two prison guards back then. Her body felt weak, and she slumped to the ground. ¡°Kisa¡­¡± Jolina spoke softly as she immediately tried to help Kisa up. Kisa¡¯s blood froze in her veins as she stared at what was in front of her. ¡®How did the vige be like this? Did Gilbert really do what he said to the two prison guards?¡® ¡°Argh¡­ I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Suddenly, a hoarse and hostile roar was heard as the sharp wind blew¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 900 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 900 Chapter 900 The Truth Kisa lifted her head, horrified. Then, somebody was swinging a bat as thick as her arm barbed with wire at her. Kisa¡¯s face turned pale, and she froze in ce. When the barbed wire bat was about tond on her, Peter stretched out his arm and took the hit for her. The barbed wire on the bat pierced right into Peter¡¯s flesh. Then, blood started flowing out of his strong arm. ¡°Peter!¡± Jolina yelled. Then, she saw Peter lifting his foot and kicking the person who attacked them. The person let go of the bat and he staggered backward before falling to the ground. Kisa looked at that person and found out that she was one of the prison guards she had talked to with Gilbert. The barbed wire bat was still stuck on Peter¡¯s arm, and it hurt just by looking at it. Jolina was stunned silent as she stared at the blood on Peter¡¯s arm in fear. After falling to the ground, the prison guard immediately tried to get up and run away. Peter¡¯s gaze turned cold. He ripped the bat off his arm and swung it at the prison guard. The batnded on her ankle. It hurt her so much, that her leg bent, and shey t on the ground. Kisa recollected herself and immediately went to pin the prison guard down. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. After that, Jolina hurriedly went to help too. Peter shook the blood off his arm and walked toward them. ¡°You wicked people. All of you deserve to die.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart sank as she gazed at the hatred and aggressive look of the prison guard. Then, she asked nervously, ¡°What happened to this vige? How did everything happen?¡± ¡°Gilbert Kooper. Gilbert Kooper is the one who did it.¡± Kisa froze and she was left speechless. Peter brought his brows together and asked in a deep voice, ¡°What exactly happened? Tell us everything.¡± Suddenly, the prison guard screamed and started crying. Peter picked the prison guard up and dragged her to the car. Then, he held her against the wheel. Jolina grabbed Kisa¡¯s arm and followed them. The prison guard red at Kisa as if Kisa was her bitterest enemy. Kisa took a deep breath and asked, ¡°What exactly happened after we left that day?¡± ¡°Gilbert Kooper is a demon, a heartless killer. He told us that if we¡¯d just y along and convince you that the fire had nothing to do with him, he¡¯d let us go and not hurt us. However, his men came right after both of you left the vige.¡± The prison guard gritted her teeth and continued, ¡°I can still remember every single thing that happened that day. Those men invaded our vige and smashed all our houses. They said that they were going to destroy our home and kill all of us too. ¡°We ran for our lives and hid from them. The only thing that we could do is to watch them burn our vige to ashes in a ravine. I hate him. I hate that demon who lied to us!¡± Kisa sat nkly on the ground. She could not get another word out of her mouth anymore. Peter nced at the prison guard and asked, ¡°Why are you still here then? Where are the others?¡± ¡°The other vigers went to another ce and settled down. The men in our vige are working very far from home and we lost contact with them after the vige was destroyed. We¡¯re worried that they won¡¯t be able to find us anywhere when they get back, so we would send someone toe here every day to look around. Hmph. But I wasn¡¯t expecting to see this woman here again at all.¡± That prison guard said as she shifted her vicious gaze at Kisa. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 901 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 901 Chapter 901 Everything Is Clear Now Kisa only felt somewhat suffocated in her chest. She grabbed the jailer¡¯s clothes and questioned, ¡°That means what you told me earlier was false?¡± ¡°Of course, that man had been threatening us after all.¡± The jailer then spat, ¡°He was the main culprit behind that fire. He even gave the warden a beauty, and the things we said back then were not said for you on purpose, but we had really heard Gilbert Kooper say that to the warden. We just said it out loud outside your cell since we thought you were going to die and did not want you to die, not knowing why.¡± Kisa sat on the ground, dumbfounded. Her brain was so numb she could no longer think. ¡°Miss Kisa, are you alright?¡± Jolina asked worriedly. Kisa¡® shook her head like a robot and did not make a sound. Peter frowned and hissed at the jailer, ¡°You better be speaking the truth this time, or I¡¯ll skin you alive, and you¡¯ll never see your vige people again.¡± ¡°Do it then. I¡¯m speaking the truth. I shouldn¡¯t believe Gilbert Kooper back then. Even if you don¡¯t kill me now, he¡¯ll send someone after me sooner orter. I¡¯m not afraid of anything now. I just want to see that man pay!¡± Kisa turned to the side and closed her eyes in sorrow. With this, she could no longer make any more excuses for that man. What the jailer said was almost identical to what the warden had told her. ¡®For two people who were separated so far apart to be saying the same thing¡­¡® ¡®Does that not prove what they say is true?¡® Kisa suddenly felt dizzy, but fortunately, Jolina had been holding onto her. Peter nced at her, pursed his lips, and was at a loss for words. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. To begin with, he was not interested in this woman¡¯s business, but as it had something to do with Gilbert, he listened in. He totally did not expect Gilbert to be such a ruthless person. ¡®Tch!¡® ¡®So the rumors about himmitting suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills were false. Thank goodness I kept my mouth shut.¡® ¡°Kill me if you want. I don¡¯t care. What I told you is the truth. It¡¯s up to you to believe it or not.¡± The jailer¡¯s resentful look made it difficult to doubt her. Peter looked at Kisa and asked, ¡°Do you have any other thing to ask this woman?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡®There is nothing more to ask. Everything is clear now.¡® Peter pursed his lips, giving the jailer the boot as he growled, ¡°Get lost then. Confirm your target first before striking. She¡¯s not Gilbert Kooper.¡± The jailer did not tarry and immediately fled. Worried that the jailer was lying, Peter even followed her the way out. After a while, by the time he got back, Kisa was already in the car while Jolina was with her. Peter lit up a cigarette and took a puff before walking over to them. He did not get in the car but instead stood by the side of the car as he said to Kisa, That woman might be telling the truth. I followed her about half the way back and saw her running into a mountain col. There were a few small temporary shelters, and I only saw some old women going in and out of it. ¡°¡­ Yeah.¡± Kisa only gave a meek response and did not say anything else. Peter could not see her face but could tell her voice was very weary. It was inexplicably depressing. He did not say anything else as he turned toward the foot of the mountain and continued to smoke. A momentter, Jolina got down from the car as well. She nced at Peter before slowly making her way toward him. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 902 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 902 Chapter 902 Compromise The blood stains on Peter¡¯s hand had almost dried but the wounds from the barbs were still quite terrifying, looking like tiny, bloodied holes. Jolina gripped the wet tissue in her hand tightly. She walked over and squatted before Peter. ¡°Is your arm¡­ alright?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you see? What¡¯s that question for?¡± Peter inexplicably felt a little angry.. He had rolled up his sleeves, and his entire arm was exposed. The bloodstains could be seen at a nce, and there was no need to ask that question. When Jolina asked him like that, he felt it to be a little fake. It would be better if she had just ignored him. Seeing that he had lost his temper for no reason, Jolina stopped asking and tossed the pack of wet wipes to him. ¡°Miss Kisa asked me to give this to you. Wipe up your wounds, don¡¯t let them get infected.¡± The woman then left. Peter stared at her back. The mes in his eyes were about to burst out. He sneered in a fury. ¡°How heartless!¡± If the man she loved were injured, she would be panicking by now. Thinking of this, he tossed the wet wipes onto the ground. A faint menacing look appeared on his handsome face. Jolina walked back but did not get into the car. Instead, she went to the back of the car and leaned against it. She could hear bursts of muffled cryinging from the car, which was hard to listen to. She lowered her gaze, and her mood, too, turned downcast. Back in the Kooper residence, Gilbert slowly opened his eyes and what he saw was Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s anxious and Kelvin¡¯s gloomy faces. He was taken aback and smiled, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why the dour faces?¡± ¡°You have to cheek to ask, falling sick like that. Come get up and eat something.

Gilbert gave the IV drip stuck onto the back of his hand and chuckled, ¡°I¡¯ve not fallen sick for a long while already.

Go look in the mirror and see how haggard youConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . are.¡± Gilbert smiled and did not respond. Mrs. Kooper Sr. brought a bowl of porridge to him. ¡°Come, eat something.¡± Gilbert pushed the bowl away. ¡°No, Grandma, I¡¯m not hungry.¡± ¡°What nonsense. How long has it been since youst ate? Do you intend to rely on this IV drip?¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. said angrily, her heart pained. Gilbert lowered his head and stopped talking. After a while, he muttered, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll live on. I won¡¯t do anything stupid.¡± His appearance made everyone angry and distressed. Mrs. Kooper Sr. took a deep breath as she said to him, ¡°Eat up and get well soon; only then will you have the strength to see that Kisa Becker, no?¡± Gilbert was shocked as he looked at her in disbelief. Even Kelvin could not believe it. ¡®When did Grandma make peace with this?¡® Gilbert looked at her with some uncertainty, ¡°You¡­ are no longer against me being together with Kisa?¡± ¡°Hah, how would I dare to anymore? If I persist, you will probably kill yourself in front of me,¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr. said angrily. Gilbert immediately shook his heart, ¡°No, I told you before, I¡¯ll never leave you alone.¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s heart twitched as she suddenly hugged him. ¡°Silly child. Grandma had thought things through in the past few days. Since you insist on that woman regardless of everything, then I won¡¯t object to it any longer. Better this than watching you being depressed like this.¡± ¡°Thank you, Grandma.¡± Gilbertughed softly. His eyes, however, felt a little warm. Kelvin said happily, ¡°Great. Since Grandma hase to apromise, I¡¯m sure Kisa will listen to you and understand the hardship you¡¯re going through.

Kelvin immediately held him down. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°I want to look for her.¡± ¡°Enough. Lie back down,¡± Kelvin pushed him back into the bed and growled, ¡°Get well first. You¡¯ll scare her away like this. Also, there¡¯s no news about her whereabouts yet. I¡¯ll let you know once we find her.¡± Gilbert immediately frowned. ¡®Yeah, there¡¯s no news about her whereabouts yet. Where did she hide herself?¡¯ He then looked at the clear sky outside. Although Grandma had alreadypromised with him, he was still nervous. He was still afraid that the woman would not believe him. It was the first time Lea hade to this club. She followed closely behind Anthony, not daring to say a word. Inside the private room, aside from Anthony and her, there were also Adrien, Carolyn, and Sharon.

To think that stupid woman still treats you as her best friend. It is hrious when you think of it.¡± ¡°Enough. Shut up, will you? Annoying.¡± Anthony suddenly barked at Sharon. Not wanting to take that lying down, Sharon wanted to say something, but Adrien interjected with a smile, ¡°Alright, alright. We are here to celebrate, so why fight?¡± Anthony red at Sharon before turning to Adrien, asking, ¡°Mr. Tanner, speaking of which, the warden is still the key figure in this n. I heard my men saying Gilbert had sent people to look for him. I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll get Jensen to send the warden to the secret room in the southern mountain. That ce is quite hidden, and Gilbert will not find him there.¡± Adrien said that and gave Lea a quick nce. Thetter was hanging her head, and no one knew what she was thinking. Anthony suddenly frowned in confusion, ¡°Mr. Tanner, why the trouble instead of killing the warden straightaway?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Sharon quipped in. ¡°It¡¯ll be better if he¡¯s dead. If Gilbert was to find him, then our efforts would be for nothing.¡± ¡°No. We should not be getting our hands bloodied, or else it¡¯ll be even more troublesome if the cops find out.¡± Sharon was about to say something else, but Carolyn interjected with a smile, ¡°Yes, Mr. Tanner is right. It¡¯ll be troublesome if the cops get alerted. We just need to hide the warden away. Mr. Tanner had kept him hidden for the past six years without anyone finding out, which means he is very capable.¡± Sharon pursed her lips and had to give up. Adrien took a puff as his eyes looked at Lea from time to time, scheming as he went. After getting out of the club, Lea was troubled and gradually created a distance between Anthony and herself. Anthony opened the car door and was about to step into the car, and when he saw the woman had not followed behind him, he frowned. He then turned and growled at Lea, ¡°Hurry up, what are you standing there for?¡± Shaken by the growl, Lea snapped back to reality, quickly making her way to Anthony. Anthony then got into the car. As he had been drinking, he sat on the co¨Cdriver¡¯s seat and closed his eyes to rest. Lea sat in the driver¡¯s seat but did not rush to start the car. Instead, she looked at the man beside her, hesitating to speak.

It¡¯s not like you have a deep grudge against Gilbert. Why must you hound him like this?¡± Anthony slowly opened his eyes. A terrifying menace roiled within his drunken gaze. He then sneered, ¡°Yes, I have no deep grudge against him, but they provoked me. I¡¯m always vengeful, so how can I be happy if I don¡¯t utterly destroy them?¡± ¡°Moreover, it¡¯s because of them I got scolded by my old man many times and even had my authority in the Mullen Group taken away. This time, taking Gilbert down will be the best opportunity for me to turn things around in the Mullen family. I¡¯ll definitely change the way the old man sees me!¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°Enough, drive!¡± Anthony let out an icy growl before closing his eyes and ignoring her. Lea looked at his arrogant, devilish yet handsome face sadly. ¡®He is strong andpetitive, but he is also vindictive.¡¯ ¡®But has he ever thought about me?¡¯ ¡®For him to force me to betray my best friend just for some trifling grudge between them.¡® ¡®Has he ever thought that I would be sad or hurt?¡® ¡®Heh¡­¡® ¡®Yeah, I¡¯m nothing to him.¡¯ She was a pawn to him, a tool to warm the bed with, a person at his beck and call. So why would he have any care for her? Lea¡¯s heart writhed in pain, and even her stomach hurt as well. She looked up and took a deep breath. A touch of determination shed across her eyes. This time, she must make up for her misdeeds. Whether Kisa was willing to forgive or not, she had to do something for her. Early in the morning, the mountain air was exceptionally fresh. The dawn light was so beautiful one could not shift their gaze. Jolina stared at the slowly rising sun. The foul emotions swirling in her mind dissipated somewhat. She leaned over slightly and looked at Kisa in the car. It had been a whole night. She had been sitting just like that, without crying or saying a word for the entire night. The calmness on her face was worrisome. She would rather Kisa just wail and cry loudly so that thetter would feel a little better. Peter slept on a rock by the foot of the mountain. When he woke up, his hair and shirt were soaking wet from the dew. His body was wet, and there was the smell of sweat. He sat up and loosened his cor in disgust. A momentter, he turned to Jolina, who was leaning against the back of the car. ¡°Bring my clothes from the trunk.¡± Amanding tone! And Jolina ignored him. Peter frowned and wanted to yell at Jolina, but upon seeing the other pitiful woman inside the car, he suppressed his temper and changed his tone before speaking again. ¡°Please bring me my clothes.¡± Only then did Jolina walk to the trunk and take out his ck backpack. She took a few steps toward the man before tossing the backpack over. Peter deftly caught the backpack. Seeing the woman standing so far away from him, as if she was disgusted by him, Peter suddenly felt pissed off. When he saw the woman was about to turn away and leave, he coldly yelled, ¡°Come here!¡± ¡°What?¡± Jolina turned around and asked him with a frown. ¡°Come here. I¡¯ve something to talk to you about.¡± Peter repeated that before tossing the backpack onto the rock and taking out his clothes from it. Jolina nced at him a few times and walked over, thinking that the man had something to talk to her. She stood about a meter away from him and asked rather impatiently, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Come closer.¡± Jolina frowned as she reluctantly took a few steps forward. ¡°Come on, what¡¯s the matter? Is it time to¡­¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 905 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 905 Chapter 905 You¡¯re So Ruthless! Before Jolina could finish her sentence, she saw Peter taking off his shirt. The man¡¯s thin upper body was suddenly exposed to her at such a close distance. The man even smiled devilishly at her. ¡°You wouldn¡¯t take a good look every time I show you, so here, have a good look. Who has the better body, me or that man in your dreams?¡± Jolina choked, her expression turned sullen as she yelled, ¡°Pervert!¡± As she said that, she turned and left, swearing never to believe a single word of this man ever again. Peter pursed his lips before taking his clothes and grinned as he walked toward a small pond by the entrance of the col. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . When he tailed the jailer yesterday, he noticed the pond water was clear and good enough to be used for bathing. Just as Jolina returned to the car, Kisa had gotten out of it. Her thin body shook a little, seemingly unsteady. She held the door. Her face was so pale it was horrifying. Jolina hurried over to help her, ¡°Miss Kisa, you¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Kisa smiled at her, her voice very soft. Jolina pursed her lips and did not ask further as she helped Kisa to sit on the rock Peter had slept on earlier. Kisa leaned against the rock, slightly squinting as she looked at the rising sun. The mountain air was fresh, the sunrise glorious. Yet, for all of nature¡¯s beauty, her heart was in total destion. She had thought about it the whole night. She still needed to ept the truth as it was. She had never thought that the most hurtful thing was not traps or injuries but these sorts of sweetened lies. This kind of hurt which saw her tricked into falling in love, was far before being given a p, was much, much more painful than anything. She will not just let thingsy like this. Be it hatred of that fire from years ago or the hatred of that man deceiving her. She would have all of it ounted for. ¡®No more. I will never believe that man ever again.¡® No matter how loving he pretends to be, she will never be fooled again. Thinking of those sweet memories from a while ago, she felt a tinge of irony. Her eyes soon welled with tears. She raised her head and held them back as a fragile yet determined arc formed on the corners of her lips. ¡®Gilbert Kooper¡­ I will not stop until I see you fall!¡® When Peter came back, he found the two women leaning on the rock in silence. The atmosphere was so dour it was suffocating. He immediately walked over and asked. ¡°Feeling better? Let¡¯s get on the road if you¡¯re doing better. I do not want to stay at this ce a moment longer, and I¡¯m hungry.¡± As he said that, Peter walked toward the car. Kisa called out to him, ¡°Can you give me a cigarette?¡± Peter raised his eyebrow. ¡°Oh? Trying to smoke like a man?¡± Kisa did not speak. Her pale and icy face looked rather intimidating. Peter did not say much else as he walked over and handed the cigarette and lighter to her. This was the first time Kisa smoked. She heard that smoking could relieve stress and sorrow. She was extremely frustrated at this moment, so she wanted to give it a try. Yet when she took the first puff, she choked and coughed violently. Peter smiled as he took the cigarette from her. ¡°Enough already. Don¡¯t smoke if you don¡¯t know how to smoke. Gilbert will be after my head if you choke to death.¡± Kisa suddenly turned sullen as she looked at him with a hostile re. Peter was taken aback. A momentter, heughed skittishly, ¡°My bad, I meant Jensen. Jensen will be after my head.¡± As he said that, he got into the car. ¡®Man, women are scary when angry, as if they are about to devour someone.¡¯ The car then moved. Kisa leaned against the window, and as she looked at the ruins that were slowly fading from sight, her heart was deste. It had only just been a few months, and that peaceful vige was gone. ¡®Gilbert, you are so ruthless!¡® Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 906 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 906 Chapter 906 Is She Back? On this day, Gilbert woke up early. He went downstairs to eat as usual. Ever since Grandma agreed to allow him to be with Kisa, his entire being had returned to life and was no longer depressed or sluggish as he was a few days ago. Seeing how energetic he was, Mrs. Kooper Sr. inevitably had mixed feelings about it. She pushed the breakfast the servants had prepared to him and snorted, ¡°You better pray that that woman is true to you and that she will never betray or hurt you. Otherwise, the one hurting the most, in the end, will be you.¡± Gilbert held his mug of milk and did not say anything. After getting along for some time, he naturally believed Kisa¡¯s feelings for him. However, for him to say such heartless words to her that day, he had no idea if he could coax her back. Davian and Kelvin have not found any news of her either. It was inevitable for him to worry a little when she disappeared just like that. After breakfast, he went over to Kisa¡¯s residence again. When he opened the door, the empty room filled his heart with a sense of loss again. All this while, he felt her house was a very warm ce, and he loved to stay in this ce. Only now did he realize the warmth was because of that woman¡¯s presence. Without her, the house was just like any other, cold and empty. He then took a step forward inside the house with a heavy heart. It looked like she had never returned to this ce ever since that night. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. All of the furnishings inside the house remained untouched. The curtains in her room were still half¨C closed, and the bedding was neatly folded, exactly how it was like when he came over every day. ¡®How much does she hate me?¡® ¡®Or rather, how much did I hurt her?¡® She hid so well that no one could find her. He leaned against the closet and lit a cigarette as sorrow and guilt lined his brows. How he wished to say ¡°Sorry¡± to her, but unfortunately, she was so unfeeling that she refused to give him this opportunity. Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the room. He shuddered as a tinge of excitement welled in his heart. ¡®Is she back?¡® Without even thinking, he rushed out of the room. But when he saw who the visitor was, a look of disappointment shed across his eyes. It was not Kisa but Lea. Lea walked in cautiously, looking around as she came in. Gilbert said softly, ¡°Kisa¡¯s not here. She hasn¡¯te back yet.¡± Lea hung her head, her heart roiling with mixed feelings. She then whispered, ¡°Kisa did not go to the set for the past few days as well, so the filming has stopped. Kisa was always a stickler to duty and will never do that.¡± ¡®Yeah, she was most afraid of troubling someone else and will never dy the entire filming process for her own personal reasons.¡± In the end, he was the one who hurt her too deeply. His heart ached, recalling the look of sorrow and despair on her face the other day.. Lea looked at him, her heart tangled with mixed feelings. After a while, when she saw Gilbert was about to leave, she finally spoke, ¡°Mr. Gilbert¡­¡± Gilbert stopped as he turned around and looked at her. ¡°Yes?¡± Lea walked over silently and closed the main door. Gilbert frowned in an instant as a look of suspicion shed across his eyes. Lea then walked to him and whispered, ¡°I have something to ask you.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Could the misunderstanding between you and Kisa be resolved if the warden is found?¡± A dangerous glint suddenly appeared in Gilbert¡¯s eyes. ¡°Do you know where he is?¡± Lea shook her head. ¡°I only know that the warden is in Mr. Jensen¡¯s hands, and he is about to take the warden to a hidden ce in the southern mountains.¡± ¡°How did you know about this?¡± Gilbert¡¯s gaze grew even sharper. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 907 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 907 Chapter 907 Tracking Lea seemingly had already thought up an excuse as she calmly said, ¡°I heard him calling someone and saying that by chance in the bar and learned about this.¡± Gilbert looked at her with an inquisitive look in his eyes. He did not know much about Lea and only knew that she had been acting a little weird since Kerrona Hill. She was, however, still Kisa¡¯s best friend. Back when Kisa was terminally ill, it was Lea who took care of her. He pursed his lips and said, ¡°Thank you for telling me this. Kisa has always been a person who is deeply invested in a rtionship. You are her best friend, so I hope you don¡¯t do anything that would hurt her.¡± Lea¡¯s heart tensed up when she heard that. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. A surge of guilt and remorse welled in her heart. She held her handbag strap tightly and nodded. ¡°Understood. Kisa is equally important to me too.¡± Gilbert did not say anything else and walked out. No matter how credible the news Lea had given him was, he needed to ascertain its veracity. If he could find the warden, there would be more basis when exining to Kisa, and perhaps the misunderstanding between them could be resolved. He could not help but feel a little excited when he thought of this. However, the southern mountain was arge ce, and if Jensen hid the warden there, finding him would take some effort. What he was most afraid of was him alerting Jensen, causing him to move the warden to another ce. Gilbert pondered for a bit and decided to intercept them along the way or tail them first. When he arrived, he saw Jensen¡¯s car still parked downstairs. So the man should still be inside the house. Gilbert then quietly waited downstairs. As the cigarette in his hand burned away bit by bit between puffs, Gilbert¡¯s eyes were trained toward the entrance of the apartment. Sometimeter, Jensen finally walked out of the apartment. He was alone, and the warden was not by his side. ¡®Right, Jensen knows I¡¯m too looking for the warden, so he definitely would not bring the warden with him at all times.¡® It was just that he had no idea if Jensen had already sent the warden to the southern mountain. As he pondered that, Jensen started his car. Gilbert then quietly watched as Jensen¡¯s car drove out of the gantry. A momentter, he started the car and followed behind. No matter what, he wanted to tail them and have a look. It was rush hour, and there were many cars on the road. Jensen had always been shrewd and cautious, so Gilbert dared not get too close. There were a few cars between them. And they stopped and moved as they went. Gilbert was on the main road and saw Jensen¡¯s car suddenly turning into a remote trail after the traffic light. He grabbed the steering wheel tightly and anxiously but could not do anything. After his car finally got past the traffic light, he immediately turned his car into that path. However, he could no longer see Jensen¡¯s car on that trail. Gilbert parked the car by the roadside as he looked at the small trail. The trail was very long and was lined by trees, and a little further in were rather old buildings on both sides. Gilbert took a puff before raising his head and looking into the distance. He could not see the trail¡¯s end, but he could see dpidated residential buildings all along the way, and behind the residential units was a big mountain. That meant there was no path at the end of this trail, so if Jensen entered it, he definitely had to drive out the same way. As he thought of that, he was no longer in a hurry as he drove the car and parked it somewhere secluded. Not too longter, he saw Jensen¡¯s caring out from the trail. The co¨Cdriver¡¯s seat window was halfway down, and a big white hand stretched out and flicked away some cigarette ash. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 908 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 908 Chapter 908 Shut Up If You Don¡¯t Want to Die! Gilbert¡¯s eyes narrowed as he immediately got into his car and followed behind. He clearly saw another person in Jensen¡¯s car on the co¨Cdriver¡¯s seat, and that person must be the warden. After Jensen¡¯s car exited the trail, it went directly into the main road. Gilbert immediately chased after him as two cars stood between him and Jensen. Gilbert was afraid to lose sight of Jensen again this time, so Gilbert kept a keen eye on Jensen¡¯s car. After a few traffic lights, Jensen¡¯s car suddenly turned into a deserted road. It was the road heading to the south of the city. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. The city¡¯s south side was undergoing development and was quite far out, so there were not too many cars there. When Gilbert¡¯s car made the turn, he drew a considerable distance between him and Jensen. As there were no cars between them, he could still keep an eye on Jensen¡¯s car. He could only do this. Otherwise, Jensen will surely notice him. If Jensen discovered he was tailing him and escaped with the warden, then it¡¯ll be even more difficult to look for the warden. After some thought, he quietly elerated as he tried to overtake and intercept Jensen¡¯s car. Inside Jensen¡¯s car, the warden tapped the cigarette andined, ¡°What kind of lousy smoke is this? It¡¯s so bad. The ones at Mr. Tanner¡¯s side were so much better.¡± Jensen¡¯s face was tensed, his eyes cold as he ignored the warden. Seeing that Jensen did not speak, the warden went on even more. ¡°Also, Mr. Tanner asked you to take care of me properly, and look where you made me put up for the past few days? Those dpidated houses are all rickety. How is it even fit for anyone to live in? Also, are those tiny dishes you send daily even human food?¡± As the warden said that, he picked his teeth with his hand with an extremely annoyed look. Jensen twitched his lips and asked, ¡°So, what kind of life do you want to live?¡± ¡°Of course, I want a big bed, a soft pillow, good food, and also a few gorgeous women to y with.¡± Jensen chuckled a little. A look of disgust shed across his eyes. The warden gave him a sideway nce as he snorted, ¡°You better not speak to me in this tone. Mr. Tanner said you must take good care of me. Watch me if I tell Mr. Tanner about this!¡± Jensen immediately mmed on the elerator just as the warden finished speaking. Due to inertia, the warden was instantly sent mming hard into the seat. He roared, ¡°What the heck?! I¡¯ll definitely tell Mr. Tanner about this!¡± ¡°Shut up if you don¡¯t want to die!¡± Jensen snorted and mmed on the gas. He then squinted as he looked solemnly at the car through his rearview mirror. ¡®Weird? Why is Gilbert following me?¡® ¡®Could it be that he had been tailing me all this while?¡® Impossible. Jensen wouldn¡¯t miss out on someone tailing him. He found this matter strange. ¡®Like, why did Adrien ask me to bring the warden into the secret room in the southern mountain?¡® ¡®Why didn¡¯t he just bring the warden back to that basement overseas?¡® ¡®That was a ce the warden had stayed hidden for six years. Wasn¡¯t it much safer and more discreet?¡® ¡°What are you doing? What¡¯s the deal with this speed? Slow down. I cannot take this. Slow down!¡± The warden was scared to death as both his hands grabbed onto the handhold. The warden. interrupted Jensen¡¯s thoughts, and as he looked back at the rearview mirror, he noticed Gilbert was already hot on his tail. At this moment, the cars were passing through a bridge, and beneath it was a rushing rapid. After the car was some distance on the bridge, Jensen realized that part of the bridge was damaged. He saw that thene he was on had arge sign, and behind it were a series of cordons. He wanted to changenes but quickly realized that arge oing truck wasing his way. Jensen frowned and mmed the brakes, wanting to stop just right before the warning sign. But the moment he stepped on the brake, a look of shock appeared on Jensen¡¯s face. The brake failed! Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 909 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 909 Chapter 909 Death Comes The car was about to hit the warning sign, and there was visibly lime sand inside the cordon. ¡®With this speed, if we are to crash into it¡­¡® The warden¡¯s face turned pale as he roared at Jensen, ¡°What the hell are you doing?! Brake, you fool! Brake!¡± Jensen¡¯s face, too, turned pale, and he suddenly thought of something as a grim smile appeared at the corners of his lips. ¡®So that¡¯s how it is¡­¡® BAM!! The car finally hit the warning sign. The warden, for whatever reason, suddenly grabbed the steering wheel just as the car hit the warning sign. So the car instantly turned and mmed against the bridge railing. Amidst a loud crash, the car fell into the rushing river rapids. Gilbert immediately stopped the car. He ran out and leaned against the broken railing as he roared. ¡°JEN¡­ JENSEN!!!¡± He then immediately called the emergency hotline number. No one knew if he was too much in a rush or because he was too scared. His hands could not stop shaking. ¡®How could this be happening?¡® ¡®Jensen is a good driver, and his driving has always been steady. How could this happen?¡® ¡®If I knew this was going to happen, I would not have chased after him.¡® He would not have wanted this to happen, even at the cost of never finding the warden to prove his innocence. ¡®What should I do?¡± ¡°Jensen!¡± ¡®I don¡¯t want him to die!¡® ¡®But what are the chances of his survival in this situation?¡® The car disappeared the moment it fell into the river. Gilbert sat on the ground, his face pale as a ghost. Inside the club, Adrien locked himself inside in the private room, all alone. He was quietly listening to a report by his subordinate, his expression hovering between smiling and crying, and no one could tell his true emotions. The call disconnected, and he fell back into his chair. Unexpectedly, Adrien thought of a little boy. That boy had always been anxious and trembling around Adrien, and he was cautious yet still liked to please Adrien. The boy¡¯s words echoed in Adrien¡¯s mind. ¡°Father¡­ can Ie with you?¡± ¡°Father, don¡¯t worry. I will not call you ¡®father¡® in front of anyone else.¡± ¡°Father, mother is sick. Can youe back?¡± ¡°Father¡­¡± ¡°Father¡­¡± Something warm came falling from the corner of Adrien¡¯s eyes. He immediately wiped it away as a sneer appeared by the corners of his mouth. ¡®It¡¯ll be better if that shame that shouldn¡¯t have existed is dead. At the very least, he had achieved his due usefulness before death.¡® Inside the dimly light private room, the man¡¯s eyes looked like they were ssed with tears, yet within them were also menace and ruthlessness. ¡°Miss Carolyn, please hold your steps. Mr. Tanner had said he wishes to see no one today.¡± ¡°Hey, who do you think I am? How can I bepared to themon rabble? Make way.

But she could not afford to lose face before the bodyguard, so she grabbed her back, and puffed her chest up as she walked toward the club¡¯s hall. Sharon immediately ran over and smiled at her mother, ¡°Mom, why aren¡¯t you spending more time with Mr. Tanner?¡± ¡°Oh, he¡¯s tired and is taking a rest.¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be.

Sharon looked at Anthony in astonishment. ¡°Did you hear that? Jensen fell into the river.¡± Anthony frowned hard. ¡°How could that be happening? What about the warden?¡± Carolyn leaned casually against the sofa as she said, ¡°The warden most likely went down with him as well. Why do you care so much? It¡¯s better if that warden is dead.¡± As Carolyn said that, she was still frustrated by Adrien yelling at her earlier. The car stopped in a clearing on the city¡¯s outskirts. Jolina took out two sandwiches to eat. She handed one to Kisa, but thetter did not eat it. The weather had been good for the past few days. The wind in the outskirts was veryfortable when one drove with the windows down. On the way back, Peter deliberately slowed down and took them for a joy ride instead. Kisa often just leaned against the seat, lost in thought. This time, she was leaning against the seat again as she stared at the distant sky in a daze. Peter took a call as he leaned by a tree, and when he returned, he wore a grim look on his face. When Jolina saw his expression, it was quite terrifying. Although she tensed up, she did not ask. In any case, the man¡¯s affairs usually had nothing to do with her. Peter circled around the back of the car and leaned against the side Kisa was sitting on. He looked at the woman¡¯s pale look and hesitated for a moment before finally saying, ¡°Something happened to Jensen.¡± Kisa¡¯s dull eyes finally moved. She looked at Peter as if she was a mechanical toy. A hint of tenseness could be heard in her hoarse voice, ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°Something happened to Jensen!¡± Immediately, Peter stepped on the elerator. They rushed toward Calthon almost non¨Cstop. Even when passing by a town, they did not linger and, at most, just stopped to buy some food. Kisa held her hands tightly. Her body totally tensed up. Her face was as pale as a ghost, and her haggard and disheveled look was worrisome. Jolina held onto her as she gently patted Kisa¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. He¡¯ll be fine.¡± Kisa bit her lips and said nothing as Peter¡¯s words lingered in her ears¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 911 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 911 Chapter 911 A Sin Most Grave ¡°Gilbert was chasing after him when the ident happened to Jensen. Jensen may have been speeding, and there were many cars on the bridge, and there were ongoing repair works, so that¡¯s why it happened.¡± ¡°Apparently, there was another person in Jensen¡¯s car, a warden or something.¡± ¡°Gilbert seemed to be chasing after Jensen for that warden.¡± Kisa covered her face in grief as she suddenly recalled what Gilbert had said to her. ¡°We must find the warden before Jensen does.¡± ¡°Can you tell me in advance if you find the warden?¡± HAH! ¡®The reason that man is looking for the warden is that he wants to kill him.¡® ¡®And I told him all of the news about Jensen having found the warden.¡® This would not have happened if she had kept the news about finding the warden a secret. ¡®I¡¯m the one who caused this to befall Jensen, right?¡® The tears of grief and regret seeped through the lines between her fingers. She was extremely anguished. ¡®How could he be so ruthless?¡® ¡®Jensen is Gilbert¡¯s cousin brother. How could he?¡® ¡®That¡¯s right.

N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡®What should I do now? How do I make up for sin so grave?¡® A muffled sound of a woman¡¯s crying then rang out from behind. Peter was extremely frustrated, although he usually did not like Jensen, as if the whole world owed him something. He, too, did not want something like this to happen to that man. ¡®How grating.¡® He could not help but speed up, hoping to reach Calthon as soon as possible. The three of them took turns driving as the car was on the road throughout the day, and they finally arrived at Calthon the next night. Kisa did not go home but instead got Peter to drive straight to the hospital. Based on the news from Peter, the car had been pulled out from the river. The person in the driver¡¯s seat was still breathing, albeit weakly, but the person in the co¨Cdriver¡¯s seat died on the spot. And the person that died was the warden that Jensen had found a few days ago. Jensen was taken to the best hospital in Calthon. He was still in the emergency room, and Kelvin had also participated in the operation. The moment the car stopped, Kisa rushed straight into the hospital. Because she was in too much of a hurry, she tripped the moment she got out of the car. Her palm hit the ground, and arge patch of skin was scraped off, bloodying her hands. Jolina immediately helped her up and said worriedly, ¡°Miss Kisa, please slow down.¡± Kisa bit her lips, and as if she felt no pain, she hurriedly walked into the hospital. Her face was terrifyingly pale. It was already past eleven in the evening, and no one was in the hospital lobby, leaving it empty and deserted and a few nurses dozing off at the main reception desk. Kisa was like a lost deer as she wandered the hall in confusion, not even knowing where the emergency room was. Jolina had been holding onto her, her face lined with concern. Peter followed behind and saw the directory and, a momentter, said to Jolina, ¡°Go to the right.¡± When Jolina heard that, she immediately helped Kisa to go to the right. After passing through a long corridor, it was another empty hall. The hall was smaller than the earlier one, with many lounge chairs. The words ER was written next to it, and the emergency room light was on. Two people were already in the hall, Gilbert, and Mia. They were haggard and anxious¨Clooking, and no one spoke a word. When Kisa appeared, Gilbert¡¯s back stiffened. A momentter, he got up and walked toward her step¨C by¨Cstep¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 912 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 912 Chapter 912 Dead Man Tells No Tales Gilbert immediately hugged Kisa tightly. Exhaustion could be heard in his hoarse voice. ¡°You¡¯re finally back.¡± But the same voice sounded relieved as if he had once again found home while. breathing a sigh of relief at the end. Kisa did not move and just allowed him to hug her. As Jolina had followed Kisa to Hillsby, she too had some knowledge of the ¡®horrible¡® things Gilbert had done. She looked worriedly at Kisa and then back at Peter, wondering if she should push Gilbert away. Peter pursed his lips as he dragged Jolina away into the aisle. ¡°Let¡¯s not get involved in their personal matters.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°Enough. Just let them talk.¡± Gilbert kept on hugging Kisa. He was suddenly so relieved that all of his tensed nerves suddenly rxed in an instant. He put his chin on her shoulder, his eyes tired, and within the exhaustion was a hint of wordless sorrow. Kisa¡¯s eyes were terribly hollow. She looked at the light on the ceiling in a daze, and after a while, asked coldly, ¡°How¡¯s Jensen?¡± The moment she mentioned Jensen, Gilbert froze. Kisa twitched her lips coldly as she pushed away the man before her with absolute indifference. With a hostile voice, she questioned him again and again. ¡°You wanted to find and kill the warden that much?¡± ¡°And to kill the warden, you¡¯d sacrifice your own cousin¡¯s life?¡± Gilbert immediately shook his head. He guessed that she would me him for chasing after Jensen, causing thetter to fall into the rushing rapids alongside his car. But he did not expect her to second guess him like this. To think that he was such a vicious and cruel person in her heart. He immediately denied her usation, ¡°I wasn¡¯t after the warden¡¯s life.¡± ¡°For you to chase Jensen off the cliff like this, you¡¯re telling me that you¡¯re not after the warden?¡± ¡°I was after the warden because I wanted him to exin to you what happened during the fire back then. The warden had framed me,¡± Gilbert said hurriedly. His heart kept trembling as he spoke. Especially when he saw the icy look on that woman¡¯s face, the fear in his heart grew stronger. The mention of the fire made the woman¡¯s already icy gaze even more frosty as deep hatred and disgust gushed in her eyes. She then said, ¡°Gilbert, how many lies have you told now? With the warden dead, and a dead man tells no tales, you can just concoct whatever story you want.¡± She mocked him coldly, the hatred in her eyes stung him for a moment in the eyes. Gilbert took two unsteady steps back. His voice tensed up, ¡°Did someone tell you something?¡± ¡°Heh? Aren¡¯t your hands clean? What are you afraid of then?¡± Kisa hissed at him, word by word, ¡°Gilbert Kooper, meeting you is the biggest regret in my life! If anything were to happen to Jensen, I will make you pay!¡± Content ?

She hissed with seething hatred. ¡°With Jensen already like this, you no longer have to lower yourself to please me, lie to me, or use me against him. You must be very happy now, right?¡± Gilbert¡¯s red eyes was fixated on her. 3/3 She did not believe him. To make matter¡¯s worse, she actually thought that he was deliberately after Jensen and the warden¡¯s life. ¡®What should I do?¡± ¡®The warden is dead.

I had really nothing to do with that fire back then. Jensen told the warden to nder me. Ask him when he wakes up if you don¡¯t believe me.¡± ¡°That is enough!¡± Kisa flung his hand away in disgust, shaking her head in disbelief, her face filled with hatred and disappointment. ¡°I can¡¯t believe that you still want to frame him after you have caused so much harm to him. Just how wicked are you?¡± ¡®She says I¡¯m wicked? How familiar! Just like how I used to say the same thing to her in the same tone of voice and expression. The chickens havee home to roost.

And no matter how badly they both argued, Mia still sat motionless in her chair, her hands staked on the seat clenched into fists, with traces of blood oozing out of them. Her body was tense, and she stared unblinkingly at the emergency room doors. The doors to the emergency room finally opened, and Mia immediately stood up. Perhaps she had sat for too long. Her legs were stiff. As she got up too rapidly, she could not get her feet straight and almost fell over. The person who came out was Kelvin. Kisa hurried up to meet him. ¡°How is Jensen doing?¡± ¡°I will talk to youter.¡± Kelvin looked anxiously at Gilbert. ¡°Jensen has lost too much blood. We need to give him a transfusion immediately, but the hospital¡¯s blood bank doesn¡¯t have enough blood, and it is toote to transfer blood from other ces.¡± ¡°What is his blood type?¡± Gilbert asked. ¡°Type B.¡± Gilbert seemed relieved. He stepped forth and rolled up his sleeve. ¡°Take mine. Mine is Type B.¡± Kelvin frowned. ¡°But even if you donate yours, it is still not enough. You can¡¯t possibly donate all of your blood.¡± ¡°Just take as much as he needs.¡± Gilbert was looking at Kisa while speaking. But Kisa looked indifferent, not appreciating it at all. He secretly forced a smile, thinking,¡® She probably thinks I¡¯m pretending again. Even if I donate all of my blood and die, she won¡¯t bat an eyelid.¡® The situation was so urgent that Kelvin could not worry about Gilbert¡¯s health. He brought him to get prepared for a blood donation. As he went, he said to Kisa and Mia, ¡°Go find someone else who has type B blood and could volunteer to donate their blood.¡± Kisa and Mia were the only ones left in the hallway now, and the air was still. They went looking for people who had type B blood. But it was early in the morning, and few people were at the hospital. Nevertheless, Kisa still went to the lobby at the entrance and asked around, but no one responded. Just then, she saw from a distance Peter squatting on a flower bed in the courtyard, smoking, and Jolina sitting on a bench six feet away from him. She hesitated but still went over and asked them. ¡°Do any of you have type B blood?¡± Jolina shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m type A. What is wrong?¡± ¡°Jensen has lost a lot of blood and needs transfusion as soon as possible, but the blood bank does not have enough blood.¡± Peter suddenly stubbed out his cigarette, rose to his feet, and said, ¡°You should have told me earlier. Mine is type B.¡± J¨®lina looked at him in astonishment, not expecting that he would offer to donate his blood to others. Without any dy, Kisa brought Peter to perform a blood donation. Kisa sat down beside Mia. Knowing that Mia loved Jensen, she did not know how tofort Mia at this moment. She felt miserable and was so exhausted that she was about to copse. But she held on, waiting for Jensen toe out of the emergency room safely. ¡°The windows were all shattered when the car hit the guardrail.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 914 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 914 Chapter 914 It¡¯s Karma Mia spoke suddenly, her voice slow, deep, and even a little emotionless. ¡°The broken ss pierced him. When he was brought here, he was badly wounded and covered in blood.¡± Kisa, whose face was pale, was staggering in her steps. ¡®How much pain did he endure, with so many wounds on his body?¡® she asked in her mind. Mia tilted her head and took a breath, murmuring, ¡°The doctor says he¡¯s not looking good.¡± Kisa pursed her lips, guilt weighing her down. ¡®Jensen is injured because of me; it was all because of me. I hate myself¨Chating myself for being so easily gullible to Gilbert¡¯s lies and falling into his honey trap. I could do nothing to atone for my sin if Jensen couldn¡¯t make it.¡® She gritted her teeth as her hatred for Gilbert grew stronger. She told herself that she would make that ruthless man pay for what he had done, no matter what. ¡°You were the one who told Gilbert about finding the warden, weren¡¯t you?¡± Mia suddenly asked Kisa, not like a question, but more like sarcasm and a sneer. Kisa bit her lip. After a long while, she nodded her head. SLAP! One clear p rang out in the hall, standing out in the silence of the night. Jolina was startled and hurriedly held Kisa as she was about to fall over. She looked at Mia with a frown. ¡°Why did you hit her?¡± Mia seemed to regret it and pulled at her hair in anguish. ¡°I know I shouldn¡¯t me you, but I really hate you. It is because of you that this happens to Jensen. Everything he did and all the misery he suffered is all because of you. I told him to stay out of your business and told him leave with me so he wouldn¡¯t be subject to others, and this wouldn¡¯t happen. But he didn¡¯t listen. He couldn¡¯t let go of you¨Call of you. You didn¡¯t love him, and he knew that. He knew you loved Gilbert, but he was still so adamant. He is a fool who doesn¡¯t even understand what he wants.¡± Mia nearly broke down, covering her face and crying out in grief. The usual sultry and charming appearance was all gone. Now she was just a small woman who was so grief¨Cstricken to the point of breaking down. Kisa leaned against Jolina. There was an obvious p mark on her pale face, making her look even more miserable. Her heart ached as if she were suffocating, an unprecedented guilt crushing her. She could only clench her hands, but this caused the already bloody wounds to bleed even more. But she seemed to be unable to feel the pain. Or perhaps this was the only way she could mask the agony inside her. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Mia buried her face deep in her hands, and her choked voice carrying unknown guilt and a trace of iprehensibleplex emotions. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry¡­ It is karma. It is karma¡­¡± She suddenly apologized repeatedly, without knowing to whom she was apologizing. She was like aplete madwoman who had broken down beyond her senses. Kisa turned her face away sadly, and tears kept falling. She would rather Gilberte and kill her than hurt the people around her. In the dimly lit room, Lea watched a video of a traffic ident over and over again. She was tense and shivering. Just then, a burning chest pressed against her back. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 915 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 915 Chapter 915 Who Do You Think You Are The man put his arms around her waist and sneered, ¡°Is the story about Jensen falling into the river so interesting that it is worth watching it over and over again?¡± Lea was holding her phone with a trembling hand. ¡°W¨CWhy is this happening?¡± ¡°Who knows?

Her trembling voice wasden with sobs. ¡°I¨CI didn¡¯t. I didn¡¯t take a liking to him¡­ Aaaaah!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t lie!¡± Anthony growled. ¡°Look how distraught you are. Who are you trying to fool?¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t¡­¡± Lea cried, her pale face wrinkled in pain. Anthony flung her away and sneered with contempt as he saw her sprawl out on the bed. ¡°Who do you think you are? How could someone of Jensen¡¯s stature be interested in you? You are only worthy of being my sex toy. No man will want you if I don¡¯t want you, either.¡± Lea gripped the quilt, her heart aching. ¡®Yes, I¡¯m just a sex toy for him. He despises me from the very core of his being; he has no respect for me.¡® Anthony was inexplicably upset and pulled her over with one hand. He then prated her with no forey, as if he just wanted to vent his lust. Mia gasped in pain, her tears falling, but she did not make a sound. Anthony was oblivious to all of this, as she was just a toy with no dignity to speak of in his eyes. He tormented her mercilessly, hating women who hustled alcohol. He had not forgotten that Mia had started out serving alcohol in bars. She reminded him of his low¨Cborn but scheming mother, who tricked his father into sleeping with her and used her pregnancy as a bargaining chip to marry into the Mullen family. Because of his mother, he was discriminated against and humiliated from birth. They called him the son of a bargirl, that he was just as cheap as his mother, and that his existence was an insult to the Mullen family¡¯s reputation. Even his grandfather was disgusted with him. If he had not always tried to please his grandfather in recent years and even helped him woo Sara, his grandfather would not have spared him a nce. He squinted with a ruthless look in his eyes and sped up his action when he thought of the past. Lea¡¯s lips were chafed, and she finally could not take it and cry out. ¡°I really have no feelings for Jensen. How dare I fantasize about him? I just feel guilty¡­ I made a mistake.

Anthony had no patience. He grasped her neck and asked, ¡°You better tell me clearly what you did behind my back again.¡± ¡°I¨CI just told Gilbert that Jensen was going to hide that warden at the south side of the mountain. I didn¡¯t know this would happen. It is my fault for whatever happened to Jensen and Gilbert. I shouldn¡¯t have talked too much.

Did I treat you too well all this time that you dare to betray me?¡± He growled, tightening his grasp on her neck. Lea sobbed uncontrobly. She did not struggle, just cried with guilt. ¡°I was wrong. Kisa must hate me. What should I do? How could this happen? I just thought it would resolve the misunderstanding between Gilbert and Kisa when Gilbert found the warden. But why did this happen? Why?¡± Anthony frowned as something suddenly came to his mind. He let go of Lea, looking suspicious. ¡®Could it be that this was all a setup by Adrien? Otherwise, when we went to the club to celebrate, why did Adrien especially remind me to bring Lea along? Probably Adrien deliberately told Lea about the warden, knowing that Lea had a good rtionship with Kisa and so expecting that she would leak the news to Gilbert.¡® He could not help but gasp at the thought of this. ¡®What a cunning old man. He yed Lea and me without us even knowing it. But on the bright side, he really got it exactly right. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have witnessed Gilbert¡¯s miserable face. Well, this will make the game even more fun!¡® As Lea was still crying, Anthony yanked her by the hair. ¡°I¡¯m warning you. I will forget about it this time. But if you dare to talk to Kisa and Gilbert behind my back again, I won¡¯t be so nice to you next time.¡± Lea just continued to cry, appearing as if she did not hear what he said. Anthony tightened his grasp. ¡°Do you hear me?¡± Lea was in pain, but she could only nod under duress. She had only wanted to make up for Kisa, but now it urred to her that her mistakes could never be made up for in her lifetime. Anthony came on top of her again, his voice much softer when he said, ¡°Okay, you don¡¯t distract me now. Don¡¯t you want a child? I will give it to you now.¡± Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Lea stared at him in awe, with a glimmer of fantasy in her mind. She imagined that Anthony still had some feelings for her. Otherwise, he would not have allowed her to carry his child.

If it weren¡¯t for you, Jensen wouldn¡¯t have fallen into the river, and Gilbert and Kisa wouldn¡¯t have been in such a painful situation. Thanks to you, you are a tremendous help to us. You deserve this reward.¡± Anthony started moving as soon as his voice trailed off. Lea stared miserably at the ceiling, her heart broken and bloodied by his words. She was beginning to loathe herself, feeling so dirty, lowly, and unworthy of anyone¡¯s forgiveness. The silence outside the emergency room was depressing. Mia suddenly stood up. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 917 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 917 Chapter 917 So Vicious It¡¯s Disgusting She trudged to the window, then took out her cigarette pack and lighter with trembling hands. It was late at night, and no one would care that she was smoking in the hospital. She lit a cigarette and had just taken a drag when Peter, dressed in a protective suit, came out of the emergency room. Kisa hurriedly went up to him. ¡°How¡¯s it going?¡± Peter shook his head. ¡°They are still trying to revive him. Everyone looks so serious. I don¡¯t know how the situation is.¡± Mia leaned against the wall and was somewhat feeble. She held the cigarette tightly and said nothing. Kisa was worried about Peter¡¯s condition as he had just donated blood, so she helped him to sit on a chair so he could rest for a while, but Peter frowned and shook off her hand. ¡°What are you doing?¡± As he said that, he nced at Jolina, but Jolina did not look at him at all. ¡°You have just had a blood transfusion, so go rest for a while,¡± Kisa said. ¡°No, I didn¡¯t have a blood transfusion,¡± Peter said and hurriedly exined, ¡°Please don¡¯t misunderstand that I didn¡¯t want to donate my blood to Jensen. It was just that Gilbert didn¡¯t let me.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Kisa furrowed her eyebrows, and her voice went cold. ¡°He wants Jensen dead. So he didn¡¯t allow you to donate blood to Jensen, right? So, his volunteering to donate blood to Jensen is also a lie, isn¡¯t it?¡± No sooner had Kisa said with indignation than Gilbert emerged from the emergency room with a pale face. While the emergency room door was closing, about shutting out the serious and urgent scene inside, Mia stretched her neck, trying to get a glimpse of the situation inside, but saw nothing. Kisa glowered at Gilbert. ¡°Why are you faking it if you don¡¯t want to save Jensen? What makes you think you can stop others from donating blood to Jensen?¡± Peter got a little anxious when he heard. He tugged at her sleeve. ¡°It is not like that. Don¡¯t say anything first.¡± Kisa brushed his hand away. ¡°What not like that? Wasn¡¯t he the one who stopped you from donating blood to Jensen?¡± She nced with hateful eyes at Gilbert. ¡°You are really so vicious it is disgusting!¡± Gilbert was leaning against the wall by the doorway, his face as pale as paper, and he looked as if he couldn¡¯t stand up. There were a fewrge needle holes in his wrists, which were particrly sticking out. Gilbert saw her abhorrence of him and suddenlyughed bitterly and sadly and slowly asked, ¡°Am I really that evil in your eyes now?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that so?¡± Kisa sneered. Peter wanted to say something, but Gilbert suddenly waved to stop him and looked at the bitter face of Kisa. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.

Isn¡¯t this the oue you want to see? Who are you doing this for? Get out of my sight! I don¡¯t want to see you for a second.¡± She really hated him now, wanting to kill him. Gilbert smiled at her¨Ca smile with a dash of sultry resentment. ¡°Do you really despise me like that?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Her utter disdain was like a knifecerating him.

However, Kisa remained indifferent and abhorrent. In her eyes, whatever Gilbert was doing at the moment was all a show, and he was so good at acting that he could fool everyone. Now she told herself she would not and would never fall for it again. Peter could not help but say to Kisa, ¡± You have actually misunderstood him. As much as he didn¡¯t want me to talk about it, I couldn¡¯t keep quiet anymore.¡± Kisa said nothing, her face remaining taut and sullen. ¡°I wanted to donate blood to Jensen, but Gilbert kept asking Kelvin to draw his blood like a madman. Kelvin said that he had reached his limit and would be detrimental to his body if he continued to do this. Kelvin was supposed to have me donate blood to Jensen, but Gilbert wouldn¡¯t let him take my blood and said I could rece him when no more blood could be drawn from him. He was like a man possessed,¡± Peter said. ¡°So what?¡± Kisa asked indifferently, ¡°What do you want to say? Or are you trying to speak for him?¡± Kisa¡¯s unfeeling attitude was really frightening, and Peter could not help butment in his mind. ¡®Gilbert has been cocky all his life, and his falling in love with this cold- blooded woman is unfortunate.¡® Peter leaned back against a pir in the hallway, nced at Gilbert, who had passed out on the floor, and said absently to Kisa, ¡°I¡¯m not trying to speak for him. It is just that he gave me the feeling that he wanted to kill himself. I just want to remind you not to dismiss him categorically to avoid hurting someone without realizing it.¡± Kisa snorted. ¡°He wants to kill himself?¡± This sounded like a joke to her. She said to Peter, ¡°He is a good actor. Don¡¯t let him fool you. He went to great lengths to deceive me emotionally just to target Jensen. Now that he has achieved his goal, why would he want to kill himself?¡± She stared at Gilbert on the floor almost callously. ¡°He is good at pulling tricks.

But since Kisa hated him and used him of that, she knew many things must have happened between them, and those things had broken Kisa¡¯s heart. Otherwise, Kisa would never treat a person so callously. Although she did not know Kisa well, she could tell that Kisa was a sentimental person. It was pouring again in Calthon, and the lightning and thunder were unsettling. Madalyn walked slowly to the window with her walking stick. It was raining so heavily outside that the rain, blown in by the wind, soaked the curtains and the carpet near the window. Madalyn hurriedly closed the window. Looking at the heavy rain, she frowned. There was always a touch of grief and hatred on her weathered face. ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Suddenly, a feeble voice came from behind her. Madalyn spun around and saw that Gilbert had woken up and was looking at her quietly. ¡°Grandma, how did Ie home?¡± He asked softly, staring at the familiar furnishings in the room. Those horrible and unforgiving words seemed like a nightmare. He did not even dare to think about it, and his heart ached to the point of suffocation whenever he thought of it.

No matter how much blood he needs, I¡¯m willing to donate it to him.¡± Gilbert murmured, his bleary eyes staring vacantly at the ceiling. ¡® Kisa hates me for a reason. The other things aside, it was my pursuit that caused Jensen¡¯s ident. If I hadn¡¯t been chasing, he wouldn¡¯t have fallen into the river.¡® He felt powerless at the thought of this indisputable fact, feeling his exnation weak and empty. He rubbed his forehead in dismay, questioning himself. ¡®Why wasn¡¯t I the one who met with such an ident? Would Kisa be anxious, instead of hating me so much as she does now if this happens to me?¡® Seeing his expression, Madalyn quickly asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?

I¡¯m going to have the maids make you some chicken soup.¡± She nced at him with distress before quietly exiting the room. Davian came in not long after Madalyn left. ¡°Mr. Kooper.¡± Davian greeted him. Gilbert breathed in gently before looking over at Davian. ¡°How is Jensen?¡± Davian was silent for a long while before he said, ¡°He has been transferred to the general ward, but he hasn¡¯t woken up yet.¡± ¡°What did Kelvin say?¡± Davian lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. ¡°He said Jensen¡¯s life is not in danger, but¡­¡± A turn of phrase had Gilbert on edge again.

Take your grandma¡¯s case as an example; the doctor also said it was possible that she would never wake up, but she woke up.¡± Gilbert forced a smile, thinking to himself, ¡®Who would dare to guarantee a miracle like that?¡® His heart ached when he thought of Kisa¡¯s callous words in the hospital. But he still harbored the illusion that she still somewhat cared for him. He asked Davian, ¡°Did Kisa tell you toe and get me when I fainted in the hospital after losing too much blood?¡± Davian got a little angry at the mention of this. ¡°Of course, it was not her.

He thought his speaking out of turn had upset Gilbert. ¡°Mr. Kooper, you¡­¡± N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. ¡°Leave me alone.¡± Gilbert suddenly said with little emotion in his voice. He sounded rather calm and somewhat eerie. Davian asked worriedly, ¡°Are you all right, Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°Get out and leave me alone.¡± Davian pursed his lips and headed outside. After Davian left, Gilbert closed his eyes, and tears instantly trickled down from the corners of his eyes. ¡®All she has left of me now is disgust and hatred and even a wish for my death. Now that the warden is dead and Jensen is in aa, how else can I exin to her?¡¯ The sense of powerlessness left him with a deep sense of despair. It was a feeling that was worse than dying. How he wished he was the one, not Jensen, lying unconscious in the hospital now. ¡°Jensen!¡± Kisa was jolted out of her nightmare. She looked around anxiously, only to see four white walls surrounding her. The air smelled of disinfectant. She realized this was a hospital and wondered what Jensen¡¯s condition was now. Kisa had dreamed of Jensen falling in front of her, covered in blood, and no matter how loud she called out, he did not respond. In the dream, she was terrified, desperately wanting to wake up, as Jensen might be fine if she woke up. But she found that she still had to face the cruel reality after she had woken up. Lea quickly came up to her, wiping the sweat from her forehead. ¡°Kisa, you are finally awake.¡± ¡°What happened to me?¡± She remembered she was waiting outside the emergency room and then fainted when the emergency room door opened. She could not recall what happened after that and did not know Jensen¡¯s current condition. Without waiting for Lea to answer, she asked, ¡°Where is Jensen? How is he?¡± Lea patted her on the back. ¡°You were so tired and slept for two days. Jensen is in the general ward and hasn¡¯t woken up yet.¡± Kisa got out of bed at once. ¡°Which ward is it? I will go check on him.¡± Jensen¡¯s room was not far from hers. When Kisa went there, she found another person in the ward: Adrien. Adrien was staring at the unconscious man in the hospital bed, his expression a little strange. Not until he saw her did his usual elegance and calmness return to his face. But his eyes were still bloodshot as if he had been crying. Kisa was still weak, so it was Lea who helped her to Jensen¡¯s bedside. Looking at Jensen¡¯s pale face, tears started to fall from Kisa¡¯s eyes. Jensen was wearing an oversized patient gown with a slightly open cor and gauze bandages visible to the naked eye underneath. The bandages were even permeated with sporadic traces of blood. His eyes were closed, and his face was without color. If not for his faint breathing, he did not even look like a person who was still alive. Kisa slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, took Jensen¡¯s hand, and sobbed uncontrobly in grief. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m really sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have fallen for his rhetoric and told him about the warden without first discussing it with you. It is all my fault. Wake up. Wake up, Jensen.¡± Kisa¡¯s suppressed and grieving sobs filled the room. Lea was biting her lower lip, also torn by the same intense guilt. She looked at Adrien with her hands clenched at her sides, but Adrien signaled with his eyes for her to go out. While Lea hesitated, Adrien went out. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 921 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 921 Chapter 921 He Is Born Cold-Blooded and Ruthless Adrien leaned against the wall at the far end of the hallway and smoked. Lea walked over to him apprehensively. She knew Adrien was a powerful man whom Sharon and Anthony were both sucking up to. So she knew she could not afford to offend him. But he was responsible for Kisa and Gilbert¡¯s fallout. Whenever she saw Kisa¡¯s grief¨Cstricken face, she had wanted to tell the truth but did not dare. She was still too timid and cowardly. ¡°Mr. Tanner.¡± ¡°Anthony dotes on you, doesn¡¯t he?¡± Adrien asked an entirely unrted question. Lea was transfixed for a moment, not saying anything. He exhaled a ring of smoke and smiled absently. ¡°I wanted to kill you a few times, but Anthony stopped me.¡± Lea was wide¨Ceyed, not fearing his killing intent but in shock that Anthony would protect her. ¡°You and Anthony are pretty close, too, aren¡¯t you?¡± Adrien looked at her. He had a gentle smile on his face, but the look in his eyes was intimidating. ¡°Frankly speaking, Anthony is just a stooge of the Mullen family. I can have him kicked out of the Mullen family and also put him in charge of the Mullen family. The key depends on how you behave.¡± ¡°Me?¡± Lea was too stunned to speak. Adrien suddenly drew closer to her and chuckled. ¡°I don¡¯t like killing people. If you are smart, then keep your mouth shut. If you talk too much, you and Anthony¡­ Heh!¡± Adrien said nothing more, but thatst chuckle had a strong, chillingly threatening connotation. He stubbed out his cigarette, walked past her, and headed for Jensen¡¯s ward. Lea tugged tightly at the straps of her backpack. Her back was wet with sweat because of her internal struggle. A momentter, she finally exhaled and smiled self- deprecatingly, conscious of the fact that she was also an extremely selfish person. Adrien and Lea came back, one after the other. Kisa wiped the tears from her eyes and asked, ¡°Where were you two going?¡± Adrien said nothing, just looked meaningfully at Lea. Lea came over and whispered to her, ¡°Mr. Tanner is worried about you. He just asked me to go out and told me to take good care of you.¡± Kisa stared at Jensen and said to Adrien, ¡°Thank you.¡± Her hand was still holding Jensen¡¯s, which was shapely with long fingers. He had several tiny cuts on the back of his hand, all from the broken ss. She stroked the wounds, heartbroken, with guilt on her face. Adrien nced at her and said in a sad voice, ¡°The doctor said that Jensen might not wake up for the rest of his life.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart sank, apanied by a tinge of grief. ¡®For the rest of his life¡­ But he is so young and so outstanding. How could he spend his life lying in bed like this?¡® ¡°I never expected that Gilbert would do such a thing. At first, I thought since they were brothers and even if Gilbert wanted to kill the warden, he wouldn¡¯t hurt Jensen. But I overestimated the weight of family in his heart,¡± Adrien said. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. The mention of Gilbert made Kisa¡¯s heart swell with intense hatred. ¡®Family? Heh, when did he ever care about rtionships in this world? He is born to be a cold- blooded and ruthless person. I should have seen through him after the fire that year.¡¯ ¡°If I had known this would happen, the warden should have hidden at my ce so that nothing would have happened to Jensen.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 922 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 922 Chapter 922 Give as Good as I Take Adrien suddenly sighed, sounding self¨Crecriminating. ¡°It is not your fault. It is my fault; I was the one who caused this to happen to Jensen, ¡± Kisa said, her eyes narrowing grimly. ¡°So, I will avenge him.¡± Not only Jensen¡¯s revenge but also hers. She would seek revenge against Gilbert. ¡®Heh, you yed with my feelings, didn¡¯t you? Gilbert, do you think I am the best person in the world to fool and manipte? This time, I will give as good as I take.¡® Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. The rain poured down. Gilbert was standing in the courtyard, letting the rain beat down on him. Madalyn stood at the doorway and called out anxiously, but Gilbert did not seem to hear her. She tugged urgently at Kelvin. ¡°Come on, Kelvin, pull him in. He is still weak. He can¡¯t stand in the rain like this. Come on!¡± ¡°Just let him be. Maybe he will feel better this way.¡± Kelvin looked at Gilbert in the rain and spoke with distress. ¡®Emotional wounds are much more difficult to heal than physical ones. It is not a bad idea for Gilbert to relieve his anguish by penalizing himself physically,¡¯ he thought to himself. Madalyn was so anxious that she cried, hissing at Gilbert, ¡°Tell me what you want, and I will give it to you. I will let you do anything you want. You always wanted to be with that woman, didn¡¯t you? I agree, I agree. What else do you want, Gilbert?¡± Gilbert¡¯s eyes were bloodshot as he looked sadly at Madalyn, but he just said in his mind, ¡°It is toote. Everything is toote. Kisa and I could never be together again. I have confessed to her, and now that the key witness is dead, I can¡¯t exin myself anymore.¡± Gilbert was arrogant and conceited all his life and always got whatever he wanted. But at this moment, he was drowned in despair. That intense grief and powerlessness tore him alive, and the only thing he wanted now was to get relief. It rained cats and dogs for five days and nights in a row in Calthon, as if the heavens were sad and cried with them. On the sixth day, the sky above Calthon finally cleared up. Even on a hot summer day, people weed the long¨Clost sunshine and found it lovely. Kisa carefully wiped Jensen¡¯s face with a damp towel in the hospital ward. It had been a few days since Jensen was transferred to the general ward. The doctor said that if there were no otherplications and the wounds healed, Jensen could be discharged and go home. After Kisa finished wiping Jensen down, she sat in the chair next to the bed, then took his hand and talked to him, as usual. The doctor said that talking to him more might wake him up. For the past few days, she had been caring for Jensen in the hospital and did not go anywhere. She felt it strange that Mia did not show up in the past few days, wondering if she was busy taking care of ke. But then she knew that was unlikely, as ke was at school during the week. With Mia¡¯s obsessive feelings for Jensen, she could not possibly miss out on visiting him. She had also called Mia, but Mia did not answer. So she thought perhaps Mia was busy with other things. Kisa put the back of Jensen¡¯s hand to her face and murmured, ¡°Will you wake up soon? As long as you wake up, I will do whatever you want. I won¡¯t see Gilbert anymore. I won¡¯t be obsessed with hatred anymore. Outside the ward, Gilbert was staring morosely at the scene in the ward. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 923 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 923 Chapter 923 Unforgivable Sinner He silently clenched his hands at his sides, and his heart was heavy and aching. With Jensen in this condition, Gilbert did not even dare to face Kisa. When he saw her guarding Jensen by the bedside, holding Jensen¡¯s hand tightly, he was so jealous that he almost went mad. But he knew he had no right to be jealous because he had caused this irreparable situation. He stared at Kisa¡¯s face from afar, his eyes reddening, as he found that she had lost weight again, looking skinnier and skinnier. He wanted to rush in and hug her, but he could not because she had said she did not want to see him even for a second, that his presence would only make her loathe and sick. So, he could only hide and watch her from the darkness. He felt guilty and did not know how to make up for it. He wanted to donate all his blood to Jensen, but even then, Jensen had still not woken up but kept sleeping. No one knew when he could wake up. Gilbert did not know where this left him. As long as Jensen did not wake up, he would always be an unforgivable sinner. Gilbert looked at Kisa from outside the door for a long time until Mia came this way. He spun around and hurried to the stairway. He was now a sinner and was ashamed of meeting those who loved and cared for Jensen. He did not even dare to face them. Mia spotted Gilbert and nced sullenly at him from behind as he left. A momentter, she pushed open the door and entered the ward. When Kisa saw her, she was transfixed for a moment. Kisa then said with a light smile, ¡°You have finallye to see Jensen.¡± She knew Mia was the person who loved Jensen the most in the world and that she could not possibly leave Jensen behind. ¡°Mhm,¡± Mia responded indifferently, not really pleased to see Kisa. Not sure if it was just a hallucination, Kisa found a touch ofplex emotions in Mia¡¯s eyes. She could not tell what it was, but it looked like guilt and also hatred. Mia came over and took a look at Jensen. After a while, she said to Kisa, ¡°I found a better ce for Jensen to recuperate. I will take him there when he is discharged.¡± Only then did it dawn on Kisa that Mia had note to visit Jensen for the past few days because she had gone to find Jensen a ce to recuperate. Mia had also lost a lot of weight, her face less ravishing and looking more haggard. Kisa nodded at her. ¡°Well, I¡¯m sure Jensen will wake up.¡± ¡°As for ke¡­¡± Mia nced at her, ¡± I will need your help to help look after that child.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. I¡¯m more than happy to look after ke.¡± Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. ¡°Heh!¡± Mia suddenly snickered. ¡°That is what you should probably do.¡± Kisa thought Mia was ming her for what she had caused Jensen, rendering them unable to take care of ke, so she did not give what Mia said a second thought. As she got up to give up the chair to Mia, Mia said to her, ¡°I just saw Gilbert outside the ward.¡± Kisa froze for a second and said nothing. Mia snickered. ¡°Because there was no tangible evidence, the police ruled that this was just an ident. Heh, an ident. No one is to me.¡± Her tone of voice reeked of sarcasm. Kisa pursed her lips before saying, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will take revenge for Jensen.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 924 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 924 Chapter 924 People Have Their Own Destinies ¡°As you wish. I didn¡¯t want to get involved in your business. Now that Jensen is in aa, I don¡¯t want to get involved even more.¡± With that, Mia stopped talking and stared at Jensen. Before this, she and Jensen were forced to help Adrien do so many things, and she felt guilty about Gilbert and Kisa. But now, Jensen had met with such an ident because of Gilbert¡¯s pursuit. She found it hard not to hate and me them. But she also knew she had no right to me them. If there was anything she could me, it was karma. After Mia came to the hospital, she did not leave again. She was by Jensen¡¯s side almost all the time. Kisa went back to her ce that evening, not wanting to disturb them anymore. Once arrived, she stood in front of Jensen¡¯s house for a long time, having a lump in her throat. In the past, whenever she came back, Jensen would lean at the doorway, smoking a cigarette, smiling, and asking her if she was tired of filming. And now, she was standing between her and his houses, only to feel sad and lonely. She could no longer hear Jensen¡¯s mellow voice and his gentle, concerned smile. Kisa leaned against the door of his house and looked up at the hallway light overhead with reddened eyes. ¡®How wonderful it would be if it was all just a dream. I brought harm to a man who always cared for me and treated me the best at all times. I will never forgive myself.¡® Peter was a little upset in the clubhouse and not in the mood to y pool. In the past, there was Jensen to y with him. But now, looking at the bodyguards who just tried to tter him, Peter could not muster up any enthusiasm. He pulled at his tie and flung himself onto the couch with mncholy. Adrien had just finished his business with a client. When he came out of the meeting, he could not help but smile when he saw the mncholy look on Peter¡¯s face. He took a ss of cocktail from the waiter¡¯s hand and walked over to him. ¡°You look so upset. Is it because of women again?¡± he asked, putting the ss down in front of Peter. Peter picked up the ss and gulped down the cocktail. ¡°No, this time, it is because of men.¡± He looked at Adrien. ¡°Tell me why Jensen is so unlucky. He is still so young and now bedridden. I¡¯d rather die than be barely alive if it were me.¡± Adrien¡¯s face changed. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a drag. ¡°People have their own destinies.¡± Peter nced at him and asked in puzzlement, ¡°By the way, Uncle Adrien, he used to work for you and still does things for you asionally. Aren¡¯t you upset about what happened to him?¡± When they were on Kerrona Hill, Peter always felt that Adrien¡¯s rtionship with Jensen was strange, unlike a boss and a subordinate. But this time, with Jensen having an ident, Adrien appeared more indifferent than anyone else. So Peter could not help but wonder if he was wrong about them on Kerrona Hill.. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Adrien slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and snickered. ¡°I have countless people under mymand. If I were to be upset when everyone had an ident like this, I would have been upset to my death.¡± ¡°No, that is not what I meant.¡± 3 ¡°Enough, Peter. Why are you so strange today? Aren¡¯t you at odds with Jensen? Why are you sorry for him today instead?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sorry for him.¡± Peter could not describe what he felt. ¡°I just think it is quite unfortunate that he met something like this. I pity him.¡± ¡®Pity?¡® Adrien held his cigarette and was deep in thought. Just then, Peter suddenly asked him again. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 925 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 925 Chapter 925 A Big Gift for You ¡°Uncle Adrien, I thought I heard you guys plotting against Gilbert earlier. Do you have any grudge against Gilbert and Kisa? I think-¡± ¡°These things are tooplicated and not for you to ask about or get involved in.¡± Adrien suddenly interrupted him. Instead of being stern, his voice had a hint of doting. ¡°Just remember,ter on, I will have a big gift for you.¡± Peter got a little perplexed. ¡°Uncle Adrien, why are you being so nice to me?¡± ¡°Because¡­¡± Adrien looked at his familiar face and chuckled, ¡°I have been friends with your father for many years, and so I consider his child my own. Besides, I don¡¯t have any children of my own.¡± Peter smiled, feeling a little embarrassed. He somehow found some of Adrien¡¯s words and demeanor strange, but he could not put his finger on them. ¡°Mr. Tanner, Mrs. Case is here to see you.¡± Just then, a bodyguard reported in. Adrien smiled. ¡°Invite her in.¡± ¡°Aye, Mr. Tanner.¡± Peter stood up at once. ¡°Since you have a guest, I will excuse myself.¡± ¡°Hmm, don¡¯t wander off in Calthon. Take care of that wound on your arm, too, as it gets infected easily in the heat.¡± Peter smiled and rolled up his cuffs. ¡°I have never even shown this injury before but you can still tell. You really have a keen eye.¡± you, ¡°Since I promised your father I would take good care of you in Calthon. I will keep my word for sure.¡± As they spoke, Carolyn walked in. Peter did not like Carolyn and Sharon, nor understand why Adrien was so concerned about Carolyn. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Adrien was not like someone with no ss. But, he could not reallyment on that since beauty was in the beholder¡¯s eye. ¡°Mr. Tanner, you seemed to have a bad dayst time. Are you okay?¡± After thest time, Carolyn saw Adrien¡¯s dreadful side. She had been much more restrained. She was still dressed to the nines, wearing a long, sexy dress that did not suit her, but at least she was not as mboyant as she was before. She was standing in front of Adrien, looking a little nervous. In fact, she was still a little afraid of him. But she had not seen him for a few days and missed him like crazy. She was waiting for him to take the initiative to contact her and apologize to her. But she waited, checking her phone every day, but did not even get a text message from him. Carolyn stared at her phone all day long at home and was going crazy. Christopher even said she was like being possessed. Atst, she could not help bute to see him today. Only two men in this world could make her disregard her ego and please. them with humility. One was the Kooper family¡¯s eldest son, David, and the other was this man, Adrien. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Adrien was back to his usual gentlemanly self. He smiled at Carolyn and said, ¡°I was out of controlst time. I hope you didn¡¯t take offense, Mrs. Case.¡± ¡± No, no, Mr. Tanner. I¡¯m d you are okay.¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha, rx, Mrs. Case. Come on, have a seat.¡± Adrien smiled, took her to sit on the couch, and ordered the waiter to bring some juice and food. Seeing Adrien was still as gentle and considerate to her as before, she was secretly pleased, and there was a touch of shyness on her face again. Adrien took that all in, and a quick snicker shed across his face. ¡®Soon, these people will be going to hell!¡® he said in his mind. Kisa locked herself in her room for two days and two nights. The curtains in the room. were drawn so tightly that no light could prate. In the darkness, Kisa sat dazedly on the bed with her knees in her arms, her face still streaked with tears. She had been thinking about revenge for the past two days, feeling that all she had left to do now that she was alive was to take revenge. Suddenly, there was a sound outside the door. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 926 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 926 Chapter 926 She Asks Him to Stay She pulled the quilt tighter around her body, staying still as she heard footsteps in the living room. They sounded heavy and intermittent. Even without looking, she could tell that it was Gilbert¡¯s footsteps. She was so familiar with that man that she could even recognize his footsteps right away, but she never understood what was in his mind. Otherwise, she would not have been deceived by him so much. She had known him for many years and was familiar with him, but she had never had ess to his heart. Gilbert quietly looked at the in furnishings of the house. He missed her a lot these days, like going crazy. But he still did not dare to go to her and see her. In the end, he could onlye to her house to recollect the bits and pieces between them. He had never expected that the sweet time they had spent together before would only be a dream that was so out of his reach. Now that his dream was shattered. Even the memory of it still hurts. He sat down wearily on the couch, leaning his head back on the back of the couch with his eyes slightly closed. What lingered in his head was her face. There was happiness and sweetness. But there was also grief, hatred, and callousness. Involuntarily, he thought again of the cruel words she had said in the hospital the other day. He subconsciously frowned, his heart again aching badly. ¡®Grandma is right; I¡¯m the only one who is most trapped in this rtionship. And now, what should I do? I can¡¯t extricate myself unless I die,¡¯ he thought to himself. Suddenly, there was a faint sound of the door opening. He froze, opened his eyes abruptly, and saw Kisa leaning against the doorway of her room. ¡°Y¨CYou are home?¡± ¡®I thought she was keeping Jensenpany at the hospital. Had I known she was home, perhaps I wouldn¡¯t havee.¡¯ Gilbert was afraid to see her icily unforgiving face, afraid that she would mentionCopyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Jensen¡¯s ident to him. Although Jensen¡¯s ident was his unintentional mistake, he did not have the courage to exin himself and shirk his responsibility. Kisa looked at him quietly, with no expression on her pale face. Gilbert suddenly got up and whispered, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t havee here.¡± With that, he headed outside. Since she had said she would be sick at the sight of him, he tried to avoid her as much as possible so that she would be less disgusted with him. Kisa stared ponderously at him from behind, her hands secretly clenched at her sides. After a while, she chased after him as if she had made up her mind about something. ¡°Don¡¯t go!¡± She hugged him from behind by his slender waist, her voice containing a touch of vulnerable cry in it. ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡± Gilbert froze andpletely became unresponsive. ¡®Didn¡¯t she hate me? Didn¡¯t she still me me for Jensen¡¯s ident? Isn¡¯t she still disgusted with me and wants me dead? So what does she mean by suddenly asking me to stay?¡¯ His heart trembled terribly. He did not push her away, although he had doubts and confusion. Kisa pressed her face to his back, sobbing uncontrobly. There was even a touch of humility in her tone. ¡°I know you never liked me, and I know your previous kindness to me was all fake, but I can¡¯t help it. I¡¯m stuck. Gilbert, I love you. I can¡¯t lose you. Call me stupid or cheap; I will still follow you and stick with you for the rest of my life.¡± Gilbert listened in disbelief at what she said. ¡®What has happened? Why would she say such a thing to me? Isn¡¯t she still hating me?¡¯ While he was wondering, Kisa had alreadye around in front of him, standing on tiptoe and kissing him on the lips. Gilbert tensed up, and his pupils contracted. He then carried her into his arms and strode back toward the bedroom. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 927 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 927 Chapter 927 He Never Has Self-Control Over Her 11 cing the woman gently on the bed, he backed away slightly and stared into her glistening eyes, asking in a hoarse voice, ¡°Do you know what you are doing right now? Kisa said nothing. She just hooked his neck and kissed him again. Her tender yet¡® passionate kiss made him lose his mindpletely. He could not think about anything, just wanted to hold her and indulge himself once more. The woman beneath him was so passionate and perverse that every movement perfectly matched him. Because of her passionate cooperation, Gilbert almost went crazy and made love to her untilte at night. He never thought that he could make love to her in such a hearty way in this life. Even at this moment, when she was sleeping peacefully beside him, all of this felt like a dream to him; it was unreal in every way. After that, he leaned against the headboard,nguidly smoking a cigarette. His upper body was half exposed, his chest full of her passionate and wild scratches. He puffed out a ring of smoke, looking gently at the woman beside him. He had never been an indulgent person. In the years when Kisa disappeared, he had touched no woman. She was the only woman he had ever had. In this regard, he thought he had good self¨Ccontrol. But at this moment, looking at her fair and smooth shoulders, the feeling returned to him. He never had self¨Ccontrol over her. Hastily, he turned his eyes away. Thinking of her passionate reaction just now caused his lips to curl up involuntarily in a smile, his eyes growing softer and softer. Kisa was lying on her side with her back to him. She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the chaotic garments on the floor with cold eyes. ¡®As long as he is still interested in my body, then I can definitely take revenge on him,¡® she thought. Gilbert had just finished smoking a cigarette when he heard the woman beside him moan softly. He hurriedly turned to look and saw her turn around, looking at him with enigmatic eyes. He had never thought she could charm men before, but at this moment, her appearance of being half¨Cawake, especially after making love, with a blush on her face, was a sight that no man could resist. His eyes darkened, but he fought back the spur of passion inside him. After all, he had already been making out for a long time, and his body could not sustain any more of it. He took the woman into his arms and looked at her with gentle eyes. ¡°You are awake? Are you hungry?¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Kisa nodded her head gently. Neither of them mentioned the wild moment they just had nor the burdensome hatred and enmity. Gilbert gave her a peck on the lips and smiled. ¡°Hold on. I will make you something to eat.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Her voice was hoarse and lethargic, but it was extremely pleasant to listen to. Gilbert stroked her hair and got out from under the covers, getting out of bed to get dressed. Kisa looked away, her face expressionless, even her eyes vacant. Gilbert overlooked that and thought she was tired, so he said to her, ¡°You sleep a bit more. I will wake you up when the food is ready.¡± Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. ¡°Hmm.¡± She seemed exceedingly docile at the moment and would follow whatever he said. Gilbert smiled and walked out of the room. After he went out, Kisa sat up with the quilt on her, her body riddled with the traces of his affection. There was no denying that he was tender as if he took care of the most precious porcin in the world during the lovemaking session. But even this meant nothing to her. ¡®All men are like this. They can be very gentle in bed. But when they get out of bed, they change their faces. I will never once again talk about the so- called feelings with him,¡¯ she told herself in her mind, looking down at the marks on her chest and smiling in a demented way. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 928 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 928 Chapter 928 The Game of Feelings However, as she smiled, tears fell involuntarily. ¡®This time, I won¡¯t fall into his trap, no matter what. Since he likes to y games with others¡® feelings, I will y along this time.¡® Gilbert opened the refrigerator and took a look. Although there were many ingredients in the refrigerator, looking at the date, they were all bought on Kisa¡¯s birthday. His eyes darkened with a touch of sadness, thinking about her birthday. He pursed his lips, threw all those expired ingredients into the trash, and then cleaned the refrigerator before looking for other ingredients. He rummaged through the kitchen cabs and finally found a pack of pasta and, fortunately, a few eggs in the refrigerator. Gilbert took the eggs out and fried them first. When the pasta was done, heid the eggs on top. This way, it looked tantalizing. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. He had made two tes of pasta and was wondering if he should take it to the living room and wake Kisa up or take it into the bedroom when he saw Kisa appear in the kitchen doorway. The blush on her face had faded by now. She seemed to have taken a shower, her hair slightly soggy. She was wearing a baggy robe and looked a little frail. ¡°What have you made?¡± She smiled gently at him, unlike that day in the hospital. At this moment, she was simply different from the one she was that day. Gilbert had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he did not dare to think too much about it or even ask her. He coveted the intimacy of the moment. Even if it was a trap, he would rather fall into it. He showed the pasta to her and smiled. ¡°There were no other ingredients, so I cooked two tes of this.¡± ¡°That looks pretty yummy.¡± Kisa smiled, walked over, and reached over to take the te. However, Gilbert dodged her hand. ¡°It is hot. Go sit down at the table, and I will bring it over.¡± ¡°Mmmmmm, you are so sweet.¡± Kisa smiled sweetly at him, then leaned over to kiss him before turning around and heading over to the table. But when she turned around, the gentle smile on her face vanished, reced by a cold one. ¡®See, this man pretends to be gentle and considerate, so conveniently and naturally, almost realistic. If not for the heartbreaking experiences, recognizing the true nature of his malice and ruthlessness, I would have been deceived by his gentle disguise again.¡® Gilbert stared in stupefaction at her back. She had never behaved like a little woman in front of him, and now that she did, it felt a little strange. But he still liked it. Gilbert ced the te of pasta with more eggs in front of her. ¡°Tomorrow, we will go shopping for some ingredients, and I will make you another delicious meal.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Kisa held the te with one hand and picked up the cutlery with the other. Perhaps because she was already starving, she first took a bite. As she chewed the pasta, she stared nkly at the pasta on the te, her eyes reddening in the vapor. Seeing this, Gilbert frowned and asked anxiously, ¡°What is wrong? Is it not good?¡± Kisa said nothing. She just took another mouthful of pasta. But more and more tears were falling from her eyes, dripping onto the te. Gilbert got anxious and hastily went over to cradle her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 929 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 929 Chapter 929 Has She Ever Understood Him? ¡°If you don¡¯t like it, leave it. I will get you something else to eat,¡± Gilbert said, going to take the te away. Kisa suddenly held on to the te of pasta, choking on a sob as she slurred, ¡°It is delicious. The pasta you cooked is delicious. It is just that I didn¡¯t expect you to cook it for me. After all, you said that you never liked me.¡± It hurt him to hear herst sentence. ¡®As expected, no matter how much of a goodwill gesture I have made, she still minds what I saidst time. She always holds grudges and holds on to those hurtful things I said,¡± Gilbert thought to himself. He then stroked her long, silky hair and said helplessly, ¡± Those callous things I said to you the other day were really all lies. They were just for grandma to hear. I thought you would understand me.¡± Kisa sneered in her mind. ¡®Have I ever understood him? Had the warden not first told me the truth about the fire that day, he might have sessfully deceived me again.¡® She secretly kept down the bitterness in her heart and choked out, ¡°I don¡¯t care if those hurtful things you said are true. I¡¯m going to stick with you for the rest of my life. Even if you are tired of me, disgusted with me, and want to drive me away, I¡¯m not going away.¡± ¡°Silly girl.¡± Gilbert took her into his arms affectionately. He cradled her head to his chest and said in a deep voice, ¡°I love you more than I can say. Why would I drive you away? Remember, I will never drive you away in my life. Unless you betray me and do something wrong to me.¡± ¡®He always speaks with such deep affection, and even his promises are loaded with tenderness. He is a true amorist, I must say.¡¯ Kisa shook her head vigorously. ¡°I will not betray you. I thought a lot these days and found I love you the most. Of course, I once hated and resented you. But that resentment is ultimately no match for my feelings for you. Gilbert, I don¡¯t mind even if you are deceiving me. As long as I can stay by your side, I will do whatever you want.¡± She deliberately lowered herself, eager to see who was a better actor. Gilbert stared at her soberly, finding this woman increasingly strange. But even if she was very weird at the moment, he did not bother to look deeper. He just wanted her to stay by his side, even if he was deceiving himself and she had an ulterior motive. ¡°Okay, don¡¯t think too much. Let¡¯s eat.¡± Gilbert brushed the hair hanging down by her cheek to the back of her ear and smiled softly at her. Kisa pursed her lips and suddenly said, ¡°I have reflected on what the warden said.¡± Gilbert¡¯s hand holding the cutlery froze for a moment. Although he did not want to mention those things to ruin the atmosphere, there was something that they had to face, eventually. He hung his head and asked in a deep voice, ¡°So, do you believe him or me?¡± ¡°I believe you, of course,¡± she said without the slightest hesitation. Gilbert¡¯s heart fluttered with a sh of excitement and secret joy. He initially thought he could never exin himself about the fire after the warden¡¯s death and Jensen¡¯s passing in aa. But now she said she believed him. Kisa said seriously, ¡°The warden said that you conspired with him to start the fire, but I thought about it carefully and found that what he said did not match the words of the two jailers. Compared with the warden, I would rather believe you.¡± N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. ¡°Then have you ever wondered why the warden smeared me?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 930 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 930 Chapter 930 He¡¯ll Wake Up for Sure Gilbert asked in a deep voice. He was going to say that Jensen had asked the warden to nder him, but thinking of Jensen¡¯s current condition, he thought better of it. Besides, he had said the same thing at the hospital the other day, but she did not believe him and even gave him a sarcastic sneer. ¡°Who knows what the warden has been through all these years? And he didn¡¯t even look like a good guy. So I couldn¡¯t trust him.¡± ¡°But isn¡¯t Jensen the one who found the warden? Don¡¯t you trust Jensen?¡± Gilbert asked in a strained voice. Kisa¡¯s face darkened at the mention of Jensen. She leaned back in her chair and murmured, ¡°I trust Jensen, but there is no guarantee that the warden has seen no one else before Jensen found him. What if the actual killer was someone else, and the actual killer had threatened him? So I won¡¯t conclude that you are the mastermind of that fire just because of his one¨Csided story.¡± She would not fully believe that Gilbert was the mastermind based on the warden¡¯s words alone. But it was not only the warden this time but also the two jailers, Gilbert¡¯s own admission, and Jensen¡¯s ident. All things point to Gilbert. It was just that he was now denying those things. So Kisa figured that since Gilbert was trying to deceive her again, she would y along. Gilbert stared at her face and asked in a deep voice, ¡°You really think so?¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Kisa nodded. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. ¡°What about Jensen¡¯s ident? You don¡¯t me me?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the police investigate? It was just an ident, and no one wanted it to happen. Jensen still won¡¯t wake up even if I me you,¡± Kisa said, looking at him with a touch of guilt slowly creeping up on her face. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for that day at the hospital.¡± She pulled his hand over and rolled up his sleeve. The large needle holes in his arm had turned blue and purple. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°I was too emotional that day. That was why I said those hurtful things to you. Please don¡¯t take it to heart. I know you are also very worried about Jensen. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have disregarded your health to donate so much blood to him.¡± Kisa hung her head, her voice full of guilt and sorrow. Gilbert pulled his arm back and smiled at her. ¡°It is all right. I would have donated more had he needed more. It is a shame he has still not woken up. But at least his life is no longer in danger.¡± ¡°Yeah, and I¡¯m sure¡­¡± Kisa looked soberly at the te of pasta and said confidently,¡± he is going to wake up.¡± Gilbert stared at the side of her face without uttering another word. In GK CEO¡¯s office, Gilbert leaned back in his chair and stared nkly at the ceiling, still thinking about Kisa¡¯s strange behaviorst night. She had shown him affection and even passionately made love to him, which he was happy about. But he was afraid it was all just a sh in the pan. He had now be a little suspicious, feeling insecure. As he was deep in thought, Davian suddenly said to him with concern, ¡°Mr. Kooper, why don¡¯t you just go home and rest? It is not that busy these days. I will take care of things and inform you if something importantes up.¡± Davian was surprised when Mr. Kooper suddenly came to the office today. ¡®His mood has not been very good for the past few days, and he has also lost a lot of weight. He donated so much blood to Jensen the other day and has yet to recover. He is still looking pale. But he has been in a good mood since he came to the office today. Could it be that he has found something he could be happy about?¡® While Davian was thinking, Gilbert¡¯s cell phone suddenly rang. Gilbert picked up the phone and looked at it, and then the corners of his lips curled up in a smile involuntarily. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 931 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 931 Chapter 931 Falling in Love Again Davian was wide¨Ceyed. He had not seen Gilbert smile in days. He remembered that when he went to see him at the Kooper residence yesterday, Gilbert looked dejected. ¡® What happened? Could it be that Mr. Kooper fell in love again? That¡¯s unlikely since he loves his wife so much. There¡¯s no way he could fall in love with another woman so quickly. Could this phone call be from his wife? But, that¡¯s even more unlikely. After all, his wife was looking at him with hatred in the hospital the other day as if she wanted to kill him.¡® While Davian was still wondering, Gilbert stood up. It was uncertain what the person on the other end of the phone said, but Gilbert¡¯s smile was especially gentle. ¡°Okay, just give me a minute. I¡¯ll be right there,¡± Gilbert said. Davian remained frozen in ce even after Gilbert had walked out of the CEO¡¯s office. He was almost certain that Gilbert had fallen in love again. He was curious about what kind of woman it was that had brought Gilbert out of his misery so quickly. Kisa was already waiting in front of the supermarket. She was wearing a mask and a cap, leaving only her eyes exposed. Worried that Gilbert would not recognize her, she was about to call him and tell him what color she was wearing today when he suddenly appeared right in front of her. He was standing in front of the supermarket without wearing any disguise. He was tall, sophisticated, and had a distinguished appearance, which attracted countless gazes instantly as he stood there. Kisa gave him a re. ¡°You should at least wear a mask. What if the press exposes us?¡± ¡°What are you so afraid of?¡± Gilbert said, taking off Kisa¡¯s mask at the same time. ¡°So be it. We are husband and wife and should graciously appear in front of the media.¡± N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. ¡°But-¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, grandma has given us her blessing to be together.¡± Gilbert sped her hand, looking at her with tenderness in his eyes. But, when Kisa heard what he said, she was not the least bit happy. Instead, she felt ironic. ¡®Of course, his grandmother would approve of us being together because she knows he is duping me and ying with my feelings. What she cares about the most is Gilbert, her grandson. As long as Gilbert is not hurt, she doesn¡¯t care about other people, including Jensen, even if they are hurt by Gilbert in the worst way.¡® Kisa used to think that Madalyn was the best person in the world for her, besides her mother. But now, she had changed her mind. Madalyn was just a selfish and ruthless person. ¡°I¡¯m not disturbing your work, am I?¡± Kisa asked as she took his arm and walked toward the supermarket. The two of them stood out in the crowd, and many fans took pictures of them with their phones. Gilbert did not mind at all and was happily shopping for ingredients. He said to Kisa, ¡°Of course not. I was just about to ask if you¡¯re awake.¡± When he left in the morning, she was still sleeping soundly, so he did not disturb her. Now, it was around 11:00 am, so he could assume that she had just woken up. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going to make me a nice meal? I¡¯m going back to the set tomorrow for filming, so I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to enjoy it.¡± ¡°Geez, you glutton.¡± Gilbert stroked her long hair with amusement. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I meant what I said.¡± ¡®Yeah, he meant what he said. Just like how he said he would give me an unforgettable birthday. And sure enough, that birthday was one I would never forget -it was a painful one.¡® Gilbert pushed the cart with one hand and wrapped his arm around her slender waist with the other. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 932 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 932 Chapter 932 Never Have a Home Together ¡°Even if you are filming, I will make the meal at home, and you can eat it as soon as youe home,¡± Gilbert casually said. The mention of the word ¡®home¡® tugged at Kisa¡¯s heartstrings, but she quickly regained herposure. ¡®I will never have a home together with this man,¡¯ she said to herself in her mind. ke was crouching alone under a tree in the garden of the Kooper residence, looking so lonely that it was almost heartbreaking. So Ada and Andrew brought Madalyn out. ¡°Grandma, ke is always depressed these days. Can you please cajole him? Andrew and I have not been able to coax him.¡± Ada looked at ke and said to Madalyn worriedly. Since Jensen¡¯s ident, Mia had left ke here. ke had not smiled since that day and had be much quieter, not as cheerful as when he first came to the Kooper residence. Madalyn felt sad, too, when she thought of Jensen. Though she cared most about Gilbert, her grandson, she still had some feelings for Jensen. Looking at ke reminded her of Jensen as a child. She sighed and slowly walked toward ke. ¡°ke, what are you doing out here? It is hot outside. Let¡¯s go inside.¡± ke shook his head as he looked toward the main entrance. ¡°I miss Dad. They say he has been sleeping and won¡¯t wake up again.¡± It hurt Madalyn to hear that. She took ke¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Those people are talking nonsense. Your godfather will surely wake up. Look at me. I also slept for so long but still woke up.¡± ¡°Yeah, ke. Don¡¯t you worry.¡± Ada held ke¡¯s hand andforted him. Andrew took ke¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Yes, ke, Uncle Jensen is so tough; he will surelye out of it soon. So don¡¯t worry too much. Take good care of yourself, or your godmother will also worry about you.¡± ke nodded with reddened eyes. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go to the toy room and have some fun. When Daddyes home, we will ask about Uncle Jensen,¡± Ada said, bringing ke back into the house. Andrew hurriedly followed. Madalyn was about to enter the house when Davian suddenly came running in with gusto. She was puzzled and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t Gilbert at the office? What are you doing here?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper asked me to bring back some important documents. He will read them tonight,¡± Davian said and showed a stack of documents to her. ¡°Gilbert is not in the office at the moment?¡± Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Davian ran into the house in a sh as if he had not heard her question. Madalyn shook her head with discontent and wondered why Gilbert hired Davian as his assistant. She also became suspicious because of Davian¡¯s sudden appearance. She was delighted when Gilbert said he was going to the office yesterday, thinking that everything would be fine as long as he could pull himself together. When she did not see hime home yesterday evening, she called him, but his cell phone was turned off. She got anxious all night and called again in the following early morning. Gilbert answered and said he was at the office. But if Gilbert was at the office, Davian would not have to send the documents back. Just as Madalyn was wondering, Davian had already brought the documents to Gilbert¡¯s study. When he came out and was about to leave, he could not help but talk to Madalyn. ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., you wouldn¡¯t expect Mr. Kooper to fall in love again, would you?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 933 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 933 Chapter 933 Seem Passionate But Actually Heartless Madalyn immediately frowned; a look of confusion was on her aging face. ¡°Second act in love? What do you mean?¡± Davian leaned in with a mysterious expression, ¡°Mr. Kooper got a call from some woman today, and he was beaming. After that, he took off in a hurry to see her.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s the woman? Is it Kisa Becker?¡± Madalyn asked dubiously. ¡®Only Kisa Becker can tug on Gilbert¡¯s heartstrings in this world. Even though I don¡¯t want to admit this, it is the truth. But judging from Gilbert and Kisa¡¯s current rtionship, it also seems unlikely,¡® she thought. Davian echoed her thoughts, ¡°It¡¯s definitely not Ms. Becker. She still hates Mr. Kooper, so she couldn¡¯t possibly get back together with him.¡± After hearing Davian¡¯s words, Madalyn immediately snorted icily. ¡°Hate? Who is she to hate Gilbert? She can¡¯t atone for her sins even if she paid Gilbert back with her own life.¡± Davian was speechless. ¡®Here we go again! I shouldn¡¯t have brought this up,¡® he thought. Just as he was about to leave, Madalyn abruptly tugged him, ¡°Go find out if it¡¯s the woman Gilbert brought back from Athadale. The one who runs a restaurant.¡± There was a hint of awkwardness on Davian¡¯s face for a moment. ¡®It definitely isn¡¯t her. Gilbert purposefully brought that woman back so he could introduce her to me. While the two of us can¡¯t see eye to eye, we identally did the deed when both of us were wasted. That¡¯s why that woman definitely isn¡¯t the woman involved in Mr. Kooper¡¯s second act in love. Well, of course, I can¡¯t possibly tell Mrs. Kooper Sr. about this,¡® he thought. After verbally agreeing to Madalyn¡¯s orders, Davian quickly ran out of the courtyard. Then, he took off in his car. Meanwhile, Madalyn remained in her spot with a frown. She felt a little uneasy because of Gilbert¡¯s second act in love. Coming back from shopping, Gilbert had bought lots of ingredients for cooking. When he returned, his hands were carrying with multiple bags filled to the brim. His forearms were tense due to the weight in his hands. Kisa wanted to help Gilbert out, but he refused to let her. Right after they got into the house, Gilbert took the ingredients into the kitchen. Then, he rolled up his sleeves and got ready to cook. While tying his apron, he said to her without turning around, ¡°Go rest for a bit. The food will be ready soon.¡± Kisa sat down on the couch. She stared at the man in a daze as he bustled around the kitchen. She was lost in thought. ¡®I always wonder how good his acting is whenever he¡¯s being considerate to me. How¡¯s he treating a woman he doesn¡¯t love this well? Even though Jensen¡¯s in aa and poses no threat to him, he¡¯s still ying his part in this emotional drama. That¡¯s why I sometimes wonder if he still harbors some feelings for me, except these feelings may be minusculepared to his self¨Cinterests. When Gilbert thinks of these feelings, he¡¯ll sincerely treat me well. But when he isn¡¯t thinking of them, he instantly turns against me and hurts me until I have nothing left; he could even throw me into the depths of hell. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. People like him seem passionate but are actually heartless. Regardless of whether he harbors such feelings or not, they can¡¯t erase the heartless things he¡¯s done to me, ¡®she thought, brooding. She retracted her icy gaze. Then, she got up and walked to the entryway. There were a couple of drawers in the entryway. Kisa pulled one of them open and took out a contract. It was the contract from when she transferred J & K Film Group¡¯s equity to Jensen. However, Jensen had not wanted thepany, so he gave her the contract. After she ced the contract on the coffee table, a dark glint shed across her eyes. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 934 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 934 Chapter 934 You¡¯re Full? Gilbert cooked quite several dishes, most of them being Kisa¡¯s favorites. After cing the dishes on the table one by one, he smiled and said warmly, ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s eat.¡± Kisa walked over with the contract. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Gilbert asked curiously after seeing the contract in her hand, Kisa pulled him into a chair and handed him the contract, ¡°This is the contract from when I transferred the equity of J & K Film Group to Jensen. After giving it some thought, I decided to transfer the company¡¯s equity to you.¡± Gilbert frowned. ¡°To me?¡± ¡°Mhm. I want J & K Film Group to merge into GK Pictures.¡± Kisa continued earnestly, ¡°You started GK Pictures singlehandedly. With Jensen¡¯s current state, I don¡¯t have the confidence to manage ourpany. I¡¯d rather thepany gets merged under GK Pictures rather than letting otherpanies take advantage of it. At the very least, otherpanies won¡¯t be able to dissolve J & K Film Group when it¡¯s under GK Pictures. Besides, this will also expand the scale of GK Pictures, so this is kind of a win¨Cwin approach.¡± ¡°But you don¡¯t need to transfer your equity to me,¡± Gilbert said. Then, he handed the contract back to her, ¡°J & K Film Group belongs to you guys; I can¡¯t take it.¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t transfer the equity to you, the higher¨Cups in GK Pictures won¡¯t give in.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Gilbert frowned and felt his chest tighten. ¡®I¡¯m the reason Jensen ended up this way. I¡¯m already feeling so guilty toward him; I¡¯ll feel even worse if I acquire hispany,¡® he thought. Seeing his troubled expression, Kisa promptly lowered her gaze. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to take in J & K Film Group, it¡¯s fine. I can only me myself for being incapable; I¡¯m just panicking because Jensen isn¡¯t around,¡± she said sadly. Gilbert could not stand the sight of the woman ming herself. He contemted for a while before finallypromising, ¡°Alright. We¡¯ll go with what you said.¡± Kisa immediately smiled. She pulled him in by the neck and kissed him on the lips, ¡± You¡¯re the best, Gilbert.¡± When the woman smiled, her bright eyes twinkled as if there were stars within. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Gilbert darkened his gaze and gripped her waist. Then, he nted his lips on her and gradually deepened the kiss. The woman was pressed up against the edge of the table because of his kiss. She propped one of her hands on the dining table and the other on his chest. Then she said breathlessly, ¡°Time¡­ Time to eat. I¡¯m so hungry.¡± Gilbert¡¯s eyes were dark and gloomy, as if he could suck her in. He peered at the cor of her shirt, which was slightly undone. He said in a hoarse, sexy voice that was filled with desire, ¡°Alright. You can eat first, and then we¡¯ll continue once you¡¯re done eating.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and moved out of his embrace. While holding her bowl, she lowered her voice and mumbled incoherently, ¡°Continue what? I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying!¡± Gilbert sat down across from her. Then, he smiled mischievously, ¡°You don¡¯t need to understand because you¡¯ll find outter.¡± The man spoke in a very suggestive tone. Kisa nced at him before quickly lowering her head. She purposefully ate slowly. However, the man did not take a single bite and only had some juice, as if he were not hungry. With amusement, he leaned into the chair and watched Kisa slowly chew. Gilbert knew she was purposefully stalling for time, but he did not panic. After all, she had nowhere to run. After a while, Gilbert saw that she was finally slowly finishing her food in the bowl. Only then did he pour her a ss of juice. ¡°Let me get you another serving. Take your time. Your throat isn¡¯t well, so you do eat slower. Besides, we have plenty of time.¡± Seeing how the man realized she was purposefully stalling, Kisa ced her cutlery down in embarrassment. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯m full.¡± ¡°You¡¯re full?¡± Gilbert asked with a smile. Kisa nodded, ¡°Mhm. I¡¯m full.¡± Soon after she spoke, the man picked her up. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 935 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 935 Chapter 935 Being Special Has Nothing to Do With Love ¡°Ah!¡± Kisa shrieked. She quickly put her arms around his neck, ¡°What¡­ What¡¯re you doing?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I say we¡¯re continuing our unfinished business?¡± The man smirked and carried her to the bedroom. Gilbert closed the heavy curtains, and they were isted from the hustling and bustling world outside. Their tiny bedroom became a space for them to have a good time. Clothes were scattered on the floor as the soft,rge bed shook. Every time they did this, Kisa would think to herself, ¡®This man must be really interested in my body. Otherwise, why¡¯d he always ask for it like he¡¯s gone mad? I¡¯m only now understanding that he can do such things even though he doesn¡¯t love me; he¡¯s purely interested in my body, and that¡¯s why he¡¯s so engrossed in it. To him, this is probably what slightly sets me apart from other women, only slightly. However, me being ¡®special¡® to him has nothing to do with love. For instance, we¡¯ve known each other since childhood, so this is what makes me special to himpared to other women.¡® After they did the deed, Kisa walked to the bathroom with an aching body. Meanwhile, the man leaned against the headboard while smokingzily. Kisa turned on the shower head, and the tiny bathroom instantly fogged up. She faced the mirror. For a while, she stared at her body, which was covered in love bites. ¡®I don¡¯t know what I¡¯m doing. All I know is I have to make this man crazy about me. It doesn¡¯t matter if he¡¯s crazy about me or my body; I¡¯ll be able to take my revenge as long as he¡¯s crazy about me: I understand that this will be hard to achieve. After all, this man would¡¯ve fallen in love with me long ago if he could; he wouldn¡¯t have to wait till now. But¡­ I can¡¯t think of any other way to take revenge on him. At the same time, I can¡¯t just let him get away like this. Both my hatred and Jensen¡¯s go bone deep,¡® she thought. All she knew was she had to make this man crazy about her. She walked up to the sink and propped her upper body onto it. Then, a sorrowful and conflicted expression appeared on her face. Sometimes, the strong sense of helplessness and self¨Cloath made her feel suffocated. If it were not for her revenge, she wanted to be liberated and end things once and for all. Kisa turned around and leaned against the sink. All she felt was sadness. ¡®Back then, I shouldn¡¯t have listened to what my mother said and pestered that boy named Gilbert Kooper,¡® she thought. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Gilbert¡¯s cigarette had burned out. He stood up slightly and looked toward the bathroom. ¡®It¡¯s been a while. Why isn¡¯t Kisa out yet?¡® he wondered. He got up and put on a bathrobe. Then, he walked over and knocked on the door. The woman¡¯s panicked voice sounded before he could speak his worries. ¡°Don¡¯te in. I¡¯m almost done.¡± Gilbert smiled and did not go in. Instead, he turned to his side and leaned against the door frame. Gilbert could not help but light another cigarette. ¡®She¡¯s been acting strange for the past few days; it¡¯s making me a little unsettled. I only feel at ease when I have her in my arms,¡® he thought. Gilbert continued waiting for a while more before the woman finally came out of the bathroom. All she had covering her body was a bath towel; her reddened cheeks and exposed skin looked extra seductive. Gilbert¡¯s gaze darkened once more. However, he did not act on his impulse as he did earlier on. He pulled the woman over to the side of the bed and sat her down. Then, he took a hairdryer and started blow¨Cdrying her hair. He was very gentle and did not hurt her scalp at all. Meanwhile, Kisa sat by the bed nkly and left Gilbert to toy with her hair. ags being Special Has Nothing to Do With Love Momentster, Kisa suddenly heard the man¡¯s voicee above her head. It was mingled with the sound of the hairdryer and sounded incoherent. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 936 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 936 Chapter 936 Your Small Frame ¡°You should eat more¡­ Your small frame can¡¯t handle me¡­¡± The man¡¯s sentence was drowned out by the whirring sounds. Kisa lowered her gaze and twitched the corner of her lips self¨Cmockingly. ¡®I¡¯m being intimate and sleeping with him with an ulterior motive, yet my body still reacts to his gentle actions. Isn¡¯t this very absurd, ironic¡­ and sad?¡® she thought. The whirring of the hairdryer stopped abruptly. Gilbert stroked her long, silky hair and chuckled, ¡°Alright. It¡¯s dry.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Kisa smiled and looked up at him. There was an inexplicable hint of sadness in her tone. She continued, ¡°You¡¯re being so nice to me right now. Will theree a day when you get bored of me and hate me again and say heartless things to me like you did that night?¡± ¡°Of course not!¡± Gilbert replied in a panic and pulled her into his embrace. ¡°I said before that I won¡¯t push you away again, no matter what happens in the future. Unless¡­ Unless you betray me or stop loving me.¡± Kisa¡¯s head was buried in his arms. There was an icy look in her eyes. ¡°I won¡¯t. I won¡¯t betray you.¡± By the time they finished doing the deed, it was dusk. Gilbert was in the kitchen making Kisa dinner. When he came out, he saw her standing in front of the window in a daze. He walked over and hugged her from behind, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you worried about Jensen?¡± Kisa leaned slightly onto his chest and said coolly, ¡°Don¡¯t get the wrong idea. Jensen and ! are just friends, so of course, I¡¯m a little worried about him when he¡¯s in this state.¡± Gilbert pursed his lips. Momentster, he spoke, ¡°I¡¯ll go visit him with you tomorrow.¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Whenever he thought of Jensen, he had a heavy heart and felt a mixture of emotions. ¡®Because of this incident, I have no right to feel jealous even if the person Kisa truly loves is Jensen,¡® thought Gilbert. Kisa turned to him in his arms. Then, she smiled at him, ¡°Did you see the entertainment news this afternoon?¡± Gilbert raised an eyebrow, ¡°Why?¡± ¨C Kisa smiled. She took out her phone and haphazardly opened an entertainment news site. Suddenly, a photo of the two of them at the supermarket this afternoon popped up. This was their first time being seen acting intimately in the public eye. Since the two were incredibly popr, the topic of them visiting the supermarket together became a hot topic across various tforms in less than an hour. The entertainment industry was in shambles. Many spected that the two might remarry. Some spected the merging of GK Pictures and J & K Film Group. Some even started to feel suspicious about Jensen¡¯s ident. Anyhow, cyberspace and the inte is aplex world with all sorts of rumors and spections. Gilbert skimmed through the news casually.

She smiled back at him. There was even a hint of glee in her tone. She continued, ¡°What do we do now? Everyone knows that we¡¯re together. It¡¯ll be difficult for you to get rid of me when you get tired of me in the future.¡± Gilbert was quite fond of her gleeful expression. He pulled the woman into his arms and hugged her bossily. ¡°So be it. I hope I won¡¯t be able to get rid of you for the rest of my life.¡± Kisa smiled, but only lightly. Her smile did not reach from ear to ear. ¡®His gentle and bossy words never fail to make me feel warm inside. But it¡¯s a shame Came because I died inside long ago!¡® she thought. She moved out of his embrace and got up. Then, she looked at him earnestly, ¡°Right now, we need to give the media andizens an exnation no matter what.¡± Gilbert narrowed his eyes and revealed a meaningful smile.

The two were intimate with each other and are suspected of having ns to remarry. The two rified to the media today that they never divorced and had always been husband and wife. Kisa Becker also stated that J & K Film Group was to be merged into GK Films. Netizens are buzzing¡­¡± Madalyn stared at the live broadcast on TV with a dark gaze. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Gilbert and Kisa were all smiles as they faced the reporters. The two were holding and seemed extraordinarily close. Suddenly, Madalyn took a deep breath and flung the remote control at the TV screen. George was startled. He quite consoled Madalyn. ¡°Ma¡¯am, didn¡¯t you already agree to let the young master and mistress be together? Why are you so angry?¡± ¡°I did agree to let them be together, but things are different now.¡± Madalyn continued with a worried expression, ¡°The woman still hated Gilbert so much when Jensen got into the ident. It¡¯s only been a few days, yet she¡¯s gotten back together with Gilbert. Moreover, the two seem so close. Don¡¯t you find it odd?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± George was startled by her question. He thought what Madalyn said made some sense. After some contemtion, George continued, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, madam. The young master isn¡¯t stupid. With that intelligent head of his, he¡¯ll surely notice if the young mistress is approaching him with ulterior motives.¡± Madalyn snorted abruptly. She sneered, ¡°That woman is shameful and scheming like her mother. Gilbert is so head over heels in love with her that he wouldn¡¯t even dodge if she were holding a knife and trying to kill him. He¡¯s pigheaded!¡± By the end of Madalyn¡¯s sentence, she sounded as if she was disappointed and desperately wanted Gilbert to change. George consoled her again, ¡°You worry too much, madam. Perhaps the young mistress isn¡¯t as heartless as you think. Besides, isn¡¯t she merging J & K Film¨CGroup with GK Films? That¡¯s the equivalent of giving thepany to the young master. Isn¡¯t this enough to show that she¡¯s genuine toward the young master?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Madalyn was also puzzled. ¡®At first, I thought Kisa made up with Gilbert out of the blue because she wanted to take revenge by snatching GK Films and ruining Gilbert¡¯s name. But now that this woman has even given herpany, J & K Film Group, to Gilbert, I¡¯m starting to not understand what she¡¯s doing. Regardless, I still cannot fully trust that she loves Gilbert. Otherwise, Gilbert wouldn¡¯t have gone through this much heartbreak. I have to keep an eye on this woman no matter what,¡® thought Madalyn. In the club, Anthony was pointing at the massive electronic screen andughing out loud. ¡°Mr. Tanner, is this the revenge that you spoke of? Are you sure you weren¡¯t helping them get together?¡± Sharon was furious. ¡°How could you? I thought the woman would be in grief for a while. Who would¡¯ve thought she¡¯d happily get back together with Gilbert a few dayster? She¡¯s even be GK Film¡¯s CEO¡¯s wife again; she must feel great! That b*tch must be crazy. Didn¡¯t the prison guard say that Gilbert was the mastermind behind the fire? Why is she¡­ Still able to stay with Gilbert?¡± Sharon said and revealed an incredulous expression in the end. Adrien slowly smoked his cigarette while the othersined. Once they finishedining, he chuckled.

How could she possibly still be with Jensen? All this was just the prelude to that woman¡¯s revenge. Adrien could see through it but did not speak out about it. Anthony frustratingly pulled at his tie and spoke to Adrien, ¡°Mr. Tanner, it¡¯s not my ce to criticize you, but after working together for so long. I have also done so much for you. Yet you look at Gilbert; what losses did he suffer? He is still living his high life as usual and even got his beloved woman back. I don¡¯t care.

I will help you aplish them.¡± Anthony was already used to the man before him being all talk and no action. He huffed in disdain, then picked up a ss of wine and drank it, sulking. Sharon also was so angry that she did not stop drinking alcohol. ¡°So all those things we did were for nothing?¡± Sharon huffed secretly through gritted teeth. Her tone was full of bitterness. Adrien sneered, ¡°The warden is already dead. Your threat is gone. You still feel that these things were done for nothing?¡± Sharon¡¯s expression drastically changed. Then immediately hung her head without making a sound. Carolyn suspiciously gave her a single nce, ¡°What threat? What do you mean?¡± ¡°No¡­ Nothing,¡± Sharon said unnaturally, ¡°It¡¯s just¡­ it¡¯s just that the warden is dead. As the saying goes, dead men tell no tales.

Adrien smiled meaningfully but did not make a sound. Anthony smiled coldly and did not say anything either. The individuals gathered here were all smiling but had different motivations.

He¡­¡± The bodyguard had yet to finish his sentence, and Christopher walked in menacingly. Carolyn¡¯s expression changed, and she hurriedly moved to the side. She purposedly distances herself from Adrien. Christopher looked through the hall a single time. The hall had many entertainment programs. A few people were sitting in the most luxurious booth right in the middle. With a single nce, she saw Carolyn and Sharon among them. Carolyn was wearing heavy and refined makeup while being dressed very provocatively and sexily. Christopher saw this, and the suspicion in his heart grew more profound. He sneered at Carolyn, ¡°I felt odd, actually. Why were you not at home every day recently? Turns out you were here all the time. Why? Are the programs here fun, or are the men here better to seduce?¡± Christopher¡¯sst sentence was a little harsh and spoken loudly enough that the other customers having fun in the same hall also heard it. The crowd all started to mock him as well. Anthony chuckled once, then swirled his wine ss. He watched the drama before his eyes with a face full of amusement. In fact, the dramas involving arguments between husbands and wives were his favorite to watch. Carolyn¡¯s aged face immediately turned red from embarrassment. She rushed over and pinched Christopher¡¯s arms while roaring furiously, ¡°What rubbish are you babbling about? I merely came here for a bit of recreation with my friends. Besides, Sharon is here too. What else are you still going to suspect?

Carolyn¡¯s face was red from the anger, ¡°You¡¯re never at home every day. Have you already forgotten exactly whose woman you are, huh?¡± Christopher spoke on as he gave Adrien a nce angrily. Adrien smoked his cigarettezily. When Christopher looked over at him, he even shed a mocking smile back at Christopher. It seemed like a provocation. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. This smile further triggered Christopher, yet he had no guts to challenge this man.

I haven¡¯t had enough fun. Let go!¡± Carolyn struggled with all her might. However, just as she broke free from Christopher¡¯s hand, Christopher suddenly gave her a backhanded p. The clear sound of the p swiftly attracted the crowd to gather around. Carolyn was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly pounced at Christopher like a mad woman, ¡°You actually dare to hit me, Christopher Becker? I¡¯ll fight you right now, you coward. You actually dared to hit me!¡± Seeing the two of them tussle together, Sharon hurriedly rushed over to break the fight. Carolyn was quickly flung away with a p from Christopher. Her whole body lurched and crashed into the arms of Sharon. Christopher red with both his red eyes at Carolyn, then spoke cruelly, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, if you dare to cheat on me. I won¡¯t spare you or show mercy!¡± Christopher finished speaking and walked away in a rage. Carolyn was mad from the anger. She cursed out loud at his silhouette without care, ¡°You don¡¯t freaking know how many men you¡¯ve been cuckolded by, so what difference does one more even make?¡± ¡°You¡¯re such a coward. In the past, you liked Emilia, yet you didn¡¯t dare to pursue her. You could only y dirty!¡± ¡°Even if you got her body, so what? In the end, she still cheated on you behind your back. Christopher, you are a freaking waste of space!¡± Christopher had left without a trace, and Carolyn was still cursing. The whole hall was still looking at her, making a scene. Sharon¡¯s dignity was about to crumble. She forcefully dragged Carolyn back to the booth. Anthony drank his wine and spoke with a smile on his face, ¡°That was a truly spectacr performance. By the way, is that Emilia Becker Kisa¡¯s mother?¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s her!¡± Carolyn was so furious she could not speak. With disdain stered on her face, Sharon said, ¡°That woman craved money and status in the past. She saw that my father was loaded, so she used numerous tactics to crawl into my father¡¯s bed. After that, Emilia smoothly married into the Becker family using her pregnancy. Most disgraceful of all, after that woman married into our Becker family, she still acted out her high and mighty image. Not only did she despise my mother, but she also ignored her. Heh, in the end, she was still kicked out and broken off by my father. How could shepare with my mother?¡± Anthony listened nonchntly as if listening to a joke. Carolyn stared at the entrance with a dark expression. She spoke with gritted teeth,¡± That Emilia Becker was a sl*t, a wench. Her skills in bed were unbelievable.

What happened to you? Why are you so clumsy?¡± Saying this, she hurriedly let the bodyguards fetch the first aid kit. Adrien, with a cold re, stared at her but, with a smile on his face, said, ¡°It¡¯s fine.

Adrien suddenly, with soft movements, caressed her shoulder and said, ¡°You were clearly so nice. Back then, Christopher had gone beyond his league in pursuing you. How could he treat you like this?¡± Carolyn¡¯s face was red from his praises. The anger in her heart was immediately swept away and reced with a glint of a secret delight. Anthony watched Adrien¡¯s movements thoughtfully. A glimmer of inquisition shed in his eyes. After a while, he chuckled while standing up, ¡°Listening to all of you curse Emilia Becker and her daughter, even I felt embarrassed for you all. Other people can seduce men based on their skills in bed. That¡¯s called skills. You should all take a leaf out of her book.¡± ¡°You!¡± Sharon was so angry that she was about to curse someone.

Don¡¯t go back with him.¡± Carolyn nodded her head without even a bit of consideration. Sharon hurriedly pulled at her arm,¡± Mother, let¡¯s not do that. What if father finds out?¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine. If Christopher knows, then he knows. How could I possibly be afraid of him?¡± Carolyn frowned at her while speaking, ¡°Anyway, what are you doing still recognizing that coward as your father? Look at Mr. Tanner. This kind of father would be worthy of your pride instead!¡± Sharon pursed her lips and looked at Adrien a little bashfully. Naturally, she hoped a charismatic, competent, and powerful man like Adrien Tanner would be her father. However, it was unknown if Adrien was willing to or not. ¡°p!¡± A clear sound of a p immediately reverberated from the room. Leaning on the wall outside, the smoking Gilbert¡¯s face immediately fell. He put out his cigarette butt. With a few steps, he rushed in and pulled Kisa, still stunned, standing there, into his arms. ¡°You dare hit her?¡± Gilbert coldly stared at Mia. Due to his anger, his arms were bulging tensely. Mia sneered, ¡°So what if I did hit her? You two are a pair of mutts. What right do you have toe to see Jensen? Get out of my sight!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Gilbert seemed to want to rush in and discipline her. Kisa hurriedly held onto his arm. She spoke with pursed lips, ¡± Gilbert, let¡¯s go.¡± It was Kisa who caused Jensen to be in this state. Indeed, she did not dare, out of shame, see him. Gilbert pulled her behind him to protect her.

As she recalled the image of him smiling, her heart hurt deeply. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Kisa agonizingly said those two words, but Jensen did not hear them. With a cold expression, Mia said, ¡± Jensen is already in this state. What use is an apology now?

Just don¡¯te back here ever again.¡± Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Kisa pursed her lips as her heart filled with guilt and regret. Gilbert held her hand tightly and nced at the unconscious Jensen with aplicated gaze. Thinking of the scene that day, his heart was also filled with guilt.

Her heart filled with suppressed sorrow and guilt. ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± She wept out loud. Ultimately, she could not stand the guilt in her heart and ran out. ¡°Kisa!¡± Gilbert worriedly shouted out for her. He hastily ran outside to chase after her. Mia looked at Jensen longingly. She held onto Jensen¡¯s hand and said in self- mockery, ¡°I cursed that woman again. I even lectured her until she cried. If you were awake, you would have definitely scolded me. But it doesn¡¯t matter since my heart felt upset and angry for you. It seems that woman ultimately treats you with not a hint of affection.¡± ¡°Besides, setting aside the actual cause of this ident, just based on the surface- level information, it¡¯s all because of her telling Gilbert information about the warden.

Kisa ran out of the courtyard with a breath. She held onto the wall outside the yards, covering her mouth with subdued sobbing. Gilbert chased out, worried.

Yet seeing her looking so distraught now, he could not help but think more about it. He was the one who had caused the ident, after all. Did Kisa really not me him, even a little bit? Her ¡®forgiveness¡® really made him feel strange. Hearing Gilbert ask that question, Kisa slowly withheld her sorrowful emotions. She took a deep breath. When she turned around to look at Gilbert, her expression was much calmer. She spoke to him, ¡°What¡¯s there to me you for? It was an ident. No one wanted it to happen.¡± Kisa¡¯s excuse was so flimsy that it made her statement unconvincing. Gilbert lowered his gaze and did not dare to think too deeply of it. He merely said to her, ¡°It¡¯s good that you don¡¯t me me. ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go home,¡± Kisa said and held his hand voluntarily. However, Gilbert did not move. She turned her head to look at him in confusion, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Her eyes were red, and tears still hung on her face. A hint of sadness was still painted on her brows. It was so obvious that she was pretending to be calm and unconcerned. Gilbert took a deep breath, then forcefully pulled Kisa back and held her tightly in his embrace. He held the back of her head, and his deep voice boomed beside Kisa¡¯s ear, ¡°Kisa, I¡¯m serious. So you must make sure to never lie to me, never betray me, or else¡­¡± Or else what? Heh, he actually did not know what would happen after ¡®or else¡®. It would probably¡­end in blood! His voice was still gentle, but Kisa felt an inexplicable wave of chill. She looked at the vi before her deeply and stared at Jensen¡¯s room. After a long while, she spoke softly, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t lie to you!¡± When she said these words, Kisa could not help but think it was funny. A man who would act loving and toy with the feelings of others would emphasize time and again to not lie to him. He could not even do this himself but would demand her to be like this. Doesn¡¯t it seem very funny? In the J & K Film Group conference room, a voice cried out. ¡°I do not agree!¡± Shaun threw the contract form onto the table and stared coldly at Kisa. Kisa sat at the president¡¯s chair with a dull expression, ¡°I am only informing all of you and not requesting all of your opinions.¡± Shaun went berserk, ¡°By what authority? Thepany was formedboriously by my boss. By what authority can you give it to Gilbert by just saying that you want to give it to Gilbert?¡± ¡°Based on Jensen giving thispany to me. Based on my authority as the CEO of thepany,¡± Kisa replied. Although Kisa looked in and sophisticated, when she spoke harshly, she was very intimidating. Shaun red daggers at her but did not speak. The other executives did not dare to make a sound. The mood of the whole conference room had dropped to freezing point.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Kisa arranged all the data correctly and said to them, ¡°Thepetition in the market is currently fierce. Jensen also had an incident. So J & K Film Group can only survive by merging with GK Pictures.¡± ¡°Heh, what a joke. Gilbert is the murderer that hurt our boss, yet you deliberately choose to gift J & K Film Group to him.

Wouldn¡¯t that make him a cuckold?¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Kisa gave a low growl. She stood up and walked to the front of Shaun. She spoke to him in a low voice, ¡°If you want to help your boss protect these things, then listen to me.¡± ¡°Piss off. You hurt my boss!¡± In his anger, Shaun pushed her harshly. Kisa was wearing stilettos, so for a moment she could not keep her footing. Her whole body stumbled backward, and she fell. Suddenly, a powerful force held onto her back, helping her stand steady.

Kisa¡¯s sense had not returned as her body was folded into his broad and sturdy embrace. Gilbert coldly looks at Shaun, ¡°An assistant would dare to hit their CEO? From what I see, you don¡¯t wish to work here anymore. ¡°Like I care. It¡¯s better than seeing the both of you cheating bastards all day,¡± Shaun said while he mmed his work card on the conference table harshly. Gilbert immediately squinted his eyes dangerously at him. Feeling the chill emanating from his body, Kisa hurriedly shook his arm. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Don¡¯t argue with a mere assistant. If he doesn¡¯t want to work, then leave him be. It¡¯s not like we¡¯recking any talent in thispany.¡± Shaun red at Kisa with a cold smile, ¡°My boss must really be blind. He even risked his life to save such an ungrateful creature such as you.¡± t Kisa scrunched her brows and asked in confusion, ¡°Risk his life to save me? When?¡± Jensen did save her many times, but it seemed that he never once required him to endanger his life. Yet seeing Shaun¡¯s grief¨Cstricken expression and it did not seem like nonsense. But Shaun would not say anything more. He only said to her, through gritted teeth, ¡°Kisa, what you owe my boss, you will never be able to finish repaying it in this life!¡± Kisa lowered her gaze. This statement of his was the truth. She owed Jensen a lot and truly could not repay it all in this lifetime. Noticing Gilbert still there, Kisa suppressed the guilt and sadness in her heart. She spoke to Shaun in a cold voice, ¡°Most of the shares of J & K Film Group I have transferred to Mr. Kooper. If you still want to stay in thispany, then you¡¯d better not have any objections. If you¡­¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Kisa had yet to finish her sentence before Shaun suddenly gave a cold chuckle, ¡°Thank you for the charity from GK Pictures CEO¡¯s wife.

Kisa stared intensely at his silhouette, and her hands by her side clenched slightly. ¡®As long as I can have my vengeance, it doesn¡¯t matter even if everyone else misunderstands.¡® After Shaun left, two other executives followed after him. ¡± As for the people who stayed, Gilbert still let them keep their original positions. Regarding the subsequent affairs of J & K Film Group into GK Pictures, Gilbert also ordered Davian to handle them. From now on, the name of J & K Film Group would never be in the entertainment business anymore. Thinking of Jensen¡¯s gentle expression when he initially gifted thepany to her, she could not stop feeling guilty, as if her heart was bleeding. Back then, Jensen had given her thispany so that she could go up against Gilbert. Instead, she was now giving that samepany to Gilbert. Just thinking about it, it was painfully funny and ironic. Back at Kisa¡¯s ce, her mood still did not improve. However, when she faced Gilbert, she still forced out an expression of joy and happiness She would promptly lean into Gilbert¡¯s embrace and deliberately say tender words of love. She did not know how long she had before this man would lose interest in her body, so she had to carry out her n before it was toote. Seeing the woman in his arms not speak for a long time, Gilbert caressed her smooth, soft hair and asked softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Exhausted?¡± Kisa shook her head, ¡°I was just thinking that I really have to go to the production set tomorrow.¡± These few days, she was constantly busy with the affairs of thepany merger. She had skipped work for quite a few days. Based on what Jolina said, Sharon was cursing her at the studio daily.

Gilbert looked at her, feeling sorry, ¡°Since you¡¯re back to being the wife of the CEO of GK Pictures, you don¡¯t have to do filming anymore.¡± Kisa shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s just what I said before.

Suddenly, Kisa remembered something and hurriedly pushed the man away. ¡°Wait, wait, wait,¡± she sat up and said. ¡°What are we waiting for?¡± Gilbert replied with a hoarse voice, his dark eyes locked on Kisa. He then saw the woman reaching for the drawer of the coffee table. More than half of her body was still under him; she struggled to stretch her hand out. She held onto the drawer handle and opened it with great effort. Kisa reached into the drawer and pulled out a small white see¨Cthrough bag. With only a nce, Gilbert could already see its contents clearly. He could not help but frown. ¡°You want me to put this on?¡± he asked. Kisa handed him an unopened box of condoms. ¡°You have to put it on every time we do it in the future, understood?¡± Gilbert was a little unhappy. ¡°But I don¡¯t want to,¡± he said in a muffled voice. Kisa sneered to herself when she heard that. ¡®Well, well, well. Just as expected¨Cmen don¡¯t prefer using condoms. I guess I have to get some birth control pills, then. After all, I cannot be pregnant with his child.¡® She put away the condom and rubbed the back of her neck. ¡°That¡¯s fine. I can just take some birth control pillster,¡± she said with a smile.

She hurriedly got up and rushed into his arms with no shame. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± She asked while she ran her fingers down his chest. Gilbert was angry that Kisa did not want to have his baby. ¡®Although we already have two lovely children, it¡¯s not enough! It doesn¡¯t matter how many more there¡¯ll be; I¡¯ll love them as long as they¡¯re her children. But it¡¯s clear that she doesn¡¯t want to bear my children.

However, with so many bad incidents happening, he felt increasingly insecure about doing so. Moreover, Kisa¡¯s sudden change in attitude was also a problem. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Although he was happy that she was being sweet and gentle to him, he was still afraid that all of it was just an illusion. Now, seeing that she was not willing to have a baby with him, he was even more afraid to talk to her about Andrew and Ada. ¡®Oh, forget it. I¡¯ll just wait and tell her after everything is settled,¡± he thought. Gilbert was mad at the woman in his arms, but he did not want to push her away. Kisa noticed that he had not spoken for a long time. Thus, she grabbed his shoulders to push herself up a little and kissed him on the lips. There was a touch of ttery in her kiss. || ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to be mad. If you don¡¯t like it, then we won¡¯t use it, okay?¡± she said as she picked up the box of condoms, preparing to get rid of them. Suddenly, the man grabbed her wrist. He looked into her eyes and suppressed his anger as he asked, ¡°You¡¯re going to take birth control if we don¡¯t use a condom, right? ¡°Well, yeah. I mean, what if I get pregnant?¡± ¡°Then give birth to the baby!¡± Gilbert said angrily. ¡°What?! Do you think I, Gilbert, can¡¯t afford to raise a child?!¡± Kisa was startled. Then, she suddenly remembered how excited she had been for their baby in the past and how cruel Gilbert was to say that he wanted an abortion. She also could not help but think of her child, who had died in the fire in the end. ¡®Hah. How could I trust him now?¡± She thought. She climbed up to his shoulders and kissed his earlobes as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t you already have two children?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 945 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 945 Chapter 945 i Only Like Our Children Gilbert was a little ufortable with Kisa teasing him. He clenched his hands tightly, staring intensely at her. He never knew that she was so good at flirting, which awakened sexual urges in him. He grabbed her by the shoulders, and his hands tightened. His grip then loosened and tightened, over and over. He tried to push her away several times but could not bear it. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. ¡°Aren¡¯t two children enough? How many more do you want?¡± The woman deliberately whispered in his ear. ¡°Well, I can afford it. And there¡¯s no such thing as having too many children. Why can¡¯t I have more?¡± he said, gritting his teeth and grabbing her slender waist. Suddenly, Kisaughed seductively, ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell that you liked having children.¡± Although there was a smile on her face, cold irony filled her heart. ¡®He¡¯s so rich that he doesn¡¯t mind having more children, but he could not tolerate the child in my womb in the past. I will never conceive a child with him ever again,¡® she thought. Gilbert¡¯s whole body tensed up as Kisa teased him. He held the woman tightly in his arms and said with a deep voice into her ears, ¡°I don¡¯t just go around liking children. I only like our children.¡± Gilbert could alwayse up with such sweet and moving words. However, Kisa was unfazed by it. With a flirtatious smile on her face, she said, ¡°But I don¡¯t want to have a baby with you.¡± Gilbert¡¯s anger rose again. ¡®I knew it. She doesn¡¯t want to bear my child. No wonder she always threatened me with a child. Is it because she is cold and ruthless by nature, or does she simply not like me enough to have a child with me?¡® Wild guesses and spections started to pop up in Gilbert¡¯s mind. In the end, he pushed Kisa away. He suppressed the sexual urges he had and growled at her, ¡°Why don¡¯t you want to bear my child? You¡¯re literally my wife. Whose child are you going to give birth to if not mine? Or do you feel that it¡¯s embarrassing for you to have a baby with me?¡± The man was raging. Kisa slowly sat on the sofa. She lowered her head and the coyness she had earlier changed into depression. ¡°You already have two children. Why would you want another child with me?¡± Gilbert was furious. He was about to say something when the woman suddenly continued, ¡°I am not only your wife. I am also a public figure. My image and my private life are in the eyes of the media all the time. Let¡¯s say I get pregnant with your child. What would I do if you suddenly asked me for an abortion? I would be aughingstock to the people and the media.¡± ¡°What are you thinking about all day long? How could I ever ask you to abort a baby?¡± Gilbert was dumbfounded by her words, his heart full of anger. ¡®Why does she always think I¡¯m cruel and ruthless?¡® Kisa sneered when she heard his words. ¡®What does he mean by he would never ask me to abort my baby? Didn¡¯t he do that back then? I still remember every word that came out of his mouth when it happened to this day.¡® Kisa kept her head down with her hands folded on her knees, like a child who had done something wrong. ¡°Besides, abortions are harmful to the body, and my health is already in bad shape. I still want to live a few more years.¡± Gilbert originally wanted to argue with Kisa about the child, but after hearing herst sentence, he suddenly stopped talking. ¡®It¡¯s true; she is not in good health. Pregnancy and childbirth can be harmful to the body,¡® he thought. However, he was still mad. He felt sorry for Kisa and was reluctant to let her body get hurt because of childbirth, but her not wanting to give birth to his child was a whole other matter. At that moment, the insecurities he felt grew more and more intense. Kisa tried to push herself onto him again, but he subconsciously pushed her away. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 946 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 946 Chapter 946 Her Body Kisa was caught off guard for a moment and was pushed to the ground by Gilbert. He looked at her and saw that there were tears in her eyes. The corner of her lips curled upwards due to self¨Cmockery. ¡°I see. You¡¯ve started to detest me in just a few days. I guess I was being too cheap. I knew you didn¡¯t like me, but I still tried to get you back through sex.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like that¡­¡± Gilbert stared at Kisa helplessly. For a moment, he was angry and did not know how to calmly talk to her about it anymore. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. ¡®This woman has really changed these past few days; her words had be rather weird. She is always trying to figure out all kinds of malicious conjectures about me.¡® he thought. ¡°I¡¯ll go back to the Kooper residence tonight so you can get some rest,¡± he sighed softly and said in a low voice to the woman who was still sitting on the ground. He could feel the awkward tension between them. He was scared that they would start to argue more and more if they stayed together in the same room. He was also afraid that Kisa would overthink the situation. ¡®Every time she overthinks, I be a heinous viin in her eyes,¡¯ he thought. The woman did not speak. Instead, she just looked up at him. There were tears in her eyes but a smile on her face, which was a rather pitiful sight. Gilbert helped her up and put her on the sofa. He stroked her long soft hair and said, ¡°Remember to rest up. I¡¯ll take you to the Kooper residence in a few days.¡± After finishing speaking, Gilbert kissed Kisa on the lips, straightened up, and turned around to walk out. Kisa stared intensely at his back. ¡°Gilbert, how long do you think you¡¯ll be interested in my body?¡± she asked after a long time. Gilbert froze. He clenched his fists and turned to look at her with disappointment.¡± Do you think I¡¯m only with you for your body?¡± ¡°What other reason would there be? I know you don¡¯t like me,¡± Kisaughed. Gilbert took a deep breath and did not try to exin much. Instead, he said in a soft voice, ¡°You should get some rest.¡± After that, he left without looking back. As soon as he left, Kisa¡¯s facial expression turned calm. Her eyes became cold and indifferent. ¡®If he doesn¡¯t just want me for my body, then what does he want? Is he still trying to use me to get back at Jensen? There¡¯s no way he likes me for who I am.¡® After Gilbert came out of the apartment, he did not leave. The sky was dark. Gilbert Chapter 946 Her Body leaned against the front of the car and lit up a cigarette, annoyed. He looked up at the building where Kisa was and got increasingly frustrated. When she suddenly showed him affection this time, he had told himself to cherish her and treat her well. ¡®I told myself not to think about her strange behavior; that as long as she stayed by my side, I wouldn¡¯t care about anything else. But I guess I was wrong. Turns out I still care. I still care whether her affection for me is real. We were fine before this; we were happy. Everything was fine, but I had to go and care about her sincerity toward me.¡® The more you care about, the more conflicted you be. In the end, Gilbert was the one who suffered the most. He understood this concept behind everything, but he could not control himself. He tugged on his tie irritably and stared at the window of the woman¡¯s apartment. No matter what Gilbert did or how good he was to her, Kisa never believed that he meant it; this was what made him completely powerless. Kisa leaned against the window, quietly looking at the person outside her apartment. The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, and a smug expression appeared across her face. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 947 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 947 Chapter 947 Show Off Kisa thought that Gilbert had gotten mad and left. She was worrying about how to coax him, but it turned out that he was still reluctant to part with this game of love. She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold. The next day, Kisa went to the set early in the morning. When she woke up, she sent Gilbert a good morning text However, the man did not reply to her message even after she got onto the set. ¡®I don¡¯t know if he¡¯s mad at me or if he¡¯s just ignoring me on purpose. Has he lost interest in me? Has he lost patience with me?¡¯ Kisa did not think much about it. Since Gilbert did not directly leave the vicinity of her apartmentst night, it showed that he still wanted to continue this rtionship with her. ¡°Someone here thinks that just because she is the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO, she can be absent from work, causing the filming of our show to be postponed again and again. She has nothing to be afraid of as the CEO¡¯s wife. However, our hard work cannot be overlooked.¡± Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. ¡°Right?

We¡¯re all working hard in this entertainment industry so that we can get famous, but she¡¯s out here wasting everybody¡¯s time.¡± ¡°Yeah. I don¡¯t even have time to film for any other drama series because of this show. As soon as Kisa arrived on the set, she saw Sharon speaking ill of her with some of the cast members. She pursed her lips and walked over to them slowly. Interestingly, as soon as she was there, the group fell silent. Everyone looked at her in respect. Only Sharon was full of dissatisfaction. ¡°Yo, if it isn¡¯t the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO. Tsk, you¡¯ve married into wealth. What are you doing here? Are you trying to show off?¡± Sharon¡¯s tone was sour. Kisa pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s exactly why I¡¯m here,¡± she said. ¡°You!¡± Lea quickly dragged a chair over, and Kisa slowly sat in it as she looked up and stared at Sharon contemptuously. ¡°I remember you failing numerous times trying to get into the Kooper family. Naturally, I want to show it off in front of you.¡± ¡°Pfft-!¡± There was a burst of muffledughter. Sharon¡¯s face instantly flushed with anger as she red fiercely at everyone around her. Finally, her gaze fell onto Kisa. ¡°You are happily in love with Gilbert now. But what about Jensen? Gilbert yed him just like that. Jensen used to care for you. How could you have the nerve to betray him and run into Gilbert¡¯s open arms? Do you not feel guilty at all, Kisa?¡± Kisa¡¯s heart tightened when she heard that, but she said, ¡°Why should I feel guilty? What happened to Jensen was an ident. There¡¯s no use pointing fingers.¡± Kisa was sorry for what happened to Jensen. Even if she should feel every ounce of guilt, Sharon of all people had no right to lecture her about it. Sharon was unhappy that she did not bring Kisa down with her words. Just as she was about to say something else, Kisa had already gotten up and walked toward Jolina, not caring about what Sharon had to say. ¡°Kisa, are you alright?¡± Jolina looked at her worriedly and asked. She had seen what happened at Hillsby that day. She had also witnessed the tense situation between Kisa and Gilbert at the hospital. ¡®I can¡¯t believe they have reconciled and are now a legitimate couple!¡¯ she thought. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m good, actually,¡± Kisa replied with a smile. As she said that, she dragged Jolina to a remote corner on set.

Kisa looked around and made sure that there was no one around. ¡°I was sad about what happened with Jensen that day, so I forgot to tell you, do not tell anyone that we¡¯re going to Hillsby.¡± Although Jolina did not understand why Kisa was telling her this, she nodded heavily and did not ask any more questions. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Kisa. I won¡¯t tell a soul. But¡­¡± Jolina frowned. ¡°I¡¯m scared that Peter might.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think he would. He doesn¡¯t seem like the type to spread the word around.¡± Peter made a good impression on Kisa because of the incident in Hillsby. Moreover, he had volunteered to donate his blood to Jensen. After work was over in the evening, Kisa picked up her phone and looked at it. Gilbert still did not text her back, nor did he call her. She pursed her lips and smiled as she dialed a number. At the office of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO, Davian had sorted out several important documents and ced them in front of Gilbert. ¡°Mr. Kooper, here is our contract with the Webb Group. As for what¡¯s going on at the Webb Group-¡± Davian¡¯s cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting his report to Gilbert. ¡°Sorry, Mr. Kooper. I¡¯ll have to take this call.¡± After saying that, Davian took out his phone from his pocket while Gilbert leaned over the desk to sign the contract, paying no attention to Davian. Davian thought that it was Felicity who was calling. The woman had been pestering him every now and then since the day they had together. Feeling a little embarrassed, he hesitated to answer the call. However, he was stunned when he caught a glimpse of Kisa¡¯s name on the screen. He looked over at Gilbert. Initially, he wanted to ask Gilbert why his wife was calling him, but after thinking about it, he decided that it was better not to ask. After all, Gilbert¡¯s phone was on. ¡®She must want something from me since she¡¯s not directly calling Mr. Kooper,¡¯ he thought. Davian quickly picked up the call before it stopped ringing. Gilbert looked up and nced at him suspiciously. He then lowered his head and dealt with the documents in front of him. ¡°Is Gilbert at thepany, or is he at home?¡± Kisa asked as soon as the call was connected. Davian was puzzled but answered truthfully, ¡°He¡¯s at thepany.¡± ¡°Okay. Go to a ce where he can¡¯t hear you.¡± Davian was getting suspicious of Kisa¡¯s call. ¡°But Mrs. Kooper-¡± ¡°Shh! Don¡¯t let him hear you. Listen to me; go and find a ce where he can¡¯t hear you.¡± Although Davian¡¯s head was full of question marks, he did as he was told. ¡°I¡¯ll take this call outside, Mr. Kooper.¡± ¡°Mmkay,¡± Gilbert replied with his head down. But when Davian went out of the room, Gilbert frowned. ¡®This guy has been rather mysterious since he got together with that woman,¡¯ he thought. ¡°What is going on, Mrs. Kooper? Why aren¡¯t you calling Mr. Kooper directly if you¡¯re looking for him?¡± ¡°Are you guys busy today? Do you need to work overtime?¡± ¡°We¡¯re super busy here, I have to work overtime!¡± Davian replied. ¡°Well then, find an excuse to leave work early, and don¡¯t tell him that I called you.¡± ¡°What are you up to, Mrs. Kooper?

Davian finally dawdled to the desk. Gilbert said to him without raising his head, ¡°Well, carry on with the remaining report.¡± ¡°Huh? Actually, there¡¯s nothing important. It¡¯s just that the CEO of Webb Group wants to meet you in person to talk about the coboration.¡± ¡°Webb Group?¡± Gilbert looked up at him. ¡°Is that Peter¡¯s family business?¡± ¡°Yes, but there¡¯s no rush. Mr. Webb said you could meet him anytime. However, the head of the Mullen family in Athadale is about to celebrate his birthday, and he invited you. You can join it if you have the time. But, he also invited many actresses, including¡­ Ma¡¯am.¡± Gilbert raised his eyebrows and tly said, ¡°Alright, I got it. Both matters aren¡¯t in a hurry. You can check the scheduleter.

So¡­ can I get off work early?¡± ¡°Something urgent?¡± Gilbert leaned back and confusedly asked, ¡°What¡¯s so urgent?¡± Davian was in trouble. He tried his best to lie. ¡°Well¡­ Felicity¡­¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Gilbert eximed. ¡°You have a girlfriend now. You¡¯re not as free as before. She called you to go back with her just now, right?¡± ¡°No! Mr. Kooper, she¡¯s not my girlfriend. S-She¡­¡± Davian looked embarrassed. Gilbert stared at him leisurely. ¡°What? You don¡¯t like her?¡± Suddenly, he was a bit frustrated after he said that. ¡°I guess I¡¯m a bad matchmaker. I thought the requirements for you two to date were a match. That¡¯s why I became a matchmaker for you, but I didn¡¯t expect that I bothered your private affairs.¡± ¡°No, Mr. Kooper. You did fine. But¡­ I don¡¯t think I ever told you the type of woman I like, right?¡± ¡®The requirements for us to date were a match? Did Mr. Kooper choose it based on his preferences?¡¯ Davian ndered secretly in his heart. Gilbert then stared at him amusedly. ¡°Your nose almost bled when you first met her in Raworth. Don¡¯t you like this type of woman?¡± Davian¡¯s face turned red instantly. ¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous, Mr. Kooper. When did my nose ever bleed?¡± ¡°Not only was your nose about to bleed, but you were also looking at her with desire.¡± ¡°Gosh! Mr. Kooper, you¡­¡± ¡°Well, Felicity¡¯s figure is as good as Mia¡¯s. You should be back with her.¡± Davian blushed and wanted to say something, but he shut up and left quickly when he thought of what Kisa had told him. Gilbert shook his head amusingly behind Davian. ¡®He looks dull. No wonder he couldn¡¯t get a girlfriend after being single for so many years.¡¯ Gilbert thought of Kisa in his mind inadvertently. He nced at the phone beside him subconsciously, but he did nothing and turned his focus back to his work. ¡®We quarreled badlyst night. I should let us both calm down for a while.¡¯ Meanwhile, Davian ran into Kisa when he came out of GK International Building. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 950 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 950 Chapter 950 Enjoy Getting out of the car with a takeout in one hand, Kisa happened to bump into Davian, with an abnormally red face at a nce. She asked, ¡°Why is your face so red, Davian?¡± Davian was depressed. He was so embarrassed and ashamed that Gilbert¡¯s discerning eyes could even see through Davian¡¯s thoughts, specifically his affection for Mia. Davian pped his cheeks and glumly said, ¡°It¡¯s so embarrassing. I was scolded by Mr. Kooper.¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Kisa snickered, trying to suppress herughter. She then asked Davian, ¡°Why did he scold you? Is it because you requested an earlier leave?¡± ¡°Yes, and it¡¯s all your fault!¡± Davian nced at her snappishly. Kisa shook her head and said, ¡°Look at how ungrateful you sound right now. You should appreciate my trying to let you take an early leave of absence just so you can spend some quality time with your girlfriend. If at all, you should me Mr. Kooper for being unreasonable. He introduced a girl to you yet did not let you take leave to enjoy some time with her.¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am!¡± Davian blushed an even deeper red. ¡®Why does Ma¡¯am have a sharper tongue than Mr. Kooper? Enjoy? What nonsense are they thinking in their mind?¡¯ Davian shook his head speechlessly. He ignored Kisa, got into the car, and left. Kisa felt a little amused as she looked at the quickly departing car, ¡®I didn¡¯t expect Davian to still be an innocent man. He already blushed only by saying a few pickup lines. Why didn¡¯t I notice this before? He was such a tease when it came to others. Yet when it was his turn, he became such a shy person. It¡¯s so funny.¡¯ It was already eight o¡¯clock in the evening. It waspletely dark, and the road lit up with neon lights. There was no one in therge GK International Building save for a few security guards watching over the entrances. Kisa took the elevator and went directly to the CEO¡¯s office. The office outside the CEO¡¯s office was still brightly lit, but no one was in sight. A faint sound of papers being flipped from the CEO¡¯s office was all that could be heard. Kisa looked at the food in her hand and walked over toward the sound after a while. Upon reaching the CEO¡¯s office entrance, she immediately put on a harmless smile. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to leave on time? Why are you back again?¡± Gilbert said without raising his head, hearing the sound of the opening door. Gilbert wore a clean white shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, revealing his muscr forearms. Looking serious, he was leaning over the desk and writing something with a pen. Kisa stared at Gilbert for some time, ¡®Sometimes I really have to admit that this man is very charming in terms of appearance, especially when he¡¯s working hard.¡¯ Gilbert could not help but look up as he received no response from Kisa. A sense of joy instantly filled his heart when he saw Kisa. But his face remained calm without any changes in expression. Maintaining her smiling facade as she came in, Kisa walked over with the takeaway.¡± Are you still busy?¡± Gilbert was pleasantly surprised but also full of doubts and worries when she appeared in front of him with a smiling face.

He put down his pen, pinched his brows, and asked her, ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I came to visit you,¡± Kisa leaned against the edge of the table and looked at him with a smile as if she hadpletely forgotten about their quarrel yesterday. She even opened the packing and served those dishes to him tenderly. Gilbert could not keep his face straight while facing her smiling face and ttery. He looked at the steaming food in front of him and asked her, ¡°Have you eaten?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t. I¡¯ll lose my appetite eating alone. I¡¯d rather want to have dinner with you.¡± Gilbert was happy with Kisa¡¯s response, but the worry and uneasiness in his heart could never dissipate. He picked up a bowl of food and said, ¡°Don¡¯t eat here. There are too many documents on the table. Let¡¯s eat at the coffee table.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Kisa nodded happily and helped Gilbert move the dishes to the coffee table. Unsure if it was the oily surface or the heat, a bowl of food identally slipped from Kisa¡¯s hands and spilled onto the desk, staining several documents and Kisa herself. Gilbert¡¯s face darkened as he hurriedly pushed Kisa aside to wipe the oil on the document with tissues. Kisa staggered from being pushed by him. She looked at his anxious look with cold eyes but remained silent. No matter hard Gilbert tried, the oil on the document could not be wiped off. The white paper was full of oil residue, somewhat blurring the writing. Gilbert held his head as a hint of irritability appeared between his brows. Kisa took out a few pieces of tissues to wipe the oil on the table. She looked at Gilbert and said anxiously, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to. What should we do now? Are those documents crucial?¡± Gilbert did not respond but ced his hands on the table¡¯s edge, silently gazing at the stained documents. Kisa pursed her lips. As she was about to wipe the stained documents after wiping the table, Gilbert suddenly grabbed her wrist, clearly holding back his anger.¡± Enough. Stop wiping.¡± Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Kisa stared at Gilbert and was about to tear up, ¡°Sorry, Gilbert. It¡¯s all my fault. What should I do now? I shouldn¡¯t have disturbed your work. I¡­¡± ¡°Enough. It¡¯s alright, Gilbert tly interrupted her as his eyes fell on her oily hands and clothes. He sighed, ¡°There is a bathroom inside. Clean yourself up.¡± ¡°But those documents¡­.* ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll have Davian draft it again and get the other party¡¯s signatureter,¡± Gilbert said tly. Fatigue was clearly evident in his voice. Kisa lowered her eyes, not saying more, and just went silently to the bathroom. The anxiety and guilt on Kisa¡¯s face instantly disappeared as soon as she entered the bathroom. Instead, it was reced with a smirk, as if she was trying to mock herself or that man. Kisa slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes in front of the mirror. Her acting skills had clearly reached a new height for being able to cry at her own will, feeling relieved whenever she saw Gilbert putting on an anxious or irritable expression. Afterthering up her hands, Kisa tried to turn the faucet when it suddenly fell straight off.

However, the st of water was so huge that it covered her entire body with water instantly. A series of hasty footsteps were heard before Gilbert soon appeared at the door. When he saw the scene in the bathroom, a tinge of anger and speechlessness. shed across his face, ¡°Kisa, you¡­¡± Hurriedly taking off his shirt as he spoke, Gilbert then wound the broken faucet with a swift motion. Kisa wiped the water off her face and hurriedly exined, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean it. I only twisted it lightly, but the faucet already fell off. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on. I¡­..¡± ¡°Enough. There¡¯s a new faucet in the cab. Go and look for it. The tools should be there too,¡± replied Gilbert. ¡°You even know how to fix this?¡± Kisa was a little surprised at Gilbert. No matter how she looks at him, he doesn¡¯t look like the kind of person to be able to fix things. Gilbert nced at Kisa angrily, ¡°I know how to fix lightbulbs too. Now hurry up and stop talking nonsense!¡± The water outlet may have been clogged with a shirt, but the water was still leaking out continuously. By now, the washbasin and the bathroom floor were filled with water. Not daring to dy any further, Kisa hunched down and immediately rummaged through the cab. After a while, she found a brand-new faucet and a canvas bag. Kisa opened it and took a look. There were really some tools for repairing water pipes and faucets. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect these things to be kept in the cab at all times,¡± Kisa eximed as she immediately handed him the new faucet and repair tools. Gilbert signaled for Kisa to put the things aside and told her, ¡°Go and turn off the main water valve for this floor only.¡± Kisa was stunned instantly, ¡°Where is the water valve?¡± ¡°It¡¯s at¡­ Well, forget it. I¡¯ll turn it off. Come over here and block this water outlet.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kisa hurried over and imitated how tightly Gilbert wrapped the shirt around the water outlet as he quickly went out. After a while, Kisa noticed the flow of water from the outlet became gradually smaller, and finally stopped. She then carefully removed the shirt, feeling relieved to see the water supply was halted. Gilbert came back just when she was leaning on the sink, trying the wring off excess water from the corner of her clothes. Gilbert nced at her and tly said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask Davian to bring over some clothester. Get some rest outside.¡± Kisa remained where she was, but Gilbert ignored her. He took the tool to twist off the remaining half of the old faucet, removing them with his strength with a few tries. Immediately after, he reced it with a brand-new faucet, only to rush out to reopen the main valve for that floor. Indeed, water shortly came out of the new faucet. The oil and sticky handwash were still in the palm of Kisa¡¯s hand. She leaned over and washed her hands. Gilbert was back just after she finished washing her hands, ¡°How? Is the faucet leaking?¡± Kisa looked at it carefully. She shook her head after a long while and said, ¡°No. You fixed it well.¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and said nothing. He just picked up the spoiled shirt and threw it into the trash can, not sparing a look at Kisa, and went out right after washing his hands. Kisa bit her lips, only to follow him out after hesitating for a while. Gilbert leaned on the couch with a tired look on his face. Without his shirt, his upper body was naked, revealing his perfectly strong and sleek muscl¨¦s. There were faint marks of her scratching on his chest when they were making love. It was indistinct yet sexy. Kisa stared at Gilbert for a while, then walked to the trash can.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 953 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 953 Chapter 953 Delicate Women¡¯s Tears Kisa was drenched. Her clothes clung to her body, making her feel ufortable. She crouched in front of the trash can, then lifted her clothes and wrung them. She carefully moved the few dishes on the desk to the coffee table after getting her clothes dry. Gilbert leaned on the back of the couch and kept his eyes closed. He did not look at her or say a word. Kisa said softly to him after she finished moving the dishes, ¡°Gilbert, it¡¯s time to eat.¡± The man did not respond for a long time. Kisa thought he was asleep. Unexpectedly, Gilbert suddenly said tly, ¡°You can have it. I¡¯m not hungry.¡± There was a trace of fatigue in his voice and also an indifference or anger, which was hard to tell. Kisa pursed her lips and silently sat on the chair beside her. She was drenched, making it hard to sit on the couch. The CEO¡¯s office was quiet, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.. Gilbert frowned. He could not help but open his eyes to see the woman sitting quietly opposite him with her head down as if she were a child who had done something wrong. ¡°You haven¡¯t taken your dinner yet, right? Quickly have your dinner then.¡± Kisa raised her eyes immediately when hearing his tone. But her eye sockets were flushed with water vapor. Gilbert sighed helplessly, ¡®She cries whenever she wants to, as if she¡¯s made of water, and I have yet to say anything harsh to her.¡¯ ¡°Gilbert, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t spill the dishes on your document or break the faucet on purpose. I know I¡¯m useless and can¡¯t do anything right. I¡¯ll never hastily look for you again,¡± Kisa¡¯s tears kept falling as she said. ¡®In the past, Sara and Sharon always used this trick on this man. They pretended to be harmless and pitiful to gain his sympathy and pity. I didn¡¯t expect I¡¯ll do this too. I feel ironic thinking about it. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s useful for me to use this trick in front of him.¡¯ Gilbert felt bad when looking at her crying and guilty face. He sighed, got up, and walked to her, ¡°Alright, stop crying. I don¡¯t me you.¡± ¡°But I me myself.¡± Kisa was crying in front of him, but she could not stop sighing in her heart, ¡®This trick is really useful. He doesn¡¯t me me anymore. No wonder he didn¡¯t me Sharon much, even if she had done so many bad things. Tsk! Men have no resistance toward delicate women¡¯s tears.¡¯ Gilbert sat beside her as he broke the chopsticks in two and put a bowl of rice in front of her, ¡°Okay, stop crying. Let¡¯s eat. The food is turning cold.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t eat if you don¡¯t,¡± Kisa said stubbornly. The man smiled helplessly, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll eat.¡± He took another bowl of rice and put it in N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content. front of him as he said. Seeing his smiling face, Kisa suddenly nted a kiss on Gilbert¡¯s cheek and happily said, ¡°Gilbert, you¡¯re so nice. You didn¡¯t me me even if I did something wrong.¡± Gilbert¡¯s hand, still with food, paused for a moment. He looked at her, ¡°It depends on what it is. I won¡¯t forgive you if it¡¯s a serious matter.¡± ¡°For example?¡± Kisa asked casually while eating. Gilbert held the fork, and his eyes suddenly darkened somewhat. ¡°For example¡­ You cheating on me.¡± Kisa¡¯s figure froze. She smiled after a while, ¡°You emphasize this to me daily. Are you that afraid that I¡¯ll deceive you?¡± She deliberately leaned in front of him and stared into his eyes without blinking when she asked this question. The woman¡¯s approach enabled him to clearly see the scenery in her cor and her body wrapped in wet clothes. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 954 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 954 Chapter 954 She Flirted With Him His gaze immediately turned dark and sparked with desire. Suddenly feeling a little thirsty, Gilbert grabbed the water from the coffee table, drank it, and said to her, ¡± That¡¯s right. I¡¯m scared.¡± Kisa was bewildered. Perhaps Gilbert admitting his fear was too much of a contrast to his usual arrogant attitude. Suppressing her bewilderment, Kisa crept closer to Gilbert, pressing most of her body against his chest. She had her hands around his neck and smiled sweetly at him, ¡°You¡¯ve always been so good to me. How would I even have the heart to lie to you? Speaking of which, I should be the one who¡¯s scared that you don¡¯t want me anymore.¡± Kisa smiled lovingly at Gilbert as her warm breath assaulted Gilbert¡¯s neck. Kisa¡¯s action was undoubtedly setting Gilbert on fire, easily arousing the impulse that he had barely suppressed. Oftentimes, Gilbert felt powerless toward the woman¡¯s advances. He was still mad at her as she effortlessly aroused his lust. Gilbert scolded himself for being useless ¡®How long have I not touched a woman to be craving like this? Heavens knows that I don¡¯tck women, yet I only have feelings for her.¡¯ N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content. Kisa yfully kissed Gilbert¡¯s neck twice, but she failed to notice his increasingly lustful eyes. ¡°Remember to inform me If you get sick and tired of me one day,¡± Kisaughed as she tried to back away. Gilbert suddenly grabbed the back of Kisa¡¯s waist, and with slight force, her drenched body was now tightly pressed against his chest. Kisa was astonished as her alluring smile was quickly reced with panic. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Gilbert groaned hoarsely, ¡°Do you think you can leave so easily after making me aroused?¡± ¡°Wait, no. I mean¡­ Aren¡¯t you still mad at me?¡± Kisa slurred her words in shock. She was flirting with him because she feared he had lost interest in her body, throwing caution to the wind and flirting with him after seeing that he was still angry with her. Kisa didn¡¯t expect Gilbert to be in the mood for this. ¡®B- But we¡¯re in his office! How could he possibly think of that?¡¯ Many thoughts shed through her mind. Gilbert hugged and kissed her neck passionately, as if he had been holding back for a long time, waiting for a release. He ripped off her wet shirt. When Gilbert pinned her down on the couch, Kisa had no idea if her body was hot or chilly. She hurriedly reached out her hand against his strong and warm chest. ¡°We can¡¯t do this. We¡¯re in the office.¡± Kisa felt insecure and strange about this ce, as if many people were looking at her. She wore a white silk shirt with a pair of jeans today. Her white shirt had turned almost transparent after it was drenched with water. Gilbert fixated gaze on her got more intense as time went on. As though not hearing her speak, his hands went straight to unbuttoning her shirt. Kisa¡¯s brows knitted in a frown, and grabbed his hand. ¡°Gilbert. Not here. What if someone walks in on us?¡± Gilbert easily escaped her grasp and fully unbuttoned her shirt. Looking at her white skin, his eyes went dark as his voice became breathy, ¡°There¡¯s no one who wille in at this time. Besides, who would dare to enter my office without my permission?¡± Just as the man was talking in a deep and domineering voice, Davian¡¯s impetuous voice came from the door, ¡°Mr. Kooper, the clothes are here.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 955 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 955 Chapter 955 Missed the Show Kisa felt like she could die embarrassed. Not knowing how she mustered the strength, she pushed Gilbert off of her and turned around, still blushing heavily; leaving her bare back for Davian, at the door, to deeply fantasize about. Davian was astonished as he stood at the door with a bag of clothes in his hands, conflicted about entering the office. Gilbert, still looking like a mess after Kisa pushed him off the couch, stood up with a gloomy face, and gazed coldly at Davian, still at the door. Davian shuddered in fear and softly disputed. ¡°D-didn¡¯t you tell me to send the clothes over to you?¡± ¡°I did tell you to send the clothes, but I didn¡¯t say you coulde in without knocking! Gilbert held back his anger and growled gloomily. Davian felt that he was innocent upon hearing his growl. He put on a long face and softly said,¡± How am I supposed to knock on your door when it¡¯s not even closed.¡± ¡°Davian, are you done? What¡¯s taking you so long to send clothes?¡± A woman¡¯s enchanting voice suddenly sounded, followed by the sound of her heels. ¡®There was someone else who came with Davian!¡¯ Kisa bit her lower lips, feeling ashamed. She arched her back on the couch, trying to disappear behind it so that they could not see her. ¡°Woah, what did I miss?¡± As soon as Felicity walked to the door, she saw a woman as wet as a drowned rat lying down on the couch. The woman¡¯s back was almost see- through under her transparent shirt, causing everyone¡¯s imaginations to run wild. Besides that, the man beside the couch was half-naked. His chest had several love bites. ¡®Woah, this is really an erotic scene,¡¯ Felicity thought. Yet the scene in Felicity¡¯s head was way more sensual than the scene before her eyes. Gilbert¡¯s face darkened when he saw the woman at the door watching on. He gave Davian a sinister re. ¡°Why did you bring her when you¡¯re sending me clothes?¡± ¡°N-No,¡± Davian shook his head. ¡°I didn¡¯t bring her. She was the one who tagged along with me. I-¡± ¡°Oh my, Davian. Do you have no shame? How could you ignore me once you¡¯re done with my body? Weren¡¯t we making out just now? You were the one who said you didn¡¯t want to leave me and brought me along when you sent the clothes. You even mentioned we¡¯re going somewhere romantic to continue after you¡¯re done. Why are you changing your version of the story, you scum!¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content. ¡°Why you! What nonsense are you spouting!¡± said Davian, turning red. ¡°You said you want to tag along because you¡¯re hungry¡­¡± ¡± t ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Gilbert was annoyed as they interrupted him. He waved his hand at the duo, still at the door, causing a scene. ¡°Go on, get lost!¡± Felicity did not want to leave and said in high spirits, ¡°Who is that lying down on the couch? From the looks of her back, she seems pretty nice. Let me take a look at her face!¡± Gilbert¡¯s face immediately darkened. Davian was startled and hurriedly pulled Felicity, who had taken a few steps into the office. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s leave Mr. Kooper and Mrs. Kooper alone.¡± ¡°Gee, I just want to have a look.¡± ¡°What is there to look at? Let¡¯s go!¡± Davian quickly dragged Felicity out and put the bag of clothes at the door. He then said to Gilbert carefully, ¡°Mr. Kooper. I¡¯ve put the clothes over here. Remember to take themter, okay?¡± ¡°Scoot!¡± Davian dared not stay long as he pulled Felicity before running away in a hurry. Though they were far away, one could still hear Felicity¡¯s loud teasing. Gilbert¡¯s face clouded with gloom, and he was silent from anger. He gritted his teeth and looked at the woman on the couch. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 956 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 956 Chapter 956 Don¡¯t Worry. I Won¡¯t Peep! Kisa was still facing the couch, shrunken into a corner. That scene was embarrassing yet funny. Trying to deceive herself, Kisa thought that people would not know who she was if they could not see her face. Gilbert, after being interrupted, no longer has the mood for pleasure. He tugged her hand and said, ¡°Alright, they¡¯re gone. You can get up now.¡± Kisa sat up from the couch, her face blushing scarlet. The buttons on her shirt were all undone, and her shirt was hanging to the sides. Seeing her t tummy, Gilbert felt ufortable for not being able to reign in his wild imagination. He took a deep breath and nced elsewhere. His gaze fell on the bag of clothes at the door and he walked over. Davian brought two new sets of clothing. One set was for Gilbert, while the other was for Kisa. Gilbert took out his set of clothes and threw the bag at Kisa. ¡°Change out of your soaked attire.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Kisa nodded her head, grabbed the bag, and was about to head for the bathroom when Gilbert called her, ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to change,¡± said Kisa, staring at Gilbert weirdly. Gilbert knotted his brows and gave the couch a glimpse. ¡°Can¡¯t you change here?¡± ¡®There isn¡¯t even a ce to put her clothes in the bathroom. How could she change there?¡± Kisa¡¯s face was still flushed. ¡®He wants me to change in front of him?! I can¡¯t do that.¡¯ She said sullenly, ¡°I want to change in the bathroom.¡± Kisa walked toward the bathroom while talking, but the man was one step ahead of her and went into the bathroom. ¡°I¡¯ll change inside so you can change outside.¡± Kisa was astonished, and before she could reply, the man added, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t peep.¡± His statement made her seem a little melodramatic. Kisa hmphed with her lips twitched. She turned around and shut the CEO¡¯s office door. After Kisa finished changing her clothes, she realized Gilbert had not exited the bathroom. Unable to resist the need to check, she found him smoking at the bathroom sink. Gilbert had already changed into his fitting and expensive hand-made suit with a gray-cor shirt. Kisa observed him for a while and laughed, ¡°Why are you hiding in the bathroom, smoking?¡± ¡°I was afraid you hadn¡¯t finished changing,¡± Gilbert replied tly, his eyes never leaving her figure. Kisa burst outughing and pulled him out of the bathroom. Kisaughed while looking at his emotionless expression, ¡°You don¡¯t look too excited.¡± Gilbert watched her and said in a solemn yet lighthearted tone, ¡°How can men feel excited after being interrupted like this?¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. ¡®Umm¡­ Is he insatiable?¡¯ Kisa thought. Kisa got embarrassed thinking back at the scene of others seeing them like that. She snickered, ¡°It¡¯s all Davian¡¯s fault. Go on and me him. But¡­¡± She stared down at her dress as she was talking. ¡°Davian indeed has good taste. This floral dress is rather pretty.¡± Gilbert pushed away Kisa¡¯s hand, sat on the couch, and muffled a grunt. ¡®Why won¡¯t she consider I was the one who picked the dress while Davian was only responsible for sending it over?¡¯ Kisa, not noticing the changes in Gilbert¡¯s emotions, sat beside him. ¡°Are you busy tonight?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Gilbert replied. ¡°I¡¯ll be with you,¡± Kisa responded. ¡°There¡¯s no need to. Go back and rest. You have a scene tomorrow,¡± Gilbert stated. ¡± It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m not tired now,¡± Kisa answered and went to tidy up the files on the office table as Gilbert¡¯s conflicted eyes were fixated on Kisa. 4 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 957 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 957 Chapter 957 Getting Into Character Gilbert could feel that Kisa was trying to please, get close, and cater to him. He would feel happy if it weren¡¯t for the incident between Jensen and the warden. On the one hand, he missed her initiative and pleasantness. Yet, he was afraid that this was all a trap. He leaned back on the couch and pinched his brow wearily. ¡®I don¡¯t even dare to think about this matter. What would I do if this was a trap?¡± ¡°Gilbert, do you need me to do anything else?¡± The woman tidied up his desk and stacked the files nicely at the side. Gilbert opened his eyes to look at her. After a while, he said in a dry tone, ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go.¡± Kisa was stunned, ¡°Aren¡¯t you doing overtime?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not anymore,¡± said Gilbert. With the woman right before his eyes, how could Gilbert even be in the mood to work? Gilbert smiled bitterly and stood up, saying, ¡°I¡¯ll take you for a meal before sending you back.¡± ¡°Oh, okay,¡± Kisa walked over to him, all smiles, and naturally hugged his arms. Gilbert stared down at his hugged arm with worry, yet the corner of his lips unconsciously upturned. That night, Gilbert stayed at Kisa¡¯s ce. Rarely did the man not have pleasure with her, yet he even avoided her and went to sleep in the next room today. Kisa had no idea what the man was thinking. ¡®I can¡¯t figure out whether Gilbert is sick of me. He didn¡¯t chase me away when I went to him, but he has been so cold to me these two days,¡¯ Kisa tossed and turned in her bed, unable to sleep. Kisa was frustrated, afraid she could not make Gilbert fall for her. ¡®If I couldn¡¯t even do this, how could I take revenge on him? I want to break his heart and dump him mercilessly, so he would have a taste of being cheated. If he is not infatuated and did not take the bait, all I did so far would be f?r naught.¡¯N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Kisa lost sleep untilte at night and woke upte the next morning. Luckily, the director had an emergency today and took a day off. The first thing Kisa did after waking up was to check if Gilbert was still in the room next door. She found the room empty, and the nkets were neatly folded when she opened the door. Gilbert left quietly, not sending her a single text message or leaving her a note. It looked like he was still angry at her. Yet Kisa had no clue if it was about the day when she said she was unwilling to bear a child for him or if it was that she stained his documentsst night. Kisa stopped her train of thought and went to wash up. She entered the kitchen, shocked. There were a few sets of breakfast warmed on the stove. There was the sandwich that she loved and her favorite tuna sandwich. Kisa stared at the breakfast for a while and coldly twitched her lips, forming a half-smile. ¡®In the past, Gilbert used his attentiveness to open up my heart silently. I got lost in his thoughtfulness and, forgot about the revenge, ended up harming Jensen. Is he trying to do the same thing to me again?¡¯ Kisa thought. Kisa took out the breakfast and put it on the dining table. She took a bite of the tuna sandwich, and her eyes got wet. In the past, she would feel so sweet when she ate the tuna sandwiches bought by Gilbert. But now, even as the taste is simr, she could only feel insulted and cold-heartedness. Kisa had just eaten a bite of the tuna sandwich when her phone rang. She looked at her phone and furrowed her brows. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 958 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 958 Chapter 958 Get it or Destroy It It was Adrien who called Kisa. ¡®Uncle Adrien rarely contacts me. Why did he call me today?¡¯ Kisa hurriedly put down her sandwich to receive the phone call. ¡°Kisa, you don¡¯t have a scene to film today, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Our director had other matters today,¡± Kisa replied. ¡°Alright then,e to my clubhouse and y today. You haven¡¯t been here before, right?¡± Adrien asked. ¡°Clubhouse?¡± Kisa heard of it from Jensen before. He told her that Adrien has a clubhouse in a busy part of Calthon and that the business was doing well. Jensen promised to bring her there several times, but they never had the chance to go. Her eyes darkened at the thought of Jensen. It was Adrien¡¯s voice that brought Kisa back to reality. ¡°Kisa, I know that you¡¯re still upset about what happened to Jensen. Come take a break at my ce.¡± ¡°Will do,¡± Kisa suppressed her inner sorrow and smiled. She had to make a trip to the clubhouse since it was the ce Jensen had wanted to take her to. Just as she put down her phone, another call came in. She got confused as she looked at the caller on her phone screen. ¡®Why did Jolina contact me all of a sudden too?¡¯ Jolina was a quiet and introverted person. She rarely contacted others unless it was an emergency. Kisa picked up her phone hurriedly. ¡°Kisa, are you going to Mr. Tanner¡¯s clubhouse today?¡± Kisa froze for a moment and nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right. What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Oh. I-It¡¯s nothing,¡± Jolina hung up after she finished. Kisa looked at her phone, puzzled. ¡®Why is everyone mentioning the clubhouse today?¡¯ In the clubhouse, Peter nestled miserably on the sofa. Adrien took a nce at him and chuckled, ¡°Look at you. Why do you have to beat around the bush just to ask a woman out?¡± Peter too, seethed with anger. Jolina was a very stubborn Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. woman, neither listening to reason nor bowing to force. He could not ask her out, no matter how hard he tried. Remembering the incident at Hillsby where Jolina listened obediently to Kisa, Peter thought of using Kisa to bridge the gap between him and Jolina. He requested Adrien¡¯s help, knowing that Kisa might not havee if he was the one who asked. Although he made a fool of himself in front of Adrien, they got Jolina out, at least. Two hot girls with exquisite makeup got close to Peter. ¡°Peter, why are you sitting here all alone? Come on, let¡¯s go party over there.¡± Peter was very annoyed, so he just pushed the woman¡¯s hand away. ¡°Get lost!¡± The two girls looked at each other and walked away after being humiliated. Adrien smoked a cigarette, nonchntly observing Peter¡¯s annoyance. He then chuckled coldly, ¡°Why are you so frustrated over a woman? You really are something. I told you before, if you like it, go get it. If you can¡¯t get it, destroy it. Don¡¯t let people have what you can¡¯t.¡± Peter could not help but look at Adrien. ¡°Uncle Adrien, have you ever loved someone? ¡°I did¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯ll definitely be together if you fall for each other. You¡¯d forcefully be with her even if she doesn¡¯t love you. So why aren¡¯t you together now?¡± Since young, Peter knew Adrien was single. After so many years, he was still single. ¡®If Uncle Adrien has a woman he loves, why is she not by his side? How could he ept that the woman he loves is with another man when he has been so obsessed with this rtionship?¡¯ Adrien suddenly narrowed his eyes as he fell into deep thought.

Unsure if he was right, but he felt like Adrien¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred when he said that. ¡®Peter, listen to me. Go for her if you like her, and destroy everything if you can¡¯t get her. Otherwise, you¡¯re just going to make yourself the most miserable person in the world.¡± Destroy everything?¡¯ Peter¡¯s heart sank when he thought about how grim Jolina¡¯s face looked whenever she rejected him. Should I really do that? What if I don¡¯t have the heart to?¡¯ Arriving at Adrien¡¯s club by car, Kisa did not immediately enter the establishment, instead choosing to examine the exterior of the building. The club, with a luxurious- looking exterior, was five stories high, and each story had a different event taking ce. This is not a ce for those who are not rich or without high social standing. Kisa awkwardly looked at how she dressed. She was wearing a white t-shirt with a pair of jeans for convenience. Added her attire to her ponytail, she could not look more ordinary. She wondered if Adrien had informed the security prior, as it would be embarrassing if she were barred from entering. ¡°Kisa!¡± J¨®lina came out of nowhere and shouted her name. Kisa was surprised as she looked at Jolina. ¡°Why are you here too?¡¯ ¡®No wonder she asked me abouting to this club when she called me just now.¡± Kisa thought to herself.

Jolina¡¯s getup was a refreshing sight to behold, in a in white dress and not wearing any makeup. ¡°Peter asked me toe here, and he told me that you¡¯ll being too. He said that Mr. Tanner has something to talk to us about the film.¡± Kisa was suspicious. She felt something strange was happening, but she could not be certain about it. They walked toward the entrance. As expected, they were stopped by the security guard. ¡°Please show me your I.D. Thanks.¡± Kisa was stunned. She saw Peter striding toward her direction as soon as she was about to mention Adrien¡¯s name. ¡°Let them in!¡± Peter¡¯smanding voice reached them before he could get closer to them. Jolina frowned unhappily when she saw Peter. Words could not describe the scornful and spiteful look on her face. Kisa nced at Peter again, feeling a little bad after looking at how ingratiating he made himself look. Peter reminded her of her old self. She acted just like him in the past to please Gilbert. She would only get Gilbert¡¯s cold and disgusted look in exchange whenever she went up to him with a big smile. Peter was already in front of her when she was still spaced out. In the past, whenever Kisa looked at Gilbert, she felt everything was fine with the world. ¡°Remember their faces now. Don¡¯t ever ask for their I.D. again when they¡¯re here. They have full ess to the club!¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Webb.¡± Peter put on a smile and turned to Jolina after ordering the security guards. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Jolina replied tly with her head down, not looking at Peter. Peter was not bothered by that. He reached out and tried to grab Jolina¡¯s hand, but she took a step back from him. Jolina hugged Kisa¡¯s arms and said to Peter, ¡°Mr. Tanner wants to talk to us, right? Bring us to him then.¡± Peter squinted as his irritation red inside of him. However, he hid it, turned around, and walked inside. Kisa patted Jolina¡¯s hand after Peter went farther away from them. ¡°Let¡¯s go now.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 960 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 960 Chapter 960 Wants Her to Blend In Peter led the way and brought them all the way to the highest floor of the club. Rumor had it that the top floor was also the most luxurious floor. There was plenty of entertainment, but only certain people could get inside. So, the top floor was not packed and was rather quiet and private. Adrien had been expecting them. He waved at Kisa and Jolina as soon as they stepped into the lobby. ¡°Kisa, over here.¡± Kisa looked over and saw Adrien sitting in a grand booth, and she walked over with Jolina, sitting opposite Adrien. Jolina was a little restrained and would not lift her head up. Peter was sitting right in front of her, and his gaze had never shifted away from her. A waiter came over with two sses of cocktail after they sat down. Then, the waiter ced the cocktails in front of Kisa and Jolina respectively. ¡°Thanks.¡± Kisa thanked the waiter before looking at Adrien. ¡°Uncle Adrien, your club is huge.¡± ¡°Ha-ha. You¡¯re too kind. You shoulde here more often if you like it here.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Kisa smiled and took a sip of the cocktail. Jolina was not a drinker. She sat there for some time before she finally lifted her head and looked at Adrien as if it took her a lot of courage. ¡°Mr. Tanner, M-Mr. Webb told us you have something to discuss with Kisa and me. May I know what it is?¡± ¡°Oh. I¡¯ve been to the set and discovered that you could act pretty well. You surprised me. So, I¡¯m just thinking of making you the female lead in the next show I¡¯m going to invest in.¡± ¡°Me?¡± Jolina was shocked. Then, she threw a suspicious look at Peter. Adrien took a sip of his drink calmly before he said with a smile, ¡°My gut feelings never failed me. Themitment I see in you deserves an opportunity.¡± ¡°But¡­ I don¡¯t have much experience.¡± Jolina said unconfidently. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Adrien smiled gently. ¡°Experience has to be honed with opportunity. How are you going to have any experience without an opportunity?¡± Kisa listened to Adrien silently. She thought that what he said made a lot of sense. ¡°Peter, you should bring Ms. Wayne to have some fun. I¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m good!¡± Jolina waved her hands hastily before Adrien could finish speaking. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go anywhere. I just want to sit here.¡± It was obvious that she did not want to spend time with Peter alone. Anger flooded Peter¡¯s veins once again. He ignored what Jolina said. Then, he grabbed her and took her away. Kisa saw what had happened, and she was about to stop Peter. Then, Adrien said to her with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Peter means no harm. He just wants her to blend into his circle. He had never been so serious with a woman before.¡± Kisa furrowed her brows as she stared at Peter and Jolina walking farther away from her. She felt that Peter and Adrien nned everything to make Jolinae here. However, Adrien was a respectable elder to Kisa, after all. Peter would not dare to do anything bad to Jolina with Adrien¡¯s presence. ¡°Let go of me!¡± Jolina shook Peter off in an empty corner. Then, she turned around and wanted to return to Kisa. Peter suppressed his anger as he said coldly behind Jolina¡¯s back, ¡°Uncle Adrien needs to talk with Kisa in private. Can¡¯t you notice that he didn¡¯t want us to be there? Are you sure you want to go back?¡± Jolina immediately halted her steps. Peter lifted the edge of his mouth after seeing how Jolina froze in ce. He strode toward her and grabbed her arm. ¡°Come on, Let¡¯s have some fun.¡± Jolina wanted to shake him off, but Peter forcefully dragged her into a private room. On the other side, Kisa¡¯s eyes wandered around the club. Suddenly, Adrien asked her, ¡°Why did you reconcile with Gilbert? You¡¯re up to something, aren¡¯t you?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 961 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 961 Chapter 961 Shocking News Kisa sat up straight before smiling faintly. ¡°Uncle Adrien, you¡¯re kidding. I¡¯m only dating Gilbert because I love him and nothing else.¡± Adrien¡¯s face turned doleful as he spoke, ¡°Stop lying to me. I can tell that you¡¯re still very sad. You just can¡¯t get over what happened to Jensen and to yourself. ¡°It¡¯s true. None of us expected Gilbert to be such an evil person. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. ¡°Jensen is still in aa, and god knows if he¡¯ll be able to open his eyes again. He¡¯s just so young, and he has a bright future ahead of him. He hasn¡¯t even had his own family yet. How could he live the rest of his life like this?¡± Tears streamed down Adrien¡¯s face as he spoke. ¡°Jensen has been my favorite business partner. I always imagined having an exceptional man like him as my son whenever he was with me.¡± Adrien¡¯s voice trembled as he cried. What Adrien said tore Kisa¡¯s mental wound open. She bowed her head down as she tried to hold her tears back. Then, she said in a shaky voice. ¡°Yeah. Jensen¡­ it¡¯s unfortunate.¡± She would hate Gilbert and herself even more whenever she thought about what happened to Jensen. Adrien looked at her and said dejectedly, ¡°I don¡¯t care what¡¯s the real reason you got back with Gilbert. However, I just want to let you know that you coulde to me anytime if you ever get into trouble. I¡¯ll do everything I can to help you.¡± ¡°Sure. Thanks, Uncle Adrien.¡± Kisa inhaled deeply and did not say anything else. All she could think about was revenge. ¡®Gilbert hated Jensen, and he wants to be in control of everything, right? ¡®I¡¯m going to take everything that GK and his family own away from him. I can¡¯t imagine how miserable he¡¯ll be after he has nothing left.¡¯ Kisa could not help but sneer as she thought about that. However, she had tears all over her cheeks. No one knew if she was crying because of Jensen or for her doomed love. ¡± Adrien breathed out a swirl of cigarette smoke. His deep and sharp eyes looked cold, as if he was plotting something behind the smoke. ¡°Adrien, how do I look today?¡± Suddenly, a cringy voice of a middle-aged woman could be heard from the door. Kisa shivered and got goosebumps all over her when she heard that. However, that voice sounded very simr to Carolyn¡¯s voice. She arched her brows and looked over to the door. As expected, she saw Carolyn walking in her direction slowly while swiveling her chubby hips. Carolyn clearly gained some weight, but she still chose to wear a fitting and bright- colored dress. The fat around her waist looked so obvious in that dress. Carolyn wore a lot of makeup. She noticed Kisa as soon as she walked over and a disdainful look appeared on Carolyn¡¯s thickly powdered face. ¡°You¡¯re here too.¡± Kisa ignored her as she looked at Adrien confusedly. Adrien smiled. ¡°There¡¯s no need for any introduction since you guys know each other. Then, he looked at Carolyn. ¡°Carolyn, sit over here.¡± Carolyn immediately put on a smile and sat beside Adrien. The interaction between them looked a little intimate. Kisa was shocked and surprised as she brought her brows closely together. ¡°Uncle Adrien, what¡­¡± ¡°Sigh!¡± Adrien exhaled deeply before he said sorrowfully to Kisa, ¡°I like Carolyn very much, but we met at the wrong time. I know she belongs to your father and what I¡¯m doing isn¡¯t right, but I just can¡¯t control my own feelings.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. ¡®Adrien is actually in love with Carolyn?!¡¯ That was literally thest thing she could imagine happening in the entire world! Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 962 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 962 Chapter 962 Stay With Me Tonight Carolyn smirked and said sarcastically after looking at how shocked Kisa was. ¡°Sigh. I didn¡¯t know I could be so charming, either. If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t be with your father. That way, he wouldn¡¯t fall for me and abandon your mother to be Bwith me.¡± She even sighed and pretended to be sorry and regretful as she spoke. Even though Kisa was shocked, she still asked Carolyn with a cold smile, ¡°Does my dad know what¡¯s going on between the two of you?¡± Carolyn arched her brows and said, ¡°I don¡¯t dare to tell your father about this because I don¡¯t want him to be sad. I wanted to divorce him, but you know how stubborn your father is, too, right? I¡¯m afraid that he¡¯ll do something regretful if I tell him about this.¡± Kisa was struggling to hold in herughter. ¡®Where did this woman get her confidence from? How could she be so bold to say something like this?¡¯ Kisa shifted her gaze to Adrien and saw how deeply in love he looked as he stared at Carolyn. She felt like everything she knew about the world was wrong. Even though Adrien was already a middle-aged man, he was still a charming, ambitious man who could act and speak like a gentleman. Carolyn was the total opposite of him. She found it impossible to point out anything that could be attractive about Carolyn. Kisa could not believe that Adrien was actually in love with Carolyn. ¡®Could it be true that beauty really is in the eye of the beholder? ¡®Adrien has got to have some really weird eyes then.¡¯ ¡°Kisa, you should join Peter and Jolina if there¡¯s nothing else. I need to talk to Carolyn about something.¡± Kisa did not feel like staying there anymore either, looking very disturbed whenever she sees them. Suddenly, her impression of Adrien was ruined. He did not look as respected and trustworthy to Kisa anymore. Kisa was d that she did not tell Adrien anything about the revenge she was plotting against Gilbert. Otherwise, her entire n would be ruined if he told Carolyn anything by mistake. Kisa stood up cautiously before she said to Adrien, ¡°I¡¯ll leave you alone now, then.¡± Carolyn threw herself into Adrien¡¯s arms as soon as Kisa left. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I can¡¯t stand that person anymore! He¡¯s been so paranoidtely, and he wouldn¡¯t even let me leave the house. It took me so much effort just to be here today.¡± Adrien tapped her nose dotingly. ¡°Be patient. Divorce him when he doesn¡¯t have the energy to deal with you anymore. Then, I¡¯ll marry you.¡± ¡°Okay. You¡¯re the one who said it.¡± Carolyn smiled happily as she said that. Adrien¡¯s eyes sparkled. Then he asked Carolyn, ¡°Stay with me¡­ tonight?¡± ¡°Eww!¡± Carolyn hammered his chest lightly before she continued shyly, ¡°You¡¯ve got to be gentler with me then. It hurt so much that day. Besides, it was so dark. I couldn¡¯t even see you, and you wouldn¡¯t talk to me either.¡± ¡°Ha-ha. Sure, I¡¯ll be gentler this time.¡± Kisa had goosebumps all over as she watched them flirt with each other while hiding in the corner. ¡®God, Adrien has got to be blind.¡± Kisa could not bear to see them anymore. Then, she turned around and left. She wanted to snap a picture of them and send it to Christopher, so he could see what kind of person he abandoned Kisa¡¯s mother for back then. However, she gave up that idea after thinking about it. She thought that Christopher would find out about it sooner orter anyway. Carolyn might even turn on her if she sent Christopher a picture of them. Kisa wanted to look for Jolina, but she could not see her anywhere after looking around in the lobby. So, she went to search the private rooms. There were a lot of private rooms on that floor besides the spacious lobby. Someone staggered out of a private room when Kisa walked into the corridor and bumped right into her¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 963 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 963 Chapter 963 What¡¯s Up, Sc*mbag! Kisa wobbled to the side after that person bumped into her. However, she managed to keep her bnce after holding her hand against the wall. She looked up and saw a womaning out of the room. That woman was dressed in sexy clothes and had some delicate makeup on. She looked gorgeous. She seemed like she drank, as her cheeks were a little pinkish. However, that woman looked very familiar to Kisa. She stared at that woman for a few seconds before she could remember who she was. That woman was Felicity. Gilbert brought her here from Athadale before he introduced her to Davian. Felicity squinted as if she was checking Kisa out too. Suddenly, Felicity smiled at Kisa and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for that.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Kisa shook her head subconsciously. Felicity smiled before she walked to the lobby. Kisa looked at her, receding back. She had no idea if Felicity recognized her. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡®I guess not. After all, I¡¯m just wearing simple clothes without any makeup today. Besides, we haven¡¯t really met other than in the airport that day.¡¯ Kisa stopped thinking about it and went deeper into the corridor while calling Jolina. On the other side, Felicity went to a corner and reached for her phone right after she made her way to the lobby¡­ In the CEO¡¯s office of GK Pictures. Davian was disconstely reading the documents that were stained by the sauce. ¡®Mr. Kooper is punishing me for ruining his nst night, right? ¡®Ahhh! ¡®A few of the contracts were stained. All my effort these days had gone to waste again!¡¯ He nced at the man sitting behind the office desk. Gilbert looked very busy as the pen in his hand would not stop moving. ¡®Sigh. Forget it. Mr. Kooper has a lot of work to do too. ¡®I me the person who just had to spill the sauce all over the documents.¡¯ Davian even told Gilbert that Kisa did that on purpose. However, Gilbert got mad at him. So, he chose to keep his mouth shut. He knew that Gilbert would not allow anybody to put Kisa in a bad light judging from how Gilbert spoiled her. Davian¡¯s phone rang when he was still thinking to himself dispiritedly. He reached for his phone and saw Felicity calling him. He declined the call directly before going back to cleaning the documents. Shortly after, his phone rang again, and it was still Felicity. His ringtone filled Gilbert¡¯s office, and it sounded abrupt and annoying. Davian looked at the office desk cautiously as if he had done something wrong. As expected, he saw his boss frowning. He gritted his teeth and declined the call again. Davian heard Gilbert¡¯s emotionless voice as soon as he put his phone away. ¡°There¡¯s a lot to be done today. You¡¯re going to work untilte. Stop thinking about your girlfriend.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ okay¡­¡± Davian responded mindlessly. ¡®I wasn¡¯t thinking about that at all.¡¯ He thought to himself. Spending time with Felicity was thest thing he would ever want on Earth. Felicity called him for the third time when he was deep in thought. Gilbert could not keep his cool anymore as he threw his pen away and snorted. ¡°Just take it!¡± He knew that it was Felicity calling without asking. Gilbert knew Felicity too well. She just would not give up until she got what she wanted. Felicity would keep calling Davian until he decided to pick up. Davian acted immediately and answered the call after seeing the insidious look on Gilbert¡¯s face. ¡°What¡¯s up, sc*mbag! Why did you keep declining my calls?¡± ¡°My boss said I have to work untilte today, so please stop bothering me. I¡¯m very busy.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± The woman on the other side of the phone chuckled. ¡°Turn on your speaker then. I want your boss to hear this.¡± ¡°What are you up to?¡± Davian asked cautiously. Felicity chuckled again. ¡°There¡¯s nothing much I can do over the phone anyway. Just do as I say.¡± Davian frowned confusedly but turned on the speaker of his phone anyway. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 964 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 964 Chapter 964 Your Boss¡¯s Wife Is Forced to Drink ¡°I saw your boss¡¯s wife at Club Lovely Serenity. I think her name is Kisa Becker, right?¡± Felicity intentionally said it out loud. Upon hearing her, Gilbert¡¯s eyebrows immediately furrowed. He then stared at Davian with his gloomy eyes. Davian was frightened as he quickly said, ¡°Nonsense. My boss¡¯s wife is filming now. You must be mistaken.¡± ¡°Well, her whole crew isn¡¯t working today. Don¡¯t you and your boss know about this? Tsk, tsk. You really don¡¯t care about your boss¡¯s wife. Anyway, I saw her at the club and she was in a private room. I think you know that people who like to go there are those rich and powerful idle hooligans. They like to tease women and ask women to drink. Tsk, tsk. Even an old-timer like me couldn¡¯t escape from them. I was forced to drink a few sses. It¡¯s dangerous for an innocent girl like your boss¡¯s wife, tsk. But you and your boss are so busy. I think you guys don¡¯t have time to save her. You know what, I¡¯ll help you guys to look after her. So that I can prevent her from leaving the club with another man when she¡¯s drunk.¡± Felicity¡¯s voice flooded the CEO¡¯s office. Davian shuddered as he looked at his boss. Sure enough, Gilbert made an extremely dreary face. ¡°Sigh, your boss¡¯s wife is being forced to drink again. I have to go and keep an eye on her. I¡¯ll stop talking to you now.¡± Felicity ended the phone call after that. Davian carefully put his phone down. He returned to the paperwork in front of him with his head down. Although his face was very close to the table, he could still feel his boss¡¯s ruthless and scary eyes. He pressed his lips together, contemting whether he should say something. ¡®But Felicity was talking so loudly just now. Gilbert must have heard everything she said. I guess I don¡¯t need to say anything. ¡®If I ask him whether or not we should find his wife, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯d think I just want to ck off.¡¯ After much consideration, Davian felt that he should just remain silent. While he hesitated, a huge shadow suddenly engulfed him, putting him under a lot of pressure Davian was surprised as he saw Gilbert standing right in front of his desk. ¡°Boss¡­ C-Can I help you?¡± Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Ask Felicity to send you the location.¡± Gilbert then stalked off outside after he said that. Davian froze for a few seconds. He quickly followed Gilbert, ¡°Boss, you mentioned that there¡¯s a lot of work to do today. Do we need to workte at night? Boss? Boss¡­¡± Jolina only epted Kisa¡¯s phone call after she called her several times. It could be because it was too noisy where Jolina was. Jolina said that she was in private room 8507. Kisa stared nkly at the room number on the door. ¡®Didn¡¯t Felicitye out from this private room just now? ¡®Were they in the same room?¡¯ While she was thinking about that, Felicity suddenly walked toward her. The way she walked was enchanting. Her eyes were charming, suddenly reminding Kisa of Mia. ¡®But Mia is more flirtatious. ¡®Felicity looks more innocent. It¡¯s mainly because of her manner, behavior, and her elegant eyes.¡¯ Felicity walked in front of Kisa and said with a smile, ¡°Hi. You¡¯re still here. Are you looking for someone?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Kisa nodded, ¡°My friend is inside this room.¡± ¡°I see. That¡¯s great. Let¡¯s go inside together.¡± Felicity was friendly. She took the initiative to grab Kisa¡¯s hand as she pushed open the door. ¡°Speaking of which, Mr. Kooper and I are friends. What an odd coincidence that we should meet here.¡± Kisa looked at her with surprise. ¡®She recognizes me, as expected.¡¯ The heavy door was opened. ¡®The air isn¡¯t as thick with cigarette smoke as I imagined.¡¯ Kisa raised her eyes as she looked inside¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 965 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 965 Chapter 965 The Only One There was a thick gray rug inside the private room. The European-styled blinds were tightly closed. The crystalmps on the ceiling were all switched on, lighting up the whole private room as bright as day. There was a big round table in the middle of the room. A few dandies wearing expensive clothes yed poker on the round table. There were a few big booths in the private room. Men and women were drinking andughing at the booths. Kisa looked around and finally saw Jolina at a booth further in. Only Jolina and Peter were there. It seemed like Peter was trying to impress her. He constantly showed her something new, but Jolina looked grim the whole time. She did not really pay attention to him. Felicity stared at Kisa as she asked with a smile, ¡°Did you find your friend?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Kisa nodded. She then gently wriggled out of Felicity¡¯s grip, ¡°I¡¯ll go over there. Have a good time.¡± ¡°Sure. Go ahead.¡± Kisa smiled. She then walked toward Jolina. She was not close to Felicity. So, she felt a little awkward when she was with her. ¡°Ms. Kisa.¡± Jolina looked grim, but a faint smile suddenly appeared on her face when she saw Kisa. Peter was furious when he saw that. ¡°What are you two ying?¡± Kisa sat opposite them. Jolina hurriedly said, ¡°We aren¡¯t ying anything. Ms. Kisa, are you going home now? Let¡¯s leave together.¡± Obviously, Jolina did not want to stay here any longer. Kisa did not speak, subconsciously ncing at Peter. Indeed, she saw Peter ring at her resentfully as if she was bothering them. Kisa pressed her lips, wondering if she should bring up the topic of wanting to go home. Peter suddenly ced a few exquisite cocktails in front of her. ¡°These are the cocktails that were newly invented by the bartender here. There¡¯s only one each every day. Try them.¡± Kisa was surprised. ¡®Why is he treating me so well suddenly? He¡¯s even willing to let me try these unique cocktails.¡¯ While she was thinking that, Peter disconstely said, ¡°I was trying to be nice to let her try these. But she wouldn¡¯t drink it. It was like I poisoned the drinks.¡± He even abnormally nced at Jolina angrily as he said that. Kisa instantly got the answer to her question. ¡®So, turns out it was because Jolina didn¡¯t want the cocktails. That was why he let me try them.¡¯ And it seemed like what Peter said just now suddenly upset Jolina. Jolina fiercely red at Peter. She bitterly and disgustedly said with anger, ¡°Didn¡¯t you? You used dirty tricks to harm mest time. Why are you acting like a human all of a sudden now?!¡± ¡°You!¡± Peter was irritated. Anger flooded his eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve said many times that it wasn¡¯t me who did it. How the f*ck would I know it¡¯d ended up like that?¡± ¡°If it wasn¡¯t you, who else could it be? You¡¯re a shameless, nasty, and brazen rat!¡± Jolina shouted furiously. Rage overtook Peter too. He ruthlessly stared at her, ¡°I dare you to say that again!¡± ¡°You¡¯re shameless, nasty, and brazen!¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Kisa was shocked when she saw Peter raise his hand and wanted to hit Jolina. She quickly grabbed his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t be mad. Jolina is abruptly angry and confused, hence, the loose lips. Come, let¡¯s continue drinking¡­¡± Peter was short-fused. Kisa already noticed that when she was at Jolina¡¯s house that day. In her opinion, angering him would only bring about his fury, but if his whims could be followed through, anything that Jolina wanted, Peter would give it to her without fail, even if it was a star. Kisa stared at Peter¡¯s gloomy face. She smiled as she handed him an alcoholic drink, ¡°All right. Let¡¯s drink.¡± At the poker table, Felicity smirked as she put down her phone. She then quickly sent Davian the few photos that she took. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 966 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 966 Chapter 966 Behaving Badly Davian was on driving on the road when the phone beside him suddenly rang. He quickly nced at his phone, realizing that Felicity had sent him messages. He could not help but say to Gilbert, ¡°Mr. Kooper, can you help me to check my phone and see if Felicity has sent me the location.¡± Gilbert was leaning back in the chair, slumbering, and reluctantly opened his eyes as he heard Davian¡¯s voice. After a moment, he grabbed Davian¡¯s phone and said in a muffled voice, ¡°Password.¡± ¡®Seriously. He¡¯s a grown man. What kind of secrets can he have? He even has a lock screen password!¡¯ ¡°Okay. Eight eight eight eight eight eight!¡± ¡°Ha-ha!¡± Gilbert suddenlyughed. ¡°Davian, are you not satisfied with your current sry? Your avaricious motive makes it look like you¡¯re constantly ming me for preventing you from bing wealthy.¡± Davian was speechless. ¡®He¡¯s very imaginative. Why isn¡¯t he working as a screenwriter?!¡¯ ¡°It¡¯s not that, Mr. Kooper. I just feel that the number eight is auspicious. So, I decided to have six eights as my lock screen password. It¡¯s easy to remember.¡± ¡°I see. But it¡¯s easy to guess too!¡± Gilbert coldly said as he opened the messages Felicity sent. Suddenly, a few pictures popped up. Gilbert was immediately unhappy when he saw the photos. In the photo, Kisa was tightly grabbing Peter¡¯s wrist. Half of her body crossed the table, and she was almost in his arms. In the next few pictures, all that could be seen was Kisa smiling obsequiously at Peter. The more Gilbert looked at her smile, the more annoyed he felt. N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content. He stared hard at the woman in the photo, and his eyes were extremely gloomy. ¡®Hmm, she seriously hasn¡¯t been behaving herself. She finally got a rest day, but she went to this kind of ce to flirt with another man,¡¯ He was furious and indignant as he thought of her obsequiousness when she was flirting. He liked her cutesy look. But he only allowed her to be coquettish to him alone. Davian could clearly feel that the atmosphere near him had suddenly turned cold. Anxiously, he asked, ¡°Boss, what did Felicity send?¡± Gilbert remained silent, locked the phone, and closed his eyes. While he leaned back in the chair, he became so quiet it seemed like he was asleep, yet Davian could feel the strong chill emanating from Gilbert¡¯s body. ¡®Hmm! Did I set the temperature too low?¡¯ He quietly turned up the temperature as he happily thought that. But he still felt cold. It seemed like the coldness was constantly lingering around him. As he was about to secretly set the air conditioner at a higher temperature again, Gilbert suddenly shouted ¡°Wear more clothes if you¡¯re afraid of the cold. Do you want me to die from the heat?! Davian pressed his lips, withdrew his hand, and continued to drive. ¡®I¡¯m sure Felicity messaged something bad. Thatdy will be the ruin of me one of these days!¡¯ ¡°Eh, isn¡¯t this the cocktail that is only made once per day?¡± Just when Kisa was calming Peter down, Felicity came to them suddenly. She then picked up the cocktail in front of Kisa and started drinking it. ¡°It tastes good. I went to request this drink at the front desk. But they told me this wasn¡¯t avable. Hmph! They lied to me!¡± Peter frowned as he stared at Felicity, who suddenly appeared. ¡°Where did youe from? Who allowed you to drink my alcohol?¡± Kisa frustratingly caressed her forehead. Felicity is really too friendly. Didn¡¯t she notice Peter¡¯s furious and raging face? Why did she senselessly come here to anger him?¡¯ A man suddenly came over just when Kisa wanted to stand up and exin. ¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 967 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 967 Chapter 967 She is Your Love Rival The man was tall and handsome, and his manner was gentle and elegant.

He gave a faint smile as he said, ¡°Ronald, she¡¯s your friend, I see. It¡¯s all right then. I was wondering where this crazy woman came from.¡± ¡°Ha-ha. You¡¯re funny, Peter. It¡¯ll be very difficult for you to find a girlfriend if you talk like this.¡± Felicity gazed at Jolina as she daringly said, ¡°Look, you¡¯re so bad at socializing. No wonder the woman beside you doesn¡¯t like you.¡± ¡°Bam!¡± Peter hit the table hard. He angrily stood up and was about to smack Felicity when Kisa hurriedly grabbed his hand across the table. ¡°Don¡¯t be mad, Peter. She loves to joke. She¡¯s Gilbert and my friend. Do us a favor. Don¡¯t mind what she said.¡± Peter frowned as he red at Kisa and said coldly, ¡°Since when was she your friend?¡± Kisa smiled as she said, ¡°It¡¯s true. She¡¯s really our friend. Gilbert specifically brought her from Athadale to visit Calthon.¡± Having heard that, Peter could not help but carefully nce at Felicity. Suddenly, as if he recalled something, he explicitly said, ¡°I remember now. She¡¯s the rumored girlfriend that Gilbert brought back. Tsk, tsk¡­¡± With a sudden look of disgust and irony, Peter turned to Kisa and said sarcastically,¡± She¡¯s your love rival. You¡¯re so generous!¡± Kisa fakedughter before turning silent. Felicity turned her eyes as she suddenly said to Peter, ¡°Since we¡¯re all friends, let¡¯s go and y cards. It¡¯s very fun!¡± Felicity grabbed Jolina¡¯s hand as she said that. Jolina hated Peter, but she was shy to reject the enthusiasm of another woman:. She was soon pulled by Felicity to the big, round table, made of the finest mahogany, looking exceptionally stylish, in the middle of the room. Jolina was particrly ufortable with this kind of atmosphere. After she was pulled to sit at the table by Felicity, she looked dazed as she stared helplessly at Kisa. Kisa could only quickly follow her to the table. It seemed Peter was still angry, looking gloomy as he sat alone at the booth. ¡°Ha-ha. Allow me to introduce these two gorgeousdies.¡± Felicity grasped Jolina with one hand, the other hand grabbing Kisa as she talked to the rich dandies at the table with a smile. All of a sudden, Jolina and Kisa became the center of attention. Kisa was an artist and the wife of the CEO of GK Pictures. Naturally, everyone knew she was Gilbert¡¯s wife. So, they did not sport with her or even dared to look at her for long. In the end, almost everyone was staring at Jolina. Jolina dressed innocently and seemed like a recent graduate, looking very different from the women whom those wealthy dandies usually flirted with. A few of them suddenly showed interest in her. ¡°Such a beautiful littledy. Felicity, where is she from?¡± said a dandy as he stared at Jolina with his piercing eyes. Jolina turned shy as they looked at her, nervously lowering her head. Felicity nced at that dandy, ¡°Don¡¯t stare at a girl like you want to gobble her up. You¡¯d scare her away. I¡¯m warning all of you. They¡¯re my friends, so don¡¯t overdo the jokes with them.¡± ¡°All right. We¡¯ll listen to you, Felicity. We can¡¯t joke around with them. But¡­ We can look at them, right?¡± Another dandy even brazenly stared at Jolina. ¡°Stare at them.

Peter suddenly said to her ear coldly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you want to be toyed by those dandies?¡± ¡°You!¡± Jolina furiously red at him. The disgust on her face could not be concealed. Peter was unhappy but quickly looked away, afraid he would be so angry that he would lose his mind and hit her. 1 see. She¡¯s your woman, Peter.¡± A dandy smiled as he eased the tension around the table, ¡°You should¡¯ve told us. Since she¡¯s your woman, we won¡¯t dare toy our hands on her.¡± Peter grunted coldly as he immediately sat down beside Jolina. Felicity rolled her eyes and said with a smile, ¡®Guys, let¡¯s y cards. There are so many people now, so it must be fun.¡± ¡°How do we y? Felicity, do you have a better way to y?¡± Ronald tenderly stared at Felicity as he asked. She then touched her chin with her index finger as she thought seriously. Kisa gazed at Felicity. She could not help but secretly wonder, Felicity is enchanting. yful, and audacious when she has fun. Will she really like a nerd like Davian? Gilbert is such a bad matchmaker.¡± While she thought that, she heard Felicity say to everyone with a smile, ¡®There are so many people now. There are males and females, and things are more fun when both genders work together. So, let¡¯s y in groups. Form a pair with the opposite sex.¡± After saying that, she then looked at Peter and Jolina as she said, ¡°You two are hugging so tightly. Both of you might as well just form a pair.¡± Peter grunted but remained silent while Jolina pressed her lips not daring to speak up as well.. Ronald then gently said to Felicity as he smiled, ¡°Shall we form a pair?¡± ¡®Sure. But you can¡¯t lose. Because if you lose, the girl will have to face the punishment.¡± Kisa was speechless. Felicity is putting me in a bad spot.¡¯ Ronald dotingly rubbed her hair, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Are you really doubting my card skill?¡± While Kisa was looking at their intimate interaction, she could not help but secretly think, ¡®If Davian were here right now, what would his reaction be?¡¯ Peter and Jolina were a pair. Felicity and Ronald were another pair. Other than the two pairs, there were still four males and four females at the table. Kisa was one of the fourdies. Not wanting to y this game from the beginning, Kisa took advantage of the remaining time the yers took to pair up, quickly turn around, and quietly walk away. Unexpectedly, Felicity knew what Kisa thought as Felicity grabbed Kisa¡¯s arm when she turned around. ¡°Ms. Kisa, where are you going? Pair up quickly.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t know how to y this game. You guys y. Have fun.¡± ¡°Ha-ha!¡± Felicityughed suddenly. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know how to y this game. Didn¡¯t you hear what I said just now? The guys will y the cards. We¡¯re the bargaining chips. Whichever man loses, thedy of that pair will be punished.¡± Kisa was speechless. ¡®What is Felicity trying to do?¡¯ ¡°Felicity, we¡¯re done. All of us have paired up.¡± A dandy shouted at Felicity. Felicity nced at them, then said to Kisa with a smile, ¡°Okay, it¡¯s not that I want to force you to y, but we still need one moredy. Look, the three of them have already paired up with thedies. Marshall is the only one left. He¡¯s the youngest and the most honest guy. Just pair up with him for his sake. Or else, everybody would end upughing at him.¡± While she was talking, Marshall was piteously hanging his head, looking like a little pet that nobody wanted. ¡°That¡¯s right, Mrs. Kooper. Even if you lose, the punishment won¡¯t be harsh. After all, we are quite afraid of your husband. So, join us and y with us.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 969 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 969 Chapter 969 Game On! ¡®Your husband?¡¯ Kisa winced when she heard the word ¡®husband¡¯, only to realize they meant Gilbert a few secondster. ¡°All right. Stop being dramatic It¡¯s just a game. Why? Are you afraid that everybody will eat you up?¡± Peter suddenly scornfullyughed at her, looking very impatient. Kisa nced at him. ¡®Indeed, Jolina didn¡¯t hate Peter for no reason. He is bad- tempered, impatient, and even likes to hit women. Who would like him?! As Kisa was angrily thinking about that, Felicity had already pushed her next to Marshall. Marshall looked like he was around Jolina¡¯s age, tall, slim, and white, a sunshine boy. He shyly said to Kisa, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t lose. I won¡¯t let you get punished.¡± Having heard that, Kisa was even more embarrassed to reject ying the game. She smiled as she said to Marshall, ¡°It¡¯s all right. Just do your best.¡± Soon, a waiter gave them two decks of poker cards. While the waiter was shuffling the cards, Felicity said to everyone, ¡°Here¡¯s the deal, we¡¯ll y Winner. Thest two men who don¡¯t y all their cards, whatever number of cards you¡¯re left with, thedies you are paired with will drink the same number of sses of alcohol. The punishment is just drinking.¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Hearing that drinking was the only punishment, Kisa felt relieved. She was traumatized by entertainment games, recalling the harsh punishment when she yed truth or dare at Kerrona Hill. Her relief was short-lived as a dandy smirked and said, ¡°It¡¯s not fun if it¡¯s just drinking. Can it be more exciting?¡± Felicity raised her delicate eyebrows, ¡°What kind of exciting punishment? Tell us.¡± ¡°Exciting punishments like removing shirts, kissing, or at the least, singing or dancing. Drinking isn¡¯t fun at all.¡± ¡°Ha-ha!¡± Felicity smiled dully, looking at the others, ¡°What do you all think?¡± ¡°We think Keh has a point. It¡¯s boring if it¡¯s just drinking,¡± one of thedies said. Felicity smiled as she nodded, ¡°All right. We¡¯ll do what Keh said. The person who doesn¡¯t y all their cards and are left with equal or more than ten cards, theirdy will have to take off a piece of clothing.¡± Kisa was speechless. ¡®It¡¯s summer now. What¡¯s the difference between taking off a piece of clothing and not wearing any clothes at all?¡¯ Peter, seemingly trying to protect Jolina, immediately said, ¡°I disagree!¡± Felicity smiled as she looked at him, ¡°Why do you disagree? Many of them agreed.¡± Peter hugged thedy in his arms tightly and said in a muffled voice, ¡°I just disagree with it. Change taking off a piece of clothing¡¯ to something else.¡± ¡°I want to y that. Peter, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re afraid you¡¯ll lose to us,¡± Keh taunted, his face showing a hint of mockery. Peter squinted slightly as he arrogantly said, ¡°Why would I be afraid of you? Why don¡¯t you look in the mirror? Who do you think you are?¡± ¡°You!¡± Felicity hurriedly eased the tension when she noticed the atmosphere turned fiery. ¡± Okay, okay. Let¡¯s vote. Whoever agrees that the punishment should be drinking and taking off a piece of clothing, raise your hand!¡± Suddenly, Keh, with his pair and the other two pairs beside him, raised their hands. Initially, the number of people who raised their hands and those who did not was equal, but Keh threatened Marshall with his eyes. So, Marshall waspelled to cowardly raise his hand under Keh¡¯s coercion. Felicity looked around. She smiled as she said, ¡°The side with the most votes wins. It¡¯s decided. The game starts now!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 970 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 970 Chapter 970 Lost The attendant quickly finished shuffling the cards and distributed them. Peter gazed icily at Keh as if he had locked him as his opponent. In an instant, the attendant had dealt out the cards. All six men picked up their cards. Meanwhile, the women sitting beside them leaned closer to look at the cards Kisa nced at the cards in Marshall¡¯s hands and immediately felt her heart sink. ¡®His highest card is only an Ace! There are two decks of cards, so where did the four Kings and eight 2¡¯s go? Marshall¡¯s cards look like a phone number; looking at them gives me a headache,¡¯ thought Kisa. Meanwhile, Jolina stared at Peter¡¯s card, unblinking. ¡®Jolina¡¯s face is all scrunched up; Peter must not have good cards either,¡¯ thought Kisa. Kisa turned to look at Keh. He and the woman next to him both had smug expressions. ¡®Looks like they have good cards,¡¯ she thought. Then, she nced at Ronald. Ronald was staring coolly at the cards in his hands. He looked as still as a statue. Felicity was calm and did not even bother looking at Ronald¡¯s cards. Instead, she sat aside and drank her alcohol. ¡°Alright. The person with three of Diamonds starts.¡± ¡°Me, me, me¡­ I¡¯ll start.¡± Marshall eximed in excitement while throwing out a 3. Based on ascending order, Keh¡¯s turn was next. ¡°Pair of Queens!¡± ¡®Tsk. He threw out a pair of Queens at the very beginning. It seems like Keh has some strong cards,¡¯ thought Kisa. She looked at Marshall¡¯s cards worriedly and felt her heart sink momentarily. Nobody wanted Keh¡¯s pair of Queens, so he threw another card out, ¡°Chain!¡± Almost half of his cards are gone, it¡¯s no wonder he¡¯s so smug,¡¯ thought Kisa. She nced at the chain and turned back to Marshall¡¯s cards. Sigh! We can¡¯t afford to take them, she thought. ¡°Bomb!¡± Ronald also threw out his cards. His cards were coincidentally stacked on top of Keh¡¯s Keh snorted and threw out two more cards, ¡®Rocket!¡± Well, Keh lucked out, thought Kisa. Nobody wanted Keh¡¯s chain, so he threw out a four-of-a-kind. Then, he no longer. had any cards left. There were only five yers left in the game. Ronald was the second to finish the game, and Peter was the third. Now, there were only three yers left. If another person finished next, the game would end, and the two losers would need to receive their punishments. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Kisa quietly counted the cards in Marshall¡¯s hands. Thank God. He has less than ten cards; there are only eight. As long as we don¡¯t need to strip, I¡¯m okay with any amount of alcohol,¡¯ thought Kisa. As expected, Keh and the other man lost. Keh had six cards left, while the other man had three. The attendant beside them had prepared the alcohol long ago. Without wasting any time, Kisa grabbed six sses of alcohol herself. Meanwhile, the other woman dawdled. She took three sses of alcohol and took her time to finish them. The second round started soon after. Luck was still on Keh¡¯s side. Once again, he got good cards and finished his cards after a few turns. On the other hand, Marshall was still thest ce. However, Peter lost this round. He was one card away from finishing his cards. Peter was incredibly irritated. He red at the attendant, ¡°Get someone else to do it. What kind of cards did you get me? My highest card was only Queen, while the rest of my cards looked like a string of phone numbers. Do you think I could get a chain with that? Are you messing with me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, Mr. Webb. I¡¯ll¡­ I¡¯ll get someone else to do it!¡± The attendant was terrified and quickly ran away. Keh snorted smugly, ¡°Your card-ying skills are poor yet you¡¯re ming others; how hrious.¡± ¡°Fine. Just you wait,¡± Peter narrowed his eyes icily. Felicity pursed her lips. ¡°Alright, alright. Let¡¯s continue. It should get better this round since we¡¯ve changed our attendant. However, you still need to get your punishment,¡± she said. Then, she handed Jolina a ss of alcohol. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 971 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 971 Chapter 971 How Many Times Can You Strip? The alcohol Felicity handed Jolina was different from Kisa¡¯s; it was a cider with rtively low alcohol content. Seeing how it was a cider, Peter did not say anything. Even though Jolina did not drink, she had participated in the game and understood that the losers needed to receive punishment. And so, she grabbed the cider and downed it. However, she could not help but feel a little resentment toward the man beside her. ¡®If he hadn¡¯t dragged me in here, I wouldn¡¯t have gotten involved in this game,¡¯ thought Jolina. Compared to Jolina, Kisa¡¯s situation was miserable. In the second round, Marshall had six cards left, so Kisa had no choice but to quietly down another six sses of alcohol. Keh watched as Kisa downed the alcohol. Suddenly, he turned to Felicity and sighed, ¡°Earlier on, you should¡¯ve set the rules to five cards. If the person whoesst has five cards left, thedy in their group will have to strip!¡± Felicity busted out augh, ¡°Do you want to see Ms. Becker strip that badly? Aren¡¯t you afraid of Ms. Kooper killing you?¡± Kisa¡¯s face flushed; half of it was because of the alcohol, while the other half was from embarrassment and anger. ¡®Felicity is very blunt with her words,¡¯ she thought. Keh snorted icily, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of him. Besides, it¡¯s a game, so losers need to receive punishment.¡± ¡°What a willing loser!¡¯ Right after Keh spoke, an icy voice promptly roared. Everyone turned to look at the door. It was Gilbert. He walked toward them. The man had an intimidating expression and a fierce look in his eyes. His overwhelming presence instantly made the entire room fall silent. Kisa frowned. ¡®Why¡¯d Gilbert show up out of the blue?¡¯ she wondered. Kisa nced at Felicity out of reflex. However, Felicity was staring at Davian, who was standing behind Gilbert. There was a yful smile on her red, seductive lips. ¡®Tsk. Felicity must¡¯ve asked the two of them toe,¡¯ Kisa thought. He red at the slightly flushed woman and snorted, ¡°You seem like you¡¯re having a good time, hmm?¡± Kisa threw him an awkward smile and did not respond. Suddenly, Felicity stood up and threw herself onto Davian. Davian frowned and wanted to dodge her, but he missed. In the end, he had no choice but to let the woman lean her body against his. Ronald nced at the two, and his gaze darkened. Felicity smiled at Gilbert while holding a ss cup, ¡°We¡¯re ying a fun game; care to join us?¡± Then, she exined the game rules and punishment to Gilbert. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert¡¯s expression instantly darkened. He turned to re at Kisa with his dark eyes,¡± You agreed to the punishment of stripping?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Aww. Don¡¯t take things so seriously; it¡¯s just a game!¡± Felicity leaned toward Gilbert with a smile. However, she did not expect him to promptly fling her aside. The woman stumbled momentarily. Fortunately, Ronald caught her. Felicity red at Gilbert furiously, ¡°What was that for? We didn¡¯t ask her to take anything off!¡± Gilbert ignored her. Instead, he red at Kisa angrily, ¡°Are you wearing manyyers? How many times can you strip?¡± ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± When Kisa noticed his evident anger, she could help but tug on his shirt sleeve,¡± Don¡¯t be mad; I only drank a little.¡± ¡°How many sses?¡± ¡°Just¡­ Just twelve.¡± Gilbert took a deep breath and turned to Marshall icily. Marshall was frightened by his gaze and took a few steps back. Then, he lowered his gaze and did not dare to speak. Kisa felt bad for Marshall. ¡®It¡¯s not like he lost on purpose. He¡¯s just not good at the game, and he got bad cards,¡¯ she thought. Kisa tugged on Gilbert¡¯s shirt sleeve again. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 972 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 972 Chapter 972 Really Something! ¡°Alright, stop it. You¡¯re scaring them.¡± Gilbert snorted, ¡°Your eyesight is questionable, Kisa. You paired up with a rookie!¡± Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Hearing Gilbert¡¯s words, Marshall lowered his head further. He was too embarrassed to make a retort. Suddenly, Kehughed sardonically, ¡°It seems like Mr. Kooper is good at card games. Are you interested in a friendly match? We¡¯ll y the same game and see if you can even the score for Kisa this round!¡± Gilbert gazed at him icily and snorted, ¡°Do you actually want to have a match with me?¡± Keh took a puff of his cigarette. Then, heughed arrogantly, ¡°Sigh! We yed two rounds, and I was the first to finish my cards in both rounds. They¡¯re all noobs, so the game isn¡¯t challenging at all. So Mr. Kooper, do give me the honor of ying a few rounds with you.¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± Peter snorted in disdain right after Keh spoke. ¡°You speak as if you¡¯re really skilled. You just got good cards. With those cards of yours, even an idiot would win if they yed.¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Felicityughed. She continued, ¡°Peter¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Hah. After a friendly match with me, Mr. Kooper will know if it¡¯s pure luck or not. I¡¯m just worried that Mr. Kooper doesn¡¯t have the guts to do so.¡± To Gilbert, hearing Peter¡¯s words was like listening to a joke. He sat down next to Kisa and turned to the attendant beside them, ¡°Alright. Shuffle and distribute the cards.¡± Their attendant had been switched to someone else. Peter gritted his teeth. ¡®I refuse to believe that I¡¯ll get bad cards again,¡¯ he thought. Meanwhile, Jolina had lost all confidence in him. All she hoped for was that he would notest. Keh casually smoked a cigarette while leaning against a chair with an arrogant look on his face. Ronald remained as still as a statue. Felicity remained seated beside Davian and drank her alcohol. Davian kept on ncing at Felicity. The more he looked at her, the more he found her an eyesore. ¡®She¡¯s bold and has plenty of handsome men around her, so why won¡¯t she leave me alone? While I do bear a lot of responsibility for that absurd night, she¡¯s also responsible. After all, she was the one who made me drink. No matter how I look at it, this woman seems experienced and has been with many men. She¡¯s definitely trying to mess with me; that¡¯s why she won¡¯t leave me alone,¡¯ he thought. The more Davian thought about it, the angrier he felt. Even his gaze at Felicity started to grow unfriendly. Naturally, Felicity noticed his gaze. She could not help but side-eye him, ¡°What¡¯re you looking at? Now that we¡¯ve done the deed, you don¡¯t recognize me anymore?¡± Since Kisa was absorbed in looking at the cards in Gilbert¡¯s hands, she was startled when she heard Felicity yell so abruptly. ¡®Felicity¡¯s really something! There are so many people here, both men and women, yet she had the guts to say something that direct. She doesn¡¯t even care about the damage to her reputation,¡¯ she thought. Davian flushed with anger and was speechless. Ronald red at Davian with a frown. His handsome face gradually darkened. ¡°Don¡¯t say such things so carelessly in the future, Felicity.¡± Ronald took the ss in Felicity¡¯s hand and said in resignation, ¡°You must¡¯ve had too much to drink; you¡¯re starting to bber.¡± ¡°Ah! It¡¯s just a joke. Nobody¡¯s asking you all to take those words seriously.¡± Felicity giggled and leaned onto Ronald, ¡°Alright. Let me take a look at your cards.¡± Davian red at Felicity furiously. He was so angry the corner of his eyes turned red. ¡®What kind of person did Mr. Kooper set me up with? Seriously!¡¯ he thought. Meanwhile, Gilbert frowned and nced at Davian as if he heard his thoughts. His gaze at Davian seemed to say, ¡°You¡¯re ming me when you can¡¯t handle her?!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 973 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 973 Chapter 973 I¡¯ll Take Revenge for You! Davian was so frustrated he simply lowered his head and kept quiet. Seeing his crestfallen and wronged expression, Kisaughed in amusement. A momentter, she looked at Gilbert¡¯s cards. ¡®It seems like Gilbert doesn¡¯t have good luck either. The cards he got aren¡¯t much betterpared to Marshall¡¯s cards earlier on. His highest card is a King,¡¯ she thought. Then, she nced at Keh. Keh was looking at his own cards with a smug, icy smile. Kisa was speechless. ¡®Why¡¯s luck still on his side when we¡¯ve already changed to another attendant? With that luck of his, he should buy some lottery tickets. Peter has a deep frown, and Jolina¡¯s little face is still scrunched up. I¡¯m guessing they also didn¡¯t get good cards. Even though we got another attendant to shuffle the cards, it seems like the situation isn¡¯t that different from just now,¡¯ she thought. Kisa nced at the alcohol beside them. ¡®While the alcohol content of these drinks isn¡¯t that high, one will still get drunk if they drink a lot of it,¡¯ she thought again. Gilbert peered at her gloomy expression and said coolly, ¡°You¡¯re afraid now? Then you shouldn¡¯t have yed from the start!¡± ¡®I never expected this woman would enjoying to ces like this. What more ying such a game with this many men!¡¯ he thought. The more Gilbert thought about it, the angrier he felt. Kisa gazed at his dark expression and smiled awkwardly, ¡°Try to make your cardsst as long as possible. I don¡¯t want to strip.¡± Once again, Gilbert was furious when he heard her bring up the phrase ¡°strip.¡± ¡®If I didn¡¯te and that rookie had ten cards left, wouldn¡¯t that mean she¡¯d have to strip for real? And she¡¯s only wearing a short-sleeved white shirt. Those men would¡¯ve seen her with nothing on if she had to strip. I can¡¯t believe she had the guts to y this game!¡¯ he thought. Gilbert gritted his teeth and red at the woman beside him, ¡°Just you watch. I¡¯m not like that rookie. I won¡¯t let you drink a single ss of alcohol, let alone strip!¡± Kisa kept quiet as she listened to him talk big. ¡®With those cards of yours? I don¡¯t think so,¡¯ she thought. However, Gilbert demonstrated that having bad cards was one thing, and having bad skills was something different. Surprisingly, Gilbert did notest this round. He was the third to finish his cards. On the other hand, Peter was a little unfortunate. Without Marshall around, he became thest ce instead. However, he did not have many cards left, only four. Jolina red at him. She was close to tears, ¡°Do you know how to y or not?¡± Peter was furious at her skepticism, ¡°What do you mean do I know how to y or not? You saw it. The cards were too shitty.¡± Felicityughed quietly beside them, ¡°Alright, stop fighting. Let¡¯s start the next round. Then, she handed Jolina four sses of cider. Even though ciders had low alcohol content, two or three sses of it were enough to make Jolina, someone who did not drink at all,pletely flushed. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Peter peered at Jolina¡¯s ufortable expression as she drank the ciders. He felt angry and panicked. ¡®Damn it. I must¡¯ve stepped on sh*t today for my luck to be this bad,¡¯ he thought. They started a new round. Kisa initially had given up on Gilbert¡¯s cards. However, she immediately brightened and sat up once she saw two Kings among his cards. ¡®Two Kings and four 2¡¯s! Wow!¡¯ thought Kisa. Kisa¡¯s eyes instantly widened in excitement. Gilbert nced at her in amusement. Then, he leaned into her ear and whispered, ¡± Sit back and watch. I¡¯ll take revenge for you!¡± Felicity peered at Kisa¡¯s overjoyed expression and grinned at her, ¡°Oh my. It seems like Mr. Kooper had a change of look. Look at that beam of yours. I can imagine Mr. Kooper must have some good cards.¡± Hearing this, Peter turned sharply to look at Gilbert and Kisa. Gilbert had a calm expression. On the other hand, Kisa could not hide the smile on her face. Peter lowered his gaze and nced at his cards. ¡®F*ck!¡¯ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 974 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 974 Chapter 974 I¡¯ll Make You Pay When We Get Home! ¡®What the hell is this?¡¯ Peter thought again. He red at his cards which looked like a string of phone numbers. He was so furious the veins on his forehead bulged. Jolina peered at his cards and cried in anger, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have paired up with you!¡± ¡°Then which man do you want to pair which?¡± Peter red at her and gritted his teeth furiously. ¡°Anyone would be better than you,¡± Jolina replied in a soft, choked voice. Her eyes. reddened. Peter inhaled angrily. Then he said through gritted teeth, ¡°Just you wait. I won¡¯t do anything to you since there are many people here. I¡¯ll make you pay when we get home!¡± Peter spoke in an extraordinarily fierce tone. Jolina trembled, and the tears welled up in her eyes instantly trickled down. She bit her bottom lip and roared, ¡°You¡¯re a monster!¡± Then, the two of them ignored each other. Jolina lowered her angrily while Peter red at his cards furiously. ¡®I don¡¯t believe it. If Gilbert could turn things around, so can I!¡¯ thought Peter. Gilbert casually nced at Keh. Keh, who was acting arrogant just now, now had a deep frown. He was ring at his cards as if he were looking at his enemy. When the woman beside him tried to seduce him, he pushed her away in annoyance. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Ronald smiled slightly, ¡°Alright. It¡¯s my turn to start this round. I have both three of Diamond cards.¡± Felicity was drinking. When she heard Ronald¡¯s words, she immediately leaned closer. to him. The two of them were super close to each other. Felicity¡¯s chest was practically pressed against Ronald¡¯s arm. ¡°Wow, you have good cards! Do a chain first!¡± Davian red at Felicity in a rage. His eyes med with anger. ¡®I¡¯m angry not because she¡¯s being so close to another man; I¡¯m angry because she¡¯s a female Casanova, yet she keeps on flirting with me and won¡¯t leave me alone,¡¯ he thought. The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt. He leaned over to Gilbert and whispered, ¡°Mr. Kooper, it¡¯s really stuffy here. I¡¯m going outside. Let me know if you need anything!¡± Gilbert looked at him weirdly, ¡°Is it stuffy?¡± ¡®This room is huge, and not many people are smoking right now. There are even two opened windows. If this is considered stuff, wouldn¡¯t the lobby be the same? There are even more people outside,¡¯ thought Gilbert. Kisa nced in Felicity¡¯s direction. A momentter, she smiled at Gilbert, ¡°He¡¯s feeling stuffy inside, so let him go outside.¡± Gilbert also nced at Felicity momentarily. Then, he nodded and said to Davian,¡± Alright, you can go.¡± Just as Davian took two steps outside, Felicity suddenly called out to him. ¡°Where are you going, you yer?¡± Davian frowned deeply. He hated this form of address she gave him. ¡®No matter how I look at it, she¡¯s the one who¡¯s a yer!¡¯ he thought. Felicity walked up to Davian and yanked him over. Davian protested in disdain, ¡°What¡¯re you doing?¡± Felicity took Ronald¡¯s cards. Then, she stuffed them into Davian¡¯s hands, ¡°y two rounds.¡± Ronald frowned a little and looked slightly displeased. However, he did not say anything and moved aside to make space for Davian. Davian looked reluctant, ¡°I don¡¯t know how to y this game! You guys can y among yourselves!¡± ¡°HA-HA! You¡¯re a joke. How could you call yourself a man if you don¡¯t know how to y this game? Did you really think having three legs would be enough?¡± Once again, Kisa choked after hearing Felicity¡¯s words. ¡®Felicity¡¯s bluntness is really something amazing,¡¯ she thought. Davian flushed at Felicity¡¯s words. He growled at her furiously, ¡°Shut your mouth!¡± Felicity leaned onto the chair seductively, ¡°I could shut my mouth if you y!¡± Davian was furious. He turned to Gilbert with a pleading look. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 975 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 975 Chapter 975 You¡¯re Still The Best, Mr. Kooper! Yet Gilbert was still treated as if he could not see him. He kept arranging the cards in his hand. Keh was already impatient and could not help but shout at Davian,¡± y a card quickly. Don¡¯t be pretentious, like a woman.¡± Davian harshly red at him once, then threw 4 tens out of anger. Felicity could not even stop him even if she wanted to. Ultimately, she angrily gave him a p on the back of his head. ¡°Do you really not know how to y or are you doing it on purpose, eh? In this game, whoever runs the fastest, then whoever would win. You instead threw 4 tens for no reason. What about your remaining cards? What happens to your leftover straight?¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. ¡°I already said I don¡¯t know how to y!¡± Davian huffed angrily. Felicity responded with a single word, ¡°Stupid!¡± Gilbert slowly pulled out 4 twos, ¡°Full suppression!¡± Besides the Jokers, no one could y with 4 twos. Whereas Gilbert already had a pair of jokers. The other two jokers had a high probability of being separated. Indeed, no one could beat the 4 twos. Gilbert threw another straight out again. Jolina saw that Gilbert had a few cards left. She then looked at Peter¡¯s hand. There was almost not a card yed. She red at Peter with disdain, ¡°Later, if there is a need to take off clothes, you take them off. Anyhow, I¡¯m not stripping!¡± ¡°Rx, you won¡¯t be stripping here even if you needed to strip,¡± Peter huffed through gritted teeth. His tone wasced with obscenity. Jolina took a deep breath out of anger. Both of her hands tightly dug into the table. surface. Davian¡¯s hand had only a single straight, and it was the smallest straight. He could not escape it; however, he tried. Ronald secretly shook his head by the side, ¡®If the hand was not given to this fool, he wouldn¡¯t lose in this round.¡¯ This round, Gilbert was the first to run out of cards. Hezily leaned into the chair and looked at Kisa, ¡°What do you think? Did I not say that you wouldn¡¯t need to drink even a cup of alcohol?¡± Kisa looked back at him with a smile, ¡°Mhm, you¡¯re still the best, Mr. Kooper!¡± On the side, Marshall listened on and hung his head in disappointment while thinking, ¡®I really did not lose on purpose. The hand was just awful.¡± Keh was the fourth to finish, and finally, Davian and Peter were the ones who lost. If it was not for Davian throwing the wrong cards, the one who would have lost would be Keh. Davian was left with 6 cards. Felicity picked up the alcohol and said to Davian with despise, ¡°Idiot! I¡¯ll teach you when we go back!¡± ¡°No need!¡± Davian said while huffing in anger. On the other hand, Peter was left with only a single card. When counting the cards, Jolina¡¯s heart was tensed up. Keh and the other gentlemen were staring diligently at Jolina, as if she had already started stripping. Jolina was on pins and needles from their stares. ¡°Oh no, Peter still had 9 cards in his hand.¡± Once she heard 9 cards, she immediately let out a sigh of relief. The other few men clicked their tongues in disappointment. Felicity could not help but stifle a chuckle, ¡°If you all want to see woman strip so badly, then you should all not win. Don¡¯t y even a card. When you lose, your group of women would have to take off their clothes. Just watch whoever strips.¡± ¡°Sigh, Felicity, look what you¡¯re saying. Then the game would not have any meaning.¡± Felicity gave out a chuckle and ignored the gentlemen. She counted a total of 9 sses of alcohol and pushed them toward Jolina while saying, ¡°Forgive me, youngdy. If you want to me someone, then me the men in your group for being too useless!¡± ¡°Say that one more freaking time!¡± Peter mmed the table while raising his seat. Kisa massaged her forehead in resignation and said to Peter, ¡°Alright, Mr. Webb. Don¡¯t be angry. Let¡¯s start the next round. Your luck will definitely turn around next round.¡± Gilbert furrowed his brow and looked at the woman beside him, disgruntled. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 976 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 976 Chapter 976 Who She Truly Liked She seemed especially concerned about Peter. He had not forgotten the few pictures just now. Kisa was trying to impress this man so badly in the photo and even held his hand tightly. He suddenly remembered the time back at the production set. She treated Peter very differently, and at one time, she even grabbed Peter¡¯s hand. As he thought about this, his gaze darkened. He felt like he understood Kisa less and less. He could not figure out who she truly liked deep down in her heart. Another round of the game came. Gilbert still was the first one to win. Davian, under the guidance of Felicity and Ronald, was the second to finish throwing his cards. Davian was like a silly big oaf. As the second person to finish his hand, he was happy beyond reason. Davian sat there with a constant silly grin and even said that this game style was quite fun. Ronald gave him a nce with a face filled with disdain. He could not figure out why Felicity would be so concerned about this type of fool. In this round, the yers who lost were Peter and Keh. ¡°F*ck!¡± Peter threw his cards onto the table with a loud yell. ¡°I¡¯m not ying anymore. These cards are fishy!¡± Felicity retrieved the cards that Peter threw onto the table while grinning. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to y, that¡¯s okay. The punishment still counts, okay?¡± Felicity said and counted his remaining cards excitedly, ¡°Oh ho, seven cards. Another seven cups of alcohol.¡± Felicity snickered quietly and pushed the seven cups of alcohol to Jolina, ¡°You have to thank me for letting you drink cider. If not, a pure white flower such as you would have probably been ckout drunk.¡± Jolina gave a bitter nce at Peter, then picked up the cider and started drinking. Peter saw this, and deep down in his heart, he felt ufortable. He was about to pick the cider and help her drink it. Felicity suddenly said, ¡°It can¡¯t be drunk by you. The agreed-upon rules cannot be broken, or else the others would refuse toply.¡± Jolina also did not want Peter to drink for her. She snatched the wine ss swiftly and drank it by herself. Felicity then circled around to Keh again. Keh, with his face filled with uneasiness and tightly cupped his hand of cards in his hands. Felicity snickered, ¡°Do you want me to count them for you, or do you want count them yourself?¡± Keh angrily gritted her teeth, ¡°I¡¯ll count them myself!¡± ¡°One, two, three¡­ ten, eleven!¡± ¡°Ha-ha, Keh actually has eleven cards.,¡± the gentlemen surrounded them, and the woman immediately roared inughter. ¡°ying up until now, I¡¯ve never seen someone lose so badly. Keh, where¡¯s your might and power?!¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. ¡°Shut it!¡± Keh gave them a sideways nce, then red at the woman beside him, ¡°What are you waiting for? Strip!¡± ¡°This¡­¡± The woman was wearing a sexy slip-dress. After taking off her dress, only her underwear would be left on. Some malicious yboys around them stared at her with gleaming eyes. They would not stop heckling and teasing. The woman was also quite open and started to strip right in front of their faces. Besides Gilbert, all the men excitedly peeped at the woman. Davian even had his eyes glued to it. Kisa saw his face and felt that it was hrious. ¡®Could Davian actually be a pervert? He sure doesn¡¯t look like one!¡¯ Kisa thought. Felicity walked over in a few steps and covered Davian¡¯s eyes with a swift move. She closed into his ears and huffed softly, ¡°Why? Doesn¡¯t my body look better than hers?¡± Davian angrily pried open her hands, ¡°What are you up to again?¡± ¡°Not doing anything at all!¡± Felicity sneered, ring at him, ¡°If you dare to look again, I¡¯ll w your eyeballs out.¡± Davian was speechless,¡¯ Keh took her by the shoulder and tried to calm her down. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, Felicity. Being angry at perverts like these is not worth it.¡± Davian still could not respond, standing there speechless. ¡°¡­¡± ¡®Pervert? I was merely shocked that she would actually take off her clothes right in front of so many people. Why am I being treated as a pervert?¡¯ Davian thought. Everyone roared withughter, and the scene turned into a noisymotion. However, at this moment, Gilbert suddenly stood up and dragged Kisa toward the exit. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 977 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 977 Chapter 977 Fooling Around Everywhere ¡°What are you doing, Gilbert?¡± Kisa cried out in shock. But the man did not acknowledge her and bossily dragged her to walk out of the room. Kisa gave his cold, stiff silhouette a nce. It was apparent that Gilbert was angry. She just couldn¡¯t figure out how she had provoked him again. The hall did not have many people. Gilbert pulled her along toward the entrance of the elevator. Just as they walked to the elevator¡¯s entrance, the elevator doors opened. From inside walked out a dirty, wretched-looking old man who seemed like a beggar. Behind the man followed a bodyguard. Kisa was puzzled, ¡®I thought only people with wealth and status could enter this building? How could this kind of person also enter, and even go directly to the most luxurious floor?¡¯ While thinking about it, a wave of discussion suddenly emanated quietly from the two stewards on the side. ¡°Oh, why would Mr. Tanner look for this disgusting old man to alwayse over? What does Mr. Tanner want to do?¡± ¡°Who knows? But it must be something good. Thest time that dirty, disgusting man left, Mr. Tanner¡¯s face was glowing with pleasure. It would seem Mr. Tanner brought him over because he had something good for Mr. Tanner.¡± Kisa scrunched her brows, ¡®What could someone like Adrien Tanner want with such a dirty beggar? What kind of thing can a beggar do that a bodyguard can¡¯t?¡¯ Just as she was deep in thought, a colossal force suddenly pulled her whole body into the elevator. Due to it being too sudden, she stumbled and directly crashed into Gilbert¡¯s embrace. His chest was too hard, and she felt her head in pain from the crash. Besides that, possibly from all the alcohol she had drank, Kisa¡¯s head was still slightly drowsy. She lifted her head with furrowed eyebrows and met Gilbert¡¯s cold, cruel eyes, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you again?¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and refrained from speaking with a glum expression. Kisa leaned on his body and said with a grin, ¡°You really like to be angry. Every day, you have this angry, huffing face.¡± ¡°How can you not tell why I¡¯m angry?¡± Gilbert finally opened his mouth, and his deep voice contained a suppressed rage. Kisa looked at him innocently, ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me, how would I know?¡± Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert stared back at her. The anger in his heart made him feel like punching a cotton pillow. ¡®This woman really is heartless. I¡¯m jealous and angry, yet she¡¯s still acting as if nothing¡¯s wrong. As if she only cares about having as much fun as she can. The elevator door opened. Gilbert dragged her and rushed out. His legs were long with wide strides. Kisa was dragged along and struggled to keep up. With much difficulty, they walked to the side of the car. Without saying a word, he pressed her onto the car door and started kissing her. Gilbert¡¯s kiss was dominating and rushed while carrying a sense of punishment. Kisa was made very ufortable by him. She dodged and scrunched her brows,¡± Seriously, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± ¡°Do you have feelings for Peter again?¡± Kisa was stunned. ¡®This man¡¯s thought process is so weird. I don¡¯t think I even talked with Peter in front of him. What on earth made him think I like Peter all of a sudden?¡¯ Gilbert stared at her and said with clenched teeth, ¡°Why do I feel you like you¡¯re a ygirl, fooling around everywhere?¡± First, there was Howard, then Jensen. Now it was Peter. She seemed to have good luck with men. Facing Gilbert¡¯s wrath, Kisa could only smile and not exin. ¡°If I¡¯m a ygirl, then doesn¡¯t that make you a bona fide yboy? There are countless women who have had scandals with you!¡± ¡°But I only treat you seriously! While you, who have you been serious with?¡± ¡®Only treat me seriously?¡¯ Kisa chuckled as if she had just heard a joke. Looking at Kisa¡¯s uncaring and nonchnt attitude, Gilbert flew into a rage and began kissing her roughly on the lips again¡­ ¡°Ah!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 978 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 978 Chapter 978 You¡¯re Such A Busybody! Once Felicity walked out of the club, she saw Gilbert kissing Kisa harshly while Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. pressing her onto the car door. She immediately cried out in excitement and even whistled tauntingly. Seeing her walk toward the both of them, Davian hurriedly pulled her back by her arms, ¡°That¡¯s enough. You shouldn¡¯t interrupt my boss, Mr. Kooper, and his madam. You¡¯re such a busybody!¡± Felicity pouted her red lips and said with discontent, ¡°I just wanted to see how they kiss so I can learn from them a little. How am I being a busybody?¡± ¡°You still need to learn how to kiss?¡± Davian gave a pretentious smile and huffed,¡± Doesn¡¯t kissing come naturally to professionals like you? Your kissing might be even better than anyone else!¡± ¡°Oh! How would you know? Want to try it?¡± Felicity said as she hung onto his neck and acted as if closing onto his lips. Davian quickly took her hands off, ¡°That¡¯s enough. Can¡¯t you be more decent? Don¡¯t be just like a whore.¡± ¡°Heh, after having sex with me, you just pull up your pants and don¡¯t even recognize me now?¡± Felicity hummed icily. ¡°I wonder who the one that acted as if never seen a woman before was? The pure ruthlessness seemed like you wanted to desperately break me. Now you have the audacity to call me a whore?¡± Davian was stunned while his face flushed red, ¡°That time didn¡¯t count. It was the alcohol¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re just a shameless lewd man yourself. Don¡¯t me the alcohol,¡± Felicity seemed outraged. She sneered and walked toward her car. Seeing her wobbly figure, Davian secretly gritted his teeth and still rushed to hold onto her. Kisa was dizzy from Gilbert¡¯s kisses. From the corner of her eyes, she suddenly saw Peter forcefully push Jolina into a car. Remembering Jolina not liking Peter and Jolina always treated as a sister to depend on. Besides, Jolina had originally wanted to go back with Kisa earlier. However, she was being dragged forcefully into the car by Peter again. If. something were to happen, then she¡­ Secretly thinking about it in her mind, she hastily shoved Gilbert off her and walked toward Peter in a rush. She wanted to snatch Jolina from Peter. However, before she had yet to take two steps, Gilbert suddenly hugged her waist and pulled her back with a move. ¡°Where do you want to go? Hm?¡± ¡°No¡­ It¡¯s Peter. He is about to go. He and Jolina¡­¡± Kisa was so anxious she could not speak clearly. Gilbert¡¯s face instantly turned stormy, ¡®It was Peter again?! She actually was in a rush to pursue Peter!¡¯ Kisa kept focusing on the situation at Peter¡¯s side and did not notice the man¡¯s expression before her suddenly turning ruthless and scary. She pushed Gilbert¡¯s chest, ¡°You let go of me quickly. They are about to go.¡± Instead, Gilbert¡¯s tall frame was like a mountain blocking in front of her, not budging even slightly. Seeing Peter start his car and bringing Jolina away. Kisa frustratingly gave Gilbert¡¯s chest a punch, ¡°They¡¯ve left. It¡¯s all your fault!¡± Gilbert mped onto her wrist with a grab and red at her ruthlessly, ¡°My fault? My fault for stopping to pursue another man?¡± ¡°Urgh!¡± Kisa met his ruthless gaze and wanted to say something. He, however, suddenly opened the passenger seat door and stuffed her into the car. ¡°I¡¯ll punish you properly when we get back!¡± Gilbert glumly growled out, then circled around the hood of the car and swiftly got into the car. At this moment, the effect of the alcoholpletely kicked in. Kisa only felt her head spinning. She was even seeing double when looking at people. She leaned back into the chair, sick, and shut her eyes while not wanting to talk. ¡®If Gilbert wants to misunderstand, then let him misunderstand, since this rtionship is just a part of my scheme anyway. The angrier he is, the more he cares and the more jealous he gets. This shows that Gilbert has already slowly fallen into my emotional trap.¡¯ Of course, what that meant was that he genuinely cared and was indeed jealous! BANG! Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 979 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 979 Chapter 979 Destroyed Together The man kicked open the front door of the vi. Peter held onto the still-struggling Jolina while walking in with giant strides. ¡°Let go of me. Peter, you monster. Let go of me!¡± Jolina still cursed without care. The cider she drank finally had taken effect. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. The effects of the alcohol were kicking in, giving her a lot of courage. She no longer feared this man. Instead, she kicked and punched him, fighting tooth and nail. Peter was upset and threw Jolina onto the floor. Then with a stretch of his extended arm turned on the lights in the living room. The vast vi was empty, with no one in sight. Peter stared coldly at the woman on the floor. He had wanted this woman to move here many times, but she would notply and even cursed him. Peter treated her so well. Whatever she wanted, he would give it to her. Yet he could not understand why Jolina still hated him this way. Toward love and affection, she would always not. Although the floor was carpeted, fewer clothes were worn in the summer. Jolina¡¯s body was hurt from the drop. She held onto her elbow and got up from the floor. Her eyes were red, and she stubbornly stared at Peter, ¡°You¡¯re just a cruel animal!¡± ¡°Say that one more time!¡± Peter initially tried his best to suppress his rage, but Jolina¡¯s curses still brought all his anger out. His eyes were red with anger. His cruel expression made it seem like he wanted to break the woman into pieces and devour her whole. While at this moment, Jolina was numb from the alcohol and was not scared of him at all. She just wanted to release all the hate and resentment for him that she had hidden inside her heart for so long. She tightly gripped both her hands and roared at him, ¡°I said, you¡¯re just a cruel and ruthless animal, you¡­ ugh¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Peter suddenly grabbed her throat. ¡°You say I¡¯m an animal. Alright, then I should do something that¡¯s worthy of this horrible name you¡¯ve given me, no?¡± Jolina¡¯s face was red from being choked and she could not even say a word. The man¡¯s cold smile slowly approached her¡­ The night was long and torturous for her! Once the second half of the night began, Jolina started hallucinating from the effects of the alcohol. Her unfocused eyes stared at Peter. Suddenly, she called out a person¡¯s name Hugh. Hugh! Hugh!¡± That was the man that trulyy deep down in her heart. Peter¡¯s cold gaze nced at the woman under him. He suddenly remembered Adrien¡¯s words, ¡°If you can¡¯t have it, destroy it!¡± He slightly squinted his eyes. His gaze filled with a horrifying chill. He would destroy it once that day came. Her and himself¡­ destroyed together! If she wanted him to grant her wish to be with that man, he would definitely not be able to do it. ¡°Let me go. I still want to drink. Let go of me!¡± Back in Gilbert & Kisa¡¯s house, Kisa was acting like a maniac, with a bottle of alcohol in one hand and a wine ss in the other while singing and stumbling around in the house. Gilbert could not stop her. Ultimately, he opted to lean on the wall to stare coldly at her. She had been like this since they returned. While they were in the car, it was fine as she had taken a nap. Yet once they had returned home, she had started her drunken mania. She had not stopped to rest at all, all the way until now. He had known all along that her behavior when drunk was terrible. He pinched the bridge of his sore nose, swearing to himself that he would never let her drink alcohol again. Originally, he had wanted to punish her a little once they came home. Looking at her in this state, he feared she was the one punishing him instead. He sighed silently. At this point, Gilbert couldn¡¯t be bothered to deal with her. He walked directly to the bathroom to take a shower. Since some of the dangerous items were in the living room. Gilbert had stored them away. Besides, he had purposely locked the front door. Since the woman wanted to go crazy, he would let her go crazy all she wanted. It was already one in the morning. After Gilbert took a shower, he went straight to his room to sleep. He had been working overtime these past few days in a row. Gilbert was already very exhausted. Now, he was being tormented by Kisa for half a night, so he practically fell asleep the moment he fell onto the bed. However, a heaviness suddenly materialized over him just as he fell into slumber.. 1/2 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 980 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 980 Chapter 980 In Wine, There Is Truth He opened his eyes with furrowed brows. What came into his view was Kisa¡¯s red face and her mysterious gaze. Kisa crushed him under her between the covers. She said to him with a grin, ¡°Wake up and y with me. You¡¯re not allowed to sleep!¡± Gilbert scrunched his eyebrows and turned to the side. He held the woman in his embrace with a smooth move, ¡°Stop fussing. I¡¯m exhausted. Go to sleep, behave!¡± When they just came back, he had helped her take a shower. Her body still had whiffs of alcohol and still smelled nice. He initially thought giving her a shower, she would sober up a little. Who knew she got even drunker. Gilbert really wanted to sleep. Yet the woman in his arms could not keep quiet. She struggled and moved around in his arms. She did not know where she had touched Gilbert. Gilbert opened his eyes with a swish. His keen eyes red at the woman in his embrace, ¡°Are you really not going to sleep?¡± Seeing Gilbert¡¯s eyes open, Kisa immediatelyughed out, ¡°Come, drink with me!¡± Gilbert did not actually want to drink alcohol. He had wanted to sleep. Who knew Kisa would not stay quiet in his arms. With just a few moves, something in his body was awakened. He stretched out his arms to hug Kisa¡¯s waist and looked at her intensely, ¡°You tell me truthfully, who do you like?¡± They say in wine, there is truth. Asking Kisa this time, she would likely answer truthfully. As long as she says that the one she likes is him. Then Gilbert would not be paranoid in the future. Gilbert thought this way as he gazed deeper at the woman in his arms, ¡°Say it. In your heart, who is the person you truly like?¡± ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± Kisa¡¯s gleaming pair of eyes stared at him without skipping a beat, ¡°The person I like the most is Gilbert.¡± Gilbert was slightly stunned. Then a glimmer of secret delight shed at the bottom of his heart. He gently held Kisa into his embrace, ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Mhm,¡± Kisa nodded her head, all well-behaved in his arms. Gilbert asked again worriedly, ¡°Then you don¡¯t like Peter?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t like!¡± ¡°Then what about Jensen?¡± ¡°I treat him like a brother,¡± hearing Kisa¡¯s reply, the bottom of Gilbert¡¯s heart stirred. He lightly pushed away the woman in his arms and looked at her with a hint of untrustworthiness, ¡°You¡­ really are drunk?¡± If she was not drunk, then she probably was purposefully saying these words to lull him. Gilbert was annoyed deep down in his heart. Since when did he have so little confidence in himself like this? ¡°I¡¯m not drunk!¡± Once Gilbert asked, Kisa immediately jumped out of his arms andughed while dancing about, ¡°I¡¯m not drunk. Come on, drink with me. Come on, drink. I still want to drink¡­¡± Looking at Kisa¡¯s tipsy expression, Gilbert could not help but give a muffled chuckle. It seemed she was genuinely drunk. Kisa jumped on the bed for a long time. Ultimately, she bent down to pull at Gilbert¡¯s hand, ¡°Get up. Don¡¯t sleep anymore. Drink with me. Come on, drink up¡­¡± Gilbert was so much bigger than her. There was no way she could ever move him with her strength, but she still tried to do so with all her strength, trying with all her will and effort. However, Gilbert still continued lying motionless on the bed like an unmoving mountain. She, on the other hand, due to the counteractive force, had thrown herself onto his body. She propped up her head and looked at the man under herzily and mysteriously, saying, ¡°Drink up, Gilbert. I haven¡¯t drunk enough yet!¡± Gilbert stared at her delicate corbone. His husky voice said with a smile, ¡°What fun is there in drinking? We can y something else.¡± Just as Gilbert was speaking, he held her and rolled over, directly pressing her under him¡­N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 981 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 981 Chapter 981 I¡¯ll Never Get Better ¡°You like me?¡± Gilbert stared at Kisa with a deep gaze and asked again, feeling diffident. Kisa nodded numbly. At that moment, Gilbert no longer doubted anything. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. He untied the straps on her nightgown with his huge hands. The Latin phrase, ¡°In vino veritas,¡± meaning ¡°In wine, there is truth,¡± was true. Kisa telling Gilbert that she liked him was the truth. However, no matter how deep her love for him was when they were younger, it could still not diminish the hatred she now had toward him, deep in her heart. The next day, Kisa felt like her head was about to explode when she woke. She struggled to get up, and only when the nket slipped off did she notice the hickeys on her body. She held onto her head in difort, trying to recall what had happenedst night. She had been in an entanglement with Gilbert for a long time. She vaguely remembered that Gilbert had asked her some questions, but she could not remember exactly what those questions had been. ¡®I hope he did not ask me about Jensen and the fire. Otherwise, there¡¯s a high chance that I would have truthfully expressed all my thoughts and hatred for him.¡¯ Kisa thumped her head in frustration. ¡®I can¡¯t get drunk in front of him next time. The alcohol tasted mild, but who knew it would be so strong,¡¯ she thought as she continued to suffer from a pounding headache. She then staggered into the living room after washing up. She found Gilbert had already cooked her a hangover meal that was on the dining table. There was also a note there. [Remember to eat up when you wake. I¡¯ll pick you up on set after you finish work today.] Kisa Igoked at the note in silence. She stared at the heavy handwriting on it, and the corners of her lips twitched indifferently. ¡®I guess he didn¡¯t ask me about those questions after all. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be so considerate today,¡¯ she thought. The hangover meal was still warm, which meant Gilbert had not been gone for long. Kisa took the food and ate it all in one bite. Lastly, she threw the note into the trash. Jolina, who was usually the most diligent of the cast, was thest one to arrive on set today. She was late by a full hour, and even the director scolded her. During their lunch break, Kisa found Jolina in a remote corner on set. She was staring nkly at the pond not far away. Jolina was only in her early twenties, but there was no sign of energy on her face at that moment. She even looked a little pale. Kisa quickly walked over and said, ¡°Jolina, are you okay?¡± Hearing Kisa¡¯s voice, Jolina turned her head like a robot and slowly collected her scattered gaze. After a while, Jolina smiled faintly at Kisa and replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Kisa sat beside her and found that there were bruises all over her wrists and elbows. The skin exposed around the cor of her shirt was also covered in red marks. Before this, she was not close with Jolina for her to ask about private matters. But now¡­ Kisa hurriedly grabbed Jolina¡¯s hand and anxiously asked, ¡°What happened? Was it Peter?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Jolina withdrew her hand and murmured. ¡°I fell.¡± After saying that, she looked down and stared at her toes again. It was as if she was trying to convince both herself and Kisa of that. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°It¡¯ll never get better, will it? I¡¯ll never get better,¡± she mumbled to herself. Kisa could not help but feel slightly distressed when she saw her like that. But as an outsider, she did not know how to help her. After filming was over in the evening, Jolina left in a hurry, as if she was trying to get away from Peter. Sure enough, as soon as she left, Peter appeared on set. The man¡¯s eyes were searching all over the set, and the look of anger slowly arose on his handsome face. Seeing the man walking toward the back door, Kisa sighed softly and hurriedly tailed him. 1 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 982 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 982 Chapter 982 Birthmark ¡°Stop, Jolina!¡± Peter roared at the thin figure running anxiously into the alley. Jolina was visibly trembling and almost fell to the ground. However, she did not look back and continued to run forward even faster. She was running away from him like the gue. Peter narrowed his eyes viciously and prepared to go after her. When Kisa saw that, she quickly rushed over to Peter to block his way. ¡°Don¡¯t! You¡¯ll ruin her!¡± Peter was stunned. He stopped and stared at Kisa with a pair of cold and prey-like eyes. ¡°Oh, I¡¯ll ruin her, you say? Shut your mouth. You don¡¯t know anything about us! Do you want to die?!¡± Peter had a horrible temper. At first, Kisa did not want to provoke him, but seeing the bruises on Jolina¡¯s body today made her feel pity for her. She looked at Peter and said, ¡°I know you like Jolina, but she does not feel the same way¡­¡± A violent look appeared on Peter¡¯s face when he heard that. ¡°Don¡¯t get angry. I¡¯m telling you the truth. She won¡¯t hide from you if she really likes you. If you want her to like you back, take your time and start small. Make a good impression. You¡¯ll only make her hate you even more if you keep on hurting her like this.¡± Peter did not take the advice. Instead, he justughed coldly, ¡°Who do you think you are? Who are you to educate me? Go away!¡± Peter frantically pushed Kisa aside when he saw Jolina about to get away. However, when he was about to take another step, Kisa stood in front of him once again. ¡°I¡¯m not trying to educate you. I¡¯m just¡­AH!¡± Before she could finish speaking, Peter violently grabbed her by the neck and pushed her against the wall. The man¡¯s grip was so strong that it felt worse than Gilbert¡¯s grip. At that short moment, Kisa felt as if she could not breathe, and her neck hurt so much that it felt like it was going to snap in half. Fear instantly rushed into Kisa¡¯s mind. She struggled in his arms, pulling his cor and sleeves. ¡°L-Let¡­ Let go¡­¡± The man in front of her, who seemed annoyed about what she had said earlier, was staring at her fiercely with a stern and cold look. ¡°You¡¯re so nosy. I¡¯m telling you, from now on, you better not meddle in our problems. Otherwise, I¡¯ll beat you to death!¡± After Peter finished his words, he forcefully tossed Kisa to the ground. Kisa was tugging on his cor because she was suffocating. Peter threw her so hard that she tore his shirt open. The buttons on his shirt fell off. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. Kisay on the ground and coughed violently. She could not help but feel afraid of the man in front of her. ¡®He is way more terrifying and aggressive than Gilbert,¡¯ she thought. ¡®No wonder Jolina is so afraid of him and loathes him so much. He almost killed me.¡¯ However, what she did not know was that Gilbert showed mercy and went easy on her because he loved her. Gilbert was far worse to others than Peter was. Peter became even more annoyed when he saw his shirt was torn and cursed loudly. At that moment, Kisa suddenly saw a familiar mark on his chest. The mark instantly reminded her of something. Ignoring the pain in her body and neck, she hurriedly got up, threw herself onto Peter¡¯s body, and pulled the shirt away from his chest. Sure enough, there was a circr birthmark that was as red as a ruby and the size of a fingernail on his chest. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 983 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 983 Chapter 983 Your Woman Is Feisty Kisa¡¯s mother also had the exact same mark on her chest. At that time, when she was in her mother¡¯s arms, she would always ask her what the mark was. It was red and round. Her mom said it was a birthmark, and she was born with it. Kisa always checked to see if she had a birthmark, but she did not. ¡°What the hell are you doing?! Are you trying to take advantage of me?!¡± Peter was so annoyed that he was about to send Kisa, who was on top of him, flying to the ground. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a figureing from the back door of the film set. He smirked and suddenly pulled Kisa into her arms. ¡°What? Why are you staring at my chest like that? Do you like my body?¡± Kisa did not seem to hear his little joke, nor did she notice him deliberately changing his behavior. Instead, she just stared at the birthmark closely. She even stroked it with trembling fingers. She always touched the birthmark on her mother¡¯s chest when she was a child. It felt pleasant and reassuring. Peter frowned fiercely. Initially, he wanted to act out a scene to make Gilbert mad on purpose. He did not expect Kisa to touch him. If Jolina were the one who was touching him, he would probably be too excited even to fall asleep that night. But it was not Jolina. Peter felt weird that Kisa was the one touching him. ¡°What are you doing?!¡± he hissed. Kisa was immersed in her past when she heard an icy voice. She trembled all over, and before she could look back, she was forcefully pulled away from Peter. Gilbert held her in his arms domineeringly and looked at Peter with cold and dark eyes. Peter leanedzily against the wall. He was not afraid of Gilbert. His shirt was torn, exposing his strong chest which made him look extraordinarily sexy. He smiled yfully at Gilbert and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see what we were doing? I must say, you have a feisty one right there. She came all over me and tore my shirt open. Do you not satisfy her needs, Mr. Kooper? You should have seen how thirsty she was. Gilbert narrowed his eyes in warning, and his fists clenched tightly. It was as if he was about to punch Peter at any moment. Kisa felt flustered. She hurriedly grabbed Gilbert¡¯s hand and shook her head. ¡°No, that¡¯s not what happened,¡± she said. Only then did Gilbert look at her. His eyes turned colder when he saw the red marks on the woman¡¯s neck and the scratches on her arms, and he grew more hostile. ¡°Peter Webb!¡± He growled in a murderous tone. Peter calmly waved his hands at him and said, ¡°It was your woman who provoked me first. She got in my way and tried to meddle with my affairs. She even tore my shirt open. Don¡¯t you think she deserved a lesson?¡± ¡°How dare you hit her!¡± Gilbert shouted coldly. He was about to walk toward Peter when Kisa quickly put her arms around his waist and said, ¡°No, Gilbert. Please, I¡¯m in pain. My body is in pain. Can you please take me to the hospital first?¡± Peter stared at Kisa strangely. ¡®What the hell is this woman doing?¡¯ he wondered. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. ¡®Did she really fall for me? Why does it seem like she¡¯s trying to get me out of this sticky situation? Is she afraid that Gilbert might beat me up?¡¯ Peter shook his head and found the whole situation strange. Gilbert stopped in his tracks and anxiously looked at the woman in front of him. ¡°Where does it hurt?¡± he asked. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 984 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 984 Chapter 984 I¡¯d Love To See You Try Kisa hugged Gilbert around the waist, refusing to let go, her eyes looking everywhere. ¡°Mm¡­ My arms, legs, and neck¡­ It hurts everywhere¡­ Can you please take me to the hospital first, Gilbert?¡± As soon as Kisa finished speaking, Gilbert immediately carried her up. He looked at Peter coldly and said, ¡°If anything happens to her, you¡¯re dead.¡± Peter shrugged indifferently and sneered, ¡°Go ahead. I¡¯d love to see you try.¡± Gilbert¡¯s brows furrowed when he took a step toward him. Kisa hastily tugged on his shirt and said in a low voice, ¡°Forget it. We shouldn¡¯t stoop to his level.¡± Gilbert stared at the woman in his arms. If she had not told him that she disliked Peter after being drunk last night, he would have thought that Kisa was so protective of Peter because something was going on between them. Gilbert tried his best to suppress his anger. He gave Peter a stern look and turned around to walk out of the set with Kisa in his arms. His car was parked right by the entrance of the set. Peter frowned as he stared at the woman in Gilbert¡¯s arms. ¡®What is up with that woman? Could it be that she has really fallen in love with me?¡¯ Peter tugged his shirt yfully. ¡®Gilbert must be fuming. Hah! Things are about to get interesting.¡¯ Gilbert gently ced Kisa on the passenger seat. He raised her arm and took a closer look, only to see that there was a huge scrape on her delicate arm. The wound was bleeding and stained with dirt. He then looked at Kisa¡¯s slender neck, which was bruised. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert¡¯s face darkened instantly when he saw the injuries she endured. He became hostile once again when he growled, ¡°F*ck Peter. I won¡¯t let him get away with this.¡± His tone was cruel and sullen. Kisa was still thinking about the birthmark on Peter¡¯s chest, but after hearing what he said, she quickly returned to her senses. She hurriedly looked up at the man, only to see a cold expression on his face with eyes that were full of viciousness. Kisa could not help but hold the man¡¯s hand and say, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Let¡¯s just forget about it, okay?¡± ¡°Forget about it?¡± Gilbert growled. ¡°How can we just forget about it when he caused you to be injured so badly?¡± He then went around the car and got into the driver¡¯s seat. He started the engine and said in a deep voice, ¡°This time, I¡¯ll teach him a lesson.¡± ¡°No, Gilbert. Please. Just forget it. I¡¯m not that badly injured.¡± Hearing her trying to protect that man, Gilbert became furious. He parked the car aside and looked at her with a frown. ¡°Look at you. You¡¯re hurt. Why are you standing up for him? What, do you like him?¡± ¡®Aren¡¯t people more likely to tell the truth when they¡¯re drunk? Kisa had made it clear that she did not like Peterst night. Was she just pretending to be drunk?¡¯ Gilbert thought. ¡®What about the part where she told me she liked me?¡¯ The man started to overthink everything. Kisa suddenly burst outughing. ¡°Peter is a violent and arrogant man. Who in their right mind would ever fall for him?¡± ¡°Then why are you still trying to protect him?¡± Gilbert asked. ¡°I¡¯m helping him out because he was willing to undergo a blood transfusion for Jensen.¡± Gilbert suddenly stopped talking when Kisa mentioned about Jensen and the thing that happened at the hospital. That was the saddest day of his life. He felt suffocated whenever he thought about it, especially since Jensen still had not woken up yet. Whenever Gilbert thought about him, his heart was filled with guilt. Kisa nced at his tense profile, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly. After a long while, she smiled at him and said, ¡°Okay. I promise not to provoke Peter next time. The only reason I went after him today was because of Jolina.¡± Having said that, Kisa could not get the birthmark on Peter¡¯s chest out of her mind. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 985 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 985 Chapter 985 Deeply Rooted ¡®Birthmarks aremon but having the exact same birthmark as someone else and at the exact same spot on the body is strange,¡¯ Kisa thought. She felt that it was no coincidence that the birthmark Peter had on his chest was just like her mother¡¯s. ¡®I have to dig deeper into this.¡¯ Gilbert was silent for a long time. ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll let him get away with it this time since he donated his blood for Jensen. But mark my words; I won¡¯t be sparing him the next time heys his hands on you.¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Kisa nodded with a smile. Suddenly, Gilbert frowned and looked at her. ¡°And you, don¡¯t meddle in other people¡¯s business from now on. It¡¯s their rtionship. You don¡¯t get a say in it,¡± he said slightly disapprovingly. ¡°Got it¡­¡± Kisa lowered her head and replied as if she had done something wrong. Seeing her admitting her mistake, Gilbert did not reprimand her any further. He started the car and murmured, ¡°If you hadn¡¯t told me that you didn¡¯t like Peter when you were drunk last night, I would have thought that you were in love with him.¡± Kisa looked at him and suddenly remembered that he had asked her who she likedst night. She stared at the man¡¯s side profile and asked with a smirk on her face,¡± Then who did I say I like?¡± Gilbert did not say a word. The corners of his lips slowly curled into a smug smile. Kisa felt ufortable when she saw his smile. The truthes out when alcohol is involved. It seemed that no matter how much she warned herself not to be fooled by the man in front of her, and no matter how much she told herself not to fall for his fake care and consideration, it was undeniable that she still had feelings for this man. Those feelings had taken root long ago since she was a child. Now, it was even more deeply rooted in her heart. However, those feelings were now mixed with a strong hatred. Hence, there would always be conflict and pain when it came to facing Gilbert. Kisa¡¯s injuries were all surface-level skin wounds. The doctor cleaned up the wounds on her arms and knees and proceeded to prescribe some ointment. It waspletely dark when they came out of the hospital. ¡°Should we go get some food?¡± Kisa took Gilbert¡¯s hand and asked with a smile on her face. ¡°Let¡¯s do that,¡± Gilbert nodded and carefully helped her into the car. ¡°We¡¯re going back to the Kooper residence today,¡± Gilbert said after starting the car. Kisa was stunned. ¡°The Kooper residence? What about grandma¡­?¡± ¡°She has epted you as part of the family. It was her idea for us to go back and live there.¡± Kisa fiddled with the seat belt as doubts began to materialize in her heart. ¡®Grandma used to hate me so much. It¡¯s weird that she¡¯s suddenly epting me into the family. I bet Gilbert discussed it with her. But I¡¯m not sure why she would y this game with him. I know Gilbert is ying this game because it may be fun for him or maybe because he just wants my body, and there¡¯s also the possibility that he¡¯s toying with me. But what are grandma¡¯s intentions behind all this?¡¯ Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Seeing that Kisa had suddenly fallen silent, Gilbert said, ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to go back to the Kooper residence. We can stay at your ce if you want.¡± ¡°No, we can go to your ce,¡± Kisa chuckled. She still did not understand why Madalyn had suddenly started hating her. ¡®Maybe this time, I can get along with grandma and find out some answers. I can also investigate the incident between the Kooper family¡¯s eldest son and Gilbert¡¯s dad. After all, the two of them have lived there for a long time. There¡¯s no way grandma destroyed all the evidence about her own son without leaving any trace just because she was afraid of angering Gilbert.¡¯ As Kisa was lost in thought, they reached the front porch of the Kooper residence. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 986 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 986 Chapter 986 She¡¯s Our Mom Gilbert unfastened his seat belt and said to her, ¡°You¡¯re still injured. I think it would be better to have dinner at home. What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll make it for you.¡± ¡®His tone is exceptionally gentle, and his deep voice is sexy and nice. If I put aside my hatred¡­ Well, forget it. There¡¯s no if in the world.¡¯ Two little figures ran toward Kisa quickly as soon as she got out of the car. ¡°Aunt Kisa!¡± ¡°Aunt Kisa!¡± Two kids plunged into her arms excitedly. Ada hugged her waist with a smile like the crescent moon. ¡°Aunt, it¡¯s really you. I miss you so much.¡± ¡°Aunt, I miss you too,¡± said Andrew. Kisa¡¯s heart almost melted when she looked at their cute faces. She patted their heads and said, ¡°I miss you guys too. I¡¯ll be living here from now on. Are you happy to live with me?¡± ¡°Wow! Really?¡± Ada looked at Kisa, and her eyes lit up with joy. ¡°I¡¯ll be happy every day if you really live with us.¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. I¡¯m not lying to you.¡± Gilbert stared at the smile on the woman¡¯s face without blinking. There was a touch of tenderness somewhere in his heart. Kisa looked at the two kids in front of her lovingly. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong. She asked Andrew, ¡°Why is it just the two of you? Where¡¯s ke?¡± ¡®Gilbert told me that Mia sent ke to the Kooper¡¯s residence after Jensen¡¯s ident. I¡¯m not worried about ke because Ada and Andrew will be with him. But, only Ada and Andrew came out happily. Why don¡¯t I see ke?¡¯ Kisa looked at the house and saw Madalyn standing at the door with a walking stick. Madalyn showed a long face as though she was extremely unweing. Kisa¡¯s eyes quickly nced past Madalyn and finally fell on ke, who was standing beside her. Under the light of the doorway, ke pursed his lips tightly. His clear eyes were filled with tears. He seemed to be holding back his sadness and his urge to cry. ke had lost some weight, and he looked less lively than before. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Kisa¡¯s heart ached suddenly when she saw him. She quickly walked up to ke and touched his face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I¡¯m here. Don¡¯t be sad.¡± ke plunged himself into her arms. He choked up and said, ¡°Aunt, is dad awake?¡± Kisa¡¯s heart wrenched, but she could onlyfort him with lies. ¡°Soon. Your dad will wake up soon.¡± Gilbert took a breath painfully and turned his gaze elsewhere. ¡®It would be nice if I didn¡¯t chase after Jensen that day. Then, all these tragedies wouldn¡¯t have happened.¡¯ Madalyn snorted coldly at Kisa and turned back into the house. Kisa did not expect Madalyn to treat her well. So, she just shrugged indifferently when facing Madalyn¡¯s unweing attitude. Then, she led ke into the house. The house was bright. Kisa took ke and sat on the couch by herself after she entered the house. Andrew and Ada came along soon and sat next to her. Madalyn sat across from Kisa and nced at her. Her face became even more gloomy. She said to Andrew and Ada, ¡°She isn¡¯t even your mom. Why do you guys like her so much?¡± Gilbert was walking to the side. His figure could not help but freeze when he suddenly heard Madalyn¡¯s words. A touch of mixed feelings shed across his eyes when he looked at Kisa. Kisa smiled indifferently and said nothing. Suddenly, Ada said to Madalyn, ¡°Great-grandma, in our hearts, Aunt Kisa is our mom.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 987 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 987 Chapter 987 Taking Anger Out on Him? ¡°Yes, and we only recognize Aunt Kisa as our mom,¡± Andrew added. He said in an unusually firm tone. Kisa¡¯s heart trembled, and she was moved by the kids¡¯ gestures. At this moment, she felt that she would die happily if Andrew, Ada, and ke were her children. Madalyn, helplessly looking at the kids, was angry, ¡°All of you, be careful not to be deceived by her facade.¡± ¡°No. Aunt Kisa won¡¯t lie to us.¡± After Ada finished, Andrew chipped in, ¡°Yes, Aunt Kisa is the best. We like Aunt Kisa the most.¡± Madalyn was furious upon hearing both kids liked that woman so much. She stood up immediately, turned her head, and growled at Gilbert, ¡°Come with me!¡± Gilbert looked at Kisa with a wry smile, ¡®Is Grandma taking her great-grandson¡¯s anger out on him?¡¯ Kisaughed at him and said, ¡°Just obediently follow your grandma, and make sure you don¡¯t make her sick from anger.¡± ¡°Stop your cursing. I knew you were not any good,¡± Madalyn growled at Kisa in disgust, then looked at Gilbert angrily, ¡°Why? Are you only listening to her now and unwilling to listen to me at all?¡± Gilbert helplessly shook his head, hugging Madalyn¡¯s shoulder, and coaxed, ¡°That¡¯s enough. No matter what happens, you¡¯re still my beloved grandma.¡± Madalyn snorted coldly and dragged him to a remote corner of the backyard. After they went to the backyard, Andrew suddenly took Kisa¡¯s hand and said seriously, ¡°Aunt Kisa, don¡¯t take my great-grandma¡¯s words to heart. Although my great-grandma is a bit strict, she is kind at heart.¡± ? ¡°Yes. Besides, although great-grandma doesn¡¯t wee you, we all wee you. In our hearts, you are our mom.¡± ke also nodded heavily at the side, looking at Kisa with a touch of excitement that did not match his age. Kisa is, after all, their beloved mother. Kisa felt touched when looking at the kids now, realizing these kids had grown and be wiser than before after being absent for some time. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. At the corner of the backyard, Madalyn grabbed Gilbert¡¯s arm and said in a serious tone, ¡°I warn you, don¡¯t tell her the children¡¯s parentage.¡± ¡°She really likes the children and is the children¡¯s real mother. She should know the children¡¯s parentage.¡± ¡°No!¡± Madalyn said anxiously, ¡°No one knows if she is faking it. It¡¯s the same as back then. Her mom pretended to be weak and harmless to deceive and harm everyone. You should learn from our past and never let your guard down!¡± ¡°Grandma, she¡¯s not her mom. You can¡¯t push her mother¡¯s fault all onto her¡­¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t put her mom¡¯s fault on her. Let me ask you, how many injuries have you suffered because of her? One moment she hated you so much that she would rather have you dead, but the next moment she reconciled with you and is lovey-dovey with you, just as before. Don¡¯t you think something is wrong here?¡± Gilbert stopped talking abruptly and wondered why he had never considered what Madalyn had just said. He refused to think too deeply about this if he wanted to be with her. Everything was good, and Gilbert would only fall further into despair if he continued to make wild guesses. It was as if he was avoiding the issue and deluding himself. He told Madalyn, ¡°She gave me the J & K Film Group, Grandma. Can¡¯t you believe her sincerity?¡± ¡°That is why it¡¯s suspicious!¡± Madalyn said sternly, ¡°I don¡¯t care. You can do whatever you like with her, but Andrew and Ada are my life. You must not tell her about their parentage!¡± Gilbert remained silent. Madalyn tugged at him angrily, ¡°Did you hear me?¡± Suddenly, the sound of a breaking branch could be heard Madalyn¡¯s face turned ugly, ¡°Who is there?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 988 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 988 Chapter 988 Eavesdrop The lights were dim in the backyard. Kisa did not watch her steps and tripped over a vine. She stepped on and broke two branches when she staggered forward. Madalyn stared at her with a particrly gloomy expression a few meters away as suspecting she was here to eavesdrop on purpose. However, she just came over and heard nothing at all. ¡°Who allowed you to eavesdrop there? Get over here now!¡± Madalyn, believing her assumption was correct, yelled at Kisa with disgust. Gilbert frowned and tugged at Madalyn¡¯s arm, ¡°Grandma, please don¡¯t do this.¡± Madalyn withdrew her arm angrily, ignored Gilbert, and just fiercely stared at Kisa. Kisa walked toward them with a faint smile after stabilizing herself. ¡°What did you hear?¡± Madalyn¡¯s face was tense, and she seemed a little nervous. Kisa¡¯s eyes twinkled, and deliberately said, ¡°I heard everything.¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Madalyn¡¯s face turned sour but did not show any signs of panic. Trying to probe, she said to Kisa, ¡°Let me tell you, don¡¯t try to use your hypocrisy to deceive the children. They are all treasures of the Kooper family and have nothing to do with you. Don¡¯t use any of them in your schemes.¡± Madalyn stared at Kisa¡¯s face without blinking after she finished. She could not help but feel relieved when she saw no changes in the woman¡¯s expression. ¡®If she really heard everything, she would definitely be eager to recognize the kids and won¡¯t be this calm. Humph! She¡¯s indeed a scheming woman, trying to learn about what I have just told Gilbert. Luckily I didn¡¯t fall for it.¡¯ Contrasting with Madalyn¡¯s belief, Kisa suddenly smiled lightly and said, ¡°How would they have nothing to do with me?¡± Madalyn frowned instantly as her heart tensed up. Gilbert stared at Kisa without blinking and thought with deep eyes, ¡®It is God¡¯s will if she really knows everything about the children¡¯s parentage. If so, I won¡¯t have to feel so conflicted.¡¯ When both of them were closely staring at Kisa, she suddenly chuckled and said, ¡°I¡¯m Gilbert¡¯s wife, so I¡¯m naturally the stepmother of his children. Besides, the kids willingly recognize me as their mom. So, there is certainly a mother-children rtionship between the kids and me.¡± Madalyn took a slight breath and snorted coldly, ¡°So what? Don¡¯t try to snatch the children away from me!¡± After Madalyn finished speaking, she pushed Kisa away vigorously and walked into the house. Kisa immediately looked at Gilbert with an aggrieved face, ¡°Is this what you mean by eptance?¡± Gilbert put his arms around her shoulders and chuckled, ¡°At least she agreed to our rtionship. Her anger toward you isn¡¯t because she hates you but is worried you would take the children away.¡± Kisa sneered, ¡°The kids belong to the Kooper family. I¡¯m not the children¡¯s biological mother. How can I take them away?¡± Hearing her words made Gilbert¡¯s heartplicated as he felt more guilty toward her. He lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and coaxed softly, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be angry anymore. Grandma probably got jealous because the children like you so much.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and said nothing. She did not have to get angry with Madalyn because of the kids. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Gilbert walked her into the house with his arms around her, ¡°What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll make it for you now.¡± At night, Kisa and Gilbert lived in their former wedding room. ¡®This is the first time we really lived together, ever since we first married. When we first got married, grandma moved out to let us live a sweet life together. But in the end, I¡¯m the only one guarding the huge vi alone. That man has never been back since he got married, let alone stepping into this wedding room.¡¯ Kisa stood in front of the window and thought about the past. The man who smelled like he had just had a bath suddenly hugged her from behind. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 989 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 989 Chapter 989 Join My Dream Gilbert just took a shower. His body was still warm, and his hair was wet, messy, and sexy. Kisa stared nkly at the two shadows imprinted on the window. A man embraced a woman in his arms from behind. The intimate appearance seemed like a lovey-dovey couple. However, living in this room again, especially with this man, all that was in Kisa¡¯s mind was full of bitterness from when they were just married. ¡®I think time is a cycle. I ended uping back here. Unlike in the past, this man¡¯s attitude toward me haspletely changed. Thinking back to his ruthlessness, neglect, cruelty, and humiliation back then, I always felt his affection and consideration for me at this moment to be quite ironic.¡¯ Kisa withdrew slightly from the man behind her. She turned and looked at him, ¡°Do you remember when we first got married?¡± Gilbert was at a loss as he pursed his lips and remained silent. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°I look forward to youing back and sleeping next to me every night when we were just married. That thought became my obsession almost every night, which kept me awake at night.¡± ¡°No. I won¡¯t do that again,¡± Gilbert said hurriedly. There was a touch of guilt and coaxing in his voice. Kisa shook her head and smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m just talking about the past and my feelings at that time.¡± She spoke casually and even seemed to have a faint smile. However, her eyes were gradually stained with tears as she looked at him, ¡°Gilbert, you have never lived in this room before, right? Is it because of¡­ my presence?¡± ¡®No! I¡¯ll sleep in this room every day since the year you ¡®died¡¯. I didn¡¯t allow anyone to touch any of your things. No one knows I slept on the bed you used, hugged the quilt you covered, and frantically yearned for your presence every night. I thought I was about to go crazy then as I would feel you were sleeping next to me at night, but the bed was always cold whenever I woke up. The loss and despair made me miserable. I know it was a hallucination, but I really indulged in it and hope you¡¯ll join my dream every night.¡¯ However, Gilbert could not tell her these. He truly hurt her a lot and med her for everything at that time. He treated her badly and was cruel to her. Even though he could not admit he really loved her at that time, how could he make her believe it? So, she would definitely not believe him and would feel like he was putting up an act even if he told her those things. ¡°Are you tired? Do you want to sleep?¡± Gilbert was afraid she would keep thinking about the past, so he could not help but change the topic. Kisa lowered her eyes and said nothing. She just turned around and walked to the bed. She was tired after a busy day and telling stories to the kids for a long time. Gilbert followed her as soon as she got on the bed. He held her in his arms as usual. His lips kissed the back of her neck again and again. Kisa trembled from being kissed by him. She frowned and moved to the side, but the man quickly stuck to her again like glue. The man even lovingly bit her earlobe. Kisa felt ufortable by his actions and could not help but groan, ¡°Stop it. I want to sleep.¡± Gilbert found her hand and held onto it tightly, whispering into her ear with a hoarse voice. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 990 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 990 Chapter 990 Late Love Is Inferior to Grass ¡°I think we¡¯re a real couple now.¡± Kisa¡¯s back was stiff, and she said nothing. Gilbert hugged her tightly, ¡°I wish we could continue to be this way.¡± Kisa stared nkly at the curtains, not saying a word. ¡®Love that blossomed toote is even cheaper than grass. These words made a lot more sense now.¡¯ Gilbert did nothing to her that night. He just hugged her and fell asleep peacefully. At night, Kisa had a nightmare. She dreamed of her mother and the blood-red birthmark. She was lying in her mom¡¯s arms, touching her mom¡¯s birthmark as she did when she was a child. But the birthmark suddenly turned into blood and kept on flowing. She hurriedly looked at her mom and only saw her mom yelling at her in disgust, ¡°Why do you exist in this world? Go to hell! Go to hell!¡± Kisa was immediately awakened by the nightmare. Her forehead was covered with sweat, and her heart was heavy. With a click, the wallmp at the head of the bed suddenly lit up. Gilbert pulled her into his arms quickly, ¡°What happened? Did you have a nightmare?¡± Kisa stayed quiet and just sat stiffly on the bed. ¡®I rarely dreamed of my mom since her death. When she was alive, she was always kind to me, except she would show some disgust toward me when it was raining heavily. She would hold me in her arms and tell me stories. She would keep the only bun for me when there was nothing left to eat. I knew she loved me, but why did she hate me this much in the dream and even want me dead?¡¯ Kisa was sad, and her tears unconsciously fell. Gilbert¡¯s heart tightened, seeing her sadness. He hugged her tightly and anxiously asked, ¡°What did you dream about? Care to share?¡± Kisa shook her head and smiled nkly, ¡°Why does everyone say I shouldn¡¯t have been in this world? My mom said so, and your grandma too. Gilbert, who do you think my birth harmed?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t listen to their nonsense. Grandma said that to you because of a misunderstanding, and your mom¡­ she¡­¡± ¡°Ha-ha. You can¡¯t even exin it properly.¡± Kisaughed at herself, ¡°No mother would hate their children that much. Just probably, my birth really made them suffer.¡± ¡°Stop spouting nonsense!¡± Gilbert said angrily, ¡°What should I do without you in this world? I think your birth is the best gift God has given me.¡± Gilbert truly thought so at this moment. No matter how much they suffered and their many misunderstandings, he still felt it was better to have her in this world. Not knowing the irony and sadness of what he just said, he will feel it in the future when everythinges to light. Kisa stared at him nkly. ¡®I know I shouldn¡¯t be tempted by him anymore. But my heart is still unstable at this moment. Maybe I¡¯m fragile after waking from a nightmare, or his affectionate words finally awakened the feelings buried deep in my heart. At this moment, I feel his embrace was particrly reassuring.¡¯ She leaned quietly in his arms without thinking too deeply. The birthmark in the dream was so real. Kisa could not help but think of the Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. birthmark on Peter¡¯s chest. After calming down, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, ¡°Are you going to Webb¡¯s house in Oceanville soon?¡± ? Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 991 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 991 Chapter 991 You Are My Wife Now Kisa¡¯s sudden switch in the subject caused Gilbert to pause momentarily before he nodded. ¡°Yeah. Why?¡± ¡°Can I go with you?¡± She still could not find any information about her mother¡¯s bracelet. However, she felt something peculiar about the birthmark on Peter¡¯s chest. She suspected that Peter might be the child that her mother gave birth to back then though her assumption may be bold and absurd. She still did not want to eliminate any possibility, so she wanted to personally look it up. Gilbert looked at her strangely, ¡°Why do you want to go to Oceanville?¡± ¡°I just want to be with you all the time. Why? Do you not want me to follow you?¡± She had almost forgotten about her nightmare just now. Kisa sat up from Gilbert¡¯s arm. ¡°Do you remember when I messed up your documents that day? I identally noticed that there were a few contracts involving the Webb family from Oceanville. I figured that you¡¯ve got to sign the contracts with them again since the previous ones were stained, right?¡± Suddenly, Gilbert stared at her yfully. ¡°Now that you mentioned it, I¡¯m starting to think that you spilled the sauce on my contracts on purpose.¡± ¡°How are you going to punish me if I really did?¡± Kisa got serious. 11 She had just finished crying, and tears were still rolling in her eyes. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at Gilbert. Gilbert just did not have the heart to punish her, even though he was really mad. He fumbled her long hair behind her neck and said softly, ¡°You got me good. I¡¯ll just let it slip this time.¡± ¡°So¡­ Oceanville?¡± ¡°We¡¯ll go together if you¡¯re free by then. I don¡¯t want to be away from you for too long, either.¡± Kisaughed after hearing what he said. ¡°Too long? How many days are you nning to stay there?¡± ¡°To me, even one day away from you feels like forever to me.¡± Kisa never knew that Gilbert was so good at saying cheesy stuff like this, realizing that she indeed did not know that man very well. She then asked Gilbert, ¡°When do you want to go there, then? I¡¯ll make some arrangements.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no rush. Don¡¯t you have to attend Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday ceremony? We¡¯ll only make our way to Oceanville after visiting Athadale. Kisa was shocked. ¡°How did you know I¡¯m going to visit the Mullens?¡± She was talking about Anthony Mullen¡¯s family. To be honest, she was not very fond of Anthony and did not even feel like attending the birthday ceremony. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. However, she was a rather famous public figure. The media would definitely say something bad about her if she chose not to attend after Mr. Muller Sr. personally invited her. She only decided to go, figuring things would not go well for her if the public started criticizing her for her absence. Gilbert hugged her in his arms. ¡°You¡¯re my wife now. It¡¯s only right for me to know everything about your schedule.¡± Kisa was startled when she heard the word ¡®wife¡¯. It was just something very simple, yet she just could not associate herself with it. At night, Kisa did not really sleep as she kept thinking about her mother and the birthmark on Peter¡¯s body. She figured that she might be able to find David through Peter if he was really the child that her mother secretly gave birth to back then. She just had to tell David about what her mother wanted, no matter what. Kisa¡¯s mother was still saying his name before she died. Kisa thought that David would know how much she missed him and desperate she was. Kisa was awakened by her phone¡¯s ringing tone the next morning. She picked up her phone, seeing an unsaved number on the screen, and hesitated for a second before nonchntly epting the call ¡°Ms. Becker, it¡¯s me.¡± Kisa heard a strange yet familiar voice. Then, she frowned and sat up. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 992 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 992 Chapter 992 A Different Shaun ¡°Who is this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s Shaun.

What is it that he wants to tell me?¡¯ Kisa did not refuse to see him, considering that he was the most loyal man around Jensen. ¡°Give me a minute,¡± she replied. Kisa hurriedly rushed to the bathroom, freshened herself up, got changed, and ran outside. Gilbert had woken up way before her. Before this, Kisa touched the empty space on her bed, not feeling the warmth, and wondered if Gilbert had already returned to the office. It was still early in the morning, and the living room was silent. Kisa made her way out of the front yard and saw a big man smoking while leaning on the wall outside. ¡°Ms. Becker!¡± Shaun stood upright as soon as he saw her, sounding more respectful than before. Kisa looked at him, confused. ¡°What is this about?¡± 7 Shaun put out his cigarette as he said apologetically, ¡°Ms. Becker, I was too rude that day, and I spoke without thinking it through. Please forgive me.¡± Kisa shook her head,pletely forgetting what had happened that day. Besides, she was the one who handed Jensen¡¯spany to a person who hurt him. She perfectly understood why Shaun acted that way since he was Jensen¡¯s right-hand man. ¡°I came here today because¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t want to quit anymore,¡± Shaun spoke in a serious manner. ¡°I¡¯ve been working with Mr. Kooper since he started thepany. I just don¡¯t feel very good leaving like this.¡± Kisa pursed her lips dejectedly. ¡°However, J & K Film Group isn¡¯t the same as before anymore. It¡¯s just a subsidiarypany of GK now.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine. I have no problems with that. I wouldn¡¯t mind even if I¡¯m just going to be a random employee there.¡± Shaun said nervously. ¡°Besides, I¡¯ll do everything you said. You can tell me to do anything if you ever need help.¡± Kisa looked at Shaun oddly. She had no idea why this man¡¯s attitude suddenly took such a big turn. As if he noticed Kisa¡¯s suspicion, Shaun immediately put on a sad face. ¡°I went to visit Mr. Jensen Kooper that day¡­¡± Kisa¡¯s heart tightened. Then, she asked, ¡°How is he? Is he awake?¡± Shaun shook his head. ¡°I looked at him and thought about the things he had said to me previously. ¡°He said that J & K Film Group belongs to you, and we must obey your orders if he isn¡¯t around anymore. He wanted us to treat you like how we treated him. However, I failed him by standing up to you that day.¡± Kisa felt sad as tears welled up in her eyes. Jensen was just so thoughtful and considerate of her, but what had she done to him? She was the reason why he ended up in the hospital because of her love. Kisa took a deep breath and looked at Shaun. ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to follow everything Jensen said. You should leave if you have better offers or other ns elsewhere. You don¡¯t have to constrain yourself because of what he said.¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°No!¡± Shaun immediately shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ve been working for him my whole life. You¡¯re my new boss now since he said so. We¡¯ll wait for him to wake up together.¡± After seeing his determination, Kisa did not feel like rejecting him. Then, she said, ¡± Okay, I¡¯ll let Gilbert know about this and tell him to reinstate you to your old position.¡± ¡°Thank you, Ms. Becker.¡± Shaun got into the car and watched Kisa walk back into the mansion as a cold smirk shed across his face. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 993 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 993 Chapter 993 Being Disrespectful Kisa walked to the staircase and was about to return to her room upstairs when she suddenly saw Gilberting out of the kitchen. Gilbert wore an apron while holding the breakfast in his hands. He looked just like a gentle family man. Kisa paused and looked at him for a few seconds before saying, ¡°You¡¯re home?¡± Gilbert immediately lifted his head after hearing Kisa¡¯s voice, ¡°You¡¯re awake? Why are you downstairs?¡± Kisa stopped going up the stairs and yawned while walking toward Gilbert, ¡°Yeah. I¡¯m going to the set later.¡± ¡°Come over and have some breakfast, then. I¡¯m going to the officeter, and I can give you a ride.¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. The man turned around and went back into the kitchen as he spoke. Kisa felt strange, asking Gilbert, ¡°Where are the maids? Why are you making breakfast yourself?¡± ¡°I wanted to cook for you personally.¡± Gilbert came out again while they were talking. This time, he had a few pieces of buns and sandwiches in his hands, her favorite food. Other than that, there was other food and milk on the table. Madalyn came downstairs as soon as Gilbert ced everything he had prepared on the table and sat down with Kisa. Madalyn still looked at Kisa as if she was her worst enemy. The old Kisa would feel upset because of that, yet she could not care less anymore. ¡°Wow! How highly do you think of yourself? You¡¯re actually letting Gilbert make you breakfast!¡± Madalyn said to her with a tone filled with hatred. ¡°Grandma, I wanted to make breakfast for her myself. It has nothing to do with her,¡± said Gilbert as he stood up and walked over to Madalyn. Kisa looked at Madalyn and said politely, ¡°Good morning, grandma.¡± ¡°What?! Who are you calling grandma? Do you think you deserve to call me that?!¡± Madalyn scolded her angrily. Gilbert furrowed his brows as his face darkened. Kisa grabbed his hand and smiled at him when he was about to retort. Then, she said to Madalyn, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t want to call you that either, but I don¡¯t have a choice. Everybody knows that I¡¯m married to Gilbert now. I¡¯m afraid that the media will paint me as a disrespectful person if they find out that I don¡¯t even address you as my grandmother in this house.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Madalyn tightened her grip on her cane. ¡°You¡¯re an evil and scheming woman. You don¡¯t deserve to be with Gilbert at all. What makes you think you¡¯re good enough to be thedy boss of GK?¡±.- Kisa grabbed a piece of bun and took a bite, then said to Madalyn with a smile, ¡°I don¡¯t know, but you wanted this marriage to happen back then, didn¡¯t you?¡± Bang! Madalyn mmed the table and stood up as she glowered at Kisa. ¡°I was just fooled by that fake side of you. You¡¯re just like your b*tchy mother¡­¡± ¡°Grandma!¡± Gilbert immediately shouted to interrupt Madalyn before he continued angrily, ¡°I¡¯m going to move out with Kisa if you won¡¯t stop acting like this.¡± ¡°What¡­¡± Madalyn was so mad that she started breathing heavily while supporting herself against the table. Gilbert worried it would affect Madalyn¡¯s health as he held her up, trying to avoid saying things that would make her mad. However, he could not let Kisa be mistreated like this anymore. He suddenly felt it was a mistake for him to bring Kisa back to live in the Kooper residence. Gilbert only decided on this because he wanted Kisa to be closer to the kids, and he would have more time to take care of his grandmother. He, however, did not expect Madalyn to still dislike Kisa so much. Kisa¡¯s gaze turned cold after hearing Madalyn insult her mother. However, she kept quiet and continued eating her buns. Madalyn nced at her with a disgusted look before she said to Gilbert, ¡°I have no idea why you¡¯re defending her. Did you know she was with another man at our front gate just now? She was doing something suspicious with the man, and I even took some pictures of them too¡­¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 994 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 994 Chapter 994 No Need to Conspire Madalyn reached for her phone hurriedly and showed it to Gilbert as she spoke. Kisa looked at her silently, and she felt embarrassed for her. She was just talking with Shaun, yet Madalyn made it look like she caught Kisa cheating on Gilbert. Madalyn searched for the photos in her phone before she handed them to Gilbert.¡± Look, she was plotting something with that man early in the morning. You¡¯ve got to beware of her. I¡¯m sure that she¡¯s up to something by getting back together with you this time.¡± Gilbert looked at the photos without saying anything. He saw Kisa talking with a man in the photos, and he could remember that man being Jensen¡¯s assistant, Shaun. He put Madalyn¡¯s phone away and said to her with a smile on his face, ¡°Grandma, you misunderstood Kisa. That man is just an employee.¡± ¡°Quit defending her. Why didn¡¯t that man look for you instead if he¡¯s really from yourpany? He even came here early just to talk to her.¡± Madalyn red at Kisa disgustedly as she said that. Kisa slowly finished her sandwiches before she looked up at Madalyn. ¡°He¡¯s my special assistant from J & K Film Group. He came because he had something to tell me.¡± ¡°Your special assistant?¡± Madalyn was about to say something, but Gilbert interrupted her, ¡°That¡¯s enough, grandma. I know who that man is too. Kisa isn¡¯t lying.¡± Madalyn got furious after seeing how Gilbert stood on Kisa¡¯s side, but she did not know what to do about it. She sat down and coldly warned Kisa, ¡°Listen, I¡¯d never ever allow you to approach Gilbert again if he wasn¡¯t so crazily in love with you. Now that you got back together with him, you¡¯d bettermit to this rtionship wholeheartedly. I will make you pay if I ever find out that you lied to him and had malicious intentions by getting back together with him!¡± Kisa felt a little ridiculous after ignoring what Madalyn said, other than when she mentioned how crazy in love Gilbert was with her. ¡®Could a person who tried to kill me really love me?¡¯ Kisa and Gilbert did not speak with each other while they were on their way to the set. Kisa looked over at his calm face from the side and asked with a faint smile, ¡°Aren¡¯t ? N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. you going to ask me why Shaun came to talk to me so early in the morning?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll tell me if you want to, and there¡¯s no point in me asking if you don¡¯t,¡± Gilbert answered tly, sounding indifferent. Then, Kisa said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re so open-minded. Actually, it wasn¡¯t anything special. He just told me that he wants his job back. So, I hope that you can make that happen and reinstate him back to his old position.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Gilbert agreed without hesitation and added, ¡°Even though J & K Film Group has merged with GK, it¡¯s still an independent organization as a subsidiarypany under GK. You can manage thatpany personally if you¡¯d like, and Shaun can still be your assistant.¡± Kisa was astonished, not expecting that from Gilbert at all. She then snickered and said, ¡°Are you not worried that I might conspire with Shaun and rob GK from you?¡± The car had already stopped at the entrance of the set as Kisa finished speaking. Gilbert lifted his head and looked at her. His gaze looked so deep it was like a ck hole that would suck everything in. Then, he said in a deep voice, ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to do that. If you¡¯d just ask, I can give you everything that my family owns, let alone GK!¡± C Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 995 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 995 Chapter 995 He Is a Bad Guy Gilbert spoke very seriously, yet his eyes looked gentle and affectionate. Kisa was stunned as she stared into his eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. She looked away anxiously before trying to catch her breath, smiling faintly at him. ¡°I was just joking with you. I didn¡¯t expect your joke to be even better than mine!¡± Gilbert was about to say something, but Kisa already opened the door and got out of the car. She bent down and smiled cheekily at the man sitting inside the car. ¡± Remember to pick me upter.¡± She walked into the set while carrying her bag after saying that. Gilbert stared at her slim back as a sarcastic smile appeared on his face. ¡®Is my credibility really this terrible now? I genuinely meant what I said, yet she thought that it was a joke!¡¯ Gilbert shook his head in resignation. He needed to stop thinking too deeply about it, or it would upset him again. He only made a U-turn and drove in his office¡¯s direction after Kisa disappeared from his sight. Kisa hid at the main door of the set, staring at the car that sped away. Undoubtedly, the serious look on Gilbert¡¯s face made what he said very believable. It was fortunate that Kisa kept herposure and did not admit that she really wanted GK. He made things sound too good to be true by saying that he would give her anything if she asked. However, nobody knew if Gilbert would end this rtionship with her after she admitted that she wanted GK, revealing her real intentions of approaching him. She would have no chance of taking revenge by then. Kisa shook her head. ¡®I can¡¯t trust that man no matter what he said to me. Never!¡¯ Kisa suddenly received a message from Shaun during her lunch break. He told Kisa that he had returned to the office, and Gilbert had already put him fully in charge of J & K Film Group. ¡®Gilbert is a very careful man. I don¡¯t think he¡¯d trust Shaun this much. Is he not worried that Shaun might be up to something bad and would secretly sabotage GK¡¯s operation with the resources of J & K Film Group before disintegrating GK? ¡®Even though it might not be an easy job to do that, it isn¡¯tpletely impossible for Shaun to do that if he wants to since J & K Film Group and GK are technically the samepany now.¡¯ The director shouted at Kisa to shoot the remaining scenes, stopping her from thinking to herself before she sent Shaun a text message: [Work hard.] Then, she put her phone away. Perhaps Gilbert was just testing Shaun. Kisa knew that she had to take GK away from Gilbert no matter what topensate Jensen. As Shaun was so loyal to Jensen, he would be able to help her achieve that. When Kisa¡¯s work ended in the evening, Peter suddenly showed up while she was talking with Jolina. The look on Jolina¡¯s face immediately changed as she hurriedly ran to the backdoor, as if Peter was a ghost. Knowing that she would run to the backdoor, Peter strode forward to stop her. ¡°Why are you running? I didn¡¯te here for you.¡± Peter¡¯s voice sounded cold and disdainful. Jolina was shocked to hear it. Then, Peter looked unconcerned at her before walking toward Kisa. ¡°Ms. Becker is the reason why I¡¯m here.¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Jolina furrowed her brows and grabbed him. ¡°What are you going to do to Kisa again? ¡°It has nothing to do with you. Besides, Ms. Becker is so much more easy-going than you!¡± Peter scoffed, and he was already standing in front of Kisa. Jolina felt nervous as she ran over. She took Kisa¡¯s hand and said anxiously, ¡°Kisa, ignore him. He¡¯s a bad guy.¡± Peter¡¯s face immediately darkened after he heard what Jolina said about him. ¡°You¡¯d always f*cking run away from me, right? I¡¯ve stopped pestering you now. Would you get out of my face?!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 996 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 996 Chapter 996 I¡¯d Still Dare To Hit On His Woman! Jolina ignored Peter and continued looking at Kisa worriedly. Kisa patted her hand. Then, she smiled and said reassuringly, ¡°It¡¯ll be fine. You can go back first; he won¡¯t do anything to me.¡± However, Jolina was still worried. ¡®This man is vile and shameless; I witnessed it firsthand. He must¡¯ve lost interest in me and has shifted his target onto Kisa,¡¯ she thought. When she thought of this, she felt even more panicked. She turned to Peter and warned him icily, ¡°Kisa is one of Mr. Kooper¡¯s people, so you better not mess around with her. Otherwise, Mr. Kooper won¡¯t spare you!¡± Peter felt jealousy swimming in his chest when he heard her describe Gilbert¡¯s greatness. He red at Jolina and snorted icily, ¡°You think I¡¯m afraid of Gilbert Kooper? I¡¯d still dare to hit on his woman even if he were around!¡± ¡°Then you can give it a try!¡± Right after Peter spoke, a cold voice came from the door. Kisa froze and quickly turned around. Then, she saw Gilbert walking toward them. His dark, cold, and murderous eyes gazed at Peter icily. However, Peter was not afraid. He merely snorted, ¡°What¡¯ll happen if I did?¡± He reached out and lifted Kisa¡¯s chin. Just as Kisa was about to move away, a strong force promptly yanked her aside. Before she realized what was happening, she saw Gilbert grip Peter¡¯s arm. ¡°Recently, the Webb Family of Oceanville has formed a partnership with GK Films for quite a number of projects. You¡¯d better consider if your impulsiveness is worth losing your family¡¯s business over!¡± P¨¦ter retracted his arm icily. ¡°So be it. I¡¯ve never f*cking relied on the family business anyway!¡± he said arrogantly. Gilbert narrowed his eyes dangerously. The atmosphere grew more intense as if a war were about to break out. Kisa quickly tugged on Gilbert¡¯s arm, ¡°Forget it. We¡¯ll just ignore him.¡± Seeing how the woman seemed as if she were defending him, Peter smiled mischievously. He turned to Kisa with a smile, ¡°Why are you afraid of him? If you¡¯re interested in me, just say so.¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Kisa was irritated and amused at his words. ¡®Why does he think I¡¯m interested in him?¡¯ she wondered. Kisa tugged on Gilbert¡¯s arm and prepared to walk out so that the two men would not cause a scene on set. Suddenly, Peter¡¯s yful voice spoke behind them. ¡°Ms. Becker, may I have the honor of having a meal with you?¡± Kisa ignored him. She held Gilbert¡¯s hand and continued walking to the set¡¯s exit. ¡®Didn¡¯t you like touching my pecs? I¡¯ll let you touch them again if you have a meal with me!¡± Behind them, the man snorted sardonically again. However, Kisa subconsciously stopped walking this time. His words instantly reminded her of the birthmark on his chest. Kisa hesitated momentarily before turning to Gilbert. However, her eyes only met with his icy gaze. Kisa felt an inexplicable sense of panic. She felt as if she actually done something to let him down. Kisa quickly dismissed the odd feeling she felt within. Then, she shed Gilbert an ingratiating smile, ¡°There was something I wanted to ask him, so¡­¡± ¡°This is your excuse to go for a meal with him?¡± Gilbert snorted icily with suppressed anger in his tone. He red at her with resentment. Meanwhile, Peter smirked and stared at Kisa¡¯s back in amusement. ¡®Yesterday, that woman was so absorbed in touching my chest that she fell into a daze. Even though I said that on purpose, I didn¡¯t expect her to be tempted by my offer. Is that woman really interested in my pecs?¡¯ he wondered. Kisa took a small step back and looked at Gilbert.

Kisa stumbled a few steps back in a panic. Just as she found her bnce, she saw the man angrily growl at her, ¡°If you want to have dinner with him, then go. I won¡¯t stop you!¡± Then, the man turned around and exited the set in a fit of rage. Peter smirked and chimed in. ¡°Don¡¯t me others when you can¡¯t satisfy your woman! Why throw a tantrum?¡± ¡°Shut your mouth!¡± Kisa roared at Peter in annoyance. When she turned around, Gilbert was no longer at the set¡¯s exit. Kisa stared at the dark sky outside in a daze. She felt an inexplicable sense of guilt; it was a sense of guilt toward the man. She quickly dismissed the strange emotion she felt. ¡®How funny. Gilbert is always the one hurting and lying to me. He has done so many things that let me down and even murdered my child, so why would I feel guilty toward him? Did him being nice to me for a few days heal my wounds and forget about the pain?¡¯ she wondered. Kisa snorted self-depreciatingly. Then, she turned around and walked up to Peter.¡± Didn¡¯t you say we¡¯re going to have dinner? Let¡¯s go!¡± Peter crossed his arms and peered at her in amusement. ¡°Speaking of which, I saw Gilbert¡¯s build. He has pretty good pecs, too, so why are you interested in my pecs?¡± Kisa rolled her eyes at him. ¡®I can¡¯t use an ordinary person¡¯s mindset to figure out what this man is thinking,¡¯ she thought. Jolina stood beside them. She gazed at Kisa weirdly and said, ¡°Kisa, you¡­ And him¡­¡± Then, she nced at Peter incredulously. However, there was still disdain and contempt in her eyes. Peter was furious when he saw Jolina¡¯s gaze. He then put his arm around Kisa¡¯s shoulder. He coldly snorted at Jolina, ¡°This woman really is much more proactive than you. I must¡¯ve hit my head to be so hung up on you. Don¡¯t worry; I won¡¯t bother you again in the future, so you don¡¯t have to avoid me like the gue!¡± The man said while examining Jolina¡¯s expression, unblinking. However, there was only relief and a hint of worry on Jolina¡¯s face. Moreover, her worry was directed at Kisa. She persuaded Kisa again. ¡°He really isn¡¯t a good person, Kisa. I think you should stay with Mr. Kooper. He¡¯s much betterpared to this man.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Peter was fed up. He growled, ¡°Which f*cking part of me is iparable to Gilbert Kooper? Why don¡¯t you tell me?¡± Jolina pursed her lips and did not speak. Peter roared, ¡°Tell me!¡± Kisa¡¯s eardrums were about to explode. She flung his hand aside, ¡°Alright. Time to eat. I¡¯m starving.¡± Then, she turned to Jolina and said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. I¡¯m not interested in him. I have something I need to ask him.¡± Peter snorted sardonically and took it as Kisa being in denial. ¡®Why would she touch my pecs in a daze if she isn¡¯t interested in me? Why else would she defend me time and time again in front of Gilbert?¡¯ he thought. ¡°Let¡¯s go for dinner.¡± Peter nced at Kisa without forgetting to nce at Jolina from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that, Kisa realized why Peter suddenly came to find her. However, she did not expose him. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. They went to avish and high-end restaurant. Peter flung a menu at Kisa and generously said, ¡°Order whatever you want!¡± Kisa threw him a speechless look. A momentter, she opened the menu and ordered a few simple dishes. Peter smoked while sitting in a sloppy posture. He had an irritated look in his eyes. After Kisa finished ordering, she examined him carefully. She wanted to see if she could find any clues rted to her mother on him. Perhaps Kisa made it too obvious when she was examining him, as Peter frowned immediately. He snapped at her in annoyance. n Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 998 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 998 Chapter 998 Doesn¡¯t Stop Him from Attracting Women ¡°Stop ttering yourself. I¡¯m not even one bit interested in you. I only spoke to you because I wanted to piss Gilbert off and test Jolina.¡± Kisa figured that out long ago. She leaned into her chair and smiled slightly at him. ¡°What a coincidence. You shouldn¡¯t tter yourself either because I¡¯m not interested in you.¡± Peter immediately snorted sardonically. His face brimmed with disdain. ¡°You¡¯re in denial. Why would you ditch Gilbert to dinner with me if you weren¡¯t interested in me?¡± He continued, ¡°And, you were touching my pecs yesterday as if you were spellbound¡­¡± ¡°Ahem¡­¡± Kisa quickly cut him off awkwardly. Then, she said bluntly, ¡°To be honest, Gilbert¡¯s pecs look much better than yours. They feel better, too. Rather than touching yours, I¡¯d rather touch his.¡± ¡°You!¡± the man¡¯s expression instantly darkened. Peter was suddenly reminded of Jolina praising Gilbert. He grew even more furious and felt a hint of jealousy. ¡°You women are blind. What¡¯s so good about Gilbert? His expression is always stone cold.¡± Kisa was amused. ¡°There¡¯s nothing good about Gilbert, but that doesn¡¯t stop him from attracting women.¡± ¡®I refuse to believe it. I genuinely don¡¯t think I¡¯m lesser than Gilbert. In terms of attracting women, I¡¯m definitely more charming than him. Is this woman ying hard to get by praising Gilbert in front of me?¡¯ Peter wondered. When Peter thought of this, his gaze at Kisa turned disdainful. ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to say such things to me and y hard to get. Why would you ditch him just now if Gilbert is as good as you say?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that I have something to ask you?¡± Peter narrowed his eyes slightly. ¡°What do you want to ask me?¡± Kisa pursed her lips and thought for a moment. Then, she asked hesitantly, ¡°That¡­ Birthmark on your chest, did you have it since you were born?¡± ¡°Is that even a question?¡± Peter snorted icily. He abruptly frowned, ¡°Why are you so concerned about my birthmark?¡± ¡®Huh? What she was touching yesterday seemed to be the birthmark on my chest. Did she touch me because of the birthmark?¡¯ he wondered.

All she felt was confusion. While Kisa was in a daze, Peter promptly turned around and said, ¡°Oh, yeah. I¡¯m not the only person who has this birthmark. My older brother has one too.

The man left after he finished his sentence. Meanwhile, Kisa froze. ¡®What? If that birthmark is somon that everyone has it and even has it at the exact same spot, doesn¡¯t this mean that I can¡¯t use this characteristic to find the child mother gave birth to?¡¯ she wondered. Kisa propped her arms on the table and hugged her head in annoyance. ¡®What¡¯s going on? I can¡¯t believe how coincidental this is. Three people have a birthmark on the same ce. What¡¯s more, their birthmarks all look the same. But, there¡¯s no reason for Peter to lie to me, so it looks like I still need to visit the Webb residence,¡¯ she thought again. When Kisa thought of Peter¡¯s outburst earlier, she suddenly felt a little regretful. ¡®If I had known that Peter hated people bringing up his mother, then I wouldn¡¯t have worded it that way,¡¯ she thought. Kisa leaned against the chair restlessly. She looked at the table full of dishes but was no longer in the mood to eat. However, Peter was generous. Even though he left in a fit of rage, he did not forget to pay for their table¡¯s check. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Outside the restaurant, Peter gripped the steering wheel tightly. His narrowed eyes were somber. ¡®Why did that woman suddenly ask about my birthmark and my mother? Does she know something about my mother? Or, does she have something to do with my mother?¡¯ wondered Peter. At that thought, he shook his head again. ¡®Uncle Adrien mentioned that my mother grew up in Oceanville. Even after she eloped with someone, she still hadn¡¯t been to Calthon, so how could she possibly be rted to Kisa?¡¯ Peter wondered. He leaned against his chair and stared at the roof of his car nkly. ¡®And your mother¡­ Did your mother also have a simr birthmark on her chest?¡¯ Peter suddenly thought of Kisa¡¯s question from earlier. ¡®Does my mother have it? I can¡¯t believe I don¡¯t remember. I didn¡¯t have a mother ever since I can remember,¡¯ he thought again. Kisa sat at the restaurant for a long time before she got up to leave. Since she came to the restaurant with Peter, she did not have a car with her. So, she had no choice but to take a cab. Kisa waited at the restaurant¡¯s entrance for a while. A few cabs stopped, but Kisa was too slow. Every time a cab came, someone else would get ahead of her and get She sighed softly. In the end, Kisa walked along the side of the road aimlessly. ¡®I¡¯m still happy to know I have a biological brother in this world.

The streetlights were lit, and the huge electronic screen at the square yed advertisements and interviews with famous people. Kisa inadvertently saw Gilbert. He was on the huge electronic screen, calmly answering the reporter in an interview. His presence of elegance and perfect facial features were particrly attention- grabbing. In a daze, Kisa stood at the square and stared at the man on the screen. He was sitting on a round couch. ¡°Mr. Kooper, are you and Ms. Kisa Becker really still husband and wife?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! We¡¯ve always been husband and wife. She will always be my one and only wife now and in the future.¡± ¡®It must be the interview from when we made our rtionship public,¡¯ thought Kisa. In the video, the man had a gentle gaze, and the corners of his lips were lifted to form a small smile. He looked a little different from his usual cold, ruthless self. Kisa was suddenly reminded of his furious expression on set today. She could not help but frown. ¡®That man¡¯s no different from the devil when he¡¯s angry.

Kisa strolled about for a long time before finally hailing a cab home. When she arrived at the Kooper residence, it was already ten o¡¯clock at night. Madalyn and the children had gone to sleep long ago. Kisa stood in the courtyard and looked around. The house was pitch ck, so she was unsure if they had locked the gate in the courtyard. ¡®If the courtyard¡¯s gate is locked, I¡¯ll go back to my own ce,¡¯ she thought. She reached out and pushed the gate, and it actually opened with a single push. It turned out the gate in the courtyard was ajar. She quietly walked into the courtyard and scanned the area. ¡®Gilbert¡¯s cars are all here, so he must be home,¡¯ she thought. Kisa turned around and locked the door. Then, she started walking toward the door. The door was also ajar as if someone had left it open for her on purpose. Kisa did not think much about it and tip-toed into the house. It was pitch ck inside, so Kisa switched on the shlight on her phone. Then, she looked around the house with her phone¡¯s shlight. When Kisa saw that there was not a single person in the living room, only then did she walk upstairs with the light from her phone. Due to the fear of waking the children, Kisa¡¯s footsteps were quiet. The hallway was carpeted, so there was barely any sound when she tip-toed around. Kisa opened the door of her room and was startled by the darkness. ¡®How strange. Weren¡¯t Gilbert¡¯s cars all in the courtyard? Where did he go?¡¯ Kisa thought puzzledly. Then, she locked the door behind her. Just as she fumbled for the light switch, a pair of hands suddenlynded on her waist. Kisa was startled. Before she could speak, she suddenly felt a warm, familiar breath by her ear. ¡°You¡¯re finally home?¡± the man asked hoarsely. He reeked of alcohol and anger. Kisa regained herposure and smiled at him awkwardly. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you switch on the lights when you¡¯re in here?¡± The man did not respond and continued gripping her tightly. Kisa struggled slightly. Then, she smiled, ¡°Let go of me. I¡¯ll go switch on the lights.¡± The man remained unmoving. Kisa said in resignation, ¡°Be good and let me switch on the light. I have something I want to give you.¡± The woman¡¯s tone softened and had a hint of ingratiation. The man finally released her. Kisa could not help but let out a sigh of relief when the tight grip on her waist loosened. She felt around the walls and switched on the lights. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. In an instant, the room was bright. She turned to face the man. However, the man was looking at her gloomily. There was even a hint of redness in his dark eyes. He was furious and looked as if he was about to swallow her whole. Kisa felt a little shocked. ¡®Sigh. Look at how furious he is. I can¡¯t imagine how ruthless he¡¯ll be if he finds out that I got close to him because I wanted to take my revenge. He¡¯ll probably kill me with his own hands when that happens,¡¯ she thought. Kisa suppressed her cluttered thoughts and forced a happy smile. ¡°It¡¯ste. Why aren¡¯t you asleep yet?¡± Gilbert turned around. He walked to the chair beside the window and sat down. ¡°My wife was having dinner with another man. Do you think, as a man, I¡¯d be able to fall asleep?¡± he sneered sardonically. Then, he snorted icily and red at her viciously. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Does food taste better when you¡¯re eating with that man?¡± Kisa frowned. ¡®Why is he speaking as if I¡¯m having an affair behind his back?¡¯ she thought. Kisa kept a smile on her face. Then, she walked over to him with a gift in her hands. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be mad anymore. Look what I bought you?¡± Kisa¡¯s smile was flirty as she leaned into his arms purposefully. While holding the gift box, she extended her arms to him as if she was presenting a treasure. However, the man was still angry. He waved his hand and promptly flung the box to the ground. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1001 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1001 Chapter 1001 Hard to Please The box went in a circle on the ground and bounced open as an expensive, refined men¡¯s watch dropped out of it. Kisa stared at the gift in astonishment. She pursed her lips and stayed quiet. She had picked a watch that suited Gilbert¡¯s noble temperament. But, he just threw it to the ground as if it was nothing, which reminded Kisa of the past where he dismissed her kindness every time, mercilessly throwing it to the ground. She used to feel sad about it, but there was nothing to feel sad about since she was no longer as sincere as she was before. Instead, a smile appeared on her face. ¡°Look at you. I bought a gift just to coax you, and you¡¯re still mad. You¡¯re so hard to please!¡± Gilbert stared at her deeply. ¡°Did I say I want a gift? How dare you leave me like that in public and have dinner with another man! Don¡¯t I deserve an exnation?¡± ¡®An exnation? Hah. He never believed me every time I tried to exin myself in the past. So, I didn¡¯t think there was a need to exin myself anymore. But since there are no real emotions in y, I think I¡¯ll just go along with it,¡¯ she thought. Kisa wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled amorously. ¡°Alright. I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have left you to have dinner with Peter. Don¡¯t be mad at me anymore, okay?¡± Gilbert stared at her without saying a word, nor did he push her away. He just looked at her with resentment. ¡®Although I should be happy that she took the initiative to coax me, which is rather rare, I¡¯m still fuming at the fact that she left me to have dinner with that man just to touch his chest.¡¯ Gilbert grabbed Kisa by the waist and snorted coldly, ¡°What? Did you enjoy touching that man¡¯s chest after dinner? Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know you, Kisa. How could you have such a weird kink?¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Kisa was stunned for a moment. She remembered that Peter had said she could touch his chest again, so she was willing to grab dinner with him. She was on a mission to ask Peter about his birthmark, but Gilbert, on the other hand, thought that she was doing it to feel Peter¡¯s chest. Kisa could not help but laugh. ¡°Your chest is much bigger than his. I would rather be touching yours than his,¡± she said as she tapped on Gilbert¡¯s chest. She then intentionally unbuttoned his shirt and maliciously ran her fingers across his chest. The man¡¯s eyes darkened in an instant. His voice was hoarse and sexy when he asked, ¡°If what you¡¯re saying is true, then why did you have dinner with him?¡± Gilbert could not help but feel enraged when he thought of it. Kisa pouted, put her hands around his neck, and said, ¡°I had something to ask him. So, I took the opportunity of dinner to get some answer.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the thing you wanted to know about?¡± The man asked calmly, but his face showed otherwise. Kisa smiled flirtatiously and said, ¡°I-I just wanted to ask him about some fun ces to go to in Oceanville. I mean, aren¡¯t we going to the Webb residence in Oceanville? I asked him because he¡¯s from there.¡± Gilbert frowned fiercely. He did not believe a word she said, but there was nothing he could do if she was not willing to tell him the truth. Sometimes, he had no choice but to go along with whatever Kisa said. At that time, Kisa was smiling very brightly. The more Gilbert looked at it, the more attractive her smile was. Suddenly, he pressed his lips onto hers and kissed her in anger. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1002 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1002 Chapter 1002 I Must Not Conceive His Child Again Gilbert¡¯s kiss was painful. Kisa could not help but hit him, but the man forcefully grabbed her wrists and pinned her down on the coffee table. There were several magazines on the table. Kisa¡¯s back hurt badly as Gilbert pressed her against the opened magazines. Kisa frowned and stared at the man. ¡°What are you doing?!¡± she screamed. ¡°I¡¯m doing what married couples do!¡± Gilbert replied. As he said that, he stretched out his arm to close the curtain. Before Kisa returned to her senses, she heard the sound of a tear. Gilbert had torn her dress apart. She realized what the man was going to do and hurriedly covered her breasts as she smiled at him and said, ¡°Please don¡¯t. I¡¯m a little tired today. I want to wash up and head to bed early.¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and sneered, ¡°I didn¡¯t hear youining that you were tired when you went out with that man.¡± ¡°Gilbert, please. I¡¯ve already exined myself. I was just trying to ask him¡­ Ah!¡± She scrunched her face, and her eyes filled with tears. ¡°You f*cking monster!¡± she yelled, ring at him with rage. ¡°I¡¯m your husband. I¡¯m just doing what married couples do. How am I a monster?¡± the man snorted. His actions were motivated by anger and revenge. He did not know what else he could do with Kisa. So he decided to rule over her body. It was the only way he felt like he owned and controlled her. After a long period of torture, Kisa fainted. When she woke up, she was already on the bed. She could hear Gilbert¡¯s breath beside her. Even though he was in a deep sleep, his strong arms were tightly wrapped around her waist. It was as if he was afraid that she would run away. Kisa silently stayed in his arms for a while. She then moved slightly to the side, trying to get out of his arms. She was not used to having this type of skin-to-skin contact with him. Fortunately for her, Gilbert seemed really tired. He did not wake up when she carefully tried to lift his arms. After getting his arms off her, she moved sideways little by little. With a lot of effort, she finally moved to the edge of the bed. Her back felt sore as if it had been severely hit with a stick. She could not help but curse the man when she thought of the scene she went through on the coffee table. Shey t on the bed, quietly looking at the dark ceiling, no longer wanting to fall asleep. She reached for her phone by the bed and turned it on to check the time. However, the man next to her suddenly let out a low snort. She was so frightened that she quickly turned her phone¡¯s screen off again. When it felt like the man had turned over and fallen asleep again, Kisa let out a sigh of relief. She was not afraid of the man, but she was scared of the sexual acts he would do to her. She held her phone in her hands andy motionlessly on the bed, bing less and less sleepy. When she was thinking about getting up and looking for traces of David and Damon¡¯s existence in the house, she felt a sudden difort in her body. Kisa quickly got up and rushed to the bathroom in shock. She turned on the shower and rinsed herself carefully. She then sat in front of the toilet bowl for a long time. When she tried to get up, her sight went dark, and she almost fell. Luckily, she held onto the sink beside her. Looking at her pale little face in the mirror, Kisa could not help but smile wryly. She counted the days and realized that she was ovting. She did not take any safety precautions because Gilbert forced himself onto her earlier. She was still afraid of conceiving that man¡¯s child. If she does be pregnant, her determination to take her revenge on that man would be affected. ¡®I must never get pregnant with his child again. Never!¡¯ N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. When Kisa walked out of the bathroom, she noticed that Gilbert was still asleep. She put on a nightgown and got out of the room quietly. n Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1003 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1003 Chapter 1003 The Secrets Behind The Door N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Kisa looked at the time on her phone and saw that it was already past three o¡¯clock in the morning. It was the time when people were asleep. The whole ce was quiet. Kisa stood nkly at the door for some time and turned to walk toward the stairs. When she was married for the first time, she lived alone in the vi for almost a year. However, she was only in her room and the hall downstairs most of the time. She had not been to the other rooms in the vi. At that time, she did not know about the grievances between her mother and David Kooper. She also did not realize that Carolyn had a crush on Damon. So, she did not pay much attention to them during her time here. ¡®If only I had my hands on mom¡¯s diary earlier, I would have turned the vi upside down when I was living here. Maybe I could have found something about David and Damon then, and I wouldn¡¯t need to be so sneaky.¡¯ ¡®Everyone lives on the second floor. However, David and Damon were like a taboo to Gilbert, so there must be nothing hidden on the second floor about them. If they left something here, it must be hidden in a ce people don¡¯t often go to.¡¯ There were many rooms on the third floor, but no one lived there. On the fourth floor were an attic and a small balcony. The attic was where Gilbert had imprisoned Kisa when he first captured her. She had inspected that attic when she escaped. There was nothing there except for a few knick-knacks. Thus, Kisa ruled out the fourth floor and searched the third floor. The lights in the hallway of the vi were motion-censored. They would still turn on even if Kisa tip-toed across the hall, but she hoped that they would not light up. She had the idea that it would be better for her to use her phone to illuminate the since people would notice the lights in the hallway. way Kisa started investigating each room from the end of the corridor. The few rooms on the side were ordinary guest rooms that were tidy and clean. Kisa took a rough nce and saw that the furniture in the rooms looked brand new. It was as if no one had lived there before. When she reached the middle of the long hallway, she found that one of the rooms was locked. She could not open it, no matter how hard she tried. ¡®Is there something in this room?¡¯ she frowned and thought to herself. She then suppressed her suspicion and continued to search the other rooms. Other than the room that she found earlier, there was also another room that was locked. This verified Kisa¡¯s suspicions. ¡®These two rooms must have belonged to David and Damon, respectively,¡¯ she thought. The locked doors made her even more eager to know the secrets inside. Kisa recalled that she had picked the attic lock in the Case residence before. She hurried downstairs, found a few wires in the sundry cab, and rushed back to the third floor. Even though she had picked the lock in the Case residence before, she was not confident in picking the door lock in the Kooper residence. ¡®The lock on the Case residence¡¯s attic looked inferiorpared to the type of door lock they have here. This lock looks like it was better made, and the keyhole is small.¡¯ ¡®Oh, whatever. You¡¯ll never know if you don¡¯t try, Kisa.¡¯ After trying to encourage herself, Kisa twisted the wire into the shape she had seen in a video. She then tried to stuff it in the keyhole bit by bit. It was unknown whether the air was hot or whether Kisa was feeling guilty, but she started to sweat profusely when she twisted and turned the wire in the keyhole. However, she could not get the door open, no matter how much she jimmied the wire in the keyhole. ¡®As I expected, this door lock is much more difficult to open than the lock in the Case residence¡¯s attic,¡¯ Kisa sighed heavily, and when she was thinking of other ways to open the door, she suddenly heard a sound behind her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1004 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1004 Chapter 1004 Why Are You Doubting Me ¡°What are you up to?¡± Kisa froze with fright. When she realized that it was Gilbert¡¯s voice, she held her breath slightly and hid the wire up her sleeve. She then turned around to look at the man with a faint smile on her face. The man frowned, and His dark eyes sized her up as he said, ¡°What are you doing on the third floor in the middle of the night?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not doing anything. I couldn¡¯t sleep, and I was a little curious. So, I came up to have a look,¡± Kisa said calmly. In the end, she walked to Gilbert, who had a gloomy and tense look on his face, with a smile and said, ¡°I¡¯ve received your punishment earlier. Have you calmed down now?¡± Gilbert did not respond. His suspecting gaze fell onto the door. ¡®If I¡¯m correct, the woman seemed to be struggling to open the door just now. What¡¯s behind the door that is worth exploring in the middle of the night?¡¯ Gilbert pushed Kisa away and walked toward the door. Kisa frowned subconsciously. ¡°What are you doing, Gilbert? I told you I couldn¡¯t sleep, so I came upstairs to look around.¡± Although her reason was far-fetched, it was the only thing she coulde up with to exin herself. She could not tell him that she was looking for answers about David and Damon. ¡®Our rtionship is just an act. I would never tell him about my past, especially about mom¡¯s secrets. Moreover, Damon and his father are still considered taboo to him. So, I could never tell him my true intentions.¡± Just as Kisa was thinking that, she saw that Gilbert was already standing in front of the room. He tried to twist the doorknob, but to no surprise, it did not open. ¡°Why is the door locked?¡± The man suddenly frowned again. He looked at Kisa and asked, ¡± Was it always locked?¡±Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°How would I know?¡± Kisaughed. ¡°It¡¯s your house, not mine.¡± A trace of doubt shed across his eyes. ¡°Grandma said that this floor is for guests. My family doesn¡¯t usually have any rtives over, so as far as I can remember, no one has ever lived on this floor. I didn¡¯t come up here much since it was filled with guest rooms, but why is this door locked?¡± he said softly. Gilbert then turned the doorknob for the room next to the locked door, which opened easily. The contrast between the two doors made him feel more suspicious about the matter. A light shed across Kisa¡¯s eyes when she smiled at him and said, ¡°I was also rather puzzled by this. So, I wanted to get in and see what kind of secrets were hidden behind the door. Gilbert, grandma must have locked it. Why don¡¯t you ask her for the key tomorrow?¡± Kisa knew that even if grandma refused to give him the key, he would still be able to get it with his abilities. ¡®As long as he gets the key, I will have the chance to go into the room,¡¯ she thought. Gilbert stared at Kisa strangely. ¡°Why? Do you really want to find out about the secrets inside?¡± Kisa pretended to act casual and said, ¡°Well, I¡¯m curious. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re not dying to know what¡¯s inside?¡± Gilbert did not answer. Instead, he just looked at her weirdly, trying to see through her lies. ¡°It¡¯s not unusual that you¡¯re curious about the secrets behind this door, but it is definitely weird that you came up to the third floor in the middle of the night.¡± Kisa¡¯s smile froze. ¡°Why are you doubting me?¡± She asked. Gilbert felt hurt when he saw the woman¡¯s face turn slightly colder. He walked up to her, held her hand tightly, and said in a deep voice. ¡®I¡¯m not doubting you. I just want you to tell me the truth.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1005 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1005 Chapter 1005 Psychological Tactics It was surprising that Gilbert did not try to choke her or yell at her. Kisa was also shocked that he did not force her to tell him the truth. She found that his affectionate and patient appearance looked quite authentic. ¡°I am telling the truth. You¡¯re the one who doesn¡¯t believe me,¡± Kisaughed. Gilbert looked hard at her brows and the curvature of her lips, not letting go of any minor tweak in her facial expression. After a long time, he took a light breath. ¡°Come on!¡± He said as he let go of her hand and walked downstairs. Kisa stared at his tall figure in disdain, and a strange feeling of guilt appeared inside of her once again. She quickly shook her head to get rid of the guilt as she warned herself, ¡®That lost and sad look he has on his face is just an act so that I will feel guilty and foolishly tell him everything. It is just another one of his psychological tactics. It¡¯s what he is best at.¡¯ Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Kisa maintained the calmness in her eyes and followed the man down the stairs.¡± Has your anger dissipated, Gilbert?¡± She asked with a smile while holding the man¡¯s arm intimately. Gilbert pressed his lips tight and did not say a word. ¡®I don¡¯t know why but the more I see her smiling brightly without a care, the angrier I get. It feels like she¡¯s not taking our rtionship seriously.¡¯ ¡°Why do you care if I¡¯m still mad or not?¡± He looked at the woman and asked nkly.¡± Well, of course I care,¡± Kisa replied without thinking about it. When Gilbert heard her quick response, he felt a little more comforted. However, what the woman said next aroused an untamable fire in his heart. ¡°I mean, what if you go crazy and punish me again? It¡¯s better that you¡¯re in a good mood. When you¡¯re happy, you treat me well¡­ Mmm!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Gilbert suddenly pushed her against the wall in the hallway. Kisa was so taken aback by his action that her feet slipped. If he did not pin her shoulders against the wall, she would have rolled down the stairs by now. The man¡¯s sullen roar was full of restraint. ¡°If you want me to be happy, then don¡¯t make me angry all the time. You¡¯re being very disobedient right now, Kisa.¡± ¡°But I didn¡¯t-¡± ¡°You are not allowed to eat alone with Peter in the future. Otherwise, you¡¯re going to receive a much worse punishment than this. Do you understand?¡± Gilbert¡¯s words were vicious, and there was a hint of darkness on his handsome face. Kisa let out a breath. ¡®Guess he¡¯s still thinking about what happened with Peter.¡¯ She wrapped her arms around his neck with a smile and said, ¡°Understood. I won¡¯t go out with him alone next time. But, to be honest, I didn¡¯t eat much for dinner just now. I¡¯m getting rather hungry.¡± Gilbert stared at Kisa in disbelief. ¡°Is that so? I thought your food would taste even better with him there.¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling you, that man is a moody person. He asked me out for dinner just to make Jolina jealous. After taking me to the restaurant, he left, and I didn¡¯t eat much.¡± Kisa was trying to put out the fire, but Gilbert mistook her words. ¡°Oh, so you lost your appetite because he left, and you agreed not to go out with him anymore because you know he likes Jolina!¡± ¡°N-No¡­ That¡¯s not it¡­¡± Kisa was dumbfounded by Gilbert¡¯s take on her words. ¡®Why do men think like this?¡¯ ¡°You¡¯d just throw yourself at him if he said he liked you, right?¡± Kisa could not help but roll her eyes. ¡°Gilbert, with that imagination of yours, you can be a screenwriter.¡± Gilbert snorted coldly and let go of her. Once the weight on her shoulders was gone, she lost her bnce and fell down the stairs. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1006 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1006 Chapter 1006 The Keys Kisa screamed and reflexively closed her eyes, thinking that she would fall and crack her head. But, unexpectedly, a strong arm caught her by the waist, and the man quickly picked her up and steadied her beside him. Kisa patted her chest and was still in shock, as a slightly admonishing voice above her head. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you forget how to go down the stairs?¡± rang out She rolled her eyes at him as she internally cursed, ¡®If it weren¡¯t for you suddenly pushing me against the wall to teach me a lesson and then suddenly letting go, I wouldn¡¯t have lost my bnce.¡¯ However, looking at the man¡¯s sullen face, she did not want to be calctive with him. So, she instead smiled at him and said, ¡°Thank you. You¡¯re pretty good, pulling me back just like that.¡± Gilbert said nothing as he walked downstairs with an icy look on his face. Kisa sneered inwardly. ¡®This man sure is difficult to please. Even praising him doesn¡¯t make him happy.¡¯ When she returned to the second floor, Kisa walked toward her own room. The man suddenly pulled her aside. Feeling stunned, she asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you hungry? I¡¯ll cook something for you.¡± The man went downstairs as he said that. Kisa stood there in a daze for a good while before following him downstairs. The man had already entered the kitchen. She sat on the sofa and leaned back slightly. She could see the man keeping himself busy in the kitchen. ¡®I totally did not expect this man to cook for me at this ungodly hour, even when he is still angry.¡¯ Therefore, she still could not understand many of the man¡¯s actions. Once upon a time, she would be the one cooking meals every day, hoping that he woulde back to eat with her. But, he never did. Now, it was his turn to cook for her instead. It was quite often too. The stark contrast was both iprehensible and inexplicable to her. If she wanted to shoehorn in an exnation, it could only be a charade. Kisa¡¯s thoughts ran wild as she sat on the sofa thinking, and she eventually got more and more frustrated. So. she got up and went into the kitchen to help. She was used to this kitchen back then, but looking at it now, she felt a little unfamiliar with it. The man was making chicken noodles, and the green onions and chicken meat had already been cleanly sliced. Kisa stood by the door for a while before realizing that there was nothing he needed help with, so she just stood there looking at him. The air was quiet with only the sound of the gas burning on the stove could be heard. Kisa did not like such silence, and so she called out to him. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± The man responded without turning back. His voice was t. Kisa knew that this man could not be cated so easily. Her fingers twitched as she asked, ¡°Will¡­ will you ask Grandma for the keys tomorrow?¡± Gilbert¡¯s hand suddenly stopped. Amidst the swirling steam, his gaze sank a little. ¡°Why are you so curious about that room? Do you know something I don¡¯t?¡± ¡°No! Didn¡¯t I say it earlier? I was just curious,¡± Kisa responded casually. Worried that the man was going to doubt her, she added, ¡°But, it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t ask Grandma about the keys. It¡¯s just a room. There should be nothing there.¡± Gilbert did not answer and just walked out with the pot of noodles in his hand. Seeing that he brought out two bowls, Kisa chuckled, ¡°Oh, so you were hungry too.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Gilbert nodded faintly without telling her that he, too, had not had dinner yet. The two of them went straight to bed after having a peaceful noodle meal. When Kisa fell asleep again, it was almost dawn. So, this time, she slept all the way till it was almost ten o¡¯clock.

When she got downstairs, she felt a sharp and cold nce looking her way. Peering over, she saw Gilbert and Mrs. Kooper Sr. sitting at the dining table. And, Mrs. Kooper Sr. was staring at her with a gloomy and disgusted look. Kisa shrugged helplessly, not knowing what she did to cross the old woman this time. ¡®Even though she hates me a lot, she didn¡¯t have to look at me like she wished she could stare me to death.¡¯ Kisa ignored her, nor did she look at Gilbert as she grabbed the strap of her bag and walked toward the door. ¡°Hold it right there!¡± Suddenly, Mrs. Kooper Sr. growled at her. Kisa was in a hurry and ignored her. ¡°Was it you who prodded Gilbert to ask me for the keys to the room on the third floor? Mrs. Kooper Sr. snorted coldly at her again.

What right do you have to enter that room?¡± ¡°Grandma!¡± Suddenly, Gilbert stood up. ¡°How many times have I told you that I came to you asking for the key to sate my curiosity about the locked rooms on the third floor.¡± ¡°Enough. I may be old, but I¡¯m not senile. You have lived in this house for so long and had never been curious about that room. But now, your curiosity is suddenly piqued when this woman moved in?

Kisa¡¯s brows furrowed as she looked at Mrs. Kooper Sr. Based on her reaction earlier, the two rooms were not locked by Mister Miller by ident. However, Mrs. Kooper Sr. refusing to give Gilbert the keys was also what she had expected. What she wanted was not for Mrs. Kooper Sr. to cooperate, but she wanted to pique Gilbert¡¯s curiosity. As long as Gilbert develops a deep sense of curiosity and suspicion about the two rooms, he would find a way to get the keys. If worse came to worst, he would just pick the lock himself. In any case, most of the time, doors were nothing but decoration to this man. As they got into the car, Gilbert handed Kisa her breakfast. ¡°Eat up.

She would never know that she was still snoring away when her rm rang in the morning. ¡®She must be really tired if she¡¯s snoring like that.¡¯ ¡®And, she didn¡¯t even wake up after her rm rang.¡¯ Seeing that she was so exhausted, he turned off her rm without asking. In fact, seeing her so exhausted, he almost did not want her to go to the set to film. It was not like he could not afford to feed her. But, he also knew that she would definitely refuse him if he asked her to quit acting and be Mrs. Kooper to enjoy the luxuries of life he could offer her with peace of mind. He suddenly missed the other her from before so much. She was obedient and would often humor him, unlike now, where she waspletely heartless. He could not get a good grasp of her and felt wholly insecure. Thinking of this, the man¡¯s face tensed up. Kisa held the bag in her hand, and it was still hot. He looked at the man¡¯s tensed face and whispered, ¡°What¡¯s¡­ wrong?¡± ¡°I turned off your rm without asking. It¡¯s my fault,¡± The man suddenly said. Kisa was taken aback, and now it was her turn to feel bad for ming him. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°Ah, forget it. I¡¯m alreadyte. Saying all these now is pointless.¡± As she said that, she took out a piece of sandwich and bit into it. The delicious sandwich immediately improved her mood. Recalling Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s attitude earlier, Kisa turned around and deliberately asked him, ¡°Oh, right. Gilbert, let¡¯s not ask Grandma for the keys, so she wouldn¡¯t get angry. She¡¯s right. It¡¯s just a normal guest room. Maybe it¡¯s true that Mr. Miller locked it up by ident, and there¡¯s nothing there.¡± ¡°Hurry up and eat. I know what to do,¡± The man snorted softly. Kisa then smiled. It was now certain that this man would pry open that door behind Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡¯s back. ¡°Kisa!¡± Upon arriving at the set, Lea immediately ran toward Kisa. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s get changed. The director is already impatiently waiting, and Sharon is taking the opportunity to talk ill about you without even realizing that she herself is alwayste.¡± Kisa subconsciously looked to the center of the set and saw Sharon staring at her with a sneer on her face, as if she was waiting to see her humiliated at any moment now. Kisa was not in the mood to fight with her right now. All of her focus now was to seek revenge on Gilbert and find out about her mother and David Kooper all those years back. As long as that bitch Sharon did not annoy her, she would not bother to give her any attention. However, upon seeing Sharon, she could not help but recall how Carolyn and Adrien flirted with each other in the club. Even now, she could not help but have goosebumps, and her heart felt a chill. She did not know if that father of hers actually knew about it. She actually wanted to know how that father of hers would react if he learned about what was going on between Carolyn and Adrien.

As the stylist fixed her hair, she remembered that she still had two pieces of sandwiches that she had not eaten yet. So, she took them out and ate them as the stylist did her hair. Just as she took a second bite of the sandwich, Lea suddenly gagged and hurriedly ran outside. Kisa looked at her in surprise, only to see her squatting and retching by the flower bed. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1009 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1009 Chapter 1009 Looked Like When She Was Pregnant Questions immediately formed in her head. ¡®What¡¯s wrong with Lea?¡¯ ¡®Did she eat something wrong or¡­¡¯ Seeing her retching like that reminded her of when she was first pregnant. ¡®Could it be¡­¡¯ ¡®No¡­ isn¡¯t Lea still single?¡¯ ¡®When did she get a boyfriend? Why have I never heard her talk about it before?¡¯ Suppressing her doubts, Kisa just sat there and ate her sandwich. The makeup and hairstyling did the same thing day in and out, so the makeup artists and stylist finished their work very quickly. When Kisa was ready and was just about to get out of the dressing room, she saw Lea still patting her chest in difort. Her face was a little pale. She asked thetter worriedly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I probably ate something bad. I keep feeling like I want to throw up, but nothinges out.¡± Lea smiled at her. Kisa frowned as she looked back at Lea. ¡°You better go get that checked at the hospital.¡± ¡°Yeah, we¡¯ll be done early today, so I can head over right away. It¡¯s been like this for the past few days.¡± Lea seemed like she had really eaten something bad, so Kisa did not say much and popped a seemingly innocent question. ¡°Lea, did you get yourself a boyfriend?¡± If it was back then, she would have told Lea everything without any hesitation. There was no need for her to beat around the bush or be vague like now. Ever since the incident at Kerrona Hill, she felt that Lea was acting strange, and it was difficult for her to trust thetter wholeheartedly any longer. She felt Lea¡¯s hand holding hers stiffen a little. A momentter, Lea smiled and said, ¡°Nah. I¡¯m just an average and not-so-pretty woman. No man will ever be interested in me.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t deprecate yourself like that. Everyone has their own charm. You¡¯re the best version of yourself in the eyes of the person that likes you.¡± The smile on Lea¡¯s face froze. ¡®Someone who likes me? ¡®Like Anthony? ¡®Hah, I¡¯m no better than an escort in his eyes, but the funny thing is, I still love him. wholeheartedly. ¡®I¡¯m such a wretch!¡¯ SMACK! ¡°You killed my mother, pushed my father to the edge, and tried to steal my husband.

The emotion is very on point!¡± The director said to Sharon as he praised her. ¡°It looks like a proper beating but better. Look at the hateful look on your face. Such acting skills!¡± ¡°Pffft!¡± Upon hearing the director¡¯s praise, Kisa could not help but smirk. She wondered if the director was actually giving Sharon backhanded praise. She then saw Sharon¡¯s terrifyingly gloomy eyes seething with resentment. Howeyer, Sharon did not scream and shout like before and instead ran to the director and cried, ¡°Director, look at my face. It¡¯s almost disfigured! How can someone act like that? She¡¯s clearly taking advantage of the situation to ruin my face! Kisa admitted that she had struck a little hard, and her palms were still numb from the pain. But, who told Sharon to hit Jolina first? When Sharon hit Jolina, who was ying the role of the maid, she had deliberately hit thetter hard, and her excuse was to make the effect look real. ¡®Hah, and here she has the cheek toin to the director.¡¯ Kisa suppressed the sneer in her heart as she bent over to help Jolina, who was still lying on the ground. ¡®Sharon really did not hold back. Jolina had nothing to do with her, yet she still pped Jolina until her skin tore.¡¯ ¡°Director, you need to stand up for me. If you allow that woman to do as she pleases on the set, how are we supposed to film? Are we supposed to take a beating lying down just because she¡¯s some big shot?¡± Kisa sneered as she walked toward Sharon and the director¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1010 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1010 Chapter 1010 Your Woman Got Beaten Up on Set Again ¡°Oh, Sharon, I didn¡¯t expect your acting skills to have improved so much. So much so that you¡¯re willing to take a proper beating for the scene. It looks like without the ephemeral halo of ¡°Miss international superstar¡±, you¡¯re actually honing your acting skills. Not bad. This is praiseworthy. I¡¯ll tell Gilbertter and allow you to return to GK Pictures.¡± ¡°You!¡± ¡°Alright, Sharon. Don¡¯t you see Kisa praising you? Moreover, didn¡¯t you beat that girl up as well? Consider this matter over then.

And, try to wrap everything up within a month.¡± The director clearly could not be bothered to deal with Sharon and just buried himself in tinkering with his camera. So, thetter could only seethe resentfully at Kisa. Her already slightly misaligned face was swollen with two more p marks, and she looked even more hideous. Kisa, too, did not want to continue to be around her, so she dragged Jolina and left. Sharon, however, suddenly called out to her. ¡°Kisa Becker, it sure feels good being the wife of GK Picture¡¯s CEO, huh?¡± ¡°Oh, and how did you know?¡± Kisa turned around and sneered at her. ¡°Heh, it seems like you¡¯ve totally forgotten about Jensen.¡± Kisa¡¯s lips curved yfully as she tilted her head and asked, ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t be too happy. My mother is about to get together with Mr. Tanner, and he¡¯ll be my father when the timees. I don¡¯t think Mr. Tanner¡¯s power is any weaker than Gilbert, so we¡¯ll see if you dare to insult me again!¡± Upon hearing what Sharon said, Kisa once again felt sorry for that father of hers. ¡®Look at this. This is the daughter he loved and favored so much. ¡®In the end, the same daughter thinks he is useless, and she wants to take another man as her father. ¡®It¡¯s embarrassingly sad when you think about it.¡¯ Inside Club Lovely Serenity. Peter sat on the couch with a lighter in his hand, flicking it from time to time. His eyes were unfocused, as if he was deep in thought. Beside him, Adrien and Carolyn were teasing one another. Anthony, who was seated opposite them, looked on and was straight-up disgusted. Adrien ignored him as he hugged Carolyn and said some old-fashion romantic words. Carolyn, who got pissed off, red at Anthony and hissed at him, ¡°Leave if you can¡¯t stand it. Who are you making that retching face for?¡± ¡°You, of course!¡± Anthony smiled as he looked at Adrien. ¡°Mr. Tanner, I know an ophthalmologist, and he¡¯s really good. How about I introduce you to him and get your eyes checked?¡± ¡°Huh? Is there a problem with your eyes?¡± When Carolyn heard that, she held Adrien¡¯s face with a worried look on hers. As Anthony looked on, he really felt like throwing up. ¡®What a stupid woman!¡¯ ¡®And, her daughter is just as stupid as her!¡¯ Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. He suddenly looked at Peter and said, ¡°I heard your woman got beaten up on set again.¡± Peter narrowed his eyes slightly but did not answer. A smirk appeared on Anthony¡¯s face as he said, ¡°That woman is called Jolina, right? Her face was pped so hard by Sharon that her skin tore. Tsk, poor delicate thing.¡± Peter suddenly looked at Carolyn, and a terrifying and dangerous feeling radiated out from him. Carolyn was shocked and immediately held onto Adrien. ¡°It must be the scene¡¯s requirements or the director¡¯s request. Sharon would never do that on purpose.¡± As she said that, she even shook Adrien¡¯s arm. Thetter gave her a doting look before turning to Peter. ¡°Alright, alright. It was just an act. Don¡¯t take it for real.¡± Peter narrowed his eyes coldly but did not say anything as he got up and went to the bathroom. Inside the bathroom, he unbuttoned his shirt and stared at the birthmark on his chest with a frown. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1011 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1011 Chapter 1011 She Sure is Skilled He did not pay much attention to his birthmark in the past. He just thought that he was just born with it, and there was nothing special about it. And, since his older brother had the same birthmark, he did not mind it at all. But, ever since the day Kisa asked him about the birthmark, and now that he had taken another look at it, he felt something strange. He raised his hand and gently caressed the birthmark. ¡®Did mother have it?¡¯ It seemed like he would need to ask his father about it when he got back. When he came out of the bathroom, Adrien was still hugging and making out with Carolyn. Peter really hated that the woman degraded Adrien¡¯s standing. Anthony had already left a long time ago. He was probably unable to stomach the scene. Peter frowned and looked away, as he walked toward the elevator. ¡°Peter, where are you going?¡± ¡°Going out for a spin,¡± he replied tly. Adrien then let out a genial smile, ¡°So be it, then. But, don¡¯t cause trouble. As for Jolina, it¡¯s probably the demands of the production team. Don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Peter twitched his lips and entered the elevator. ¡®So, Adrien was afraid that I¡¯ll look for trouble with Sharon. Hah, it looks like he is really serious about Carolyn.¡¯ But, no matter how he cracked his head, he could not understand why Adrien would fall for Carolyn. It was as if he was enthralled or something.

Suddenly, he felt that even if Adrien was gay, it was far more eptable than him liking Carolyn. ¡°Oh, Adrien, you¡¯re so nice to me. You always dote on Peter.

I¡¯ll make you feel good tonight.¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± Carolyn rubbed her face against Adrien¡¯s embrace. The shyness on her face belies her age. Meanwhile, Adrien was smoking a cigarette. His eyes cast far away, and a cold yet contemptuous smile lined up the corners of his lips. The filming wrapped up early today, and Kisa did not want to go back and face Mrs. Kooper Sr. this early. So, she changed her destination halfway through the journey and went to GK Pictures to look for Gilbert. Just as she arrived at the floor Gilbert¡¯s office was in and walked into the huge office hall, the originally quiet hall suddenly had a burst of whisperings and chatter. Some of the chatters subconsciously entered her ears, and even if she did not want to hear them, she could not block them out. ¡°Huh, it¡¯s her, the woman who forced Mr. Kooper to marry her using some despicable means?¡± ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s her. She¡¯s pretty sessful, you know. Even when she went to prison, she was still doing so well, and she¡¯s still the wife of our GK Pictures¡¯ CEO.¡± ¡°I know, right? I think we need to get some tips from her. She is really skilled.¡± Kisa frowned rather unhappily. Although Gilbert had disclosed their rtionship to the media, but he did not tell them the truth about them back then. ¡®No, I need to talk to Gilbert about this.¡¯ She did not like people talking about her like that behind her back. Just as she got to the door of the CEO¡¯s office, she was suddenly stopped¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1012 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1012 Chapter 1012 She¡¯s No Better Than An Assistant It was the secretary by the door. ¡°Ma¡¯am, Mr. Kooper is not inside. He is in the meeting room having a meeting with the management team.¡± ¡°Then, I¡¯ll wait for him inside.¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± The secretary looked troubled. ¡°Mr. Kooper had ordered that no one, aside from Mr. Park, may enter his room when he is not around.¡± ¡°¡­Oh, I see.¡± Kisa smiled faintly and said, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll wait for him at the lounge.¡± Although she was smiling, a chill crept into her heart. ¡®It looks like I¡¯m no better than an assistant in that man¡¯s heart. ¡®But, if I can¡¯t enter his office at will, then I¡¯ll never get my hands on GK Pictures¡¯ secrets. And, when the timees, I won¡¯t be able to take over GK Pictures smoothly.¡¯ As Kisa entertained the thought, she suddenly bumped head-on into someone. ¡°Sorry, sorry¡­¡± As the man apologized, he bowed down to pick up the documents that had fallen on the floor. However, the voice sounded somewhat familiar. Just as the person looked up, Kisa realized that he was Shaun Burton. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Kisa asked reflexively. When Shaun saw her, he, too, was surprised. A momentter, he said to Kisa, ¡± J & K Film Group¡¯s HQ has now moved to the GK International Building. Mr. Kooper said it¡¯s easier to manage thepany that way, and it makes important meetings a breeze.¡± Kisa nodded and felt that it was quite reasonable. Shaun looked at her and said, ¡°Miss Kisa¡­ Oh no, I mean, Ma¡¯am. I¡¯m now a member of GK, so I should be calling you Ma¡¯am. Are you here for Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°Yeah, but he¡¯s in a meeting right now.¡± Shaun¡¯s eyes suddenly flickered as he said, ¡°Ah, so Mr. Kooper is in a meeting. When will his meeting end?¡± ¡°Uh¡­ I don¡¯t know. Do you have something urgent?¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Shaun nodded, and his brow furrowed. He seemed to have a very serious matter at hand. Kisa then said, ¡°How about you ask the secretary over there.¡± ¡°Alright, Ma¡¯am,¡± Shaun nodded and took the documents in his hand as he asked the secretary. Kisa looked at Shaun¡¯s back and felt that something was weird. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. ¡®Why didn¡¯t Gilbert call Shaun along for the meeting? With Shaun¡¯s position now, he should¡¯ve been more than qualified to be called into the meeting. ¡®It would be understandable if J & K hasn¡¯t moved over yet. ¡®But now, J & K is already in the same building, and Shaun is also a member of GK Pictures now. So, why didn¡¯t he get Shaun involved in the meeting? ¡®Could it be that the meeting is only about GK¡¯s matters? ¡®But, isn¡¯t GK and J & K onepany now? ¡®That¡¯s not to say Gilbert is deliberately on guard against Shaun.¡¯ With those doubts in mind, Kisa arrived at the lounge.

Shaun said that, his eyes gleamed as he looked at Kisa. ¡°Ma¡¯am, how about you sign on Mr. Kooper¡¯s behalf?¡± Kisa frowned a little. ¡°Me?¡± ¡°Yes, Ma¡¯am. The day I joined thepany, Mr. Kooper had specifically emphasized that I was under your care. So, if I have any urgent matters and he is not around, I can look for you to settle it.¡± As Shaun said that, he hid away the dark gleam in his eyes as he handed the document over to Kisa¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1013 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1013 Chapter 1013 You Have Your Guard Up Against Me Kisa smiled, ¡°I¡¯m afraid not. I might be able to handle some other matters, but I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m not authorized to sign anything. Even if I did, it probably wouldn¡¯t be valid.¡± ¡°It won¡¯t. Mr. Kooper said before that your signature would be considered valid. After all, you¡¯re his wife, the closest person to him. Even Mr. Davian can sign on his behalf, so why can¡¯t you?¡± When Shaun brought this up, Kisa felt a little self-deprecated. ¡®So, I¡¯m really no better than Davian in that man¡¯s heart.¡¯ ¡°Ma¡¯am, please don¡¯t hesitate. Just help me sign this. I just arrived at GK, and I really want to leave a good impression on Mr. Kooper. I really can¡¯t lose this business.¡± Shaun looked as though he was about to go down on his knees for her, looking extremely anxious. Remembering that Shaun was Jensen¡¯s special assistant and was loyal to Jensen, she said, ¡°Alright, then.

Mr. Kooper had already seen it before, and this version is a revised version.¡± As Shaun said that, he handed the documents to Kisa.

As she was done signing, she looked at Shaun. ¡°Don¡¯t celebrate too early. My signature may not be valid.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s just give it a try first. Thank you, Ma¡¯am.¡± Shaun¡¯s eyes suddenly became sorrowful as he said that. ¡°It looks like you are still hanging onto your rtionship with Sir.

It¡¯s natural for me to help you.¡± Shaun took a deep breath, and his eyes looked even more sorrowful. ¡°If only Sir is still around.¡± The very mention of Jensen pricked at Kisa¡¯s heart. She bit her lips and said, ¡°Jensen will wake up. I believe he will!¡± Shaun looked at her, and a dark light shed across his eyes. The lounge was very quiet and well air-conditioned. Kisay on the sofa and read a magazine and very quickly found herself sleepy. She looked at the time, and it was not even four o¡¯clock. So, she decided to close her eyes and take a nap.

She frowned a little and opened her eyes with much effort, and what greeted her was Gilbert¡¯s handsome face. ¡°Is it six already?¡± Kisa muttered. She had not fully woken up yet, so her voice was soft and waxy, which was pleasing to the ears. Gilbert was still mad at her since yesterday, but seeing her soft and obedient manner, his anger disappeared altogether. He then put his coat over her.

It¡¯s just that we haven¡¯t reconciled before this, and I didn¡¯t expect you toe to the office during work hours, so when I instructed the secretary, I forgot to mention you. I will tell the secretary later.¡± Since he spoke so earnestly and exined so quickly, Kisa decided not to make an issue out of it. ¡°So now, are we going out for dinner, or are we going home?¡± ¡°Wait a minute. I¡¯m not off work yet. I still have some business to take care of.¡± ¡°It¡¯s six o¡¯clock. Isn¡¯t it after working hours?¡± Kisa got up and said casually. Gilbert stroked her messy hair with amusement. ¡°Six o¡¯clock?

The atmosphere instantly became tense and eerie. ¡°Yes, Mr. Kooper,¡± the secretary hurriedly said. Strange andplicated emotions rose inside her as Kisa subconsciously nced at the side of Gilbert¡¯s face. There were small chattering voices among the staff after Gilbert went back into the CEO¡¯s office. ¡°Hey, that woman is really terrific. She just ruled Mr. Kooper into submission.¡± ¡°I thought Mr. Kooper loved Sara? After all, Sara was also free toe and go from Mr. Kooper¡¯s office.¡± ¡°It only means that she is more maniptive, so much so that Sara was not her match. We, as women, still have a lot to learn from her.¡± The chatter was interspersed with bursts of mockery. Kisa pursed her lips and said nothing. She just kept her head down as she walked toward the CEO¡¯s office. The mention of Sara reminded her of the time when she was pregnant and brought soup to see Gilbert in his office. But, she was barred from entering. She waited outside for a long time, enduring ridicule and contempt, only to see Sarae out from inside with a smug face. Now, it seemed like she had the privilege to be there because Sara was no longer here. If Sara was still around, she would not be able to get this treatment. She smiled self- deprecatingly as she entered the CEO¡¯s office and shut the door behind her, cutting out all the chatter outside. ¡°Come here for a minute.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1015 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1015 Chapter 1015 Gilbert is Shy Gilbert pulled Kisa over to his desk just as she walked into the CEO¡¯s office. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Kisa looked at him in surprise. Gilbert pushed a stack of documents in front of her and said with a smile, ¡°Sign this for me so that we can leave early.¡± Davian was sitting at the coffee table, sorting out other documents. He smiled at Kisa when he heard their conversation. ¡°Oh yes, Mrs. Kooper, you can help. There are so many things going ontely-the acquisition of J & K Film Group and the internal affairs of GK. Mr. Kooper and I are up to our necks in paperwork.¡± ¡°But, I¡¯m not familiar with GK¡¯s business. I¡¯m afraid-¡± ¡°It¡¯s just signing documents. It¡¯s easy,¡± Gilbert said, pulling a chair over for her. Speaking of signing documents, it reminded her of the documents that Shaun had just asked her to sign. So she asked Gilbert, ¡°Is my signature valid?¡± ¡°You are my wife, and Davian is my special assistant. Your signatures are valid as long as they are stamped.¡± Kisa nodded her head. She previously thought that if her signature was valid, she could then sign GK¡¯s documents at will. But, it turned out that she still had to get it stamped. So, she thought that Shaun would probably have to go to Gilbert and have him sign the document again. She did not mention the document again at the thought of this. Gilbert handed her a pen. ¡°What are you thinking about? Sign it for me. After this, I¡¯ll take you out to dinner.¡± Kisa took the pen and sneered, ¡°Do I look like I want you to take me out to dinner?¡± Gilbert sat down across from her and said with a straight face, ¡°It¡¯s not for you.

Kisa stared at him skeptically, wondering why he acted as if she was more important than GK and if he was trying to make her drop her guard on purpose. In any case, she would not dare to make reckless moves to seize GK again. Otherwise, she might fall into his trap. Kisa just wanted to find out about her mother¡¯s history with Adrien first, in case she and Gilbert had a fallout in the future and she had no chance to go back to the Kooper family. She also wondered when Gilbert would get the keys to the two rooms. She could not help but look at him again at the thought of this. As though Gilbert sensed her gaze, he looked up at her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Kisa smiled wickedly. ¡°You are so good-looking that I can¡¯t take my eyes off you.¡± Gilbert was not used to her ttery behavior because Kisa had never said such a thing before. He blushed as if he was shy. ¡°Don¡¯t be a smart*ss. Get serious.¡± With that, he looked down again. Kisa stared at him curiously. ¡®This isn¡¯t quite right. He is obviously blushing. He is not shy, is he? But, it¡¯s a known fact that he is good-looking, and it¡¯s not like the media and his fans haven¡¯tplimented him like that before. So, why would he be shy? Besides, a man like Gilbert is so mean and cold. Can he even be capable of being shy?¡¯ She thought as she leaned on the desk and tilted her head to look at him. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1016 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1016 Chapter 1016 Something My Wife Gave Me Gilbert looked at her in bewilderment. ¡°What are you doing? You are about to put your face on the table.¡± Kisa grinned wryly. ¡°Gilbert, were you shy when Iplimented you on your good looks?¡± ¡°Heh,¡± the man grunted proudly. ¡°There are plenty of peopleplimenting me on my good looks. Why would I be shy?¡± ¡°Then, why are you blushing, and your ears are red too?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Gilbert tugged at his tie unnaturally. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s the air conditioner.¡± As he said that, he unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves. Just then, Kisa caught a glimpse of the watch on his wrist. The watch was not the one he usually wore but the one she gifted him; the one he had mercilessly pped to the floorst time. She spent a long time picking out that watch, so she recognized it right away. He did not appreciate it at the time, and so she thought he had thrown it away. ¡°Why are you still wearing it?¡± Gilbert was bbergasted. ¡°Wearing what?¡± ¡°The watch. Didn¡¯t you dislike it? Give it back to me. I will return it and get a refund,¡± Kisa said as she straightened her body to grab his wrist, trying to take the watch off him. Davian saw that Kisa was going to jump into Gilbert¡¯s arms from across the table, so he hurriedly turned around with his back to them, feeling speechless. ¡®If you two want to make out, don¡¯t do it here during working hours. Are you guys bullying me just because I¡¯m single?¡¯ he said in his mind. He could not help but think of Felicity, who probably had ghosted him since thest quarrel. Davian was depressed at that thought but found it ring to see the lovey-dovey stuff going on between the two. But even so, with his back to them, he continued to sort out the stack of documents in front of him. Gilbert gently took Kisa¡¯s hand and said to her with amusement, ¡°How can you take back something you gave away?¡± ¡°What¡¯s so embarrassing about that? Since you don¡¯t like it, I won¡¯t force you to ept it,¡± Kisa said, pulling her hand back with force and sitting back in her chair. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Gilbert looked at her with amusement. ¡°Who said I don¡¯t like it? This is something my wife gave to me. I, of course, like it best and will wear it every day,¡± Gilbert said and fondly stroked the watch on his wrist. her Kisa lowered her eyes, not looking at his affectionate face to avoid stirring up emotion again. She suddenly thought that if Gilbert had shown her such a tender and affectionate love when they first got married, she would have been indulged in it and could not have extricated herself from it. It was a hot day in the month of August in Calthon. Jolina was walking back from the set, looking for a part-time job along the way. By the time she got home, she was sweating profusely. Just as she opened the door, she saw a man sitting on the couch, and it scared the daylights out of her. When she saw that it was Peter, her face sank. She thought he would stop pestering her when he did not go to the film set today. She never expected him to find her at her home. ¡°What are you doing here? Get the hell out of here.¡± Jolina stood in the doorway and bellowed at him. Peter was lost in thought, smoking a cigarette. When he heard her voice, he looked at her. Seeing her red and swollen cheek, he narrowed his eyes menacingly. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1017 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1017 Chapter 1017 I Got The Keys Jolina turned her face, not needing his sympathy or for him to be her champion. ¡°Get out!¡± She bellowed at him. Peter did not get angry like he usually would. Instead, he just pointed his chin toward the coffee table. ¡°I got you some medication. Rub some on the affected areas.¡± Jolina frowned, wondering how Peter found out that she was attacked. Suppressing her doubts, she walked over, picked up the medication on the coffee table, and threw it back to him. Then, she said in an icy voice, ¡°I don¡¯t need it. Please get out.¡± She loathed him. It was his deception and schemes that caused her to lose the person she loved the most. She trusted him in the beginning and truly considered him a friend. But, it turned out that he had been up to no good from the very beginning. Peter¡¯s face sank, but he still held back his temper. ¡°Haven¡¯t you had enough fun after all this time? Why do you still refuse to let me go?¡± Jolina said. Peter slowly raised his eyes and looked at her. ¡°You always thought that I was in for fun?¡± Instead of the usual domineering and ingratiating voice, there was a hint of indescribable self¨Cdeprecation in his tone. ¡°I want nothing to do with you, regardless if you are in for fun.¡± Jolina looked indifferent. Peter stared at her sullenly for a long time before looking away. He stopped talking, took out a cigarette from the cigarette pack, and lit it. Jolina did not want to talk to him either. If he liked to stay on her couch, then she would let him be. But, as she was about to go to her room, he suddenly tugged on her arm and pulled her to sit on the couch. Jolina frowned at him. Before she could say anything, Peter said with a weary voice,¡± Sit with me for a while.¡± He was not the same as usual. He used to be irritable, N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. ruthless, and barbaric. But, at this moment, an air of sadness surrounded him. Jolina was not too concerned about his emotions, and she simply said to him, ¡°Will you leave if I sit with you for a while?¡± ¡°Mhm.¡± ¡°Well, remember to keep your word.¡± There was not the slightest trace of warmth in her voice. Peter smiled self¨Cdeprecatingly, as the irritation and mncholy on his face were getting worse. ¡°Your mother must have loved you very much and taken good care of you since you were a child, right?¡± he suddenly said. Jolina did not want to talk to him, so she said nothing. ¡°You always seem so caring and thoughtful. I guess you must¡¯vee from a very loving family.¡± Jolina frowned, wondering what was wrong with Peter today. But, she kept her mouth shut, not saying a word. It was Peter who was doing all the talking, saying something strange -something she did not understand. He mentioned his mother the most, and he never once said a sentence without mentioning her. ¡°What about your mother? Doesn¡¯t she love you?¡± Jolina finally subconsciously asked. ¡°My mother?¡± Peterughed as he leaned back on the couch, exhaling circles of smoke, and sadly said, ¡°She ran off with another man not long after I was born.¡± Jolina was wide¨Ceyed, not expecting such a thing to happen to a family as wealthy as his. She pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment. Seeing his sullen face from the side, she continued to stay silent. In the middle of the night, Gilbert rocked Kisa out of her sleep. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw Gilbert crouching beside her, watching her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Her voice was a little hoarse from too much air conditioning. Gilbert whisked out some keys and handed them to her. ¡°Weren¡¯t you curious about the two locked rooms on the third floor? I got the keys.¡° Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1018 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1018 Chapter 1018 A Strange Room Kisa¡¯s eyes widened as her drowsiness was gone. She sat up and took the keys, as she asked in surprise, ¡°How did you get the keys? Didn¡¯t Grandma refuse to give us this?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to know. I have my own way.¡± Kisa looked at the keys in her hand. Thinking that she was dreaming, she secretly pinched herself on the leg. When she felt the pain, only then was she convinced that Gilbert had really gotten the keys. ¡®He¡¯s really quick!¡® she thought. She quietly calmed down her excitement and tried to keep her face composed so that he would not see her emotions. ¡°Looks like you are curious about what is inside those two rooms, too.¡± Kisa deliberately smiled at him. Gilbert pulled her up. ¡°Cut the crap. Let¡¯s go up and check it out while Grandma is still asleep.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kisa did not even put on her shoes as she followed him outside. It was after 1.00 am, and the vi was just as quiet asst time. Except for this time, Gilbert was with her. So, she did not feel nervous anymore. Even if Madalyn caught her, Gilbert would deal with Madalyn. There were two rooms locked on the third floor in total. However, the thing was, there were too many rooms upstairs, and there were no door numbers on the door. At the same time, the keys were not marked. The two went to the front of the room. where Kisa had previously picked the lock. Kisa could not tell which key was used for the room, so she tried one by one. There were a bit too many keys, some of which were keys to other rooms. Gilbert leaned against the wall and waited quietly as she tried them one by one. She had tried half of the keys, but none of them could open the door. She could not help but feel a little anxious and looked at Gilbert. ¡°You didn¡¯t get the wrong keys, did you?¡± ¡°Impossible. I stole them from Grandma¡¯s safe. She hid them really well. They can¡¯t be fake.¡± Kisa could not help but snicker upon hearing this. She could not believe that he had to resort to stealing. ¡°The other locked room is over there. Why don¡¯t you go over there and try to pick the lock? We really don¡¯t know how long it will take trying one by one like this.¡± All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. He shook his head. ¡°It wouldn¡¯t open.¡± ¡°You have already tried before, haven¡¯t you?¡± Kisa was startled. ¡°Hmm, I only stole the key because it wouldn¡¯t open.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you a good lock picker? You picked the lock in my house so quickly every time.¡± He rubbed his nose. ¡°That¡¯s because the lock in your house is easy to pick.¡± Kisa sneered and tried to mock him when Gilbert suddenly said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you also fail to pick the door last time?¡± Kisa could not find the word to respond. It turned out that he had caught herst time. She pursed her lips and stopped talking, as she continued to try out the keys carefully. Suddenly, she heard a soft click, and the lock finally opened. Kisa was delighted. ¡°It¡¯s open.¡± Gilbert raised an eyebrow and subconsciously stood up straight. Kisa opened the door carefully. Theyout of all the rooms in the vi was the same. She reached up to the wall and turned on the light. As the lights came on, Gilbert quickly closed the door behind him, fearing that Madalyn would notice. The room was neat, but there were obviously more items and furnishings inside than in the other rooms on this floor. Right away, he knew that this was not an ordinary guest room. Rather, it was like a master bedroom that was often upied. Just that everything in the room was covered with white cloth, including the bed, table, and couch. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1019 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1019 Chapter 1019 His Parents Kisa looked around the room. She could not just rummage around to find clues about David and Damon in front of Gilbert. So, she went to the window and peered under the white cloth, under which was a wicker coffee table and two chaise lounges. There were a few magazines on the coffee table. She picked them up and took a look. They were decades old. Next to the magazines was a small picture frame ced face down on the coffee table. Out of curiosity, she picked up the photo frame and looked at it. She was shaken by what she saw. It was a photo of a man, a woman, and a three or four¨Cyear¨Cold child. She recognized the man, as she had seen in her mother¡¯s photo album. It was Damon, Gilbert¡¯s father. She could also immediately recognize the child, despite his boyish face. It was Gilbert. The woman was Gilbert¡¯s mother, Cynthia, it seemed. So, Kisa knew that this was Damon and Cynthia¡¯s room. When she heard footsteps approaching, Kisa hurriedly put the photo frame back in ce and lowered the white cloth again. She knew that if Gilbert saw the photo of his parents, he might be seriously affected. Gilbert came over to her. His expression told her that he was not feeling well, and his eyes were red. He closed his eyes and shook his head, and at other times he clutched his heart in agony. Kisa¡¯s heart sank. ¡®He¡¯s not going to have an attack again, is he? But, everything in this room is covered with white cloth, and he has seen nothing yet.¡® ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± She could not help but ask, holding Gilbert up. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Gilbert shook his head and asked her in a strained voice, ¡°What were you looking at just now?¡± ¡°Oh, nothing. Just a coffee table under that white cloth and a few magazines. I just casually nced at them,¡± Kisa said, intentionally helping him to the door to refrain him from being curious and lift the white cloth. Gilbert¡¯s breathing became heavy as he gazed at the in white cloth in the room. He asked in a deep voice, ¡°Whose room is this? Why did I never know there was a room like this? Why are all these things covered?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. But, I think it¡¯s better if you ask your grandma,¡± Kisa said, putting the key in her pocket. ¡°It doesn¡¯t look like there is much to see in this room. Come on, let¡¯s go back downstairs.¡± She certainly could not search for anything about David in Gilbert¡¯s presence. Since she had the keys now, she would quietly have them duplicated tomorrow. With this thought in mind, she helped Gilbert outside. But, he suddenly pushed her away, covered his head in anguish, and his face contorted. ¡°Gilbert, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Kisa was startled. Gilbert was panting as he stared at the window with bloodshot eyes, hearing voices in his mind. ¡°Come to me, baby. You are such a good boy. I love you so much.¡± ¡°Can you share that with me? Mmm, you are so lovely.¡± ¡°Your daddy is back. Go see what toy he bought you.¡± ¡°Daddy, hug me. I want a hug, Daddy.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Gilbert let out a sudden hiss of distress. The chaotic and blurry images kept shing in his head. He saw a woman sitting by the window with him in her arms, kissing him dotingly, and a man who would buy him all sorts of toys, hold him, and raise him up high with joy. But, he could not see their faces. ¡®Who are they? Who exactly are they?¡® he asked in his mind. Kisa was scared. She was worried that Gilbert had another attack, and that his screams would alert his grandmother and George. She tried to take him out of the room, but he suddenly went crazy and flipped off the white cloth. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1020 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1020 Chapter 1020 Their Deaths are All Your Fault As Gilbert lifted the white cloth covering the bed, the other white cloth on the wall also dropped, revealing arge wedding photo in front of their eyes. It was the wedding photo of Damon and Cynthia. Damon was in a suit, looking elegant, and Cynthia was in a wedding dress with light makeup and a sweet smile on her face. The two of them were a perfectly matched couple. Their clean, simple smiles signified their happiness. Looking at the wedding photo, Kisa was almost certain that Damon and Cynthia were in love with each other, and that there was no room for her mother to get in the way. She wondered how such a happy and loving couple could die in a car ident. Sorrow and regret filled Kisa¡¯s heart as she looked at the two people in the wedding photo. ¡± Gilbert stared at the wedding photo. His eyes went bloodshot, and his body tensed up. Kisa cautiously tugged at him. ¡°Gilbert,e on. Let¡¯s go. Otherwise, your Grandma- ¡°Ahhh!¡± Before Kisa could finish her sentence, Gilbert swatted her aside. She fell straight to the ground, and she hit her head¨Con the edge of the window. It hurt her so much that she saw starbursts. But at that moment, Gilbert suddenly covered his head in pain and hissed in a hoarse, strained voice. ¡°Who are they? W¨CWhy do I feel like I¡¯m remembering them and then somehow not? Who the hell are they? Who can tell me who they are?¡± Gilbert hissed, suddenly bursting into tears.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. Kisa was so shocked that she could not care less about the pain in her forehead. She scrambled to her feet and hugged him with all her might. ¡°Gilbert, don¡¯t do this. Calm down. Just stop thinking about it if you can¡¯t remember. Just stop thinking about it if it is too painful.¡± All of a sudden, the door was pushed open, and Kisa was shocked to see Madalyn walking toward her with a walking stick. Madalyn¡¯s face was grim. She came and yanked her away with force, then pped her hard in the face. Madalyn must have hated and loathed her very much. Otherwise, she would not have mustered such strength at her age. Kisa was smacked to the floor, and her ears were ringing from the p. She could faintly hear Madalyn hissing at her. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault. Their deaths were all your fault. It was all because of you.¡± Kisa thought she must have misheard it. To her knowledge, she was not even born when Damon and Cynthia got into a car ident. Gilbert fainted. Madalyn and George hurriedly had the live¨Cin maids get Gilbert downstairs. Kisa got up from the floor and looked at the wedding photo. The woman in the wedding photo was smiling with her eyes arching like a crescent moon, appearing so bright that they looked as if they were filled with stars, and her face was brimming with happiness. The woman must have been a very gentle person when she was alive. Kisa looked at the woman, as her eyes welled up. She felt as if the woman was smiling at her,forting her, and asking her if it hurt. Kisa pursed her lips, as tears streamed down her face and sadness overwhelmed her. If Gilbert¡¯s parents were still alive, she and Gilbert might not be in this situation today. If Gilbert had grown up under the care of such a gentle woman, he would not have developed this sullen and cold personality. Kisa silently put the white cloth back in ce. Then, she came out of Damon and Cynthia¡¯s room and closed the door behind her. Instead of going downstairs in a hurry, she took the keys and proceeded to open the other locked room. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1021 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1021 Chapter 1021 That Would Be Cruel Since this room was Damon¡¯s, the other room must be David¡¯s. This was her only chance, and she would not have a chance after Madalyn took the keys back. Kisa went to the door and tried to open the door with the bunch of keys she had with her. After trying most of the keys, she finally managed to unlock the door. But, she was in no hurry to enter the room. Instead, she locked the door back. Knowing which key worked, she removed the key from the bunch and put it in her pocket. When she returned to her room, Kisa saw that Gilbert was not there. After a moment of silence, she went back to the room that Gilbert used to upy alone. When she went to the front of the room, she heard the sound of Madalyn¡¯s cries. She did not go in directly but stood in the doorway and looked inside. Gilbert was lying unconscious on the bed while Madalyn sat on the bedside, holding Gilbert¡¯s hand and crying. Kisa pursed her lips, and she did not dare to ask about Gilbert¡¯s condition. She felt that Gilbert was scary when he had an attack. She stood in the doorway for a moment before Madalyn caught sight of her. The way Madalyn looked at her was as though she was looking at her most hated enemy. The hatred and detestation were frightening. It reminded her of the words Madalyn had just yelled at her when she was upstairs. She clenched her hands and asked, ¡°What did you mean when you said that the death of Gilbert¡¯s parents was my fault?¡± ¡°Get out of my sight. I don¡¯t want to see you. Get out,¡± Madalyn growled in disgust. She certainly wanted to tell Kisa the truth, but she did not think that a woman as malicious as Kisa would feel guilty even if she told her. Instead, she thought that Kisa would use the information to hurt her precious grandchild. No one could understand her anguish and hatred, and neither could she tell anyone about it. It did not help that her grandson loved Kisa. She resented this unholy rtionship of theirs, hated Kisa appearing in their lives, and regretted making their marriage possible in the first ce. The abhorrence on Madalyn¡¯s face slowly changed to grief and remorse. Kisa stood in the doorway and quietly watched Madalyn, feeling twitchy. She could only hope that when Madalyn said that the death of Gilbert¡¯s parents was her fault, it was because Madalyn hated her or misunderstood her mother instead of some horrible truth that she could not ept and face. Kisa stood in the doorway and never dared to enter. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Gilbert was lying on the bed, motionless, and no one knew what to do. Madalyn was so anxious that she paced back and forth in the room and kept asking George why Kelvin had not yet arrived. While everyone was anxious, Kelvin eventually arrived with a medical kit in his hand. This time, Gracie also came with him. Gracie nced at Kisa and pulled her aside. ¡°What happened to your forehead and cheek? Who hit you?¡± Kisa shook her head and looked into Gilbert¡¯s room. Gracie followed her eyes and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s not the first time Mr. Kooper had an attack. It was Kelvin who treated him every time. Kelvin knows his condition well. Gilbert is going to be fine.¡± Kisa pulled her eyes back and asked, ¡°Is there really no cure for his mental trauma?¡± ¡°His parents¡® idents caused him too much trauma. The self¨Cdefense mechanism in his mind automatically blocked out everything about his parents. If he wants to recover from this, he must be brave enough to confront his parents¡® death. But, of course, that would be cruel.¡± It saddened Kisa to hear that. ¡°What caused his parents¡® car ident?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1022 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1022 Chapter 1022 You Want to Get Him Killed? Gracie shook her head. ¡°I only heard Kelvin briefly mention that there was a rainstorm that day.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she heard the word ¡®rainstorm¡®. Her mother hated rainstorms, and she was born on a stormy night. Kisa¡¯s face turned pale, and a chill crept up her spine. ¡°Mr. Kooper¡¯s parents were killed instantly in the ident, and he survived the ident because his mother was protecting him with her body. He suffered mental trauma after the ident. The police¡¯s investigation said it was an ident,¡± Gracie said. Kisa pursed her lips. Her hands and feet went cold. She remembered Cynthia¡¯s wedding photos again, and sadness flooded her. Every parent loved their children and was willing to give up their lives for them. Gilbert had witnessed the tragic loss of his parents at such a young age, so there was no wonder he withdrew himself. Kisa was lost in thought as she looked at the unconscious man in the room. Although she knew he was her enemy and she should not feel sorry for him, she still could not help but feel sad, thinking that Gilbert was just a child a little older than Ada and Andrew when the ident happened. Madalyn was guarding Gilbert the whole time, so Kisa did not get a chance to get close to him. She could only observe him from the doorway. Gracie saw that Kisa was not looking well and had bruises on her forehead and face, so she said, ¡°Kisa, go get some rest. Mr. Kooper will be fine.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Kisa said, pursing her lips. She knew she could do nothing by standing in the doorway, so she might as well go back to her room and get some rest. Back in her room, the bed was a mess, just as it had been when Gilbert pulled her up from the bed with the keys in his hand. He was still fine at the time, but now he had a panic attack. Earlier, she had anticipated that Gilbert would suffer another attack if he saw something about his parents. But, she did not expect that it would be so intense. Gilbert¡¯s condition was far more serious and frightening than she had imagined. She was sitting on the couch when the door was kicked open with a loud bang. The noise was particrly jarring in the silence of the night. Kisa turned her head instinctively and saw Madalyn walking toward her with Kelvin following from behind. ¡°Come on, grandma. Gilbert is fine, isn¡¯t he? He will get better after getting some rest. Kelvin tried to stop Madalyn as she angrily stormed into Kisa¡¯s room. She walked up to Kisa and asked, ¡°What exactly were you trying to do by asking Gilbert to go into that room? Everyone knows that no one should talk about his parents in front of him, but you still tempted him to go into that room. What do you really want? Do you want to get him killed?¡± All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. As Madalyn growled in disgust and raised her walking stick to strike at Kisa, Kelvin tried to stop her but to no avail. Kisa grabbed the cane before it hit her and said in a faint voice, ¡°It was Gilbert who took me up there. You can ask him when he wakes up.¡± With that, she gently threw the cane aside. Madalyn, who was holding the other end of the cane, was thrown off bnce. Kelvin quickly helped her and said to Kisa, ¡°Let¡¯s forget it. Mrs. Kooper Sr. is just worried about Gilbert. Please don¡¯t take it personally.¡± Kisa snickered. ¡®Am I the one who is taking it personally now? It was clearly Madalyn who wouldn¡¯t leave me alone,¡® she said in her mind. Madalyn¡¯s chest was heaving with anger. After a long moment, she sternly said to Kisa, ¡°Give me back the keys.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1023 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1023 Chapter 1023 Not Even Gilbert Can Protect You Kisa¡¯s heart sank. But, she was going to return the keys to Madalyn. Although she had taken the two keys to the two rooms, Madalyn would surely check and would soon find out that the two keys were missing from the bunch. So, the best way was to wait for her to duplicate the keys before returning them to Madalyn. With that in mind, she calmly said, ¡°The key is with Gilbert.¡± Madalyn frowned suspiciously. ¡°He doesn¡¯t have it on him.¡± ¡°Then, I have no idea. He got the keys and took me up there. He also said that he stole the keys from your safe.¡± Seeing Madalyn¡¯s increasingly suspicious face, Kisa snickered, ¡°You don¡¯t need to suspect me. There is no way I can guess thebination to your safe. Only Gilbert has that ability.¡± ¡°Humph!¡± Madalyn red at her in disgust. ¡°I don¡¯t care about your intentions in approaching Gilbert and living in the Kooper residence. I¡¯m telling you, if you hurt Gilbert one bit, I will not spare you.¡± All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°Come on, grandma,¡± Kelvin urged. ¡°I think they really love each other. Let¡¯s not doubt her. Come on, let¡¯s go see Gilbert.¡± Madalyn kept on grunting at Kisa in disgust. As she was leaving, she warned Kisa coldly, ¡°Stay away from those two rooms upstairs. You better behave yourself in this house. Otherwise, not even Gilbert can protect you.¡± Kisa secretly clutched the two keys in her pocket, telling herself in her mind that she would surely find another opportunity to check out the two rooms. She remained awake in thetter half of the night. At dawn, she changed her clothes and left the house. Following the navigation, she went to a locksmith store, which duplicates keys. She was too early as the store was not open yet. The sign on the wall told her that the shop opened at 8am in the summer. She looked at the time, and it was some time past 7am, so she figured that there was no harm in waiting. So, she took a look down the alley. The alley was full of breakfast stalls and was quite crowded. She put on her mask and quickly went down the alley to buy a cup of coffee and some sandwiches. When she came back, the locksmith store was still not open. So, she sat on a bench and had breakfast while waiting. Just then, someone familiar appeared on the opposite side of the street. Kisa sat up straight and took a closer look. She saw a ck limousine parked on the opposite side of the road while a woman was leaning over the door of the car, crying and saying something to the person inside. She recognized the woman at once. It was Lea. Kisa squinted but could not determine who was sitting in the car because the windows were tinted. She remembered that Lea was an orphan and had no family and friends in Calthon. So, she wondered who could be sitting in the car. Lea was not looking well, and she seemed sad. She stood up and was about to go over to check it out when a raspy door opening sounded behind her. She subconsciously nced back and saw the store owner yawning as he opened the door fully. ¡°Yo, it¡¯s early in the morning. You want to pick a lock?¡± ¡°No, I just want to duplicate some keys,¡± Kisa said, and then hurriedly crossed the road. But, Lea was no longer there, and the limo was gone. She figured that Lea must have gotten into that car and left. She wondered what had happened to Lea recently, as Lea seemed like she was crying earlier and looking sad. Inside the car, Anthony puffed irritably on his cigarette. ¡°Who told you toe to the hotel to find me?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1024 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1024 Chapter 1024 Are You Really Pregnant? ¡°Exactly!¡± A sultry woman wrapped herself around Anthony and nced at Lea with contempt. ¡°You¡¯re just a ything. You really think you are somebody?¡± Lea clutched onto the pregnancy test report in her handbag. She had gone to the hospital for a check¨C up yesterday after work. When she found out that she was pregnant, she was shocked and happy at the same time. She could not tell if Anthony would be happy to hear about the arrival of the baby. She was in a dilemma for a long time before she finally decided to tell him about it. If he was looking forward to the baby, that would be best. But, if he did not like the baby but despised the child, then she would quietly keep the baby. However, she had waited for him all night at her ce, but he did not show up. When she called him, he did not answer. So, she went to the hotel he frequented to look for him. She was the kind of person that once she had decided on something, she could not wait to carry it out. When she arrived at the hotel, all she saw was him making out with another woman. She knew that he was never short of women, but seeing him with another woman was still too much to bear. After she ruined their fun, Anthony left in a rage, and so this is how they ended up where they were. Anthony puffed out a ring of smoke and squinted at her. ¡°Tell me, why did youe to the hotel to see me?¡± Lea almost crumpled the pregnancy test report in the handbag. She was determined to tell him about the child¡¯s existence. But, at this moment, she hesitated when she saw his grim face. She was a little afraid of him. ¡°Are you f*cking mute? Speak up!¡± Anthony yelled in a sudden rage. Lea shuddered in fear. Not only Lea, but the woman wrapped around Anthony also winced in fear. However, she still nced at Lea in disgust. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Lea¡¯s palms were sweating, and her pregnancy test report was crumpled in her hand. ¡°D¨CDo you like children?¡± she asked in a shivering voice. Anthony frowned. The woman suddenly snickered, ¡°Hey, you are not going to tell Anthony that you are pregnant with his child, are you? Tsk, tsk, tsk. There is no telling whose baby a ything bar girl like you are carrying. Are you trying to pin it on Anthony?¡± Lea ignored the woman and just stared at Anthony with a bit of fear and anticipation in her eyes. The smoke from the cigarette between Anthony¡¯s fingers obscured his facial expression. He squinted slightly and became lost in thought, as if he was caught up in some kind of memory with a voice in his head. ¡°He is that illegitimate child, isn¡¯t he? His mother sells alcohol at the bar for a living. Who knows who the child¡¯s father is? And, she pinned it on our master.¡± ¡°B*stard, beat him up. He is a b*stard child. His mother is a b*tch, so he is the son of a b*tch. Everyone, get him!¡± Just then, the woman climbed onto Anthony¡¯s chest and gave him a peck on his lips, jolting him out of his thoughts. The next second, he mercilessly threw the woman against the car door. Lea shivered in fear and stared cautiously at Anthony. Anthony suddenly looked at her and snickered, ¡°I like children, but I don¡¯t like yours.¡± Lea¡¯s heart sank. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Because you¡¯re a b*tch. How can you be worthy of giving birth to my child when you are just a woman who sells alcohol for a living?¡± Lea¡¯s heart bled as she listened to the man¡¯s cruel remarks. ¡®This man always looks down on me. I should have known better. How could I expect him to love our child when I¡¯m just a ything in his eyes?¡® ¡°What? Are you really pregnant?¡± Anthony shot an icy nce at her belly. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1025 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1025 Chapter 1025 You Must Be Mistaken Lea tensed up and frantically shook her head. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Heh, you better not. Or, I will kill it with my own hands,¡± Anthony said grimly, not showing any emotions. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Lea was shocked and saddened. She waspletely discouraged from telling him about the child¡¯s existence. She realized now that she had overestimated his virtuousness and her ce in his heart. It was uncertain if he remembered his unpleasant childhood, but Anthony felt inexplicably irritated. He looked coldly at Lea and changed the subject. ¡°In a few days, my grandfather will hold a birthday celebration. Kisa will be invited. You are to attend, too.¡± Lea clenched her hands and sadly said, ¡°What do you want me to do? You have already done enough harm to Kisa. Isn¡¯t it enough?¡± ¡°Shut up. I do whatever I want. Who are you to tell me what to do? When I tell you to follow, you follow.¡± ¡°Exactly. How on earth does a ything have so much nonsense?¡± The woman clung to Anthony again, and the two of them kissed as if no one was watching. Lea turned to look out the window, as tears moistened her eyes. After Kisa finished duplicating the keys, she rushed to the set just in time. Lea had already arrived, however. ¡°Kisa, you¡¯re early today. Come on, let¡¯s go change into your costume.¡± Lea smiled at her as usual, with no trace of sadness visible on her face. Kisa was stupefied, wondering if the woman she just saw on the street was actually Lea. Seeing Kisa staring at her, Lea could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Kisa? Is there something on my face?¡± Kisa shook her head and unintentionally said, ¡°I just saw a woman in the street who looks like you.¡± Lea¡¯s face changed subtly. ¡°You must be mistaken. I came directly from home by car. I didn¡¯t hang around on the street.¡± ¡°Yeah, well, maybe I was mistaken.¡± Kisa pursed her lips, not asking any more questions. Even if that woman was really her, she was not going to ask since Lea was not willing to talk about it. After all, those were her personal matters. Just then, there was a suddenmotion in the middle of the set. Kisa looked over curiously and saw a group of people gathered around. She looked at Lea in surprise. ¡°What happened?¡± Lea shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. It was fine a while ago.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take a look,¡± Kisa said, leading the way. Before she could get close, someone pushed through the crowd and rushed toward her. Kisa was startled and moved to the side. Lea also moved to the side with her hands protecting her belly subconsciously. ¡°Who hit her that hard?¡± ¡°It¡¯s so humiliating. Her face is all swollen like a pufferfish.¡± There was a lot of chatter. At this point, Kisa got a clear nce at the personing toward her. It was none other than Sharon. Her face was covered with p marks that were red and swollen. If Kisa did not know her well, she would have trouble recognizing her. Kisa was surprised, and her eyes were subconsciously searching for Jolina. Her gut feeling told her that this must be Peter¡¯s way of taking his revenge for Jolina. Known for his ruthlessness, he almost strangled herst time. Jolina stayed in the corner, also staring at Sharon with a stunned expression. Sharon was as mad as hell, and she lunged at Kisa when she saw her. ¡°You b*tch, it must be you. You must have hired someone to assault me.¡± ¡°me yourself for offending someone. I don¡¯t have time for you.¡± Kisa pushed her away. ¡°Who else could it be if it wasn¡¯t you?¡± Sharon yelled. Even if Kisa knew that it was Peter who did this, she did not dare to tell her. She knew that with Sharon¡¯s attitude, she would cause trouble for Jolina. ¡°If you think that it was me, then it was me,¡± she said absently. ¡°Ahhh¡­ I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Sharon pounced at her again. At the very next moment, a powerful force violently pushed her aside. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1026 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1026 Chapter 1026 You Passed Out Before Sharon could touch Kisa, she was sent flying and crashed into a prop on the side. Silence fell over the entire studio as everyone was stunned by what had happened. Kisa stared dumbfounded at the man who appeared out of nowhere. It was Gilbert. Wasn¡¯t he still unconscious at home? She looked at him and forgot what to say for a moment. ¡°Which one of you hit me?¡± Sharon cursed as she got up from the ground. But when she saw it was Gilbert, she shut up instantly and looked at him in fear. Gilbert did not even look at her, as his eyes were focused on Kisa. Just then, the director hurriedly ran to them. ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± He nced at Kisa and Gilbert, and then at Sharon. After that, the director said to Sharon with disgust, ¡°How are you going to continue filming when your face looks like that? Never mind, we will shoot the scenes of the supporting characters today. All the main cast artists can take the day off.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not my-¡± Sharon was just about to defend herself when the director scurried away after greeting Gilbert. Everyone else at the scene looked at her as if she was a clown. ¡°Why are you here?¡± After a long silence, Kisa asked Gilbert, who had a strange expression on his face. She wondered if he still remembered what had happened in that roomst night. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Gilbert suddenly took her hand and led her outside the studio. His hand felt thick and warm in her hand. Kisa looked at it and was in a trance for a moment. She heard chatters behind her. It sounded like voices filled with envy for her. ¡°Wow, Mr. Kooper is so gentle with Ms. Becker.¡± ¡°Yeah. He said in an interview earlier that Ms. Becker is his only wife. This shows that he really loves her.¡± ¡°Absolutely. Some people are just clowns. They¡¯re obviously a nobody in Mr. Kooper¡¯s eyes, yet they still act so condescendingly. It¡¯s so disgusting to watch.¡± ¡°Who are you talking about, b*tch?¡± ¡°Whoever responds is the one I¡¯m talking about.¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Sharon got into another fight with the rest of the crew. Kisa followed Gilbert and left the studio as he escorted her to the car. Only then she found peace of mind. After they got in the car, Kisa asked in puzzlement, ¡°Tell me, what brought you here?¡± ¡°I woke up, and I didn¡¯t see you. So, I came over to look for you.¡± ¡°Mhm.¡± Kisa nodded her head but did not dare to mention what happened in the roomst night. Despite that, he mentioned it. ¡°Did something happen to mest night? Didn¡¯t we steal Grandma¡¯s keys to open the door to that room? What happened after that?¡± Kisa was surprised. She did not expect that Gilbert would have no memory of what happened and what he saw in that roomst night. Kisa thought for a moment and said, ¡°Nothing happened. We just tripped and fell, and you passed out. And, that alerted your grandma.¡± ¡°I fell?¡± Gilbert obviously did not believe it. ¡°I not only fell but also went unconscious?¡± ¡°Yeah, you see, I also fell and hit my head trying to give you a hand, and I now have grown a bump on my forehead because of that,¡± Kisa said, and she pointed out the bump on her forehead to him. Gilbert frowned. ¡°So, how did I fall so hard that it knocked me out?¡± ¡°Y¨CYou fell on the back of your head.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1027 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1027 Chapter 1027 You¡¯re Suffering from Amnesia ¡°You hit the back of your head directly on the edge of the bed and passed out at once.¡± Kisa made things up. ¡°Then, howe the back of my head doesn¡¯t hurt?¡± Gilbert was even more unconvinced. ¡°Kelvin. Kelvin came to see youst night. He probably applied some magic medication on you, so you don¡¯t feel any pain,¡± Kisa said, with a fortuitous look on her face. ¡°You should be more careful next time. Look at you. You¡¯re suffering from amnesia now. Fortunately, you didn¡¯t be stupid.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face darkened. ¡®Is it that easy for me to be stupid? I think she is treating me like an idiot.¡® ¡°And, what¡¯s with your face?¡± Gilbert nced at the p marks on her face. While he had only fainted, she had bruises everywhere. Kisa was dumbstruck and put her hand to her face involuntarily. Madalyn had pped her so hard that her face still hurt when she touched it after several hours. She smiled at him. ¡°Sharon did it just now. But, you¡¯ve already gotten back at her for me.¡± She certainly could not say that Madalyn did it. Otherwise, he would be adamant about getting to the bottom of it, and it would eventuallye back to his parents story. After witnessing his attackst night, thest thing she wanted to talk about in front of him was his parents. Gilbert sank into silence for a moment, and it looked as though he was struggling to recall the events of last night. But, he still could not recall anything. ¡°So, what is the secret in that locked room? Should we go up there and check it out tonight?¡± he asked. ¡°No. There is nothing to see inside. Just some old furniture.¡± Kisa said, taking out a set of keys from her pocket and giving them to him. ¡°By the way, your grandma asked me for the keys first thing in the morning. I was afraid that you¡¯d still need them, so I lied and said that you had them. I¡¯m giving them to you now, so you can return them to her.¡± Gilbert looked at the keys, then at her. ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want to go up there. and check it out again? Once I return these keys to Grandma, it will be hard to steal them again.¡± ¡°No. There is really nothing to see,¡± Kisa said with a look of disappointment. Gilbert looked at her for a long time and said nothing more. Then, he started the car. ¡°Where are we going?¡± Kisa asked. ¡°To celebrate.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Kisa was stunned. ¡°Celebrate what?¡± While asking, she went through all the possible asions in her head and could not think of what day it was. She tentatively asked, ¡± Is today your birthday?¡± His face darkened upon hearing that question. She had no idea which part of the question upset him. Seeing that he said nothing, she asked again. ¡°It is your birthday, right? Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier, so I could prepare a gift for you?¡± SCREEEEECH! The car screeched to an abrupt stop as soon as her voice trailed off. Because of inertia, her body lurched forward, and the seatbelt strangled her belly, hurting her. ¡°Why did you suddenly stop the car?¡± Kisa asked him snappishly. It scared her when he stopped the car without warning, even though there was no obstacle ahead. She noticed that Gilbert was gripping the steering wheel with a tense, sullen look on his face, as if he was in a fight. She wondered if she had upset him again. Gilbert sulked for a long while before turning his head to look at her. ¡°Until now, you don¡¯t even f*cking remember when is my birthday?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1028 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1028 Chapter 1028 He is Like A Clown ¡®Uh¡­ Am I supposed to know? But then again, I really don¡¯t know when his birthday is. I asked him once when we were little, but he was so cold and arrogant at the time that he ignored me. Jensen did mention it once, but I forgot. But, I really don¡¯t care about asions like this.¡® Kisa looked at his sullen face and asked in a soft voice,¡± So, is today really your birthday?¡± ¡°No!¡± Gilbert yelled at her as if he was afraid she did not know that he was angry. Kisa did not dare to have a fallout with him again, so she yed along. ¡°So, what day is it? Didn¡¯t you just say we are going to celebrate?¡± He pursed his lips and started the car again in silence. Kisa looked at his surly side face in bewilderment as she thought to herself, ¡®What a quirky man!¡® She quietly took out her phone and checked the calendar. It was February 14 today. ¡®Valentine¡¯s Day?¡® She looked over at Gilbert. ¡®Could it be that he is talking about Valentine¡¯s Day? Oh, gosh! A ruthless, unromantic man like him is even aware of Valentine¡¯s Day? What¡¯s even more incredible is that he is taking me out early in the morning to celebrate it.¡® Kisa felt that it was surreal. As affectionate as he was, deliberately taking her to celebrate this asion and touching her heart, Kisa still felt that it was too eerie. The reason was that a man like him celebrating Valentine¡¯s Day itself was creepy. Kisa gulped before she asked, ¡°Are you talking about Valentine¡¯s Day?¡± ¡°No,¡± Gilbert grunted in exasperation, like an admission in disguise. His angry look amused Kisa. ¡®Sometimes, this man is really like a child. Ever so childish,¡® she said in her mind. ¡°But, today is Valentine¡¯s Day and not any other day. Besides, you didn¡¯t know it was Valentine¡¯s Day until you saw your friends talking about it online, didn¡¯t you?¡± Kisa N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. said with a smile. Gilbert took a deep breath in exasperation. ¡®I have remembered this day for days, yet this woman keeps digging at me. I¡¯m full of enthusiasm and even look forward to having a romantic date with her, but she behaves like she doesn¡¯t care. I¡¯m the only one who is looking forward to it like it¡¯s all one¨C sided. I¡¯m like a clown, thinking of ways to make her happy in this rtionship, but she seems to care less. I should stop thinking about it. If I don¡¯t, I will be the only one who is hurt.¡® He said nothing more and just kept driving with a morose face. Kisa stopped digging at him and looked out the window, bing lost in thought. The things that she did not dare to think about when she was a teenager had now been met one by one. But, her mood today differed greatly fromst time. If this had happenedst time, she would have woken upughing in her dreams. But now, she had mixed emotions about it. It was as though her hatred had interspersed with an indefinable emotion. The car gradually drove out of the city and toward the remote suburbs. Kisa had no idea where Gilbert was taking her, and she did not ask. Sometimes, she felt like sitting in the car, staring out the window and at the scenery flying past her. This gave her a rare sense of peace. She liked this kind of feeling, where she did not need to think about anything. She even hoped that the car would never stop. But, she knew that the journey would eventuallye to an end, as nothing was eternal. Gilbert parked the car and said to her, ¡°We¡¯re here. Let¡¯s get out of the car.¡± Kisa got out of the car and looked around in puzzlement. Then, her eyes widened in surprise. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1029 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1029 Chapter 1029 Happy Valentine¡¯s Day, My Dear As far as the eye could see, there was an enormous sea of flowers of all colors. The flowers were all in full bloom, and they were gorgeous in the sunlight. When she got closer, she realized that there were also many daisies and gerberas. ¡°How did you know about this ce?¡± She looked at Gilbert in surprise. Seeing her eyes brighten up, Gilbert¡¯s anger instantly subsided. He secretly admitted he was a wuss before her. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± He took Kisa by the waist and led her into the sea of flowers. There were several elderly farmers working at the nursery. She figured that the elderly might be the ones growing the flowers. ¡°Wee, Mr. Kooper,¡± the elderly farmers greeted. Kisa looked at Gilbert in amazement. ¡°Everyone here knows you. It looks like you¡¯re a regr here.¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha, little girl. It was Mr. Kooper who instructed us to grow these flowers,¡± an old farmer said to Kisa in amusement. N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. ¡°Is GK Pictures venturing into the flower business now?¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes widened in surprise again. ¡°Pfft!¡± The old farmer could not help butugh. ¡°Mr. Kooper doesn¡¯t care about the flower business. He said that these flowers were nted for his wife. We started nting them in Spring. He said he would bring his wife to see them when they were in full bloom.¡± ¡®For his wife?¡® Kisa looked at Gilbert, and her heart skipped a beat. Gilbert seemed as though he was embarrassed by her stare. He coughed and signaled for the two old farmers to shut up. The two old farmers smiled gleefully and guessed that Kisa must be his wife. ¡°We will leave you to enjoy the flowers. We are going into the melon field.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Gilbert said. It was not until the two old farmers had gone far away that Kisa pulled back her and asked, ¡°Are their homes around here?¡± eyes ¡°Yeah. There is a vige nearby. They stay alone and live in hardship, so I found an errand for them. They can help me nt these flowers. Besides them, there are several other elderly who will take turns to look after the flowers every day.¡± Based on Gilbert¡¯s words, it seemed that he created this nursery to aid the elderly. But, there was something she did not understand. ¡®If he could be so kind to the elderly of this vige, why didn¡¯t he do that to those at Hillsby?¡® Kisa thought to herself, gasping quietly and not daring to think too much as she feared that she would reveal too much emotion. ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go inside.¡± Gilbert smiled at her. He then took her hand and walked further into the nursery. Being in a sea of flowers seemed to make Kisa forget all her worries and hatred. Looking quietly at the vibrant flowers made her feel much better. Gilbert hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, ¡°Do you like it? I asked them to nt these. Most of them are your favorite chrysanthemums, which are to make up for the bouquet I didn¡¯t give you when I was young. So, is it enough?¡± Kisa did not expect that he still remembered the incident back then. Fighting back theplex emotions that swept through her, she pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°With so many flowers, it¡¯s more than enough. It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t expect you to be so romantic.¡± ¡°There are more that you didn¡¯t expect.¡± He lifted her chin and kissed her. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously shrank back. He drew his lips close to her ear and said in a sexy, husky voice, ¡°Happy Valentine¡¯s Day, my dear.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1030 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1030 Chapter 1030 I¡¯m Your Husband Kisa looked at him, and she was transfixed. ¡°W¨CWhat did you just call me?¡± ¡°My dear,¡± he answered softly, wrapping his arms tighter and tighter around her. He then covered her lips with his hot, open mouth. At this moment, Kisa was still in a daze, and she did not avoid him. Perhaps it was because she was in a sea of romantic flowers, as her heart fluttered the moment their lips met. Gilbert closed his eyes, kissing her gently but with great devotion. She stared at him in awe, finding his thick and long eyshes casting a gentle shadow on his eyelids in the sunlight. She looked at him as if she was looking through him and at the arrogant boy who she had a crush on back then. Kisa slowly lifted her hands and wrapped them around his strong, slender waist. The sea of flowers behind him became the most beautiful background in the world under the sun, so beautiful that it dazzled her eyes. She closed her eyes, not thinking about anything again. She continued to just feel his soft, almost cotton¨Clike lips and get intoxicated by his kisses. It was alreadyte in the evening when they got back to the city. ¡°If you like chrysanthemums so much, why don¡¯t you pick a few?¡± Gilbert asked her with amusement in the car. ¡°They wither quickly after plucking them out. Let them grow in the nursery, then I can go look at them when I feel like it or in a bad mood.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Gilbert held the steering wheel with one hand and sped her hand with the other. ¡°That sea of flowers is all yours. I can take you there anytime you want,¡± he said dotingly. Kisa pulled her hand back awkwardly. ¡°Keep your eyes on the road. Don¡¯t get distracted.¡± Gilbert chuckled, ¡°We already arrived.¡± As he spoke, he pulled the car to a stop. She nced outside through the window and saw a quaint Lyonnaise restaurant.¡± You said you really want to have Lyonnaise cuisine. This one is good.¡± Kisa looked wonderingly at him, who had stepped out of the car. Perhaps it was because of Valentine¡¯s Day that Gilbert was unusually gentle and considerate to her. While she was thinking, he had walked around the front of the car and came to help the door. her open ¡°Let¡¯s go. We are going to dinner, and then we have business to attend to tonight.¡± He smiled and reached out to help her out. Kisa was baffled. ¡°Business? Is itpany business?¡± She asked. And then, as if she suddenly realized it, she said, ¡°You have been very busy recently, but you still spent time with me all day today. Let¡¯s go inside. After the meal, you can hurry back to the office. I don¡¯t want to take the me for obstructing your work.¡± Kisa was striding toward the restaurant when Gilbert suddenly pulled her back. He wrapped his arms around her, not minding if people were watching. He then whispered in her ear, ¡°It¡¯s Valentine¡¯s Day, so what business do you think it would be?¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Kisa looked at him, none the wiser. ¡°Come on,¡± Gilbert smiled helplessly, wondering why she was such a slowpoke. ¡°What does the business this evening has to do with Valentine¡¯s Day?¡± She looked at him with clear, clueless eyes, which made him seem a little evil. But, there was such a romantic atmosphere tonight, and he did not want to miss this opportunity. He leaned close to her ear and evilly chuckled, ¡°Of course they are rted. The night of Valentine¡¯s Day is the perfect time for making out.¡± Kisa froze for a couple of seconds before knowing what he meant. She quickly pushed him away. ¡°You rascal.¡± Gilbert was amused. ¡°I¡¯m your husband. How am I a rascal?¡± Mixed emotions rose within her, and she felt her cheeks burning. She stopped talking to him and walked toward the restaurant. BANG! Suddenly, several people stormed out of the restaurant.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1031 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1031 Chapter 1031 There¡¯s No Use Beating Her to Death Kisa walked too quickly and bumped into the people in front of her. She promptly swayed and fell butt first. Gilbert was startled. He quickly caught her and pulled her into his chest. ¡°Why are you in such a rush? It¡¯s not like I¡¯m going to eat you!¡± Gilbert spoke in a suggestive tone. However, Kisa was too distracted to bother. She stared intensely at the three who had just exited the restaurant. The three were none other than Adrien, Carolyn, and¡­ Christopher. Christopher did not seem to notice Kisa and kept tugging on Carolyn¡¯s arm. His eyes were bloodshot and brimming with anger. ¡°You easy b*tch. You¡¯re old and gray, yet you¡¯re secretly spending Valentine¡¯s Day with this man? You¡¯re so shameless!¡± Then, he raised his arm and pped Carolyn. Christopher was furious, so his p was hard and forceful. The force of Christopher¡¯s p flung Carolyn to the pir beside them. But, it was not over yet. Christopher quickly strode up to Carolyn-who was lying by the pir-and kicked her violently. Kisa turned to Adrien in shock. She thought Adrien would stop Christopher¡¯s violent actions. However, to her surprise, he merely stood aside and watched. Possibly noticing Kisa¡¯s gaze, Adrien finally trudged over to them. He pulled away Christopher, who was in a rage. Then, he smiled at him. ¡°There¡¯s no use beating Carolyn to death. She and I are truly in love with each other.¡± ¡°Truly in love, my *ss! At this age, there¡¯s no true love,¡± Christopher growled. He red at Adrien and scoffed, ¡°You may be well-dressed and act like a decent person. But, it turns out, you¡¯re a lowlife who specifically seduces other men¡¯s wives. I¡¯m going to beat you two to a pulp!¡± Christopher roared as he raised his hand to p Adrien. Before Christopher could p Adrien, Carolyn promptly stood up and shoved him aside. ¡°Get lost, you coward! You¡¯re nothingpared to Mr. Tanner. Let me tell you something: I like him, and I love him. And, I¡¯m not afraid to tell you that he and I slept together long ago, so I¡¯m already his woman!¡± All content ?

And, one more thing, I¡¯ve given my half of The Case Group¡¯s shares to Mr. Tanner. Once we get divorced, I¡¯ll marry him. Meanwhile, you can go die alone, you coward!¡± Carolyn roared. She disdainfully threw a spittle at Christopher. Then, she held onto Adrien¡¯s arm and walked to a car near them. When Carolyn walked past Kisa, she sneered at her, ¡°Look at that. I have the man who abandoned your mother under my feet, and he¡¯s being humiliated by me. If your mother knew about this, she¡¯d be rolling in her grave! HAHAHA¡­¡± Carolyn¡¯sughter brimmed with glee. Kisa abruptly clenched her fists. She was suddenly reminded of her mother¡¯s miserable years, and she felt her heart clenching in pain. She promptly raised her hand and violently pped Carolyn. ¡°Even so, you¡¯re nothingpared to my mother.¡± Carolyn was in shock after the p. ¡®Christopher can p me, but this b*stard child is no better than a servantpared to Sharon. She has been dirt under my feet since she was a child, so who is she to p me?¡¯ she thought. ¡°AHHHH!¡± Carolyn shrieked and stretched her hands toward Kisa¡¯s face, preparing to scratch her. Gilbert¡¯s gaze darkened. Just as he was about to take action, Carolyn¡¯s hands were pulled aside by another wide hand.

Let¡¯s not argue with them. Your face is already beaten up so badly. Come on. I¡¯ll take a look at it in the car.¡± Carolyn was very obedient to Adrien¡¯s words. Upon hearing Adrien¡¯s words, she immediately followed him into the car. After they left, Kisa finally turned to Christopher. She saw him squatting next to a pir, painfully hugging his head. ¡®He probably had never been in this much pain, even when my mother died. All I remember is the time my mother fell incredibly ill, and I didn¡¯t have the money to let her see a doctor. I went to the Case residence to borrow some money from him, but I was chased out by the housekeeper just as I got to the door. Even though I shouted¡± dad¡± at the door, all I saw was my father and Carolyn walking out of the house together. I ran up to him and grabbed him, telling him that mom was sick and that we didn¡¯t have the money to see a doctor. Just as he was about to give me some money, he pushed me aside heartlessly all because Carolyn said, ¡°she¡¯s just a b*stard child.¡± Then, he left with Carolyn. Even though my mother recovered on her own at that time, this incident remained a thorn in my flesh, which led to my father and me never being close. After that, the Case family only took me back because of my mother¡¯s will. In her will, she stated that I was truly his daughter. But, despite my mother¡¯s will, he still did a DNA test before epting me back into the Case family,¡¯ she thought. ¡®And yet, what kind of life did I live in the Case residence? On the surface, I was the youngdy of the Case family. The truth was, I was no better than a servant. Whenever something happened to Sharon, father took all his anger out on me. Back then, Sharon would put on an act and pretend to care about me. she¡¯d send me food and drinks and defend me. Little did I know that woman was faking it all. I had always been no better than a servant in Sharon¡¯s eyes. My existence was to enhance Sharon¡¯s greatness,¡¯ she thought again. Gilbert subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand. Seeing Kisa¡¯s downcast expression, he said, ¡°Sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have brought you here.¡± Kisa suppressed the thoughts of her unhappy past. She smiled at him and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Come on, let¡¯s go inside.¡± Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Kisa moved her gaze away from Christopher. Then, she walked into the restaurant. However, Christopher stopped her right after she took a few steps. He gripped her arms and looked at her through snot and tears. He said in immense remorse, ¡°Kisa, I must¡¯ve been possessed back then. I actually divorced your mother and married that b*tch. Kisa, I wronged your mother! I really regret it, Kisa!¡± Kisa peered at him icily, ¡°Will your regret bring my mother back to life?¡± Christopher stiffened and said sorrowfully, ¡°But, you can¡¯t me me entirely for what happened back then. Your mother bottled up her feelings and never told me a thing. That¡¯s why I listened to Carolyn¡¯s incitement and divorced your mother. Your mother was stubborn. She didn¡¯t even say a thing to make me stay. I would¡¯ve never divorced her if she had said something and stopped being so stubborn.¡± ¡°Regardless of that, my mother can¡¯t be brought back to life. Since you married Carolyn, you two can do whatever you want. It¡¯s out of my control. Besides, didn¡¯t you tell the media that we¡¯re no longer father and daughter? That being the case, there¡¯s no need for you to tell me all this.¡± After Kisa finished speaking, she ignored Christopher and his remorseful cries and dragged Gilbert into the restaurant. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1033 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1033 Chapter 1033 Watching an Animated Film Nevertheless, Kisa teared up after they entered the restaurant. She took a deep breath and forcefully kept her tears at bay. ¡®I¡¯m not feeling sad for Christopher. Getting sad for a heartless father like him is not worth it. That father of mine only feels remorseful because he has finally seen Carolyn¡¯s true colors. What¡¯s the use of his remorse? After all, my mother is nevering back. I¡¯m feeling sad for my mother. They ruined her life, and she deserved better,¡¯ thought Kisa. Seeing her reddened eyes, Gilbert felt a twinge in his heart. He worriedly held the woman in his arms. ¡°Why don¡¯t we go to a different restaurant?¡± Kisa shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± She smiled and turned to Gilbert. ¡°Did you make a reservation ahead of time?¡± ¡°Mhm,¡± he nodded and led her toward their pre-booked private room. Kisa had a smile but was still in low spirits. She barely ate a thing. Meanwhile, Gilbert was feeling immense regret. ¡®I never should¡¯ve brought her here for dinner. Christopher and Carolynpletely ruined the mood. Those mood killers made Kisa unhappy.¡¯ he thought. Since Kisa was not in the mood to eat, Gilbert could not stomach anything either. He watched the woman. She was staring at the food in front of her in a daze, not taking a single bite. Gilbert smiled at her with a glint in his eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s go for a movie after our meal.¡± Kisa promptly lifted her head to meet his gaze. ¡°A movie?¡± ¡°Mhm¡­¡± Gilbert answered and took out his phone to book the tickets. He continued, ¡°But, since it¡¯s Valentine¡¯s Day, we¡¯ll have to see if there are any tickets left.¡± Kisa gazed at him and suddenly remembered the suggestive things he had said to her in front of the restaurant just now. She asked in a tentative tone, ¡°You¡­ Didn¡¯t you say we have some business tonight?¡± Upon asking, Kisa immediately realized her question seemed as if she was looking forward to it. At that moment, she wanted to bite off her own tongue. ¡®I was only asking to confirm if our ¡°business¡± is called off,¡¯ she thought. Gilbert lifted the corner of his lips. Then, he smirked at her, ¡°If you¡¯re so keen about it, we could go back this very instant!¡± Kisa hurriedly averted her gaze. She could not stand looking at his smirk. She responded glumly, ¡°I¡¯m not.¡± Gilbert noticed her bad mood and stopped teasing her. He lowered his gaze and booked tickets on his phone. However, all he found was an animated film-the type meant for children. The tickets for romance films werepletely sold out. He frowned and said to Kisa, ¡°We¡¯re toote. The tickets are practically sold out. There¡¯s only an animated film with tickets left.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll watch the animated film, then.¡± Kisa did not want to go home with him that soon. ¡®All this man thinks about is pointless things like that. I¡¯ll stall for time for as long as possible. It¡¯ll be best if he¡¯spletely beat when we get home. He¡¯ll wash up and go straight to bed.¡¯ Gilbert peered at the Barney and Friends poster, and the corner of his lips twitched. ¡°Alright. Animated film it is, then.¡± It was Valentine¡¯s Day, so practically all of the couples and married couples were watching romance films. Animated films like Barney and Friends only suited parents with children. Since children typically did not stay outte, the movie screening was quite early. After Gilbert and Kisa finished their meal, they rushed to the movies and were just in time.. Gilbert had never seen movies in the cinema. He walked around the ticketing hall for a while before mimicking others to retrieve their tickets. After getting the tickets, he saw many people holding popcorn and sodas, so he also purchased a huge bucket of popcorn and a big cup of soda. Kisa waited for Gilbert at the lounge. When she saw him appearing with a huge bucket of popcorn, she immediately burst outughing.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1034 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1034 Chapter 1034 I¡¯m Going to Exhaust Him! The man¡¯s serious expression made the huge popcorn in his arms look out of ce. ¡®He even looks a little¡­ cute,¡¯ thought Kisa. Gilbert walked up to Kisa. He saw the corner of her lips curve upward but did not know what she was thinking. She seemed pretty happy. ¡®If she¡¯s happy, I¡¯m happy too,¡¯ he thought. He handed her the tickets and said, ¡°Let¡¯s enter the venue.¡± ¡°Mhm.¡± Kisa took the tickets. She peered at the huge bucket of popcorn and asked in amusement, ¡°You didn¡¯t have enough to eat just now?¡± ¡°I did.¡± ¡°Then, the popcorn¡­¡± ¡°I bought it for you. Isn¡¯t everyone buying it?¡± Gilbert said and looked around them. ¡°Mhm¡­¡± Kisa nodded and secretlypared the size of their bucket with other people¡¯s. Then, she said to the man, ¡°Was there a need for you to buy such a big bucket?¡± ¡®Thankfully, he¡¯s the one holding it. If I were to hold it instead, it would probably cover my entire face,¡¯ she thought. ¡®Oh!¡¯ thought Gilbert. He was startled. ¡°I just told them to get me the biggest bucket. I didn¡¯t expect it to be this big.¡± Kisa was speechless. She walked toward the entrance with their tickets. Meanwhile, Gilbert quickly caught up to her. Once they entered the venue, Kisa realized that they practically had the entire hall to themselves. There were only two of them in the screening hall. ¡®Everyone must be spending Valentine¡¯s Day and watching a movie more appropriate for this day,¡¯ Kisa thought. Gilbert felt even more pleased without others around them. Right after they sat down, he held the woman¡¯s small hand tightly and was reluctant to let go. Kisa tried to retract her hand a few times, but the man¡¯s grip was too tight, so her attempts were to no avail. There was a sound, and the movie started. Kisa whispered to him, ¡°Alright. Hurry up and let go of me. The movie¡¯s starting.¡± However, Gilbert acted as if he did not hear her. He leaned into the chair and narrowed his eyes, ¡°You can watch the movie while I get some shut-eye.¡± Kisa frowned, ¡°You¡¯re tired?¡± ¡°No!¡± ¡°Then, why aren¡¯t you watching? Are you not interested in this movie?¡± Gilbert opened his eyes and nced at her before quickly closing them again. Then, he smirked mischievously, ¡°I need to get some rest. Otherwise, how will I energy for tonight?¡± Kisa was speechless again. ¡®It looks like he still hasn¡¯t given up on tonight¡¯s n,¡¯ she thought. Suddenly, Kisa had an idea. She purposefully said to him in a disappointed tone,¡± Even though I do want to watch this animated film, watching it alone isn¡¯t fun. Let¡¯s go if you don¡¯t want to watch it.¡± Then, she stood up as if she wanted to leave. Gilbert quickly pulled her back. He smiled at her in resignation. ¡°Alright. I won¡¯t sleep. I¡¯ll watch it with you.¡± Kisa smiled. ¡®I¡¯m going to exhaust him!¡¯ she thought. The sceneries in the movie were stunning, and the characters were adorable. Kisa enjoyed watching the movie. Meanwhile, Gilbert had no interest in the childish cartoon. Even though he did not feel sleepy initially, the film made him drowsy, and he continuously yawned. Since he promised Kisa that he would watch the movie till the end, he forced his eyes to stay open. However, he could not resist his immense drowsiness as he watched the childish and boring movie plot, especially when the screening hall was dimly lit. Gilbert was so sleepy that he kept on nodding off. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Kisa kept on ncing at Gilbert. Whenever she noticed the man almost fell asleep, she would seemingly and inadvertently cough. Then, the man would quickly immediately wake up, put on a refreshed expression, and peer at therge movie screen. Kisa was amused by his actions. On the other hand, Gilbert never expected himself to go to the movies to watch such a childish and boring movie. Gilbert finally made it to the end of the movie. Just as the lights in the hall lit up, the man instantly stood up, rejuvenated, ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go home.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1035 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1035 Chapter 1035 Waiting for Her to Enter The Lion¡¯s Den Kisa held her unfinished soda conflictedly. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go home yet,¡± she whispered. Gilbert nced at his wristwatch and frowned, ¡°It¡¯s almost ten o¡¯clock. What do you want to do if you don¡¯t want to go home?¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m hungry. I want some supper!¡± Gilbert nced at the bucket of popcorn that was practically untouched. ¡°You¡¯re¡­ Hungry?¡± he asked doubtfully. ¡°Mhm!¡± Kisa nodded furiously, ¡°Let¡¯s have some meat skewers.¡± Gilbert crossed his arms across his chest and side-eyed her. ¡°I assume you¡¯re not trying to exhaust me because you¡¯re worried that I¡¯ll do something to you when we get home?¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Kisaughed awkwardly, ¡°How could I? You¡¯re so strong your energy could never be depleted.¡± ¡°You bet!¡± the man snorted. However, he still agreed to her request. ¡°Alright. We¡¯ll go for meat skewers.¡± It was Valentine¡¯s Day, so the streets were packed with people even at this hour. Gilbert led Kisa to an alley. The alley was crowded from one end to the other. The food stalls there were practically overflowing with people. The two searched for a long time until they finally found an empty table. Gilbert ordered a lot of food. Their food arrived one after another. Kisa was already full before all of their food arrived. After all, she was never hungry from the start. Seeing how the woman could no longer stomach anything yet continued to eat, Gilbert did not expose her. He took a sip of alcohol. When he saw Kisa forcefully eating the meat skewers, he could not help but laugh, ¡°Aren¡¯t you hungry? Eat up. There¡¯s still plenty of food ¡°Oh¡­ Okay¡­¡± Kisa answered. Then, she lowered her head and continued eating her meat skewer. Kisa usually loved eating meat skewers. However, she had so much of it today that she would not want to have any in a while. She turned to the man. He was looking at her with an energetic look as if he was waiting for her to enter the lion¡¯s den. Kisa lowered her head. Suddenly, she had an idea. She promptly lifted her gaze to meet the man¡¯s, ¡°Isn¡¯t it Valentine¡¯s Day today?¡± Gilbert nodded, ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Then, why didn¡¯t you give me flowers? Look! Every single woman here has received flowers.¡± Gilbert smiled slightly. ¡°Wasn¡¯t gifting you a sea of flowers enough?¡± ¡°They¡¯re not the same. How could they be the same? I can¡¯t hold a sea of flowers in my hands and brag about it. I¡¯m empty-handed. People will think that I didn¡¯t get flowers on Valentine¡¯s Day. How embarrassing is that?¡± Gilbert nodded his head in amusement. ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll go get them now.¡± ¡°Mhm. But, you need to get them yourself, not your subordinates. Otherwise, it¡¯ll seem insincere.¡± ¡°Alright, alright.¡± Gilbert knew what she was doing, but he still did not expose her. Instead, he stood up and walked out of the alley. Kisa gazed at his retreating back. Then, she subconsciously smiled. On their way here, Kisa had already observed their surroundings. ¡®At this hour, the flower stalls by the streets are practically sold out, let alone the florists. It¡¯s impossible for him to get any fresh flowers,¡¯ she thought. Kisa stopped forcing herself to eat the meat skewers after the man left. She leaned into the chair and leisurely scrolled through her phone. It was Valentine¡¯s Day, so her phone screen was filled with disys of affection. Kisa only scrolled for a while before she felt bored. Just as she lifted her head, she saw two familiar figures. ¡®Huh?! Isn¡¯t that Davian and Felicity? Davian is such a liar. He¡¯s always acting like he doesn¡¯t like Felicity and her being around him. And, what do you know? He¡¯s here to spend Valentine¡¯s with her,¡¯ she thought. The two were walking in Kisa¡¯s direction. She quickly lowered her head, fearing they would recognize her. The two walked past her and sat at the table behind her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1036 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1036 Chapter 1036 Eavesdropping on Their Argument ¡°You didn¡¯t prepare a romantic candlelight dinner, and you brought me here to crowd- watch? How insincere of you, Davian. For goodness sake, it¡¯s Valentine¡¯s Day!¡± Davian defended himself in an aggrieved tone. ¡°I can¡¯t cook, and the restaurants are all overcrowded. So, I have no choice but to bring you here. Besides, there¡¯s a variety of food here for you to try.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you learn ahead of time if you don¡¯t know how to cook? Couldn¡¯t you have booked a private room ahead of time if the restaurants were overcrowded? You¡¯re insincere. Stop making excuses. It¡¯ll only make you look more guilty!¡± The two started arguing the moment they sat down. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. This time, Kisa was on Felicity¡¯s side. ¡®That¡¯s right. It¡¯s Valentine¡¯s Day. Since you¡¯ve decided to spend it with her, you need to be more sincere. Take a look at Gilbert; he knew he had to book a private room ahead of time. Davian¡¯s genuinelyckingpared to Gilbert. Even though Gilbert¡¯s probably faking it¡­ Davian isn¡¯t faking it, even for a little, so how¡¯s he going to make a girl happy? It¡¯s no wonder he¡¯s been single since he was born,¡¯ thought Kisa. Davian continued defending himself. ¡°You didn¡¯t even tell me you wanted to spend Valentine¡¯s with me ahead of time. You only told me just now.¡± ¡°Hah¡­¡± Felicityughed icily, ¡°And, you have the gall to bring this up. You knew today was Valentine¡¯s Day, yet you didn¡¯t think of asking me out? I had to make a move myself. Are you or are you not a man?¡± Kisa facepalmed. She also thought Davian had messed up. ¡®Since he likes Felicity and has slept with her, then he should be more sincere. Why did he let her make the first move? Serves him right for being single!¡¯ thought Kisa. Davian felt exasperated and wronged, so he did not speak. Then, Felicity asked, ¡°Where are the flowers?¡± Davian responded quietly, ¡°I don¡¯t have any; they¡¯re all sold out. I went to many florist shops, and even the flower stalls by the streets. They¡¯re all sold out.¡± ¡°That¡¯s an excuse. How could the flowers be sold out this early? Besides, couldn¡¯t you have bought them ahead of time? Even if you don¡¯t have a use for them, there¡¯s no harm in buying a bouquet or a single stalk of flowers, right?¡± Felicity¡¯s criticism was extremely harsh. However, Kisa actually found that her words made sense. ¡®A person who¡¯s truly single has a usible excuse not to know about having to buy flowers. But, Davian and Felicity had already gotten intimate. They seemed to be in a rtionship, yet Davian didn¡¯t even think of preparing something. He deserves to be criticized,¡¯ Kisa thought. Davian felt even more wronged. ¡°They¡¯re really sold out. Besides, flowers are really popr today. Even if I bought them ahead of time, I wouldn¡¯t necessarily be able to get any.¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± Felicity¡¯sugh grew icier. ¡°You said you couldn¡¯t find any, then¡­ how did Gilbert Kooper find them?¡± ¡®Gilbert Kooper?¡¯ Kisa wondered. She froze and quickly lifted her head. As expected, she saw Gilbert holding arge bouquet of roses and walking toward her. The man had outstanding looks, a tall physique, and an air of elegance. Now that he was holding a bouquet of flowers, he stood out even more among the bustling crowds in the alley. Gilbert¡¯s gaze was fixed on her. He walked up to Kisa and handed her the bouquet of roses, ¡°Happy Valentine¡¯s Day, my wife.¡± ¡®This is his second time calling me his wife. The first time I heard him say it, I waspletely startled. It felt as if he wasn¡¯t talking to me. Now that I¡¯m hearing it again, I can¡¯t stop my heart from skipping a beat. I have to admit; this man is a pro in the game of love. I always can¡¯t help myself from falling for him. So what if I admit that I¡¯m touched? I¡¯m still going to take my revenge!¡¯ thought Kisa. Suddenly, Felicity leaned over. Felicity shed her an ingenuine smile. ¡°Oh? It¡¯s really you. I was wondering why you looked so familiar.¡± Kisa smiled awkwardly. ¡°Yeah. What a coincidence!¡± ¡°What were you doing just now? Davian and I were arguing intensely, but you werepletely silent. Were you pretending not to know us?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1037 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1037 Chapter 1037 Even I¡¯m Reluctant To Scold My Woman ¡°Why would it?¡± Kisa said with a surprised smile, ¡°We were the ones who invited them, so we were embarrassed to interrupt the both of you.¡± ¡°Mm, If Davian and I were to argue, you¡¯d be too embarrassed to interrupt too.¡± Felicityughed as her gaze fell onto the big bouquet of roses, ¡± Oh, these flowers are so dazzling. Mr. Kooper, where did you buy them? Someone said that all the flowers at the florist have been sold out!¡± Davian stared at Gilbert glumly, ¡°You really are the greatest. You even brought such a big bouquet of roses here for fear of others not knowing how great you are!¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Gilbert squinted his eyes and red back at him, ¡°Who else can you me except yourself for not having the ability to coax and make women happy?!¡± Gilbert was ultimately his superior. All it took was one chilly nce from Gilbert for Davian to immediately became a wimp. He merely went over and sat down. He looked at the flowers in Kisa¡¯s arms, but the words he said were meant for Felicity, ¡°Mr. Kooper, these flowers must have been prepared beforehand, right? Or you must¡¯ve had subordinates run all over Calthon to buy them.¡± Gilbert leaned back into the chair and huffed coolly, ¡°As luck would have it, I went to a few florists by myself just now and bought these flowers.¡± Felicity immediately red at Davian, ¡°You didn¡¯t have the heart to do it, and you still have the audacity to be jealous of someone else!¡± Desperate to prove his innocence, Davian angrily looked at Gilbert, but asked very carefully, ¡°This shouldn¡¯t be. Haven¡¯t all the flowers at all the florists been sold out?¡± Gilbert chuckled while ncing at Davian, ¡°Have you gone to all the florists in Calthon? Besides, as long as you have the will, what can¡¯t be bought?¡± Davian still tried to defend himself. Felicity stared daggers back at him, ¡°Just shut up. You never had the will to see it through!¡± ¡°I¡­ What do you mean I don¡¯t have the will? You said toe and apany you for Valentine¡¯s Day, so I came here in an instant. What else should I do then? Doesn¡¯t that count as having the will?¡± ¡°You just don¡¯t have the will, scumbag. Sleeping with me and still not wanting to take responsibility.¡± ¡°Y-y-you¡¯re bbering nonsense. Stop mentioning the incident from that night.¡± ¡°You guys hear that? After taking advantage of me, he doesn¡¯t allow me to mention it. If he isn¡¯t a scumbag, what is he?¡± Kisa watched the both of them fight with a headache. In the end, she could not help but say to Davian, ¡°You¡¯re in the wrong too. You¡¯re not treatingdies with sincerity. Since you and Felicity have this type of rtionship, then you should face it and go take responsibility.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, wahh¡­,¡± Felicity said while still hugging Kisa¡¯s arm and wailing in grievance. Davian was anxious and growled at Kisa, ¡°How am I not being sincere? I¡­¡± ¡°Mmm?¡± Davian had just growled a single sentence at Kisa when Gilbert coldly red at him, ¡°Have you really grown some guts and a pair of b*lls? Even I¡¯m reluctant to scold my woman, and you still dare to growl at her?!¡± ¡°No, Mr. Kooper. I¡­ I was just suddenly anxious, so my voice unconsciously became louder. It wasn¡¯t actually shouting at.the madam¡­,¡± Davian quickly exined. Felicity coldly huffed at him, then cried about it to Gilbert, ¡°He doesn¡¯t just shout at your woman. He even shouts at me at every turn, Gilbert. These past few years of our friendship have been in vain. You actually introduced such a cranky scumbag to me. Wah¡­¡± Gilbert said to Felicity emotionlessly, ¡°Since it¡¯s so difficult for both of you to get along, you should break up. It was I, the matchmaker, who failed it.¡± He finished speaking and pulled Kisa toward him, ¡°If both of you want to fight, then continue to fight. I¡¯m not going to waste my precious time on you two.¡± After finishing his speech, he just dragged Kisa and walked away, leaving Felicity and Davian to stare at each other. In the car, Kisa hugged the bouquet of flowers and smiled at Gilbert, saying, ¡°You did the matchmaking, and Davian is also your special assistant. Why did you not help him a bit just now, and you even brought such arge bouquet of flowers to humiliate him?¡± ¡°Davian is like a log. If I don¡¯t force him a little, he¡¯ll never understand what love truly is.¡± Kisa stared at his side profile without blinking and thought, ¡®What¡¯s he going on about Davian not knowing what love is? Does he himself even know anything about love?¡¯ Gilbert started the car and said, ¡°Thankfully, it was Felicity. Any other woman would have furiously walked off instead. Kisa subconsciously nced at the alley, not talking. Gilbert did not bring her back to the Kooper family home. Instead, he brought her to his own vi. Kisa stayed in the car stubbornly and stalled, unwilling to get out of the car. Gilbert opened the door at her side and chuckled, ¡°Do you want to get out of the car yourself, or do you want me to carry you out?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1038 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1038 Chapter 1038 You Can¡¯t Run Off This Time, Can You?! Kisa clutched her bag strap, ¡°Why aren¡¯t we returning to the Kooper family home?¡± ¡°It¡¯s already morning. What happens if we wake grandma and the kids when we return?¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Kisa still wanted to say something, but Gilbert had already bent down to carry her. Kisa quickly shrunk back, ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll get down the car myself.¡± She pushed Gilbert away and walked down from the car on her own. Gilbert¡¯s private residence was tranquil, with no servants. The door opened, and with the light shining in from the yard, the inside of the house was surprisingly not very dark. Kisa fumbled to turn on the lights, but before she could do so, Gilbert suddenly pinned her body between his chest and the wall. Gilbert chuckled and said in a low, husky voice, ¡°After stalling for so long, you can¡¯t run off this time, can you?!¡± ¡°W¡­ wait for a bit. Turn on the lights. We¡­ we should shower first.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of turning on the lights!?¡± Gilbert smiled dubiously, then his long arms went under her knees and directly held her horizontally. Kisa gave a startled cry and subconsciously hooked onto his neck. Kisa¡¯s heart was beating fast, and she only felt Gilbert carry her as if she was weightless, bringing her upstairs. In the bathroom, the bathtub was full of water. The showerhead was turned on, and the entire bathroom was steamy. Amidst all the steam, Kisa could hardly see Gilbert¡¯s face clearly. She could only feel the gentleness in his voice. His tone was low and husky, and she felt as if it was the most pleasant voice in the world. Throughout the whole experience, Kisa felt giddy and light-headed, like she was on cloud nine. Meanwhile, somewhere else, Davian and Felicity were going at it as well. ¡°Mmm!¡± Davian was kissing Felicity so passionately that she could not stand upright. She ced her hands on his shoulders. Her sultry expression was tinged with seductiveness. ¡°Get on the bed!¡± Even though Davian was hopelessly lost when it came to romance and feelings, at his age he had just started having sex, so he was enthusiastic and eager when it came to sexual matters. Hearing Felicity tell him to go onto the bed, he did not dy the slightest and quickly carried her onto the bed. As both of them were in heat, Davian¡¯s phone suddenly rang. He ignored it and continued to kiss the woman lying under him. Felicity chuckled, ¡°You keep calling me annoying all the time. Not so annoying now, am I?¡± ¡°Nope!¡± Davian said without lifting his head. Felicity wanted tough, but her teasing words were stillced with sarcasm, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say what happened that night was only because you were drunk? We haven¡¯t even drunk any alcohol tonight. Yet look how indecent you¡¯re acting.¡± Davian lifted her head reluctantly to look at her, ¡°Can you stop ruining such a good moment and just focus?¡±N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. ¡°Hmph!¡± Felicity pouted and turned her head to the side. Davian could onlyugh while trying to coax and kiss her. ¡®This woman really is a subus. She¡¯s the one who always keeps trying to seduce me. Yet she¡¯s trying to make me feel guilty at a time like this!¡¯ Davian¡¯s phone rang again and again. In just a short while, it had already rung four times. What little intimate mood and atmosphere that was left was utterly wasted. Upset, Felicity pushed off the man on top of her and shouted at him, frustrated. ¡°Can¡¯t you turn off that damn phone?!¡± ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯ll turn it off now!¡± Davian said, and immediately went to grab his phone. However, when he saw the caller ID, his brow furrowed. Felicity quicklytched on and kissed him, ¡°Come on, turn off the phone. I¡¯m still here waiting for you, you know? ¡°Wait. Quiet down for a damn second!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the big deal?!¡± Although Felicity grumbled unhappily, she did not fuss anymore. She merely leaned against the bedpost and red at him coldly. Davian quickly picked up the call. It was his subordinate at GK Pictures who had been calling. Since they were calling thiste, and kept calling repeatedly, it must have been something of urgent importance. The call got through. ¡°Mr. Special Assistant, sir, something¡¯s happened.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1039 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1039 Chapter 1039 What¡¯s That Medicine?

Felicity glumly stared at him, ¡°What happened?¡± Davian ignored her, as if he did not hear her question. In a sh, he got dressed. He picked up his phone and dashed toward the door before remembering Felicity¡¯s presence. He promptly said to Felicity with regret, ¡°S¡­ something happened at thepany. I¡¯m going over to handle it.¡¯ Felicity¡¯s face fell, and she pulled over the nket to cover herself and huffed coldly,¡± Go then. Go, and don¡¯te back!¡± ¡°Okay, then you should get some rest,¡± Davian finished speaking, and closed the door, foolishly presuming that he was being considerate and gentlemanly toward her. Watching the closed door, Felicity furiously threw a cup at it. ¡°Davian, you prick. Don¡¯t you even dream of ever touching me again in the future!¡± Kisa woke up at midnight and felt very thirsty. The man next to her was sleeping soundly. Kisa moved away his hand from her waist, and then got up to put on a nightgown before walking out of the room. She was unfamiliar with Gilbert¡¯s private residence, but fortunately, the structure of the rooms was simr to that of the Kooper family home. Kisa came downstairs and just poured a ss of water before she suddenly thought of something. She hurriedly walked to the door to look for her bags. Gilbert had been so impatient earlier. Right after entering through the door, he had started to¡­ N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Her bag was left at the foot of the wall by the door. She walked over and opened her bag. Inside was a bottle of contraceptive pills that Kisa had bought in secret. She knew she could not count on Gilbert taking any precautionary measures, so she could only do it herself. She went back to the sofa and swallowed the pills along with some water. Gilbert¡¯s low, hoarse voice suddenly came from the corridor. Kisa subconsciously hid the pill away and replied to him, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, just vitamins.¡± Gilbert harshly furrowed his eyebrows. His sharp gaze tightly locked onto the tiny bottle gripped tightly in her hands. Kisa shrank further back into her chair and could not help but hide her hands behind her back. It wasn¡¯t that she was afraid of him. It was just that, at that moment, she did not want to see Gilbert angry since every time he got angry, he would punish her, Until Gilbert got close, then only did Kisa discover that he had already been appropriately dressed as if about to go out. She looked at the hanging clock on the wall out of instinct. It was around two in the morning. She could not help but ask, ¡°You¡¯re going out at this time? Did something happen?¡± ¡°Mm. Company affairs,¡± Gilbert answered but did not forget the bottle of pills in her hands. He bent down, cing both hands on her sides, ¡°What is that medicine? Show me.¡± His voice was still quite gentle. Kisa hesitated a bit and still shook her head, ¡°Just normal vitamins. You should go quickly and handle your things.¡± ¡°You really won¡¯t show me?¡± Gilbert¡¯s face fell slightly. Kisa was still hesitating. Gilbert suddenly stretched out his hand and went around to her back. With a swift move, he grabbed the bottle of pills out of her hands. ¡°Eh!¡± Kisa gave a shriek, but Gilbert had already stood up straight. His deeply sunken eyes suddenly became sharp and wicked when looking at the bottle¡¯s exnation. ¡°Kisa, you really ate these pills?!¡± Kisa hung her head and made no sound. Since he was about to go out anyway, she would just let him scold her until he was satisfied. ¡°How badly do you not want to bear a child for me, huh?¡± Gilbert was furious. He had assumed that when she had mentioned contraceptive pills previously, it had just been a figure of speech. He had not thought that this woman would really take them. ¡®The side effects of this drug are severe. Kisa¡¯s sacrificing her own health just to avoid bearing a child for me. Then, what about the child that she gave birth to before? What was it to her? Gilbert thought. He continued his thoughts, ¡®Did she really get pregnant just to marry into the Kooper family and to conveniently ckmail me? If not for her goals, would she not be willing to give birth to my child at all?¡¯ Thinking of this, Gilbert¡¯s expression immediately turned sinister and malicious. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1040 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1040 Chapter 1040 His So-Called Crazy Actions Gilbert immediately grabbed Kisa¡¯s throat and gritted his teeth, growling disappointedly, ¡°Since the start, what have I been to you in your heart?¡± Kisa was afraid that Gilbert would lose his mind and hurt her in anger. Hence, she tried to exin herself. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t misunderstand. Last time, I said my current status and situation are unsuitable for bearing children.¡± ¡°Not unsuitable but unwilling. You¡¯re afraid the baby¡¯s sudden arrival would destroy your n of getting close to me, right?¡± Kisa widened her eyes widely and hurriedly shook her head, ¡°Of course not. What are you bbering about?¡± Gilbert was only trying to probe by purposely speaking like that just now. However, Kisa¡¯s reaction made his heart heavy and anxious. He forcefully swung Kisa onto the sofa. Gilbert suppressed his anger and said, ¡°You¡¯d better not be lying to me. If not, I won¡¯t know what crazy actions I would resort to.¡± Gilbert¡¯s voice was calm, as if not having any emotion. Yet Kisa inexplicably felt a chill down her spine. He looked at her intensely, then exited the house with giant strides. Kisa stared at the empty entrance in a daze while his heart felt extremely flustered. Gilbert, when he was being ruthless, was actually terrifying. However, how could she be afraid of him? There was so much hatred between them. Kisa could not be scared of him and could only hate him. His so-called crazy actions were merely life-and-death situations. It was only her life that was at stake, so she was not afraid. The car started and drove into the night. Gilbert gripped the steering wheel tightly. Davian¡¯s words lingered in his ears. ¡°Mr. Kooper, the company has met with an incident. The losses are severe, and I¡¯ve checked. This incident is connected to your wife.¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Just when he received Davian¡¯s call, he was still trying to find an excuse for Kisa and forbid Davian from talking about her in a bad light. He thought Kisa was careless and unintentionally caused this loss. However, the moment he saw Kisa secretly ingest the contraceptive pill with his own eyes, his firm beliefs deep down suddenly became slightly hrious. If she truly loved him, why would she rather eat contraceptive pills that hurt her health than bear his children? The only exnation was that she was afraid the idental arrival of the child would sabotage her ns. Especially since thepany was facing a crisis, these two points forced Gilbert to suspect her sudden change in attitude and her true intentions for returning to his side. Initially, when she had returned to his side at the very start, he had forced himself not to think so much and not fuss too much. Yet he was losing more and more control of his inner thoughts and feelings now. After Gilbert left at midnight, he did note back again. For thest half of the night, Kisa slept on the sofa. When she woke up, it was eight in the morning. Kisa got up to wash and then waited at the main entrance for her ride. She wanted to take a cab to the production studio. However, after waiting for a long while, there was not a single cab. It was apparent this was a high-end private property residential area.. Regr cabs would not enter here. She went back to the yard. She was thinking about how to get to the production studio when she suddenly noticed the car that Gilbert had driven off at midnight still parked in the yard. It was just that when he leftst night furiously, he clearly drove this car! She actually saw it with her own eyes. ¡®Why would that car still be here? Could Gilbert havee back during thest half of the night? But I slept in the living room. I would have known if Gilbert indeed came back once he entered the house. Unless Gilbert did not enter the house,¡¯ Kisa thought. Thinking of this, a guess was floating in her mind,¡¯ After he came back during the back half of the night, could he have stayed inside the car all along?¡¯ When she thought of this, she hurriedly walked toward the car¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1041 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1041 Chapter 1041 Something Serious The car windows were dark. Kisa leaned onto the car¡¯s windshield and looked around for a long time. She could not clearly see if there was anyone inside. She tried to pull open the car doors and actually got them opened. She hurriedly gave a thorough sweep of the car interior. No one was in the car, but the car keys were still in the ignition and had not been pulled out yet. Kisa scrunched her brows in suspicion. What she was able to confirm was that Gilbert came back during thest half of the night. ¡®However, how did Gilbert leave silently? Could it be that he was afraid that I would not be able to call a cab, so he purposedly drove the car back to leave it for me?¡¯ She thought. Thinking about it now, she immediately shook her head. It would be impossible for Gilbert to treat her so considerably. Not to mention, when Gilbert leftst night, the aura of hostility surrounding him made it seem as if he wanted to kill her. However, she still searched high and low around the house, making sure Gilbert was not around. Only then did she drive the car to leave. When shooting her scene during the day, Kisa was a little restless. She would always feel that something terrible was about to happen. During the intermission, Arie purposedly walked in front of Sharon to ridicule her, ¡°The great movie star Sharon, your parents and Mr. Tanner¡¯s scandal have been published in the newspaper. Not to mention, will your mother truly divorce your father to go with Mr. Tanner?¡± ¡°Since the press published it, do you think it would be fake?¡± Sharon smugly chuckled, ¡°So, all of you better treat me more courteously in the future. Mr. Tanner is actually the biggest investor for this shoot. If you all dare to make me unhappy, with just a word from me, Mr. Tanner will fire all of you.¡± Sharon¡¯s words managed to have a significant effect on the others. Sure enough, many people went to cozy up and curry favor with her. Arie huffed scornfully and paced her steps to the front of Kisa. She pointed at Sharon with disdain while saying, ¡°Kisa, look at her being all smug. With her mother¡¯s turning gray and her ugly fat figure, would Mr. Tanner really be interested in that? Only someone like her would daydream like this all the time. Before this, she imagined herself bing Mr. Kooper¡¯s woman. Now, she is dreaming about her mother bing Mr. Tanner¡¯s woman.¡± She continued on, ¡°Tsk, tsk. She truly has absolutely no shame.¡± Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. When Arie mentioned this, Kisa remembered the scene she saw yesterday at the restaurant entrance. Even at the clubhouse, she had seen Carolyn and Adrien¡¯s intimate behavior toward each other. But when Christopher had hit Carolyn yesterday, from Adrien¡¯s reaction, she felt that Adrien did not actually like Carolyn. ¡®However, if Adrien doesn¡¯t like Carolyn, why did he get involved with her? He¡¯s even pretending to like Carolyn so much. Could Adrien actually have a grudge against Carolyn and Christopher?¡¯ Contemting about this, Kisa suddenly felt that Adrien was a strange and mysterious person. Even though he always showed concern for them as a senior and even said he was an old acquaintance of her mothers, as she thought more about it, she realized that she did not understand Adrien as a person at all. It would have been so much better with Jensen around. Jensen and Adrien had known each other for a long time, and Jensen was the one who had introduced her to Adrien in the first ce. His understanding of Adrien would definitely be much more profound than hers. The shooting for the drama was about to be wrapped up, so the production set had not been as busy the past few days. Work had ended very early today too. Kisa drove her car and prepared to return to the Kooper residence. However, remembering that Gilbert had left in the middle of the night due topany affairs, she was afraid that something serious had happened to thepany. Besides, when Gilbert left, he had been furious. So, she had to go coax and calm the man down with sweet talk. After all, she still had to rely on Gilbert to stay in the Kooper family. Before she could go to Adrien¡¯s room to find out the truth, she could not be expelled from the Kooper family, Thinking about this, she immediately turned her car around and drove toward the GK Pictures building¡­ X Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1042 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1042 Chapter 1042 You¡¯re Not Worthy She walked to the front of the CEO¡¯s office as she was familiar with theyout. Kisa looked around the office hall in suspicion. Usually, when she came over, the employees would secretly insult and talk about her behind her back. < Why was it so quiet today? All of them were doing their work while hanging their head. The atmosphere seemed unexpectedly eerie. Could it be that Gilbert warned them before and forbade them from insulting Kisa among themselves? Kisa shook her head and did not think more of it. She pushed open the CEO¡¯s office door and went in. When she entered, the office immediately erupted into waves of quiet discussion. ¡°I heard that our losses this time were really heavy. It¡¯s all that Kisa¡¯s fault.¡± ¡°I truly don¡¯t know what Mr. Kooper was thinking. There are so many women out there who are so much smarter and more beautiful than her. Why does Mr. Kooper always protect her?¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. ¡°Her seduction tactics and sexual charm are too good. Anyways, GK Pictures is going to be ruined her this time. Kisa stood in the CEO¡¯s office and gave a nce around. There was no one inside. She sat on the sofa for a while, but Gilbert still did not appear. Just as she was about to stand up and ask the secretary where Gilbert had gone, she saw Davian walking in carrying a pile of files. Davian acted as if not he did not see her and arranged the files onto the desk properly, and then turned around to prepare to go back. Kisa dipped her head to look at herself, baffled. Could it be that she had suddenly obtained the ability to turn invisible? Watching Davian pull open the door to go out, Kisa hurriedly shouted for him,¡± Davian!¡± Then only Davian stopped in his steps but asked her with a face filled with impatience, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Seeing Davian¡¯s attitude, Kisa subconsciously furrowed his brows. This Davian did not learn anything else but the terrible temperament of his boss. He had known it to the fullest. ¡°All of GK Pictures is very busy at the moment. If you have no issues, then go back and get some rest. Don¡¯t stay here and disturb everyone¡¯s work!¡± Davian¡¯s tone was filled with resentment and disdain. Kisa felt despondent. Being despised by Gilbert, she still felt nothing from it. But she was actually being despised by Davian. Davian usually would not treat her with this attitude, but something definitely has happened. Thinking of this, Kisa asked him, ¡°What about Gilbert?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper is not here!¡± ¡°I know he¡¯s not here. I just wanted to ask you, where is he?¡± Davian scrunched his whole face and did not answer. His entire body oozed out much resentment. Kisa looked at him confused, ¡°What happened to you? Did you get scolded by Gilbert again?¡± Davian still did not answer. Kisa tried tofort him, ¡°That¡¯s alright. Gilbert, he is that type of person. His temperament s weird and unpredictable. Once his mood is not good, he just takes it out on the people around him. After so many years, you would be fine as long as you get used to it.¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Kisa had just finished talking when Davian immediately roared at her angrily. ¡°What qualifications do you have to speak of Mr. Kooper like that?! Mr. Kooper has done so much for you. Even though you¡¯ve made such a big mess now, he did not say anything bad about you., He even forbade us to discuss it, yet what about you? You only know about Mr. Kooper¡¯s wrongs. You are fundamentally not worthy of bing Mr. Kooper¡¯s woman and not worthy of being the madam for GK Pictures!¡± Hearing his roar, Kisa¡¯s face fell, ¡°Davian, did you eat gunpowder? You dare scream at me?!¡± ¡®Wait, he just said that I made a big mess. What does he mean?¡¯ She furrowed her brows and stared at Davian, asking severely, ¡°What happened? What did I do?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Davian angrily huffed, then went to open the door and leave. Kisa dragged him back with a pull, ¡°Tell me now, what mess did I actually make? Also, where is Gilbert? I want to see him!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1043 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1043 Chapter 1043 He Loves You ¡°You can¡¯t see Mr. Kooper anymore!¡± Davian said bitterly. Kisa looked at him with a deep gaze. ¡°I can¡¯t see him? What do you mean?¡± She asked. Davian lifted his head irritably as if he did not want to talk to her. Kisa was mad. She patted him on the shoulder and said, ¡°Well? Say something!¡± ¡°Sigh. Mr. Kooper is on a business trip, and I don¡¯t know when he will be back.¡± ¡°A business trip?¡± Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. ¡®He never mentioned a business trip before. Something urgent must¡¯vee up,¡¯ she thought. Kisa knew that there was a problem in thepany because Gilbert would not have left hurriedly in the middle of the night. Moreover, Davian telling her that she had made a huge mess further confirmed that the problem was rted to her. Kisa could not help but panic when she thought about it. ¡°What happened at thepany, and what does it have to do with me? Tell me!¡± She quickly nced at Davian and said. Davian pursed his lips in anger and did not say a word. Kisa was annoyed. ¡°If you pity him that much, then tell me what happened. I can¡¯t feel sorry for Gilbert if I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on,¡± she said. ¡°Ugh!¡± Davian stomped his feet angrily and said, ¡°The contract you signed caused trouble for GK Pictures. Several hidden uses in that contract were not in favor of GK. I don¡¯t know why you would sign that contract. You literally dug a grave for GK.¡± ¡°Wait, what? The contract I signed?¡± Kisa suddenly remembered that Shaun had asked her to sign an agreement. ¡°I did sign a contract, but isn¡¯t it considered null since I¡¯m the only one on there? Didn¡¯t Gilbert say it needs to be stamped to be a valid contract?¡± She subconsciously asked. ¡°Yeah, but when J & K Film Group moved here, Mr. Kooper said that your original stamp is still valid to facilitate your handling of things. So, you and Shaun did not need his permission for some things. He gave you great power. But, I didn¡¯t expect you to take advantage of J & K merging with GK to sign an agreement that is not good for GK Pictures with anotherpany.¡± Kisa froze when she heard what Davian had said. ¡°I was even wondering if you gave J & K Film Group to Mr. Kooper because you wanted to take the opportunity to harm GK Pictures,¡± Davian said sadly and indignantly. Kisa shook her head and said in disbelief, ¡°Why would someone as smart as Gilbert give me such power? I mean¡­ He should have guessed that I would¡¯ve done something like that. Why would he give me a power that is equal to his? If I really wanted to bring GK down, I could just go around signing contracts with otherpanies. There¡¯s no way he didn¡¯t foresee a scenario like this. He is Gilbert Kooper. How could he be so careless?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s because he loves you. He thinks that you are more important to him than GK and that you would never betray him. But, look at what happened¡­¡± Davian stared at Kisa with great disappointment. ¡°Mr. Kooper repeatedly emphasized that you can¡¯t know about this. He thinks that your signing on that contract was just an unintentional mistake. He even got mad whenever anyone talked sh*t about you.¡± Kisa unsteadily took two steps back. It was unknown whether her face turned pale because of the shock she was experiencing or something else. ¡°How could it be a mistake? Your name is on that contact. I¡¯m sure you read through the terms and conditions. You must¡¯ve agreed with them and signed it,¡± Davian said dejectedly. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1044 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1044 Chapter 1044 Don¡¯t Say I Didn¡¯t Warn You Davian could not help but look at Kisa with resentment when he talked to her. ¡°No matter what we tell Mr. Kooper, he refuses to believe that you would betray him. Everyone says he is a clever and capable man, but he is aplete fool who lies to himself in front of you.¡± Kisa could not utter a single response when she was faced with Davian¡¯s condemnation. She was shocked, confused, and angry. Davian stared at her like he was staring at a stranger and said, ¡°At first, I thought you still had feelings for Mr. Kooper. I thought that you still loved him. But this incident has made it clear that you don¡¯t. No matter how kind Mr. Kooper treats you, you are still indifferent to his actions. Do you know that during the five years you were so-called ¡®dead¡¯, he went to your grave every day, drunk, and kept shouting your name?¡± ¡®How could that be true???¡¯ Kisa was baffled. ¡®That man was the one who wanted me dead. How could he possibly show such affection for me during all those years? What in the world is going on? Did Davian say that on purpose just to make me feel guilty?¡¯ Kisa¡¯s thoughts were all over the ce, and she almost lost all judgment. Only two truths appeared in her mind-one was that Gilbert loved her and had nothing to do with everything terrible that had happened to her, while the other was that he did not love her at all and wanted her dead, and the affection that he showed was just an act to deal with Jensen and her. Kisa did not know which to believe. Every time she thought that the other was the truth, when all her emotions broke loose, and she nned on how to get revenge, someone came and overthrew everything she believed in. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. The stark contrast in both truths made Kisa feel exhausted and miserable. Sometimes, Kisa felt that the revenge she nned was a joke. She held her head in agony and asked, ¡°Where did Gilbert say he went for the business trip?¡± ¡°Who knows? He left in a hurry. When he was leaving, he was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t have a car to use the next day. So, he insisted on driving the car back here and asked me to take him to the airport,¡± Davian said with a sad tone. A pang of pain shot through Kisa¡¯s heart uncontrobly when she heard that, and a teardrop finally fell from her eyes. Davian looked at her and said, ¡°Mrs. Kooper, I¡¯m begging you, even if you don¡¯t have feelings for Mr. Kooper, please don¡¯t hurt him.¡± Kisa did not answer. Instead, she just shook her head senselessly. Davian did not bother to tell her off anymore. ¡°Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you, Mrs. Kooper,¡± he said and went out the door. Kisa slumped down on the couch in a daze. She rested her elbows on her knees and buried her face in her hands. ¡®Should I trust the facts before me, or should I go with my heart? I can¡¯t believe he gave me that kind of power. Does he really trust me that much?¡¯ Suddenly, a sharp pain arose in her heart again as she remembered how Gilbert had stormed out in the middle of the night. ¡®He already knew about the contract, but he didn¡¯t tell me about it, nor did he reprimand me,¡¯ she thought. Kisa took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling with her bloodshot eyes as she thought, ¡®What kind of a person are you, Gilbert Kooper?¡¯ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1045 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1045 Chapter 1045 She Became A Viin Gilbert could be extremely affectionate and cold to Kisa, but Kisa did not know which side of him was real. So much so that she never dared to fully believe the affectionate side of him. She stared at the ceiling in a daze for a long time and got up to walk out of the room. By the time she was out of the CEO¡¯s office, she had already packed up all her emotions. She could still hear the discussions in the hallway the moment she opened the door, but they abruptly stopped when she walked out. Kisa looked around and felt the resentment in those people¡¯s eyes. She was now a viin in GK Pictures, and Shaun was the one to me. Kisa had a special type of trust in Shaun when she signed the contract because he was Jensen¡¯s assistant. She had read the most important part of the agreement, but the document was too thick. So, she just scanned through it. Moreover, Shaun kept urging her to sign it, which caused her to be careless. ¡®Now that I think about it, Shaun tricked me. He must have had his eyes on me the moment I entered the building. Gilbert and Jensen¡¯s secretaries never told me the meeting would be held until 6:00 p.m. That means Shaun must¡¯ve lied about it!¡¯ Kisa was angry and annoyed after she looked into the matter. She thought she was clever, but she was actually being used. The entire management team of J & K Film Group was on the 16th floor of the building, four floors away from the CEO¡¯s office of GK Pictures. Although the logo on the door belonged to GK, the whole floor was dedicated to J & K. It was the first time Kisa came to this floor. Shaun had his own office there. Kisa had one too, but because she was busy filming. So, she seldom went in there. Hence, Shaun took care of everything that was going on in the office.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. Kisa did not know much about Shaun, but she felt that he was not a bad person and would not be too ambitious to try anything since he worked for Jensen. However, it seemed that she was wrong, and Shaun was an ambitious, back-stabbing man. When she arrived at Shaun¡¯s office, she knocked on the door. ¡°Come in,¡± Shaun soon voiced out before Kisa opened the door and went in. Shaun, who was smoking a cigarette on the chair, quickly stood up when he saw that it was Kisa. ¡°Mrs. Kooper!¡± He called out in respect. Kisa looked at him, sizing him up from top to bottom. Shaun was tall and massive. His skin was fair, and he wore sses, making him look like a gentle giant. However, his actions did not seem to be so. Shaun felt a little guilty after being examined by Kisa. ¡°What can I do for you, Mrs. Kooper?¡± he asked with a smile. Kisa looked around the office and walked to the window. She looked at Shaun and said, ¡°Do you like it here so far?¡± ¡°Yeah. It¡¯s easier to talk to Mr. Kooper whenever there are any problems, and the people here are nice.¡± ¡®What an act,¡¯ Kisa sneered in her mind. Everyone in GK knew about the agreement. she did not believe that Shaun did not know about it. She looked at him with a sharp gaze and uttered, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me that Gilbert said our previous stamp from J & K was valid, and as long as my signature and the stamp are there, the contract we signed is valid on behalf of GK?¡± There was no hint of panic on the man¡¯s face. ¡°Huh?! Didn¡¯t Mr. Kooper tell you?¡± he asked in surprise. Chapter 1046 Chapter 1046 Chapter 1046 Remember My Warning Kisa pursed her lips coldly and said, ¡°Stop pretending, Shaun.¡± Shaun looked at her with an innocent and puzzled face as he asked, ¡°What are you talking about, Mrs. Kooper?¡± Seeing that he was still not giving up on the act, she stopped beating around the bush. ¡°Care to exin yourself about the contract?¡± Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. ¡°What kind of exnation do you want? Didn¡¯t you read through that contract yourself? Did you forget that you signed it?¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t say that there were terms and conditions that were not favorable to GK in the contract. You tricked me into signing it, and Gilbert didn¡¯t have a meeting till 6:00 p.m. You set this whole thing up!¡± Shaun did not refute. He just chuckled, ¡°You¡¯re right. I set it all up, but now everyone will think that you¡¯re the one who made the contract, the one who signed it, and the one who deliberately wanted to harm GK Pictures.¡± Kisa¡¯s face darkened. ¡°At first, I gave you special treatment because of Jensen. I allowed you to work in the office and retain your previous position. I didn¡¯t expect you would be such an ambitious, sinister, and cunning person. From tomorrow onwards, you don¡¯t have toe to the office. I don¡¯t want someone who would frame me every chance he gets to be here.¡± Shaun suddenlyughed grimly after hearing that. ¡°I thought you would be happy that I took this opportunity to bring GK down. You¡¯re still in love with Gilbert. But what about Jensen? It¡¯s obvious that he means nothing to you.¡± ¡°Your heart is not in the right ce. You¡¯re just using Jensen as an excuse for what you¡¯ve done.¡± ¡°Hehehe¡­¡± Shaunughed weirdly. He pressed half of the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and sneered, ¡°Did you think¡­ I did this for my own benefit?¡± Kisa did not speak; she just stared at him coldly. ¡°Gilbert hurt Mr. Kooper. Since you love him that much and didn¡¯t want to avenge Mr. Kooper, I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands,¡± Shaun looked at her with a smug face and said. His tone was full of grudges. Kisa frowned deeply as doubts started to cross her mind. ¡°You¡¯re saying that you did all this to avenge Jensen?¡± ¡°Hah,¡± Shaun sneered. ¡°I see that you and Gilbert are a couple now, and you¡¯re hitting It off. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve long forgotten about Mr. Kooper, who is still lying. unconscious in bed. But, I¡¯ll never forget what you¡¯ve done. Mr. Kooper is still so young and talented. Why can¡¯t he have the chance to live his life?! He ended up like this is all because of you. Did you forget that he was the one who saved you and pulled you out of the darkness when Gilbert hurt you and put you in danger? He even established J & K Film Group for you so that you can have the chance to take revenge on Gilbert. But, look at what you¡¯ve done. Look at how you treated Mr. Kooper!¡± Shaun said with resentment. Kisa¡¯s fists tightened as she said in a deep voice, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to avenge Jensen. It¡¯s just not the right time.¡± ¡°Oh, stop making excuses. We all know that you¡¯ve fallen into Gilbert¡¯s loving arms.¡± ¡°Believe me or not, I¡¯m telling you the truth,¡± Kisa replied softly. It did not matter if Shaun believed her or not. She did not want something simr to happen twice. She looked at him with a sharp gaze and said, ¡°I know how to get back at Gilbert, and I will try my best to make up for everything Jensen has done. But, I don¡¯t want you to do something like this again. Otherwise, don¡¯t me me if I no longer take your rtionship with Jensen into consideration.¡± ¡°Hah.

If you actually want to avenge him, wouldn¡¯t it be better if you and I joined forces?!¡± Shaun said sarcastically. ¡°I have my ns¡­ Remember my warning.¡± After she finished speaking, Kisa turned around and walked out of the office. Shaun stared at her back and sneered, ¡°Mrs. Kooper, would you go somewhere with me?¡± Chapter 1047 Chapter 1047 Chapter 1047 Long Time No See Kisa looked back at Shaun and coldly asked, ¡°What kind of trick are you ying this time?¡± ¡°Hehe. I wouldn¡¯t dare to y tricks on the CEO¡¯s wife. I just want to bring you to meet someone, Mrs. Kooper.¡± Shaun led Kisa to a building that she was a little unfamiliar with. She did not remember if she had been here before. The building in front of her was very tall. Kisa covered her eyes from the sun with her hands and looked up to see the word ¡°Risen¡°. ¡®Could this be the Risen Enterprise that was mentioned in the contract?¡® Kisa thought as Shaun walked into the building. Kisa frowned suspiciously and strode up to follow him. It was as if Shaun came here often since the security guard did not stop him at the entrance. He walked to the elevator and pressed the button for the 15th floor. Kisa stared at him and uttered, ¡°Are you and Risen Enterprise¡­¡± ¡°You would understand everything after meeting her, Mrs. Kooper,¡± Shaunughed like he was hiding something. Kisa did not press further. The elevator quickly came to the 15th floor. After getting out of the elevator, Shaun took her directly to the CEO¡¯s office past the workstations. Shaun knocked on the door, and soon a familiar voice sounded from the office. ¡°Come in!¡± Kisa frowned fiercely. ¡®That sounds like Mia.¡® Sure enough, as the door opened, she saw Mia leaning on the chair, holding a pen in her hand, and talking on the phone. Kisa was slightly startled. ¡®Did Mia founded Risen Enterprise?¡® ¡°Sit, Mrs. Kooper,¡± Shaun said as he poured her a cup of coffee. She sat on the sofa with the coffee in her hand and looked around the office. It was arge office with gray ents and carpet flooring. Kisa¡¯s gaze then fell upon the coffee table in front of her. There was an ashtray with several cigarette butts in it.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Kisa withdrew her gaze as her heart was full of questions. ¡®Mia doesn¡¯t seem like someone who likes to do business. Why did she establish Risen Enterprise? Did she do this to take revenge on Gilbert and GK Pictures?¡® From her point of view, Shaun was working undercover for Mia. ¡®No wonder he left the company angrily that day but begged me to let him return to thepany two dayster. It was all a set¨Cup.¡® When Kisa was thinking about it, Mia suddenly walked over and sat opposite her. She was holding a cigarette between her slender fingers. ¡®What about the cigarette butts in the ashtray? Were they left by the person who came in to talk to her about work?¡® Kisa did not question it further. Instead, she looked at Mia and said with a forced smile, ¡°Long time no see.¡± Kisa did not owe Mia anything, but because of what happened with Jensen, she felt guilty. She knew that Jensen would not be in the condition he was at that time if it was not for her, and Mia would not have suffered because of it. Mia took a short breath and chuckled, ¡°Yeah, long time no see. You look like you¡¯re living a good life now. Yourplexion looks so much better than before.¡± There was a hint of mockery in her tone. Kisa pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. Mia still had red lips and big curly hair, with a bit of fierceness in her. She leaned back, smiled at Kisa casually, and asked, Don¡¯t you¡­ have anything you want to ask?¡± ¡°How is¡­ Jensen?¡± Kisa was silent for a long time before asking that question. ¡°I thought you forgot about him,¡± Mia sneered, but Kisa did not say anything. She knew that both Mia and Shaun were upset that she did not avenge Jensen. Chapter 1048 Chapter 1048 Chapter 1048 You¡¯re Going to be Disappointed Mia blew a puff of smoke and smirked, ¡°Don¡¯t act all fake, asking about Jensen¡¯s situation whenever you meet me. He¡¯s in the same old situation; he can¡¯t die anyway.¡± Kisa clenched her hands, feeling the atmosphere of extreme pressure in the office. She wanted to leave, but Mia chuckled at her before she could, ¡°Since you brought Shaun here, you already know why I founded Risen Enterprise.¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± Kisa replied softly without saying anything more. Mia did not beat around the bushes and straightforwardly said, ¡°I want to use Risen Enterprise to deal with Gilbert. Are you willing to help me take down GK Pictures along with the Kooper family¡¯s assets and give them to Jensen?¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. This was actually Kisa¡¯s initial thought; to take down GK Pictures and give it to Jensen. But, she did not want to cooperate with Mia, especially since Shaun tricked her. It made her really ufortable and insecure about it. Davian¡¯s hatred still echoes in her ears. Her head was in turmoil, as she could not differentiate what was true and false. Kisa feared that she had gotten things wrong and had taken revenge on the wrong person. After seeing Kisa¡¯s silence, Mia added, ¡°I heard from Shaun that Gilbert takes a fancy to you now. He gave you the power second to him in GK Pictures. If you could help me, then it would be easy to take down GK Pictures.¡± ¡°You are going to be disappointed, I¡¯m afraid,¡± Kisa responded in a t tone. ¡°Shaun duped me, made me the bad guy of GK Pictures. Do you think Gilbert would still trust me?¡± ¡°Woah, there¡¯s a lot of resentment hidden in that reply,¡± Mia chuckled with a half- smile. She then looked toward Shaun and said in a reproachful tone, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you discuss this with Mrs. Kooper beforehand?¡± Mia even changed her address term to Kisa and referred to her as Mrs. Kooper, which was ironic. ¡°I told you before, Jensen and Mrs. Kooper are really close. Besides, Jensen helped her a lot in the past. She would definitely sign the contract if you told her about it. Why did you lie to her?¡± Mia was still ming Shaun. Yet, Kisa knew that Mia was purposely saying this in front of her to mock her. Shaun lowered his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Fallon. My bad.¡± ¡°Forget it. I¡¯m sure Mrs. Kooper won¡¯t me you for anything since she has a big heart. She could even forgive her enemy who once hurt her so deeply. How could she not forgive you?¡± Kisa could not stand Mia¡¯s tone and felt that Mia had changed. Maybe it was because of Jensen that Mia waspletely upset with her now. Kisa was suffocating from the heavy atmosphere in the office. She did not want to have this lip service with Mia anymore. She said directly to Mia, ¡°I don¡¯t want to work with you. As for the reason, I won¡¯t go into details. You could say that I¡¯m heartless and ungrateful, but let¡¯s just say I¡¯m sorry for Jensen. If I could, I would take Jensen¡¯s ce in suffering this pain. I even wished that it was me that Gilbert chased into the river, not Jensen.¡± Kisa said this with slightly wet eyes, then She pursed her lips. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, but I can¡¯t help you.¡± With that, Kisa turned around and left the office. Mia stared at Kisa¡¯s back as Kisa walked out. Her eyes were shing with a hint ofplexity. At this moment, Shaun said in indignation, ¡°After all is said and done, she¡¯s just reluctant to take revenge on Gilbert Kooper. Mr. Kooper was so nice and always thought about her in the past, yet she¡­¡± At that moment, a tall figure walked out of the bathroom. Chapter 1049 Chapter 1049 Chapter 1049 She Doesn¡¯t Owe Me Anything Shaun respectfully shouted, ¡°Mr. Kooper!¡± Jensen sat on the seat Kisa just sat in and stared nkly at the tight on¨Cshut door. His pale face did not show any emotions. Mia gestured to Shaun to leave first, and Shaun quickly backed out. Mia looked at the man before her and whispered, ¡°Let¡¯s not force her since she¡¯s not willing to help us deal with Gilbert. Speaking of which, she really cares about you. She said she would rather be the one in a coma than you.¡± ¡°The only reason she wished that was so she wouldn¡¯t owe me anything,¡± Jensen replied in a dry tone with his raspy voice that had a touch of indifference. Mia pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. ¡®Jensen has been acting weird ever since he woke from hisa. I haven¡¯t seen a single smile on him since that day. He would daze at the window, and he wouldn¡¯t reply to me whenever I talked to him. He wouldugh mockingly and not say a word whenever I asked about the car ident. ¡®I think he has been hiding things in his heart. Too bad he wouldn¡¯t share them with me. He didn¡¯t bother to let me share his oppressed emotions. All I could do was follow his instructions and create this company. No matter what, I would do anything to help him get what he wants. Even by any means!¡® Mia thought. In the Kooper residence, Madalyn led the children over to the table. Suddenly, Ada asked, ¡°Great¨C grandma, is my aunting back for dinner tonight?¡± Madalyn had an attitude and a long face when Kisa was mentioned. ¡°Who knows, ever since that woman stayed here, your daddy rarely came back. By the way, I¡¯m really mad about this. Your dad used toe back and eat with us every now and then, but now, look how long your dad hasn¡¯te back for dinner?¡± Maybe Madalyn¡¯s tone was the cause of Ada puckering her lips and her eyes welled up with tears. Madalyn attentively caressed Ada¡¯s hair as she noticed her emotions, as she felt a rush of heartache. ¡°There, there. I wasn¡¯t angry at you. I apologize for my attitude to you, alright?¡± Ada shook her head and hugged Madalyn¡¯s arm, as she said, ¡°I don¡¯t want your apology. I don¡¯t me you, Great¨Cgrandma.¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha. How lovely you are, Ada. Great¨Cgrandma loves you the best,¡± said Madalyn while bringing the kids to the dining table. At this moment, Andrew abruptly said, ¡°Is there a chance that daddy took aunty out every day to make aunty happy? Maybe that¡¯s why aunty is not back for dinner.¡± ¡°Uh¨Chuh,¡± ke nodded his head in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s possible. After all, I know that Uncle Jensen was always pleasing aunty. So, we can¡¯t me aunty that Uncle Jensen hasn¡¯t been coming back for dinner. Perhaps aunty wanted to return, but Uncle didn¡¯t?¡± Madalyn got depressed, wanting to say something. Ada added, ¡°You¡¯re right. Daddy¡¯s the worst. He would always keep aunty to himself. I didn¡¯t see aunty for a few days because of him.¡± Madalyn¡¯s face darkened. ¡®How absurd! Even the so¨Ccalled aunty has a higher ce in the children¡¯s hearts than their dad.¡® Madalyn was furious, but she could not lose her temper in front of the kids. Hence, she suppressed the anger in her heart. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. At that moment, Kisa walked toward the house. Chapter 1050 Chapter 1050 Chapter 1050 Daddy Has to Stop Keeping You for Himself The children¡¯s eyes instantly lit up upon seeing Kisa. Ada ran toward her and hugged her waist. ¡°Aunty, it¡¯s been so long. I finally get to see you again.¡± Kisa was thinking about things along the way home and came back muddled. But, this hug from the little one¡¯s soft hand warmed her heart in an instant. ¡°Ie back every day.¡± ¡°You alwayse homete. By the time you¡¯re back, my brothers and I are already asleep,¡± said Ada as she pulled Kisa to the dining table. Madalyn¡¯s face had darkened. Kisa nced past Madalyn and landed her gaze on Andrew and ke. Even though the kids were not hers, she felt warm and secure looking at them. ¡°Aunty¡­¡± Andrew called Kisa and softly said, ¡°We are going to talk to daddy.¡± Kisaughed, ¡°What is it you want to talk to him about?¡± ¡°We want Daddy to stop keeping you for himself. We can¡¯t even see your shadow throughout the day,¡± Andrew said thoughtfully. Kisa could not help but burst outughing. The more sheughed, the more her eyes were wet. ¡®Gilbert¡¯s still on a business trip out of town right now. I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t keep me for himself anymore once he returns. After all, I made a mistake, a terrible mistake. He probably won¡¯t forgive me after he returns.¡® ¡°Aunty, I heard daddy say that you like stew pork ribs.¡± Ada stood up, stretched her arms out straight, and gave Kisa a piece of pork rib. ¡°My brothers and I had the servants specially made this for you. Have a taste!¡± Madalyn¡¯s face was clouded with an unpleasant look at the situation. When the servants were cooking dinner, she saw the kids eagerly rush to the kitchen, telling them to make many different dishes. SheN?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. was d as she believed the kids finally had their favorites and that they had a better appetite. ¡®I never thought the kids were preparing these dishes for this woman. Their dad didn¡¯t even get to have this kind of treatment in the house. I wonder how she butters the kids up to have them only care about her!¡® George saw Madalyn¡¯s gloomy face and whispered to Madalyn, ¡°Forget it, Mrs. Kooper Sr. Having Mrs. Kooper eating dinner with the kids might be a good thing. When have you seen the kids eat so well as they did today?¡± Madalyn snickered and lowered her voice, ¡°I just don¡¯t believe it. What¡¯s so amazing about this woman that made the kids love her more than their dad?¡± George chuckled, ¡°Even though she has nothing nice, it¡¯s no match for the children¡¯s fondness for her. Maybe it¡¯s fate. So, stop secretly being difficult and sulky. It¡¯s bad for you.¡± Madalyn grunted and had little appetite. She sat opposite Kisa and questioned, ¡°Why did youe back alone? Where¡¯s Gilbert?¡± Andrew and Ada looked at each other, as they just noticed that only Kisa hade back alone without their dad. If Madalyn did not ask about it, the kids might have forgotten about their father. Kisa was slightly taken aback. ¡®It seems that Gilbert left in a hurry since he didn¡¯t even inform Madalyn about his business trip.¡® Kisa pursed her lips and said, ¡°He went on a business trip out of town.¡± Madalyn¡¯s brow instantly furrowed, and the depression on her face was getting obvious. ¡°Why am I completely clueless about his business trip?¡± When she heard Madalyn¡¯s words, Kisa hurriedly added, ¡°Davian was the one who just told me.¡± Chapter 1051 Chapter 1051 Chapter 1051 She Ruined Everyone Around Me Madalyn¡¯s mood turned better. She sneered at Kisa, ¡°Gilbert¡¯s not at home these few days, but I am. So, don¡¯t you think of doing any bad things here!¡± Kisa remained silent. The only interest she had in this mansion was Jensen¡¯s room. Once she got into Jensen¡¯s room, it did not matter if she could not stay in the mansion anymore. She would only feel sad about not being able to see the kids as often. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. At night, Kisa yed with the kids and read them stories all night. It was not until ten at night that the three kids unwillingly went back to sleep in their room when Madalyn came to remind them. The kids followed the servants out, but Madalyn sat in her room with no sign of leaving. Kisa did not question her and poured her a ss of water. She then sat beside the window to read her magazines. Madalyn stared at her and coldly said, ¡°Stop falling over backward to please the kids. They are Gilbert¡¯s kids and have nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°Yep,¡± Kisa lightly replied. Kisa had heard more than five warnings like this. Madalyn continued, ¡°Don¡¯t you even go near the two rooms upstairs! If I ever find you near it, I will kick you out of this house.¡± Kisa let out a half¨Csmile and looked at Madalyn. ¡°I don¡¯t have the keys. What are you so scared of?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Madalyn stood up with a cold snort. ¡°You¡¯re always up to no good. Let me warn you now. Don¡¯t me me for my actions if you dare to pull any tricks here. Don¡¯t try toin to Gilbert when he¡¯s back,¡± Madalyn said and walked out with her cane. Kisa stared at her hunched back. Maybe because of her long stare, her eyes turned a little watery. She took a short breath and said toward Madalyn¡¯s back, ¡°To be honest, I truly treated you as my grandmother in the past.¡± Madalyn stiffened, but she snickered, ¡°Your mother once said something simr. She said she treated me like her mother. But in the end, she ruined everyone around me.¡± Madalyn left after she finished her comment. Kisa stared nkly at the closed door. Madalyn refused to mention anything rted to that year, so there was no exnation. All Kisa could do was investigate this matter on her own. Kisa never believed that her mother was the kind of person Madalyn imed she was. She leaned on her chair in exhaustion, and the empty room made her think of Gilbert. ¡®It¡¯s because he loves you. He thought you were more important than GK Pictures, thinking that you would never betray him.¡® Even Davian, who did not understand feelings, could see that Gilbert truly loved her. ¡®Was Gilbert¡¯s feelings for me truly real?¡® Kisa rubbed her forehead in distress. Kisa no longer believed in anyone. This state of uncertainty and confusion made her feel uneasy. She quietly watched the scenery outside the window, as she had trouble falling asleep even though she was tired. Her hands subconsciously grab the phone. She turned it on and checked, but there was not a single notification. Gilbert was gone for a day, yet there was no text message or call from him. She fiddled with her phone and hesitated for a long time before she had the guts to call the man. It was daytime in Raworth. Gilbert was talking about business with Kohen when his phone on the table lit up. Chapter 1052 Chapter 1052 Chapter 1052 Begging with Such Cockiness Gilbert nced at the phone screen and saw Kisa¡¯s name. He hesitated for a moment and turned off his phone. Kohen grabbed his coffee and gave him a half- smile. ¡°You can answer your call. We don¡¯t have to be so formal when we¡¯re discussing business. The day is still long, and I am free the whole day.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for it. It¡¯s not important,¡± Gilbert said in a faint voice and continued his exnation about the contract. However, Kohen had already seen the name on the phone¡¯s notification. He sat back and pondered with his lips curved, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you two get in a fight?¡± Gilbert knotted his brows and reminded him, ¡°We are talking about business right now.¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. ¡°Ha. With our friendship, there¡¯s no need to be so formal. asionally, it¡¯s interesting to talk about private matters.¡± Gilbert put down the pen in his hand and leaned on his chair. He looked at him calmly. ¡°You should start by talking about your matters. What about your sh marriage with that in woman you never met?¡± ¡°GILBERT KOOPER!¡± Kohen¡¯s face instantly turned gloomy. ¡®My wife is not that in, right?¡® Gilbert shrugged his shoulders with augh. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to talk about personal matters? I¡¯m sure the personal matters between you and your wife are interesting. Otherwise, why would you want to discuss these? You just want to share with me but are embarrassed to start.¡± ¡°Ha!¡± Kohen dropped his gaze andughed coldly before he asked him, ¡°Do you still want to rely on me to make up for GK Pictures¡¯s losses? Without my help, other rivalpanies are going to seize this chance to attack GK Pictures.¡± Gilbert said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s your choice to help me or not. I won¡¯t beg you.¡± Gilbert stood up, preparing to leave. Kohen shook his head in speechlessness. He had never seen someone beg with such cockiness. Kohen called out to him, ¡°Alright. Come back, Gilbert!¡± Only then Gilbert sat back down and handed the contract to him. ¡°I exined the general regtions to you just now. You can sign it if you have no problem with it.¡® Kohen took the contract and signed it without batting an eye. Gilbert snickered, Aren¡¯t you afraid that the contract has regtions that are unfavorable to you?¡± ¡± ¡°You wouldn¡¯t be that shady, would you?¡± ¡°Ha! All businessmen are shrewd.¡± ¡°Oh, really? Then, I¡¯ll consider it a lesson learned. There won¡¯t be a second coboration in the future.¡± Gilbert looked at him and suddenlyughed, ¡°Thanks for that.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for it. After all, I have profited from this too,¡± Kohen said and eximed once again. ¡°Which dumb*ss drew up that contract, and which retard signed the contract? The contract clearly wrote to hand over 100 percent of GK Pictures¡¯s profit and 30 percent of GK Pictures¡¯s shares. How blind can one be to not even see those conditions and even dare to sign them!¡± Gilbert¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Who are you calling a retard?¡± ¡°Why are you so angry? I wasn¡¯t talking about you!¡± Kohen smoked a cigarette. ¡°I just can¡¯t figure it out. How did someone as smart as you let others take advantage of such weakness? Let me tell you something. Don¡¯t grant too much power to the people under you. Or else, you¡¯ll never know when one betrays you. ¡°Besides, with your intelligence, why would you let your subordinates use your stamp? That contract was a trap for GK Pictures. Did the person intentionally sign it? With that said, did you punish that person? This is obviously a betrayal. Tell you what, you better not be soft about this. You have to ruin and throw the person to fend for themselves in a horrible ce.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1053 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1053 Chapter 1053 It¡¯s in Your Blood Gilbert¡¯s face still looked emotionless. He reviewed the contract before he stood up and said, ¡°I look forward to working with you. I¡¯ll see you soon.¡± Then, he walked away without waiting for a response. Kohen had a cigarette in his mouth as he looked at Gilbert¡¯s back confusedly. He had a feeling that Gilbert was mad, but he had no idea why. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Eylul walked in his direction. ¡°I saw Mr. Kooper just now. He looked like he was in a bad mood. I said hi to him, but he didn¡¯t hear me.¡± Kohen scoffed, ¡°You¡¯re pretty observant.¡± Eylul did not know what he was really trying to say as she sighed. ¡°I can understand why he¡¯s so unhappy. After all, he was set up by the person he shared his bed with. I heard that the contract was signed by his wife, Kisa Becker.¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Kohen was drinking coffee, and he spat everything out of his mouth after he heard what Eylul said. Eylul frowned in disgust, but she handed him some tissues anyway. Then, she wiped the table with more tissues. She was a very clean person, and she just could not bear to see anything like that. Kohen wiped off the coffee stain on the edge of his mouth as he said in disbelief, ¡± Did you say that the contract was both drafted and signed by Kisa?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± Eylul said without lifting her head. Kohen scoffed. ¡°I¡¯m pretty sure she¡¯s setting her husband up on purpose, right?¡± Eylul paused as she was puzzled. They were married, and they looked very in love with each other during the interviews. Eylul just could not figure out why Kisa would do such a thing to Gilbert. She had no idea why Kisa would set her husband up even if she did not love him. Even though there was no love in the marriage between her and Kohen, she would not have the idea of doing a thing like that to him. She would never try to set him up, no matter how badly he treated her. However, she knew that she was not in the right ce to judge Kisa because that was Kisa¡¯s personal matter. Kohen breathed out a swirl of cigarette smoke. He thought of the gloomy look on Gilbert¡¯s face when he left and instantly understood what was going on. ¡°I see!¡± He saw Eylul wiping the table and furrowed his brows disdainfully. ¡°I guess you¡¯ve forgotten that you¡¯re Kohen McCray¡¯s wife. You¡¯re married to one of the wealthiest families in Raworth. Why are you cleaning the table?!¡± Eylul pursed her lips without saying anything. She cleaned the table and threw the tissue into the trashcan. Kohen scoffed lightly after ncing at her. ¡°You can never live like a rich person!¡± Eylul looked down and ignored his sarcastic remarks. After all, it was not his first time saying things like that. ¡°By the way, not even I know who signed the contract. How could ¡°Peter told me,¡± Eylul said emotionlessly. Kohen suddenly chuckled. N you know?¡± He took a long drag of his cigarette and said coldly while looking at Eylul¡¯s natural face. ¡°How long have you known Peter? You sound like you¡¯re very close with him.¡± Eylul looked at him ridiculously. ¡°I got his number when I went to the hot springs in Kerrona Hill.¡± ¡°You must be talking with him very often, huh?!¡± The man sneered and stood up. ¡°Delete his number!¡± he said. Eylul arched her brows while looking at his back. She did not have a problem when Kohen did the same with everybody else back then. So, she could not figure out why she should delete Peter¡¯s number. Kisa spaced out as she stared at her phone screen, which went dark. Then, she chuckled. ¡®Gilbert would never want to talk to me anymore after what I¡¯ve done. ¡®I guess he¡¯ll probably chase me out after he gets back. 373 ¡®I should probably take a look at David¡¯s room first before that.¡¯ Kisa looked at the time as she suppressed her surging emotions. It was only ten. She thought that she should only go upstairs at two or three in the morning when everybody was soundly asleep. She would lose sleep whenever she had something on her mind. So, she sat by the window until two in the morning before she stood up and sneaked out of her room¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1054 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1054 Chapter 1054 David¡¯s Room It was just like before. The mansion was so silent that it felt terrifying. Kisa crept softly to the third floor. She paused when she passed by Damon¡¯s room, but she did not go inside. She looked inside from the door for a moment before going to another room. She took out the keys and unlocked the door deftly. The room was different from Damon¡¯s room. The things in there were not covered with pieces of white cloth. The room was probably cleaned regrly, as it was spotless. The nket was folded nicely on the bed, and there were even a few books ced on the coffee table. And, there was a transparent ss on the table as if someone had been staying there. Kisa stood in the room as she swept her nce across all the decorations in the room. Damon¡¯s room was decorated in warm colors, but this room was theplete opposite. The decorations in the room were elegant. There was a counter by the window. Kisa walked over and stared at it. There was a very old red wine on the countertop. There was a rack with two wine sses beside the wine bottle. And, there were some handcrafted decorations and books on the counter. She looked at the books and found out that they were just collections of essays. She could not find anything odd after going through them. However, she thought that two of the books looked a little familiar. She could vaguely remember her mother reading books like those. Kisa put the books back in ce and opened the drawer. The inside of the drawer was very tidy. There were a few other books and nothing else. She looked at the books inside to check if there were any photos or notes in them. Unfortunately, she had found nothing. Then, she tried her luck on the nightstand and the drawers of the coffee table. Still, she could not find anything rted to David. There was only some regr furniture in the room, and there was not a single distinct thing that could represent David as a person. Kisa felt a little disappointed as she stood in the room. She had no idea how to track the whereabouts of David anymore. She would not be able to find out what happened between him and her mother if she could not find him. That being said, Madalyn would only continue to misunderstand and hate her mother if she failed to discover her mother¡¯s affair with David and Damon. She thought that there would be some clues in the room, and she was looking forward to finding them. However, she waspletely wrong. She sat on the floor, devastated. She was lost and had no idea what to do next. She did not know if there was even anything that she could do. Suddenly, she felt extremely helpless. I She felt like she was very useless as she was not able to find out about anything, and she could only discover the ¡°truth¡± with the guidance of somebody else. However, she did not dare not to believe that version of the ¡°truth¡±. Kisa wanted to find out the truth with her own capabilities, but she had no clue what to do next after she started to look into what happened between her mother and David. In Raworth. Gilbert went back to the hotel and sat on the couch. He closed his eyes as he subconsciously pinched his temple. After some time, he still could not stop himself from tapping the name on his phone. Then, his phone started beeping.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Kisa was sitting on the floor. She spaced out for a while, leaning at the end of the bed. Suddenly, her phone rang, and it sounded very abrupt in the silent night. Kisa realized that she was still in the room on the third floor, and she was worried that her ringing phone would wake Madalyn up. She stood up while holding the bed as she hurriedly reached for her phone at the side. However, her fingers felt a bump in the bed. Then, she could hear a soft clicking sound in the room. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1055 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1055 Chapter 1055 Secret Compartment Kisa paused as she furrowed her brows confusedly. She knew that she had heard it right. Indeed, there was a clicking sound in the room. However, her phone was still ringing. Kisa hastily crawled over and switched off her phone without even looking at the caller¡¯s phone number. On Gilbert¡¯s side. He listened to his phone silently. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but the number you have dialed is currently busy.¡± He lifted the edge of his mouth and threw his phone to the side before shutting his eyes. He deserved it anyway. He should have never called her when he already knew that she betrayed him, and he still hated her for it! He should have seen iting! Kisa crawled down to the end of the bed and lifted the nket before looking at the bedpost. Then, she saw something like a button between that bedpost and the floor. It looked like it was pressed down. Perhaps she identally did that just now. She touched the button and started to feel suspicious. ¡®This doesn¡¯t look like it belongs here at all.¡¯ Then, she checked the other bedposts and found that only that one particr bedpost had a button. ¡®Could it be a switch connected to some kind of secretpartment?¡¯ After all, she was very certain that she heard a soft clicking sound. She looked around as she thought, trying to find out if there was anything different about the room. However, the room looked the same, and all the decorations were still in the same ce as they used to be. The counter and nightstand did not move at all, either. 2/3 Then, Kisa went to look in the washroom but found nothing strange either. She went back to the bedpost and tried to press the button again. The button popped back up, and the same clicking sound could be heard again. Kisa tensed up as she looked at the floor automatically. She could hear the clicking sounding from the floor. However, she was not certain which part of the floor it came from specifically. She dragged the coffee table and the counter to the side. Then, she walked to the door and rolled up the thick and heavy carpet. The light gray wooden floor appeared as the carpet was being rolled up. However, she saw nothing strange about the wooden floor or anything like a secretpartment under there. She brought her brows together. ¡®Did I hear that wrong?¡¯ She went back to the bedpost again and pressed the button once more. This time, she heard the clicking sound again, and a squared area on the wooden floor was opened. Then, she saw something like a secretpartment in front of her. Kisa was surprised, and her eyes were wide open. She finally realized why she could not notice anything odd about the room after pressing the button repeatedly because it was hidden under the nket. She would not hear the clicking sound and found this secretpartment if she did note to the room at midnight when the whole house was silent. She walked toward the secretpartment without dawdling. The secretpartment was very shallow, and it was just as deep as a wooden nk. However, it was very wide, and there were plenty of things in there. Kisa was so excited that her heart tightened. There was no dust inside because it had always been covered by the carpet. Kisa saw a lot of envelopes, small notebooks, and some old photos inside. She grabbed the photos. The photos were very old, but the faces on them could be seen very clearly because 373 they wereminated. Kisa could see a picture of her mother and David right away. Then, she noticed a few other photos of them together. They smiled very happily, and they looked very intimate with each other. David also wore her mother¡¯s steel bangle on his wrist in the photos.

Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1056 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1056 Chapter 1056 Envelopes Nearly all of the pictures were photos of David and Kisa¡¯s mother together. Some of them were even taken in the vige, and her mother was holding a baby in her arms. The pictures matched the things that her mother wrote in her diary. Emilia once secretly gave birth to a baby boy in the vige when she was together with David. And, they spent a great time with each other there. However, she just could not figure out why David did not marry Emilia despite the fact that he loved her, and they even had a child together. Instead, Carolyn got the chance to set Emilia up and make her marry Christopher. She found a strange photo as she was still feeling confused. It was not a photo of Emilia and David. Instead, it was a photo of David and another woman, and there was a little boy standing between them. The little boy looked as though he was two to three years old, and his features resembled Jensen very much. The woman looked like she came right out of a painting with her delicate features. She was the perfect example of what people referred to as gorgeous. In the photo, David¡¯s expression did not look well. His brows were brought together, looking indifferent and distant. David clearly looked like he did not want to be in that photo, but the woman and the little boy had big and happy smiles on their faces. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. ¡®That little boy is probably Jensen, and that woman should be his mother,¡¯ Kisa thought to herself. Judging from the photos she saw, Kisa could guess that the person David loved was her mother, Emilia. However, she had no idea why David did not marry either of them. Kisa went to look at the envelopes hurriedly after putting down the photos. All of the envelopes had been opened, and there was a letter in each of them. However, there was no information about the sender. Only the recipient¡¯s name and address were written on them. Kisa fumbled through the letters and read the letter of the earliest date. 2/3 [My son, Jensen. I hope you¡¯re well. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m still alive. However, I¡¯m choking on my rage. I only want to take back what is rightfully mine, so you and your mother can be protected. But, Madalyn Walker is stopping me from doing so. She ims that I¡¯m her biological son, yet I¡¯m nothing but an outsider to her. I¡¯ve done so much for the Kooper family, and I¡¯m being sent out of the country in return. I¡¯m discriminated and humiliated in every way possible while staying in a foreign country. Honestly, I would rather be dead. Keep this in mind, Madalyn Walker and the Kooper family are your enemies¡­] Madalyn Walker was the full name of Jensen¡¯s grandmother. The content of that letter showed how terribly David hated Madalyn and how much he missed Jensen. Kisa pursed her lips as she folded the letter and put it back into the envelope. I guess David probably sent Jensen this letter after he moved into the Kooper residence,¡¯ Kisa thought to herself. ¡®But, he hid it in this secretpartment because he was worried that others might see it.¡¯ However, Kisa did not know if the secretpartment was built by David or Jensen. Kisa looked at the dates and opened the following letter. [My son, Jensen. I¡¯ve finally managed to avoid the guards and returned here. However, I can¡¯te back and see you. I¡¯m with the Mullen family in Athadale right now. I¡¯lle get you when I have enough money and power. I realized that everything had changed after returning here, and I¡¯m very upset. ] Remember what I told you. Madalyn Walker and the Kooper family are your enemies¡­ Kisa furrowed her brows. ¡®David was with the Mullen family? How is he rted to them?¡¯ Kisa looked at the date of the letter and found out that it was sent a month after Emilia married Christopher. However, she did not know how long David stayed with the Mullen family and where he went after that. So, she went on to open the third letter¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1057 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1057 Chapter 1057 The Secret in The Letter The third letter was sent very long after the second letter. Kisa unfolded the letter. [Jensen, I have good news for you. I¡¯ve finally gained a lot of power and money from the Mullen family. Just be patient. I¡¯lle and get you after I have everything else. arranged. Be very cautious when you¡¯re with the Koopers. Madalyn is a very skeptical person. Remember not to overachieve anything in front of her. Otherwise, she¡¯d think that you¡¯re trying to take their family¡¯s wealth away from her grandson. Keep this in mind. They¡¯re all bad people. They only took you in because they did not want to be labeled as heartless by others. They¡¯re just pretending to be your family. You¡¯ll never be better than Gilbert, no matter how excellent you are. Just wait. Madalyn is going to do the same to you as she did to me. However, you don¡¯t have to be scared. I¡¯m a different man now. Just remember that I¡¯ll back you up if Madalyn really did make you leave the country. I¡¯m going to visit the Webb family in Oceanville soon. See you.] ¡®The Webb family?¡¯ Kisa got even more confused. She had no clue what David had to do with the Webb family at all. The more she read about the letters, the more mysterious David became to her. However, David did mention his whereabouts in the letter. So, she went to look for the other letters, expecting to find David from there. But, disappointingly, the rest of the letters were written by Jensen. Jensen wrote the letters to David, but he did not send them out because he did not know David¡¯s address. Jensen mentioned that Madalyn was not as wicked as his father described her to be. He also mentioned that she and Gilbert treated him really well, and he did not want to hate them. He even expressed how much he missed David. He longed for fatherly love, and he hated David. Jensen also said that his mother passed away because of how heartless David was. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Kisa felt heartbroken as she read the letters Jensen wrote. His feelings for Madalyn and Gilbert were genuine. She saw her name in the letter when she was about to fold it back. She paused before she hurriedly read the contents of the letter. [I fell in love with a girl. Her name is Kisa Becker.] Kisa froze in ce. ¡®How is this possible? ¡®Jensen loves me?! T ¡®But, he told me that I¡¯m like a sister to him, and he even wanted me and Gilbert to be together.¡¯ Kisa calmed herself down and continued reading. [However, I know she¡¯s the daughter of Emilia. I hate Emilia, but I can¡¯t bring myself to hate Kisa. Dad, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s funny? Her mother stole my father¡¯s heart, yet I¡¯m in love with her. How ironic, huh?] Kisa sat down on the floor in shock. It turned out that Jensen knew about what happened between David and Emilia all along. And, Jensen hated Emilia for that too. [However, I found out that Gilbert likes her too. As you said, grandma is still biased, after all. She could tell that I had fallen for Kisa, yet she purposely asked me if Kisa and Gilbert would make a good match. And I said yeah! Indeed, I¡¯m nothingpared to Gilbert. How can I ever be good enough topete with him for a girl we both love? However, I still don¡¯t want to hate them for this because they¡¯re the ones that made me feel loved. I¡¯ll just give up on her if Gilbert loves her. I¡¯ll give them all my blessings.] Kisa froze after reading that. She did not even realize the letter had fallen out of her hand and dropped to the floor. Judging by the date written on the letter, Kisa could guess that Jensen was probably still living with the Kooper family when he wrote that. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1058 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1058 Chapter 1058 Reward ¡®At that time, he still hadn¡¯t gone overseas. Gilbert and I were still teenagers. ¡®From what I remember, Gilbert deeply disliked me at that time. Why did Jensen say Gilbert liked me? ¡®What really happened at that time that I was unaware of? ¡®How could Jensen tell that Gilbert liked me while I couldn¡¯t feel that? ¡®If he liked me, why was Sara still there in his life? ¡®And if he had liked me since he was a teenager, why did he treat me so cruelly after I married him?¡¯ She was very confused. She could not help but clutch her head. ¡®There are too many things going on. I can¡¯t figure out what¡¯s true or false anymore.¡± She took a deep breath as she suppressed all herplicated emotions. She then picked up the three letters from David to examine them for a while. She noticed that the length of time between the second letter and thest letter was quite long. ¡®Judging from this, I think David stayed with the Mullen family for a long time back. then. ¡®And he never wrote Jensen any letter after he left the Mullen family and went to the Webb family¡¯s house at Oceanville. ¡®Which means, David¡¯s whereabouts were unknown after he went to the Webb family at Oceanville. ¡®If I want to find him, I have to go there.¡¯ Kisa put the letters back inside the secretpartment. Her heart could not help but pound when she was putting away Jensen¡¯s letter. She desperately tried to recall every detail with Gilbert during their younger years, but all she remembered was how the proud Gilbert disliked and hated her. She could not understand why Jensen wrote what he did in the letter. ¡®But Jensen is always disciplined. He wouldn¡¯t make such groundless statements.¡¯ ¡®Gilbert, how do you really feel about me?¡¯ She put everything back in the secretpartment andid the rug back down. She locked the door before walking downstairs in confusion. After she went back to her room, she still could not calm down. She bemusedly sat in the chair and thought about how well Gilbert had treated her during this period. She also remembered what Davian had told her. Her mind started to wander again. ¡®Davian said that after I ¡°died¡±, Gilbert was in grief and got drunk every day at my grave. ¡®If he was so affectionate, why did he want to send me to jail? Why did he want to push me over the edge? ¡®Unless he didn¡¯t start that fire. But what about the warden and jailer¡¯s testimonies?¡¯ She was very puzzled by all the leads, whether they were true or false. She felt that she could not tell if the so-called ¡®truth¡¯ was true anymore. But if she was to just go with how she truly felt, she would unconsciously fall in love with Gilbert. She then leaned back in her chair and sighed. She impatiently clutched her head. She frowned tightly as she looked extremely troubled and distressed. Momentster, she closed her eyes and sighed. ¡®Whatever. I¡¯ll put aside everything between Gilbert and me. What I should do now is focus on finding David. ¡®The biggest reward tonight is that I found out about David¡¯s whereabouts back then. ¡®He disappeared after he went to the Webb family¡¯s house at Oceanville. I might be able to find some other clues there.¡¯ That thought made her feel at least a little bit relieved. She suddenly remembered that her phone had rang earlier when she had been in the room upstairs. She hurriedly took out her phone to check the call history. It was a missed call from Gilbert. Her heart started beating frantically. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. She pursed her lips as she hesitated for a moment, then called him back.

Gilbert threw his phone aside. He felt more annoyed after he epted the call. At the same time, he secretly scolded himself for being weak. He had already made up his mind to ignore Kisa and not pick up her call anymore. But, he could not resist answering the call when he saw that it was from her. He impatiently clutched his head. He then got up and poured himself some wine. Just when he filled up half of the ss with wine, his phone suddenly rang again. His heart trembled. He quickly went to answer the call. But, because he acted too hastily, he identally hit the ss of wine with his hand. All the wine inside the ss spilled out and dripped onto the gray rug. Gilbert did not have the time to clean it up. He took a few big steps forward to the couch. He immediately picked up the call without looking at the caller¡¯s identification. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Hey, you answered my call pretty fast. You sound excited too. What happened? Whose call were you waiting for? Did you mistake me for someone else?¡± Kohen suddenlyughed in a yful manner.

I¡¯ll send you the location.¡± Gilbert sat on the couch after he ended the call. He smiled ironically.. He thought Kisa had called him again. Eight o¡¯clock at night. Gilbert punctually arrived at the party location that was sent by Kohen. He was never interested in parties. But, Kohen agreed to work with him and invested some of his money and influence into GK. It kind of helped him to preserve GK¡¯s scale and power. And, this prevented other rival firms from attacking his company. He was very grateful that Kohen did that for him. After all, other than Kohen, no one was willing to help him. After he got out of his car, he raised his eyes to look around. In front of him was Kohen¡¯s private vi. The party was held in the yard. The yard was gigantic, and the lights were dazzling. Kohen walked toward him not long after he got off his car.

He then stared seriously at Kohen. ¡°I remember that you have a good rtionship with Jensen. And, he became how he is now because of me. So, why were you still willing to help me?¡± He wanted to ask this question when he first arrived in Raworth. Initially, he did not expect Kohen to help him because of Jensen. The first person he discussed with was not Kohen either. However, that partner of his refused to help him. That was why he talked to Kohen. Unexpectedly, Kohen was more cooperative than he imagined. He actually agreed to help him immediately. Gilbert¡¯s impression of Kohen was not a good one due to the rumors regarding him in the world of business. Rumor had it that there was nothing Kohen would not do in the business world. He was rtively extreme, evil, and even strange. He did not pay attention to Kohen¡¯s characteristics before this. But, for the past two days, he noticed that Kohen was nothing like the rumors about him. Kohen picked up a ss of alcohol and gently smiled. ¡°I have known Jensen for a long time, and our rtionship is good. But, I think that you, as his brother, wouldn¡¯t hurt him. That must be an ident.

We¡¯re not even close.¡± ¡°Jensen once told me that he has a younger brother. And their rtionship was good. He said he missed his brother very much, and he wanted to go back.¡± Gilbert was shocked, and he could not speak. Kohen patted his shoulder as he softly said, ¡°If Jensen thought that the rtionship between the two of you was good, then your rtionship with him must be good. Battles in the business world are inevitable. But, since your rtionship with him is truly good, you won¡¯t want to hurt him. Just like how he wouldn¡¯t hurt you.¡± Gilbertughed ironically. ¡®Unexpectedly, Kohen, as an outsider, could see right through my brotherhood with Jensen.¡¯ ¡°Let¡¯s go. Don¡¯t overthink it. I¡¯ll go and visit Jensen in Calthon.¡± After Kohen said that, he then led Gilbert to the lively party. Gilbert stared unwaveringly at Kohen¡¯s back. He suddenly felt that this man was quite decent. There were mostly women at the party. And, they were all youngdies. Gilbert asked Kohen, ¡°What¡¯s the asion today? Why did you throw a party?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no asion. It¡¯s just a normal day,¡± Kohen said. He then turned back to smile at him. ¡°You¡¯re going back in a few days, right? Before you go back, I, as the host, must give you a treat. Frankly, I threw this party for you. So, stop pulling a long face. It¡¯s just a woman.¡± Gilbert instantly looked angry. Kohenforted him. ¡°I heard all about it. Kisa got you this time. Actually, there¡¯s nothing to be upset about. You can always get another woman. I specifically asked a lot of respectable, reputable, and gorgeousdies toe today. Have a look around.

After a pause, he coldly smiled as he said, ¡°If my wife did what your wife did to you, I wouldn¡¯t just get another woman; I¡¯d make her life a living hell!¡± Eylul was walking in their direction.

Be careful, you might regret your words one day!¡± Gilbertughed softly at Kohen when he saw Eylul walking in his direction. Kohen smiled gently as he shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ve never regretted anything in my life. To be honest, I don¡¯t know what it feels like to regret something. I want to experience it someday.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t get carried away. I¡¯m sure your wife will make you feel what it¡¯s like to regret one day.¡± ¡°You think too highly of her.¡± Kohen scornfully said, ¡°She just doesn¡¯t have what it takes and isn¡¯t good enough to make me regret.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Gilbert smiled faintly. He stared over Kohen at Eylul who was standing behind him. He smiled at her as he greeted, ¡°Hi Mrs. McCray!¡± Kohen¡¯s body was noticeably stiff for a moment. He squinted as he ruthlessly red at Gilbert. Gilbert lifted the corners of his lips. He then walked toward a remote corner of the party. ¡°How cunning!¡± Kohen gritted his teeth and muttered as he stared at Gilbert¡¯s back. He looked indifferent and estranged again like how he normally was when he turned back to look at Eylul. ¡°Weren¡¯t you entertaining those female socialites? Why are you here?¡± ¡°They wanted to meet Mr. Kooper. So, they asked me toe over here to see if he¡¯s arrived,¡± Eylul truthfully said. She looked expressionless. Kohen actually kind of hated her undisturbed and calm face. It seemed like nothing could stir her emotions. Even during lovemaking, she did not have many changes in her facial expression. He was inexplicably agitated. He took a sip of his alcohol as he coldly said, ¡°You came over here just because they told you so? Why did you listen to whatever they said? Don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re my wife. You¡¯re the daughter-inw of the McCray family. Don¡¯t show your natural servility in front of them in the future. You¡¯ll embarrass me and the McCray family if you do that.¡± ¡°¡­ Okay!¡± Eylul hung her head as she said ndly. Kohen was unhappy seeing her like that. He coldly said, ¡°Gilbert is here. If they want to see him so much, they shoulde over here. Did they want me to bring him over to them?¡± *All right. I¡¯ll go and tell them that.¡± Eylul walked away after saying that. Kohen was increasingly annoyed as he nced at her thin back. He pulled his tie as he frustratedly walked toward Gilbert. Gilbert was not interested in parties at all. After he arrived at the party, he merely sat in a dark corner to drink his alcohol casually and aimlessly. He would look at his phone asionally. It seemed like he was waiting for messages and phone calls from a certain someone. Kohen sat down across from him and grinned at him, ¡°If you want to call Kisa, just call her. You¡¯re such a hesitant man. You¡¯re so ridiculous!¡± Gilbert stared sullenly at him. He did not speak. He just picked up the ss of alcohol and drank it. Meanwhile, a few women who were all dressed to the nines walked toward them. All of them wore delicate make-up and were richly dressed. They were clearly the socialites from high society. ¡°Mr. Kooper, nice to meet you. You look even more handsome in person.¡± ¡°And Mr. Kooper¡¯s temperament is excellent. You looked so honorable just by sitting here.¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper, would you please humor us by drinking with us?¡± They sat down next to him as they spoke.

So, they wanted to take this opportunity to impress him and perhaps be his new wife. Gilbert frowned. He was unhappy that thedies came but he did not let his emotions show since they were Kohen¡¯s friends. Just when thedies toasted him one by one, Kohen silently took a picture of them.

She had not been in contact with him for a long time. ¡®Why did he suddenly send me a message? Is it an emergency?¡¯ With doubts, she hurriedly opened the message. Suddenly, she saw a picture.

At first nce, it felt like Gilbert had many concubines with him. Kisa stared at the picture for a long time. She then calmly leaned back in her chair. She barely showed any expression. She did not reply to Kohen even after a long time had passed. Perhaps, because of that, Koen sent her another message. [Did you see the photo?

But after Gilbert said that, Kohen simply threw his phone in front of Gilbert. He then said with a calm face, ¡°I already sent it to her.¡± ¡°You!¡± Gilbert red at him.

You should look in the mirror and see what you are!¡± Rose red at Eylul with a stern face. Eylul stood on the dirty floor, quietly staring at her. She did not speak. It seemed like Rose was not satisfied with just giving Eylul a p. She strode forward and wanted to p her again. But, before she could p her this time, her wrist was grabbed by a warm, big hand. Rose raised her eyes, and her eyes suddenly brightened. ¡°Mr. Kohen!¡± Kohen frowned as he nced at her. He then slightly used his strength to push her a few steps away. He then looked at Eylul and the messy floor. After that, he calmly asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. He was looking at Eylul when he asked that. But, before she could speak, Rose hurriedly said, ¡°She¡¯s married to you. But, she still flirted with other men. So, I got angry and went to talk to her. But who¡¯d have thought not only did she not think that she was wrong, but she even intentionally threw the cake on my shoe. Mr. Kohen, look¡­¡± She stretched her foot which was stained with cake to show Kohen as she said that. ¡°Initially, I just wanted her to wipe my shoe, and I¡¯d let this incident go. But, unexpectedly, she scolded me. She even pushed me. And when I fought back, she suddenly dramatically knocked over the pastry stand. I¡¯m not sure if she was acting or not because I went easy on her when I fought back!¡± Kohen suddenly squinted as he coldly stared at Eylul. ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything you want to say?¡± Eylul could guess who he would choose to believe just by looking at his sepulchral face. ¡®After all, the person he likes is Rose. He was forced to break up with her because of my intervention.¡¯ She looked down, and she did not raise her voice. But, every word she said sounded strong and powerful. ¡°I didn¡¯t do that. She lied. She deliberately rubbed the cake on her shoe.¡± ¡®Even if he doesn¡¯t trust me, I want to defend myself. ¡®I don¡¯t want others to think that I¡¯m easily bullied.¡¯ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1064 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1064 Chapter 1064 And¡­ I Lied Before? ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s lying!¡± Rose immediately yelled emotionally. Then, she turned to Kohen with tears in her eyes. ¡°Ever since you married this woman, I knew my ce, and I stopped bothering you. But, you invited me to this banquet. Did you ask me toe here just to get humiliated by that scheming woman? Besides, everyone here saw how your woman picked on me. They all saw it. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask them.¡± Suddenly, the women around them chimed in and agreed. ¡°That¡¯s right, Mr. Kohen. That woman was clearly at fault just now. She started getting aggressive at Rose first.¡± ¡°Besides, this woman¡¯s not fit to be your wife at all.¡± ¡°She¡¯s merely a country bumpkin. She has no right to be here.¡± Kohen immediately looked around him. The voices of the women around him promptly grew softer. They all avoided his gaze and lowered their heads. Kohen¡¯s gaze swept across them briefly before finallynding on Eylul. ¡°Do you admit it?¡±N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Eylul had a calm expression. ¡°There¡¯s surveince in the courtyard. You can check the footage if you want to know who started it.¡± ¡®Things have alreadye to this, yet she¡¯s still acting so indifferent.¡¯ Kohen abruptly felt an inexplicable sense of anger. He snorted icily, ¡°There¡¯s no need to check the surveince. Rose had never lied.¡± Eylul felt a twinge in her heart. She looked at the man in front of her calmly and said, ¡°And¡­ I lied before?¡± ¡°You did. Didn¡¯t you get this marriage through deception?¡± Kohen scoffed sarcastically. He wanted to see a trace of emotion on the woman¡¯s face. To his disappointment, her face remained calm and different without any other emotions. Kohen immediately felt a sense of vengeance. ¡°Apologize to Rose!¡± Eylul felt a twinge in her once more. It was an unfamiliar feeling that made her panic. She clenched her fists and stood straight. However, her bare face remained emotionless. Rose smiled smugly to herself. She purposefully said to Kohen, ¡°It¡¯s fine, Kohen. We don¡¯t have to force her if she¡¯s not willing to admit her mistake. But, you need to be careful with her in the future. I can tell that she¡¯s the type of woman who¡¯ll frequently take up secret lovers.¡± ¡°Apologize!¡± Kohen continued staring at Eylul. His tone grew even icier than before. Eylul clenched her fists so tightly that her palms were about to bleed. Finally, she walked up to Rose and indifferently said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Seeing the woman apologize, Kohen felt ufortable. What he wanted to see was for the woman to put up a fight and her other kinds of emotions. However, she did neither and remained indifferent. It was as if she remained as still as a statue even if he took things too far with her. ¡°Kohen¡­¡± ¡°Scram!¡± Rose thought Kohen did not like the country bumpkin, so she wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Kohen. She did not expect Kohen to fling her to the ground promptly. The woman was stunned, ¡°Kohen¡­¡± ¡°Today¡¯s banquet ends here. See the guests off!¡± Kohen said icily to the butler. Then, he dragged Eylul into the house, leaving the guests in the courtyard staring at one another in confusion. Gilbert watched as Kohen dragged Eylul away forcefully. A momentter, he shook his head in resignation. He suddenly remembered that he had also treated Kisa that way in the beginning. ¡®Now that I think about it, I was horrible toward her back then. No wonder that woman never believes that I¡¯m being genuine,¡¯ Gilbert thought. Gilbert took out his phone. Then, he thought of giving the woman a call using his Dutch courage. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1065 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1065 Chapter 1065 Divorcing Only After Pregnancy Gilbert¡¯s slender fingers inadvertently tapped on the photo gallery icon. The first photo that popped up was a photo of that woman. It was a photo he secretly took. There was a candid and pure smile on her face. Gilbert did not know what she had encountered to beam that brightly. He stared fondly at the photo. He continued staring and was suddenly reminded of the contract. Then, his gentle gaze abruptly turned terrifyingly dark. He locked his phone and leaned against the chair in annoyance. Gilbert wanted to go home and see the woman. He wanted to see her right this instant. However, he felt reluctant about the woman dominating his emotions and thoughts. He gripped his forehead in pain, as he could not verbalize the frustration he felt within him. Sometimeter, Kohen¡¯s butler walked up to Gilbert. ¡°Mr. Kooper, our second young master said you had some drinks, so you should rest here tonight. He needs to discuss the particrs of some work- rted things with you tomorrow.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Gilbert nodded and sat up straight. He realized almost all the guests in the courtyard had left. He asked the butler, ¡°Is your second young mastering back downstairs?¡± ¡°Probably not. The second young master and mistress have retired for the night.¡± ¨C The corner of Gilbert¡¯s lips twitched, ¡°This early? Couldn¡¯t he hold back a little longer?¡± The butler understood what Gilbert meant. He smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°The second young master is eager for a child, so the two have been retiring rather early these days.¡± Gilbert smirked yfully. ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell he liked children.¡± ¡°No. Our second young master wants to divorce the second young mistress. However, they can only divorce if she bears the McCray family¡¯s child. However, it¡¯s been a while, and there¡¯s still no signs of pregnancy¡­¡± After the butler finished, he immediately realized he had revealed too much. He quickly covered his mouth, ¡°Mr. Kooper, I¡¯m getting on in years and chattering mindlessly. Please don¡¯t take what I said earlier to heart and keep it to yourself.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry; I won¡¯t be loose-lipped.¡± ¡°Alright. Come along, Mr. Kooper. I¡¯ll lead you to the guest room.¡± Gilbert stood up and subconsciously nced at the second floor. ¡®Kohen wants to divorce Eylul? But, judging from his attitude toward Eylul, why do I have a feeling that he¡¯ll regret it someday?¡¯ he wondered. In the bedroom, the temperature was rising because of a vengeful raid. Kohen was drenched in sweat when he got off the bed. However, he did not spare the woman on the bed a nce and entered the bathroom. Eylul pulled the covers up and covered herself. After regaining herposure, she finally sat up. Then, she grabbed her pajamas beside her and put them on. ¡®Most times, I feel reluctant while doing this kind of thing. Every time we do it, I pray for it to end quickly. The truth is, I¡¯m also trying hard to give him a child so that we can end this marriage. However, there are still no signs of a baby in my stomach, even though it has been a while. Now that I think about it, we¡¯re doing it pretty frequently. Moreover, we¡¯ve never used protection,¡¯ thought Eylul. While Eylul was lost in thought, Kohen walked out of the bathroom. He had a good physique. It was the sexy type that would put a blush on one¡¯s face and make one¡¯s heart race. However, Eylul could not address any of his merits under the restraints of their marriage. Kohen gazed at her indifferent expression and felt annoyed. He sat down beside the window while smoking a cigarette. ¡°Go sleep in a different room tonight. Don¡¯t let me see you.¡± Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Alright.¡± The woman got up and walked out without hesitation. ¡°Come back!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1066 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1066 Chapter 1066 Indulging in His Wife and Children¡¯s Photos Kohen suddenly growled lowly. Eylul stopped in due time and turned to him. ¡°Is there anything else?¡± ¡®Her distant tone didn¡¯t sound like how a woman would speak to her husband. Unless she has never treated me as her husband,¡¯ thought Kohen. At this sudden thought, Kohen quickly shook his head. ¡®How ridiculous. Why am I having such thoughts? Once there¡¯s a child, this marriage will naturally end. Isn¡¯t it a little excessive to fuss over such things?¡¯ he thought again. He slowly lowered his dark gaze onto her t stomach. ¡°Go get a checkup at the hospital tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± She asked again as if she were a servant, ¡°Is there anything else?¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Eylul nodded. Her attitude was considered well-behaved. However, this irritated Kohen. The more he looked at her, the angrier he felt. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Just as the woman was about to walk out, he suddenly grunted, ¡°I¡¯ll go to the hospital with you tomorrow!¡± Eylul was startled. A momentter, she nodded, ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you f*cking say ¡®no¡¯?¡± The man¡¯s mood waspletely ruined. Then, he kicked the low table. Eylul could not understand why he was throwing a tantrum. She silently walked out of the room and thoughtfully shut the door for him. In a fit of rage, Kohen kicked the low table once more. A momentter, he took out his phone and opened his conversation with Gilbert. [Kohen: Go downstairs for some drinks!] [Gilbert: No. I¡¯m going to sleep!] [Kohen: You sleep this early?] [Gilbert: Why not? Don¡¯t you sleep earlier than me?] [Kohen: Let me ask you again. Are you drinking or not?!] [Gilbert: No.] [Kohen: F*ck!] Kohen was even more annoyed now. He stood up and poured himself a ss of alcohol. Then, he sat by the window and drank by himself. Meanwhile, Gilberty on the bed quietly looking through photos on his phone. Most of his earlier photos were of Andrew and Ada, He had many photos of them in different stages: from when they were infants who could not walk up until they were this big. He scrolled further, and all of his recent photos were of Kisa. ¡®Most of them were taken secretly when she wasn¡¯t paying attention. This is because she¡¯d reject me every time I wanted to take a photo with her. She seems to hate being in photos,¡¯ he thought. Gilbert was happily scrolling through photos of his wife and children and was in a slightly better mood. However, a message from Kohen popped on his screen again. [Kohen: Come f*cking drink with me!] Gilbert was speechless. [Kohen: Are youing or not?] Gilbert locked his phone and got under the covers. He pretended as if he was asleep and did not see Kohen¡¯s text message. ¡®No wonder he wanted me to sleep here tonight. Turns out it¡¯s because he had nobody to drink with him,¡¯ Gilbert thought. Gilbert¡¯s phone sounded a few more times. It was the notification sound of an iing message. He reached for his phone and set it to silent mode. Gilbert was worried that Kohen woulde to look for him in his room, so he got up and locked the door. As expected, he heard the sound of the door knob twisting as soon as he got into bed. Kohen roared outside Gilbert¡¯s door. ¡°Gilbert, how f*cking dare you!¡± Gilbert switched off the lights and went to sleep with peace of mind. Even though he was also in a bad mood, he did not want to drink with him. ¡®After all, this is Kohen¡¯s own house. He has his wife to help him if he gets drunk and crazy. But, I can¡¯t. I¡¯m alone outside. I need to be extra cautious, so I won¡¯t make mistakes that can¡¯t be undone,¡¯ Gilbert thought. ¡­ Kisa was wide awake until daybreak. She arrived at the set with a paleplexion and dark eye circles. Fortunately, they were not obvious after doing her make-up. It just seemed as if she was a little lethargic. Since the drama was nearing its end, the viinous supporting characters had more screen time instead. Just as Kisa got changed, she heard sounds of quarreling beside her. Chapter 1067 Chapter 1067 Chapter 1067 Ah! Blood! She¡¯s Bleeding! ¡°What is wrong with you? Don¡¯t you watch where you¡¯re going?¡± It was a sharp, arrogant shriek from Sharon. ¡®But, why do I also seem to hear Lea apologizing?¡¯ Kisa wondered. Kisa frowned and turned over. She saw Lea getting up from the floor as Sharon berated her. Meanwhile, Sharon seemed to be getting more and more worked up. Kisa got up and walked over. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Kisa helped Lea up and turned to Sharon icily. Sharon sneered and bluntly said, ¡°Yourckey didn¡¯t watch where she was going and bumped into me, so I pped her.¡± Ever since Carolyn and Adrien¡¯s rtionship got publicized, Sharon had been acting cocky on set. It was not an exaggeration to say that she had been running amok. Arie whispered beside her, ¡°She was on her phone and bumped into Lea. She¡¯s a thief crying thief.¡± Kisa¡¯s gaze darkened upon hearing Arie¡¯s words. Just as she was about to settle the score with Sharon, Lea abruptly tugged her forcefully. Kisa turned to Lea out of reflex and noticed her pale face. She had a deep frown as if she was holding immense pain. Kisa asked her in a panic, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?¡± Sharon rolled her eyes. ¡°Wasn¡¯t it just a fall to the ground? Nowadays, even mere assistants know how to put on a show. Hah! Are you trying to put the me on me? Not a chance!¡± Then, Sharon walked away arrogantly. Kisa wanted to stop her, but Lea forcefully tugged her arm again. Lea said to her weakly, ¡°Kisa, I¡­ I¡¯m fine¡­¡± ¡°Ah! Blood! Kisa, Lea¡¯s bleeding!¡± Suddenly, Arie eximed. Kisa¡¯s heart sank. She quickly looked at Lea¡¯s lower body. Lea wore a skirt today. Two streaks of blood were trickling down her calves. ¡°How¡­¡± Kisa turned to Lea in shock. Suddenly, a suspicion shed across her mind. A hint of panic shed across Lea¡¯s face. She turned to Kisa and hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just¡­ I¡¯m on my period. I feel¡­ A little bloated. I¡¯d like to take half the day off to rest.¡± ¡°Lea, I¡¯m taking you to the hospital.¡± All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Kisa did not make any more guesses and quickly said to Lea. However, Lea seemed afraid of something. She hurriedly shoved Kisa¡¯s hands away.¡± No. There¡¯s no need to go to the hospital. I¡­ I¡¯m really fine¡­¡± Lea said and left the set hastily. However, she fainted before she made it out of the set. ¡°Lea!¡± Kisa shrieked and hurried over. Meanwhile, Sharon was dumbfounded. ¡®Is she made of ss? Could she not take a single fall?¡¯ she wondered. After sending Lea to the hospital, Kisa paced around anxiously. She thought of the blood streaks on Lea¡¯s legs and felt panicked. I¡¯m almost certain Lea¡¯s pregnant. After all, I used to be a mother. I understand the pain of losing a child more than anyone else. Even though I don¡¯t know who the father is, I still hope the child lives. Otherwise, Lea would be devastated. She¡¯s someone who loves children,¡¯ thought Kisa. After some time, the door of the emergency room finally opened. Lea was wheeled out. She was still unconscious and had a terrifyingly paleplexion. Kisa nced at Lea¡¯s stomach out of reflex. Then, she turned to the doctor in a panic. ¡°How¡¯s my friend?¡± ¡°She received timely treatment, so she¡¯s fine. She¡¯s just a little weak.¡± ¡°Then¡­ How about the baby in her?¡± Chapter 1068 Chapter 1068 Chapter 1068 Barrier ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the baby is safe. The baby would¡¯ve been gone if she had arrived anyter.¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Kisa breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the doctor¡¯s words. The doctor reminded Kisa, ¡°She¡¯s only one month pregnant. The baby still isn¡¯t stable yet, so she¡¯s at a high risk of miscarriage. She needs to take care and not overstrain herself. Bed rest is rmended.¡± ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll let her know.¡± Lea changed to a general ward. Kisa watched her and felt a mix of emotions. ¡®If it was before, she¡¯d tell me everything, be it big or small. But these days, there¡¯s a barrier between us. Pregnancy is a big deal, yet she didn¡¯t tell me a single thing. She still persisted in hiding things from me when she was bleeding and the baby was in danger. I don¡¯t understand. Why doesn¡¯t Lea want me to know about the baby? Are the father and I enemies?¡¯ Kisa wondered. However, the mere thought of it made Kisa¡¯s heart clench. ¡®That must it be it. The baby¡¯s father and I might be enemies. Otherwise, I really can¡¯t exin Lea¡¯s strange actions,¡¯ thought Kisa. Lea only regained consciousness in the afternoon. Kisa coincidentally returned with the light meal she had bought her. She ced the food by Lea¡¯s bed and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re awake!¡± ¡°Where am I, Kisa?¡± Lea sat up groggily. When she realized that they were at a hospital, a hint of panic shed across her face. She turned to Kisa hurriedly and asked, ¡°You¡­ You found out?¡± Then, she quickly held her stomach and asked with a terrified expression, ¡°My baby? How¡¯s my baby?¡± Kisa could tell that Lea cared a lot about the baby. She patted Lea on the shoulder and lowly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The baby is safe.¡± Then, Lea sighed heavily in relief. However, tears welled up in her eyes. Kisa did not speak and handed her nd oatmeal. ¡°Have some.¡± Lea took the oatmeal. In the end, her tears still trickled down. She said to Kisa in a choked voice, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to ask how I got the baby? Aren¡¯t you going to ask who the father is?¡± Kisa sat down by the bed. She looked at Lea earnestly. ¡°Would you tell me if I asked?¡± Lea pursed her lips, and more tears flowed down. Kisa sighed softly. ¡®I didn¡¯t want things to end up this way,¡¯ she thought. Kisa said lowly, ¡°You should eat something. The baby needs nutrients even if you don¡¯t feel like it.¡± After hearing Kisa¡¯s words, Lea picked up the spoon and slowly scooped the oatmeal into her mouth. She said to Kisa through tears, ¡°I failed you; I can¡¯t tell you anything¡­ I failed you. I really did¡­¡± Kisa averted her gaze ufortably. ¡°Stop it. Didn¡¯t you take care of me when Gilbert almost forced me to the brink of death? Back then, I would¡¯ve died if it wasn¡¯t for your attentive care. That¡¯s why you didn¡¯t fail me.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not true!¡± Lea shook her head furiously. ¡°I really did something that failed you. Wah¡­ Kisa, I don¡¯t ask that you forgive me. I just hope that we can continue to be friends¡­ Ah¡­¡± Lea got too emotional. Her stomach started hurting mid-sentence, so she hurriedly held it. Kisa quickly grabbed the bowl in Lea¡¯s hands and helped her lie down. ¡°Stop talking and get well first. Once you¡¯re all better, we can talk about it.¡± Lea looked at Kisa with tears flowing down her face. However, she could not say a word. Kisa pulled up Lea¡¯s covers. ¡°Get some rest. I¡¯ll visit youter. The doctor said the baby is still unstable, so you should get bed rest to prevent miscarriage. Since the drama is almost over, I¡¯ll let you go on your vacation early. Take care of your baby at home.¡± Chapter 1069 Chapter 1069 Chapter 1069 I Really Didn¡¯t Get Pregnant Lea nodded with tears in her eyes, ¡°Kisa, you¡¯ve always been my best friend. No one can rece that.¡± Kisa smiled at her, ¡°You too.¡± Coming out of the hospital, Kisa¡¯s mood wasplicated. Even now, Lea would not tell her who the child¡¯s father was. This verified her hypothesis even more. The father of the child was one of her adversaries. But with a bit of pondering, there were only a few possible candidates. It could only be Sharon, Anthony¡­ Reminded about Anthony, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. It couldn¡¯t be Anthony, could it? Although this hypothesis was slightly terrifying, she could not guess any other candidate. Unless there was an adversary who wanted to harm her that was hidden covertly that she did not know of. But the possibility of that was rtively tiny. Just as she was lost in thought, beams of light suddenly shined onto her. It was so blinding that she could not open her eyes. She immediately covered her eyes with her hand. After a brief moment, she got used to the shing lights and was surrounded by reporters. She immediately remembered when she sent Lea to the hospital, due to the urgency of the situation, she did not even take off her costume and wipe off her make-up. When she entered the hospital, many people saw her, which attracted many reporters to wait for her here. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, may I ask you for what reason you areing to this hospital? Why is Mr. Kooper not by your side?¡± Since Gilbert had announced their rtionship was still husband and wife, the way reporters address her has changed. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, may I ask due to what reason you came to the hospital? We¡¯ve heard that the actual person injured seems not to be you. May I ask¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s me. I was not feeling well, so under the apaniment of my assistant, I came to check for it,¡± Kisa anxiously answered. Kisa could not let the media know about Lea being pregnant while unmarried. Although Lea was not a celebrity and merely an assistant, due to her fame, Lea¡¯s private life inevitably would be made into headlines by the media. If the incident went viral, it would definitely affect her prenatal care. ¡°May I ask what sickness you have, Mrs. Kooper? Since you were unwell, why is Mr. Kooper not by your side apanying you?¡± Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. ¡°He is busy with work and is overseas, ¡°The reporters avoided questioning her about the incident and the contract she made to sabotage GK Pictures. It seems that Gilbert had ordered Davian and the employees to keep the incident a secret. She still did not know if Gilbert was trying to protect his reputation or watching her. Kisa did not think much of it and only let the reporters move to the side. She still had the make-up on from the two scenes at the production site. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, you came suddenly to the hospital today. Could it be that you were bearing Mr. Kooper¡¯s child?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Mrs. Kooper. You don¡¯t have any injuries on your body. May I ask if you truly did bear Mr. Kooper¡¯s child?¡± Kisa hung her head and walked toward the car. A few reporters suddenly asked her such questions, making her quite stunned during the inquiry. Who established that not having bodily injuries would meaning to the hospital due to pregnancy? Then the people on the whole hospital floor were pregnant, including the men! Kisa spoke to the reporters speechlessly, ¡°No, everyone, please stop making up rumors.¡± If the media really recklessly published this, it would be another nuisance. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, are you temporarily not publicly disclosing it? Or wait for Mr. Kooper toe back and then announce this happy event?¡± ¡°Mrs. Kooper, you don¡¯t have to attempt to deny it. Some people said they saw you go to the window for prenatal care medicine.¡± ¡°Mrs. Kooper, may I ask how many months old the child is in your womb?¡± Those reporters kept asking on and on and even attempted to check out her stomach. Kisa was creeped out from the surveying. She said with resignation, ¡°I really am not pregnant. Everyone, please stop reporting indiscriminately!¡± Chapter 1070 Chapter 1070 Chapter 1070 Sisterly Bond ¡°If Mrs. Kooper is not pregnant, why did you go to the window to get prenatal drugs?¡± All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, are you waiting for Mr. Kooper toe back, then announcing this joyous event together?¡± ¡°Mrs. Kooper, Mr. Kooper already has a son and a daughter. May I ask that after you have given birth to the child, will you treat the other two children fairly?¡± The reporters¡¯ questions were going further and further. Kisa was totally speechless. She could not be bothered to say anything else, since the reporters would not listen to what she had just said anyway. The reporters did not stop taking pictures of her and even furiously snapped pictures of her abdomen. Kisa immediately bent down to slip into the car. She then carefully moved her car. After being stuck in a stalemate for a long time, the reporters slowly dispersed. Arriving at the production set, Arie asked her worriedly, ¡°Is Lea okay?¡± Kisa shook her head, ¡°Nothing wrong. It¡¯s just that her body is slightly weak. I will give her some time for a holiday after this to let her heal her body, since the drama is about to finish shooting.¡± Arie nodded her head, ¡°That¡¯s good. It was horrifying just now. She was perfectly fine, then she started bleeding.¡± ¡°Her body was originally frail. Once her menstruation came, she was even weaker,¡± Kisa said casually. Sharon suddenly chuckled, ¡°Fortunately, it was just menstruation. To the uninformed person, they would¡¯ve assumed she was sleeping around and got pregnant!¡± Kisa¡¯s gaze sharpened, and she said coldly, ¡°You should be thankful she came to no harm, or else I wouldn¡¯t have spared you!¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Sharon sneered sarcastically, ¡°It¡¯s merely a toxic sisterhood, and you still treat it as treasure. I¡¯m your actual biological sister, and I don¡¯t see you covering for me this way.¡± Sharon finished speaking and then walked off arrogantly with the apaniment of a few assistants. Kisa retracted her gaze, and her expression was calm. When they were young, she had protected Sharon quite a lot. Even when Sharon had done something wrong, in the end, Kisa was always the one to bear all the punishment. If Sharon had treated her with sincerity and did not harm her so cruelly, right now Sharon would still be her most beloved sister. Unfortunately, Sharon had never treated her sincerely and never thought of her as an older sister. Hence, Kisa did not care for such a ¡°sisterly bond¡±. Due to only making up for the two scenes, Kisa had already gotten into film shooting mode. The ones going to do the scene with her were the male lead and Arie. Hence, the two scenes were quickly done shooting. When she walked out of the shooting set, it was already evening. Kisa went to the hospital to check on Lea again and, in the meantime, apanied her for a while. This time, she wore a cap and mask with only her eyes showing. After arriving at the hospital, she went to the shops nearby to buy a slightly lighter meal first before moving toward the hospital. The weather was starting to enter the autumn season. The sky darkens quickly. The sky was still bright when Kisa came out of the production set. At this moment, it had already turned pitch ck. It was dinner time, and numerous people were carrying takeaway containers and walking toward the hospital. Lea stayed on the sixth floor. Kisa went and got a single room for Lea. Kisa swiftly went upstairs. However, when she reached the sick room, her whole body froze. There was no trace of Lea in the ward. Only the nkets folded neatly on the bed could be seen. The counter next to the bed was also tidied cleanly as if no one had been there. At precisely that moment, a nurse passed by. Kisa rushed over to ask her, ¡°Hi there. May I ask where the patient is in the sick ward?¡± ¡°Oh, she discharged. I remember it was about four in the afternoon that she left.¡± Kisa harshly furrowed her brows. Lea cared so much about the child. She obviously knew her womb was injured. Why was Lea so anxious to get discharged? Was she afraid of something? Walking out of the hospital, she took out her phone to give Lea a call. Chapter 1071 Chapter 1071 Chapter 1071 Living Happily But Not Appreciating It However, even after two continuous phone calls, Lea did not pick up. ¡®Don¡¯t tell me she¡¯s met with another ident? Besides, if the father of the child in Lea¡¯s womb is indeed my nemesis, then that man could quite possibly get close to Lea on purpose to use her against me.¡¯ Thinking of this, she felt somewhat anxious. She still needed to go to Lea¡¯s house to check so she could rest easily. At Raworth, as Gilbert went downstairs, he saw Kohen sitting in the living room reading a magazine. He felt that he himself had woken up quite early. Unexpectedly, Kohen had woke up even earlier. He wondered whether Kohen had even slept at all throughout the night. ¡°Morning!¡± Seeing Gilberte down, Kohen chuckled at him. Hisughter was slightly chilly, as if still resentful of Gilbert for not apanying him to drink. ¡°I¡¯m not as early as you are!¡± Gilbert walked over and sat across from Kohen. The servants quickly served up his breakfast. Gilbert nced at the man sitting across from him. Kohen¡¯s brows were still muddled with irritability. The dark circles under his eyes were more prominent. It seemed that he genuinely had not sleptst night. Gilbert could not figure it out. With his wife in his arms, what was Kohen worried about? He was truly living happily but not appreciating it. Gilbert did not even look at him. He was alone in a foreign country. When Gilbert missed his wife, he could only search for his wife¡¯s photos. ¡®I did not even lose sleep from being upset. Instead, this man has insomnia. Could it be because of the issue of the divorce and the kids?¡¯ Gilbert thought. As he was thinking about it, Eylul hade downstairs. Eylul¡¯s spirit andplexion were unexpectedly doing well. It looked like she definitely slept wellst night. Kohen saw her look of high spirits and instantly got furious. ¡®Don¡¯t tell me that as long as I¡¯m not staying in the same room, Eylul can sleep well?¡¯ The rage in his heart red up for no reason. Kohen face became somber. Gilbert gave him a nce, and the corner of his lips twitched up yfully. Once Eylul came downstairs, she saw Kohen¡¯s fallen expression. Eylul tactfully did not move over. Instead, she sat at the other side of the dining table. Kohen¡¯s mansion was huge, and the dining table was also huge. She sat at the other side of the dining table and directly put three meters of distance between her and Kohen. The servants quickly served breakfast and even brought her a sticky ck thing that looked like medicine. Gilbert looked over and said purposely, ¡°It seems Mr. McCray treats his wife very well. He ordered the servant to cook her medicine early in the morning.¡± Eylul was stunned and looked at the bowl of soupy ck medicine. ¡®Is it a soup for nourishment? Heh, I do not deserve this!¡¯ She thought to herself. Kohen put down the magazine and chuckled at Gilbert, ¡°Do you want to drink it? Should I get the servants to make you a bowl?¡± This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Heh, that is Mr. McCray¡¯s gesture toward Mrs. McCray. How could I have the audacity to snatch it from her?¡± Eylul said at the moment, ¡°Mr. Kooper, you misunderstood. This is not a medicine for nourishment. This is a drug to fix infertility.¡± As if seeing Eylul speaking too much, Kohen looked at her coldly, saying, ¡°Stop talking nonsense. Drink it quickly.¡± Eylul did not hesitate and immediately picked up and drank the bowl of medicine all well-behaved. However, after Eylul obediently drank up the medicine bowl, Kohen¡¯s expression turned even uglier. Gilbert silently watched while, deep down, his mind was clear. Kohen was just concerned for Eylul. It was just that he had found out, or maybe he did not want to admit it. Looking at Kohen¡¯s he saw more or less his old self. His past self would also be irritable for no reason and vtile. However, he had not known that it was all because a single woman had been triggering all his emotions. Remembering that Kohen had helped him this time, Gilbert could not help but want to advise Kohen in case he regretted it in the future. His eyes glinted, and he looked at Eylul. Chapter 1072 Chapter 1072 Chapter 1072 Secret Form ¡°Does this medicine really work?¡± Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Eylul smiled lightly and shook her head, ¡°Currently, I haven¡¯t seen it have any effect yet.¡± ¡°I actually have a secret form that is very effective. Regardless of whether it¡¯s you or Mr. McCray having this issue, it¡¯ll definitely show its effects after consuming it for a month.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Eylul¡¯s eyes brightened. A happiness that could not be hidden shone on her face. Kohen¡¯s face turned just as dark as Hades, and he thought to himself, ¡®After getting married for so long, when have I seen this woman so happy before? She, too, wanted to quickly bear a child for the McCray family and then divorce me, right? Yet even so, why did she initially fight tooth and nail to marry into the Kohen family? Could it be that she wanted to give birth to a child of the McCray family, then, based on the child, fight to im the assets of the McCray family?''¡± Gilbert chatted up with Eylul very delightfully. Both of thempletely did not notice how Kohen¡¯s face started to darken more and more. Bang! Suddenly, the sound of Kohen smacking the table was heard. Eylul was terrified, and her whole body shook. However, very swiftly, her face returned to its calm state. Gilbert instead slowly leaned back a bit and smiled lightly at the man across from him, ¡°What is the point of getting so mad? Why? You don¡¯t want your wife to bear your child?¡± Eylul subconsciously looked at Kohen. Kohen huffed coldly, ¡°Who knows if your secret form has any issues with it. What if it¡¯s bad for our health?¡± ¡°Then just let Mrs. McCray try it first to see if it has any negative effects on her body. If there isn¡¯t, then you can drink it instead. If there is, the one with the damaged body is not you, Mr. Kohen. Isn¡¯t this a good idea?¡± Eylul pursed her lips and said softly, ¡°I think this n makes sense.¡± ¡°Makes sense? What the hell do you mean it makes sense?!¡± Kohen immediately got angry and roared out. He did not know where this anger wasing from. Gilbert lifted an eyebrow, ¡°Why not? Or could you be worried for your wife? But that¡¯s not right. Did I not hear your butler say you wanted to divorce your wife?¡± ¡°You shut up!¡± Kohen stared daggers at him coldly. Eylul pursed her lips and hung her head. She felt that Gilbert must have misunderstood something. Kohen was disgusted with her to death. How could he be worried about her? She gripped her palms and said to Kohen in a small voice, ¡°Why not we do as Mr. Kooper says and try the secret form? I¡¯ll try it first. If it works, then naturally, it would be best. If¡­¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Kohen suddenly got up and pulled at his ties. He said while huffing in anger, ¡°Since you want to bear a child for the McCray family so badly, then fine. I¡¯ll send you to a hospital for a checkup right now!¡± Eylul was stunned for a moment, ¡°Wasn¡¯t it you who wanted to have a child badly, then end this marriage?¡± Gilbert silently looked at both of them. After a while, he said to Eylul, ¡°He seems to not want to end this marriage in the slightest.¡± Eylul¡¯s whole body shook, and she looked at Kohen bewildered. Unable to stand her inquisitive gaze, Kohen said coldly, ¡°That¡¯s enough. You shouldn¡¯t listen to him babble on. Let¡¯s go to the hospital now.¡± He finished speaking and walked toward the main entrance. Eylul pursed her lips and said to Gilbert, ¡°Mr. Kooper, take your time to eat. We have to go to the hospital first.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Gilbert nodded his head. Instead, he typed in a line of text on his phone and then sent it to Kohen. Kohen, who had walked to the yard, took a nce at his phone. His face scrunched in disdain. ¡®Heh! How could I possibly be so concerned about this kind of unfashionable, tasteless, and scheming woman such as her? Gilbert must be going blind!¡¯ His mood was agitated for no reason. He put away his phone and walked toward the car.. Suddenly, a piece of newspaper flew to his feet. He frustratingly kicked the newspaper. Heined out loud to himself about how the paperboy delivered the newspapers. From the corner of his eye, he saw the article¡¯s pictures and headline. Chapter 1073 Chapter 1073 Chapter 1073 My Heart Has Turned Too Soft He kneeled down and picked up the paper to scan through it swiftly. After a moment, the corner of his lips twitched into a yful smile. Once Eylul came out, she saw him standing in the yard holding a newspaper while smiling weirdly. She did not walk over and instead walked to the side of the car. She also did not urge Kohen and merely waited by the car silently. However, after waiting for a moment, Kohen suddenly walked toward the inside of the house. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. She could not help but furrow her brow. Her mouth opened a few times, and she tried to shout for him but still could not bring herself to call for him. Even after being married for so long, she seemed to have never called him by his name once. Kohen had already walked into the house in significant strides. Eylul could only follow him inside as well. Gilbert had just finished eating his breakfast and was about to take out the contract he had discussed yesterday to review it so that he could find any improvements that needed to be done. Then, he saw Kohen walk back in again with giant strides. He leaned back and smiled at Kohen, ¡°What¡¯s up? Thought it through and decided to not go the hospital?¡± ¡°Not going anymore,¡± Kohen also smiled. His smile was dubious. Gilbert could not help but scrunch his eyebrows. ¡®Could this man have a scheme in mind?¡¯ Eylul followed Kohen from behind. Hearing Kohen says that they were not going to the hospital, she unexpectedly gave a sigh of relief. Both of them sat back down at the dining table. Kohen smiled and spoke to Gilbert, ¡°Actually, I was quite confused. Kisa harmed you in such a way and betrayed you. You do not n to punish her harshly?¡± Gilbert squeezes his brows unhappily. ¡®Everything was perfectly fine; why is he bringing up this thing again?¡¯ Pleased to the man¡¯s expression darken, Kohen sneered, ¡°If my woman ever dared to harm me, I wouldn¡¯t be a McCray if I didn¡¯t torture her until she begged for the sweet release of death and deny it from her. Mr. Kooper, your heart is still too soft.¡± ¡°My heart has turned too soft?¡± Gilbert gave a light chuckle and said coldly, ¡°You really think this incident would just be over like that?¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Kohen immediately had his interests caught, ¡°How do you n to punish your woman?¡± Looking at the gleaming expression of the man across him, Gilbert could not help but furrow his eyebrows. He roared at Kohen, annoyed, ¡°What are you doing being so curious? It¡¯s none of your business.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, it doesn¡¯t concern me. I am just a little curious. If Kisa bore your child, would you be willing to punish her?¡± Gilbert¡¯s whole body shook, ¡°What did you say?¡± Eylul was also slightly shocked, ¡°Mrs. Kooper is pregnant?¡± Hearing about Kisa being pregnant, her heart felt a little envious. As a woman, she was afraid that her body had problems and could not bear a child. After Gilbert overcame his shock, a disdainful cold smile emerged from his face,¡± Where did you get this information? If I myself did not know about this, how would you know?¡± Kohen sneered and threw the newspaper in his hand at Gilbert, ¡°Take a look at it yourself.¡± Gilbert proceeded to open the newspaper. His hurried expression made Kohen feel it was hrious as he looked on. The apanying picture was Kisa standing at the hospital entrance and surrounded by reporters. Another picture was her taking medication from the window. The images even had a close-up shot of the medicine. The medicine¡¯s name was a prenatal care medication. Gilbert was so excited his hands were shaking. Besides his excitement and delight, confusion emerged in his heart as he thought more about it, ¡®That day, I saw with my own eyes that Kisa had taken the contraceptive medicine. How could she possibly still be able to bear children? Did the contraceptive not take effect, or is the media reporting indiscriminately? But if she¡¯s not pregnant, why did she go to the counter to take prenatal care medication?¡¯ He could not bear to specte anymore. He wanted to see her immediately! He wanted to ask her clearly! Chapter 1074 Chapter 1074 Chapter 1074 His Urgency Gilbert stood up with a swoosh. Kohen held onto hisughter and looked at him,¡± What are you doing?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going back to Calthon!¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do. The affairs of our coboration have yet to be discussed properly. Didn¡¯t we agree on staying for a few days?¡± ¡°I cannot stay for even a second more. I must go back to Calthon immediately!¡± Gilbert said and walked to the entrance in vast strides. Kohen yfully twitched his lips and said to his back, ¡°If you go back to Calthon now, then the contract we signed yesterday will be null and void. Don¡¯t expect me to help you anymore.¡± ¡°Whatever!¡± Gilbert said without turning back his head. Then, his silhouette disappeared from the door frame. Kohen chuckled, saying, ¡°From what I see, Kisa is about to sabotage him to death. He would still not be willing to hurt even a hair on that woman.¡± ¡°This shows that he truly loves Ms. Becker very much,¡± Eylul said and suddenly chuckled quietly, ¡°Ms. Becker actually is quite blessed.¡± Kohen furrowed his brows to look at her. From the way she said it, she made it sound as if she was not blessed. ¡®Even if she really isn¡¯t blessed, that¡¯s all her own fault. Who told her to scheme her way to marry into the McCray family?¡® ¡°Will the contract between you and Mr. Kooper really be null and void?¡± Eylul suddenly asked him. Kohen twitched his lips, ¡°You seem quite concerned about him.¡± ¡°I¡¯m concerned for you,¡± Eylul finished speaking and found out she had said something wrong. She stared at Kohen, giving her an odd looking. She hurriedly exined, ¡°That¡¯s right. Mr. Kooper¡¯s influence is vast. You could get quite a few benefits from your coboration with him this time and also let Mr. Kooper owe you a favor. Isn¡¯t that a win¨Cwin?¡± ¡°Heh, you¡¯re very crafty. You¡¯ve thought of everything,¡± Kohen could not help but ridicule her with a sarcastic sentence. Eylul pursed her lips and hung her head while not making a sound. She had just wanted to tell him a relevant opinion and instead he had called him crafty. She felt like she should just talk less in the future. Seeing her sickly expression, Kohen¡¯s mood turned irritable, too, ¡°Geez, just rx. I was just ying with him earlier. Since the contract was signed, naturally, it is in effect.¡± ¡°Mmm,¡± Eylul replied casually. Kohen was very annoyed and turned around to walk upstairs. Eylul quickly asked him, ¡°Are we still going to the hospital today?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going. If you want to go, go yourself!¡± Kohen finished saying and stomped back upstairs. Eylul let out a small sigh. Then she shall go herself. At Calthon, Kisa knocked on Lea¡¯s door for a long time, and no one responded. Kisa couldn¡¯t tell if there was no one in the house or if Lea had fainted inside it. She gave Lea a few more calls. This time, the phone showed that Lea¡¯s was turned off. She was prepared to wait in front of Lea¡¯s door for a while. The phone from the Kooper familyndline suddenly called in. The Kooper family rarely used thisndline to call. No one knew if it was the kids who called. She quickly epted the call and heard George the butler¡¯s voice. ¡°Young madam, have you finished work?¡± ¡°Mmm, what¡¯s wrong? Did something happen to the children?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, young madam. The children are fine. It¡¯s Madam Kooper Sr. She called for you toe back for dinner.¡± ¡°Madam Kooper Sr. called for me toe back to have dinner?¡± Kisa was stunned for a moment. Wasn¡¯t Madalyn very disgusted with her? Why would she still call her back to eat dinner? All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. ¡°Young madam, if it is convenient for you, pleasee back as soon as possible. The children have been waiting for you.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Putting down the phone, Kisa was filled with confusion. ¡®What¡¯s the meaning behind Madalyn suddenly calling me back to eat dinner? It¡¯s probably not because she wanted to put me on the spot. Since the children are present, Madalyn won¡¯t oppose me in front of them. Besides, judging from his voice during the call, George the butler seemed to be quite delighted,¡® Kisa thought to herself. She gave a worried nce at Lea¡¯s house unit door. Then, she turned around to walk toward the elevator. Just when she walked out of the elevator, a man had just stepped into the elevator next door. Chapter 1075 Chapter 1075 Chapter 1075 I Am Dying Anthony opened the door to Lea¡¯s room. He had always had the keys to the house. When the door opened, the room was pitch ck, and he could not help but frown.¡¯ Is that woman not back yet?¡® he thought as displeasure filled his heart. He held a phone that was calling Lea in one hand while the other turned on the lights. [Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavable.] ¡°F*ck that b*tch! She must be out with other men right now!¡± Anthony cursed as he flipped the switch. When the lights came on, he saw Lea huddled in the corner of the room. He was taken aback by her sudden appearance. ¡°God!¡± He cursed and walked toward Lea. ¡°Are you f*cking crazy? Why didn¡¯t you turn on the lights, and why did you turn off your phone? What are you trying to do?¡± Lea curled up without saying a word. She looked like she was going insane. Anthony irritably grabbed her and said, ¡°Are you mute?! I am talking to you!¡± Only then did Lea look up. Her face was as pale as a ghost. Anthony frowned as he uttered, ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°I can¡¯t help you anymore. Kisa fired me.¡± Anthony¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Did you tell her about us?¡± Lea shook her head. ¡°I have a health problem, so I can¡¯t be her assistant anymore, and I won¡¯t be of much help to you either,¡± she said with an ugly smile. ¡°A health problem?¡± Anthony looked at her subconsciously and asked in a blunt tone, ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± ¡°I¡¯m dying!¡± Lea replied casually, trying to test the man. However, all he did wasugh. ¡°Stop joking. You¡¯re fine. How could you die so easily?¡± Sure enough, the man in front of her did not care about her. It was all in her head. ¡°Right. I was just joking,¡± Lea replied with a smile. ¡°Do you have nothing better to do?¡± Anthony asked as he threw her to the ground. When Lea was falling, she subconsciously held onto her abdomen to protect it, but the man did not see her subtle action. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Instead, he tugged at his cor irritably and snorted coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t joke around like that with me next time. It¡¯s meaningless.¡± Lea got up from the ground and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t.¡± Anthony then sat on the sofa with his legs folded on the coffee table. He was smoking a cigarette as he looked at the sickly woman standing by the window and said, ¡°Come here!¡± Lea hesitated for a few seconds but still chose to go over. She did not dare to go close to the man since she was afraid that he would identally hurt the baby in her womb, but there was no way she could tell him about the baby, since he would just tell her to get an abortion. He had even said that she was not worthy to bear his child. Therefore, to safely give birth to her child, she had to hide in a ce where no one would find her. ¡°Kisa actually did fire me, though,¡± she sat next to the man and said cautiously. ¡°Why?¡± Anthony stopped smoking and asked. ¡°Maybe she noticed that I had tried to harm her. I¡¯m no longer a useful pawn to you. So¡­ Can you please let me go? I want to leave this ce and start a new¡ª¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you even think about it!¡± he snorted before she could finish speaking. Lea was panicking. ¡°Why? I¡¯m useless now!¡± ¡°Like you said, you¡¯re a pawn. Only I can abandon you and not the other way around, got it?¡± Anthony laughed coldly. Chapter 1076 Chapter 1076 Chapter 1076 Special State Lea¡¯s already pale face turned even paler. ¡°Please, Mr. Mullen. You¡¯re so rich and powerful; I¡¯m sure you can find any pawn or woman you want. Please let me go. I just want to go somewhere secluded and live a good life. Please¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Anthony growled, irritated. He pulled off his tie and threw it on the coffee table as he yelled at her coldly, ¡°You don¡¯t get it, do you? Only I can abandon you. You want to go to a ce where there is no one else and live a good life there? Fine. We¡¯ll talk about that after I get tired of you.¡± After he finished speaking, he rushed toward her, pressed her against the sofa, and ripped her clothes off. ¡°No, Mr. Mullen. Please, don¡¯t¡­¡± Lea cried out when she realized his intentions. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Anthony narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°Why are you trying to get away from me? Why are you rejecting me? Do you have another man out there?!¡± The man¡¯s face looked cold and scary. Lea was frightened. ¡°N¨CNo¡­ It¡¯s just¡­ M¨Cmy rtives are here.¡± ¡°Your rtives are here?¡± The man muttered in suspicion. However, he got off from her because he was not in the mood anymore. He got up, straightened himself, and went out of the apartment. Lea let out a sigh of relief when she saw him leave, but she was also disappointed at the same time. When Anthony was at the door, he stopped, turned his head around, and warned her, ¡°Remember what I said. Only I can abandon you. Even if Kisa has fired you, you still have toe back to Athadale in the next few days.¡± He then left and mmed the door shut with a bang. Lea curled up on the sofa, feeling worried and uneasy. She did not know what to do to keep the child in her womb safe. ¡°Ma¡¯am!¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am!¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am!¡± The three kids greeted Kisa when she returned to the Kooper residence. As usual, Ada rushed over into her arms. However, just before she could hug her, Andrew and ke pulled her away. ¡°Ada, Ma¡¯am is in a special state right now. You can¡¯t just go into her arms like that anymore.¡± As soon as ke said that, Ada nodded in realization. ¡°Ah, yes. I almost forgot.¡± Kisa looked at the three of them, confused. ¡®Special state? What does that mean?¡® ¡°Come, Ma¡¯am. Let¡¯s go and eat. Great¨CGrandma has prepared a lot of your favorite dishes today.¡± Kisa was shocked and puzzled at the same time. ¡®Why is grandma being so nice today? It¡¯s not like it¡¯s still six years ago.¡® As she was questioning everything, the kids dragged her into the house. At that moment, Madalyn was sitting at the dining table that was full of yummy dishes. Kisa took a nce and saw that there were quite a few of her favorite dishes. ¡°Hmph,¡± snorted Madalyn as she said, ¡°Go wash your hands and eat.¡± Kisa did not respond. She just went to the bathroom obediently. When she arrived at the entrance of the bathroom, she was shocked. ¡®Since when did the bathroom have a non¨Cslip mat? Are they worried that the kids would slip and fall? Hmm. Grandma is rather old and more prone to slipping and falling if she isn¡¯t careful. I guess this is a good safety measure,¡® she thought. Kisa then turned her head and called out to George, who was not far away, saying, ¡± This non¨Cslip mat is a good idea. It should have been used long ago.¡± George smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m d you like it, Mrs. Kooper. Mrs. Kooper Sr. was the one who ordered us toy it out.¡± Kisa washed her hands and thought that Madalyn was just being cautious. When she came out of the bathroom, the three kids were already at the table, waiting for her toe. Fearing that the children were hungry, she quickly rushed over. When Madalyn saw that Kisa was walking fast, she frowned. Chapter 1077 Chapter 1077 Chapter 1077 The Weirdness of the Kooper Family ¡°Slow down. Why are you in such a hurry? There¡¯s plenty of food to go around. Are you that scared that you won¡¯t get any?¡± Kisa was startled when she heard Madalyn saying that so suddenly and slowed down. ¡®What is up with grandma today? Why does it feel a little weird here?¡® ¡°Walk slower, Ma¡¯am. Don¡¯t fall,¡± Andrew said as he went to help her. ke also came over to support her. One of them was on the left while the other was on the right, like they were helping an elderly cross the road. ¡®What is going on here?¡® Kisa thought.¡® Not only is grandma acting strange, but the kids are also acting weird too.¡® She then sat down on the chair. Madalyn served her some soup and said, ¡°Eat up. It helps with the body.¡± Kisa looked at the bowl of soup that was handed to her and finally took it after a long time. ¡°Thank you, but my body is fine,¡± she said politely. ¡°Oh, if you say it¡¯s fine, then it¡¯s fine?¡± Madalyn replied with a serious look on her face. ¡°I didn¡¯t cook it for you anyway. Eat up.¡± Kisa felt like her words were contradicting each other. ¡®If she didn¡¯t have it cooked for me, why is she telling me to eat up? Something feels off today. Everyone in this house is acting so strange.¡® However, to avoid Madalyn from nagging, she obediently ate the bowl of soup. ¡®After all, the kids are here. She wouldn¡¯t try to poison me, would she?¡® ¡°Here, Ma¡¯am, thergest piece of steak we have,¡± Ada said as she put a piece of steak on her te. The meat was so big that it took up half of the te. Kisa patted Ada¡¯s head lovingly and said, ¡°Thank you, Ada. I like you the most.¡±This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. After hearing that, Andrew and ke got jealous and immediately added some food to her te, which was full after a while. She shook her head amusedly, looking at the pile of food on her te. Andrew and Ada were still grabbing some food for her when she quickly said with augh, ¡°I like all three of you. You guys are my favorite people.¡± ¡°Hee¨Chee, we like you too, Ma¡¯am.¡± Only then did kids give up. When Kisa decided to eat thevish meal, Madalyn suddenly reached out and took her te away. Kisa stared at her inexplicably. She then saw her grab another te of food for her. ¡°The children put too much oily food on your te. It¡¯s not good to eat that much. Here, this te is filled with lean meat and veggies. You can have seconds if it¡¯s not enough.¡± Kisa stared at her, feeling overwhelmed. ¡®What is going on today??? Why is grandma acting the same as she was six years ago? Am I dreaming?¡® Kisa pinched herself to see if it was true. ¡®Ah! That hurt! So this isn¡¯t a dream¡­ But why is grandma treating me so nicely? Her attitude has made a total 180¡ã.¡® Kisa even remembered that when she had gone out earlier that morning, Madalyn had red at her fiercely with a deathly g¨¢ze. She had been staring at her these few days, expressing her dislike toward her. ¡®What happened? Why did her attitude toward me change?¡® Just as she was lost in thought, Mrs. Kooper Sr. suddenly said sternly, ¡°Don¡¯t just sit there. Eat! Do you need to be supervised when you eat?¡± ¡°Huh? Oh, right¡­¡± Kisa quickly buried her head in her food after that. ¡°Slow down, or you¡¯ll choke,¡± Madalyn said. Suddenly, Kisa was choking on her food and started coughing. Madalyn panicked as the three kids started panicking too. ¡°Water! Water! Quick! Go grab some water!¡± she yelled at George. Chapter 1078 Chapter 1078 Chapter 1078 Will The Baby Be Okay George was quick on his hands and feet. He brought a ss of water in a matter of a few seconds. ¡°Here you go, Mrs. Kooper.¡± Kisa hurriedly grabbed the ss of water and felt puzzled as she drank it. ¡®I just choked on some food. It¡¯s not like I¡¯m a newborn baby. Why are they so worried?¡® she wondered. ¡°Great¨CGrandma, will the baby in Ma¡¯am¡¯s tummy be okay?¡± ¡°Pfft-¡± Kisa was so startled when she heard Ada¡¯s words that she spit out a mouthful of water. Mrs. Kooper Sr. gently patted her back anxiously and said, ¡± What¡¯s the matter? Did you choke on the water this time?¡± ¡°Cough, cough, cough¡­¡± Earlier, Kisa had choked on her food, but this time round, she choked because of chock. She could not stop coughing, and her face flushed red. ¡°You¡¯re an adult, yet you can¡¯t drink water properly? Don¡¯t hurt my future great- grandchild with your cough,¡± Madalyn voiced out in a panic. After saying that, she looked at George and said, ¡°Quick. Call Kelvin toe and have a look at her. Quick!¡± ¡°N¨Cno¡­¡± Kisa hurriedly grabbed George by the hand. She took a tissue and wiped the corners of her lips. She then looked at their worried and anxious faces and helplessly said, ¡°I¡¯m fine, and I¡¯m not pregnant. You guys have it all wrong.¡± Madalyn frowned. Her face darkened as she said, ¡°It¡¯s all over the news. Who are you trying to fool? Or do you think that I¡¯m not worthy of knowing about you being pregnant?!¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s not it. I¡¯m really not pregnant!¡± Kisa hurriedly said, scrunching her face. ¡®I knew these reporters would cause trouble.¡¯ Ada shook her arm and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, Ma¡¯am. We love the baby. We won¡¯t hurt your baby.¡± ¡°Yeah, Ma¡¯am,¡± Andrew added. ¡°We¡¯ll treat the baby in your belly as if they were our own brother or sister.¡± ke nodded in agreement as George brought the newspaper to her. ¡°Look, Mrs. Kooper. It is clearly written here that you are pregnant with Mr. Kooper¡¯s flesh and blood¡­¡± Kisa quickly grabbed the paper to read it carefully. Her head hurt as she read the article. She felt like even if she had ten mouths to exin herself, she still could not fully exin it to them. ¡°Also, Mrs. Kooper, there are close¨Cups of you going to the doctors to get prenatal care pills,¡± George said happily. ¡°Why did the doctor prescribe you prenatal care pills? Is your baby in danger? No, you¡¯re not allowed to go to the set tomorrow. You should just rest at home.¡± ¡°No!¡± Kisa hurriedly said. She had not expected things to take such a turn. ¡®How am I going to exin myself now?¡® She thought. ¡°I¡¯m not pregnant; my friend is. I went to grab the pills for her. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask the doctor toe and check my belly.¡± ¡°Stop making up excuses. I¡¯ll ask someone toe keep guard tomorrow. You¡¯re not allowed to go anywhere!¡± Madalyn was adamant as she cared tremendously for the child¡® in Kisa¡¯s belly. She stared at her stomach; her expectant gaze seemed to have prated Kisa¡¯s belly and seen the ¡®child¡® inside. Kisa was terrified, but no matter how she tried to exin herself, it was no use. ¡®There¡¯s no way I can stay here. I haven¡¯t finished filming the show yet!¡® Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. After thinking about it, Kisa simply said, ¡°I can¡¯t just lie in this house every day. The doctor told me I needed to move around more because it¡¯s good for my body and the baby.¡± Madalyn frowned in suspicion. Chapter 1079 Chapter 1079 Chapter 1079 A Woman¡¯s Worth Increases While Bearing Children ¡°Don¡¯t you lie to me. The doctor gave you prenatal pills. There¡¯s no way he would ask you to move around more. Do you think I¡¯ve never given birth before?¡± ¡°Of course not.

N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Madalyn nced at Kisa in suspicion. ¡°If you¡¯re worried, you can send a bodyguard with me when I¡¯m out. My show ising to an end; I can¡¯t just leave the production,¡± she hurriedly added. ¡®This will deceive her,¡® she thought. ¡®I¡¯m going to the hospital to get proof that I¡¯m not pregnant tomorrow. She¡¯ll believe me then. There is no way I will be grounded and forced to stay in this house tomorrow.¡® ¡°I think what Mrs. Kooper said makes sense, Madam. Being locked up at home every day isn¡¯t good for the baby, and pregnant women should get fresh air every day. I think it¡¯s best we listen to her and get a bodyguard to follow her around,¡± said George. Madalyn thought about it for a moment and nodded. ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll listen to her this time.¡± After finishing speaking, she red at Kisa again and said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, if you hurt a hair on my precious great¨Cgrandchild¡¯s head, you¡¯re dead.¡± Kisa pursed her lips stiffly. She did not know how to react to Madalyn¡¯s love for the ¡® child¡® in her womb when she clearly hated her. ¡°Now, eat up. Don¡¯t let my precious great¨Cgrandchild starve!¡± Madelyn told her. Kisa wiped her forehead in embarrassment and continued eating her food with her head down, thinking everything would be fine after she got proof at the hospital tomorrow. She felt guilty that Madalyn was so worried about her non¨Cexistent child. ¡°Great¨CGrandma, if the baby in Ma¡¯am¡¯s tummy is your precious great¨Cgrandchild, then what are we?¡± Andrew rushed to Madalyn and asked. ¡°Well, both you and Ada are my precious great¨Cgrandchildren, of course. ke is too,¡± she said with a kind smile. ke stayed quiet and smiled shyly. Suddenly, Ada looked at Kisa¡¯s stomach, her little finger on her lips, and asked curiously, ¡°Is the baby in Ma¡¯am¡¯s belly a baby brother or baby sister? I hope it¡¯s a baby sister. That way, she could y with me! Hee¨Chee!¡± ¡°I hope it¡¯s a girl too, preferably a baby sister who is as cute as Ada,¡± Andrew added. His words made Ada happy. She smiled so hard that they could not even see her eyes. ¡°I hope it¡¯s a baby brother. That way, we can all protect Ada when we get older,¡± ke said. Ada tilted her head, thinking for a while before she said, ¡°That sounds great. They can take care of me when we grow up. But it¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t mind if it¡¯s a baby brother or baby sister; I¡¯ll love them either way.¡± ¡°Yeah, we will.¡± Kisa felt guilty when she saw how excited the children were for the ¡®child¡® in her womb. ¡®I hope this misunderstanding clears up soon,¡® she thought. This ¡®pregnancy¡® made her realize how much society judges a woman¡¯s worth based on her fertility and if she can have children. When Kisa was done with dinner, Madalyn asked several of the servants to help her up the stairs. Her bathroom was covered with non¨Cslip mats. She even asked a few servants to apany Kisa in the bathroom when she was taking a bath so that nothing would happen to her. She was so embarrassed that the pushed all of them out. They even installed a call button beside her bed, which alerted the servants whenever she needed them. She did not know about the buttons at first and leaned against the bed after taking a shower. Suddenly, the call button sounded, which startled her. Before she could rx again, three servants appeared in her room. Chapter 1080 Chapter 1080 Chapter 1080 Andrew and Ada¡¯s Parentage It was less than half a minute from when the bell rang until the three servants came in. Kisa wondered if they lived next door and paid constant attention to the bell. ¡°Ma¡¯am, are you hungry?¡± ¡°Do you feel unwell?¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am, how about I get some food for you?¡± The servants walked out as she spoke. Kisa stopped her hurriedly. She held her forehead and asked the three servants,¡± When was this bell installed?¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am, Mrs. Kooper Sr. asked someone to install it immediately after she read the newspaper. Besides, the mat in the bathroom and other furnishings in this room were all ordered by Mrs. Kooper Sr. and arranged after she learned you were pregnant.¡± Kisa shook her head. She said resignedly, ¡°Alright, I got it. You may leave now.¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am, is there anything we can do for you?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°We¡¯re leaving. Ma¡¯am, you can ring the bell if you need anything. We¡¯re living just right next to you.¡± Kisa closed her eyes speechlessly, ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± ¡®Jeez! All this fuss was made over the pregnancy? Madalyn ignored it when I was pregnant six years ago. She didn¡¯t even leave a single servant for me to allow Gilbert and me to spend time together. Gilbert was always never at home at that time. I lived alone in this big house, and I never saw her worry for me. Besides, she already has two great¨Cgrandchildren. Why does she seem more nervous about the kid in my belly? Downstairs, George said to Madalyn, ¡°Madam, aren¡¯t you being overly nervous? Ma¡¯am is just pregnant.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand. I didn¡¯t witness the birth and growth of Andrew and Ada during the years when I was in aa. I feel so much regret whenever I think about it. So, I absolutely cannot miss the birth and growth of my beloved great¨Cgrandchild this time. ¡°Moreover, I always felt this woman had malicious intentions, so she suddenly made up with Gilbert. I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll use the child in her belly to threaten Gilbert. So, although she¡¯s only pregnant, I still have to watch over her and ensure Gilbert¡¯s child is safe.¡± George nodded to show he understood. He asked quizzically after a while, ¡°By the way, who is the mom of Andrew and Ada? I¡¯ve never seen Master Gilbert mention it for so many years.¡± Madalyn¡¯s eyes flickered instantly, ¡®It seems even George doesn¡¯t know about Andrew and Ada¡¯s parentage. Gilbert has really hidden it well.¡¯ Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Madalyn covered her mouth, cleared her throat, and said, ¡°In fact, it doesn¡¯t matter who the mom of the two children is. Gilbert was drunk at that time. So he had sexual rtions with that woman unconsciously. Later, the woman got pregnant with Gilbert¡¯s child. She wanted to make use of this and force Gilbert to marry her.¡± ¡°I preferred Kisa, and you knew Kisa was also pregnant at that time. So, I made Kisa marry Gilbert and sorted that woman out with money. I paid that woman arge amount of money to leave Calthon after giving birth, but in return, the child would belong to Kooper¡¯s family.¡± ¡°Oh¡­I see!¡± George suddenly realized, ¡°No wonder Davian came back with a baby boy and a baby girl without their mom on that year¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve. It seems their mom really left Calthon after giving birth. I have never seen their mom back and make trouble after all these years.¡± Kisa stood at the stairs, listened quietly to the conversation between George and Madalyn, and felt herself go stiff.

No wonder Gilbert refused to tell me who Andrew and Ada¡¯s mom was. So that¡¯s the parentage of the two kids.¡¯ For some reason, Kisa took pity on Andrew and Ada in her heart when she learned of their parentage. ¡®It turns out their first existence was not recognized or expected by the Kooper family. Moreover, their mom¡­ abandoned them for money.¡¯ Madalyn looked out of the yard with a walking stick and sneered, ¡°Yes. That woman was sensible. She didn¡¯te to make trouble for so many years. As for the reason why Gilbert didn¡¯t mention their mom in front of the kids, it¡¯s probably because he didn¡¯t want to make them sad.¡± George nodded, ¡°I understood.¡± He said quizzically after a pause, ¡°However, the day when Andrew and Ada were born was also the day Ma¡¯am had an ident in the prison. Ma¡¯am lost Master Gilbert¡¯s child, but Davian sent Andrew and Ada here on New Year¡¯s Eve that year. Maybe this is God¡¯s will.¡± ¡®What a cruel twist of fate!¡¯ Kisa looked up at the ceiling to avoid her tears falling. ¡®The pain deep in my heart always res back up when talking about that child back then. All of them are children of Gilbert on the same day of birth. But my child was taken away from me, and another woman gave birth to two lovely children for Gilbert. It¡¯s too cruel, even if it¡¯s God¡¯s will. Anyway, I won¡¯t me Andrew and Ada. I¡¯ll treat them as my own children from now on.¡¯ Kisa did not disturb Madalyn and George. She just turned around and went upstairs quietly. Madalyn sighed meaningfully, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s God¡¯s will. But it¡¯s fine for the children to recognize Kisa as their mom if she¡¯s sincere toward Gilbert.¡± Kisa returned to the room, and her mood was affected again. ¡®I thought Andrew and Ada¡¯s mom was the woman Gilbert loved most because only that woman was allowed to give birth to the child of the Kooper family. However, this isn¡¯t the truth. I didn¡¯t know what to say. It seems inappropriate to resent Gilbert. After all, he was drunk at the time. Luckily, the kids haven¡¯t been moring about their momtely. They just want me to be their mom desperately. But they¡¯ll find out the truth eventually when they grow up.¡¯ Kisa leaned back on the back of the chair and felt depressed. ¡®Alcohol really is a vice. Presumably, that woman was pregnant around the same time as me. Thinking back to the time Gilbert hated me so much because of that night, he kept saying I was being cheap, and that I designed it to frame him. I have no idea how he felt about that woman after they had rtions.¡¯ Kisa felt even more annoyed while thinking of Gilbert¡¯s one-night stand with that woman. Shey down on the bed, depressed. She was exhausted, but she rolled around and could not fall asleep. All those unbearable memories echoed in her mind. Suddenly, she wondered, ¡®Would everyone be better off if it was that woman who married Gilbert back then?¡¯ Kisa turned off the lights. The only source of light left was the moonlight illuminating the room. The night went on. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Kisa tried to sleep for a long time, but she still could not. There were too many things on her mind. She reached out for her phone. She had gotten into bed after eight o¡¯clock, and it was already midnight. Her finger tapped on Gilbert¡¯s contact identally. For a moment, Kisa wanted to dial out and talk to him about what happened back then. But thinking that he was still ming her for the contract, she gave up that idea. Suddenly, a beam of headlights shone in through the windows and was followed by the sound of brakes as she was putting the phone down. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1082 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1082 Chapter 1082 He¡¯s Back Kisa tensed up and listened carefully to the noises outside. She heard the squeal of brakes in the courtyard downstairs. The sounds were jarring and pierced through the still of the night. ¡®Who¡¯d be getting home thiste? Madalyn, George, and the kids are at home. No one¡¯s sick here, so it certainly won¡¯t be Kelvin. I¡¯m sure it isn¡¯t Davian either, as Gilbert isn¡¯t here. Could it be¡­Gilbert?¡¯ Kisa got up quickly when thinking of this. She had no time to put on her shoes but hurried to the window, opened the curtains, and looked down. The lights in the yard were dim. However, with a nce Kisa could recognize that the man who got off the car was Gilbert, as she was very familiar with his figure. At this moment, maybe because of the guilt in her heart or some other reason, she turned and ran toward the door immediately. She rushed downstairs and opened the door. Gilbert saw Kisa appear at the door as soon as he turned around, and he was stunned. But his look of surprise soon turned into one of endless longing and tenderness. He walked up to her in a few strides. He had plenty to say and to ask her, but he could ask nothing when he saw her at this moment. His mind waspletely nk. Without any thoughts or words, he merely put his arms around Kisa¡¯s slender waist, held the back of her head in his hands, and kissed her deeply. Kisa clung to his chest obediently without any resistance. The man kissed her passionately, as if he wanted to make up for all the days that he had missed her with this kiss. Kisa was so dazed she could hardly stand, so she pushed against him gently. Although Kisa¡¯s strength was weak, Gilbert still let her go. He licked his lips and looked at her with dark and fiery eyes. Kisa calmed herself down and stood firm hardly. She looked at the man in front of her with blushing cheeks, ¡°W-Why did youe back?¡± Gilbert stayed silent and looked at her fixedly, ¡®It was midnight when I arrived Calthon. I looked at her room just now and found the lights were off. I thought she was asleep, but I didn¡¯t expect¡­¡¯ The resentment toward Kisa in Gilbert¡¯s heart seemed to disappear instantly. Only deep thoughts and warmth were left when he saw her open the door for him in her nightgown, and how her in face was full of anticipation and urgency. All he had ever wanted was always to be greeted by her and her anticipation when he returned home. Kisa had never expected the man to kiss her affectionately as soon as he came back. It seemed he was not ming her for screwing up GK Pictures¡¯s affairs. She asked him hesitantly, ¡°Don¡¯t you¡­ me me for that contract?¡± Suddenly, Gilbert pulled her into his arms again. He stroked her long hair and said in his deep and hoarse voice, which was full of affection, ¡°Yes! I me you. But you leave me no choice. I can be angry with you, but I can¡¯t bring myself to hurt you even though you¡¯ve screwed me over so badly.¡± Gilbert closed his eyes and hugged her tightly. ¡®My hesitation and anxiety these days can only be calmed when she is in my arms. I give up. I can¡¯t ever punish her cruelly, no matter what this woman does to me.¡¯ Kisa stiffed and allowed the man to hug her. ¡®He said he won¡¯t hurt me even though I screwed him over so badly. How can I not be moved by these affectionate words?¡¯ ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Kisa¡¯s eyes flushed with tears immediately, and her vision blurred when she thought of what Davian said that day. ¡®Do I still have to doubt him after he¡¯s done all this?¡¯ Kisa was confused at this moment. She was unsure whether to follow her heart or believe the truth given by the warden and jailers. Gilbert let go of her gently and looked toward her belly. But in that moment, his face hardened into a frown. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1083 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1083 Chapter 1083 I Can¡¯t Hurt or Scold You Gilbert noticed Kisa was not even wearing shoes while looking at her belly. She had just run downstairs in her bare feet, even though it was so cold at night. Gilbert hugged Kisa horizontally and said with a little reproach, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you wear shoes?¡± Kisa was startled, then realized she was not wearing shoes. ¡®No wonder I felt some pain earlier.¡¯ ¡°I forgot,¡± Kisa said softly. Gilbert looked at her. He couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Were you that excited when you found out I was back?¡± ¡°Of course not!¡± Kisa denied it subconsciously. ¡°I want to ask you quickly about the contract. Do you really n not to punish me?¡± Gilbert carried her upstairs directly. After entering the room, he stared into Kisa¡¯s eyes and said resignedly, ¡°I want to punish you, but I don¡¯t know how. I can¡¯t hurt or scold you.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t intend to kick me out of Kooper¡¯s residence?¡± Kisa asked again. ¡®I screwed over GK¡¯s affairs so badly, but he¡¯s not punishing me at all.

His big and warm hand covered her t belly immediately, ¡°You¡¯re pregnant with my child. How could I kick you out of Kooper¡¯s residence?¡± Kisa looked embarrassed, ¡®This misunderstanding is getting worse. Gilbert found out the news even though he was overseas. The power of news and the media really is unbelievable. In other words, Gilbert came back suddenly because of this child.¡¯ ¡°How many months pregnant are you?¡± Gilbert looked at her tenderly and stroked her abdomen with his fingers gently. Kisa felt sorry to exin when seeing Gilbert¡¯s expectations and love toward this child. ¡®He hated my child so much when I was pregnant with his child before. He kept asking me to have an abortion and saying my child was evil. But I¡¯m not pregnant now. Instead, he¡¯s looking forward to the arrival of this non-existent child. I feel a little ironic whenparing now and the past.¡¯ Gilbert took off his coat and threw it on the couch. He loosened his tie and said, ¡°Is your show done filming? How much time is it taking?¡± ¡°Almost done. It should be finished in less than a month.¡± Gilbert frowned, ¡°Can you find a substitute for the rest of the y?¡± ¡°No!¡± Gilbert said resignedly when seeing the persistence on the woman¡¯s face, ¡°Alright. Be careful when you¡¯re on set. Don¡¯t be involved in any dangerous stunts.¡± ¡°Gilbert, actually I¡­¡± ¡°Wait a minute. Let me take a shower first. I¡¯m dirty aftering back from outside¡­ ¡°The man walked into the bathroom as he said. Kisa opened her mouth, but she could only hold back her words. She looked at her t stomach with a wry face. ¡®I was so afraid of getting pregnant with his child originally. I¡¯m worried our rtionship would be more complicated and more things would be involved once there¡¯s a child. But after seeing how much he and Madalyn are looking forward to this child, I suddenly feel it would be so good to actually be pregnant with his child.¡¯ Kisa leaned against the bedside and yed with her fingers. She was trying to think of an exnation that would be more convincing to that man, but what she was most afraid of was Madalyn. No matter what Kisa said, Madalyn was convinced that Kisa was pregnant with a child of the Kooper family. Suddenly, just as Kisa was thinking wildly, the bathroom door opened. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1084 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1084 Chapter 1084 What Are You Hiding For? Gilbert came out wrapped in a towel with a puff of warm air around his body. He took a towel and wiped his hair casually a few times, then put the towel on the chair by the window. The man had walked over when Kisa stared at him closely and thought about how to tell him. He tore off the towel directly, then got into the bed naked. Kisa blushed and moved to the side immediately. The man pulled her back. ¡°What are you hiding for? You¡¯ve seen it before.¡± All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Kisa¡¯s face turned redder when the man said it so bluntly. She pressed the quilt and separated both of them with it. Gilbert nced at her movements and could not help but smile. He did not force her to stay close to him. ¡®It¡¯s okay that she¡¯s not clinging to me. If she was, I might not be able to control myself.¡¯ He put his arms behind his head and said in a hoarse voice, ¡± If you weren¡¯t pregnant I¡¯d take you right now on this bed.¡± Kisa bit her lip and could not speak out her exnation again. She squeezed her palms and looked at his side face, ¡°Gilbert¡­ are you looking forward to this child?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Gilbert looked at the ceiling and replied in a deep voice. In fact, right now the thing Gilbert wanted to do the most was to hold Kisa in his arms and have sex with her. However, since she was pregnant, he might hurt the baby if he did it. So he resolved himself to control his urges, and he felt like he could do it as long as he did not touch her or look at her. ¡°By the way, you haven¡¯t told me how long you have been pregnant. I remember that you took the contraceptive pillst time. The pill had no effect on the child, right?¡± Kisa smiled in amazement and said to him, ¡°Gilbert, do you think there¡¯s a possibility that I¡¯m not pregnant, and the journalists just reported it indiscriminately?¡± Gilbert frowned and turned to look at her, ¡°Stop kidding. There¡¯s an anti-slip mat in the bathroom, and a call bell is installed on the bed.¡± He had seen these as soon as he came in. Kisa kept smiling at him, ¡°Those are all prepared by your grandma after reading the newspaper. All of you prefer to trust the newspaper instead of me.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face darkened slightly, ¡°You are¡­ not pregnant?¡± Kisaughed, ¡°No.¡± ¡°Oh! Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier!?¡± The man growled. He turned over andy on top of her. Kisa was stunned, ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re not pregnant, I have nothing to worry about,¡± Gilbert said as he tore off the quilt wrapped around her body. Kisa pushed his shoulder immediately when she realized what he was going to do, ¡°D -Don¡¯t you still me me and hate me for screwing up GK¡¯s affairs? Why are you still touching me? Shouldn¡¯t you ignore me and drive me away?¡± The man looked at her with a smirk, ¡°Yes, I me you and hate you. That¡¯s why I have to punish you severely, don¡¯t I?¡± ¡°No, no, no. That¡¯s not what I meant when I said ¡®punishment¡¯¡­ I¡­ Ah¡­¡± Before Kisa could finish her sentence, the man had already started. Kisa gritted her teeth and thought to herself, ¡®I wouldn¡¯t have exined it if I knew earlier. I can simply make him mistakenly think that I was really pregnant.¡¯ They kept tossing until midnight. Kisa slept deeply and could not wake up no matter what happened. Gilbert looked at her well-behaved sleeping face quietly. His eyes became gentler. He was still angry with this woman and resent her from the time he left in anger that night to the moment before he came back. But when he saw her, he felt all his anger and resentment were gone. He had never realized that his yearning for her was so intense. Gilbert took her hand and held it tightly in his palm. He whispered, ¡°I don¡¯t care about anything this time. You can hurt me if you want to, as long as you don¡¯t leave me.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1085 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1085 Chapter 1085 To Keep Our Baby Safe Kisa opened her eyes dreamily. She could vaguely see the man¡¯s deep and affectionate gaze, which looked sincere, especially after a whole night of not sleeping and doing the deed. Kisa fell asleep again after opening her eyes for a moment. Gilbert wanted to talk to her as he thought that she was awake, but she went back to sleep again. He smiled helplessly. I wonder how tired she is.¡¯ He brushed her hair on her cheeks gently before giving her a peck on her pinkish cheek. Then, he said softly, ¡°Just sleep. I really want us to have another baby. This time, we¡¯ll raise him together without missing any part of his childhood.¡± Kisa heard what he said through her half-asleep daze. She was confused. ¡®Why did he say another baby? Have I ever got pregnant with his baby? ¡®I guess he probably said a baby, not another baby. ¡®Or I just heard him wrongly.¡¯ Kisa stopped thinking about it and fell asleeppletely because she was just too tired. Kisa slept well that night and did not even dream. After she woke up, her whole body felt sore as if she had done a day of hardbor. Suddenly, she remembered how aggressive Gilbert had beenst night as she turned to her side. Gilbert was gone. Kisa reached out and touched the other side of the bed, and it was not warm anymore. She stretched her neck. Then, she checked the time on the phone, and it was already nine o¡¯clock. She did not have a lot of scenes to shoot that day, so she could go to the set in the afternoon. She got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom. Her head hurt after looking at the non-slip mat all over the floor. Fortunately, Gilbert came back, and he would probably exin everything to Madalyn. Even though Madalyn would not believe her, she would not doubt what Gilbert said. She saw Madalyn and Gilbert sitting at the dining table after she went to the living room. One of them was reading a newspaper and the other was reading a magazine. Neither of them was talking and they looked very harmonious together. Gilbert saw Kisa as soon as she got down. ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡± He put down the magazine and went to hold her. ¡°Be careful!¡± Kisa paused and pushed his hand away. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell youst night¡­¡± ¡°Yeah, you did. You told me everything and I got it. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m not going to do anything to you these days to keep our baby safe.¡± Kisa widened her eyes as she said to Gilbert in a low voice, ¡°What are you doing? I¡¯m not¡­¡± ¡°You should have some breakfast now. I personally made it for you.¡± Gilbert helped her to the dining table gently as he spoke. Madalyn took off her sses and she finally looked at Kisa without any resentment in her eyes. However, she did not look very loving either. Her expression was just a little better than before. ¡°Come on. Eat it while it¡¯s still warm.¡± Gilbert ced the breakfast in front of her and smiled gently. She had no idea what was going on. ¡®Didn¡¯t I tell him that I¡¯m not pregnant? ¡®Not only that he didn¡¯t tell his grandmother about it, but he¡¯s even acting like I¡¯m pregnant. What¡¯s happening?¡¯ ¡°That¡¯s not going to be enough. The breakfast isn¡¯t nutritious at all. Are you trying to abuse my great- grandchild?¡± Madalyn looked at the breakfast Gilbert made for her and said disdainfully. Then, she continued, ¡°I told the maid to make some bone broth. It should be ready now. I¡¯ll go have a look.¡± She grabbed her cane and walked to the kitchen as she spoke. George saw it and hurriedly went to help her.

In that way, what we¡¯re doing right now will just be telling her about the news in advance, and not lying.¡± Kisa could not believe what he said. ¡°You¡¯re such an unscrupulous man!¡± Madalyn was already walking back to the dining table at that time, and there was a maid holding a bowl of hot bone broth behind her. Then, the maid ced it in front of Kisa. Madalyn sat opposite of her and said in a neutral tone, ¡°Tuna sandwich isn¡¯t nutritious enough for you. Finish this bowl of bone broth and my great-grandson will be very healthy.¡± Kisa did not feel like drinking something like that early in the morning. Besides, she was not pregnant at all. The way that Madalyn treated her made her feel very guilty. She ignored what Gilbert said to her and spoke to Madalyn, ¡°I¡¯m not pregnant. I¡¯ll go to the hospital and prove it to youter.¡± 2/3 Madalyn immediately arched her brows and looked at Gilbert. Gilbert rubbed his forehead without saying anything. Suddenly, Madalyn pounded the table angrily and said to Kisa, ¡°That¡¯s enough. What¡¯s the point of you keep on denying your pregnancy? Are you afraid that somebody else will take your baby away from you?! Besides, the baby belongs to Gilbert too. What can you do about it if I really did take your baby away as Gilbert¡¯s grandmother?¡± ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Gilbert said helplessly, ¡°Nobody would want a baby with me if you don¡¯t stop being so unreasonable. ¡°Hmph. Anybody who can be pregnant with your child should consider themselves lucky!¡± The words that wereing out of Madalyn¡¯s mouth became more ridiculous. Kisa¡¯s mood waspletely ruined. She pushed the bowl of bone broth away from her and said, ¡°Go ahead and find him another woman to bear his child then. I don¡¯t think I¡¯m lucky enough.¡± She stood up and walked outside without turning back after saying that. Madalyn pounded the table again and scoffed. ¡°Hmph. She¡¯s pretty short-tempered for a person who¡¯s committed so many sins!¡± ¡°Grandma!¡± Gilbert nced at her resignedly. ¡°We found out everything about what happened back then, right? She¡¯s innocent!¡± ¡°That¡¯s because you don¡¯t know the worst sin she¡¯smitted!¡± ¡°Grandma, why do you have to be so stubborn? She did nothing wrong in her life. Instead, it¡¯s me who made a huge mistake by sending her to jail without knowing the truth.¡± Gilbert did not want to spend any more time arguing with Madalyn after he saw Kisa walking out of the house. So, he got up from his seat and went after her. Madalyn got so mad, that she swung her cane on the table and knock the bowl of bone broth to the floor. ¡°He¡¯d better be ignorant of what she did forever. I wonder if he¡¯ll still be so protective over her if he ever found out about it. I¡¯m so mad!¡± George hurriedly urged her. ¡°Forget it, Ma¡¯am. It¡¯s perfectly normal for a pregnant woman to be short- tempered. Besides, Mr. Gilbert had always been protective over Ms. Kisa. There¡¯s no need for you to stoop to their level.¡± Madalyn said coldly, ¡°I would¡¯ve chased her out of my family if she acted like that without bearing my great-grandchild in her. This is absurd! How dare a sinner like her give me this kind of attitude!¡± Gilbert went right out to the front yard. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1087 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1087 Chapter 1087 Is He Not Worried? Gilbert saw Kisa going into her car and he strode in her direction. He shut the car door that was just opened by Kisa. Kisa frowned and looked at him. ¡°What are you doing? I need to go to the set now.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll drive you there.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I can get there myself.¡± Kisa pushed him away as she spoke. Gilbert stood in front of her car door shamelessly. ¡°Come on. Let me take you there.¡± Gilbert smiled as he grabbed her arm and took her to another car. Kisa turned her head and looked at him. She realized that he did not look like he cared about what she did about the contract, and he was even trying to please her. Kisa could not help but feel guilty after seeing him like that. She pursed her lips and asked, ¡°Did you settle everything during your business trip?¡± ¡°Kohen agreed to help me. I believe everything will be fine with his help. However¡­¡± Gilbert looked at her when he said that. ¡°I don¡¯t think anyone can help me again if you screw me over another time.¡± ¡°Another time?¡± An awkward smile appeared on Kisa¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯re so clever and ruthless. Would you even allow me to do the same thing again?¡± ¡®Ruthless?¡¯ Gilbert frowned as he did not like the way Kisa described him very much. ¡®How am I ruthless? I only treated her that way back then because I misunderstood her. I¡¯ll never do the same thing to her ever again now.¡¯ ¡°Gilbert, you should revoke my authority. As for Shaun, he¡¯s still the person Jensen trusts the most, after all. Could you let him stay for the sake of Jensen? There¡¯s nothing much he can do without my authority.¡± Gilbert pursed his lips tightly and kept his silence for a while before he said, ¡°I¡¯m indebted to Jensen. I would let Shaun stay even if you didn¡¯t ask. As for your authority¡­¡± The car had arrived at the set. Gilbert stopped the car and looked at her. ¡°I¡¯m not 2/3 going to do anything about it. You¡¯re entitled to it because J & K Film Group belongs to you.¡± Kisa suddenly clenched her fists tight. For some reason, she hated how well Gilbert treated her. It would make her feel very guilty if she ever wanted to take revenge on him or did anything that would hurt him. A psychological tactic like that made her feel very conflicted and distressed. She chuckled. ¡°I might just set you up again if you don¡¯t revoke my authority.¡± ¡°You won¡¯t.¡± Gilbertughed and said, looking very confident. Kisa smirked. ¡°How do you know that? It¡¯ll be a piece of cake for me to get you and GK into trouble with that much of power in hand.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not going to do it.¡± Gilbert looked into her eyes while he said that in a very firm tone. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She immediately looked away and scoffed. ¡°Just wait and see if I¡¯m going to do that again!¡± She opened the car door and got out annoyedly after saying that. Kisa felt like everything had gone into a mess. She almost exposed everything about her real intention of getting back together with him after setting him up with the contract. Besides, it was a fact that she had made GK Pictures suffer such a huge loss. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. However, Gilbert did not me her one bit for doing that, and he still trusted her. Kisa could not convince herself that Gilbert was just doing that to test her. After all, there was no need for him to treat her so well after how she exposed herself. ¡®He¡¯s basically just putting the fate of GK in my hands by doing so. How is he not worried? ¡®Could this really be his genuine intentions?¡¯ Kisa was very puzzled. She did not look back at Gilbert anymore after getting out of the car as she walked straight into the set. A group of reporters came out of nowhere and surrounded her as soon as she entered the set¡­ T 3/3 1/2 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1088 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1088 Chapter 1088 Mr. Kooper Is Afraid of His Wife? ¡°Mrs. Kooper, I heard that Mr. Kooper made his way back herest night. Did he do that because of the baby in you?¡± ¡°Mrs. Kooper, when are you going to announce this good news now that Mr. Kooper has returned?¡± The reporters scrambled among each other to throw her all kinds of questions. Kisa took two steps back. Then, she looked at Gilbert¡¯s car behind her and said to the reporters with a smile. ¡°Mr. Kooper is still in the car, you guys should ask him directly if you have any questions. I need to get to work. Please let me through.¡± The reporters rushed to Gilbert¡¯s car and surrounded it after hearing what Kisa said. Kisa lifted the corner of her mouth. ¡®Gilbert is going to be fully responsible for the oue regardless of what he says to the reporters.¡¯ Gilbert only got out of the car slowly after watching Kisa go into the set. ¡°Mr. Kooper, is Mrs. Kooper pregnant with your baby? When is the baby due?¡± Gilbert ced his finger in front of his lips and said mysteriously. ¡°Shh. Stop asking me about it. She wouldn¡¯t let me tell anybody anything!¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± The reporters had their eyes wide open. ¡®Mr. Kooper is actually afraid of his wife.¡¯ ¡°My wife hasn¡¯t been in her best health recently, and I hope that you can avoid standing in her way like that again.

I really can¡¯t tell you that!¡± In the Risen Enterprise CEO¡¯s office, Jensen was looking at the monitor in the quietly. The screen was ying a live broadcast of what was happening outside the set. 2/2 His face was emotionless, and no one could tell what he was thinking. Mia pursed her lips and said to him, ¡°Actually, what if Kisa is pregnant with Gilbert¡¯s baby now? After all, they already have three children together.¡± ¡°However, the existence of this baby will wear down Kisa hatred toward Gilbert. Kisa did not feel like taking revenge on him anymore, and this baby is just going to give her another reason not to do it.¡± Shaun said softly from the side of the room. Mia scoffed. ¡°Let¡¯s not force her if she doesn¡¯t want to do that then. We can take over GK just as easily without her.¡± She did not know why Jensen wanted to take GK away from Gilbert after he woke Jensen had changed completely after that ident. Jensen held a ss of water up silently as he lightly tapped the edge of the ss with his slender fingers. Then, he said softly with a smile, ¡°What if she lost the baby because of Gilbert?¡± The look on Mia¡¯s face changed. ¡°Jensen, what¡­¡± Jensen lifted his gaze and looked at her. ¡°Why are you so scared? I was just joking.¡± He stood up after saying that. His body which used to look so big looked very skinny now. ¡°Jensen¡­¡± Mia stopped him as she saw him leaving the room. ¡°Why don¡¯t we just get over this and go back to Raworth? We¡¯ll have more money than we could ever spend even though we give up on GK, J & K Film Group, and thispany. Let¡¯s just stop tangling with them, okay?¡± Jensen turned around slowly to look at her before he smiled faintly and said, ¡°Things are different now. It can¡¯t be the same anymore. There¡¯s no way.¡± ¡°Why not? What exactly happened? Would you just tell me about it?¡± Mia looked at him and spoke as if she was begging him. However, Jensen only shook his head and walked out coldly. Mia staggered backward. She could clearly feel that something was wrong with that ident that turned Jensen into a completely different person. But Jensen just would not say a thing about it. Mia saw Shaun following Jensen. She frowned and stopped him¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1089 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1089 Chapter 1089 Merciful ¡°You heard what he said too, right? He was only joking about making Kisa lose her baby. You¡¯d better not try anything!¡± Shaun chuckled scornfully. ¡°Ms. Mia, when have you be so merciful? You¡¯re worrying for your enemy!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not worried about him. I just don¡¯t want him to do something he¡¯ll regret in the future.¡± Jensen was the person Mia cared about the most. She was afraid that the man would be blinded by his emotions and did something irreparable just to suffer the consequences himself. ¡°Hmph!¡± Shaun scoffed. ¡°Mr. Kooper has never once regretted anything in so many years. You¡¯d better not spoil his n even though you don¡¯t want to help him ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell you what. You¡¯d better not try to do anything to Kisa¡¯s baby too. Otherwise, your boss is going to be the one suffering the most!¡± Shaun smiled nomittally. Then, he turned around and walked out of the room. Mia slumped in a chair wearily. She had no idea how things became like this. Kisa was the woman he loved the most. However, he still did not hesitate to turn against her. Jensen became so heartless to Mia, that she was terrified and felt like she did not recognize him anymore. She suddenly realized that she preferred the version of Jensen who used to always think about Kisa over this ruthless version of him. On the set, Kisa was getting prepared for a wire stunt. The director hurriedly ran to her. ¡°Q¨Cquick¡­ put her down!¡± The crew pulled down the wire, puzzled. Kisa stood on the ground and looked at the director confusedly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are there any changes to the script?¡± The male lead was supposed to hold her and flew away for some distance while fighting the viin in this scene, so there was no other way to film it other than with her hanging in the air with wire. ¡°No, but you can¡¯t be on this thing,¡± the director said while signaling the crew to hold her arms. Kisa had no idea what was happening. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Are you seriously asking me that? Your husband has made it clear for me to look after you in the set. I must make sure that nothing happens to you here. I¡¯m so forgetful. How could I forget that you¡¯re pregnant with Mr. Kooper¡¯s baby?¡± Kisa suddenly awkward. ¡°I¡¯m not.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. Having a baby isn¡¯t something to be ashamed of. There¡¯s no need for you to hide it. Besides, you¡¯re already married.¡± The director spoke while signaling the crew to help her to rest at the side. ¡°I¡¯ll just get a stunt double to rece you for this scene. Besides, everything will be fine since you don¡¯t have a lot of scenes like this to shoot anyway. This is a special asion, right?¡± ¡°Hey, listen to me.

Now everybody in the world thinks that I¡¯m pregnant with Gilbert¡¯s child.¡® Adrien and Peter were sitting in the visiting area not far away from Kisa.

It¡¯s nothing surprising since they¡¯re married anyway.¡± Peter said unconcernedly and his deep gaze had never left Jolina. Adrien squinted as a cold look appeared on his face. ¡®If Kisa is really bearing Gilbert¡¯s baby, my n is going to bepletely ruined.¡¯ He had done so many things just to spark the hatred inside Kisa, so that she could destroy Gilbert for him. Then, to make both of their lives utterly miserable. he was going to tell everybody about the truth, including how Gilbert¡¯s parents had died. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1090 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1090 Chapter 1090 Looking Forward to Us Bing A Family Such an act of revenge would have been even more exciting if he had dealt with them both himself. But now, because of the appearance of this child, Kisa would not be able to go all out against Gilbert. So, he stared at Kisa¡¯s belly with an icy look in his eyes. ¡°Uncle Adrien.¡± Peter suddenly called out to him. Adrien¡¯s face changed, and the icy look in his eyes vanished with an avuncr smile in its ce. What is it?¡± Adrien looked at him. Peter said, somewhat annoyed with a cigarette in his mouth, ¡°I might have to go back to Oceanville after some time. Would you like to join me and meet my father? It seems like you guys haven¡¯t seen each other for quite a while.¡± Back to Oceanville?¡± Adrien thought for a moment and asked, ¡°When?¡± Peter nced at Jolina and said, ¡°After you wrap up this drama.¡± ¡°Not anytime soon. That is going to take twenty days or so.¡± So, do you want toe along?¡± ¡®I will have to see, then.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± With that, Peter stubbed out his cigarette and headed toward Jolina. Adrien watched on and shook his head helplessly as Peter went. ¡®It¡¯s just a woman. Why make yourself so miserable? he thought to himself. Suddenly, Sharon came toward him. ¡°Uncle Adrien, are you thirsty? Here, have a drink. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Sharon handed a bottle of drink to Adrien with a beguiling face. Adrien smiled at her. ¡°Have you finished filming today?¡± There¡¯s one more scene, and right now, it¡¯s an intermission,¡± Sharon said. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you spending time with my mom today? It¡¯s so boring in the studio.¡± Adrien deliberately let out an avuncr smile. ¡°Your mom is busy fighting with your father over the properties. She is too busy to care about me,¡± he said. Something came to mind, and he continued, ¡°The fact is I can take care of your mom. But, she has a big ego. She insisted on getting more money for herself beforeing to me. She said she didn¡¯t want me to think less of her. Don¡¯t you think she is silly? I like her for her, not her money. Besides, Ick everything but money. She may not be able to win against your father.¡± Sharon was secretly delighted upon hearing that, thinking that her mother had sessfully charmed Adrien, and he would soon be her stepfather. So, she thought she had to show some sincerity in front of him, too. After all, he had no children, and his property would be hers, eventually. With that in mind, she said, ¡°I owned 30% of The Case Group¡¯s shares, my mom 15%, my father 40%, and several executives of thepany own the remaining 15%. Since Uncle Adrien is sincere to my mother, then mom and I will also express our sincerity to you. The day you and my mother get married, I will give my shares in The Case Group to you, and I hope that you will treat my mom with respect.¡± ¡°Come on, what is the point of giving me such a gift? Why are you just like your mom? I give you my word; I will marry your mom, but only after she and your dad get a divorce.¡± ¡°I understand. My mom has also been working on the divorce with my dad, and it won¡¯t take long.¡± ¡°Ha¨Cha, that¡¯s good. I¡¯m really looking forward to us bing a family.¡± Adrien smiled at her dotingly. Sharon was getting more and more ttered. She thought that with Adrien backing her up, she would regain her fame in the entertainment industry. Adrien looked at her and nced at Kisa¡¯s belly with a sh of malicious look in his eyes. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1091 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1091 Chapter 1091 So What If She¡¯s Pregnant? Adrien cleared his throat and called out to Sharon. Sharon was about to leave when she heard his call. So, she smiled at him ingratiatingly. ¡°What¡¯s up, Uncle Adrien?¡± ¡°Nothing. I just wanted to ask you, is it really impossible for you and Gilbert to be together again?¡± She felt indignant and humiliated at the mention of this, and her resentment toward Kisa also rose instantly. Not wanting to lose face in front of Adrien, she resentfully said, ¡°It¡¯s all because of Kisa. At first, Gilbert and I were a match made in heaven. Even the media looked forward to it. But, ever since that woman appeared, everything changed. I hate to think of this. It¡¯s that woman who stole Gilbert from me. ¡°That is really a bit of a shame.¡± Sharon felt even more sorry for herself when she heard what Adrien had said. ¡°Really, Gilbert treated me the best at that time. No matter what I did wrong, he never punished me. I was all he cared about. If Kisa hadn¡¯t shown up, I would have been the wife of GK¡¯s CEO.¡± ¡°That¡¯s really a shame.¡± Adrien pretended to be sorry. ¡°I heard rumors about you and Gilbert when I was abroad, and I thought you guys were going to be a couple. If we were to be a family, then the entire entertainment industry would be ours.¡± ¡°Exactly. I just hate to think of Kisa!¡± Sharon felt even more sorry for herself and hated Kisa even more, the more Adrien talked about it. Adrien nced at her. ¡°Don¡¯t be too angry. I¡¯m just saying. After all, Kisa is already pregnant with Mr. Kooper¡¯s child. So, we can only dream about what we just said. In fact, Kisa is very lucky. Look how considerate Mr. Kooper is. He even told the director to take care of her.¡± Sharon stared icily at Kisa, who was resting on the recliner. Her eyes were filled with intense hatred. She gritted her teeth and gruffly said, ¡°So what if she¡¯s pregnant? It is still up in the air if she can give birth to the child.¡± Adrien snickered but concurred, ¡°Yeah, there are too many risk factors now. idents happen every day.¡± ¡°Absolutely,¡± Sharon sneered, and a glimmer of viciousness shed in her eyes. She had made a mistake in the beginning by letting Andrew and Ada live. Now, she would never make the same mistake of letting this child live. Peter stood in front of Jolina for a long time, but Jolina did not seem to notice him. She just looked down at her phone. Peter clenched his hands at his sides and said to her, ¡°I¡¯m going back to Oceanville.¡± ¡°Mhm.¡± Jolina responded indifferently, not even looking up. Peter added, ¡°If you are willing to go with me, I-¡± ¡°I¡¯m not willing to.¡± Only then did Jolina look up at him. ¡°You don¡¯t have to say anything. I¡¯m not going back to Oceanville with you.¡± N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. ¡°Why? Isn¡¯t your home in Oceanville too?¡± ¡°It¡¯s your home that is in Oceanville. My home is just in a quiet little vige. Even if I were to go back, it wouldn¡¯t be with you.¡± Peter¡¯s face sank. His hands clenched tightly at his sides, and his muscles tensed up as if he would punch her at any moment. Jolina ignored him again, stood up, and headed to Kisa. Peter gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do about it. He just wanted to take her back to see his family, but she would not agree to it. Just as Jolina came closer to Kisa, she saw Sharon standing behind Kisa¡¯s recliner, seemingly up to no good. She frowned. Not having time to worry, she rushed over and yelled at Sharon, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1092 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1092 Chapter 1092 Ma¡¯am Kisa was dozing off when Jolina¡¯s bellow woke her up. The recliner that she was lying on seemed to have some kind of malfunction. It was as if one of the recliner¡¯s legs was broken as it tilted toward one side. Jolina¡¯s face changed, and she rushed over. Fortunately, Kisa was already awake and quick to react. She reached out and braced herself on the ground to prevent herself from falling. Jolina rushed over to help her. ¡°Kisa, are you all right?¡± she asked, anxiously checking Kisa¡¯s tummy. Kisa did not even bother to exin because no one believed her. So, she just replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Thank goodness you shouted just now. Otherwise, I would have fallen off the chair, not knowing what happened.¡± The director heard the noise and also hurriedly ran over. He was even more anxious than Jolina was. ¡°Are you all right, Ma¡¯am?¡± Kisaughed after hearing the director calling her Ma¡¯am and shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°How can I not be worried?¡± The director cried, ¡°If anything happens to you and the baby in your womb, Mr. Kooper will kill me. How about this, you don¡¯t have toe to the studio tomorrow? I will use a stunt double for the rest of the scene.¡± ¡°No. Doing this will ruin my reputation,¡± Kisa quickly said. After all, she was not pregnant in the first ce. ¡°What if something happens to you in the studio?¡± ¡°Nothing will happen. I will talk to Gilbert about it. Whatever goes wrong with me, you have nothing to do with it, and he won¡¯t me you,¡± she said, secretly peeved? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. because all this misunderstanding was Gilbert¡¯s fault. While the director still hesitated, Kisa changed the subject and asked, ¡°What is wrong with this chair? Is it getting old? Looks like it needs to be reced.¡± Sharon was quietly walking away when Jolina pointed at her and said to the director and Kisa, ¡°It was her. I saw her standing behind the chair when it tipped over. Who knows what she has done?¡± The director grimaced when he saw that it was Sharon. In the past, he could still lecture Sharon and show her who the boss was when she had not yet be connected with Adrien. But now, he could not afford to offend her. So, the director said nothing and just silently looked at Kisa. Kisa also said nothing. She first squatted down to look at the chair, which was simply a folder recliner. Someone had pushed the button on one leg, causing the recliner to tilt over. Since Jolina said that it was Sharon who was behind her chair, Sharon must have been the one who did it. ¡®Heh, she knows she could never be with Gilbert, but she still doesn¡¯t give up and even wants to kill the ¡®baby¡® in my womb. Luckily, I¡¯m not really pregnant. Otherwise, I would have to be on guard against this woman all the time.¡® ¡°Don¡¯t frame me for this. I was just standing behind her for a while. What does that even prove?¡± Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Sharon started to be defensive. Her voice was particrly arrogant and biting. ¡°But earlier, it was just you-¡± *Just what about me? Did you see me tamper with her chair with your own eyes?¡± Sharon red at Jolina, and her voice was getting snarlier. Not far away, Peter also saw it. But, he was still angry at Jolina and would not intervene as long as no one bullied her. Jolina was about to say something when Kisa suddenly stood up and walked over to Sharon. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1093 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1093 Chapter 1093 Mind Your Words Perhaps because Kisa¡¯s gaze was too sharp, or maybe she was just being paranoid, Sharon involuntarily stepped back. ¡°Why are you staring at me like that? There is no proof, and you can¡¯t do anything to me, can you?¡± She snorted and subconsciously nced toward the visitation area. She panicked when she found that Adrien had left. As Kisa approached her, she knitted her brows and yelled, ¡°What do you want? Don¡¯t even think about touching me when you have no proof.¡± Kisa giggled when she saw her nervous reaction. She looked at Sharon absently and said, ¡°When did you be so timid? Did I say I was going to do something to you? Look how scared you are.¡± Snickers rang out all around. Sharon flushed and grunted, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of you.¡± ¡°Oh yeah? Then, why are you backing up?¡± Sharon stammered, ¡°I¨CI¡¯m just afraid that you are going to frame me.¡± ¡°Oh, we are all reasonable people. Since you have exined yourself clearly, we won¡¯t me you. I¡¯m really sorry for the misunderstanding.¡± It startled Sharon when she heard Kisa apologize. Then, she grinned with a sense of spite. ¡°Exactly. There must be proof to back up every usation. Some people only talk crap when they open their mouths. What¡¯s the point of keeping such people on the team?¡± Jolina lowered her head and pursed her lips without saying a word. She could not understand why Kisa had to apologize to Sharon. Although she had no proof, anyone with good sense could guess that it was Sharon who sabotaged the chair. Kisa looked at Sharon with a sneer. Just as she was about to say something, a stern voice rang out. ¡°It¡¯s not up to you to decide whether to keep these people.¡± Peter suddenly came out of nowhere and put his arm around Jolina¡¯s shoulders. At first, he thought of not intervening, but when he saw them bullying Jolina, he could not help bute over. Sharon frowned and thought, ¡®This Peter is really everywhere!¡® With her rtionship with Adrien, she was not supposed to be afraid of Peter. But, Adrien and Peter seemed very close to each other, and she needed to impress Adrien. So, she figured she must not offend Peter. Otherwise, he would speak ill of her in front of Adrien. ¡°Of course it¡¯s not up to me. But, she¡¯ll bring trouble to herself if she doesn¡¯t mind her words. Peter, you have to look after your woman,¡± she said. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, and I don¡¯t need your advice,¡± Peter said, shooting a re at Kisa at the same time. He was not too happy about Kisa¡¯s apology to Sharon when Jolina was trying to help her. Her apology was no different from a p in the face to Jolina.¡® What an ingrate!¡® he said in his mind. Seeing Peter ring at Kisa with hatred, Sharon smirked and said, ¡°Thanks to my sister¡¯s wisdom, not only did she not listen to what your woman said, but she also apologized to me. Otherwise, your woman would have sessfully framed me.¡± Peter did not give a damn but grunted and brought Jolina away. ¡°Even though there is no evidence this time, if I catch you in the act next time, you won¡¯t get away with it,¡± Kisa said, thinking that since Sharon had wanted to kill the ¡® child¡® in her womb, she was certain that there would surely be a next time. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1094 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1094 Chapter 1094 Kill You and Your Baby ¡°Heh. Then, you will have to keep your eyes open to see if you can catch me red- handed.¡± ¡°Well, I will, and we will see.¡± Kisa shot Sharon a meaningful smile before heading toward Peter and Jolina. Sharon stared at Kisa with grim eyes as she went. ¡®We will see. Sooner orter, I will kill you and your baby,¡® she said in her mind. ¡°Why are you so nosy and trying to help that woman? She didn¡¯t even appreciate your kindness, and she stood on Sharon¡¯s side. Don¡¯t hang out with such an ingrate next time.¡± Jolina did not want to listen to Peter¡¯s nagging, so she turned around and left. Peter cursed in exasperation. He caught up to her and grabbed her by the arm. What the hell do you mean by that? I was the one who defended you.¡± ¡°Oh, thank you, then,¡± Jolina said with an expressionless face. He got even angrier. Just then, Kisa came over, and he red at her with fiery eyes.¡® How dare you come here? My Jolina was trying to help you, but you stood on Sharon¡¯s side. Who do you think my Jolina is to you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough. Stop it.¡± Jolina pushed Peter away, feeling frustrated. ¡®What does he mean by his Jolina?¡® She hated the tone of his voice and the things he said. Kisa looked at Jolina, and Jolina reached out to take Kisa¡¯s hand.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Peter tried to stop her, but Jolina shot him a look, then went over to Kisa and took her arm. ¡°Let¡¯s go over there and talk.¡± Kisa nodded her head. She nced at Peter with mixed emotions before following Jolina to a quiet corner. Peter clenched his hands at his sides, feeling indignant with a tinge of indescribable bitterness. Because of that night, Jolina had never smiled at him again. It was because of that incident that they drifted further and further apart. He had done everything to please her, to make up for her, and to beg her, but she remained as indifferent to him like a stranger. Later, he became so fed up that he started to use force and even mistreated her. But, she still showed him no emotion other than indifference and disgust. Such a sense of powerlessness almost drove him crazy. He stared sullenly at Jolina standing in the corner for a long time before turning around and leaving in a huff. Kisa nced at Peter as he left and asked Jolina, ¡°How are you and Peter doing?¡± ¡°It¡¯s still the same. In fact, I would prefer to forget about the past. I really hope he won¡¯te looking for me again,¡± Jolina said faintly. Kisa pursed her lips, as she decided not to speak up for Peter. Not wanting to talk about herself either, Jolina asked Kisa, ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re okay? Do you feel difort in your tummy?¡± Kisa shook her head andughed. ¡°I¡¯m fine. By the way, weren¡¯t you mad at me when I apologized to Sharon?¡± Jolina shook her head. ¡°Of course not. I just don¡¯t understand it. It was clear that she was the one who was trying to harm you.¡± ¡°I know it¡¯s her. But, without definitive proof, there is not much we can do about her.¡± ¡°Then, should she be tolerated like this all the time? Wouldn¡¯t she act with impunity, then?¡± ¡°She won¡¯t.¡± Kisa sneered. ¡°She will still try to harm the ¡®child¡® in my womb. But, when the timees, she will be punished for what she deserves.¡± ¡°Then, isn¡¯t the baby in your belly in danger?¡± Jolina was still worried. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s fine because I¡¯m not pregnant at all.¡± ¡°What?¡± Christopher suddenly came out of nowhere. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1095 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1095 Chapter 1095 Using Her to Benefit Himself The voice startled Kisa and Jolina. Kisa frowned at Christopher, who suddenly showed up. He hardly ever came to the studio, so Kisa wondered if he was here to visit Sharon. ¡°Didn¡¯t the news report say that you were pregnant with Mr. Kooper¡¯s child? Why are you now saying you¡¯re not pregnant?¡± Seeing Christopher¡¯s excited and nervous look, Kisa sneered in her mind, ¡®He is not trying to use my rtionship with Gilbert to benefit himself, is he?¡¯ She heard that Christopher¡¯s recent divorce case with Carolyn was in full swing, and the legal battle was bing a source of gossip in Calthon. He used to hate Kisa as his daughter and broke ties with her. But now, he was trying to butter her up, so Kisa found it ironic. While she was lost in thought, Christopher suddenly tugged on her arm and anxiously asked, ¡°Tell me the truth. Are you pregnant with Mr. Kooper¡¯s child?¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Kisa sneered at him. ¡°Does it matter if I¡¯m carrying his child?¡± ¡°Of course it matters. If you¡¯re pregnant with his child, your child will inherit the Kooper family¡¯s fortune in the future, and I, as a grandfather, can also benefit from it. Kisa scoffed. ¡°Dad, have you forgotten that Gilbert has other children? This child of mine isn¡¯t entitled to inherit anything.¡± ¡°They are different. Those two children don¡¯t even have a mother, but yours is different. You, as a mother, can fight for him.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Kisa cut him off as she hated him for saying that the two children did not have a mother. Seeing Kisa¡¯s resentful face, Christopher pursed his lips and toned down his ambitious voice, as he asked her in a whisper, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about other things. Just tell me, are you-¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m pregnant,¡± Kisa said. Jolina looked at Kisa in surprise, as she was now confused if Kisa was really pregnant. Kisa smiled at Christopher and said, ¡°I¡¯m really carrying Gilbert¡¯s child.¡± She had to wait for Sharon to harm her ¡®baby¡®, so she could not let Christopher know the truth that she was not pregnant. Christopher was overjoyed, and his eyes were almost glowing when he looked at her tummy. ¡°Good to know. That makes me the grandfather of Gilbert¡¯s child.¡± Kisa snickered. ¡°Dad, you have probably forgotten that you have severed your ties with me.¡® ¡± Christopher¡¯s expression changed subtly, as a touch of embarrassment and remorse shed across his face. ¡°It is the stupidest thing I have ever done. No matter what, you are my most loving and understanding daughter.¡± Kisaughed sarcastically. ¡°If Sharon had heard this, she would have been mad. Speaking of which, you are here today to visit Sharon, aren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°No, I came all the way here to see you today. I also brought a lot of supplements in the car. You can bring it backter when you go home.¡± ¡°Thanks, but no thanks.¡± Kisa felt ironic that Christopher really came for the child. She looked at Christopher indifferently. ¡°The Kooper family reallycks nothing. You better take it back and consume it yourself. You need it more than I do. You have lost a lot of weight. Is it because of Carolyn?¡± Speaking of Carolyn, Christopher was even more remorseful. ¡°I should have known better. I shouldn¡¯t have divorced your mother.

His expression changed, and he spun around quickly. ¡°Sharon? What are you doing here?¡± This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Heh, I¡¯m in the studio all the time. Isn¡¯t it normal for me toe over? Meanwhile, you came to the studio and bad-mouthed my mother. When you were in love with her, everything about her was good in your eyes. You even kicked this woman¡¯s b*tchy mother out for her sake. Now that you¡¯re not as good as others and can¡¯t keep my mother in love with you, you speak ill about her in front of others. I have never seen a man who is such a loser and useless as you are.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough, Sharon. I¡¯m your father.¡± Christopher¡¯s face turned red. ¡°Don¡¯t assume that Adrien has sincere feelings for your mom. Look at the way your mom behaves now. Will a man as attractive as Adrien take a liking to your mom? Wake up and get on with your life.¡± ¡°Heh, just wait and see how Mr. Tanner spoils me and my mom. As for you¡­¡± Sharon nced at Kisa¡¯s tummy and sneered, ¡°You can only use that little b*stard in her tummy to connect with the Kooper family. The point is, it¡¯s still uncertain if you could make it. Compared to Mr. Tanner, you are not even close.¡± ¡°Sharon,¡± Christopher shouted in rage, raising his hand to p Sharon, but his hand stopped mid-air as he could not bring himself to hit her. Kisa sneered at the sight of that and thought to herself, ¡®If it were me, he would have already pped me. Since I was a child, he showed no mercy in beating me. Yet, he pampered Sharon. The only thing is that Sharon now despises him and is only interested in having Adrien as her father. How ironic!¡¯ Kisa brought Jolina away, as she did not bother to watch the father and daughter argue. Christopher opened his mouth, wanting to stop Kisa. But, seeing Sharon¡¯s angry face, he held back. After Kisa left, he said to Sharon, ¡°You misunderstood me. Building a connection with the Kooper family isn¡¯t for me, but for you and your mom. When I be the grandfather of Gilbert¡¯s child, my status in the business world will be no less prominent than Adrien¡¯s. So, why do you need to suck up to Adrien? Besides, it¡¯s still unclear whether he is sincere to you and your mom. Sharon, help me dissuade your mother from divorcing me. Otherwise, I will be aughing stock in Calthon.¡± Sharon sneered. ¡°You¡¯re already aughing stock.¡± With that, she walked away without looking back, leaving Christopher stomping his feet in exasperation. Kisa watched from afar and was sad to see Christopher¡¯s current situation. ¡®If my mom was still alive and saw Christophering to such an end, she would¡¯ve probablyughed out loud.¡¯ After work, Kisa nned to visit Lea, who she had not been able to contact since she left the hospital that day. Whenever she called Lea, her phone was either off or no one answered, which worried her. After leaving the studio, Kisa drove straight to Lea¡¯s ce. Just as she reached Lea¡¯s apartment, she saw a man walking out of the lobby with a woman in his arms. She recognized the woman as Lea right away. The man wore a mask, so she could not see his face. Seeing that Lea and the man got into a car and left, Kisa hurriedly started the car and followed them. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1097 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1097 Chapter 1097 Low-born In a high-end restaurant, Anthony nced at Lea¡¯s sad face and grunted in disgust, ¡°I have taken the time toe out and have a meal with you, so don¡¯t look so glum in front of me, okay?¡± ¡°I-I¡¯m sorry.¡± Lea bowed her head, forcing a smile onto her pale face. Anthony looked askance at her, feeling annoyed, as Lea had been strange in the past two days and would not allow him to touch her. If he did, she would look as if someone was trying to hurt her. Upset, he took out a cigarette and was about to smoke. Lea suddenly whispered to him, ¡°It¡¯s better not to smoke. Smoking is not allowed here. ¡°Heh, you think I¡¯m afraid of them? I can buy ten restaurants like this at once. Who dares to tell me to put out my cigarette?¡± he said in a huff. Lea knitted her eyebrows, feeling a bit nauseous, but she was afraid to say anything. The smell of smoke kept wafting over, causing her stomach to churn. But, due to the fear of Anthony¡¯s displeasure, she fought back the difort. Seeing that she had not touched the food in front of her, Anthony said, ¡°Eat up and gain some weight. You¡¯re too thin.¡± Lea pursed her lips, picked up her cutlery, and was about to cut the steak when the smell of smoke and the ck pepper of the steak hit her nostrils. She could not stand it any longer and hurriedly stood up, covering her mouth. ¡°Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom,¡± she said and then ran toward the lavatory. Anthony stared at her back in disgust. ¡®What a buzzkill!¡¯ ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Kisa sat in a quiet corner, far from Lea¡¯s table. The man was sitting with his back to her, so she could not determine who the man was. But, looking from behind, she found that he looked familiar. While she was thinking about changing her position so that she could take a good look at the man from the front, the man suddenly looked back to her. Kisa panicked. She hurriedly lowered her head and stirred the coffee in front of her. She was wearing a mask and a hat, so she thought he would not recognize her. Kisa then raised her head a little and took a sideways nce at him. It shocked her when she found out that it was Anthony, which meant the baby that Lea carried belonged to Anthony. She could not believe Lea and Anthony were together. ¡®Is Anthony using Lea to get to me?¡¯ she asked in her mind. Lea came back from the restroom at that moment. Kisa saw that Lea¡¯s face was paler than earlier, and the way she looked at Anthony was even a little beguiling and fearful. Kisa¡¯s heart sank, thinking that Lea could not really be in love with Anthony. Besides, a womanizer like Anthony would never settle for just one woman. Kisa frowned as a strong sense of worry rose within her. Lea sat back in her chair and whispered to Anthony, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I may have eaten something bad. My stomach hasn¡¯t been feeling well.¡± ¡°Go see a doctor if you don¡¯t feel well. Whose appetite are you trying to spoil by throwing up like that?¡± Anthony grunted, and there was always a glint of dislike in his eyes when he looked at her. Lea lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and was silent again. Anthony hated her for her subservient, low-born look. He exhaled a ring of smoke and snorted, ¡°Eat up. Leave if you don¡¯t feel like eating.¡± Lea clenched her hands and whispered, ¡± T-Then, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°This is so distasteful. Don¡¯t ask me to take you out for a meal next time.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1098 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1098 Chapter 1098 To Find Other Women, of Course Anthony growled in annoyance, got up, and walked out of the restaurant. Lea nced at him as he left, and then she got up to follow him. Kisa also followed them out of the restaurant. Back downstairs at Lea¡¯s apartment, Kisa parked her car near an out-of-the-way flower bed that was several dozen feet away from Anthony¡¯s car. Anthony did not park his car in the designated parking lot. So, Kisa knew he would leave after dropping Lea off. She waited quietly in the car, as she wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lea afterward. Anthony was smoking as he spoke to Lea. ¡°Since Kisa has given you a day off, you should stay home and not move around in the meantime. When the timees, I will take you back to Athadale.¡± Lea tugged at the corner of her dress and cautiously asked, ¡°Why are you taking me to Athadale now that I¡¯m no longer of any use to you?¡± Anthony frowned, seemingly annoyed. ¡°When I tell you to go, just go. What¡¯s with the nonsense?¡± Lea pursed her lips and asked no more. She knew this was Anthony. She had to obey him without question. Anthony tugged on his tie and grunted, ¡°Get out of the car. I won¡¯t be going up to your house.¡± Lea took her handbag. She opened her mouth several times before she mustered the courage to ask him, ¡°W-Where are you going?¡± ¡°Heh, to find other women, of course. I just can¡¯t bear to see your miserable face all day long.¡± Lea felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she said nothing more. She just took her handbag and quietly got out of the car. Anthony nced at her, feeling inexplicably irritated. He then started the car, turned it around, and sped off. Lea watched on as he went. She only turned around and headed for the first-floor lobby after his car disappeared from sight. She thought of going to a ce where no one knew her and giving birth safely. But, she still could not bring herself to leave that man. No matter how badly the man treated her, the love she had for him never changed. She knew the man did not remember that he had once saved a girl in the bar, and that girl was her. She was dragging herself into the lobby when suddenly, a calling from behind startled her. Kisa stared at Lea, who froze in ce. ¡°Let¡¯s talk.¡± In a small roadside restaurant, Lea was eating a bowl of ramen with gusto. Kisa looked at her and smiled. ¡°If you like it, have some more. You are having severe morning sickness in your early pregnancy, so eat whatever you can. Otherwise, the baby can¡¯t get enough nutrition. By the way, I¡¯ve been following you the whole time.¡± This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Lea froze. She swallowed the ramen in her mouth and looked at her with a miserable expression. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have kept it from you for so long.¡± Kisa looked at her in bewilderment. ¡°Why? Why would you be with a man like Anthony, a womanizer and pervert? Did he approach you deliberately? Or, did he force you or threaten you?¡± ¡°No, none of that.¡± Lea shook her head hurriedly.¡± He approached me first, and I was with him willingly.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Kisa asked sadly. Just like what she had expected, Lea was truly in love with Anthony. ¡°Because he saved my life,¡± Lea choked out. ¡°When I was neen, a group of guys bullied me in a bar, and he saved me. If it wasn¡¯t for him, you couldn¡¯t even imagine what would have happened to me.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1099 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1099 Chapter 1099 You Treat Him Like He¡¯s A God Kisa pursed her lips and did not make a sound. She did not expect that a man as aggressive and vicious as Anthony would help a woman he did not know. She and Lea had not met yet when that incident happened. ¡°You know what? He was there like a God from heaven, scaring away the bad guys with just one word and telling me not to cry. He said if anyone bullied me again, I could just drop his name: Anthony Mullen. Anthony¡­ Anthony¡­ The name I will never forget,¡± Lea said, suddenly giggling at Kisa. ¡°Just because of his name, I never got bullied again during those years in that bar.¡± Kisa felt sad when she heard what Lea said. She could tell that Lea really loved Anthony, but the way Anthony treated Lea was anything but love. She saw it all at the restaurant just now. Kisa looked at Lea sadly. ¡°You treat him like he¡¯s a God, but what about him? Does he love you?¡± Lea shook her head. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. What matters is that I was with him. Ever since I caught a glimpse of him when I was 19, he has been the only one in my heart and mind. I never dreamed that one day he woulde to me. It¡¯s just that he seems to have forgotten me, or maybe he has never remembered me. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Lea lowered her eyes but could hardly hide the sadness in her voice. Kisa looked away, taking a breath of distress. ¡°He reached out to you and asked you to do something for him, right?¡± Lea¡¯s expression changed. She bit her lower lip and said with a guilty look on her face, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Kisa. I did many wrong things to you. I don¡¯t expect you to forgive me. I just hope we can continue to be friends.¡± ¡°So, are you willing to leave him for me?¡± Kisa stared at her. Lea shook her head with barely any hesitation. ¡°I can¡¯t leave him.¡± Kisa took a deep breath. ¡°Then, there is nothing more to say. Do you think we can still be friends after you betrayed me and harmed me for him?¡± ¡°Kisa.¡± Lea pulled at her anxiously, as tears rolled down her face. ¡°You are my best friend. I¡¯m sorry, I¡­ ¡°So, can you tell me what Anthony made you do? Or, what have you done for Anthony to harm me?¡± Lea had been concealing herself extremely well in front of her, not even doing anything extraneous. So, Kisa had no way of knowing what Lea had actually done to her. But, whatever she asked, Lea just shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Kisa. I can¡¯t tell you.¡± Kisa lowered her eyes and drew her hand back. Kisa pursed her lips and then whispered, ¡°He approached you and probably just wanted to use you to go after me. He may not love you at all. So, I¡¯m asking you again, do you really refuse to leave him?¡± Lea shook her head with no hesitation, just as she did earlier. ¡°I can¡¯t leave him.¡± ¡°Well then,¡± Kisa smiled with disappointment. She gazed at Lea¡¯s pale cheeks and reddened eyes and slowly said, ¡°Then, we aren¡¯t friends anymore.¡± ¡°Kisa¡­¡± ¡°I have things to do. I¡¯m leaving now. You can go home by yourself after you¡¯re done eating, since it is not far from where you live. It¡¯s just a short distance,¡± Kisa said, standing up and walking off. As she was leaving, Lea called out to her. Kisa had a moment of hesitation. She thought that Lea had realized that Anthony was not the right man for her. She did not expect Lea to talk about something else.

Kisa smiled self-deprecatingly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. From now on, your business is none of my business. I will mention it to no one.¡± With that, she walked outside without looking back. The ss door reflected Lea¡¯s sad and crying face. Such is love in the world-it is not always possible to have both love and friendship. Since Lea had chosen love, she had to sacrifice her friendship with Kisa. After breaking off their friendship, she would not feel too bad when Anthony made her hurt Kisa next time. When Kisa came out of the restaurant, she felt terribly sad. She suddenly remembered the time in Kerrona Hill, where Lea asked her to see the snow and almost got her killed on the snowy mountain. ¡®It must be Anthony who asked Lea to do that. She didn¡¯t expect that by doing so, it could have killed me, did she?¡¯ Kisa had once suspected Lea because of that incident, but she did not expect that Lea was working for Anthony. Apart from the Kerrona Hill incident, she had no idea what else Lea had done to her. Lea divulged nothing when she asked, and it seemed that Lea was very faithful to Anthony. It was dark when she arrived back at the Kooper residence,pletely exhausted. Kisa had just gotten out of the car when someone suddenly approached her. She looked up and saw that it was Gilbert. ¡°Where the hell have you been? You didn¡¯t answer the phone, and I went to the studio to look for you, but you weren¡¯t there. The next time you disappear like this again, I¡¯ll really get angry,¡± Gilbert growled and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. Clearly sensing his nervousness and fear, Kisa said, ¡°I-I just went for a walk. I¡¯m not a kid, I-¡± ¡°But, I hate it when I can¡¯t find you.¡± Gilbert buried his head in the nape of her neck, smelling her scent before his uneasiness gradually faded. The feeling of not being able to find her panicked and scared him. He wanted to be able to see her all the time so that he could feel at ease. ¡°Don¡¯t do it again.¡± He hugged her for a long time before letting her go. ¡°When I call you next time, you have to answer. If it¡¯s inconvenient for you to answer, you can text me. Otherwise, I will be worried.¡± Speaking of the phone, Kisa then remembered that she had turned the phone on silent mode, as she feared that she would be discovered by Anthony and Lea in the restaurant earlier. After that, when she talked to Lea, she forgot to turn off the silent mode. She was touched to see Gilbert¡¯s serious and worried face. She pursed her lips. ¡°Sorry, I identally muted the phone.¡± Gilbert could not bring himself to keep reproaching her when he saw the weariness on her face. He held her hand tightly and said, ¡°No next time.¡± Then, he asked her, ¡°Have you had dinner?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°I haven¡¯t had dinner either. What would you like to eat? I¡¯ll make it for you.¡± He smiled as he led her into the house. ¡°Ma¡¯am, you¡¯re back.¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am, where have you been? Daddy has been worrying about you.¡± The children came up at once when they walked into the house, giving Kisa a touch of warmth in this late autumn night. Ada pulled at her and said, ¡°Ma¡¯am, Daddy was so worried that he even lost his appetite and was just about to go out and look for you.¡± Kisa looked at Gilbert. He patted her on the shoulder. ¡°Go sit down. I will make you something to eat.¡± Kisa suddenly pulled at him.

Give me a moment.¡± Gilbert smiled and strode toward the kitchen. Kisa looked on with amazement. Previously, she had always felt that his tenderness and affection were all just a pretense. But after she had ruined GK, and he could still be so kind and caring to her, it made her think twice about whether the ¡®truth¡¯ she was told was credible. If it was not, then there might be a more powerful mastermind behind it all. She was almost certain that Carolyn and Sharon couldn¡¯t be the mastermind because they did not have the ability. ¡®But who could it be? Who could be the one to toy with us all? Or, maybe I¡¯m wrong. There is no one else behind this. But, Gilbert¡¯s kindness to me these days really doesn¡¯t match up with the so-called ¡®truth¡¯. If Gilbert really wants me dead, there is no need for him to do all this. Especially after what happened with the contract. There is no reason for him to be so nice to me.¡¯ She sat down on the couch and kneaded her aching brow. With her getting more and more confused, her temples pulsated. She took a deep breath and forced herself not to think about it. Otherwise, she would only get herself into a blind alley. Gilbert was busy in the kitchen. Before long, he came out with two steamy tes in his hands. He put the tes on the table and smiled at Kisa. ¡°Come and eat.¡± Before Kisa even moved, the children hade over with curiosity. ¡°Daddy, what delicious thing did you make for Ma¡¯am?¡± Ada asked, stretching her neck to have a look. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s minced meat spaghetti. Daddy, you have never cooked spaghetti for Andrew and me.¡± Andrew followed. ¡°Daddy treats Ma¡¯am so well.

Kisa felt warm at heart as she looked at the three children. She got up and walked to the table. Looking at the minced meat and egg spaghetti reminded her of thest time he cooked the same for her. She could not help but smile. ¡°Is this all you can cook?¡± Gilbert was startled. ¡°Y-You don¡¯t like it?¡± He had watched her eat it all thest time and thought she liked ¡°I like it. I¡¯m just curious if you can cook anything else.¡± Kisa sat down at the table and was ready to dig in. ¡°Then, I will cook something else for you next time.¡± Gilbert smiled. Kisa also smiled, not saying anything. She just concentrated on her spaghetti. She wondered if it was because she was hurt by what happened to Lea that she felt exceptionally warm when she came back to the Kooper residerice today. In fact, this scene was what she had imagined six years ago when she was first pregnant ¨C A fantasy of having him, a child, a happy family, and a warm and happy life. At that time, she also had a simr dream and woke up smiling, but then she cried, thinking that everything in her dream would nevere true. But now, although these children were not hers and that she was not sure about Gilbert, the warm scene was not far from the dream back then. Kisa could not help but look a few more nces at Gilbert. At that moment, a sarcastic hum came from the stairway.

Please let her eat something first, okay?¡± Gilbert said with a frown. Madalyn grunted and wanted to say something more but had to choke back her displeasure because she was worried that her great-grandson might be starving. She shot a nce at Kisa and then looked at Gilbert. ¡°You are to move back to your original room and not sleep with her for the next few months.¡± ¡°No. I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know what you are doing. You are as desperate as hell every time you are with her.¡± Pfft! George and a few maids close by covered their mouths to suppress theirughter. Kisa hung her head in embarrassment, as Madalyn was just too blunt.

You will sleep in a separate room for the next few months.¡± This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. It seemed that Madalyn really treasured this ¡®baby¡¯ in her womb. Kisa subconsciously touched her t belly, thinking that when Madalyn found out she was not pregnant at all, she would probably be so mad that she would kill her. ¡®Who cares since this was all Gilbert¡¯s idea.¡¯ At night, Gilbert had no choice but to move back into his own room at Madalyn¡¯s insistence. He was now leaning against the door and reluctantly said, ¡°If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have let you fake your pregnancy.¡± Kisa leaned against the headboard and said to him absently, ¡°You can go tell your grandmother right now. She will surely listen to you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not okay.

As soon as he left, Kisa turned off the lights in the room. She thought it would be easy to fall asleep after a long day, but somehow, she tossed and turned in bed for a long time, unable to sleep. She picked up her phone and was about to surf the Inte when a call came in. When she saw the name Shaun on the screen, she involuntarily frowned. If it was not for Jensen, she would have never bothered to take his call because he had set her up before. The call went through, and Kisa asked in a faint voice, ¡°It¡¯ste now. What do you want?¡± While answering the phone, she even checked the time-it was almost 11.00 pm.

I know you are the one who cares about my boss the most. Can you please.e over? For no other reason, just for my boss toe out of hisa,¡± Shaun said. ¡°Okay, I will be right there,¡± Kisa said, barely hesitating. For so long, what she wanted most was for Jensen to wake up. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, I¡¯m sending you the location. Come on over, quick.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay I know the vi where Jensen is recuperating. I have been there once.¡± ¡°No, no, no, Mrs. Kooper. Miss Fallon has moved him to another ce to better his recovery. I have sent you the address, soe over quickly.¡± Kisa frowned in confusion. ¡°They changed the location?¡± Shaun had already hung up the phone. Kisa sat up from the bed and looked at the address Shaun had sent her. ¡®It¡¯s about 20km away from here. It¡¯s not that far, but the ce Mia chose for Jensen previously is a great ce for recuperation. Why would she move Jensen to another ce? Is Shaun lying to me? But, why would he lie to me? She was not sure. After thinking about it for a moment, she dialed Mia¡¯s phone number to confirm it. But after calling several times, Mia did not answer. Kisa pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, but still got up from the bed. She suddenly remembered the letters she had seen in Adrien¡¯s room the other day, one of which Jensen. had written admitting that he liked her. So, even if there was only a one-in-a-million chance, she had to try as long as Jensen could wake up. Since Shaun still depended on her connections to stay in GK Pictures, she did not think that Shaun would do anything to her. And, even though Shaun might have his heart in the wrong ce, he was still loyal to Jensen and would not joke about Jensen¡¯s condition. She quickly got dressed. It waste autumn, and the night was chilly. Kisa pulled her jacket tighter around. her and headed to her car. She followed the navigation and drove toward the address Shaun had sent her. There was hardly any traffic on the road at this hour, so Kisa reached the ce Shaun had mentioned in no time. The vi in front of her was not too big, and judging by the surroundings, it was not as good as the ce Mia had found for Jensenst time, where the air was fresher and a better natural environment. This vi, however, was next to some residential areas. The ce environment-wise was only so-so, but it had rtivelyplete amenities, and a hospital close by. So, Kisa wondered if Mia chose this ce to make it easier for doctors toe and check on Jensen. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Feeling puzzled, Kisa got out of the car and called Shaun¡¯s phone. Shaun answered in no time. ¡°Are you here, Mrs. Kooper?¡± ¡°I¡¯m outside the house.¡± Just as Kisa finished speaking, she saw Shauning out of the house He was anxious, and it did not look like he was faking it. ¡°Where is Jensen?¡± she asked. ¡°In the room, still in aa. You should go in and see him.¡± Kisa did not think much about it and quickly followed him into the house. The spacious living room was not well-lit, as only the smallermps were on. Kisa felt that something was not quite right as she saw gourmet food on the table, and a few candles were lit in the middle of it. Aside from that, the meal looked like a romantic candlelight dinner. There was no reason for such a thing if Jensen was really recuperating here While she was still wondering why, there was a sudden sound of a door closing behind her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1104 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1104 Chapter 1104 Do You Think I Will Let You Go? Kisa spun around and saw that Shaun had already closed the door Her heart sank, and she asked in an Icy voice, ¡°What is the meaning of this?¡± Shaun smiled and slowly walked toward her ¡°Nothing. Don¡¯t worry, Mrs. Kooper Sit down and eat something. Don¡¯t starve your baby¡± Kisa took a step back subconsciously Judging by Shaun¡¯s attitude, she knew that Jensen was definitely not here. She just did not know why Shaun had tricked her intoing here Is it for the ¡®baby¡¯ in my womb? When he mentioned the baby just now, his voice reeked of a sinister tone¡¯ She was quietly relieved that she was not pregnant If all he wanted was to harm the baby in her womb, then she was not worried ¡°Where is Jensen? Didn¡¯t you say Jensen was showing signs of waking up?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the rush? Let¡¯s have a candlelight dinner first,¡± Shaun said, and he went to pull her. Kisa saw iting and instantly dodged to the side. ¡°You lied to me. Jensen isn¡¯t even here, is he?¡± Kisa stared coldly at him. He snickered, ¡°Yeah, he is not here. Because you don¡¯t deserve to see him.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not up to you to decide,¡± She snorted. ¡°Since Jensen isn¡¯t here, I¡¯m leaving.¡± She hurried to the door Anticipating that Shaun woulde over to catch her, she ran. But Shaun, who was taller, could run much faster than her. Before she could reach the door, he grabbed her by the cor from behind. ¡°It took me a while to get you here Do you think I will let you go?¡± Shaun sneered and took her back to the dining table He was strong, and Kisa did not dare to fight back. She just coldly asked him, ¡°What do you want? Are you going to force me to work with you against Gilbert?¡± ¡°Heh. I know you are an ungrateful and heartless woman, so I have no intention of relying on you,¡± he said, as he threw her directly on the chair at the dining table. He then sat down beside her. ¡°I tricked you intoing just to have a candlelight dinner with you.¡± Kisa snickered and looked at him. ¡°Have a candlelight dinner with me?¡± She did not think that Shaun was interested in her. His hostility and disgust for her were apparent. He was most likely up to no good by preparing this candlelight dinner. Shaun offered her a ss of red wine. Then, as if he remembered something, he chuckled. ¡°Ahh, I forgot. you¡¯re pregnant with Mr. Kooper¡¯s child.¡± With that, he gave her a ss of juice instead. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Kisa had no intention of eating the food, as there was no way to know if the food and juice were poisoned. She looked at Shaun coldly ¡°What the hell do you want?¡± He smiled with a strange expression. ¡°I will let you go after you finish this meal with me.¡± The more he said that, the more Kisa felt that something was wrong with the food. She pushed the juice away. ¡°In that case, I will sit here with you all night, so we can talk about business.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Shaun snorted. ¡°You¡¯re very alert. Are you really afraid that I will harm your baby?¡± Kisa did not say a word. Shaun suddenly got up and grabbed her jaw. She was shocked, subconsciously raising her hands to fight back. But, it was to no avail. He picked up the ss of juice and was about to force it down her throat. She clenched her teeth and closed her mouth. However, Shaun was surprisingly strong, clutching her so hard that it hurt her so much. She felt as though he was going to crush her jaw.

Besides, she was getting more and more sick, so she needed to get out of there as soon as possible. She struggled to get off the couch with all her strength, but her feet were weak. As her feet touched the floor, she almost fell to her knees. She held onto the coffee table and staggered over to Gilbert, then she tugged at his arm and said, ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ Don¡¯t fight¡­¡± ¡°What? You feel sorry for him?¡± However, Gilbert was as mad as hell, yelling at her, then raising his arm and flinging her away. She was too weak to stand up, and she stumbled straight toward the coffee table. Watching Kisa¡¯s tummy hit the sharp corner of the coffee table, Shaun smiled triumphantly. He told himself that as long as he achieved his goal, such physical pain was worth it. Kisa gasped in pain, but the pain made her sober up a little. The good thing was that she was not pregnant. Otherwise, she would have lost her baby from such an impact. She gritted her teeth, staggered up, and pounced on Gilbert again.

In that case, Gilbert was the one who killed his own child. So, Kisa will hate him. Boss, I have finally helped you aplish what you have in mind,¡¯ he said in his mind. Shaun was smiling with great satisfaction despite the wounds all over his body and face. Gilbert shoved Kisa into the back seat and then got behind the wheel. He did not say a word and just started the car in silence. Kisa felt better after throwing up. Except for the burning pain that was still in her stomach, the feebleness and hot sensation were waning. I think vomiting has thrown up all the juice I identally swallowed.¡¯ She got up from the seat with difficulty and leaned back on the seat.

She quickly buttoned her shirt, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. Gilbert red at her in exasperation. Then, he got out of the car himself.

Suddenly, the terrifying things Kisa saw in her dreams and her bone-deep hatred surged toward her, momentarily causing her to confuse her dreams with reality. Kisa promptly roared and sat up. Then, she violently strangled the man by his neck. She had a savage expression and immense hatred in her eyes. Kisa dreamed of the purplish baby. It cried and asked why she did not avenge it. She also dreamed of Jensen. He stood in front of her while covered in blood and asked her why she still wanted to be with Gilbert and not avenge him.

What¡¯s even more shocking is that Gilbert didn¡¯t put up a fight the entire time. If I was holding a knife instead of strangling him with my hands, wouldn¡¯t hel have died in my hands? Kisa thought. Kisa quickly let go of Gilbert, and she fell onto the bed in distress. Then, she hugged her head in agony. She felt tormented and condemned by the hate and confrontationing from the baby and Jensen. ¡®I don¡¯t know what to do anymore,¡¯ thought Kisa. Kisa was conflicted and in agony.

After all, I did many things that let her down in the past. But when my sincerity wasn¡¯t epted or recognized, I couldn¡¯t help but feel sad and resentful.

If you really want to avenge him, then do it.¡± After speaking, the man turned around and walked outside without looking at her. Kisa stared fixedly at his back.

It was when she walked into the set that the reporters were gone. Kisa could not help but let out a sigh of relief. Thinking of how Gilbert left that morning, she began to feel a little sad.

However, Sharon was very well-behaved the whole day. She did not even approach Kisa once. During their lunch break, Jolina went to Kisa and said in a low voice, ¡°I just took some pictures of Sharon.¡± ¡°What kind of pictures?¡± Kisa hurriedly asked as her eyes lit up. Jolina nced at Sharon and saw that she was far away from them, so she took out her phone and showed it to Kisa. Jolina had taken a picture of Sharon talking to one of the cleaners behind a bush.

From the video, it looked like gasoline. ¡°What are we going to do now, Kisa? Are we going to use the evidence we got to expose them?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not enough.

Just go with them. I¡¯ll find a way to help you.¡± ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t want to¡­ I don¡¯t want to go to that kind of ce. Mom¡­¡± Carolyn cried anxiously. ¡°I know how hard it is for you. But, don¡¯t worry. I will go find your Uncle Adrien to help you right away.¡± Christopher¡¯s face contorted with anger when he heard that they were pinning all their hopes on Adrien. ¡°Miss Case,e with us. No matter how hard Sharon struggled, the police still handcuffed her and then escorted her away. Sharon kept looking back and crying, ¡°Help me, Mom. You must get Mr. Tanner to help me.¡± ¡°I will, my dear girl. Don¡¯t be afraid!¡± As Carolyn hurriedly headed outside the hospital, seemingly going to find Adrien, Christopher followed her with a grunt of exasperation. Madalyn then said to Jolina, ¡°The police still need your phone as evidence, so¡­¡± Jolina quickly said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t need the phone right now.¡± ¡°George.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1119 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1119 Chapter 1119 She Wasn¡¯t So Bad Back Then Madalyn had just called out once and George immediately got the hint and handed Jolina a sum of cash.¡± You use this money to buy yourself a new phone,¡± Madalyn said to Jolina. ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s okay.¡± Jolina quickly waved her hand. ¡°I¡¯ll just wait for the police to return the phone to me.¡± But, George had shoved a stack of money into her hand. It was enough for her to buy not one but several high-end phones. After Madalyn and George had left, Jolina looked at Kisa. Although Kisa was faking her miscarriage, none of the people who came were genuinely concerned about her. All of them only cared about the ¡®baby¡¯. And now, they all left without even asking about her condition. So, Jolina was a little upset, feeling sorry for Kisa. She walked over and held Kisa¡¯s hand. ¡°What do we do now? Should we go home or stay in the hospital?¡± ¡°Of course, staying in the hospital-we need to give a full performance.¡± Kelvin stood by with his arms folded in front of his chest. ¡°Then, Sharon is in deep sh*t. She is going to jail for sure as long as grandma won¡¯t let up.¡± ¡°What? You feel sorry for her? Kisa asked, smiling sardonically at him. ¡®Don¡¯t men always like to protect the so-called soft and vulnerable Sharon?¡¯ Kelvin quickly shook his head. ¡°Quit joking around. Why would I feel sorry for her?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you all favor her when you were kids?¡± Kisa dug at him. ¡°She wasn¡¯t so bad back then,¡± he said. Kisa chuckled and said nothing. Who could tell good from bad as a child? I remember that Sharon as a child was always quiet. But now, I think she was just really good at concealing herself.¡± Kelvin had arranged a VIP room for Kisa, and Jolina, who did not want to go home, simply put a bed next to Kisa¡¯s and slept there. N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. ¡°What would you like to eat, Kisa? I¡¯ll go buy it for you. Mrs. Kooper Sr. just gave me a lot of money.¡± Jolina said, fishing the thick stack of cash out of her purse. ¡°Keep it and buy yourself a cell phone when you go out to buy dinner. Otherwise, your family will be worried if they can¡¯t get in touch with you,¡± Kisa said. ¡°Okay.¡± Jolina counted out $3,000, then handed the rest to Kisa. ¡°I don¡¯t need that much money to buy a phone. Could you return the rest to Mrs. Kooper Sr. on my behalf?¡± Jolina is such an honest girl! Kisa smiled at her. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Madalyn gave you this much because you recorded the evidence. You deserve it.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Jolina still looked torn as if she had never taken so much money for nothing. She felt undeserving. ¡°Well, I¡¯m starving, and I guess you are, too. Go grab something to eat and bring me a couple of sandwiches and maybe some oatmeal.¡± ¡°Okay. I will go right away.¡± Hearing Kisa said that she was hungry, Jolina stopped harping on it and tucked the bills into her handbag. Then, she ran out in a whirlwind. After Jolina had left, Kisa took out her phone and looked at it. ¡®The media have been obsessed with my pregnancy¡¯tely. Now that I had met with an incident like this, they must have prepared a press release and published it on all the entertainment tforms. Even Madalyn came to see me, but Gilbert didn¡¯t.

He looked up, only to see Madalyn walk briskly in with George¡¯s help. Davian rushed over to help Madalyn. ¡°What happened, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?¡± ¡°Gilbert, the baby is no more. My precious great-grandchild is no more,¡± Madalyn said with sorrow. Davian¡¯s expression abruptly changed.¡± What do you mean? You mean Andrew and Ada-¡± Madalyn hurriedly pushed Davian away in disgust and shouted angrily, ¡°Shut the hell up! Stop cursing my precious great-grandchildren here.¡± She shot a re at Davian for good measure. Davian had an innocent look on his face. What have I said wrong? It was she who said that her precious great-grandchild was no more, for God¡¯s sake.¡± Gilbert got up and walked over to help Madalyn sit down on the couch. ¡°If it¡¯s gone, it¡¯s gone. The pregnancy was just an ident, anyway. It is enough that we have Andrew and Ada.¡± C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. He already knew everything that had just happened to Kisa. Now all the major entertainment tforms were reporting it, and he expected it was going to make it to tomorrow¡¯s news headlines. But to him, this was not a bad thing-at least it solved the matter of Kisa¡¯s fake pregnancy. At first, he was thinking of working harder during this time to try to get Kisa to conceive, so that his grandmother would not think they were deceiving her. And by virtue of the child, his grandmother would treat Kisa better. But Kisa still did not have any feelings for him. Despite his efforts for so long, pampering her with everything and giving in to her, what she really wanted most was to kill him and take revenge on behalf of Jensen. He lowered his eyes and forced a smile, telling himself to stop thinking about having a baby anymore. ¡°That¡¯s not the same,¡± Madalyn said sadly. ¡°I have always regretted not being able to see Andrew and Ada grow up as babies. When I thought I had another great-grandchild and it suddenly left, I couldn¡¯t be sadder. Gilbert, tell me why this happened.¡± Seeing his grandmother¡¯s grieving face, he suddenly regretted letting Kisa fake her pregnancy. But he could not tell his grandmother the truth, or she would hate Kisa even more. While he was thinking, Madalyn suddenly said, ¡°It is Sharon¡¯s fault. This time I will make sure that b*tch spends a few years in jail.¡± ¡°Come on Grandma, don¡¯t be mad.¡± Gilbert patted Madalyn on the back and whispered, ¡°Andrew and Ada are so wonderful, and there is also ke, who is so understanding. Having the three of them is enough.¡± ¡°But-¡± ¡°Every child is a gift from God. Let¡¯s cherish what we have in front of us.¡± Madalyn sighed and shook her head in disappointment. ¡°Maybe I rejoiced too soon.¡± With that, she stood up and said to George, ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go home.¡± Gilbert looked at George. ¡°Take care of Grandma.¡± ¡°Aye, Mr. Kooper.¡± After George and Madalyn had left, Davian came up to Gilbert with his phone.¡± Mr. Kooper, I just realized that this happened to Mrs. Kooper.¡± Gilbert took a nce at the phone screen in his hand and returned to his chair to continue his work. Davian looked at him in surprise. ¡®The photos in the news show Mrs. Kooper covered in blood. But why does Mr. Kooper seem so calm? What is going on here? His wife had a miscarriage, and should he be concerned?¡¯ He pursed his lips, and then said cautiously. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go see your wife? I will take care of the rest of the work.¡± Gilbert flipped open a file. It¡¯s okay. Let¡¯s keep working.¡± Davian nced at him but did not dare to say anything else. Shaun looked at the report on his phone and shook his head in disbelief. ¡°How could this happen? It¡¯s impossible. It is not possible.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1121 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1121 Chapter 1121 Got Yourself Into Trouble Mia sneered, ¡°What is impossible? Sharon must have hit her harder than you did. Look at you; you are not even as good as that woman. Sharon knocked the baby out of Kisa¡¯s belly with just a few blows. You, on the other hand, are just a smarty-pants who did nothing except get yourself into trouble.¡± Shaun still had bruises all over his face and looked a little funny. He looked at Jensen. ¡°Boss, there must be something wrong with this. I saw her bump her belly against the corner of the coffee table, and that blow was definitely harder than the one Sharon gave her-¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Jensen looked thoughtfully at the photos in the news. After a long moment, he said, ¡± Let¡¯s leave it at that and not mention it again.¡± Shaun was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Jensen had already gotten up and left. Inside the club, Carolyn paced back and forth in the lobby anxiously. After waiting for a long time, she got impatient and asked a bodyguard, ¡°When is Mr. Tanner going to be avable? Just tell him I¡¯m here and ask him toe out to see me.¡± ¡°Sorry, Mrs. Case. Mr. Tanner is still in the middle of a business discussion with a client. Please wait a little longer.¡± Carolyn looked at the time. She had been waiting for three hours and wondered how Sharon was doing at the police station. After she waited for another quarter of an hour, Adrien finally came out of the meeting room. The man beside him was probably his client. ¡°Adrien¡­¡± Carolyn called out to him at once as she rushed up to him. A bodyguard stopped her. ¡°Mrs. Case, please wait for a moment. Mr. Tanner will be with you as soon as he is finished.¡± Adrien did not even look at her as he walked the client straight to the door. After the client left, Carolyn hurriedly pushed the bodyguard away and threw herself into Adrien¡¯s arms. Adrien, your bodyguards are so mean that they wouldn¡¯t let me see you. You must punish them good and proper ¡°Fine, fine, I know.¡± Adrien patted her on the back and led her to sit down on this side of the couch. ¡°Is there something urgent you want to see me about?¡± Adrien purposely asked when he saw Carolyn¡¯s anxious face. Carolyn took his hand and said, ¡°It is about Sharon. Did you watch the news? That b*tch Kisa med Sharon for her miscarriage. Now Sharon has been taken away by the police and is probably being tortured. Adrien, do something to help her.¡± Adrien frowned. ¡°Aren¡¯t police arrests are based on evidence? Do they have any evidence?¡± ¡°That old woman from the Kooper family got the evidence from somewhere, and the police took Sharon away after taking a look at it. But trust me, that evidence must be false. Sharon wouldn¡¯t do something like that. It must have been Kisa who conspired with the Kooper family to frame Sharon. Adrien, do something.¡± Adrien patted her on the back andforted her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Tomorrow, I will use my connections and see if I can get Sharon out.¡± ¡°I knew you were the one who could do it, Adrien.¡± Carolyn instantly broke into a smile and looked at him with a growing look of admiration. ¡°Okay, stop crying. Look at your eyes, they are swollen from crying.¡± Adrien wiped the tear from the corner of her eyes and said ambiguously, ¡°Let¡¯s stay here tonight.¡± N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. Carolyn lowered her head bashfully. ¡°I didn¡¯t really n on going home tonight either. But Sharon-¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I have got a handle on it.¡± Early in the morning, Christopher rolled up his sleeves and paced back and forth outside the club for a long time. Suddenly, an elderly man with a hideous face and a scruffy body, looking like a beggar, came out of the club and bumped right into him. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1122 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1122 Chapter 1122 The Pain of Cuckolding Christopher frowned and brushed the non-existent dust off his clothes, as if disgusted by the beggar¡¯s filth. The beggar had a cigarette in his mouth and snickered at him. ¡°What is the matter with that disgusted look of yours? Your wife has slept with countless beggars like us, yet you still have the nerve to feel disgusted with me?¡± Christopher was furious and grabbed him by the cor. ¡°What are you talking about? Tell me clearly.¡± The beggar seemed to have suddenly remembered something and quickly shut up, then forcefully swatted away Christopher¡¯s hand and ran to the side of the road. He then looked back at Christopher and sneered at him. ¡°Stop thinking you¡¯re superior to us just because you are rich. You are now the biggest cuckold in town. Hahaha!¡± Christopher was so angry that his face darkened. Carolyn hasn¡¯te out all night. That b*tch must have been doing something sleazy with Adrien. But I just did not expect that even a beggar would laugh at me. Have I really be theughingstock of the whole of Calthon? Damn it! But how could a beggar like that get into the club and stay there for a whole night? I¡¯m not even qualified to go in. So why could that beggar?¡± As he was thinking, he saw Carolyn brush her hair as she walked out of the club. His anger red at the sight of her. He went up and grabbed her hand and hissed, ¡°You b*tch. I have been up all night, worrying about Sharon, and thinking about discussing with you how to help her. But you came here to see Adrien. Why are you so shameless? Why don¡¯t you be a prostitute instead?¡± This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. ¡°Let me go!¡± Carolyn pushed him away in disgust.¡± Talk to you? What else can you do but beg? I¡¯d rather talk to Mr. Tanner than you. He is much more capable than you.¡± ¡°B*tch!¡± Christopher pped her, sending her crashing to the ground. Before she could get up, he pulled at her cor and hissed, ¡°You talked to him? Heh! Talking at night until you two got into bed? Even beggars know you are sleeping with Adrien. What else do you have to say?¡± A sh of guilt washed over Carolyn¡¯s face. ¡°Yeah, I slept with him all night. So what? We are getting divorced anyway. What I do with Mr. Tanner is none of your business.¡± ¡°B*tch!¡± Christopher roared as he stripped her naked. ¡°Since you are shameless, you don¡¯t need clothes. I will show everyone how cheap you are.¡± Ignoring Carolyn¡¯s screaming and hissing, he threw her clothes on the ground and left. There were more and more pedestrians passing by, and almost everyone was pointing fingers at her, and privately discussing the hickeys on her body. Almost breaking down, Carolyn hurriedly grabbed her clothes and ran back toward the club. On the top floor, Adrien watched the drama unfold downstairs with indifference, and a touch of pleasure of revenge rose inside him. That is Christopher¡¯s pain of cuckolding. Heh, but this revenge is far from enough.¡± In the hospital, Kisa had just had breakfast when the director came over. ¡°Kisa, are you okay?¡± The director even brought over a bouquet. Kisa smiled at him. ¡°Much better, and thanks foring.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. I¡¯m partly responsible for what happened in the studio,¡± the director said, looking at her again and feeling relieved. ¡°d to see you¡¯re alright. Yourplexion looks so bright and rosy.

He found that, just as the director had said, Kisa looked just like a normal person, not a bit like a patient who had a miscarriage. Christopher frowned when he remembered what she had said to her colleague in the studio that day. On that day, he had heard her tell her colleagues that she was not pregnant. ¡®Could it be¡­ Christopher¡¯s face changed as he thought of a possibility.

I was trying to say you¡¯ve recovered really well, just one night and you¡¯re back to normal.¡± ¡°What is the use of me recovering well, when my ¡®child¡¯¡­¡± Kisa looked down sadly, her eyes filled with tears. The director saw her reaction and quickly said, ¡°Kisa, it¡¯s my fault. Don¡¯t be sad. I shouldn¡¯t have said something like that and hurt your feelings.¡± Kisa raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. ¡°It is okay. I¡¯m not sad. I just feel so much regret.¡± The director breathed a sigh of relief and reassured her. ¡°You and Mr. Kooper are still young. You will have children in the future.¡± After that, he frowned in puzzlement. ¡°Strange to say; why didn¡¯t Mr. Kooper show up when you had such a serious ident in the studio?¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes turned glum at the mention of Gilbert. ¡°Maybe he¡¯s busy.¡± ¡°He should havee to see you even if he¡¯s busy, since something like this happened to you. He¡¯s been pampering you so much all this while, so this is strange.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes were downcast, and she said nothing. The director nced at her. ¡°Maybe Mr. Kooper really is too busy. Since you¡¯re okay, I¡¯ll go back to the studio since we have a few scenes to shoot today. I¡¯ll find a stunt double to rece your scenes, don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Okay, take care.¡± Jolina saw the director out. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Kisa took out her phone and went online. The headline of the day was about her miscarriage. Many media outlets took Gilbert¡¯s absence as a sign that she had fallen out of favor with him. Some media reported Gilbert did not like her at all and that he only admitted the marriage with her because of the baby she was carrying. There were also media reported Gilbert would soon divorce her after she lost this child. Kisa read a few random stories, then put the phone away and turned to look out the window, wondering if Gilbert was not willing to y along anymore. In the police lockup, Christopher was furious when he saw the bruises on Sharon¡¯s face. ¡°Who did this? You have only been in here a day and have been beaten up like this?¡± ¡°Dad, get me out of here. I don¡¯t want to stay in this damn ce for a second longer. They say that jail is even worse.

I''ll go buy it for you.¡± Kisa looked at her. "Actually, I''m not hurt, so you don''t have to be here with me." "That''s okay. I have nothing else to do anyway," Jolina said, walking toward the door. "I will bring you some barbeque ribs. I tried it yesterday, and it was pretty good." "Yeah, okay." After seeing Jolina out, Kisa then turned around, still looking out the window in a daze. A door suddenly opened. She turned around and was stunned. "It is you!" It was Christopher, along with two strange men. The two men had a camera around their necks, like they were paparazzi. If Christopher hade alone, she would have thought that her father had developed a conscience and hade to see her. But he brought two reporters with him, showing that he was definitely up to no good this time. And it was obvious that they were waiting for Jolina to leave before they came in. Kisa sat up and stared cautiously at Christopher. "What are you doing here? 99 "Oh, look at the tone of your voice. You had a miscarriage, so I''m here to see you." Christopher smiled, only that smile looked fake. "You''ve seen me, so you can leave now," Kisa said, not wanting to entertain him. But Christopher not only did not leave but also came over to her. "Look at you. You look like you are fine already." Kisa smiled sarcastically at him. "Thanks to Sharon, I didn''t die from the fall." "You might be fine, but Sharon is still suffering in the police lockup," Christopher said, his face instantly turning sinister. "I will ask you again- will you drop the case?" It was all apparent to Kisa now. ''So he is here for Sharon. It seems Madalyn''s attitude is tough, and that he hasn''t been able to bail out Sharon yet.'' Kisa said in a faint voice, ¡°It is impossible to drop the charges. Just wait for Sharon to be sentenced. She deserves to be punished for all the evil things she has done." "Nonsense. You clearly set her up this time because you weren''t even pregnant." Christopher hissed at her angrily. Kisa was rmed but appeared calm. "I had a miscarriage, and that''s what everyone saw. Are you trying to twist the truth to save Sharon?" "You are really wicked. Sharon is your biological sister, but you not only faked your pregnancy and miscarriage to frame her, but even bribed the people inside to assault Sharon. Why are you so evil?" Christopher stopped acting like a loving father and said with a stern face, "Since you won''t withdraw yourwsuit, then don''t me me for being ruthless." While speaking, he took out a syringe. "What do you want to do?" Kisa''s face sank. "Getting you a blood test. I have checked, although you have just had a miscarriage, it is still possible to test whether you have been pregnant from your blood. As long as it is proven that you are not pregnant, I can sue you for framing Sharon," Christopher said, gesturing to the two reporters to hold Kisa down.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Kisa panicked and rushed out of bed to call for help. Just that the two reporters hade over and pinned her to the bed, then gagged her with cotton clothes. Christopher did not know how to draw blood or locate the veins. So, he just randomly jabbed the needle into her arm and pulled the plunger. This did not draw blood at all, and it hurt Kisa like hell when the plunger was drawn. Kisa''s face turned pale as he was doing this. Two reporters could not stand to watch this and reminded Christopher. Chapter 1125 Everything Has Its Karma Chapter 1125 Everything Has Its Karma Chapter 1125 Everything Has Its Karma "Mr. Case, you''d better draw from the veins in her arm, or let me do it." Christopher saw he could not really get the blood out, so he pulled the syringe out and handed it to the reporter while he held Kisa''s arm down with a firm grip. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Kisa gnawed on the cotton cloth, her eyes filled with appalling hatred. She told herself that she would never forgive this so-called father for the rest of her life, and that she never had a father. The blood was drawn and only then did the three release her. Kisa pulled the cotton cloth out of her mouth and red at Christopher." Do you really think that if you prove I''m not pregnant, you can sue me for setting up Sharon?" Christopher frowned with disgust. "What are you trying to pull again?" "I''m telling you, the fact that I''m not pregnant only means that she hasn''t caused me much harm, but it doesn''t disprove the fact that she did it to me first! She poured gasoline in my fitting room and caused me to fall, and I have proof of all that. She can''t get away with intentionally causing harm to others, but at best, her punishment will be lighter," Kisa said coldly, telling herself that she would have nothing to do with Christopher from now on. Christopher red at her. "Even if I can''t sue you for framing Sharon, I can at least keep Sharon out of jail," Christopher said, and hurried outside, as if one more moment of dy would cause more suffering to Sharon. Tears fell from Kisa''s eyes as Christopher left. She wiped the tears from her face bit by bit and snickered, thinking, ''Why am I crying? Isn''t it better this way? The more Christopher spoils Sharon, the more he treats her as his darling daughter, the more he will lookughable and feel miserable when Sharon acknowledges Adrien as her father. Everything has its karma.'' When Jolina came, Kisa had just changed her clothes. "Kisa, are you leaving the hospital now? We just came inst night, didn''t we? It won''t expose ourselves now that we are out of the hospital, will it?" "There is no need to keep pretending anymore," Kisa said. "My fake pregnancy will soon be made public." "Huh? Then what do we do?" Jolina''s expression changed, looking worried. "Wouldn''t that be bad for your reputation?" Kisa was amused to see Jolina''s worried face. "Don''t worry, we can hide at home before the news is out, then the reporters can do nothing about us." "But they will write nonsense." "Let them write whatever they want." Kisa could not care less now. "Ignore it, and the heat will pass." Jolina nodded in confusion, thinking in her mind that was all that could be done. Kisa did not go back to the Kooper residence because when the news of her fake pregnancy was out, Madalyn would surely be furious and kick her out of the Kooper residence, and it would be embarrassing for her to be besieged by reporters outside. She went back to her own ce with Jolina. On the way back, the two of them had gone to the supermarket to buy some groceries. When they got back to their ce, Kisa sorted out the ingredients and then simply tidied up the guest room for Jolina to stay. Jolina kept looking at her phone, checking if the news of Kisa''s fake pregnancy had got out yet. Kisa said to her with amusement, "Why don''t you watch TV and rx instead of staring at the news?¡± With that, she turned on the TV in the living room. Jolina had probably never been in this kind of situation before, so she was constantly in a panic. She went to the window and looked downstairs to see if reporters had gathered. Chapter 1126 The Lab Test Results Chapter 1126 The Lab Test Results Chapter 1126 The Lab Test Results It was dark, and there was no one downstairs. Jolina frowned, feeling unease. "I somehow feel this is quiet before the storm." Kisaughed. "Fear not even if the storm ising; we''re in the safety of the house. They can''t break in, can they?" Jolina nodded. "You have a point." Kisa handed her a new set of sleepwear and patted her on the shoulder." Well, you must be tired after a long day, so go wash up and sleep." At the hospital, Christopher stared wide-eyed at theboratory test results handed over by the doctor. "How is this possible? You must have made a mistake." On theb report, it clearly showed two weeks of pregnancy. ''But Kisa was not pregnant! She admitted it herself, so why did the blood test show she was pregnant again? The doctor must have made a mistake.'' He looked at the doctors. "You must have made a mistake, or there is something wrong with the instrument. I want a new test." "Sir, our instruments are state-of-the-art. The possibility of an error is almost zero. Besides, you have only sent a tube of blood. If you don''t believe this result, you can let here in person to have the blood drawn and tested.¡± Christopher stood bewildered as he could not figure out what was going on. All he knew was that if he could not prove that Kisa was faking her pregnancy, then Sharon would be guilty of causing Kisa''s miscarriage and then he would not be able to save Sharon. He looked at the two reporters beside him. "I will have the doctor forge ab report. You know what to write in the news, don''t you?" The two reporters were in a dilemma. "Mr. Case, it is not that we don''t want to help you, but how can this be faked? The test results now show that Mrs. Kooper really was pregnant, but she lost the baby because of Sharon. If we write that she faked her pregnancy to smear Sharon, then the Kooper family will cut us to pieces." "Exactly, Mr. Case. You said you had evidence to prove Mrs. Kooper was faking her pregnancy, and we thought it was a big story and came here with you. Yet it turned out that she really was pregnant and had a miscarriage because of Sharon. So, how can you expect us to cover this up?" "I can pay you guys as much money as you want as long as you help me out this time." Christopher''s voice was desperate in his attempt to save his daughter. The two reporters backed up. "There''s no use giving us more money. It''s the cold hard facts, and we can''t twist it. Besides, we wouldn''t dare to offend the Kooper family." The two reporters looked at each other and wanted to leave. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Christopher hurriedly pulled them back. "You heard Kisa admit today in the hospital room that she was not pregnant, didn''t you? There must be something wrong. Just do me a favor and help me get my daughter out of jail. I''m begging you," Christopher desperately said, and he was even about to kneel in front of them and beg. The two reporters were in a dilemma and wanted to leave, but Christopher just kept tugging at their sleeves. "What are you guys doing here?" Suddenly, a puzzled voice came. They looked over and found it was Kelvin. "Mr. Hoover, you''re here just in time. Can you please tell Mr. Case to leave us alone?" "Yeah, he wants us to publish a false story to help him save his daughter. Isn''t he just asking us to get ourselves into trouble? Besides, the truth is right there, and we can''t save Sharon by putting out a fake news story." "Fake story?" Kelvin was curious. "What kind of fake story could save Sharon?" Chapter 1127 Is Kisa Really Pregnant? Chapter 1127 Is Kisa Really Pregnant? Chapter 1127 Is Kisa Really Pregnant? Christopher''s face sank, and he signaled the two reporters not to say anything. However, those two reporters were bent on getting away from him and were not afraid of his threats. One reporter said to Kelvin, "Mr. Case is the one who told us to write about Mrs. Kooper faking her pregnancy." Kelvin''s expression changed slightly. "And then what?" "He then asked us to add fuel to the fire by writing about Mrs. Koopefs viciousness and her framing Sharon for her miscarriage." "Mr. Hoover, don''t you think Mr. Case is putting us in a difficult position? Mrs. Kooper was indeed pregnant, and Sharon did cause her miscarriage. So how can we cover this up?" "Besides, the Kooper family are now in grief and anger. If we write a false story, we''d only be asking for trouble. So Mr. Hoover, please help us talk some sense into Mr. Case." This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Kisa was not pregnant. She admitted it herself. She set Sharon up," Christopher said indignantly. The two reporters ignored him and shook off his hand. Just then, theb report Christopher was holding dropped to the ground. Kelvin picked it up in puzzlement and was startled when he saw it. "Is this Kisa''s blood test report?" ''Oh my God, was Kisa really pregnant? But she clearly told me she wasn''t pregnant. When she was brought to the emergency roomst night, she only faked a miscarriage by tying several bags of blood to her stomach. But what about thisb report?'' None of the three said anything. Kelvin looked at them. "Kisa came to take a blood test herself? But isn''t she still weak in the hospital ward?" "Weak?" Christopher snorted. "She is not weak. There is something wrong with this test. She is definitely not pregnant." The reporters rolled their eyes at Christopher. One said to Kelvin, "Actually, Mr. Case took us to take the blood samples from Mrs. Kooper''s arm by force. Please plead with her for uster. Tell her we''re sorry, and that we were tricked into this." Kelvin had roughly figured out what was going on. He said to the two reporters, "At least you two have some conscience left. Leave. I''ll intercede on your behalf." "Thank you, Mr. Hoover," the two reporters said, head ing for the elevator in a sh. Christopher tried to chase after them, but Kelvin stopped him. Putting theb report in his pocket, he looked at Christopher. "Uncle Christopher, what is going on? Kisa is your daughter, too. Have you ever considered her feelings?" "Did she consider my feelings as a father when she did this to Sharon? She was the one who was heartless and ungrateful in the first ce." Kelvin shook his head speechlessly. He now truly believed that the Case family was really treating Kisa terribly. Even Christopher, her biological father, treated her that way. Not to mention Carolyn, the stepmother. "Kelvin..." Christopher suddenly tugged at Kelvin''s arm. "You were the one who gave Kisa the emergency treatmentst night. You know best if she was faking her pregnancy. Tell me she was faking her pregnancy, wasn''t she?" A flicker of thought came to mind, and Kelvin coughed to clear his throat. "Uncle Christopher, just ept the fact that Sharon has caused Kisa''s miscarriage. You can''t defame and nder Kisa just because you unfairly favor Sharon. Besides, Sharon did indeed make a mistake, and she deserves to be punished. So don''t waste your time. She will only serve three to five years in jail at most." Chapter 1128 Dont Take Things Too Far Chapter 1128 Don''t Take Things Too Far Chapter 1128 Don''t Take Things Too Far "No! I can¡¯t let Sharon go to jail!" Christopher continued stubbornly, ''Sharon was framed. Kisa herself admitted that she wasn''t pregnant. Help me, Kelvin. Help me prove it.¡± Kelvin rolled his eyes. "She probably said she wasn''t pregnant because you''d hurt her; that''s why she said such a thing." Christopher was startled, "I had hurt her?" Kelvin nced at him and sighed, "Mr. Case, let me give you a word of advice: Kisa''s your daughter too. Don''t take things too far and think of her mother." After hearing Kelvin bring up Kisa''s mother, Christopher looked even more perplexed. Suddenly, he covered his face and burst into tears, "I just want to save Sharon; what''s wrong with that? I promised her. If I break my promise again, she''ll surely look down even more on this father of hers. Besides, even if you helped me falsify the evidence, Kisa would, at most, lose her reputation. On the other hand, Sharon will have to go to jail." The more Kelvin heard Christopher''s words, the more speechless he felt. ''How unfortunate of Kisa to have such a father,'' he thought. He nced indifferently at Christopher before walking away with theb report. ''I need to quickly let Gilbert know of the good news,'' thought Kelvin again. At the Kooper residence''s study, Davian said to Gilbert in astonishment, ¡° Mr. Kooper, you wouldn''t have guessed this. The madam wasn''t there when I visited her at the hospital!" Gilbert was reading a book while leaning against the chair. Hearing Davian''s words, he could not help but frown, "She''s not at the hospital?" "Mhm. I asked her doctor, and the doctor told me that she had been discharged," Davian said while scanning the area. Then, he whispered, ''Mr. Kooper, the madam''s only stayed at the hospital for a day; can she really be discharged? I also spoke to George. He said the madam didn¡¯t return to the Kooper residence. Mr. Kooper, do you think the madam would do something reckless out of the grief of losing her baby?" Davian had taken the liberty to visit Kisa by himself. ''Mr. Kooper usually pampers and spoils Kisa, yet he''s suddenly so cold toward her. I can''t figure out what he''s thinking, so I thought it would be better for me to visit her. Besides, she''s the wife of GK Pictures''s CEO, so I figured it would make sense for me to go. I found it pitiful how the Kooper family left her alone at the hospital.'' ''But I didn''t expect her to already be discharged. Regardless, it doesn''t seem normal to get discharged right after having a miscarriage. I was worried that she''d do something reckless, so I quickly came to inform Mr. Kooper. But why does Mr. Kooper still look so cold? He doesn''t look panicked at all. Isn''t he always making a big fuss over Kisa Becker?'' wondered Davian. Gilbert said stoically, "Don''t worry. She won''t do anything reckless." But Mr. Kooper, she did just lose a child after all. Doesn''t it seem a little inexcusable for you not to visit her at all?" Right after Davian spoke, Gilbert narrowed his eyes icily, and his expression darkened. Davian pursed his lips. ''I shouldn''t have said that,'' he thought regretfully. Gilbert turned to him icily, "You seem to care about her a lot." "No, not at all." Davian shook his head in a panic and continued, "I just felt a little bad for her. Really. She lost her child, yet nobody cares about her; that''s so pitiful." "Hah! Pitiful?" Gilbert snorted sardonically. However, he did not continue the topic. He merely waved his hand, "Get lost and stop annoying me." Davian nced at him bewildered before walking out in silence. ''I can never figure out what Mr. Kooper is thinking,'' he thought. Just as he got to the door and opened it, he saw Kelvin. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Hi!" Chapter 1129 Its Not Like Ive Never Been a Father Chapter 1129 It''s Not Like I''ve Never Been a Father Chapter 1129 It''s Not Like I''ve Never Been a Father Kelvin greeted him with a smile, "Don''t leave yet. Well go for some celebratory drinkster." Davian turned around and nced at Gilbert. Then, he hurriedly dragged Kelvin out by the arm. "Mr. Hoover, Mr. Kooper''s in a terrible mood right now. I don''t know what''s gotten into him recently. He''s been in a bad mood, so you better not go in and provoke him. It won''t do you any good. Really." Kelvin smiled, "What''s the matter? Did you get scolded by him just now?" "Yeah. Anyway, he''s in a bad mood. Let''s leave him alone and go for drinks, " Davian said in a hushed voice. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Then, he dragged Kelvin toward the stairs. Kelvin plucked Davian''s hand away with a smile. "What''re you scared of? Come on, let''s go inside. Watch me cheer him up," he said with a secretive expression. Davian said disdainfully, "You better not mess around. Right now, Mr. Kooper is in a really... Sigh... Mr. Hoover..." Before Davian could finish, Kelvin quickly walked into the study. Davian did not even have the chance to stop him. He shook his head helplessly and followed Kelvin inside. "What''s the matter, Gilbert? You''re in a bad mood?" Gilbert lit a cigarette. He took a puff and leaned onto the chair. Then, he looked at Kelvin indifferently, "What''s the matter? Did you two each have a falling-out with your woman? You''re so free that you came here to relieve your boredom?" Davian lowered his head. ''Well, I actually did have a fallout with Felicity. Now that I think about it, that woman hasn''te looking for me in days. I wonder if she really isn''t going to talk to me anymore,'' he wondered. Kelvin let out a muffledugh. "Do you hear yourself? You sound like you want everyone man to have a fallout with their woman." Gilbert side-eyed him, irritated and said, "If there''s nothing, then get lost. Stop annoying me!" "There''s obviously something if I''m here to see you thiste at night. Besides, you''ll probably want to thank meter." "Hah!" Gilbertughed with contempt. He treated Kelvin''s words like they were a joke. Kelvin smiled and said, "Kisa really is pregnant." Gilbert continued smoking and did not spare Kelvin a single nce. Kelvin''s smirk grew wider, "What''s the matter? Aren''t you happy that you got her pregnant?" "What''s there to be happy about? It''s not like I''ve never been a father," Gilbert said casually. ''I know much better than everyone that Kisa isn''t pregnant. And yet Kelvin''s trying to use this to lie to me? How foolish,'' he thought. Kelvinughed quietly, ''Ah... I see you have zero anticipation for being a father now. Alright. I''ll tell Kisa thatter. Well see if she wants to abort the baby." Gilbert kept a stoic expression despite Kelvin''s words. Kelvin held in hisughter and took out theb report from his pocket. Then, he ced it in front of Gilbert, "Regardless, I''ll still show you theb report. Just in case you say that I''m lying to you." Gilbert nced at theb report casually. The very next moment, he sat up and grabbed theb report. Then, he widened his eyes in disbelief. Kelvin watched Gilbert''s reaction with a look of satisfaction. Meanwhile, Davian had a look of confusion. However, Gilbert''s excitement onlysted for a brief moment. He crumpled up theb report and threw it at Kelvin, "Kelvin Hoover, you''re really doing all sorts of things just to mess with me!" "I''m messing with you?" Kelvin quickly caught theb report. He uncrumpled theb report and said to Gilbert earnestly, "Look at this carefully. It has the stamp from the hospital, so I can''t possibly forge it. Also, I got this report from Christopher." Gilbert''s expression grew serious, "You got it from Christopher?'' Chapter 1130 Well-Informed in Obstetrics and Gynecology Chapter 1130 Well-Informed in Obstetrics and Gynecology Chapter 1130 Well-Informed in Obstetrics and Gynecology "Yeah. He suspected that Kisa wasn''t pregnant, so he brought two reporters and forcefully drew a vial of blood from Kisa..." Gilbert narrowed his eyes icily, "Forcefully?" "Hey, that¡¯s not the point. The point is Christopher thought he was smart to test Kisa''s blood, thinking he could prove that her pregnancy was bogus and countersue her for framing Sharon. However, he did not expect Kisa to actually be pregnant. He was dumbfounded." Hearing Kelvin''s words, Gilbert felt his heart race. He finally realized that the woman might actually be pregnant. He hurriedly snatched theb report from Kelvin''s hands. Then, he scrutinized the name and results printed on the report. "Two weeks pregnant?" "Mhm. Two weeks. I suppose even Kisa herself doesn''t know that she''s pregnant; she said she wasn''t pregnant when I was putting on a show with herst night." Then, Kelvin continued with amusement, "Speaking of which, we should thank Christopher. If it weren''t for him, we wouldn''t even have known that Kisa is really pregnant." Gilbert stared intensely at theb report. His hands trembled as they gripped theb report, perhaps due to excitement. Kelvin gazed at his emotional reaction and teased him, "I wonder who said they weren¡¯t anticipating being a father again? Well, don¡¯t get so happy and excited then." "But..." Gilbert quickly tugged on Kelvin¡¯s arm and asked in a panic, "Two nights ago, her stomach bumped onto the corner of the coffee table. Andst night, she fell onto the ground while dealing with Sharon. The child... The child should be fine, right?" Gilbert''s voice grew tense at the end of his sentence. Kelvin watched Gilbert''s excited and nervous expression with his hands in his pockets. He looked as if he was enjoying it. Then, he said in an unhurried manner, "Why are you panicking? It takes time for the embryo to get imnted. When she bumped into the coffee table and fell, the gestational sac probably hadn''t formed, so she didn''t have a miscarriage or bleed. Once her pregnancy has been confirmed, the weeks of pregnancy will have to be calcted from the week she stops getting her period." Hearing Kelvin''s words, Davian touched his nose awkwardly. "Mr. Hoover, I didn''t know you were also well-informed in obstetrics and gynecology?" "Shut up! I''m an all-rounded genius in the medical field. I''m also informed in andrology, you know? The science of male reproductive functions. If you have problems rted to andrology, you coulde to me." Davian''s expression darkened, "I don''t have any problems there." Gilbert gripped theb report and slowly leaned into his chair. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. The excitement he felt earlier on was slowly dissipating. It was reced with a sense of perplexity and solemnity. ''ording to Kelvin''s calction methods, the child was conceived on the night of Valentine''s Day. But I clearly saw Kisa take contraceptive pills that night; because of this, we even got into a huge fight, which ended with me leaving angrily. Then, does the contraceptive pill have any effects on the baby?'' wondered Gilbert At this thought, he turned to Kelvin in panic, "Will the child be affected if she had taken contraceptive pills within that period?" Nope. Since she had gotten pregnant, this shows that the contraceptive pills were either expired or ineffective," Kelvin said. Then, he froze and whispered, "What? Didn''t you two want children? Why did she take the pills, then? Those pills are bad for her. Why''d you let her take them?" Gilbert did not speak. He lowered his gaze and stared at theb report. Kelvin nced at the somber and upset look on Gilbert''s face. Then, he tactfully refrained from pressing further. ''Kisa must''ve taken the pills behind his back,'' he thought. While Kelvin was deep in thought, Gilbert suddenly turned to him, "Don¡¯t tell Kisa about her pregnancy for the time being." Chapter 1131 Chapter 1131 Chapter 1131 You¡¯re Not Fit to be a Father Kelvin was startled. ¡°Why is that? You should tell her so that she can be more mindful throughout her pregnancy.¡± Gilbert shook his head gloomily and said nothing. Kelvin turned to Davian in confusion. However, Davian shook his head to indicate his puzzlement. I¡¯m even more confused than you guys. I still haven¡¯t even figured out if the madam is pregnant or not,¡¯ Davian thought. Kelvin was befuddled as he watched the man¡¯s excited expression turn gloomy. ¡°Gilbert, aren¡¯t you happy that Kisa¡¯s pregnant with your child?¡± This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. ¡°I am,¡± Gilbert muttered. ¡®How could I not be happy? I¡¯ve even dreamed of Kisa bearing another child of mine. This time, I¡¯ll be sure to take care of the two of them. But, these are my thoughts. Seeing Kisa taking contraceptives, I could tell she didn¡¯t want this child. Moreover, that morning, she thoroughly showed how much she hates me and wants to kill me. That¡¯s why this child won¡¯t make her happy but only make her feel troubled. For all t know, she might even cruelly abort the child when the timees. After all, the children have never been important to her. That¡¯s how she was back then and still is now. This is God¡¯s greatest gift to me, so I¡¯ll keep it no matter what,¡¯ he thought. ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr.! Mr. Kooper! Mrs. Kooper Sr¡­¡± Suddenly, shouts came from the courtyard downstairs. Gilbert frowned. ¡®Why does it sound like Christopher Case?¡¯ he wondered. Kelvin walked to the side of the bed and lifted the curtains. A momentter, he said to Gilbert,¡± Christopher really isn¡¯t giving up on saving Sharon. Oh! Speaking of which, Christopher is so biased. It¡¯s no wonder Kisa isn¡¯t close to the Case family. If it was me, I¡¯d be upset too.¡± ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go downstairs.¡± Gilbert folded theb report and carefully ced it in his drawer. Then, he stood up and walked out. Downstairs, Madalyn was looking at Christopher icily. ¡°Why are you causing a ruckus here in the middle of the night?!¡± ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., please drop the charges. What Sharon did was unintentional. I¡¯m begging you, Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡± ¡°Unintentional?¡± Madalyn gritted her teeth angrily. ¡°She killed my precious, unborn grandchild. So what if it was unintentional? She¡¯s going to jail for sure!¡± ¡°Please, Mrs. Kooper Sr.! Since Sharon is Kisa¡¯s sister, please forgive her. I¡¯m begging you,¡± Christopher said as he got down on his knees in front of Madalyn. Madalyn frowned disdainfully. Then, she had two bodyguards force him up. ¡®I don¡¯t like people kneeling in front of me. I¡¯m not dead yet,¡¯ she thought. ¡°Mr. Kooper¡­ Mr. Kooper¡­¡± When Christopher saw Gilberting out of the house, he broke free from the bodyguards and ran up to him. ¡°Mr. Kooper, please drop charges for the sake of Sharon¡¯s love for you. I¡¯m begging you all. Spare her. What she did was unintentional. Mr. Kooper¡­¡± ¡°I heard¡­ You forcefully drew a vial of blood from Kisa,¡± Gilbert said abruptly in an icy tone. Christopher froze and became pale. However, he did not speak. Gilbert shook his head, ¡°You¡¯re not fit to be a father.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°When we were kids, she¡¯d always have bruises on her whenever she came to our house. Back then, I thought she was naughty and got hurt while fighting with other kids. Later on, I learned that you all had hit her. Since you never saw her as your daughter, why would you take her back into the Case family? Were you afraid the media would call you heartless?¡± Chapter 1132 Chapter 1132 Chapter 1132 Falling Asleep While Hugging My Wife In the face of Gilbert¡¯s icy confrontation, Christopher could not say a word. Christopher was reminded of the shabbily-dressed girl that stood in front of his house on a snowy day many years ago. ¡®She had frostbite on her hands and feet while her face and nose had turned red from the cold. She cried out, ¡°dad,¡± and told me her mom was gone. Back then, I did feel bad for her. Since when did that change? Was it when Carolyn called her a b*stard child and said that her mother was an adulteress? She¡¯s said plenty of such things. That¡¯s why I subconsciously thought of her as an unclean b*stard child. My contempt toward her did not change despite the DNA test. Now that I think about it, she didn¡¯t do anything wrong. I just didn¡¯t like her. From the start, I had only thought of Sharon as my child,¡¯ he thought. Gilbert said to him in a cool manner, ¡°Please leave. Even though you¡¯re Kisa¡¯s father, I won¡¯t forgive you for forcefully drawing her blood.¡± ¡°And Sharon¡­¡± ¡°You can continue talking if you want her to be in jail for a few more years.¡± All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Christopher paused and did not dare to continue. ¡°Get lost!¡± Gilbert had an icy expression. ¡°In the future, don¡¯t say you¡¯re Kisa¡¯s father. She never had anything to do with the Case family. As for the food and favors you all had given her over the years, I¡¯II trante them to cash and pay you back. In the future, she won¡¯t owe you all a thing, so don¡¯t try to emotionally ckmail her in the name of family.¡± ¡°Mr¡­¡± ¡°Scram!¡± Christopher felt reluctant. However, he did not dare to say a word, so he could only leave dejectedly. Madalyn snorted icily as she watched Christopher disappear into the night. ¡°How dare he ask me to spare that wench when she killed my unborn great-grandchild. They¡¯re lucky I didn¡¯t get someone to kill her!¡± ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., actually¡­¡± Just as Kelvin wanted to tell Madalyn about Kisa¡¯s pregnancy, Gilbert threw him a re. In the end, Kelvin swallowed his unspoken words. Madalyn turned to him in confusion, ¡°Actually, what?¡± Kelvinughed awkwardly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I was going to say: actually, Gilbert and Kisa are still young, so they could have a child any time.¡± ¡°That¡¯s different.¡± Madalyn sighed, ¡°Of course, I was happy when she got pregnant unexpectedly. But, I wouldn¡¯t force her even if she wasn¡¯t. After all¡­ I never approved of her and Gilbert, so not having a child isn¡¯t exactly a bad thing.¡± Kelvin nced at Madalyn before ncing at Gilbert. ¡®The Kooper family is soplicated. One of them wants to hide the fact that his wife is pregnant, while the other says that she doesn¡¯t approve of her grandson being with this granddaughter-inw and that it isn¡¯t a bad thing that they don¡¯t have children. Sigh! I can¡¯t understand them,¡¯ he thought. Kelvin stretched and smiled, ¡°it¡¯s gettingte, so I¡¯ll be leaving. Goodnight, Grandma. Goodnight, Gilbert.¡± ¡°Mm Gilbert nodded and went to help Madalyn. Right after Kelvin had left, Davian quickly caught up to him. ¡°Mr Hoover, aren¡¯t we getting some drinks?¡± Davian tugged on Kelvin as they walked out of the courtyard. Kelvin yawned, ¡°I¡¯m not up for it anymore. It¡¯s cold tonight. It¡¯ll be nice to fall asleep while hugging my wife. You can go for drinks yourself.¡± Kelvin said and got into the car. Davian pouted. Liar! He got me excited for nothing. I thought someone was going to have drinks with me tonight. Hmph! He¡¯s bullying a single man!¡¯ he thought. ¡°Come on, Grandma. Let¡¯s go inside.¡± While Gilbert was helping Madalyn into the house, a bodyguard suddenly came running toward them. Chapter 1133 Chapter 1133 Chapter 1133 A Mysterious Letter ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr., there¡¯s a letter for you.¡± Madalyn stopped walking, then she turned to the bodyguard in confusion. ¡°A letter? What letter?¡± George also looked confused. ¡°Who writes letters these days?¡± Then, he turned to the bodyguard and said, ¡°Where did the lettere from?¡± This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I don¡¯t know. An hour ago, somebody slid it into my house. I saw that the letter was addressed to Mrs. Kooper Sr., so I quickly sent it over.¡± ¡°Someone slid it into your house?¡± George grew even more skeptical. ¡°That means the person knows you¡¯re a bodyguard of the Kooper family. Who could that person be?¡± ¡°Let me take a look at the letter first.¡± Just as Madalyn was about to take the envelope, Gilbert promptly reached out and took it instead. ¡°For safety purposes, I¡¯ll look at it first.¡± ¡®There¡¯s something weird about this. It might be a trap,¡¯ he thought. Madalyn immediately looked at Gilbert anxiously, ¡°Be careful then. Throw it away the moment something doesn¡¯t feel right.¡± Gilbert burst outughing. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Grandma. It isn¡¯t that scary.¡± Then, he opened the envelope. Just as he opened the envelope, something fell out. Gilbert was startled. He subconsciously looked down and saw a metal bookmark. He picked it up and scrutinized it. The bookmark was ordinary-looking, slightly old-fashioned, and did not look like it belonged in this era. Apart from that, its sides were also worn. Gilbert was so busy scrutinizing the bookmark he did not notice Madalyn tearing up. Meanwhile, George looked shocked. ¡°Isn¡¯t¡­ Isn¡¯t this Master David¡¯s favorite bookmark?¡± ¡°Master David?¡± Gilbert turned to George in confusion. Madalyn quickly snatched the bookmark and unopened letter from Gilbert¡¯s hands. ¡°Is it David?¡± she looked at the bookmark emotionally. Tears streamed down her face. ¡°It really is David. This really is his bookmark. It¡¯s the bookmark I gave him years ago. There are even some blemishes on it. He¡­ He¡¯s actually still alive.¡± Gilbert was confused. ¡°Grandma¡­¡± *Just as Gilbert was about to speak, George quickly pulled him aside and whispered, ¡°Save the questions forter, young master. After Master David got sent abroad back then, we never heard from him again. Some say he died in and far from home, and that¡¯s why Mrs. Kooper Sr. feels a little guilty and regretful toward him. All that said, let her take a breather.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why did Jensen get sent abroad?¡± ¡°Sigh. Mrs. Kooper Sr. actually felt tormented when she sent young master Jensen abroad. However, she was more worried seeing you two turn against each other while fighting over the inheritance. That¡¯s why she heartlessly sent young master Jensen away.¡± He continued, ¡°However, she learned her lesson from master Davian. After sending young master Jensen abroad, she got someone to take care of his matters abroad. She got him to attend the best school abroad and live the best life. And, every year, she¡¯d ask her subordinates there to report how young master Jensen was doing. She would only feel at ease after knowing that young master Jensen was doing fine.¡± Gilbert stood unmoving and not startled. It was only then he finally fully understood the reason Jensen. was sent abroad years ago, Gilbert looked at his grandmother, and he did not know what he was feeling. ¡®Grandma really took everything into consideration for Jensen. She put his safety and well-being first. However, she still ended up hurting him. Back then, Jensen and I had such a good rtionship. If Jensen hadn¡¯t got sent abroad, would we still end up this way?¡¯ he wondered. Madalyn put away the bookmark and hurriedly opened the letter. Chapter 1134 Chapter 1134 Chapter 1134 The Fake Letter The familiar handwriting came into view, and Madalyn burst into tears. She looked at the contents of the letter eagerly and said in a trembling voice, ¡°D-David¡­ David is still¡­ He¡¯s still alive¡­¡± Gilbert looked at Madalyn and walked over after a while. Then, he softly asked, ¡°What did the letter say?¡± Madalyn held it in her hands and said while sobbing, ¡°He asked me to withdraw thewsuit and let Sharon go.¡± Gilbert frowned fiercely. What kind of rtionship does David have with the Case family? Why did he deliberately write a letter to Grandma, asking her to let Sharon go? He felt that there was something strange going on. ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t you think that the letter could be fake? Someone from the Case family could have forged it to save Sharon.¡± ¡°No!¡± Madalyn shook her head hastily and opened the letter to reread it. ¡°Only your uncle owned this bookmark. The handwriting on this letter is also your uncle¡¯s handwriting. I should know; I taught him how to write¡­¡± When Madalyn said that, she started to choke up again. ¡°I know the little details in his handwriting, so I know this is his at a nce. It isn¡¯t fake, Gilbert. This letter was written by your uncle David. Sob. I didn¡¯t expect him to still be alive after all these years.¡± Gilbert patted Madalyn¡¯s shoulder lightly and tried tofort her, ¡°It¡¯s good that he¡¯s still alive. You can slowlypensate him for those years if there¡¯s a chance.¡± Although he said that, he still had some doubts. ¡®If uncle David really wrote this letter, it would mean that he and the Case family have always been in touch. Otherwise, why would he write a letter to save Sharon? But, where exactly is he hiding?¡± Gilbert thought, looking at the letter and bookmark in Madalyn¡¯s hands. On the side of the road outside the courtyard, Adrien looked away. He took a puff of his cigarette and tossed it out the window. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± he said to the driver in a low voice. The bted guilt and remorse from Madalyn now seemed ironic and ridiculous. ¡®What¡¯s the use ofpensating me? I¡¯ll never be able to get back what I lost,¡¯ he thought. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. When Kisa woke up in the morning, she saw Jolina lying her head in her arms at the window, staring below. She walked over suspiciously and asked, ¡°What are you looking at?¡± ¡°It¡¯s strange. Didn¡¯t you sayst night that your fake pregnancy will be made public soon? But, when I checked the news this morning, I didn¡¯t see any reports about your fake pregnancy. The major entertainment tforms are still circting the news that Sharon had viciously caused you to have a miscarriage. I¡¯ve looked out the window for a long time now, but I don¡¯t see any reporters.¡± Kisa also thought that it was strange after hearing that. ¡®Christopher would have definitely announced that my pregnancy was fake if he wanted to save Sharon. It¡¯s been a night, but why is there no sound from the entertainment circle? Logically speaking, this is supposed to be sensational news and should have caused a ruckus in the entertainment industry. Could it be that¡­ Christopher had a change of heart?¡± Thinking of this, Kisa shook her head mockingly. That¡¯s impossible. He ruthlessly drew a tube of blood out of me and wanted to kill me to avenge Sharon yesterday. There¡¯s no way that so-called father of mine. would have a change of heart that quickly.¡± *Other news is stating that Mrs. Kooper Sr. had withdrawn thewsuit,¡± Jolina said. Kisa was startled.¡± What? Grandma withdrew thewsuit?¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s all over the news.¡± Kisa frowned. ¡®This doesn¡¯t seem like something she would do. Did Christopher threaten her with the evidence he has of my fake pregnancy? But¡­ Grandma hates me. If she knew that the pregnancy was fake, she would¡¯ve probably been so angry that she would have killed me. Why would she feel threatened by Christopher? Just as she was thinking of that, there was a knock on the door. Chapter 1135 Chapter 1135 Chapter 1135 You Know How to Hide Jolina quickly ran to open the door. However, she was being cautious. She looked through the peephole before opening the door. ¡°Huh? Why is he here?!¡± she eximed. ¡°Who is it?¡± Kisa was puzzled. Jolina did not open the door for a long while. She turned around, leaned against the door, and said to Kisa, ¡°It¡¯s Peter.¡± Kisa was taken aback, ¡°Peter???¡± She thought that it would be a reporter or Gilbert, not Peter. Thinking of Gilbert, a hint of self-mockery appeared in her heart. Subconsciously, she was still hoping that Gilbert woulde and see her. ¡°Kisa, what should I do? Why is he here?¡± The knock on the door continued, getting louder and angrier each time. Kisa walked over with a smile and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared. I¡¯ll open the door, and you will stay behind me.¡± Jolina nodded and walked behind her. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Kisa was not afraid of Peter. Although he has a bad temper, he isn¡¯t bad at heart. On the contrary, he¡¯s rather warm and loving sometimes. Kisa had noticed that when she went to Hillsbyst time. ¡®He just doesn¡¯t know how to express himself,¡¯ she thought and opened the door. Peter¡¯s gloomy yet handsome face appeared in front of the two. ¡°Why the hell did it take you ages to answer the door?!¡± The man growled violently. ¡°This is my ce. You should be grateful that I even decided to open the door,¡¯ Kisa said expressionlessly. Peter ignored her. His gaze fell onto Jolina. ¡°You really know how to hide, huh? Hiding behind her.¡± Jolina¡¯s face turned cold. ¡°I can stand wherever I like. It has nothing to do with you, and you have no right to say I¡¯m hiding.¡± After she finished speaking, she turned and walked into the house. Peter frowned and followed her. ¡°I¡¯m going back to Oceanville the day after tomorrow. I¡¯m asking you again; do you want toe with me?¡± He asked, his voice inexplicably softened. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter how many times you ask. The answer will always be the same: No.¡± Jolina¡¯s face looked calm, but her tone was firm. Peter stood in the living room. His hands were tightly clenched, and his whole body was tense with anger. Kisa rolled her eyes and quickly closed the door. She then walked over and asked with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t be mad. It¡¯s still early. Have you had breakfast yet?¡± Peter stared at Jolina. without a word. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the kitchen and make some breakfast. You guys stay here and chat.¡± When Kisa entered the kitchen, she saw that Jolina had already cooked up some bacon, eggs, and a few pieces of toast, which was enough for the three of them. She then brought out the food and called them over to have breakfast. Jolina ignored Peter and went straight to the dining table to help Kisa serve the food. Kisa looked at Peter, who looked like he was in over his head in the living room, and amusedly said, ¡°I don¡¯t understand why you keep forcing Jolina to go back with you. It¡¯s not like you won¡¯te back. here.¡± Peter was upset. He did not tell them that he was going back to Oceanville because his parents had arranged a blind date for him. Peter did not want to go on the blind date. He wanted Jolina to meet his parents so that they would stop arranging blind dates for him. However, Jolina refused to go back with him no matter what. ¡°Come here and have breakfast. If you have something on your mind, we can discuss it. Jolina made bacon and eggs. Look, she grabbed us each a te of food.¡± Jolina was taken aback. ¡®I unconsciously grabbed the tes because I saw that there were three of them on the side. I didn¡¯t grab it for Peter,¡¯ she thought. Just as she was thinking about that, Peter strode over. Kisa handed him the te of food, and the three of them sat down to eat. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Chapter 1136 Chapter 1136 Chapter 1136 Don¡¯t Be Jealous Kisa frowned. ¡®Who is it this time? Jolina and Peter looked at her with faces full of suspicion. ¡°You guys go ahead. I¡¯ll go get the door,¡± she chuckled. When she opened the door, her heart trembled. It was not just anyone at the door; it was Gilbert. She had not seen him for two days after their morning fight. However, it felt like she had not seen him for a long, long time. The man¡¯s face was pale, and there was no sign of any emotion. ¡°What brings you here?¡± Kisa asked in a low voice. With that said, she turned around and walked into the house. Gilbert followed her silently. ¡°Yo, Mr. Kooper, you¡¯re here too?¡± Hearing Peter¡¯s voice, Gilbert narrowed his eyes instantly and frowned in displeasure. He did not expect her house to be so lively. Fortunately, Jolina was there. Otherwise, Gilbert¡¯s thoughts would be all over the ce again, seeing Peter in her house, single and lonely. As if he was afraid that Gilbert would rob him of his food, Peter quickly bit into each piece of bacon, egg, and toast on his te. Kisa watched as he did that and was dumbfounded. She did not understand his actions. Jolina, on the other hand, snorted contemptuously. Gilbert nced lightly at the te of food in front of Peter. ¡°Is there any extra? I want the exact same thing as him,¡± he said. Kisa was stunned. She shook her head and said, ¡°No, we only have enough for three.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face darkened. Peter, however, was d that no other men got to eat what Jolina had made. Seeing that Gilbert was mad, Jolina hurriedly pushed her te of bacon and eggs to him and said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, I haven¡¯t touched these yet. You can have it if you¡¯re hungry.¡± Peter frowned fiercely. He quickly pushed the te to him and said, ¡°Mr. Kooper must¡¯ve eaten since you came here sote. But, you should eat it since you¡¯re so skinny!¡± Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. As he said that, he looked at Gilbert and said, ¡°A man like you wouldn¡¯t bepeting for food with a woman, would you?¡± Gilbert leaned back on the chair, nced at him coldly, and then at two pieces of toast Peter had bit into. ¨C I didn¡¯t know that the second son of the Webb family would be so stingy that he had to guard his toast. People would think this was the first time you¡¯ve ever had toast,¡± he snorted. Peter picked up the toast and took a bite triumphantly, ¡°Don¡¯t be jealous just because you don¡¯t have one.¡± Kisa felt awkward. She could not figure out what the men were thinking. I can¡¯t believe they¡¯re fighting over some toast. She then gave Gilbert two pieces of toast and said, ¡°Here, you can have mine. I¡¯m not hungry.¡± But Gilbert gave them back instantly. ¡°You eat it. I don¡¯t want to,¡± he said. Jolina nced at the two of them, feeling a little embarrassed. If I had known this many people would show up, I would have made more food,¡¯ she thought. Hearing what the man had said, Kisa did not try to refute it and continued to eat breakfast. There was a hint of awkwardness in the air. Jolina hung her head without saying a word, feeling uneasy. Only Peter was feasting like normal. No one spoke for a long time. Kisa could not take it anymore. So, she looked at Peter and said, ¡°Are there any fun things to do in Oceanville?¡± ¡°There are tons of interesting things to do and ces to go there. The scenery is also pretty amazing,¡± Peter replied, raising his eyebrows as he looked at her. ¡°Why? Are you nning to go there?¡± ¡°Well, I may be going there soon. I hope you can take me in, Mr. Webb.¡± Chapter 1137 Chapter 1137 Chapter 1137 Gilbert Is Annoying Gilbert frowned and was displeased. ¡®If she wants to go to Oceanville, then just go. Why does she need Peter to take her in? Why does it sound like she¡¯s flirting with him? ¡°Take you in?¡± Peter was stunned for a moment. ¡°Sure, my farmily owns many hotels in Oceanville. You can stay wherever you like,¡± he said boldly. ¡°Would it be okay if I stay at your ce for a few days? I want to meet Mr. Webb Sr.¡± Peter was dumbstruck once again. Before he could say anything, Gilbert suddenly voiced out coldly, ¡°It wouldn¡¯t be right for you, a married woman, to stay at the Webb family residence. I¡¯m going there for some business soon. You should juste with me. We can stay at a hotel.¡± ¡°No, a hotel isn¡¯t safe. I want to stay at the Webb residence and visit Mr. Webb Sr.,¡± she said, looking at Peter. ¡°I heard that the Webb residence is huge and surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery must be great. Your family wouldn¡¯tin if I stayed at your ce for a few days, would they?¡± Kisa knew from the letter that thest ce David went to was the Webb residence. She had to go to the Webb residence if she wanted to find out where David was. She was not close with the Webb family, so she could only rely on her rtionship with Peter to go there for a few days. Although Peter did not understand why she insisted on staying there, he still boldly said, ¡°Yeah. My house is massive, and there are many guest rooms. So, it¡¯s no problem for you to stay there. But, it may be a little inconvenient if youe alone. The elders in my family would think that we¡¯re together. It would be much better to have someone elsee, like¡­¡± As he spoke, he nced at Jolina. Before he could continue, Gilbert suddenly said expressionlessly, ¡°I will go with her when the time comes. ¡°Peter choked. ¡°You? Why would you go? I¡¯m not weing you to our house. Just go to a hotel.¡± ¡°Well, your dad is. He even invited me to your ce. If you have any objections, go take it up with your dad.¡± Peter red at him resentfully. He actually did not mind Gilbert staying at his house. After all, his ce was huge and could fit many people. He was going to use what he said as an excuse and suggest Jolina toe along. ¡®Now that he¡¯s said that, how could I ask Jolina toe?! Ugh! Gilbert Kooper is so annoying! He thought. Peter then looked at Jolina and said, ¡°They¡¯re bothing to my ce, so you shoulde too.¡± Jolina shook her head and replied, ¡°No, I have work to do.¡± Peter frowned, and his face darkened. ¡°That settles it then, Mr. Webb. Don¡¯t go sending me to a hotel when the timees!¡± Kisa hurriedly said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Kooper ising too, right? There¡¯s nothing for you to be afraid of now that he will be around.¡± Kisa pursed her lips. ¡®But I never intended to go there with him. Maybe there will be some changes,¡¯ she thought. Peter kept staring at Jolina, depressed. When she took herst bite of food, he got up and pulled her up. as well. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go out and have a talk.¡± Jolina resisted, however. ¡°I have nothing to talk about with you.¡± Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. .¡±Even so, let¡¯s go. Do you want to disturb their little reunion?¡± It worked. Jolina was shocked. She hurriedly got up and followed Peter outside. Soon, only Kisa and Gilbert were left in the house. Chapter 1138 Chapter 1138 Chapter 1138 The Daughter-In-Law of The Kooper Family Gilbert stayed quiet, and the only sound in the room was the sound of Kisa eating. Kisa felt that the atmosphere was getting even more awkward and depressing as she ate. She swallowed the food and asked, ¡°Why did you show up here?¡± After their fight, their rtionship became a little tense. She did not know what to say to him at that moment. Gilbert looked at his phone with his head down and said, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you when you finish your food.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and stopped talking. She lowered her head and continued eating breakfast. She finished her toast, bacon, and eggs and got up to clean the dishes, ignoring the man beside him. Gilbert watched her grab the tes and got up to follow her into the kitchen after a while. Leaning against the door, he saw her washing the dishes in silence. After Kisa was done, he suddenly said, ¡°Come back to the Kooper residence with meter.¡± Kisa froze when she was in the middle of putting the tes away. ¡°No, I¡¯m fine here,¡± she said softly. She had already searched David¡¯s room and found the clues she was looking for. There was no need for her to go back to the Kooper residence. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. ¡°What do you mean you¡¯re fine here?¡± Gilbert sneered. ¡°Everyone knows that you are the daughter-in- law of the Kooper family. There were lots of noise about your ¡®miscarriage, and now you¡¯ve suddenly moved back to your single apartment. What would the media say about me? What about the Kooper family?¡± Kisa lowered her gaze, holding the sides of the te tightly. Turns out he¡¯s just here because his reputation and family name are at stake.¡¯ She pursed her lips and calmly said, ¡°You know that the miscarriage¡¯ was fake. I just wanted to teach Sharon a lesson.¡± ¡°But, the media doesn¡¯t know that. They would only say that I¡¯m a heartless and ungrateful human being and that the Kooper family only cares about the child in your belly, not you. You must return to the Kooper residence, so our reputation won¡¯t be tarnished.¡± Kisa took a short breath and said coolly, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go back to the Kooper residence.¡± ¡®Didn¡¯t he think that I would take revenge on him? Why would he still want me to go back to the Kooper residence? Isn¡¯t he afraid that I will secretly trick him?¡± After tidying up the house briefly, Gilbert took Kisa back to the Kooper residence. When she returned home, Madalyn¡¯s face darkened. It just so happened that the servant was cleaning up the non-slip mat they hadid in the bathroom before. Seeing this, Gilbert said softly, ¡°Just leave it.¡± ¡°Why?! The child is gone!¡± Madalyn said in a muffled voice with a hint of distress. It seemed that Madalyn still did not know that Kisa¡¯s pregnancy was fake. ¡®That¡¯s weird,¡¯ Kisa thought. ¡®Christopher went through all that trouble to draw my blood. There¡¯s no way he wouldn¡¯t use it. Why is there still no news about my fake pregnancy? She then asked Madalyn, ¡°I read the news this morning, and it seems you have withdrawn thewsuit. Why?¡± There was no doubt that Madalyn had looked forward to the ¡®child¡¯ in Kisa¡¯s womb. Now that the ¡®child¡¯ was gone, Madalyn¡¯s grief was real. When they were at the hospital, Madalyn was so angry that she wanted to kill Sharon right then and there. Hence, the sudden retraction of thewsuit was a strange move. But, Madalyn did not answer her question. ¡°I can withdraw thewsuit however I want. Why would I have to consult you about it?¡± Kisa¡¯s face darkened. ¡°I don¡¯t care what you do, but I lost my ¡®child¡¯ because of Sharon. How could you forgive her on behalf of me?!¡± Chapter 1139 Chapter 1139 Chapter 1139 Good Thing I¡¯m Not Pregnant ¡°You lost your child, but I lost my great-grandchild. I didn¡¯t even me you for not protecting them. It¡¯s better if you shut up before you question me,¡± Madalyn said. Kisa stared at her heavily while secretly clenching her hands. To her, Madalyn used to be extremely open-minded and knew right from wrong. However, the more she hated Kisa, the more unreasonable she became. ¡°Before you me others, you should ask yourself why you didn¡¯t protect your own child.¡± Madalyn got up with the help of her cane, walked slowly in front of her, and said with a cold face, ¡°I told you a long time ago not to go on set. I told you that you should stay home and take care of yourself for the baby, but you didn¡¯t listen. You knew that Sharon had always been at odds with you. You should have kept your guard up, but you still fell for her tricks. The child is gone mainly because of you. If you think Sharon shouldn¡¯t be forgiven, then you shouldn¡¯t be forgiven too.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart was full of ridicule. Madalyn¡¯s principles were distorted because of her hatred. ¡°Good thing I¡¯m not pregnant,¡± Kisa sneered. ¡°What did you say?¡± Madalyn¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Being pregnant with a Kooper is so awful. You have to be careful and make no mistakes because the mother would be the one to me. Whoever gets pregnant with a Kooper must be so unlucky!¡± ¡°Enough! Go upstairs!¡± As soon as Kisa finished speaking, Gilbert dragged her up the stairs. Madalyn hurriedly grabbed her and asked, ¡°What are you talking about? Tell me, what did you mean by ¡®good thing you¡¯re not pregnant¡¯? Were you not pregnant?¡± Before Kisa could speak, Gilbert voiced out, ¡°What she means is that she had a miscarriage and isn¡¯t pregnant anymore.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Madalyn looked at Kisa with a sharp gaze. Kisa did not want to pretend she was pregnant with Gilbert¡¯s child anymore. She wanted to tell Madalyn the truth, but Gilbert red at her with a cold. look. His gaze was cruel and threatening. Kisa pursed her lips and decided to swallow her words. ¡°Alright, Grandma. I¡¯ll take Kisa upstairs. It wouldn¡¯t be good for our family reputation if she¡¯s living. outside alone.¡± He then looked at the servant who was still cleaning the mat and said, ¡°Leave all the non- slip mats the way they are in this house. Andrew and Ada go to the toilet often. Just leave the mats in the bathroom in case they slip.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Kooper.¡± After giving his orders, Gilbert hurried upstairs with Kisa and closed the door when they entered the room. Kisa leaned against the door, looked at the man standing in the room with his back to her, and asked, Why didn¡¯t you let me tell her that I wasn¡¯t actually pregnant? The ¡®child¡¯ is gone anyway.¡± ¡°She¡¯s suffering from the pain of losing her great-grandchild. If you tell her that you weren¡¯t actually pregnant, she will be not only disappointed and in pain but also furious. Who will be responsible for her if she falls ill due to all the intense emotions?¡± Gilbert sat on the sofa and said softly.. ¡°Then, you shouldn¡¯t have brought me back here. Grandma and I are ipatible. She¡¯ll just be making me mad.¡± ¡°I told you, I brought you here to maintain our family name. You can go wherever you want after the limelight of this matter passes,¡± Gilbert said and nced at her belly. She was wearing a pair of skinny jeans, a pink sweater, and high-heeled leather shoes about five centimeters tall. The tight-fitting pants outlined her figure perfectly. Her t tummy was visible, and she did not look like someone who was recently pregnant. Gilbert frowned slightly.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Chapter 1140 Chapter 1140 Chapter 1140 Don¡¯t Wear Pants Like These Anymore Kisa noticed that Gilbert was staring at her waist, and the expression on his face was not looking good. Kisa was baffled. She then put her sweater down ufortably as she asked him, ¡°What are you looking at?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t wear pants like these anymore!¡± The man finally spoke, and his tone sounded a littlemanding. ¡°And, don¡¯t ever wear heels again!¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°They don¡¯t look good!¡± Kisa immediately got frustrated. She thought she looked really good in them. ¡°I¡¯m not wearing that for your eyes anyway. Just look away if you don¡¯t like it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not blind. Where else could I be looking if you keep walking in front of me?¡± Gilbert said tly before he continued judging her outfit. ¡°Anyway, just stop wearing pants like these from now on. It¡¯s so tight, and your legs look like they can barely fit in there. Also, why are you wearing heels when you¡¯re already so tall? Not only that the heels don¡¯t look good, but they¡¯re very noisy when you walk too.¡± Kisa¡¯s expression darkened. ¡®Those are his reason? ¡®He can just look away if he doesn¡¯t like it. Who is he to tell me what to wear?¡± Suddenly, somebody knocked on the door behind her. Kisa was shocked. Then, she turned around and opened the door.. She saw Davian standing outside the door with a few bags in his hands. ¡°Mr. Kooper, I got what you wanted. Please have a look.¡± ¡°Okay. Hand them to my wife.¡± Davian quickly passed the bags to Kisa after hearing what Gilbert said. Kisa looked at Gilbert strangely. ¡°What are these?¡± ¡°Clothes. You¡¯re going to wear these from now on. Forget about your old clothes. They¡¯re too ugly.¡± ¡°Honestly, just look away.¡± Kisa could not help but refute him. Then, she opened the bags curiously. Two of those bags were shoes, and there were five pairs of them in total. Kisa dumped all the shoe boxes out. She opened them and found out that all of them were t shoes. Some of the designs were forte fall, and some were for winter. There were both thin and thick soles. However, all of the shoes looked very soft and light. ¡°Why did you buy me so many pairs of shoes?¡± Kisa looked curiously at the man, who was sitting on the couch. Gilbert leaned on the sofa while crossing his legszily. He tly said, ¡°They¡¯re for you to wear, of course. You¡¯re not allowed to wear heels anymore.¡± ¡°Who do you think you are?¡± Kisa was annoyed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me wearing heels?¡± Even though Kisa was not crazy about heels, she would feel like wearing them from time to time. Besides, she thought that some of her outfits could go very well with the heels. Most importantly, she hated the man¡¯smanding tone. Gilbert nced at her. ¡°I told you that heels are very noisy. I don¡¯t like them.¡± Kisa ignored him and went to check the other bags. The other bags were all filled with clothes. The clothes were right for the season they were in, but¡­. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. They looked hideous. She could stand the oversized dresses, but the designs of the pants and tops were simply uneptable for her. They looked like they were made for pregnant women. She just found them very tacky and ugly. She put the clothes back into the bag and ced them aside. ¡°Um. Thanks for the consideration, but I¡¯m not going to wear these clothes. You should give them to somebody else.¡± Gilbert immediately furrowed his brows. ¡°I bought them for you, so wear them. They look so much better than your own clothes.¡± ¡®Hmph! His taste¡­¡± Kisa did not feel like arguing with him as she handed the bags to him ¡°See for yourself. Please pick any clothes in here that look better than my own clothes. I¡¯ll wear them without resisting if you could find any.¡± Gilbert sat up from the couch. He took the bags from her and started looking at the clothes. Then, he brought his brows together and looked at Davian. Chapter 1141 Chapter 1141 Chapter 1141 Maternity Clothes ¡°Are these the clothes I asked you to buy?¡± Davian was shocked. ¡°Yes, Mr. Kooper. Is something wrong?¡± Gilbert asked him to buy some clothes and shoes for a pregnant woman. So, Davian went to a maternity store in a mall and asked the shopkeeper to pick the clothes for him. He figured that his taste might be bad, so he put his trust in the shopkeeper instead. ¡®But, why does Mr. and Mrs. Kooper look very unhappy with the clothes?¡¯ Gilbert grabbed the bags of clothes and threw them at him. ¡°They¡¯re all either ck or gray. Look at how old-fashioned the designs are and how big the dresses are! I gave you an order. Why can¡¯t you just put some effort into it, huh?¡± Davian lowered his head as Gilbert went off at him. Then, he softly said, ¡°I tried. I just thought that I might have bad taste in fashion. So, I told the shopkeepers to pick them for me, and I paid for everything.¡± ¡°The shopkeepers probably gave you all the designs that nobody wants.¡± Then, Davian said with his eyes wide open, ¡°I-It can¡¯t be.¡± ¡®Oh, God! ¡®It might be true!¡¯ He suddenly remembered he heard another customer asking the cashier if the off-season collections were on a big sale when he left the maternity store. It turned out that the shopkeepers picked all the old designs and charged him the original price for everything. ¡°Ugh! They scammed me!¡¯ Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Davian picked up the clothes and said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, please give me some time. I¡¯ll get some new ones for Mrs. Kooper.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t think I can trust you anymore. I¡¯ll do it myself. Gilbert spoke as he stood up and walked outside. Kisa was confused. ¡°What are you guys doing? I have my own clothes. I don¡¯t need any new ones.¡± ¡®What¡¯s wrong with Gilbert? Why does he keep wanting to buy me new clothes?¡± Gilbert stood at the door. Then, he turned his head and said, ¡°You should change everything that you¡¯re wearing right now. After all, everybody else thinks that you just had a miscarriage. You¡¯re supposed to be resting at home, so don¡¯t go anywhere today. Just change into some loungewear. And, I don¡¯t want to see you wearing heels at all these days!¡± Gilbert said in amanding tone before he left with Davian, leaving Kisa standing confusedly in the room. ¡®What¡¯s going on? ¡®Since when did Gilbert start caring so much about what I wear? ¡®This is ridiculous!¡± Gilbert bought new shoes and clothes for her and demanded a lot about how she should dress. However, he still spoke to her in a very cold tone. After all, everything changed after that morning. Kisa did not know if she got too used to the gentle and thoughtful side of him those days. But, she felt a little ufortable with how indifferent and aloof he got. She just had a bitter feeling deep down. Kisa suppressed the emotion she should not have. Then, she took off her shoes and changed into her loungewear before shey on her bed. She had no idea what made drained her and made her so tired these two days, but she would fall asleep almost instantly whenever shey on a bed. She started wandering into her dream after less than two minutes after she got onto her bed. In the car. Davian confusedly asked, ¡°Mr. Kooper, why don¡¯t you just tell Mrs. Kooper that she¡¯s pregnant directly? That way, you can bring her along and pick the maternity wear with her.¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and did not say anything. He badly wanted to tell her about this good news too, but what happened that morning was still bothering him. He was worried that Kisa might find their new baby troubling, and he wanted Kisa to look forward to giving birth to that baby. And, he was very afraid that Kisa would try to get rid of the baby.. So, he decided to wait. He figured that Kisa would form a connection with the baby growing inside of her, and she would not then. have the heart to get an abortion by At the entrance of the detention center.

Christopher rubbed his hands and anxiously said, ¡°It¡¯s already been an hour. Why is she still inside?¡± Then, Carolyn said to him scornfully, ¡°How am I supposed to know? You¡¯re really good for nothing! I¡¯m d that Mr. Tanner stepped in to help us this time. Otherwise, I can¡¯t imagine what kind of things Sharon has to go through in there.¡± Christopher arched his brows. ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr. was the one who dropped the charges.

You couldn¡¯t get me out of there either way.¡± Sharon looked at him without attempting to hide how much she looked down on him. ¡°Please don¡¯t tell anybody that you¡¯re my dad from now on. I don¡¯t want to have such a useless and ipetent man to be my father. Also, I strongly support mom divorcing you. Mr. Tanner is so much better than you, and I¡¯m sure that mom will be a lot happier after she gets together with him.¡± Christopher was about to explode with rage after he heard what his daughter said. Then, Carolyn scoffed at him before she spoke to Adrien with a lovely smile on her face. ¡°Mr. Tanner, what brought you here?¡± ¡°I came to pick up you and Sharon. I¡¯ve booked us a table at a restaurant. Sharon just got released, and I figured that we should have a meal together to get rid of the bad luck.¡± ¡°Yeah! You¡¯re right!¡± Carolyn nodded her head approvingly, and she began to like Adrien even more. Then, she scoffed and said to Christopher coldly, ¡°Look at how thoughtful Mr. Tanner is. He¡¯s doing so many things for Sharon. Your social status, financial ability, and mindfulness are just nowhere comparable to Mr. Tanner.¡± ¡°Spot on, mom. Let¡¯s stop wasting our time on him. We should get into Mr. Tanner¡¯s car now.¡± Sharon spoke as she grabbed Carolyn¡¯s arm and got into the car without even turning her head back. Christopher got so mad that his eyes turned red. Adrien lifted the edge of his lips coldly. Then, he walked toward Christopher and intentionally asked, ¡± How does it feel to have your wife and daughter taken away from you? Hm?¡± Christopher red at him. Then, he lifted his fist and swung it at Adrien. Christopher was already in his fifties. He was a little fat and clumsy. However, Adrien kept himself in very good shape, and he was very agile. Adrien dodged the punch easily. He stuck his foot forward and tripped Christopher, making Christopher fall on his face. Adrien looked at Christopher, who was lying on the ground, as if he was a piece of trash scornfully. Then, he turned around and got into his car. ¡®Hmph! ¡®Is that woman blind? Why would she even marry a man like this?¡¯ Christopher was filled with hatred! He hated how the man stole the love of his life from him and hated how disloyal his love was. He decided to take revenge on their daughter instead since the woman was no longer around. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. He was going to get all of them. Every single one! Christopher screamed in frustration pathetically as he watched the car drive away. He suddenly remembered how the hospital forcefully took Kisa¡¯s blood yesterday. Then, he realized how ridiculous and ironic his actions were. The daughter he did everything he could to save turned out to be an ungrateful person who would rather call another man her father. However, he was too ashamed to ask for the daughter¡¯s forgiveness, whom he had wronged all this time. Heh. I did so much just to lose everything I have.¡± Kisa had a very good sleep. And, she had no idea if it was because she had been too tired recently, but she experienced many weird things in her dreams. This time, she dreamed that a little snake was wrapped around her leg, and she just could not get it off her no matter how hard she tried. She was frightened, and she woke up. It was already one in the afternoon when she looked at the time. She was starving. She got out of her bed and stretched herself. Then, she went downstairs to look for something to eat and found that there was something on the couch. It surprised her as she trotted toward the couch. Then, she saw a lot of clothes folded perfectly on the couch. ¡®That¡¯s odd. There was nothing on the couch before I slept. ¡®Was Gilbert here?¡¯ Chapter 1144 Chapter 1144 Chapter 1144 Not Entirely Alone She randomly grabbed a shirt to have a look. It was a pink, long-sleeved fairy dress. The material of the dress was thick, and the style was quite nice too. Kisa immediately tried on the dress. She looked good in it. Although it was a loose-fitting dress, she did not look chubby in it. She looked gentle and rxed in the dress. Kisa then took one of the pairs of shoes that Gilbert had bought in the morning. She looked quite pretty in that dress with the t shoes on. Kisa then looked through the other clothes. The design and color of the clothes were all very beautiful. They were a lot nicer than the clothes she saw in the morning. ¡®I¡¯m not sure why he suddenly bought me these clothes. But, since he bought them for me, I¡¯ll just put them on. Just so that he doesn¡¯t pick on me.¡¯ She then went downstairs. Madalyn was watching a Broadway show. Kisa stayed silent as she quietly walked toward the outside. She decided to eat out to avoid arguing with Madalyn. Just after she took a few steps, the maid suddenly stopped her. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, you¡¯re awake.¡± Kisa nodded. She then continued to walk out. The maid hurriedly said, ¡°Mr. Kooper ordered us to make bone broth. He told us to serve you that once you¡¯re awake. So, Mrs. Kooper, please drink it before you go out.¡± Kisa was stunned for a moment. ¡®Didn¡¯t Gilbert and I quarrel? Why did he still order the maid to make me bone broth? ¡®He bought me clothes and shoes. And, he even asked the maid to make me a bone broth. What¡¯s he trying to do? ¡®Isn¡¯t he still angry with me? Shouldn¡¯t he just ignore me?¡¯ Just when she was thinking to herself, the maid had already put the bone broth on the dining table. There were two freshly prepared tuna sandwiches too. Her appetite was built up just by looking at them. Kisa was very hungry. She swallowed as she thought, ¡®I¡¯ll just eat at home.¡± ¡°Well, don¡¯t overthink it. The bone broth was for you to replenish your body. You just had a miscarriage, right? Gilbert said we have to make bone broth for you to get well again. Or else, we don¡¯t know what to tell the media when they ask about you. ¡°Anyway, he treats you well because he wants to maintain the good reputation of the Kooper family.¡± Madalyn said with disgust just when Kisa sat down at the table. Kisa was fine before Madalyn spoke. But, after Madalyn said that, Kisa was more confused by Gilbert¡¯s actions. This was because Gilbert knew she had faked the pregnancy and the miscarriage. So, what Madalyn said was false. Kisa wondered. Why did Gilbert suddenly treat me so well? ¡®Whatever! ¡®I often just don¡¯t understand why he treated me so well.¡¯ Kisa felt better after she ate. She immediately walked out after she finished her food. She did not want to stay in the mansion with Madalyn, who gave her an attitude. Initially, she wanted to go to the film set to film the rest of the show. But, the director was worried that Kisa had not fully recovered yet. So, he persuaded her to rest and get better. Kisa was frustrated. After a lengthy discussion with the director, he agreed with her that she could go back to the film set the day after tomorrow. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. The director figured that the show could be wrapped up after filming for another three to five days. Kisa then looked at the date of Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday banquet. The birthday banquet would be held two days after she finished filming the show. By then, she would have time to stay at the Mullen residence for a while. It could be seen from the previous letter that David stayed in the Mullen residence for a long time to gain. authority. So, it was very likely that David might have left some tracks behind at the Mullen residence. She hoped to pick up David¡¯s trail as soon as possible so that she could tell him about her mother¡¯s intention. And, when she found David, she should be able to find that stepbrother of hers. ¡®Come to think of it, I¡¯m not entirely alone in this world.¡± She smiled. She then made a U-turn and went to GK. She did not forget about Shaun¡¯s matter. Chapter 1145 Chapter 1145 Chapter 1145 I Don¡¯t Like People Touching My Things ¡°I asked you to research GK¡¯s internal core data. What¡¯s this? I want the actual data. This kind of data can easily be found online. I can do this too. Why do I still need you all, then? Huh?¡± When Kisa arrived at thepany, she saw Shaun fiercely scolding his assistant. He threw the stack of data sheets at the assistant¡¯s head as he furiously scolded, ¡°You trash! Bunch of trash!¡± All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Kisa coldly smiled. Sheughed as she said, ¡°Shaun, you¡¯re so capable. You¡¯ll naturally make people like us look worthless.¡± ¡°Hey, Mrs. Kooper. What made youe here? Shouldn¡¯t you be resting at home?¡± Shaun nced at Kisa¡¯s belly with his cold eyes as he said that. He seemed like he wanted to see through Kisa¡¯s belly with his ruthless and gloomy eyes to see if Kisa was ever pregnant. There was still a bruise on his face. Gilbert hit him out of anger the other day. Kisa actually wondered why Gilbert did not fire Shaun for what he did to her. She signaled Shaun¡¯s assistant to go out as she walked in. The assistant looked like he received an amnesty. He ran out immediately. Kisa leaned on the window as she stared at Shaun, who was sitting in a chair. He looked arrogant, and he was holding a cigarette with his fingers. ¡°Well, he isn¡¯t afraid of me at all after our fall out.¡± She sneered, ¡°Shaun, you¡¯re sitting in the wrong chair. The assistant office is next door. This is my office.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just helping you with your work. Look at you. You just had a miscarriage. Your body is still very weak. You should quickly go home and rest. It isn¡¯t worth it if you get any underlying health problems because of this.¡± ¡°My health is great. Don¡¯t worry, Shaun.¡± She walked toward her desk as she said that. She pressed her hands down on the edge of the table as she coldly stared at him, ¡°The reason I came here today is to test if my seat isfortable. But, you¡¯re sitting in my chair. What are you trying to do?¡± Shaun¡¯s smile was stiff for a moment. He got up after a while. ¡°You should¡¯ve just told me earlier that you wanted to sit in this chair.¡± He moved aside as he said that. He said with a smile as he saw Kisa sit in the chair, ¡°This chair is actually very hard. I¡¯m afraid it might not suit you.¡± There was a deeper meaning in what he said. Kisa leaned back in her chair. She smirked, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. I think this chair is quitefortable.¡± She pulled the drawer after she said that. She then took out a stamp. ¡°And, I don¡¯t like people sitting in my chair. I also don¡¯t like people touching my things! You did both of those two things. So, you can stoping here from now on. My ce is too small for your greed.¡± Shaun¡¯s face looked extremely gloomy suddenly. ¡°What are you trying to say? Are you firing me?¡± Kisa calmly looked at him. ¡°Why? Can¡¯t I do that?¡± ¡°Gilbert didn¡¯t give the word. Who are you to fire me?¡± Shaun angrily shouted. His ferocious look could be seen through his gold-framed sses. Kisa smiled gently and said, ¡°I can make Gilbert hire you with just one sentence, and I can also make him fire you with just one sentence!¡± Shaun mercilessly stared at her. He was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out. ¡°You¡¯re such a b*tch. Did you forget how well my boss treated you?¡± ¡°The one who treated me well was Jensen. What does that have to do with you?¡± Kisa scorned, ¡°Stop using Jensen as an excuse. Do you think I¡¯d still keep you here after what you did to me the other night?¡± ¡°But, you said you wanted to avenge my boss. And now, you¡¯re chasing me out of thepany. So, what are you trying to do? I think a b¡¯*tch like you just never wanted to avenge my boss. My boss risked his life. to rescue you from the burning jail!¡± Chapter 1146 Chapter 1146 Chapter 1146 It isn¡¯t Him Kisa ruthlessly frowned, ¡°What do you mean? Jensen risked his life to rescue me from the burning jail?¡± ¡°Yes. You would¡¯ve been dead if it wasn¡¯t for my boss. You wouldn¡¯t even be alive to have a romantic rtionship with Gilbert. You¡¯re a heartless b*tch! ¡°Pff! You¡¯re chasing me out of GK, right? Okay. I don¡¯t care about it anyway. I have many other f*cking ways to get back at Gilbert. ¡°And you, you owe my boss more than you can ever repay. You¡¯ll just live in guilt for the rest of your life.¡± Shaun walked away after he scolded Kisa. Kisa hurriedly ran to him and grabbed him. ¡°Stop. Tell me the truth. Was Jensen really the person who saved me from the fire?¡± ¡°Get lost. You¡¯re just an ungrateful person. What will you do if you know the truth? Will you avenge my boss?¡± Shaun shook Kisa loose as he said that. Kisa hastily took a few steps back. Her lower back immediately hit the desk. Her lower back was extremely painful. She even felt a twinge in her tummy. She held her stomach as she went after Shaun to find out what had happened. But, her tummy was even more painful when she moved. She took a breath in, held onto the table, and sat in the chair. ¡®Was Jensen really the one who saved me from the fire back then? ¡®If it was him, why didn¡¯t he tell me? ¡®And, Adrien. If Jensen had saved me from that fire, then Adrien must have lied. ¡®But, Jensen introduced Adrien to me. Why didn¡¯t Jensen expose Adrien when Adrien said he was the one who saved me? ¡®And, why did Adrien have the photo of my dead baby if he wasn¡¯t the person who saved me? ¡®What¡¯s going on?¡¯ She ufortably stroked her forehead. She increasingly felt that the incident back then was very bewildering. To verify whether what Shaun said was true, Kisa went to find Mia. Mia did not go to Risen Enterprise today. She was at the mansion she found for Jensen. When Kisa arrived, Mia was waiting for her in the yard. Mia prepared some afternoon tea. She did not look like she hated Kisa as she did before when she saw her now. This time, there was a smile on her face. But, the smile did not look genuine. ¡°You told me you have something urgent on the phone. What is it?¡± Mia asked with a smile right after Kisa sat down. Kisa pursed her lips as she asked, ¡°You¡¯ve known Jensen for a long time, right?¡± Mia raised her eyebrows as she nced at her. After a moment of hesitation, she took a sip of the tea and said with a smile, ¡°Yes. I¡¯ve known him since he was around fourteen or fifteen years old.¡± C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. ¡®Fourteen or fifteen years old. That wasn¡¯t long after Jensen was sent abroad. ¡®In that case, she was already very close to Jensen in the year when I encountered the fire. ¡®So, if Jensen really dide back to rescue me, Mia should know about it.¡¯ As she thought of that, she asked Mia, ¡°I was in jail six years ago. And, I was there when the jail caught on fire. You know about it, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Mia smiled, ¡°What do you want to ask?¡± ¡°I want to ask, was Jensen the person who rescued me from that fire back then?¡± Mia¡¯s facial expression slightly changed. Shortly, she looked as usual and asked with a smile, ¡°Who told you that?¡± Kisa did not answer her. Mia suddenly scorned as she said, ¡°Did Shaun tell you that?¡± Kisa lowered her eyes, ¡°You just have to answer my question. Did he save me?¡± ¡°Of course¡­ It isn¡¯t him!¡± Kisa fiercely furrowed her eyebrows. ¡°It¡¯s not Jensen?¡± ¡°No. Because he was with me in Raworth when you encountered that fire.¡± ¡°But, if it wasn¡¯t Jensen who rescued me, why did Shaun say that?¡± Kisa asked hurriedly. Chapter 1147 Chapter 1147 Chapter 1147 Questions Answered Mia smiled as she pondered for a moment. Then, she said, ¡°I guess he wanted you to be riddled with guilt about Jensen. He wanted you to continue to avenge Jensen and get back at Gilbert. You should know what kind of person Shaun is. He¡¯s very loyal to Jensen. He¡¯d do anything to avenge him, let alone tell this lie.¡± Mia lowered her eyes to drink her tea as she said that. She wanted to hide the emotions that could be seen in her eyes. Kisa suddenly sat up straight. She was not sure if she felt disappointed or if she felt something else. She thought to herself, ¡®If Jensen was the person who saved me, then could the baby whose skin had turned purple be¡­. ¡®Never mind. Mia said it wasn¡¯t him. ¡®Moreover, what are the odds of that? ¡®After all, Jensen was in Raworth at that time. He couldn¡¯te back in time to save me.¡± She pursed her lips as she looked in the second-floor direction, ¡°Is Jensen okay?¡± ¡°As usual.¡± Mia smiled. She suddenly leaned back in the chair as she said with emotion, ¡°Honestly, this is actually quite nice. Hepletely belongs to me alone now. And, I don¡¯t have to be afraid that he¡¯d run away or like someone else.¡± Although Mia was smiling while she was saying that, Kisa could tell she was sad when she said it. She asked, ¡°Can I go up there and visit him?¡± ¡°¡­No.¡± Kisa saw the persistence in Mia¡¯s eyes. So, she could only back down. She got up and said, ¡°Thank you for your time. And thank you for answering my questions.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee. If you have any other questions next time, feel free toe and ask me anytime.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Kisa grabbed her bag and walked outside after she said that. Mia suddenly shouted to stop her. ¡°If¡­ The person who rescued you was really Jensen, would you go after Gilbert for Jensen?¡± Kisa was startled for a moment. After a moment of hesitation, she shook her head. Sheughed at herself, ¡°I don¡¯t know the answer to that question.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Mia Smiled slightly and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I was just asking.¡± Mia went upstairs after Kisa had left. At that time, Jensen was standing by the window, staring unwaveringly at the car as it sped away. Mia walked toward Jensen and stood beside him. She asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you want her to know that you were the one who saved her back then?¡± ¡°So what if she knows about it?¡± Jensen smiled casually, ¡°What does it change if she knows?¡± Mia lowered her eyes, as she was speechless. ¡®He¡¯s right. It won¡¯t change anything. ¡®The person Kisa love is Gilbert. Nothing can change that. ¡®Sometimes things will getplicated if the person knows she¡¯s indebted.¡¯ *Jensen, you should keep an eye on Shaun. He¡¯d mess up Mr. Tanner¡¯s n sooner orter if he continued to speak impulsively. ¡°Mr. Tanner is crazy. If his n got messed up, you, me, and ke would never have afortable life.¡± Jensen frowned as he heard Mr. Tanner¡¯s name. A hint of hatred quickly shed in his eyes. ¡®I¡¯ll never forget that ident!¡¯ ¡°Is Mrs. Kooper at home?¡± Gilbert asked the maid as soon as he arrived at the Kooper residence. Madalyn coldly nced at him. She was so angry that she did not want to speak. ¡®No matter what happens, Gilbert only has eyes for her.¡¯ ¡°Yes. Mrs. Kooper just came back. She went upstairs.¡± ¡°Just came back?¡± Gilbert frowned, ¡°When did she go out?¡± ¡°It was past one o¡¯clock in the afternoon when she went out.¡± After hearing that, Gilbert did not ask further. He then strode upstairs. ¡®Did she go to the film set to film?¡± There was no one there at first nce when he entered the room. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. There was a handbag at the end of the bed. The zip was opened. Two menstrual pads were sticking out of the bag. Gilbert¡¯s facial expression changed ruthlessly when he saw the mens l pads. Chapter 1148 Chapter 1148 Chapter 1148 Bleed ¡®Isn¡¯t she pregnant? Why is she still using this? ¡®Don¡¯t tell me. He had no time to ponder. He hurriedly rushed into the toilet. ¡°Ah! What are you doing?¡± The door was opened with a bang. Kisa was taking a dump. She was shocked and immediately pulled up her underwear. Her stomach was not feeling well since the afternoon. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. She only noticed that she got her period when she went to the washroom. Her period was never on time. This menstruation happened only two weeks after herst menstruation. She did not think much. She bought a pack of menstrual pads by the roadside and hurriedly went back home. She wanted to change her pants and put on the menstrual pad after taking a dump. But, she did not expect Gilbert to rush into the washroom like that. Although they were husband and wife, Kisa still felt a little awkward and angry. She wore her skirt as she muffled, ¡°There are other washrooms in this mansion. You can go to the toilet next door or downstairs if you need to use the toilet urgently. Why did you suddenly rush in?¡± Gilbert did not bother with what she said. He just stared wildly at her tummy. ¡°You¡­ You got your period?¡± Kisa¡¯s cheeks burned slightly. ¡°Why do you care so much?¡± Gilbert was even more worried. He strode forward and grabbed her wrist as he asked, ¡°Did you bleed?¡± Kisa was stunned. She felt that the way he asked was a little weird. ¡®I got my period. Isn¡¯t that bleeding? ¡®Why is he still asking that?!¡¯ Gilbert hastily went to see the dustbin at the side when he saw Kisa remain silent. Indeed, he saw the tissue in the dustbin had some blood on it. He felt suffocated. He hurriedly took her in his arms. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Kisa subconsciously put her arms around his neck as she strangely asked. But, Gilbert just carried her to the bed with a sullen face. He seemed furious, and his face was dark and sulky. ¡°I told you not to run around. Why do you never listen? You¡¯re in poor heal peacefully lie down at home?¡± Kisa froze when he scolded her. Can¡¯t you just Just when she wanted to get up, Gilbert pressed her down on the bed again. ¡°From today onwards, you¡¯re not going anywhere. You can only stay home and rest.¡± ¡°No. Gilbert¡­¡± Kisa stared at him in a puzzled manner. ¡°I¡¯m in perfect health. Why do I need to rest? I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just my period. What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°That isn¡¯t your period. That was¡­ That was¡­¡± Gilbert then swallowed the words that he wanted to say. He felt really worried and conflicted. ¡®I want to tell her that she¡¯s actually pregnant. ¡®But, I¡¯m afraid that she wouldn¡¯t want the baby and would secretly get rid of the baby behind my back. ¡®But, if I don¡¯t tell her, she won¡¯t be careful.¡¯ He did not know what to do. He just irritably pulled his tie. Kisa noticed that he was inexplicably upset and furious. She tucked her neck as she softly asked, ¡°W- What¡¯s wrong with you? If it wasn¡¯t period, w-what could it be?¡± ¡®Why is he suddenly acting so weird? ¡®it¡¯s just period. Why does he seem so worried?¡¯ Gilbert took a deep breath. He then covered her with the nket as he said in a deep voice, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You have irregr menstruation. You need to rest well. Don¡¯t get out of bed today. I¡¯ll fetch you your dinner.¡± ¡°No. It¡¯s just my period. I¡­¡± Just when Kisa wanted to get up, Gilbert ruthlessly stared at her. She then unconsciously lied back down again. ¡®I really think he¡¯s overreacting. Even if I have irregr menstruation, I don¡¯t need to just stay in bed.¡¯ ¡°Remember! Don¡¯t get out of bed!¡± He warned in his deep voice. After that, he quickly walked out. Chapter 1149 Chapter 1149 Chapter 1149 Kelvin¡¯s Diagnosis Kisa looked puzzled. ¡®I really think that I don¡¯t feel sick other than my stomach hurting a little. ¡®Why do I need to stay in bed?¡± She was extremely confused. But, she did not dare to get up. ¡®If I make him unhappy, he¡¯d be mad at me again.¡± After lying down for a short while, Gilbert came in again. This time, he was holding a bowl of hot soup. He strode toward her. When he saw her using her phone in the bed, he could not help but frown. ¡°Just close your eyes and rest when you¡¯re lying down. It¡¯ll not only hurt your eyes when you use your phone this way, and it also emits radiation.¡± Gilbert took her phone away as he said that. Mia could not take it anymore. She got up and asked him, ¡°Gilbert, what are you doing? You bought me clothes and shoes. Then, you asked me to stay in bed and rest. And, you don¡¯t even let me use my phone now. What the hell are you doing?¡± Gilbert pursed his lips tightly as he sat at the side of the bed. He then handed her a bowl of soup. ¡°Drink it. It¡¯s good for your health.¡± Kisa frowned when she saw the bowl of ck color soup. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± ¡°ck bean soup!¡± Gilbert muffled as he shoved the bowl into her hand. Kisa was increasingly confused. ¡°You know I had a fake miscarriage. Actually, there isn¡¯t any harm done to my health. I don¡¯t need to replenish my body. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll tell the media that you and the Kooper family treat me very well when they ask me about it. I¡¯ll tell them that you guys made me chicken soup and bone broth every day. So then, the media wouldn¡¯t talk bad about you and the Kooper family.¡± Gilbert could not help but look sulky when he heard what she said. ¡®I hate it when she said ¡°you and the Kooper family¡±. ¡®The phrase ¡°you and the Kooper family¡± drives us apart.¡¯ ¡°You have irregr menstruation. You need to replenish your body more. Quickly drink it.¡± Gilbert got up as he urged her in his deep voice. Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Kisa felt awkward. ¡®I¡¯ve had irregr periods for many years. Why is he suddenly paying so much attention to it now? ¡®I feel a little embarrassed when I talk to a man about this.¡± To avoid Gilbert staying on the topic, Kisa could only obediently drink the soup. She then handed the empty bowl back to him and softly said, ¡°Can I get off the bed now? I¡¯m not sick.¡± ~ ¡°No!¡± Gilbert said the word with finality in a firm tone. Kisa was not happy. Just when she wanted to argue with him on that, Kelvin suddenly came. Kelvin was wearing a white coat and carrying his medical kit on his back. With the equipment, it was obvious that he came to treat someone. Kisa was surprised as she looked at Gilbert. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is someone in our house ill?¡± ¡°No. I asked him toe and have a look at your irregr menstruation problem.¡± ¡®Ah. This¡­¡¯ Kisa blushed. ¡®Shouldn¡¯t my irregr menstruation problem be treated by a gynecologist? How can I be treated by Kelvin on this? ¡®This is so awkward.¡± Kisa immediately shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s not a big deal. I¡¯ll go to a hospital for my irregr period problemter.¡± While she was saying that, Kelvin had already walked toward her. It seemed like the two men did not hear what she said. Gilbert said to Kelvin in a deep voice, ¡°Have a check on her.¡± He sounded very worried. Kisa was confused. ¡®It¡¯s just an irregr period. Why is he so worried? ¡®Moreover, isn¡¯t Gilbert still angry with me? Why does he still care so much about my health?¡± While she thought of that, she saw Kelvin suddenly take out a small ultrasound machine from his medical kit. ¡®This¡­ What is he doing?¡± Kelvin smiled as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. I¡¯m just going to have a simple check on your stomach. I want to check if there are any problems with your uterus. It¡¯s almost the same as your normal medical examination. Just rx.¡± Kisa subconsciously looked at Gilbert¡­ Chapter 1150 Chapter 1150 Chapter 1150 Patients Listen to Their Doctors Gilbert nodded. ¡°Just do a checkup with him. It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s for your own good.¡± Kisa did as she was told, although she had doubts. Luckily, she had just changed into casual wear, and she just needed to lift her shirt up a little to reveal a tad of her tummy. Kelvin immediately saw a scar on her abdomen. He nced at Gilbert an w that he, too, was staring at Kisa¡¯s scar. He coughed to clear his throat as he fiddled with the instruments to examine Kisa. ¡°This scar on your stomach wasn¡¯t treated properly at first, was it?¡± ¡°Well, at the time of losing the child, I felt so sad and ran around like crazy under a heavy downpour, so the wound festered,¡± she said indifferently. Her tone did not have many undtions, as if she was talking about someone else¡¯s story. Gilbert subconsciously clenched his hands, as his heart ached. Kelvin pursed his lips and then said, ¡°Don¡¯t think about the past anymore. I will find some ointment for you after this to get rid of this scar.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. It doesn¡¯t hurt, anyway. Just like the scar on my back, no pain and nobody sees it, so I don¡¯t really mind.¡± The more nonchntly she was, the worse Gilbert felt. Kelvin said nothing more and just examined her carefully. After that, he put away the instrument and took out another syringe to take a tube of blood sample from Kisa. ¡°Why do you need to take my blood sample when I¡¯m just having an irregr period? I don¡¯t think you know gynecology. I better go to the hospital myself.¡± Kelvin grunted, ¡°I told you, I¡¯m an all-around genius medical professor, and I know a lot about gynecology. The reason for taking your blood is to check your health toe up with a suitable regimen for your case.¡± Kelvin sounded so convincing that Kisa felt bad about questioning him. Just when she thought the examination was-over, Kelvin took out another vial from his medical kit. ¡°What are you doing?¡± N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. ¡°This is a toner. There is no harm in getting a shot,¡± Kelvin said, and he jabbed the vial into her arm. Kisa¡¯s face darkened. If it was not because she knew Kelvin and that Gilbert was here, she would have thought that Kelvin was a quack who scammed people out of their money. After the injection, Kelvin started to pack up his medical kit. While packing up, he said, ¡°It¡¯s better to rest in bed for two days. Don¡¯t move around, and don¡¯t do any heavy chores.¡± Kisa nced at Gilbert in puzzlement and then said to Kelvin, ¡°Really? I¡¯m just having an irregr period. I can¡¯t even get out of bed?¡± Kelvin turned to look at her and said with all seriousness, ¡°You don¡¯t just have irregr periods, you are also undermining your health. If you don¡¯t take care of yourself, you will have problems when you get older.¡± Kelvin made it sound like it was really serious. Kisa opened her mouth but could not argue. with it. Just like how students listen to their teachers, patients should follow the doctors¡¯ instructions. Had it been Gilbert who said those things to her, she would have re ed. Kelvin finished his examination and headed outside. Gilbert tucked her in and also went out. Kisa felt strange as she watched the two men walking out one after the other. In the study, Gilbert closed the door behind him and asked Kelvin anxiously, ¡°How is it? Is the baby okay?¡± Chapter 1151 Chapter 1151 Chapter 1151 She Deserves All That Revenge Kelvin satzily on the couch. ¡°I came all the way here just to give your woman a checkup, yet you didn¡¯t even make me a cup of coffee.¡± Gilbert heard this and said nothing. He went over to make him a cup of coffee. Kelvin smiled with satisfaction, as this was the first time Gilbert had made hir sipped his coffee slowly, deliberately keeping Gilbert in suspense. Gilbert looked at him for a long time. After not getting an answer for a long time, he ran out of patience and snatched the cup from Kelvin¡¯s hand. ¡°Tell me what happened to the baby in her womb.¡± Kelvin pouted. ¡°How can you be so mean when you¡¯re begging me?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t test my patience.¡± Gilbert was mad. He knew that Kelvin was being deliberate, knowing he was eager to know. If it was not because Kelvin was his buddy, he would have punched him in the face. Seeing that Gilbert was furious, Kelvin stopped messing with him and showed him the ultrasound report that he had just taken. Then, he took Kisa¡¯s blood sample aside for analysis. Gilbert stared at the report for a long time and could not make any sense of it. He only understood the words: 2 weeks of pregnancy and preterm miscarriage. He panicked when he saw the word ¡®miscarriage¡¯. ¡°What should we do? The baby is in danger, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The baby is still alive. It¡¯s just showing signs of miscarriage. She is bleeding too.¡± It was impossible for Gilbert not to be worried. He quickly asked, ¡°So, what can we do?¡± ¡°I have given. her a Gestone injection. Later, I will give her some tocolytics. You can just have her take it every day.¡± ¡°But-¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the baby is not as weak as you think,¡± Kelvin said without looking up as he analyzed the blood sample. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert came over in puzzlement. ¡°So, what are you doing here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m checking the HCG level in her blood to see if it doubles and if the progesterone is up to standard. If it doubles, then there is no need to worry.¡± Gilbert heard that and asked no more questions. He just kept a close eye on what Kelvin was doing. Kelvin felt ufortable when he was being stared at. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go read a book or find something to do? I¡¯ll let you know when the results are in,¡± he said, smiling at Gilbert. Gilbert grunted and turned to look out the window. He took out a cigarette and lit it, watching in silence. Kelvin nced up at him. Seeing his anxiousness and nervousness, he could not help but say, ¡°It¡¯s not your first time being a father. I remember you weren¡¯t this nervous the first time she had your baby.¡± Contrary to what Kelvin thought, Gilbert was indeed nervous when Kisa first had his baby. Because, at that time, he had deep prejudices and misunderstandings about Kisa, and he kept all the nervousness and concern to himself. Many nights, he quietly went to her room, gently stroking her bulging belly, feeling the baby moving around in her womb. His heart melted at that time, as he was looking forward to the arrival of the child. He even thought about letting go of his prejudice and hatred and slowly epting her for the sake of the baby. But, it was his grandmother¡¯s ident thatpletely ignited his hatred. His grandmother falling into aa sent a blow that wiped out all his anticipation and sympathy for Kisa, which led him to send her to prison. Now that he knew that what happened to his grandmother had nothing to do with Kisa and it was he who had wronged and hurt her, he would only feel sad and sorry in the face of her revenge. But, he would not me her. After all, she deserved all that revenge. ¡°Huh?¡± Chapter 1152 Chapter 1152 Chapter 1152 Not Taking Any Chances Kelvin suddenly hummed in puzzlement while Gilbert was deep in thought. Gilbert frowned and quickly asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is something wrong?¡± ¡°No, no, no.¡± Kelvin shook his head quickly. ¡°Nothing is wrong. It¡¯s just that the test results from her blood are all good, so there shouldn¡¯t be any signs of preterm it be because she knocked her abdomen into something?¡± Gilbert was none the wiser and asked, ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Oh, nothing. Just be more careful in the future and try not to bump her belly into anything. She is in the early stages of pregnancy, which is critical.¡± Gilbert nodded. Seeing that Gilbert still looked worried, Kelvin said with amusement, ¡°Come on, don¡¯t worry about it. Her health data is really good. This proves that there is nothing wrong with the baby. It should be that she identally bumped her belly into something, which caused a minor bleeding urrence. There should be no problem.¡± Gilbert was still not convinced, even though Kelvin said so. ¡°In fact, you should tell her the truth. That way, I can examine her openly and make her be more careful.¡± ¡°Who will be responsible if she secretly aborts this child behind my back?¡± ¡°Uh¡­.¡± Kelvin did not know what to say for a while. ¡°I think you are overthinking. Didn¡¯t you hear what she just said-she was sad because she lost the child? She actually still cares about the child. After all, it¡¯s her own baby.¡± Gilbert puffed out a ring of smoke mncholically. ¡°It¡¯s hard to tell. I just don¡¯t want to take any chances.¡± ¡°But, when her belly gets bigger, she will find out in time.¡± This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. ¡°I will see what to do then.¡± Kelvin pursed his lips and said nothing more, thinking that maybe he had not experienced those things between them. So, he could not understand what Gilbert was thinking. When it was nightfall, Gilbert came in with a meal. Besides the meal, there was also a bowl of unptable-looking ck herbal soup. Kisa was about to get out of bed when Gilbert suddenly barked at her, ¡°Stay down!¡± Kisa frowned. ¡°How can I eat while lying down?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll feed you.¡± The man said, as if it was a matter of course. Kisa was looking at him as if he was a freak. ¡®I¡¯m only having irregr menstruation. It¡¯s not like I¡¯m a cripple. Why do I need to be fed?¡¯ Gilbert strode over and put the food on the bedside table. He then picked up a te and said to her, ¡°You should eat something first before taking the medicine. That way, your stomach will feel better.¡± While speaking, he started to feed her. Kisa swallowed awkwardly and reached to take the te. ¡°No, it¡¯s okay. I can just eat by myself.¡± She felt that Gilbert was really indescribably weird. Gilbert did not resist and let her take the te. She felt awkward sitting on the bed while eating, worrying that she might get the bed dirty.¡± Can I go eat by the window?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t eat in bed. I don¡¯t want to get the sheets dirty.¡± ¡°If it gets dirty, I will get it changed.¡± He was insistent. So, Kisa said nothing again. She stared down at the te of food but did not eat. She just could not eat in bed. Gilbert nced at her and then sighed, ¡°Okay, go eat by the window.¡± He took the te from her, put it on the tray, and then brought the tray with the herbal soup on it to the coffee table by the window. Kisa was delighted and got out of bed at once. Just then, Gilbert¡¯s stern warning came again. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1153 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1153 Chapter 1153 Terminal Illness ¡°Slow down. Don¡¯t be so reckless.¡± His yell stumped her again. Kisa wondered why he thought she was doing something dangerous when she was just casually getting out of bed. She frowned and could not help but be suspicious. She went to his side, looked at his serious face, and cautiously asked, ¡°Gilbert, do I have some kind of terminal illness?¡± Gilbert frowned and angrily said, ¡°Can you say something nicer? Why do you always have to curse yourself?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I want to curse myself. But, your behavior in the past two days was too strange. When Kelvin examined me just now, it also felt strange. It felt like you two had something to hide from me,¡± Kisa said, taking a deep breath. ¡°Just tell me what kind of incurable illness I have. If it¡¯s not a very serious illness, why do you suddenly take such good care of me? Is it because I¡¯m dying, so you are suddenly being so nice to me?¡± The more Kisa said, the angrier Gilbert became. But, he held back his anger, put the meal on the coffee table, and said to her, ¡°Let¡¯s eat first. Don¡¯t overthink.¡± Kisa forced a smile. ¡°When you say that, I will think even more. Tell me, is there something bad growing in my body? Otherwise, why did I need an ultrasound?¡± Gilbert was so angry that he looked out the window. He gritted his teeth, feeling that her imagination was off the charts. Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. ¡°Gilbert, just tell me my condition. After so many years, going through so much and almost died, I have nothing else to fear.¡± Gilbert was helpless to see her persistence. He knew she would not stop until he gave her an exnation. He held back his anger and turned to look at her calmly. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. You have an endocrine disorder, and your immune system is weak. If you follow this regimen for three months, your body will get better.¡± ¡°My immune system is weak?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it? You get sick at every turn. You even choke on a meal, and your hands and feet feel cold in winter¡­ isn¡¯t that weak enough?¡± Kisa was dumbstruck. She was actually experiencing the condition he said she was in. But, since she had recovered from her chronic illnesses, her health had really gotten much better than before. But, they said they wanted to rehabilitate her, so she would let them do so since it would do her no harm, anyway. As long as she was not suffering from any terminal illness, she would be fine. With this in mind, Kisa felt much better and picked up her food, and ate While eating, she said, ¡°You suddenly cared so much about me. I thought I really had some kind of terminal illness. It scared the hell out of me!¡± ¡°You have a wild imagination,¡± Gilbert sneered. Kisa nced at him and asked, after a long moment of hesitation, ¡°You¡¯re not mad at me anymore?¡± Gilbert¡¯s face was stony, and he said nothing. Just as she stopped asking and ate her meal, he suddenly asked, ¡°What do you think I¡¯m angry about?¡± ¡°What happened the other morning. I actually-¡± He suddenly stood up and interrupted her. ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk about what happened that morning. In fact, you have every right to take revenge on me.

To avenge Jensen, Kisa had shown him no mercy. She really wanted to kill him. So, he was holding a grudge about this. Before Kisa could say anything else, Gilbert had already stridden outside. So, she choked back her words and grimaced. ¡®Didn¡¯t he say he wouldn¡¯tin? Now what? He is filled with resentment,¡¯ she said in her mind. ¡°Hmph, I thought you wouldn¡¯te down for dinner,¡± Madalyn snorted in resentment as soon as Gilbert came down the stairs. ¡°Is that woman crippled or what? She needs you to bring the meal up to her?

I hope you will stop targeting her.¡± This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Madalyn got even angrier and forced her cutlery down on the table. ¡°What do you mean?

Daddy won¡¯t even allow us to go up to disturb her.¡± All of a sudden, Andrew and Ada spoke in tandem. Madalyn¡¯s face turned red in anger. ¡®Now, everyone in the house is siding with that b*tch. What is so great about that b*tch? All she does is pretend. It¡¯s disgusting! The more she thought about it, the more resentful she was. She suddenly got up and said in a huff, ¡°I¡¯m not eating. You guys enjoy.¡± With that, Madalyn walked out the door with her cane. Looking at the stooped back of her grandmother, Gilbert felt sorry for her. He shook hist head helplessly and got up to follow her out. In the courtyard, George tried to calm Madalyn. ¡°Let¡¯s not get angry with the young people, Mrs. Kooper Sr.¡± ¡°I just can¡¯t understand what is so great about that b*tch.

It was nighttime. Kisa leaned against the headboard as she read a book. It only took a while before she started feeling sleepy. Kisa was confused. ¡®Why have I been getting sleepy a lot recently?¡¯ she wondered. She closed the book. Just as she was about to switch off the lights and go to sleep, Gilbert opened the door and came in. He was wearing a sleeping robe and looked like he hade in to sleep. Kisa could not help but feel shocked. ¡°I thought he wouldn¡¯t sleep in the same room as me again. After all, he¡¯s still mad at me,¡± she thought. Kisa remained silent and got under the sheets.

Kisa immediately stiffened. ¡°Gilbert¡­¡± ¡°What do you want to eat tomorrow?¡± Gilbert was pressed up against her. However, he did not move and merely murmured at her.

Kisa thought he wanted to do it again, so she could not help but remind him, ¡°Gilbert, I¡­ I¡¯m on my period.¡± ¡°Mhm, I know.¡± Gilbert answered indifferently. It made her sound as if she had imagined things. Kisa¡¯s face burned up slightly. She felt even warmer with the burning-hot chest pressed against her back. Kisa moved to the side again.

If I continue lying down today, I¡¯ll be a do- nothing.¡± ¡°So, you want to go outside?¡± Kisa nodded furiously, ¡°I want to go on set and have a look.¡± ¡®Yesterday, I promised the director I¡¯d visit the set tomorrow, so it¡¯s better for me to visit. the set today and get to know their filming progress. That way, it¡¯ll be easier for my shoot tomorrow. After all, I don¡¯t have much to do recently. Anyway, I still have to tell him about me going out just in case he gives me any attitude after this,¡¯ she thought. To Kisa¡¯s surprise, Gilbert immediately frowned. ¡°No!¡± The man¡¯s tone was firm. There was no room for discussion at all. ¡°Since you¡¯re not feeling well, it¡¯s better for you to stay home.¡± After Gilbert finished his sentence, he walked toward the car in the courtyard. It was drizzling. The persistent autumnal raindrops had a coolness to them. Kisa stared intensely at the man¡¯s cold, lonely back. She felt an inexplicable sense of sadness mingled with a hint of anger. ¡®I shouldn¡¯t have asked him if I had known. I should just leave as I please,¡¯ she thought. Gilbert got in the car. He saw the woman standing at the door with an unhappy expression through the car window. He shook his head resignedly. A momentter, he got out of the car with an umbre. He opened the umbre and walked up to the woman, ¡°You really want to go out?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s lock you up for a few days and see if you¡¯ll get bored?¡± Kisa red at him. Her tone had a hint of annoyance. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Gilbert burst outughing. ¡°You only stayed home for bed rest yesterday. Besides, you secretly went outside yesterday afternoon.¡± Kisa ignored him and walked toward the car on her own ord. Gilbert quickly pulled her and shifted most of the umbre to the top of her head. ¡°Where are you going?¡± he asked. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1159 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1159 Chapter 1159 They¡¯re Truly in Love ¡°Wherever I go is none of your business. In the future, I¡¯ll go out whenever I want to, and I won¡¯t be asking you. It¡¯s not like you¡¯d agree to it anyway.¡± Gilbert could sense the woman¡¯s evident anger, so he lowered his gaze andpromised, ¡°Alright. I won¡¯t force you to rest at home. Are you happy now?¡± ¡°Really?¡± As soon as Kisa revealed a smile, Gilbert quickly added, ¡°However, you need to tell me where you¡¯re going. You can¡¯t just go missing without a word.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine with that,¡± Kisa nodded. ¡®After all, I¡¯m only going to the set. It¡¯s not like I¡¯m doing something bad,¡¯ she thought. ¡°Also, you must be by my side the entire time today.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Hearing Gilbert¡¯s request, Kisa could not help but frown. However, Gilbert did not answer. He merely answered, ¡°If you don¡¯t agree, then you¡¯re better off staying home lying down.¡± ¡®If I constantly don¡¯t let her go out, she¡¯ll surely be unhappy and resent me. However, it¡¯s raining today. I don¡¯t feel safe letting her go out alone. That¡¯s why I can only find a middle ground-keeping her by my side. This way, she¡¯ll get to go out, and I¡¯ll get to keep my eyes on her 24/7,¡¯ he thought. Kisa did not know what the man was thinking. ¡®As long as I get to go out. I don¡¯t want to stay in this cold vi alone. Back then, it was fine. But now that Mrs. Kooper Sr. and I aren¡¯t getting along, it¡¯s a little suffocating to stay under the same roof as her,¡¯ she thought. She said to the man, ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll go to your office with you.¡± The GK Building was bustling. ¡°Oh! Oh! Didn¡¯t the news say that she lost her child and Mr. Kooper and his family don¡¯t like her? To me, it seems like Mr. Kooper still cares a lot about her.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Did you guys see that? Mr. Kooper was being so affectionate with her. He hugged her as if he was worried that she might bump into something.¡± ¡°Tsk! That woman¡¯s really crafty. She¡¯s lost the baby, yet she¡¯s still so favored.¡± N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. ¡°Ahem! Ahem! What are you all gossiping about? If you all continue tattling, I¡¯ll throw you all out!¡± When Davian came upstairs and heard the discussion in the office, he could not help but reprimand them. The entire office instantly fell silent. Davian snorted, ¡°Let me tell you all that Mr. Kooper and the madam are truly in love, so stop gossiping in the future. No one can save you all if Mr. Kooper hears about the gossip.¡± ¡°If she and Mr. Kooper are truly in love, then what was Sara Mitchell?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Mr. Park. Let¡¯s leave Sharon out of this. She¡¯s surely out of the story. We¡¯ll talk about Sara, whose whereabouts are still unknown. If she reappears, will the madam still be as favored?¡± Davian immediately frowned. ¡®If they hadn¡¯t brought up Sara Mitchell, I would¡¯ve forgotten about her,¡¯ he thought. He responded in annoyance, ¡°Why do you all care about that? Whoever Mr. Kooper favors. is none of your business. Right now, Ms. Becker is the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO. In the future, all of you better treat her with respect and stop gossiping behind her back.¡± Davian spoke and nced at the CEO¡¯s office. Then, he turned around and left. ¡®Since the madam is here today, I better not bother them,¡¯ he thought. Right after Davian had left, the people in the office gathered together and started whispering again. ¡°I think Mr. Kooper still loves Sara Mitchell the most. The madam will surely be out of the picture if Sara appears.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Mr. Park didn¡¯t refute us just now. That shows that the person Mr. Kooper truly likes is Sara.¡± ¡°Exactly. I wonder where Sara is. It is said that the person who caused Sara¡¯s disappearance is the madam.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Why else would people call her a crafty woman?¡± Kisa and Gilbert were in the CEO¡¯s office. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1160 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1160 Chapter 1160 Got Caught Peeking Gilbert tidied up the couch and said to Kisa, ¡°Sit here and rest for a bit. I¡¯ll take you out for lunch once I¡¯m done with work.¡± However, Kisa could not sit still. She smiled at him and said, ¡°Do you need help with anything? Signing things, reviewing contracts, and all that?¡± ¡°No. I can do it myself. You get some rest.¡± The man said to her without lifting his head as he busied himself. Kisa pouted. ¡®Is he still holding a grudge against me because I dirtied his contract thest time?¡¯ she wondered. The man quickly entered work mode. He had a particrly serious look. Meanwhile, Kisa leaned against the couch and stared at him for a while. ¡®Honestly, he looks really handsome when he¡¯s hard at work. There¡¯s an inexplicable sense of seriousness that makes him look particrly attractive,¡¯ she thought. The man took off his suit jacket. He was now only left with a gray-colored shirt. His shirt sleeves were rolled up, revealing a small portion of his muscr arms. On his wrist was a wristwatch, the one Kisa had gifted him previously. Kisa stared at him in a daze. Her gaze may have been too obvious, as the man could not help but look up. Suddenly, Kisa¡¯s gaze was met with his dark eyes. She felt her heart skip a beat. She quickly turned around and pretended to flip through a magazine. Gilbert peered at the back of her head for a moment. Then, he said coolly, ¡°If something to say, then just spit it out. Ask me whatever you want. There¡¯s no need for to observe my reactions in secret.¡± you have you Gilbert thought the woman did not dare to say whatever she had in mind, so she kept spying on his expressions. Little did he know, the woman found him attractive while he was working hard. That was why she could not help but stare at him. Kisa felt her cheeks turn a little warm. She held the magazine and quietly said, ¡°I don¡¯t have anything to say to you. I nced at you inadvertently, that¡¯s all. Continue your hard work and pretend that I¡¯m not here. Gilbert pursed his lips. Suddenly, he asked, ¡°Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? I¡¯ll get Davian to buy it.¡± The man was being affectionate out of the blue again. However, Kisa felt a little speechless. ¡®Didn¡¯t I just have breakfast a while ago? Besides, I ate a lot. How could I get hungry this quickly?¡± she wondered. Kisa shook her head, ¡°I¡¯m not. You can carry on with your work.¡± Then, she looked down. She flipped through the magazine and decided not to look at the man anymore. ¡®Truthfully, it was pretty awkward when he caught me peeking at him,¡¯ she thought. While Kisa was deep in thought, a ss of water promptly came into view. Gilbert said to her, ¡°Since you¡¯re not hungry, have some water. Take a nap on the couch if you¡¯re tired.¡± Kisa epted the ss of water in a daze. The water was warm. She watched as the man returned to his seat. Finally, Kisa snapped out of her trance. ¡®Aside from everything else, Gilbert is quite nice and affectionate to me this time,¡¯ she thought. Gilbert stopped talking to her. He lowered his head and continued working. Kisa also stopped bothering him and sat on the couch while reading the magazine. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. However, the office might have been too quiet. The sound of the man scribbling on paper, paired with the sound of the clicking keyboard, sounded like a luby. Kisa let out a huge yawn. She quietly closed the magazine andy on the couch. She decided the take a nap. It was still raining outside the window. The weather was gloomy but perfect for a nap. Kisa peered at the mysterious and grayish skies outside the window, and her thoughts slowly drifted away. For a while, Gilbert did not hear the sound of the woman flipping through pages. He could not help but nce at her, only to find that she had fallen asleep on the couch. He stood up and quietly took out a nket from the cab. It was the nket he used every time he spent a night in his office. He walked over and gently ced the nket over her. Suddenly, someone knocked on the CEO¡¯s office door. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1161 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1161 Chapter 1161 Making Decisions for Me Behind My Back Gibert frowned deeply. He made a beeline for the door and opened it. However, he turned to look at the woman on the couch. Seeing that she was still asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Davian stood outside the door in shock. He stared at Gilbert¡¯s dark expression. ¡®Seems like I came at the wrong time. But I really can¡¯t tell when the right time is! I¡¯ve been holding it in for a really long time outside. I only knocked because this matter is urgent and needs Mr. Kooper¡¯s signature,¡¯ he thought. ¡°Mr. Kooper¡­¡± Gilbert quickly made a shushing gesture before returning to his seat. Davian nced at the woman on the couch and felt bummed out. ¡®Go home and sleep if you¡¯re so sleepy. Seriously! Mr. Kooper red at me for no reason because of you,¡¯ he thought. Davian tip-toed to Gilbert¡¯s desk. He handed Gilbert the document and pointed at the area that needed stamping. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. After looking at the document, Gilbert took out a stamp and stamped it on it. Then, he waved his hand and motioned Davian to leave. Davian pouted. After hesitating for a while, he finally said, ¡°There¡¯s one more thing, Mr. Kooper. It¡¯s about Mr. Mullen Sr. from Athadale¡¯s birthday banquet¡­¡± Davian spoke in a really low voice. Seeing how the woman on the couch did not move, Gilbert did not scold Davian. He asked him quietly, ¡°What about it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m arranging your schedule. Would you like to attend it? Could you confirm so that I can make the arrangements?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going,¡± Gilbert said without hesitation. He continued, ¡°I¡¯ll prepare a giftter. After that, just get someone to send the gift over.¡± Davian was a little surprised, ¡°Isn¡¯t the madam going? You¡¯re really not going?¡± ¡°She isn¡¯t going either!¡± Coincidentally, Kisa had woken up when they were discussing the matter. She frowned slightly. ¡®I didn¡¯t say I¡¯m not going?¡± she thought. While Kisa was thinking to herself in confusion, she heard Gilbert say to Davian in an incredibly low voice, ¡°She hasn¡¯t been feeling well recently, so she won¡¯t be going. Since she isn¡¯t attending, naturally, I won¡¯t be either. After this, I¡¯ll also help her pick a gift and send it over!¡± Kisa felt depressed. ¡®Is he making decisions for me behind my back again? I¡¯ll definitely have to go to the Mullen family¡¯s banquet. However, judging from his firm attitude on making me get bedrest, he definitely won¡¯t let me go no matter what I say. After all, Athadale is far from Calthon. For the past two days, he¡¯s even been limiting me from leaving the house, so he couldn¡¯t possibly let me go to Athadale. That¡¯s why I can only go in secret,¡¯ she thought. ¡°Alright, Mr. Kooper. I understand. Then, I¡¯ll be taking my leave.¡± Gilbert did not respond and merely waved his hand at Davian. Davian nced at Kisa once more before walking out quietly. Kisa was only awake for a while. Once the office fell into silence, she fell asleep again. At the square near the airport entrance, Peter stood and stared unblinking as he watched the taxis come and go. Two tickets were tightly gripped in his hands; one was his, and the other was Jolina¡¯s. He told Jolina he had bought her tickets and that she should juste if she was willing to leave with him. If she was not willing to do so, then they would probably never get to meet again. Peter had purposefully made the situation sound dire. However, even though it was getting closer and closer to boarding time, the woman still did not show up. He could not help but tighten his grip on the tickets. Then, his mouth slowly curled into a smile of self- mockery. The drizzling rain was persistent. It did not take long before Peter was drenched in cold rainwater. His ck windbreaker fluttered in the biting wind, making him exude an air of bleakness and loneliness. *Second young master, it¡¯s almost time to board the ne. Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°She didn¡¯te after all!¡± Peter sneered. Then, he turned around and further into the airport. Turns out she really doesn¡¯t have any feelings for me. All she feels is contempt!¡¯ he thought. Upon this realization, Peter revealed a sardonic smile. Even so, his hand gripped Jolina¡¯s ticket tightly. ¡°Peter!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1162 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1162 Chapter 1162 This Child¡¯s Too Soft-Hearted Suddenly, someone shouted behind Peter. However, it was not a woman¡¯s voice. Peter slowly turned around and saw Adrien walking toward him hurriedly. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me you¡¯re leaving? I could send you off.¡± Peter forced a smile, ¡°There¡¯s no need to send me off. After all, you¡¯ll being over in a bit. It¡¯s not like we won¡¯t ever see each other again.¡± Adrien shook his head in amusentent, ¡°I¡¯ll still have to send you off. Otherwise, I¡¯ll miss you.¡± Peter could not help but smile hearing a middle-aged man say he would miss him. However, his smile was a little bitter. Jolina¡¯s ticket was already wrinkled from Peter¡¯s grip. Peter looked in the direction the cabs stopped once more, and the final bit of expectation he had dissipated. Adrien nced at Peter¡¯s expression and understood the situation. He narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled, ¡°Go home, and don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll help you get what you want.¡± Peter shook his head, ¡°This is different. It¡¯s not something I can have just because I want it. ¡®I¡¯ve always gotten whatever I wanted. I never thought winning a woman¡¯s heart would be this difficult,¡¯ he thought. ¡°Let¡¯s go, second young master. It really is almost boarding time,¡± the bodyguard beside him said in a panic. Peter looked and Adrien and suddenly teared up. He looked like a child that had been. wronged. Then, he said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving now. Take care, Uncle Adrien.¡± ¡°Go on.¡± Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Adrien stared at Peter¡¯s back, unblinking. Momentster, he shook his head in resignation. ¡°This child¡¯s too soft-hearted; in the end, he still isn¡¯t like me. If it were me, I would¡¯ve gotten what I wanted, one way or another,¡¯ he thought. In a cab that was a distance away, Jolina only looked away after seeing Peter disappear into the airport entrance. She said to the cab driver, ¡°To Nouveau District.¡± Jolina and Peter had known each other for two years. ¡®When I first met Peter, I helped him. After that, he always looked after me. I had always treated Peter as a good friend. However, everything changed after that chaotic, painful night. It was as if our rtionship hadpletely changed because of that night. I¡¯m here to see him off merely for old times¡¯ sake. I won¡¯t follow him back to the Webb family because he was never the person I liked. If I follow him back now, that will mean I ept him. But I will never truly ept him. Never,¡¯ thought Jolina. Elsewhere, Kisa woke up in a dim room. She stared at the ceiling in a daze. Momentster, she finally realized she was currently in Gilbert¡¯s office. The curtains in the office were shut, and only the tablemp in the room was lit. Kisa scanned her surroundings groggily. If it were not for the wall clock indicating that it was two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, she would have thought that it was already nighttime. There was a light gray nket covering her. A faint tobo smell lingered on the nket which Kisa surprisingly liked. Kisa hugged the nket and sat up. She still felt a little disoriented. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Shortly after, she heard the man beside her speak. Kisa turned to Gilbert. She saw him leaning on the chair and staring at her. He had a pen in his hand and looked like he had been busy. ¡°Mhm.¡± Kisa rubbed her eyes and answered quietly. Her voice was a little hoarse. She was disoriented after the nap; her thoughts were a little fuzzy. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1163 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1163 Chapter 1163 Caution and Reminder ¡°You must be hungry. Go wash up. I¡¯ll take you out for lunch.¡± Kisa nodded. She held onto the couch and stood up. Perhaps it was because Kisa had slept for too long, but she struggled to walk and felt as if her body had lost its strength. When she got to the washroom, she realized the floor had anti-slip matsid out. ¡®How strange. Since when were these ced? I don¡¯t think they were here this morning,¡¯ she thought. Kisa did not think any further. After using the washroom, she washed her face with cold water. She finally felt more energetic after washing her face. ¡®It seems like sleeping so much was not a good idea. I slept so much that I was disoriented, ¡®she thought. Gilbert was standing by the window when Kisa walked out of the washroom. The curtains had been drawn open; she could see that it was still raining outside. The autumnal season made the grayish rainy day seem particrly bleak and lonely. However, the Kisa felt an inexplicable sense of peace despite the weather. She was not sure if it was because of the warm lights in the room or him. Gilbert turned to her with a slight frown. ¡°The rain outside hasn¡¯t stopped at all. The temperature has also dropped. Why don¡¯t you just stay here and not go outside? What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll buy it for you.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. It¡¯s only a slight drizzle. Besides, we drove here. Going outside once will be fine.¡± Gilbert¡¯s expression darkened, ¡°We drove here, but there¡¯s still some distance from the entrance to our car. Furthermore, there are strong winds outside. What if you catch a cold. after going outside?¡± ¡®Even though he¡¯s saying considerate things, I really can¡¯t stand the expression on his face. That expression of his looks like he finds me troublesome,¡¯ she thought. Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Kisa did not argue with him any further. She said quietly, ¡°Whatever. I¡¯ll eat whatever you buy.¡± ¡°Alright. Be good and stay here. Don¡¯t wander off.¡± Gilbert said while taking his suit jacket from the back of his chair and putting it on. Then, 17 he walked out. The man left soon after. Kisa walked to the window and looked down in boredom. There were barely any people walking on the streets because of the weather. After peering down for a while, Kisa spotted Gilbert walking out of the building. The man¡¯s actions were quick and smooth; he got into the car and quickly started it. Upon seeing the car quickly merge into the main road, she picked up the magazine and flipped through it in boredom. However, the more Kisa flipped through the magazine, the more she found its contents uninteresting. She stood up and walked up to Gilbert¡¯s desk. Just as she was going to see if she could help Gilbert with anything, she heard someone knocking on the door. Kisa was startled and subconsciously said, ¡°Come in. The door was pushed open. Davian peered into the room and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°He went out to buy lunch.¡± ¡°Buy lunch?¡± Davian was shocked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t he ask me to do it? Besides, he could¡¯ve ordered takeout. Why¡¯d he go out to buy food himself?¡± Kisa shook her head, ¡°Why are you looking for him? I¡¯ll let him know when he¡¯s back.¡± ¡°Oh. It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s nothing.¡± Davian said while hugging the documents in his arms tighter. He looked as if he was worried that she would peek at them. Kisa was speechless. ¡°When Gilbert went out, he didn¡¯t even keep the documents on the table or lock his drawers. Gilbert himself isn¡¯t cautious toward me, yet Davian is acting cautious,¡¯ she thought. ¡°Since Mr. Kooper isn¡¯t around, I¡¯lle and find him againter,¡± Davian said and nced at Gilbert¡¯s desk. Then, he reminded Kisa, ¡°Madam, rest on the couch if there¡¯s nothing. Don¡¯t touch Mr. Kooper¡¯s things without his permission. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be held ountable if something happens.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1164 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1164 Chapter 1164 The Strange Album Kisa was even more speechless when she heard that. ¡®Is he trying to threaten me?¡¯ she wondered. Mmm,¡± she hummed expressionlessly and returned to the sofa. Davian saw that she was unhappy and quickly exined, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust you, Mrs. Kooper, but GK got screwed over badly thest time. I¡¯m just afraid¡­¡± What Davian said was understandable. Kisa waved her hand at him and said, ¡°Okay, I got it. I won¡¯t touch his stuff. You can go about your business peacefully.¡± ¡°Alright, Mrs. Kooper. I¡¯ll head out now. Just call me if you need anything.¡± Davian said and went out of the room. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Kisa leaned on the sofa. She was not angry but rather amused. ¡®Davian is so loyal and devoted to him. If he were to choose between Gilbert and Felicity, he would probably choose Gilbert. Kisa could not help butugh when she thought about it. ¡°But I haven¡¯t seen Felicity in such a long time. Is she back in Athadale? I mean, Gilbert brought that woman back from Athadale.¡± Kisa sat on the sofa, scrolling through her phone, feeling bored. She looked at the time and realized that Gilbert had been out for an hour. ¡®What is he shopping for? Why isn¡¯t he back yet?¡± Kisa was hungry, so she took a sip of water. She then nced at Gilbert¡¯s bookcase, nning to find something to read. The bookcase was huge, and office documents filled the middle and lower shelves. The two upper sections consisted of novels, essay collections, and so on. Kisa¡¯s gaze traveled across the bookcase, and it finallynded on the topmost part of the bookcase. There was something covered in ck leather lying there, but it was not a book. Curious, Kisa moved a stool over and got on it, ready to take the unknown object off the bookcase and have a look. When she stepped onto the chair, she realized that the highest. part of the bookcase was covered in dust, including the ck-leathered object. ¡®How long has it been since someone cleaned this bookcase, and how long has that thing been sitting up there? She thought. ¡®It¡¯s weird, though. They take cleanliness to another level here, especially the CEO¡¯s office, which is cleaned spotless every single day. The other parts of this bookcase are dust free, but not the part with the item on it. It¡¯s as if someone had specifically instructed the staff not to touch that shelf, Kisa suppressed her suspicions as she took the thing down from the bookcase. It was heavy, not at all like a book, but more like an album. Kisa blew the dust away and opened it curiously. Suddenly, her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw the picture inside. ¡°What are you doing?!¡± Kisa was startled. She immediately slipped and fell. ¡°Ah!!!¡± She yelled. However, her body did not hit the floor. Instead, she fell into a cold embrace. Kisa opened her eyes in shock and saw Gilbert¡¯s handsome but angry face. Gilbert helped her stand and shouted at her with rage, ¡°What the hell were you doing on the chair? Do you know how dangerous that was? I was only out for a while, yet here you are, climbing up chairs. Can you please save me some trouble?¡± The man was furious. His face looked cold, and his chest heaved heavily. Kisa stared at him nkly, thinking that he was making a fuss out of nothing, ¡®The chair isn¡¯t even that high. Plus, the floor is covered with carpet. It wouldn¡¯t even hurt that much if I fell. I don¡¯t know why he¡¯s getting mad.¡± Gilbert stared at her deeply, and his gaze unexpectedly fell on the photo album that was in her arms. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1165 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1165 Chapter 1165 Their Wedding Pictures Gilbert scowled fiercely, as if someone had just discovered his deepest darkest secret. He pulled the photo album out of her hands and shouted at her coldly, ¡°Who told you to take this?¡± Kisa was startled by all the yelling. Once again, she thought that he was extremely unpredictable. He could act all gentle and considerate toward her at one moment and yell at her like she was his enemy the next. His unstable emotions and mood swings bewildered her. Kisa looked at the photo album in his hand and asked in a low voice, ¡°W-Wh¡­ Why do you have that?¡± In that album were their wedding pictures. Under Madalyn¡¯s insistence and orders, Gilbert had taken wedding photos with Kisa. He had been extremely unwilling to do so, and his face was dark the whole time. They had taken several pictures, but Gilbert did not look at them at all back then. Instead, he left to meet up with Sara after their photo shoot, leaving Kisa alone at the bridal shop to be ridiculed by others. At that time, the photographer asked her which of the pictures she would like to make it to the final cut and how she would like the final product to look. However, because Gilbert left, she did not care about the photos anymore, so she told the photographer that she did not want any of them. The photo shoot was just a formality that Madalyn had requested. Kisa did not expect Gilbert would have made them into an album. She looked at the man in front of her in confusion. She could not figure out what kind of emotions he had felt for her back then. Gilbert was embarrassed and annoyed when he saw Kisa looking at him with scrutiny. He tossed the photo album into the trash and said, ¡°Some things should be left in the past. Let¡¯s eat.¡± Kisa anxiously nced at the trashcan and ran over without saying anything. She picked the photo album up and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t get to see it yet. I don¡¯t even know if I looked good in those pictures.¡± Gilbert ignored her. He walked to the coffee table and spread out the food he had bought one by one. Kisa walked over to him, holding the photo album. Gilbert frowned in disgust. ¡°It¡¯s so dusty. Go wash your hands!¡± Kisa did not say a word. She walked into the bathroom with the album in her hand. The album was waterproof, and so were the photos inside. So, she rinsed the photo album with water, washed her hands, and went out of the bathroom. As soon as she was at the coffee table, Gilbert took the album away from her once again. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You¡­¡± The man stayed quiet. He opened the photo album and put it on the windowsill to let it dry. ¡°Hurry up and eat. Those pictures were heavily edited. There¡¯s nothing worth looking at.¡± ¡®Pfft. He must be kidding. Those pictures clearly look unedited. Although Kisa only got to look at that one picture before Gilbert came in, she recognized the man in the suit immediately; it was Gilbert with his signature gloomy face. Gilbert pushed the food in front of her silently. Kisa nced at the logo on the food packaging and thought, ¡®Isn¡¯t that the best restaurant in Calthon? Did he actually go there just to buy their food?¡± ¡°I ordered you a steak and a pan-seared salmon. Eat it while it¡¯s hot.¡± Kisa picked up her silverware and said softly with a smile, ¡°Actually, we could¡¯ve just ordered some takeout. You didn¡¯t have to go so far for some food.¡± ¡°Takeout?¡± Gilbert raised an eyebrow and looked at her stomach. ¡°Takeout isn¡¯t healthy. Eat! He said in a muffled voice after a while. Kisa pursed her lips and nced at the photo album. She looked up to see the man who was eating and asked cautiously, ¡°Um¡­ You seemed very reluctant when we took those pictures back in the day. Why did you even bother to make them into a photo album? Doesn¡¯t it disgust you?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1166 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1166 Chapter 1166 He Dismissed Her ttery Gilbert frowned instantly and stared at Kisa irritably. ¡°Yeah, yeah. I had it made just to disgust myself. Now, eat!¡± ¡®She never believes it when I said I liked her, so I guess the idea of me secretly creating that album is pretty ridiculous, from her perspective.¡± Gilbert had asked the photographer from the bridal shop to make him that album after Kisa ¡®died¡¯. Since neither of them had wanted those pictures at first, they had been deleted. It had taken Gilbert a long time to recover some of them, which he then made into an album. Gilbert would look through the album whenever he missed her, but it then brought him endless pain, grief, and despair after some time. So, he decided to just put the wedding album on the top shelf of his bookcase, thinking that he would just forget about it. However, he did not expect that Kisa would find it. Seeing the man inexplicably losing his temper, Kisa did not say a word. She just ate her food in silence with her head low. The food from the restaurant was delicious. The pan-seared salmon was fresh and tasted amazing; it whetted her appetite. She ate two servings of rice and a bowl of soup, which was more than what Gilbert had eaten. When she finished eating, she saw that Gilbert still had a lot of food on his te. She wiped her mouth and said in embarrassment, ¡°Maybe the cold weather is causing me to have arger appetite.¡± Gilbert looked at the empty te in front of her and asked after a while, ¡°Are you full? If not, I can ask Davian to buy you something else to eat.¡± Kisa shook her head quickly and said, ¡°I¡¯m full, I¡¯m full. I assure you I¡¯m full. I¡¯m not a pig. you know.¡± After saying that, she took the initiative to wash the dishes. However, Gilbert put away the tes and silverware before she could get to it. ¡°Get some rest. I have some things to do. I¡¯ll take you home when I¡¯m done.¡± He then cleaned up the coffee table and went back to his desk to work. Kisa tilted her head and looked at him, confused. She could not figure out why he insisted on her staying with him at the office today. ¡®In fact, I¡¯m not being of much help. I¡¯m just causing more trouble for him. For example, if I weren¡¯t here, Gilbert would have gone to the staff cafeteria to settle his lunch. He wouldn¡¯t have to travel so far just to buy me some lunch. Except for his bad temper, he¡¯s being super nice to me right now.¡± Kisa brushed away the thoughts in her mind as she got up, walked to the window, and grabbed the photo album. The wind was strong, so the photo album was dry at that point. She held the album in her hands and sat on the sofa. She did not look at the photos at all back then, and she did not expect she would ever have the chance to look at the pictures they had taken all those years ago. When she turned the page, she saw a bride and groom with no smiles. The man¡¯s expression was dark and indifferent, while hers was sad and lost. There were not a lot of photos in the album. She remembered that she had changed into five sets of clothes for the photoshoot, but only three sets of clothes were seen in the album. Gilbert hated Kisa at that time. The photographer asked them to stand closer and act more intimately, but Gilbert always stoed a foot away from her as if touching her was disgusting. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. It was inevitable to think of the past when looking at the photos. Kisa pursed her lips, and a familiar pain and sadness appeared in her heart again. She soon looked through the album since they were not many pictures in it. The man did not smile in any of them. On the other hand, Kisa looked like she was full of caution in every single one of the photos. She was trying to please him then, but he dismissed her ttery. All he thought about was Sara. Gilbert lost his mood to continue working when he saw how sad Kisa looked, flipping through their wedding album. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1167 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1167 Chapter 1167 On the Spur of the Moment Gilbert threw his pen onto the table, tugged at his tie irritably, and said in an irritated voice,¡± I told you not to look at it. Didn¡¯t I say that some things should be left in the past?¡± Kisa took a slight breath and asked him sadly, ¡°Why bother making an album if you didn¡¯t want to take those pictures?¡± ¡°I must¡¯ve done it on the spur of the moment,¡± Gilbert snorted. He did not tell her that he did so because he missed her. ¡®She¡¯s never believed in my sincerity. She¡¯d just mock me if I told her the true reason.¡¯ Kisa smiled sadly. ¡°I think you were afraid you would forget the hatred and dislike you had for me. You got these photos done because you wanted to remind yourself of that.¡± Gilbert was mad when he heard her say that. ¡°Whatever,¡± he said angrily. The atmosphere in the office was getting more and more depressing. Kisa closed the album. Although looking at the photos stirred up some unpleasant memories, she still wanted to keep the album. She hugged the album in her arms as she stood up and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to disturb your work anymore. I¡¯ll go down to the J & K department to have a look.¡± After she finished speaking, Kisa went out of Gilbert¡¯s office. The man stared at the closed door and kicked his desk in anger, feeling increasingly annoyed. ¡®I should have thrown that album away in the first ce to avoid this from happening. That woman never thinks well of me. Why wouldn¡¯t she just assume that I made that album because I missed her? Why did she have to say all those words to antagonize me?! F*ck!¡¯ Gilbert pulled his tie off in a rage and mmed it onto his desk. ¡®I don¡¯t feel like working anymore.¡¯ This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. He rested his elbows on the desk, propped his forehead with the back of his hand, and closed his eyes irritably. Suddenly, someone came into the room. Thinking that it was Kisa, Gilbert hurriedly looked up. The next moment, he narrowed his eyes coldly. Davian was terrified by his gaze. He had learned his lesson that morning and was afraid that Kisa would fall asleep in the office again, so he did not knock and went into the office directly. But¡­ Gilbert looked angry. Davian quickly backed out, knocked on the door, and went into the office. ¡°M-Mr. Kooper, what¡¯s wrong? Where¡¯s Mrs. Kooper?¡± Gilbert had already collected himself at that time. He straightened his cor and asked, ¡± What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Oh, uh, I¡¯ve sorted out some of the important documents and brought them to you.¡± ¡°Just leave them here,¡± Gilbert said as he motioned to the table. Davian hurried over and ced the stack of papers on his desk. Gilbert was in a bad mood, so Davian did not dare to stay for long. After cing the documents, he turned around to walk out of the office. Suddenly, Gilbert called out to him. Davian smiled respectfully and asked, ¡°Yes, Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°Kisa is at the J & K department below. Go take a look and make sure she is safe and well.¡± Davian was speechless. ¡°But, Mr. Kooper, t-this is thepany building. Will there even be any¡­¡± ¡°I said go!¡± Gilbert shot him a fierce nce, and Davian did not dare to say another word. ¡°Shaun did all of this?¡± In the office, Kisa stared at all the unreasonable contracts in front of her and asked the secretary. The secretary nodded. ¡°Mr. Burton said that he got your consent.¡± Kisa frowned. Just as she was about to say something, Davian suddenly ran into her office. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, didn¡¯t you and Shaun collude to do all this? How could you have the nerve to ask the secretary about it now?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1168 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1168 Chapter 1168 Come On, Let¡¯s Go Home Davian¡¯s tone was not nice. He still harbored resentment toward Kisa. After he went into her office, he waved the secretary off. The secretary nced at Kisa and took her leave. Kisa looked at Davian and said, ¡°No, I did not do any of this. In fact, I didn¡¯t even know about any of it.¡± The contracts were all signed with Riser Enterprise under the name of GK Pictures. It was stated that Risen Enterprise would take 100% of the benefits, while GK had to give up profits and subsidize its own profit. Because these contracts were not major, Shaun did not have to ask her permission to sign them; he could just stamp them himself for them to take effect. As for the previous contract, Shaun had to trick Kisa into signing it because the interests involved were too great. Now that she thought about it, Shaun had been pulling all kinds of tricks behind her back, causing GK to lose profit in the process. ¡®From Davian¡¯s tone, Gilbert must have known about Shaun all along. But why didn¡¯t he punish him if he knew? If I hadn¡¯t let him go, would Gilbert have just let him continue to harm GK? I don¡¯t understand what he¡¯s thinking sometimes. How could someone as shrewd and ruthless as him be so careless?¡¯ ¡°Okay, Mrs. Kooper. There¡¯s no need for you to exin it to me. You should go and exin yourself to Mr. Kooper.¡± Davian¡¯s tone was sullen and full of resentment. Kisa looked at him and asked, ¡°Do you know why Gilbert did not punish Shaun?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all because of you. Shaun was under your management, so Mr. Kooper did not allow us to do anything to him. The guy became more and more rampant as time went on. He even wanted to steal GK¡¯s shares. Is what Mr. Kooper doing not good enough for you, Mrs. Kooper? Why did you help Shaun harm GK Pictures ?!¡± Davian became more enraged as soon as he said that and looked at Kisa with even more hostility. Kisa pursed her lips. She knew that it was useless to exin herself now. Fortunately, the crisis had been resolved. ¡°Since you¡¯re ming me, you should go so that you don¡¯t get even more upset looking at my face.¡± ¡°Hah. If it weren¡¯t for Mr. Kooper, I wouldn¡¯t being down here to make sure you were safe and sound,¡± Davian snorted depressingly and sat down on the sofa. Kisa¡¯s heart trembled. ¡°Gilbert asked you toe down here?¡± Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Do you think I came down here just to scold you on purpose? I don¡¯t have that kind of time on my hands.¡± Kisa lowered her gaze, her emotions bing moreplex. Although Gilbert always taiked to her in a cold voice during that period of time, he kept doing things that made her feel like he cared for her. Her hatred for that man slowly disappeared, and the urge for revenge in her heart was slowly weakening. Every time Kisa thought about it, she felt conflicted. She felt like she was betraying Jensen and her dead child. When it was time to leave work, Kisa did not go and meet Gilbert. She decided to go back home herself. However, the man suddenly appeared at her office door and said, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go home.¡± The man then turned and walked out of the office. Kisa¡¯s heart trembled slightly, and she followed behind him silently. She wasn¡¯t sure whether it was because he slowed down on purpose, but Kisa caught up with him after walking a few steps. The rain still had not stopped, and the autumn wind was chilly. As soon as the two of them reached the exit of the building, Gilbert took off his suit jacket and put in on her. Kisa .subconsciously wanted to reject his kindness, but when she met his gloomy eyes, she did not refuse.

After returning to the vi, Gilbert asked Kisa to go upstairs and rest, and told her that he would bring her dinner. Madalyn did not get mad at her either and just let her rest instead. Kisa was surprised by their irregr attitude but did not bother to know why. Since they were treating her well, she decided to just ept it For dinner, Gilbert brought her various dishes and some bone broth. Kisa looked at the small coffee table that was filled with food and looked at the man amusedly. ¡°How could I possibly finish so much food?¡± She said. . ¡°Don¡¯t be modest. I know you have a great appetite,¡± Gilbert replied expressionlessly. Kisa¡¯s face darkened. ¡°I had a big lunch because I was hungry.¡± ¡°You ate a huge breakfast too.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because¡­¡± ¡°Alright. It¡¯s not a shameful thing to have a good appetite. Grandma and I would be happier if you ate more.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Kisa was puzzled. It¡¯s not like they were raising her as a pig that they could sell for a lot of money. ¡°The weather¡¯s getting cold. Eat the food while it¡¯s hot. Ring the call button by the bed if you need anything,¡± the man said and walked out of the room. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Kisa subconsciously asked. ¡°Downstairs for dinner,¡± he replied. ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten yet?¡± she asked again. ¡°I was afraid you¡¯d be hungry, so I brought you your dinner first.¡± Gilbert¡¯s tone was calm, but it disturbed her heart. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°Actually, there¡¯s no need to bring me food. I can-¡± ¡°Okay, eat. I¡¯m going downstairs.¡± The man went out after speaking while Kisa stared nkly at the food on the coffee table. The dishes were served on small tes, which made them look incredibly delicate. It was as if they had been specially prepared just for her. Kisa sat down at the table withplex emotions. She did not understand what was going on with Gilbert and Madalyn. In the study, Gilbert and Davian were on a video call. ¡°The registrant of Risen Enterprise is Mia Fallon and no one else. I think they built this This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°And Kisa was the one who fired him?¡± ¡°Yup, I heard from a few of the staff members that Mrs. Kooper and Shaun had a huge fight that day, and he left after that.¡± Dayian hesitated for a few seconds and continued, ¡± Mrs. Kooper also said that she didn¡¯t know about the contracts today and that Shaun had made them up all by himself.¡± Gilbert leaned back against the chair and stayed quiet. Davian could not figure out what he was thinking about, so he said, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t believe her. If she really did not know about them, why did she sign the contractst time? It doesn¡¯t make any sense.¡± ¡°Stop. Don¡¯t mention that matter again.¡± ¡°¡­Okay,¡± Davian pursed his lips. He knew that Gilbert was protective over his wife. ¡°By the way, Mr. Kooper, Mr. Webb Sr. from Oceanville sent a message again. He¡¯s urging you to meet him there when you have the time.¡± Gilbert frowned. ¡°Try to push it back for me.¡± ¡°But¡­ Mr. Kooper, didn¡¯t you stop going to the Mullen residence?

I mean, you don¡¯t have that much on your te recently.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s wait three more months.¡± ¡®Kelvin said that the child in Kisa¡¯s stomach would need three months for their condition to stabilize.¡¯ Gilbert was worried about leaving her alone in Calthon, so he kept postponing the meeting. ¡°Mr. Kooper¡­¡± As he was thinking about it, Davian suddenly called out, hesitating to speak.

She hasn¡¯t talked to me for several days now.¡± Gilbert frowned again. He fiddled with the watch on his wrist and said casually, ¡°Davian, I¡¯ve introduced the girl to you. Whether you can make her fall for you depends on your own ability. Felicity is a good girl. You should take more initiative before someone elsees and takes her away. Otherwise, you¡¯re gonna regret it.¡± Davian pursed his lips andughed bitterly in his heart. ¡®She blocked me just because I left her for some work on the night of Valentine¡¯s that day. I can¡¯t tell Mr. Kooper about that,¡¯ he thought. ¡°Got it, Mr. Kooper. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m going to hang up. Have a good night, Mr. Kooper.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± When they hung up the video call, Gilbert shook his head helplessly and looked for Felicity¡¯s number. He could not bear to see Davian sad. The call connected quickly. ¡°What¡¯s up, Mr. Kooper? Is there an event tonight?¡± Gilbert looked at the time; it was almost 11:00 p.m. ¡®Damn, this woman really is a night owl.¡¯ ¡°Where are you?¡± Gilbert asked. ¡°I¡¯m at the club. Do you wannae? Bring your girl along. The more the merrier.¡± ¡°No!¡± Gilbert directly rejected her invitation and exined why he called, ¡°Davian-¡± ¡°Toot¡­¡± Before he could finish, the call stopped. Gilbert¡¯s face darkened. ¡®How dare she hang up! However, this also shows that she deeply resented Davian; hearing his name made her avoid it like the gue.¡¯ Not knowing how the two of them got into this situation, Gilbert sent a message to Davian, telling him about Felicity¡¯s whereabouts. Davian quickly responded with [Thank you, Mr. Kooper.] and added a funny GIF. Gilbert shook his head when he saw that, amused. He put down his phone, stretched his back, and looked out the window unconsciously. It waste at night, and the sky was getting cold. He did not know if Kisa was asleep or not. He turned off hisputer and got up to walk outside. He quietly pushed the door open and was shocked when he saw the light on in the room. ¡®It¡¯ste. Is that woman not asleep yet?¡¯ He closed the door behind him and strode toward the bed, only to realize that the woman was already asleep. Kisay on her side under the nket with two pillows under her head. She was still holding her phone that was repeatedly ying a short video. Gilbert could not help but smile when he saw that. He climbed into the bed gently and carefully pulled the phone out of her hand. He turned off her phone and put it on the bedside table. When he turned over, he saw the woman looking at him sleepily. ¡°Have you finished work?¡± She asked casually; her voice was soft like a feather brushing gently over his heart, leaving some warmth. Gilbert stroked the hair strands on her forehead and asked, ¡°Were you waiting for me?¡± ¡°Yeah¡­ But you were busy, and it was gettingte. I fell asleep.¡± ¡°Silly girl,¡± Gilbert murmured and could not help but kiss her lips. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1171 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1171 Chapter 1171 Expectations Kisa responded to Gilbert in a blur. It was cold outside, but the temperature in the house was rising steadily. At some point, her nightdress was unbuttoned, and she shivered slightly from the head of the man¡¯s body. Just as she fell asleep again, the man suddenly stopped kissing her and helped her put on her nightdress. Kisa looked at him nkly, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were teary. ¡°What?¡± She asked in a low voice, feeling inexplicably disappointed. It turned out that she still subconsciously longed to be close to him. This made her feel contradictory and ufortable, so much so that she even despised herself a little. Gilbert kissed her forehead and said, ¡°Go to sleep. It¡¯ste.¡± Kisa did not say anything. Instead, she just turned her back to him. She did not know what was wrong as tears fell down her cheeks. She was feeling incredibly sad. Gilbert stared at her thin shoulders for a while and reached out to turn off the light. After that, he held Kisa in his arms, and she did not struggle to break free. She stared at the blurry window in a daze, somewhat disdainful of how she had fallen asleep just now. She found it hard to believe, but she had a slight anticipation, expecting the man to touch her. The hatred she had for him was now nothing. It was contradicting and painful for her as she did not know how to face this new feeling. At the entrance of the club, Davian put his hands in his pockets and paced back and forth by the flower bed. Thest time he went there with Mr. Kooper, the bouncer had let him in. But now that he was alone, the bouncer refused to let him enter the establishment. He had even tried to bribe him with money, but the bouncer stood his ground. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. So, he squatted near the flower bed, took out a cigarette, and smoked it sullenly. Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Not long after, two figures suddenly walked out of the club. Davian took a closer look, and who was the sexy and enchantingly dressed woman walking wobbly, if not Felicity? Davian quickly got rid of his cigarette and ran over to her. ¡°I want to drink! If I don¡¯t defeat those b*stards at drinking, then I¡¯m not Felicity Jennings!¡± She said angrily as she staggered around. Ronald helped her steady herself and said with a smile, ¡°Okay, Felicity.

Don¡¯t be mad.¡± ¡°Felicity¡­¡± Just as Ronald was helping her to the car, Davian suddenly came out of nowhere. Felicity narrowed her eyes immediately and stared at him coolly as she said, ¡°Who are you? Davian¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡®It¡¯s only been a few days; does she really not remember me?¡¯ Davian was a little angry and sad at the same time. He put on a smile and said, ¡°Felicity, I¡¯m Davian. Mr. Kooper introduced-¡± ¡°What? Davian? I¡¯ve never heard of that name in my life. Shoo! Don¡¯t get in the way,¡± she said in disgust and deliberately leaned her whole body against Ronald. Ronald was interested in her, so his arms naturally locked around her waist firmly when she leaned over. Seeing the two so close together, Davian¡¯s eyes turned red. ¡°Felicity, I was wrong. Please give me a chance to exin myself. Why are you doing this?¡± Felicity stared at him and sneered, ¡°What exactly am I doing?¡± ¡°You fall for every man you see.

From now on, I¡¯ll treat you like we¡¯ve never met before.¡± ¡°Felicity!¡± Davian suddenly grabbed her arm and yelled. There were tears welling up in his eyes as if he was about to cry at that moment. Felicity was annoyed when she saw that. ¡®I like tough guys, not guys who cry!¡¯ She pushed the man¡¯s hand away, disgusted. ¡°Go away! Nevere near me again!¡± After she finished yelling, she followed Ronald into the car. Davian watched as the car sped away; his eyes were so red that it was like he was crying blood. Felicity stared at the pir-like figure from the car¡¯s rearview mirror without blinking. She took a deep breath; her eyes bloodshot red and she said, ¡°What¡¯s the use ofing to me now? This type of man deserves to be single for the rest of his life.¡± Ronald shook his head amusedly and asked, ¡°Would you consider giving me a chance, then? Hmm?¡± Felicity was taken aback for a while. ¡°Stop ying around. Didn¡¯t we agree to just be bros?¡± she responded. ¡°Yeah,¡± Ronald smiled disappointedly. He could not figure out how he could notpare to Davian. ¡®Maybe I¡¯m not her type,¡¯ he thought. Kisa suffered from insomnia the whole night, which caused her to wake upte the next day. She had promised the director that she would go on set today, so she hurriedly finished her breakfast and rushed to the set. It had rained all day yesterday, but it was sunny today. The sun¡¯s warmth felt good in the cool weather. Madalyn watched Kisa drive away in her car and quickly took out her phone to call Gilbert. ¡°She¡¯s gone. I think she¡¯s going to the set. Can you arrange for someone to follow her?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll just go to the set and look out for her.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Madalyn put down her phone, looking worried. ¡®Sigh. I wish my precious great- grandchild can be born soon so I wouldn¡¯t have to worry all day long about their mom not being careful enough.¡± Kisa was saying her lines with the male lead on set when she suddenly saw Gilbert walking in from the corner of her eye. She was in a daze, and the director yelled, ¡°Cut!¡± ¡°Focus, Kisa. We only have a few scenes left. Let¡¯s try to finish filming in these two days.¡± Kisa smiled apologetically at the director and said, ¡°Sorry, director.¡± She was distracted. The director was still wary of Gilbert, so he did not me or scold her. Instead, he just waved her off and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s have a break. I think you¡¯re getting tired. Let¡¯s take five.¡± Kisa walked over to the visiting area and stared at the man in front of her as she said, ¡°Why are you here?¡± The man¡¯s face looked a little tense, as if he was in a bad mood. ¡°Do you have toe to set and film?¡± It turned out that he was mad at her foring to set. ¡°Yes, I finish the things I start. There are only a few scenes left. I want to finish filming, or else I¡¯ll feel bad,¡± Kisa replied seriously. Gilbert did not say anything. Instead, he just nodded. ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll be here until you finish filming the show.¡± ¡°No, no, no. There¡¯s no need for that,¡± Kisa quickly waved her hands and said. ¡®You¡¯ll only be distracting me,¡¯ she thought. Gilbert stared at her and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want that, then you¡¯ll have to stoping to the set and just stay home and rest.¡± Kisa¡¯s face darkened, and she immediately stopped talking. ¡®He¡¯s threatening me again!¡¯ ¡°Wait here. I¡¯ll go grab some water for you,¡± Gilbert blurted. He then walked to the break area to pour Kisa a ss of water. Kisa was staring at his back mindlessly when she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1173 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1173 Chapter 1173 A Past That Couldn¡¯t Be Mentioned ¡°It seems like Mr. Kooper cares about you very much.¡± Kisa turned around subconsciously and saw Adrien standing behind her. Adrien¡¯s face had a tinge of sarcasm. For some reason, Kisa felt a little disgusted after looking at him. In the beginning, Adrien treated her pretty well. He was like an elder to her and he looked after her too. Kisa had always respected him considering the fact that he was her mother¡¯s friend. However, she felt like Adrien had be apletely different person after getting together with Carolyn. ¡°Mr. Tanner, you¡¯re here.¡± Kisa still talked to him politely despite what she thought of him. Adrien breathed out a swirl of cigarette smoke and looked in the direction where Gilbert left. Then, he chuckled and said, ¡°Indeed, people change. Even though Mr. Kooper did a lot of things to hurt you back then and he even tried to murder you and your baby in the prison by setting it on fire, he¡¯s be a better person now. Just look at how gentle he is to you. It¡¯s perfectly normal for you to want to forgive him.¡± Kisa had no idea why Adrien was bringing that up. She felt like Adrien was trying to remind her of her hatred for Gilbert. Kisa pursed her lips and kept her silence. Adrien looked at her and continued, ¡°However, this really is unfortunate for Jensen.¡± Kisa clenched her fists subconsciously. Jensen was a dark past she could not be reminded of. Her heart would be filled with guilt and despair whenever she heard about him. Adrien flicked the ash off his cigarette as a mournful look appeared on his face. It looked genuine. He lifted his head and said emotionally, ¡°Nobody would have an opinion if what happened to Jensen was purely an ident, and you got back together with Gilbert. However, if Jensen was set up and Gilbert was the reason why he fell into the river, could you really still live with it and spend the rest of your life with Gilbert happily?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Kisa could not help but shout. Her whole body was tensed, and she felt an indescribable awful feeling inside of her. She knew that she could not forget what happened, nor could she forgive Gilbert easily. However, she hated how other people would criticize her actions and try to take the moral high ground. The look on Adrien¡¯s face and his tone changed gentler after realizing that Kisa was angry. He stopped being so assertive. Then, he sighed. ¡°Okay, Kisa. I¡¯m not trying to me you for anything. I¡¯m just sad. I¡¯ve known Jensen for so long, and I¡¯m very fond of him. I just find it hard to ept that something like that happened to him. ¡°I¡¯d feel very bad whenever I think about the condition he¡¯s in now. I really wasn¡¯t trying to use you. After all, it¡¯s impossible for humans to control our emotions and desires.¡± Adrien¡¯s eyes turned red as he spoke. The pain he felt was genuine. Kisa was affected by his sorrowful emotions too. She took a deep breath and said softly, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I don¡¯t me you.¡± ¡°Actually, I just want to you tell you I¡¯ll be here if you ever want to avenge Jensen. Don¡¯t hesitate to tell me if you need help with anything.¡± Kisa pursed her lips tightly as she did not know how to respond to him. Avenge Jensen? Her will of doing that was very strong at the beginning, and she even wanted to end Gilbert¡¯s life personally back then. However, her eagerness for revenge had weakened after Gilbert treated her so gently. Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. She enjoyed how well Gilbert treated her, but at the same time, she was suffering deep inside. To be honest, she had no idea what she should do either. At that moment, Gilbert was already walking toward her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1174 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1174 Chapter 1174 Don¡¯t Treat Me So Well Adrien said to Kisa, ¡°Jensen did so much just to find out the truth about the fire back then. Then, something like this happened to him just because he was trying to protect the warden. He wouldn¡¯t have done everything for you and ruined his whole life if he knew that you¡¯d get back together with Gilbert. ¡°I just feel like whatever he¡¯s done isn¡¯t worth it. Just think about what I said,¡± he continued. Adrien left before Gilbert could make his way to them. Kisa stood there in ce. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. It was true that she was getting toofortable in Gilbert¡¯s bubble and that was ironic. Gilbert red at Adrien¡¯s back and asked, ¡°Why is Mr. Tanner here? What did he say to you? Why does your face look so weird?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Kisa replied tly and went to the middle of the set. Gilbert grabbed her arm. ¡°Have some water first.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I don¡¯t feel like drinking.¡± ¡°Just have a little bit, here¡­¡± ¡°I said I don¡¯t want to drink!¡± Kisa was very annoyed by how Gilbert forced her. She raised her arm and shrugged his hand off. The cup of water in the man¡¯s hand spilled all over the floor. Kisa opened her mouth as if she was about to say something but changed her mind in the end. Gilbert tightened his grip on the empty paper cup, and his lower jaw became very tense because of how furious he felt. Kisa gazed at him and said sarcastically, ¡°Actually, you¡¯re not supposed to treat me so well.¡± She could not live with how well he treated her, and howfortable she was bing. How well Gilbert treated her had brought her endless contradictions and guilt. Gilbert suppressed his anger and kept quiet. Then, he turned around and sat on the chair in the visiting area. Kisa looked away from him and strode toward the director. The paper cup in Gilbert¡¯s hand went out of shape. Gilbertughed at himself. ¡®It seems like she thinks it¡¯s a sin for me to treat her well now.¡® Gilbert and Kisa did not talk to each other for the next few days. They did not interact with each other at all despite sleeping in the same bed. Gilbert still treated her as well as before, but he did everything silently. Kisa did not let these things bother her and fully concentrated on her work. Three dayster, her show was finished filming smoothly. However, she had not met Jolina in a few days. She remembered that when she checked the director¡¯s shift schedule, she saw Jolina¡¯s name appearing in thest scene. Jolina was supposed to be in the scene as a servant to the female lead while both leads got married. However, somebody else had reced her when the time came to film thest scene. Jolina was a person who took her job very seriously. It was impossible for her to be absent from work for no reason. ¡®Did something bad happen?¡® Kisa took her phone out and gave Jolina a call when she was getting changed. But even after Kisa called her twice, Jolina did not pick up. Just as Kisa was about to give up, she suddenly received a text message from Jolina. Kisa quickly opened the text message. [Dear Kisa, something happened with my family, so I went back to take care of it. Don¡¯t worry about me.] ¡®Dear Kisa?¡® Kisa looked that the text message confusedly and felt a little strange. Jolina had never addressed her this way before, and she suspected that another person instead of Jolina herself sent the text message to her. As she was lost in thought, she noticed someone at the door. It was Gilbert. He did not look at her or call her name. Instead, he leaned on the door quietly. Kisa tried to hide her curiosity away and quickly got changed. Then, she walked toward him. ¡°You should go back for now. I have something else to do.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1175 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1175 Chapter 1175 Lighting the Way For Her ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Gilbert¡¯s tone sounded a little rough. Kisa pursed her lips and said tly, ¡°It¡¯s no big deal. I just want to visit a friend.¡± The man turned around and left without saying anything after hearing what she said. At first, Kisa thought that he had gotten mad and was going back on his own. However, she was surprised to see the man turn his head back to look at her after walking a few steps. Why are you still standing there? Come on, I¡¯ll take you to see your friend.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face looked emotionless, and his tone sounded very t too. Kisa bowed her head down and walked behind him. Then, they arrived at Jolina¡¯s ce. Kisa turned her head and said to Gilbert, ¡°Just wait for me in the car. I¡¯ll go up and have a look.¡± Gilbert did not say anything. Kisa then went out of the car alone after she said that. However, Gilbert followed her as soon as she was about to go up the stairs. Kisa slightly arched his brows. ¡°What¡­¡°¨C ¡°It¡¯s too boring in the car, so I¡¯ll just follow you.¡± The man spoke as he went past her and walked up the stairs. Kisa stared at his back for a while and went after him. Jolina lived in an old t and the staircase was not very well¨Clit. Gilbert stood at the corner of the stairs. Then, he switched on the shlight on his phone to light the way for Kisa. Kisa pursed her lips tightly as her mixed feelings welled up in her again. She tried her best not to be overwhelmed by her thoughts. Gilbert did not move when Kisa walked past him. He let her go before him. Kisa did not say anything and went upstairs quietly. Gilbert followed behind her and lit up the way for her. It was only two flights of stairs, but Kisa felt like she had been walking for a very long time. Kisa knocked on the door after she arrive at Jolina¡¯s front door. Nobody answered from inside. She bent down and looked through the door¡¯s gap. It waspletely dark inside as if nobody was in there. ¡®Could it be true that Jolina really went back to her hometown?¡® However, she just felt very suspicious after reading that text message. After all, if something really happened with her family Jolina could have picked up her phone when Kisa called her. Kisa just could not figure out why she had to send her a text message after that. A woman approached her when she was still thinking to herself. That woman seemed to be Jolina¡¯s neighbor. ¡°Hello there, are you looking for Jolina?¡± ¡°Yeah. Do you have any idea where she is?¡± Kisa quickly asked. The woman smiled and said, ¡°She went back to her hometown. I heard that one of her family members got sick and she went home. She left in a hurry, so I guess that¡¯s why she didn¡¯t manage to inform you and her other friends.¡± ¡°I see¡­ Okay, thanks.¡± Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Kisa felt a little more reassured after hearing what the woman said. It seemed like she was just being too paranoid. ¡°Don¡¯t mention it.¡± The woman smiled amiably and went back to her house. Kisa turned around and looked at Jolina¡¯s unit again. Then, she said to Gilbert, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go back.¡± Behind them, the woman suddenly stuck her head out of her window as soon as they left. There was a glint in her eyes. Kisa and Gilbert went back to the Kooper residence. Madalyn was already waiting at the door, looking restless. As soon as she saw their caring in, she immediately went up to them. ¡°Why did youe home sote today? I called you so many times and neither of you picked up!¡± Madalyn went right to Kisa¡¯s face and asked her tantly as soon as she got out of the car. Kisa was shocked. Then, she looked down to check her phone, only then realizing that it had been shut down. However, she could not figure out why Madalyn was so worried just because she came home a little later with Gilbert. Madalyn looked distressed and agitated. As she was still thinking to herself, Madalyn suddenly grabbed her arm and looked at her from head to toe. ¡°Nothing happened to you, right? Are you okay?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1176 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1176 Chapter 1176 Excessive Care Madalyn being excessively concerned for her made Kisa feel very uneasy and strange. Kisa withdrew her hand from Madalyn and said awkwardly, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m fine.¡± Madalyn scoffed scornfully after looking at how ufortable she felt. Then, she shifted her gaze to Gilbert, ¡°Is she really okay? Did you bring her to the hospital for a checkup or something like that?¡± ¡°Why would I do that out of the blue?¡± Gilbert chuckled and spoke. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Madalyn wanted to ask more questions. However, Gilbert smiled and interrupted her, ¡°Grandma, we¡¯re both really hungry. Let¡¯s go inside and have dinner.¡± ¡°Oh, yes, yes¡­ We¡¯ve got to let her eat.¡± Madalyn spoke as she hurriedly went into the house, ¡°George, tell the maid to start serving dinner now.¡± Kisa looked at Gilbert strangely. Gilbert said tly, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s wash our hands and eat.¡± The man went into the house before Kisa after saying that. Kisa shook her head confusedly. She could not understand what was happening with Madalyn again. ¡®Why is she more worried about me than Gilbert is?¡® In the washroom, Madalyn grabbed Gilbert¡¯s arm and asked softly, ¡°Why did youe home sote today? Is something wrong with the baby? Were you at the hospital with her?¡± ¡°Sigh. Grandma, how did youe up with something so dramatic?¡± ¡°Tsk. I¡¯m just worried. I don¡¯t want the slightest thing to go wrong with the baby inside of her.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Everything¡¯s fine. We only came backte because she wrapped up filmingte today.¡± The look on Madalyn¡¯s face turned stern. ¡°I told her to stop working, yet she just won¡¯t listen to me. She¡¯s just as stubborn as her mom. That¡¯s something I don¡¯t like about her.¡± Gilbert then responded with a smile, ¡°Okay, Grandma. Her show is finished filming. Today is thest day, and she won¡¯t have to work anymore tomorrow.¡± Madalyn¡¯s face looked more rxed after hearing what Gilbert said. ¡°That¡¯s good. Tell her to get some rest at home tomorrow and I¡¯ll get someone to make her some bone broth.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Kisa sat at the dining table and watched the two of them whispering to each other in front of the washroom. She frowned unhappily as she had a feeling that they were talking bad about her. After a while, Gilbert helped Madalyn and walked toward Kisa. Madalyn sat down at the table and said to Kisa, ¡°Dig in. Eat some more if there are any dishes you like.¡± Kisa nodded awkwardly. Then, she looked around the house, ¡°Where¡¯s Andrew and Ada?¡± ¡°They¡¯re still young and I didn¡¯t want them to go hungry. So, I told them to eat first. They¡¯re ying with their toys upstairs now.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Kisa nodded. For some reason, she felt like the atmosphere got very weird. Gilbert kept his silence and kept eating. Kisa stopped talking after that and started digging in. Madalyn nced at them. Then, she said to Kisa, ¡°Gilbert told me that your show is done filming, is that right?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great. You should just rest at home for the next few days and nourish your health.¡± ¡®In other words, isn¡¯t she just trying to restrict my freedom?¡® Kisa thought to herself as she asked intentionally, ¡°Can I go out to shop then?¡± ¡°Shop?¡± ¡°Yeah. What if + feel like buying something or taking a stroll at the park?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Madalyn was about to speak, but Gilbert interrupted her. ¡°Yeah, you can do that.¡± He understood Kisa¡¯s temper very well, and he knew that she would neverply if anyone were to stop her from doing anything she wanted. Kisa smiled. ¡°Good. Otherwise, I would die of boredom staying in this house all day.¡± Even though that was what Kisa said, the only thing she wanted to do was go to Athadale. Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday celebration would be held in three days, and she had to travel theretest by the day after tomorrow. She would have the chance to travel to Athadale secretly if she was allowed to leave the house. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1177 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1177 Chapter 1177 The Distance Between Us At night, after taking a shower, Kisa leaned on the headboard while reading a magazine. She thought that Gilbert would go to his study and work for a bit after showering. However, she was surprised to see him walking to the bed directly aftering out of the bathroom. Kisa quickly moved to the side, leaving a huge space on the bed for him. The man had looked emotionless for a few days, but she could feel that he was not in a very good mood. Kisa figured that he might still be angry at what happened several days ago. Kisa had no ns to cheer him up. Even though their dreary way of getting along with each other was a little suffocating, they could not find a better way to do it. After all, she was filled with contradictions and conflicts. She just could not figure out how to face him. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. So, she thought that it would be better for them to ignore each other like this. Gilbert gazed at Kisa¡¯s cold face for a second before he lifted the nket and sat on the bed. There was about one and a half feet distance between them, and a person could easily fit in the gap. Gilbert leaned against the headboard. Then, he grabbed a book about business strategy from the nightstand and started reading. However, he just could not find himself concentrating after looking at the book for a long time. He rubbed his sore temple and decided to lie down instead. Kisa looked at the time and it was only eight o¡¯clock. But the man beside her looked like he was about to sleep already. She pursed her lips and put away the magazine. Then, she stretched her arms out and switched off the light quietly. Suddenly, the room turnedpletely dark. Kisa somehow felt relieved after that. She leaned to the side and spaced out looking at the moon outside the window. She would fall asleep very soon whenever she lie on the bed by herself. But she just could not do that with another person lying beside her. Gilbert suddenly spoke when she was still trying to fall asleep. His voice always had a very low pitch. However, the darkness made it sound even deeper. ¡°Mr. Muller Sr.¡¯s birthday celebration ising soon. Are you nning to attend?¡± Kisa¡¯s heart dropped after hearing that. ¡®Didn¡¯t he talk with Davian to stop me from going, and he wasn¡¯t going to attend it himself too? ¡®Why would he suddenly ask me about it now? ¡®Is he just probing me because he figured that I might attend it behind his back?¡® Kisa thought to herself. Then, she asked him back, ¡°Are you?¡± Gilbert kept his silence for a while before he answered, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you if you really wish to be there, but I¡¯m not going to attend if you don¡¯t.¡± Kisa was still trying to figure out what he meant. Then, Gilbert added, ¡°You¡¯d better not go there alone behind my back!¡± Kisa was shocked again. She just had a feeling that Gilbert found out about something. She hesitated for a few seconds and said tly, ¡°I don¡¯t feel like going.¡± However, she still did not change her mind about going to Athadale alone secretly. She would have given herself away for having the ns to go there if she told him she felt like going. She did not want Gilbert to go there with her and restrict her actions there too. So, she decided to make that man think that she was not interested in attending the celebration. Then, she continued, ¡°There¡¯s nothing fun about those celebrations, not to mention that the Mullen family is the host. I never got along well with Anthony Mullen, so it¡¯s better for me to just stay home and rest.¡± Gilbert kept quiet for a while before he replied, ¡°Okay then. I¡¯ll get a gift and send them to the Mullen. family on your behalf.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Kisa responded and the room became silent again. They slept very far away from each other. If it were not for the sound of each other¡¯s breathing, they may as well have been sleeping alone. Kisa finally fell asleep after she tried to do so for some time. She could vaguely feel somebody hugging her cautiously while being half asleep as if that person was afraid of waking her up. She badly wanted to open her eyes and have a look. However, she was probably too tired. She groaned softly and fell back asleep. Two days passed. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1178 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1178 Chapter 1178 You¡¯d Better Not Hide From Me Kisa booked a flight ticket to Athadale in advance and her flight was set to take off at ten o¡¯clock in the morning. She woke up very early that day. However, she could never find herself waking up with Gilbert still sleeping beside her. The man would always wake up earlier than her. The weather began to turn colder, and she could already feel the chill running through her body in the morning. Kisa wore a rather thick winter dress and covered herself with a beige coat. She saw Gilbert and Madalyn there when she got downstairs. Gilbert immediately squinted as if he was not happy with what she wore when he saw her. Kisa was confused. ¡®Didn¡¯t he buy me this set of clothes and demanded me to wear them? ¡®Why doesn¡¯t he look happy at all now that I¡¯m wearing them?¡¯ ¡°Why are you dressing up so early in the morning? Do you have somewhere to be?¡± Gilbert asked when Kisa walked to them. His tone sounded so distant as if he was talking to a stranger. That was when Kisa realized that he was not upset about what she wore, but the fact that she was going out. Kisa did not dare to give herself away at all because she had a flight to catch. She took the breakfast from the maid and said to Gilbert, ¡°The weather feels nice today, so I want to take a stroll in the garden earlier.¡± Again, she felt like she was under their control after saying that because of how she had to report her whereabouts to them. Gilbert kept quiet, but Madalyn said, ¡°The air in the park does feel very good in the morning. I¡¯ll go with you in a while.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I want to spend some time alone.¡± Madalyn then scoffed scornfully in front of her. ¡°Go ahead if you want to be alone. Did you really think I want to take a stroll with you?¡± Kisa ate her breakfast emotionlessly, ignoring Madalyn¡¯s response. Then, Madalyn scoffed again and said, ¡°You can go out alone, but I¡¯m going to send two bodyguards to follow you.¡± Kisa immediately furrowed her brows, frowning. ¡°I don¡¯t want any bodyguards. How is this any different from spying on me?¡± She could never go to the airport secretly with the bodyguards around. ¡°There is a difference, of course. The bodyguards are there to keep you safe, not to spy on you.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t feel that way. I just want to take a stroll in the park, and I¡¯ll go to the office and have lunch with Gilbert after that. Why would I need bodyguards?¡± ¡°Why? T¨CThat¡¯s because¡­ because¡­¡± Madalyn nced at her belly angrily before shifting her gaze to Gilbert annoyedly. She just could not figure out what her grandson was thinking. She did not know why he had to hide the fact that Kisa was pregnant. Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. ¡°I don¡¯t care!¡± Madalyn said sternly after being mad for a while. ¡°Bring the bodyguards with you if you want to leave the house. Otherwise, you¡¯re not going anywhere!¡± Kisa got so mad, that sheughed, ¡°Who are you to limit my freedom like this? What are you going to do if I don¡¯t bring the bodyguards along?¡± She despised the feeling of being controlled. She just could not figure out what was happening to Madalyn and Gilbert. They just would not stop finding excuses to constrain her. Madalyn¡¯s face turned red because of how angry she was. She pounded the table, ¡°You¡¯ve got to¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough, Grandma!¡± Suddenly, Gilbert grabbed Madalyn¡¯s hand and consoled her, ¡°Just let her be if she wants to take a stroll in the garden alone. She won¡¯t be there for very long anyway. She¡¯ll be fine.¡± Madalyn was still glowering at Kisa furiously. Kisa felt ridiculous as she had done nothing wrong. Then, Gilbert suddenly looked at her and said in a very warm tonepared to before, ¡°Just let me know if you get hungryter. Send me your location and I¡¯ll pick you up from the park.¡± ¡°O¨COh¡­ okay.¡± Kisa quickly nodded. She had no problem with that as long as she could be alone. She would already be on the ne when they found out that she was not in the park. There would be nothing they could do about it by then. Gilbert suddenly added sternly as she was still thinking to herself, ¡°You¡¯d better not go anywhere else or hide from me. Otherwise¡­¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1179 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1179 Chapter 1179 Lying to Him Gilbert narrowed his eyes toward the end of the sentence. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Even though he did not finish the sentence, Kisa could clearly feel the threat in his words. She was left speechless. ¡®Who are they to restrict my freedom?¡® The point was, she could do nothing to resist their restriction. Gilbert went to the office after breakfast. Once he left, Madalyn red at Kisa, her eyes zing with malice. Kisa pretended not to see the murderous look in Madalyn¡¯s eyes and continued to have her meal. After the meal, she went out. Fearing that Gilbert could trace the location of her car, Kisa went out on foot toward the courtyard instead of driving. Madalyn stood in the courtyard, watching as Kisa disappeared through the entrance, and then she snorted, ¡°If she wasn¡¯t carrying the Kooper family¡¯s offspring, I wouldn¡¯t have cared about her. She¡¯s really pissing me off.¡± George smiled and asked, ¡°Would you like me to send a bodyguard to follow Mrs. Kooper?¡± ¡°Never mind, you¡¯d better not. She might get offended and snitch on me to Gilbert,¡± Madalyn said. ¡°I won¡¯t put up with her anymore after the baby is born.¡± Because of time constraints, Kisa hailed a cab on the side of the road after leaving the Kooper residence. She first asked the cab driver to drive her to the nearest park. When she arrived, she walked a short distance in the park and then took a few photos and some selfies with the park as the background. Following that, she left the park and got into the cab again. ¡°To the airport, please,¡± she told the cab driver and checked the time. There were still two hours left before boarding time, so she had plenty of time. In the CEO office of GK Pictures, Gilbert pushed away the contract in front of him with irritation. He had been so unsettled today that he could not get anything done. Leaning back in his chair, he massaged his aching forehead. ¡®If only she were here. Her presence may distract me, but at least she could lift my spirits.¡¯ He gazed at the ceiling and sighed. He knew that Kisa did not love him and that she was with him to seek revenge, but he was still thinking about her and loving her anyway. The more he thought about it, the more distraught he was, and the more eager he was to see her. He checked his watch; it was almost 10.00 am. ¡®She should be hungry by now. If I drive over to pick her up, and then go to the restaurant, I¡¯ll make it just in time for lunch.¡® He took out his cell phone and called Kisa. Kisa was already on the ne at that moment. As the ne had not taken off yet, she had not turned off her cell phone. When Gilbert called, she tensed up and felt a sh of guilt. But then she felt that her reaction was a bit ridiculous, as she realized she had done nothing wrong. With this thought in mind, she answered the call calmly. ¡°Where are you?¡± ¡°At the park.¡± Kisa lied through her teeth as she nced at passengers walking down the aisle. Gilbert frowned as he heard the noise in the background over the phone. ¡°Is the park noisy?¡± ¡°Yeah, so many people areing to the park at this hour.¡± Kisa kept lying. A man sitting next to her nced at her with a sh of contempt, thinking she must be a bad woman full of lies. Gilbert did not doubt it. He asked, ¡°Are you hungry? Do you want me to pick you up?¡± Kisa instantly panicked. ¡°No, it is okay. I¡¯m not hungry yet.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1180 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1180 Chapter 1180 He¡¯s My Husband ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re not hungry now.

Better get busy with work first. I will take a cab to your ce by myselfter.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m not busy.¡± ¡°But then you¡¯d have to spend a lot of time traveling back and forth. It¡¯d be more convenient for me to take a cab to your ce by myself.¡± Gilbert could not help but frown with suspicion when she repeatedly refused. ¡°You aren¡¯t in a park, are you? ¡°How can that be? I¡¯m right here in a park.¡± ¡°Alright, then send me your location.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not convenient for me now. Just wait,¡± Kisa said, desperate to hang up the phone. ¡°You¡¯re definitely not in a park. Where are you now?¡± His voice turned cold at once. ¡°I¡¯m really in a park. I will take a few selfies for you to see if you don¡¯t believe me,¡± Kisa said and hung up the phone, then sent him all the photos she had just taken. After that, she sent another message. [My phone is running out of battery, and I¡¯m going to shut it off. You don¡¯t have toe pick me up. I will take a cab to your officeter]. She turned her phone off after the message was sent. Coincidentally, by then ne had already started taxiing and the crew on board was reminding the passengers to turn their phones off or put them into airne mode. Kisa leaned back in her seat to rest. But after a while, she sensed that something was wrong, as if someone was gawking at her in a way that was too much for her liking. She opened her eyes and saw a young guy next to her staring at her with contempt. Perhaps seeing her suddenly open her eyes, the young guy quickly looked away with embarrassment. She stared back at him, wondering if she had done something that had offended him, causing him to stare at her like that. Perhaps sensing Kisa¡¯s resentment, he looked back at her. ¡°Look, I know I just looked at you in a not¨Cso¨Cfriendly way, but I just couldn¡¯t stand to see you cheat on your boyfriend. You¡¯re obviously on a ne now. Why did you lie to your boyfriend and say that you were in a park? Two people in love should be honest with each other. It¡¯ll only sadden him and cause unnecessary misunderstanding by lying to him like this.¡± Kisa was speechless. ¡®Are kids so nosy nowadays? He looks like a judge in a court of rtionships with how indignant and earnest he seems.¡® Kisa put on her mask and smiled at him. ¡°The person who just called me is not my boyfriend.¡± The young guy was stunned, scratching his head with embarrassment. ¡°Oh, he¡¯s not your boyfriend? I¡¯m sorry I misunderstood you. I heard your tone of voice and assumed you were talking to your boyfriend.¡± ¡°Nope, he¡¯s my husband.¡± The young guy was stunned again and looked even more shocked. Kisa burst into stifledughter and felt better now, finding it fun to tease the young guy. But he nced at her with even more contempt, then looked away and ignored her. In the CEO¡¯s office of GK Pictures, Gilbert kept studying the photos Kisa had sent. The photos were indeed of a park, and she was in the same clothes she had been wearing today. It looked like she was really in a park and had not lied to him, but he could not figure out why she did not let him go to pick her up.

Finally, around eleven o¡¯clock, he got up, stood by the window, and looked down. There was not a single cab downstairs, let alone Kisa. He wondered if she had charged her phone. Hoping for the best, he called her again. However, her phone was still off. He frowned, feeling uneasy again. Just at that moment, Madalyn called him on the phone. ¡°Hello, Gilbert. Did that woman go to your ce?¡± ¡°No, she¡¯s still taking a stroll in the park.¡± ¡°Impossible. I sent someone to look for her at the nearby park, but they couldn¡¯t find her,¡± Madalyn said, getting worried. Earlier, she was afraid that something might have happened to Kisa, so she sent someone to look for Kisa at several nearby parks. But, Kisa was nowhere to be found. That was why she called Gilbert to see if Kisa had gone to his ce. However, Gilbert did not see Kisa either. ¡®What should we do? That woman always roams around. What if she identally hurts the baby in her womb?¡® she thought to herself. Gilbert¡¯s face sank, but he still reassured his grandmother. ¡°It¡¯s okay. She is probably at another park. She just sent me photos.¡± ¡°But, I have searched all the nearby parks, and she is nowhere to be seen.¡± ¡°She is probably on her way to my office, then.¡± ¡°I sent someone to the park to look for her long ago. Hasn¡¯t she gone to your office after all this time?¡± Madalyn sounded anxious. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Grandma. She is an adult, and she will be fine no matter where she goes.¡± Gilbert kept smiling and reassured Madalyn. ¡°I¡¯m certainly not worried about her. I¡¯m worried about my great¨Cgrandchild. I can¡¯t afford to let anything go wrong with the baby.¡± ¡°Very well, Grandma. Just rx. I will let you know when she arrives.¡± ¡°Okay, then.¡± After hanging up the phone, Gilbert¡¯s face looked horribly grim. He quickly flipped through the photos Kisa had sent him and looked at them again. This time, he examined them carefully. ¡®The sunlight in the photos looks warm and dazzling, clearly the early morning sunrise. The sunlight couldn¡¯t have been like this when she sent me the photos at 10.00 am. So, she couldn¡¯t have been at the park at 10.00 am. She lied to me! I was too careless and was fooled.¡® Thinking of this, he clutched his phone. His eyes looked appallingly frosty. Gilbert immediately sent his men out to look for Kisa. ¡®I have no problem with it if she goes out alone to shop and hang out alone. The point is she lied to me, which means she must be doing something I don¡¯t approve of. But, what could it be? Now that the filming is over, Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. what else is there that I won¡¯t let her do? Could it be that she is going to Athadale for the birthday celebration? But, she clearly said that she didn¡¯t want to go. If she really wanted to go, I would apany her. She didn¡¯t have to be so secretive.¡® He tugged at his tie irritably and sat down in his chair. For now, he could only wait for his subordinates to update him. He told himself that he would not spare her if she did sneak off to Athadale. Kisa had fallen asleep on the ne, and it was the cabin announcement that woke her up. She rubbed her eyes and stretched out when the ne started to descend. A sudden surge of acid reflux in her stomach followed, exactly the same as when the ne took off earlier. She was getting airsick. It was probably because she had not flown in a long time. She covered her mouth and held the back of the seat in front of her as she retched in difort. The young man beside her looked at her, took a bag out of his backpack, and gave it to her. ¡°A¨CAre you okay?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1182 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1182 Chapter 1182 Running Into The Mullen Family Kisa took the bag. ¡°Thank you,¡± she said and quickly opened the vomit bag and threw up. She had vomited during the takeoff, but it was much better. This time, it felt really terrible as her stomach was churning like crazy. Hearing the voices of disgust around her, she quickly wiped her mouth with a tissue and then tied the bag up. She decided not to wear the mask after vomiting. The young man beside her saw her face and curiously asked, ¡°Are you the actress named Kisa or something?¡± Kisa¡¯s face was pale, and she smiled feebly at the young man. ¡°You think it¡¯s possible for a superstar like her to throw up so miserably here without even a bodyguard around?¡± The young man nodded. ¡°You have a point.¡± As they spoke, the ne touched down and started taxiing. Kisa kept breathing in and out to relieve herself. The ne came to a stop and the cabin door in the front opened after taxiing for a while. As she was sitting in the back, she did not get up but waited. She heard the sounds of phones being turned on all around her, as they interspersed with the cell phone beeps. She also took her phone out. As she turned it on, a barrage of missed call alerts popped up at once. Kisa scrolled through the missed call log and found that it was all Gilbert¡¯s and Madalyn¡¯s calls. She figured they must have found out by now that she did not go to the park and that Gilbert must be furious now. She deleted the missed call log and put the phone away, not intending to call them back. Suddenly, the voice of the young man answering his phone sounded next to her. ¡°I got it, mom. I¡¯m getting off the ne right now¡­ But, isn¡¯t grandpa¡¯s birthday party tomorrow? There is still time to prepare the gift¡­ Okay, I know. Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively thought of Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday when the young man mentioned a birthday party. ¡®It couldn¡¯t be so coincidental. This young man looks down¨Cto¨Cearth, unlike those people from the Mullen family.¡® In her mind, Kisa felt that the Mullen family members were all as sinister and treacherous as Anthony. Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. The passengers started to get off the ne. But, Kisa was not in a hurry, as she wanted to wait for everyone else to get off before she did. The young man seemed to be in a hurry and got up at once. ¡°Excuse me, please,¡± he said. Kisa then had to get up and make way for him. After the young man left, she sat back down and leaned back in her seat to wait. As everyone else had almost disembarked, she grabbed her bag. Just then, she noticed something on the seat next to her. Out of curiosity, she picked it up and found that it was a crystal pendant, which had a photo of the young man and a girl iid. The two of them looked very intimate, like a couple. Kisa hurriedly searched for the young man, but he had just left the cabin. So, she grabbed the pendant and went after him. The airport was enormous. She looked around for some time before she found him. Judging from the way he treated her, she figured he must be a person who treated rtionships seriously, and if so, the pendant must be important to him. For the sake of him giving her a vomit bag, Kisa decided to return the pendant to him. The young man moved quickly, as if he was in a hurry. So, Kisa had to run after him. After exiting the terminal, Kisa saw a car pull up in front of the young man before she could catch up to him. She froze when she saw the man who had stepped out of the car. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1183 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1183 Chapter 1183 Full of Lies ¡®Isn¡¯t that Anthony? My God, that young man is really a member of the Mullen family. No wonder he mentioned his grandfather¡¯s birthday party while talking on the phone just now. So, does this mean that Mr. Mullen Sr. is the young man¡¯s grandfather?¡® The car drove away after the young man got into it. Kisa stared at the pendant in her hand for a long time as a thought shed across her mind. Inside the car, the young man, Arthur Mullen, held his backpack and smiled at Anthony.¡± Thanks for picking me up, Uncle Anthony.¡± Anthony grunted, ¡°If I don¡¯t pick you up, who will? How can I let you take a cab back? You are too precious to your grandfather.¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Arthur smiled even brighter. ¡°Uncle Anthony, you treat me the best.¡± ¡°Come on, stop ttering me. Your grandfather likes you the most. Don¡¯t forget to put in a few good words for me in front of himter,¡± Anthony said absently. Arthur shook his head. ¡°Nah, Grandpa likes you too. He says you are better than my dad.¡± Anthony snickered and said nothing, as he thought to himself, ¡®If my father really thinks I¡¯m better than his eldest son, then he wouldn¡¯t have entrusted all the Mullen family business to him. My existence is merely a foil for the rest of the Mullen family¡¯s descendants.¡¯ ¡°Uncle Anthony, let me tell you a funny story.¡± Seeing that Anthony¡¯s expression was not quite right, Arthur quickly changed the subject. ¡°I just met a woman on the ne. She was really full of lies. When she was talking to her husband on the phone, she brazenly lied. Uncle Anthony, don¡¯t you think that¡¯s not right? Shouldn¡¯t husbands and wives, including lovers, be honest with each other?¡± Anthony was amused. ¡°Since when do you care about all this rtionship stuff? What? You have a girlfriend?¡± ¡°Nah.¡± Arthur smiled coyly. ¡°I¡¯m just wondering why two people are still together when there are so many lies between them.¡± ¡°It depends on what the lie is. Sometimes, those lies have to exist. Otherwise, the rtionship may not last. Understand?¡± ¡°If they can¡¯t keep the rtionship going, then why are they still together?¡± Arthur was full of questions at the age of about eighteen, as he was still ignorant of rtionships. ¡°And what if the two still love each other?¡± Anthony asked. Arthur got more and more confused. He wanted to ask again when Anthony interrupted him impatiently. ¡°Oh, right. You¡¯re still young, so you won¡¯t understand even if I tell you.¡± Arthur pouted and then asked, ¡°By the way, Uncle Anthony, you¡¯re not young. When will you get married? I¡¯m looking forward to your wedding party.¡± Anthony could not help but think of Lea¡¯s sobbing face at the mention of this. He tugged at his tie in annoyance. ¡°It¡¯s still too early to talk about that, so don¡¯t look forward to it.¡± Arthur grunted and stopped talking. At the terminal exit, Kisa sat on a stone pier holding her tummy to catch her breath. Perhaps she had run too much, as her stomach hurt. She only felt better after sitting and resting for a while. Just then, her phone rang. She nced down at it and found that it was Gilbert calling. Panicked, she sat back down, calmed herself down, and answered the phone. ¡°Where are you?¡± Gilbert immediately asked, forcing his words through his teeth as soon as the phone was connected. His low voice was reeking of hostility. Kisa breathed out to calm herself down. ¡°I was out shopping.¡± If she told him that she was in Athadale, he would be furious ande after her immediately. She figured that since she had already lied to him in the beginning, she had to continue to lie. ¡°Where are you shopping? Why was your phone off?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1184 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1184 Chapter 1184 Are You Sure You¡¯re Not Blind? ¡°Didn¡¯t I already tell you? My phone battery died. My phone just regained some battery after I found a charging outlet at the mall,¡± Kisa said. Gilbert did not believe her. He stood in front of his desk, and his fingers almost crushed the edge of the desk into smithereens. But, he held back his anger. ¡°Send me your location. I¡¯ll go find you.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. I¡¯m done, and I¡¯m about to leave soon. It¡¯ll be reallyte if I wait for you to come here.¡± Gilbert took a deep breath. ¡°You better not lie to me!¡± ¡°Why would I? I wouldn¡¯t dare lie to you,¡± Kisa lied through her teeth. Gilbert gritted his teeth. ¡°Alright. Half an hour. I¡¯ll let you have it if you don¡¯te back in half an hour.¡± ¡°Okay! Okay!¡± Kisa nodded and quickly hung up. ¡®It¡¯s better not to leave my phone on,¡® she thought. Then, Kisa turned off her phone. ¡®That way, it¡¯ll be quieter. Once I find a ce to stay and get some proper rest, I¡¯ll tell him the truth,¡¯ she thought again. Felicity was nearby. She took off her sunsses with a smile and nced at the woman on the stone bord. ¡®What a coincidence to actually stumble upon this woman here. But, this is strange. Doesn¡¯t Gilbert always cling to this woman? Why is this woman at Athadale without Gilbert by her side?¡® she wondered. Felicity walked to the side and searched for Gilbert¡¯s number. Then, she called him. Gilbert had been tense the entire afternoon. Now that he finally got news about the woman, he sat unmoving in his chair as if the energy in his body had been suddenly depleted. Suddenly, the phone rang. Gilbert thought that it was a call from Kisa, so he hurriedly picked up without even looking. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Do you need me to pick you up?¡® ¡°Pfft!¡± Felicity could not help butugh. Gilbert frowned deeply. He moved his phone away slightly and saw that the caller ID indicated ¡°Felicity Jennings.¡± A hint of disdain shed across his eyes. Just as he was about to hang up, Felicityughed hastily, ¡°Are you at Athadale? Why did you leave your woman all alone at the airport exit?¡± Gilbert froze. Then, he asked in a tense voice, ¡°Where did you say she is? Which airport?¡± ¡°Athadale¡¯s.¡±Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert¡¯s expression immediately darkened as he instinctively responded, ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± ¡®After all, a moment ago, that woman had just sworn that she was shopping at the mall and that she¡¯d be back in half an hour. She dared to make up such a lie when she was actually in Athadale?¡® he thought. ¡°Hah. If you don¡¯t believe me, so be it. After all, she¡¯s sitting on a stone bord a couple of feet away from me. She also seemed like she was chasing after a handsome young man just now.¡± ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re not blind?¡± Gilbert still did not dare to believe it. It was not that he did not believe Felicity¡¯s words, but he did not believe that Kisa would actually lie to him. ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s blind. I was kind enough to tell you your woman¡¯s whereabouts, and you cursed me to go blind! I¡¯m done talking. If your wife gets kidnapped, don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you!¡± Felicity said angrily and hung up. With a deep frown, Gilbert quickly searched for Kisa¡¯s phone number and called her. ¡°Sorry, the number you are calling is currently switched off!¡± ¡°Kisa Becker!¡± he growled lowly through gritted teeth. In an instant, his phone was flung away and smashed into pieces. Coincidentally, Davian came in. When he saw Gilbert¡¯s dark expression, he could not help but warily ask, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Mr. Kooper?¡± Gilbert did not say a word. Instead, he grabbed his coat from the back of his chair and walked out. Davian hurriedly asked, ¡°Where are you going, Mr. Kooper?¡± Davian looked exhausted. He had bloodshot eyes with dark eye circles, and he looked like he did not sleep well. Ever since he got dumped by Felicity that night, he had been drinking all day. He was no longer his usual energetic self. ¡°To Athadale!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1185 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1185 Chapter 1185 Bumping Into a Familiar Face Gilbert replied coolly and had already walked to the door of the CEO¡¯s office. Davian nodded with his head lowered. He looked dispirited. ¡°Felicity is in Athadale too.¡± Suddenly, Gilbert¡¯s voice, which mingled with the sound of the door opening, floated over. Davian was stunned. A momentter, he quickly followed Gilbert. ¡°Mr. Kooper, Felicity¡¯s back in Athadale? Since when?¡± he asked. Gilbert ignored him and strode toward the elevator door, feeling incredibly irritated at the moment. ¡®How dare Kisa lie to me this way! I¡¯m so angry!¡® he thought. Seeing Gilbert¡¯s furious expression, Davian did not dare to ask any more questions. He quickly said, ¡°I¡¯ll book the tickets now, Mr. Kooper. I¡¯ll follow you to Athadale!¡± At the square outside of the Athadale airport, Kisa was sitting on a stone bord. Her stomach finally stopped hurting after she rested there for a while. * Then, she took out a notepad from her bag and checked the name of the hotel she had pre- booked. The hotel Kisa had booked was close to the Mullen family¡¯s residence. ¡®It¡¯ll be more convenient when I attend Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday banquet,¡® she thought. Just as Kisa opened her notepad, a pair of silver stilettoes came into view. She trailed her gaze along the stilettoes and looked up. Then, she saw Felicity with a bright smile on her face. ¡°Hey, Mrs. Kooper! What a coincidence.¡± To Kisa, Athadale was still a rtively unfamiliar ce. Even though she had been here twice, she came with someone both times, so she did not feel a sense of hesitation the previous times. However, Kisa came alone this time. Other than feeling a sense of unfamiliarity, she also felt clueless and helpless. That was why she felt happy and had a sense of familiarity seeing Felicity here. ¡°What a coincidence,¡± Kisa quickly stood up. She continued, ¡°Did you return from Calthon?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I was invited to Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday banquet, so I rushed back to attend it. Kisa was shocked. ¡°You¡¯re also attending Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday banquet?¡± This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Mhm. You¡¯re also here to attend the birthday banquet, right?¡± Felicity asked and deliberately nced at the space beside Kisa with a smile, ¡°Huh? Are you alone? Where¡¯s your clingy husband?¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes glinted. Then, she smiled, ¡°He¡¯s busy. I didn¡¯t want to bother him, so I came alone.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Felicity nodded with a smile. However, she did not expose Kisa. She continued, ¡°By the way, do you have a ce to say? If you don¡¯t, you could stay at my ce!¡± ¡°No, no, no¡­¡± Kisa waved her hands in a panic, ¡°I¡¯ve already booked a hotel.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do. It¡¯s not safe for a woman to stay in a hotel alone. Stay at my ce. I live alone anyway. Besides, we could go to the birthday banquet together tomorrow.¡± Felicity was very enthusiastic. However, Kisa still felt a little hesitant. After all, she and Felicity were not particrly close, so it did not seem appropriate to stay at her house. Felicity grabbed Kisa¡¯s hands as if she saw through her worries. Then, she smiled in a friendly manner, ¡°There¡¯s no need to be shy. Based on my rtionship with Mr. Kooper, you can stay at my house forever, as long as you want to.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°No buts. Come on! Judging from how pale you look, you must have motion sickness. Hurry up and rest at my ce. My car is parked at the parking lot nearby,¡± Felicity said while pulling Kisa toward the parking lot. Kisa smiled and stopped refusing. ¡®Naturally, staying at Felicity¡¯s is a good thing. Number one, it¡¯s convenient; number two, I¡¯ll be safe,¡® she thought. By eight o¡¯clock in the evening, Gilbert was finally on a flight heading to Athadale. Throughout the journey, Gilbert had an incredibly dark expression that looked terrifying. Davian said to him cautiously, ¡°Judging from the time, we should reach Athadale at twelve- thirty midnight.¡± ¡°Hoho!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1186 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1186 Chapter 1186 I Want to Sit Beside the Handsome Man Gilbert chuckled icily at Davian. Then, he said through suppressed anger, ¡°I waited at the airport for four whole hours.¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Davian¡¯s smile stiffened, and his voice turned quieter, ¡°It can¡¯t be helped, Mr. Kooper. There weren¡¯t any tickets left for earlier flights to Athadale. Only the one at this hour was left. The flights after this one are at a muchter time.¡± Gilbert closed his eyes as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger. The flight cabin was a little noisy. Since it was boarding time for the flight passengers, many were walking on the aisles. Davian watched as Gilbert¡¯s expression grew darker. He quietly defended himself. ¡°Sorry, Mr. Kooper. Since you wanted to go to Athadale early, this was the only earliest flight avable. And, the business ss tickets were sold out, so¡­ So, we have to sit in economy ss.¡± Then, a plump middle¨Cageddy came forcing her way in, ¡°Excuse me, handsome. Hurry up and make way. I want to I want to go in.¡± Davian quickly stood up and moved aside. Meanwhile, Gilbert did not move. He clenched his fists and ced them on his knees. Davian could clearly detect his anger. He quickly grabbed the plump middle¨Cageddy and said with a smile, ¡°Can I switch seats with you, ma¡¯am?¡± The middle¨Cageddy was startled. ¡°Where¡¯s your seat?¡± ¡°Here. This is the one. It¡¯s by the aisle.¡± Thedy looked at Gilbert, who was sitting in the middle. A momentter, she nodded in agreement, ¡°Alright, then.¡± Right after thedy answered, Davian hurriedly shoved Gilbert on the shoulder, ¡°Move inside, Mr. Kooper. Sit by the window.¡± ¡®If Mr. Kooper sits at the innermost seat, he won¡¯t get disturbed by others moving in and out,¡® he thought. However, the middle¨Cageddy suddenly changed her mind when she saw Gilbert preparing to get up. ¡°No, no, no¡­ I won¡¯t be switching seats with you anymore. I want to sit beside the handsome man.¡± Davian looked awkward. ¡®She¡¯s already a middle¨Cageddy. Why is she still into handsome men? Besides, am I not a handsome man? Even though I¡¯m not as good¨Clooking as Mr. Kooper, I¡¯m still a handsome man, okay?!¡® he thought. ¡°I won¡¯t be switching seats. I want to sit at the innermost seat,¡± thedy said. Then, she forcefully squeezed her way in as if she was worried that someone would steal her seat. While thedy was forcing her way in, her two-hundred-pound figure caused Gilbert to topple back into the chair. Since Gilbert was already in a bad mood, this made his anger go up a notch. He clenched his fists tightly and looked as though he was about to explode. Davian grabbed his arm in a panic. ¡°Mr. Kooper, I¡¯ll change seats with you. You¡¯ll sit in the outermost seat. Sit at the outmost seat.¡± he whispered. Then, he quickly helped Gilbert into the outermost seat. The middle¨Cageddy was instantly displeased. Sheined, ¡°I want to sit beside the handsome man. Stop changing seats, you two. Let me sit beside the handsome man.¡± Davian was enraged. He shot daggers at her. ¡°How is the two of us changing seats any of your business? You just have to stay put in your own seat.¡± Thedy mumbled something and stopped talking. With a tense expression on his handsome face, Gilbert clenched his fists tightly. Then, he said to Davian through gritted teeth, ¡°Next time, if the Kooper family¡¯s helicopter is not repaired on time when it¡¯s out of service, I¡¯ll hold you ountable.¡± Davian pouted helplessly, ¡°But, that¡¯s not within my job scope.¡± The two initially nned to use the Kooper family¡¯s helicopter since they could not book any tickets. However, the helicopter had somehow broken down and could not work at all. Davian ran out of ideas, so he quickly booked two tickets for the earliest flight. ¡®Even though it¡¯s economy ss, we can arrive at Athadale earlier,¡® he thought. ¡°Whoa! Is this where you stay?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1187 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1187 Chapter 1187 | Really Do Have to Thank Your Husband In front of Kisa was a double¨Cstory wooden loft with a brightly lit attic. There was a massive tree in the courtyard that had tables and chairs ced beneath, all of which were adorned with decorative lights. They looked bright, rxing, and romantic. There were also some flowers and nts un one side of the courtyard. Next to the flowers and nts were some rattan swing chairs. Kisa really liked the environment. It feltfortable and rxing. ¡°Yep. This is my long¨Cterm residence at Athadale. Come on. Let¡¯s go inside,¡± Felicity said with a smile. Then, she walked into the house while pulling her luggage in one hand and holding Kisa in the other. ¡°You¡¯re home, Ms. Jennings,¡± two servants greeted them by the door. One of the servants took the luggage from Felicity¡¯s hand while the other led them to the dining hall. ¡°Ms. Jennings, we prepared dinner beforehand since you told us that you¡¯d being home.¡± ¡°Thank you. That¡¯ll be all for now.¡± ¡°Yes, Ms. Jennings.¡± After dismissing the servants, Felicity enthusiastically pulled Kisa into a chair in the dining hall. There were ten exquisite dishes on the dining table. Kisa scanned their surroundings and asked in confusion, ¡°Do you really live alone?¡± ¡°Yeah. But now that you¡¯re here, I won¡¯t feel bored for the next few days.¡± Felicity said while filling a bowl of soup for Kisa. Kisa quickly took the bowl and said, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°The truth is, my family are all in Athadale,¡± Felicity said. Kisa turned to her, puzzled. ¡°Then, why aren¡¯t you staying with them? Wouldn¡¯t it be livelier to stay together?¡± Felicity smiled sadly. ¡°That¡¯s because they want to marry me off. I refused, so I moved out. Back then, my family provided me with food and amodation. I was useless. They were certain that I couldn¡¯t survive if I moved out, so they told me that I¡¯ll have to ept the marriage they arranged if I wished to return to the Jennings family.¡± Kisa pursed her lips. ¡®Every family has their own problems,¡® she thought. ¡°But, I¡¯ve always been a stubborn person,¡± Felicity suddenly smiled. Then, she continued, ¡°I¡¯d rather starve to death than marry someone I¡¯ve never even met. Otherwise, life would be so meaningless.¡± ¡°So, what happened after that?¡± Everyone had different views on feelings and marriage, so Kisa did not express her opinions. ¡°What happened after that¡­¡± Felicity gave Kisa a few chicken nuggets. Kisa smiled in embarrassment, ¡°You¡¯re too kind.

She was more used to hearing the name ¡°Gilbert Kooper.¡± Hearing the phrase ¡°your husband¡± always made her freeze. Then, she would remain startled for a while before she realized that they were talking about Gilbert. ¡°Back then, I was in a washed¨Cup state. Thedies and gents who were really close to me all stopped talking to me. Just as I was about topromise with my family, I met your husband.¡± Kisa listened in silence. This was her first¨Ctime hearing others talking about Gilbert¡¯s past. ¡°Back then, I was being mocked and picked on by my then¨Cnemesis. I was even beaten up ck and blue, so I hid in a corner and cried. Then, your husband suddenly showed up in front of me and asked what I was good at.¡± Kisa was a little intrigued. She asked with a smile, ¡°What did you answer?¡± ¡°At the time, I didn¡¯t really know what I was good at. All I did was eat and y. And so, I said I was good at eating.¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Kisa could not help but let out a muffledugh. Felicity said in amusement, ¡°Don¡¯t even get me started. This skill of mine actually helped me. Your husband immediately handed me a card and told me, since you¡¯re good at eating, go open a restaurant. If you seed in doing so, pay me back. And if you don¡¯t seed, I¡¯ll just take it as a failed investment.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1188 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1188 Chapter 1188 He Was Considered Widowed Back Then Hearing this, Kisa could not help butugh. ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell he was such a helpful person.¡± ¡°Right?!¡± Felicity continued, ¡°I asked him back then why he helped me. Guess what he said?¡± ¡°What did he say?¡± Kisa was a little curious. ¡®After all, Gilbert doesn¡¯t seem like someone who would interfere with other people¡¯s affairs. Moreover, he isn¡¯t particrly kind, either. He doesn¡¯t have a reason to fund someone who has nothing to do with him unless he was interested in Felicity back then. But that¡¯s impossible. If he was interested in Felicity, he wouldn¡¯t have introduced her to Davian,¡® she thought. While Kisa was in deep thought, Felicity suddenly shed her an odd smile, ¡°At the time, he said, that was how his wife was bullied when she was younger.¡± ¡± Kisa froze. Felicity peered at her eagerly, ¡°You¡¯re the only wife he has, right? Tsk, tsk. You two have known each other since childhood, huh? A rtionship that¡¯s over ten years. How romantic! ¡®I envy a love like this, a marriage thatsts over time. Even though Davian initially didn¡¯t meet my requirements for consideration, we liked each other, so I epted him. But that man¡¯s a loser; I always had to make the first move, and he would always leave me behind,¡± thought Felicity. Upon thinking of Davian, Felicity felt a tightness in her chest. Meanwhile, Kisa had many thoughts running through her head because of Felicity¡¯s words. She asked Felicity, ¡°When did you and Gilbert meet?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ Let me think¡­¡± Felicity said. After thinking for a while, she continued, ¡°I think it was in 2016.¡± ¡®2016? Isn¡¯t that the second year after my ¡°death¡°? I didn¡¯t know Gilbert was still thinking about me then,¡® thought Kisa. Seeing Kisa in a daze, Felicity suddenly said earnestly, ¡°Mr. Kooper really is a good man and a good husband. He¡¯s almost always thinking about you. I¡¯ve seen too many couples that seem intimate on the surface but are actually not, so I started feeling repulsed about the subject of marriage. To be honest, I¡¯m quite envious of you.¡± Kisa suppressed the mix of emotions she felt within and said teasingly, ¡°Why weren¡¯t you interested in Gilbert when he assisted you financially? Normally, in stories like that, you, as the woman, should devote yourself to him.¡± ¡°Blegh! Didn¡¯t he have you as his wife back then? I have morals; I will never be the third party or a ¡®lightbulb¡® in someone¡¯s rtionship.¡± Felicity said earnestly with a rather cute expression. Kisa lowered her gaze and smiled, ¡°Wasn¡¯t I ¡®dead¡® at the time? He was considered widowed back then.¡± ¡°Widowed my *ss!¡± Felicity suddenly cussed as if she remembered something which angered her. She growled, ¡°When I paid him back, I tripped over something. Coincidentally, I fell into his arms, and he actually thought I was trying to seduce him. At the time, he warned me something along the lines of how he has a wife and that I shouldn¡¯t be delusional.

Before she could mull over Felicity¡¯s words, Felicity suddenly asked in anger, ¡°Is Gilbert not right in the head? Isn¡¯t he too confident for no reason? When did I ever say I liked him?

He asked in a panic, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Mr. Kooper? Are you cold? Should I help you ask for a nket?¡± ¡°No. It¡¯s just two sudden sneezes. I¡¯m fine!¡± Gilbert said. Then, he crossed his arms and continued resting his eyes.

Then, he quickly stood at the aisle. Thedy got out and giggled at Gilbert. Gilbert had a dark expression and did not respond. After thedy went to the washroom, Gilbert did not return to his seat and continued standing in the aisle. Davian said to him apologetically, ¡°Bear with it a little longer, Mr. Kooper. We¡¯ll be there in an hour.¡± Gilbert still did not speak. However, his suppressed anger could be seen in his tense jaw. The middle-ageddy returned shortly. As she forced her way back to her seat, she purposefully slowed down her movements and openly stared at Gilbert. Davian huffed, irritated, ¡°Hurry up and go in. My legs hurt from curling up.¡± Thedy rolled her eyes at him and continued forcing her way in slowly. Davian had to take deep breaths to resist his urge of wanting to beat someone up.

Do you have a girlfriend?¡± Thedy asked with a smile as she patted Gilbert on the shoulder. Gilbert almost choked with anger. ¡°I¡¯m married, ¡°he said in a calm voice. ¡°Oh¡­ What a pity,¡± thedy mumbled. ¡°You can consider marrying my daughter if you ever get divorced.

However, he was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth and almost bit his own tongue when Gilbert gave him a hard stare.

Her cheeks started to flush as she felt Gilbert¡¯s warm breath on her face. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1197 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1197 Chapter 1197 Is This How Much You Trust Me? Gilbert lowered his gaze and looked at her without saying anything. Kisa hated the silence and being in that position, so she reached out and shoved him softly. ¡°I¡¯ve already apologized to you. I wouldn¡¯t have done that if you didn¡¯t limit my freedom. Ultimately, it¡¯s you and your mom¡¯s fault.¡± ¡°I asked you if you want toe to Athadale that night. What did you tell me? Hm?¡± Kisa looked away embarrassingly. ¡°It¡¯s true that I didn¡¯t want toe, but I don¡¯t have a choice.¡± ¡°Stop finding excuses!¡± he grunted. Gilbert was so mad that it looked like he was about to swing his fist at her. Kisa leaned back and said softly, ¡°Stop it. Even though I lied to you, you didn¡¯t lose anything. I figured that since you didn¡¯t want to see me, I should juste to Athadale and stay out of your sight. In that way, everybody can be happy.¡± After hearing what her words, Gilbert got so mad that he was left speechless. ¡®What did I do to make her feel like I didn¡¯t want to see her?¡® ¡°Gilbert, stop being mad. I won¡¯t lie to you anymore.¡± Kisa had no choice but to try to give in and calm him down after noticing how furious he got. However, the man chuckled. ¡°You said the same thing previously, but what happened?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t put the me on me because you were the one who limited my freedom!¡± ¡°I also told you that I¡¯de here with you if you want, yet you made me believe in your lies and came here secretly anyway.¡± ¡°Were you worried that I won¡¯t keep my promise? ¡°Is this how much you trust me?¡± Gilbert looked at her. His gaze looked hostile still, but with a hint of sadness this time. For some reason, Kisa felt guilty even though she had not done anything to hurt him. ¡®What the hell is wrong with me?¡® Kisa pursed her lips before she said to Gilbert, ¡°Okay, I was wrong. Let¡¯s stop fighting over this. It¡¯s gettingte and we should just get ready for bed. We still have to attend Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday celebration tomorrow.¡± This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert stared at her without saying anything. It seemed like he could not get over how Kisa lied to him. Kisa did not know what to do. She felt very ufortable getting pinned against the door by Gilbert like that. She pushed the man again and quickly began to vow and swear, ¡°Listen, I promise I won¡¯t lie to you anymore. If I ever did again, I¡­ ugh!¡± Gilbert put his hand on her lips before she could finish her sentence. He spoke in a hostile tone, almost like he was scolding her. ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything. What are you swearing for?¡± ¡°Your angry face is enough to make me do it.¡± Kisa mumbled under her breath. Gilbert red at her. No matter how angry he was, he could never bring himself to hurt her in any way. He rested one of his hands on the side of her head with the other on her stomach. Kisa¡¯s belly was still very t, so he could not feel anything with his hand. However, his heart was immediately filled with warmth and happiness when he thought of his baby inside of her. ¡°Have you been feeling unwell today?¡± The man asked softly, soundingpletely different from before. Kisa looked at him and felt like his emotions fluctuated way too fast. He was clearly just burning with anger a second ago. However, he acted so gently as if he loved her very much now. Kisa shook her head puzzledly. ¡°Nope.¡± ¡°What about your period? Is everything normal?¡± He wanted to ask if she was on her menstruation yet. However, he figured that it might be too abrupt for him to ask about that and she would get suspicious, so he backtracked. Having a grown man ask about her period made Kisa feel very embarrassed. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1198 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1198 Chapter 1198 She Was Wrong About Him Kisa bowed her head down. ¡°Everything¡¯s normal. It ended after I took the medicine.¡± Gilbert was relieved after hearing what she said. ¡®The baby should be fine if she¡¯s not bleeding anymore.¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. He could not help but furrow his brows after realizing that she had drunk alcohol earlier. ¡°You need to stop drinking, for a while at least.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Gilbert got mad after seeing the defiant look on Kisa¡¯s face. ¡°Didn¡¯t I just tell you that your body is recovering? How could you still drink? Alcohol is bad for your health anyway.¡± Kisa knew that if she showed any resistance, Gilbert was going to lose his temper again. So, she quickly nodded. ¡°O¨COkay then.¡± Gilbert¡¯s facial expression softened after hearing her agree. Then, Kisa looked at him and said after noticing that he was not that mad anymore, ¡°Okay, I¡¯m going to take a shower now. I¡¯m really tired.¡± ¡°You just told me that you weren¡¯t tired!¡± Gilbert said angrily. Kisa walked toward the bathroom as she turned her head back and said, ¡°I¡¯m tired now after getting lectured by you.¡± Gilbert stared at her receding back and anger rose in him like a tide. His head was awash with all sorts of emotions as he leaned against the wall while he watched Kisa go into the bathroom. He was furious after knowing how Kisa lied to him and came to Athadale secretly without him. He even tried to think of countless ways to scold and punish her. However, his heart went soft, and he just could not find himself doing any of that when he saw her. He lifted the corner of his mouth ironically. Indeed, he had fallen for her very hard and there was just no turning back for him. In the bathroom, Kisa pinched her waist with her fingers. She felt like she had gotten fatter, and her belly was starting to show. ¡®Have I been eating too much? It looks like I should go on a diet. After all, I should always keep my body weight in check as a celebrity and public figure.¡¯ Kisa stood in front of the mirror and looked at her own reflection. Suddenly, Gilbert¡¯s face popped into her head. She thought Gilbert would go nuts, lose his temper, and scold her after finding out she had lied to him. However, all he did was confront her calmly. So, she figured that up until now, she had thought of him as more ferocious than he really was. Suddenly, she remembered what Felicity told her when they were eating earlier. Felicity described Gilbert as a man who loved his wife very much and would do anything for her unfailingly. But at that time Felicity was talking about, Kisa was supposed to be ¡°dead¡°. At the time, Gilbert did not have to act like a devoted husband in front of anybody at all. If he had just been doing that for publicity, he could have just put on an act only when in front of the media. However, from what she knew, he had never brought up the death of his wife in front of the media at all. Kisa washed her face, irritated and confused. ¡®Whatever. I need to stop thinking about it.¡® She could never figure out what was in that man¡¯s mind anyway. She walked out of the bathroom and saw the man enjoying the night breeze while leaning on the window. Gilbert reached out for the window handle and slightly closed the window, leaving just a small gap after seeing her. ¡°I¡¯m done. It¡¯s your turn now.¡± Gilbert kept his silence after hearing what she said and went into the bathroom. Kisa looked at his back. She thought of saying something but changed her mind. Then, sheid on the bed. She was clearly drained, but she just could not fall asleep. After a while, Gilbert came out of the bathroom. He could not help but ask after seeing Kisa stare into space on the bed, ¡°Don¡¯t you know howte it is already? Why aren¡¯t you sleeping?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sleeping now,¡± Kisa spoke as she snuggled into the sheets. After drying his hair, Gilbert went to lie down on the bed too. None of them spoke. After the tablemp was switched off, the room fell intoplete darkness. Kisa twiddled her thumb and asked with her back on him, ¡°Did you sponsor all the hotels that Felicity mentioned just now?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1199 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1199 Chapter 1199 This Is All We Can Be ¡°Yeah.¡± Gilbert responded calmly without saying anything else. Kisa licked her dry lips and continued, wife got ¡°She said that you only helped her because she reminded you of how your mistreated in her younger times when those people attacked her. You¡­ you¡­¡± ¡°What is it?¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. The man asked, his voice deep in the pitch¨Cdark room. Kisa pursed her lips and suddenly stopped talking. Actually, she did not know what she was trying to say either. She only brought that up because she wanted to know how he felt toward her back then. Gilbert suddenly got closer to her in the bed and wrapped his long arm around her waist. Kisa froze, but her heart felt somewhat warm. ¡°I¡¯ve told you before that I started caring for you and liking you ever since we were kids, but you wouldn¡¯t believe me. You¡¯ve never trusted the feelings I have for you until now, so why are you bringing this up now?¡± Gilbert¡¯s deep voice was tinged with anger and sadness. Kisa wanted to say something, but she just could not find the right words. After all, it was true that she did not believe that he genuinely loved her. That was because all those things that he had done to hurt her back then were not fake at all. She just could not believe that he loved her with his heart after the things he had done. Gilbert said tly after noticing that Kisa stopped talking, ¡°Just go to sleep. This is all we can be anyway. There¡¯s no point talking about it.¡± Kisa did not believe in him. However, Gilbert also thought that the person she loved was Jensen. So, their rtionship could only be like that. They were married in name, but their hearts could never truly connect with each other. Meanwhile, in the Century Grand Hotel at Athadale, Lea was vomiting in the washroom, feeling awful. Suddenly, a figure appeared at the door and startled her. She quickly grabbed a piece of tissue to wipe her mouth. As she looked at the man who stood at the door, her face turned pale. Anthony frowned in disdain, ¡°You¡¯ve been puking so frequently. You should see a doctor if you¡¯re not feeling well. Don¡¯t you think what you¡¯re doing is very disgusting?¡± Lea grabbed ahold of her shirt around her stomach and quickly shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not feeling unwell. It¡¯s probably something I ate.¡± Lea would always tell him the same thing whenever he saw her vomit. Anthony was starting to get annoyed. He scoffed. ¡°Clean yourself up and get out of there.¡± After that, he turned around and left before he mmed the door shut. Lea looked at her belly sadly. ¡®What should I do? He¡¯s going to find out about it sooner orter. What if he forces me to get an abortion?¡® She loved that baby very much, and it was her everything. She really wanted to keep the baby. She had no idea what she should do. Lea huddled in the corner helplessly, freezing. After some time, Anthony started kicking on the door from the outside, annoyed. ¡°Get out of there if you¡¯re done. Did you pass out inside?¡± Lea forced herself to lift her head up. She recollected herself and said at the door,¡± Coming. I¡¯ll be done soon.¡± She held herself up against the wall as she spoke. Then, she turned on the shower head to rinse her body before she brushed her teeth and walked outside. Anthony was smoking on the bed. He took his shirt off and covered the lower part of his body with the nket. There were a few scratches on the man¡¯s muscr chest, but none of them came from her. She had never done anything intimate with the man ever since she got pregnant. She would reject the man whenever he was in the mood for it because of the baby. However, Anthony had probably sent somebody to dump her in this hotel because he got bored of her, and he never showed up in front of her. That was his first¨Ctime meeting her after she came to Athadale. If he had not shown up today, Lea would have assumed that Anthony had forgotten about her existence. Whenever he was not around, she would miss him and look forward to seeing him. But now when he was in front of her in the flesh, all she felt was fear. ¡°Come here!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1200 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1200 Chapter 1200 When He Sleeps, She Can¡¯t Be Close Anthony impatiently grunted as he saw her standing at the door. Lea bit her lower lip. She walked toward him, taking small steps. Just when she reached the bedside, he suddenly pulled her down onto the bed. He then took off her dressing gown. Lea panicked. She hurriedly pressed against his chest. ¡°No!¡± Anthony coldly squinted, ¡°You rejected me several times. What¡¯s wrong? Are you really seeing someone else?¡± ¡°No.¡± Lea quickly shook her head. She felt that it was difficult to tell him what was happening. ¡°Why¡¯d you reject me if you¡¯re not cheating on me? Don¡¯t forget that you climbed into my bed yourself back then!¡± Anthony shouted. Lea turned him off. He was still obsessed with her body. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. He had fun with many women these days. But whenever he was having s*x with them, he would unconsciously think of Lea¡¯s face. And then the s*x would be uninteresting. When Lea saw him get mad, she unwittingly became softer as she resisted him. She wanted to make him happy after all. She softly said, ¡°I¡¯m not feeling so well. C¨CCan you be gentler?¡± Anthony grinned evilly as he leaned over¡­ After quite a while, he was finally satisfied. He then rolled over to the side. Lea pulled up the nket to cover her body. She unconsciously covered her lower abdomen with her hand under the nket. Luckily, Anthony had been gentle. There was no difort in her stomach. During the whole process just now, she was distracted and worried. Anthony noticed that. He took out a cigarette and lit it. He coldly grunted, ¡°If I find out that you¡¯re cheating on me, I¡¯ll kill you.¡± Lea quickly shook her head, ¡°No. I¡¯m not. You¡¯re the only man of my life.¡± What she said clearly made him happy. And since he just had sexual intercourse, his mood seemed a lot betterpared to earlier. Lea rested for a while. She then got up and wanted to take a shower in the bathroom. Just when she was wrapping herself in the bath towel, Anthony suddenly stared directly at her tummy. Lea was frightened by the way he looked at her. She hastily covered her stomach with the towel. But he sneered, ¡°You just gained some weight. What¡¯s there to hide? I don¡¯t mind that.¡± Lea could not help but give a sigh of relief as she heard what he said. ¡®Luckily he just thought I gained some weight.¡® She pursed her lips as she turned around to walk toward the bathroom. Anthony stared unwaveringly at her back. His eyes were gloomy. After she came out of the bathroom, he suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯ll bring you to the hospital for a body checkup tomorrow. Your constant vomiting is very off¨Cputting.¡± ¡°No, no, no¡­¡± Lea was shocked for a moment. She hurriedly shook her head, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to the hospital. I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just that I vomited once in a while. I don¡¯t need to go to the hospital.¡± Anthony was upset for no reason when he saw Lea reject him so hastily. He extinguished the cigarette as he faintly said, ¡°Whatever works for you. Just don¡¯t puke in front of me anymore. It bothers me when I see that.¡± Heid under the nket as he said that. It seemed like he wanted to sleep. Lea softly let out a breath of relief. She thenid down next to him. But she kept herself half a meter away from him. When he slept, he did not allow her to sleep right next to him. Just when sheid down, Anthony suddenly said, ¡°Attend my old man¡¯s birthday party with me tomorrow night.¡± Lea¡¯s body trembled, ¡°W¨CWhy?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no ¡®why¡®. I just need a date.¡± Lea pressed her lips as she smiled. She was a little surprised since he had never brought her to a public ce. And he was bringing her to his father¡¯s birthday party this time, no less. ¡®Does this mean that he¡¯s slowly epting me?¡± But little did she know, this party would mark the beginning of her fall into the abyss.

She dazedly opened her eyes. She noticed it had woken Gilbert up too. ¡°Ah, what happened to you? Miss, Miss¡­ Someone passed out!¡± Kisa confusedly looked at Gilbert. Gilbert stroked her on the head as he said in his raspy voice, ¡°The sound came from the yard downstairs. You go back to sleep. I¡¯ll go to the window and take a look.¡± Kisa nodded. She then saw him yawn as he walked toward the window. He was not wearing any shirt. His slim upper body was very sexy and charming in the morning light. Just when Kisa started admiring his body, she then saw him hurriedly take the robe from the chair and put it on as he ran outside. Kisa panicked. She anxiously asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Davian fainted. I¡¯ll go downstairs and have a look.¡± ¡®Huh? ¡®Davian fainted?!¡® Kisa suddenly did not feel sleepy. She quickly got up to run to the window and looked down. She saw Davian lying down under the swing in the yard. He looked very pale. She hastily put on her dressing gown and ran downstairs. Gilbert and a few maids carried Davian onto the couch inside the house. ¡°Call the doctor immediately,¡± Gilbert ordered the maid. He then went to check on Davian. Kisa was standing at the side as she worriedly asked, ¡°What happened to him? Is he all right?¡± Gilbert looked at him for a moment. He said, ¡°I think he was drunk and was out in the cold for a whole night. Luckily, it¡¯s not winter now. Or else, he¡¯d be frozen to death, and no one would know!¡± ¡°Why are you all screaming and yapping? It¡¯s still very early in the morning. I need to sleep.¡± Felicity was wearing her pajamas as she walked downstairs. She looked very annoyed. Gilbert frowned as he stared at her, ¡°You didn¡¯t arrange a room for Davianst night?¡± Felicity walked toward them. She then nced at the man on the couch. After a moment of silence, she grunted, ¡°He¡¯s a grown man. Did he still need me to arrange a room for him? There are so many rooms upstairs. He could¡¯ve just stayed in one of the rooms he liked. All the rooms have been cleaned.¡± Kisa suddenly furrowed her eyebrows, ¡°Didn¡¯t you sayst night that only one guest room was tidied up?¡± Felicity was stunned for a while. She then touched the back of her head as she grinned, ¡± Mr. Kooper wanted to stay in the same room as you. That¡¯s why I said that.¡± Kisa was speechless. ¡®Davian suffered because of us.¡® ¡°Heat up some water and let him take a shower.¡± Gilbert suddenly said to Felicity, ¡°He¡¯s been out in the col for a whole night. He needs to be warmed up.¡± Felicity expressionlessly said, ¡°It¡¯s not very cold now. He¡¯s a man. And he¡¯d only been out in the cold for a night. What could possibly go wrong?¡± Right after she said that the man on the couch abruptly fell down on the ground. He hugged Felicity¡¯s leg as he cried piercingly, ¡°Don¡¯t leave me. Boohoo¡­ Felicity, don¡¯t leave me¡­¡± Every maid in the house suddenly looked at them. Felicity awkwardly kicked Davian, ¡°Get up. Stop pretending to be drunk and act foolishly. Get off!¡± ¡°No, Felicity. I¡¯ve learned my lesson. Boohoo¡­ Don¡¯t leave me¡­¡± Kisa chuckled. She did not expect Davian who was so direct and insensitive would actually act shamelessly. ¡°Go away!¡± Felicity was angry suddenly. She desperately shook off the man on her leg. But she could not get rid of him. Gilbert smiled as he said to Felicity, ¡°Although Davian is direct and unromantic. But once he finds the person he wants, he¡¯ll stay with her forever. You two should spend more time together. My decision to set you two up won¡¯t be wrong.¡± ¡°Get lost! You¡¯re not him. How¡¯d you know he¡¯ll stay with her forever once he finds the person he wants?¡± ¡°Because he worked for me for many years.

After all, he¡¯s never dated any woman in the past. So, there are many things that he still doesn¡¯t understand.

How did you know how to impress a girl and how to take care of a woman¡¯s emotions from the very beginning?¡± Felicity angrily said. Gilbert subconsciously looked at Kisa. Kisa expressionlessly said, ¡°I¡¯m not the first woman that you dated. Why are you looking at me?¡± ¡®I think the first girl he dated was Sara back then. From what I remember, the only girlfriend that he ever admitted he had was Sara. So, I guess only she knows if he knew about romance and how to impress a girl from the start.¡¯ Gilbert¡¯s face was gloomy suddenly. He then faintly said to Felicity, ¡°Do as you guys like. I¡¯ve already set you two up. Whether you guys can get along or not, that¡¯s all up to you two.¡± After he said that, he then grabbed Kisa¡¯s hand to walk upstairs. Felicity was surprised as she stared at him, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Why did you get angry so easily? I didn¡¯t insult you. In fact, I evenplimented you.¡± Gilbert took Kisa¡¯s hand to walk upstairs without looking back. Felicity grunted, ¡®He¡¯s indeed a moody guy.¡® After a while, she then lowered her eyes to look at the man who was still hugging her legs. ¡°Get off of me. Stop pretending!¡± However, no matter how furiously she shouted, Davian still hugged her legs and refused to let go. She couldn¡¯t tell if he really was drunk or not. He yed coy as he mumbled, ¡°I want to sleep in your room. Felicity, please don¡¯t get rid of me. Boohoo. Felicity¡­ I want to be with you¡­¡± Felicity rolled her eyes. In desperation, she could only drag him along with her as she walked upstairs. ¡®I slept verytest night. And I was woken up so early in the morning today. I can¡¯t even open my eyes now. And I still need to deal with this scoundrel. I¡¯m so annoyed!¡® Back in the room, Gilbert quietly took off his robe and started getting dressed. Kisa saw that he was upset. But she did not know why he was mad. She stood at the door for a while before she asked, ¡°Are you going out?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The man faintly answered. He looked like he did not want to speak to her. Kisa was speechless. ¡®If he doesn¡¯t want to talk to me. Why did he bring me upstairs? Did he intentionally want me to see his angry face? ¡®But it¡¯s so obvious that he¡¯s mad.

Gilbert struggled for a long time trying to put on his tie, but he couldn¡¯t do it. Kisa assumed it was probably because he was upset.

Kisa nced at him, ¡®I really have no idea what he¡¯s so upset about.¡¯ His appearance and aura made him seem like an elegant and noble gentleman, but his temper was moody and vtile. Gilbert leaned against the window, irritated. He took out a cigarette, lighted it, and began smoking. He opened the windows wide, and a gust of wind blew into the room. It was not cold but instead a breath of fresh air. Kisa sighed helplessly. She then walked toward him.

But he did not stare directly at her. He looked out the window instead. Kisa picked up the tie at the end of the bed before she went up to him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Why are you so angry?¡± ¡®Everyone said women are hard to understand, but I feel like his mind is even harder to read. Gilbert turned his eyes to look at her. His voice was dull, ¡°You¡¯re the first woman I dated. And you¡¯re the only one too.¡± Kisa was stunned for a moment. ¡®So that¡¯s why he¡¯s upset. But what he said wasn¡¯t true at all.

Come here, I¡¯ll help you put on the tie.¡± Gilbert stared at her. He did not speak. Kisa did not talk too. She just stood on tiptoe and put the dark blue tie around his neck. She then knotted the tie smoothly. Her fingers were slender and symmetrical. Gilbert found them beautiful. Gilbert lowered his eyes to look for a while. He suddenly asked, ¡°I remember¡­ you really know how to tie a tie back then. How can you be so skilled at it now?¡± didn¡¯t ¡°Jensen taught me. I helped him wear a tie for some time. That¡¯s why I¡¯m good at it now.¡± Kisa subconsciously said. She did not feel that what she said was inappropriate. But she suddenly felt that the atmosphere around her was cold. Indeed, when she looked up, she saw Gilbert¡¯s vicious, chilly eyes. ¡°You helped him wear ties? And you even did that for some time?¡± Kisa was confused as she looked at him, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s the problem?¡± ¡°You¡¯re my woman, my wife. Why did you help him wear ties? You¡¯ve only helped me wear my tie a few times!¡± He clenched his teeth as he said. He seemed sort of jealous, and sort of not. Kisa did not dare to overthink. She merely said, ¡°Those tie salespeople in the mall help different people to wear the ties every day. What¡¯s the difference?¡± ¡°It¡¯s different.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the difference? It¡¯s just helping someone to wear a tie. It¡¯s not like I was having an affair or something.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Gilbert was furious. Rage filled his eyes as he ruthlessly stared at her. Kisa did not want to quarrel with him. ¡®It¡¯s so tiring. The longer time goes on, the more I find that it¡¯s hard to get along with this man. He always gives me the silent treatment, or he just gets angry for no reason. It¡¯s like we can¡¯t have a proper conversation.¡® She took a step back. She was preparing to sit down on the chair at the side. Gilbert suddenly stretched his long arms to grab her shoulders as he pinned her against the window. Kisa was shocked, ¡°What are you doing¡­Hmm¡­¡± Gilbert suddenly mercilessly kissed her on the lips. He was fuming. He kissed her roughly and desperately. Autumn was a dry season, so her lips were chapped. She felt a burning pain on her lips as he kissed her roughly.

She then looked into his dark, gloomy eyes as she angrily shouted, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Gilbert sullenly stared at her for a long time. Kisa leaned against the window and flinched. ¡®He looks scary.¡® Just when she was pondering whether or not to cheer him up, he suddenly walked outside without saying anything. Kisa couldn¡¯t help but heave a sigh of relief when she saw him walk out of the room. She sat on the couch and touched her burning lips. She was upset and confused. ¡®These days, Gilbert had been paying very little attention to me. He¡¯s been colder than a stranger to me, but just now he forcefully kissed me for no reason. I have no idea what he¡¯s thinking. If he doesn¡¯t like me anymore and wants to break up with me, why does he keep showing me concern every now and then? ¡®But if he really loves me, why is it that some of his actions always make me doubt him?¡® Kisa took a nap after Gilbert left. She slept quite deeply. It was already one o¡¯clock in the afternoon when she woke up. She was very hungry. She dazedly got up from the bed. She walked weakly to wash her face. After changing her clothes, she then opened the curtains and had a look at the yard. The weather was quite good. The temperature was just right, with a little breeze. It was a good day to view the flowers and to have high tea in the yard. But there was no one there. ¡®Is Felicity home? And Gilbert. I haven¡¯t heard from him since he went out in the morning. Is he back yet, I wonder?¡¯ She suppressed her questions. She then put her hair up and walked outside. || The corridor was quiet. She was hoping Felicity was downstairs. Or else, she would be too shy to look around someone else¡¯s house for food. ¡°Ah¡­¡± A moaning sound could suddenly be heard when she was at the stairs. She was so shocked that her body was stiff for a moment. ¡°Come on, kiss this f*cking girl¡­¡± Before she knew it, a seductive growl could be heard again. Kisa instantly blushed. ¡®I¡¯m not an innocent little girl anymore. This kind of shouting is obviously¡­¡± She did not dare to think too much about it. She then turned around and ran downstairs. Bang! A person stood behind her out of nowhere. She bumped into a solid body when she turned around. The person¡¯s chest was very firm. Her forehead was in pain from hitting it. When she looked up, she saw Gilbert¡¯s secretive eyes. Her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. She hurriedly calmed her mood as she said, ¡°You¡­ You¡¯re back.¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± The corridor still resounded with the sexy sound. Kisa¡¯s face was increasingly red. She felt burning hot, especially since she was standing in front of a man whose gaze became increasingly weird and thoughtful as he stared at her. She exhaled and awkwardly said, ¡°Go, go, go¡­ Let¡¯s go down quickly.¡± After she said that, she then hugged his arm to hurriedly run downstairs. Gilbert nced at her as he expressionlessly said, ¡°What¡¯s the big deal with that? Why are you being so shy?¡± ¡°Okay. Since you have such thick skin, stay here and listen to that yourself then.¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Kisa let go of his arm after she said that. She then continued running downstairs. In her haste, she suddenly slipped and missed a step on the stairs. She abruptly fell and let out a yell. ¡°Kisa!¡± Gilbert¡¯s facial expression instantly changed. He reacted quickly and held onto her waist. He immediately took her into his arms. Even though she was already in his arms, his heart was still pounding extremely fast. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1205 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1205 Chapter 1205 Assume You Two Are Strangers ¡®She¡¯s pregnant. If she falls down, the consequences would be unthinkable,¡® thought Gilbert. Kisa was terrified as sheid in his arms. She could clearly feel he was nervous and frightened. She could not help but freeze for a moment. ¡®I was the one who almost fell. Why do I feel like he¡¯s even more nervous and frightened than I am?¡® Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Walk properly in the future. Why were you so panicked? No one was chasing after you!¡± Just as she was having an inner thought, she could suddenly hear Gilbert¡¯s scolding voices from above her head. Kisa raised her eyes to look at him. She sincerely thanked him, ¡°Thank you.¡± Gilbert did not speak. He just helped her to walk downstairs. ¡°Mr. Kooper, Ms. Becker, you guys came down.¡± As soon as they came downstairs, Cora Packer greeted them. Gilbert nodded as he asked, ¡°Is lunch ready?¡± ¡°It¡¯s ready. Ms. Jennings specifically ordered us not to go upstairs and disturb the two of you. She asked us to get the food ready as well so that you two can eat right away aftering downstairs.¡± Kisa nodded, ¡®Felicity¡¯s quite thoughtful.¡® ¡°Mr. Kooper, do you two want to eat in the yard or inside the house?¡± Gilbert subconsciously looked at Kisa. Kisa nced at the great view in the yard as she said, ¡°We¡¯ll eat in the yard.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Cora said. She then asked the maid to serve the food. Gilbert brought Kisa to the yard. They sat at the wooden table under the big tree. A gust of breeze blew at them. It was sofortable that it could make people fall asleep. Gilbert stared unwaveringly at Kisa. His eyes were glowing a little. He then turned away when Kisa looked at him. He acted as if he was careless. Kisa pursed her lips as she asked, ¡°Where did you go in the morning? Did you go and get 2/3 Mr. Mullen Sr. a present?¡± ¡°I bought presents for him long ago. I even helped you to buy a present for him,¡± Gilbert faintly said. Kisa smiled, ¡°Thank you.¡± She then asked again, ¡°So, what have you been doing in the morning?¡± The maid served them the food. Gilbert lowered his head to pick up the food as he said in a muffled voice, ¡°I went to buy a handphone.¡± ¡°Your phone is broken?¡± Kisa subconsciously asked. She did not mean to ask so many questions. But she felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing if they did not talk while sitting together. ¡°Yes. I broke it.¡± His voice was even duller. Kisa nced at him. She noticed he looked unhappy, so she did not press the topic any further. She thendled a bowl of soup. While she was drinking it, Gilbert suddenly coldly said to her, ¡°If you lie to me again in the future, it won¡¯t just be a phone that I break.¡± ¡°Glug¡­ Ahem, ahem, ahem¡­¡± ¡°You¡­ Ahem¡­ Did you mean you were so angry that you broke your phone because I lied to you?¡± Gilbert remained silent. He merely put his head down to eat the food, but Kisa understood that the action meant he implicitly admitted it. Kisa was speechless. ¡®He¡¯s so violent. He just simply breaks things. That phone cost him more than ten thousand bucks, and he just started using it not too long ago. What a waste!¡® Kisa thought to herself. But she did not dare to voice out her inner thoughts and piss him off. After all, he was unreasonable when he was angry. ¡°Hey, why are you guys being so quiet when you eat? If I didn¡¯t know you, I¡¯d assume you two are strangers.¡± Just then, Felicity¡¯sughter could suddenly be heard. Kisa subconsciously looked at her. She then saw Felicity walking toward them from the house wearing a silk nightgown. Felicity¡¯s face was still flushed. She seemed quite happy. Her hair was still wet. She seemed to have just finished showering. When Kisa thought of the sound she heard in the corridor, she unconsciously blushed. She awkwardly smiled as she asked, ¡°Have you eaten?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t,¡± Felicity replied, sitting down next to her. She noticed Kisa¡¯s face was red. Confused, she asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling hot? Why¡¯s your face so red?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1206 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1206 Chapter 1206 Eavesdropping Kisa tugged at her cor. ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s a little hot.¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be. It¡¯ste autumn. The wind is really cool, and I even feel like I¡¯m a little underdressed,¡± Felicity said matter¨Cof¨Cfactly. Then, Gilbert looked up and said to her expressionlessly, ¡°Be more subtle next time. Don¡¯t be so loud because people might misunderstand you if they heard you.¡± Felicity was bbergasted and frozen for a full five seconds beforeing to her senses. She smacked the table and said, ¡°Do you have nothing better to do apart from eavesdropping on our conversation?¡± She was normally frank and outspoken like a man, but at that moment, she was blushing upon hearing what Gilbert said. Gilbert leaned back in his chair, sipped his soup, and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t even need to eavesdrop because you were talking so loud.¡± ¡°You!¡± Felicity¡¯s face was so red that it looked like a cherry. Kisa also felt unusually embarrassed, ring at Gilbert across the room. ¡°Enough of that.¡± Gilbert lowered his eyes and immediately stopped talking. Felicity was still so shy that her face blushed. It seemed that people who were outwardly open and easy¨Cgoing were actually quite conservative on the inside. Kisa tugged on Felicity¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Come on, Felicity. Let¡¯s eat.¡± As she spoke, she lowered her head in embarrassment. If it was not for her overthinking and causing her face to blush, Gilbert would not have brought this up. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. At this time, Davian came out of the house enthusiastically. ¡°Oh, you guys are having a meal. I¡¯m also hungry,¡± Davian said, quickly sitting down next to Felicity. Not noticing her anger, he helped himself to the meal. It was not until he took a couple of bites that he noticed the atmosphere was off and that Felicity¡¯s face had turned red. He had never seen her blush before, like she was shy. But, he doubted a woman like Felicity would be shy. He cocked his head and smiled at Felicity. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? You¡¯re blushing a lot.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all your fault!¡± Felicity snarled at him, bbergasting him. ¡°Never pretend to be drunk in front of me again, and never try to get sympathy from me, and nevere into my room. during the day!¡± Davian looked innocently at Gilbert and Kisa. ¡®Could someone tell me what is going on? She was fine in the room a while ago, but after she came out, she turned into a different person.¡® Gilbert was mindlessly sipping his soup, ignoring Davian, while Kisa kept her head down and ate her food. Davian was stunned for a long while before his attention fell back on Felicity. Chapte ¡°Felicity, what¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s making you unhappy? Tell me.¡± Felicity ignored him. Davian pouted helplessly, wondering if he had done something wrong. In the Century Grand Hotel, Lea opened the box in front of her and froze at the sight of a beautiful dress inside. She just stared at it, as she did not dare to even touch it. Anthony sat on the couch with his legs crossed and smoking at the same time. ¡°Go ahead Try it on. I don¡¯t know if it fits.¡± ¡°T¨CThis is for me?¡± Lea asked in disbelief. Anthony knitted his eyebrows and said with annoyance, ¡°Do you even have to ask? Of course, it¡¯s for you when I tell you to try it.¡° Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1207 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1207 Chapter 1207 Like She Had Never Seen The World ¡°Okay¡­ Okay¡­¡± Lea was so excited that she was about to cry. She carefully carried the gown and then headed for the restroom. Anthony snickered, as he thought to himself, ¡®It¡¯s just a gown, and yet it made her so happy. She is so easily satisfied.¡°¡® Afraid of ruining the evening gown, Lea was extremely careful when she changed into it. She had never worn such an expensive dress in her life. The point was, it was the man she loved most who gave it to her. She suddenly had a glimmer of hope in her heart, wondering if Anthony had already started to ept her, and if it was time to tell him about her pregnancy. She thought perhaps she would mention it to him after the party was over. ¡°Are you done yet? Is it that difficult to change into a gown?¡± Anthony was rushing her outside. Lea quickly cut the thoughts from her mind and said from behind the dressing room door, Alright, almost done.¡± The gown, which was silver, was heavy and splendiferously stunning. Lea put it on and looked at it in the mirror, feeling that the person in the mirror did not look like herself anymore. She had never worn such a dress before, and she did not know if it looked good. She was just not used to it. ¡°Come out when you are done changing. Stop dilly¨Cdallying!¡± Anthony was rushing her again. Lea pursed her lips, opened the door, and walked out bashfully. Anthony nced at her, and the next second, a glint of surprise shed across his eyes. He got up and walked over, not taking his eyes off Lea for even one bit. He used to think that she would never look good in anything she wore because of her lowly background. But, at that moment, with the gown on, she looked so beautiful. She was no less stunning than celebrities. Lea nervously clutched the hem of her dress as Anthony approached her. With her head lowered, she nervously asked, ¡°D¨CDoes it look good?¡± ¡°It looks like it fits just right.¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah, it fits just right.¡± She was apprehensive because he did not say whether she looked good or not. So, she guessed that it probably did not look good. With that in mind, she turned around and said, ¡°I¨CI¡¯ll take it off.¡± ¡°Come back.¡± Anthony yanked her back. His fingertips were touching her corbones. Lea tensed up and looked at him nervously. ¡°W¨CWhat¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°There is one more thing missing here.¡± He turned around and took out a crystal ne from a box. Lea¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. The crystal ne looked very expensive, and she had never worn such jewelry before. 2/2 Ignoring her yokel¨Clike expression, he went behind her and put the ne around her neck. After that, he came back around and looked at her. ¡°Well, this is better.¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Lea was ttered. She touched the ne around her neck. ¡°I¨CIs this for me too?¡± ¡°It¡¯s on you, so of course it¡¯s for you. Do you want me to give something that you have worn to someone else?¡± Anthony said indifferently and took out a pair of high heels from another slightlyrger box. He threw the shoes at her feet and said, ¡°Try them on again and see if they fit.¡± Lea suppressed her surprise and tried on the shoes. After a while, she said, ¡°They fit just right.¡± ¡°Good.¡± Anthony sat back on the couch, smoking a cigarette, and indifferently said, ¡°Later, I¡¯ll ask the makeup artist to put on your makeup, and at seven in the evening, you will go to the party with me. There will be many people going to the party today, so when you get there, you better not walk around or talk too much.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1208 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1208 Chapter 1208 Like a Night Genie Lea nodded, feeling nervous. Anthony exhaled a ring of smoke and said, ¡°If anyone asks what¡¯s your rtionship with me, just say that you are my dance partner.¡± Lea was disheartened, but she still nodded obediently. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°One more thing, if anyone asks you what you do for a living, you must not mention that you work as a bar girl.¡± It saddened Lea to hear that. ¡®He still mind my previous upation.¡® She pursed her lips. Actually, I know little about many of these etiquettes. You can always find someone better to be your dance partner, and you won¡¯t need to-¡® ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have asked you if I could find a suitable partner,¡± Anthony suddenly interrupted her with a touch of mockery in his voice. Lea bit her lower lip and stopped talking. What Anthony hated the most was seeing her servile look. He got up and said, ¡°The makeup artist will be here in a minute. I¡¯ll pick you up at seven.¡± He seemed as though he did not want to stay there a moment longer as he got up and went outside. He could have found another woman with status to attend the party, but still, he chose her. Anthony did not know why he made a decision like that. He just felt like he wanted to take her to see the world. Watching Anthony walk out, Lea lifted the hem of her dress and sat down on the couch. Then, she was lost in thought. ¡®Turns out, he just didn¡¯t find the right person. That¡¯s why he asked me to be his dance partner.¡® She propped her head with her hand as the joy and expectation slowly turned into anxiety. Now, she just hoped that she would not embarrass him at the party. At 5.00 pm, Felicity had a row of evening gowns delivered. There were all kinds of colors and styles, and therge living room was turned into a fitting room. ¡°You two, give us your opinion and see which one looks better,¡± Felicity said to the two men on the couch as she picked out her evening gown. Davian nodded gleefully. ¡°Okay, Felicity. I¡¯ll give you my opinion.¡± Next to him, Gilbert was staring at the magazine on hisp, not even raising his head. Curling her lips in disdain, Felicity whispered to Kisa, ¡°Look at your man. He looks like he doesn¡¯t care. He is a buzzkill if you go shopping with him.¡± Kisaughed. ¡°He¡¯s fine.¡± In fact, she had also shopped with Gilbert. But, at that time, for some reason, Gilbert was trying to impress her, taking the initiative all the time. Unlike now, where he was ignoring her. Kisa did not expect Gilbert to give her his opinion. She carried a ck evening dress and followed Felicity to the restroom. Meanwhile, Felicity picked a red dress. After the two went into the restroom, Davian picked up the oranges on the coffee table and peeled them to eat. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. While eating, he said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, are we really going to the party tonight?¡± ¡°Well, if she goes, I¡¯m going with her.¡± ¡°But, I told the Mullen family the other day that you were busy and couldn¡¯t make it.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Just say that I have finished my work, and I¡¯m free now,¡± Gilbert said faintly. At that moment, two vivid colors caught the eyes of the two. One was dazzling red like fire, while the other was pure ck, sexy and enchanting, like a night genie. The two men each stared at their own woman,pletely hooked. ¡°What do you think?¡± Felicity asked Davian with one arm on her hip. Davian nodded his head. ¡°Beautiful. You look beautiful in anything.¡± ¡°Stop being so perfunctory.¡± Felicity huffed at him with a smile, then she looked at Gilbert. What do you think of this dress I¡¯m wearing?¡± However, Gilbert ignored her, as his eyes were glued to Kisa. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1209 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1209 Chapter 1209 Your Man Sweet-Talks Like a Pro Felicityughed and teased him, ¡°Hey, wake up. Don¡¯t look like you have never seen a beautiful woman before,¡± She said, resting one hand on Kisa¡¯s shoulder and smiling, ¡°It¡¯s true that Kisa is naturally beautiful, but you shouldn¡¯t be staring at her like that. Look, you¡¯re embarrassing her.¡± Feeling embarrassed, Kisa lowered her head. Because Gilbert was too absorbed and his gaze was so intense, she felt as though he was seeing through her clothes. She pursed her lips and then whispered to Felicity, ¡°I won¡¯t try any more dresses. I¡¯ll just choose this one.¡± ¡°This one doesn¡¯t suit you,¡± Gilbert suddenly said. Kisa looked at him in puzzlement. He had just stared at her with fascination, making her think that it was because she looked good in the dress. But now, he said that the dress did not suit her. Felicity, too, wondered why. ¡°It doesn¡¯t suit her? Then, why did you stare at her with such fascination? What is wrong with you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s her as a person that fascinates me, not the outfit,¡± he said coldly. Felicity red at him, and she jostled Kisa¡¯s elbow. ¡°Yo, did you hear that? Your man sweet- talks like a pro.¡± Kisa smiled awkwardly. It seemed like Gilbert was sweet¨Ctalking, but she still felt a little awkward. Felicity came up to Davian again, who was still eating oranges. She snatched the orange out of his hand and said, ¡°Come on, don¡¯t just eat. Learn from your boss how to sweet talk like a pro.¡± Davian pouted. ¡°You like to hear those nebulous sweet talks, huh? As sweet as those words. may sound, nothing beats actions.¡± ¡°Heh, are you saying that your boss has never taken action?¡± Davian shook his head as Gilbert nced at him with cold eyes. ¡°Of course not, of course not. I was just making an analogy,¡± he said. ¡°Then, you¡¯re just a boring man who neither sweet¨Ctalks nor takes action.¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Gilbert ignored all of them and went to pick out a dress for Kisa. He had always felt that purple would suit her better, so he selected a dark purple bustier gown from the row of dresses. ¡°Try this one.¡± He handed the gown to Kisa. Kisa quickly took it, but she still had doubts. ¡°This ck dress doesn¡¯t look good?¡± ¡°It looks good.¡± ¡°Then, why¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s too sexy, and it¡¯s backless. What if men with the wrong mind see it?¡± Felicity could not help but giggle. ¡°You¡¯re really possessive, huh? You¡¯d be mad if she wore a halter top to a nightclub one day.¡± ¡°She won¡¯t,¡± Gilbert said with confidence. He knew Kisa would never wear such a revealing dress to a nightclub. ¡°So, what if I¡¯m the one taking her for a night out?¡± Felicity smiled wickedly. ¡°I dare you.¡± He red at her. ¡°Alright, Felicity. Don¡¯t mess with Mr. Kooper.¡± Davian cautiously tugged at the hem of Felicity¡¯s skirt after seeing Gilbert¡¯s sullen face. Felicity let out a stic smile. ¡°Your boss has already picked out a dress for his woman, but you haven¡¯t?¡± ¡°Oh¡­ I¡¯ll do that right away,¡± Davian said, and he hurried to pick a dress. But, he had a poor fashion sense and only selected a white gown after a long while. The gown had long sleeves, a semi¨Chigh cor, was in a conservative style, and it looked a little outdated.¡± Felicity, this one!¡± Davian took the gown and ran up to Felicity with great enthusiasm. Felicity nced at it once and rolled her eyes. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1210 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1210 Chapter 1210 Does It Hurt Your Belly? ¡°Okay, put it back. I¡¯ll take the red one on me.¡± Just then, Kisa came out of the restroom. The dark purple dress on her looked even more gorgeous than the ck one earlier. Felicity was depressed when she saw the stark contrast between the fashion sense of Gilbert and of Davian. Then, she started wondering why she fell in love with Davian in the first ce. Kisa¡¯s fair skin contrasted nicely with the purple dress, and she looked elegant. If the ck color dress was sensual, then the purple one was elegant and ssy. Kisa carried the heavy dress and walked up to Gilbert. ¡°What about this one?¡± The dress had a high waist-bustier ball gown design with just the right amount of detailing around the waistline, outlining the luscious upper half of her body to the fullest. With Kisa¡¯s height, coupled with the high waistline design, it made her lower body look more elongated. Even without the high heels, her body proportions still looked perfect. Gilbert raised his hand and stroked the side of her waist. ¡°Is it tight? Does it hurt your belly?¡± Kisa looked at him in bewilderment. ¡°The belly is not here but beneath the dress. Even if it feels tight, it¡¯s the waistline.¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Felicity could not help butugh out loud. ¡°That¡¯s right. The dress is high-waisted, so it won¡¯t affect the belly. Your point of attention is too funny, don¡¯t you think?¡± Gilbert ignored her and kept his eyes on Kisa. ¡°So, does this dress fit you or not? If it doesn¡¯t, let¡¯s change it.¡± ¡°It fits just right, and the back straps don¡¯t even need to be tightened,¡± Kisa said and turned around to show him the back. Gilbert nodded his head. Felicity got up and pulled Kisa over to the two rows of high heels. ¡°These are the custom designs I had people send over. They are your size, so pick a pair and try them on. Kisa nodded, but Gilbert suddenly stopped her. ¡°No need to. I have gotten shoes for you.¡± Kisa was surprised. ¡°You even prepared my shoes?¡± She was really ttered. ¡®Doesn¡¯t he still resent and snub me? Yet, he had prepared shoes for me without my knowledge.¡¯ Felicity also looked surprised. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that you were so thoughtful.¡± While she said that, she shot Davian a look. Davian felt miserable, telling himself that he must not allow Felicity to see Gilbert and Kisa disy their affection for each other next time. Gilbert quickly brought a shoe box over from the doorway. ¡°Try them on. I bought them when I shopped for the phone this morning.¡± Kisa took the shoe box and opened it. It was a pair of espadrilles. Felicityughed again. ¡°Mr. Kooper, we are going to the party of the Mullen family, Athadale¡¯s richest family. People from the higher echelon in the city will all be present. Won¡¯t this embarrass Kisa by asking her to wear espadrilles? Espadrilles with evening gowns are such a funnybo.¡± Kisa also felt the same. But, since Gilbert had made an effort to buy them for her, she did not want to disappoint him. besides, she knew that he was bad-tempered. If she refused him outright, he would definitely be upset. While Kisa was thinking of that, Gilbert suddenly took the pair of espadrilles out of the box, squatted down, and ced them at her feet. ¡°Here, try them on.¡± Now, Kisa did not even have an excuse to refuse especially when he had crouched down in front of her. She looked at Felicity, lifted the hem of her dress, and took off her slippers when Gilbert suddenly took hold of her foot. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1211 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1211 Chapter 1211 I Believe You Should Address Her as Mrs. Kooper Kisa involuntarily shuddered a little. Her feet were a little cold, so she could evidently feel his palm¡¯s warmth now that they were in Gilbert¡¯s hands. She gripped the hem of her skirt tightly. Then, she lowered her gaze and looked at the man in front of her. Kisa watched as the man carefully helped her put on the espadrilles. Once he was done with one foot, he lifted her other foot and helped her put on an espadrille. The espadrilles werefortable and felt soft on the step. After the man helped her put on her shoes, he smoothed out the hem of her skirt. The skirt was really long, puffy, and floor-length. So, one could not tell that Kisa was wearing espadrilles. Even though the espadrilles were ts, the soles were at least an inch thick. Kisa took a few steps, and the shoes did not show easily. Gilbert said to her, ¡°You¡¯re not short, so there¡¯s no need to wear high heels. You¡¯ll feel tired when attending banquets like this. Wearing espadrilles will make you feel much morefortable.¡± Felicity was stunned at the sight of this. ¡®Earlier on, I thought he was not right in the head for giving Kisa a pair of shoes that did not match her outfit at all. But now, I think he¡¯s really thoughtful,¡¯ she thought. Felicity promptly turned to Davian, ¡°Look at how thoughtful and considerate Mr. Kooper is, and then look at yourself. You worked this many years for him for nothing. You didn¡¯t learn any of his good traits.¡± ¡®There she goes again!¡¯ thought Davian thought. Davian lowered his head and felt speechless. ¡®If I were like Mr. Kooper and had given her a pair of espadrilles, she would¡¯ve scolded me for being not right in the head. That¡¯s how unreasonable this woman is,¡¯ he thought again. When Kisa felt the softness of the espadrilles, she felt a warm feeling coursing through her Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. heart. She looked at the man in front of her and said sincerely, ¡°Thank you.¡± Gilbert did not answer and returned to the couch. Then, he picked up the magazine and continued reading. Kisa pursed her lips. ¡®While this man can be very thoughtful at times, his thoughtfulnesses with a little awkwardness. Sometimes, it makes me wonder if it¡¯s because he doesn¡¯t know how to express himself. He had the intention and did something considerate, yet he just doesn¡¯t say things that¡¯ll make people happy,¡¯ she thought. Felicity hired a few stylists and makeup artists toe over. By seven o¡¯clock, they had all gotten ready. It was nightfall. The Mullen residence looked grandeur and brightly lit. Their massive courtyard was luxuriously decorated, lively, and bustling with people. Several rows of expensive cars were parked outside the courtyard. Gilbert and the rest came together in a car with Davian as their driver. When they arrived at the Mullen residence, they looked at the courtyard from outside. They saw that a number of people were already there. And, a security guard was guarding the door. Gilbert walked up and handed his invitation. The security guard nced at it and respectfully said, ¡°Please enter, Mr. Kooper.¡± Since Kisa and Felicity came with him, they did not even have to show their invitation. Just as they walked into the courtyard, a gray-haired elderly man with a healthyplexion came walking pver with a cane. Kisa had met this elderly man once. He was Mr. Mullen Sr., the star of tonight¡¯s banquet. ¡°Oh my, you¡¯re here, Mr. Kooper. Didn¡¯t you say you were busy?¡± Kisa recalled that the Mullen family and Gilbert did not quite see eye to eye. However, they seemed friendly on the surface. Gilbert smiled at him politely. ¡°It¡¯s your birthday banquet. Of course, I¡¯de. I burned the midnight oil for two consecutive nights and finally finished the work in hand. Only then did I have the time toe over.¡± ¡°Ha-ha! I¡¯m honored,¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. said as his gaze shifted to Kisa. Kisa could not find the words to describe the look in Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s eyes, but it made her feel ufortable. ¡°Oh my. Superstar Kisa is here too.¡± ¡°I believe you should address her as Mrs. Kooper.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1212 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1212 Chapter 1212 Mrs. Kooper, You¡¯re So Big-Hearted Gilbert gently hugged Kisa by the shoulder and said to Mr. Mullen Sr. with emphasis and a smile on his face. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Mr. Mullen Sr. narrowed his eyes slightly. A momentter, he took a puff of his cigarette. Then, he smiled meaningfully and said, ¡°If you hadn¡¯t mentioned it, I really would¡¯ve forgotten that she¡¯s your wife. If you had known that you and your wife would end up being this loving, was there a need for you and me to leave on bad terms because of that woman?¡± Kisa was stunned. ¡®Mr. Mullen Sr. must be talking about Sara,¡¯ she thought. ¡°Back then, I almost got you killed because of that woman. Do you remember?¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. said with a smile. However, he did not forget to observe Kisa¡¯s reaction. Kisa did not know why he was bringing this up at a time like this. Regardless, he certainly had bad intentions judging from the situation. Before Gilbert could speak, Kisa said to Mr. Mullen Sr. with a polite smile, ¡°This happened a long ago. You have a good memory, Mr. Mullen Sr.¡± ¡°Ha-ha! It¡¯s not that I have a good memory, but it¡¯s too memorable. I¡¯ve been alive for years, yet I¡¯ve never seen a man throw his life away for a woman.¡± Gilbert subconsciously tightened his grip on Kisa¡¯s shoulder as if he was worried that she would misunderstand something. However, Kisa continued smiling politely. She said to Mr. Mullen Sr. with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. After all, Mr. Kooper has always been someone who values his rtionships. If it was me back then, I think he would¡¯ve thrown his life to save me too.¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. froze slightly as if he did not expect Kisa to say such a thing. A momentter, he smiled at her meaningfully and replied, ¡°Mrs. Kooper, you¡¯re so big hearted.¡± ¡°It¡¯s something that happened a long time ago. If we constantly fuss over such things, then we¡¯d be giving ourselves a hard time,¡± Kisa said. Then, she continued politely, ¡°It¡¯s your 70th birthday today. I wish you great fortune and great health.¡± Then, she handed a gift to the attendant beside Mr. Mullen Sr. Davian and Felicity quickly handed over their gifts as well. Mr. Mullen Sr. chuckled, and his gaze toward Kisa changed a little. it was no longer as disdainful as it was before. ¡°Mr. Mullen Sr., you must have other guests to attend to. So, we won¡¯t be in your way.¡± ¡°Ha-ha, alright. Go in and have fun.¡± Kisa nodded politely at Mr. Mullen Sr. and walked into the banquet hall while holding onto Gilbert¡¯s hand. Davian and Felicity quickly followed. Mr. Mullen Sr. stared at Kisa¡¯s back and smirked slightly. ¡®I have underestimated this woman from the start,¡¯ he thought. ¡°I¡¯m right, aren¡¯t I, dad? This woman is Gilbert Kooper¡¯s weakness.¡± Right after Kisa and Gilbert had left, Anthony emerged from the crowd. Mr. Mullen Sr. exhaled a smoke ring and snorted, ¡°So what if the woman is his weakness? She¡¯s clearly not someone who can be easily taken advantage of. You knew this woman. was his weak spot, yet I didn¡¯t see you using her to do anything to Gilbert Kooper! You¡¯ve been in Calthon for so long, but you still haven¡¯t made a name for yourself!¡± Anthony lowered his head, and a hint of embarrassment shed across his face. Mr. Mullen Sr. continued, ¡°I heard you brought a new woman here today. Remember this, the Mullen family is great, so don¡¯t bring random women home. Not only will it be a disgrace, but you¡¯ll also bring shame to the family name!¡± Anthony tightly clenched his fists by his sides. ¡®Dignity is the most important thing to grandma. Back then, he was only interested in my mother¡¯s beauty. He was merely toying with her. However, he didn¡¯t expect my mother to be so scheming. After she got pregnant with his child, she used her pregnancy and the media and finally entered the Mullen family. However, my mother and I were still looked down upon,¡¯ he thought. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1213 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1213 Chapter 1213 Are You Disciplining Your Youngest Son Again? ¡®People have been calling me lowly ever since I was a child. Over time, I also started to feel contempt for my mother¡¯s status and disdain toward her birth. For years, my mother and I lived in an oppressed state. Even though my mother was still considered one of my father¡¯s wives, she had to bow and scrape when she faced the first wife. Sometimes, even the first wife¡¯s servants would order my mother around,¡¯ Anthony thought. As he thought of that, the hate within Anthony grew. His resentment toward his mother had also increased. ¡®If it wasn¡¯t for my mother¡¯s status, or if she hadn¡¯t pulled those tricks to join the Mullen family, I wouldn¡¯t have been looked down on by others,¡¯ he thought again. Mr. Mullen Sr. nced at him and disdainfully said, ¡°Alright. Why are you still standing here? Go see if Arthur is here yet. If he isn¡¯t, go pick him up.¡± ¡°Yes, dad,¡± Anthony answered respectfully. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the entrance of the courtyard. ¡°Oh, Mr. Mullen Sr.! Happy birthday. Happy birthday.¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. and Anthony looked over at the same time. The person walking in was Adrien. Mr. Mullen Sr. was immediately all smiles. ¡°Ha-ha, Mr. Tanner. You¡¯re finally here. Come in, He grabbed Adrien enthusiastically as if they were old friends that were reunited. Adrien nced at Anthony. Then, he smiled at Mr. Mullen Sr. and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you disciplining your youngest son again?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not go there. Among all of my sons, he¡¯s the most useless one,¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. said disdainfully. Then, he growled lowly at Anthony, ¡°Leave. Why are you still standing here?¡± Anthony clenched his fists by his side and respectfully said, ¡°Alright.¡± Then, he nced at Adrien icily before finally leaving. ¡®Speaking of which, Adrien Tanner might be a huge part of why I couldn¡¯t bring Gilbert down at Calthon. If it wasn¡¯t for him acting as if he had secured the win and advised us not to act hastily, I wouldn¡¯t have ended up not achieving a thing after staying in Calthon for so long. How loathsome! Nevertheless, I must bring Gilbert down. That way, dad will look at me and my mother in a different light,¡¯ Anthony thought. ¡°Hey, look! Mr. Tanner is here too,¡± Davian whispered to Gilbert. He stood at the center of the banquet while looking at the courtyard¡¯s entrance. Felicity chimed in, ¡°Mr. Tanner is considered somebody in the business world, so it¡¯s not surprising for him to be invited to Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday banquet.¡± ¡°No. I just find it weird how Mr. Tanner seems close with everyone.¡± Hearing those words, Kisa could not help but feel startled. She turned to look at the courtyard entrance. Mr. Mullen Sr. and Adrien were chatting in a chummy manner. It was as if they had known each other for a long time. Kisa frowned slightly. Her feeling of Adrien not being what he seemed grew stronger. She also started to doubt whether Adrien and her mother were truly old friends. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org She even started to suspect Adrien of having ulterior motives for getting close to her previously. ¡®But, Jensen was the one who introduced Adrien to me,¡¯ she thought. At the thought of Jensen, who was still in aa, Kisa dismissed her doubts. Jensen would never hurt me even if the whole world did,¡¯ she thought again. ¡°Mr. Tanner, since you¡¯re here, have fun at my ce for a few days. What do you say?¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. smiled at Adrien while holding his cane. Adrien nodded, ¡°That¡¯s what I had in mind. We could also discuss our other partnerships.¡± He paused and thought for a while. Then, he smiled at Mr. Mullen Sr. and suggestively asked, ¡°By the way, it¡¯s been a few years, hasn¡¯t it? How¡¯s the woman I gave you? Does she know how to please you?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1214 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1214 Chapter 1214 Who Else Did You Risk Your Life For? ¡°That woman¡­¡± Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s face flushed at the mention of the woman. He touched the gray mustache on his chin and wickedly smirked, ¡°That woman is very skilled. She makes me feel good every time. To be honest, that woman is amazing. Why didn¡¯t you keep her for yourself back then?¡± ¡°Ha-ha. Don¡¯t you like her?¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. nodded in delight. Then, he shook his head and sighed, ¡°Say, why did Gilbert act that way back then? He was almost killed by me just to save the woman. Ultimately, the woman still ended up serving me in bed willingly.¡± Adrien looked at him with a dark glint in his eyes. Back then, Mr. Mullen Sr. grew slightly fond of me because I gave him that woman. He has even gone as far as to treat me politely every time we meet. I heard long ago that Mr. Mullen Sr. is a womanizer and likes beautiful women with hot bodies. It seems like ! made the right choice using that woman. It¡¯s been years, yet Mr. Mullen Sr. still hasn¡¯t gotten tired of her. He even blushed at the mention of the woman. It¡¯s evident that the woman has some skills in bed,¡¯ Adrien thought. Felicity was holding herself back at the food counter. Momentster, she eventually could not resist asking Gilbert curiously, ¡°Who was the woman Mr. Mullen Sr. was talking about when he came in? Who else did you risk your life for other than Kisa?¡± Gilbert instantly side-eyed her as if he despised her for talking too much. Felicity pouted. ¡®I¡¯m just curious. Who doesn¡¯t have curiosity?¡¯ she thought. Kisa indifferently plucked the man¡¯s hand from her waist. Gilbert frowned deeply. He stubbornly gripped her waist and pulled her into his arms. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. The man lowered his gaze to look at her and asked sadly, ¡°It¡¯s a trifling matter that happened years ago, and you¡¯re bothered by it?¡± ¡®I knew it. She was purposefully smiling politely in front of Mr. Mullen Sr. just now. Deep down, she still resents me,¡¯ he thought. The woman¡¯s tone turned dismal and was mingled with resentment. ¡°You¡¯re right. It¡¯s a trifling matter that happened years ago. But, I almost lost my lifest year because of this trifling matter that happened years ago.¡± ¡®I only learned about this trifling matter that happened years ago when I met Anthonyst year and got kidnapped by him. I would¡¯ve never known that he almost died while saving Sara if it weren¡¯t for that incident. Now, it looks like it wasn¡¯t because he loved me when he almost died saving me at Kerrona Hill. After all, he risked his life for another woman,¡¯ Kisa thought. Felicity grew even more curious after hearing their conversation. Just as she was about to ask more questions, Davian quickly pulled her. Then, he said in a helpless and soft voice, ¡°I¡¯m begging you, stop provoking Mr. Kooper. I¡¯ll tell you whatever you want to know.¡± Felicity¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°You know?¡± ¡°Duh. I¡¯m Mr. Kooper¡¯s personal assistant. Back then, I was with Mr. Kooper when we saved that woman. How would I not know?¡± Felicity quickly pulled him to a corner. ¡°Honestly! You should¡¯ve said you knew about it. You made me hold in my curiosity for so long.¡± Davian rolled his eyes. ¡°You didn¡¯t even ask. How would I know that you were holding it in?¡± Kisa plucked the hand on her waist again. However, the man stubbornly gripped her waist and refused to let go. Kisa turned to him in frustration. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It happened a long time ago. I won¡¯t fuss over it.¡± However, Gilbert did not believe her and continued holding her. Just then, Gilbert saw something. His eyes immediately darkened as a hint of astonishment shed across them. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1215 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1215 Chapter 1215 A Figure That Looked Like Sara Mitchell N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Kisa was startled. She followed his gaze and saw a figure among the crowd. There was nothing special about the figure, but it looked a lot like Sara Mitchell. Even the figure¡¯s walking posture looked exactly like Sara¡¯s. Kisa immediately tensed up. ¡®Could that figure be Sara?¡¯ she wondered. Just as she had this thought, the grip on her waist loosened. Kisa turned around and saw the man stride toward the figure. He did it hastily and emotionally with practically no hesitation. Kisa was in a daze as she watched Gilbert chase after the figure. After his and the woman¡¯s figure disappeared in the crowd, Kisa finally lowered her head. Then, a disappointed expression shed across her face. ¡®Turns out, it¡¯s exactly like what the employees of GK Pictures said. I only have the right to stand by his side and be Mrs. Kooper because Sara Mitchell isn¡¯t around. If Sara was still here, I wouldn¡¯t have anything to do with all this. The person that man loves has always and only been Sara,¡¯ she thought. Kisa sighed heavily. ¡®Hah. It doesn¡¯t matter. Who cares about who he actually likes? It has nothing to do with me. So much happened between the two of us. We¡¯ve gone through so much hurt and hatred. Was I actually expecting him to truly love me?¡¯ she thought again. She dismissed her bothersome thoughts and walked to the food counter. Then, she grabbed a tray and quietly picked some food. Kisa could feel the softness of the espadrilles beneath her feet. She pursed her lips and still felt a little suffocated. Kisa took a lot of pastries. ¡®I don¡¯t know what¡¯s up with me recently. I have always enjoyed eating spicy food, but I suddenlye to like cakes and desserts,¡¯ she thought. After picking up some food, Kisa grabbed her tray and went to find Felicity and Davian. However, when she saw the two chatting and smiling cheerfully, she hesitated. In the end, she did not go over to them. Instead, she found a quiet corner and sat down. ¡®Felicity and Davian¡¯s rtionship is finally starting to grow, so I better not go over there and disturb them,¡¯ she thought. The Mullen residence¡¯s courtyard was enormous. There was even a massive pool by its side. The setup of the courtyard was particrly extravagant and luxurious. Many people attended the banquet. Judging from their attire and elegance, most were elites who came from big families. Kisa was a celebrity, so she was not exactly somebody. Regardless, several people came over to talk to her. Most of them addressed her as ¡°Mrs. Kooper.¡± Kisa responded to their words coldly while keeping a distant but polite smile. When the people who chatted with Kisa noticed her cold personality, they all left after chatting with her for a bit. Kisa sat in the rattan chair. She ate the pastries as she observed the people at the banquet. Some were chatting andughing, while others were dancing. Then, her gaze fell onto some men and women standing on the dance floor. ¡®If Gilbert hadn¡¯t chased after that figure just now, would he be inviting me to dance right now? I wonder if he caught up with that figure. And, was that figure Sara? If that figure really is Sara, does that mean I¡¯ll be cleared of the usation of kidnapping Sara Mitchell years ago?¡¯ Kisa wondered. She thought again, ¡®Sigh! Whatever. Why am I thinking of these things? Times have changed. Clearing the usation of whether I kidnapped Sara or not doesn¡¯t mean anything to me anymore. Now that I¡¯m here at the Mullen residence, I have more important things to do. I need to think of a way to stay at the Mullen residence. Years ago, Adrien stayed at the Mullen residence for a long period of time. He must¡¯ve left some traces here. Even if he didn¡¯t leave any traces, everyone in the Mullen family definitely knows about him. That¡¯s why I need to stay here for a few days if I want to know Adrien¡¯s whereabouts. But, what kind of excuse should I use to stay at the Mullen residence for a few days?¡¯ Then, she quietly took out the crystal pendant. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1216 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1216 Chapter 1216 Who Doesn¡¯t Want to Watch Something Fun? Kisa stared at the photo inside the crystal pendant. Then, she fell into deep thought. ¡®Since that young man is Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s grandson, I might stand a chance if I approach him. But, there are so many people at the banquet. I don¡¯t even know if I¡¯ll get the chance to meet him,¡¯ she thought. Then, she turned to look at the massive vi in front of her. The vi was several stories high and built on arge plot ofnd. ¡®I heard everyone in the Mullen family stays in this house because Mr. Mullen Sr. likes a lively environment. Besides, his sons are always finding ways to butter him up. That¡¯s why everyone scrambled to stay with him as if they were worried that they¡¯d missed the opportunity to curry favor with him. There are so many of them staying together, yet his few sons are not from the same mother. Needless to say, this big family must be prettyplicated. I wonder if they¡¯ll agree to let an outsider like me stay here,¡¯ Kisa thought. While Kisa was thinking to herself restlessly, she suddenly heard a discussion beside her. ¡°I heard Anthony Mullen brought a in Jane with him to attend the banquet.¡± ¡°Really? Which celebrity is she? Or, is she a micro-influencer?¡± ¡°Neither. I heard that she¡¯s a barmaid at a bar.¡± Kisa froze. ¡®A barmaid? Lea? Did Anthony bring Lea to the banquet? What was he thinking? Does he actually have some feelings for Lea?¡¯ she wondered. ¡°Huh? A barmaid. That¡¯s impossible. Weren¡¯t his mother called lowly for being a showgirl at a bar? Why would he ask a barmaid to be his dance partner? Isn¡¯t he embarrassing himself?¡± ¡°Who knows? Maybe the lowly person coincidentally hit it off with another lowly person.¡± ¡°Shush! Don¡¯t say that. Even though Anthony was birthed by that showgirl, he¡¯s still Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s son and a young master in the Mullen family. He¡¯s a nobody, but he¡¯s still somebodypared to us, so we better not piss him off.¡± ¡°So what? He¡¯s as submissive as a dog in front of his brothers. I wonder what Ms. Reyes sees in Anthony. Come to think of it, Ms. Reyes is from a prestigious family.¡± ¡°I know, right? The thing is, Anthony actually doesn¡¯t like Ms. Reyes and has taken a fancy to a showgirl instead. Ms. Reyes was furious. Earlier, I heard Ms. Reyes say that she was going to teach that showgirl a lesson.¡± Kisa felt her heart clench. She quickly took out her phone and dialed Lea¡¯s number. She wanted to remind Lea to be careful. However, no one answered the phone even after she called a few times. ¡®Did she not hear her phone ringing because it¡¯s too noisy at the banquet?¡¯ she wondered. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. ¡°Ms. Reyes has already made a move. I saw her pping that showgirl just now. By the way, that showgirl looks so pitiful. It¡¯s no wonder that men like her.¡± Hearing this, Kisa panicked even more. She shot up and dashed to the few women. ¡°Who¡¯s this Ms. Reyes that you speak of? Where is she?¡± The few women were startled by her voice. However, they were women from high society, after all. All of them were up on their high horses and refused to speak to her. Kisa¡¯s expression grew cold. Then, she slowly asked, ¡°Where in the world is she teaching that barmaid a lesson?¡± Kisa had always looked a little icy when she did not smile. Now that she had darkened her expression, she instantly exuded a suffocating vibe. A woman in a luxurious dress and delicate makeup smiled and said, ¡°Why? Do you also want to watch the fun?¡± ¡°Yeah. Who doesn¡¯t want to watch something fun? Where are they?¡± ¡°Hoho. Alright, then. Come with us. We¡¯ll take you there. Coincidentally, we¡¯d like to watch the fun too.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1217 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1217 Chapter 1217 Do You Have A Death Wish? Kisa only followed the few women for a bit before they suddenly heard amotion nearby. Other than the people on the dance floor and at the pool, everyone turned in the direction. of the commotion. The few women looked at each other. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me Ms. Reyes rooted out the barmaid and beat her up?¡± ¡°No way. Ms. Reyes cares about her reputation.¡± Kisa panicked. She did not bother listening to their conversation and quickly walked toward the commotion. ¡°You lowly b*tch!¡± Ms. Reyes wore a ssy dress as she stood arrogantly in front of a woman. Meanwhile, the woman lying on the ground had red, swollen, and messy p marks on both sides of her cheeks. Ms. Reyes picked up Lea¡¯s purse and took out a diamond ne. She snorted icily,¡± You¡¯re caught red-handed. How are you going to deny it?¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t me. I didn¡¯t steal your things. You clearly stuffed that ne into my purse,¡± Lea said through her tears. SLAP! Ms. Reyes pped her again roughly. Blood starteding out from the corner of Lea¡¯s mouth. Ms. Reyes forcefully stepped on the back of Lea¡¯s hand. Then, she even used all her might to add more pressure. Lea gasped in pain. She lifted her head in difficulty and hurriedly searched for Anthony as if she was searching for her lifeline. After Anthony left her at the banquet, he said he had something to do and left. Before he left, he told Lea to eat whatever she wanted. He also told her to try to stay in secluded corners, not to speak if possible, and try to wait for his return. ¡®I clearly did what he said; I stayed in a very secluded corner. I didn¡¯t even dare to take any food when I was hungry. I kept on waiting for his return anxiously. But, I don¡¯t know why he didn¡¯t return, and this woman appeared instead. I don¡¯t know this woman, yet she¡¯s hitting and scolding me. She even deliberately hid her ne in my bag to frame me for stealing it. I¡¯m still confused. Why would this woman do this to me?¡¯ wondered Lea. She anxiously scanned the crowd. However, she still could not find the man. Everyone looked at her with gazes of disdain and contempt. It seemed like everyone believed the woman¡¯s words and thought that Lea had stolen the woman¡¯s ne. Lea was terrified. She was filled with panic and helplessness. She desperately hoped for someone toe forward and help her. However, everyone merely stood there in cynicism as they watched her. Just as Lea felt helpless and in despair, a familiar figure rushed over and pushed Ms. Reyes aside. Ms. Reyes was wearing incredibly high-heeled shoes, so Kisa¡¯s push caused her to fall right to the ground. Kisa helped Lea up in a panic, ¡°Are you okay? Why did you get beaten up?¡± Then, she turned to Ms. Reyes icily with an air of hostility. Lea tightly grabbed Kisa¡¯s hands as tears continuously rolled down her face. ¡°Kisa¡­ It¡¯s really you, Kisa¡­¡± she said in a trembling voice. Lea did not expect the person she had betrayed to be the person who would help her in the end. She felt bitter but could only continue gripping Kisa¡¯s hands tightly.

Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1218 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1218 Chapter 1218 Helping Her to p You Back While Kisa was a celebrity actress, high-society women like Ms. Reyes looked down on people like her. Even though she was the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO and Gilbert Kooper¡¯s wife, she was still born and bred in Calthon and did not frequent Athadale. That was why many did not know or recognize her. Obviously, Ms. Reyes did not recognize Kisa. Ms. Reyes walked up to Kisa and Lea. Then, she snorted sardonically, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Was a barmaid not enough, so another one came?¡± Lea seemed to be terrified of Ms. Reyes. She subconsciously cowered away when Ms. Reyes walked over. Kisa shielded Lea. Then, she turned to the arrogant-looking woman in front of her, ¡°Who are you to hit my friend?¡± ¡°Ha-ha. So, you really are her friend. Two lowly barmaids from a bar.¡± ¡°Shut your mouth!¡± Kisa growled icily. She continued, ¡°You pped her until she¡¯s like this.

She crossed her arms and arrogantly said, ¡°You want to p me? Do you know who I am? A lowly barmaid like you two want me to apologize? You think too highly of yourselves!¡± ¡°Will you apologize or not?¡± Kisa asked coldly. Her tone was filled with iciness and hostility. Ms. Reyes was startled for a moment before she smiled arrogantly. ¡°You lowly b*tch. You want me, the eldest daughter of the Reyes family, to apologize? Dream on!¡± SLAP! Right after Ms. Reyes finished talking, Kisa promptly lifted her hand and pped her. Ms. Reyes was in a daze after the p.

Otherwise, I would¡¯ve been at a disadvantage fighting on the grass,¡¯ Kisa thought. Lea tugged on Kisa¡¯s arm fearfully and urged, ¡°Forget it, Kisa. Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Go?¡± Kisa turned to her. She asked in a low voice, ¡°She wanted to teach you a lesson. Do you think you can just leave? Backing away will only encourage her.¡± ¡®If I hadn¡¯t rushed over, who knows what that woman would¡¯ve done to Lea. Besides, Lea is pregnant with a child. Sooner orter, she¡¯ll lose the child if that woman continues pping her that way. And, I don¡¯t know the meaning behind Anthony¡¯s actions. Since he brought Lea to the banquet, why isn¡¯t he staying by her side? He knows that Lea doesn¡¯t have a high status, so leaving her alone at the banquet would definitely cause her to get bullied,¡¯ Kisa thought. Lea pursed her lips and said sadly, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t havee.¡± Kisa patted her hands as a sign of constion, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared; I¡¯m here. Besides, my friends are here too, so it¡¯ll be alright.¡± ¡®I know my boundaries. Gilbert, Felicity, and Davian are at this banquet, so Gilbert will back me up if I cross Ms. Reyes.

What do you take the Mullen residence for? A market?¡± Kisa turned to the source of the voice. She saw an old woman with an air of refinement walk toward them. The old woman had gray hairs but a healthyplexion. She wore a floral-patterned evening gown. She also had light makeup on her face, a pearl ne on her neck, and a diamond ring on her finger. She looked incredibly regal. Next to the old woman was a slightly younger woman who was supporting her. That woman also dressed decently. Even though she was getting on in years, one could tell that she used to be a beauty in her younger years from her eyes. However, in terms of elegance, the woman was still miles awaypared to the old woman. This was because her gaze constantly shifted as if shecked confidence. While Kisa observed them, the old woman and thedy helping her had already walked over. ¡°What¡¯s going on? What do you take the Mullen residence for?¡± The old woman asked in a stern voice as she watched the scene in front of her. The moment the old woman spoke, she exuded a suffocating presence. Kisa peered at her for a moment. ¡®Don¡¯t tell me she¡¯s Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s first wife-Mrs. Mullen Sr.?¡¯ she thought. While she was deep in thought, Ms. Reyes suddenly dashed up to the old woman and cried. aggrievedly, ¡°Mrs. Mullen Sr., a lowly barmaid from a bar has stolen my diamond ne. Just as I was about to teach her a lesson, a lowlier woman suddenly appeared. She pped me and kicked me. Please help me set things straight!¡± ¡°A barmaid from a bar?¡± the old woman instantly frowned. Then, she asked in a low voice, This is the Mullen family¡¯s banquet. How could a barmaid from a bar sneak in? What do you think the security guard by the door is for?¡± ¡°A barmaid really did sneak in!¡± Karen hurriedly said. Then, she raised her arm and pointed at Lea. ¡°Look, that¡¯s her. She¡¯s the barmaid. She even stole my ne!¡± When Karen pointed over, Lea subconsciously hid behind Kisa¡¯s back. Suddenly, a middle-aged woman standing in the crowd had a light-bulb moment. She came out from the crowd and said to the old woman, ¡°Mom, I remember who she is now. Anthony brought her here.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± the woman standing beside the olddy immediately turned pale. She growled lowly, ¡°Anthony would never bring a woman like that here.¡± ¡°Hmph. Aunt Jane, I¡¯m not falsely using Anthony. I saw Anthony bring her here with my own eyes. At the time, I thought she was one of the family¡¯s daughters. I didn¡¯t expect her to be a mere barmaid from a bar.¡± Carrie Wagner, the second daughter-inw of the Mullen family, snorted sardonically. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Seeing Jane turn pale, she continued speaking to the old woman. ¡°Maybe they had a misunderstanding. Anthony would never bring a woman like her back here.¡± However, the old woman did not blindly rebuke Anthony.

Just then, they heard a familiar voice. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lea froze and hurriedly turned to the crowd. As expected, she saw Anthony emerge from the crowd. However, Anthony¡¯s expression darkened instantly when he saw Lea¡¯s bruised face. Just as he wanted to walk to Lea, Jane secretly tugged on his arm, indicating him not to go over there. Anthony frowned deeply and struggled for a few seconds. Despite that, he ended up not walking over to them when he saw the pleading look in his mother¡¯s eyes. Lea stared deeply at Anthony. However, she felt a twinge in her heart when she saw the indifferent look in Anthony¡¯s eyes. Then, she quietly shifted her gaze away. Meanwhile, Jane noticed all the changes in their expressions.

Kisa snorted coldly and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask Anthony if you don¡¯t believe her?¡± As she said that, she nced at him angrily. She resented him the moment he stopped standing up for her. She felt that it was not worth it. After hearing that, Carrie turned to look at Anthony again, but Anthony sneered, ¡°Carrie, she told you that I¡¯m not the one who brought her in here. Why can¡¯t you just let it go? Why must you try to hurt me?¡± ¡°What? You¡¯re my brother-inw; I would never try to harm you. Moreover, mom is here. Why would I dare nder you?¡± Carrie said and nced at Jane. Jane snorted coldly and said nothing. She had never been satisfied with her second daughter-inw. Carrie knew she had evidence, so she took out her phone, flipped through her photos, and said, ¡°Look, Anthony. I was taking pictures when I identally took a picture of you and a woman. Isn¡¯t she this the bar girl?!¡± Anthony¡¯s expression changed slightly. Jane¡¯s face also turned pale. Carrie nced at their faces proudly and showed the photo to the people around her. There was another intention behind her smile as she said, ¡°I don¡¯t know why you deny it. You should introduce her to everyone since you¡¯re the one who brought a woman with such status into our home. Even though she is a bar girl and a thief, she¡¯s still your friend, Anthony. We can¡¯t turn a blind eye. I mean, the Mullen family did ept your lowly mother into the family.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Anthony roared as Carrie¡¯s words seemed to cross the line. Suddenly, a burst of discussion started to go around the room. They were all mocking Anthony and his mother, saying how his mom was a stripper in a bar, how he was now dating a bar girl, and how cheap both of the women were. Jane lowered her head, looking as if she could not stand upright, while Mrs. Mullen Sr. watched everything with a cold gaze. Anthony put his hand on his head as a dark and violent look gradually appeared on his face. ¡®I hate this! I loathe all of this! I¡¯ve worked so hard to get rid of these mockeries and insults, but it¡¯s impossible! It¡¯s all that woman¡¯s fault. It¡¯s all her fault! i told her to hide in a secluded area. I told her not to run around and attract attention. Why didn¡¯t she listen? Why must shee out here and humiliate me? WHY?!!! Anthony red at Lea fiercely. His eyes were full of violence, resentment, and disgust. Lea stared nkly at his scarlet eyes. Her heart sank gradually, and her whole body felt like she was trapped in an iceberg, shivering from the cold. She understood what Anthony was feeling. ¡®It¡¯s all my fault. I made a mistake. I made him lose face.¡± Kisa looked at Lea when she noticed that she was trembling. After a while, she turned toward somewhere else. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1221 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1221 Chapter 1221 Stop with The Nonsense When Carrie was proudly showing the photos and everyone was mocking Anthony, Kisa suddenly said, ¡°My, my, Mrs. Mullen. You took pictures? Isn¡¯t that too obvious? Are you afraid that people wouldn¡¯t know that you¡¯ve been trying to harm your brother-inw?¡± Kisa had roughly sorted out who they were as she watched everything unfold. ¡®That olddy must be Mrs. Mullen Sr., and everyone is afraid of her. Carrie must be her second daughter- inw, the wife of her second son.¡¯ Kisa even wondered if Mrs. Mullen Sr.¡¯s second son was her own, judging by how she treated his wife. ¡®As for Jane, she should be Anthony¡¯s mother. The dynamic between the Mullen family members feels chaotic,¡¯ she thought. Carrie¡¯s face suddenly changed when she heard what Kisa had said. ¡°That¡¯s outrageous. It just so happened that I took the photo. It wasn¡¯t intentional.¡± ¡°The photo you ¡®unintentionally¡¯ took looks somewhat intentional, though. Look, everything in the photo is blurry except for Anthony and my friend. How can we believe that you didn¡¯t take it on purpose?¡± Carrie was at a loss for words. In the end, she snorted coldly, ¡°Even if I did take the picture on purpose, it still can¡¯t overturn the fact that Anthony brought this lowly woman into our home. Why is he denying it? He¡¯s clearly guilty!¡± ¡°Hah. He denied it because even though he was the one who let her in, he doesn¡¯t know her. Anthony was slightly startled when he heard that. He squinted his eyes and looked at Kisa in confusion, but Kisa did not bother to look at him. She was not trying to help him at that time. She was trying to help Lea.

Why would he let that lowly woman in if he doesn¡¯t know her?¡± Carrie questioned. ¡°That¡¯s because I asked him to bring her in for me,¡± Kisa replied with a smile. As she said that, she pulled Lea over and said, ¡°Lea is my friend. I brought her to this banquet, but I asked Anthony to lead her in because I had some matters to attend to. I don¡¯t understand why you¡¯re saying that they¡¯re together.¡± Kisa¡¯s words stunned everyone. ¡°Impossible! You must be a bar girl too! I don¡¯t know which men you came in here with, but you certainly don¡¯t have the power to bring that bar girl in here,¡± Karen said in disdain. Kisa pursed her lips coldly. She looked at Mrs. Mullen Sr., Karen Reyes, and Carrie as she said, ¡°Mr. Mullen Sr. invited me because I¡¯m the top celebrity in Athadale. I don¡¯t need some unknown man to come here. I will dly let you take a look at my invitation if you don¡¯t believe me.¡± Kisa then took out her invitation card from her bag. Everyone stared at her in surprise. They did not think that she was a top celebrity. Karen, on the other hand, looked disdainful and suspicious of her. ¡°That invitation must be fake! Besides, so what if you are a star? This is a luxurious banquet for the upper ss. Everyone here is wealthy. Why would uncle invite a lowly entertainer like you?¡± ¡®Of course, celebrities are nothing to these rich families.¡¯ Kisa smiled at Karen and said, ¡± Stop the nonsense. Look at the invitation if you don¡¯t believe me.¡± Karen bit her lip and did not move. Jane then came over to take the invitation letter and respectfully handed it over to Mrs. Mullen.

Sr. opened the letter and met Kisa¡¯s well-mannered gaze. However, there was still a hint of contempt. She closed the invitation and returned it to her as she said, ¡°That old man did invite you. It looks like you aren¡¯t just some artist.¡± Kisa smiled at her politely and said, ¡°Thank you, Mrs. Mullen Sr. I came here from Athadale to celebrate Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday. I brought my friend here to enjoy the banquet, but I did not expect to be treated like this by the Mullen family.¡± ¡°Hah. Ms. Reyes is not from our family. Don¡¯t put the me on us if she¡¯s the one who offended you and your friend. The Mullen family is the most respected family in Athadale.¡± ¡°What about her?¡± Kisa pointed at Carrie and asked. ¡°She was the one who didn¡¯t want to let my friend go.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all just a misunderstanding, isn¡¯t it? She thought your friend was a bar girl. Now that I think about it, that¡¯s impossible. I mean, how could a big star like you befriend a bar girl?¡± There was a hint of sarcasm behind the olddy¡¯s words, making people ufortable Karen became anxious when she heard what Mrs. Mullen Sr. had said. ¡°Auntie, she can¡¯t bully me like this even if Uncle Mullen invited her. Everyone saw how she was the one who hit me first. Look, her handprint is still on my face, and my stomach is hurting from her kicks. My father ordered me toe here and celebrate Uncle Mullen¡¯s birthday, but this is what I got. How could you allow this, Auntie?¡± As she spoke, she wiped her tears away, wanting to gain the pity of others. Several of her acquaintances began to use Kisa and Lea of bullying her when they saw her cry. Then, an idea shed in Carrie¡¯s mind. ¡°It¡¯s pretty simple, actually. That woman is the one to me,¡± she said with a smile and pointed at Lea with her slender fingers.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Lea could not help but flinch. Her eyes unconsciously nced at Anthony, but she quickly looked away. She wanted him to stand up for her, but he did not. Sometimes, she wanted to understand his point of view, but this time, she was done. ¡®If Kisa hadn¡¯te out just now, would he just watch me get framed and bullied like that? He obviously looks down on me!¡± Karen looked at her and agreed with Carrie. ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s all her fault. She stole from me.¡± ¡°What evidence do you have to prove that she¡¯s the one who stole from you?¡± Kisa asked coldly. Karen pursed her lips into a smile, took out the diamond ne, and said, ¡°I found this ne in her purse.¡± Lea shook her head hastily. ¡°It wasn¡¯t me. She nted it.¡± ¡°Hah. So you¡¯re saying the dignifieddy of the Reyes family is framing you?¡± Carrie sneered. ¡°Are you stupid? Why would she ever frame you with her status? You stole from her, and that¡¯s that. I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re still trying to argue with us.¡± ¡°It really wasn¡¯t me!¡± Lea held onto Kisa¡¯s arm and cried helplessly. ¡°I didn¡¯t steal anything from her!¡± At that moment, she no longer counted on Anthony to save her. Anthony looked at her quietly, clenching his fists, while Jane held his arm tightly as she was afraid that he would put himself into muddy waters. Kisa patted Lea¡¯s hand and said in a low voice, ¡°I believe you. Please, try to calm down. Remember to take care of your body.¡± Lea calmed down when she suddenly remembered the child in her womb. Then, Kisa looked at Karen and said, ¡°When did you realize that your ne was missing?

She¡¯s a thief!¡± Karen impatiently said. ¡°That means you didn¡¯t see her steal from you, right?¡± Kisa replied. ¡°I told you. My ne was found in her purse. Isn¡¯t that enough to show that she is a thief?¡± Kisa nodded with a smile and answered, ¡°So, ording to you, whoever has the ne in their bag is a thief?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that how it works?¡± Karen snorted coldly. Kisa smiled and looked at the floor. There were two bags on the ground. Looking at the material and color of the purses, it was immediately recognizable that the bright red bag belonged to Karen. On the other hand, Lea¡¯s bag was in a simple and in white design. Kisa picked up the red purse, and Karen instantly frowned. She rushed over and said, ¡°What are you doing?¡± When Karen came to snatch her bag away, Kisa secretly unsped her bracelet and slipped it into Karen¡¯s purse while no one was paying attention. Karen patted her purse in distaste as if her bag had be dirty after Kisa touched it. Kisa smiled lightly and said, ¡± Why are you so nervous? I picked the bag up because I was afraid that it would get dirty on the floor.¡± As she spoke, she picked up Lea¡¯s purse and returned it to her. Carrie frowned and spoke up, ¡°We are talking about Ms. Reyes¡¯s stolen ne. Did you pick up the bag on purpose to distract everyone¡¯s attention?¡±C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org ¡°Yeah¡­¡± The people started to follow. At that moment, Anthony and Jane did not dare to make a sound. They were scared of getting into trouble. Mrs. Mullen Sr. just watched with a cold gaze while Kisa sneered. Suddenly, Kisa pretended to be in shock. ¡°Ah! My bracelet is gone!¡± The people around them were taken aback once again. Karen and Carrie stared at her coldly. ¡°What the hell are you on about?¡± Kisa touched her slender wrist, pretending to be anxiously looking for her bracelet on the ground. Her acting skills were immacte. Everyone then subconsciously looked down to help her find the bracelet. ¡°Oh no! That bracelet was a gift from a friend. It¡¯s very significant to me. Please help me find it!¡± Kisa said anxiously and went to snatch Karen¡¯s bag away from her. ¡°What are you doing?!¡± Karen yelled fiercely. ¡°I thought about it. The person I had the most contact with at this banquet today was you. We fought, so I suspect that you stole my bracelet.¡± ¡°You must be crazy. Why would I, the dignified daughter of the Reyes family, possibly steal your worthless bracelet?¡± Karenughed disdainfully. ¡°Who knows, maybe you have a weird habit of stealing. I have to search your bag to see for myself.¡± ¡°Why? What right do you have to search my bag?!¡± Karen roared in anger. ¡°Then, what right did you have to search my friend¡¯s bag earlier?¡± Kisa sneered. Karen was at a loss for words. Kisa did not continue to argue with her. Instead, she just snatched her purse away. Although Karen was not happy about it, she knew she did not steal her bracelet, so she let her have it. She looked at Kisa and Lea coldly and said, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, if you fail to find your cheap bracelet in there, you and your lowly friend will have to kneel in front of me and apologize.¡± ¡°Oh, what¡¯s this?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1224 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1224 Chapter 1224 You¡¯re Framing Me As soon as she finished speaking, Kisa pulled out a shiny diamond bracelet from Karen¡¯s purse. Suddenly, Karen¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Impossible. That¡¯s impossible.¡± ¡°Impossible, you say? Everyone saw me pull it out from your bag,¡± Kisa sneered and threw the purse back to her. It was as if Karen had thought of something when she said, ¡°Y-You must have deliberately nted it in my bag when you picked it up earlier.¡± ¡°What proof do you have?¡± Kisa looked at her and sneered, ¡°You¡¯re the one who said that whoever has it in their bag is a thief, remember?¡± ¡°You¡¯re framing me!¡± ¡°Ha-ha. How could I ever dare to frame the d ignified daughter of the Reyes family? I¡¯m just trying to prove to everyone that if my friend¡¯s a thief, then so are you.¡± ¡°You!¡± Karen¡¯s face was contorted with anger. Carrie then took the opportunity and said, ¡°You are clearly framing Ms. Reyes. Everyone knows how reputable the Reyes family is in Athadale. She has such a good family background. How could she be a thief? Your friend, on the other hand, is a lowly bar girl. So, it¡¯s hard to say that she did not steal from Ms. Reyes.¡± Kisa narrowed her eyes coldly. ¡°Who said she was a bar girl?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t she?¡± Carrie chuckled lightly. ¡°Of course not. She¡¯s my assistant. You can look it up,¡± Kisa replied. Carrie was taken aback for a moment. ¡°You can say whatever you want, but we can find out who that friend of yours actually is,¡± she said sarcastically. She took a few photos out of her purse and threw them onto the ground. Kisa looked down and saw that they were all of Lea when she was working in the bar. ¡®It looks like she did her homework. She must have a hard time getting along with Anthony.¡¯ There were a few photos of Anthony and Lea together. ¡°You said that you were the one who brought this woman here and that Anthony did not know her. Then, how do you exin this?!¡± Carrie sneered. Initially, she did not want to make her actions seem too obvious. She did not n to show them the photos, but the situation exceeded her expectations. So, she had no choice but to bring out the big guns. Til make Anthony suffer all kinds of ridicule and make Mr. Mullen Sr. hate him right here and now so that he would be out of the will,¡¯ she thought. Kisa nced at the photo lightly and chuckled at Carrie, ¡°You really are something, huh? You even dug out my friend¡¯s previous job. However, shouldn¡¯t you be asking Anthony why he wouldn¡¯t let my friend go?¡± Lea subconsciously nced at Anthony, but all she saw was the indifference and disgust in the man¡¯s eyes. Anthony stepped on the photo and said with a sneer, ¡°So I spent my money in a bar. Why do you care? I ordered some drinks from her and from other women. Are you going to get all up in their business if theye home with me?¡± ¡°You!¡± ¡°You have too much time on your hands, Carrie. I can¡¯t believe you did so much to find out about a woman that has no rtionship with me.

She hurriedly chuckled,¡± Listen to what Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. you¡¯re saying. I obviously care about you.

At that moment, a crisp sound of a p sounded. Kisa was startled. She quickly pulled Lea away and shouted, ¡°What are you doing?! How dare you hit her in front of all these people?!¡± Karen red at Lea like she was going crazy. Kisa was baffled. ¡®I didn¡¯t expect her to do anything to Lea again after she had calmed down, especially right in front of Mrs. Mullen Sr. I was paying attention to Carrie and Anthony when she suddenly pped Lea across the face. Maybe she was thinking of something that angered her, which caused the fire in her heart to burn.¡± Karen pointed her finger at Lea and cursed, ¡°I want this b*tch dead! What qualifications does she have to take a photo with Anthony?! How could a cheap and lowly woman like her participate in such a grand event with the Mullen family? I lost face because of her. I want her dead!¡± Karen roared frantically and rushed toward Lea. Kisa was about to stop her, but someone tripped her. She staggered a few steps forward and fell to the ground. Karen threw herself at Lea and grabbed her hair. She started to hit and scold her at the same time. Kisa knew that Lea was weak. She could only squirm and try to resist the beating in that situation. However, she was nothingpared to Karen, who was not in the right mind. Kisa was about to get up to help Lea when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She bit her lip and tried to get up again, but her stomach hurt badly whenever she tried to move. She had no choice but to turn her head and look at Anthony, signaling him to save Lea. But, Anthony just watched her get beaten in disdain. Lea¡¯s face was scratched all over. Her hair was in a mess, and her neck was also covered in scratches. Kisa lowered her gaze and looked at the olddy. ¡°Is this how your family treats guests?¡± She asked, but Mrs. Mullen Sr. did not seem to care. She then said to Karen indifferently, ¡°Enough! Take your fight outside. Don¡¯t ruin the banquet.¡± However, Karen acted as if she did not hear her and continued to beat and kick Lea. Lea could not break free in that situation, so she held onto her stomach and protected it with all her strength. Mrs. Mullen Sr. smiled helplessly at Kisa and said, ¡°You saw it, right? It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t care about your friend; it¡¯s just that I can¡¯t help her. After all, Ms. Reyes is notoriously famous for being domineering.¡± Kisa pursed her lips coldly. ¡®This old woman clearly did not want to interfere. She would Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. have called the guards if she really wanted to stop this, ¡® she thought. Carrie watched Anthony¡¯s facial expression, and after a while, she said,¡± That woman is about to be beaten to death. Are you really not going to do anything? I mean, you guys did have some fun together.¡± Anthony sneered at her and said, ¡°She¡¯s nothing to me. She¡¯s just a lowly bar girl. I ordered some alcohol from her once, that¡¯s all.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart was cold when she heard that. She could not imagine how Lea would feel if she had heard that too. Lea was beaten until she curled up on the ground. Even so, she tightly held onto her lower abdomen. Kisa looked at her and started to tear up. She knew that she could not count on Anthony. So, she gritted her teeth and got up, rushing over to try and pull the crazy woman away. However, Karen got up and pushed her hard. Kisa almost fell back when a pair of arms suddenly appeared around her waist.

After Karen had pushed Kisa away, she continued to sit on Lea¡¯s body and hit her. Kisa hurriedly grabbed Gilbert¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Save Lea. Help me save Lea.¡± Gilbert¡¯s eyes darkened. He rushed over in a few steps, lifted Karen up, and tossed her out without any mercy. Everyone was stunned when they saw that. Mrs. Mullen Sr. frowned and stared at Gilbert. Her gaze was full of questions. Karen fell to the ground in embarrassment. She got up and yelled, ¡°Who the hell are you?! Is the Mullen residence a supermarket where everyone can juste and go?¡± ¡°Are you blind? Do you not recognize the CEO of GK Pictures, Mr. Kooper?¡± Davian ran to Mrs. Mullen Sr. and gave her a cold sneer. Karen was stunned. She looked at Gilbert in shock and said, ¡°Y-You¡¯re Mr. Kooper from GK Pictures?¡± ¡°Hah!¡± Felicity sneered. ¡°Even Mr. Mullen Sr. acts courteously around Mr. Kooper. How dare you be so ignorant and bully his wife? Even though your family is wealthy in Athadale, you are nowhere near the Kooper family from Calthon!¡± ¡°H-His wife? Who¡¯s his wife?¡± Karen¡¯s face changed. ¡°Open your eyes and take a good f*cking look. THIS is the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO,¡± Felicity snorted coldly as she walked over to help Kisa. Maybe it was an illusion, but Kisa could feel a cold and vicious gaze staring at her when Felicity introduced her to the crowd. She subconsciously nced around her but did not see any weird looks. Instead, the people looked at her in astonishment and shock. It was normal that they did not know who she was since she seldom participated in such high-end banquets with Gilbert and rarely dealt with the upper ss in Athadale. Karen shook her head in disbelief. ¡°No¡­ That¡¯s not possible¡­ She¡¯s just a low-ss celebrity. Her friend is a bar girl. How could she be the wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO?¡± Gilbert looked at her coldly, and she subconsciously took two steps back. He lightly put his arm around Kisa and said, ¡°She is my wife. How dare you bully her and her friend. Do you no longer want to have a ce in Athadale? ¡ö Karen turned pale. ¡°I-I didn¡¯t know she was your wife. I didn¡¯t mean it.

However, her tone became much softer when she saw Gilbert¡¯s gloomy face. Jane pulled her back. She smiled at Kisa and said, ¡°It¡¯s all just a misunderstanding. She thought your friend was a thief.

The woman¡¯s hair was messy, her nose was bruised, her face was swollen, and her body was battered. He secretly tightened his fists and was about to say something when Jane suddenly tugged his arm. After a long time, Anthony gritted his teeth and sneered, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s appropriate for a wealthydy to apologize to a bar girl? I¡¯m sorry, but she wouldn¡¯t be able to bear her apology!¡± Lea¡¯s heart twitched. She clenched her hands and looked at the man sadly. It seemed that she could not feel any pain in her body at that moment. Only her heart ached. Kisa was so furious that her eyes turned red. She wanted to say something, but Lea grabbed her hand and softly said, ¡°Forget it.¡± Kisa took a deep breath to calm herself down. ¡®If it wasn¡¯t for Lea, I would ruin that man¡¯s reputation this f*cking moment.¡¯ She turned her head and hugged the distressed Lea. ¡®I can only hope that she sees how badly this man treats her, and how she should stop obsessing over this rtionship.¡¯ Gilbert nced at Anthony in disdain and looked at Mrs. Mullen Sr. with a sharp gaze. ¡°My wife came here to celebrate Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday, but I didn¡¯t expect her to be bullied in the Mullen territory.

The olddy turned around as Jane and Carrie supported her. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed slightly as if she remembered something. Her gaze revealed a hint of hatred.

After all, your uncle was a frequent visitor to my home back then. I haven¡¯t heard from him for many years. Naturally, I am a little concerned.¡± Kisa stared at the olddy¡¯s face without blinking. She could vaguely see a trace of hatred and resentment in her eyes. ¡®I knew David had lived with the Mullen family, but what kind of grievances could he have with this olddy? Based on their age, she should be older than him by more than ten years. There¡¯s no way they had an emotional entanglement. But, why does she resent him? This rtionship between David and the Mullen family is getting more and more mysterious. I must find a way to stay here no matter what.¡¯ As she was thinking about it, the olddy had walked away with the help of the two women. Gilbert stared at her back for a moment, and his eyes were full of doubt. ¡°Are you okay, Kisa?¡± Felicity asked worriedly. ¡°Why are you holding your stomach? Is something wrong?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1229 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1229 Chapter 1229 You¡¯re the Bossiest Person Ever Gilbert suddenly looked anxious as he shifted his gaze to Kisa¡¯s stomach. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you injure yourself?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°Nope. I fell down and my stomach hurts a little, that¡¯s all.¡± Gilbert and Davian both stared at her nervously. Kisa felt very uneasy. Then, she added, ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. It felt all tingly earlier, but I feel a lot better now.¡± Gilbert furrowed his brows and carried her up directly without saying anything. Kisa was shocked as she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bring you to the hospital for a checkup now.¡± Gilbert sounded worried. Felicity¡¯s jaw dropped. ¡°Mr. Kooper, you¡¯re overreacting. It¡¯s nothing serious at all. I believe all of us have taken a fall before. Besides, she fell on the grass. How much could it hurt?¡± ¡°She¡¯s right! Put me down now!¡± Kisa struggled to get down. Indeed, Gilbert got too nervous about it. Also, Kisa thought that his reaction appeared to be a little fake after seeing how he looked when he went after that person who looked like Sara. Kisa tried to get away from him. ¡°Put me down!¡± There was just no way that she would go to the hospital. She still had to find an opportunity to live in the Mullen residence. Her entire trip to Athadale would be for nothing if she got admitted to the hospital. Gilbert was afraid that he would hurt Kisa after seeing how hard she tried to break free, so he quickly put her down. He stared at her belly deeply as he said in a tensed and worried tone, ¡°Let me know right away if you¡¯re not feeling well and well go to the hospital.¡± ¡°I told you it¡¯s nothing serious. There¡¯s no need to go to the hospital.¡± ¡°You said your stomach hurt!¡± Gilbert said as his gaze had never left her stomach. Kisa was confused at how nervous he got. Then, she said in a low voice, ¡°It did just now, but not anymore.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Gilbert squinted and stared at her stomach, and he just would not look away no matter what. Kisa could not stand how weird he acted to care for her as she spoke deeply, ¡°Yeah. I wouldn¡¯t have the energy to argue with you if I¡¯m not well.¡± ¡°Yeah, Mr. Kooper. Why would you want to bring her to the hospital? To get a sniff of the smell of disinfectant? You should just stay here and enjoy yourself. There are so much good wine and food here. We¡¯re going to have a great time.¡± ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m not going to the hospital,¡± Kisa said firmly. Gilbert looked at her face and found out that she did look like she was fine, so he stopped forcing her to go to the hospital. Then, he said in a deep voice, ¡°You¡¯re not drinking!¡± ¡°Why is that?¡± Felicity said in a resigned tone before Kisa could speak, ¡°There are so many top-notch C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org wines here tonight. It¡¯d be a shame if Kisa didn¡¯t get to taste any of them.¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Kisa added softly. Gilbert frowned and said to Felicity, ¡°Speak for yourself.¡± After that, he looked at Kisa coldly, ¡°You¡¯d better listen to me!¡± Felicity lifted the edge of her mouth. ¡°You¡¯re the bossiest person I¡¯ve ever met.¡± Kisa stopped arguing with Gilbert as she was not nning to drink anyway. She had something more important to do, after all. Lea, who was standing at the side, looked at Kisa enviously. Then, she smiled listlessly as she silently walked to an empty corner. ¡®It seems like all of them love Kisa very much. That¡¯s great. Kisa can finally be happy after all the things she¡¯s gone through.¡¯ But after Lea took a few steps, Kisa quickly went after her. ¡°Lea, where are you going?¡± Kisa asked. ¡°I¡­ I want to be alone for a while,¡± Lea replied softly. Her face was beaten up badly, and she looked dejected. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1230 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1230 Chapter 1230 The Figure That Disappeared Kisa felt very bad for Lea as she said in a low voice. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to bring you to the hospital.¡± Lea shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just some bumps and bruises.¡± ¡°But your baby¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I kept my stomach protected just now and it feels just fine.¡± Kisa looked at her and felt terrible. ¡®She tried so hard to protect that man¡¯s child, yet he treated her like this.¡¯ Kisa took a deep breath. Then, she grabbed Lea¡¯s arm and said softly.¡± Let¡¯s go to the washroom to clean you up and put some ice on your face after that.¡± Kisa just could not leave Lea alone with her being like that. Lea looked down sadly without saying anything. Kisa sighed and said to Gilbert. ¡°I want to be alone with her for a while. You guys go have fun.¡± Gilbert stared at her deeply for a while before he nodded. ¡°Watch yourself.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kisa replied tly before she helped Lea to the backyard where it was less crowded. Gilbert stared at Kisa¡¯s back for a second. Then, he turned around and sat on a chair at the side. He leaned on the chair and pulled his cor. His handsome face looked exhausted. Davian came over and asked him softly, ¡°Mr. Kooper, are you not going to follow Mrs. Kooper? What if she¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Everybody here knows she belongs to me after what happened just now. No one¡¯s going to do anything to her.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Davian nodded. Then, he asked curiously, ¡°However, the Mullens have never gotten along well with you. What if they put her on the spot¡­¡± ¡°They would never do something so silly.¡± C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Gilbert shifted his gaze to Davian and spoke in a deep voice, ¡°It¡¯s Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday today and he invited all of us here. The Mullens aren¡¯t foolish enough to mess with my people on their own turf.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Davian responded, immediately realizing that the Mullens would be held responsible if anything happened to Kisa. Gilbert leaned on the chair and looked in the backyard¡¯s direction absentmindedly. Felicity thought that he was missing Kisa, so she said, ¡°You should¡¯ve followed her since you miss her so much.¡± Gilbert kept his silence and slowly shut his eyes. He almost got to that figure earlier, but it disappeared at the end of the backyard. He frowned slightly, and questions started popping into his head. ¡®Could that be Sara? If that was really her, why would she be here? I thought she hated the Mullens very much.¡¯ Davian noticed that the look on Gilbert¡¯s face did not look too good, so he stopped speaking. Felicity curled her lips and stopped talking to Gilbert too. Kisa wiped the dirt off Lea¡¯s face carefully with a damp handkerchief in the backyard toilet. Lea could manage to bottle up her feelings and not cry in front of everybody else just now. However, she burst into tears helplessly once she could finally be alone with Kisa. Kisa cleaned her face and helped her to sit on a wicker chair not far away from the washroom. The backyard was huge. It was almost like a mini garden. However, it was not very well decorated, and the food and beverages were all in the front yard, so the backyard was nearly empty. One or two waiters would sometimes pass by carrying a tray. Kisa stopped one of them and told him to get her some ice cubes. Then, she turned around and looked at Lea. Lea was still crying. Lea cried like her heart waspletely broken. The pain was excruciating yet she tried her best to hold it in. She sat closer to Lea and wrapped her arms around Lea and said, ¡°Just go ahead and cry. Everything will be better after this.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1231 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1231 Chapter 1231 He¡¯s Not the Right Person Lea shook her head. ¡°Nothing will be better. There¡¯s no way I can bear to have him out of my life or give up on this rtionship unless I die. Trust me. The only way I can let go of this rtionship is to die.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart sank. Then, she looked at Lea confusedly. ¡°Can¡¯t you see what¡¯s happening even though that man is already hurting you like this? Why are you still being so stubborn?¡± Lea looked back at Kisa through her misty eyes, ¡°You understand that being in a rtionship is not something you can control, no? Gilbert did so many things to hurt you back then, yet you still love. him the same, don¡¯t you?¡± Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Lea¡¯s words left Kisa speechless. Lea was right. Gilbert hurt and humiliated her in many ways back then, and he had even almost killed her several times. However, she still had feelings for him. They say is love is blind, after all. As a bystander, Kisa could advise Lea very calmly and rationally, but she was just as stubborn as Lea when faced with the same situation. Love was never something a person could control. Kisa patted Lea¡¯s shoulder lightly and said sadly, ¡°What are you nning to do now?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I just want to give birth to this baby safely.¡± ¡°Does he know about the existence of this baby?¡± Kisa asked in a deep tone. Lea shook her head. ¡°I can¡¯t tell him about this. He once said that I¡¯m not good enough to have his baby. So, I¡¯m sure that he¡¯ll make me abort this baby if he ever found out because both the baby and I are a disgrace to him.¡± ¡°But he¡¯s going to find out about it sooner orter. When your belly starts to show¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯ve got to hide somewhere and onlye back to him after I¡¯ve given birth to my baby¡¯ Kisa was once a mother too. She would have done anything to protect her baby just like how Lea did However, she had not been given the opportunity to do so. The pain of losing her child was so agonizing that it still hurt whenever she thought about it Kisa pursed her lips and said to Lea, ¡°Just let me know if there¡¯s anything I can do to help Lea looked at her with guilt betrayed you once. Why are you still treating me so well?* ¡°Even though you betrayed me, you still saved me during the lowest point of my life. That¡¯s why I¡¯m helping you. Just consider it as me returning the favor¡± Lea pursed her lips as tears streamed down her face. ¡°Don¡¯t you think that I¡¯m cheap? Anthony is treating me so badly, yet I¡¯m still so in love with him.¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with falling in love. You just did it with the wrong person.¡± ¡°I shouldn¡¯t havee to this banquet.¡± Lea looked at her evening dress sarcastically. ¡°To be honest, I felt very happy when he told me he was going to bring me here. I thought that he was finally going to ept me and bring me to his family when I saw the shoes and dress that he got for me,¡± she continued. ¡°It turns out I was just indulging myself in my own fantasy. He looked down on me, and there¡¯s just nothing I can do to change that,¡± Lea said as she lifted her head and took a deep breath, trying to hold her tears back. Then, sheughed at herself I understand now that I don¡¯t belong in this circle. I¡¯m only going to embarrass myself by trying so hard to fit in.¡± ¡°But you still couldn¡¯t let go of him even though you feel this way, huh?¡± Kisa could rte to her pitiful situation as she said that. Lea choked and said, ¡°I wish that he was just an ordinary person and not someone who came from such aplicated family. I¡­ As Lea was still talking, a slender figure suddenly approached them. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1232 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1232 Chapter 1232 I¡¯ll Kill You if You Don¡¯t Stop Lea¡¯s facial expression immediately changed, and she looked mournful and indescribably inferior She quickly bowed her head down as if she was afraid that the person would see how ugly and messy she looked. Kisa turned her head and saw that person walking toward them was Anthony She did not understand why he came here. ¡®Does he think that he hasn¡¯t hurt Lea enough? Anthony came in front of them very and Kisa stood in front of him subconsciously ¡°What are you. going to do to her?¡± Anthony looked at her coldly. ¡°This is between me and her It has nothing to do with you. Get lost!¡± Kisa was so mad, that sheughed I guess you probably forgot who kept quiet just now when Lea was getting mistreated. I¡¯m afraid that the shrew would beat her to death if I didn¡¯t interfere!¡± ¡°So what?¡± Anthony sneered. Lea grabbed the edge of Kisa¡¯s clothes. ¡°Kisa, forget it. It¡¯s not his fault.¡± ¡°Lea¡­¡± Kisa looked at her helplessly Kisa felt very uneasy looking at how inferior Lea acted. The man would never appreciate what Lea was doing, nor he would think that her actions were considerate. Instead, he would only look down on her even more. ¡°I told you that this has nothing to do with you. You¡¯d better get out of my face now!¡± Anthony grunted and raised his hand to push Kisa away. Kisa quickly took two steps back and held her hand against a small round table behind her. Otherwise, she would have fallen to the ground. Lea immediately stood up and protected Kisa as she said to Anthony, ¡°Don¡¯t be mad. Don¡¯t hurt Kisa¡­ She isn¡¯t trying to be nosy. She¡¯s just worried about me.¡± Anthony felt very irritated as he looked at Lea¡¯s swollen and bruised face before his eyes. He was wrong. He should have never brought her to this banquet. Anthony grabbed Lea¡¯s arm angrily and scoffed at her. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to hide in the corner before we came here? Why didn¡¯t you listen to me? Why do you have to strut around? Do you know that you almost turned me and my mom into aughingstock in front of everybody?¡± Lea looked at him dejectedly as her heart shattered into a million pieces She realized that Anthony had onlye here to me her. He had not been worried about her at all. Indeed, Lea was worse than a pile of dirt to him. There was just no way that he would ever be worried about her Lea looked down sorrowfully I didn¡¯t want to show myself Ms. Reyes was the one who came at me and hit me. She used me of stealing her ne. I tried to run away from her, but she pinned me down on the floor and stomped on me. I didn¡¯t mean to expose myself on purpose ¡°You should put the me on Ms. Reyes instead of Lea.¡± Kisa stood up for Lea. ¡°Also, why did you bring her here if you think that she¡¯d embarrass you? After all, she¡¯s done nothing wrong! Who are you to scold her like this?!¡± ¡°Shut your mouth!¡± Anthony glowered at Kisa and shouted. Lea shivered and shook her head at Kisa, signaling her to stop triggering Anthony. Anthony was an unpredictable man who would do the cruelest things anyone could imagine Lea did not care what he would to do her, but she told herself she was never going to let Kisa get hurt on her behalf ever again. Ultimately, Kisa gave in and stopped confronting Anthony after looking at the desperate look on Lea¡¯s face. She pursed her lips, stood aside, and kept quiet. Anthony stopped talking too and took Lea away. Kisa got anxious and followed them. ¡°Where are you taking her?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll kill you if you don¡¯t stop following me!¡± Anthony turned around and threatened her aggressively. Lea quickly shook her head, gesturing to Kisa that she was fine. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Kisa froze in ce and helplessly watched Anthony drag Lea away from her. She took a few steps back and sat on the chair, feeling awful. Lea fell in love with Anthony so hard, that she lost herself. At that point, Kisa was in no ce to interfere with their rtionship anymore. After all, Lea had made her own choice. She leaned back and sighed. Suddenly, a rather familiar figure appeared before her eyes. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1233 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1233 Chapter 1233 The Woman In the Wheelchair Kisa immediately stood up and looked in that figure¡¯s direction. There were not many people in the backyard, and the lights were dim. Kisa could see several cobblestone paths not far away from her and they all led to the other side. of the yard. There were some rockeries and a stone pavilion there Kisa looked closely and found out there seemed to be a few low cabins around the pavilion. The figure was walking on one of the cobblestone paths. Kisa stared at the figure for a while before she could confirm that it was the young man whom she had bumped into on the ne. She was worried about not being able to meet him again, yet he appeared in front of her unexpectedly She thought about the crystal pendant, and her eyes sparkled Then, she stood up and followed. that young man. It was a quiet night. The moonlight shone on the cobblestone path. Kisa dared not to get too close to him, and she kept a rather long distance between them. Fortunately, the backyard was kind of empty, and she could still see where the young man was going despite being far away from him. Kisa only hurried along after him after that young man went behind the rockery. ¡°Aunt, I came to visit you.¡± C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org A woman was sitting in a wheelchair behind the rockery. Her face was pale, and she looked like she was in her forties. However, her eyes looked very sharp. One could tell how charming she used to be in her younger day regardless of her current age. The woman was staring into nk space, looking mournful. A smile only appeared on her face when she heard Arthur¡¯s voice. I¡¯m back.¡± ¡°Hey. ¡°Arthur sat down opposite her and moved the food from the tray to the stone table. Then, he smiled at the woman, ¡°Aunt, it¡¯s grandpa¡¯s birthday today and there are so many people in the front yard. It¡¯s a shame that you prefer to be in a quieter ce.¡± The woman patted his head. I¡¯m d that you¡¯re having fun. I have trouble walking, so it¡¯s better for me to stay here alone.¡± Arthur looked at her legs and a gloomy expression appeared on his face. After that, he put on a smile and pushed the food on the table toward her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, aunt. Even though you can¡¯t join everyone in the front yard, I brought you a lot of delicious food. Have a taste.¡± ¡°Sure. Arthur, you¡¯re so nice.¡± The woman smiled. She grabbed one of the pastries and took a bite. Then, she said to Arthur in a way as if she was reproving him, ¡°Sigh. I told you to study at a university here, yet you insisted on going to Calthon. I can¡¯t even see you when I want to.¡± ¡°It¡¯s no big deal. I can alwayse back to visit you.¡± Arthur pulled up the nket on the woman¡¯sp for her with a bright and handsome smile/ Kisa stood in the dark and watched everything curiously. Who is that woman in the wheelchair? Arthur called her his aunt Could she be Mr Mullen Sr s daughter? However, nobody really talked about his daughter Kisa would have thought that Mr. Mullen Sr only had sons if it were not for what she had just seen with her own eyes. ¡°Aunt, why do you always like to stay in this backyard? Why don¡¯t I bring you out to have some fun now that I¡¯m back?¡± The woman shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s fine I like to be alone, and I don¡¯t feel like meeting other people. I¡¯m already very happy that you came to see me.¡± Kisa stared at the woman in the wheelchair curiously. Is this woman injured?¡± She just like there was some kind of decaying and deste energy surrounding that woman. Suddenly. Kisa felt chills running down her spine as she was still curiously observing that woman. She felt as if somebody was staring at her viciously, or as if someone was holding a sharp knife against her back A chill ran down her spine and her scalp tingled. Kisa heard somebody yelling as soon as she was about to turn around to have a look. ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡±¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1234 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1234 Chapter 1234 Na?ve Kisa was shocked Did that woman see me?

Kisa froze in the corner as she stared at the person stepping forward. ¡®Isn¡¯t that Adrien? This is weird. Why would he be here? ¡°W-Who are you? Why are you here?¡± Arthur looked at Adrien cautiously. Adrien had a warm smile on his face, as he usually did.

I didn¡¯t expect to see anyone here. May I know who you are?¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯re grandpa¡¯s friend.¡± Arthur immediately put his guard down in front of Adrien as he introduced himself and the woman to Adrien. ¡°My name is Arthur Mullen, and this is my aunt.¡± Kisa was speechless. This young man is so na?ve. He just believed everything Adrien said. ¡°How could he reveal their identities before he could find out if what Adrien said is true? Sigh! Kisa watched what was happening secretly She had a feeling that Adrien came here intentionally. Instead of just bumping into them as he imed, Kisa thought that it was nned. Adrien said to Arthur with a smile. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re Mr Mullen Sr¡¯s grandson and this is his daughter Nice to meet you!¡± ¡°Yeah. My aunt has difficulty moving, so she didn¡¯t go to the front yard. Then, Adrien shifted his gaze to that woman¡¯s legs. The lights were dim, so Kisa could not really see the look on Adrien¡¯s face. However, she had a feeling that he looked at her legs for quite some time. That woman clearly got mad after how long Adrien stared at her legs. ¡°Arthur, I need some time alone. Please take this stranger away from here.¡± ¡°1. * Arthur looked at the cold expression on his aunt¡¯s face and said apologetically to Adrien, ¡°My aunt doesn¡¯t like socializing with outsiders.

Your aunt and I have a mutual friend, and he has something to tell her¡± ¡°A mutual friend? What is your friend¡¯s name?¡± Arthur put his guard back up toward Adrien.

Instead, he hid in the spot where she had just taken cover Kisa rolled her eyes. She was thinking of taking a closer look at what Adrien was up to when he took her spot. It was as though Arthur had sensed her gaze, and he looked over at her Her expression changed, and this time, she hardly had any ce to hide. She waspletely exposed to Arthur¡¯s line of sight.

Kisa¡¯s heart sank, and she quickly peeked out from the fake rock to see what had happened. This is strange. Supposedly, Adrien couldn¡¯t do anything to Vivian since this is the Mullen residence But, why did Vivian scream so miserably? Kisa saw under the cold light Vivian was sitting in a wheelchair, covering her head in agony and sounding devastated. ¡°He was the one who got me into this mess.

My daughter has never acted like this,¡± Mrs. Kooper Sr asked Adrien as she hugged her daughter. Adrien kept a gentleman¡¯s smile, looking graceful. ¡°I didn¡¯t say much. I just saw that she wasn¡¯t in a good mood, so I gave her some words of encouragement, hoping that she would be brave to get up and enjoy her life.¡± Mr Mullen Sr nodded approvingly. However, Mrs. Mullen Sr. was not convinced. ¡°If that¡¯s really what you said, why would my Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. daughter end up like this? You must have said something irritating to her ¡°That¡¯s right, Miss Vivian is usually quiet. She has never yelled like that. It must be something you said,¡± Jane chimed in. Kisa looked closely at Adrien. Adrien smiled nonchntly and said, ¡°She probably mistook me for someone else.¡± I¡¯m not mistaken. You are him!¡± Vivian hissed again. Her voice wasced with hatred and a sense of unexined affection. Mrs. Mullen Sr hugged his daughter tightly and cried, ¡°Vivian, look carefully! He is not that man. He is not.¡± ¡°Yeah, Vivian. He is Mr Tanner, a good friend of mine. He is not that ¡°sshole.¡± ¡°He is. I couldn¡¯t have been mistaken. Dad, Mom, I couldn¡¯t have been mistaken. He really is that man.¡± Vivian broke down and cried. ¡°I can recognize him even if he turned into ashes. Not to mention that he just changed his face. Why did youe to see me? Do you want to see how miserable I am? How can you be so cruel? How can you- ¡°Vivian! Vivian!¡± Vivian passed out suddenly while yelling at Adrien. Mrs. Mullen Sr called out to Jane in a panic. ¡°Call a doctor, call a doctor!¡± Several bodyguards hurriedly carried Vivian back into the vi. Mrs. Mullen Sr followed anxiously with the help of Jane and Arthur, leaving only Mr. Mullen Sr. and Adrien at the scene. Tm sorry for all this.¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. remained polite to Adrien. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I have heard about Miss Mullen¡¯s beauty back then, but now she is sitting in a wheelchair, looking dejected. I feel sorry for her. That was why I couldn¡¯t help but say a few words of encouragement to her I didn¡¯t expect that she would mistake me for someone else. ¡°s!¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. sighed as he clutched his walking stick. ¡°It¡¯s really unfortunate She is my precious only daughter. I love her so much that I¡¯m willing to give her anything. I didn¡¯t expect that a scum would ruin her life.¡± ¡°Oh? A scum?¡± Adrien asked in puzzlement, ¡°Who is that man? Miss Mullen is such a beautiful woman. How can that man bear to hurt her? Besides, the Mullen family is so powerful. How dare he- ¡°Heh!¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. snorted at once. The tone of his voice carried a strong sense of hatred and ruthlessness. ¡°He is from the Kooper family. So, do you still think he wouldn¡¯t dare?¡± Kisa was shocked. ¡®Someone from the Kooper family? Is Mr Mullen Sr. saying that the person who hurt Miss Mullen was a member of the Kooper family? Could it be David? Recalling that David had lived with the Mullen family for a while, and judging by Mrs. Mullen Sr¡¯s hatred when she mentioned David, Kisa was almost certain that it was David they were talking about. What does David really want? How many women has he failed? My mother, Jensen¡¯s mother, and Miss Mullen-all of them loved David so much. But, who did he ever love? While she was deep in thought, Mr Mullen Sr and Adrien were alreadying in her direction Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1238 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1238 Chapter 1238 Pregnant with Your Baby? Kisa panicked and hurriedly backed up to the other side of the fake rock ¡°Back then, the Kooper family¡¯s eldest son seemed sincere in dating my daughter I really thought that he really loved her, and I even thought that he would be my son-inw. I didn¡¯t expect him to be so heartless. If he Hadn¡¯t been like that, I wouldn¡¯t have resented the Kooper family.¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t really know any better ¡°And then, there is Gilbert. How dare he steal my woman when I didn¡¯t even go after him for what his uncle did back then?¡± The two of them were talking as they walked toward the front yard. Watching them disappear into the distance, Kisa breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the fake rock with perturbation. It looks like David has acquired arge amount of wealth from the Mullen family by unscrupulous means. But, why has this matter not been reported? Is it because of Miss Mullen? The Mullen family covered up the matter because they wanted to protect Miss Mullen¡¯s reputation? While she was thinking of that, she felt a chilling sensation running up her spine again as if someone was staring at her sinisterly. There was no one around, and the backyard looked a little creepy in the cold moonlight She shivered involuntarily. As she was getting a little freaked out. soft footsteps came from behind her. She was so nervous that she had goosebumps all over her skin. As the footsteps approached closer from behind, she picked up a stone, turned around, and threw the stone ¡°Ouch!¡± Kisa froze as she heard a familiar soft cry. She took a few steps forward, took a closer look, and found that it was Gilbert. He covered his forehead with his hand and looked at her sternly. ¡°Are you crazy? Why did you hit me with a rock?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know it was you. Why were you so sneaky when you could have juste over openly?¡± she said ¡°I was sneaky?¡± Gilbert was exasperated. ¡°I was worried about you and came to check on you when you haven¡¯t gone back to the party in the front yard. I only walked a few steps toward you when you suddenly threw a rock at me. In the moonlight, Kisa saw a bump on his forehead. He must be in a lot of pain, she thought. Kisa pursed her lips and brought him toward the vi. As she went, she could not help but look back at the backyard again. That cold and eerie feeling was too difficult to miss. After all, she had felt it twice. She had a vague feeling that there was someone else in the backyard, and that person was quite hostile to her. However, she was not familiar with the Mullen family members, so she wondered who could be staring at her with such sinister eyes. Coming to a quiet corner, Kisa sat Gilbert down on a rattan chair ¡°Wait here. I¡¯ll go get you some ice.¡± ¡°Come back.¡± He drew her into his arms just as she was about to go. He made her sit on hisp and put his hands around her waist, as he glowered at her ¡°Why did you go to such a secluded spot alone? What if something happened?¡± He said, as his shapely fingers grazed her belly. Kisa was amused. ¡°This is the Mullen residence, and there are so many people in the front yard. What could possibly happen?¡± ¡°Does your tummy still hurt?¡± Gilbert¡¯s eyes fell on her abdomen again.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Kisa frowned gently. ¡°Why do you seem so concerned about my belly? Is it because I¡¯m pregnant with your baby?¡± she asked jokingly. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1239 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1239 Chapter 1239 Just His Imagination Gilbert did not respond. He just stared at her sullenly. Seeing his grave expression, the smile on Kisa¡¯s face stiffened. ¡°No¡­ No way,¡± she said in astonishment. There was no trace of the joy of being pregnant on her face. There was only disbelief and the look. of not knowing what to do. Gilbert lowered his eyes to mask his disappointment. ¡®So, she really. doesn¡¯t want to have my baby,¡¯ he thought to himself. When he looked up at her again, there was an added touch of distantness in his eyes. He pushed Kisa off his body and faintly said, ¡°Stop thinking too much. Your body is your own, and don¡¯t you have any idea whether you are pregnant. or not?¡± Kisa froze for a second before sitting down across from him. ¡°You know, usually there are obvious signs of pregnancy, but I didn¡¯t have any. Besides, I fell a few times before and I was fine. So, I¡¯m sure I¡¯m not pregnant, but¡­¡± Kisa looked at him across the table in puzzlement and said, ¡°Then, why are you always so concerned about my belly?¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one who always says that your belly hurts. If you didn¡¯t say your belly hurts, do you think I would be concerned about it?¡± He sounded cold. Kisa pursed her lips, feeling that there was some truth in what he said. It was true that he was only concerned about her belly every time she said her belly hurt. She nced up at his stony face and asked in a whisper, ¡°Is that bump on your forehead okay? How about I apply some ointment for you?¡± ¡°No need to.¡± Gilbert did not look at her. Instead, he just nced at somewhere in the backyard, where he lost track of the person he was following just now. When he looked at the spot now, there was already no trace of her. It seemed as though it was just his imagination. Kisa followed his line of sight. ¡°The back of the person at the party earlier looked like Sara¡¯s. I guess you saw it too, right? Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have been so eager to go after her.¡± Gilbert looked back at her, and the tone of his voice became even colder. ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± ¡°I just wanted to ask you-is that Sara?¡± Gilbert said nothing, looking not too happy. Kisa smiled and lowered her eyes. ¡°Judging from your expression, I think that person is either not Sara, or you didn¡¯t manage to catch up with her. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have looked so disappointed.¡± ¡°You think I¡¯m disappointed?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you? You¡¯ve been dreaming of finding her. And, now that you have finally caught a glimpse of someone who looks like her, but it¡¯s not her, aren¡¯t you disappointed?¡± His face suddenly turned grim upon hearing that. Kisa was still looking at him with a smile on her face, as she thought to herself, ¡®Am I wrong? I said nothing wrong. He is eager to find Sara, and since that¡¯s the case, he should have just admitted it. Why act as if I was wrong about him?¡¯ C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org ¡°Oh, there you are.¡± Just as the two were at a loggerhead, Felicity brought Davian over. ¡°This is a nice ce for a secret rendezvous, huh?¡± Felicity sat down beside Kisa. Davian first looked at Gilbert¡¯s face and then sat down on the other side. He instantly noticed the bump on Gilbert¡¯s forehead. ¡°Mr. Kooper, what happened to your forehead?¡± he asked in a whisper. Felicity giggled instantly when she saw the bump on Gilbert¡¯s forehead. ¡°Mr. Kooper, who is so darned daring to knock a bump on your forehead?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1240 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1240 Chapter 1240 He Lost His Unrequited Love Gilbert¡¯s face was a little sullen. ¡°So, you like tough a lot, don¡¯t you? Do you believe that I can make you dreadughing from now on?¡± Felicity nced at Davian and wisely kept quiet. But, in her mind, she was exasperated because of Gilbert¡¯s perverted behavior of not even allowing her tough. She looked at Kisa and said, ¡°Did something happen? I feel like your man is in a terrible mood.¡± ¡°He lost his unrequited love, so he is in a bad mood now.¡± Upon hearing Kisa say that, Gilbert¡¯s eyes turned cold. He red at Kisa, who met his baleful gaze squarely. Then, she said, ¡°Am I wrong to say that Sara is your unrequited love?¡± Felicity looked cautiously at the two. She had just heard about Sara from Davian. ¡®Gilbert says he is committed to his wife, yet he has another woman in his heart. As she thought to herself, a trace of contempt shed across her eyes. She felt lucky to have Davian. He might be a numbskull, but at least, he is faithful,¡¯ she thought to herself again. ¡°Well, Mrs. Kooper. Miss Mitchell is history. Mr. Kooper has almost forgotten her. So, let¡¯s not mention her again, okay?¡± Davian intervened upon sensing the increasingly tense atmosphere. Felicity nodded her head in agreement. ¡°Absolutely. We all have to move on. There is no point in rehashing the past.¡± Kisa looked at Davian with a faint smile. ¡°There was a person who looked like Sara at the party. I think you need to check it out. Don¡¯t let your boss miss out on his unrequited love.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Gilbert mmed the table, and his expression was hideous. ¡°Do you really want to be like that?¡± Kisa still kept a faint smile. ¡°Then, let me ask you this-did I say something wrong?¡± Gilbert red at her with so much anger that he involuntarily clenched his hands at his sides. Would you believe me if I said that Sara is not my unrequited love and that I have nothing to do. with her?¡± Kisa snickered. Of course, she did not believe him. ¡®Back in the day, Gilbert would have killed me with just one word from Sara. Whenever Sara shed a tear, he would indiscriminately go after me. When we got married, he imed that I had stolen everything that originally belonged to Sara. And now, he has the nerve to tell me that there is nothing between him and Sara. He is full of lies! He is so full of lies! I¡¯d be a pig if I ever believed him again!¡¯ Gilbertughed at himself when he saw Kisa snicker. ¡®She just doesn¡¯t believe me. No matter what I say, she just doesn¡¯t believe me.¡¯ After so many times, he was reluctant to speak because it was self- defeating. The atmosphere was getting more and more dreary, and Felicity could longer stand it. ¡°Come on, you guys, don¡¯t be like this. Wasn¡¯t everything fine during the day?¡± She looked at Kisa. ¡°Actually, Mr. Kooper is really concerned about you. When you and your friend were bullied just now, he was so mad that he wanted to kill those guys.¡± Kisa nced at Gilbert and still did not believe him. Felicity asked her again, ¡°By the way, Kisa. Why didn¡¯t you say you were Gilbert¡¯s wife when those guys were bullying you? That way, they wouldn¡¯t dare to bully you.¡± ¡®Because I don¡¯t want to bask in the reflected glory of Gilbert, Kisa said in her mind. Gilbert then said, ¡°Because she never really treated me as her husband.¡± Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Then, have you ever truly treated me as your wife?¡± Seeing that the argument between the two was getting more and more heated, Felicity kicked herself for talking too much. ¡®I better not say anything again. No matter what I say, they will still get into a fight.¡¯ Just then, Kisa¡¯s eyes lit up as someone suddenly emerged from the Mullen residence. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1241 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1241 Chapter 1241 Love at First Sight ¡®Isn¡¯t that Arthur? I have been looking for him.¡¯ Kisa felt that she would know more about David at the Mullen residence. So, she wanted to stay there no matter what. In the meantime, Arthur also seemed to be looking for her. When he saw Kisa, he ran toward her, and Kisa got up to meet him. Gilbert frowned, wondering why Kisa¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw the guy. ¡®Does she have a crush on that guy?¡¯ With a sulky thought in mind, he looked straight at Kisa with a pair of fiery eyes. Felicity also nced at the guy and was surprised. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that the handsome guy who Kisa chased after at the airport yesterday?¡± Gilbert¡¯s face sank even further. ¡°Kisa chased after him?¡± ¡°Ahh, yeah, yeah.¡± Felicity froze, wondering if she had said something wrong. Gilbert was so angry that heughed. ¡°How?¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Felicity subconsciously nced at Davian, hesitating to say anything. But, Davian was staring at her with a curious look on his face. Felicity felt like she wanted to roll her eyes at the gossipy, big man. ¡°Tell me, how did she chase after him?¡± Gilbert asked absently, but his eyes were ncing coldly at Kisa. Felicity pursed her lips and then said, ¡°She was just running after him. But, don¡¯t misunderstand. Look at that handsome guy; he looks so young, and maybe he¡¯s just a college student. Kisa won¡¯t like him.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mature women like you like handsome college students?¡± Davian made an ill-timedment with a slightly jealous tone. Felicity felt like she wanted to p him to death. ¡°I think it¡¯s the other way around. Old men like you like innocent schoolgirls, don¡¯t you?¡± Davian was upset. ¡°Mr. Kooper and I aren¡¯t old. We are in our prime, okay?¡± ¡°Compared to young guys, you two are old.¡± ¡°What are they talking about? They look so happy.¡± Gilbert suddenly asked grimly, just as Felicity and Davian were arguing. Felicity subconsciously turned and saw that Kisa and the handsome guy were chatting under the eaves by the side door of the vi. There was a distance from there, so they could not really hear what the two were saying. ¡°When did she know a guy like that?¡± Gilbert¡¯s face was grim. ¡°I think they met on the ne. They should- ¡°Just one time on the ne, and they are already this close? Since when did Kisa start having love at first sight?¡± ¡°Ummm¡­¡± Felicity kept her mouth shut and decided that it was better not to say anything at all. The way Gilbert thinks is just too scary. It¡¯s obvious that there¡¯s nothing going on between Kisa and that handsome guy, but he insists on saying otherwise.¡± Under the eaves, Arthur said to Kisa with a smile on his face, ¡°I came home that day and realized that my crystal pendant was missing. I searched high and low, and I couldn¡¯t find it. It turns out, you found it.¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah.¡± Kisa nodded with a smile. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org ¡°Can you give it back to me? The pendant is very important to me,¡± Arthur added. ¡°Definitely. But, can you promise me one condition?¡± ¡°Sure, I will pay whatever amount of money you ask for.¡± Seeing the young man¡¯s generosity, Kisa could not help but giggle and shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want money. I just want to stay at your house for a few days.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1242 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1242 Chapter 1242 A Token of Love ¡°Staying at my house?¡± Arthur furrowed his brow in puzzlement. ¡°What? Can¡¯t I?¡± Kisa said and looked up at the vi in front of her. ¡°You see howrge your house is? There shouldn¡¯t be any problem with me staying here, right?¡± ¡°Yeah, no problem. Just that, why do you want to stay at my house? Wouldn¡¯t it be more rxing to stay in a hotel?¡± Arthur wondered. Kisa suddenly sighed. ¡°I came all the way here to congratte your grandfather on his birthday=¡± Arthur suddenly interrupted her. ¡°So, you really are that celebrity on TV? Otherwise, my grandfather wouldn¡¯t have invited you. ¡°Can you hear me out first?¡± Kisa wrinkled her nose in displeasure. Arthur pouted, feeling that she was full of lies. ¡°I came alone to congratte your grandfather on his birthday, and I wanted to spend a few days in Athadale. But, as you know, it¡¯s dangerous for a woman to be out alone, so I don¡¯t feel like staying in a hotel.¡± ¡°Then, why don¡¯t you bring your assistant and bodyguard with you?¡± ¡°How else am I going to have fun on this trip if I take them with me?¡± Arthur was still a little skeptical of what she said. He nced over at Gilbert and asked her, ¡°Aren¡¯t those your friends?¡± ¡°No, they¡¯re not. I have only talked to them today, and I don¡¯t know them.¡± Kisa lied through her teeth. ¡°So, can you let me stay at your house for a few days? I am really scared of staying in a hotel alone.¡± Arthur stared at her suspiciously. Finally, Kisa had to take out the crystal pendant. ¡°This is a picture of you and your girlfriend, isn¡¯t it? What a nice couple.¡± ¡°Give it back.¡± Arthur reached out and tried to snatch the pendant from her. Kisa quickly pulled back her hand and smiled at him. ¡°If you let me stay at your house, I will return this pendant to you immediately.¡± When she saw that Arthur still had hesitation, she added. ¡°At least I helped you recover the pendant, so you should return the favor. It¡¯s just a simple request. I just want to stay at your house for a few days. You can just treat me as a random person.¡± Arthur gritted his teeth and asked, ¡°So, how many days do you want to stay?¡± ¡°Well.. I¡¯m not sure. If it¡¯s fun, I¡¯ll stay for a few more days, and if it¡¯s not, maybe I will leave after just one night.¡± If she could get all the information about David at once, she would not stay in the Mullen residence for long. Arthur hesitated for a long while before he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Okay, then you can stay. I will ask the maid to arrange a room for you.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Kisa nodded happily. Arthur looked at the pendant in her hand. ¡°You can give me back my stuff now, can¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Well, here you go.¡± In the distance, Gilbert stared at them with cold eyes. ¡°Look. She is giving that guy a token of love.¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Felicity tried to exin. ¡°Maybe that thing belongs to the guy.¡± ¡°So, this guy gave her a token of love on the ne, and she took it.¡± Felicity choked. ¡°Mr. Kooper, don¡¯t you think you¡¯re being overly imaginative?¡± Gilbert grimaced, as he was exasperated. He suddenly looked over to Davian and asked, ¡°Is that guy handsome?¡± Davian was drinking a ss of juice when he heard Gilbert¡¯s question. He froze for a second and then took a serious nce at Arthur and said to Gilbert, ¡°Pretty handsome and sunny.¡± Gilbert took a breath, and his expression turned grave. ¡°And, how does he lookpared to me?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1243 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1243 Chapter 1243 You Really Can¡¯t Stand Being Alone, Huh? ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. You have a mature disposition, while that man has a sunny one. So, you two are different. Generally, girls like sunny dispositions.¡± Felicity could not help but give Davian a kick under the table. She wanted to hint at him to stop bbering. However, Davian was a blockhead. He asked her in confusion, ¡°Why did you kick me?¡± ¡°Nothing. I just wanted to remind you to hurry and finish your juice. You talk too much!¡± Felicity huffed. Davian nced at her glumly. ¡®This woman is so fierce!¡¯ he thought. Meanwhile, Gilbert had a tense expression while his chest heaved slightly. He was obviously suppressing his anger. Felicity smiled at him and said, ¡°Why did you ask Davian a question like that? With that aesthetic judgment of his, ugly women can be pretty, and pretty women are monsters. You should ask me instead.¡± Gilbert was morose and did not speak. Felicity continued, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. You¡¯re much more attractive than that pretty boy. Women generally like men like you.¡± Davian instantly frowned. ¡°Felicity, do you also like men like Mr. Kooper?¡± ¡°Well, of course,¡± she smiled and snorted at Davian. She continued, ¡°What kind of woman wouldn¡¯t like Mr. Kooper¡¯s ssiness and looks?¡± Davian pouted unhappily. Felicity smiled. She did not bother to exin the situation to Davian, the blockhead. Then, Kisa walked toward them while Arthur entered the house. Gilbert shot up and said to Kisa glumly, ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go!¡± Kisa shook her head subconsciously, ¡°You guys go ahead. I¡¯m not leaving.¡± Felicity asked perplexedly, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you going home? Judging from the time, the banquet¡¯s about to end soon, so there¡¯s not much to do. It¡¯s better for you to go home and sleep instead.¡± Kisa smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll be staying over at the Mullen¡¯s residence for the next few days, so I won¡¯t be leaving with you all. It¡¯s gettingte. You guys should get going.¡± ¡°What?¡± Felicity immediately widened her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re staying at the Mullen residence? Why? Is my ce no good? The Mullen residence is huge, but their family is veryplicated. Staying here would definitely not be asfortable as my ce.¡± ¡°Actually, I¡­¡± ¡°Do you like that man that much? So much that you¡¯re shamelessly staying at his ce?¡± Just as Kisa was about to speak, Gilbert growled at her lowly. Kisa was startled. She turned to him and was puzzled. ¡°What are you saying? What man?¡± ¡°Who else? The one who was talking and chatting with you just now, Mrs. Kooper,¡± Davian nced at Kisa and quietly said. Kisa blinked. A momentter, she turned to Gilbert with a speechless expression and said, ¡°You must be not right in the head. Do you know how old Arthur is? I reckon he¡¯s five or six years younger than me. He could be my younger brother. What were you thinking?¡± ¡°Then, why are you staying over at his house?¡± Davian asked in confusion. Meanwhile, Gilbert peered at Kisa intensely. He had a clouded look in his eyes as if she had actually cheated on him behind his back. Kisa met Gilbert¡¯s dark gaze and quietly said, ¡°I have some business at the Mullen¡¯s residence. Anyway, you guys don¡¯t have to mind me. Return to Calthon if you have to. Once I¡¯m done with my business, I¡¯ll go back myself.¡± ¡°Hah. Business?¡± Gilbert suddenly chuckled. However, he had an icy gaze. ¡°What kind of business could you have at the Mullen residence? Why are you always seducing others? You¡¯re even seducing a teenage student now? Kisa Becker, you really can¡¯t stand being alone, huh?¡± ¡°What¡­ What are you bbering on about?¡± Kisa was so furious that she became pale. Felicity, too, thought that his words sounded harsh. She could not help but say to Gilbert, ¡°Don¡¯t be like that. Let¡¯s check things out first!¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing to check,¡± Kisa said with an icy expression. Then, she sneered at the man with a dark expression, ¡°You¡¯re right. I can¡¯t stand being alone. He¡¯s younger, has a sunnier disposition, is more handsome, and is better than you. So, why can¡¯t I flirt. with him?!¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Just then, Arthur came running out of the house. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1244 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1244 Chapter 1244 You Don¡¯t Know Who Your Man Is? Arthur did not notice the odd atmosphere. When he ran up to Kisa, he finally noticed how odd the atmosphere was. It seemed as though there was a murderous feeling floating in the air. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Moreover, he kept having the feeling that someone was ring daggers at him. It sent shivers down his spine. He could not help but move closer to Kisa. Then, he whispered to her, ¡°I just told my parents and grandparents that one of my friends will be staying over for a few days, and they agreed. After this, you can stay over. I already got the servants to tidy up a room for you.¡± Kisa was happy to hear his words. She smiled and said, ¡°Thank you so much..¡± When G¨¹lbert saw the joyous expression on the woman¡¯s face, his dark eyes med with anger. ¡®I don¡¯t think this woman is staying at the Mullen residence for serious business. Moreover, there¡¯s someone dangerous like Anthony in the Mullen family. She has no reason to stay at the Mullen residence. The only exnation is that she¡¯s interested in this man. She staying over at the Mullen residence so that it¡¯ll be more convenient for her to constantly see this man,¡¯ he thought. At that thought, Gilbert tightened his fists by his side. His knuckles turned white from anger. Arthur felt the gaze behind him getting scarier and scarier. He could not help but turn around to take a nce. However, the single nce he took almost scared him to death. He saw three people standing behind him. All of them looked as vicious as the devil, and they were ring at him ruthlessly. The tallest and most handsome man who had dark eyes, in particr, looked as if he wanted to skin him alive. Arthur could not help but shudder in fear. He moved closer to Kisa again and asked, ¡°What¡¯s up with them? Didn¡¯t you say you don¡¯t know them? Why are they looking at me like that?¡± ¡°She doesn¡¯t know us?¡± Gilbert gritted his teeth and lowly growled, ¡°Kisa Becker, you don¡¯t know who the f*ck your man is?¡± Kisa chuckled awkwardly and did not respond. ¡®How annoying. Why isn¡¯t Gilbert leaving yet?¡¯ she thought. Arthur looked at Gilbert in shock. ¡°You¡¯re her man? Then¡­ Then, are you her husband or¡­ Or her lover?¡± ¡®Pfft!¡¯ Felicity thought. She wanted tough, but she held it in. Gilbert was furious. He walked to Kisa¡¯s side and hugged her shoulder. Then, he said to Arthur as if he was dering his ownership, ¡°Listen up, I¡¯m her husband.¡± ¡°Oh! So, you¡¯re her husband.¡± Arthur eximed in shock. Suddenly, his gaze toward Gilbert turned sympathetic. Davian and Felicity were stunned to see his change of expression. Gilbert frowned slightly and peered at Arthur¡¯s sympathetic gaze. ¡°Why? Do you know me?¡± he snorted. Arthur shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know you, but I know that your wife is always lying to you. When she was on a phone call with you on the ne, she lied to you without batting an eye¡­¡± Kisa darkened her expression after hearing Arthur¡¯s words. ¡®This brat.

She loves to lie,¡± Arthur chimed in. He continued angrily, ¡°Earlier, she said she doesn¡¯t know any of you. She also said she was afraid of staying in the hotel alone and asked me to let her stay for a few days. She even threatened me with my crystal pendant. I didn¡¯t expect you to be her husband.¡± Arthur then turned to Kisa and said, ¡°Well, it doesn¡¯t matter whatever happened between you two. Since you two are husband and wife, you should be honest with each other. Stop arguing with your husband, listen to him, and follow him home.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1245 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1245 Chapter 1245 Back Down Kisa was stunned. She blinked and asked, ¡°What do you mean? You¡¯re not going to let me stay at your house?¡± Arthur was amused. ¡°You have your husband, so why do you still want to stay at my house? By the way, stop lying to me next time. The trust between people is already fragile enough. If you keep lying, no one will believe you in the future.¡± ¡°No¡­ Didn¡¯t we agree to let me stay at your house? You can¡¯t go back on your word after getting back your crystal pendant?! No matter how I lied to you, I still did help you find that crystal pendant of yours, didn¡¯t I? Aren¡¯t you turning your back on someone who helped you?¡± Seeing Kisa¡¯s angered and panicked expression, Gilbert frowned slightly. ¡®She¡­ really looks like she wants to stay over at the Mullen residence. And, it doesn¡¯t seem to be because of Arthur Mullen. But, what¡¯s her motive behind staying at the Mullen residence? What is she trying to do? Why is she always hiding things from me?¡¯ he wondered. While Gilbert was in deep thought, Mr. Mullen Sr. and his eldest son Albert walked over with Adrien beside them. ¡°What are you doing over there, Arthur?¡± Albert shouted at Arthur. Arthur quickly turned around. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just chatting with my friend.¡± Mr. Mullen Sr., Albert, and Adrien had already walked over while Arthur was responding. Adrien threw a meaningful nce at Kisa and Gilbert. Then, he smiled at Arthur. ¡°Impressive, Arthur. You¡¯re already friends with Mr. Kooper from Calthon at such a young age. You will go far.¡± Albert quickly pulled Arthur aside. He knew that the Mullen family hated the Kooper family, so he did not want his son getting too close to them. When Albert pulled Arthur over, he cautiously nced at Mr. Mullen Sr. Mr. Mullen Sr. was not angry. He merely smiled at Arthur and said, ¡°Earlier, you said that your friend wants to stay over at the Mullen residence for a few days. Who is it?¡± ¡°This youngdy over here,¡± Arthur said and pointed at Kisa. Mr. Mullen Sr. instantly narrowed his eyes and stared at Kisa sharply. ¡°Hoho¡­ How rare. The wife of GK Pictures¡¯s CEO actually wants to stay at my shabby ce. Mrs. Kooper, I wonder if it¡¯s because you¡¯re interested in a secret in the Mullen family.¡± ¡°Ha-ha, you¡¯re too humble, Mr. Mullen Sr.¡± Before Kisa could respond, Gilbert spoke. ¡°It¡¯s well known that the Mullen residence is the biggest and mostvish vi in Athadale. Even your courtyard is as spectacr as a park. My wife is interested in your spectacr vi and your courtyard¡¯s beautiful scenery. That¡¯s why she wanted to stay over at your ce. However, Mr. Mullen Sr., if it bothers you, then pretend that my wife didn¡¯t bring up this request to your grandson.¡± C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Kisa gripped her palms and felt a little disappointed. ¡®How will I learn about David if I can¡¯t stay at the Mullen residence? I can¡¯t be too forceful since Mr. Mullen Sr. is here. Otherwise, I might expose myself,¡¯ she thought. After giving it some thought, Kisa decided to back down. She smiled at Mr. Mullen Sr. apologetically and said, ¡°Sorry, I was being too rash. I was so immersed in the beautiful scenery in your courtyard that I forgot that I was merely an outsider. It truly isn¡¯t appropriate for me to stay at your house.¡± Arthur peered at Kisa with a frown. He had a feeling that the woman was lying again. However, he did not expose her. Instead, he stood beside Albert in silence. Mr. Mullen Sr. touched the sparse stubble under his chin. He seemed rather approachable in a suit. However, his gaze was incredibly sharp. A nce was enough to tell that he was not someone to be trifled with. Mr. Mullen Sr. chuckled at Kisa. ¡°My shabby ce was lucky enough to catch Mrs. Kooper¡¯s eye. Since that¡¯s the case, you should stay over,¡± he said as he turned to Gilbert. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1246 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1246 Chapter 1246 Wake-up Call ¡°Will you also be staying at my ce, Mr. Kooper?¡± Gilbert immediately embraced Kisa into his arms. He chuckled, ¡°Naturally. Wherever my wife is, that¡¯s where I¡¯ll be.¡± ¡°Alright, then!¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. caressed the dragon¡¯s head on his walking stick. Then, heughed casually, ¡°My ce is huge and has lots of room, so you two can stay as long as you like. Coincidentally, Mr. Tanner will also be staying for a few days. You can all keep each otherpany.¡± Kisa turned to look at Adrien in reflex. ¡®It seems like Adrien and Mr. Mullen Sr. truly share an extraordinary rtionship,¡¯ she thought. As usual, Adrien met her gaze with a smile in his eyes. He looked gentle and amiable. Kisa watched him. Strangely, she did not find him genuine. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org ¡®I have a really bad impression of Adrien right now. I wonder if it¡¯s because he¡¯s with Carolyn,¡¯ she thought. Not only was the Mullen residence huge, but even their interior was incrediblyvish. Since Gilbert and Kisa were husband and wife, the servants prepared a room for them on the third floor. Meanwhile, Felicity and Davian left before the banquet ended. Kisa stood by the window on the third floor. Many were still in the front yard, and Mr. Mullen Sr. was among the guests. Gilbert sat on the sofa. After peering at her for a while, he asked, ¡°Why are you trying so hard to stay over at the Mullen residence? What are you trying to do?¡± Kisa subconsciously turned around when she suddenly heard his voice. She felt a little conflicted. She was not sure if she should tell him that she was investigating David. After all, her trust in this man was still insufficient, so she could not tell him about many of her thoughts. Kisa gave it some thought and smiled at him. ¡°Nothing. It¡¯s just like you said, this vi is spectacr, so I wanted to stay over and get a feel of it.¡± Gilbert gazed at her intensely. Momentster, his dark eyes gradually showed a hint of self- mockery. He lowered his gaze and flicked the cigarette between his fingers. ¡°If you¡¯re not willing to tell me, then so be it. After all, you¡¯ve never told me the truth.¡± Kisa opened her mouth and wanted to say something. However, she did not know what else she could say. She watched as the man on the couch pulled his tie in annoyance before getting up and walking outside. Kisa called out to him in reflex, ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°Downstairs for a walk.¡± The man said indifferently. Then, he walked out of the room. Kisa pursed her lips. For some reason, she felt that she had wronged the man a little. She shook her head. She dismissed the strange feeling in her heart and walked outside. Back then, Ms. Mullen got hurt by Adrien, so she must know best about David. I wonder how is Ms. Mullen right now, she thought. Kisa heard from the servants that Vivian usually stayed at the little cabin behind the backyard. However, she also had a room on the second floor of the vi. Practically everyone in the Mullen family was in the front yard talking to guests, so there were few servants in the huge vi. She asked around and learned that Vivian stayed in the room at the end of the second floor. Kisa walked toward the end of the second floor. Just as she got to the door of the room, she suddenly heard footstepsing from within. She felt her heart stop, and she instinctively hid in the pantry next door. When she cautiously stuck her head out, she saw Mrs. Mullen Sr. and the Mullen family¡¯s eldest son, Albert. They were walking out of Vivian¡¯s room. ¡°Mom, I think Vivian is still in love with that b*stard.¡± ¡°What can we do? Your sister was deeply in love with him back then. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have gotten hurt to this extent.¡± ¡°However, Mr. Tanner seems to be able to calm Vivian¡¯s emotional outbursts. Speaking of which, Mr. Tanner¡¯s physique resembles David¡¯s.¡± Kisa froze as if she had just gotten a wake-up call. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1247 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1247 Chapter 1247 He¡¯s Heartless and Ruthless ¡®Adrien and David have simr physiques? I have never seen David in person before, so I didn¡¯t know about this nor rte the two of them with each other,¡¯ Kisa thought. Kisa gripped the door frame tightly as she listened attentively to the conversation between Mrs. Mullen Sr. and Albert. Mrs. Mullen Sr. sighed, ¡°They do look simr, but he isn¡¯t that b*stard. Otherwise, I¡¯ll make him kneel before Vivian and atone for his sins.¡± ¡°Well, if Mr. Tanner can calm Vivian down, we could let him stay over for a little longer. Perhaps he might actually let Vivian open her heart. Lheard that Mr. Tanner still isn¡¯t married.¡± ¡°Forget it. Your sister got heartbroken once. I won¡¯t let her get into these things again. Regardless, your sister is currently emotionally unstable, so it won¡¯t hurt to let him calm her down.¡± The two gradually walked further away as they spoke. Kisa waited until they disappeared by the stairs before she walked out of the pantry. Vivian¡¯s door was partially shut. Since there was a small gap left, the voices of the people inside could clearly be heard outside ¡°David, why are you so ruthless to me?¡± ¡°Ms. Mullen, you really got the wrong person. I¡¯m not him.¡± ¡°You are. Your physique, expression, actions, and even your tone resemble his. I would never mistake it. You¡¯re him. Don¡¯t leave me, David. I¡¯m begging you¡­¡± Kisa leaned on the door and cautiously peered inside. She saw a warm yellow wallmp that was lit within the room. Its light was a dim type of warm yellow, and it was not particrly bright. David sat by the bed while Vivian was leaning against his chest. Vivian¡¯s gaunt face now showed a hint of paleness and sorrow. It was no longer contorted like it was earlier. She gripped Adrien¡¯s hand tightly as if she was worried that the person in front of her would suddenly disappear. ¡°David, I¡¯ll give you anything. You said you¡¯d marry me, but why did you lie to me in the end? Did you know? Our child, that poor child, died in my womb. There was so, so much blood. I wanted to save it, but I couldn¡¯t, David. Why did you leave me back then? If you hadn¡¯t left, the three of us would¡¯ve been so happy as a family. And that child, that child wouldn¡¯t have died! Why did you leave me? Why did you lie to me!¡± Vivian suddenly got emotional as she spoke. She covered her head and roared emotionally. Then, a sorrowful expression appeared on her pale face once more. Adrien suddenly hugged Vivian and said in a low voice, ¡°He didn¡¯t lie nor did he leave you. He just had something to do. He didn¡¯t lie to you on purpose.¡± ¡°No! He lied to me. He¡¯s heartless. He approached me because of my family¡¯s wealth. He¡¯s heartless and ruthless!¡± Vivian roared. Suddenly, she lifted her head and looked at Adrien. Then, she abruptly shoved him. Once again, she roared at Adrien with a sorrowful expression,¡± Who are you if you¡¯re not him? Get lost! You¡¯re not him! Get lost! Get lost!¡± Adrien stood up with an emotionless face. ¡°Get some rest, Ms. Mullen. I¡¯ll send the servants in.¡± C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Just as Adrien was about to leave, Vivian promptly grabbed his hand and hugged it tightly. Her cracked voice had a tinge of desperation, as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t go, David. I¡¯m begging you. Don¡¯t go. Don¡¯t leave me again¡­¡± Kisa frowned slightly. ¡®Ms. Mullen seems delirious. Her speech pattern is a little deranged,¡¯ she thought. Adrien consoled Vivian to lie down. He sat beside her and spoke to her. His voice was not exactly gentle and was almost a little emotionless. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1248 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1248 Chapter 1248 Internal Conflict Within The Mullen Family ¡°Take care of yourself. He¡¯ll be back the day you can stand up,¡± said Adrien. Kisa was not sure if he was purposefully saying such things to console Vivian or because he was actually David. Kisa currently felt incredibly suspicious of him. ¡®I need to reanalyze many things. I also need to reconsider the genuineness of the things Adrien told me before this,¡¯ she thought. Vivian looked at Adrien and asked, ¡°Will he reallye back?¡± ¡°Mhm. He¡¯ll be back when you can stand up. That¡¯s why you need to be brave, stand up, and live on.¡± Perhaps it was because Adrien¡¯s words had managed to console Vivian, as she slowly began to quiet down. Momentster, Vivian seemed to have fallen asleep. There was not a sound in the room. When Kisa saw Adrien walking toward her, she quickly moved away and hid back inside the pantry. Then, she cautiously stuck out her head and saw Adrien quietly and slowly shutting the door. From Kisa¡¯s direction, she could only see the side of his face. He did not have his usual gentle and amiable expression. Instead, he had a hint of iciness in his expression. Kisa looked at his silhouette in confusion. ¡°Is he really David Kooper? If he really is David, he should feel guilty for hurting Ms. Mullen. But, why did he look so cold just now? Besides, he clearly went out of his way to look for Ms. Mullen back in the backyard. He didn¡¯t unintentionally go to Ms. Mullen¡¯s room,¡¯ she thought. Kisa was confused. She found Adrien getting more and more mysterious. After the guests had left, it was the Mullen family¡¯s turn to wish Mr. Mullen Sr. a happy birthday. Kisa leaned against the railing and looked down at the living room. There were quite a number of people in the living room. She heard that Mr. Mullen Sr. had five sons. His eldest and second son were birthed by his first wife, Mrs. Mullen Sr. Meanwhile, his third and fourth sons were born illegitimately. Rumor had it that their mother was a beautiful student from a prestigious school. However, she was not a part of the Mullen family even until the day she died. Finally, his fifth son, Anthony, was birthed by Jane. Even though Jane used all means to join the Mullen family, she remained a nobody and lived as if she was a butler or servant. Other than Anthony, the other sons in the Mullen family had already gotten married and even had children. That was why there were quite a number of children when Kisa nced downstairs. ¡®I have to admit, Mr. Mullen Sr. is quite a lucky man. At this age, not only is he wealthy, but he also has children and grandchildren,¡¯ Kisa thought. Arthur was the eldest grandchild, so Mr. Mullen Sr. paid a lot of attention to him. When Kisa looked downstairs, she saw Arthur handing Mr. Mullen Sr. a gift. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org ¡°Grandpa, I wish you great luck and a long life. This is a scarf I made myself. You won¡¯t be cold. this winter when you wear it.¡± The two women beside him snickered. ¡®They must be the third and fourth son¡¯s wives,¡¯ Kisa thought. ¡°Arthur, you¡¯re a man, yet you know how to knit. You really put us elders to shame.¡± The first daughter-inw, Arthur¡¯s mother, moved her lips and wanted to say something. However, Arthur spoke first. ¡°So what? As long as one puts their heart into something, there¡¯s nothing one cannot learn. I was worried that grandpa would get cold, so I made this scarf overnight based on a video.¡± Just as the third and four daughters-inw wanted to say something, Mr. Mullen Sr. burst outughing. ¡°How thoughtful of you, Arthur. This is the best gift that I¡¯ve received tonight.¡± Then, he scanned the people around him. ¡°Look at yourselves. All of you only know how to fight among yourselves all day. Why don¡¯t you all learn from Arthur?¡± They mumbled in agreement, and they all had dissatisfied expressions on their faces. Suddenly, someone yelled out in shock. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1249 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1249 Chapter 1249 You Are What You Are ¡°Eh? Where¡¯s Anthony? I can¡¯t see him anywhere.¡± Carrie Wagner, the wife of Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s second son asked. Clearly, she brought Anthony¡¯s name up on purpose. Jane could tell that Carrie kept targeting Anthony at the banquet earlier. However, judging by his background, Anthony was the least favorable heir in the Mullen family. Jane just could not figure out why Carrier would be so afraid that Anthony would take the wealth. of the Mullen family away from her husband. After giving it some thought, Carrie said, ¡°Anthony¡­ went to send the guests home.¡± Lydia Hart, the wife of Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s third son chuckled. ¡°Each and every person here today are all high-profile individuals. I¡¯m sure that all of them have their own chauffeur. There¡¯s no need for him to do that.¡± ¡±? guess he probably went to have some fun with that cheap woman,¡± Carrie took the opportunity to say. ¡°What? Are you sure he left with that woman? Doesn¡¯t he know that it¡¯s dad¡¯s birthday today? Anthony hasn¡¯t even wished him happy birthday yet. This is outrageous.¡± Gloria Roth, the wife of Mr. Mullen¡¯s fourth son said. Mr. Mullen Sr¡¯s face darkened instantly as he cursed angrily. ¡°What a useless and ungrateful son he is!¡± Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. Jane¡¯s face turned pale as she immediately defended Anthony, ¡°Mr. Mullen Sr., Anthony would never do something like that. I¡¯m sure that he has something important to take care of, and that¡¯s why he didn¡¯te back.¡± ¡°Yeah, dad. Anthony has always taken your birthdays seriously. I guess he¡¯s just busy with work, so he couldn¡¯t be here on time.¡± Albert backed Anthony up. Suddenly, Kisa remembered it was Anthony who picked Arthur up from the airport that day. ¡®It seems like his eldest brother is the only person Anthony could get along with in his family. ¡®The other ones are all¡­¡¯ Kisa shook her head subconsciously. ¡®To outsiders it must seem great to be living in such a big family, but everyone is actually plotting against each other. In fact, it¡¯s exhausting.¡¯ Lea suddenly popped into her head. She could not even dare to imagine what would happen to Lea if she ever got to marry Anthony and became a part of the Mullen family. Kisa figured that Lea would probably be gobbled up by those scheming and mean wives of Anthony¡¯s brothers if Anthony would not protect her. After thinking about Lea, she could not help but remember what had happened at the banquet She felt worried for her. Kisa had no idea where Anthony brought her to. She wanted to give Lea a call, but she did not know if she would be in the right ce to do so. So after hesitating, she put her phone down anyway. In a room of the Century Grand Hotel, Anthony threw Lea on the carpet. He mounted Lea before she could get up. Lea felt a full aching in her stomach, but she dared not to say anything about it. So, she just looked at Anthony with her teary eyes. Her face was still swollen, and her hair was in a mess. Her expensive dress was dirty and stained, and they took all the elegance away from her, leaving her embarrassed. The man¡¯s eyes looked cruel and a little disdainful. ¡°I wanted to open your eyes, yet you almost turned me and my mom into aughingstock in front of everybody. Tell me, how should I punish you?¡± ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have brought me there.¡± Lea said dejectedly and her voice broke. However, it did not make the man take pity on her at all. Anthony got cranky suddenly. He grasped Lea¡¯s neck and grunted. ¡°Yeah. I should¡¯ve never done that. I¡¯m such a f*cking idiot. Why did I even bring a lowlife like you to a ce like that? ¡°You can never change who you truly are. It¡¯s useless for you to do so much just to fit in high society. ¡°You¡¯re just a worthless wretch that nobody cares about. You can never be a part of high society!¡± Anthony yelled, as his gaze pierced right through Lea. Lea was suffocating. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1250 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1250 Chapter 1250 You¡¯re Can¡¯t Leave Until I Say So At that moment, Lea did not feel like struggling anymore. She wanted Anthony to just choke her to death. However, she changed her mind after remembering the baby inside her.. She lifted her hand in pain and beat Anthony¡¯s arm. Her face was starting to turn purple because she could not breathe. Lea¡¯s felt like her heart sank to the bottom of freezing water when she saw the horrible look on that furious man¡¯s face. The man suddenly yelled and loosened his grip on Lea¡¯s neck when Lea thought that she was going to die in his hands. Lea immediately lie on the ground and started coughing violently while gasping for air. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org She coughed so hard, that her eyes became teary, and her stomach hurt. Anthony dragged her and threw her on the bed before she could even catch a break. She looked at the man, and Anthony was unbuttoning his shirt slowly. Lea was terrified and distressed as a flood of tears gushed down her cheeks. Then, she spoke in a brittle voice that sounded fearful and deary. At the same time, her voice had an unnoticeable hint of helplessness and hatred. ¡°You were the one who brought me there a wanted me to fit in. I just want to live a normal life. I-If it¡¯s possible, would me please let me go? ¡°Let me leave, and get out of here¡­¡± She should have never expected the man to ept her. They were from twopletely different worlds, and it was simply impossible for them to end well with each other. However, Anthony acted like he did not hear a single word Lea said. But he was clearly annoyed. He forcefully removed all the remaining buttons on his shirt after only four buttons were undone. He got on top of Lea and looked at her swollen, which looked so displeasing as he smiled coldly like a bloodthirsty devil, ¡°You¡¯ll never have the right to talk about leaving. You can only leave when I say so.¡± ¡°Why? You clearly hate me and look down on me. Why won¡¯t you just let me go¡­¡± Lea was about to have a breakdown. However, she had always been a timid person in front of him. and her voice sounded as if she was begging him lowly. ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re a lowlife and you¡¯ll never get to make your own decisions. You¡¯re just a toy to me and you can only be free again when I¡¯m done ying with you. Understand?¡± Lea¡¯s heart hurt so much, that she struggled to breathe. The psychical pain she was feeling seemed to not hurt so much anymore. She stared at the ceiling helplessly, and the dull ache in her belly made her feel scared and devastated. ¡®Will I¡­really be able keep this baby?¡¯ In the Mullen residence, Kisa fell asleep as soon as she got into bed because of how tired she was before Gilbert came back. She was so exhausted, that she could easily fall asleep on a bed that she was not used to. However, it was not a very good sleep. She had a strange dream. In her dream, she was in a huge garden. There were many nts around her, and the ce was surrounded by fog. She walked around aimlessly in the garden, and she had no idea where she was. It was a very beautiful garden, yet she was somehow scared. Kisa felt like she was shrouded by a chill and sinister air. A figure suddenly appeared in front of her as she was walking. It was a tall, slim, and well-shaped woman, who had her back on her. That woman¡¯s waist-length hair was dark and silky. She had a white gauze dress on, looking very dreamy and alluring. That figure looked otherworldly and ethereal as she was illuminated by the moonlight in the garden. Clearly, it was a sight to behold, yet Kisa felt fearful and scared instead. She was so scared, that her fear overpowered the curiosity she had for that woman. She took a few steps back subconsciously. Then, she turned around and ran away. The garden was huge, and she could not see the end of it. She had no idea where she was going. Suddenly¡­. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1251 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1251 Chapter 1251 Creepy Laugh Beside the Bed That figure appeared in front of Kisa again and stood in her way. She backed off in fear. Then, she turned around and found out that the figure had not moved at all. The chilly atmosphere gradually surrounded Kisa and her scalp tingled. She stared at the two figures that looked exactly the same anxiously and asked in a shaky voice,¡± W- Who are you?¡± Neither of the figures responded to her. Instead, they started to get closer. The figures approached her from both sides. An identical figure would appear in front of her no matter which direction she ran in. In the end, she was surrounded by several figures. The longer Kisa looked at those women¡¯s¡¯ long hair and unearthly appearances, the more creeped out she felt. She folded her arms tightly around her body nervously. She turned around and shook her head desperately, begging them, ¡°Don¡¯te near me. Who are you? Get away from me¡­¡± The figures seemed like spirits looking for revenge as they approached her slowly. Suddenly, all of them stopped about 1 foot away from her. There were six figures, and they formed a circle surrounding Kisa. Then, they turned around. All at once¡­. Kisa felt her legs weaken as she slumped to the ground. She shut her eyes tightly and screamed at the top of her lungs while holding her head. Suddenly, everything before her eyes disappeared. She had a feeling that she was awake, yet she just could not open her eyes. She could hear somebodyughing beside her bed. Theughter was very creepy, and it sounded like a woman¡¯s voice. She struggled to open her eyes, yet she felt like her eyelids were weighted down by something, and it was just impossible for her to do so. Then, she heard footsteps and the sound of the door being opened. Her chest felt awful as if there was something pressing against it. It was extremely suffocating. She tried to scream as hard as she could, but she just could not make a sound. She felt as if she was drowning, helpless and scared. Kisa struggled repeatedly. If she stopped moving, she would sink to the bottom and drown. However, she finally managed to wake up after some time, sweating profusely. It was alreadyte fall and cold outside, but she was all sweaty. She stared at the ceiling while drawing deep breaths. Kisa still could not get over the fear she had just experienced. She was having a hard time calming herself down. Suddenly, the door was pushed open. It was Gilbert. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Gilbert frowned and looked at her as a worried look faintly appeared on his face. Kisa kept her silence. She sat up and threw herself into his arms. The nightmare and the fear she felt while not being able to move as if something was pinning her down crept her out. She could only feel a little better while being in Gilbert¡¯s arms. Her hair was covered in sweat. Gilbert brushed her hair away and felt the sweat behind her neck. ¡®She probably had a nightmare.¡¯ He thought to himself. ¡®I wonder how scary it was. She¡¯s sweating all over.¡± Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. After a while, Kisa finally calmed down. She slowly backed away from the man as she looked at the sunlighting through the curtains.¡± What time is it?¡± She asked. Gilbert went to open the curtain and said to her, ¡°It¡¯s almost ten.¡± ¡°What?¡± Kisa was shocked. ¡®How long was I asleep?¡¯ She looked at the man¡¯s tidy outfit and shifted her gaze to the empty space beside her. ¡°D-Did you sleep in this roomst night?¡± She asked. Suddenly, Gilbert furrowed his brows and looked at her. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1252 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1252 Chapter 1252 I Can Only Feel Safe Around You ¡®Did this woman lose her memory or has she forgotten everything that happened since she¡¯s too tired?¡¯ Kisa was the one who had hugged him as if he was a bolster as soon as he came back and slept on the bedst night. Besides, she even opened her eyes drowsily and said, ¡°You¡¯re back. I don¡¯t have to be scared now.¡± However, Gilbert could not figure out why Kisa asked him such a question. ¡®Did she experience a ckout, or did she mistake me for somebody else? ¡®Ugh!¡¯ He suddenly felt angry at the thought. Gilbert pursed his lips and walked toward her. His face was stone-cold and his shirt was fully buttoned. It made him look harsh and indifferent. ¡°I came back around twost night and I woke up at seven this morning.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Kisa nodded. She could not help but shiver after reminding herself of that nightmare she just had. She would have nightmares asionally, but the one she just had was just too spine-chilling. Besides, she felt like something was pinning her down too. The suffocation and inability to move or make a sound felt a little too real. And that creepyughter did not sound fake either. Also, the sound of the door opening¡­ She looked at Gilbert, ¡°Did youe in just now?¡± Gilbert brought his brows together and shook his head. ¡°I went to read the newspaper in the backyard after I woke up because I didn¡¯t want to disturb you.¡± Kisa¡¯s hair stood on end instantly. ¡®Who was the person who came in andughed creepily beside the bed then?¡¯ ¡®This is scary. Something¡¯s not right with this house. I¡¯ve got to figure out what happened with David and get out of here as soon as possible.¡¯ She suddenly grabbed Gilbert¡¯s hand. She just woke up, so her voice sounded a little hoarse and feeble. She looked at the emotionless man in front of her. ¡°Would youe back earlier and sleep with me after today? Also, stop waking up so early.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Gilbert looked at her and said calmly and indifferently. Kisa exhaled and said, ¡°I¡¯m scared. This house is too scary, and it makes me have nightmares. I don¡¯t want to be alone.¡± The man looked at her coldly. ¡°You were the one who wanted to stay here alone so I wouldn¡¯t ruin your n, no? Now you¡¯ve finally realized you actually need my help, huh?¡± Kisa smiled awkwardly. ¡°What are you talking about? I¡¯ve always wanted to be with you. That¡¯s the only time I can feel safe.¡± The man lifted the edge of his mouth subconsciously, but he still sounded infuriated. ¡°Fine. Go take a shower now. Don¡¯t you know what time it is already? Aren¡¯t you hungry?¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± Kisa got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. There was sweat all over her body and it made her feel very sticky and ufortable. Gilbert smirked again when he looked at the bathroom door closing. It was not very obvious, but he was clearly in a good mood as his eyes looked very affectionate. He liked it when Kisa said that she would only feel safe around him. Whether Kisa was just trying to ingratiate him on purpose or just bbering, Kisa¡¯s words made him feel overjoyed. Kisa took a hot shower and she felt very rxed. She covered her body with a towel. Then, she went to the mirror, and she was about to brush her teeth. However, she was startled by what she saw in the mirror and screamed. The bathroom door burst open. Gilbert went over and asked in a worried voice. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± He hugged Kisa from behind and asked deeply. Kisa¡¯s body was tensed as she pointed at the mirror and said shakily, ¡°L-Look¡­ Look at what¡¯s on the mirror¡­¡±N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1253 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1253 Chapter 1253 Horrifying Words on the Mirror Gilbert looked at the mirror subconsciously and found out that there was a huge ¡°DIE¡± written in red on the mirror. At first nce, it looked like it had been written in blood. Kisa was so scared, that her face turned pale. She took off her clothes and went to take a shower as soon as she got inside just now and did not notice what was on the mirror at all. Her scalp tingled after she noticed it. ¡®Turns out I wasn¡¯t imagining things when I struggled and heard somebodyughing creepily beside me. ¡°It was real that somebody came into my room and wrote that on the mirror in the bathroom. ¡°Who is that person? What have I done to them? Why are they doing this?¡± Gilbert patted her back reassuringly and said in a low voice, ¡°Wait outside. I¡¯ll have a look at it.¡± Kisa nodded uneasily. Then, she turned around and left the bathroom. She had not yet gotten over the nightmare she just had, yet she saw the horrifying word in the mirror Her limbs felt cold from fear. She went back to the bed and covered herself with the nket as she could only feel safer that way After a while, Gilbert came out of the bathroom. He strode toward Kisa and held her in his arms. Then, he said in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I looked at it, and it was only lipstick. Somebody wrote that on the mirror with lipstick.¡± ¡°But who¡¯s that person? Kisa looked at him. Her face was filled with fear and anxiety. ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you this just now, but I heard a womanughing creepily beside the bed before you came in.¡± Gilbert immediately furrowed his brows. ¡°But I didn¡¯t see anybody at all when I came up.¡± Kisa grabbed his arm tightly as she thought of how she felt like somebody was staring at her. eerilyst night in the backyard. Her gaze darkened as she looked at Gilbert, ¡°Gilbert, I feel like there¡¯s a mysterious person hiding. in this house, and that person doesn¡¯t like me at all.¡± Gilbert squinted as his eyes turned cold. ¡°Who do you think that person is?¡± ¡­Sara Mitchell.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not possible. The man denied her assumption right away. ¡°Sara almost got defiled by Mr. Mullen Sr. back then. She hates and is afraid of the Mullen family. It¡¯s impossible for her to be hiding here.¡± Gilbert figured that Sara could be anywhere in this world, but never at the Mullen residence. Kisa looked down and stopped speaking after looking at Gilbert¡¯s cold and stern eyes. ¡®He¡¯d subconsciously defend that woman no matter what.¡±Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. Kisa¡¯s mood immediately became worse. She pulled her hand out from the man¡¯s huge palm and got up. Then, she said tly, ¡°It¡¯s just a guess. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Gilbert frowned. ¡°I wasn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°You should go downstairs now. I¡¯ll be with you after getting changed. Gilbert stood beside the bed without moving as an irritated look appeared on his face. ¡®Why did she be so cold suddenly? Did she misunderstand something again?¡± Kisa had no choice but to take her clothes and went into the bathroom after seeing how the man just stood there. She dared not to look in the mirror because the word was still there. So, she quickly got changed and went out of the bathroom. Gilbert was smoking by the window. He put his cigarette out and went to her as soon as he saw her coming out. ¡°I was just telling you what I thought objectively when I said that it was impossible for that person to be Sara. I wasn¡¯t defending her, okay?¡± Unexpectedly, Gilbert exined to her. However, Kisa did not buy it. She figured that he would not speak in such a worried tone if he was not trying to defend Sara. Also, she noticed how loving Gilbert¡¯s voice sounded when he said Sara¡¯s name. Kisa nodded despite what was going on in her head. ¡°Okay.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1254 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1254 Chapter 1254 Somebody¡¯s Taking Revenge Gilbert did not feel like exining himself any further after seeing Kisa¡¯s emotionless face. ¡®Whatever. I can¡¯t control what she thinks. It¡¯s not the first time she¡¯s acted like this anyway.¡± He did not wipe the word off the mirror because he wanted the Mullens to see it. All the Mullens gathered at the living during noontime. The sons of Mr. Mullen Sr. and their wives stood at different sides. Arthur and Jane stood behind Mr. and Mrs. Mullen Sr. All of their faces looked very serious, and the atmosphere felt extremely tense Carrie was the one who spoke first as she smiled at Kisa pretentiously. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, did you offend somebody recently, so they¡¯reing after you?¡± Gilbert sat on the sofa while hugging Kisa. He looked rxed as he spoke in a scornful manner, ¡°Are you saying that even though the Mullen residence is huge, the security system here is crappy? Any person could get in here in broad daylight, and I can¡¯t even imagine what would happen at night. I guess someone could be killed here and none of you wouldn¡¯t even notice.¡± The look on Carrie¡¯s face changed. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant, I¡­ ¡°That¡¯s enough. You¡¯d better keep your mouth shut when nobody asked you to speak!¡± Mrs. Mullen Sr. said angrily at Carrie as a disdainful look shed across her face. Carrie pursed her lips and shifted her gaze at her husband, who was standing opposite her She found out that her husband was just standing there with his head down. ¡®Hmph! Coward!¡¯ Mr Mullen Sr. kept his silence. Then, Mrs. Mullen Sr. smiled and said to Gilbert, ¡°I¡¯m sorry that you and Mrs. Kooper have to go. through this in my house. I assure you that my family will do everything we can to find out what happened.¡± ¡°Well, thank you for that. It¡¯s already very kind of you to let us stay here.¡± Kisa said courteously. Mrs. Mullen Sr.ughed. ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. My family is not just an ordinary family, after all. It¡¯s never a problem for us to provide you with a ce to stay. However, this is very strange. After all, nobody has ever dared to mess with us in our own home!¡± Kisa did not know if it was just a false impression, but she felt like Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s eyes sparkled when he heard what Mrs. Mullen Sr. said. However, it happened very fast. Mr. Mullen Sr. was still sitting there and smoking calmly when. Kisa tried to take a closer look at him. Mrs. Mullen Sr. looked at the people around her and said sternly, ¡°Step forward right now if you¡¯re the one who sneaked into Mr. and Mrs. Kooper¡¯s room to mess with them. You¡¯d better not beg for mercy when it¡¯s toote. ¡°If I find out who did this, I¡¯m going to kick you out of our family, no matter who you are!¡± However, none of them stepped forward despite how serious Mrs. Mullen Sr. sounded and looked. Kisa swept her nce across the people in the room and her gaze fell on Anthony. He stood at the sidezily with a loosed tie, looking impatient and gloomy. Anthony looked at Kisa as if he noticed that she was gazing at him. Annoyed, he said, ¡°What are you looking at? I wouldn¡¯t do such a harmless and ridiculous thing if I really wanted to mess with you. I wouldn¡¯t use lipstick, but¡­ human blood!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Mrs. Mullen Sr. shouted after Anthony said that. Jane¡¯s face turned pale as she immediately went over to grab Anthony¡¯s arm. ¡°What were you talking about? You¡¯re showing off at the wrong time. Just keep your mouth shut when if it has nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°Heh heh.. Jane, are you hiding something?¡± Carrie mocked Jane. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Then, Lydia added, ¡°Yeah, Jane. Why are you so worried? Besides, why would Mrs. Kooper look at Anthony if he didn¡¯t do it?¡± Gloria chimed in, ¡°I heard that Anthony made himself an enemy to Mrs. Kooper back at Calthon Anthony is so immature. He should¡¯ve never messed with our guests like that in our own home no matter how resentful he is. This is so embarrassing.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1255 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1255 Chapter 1255 A Prank ¡°No¡­ Don¡¯t say that. It¡¯s impossible for Anthony to do that. He just came back this morning, and how would he have the time to do it?¡± Kisa stared at Anthony. ¡®Is it true that he only came back this morning? I have no idea if spent the night with Lea. What did he do to her?¡¯ ¡°Heh heh. Jane, you should just stop defending him. I¡¯m sure Mrs. Kooper looked at him because she thinks that he¡¯s the one who did it.¡± Carrie smiled coldly. Lydia said, ¡°It¡¯s got to be him. After all, none of us have a problem with Mrs. Kooper. There¡¯s no reason for us to do that.¡± Kisa looked away from him and said tly, ¡°It¡¯s not him.¡± Everybody was shocked by what Kisa said. Anthony looked at her confusedly. Kisa did not say that because she was trying to get Anthony out of trouble, but she really thought that he wasn¡¯t the culprit. Anthony was a ruthless person, and he would never pull such a harmless prank on her if he had really wanted to hurt her. And it just could not be the other people in the family. There was just no reason for them to do so. Kisa still thought that Sara did it. However, Kisa did not want to bring her name up because of how Gilbert defended her and said that it was impossible that Sara did it. Also, Sara had never appeared in the house. So, she decided to let it slide unless she could prove that Sara did it. She looked at Mr. and Mrs. Mullen Sr and smiled faintly. ¡°Okay then. It¡¯d be best if you could find out who did this, but it¡¯s fine if you can¡¯t. I¡¯m so sorry for troubling you and your family.¡± ¡°Heh heh. Mrs. Kooper, you¡¯re too kind¡­¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. finally broke his silence and spoke. ¡°I guess it¡¯s probably just a prank by a naughty kid. I¡¯ll tell my sons to educate their kids better. I guarantee that nothing like this will happen again.¡± ¡°I think it was done by a kid too.¡± Adrien¡¯s voice spread across the room from the door. Kisa looked over subconsciously and saw Adrien leaning against the door with a cigarette between his fingers. He looked at Kisa and smiled as amiably as before, ¡°That¡¯s because I saw the same thing on my bathroom mirror too this morning. I didn¡¯t bring it up because I thought that it was just a harmless prank by some kids. ¡°Now that you mentioned it, I think one of the kids here doesn¡¯t like us outsiders being here, so they¡¯re just trying to scare us away by doing that.¡± After that, he looked at Mr. Mullen Sr. and smiled profoundly. ¡°Mr. Mullen Sr., am I right?¡± This is from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Hahaha! Absolutely. That¡¯s probably what happened.¡± Mr. Mullen Sr.ughed and looked at his sons. ¡°All of you should educate your kids and tell them not to do something like this ever again. This is embarrassing us.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± ¡°Yes, dad.¡± ¡°Okay, dad.¡± Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s sons responded unanimously. Kisa frowned as she thought that things were not that simple. Besides, she felt like something was going on between Adrien and Mr. Mullen Sr. judging by how they looked at each other. ¡°Okay, okay. That¡¯s it for now. All of you can go about your day now that we¡¯ve found out what happened.¡± Everybody in the living room walked away after hearing what Mr. Mullen Sr. said. Mr. Mullen Sr. stopped Anthony when he was about to go upstairs. ¡°I heard that you left with a cheap woman who sells alcoholst night, is that true?¡± Kisa was walking to the backyard, but she stopped subconsciously after hearing what Mr. Mullen. Sr. asked Anthony. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1256 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1256 Chapter 1256 I¡¯m Just ying With Her ¡°You spent the entire night yesterday outside because of that cheap woman. Didn¡¯t you remember that it was my birthday?¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. was clearly mad. Anthony bowed his head down. He stood there without saying anything. Jane quickly tried to defend him, ¡°You¡¯re misunderstanding him. He wasn¡¯t with any cheap woman at all last night. He had something important to take care of.¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. scoffed and ignored Jane as he stared at Anthony with his sharp eyes. Anthony clenched his fists tightly. Then, he looked at Mr. Mullen Sr. and said, ¡°Dad, why would I even want to be with a woman like that? I have no idea why all of you are so worried. I¡¯m just ying with her.¡± Kisa squinted angrily. I knew that Lea fell in love with the wrong man. ¡®However, Lea just can¡¯t leave this man no matter what. I don¡¯t even know what I can do anymore to convince that silly woman.¡± ¡°David, where are you?! David¡­¡± Kisa heard somebody yelling loudly from the yard when she was still thinking to herself. A figure staggered toward her and pounced on her before she could react. The look on Gilbert¡¯s face changed as he quickly grabbed Kisa¡¯s waist and moved her away. That person fell on the ground awkwardly with a walking cane beside her. Kisa looked closely and found out that it was Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s daughter, Vivian Mullen. ¡°Vivian!¡± Mrs. Mullen Sr. shouted as she walked toward Vivian with her walking cane. Vivian was still searching for David after she fell to the ground. ¡°David, I can walk now Where are you? David,e back¡­ David¡­¡± The maid who was standing at the back immediately went toward her and helped her back to the wheelchair However, Vivian was very agitated. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be in a wheelchair. I can stand on my own. I¡¯m not a cripple. I can stand¡­¡± She yelled. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org She tried to stand up by holding the wheelchair¡¯s handle as she spoke, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, she fell down again. Vivian tried to get herself up from the ground, but she just could not do it. It was just impossible for her to stand up even with the help of her walking cane. She broke down and wailed while swinging her walking cane. ¡°Why? David, would you pleasee back? David¡­¡± She screamed crazily. She was out of her mind. Gilbert held his arm around Kisa¡¯s waist, and he pulled her closer to him. He was worried that she would be hit by Vivian¡¯s cane. Mrs. Mullen Sr. choked with sobs as she told the bodyguards to pin Vivian down. Three bodyguards stepped forward. One of them took Vivian¡¯s cane from her and the other two put her back in her wheelchair Vivian sat defeatedly on the wheelchair like a corpse. ¡°I can¡¯t stand anymore, that¡¯s why¡­ he isn¡¯ting back.¡± She mumbled as tears welled up in her bloodshot eyes. Mr. Mullen Sr. got mad, and he gave Vivian a p. ¡°That rotten man is long dead! Why are you still thinking of him after everything he¡¯s done to you?¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. scolded Vivian as he shifted his hostile gaze to Gilbert. Gilbert was confused as he had no idea what was happening. Kisa got herself together. She grabbed Gilbert and asked Mr. and Mrs. Mullen Sr. pretentiously as if she was very confused about what was going on. ¡°May I know if Ms. Vivian was referring to the eldest heir of the Kooper family, David Kooper?¡± Gilbert looked at her subconsciously as he squinted. *Kisa probably knows something. ¡®And. I feel like she¡¯s using him to get some information.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1257 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1257 Chapter 1257 Ask Around The looks on Mr. and Mrs. Mullen Sr.¡¯s faces were stone-cold. Vivian had utterly quieted down, and Mrs. Mullen Sr. asked for someone to send her to the guest house in the backyard. Seeing the elderly couple sitting on the sofa, Kisa hurriedly pulled Gilbert over. ¡®I can¡¯t ask Vivian. about David since she¡¯s a little cuckoo. So, I have to get something out of these two. Though, I can¡¯t be too blunt, I¡¯ll just have Gilbert do it. I mean, it makes sense for him to ask since David is his uncle¡­ But, I still have to find a way to bring up the topic,¡¯ Kisa thought. ¡°Mr. Mullen Sr., is the David that Ms. Mullen mentioned¡­¡± ¡°Yes. She¡¯s talking about the eldest son of the Kooper family, David Kooper,¡± Mrs. Mullen said coldly before Kisa finished her question while looking at Gilbert with a hostile gaze. Gilbert instantly frowned when he heard that. ¡°What kind of vendetta does Ms. Mullen have with my uncle? As far as I know, my uncle had always been in Calthon or abroad. He never lingered in Athadale, let alone have any emotional entanglement with Ms. Mullen.¡± Adrien was still there at that moment. However, he did not sit with them. He sat outside the door with his back to them. He was not that far away, so he could still hear what they said. Kisa subconsciously looked at his back. Even though she suspected that he was David, she did not know how to verify her hunch. After all, he and David did not look alike at all. Their family backgrounds were also very different. ¡°If I remember correctly, your grandma sent him out of the country at that time, and he must have sneaked back in. He was like a puppy who had lost his home, so our kind-hearted Vivian took him in,¡±N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Mrs. Mullen Sr. sneered in a daze. Kisa nced at Adrien when she heard that. But, there was no reaction from the man. Gilbert¡¯s eyes darkened. He did not know whether what the olddy said was true since he knew very little about that uncle of his. The only thing Gilbert knew was that David was sent abroad when he and Jensen were little. Adalyn told them that their uncle had done something wrong, so he had to leave. Gilbert was still too young and ignorant back then, so he did not question her. Now that he saw how intense Vivian¡¯s reaction was, he thought that his uncle might have actually done something to the Mullen family. Kisa looked at Gilbert, expecting him to ask a few more questions. She wanted to know the reason why Vivian had such an outburst, what David did to her, and when he left their residence But, she could not tantly ask them since she was just a daughter-inw of the Kooper family Too much concern about David would inevitably arouse some suspicion. Moreover, Adrien is still here. If he really is David, he must have had a reason to change everything about himself to be closer to the Mullen family. If I show too much interest in David, he would probably think I¡¯m onto him. I can¡¯t be the one asking questions right now,¡¯ she thought. Gilbert seemed to have read her mind when he asked the elderly couple in front of him, ¡°What did my uncle do to Ms. Mullen back then? Why is she like this now? When did my uncle leave your family, and where did he go?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1258 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1258 Chapter 1258 To Rob and Destroy This is from N?velDrama.Org. Kisa sat beside Gilbert, quietly waiting for Mr. and Mrs. Mullen Sr. to answer the questions. Gilbert had asked everything she wanted to know, but the elderly couple did not seem like they wanted to answer. Mr. Mullen Sr. smoked his cigarette silently, and his face was gloomy and a little scary. I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m not able to talk about that shameless and sadistic event that only the Kooper family was capable of. If you want to know what kind of immoral acts your uncle did to Vivian, your should ask him yourself,¡± Mrs. Mullen Sr. snorted coldly After that, she got up and left as if she would be disgusted if she spared another nce at a Kooper family member. Gilbert then turned his gaze to Mr. Mullen Sr., who was smoking as he asked with a cold smile, ¡°Do you know why I wanted to snatch your woman away from you?¡± Gilbert sat upright and did not say a word while he looked at Mr. Mullen Sr. quietly with a cold and dark gaze. Mr. Mullen Sr. puffed out rings of smoke and snorted, ¡°It wasn¡¯t just because that woman was seductive, but because¡­ I hate your family. I want to rob your family of everything and destroy them!¡± Gilbert subconsciously held Kisa¡¯s hand tightly when he said that. ¡°I¡¯ll find out what my uncle did to Ms. Mullen. I will apologize to her sincerely if my uncle hurt her. On the other hand, I advise you to stop those thoughts. Both families wouldn¡¯t benefit if we were to break into a fight.¡± Gilbert spoke slowly. His tone was neither warm nor angry. Instead, it was calm. But, there was an indescribable bitterness to it. Mr. Mullen Sr. had been in the business industry for a long time. He had faced many challenges, so he was not fooled by his tone. However, he did not want to go against Gilbert either. At least not yet.. ¡°Why so nervous, Mr. Kooper? You and your wife are my guests. I won¡¯t do anything foolish,¡± Mr. Mullen Sr.ughed. ¡°Do let me know when you have a lead on your uncle¡¯s whereabouts. It would be a pity if I couldn¡¯t teach that b*stard a lesson. But, if you can¡¯t find him or found that he¡¯s dead, someone from your family must still bear his sins!¡± ¡®It doesn¡¯t seem like the Mullen family knows where David is. The Mullens are a powerful family. If they can¡¯t find David, then he must be really good at hiding, Kisa thought. Kisa wanted to go to the backyard for a walk in the afternoon. Afterst night, she felt that there was something mysterious about the backyard of the Mullen residence. She also wanted to find. out if the gloomy and vicious gaze she felt that was staring at her was still there. It was daytime, so she was not afraid if there was. Moreover, she could take the opportunity to see who it was. However, Gilbert did not give her the chance to go there. After they finished their chat with Mr Mullen Sr., Gilbert dragged Kisa back to the room. The man leaned against the locked door and stared at her intensely. The most terrifying thing about the man was his gaze. He just stared at her without saying a word. His eyes were clouded with anger and a hint of coldness, which made her feel suffocated. Although Gilbert was just staring at her, Kisa felt like it was as if he was strangling her with his bare hands, making her feel trapped. ¡°W-Why are you looking at me like that?¡± She pursed her lips and asked Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1259 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1259 Chapter 1259 Admit It ¡°Admit it, you¡¯ve been hiding things from me,¡± said the man. His voice was warm and calm, but it made her feel oppressed Compared to how he always yelled at her, his gentle yet cold demeanor was even more terrifying. Kisa held onto her own hands and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡± ¡°Oh, you don¡¯t?¡± Gilbert pursed his lips and smiled. The smile sent a chill down her spine. The man straightened up and slowly walked toward Kisa as she stepped back subconsciously The bed upied most of the room, so as she backed away, she reached the side of the bed. The back of Kisa¡¯s knee identally bumped against the edge of the bed, and she fell onto it as the man approached her The bed was soft, and she bounced twice on it Gilbert came closer, bent his back a little with one hand supporting him on the mattress, and stroked Kisa¡¯s soft hair with the other ¡°Do you need a quick reminder?¡± He asked. Kisa did not like how calm and collected he was, even though it was clear that he was losing it. He looked scary I would rather him yell at me, strangle me, and question me directly instead of this His cold and dark gaze made Kisa anxious. ¡°You did everything you could to stay herest night so you could find out more about my uncle, right?¡± Sh*t How did he know? Was it that obvious? I only asked Mr and Mrs. Mullen Sr one question Ugh. I can¡¯t hide anything from him.¡± Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. Kisa put on a smile and said. ¡°No, I¡¯m not interested in your uncle Why would I ever want to know more about him?¡± Gilbert looked at her quietly with a slight smile. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes Kisa felt guilty when he stared at her, so she could not help but push him away ¡°Okay, that¡¯s enough It¡¯s like you¡¯re interrogating a criminal or something.¡± ¡°Would I be this nice if this was an interrogation?¡± Gilbert snorted He straightened up, stared at her coldly, and said, ¡°You pulled me over just to ask the Mullens about my uncle, and now you¡¯re saying you¡¯re not interested?¡± Kisa gritted her teeth. Gilbert had seen right through her, but she did not want to acknowledge it He can¡¯t say or do anything if I don¡¯t admit it,¡¯ she thought. The man seemed to have read her mind. Following that, he walked to the window and opened it. He then lit a cigarette, took a drag, and held it out the window While puffing out the smoke, he nced at Kisa with a deep look in his eyes. ¡°My uncle sent a letter to my grandma some time ago,¡± he said casually Kisa was shocked. She got up instantly and rushed over to him. ¡°What did you say? The eldest son of the Kooper family sent a letter to grandma? When did that happen? What did the letter say?¡± The woman asked so anxiously that almost her whole upper body was pressed against his. Gilbert frowned and pushed her as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t get so close Go to the couch and stay away¡± Kisa did not want to go away, as she finally got to hear some substantive news about David.¡± When did your uncle send the letter? What did the letter say? Where is your uncle right now?¡± She tugged on Gilbert¡¯s arm and asked again. Unable to get the woman to go away, Gilbert could not help but frown and say, ¡°Can you please step back? At least let me finish this cigarette first.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1260 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1260 Chapter 1260 You Investigated Behind My Back Kisa was taken aback. She then realized the cigarette in his hand was stretched out of the window as if he was afraid of burning her. ¡°Then, just smoke. No one is stopping you.¡± Gilbert stared at her for a few seconds and nced at her belly. ¡°Ugh. I have got to quit smoking.¡± The man tugged on his tie, as he was a little annoyed. Then, he stubbed out his cigarette. ¡°Why did you do that? It¡¯s not like I can¡¯t inhale it right now,¡± Kisa stared at him in a daze and said.¡± What is wrong with this man? When my health was at risk back then, he could not stop smoking in front of me. He would even deliberately puff out the smoke to my face. Now that I¡¯m fine, he¡¯s suddenly being considerate. He¡¯s so fake,¡¯ Kisa thought. She tried to change the topic and asked for the third time, ¡°Did your uncle actually send a letter to grandma?¡± Gilbert stared at her with a yful demeanor and replied, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you weren¡¯t interested in my uncle¡¯s affairs? Why are you getting so worked up?¡± ¡°Uhh¡­¡¯ Kisa could not find an excuse. She had to admit it. ¡°Okay, okay. I wanted to stay here. because I wanted to find out more about your Uncle David.¡± Gilbert frowned slightly. ¡°How did you know my uncle had something to do with the Mullen family?¡± Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. ¡°I found out by ident. I found out that he was staying with them for a while.¡± ¡°You investigated quite a bit behind my back, huh?¡± The man¡¯s tone was cold. Kisa lowered her gaze and suddenly said with a sad face, ¡°Grandma always talked sh*t about my mom and that she ruined your uncle¡¯s future. She held a grudge against me because of my mother, so I wanted to find out what had happened between them back then. But, grandmal refused to talk about it. My mom is dead, so I could only find out what happened through your Uncle David. I identally came upon the fact that he had stayed here for a long time, so I came here in celebration of Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday to find out more about where he is.¡± Gilbert stared at her with a deep gaze. ¡°So, you¡¯re investigating behind my back because you want to know what happened between my uncle and your mother, and you want to prove your mother¡¯s innocence so that grandma would stop resenting you two?¡± ¡°Yes. I know my mom is nowhere near how grandma described her. I want to know what they did. to make grandma hate her that much,¡± Kisa said seriously. Gilbert stared at her for a long time but did not see any loose ends. ¡®This woman is probably telling the truth,¡¯ he thought. Suddenly, he reached out and pulled the woman into his arms. His. tone was much gentler than before. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me about it? I could have helped you.¡± Kisa was startled at Gilbert¡¯s sudden change of attitude. After a while, she said in a muffled voice,¡± I was afraid that you¡¯d think I have other intentions. I mean, you always think badly of me.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you do the same?¡± Gilbert snorted. Kisa did not want to argue with him, so she continued to talk about the letter. ¡°Now, can you tell me when David sent the letter to grandma, and what are the contents?¡± ¡°Not long ago,¡± said Gilbert, not intending to hide it from her. Even if she did not tell him her reasons, he would have told her about it if she had just asked a few more times. ¡°Do you remember Sharon being locked up for causing your miscarriage? My uncle sent a letter to grandma, asking her to withdraw thewsuit.¡± When Kisa heard that, she frowned fiercely. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1261 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1261 Chapter 1261 Surrounded by Lies ¡°Grandma withdrew thewsuit because of that letter?¡± Kisa was getting more and more confused. ¡°Why did David help Sharon? Does he have a connection with the Case family?¡± Gilbert shook his head. ¡°I checked. My uncle had nothing to do with the Case family, but¡­ Carolyn seemed to have a crush on him many years ago.¡± ¡°What?¡± Kisa was utterly shocked, and something shed through her mind so fast that she could not even grasp it. She sat down on the chair with her mind all over the ce. ¡®Why did David save Sharon from thewsuit? Could it be because of Carolyn? Does David like her? No, no, no. That¡¯s impossible. If David liked her, she wouldn¡¯t have married Christopher. With her personality, she would definitely choose David¡­ ¡®Did Carolyn beg him to write the letter? But, that¡¯s rather unlikely¡­ She wouldn¡¯t be keeping quiet if she knew about David¡¯s whereabouts. Plus, there¡¯s no way she had a big fight with Christopher because of Adrien if she liked David. Unless¡­ Unless Adrien and David are the same person! ¡®But, if Adrien is David, that means Jensen¡­ is his son. And, Jensen wanted to introduce Adrien to me¡­ What the hell? The more I think about it, the more terrified and confused I feel.¡¯ Kisa felt like she had been living in a huge lie that involved a lot. Gilbert saw how ufortable the woman looked and could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?. What are you thinking?¡± Kisa shook her head. She leaned on the table and said in a muffled voice, ¡°Can you find out where your uncle is?¡± ¡°No,¡± Gilbert said bluntly. ¡°The letter only shows that he is still alive. There¡¯s no address on it. It¡¯s like he¡¯s afraid of being found.¡± Kisa did not press further. She had a vague n to verify that Adrien was David. ¡®A lot could be cleared up if he really is him. I can also ask him where my brother is. If he isn¡¯t David, I¡¯ll have to continue looking for him with the limited clues I have. But¡­ How am I going to verify his identity? Adrien is getting more and more unpredictable these days. I can¡¯t make it too obvious. Otherwise, he¡¯ll know that I¡¯m onto him.¡± Kisa ran into Arthur that night. He was carrying a lot of food to the backyard. Thinking that he was visiting his aunt, Kisa followed him. The glowing moonlight brightened the gravel road. The wind was chilly, making the backyard feel a little deste. Arthur looked at the woman who suddenly. appeared beside him and frowned. ¡°What are you doing?¡± he asked. ¡°Are you visiting your aunt?¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. ¡°Yeah. Why?¡± Arthur was an honest kid. Whenever someone asked him anything, he would reply without any hesitation. Kisa had a good impression of Arthur. She smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯lle with you.¡± ¡°No. My aunt doesn¡¯t like visitors.¡± ¡°I must go see her. After all, the person who hurt her is my husband¡¯s uncle. I should go and apologize on behalf of them.¡± Arthur frowned immediately and stared at her suspiciously. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1262 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1262 Chapter 1262 You Deceived Him Arthur¡¯s suspicion was so apparent that Kisa was speechless. ¡°I¡¯m not lying; honest!¡± ¡°No one can be sure. You lie so much that you yed your husband like a fiddle.¡± ¡°Pfft-¡°Kisaughed out. She knew that she was not that capable since Gilbert was hard to deceive. ¡®I could only ever fool him on small matters. How am I to y him like a fiddle? ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth this time. The person who hurt her was my husband¡¯s uncle, so in a sense, he is my uncle too. Seeing how badly your aunt reacted today, I feel bad. I want to apologize to her on behalf of the Kooper family,¡± Kisa said with a sincere look. Arthur did not doubt her any further when he saw how sincere she looked. He nodded and said, ¡± My aunt hasn¡¯t been her best self these past two days. Her mood is constantly fluctuating. You should pay close attention and try not to provoke her.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Kisa nodded as she followed him toward the fake rock. A small courtyard was on the other side of the rockery, and a wooden cabin stood past an archway. Vivian¡¯s legs were not strong enough, so living in the tiny house in the courtyard was much more. convenient. There were two servants in the house, One was adjusting the nket on Vivian¡¯sp while the other was making tea. Vivian¡¯s expression was a little dull. She stared at the crutches at the door without moving an inch. Arthur, on the other hand, was very lively. ¡°Aunt Vivian, I¡¯m here!¡± He shouted when he entered the door. Vivian had a slow reaction to his voice. Her gaze gradually moved out the door, and she could not help smiling when she saw Arthur. It was a faint smile, but still a smile. Immediately after that, her gaze shifted to Kisa, who was standing beside Arthur. Vivian¡¯s face. turned cold. Maybe it was because Kisa was an outsider. When Arthur saw that sudden change of expression, he quickly said, ¡°Aunt Vivian, this is my friend. She came to visit.¡± Arthur was a smart kid. He knew that Vivian would react badly if she knew that Kisa was the daughter-inw of the Kooper family, so he introduced her as his friend. The servants pushed Vivian out of the cabin. There was a table and some chairs out in the yard. Arthur asked Kisa to sit as he put all the food he had brought on the table. ¡°Aunty, I brought you more yummy food this time,¡± he said with a smile. ¡°You guys go ahead. I¡¯m not hungry,¡± Vivian replied. Her mood was fairly stable at the moment. She was not angry at all, but there was still a hint of sadness and resentment on her pale face. ¡®She must love and hate David at the same time, just like how I felt for Gilbert back then, Kisa thought. A light flickered in her eyes as she smiled at Vivian in a friendly manner and said, ¡°Arthur told me that you¡¯re a very nice and talented person. It¡¯s a pity that you got into a car ident¡­¡± Vivian frowned when she heard that, and her face looked cold. ¡°Seeing you like this, Ms. Mullen, 1 can¡¯t help but think of what I went through. How sad and hopeless I felt,¡± Kisa said. In an instant, Vivian¡¯s gaze on her turned from coldness into suspicion. ¡°You went through grief and despair?¡± Kisa did not say much. She just took off her jacket and put it on Vivian. When Arthur saw that, hist face turned red, and he muttered, ¡°What are you doing?¡± He then hurriedly turned his face away. but Kisa ignored him and showed Vivian her back which was covered with horrific burn scars.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1263 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1263 Chapter 1263 My Husband Wants Me Dead Vivian immediately widened her eyes. The burn scars behind Kisa¡¯s back were especially horrifying. Kisa had seen it in the mirror herself. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Everyone who had seen the burn scars on her back was all shocked. ¡°Your back¡­¡± Vivian¡¯s voice was filled with shock. Arthur was curious. He tilted his head slightly and nced in Kisa¡¯s direction in embarrassment. However, a single nce was enough to send him into shock. ¡°Ah¡­ Kisa, what happened to your back? Why is it like that?¡± Kisa had a really fairplexion, making the scar look particrly obvious and hideous. Kisa pulled down her shirt and turned to face Vivian. Then, she smiled calmly and said, ¡°Back then, my beloved sent me to jail. Then, I ended up with these wounds.¡± ¡°Your¡­ Your beloved?¡± Vivian was in disbelief. Kisa nodded, ¡°I loved that man for many years and became his wife, just like I wished. However, he still sent me to jail for another woman. Back then, I was eight months pregnant with his child.¡± ¡°W-What?¡± Instead of a mournful expression, Vivian had more of a shocked expression. ¡°When I was in jail, I suffered all kinds of insults and beatings. However, those weren¡¯t enough. I even had a huge fire waiting for me. The fire had surrounded the jail cell. I screamed out in pain and desperately pounded on the door. In the end, nobody came to save me. Guess what I heard. the people behind the door say?¡± Vivian subconsciously clenched her hands. ¡°What did you hear them say behind the door?¡± ¡°The person behind the door said, my husband wants me dead!¡± Kisa said and suddenlyughed. Sheughed so much that she started tearing up. ¡°I believe Ms. Mullen must fully know the feeling of hopelessness and pain when you get hurt by your beloved.¡± Vivian gripped the railing tightly. Then, a hint of hate and sorrow quickly appeared in her eyes. A momentter, she asked Kisa, ¡°Then¡­ What happened to your baby?¡± ¡°It died, Kisa said with a stoic expression. She continued, ¡°When he took it out of my stomach, it died. It was so small. It was curled up and completely purple¡­¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Vivian suddenly hugged herself as if she thought of her own poor child. Kisa looked at her. A momentter, she pulled Vivian¡¯s hand and said in a low voice. ¡°I¡¯m not telling you this because I want your sympathy, but because I want to let you know that getting hurt isn¡¯t scary. What¡¯s scary is being unable to cope with the trauma.¡± Vivian gazed deeply at Kisa for a while. Suddenly, she retracted her hand. ¡°My situation is different from yours. I was yed.¡± ¡°There isn¡¯t much of a difference. We both loved the wrong people.¡± Kisa stood up and added, ¡°I may seem fine to you, but you don¡¯t know that my organs were damaged by the fire years ago. I almost died, and my baby died. I thought of ending my life, and I also fell into a state of depression. However, now that I¡¯ve pulled through, I suddenly realized how hrious I was seeking death and being in despair. After all¡­ Why should we hurt ourselves over men who don¡¯t even love us? We fall into a state of depression and even do things that hurt ourselves, yet they don¡¯t feel bad for us at all. The only people who¡¯ll feel bad are your parents, who love you. The more they hurt and disappoint us, the better we should live. Am I right?¡± ¡°Get out!¡± Perhaps Kisa¡¯s words had stung Vivian where it hurt because she suddenly asked Kisa to leave. Kisa watched her silently. The woman in front of her did not break down like she did during the day, so that was already a very good sign. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1264 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1264 Chapter 1264 I Didn¡¯t Know You Had Such A Tragic Past ¡®This shows that my word got through her,¡¯ Kisa thought to herself. She thought again, ¡®If I want to learn about David, I can only start with Vivian. There¡¯s a saying that people with simr experiences feel sympathy for one another, so it¡¯ll be easier for them to reach out to each other. I need to make Vivian let her guard down if I want to get closer to her. That¡¯s why I told her about my messy and painful past. That way, Vivian might think she isn¡¯t the most. miserable person.¡¯ Seeing how Kisa did not move, Vivian darkened her expression. She said to Arthur, ¡°Hurry up and scram with your friend!¡± ¡°Oh, oh, don¡¯t be mad, Aunty Vivian. We¡¯ll leave now, We¡¯ll leave¡­¡± Arthur said while tugging Kisa¡¯s arm in a panic. Then, they walked out to the courtyard. Kisa turned around and saw Vivian with one arm on the table and the other on her wheelchair. She had a dark expression on her face and a hint of hatred in her eyes. Kisa smiled slightly. ¡®My words definitely got through to Vivian. Even though she¡¯s kicking me out now, I have a feeling that she¡¯ll have a heart-to-heart chat with me soon. While she might not find me on her own stead, at the very least, she won¡¯t kick me out the next time Ie over. How could someone kind like her drive away someone who¡¯s also gotten incredibly hurt by a man?¡¯ thought Kisa. ¡°Kisa, I didn¡¯t know you had such a tragic past.¡± After they got to the courtyard, Arthur eximed in shock before sighing. Kisa smiled at him. ¡°You couldn¡¯t tell I got badly hurt, right?¡± ¡°Mhm,¡± Arthur nodded furiously. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. He continued, ¡°To me, you have a morous appearance. You don¡¯t look like you¡¯ve gotten heartbroken before.¡± ¡°I died twice,¡± Kisa said casually as if she was talking about someone else¡¯s matter. Arthur looked at her in admiration. ¡°You¡¯re very strong. You look like you¡¯re doing well right now. If only my aunt could also cheer up someday.¡± Vivian heard the two¡¯s conversation. Shey down on the table. Her shoulder trembled because of her suppressed cries. ¡®Cheer up? That¡¯s easier said than done. But, that woman doesn¡¯t have it any easier than me. If she can cheer up, why can¡¯t I?¡¯ thought Vivian. Arthur and Kisa did not walk far away from the courtyard before they bumped into Adrien. He was smoking while leaning against a rock. Kisa only noticed his presence because she saw the sparks between his fingers. Kisa walked over and asked him in confusion, ¡°What are you doing here, Mr. Tanner?¡± Adrien smiled and said in an amiable voice, ¡°The moon¡¯s beautiful tonight. I¡¯m taking a walk around the backyard.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Kisa nodded as a dark glint shed across her eyes. She pointed behind at Vivian¡¯s ce and said, ¡°Arthur and I came over to visit his aunt.¡± ¡°Ms. Mullen is a poor soul. She seems to have mistaken me as her beloved,¡± Adrien smiled a little awkwardly. Then, he continued, ¡°But if it¡¯ll help Ms. Mullen get better, I¡¯m fine with pretending to be her beloved. However, it seems like she also hates that beloved of hers, which is why I¡¯m a little hesitant if I should continue appearing in front of her. Sometimes, I want to console her, but she¡¯s suddenly reminded of her hate toward her beloved. Then, she¡¯ll yell at me emotionally,¡± Adrien said while shrugging in resignation. Kisa smiled. Then, she purposefully said, ¡°Well,e to think of it, this is entirely the eldest son of the Kooper family¡¯s fault.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1265 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1265 Chapter 1265 The Secret in The Archway Kisa said as she peered at Adrien¡¯s expression. Adrien nodded, ¡°I heard about this from Mr. Mullen Sr. too. He said the eldest son of the Kooper family had hurt Ms. Mullen back then, so it¡¯s no surprise the Mullen family don¡¯t like the Kooper family.¡± ¡°Yeah. I want to atone for his sins, so I purposefully came over to console Ms. Mullen.¡± ¡°You¡¯re¡­ helping the Kooper family atone for their sins?¡± Adrien looked at Kisa in amusement. He continued, ¡°You don¡¯t have to atone for their sin. Isn¡¯t there Gilbert?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°Ms. Mullen is a good person. It doesn¡¯t matter who¡¯s atoning for the sins. I, too, went through simrly unforgettable and hopeless suffering, so it¡¯s better for me to console her instead. Rather than saying that I¡¯m atoning for the sins in the Kooper family¡¯s stead, I¡¯m merely standing in the viewpoint of a woman who¡¯s gotten hurt and wants to help Ms. Mullen get better.¡± Adrien nodded and said, ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Kisa nced at him and said half-jokingly, ¡°Nevertheless, why do I feel like you¡¯re being quite attentive toward Ms. Mullen?¡± Adrien maintained hisposure andughed, ¡°Ha-ha. Just as you said, Ms. Mullen is a good person. I felt sorry seeing her like this. Besides, I have a simr physique as her beloved, so I felt even worse. That¡¯s why I wanted to talk some sense into her and help her get better soon.¡± Kisa stared at him for a while. His expression remained gentle and calm. Since she could not detect any other traces of emotions on his face, she could not help but feel a little disappointed. Kisa smiled coolly and said, ¡°You¡¯re always so kind and amiable, Mr. Tanner.¡± Adrien patted Kisa¡¯s head and smiled, ¡°I like beautiful things, so I hope that everyone will be happy and well.¡± Kisa smiled. However, she felt a little revolted. ¡®No matter how I think about it, his words sound so ingenuine,¡¯ she thought. Kisa then smiled at Adrien and said, ¡°Thankfully, you didn¡¯t bring Aunt Carolyn over. Otherwise, she might get jealous seeing you being so attentive toward Ms. Mullen. She might even make a fuss at the Mullen residence.¡± ¡°Ha-ha. She wanted toe, but it¡¯s a shame your father didn¡¯t let her.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and smiled. Then, she casually asked, ¡°She and my father¡¯s divorce proceedings are almostplete, huh?¡± ¡°Mhm. Almost.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. Forcing two people who don¡¯t love each other to stay together will be painful for them.¡± After making small talk with Adrien for a while, Kisa wanted to go back inside. She smiled at Adrien and said, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, so we¡¯ll be returning to our rooms now. You should do the same too, Mr. Tanner.¡± ¡°Mhm. I¡¯ll do that when I¡¯m done smoking.¡±N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. On the side of the rockery was an archway. Kisa had never been there. When she thought of the eerie gaze she feltst night, she had an idea. Kisa dragged Arthur toward the archway. ¡®The eerie gaze came from this direction twice,¡¯ she thought. Inside the archway was pitch ck. It was secluded and dested. ¡®I definitely wouldn¡¯te at night if I was alone. I could use this opportunity to take a look since Arthur is here with me. After all, Arthur is the eldest grandson in the Mullen family, so Mr. Mullen Sr. won¡¯t say a thing about us wandering around the courtyard,¡¯ she thought. Just as they got to the archway, Arthur stopped. He flung Kisa¡¯s hand away and asked in resignation, ¡°What are you doing, Kisa?¡±. ¡°What¡¯s that ce? It looks like it takes up a lot of space.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Just some grove and greenery. Oh, there¡¯s also a garden. They¡¯re all inside.¡± ¡°A garden? Then, it must be beautiful. Could you bring me there to take a look?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t see it even if it¡¯s beautiful. It¡¯s nighttime. What can you see?¡± ¡°There¡¯s the moonlight. Wouldn¡¯t the garden look even more beautiful under the dim moonlight?¡± Kisa said. Then, she took the lead and walked in. Arthur quickly pulled her back. ¡°You can¡¯t go in there.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1266 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1266 Chapter 1266 Prohibited Area ¡°Why?¡± Seeing Arthur¡¯s serious and panicked expression, Kisa grew even more curious about the things within the archway. Arthur replied, ¡°That¡¯s my grandpa¡¯s territory. No one¡¯s allowed to go in there.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes glinted slightly. ¡°Why is that? Don¡¯t you all stay together? Why are there territories?¡± she asked in confusion. ¡°It¡¯s not that we have territories.¡± Arthur peered into the archway. Then, he walked toward the vi. Kisa quickly caught up to him. ¡°If it¡¯s not that you have territories, then what is it? Didn¡¯t you just say that¡¯s your grandpa¡¯s territory?¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have territories. Everyone in the Mullen family can move around as they please anywhere in the courtyard except for that ce.¡± ¡°Hoho. You¡¯re making it sound like that ce is a prohibited area.¡± ¡°Something like that.¡± Arthur thought for a bit and continued, ¡°Actually, in the beginning, that area was simr to the other areas in the courtyard. There was a rockery, pond, and gazebo. I even used to often y there when I was younger. After that, which was a few years ago, grandpa suddenly got someone to renovate that area. I heard that a basement was built. I also heard that the basement is decoratedvishly, has a huge garden built on the ground floor, and a little stream with water directed in from the outside. It¡¯s beautiful,¡± ¡°You¡­ heard?¡± Kisa was starting to find the Mullen family weirder and weirder. ¡®He¡¯s the eldest grandson in the Mullen family, and he had to learn from someone else about the landscape in the Mullen residence¡¯s courtyard. How strange,¡¯ she thought. This is from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Yeah, I heard. Ever since that ce got renovated, I have never entered it again. After the basement and the ground level were built, my grandpa had a family meeting. He announced that the area was his and that nobody was to enter. Previously, my second uncle didn¡¯t listen to him. and sneaked in the middle of the night. In the end, the bodyguard surrounding the area discovered him, and he was almost beaten to death. My grandfather even punished him severely and practically took away all of his power in thepany.¡± Kisa was shocked. ¡°There are bodyguards surrounding that ce?¡± ¡°Of course. The bodyguards are hidden. Otherwise, why would I pull you away in such a rush?¡± Arthur continued earnestly, ¡°Besides that, my fourth uncle¡¯s child, who was five or four years old. went there out of curiosity. Even though the bodyguards didn¡¯t beat the child, my grandpa confined my uncle¡¯s child and didn¡¯t give him food for three days. The child almost starved to death. After that, nobody dared to go there.¡± Kisa immediately felt immense confusion and curiosity from within. She asked Arthur, ¡°Then, do you all know why your grandfather built that basement?¡± ¡°My grandpa said it¡¯s to avoid the summer heat. Anyway, that ce is a prohibited area in the Mullen residence. Other than my grandpa, nobody is allowed to go there, even my grandma.¡± Kisa darkened her gaze. ¡®To avoid the summer heat? How could it be something as simple as avoiding the summer heat? Why would Mr. Mullen Sr. make it seem so secretive and serious if it was merely for that? Unless there¡¯s something hidden in that basement, Kisa thought. Then, she subconsciously nced at the area again. It was pitch ck, and it did not seem like anyone was staying there at all. Arthur saw Kisa constantly looking at the ce. He could not help but remind her, ¡°Even the Mullen family isn¡¯t allowed to go there, not to mention outsiders. That¡¯s why you should be mindful and not get too curious. Otherwise, nobody will care if the bodyguards beat you to death.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1267 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1267 Chapter 1267 Are You Jealous N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Kisa quickly forced a smile and said, ¡°I¡¯m curious, but I also love my life. So, I won¡¯t go seeking death.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. Go upstairs and get some rest, Kisa. Thank you for consoling my aunt today.¡± ¡°You¡¯re most wee. If you¡¯re free tomorrow, we¡¯ll go see your aunt again. We¡¯ll try to help her cheer up.¡± ¡°Mhm, okay. Then, I¡¯ll ask you toe with me when I go see her tomorrow.¡± Gilbert stood by the window. He stared at the two silhouettes downstairs with a stoic expression. as they chatted andughed. Then, his expression darkened. He exhaled a smoke ring as he slowly narrowed his cold. eyes. Shortly after, Kisa returned to their room. She opened the door, and the light in the room made her feel a lot calmer. When she lifted her gaze, she saw the man standing in front of the window with his back facing. her. Kisa subconsciously smiled at the sight of the man. She did not feel a hint of uneasiness and fear. She closed the door and strode over. ¡°You¡¯re back early today.¡± Gilbert went out in the afternoon. And, Kisa thought he would returnte. However, the man did not respond and did not even spare a nce at her. Kisa was skeptical. She ran to his side and tilted her head to nce at him.. ¡®Oof! His expression is so dark. It¡¯s like he¡¯s the devil himself, she thought. Kisa moved closer to him out of reflex. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did something happen? Why are you in such a bad mood?¡± ¡°You seem to get along really well with that boy from the Mullen family?¡± Kisa was startled. A momentter, she followed his gaze and turned to look out the window. ¡®Is what he saw from this direction coincidentally the cobblestone path Arthur and I walked past. just now? Is he angry because I was with Arthur? thought Kisa. At this thought, Kisa could not help but roll her eyes. ¡°Arthur and I were together just now because we had serious business.¡± Gilbert turned to look at her but did not speak. He was still giving her a deathly re. It was cold. and icy. Kisa could not stand his gaze, so she moved further away. However, the man immediately reached out and pulled her over. Then, he bossily wrapped his arms around her waist. Kisa could not stand him. ¡°Are you nuts? I already told you Arthur can practically be my younger brother. What is wrong with you? Are you jealous?¡± ¡®J-Jealous?¡¯ she thought. Kisa was startled for a moment. Then, she stared at him in disbelief, ¡°Gilbert, don¡¯t¡­ Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re actually jealous of Arthur?¡± Gilbert narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a few seconds. Momentster, he shoved her aside forcefully. ¡°Don¡¯t tter yourself. Why would I be jealous of a kid?¡± The man¡¯s dark expression had traces of embarrassment. Kisa leaned toward him. She stared unblinking at him with her big, bright eyes. ¡°If you¡¯re not jealous, then why are you so bothered by me being with Arthur?¡± ¡°Did I say I¡¯m bothered by you being with him?¡± ¡°You¡­ Aren¡¯t you in such a bad mood because you saw me with him while you were standing here? ¡®I really think that¡¯s the case, thought Kisa.

However, I don¡¯t feel repulsed by his cursing. I must be going crazy,¡± Kisa thought. Kisa peered at his angered expression and asked, ¡°Why were you waiting for me?¡± ¡°You said you were scared and told me toe home early every day.

It¡¯s not like I asked you to wait for me.¡± This is from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You¡­¡± Gilbert immediately narrowed his eyes. In an instant, there was a ruthless look in his eyes. Kisa quickly forced a smile, I know you¡¯re worried about me. Thank you for waiting for me. You don¡¯t know how reassured I felt when I opened the door and saw you in the room.¡± While my words sound ingratiating, they¡¯re also the truth,¡¯ she thought. However, the man responded slowly in an icy tone, ¡°Who¡¯s worried about you? Don¡¯t tter yourself.¡± Then, he turned around and walked to the bed. Kisa red at the man¡¯s back and cursed at him in her head. ¡°You nutjob,¡¯ she thought. However, what she did not see was that the man couldn¡¯t help but smile after turning around. Kisa stared at his back for a moment and increasingly felt the man seemed like someone with multiple personalities. He was asionally menacingly fierce, sometimes incredibly sweet, and at times-like now- vtile and strange. Gilbert saw the woman standing still with a scrunched-up face. He threw a nightrobe at her, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Hurry up and go shower.¡± Kisa subconsciously hugged the nightrobe. She watched the man lean onto the headboard as he grabbed a magazine. Then, he read it in silence. After staring at the man for a few seconds, Kisa turned around and went to the bathroom. She subconsciously nced at the mirror the moment she entered because of the writings she saw on it during the day. The mirror had been wiped clean. However, Kisa still felt freaked out and did not dare to look in the mirror. She turned around to ask the man on the bed, ¡°Say, do you think the person wille in and mess around tonight?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here; they wouldn¡¯t dare.¡± 212 Gilbert responded coolly. Suddenly, he lifted his gaze and looked at her, ¡°However, if you wanted to catch the person in the act, I could move to another room. If I¡¯m not around, that person mighte in to do these things to scare you again. Then, you could use the opportunity to catch the person.¡± When Kisa thought of the nightmare from the morning, the creepy, icyugh by her bed, and the blood writing on the mirror, she abruptly felt a chill run down her spine.¡± ¡°Forget it. This is good,¡± she said. Then, she closed the door and stood under the shower. ¡®I really want to know who¡¯s messing with me, but this is still the Mullen family¡¯s territory, after all. If this person can do such things without anyone noticing, then they¡¯re highly like to be someone. from the Mullen family. Maybe it¡¯s Mr. Mullen Sr.; he might want to intimidate Gilbert. After all, Mr. Mullen Sr. has always hated the Kooper family. Either way, it¡¯s safer for me to stay with this man,¡± thought Kisa. Kisa found the bathroom creepy because of the writings on the mirror she had seen during the day. She quickly showered and came out of the bathroom. When she saw the empty bed, she immediately felt panicked and hurriedly looked around. However, Gilbert was nowhere to be seen in the huge room. Kisa was not sure if it was in her head, but the atmosphere in the room had turned creepy. She quickly walked to the door. Then, she opened the door and looked outside. It was currently 10 o¡¯clock. The lights in the Mullen residence were still on, but it was particrly quiet, not a single sound could be heard. Kisa did not dare to go downstairs to look for Gilbert. After some thought, she decided to stay in the room. She walked by the window and picked up her phone. Just as she was about to call Gilbert, she saw a silhouette downstairs from the corner of her eye. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1269 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1269 Chapter 1269 I Want to Prove My Innocence Kisa subconsciously turned to look. To her surprise, the silhouette was Gilbert. ¡°How¡¯d he get to the courtyard within such a short period of time? He¡¯s still in his night robe,¡¯ she thought. Kisa then nced at the courtyard behind him; it was pitch ck. Only Vivian¡¯s ce had some light, and the other ces did not look different. Her gaze was fixated on Gilbert. After the man entered the house, she finally shifted her gaze. A whileter, Gilbert finally returned. ¡°What were you doing just now?¡± Kisa asked curiously the moment the man entered the room. Gilbert shut the door and nced at Kisa. A momentter, he responded indifferently. ¡°Nothing.¡± Then, he leaned onto the headboard and stared at a random spot in a daze. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert scrunched up his brows as his eyes darkened; he seemed to be thinking about something. Kisa could not figure out what he was thinking, but she sensed he had a heavy heart. She pursed her lips. Then, she suppressed her curiosity and did not ask more questions. ¡°That¡¯s how he is. If he doesn¡¯t want to tell me, there¡¯s no use asking him,¡¯ she thought. She climbed into the bed and started scrolling on her phone with her back facing him. ¡°Sometimes, this man would me me for not telling him a thing. But isn¡¯t he the same? He¡¯s always hiding things from me. If he doesn¡¯t want to tell me, so be it!¡¯ she thought. Kisa continued scrolling through her phone and tried her best to kill the curiosity she felt, ¡®However, how he appeared in the backyard just now was really strange. He wouldn¡¯t have gone down all of a sudden unless he saw something. After all, he should be getting ready for bed at this. hour. So what in the world did he see? What should I do? The more I think about it, the more curious I feel,¡¯ she thought.. Kisa sighed heavily. After that, she pretended to inadvertently nce at the man. However, she met with the man¡¯s dark eyes the man she nced over. She felt panicked. She quickly turned back around and continued to scroll through her phone casually. However, Kisa did not process whatever was ying on her phone. She felt tense and kept on detecting the movements of the man behind her. After a long while, Gilbert finally spoke, ¡°I saw the figure again just now.¡± Kisa was startled. For a moment, she could not process his words and subconsciously asked, ¡± What figure?¡± Just as she finished asking, she immediately remembered. ¡®He must be talking about the figure that resembled Sara Mitchell a lot. After all, only that would make him so emotional, panicked, and¡­.smitten. I was curious why he¡¯d run to the backyard all of a sudden, so it was that figure,¡¯ thought Kisa. Suddenly, the man spoke, ¡°The figure that resembled Sara.¡± ¡®Hmph. Sara¡­ Such an intimate way to address her,¡¯ thought Kisa. She was no longer in the mood to be on her phone. Kisa turned off her phone and threw it to the nightstand. Then, she pulled up the nkets and pretended as if she were about to sleep. However, she still asked dully, ¡°Is that so? You still didn¡¯t catch her this time, huh¡­¡± ¡°Why else would you be this down, huh?¡¯ she thought jealously. Before she could speak her mind, the man promptly answered coolly, ¡°I caught up with her.¡± Kisa was startled. She turned to look at him as a reflex, ¡°You caught up with her?¡± ¡°Mhm.¡± Kisa quickly sat up and asked in shock, ¡°Then¡­ Then where is she? You should ask her toe to see me. We¡¯re all here. We could get things straight and see if I was the one who kidnapped her back then!¡± In the end, Kisa¡¯s expression turned oddly serious. Gilbert stared deeply at her for a moment. Suddenly, he reached out to caress her long hair before chuckling lowly, ¡°You don¡¯t have to do this. I believe you didn¡¯t kidnap her back then.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of you believing me?¡± Kisa flung his hand away. She continued, ¡°I don¡¯t only want you to trust me; I also want to prove my innocence.¡± After she said that, she sat up and got out of the bed. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1270 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1270 Chapter 1270 You Must Be Very Disappointed ¡°Where is that woman? Is she in the backyard? I¡¯ll go find her. We must rify everything that happened back then.¡± Gilbert was experiencingplex emotions when he saw how emotional that woman was. He knew she must have felt wronged when he misjudged her all those years back. He wanted to make up for it, but she refused to ept his efforts. He pulled Kisa back and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to go after that woman. It isn¡¯t her.¡± Kisa was taken aback. ¡°It isn¡¯t?¡± ¡°No, it isn¡¯t.¡± Kisa felt discouraged and leaned into Gilbert¡¯s arms. She had thought that it was her. ¡°I was mentally prepared to confront the woman, but he said it wasn¡¯t her.¡± Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. Kisa could not help but feel a sense of loss in her heart. ¡°Even though all of Gilbert¡¯s attention would be focused on Sara once she appears and I won¡¯t be known as Mrs. Kooper or the wife of GK¡¯s CEO anymore, I still hope that she¡¯ll appear so that I can find out everything that happened back then¡­ and so that Gilbert can stop deliberately pretending to be affectionate toward me. If Sara suddenly appeared, this man would stop pretending to care about me.¡¯ Gilbert pulled Kisa under the nket and said, ¡°That woman really looked like Sara, but when I caught up, I saw that she was just a friend of Ms. Mullen.¡± ¡°You must be very disappointed,¡± Kisa suddenly said. Gilbert was stunned for a moment. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Kisa looked into his eyes which were filled with anger, and said with a smile, ¡°Didn¡¯t you try to look for her, even in your dreams? Weren¡¯t you disappointed when you realized that woman who looked so much like her wasn¡¯t her? Even I¡¯m disappointed, to be honest.¡± Gilbert did not speak. He just stared at her. She continued, ¡°Sara must still be alive. She ran away, but if she returns one day, I will give her the title of Mrs. Kooper.¡± ¡°Are you done?¡± Gilbert growled, trying to hold back his temper. ¡®How dare she go on and on when I didn¡¯t even say anything about it?! She¡¯s so annoying!¡± he thought. ¡°When Sara returns, you don¡¯t have to pretend to be affectionate toward me anymore. I don¡¯t care. if you¡¯re trying topensate or make up for your actions in the past or whatever; I don¡¯t need fake affection¡­ Mm¡­* Before she could finish her sentence, Gilbert kissed her to shut her up. He bit her lips maliciously. like he was trying to punish her. Kisp felt that her lips were going to bleed from all the biting. Her 22 lips were stinging in pain, and a salty and metallic taste filled her mouth. Kisa hit him angrily a few times, and the man stopped. He let her go after that. However, his face was extremely dark. The coldness in his eyes was so terrifying that no one would dare to provoke him. There was some blood on his lips, which made him look like a bloodthirsty demon. The streak of blood belonged to Kisa, and her lips felt like they were burning. Her fingers were covered in blood when she reached out to touch it. She red at the man angrily. ¡°Why did he bite me so violently? I was willing to give up my ce as Mrs. Kooper.¡± Gilbert half propped himself up and pushed her body under his. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1271 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1271 Chapter 1271 I¡¯ll Give My Blessing If She Comes Back Gilbert looked at Kisa with sad eyes and asked, ¡°You really want her to appear?¡± ¡°Well, yeah. Don¡¯t you?¡± 1-¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you don¡¯t want that. Don¡¯t tell me that I¡¯m the one you really love,¡± Kisa interrupted him lightly. ¡°You couldn¡¯t wait to catch up when you saw that figure that resembled her. Don¡¯t you think be lying if you said you love me? Honestly, I don¡¯t me you for anything. Love can¡¯t be forced. you¡¯d I¡¯ve already thought about it after all these years. If she everes back, I¡¯ll give you two my blessing,¡± Kisa said with a smile. It was as if she no longer wanted this marriage. Gilbert grabbed onto the mattress tightly. He gripped it so angrily that his knuckles turned blue. Kisa saw the man¡¯s sullen look andughed, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say I robbed her of being Mrs. Kooper? Isn¡¯t giving it back to her when she returns the right thing to do? Why are you getting mad about it? ¡°¡­Okay. I¡¯m not mad.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face looked tense, but his voice was calm as he slowly said, ¡°Kisa, you really are heartless.¡± After that, hey on his side, his back facing her. Kisa stared at the ceiling for a while. After some time, she sneered to herself, ¡®Oh, suddenly I¡¯m the heartless one? If I really was heartless, I wouldn¡¯t have been so badly hurt by you.¡¯ Kisa turned to her side, and their backs faced each other. With a soft click of the light switch, the room instantly plunged into darkness. The two were lying on the same bed, but neither spoke up. Although they were side by side, the room was filled with loneliness. The next day, Kisa was surprised to find that Gilbert was still in the room when she woke up. The man had always been an early bird. The two had quarreled the night before, so she thought he would have left early in the morning. But the man was fully dressed and sitting by the window reading a book. When he saw that she was awake, he nced at her with no intention of speaking. Kisa was too embarrassed to talk to him first because of what had happened. She got up, took her clothes, and went straight to the bathroom. Maybe it was because of the man¡¯s presence that she slept soundlyst night without having any dreams. There were no scary words drawn on the mirror, and everything in the room was normal. The panic in her heart had dissipated. Kisa quickly changed her clothes and briefly washed her face. When she came out of the bathroom, she froze as she saw Arthur in the room. Gilbert was still sitting by the window; his posture did not change, only his face became much darker. On the other hand, Arthur stood stiffly against the wall like he was being punished. When he saw here out of the bathroom, he let out a sigh of relief. ¡°You¡¯re finally here!¡± Kisa smiled at him in surprise and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? What do you need me for so early in the morning?¡± ¡°Early in the morning?¡± Arthur nced at her contemptuously. ¡°Kisa, you must have slept veryte.st night. It¡¯s not early in the morning.¡± Kisa looked at him, doubtful, as she walked to the bed and picked up her phone to check the time.¡¯ What?! It¡¯s already 11 in the morning?!¡± Kisa suffered from insomniast night. Although she had slepttest night, she had never woken up thiste before. ¡°Kisa, I¡¯m going to visit my aunt. Let¡¯s go together.¡± This is from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Okay,¡± Kisa nodded, tied her hair up casually, and followed Arthur outside. They ignored Gilbert as if he was invisible to them. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1272 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1272 Chapter 1272 I Can¡¯t Have Two Husbands, Can I? After Kisa and Arthur left the room, Gilbert mmed the book on the table with a gloomy look on his handsome face. ¡°Kisa, did you have a fight with your husband?¡± Arthur asked abruptly as they walked on the gravel road in the backyard. Kisa was taken aback when she heard that. She smiled in surprise and said, ¡°No. Why?¡± ¡°Well, when I went to your room to look for you, I saw his face, and it was terrifying, especially when he looked at me. It was like he was going to eat me alive. Did you guys have a fight before I went into the room?¡± ¡°Nah,¡± Kisa awkwardlyughed. ¡®Ugh, why does that man always have to look so gloomy and scary? Can¡¯t he control his facial expressions? We¡¯re just guests at the Mullen residence, for goodness sake.¡¯ ¡°Kisa, I¡¯m not sure if it¡¯s my imagination, but I think your husband hates me.¡± N?velDrama.Org holds this content. ¡®Oof. This little dude is rather straightforward, but he¡¯s not wrong.¡¯ Kisa thought. She smiled at him. and said, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s not that. He was just in a bad mood when you came in.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. For a second there, I thought I did something wrong,¡± Arthur sighed. ¡°By the way, you told my aunt that your husband hurt you deeply. Is he¡­ the same person as this one?¡± he asked again after some time. ¡°Well, yeah. I can¡¯t have two husbands, can I?¡± ¡°No¡­ I mean, why are you together if he hurt you? I mean, you were almost killed, and you lost your child. How could you forgive him?¡± The smile on Kisa¡¯s face disappeared. ¡°Who said I forgave him?¡± She said casually. ¡°Then¡­ Why are you still with him?¡± Kisa looked at Arthur and asked with a faint smile, ¡°Does being together mean forgiveness?¡± ¡°I-Isn¡¯t it..?¡± Arthur was confused. Kisa smiled and patted him on the shoulder. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re still young, and you haven¡¯t experienced much in the world yet. You¡¯ll know why when the timees.¡± ¡°You sound just like my uncle. He told me adult rtionships are tough. But, I¡¯m not a little kid anymore. I¡¯m already 18!¡± Kisa was slightly taken aback when she heard that. In her opinion, Anthony was cruel and did not understand emotions. She did not expect him to talk about rtionships with Arthur. ¡°I¡¯m not sure what my uncle is up to recently. He keepsing home atte hours, and he rarely sees anyone during the day. He agreed to y with me during my vacation, but I don¡¯t even get to see him much,¡± Arthur said. At that moment, Kisa thought of Lea. If Anthony was sincere about treating Lea well, Kisa would ignore what happened in the past and wish them a good life. But, she was afraid that the man. would severely hurt Lea, which would eventually lead to an unnecessary tragedy. Kisa saw what had happened that day. ¡®Anthony would not let anyone hurt Lea if he actually liked. 2/2 her. But, why did he take her to the banquet if he didn¡¯t have feelings for her? Plus, he should already know that she exposed herself and was no longer a pawn for his use. Why did he still hold onto her?¡¯ Just as Kisa was thinking about it, the two of them reached Vivian¡¯s courtyard. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1273 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1273 Chapter 1273 She is Not Willing to Forgive Him Kisa saw that Vivian¡¯splexion was much better than yesterday. Maybe it was the warm sun in the late autumn morning. Vivian was sitting in the courtyard with a nket and a book in herp. She leaned back on her wheelchair, and her eyes were slightly closed. It was a peaceful scene. Kisa was also happy to see that she was no longer sad. Arthur brought Vivian lots of snacks, books, and fun crafts, all in one bag. He dumped the things onto the table and yelled, ¡°Aunt Vivian, I¡¯m here to see you again!¡± Vivian slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Arthur and then at Kisa. Her gaze was not as cold and sharp as it had been yesterday. ¡°Ste, go make some tea,¡± she said to one of the servants. Kisa smiled faintly and sat at the table with Arthur. He was a chatterbox, introducing Vivian to all kinds of stuff. Vivian listened to him calmly. asionally, a smile would appear on the corner of her lips. ¡°Arthur has quite the charisma. He¡¯s somewhat capable of coaxing people and enlivening the atmosphere, Kisa thought as she listened to him on the side, drinking her tea. She wanted to ask. Vivian about David, but she knew that it was not the time since she had note out of it yet. After a long time, Vivian spoke. ¡°Ms. Becker, I heard you¡¯re here to visit my family with your husband.¡± She emphasized the word ¡°husband¡± as if she suspected that the painful experience Kisa told her aboutst night was a lie. However, the injury on her back was not fake, so she was still unsure about it. ¡°Yes. I¡¯m here with my husband, the man I told you about, the one who hurt me the most,¡± Kisa replied. ¡°So, you forgave him?¡± Vivian¡¯s tone was slightly mocking. ¡®That¡¯s understandable. I wouldn¡¯t believe it myself if I forgave someone for causing me that much pain. Though, it¡¯s indisputable that I still have feelings for him. This is so contradictory of me,¡± she thought. Kisa then looked at Vivian and said with a faint smile, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t call it forgiveness. In the beginning, I went back to him to get revenge.¡± ¡°What about now?¡± Outside the yard, Gilbert was quietly leaning against the wall. The sparks from his cigarette were flickering under the autumn wind. ¡°Now..?¡± Kisa smiled absentmindedly. ¡°I don¡¯t really know, but it¡¯s not forgiveness. That¡¯s for sure.¡± ¡®Not forgiveness, huh? Gilbert¡¯s lips curved up slightly in self-deprecation and gloom. ¡®Of course, she wouldn¡¯t forgive me. She never will.¡¯ Vivian stared at Kisa for a while and suddenly seemed to understand something. She smiled sadly and said, ¡°I guess we fell too hard in love. So much that we can¡¯t bear to let it go, even after being hurt.¡± ¡°Do you hate him?¡± Kisa asked. ¡°Of course. But¡­ I want to see him more than I hate him. I want to ask him why he lied.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, you should snap out of it, stand up, and go look for him. You can take your revenge when you find him. Isn¡¯t that better than you being sad and depressed?¡± ¡°Stand up? It¡¯s easier said than done, Ms. Becker. My legs.. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Ms. Mullen. I know a man with excellent medical skills. I¡¯ll ask him toe see you in two days.¡± N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Vivian¡¯s eyes lit up, but suddenly, a voice came from outside the courtyard. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1274 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1274 Chapter 1274 Like A Taboo "Hey, Mr. Kooper. Are you here to see Ms. Mullen? Why are you standing outside? Just go in.¡± It was Adrien''s voice. He even called Gilbert "Mr. Kooper". Kisa''s heart trembled for a moment, and her back stiffened up. ¡®Why is Gilbert here? He should have gone out of this ce long ago with how gloomy he was this morning.¡¯ Just as she was thinking about it, Adrien and Gilbert had already walked in. Vivian looked at Kisa, and after a while, she nced at the two new visitors. To Kisa''s relief, Vivian did not go crazy like she did two days ago when she saw Acrien. However, there was obvious resentment and hostility toward Gilbert in her eyes. "You''re... from the Kooper family?" She asked Gilbert coldly. "Yes, I''m from the Kooper family in Calthon. David Kooper is my uncle,¡± Gilbert replied, not intending to hide anything. Kisa subconsciously nced at Adrien. She saw that he had his hands behind his back and was expressionless. Vivian''s face began to show the distorted look of hatred from the previous days. ¡°Hurry up and leave. Don''t stay here and provoke Ms. Mullen!" Kisa hastily growled at Gilbert, but he ignored her. "I Know my uncle hurt you back then, and I apologize on his behalf," Gilbert said sincerely. "Get lost! No one wants your fake apology." Vivian stared at Gilbert coldly, and her face was full of hatred. "Your family is full of hypocritical, disgusting, cruel, and ruthless people. Your uncle was cruel and ruthless, and so are you! I can assure you, none of your family members have a heart!" Gilbert tightened his fists and looked at Kisa with a dark gaze, but Kisa did not look at him. Instead, she just stared elsewhere with a cold face. All Gilbert saw was her indifferent side. Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Adrien suddenly smiled at Vivian and said, "Please forgive Mr. Kooper, Ms. Mullen. His apology was sincere. Plus, his uncle''s the one who hurt you, not him.¡± "What difference does it make? The Kooper family is vicious and evil. None of them deserve forgiveness.¡± After saying that, Vivian yelled at Gilbert in hatred, "Get out! I don''t ept your apology. If that apology is actually sincere, have your unclee here and apologize. Don''t think that hiding him away would solve anything!¡± This is from N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert looked at Vivian calmly. "Could you please tell me what my uncle did to you back then?" That topic was like a taboo. Vivian squeezed the armrest of her wheelchair immediately, and her whole body was trembling slightly because of the intense emotion she was feeling. Her pale face began to look twisted again, and her eyes slowly turned red. She was filled with hatred and grief. Kisa knew that things were not looking good, so she knelt and hugged Vivian as she yelled, "She doesn''t want to see anyone from the Kooper family, so get lost!" Gilbert did not budge. "Gol" Kisa yelled again anxiously. ¡®If Vivian were to go crazy, it would attract the attention of Mr. and Mrs. Mullen Sr., and we would definitely be chased out of here. And, I can¡¯t leave now. I haven''t found out more about David yet. I know that many of the secrets in this yard are somehow rted to me. Otherwise, why would I always feel that there was an unusual gaze staring at me in this backyard?¡¯ "What he did to me... What he did to me..." Vivian repeated the sentence with strong emotions as if she was recalling the unbearable events. Kisa hugged her tightly and said, "You''re okay, Ms. Mullen. It''s over. It''s over..." After saying that, she red at Gilbert once again. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1275 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1275 Chapter 1275 That Person Does Not Exist ¡°Aren''t you going to leave?!" Gilbert clenched his fists as he turned around and walked out of the yard. Kisa stroked Vivian''s back and whispered, "It''s okay. The person from the Kooper family has left. It''s okay. It''s all over now...¡± ¡°Arthur, pour her a cup of tea,¡± she said to Arthur. He quickly handed over the cup of tea, and Kisa let Vivian have a few sips. She gradually calmed down after that. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. Adrien was standing at the side. Kisa nced at him and asked, "Are you here to see Ms. Mullen today too, Uncle Tanner?" "Well, Mr. Mullen Sr. and I are good friends. Ms. Mullen mistook me for that person, so Mrs. Mullen Sr. asked me toe andfort her. "Hah!" Vivian suddenly sneered. "But, you''re not him," she said with a smile as she looked at Adrien with scarlet eyes. The look in her eyes was "You told me you wanted to help someone pass me a message. That person is him, correct? Where is he?¡± Vivian stared at him and asked with a tense tone while Kisa secretly watched Adrien''s expression. "That person I talked about doesn''t exist," Adrien chuckled lightly. "What does that mean?" Vivian frowned fiercely and asked. "Mr. Mullen Sr. has been troubled by your affairs for the past few years, so I know about them too. So, as a birthday present to him, I decided to lie to cheer you up. I made everything up so that you could get back on your feet.¡± "Ha... Ha-ha..." Vivianughed stiffly, as her face was full of tears. She mocked herself and said, "You guys worked so hard just to cheer me up." "You should think more about your parents. You should try to live a better life fortneir sake.¡± "Get out! I don''t need you to worry about my problems!" Vivian immediately yelled in repulsion. The next second, she stared into Adrien¡¯s eyes again with grief and sorrow stered across her face. Why did you lie to me, David..? Why did you have to do this to me..?" Kisa''s heart sank. ¡®Does she think he is David again?" ¡°I''m afraid you have the wrong person, Ms. Mullen," Adrien said in a light tone. Vivian stared at him for a long time, then lowered her head and wiped her tears sadly. "I know... You''re not him, but your eyes and your voice... It''s so simr to his." Kisa turned to look at Vivian and said, "There are many people who look or sound alike in this world. He really isn''t David; he''s my Uncle Tanner." ¡®Adrien would probably let his guard down after hearing me say that. There must be a reason why he came back here with a different identity. I can''t let him know that I''m onto him.¡¯ Adrien stayed in the yard for a while before leaving. When he left, Vivian stared at his back obsessively and murmured, "They really are simr.Everything about him is precisely the same, except for his face. But, I know that''s not him. He''s a ruthless man. Why would he evere here and see me?" Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1276 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1276 Chapter 1276 You Think I''m Lying? Kisa followed her gaze and looked at Adrien''s back. Many questions popped up in her head. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Adrien was David Kooper. Otherwise, why would he show such concern to Ms. Mullen?¡¯ Ever since Adrien and Gilbert appeared, Vivian had been in a bad mood. Kisa held Vivian¡¯s hand tightly and said, "Don''t think too much about the past. The most important thing right now is for your leg to heal. I will contact my friend tonight and ask him toe as soon as possible." "Many doctors have looked at me and said that it''s hopeless,¡± Vivian said in a low voice. Kisa smiled at her and said, "Well, I was sentenced to death by many doctors back then, and I was indeed dying at that time. But, my friend was able to drag me back from hell. I believe that he can heal your legs.¡± Aglimmer of hope shed in Vivian''s dead eyes when she heard that. Kisa was relieved. "The weather is nice. You should call your friends and hang out with them.¡± Friends?¡± Vivian suddenly sneered. "I haven''t had a friend in a long time since I lived in this tiny ce. I don''t even know what''s going on outside these doors.¡± Kisa frowned fiercely, suddenly remembering what Gilbert had said the night before. "I met a woman in the backyardst night. She said she was your friend,¡± Kisa tentatively said. "You might have mistaken. I don''t have any friends,¡± Vivian shook her head and replied. Doubt arose in Kisa''s heart. ¡®Why did the woman Gilbert chased after im to be Ms. Mullen''s friend? Her attire was casual, so she definitely wasn''t one of the servants. Who is she? Why did she lie to Gilbert? '' Kisa was still thinking about it after leaving Vivian''s ce. ¡®A woman who looked like Sara yet denied it and said that she was Ms. Mullen¡¯s friend... Something fishy is going on with that woman.¡¯ When Kisa passed the fake rock, a sudden force grabbed her by the arm. She screamed subconsciously and fell into a familiar embrace. As soon as she looked up, her gaze was met with Gilbert''s deep ck eyes. He reeked of tobo. "What are you doing here?" She asked, struggling to get away from Gilbert. When she looked down, she saw cigarette butts on the ground beside his feet. ¡®Has he been here all day since he left Ms. Mullen¡¯s ce? Was he waiting for me?¡¯ The man¡¯s face was dark and cold, maybe because the anger fromst night still lingered. Kisa did not understand why he pulled her over, so she asked again, "What are you doing here?¡± ¡°Nothing,¡± the man replied lightly and walked toward the vi. Kisa nced at his back inexplicably and hurriedly followed him. "Gilbert, did the woman you chased afterst night really say that she''s a friend of Ms. Mullen? 1¡¯ Gilbert stopped in his tracks immediately and squinted his eyes at her. "Why? Do you think I''m lying?" ¡°No, that''s not it,¡± Kisa whispered. "I just think that it''s a little strange." N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Gilbert ignored her and walked forward. His legs were long, so he was able to take big strides. Kisa was behind him, almost trotting all the way. Back in the room, Kisa was stunned. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1277 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1277 Chapter 1277 A Sin That the Kooper Family Committed The low stand by the window was kicked upside down. She looked at Gilbert who was calmly sitting in a chair. She was speechless as she said, ¡°Did you kick it?¡± He did not speak. He just pulled his tie. A hint of irritability could be seen on his gloomy face. I''m not sure what''s bothering him. ¡®But it''s very rude to kick something in someone else¡¯s house.¡¯ Kisa walked toward Gilbert as she frustratedly said, "Here''s the Mullen residence. You should clean up your act. The Mullen family might chase us out if you kick their things." "Do you think I''m afraid of them?" Gilbert raised his eyes to coldly stare at her. Kisa could not stand the way he looked at her. She softly said, "I didn''t say that you''re afraid of them. But you''re being very rude. After all, we''re their guests." Gilbert coldly sneered. He did not bother to talk to her. Kisa just ignored him when she saw his long face. She bent down to pick up the low stand. She then laid down on the bed. ¡®I feel sozy recently. I feel tired even without doing anything every day.¡¯ She felt sleepy shortly after sheid on the bed. It was very easy to fall asleep in the cool fall. Just when she almost fell asleep, Gilbert''s cold voice could suddenly be heard, ¡°How long are you nning to stay here?" Kisa opened her eyes. She only realized what he was asking after she was stunned for a moment. Shezily said, ¡°We''ll leave after I find out what happened to your uncle from Ms. Mullen.¡± Kisa suddenly thought of Vivian''s leg injury when she said that. Sheid down on her side with her eyes closed and said, "Call Kelvin and ask him if he cane over and look at Ms. Mullen''s legs." "You pay quite a lot of attention to Ms. Mullen,¡± Gilbert''s tone was nd. He was impersonal. Kisa slightly frowned as she said sarcastically, "This is a sin the Kooper familymitted. Shouldn''t you make up for it?" "So, you deeply resent the Kooper family just like her?" He still remembered how she had told him ¡°I do not forgive you". He still felt extremely ufortable until now because of that phrase. Kisa did not reply to him. Gilbert stared deeply at her silhouette which was inside the nket. He slowly clenched his hands on his knees. After a long pause, he asked in a deep voice, ¡°Kisa, do you not forgive me... No matter what?" She did not respond. The room only resounded with bouts of rhythmic breathing sounds. Gilbert got up and walked to the side of the bed.He lowered his eyes to nce at the woman on the bed. She was tightly closing her eyes as if she had fallen asleep. Gilbert suddenlyughed sardonically. His anger spiked. ¡®I''ve been unhappy sincest night, but she seems like nothing''s happened. She''s still got an appetite and can sleep like a log!" He clenched his fists and wanted to hit her body. But just when his fist touched her shoulder, he withdrew his hand. ¡®It''s fine. I won''t fuss about it for the sake of the baby in her stomach.¡¯ He went back to the window and took out his phone. He then called Kelvin. "Pack up. Come to the Mullen residence in Athadale immediately." At that time, Kelvin wasfortably enjoying the cool fall breeze in the yard. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. When he heard what Gilbert said, he suddenly did not feel rxed anymore. He scrunched his handsome face, ¡°Why? Why should I go to the Mullen residence?" "To treat Ms. Mullen''s legs.¡± ¡°I''m not going. I don''t know Ms. Mullen. Why should I travel so far to treat her legs?" ¡°Are youing?" ¡°I''m not going!" ¡°Are! You! Coming?!" ¡°I''m not... Beep..." Gilbert ended the phone call before Kelvin could finish his sentence. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1278 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1278 Chapter 1278 No Feelings or Dignity Kelvin frustratedly stared at his phone as he murmured, "He didn''t even exin it clearly. He merely asked me to go there. How can I go there just like that? So annoying!" Gracie noticed he was irritated when she served him the fruit tter she just made.She could not help but ask, ¡°What''s wrong?" Kelvin heavily sighed, "Help me pack two outfits. I have to go Athadale." "Did something happen?" Gracie worriedly asked. Kelvin stroked her hair as he said with a smile, "Nothing happened. Gilbert asked me to go there to treat his friend''s legs. I''m indebted to him my whole life.¡± Gracie amusingly nodded, ¡°That''s because you asked him for a lot of helo back then. If it wasn¡¯t for his help, we wouldn''t even be together.¡± Kelvin held her hand tightly as he sighed, "That''s true. That''s why I said I''m indebted to him.¡± Back at the Century Grand Hotel, it waste at night and this time, the man was acting crazier than ever before Lea clenched her teeth in agony. She did not dare to make any noise, because the more she resisted, the more ruthless his actions became. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. She could only carefully hold her tummy. She was deste and terrified. Right now, she could almost be sure that he would ask her to get an abortion if she told him she was pregnant. From the party until now, she finally came to her senses. ¡®He despises me. He doesn''t treat me as a human. In his eyes, I''m just like a prostitute for him to get rid of his sexual desires. To him, I have no feelings or dignity. Although this is a cruel and heartbreaking fact, I have to face it.¡¯ The man was finally satisfied. He left herying down there as she curled up and wept, staring at his cold back when he walked toward the bathroom. After a while, the man came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel. He dully nced at the mournful-looking woman on the bed. He inexplicably felt annoyed and disgusted. Yes. Disgusted! He was attracted to her body, but she disgusted him at the same time. Even he could not exin why he had such contradictory feelings. He was almost not willing to stay any longer. He dried himself with the towel before he picked up the clothes on the floor and wore them. He did not look at the woman on the bed at all. Soon, he was fully clothed. When he walked out of the door, he faintly said without even turning his head, "I probably won''te here for the next few days. If you need something, you should go and buy it yourself. Although I won''t limit your freedom, I won''t spare you if you run away or try to hide from me." He threw a credit card on the end of the bed after he said that. A hint of a miserable smile could be seen on Lea''s face as she stared at the card. ¡®I have indeed be a prostitute. I look just like a kept woman.¡¯ Back in the Mullen residence, Kisa woke up quite early. She looked at the time. It was eight in the morning. She sat up and saw Gilbert sitting next to the window. It was cloudy and the sky was gloomy, which made his face look dreary too. No one knew what was wrong with Gilbert for the past two days. He had been looking murky. His face was contorted with annoyance. The atmosphere in the room became a little dull because of him too. Kisa did not want to talk to him. She immediately went to the washroom after she got up. She came out of the washroom after she freshened up. Gilbert was still elegantly sitting in the chair. Of course, his face was still gloomy. Kisa did not want to stay in the same room with a person looking like that. She felt bored. Just when she wanted to go and see Ms. Mullen, her phone suddenly rang. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1279 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1279 Chapter 1279 Kids Nowadays Are So Superficial It was Felicity, "Hello, Kisa, what have you been doing in the Mullen residence for the past few days? Do you want toe shopping with me?" ¡°Nothing much. Where are you now?" ¡°I''m outside of the Mullen residence. I came by specially to ask you to go shopping with me. Do you want to go?" Kisa subconsciously nced at Gilbert. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Sure. I''lle out now." I¡¯d rather go shopping with Felicity than stay with this gloomy-looking man. ¡®Regarding the matter of David, I can only wait until Ms. Mullen gets better emotionally. I''ll only dare to ask her about it by then. ¡®As for the secret forbidden area in the backyard, I still need to think of a way to find and check it out.¡¯ Kisa quickly changed her clothes when she remembered Felicity was still waiting for her outside. She then grabbed her handbag and phone before she ran outside. "Stop. Where are you going?" A gloomy voice could suddenly be heard. Kisa stopped walking. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Tsk! ¡®I almost forgot he''s here. If he hadn''t spoken, I would''ve forgotten.¡¯ She turned around and frankly said, "I''m going shopping with Felicity. Do you want to join?¡± ",.. Get lost then!" Kisa was speechless. ¡®It''s getting increasingly harder to get along with him. But just when she stepped foot outside the door, he followed her. She ignored him and just went downstairs. As soon as she was downstairs, Kisa felt that the atmosphere in the Mullen residence today was not right. Normally, it was very quiet in the Mullen residence from daytime until nighttime. On the surface, they were a big family. All the Mullen family members lived together. But in fact, they were actually not really close. All of them just did their own thing separately. It was very rare to see them gather and chat together in the Mullen residence. But today, the maids were busy cleaning the living room. Mr., Mrs. Mullen Sr., and the daughters-inw of the Mullen family were all here. It felt like the Mullen family was celebrating something. Kisa curiously looked around. She asked Arthur who was beside her," What''s your family doing? Why''s it so lively suddenly?" While she asked that, breakfast suddenly appeared in front of her. It was two sandwiches and a boiled egg. Gilbert put the food inside a paper bag and handed it to her. Kisa stared at him as she took the food. Before she could speak, he walked outside with both of his hands inside his pockets. He looked cold and proud. Arthur nced at the breakfast in her hand. He smiled as he said, "Miss, seems like your husband treats you quite well.¡± ¡®He can tell that just because of one breakfast? Kids nowadays are so superficial! ¡°Answer my question. Don''t change the topic!" "Oh... I heard a famous magical doctor from Calthon called Kelvin ising to look at my aunt''s legs. So, my grandparents immediately ordered the maids to clean up the house. And they even made up a guest room for the doctor. We''re just waiting for the doctor to arrive now." Kisa was surprised, "Kelvin ising?" "Yes. I just knew about it too.¡± Kisa subconsciously looked in the main door direction. She then realized Gilbert was not there anymore. She squeezed the breakfast in her hand. She had mixed feelings. ¡®It seems like Gilbert asked Kelvin toe. Kelvin listens to Gilbert the most, so no one else could really make Kelvin do this. ¡®Gilbert always says mean things, but at least he does what needs to be done. ¡®Actually, if his tongue wasn''t so sharp, and he wasn''t such a gloomy spoilsport, maybe he''d actually be quite likable.¡¯ While she was thinking to herself, someone suddenly urged beside her. "Why did you just wake up now? Quick, quick... Don¡¯t make the other party wait. Hurry.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1280 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1280 Chapter 1280 Talking Bad About Him Behind His Back Kisa turned her eyes to look at her side. It was Jane. Jane was pulling Anthony hurriedly walking outside. Anthony fixed his cor. He looked impatient and irritated. But he did not shake off his mother''s hand. Arthur hastily asked Anthony, ¡®Uncle, where are you going so early in the morning?" "We have something to do. He''ll y with you when he''s back.¡¯ Jane grabbed Anthony''s hand and continued walking outside as she said that. Anthony nced at Kisa with his cold eyes as he sneered. Kisa confusedly stared at him. She did not know why he wasughing at her. Right after the two of them walked out of the house, Lydia and Gloria scornfully said at the side, "Aunty Jane''s probably taking Anthony to go on a date with Karen." Kisa frowned. ¡®Karen? ¡®The woman who beat Lea up at the party?¡¯ "Tsk. I heard that the Reyes family despises her and Anthony.¡± ¡°It''s not hard to understand. She should know that she''s from an inferior background. In the Mullen family, she''s even worse than the maids. Why''d the Reyes family respect them?" "But Karen is really interested in Anthony. No wonder Aunty Jane wants to butter up Karen so much. She''s trying to make Anthony marry into the Reyes family, so that they can establish themselves in the Mullen family and raise their social standing.¡± "Nah. It''s not that easy. Moreover, so what if they can marry into the Reyes family? They''ll never get any of the Mullen family''s assets. They should be aware of their lowly status!" Kisa lowered her eyes. ¡®If Anthony gets together with Karen, what about Lea? ¡®Bute to think about it, it might not be a bad thing if Anthony and Karen get together. ¡®If they get together. Lea willpletely forget about him. And she won''t continue to waste her time on this man anymore. Also, she won''t have to suffer any longer from the pain that this man causes her. ¡®This is quite good.¡¯ Kisa hurriedly ran out of the Mullen residence. She immediately saw Felicity''s car stopped at the roadside. She quickly got in the car. She apologized, "Did you wait long?" "It''s fine. I was just doing my makeup," Felicity said as she looked in the mirror inside the car. Kisa turned around to take a look. She confusedly asked, "Davian isn''ting?" "Why would we need men when we go shopping?" Felicity zipped her makeup bag as she said. She then started the car. Kisa said with a smile, "That''s true.¡± She then took out the breakfast from the bag to quietly eat. Felicity nced at her. She suddenly asked, "Did you quarrel with Gilbert?" ¡°Ahem... Ahem, ahem...¡± Kisa suddenly choked. Felicity immediately threw a bottle for her. Kisa hurriedly opened the bottle and drank. She mumbled, "How could you tell?" "Just now when he came out from the Mullen residence, he looked very gloomy. He looked pissed off." Kisa wiped her mouth. She dully said, ¡°He¡¯s that kind of person. He''s always upset. He hates everyone!" Felicity suddenly felt pity for her, "Tsk. You have to be with such a dreary person every day. It''s so hard for you.¡± "I know right? He''s getting harder to get along with. Back then, his mood was just unpredictable, and he¡¯d get angry randomly. But now, he''s just gloomy every day. It affects my mood negatively just by looking at his face. This is from N?velDrama.Org. She continued on, "If we weren''t living in someone else''s ce right now, I wouldn''t want to stay in the same room with him. He gives me attitude every day. Who does he think he is? He''s always looking as if someone owes him money or something.¡± After everything she had gone through for the past two days, Kisa could not take it anymore. She comined about all his shorings all in one go. Inside another car, Gilbert looked unhappy as he stared at the phone beside him. Chapter 1281 Chapter 1281 Chapter 1281 This Woman¡¯s Screwed Me Over On the phone, Kisa was disgusted and continued to talk badly about Gilbert and kept insulting him repeatedly. ¡°Only his looks are nice His temper is horrible I can honestly say that no woman can endure it.¡± ¡°Tsk, no need to be so harsh on him. He still has some good qualities.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wrong. I¡¯ve had enough of him. He always says nothing and just sits there looking unhappy. I didn¡¯t even make him angry, so why does he keep giving me attitude? Seriously! Kisa continued, Tm telling you; he¡¯s been this cold since we were kids. After he grew up, he became all full of himself and now he thinks he¡¯s all cool and stuff, but to be honest, he¡¯s just annoying!¡± ¡°Kisa!¡± Kisa was furiouslyining about Gilbert but was suddenly interrupted as the sound of someone¡¯s angry voice through clenched teeth echoed in the car Kisa flinched as she squeezed the sandwiches in her hand until they changed shape She mechanically turned her head and asked Felicity. ¡°I think I heard Gilbert¡¯s voice just now.¡± ¡°H think I heard it too,¡± Felicity was shocked as she said. After a moment of pondering, she suddenly seemed like she remembered something and quickly pulled over to the sidewalk. ¡°Ah, I forgot. I was having a video call with Davian earlier, before you got in the car And then i forgot about it. So¡­ I think the video call is still ongoing.¡± Felicity¡¯s voice gradually lowered to a whisper as she finished her sentence She even sounded sympathetic and truly sorry. Kisa rolled her eyes. This woman¡¯s really screwed me over this time.¡± Felicity quickly found her phone and saw that the video call had just ended. She apologetically looked at Kisa, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I really forgot about it. But Gilbert loves you so much. I think he wouldn¡¯t do anything bad to you even if you said so many mean things about him. Don¡¯t worry.¡± This unreliable woman even patted Kisa¡¯s head with a smile as she said that. Kisa stiffly smiled. He would not do anything bad to her But what she had to face in the future was probably even more of his cold expression and unhappy face. This silent treatment would hurt her more than him physically beating her up. In the car, Davian was touching his phone which was broken into two. He was too sad to cry. Mr Kooper¡¯s bad habit of breaking things when he¡¯s mad is so terrible. It¡¯s really awful! Gilbert noticed Davian¡¯s gloomy face. He expressionlessly said, ¡°I¡¯ll buy you two new ones.¡± ¡®Two? It sounds like I profited from it, but I don¡¯t care about the phone. What I care about are the photos with Felicity and the sweet conversation between us. Sigh! Mr Kooper¡¯s temper really is getting worse. No wonder Ms. Kooper keepsining about him.¡± Back at the Century Grand Hotel, Lea was woken up by the pain in her belly. She struggled as she sat up. As she threw off the quilt, she saw that the sheets were stained with blood. Her face was pale for a moment. She hurriedly got up and went to the washroom. She was indeed bleeding! Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. She held her stomach which was slightly swollen. She was getting increasingly terrified. Without stopping to think, she hastily changed her outfits. She then packed her bag and went to the hospital. She went for an ultrasound and a blood test. The results came out very quickly. She took the blood test results and the ultrasound report for the doctor to see. She nervously asked, ¡°Doctor, is the baby in my belly okay?¡± The doctor slightly frowned. Lea saw that. She subconsciously clenched the corner of her shirt. She was getting more nervous ¡°Where¡¯s your husband?¡± The doctor put down the reports as he asked Lea Lea¡¯s expression turned gloomy. She muttered, ¡°He¡¯s busy with work.¡± ¡°Here¡¯s the thing¡­ The doctor was serious as he said, ¡°There are signs of miscarriage.¡± ¡°What?¡± Lea¡¯s face was pale suddenly. Chapter 1282 Chapter 1282 Chapter 1282 Desperate Position The doctor hurriedly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry I¡¯ll arrange for you to have progesterone injectionster. and I¡¯ll also give you some pills to treat the fertility problem. Once you¡¯re back home, take the pills every day as instructed¡± Lea nodded. She still worriedly asked, ¡°So, is my baby all right? Can I keep this baby?¡± ¡°Regarding this¡­ You have to be more careful if you want to keep the baby.¡± The doctor awkwardly said, ¡°In the future, try not to have sexual intercourse Even if you really want to do it, don¡¯t do it too intensely. And you need to rest more in bed. Refrain from strenuous exercise.¡± Lea listened and did not care about the embarrassment or feel awkward. She just nodded. For the past few days, Anthony had indeed kept having s*x with her carelessly and aggressively, without caring about her health or her feelings. Sometimes, even she could not bear the pain he caused her, let alone this vulnerable fetus. Lea was injected with progesterone and felt much more reassured. After taking the medicine, she walked out of the hospital. She did not manage to get a taxi after waiting for a few minutes in front of the hospital. She then aimlessly walked alongside the roadside. She was still thinking about the doctor¡¯s warnings and suggestions. They were like a hunk of concrete inside her. It made her suffocate. She knew if Anthony continued to carelessly have s*x with her, she would probably lose the baby. If she really wanted to save the baby, her only option was to stay away from him. ¡°But how can I escape when he¡¯s so powerful and influential? He also warned me that if I escape. or hide, he won¡¯t spare me. He¡¯s cruel and heartless, so obviously what he meant was that he¡¯d kill me. So, I can¡¯t escape, nor do I dare to ¡°What should I do? There¡¯s no way I can avoid him, but I really want to keep this baby. What can I do? She began to cry silently as tears fell from her eyes. She felt extremely helpless and sad. ¡®What if¡­I just tell him about the baby? At least¡­ I still can try to make a deal with him. I know I have no right to make demands, but I have to at least try my best to keep this baby. This way, I can know what he thinks about the baby. There¡¯s nothing else I can do anyway, so I¡¯ll just tell him about it. Even if I¡¯m risking my life, I¡¯ll beg him to let me keep this baby. If he¡¯s really so cruel and doesn¡¯t want this baby, then¡­ I¡¯ll leave him with this baby. I won¡¯t have any regrets or grief.¡± After she made the decision, she immediately took out her phone from her bag, but she still hesitated for a few seconds after finding Anthony¡¯s number on her contacts list. If she had not been in such a desperate position, she would never tell him about the baby, since she already knew how ruthless and heartless he was. Lea watched as the call dialed in, her heart beating anxiously. In a restaurant, Anthony took out his phone and nced at it. He then immediately rejected the call. Karen looked at his phone as she asked with a smile, ¡°Who called you? Why didn¡¯t you answer it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just an irrelevant phone call. It¡¯s fine if I don¡¯t answer it,¡± Anthony casually said as he grabbed a napkin to wipe his hand. Jane hurriedly said, ¡°Anthony is eating with you two. Even if a king or a world leader calls him, he wouldn¡¯t answer it. After all, nothing is more important than you two.¡± N?velDrama.Org holds this content. They were eating with Karen and La Reyes. Jane was so obviously trying to tter and impress them. Anthony felt disgusted and irritated as he saw that It was pathetic because this shameless and undignified woman was his mother As her son, even if he hated what she did and was disgusted by it, he could not make her look bad or embarrass her He suddenly got up¡­ Chapter 1283 Chapter 1283 Chapter 1283 Got Beaten ¡°Since you¡¯re all done eating, I¡¯ll drive the car over You all just wait for me by the entrance,¡± Anthony said. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. Then, he walked to the parking lot without looking Karen and La in the eyes. ¡°Even though I¡¯m a womanizer, I¡¯m not interested in arrogant women like those in the Reyes family. he thought. Right after Anthony left, Jane hurriedly smiled at La and Karen, ¡°Look at how sensible my son is; he¡¯s purposefully driving the car over from the parking lot as if he doesn¡¯t want Karen to walk.¡± Karen¡¯s face brimmed with joy and embarrassment. La snorted, ¡°Do you hear yourself? From what I see, he seems very cold. I wonder if he¡¯s got a problem with my daughter ¡°No, no. Definitely not. It¡¯s an honor for Anthony to like someone as good as Karen,¡± Jane simpered in a panic. Just as La wanted to speak, Karen quickly grabbed her arm and said, ¡°Mom, stop picking on Anthony. He really is a great guy.¡± La nced at her daughter in resignation. So be it, then. While I look down on this mother and son, they¡¯re still a part of the Mullen family Anthony Mullen is still Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s biological son, so he¡¯ll still get some of his inheritance in the future. It seems like there¡¯ll still be some benefits if Karen and Anthony get married, La thought. Then, she stopped speaking. However, her gaze toward Jane had some contempt and disdain. Jane was aware the Reyes family looked down on her, but she had no choice. She had to find someone to back her son up so that she and her son could stand firmly in the Mullen family. When they left the restaurant, Karen immediately recognized Lea, who was walking across the street. ¡°You wench!¡± Karen growled lowly. Then, she quickly strode toward Lea. Seeing this, Jane paled and hurriedly ran after Karen. Meanwhile, La quickly followed them in confusion. ¡°B*tch!¡± Lea¡¯s phone coincidentally rang. While she stared at the iing caller ID in a daze, she suddenly got pped forcefully. Lea was caught off guard. She swayed violently and dropped her phone to the ground. On her phone screen, the caller ID clearly showed ¡°Anthony Mullen.¡± Seeing this, Karen¡¯s face contorted with anger ¡°You wench. You¡¯re still clinging to Anthony, aren¡¯t you? I¡¯m going to beat you to death, you shameless b*tch. I¡¯m going to beat you to death!¡± Lea was still in a daze after she got pped just now. For a moment, she felt dazed as her vision darkened. Before she could react, Karen pounced at her and pulled her hair Then, Karen repeatedly pped Lea¡¯s face. Jane hurriedly ran over When she saw the caller ID on the phone screen, she immediately squatted down and rejected the call. Then, she went to pull Karen and Lea apart. ¡°Stop it, Karen. Don¡¯t ruin your image because of a lowly woman. Karen, stop it.¡± Even though Jane was persuading Karen, she was dragging Lea away forcefully and roughly. Jane¡¯s rough force caused Lea to stumble a few steps backward. Karen had pulled away quite a few strands of her hair, so Lea gasped in pain. However, Karen refused to give up. Just as Jane pulled Lea away, Karen lifted her foot and violently kicked Lea. Lea immediately paled and desperately tried to shield her stomach with her hands. Unfortunately, both her hands were grabbed tightly by Jane. She could only watch fearfully as Karen forcefully kicked her stomach. ¡°No!¡± Chapter 1284 Chapter 1284 Chapter 1284 How Could This Kill Her? A scream rang through the street, turning the heads of those passing by. Jane was startled and instinctively released Lea. Lea¡¯s knees buckled and she fell right onto the ground. She felt a cramping pain in her stomach. It hurt so much that she curled up into a ball. This is from N?velDrama.Org. But aside from the wrenching pain she felt in her stomach, she also felt fear and hopelessness in her heart. La watched the woman on the ground as her face contorted in pain. She felt a little terrified She grabbed her daughter, ¡°What¡¯s this? Why did you hit her?¡± ¡°Mom, this is the b*tch who made a fool out of me during Mr. Mullen Sr ¡®s banquet. Hah. I searched high and low for her, yet this b*tch actually showed up right in front of me to let me beat her up!¡± La noticed that something was amiss with the woman on the ground. She could not help but tug on her daughter and said worriedly, ¡°Alright, she¡¯s just a lowly woman. Let¡¯s just ignore her and not escte the situation. Look at her, she looks like she¡¯s about to die. It¡¯s quite scary ¡°She¡¯s a lowly wench; she wouldn¡¯t die this easily!¡± Karen sneered. She continued, ¡°Besides, didn¡¯t I only p her a few times and kick her once? How could this kill her? If that¡¯s the case, then her life is too fragile. Hah. Look at her painful expression. She¡¯s probably faking it. I¡¯m going to kick her to death!¡± Karen said as she lifted her leg and prepared to kick Lea again. Suddenly, they heard a low growl, ¡°What are you all doing?¡± It was Anthony¡¯s voice. Karen¡¯s leg froze mid-air Anthony strode over. When he saw the woman curled up on the floor, he immediately paled. He felt his heart sink. Just as he was about to help the woman up, Jane stopped him, She grabbed his arm and desperately shook her head at him. Then, she quickly smiled, ¡°Anthony, didn¡¯t you say you¡¯ll take Karen around? Let¡¯s ignore this lowly woman and go.¡± ¡°Help¡­ Help me¡­¡± Lea gripped her stomach with one hand and reached out to Anthony with another. Her pale face brimmed with agony and hopelessness. She wanted him to save the child. She wanted him to save their child. However, the pain in her stomach had practically taken over her mind, causing her to lose to the ability to form a full sentence. ¡°Anthony, I¡¯m begging you. Stop getting involved with this lowly woman. Did you forget how I was treated in the Mullen family? She can¡¯t help your future in any way and will only drag you down. She¡¯ll only make the people around you ridicule and humiliate you. Anthony, my intentions are for your sake, do you understand?¡± Jane twisted her words and found an angle where no one could see her actions and pleaded with Anthony through tears. She begged him in a soft voice that only the two of them could hear Anthony tightened his hands by his side. For a while, he was silent. Karen was worried Anthony would me her for her actions, so she quickly defended herself,¡± This woman suddenly ran over to pick a fight with me first Besides, I didn¡¯t do anything to her She wanted to hit me, so I kicked her once out of self-defense. But she took advantage of her period and pretended to y dead while lying on the ground as if she were about to die. She¡¯s doing this to make you pity her Only lowly women like her would pull disgusting tricks like that Don¡¯t get fooled by her, Anthony¡± ¡®Period?¡¯ wondered Anthony. Then, he nced at the bloodstain on Lea¡¯s pants. ¡®So it¡¯s her period, he thought. He chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m not that silly. Come on, it¡¯s not worth it getting our moods ruined by a lowly woman. After hearing his words, Jane immediately sighed in relief. Anthony led Karen into the car beside them without sparing Lea another nce Lea stared hopelessly at his retreating back. Then, her vision gradually blurred. ¡°Stop the car! Quick, stop the car!* Chapter 1285 Chapter 1285 Chapter 1285 The Child Is Gone Kisa was leaning against the car window and enjoying the cold air when she saw a familiar figure. Her heart sank, and she quickly shouted for Felicity. Felicity stopped the car at the side of the road and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Kisa did not have the time to respond. She quickly got out of the car and yelled, ¡°Lea!¡± She ran over to Lea, shocked when she saw the pale and distorted look on her face. There was blood on her pants. ¡°W-What happened? W-Who did this?¡± Kisa said in a trembling voice. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. She looked around, feeling sad and angry, when she suddenly saw the backs of Anthony Mullen and Karen Reyes. An intense rage suddenly arose in her heart. She wanted to avenge Lea by teaching them a lesson. Suddenly, Lea grabbed the corner of Kisa¡¯s clothes and said, ¡°S-Save Save my child. ¡°Lea¡¯s lips. turned pale. She was too weak and injured to speak properly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry I¡¯ll take you to the hospital right away it¡¯s okay Everything is going to be fine.¡± Kisa was so scared for her friend that tears began to flow from her eyes. There was a hospital not far from where they were They reached it by car in only a few minutes As she watched Lea being pushed into the emergency room, Kisa felt a chill run down her spine. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. She¡¯ll be fine,¡± Felicity hugged her and said. Kisa remained silent. Her eyes were fixated on the door of the emergency room. Felicity let out a soft sigh. She did not know how to console Kisa, so she just sat with her in silence. After a long time, the door of the emergency room finally opened. Kisa saw the blood inside the room, and her heart went cold. Maybe it was because she sat for too long, when she stood up, she could not keep her bnce and almost fell. Felicity was the one who quickly supported her Kisa walked to the emergency room door with a heavy heart and asked the doctor, ¡°How is she?¡± ¡°We weren¡¯t able to save the child. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Kisa choked up in pain. Felicity hugged her and started to feel sad as well. Lea was transferred to a single ward. Kisa asked Felicity to go back first while she stayed with. Lea. There was still a red and swollen palm mark on Lea¡¯s face as tears filled the corners of her eyes. Even in aa, her hands still covered her abdomen, like she was protecting her child. ¡°My child¡­ Save my child, Anthony Please I¡¯m begging you. Save my child¡­¡± Lea murmured sadly Her eyes were closed, but tears flowed down her face. Her voice was hoarse, flustered, and desperate Kisa bit her lip in difort. ¡°I can¡¯t believe she still relies on that man while he treats her like sh*t.¡¯ She held Lea¡¯s hand tightly and said in a gentle voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared. It¡¯s okay. Just rest. Everything will be fine.¡± From the soothing effect of Kisa¡¯s voice, Lea gradually calmed down. Kisa then got up and went to the door She leaned against it and took a deep, long breath, but she could not suppress the grief and anger in her heart. She took out her phone and searched for Anthony¡¯s number ¡®I think I have that ¡°sshole¡¯s number here somewhere I want him to visit no matter what I want him to see for himself how he¡¯s hurt the woman who loved her While scrolling through her phone, she came upon an article on an entertainment news tform She wanted to exit the news, but the headline and picture grabbed her attention. In an instant, the grief in her heart could no longer be suppressed. Chapter 1286 Chapter 1286 Chapter 1286 Stop Her From Doing Something Stupid [A Match Made in Heaven-Athadale Marriage Between the Young Master of the Mullen Family and the Little Princess of the Reyes Family] Under the dazzling headline was a picture of Anthony dancing with Karen. There was also a picture of him smiling at her as he held her waist. The two of them really looked like a match made in heaven. Kisa stared fiercely at her phone, her face full of ridicule and bitterness. She scrolled down the news and looked for an address. She put away her phone and walked toward the elevator. Before she left the hospital, she hired a temporary nurse to help take care of Lea. Anthony and Karen were having fun in the most romantic bar in Athadale while Lea had lost her child and was lying unconscious in the hospital. Kisa¡¯s heart filled with grief and indignation when she thought of Lea¡¯s condition. Ugh. If he wants to climb the ranks of the Reyes family, so be it. I will help them fulfill their wish.¡± Felicity drove into the yard, and before she got out of the car, Davian greeted him graciously How was shopping day, Felicity? Do you need any help carrying in the things you bought today?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t buy anything,¡± Felicity said in a muffled voice and proceeded to get out of the car. Davian stared at her sullen face and bent over to look into the car. ¡°Where¡¯s Mrs. Kooper? Did you lose her?¡± he asked in surprise. When Felicity was walking toward the house, she saw a man sitting in a wooden chair under a big tree. The man stared at her with a highly gloomy gaze as if he had lost his wife somewhere. Felicity sat over and said, ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. I didn¡¯t lose her. She¡¯s at the hospital taking care of her friend.¡± Gilbert narrowed his eyes slightly. ¡°What friend?¡± ¡°Mrs. Kooper doesn¡¯t seem to have any friends in Athadale, Felicity.¡± Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. ¡°I don¡¯t know. It¡¯s a woman named Lea or something, the one beaten up by Karen at the banquet?¡± ¡°Lea Garner?¡± ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s it,¡± Felicity said. She then suddenly sighed. ¡°That poor woman lost her child. Kisa was so sad and angry at the man who caused it, and she said she wanted to make him pay the price. I¡¯m thinking it¡¯s Anthony, but he¡¯s having fun with Karen at the bar right now; the news reported it. It¡¯s a pity that Lea fell for such a heartless piece of trash.¡± After hearing that, Gilbert suddenly stood up and walked to the car. Felicity was taken aback by his action and quickly asked, ¡°Where are you going? Kisa is probably going toe overter¡±¡± I¡¯m going to stop her from doing something stupid Gilbert said without looking back. He got in the car, started the engine, and sped out of the front yard. Felicity was still immersed in Lea¡¯s tragedy ¡°That¡¯s why we keep our eyes open when falling for man Otherwise, we might die at his hands. After all, there are too many scumbags in this world I¡¯m not a scumbag, am I?¡± Davian hurriedly asked, trying to get reassurance from her Felicity looked at him and said with a fake smile, ¡°Nope, you definitely are a scumbag. In fact, you¡¯re a top certified scumbag.¡± The Sky Lounge was the most upscale bar in Athadale. The interior was not messy or overly extravagant Instead, the decor was exquisite, the management was orderly and the style and ambience was simply elegant. Only the rich and wealthy went to the Sky Lounge. At that moment, on the dazzlingly well-lit front stage of the bar, Anthony was proposing to Karen. Chapter 1287 Chapter 1287 Chapter 1287 Proposal Jane had nned this for a long time, and it was she who brought in all the reporters. She knew Karen liked Anthony, and if Anthony proposed, Karen would definitely say yes. As long as Karen said yes to Anthony¡¯s proposal in front of the press, the marriage between Anthony and Karen would be inevitable, even if the Reyes family disagreed. By now, La was looking not too happy Jane nced at her and chuckled as if nothing had happened. ¡°Mrs. Reyes, look, they¡¯re such a perfect match.¡± ¡°Heh, you¡¯re well prepared for this secret rendezvous, eh? I forgot that you¡¯ve always been a schemer You also used such a tactic when you first came to the Mullen family. I didn¡¯t expect that after all these years, you¡¯re still so insidious. I really underestimated you and your son.¡± La¡¯s voice was full of mockery and disdain. Janeughed, sounding indifferent. ¡°Don¡¯t say that. Look, Karen is happy. What¡¯s more important is that they are happy.¡± La looked at her with disgust, not wanting to talk to her. Satisfied, Jane smirked and looked toward the stage. On stage, Anthony looked a little gloomy. But for his mother¡¯s sake, he still handed a bouquet with a ring to Karen. Anthony could not care less, as he had no expectations of marriage anyway. It would be the same regardless of who he married. Since his mother wanted him to marry the woman before him, he would. ¡°Will you marry me?¡± he asked Karen without expression, his voice calm, devoid of emotions. Karen smiled happily and bashfully at his question. ¡°Who would want to marry you?¡± Karen pretended to y hard to get. Anthony sneered. ¡°So you¡¯re not willing to? Forget it then.¡± With that, he took the flowers back. Anxious, Karen grabbed the bouquet, not caring about her image ¡°Who says I¡¯m not willing? It¡¯s just that you didn¡¯t even bother to coax me.¡± ¡°So, by epting the flowers, you¡¯re agreeing to Anthony¡¯s proposal, aren¡¯t you?¡± Jane asked Karen, smiling to deliberately lighten up the atmosphere. ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± Karen looked bashful. ¡°Marriage is an important matter. I think it¡¯s better to think it over Let¡¯s talk it over between our two familiester,¡± La said with a faint smile. Anthony stood leisurely on the stage with one hand in his pocket, giving a pointed look at the two women under the stage. Karen nced at Anthony. She had liked Anthony for a long time. No way would she miss this opportunity when Anthony proposed to her She said to La, ¡°Mom, I have thought it over I love Anthony, and I want to marry him.¡± She looked at Anthony and said with determination, ¡°Anthony. I¡¯ll marry you!¡± There was a burst of apuse and blessings from under the stage. Congrattions to the Mullen family and the Reyes family!¡± Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. ¡°Mr. Mullen and Miss Reyes are a match made in heaven.¡± ¡°It looks like the Mullen and the Reyes are about to have a big celebration.¡± While people off the stage were all apuding, a cold and sarcasticugh from a woman rang through the room. It sounded incredibly jarring and instantly caught everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Anthony is truly a womanizer. He had just gotten rid of his own baby and then proposed to a rich girl. His ruthlessness is unparalleled.¡± Chapter 1288 Chapter 1288 Chapter 1288 Insisting on Meddling With the woman¡¯s loud voice interrupting, the people in the hall subconsciously split into two columns, all curiously looking toward the entrance. They saw a woman walking in with a sneer on her face Those who did not know her started to specte about her rtionship with Anthony Because of her remark, they wondered if she was pregnant with Anthony¡¯s baby, which Anthony had inadvertently killed. Did she then deliberately crash the party as a form of revenge? Kisa calmly met the strange stares of these people. She straightened her back and slowly walked to the stage. On the stage, Anthony looked at her quietly, his expression changing. Jane was the most anxious, while La was the happiest at this moment. La hurriedly came on stage and pulled Karen into her arms as if Anthony was a viin ying with Karen¡¯s feelings. Jane looked at Kisa Instead of showing anger, she smiled politely at Kisa, making Kisa look like she was really here to crash the party. ¡°I wonder what Mrs. Kooper just meant by that statement I know the Kooper family has always been at odds with the Mullen family, but please don¡¯t bring this kind of family feud to us personally. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. ¡°Mrs. Kooper? The Kooper family?¡± ¡°Oh, so, it really looks like it. She must be Mrs. Kooper of Calthon.¡± ¡°Yeah, she¡¯s also quite famous. No wonder she looks so familiar.¡± ¡°So it seems there¡¯s something going on between Mrs. Kooper and Anthony Mullen. The rtionships in these big families are a mess.¡± All sorts of chatter started with Jane¡¯s words. Jane felt even more anxious. She said to Kisa, ¡°Mrs. Kooper, if there¡¯s nothing else, please don¡¯t mess around here, or Mr. Kooper might misunderstand.¡± Kisa lowered her eyes and smiled. ¡°I am telling the truth. What¡¯s there to misunderstand? What are you worried about, Mrs. Mullen?¡± Jane was a nobody in the Mullen family. Kisa was being courteous when she called her Mrs. Mullen. Another chorus of sarcastic murmurings rose. The smile on Jane¡¯s face gradually stiffened. She looked at Kisa with a menacing look in her eyes. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, I¡¯ll say once more. If there is nothing else, please leave and don¡¯t meddle in the rtionship between my son and Karen.¡± ¡°What if I insist on meddling?¡± Kisa snickered and looked at Karen. ¡°Do you really dare marry a mean and ruthless man like him?¡± ¡°Hah, he¡¯s only mean and ruthless to you guys, not to me. Anthony treats me well. I will definitely marry him. You have no chance and are just being sour about it. Stop making trouble here.¡± Jane was relieved to hear what Karen said. But what Kisa said next struck her dumb. ¡°What if Anthony has a child with another woman?¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Jane shoved Kisa and snarled, ¡®Don¡¯t defame Anthony¡± ¡°Anthony loves me so much. Why would he have a child with another woman? You¡¯re just spewing nonsense because you¡¯re jealous that he proposed to me.¡± Pushed by Jane, the back of Kisa¡¯s waist knocked into the bar counter She gasped in pain as the impact hurt her belly. She then sneered and looked at Anthony ¡°I have sad news for you. Her baby is gone, and it¡¯s your baby ¡°Lea was dead set on not letting Anthony know about the baby¡¯s existence. But in the end, they killed her baby, and she was the only one who suffered Why? Anthony should know about it and be condemned by his conscience, Kisa thought. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1289 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1289 Chapter 1289 You Killed Your Own Child The look on Anthony¡¯s face changed. It became very dark and gloomy. He stared at Kisa and sneered. ¡°Did she ask you toe here and tell me this?¡± His tone sounded very cruel and unstable. It sent a chill down Kisa¡¯s spine. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Kisa felt very indignant on behalf of Lea. She looked into Anthony¡¯s eyes and said calmly, ¡°She¡¯s still in aa. I came here because I want to.¡± ¡°Anthony. you killed your own child.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Anthony got agitated suddenly and yelled That¡¯s impossible It¡¯s not possible that she was bearing my child. She has never told me about it.¡± 1 guess you¡¯re finally acknowledging her existence now, huh?¡± Kisa smirked sarcastically Then, she looked at La and Karen, who were already in shock ¡°Are you sure that you want to marry scum like this? Don¡¯t you have any other better options?¡± Heh. Anthony wants to be a part of the Reyes family, huh? In his dreams! They f*cked Lea over so badly I¡¯m not going to let any of them get away! La¡¯s heart sank after she thought about the woman whoy on the ground in pain with her face scrunched that day She pointed at Anthony angrily ¡°Anthony, that woman was bleeding down there when she was on the ground. It seems like she really had a baby! A baby that belonged to you! ¡°You¡¯re just a scumbag who likes to mess around with other women and get them pregnant I¡¯ll never allow you to marry my daughter!¡± La took the opportunity to call off the engagement since she had never liked Anthony anyway. and she hated his mother as well. Jane panicked as she quickly said to La with a smile ¡°Mrs. Reyes, please calm down. I¡¯m sure that we can talk this out. Obviously that woman is just trying to frame Anthony. Karen and Anthony look so good together and they love each other very much. We can¡¯t let an outsider ruin such a beautiful rtionship ¡°Yeah, mom. Anthony ¡°Shut up!¡± La shouted at Karen as soon as she spoke Tm d that we found out about this before you married him. Do you really want to see him bringing back a woman who has his baby and letting her take your ce? ¡°There¡¯ll be nothing you can do about it by then. Come on, let¡¯s go back now You should stop hanging out with a man like him. There are so many outstanding men waiting to propose to you. I honestly have no idea what you see in him ¡± La spoke as he grabbed Karen¡¯s arm and left. Jane immediately stood in their way Suddenly, a cold voice could be heard, and it came from Anthony ¡°Stand there!¡± He glowered at La and Karen. ¡°Who was the one who hit her? Do you remember who kicked her in the stomach?¡± Anthony asked thest question in an extremely frightening tone. Everybody was silent and the atmosphere turned very tense Karen was shocked as she stared nkly at Anthony Then, La said angrily. ¡°What are you talking about? Who the hell do you think you¡¯re talking to? Keep in mind that you¡¯re just a b*stard child that everybody in your family hates. You¡¯d better watch your tone!¡± La said without holding back Jane dared not to speak any further as she grabbed Anthony¡¯s arm and whispered, ¡°Anthony, what are you doing? Quick, apologize to Karen and Mrs. Reyes!¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Anthony shrugged Jane off and walked toward La and Karen grimly. His eyes looked so red, that he seemed like a bloodthirsty beast. ¡°I remember hearing you say that you kicked her Am I right?¡± he said, ring at Karen aggressively Kisa froze in ce while staring at Anthony. I didn¡¯t know that he actually cares about that baby.

It wasn¡¯t me¡­ ¡°Who was it then? Hm?¡± Anthony squinted as he spoke in a cold tone with a vicious look on his face. La got so scared, that she did not know what to say. Karen¡¯s hair stood on end after looking at his cold eyes. Suddenly, she shouted angrily, ¡°Yeah, it was me. She¡¯s just a cheap woman who sells liquor So what if I kicked her? Do you really believe that she had your baby just because she says so? ¡°The baby could be someone else¡¯s, and she just wants you to raise Ah..¡± Anthony grabbed Karen¡¯s hair and threw her to the ground before she could finish talking. La was appalled and she froze in ce. She watched her daughter getting thrown on the floor before she could realize what was happening.

She got so mad, that her body shook ¡°You cheap b*stard How dare you do this to my daughter You¡¯re doomed. I swear!¡± ¡°What are you going to do about it?

Anthony tried toy his hands on Karen again as if he had lost his mind. La held Karen in her arms and looked at him fearfully, ¡°H-How dare you! There are so many reporters here. Do you remember who you are? ¡°Your family takes their reputation very seriously.

She was the one who pinned that woman down when I kicked her ¡°Why don¡¯t you do the same to your mother too?¡± Anthony¡¯s whole body turned tense. He turned around slowly and looked at Jane. Jane was about to stop him from hitting Karen again, but she took a few steps back after looking at the horrifying expression on his face. She felt like she never understood her own son. Anthony is just like me. He hates how other people mocked him. He¡¯s always wanted toe out on top and earn himself a ce in the Mullen family. He would always make the best decision for himself, yet this time. Even though Jane was shocked and terrified at his actions, she was also worried for her son. I¡¯m afraid that Anthony will never be taken seriously anymore in the family if his father ever finds out about what happened today His father might even chase us out of the family and disown us.¡± She ignored Anthony¡¯s spiteful gaze when she thought about that as she grabbed his arm and said, ¡°Anthony, calm down. Karen might be right. That woman is so cheap, and she might be sleeping with plenty of other men too. That baby might not even be yours. It¡¯s a good thing that the baby is gone.

Everyone looked at the entrance and saw Gilbert walking in with his back against the light. Kisa looked dumbfounded, not expecting Gilbert to be here. She wondered if he had guessed she was here or if it was just a coincidence Gilbert¡¯s voice was intimidating, his presence even more so. Jane¡¯s hand stopped in mid-air as Gilbert approached. He stood behind Kisa like an immovable mountain, narrowing his cold eyes at Jane Jane shuddered involuntarily Gilbert had stayed in the Mullen residence for a few days and was humble and polite. But at this moment, that grim look in his eyes really frightened her She hurriedly withdrew her hand and took a couple of steps back. Gilbert stared at her and said slowly, ¡°Who did you just try to hit? My wife?¡± Jane shook her head andughed. ¡°You¡¯re mistaken, Mr. Kooper It was she who started the trouble While Anthony was proposing to Karen, she came to ruin the party. I know she has a friend who may have a grudge against Anthony, but she shouldn¡¯t have colluded with him to spoil Anthony¡¯s proposal to Karen.¡± ¡°So, you¡¯re saying I didn¡¯t control my wife well? Gilbert replied, his voice cold. Jane quickly shook her head. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant at all.¡± Gilbert smirked and then nced at Anthony. He saw Anthony, his eyes downcast, looking despondent as if thinking of something Gilbert said nothing. He just turned around, fixed Kisa¡¯s cor, and reproached her ¡°I told you not to be nosy, and you know I have a bad temper, don¡¯t you? If you get hurt and I attack his entire family because of it, the media will call me brutal and unforgiving, and that won¡¯t be good.¡± His voice was calm, and he even had a smile on his face, but everyone present felt a chill run down their spine. Gilbert did not look at the others. He brushed Kisa¡¯s hair from her face and whispered, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go home.¡± Kisa stared at him, stunned at his tenderness.

Now that she had achieved her objective, she thought it would be better for Anthony to ask Lea herself about the baby Anthony still refused to leave and insisted on finding out where Lea was. In the end, Jane had to force him to leave with the bodyguard. There was an uproar with all kinds of chatter inside the bar Karen red at Kisa with resentment as she and her mother left the bar it was only when Gilbert shot a stern look at Karen that she looked away After La and Karen left, Gilbert turned to look at Kisa, his voice nonchnt, but with a clear sense of reproach. Why did you try to be a hero?¡± ¡°I wasn¡¯t trying to be a hero. I was standing up for my friend,¡± Kisa said. ¡°First, ask yourself if you have that ability to stand up for someone.¡± Gilbert sneered. Kisa felt upset when she heard this. ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t have the ability, but at least I¡¯m not as cold- blooded and heartless as you are. So what if I¡¯m not capable? At least I¡¯ve spoiled their ns.¡± ¡°But did you ever stop to think for a moment that they would have hit you? If I hadn¡¯t arrived in I time, you might have gotten a good beating. Those people cannot be reasoned with. ¡°I don¡¯t care. The pain will be just physical, but at least I can do something for Lea and feel better that way.¡± ¡°Heh! Just physical pain? You make it sound so simple. Do you even know He nced at her belly for a second before looking away in a huff, ¡°Fine. You wouldn¡¯t understand even if I told your I¡¯m always the one who is worried about you, anyway.¡± Kisa was exasperated. ¡°Did you just say that you¡¯re worried about me? I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t really feel Gilbert¡¯s face turned stony, but his tone of voice remained calm. ¡°Of course you don¡¯t feel it because you have no conscience.¡± ¡°You make it sound as if you have a conscience ¡°Kisa snorted and turned around to walk toward the sidewalk. She wondered if it was because she had just bumped into the bar counter, her abdomen still hurt. She subconsciously stroked her belly as she went ahead to hail a cab. Gilbert red at her from behind and followed her. ¡°Let¡¯s go to Felicity¡¯s ce.¡± ¡°You go there first. I have to go to the hospital.¡± She was worried about Lea¡¯s condition, wondering if Lea had woken up yet. She knew Lea would not be able to ept the loss of her baby, and she did not know how Lea woulde out of this pain and gloom. While she was deep in thought, someone suddenly scooped her up.

Gilbert said nothing, silently carrying her to the car He then walked around the front of the car and got behind the wheel. Kisa red at him. ¡°What the hell do you want? I told you I¡¯m going to the hospital.¡± ¡°I know I¡¯ll drive you there.¡± Gilbert said with an expressionless face. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.

It would be just a waste of time So I might as well just carry you up,¡± he said, quickly starting the car She stared at him. Was he bipr? Sometimes he treated her well, and sometimes poorly About half an hourter, the car pulled up at the hospital. Kisa probably got out of the car too quickly because she gasped as she felt a pang of pain in her abdomen She wondered what was going on with hertely, as she often felt a tinge of pain in her belly Kisa gritted her teeth to endure the abdominal pain and looked at Gilbert, who was on the other side of the car ¡°Thank you for driving me here You go home now ¡°She did not want to tell him about the ache in her stomach, in case he would mock her as pretentious. But Gilbert ignored her locked the car, and headed to the inpatient department Kisa paused shock for a second before catching up with him. ¡°Where are you going? Do you have a friend in the hospital, too?¡± Gilbert looked at her and said slowly. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Kisa scoffed in anger Fine. Whatever She endured the pain in her abdomen and walked quickly toward the inpatient department, hoping to shake off Gilbert. But he followed her into the elevator, which was packed with people She moved to the corner and tried to stay away from Gilbert. Perhaps it was too crowded because Gilbert was pushed to her side. Kisa was sandwiched between the elevator wall and him. Kisa lowered her head, and the tip of her nose touched his chest. She felt bashful, as she could feel his hot breath above her head. The elevator was small and crowded, and she felt suffocated The elevator stopped periodically as people exited and entered. Atst, it reached the 12th floor, where Lea stayed Kisa pushed Gilbert away and hurried outside with the others. She felt much better as she could finally breathe in the fresh air She was about to go to Lea¡¯s ward when she noticed that Gilbert had followed her out of the elevator Kisa frowned. ¡°Your friend stays on this floor, too?¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business What the hell! Kisa red at him as he walked ahead, thinking to herself, if I talk with you ever again, I¡¯ll turn dumb. When she came in front of Lea¡¯s ward, she checked around and saw that Gilbert was nowhere to be found. He probably went to visit his friend She knew very little about Gilbert and had no idea what friends he had here in Athadale ¡°Ms. Becker?¡± A voice came as she was about to open the door to Lea¡¯s ward. Kisa subconsciously turned toward the voice and saw that it was the caregiver she had engaged with this afternoon. ¡°How¡¯s my friend doing?

Then she became quiet instead and didn¡¯t cry. You should go in and see her She must be very strong. Her child is gone, but she didn¡¯t cry.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart stopped when she heard what the caregiver said. She cares so much about the baby in her womb. The baby is gone, and the culprits are Anthony and Karen. She couldn¡¯t possibly have no reaction. The quieter Lea was, the more Kisa felt uneasy. When Kisa opened the door, she saw Lea sitting on the bed with her eyes looking out the window It was dark outside now, and there was nothing to see. She did not notice and had no reaction when Kisa walked in. ¡°Lea¡­ Kisa went over and called out to her.

There was no expression on Lea¡¯s face, and she was still looking out the window with vacant eyes. Kisa looked at her and felt a lump in her throat She sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroked the corner of Lea¡¯s forehead, and whispered, ¡°Lea. ¡± Lea slowly focused her vision to look at her ¡°M-My baby is gone.¡± Her voice was calm, without emotion, even a little hollow.

So Kisa decided on her own. ¡°Get some light food up here, please Gilbert, looking as patronizingly indifferent as ever, turned around and went out Once again, Kisa mentally scoffed at his unlikable personality ¡°Actually, Mr Kooper really loves you,¡± Lea suddenly said as Kisa stared at the empty doorway, her tone of voice so devoid of emotion that it was unsettling. Kisa held Lea¡¯s hand tightly under the quilt ¡°Actually, I think Anthony has some feelings for you, too.¡± Lea did not respond, as if she had not heard her When Kisa tried tofort her, Lea just smiled at her, her face unusually pale. ¡°Kisa, I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have to worry. Kisa looked at her ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Hmm, if it is gone, it is gone. After all, it was the child of someone who didn¡¯t love me. Maybe it is God¡¯s will.¡± Kisa was still worried even though Lea was smiling. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to be so pessimistic I think you should talk to Anthony. I feel like he just doesn¡¯t know how to love, but he really seems to care about you.¡± She felt at this moment that Lea had lost the motivation to live Kisa had had that kind of despair, sadness, and emptiness six years ago. So she kept saying that Anthony cared about Lea so that she could get the motivation to live She was really afraid that Lea would get trapped in her own mind and do something stupid. ¡°Are you Lea Garner¡¯s family member? Can I talk to you for a moment?¡± a doctor suddenly said. from the doorway. Kisa got up and said to Lea, Tm going to talk to the doctor for a while. You stay put. Gilbert should be back soon.¡± Lea slowly nodded her head. In the doctor¡¯s office ¡°What? The uterus is damaged, and she can never conceive a child again?¡± Kisa¡¯s heart sank as she looked at Lea¡¯s medical report. It turned out that what Lea said was true ¡°Someone kicked her and hurt her belly badly. It was lucky she didn¡¯t have to remove her uterus We told her about this situation when she woke up, and she said she could ept it. Her reaction. was very calm.¡± That was not calm, but mourning. ¡°Is there a cure?¡± ¡°There¡¯s pretty much nothing we can do.¡± Kisa clutched the edge of the desk with grief and anger ¡®How cruel it is to take away a woman¡¯s right to be a mother Anthony if you knew about this, would you have any semnce of pity for her? Not sure if she was too emotional, she felt her abdomen getting increasingly painful. It came in bursts, like a sharp pain. ¡°Miss Becker, the patient has to stay in the hospital for about half a month. I have alreadypleted the procedures, so you can just go and pay the bill.¡± ¡°Okay¡± Kisa nodded, took the bill, and got up. She was ready to go to the first floor of the outpatient building to pay the bill. However, as she reached the doorway, a sudden cry of rm came from behind her ¡°Y-You are bleeding!¡± Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she looked back at the doctor Tm bleeding?¡± The doctor, a female physician in her fifties, quickly came up to her ¡°Are you having your period?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1296 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1296 Chapter 1296 Most Likely a Quack Kisa shook her head in disbelief. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I have irregr periods. I had bled like this the other day, but it cleared up a day after I got a jab and took some medication. It has only been ten days. Why is it bleeding again?¡± Kisa mumbled in confusion. ¡°Could it be that my menstrual disorder has worsened?¡± The doctor asked suspiciously, ¡°Do you feel unwell anywhere?¡± ¡°I just got into an argument with someone and hit my back against the table. Then my kept hurting, and now the pain is getting stronger.¡± The doctor¡¯s expression turned grave. ¡°I suggest you go for a check¨Cup right away. I will write you a referral letter now. If you are married, you are probably pregnant.¡± ¡°W¨CWhat?¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, and the report in her hand dropped to the floor. ¡°This is no joke. It is better to get it checked. Don¡¯t take it as a hassle. If you really are pregnant, the bleeding is a sign of miscarriage.¡± Shock turned into panic. Kisa did not even dare to walk but froze in ce. ¡°I¨CI can¡¯t possibly be pregnant. I¨CI fell earlier and hit the corner of the table, but I felt nothing at all. I¨CI had a serious injury a few years ago, and my periods had been irregr. So it would be difficult for me to conceive, isn¡¯t it?¡± Kisa stammered because of shock. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Difficult to conceive does not mean that you cannot conceive. In your friend¡¯s case, the chances of her conceiving in the future are almost zero, but it is absolutely not impossible. It is hard to tell for sure,¡± the doctor said as she finished writing the referral letter for Kisa to get an ultrasound and a blood test. ¡°Go quickly. Get it checked, just in case. After all, you are bleeding now. It is better to find out what happened.¡± ¡°B¨CB¨CBut a doctor friend of mine told me I just had irregr periods. He just asked me to take some supplements. He has examined me. So how could I be pregnant?¡± The doctor frowned with displeasure. ¡°If you doubt my professional judgment, you are free to not go for a check¨Cup. It is up to you. By the way, your doctor friend is probably a quack, or he knows nothing about gynecology.¡± Kisa swallowed in shock. Seeing the displeasure on the doctor¡¯s face, she did not dare to question anything but took the referral letter, turned around, and walked outside. She was skeptical of what the doctor said but still heeded it and walked with care. She went ahead and paid the fee before going for the check¨Cup. First, she went for a blood test and then headed to the ultrasound room. When the ultrasound was taken, her body stiffened. She did not dare to move or ask questions. After this was done and the ultrasound report was being printed, she wondered how she could possibly be pregnant. But the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was a real possibility. After all, Gilbert had been particrly concerned about her belly for some time. While she was thinking about it, the doctor handed her the report. ¡°Okay, you can get out now. Next patient.¡± Kisa walked out of the ultrasound room and only then dared to look at the report. When the words¡® 4¨C week pregnant¡® came into view, she froze. ¡®I¡¯m really pregnant? Butst time Kelvin gave me a check¨Cup, why didn¡¯t he tell me? Why did he lie to me and say I had irregr periods? And Gilbert has been so concerned about my belly that he must have known I am pregnant for some time. But why did he not tell me and conspired with Kelvin to lie to me? What is he up to?¡® Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1297 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1297 Chapter 1297 Who to me Countless questions hovered in her mind. When Kisa saw the words ¡®signs of miscarriage,¡® her doubts were instantly gone. She tucked the ultrasound report away and hurried to get her blood test report. When she returned to the doctor¡¯s office, the doctor saw her anxious face and said confidently,¡± So, I was right¨Cyou are pregnant, aren¡¯t you?¡± Kisa quickly showed the doctor the two reports. ¡°Take a look. I¡¯m showing signs of miscarriage. What should I do?¡± The doctor took the reports and looked at them carefully. Her eyes narrowed, and her expression serious. Kisa was on pins and needles, feeling like an invisible hand was strangling her and that she could not breathe. After a while, the doctor said, ¡°Your condition is not serious. Take some medicines to stabilize your pregnancy. The hCG level in your blood is good. The bleeding should be caused by you hitting the table today, which is not a big problem. Just be careful from now on. Kisa felt much more at ease upon hearing what the doctor said. However, while her baby was fine, Lea¡¯s was gone. She felt heavy as she thought about Lea¡¯s condition, and the joy of learning her pregnancy vanished. She looked at the time; two hours had passed since she left Lea¡¯s ward, and Gilbert should be back from buying food by now. Walking into the lobby of the inpatient building, she headed to the elevator with mixed emotions. Suddenly, a man came out of the elevator and took her into his arms, hugging her tightly. ¡°Where have you been?¡± Before Kisa knew what had happened, an exasperated voice sounded above her. She did not need to look up to know it was Gilbert. Only his voice could be so antagonistic yetced with a tinge of concern and fear. Gilbert walked to a corner with his arm around her, his mean eyes staring at her. ¡°I just went downstairs to buy a meal, and you disappeared. Why do you like to run around so much?¡± ¡°I just went to pay the bills,¡± Kisa whispered. ¡°You f*cking need two hours to pay the bills?¡± He was so mad and also apparently worried. But Kisa was unsure if he was worried about her or the baby in her womb. She stared at him and still could not figure out why he had to keep the fact of her pregnancy from her. If he had not conspired with Kelvin to lie to her, she might have gone to the hospital to get examined and found out about her pregnancy long ago. Gilbert was not too happy when he noticed the suspicious look in her eyes. ¡°What the f*ck is that look in your eyes? You ran off and caused me to look for you high and low. I haven¡¯t even questioned you, yet you give me that look.¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. ¡°It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t have a cell phone. Couldn¡¯t you just call me if you can¡¯t find me?¡± Gilbert could not find a word to respond. ¡®Yeah. Why didn¡¯t I think of calling her? Has my IQ deteriorated after being with her?¡® Earlier, Lea told Gilbert that the doctor had called Kisa away. All he knew was to search for Kisa in the hospital, the doctor¡¯s office, and the outpatient building. He went back and forth several times but never found her. But he never thought of calling her. ¡°You are stupid yourself. So, who is to me?¡± ¡°I dare you to say it again!¡± Gilbert said, forcing the words through his teeth. His tone of voice was hostile and cold. Kisa did not bother to argue with him. Instead, she pushed him away and headed for the elevator. As Gilbert frowned at her, his eyes were instantly drawn to the speck of blood on her pants, and his heart sank. ¡°Kisa.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1298 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1298 Chapter 1298 I Can¡¯t Outy You Before Kisa could turn around, Gilbert had already stridden over and grabbed her arm, looking anxious. ¡°Why are there bloodstains on your pants? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Does your belly hurt?¡± Kisa looked at him with all seriousness. From the worry on his face, she could surely tell that he knew that she was pregnant. She tilted her head and smiled at him absently. ¡°It is just my time of the month. Why are you so worried?¡± ¡°Time of the month?¡± ¡°Yeah, didn¡¯t you have Kelvin examine mest time? It is just my period. It is irregr; so after ten days or so, it came back again.¡± Gilbert stared at her sullenly. ¡°Come with me to see the doctor.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Kisa pulled her arm back and smiled faintly. ¡°Hasn¡¯t Kelvin already examined me? I¡¯m having irregr menstruation. Kelvin is a genius physician; he won¡¯t misdiagnose it.¡± Gilbert took a deep breath and seemed a little anxious but did not know what to say. Kisa looked quietly at his desperate face. After a long moment, and she still had not heard him tell her it was not a period but that she was pregnant, Kisa sneered in her mind, ¡®Keeping things from me is more important than the safety of the child. Kisa took a deep breath, feeling frustrated. No matter his reason for doing this, she could not feel happy about it. ¡®What if I¡¯m not careful and lose the baby? If that happens, it is still I who will be heartbroken.¡® Gilbert looked sullen, standing there, and said nothing. She walked past him into the elevator without wanting to talk to him. ¡°You are pregnant.¡± He spoke finally. His voice was deep, and his tone slow and calm. Kisa paused in her tracks, turning to look at him. ¡°When did you find out?¡± Gilbert was a little annoyed and took out a cigarette. As if worried about something, he fiddled with the cigarette between his fingers instead of lighting it. Finally, he said faintly, ¡°Right after Sharon caused you to miscarry.¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Kisa snickered. ¡°Why don¡¯t you keep it from me forever? I thought you could do so?¡± ¡°I¡¯m doing it for¡­ for¡­¡± ¡°For what?¡± Gilbert did not know how to respond¨Clooking even more frustrated, inadvertently crushing the cigarette between his fingers. Knowing that he would never tell her the reason for keeping the fact of her pregnancy from her, Kisa did not bother to ask again. ¡°You go home. I will apany Lea for a while.¡± Seeing Kisa walking toward the elevator, he tugged at her. ¡°You are bleeding. Aren¡¯t you worried? Don¡¯t you care about the baby?¡± Kisaughed in anger when she heard that. ¡°Do you even care? Then why did you f*cking keep it from me and even conspire with Kelvin if you care? You are afraid I will go for an abortion, aren¡¯t you? I can¡¯t outy you, Gilbert.¡± She shook off his hand in anger. Gilbert¡¯s face had turned grim. ¡°I dare you to scold me again!¡± ¡°I scold you?¡± Kisa sneered. ¡°It is a waste of time to scold you. All right, you go home now. I don¡¯t want to see you.¡± Kisa quickly entered the elevator, not bothering to talk to him again. The moment the elevator door was about to close, Gilbert stepped in. Kisa ignored him and turned her back on him. But the bloodstain on her pants was so conspicuous that it was a constant source of irritation to him. ¡°Come with me to see the doctor:¡± Hemanded. His voice was cold and contained a tinge of worry. ¡°I¡¯m not going,¡± Kisa said. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Gilbert narrowed his eyes and reached out to grab her. Kisa dropped something in her hand to the floor in the middle of the struggle. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1299 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1299 Chapter 1299 Ancestral Hall It was a bag, and it was opened. Gilbert looked down and saw the contents of the bag. There are several packs of medication, one of which had the word ¡®anti abortifacient¡® clearly written on it. He was about to bend down to pick it up when Kisa got to it first. ¡°So¡­ You have already seen a doctor.¡± He spoke in a low voice, sounding like he was relieved. ¡°Hmm,¡± Kisa answered sullenly, not saying anything more. Gilbert also said nothing else, just staring at her expressionlessly. ¡®Psycho!¡® She cursed in her mind and then ignored him. ¡°Where is Lea?¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she arrived at Lea¡¯s ward and saw it was vacant. Gilbert frowned. ¡°She was still here when I came back with the food.¡± A takeaway was sitting on the bedside table, but it had not been touched. Kisa was worried, so she quickly took out her cell phone and called Lea. To her surprise, the call was answered quickly. Lea seemed to be smiling calmly on the other end of the phone. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Kisa, I didn¡¯t want to stay in the hospital, so I came home. So you don¡¯t have to worry about me. I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°But the doctor said you still needed to be observed in the hospital for half a month. Besides, you are still weak, and it is cold outside. You-¡± ¡°It is okay. I have arrived at my ce. I will be fine after sleeping for a few days. The smell of the hospital is too much for me.¡± Lea sounded light¨Chearted, with no signs of abnormality. But it was exactly this that worried Kisa. She would rather Lea cry out in front of her. At least after that, she would be fine. ¡°Lea, where do you stay? Can Ie and keep youpany?¡± Kisa asked softly. Lea chuckled on the other end of the phone. ¡°No, really. I will be back in Calthon after a few days of recuperation. It is okay, Kisa. I need to rest. I will hang up now.¡± The line went dead. Kisa held the phone for a long while and could only sigh. While returning to the Mullen residence, Gilbert drove, and Kisa gazed out the window. He nced over at her and said, ¡°It is important to remain cheerful during pregnancy.¡± ¡°Then don¡¯t keep things from me. I was more depressed the other day than I am now,¡± Kisa said, looking back at him. His expression was tense, but he still had no intention of telling her why. Kisa shot a nce at him and continued to look out the window. It was after 9.00 pm when they arrived at the Mullen residence. The Mullen family usually retired for the night, and the vi would be quiet at this hour. But today, it was as bright as daylight, with the living hall full of people bustling with activity. The second and third wives of Mr. Mullen Sr., who rarely saw eye to eye with each other, were now gathered together to discuss something. Kisa looked around, but Mr. Mullen Sr. and Anthony were nowhere to be seen. ¡°Heh, I think Jane and Anthony will surely be kicked out of the Mullen family this time.¡± ¡°Agree. Mr. Mullen Sr. ces great value on reputation and will not allow Anthony to damage the Mullen family¡¯s reputation.¡± Hearing the chatter, Kisa immediately guessed it was about what had happened at the bar. Arthur sat in the courtyard, his eyes fixed on a spot in the backyard. Kisa walked over and asked, ¡°What is going on? Where are your grandfather and your uncle?¡± ¡°In the ancestral hall.¡± Kisa was surprised to hear that the Mullen family still maintains an ancestral hall today. She followed Arthur¡¯s eyes and saw a glow of lighting from a more secluded part of the backyard, where the Mullen family¡¯s ancestral hall was supposed to be. The courtyard of the Mullen residence was sorge that it wasparable to a typical estate. Kisa pondered for a second and then walked toward the ancestral hall. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1300 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1300 Chapter 1300 I Am Not Important Gilbert dragged Kisa back in one motion. ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going? Just stay inside, sit back, and rx!¡± The man¡¯s tone was strong and aggressive. Kisa broke away from his hand and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to have a look.¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. ¡°It¡¯s nothing interesting. Why do you like being so nosy?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not being nosy; I just want to know what Anthony will do to her. Lea is my friend. I¡¯m worried, okay?!¡± Kisa said while she stared at him, a serious look on her face. ¡°This so¨Ccalled friend of yours once betrayed you. How could she be even more important than the child in your womb?¡± Gilbert suddenly snorted coldly. Kisa did not understand why he was being so salty about it. She took a deep breath and said, Okay. You¡¯ve hurt me before. That means I shouldn¡¯t be talking to you, let alone conceive this child based on what you¡¯ve said.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Gilbert was so angry that he wanted to strangle the woman to death. After a long time of trying to hold himself back, he said in a muffled voice, ¡°Whatever. If you want to meddle in other people¡¯s business, then go.¡± The man went upstairs through the side door after saying that. Kisa ignored him and turned around to continue walking toward the ancestral hall. Suddenly, Arthur showed up. ¡°I¡¯lle with you, Kisa.¡± Kisa was taken aback. ¡°Huh? Why?¡± she asked. ¡°I¡¯m worried about my uncle. Grandpa said that no one in our family is allowed to go after him, but you¡¯re our guest; he probably wouldn¡¯t scold us if he found out.¡± Kisa nodded. ¡®That¡¯s quite reasonable,¡® she thought. Gilbert kicked the door open when he was upstairs. Even Kelvin, who was staying in the next room, could feel the hostility in that kick. He leaned against the door, folded his arms around his chest, and stared at Gilbert with a smile. ¡°What¡¯s up? The whole building is shaking because of that temper of yours.¡± Gilbert cast him a gloomy look, and Kelvin could feel a chill on the back of his neck. ¡®Oof. This man is getting scarier and scarier by the minute,¡® he thought. Gilbert sat on the recliner by the window and took out a cigarette to have a smoke. Kelvin followed him into the room and sat 10 feet away. The man¡¯splexion looked dark, like a warning not toe close. Kelvin took out a cigarette, but Gilbert¡¯s sinister voice sounded before he could light it, ¡°Get out of here if you¡¯re going to smoke!¡± ¡®Tsk. What a hypocrite.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you smoking right now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sitting by a huge window, so it¡¯s fine.¡± Kelvin rolled his eyes and sat in front of Gilbert. He lit his cigarette, took a puff, and frowned as he said, ¡°Why the long face every day?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll get it when you and Gracie start having conflicts,¡± replied Gilbert. ¡°Tsk. Does that mean you and Kisa were fighting again?¡± Gilbert heavily took a few puffs. When he exhaled, he said slowly, ¡°She knows about the pregnancy. Kelvin stopped smoking when he heard that. He took the cigarette out of his mouth and stared at the dark¨Cfaced man who sat across from him. ¡°So¡­ She¡¯s ming you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not the point,¡± Gilbert answered, annoyed. There was a sternness in his tone that could not be ignored. ¡°The point is, she knew she was pregnant but doesn¡¯t even care about the baby; she¡¯s only concerned about other people¡¯s affairs. Why is she such a busybody?¡± ¡°Anyway, her actions make me feel like everyone else is significant to her, except for me and the baby. The baby isn¡¯t important to her, and I¡¯m not either. Her focus has never been on us.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1301 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1301 Chapter 1301 Women Are Soft¨CHearted This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert tugged on his tie as he spoke, visibly irritated. His tone was full of resentment and a hint of saltiness. ¡°Honestly, I think you deserved it. She put you first a few years ago, but you dismissed it,¡± Kelvin sneered. Gilbert instantly narrowed his eyes into a dangerous look and said, ¡°Get out!¡± ¡°Tsk. Honest advice may be unpleasant to hear, but you know I¡¯m right,¡± Kelvin said with a smile, not leaving the room. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to be mad. Just be there through everything she does. If she¡¯s worried about someone, pretend to worry about that person too. Listen to everything she says and obey her wishes. I¡¯m sure she¡¯ll change her mind about you.¡± Gilbert looked at Kelvin expressionlessly. ¡°I¡¯m not you,¡± he said. ¡°Oh, why don¡¯t you get it? You must bear this anger if you want her to change her mind and focus on you. Besides, losing your temper will only annoy her more and make her feel that you¡¯re narrow- minded. Just do what I say, be gentle, understanding, and considerate toward her, and everything will fall into ce!¡± Kelvin said enthusiastically. Gilbert was full of disdain. He leaned against the chair, held the cigarette in his mouth, and said, She¡¯s different from Gracie. Her heart is cruel.¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling you, women are soft¨Chearted. Just test it out if you don¡¯t believe me.¡± ¡°Look who¡¯s the master of emotions. Somehow, I remember you saying that love is difficult and that you¡¯ll never love again. You also kept bugging me and asking how to win a woman¡¯s heart back. But look at you now, the master of emotions after being nourished by love for several years. ¡°Gilbert¡¯s tone was highly sarcastic. Kelvin was getting red. ¡°Can you please stop mentioning the embarrassing things that happened in past?¡± Gilbert shot him a look and ignored him. The ancestral hall was hidden deep in the innermost part of the backyard, surrounded by trees. It was unclear if it was cold that night, but Kisa felt a chill. Fortunately, Arthur was with her. ¡°You¡¯ve cost us our family reputation!¡± Kisa heard Mr. Mullen Sr. yell before reaching the ancestral hall. She and Arthur looked at each other, and the two hid behind the pirs on the side of the hall. Kisa then poked her head out to look inside. The light in the ancestral hall was dim since only candles were lit. There were many Mullen family ancestral portraits in the hall, which were rather terrifying to look at. Anthony knelt in front of the altar, facing the pictures of his ancestors. Jane stood at the side with her head lowered as she bowed. Arthur¡¯s father was also there, standing together with Mr. Mullen Sr. ¡°Dad, the news has died down. Maybe we should just forget it.¡± ¡°So what if the news has died down? He won¡¯t be able to stop himself from getting together with that lowly cheap-*ss b*tch in the future.¡± Jane¡¯s head lowered even more when she heard him say that. Suddenly, Anthony sarcastically laughed. ¡°Is that the same reason why you got together with my mom? You couldn¡¯t stop yourself? ¡°You *sshole!¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. was so angry that he hit Anthony¡¯s back with his cane, and Anthony fell forward. Jane¡¯s face turned pale with fright when she saw that. She hastily kneeled on the ground, holding Anthony in her arms as she begged, ¡°He¡¯s not in the best condition right now. He doesn¡¯t know what he¡¯s talking about. Please, dad, don¡¯t me him; that b*tch is the one who lured him. I¡¯ll talk to him. Please. I¡¯ll talk him out of it.¡± ¡°Get up and get out of the way!

She got up and stood aside, wiping her tears. Kisa watched the whole thing quietly. ¡®Why can¡¯t she stand before the Mullen family ancestors? Is it because the Mullen family did not ept her? Is it because she has no status in the family?¡® Kisa thought. Anthony clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. It was unclear if he was angry or trying to restrain himself from doing something stupid. Suddenly, Mr. Mullen Sr. threw a newspaper at Anthony¡¯s face. ¡°Look at all the amazing sh*t you¡¯ve done. I¡¯m not going toment on the incident at the bar, but everyone on the streets saw you and Karen hitting that woman in broad daylight. It¡¯s all over the news!

Huh?!¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. roared. ¡°That had nothing to do with Anthony. It¡¯s all Ms. Reyes. She was the one who suddenly went crazy and beat up that woman,¡± Jane quickly defended him. ¡°Would something like that have happened if he didn¡¯t get together with those women? Also, don¡¯t forget you helped the Reyes family. Do you no longer want to stay in this house anymore?¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. snorted. Jane¡¯s face turned pale, and she did not dare to answer. Mr. Mullen Sr. was mad; he continued to hit Anthony with his cane a few more times, each time harder than the next. Arthur was so anxious that he grabbed onto the wooden pir and almost rushed in. In the end, Albert was the one who spoke up. ¡°Okay, dad, that should be enough. I don¡¯t think he can stand any more beatings.¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. was still angry. ¡°And what¡¯s this about that woman bearing your child? Is that lowly woman actually pregnant with your child?!¡± he yelled. ¡°No, no¡­¡± Before Anthony could reply, Jane hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s all made up. Mr. Kooper¡¯s wife said it just to stop Anthony from marrying Ms. Reyes. Anthony¡¯s always been very discreet. There¡¯s no way that lowly woman is pregnant with a Mullen.¡± ¡°Was I talking to you?¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. cast a cold nce at Jane. ¡°I was talking to him!¡± he said, pointing at Anthony with his cane. Anthony did not say anything for a while. Suddenly, Jane cried, ¡°Anthony, your father asked you a question. Tell him you were just fooling around with that woman. Tell him you didn¡¯t take her seriously.¡± After a long time, Anthony finally spoke. His tone was full of sarcasm. ¡°She¡¯s just a pawn. I used her to deal with Gilbert and Kisa, of course I was just ying with her.¡± Jane was visibly relieved when she heard that. However, Kisa¡¯s heart turned cold. ¡®Lea¡¯s not in the best condition. If I tell her about how ruthless Anthony is, it¡¯d only make her feel even more sad and hopeless,¡® she thought. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s anger seemed to have subsided a little. ¡°Since you were only fooling around, it would be best to draw a clear line. Don¡¯t let those cheap women pester you anymore.

You are to kneel here and reflect on yourself for the whole of next week,¡± he said coldly and left the ancestral hall. Arthur quickly rushed to Kisa¡¯s side, but the pir was not big enough for them both, and Kisa was exposed. ¡°Who¡¯s there?!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1303 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1303 Chapter 1303 Caught in The Act Suddenly, a loud voice sounded. Mr. Mullen Sr. had caught them in the act. Arthur was frightened to death. He kept pushing Kisa to go and show herself. Kisa gave him a contemptuous look and walked out boldly. ¡®There¡¯s nothing to be afraid of; I did nothing wrong.¡¯ ¡°Oh, Mrs. Kooper,¡± Mr. Mullen Sr.ughed. The mottled light shone on his face, making the smile on his face look insincere and a little sinister. Kisa greeted him with a smile, ¡°Good evening, Mr. Mullen Sr. It looked nice out, so I decided to walk around the backyard.¡± After saying that, she looked around with some suspicion and said, What is this ce? Seems rather mysterious.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the Mullen family¡¯s ancestral hall,¡± he replied, smiling. However, Kisa felt annoyed by his eyes trying to figure her out. On the other hand, Jane hated Kisa to the core because of what happened at the bar today. She deliberately smiled and said, ¡°Mrs. Kooper, what a surprise. I can¡¯t believe you stumbled across the ancestral hall of our family in the backyard. Did you not like the clear scenery in the front yard?¡± ¡°Mm, I don¡¯t really like bright ces. The dangers of the world are too obvious under the light. I like dark ces like this. I mean, don¡¯t you? After all, you wouldn¡¯t have to worry since I wouldn¡¯t be able to see if you¡¯re actually a wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing,¡± Kisa insinuated. Jane¡¯s eyes widened in anger, but she did not dare to fight back. At that moment, Albert pulled Arthur out of hiding by the ear. ¡°Ouch, let go of me! What are you doing? Dad, let me go!¡± Arthur held his ear and yelled in pain.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Jane nced at Arthur andughed, ¡°That¡¯s strange. Were you two eavesdropping to watch the Mullen family make a joke of ourselves?¡± Kisa did not say a word but thought, ¡®I wouldn¡¯t bother to watch even if you begged me.¡¯ Arthur lowered his head and whispered, ¡°I was just worried about Uncle Anthony.¡± Hearing this, a complex look shed across Jane¡¯s face, and she did not say anything further. ¡°Enough. The Mullen elders would like some peace and quiet. Everybody leave,¡± said Mr. Mullen Sr. as he walked toward the vi with the help of his cane. Arthur turned his head and looked into the ancestral hall. Albert twisted his arm and snorted, Come on. What are you looking at? Let¡¯s go!¡± After that, he pulled Arthur, and the two followed Mr. Mullen Sr. Kisa tried to nce into the hall, but all she saw was Anthony¡¯s back as he knelt . ¡°What? That¡¯s the ancestral hall of the Mullen family. Are you, an outsider, trying to go in and have a look?¡± Jane asked mockingly. ¡°That¡¯s funny, Mrs. Mullen,¡± Kisa pursed her lips and said expressionlessly. Mr. Mullen Sr. walked slowly with the help of his cane. Kisa caught up in just a few steps. The ce seemed dingy when she and Arthur first walked through the path. Maybe it was a psychological effect, but now that Albert and Mr. Mullen Sr. were there, the dark feeling Kisa had felt then was gone. When passing through the prohibited, Kisa looked over at Mr. Mullen Sr. and chuckled, ¡°I heard you built a beautiful ce in the backyard to avoid the summer heat, Mr. Mullen Sr. Is it possible for us to go have a look?¡± Suddenly, Mr. Mullen Sr. stopped in his tracks. ¡°Oh my, aren¡¯t you a curious one, Mrs. Kooper?¡± he said, looking at her. ¡°Ha-ha. Well, everyone likes looking at pretty things. I was just wondering if the interior really is as beautiful as the rumors say.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1304 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1304 Chapter 1304 Hidden Treasure Albert gave Arthur a sharp look at said to Kisa, ¡°I advise you to stop being so curious, Mrs. Kooper. That ce is exclusive to my dad, and no one else is allowed to go in and see it, let alone an outsider like yourself. You should probably forget about it, Mrs. Kooper.¡± ¡°Oh, wow. That sounds mysterious.¡± Kisaughed meaningfully, ¡°The thing is, the more mysterious you make it seem, the more curious I get.¡± ¡°Curious, huh?¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. tapped his cane on the ground. ¡°Then try to control yourself,¡± he chuckled. ¡°As my eldest son said, no one is eligible to enter that ce except me. I even have guards standing by in there. So you should suppress your curiosity, Mrs. Kooper. My family won¡¯t be responsible if something unfortunate happens.¡± ¡°Ha-ha. What kind of treasure do you have in there that you need people to guard the ce?¡± Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s face was flushed red when he seemed to have thought of something. He stroked his beard and said, ¡°There is a hidden treasure inside, but you people are not qualified to go in and see.¡± ¡°What kind of treasure?¡± Arthur subconsciously asked. Albert immediately pped him on the back of his head and shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t ask! Even if it is the rarest treasure in the world, it still belongs to your grandfather.¡± Arthur rubbed the back of his head, looked at his father sadly, and did not dare to ask any more questions. Suddenly, Mr. Mullen Sr. said, ¡°Yes, don¡¯t raise questions you shouldn¡¯t ask, and don¡¯t go to that area out of curiosity. The guards I have there won¡¯t care who you are.¡± ¡°Yes, dad,¡± Albert quickly nodded in respect. Kisa¡¯s eyes dimmed slightly. ¡®It seems that he¡¯s hiding a secret there. I mean, there¡¯s no reason for him to be so guarded against his own family if that wasn¡¯t the case.¡¯ ¡°Hurry up! She¡¯ll be back soon!¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you see I¡¯m trying?!¡± As soon as Kisa entered the room, she was shocked by the sight in front of her. She saw two tall men standing by the window, each holding a thin magazine, fanning it out the window. ¡°W-What are you guys doing?¡± Kelvin turned around in an instant when he heard that voice andughed, ¡°Gilbert was sca-¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Gilbert said, elbowing Kelvin¡¯s side to shut him up. Kelvin felt the pain. He held onto his waist as he red at him and said, ¡°You deserve to be misunderstood with that personality of yours!¡± Gilbert ignored him, sat back on the chair, and turned to read the magazine with a focused look on his face. Kelvin continued to insult him, ¡°Women don¡¯t like you? Well, serves you right!¡± Kisa paid no attention to Gilbert. Instead, she looked at Kelvin happily and said, ¡°When did you arrive?¡± ¡°Just this afternoon.¡± After he said that, Kelvin sighed again, ¡°Speaking of which, although Anthony is evil, the hospitality of the Mullen family is really out of this world. The whole house weed me and even arranged the best guest room for me when I arrived.¡± Kisa graciously poured him a ss of water and said, ¡°You¡¯re here to look at Ms. Mullen¡¯s legs. Of course they treat you as their guest of honor.¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. She handed Kelvin the water and sat across from him as she looked at him excitedly,pletely oblivious to the gloomy-faced man next to him.

Can you do something about her legs?¡± Kisa asked. ¡°Well¡­¡± Kelvin felt a cold gaze staring at him, which made him panic. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are things not looking up?¡± Kisa could not help but feel anxious when she saw Kelvin¡¯s ufortable expression. All of Kisa¡¯s attention was focused on Kelvin; it was as if Gilbert was not there. Kelvin felt the gaze getting colder and colder down to his spine. ¡°Well? Talk, Kelvin. Is there something you could do about Ms. Mullen¡¯s legs? Kelvin? Kelvin~?¡± In an instant, Gilbert narrowed his eyes in a dangerous look, and his body emanated a sinister feeling. Kelvin rolled his eyes without a word, trying to signal Kisa. ¡®God, Kisa. Why are you suddenly calling me so affectionately? Also, can you please get your man out of here before we get down to business?!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did something get into your eyes?¡± Kisa could not help asking when she saw him roll his eyes. Kelvin wanted to cry out loud at that moment, but he could not. He nced at Gilbert and asked Kisa, ¡°Can we talk privately?¡± Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. ¡°Privately?¡± Kisa was taken aback. She then quickly realized that Gilbert was still in the room. Should you go out, or should I go to Kelvin¡¯s room?¡± she asked. Gilbert leaned forward as his hands slowly tightened around the magazine. Slowly, one of the pages was crumpled in his hands. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Kisa. Let¡¯s let Gilbert stay here, and we¡¯ll go to my room,¡± Kelvin said quickly when he saw that Gilbert was on the verge of getting mad. However, just as he finished saying that, Gilbert stood up abruptly, kicked the chair he was sitting on earlier, and silently walked toward the door. Gilbert¡¯s hostility frightened them both. It wasn¡¯t until the man was out of the room that Kisa asked Kelvin in a low voice, ¡°What¡¯s up with him? Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed or something?¡± ¡°Who knows? His temper is entric, and he¡¯s bing more and more unreasonable!¡± Kelvin snorted depressingly. Kisa raised her his in agreement, ¡°Yeah. He¡¯s getting more and more unreasonable these days. Like, I¡¯m not exaggerating; but he hasn¡¯t been in a good mood the past few days here. He always looks gloomy, like someone owes him a million bucks or something.¡± Kelvin kicked her foot suddenly. Kisa was stunned for a moment. ¡°What? I¡¯m really not exaggerating. His face looks gloomy every day. Ask Davian if you don¡¯t believe me.¡± ¡°Shhh¡­¡± Kelvin blinked at her again and shushed. Kisa did not understand what he was trying to say, so she continued, ¡°Besides, we¡¯re at someone else¡¯s ce. It¡¯s rude of him to look so glum all day long, kicking things here and there as he goes. Why in the world is he-¡± ¡®Oof.¡¯ Before Kisa could finish her sentence, she felt a chill down her spine. She frowned and looked at Kelvin. Kelvin held up the ss of water and took a long sip with his head lowered. Kisa then turned her head in suspicion. ¡®Aah!¡¯ She yelled to herself in her heart when she saw a tall figure standing behind her. She did not know when he showed up, but the extremely dark expression on his face and the look on his brows were so terrifying that none of them dared to breathe. Kisa lowered her head in silence, turned around, and shrunk her neck back like a turtle. The man walked to where he was sitting earlier and bent down to grab his phone from the coffee table. ¡°You guys continue. I just came back to grab my phone. Go on, continue.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1306 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1306 Chapter 1306 Waking on the Wrong Side of the Bed Gilbert smiled while he said those words, but Kisa and Kelvin were scared. ¡°Go on then!¡± Gilbert looked at the two expressionlessly and chuckled, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you guys talking?¡± Though his face was seemingly calm, his eyes showed anger. It would be foolish of them if they continued to speak ill of him. Kisa lowered her head, her face buried into the cor of her shirt, while Kelvin drank out of the ss continuously. After a long time, the ss was empty. Gilbert pursed his lips coldly. He leaned close to the two and said, ¡°Don¡¯t talk sh*t about others behind their backs if you guys don¡¯t have the guts to say it to their faces.¡± Kisa¡¯s entire body became stiff, and she did not dare to make a sound when the man¡¯s words fell into her ears. ¡®Who knew you would be back all of a sudden?!¡¯ she thought as the sound of footsteps gradually receded and the door mmed shut. The oppressive and cold air in the room disappeared in an instant. Kisa took a deep breath and nced at Kelvin as she said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me he was back? I can¡¯t believe you let me say all those things while he was here!¡± Kelvin was speechless. ¡°It¡¯s not my fault. I almost went blind from all the blinking, but you didn¡¯t even get the signal.¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°That was so scary. I really shouldn¡¯t be speaking ill of him anymore. He¡¯s always there when I do!¡± Kisa shook her head and said. ¡°OHHHHH. Now I know why he¡¯s angry every day. It must be because you keep saying bad things about him behind his back, and he catches you doing it!¡± ¡°N-No¡­ That¡¯s not it,¡± Kisa replied, feeling a little guilty. ¡°That must be it! He was never this bad-tempered before,¡± Kelvin snorted. Kisa was nomittal. ¡°He has always been this angry since he was a child. It¡¯s like he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed every morning.¡± Kelvin wanted to continue arguing with her, but Gilbert was not the main concern for Kisa right now. Instead, she redirected the conversation back to the beginning. ¡°So, did you have a look at Ms. Mullen¡¯s legs today? Is there anything you can do about it?¡± ¡°Yeah. I¡¯ve taken a look, and there is something I could do.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes lit up upon hearing that. ¡°Really?¡± she asked. Kelvin stared at her with a frown and said, ¡°Why do you care about Ms. Mullen so much? I mean, she is from the Mullen family. And the Mullens have always been at odds with the Kooper family. When did you be best friends with Ms. Mullen?¡± ¡°I¡­ We¡¯re not best friends¡­ I just took pity on her and thought that she could use a miracle.¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± Kelvin shook his head in an instant and said, ¡°I know another reason why Gilbert is angry all the time now. It¡¯s because you treat others so well, yet you don¡¯t give a damn about him. Turns out he¡¯s right. Everyone is important to you, but not him.¡± Kisa was stunned. ¡°Huh¡­? What are you talking about? What does this have to do with who¡¯s important and who¡¯s not???¡± ¡°He¡¯s the one who said it, not me. He told me you don¡¯t care about him like you do others,¡± Kelvin said. Kisaughed, ¡°When did I not care about him? Why does he even think that¡¯s true? Besides, why should I care about him? All he does is lie to me and hurt me. Speaking of which, you conspired with him to lie to me! You¡¯re a quack doctor with no medical ethics!¡± She red at Kelvin angrily as she thought of her pregnancy. Kelvin began to choke. ¡®F*ck! I should have just kept my mouth shut.¡¯ ¡°You can¡¯t me me for that. Gilbert was the one who told me to lie to you. You know how I¡¯ve always been afraid of him; I was pressured to lie.¡± ¡°Then¡­ Do you know why he lied?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1307 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1307 Chapter 1307 How Vicious Kelvin froze and shook his head frantically, but Kisa knew he was lying. After all, they did grow up together. Kisa knew he usually paused to think about whether to lie or not before answering. ¡°You¡¯re telling me you don¡¯t know?¡± Kisa asked, her face darkened. ¡°I¨CI don¡¯t,¡± he replied. ¡°It seems that Gilbert did not want her to know why since he didn¡¯t tell her. It¡¯s best if I don¡¯t say anything to save that man from going mad at me again. I can¡¯t afford to mess with him right now.¡¯ Kelvin thought about it and shook his head to show that he really did not know. Kisa nced at him coolly. ¡°You know, I bled again today. I¡¯m not sure why Gilbert wanted to hide me from the fact that I was pregnant. Maybe he didn¡¯t want this child. He didn¡¯t let me know on purpose so that I would have a miscarriage from not taking better care of myself. That way, he can rx without doing anything about it.¡± ¡°T-That¡¯s not it¡­..¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t like the child I¡¯m bearing for him,¡± Kisaughed at herself, looking at the night outside the window. ¡°He was hoping I wouldn¡¯t care for myself and somehow get rid of the baby. He has thought about it carefully. How vicious he is to allow a mother to kill her own child. He hates this child so much that he doesn¡¯t even want them toe into this world. How can he be so vicious¡­ ¡°No, it¡¯s not like that¡­¡± Kelvin was getting anxious. He did not want to say anything to the woman, but his mission was quickly bing impossible. ¡°Gilbert likes the child very much. He cares a lot about them,¡± Kelvin said in a serious tone. Kisa could tell that Gilbert cared about the child because he was always so nervous about anything happening to her stomach. She said all that on purpose just to provoke Kelvin into telling her why Gilbert lied to her, and the trick seemed to work. ¡°Gilbert cares more about this child than anyone else. He tried his best to hide the pregnancy from you because he was afraid that you would hate the child and get rid of them behind his back.¡± ¡°How is that even possible?!¡± Kisa suspected there was something wrong with the man. ¡®There should be zero doubt as to how much a woman loves her child. Even if I died, I wouldn¡¯t let my child suffer any harm. How could he possibly think I¡¯d kill my child behind his back? Ugh! That man always has th vildest ideas.¡¯ *Kisa, Gilbert cares about you and the child. He has been very distressed duri all this time. He worked so hard to hide the truth from you. On the one hand, he had toe up with excuses to lie to you, and on the other hand, he worried about your health.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a messed-up way of thinking. He didn¡¯t have to hide my pregnancy from me.¡± ¡°He was scared. He didn¡¯t want to take any risks. He told me that when your belly grows bigger, you would care more about the child and be more reluctant to get an abortion. He tried his best to conceal this secret all because he wanted to keep the child.¡± Kisa did not understand Gilbert¡¯s choice of action, but Kelvin¡¯s words shocked her. ¡®This man actually cares more about this child than I imagined,¡¯ she thought. ¡°Think about it, Kisa. Gilbert really loves you. You shouldn¡¯t be doubting him all the time, or he¡¯ll be sad.¡± After Kelvin finished speaking, he shook his head and left the room with a sigh. Kisa waited in the room for a long time, but Gilbert did not return. Shey on the bed, unable to fall asleep as she thought about Kelvin¡¯s words. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Suddenly, there was a light knock at the door¡­ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1308 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1308 Chapter 1308 Two Children Between Them Someone unlocked the door. Kisa¡¯s body instinctively tensed up, and she turned to look at the door under her nket. The door quickly opened and closed. A slender silhouette came into the frame, and Kisa saw it walk toward her slowly. She would have been scared to death if she was not already familiar with Gilbert¡¯s figure. She knew that he was the one who had entered. At first, Kisa thought that the Mullen residence was eerie and weird. She even had a terrible nightmare and was pranked by someone on her first day there. She would have had the shock of her life if someone else had entered the room. The figure stood by her window for a while; she was unsure if he was looking at her. The figure did not speak, so she did not make a sound either. After a while, he walked quietly toward the bathroom. Just as the figure was about to reach the bathroom door, a click sounded, and the wallmp in the room turned on in an instant. The figure froze, and after a while, he turned to look at her. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Kisa wrapped the nket around herself and sat up from the bed, watching him quietly. Neither of them spoke, and the air was eerily quiet. After a long time, Kisa was the one who said the first word. The man had always been able to stay calm when he wanted to. ¡°You¡¯re backte,¡± Kisa said. ¡°Mhm,¡± the man responded lightly with no apparent emotion. Kisa wanted to say something else, but the man had already turned around and entered the bathroom. It was obvious that he was still angry. Kisa looked at the time and saw that it was almost midnight. She got up and poured herself a ss of water as she lost the urge to sleep. She then went back to the bed, leaned against the head of the bed, and stared at the bathroom door without blinking. There was the sound of rushing water from the bathroom. She stared at the translucent door, lost in thought. ¡®Why did he think I would dislike my own child and get rid of them? Is there some kind of¡­ misunderstanding?¡¯ Just as Kisa was thinking about it, the door suddenly opened. Gilbert came out looking angry. He wrapped a towel around his waist, revealing his muscr upper body. There were still drops of water on his body, which looked sexy and inviting. Kisa, on the other hand, looked a little absent-minded. She only returned to her senses when the man walked ward the bed. She lowered her head and stared at the ss of water in her hand. The man did not look at her. Instead, he just went to the closet to find something to wear. The air was deadly still once again. Kisa fumbled with the ss, wanting to speak up, but she did not know what to say. After changing into his nightwear, Gilbert went around the bed andid on the other side, about three feet away from Kisa. The man had no intention of talking to her and even ignored her as if she was not there. It seemed like he was about to sleep. Kisa bit her lower lip, quietly scolding the man for having a bad temper and for being difficult. The man was lying with his back to her, motionless as if he had fallen asleep. Kisa snorted mockingly. She then turned off the lights andy with her back to him as well. ¡®Hel always does this. He wants me to humor him every time he gets mad. Well, I¡¯m not going to do it this time. After all, there¡¯s nothing I want from him right now.¡¯ The two had their backs to each other. They were so far apart that two children could fit in between them. After the many on the bed, he did not move or make a sound, like he was asleep; but Kisa could not fall asleep. There was an inexplicable surge of anger in her heart. She had waited half the night for the man to return, but he just went to bed without saying a word. ¡®Is he really giving me the silent treatment right now?¡¯ The more Kisa thought about it, the angrier she felt. Suddenly, Kisa had an idea. She held onto her stomach and said, ¡°Ouch! It hurts, it hurts so bad¡­¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1309 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1309 Chapter 1309 I¡¯m Worthless The man did not respond at all. However, Kisa refused to believe that he did not hear her crying out in pain. After all, sharp and alert people like him were often light sleepers. Regardless, the man still did not respond. Kisa was frustrated. ¡®He¡¯spletely giving me the cold shoulder now? He¡¯s even disregarding his child¡¯s safety,¡¯ she thought. ¡°It hurts! My stomach hurts so badly!¡± Kisa said loudly and grunted out in anger. Suddenly, the person beside her shot up. The man had sat up on the bed. Before Kisa could react, the lights in the room were turned on. She lifted her head and was met with a handsome, tense face. ¡°Why does your stomach hurt?¡± the man asked in a panic. His slender,rge hands covered her stomach and gently caressed it. Kisa snorted lowly, ¡°I¡¯ve been crying out in pain for a while now. Weren¡¯t you ignoring me? Why are you worried now?¡± ¡®Her tone¡­ Why does it sound like there isn¡¯t pain at all but a hint of resentment instead?¡¯ Gilbert wondered. Gilbert frowned as he gazed at her healthy-lookingplexion and the frustrated expression on her face. Momentster, he said coolly, ¡°I thought you were hurting somewhere else.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Kisa huffed. ¡°Are you saying that the child is precious and I¡¯m worthless? So it doesn¡¯t matter where I¡¯m hurting as long as it isn¡¯t my stomach?¡± ¡®Since she has so much energy to argue with me, I¡¯m very sure that she was lying to me when she said her stor was hurting,¡¯ he thought. The man crossed his arms and leaned onto the headboard. Then, he side-eyeder icily. ¡°What are you doing staying up in the middle of the night?¡± ¡°Nothing. I just¡­ I just have some questions I wanted to ask you,¡± Kisa said as she got up to lean onto the headboard. The man raised an eyebrow as he watched her, ¡°What questions?¡± His tone remained icy. Kisa touched her stomach and asked, ¡°Why did you think that I would abort the child behind your back?¡± This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert instantly narrowed his eyes, ¡°Did Kelvin tell you?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter who told me. Just answer my question.¡± Gilbert was silent for a moment. He took the box of cigarettes on the nightstand and shook it. He seemed a little irritated. Just as one of the cigarettes was about to get shaken out, he quickly shoved it back in. Kisa nced at him and said quietly, ¡°You mustn¡¯t smoke for the baby¡¯s sake.¡± Gilbert did not speak. Instead, he toyed with the box of cigarettes in irritation. After a while, he finally turned to look at her with evident annoyance in his eyes. ¡°Was I wrong? You told me more than once that you don¡¯t want my child.¡± ¡°Well¡­ No, I¡­¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t want my child so badly that you even took contraceptives. Now that you were forced to get pregnant again, wouldn¡¯t you secretly abort it?¡± ¡®Oh¡­ So this is the reason. I see where he¡¯sing from now. Previously, I did make it seem like I didn¡¯t want his child, so it¡¯s not surprising for him to have such thoughts. And I thought he misunderstood me in some way,¡¯ Kisa thought. She looked at Gilbert. Just as she was about to express her love for the child, the man suddenly spoke. He said quietly, ¡°Besides, you¡¯ve never willingly bore my children. That¡¯s why you never like any of my children. Back then, you even threatened me with the child you were carrying, so¡­¡± ¡°Hold on¡­ Hold on¡­ Hold on¡­¡± Kisa quickly cut him off. Then, she red at him with a frown, ¡°You better get things straight. What do you mean I threatened you with the child I was carrying? When did I threaten you? You clearly didn¡¯t want that child and kept on asking me to abort it.¡± At the mentio this incident, Kisa immediately felt furious and upset. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1310 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1310 Chapter 1310 If He Had Waited For Me Kisa stared at the man in front of her through teary eyes. ¡°You¡¯ll never know how it feels like to be a mother. Back then, I loved that child more than myself How could I use it to threaten you? You, on the other hand, were cold-blooded and heartless. You kept calling it a b*stard and saying it shouldn¡¯t live, you told me to abort it. You don¡¯t know how hopeless I felt and how much pain I was in,¡± she said in a choked voice. After she finished, she took a deep breath and wiped her tears. She continued, ¡°Even though it¡¯s all in the past, my heart still hurts when I think about it. This type of pain is something cold and ruthless people like you won¡¯t understand.¡± Gilbert stared intensely at her tear-filled eyes. He could not help but recall what Sharon had said to him outside of prison that New Year¡¯s Eve. ¡°Kisa said she won¡¯t let your child live if you don¡¯t let her leave prison.¡± That was what Sharon told me. However, I never once doubted whether these words truly came out of Kisa¡¯s mouth. Looking back, it seems like I made a mistake, thought Gilbert. The woman beside him lowered her gaze and had an angry and heartbroken expression. Gilbert could not help but reach out and hug her waist. However, she was obviously furious, she roughly flung his hand away and looked at him with a hateful gaze This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert pursed his lips and said resignedly, ¡°Back then, Sharon said you were using the baby to threaten me and that you wouldn¡¯t let the child be born if I didn¡¯t let you out of prison. That¡¯s why. Kisa instantly widened her eyes, ¡°She actually said that to you?¡± A momentter, she snorted icily, ¡°Gilbert Kooper, you were a capable man who hadplete control over everything; I can¡¯t believe you listened to whatever others said. Are you stupid? You actually believed her saying such a thing!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I wanted to believe her words, but I was biased toward you from the very start. That bias compelled me to picture you as a selfish and wicked woman,¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. You were biased toward me from the very start. I don¡¯t even know what I did to you,¡± Kisa sneered icily. Gilbert stared intensely at her with his dark eyes. ¡°You didn¡¯t cross me. It¡¯s just I was jealous, I was jealous of how you were always so close with. Jensen¡­¡± ¡°You idiot Back then, I only treated Jensen like a brother. Besides, I wanted to get close to you too. However, you always had a dark expression. Who¡¯d dare to get close to you?¡± Gilbert stared at her fixedly. He had an incredibly dark gaze. Kisa averted her gaze and said sadly, ¡°Anyhow, our first child still died in the fire because of you. It¡¯s something I can never forgive you for doing.¡± ¡®Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter whether Gilbert really is the mastermind behind the fire because he did send me to jail with his own hands. Back then, I was about to deliver the baby. If¡­ If he hadn¡¯t been so cruel and waited for me to deliver the child before sending me to prison, our baby wouldn¡¯t have died. Ultimately, he was too heartless and cruel, thought Kisa. At this thought, Kisa felt immense bitterness and pain within her heart. ¡®He killed the baby; this is the undeniable truth, she thought again. Kisa inhaled sadly. Then, shey down and had her back facing him. Kisa was not sure if it was because of her pregnancy, but she got emotional easily. When she thought of the pitiful child, she could not help but sob quietly. Gilbert peered at her slightly trembling shoulders. Momentster, he said in a low voice, ¡°What if I told you our first child is still alive?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1311 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1311 Chapter 1311 I¡¯ve Been Wronged Kisa froze, then turned to look at Gilbert. She was lying down while he was sitting. She could see the man¡¯s chiseled jawline and his dark eyes brimming with earnestness. Kisa¡¯s heart trembled. ¡°What Did you say?¡± she asked in a tense voice.I¡¯m saying our first child is still alive.¡± Hah! Kisa suddenlyughed sardonically. It sounded cold and ironic. She continued, ¡°Gilbert, haven¡¯t you hurt me enough? You¡¯re even telling me such lies. I¡¯m not lying to you. The child really is still alive.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Kisa snorted icily. She continued, ¡°Where¡¯s the child? Bring the child here and let me take a look.¡± Gilbert stared into her eyes and said slowly, ¡°You¡¯ve met them. They¡¯re¡­ Andrew and Ada.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart trembled once more. A momentter, she sneered so much she teared up. ¡°Gilbert Kooper, if you¡¯re going to lie, at least make it a little bit more convincing Did you forget that I¡¯ve already done a DNA test with Andrew and Ada? I got carried away with my imagination, they¡¯re not my children. I didn¡¯t expect you to lie to me this way. Do you think that I¡¯m naive or stupid?¡± The woman said as the hatred in her eyes grew more intense. Gilbert did not panic. ¡°They¡¯re blood rted. This cannot be changed in any way,¡¯ he thought. He alsoy down and pulled the woman into his arms. ¡°I don¡¯t know what went wrong that time, but the DNA test definitely was faked. Andrew and Adal are your children. This is the unchangeable truth.¡± ¡°Gilbert Kisa looked at him and sneered. She said with a sorrowful expression, ¡°Did you know when a lie is repeated time and again, it¡¯ll be a joke?¡± Gilbert wanted to say something. However, Kisa continued, ¡°I actually know who Andrew and Ada¡¯s mother is, so there¡¯s really no need for you to lie to me. I won¡¯t buy it. Gilbert was startled. He looked at her in confusion. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. This really is strange She¡¯s the children¡¯s mother Who else does she think their mother is he wondered. Kisa exined, ¡°I know you got drunk when you went on a business trip one time and ended up sleeping with a woman. After that, she got pregnant with your child. Grandma was worried that she¡¯d tie you down with the baby, so she settled the matter with the woman using money. She gave that woman lots of money with the condition that the child would belong to the Kooper family after it was born. On the other hand, she could never return to Athadale nor ever get involved with you again. Andrew and Ada are the children birthed by that woman.¡± After hearing Kisa¡¯s words, Gilbert was about to lose his mind. ¡®She¡¯s upgraded from an actress to a screenwriter. She actually thought of such a cliche scenario and put it on me. I¡¯ve been wronged! Not only did I sleep with an unknown woman out of nowhere, but I even got two children out of nowhere. I¡¯m impressed by her imagination. Seriously, the stuff going on in her little head really isn¡¯t something normal people can understand,¡¯ he thought. Kisa continued again, ¡°That¡¯s why you really don¡¯t have to use the children to lie to me; it¡¯s really unbelievable.¡± Gilbert peered at her icily, ¡°Then you¡¯re not mad at me for sleeping with that unknown woman? You don¡¯t mind?¡± ¡°Why should I be mad? Why should I mind?¡± Kisa asked glumly. Well, I definitely do mind. But¡­ He got set up by that woman when he was drunk on a business trip. I don¡¯t me him. It¡¯s like how my mother got framed and slept with Christopher Case, was David supposed to me my mother for being unfaithful to their rtionship? she wondered. Gilbert felt angry hearing the woman¡¯s nonchnt tone. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1312 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1312 Chapter 1312 You Really Have a Penchant for Lying ¡°I slept with another woman and had children with her, yet you really don¡¯t mind at all?¡± ¡®How infuriating!¡¯ thought Gilbert. The anger he had suppressed so far instantly shot up because of her. ¡®Ironically, she alwaysins to others about how quick-tempered I am and how I always have a dark expression, but does she hear herself always saying such infuriating things to me? If other men were put in my position, wouldn¡¯t they be angry too? he thought. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. However, Kisa still resented him because of the child, so she looked at him and lied, ¡°I don¡¯t mind, really. Now that I think about it, that outrageous night you had with the woman happened not long after we got married. You didn¡¯t acknowledge me as your wife back then and disliked me. That¡¯s why I don¡¯t have the right to mind you being with other women, right?¡± She was purposefully saying such things to make him shut up. Gilbert¡¯s gaze darkened further. There was evident hostility churning in his eyes. With a tense expression, he asked angrily in an icy tone, ¡°Did you make up what I did with that woman in your head by yourself, or did you hear it from someone?¡± ¡°Of course I heard it from someone. My imagination isn¡¯t that colorful.¡± ¡°That makes sense. If you made that up in your head, then something must be wrong with your head.¡± Gilbert suppressed his anger and growled lowly, ¡°Tell me, who¡¯d you hear such things from?¡± ¡®I¡¯m going to beat this person to a pulp! How infuriating! How dare that person nder my name! I¡¯ve only had this woman in front of me all my life, and I¡¯ve only had children with her, he thought Kisa peered at his dark, hostile expression. ¡°Do you really want to know?¡± sheughed icily. ¡°Say it!¡± ¡°Your grandmother,¡± Kisa chuckled. She continued, ¡°I heard about all that from your grandmother.¡± Gilbert instantly tightened his grip on Kisa¡¯s waist. Then, his eyebrows twitched with anger Kisa sneered, ¡°Were you thinking of making that person pay? What a shame. Since those things came out of your grandmother¡¯s mouth; you can¡¯t deny them now, huh?¡± She suddenly turned to him in disappointment, ¡°Gilbert, it actually doesn¡¯t matter who Andrew and Ada¡¯s mother is because I will still like them both. That¡¯s why you don¡¯t have to lie to me and say that they¡¯re my children.¡± ¡°They are your children. Grandma lied to you!¡± ¡°I eavesdropped by the stairs and heard her saying all this to George, so she didn¡¯t know I was there at all. Do you think she would purposefully make things up to lie to me?¡± ¡°She made it all up!¡± Gilbert was frustrated. This is a huge misunderstanding, he thought. Kisa nodded with augh, ¡°Fine, fine, fine. Even if grandma made all of that up, how do you exin the DNA test? Gilbert, you really have a penchant for lying, so I don¡¯t believe you. You also can¡¯t me me because you¡¯re rarely truthful to me.¡± Gilbert stared at her with a gloomy expression. He was so angry he no longer knew what to say He tried his best to suppress the anger he felt within. Then, he said in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s alright. When we¡¯re back in Calthon, I¡¯ll arrange another DNA test for you and the children. I¡¯ll make you believe that the two children are yours.¡± I¡¯ve calcted the risks, but her not believing Ada and Andrew are her children was not within my calctions. Grandma, too. I did not know grandma was ndering me this way behind my back. The thought of it is so infuriating and frustrating, he thought. Kisa peered at the man¡¯s firm gaze and said indifferently. ¡°Whatever. After all, DNA tests can be faked.¡± ¡°Are you really trying to rile me up?¡± Gilbert narrowed his eyes. While his tone sounded much calmer than before, there was a hint of iciness. Kisa snorted icily, Tm not riling you up; I¡¯m just telling the truth.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1313 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1313 Chapter 1313 The Same Bad Dream Right after Kisa spoke, she turned around so that her back was facing Gilbert. Gilbert stared deeply at the back of her head and did not continue exining himself. ¡®This woman¡¯s always been stubborn. Besides, she refuses to believe me, so there¡¯s no use if I don¡¯t have concrete evidence, he thought. When he thought of Kisa¡¯s unconcerned and icy words just now, he felt angry. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the woman¡¯s waist as he got angry. He wanted to mold her into his embrace At first, Kisa gritted her teeth and endured his perverted way of hugging. When she felt the paining from her waist, she finally lost her patience and growled lowly. Loosen your grip. Are you trying to strangle my current baby to death?¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert instantly retracted his arms as if he had touched something hot. ¡°You¡­ You Did I hurt you just now?¡± ¡°Mhm!¡± Kisa answered quietly. When she thought of how the man cared about the baby in her this much, she felt a mix of emotions. ¡°Even though I keep insisting that I don¡¯t believe that the two children are mine, I have to admit that I felt a hint of expectation and wavered when I heard him say it. Regardless, I definitely have to do another DNA test with Andrew and Ada,¡¯ she thought. The light switch clicked softly. The room quickly fell into darkness. Gilbert hugged her and buried his head in her neck. ¡°Let¡¯s not argue. It¡¯s reallyte; go sleep,¡± he said quietly. ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s always getting angry with me. Just now, you came back just with a dark and cold expression. Don¡¯te back if you¡¯re feeling so unhappy with me. Wouldn¡¯t you feel better if you just slept outside?¡± ¡°If I don¡¯te back, what happens if you get scared?¡± Kisa stiffened. ¡®Does this mean he returns to the room early every night and purposefully waits for me to wa before he leaves because he was worried that I¡¯d get scared? she wondered. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you only feel at ease when I¡¯m around?¡± The man mumbled at the back of her neck, and his warm breath entered her shirt cor It was warm and suggestive. Kisa¡¯s body was stiff, but her heart trembled. Suddenly, she thought of what Kelvin had told her today. He told her that Gilbert really loved her. Lea also said the same thing. ¡®Looking at it now, they might be right. If he doesn¡¯t love me, why would he be worried and scared for me? Why would he care about the baby in me so much? After all, he¡¯s not short of children. But if he really does love me, how do we exin the bad things he did to me in the past? she thought Once again, the room fell into silence. The man¡¯s embrace was warm andforting. Kisa slowly fell asleep with a heart filled with doubt and mixed emotions. Once again, she was in the mysterious and creepy garden in the cold, dim moonlight. In the garden, Kisa was running in a panic. However, the garden was sorge it was endless. No matter how she ran, she could not get out of the garden. From a distance, the terrifying-looking woman¡¯s silhouette slowly floated toward her Kisa was so frightened she shrieked. Then, she turned around and ran with all her might. ¡°Wake up, Kisa. Wake up.. Suddenly, a strong force shook her roughly. Then, there was a bright light. Kisa slowly opened her eyes and met Gilbert¡¯s worried gaze. ¡°Another bad dream?¡± Kisa stared at him in a daze. Momentster, she nodded her head. ¡°This is the second time,¡± she answered in a slightly erratic and hoarse voice. Gilbert frowned, ¡°What second time?¡± ¡°This dream, it¡¯s my second time having it.¡± Gilbert was confused. ¡°What dream?¡± ¡°A huge, mysterious garden with the¡­ silhouette of a woman with unkempt hair. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1314 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1314 Chapter 1314 He Must Be Bragging ¡°Garden? Silhouette of a woman?¡± Gilbert frowned deeply. ¡°Why¡¯d you have such a dream? You even had the same dream twice. Have you been to that garden? Do you know that woman?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°I find it odd too. Ever since I started staying at the Mullen residence, I¡¯ve been having this dream. I also keep finding the Mullen residence really creepy.¡± Gilbert stroked her back gently, ¡°Alright It¡¯s just a dream, not a foreshadowing Otherwise, you may as well be Superman.¡± The man said in a feigned light-hearted tone. He was just trying to calm the terrified woman down. Her forehead was drenched in sweat; it seemed like she was terrified by her dream. Kisa nodded, ¡°I also don¡¯t think it¡¯s a foreshadowing. I would think it¡¯s a coincidence if I had such at bizarre dream once since I¡¯ve changed to a different ce to stay and am not used to it. But this is the second time I¡¯m having this dream, so it¡¯s really weird.¡± ¡°After this, go see Kelvin.¡± Kisa turned to him in astonishment, ¡°What? Does Kelvin also know neuro-hypnotism?¡± Gilbert got up. ¡°He said so himself, he¡¯s all-rounded,¡± he said in amusement Kisa pouted, ¡°He must be bragging.¡± It was already bright out. However, it was still early in the morning, so the mirror was still a little fogged up. When Gilbert drew the blinds open, he could feel the chill of dawn brush past his face. Kisa peered at the backyard. ¡®From this direction, I can see everything in the backyard other than the restricted area. I¡¯ve done some surveying, and the restricted area cannot be seen from any angle within the entire house, she thought. ¡®It¡¯s obvious that Mr. Mullen Sr. deliberately studied the location before selecting it when he was building his so-called summer retreat. His purpose was not to let anyone see it. All of these indicate that Mr. Mullen Sr. has a secret he¡¯s trying to hide, and that secret is within that restricted area,¡± Her train of thought continued. The truth is, I¡¯m not purposefully prying other people¡¯s secrets, but I¡¯ve been feeling an incredibly unfriendly and cold gaze since the first day I arrived at the Mullen residence That gaze slithers. across my mind from time to time, like a venomous snake that¡¯s flicking its tongue out and gazing at me icily. I also have a feeling that the icy and mysterious gaze is rted to that restricted area.that¡¯s why I want to see what it is exactly.¡± However, Mr. Mullen Sr has clearly warned me not to step foot into the restricted area, so it¡¯ll be hard to get to the bottom of this mystery,¡¯ she pondered. She waspletely lost in thought. ¡°What are you thinking so hard about? Do you want to go back to sleep for a bit more?¡± While Kisa was in deep thought, she suddenly heard the man speak in a husky voice. She subconsciously lifted her head to look at him. The man¡¯s expression was cool, as per usual, but his usual gloominess and iciness were missing ¡®He seems to have forgotten about our fightst night, thought Kisa. Kisa did not want to bring it up either, so she merely asked him, ¡°Do you know there¡¯s a restricted area¡¯ in the backyard?¡± Gilbert nodded, ¡°I do.¡± ¡°You do?¡± Kisa was shocked She thought he did not know. ¡°Do you know what¡¯s inside, then?¡± Seeing the woman¡¯s eyes light up, Gilbert was amused. ¡°It¡¯s the Mullen family¡¯s ¡®restricted area, so of course I haven¡¯t been there.¡± Kisa¡¯s shoulders drooped in disappointment. Meanwhile, Gilbert leaned against the mirror and breathed in the fresh morning air T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. The house¡¯s location was excellent, it was situated by the mountain and near the streams. While it was a little secluded, the air there was particrly fresh. Gilbert nced at the huge backyard. Then, he looked at the woman on the bed. ¡°Years ago, the media reported about the ¡®restricted area in the Mullen residence, piquing the curiosity of many within Athadale. However, the news waster silenced by the Mullen family. Over time, people stopped bringing it up.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1315 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1315 Chapter 1315 Chosen My Gravesite ¡°I heard that a summer retreat was built in there; a water pipe connects to the stream of the mountain beside. The water¡¯s cool during the summer and warm during the winter. Moreover, its interior is also exceptionally stunning. I also heard there¡¯s a massive garden that looks like paradise.¡± A garden? wondered Kisa. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the bizarre garden in her dream. She could not help but shudder Momentster, she shook her head. It¡¯s just a dream. How could it be so coincidental? she thought. She looked at Gilbert, ¡°Do you really buy it? A summer retreat?¡± Gilbert shook his head, ¡°Of course not. After all, there¡¯s no need to act so mysteriously and guarded if it¡¯s a summer retreat.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t, either. It would make more sense if other people in the Mullen family could enter The thing is, Mr Mullen Sr isn¡¯t allowing his family members inside either and there are many bodyguards in the restricted area. That¡¯s why I think there¡¯s definitely a secret within.¡± Gilbert walked over and stroked her messy hair ¡°Whatever secret¡¯s within, it¡¯s still the Mullen family¡¯s secret Why are you being so curious?¡± he said with a smile. Kisa looked at the backyard outside of the window Then, she said in a low voice, ¡°I have to find a way to get inside and take a look.¡± Gilbert gazed at her with a frown. ¡®Isn¡¯t this woman way too curious? he thought. After breakfast, Kisa followed Kelvin to the backyard to meet Vivian. Gilbert did not go out today but followed them to Vivian¡¯s ce, which was situated in the backyard. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. However, Vivian hated people from the Kooper family, so Gilbert did not enter and just stayed in the courtyard outside her house. Vivian¡¯splexion looked significantly better than two days ago. She also had a slight smile on her face. Kisa smiled at her, ¡°Ms. Mullen, Dr. Hoover says there¡¯s hope for your legs.¡± Vivian nodded. She had an emotional expression that contained a hint of worry. ¡°Dr Hoover already told me yesterday, but I don¡¯t dare to be too hopeful. After all, it¡¯s been years. ¡°Don¡¯t be silly, it¡¯s just a problem with legs. This is no big deal for a medical genius like me.elvin puffed his chest and had a proud expression which eased Vivian¡¯s worries. The servants took out several chairs. Kelvin sat down across from Vivian and opened his medical kit. Then, he said to her, ¡°I¡¯m going to perform the acupuncture on you. At first, it might not be effective, but don¡¯t worry. Generally, it takes a least half a month of treatment before its effects can be seen. Once your legs regain sensation, I¡¯ll give you systemic therapy* Once again, Vivian had a worried expression, ¡°What happens if there¡¯s no effect after half a month? ¡°Then we¡¯ll see the results after a month. If you still don¡¯t feel any sensation after a month, then Your legs are a lost cause.¡± The hope and light in Vivian¡¯s eyes instantly dissipated. She pulled the nket that had been lifted, and it covered her legspletely. Then, she said in low spirits, ¡°Then I¡¯d better not receive treatment. The higher my hopes, the more disappointed I¡¯ll get. After all, my father¡¯s hired many experts to treat me in the past but none of them managed to do anything Over the years, I¡¯ve gone through so much disappointment and hopelessness, so don¡¯t want to go through it all over again.¡± Hearing this, Kelvin had a glum expression. ¡°How could those expertspare to me? They¡¯re merely experts, while I¡¯m a recognized genius in the medical field. Look at her,¡± he said as he pointed at Kisa. He continued, ¡°Back then, she was about to die and holding onto herst breath. I was the one who saved her from death¡¯s door Vivian looked at Kisa out of reflex. Kisa quicklyughed. ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s true. Back then, I¡¯d even chosen my gravesite. I never expected to actually survive.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1316 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1316 Chapter 1316 Outsider She had even chosen her gravesite¡­ thought Gilbert. Gilbert was leaning on the wall in the courtyard outside. When he heard Kisa¡¯s words, his heart clenched. Back then, she must¡¯ve had the mentality that she was definitely going to die. Thankfully, she survived. Otherwise, what would I do? he thought. ¡°But I¡­ I¡¯m worried that I¡¯ll get my hopes up for nothing, ¡°Vivian gripped her nket and said dejectedly. She was feeling a mix of emotions. Just as she was about to speak, three persons entered the courtyard. It was Mr and Mrs. Mullen Sr., and Adrien. Seeing Adrien, Kisa got an idea. She said to Vivian, ¡°You should give it a shot, even if it¡¯s a small glimmer of hope. Otherwise, how will you stand up and make that person pay? Go find that person and avenge yourself, right?¡± Then, she subtly nced at Adrien. Unfortunately, Adrien¡¯s expression remained indifferent, as if he were just an outsider. Kisa¡¯s gaze darkened. She suddenly found the man¡¯s calmness and indifference a little intentional. If he were really an outsider and not close with Vivian, then he wouldn¡¯t have a reason to constantly come visit Vivian at all. He¡¯s now here to see Vivian, yet there isn¡¯t a hint of worry or concern on his face. The indifference on his face seems forced, as if he¡¯s doing it for show, she thought. Vivian gripped her nket tightly. When Mrs. Mullen Sr. saw the expression on her daughter¡¯s face, she asked Kisa and Kelvin,¡± What¡¯s the matter? Didn¡¯t you say you can cure my daughter¡¯s legs?¡± Before Kelvin could respond, Kisa answered Mrs. Mullen Sr. with a smile, ¡°Ms. Mullen is worried that her legs can¡¯t be cured and that she¡¯ll get her hopes up for nothing, so she¡¯s a little hesitant for Dr Hoover to treat her.¡± ¡°This won¡¯t do!¡± Mrs. Mullen Sr pulled Vivian¡¯s hand in a panic. Then, she persuaded her earnestly, ¡°Vivian, you need to give it a try no matter what. As long as you give it a shot, there¡¯s still a glimmer of hope. Vivian bit her lip hard. She was holding back and woeful. Fortunately, she did not have an emotional breakdown and flip out as she did that day. Trying to inspire her, Kisa said, ¡°That¡¯s right, Ms. Mullen. Didn¡¯t you want to seek revenge on that person? How can you take revenge when you don¡¯t even have the courage to stand up? That person hurt you so deeply, don¡¯t expect him to have the conscience toe back to see you. What¡¯s the use of feeling resentment and anger? The anger will only force you into a dead-end That¡¯s why you should be brave Stand up for yourself and find that man. Then, end your nearly twenty year grudge so that you won¡¯t have any regrets. Am I right?¡± Sure enough, Kisa¡¯s words evoked a reaction out of Vivian. Vivian¡¯s grip on the nketid on her legs tightened further Then, Kisa turned to Adrien, ¡°Am I right, Mr Tanner?¡± Adrien seemed like he did not expect Kisa to suddenly ask him a question. He seemed stunned Momentster, he looked at Kisa with an inquisitive gaze. Kisa chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m only asking Mr Tanner because I think he¡¯s an outsider and knowledgeable Then, Adrien finally smiled, ¡°Mhm. You¡¯re very right. Don¡¯t expect others to avenge your own grudge. Some grudges can only be settled if you take revenge yourself Mrs. Mullen Sr patted her daughter¡¯s hand gently. ¡°That¡¯s right. They¡¯re all right. Give it a try. Don¡¯t make me worry about you when I¡¯m so old.¡± Vivian was choked up as she looked at her mother A momentter, she said to Kelvin, ¡°Alright I¡¯ll receive treatment.¡± Just then, the servants brought out tea. After handing out the cups to Mrs. Mullen Sr. and Adrien, only one cup was left. The servant handed the cup of tea to Kisa. Just as Kisa took the cup, Kelvin snatched it over The servant instantly panicked.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. Chapter 1317 Chapter 1317 Chapter 1317 Something Off with the Tea ¡°That¡¯s¡­ That¡¯s for Mrs. Kooper, sir. I can get you another cup if you want some.¡± The servant seemed really panicked and almost reached out to snatch the cup back. Kisa stared at the servant skeptically. She had a nagging feeling something was off. ¡®It¡¯s just a cup of tea. Besides, Kelvin is here to treat Ms. Mullen¡¯s legs; this makes his status more distinguished than mine, so that cup of tea should be given to Kelvin first. Since Kelvin had snatched it away himself, it should be fine. Why¡¯s this servant in such a panic?¡¯ she wondered. ¡°I can¡¯t drink it just because it¡¯s for her?¡± Kelvin nced at the servant icily. He continued, ¡°As a guest of the Mullen family and someone who¡¯s here to treat Ms. Mullen¡¯s legs, I can¡¯t even have a cup of tea when I¡¯m thirsty?¡± Then, he downed the entire cup of tea angrily. ¡®Tsk! I¡¯m the young master of the Hoover family and have an entourage whenever I leave the house, yet here I am, being sidelined by a servant. I¡¯m speechless,¡® thought Kelvin. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Mrs. Mullen Sr. was worried that Kelvin would get angry, so she quickly reprimanded the servant,¡± Mr. Hoover is our guest; how could you be so inattentive to him. Since he¡¯s already taken the tea, get Mrs. Kooper a new cup.¡± ¡°Yes¡­ Yes.¡± The servant nced at Kisa before hurrying back into the house. Vivian pulled her mother aside, ¡°Forget it, mom. Not many peoplee to my ce often; she¡¯s just not used to it.¡± ¡°Hmph! If it wasn¡¯t because she had taken care of you over these years, I would¡¯ve fired her just now.¡± ¡°Alright. The truth is, your family¡¯s hospitality is questionable, so don¡¯t me everything on the servants.¡± Kelvin leaned onto the chair and said slowly. ¡®Truth be told, I¡¯m not that fond of the Mullen family because of Anthony Mullen. If it weren¡¯t because Kisa wanted me to treat Ms. Mullen¡¯s legs, I wouldn¡¯t even bothering,¡® he thought. Mr. Mullen Sr. nced at him and suddenly snorted, ¡°Even if the Mullen family really has problems with hospitality, we do have basic etiquette. The Mullen family treated you, Mr. Kooper, and Mrs. Kooper with the best etiquette, did we not?¡± ¡°Mhm¡­¡± Kelvin nodded indifferently. Meanwhile, Kisa felt embarrassed. ¡®Kelvin is being so arrogant. Even if he feels discontentment toward the Mullen family, couldn¡¯t he hold it in first? After all, we¡¯re on their turf right now. Sigh!¡® she thought. ¡°You, on the other hand, Dr. Hoover, don¡¯t just keep bragging. If you can¡¯t cure my daughter¡¯s legs, your title as the medical genius might waver.¡± Kelvin leaned against the chair in a sloppy manner. Then, he smiled haughtily, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. They don¡¯t call me a medical genius for nothing. I dare say no one else in the world can cure her legs other than me.¡± ¡°Hah. It seems like you¡¯re very confident, Dr. Hoover. Then I shall look forward to the results of my daughter¡¯s treatment,¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. said. Then, he snorted quietly and left. After Mr. Mullen Sr. left, Mrs. Mullen Sr. and Adrien followed suit. The servant then brought out another three cups of tea. After handing Vivian and Kelvin a cup each, the servant finally gave thest cup to Kisa. Kisa subconsciously shook her head, ¡°Thank you, but I¡¯m not thirsty.¡± ¡°The autumn weather is dry. Have some to drink, Mrs. Kooper. It¡¯s good for your body and skin,¡± the servant said with a smile. Kisa had a feeling something was off, but she could not tell what. Suddenly, Vivian said to her, ¡°This is a new flower tea we just bought. It¡¯s suitable to be consumed in late fall and dispels heat within the body. You can give it a try.¡± Kisa nced at the tea. ¡®It looks clear and refreshing; it doesn¡¯t seem like there¡¯s anything amiss. Besides, everyone¡¯s drinking it too,¡® she thought. Kisa did not think any further. She grabbed the cup and took two sips. Chapter 1318 Chapter 1318 Chapter 1318 Sick Obsession The tea was refreshing. After that, Kelvin began treating Vivian with his needle technique for the first time. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Kisa was a little annoyed when she thought about how Gilbert did not stay with her aftering here together. So, she went outside to look for him. However, she did not see Gilbert anywhere. The only signs he had been around were a few cigarette butts around the edge of the wall. She nced at the logo on the cigarette butts and found out that it was Gilbert¡¯s go¨Cto brand. ¡®It seems like he stayed here for some time.¡® Kisa looked up and gazed around, but still could not see him anywhere. ¡®He probably left,¡® she thought to herself. Then, she turned around and looked at Kelvin and Vivian. Kelvin had a thin and long needle made of silver in his hand Then, he poked it into Vivian¡¯s leg carefully. Vivian looked very nervous and excited. ¡®I guess the treatment isn¡¯t going to be done anytime soon.¡® Kisa thought to herself. Then, she turned around and walked toward the ancestral hall. Even though Anthony had been made to kneel in the ancestral hall as a punishment, nobody knew if he would meet Lea again after he was free. Kisa gave Lea a call this morning, but she did not pick up. Instead, Lea sent Kisa a text, telling her that she was fine. ¡®It looks like she still can¡¯t get over it yet.¡® Kisa figured out she had to talk to Anthony about it and make him spare Lea. Otherwise, his cruel and ruthless words would most probably drive Lea to desperation. The ancestral hall did not look as creepy as it did at night during the day. The backyard of the Mullen residence was so big, that it could bepared to a park. Kisa only reached the ancestral hall after about thirty minutes of walking. There was nobody around it. Kisa looked inside and saw Anthony kneeling alone. Jane was not there either. Kisa looked at Anthony¡¯s upright back and thought to herself. ¡®Anthony is such a heartless and wicked person. I didn¡¯t expect him to be so obedient to his father. Nobody¡¯s here, and there¡¯s no need for him to kneel at all. He could be cking, and no one would ever know.¡® Kisa walked toward him slowly. Anthony was bowing his head down, looking a little dull. She went beside him, but Anthony did not move at all. Kisa pursed her lips and said, ¡°I have something to talk to you about.¡± Anthony reacted as if he was not expecting her to be there at all. He lifted his head immediately. He glowered at Kisa with his bloodshot eyes. His handsome face looked very haggard, yet still as ferocious as ever. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± ¡°I want talk to you about Lea.¡± Kisa stared at him emotionlessly. She knew that she should not interfere with their rtionship. But she was just very worried that Lea would do something to hurt herself. Her stomach would flutter every time she thought about how defeated Lea looked the other day. ¡°Did¡­ she really have my baby?¡± Anthony just had to get an answer. Kisa replied tly, ¡°Regardless of whether she did or not, please just let her live her own life. I know you¡¯re just using her as a pawn against me. However, I can tell you that she¡¯s no use to you anymore. So please, just let her go.¡± ¡°Heh heh¡­¡± Anthony suddenly started tough creepily. ¡°Did she ask you to tell me this?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then please tell her to give up on that idea! I¡¯m never going to leave her alone as long as I¡¯m still alive!¡± Kisa stared nkly at that aggressive man in front of her. He reminded her of the old Gilbert. Gilbert had wanted her to die so badly, that he said something simr as well. Kisa could not help but wonder to herself. ¡®Is this man somehow obsessed with Lea in his own twisted, perverted way? Does he hate her? Or does he¡­ care about her?¡® Kisa looked at him, confused. Chapter 1319 Chapter 1319 Chapter 1319 Leave Her No Way Out ¡°What¡¯s the point of you forcing her to be with you? ¡°You should know very well that everyone in your family, including you, looks down on her. None of you will ever let her be a part of the Mullen family. Why won¡¯t you just leave her alone? If you really care about her, you should¡¯ve been more considerate and defended her when you had the chance, instead of treating her like trash. Not only that, why did you me her for embarrassing you when she was the one who was mistreated?¡± ¡°Hmph. Care?¡± Anthony scoffed. ¡°I¡¯ve slept with so many women. She¡¯s the worst and cheapest one I¡¯ve ever been with.¡± Kisa clenched her fists and smiled coldly. ¡°Doesn¡¯t that just give you one more reason to leave her? None of the women you slept with had treated you genuinely other than her. ¡°Is it that hard for you to let go of a woman that you don¡¯t care about, yet loves you so much?¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Suddenly, Anthony yelled at her. Then, he said to Kisa coldly with his bloodshot eyes, ¡°You¡¯d better stay out of this.¡± Kisa stared at him indifferently and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have a choice. She just loves you too much and she¡¯s willing to give up everything for you. The way you treated her so disdainfully and heartlessly turned the feelings she has for you into a weapon against herself. So again, please let her go. I don¡¯t want you to leave her no way out.¡± ¡°Leave her no way out?¡± Anthony smiled coldly. He looked at Kisa viciously and disagreed with the things she said. ¡°I gave her money and provided her with afortable life. How am I leaving her no way out? ¡°Mrs. Kooper, you should just keep your mouth shut if you don¡¯t know anything, okay?¡± His gaze turned more aggressive as he spoke. Kisa shook her head helplessly. She thought that Anthony would understand what she said. Unfortunately, a man like him knew nothing about love. Then, Kisa said to him in a very serious manner, ¡°Words are sharper than swords, especially if they come from a loved one. I¡¯ve said everything I came here to. Think about it. Even if it¡¯s only out of pity, please just leave her alone.¡± Anthony sneered, looking cold. Kisa clenched her fists tight again. ¡°Your cold and stubborn character is going to kill her sooner orter. Think about it.¡± Kisa did not want to spend any more time with him after saying that, so she turned around and left. Anthony tightened his fists as he lifted the edge of his mouth mischievously. ¡®Kill her? She listens to everything I say. She¡¯ll never be bold enough to end her own life unless I allow her to!¡® As soon as she stepped out of the ancestral hall, Kisa saw a figure standing under the tree not far away from her That person was tall and had a cigarette between his fingers. ¡®That¡¯s got to be Gilbert. That¡¯s strange. Didn¡¯t he go back? When did hee here? I wonder if I got here before him.¡® Kisa remembered that she had taken a look around when she arrived, but she had not seen him anywhere. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. ¡®Whatever.¡® She was getting used to how unpredictable Gilbert always was. Kisa walked toward that figure. Gilbert put his cigarette out and fan the smoke away with his hand after he saw Kisa. Kisa smiled. ¡°I¡¯m surprised that you¡¯re being so considerate of the baby.¡± Gilbert looked at her as if she was stupid. ¡°That¡¯s my baby. If I myself don¡¯t care about him, who would?¡± Kisa mocked him. ¡°You didn¡¯t care about your first baby as much as this one.¡± ¡°Who said so? You just didn¡¯t notice it when I did.¡± Kisa paused and looked at him deeply. Chapter 1320 Chapter 1320 Chapter 1320 She¡¯s Pregnant ¡°What do you mean I didn¡¯t pay enough attention to you? Heh. Tell me now, what did you do to care for that baby?¡± Kisa gazed at him deeply and spoke in a sarcastic and indifferent tone. Gilbert got mad and said in a low voice, ¡°Just go ahead and think whatever you want then. It¡¯s not like you¡¯d trust anything I say anyway.¡± He turned around and walked back to the main building in the mansion after saying that. Kisa tightened her fists and as she froze in ce. ¡®Why didn¡¯t he give me another month if he really cared about that baby? Why would he be so eager to send me to prison? He only acted like this because he wanted me to tell him where Sara was, didn¡¯t he? Hmph. Now he¡¯s telling me that he cared about that baby?! As if I¡¯d believe him!¡® Kisa thought to herself furiously as her eyes reddened. Gilbert noticed that Kisa did not follow behind him after walking for a while. He sighed soundlessly. Then, he turned around and retraced his steps. He saw Kisa standing under that big tree with her red eyes from a distance. He felt frustrated. ¡®She¡¯d never believe anything I say. She¡¯s always being so stubborn, insisting that I¡¯m an evil man. Ultimately, she¡¯s the only person getting upset. Why can¡¯t she just think better of me? That way, everyone can be happy.¡¯Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. He strode toward Kisa and held her hand. Then, he asked in a deep voice, ¡°Tell me, how do I treat Andrew and Ada?¡°. ¡°Good, of course. You treat them like treasures because another woman gave birth to them!¡± Kisa sobbed out as tears welled up in her eyes. Gilbert felt like rolling his eyes. He desperately wished that he could bring her back to Calthon right away, so that she could take a paternity test with Andrew and Ada. That way, she would be utterly convinced. Gilbert was frustrated, but he did not want to argue with her since she was pregnant, so he just grabbed her hand and walked toward the main building. After walking past a small fountain, they bumped into Kelvin. Kelvin was carrying a bag of medicine on his back. He looked like he was just done with Vivian¡¯s treatment. However, Vivian stayed very near to the main building, and he could have just gone back there without taking this route. That small fountain was rather far away from the main building. ¡°Hey, I finally found you.¡± Kelvin spoke as if he had finally met his lifesaver. Then, he walked toward them hurriedly. ¡°This yard is ridiculously huge. I couldn¡¯t find my way back to the main building after circling around for some time. I got so scared earlier.¡± Kelvin spoke as he clutched his chest as if he still could not get over what scared him just now. Kisa asked him curiously. ¡°Why? What happened?¡± ¡°Remember how I went to visit Ms. Mullen yesterday, right? A maid brought me there and led me back. ¡°However, both of you left before the treatment ended. So, I had no choice but to go back on my own after that, but the yard is just too huge. I couldn¡¯t find my way back after circling around here for some time. Then, I saw a well¨Cdesigned arched door with lots of greenery and flowers behind it, so of course I got curious and went inside.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart dropped as she heard what Kelvin said. ¡°You didn¡¯t just go into the prohibited area of the Mullen residence, did you?¡± Kelvin paused. ¡®Oh, no! There¡¯s a prohibited area in the Mullen residence and nobody really knows anything about it. Even the press made big news out of it back then. Tsk! Did I really just break into the prohibited area?¡® Then, Kisa quickly asked him, ¡°What did you see in there?¡± ¡°What do you think?!¡± Kelvin said fearfully, holding onto his chest. Chapter 1321 Chapter 1321 Chapter 1321 Trespassing ¡°A group of bodyguards in suits appeared out of nowhere and gave me a heart attack before I could see anything inside. All of them were armed, too. If I hadn¡¯t acted fast enough and ran out of there, I wouldn¡¯t be here in front of you two. Ugh. This ce is f*cking terrifying!¡± Kisa looked at him in surprise. ¡°Really? How many bodyguards were there? Did you see clearly?¡± ¡°Ten, at least. All of them looked big and ferocious,¡± Kelvin said in a deep voice. ¡°What do you think is in there? The security¡¯s so tight. Could the Mullens be hiding some kind of treasure inside?¡± ¡°You¡¯re right,¡± Kisa answered subconsciously. Kelvin froze. Then, he looked at Kisa curiously. ¡°Really? Mr. Mullen Sr. probably already has everything he could ever want, right? I wonder what kind of treasure would make him take such strict security measures?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°Mr. Mullen Sr. admitted that there¡¯s something precious in there, and he even warned me not to go inside without permission. Otherwise, there¡¯d be consequences.¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk¡­ I¡¯m sure that he¡¯s hiding something in there.¡± ¡°Right. I think so too.¡± As the two of them chatted happily with each other, Gilbert realized that he was once again the unwanted person in that conversation. His face darkened. Then, he said in a low voice, ¡°Let¡¯s head back.¡± Kelvin paused and immediately nodded. ¡°Y¨CYes. We should go back now. I¡¯ve got to sleep my fear away.¡± He looked at Gilbert and continued, ¡°W¨CWhich direction should we go? I¡¯ve been to the same ce thrice before I broke into the prohibited area. Boo¨Choo¡­¡± Kisa smiled awkwardly. ¡°You¡¯ve been to Ms. Mullen¡¯s ce for three times now, right? Why would you still be lost?¡± Kelvin was left speechless. Then, Gilbert said casually, ¡°It¡¯s nothing surprising. He¡¯s never had a good sense of direction.¡± Kisa looked at Kelvin, surprised. She had no idea that Kelvin¡¯s sense of direction was so poor despite growing up together with him. ¡°What if he gets lost when he¡¯s on a date with his girlfriend?¡± ¡°That¡¯s something Gracie doesn¡¯t like about him. How could a big man like him have no sense of direction? Gracie had to step up and lead the way whenever they got lost,¡± Gilbert replied, chuckling. Kelvin¡¯s face darkened. Kisaughed without holding back. Kelvin red at her irritably and said in a hostile tone, ¡°Stopughing!¡± Gilbert squinted. ¡°What are you going to do about it?¡± Kelvin shifted his gaze at him. ¡°I wasn¡¯t talking to you!¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same if you were talking to her.¡± Both men¡¯s faces darkened, yet they were just arguing over something so small. Kisa was amused as she shook her head and said to Kelvin, ¡°Fine. I¡¯m not going to make fun of you anymore. After all, it¡¯s nothing embarrassing to have no sense of direction. I¡¯m just like you.¡± Gilbert immediately chimed in casually. ¡°You¡¯re different. It¡¯s normal for a woman to have no sense of direction, but not for a man with a healthy brain!¡± ¡°What?!¡± Kelvin glowered at Gilbert while gritting his teeth. Gilbert slightly squinted and spoke in an intimidating tone. ¡°You¡¯d better stop staring at me!¡± Kelvin curled his lips before moving his gaze away unwillingly. Kisa was speechless. ¡®Gilbert is so unbearable. He¡¯s always bullying others like this. Kelvin is always afraid of him. Actually, every kid who used to hang out with him was afraid of him. Except for Jensen.¡® Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. Kisa¡¯s mood took a big turn as soon as she thought about Jensen. She walked forward and led Kelvin as she asked, ¡°What¡¯s the actual probability of Ms. Mullen¡¯s leg recovering?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. I¡¯m an all¨Cround genius doctor. I can guarantee at least fifty percent judging by her condition.¡± ¡®All¨Cround¡­¡® As she thought about that word, a question popped into her head. Chapter 1322 Chapter 1322 Chapter 1322 Looking Completely Different Kisa turned and looked at Kelvin. ¡°Did you say that you¡¯re an all¨Crounder?¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Yeah. I¡¯m pretty skilled in maternity too. You can hit me up anytime if you¡¯re facing any problem of that sort.¡± Kelvin smiled as he spoke. Then, he felt a chilly gaze sneaking up on him. He turned around and saw that jealous man glowering at him aggressively. Kelvin was ridiculed as he rolled his eyes. Then, he said to Gilbert, ¡°Please bear in mind that I¡¯m a doctor. I treat everybody equally.¡± Kisa realized how hostile Gilbert looked when he stared at Kelvin. She could not stand him anymore, so she slightly pushed Gilbert away. ¡°That¡¯s enough. We know how impressive you are, and we can never be as good as you. So, please stop ring at us with those vicious eyes. We¡¯ll stop upsetting you.¡± Then, Kisa dragged Kelvin and went under a tree¡¯s shade at the side as if she was going to whisper something to him. Gilbert stared at them deeply as he clenched his fists tight. ¡®Hmph. I just became an unwanted guest again.¡¯ Kelvin looked at Gilbert, who was squatting down while smoking, and asked Kisa, ¡°What do you want to tell me? Didn¡¯t you see the look on your man¡¯s face? Are you trying to get me beaten up?!¡± ¡°He¡¯s just a madman who¡¯d get angry at everything. How ridiculous!¡± Kelvin nodded agreeably, but he was still looking very piteous. ¡°Kisa, I don¡¯t think we should talk about him behind his back like this. Look at him, his face looks scarier than the devil himself. ¡°We both know how hot¨Ctempered that man is, and there¡¯s no need to badmouth him like this. Things won¡¯t be good if he heard us.¡± Kelvin was about to walk away after saying that. However, Kisa grabbed his arm. ¡°Wait. I have something to ask you.¡± Kelvin was shocked. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re an all¨Crounder? Are you good at cosmetic surgery?¡± Kelvin immediately nodded. ¡°Yeah. Why is that? Are you nning to have one?¡± Then, he tried to persuade Kisa with a doleful look on his face, ¡°Kisa, listen to me. You don¡¯t need a makeover at all. You already look very beautiful.¡± Kisa blushed. ¡°It¡¯s not that. Would you listen to me first?¡± Kelvin pursed his lips and nodded. ¡°Go ahead.¡± ¡°If a person had major stic surgery and that person is lookingpletely different from how he used to look, would you be able to tell if his face is natural or not with your experience?¡± Kelvin frowned and looked serious. ¡°I¡¯m sure that there would be some very obvious signs if it was a major one. Whom are you talking about?¡± ¡°Adrien Tanner.¡± ¡°What?¡± Kelvin stared at her confusedly. ¡°Did Mr. Tanner have stic surgery? How did he look like?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. It¡¯s just a hunch. So, I want you to observe him and let me know if he¡¯s had stic surgery before.¡± Kelvin furrowed his brows. ¡°I¡¯ve met with him a few times. His face looks rather natural and doesn¡¯t look like it¡¯s been altered at all.¡± ¡°Are you saying that he really does look like that? Did I guess wrongly?¡± Kelvin shook his head. ¡°Not necessarily. He could look just as natural if his surgeon is exceptionally good.¡± ¡°So, you¡¯re telling me that there¡¯s no way to tell if his face is natural or not?¡± Kelvin continued after looking at Kisa¡¯s disappointed face. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it first. I¡¯ll keep an eye out on him to see if I can notice anything strange on his face.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Kisa nodded and smiled at him. ¡°You¡¯re a very helpful all¨Caround doctor, after all.¡± ¡°Of course. Just hit me up whenever you¡¯re sick.¡± They chatted happily. However, as soon as they turned around, they bumped into a wall of flesh. Chapter 1323 Chapter 1323 Chapter 1323 I Don¡¯t Want My Baby to Suffer Gilbert¡¯s face was red with anger. ¡°Is there really so much for you to talk about? I just finished two sticks of cigarettes, yet both of you are still chatting?! What is this about? Is it really so funny that both of you are smiling so happily?¡± Kelvin and Kisa immediately put their smiles away. Then, Kelvin gazed at him resentfully. ¡°You¡¯re the one who asked me toe here. Why are you getting so angry now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m asking you to leave now then. Get lost.¡± ¡°Y¨CYou¡¯d better watch your words!¡± Kelvin was frustrated. ¡®This guy is getting more and more reckless. He¡¯s only taking his anger out on me because he¡¯s afraid of his own wife. Damn it!¡® Kisa looked up and saw Gilbert¡¯s dark expression. Then, her eyes sparkled as she purposely held her hand on her stomach and said, ¡°Ah, my stomach hurts. Let¡¯s head back. I need to lie down.¡± ¡®Gilbert cares about the baby a lot. I¡¯m sure that he won¡¯t ignore the baby no matter how angry he is, right?¡® As expected, the look on Gilbert¡¯s face immediately changed. He wrapped his arm around Kisa¡¯s shoulder and asked nervously, ¡°Why is your stomach hurting? Are you too tired?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s just aching a little. Let¡¯s stop arguing and head back. I need to take a rest.¡± Gilbert arched his brows and looked at her, confused. Kelvin got a little worried as he asked, ¡°Kisa, do you want me to have a look at you?¡± Kisa was just about to refuse him, but Gilbert beat her to it. ¡°No. Just go!¡± Gilbert bent down slightly. Then, before she could do anything, he ced his long arms behind Kisa¡¯s knees and held her up. Kisa was shocked. Then, she said awkwardly, ¡°There¡¯s no need for this. I can walk on my own.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that your stomach hurts?¡± Gilbert gazed downward at her, looking indifferent. Kisa smiled ufortably. ¡°It¡¯s bearable. I can still walk.¡± ¡°It¡¯s bearable for you, but I¡¯m not sure if it is for my baby!¡± Gilbert said that before taking big strides toward the main building. Kelvin froze in ce for a few seconds. Then, he quickly followed them. The yard was huge, and they would bump into different gardeners on their way back. Kisa was extremely embarrassed and all she could do was bury her face into the man¡¯s muscr chest. She would feel the same if she was in her own house, but not someone else¡¯s yard. She slightly looked up and said to the man after she saw that nobody was around, ¡°My stomach¡¯s fine now. Please put me down.¡± This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert ignored her and kept walking while looking straight ahead. Kisa could only see his well¨Cdefined jaw and seductive Adam¡¯s apple. She pursed her lips and said again, ¡°Gilbert, my stomach doesn¡¯t hurt anymore. I can walk on my own.¡± Then, Gilbert shifted his gaze at her. ¡°It only stopped hurting because I¡¯m carrying you, so I can¡¯t put you down.¡± ¡°Ugh!¡± Kisa was beginning to regret her acting after looking at how stubborn Gilbert was being. ¡®I shouldn¡¯t have lied. If we go into the main building and everyone sees me like this, I¡¯m going to die of embarrassment! I¡¯m just going to bury my face in his chest. If I can¡¯t see anyone¡¯s face, it won¡¯t be awkward for me!¡® Suddenly, that chilly feeling came back. She felt like she was being stared at by some evil and vicious gaze. Kisa frowned and looked at her surroundings. Then, she realized that they were passing by the ¡°prohibited area¡°. However, there was no one around there except for them. Kisa felt very puzzled as she could not figure out where that cold gaze came from. ¡®Is that just my illusion? But this isn¡¯t my first time feeling this. I¡¯m sure that it¡¯s not just an illusion.¡± She stared at that arched door of the ¡°prohibited area¡°. She just had a feeling that the cold gaze was coming from in there. ¡®What¡¯s behind that door?¡® She could not help but get more and more curious. ¡°Kisa, what are you looking at?¡± Chapter 1324 Chapter 1324 Chapter 1324 Do You Think I¡¯m Sick? Suddenly, Kelvin asked Kisa what she was looking at. Kisa came around and realized that Gilbert was looking at her too, with his cold gaze Then, she pursed her lips and said, ¡°Nothing. I¡¯m just wondering what¡¯s behind that door.¡± Kelvin burst outughing. ¡°Me too, but I don¡¯t dare to go in there again. It¡¯s just f*cking terrifying.¡± Gilbert looked at her deeply. ¡°Are you really so curious about it?¡± ¡®I can¡¯t stand this woman. We¡¯re already so far away from that arched door, but her gaze has never left it until now, Gilbert thought. Kisa nodded. ¡°Yeah. Kelvin is too.¡± Suddenly, Gilbert nodded. ¡°All right. I¡¯ll try to persuade Mr. Mullen Sr. and see if he would bring us in there to have a look.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Kelvin walked faster to catch up to them. Gilbert nodded again. ¡°However, I¡¯m not too sure if he¡¯d do me this favor.¡± ¡°He definitely would. Even though the Mullen family and your family aren¡¯t very close, Mr. Mullen Sr. is a very sophisticated man. He¡¯ll say yes. Besides, we¡¯re just going to have a look, not to steal anything.¡± Kisa thought what Kelvin said made sense. However, she still had a feeling that Mr. Mullen Sr. would not let them get into that ¡°prohibited area ¡°this easily. After all, even the Mullens themselves did not get to go inside, let alone a bunch of outsiders like them. At night, Kisa had the same nightmare again. It was the same creepy garden and the same woman¡¯s back. Kisa started to feel like her dreams were trying to tell her something. Gilbert poured her a cup of warm water. Kisa sat up on the bed. She was sweating so much that her hair was stered to her face and forehead. She looked pale as she panted lightly. Gilbert sat beside her and wrapped his arms around her shoulder. He could not help but ask concernedly after looking at how haggard and scared she was, ¡°I should ask Kelvin to check up on you tomorrow. ¡°I¡¯ll bring you to a psychologist if he can¡¯t find out anything wrong with you.¡± Kisa held the cup of water in her hands but did not drink it. Despite sweating so much, she still felt cold. The water provided her with a little bit of warmth. She stared at the flowing curtains nkly and asked under her breath, ¡°Why is this happening? Gilbert, do you think I¡¯m sick?¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± Gilbert yelled and hugged her even tighter. ¡°You¡¯re probably just tired, so you kept dreaming. Don¡¯t overthink it. It¡¯s not good for the baby if you get stressed out about this,¡± Gilbert said as he gently stroked her t stomach with his hand.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Kisa shook her head and said sluggishly, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t be this scared if I had different nightmares every day, but that¡¯s not the case. I just keep seeing the same things.¡± ¡°Have you experienced anything like this? This isn¡¯t normal, right? Also, I¡¯ve never seen anything like that in real life before. I don¡¯t even know who that bizarre woman is,¡± Kisa said as she turned to look at the man beside her. Her face was pale in fear. Gilbert arched his brows and began feeling a little weirded out too. Besides, Kisa only started having that dream after staying in this mansion. Gilbert figured that if there really was something supernatural going on in the mansion, Kisa would not be the only one having that dream. He held her hand tightly. ¡°How about this? We¡¯ll move to Felicity¡¯s ce tomorrow and try to figure out what the real problem is.¡± Kisa nodded. She figured that she had already got Vivian sorted out, and she would be about to ask her about David after her legs got better. There was no reason for her to stay in the Mullen residence anymore. The following day, Gilbert brought her to Kelvin anyway, so he could check up on her. Kelvin was sitting in a wicker chair in the backyard. He had a strange look on his face. Chapter 1325 Chapter 1325 Chapter 1325 You Scared Me Kelvin did not realize it when Kisa and Gilbert came over. He stared absentmindedly at a particr spot, muttering to himself. No one knew what he was saying. He looked like he had not slept wellst night. The dark circles under his eyes were very obvious, making him look exhausted and listless. Kisa subconsciously looked at Gilbert, ¡°Did he rob someonest night?¡± Gilbert shook his head, ¡°Who knows?¡± As he said that, he walked toward Kelvin and patted his shoulder. Kelvin was shocked and suddenly screamed loudly, almost falling from his chair. Kisa, standing at the side, puzzledly stared at him, ¡°What are you doing? Why such a dramatic reaction?¡± This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. ¡°What are you guys doing? Why did you suddenly pat my shoulder? You scared me.¡± Gilbert coldly grunted, ¡°Did you do something badst night?¡± ¡°You tell me!¡± Kelvin pulled their hands as they sat down. He softly said to them, ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with this house. Dang, I was scared so badlyst night.¡± Kisa and Gilbert looked at each other for a moment. They were confused. Kelvin looked around as he lowered his voice, ¡°I had nightmaresst night. They were some weird dreams about ghosts. I was so frightened that I woke up in the middle of the night a few times. And after I woke up a few times, I couldn¡¯t go back to sleep anymore. I kept feeling like there were ghosts in the room. I¡¯d have gone to your roomst night, but I felt like I would be disturbing the two of you. Oh my god, I told you, this Mullen residence is scary! So f*cking scary!¡± Kisa suddenly had goosebumps as she heard what Kelvin said. She subconsciously looked at Gilbert. Gilbert frowned. He had a doubtful, solemn look. ¡°Why did you two both have nightmares? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Kelvin put his hands around his chest. He was fearful and frustrated as he said, ¡°Anyway, I feel that there¡¯s something wrong with this house. It¡¯s spooky. If it weren¡¯t because I promised Mr. and Mrs. Mullen Sr. that I¡¯d stay at their house to treat Ms. Mullen¡¯s legs, I¡¯d have f*cking left by now and just stayed in a hotel.¡± Kisa looked serious as she asked Kelvin, ¡°What did you dream of? Was it a garden and a woman¡¯s back?¡± Kelvin shook his head, ¡°I didn¡¯t dream of a garden. But there was a female ghost with ruffled hair floating in the air. Tsk, I have goosebumps just thinking about it now.¡± Kisa was increasingly confused. ¡®Why did Kelvin have a simr nightmare to mine? And howe Gilbert isn¡¯t getting these dreams at all? What¡¯s going on?¡¯ She said to Kelvin, ¡°How about you stay here for a few more days and see if you¡¯ll have nightmares like this for the next few days? For the past three nights, I¡¯ve been having the same nightmare over and over. The scenarios and the characters were the same in all the dreams. It¡¯s eerie and honestly terrifying.¡± Kelvin was stunned, ¡°You had nightmares too?¡± ¡°Yes. I brought her to see you because I wanted to ask you if what happened to her was some kind of mental illness,¡± Gilbert exined. Kelvin scratched the back of his head as he chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m not very familiar with mental illness.¡± Kisa twisted her lips, ¡°You said you were an all-rounder.¡± ¡°Yes. A general category all-rounder.¡± Kisa was speechless and amused. Gilbert sighed, ¡°If so, I can only bring her to visit a psychologist.¡± Kelvin frowned as he said, ¡°Actually, it might not be a mental illness. After all, Kisa wasn¡¯t traumatized recently. Her mental condition was normal too.¡± ¡°If it isn¡¯t a mental issue, why would she constantly and repeatedly have the same nightmare?¡± Gilbert asked in a low voice. Kelvin gave it some thought, before looking like he hade up with something. Chapter 1326 Chapter 1326 Chapter 1326 Unexpected Guest He leaned over to Gilbert as he lowered his voice, ¡°Actually, I heard that there¡¯s a drug that¡¯ll make you mentally unstable if you take it for a long time.¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert looked serious, ¡°Mentally unstable?¡± ¡°Yes. It¡¯s a psychotropic substance. I¡¯ve heard that if someone takes it, that person will start constantly having nightmares. After taking it for a long time, it would cause the person to hallucinate and be unable to distinguish dreams and reality. After that, the person would suffer a mental disorder.¡± Kisa suddenly felt a chill down her spine as she quietly listened to that. ¡°Are you saying someone fed me that kind of psychotropic drug?¡± Kisa asked, tense. Kelvin was not sure, ¡°You should think carefully. Did you eat something weird?¡± Kisa shook her head, ¡°I didn¡¯t. I had my breakfast, lunch, and dinner with everyone in the Mullen residence. Why did I constantly have nightmares, but not Gilbert? We ate the same food and drank the same water. If I wasn¡¯t in the Mullen residence, I¡¯d normally eat out. The people working at the restaurant outside don¡¯t have any beef with me. They wouldn¡¯t hurt me.¡± Kelvin was confused, ¡°That¡¯s true. What¡¯s the problem then? Did you have mental stress recently? This might be the cause of what happened.¡± ¡°No. I haven¡¯t been stressed recently. Moreover, you had nightmares too.¡± Kelvin frowned. He could not think of an answer. But this incident is very creepy.¡¯ Gilbert said, ¡°How about we keep observing for two more days? If Kelvin has simr nightmares again, we might be able to identify the cause from the simrities in what happened to the both of you.¡± Kisa nodded, ¡®Seems like that¡¯s the only way.¡¯ In the middle of the day, Kisa followed Kevin to visit Vivian. Vivian¡¯s flower tea was different every day. It tasted refreshing and sweet. It smelled freshening too. And Kisa was lying on the wicker chair basking in the sun ofte fall. It was quite cozy. Cool draughts of air began to reach her. Vivian ordered someone to give Kisa a nket. Kisa was covered in a nket and lying on the wicker chair. She was sleepy. When she almost fell asleep, an unexpected guest suddenly came into the yard. Kisa opened her eyes to take a look. After pondering for a moment, she realized that the unexpected guest was Carrie, the wife of the Mullen family¡¯s second son. It¡¯s strange. Why did she suddenlye? Looking at Ms. Mullen¡¯s face, the two of them don¡¯t exactly seem to be on friendly terms. I heard that the eldest son, the second son of the Mullen family, and Ms. Mullen are the children of Mrs. Mullen Sr, while all the other sons are Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯ s illegitimate children. ¡®But the second son of the Mullen family was too careless and did many foolish things, so Mr. Mullen Sr. hates him the most.¡¯ ¡°Vivian, did your legs get better today?¡± Carrie smiled at Vivian as soon as she came in. Vivian¡¯s face was slightly cold, ¡°Thank you for asking, Carrie. My legs are just the same.¡± ¡°Hmm, didn¡¯t the medical genius treat you? Why didn¡¯t it get better?¡± Kelvin frowned. He turned around to look at Carrie and angrily said, ¡°So what if I¡¯m a medical genius? I¡¯m a magical genius, not some powerful magical being. How can I heal Ms. Mullen¡¯s legs in such a short time? In fact, you seem pretty good. If you¡¯re so capable, why don¡¯t you try treating her?¡± Carrie did not expect the gentle-looking Kelvin to have such a bad temper. She could not help but take two steps back. She chuckled as she said, ¡°That wasn¡¯t what I meant. t¡­¡± ¡°Ah, it¡¯s so noisy. It affects the needle technique I¡¯m applying to Ms. Mullen. If I poke her at the wrong point, it might negatively affect Ms. Mullen¡¯s treatment.¡± Chapter 1327 Chapter 1327 Chapter 1327 Conflict in a Large Family Vivian took the hint instantly. She then winked at the maid beside her. The maid nodded as she asked Carrie to leave, ¡°Ms. Carrie, Ms. Mullen is having her treatment now. If you need something, you maye back againter.¡± Carrie suddenly did not look happy, but she was clearly a little afraid of Vivian. She noticed that the maid wanted toe over to ask her to leave. She hurriedly said to Vivian, ¡°That b*stard Anthony was freed after only two days even though dad punished him to kneel for a week. After all that talk, dad still felt bad for that b*stard. Apparently, he was just too hungry and fainted at the ancestral hall. What¡¯s the big deal? Did he really need to be freed because of that? Dad didn¡¯t consider all the things Anthony did that embarrassed the Mullen family so badly.¡± Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Kisa was stunned for a moment. Anthony was freed? Will he go and look for Lea then?¡¯ She was very worried when she thought of Lea. For the past few days, Lea had not answered any of Kisa¡¯s calls. She merely sent Kisa a short message telling her that everything was fine and asked her not to worry, but it was impossible for Kisa not to feel worried after seeing Lea in this state. Vivian¡¯s face was grim as she stared at Carrie, ¡°Carrie, what are you trying to say?¡± ¡°Vivian, after all, Anthony is just a b*stard. Jane is so cunning and scheming. In the future, Anthony and his mother will definitely try to take the Mullen family¡¯s assets. It¡¯ll be ridiculous if they manage to take the assets of the Mullen family. Vivian, dad dotes on you so much. Can you say some kind words about your second brother to your dad so that he will give him some of the assets and shares?¡± Vivian frowned, ¡°My dad hates him because of you. You persuaded him to take the Mullen family¡¯s assets through dishonest means, which dad considered a taboo. That was why dad was so disappointed in him. And yet, you still have the audacity to talk to me about this? Get lost!¡± ¡°Hey, I¡¯m your sister-inw. What kind of attitude is this?!¡± Vivian did not bother to respond to her and merely ordered the maid to chase Carrie out of the house. Carrie was frustrated. In the end, she could only leave, cursing on her way out. Vivian sighed faintly. She then said to Kelvin and Kisa with a smile, ¡°Sorry about that.¡± Kelvin was hard at work performing the needle technique on her and did not speak. Kisa smiled as she said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. This kind of conflict and drama is unavoidable in such arge family.¡± Vivian suddenly sighed, ¡°Actually, I know dad likes Anthony the most among all his sons.¡± Kisa stared at her, surprised She had not expected Anthony to be the favorite in the Mullen family. She only knew that Anthony was very afraid of Mr. Mullen Sr. as he was desperate to impress him. ¡°Because Anthony is the one most like himself among all his sons. Everyone thinks that he¡¯s dad¡¯s least favorite because he¡¯s an illegitimate child, and even the media says so. But I can tell that dad treats Anthony differently¡¯ As Vivian continued mumbling, she seemed to suddenlye back to her senses. She awkwardly smiled as she said, ¡°Sorry for talking about this kind of stuff all of a sudden.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m quite curious about Anthony actually, Kisa said, smiling. Vivian pondered for a moment before she spoke ¡°Actually, my moststing impression of Anthony is before my ident. He was still very young at the time. He was a stubborn kid and always got what he wanted. The ruthlessness in his eyes was just like my dad¡¯s. After he grew up, he came to visit me a few times. What I remembered most about him was when he got drunk not long ago, he came to tell me that he had a crush on a cheap woman.¡± Kisa froze for a moment. A ¡°cheap woman¡±¡­is she talking about Lea?¡¯ Chapter 1328 Chapter 1328 Chapter 1328 Humans Are Complicated Vivian stared at her as she mumbled, ¡°At that time, he said to me that he wasn¡¯t sure what to do. He was so drunk that he was crying in front of me. He said that he liked that woman very much, but he couldn¡¯t ept her because her mother came from an inferior background. Anthony and his mother were being looked down upon a lot, so he couldn¡¯t ept a woman who had such a cheap background.¡± Kisa was a little shocked. ¡®So, Anthony actually likes Lea. If this is true, that¡¯s great news. If he confesses his love to her, I believe it¡¯ll lift Lea¡¯s spirits.¡¯ But Kisa was being naive in assuming that everything would turn out so perfectly well. Little did she know the world was cruel, and that humans wereplicated too. A rtionship that is not taken seriously can only be a tragedy that one will end up regretting for the rest of their life. In the afternoon, Kisa went to Felicity¡¯s ce with Gilbert. Although they were staying in the Mullen residence, the Mullen family did not control their movements. Before they left, Mrs. Mullen Sr. even kindly said to them, ¡°We¡¯ll keep a room for the two of you. You cane and stay here anytime you want.¡± Kisa secretly thought to herself, ¡®Mrs. Mullen Sr. suddenly treats us so nicely probably because of Kelvin. ¡®It¡¯s most likely because Kelvin¡¯s confident that he can heal her daughter¡¯s legs.¡¯ ¡°Hey, Kisa, you finally came.¡± The car was parked in Felicity¡¯s small yard. As soon as Kisa got down the car, Felicity weed her with a smile. Davian was there too. After Gilbert got out of the car, he immediately went to talk to Davian about work. Kisa and Felicity chatted in the garden. ¡°I heard from Gilbert that you two want to stay here for a few days, is that true?¡± Felicity energetically stared at her. Kisa nodded, ¡°Yes. Are we troubling you?¡± ¡°Of course not. In fact, I wish you two could stay here every day.¡± Felicity was very happy that they hade. After sitting in the garden for a while, Felicity then grabbed Kisa¡¯s hand to go to her room to show Kisa the new sexy nightgown that she bought. Felicity¡¯s wardrobe was huge. She had various styles of clothes and outfits for different seasons. Some of the clothes even still had the tags on them. Felicity grabbed a sexy long-sleeved dress for Kisa. ¡°This light purple dress would look very good on you. It¡¯s suitable for this time of the year. I¡¯ll give this to you.¡± As she said that, Felicity even took the dress and matched it with Kisa¡¯s body. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Kisa faintly smiled as she stared at her. She felt warm. While Felicity was doing that, she suddenly thought of something. She said, ¡°I¡¯ll take this back. This is a slim-cut dress. I¡¯ll find you some other dresses. You¡¯re pregnant now. You should wear something loose.¡± Kisa was stunned for a moment, ¡°How did you know?¡± ¡°Davian told me,¡± Felicity said as she very quickly picked a few loose dresses. She held the dresses with one hand while touching Kisa¡¯s tummy with another hand. She said enviously, ¡°It¡¯s amazing. There¡¯s a little life inside here. You and Gilbert have such good looks. If this is a baby girl, she¡¯ll definitely be extremely gorgeous when she grows up.¡± Kisa was amused, ¡°You¡¯re so dramatic.¡± As she said that, she couldn¡¯t help but think of Ada¡¯s face. ¡®She¡¯s just a few years old, but she¡¯s already exceptionally pretty.¡¯ She could not help but touch her stomach. Her heart melted as she started to look forward to the day when this child of hers would be born. ¡°It¡¯s good that you know you¡¯re pregnant now. So, I don¡¯t need to avoid this topic when I talk to you, ¡°Felicity said as she was picking out clothes for Kisa. Kisa was surprised as she stared at her, ¡°What do you mean? Avoid what topic?¡± Chapter 1329 Chapter 1329 Chapter 1329 Nobody Can Understand What He¡¯s Thinking ¡°I was so happy when Davian told me you were pregnant. I even told him that I wanted to ask you how it felt to be pregnant. But after hearing that, Davian was worried. He told me I shouldn¡¯t look for you and that I shouldn¡¯t tell you that you were pregnant.¡± Felicity leaned against the wardrobe as she looked at her with a smile, ¡°Davian said Gilbert tried very hard to keep this from you. He asked me not to screw up Gilbert¡¯s n. He also said that Gilbert cared about this child very much. He didn¡¯t dare to tell you about this pregnancy. He¡¯d rather hide this from you and went through so much agony to do so because was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t want this child and would secretly abort your pregnancy if you found out.¡± Kisa pursed her lips. She dully said, ¡°There¡¯s no way an ordinary human can understand what Gilbert¡¯s thinking.¡± Felicityughed as she nodded, ¡°That¡¯s true. We can¡¯t understand what he¡¯s thinking. But this also means that he truly cares about this child. He cared about this child so much that he was afraid of so many things.¡± ¡®That¡¯s true. Gilbert isn¡¯t afraid of anything at all, but he was afraid that I¡¯d abort his child.¡± Thinking about Gilbert made Kisa feel both mad and amused. Gilbert and Davian were talking about work all the while. They were in the study room. They did not come out of the room at all. During dinner time, Felicity could only ask the maid to serve them dinner in the room. After Kisa finished eating her dinner, she chatted with Felicity a little before going to her room to rest. She leaned against the bedhead to read entertainment news on her phone after showering. Nothing major had happened in Calthon during this period. The only news was about the divorce between Carolyn and Christopher. Kisa stared at the two hateful people in the photo. A slightly mocking smile shed past her lips. ¡®Seems like Carolyn is determined in divorcing Christopher.¡¯ Sharon also said to the media that she would follow her mother, and that she was nning to distance herself from her father, Christopher. Kisa did not feel any pity or sympathy when she looked at Christopher who was tearing up in the picture. She felt that he deserved it. ¡®He¡¯ll be deserted by everyone for the rest of his life. He¡¯s going to be lonely. I wonder if he¡¯ll remember how good my mother was.¡¯ After using her phone for a while, Kisa felt sleepy. Gilbert was still not back yet. She did not bother to switch off the lights. She then covered her slim body with the nket. She fell asleep in no time. In the midst of sleep, she suddenly became aware of a figure standing at the bedside. She tried very hard to open her eyes wanting to see what was going on, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not open her eyes. ¡°Hahaha Suddenly, the figure at the bedsideughed at her in a ghastly tone It was that same creepy, coldughter again. Kisa tried to scream in terror, but she could not make a sound no matter how hard she tried. She felt terrified and suffocated again. Kisa wanted to get out, but she could not move a single muscle in her whole body. Suddenly, she felt as if her body was rapidly falling into a dark abyss. It almost felt like she was falling into hell. Kisa was hysterical with fear and kept trying to scream. Bam! Her body finally stopped falling, but she had ended up in a garden. It was the same creepy garden and the same strange moonlight. She could see the familiar ghostly woman floating some distance away, with her back toward Kisa. Kisa knew it was a dream, so she pinched herself hard trying to wake herself up, but it did not work at all. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. She could only run. She tried to run away from the woman, but no matter how desperately she ran, the woman would always catch up with her. She broke down as she squatted down and curled up, buying her face in her knees. And at that moment, she heard a voice. It was Gilbert¡¯s voice. It was calm but worried. ¡°Kisa¡­ Wake up. Kisa¡­¡± Amazingly, Kisa woke up as Gilbert called for her anxiously. She then noticed that Gilbert was sitting beside her. She flung herself into his arms. She trembled and cried out, ¡°Why¡¯s this happening? I had the same dream again. What should I do? What should I do?¡± Chapter 1330 Chapter 1330 Chapter 1330 He Was So Protective of Her Kisa sounded exceptionally worried and fearful. Gilbert kept on stroking her back, trying to calm her. Her back was very sweaty and her shirt was sticking onto her back. She felt extremely ufortable. Gilbert then put his hand into her shirt to separate the wet shirt and her skin. He used his warm, big hand to caress her cold and tensed back. He said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared. I¡¯m here It¡¯s okay.¡± As soon as he had entered the room earlier, he had noticed Kisa struggling on the bed. Her forehead was full of sweat as she frowned and groaned in pain. She was clearly having a nightmare. His heart sank a little. ¡®This is Felicity¡¯s ce. If she was having nightmares because of the Mullen residence, then why is she having a nightmare here? What¡¯s the real issue here?¡¯ The terror gradually lifted from her heart after she took some time to calm down, but she did not dare to go back to sleep. The nightmare had left her feeling terrified and suffocated. She was afraid that if she fell back asleep, she would just have that scary bad dream again. Gilbert told her to take a warm bath to avoid catching a cold. Kisa nodded and obediently went to take a bath.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. When she came out of the bathroom, Gilbert was leaning against the bedhead, using his phone. It seemed like he was searching for something. She then climbed into bed. She nced at his phone screen as she confusedly said, ¡°You still suspect that I ate that kind of psychotropic substance?¡± Gilbert nodded, ¡°Just like what Kelvin said, you¡¯re not showing any other symptoms. You don¡¯t look like you have a mental illness. I looked at the information regarding the psychotropic substance just now. That drug indeed causes people to constantly have nightmares not long after using it. It causes mental weakness too. In severe cases, it can cause hallucinations and insanity, but it is also said that if you don¡¯t use it for a long time or stop using it entirely, the symptoms will be relieved. ¡°So, you should be extra careful about what you eat and drink for the next few days. Don¡¯t eat any dubious food. If your symptoms are relieved, it¡¯d prove that the cause of all your symptoms is that kind of substance.¡± Kisa nodded tensely. ¡°If it¡¯s really because of the drug, it¡¯d be so scary. Who was the person who mysteriously fed me that kind of substance?¡± As Kisa said that, she suddenly remembered something. She hurriedly grabbed Gilbert¡¯s hand. ¡°The baby inside me, that kind of drug¡­ Will it have any effects on the baby?¡± Gilbert could not help but smile as he saw her worried face. ¡®Seems like she really does care about this child.¡± Gilbert stroked her cold, small face as he said, ¡°I¡¯ve checked about this issue too. It won¡¯t have a great impact on the baby.¡± ¡°What about slight impacts then? What are the milder effects?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The website said we can ignore the milder side effects. It¡¯s just that¡­ If you stay like this for a long time, it¡¯ll certainly affect your body.¡± His eyes looked cold for a moment as he said that. He looked gloomy and tense. ¡°If I find out who hurt you, I won¡¯t spare them.¡± His tone was ruthless and terrifying. Kisa stared unwaveringly at him. She had never expected that he would be so protective of her one day. In the past, he had treated her so cruelly because of another woman. She would never have imagined that one day she would be the one protected by him. She felt warm and safe. Even the fear she had just now was gone. She suddenly thought of a question. She raised her eyes to look at him, ¡°What if¡­ the person who hurt me was Sara?¡± On one hand, she indeed wanted to know his attitude toward Sara now. On the other hand, she had always felt that Sara was the one lingering in the backyard of the Mullen residence. That was why she asked that question. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1331 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1331 Chapter 1331 The Baby Is Not Yours Alone Gilbert frowned and did not answer for a long time, but Kisa was persistent. The more he refused to answer, the more she was determined to find out his answer. She fixed her eyes on him. ¡°Answer me. What? Is that a difficult question?¡± Gilbert took the towel and wiped her hair, asking, ¡°Why do you always have to bring her up?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just asking. Maybe there is really a possibility?¡± Kisa snickered while he frowned. ¡°What? Are you angry?¡± she asked. Gilbert did not make a sound, his face sullen, and he continued to rub her hair with the towel. Kisa was not too happy. She grabbed the towel from his hand, not wanting him to dry her hair. ¡°I¡¯ve told you many times that it¡¯s impossible for her to be in the Mullen residence. Why are you asking such a weird question?¡± ¡®Heh! Look how he¡¯s trying to defend that woman. Kisa was so pissed that she decided to ignore him. She had just had a nightmare and was drenched in sweat, especially her hair. So, when she took a shower, she had washed her hair. Now her hair was all wet, and when sheid on the bed, the pillow got wet as well. When Gilbert saw this, anger rose within him, and he yelled at her, ¡°Get up and blow-dry your hair before you go to sleep.¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Kisa grunted, turning her back on him. Gilbert stared at her back and gritted his teeth. ¡°Get up.¡± ¡®Does he think I should be his beck and call? I¡¯m not stupid.¡¯ Seeing that she did not move, Gilbert¡¯s hands resting on the bed were clenched into fists as anger built up. It was not after a long while that he loosened his fist helplessly. ¡®Forget it! I don¡¯t hit women, not to mention that she is pregnant.¡¯ Instead, he said, ¡°Get up and blow-dry your hair. You can do whatever you want, but what if you hurt the baby? If you sleep with your wet hair, you could get sick. Besides, your body is still weak. This could affect the health of the baby. Get up quickly. The baby is not yours alone. Get up.¡±. Kisa became even angrier upon hearing this. She knew she was not as important as the baby in his eyes, that she was always dispensable, unlike the baby, which was precious to him. As pissed as she was, she still heeded his words and got up from bed, as she too was worried that it might affect the baby¡¯s health. Atst, Gilbert smiled at seeing this. ¡°Sit up properly.¡± He had her sit with her back to him, turned on the hair dryer, and patiently blow-dried her hair. She gripped the bedsheet and brooded. ¡°Gilbert, what would you do if Sara showed up one day and wanted me dead?¡± Gilbert did not answer. Perhaps the hair dryer was too loud, and he did not hear her. She quietly pursed her lips and stopped asking. She knew Sara was the most important thing to him, so she told herself to stop asking such questions and making herself feel miserable. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Her hair had dried. Gilbert turned off the hair dryer. ¡°Go to sleep.¡± Kisay down. She did not dare to sleep, so she just stared at the ceiling. ¡°It¡¯s still early. If I fall asleep, I¡¯ll definitely have that nightmare again.¡± Perhaps after days of not sleeping well, she had dark circles under her eyes and lookednguid. Gilbert stroked her head and said, ¡°Sleep well. I will be by your side. If it looks like you¡¯re having a nightmare again, I¡¯ll wake you up immediately, so you don¡¯t have to be afraid.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1332 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1332 Chapter 1332 Smiling Like an Idiot She thought it was not a bad idea. But, realizing that he would not be able to sleep, she shook her head. ¡°Never mind. I¡¯ll just look at my phone. I¡¯m not sleepy, anyway.¡± Gilbert said nothing as he handed her phone to her, leaned back against the headboard, and looked at his phone too. The room was warm and quiet, with only a dim wallmp on. Not long after, Kisa fell asleep, the phone in her hand still ying a video. He carefully took her phone out of her hand with a forced smile. ¡®She really fell asleep quickly.¡¯ He looked at the side of Kisa¡¯s face for a long time and felt that she still looked somewhat the same as she did when she was young. Grinning to himself, he took out his phone and snapped several photos of the side of her face. And then hey down, hugging her as he took a few more shots. Perhaps his actions roused her; she let out a soft moan, before rolling over and snuggling up in his arms. Gilbert¡¯s heart softened, and he rested his chin on the top of her head to take a few more shots. After that, he tucked the woman in, and then repeatedly admired the photos he had just taken. The more he looked at them, the quicker his heart melted. He suddenly found she was pretty, that her face was fair and clean, her facial features not too prominent, but they looked exceptionally good on her face. After looking at them over and over, he finally picked a photo of the two of them together as the wallpaper of his phone. After it was done, he nodded in satisfaction and smiled like an idiot. Kisa would probablyugh her head off if she knew he was secretly doing such childish things. In the second half of the night, Kisa still could not sleep well, even with Gilbert watching over her. She had two more nightmares during this period, but luckily, Gilbert woke her up quickly. She was so sleepy and tired that she basically fell back to sleep right after waking up. Because of this, Gilbert never closed his eyes for even a second. When Kisa woke up at nine the next morning, she saw Gilbert¡¯s eyes were bloodshot and he seemed extremely tired. Feeling bad, she sat up and asked, ¡°Are you okay?¡± This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert shook his head. ¡°Did you sleep well? Do you still want to sleep?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°I have slept enough. You should get some sleep instead.¡± Gilbert nodded. He kneaded his brow andy back under the covers, closing his eyes while admonishing her, ¡°Don¡¯t wander around and be careful of what you eat. If you want to eat anything, better cook it yourself.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Kisa helped him tuck in the covers, then went to the bathroom quietly. After washing up and coming out, she heard Gilbert¡¯s shallow breathing. She went over on tiptoe to see if he was asleep, and indeed he was asleep and quiet soundly. She leaned over gingerly and carefully looked at him. She found him very good-looking, his face perfect as if he was a sculpture. Kisa could not help but think of what Felicity had said. She put her hand on her belly and thought to herself, ¡®They say that daughters look like their fathers, and if this baby is really a girl, she must be beautiful. Ada is a typical example. She looks like Gilbert, a bit familiar, but it is hard to tell who exactly she resembles more.¡± Kisa reached for her cell phone on the bedside table. As she turned around and was about to get off the bed, she identally knocked Gilbert¡¯s phone off the bedside table. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1333 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1333 Chapter 1333 His Tenderness and Protection Are Hers His phone was on the bedside table, but half of it was hanging off the edge, so it fell as soon as Kisa¡¯s hand brushed past it. The phone fell on the carpet with a sudden thud. Her heart skipped a beat, and she tensed up, afraid of waking Gilbert up. He had always been alert, but this time, there was no reaction from him. He was still sleeping soundly. It seemed to her that he really was tired. She bent down to pick up the phone. As she was doing so, her fingers instinctively touched the power button on the side of the phone and the phone screen lit up. She was not really looking at first, but a photo caught her eyes. It startled her for a second before she pressed the side button again. As the phone screen lit up again, the photo came into view. It was a picture of her and Gilbert with her nestling in Gilbert¡¯s arms, sleeping soundly, while he was resting his chin on the top of her head, smiling. It was a beautiful picture. Even if it was just a photo, she could see the smile and sparkle in his eyes. ¡®When this picture was taken, he must have been very happy. It looked like he took the picturest night while I was sleeping,¡¯ she thought to herself. Kisa could not help but look at the man on the bed and feel touched. ¡®So what if Sara upies the first spot in his heart? What matters is that I¡¯m the one by his side now. His tenderness and protection are now mine.¡¯ With these thoughts in mind, she felt much happier and was not as cynical as before. It was a pleasant moment to sit in the courtyard in the cool morning breeze under the warm sun. Felicity had gone to the shops with Davian to take care of some business and Gilbert was sleeping, so Kisa and the maids were the only ones downstairs. She had cooked herself a te of spaghetti. As she was sitting outside in the courtyard under a tree, eating happily, a teasing voice suddenly came. ¡°Yo, it looks like you have a good appetite. Aren¡¯t you afraid of gaining weight?¡± ¡®Kelvin?¡¯ Kisa looked over her shoulder and saw Kelvin walk in with his hands in his pockets and a frivolous smile on his face. She nced past him and saw no one behind him. ¡°You came alone? How did you know about this ce?¡± ¡°It is not like Gilbert hasn¡¯t brought me here before.¡± Kelvin came in and helped himself sit down across from her. He saw her te of appetizing spaghetti and asked, ¡°Do you have any more?¡± ¡°No, if you want some, go make it yourself.¡± ¡°Forget it then. This is not my home. I don¡¯t feelfortable cooking in someone else¡¯s kitchen.¡± Kisa nced at him. Afraid that he really had not eaten, she asked the maid to make him something to eat. Kelvin looked around. ¡°Where is Gilbert?¡± ¡°He is sleeping.¡± ¡°Tsk, look what time it is already, and he¡¯s still sleeping?¡± Kelvin said. A thought came to mind, and ¡± he suddenlyughed. ¡°Gilbert usually wakes up early. Could it be thatst night, you guys¡­¡± Kisa rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Get rid of the dirty thoughts in your head. I was having nightmaresst night, so I messed up his sleep.¡± Kelvin stoppedughing and asked with a serious expression, ¡°You had another nightmare?¡± ¡°Horrible, all night long,¡± Kisa said. ¡°What about you-did you have nightmaresst night?¡± Kelvin shook his head. ¡°This is strange. If the Mullen residence is the problem, then howe I didn¡¯t have nightmaresst night? And you have moved to Felicity¡¯s ce yet still have nightmares. ¡°That means it¡¯s probably the drug you mentioned before. Someone must have found a way to secretly administer it to me.¡±Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1334 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1334 Chapter 1334 Dreams Don¡¯t Come to Life Kelvin immediately shed his frivolous manner, his expression turning grave. ¡°What to do then? Any possible suspects? Since we¡¯re all staying in the Mullen residence, howe Gilbert¡¯s okay?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m just guessing. Let¡¯s observe for a few days and see how things go.¡± Kelvin nodded. ¡°So do you want to visit Miss Mullen at the Mullen residence today?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Kisa took a mouthful of spaghetti and mumbled, ¡°I¡¯ll stay at Felicity¡¯s ce for a few days. If there are no more nightmares in the next few days, then someone at the Mullen residence must have tampered with my food or the things around me. First I¡¯ll determine whether that¡¯s the case, and if it is, then I¡¯ll go to the Mullen residence to find out who that person is. In the meantime, please keep an eye on the Mullen family and Adrien these few days.¡± ¡°Ahh! Speaking of Mr. Tanner reminds me of something.¡± Kisa was startled. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to observe Mr. Tanner to see if he had undergone stic surgery?¡± Kisa sat up straight at once. ¡°So, what did you find?¡± Kelvin frowned. ¡°I don¡¯t think he has undergone stic surgery. I couldn¡¯t see any trace of stic surgery on his face.¡± Kisa was disappointed. ¡®If Adrien didn¡¯t undergo stic surgery, then my initial assumption that he was David wouldn¡¯t hold water. In that case, wouldn¡¯t the lead to David be lost again?¡¯ She propped herself up on her elbows, feeling frustrated. Gilbert slept through the afternoon. Kisa did not go upstairs for fear of waking him up, so sheid down on a wicker chair in the garden and read a book. When Gilbert woke up, he still looked tired and lethargic. Seeing him approaching, Kisa closed her book and smiled at him. But he said. nothing, just stared at her for a moment. Seeing this, Kisa shook her head in amusement. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that? Don¡¯t you recognize me?¡± But he gave no response. She got up and said, ¡°You¡¯re not fully awake. Let me make you something to eat, then you can go back to sleep a little more.¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. As Kisa walked past him and headed into the house, Gilbert suddenly turned around and hugged her from behind. This action startled her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± she asked. He buried his head in the nape of her neck and mumbled, ¡°I just had a bad dream.¡± Kisa was amused. ¡°Did I pass on the nightmares to you?¡± Gilbert was silent for a long while before he spoke again in a low and depressed voice with his head still in the nape of her neck. ¡°I dreamed you left me. No matter how hard I tried, you wouldn¡¯t turn back. You left for another man and helped others against me. You didn¡¯t even want our children.¡± Kisa was transfixed, wondering if he had been thinking too much before going to bed and got this bad dream. She tried to break free from him but failed. He seemed to still be immersed in his nightmare, with his powerful arms firmly wrapped around her. Kisa sighed helplessly and looked up at the sky. ¡°Can you stop imagining things? Even if I did leave you, I wouldn¡¯t abandon my own children, okay? You were just having a bad dream.¡± But Gilbert tightened his arms around her even more. ¡°Don¡¯t leave me,¡± he growled, his voice filled with suppressed emotions. Kisa rolled her eyes. ¡°Come on. Who said I was leaving you? Besides, it was just a dream. Dreams don¡¯te to life.¡± ¡°Dreams don¡¯te to life?¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1335 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1335 Chapter 1335 Lovey-Dovey Couple Gilbert murmured, his voice a little wispy. Kisa shook her head bemusedly. ¡®What¡¯s wrong with him today? He¡¯s so mncholy, it¡¯s not like him at all.¡¯ ¡°Well, well, well, look how lovey-dovey this couple is.¡± Gilbert hugged Kisa in silence for a long moment until Felicity¡¯s teasing giggle came. He immediately let go of Kisa, his face changing with such speed that his mncholy look switched to sullenness in an instant once Felicity and Davian walked in. He looked at the two of them and asked expressionlessly, ¡°What the hell are you two doing here?¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk¡­¡± Felicity shook her head and snickered at the gloomy-faced man. ¡°You are about to be the father of three children, yet still so bad-tempered.¡± Gilbert shot her a look and brought Kisa inside. Felicity and Davian had not eaten until now, and neither had Gilbert. Kisa had a small snack for lunch along with therge te of spaghetti she had made for breakfast. Felicity asked the maid to cook, when Gilbert slowly rolled up his sleeves and said, ¡°I¡¯ll do the cooking for the next few days.¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. He got up to go to the kitchen. Felicity was wide-eyed. She looked at Kisa. ¡°Is he in his right mind? He¡¯s going to cook for us?¡± Kisa pursed her lips and smiled, not saying anything. She knew that the reason Gilbert cooked was because of her. He would only bepletely at ease after knowing that she was eating food that he had prepared himself. At night, Kisa stayed up untilte at night since she was afraid that she would fall asleep too quickly and have that nightmare again. But pregnant women get sleepy easily. She wanted to look at her phone but fell asleep in only 10 minutes, with her phone left running. Gilbert nced at her, shaking his head helplessly and took her phone out of her hand. He had slept for a good part of the day, so he did not feel sleepy at night and could keep watch over her. Surprisingly, Kisa slept soundly tonight and did not dream at all. Another few days passed. Kisa went nowhere, only staying at Felicity¡¯s ce. She did not even leave thepound. All the food she ate during the days was made for her by Gilbert, and she never had those nightmares again. After days of observation, she became increasingly sure that the nightmares had been drug-induced hallucinations and that someone from the Mullen family was trying to harm her. Back at the Mullen residence. Kelvin also never had those nightmares again. His situation just seemed like a normal coincidence. While Kisa¡¯s situation seemed suspicious, there really seemed to be no logical exnation for Kelvin¡¯s situation. Kelvin told her that Karen had regained some sensation in her leg, which was much better than he had expected. On the eighth day of her stay at Felicity¡¯s ce, Kisa wanted to move to the Mullen residence. She still had a lot of things to figure out at the Mullen residence. The sooner she got it figured out, the sooner she could go back to Calthon. But as she and Gilbert were leaving the house, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Lea calling Lea had not answered her calls for many days, and only asionally sent her a message to tell her she was alright, so she was a little worried when Lea called. She answered the call and Lea¡¯s calm voice came through. ¡°Kisa, can youe out and meet me? I want to tell you everything I know.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1336 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1336 Chapter 1336 I¡¯ll Bring You Back Kisa¡¯s heart sank for no reason. ¡°Okay, tell me where to meet up.¡± Lea asked to meet her in an ordinary cafe on a boulevard. Gilbert drove her there and parked the car near the cafe. ¡°I don¡¯t know how long I¡¯m going to talk to Lea. If you get bored, you can go on back without me,¡± Kisa said, as she had nned toe by herself at first. But Gilbert was worried about her. He felt that since Lea was Anthony¡¯s woman, she posed a risk against Kisa. He had wanted to meet Lea with her, but Lea had said on the phone earlier that she wanted to see Kisa alone. At first, he had been reluctant to allow Kisa toe, but relented after Kisa persuaded him to agree. With the window down, Gilbert looked toward the cafe on the side of the boulevard and could see where Lea was. He leaned back in his seat, took out a cigarette, and said to Kisa, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll wait here.¡± Kisa looked at him and said nothing, then got out of the car. As she walked around the front of the car, Gilbert suddenly said to her, ¡°Call me if anything happens. If anything happens to my child, I¡¯ll hold you responsible.¡± Kisa looked at him with displeasure and ignored him. ¡®He only cares about his child! It¡¯s fine, the baby is mine after all.¡¯ She felt much better with this thought in mind. After Kisa had gone, Gilbert lit a cigarette. Until now, he had never taken his eyes off her. ¡®It¡¯s been more than a month since she got pregnant. She¡¯s eating so much every day, yet she hasn¡¯t gained any weight. I¡¯ve got to let her eat more nutritious food.¡¯ There were only a few people in the cafe. Upon entering, Kisa looked around and immediately spotted Lea sitting on the inner side of the cafe by the wall in a quiet corner where the lights were dim. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she saw Lea¡¯s pale face, which was worse than it had been in the hospital that day. Lea was staring nkly at a certain spot, her cheerless face revealing a sense of hopelessness. Kisa hurried over and sat across from her. ¡°Lea¡­¡± she called out. Only then did Lea move her eyes to look at her expressionlessly and let out a feeble smile. ¡°Oh, there you are.¡± ¡°Lea, have you not been resting well these days?¡± Kisa looked at her worriedly. ¡°No, I¡¯m fine.¡± Lea shook her head. Kisa saw that Lea seemed like a different person now. She reached out to hold Lea¡¯s hand on the table. Lea¡¯s hand was cold, and Kisa held it tighter, then whispered, ¡°Do you want to go back to Calthon? I¡¯ll bring you back.¡± Kisa was not sure if she was thinking too much; seeing Lea¡¯s condition made her ufortable. Lea¡¯s eyes started to turn stony again, even a little hollow. ¡°Calthon? I¡¯m not going back. I¡¯m fine here,¡± she murmured. ¡°You¡¯re fine here?¡± Kisa thought Anthony had expressed his feelings to her. ¡°If you like it here, that¡¯s fine. In fact, Anthony still cares about you. He treats you-¡± ¡°Kisa!¡± Lea suddenly interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. She was startled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lea smiled at her, but there was no warmth in her smile. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to know what I¡¯ve done to betray you?¡± Upon hearing that, Kisa looked at her quietly, feeling anxious. Chapter 1337 Chapter 1337 Chapter 1337 Like Saying Her Last Words ¡°Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter anymore. You don¡¯t have to tell me. Or maybe you can tell meter.¡± It was not that she did not want to know what Lea had done behind her back, rather it felt like Lea was saying herst words. The idea of that terrified Kisa, so she would have preferred Lea to tell herter ¡°It is important. Those things are still important.¡± Lea smiled faintly and lowered her head to take a sip of coffee. Kisa pursed her lips and looked away ¡°It¡¯s better not to talk about it.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be left with regrets if I don¡¯t tell you now,¡± Lea said ¡°The first thing I did to harm you started from the birthday celebration of Mr Case Sr. I called you and told you there were short of temporary maids and asked you to go with me. And then Anthony and Sharon set you up by luring Howard and you in the garret of the Case residence. Do you remember that incident?¡± Kisa stared at her. ¡°I can¡¯t believe you were involved in their ns at the time¡± Lea chuckled. ¡°Yes, he used me that time too, but the nature of things has not changed; it was me who put you in harm¡¯s way N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. ¡°And then the second time-¡± Before Kisa could speak, Lea quickly continued. ¡°The second time was at Kerrona Hill.¡± Kisa had nothing to say about the Kerrona Hill incident. It was at that time that she discovered Lea¡¯s abnormality ¡°On Kerrona Hill, I purposely invited you to see the snow, and had you pushed down the slope.¡± ¡°Was it Anthony who wanted me dead that time?¡± Lea shook her head. ¡°No one wanted you dead. A certain someone wanted to test how much Gilbert cared about you.¡± Kisa froze ¡°Who is that someone?¡± ¡°Mr Tanner Kisa was wide-eyed. ¡°Mr Tanner?¡± Lea nodded. ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on between Mr. Tanner and you guys, but the Kerrona Hill incident was really a conspiracy involving him and Anthony. In fact, most of the time Anthony was following Mr Tanner¡¯s orders.¡± Kisa clenched her hands, shocked. ¡°Is Adrien trying to get at me and Gilbert?¡± Kisa asked. Lea shook her head. ¡°I just know that Mr Tanner wanted you and Gilbert to hurt and kill each other Kisa was still shocked ¡®Why did Adrien do this to me and Gilbert? What did he have against us? And Jensen, it was Jensen who introduced Mr Tanner to me if Mr Tanner approached me with an ulterior motive, did Jensen know about it? ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve done a lot of wrong things to you.¡± Lea smiled sadly, her hollow eyes welling up. When I think about it all now, I can¡¯t even forgive myself.¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t me you. After all, you saved me before.¡± ¡°Remember that time you came to an event in Athadale? It was before Mr. Jensen¡¯s ident.¡± Kisa said nothing, just stared at Lea in stupefaction. ¡°Actually, I wanted to tell you many times that Mr. Jensen¡¯s ident had little to do with Gilbert.¡± Kisa frowned. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°It all goes back to the event you attended here in Athadale. Do you remember being at the event and having coffee spilled on you by a woman?¡± ¡°Is there some kind of conspiracy about that incident?¡± Kisa asked in a strained voice. She had never thought there was anything sinister about that idental coffee spill. Now that Lea mentioned it, she felt a chill slowly running up her back. Chapter 1338 Chapter 1338 Chapter 1338 What a Perfect n She never expected them to hide their evil n so well. ¡°At that time, when you went to the washroom to clean off the coffee spilled on your dress, you gave me your handbag, remember?¡± ¡°A-And then?¡± ¡°Then, I secretly took out your cell phone and took screenshots of you and Gilbert¡¯s intimate photos, as well as your intimate chats with Gilbert If I remember correctly, you and Gilbert had reconciled at that time, but because of Mrs. Kooper Sr., you kept it a secret. Because of the evidence I photographed, Mrs. Kooper Sr. found out you two were together again. I heard Anthony say that Mrs. Kooper Sr. was so angry that she attempted suicide.¡± ¡°What?¡± Kisa was too shocked to speak. ¡°The day Mrs. Kooper Sr tried to kill herself seemed to be your birthday, too.¡± Lea murmured. Kisa was obviously smiling, but her eyes were filled with tears-tears of remorse. Her body tensed up, as if she had figured out something, but her thoughts were chaotic She picked up her coffee and was about to drink it when she suddenly remembered that she was pregnant. She put the coffee down with a shaky hand, and all that came to her mind was the scene of her birthday. It was pouring that day, and Gilbert had promised her a most memorable birthday and a surprise But what she ended up waiting for was bone-chilling heartache and despair That day, Jensen and Adrien brought the warden to see her, telling her that Gilbert was responsible for the prison fire She hurried to find Gilbert, wanting to rify the matter with him. Faced with her questioning. Gilbert admitted he was responsible for the fire and said cruel things to her But at that time, she did not know that Madalyn had tried to kill herself. So, she wondered now if Gilbert said those cruel things to her because he was afraid that Madalyn would try tomit suicide again. She covered her head in distress as she had roughly figured out what was going on at that time Now, she knew that Adrien and the others first used Lea to get evidence of her reconciliation with Gilbert, and then deliberately revealed it to Madalyn to provoke her anger and hatred. Then they brought the warden to see her, telling her that Gilbert was responsible for the prison fire They had guessed that she would go to Gilbert to ask for rification. So that was how things ended up with Gilbert saying those hurtful words her to appease his grandmother N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. ¡°Heh. What a perfect n. So, what the warden said was also false. But what about Jensen? It was Jensen who found the warden, wasn¡¯t it? Could it be that Jensen also tried to harm me at the time? But if Jensen was in cahoots with them, how could Jensen¡¯s ident be exined? She looked up at Lea with reddened eyes. ¡°Is there something behind Jensen¡¯s ident?¡± Lea¡¯s tears flowed even more at the mention of that But a pale smile still lingered on her face. ¡°I was responsible for Jensen¡¯s ident.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°How?¡± ¡°After you fell out with Gilbert, Adrien asked Jensen to hide the warden but deliberately let me hear about it I must say. Mr Tanner is really good at manipting others. he could guess that I would tell Gilbert about the warden.¡± ¡°Gilbert was looking for that warden at the time because he wanted to prove his innocence, wasn¡¯t he?¡± Chapter 1339 Chapter 1339 Chapter 1339 This Lifetime Is Enough Kisa stared at Lea in confusion, and Lea nodded her head. ¡°So, out of guilt for me at the time, you wanted Gilbert to find the warden so that he and I could make up, right?¡± Lea nodded again but looked a little sad. ¡°After I told Gilbert about the warden, he went straight. after Jensen, and then the ident fell upon Jensen. So, in fact, I was the one who was responsible for Jensen¡¯s ident, not Gilbert.¡± She was too naive in the past, doing everything for her so-called love. In the end, after doing all those ridiculous things in the name of love, not only did she fail to get even a half-hearted response but also ended up hurting herself with a ton of guilt. Now that she had confessed it all to Kisa, she felt much better. She felt that even if she were to die now, she would feel more at ease. Kisa¡¯s hands were trembling. If it was Adrien who engineered Jensen¡¯s ident, then it was likely that someone had tampered the car that Jensen was driving. But why would Adrien do this to Jensen? First, to silence the warden, second, to make Jensen the reason for me to break up with Gilbert? Adrien is such a terrible person. If Adrien did harm Jensen, then no way Adrien is David After all, no father would kill his own son for his selfish ns.¡± ¡°So, Kisa, Gilbert really loves you. I¡¯m not telling you this to ask for your forgiveness, but I don¡¯t want you to miss out on someone who truly loves you.¡± Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Kisa looked at Lea. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I know everything now, and I won¡¯t let him slip from my life again.¡± Lea smiled, her face still pale. ¡°Good then. I have no more regrets and feel less guilty now,¡± Lea said, and suddenly stood up, as if to leave. ¡°Where do you live?¡± Kisa quickly asked. Lea did not answer her question. She shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine. You really don¡¯t have to worry about me,¡± she said, heading outside the cafe. Kisa watched with a lump in her throat, finding that Lea had lost a lot of weight and looked skinny now She pursed her lips and called out to Lea. ¡°Actually, I never med you for anything. I just want you to be happy and for us to be happy. No matter what, you¡¯re still the best friend I¡¯ve ever had in my life.¡± Lea halted in her tracks and stood there for a second. She then turned to look at Kisa with a sad smile. ¡°Kisa, I¡¯m happy to be your friend. I hope we can be friends in our next life.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that. She shook her head. ¡°This lifetime is enough. This lifetime is long enough.¡± Lea smiled again, but her smile was pale. ¡°Yes, this lifetime is enough.¡± As if she remembered something, she continued. ¡°Kisa, one more thing; do you remember the paternity test you did before with Andrew and Ada? Anthony swapped the report.¡± Kisa was stunned. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°I told him about the paternity test you took with the two children So, Kisa, I don¡¯t deserve to be your friend.¡± Lea already had tears in her eyes as she finished. She smiled and walked away quickly. Chapter 1340 Chapter 1340 Chapter 1340 It All Bes Clear Kisa sat on the chair, confounded. ¡®So, Gilbert didn¡¯t lie to me; Andrew and Ada really are my children. But whose baby did I see back then which was all purple and breathless? No. That baby was also mine. I could clearly feel the baby being taken out of my belly at that time. So, was I carrying triplets? Who was it that saved me from the fire-Adrien or Jensen? If Jensen was really working for Adrien all along, then perhaps I¡¯d fallen into a trap from the moment I was rescued from the fire. They might have been setting me up from that moment on.¡± The more she thought about it, the more chilled and shocked she felt. All her past spections, assumptions, and everything that she had thought of as the truth until now had all been. overturned. ¡®The people I trusted and relied on were scheming against and harming me, and the man I hated and resented so much never hurt me. Gilbert is the only person who has never schemed against me.¡¯ She covered her face with her hands as tears seeped out between her fingers. I hated and resented Gilbert for so many years, but it turned out to be a joke. Why did Jensen help Adrien set me up when he had obviously treated me so well? Kisa had mixed feelings when she thought of Jensen, who was now lying unconscious in aa. ¡®Who was responsible for the prison fire- Adrien, Sharon, or both? Why am I such an important target that they all want to conspire against me? In the car, Gilbert had smoked three cigarettes. He had restrained himself because he did not want to leave too strong a smell of cigarette smoke in the car. But after waiting for a long time, Kisa still had not come out of the cafe. He checked the time; it had been half an hour since Lea left. ¡®What exactly did Lea say to her? Why is she still sitting there? What is she thinking? He could not see Kisa¡¯s face from his angle. But he could feel his heavy heart. Gilbert pursed his lips and stepped out of the car, but he did not enter the cafe. He just leaned against the car door and gazed at her from afar, wanting to see how long she was going to sit inside. After a long while, Kisa got up from the chair, her eyes red and her face pale. Perhaps she had been sitting for too long; she felt her legs go numb. She held onto the table and walked toward the exit. She was beside herself. After going a few steps, as if remembering something, she turned back to pick up her handbag from the chair. Her eyes were vacant, and her steps were wobbly. Gilbert frowned and came up to her just as she walked out. Upon seeing her pale face, he asked,¡± What¡¯s wrong? Did Lea say something bad to you?* Kisa slowly looked up into his eyes and saw the affection in his eyes. Previously, every time Gilbert looked at her with those affectionate eyes, she would snicker in her mind, thinking that he was acting, faking that expression despite not loving her. But it turned out his gentle expressions had been genuine all along. He loved her, he really loved her Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°Gilbert.¡± She called out to him softly as she copsed into his embrace, her strength leaving her body Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1341 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1341 Chapter 1341 All Her Wishes Have Come True Gilbert was nervous He subconsciously held Kisa in his arms and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling alright The man hurriedly picked her up and carefully put her in the car His eyes showed deep concern. I¡¯ll take you to the hospital right now, okay?¡± After saying that, Gilbert backed away, preparing to go around the car and into the driver¡¯s seat. Suddenly, Kisa grabbed the hem of his clothes. She looked up and stared at Gilbert bewilderedly as she let out a self -deprecating and sadugh, ¡°I guess I¡¯ve been wrong all these years.¡± Gilbert frowned fiercely ¡°What do you mean?¡± Kisa did not say anything further Instead, she just lowered her head and started crying andughing. simultaneously Gilbert was worried for a moment. ¡°Did Lea say something? Did she try to harm you again?¡± he asked Kisa shook her head ¡°She didn¡¯t harm me this time Actually she helped me She let me in on a lot of things, and she even told me. ¡°She told me that you loved me very much,¡± she said as she looked up at him. Gilbert was taken aback. His facial expression looked unnatural. After a long while, he snorted awkwardly. ¡°I can¡¯t believe you needed someone else to tell you whether I love you or not.¡± ¡°Yeah, well, it¡¯s hard to tell who¡¯s the good guy and who¡¯s the bad guy. I can¡¯t even tell whether someone is actually trying to be nice or is actually nning to stab me behind my back.¡± Gilbert looked at the woman in front of him fixedly and frowned. ¡°What¡¯s going on with you?¡± ¡°Nothing,¡± she replied. She then pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Gilbert with a dark and burning gaze. Gilbert was terrified. ¡®Something¡¯s up with this woman,¡¯ he thought. He frowned a little more and asked in a serious tone, ¡°Are you feeling any difort? Tell me.¡± Kisaughed lightly once more, ¡°Are you worried about me or the child I¡¯m bearing?¡± ¡°What kind of nonsense question is that? Of course I¡¯m worried about- The man stopped in the middle. of his sentence. After staying silent for a long while, he said in a muffled voice, ¡°Of course I¡¯m worried about our child.¡± Somehow, Kisa was happy with that answer Gilbert had always spoken with a forked tongue. It was one of the fundamental reasons why Kisa had thought he did not truly love her. His personality and the way he spoke were the two things that were rather unlikable about him. Gilbert began to worry when he saw how strangely Kisa was acting. He suppressed the look between his brows and said to her seriously, ¡°It¡¯s best if I take you to the hospital for a checkup.¡± ¡°No Kisa shook her head She clutched the hem of his clothes tightly and said. There¡¯s nothing wrong. with me! I was just in shock Thats all in chock? ¡°Yeah I was just taking a while toe to terms with something I realized earlier The fact that Gilbert to ed her was now registered in Kisas head She did not believe it before this but she was it through and through These hopes and wishes once felt wild and impossible, but now. here we are Gilbertin ne Andrew and Ada are my hildren It all feels great feel great Gilbert looked at the woman in front of him inexplicably. He was scared; she was weeping as she laughed. ¡®Has she been possessed???¡± he thought. The woman did not let go of the hem of his clothes, and he did. not move. He just leaned against the car door and let her grab onto him. At the Century Grand Hall, Lea was pushed hard against the door as soon as she entered the room.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.

But at that moment, Lea was not afraid. Maybe it was because she had made up her mind, but she was no longer afraid of anything. She met the man¡¯s dark gaze andughed lightly, ¡°Nowhere I just told Kisa about all the bad things I did.¡± Anthony narrowed his eyes coldly. ¡°What does that mean?¡± This text is ?

Are you mad?¡± Anthony stared at Lea deeply He suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was different Before this, Lea has always been humble and ttering toward him. But now, all he saw was provocation and despair in her eyes. His heart tightened inexplicably when he noticed it. With a single force, he pulled the woman over to the bed, and her slender figure almost fell. ¡°Well, aren¡¯t you getting gutsy?¡± he said in a dark manner. Lea stared at him closely and chuckled faintly, ¡°I just realized that you¡¯re not so scary after all.¡± Anthony¡¯s narrowed eyes looked dangerous. ¡°What are you trying to say? Are you going to leave me? Is there actually someone out there who wants you?¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m leaving. I¡¯m going to run far away and nevere back.¡± ¡°I dare you!¡± Anthony growled fiercely, his hands almost crushing her thin shoulder However, Lea did not seem to feel any pain. She looked at the man in front of her with a pale face Anthony had been in her life. and her mind for many years. But now, Lea felt tired and hopeless. She could no longer bear loving Anthony as he did not love her back. It was too painful. So, she chose to escape, she chose to leave. ¡°I loved you very much,¡± she murmured. Lea had never dared to say the word ¡°love¡± in front of Anthony before because she knew she was not worthy of it. But now that she was going to leave him, Lea decided to tell him how she felt so that she would not regret it in the future. ¡°You loved me? Who do you think you are to say that to me? You¡¯re just a lowly woman. Your love makes me feel disgusted and humiliated at the same time.¡± s, Anthony despised her and her love for him. But it did not matter to Lea anymore. Her heart did not even ache in that moment. ¡°If that¡¯s how you feel, then I¡¯m d to say that I don¡¯t love you anymore,¡± Lea said with a faint smile. I hope I never see this man again.

He bent over slightly and leaned close ear Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1343 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1343 Chapter 1343 Farewell ¡°Haven¡¯t you always wanted to bear my child? Here, I¡¯ll give you another one.¡± An unspeakable sadness appeared in Lea¡¯s heart when she thought about that child. Tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes. ¡°That¡¯s no longer possible.¡± ¡°How could it be impossible? I¡¯ll do it right now!¡± Anthony began to move his hips again after saying that. Lea stared silently at the face that was only a few inches away from her From his eyebrows to his chin, Lea looked at Anthony carefully, as if she wanted to remember what he looked like. The man was sound asleep next to herte that night. Lea opened her eyes and stared at the dim ceiling for a long time before quietly getting up. She stood by the bed, looking at the blurry figure with no expression on her face. It was unclear whether the man was having a dream, but he suddenly said, ¡°Why are you so pathetic?!¡± Lea raised the corners of her lips mockingly. Turns out that I¡¯m still pathetic even in his dreams. It¡¯s fine From now on, I won¡¯t be a humiliation to him anymore, she thought, as she turned around and walked slowly toward the bathroom. At that time, Anthony was having a dream about his childhood. He thought the Mullen residence was beautiful when his mother took him there. It was like a castle in a fairy-tale. His mother told him they would be living there in the future, and he was happy. But not long after, everything changed and the ce. was no longer the magical castle he had imagined it to be. The vi became ugly and suffocating. Everyone bullied Anthony and his mother and kept asking them to kneel. When he did not do so, his mother would pull him down to kneel in front of them. Anthony cried and begged his mother to take him away from that horrible ce, but she refused. She told him that there was an endless amount of money there, an amount that ordinary people could never imagine. However, Anthony did not want those riches. He would rather have eaten stale bread and yed with the kids at the park like he did before. Even if he went hungry, he would be happy. Anthony was depressed in the Mullen family, even if he got to eat different types of delicacies. His mother often knelt to people and bowed when she spoke. He hated how she did those things and began to think, ¡®Why are you so pathetic?¡± Over time, Anthony gradually became more and more like his mother. He hated himself and his mother for it, but he hated those who were like them even more. Kisa had another nightmare that night Gilbert turned on themp that was by the bed. They were still at Felicity¡¯s ce because it waste when they finished talking to Lea. Kisa was still asleep, her forehead covered in sweat as she kept muttering the word ¡°no¡± over and over Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes She seemed to be having a scary and miserable dream Gilbert quickly shook her arm gently and said, ¡°Wake up, Kisa. Wake up. Suddenly, Kisa woke up from the nightmare. She could not stop panting, and her heart was still full of panic. Gilbert looked at her wornedly and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?

It was clear that her phone was switched off Kisa began to worry. ¡°What should we do? What if something bad happens to Lea? Kisa asked, her voice sounding like she was about to cry ¡°Don¡¯t worry it¡¯ste, she¡¯s probably asleep,¡± Gilbert said in a deep voice, but Kisa could not calm down. The dream was too real. She then dialed Anthony¡¯s number ¡°He must¡¯ve met up with Lea since he got out from the Mullen ancestral hall, she thought. Kisa called Anthony, but he did not answer He only picked up the second time she called ¡°What the hell do you want in the middle of the night?¡± he said with displeasure and hostility from being woken up. ¡°Where¡¯s Lea? Tell me Where is she?¡± ¡°Lea?¡± Anthony began to regain some sense and subconsciously looked beside him. The bed was empty He reached out to touch the mattress, and it was cold. Anthony frowned fiercely Where would that woman be at this time of night?¡± he thought He looked around the room, but he saw no one However, the bathroom door was ajar Perhaps it was because the bathroom window was open and the wind was blowing, the door was shaking slightly, and there was a faint smell of blood For some reason, Anthony¡¯s heart sank. An unprecedented fear started to appear in his heart ¡°Anthony. where¡¯s Lea? Is she alright? Kisa asked anxiously over the phone, but Anthony could not care less to answer He tossed his phone onto the bed, got up, and walked toward the bathroom one step at a time. His footsteps were slow and heavy. The smell of blood seemed to get stronger with every step he took His heart tightened as he felt a tingling pain in his chest. Suddenly. he rushed into the bathroom like a madman, and all he saw was red. He almost fainted at the sight of it. He staggered and fell to the ground, trembling all over. He covered his mouth with his hands as he let out a horse and mournful cry. In the bathtub was Lea, whoy quietly. One of her arms was hanging out of the rub; her wrist was cut open, and blood was flowing out of her arm like a river. Anthony was going crazy when he saw that. He crawled over and howled, ¡°No No. He wrapped a towel around his wrists while trembling, but it was useless. She had lost too much blood; her body was already cold Anthony broke down and held onto the woman in the bathtub. He grabbed her by the cor and shouted, ¡± No no no. You can¡¯t die, Lea.

Amy was heartbroken when he heard the news. It was thest straw. Anthony copsed on the spot, unconscious. In the end, people from the Mullen family came and took home Kisa was put in charge of Lea¡¯s funeral. Lea had once said that Athadale was a good ce, so Kisa chose a ce for her there On the day of the burial, Anthony did note. It began to drizzle, and Kisa was cold as she stood quietly in front of Lea¡¯s tombstone in the autumn rain Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1345 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1345 Chapter 1345 No More Pregnancies Gilbert wanted tofort Kisa, but he did not know what to say. Her hands were cold even after he held them tightly. Kisa¡¯s face was pale. She looked at the picture of Lea on the tombstone in silence. Her face looked so calm that it was scary. Gilbert was afraid that she would copse at any moment, so he held onto her tightly the whole time they were there. It was not until evening that the two left the cemetery. Kisa could hardly walk. Gilbert helped her get into the car, and she stared out the window nkly. Her face looked as white as a ghost. Gilbert tightened his grip around her hand and said in a low voice, ¡°Try to get some rest if you¡¯re tired. Don¡¯t overthink it.¡± Kisa listened and obediently closed her eyes. Gilbert took off his coat and put it over her before he started the car. The two stayed at Felicity¡¯s for a few days as Kisa was not in a good mood. Ever since Lea¡¯s funeral was over, Kisa hardly ever went out of the house. She shut herself in her room all day and became extremely depressed. Gilbert was worried, but he did not know how tofort her. He was afraid of disturbing her, so he could only cook nutritious meals to help nourish her body. During the first month of Kisa¡¯s pregnancy, she had no morning sickness; everything tasted delicious. But after one and a half months of being pregnant, the morning sickness came, and she could not hold her food down each time she ate. ¡°Bleurgh¡­¡± Kisa threw up the soup she just ate. The woman leaned ufortably over the toilet, her face was pale, and her whole figure was as thin as a stick.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Gilbert carefully wiped off the stains on the corner of her lips as he frowned and said, ¡°That¡¯s it. No more pregnancies.¡± Gilbert had not expected pregnancies to be so hard. Kisa looked up at him slowly. The man stared at her belly with resentment, as if he was angry at the baby for being difficult and torturing their mother. ¡°Didn¡¯t you know that this was what I went through during my first pregnancy?¡± said Kisa, smiling softly. When Kisa had been pregnant the first time, her morning sickness was worse than what it was currently. At one point, she threw up everything she ate, but Gilbert did not even know about it because he was never home. Gilbert pursed his lips tightly and said, ¡°Well, there¡¯ll be no more pregnancies in the future.¡± Kisa looked at him quietly for a long time. ¡°Okay,¡± she said weakly. ¡°Having Ada, Andrew, and the child in my womb is enough.¡± However, Kisa couldn¡¯t help but feel a little sad when she thought of her baby, who had died in the fire. It had been raining in Athadale for several days and the town was slowly entering wintertime. The weather finally cleared up that day. The sun was shining, and it warmed up the hearts of many. Kisa sat in a chair, watching Felicity busily working around the house. She had prepared lots of delicious snacks in the yard, though they mostly consisted of unhealthy and heavy food. There was a bowl of spicy ramen, some fries, a few bags of chips, and even a grilled cheese sandwich. Felicity put all the food in front of Kisa and said, ¡°Look at you. You¡¯ve lost a lot of weight recently. Here, I asked my servants to get these for you. Eat up.¡± Although Gilbert felt that those food were unhealthy, he decided not to say anything as long as Kisa could hold them down. He had been very anxious the past few days, researching what pregnant women should eat. However, Kisa always threw up after taking a few bites of the meals he made. Even her favorite sandwiches made her sick when she smelled them. Gilbert felt frustrated and helpless. He pushed the bowl of ramen in front of Kisa and said, ¡°Eat up. You¡¯re getting way too skinny.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1346 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1346 Chapter 1346 You Had the Courage to Die Tears fell uncontrobly from Kisa¡¯s eyes as she looked at the bowl of spicy ramen in front of her. She remembered that Lea also suffered from morning sickness not long ago and could not eat anything except ramen. ¡®It hasn¡¯t been that long, but she and her child are now¡­ Kisa could not help but feel overwhelmed once more when she thought about it. Gilbert¡¯s heart tightened when he saw her suddenly crying. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is your tummy okay? I¡¯ll try to find more food if you can¡¯t eat this.¡± The man was about to take the bowl of ramen away when Kisa grabbed his hands to stop him. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just some pregnancy mood swings,¡± she said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve heard people say that pregnant people are very emotionally fragile. It¡¯s okay. You¡¯ll be fine after you have the baby,¡± Felicity said with partial understanding, to which Kisa nodded with a smile. Kisa was overwhelmed with emotions when she saw the array of food and how concerned Gilbert and Felicity were. When she was pregnant for the first time, she felt sad and helpless; now, she was happy and cared for. The ramen was good; not only did Kisa not feel nauseous after eating it, but her appetite also increased. She then ate the fries and the chips. Felicity looked at her and joked, ¡°I heard that pregnant women carrying boys tend to crave spicy food more than those carrying girls. I guess you¡¯re not having a girl.¡± As she said that, she looked over to Gilbert and asked, ¡°Do you want a boy or a girl?¡± ¡°A girl,¡± Gilbert replied without even thinking about it. Felicity wanted tough when she heard that. He would probably change his answer if I told him there¡¯s a high chance that Kisa is having a boy, haha.¡¯ Kisa stayed at Felicity¡¯s ce for another three days. Herplexion had gradually improved. However, on the fourth day, she wanted to return to the Mullen residence to clear up some things. She did not like Athadale much, so she wanted to get answers as soon as possible and return to Calthon. Before going to the Mullen residence, Kisa visited the cemetery to see Lea. It was a sunny day; the sun was shining, and the cemetery was no longer as cold and gloomy as the rainy day before. Kisa asked Gilbert to wait for her at the foot of the hill at the entrance of the cemetery because she wanted to have a few private words with Lea. There were very few people in the cemetery. Kisa walked for about 20 minutes till she arrived at Lea¡¯s grave. In the memorial photo on her headstone, Lea was smiling. ¡®She was still so young. There was still a long way to go for her. Why did she decide to kill herself?¡¯ Kisa squatted in front of the tombstone and put down the flowers she had brought. She looked at Lea¡¯s picture and smiled sadly. ¡°What was going on in your head, silly girl? Did you think that you would finally be free? Only the ones who care about you are hurting.¡± Kisa stretched out her hand and touched the photo on the tombstone. She felt so engulfed with grief that she could not breathe. ¡°What were you thinking? You could have told me. I said I didn¡¯t me you and we would always be friends. Why did you still do it? If you had the courage to die, why didn¡¯t you have the courage to continue living on?¡± Kisa whispered to the tombstone, her mournful tone drifting in the cool air. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Then, the faint sound of slow and heavy footsteps began to appear. A shadow cast over the tombstone, falling on Lea¡¯s photo as if casting darkness over her smile. Kisa was stunned for a while. She then looked back and saw who it was. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1347 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1347 Chapter 1347 It Was All Too Late It was Anthony. He was dressed in ck, and his face was cold and solemn. His thin lips were tightly pressed together, revealing a touch of daunting coldness. Kisa was unsure if it was her imagination, but she felt that Anthony had lost some weight. Anthony knelt and ced a bouquet of flowers in front of her grave. He stood up and stared at Lea¡¯s photo in silence, without saying a word. Kisa did not understand what he was trying to do. In her eyes, Lea took her own life because of that man. She did not know why he was there after so many days. ¡°I remember telling you not to be so cruel to her, otherwise, you¡¯d drive her to her death, but you didn¡¯t believe me,¡± Kisa stood up and uttered coldly. Antony¡¯s gaze slowly turned to her. There were no emotions on the man¡¯s face; only a sense of mncholy lingered over him. Suddenly, he violently grabbed Kisa by the neck. Startled, Kisa backed away quickly and fell in front of Lea¡¯s grave. Anthony held her neck up against Lea¡¯s tombstone and said, ¡°You knew something was wrong. Why didn¡¯t you tell me? Why didn¡¯t you stop her from doing it? Huh?! You could have told me or done something about it. You could have saved her! But you didn¡¯t! You didn¡¯t do anything about it!¡± Anthony¡¯s eyes showed deep hatred and grief. Kisa wanted tough at him for the usations, but she could not. Instead, tears kept gushing from her eyes. ¡°You broke her heart. You¡¯re the one she loves, yet you broke her heart,¡± said Kisa. ¡°From the time you saved her, she had always kept you close in her heart. We were such good friends, yet she still betrayed me for you. You were the most important thing to her. Look at how you treated her. It wasn¡¯t the loss of that child that crushed her. No. It was your attitude toward her.¡± ¡°My attitude toward her?¡± Anthony¡¯s hands trembled slightly. ¡°She was standing on the edge of a cliff because you didn¡¯t love her back. I couldn¡¯t do anything about it; only you could. But what did you do? Did you even care for her? All you did was insult her. I told you to let her go if you didn¡¯t want to be with her, Anthony. But what did you do? She¡¯s dead. Are you happy now? Mark my words; you¡¯re going to live with this pain and guilt for the rest of your life!¡± ¡°Stop it!¡± Anthony roared angrily. He covered his head with his hands and broke down in grief. ¡°I-I didn¡¯t know it woulde to this. She could have told me what she wanted. I would¡¯ve listened. Why did she have to do this to punish me? | could have given her another child if she wanted one. Why did she have to take her own life? What am I supposed to do now? What am I supposed to do for the rest of my life?¡± The man squatted before the grave, clutching his head as he cried hysterically. It was the first time Kisa had seen him like that. She had always thought that he was a cold-blooded person and that he did not have any feelings. But now, it seemed like he had really cared about Lea. Unfortunately, it was all too late Kisa did not say a word. She just nced at the man lightly and began walking down the hill. She then saw Gilbert walking toward her from a distance. It seemed that he had grown impatient with waiting outside. The man had long legs, so he was able to walk up to her after a short while. ¡°Are you okay? What was taking so long?¡± N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Gilbert held her hand tightly, but he frowned when he saw the red mark on her neck.

Who did this to you?¡± Gilbert asked as he hurriedly checked the red mark on Kisa¡¯s neck to see if the damage was severe. Kisa grabbed his hand and smiled, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°How can I be worried?¡± There was a serious expression on Gilbert¡¯s face. He looked at the tombstones in the cemetery and suddenly said ruefully, ¡°Everyone has only one life. Thank god¡­¡± ¡°Yeah?¡± Kisa looked at him and asked. ¡°Thank god that you¡¯re still alive and well by my side. Otherwise¡­ I wouldn¡¯t know what to do.¡± Kisa hugged him after hearing that. She snuggled into the man¡¯s arms and murmured, ¡°Yeah¡­ Thank god.¡± ¡®Fortunately, I was not as deep in despair back then as Lea was, and I was still able toe out of it.¡¯ Kisa felt sad and regretful when she thought of Lea and Anthony, but there was nothing she could do anymore. The living could only let time heal their pain and grief. That afternoon, Kisa and Gilbert went back to the Mullen residence. They still stayed in the same room. Mrs. Mullen Sr. had be extra nice to them since there was a considerable improvement in Vivian¡¯s legs. It was all thanks to Kelvin. That afternoon, Mrs. Mullen Sr. asked the staff to prepare a feast. There were many people at the dining table. All the sons and daughters-inw of the Mullen family were there except for Anthony. Adrien was also there. Ever since Kisa knew that Adrien approached her in the beginning just to harm her and Gilbert, she no longer had any interest in that person. No matter how bright his smile was, Kisa secretly mocked him while being cautious. ¡°Are you doing alright these few days, Kisa?¡± Adrien asked with concern when Gilbert was busy filling up her soup bowl. Kisa was startled, but she smiled and nodded, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°Then why do you look so much skinnier than before?¡± Kisa pursed her lips and smiled. She could not tell the man about her pregnancy because he would try to hurt the child in her womb. ording to Lea, Adrien did not want to kill Gilbert and Kisa. Instead, he wanted them to kill each other. It was highly possible that Kisa would reconcile with Gilbert because of their child in her womb. ¡®If that man knew I was pregnant, he would most likely try to get rid of our child,¡¯ she thought. Kisa tried to stabilize her emotions and looked at Adrien. Suddenly, her face looked sad. ¡°It¡¯s just¡­ I lost my best friend, so I¡¯m a little depressed.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Adrien nodded knowingly. ¡°You still have to look after yourself,¡± he added. As soon as he said that, Carrie, the second daughter-inw of the Mullen family, suddenlyughed in a strange manner. ¡°That friend of Mrs. Kooper is the bar girl who hooked up with Anthony.¡± Kisa stared at Carrie, and her eyes narrowed coldly. However, Carrie continued, ¡°Tch. I heard that she killed herself. What was she even thinking? Her status was low, sure, but if she kept hooking up with Anthony, I¡¯m sure she could have gotten something out of it. Why did she have to take her own life? I mean, it¡¯s not like Anthony disliked her. I heard that on the day she died, he was so sad that he fell into aa for several days. He was even looking for that woman when he woke.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Kisa sneered. ¡°Well, she¡¯s gone now. So, no matter how deep his love for her seemed, it was no use.¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. did not look happy after hearing that, and Jane¡¯s expression was not much better either. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1349 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1349 Chapter 1349 There Is Only One Way Carrie did not seem to notice how Mr. Mullen Sr. and Jane¡¯s faces changed after listening to what she said. She then continued talking with disdain stered across her face. ¡°What I¡¯m saying is that that woman is dumb. She was already sleeping with Anthony. Why didn¡¯t she make use of it to marry into the family? I mean, Aunty Jane became a part of the Mullen family because of the child she bore. That woman could have done the same. I don¡¯t get why she didn¡¯t just ask Aunty Jane for advice. Why would she kill herself just like that? Oh, I forgot¡­¡± Carrie was disdainful and proud. She seemed to have remembered something and sneered, ¡°I forgot your friend was actually pregnant with Anthony¡¯s child, but Ms. Reyes outyed her. Tsk, tsk. She was merely a ything that could be reced easily. No wonder she killed herself!¡± m! As soon as Carrie finished speaking, Mr. Mullen Sr. mmed the table unbearably. ¡°You¡¯re quite the chatterbox, eh? If you don¡¯t want to eat, then get out!¡± This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Carrie¡¯s body shrank, and she immediately shut her mouth, no longer daring to say anything. The rest also lowered their heads and acted like it was not their problem. Mrs. Mullen Sr., on the other hand, calmly ate her food without a care in the world. Kisa clenched her fists tightly, and the veins on the back of her hands popped out. Gilbert held her hand and stroked it gently with his thumb as if tofort her. After a while, he sneered at Carrie and said, ¡± Wow. You seem to know a lot about the tips and tricks of stepping into a wealthy family, Ms. Carrie.¡± Carrie was startled. She looked at Gilbert inexplicably while he gracefully added food to Kisa¡¯s te. ¡°Seeing that you¡¯re so familiar with bearing children to step into a wealthy family, am I wrong to say that you tried every means to conceive Mr. Leon¡¯s child so that you can be his wife?¡± ¡°Pfft-¡± Lydia suddenly let out a muffledugh. She then quickly lowered her head, trying to minimize her existence, knowing it had been impolite of her tough. The expression on Carrie¡¯s face looked extremely ugly. She did not have aeback to refute Gilbert¡¯s words. Right at that moment, Mrs. Mullen Sr. said to her hatefully, ¡°The way you stepped into this family was not very glorious either, so you should keep your mouth shut and stop gossiping about other people!¡± ¡®I would have never let a woman like you marry into the family if you weren¡¯t pregnant with my son¡¯s child,¡¯ Mrs. Mullen Sr. thought. ¡®You even led him astray.¡± Carrie bit her lip in anger. She did not dare make a sound. Gilbert ate the soup slowly, not forgetting to fill Kisa¡¯s te with food throughout the process. Kisa did not eat much since her tummy was feeling weird, but she tried her best to push through it because Adrien was there. She did not want to expose herself to him in the slightest. Another thing that worried her was Gilbert treating her very well, to the point of meticulously caring for her health. She noticed that Adrien had been observing their behavior at the dinner table and was afraid that he would use other means to drive a wedge between her and Gilbert if they continued. She still could not figure out why he wanted her and Gilbert to hate each other. ¡®What good does it do for him if Gilbert and I fought? Even if he really is David, there¡¯s no reason for him to wish harm upon us. Plus, it¡¯s still pretty unlikely that he¡¯s David.¡¯ Kisa thought about it carefully. ¡®There¡¯s only one way to find out Adrien¡¯s ultimate goal, but¡­¡¯ She looked sideways at Gilbert with aplex feeling and a hint of uneasiness in her heart. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1350 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1350 Chapter 1350 This Man Cannot Be Praised After dinner, Kisa and Kelvin went to visit Vivian. As soon as they entered the yard, Kisa saw her sitting in her wheelchair, trying to lift her legs. She was able to move them slightly, but not all the way. Vivian seemed a little frustrated that she could not lift her legs. Her face was full of anxiety and annoyance. ¡°There¡¯s no need to rush, Ms. Mullen. Dr. Hoover said that you¡¯re doing great, so don¡¯t worry. Take your time.¡± Kisa chuckled as she walked over. When Vivian saw her, a smile instantly appeared on her face. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time. Please, sit, she said. She then ordered the servants to pour them some tea. Vivian¡¯splexion had improved a lot. The depressed look on her face was also gone. Kisa was happy for her. She helped Vivian with the nket on herp and said in a low voice, ¡°We¡¯re entering winter soon, you have to stay warm. Keep up the good work, and I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll be able to stand up in no time.¡± Vivian nodded, looking at her with gratitude. She held Kisa¡¯s hand and said, choking up. ¡°Thank you. I¡¯m afraid I would never be able to stand anymore if it weren¡¯t for you.¡± Kelvin rolled his eyes when he heard that, but Kisa was amused. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t thank me. You should thank our wonderful hero right here. Otherwise, he¡¯s going to have a problem with us,¡± she joked. Vivian came to her senses and chuckled, ¡°Oh, yes, of course. Thank you, Dr. Hoover. You¡¯re indeed a talented genius in the medical field.¡± Her praise made Kelvin feel like he was on cloud nine. ¡°Well, no one has ever doubted my medical skills. I can even bring you back from the gates of hell if you want.¡± This man really goes overboard when praised,¡¯ Kisaughed to herself. Kelvin did a routine checkup on Vivian¡¯s legs and then hid in the corner of the yard to have a video call with Gracie. Vivian looked at him and smiled at Kisa. ¡°He¡¯s always video-calling with that partner of his for long periods every day. It¡¯s clear that they¡¯re happy together,¡± she said with envy in her eyes. ¡®Who wouldn¡¯t be jealous of love and happiness?¡¯ Kisa thought. ¡°They¡¯ve experienced quite a lot of drama. But fortunately, everything is fine now,¡± Kisa whispered. ¡°In fact, many things can be beautiful after experiencing storms. I¡¯m positive you¡¯ll be able to stand, and everything will be fine.¡± Vivian looked down and said disappointedly. ¡°I¡¯ve been wasting my time for so many years. He might not even recognize me if I ever see him again. He might even be married to another woman and have a beautiful family. I¡¯ll only be an outsider then.¡± Kisa stared at Vivian and hesitated for a long time. In the end, she could not help but reveal her true purpose for being there. ¡°Actually, Ms. Mullen¡­ I¡¯ve always wanted to ask you about David Kooper.¡± Vivian was startled. After a while, she looked up at Kisa, but her eyes did not seem kind as before; they were cold. ¡°What do you want to know?¡± she asked. ¡°I want to know what happened to you and David back then. Most importantly, I want to know where he went.¡± ¡°Why do you want to know those things? Are you also looking for him?¡± Vivian frowned. As Kisa faced Vivian, she could no longer hide it anymore. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m looking for him because¡­ He was my mother¡¯s favorite person.¡± ¡°Your mother¡¯s favorite person?¡± ¡°When my mom was dying, she kept calling out his name.

Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1351 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1351 Chapter 1351 Just an Outsider Vivian was shivering, possibly traumatized. Kisa, regretting her own hastiness, was afraid that Vivian would break down and go crazy again like she did before. She knew she should have asked the questions. only after Vivian¡¯s leg hadpletely healed, but she just could not wait any longer. Adrien had been at the Mullen residence, seemingly watching her and Gilbert¡¯s every move all the time, and the person who used psychotropic drugs on her had yet to be identified. Feeling that danger still lingered everywhere in the Mullen residence, she wanted to find out about David and get out of there as soon as possible. Vivian was shaking all over, her hand gripping the handrail, her knuckles turning white from using too much force. Kisa stared at her anxiously. As she thought of changing the subject, Vivian suddenly asked her, ¡°What is your mother¡¯s name?¡± Hesitating for a few seconds, she then said, ¡°Emilia Becker.¡± This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Vivian¡¯s face turned pale instantly. That made Kisa wonder why and what was so special about her mother¡¯s name. Vivian chuckled at times, cried at others, and self-deprecated. ¡°It turns out that I was, am, and will still be an outsider to him. The name he called out that night turned out to be your mother¡¯s. So, you¡¯re his child, aren¡¯t you?¡± Vivian snickered, her voice frightening and a little bleak. Kisa clenched her hands. ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong. My father is not David.

All of you get out of my sight. I don¡¯t need treatment anymore. Even if I lose my leg, I won¡¯t treat it anymore. Get out of my sight.¡± Vivian lost control of her emotions, grabbed the teapot and cups on the stone table and hurled them at Kisa. Kelvin was shocked and quickly pulled Kisa away, but a cup still hit the corner of her forehead, bruising her and spilling the tea all over her. Kelvin was furious and said to Vivian, ¡°We are kind enough to treat your leg, but it turns out that you don¡¯t really appreciate it.¡± As he finished speaking, he brought Kisa outside. Kisa could not help but look back, only to see Vivian covering her face, crying with grief. She felt bad, wondering if she had done something wrong again. But she was still happy to see Vivian¡¯s leg get treated this time. It got dark early in the winter. The sky was still bright when they came just now, but now the cold streetlights had alle on. Kisa walked silently behind Kelvin, who looked back every few steps to see if she was following. After a while, seeing hergging behind, he could not help but call out to her, ¡°Hurry up.

He rubbed his arms as he came up to Kisa, frowning at her.¡± What¡¯s wrong with you again? It is dark, and the courtyard is already eerie enough. You scared the hell out of me by shouting like that.¡± ¡°No. I just saw what looked like a glimpse of a person under thismppost.¡± It scared the daylights out of Kelvin. ¡°Stop scaring me. How could there be anyone here?¡± Kelvin said, ncing around. Besides the two of them, there was no one around. They hade from Vivian¡¯s ce, which was a bit far from the main building. There were many winding paths leading to various corners of the courtyard in between these two ces. The spot they were at now was the most remote, most eerie, and most tree- lined section of the path. But Kisa was sure she had really gotten a glimpse of someone under the streetlight and that someone must be hiding in the wood. Thinking about the eerie, malicious eyes that she felt every time previously, a thought came to her mind, and she said to Kelvin, ¡°Can you go behind those trees and see if there is anyone there?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Kelvin refused at once. It was pitch ck and scary in there, and there could be some monsters hiding in the dark. He wrapped his arms around himself, as the more he thought about it, the more terrified he felt. ¡°Come on Kisa. Gilbert is waiting for you in the room,¡± Kelvin said, reaching to tug on her coat. But Kisa had questions. She knew she would regret it if she did not find out what it was. ¡°You wait here. I¡¯ll go in there and take a look.¡± With that, she turned on her phone¡¯s shlight and walked into the wood. Kelvin watched on and was speechless by how gutsy Kisa was but was also worried that if something happened to her, Gilbert woulde after him. He sighed helplessly and reluctantly followed her. He also turned on his shlight. The two of them walked one after the other, with Kisa in front and Kelvin behind. Kelvin was shivering, as if he was in fear. Kisa nced back at him and snickered. ¡°When we get back to Calthon, I¡¯ll have Gracie take you to the haunted house at the amusement parks more often.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going. Gracie knows I can¡¯t handle those things. She won¡¯t take me there.¡± ¡°Oh, yeah?¡± Kisa let out an evil smile. ¡°I¡¯ll ask her out to have fun then. I think she¡¯ll bring you along.¡± Kelvin¡¯s face sank. ¡°You¡¯re just like Gilbert, evil to the core.¡± As the two talked, the atmosphere felt less scary. Kisa scanned the surroundings with the help of her phone¡¯s shlight, but she found nothing. Kelvin did not dare to do so, as he was afraid to see ¡®scary things¡¯. He knew that it was all in his head, but he was still afraid. Coming out of the wood, Kisa looked puzzled. ¡°That¡¯s strange. Was I mistaken?¡± ¡°You must be hallucinating. Come on, who would hide in the woods?¡± Kelvin said, dragging her back toward the main building. This time he let Kisa walk in front of him lest she got paranoid again. But Kisa was still baffled, doubting whether she was wrong and hallucinating. She felt a bit anxious, wondering if she would have that nightmare again tonight. Back in the main building, Kelvin was visibly relieved.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Theputer was on in front of him, with some documents next to it. When they came in, he was writing on a piece of paper. After hearing what Kelvin said, he put down the pen in his hand and looked at Kisa, seemingly checking to see if she was injured. Kisa deliberately let her hair down and her bangs just covered the bruise, which arose because Vivian had hit her with a teacup. Gilbert nced over her and looked at Kelvin. ¡°Why did you say that?¡± ¡°Your woman was being paranoid all day, saying that she saw a shadow under the streetlight at night and someone was hiding behind trees. It¡¯s creeping me out. I¡¯m not going to walk with her at night anymore. I¡¯m afraid she would scare me to death instead of other things.¡± Hearing Kelvin grumbling and seeing his resentment, Gilbert said to him light¨Cheartedly, ¡°You should really work on your guts.

Kisa pursed her lips and smiled, thinking, ¡°Nothing can be kept from his eyes.¡± She looked at him and shook her head. ¡°Nothing happened. I just had an argument with Vivian.¡± ¡°You argued with someone else?¡± Gilbert sounded surprised. Kisa was bemused. ¡°Why not? I¡¯m pretty mean, too. And I¡¯ll fight you to death if you piss me off.¡± ¡°Well, true. You¡¯d hate me if I pissed you off.¡± While speaking, he drew close to her and gently kissed her in the nape of her neck. Kisa wrapped her arms around his neck and suddenly noticed a phenomenon; since the time Lea came to talk to her, she and Gilbert seemed to reconcile tacitly, with him treating her with utmost care and tenderness and her epting it as a matter of course, and the two of them no longer mentioning those sad things from the past. Kisa thought about it for a moment and decided it would be better not to tell Gilbert what Lea had talked to her about the other day. For now, she was not going to let him know she had forgiven him. After all, she was still thinking about whether to use that method to find out what Adrien had done to them. ¡°What happened here?¡°. A twinge of pain on her forehead drew her attention back.

Thinking about Kelvin¡¯s hesitant look just. now, it was not difficult to guess that the bump on her forehead was caused by her quarrel with Vivian. Since she did not want to talk about it, he would not push her. ¡°Keep your eyes on the road next time.¡± ¡°Mmm¨Chmm.¡± Kisa nodded vigorously. Gilbert suddenly leaned back and narrowed his eyes at her. He felt Kisa had changed a lot these days, more submissive, more well¨Cbehaved, and gentler. He wondered if it was because of her pregnancy. If he had known it, he would have told her about the baby earlier. Gilbert subconsciously tightened his arms. around her. ¡°Let me hug you a little longer.¡± He rested his head against her forehead, his voice hoarse and low, which sounded pleasant to the ear. Kisa remained unmoved. Gilbert just hugged her quietly and did nothing. Kisa looked into his attractive eyes and her heart fluttered. She could not help but raise her hand and caress his face. The deep affection in his eyes was mesmerizing. Gilbert also looked at her, their eyes locked in mutual affection. He then nted a fervent kiss on her lips. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. His kisses were passionate, yet gentle. Kisa was aplete novice at kissing and always on the receiving end. In just a few minutes, Kisa waspletely overwhelmed. She leaned weakly on his shoulders, her heart racing and her eyes aglow. Gilbert kissed the side of her neck, then ran his lips up to her ear and said in a low voice, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to send you to prison back then.¡± Kisa stiffened.

If this had happened back then, she would have thought that he was just pretending. But now, she would not think so. She raised her hands and wrapped them around him, whispering, ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s over.¡± ¡°Kisa, if time could be turned back, I would rather die than hurt you even a bit.¡± His voice was calm and firm, and it spoke of his deep affection for her. Kisa sat up straight and smiled at him. ¡°I don¡¯t want to turn back the clock, because you didn¡¯t treat me well back then.¡± ¡°That was me being stupid and not knowing how good you were.¡± ¡°Wow, I didn¡¯t know that the great CEO of GK Pictures would admit to being stupid.¡± Kisa snickered.

He rarely confessed his feelings, but when he did and admitted to her the mistakes he had made back then, she looked like she couldn¡¯t care less. So he got angry, feeling that his expression had gone to waste. But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the harder Kisaughed. Annoyed, he pushed her down. A thought came to Kisa¡¯s mind. leveraging on the force, Kisa took several steps back and fell on her buttocks on the floor. She put her hand to her belly and looked at him with resentment. ¡°Are you trying to murder your own child?¡± Gilbert panicked and immediately got up to crouch in front of her. ¡°Are you okay?¡± He looked panic- stricken and had a hard time putting his words together. ¡°I¨CI didn¡¯t mean to push you. I¨CI didn¡¯t use a lot of force. I was angry but I¨CI just pushed you gently.¡± Kisa sneered. ¡°You think I¡¯m blind?

Should I ask Kelvin toe and check up on you?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Kisa got up from the floor with ease and brushed down her clothes. ¡°Now you know how it feels to be wronged, don¡¯t you?¡± Gilbert narrowed his eyes and stared at her. ¡°You faked a fall to frighten me?¡± Kisa pped her hands and said lightheartedly, ¡°Yeah, didn¡¯t Sara and Sharon use this trick a lot before? I still remember when I once pushed Sara gently, she fell to the ground in a dramatic manner. When I said I didn¡¯t use any force, you didn¡¯t believe me either. Gilbert, now you know that what you see isn¡¯t necessarily true, right?¡± Gilbert stared sullenly at her, not speaking, as if he had nothing to say. Kisa smiled at him. ¡°It¡¯ste. I¡¯m going to bed.

Maybe I will when I¡¯m in a better mood.¡± She broke away from his hand and headed for the bathroom. Gilbert stared sullenly at her from behind and suddenlyughed in exasperation. He decided to retract what he had just said about her, as she had clearly not be gentler at all. He felt that she had be worse, daring to mock him. At around 6.00 am, Kisa woke up with a nightmare. It had been so many days since shest had that nightmare that she had almost forgotten about it. Gilbert stroked her sweaty back and said in a deep voice, ¡°Yesterday afternoon, we went back to the Mullen residence, where we only had lunch. Besides, I basically served all the dishes you ate, and I also ate all those dishes, even the soup.

A long whileter, something shed through her mind, and she instantly became excited. ¡°It¡¯s tea.¡± Kisa grabbed Gilbert¡¯s arm. ¡°It¡¯s the tea I took at Vivian¡¯s ce. Come to think of it, when I was at the Mullen residence, I visited Vivian almost every day and drank the tea in her ce every time.¡± ¡°Vivian?¡± Gilbert slowly narrowed his eyes, and his dangerous aura rose.

If there are any problems, let me know immediately.¡± After a pause, he seemed to suddenly remember something. ¡°Yesterday, I mentioned the ¡®restricted zone¡® to Mr. Mullen Sr.¡± Kisa was startled. ¡°How did it go?

After bantering a bit with Gilbert. in bed, the sky had turned brightpletely outside. She wanted to go to Vivian¡¯s ce to check if there was anything wrong with the tea, but since she had a fight with Vivianst night, she thought it might not be a good idea to go there now. She decided to wait two days before going there. In the morning, Kisa had breakfast prepared by Gilbert, who was now giving extra care about her diet just in case someone was trying to harm her. The sun was warm in the early winter. Kisa sat in a wicker chair in the backyard with a newspaper in hand. She was shocked when she read the headlines. It was about the Reyes family, whose business in Athadale had gone belly¨Cup overnight. Karen, once a high and mightydy, had been reduced to a lowly. figure that everyone could bully. Kisa looked at the pictures in the newspaper. The photos were of the miserable looks of the Reyes family and of the crying face of Karen. ¡°How could it be?

He was wearing a ck shirt and ck pants, like a ghostly demon roaming the earth. ¡®He really loved Lea, didn¡¯t he? But he loved her the wrong way and caused irreparable regret and sadness.¡¯ As Kisa was thinking, Gilbert suddenly brought over a bowl of soup. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Drink it. It¡¯s a stew I made with my own hands. It has a strong taste, but I guess you can drink it.¡± Kisa looked at him in bewilderment. ¡°Didn¡¯t I just finish my breakfast?¡± ¡°Eat some more. You¡¯re losing weight. I¡¯m worried that my baby will be underweight when it is born,¡± Gilbert said, and used his hands to make an exaggerated gesture. Kisa rolled her eyes at him, but still finished the soup. It tasted a little strange, sour, and spicy, but quite appetizing. She also ate two chunks of chicken meat in the soup. After finishing the soup, she handed the bowl to Gilbert when Adrien¡¯s smiling voice came. ¡°Wow, Mr. Kooper really spoils his wife like crazy. You made not only breakfast but soup for your wife. Tsk, such a good man like Mr. Kooper is a rare species nowadays.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she became cautious at seeing Adrien approaching. ¡°I couldn¡¯t eat or sleep these past few days because of my friend¡¯s death, and I¡¯m losing weight. But because I¡¯m Gilbert¡¯s wife, me being out of shape would put Gilbert in a bad light, and people might think he abuses his wife. So, he dotes on me with a purpose. But you only see the good side of him.¡± she said faintly, before Gilbert could say anything. Gilbert¡¯s face darkened. But he did not get angry in front of Adrien. ¡°Yes, I do everything with a purpose. Are you happy now?¡± he said faintly and took the bowl back into the house. Gilbert was at work again when Kisa returned to her room. When Kisa came in, his expression was cold and he acted as if he did not see her, not sparing her a nce. Kisa quietly walked over and sat down opposite him. But he was still looking at theputer screen, never taking notice of her. After a long while, she asked, ¡°Are you still mad at me?¡± He said nothing at first. But after a long while, he seemed to have lost his temper. ¡°If all my kindness to you has been for a purpose, why do you care about me?¡± Kisa lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, having mixed emotions. Had there not been so many unanswered questions and unresolved dangers, she would have revealed her feelings to Gilbert so that they could be together again. But she did not, as Adrien was obviously an enemy. Judging by Gilbert¡¯s temperament, he would confront Adrien directly if she told him. What she wanted now was to find out Adrien¡¯s ultimate motive. She suspected that someone might be behind Adrien, pulling his strings. As long as these questions were not answered, there would always be danger. So, after thinking it over, she decided to sound him out. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1358 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1358 Chapter 1358 Can¡¯t You Coax Me? In fact, she had thought of a method yesterday, but it would inevitably break Gilbert¡¯s heart. Feeling upset at the thought, Kisa stood up and silently walked outside. Just then, Gilbert quickly pulled her back and retorted, ¡°What are you trying to do by leaving right after I comined about you? Can¡¯t you coax me a little?¡± Kisa looked at him quietly, while he looked irritated. ¡°I reproached you because of those hurtful things you said. Yet you¡¯re acting unhappy about it. Kisa, do you care about me at all? I can¡¯t wait to love you with all my heart and mind, yet you keep doubting me. What do you want from me?¡± Kisa secretly clenched her hands at her sides, in a predicament. If she wanted to use that method to get to Adrien, then this was the best opportunity to ¡®break up¡¯ with Gilbert. She had thought to exin the situation to Gilbert before, asking him to stage a ¡®break-up¡¯ with her, and then she would pretend to work with Adrien against him. After she had gained Adrien¡¯s trust, she could find out what Adrien¡¯s n was. But Adrien was cunning. If their ¡®break-up¡¯ was not realistic enough, she would have difficulty in gaining his trust. This was the only chance, and she did not dare to risk it. After thinking long and hard, Kisa pulled her hand out of Gilbert¡¯s and looked at him with indifferent eyes. You deceived and hurt me so badlyst time. Now, how do you expect me to treat you?¡± Gilbert was struck dumb and looked at her, feeling as if he no longer knew her. ¡®She was just finest night and this morning. Why did she seem to be a different person all of a sudden?¡¯ He murmured, ¡°I know I¡¯m wrong. How do you want me to make it up to you? Tell me, I promise you I will do it as best as I can.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Kisa snickered. ¡°That jail sentence back then caused me to go through a miscarriage.

Before this, he had suspected that she was pregnant with triplets. Now, seeing how confident she was, he started to believe that she was really carrying triplets at that time.

Since you showed me kindness, I had no reason not to enjoy it, as long as I knew clearly that your kindness was just a show. In fact, you can even continue to be good to me if you want, but I won¡¯t be moved.¡± She felt suffocated after saying this, as she could not bear to see the indignant and hurt look in Gilbert¡¯s eyes. Shooting an indifferent nce at him, Kisa then turned to leave. Just then, Gilbert suddenly pulled her into his arms.

It¡¯s not easy to forgive with such pain.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Gilbert tightened his arms, almost cradling her entirely in his embrace. He buried his head in the crook of her neck, apologizing repeatedly. Kisa could feel the warmth of the droplets on her neck so clearly that it almost scorched her heart. She took a deep breath and pushed the hands around her waist, but Gilbert tightened his arms. ¡°Will you forgive me if I die?¡± He asked suddenly, his voice deep and depressed yet determined. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°If you die, I won¡¯t forgive you, because I want you to suffer. Death would be too easy for you.¡± With that, she pushed his hands away with all her strength and hurried toward the door, fearing that if she stayed in this room one moment longer, the very apathy she had tried so hard to muster would come crashing down. Just as she reached the door, Gilbert¡¯s near-humble voice suddenly came from behind her. ¡°Aren¡¯t we having a baby again? For the sake of this child, can¡¯t we-¡± ¡°We can¡¯t.¡± Kisa answered firmly, without a hint of hesitation, because she was afraid that she would go soft. She did not turn around, but just said indifferently, ¡°Don¡¯t spread the news that I¡¯m pregnant. It¡¯s common knowledge that you sent me to prison in the first ce.

Was she ying me for a fool?¡¯ As Kisa walked downstairs, wiping her tears, she ran into Adrien again. She wondered if Adrien had been watching her and Gilbert for the past two days; she always ran into this man. She pretended not to see him and deliberately made a sad face as she headed downstairs. As she grazed past him, Adrien called out to her just as she expected. ¡°Kisa, what¡¯s wrong? Who bullied you?¡± Kisa bit her lip, holding back her emotions, but the grief and anger on her face were getting more and more intense. ¡°Kisa, what¡¯s wrong? Talk to me,¡± Adrien asked again.

In fact, when I first approached him, he already saw through my purpose. He¡¯s more alert and more cold- hearted than anyone else. He¡¯s like a high king, looking down on a humble mole like me. I was like a clown, doing everything in the palm of his hand. Just like recently, I made GK Pictures sign a contract with Risen Enterprise to set GK Pictures up. On the surface, he didn¡¯t me me. He even indulged and spoiled me. But he knew everything. He didn¡¯t me me but was actually waiting for me to make bigger mistakes and expose myself.¡± Adrien took out a cigarette and lit it, exhaling a ring of smoke and frowning. ¡°It seems that Gilbert is really shrewd. He knew you got close to him to harm him, but he kept you around anyway. Why do you think he did it?¡± Kisa snickered. ¡°Tough at my ineptitude, I guess. He was clear-headed and knew that I couldn¡¯t fight him, so he wasn¡¯t afraid to keep me around. Just now, he and I fell out because I just couldn¡¯t hold back my grief and anger and moved in on him. Just a bit more and I could have stabbed the fruit knife right into his heart.¡± Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Kisa was exceptionally gifted in acting. When she said these things, her facial expressions were so realistic that no one could doubt it. Adrien¡¯s expression instantly turned serious. ¡°You almost killed him?¡± Chapter 1361 Chapter 1361 Chapter 1361 He¡¯s Still Pretending Kisa hissed, ¡°He deserves to die. Jensen is still in aa, those ugly burn scars on my body will never fade, and that baby of mine will nevere back. So how can he live so well? He¡¯s the one who deserves to die!¡± It hurt her to say this. She clenched her hands, looking indescribably grief-stricken. Adrien exhaled a ring of smoke and urged her, ¡°Silly girl. If you murder him, you¡¯ll have hell to pay. It¡¯s not worth it to put your life on the line like that.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± Kisa covered her face and cried with grief. ¡°He hurt me, and he hurt the person who treated me the best. I hate him. I hate him to death.¡± Outside the door, Gilbert listened quietly to the conversation inside, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. He had been worried about her, so after she ran out, he followed her. He could not help himself worry about her although he knew she hated and resented him. And now, listening to her hateful words, his worry seemed so ridiculous. Heughed at himself, with grief, despair, and tinge of resentment on his face. ¡®We can¡¯t be reconciled anymore. She and I can never be reconciled anymore.¡¯ He turned around and walked down the long hallway slowly, feeling lonely and depressed. ¡°Kisa, listen to me. There are many ways to get back at him. It doesn¡¯t have to kill him,¡± Adrien said earnestly. ¡°The best way to get back at someone is to make him lose everything and be miserable.¡± There was a touch of ruthlessness in his voice. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡®It seems that Adrien doesn¡¯t want to kill me and Gilbert. What he wants most is for me and Gilbert to suffer. But what exactly does Adrien have against us that he wants to take revenge on us? Or is he taking revenge on us for someone else? Only that person is staying in the shadows?¡¯ Kisa suppressed her doubts and looked at Adrien with reddened eyes. ¡°What can I do to make him lose everything and be in pain?¡± As Adrien said nothing and continued smoking a cigarette silently, she suddenly knelt in front of him. ¡°Uncle Adrien, for the sake of your acquaintance with my mother, please help me-help me get revenge.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Adrien quickly helped her up. ¡°Silly girl. I never said I wouldn¡¯t help you. I was just thinking about things.¡± ¡®I guess he¡¯s thinking about whether he can trust me, isn¡¯t he?¡¯ Kisa thought to herself. ¡°I know your mother very well. Even if you hadn¡¯t asked, I would have helped you. But I¡¯m not sure I could be of help to you,¡± Adrien said. ¡°It is better to have your help than to be on my own.¡± Kisa choked back a sob. She suddenly smiled again, looking ironic. ¡°Uncle Adrien, do you know how that man reacted after I just failed to kill him?¡± Adrien looked at her with a raised eyebrow, as if he was interested in what she was saying. ¡°What is his reaction?¡± he asked. ¡°He hugged me and said he loved me. Heh, he¡¯s still pretending after all that.¡± Adrien¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°Maybe he really loves you.¡± ¡°No way.¡± Kisa retorted. ¡°If he really loved me, he wouldn¡¯t have done all that to me.¡± Adrien smiled faintly, as if he knew what was going on. ¡°Kisa, listen to me. Continue to please him and stay by his side.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Kisa put on a resentful look. ¡°I hate him. I can¡¯t stay with him for a day.¡± ¡°Be good.¡± Adrien stroked her head gently, saying, ¡°Only by staying at his side can you have the chance to make him lose everything.¡± Chapter 1362 Chapter 1362 Chapter 1362 This Revenge Can Be Considered Complete There was a sudden knock on the door. Adrien looked rmed. ¡°Come in.¡± As the door opened, it was one of the Mullen family¡¯s maids standing in the doorway. ¡°Mr. Tanner, may I ask if Mrs. Kooper is with you?¡± Adrien looked over at Kisa, who asked the maid, ¡°Is there something I can do for you?¡± ¡°Miss Mullen would like to see you.¡± Kisa was surprised that Vivian still wanted to see her, and that it was so soon. She nodded her head. ¡± Okay, I¡¯ll be right over. You can go now.¡± ¡°Yes, Mrs. Kooper.¡± After the maid left, Adrien smiled at her. ¡°You seem to care about Vivian.¡± Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I can¡¯t help it. Both of were hurt by our beloved and are suffering miserably. We are in the same boat.¡± Kisa chuckled. ¡°It would be great if Kelvin could heal her. It would be worth it for the Mullen family to show me their hospitality.¡± ¡°By the way, Kisa, may I ask, why are you thinking of staying at the Mullen residence for a while?¡± Kisa pursed her lips, thinking, ¡®It seems that he has already begun to suspect the purpose of me staying at the Mullen residence.¡¯ She smiled and said, ¡°Gilbert was lying when he said I liked the view in the Mullen residence.¡± Adrien looked at her with a frown. ¡°The real reason I¡¯m staying here is because of my friend, Lea. I knew about Lea¡¯s rtionship with Anthony and was worried that Anthony would hurt her, so I took the opportunity of staying at the Mullen residence to observe Anthony. But it was still no use; even though I repeatedly urged Anthony to let Lea go and not to hurt her, he still didn¡¯t listen to me, and my friend¡­¡± Kisa said, looking sad. Adrien patted her shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t me yourself. Your friend made the choice to leave like that. Think of it as a sort of release for her. She¡¯s free now and doesn¡¯t have to suffer any more.¡± Kisa sighed. ¡°I guess that¡¯s all I can think of. I¡¯ll go to see Vivian now. You take a rest.¡± ¡°Okay. Go ahead.¡± Kisa had just taken a few steps outside when Adrien suddenly called out to her again, ¡°Kisa!¡± She was startled and looked back at him. ¡°Think about what I¡¯ve said. The only way to have a chance to leave him with nothing is to remain by his side. Only then can your revenge beplete,¡± he said with a smile. Kisa pursed her lips and nodded. ¡°I will.¡± Walking out of the room, Kisa¡¯s expression turned grave. ¡®It looks like Adrien is eager to see Gilbert lose everything and be heartbroken. Or maybe he couldn¡¯t wait to see Gilbert and I kill each other. In that case, I¡¯ll have to work faster to show him the scenario he wants to see. That way, he¡¯ll reveal his true colors Then I will find out why he wants to take revenge on me and Gilbert, and if there is someone else behind him.¡¯ She lowered her eyes and caressed her still-t belly with her fingertips. Her pregnancy would be obvious in three or four months, so she figured she had to aplish her n before her belly became visible. As Kisa walked to the stairway, she found that the maid was waiting for her there. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, are you finished? Let me lead you to see Miss Mullen.¡± Kisa smiles. ¡°I know the way. You didn¡¯t have to wait here for me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s different today.¡± Chapter 1363 Chapter 1363 Chapter 1363 We Will Eventually Come to This The maid bowed her head slightly and said respectfully, ¡°After Miss Mullen had a fight with you yesterday, she was afraid that you¡¯d be angry and unwilling to see her, so she asked me to make sure you go over.¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you now.¡± On the way downstairs, Kisa asked the maid casually, ¡°How¡¯d you know I was with Mr. Tanner?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper told me,¡± the maid replied. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡®How did Gilbert know I was in Adrien¡¯s room? Had he overheard the conversation I had just had with Adrien?¡¯ she thought to herself, feeling a chill running up her spine. She felt helpless and had mixed emotions. ¡®Screw it. We will eventuallye to this. When I¡¯m done with Adrien, I will exin to him,¡¯ she said in her mind. Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Little did she know, however, that when the truth surfacedter, she would realize that she was the one who owed Gilbert the most in this world. At that time, all her exnations and confessions would be meaningless. In the room, Adrien puffed on his cigarette, his actions slow. He frowned as he stared at the door, deep in thought. When Kisa arrived at the garden outside Vivian¡¯s room, Kelvin was treating her leg with a needle technique. Vivian looked indifferent and said nothing when she saw Kisa. Not wanting to disturb them, Kisa sat quietly on the side. Not long after, the maid came to serve her tea. Kisa looked at the tea for a long time but did not drink it. Seeing that, the maid urged her with a smile. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, this tea is freshly brewed. It tastes better when it¡¯s hot.¡± Kisa nodded and smiled back at her. ¡°I know. You can get back to work,¡± she said, and then held the cup of tea to warm her hands. When the maid saw Kisa was about to drink, she turned around and left. Kisa watched the maid leave and narrowed her eyes, feeling uneasy. With the maid so eager for me to drink the tea, there must be something wrong with it. But Vivian¡¯s expression is as natural as it always is, and she doesn¡¯t seem to care if I drink the tea. I think someone else must have bribed the maid. After all, Vivian is still relying on Kelvin to treat her leg, so there¡¯s no reason for her to harm me. Could it be Adrien who bribed that maid?¡¯ Pushing the thought from her mind, she got up and quietly walked toward the table. Although Kelvin always acted like a cheeky jokester, he was dead serious when it came to his work. While no one was looking, Kisa quickly switched her teacup with Kelvin¡¯s and quickly sat back down. Since Kelvin¡¯s teacup was half empty, she did not have to pretend anymore. The maid came out again and brought her some nuts and snacks. As she put the snacks on the table, she nced at Kisa¡¯s teacup. Kisa noticed that, but she kept quiet, took some walnuts, and ate them. There were a lot of flowers in the garden, and the chrysanthemums were in full bloom. Kisa propped one elbow on the table, the other hand fiddling with the flowers in the pots. She was a bit bored. After a long while, Kelvin finally finished his work and came over with his cup of tea. ¡°Phew, it¡¯s finally done. I¡¯ll be able to start systemic treatment for Vivian in another three days.¡± He sat down across from her and downed the cup of tea in one go. Chapter 1364 Chapter 1364 Chapter 1364 Do You Hate Me Kisa pursed her lips, thinking that Kelvin was careless, not knowing that this full cup of tea differed from his half cup of tea. ¡°You¡¯re still the best.¡± She smiled at him. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. Kelvin was getting smug again. ¡°Of course I am.¡± She shot him an amused look, then looked over at Vivian, who was trying to lift her leg. Thest time Kisa was here, Vivian had not been able to, but this time she managed to raise it a little, moving her feet slightly away from the wheelchair. The treatment had been very effective, and Vivian seemed to be ecstatic about it. Kisa looked at her excited face and was genuinely happy for her. After finishing his tea, Kelvin looked at his phone with a goofy smile on his face. Kisa could right away tell that he was talking to Gracie. She said to him, ¡°Wait for me here. We¡¯ll go back to the main building togetherter, as I have something to tell you.¡± Kelvin was puzzled. ¡°What is it about?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll talk to youter. It¡¯s not a good time to talk right now.¡± Seeing Kisa¡¯s serious face, Kelvin nodded, ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Mrs. Kooper.¡± Vivian suddenly called out to her, her voice nonchnt, neither too loud nor too soft, revealing no emotions. When Kisa turned around, the excitement had gone from Vivian¡¯s face. Vivian. looked at her and said, ¡°You want to know about David, don¡¯t you? I¡¯ll tell you now.¡± Kisa was surprised, not expecting that Vivian would tell her about David so readily. Vivian took her to her room. The ce was stylish, with the faint scent of flowers. Kisa looked at her quietly, without rushing her. Vivian gazed out of the window for a while before speaking. ¡°I thought about it all nightst night and suddenly realized that there are some things that I can¡¯t hold on to anymore. Kisa pursed her lips and made no sound. She figured that Vivian had probably thought it through. ¡°He never loved me. Even when he was in bed with me, he was calling out another woman¡¯s name. Faced with my question, he said that it was a slip of the tongue, and that he called out ¡®Vivian¡¯, not ¡®Emilia¡¯. Heh, the funny thing is that I believed him. How stupid do you think I am?¡± Vivian said. ¡°Do you hate me?¡± Kisa asked in a low voice. Vivian snorted. ¡°What would I hate you for? He loves your mother, and I can¡¯t even hate your mother, let alone hate you.¡± Vivian lowered her eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly. ¡°I had grievances before, and I was obsessed with getting an exnation from him. But I now realize that he has no feelings for me. If that is the case, then he doesn¡¯t need any reason to lie to me. After all, one can be as cruel as one wants to be to someone one doesn¡¯t love. No reasons are needed. He only wants to get what he wants.¡± Vivian took a deep breath and looked at Kisa. ¡°What do you want to know? I¡¯ll tell you everything I know.¡± Kisa clenched her hands on her knees and asked, ¡°What did he do to you in the first ce?¡± Vivian snickered, although her emotions were still calm. ¡°I remember when I first met him, he was passed out and unconscious in front of my car. I picked him up. Later, my family recognized him as David from the Kooper family in Calthon. I wanted to inform his family, but he suddenly woke up and begged me not to tell them about his whereabouts.¡± Chapter 1365 Chapter 1365 Chapter 1365 A Long-nned Plot ¡°At that time, his eyes were profound and resolute, like a bottomless sea I couldn¡¯t help but be lost in and addicted to. I¡¯ve always been a soft-hearted person, so not only did I agree to his request, but I even begged my family not to tell anyone about his whereabouts. My father gave the order, and no one dared to disclose his whereabouts. Do you know for whom this smail garden was first built?¡± Kisa was quietly shocked. ¡®It was for David, wasn¡¯t it? It seems the Mullen family treated him well.¡¯ Vivian seemed to have read her mind andughed at herself. ¡°It was for him. But at the time, I didn¡¯t know that his appearance in front of my car that night had actually been a long-nned plot. There¡¯s no denying that he really is charming. He appeared simple, but often subtly flirtatious. Any woman who spends some time with him will mostly fall in love with him. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. ¡°After his injury healed, he started to subtly show affection for me. I was already in love with him, so in less than six months, I happily said yes to his proposal. He would do anything I asked, even listen to my family. My dad asked him to be his live-in son-inw, and he readily agreed. At that time, I thought he really loved me so much so that he would say yes to anything. I loved him with all my heart and mind. On the eve of our wedding, I even transferred my shares of The Mullen Group and all my assets to him because of his sweet talk. I thought I would be the happiest bride in the world, but¡­¡± She suddenly smiled sadly. ¡°At the wedding, the groom never showed up. I was wearing a wedding dress, pregnant with his child, and searching frantically for him. In the end, a car ident reduced all my expectations and fantasies to ashes, leaving only cataclysmic resentment in my heart.¡± Vivian was already in tears when she finished. ¡®But the fact that she can talk about those unpleasant past events in such a calm voice shows that she hase out of it, hasn¡¯t she?¡¯ Kisa thought. Kisa asked, ¡°And then what happened? Where did he go? Did you investigate?¡± ¡°Of course I did; all of us in the Mullen family wanted him dead, so we searched for him, but we couldn¡¯t find him, as the trail went cold in Oceanville.¡± ¡°Oceanville?¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°Isn¡¯t that where the Webb family is?¡± In David¡¯s letter, she had seen him mention the Webb family of Oceanville. Vivian let out a faint smile. ¡°You found out about the Webb family of Oceanville too? Unfortunately, we couldn¡¯t find him, even after we had turned the Webb family upside down. Because of this, the Mullen family had a huge row with the Webb family.¡± ¡°How did you find out about the Webb family of Oceanville?¡± ¡°Business. We found out that he was doing business with the Webb family and wasst seen at the Webb residence. Only that he¡¯s vanished without a trace since that lead.¡± Kisa frowned. ¡®I think I have got to go to Oceanville.¡¯ As she was thinking, Vivian looked out the window and suddenly said to her, ¡°Speaking of Oceanville, I do remember something.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Kisa followed Vivian¡¯s eyes and saw Adrien, who was walking toward the garden. ¡°During the time we were in Oceanville looking for him, there was a rapidly rising family in Oceanville who became one of the rnost powerful and influential families in just two months, and their family business developed rapidly. You have to know, that family used to be almost unknown before that.¡± ¡°Are you talking about the Tanner family?¡± Vivian nodded her head. Kisa was surprised. ¡°And did you ever suspect that David was rted to the Tanner family?¡± Chapter 1366 Chapter 1366 Chapter 1366 Not Finding Anymore ¡°Of course,¡± Vivian said with certainty. ¡°For a while, I suspected that he was behind the rapid rise of the Tanner family. After all, I was one of the people in charge of The Mullen Group, and the shares and assets I transferred to him were enough for him to support a modest-sized family. But I went to the Tanner family and didn¡¯t see him. Instead, a young man politely told me he didn¡¯t know David, and that the reason for the Tanner family¡¯s rise was a sessful venture with the Webb family, allowing them to grow so rapidly. Now that I think about it, wasn¡¯t that young man Adrien, Mr. Tanner?¡± Kisa frowned as a thought snapped through her mind. ¡°When you saw Adrien, how long had it been since David left you?¡± she asked in a deep voice, ¡°Two months. ¡®Two months? At this moment, Kisa could rule out Adrien having had stic surgery, because even the most advanced stic surgery technology could not make a person change a face in just two months. Besides, Kelvin had also confirmed to her that there was no trace of stic surgery on Adrien¡¯s face, so she realized it was impossible for Adrien to be David. But she just could not figure out why Adrien hated. her and Gilbert so much and wanted to attack them. Adrien hade into the garden at this moment but did not enter the room. He just sat down with Kelvin and talked to him. Kisa looked at Adrien for a long time, with questions in her mind. ¡®It was Jensen who introduced Adrien to me, and it was also the two of them who found the warden. I wonder what kind of rtionship Jensen has with Adrien. Is he working for Adrien or is he conspiring with him to deceive me?¡¯ Thinking about Jensen, she had mixed emotions. ¡®I just hope that Jensen will wake up soon, and I can at least ask him face-to-face.¡¯ She cut the thoughts from her mind and looked at Vivian. ¡°So, do you still want to look for him?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t look for him anymore.¡± Vivian smiled faintly. ¡°When my leg gets better, I¡¯ll move on with my life and try to forget about him.¡± Kisa smiled and nodded. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± ¡®The only reason Vivian¡¯s been able to hang on until now was because her hatred kept her going. But Lea had no hate. She loved Anthony so much that she couldn¡¯t hate him. That was why she chose death as an escape instead, Kisa thought to herself. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Aftering out of Vivian¡¯s room, Kisa was mncholy because the information Vivian had given her was not very useful. After all, that letter had already mentioned the Webb family of Oceanville. Anyway, Vivian¡¯s mention of the Tanner family made her suspect that the person behind the Tanner family was David. ¡°Kisa.¡± Adrien suddenly called out to her. Kisa looked up and saw Adrien walking toward her. ¡°You came to visit Vivian again?¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°Are you here to see Vivian, too, Uncle Adrien?¡± ¡°Yeah. I had nothing to do, so I wandered into the backyard. When I passed by Vivian¡¯s room, I thought I woulde to check her out. You know, Mr. Mullen Sr. has asked me tofort her, since I resemble that man.¡± Adrien lookedposed, his tone casual, not appearing to be fake. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Vivian has gotten out of her haze. When her leg is finally healed, she¡¯ll slowly forget the man who hurt her,¡± Kisa said with a smile, inadvertently ncing toward Adrien. Adrien just smiled with relief. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1367 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1367 Chapter 1367 You¡¯re Using Me as a Lab Rat? ¡°Really? That would be great.¡± Since she was sure that Adrien could not be David, she did not keep testing him. ¡°Uncle Adrien, go check on Vivian. I¡¯m going back now.¡± Adrien nodded. ¡°If you have any problems, talk to me. Don¡¯t act rashly next time. Okay?¡± He was talking about her attempt to kill Gilbert. Kisa nodded vigorously; her eyes determined. ¡°I know, Uncle Adrien.¡± ¡°Go now and take care of yourself.¡± Kisa nodded and turned to leave the garden. Adrien watched her go before turning his gaze. Seeing Kisa leave without saying telling him, Kelvin hurried after her. ¡°Kisa! Kisa!¡± He trotted to catch up with her. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say that you wanted me to wait for you and we go back together, and that you had something to tell me?¡± Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Kisa did not respond but hurried toward the main building. Kelvin looked at her serious face and spontaneously quickened his pace to catch up. After passing the restricted zone, the main building would be visible up ahead. Kisa looked around to make sure that no one was around before she whispered to Kelvin, ¡°I switched my teacup with yours at Vivian¡¯s ce just now. So, the tea you finished drinking was originally mine.¡± Kelvin blinked. ¡°So?¡± ¡°I suspect my recent nightmares have something to do with the tea I have been having at Vivian¡¯s ce. So, if you have a nightmare tonight, let me know, as that will be proof that the tea is the cause and that! am the only one they want to harm.¡± Kelvin stared at her in stupefaction. It took him a few seconds to digest what she said. ¡®Sh*t!¡¯ He cursed in his mind and then said with a huff, ¡°You¡¯re using me as ab rat?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t help it. After all, we are the only ones who often visit Vivian. There¡¯s no one better than you. Besides, the Mullen residence is riddled with danger, and you¡¯re the only one I trust.¡± Kelvin was still angry when he heard the first half of the sentence. But he felt much better upon hearing the second half, as it felt good to be trusted. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯d like to know what¡¯s really going on, anyway. But I¡¯ve got to tell Gilbert about this to let him know what a sacrifice I¡¯ve made for you two.¡± Kisa¡¯s expression stiffened at the mention of Gilbert, but she said nothing. Aftering back from Vivian¡¯s ce, she went straight to her room. Gilbert was away, and hisptop was still on the coffee table by the window. She stared at it for a while before she went to bed. Gilbert did note back for the rest of the day, during which Kelvin hade looking for him twice. He also called Gilbert¡¯s phone and then Davian¡¯s, but both of them did not answer, so Kelvin was worried. Kisa sat by the window, her face calm and indifferent. Kelvin nced at her and said glumly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried?¡± Kisa looked out the window at the darkening sky. ¡°No one can hurt him. So why worry? Besides, worrying only hurts yourself.¡± Kelvin rolled his eyes. ¡°What a heartless woman.¡± He then took a closer look at the apathetic look on her face. ¡°By the way, did you and Gilbert have a fight? You weren¡¯t like this yesterday.¡± ¡°No.¡± Kisa smiled at him. ¡°It is still the same old stories, Thinking about them spoils the mood.¡± ¡°Kisa, actually¡­¡± Chapter 1368 Chapter 1368 Chapter 1368 What Else They Can Do ¡°Okay, I understand everything. You don¡¯t have to exin it to me for him.¡± Kelvin got desperate. ¡°You really misunderstood him. Be it the prison fire or the Jensen thing, you misunderstood him.¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°I know he didn¡¯t do any of those.¡± Kelvin was stunned. ¡°You know?¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°That¡¯s why you don¡¯t have to say all that. I really understand everything.¡± Kelvin nced at her calm face skeptically. ¡°If you understand, then why are you still so cold to him?¡± Kisa thought for a second and suddenlyughed. ¡°We had a fight, just like you thought.¡± Kelvin looked at her in bewilderment, somewhat confused by what she said. Kisa felt sleepy, so she drove him out. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid if you have a nightmare at night. Just tell yourself in your mind that ¡®it is just a dream, just a dream¡±.¡± Kelvin rolled his eyes, as there was no way he was not afraid. He was still anxious when he thought of that ghastly nightmare. Davian and Felicity were both drunk in Club Enigma, and the music in the room was deafening. Felicity copsed on the couch, eyes closed, but could still sing along with a few lines. Davian copsed next to her,pletely cked out. A man was sitting in a dark corner. He was dressed in a ck shirt and ck pants, like Hades, the ruler of darkness. He gently swirled a ss of red wine in his hand, and the dark shade of red that was reflected in his eyes made them blood-red. He stared at the ss for a long time, and suddenly sneered, his expression cold. ¡®That woman¡¯s heart is cold and hard, like a rock. I can never change her.¡¯ ¡°He hurt me, and he hurt the person who treated me the best. I hate him. I hate him to death.¡± Kisa¡¯s words echoed in his mind. He thought she might still be upset with him, but he never thought that she still hated him so much that she wanted him dead. Because he had nowhere to vent his grief and anger, he gripped the stem of the goblet harder with his fingers and it broke in his hand. The broken ss pierced his palm, and he bled profusely. He stared nkly at the crimson-red blood on his palm, and surprisingly, did not feel any pain. Heughed in a strange and maniacal way. A long whileter, he closed his hand, and the blood dripped down to the floor like a stream. Gilbert had drunk a lot tonight and ended up bing disoriented. He stumbled out of the corner with a chillingly grim smile. He did not look at Davian and Felicity but walked straight toward the door. He wanted to see her and ask her if she had a heart and what else they could do for the rest of their lives- to keep on hating each other or there was a slight chance of reconciliation. He suddenly covered his face, as something warm spilled out of his eyes. he leaned against the wall in silence as he felt a lump in his throat. After a long, long while, when he finally removed his hand covering his face, his eyes were already red. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. He turned around, pulled open the door, but in the next moment, he bumped into a soft embrace, which smelled familiar ¨C a long-ago familiarity. He raised his head tipsily and looked at a nearly unknown face in front of him, unable to remember where that familiarity came from. ¡°No, Gilbert¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m sorry. I was wrong¡­¡± ¡°No!¡± Kisa jerked out of her nightmare and sat up in bed, frozen still in the darkness. Chapter 1369 Chapter 1369 Chapter 1369 You¡¯ll Get Him Killed Kisa gasped for air, her vision clearing. She saw lighting in through the window. It was faint, not bright enough, barely illuminating the corner of the bed. She vaguely saw a man sitting in front of a low table. Her heart fluttered with joy, but when she looked closer, there was no one there. Gilbert had not returned for the night. She sat on her bed, hugging her knees, haunted by the nightmare she had just had. In the dream, a voice kept saying to her, ¡°Kisa, you are going to get him killed eventually. You will get him killed.¡± Then she saw Gilbert lying on the floor, covered in blood. She was shocked and jolted out of it. The moment she woke up, she was incredibly d it was just a dream. She hugged her knees tightly, her eyes steady and steadfast. ¡®No matter what, I won¡¯t let Gilbert get hurt. Definitely not!¡± In a hotel, a woman helped Gilbert to the bed. He closed his eyes and frowned, as if he were ufortable. The woman was on top of him, stroking his face over and over again, with longing and indignation in her eyes. ¡®You should have been mine and everything in the Kooper family should have been mine. But why, why should it all go to that b*tch?¡¯ she said in her mind. Her hatred was so strong that she pulled her hand back, but Gilbert grabbed it all of a sudden and held it to his chest, and said in a hoarse and anguished voice, ¡°Don¡¯t leave me, Kisa. Don¡¯t leave me¡­¡± The woman bit her lip, her face one of intense resentment and hatred. Gilbert¡¯s eyes were still closed, and he mumbled, ¡°I¡¯m in so much pain here.¡± He pressed the woman¡¯s hand to his heart, and his hoarse voice was filled with indignation and despair. ¡°What will it take for you to forgive me? Kisa, Kisa¡­¡± ¡®Why is that b*tch all he thinks about?¡¯ Hatred and resentment erupted in the woman¡¯s eyes and consumed her. After a long moment, she suddenly sneered, with a smug look on her face. ¡°Soon, before long, you will be mine, and so will the Kooper family. Heh, Gilbert, did you miss me?¡± She whispered, slowly drawing closer to him. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Just as the woman¡¯s red lips were about to meet his, Gilbert abruptly opened his eyes, the redness in which was horrific. He stared at the woman on top of him, making no movement or saying a word. The woman pulled back a bit at the sight of his expression, but when she saw he had not pushed her away, she moved closer again, smiled gently, and said, ¡°Gilbert, I miss you!¡± And she kissed him again. ¡°Who are you?¡± Gilbert suddenly pushed her away just as her lips were about to touch his. The woman was sent falling down to the floor. Gilbert bounced up from the bed, staring at the woman on the floor. He still looked intoxicated, but his eyes were sinister. ¡°Kisa never smiled so gently at me. She never told me she missed me. Heh, you are not her. You are not her.¡± The woman on the floor gripped the carpet tightly and could not ept this oue. ¡®I¡¯m the woman he loves the most. Who is that b*tch? She was just the person he loathed the most at that time. What has happened since then? How could he be so obsessed with that b*tch? How could he?¡¯ As Gilbert stumbled out of the room, the woman came to her senses, rushed to her feet, and hugged him tightly from behind. Chapter 1370 Chapter 1370 Chapter 1370 Do You Really Not Remember Me? ¡°Gilbert, I missed you. Don¡¯t go. Don¡¯t go¡­¡± Gilbert narrowed his eyes dangerously. He wrenched the woman¡¯s hand away with force, and in one swift turn, he had her by the neck and pressed her hard against the wall. ¡°Who the hell are you?¡± Still intoxicated, he could barely make out who the woman in front of him was, except for the faintest sense of familiarity. The woman looked at him sadly, warm tears dripping from her eyes andnding on the back of his hand.¡± Do you really not remember me?¡± she asked. Gilbert narrowed his eyes, but he still could not make out who she was. He was so upset and irritable that he flung her to the floor. Wanting to see Kisa now, he stumbled out of the room. The woman stared grimly at the doorway of the empty room, her clenched fists bursting with blue veins in hatred. ¡°You will be mine, eventually. Everything you have will be mine, and only mine.¡± Kisa did not sleep for the rest of the night after waking up from a nightmare. It was only at dawn that she got a bit of rest. By the time she got up, it was after 9.00am. One of the good things about staying in the Mullen residence was that no matter howte she woke up, the maids would offer to prepare breakfast or lunch for her unless she said she would not eat it. The maid soon had breakfast ready for her. There were several dishes: pancakes, sandwiches, soups, milk, and so on. Kisa took a sandwich, a pancake with chili sauce, and a bowl of soup and then went to the garden at the back. Sitting in a wicker chair and sunbathing in the garden in winter could not be more rxing. Vivian was getting better and Mrs. Mullen Sr.¡¯s attitude toward her was getting kinder. On her way to the garden, Kisa ran into Mrs. Mullen Sr. who greeted her with a smile. Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s attitude toward her did not seem to have changed, his eyes still looking wily. But it was understandable. Mrs. Mullen Sr. did not like her and Gilbert previously, because of the affair between Vivian and David Now that Vivian was getting better, and her animosity toward them had subsided. But Mr. Mullen Sr. was a different story. He had a grudge against Gilbert because of Sara. Kisa felt upset whenever she thought of Sara. Kelvin was also in the garden, sitting in one of the four wicker chairs at a wooden table, surrounded by nter stands. He was reading the newspaper andpletely absorbed, as if some news headline attracted his attention. ¡°What are you reading?¡± Kisa asked. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Kelvin suddenly looked like he was startled and hurriedly hid the newspaper behind him. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Kisa became suspicious. Kelvin nced at her. ¡°N-Nothing.¡± ¡°Then why are you hiding that paper? Can¡¯t you show it to me?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Kelvin shook his head and nced at her tray of breakfast with a smile. ¡°You have got a good appetite, eating so much.¡± ¡°Stop beating around the bush. Let me see the paper.¡± ¡°Nothing really. Just the usual stuff. The headline is quite catchy, and the content is¡­ it is hard to describe.¡± Kelvin would not give her the paper, and instead clutching it tighter and tighter behind his back. Kisa was not pushing him. It was not like he was the only one who had the paper. She could read it if she wanted to. Chapter 1371 Chapter 1371 Chapter 1371 ept it as God¡¯s Will After all, nowadays, besides the paper version, there was also an online version. Kisa took a sip of her soup and asked, ¡°How did it gost night? Did you have a nightmare?¡± Kelvin looked resentful at the very mention of it. ¡°Look at my eyes yourself. Take a good look.¡± Kisa nced at his eyes and said amusedly. ¡°They look normal, and you¡¯re not blind. What¡¯s wrong?¡± N?velDrama.Org owns ? this. ¡°You have the nerve to ask me what is wrong. Look at the dark circles under my eyes.¡± When Kisa looked closely, she really noticed that he had severe dark circles under his eyes. ¡°I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn¡¯t go back to sleep after that, so I yed with my phone for most of the night.¡± Kisa narrowed her eyes. ¡°Looks like it is really because of that tea.¡± Kelvin could not care less about being angry again. He said with a serious expression on his face, ¡°Could it be Vivian?¡± Kisa shook her head. ¡°She has no reason to harm me, and it was I who asked you toe to treat her leg. so I suspect that someone else close to her was bribed.¡± That¡¯s strange, then. Who could it be that would want to harm you?¡± Kisa shook her head again. ¡°I would like to know, too. So next I will y along and pretend to drink the tea every day. The moment I go ¡®mental¡¯, the person who did this to me will reveal themself.¡± Kelvin nodded. ¡°That is fine. But you¡¯ll have to be more careful in the meantime. After all, you¡¯re out in the open while the other person is hiding in the dark.¡± Kisa took a bite of her sandwich, swallowed it, and asked Kelvin in a whisper, ¡°I¡¯ve had several cups of that questionable tea before. Will it affect the baby in my womb?¡± ¡°It wouldn¡¯t have much effect. After all, you haven¡¯t drunk a lot in the long term.¡± Kelvin¡¯s answer was simr to Gilbert¡¯s, so she was relieved. She then said, ¡°By the way, don¡¯t tell anyone about my pregnancy. Don¡¯t let it slip out.¡± Kelvin was puzzled. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Because I¡¯m afraid the other guy will harm my baby.¡± Kelvin got the message. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll make sure to keep it secret.¡± Kisa nodded and lowered her head to take a bite of pancake and two sips of soup. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew over and the newspaper that Kelvin had hidden behind his back was blown away andnded right at Kisa¡¯s feet. Kelvin was startled and jumped to his feet to pick it up, but Kisa beat him to the punch, bending down to pick it up. ¡°It seems that even God wants me to see what is written in this paper. So, Dr. Hoover, you should just ept it as God¡¯s will.¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Kelvin wanted to say something but hesitated, his expression serious. Kisa¡¯s heart sank with apprehension. Slowly, she spread the paper and then lowered her eyes to read it. A bold headline caught her eye. [GK Pictures¡¯s CEO suspected of cheating, spotted in a hotel with a mystery girlfriend] The apanying photos showed a woman helping Gilbert into a hotel There was a front angle and at back angle On the front, the woman was seen wearing a mask and a hat, in an oversized dress that hid her body shape, so it was not clear who she was Kisa¡¯s expression stiffened. She put the newspaper aside before continuing to drink her soup as if nothing had happened. Kelvin was anxious. ¡°Kisa, this must be a misunderstanding No way Gilbert would go to a hotel with a random woman.¡± Chapter 1372 Chapter 1372 Chapter 1372 ying Along Kisa did not make a sound but kept her head low and drank her soup. Kelvin came to her side and said, ¡°Kisa, trust me, Gilbert is not such an easy person. He only has you in mind. The media has always been so obsessed with reporting such things.¡± Kisa finished the soup in the bowl but did not take a single bite of the sandwich she was holding in her hand, as she had no appetite. She looked at Kelvin. ¡°I understand; he must have been drunk.¡± Kelvin froze for a moment, and then quickly nodded his head. ¡°Yes, yes. Look at the photos in the newspaper It looks like he was drunk.¡± ¡°So, whatever happened, it wasn¡¯t his intention. So don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t me him.¡± And she knew she did not have the right to me him. After all, she was the one who pushed him away just so that she could get near Adrien. Kisa looked too calm for Kelvin¡¯sfort. ¡°You really don¡¯t me Gilbert?¡± She shook her head, looking serious. ¡°I don¡¯t me him.¡± Kelvin suddenly frowned. ¡°Kisa, you don¡¯t me him because you don¡¯t care about him, right?¡± Kisa said nothing, just cleaned up the tray, and walked inside. When a maid came up, she handed the tray to the maid and then turned around to go toward Vivian¡¯s ce. She figured that since she was going to y along, she would drink tea at Vivian¡¯s ce for the next few days. Kelvin was about to follow her when his phone suddenly rang. It was Davian calling. He quickly answered it. The next moment, his face lit up with joy and hurried to catch up with Kisa. ¡°Kisa, Kisa, Davian just called. He said Gilbert didn¡¯t sleep with that womanst night. He came out of the hotel by himselfst night and then slept outside Felicity¡¯s ce all night.¡± Kisa nodded with a calm face. Kelvin was frustrated. ¡°Do you care about Gilbert or not? He was so drunkst night and almost frozen to death outside Felicity¡¯s ce.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Kisa just nodded, uncharacteristically calm. Kelvin rolled his eyes behind her back. ¡°What a heartless woman.¡± What he did not see, however, was the smile that shed across Kisa¡¯s face.. Felicity asked the maid to make some chicken soup for Gilbert, who was leaning against the headboard with a grim face, as if he was not to be messed with. She whispered to him, ¡°This is specially made for you, so drink it while it¡¯s hot. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± Gilbert said nothing. Felicity did not dare to say anything more. After all, his face was more terrifying than the Grim Reaper. She put the chicken soup on the bedside table and brought Davian outside, then closed the door and frowned. ¡°He must have quarreled with Kisa. You didn¡¯t see him drinking yesterday, did you? He gulped one ss after another. He¡¯s horrible and has be a madman after a fight with Kisa. Not only that, he¡¯s also a brooding and scary maniac.¡± Davian gave her a helpless look. ¡°I can¡¯t help it. His happiness and sorrow depend on Mrs. Kooper.¡± Felicity shook her head. ¡°It must have been a big fight. Kisa hasn¡¯t even called to ask if he is okay.¡± Davian was pissed. ¡°Sho¡¯s a mean and heartless woman.¡± Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Meanwhile, Kisa was admiring the flowers in the garden outside Vivian¡¯s ce when she suddenly sneezed twice in a row. She rubbed her nose, thinking that Davian must be insulting her behind her back to Gilbert. She and Kelvin quietly switched the teacups when no one was looking. When the maid saw her finish the cup of tea in one go, her eyes lit up with delight. It waste at night in the Mullen residence¡¯s restricted zone. Chapter 1373 Chapter 1373 Chapter 1373 A Born Beauty The grand garden looked magnificent in the hazy moonlight. In the opulent basement, other than the exquisite decor and furnishings, there was also a natural hot spring, where steam from the hot spring imbued the entire basement, turning the ce into a mysterious and otherworldly fairnd. A slender and graceful woman was lounging on a nearby couch, with a thin nket covering half of her body and exposing a pair of gorgeous and slender legs. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Mr. Mullen Sr. got up from the couch, buttoning his shirt as he said, ¡°I heard you went to see that man last night¡± There was a hint of anger in his tone. The woman was not afraid of him and simply replied coquettishly, ¡°Yes. So what?¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. frowned and turned to look at her. She had a chaste face, but her expression and posture were like those of a subus, sexy and seductive. Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s anger vanished when he saw her beautiful body. He softened his attitude and said, ¡°We agreed you wouldn¡¯t go out, didn¡¯t we? It wouldn¡¯t be good if someone saw you.¡± ¡°How long do you n to keep me hidden? Six years isn¡¯t enough?¡± The woman said disapprovingly. ¡°No, darling,¡± Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s attitude instantly softened. He sat on the couch, put his arms around the woman¡¯s white shoulders, and smiled. ¡°Not that I¡¯m hiding you, but when Mr. Tanner gave you to me, he told me not to expose you. You also said that you wanted to hide here. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have made you live in this small basement, right?¡± The woman smiled and wrapped her slender arms around his neck, teasing him gently. ¡°Yes, but that doesn¡¯t mean you have the right to restrict my freedom. So, even if I were to find that man, you have no right to be angry, right?¡± The woman naughtily and slowly undoing the button Mr. Mullen Sr. had just fastened. While doing that, she giggled coquettishly. ¡°I¡¯ve served you for so many years, and you¡¯ve gotten what you want, haven¡¯t you? From now on, you should help me carry out my n.¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. held her soft hand, regretting that he was not several decades younger. If he were, he would have spent every moment with her and not cared about anything else. He looked at her, only wanting to pamper her, so he was angry no more. ¡°Indeed, I have gotten what I wanted these past six years. You are a born beauty. I really don¡¯t know if Gilbert was blind or what-I couldn¡¯t believe he dumped you and instead chose someone as ordinary as Kisa.¡± The woman narrowed her eyes, with a deep sense of dissatisfaction hidden in them. She skillfully caressed Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s chest with her hand and said absently, ¡°Kisa drinks that tea every day now. Probably in another half month, she will be delirious. Heh, since she wants to visit this ce so badly, let here in. This time, I¡¯ll make sure she dies here.¡± Gilbert still did note back that day. Kisa could not sleep at night. She wiped theputer on the low table and sat in a lounge chair, looking out the window in a daze. After a while, she saw Mr. Mullen Sr. appear on the blue stone path in the backyard. From the direction he was walking, it seemed like he wasing from the restricted zone. Kisa could not help but sit up straight and carefully watch Mr. Mullen Sr., who seemed to be energetic and in a good mood. After watching Mr. Mullen Sr. for a while, her gaze involuntarily drifted toward the restricted zone. What¡¯s in there? Why did Mr. Mullen Sr.e out from there in the middle of the night?¡¯ Chapter 1374 Chapter 1374 Chapter 1374 A Man¡¯s Pride at Work Gilbert had previously mentioned to Mr. Mullen Sr. about visiting the ¡®restricted area¡¯. Mr. Mullen Sr. told him he would think about it, but no one knew if he had decided yet. Thinking of Gilbert, Kisa seemed somewhat distracted. Gilbert had not been seen around the Mullen residence for several days, nor had he contacted her through calls or messages. Felicity had called her a few times but did not bring up Gilbert, and neither had Kisa asked. At one time, she thought that Gilbert and Davian had returned to Calthon, which would be good, because she would not have to say anything hurtful to gain Adrien¡¯s trust Half a monthter, Vivian could finally stand up, but still could not walk. The mere act of standing up brought tears of joy to her. Kisa said to her happily, ¡°I believe you¡¯ll be walking soon.¡± Vivian nodded excitedly. Kelvin was leaning in his chair and said with relief, ¡°It¡¯s better than I expected. This way I can heal you as soon as possible and go back to see my Gracie. I¡¯ve been missing her for a month now.¡± Kelvin gazed at the sky and spoke with a dreamy look, as if he was missing Gracie. Kisa shook her head and chuckled. ¡°Men really shouldn¡¯t leave home, or they will end up with lovesickness.¡± As the sun was setting, Kelvin did another thorough check-up on Vivian. Adrien took Kisa to the rock garden. He had been visiting Vivian frequently in the past few days, and today, he even stayed with them the entire afternoon. Adrien leaned against the rock and smoked. Kisa looked at him and asked with puzzlement, ¡°Uncle Adrien, what is wrong? Is something the matter?¡± ¡°I heard Gilbert has returned to Calthon.¡± Kisa froze for a second, then quickly concealed her emotions, pretending to be surprised. ¡°What? He has gone back to Calthon?¡± ¡°He¡¯s been gone for a few days now. Howe he has told you?¡± ¡°No, he hasn¡¯t contacted me since I tried to kill him. I guess he is not interested in pretending in front of me anymore.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think too much.¡± Adrien took a puff of his cigarette and said in a low voice, ¡°First, you go back to Calthon. Trust me, no matter what, you have to stay by his side.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°But he knows I want to kill him. Would he still let me stay by his side?¡± Kisa asked with uncertainty. Adrien kindly patted her head and chuckled. ¡°Yes, trust me. As long as you shamelessly stay by his side, he won¡¯t chase you away.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Kisa asked deliberately. ¡°Because¡­¡± Adrien stared at her puzzled face,ughing, ¡°It is a man¡¯s pride at work. A woman who wants to take revenge on him only ignites his desire for conquest. Didn¡¯t you say that even after you tried to kill him, he still pretended to be deeply in love with you in front of you? That proves that he doesn¡¯t want to end this ¡®conquest game yet. And the day you really fall in love with him and let go of your hatred, that will be his victory day, and the day he tramples on you. Do you understand?¡± Although she knew Adrien was deliberately trying to convince her to hate Gilbert, she felt that there was a bit of truth in what he said. She frowned and nodded, as if she suddenly understood. ¡°I got it.¡± ¡°So, when do you n to go back to Calthon?¡± Adrien stared into her eyes and smiled. ¡°You said before that it was because of your friend that you were here. Now that should havee to an end, right?¡± Chapter 1375 Chapter 1375 Chapter 1375 Leaving Her Behind Kisa faced Adrien¡¯s inquisitive gaze with a calm expression and said seriously, ¡°Let¡¯s wait a few more days. I¡¯ll go back with Kelvin in a few days. Gilbert has only just gone back, and if I go back immediately. he might think Ick attitude and find me unchallenging.¡± Adrien stared at her face for a long while but did not find any ws. After a while, heughed while puffing out rings of smoke. ¡°Okay, what you said makes sense. Let¡¯s wait a few more days.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes flickered, and she said deliberately. ¡°By the way, Uncle Adrien, Gilbert¡¯sptop is still in my room. There may be GK Pictures¡¯s confidential files inside. Shall we sneak a peek at hisputer, see if we can steal some of hispany¡¯s confidential files? It will be a help in our bid to bring down GK Pictures,¡± she suggested, trying to gain Adrien¡¯s trust. But Adrien¡¯s primary goal was not GK Pictures. He would not reveal himself or make a move on GK Pictures before she and Gilbert escted their war to the death. He smirked, ¡°Be patient. Let¡¯s y with him slowly. Sometimes, the process of revenge is more fun than the result, got it?¡± Kisa feigned confusion and looked at him. Adrien patted her on the head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be with you in this process of revenge and make you feel the true thrill of it.¡± He then walked toward the main building as Kelvin arrived. Kisa watched his back with grave eyes. ¡®From Adrien urging me to follow Gilbert back to Calthon, the person who has a hand in the tea should not be Adrien. But besides Adrien, who in this mansion has the motive to harm me?¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. She was at a loss and could only wait for the person to reveal themselves. ¡°Kisa, Gilbert has gone back to Calthon. Aren¡¯t you going back?¡± ¡®It seems everyone knows Gilbert has gone back to Calthon, except for me,¡¯ Kisa thought to herself. Kelvin came over with a confused look on his face. ¡°I¡¯ve been busy these days treating Vivian¡¯s legs. Did ! miss something? Howe Gilbert has been back in Calthon for a few days and you¡¯re still here at the Mullen residence? Why didn¡¯t Gilbert bring you along? This is strange. Aren¡¯t you two like conjoined twins, inseparable?¡± Kelvin muttered to himself. Kisa looked at him with a smile on her face. ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you. I want to go back with you.¡± Kelvin suddenly took two steps back and looked at her cautiously. ¡°What do you want to do? Set me up?¡± His thinking was that if Gilbert heard what Kisa just said, he would be very jealous and take it out on him. He red at Kisa grumblingly. This woman is so evil, always thinking about drawing a wedge between Gilbert and I.¡¯ Kisa looked at his guarded look andughed. ¡°Didn¡¯t Gilbert just leave me behind? I don¡¯t want to go back alone, so I¡¯ll just wait for you to go back with you. Besides, here at the Mullen residence, I can bask in your reflected glory and enjoy good food and drinks.¡± With that, she turned and walked toward the main building Kelvin caught up with her. ¡°Why did Gilbert suddenly leave you?¡± ¡°We had a fight¡± ¡°Wow, how big of a fight did you guys have that this crazy guy left you behind alone here at the Mullen residence?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there still you? Aren¡¯t you here?¡± Kelvin was speechless. During dinner, Mr. Mullen Sr. suddenly announced something big at the dinner table. Chapter 1376 Chapter 1376 Chapter 1376 Visiting the Restricted Zone ¡°Who among you wants to visit that restricted zone tomorrow? You can alle with me,¡± announced Mr. Mullen Sr. As his words echoed through the silent dining room, everyone present stared at him, wide-eyed. The people who were having their meals all stopped. Some people were so shocked that they forgot to chew the food in their mouth. Only Mr. Mullen Sr. was still eating calmly. Kisa broke the silence and said, ¡°Can I join you tomorrow as an outsider?¡± Kelvin was also curious about the restricted zone, but hecked the courage to explore it himself. The last time he tried, the fearsome guards scared him off. Mr. Mullen Sr. nced at them with a faint smile. ¡°Since I brought this up at the dinner and you all heard it, it¡¯s only fair that you get to join as well.¡± Kisa and Kelvin exchanged excited nces. Mr. Mullen Sr. looked around the table and continued. ¡°Since none of you seem interested, I will only invite Mrs. Kooper and Dr. Hoover tomorrow.¡± ¡°Me, me, me¡­¡± ¡°Dad, I also want to visit.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, and me too.¡± ¡°And me too, Dad.¡± Suddenly, Mr. Mullen Sr¡¯s son, daughter-inw, and Arthur raised their hands, along with Mrs. Mullen Sr. and Jane. The only exception was his eldest son, who seemed uninterested and continued to have his meal in silence. Looking at these people, Kisa suddenly thought of a question. She realized she had not seen Anthony in many days. A couple of days ago, she heard some maids discussing in a corner that, since the Reyes. family lost, Anthony had been staying at Lea¡¯s tomb. When she heard those discussions, except for regret, she could not think of any other words to describe it. The tragedy between Lea and Anthony really had a big impact on her. Lea and Anthony could have been happy together, but because Anthony never expressed his feelings to Lea, she always thought he hated her and was disgusted with her, which led to this tragedy. Kisa decided that after she was done with Adrien, she would confess her love for Gilbert face-to-face. She wanted no more misunderstandings between them; she did not want her and Gilbert to end up like Lea and Anthony, regretful for life. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Since Mr. Mullen Sr. said they could visit the restricted zone, the entire Mullen family had been in excitement, which showed they were curious about the restricted zone, but because of Mr. Mullen Sr., no one dared to bring it up. But it puzzled Kisa that Mr. Mullen Sr. suddenly agreed to take them in for a visit. ¡®Could it be because of Gilbert¡¯s request?¡± Just as she was thinking this, Arthur suddenly ran over. ¡°Youngdy, thanks to you we all can go inside for a visit,¡± Arthur said. Kisa shook her head andughed. ¡°How can it be because of me? I¡¯m an outsider, and I should thank you guys for the opportunity.¡± Arthur shook his head. ¡°I have a feeling that Grandpa only agreed to let us go inside because you¡¯re here, so we have you to thank. After all, Grandpa has never mentioned going inside for a visit in the past six years.¡± Chapter 1377 Chapter 1377 Chapter 1377 She Will Protect Him Kisa was startled. She felt that what Arthur said made sense. Is it possible that Mr. Mullen Sr. deliberately let me visit the restricted zone? Is he bringing the other members of the Mullen family to visit because he wants to eliminate her suspicion? If he really intends for me to visit the restricted zone, then there must be something rted to me in that ce.¡± Just as she was thinking so, Arthur suddenly called out, ¡°Uncle Anthony!¡± Kisa instinctively turned her head and saw Anthony walking in through the side door. Having not seen him for several days, she felt he had lost a lot of weight and looked depressed. He did not respond, even though Arthur had called him twice. Arthur went straight up to him and asked, ¡°Uncle Anthony, Grandpa is going to take us to his restricted zone tomorrow for a visit. Are you going along?¡± Anthony subconsciously looked at Kisa. He said nothing, and there was no expression on his face. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and entered the house expressionlessly from the side door. Arthur pouted, muttering to himself, ¡°Uncle Anthony has been weirdtely. He always ignores me.¡± Kisa stared absentmindedly at the side door. ¡®It seems that Anthony really loves Lea.¡¯ With this, her regret became increasingly intense. In the evening. Kisa took out her phone and opened the chat window she had with Gilbert. She wanted to tell him that Mr. Mullen Sr. had finally agreed to take them visiting the restricted zone. But after composing the message, she ended up deleting it and leaning back on the chair and sighed silently. At that moment, she really wanted to cuddle with him, to discuss with him tomorrow¡¯s n to visit the restricted zone, and to discuss together how to handle Adrien. But she could not take risks. If she and Gilbert shed with Adrien head-on, and even if she could weed out Adrien, she could still not find out the real purpose of Adrien or the person behind him who controlled everything. For them, the danger remained. So, she decided to carry all the difficulties and emotions herself. This time, she would bear all the burden and protect him. ¡°Kisa, Kisa¡­ Kisa was leaning back in her chair, thinking, when Kelvin suddenly called her from outside the door. She got up to open the door for him. As the door opened, Kelvin ran in excitedly. ¡°What are you doing, staying upte at night?¡± Kisa stared at him in puzzlement. Kelvin giggled. ¡°It is not just me who can¡¯t sleep. The entire Mullen family is so excited about visiting the restricted zone tomorrow that they can¡¯t sleep.¡± ¡°How did you know?¡± Kisa shot him a nce, rolling her eyes. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. ¡°Of course I know,¡± Kelvin replied. ¡°I just took a stroll downstairs and those people who always return to their rooms early are now downstairs discussing the restricted zone visit.¡± Kisa sat back in her chair and said nothing. ¡°Oh, by the way, I wanted to tell you, I talked to Gilbert about tomorrow¡¯s visit.¡± Kelvin quickly added. Kisa¡¯s hand stiffened slightly, and she asked casually, ¡°Oh really? What did he say?¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t say much, just asking me to let him know if there was anything special.¡± Kelvin then frowned in puzzlement. ¡°By the way, why didn¡¯t he mention you? In a situation like this, he should have instructed me to take good care of you. Could it be that he¡¯s still angry?¡± Chapter 1378 Chapter 1378 Chapter 1378 Not Like a Normal Person Kisa kept silent with her lips pursed. She felt she had indeed hurt Gilbert badly this time. Now, she just hoped that he would listen to her exnationter. ¡°Kisa, what¡¯s in the restricted zone?¡± Kelvin suddenly asked her, his eyes full of impatient curiosity. ¡°We¡¯ll find out tomorrow when we go there. Go to sleep now. It will be tomorrow after a good night¡¯s sleep. *Kisa said calmly. Kelvin looked up at the sky and sighed. ¡°I really want to go to the restricted zone now. I bet everyone in the Mullen family will be sleepless tonight.¡± Kisa rolled her eyes. ¡°I think the only one who¡¯ll be sleepless is you. Go back to sleep quickly. I have to sleep too.¡± Kelvin pouted. ¡°I¡¯m bored. It¡¯d be nice if Gilbert was here.¡± He walked out while talking. Kisa¡¯s mood dampened after hearing those words. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°Yeah, how nice it would be if Gilbert was here.¡± She did not sleep well during the night. Perhaps because she had a fight with Gilbert and felt depressed, she had been having bad dreams for the past two days. At times, she dreamed of being on good terms with Gilbert, and at other times quarreling. She had dreamed of him being covered in blood many times. She spent the entire night in between dreams and wakefulness because of the fear and panic in her dreams. The next morning, after waking up, she felt very energetic. But thinking about Mr. Mullen Sr. taking them. to visit the restricted zone, she still mustered up her energy. Arriving downstairs, she found that the Mullen family was already up and waiting in the living room for breakfast. It was rare to see them so enthusiastic and ready, so she wondered if it was because of the restricted-zone visit. Mr. Mullen Sr. was not there, and she did not know if he was still asleep or had gone. to his office. Everyone sitting at the table was discussing the restricted zone, and all faces looked curious and excited. Kisa looked around and did not see Anthony. ¡®It seems that Lea¡¯s departure haspletely drained his willpower. In this case, he probably will not think of creating trouble for me and Gilbert this time.¡± She went to the kitchen to grab some breakfast and headed to the backyard. As soon as she sat down, Kelvin showed up. He looked tired, with dark circles under his eyes. He took a doughnut and a ss of orange juice and started munching on the doughnut. ¡°Where is Mr. Mullen Sr.? He said he would take us to visit the restricted zone,¡± he asked. Kisa shot a quick look at him and chuckled. ¡°Looks like you¡¯re more curious than I am.¡± ¡°Yeah. I can¡¯t wait to see what kind of things Mr. Mullen Sr. keeps in there,¡± Kelvin said, finishing the orange juice in one gulp. Kisa looked at him and a thought came to mind. ¡°What if I hadn¡¯t noticed the problem with the tea and kept drinking it every day? What would I look like now?¡± she asked. ¡°You would look haggard. First, you would look tired and worn out,¡± Kelvin said, giving her a quick nce.¡± But, to be honest, you don¡¯t look so good right now, either.¡± Kisa could not argue with that. Because of her morning sickness andck of sleep, she did indeed look haggard. ¡°What else?¡± she asked. ¡°You would be paranoid and act strange, not acting like a normal person,¡¯ Kelvin said, looking at her with a puzzled expression. Chapter 1379 Chapter 1379 Chapter 1379 Waiting for Nothing ¡°What¡¯s the deal with you asking this? Weren¡¯t you the one who noticed there was something wrong with the tea and kept asking me to switch it with you? I don¡¯t dare to take a single sip of that tea at Vivian¡¯s ce.¡± ¡°Nothing,¡± Kisa shook her head, lost in thought. The person who¡¯s been trying to harm me is hiding in the shadows. Should I pretend to have those symptoms so I can fool them?¡¯ Kelvin eagerly waited for Mr. Mullen Sr. to take them to visit the restricted zone all morning, but Mr. Mullen Sr. never showed up. The other members of the Mullen family waited, going from being excited to bored. Kelvin leaned back in his chair, constantly yawning. Kisa nced at him. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go take a nap? When Mr. Mullen Sr. shows up and is ready to take us to visit, I¡¯ll wake you up.¡± Kelvin shook his head, thinking, ¡®I already stayed up all night. What¡¯s waiting a little bit longer? Seeing he was so tired but still determined, Kisa said nothing more and continued to look at her phone. By 3.00 pm, Kelvin lost his patience, Frustrated, he propped his head with both hands. ¡°What is Mr. Mullen Sr. trying to pull here? If he doesn¡¯t want to take us to visit the restricted zone, he should just say so. Disappearing like this is ridiculous.¡± He was exhausted and angry. Kisa looked up at the sky; winter days got dark quickly, and in a couple of hours, it would be dark. She did not think Mr. Mullen Sr. would take them to the restricted zone today, so he said to Kelvin, ¡°Why don¡¯t you just go back to your room and get some sleep? It¡¯ll be dark soon. I think Mr. Mullen Sr. must have had other things to take care of today.¡± Kelvin kicked the chair in anger. ¡°What a waste of my time and excitement,¡± he said before storming back into his room. Kisa stretched her neck to peek inside the house. Through the window, she saw that there were still people in the living room, waiting for Mr. Mullen Sr. ¡®This time, Mr. Mullen Sr. has really created some suspense. Look, one restricted zone has aroused the curiosity of so many people, and such a strong curiosity at that.¡± Not long after Kelvin returned to his room, Mr. Mullen Sr. came back from the outside. It was already past four in the afternoon. Kisa thought he would not take them to visit the restricted zone today, so she did not call Kelvin. To her surprise, Mr. Mullen Sr. led everyone to the restricted zone in the backyard. Kisa was sunbathing in the backyard. When she saw this, she quickly followed. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°Where have you been, Mr. Mullen Sr.?¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯re here. I almost forgot about you,¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. said, as if he had just realized of her presence Yesterday, I said I was going to take you to visit the restricted zone, right? Aren¡¯t you going?¡± ¡°No, I just thought that you wouldn¡¯t take us to visit today¡± ¡°Ha ha ha, I had something to do during the day¡± Mr. Mullen Srughed Tve always kept my word. If I said! was going to take you to visit today. I¡¯ll definitely do it¡¯ Kisa nodded vigorously Then I¡¯ll go with you She deliberately followed behind the group. She called Kelvin a few times, but he did not answer a ungle call Kisa thought he was probably sleeping too soundly Oh well its not that I didn¡¯t call rum, it¡¯s just that he couldn¡¯t wake up she sighed Speaking of Kelvin, all she could say about hun was that luck was not on his side After he had been awake all night and waiting all day, and returning to his room, Mr. Mullen Sr came back. A group of more than a dozen people were heading toward the restricted zone. The closer they got the more cautious Kisa became Chapter 1380 Chapter 1380 Chapter 1380 Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained Mr. Mullen Sr. was leading the pack, with the rest of the Mullen family following behind. Kisa was bringing up the rear. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Arthur slowed his pace on purpose to walk alongside Kisa. ¡°Miss, I was right! Gramps just wants you to see the restricted zone. We¡¯re just tagging along because of you,¡± he said with a cheeky grin. Kisa shot him a side-eye. ¡°How do you know that?¡± Arthur nodded seriously. ¡°I heard Gramps ask the maids where you were when he just got back. That¡¯s how I figured it out.¡± Kisa frowned. ¡°Really?¡± she whispered. ¡°Yep, for real. So, I think Gramps invited you for a special visit. But why would he do that for a stranger like you?¡± Arthur scratched his head in confusion. Kisa¡¯s mind was racing. ¡®Why would Mr. Mullen Sr. be so keen on showing me the restricted zone? Is he setting a trap for me? And if so, could he be the one behind the tea poisoning? She tried calling Kelvin a few more times, but he still did not pick up. Kisa scowled as she looked toward the restricted zone up ahead. She could have easilye up with an excuse not to go inside, but nothing ventured, nothing gained; she knew that if she did not find out the mystery in the restricted zone, she would never figure out who was hiding in the shadows and trying to harm her. Kisa followed the group into the arched entrance. She looked around for the bodyguards that Kelvin had mentioned but did not see any. The other visitors were all craning their necks with curiosity. Not a single bodyguard had made an appearance. Maybe it was because the person leading them into the entrance was Mr. Mullen Sr. himself. Dense trees surrounded the entrance, casting a dark and foreboding shadow on the ground. Kisa searched the area around the entrance for any hint of the bodyguards but came up empty. Mr. Mullen Sr. was moving fast, and the Mullen family was not about to fall behind. They were all in a rush to keep up. Kisa quickly took in the sights of the entrance and hastened to catch up with the group. After they entered the archway, they walked for about ten minutes. The area they found themselves in looked no different from the Mullen residence¡¯s back garden, with lush greenery, stone paths, rock formations, and gazebos. If it was not for the fact that they were visiting a restricted zone, Kisa would have thought they were just touring the back garden. The other visitors seemed just as disappointed, having lost their excitement and curiosity from the initial energy they had when they entered the area. Kisa walked quickly, keeping pace with Mr. Mullen Sr. ¡°I¡¯ve heard that this restricted zone of yours is used for taking refuge from the heat, but it looks no different from your back garden to me. And I recall you mentioning something about a treasure being hidden here. Would you be willing to share a glimpse of that treasure with us all?¡± ¡°Any treasures here, Grandpa?¡± Arthur asked curiously, while the rest of the Mullen family watched on in silence. Mrs. Mullen Sr. chuckled, ¡°Treasures? I bet it¡¯s a drop-dead gorgeous woman.¡± Herughter wasced with a hint of sarcasm. But this remark sparked something in Kisa¡¯s mind. ¡®Could it be possible that Sara was hidden away in this restricted zone? It was a daring thought, and Kisa could not help but be shocked at her own imagination. However, upon further reflection, it was not entirely impossible. After all, Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s animosity with Anthony and Gilbert hinted he had been after Sara for a long time. And with Sara missing for so many years, it was within Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s capability to keep her locked away secretly. Chapter 1381 Chapter 1381 Chapter 1381 That Will Be Your Final Resting ce Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Back at Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s birthday celebration, Kisa had caught a glimpse of a woman who looked exactly like Sara from the back. Despite Gilbert¡¯s insistence that the woman was just a friend of Vivian, Kisa knew Vivian did not have any friends. So, she suspected that the woman could be hiding in this restricted zone. While Kisa was deep in thought, Mr. Mullen Sr. chuckled and said, ¡°What¡¯s with all the fuss? Thisnd is vast, and the real special ce is still ahead.¡± He then turned to Mrs. Mullen Sr. and added, ¡°No matter what my treasure is, your status as thedy of the Mullen family will never be shaken.¡± Mrs. Mullen Sr. huffed and said nothing, while Mr. Mullen Sr. continued to lead the group forward, ignoring her. ¡°Wow, how beautiful!¡± someone suddenly cried out. Kisa looked up in surprise and gasped. Before her was an endless garden, exactly like the one in her nightmare. Chills ran down her spine. The Mullen family were all excitedly running into the garden, where they were greeted by a beautiful sight. There was a swing nearby, the ropes that it hung on and even the seat were covered in by vines; it was a beautiful sight. To the right of the swing was a lounge chair with an umbre, and in front of it was a pool, steaming like a hot spring. The surrounding flowers bloomed brightly, making the scene look like a fairy tale. While everyone was admiring the beautiful surroundings, Kisa¡¯s back was already damp with sweat. She looked up at the sky, where the sun was setting and the warm, golden light of dusk was shining down on the garden. ¡®But once it gets dark, will the cold moon in my nightmare take its ce? And what about that scary woman¡¯s silhouette? How could this ce look so much like my nightmare? This can¡¯t be a coincidence!¡¯ She clutched her head, trying to understand what was going on. Even if the problematic tea had taken effect, she should not have just happened to dream of this scene. The inexplicable coincidence was freaking her out. Suddenly, she remembered the first morning after her stay at the Mullen residence. On that morning, she heard a chillingughter. ¡°You will see a beautiful garden, a moon with a chilly curve, and¡­ the frightening silhouette of a woman¡­ hahaha¡­ that woman is you, and that will be your final resting ce. Hahaha¡­¡± ¡®That¡¯s it! At the time, I felt like I was being held down by a force and couldn¡¯t wake up. Then I felt like there was a woman standing beside my bed, and that woman wasughing coldly at me. And I had forgotten; those chillingughs had mixed in with these terrifying words. Now,e to think of it, when I first came, I was already poisoned, eating something that had been tampered with. And under the influence of the drug, I was hypnotized. Because of that, every time I drank the spiked tea, my mind would y the scene of terror described by that woman habitually. And that scene of terror was just like what I¡¯m seeing right now. And this restricted zone belongs to Mr. Mullen Sr, so it looks like the person who spiked the tea was Mr. Mullen Sr!¡± Chapter 1382 Chapter 1382 Chapter 1382 Possessed ¡®Who was the woman with the cold, sinisterughter haunting me by the bedside, putting me into a hypnotic trance? It was Sara, wasn¡¯t it? If it is Mr. Mullen Sr., he has no reason to harm me. But if Sara is working with him, then who knows what¡¯s really going on? Maybe Sara asked Mr. Mullen Sr. to poison me with the tea, and to bring me to this creepy, restricted zone. And now, it seems like there are traps everywhere, all set up to get me.¡± Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. As she thought about it more, fear began to grip her. She could not help but steal a nce at Mr. Mullen Sr., but his expression was as serious as ever. A shiver ran down her spine. Suddenly, she clutched her head and pretended to go mad, running wildly toward the garden. ¡°Aah¡­ aah, a ghost! There¡¯s a ghost!¡± Because of her scream, the Mullen family were all stunned, staring at her with confusion. Only Mr. Mullen Sr. remained calm, steadily observing her. This only solidified Kisa¡¯s suspicion that the tea was Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s doing, so she had to keep up the charade and make sure Mr. Mullen Sr. did not see through her. She wanted to find out what exactly he was trying to pull by bringing her to this restricted zone. ¡°Aah¡­ A ghost! A woman with long hair. It¡¯s a ghost! Aah!¡± Kisa screamed at the top of her lungs, running amok in the garden. The people from the Mullen family finally came to their senses with Mrs. Mullen Sr. shouting out in rm,¡± Quick, someone catch her! What¡¯s going on here?¡± Jane was also stunned, standing still as she held Mrs. Mullen Sr. Arthur and the second and third sons of Mr. Mullen Sr. rushed over to catch Kisa. But Kisa was like going mad, wildly running around the garden. One moment she was pointing at Mrs. Mullen Sr., the next at the second and third sons of Mr. Mullen Sr, and then at their wives. She alternated betweenughing and crying in a manic and frightened state, shouting, ¡°Look, there is a woman behind you all with long hair and a white dress!¡± Kisa was acting bizarrely, with her eyes wide and a pale face filled with fear. The Mullen family was so frightened that they felt goosebumps all over. Mrs. Mullen Sr. frowned and said, ¡°This must be some kind of supernatural possession. We need to grab her quickly and take her to see Dr. Hoover. We can¡¯t let anything happen to her here, or we¡¯ll have some exining to do to Mr. Kooper.¡± But no one dared to approach Kisa. Even the two Mullen brothers kept their distance, standing a meter away from her because her expression was truly terrifying, almost as if she had seen a ghost. The men did not dare to get near her, let alone their wives. Only Arthur had the courage to tug on her. Suddenly, Albert¡¯s wife yelled at Arthur, telling him not to approach Kisa. But Arthur ignored her and, with a determined grip, pulled at Kisa¡¯s arm and frantically asked, ¡°Miss, what¡¯s wrong? Did you see something? Don¡¯t be afraid, we¡¯re all here. Take your time and tell us.¡± ¡°Shh!¡± Kisa suddenly made a shushing motion and let out a mysterious, creepyugh. ¡°Do you hear that? Someone¡¯sughing it is a woman¡¯s voice. It¡¯s sharp no, wait, she¡¯s crying. Oh, how sad! She¡¯s crying so miserably.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Carrie could not take it anymore and interrupted Kisa¡¯s rambling, grumpily comining.¡± You¡¯re ruining such a beautiful scene with your craziness. What¡¯s with the sudden outburst?¡± Just as she finished speaking, Kisa abruptly turned to look in her direction and her eyes widened Chapter 1383 Chapter 1383 Chapter 1383 Mysterious Basement Carrie, taken aback by Kisa¡¯s intense gaze, yelled out in anger, ¡°What the hell is with the creepy stare? Are you trying to give me a heart attack or something?¡± ¡°Shh, she¡¯s right behind you¡­ long hair, no face, she is¡­ right there¡­ behind you,¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes widened with fear, her expression so genuine it was almost as if she had actually seen a ghost. Carrie shuddered in fear, her scalp tingled with terror. ¡°Aah¡­¡± she cried out, quickly scurrying behind Leon, pointing at Kisa and shouting, ¡°You scared the crap out of me! What¡¯s wrong with you? This is the Mullen family, a respected household. We don¡¯t tolerate such childish pranks!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not lying. I really saw her,¡± Kisa replied, her voice sincere. Suddenly, she pointed at the sky. ¡°Look, it is the moon! The cold, icy moon.¡± Everyone looked up, but instead of the moon, they saw the setting sun. Mrs. Mullen Sr. quickly looked to Mr. Mullen Sr. ¡°What do we do now?¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. remained cool and collected, offering a reassuring smile. ¡°I think Mrs. Kooper hasn¡¯t been getting enough resttely. She¡¯s just experiencing hallucinations.¡± ¡°Grandpa, let¡¯s take Miss out and have Dr. Hoover check her out. If anything happens to her, we will have a hard time exining to the Kooper family.¡± ¡°Hmph, if it is hard to exin, then so be it. The Mullen family isn¡¯t afraid of the Kooper family, are we?¡± Leon snorted in disdain. Jaqueline chimed in, ¡°It is not quite that simple. Because of David¡¯s deception, our family¡¯s standing has already taken a significant hit. If we cause trouble with the Kooper family again, we risk bing even weaker, leaving the door open for our enemies to strike. That¡¯s not a risk we can afford to take.¡± Isaac sneered, ¡°Is Jaquelineining that Vivian trusted the wrong person in the past?¡± Jaqueline tried to exin, ¡°No, that¡¯s not what I meant-¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. cut her off. He turned to Leon and Isaac. ¡°Take Mrs. Kooper and hold her for now. It seems like she is having some hallucinations. The entrance to the basement is close by. Take her down there to rest. Maybe a good nap will do the trick.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we take her out to see Dr. Hoover instead?¡¯ Mrs. Mullen Sr. suggested with a frown. ¡°It¡¯s getting dark, and it¡¯ll take us half the day to get out.¡± But some folks were unhappy and startedining. ¡°Hey, after all these years, we finally have the chance toe inside and take a look, and this woman just ruined it all. It¡¯s such a bummer.¡± ¡°I mean, you all say Mr. Kooper is such a talented and wealthy man. How could he end up marrying such at crazy woman?¡± ¡°Exactly, who knows, maybe this isn¡¯t even the first time she has had a meltdown. Maybe she is prone to it all the time.¡± ¡°Hey, Mr. Kooper hasn¡¯t shown up in a while now. Do you think he doesn¡¯t want her as a wife anymore?¡± The Mullen family¡¯s grumbling turned into gossip and sarcasticments. Kisa listened silently, but her eyes subtly searched for the entrance to the basement. Just then, Mr. Mullen Sr interrupted their discussion and barked at Leon and Isaac, who were standing motionless in front of Kisa, ¡°What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take her to the basement to restMaterial ? of N?velDrama.Org. Basement? Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Why is Mr. Mulien Sr so determined to take me to the basement? Could the trap be there? After all, in my state of madness, it would be better to go out as Mrs. Mullen Sr. suggested and let Kelvin take a look at me.¡± Kisa clenched her fists, feeling a bit worried. Chapter 1384 Chapter 1384 Chapter 1384 Like a Fairy Among the Blooms If Kisa wanted to unravel the mysteries within this restricted zone. This was her one and only shot, so she could not afford to back down. The entire Mullen family is here, and Mr. Mullen Sr. wouldn¡¯t dare to take my life, would he? If I were to meet my end at the hands of the Mullen residence, they wouldn¡¯t be able to escape the consequences. Surely, Mr. Mullen Sr. isn¡¯t that foolish.¡± While she was in thoughts, Leon and Isaac appeared out of nowhere and mped down on her arms, one on the left and one on the right. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Kisa pretended to struggle frantically. ¡°No, don¡¯t touch me¡­ Oh my, that woman is here! She is here! Let go of me, quick!¡± Leon flustered and called out to Mr. Mullen Sr., ¡°Dad, I think she is possessed. Let¡¯s call a doctor to take a look!¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. leaned on his cane, his expression calm. ¡°From the looks of her, she hasn¡¯t even left this ce yet, and she is already going crazy. Thisnd is vast, and the terrain isplex. If she were to run away, I wouldn¡¯t know how to exin it to Mr. Kooper. It is best to take her to the basement first and I will have the bodyguard bring Dr. Hoover to examine her.¡± Mrs. Mullen Sr. nodded in agreement. ¡°That sounds like a good n. Let¡¯s take her to the basement before she gets lost.¡± With that, Leon and Isaac forcibly dragged Kisa toward the basement. Despite her panicked struggles, it was no use. Arthur was feeling frantic. ¡°Grandpa, should we inform the Kooper family? I think Miss¡¯s condition doesn¡¯t look too good.¡± ¡°Hmmm¡­ I¡¯ve already notified Mr. Kooper,¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. said nonchntly, but a hint of sinisterness flickered in his eyes. The rest of the Mullen family was also curious about the basement, so they all headed there. The basement door was hidden in the garden, only a meter tall, and hard to spot if one was not paying attention. The white iron door had pretty floral imprints and was locked with a password. As Mr. Mullen Sr. entered the password, he did not even try to hide it from the rest of the family and opened the door right in front of them. When the door opened, they saw a stunning spiral staircase that was well lit, as if the lights were always on. Everyone had to bend down to get through the door. ¡°Grandpa, what¡¯s in there?¡± Arthur asked, eagerly following his grandfather while Leon and Isaac held back Kisa. The rest of the Mullen family trailed behind. Mr. Mullen Sr. chuckled and said to Arthur with a twinkle in his eye, ¡°Go take a look and you will see. Down here, I¡¯ve got nothing but treasures!¡± ¡°Treasures, huh? Can I pick out something I like?¡± Arthur asked excitedly. ¡°Of course you can!¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. replied. Kisa snuck a few nces around her as they descended the spiral staircase. The staircase was so long. that all she could see were the stairs themselves, and nothing else was visible. The staircase was decorated with beautiful, sparkling lights that made it a stunning sight to behold. When the Mullen family finally reached the basement, they werepletely awestruck. Their mansion was already considered luxurious, but the basement was like a pce, taking luxury to the extreme Just as the entire Mullen family had made it down to the basement, a figure in white appeared in the garden The woman was dressed in a snow-white gown and had jet-ck hair that flowed like ink. She stood in the garden like a fairy among the blooms. But as she gazed at the basement entrance, a vicious smile slowly spread across her crimson lips. Chapter 1385 Chapter 1385 Chapter 1385 Contraption In the basement, the Mullen family was all shocked. ¡®This isn¡¯t just any basement, it¡¯s a pce! they all thought. ¡°What a waste that such a beautiful ce isn¡¯t used for living in,¡± Carrie said regretfully. Mr. Mullen Sr. chuckled. ¡°Who says no one lives here? I stay here asionally.¡± Carrie opened her mouth to voice her thoughts, but she hesitated. She wanted to say that as members of the Mullen family, they should all live in such a wonderful ce together, instead of Mr. Mullen Sr. living here alone, only asionally, wasting all this space. She nced at the other members of the Mullen family, who were all gazing in amazement and regret, but no one dared to speak up about wanting to live here. While Mr. Mullen Sr. was not looking, Kisa quickly surveyed the area. The basement was huge. From the staircase, there was a massive hall, decorated in luxurious European style, withplete sets of furniture. The walls were adorned with famous paintings from around the world. Expensive rugs covered the floor, and crystal chandeliers filled the roof, illuminating the hall like daylight. There were three arches leading in different directions, each leading to a whole new world. Kisa took a quick look, not wanting to be too obvious Although the sight beyond the three arches was obscured, the vastness of the area was palpable. The corners of the hall were dotted with small stone tables, each one showcasing an array of glittering jewels. The women could not help but flock to the tables to admire the stunning pieces. Arthur cast a nce around and his attention was immediately drawn to the paintings adorning the walls. With sparkling eyes, he asked, ¡°Grandpa, those paintings are simply breath-taking! Can I choose one as a keepsake?¡± ¡°Of course, my boy!¡± beamed Mr. Mullen Sr. ¡°Thank you so much, Grandpa!¡± Arthur eximed with delight. His words opened the floodgates and the women eagerly rushed over to inquire about the jewelry. Mr. Mullen Sr., in a generous mood, allowed them to pick and choose to their hearts¡¯ content. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Kisa quickly took stock of the jewels on offer and was impressed to see that many of them were rare and limited-edition pieces, including a particrly valuable cat¡¯s eye stone. As the women marveled at the jewelry, the men could not help but look around in fascination. Joe Mullen, Mrs. Mullen Sr¡¯s fourth son, was just about to wander toward an arch when Mr. Mullen St. called him back. ¡°Let¡¯s stick to the hall, shall we? Beyond the arches lies a maze of mechanisms, and I wouldn¡¯t want any of you to get hurt if you happen to trigger one.¡± Joe shuddered and quickly stepped back, his eyes wide with fear. He cautiously asked, ¡°Dad, what¡¯s with the contraption? What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Oh, I had it set up for fun. Just for a bit of excitement, Mr. Mullen Sr. nonchntly replied, lounging on the couch and twirling his cane. Joe was speechless but dared not to say anything more. Kisa¡¯s gaze was dark and brooding. She did not believe there was any kind of contraption. Instead, she thought that those arches were set up as traps for her. After Mr. Mullen Sr. warned Joe, no one else in the Mullen family dared to think about venturing beyond the archways again. Leon asked, ¡°Dad, what are we going to do with that crazy woman? Where do we dump her?¡± ¡°Throw her into the first room on the right-hand side of the archway,¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. took a drag from his cigarette and said with a smirk. ¡°Remember to close the door when you¡¯re done, so she doesn¡¯t escape. Dr. Hoover should be here soon.¡± Chapter 1386 Chapter 1386 Chapter 1386 A Wastnd With No Light of Days As Leon and Isaac heard about the mysterious mechanism that Mr. Mullen Sr. had just mentioned, their eyes widened in hesitation. Isaac chimed in. ¡°The contraptions on the other side of that archway¡­¡± ¡°Listen up boys,¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. warned, ¡°as long as you don¡¯t act like wild monkeys, those contraptions won¡¯t even know you¡¯re there. So, after you tuck Mrs. Kooper in for a little nap, you¡¯d better not go snooping around out of curiosity.¡± Leon and Isaac eagerly nodded their heads in agreement and took Kisa toward the right archway. Kisa pretended to resist. ¡°What are you doing? Where are you taking me? Let go of me¡­ Let go! Ahh! There is a ghost inside. I won¡¯t go in¡­ I don¡¯t want to go in, ahhh!¡± Kisa shrieked and struggled vehemently at the entrance of the right archway. The basement was deep, and the ceiling was tall. Kisa¡¯s scream echoed in the grand hall and the echoes were even more haunting. The women were on edge, picking up anything of value as they prepared to make a run for it. The basement wasvishly decorated with jewels, but they still could not shake the feeling of unease. Wandering around the grand hall was one thing but venturing to the other side of the archways was out of the question, so they thought they had better head upstairs and admire the flowers instead. Arthur felt like there was nothing fun to do and grabbed his painting, heading up. As soon as he left, the women who picked the gems also followed suit. Mrs. Mullen Sr. looked around and, with a sarcastic smile, said to Mr. Mullen Sr., ¡°You built such a beautiful ce, but you don¡¯t let your family live here. People who don¡¯t know any better might think you¡¯re hiding a mistress here.¡± It seems like Mrs. Mullen Sr. also suspects that Mr. Mullen Sr. is hiding a woman here,¡¯ Kisa thought to herself. Mr. Mullen Sr. was nomittal and, with a faint smile, said to Mrs. Mullen Sr., ¡°If you want to live in the basement, you can. After all, it¡¯s big enough and you don¡¯t have to specte anymore.¡± ¡°Hmph! Like I really fancy living here. Even if this ce is as luxurious and beautiful as it can be, it is still a wastnd that can¡¯t see the light of day!¡± Mrs. Mullen Sr. said contemptuously, then walked up the stairs with Amy¡¯s help. Mr. Mullen Sr. did not get angry, just signaled for Leon and Isaac to quickly take Kisa to her room to rest. Kisa put up a half-hearted struggle, but the two men from the Mullen family eventually managed to drag her to the right archway. As they passed through, they were greeted by a courtyard-like path made of cobblestones and surrounded by colorful flowers and greenery. There was a big tree and a hot spring pool next to it. The only thing missing was a view of the sky, as a dazzling crystal chandelier took its ce. The crystal lights shimmered and reflected on the cobblestone path. Further down the path were several rooms with apletely distinct style from the grand hall. If the hall was opulent in the European style, then these rooms were in the ssical Chinese style. The rooms were lined up in a row, and it seemed like there wasnd behind them, but Leon and Isaac were wary of the contraptions and did not dare to go any further. They held Kisa in check and were about to follow Mr Mullen Sr.¡¯s orders and lock her up in the first room. Suddenly, Isaac turned to Leon and asked, ¡°Hey bro, Dad built a house down here that¡¯s even more luxurious than the one we live in upstairs. What¡¯s that all about?¡± ¡°Who knows? Plus, Dad seems to really like this ce andes here often,¡± replied Leon. ¡°That makes little sense. It¡¯s so big and empty. Living here all by himself would be boring. Unless he¡¯s hiding a bunch of beauties, Isaac said with a mischievous glint in his eye as he craned his neck and looked around, trying to spot a beauty¡¯ ¡°You won¡¯t find any beauties even if they are kept here. This ce is full of contraptions, and we can¡¯t just wander around,¡± grumbled Leon. ¡°Who cares about contraptions?¡± Isaac smirked, his gaze settling on Kisa.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Chapter 1387 Chapter 1387 Chapter 1387 Using Her as a Test Subject Leon looked at his sly smirk at the corner of his lips and then at Kisa. With a curious expression, he asked, ¡°Bro, are you trying to get this crazy woman to test those contraptions?¡± ¡°Hey, bro, I have to ask, aren¡¯t you curious about this ce?¡± Isaac asked with a look on his face that showed he understood Leon very well. Leon scratched his head. ¡°I¡¯m curious, after all, this ce is so big, and the construction¡¯s so strange. Dad¡¯s been hiding this ce for six years, so there must be some secret. It¡¯s just not good to let this crazy woman test the contraptions. What if something really happens? How will we exin it to Dad? And Mr. Kooper from Calthon is not someone to mess with.¡± ¡°What are you afraid of? She¡¯s a nutcase We¡¯ll just say she broke free from her restraint and then ran around, triggering the contraptions. Besides, she¡¯s probably had sudden fits of madness like this before. Mr. Kooper must be aware of her condition. So, if she triggers the contraptions while in a fit of madness, we can still exin it away.¡± Leon was still hesitating. Isaac continued to egg him on. ¡°Think about it; crazy people usually have a lot of strength. We just need to hold back a bit, and she will be able to break free. So, it won¡¯t be intentional, we just identally let this crazy woman break free. What do you say?¡± With that, he gave Leon a sinister and wicked smile. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Kisa shot Isaac a cold and disdainful nce, thinking, ¡®This guy¡¯s heart is even more venomous than Anthony.¡¯ Leon was torn for a while but eventually gave in to his curiosity about the basement. He nodded hesitantly. ¡°Yeah, she suddenly became overwhelmingly powerful and escaped on her own. We didn¡¯t intentionally let her go,¡± he said, sharing a sinister smile with Isaac. As they both chuckled, they let go of Kisa¡¯s arms. They expected her to frantically run around like a madwoman. But to their surprise, she simply stood there, staring at them with a creepy gaze. This made Leon uneasy, and he barked, ¡°What are you staring at? I¡¯ll gouge your eyes out if you don¡¯t stop!¡± Kisa let out a sinisterugh. In a creepy voice, she replied, ¡°No need for that. Her eyes are already gone. Look behind you¡­ ck holes with creepy crawlies inside.¡± Pointing at Leon¡¯s back, she continued. ¡°She¡¯s right behind you. Can you feel it? Her dark lips are almost touching your ear now.¡± Kisa¡¯s description was so vivid, Leon could feel a cool breeze blowing by his ears, causing goosebumps to run up his spine. He quickly scooted over to Isaac¡¯s side. ¡°Let¡¯s not be curious anymore and get out of here. This ce is seriously creepy,¡± Isaac said, a bit frightened. Especially Kisa¡¯s eyes, which were so big they were almost unbearable to look at. They made one feel anxious and scared without reason. But Isaac could not help but hesitate. ¡®We¡¯vee down here after so much effort, and if we don¡¯t look around, I¡¯ll feel disappointed. After this trip, who knows when we¡¯ll get the chance toe back?¡¯ He gritted his teeth and shouted at Kisa, ¡°Stop messing around here and go check out what¡¯s behind those rooms.¡± He pushed Kisa toward the haliway near the rooms. The rooms were lined up in a row, with a pathway made of cobblestones on both sides. Kisa struggled to keep her bnce so as not to fall. Although she did not believe Mr. Mullen Sr. had set up any traps there, she still did not dare to check it out just like this. ¡®Thinking of using me as a test subject for the traps? No way!¡¯ Chapter 1388 Chapter 1388 Chapter 1388 Trapped in a Room Kisa¡¯s eyes lit up at the thought. She ran wild in the garden like a madwoman. ¡°Ahh¡­ Something is after me! Go away¡­ Help me! Help me!¡± she shrieked, pushing Leon and Isaac as she ran past them. At times, she would run to therge tree and hug it, crying andughing in turns. She tilted her head, speaking to the tree, as if it was a person, ¡°How pitiful! Are you hung to your death? What are you doing up there? Come down. Let¡¯s y together,¡± she called out, gesturing toward Leon and Isaac. ¡°And bring them with us. They can y, too.¡± Leon and Isaac exchanged a look, the chill on their spines only getting stronger in the already cold surroundings. ¡®Forget curiosity, staying alive is the priority!¡¯ Leon barked at Isaac. ¡°Let¡¯s just get the crazy woman into the first room and get out of here. I¡¯m outta here!¡± With that, Leon started making his way to the hall. Isaac, seeing Leon leave, knew they could not linger any longer with Kisa bing increasingly demented. He quickly grabbed Leon. ¡°Dad said to bring the woman to the first room together. You can¡¯t leave me here!¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Isaac tugged on Leon, leading him back toward Kisa. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s get her inside and then get the heck out of this ce!¡± The initial curiosity of the two had now turned intoplete terror. ¡®This basement is too darn creepy! No wait! It¡¯s probably being stuck with this crazy woman that¡¯s too darn scary!¡¯ Kisa was not about to be caught so easily. When she heard theming to get her, she took off running. After frantically darting around the garden, she ran into a few rooms. She did not go into the first room, instead, acting all crazy and pushing open each door. When she pushed open the doors, she even took a sneaky look inside, but she found nothing special. At a nce, they seemed just like the guest rooms in the Mullen residence, just more stylishly decorated with unique screens that added an extra touch of charm. When Leon and Isaac finally caught up, she darted into the first room herself. Without a second thought, Leon quickly shut the door. It had a lock. To prevent Kisa from escaping, he quickly locked the door with the brass lock. ¡°Bro, curiosity kills the cat. Let¡¯s not be curious anymore, and get out of here,¡± Leon¡¯s voice echoed with the sound of the lock falling. Kisa panicked. She did not know why Mr. Mullen Sr. wanted to lock her in this room. ¡°Okay, no more curiosity. Let¡¯s hurry up and go report to Dad,¡± Isaac chimed in. Then, the sound of their footsteps gradually faded away. Even though she did not know the reason Mr. Mullen Sr. locked her in here, the crazy y had to go on. She was afraid that there were cameras and Mr. Mullen Sr. was watching her every move. Thinking of this, she ran to the door in terror and started wildly beating the wooden door. ¡°Let me out! Why are you keeping me locked up? Let me out! I don¡¯t want to stay here. It¡¯s so scary. There are ghosts! Let me out! Aah¡­ ¡± Kisa roared, even adding a touch of terror and madness to her scream. Suddenly, footsteps echoed from behind her. Chapter 1389 Chapter 1389 Chapter 1389 Meeting Sara Again Kisa was stiff as a board, her heart skipping a beat. With a determined gleam in her eye, she continued to pound away at the door. ¡°Let me out of here! Come on, open the door already!¡± ¡°Save your breath. You¡¯re not getting out of here.¡± A voice echoed from behind her, one that was hauntingly familiar. It was a woman¡¯s voice, sounding just like Sara. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she cautiously turned around to see who it was. As she faced the screen, she saw the outline of a slender figure. Kisa¡¯s back was pressed tightly against the door, and her eyes were fixed on the shadow, trying to act as if she had gone crazy, faking a scare. Ghost You¡¯re terrifying! Don¡¯te any closer!¡± The shadow twitched, and then a woman slowly emerged from behind the screen. Kisa¡¯s heart was pounding like a drum, but she still managed to keep up the charade, pretending to be scared out of her mind. But as the woman stepped into view, Kisa realized it was Sara. Kisa remembered Sara as a woman who was sweet and innocent on the outside but devious and cunning on the inside. But now, six years had passed, and the woman in front of her looked even more innocent, making Kisa feel like she was seeing apletely different person. The woman was charming and beautiful. No wonder why all the men were drawn to her. The only thing that was strange was how she ended up in Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s ce. Kisa wondered what could have possibly happened six years ago. ¡®Is she hiding here by choice, or is she being threatened by someone?¡¯Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. No matter how much of a storm was brewing inside her, Kisa¡¯s face remained calm andposed. She gawked at the woman in front of her, stuttering, ¡°Ghost¡­ you¡­ you stay back!¡± And with that, she started beating the door like crazy. ¡°Let me out of here¡­ I¡¯m scared! I¡¯m scared!¡± ¡°Chill, babe,¡± Sara cooed with a voice as warm as a summer breeze. But for some reason, Kisa could not shake off the eerie feeling. Sara sauntered over to her, her pale face looking like she had just stepped out of a horror movie. With her white dress, candle in one hand, and a pendant in the other, she looked like a ghost straight out of a Halloween costume. ¡°Come on, step right up. I promise I won¡¯t bite.¡± Sara¡¯s voice sounded as gentle as an angel¡¯s. Kisa was curious about what Sara was up to, so she spun around with a fake look of terror. And just then, a pendant appeared out of thin air, hanging in front of her. Shaped weirdly and the exact same one that Sara had been holding, the pendant swayed back and forth in front of her. Kisa was taken aback. ¡®Is this woman trying to hypnotize me? But wait, I haven¡¯t had that tea for a while now, so the hypnosis probably won¡¯t work on me, will it? But if it doesn¡¯t work, that means I¡¯ll have to y along. Otherwise, I¡¯ll have no way to figure out what this mystery woman is up to.¡¯ Kisa¡¯s gaze followed the pendulum swaying back and forth. As she watched it, her mind remained alert and clear. It looked like the drug did not work, and the hypnosis attempt was a total flop, so Kisa let out a sigh of relief. She had heard that people under hypnosis had ssy stares and unresponsive eyes, so Kisa decided to y along and slow down the movement of her eyes. And just like that, her eyes became still, and she feigned a trance. Sara chuckled. ¡°Follow me.¡± Kisa obediently followed her behind a screen to a soft couch. ¡°Lie down!¡± Sara said. Kisa did as she was told, but her heart was racing with caution. The pendulum still swayed in front of her as Sara began to recite a mantra-like phrase in her ear. Chapter 1390 Chapter 1390 Chapter 1390 You Want Revenge and to Strike Back ¡°The man responsible for putting you behind bars and causing the fire that injured you and imed your child¡¯s life is Gilbert,¡± Sara whispered in Kisa¡¯s ear, her voice filled with hatred. It appeared that even though she went into hiding all those years ago, she had always kept a watchful eye on her. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. ¡°He wants you dead, and he won¡¯t stop until he sees it through. He¡¯s tampered with your food, trying to drive you mad, and he wants to burn you alive once again.¡± Sara continued to repeat these words, trying to instill a deep-seated hatred in Kisa. To give a convincing performance, Kisa purposely put on a dazed and sluggish demeanor and recited along with her. ¡°Gilbert is my enemy. He wants me dead. He wants to burn me. Gilbert is my enemy.¡± Satisfied with Kisa¡¯s reaction, Sara nodded with a vicious glint in her eye. ¡°The man who wille to see youter is Gilbert. He wants to burn you, just like he did in the prison. So, you must strike back. Make him pay for what he¡¯s done to you and your child. You must take him down with you and bury him in a sea of mes. Avenge yourself. Strike back,¡± Sara kept whispering these words into her ear, shoving the candle holder she just held into Kisa¡¯s hands. Kisa was stunned as she heard what Sara said. ¡®She¡¯s malicious, wanting me to burn myself alive. But then, she mentioned that the personing to find meter is Gilbert. What does that mean? Is someone reallying for me? Could it be Gilbert? No, that can¡¯t be right. Sara won¡¯t harm Gilbert. But if it isn¡¯t Gilbert, then who can it be?¡¯ Kisa was baffled but did not dare to think too much, as any expressions on her face might give her away. Sara continued to recite the words in Kisa¡¯s ear, emphasizing her hatred for Gilbert and tempting her to end her life alongside him. Kisa repeated every word to make herself seem fully hypnotized. Her eyes were nk, and she repeated everything like a mindless doll. Sara smirked and walked toward the bathroom in the back of the room. Kisa heard Sara making a phone call from inside the bathroom. ¡°All set. Let hime. Hurry, I¡¯m afraid the hypnotic effect will wear off.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart sank. ¡®Who are they bringing in?¡¯ She tightly gripped the candle holder in her hand, a flicker of fear crossing her mind. Fortunately, she had already figured out the problem with the tea. Otherwise, she might really have been hypnotized by Sara. If she had lost control of her consciousness and beenpletely controlled by Sara, the consequences would be unimaginable. The room was silent. Kisay still on the couch, too afraid to move, because she could see Sara leaning against the bathroom door observing her. Her hands were resting on either side of her body, and her right hand held the candlestick. The dripping wax from the burning candle was hot on the back of her hand and the webbing, but she held it with no reaction. Suddenly, the sparks from the burning wick of the candle fell onto the couch. The couch was covered in genuine fur, which was highly mmable. As soon as the sparksnded on the couch, several strands of fur caught fire. Kisa was shocked. Chapter 1391 Chapter 1391 Chapter 1391 Family Reunion Kisa felt a burning pain next to her fingers, but she did not dare to move. Sara would know that she was only pretending to be hypnotized. The sparks and mes became more and more intense, and they were about to spread to her body. Anxiety filled Kisa¡¯s heart. ¡®Oh God. What should I do? she thought. ¡°If I move out of the way right now, Sara will definitely be able to tell that I was faking it, and then I¡¯ll never be able to get out of this basement. This is her and Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s territory, after all. Then again, I¡¯ll have to get up and roll on the ground if I catch on fire. What should I do? What should I do?¡± Kisa could faintly feel the fire catching onto the corner of her clothes, emitting a terrible smell. ¡®My whole body will be on fire at this rate.¡± She was about to jump up from the couch when suddenly, a bucket of cold water poured all over her. The water extinguished the fire in an instant. Sara stood aside with the bucket in her hand and sneered, ¡°Although you are destined to be burned to death, this is not the time. I need to have a witness to prove that it was suicide.¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­ Hahaha¡­¡± Sara began to let out a wildugh after saying that. Herughter was eerie. Kisa¡¯s eyes were wide open as she stayed still, like the living dead. The candle me had been put out. Sara went to light another and stuffed it into Kisa¡¯s hand once more. She dangled the pendant in front of her for a long time and whispered, ¡°Gilbert ising. He¡¯sing to burn you. Your kid is still waiting for both of you downstairs. Take Gilbert down and have a family reunion. Burn him. Set that heartless man on fire. Burn him to death¡­¡± ¡°Burn him¡­ Burn him¡­¡± Kisa murmured. Back outside, Kelvin followed a bodyguard to the garden in the restricted zone. It was getting dark, and there were no street lights there. Kelvin was nervous. He had always felt something strange going on in the Mullen residence, especially the area he was entering. The ce was even scarier now that no light was shining through it. Kelvin looked around the area frantically, but there was nobody in sight. A gust of cool wind blew and sent a chill down his spine. Kelvin rubbed his hands together and asked the guard tensely. ¡°Where are they? Aren¡¯t they supposed to be visiting this ce? Why is no one here?¡± Kelvin had been asleep earlier when someone knocked on his door. It was a bodyguard. The bodyguard had told him that Mr. Mullen Sr. had requested his presence at the restricted area and that all of them. including Kisa, were there. As soon as Kelvin heard that, he had quickly grabbed his phone to call her. Unexpectedly, he saw several missed calls from Kisa upon turning on his phone screen. Kelvin had tried to call Kisa back, but she did not pick up. Maybe she called to ask me to visit the prohibited area,¡¯ he thought. He then got up and left with the bodyguard without second-guessing anything. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. What the hell? I finally reached this ce after a long walk, but no one¡¯s here? What¡¯s there to see in this dark anyway? Kelvin said to himself. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious the invitation seemed He even began to stare at the bodyguard warily. However, the bodyguard said with the utmost respect.¡± Yes, Dr Hoover They¡¯re all here They¡¯re in the basement ¡°The basement? There¡¯s a basement here???¡± Chapter 1392 Chapter 1392 Chapter 1392 Could She Be Pretending? Kelvin was shocked when he heard that there was a basement. ¡°Yes, Dr. Hoover. The basement is the most special thing about this so-called ¡®restricted area¡±,¡± said the bodyguard. All of a sudden, Kelvin became curious. He looked around the restricted area and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s the entrance? Where¡¯s the entrance to the basement?¡± ¡°Follow me, Dr. Hoover, the bodyguard replied as he started to lead Kelvin into the garden. Kelvin stared at him for a few seconds and followed him suspiciously. Ms. Mullen is still counting on me to heal her leg, so they probably won¡¯t do anything to me, right?¡¯ Kelvin became a little more courageous when he thought of that. Not long after, the two arrived at a white door that was 3 feet tall. The door was ajar, but the bodyguard did not go in. Instead, he turned to Kelvin and said, ¡°Dr. Hoover, the basement is right through here.¡± Although a tiny beam of light shone through the gaps, Kelvin was scared to enter. ¡®Who knows what¡¯s down there?¡± he thought to himself. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. The more he looked at it, the scarier it got, especially since they were still surrounded by darkness. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to show me the way? I¡¯m an outsider, I don¡¯t know how to get there. What if I run into Mr. Mullen Sr.?¡± ¡°Sorry, Dr. Hoover. I¡¯m just a bodyguard. I¡¯m not qualified to go into the basement.¡± Kelvin frowned when he heard that, he became even more terrified to go down. He then shook his head and said, ¡°Forget it. This ce is weird. I¡¯m not going in. Tell Mr. Mullen Sr. I appreciate the invitation, but I¡¯m not interested in visiting this special ce of his anymore.¡± Kelvin wanted to leave after finishing speaking, but the bodyguard hurriedly called out to him, ¡°Wait, Dr. Hoover. Mr. Mullen Sr. did not ask you toe see the ce. Rather, it was because something happened to Mrs. Kooper.¡± Kelvin¡¯s heart stopped for a second, and he quickly asked, ¡°What? Something happened to Mrs. Kooper? What happened to her?¡± ¡°She went crazy all of a sudden. It was as if she was possessed by an evil spirit. She¡¯s resting in the basement now. You should go and take a look at her.¡± ¡°Possessed?¡± Kelvin raised his brows thoughtfully. That shouldn¡¯t be possible¡­Hasn¡¯t she stopped drinking that weird tea for a long time now? She hasn¡¯t had any nightmares recently as well. How can she start going crazy now? Could she be pretending to be possessed? But why would she do that? Many thoughts came to Kelvin¡¯s mind at that time. He wanted to call Kisa and ask her about it, but he was afraid he would ruin her n. After some careful thinking, he decided to secretly call Gilbert. Unfortunately, as if Kisa and Gilbert had nned it together, he, too, did not answer Kelvin¡¯s call. In the end, Kelvin had no choice but to text him. [Idk what¡¯s going on with your woman, but something big is going to happen in the Mullen residence tonight if you don¡¯t hear from us after this, remember to take care of Gracie for me] He even added a crying emoji at the end of the message. Once he sent the text, the bodyguard started to urge him, ¡°Quick, Dr Hoover Go down there They¡¯re waiting for you. ¡°Okay, okay. Sheesh, Kelvin snarled and pushed the door open. He stood away from the entrance as if a terrifying beast would burst out the door at any moment. However, to his surprise, behind the door was a bright light. The light was as dazzling as the sun, illuminating their surroundings. It was beautiful. Chapter 1393 Chapter 1393 Chapter 1393 Crazy Woman Kelvin did not have time to take in the beautiful scenery before him. He still had not found out what the Mullen family was doing in the basement. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. ¡®I have to see how Kisa¡¯s doing, he thought Under the dazzling light, Kelvin saw an exquisite spiral staircase behind the door. He tried to be courageous and walked down the stairs one step at a time. It was not until he heard voicesing from below that he rxed a bit Thank god there are people down here.¡± ¡°Why isn¡¯t Dr. Hoover here yet? We can¡¯t all possibly just wait for him here, right?¡± After getting the gems, Carrie wanted to leave the basement as soon as possible. However, it was already dark out when she reached the entrance, and there was not a single light source on therge plot ofnd. Carrie got scared at the thought of having to find her way back on her own, so she decided to stay. But Mr. Mullen Sr. did not allow them to roam around or leave the room. It¡¯s starting to get boring down here, she thought It did not matter how luxurious the decorations were; Carrie was getting tired of staring at the ce. Though, no one else wanted to leave, so she had no choice but to wait. Mrs. Mullen Sr. and Arthur were more worried about Kisa; they kept looking toward the stairs, hoping that Kelvin would show up. Mr. Mullen Sr. was on the sofa smoking a cigarette without a word. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be happy that you were allowed to see this ce?¡± Lydiaughed sarcastically. Carrie gave her a sideways nce but did not argue with her. ¡°Yeah, grandpa Why isn¡¯t Dr. Hoover here yet? He should be here by now. Maybe we should send a bodyguard to take a look,¡± said Arthur. ¡°Arthur is right. Let¡¯s have someone take a look,¡± Mrs. Mullen Sr. added. ¡°She was still yelling a minute ago, but it¡¯spletely silent now. I¡¯m not sure if she¡¯s okay. There¡¯s nothing to be afraid of the Kooper family, but this happened on our grounds. We won¡¯t be able to escape the me if Mr. Kooper asks.¡± The rest of the Mullen family did not speak. Mr. Mullen Sr. blew out some smoke and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll be here soon.¡± Just as he said that, Kelvin appeared. ¡°S-Sorry for the wait,¡± Kelvin said as he looked around the bright hall, there was no sign of Kisa at all. ¡°Where¡¯s Mrs. Kooper?¡± he asked, not caring about the extravagant decor in the basement. ¡°Ah, Dr. Hoover. You¡¯re here. Quick. Go take a look at that crazy woman. She¡¯s gone mad. She kept saying that there were ghosts down here. Go and check on her,¡± Carrie pointed at the arch on the right and said. Seeing that Kelvin was not responding, she added, ¡°Ah, I forgot to mention that the crazy woman I¡¯m talking about is Mrs. Kooper¡± ¡°Crazy?¡± Kelvin looked at Mr. Mullen Sr. and said, ¡°She was fine before this How could she suddenly be deranged? She¡¯s not struggling with anything, as far as I know.¡± Mr Mullen Sr tapped the cigarette to remove the ash and said with a smile. ¡°Are you insinuating that we the Mullen family, drove her insane?¡± Kelvin frowned, his face displeased Mrs Mullen Sr. was still concerned about Vivians leg, so she did not dare to offend Kelvin She quickly smiled at Kelvin and said, ¡°My husband did not mean that, Dr. Hoover. It¡¯s just that Mrs. Kooper went mad as soon as she was here. She ran around and said some disturbing things. We did not know what was going on with her, so we asked one of the guards to invite you to take a look.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not waste any more time. Quick, go and have a look at her. She was yelling all sorts of things. earlier, but there¡¯s no sounding from her now. We have no idea what happened.¡± Chapter 1394 Chapter 1394 Chapter 1394 This Is Where You Die Kelvin became anxious when he heard about Kisa¡¯s erratic behavior. ¡°Where¡¯s she now?¡± he asked. ¡°Didn¡¯t I just tell you she¡¯s over there?¡± Carrie said as she pointed at the archway on the right once more. Then, Kelvin ran over without saying a word. Suddenly, Mr. Mullen Sr. called out to him and said, ¡°Here¡¯s the key. She¡¯s in the first room to the left.¡± Kelvin stared at the key and scowled fiercely. ¡°You locked her up?!¡± he roared. ¡°She was acting crazy. Who would be responsible if she ran away or something?¡± Carrie snorted coldly. ¡°If something happens to her, your family will be responsible.¡± Kelvin then rushed to the archway after saying that. Something flickered in Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s eyes, and he walked over with the help of his cane. Only a few of the Mullens were worried about Kisa, most wanted to see what would happen next, so they got up and tagged along. Kelvin held the key tightly, puzzled. He was sure that Kisa was not going insane since he was clear about her condition. But why did they say that she was possessed? Did she deliberately act crazy on purpose. or did they do something to her?¡± Kelvin stood in front of the door to the first room in doubt. The door was locked, but instead of unlocking it in a hurry, he knocked on the door. ¡°Kisa? Kisa, are you in there? Kisa?¡± There was no answer. Kelvin frowned. He decided to unlock the door. The Mullen family then arrived at the door and stood 3 feet away. Kelvin quickly turned the key and pushed the door open, but no one was in the room. Kelvin was startled. He subconsciously turned around to look at Mr. Mullen Sr. and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say she was in here? Where is she?¡± The Mullens were also in a state of confusion, especially Leon and Isaac; all except for Mr. Mullen Sr. ¡°Yeah, I saw her run in there with my own eyes, and I¡¯m sure I locked the door. There¡¯s no way for her to escape,¡± said Leon. ¡°Well, don¡¯t just stand here. Go in there and look behind the screen,¡± said Isaac. Kelvin was getting suspicious of the Mullens. He was hesitating when suddenly, a voice came behind the screen; it was Kisa¡¯s voice. ¡°I¡¯m over here¡­¡± she said. Kelvin was overjoyed. He quickly walked toward the screen but was startled when he saw whaty behind. He knocked down the screen as he stepped back in horror. All they saw was Kisa standing there, motionless. Her eyes were dull and empty while she held a burning candlestick in her right hand, the me swaying slightly in the air. ¡°W-What¡¯s going on, Kisa?¡± Kelvin swallowed and asked nervously. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Is she actually possessed by a spirit? I mean, it sure does look like it¡­ The Mullens did not dare to approach Kisa when they saw her, but Kelvin walked over and shook her arm. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Kisa?

You are my enemy ¡°I want revenge.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to strike back.¡± In the hall, Sara watched the surveince footage, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. ¡°Hehehe.

He then waved his hand in front of Kisa with suspicion in his heart. Unexpectedly, Kisa pped his hand away in an instant. The woman, whose face was nk and whose eyes were empty earlier, suddenlyughed, ¡°Hahaha¡­ That was good, wasn¡¯t it?¡± Kelvin and everyone in the Mullen family were dumbfounded. Mr. Mullen Sr. narrowed his eyes slightly as a cold light shed through them. ¡°Was she pretending to be crazy all this while? It seems like I¡¯ve underestimated this woman. Sara, who was in the hall, stared at the surveince screen on her phone in disbelief Impossible. How is this possible? I clearly hypnotized her. She didn¡¯t even react when the corner of her clothes caught fire. There¡¯s no way she was faking it. Then again, she¡¯s so clear-minded right now. I can¡¯t believe underestimated that b*tch!!!

She pointed at Kisa and yelled, ¡°You b*tch! How dare you act like that to scare us! ¡°Yeah. What do you have to say for yourself?! We finally got toe and see this ce, yet you did all that to ruin the mood!¡± Lydiained. ¡°That¡¯s right. You acted like you were out of your mind!¡± ¡°Go and get some help! Don¡¯te here and act all crazy!¡± The Mullens started to kick up a fuss and scolded Kisa, but Arthur asked with a puzzled look on his face,¡± Why did you pretend to be insane, Kisa?¡± ¡°Well, I was just practicing my acting skills,¡± Kisa said lightly, making the Mullens even angrier. ¡°Go practice your acting skills somewhere else! Don¡¯t y your silly tricks on us!¡± ¡°Yeah. How dare you y with our honorable family!¡± Kisa ignored them. ¡°Things are not as simple as they seem. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll exin it to you when we get back,¡± she said to Kelvin, and he nodded. ¡®I knew it There was nothing wrong with her, but why did she pretend to be crazy? Kelvin thought ¡®It must have been herst resort¡± Following that, Kisa blew out the candle She had pretended to go insane up till this point because she wanted to see the man Sara was talking about She did not expect it to be Kelvin No wonder she talked about wanting a witness After seeing that the witness was Kelvin, Kisa had roughly guessed Sara¡¯s n. Chapter 1396 Chapter 1396 Chapter 1396 She Shuddered Sara tampered with the tea to hypnotize me. She wanted me to set myself on fire and burn to death, but there was no way people would believe that my sudden death on Mullen grounds resulted from suicide. So, she needed a witness. In this case, the witness was supposed to be Kelvin.¡± Kelvin is a good friend of Gilbert¡¯s; there is no better witness than him. No one would suspect a thing if he were the one to tell them that I killed myself. Even the media would back off from finding fault with the Mullen family, Kisa thought ¡®Her ultimate goal in doing all this was to kill me. Before Kelvin came over, she poured gasoline all over the room and my body. She wanted me to throw the candle on the ground so that this ce and I would catch on fire. If I really had been under her control, I would¡¯ve burned to death.¡± Kisa shuddered at the thought of everything. Fortunately for her, she had noticed a problem with the teal and had not been hypnotized by that woman. Otherwise, Kisa would have mistaken Kelvin for Gilbert and dragged him to death with her. The chances of me catching on fire and dying were certain. But Kelvin would probably be able to escape. That¡¯s why they asked him toe over. They wanted him to witness my death and tell Gilbert about it. Hiss. That woman is definitely more sinister and vicious than Sharon. But¡­ I¡¯m not sure if Gilbert would believe that¡¯ Mr. Mullen Sr. walked over with his cane and said with a half-smile, ¡°My, my What amazing acting skills you have, Mrs. Kooper, GK Pictures would be proud.¡± Kisa knew he was being sarcastic, so she replied, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s high praiseing from you, Mr. Mullen Sr. It was just spur-of-the-moment acting for your entertainment. After all, Mr. Mullen Sr, this restricted area of yours is so mysterious, I wanted to add some horror to make everyone even more interested.¡± The rest of the people in the Mullen family expressed their dissatisfaction with a ¡°Hmph!¡± ¡°To be honest¡­ I think Kisa is on to something,¡± said Arthur. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°Arthur!¡± Jacqueline said and gave him a side eye, signaling him to stop talking. Following that, Arthur pursed his lips and stood aside without a word. ¡°Okay, that¡¯s enough. It¡¯s gettingte. You¡¯ve all seen what you¡¯ve wanted to see. Let¡¯s get out of here now, ¡°Mrs. Mullen Sr. said. Leon was still a little unwilling to leave. He looked at Mr. Mullen Sr. and said with caution, ¡°Dad, we haven¡¯t seen the insides of those two archways yet. Why don¡¯t you take us there since we¡¯re already here?¡± Everyone else stared at Mr. Mullen Sr. expectantly after Leon had said that, but Mr. Mullen Sr. said, ¡°I¡¯m not going to do that. You can go in yourself if you¡¯re not afraid of the traps set up there.¡± Leon was startled upon hearing that. He looked at the two archways, wanting to go in, but he did not have the guts to do so. The rest of the Mullen family were not brave enough to go either. ¡®Traps? Please. That old man is clearly trying to scare them. He just doesn¡¯t want them to find Sara in there, Kisa sneered to herself. ¡®Speaking of which, it¡¯s amazing that no one knew Sara was here for the past six years. Just as she thought about it, Mr. Mullen Sr. suddenly narrowed his eyes and shot Kisa a cold look. Chapter 1397 Chapter 1397 Chapter 1397 You Took Too Long Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡®What¡¯s this old man trying to do? Does he still want me to drop dead in front of his family?¡± She was still confused about why Mr. Mullen Sr. wanted her dead. ¡®Sara wants to kill me because of Gilbert, but why did this old man help her? Why does he follow her commands? Could it be that he¡­ has feelings for Sara?!¡± The more Kisa thought about it, the more puzzled she felt, mainly because Mr. Mullen Sr. was old enough to be Sara¡¯s grandfather. She quickly dismissed the random thought in her mind and decided it would be best to get out of the basement. ¡®Who knows if she has a backup n?¡¯ she thought. Boom! Boom!!! Suddenly, there was a burst of loud noise. Like an earthquake, the ground began to shake, and all the room¡¯s decor fell to the floor one by one. Even the cabs, tables, and chairs crashed to the ground. Everyone staggered around as the whole ce shook violently, some fell. Kelvin hurriedly supported Kisa and entreated Mr. Mullen Sr, ¡°What is going on? Is this basement unstable? Mr. Mullen Sr¡¯s expression changed. He seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly ran out of the room with his cane. Perhaps he was walking too fast, or maybe the whole ce was shaking; Mr. Mullen Sr. fell to the ground before he could take a few more steps. ¡°Grandpa, are you okay? Grandpa¡­¡± Arthur said, quickly helping him up. ¡°Quick¡­ Everyone¡­ Get out of here¡­ G-Get out, quick!¡± Mr. Mullen Sr. roared as his voice trembled. All of them were still dazed and confused when suddenly¡­ Boom! Another loud sound erupted, and the room shook even more intensely. The ceiling started crashing down, and stones and dirt began to fall. Mr. Mullen Sr. panicked and yelled, ¡°Run! Run! This ce is going to copse! It¡¯s going to copse!¡± Everyone returned to their senses and began to run out of the basement, one after the other. Above the ground, Adrien pped Sara away fiercely and growled coldly at her. ¡°What the hell are your doing?!¡± he said. In her hand was a remote control to the time bombs she had secretly nted in the basement before. She knew that she had to resort to extreme measures in case her first n did not work out. She did not want to bring the ce down, let alone kill so many people in it, but she wanted Kisa dead. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Sara had endured six years of humiliation. Whenever the old man was on top of her, all she could think of was to chop Kisa up into pieces. She swore to herself that she would make her pay a hundred and a thousand times more. I wouldn¡¯t be living in that dark basement for six years if it weren¡¯t for her. I wouldn¡¯t have be that old man¡¯s ything either,¡¯ she thought I hate her I hate that b*tch so much. Gilbert¡¯s heart will never be mine if she¡¯s still alive I must kill that woman, even if it means destroying the Mullen family. Sara¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred and madness at that moment. She stood up from the bushes and stared at Adrien disappointedly. She held up the controller and said, ¡°You told me you would help me capture Gilbert¡¯s heart, but you took too long, and I don¡¯t have the patience to wait any longer,¡± Chapter 1398 Chapter 1398 Chapter 1398 Copsed Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. ¡°When all the bombs go off, the basement will turn into rubble, and all of them will surely die. Hehehe¡­¡± Saraughed coldly, about to press all the buttons on the remote control. ¡°Stop! Do you think you won¡¯t face consequences if you kill them?¡± Adrien hurriedly said. ¡°Do you actually think that people won¡¯t suspect you if the entire basement copses and the Mullens die down there?¡± ¡°It¡¯ll be difficult for them to convict me,¡± Sara smiled softly, a littlecent. ¡°After all, no one knows that I was living down there. The basement could have copsed due to poor structure. I¡¯ve done my best. to help you curry favor with that old man for six years, Mr. Tanner. I¡¯m not asking for anything in return, but can you please get out of my way?¡± Adrien narrowed his eyes coldly upon hearing that. He thought that Sara was an easy pawn to wrap around his fingers; he did not expect her to be so messed up. The ground below his feet kept on shaking, and he presumed that the basement was beginning to crumble. Those people would probably be buried alive if she sets off more bombs, Adrien thought. Slowly, he raised his hand to reveal a big wristwatch with a thick strap. Though the thing looked like a watch, a hidden weapon was installed on its face. Adrien calmly pointed the watch in Sara¡¯s direction and deliberately tried to divert her attention by saying, ¡°I promised to help you get that man when we made. the deal. I may be cruel sometimes, but I¡¯m someone who keeps my word. Just wait a little longer.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t bear it anymore, Mr. Tanner. Especially when he looked me in the eyes and said her name.¡± Sara began pressing the buttons as she said that. Adrien¡¯s face changed, and he quickly activated his secret weapon. Under the cold moonlight, a short and small needle flew across the air. It pierced through Sara¡¯s skin while she was pressing one of the buttons. In an instant, Sara fell to the ground. However, there was another loud noise that came with it. Boom! The ground below them shook again once more, and the garden above it started to sink. Adrien ordered the bodyguard behind him to take Sara away and walked to the steel door. He knew the combination to the door lock, but when he keyed in the code, all he saw was [INCORRECT PASSWORD]. Adrien¡¯s face darkened severely. He nced at Sara, who the bodyguards had lifted up. I can¡¯t believe that woman changed the passcode! he thought. He then narrowed his eyes and stared deeply at the door that was shaking gently as he heard the screams and cries behind the door. He took a few steps back and told the other bodyguard to find tools to open that door. At that time, the basement had be a mess. When thest few bombs went off, the whole ce trembled like there was an earthquake Rocks and sand kept falling from the roof of the basement, and the electricity was also cut off It was pitch ck down there. The people ran around in panic while they sobbed and screamed nonstop Kisa was almost knocked over several times, but fortunately, Kelvin held onto her tightly the whole time He grabbed onto her arms tightly and growled. ¡°Stay close If one of us lives, the other will live too, and if we die, we die together There¡¯s no way I¡¯m getting out of here alone to be scolded by your man!¡± Chapter 1399 Chapter 1399 Chapter 1399 She Brought Him Into This A wave of sadness hit Kisa when she heard what Kelvin said. After all, she was the one who brought him into this mess. ¡®What would Gracie do if anything happened to him?¡± Kisa tried her best to stay calm and took out her phone to turn on the shlight. Everyone then remembered that they had their phones on them when they saw Kisa do that. One of them immediately tried to call the fire department, but there was no signal after the ce started to crumble. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! More and more bricks and stones fell from above. The basement seemed like it would be buried in no time. The people ran toward the hall while the shlight from their phones illuminated the way. There were stairs in the hall, so they would be safe as long as they could climb up. Mr. and Mrs. Mullen Sr. were old and slow, even with the help of their canes. The two were soon left behind by everyone. In the end, Arthur broke away from his mother¡¯s grip and turned back for them. Mrs. Mullen Sr. was closer to him, so he helped her first. When he was about to help Mr. Mullen Sr., the rubble began to fall right onto Mr. Mullen Sr. ¡°Grandpa!¡± Arthur yelled. He wanted to save Mr. Mullen Sr., but Jacqueline ran over and dragged him away, ¡°Arthur, hurry up. Come on. We won¡¯t be able to escape from this ce if we don¡¯t go right now.¡± ¡°Grandpa¡­ Grandpa¡­¡± Arthur could not stop crying out for his grandfather. Mr. Mullen Sr.y on the ground and waved at him to go. It seemed like the old man did not want to live anymore. There was a remorseful look on his face as he wailed, ¡°It¡¯s all my fault¡­ It¡¯s all my fault¡­ Go¡­ Don¡¯t worry about me¡­ Go¡­¡± Kisa was shocked when she heard that. Seems like Sara caused all this. That woman is truly vicious.¡± Everyone ran to the hall in panic as the roof came crashing down. The chandelier in the hall also fell and hit Leon on the head. He shouted in pain as Isaac and Joe rushed up the spiral staircase without tending to their wives. The Mullens¡¯s daughters-inw had no time to care about that while they also sprinted up the staircase desperately. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Kelvin was pulling Kisa along, about to go up the stairs, when Leon dashed over and pushed them away. His head was bleeding from the chandelier. He red fiercely at them both and said, ¡°If anybody should escape this ce, it should be the Mullens.¡± He then dragged Carrie up with him. Kelvin stared at Leon¡¯s back coldly and cursed, ¡°You b*stard! No matter how much you run, you¡¯re still going to die eventually!¡± After he said that, he quickly pulled Kisa up the stairs. Suddenly, someone yelled, ¡°Aah! The door is stuck!¡± ¡°What?! Why is it stuck?!¡± ¡°What do we do now?! Waah. I don¡¯t wanna die. Is anybody out there? I want to get out of here! Let me out! Waah.. ¡°Help! Help!¡± Kelvin and Kisa nced at each other with serious looks on their faces Kelvin wanted tough but could not ¡°It seems like we¡¯re going to die together down here,¡± he said disconstely Kisa¡¯s heart tightened She looked at Kelvin, feeling extremely guilty, and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for bringing you into this.¡± ¡°Shut up. I hate it when people apologize to me,¡± roared Kelvin. ¡°It¡¯s not the end yet. I have to get out of here. Gracie¡¯s waiting for me at home.¡± Chapter 1400 Chapter 1400 Chapter 1400 Saving Themselves Kisa nodded heavily. ¡°Yes. We¡¯re getting out of here! You¡¯re going to see Gracie, and I¡¯ll see Gilbert.¡± Boom! Unfortunately, just as she said those words, a loud noise sounded again, and the spiral staircase copsed. Those who had rushed up to save themselves all fell to the ground. One unlucky guy was even directly buried under the stairs. The hall was filled with painful screams and cries. Arthur and Jacqueline, who had just arrived before the scene as they helped Mrs. Mullen Sr. over, were too scared to speak After the staircase fell, the entire hall started to crumble. The ground kept shaking, and loud noises wereing from all directions. The ceiling, the bricks, and the lights began to crash down one after another. Kisa could hardly stand still in that situation and had to dodge the falling bricks. She then had no choice but to separate from Kelvin. The two tried their best form getting hit by all the debris. Suddenly, half of the roof caved in, and Kisa narrowly escaped being buried under the rubble. ¡°Careful!¡± Kelvin shouted and pushed her out of the way. Kisa stepped back hastily. The ground was shaking, and she staggered for a long time before her back touched a wall, saving her from a fall. She then noticed that she had dropped her phone while narrowly escaping being buried. It was 6 feet away from her. As she went to go pick it up, tons of rubble and debris fell from above, directly burying her phone underneath. The rubble seemed to have separated her from Kelvin, and she was instantly plunged into darkness. Kisa¡¯s heart sank. She pressed herself tightly against the wall and yelled his name over and over, but she could not hear anything except the sound of the ceiling falling. Kisa did not know what was going on with Kelvin at that time. She was afraid that all of them had been buried alive since she could not hear the slightest sound from them, not even the cries of the Mullen family. It was pitch ck, and Kisa could not see anything. Her fears were magnified tremendously, and she did not dare to move. She was scared that any sudden movements might cause the ce to copse and fall on top of her, but she could not just stay there either because the wall behind her was also starting to crumble. ¡®What do I do now? thought Kisa. There¡¯s a high chance of me being buried here in the next few seconds if I stay where I am. I¡¯ll probably be paralyzed if not dead.¡± She held onto her lower abdomen and gently ran her fingers over her t tummy. For the sake of our child, I have to find a way out.¡± Kisa tried to stay calm and make her way toward the archway. ¡°Sounds like the loud boom we heard earlier came from one of the arches, which means that was the first ce to copse, and the hall was thest. If this is the case, that area should have stopped falling apart by now.¡± A few stones fell from above and hit Kisa¡¯s forehead as she walked through the hall. The pain almost made her faint She quickened her pace and went to the arch on the left based on her memory. I might as well go to the other side of the arch to have a look since I¡¯m likely to be stoned to death if i stay here,¡¯ she thought. If my guess is correct, that side should be safer right now.¡± Kisa could not see a thing. All she could do was hold her hand out to find her way. The further she went the quieter it got. The sound of things falling also became softer. The ground below her feet also started to stabilize In the dark, the noise of rocks and sand falling sounded from time to time. After walking for an unknown period, Kisa arrived at a dead end. She touched her surroundings for quite a while and stumbled upon the remains from the initial copse. Although there was no way ahead, it was still safer here since the sky was not falling. Suddenly, a faint light shed before Kisa on the left.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Chapter 1401 Chapter 1401 Chapter 1401 He¡¯ll Definitely Find Her Kisa was startled and began to feel curious. Strange¡­ How can there be light?¡¯ The tiny spot of light was not very bright. Kisa stared at it for a long time, only to realize that it was coming through the cracks of the ruins. The rubble from the copse had formed a wall. Kisa needed to find out whether someone was there or if someone had dropped their phone. The faint light looked like a shlight from a mobile. Kisa touched her way around but still could not find a way out. ¡°Hello? Is anyone there?¡± she shouted, but no one answered. ¡®Someone must have dropped a phone on the other side,¡¯ she thought. ¡®This will be much easier if only I can grab it.¡± Kisa put her hands on the wall and continued walking along it, but she still could not find an exit. Suddenly, she heard a vague sound of people talking. The voices sounded familiar. ¡®That sounds like Anthony and Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯ Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t hate you, Anthony. On the contrary, son, you¡¯re the most important child to me. I only wanted to train you so that you could be stronger. That¡¯s why I¡¯m always so strict and harsh on you.

Help me! Help!!!¡± she yelled. Anthony was walking toward another exit with Mr. Mullen Sr. on his back. Suddenly, he heard the cry for help and could not help but stop in his tracks. Although Mr. Mullen Sr. had hit his head hard. on the stone and was covered in blood, he still recognized that the voice was Kisa¡¯s. He opened his eyes slightly, looked at Anthony, who looked tense, and smiled weakly, ¡°Put me down and save her¡­ After all, she¡­ She¡¯s your beloved¡¯s best friend¡­ She¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. Someone else wille for her.¡± After that, Anthony carried Mr. Mullen Sr. on his back and walked into a narrow opening without looking back. ¡®I¡¯m sure he¡¯lle and save her,¡¯ he thought. Kisa shouted for a long time, but no one answered. She weakly leaned against the ruins as she began to wonder why Anthony was there. ¡®The door was locked from outside, and the stairs had copsed. There was no reason for him toe. Even if the search and rescue team had arrived and managed to open the door, he shouldn¡¯t have come down alone. What¡¯s going on here?¡± ¡®Does he¡­ Does he know that there¡¯s another exit in this basement ?! Just as Kisa was thinking about it, some rocks and sand fell from above onto her legs. Kisa gasped in pain as she could barely move her limbs. She reached out to touch her leg and suddenly felt some warm liquid. She was bleeding. She let out a breath and leaned feebly against the wall. It was still pitch ck, Kisa stared nkly into the darkness, and a wave of sadness formed in her heart. ¡®Am I really going to die like this? Does anyone even know that I¡¯m here? Will anybodye and rescue me?¡¯ Kisa stroked her belly as she thought about what would happen to her. ¡®Every time I want to protect you, I end up putting you in danger,¡¯ she said to the baby in her belly. ¡®I¡¯m such an ipetent mother¡­ I wonder what Gilbert is doing right now. Does he know that I¡¯m down here? Would hee save me if he knew?¡± Suddenly, Kisa saw Gilbert walking toward her, almost like a hallucination from missing him too much. Chapter 1402 Chapter 1402 Chapter 1402 You Hate Me Again, Don¡¯t You? Kisa leaned against the rubble weakly, staring at the figure shrouded in a faint light. She did not dare to move. She feared that the figure would disappear like a bubble if she moved. I¡¯m having a hallucination. Am I dying? But¡­ At least I get to see him.¡¯ Suddenly, Kisa did not feel so afraid or helpless anymore. She smiled at the figure and muttered, ¡°Will you me me for not protecting our child?¡± The man appeared in front of her as soon as she said that. He knelt down and stared at her without blinking. Under the faint light from the phone¡¯s shlight function, the man¡¯s ck eyes looked like coal. Kisa looked carefully into his eyes; there was resentment behind it. She then could not help but smile sadly and said, ¡°I guess I really hurt your feelings, huh? Look at you. You look so angry still, in my imagination.¡± All of a sudden, Kisa burst into tears. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry¡­ I¡¯m so sorry¡­ I didn¡¯t mean to hurt you, Gilbert. I didn¡¯t mean it¡­¡± While she said that, she reached out her hand, wanting to touch his face. But she was scared that she would destroy the illusion in front of her, so her hand stopped mid-air, and she dared not touch him. ¡°You hate me again, don¡¯t you? It¡¯s fine¡­ I¡¯m about to die in here anyway¡­¡± she said while she looked up. Her vision was bing hazy, and the ceiling was crumbling. Dirt and rocks kept felling from above. ¡°You must be d that no one will be there to annoy you anymore when I¡¯m gone¡­ I¡¯m sorry¡­ I know you¡¯re going to me me but¡­ I¡¯m really sorry I couldn¡¯t save our child¡­¡± Kisa began to lose consciousness. More and more blood flowed out of her legs while her forehead was also bleeding. Kisa squinted her eyes halfway, staring at the figure she had imagined in front of her, as if trying to remember his face; maybe to remember him even after death. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. However, the man had a concerned look on his face and started calling out to her anxiously. Could it be? Is the imaginary figure of my husband actually showing emotions? Back on the surface, the sun rose in the early morning, and light shone over the restricted zone. The ce looked devastated. The Mullen family¡¯s forbidden area, that was rumored to be a miraculous ce, had copsed overnight. Acres of flowers surrounding thend were destroyed. The nts, the rockery, and the hot springs were all gone, forming a huge pit. The once mysterious forbiddennd was now turned into ruins. It looked like the ce had been demolished with heavy machinery. The search and rescue team had arrived the night before. It was dawn before everyone buried in the basement was rescued. Fortunately, no one had been killed. However, each of them suffered varying degrees of trauma. Leon was the most seriously injured out of everyone. He could no longer move his legs and they were both covered in blood. He was hysterically crying and howling when he was carried out form. the ruins. Mrs. Mullen Sr. only had a small injury on her forehead thanks to Arthur, but she could not stop shaking and shivering from the shock. She looked at the destroyednd and shouted, ¡°My husband My husband is still in there¡­¡± Arthur hurriedly supported her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, grandma. The search and rescue team is doing their job. I¡¯m sure grandpa will be fine.¡± Though he said that, Arthur¡¯s words did not reflect how he actually felt; he was uncertain about his grandfather¡¯s safety as he gazed upon the ruins. A number of paramedics also arrived at the scene and started to treat everyone¡¯s wounds. Kelvin¡¯s right leg had been hit by a rock, and it was covered in blood. His head had suffered many injuries, but he did not bother to get it wrapped up. Instead, he limped toward the ruins and started frantically searching through it to find Kisa. Chapter 1403 Chapter 1403 Chapter 1403 How Can He Live Without You? ¡°Kisa¡­ Where are you? Kisa¡­¡± Kelvin kept calling her name and dug through the dirt and rubble with his bare hands. After a while, his hands were covered in blood. ¡°You can¡¯t die on us, Kisa. What will Gilbert do if you¡¯re dead? How is he going to live without you? Kisa¡­ Please be okay¡­ Kisa¡­¡± His eyes were red with tears as he roared frantically into the ruins. Adrien stood aside, smoking a cigarette and surveying at the damage thoughtfully. ¡®Is that woman really dead? How will I keep up this game if she¡¯s dead?¡¯ He narrowed his eyes coldly, and he seemed irritated. ¡°You lot, go and look for them. Make sure you rescue Mr. Mullen Sr. and Mrs. Kooper,¡± Adrien ordered the bodyguards behind him. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. He then walked toward Mrs. Mullen Sr. and said, ¡°Are you alright, Mrs. Mullen Sr.?¡± The olddy shook her head but covered her face and cried, ¡°I¡¯m fine, but my husband¡­¡± ¡°That was scary. How could the basement copse like that?¡± Lydia said with lingering fear as she clutched her chest. Gloria, on the other hand, said, ¡°It must be that crazy woman¡¯s fault. If she hadn¡¯t pretended to be mad, we wouldn¡¯t have gone down to the basement, let alone stay there for so long. It¡¯s her fault we went through this.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Kelvin suddenly yelled coldly. His scarlet eyes looked terrifying. Gloria shrank back in fear and turned to Mrs. Mullen Sr. The olddy remembered how remorseful her husband looked when the basement copsed and began to understand something. She shook her head, physically and mentally exhausted, and said, ¡°That basement was huge and had not been renovated for a long time. The walls were no longer strong enough to hold themselves up. The copse was an ident. No one is to me.¡± Gloria wanted to continue her argument, but suddenly, a figure came out of the ruins in the distance. Everyone was shocked to see that the figure was carrying another person on their back. It was not until they came closer that they realized it was Anthony with Mr. Mullen Sr. on his back. Jane was the first one to recognize her son. She ran over quickly and said, ¡°Anthony¡­ H-How did you get out of there? And¡­ W-What¡¯s wrong with your father?¡± Anthony did not reply. His face was ashen and mournful. Mr. Mullen Sr. had passed on his back when they were trying to escape. He put the old man down and sat beside him for a long time until dawn care. That was when he started carrying him out of the basement. Mrs. Mullen Sr.¡¯s heart sank when she saw Anthony¡¯s face. She staggered over and grabbed his arm while anxiously asking, ¡°How is your father? Is he¡­¡± ¡°Dead,¡± Anthony said expressionlessly. Everyone was shocked once again. Albert hurried over and helped Mr. Mullen Sr. off Anthony¡¯s back. Indeed, he was not breathing, and his body was cold. Mrs. Mullen Sr. could not bear the idea of it and fainted immediately. Leon and Isaac asked, ¡°How did dad die? Did you¡­ Did you do something to him?!¡± Anthony stayed quiet and just stared at the old man¡¯s lifeless body. Suddenly, Kelvin rushed over and shook Anthony as he asked, ¡°Where did you find him? Did you see Kisa in there? Did you see her?¡± Anthony turned over mechanically, looked at Kelvin, and said, ¡°I did.¡± Chapter 1404 Chapter 1404 Chapter 1404 I Don¡¯t Care If You Want To Die Kelvin was agitated and asked, ¡°Where is she? Is she okay? Is she safe?¡± Adrien was also staring at Anthony at that point, nervous about finding out the answer. He did not want Kisa to die just like that. Anthony was silent for a long time. When he started to speak, his voice was weak. ¡°Gilbert took. her out of there, but I¡¯m unsure if she¡¯s alive.¡± ¡°Gilbert? How can he be here? Are you toying with me?¡± Kelvin asked, taken aback by what he heard. Anthony did not pay any attention to him. Instead, he just stared at Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s lifeless body in a daze, and everyone in the Mullen family fell into a mourning state. Adrien looked toward the horizon of the ruins thoughtfully ¡®Seems like there¡¯s another exit in this basement that even that old man did not know about Sara, Sara, Sara. I¡¯ve underestimated you¡­¡± ¡®Thank god Gilbert saved Kisa, though. I was worried that she wouldn¡¯t be able to return to his side. The corners of Adrien¡¯s lips curled when he thought about it. His eyes darkened as he rubbed the secret watch weapon on his wrists. Ouch! Kisa woke up from the pain to find the medics tending her legs. She stared at the unfamiliar surroundings and was stunned for a moment. After some time, she recalled being trapped in the basement before losing consciousness. ¡®Did they save me?¡¯ ¡®Wait. Kelvin. Where¡¯s Kelvin?! She looked around hurriedly but did not see him. However, she did see a tall, straight figure who looked extremely familiar. Her heart trembled slightly at the sight of the man. It was Gilbert. The man was standing in front of the window with his back on her. The sight of his back looked distant and cold. Kisa subconsciously tightened her grip on the corner of her clothes. ¡®Was the person I saw down there not just a hallucination? Did hee and save me? Wasn¡¯t he back in Calthon because he was mad at me? Why would he take the risk ande save me? Her mind was flooded with thoughts. Kisa lifted the nket that covered her from the waist down and wanted to get up, but the medics stopped her. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, your leg is broken. Please don¡¯t move around.¡± The figure who had his back to the window suddenly turned around. The man¡¯s face was stone cold, and the darkness in his eyes looked indifferent. Kisa did not dare to look into his eyes at that moment. All the hurtful words she had said were just words. She had acted out the whole thing. including the breakup. She felt guilty that she had wronged him. She lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice, ¡°Thank you for saving me.¡± After saying that, Kisa was ready to get out of bed again. I have to find Kelvin. Gracie¡¯s still waiting for him at home. How am I going to exin myself if anything happened to him?¡± Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. The doctor looked at Gilbert for help since they could not stop her Gilbert¡¯s fists tightened. He stared at the injuries she had suffered on her forehead and legs as he said coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t care if you no longer want to live, but please, don¡¯t take my child with you.¡± Something twitched in Kisa¡¯s heart. She stroked her lower abdomen subconsciously, unable to speak. Gilbert walked up to her slowly. The man¡¯s face was dark, and there was no warmth behind his cold eyes. He looked into her teary eyes and said with indifference, ¡°No matter what, you will never forgive me for what I¡¯ve done before, right? All you want is to kill me and avenge Jensen, right?!¡± Kisa¡¯s heart trembled. She looked at him and said nothing. The man then started to let out a coldugh. Chapter 1405 Chapter 1405 Chapter 1405 I Will Not Care About You Anymore ¡°It¡¯s okay. You can kill me whenever you get the chance. I¡¯m tired of you being loving one second and not the other. I don¡¯t want to fight for us anymore.¡± Kisa frowned as she looked at the man. ¡®What does he mean by that? Was he actually hurt by what I said that day? Does he no longer want this rtionship with me?¡¯ Suddenly, Gilbert stretched out his hand and stroked her belly with his slender fingers for a while.¡± However, I¡¯ll still have you by my side for the sake of this child,¡± he said. ¡°You can go wherever you like when the child is born. I won¡¯t care about you anymore. Even if you face something as tragic as what just happened, you¡¯ll be on your own.¡± Kisa nkly stared at the hand that was lingering on her stomach. Subconsciously, she reached out to grab it, but the man withdrew his touch. Kisa¡¯s hand stopped in mid-air, empty and lonely. She wanted to exin everything to Gilbert, but if Adrien and his evil ns were still in action, they would never be able to live in peace. She also needed to solve the problem regarding Sara. ¡®Would he even believe me if I told him that Sara was hiding in the basement of the Mullen residence? Would he believe me if I said she wanted to take my life?¡¯ There were just too many people and things that kepting in between Kisa and Gilbert. The trust between them was just not enough. ¡®Even if we do get back together for a short period of time, how long are we going tost?¡± ¡®I want us and our child to live together safely for the rest of our lives, not this brief little reunion. Sara could really shatter this dream if she wanted to. I¡¯ve got to solve this mystery, or we¡¯ll never be able to truly be together,¡¯ thought Kisa. ¡®As for Adrien¡­ It would be best if Gilbert knew nothing about it so that our y would seem realistic, and Adrien won¡¯t suspect a thing. To hell with him misunderstanding me. I mean, the truth will reveal itself one day, right?¡¯ Kisa gazed at the man¡¯s cold profile, and her vision blurred. She wiped the tears away and said in a low voice, ¡°I want to see Kelvin. I¡¯m the one who got him into this mess.¡± Gilbert stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and said expressionlessly, ¡°Kelvin is fine. Take care of yourself first.¡± He then strode out after saying that. Kisa breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Kelvin was fine. She looked at the empty doorway in a daze, feeling extremely sad but unable to cry. Gilbert had a private vi in Athadale. Kisa stayed there to recuperate and did not bother Felicity. Kelvin visited several times during her half a month of recovery. Kisa learned that the Mullen family had undergone a revolutionizing change through Kelvin¡¯s word of mouth. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. The copse of the Mullen residence basement was deemed an ident. Initially, the police wanted to investigate, but Mrs. Mullen Sr. did not want them to, so they stopped. ¡®Maybe she knew his husband had another woman in there,¡¯ Kisa thought to herself. ¡®Since the ¡°ident¡± was caused by the other woman, Mrs. Mullen Sr. might have rejected the investigation because she wanted to save the old man¡¯sst bit of dignity.¡± Albert and Anthony were the ones to take charge of all the affairs after Mr. Mullen Sr.¡¯s death while the other sons only cared about the family property. The olddy was getting too old to care for her family affairs, so she just went to the Mullen family¡¯s ancestral hall and prayed every day. While the sons were fighting against each other, to their surprise, Mr. Mullen Sr. had already drawn up the will. Everyone in the family was dumbfounded when thewyer finished reading the will in front of them. They even suspected that it was fake. Chapter 1406 Chapter 1406 Chapter 1406 Distributing The Inheritance Everyone in the Mullen family was shocked when they found out that 50% of the family¡¯s property and business shares were given to Anthony. Albert got 10%, while Leon, Isaac, and Joe each got only 5%. Meanwhile, Vivian got 15%, and finally Mrs. Mullen Sr. got 10%. Kisa was also taken aback when she heard about the distribution of the inheritance. She looked at Kelvin and asked, ¡°Are you sure? The distribution numbers seem rather unreasonable. Doesn¡¯t this mean that Anthony is now the head of the Mullen family? Wasn¡¯t he the most unfavorable one out of them all?¡± ¡°Yeah. That¡¯s why the other sons of the Mullen family went crazy. They¡¯re saying that he killed Mr. Mullen Sr. and forged the will. Leon, Isaac, and Joe are nning to join forces and sue Anthony.¡± Kisa frowned. ¡°What happened next? There hasn¡¯t been any news from the Mullen family in the past half a month. Has the inheritance dispute been resolved?¡± ¡°The only reason there hasn¡¯t been any news is that Anthony had something to do with it. After all, the argument would be a huge scandal. If it gets out on the news, their family will be aughingstock to the public eye.¡± Kisa nodded knowingly at the sound of that. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. ¡®Looks like Vivian was right. Mr. Mullen Sr. favored Anthony the most. Jane must be the happiest person in the world right now since her son¡¯s made her proud. I feel sorry for Lea. If she hadn¡¯t killed herself, Anthony would marry her since he¡¯s now the head of the house. No one would be able to bully her anymore if they got married. They would have been able to live happily ever after. It¡¯s a pity now that nothing can be done now that her life is gone.¡¯ Lea¡¯s death impacted Kisa deeply. She finally understood that being alive is the most important thing to do because as long as one is alive, there is still hope for everything. ¡°Why do I feel like Anthony has changed into apletely different person?¡± Kelvin muttered as Kisa was deep in thought. ¡°What do you mean?¡± she looked at him and asked. Kelvin popped a peanut in his mouth and said in disbelief, ¡°He didn¡¯t take the 50%.¡± ¡°What?!!¡± Kisa was surprised. She had always assumed that Anthony was a sinister person with great ambitions and a heart of vengeance. ¡®How could he not want such an inheritance? Owing 50% of the property share is equivalent to owning the entire Mullen assets. How could he give it up so easily?¡¯ Kisa was puzzled. Kelvin also could not figure out why it happened. ¡°It really seemed like he did not want anything from the will. He handed the 50% to Albert and Ms. Mullen, respectively. I wouldn¡¯t have believed in it either if I hadn¡¯t seen the whole thing happen with my own eyes.¡± ¡°It also seems like he wanted to leave the Mullen residence, but his mother did not want to go with him. Jane scolded him and cried so bad to express that she wasn¡¯t leaving and wanted to die in the Mullen family home. Anthony still left after that. He even told Albert to take care of Jane and not to mistreat her. This sh*t happened three days ago, and the man has yet to return to the Mullen residence. That¡¯s why I said he seems to have changed into apletely different person than he was back in Calthon.¡± Kisa was startled. ¡®Did Anthony change because of Lea? This shows that he really loved her. What a pity¡­¡¯ As she was lost in thought, suddenly a shadow appeared before her. Chapter 1407 Chapter 1407 Chapter 1407 Going Against Him With Their Child Kisa slowly looked up and saw Gilbert¡¯s indifferent handsome face. She had been recuperating in the vi for over half a month now and saw the man day and night. The man had never smiled at her during the time she was there. Even though the two slept on the same bed, they had their backs facing each other, which made Kisa feel lonely and bitter. However, she did not say a word about his indifference and had no right to me him. All she could do was bear it in silence. ¡®I have to figure out Adrien¡¯s true purpose before telling him anything,¡¯ she thought. Kelvin hade over several times and noticed that Gilbert was upset. Seeing the gloomy expression on the man¡¯s face, Kelvin walked over to him tactfully with the help of his crutch. His leg had been injured when the basement had copsed the other day, but it was not as serious as Kisa¡¯s injury. He was still able to walk around with his crutches, while Kisa had to sit in a wheelchair. ¡°I¡¯ll visit you in a few days, Kisa. Ms. Mullen is still waiting for me to look at her leg, so I¡¯ll have to go.¡± He had been brought over by the Mullen family driver. After saying that, Kelvin peeked at Gilbert and limped his way toward the car. He did not know what the two were arguing about, but he had never seen the man smile while he was there. ¡®D*mn. His face is getting gloomier than before. I¡¯m sure that no one would dare approach him if they saw the look on his face. I can¡¯t believe Kisa has to face him every single day¡­¡¯ Kelvin looked at Kisa again with deep sympathy in his eyes. Gilbert stood before Kisa for a long time without speaking. Beside him was one of the servants, who had a tray with a bowl of steaming hot soup in their hands. Kisa lowered her head and stayed quiet. The atmosphere was getting awkward, and the servant finally said, ¡°Sir, the soup is getting cold.¡± Gilbert then seemed to have just remembered that there was a bowl of soup. He stared at the woman¡¯s head and said softly, ¡°Drink this soup.¡± Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Kisa¡¯s morning sickness started when she was almost one moth pregnant. Now that half a month had passed, the morning sickness not only stayed, but worsened. It was so bad that she was as skinny as a stick from throwing up. He had forced her to drink some maternal milk to aid her pregnancy, but she only managed to take two sips before hurling over the edge of the sink. The man was not there when she was vomiting her guts out. He only came in after that, thinking. she had spat the milk out on purpose because she wanted to use the child against him and threaten hirn to let her go. He did not know that Kisa wanted to stay by his side. Moreover, Adrien had instructed her to stay with Gilbert, so it was impossible for her to want to go against him with their child in her womb. The man did not believe that Kisa¡¯s inability to eat or drink was purely a symptom of morning sickness. He no longer believed in what she said. On the contrary, he thought that she was trying to torture their child on purpose. He felt angry and helpless at the same time. Kisa¡¯s stomach began to churn again when she smelled the soup. She shook her head and looked at him sincerely as she said, ¡°I can¡¯t.¡± The man narrowed his eyes instantly, and a coldness appeared behind his gaze. ¡°What do you mean you can¡¯t?¡± The man¡¯s voice was stern. He had always been able to give her both the most tender and loving care as well as the most evil and hurtful side of him. Gilbert picked up the bowl of soup from the tray and uttered a few words cruelly. Chapter 1408 Chapter 1408 Chapter 1408 I Will Feed You ¡°Then I¡¯ll feed you!¡± After saying that, Gilbert raised her chin with one of his hands, forcing her to look up. Before Kisa could say anything, the man pried her mouth open with two fingers. The woman was in pain and wanted to shout at him, but the man had no mercy. He poured the chicken soup directly into her mouth. Although his actions were rough, the soup did not ssh out of Kisa¡¯s mouth. It wasn¡¯t until she was forced to swallow that the man let her go. Kisa started to choke and cough non-stop as her stomach began to churn. She then bent over and started to hurl. However, nothing came out of her. She caressed her own chest while she suffered. ¡®F*ck me. This man must think I was only pretending to throw up all this while, huh?¡± Just as she expected, the man took a few steps back and looked at her with a sneer. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you can¡¯t drink it? Why were you able to down it without any issues then?¡± Kisa¡¯s face was red, making her pale face look livelier. She held onto the armrest of the wheelchair and looked at his cold face as her vision became blurry. Kisa did not know whether it was because of anger or grievance that she was crying. But she could not speak. All she did was just stare at the man with tears in her eyes. Gilbert looked away, took a few steps to the side, and lit a cigarette. He took a puff and looked at the clouds in the sky. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me with that look on your face. Like I said, I¡¯m keeping you here for the sake of my child. I don¡¯t care about what happens to you, but you must keep my child safe. I don¡¯t care whether you really can¡¯t down your food, or you¡¯re just pretending; I will force-feed you next time if you don¡¯t eat, got it?¡± As the man said that, he looked at her with disdain. Kisa¡¯s heart trembled unconsciously, but she stayed quiet. Gilbert finished the cigarette in silence and left after that. As soon as he left, Kisa bent over and sighed helplessly. ¡®This is getting way too hard to cope. I really wish Adrien could reveal his true intentions sooner.¡± While Kisa was thinking about it, she suddenly caught a glimpse of someone from the corner of her eye. She looked up subconsciously and saw Kelvin limping over to her. ¡°Why are you here?¡± she asked, stunned. ¡°I¡­ I forgot my phone here,¡± Kelvin smiled in surprise and nced at the mobile phone on the table. Kisa nodded and handed him the phone. Kelvin took it from her but looked at her hesitantly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Tell me what¡¯s on your mind,¡± Kisa said. ¡°What is going on with Gilbert? I saw him treat you like that¡­ Are you¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Kisa said briskiy. She knew that no matter how bad that man treated her, it was not what he wanted. ¡®Everything will be fine when the truthes out, and the misunderstanding is resolved,¡± she thought. ¡°Actually, Gilbert still cares about you a whole lot. He wouldn¡¯t have risked his own life to save you if he didn¡¯t.¡± ¡°I know,¡± Kisa nodded. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Kelvin was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. ¡°By the way¡­ What happened in the restricted area the other day? Why did you pretend that you were going mad?¡± ¡°Well..¡± Kia recalled the scene of that day and filled Kelvin in with every single detail. However, when they reached the end, Kelvin kept shaking his head and said, ¡°No. That¡¯s impossible. Your eyes must¡¯ve fooled you Kisa¡¯s heart went cold when she saw Kelvin¡¯s reaction She wanted tough but couldn¡¯t. A wry smile was the only thing she could manage. Chapter 1409 Chapter 1409 Chapter 1409 He Returned Late at Night ¡°My eyes fooled me? What do you mean? Do you think I¡¯m so crazy that I couldn¡¯t even recognize Sara? Or do you think that I¡¯m intentionally putting the me on her? Huh?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what I¡¯m saying, Kisa.¡± Kelvin frowned and said, ¡°It¡¯s just¡­ There¡¯s no way that Sara would hide there. And, even if what you say is true, even if she was really there, there¡¯s no way she¡¯s capable of doing those things. She¡¯s so kind; she wouldn¡¯t even dream of hurting a fly. There¡¯s no way she could have done all that to put our life in danger.¡± ¡®Hah. Even Kelvin has a high opinion of her. Gilbert, who has always seen her as an angel, would never believe me.¡¯ Kisa suddenly became a little frustrated. She lowered her head and said weakly, ¡°You should go.¡± Kelvin felt for her when he saw how dejected she looked. When they were younger, Gilbert had always treated this woman coldly, which made him dislike her as well. He had always thought that Gilbert and Sara would end up together. After knowing that Kisa had yed Gilbert, Kelvin hated and despised her even more. However, after getting along for this short period of time, he realized that it was all a misunderstanding. Gilbert¡¯s feelings for Kisa once puzzled Kelvin, but now, he was certain that he loved her. Yet, it was still unbelievable that Sara would have done such a thing. Kelvin needed time to process this information. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Kisa. I¡¯ll look into it,¡± he said. ¡°The basement is destroyed, and that woman has disappeared without a trace. No one in the Mullen family knew about the existence of that woman in the past six years, except for Mr. Mullen Sr. And now, he¡¯s dead. How are you going to ¡®look into it¡¯? Haha,¡± Kisa sneered. ¡°Well, that¡¯s what I¡¯m saying. No one knew about her for six years. If she really was there, I¡¯m sure they would have found out. It sounds far-fetched. That¡¯s why I¡¯m having such a hard time believing you.¡± ¡°Yeah. Okay. I don¡¯t me you for not believing in me. You should go now,¡± Kisa uttered with a faint smile, but Kelvin could not get past what she said. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. ¡°Don¡¯t do that, Kisa. Maybe you should tell Gilbert about this. If he believes you, then I will too.¡± Kisa nced at him and said, ¡°Does Gracie know how unopinionated you are?¡± ¡°This is not about ack of judgment, Kisa. It just sounds unreal. You better tell Gilbert about it first since¡­ Sara was his lover back then. I have no reason to go against you if he believes you.¡± Kisa looked down andughed self-deprecatingly. ¡°You said it yourself; he loved her. How would he ever believe that she would do such a thing if you don¡¯t even believe me now?¡± Kisa was getting tired. She looked up and sighed as she firmly said, ¡°Forget it. It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t believe me. Sooner orter, I will let that woman show her true colors, just like I did with Sharon.¡± Kelvin did not say anything when she saw how determined she was. He wanted to believe her, but all his memories of Sara said otherwise. That night, Gilbert carried Kisa to the bed in his arms. However, the man¡¯s embrace was cold. After putting her on her bed, he prepared to leave without a word. Kisa knew where he was going. He went to the study next door to work. He had been like that for the past few days and only returned to their roomte at night. Gilbert thought Kisa was asleep all that time, but she was aware whenever he entered the room. When the man turned around to leave, Kisa subconsciously reached out and grabbed him by the arm. Chapter 1410 Chapter 1410 Chapter 1410 Late Night Love ¡°What?¡± Gilbert turned to look at Kisa, pulling his hand away as if he hated her touch. Kisa took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in her heart, and said calmly, ¡°I have something to tell you.¡± Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. ¡°Is that so? Go ahead then.¡± The man¡¯s tone was light. He walked to the window, opened it wide, and took out a box of cigarettes. He grabbed one of the cigarettes and lit it. Kisa noticed that Gilbert had been smoking more and more these days. The man took a big puff and exhaled the smoke before impatiently saying, ¡°I don¡¯t have all day, you know. Time is ticking, and I have matters to attend to. So, talk.¡± Kisa grabbed her nket tightly and said, ¡°I saw Sara in the Mullen family¡¯s basement.¡± Gilbert paused. He looked directly at Kisa, but her dull eyes showed no emotion. ¡°What are you trying to imply?¡± he chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m not implying anything. I¡¯m just stating the facts.¡± ¡°Oh? What are your so-called facts then?¡± the man asked casually. Under the lingering smoke, his handsome face became gloomy and indifferent. Through his attitude, Kisa suspected that his reaction would be the same as Kelvin¡¯s; he was not going to believe her. Kisa panicked. She looked straight at Gilbert and said in a deep voice, ¡°The fact is that Sara has been hiding in the restricted area of the Mullen family grounds for the past six years. She was also the one who tampered with my tea. She tried to hypnotize me so I would burn myself with a candle. She wanted me dead. She also wanted Kelvin to be a witness to the mes. After she found out that I faked being hypnotized, she bombed the basement in rage. Like I said, she wanted me dead. She did not hesitate to drag everyone in the Mullen family along with me. She is not as harmless and innocent as you imagine her to be!¡± Kisa finished everything in one breath and stared at the man¡¯s face to see his reaction. However, he just smoked in silence and did not say anything. After a long time, he stood up straight and said, ¡°I. Don¡¯t. Believe. A. Single. Word. You. Said.¡± A gush of tears began to flow from Kisa¡¯s eyes. ¡®I knew it!¡¯ She took a deep breath and tried to suppress her tears. ¡®But it is expected. How could he ever believe me in this situation? Maybe I¡¯m just too naive to think that he would believe me.¡¯ Kisa clenched her fists tightly when she saw the man walk out of the room without looking back. I must reveal Sara¡¯s vicious nature to the public! I must convince this man that I¡¯m telling him the truth!¡¯ Late that night, Kisa was half asleep when she was awakened by a phone call. She grabbed her phone in a daze and looked at the caller ID to find that Adrien was calling her. She jumped up, immediately wide awake, and supported herself up and leaned against the bed frame. She then turned on the wallmp by the bed and looked around the room. Gilbert was not back yet, so she answered the phone. ¡°Hey, Kisa. How is it going? I heard that Gilbert saved you that day. Is your injury doing better?¡± Adrien sounded worried; his voice was soft. However, the kindness behind his voice also sounded fake. ¡°My minor injuries are fine now, but my legs may need some time to heal,¡± Kisa said with a smile. ¡°That¡¯s great¡­ Speaking of which, I did not expect Mr. Kooper to risk his own safety just to save you. I guess he must have feelings for you, huh?¡± Kisa frowned when she heard that. Adrien¡¯s words sounded like a test. Suddenly, Kisa had an ideal and deliberately let out a sarcasticugh. Chapter 1411 Chapter 1411 Chapter 1411 You¡¯re Stuck With This Treatment ¡°True feelings? Heh, Uncle Adrien, you are too easy to fool. That guy didn¡¯t rescue me out of the kindness of his heart, he just stumbled upon me while searching for Sara in the basement. Saving me was just a happy coincidence. Do you really think he has feelings for me? It was all an act! Who knows if it¡¯s just a ploy he and Sara cooked up together? And now he is keeping me locked up in his private vi, torturing me every day. So, do you still think he has feelings for me? I¡¯m here to get revenge, for everything that has happened to me and Jensen. No matter what he does, it won¡¯t change my mission.¡± Adrien seemed pleased with her response. ¡°Alright, Kisa, I¡¯ll help you get revenge. Just stay close to Mr. Kooper and gain his trust. When the time is right, I will let you know what to do. Take care of yourself.¡± ¡°Thanks, Uncle Adrien,¡± Kisa said, hanging up and letting out a smile. She felt that Adrien was so eager to see Gilbert and her fight each other to the death, but the more he pushed for it, the more he would y into her hands. Kisa nced at her phone to check the time ¨C it was already midnight and that man still had not returned to the room. Normally, he would have been in bed by now. As she wondered where he could be, the bathroom door suddenly opened. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she saw Gilbert standing there, giving out an eerie and terrifying aura. She instinctively. clutched her phone tightly and gazed at him in fear. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡®He has been in the bathroom all along. Does that mean he has heard my conversation with Adrien earlier? Oh no, this misunderstanding is getting worse and worse!¡¯ Gilbert walked toward her, and the bad energy emanating from him made her shiver. She tried to move back, but the bed was behind her, and she had nowhere to go. He quickly approached her, with his hands nted on both sides of her, towering over her with a menacing presence. She was almost too scared to look him in the eyes. The cold and hostile energy was like a sharp de, piercing through her body. He remained silent and just stared at her with his chilling gaze. The atmosphere was so intense that Kisa felt suffocated. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Kisa gathered her courage and put on a fake smile, saying, ¡± Let me exin. What you heard earlier wasn¡¯t true.¡± Gilbertughed, but it was more like theugh of a bloodthirsty demon. His angry eyes were enough to make people tremble. ¡°Not true?¡± He ran his cold hand over her cheek and then grabbed her hair with a slight tug. Kisa felt a sharp pain in her scalp. ¡®Damn it! This guy is bing more and more savage,¡¯ she thought to herself. Gilbert had never been this violent before. When he was angry previously, he would just give her a cold stare or even strangle her, but he never used such force. But this time, he seemed to be seriously furious. Hisughter was quiet, almost like a whisper, but Kisa could feel the weight of his sadism. She could not take it anymore and tried to break free from his grasp. ¡°Is it appropriate to treat a pregnant woman like this?¡± ¡°I was good to you, but you didn¡¯t appreciate it. You only have yourself to me.¡± Chapter 1412 Chapter 1412 Chapter 1412 You¡¯ve Got Half an Hour He roared, tossing Kisa to the side with a flick of his hand, sending a few strands of hair fluttering in the air. ¡°Ow!¡± Kisa¡¯s scalp throbbed as she fought off the dizziness. She mentally cursed the man a million times over. ¡®What kind of guy hits a girl? And pulls her hair? Unbelievable!¡¯ Despite the rage boiling inside her, she stered on a fake smile. After all, she had to keep this brute calm until she could clear things up. She did not want to feel his wrath anymore. The more Kisa grinned, the more the man scowled. He narrowed his eyes and balled up his fist, as if he could crush her like a bug. When her happy act did not work, she switched to a pitiful one, batting her eyes and pouting. They say tears are a girl¡¯s best weapon, so she forced a few droplets out of her eyes and looked up at him with all the innocence she could muster. ¡°Those words you overheard were just a misunderstanding,¡± she whimpered. ¡°I was lying to Adrien. You¡¯ve got to believe me. I said I hated you and wanted revenge, but that was before you saved my life so many times. All that hate just melted away. Now all I want is to be with you. Please, don¡¯t be mad anymore.¡± She wasn¡¯t lying this time, so her face looked as sincere as ever. But Gilbert was too angry to believe her. He sneered and shook his head, eyes glittering with contempt. ¡°You¡¯re quite the actress, aren¡¯t you?¡± he said, voice dripping with sarcasm. ¡°I can¡¯t trust a word you say, not after all the lies you¡¯ve told. Don¡¯t even think about revenge. If you know what¡¯s good for you, you¡¯ll stay put and behave. Otherwise, you will regret it. Trust me.¡± The man finished speaking and walked out, leaving behind an icy chill that hung in the air. As his figure disappeared through the doorway, Kisa¡¯s face was ovee with a look of sadness and despair. She lowered her gaze and thought to herself, ¡®This can¡¯t go on much longer. If I don¡¯t unravel Adrien¡¯s true intentions soon, I¡¯ll be tortured to death by Gilbert.¡± Kisa knew she had to y along with Adrien¡¯s n and plete¡¯ his ultimate goal in order to discover the root of Adrien¡¯s grudge against them. She stared out the window, feeling restless and anxious. Half a monthter, Kisa¡¯s leg had finally healed enough for her to walk with a crutch. Kelvin¡¯s injury had also fully recovered, allowing him to move freely without assistance. Even Vivian¡¯s leg had made great progress, no longer requiring Kelvin¡¯s ongoing treatment. Her family doctor followed Kelvin¡¯s treatment n to sessfully rehabilitate Vivian¡¯s leg. ording to Kelvin, the family feud over the Mullen¡¯s estate had finally died down, with Albert in full control. As for Anthony, no one knew where he had gone. Albert had sent people to look for him, but he had disappeared without a trace. On this day, Gilbert finished his work and was ready to head back to Calthon. Before going home, Kisa insisted on visiting Lea¡¯s grave at the cemetery. At first, Gilbert was hesitant and did not want to go, but Kisa used all her wiles and begged him relentlessly until he finally agreed. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. It was a gloomy day, with a chill in the air. Gilbert parked the car at the base of the cemetery hill. He did not even look at Kisa, only saying in a cold tone, ¡°You¡¯ve got half an hour.¡± Chapter 1413 Chapter 1413 Chapter 1413 Thrilling Horror Kisa¡¯s face scrunched up as she thought of her way up to the spot. With how hard it was for her to move, the ten-minute trek would take a lot out of her, and the thought of a 20-minute round trip was daunting, especially when she was on crutches. But she put on a brave face and approached Gilbert with a n to haggle. That was until he shot her a cold, hard look that cut off her words mid -sentence. It made her grit her teeth and grip her crutches a little tighter in frustration. Gilbert¡¯s eyes darted down to his wristwatch and spoke with a t tone, ¡°It¡¯s been a minute already.¡± She could not help but notice that it was the very watch she had gifted him earlier and her anger dissipated just a little bit, thinking no matter what, he still carried with him the things she gave him. She opened the car door, after a quick nce at the road ahead, she turned to him and asked, And if I don¡¯te back in half an hour, what then?¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave you in the cemetery for the night and pick you up tomorrow.¡± He smiled coldly and added, ¡°It¡¯ll be thrilling for you, spending the night in a cemetery.¡± ¡®Thrilling? More like downright horrifying!¡¯ Kisa thought to herself, feeling a shiver run down her spine. ¡®He is anything but considerate!¡¯ She shot him an angry look, then grabbed her crutches and stepped out of the car. Just as she made her way out, Gilbert¡¯s voice rang out from inside the car. ¡°Hurry up, it¡¯s already been three minutes.¡± She turned to see him sitting back in his seat, holding a cigarette between his fingers, but not lighting it. A wicked grin tugged at the corner of his lips, and she realized that he would never give her a few extra minutes. With a sigh, she steeled herself and started up the path, making her way as quickly as possible with her crutches. In the car, Gilbert waspletely lost in thought, staring at her silhouette with nk eyes filled with an unshakeable sadness. He could no longer understand Kisa, unsure which of her words were true. All he could do now was keep her close, even if she truly wanted to end his life, it did not matter. The weather was chilly, and the graveyard felt even more deste. Kisa hobbled with her cane, making her way to Lea¡¯s tombstone. She was surprised to find several fresh bouquets of flowersid out in front of it clearly, someone had just visited Lea. Beside the tombstoney a broken wine bottle, its contents still unabsorbed by the ground, proof that the wine had just been spilled But Kisa could not see anyone around, which was strange, as there was only one entrance, and she had not seen anyone on her way in. ¡®Did the person leave just before I arrived?¡¯ Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Kisa crouched down andid the bundle of white chrysanthemums she was carrying in front of Lea¡¯s tombstone. As she gazed at Lea¡¯s smiling face on the gravestone, she could not help but wonder if the person who came to visit was Anthony. Suddenly, a strange sound interrupted her thoughts. Hearing strange noises in a graveyard always gave her a creepy feeling, and the chilly weather only amplified it It sounded like someone trying to muffle their screams, struggling to break free. Kisa furrowed her brow and looked around, and suddenly she saw a pair of feet behind another gravestone. She was terrified She took two steps back and stared at the feet. They were a man¡¯s feet, and he seemed to be struggling as his feet kept rubbing against the ground. Kisa looked back at the fresh flowers in front of Lea¡¯s tombstone, and the unabsorbed wine, wondering if the feet belonged to Anthony With this in mind, she bravely walked toward the feet Chapter 1414 Chapter 1414 Chapter 1414 Killing Him to Keep Him Quiet As she walked over, the whimpering sounds caused by struggling grew more and more pronounced. Kisa was still a little scared, so she walked over to the other side of the aisle, thinking that in case something happened, she would have an easier time making a run for it. As she ascended a few steps, passing two rows of graves, she suddenly spotted two burly bodyguards, sping their hands over a man¡¯s mouth and nose, while pressing him hard onto the ground. And who was that guy if it was not Anthony? ¡°What are you two doing?¡± Kisa yelled, ¡°I have called the cops and they are on their way!¡± N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. One of the bodyguards started walking menacingly toward her, like he was going to rough her up or something. But the other one nced at Kisa and suddenly remembered something, so he grabbed his buddy and drag him away. Kisa was on high alert, ready to flee at a moment¡¯s notice, when she suddenly saw the two men pulling and tucking each other, walking away. She was taken aback and could not help but wonder, ¡®Do those two really think I have backup nearby?¡¯ It was not until the two people had left that Kisa hobbled over to Anthony¡¯s side with her cane. But he was not the same Anthony she remembered. Just a month had passed, yet Anthony seemed like a completely different person. The old Anthony was wild and ruthless, with a vicious streak a mile wide. But now, with his scruffy beard and disheveled look, Kisa could only think of one word: pathetic. As she approached, she leaned in and asked him in a soft voice, ¡°What¡¯s going on, Anthony?¡± His face was slightly red, likely from being held down by the guards just moments ago. Anthony did not say anything, but just nced at her once and then staggered over to Lea¡¯s tombstone and kneeled down, his eyes zing red. Even with a nk expression on his face, Kisa could sense a deep sense of sadness emanating from his lifeless eyes. She lowered her gaze, and her heart sank with sadness. After a long silence, Anthony finally spoke. His voice was hoarse, as if it carried endless ages of experience and sorrow. ¡°Those two people earlier were Adrien¡¯s men. He wants me dead.¡± Kisa was startled for a moment, but not surprised. She had seen iting. Anthony and Adrien used to be a team, always plotting against her and Gilbert. However, back then, Anthony yed the role of the viin while Adrien was the hero. Now, Anthony was devastated by Lea¡¯s death and did not even care about the Mullen family¡¯s wealth anymore. He had no intention of targeting Kisa or Gilbert. His exit, however, made Adrien anxious. Adrien feared that Anthony would expose his true nature, so he sent someone to kill him and silence him forever. Kisaposed herself and said, ¡°Adrien didn¡¯t seed this time, but there will be a next time. I suggest you act crazy and stupid. As long as you¡¯re insane, you won¡¯t be a threat to him, and he won¡¯t want you dead. People like him fear nothing more than getting involved in a murder case.¡± But when Kisa finished speaking, Anthony chuckled. ¡°You can say such things because you know his true nature. But do you really think I can act insane just to survive? It¡¯s just death. What is there to fear? If I die, I can reunite with Lea in the afterlife. Isn¡¯t that better?¡± Kisa could not bear to look at him, thinking of Lea¡¯s love for this man. Lea had not been afraid of death, but she had been afraid of him dying. Kisa took a deep breath and said, ¡°But Lea wouldn¡¯t want you dead. She left you in such a tragic way to get revenge on you. Do you really want to let her down? If you die, how can you face her in the afterlife? You have no right to die.¡± Chapter 1415 Chapter 1415 Chapter 1415 Returning the Favor ¡°Hehehe¡­¡± Anthony suddenly let out a howl ofughter that echoed through the cemetery. He looked at the photo on the tombstone, shaking his head, but hisughter was so wild that tears streamed down his face. ¡°You women, are you all heartless like this?¡± Kisa, who was leaning on her crutches, was taken aback by the sudden outburst ofughter. She scowled and crouched down to meet Anthony¡¯s gaze. ¡°We are heartless because you men hurt us first,¡± she shot back in a low growl. ¡°Athadale isn¡¯t a very nice ce, and I don¡¯t think Lea would like it here. Take her ashes with you and go. She loved the mountains that touch the sky, the rivers that flow freely, and the grasnds that stretch far and wide. But Athadale was never her cup of tea. It hurts to imagine her ashes stuck here, amid all this sorrow.¡± Anthony¡¯s his expression lit up. ¡°Take her away?¡± ¡°Yes, live your life to the fullest and show her all the beautiful sights this world has to offer.¡± Anthony looked down at Lea¡¯s photo once again and nodded slowly. ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll do it.¡± Kisa let out a sigh of relief. She did not like Anthony, but she owed him her life. After all, it was his intel that helped Gilbert find her in the copsed basement. So, in a way, she was returning the favor by helping him now. Besides, considering the agonizing love Lea had endured, it was only fair that Anthony should spend the rest of his life in remorse for his misdeeds. As she was about to leave, she turned to Anthony and asked once again about Adrien¡¯s situation. Unfortunately, even Anthony did not know Adrien¡¯s background or why he would go after her and Gilbert. It seemed that Adrien¡¯s secrets were truly hidden deep away. As she made her way down the hill, Kisa was lost in thought. She was so distracted that she did not notice someone standing in her path until she bumped into him. Looking up, she was surprised to see Adrien staring down at her. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡®Adrien is here at the cemetery too? Was he here all along, or did those two bodyguards fail toplete their task and inform him toe?¡¯ Kisa¡¯s heart raced as she turned to Adrien and asked with a mix of curiosity and suspicion, ¡°Uncle Adrien, what brings you here?¡± Adrien shot her a meaningful nce before replying, ¡°I came specifically to find you. Kisa was taken aback. ¡°Me? How¡¯d you know I was here?¡± She wondered if Adrien had her under surveince. Adrien chuckled. ¡°I heard Mr. Kooper is taking you back to Calthon tomorrow, and I figured since your friend is buried here, you would want to pay her a visit before you leave. So I thought I¡¯d try my luck and see if I could catch you here.¡± Kisa nodded, pretending to understand. ¡°So, Uncle Adrien, is there something you need from me?¡± Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Adrien shook his head. ¡°No urgent matter. I just wanted to check if your injuries were healing properly,¡± he said, casting a nce at her bandaged leg. Kisa smiled. ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. My leg just needs some rest.¡± Adrien nodded, but Kisa could see a glimmer of something in his eyes. She decided to y along and see where it led. ¡°By the way, Uncle Adrien, I just saw Anthony up there.¡± Adrien¡¯s smile faltered for a moment before he regained hisposure. ¡°The Mullen family is looking for him everywhere, and he¡¯s hiding right here. Who would¡¯ve thought?¡± Kisa could not help but be amused by Adrien¡¯s acting skills. ¡®If he didn¡¯t know Anthony was here, how could he have sent his henchmen to kill him and silence him for good?¡¯ Adrien was a master of deception, but Kisa knew how to act too. She put on a mournful expression and said, ¡°You know, Uncle Adrien, Anthony has gone mad.¡± Chapter 1416 Chapter 1416 Chapter 1416 ¨C He Really Laid His Hands on You? Adrien¡¯s expression suddenly became serious, and he seemed to have trouble believing Kisa¡¯s words. ¡°He¡¯s gone mad?¡± Kisa nodded solemnly. ¡°Yes, it seems that my friend¡¯s death was too much for him to handle. He mistook me for my friend, and then suddenly treated me like an enemy. He nearly choked me to death. It was a struggle to escape. From what I¡¯ve heard, he¡¯s given away all the inheritance that Mr. Mullen Sr. left him. It looks like he has gone mad.¡± Adrien looked at her for a few seconds, took a drag from his cigarette, pondering over Kisa¡¯s words. ¡°I never thought that someone like him could go crazy over a woman.¡± ¡°Perhaps he loved her deeply. Even bad people have emotions and desires. Don¡¯t they?¡± Adrien nodded, but his smile seemed forced. Kisa sighed. ¡°I¡¯ve already contacted the Mullen family. We¡¯ll see if theye to find him. It¡¯s sad that he¡¯s gone mad like this.¡± She looked up at the hill and then turned to Adrien. ¡°Uncle Adrien, would you like to go up and see him? He¡¯s still up there, guarding my friend¡¯s grave.¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t think he would want to be disturbed,¡± Adrien replied as he helped Kisa to her feet.¡± Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you down the hill. By the way, how did you get here with your leg injury? Wasn¡¯t Mr. Kooper worried about you alone?¡± ¡®Alone?¡¯ Kisa¡¯s heart sank. ¡®Could Gilbert have really left?¡¯ She replied, ¡°Gilbert brought me here. Didn¡¯t you see him when you came up just now?¡± Adrien¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°No, I didn¡¯t. That¡¯s strange. I wonder where he went. As they descended the mountain, Kisa couldn¡¯t shake off the feeling that something wasn¡¯t quite right. Gilbert had promised to be there for her, but he had left her alone when she needed him the most. She wondered if he had his own reasons for leaving. Adrien¡¯s face showed a clear moment of confusion before he said, ¡°Nope, when I arrived, there was no one at the entrance and no cars either.¡± Kisa lowered her eyes, confirming that Gilbert had indeed left. ncing at her watch, she realized an hour had passed. ¡®That heartless man has given me half an hour and stuck to it, leaving me all alone!¡¯ ¡°Kisa, did Mr. Kooper really leave? How could he leave you here in this graveyard all by yourself? The sun is about to set, and what if something dangerous happens?¡± Adrien eximed with concern. Kisa smirked sarcastically and said, ¡°I told you before, he has no feelings for me. I saw his first love in the Mullen residence¡¯s basement, and she¡¯s nowhere to be found now. He probably hid her away. He took me out of that basement to torture me in other ways, wanting to make my life worse than death. Uncle Adrien, you have no idea what I¡¯ve been through these past few days.¡± Kisa¡¯s face quickly showed a mix of sadness and anger. ¡°Ever since he found out that I wanted revenge and nned to kill him, he¡¯s been so erratic and abusive. That day, he even yanked out my hair, and my scalp still has a scab from it.¡± Kisa showed him the scab on her scalp, the one Gilbert had caused when he grabbed her hair. She only felt the pain and never realized it had bled. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Adrien looked grave and asked, ¡°He reallyid his hands on you?¡± ¡°Of course, he is keeping me close just to torture me. Uncle Adrien, do you really think I can earn his trust with how he¡¯s treating me?¡± Adrien patted her shoulder and said, ¡°Let¡¯s stick around for a bit and see. After all, he holds quite a bit of power now, and if we want to get back at him, we¡¯ll have to think of other ways instead of confronting him head-on.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1417 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1417 Chapter 1417 I Don¡¯t Know What I¡¯d Do Without You Kisa gave a firm nod. ¡°I got it.¡± Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Kisa was just about to ask Adrien for a ride when he suddenly took on a righteous expression and told her, ¡°Hold up, Kisa. Why don¡¯t you stay here and see if that guy still cares about you? If hees back for you, it means there¡¯s still hope for you to win his trust. But if he doesn¡¯t, then I cane to your rescue. How does that sound?¡± Kisa¡¯s lips curled up in a stiff smile. ¡®This man is going to extreme lengths to test Gilbert¡¯s feelings for me. On Kerrona Hill, he went to great lengths to gauge Gilbert¡¯s affection for me. It is as if the more Gilbert and I loved each other, the more excited this man became, almost relishing in the idea of us hurting each other.¡® Kisa fought back a sigh and shed him a wry grin. ¡°Sure thing, just Uncle Adrien. I mean, this cemetery is a little creepy, don¡¯t you think? And the sun is setting, so if he¡¯s not back by seven I¡¯ll give you a call and you cane pick me up.¡± Adrien patted her on the shoulder, his smile warm and reassuring. ¡°No problem, Kisa. I will be there for you, just like I would for my own daughter. You can count on me.¡± ¡°Uh¨Chuh,¡± Kisa nodded with appreciation. ¡°Aww, Uncle Adrien, you are a lifesaver! With Jensen out cold, I don¡¯t know what I¡¯d do without you.¡± As soon as the words ¡°I don¡¯t know what I¡¯d do without you¡± escaped Kisa¡¯s lips, Adrien¡¯s attention drifted away, lost in a sea of memories. He stared at her with a nk expression, and for a split second, she morphed into the woman in his memories. He quickly averted his gaze, burying the resentment and bitterness that threatened to surface. Kisa, after all, was just a child of that woman and another man, with no connection to him whatsoever. None at all. Adrien mbered into his car, and it sped away, leaving Kisa behind. She watched it disappear into the distance, her smile fading in tandem. The more Adrien tried to act kindly toward her, the more revulsion she felt toward him. ¡®How had I ever thought this man was as kind¨Chearted as an elder? Perhaps I had ced too much trust in Jensen at the time. Jensen, Jensen¡­ When I return to Calthon, I¡¯ll have to pay him a visit.¡® The winter sky seemed to turn ck in a heartbeat, casting a sinister gloom over everything. The sun, which had been perched on the horizon, had vanished, leaving only menacing tree shadows behind. Kisa hugged her knees and perched on the steps of a flight of stairs. A cold wind swept in from behind, causing her to shudder involuntarily. She sensed a presence behind her but dared not turn around. Instead, she clung to herself, her nerves stretched to the brink of breaking. She waited for what seemed like an eternity, and finally, the sky turned pitch ck. Kisa gathered her courage and spun around, only toe face to face with row upon row of ominous tombstones. Her heart skipped a beat in terror. ncing at her phone, she saw that it was only a little past six. She tried to distract herself by scrolling through her phone, but it abruptly shut down, drained of power. Panic surged through her veins. ¡®With a dead phone, how am I supposed to call Adrien toe pick me up? The remote location makes it impossible to get a taxi.¡® If not for Anthony still up on the hill, she would have been a quivering mess by now. Frozen in ce, she could only wait, hoping that the heartless man would return to find her. ¡®Doesn¡¯t he care about the child growing inside me? Surely, for the sake of the child, he woulde back. Right?¡¯ Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1418 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1418 Chapter 1418 If You Can¡¯t Walk, Then Don¡¯t Kisa instinctively reached out and gently rubbed her stomach, findingfort in the thought of this. Kisa didn¡¯t know how long she had been waiting, but she felt increasingly cold. Her legs and feet were almost numb from the cold. She had nowhere else to go, as there was a long stretch of wastnd outside the cemetery. With her reliance on a cane to even walk now, she knew she couldn¡¯t even entertain the thought of walking out to hail a taxi. After waiting for a long, long time, the chilly wind blew around her, rustling the branches of the trees and pricking at her nerves. She couldn¡¯t tell whether it was the cold or the fear that made her tremble all over. She couldn¡¯t resist looking back, and the more she looked, the more she felt a chill run down her spine. At this point, she even wished Anthony woulde down from wherever he was anyone, really- just so she wouldn¡¯t have to be so scared. With a deep breath, she leaned on her cane and prepared to climb up to find Anthony. It never urred to her that one day she would seek safety from Anthony himself. Kisa raised her cane, ready to make a move, when a beam of headlights suddenly appeared in the distance. Her heart racing, she squeezed the cane tightly, wondering who it could be ¨C Gilbert or Adrien? The car pulled up about 30 feet away, and she held her breath as she watched a figure emerge from the vehicle. As he approached, she felt a wave of warmth spread through her chest ¨C it was Gilbert. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. He hade back for her, just as he promised he would. As Gilbert stepped out of the car, he did not immediately approach her. Instead, he stood there, his eyes fixed on the woman illuminated by the headlights. Her face was flushed from the cold, and she sat on the staircase. Gilbert could not help but feel a mix of emotions as he watched her ¨C relief that he had found her, annoyance that she was just sitting there. The man lurking in the darkness had a heavy scowl on his face. He had not left at all. His car had been parked outside all along, waiting for the woman to step out. But she had stubbornly refused to make a move and had not even bothered to give him a call. ¡®Isn¡¯t she the one who¡¯s scared of ghosts and things that go bump in the night? Yet here she is, brazenly sitting on the steps, defying her fears.¡® The longer Gilbert thought about it, the angrier he got. ¡®I should have just left and let this heartless woman fend for herself!¡® But he could not help bute back. He was a glutton for punishment. He cursed himself in his mind but could not bring himself to step forward. Kisa could not see his face clearly, but she had a hunch that he was in a bad mood. She did not expect him toe over and help her up; the fact that he had evene back to find her was good enough. She reminded herself not to expect too much. She leaned on her crutches to stand up but felt a sharp pain in her knees as she straightened her legs, probably from too long sitting. Her feet tingled like they were being pricked by needles. She almost lost her bnce but managed to steady herself by gripping her crutches tightly. When Gilbert saw her body swaying, his legs acted before his brain. He took a step forward, but quickly retracted it when he saw that Kisa had regained her bnce. Kisa felt a bit frustrated seeing him standing there motionless. ¡®Even if he¡¯s mad at me and doesn¡¯t want to talk to me, I¡¯m carrying his child. Doesn¡¯t he care?¡® She scolded him in her mind, but her face still wore a bright smile. She turned to the man and said, ¡°My legs are numb. Can youe over and carry me to the car?¡± ¡°No!¡± the man replied coldly. Kisa¡¯s smile froze, and she muttered, ¡°My legs are really numb, and I hurt my knee. I can¡¯t walk.¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t walk, then don¡¯t. Keep staying here if you like it so much,¡± Gilbert said as he started to walk toward his car. Kisa panicked and hobbled toward the car with her crutches, enduring the prickling pain in her feet.

The thought of staying in this gloomy, terrifying ce made her skin crawl, and she could not wait to get out of there. Gilbert got into the car and looked at the woman who was quicker to jump into the passenger seat than he was, and sneered, ¡°I thought you couldn¡¯t walk because of your numb legs? But it looks like you can run faster than me.¡± Kisa mumbled under her breath, feeling frustrated, ¡°My legs may be numb, but I¡¯m notpletely disabled, I can still run through the pain.¡± She could not help but think that when Sara and Sharon pretended to be weak in the past, Gilbert was always there to pamper and care for them. But now that it was her turn, he was full of sarcasm and mockery. Besides, she was not pretending, her legs were genuinely numb. Gilbert was just blind and ignorant with poor judgement. Gilbert let out a cold snort and started the car. Kisa nced at him, noticing his tense and cold demeanor, and put on a fake smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you toe back and find me. I thought you really wanted me to spend the night there.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not worried about you, I¡¯m worried about my child,¡± Gilbert replied, devoid of any warmth. She continued to tter him, ¡°The child is in my belly, so he¡¯s essentially part of me. If you¡¯re worried about him, then you are worried about me.¡± He said nothing, but Kisa saw him tightly grip the steering wheel. Suddenly, he mmed on the brakes without warning. Kisa was thrown forward violently due to the sudden stop. If she had not been wearing a seatbelt, she would have flown out of the car. She rubbed her belly, looking ahead to see if he had hit something, but there was nothing in front of them except a deserted area. mming on the brakes like that in the middle of nowhere was really scary. Kisa¡¯s imagination ran wild again. As she sat in the car lost in thought, feeling as though the car was getting colder by the second, Gilbert suddenly spoke up with a cold, sneering voice. ¡°You¡¯ve never been the type to be overly persistent or annoying, Kisa. But look at you now, doing everything in your power to please me and get revenge. No matter how I treat you, you still smile and act all friendly. You are really something, aren¡¯t you?¡± Gilbert looked at her with a mocking expression. ¡°Just how much do you hate me to be willing to lower yourself like this?¡± Kisa pursed her lips and smiled at him. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you already? I don¡¯t hate you anymore. I¡¯vee to my senses, and now all I want is to be with you.¡± She knew he would not believe her, so she dared to speak her true feelings. After everything was over, she would exin everything to him. Gilbert seemed to be enraged beyond measure. His hand on the steering wheel turned a strange shade of blue as he ground his teeth. ¡°You¡¯re still pretending, huh?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not pretending, I¡¯m telling the truth,¡± Kisa replied with a sincere look on her face. But Gilbert only saw mockery and sneers in her eyes. Suddenly, he leaned over and wrapped his arm around her head, pulling her close to him. ¡°You want to kill me so badly, yet you¡¯re still trying to please me with your pathetic attempts at ttery. Why don¡¯t you use your body to seduce me instead, hmm?¡± He spoke with a voice devoid of any emotion, full of only mockery. Kisa stared at his handsome face in disbelief. It seemed like he really hated her now. With one hand on the back of her neck, Gilbert used the other hand to undo her coat buttons.

So why don¡¯t you use your body to do it?¡± the man said as he unbuttoned her coat. His slender fingers reached into her cor, his dark eyes showing no desire, only a mocking grin. ¡°If you want to seduce me, at least put some effort into it, won¡¯t you?¡± Kisa¡¯s heart raced as she gazed deeply into his dark eyes. ¡°Gilbert, please don¡¯t do this.¡± Gilbert chuckled softly, his powerful fingers lingering on her neck, threatening to snap her delicate neck at any moment. ¡°Then tell me, what should I do?¡± Kisa was speechless as his hand tightened around her neck. Despite his smile, she felt more. terrified and vulnerable than when he was angry. ¡°But really, I¡¯m giving you a chance,¡± he continued. ¡°If you can lower yourself and please me, I might even fall for you. And then, you could easily kill me, couldn¡¯t you? Or maybe you¡¯re always thinking about Jensen, so you can¡¯t do this? I¡¯m curious, what were you thinking about when we were together? Did you imagine that I was him?¡± As the man¡¯s words grew more absurd, Kisa felt angry and helpless. She looked deeply into his eyes and said, ¡°I have no romantic feelings for Jensen.¡± Gilbertughed softly. ¡°Which of the wordsing out of your mouth are true and which are lies?¡± ¡°I now¡­ um¡­¡± As Kisa was speaking, he suddenly grabbed her by the back of the neck and fiercely pressed his lips onto hers. His dominant kiss was filled with roughness and aggression, and its dark intensity nearly consumed her. Kisa thought he would torture her, as he had done so many times before, but to her surprise, he kissed her for a few seconds and then pushed her away with force. The impact caused her body to collide with the car door, leaving her slightly dizzy. Frowning, she yelled at him, ¡°Are you insane?¡± Gilbert did not speak, but instead used a tissue to wipe his lips, as if he was disgusted by her breath. This made Kisa extremely angry. ¡°If you are so disgusted, then don¡¯t kiss me. Who asked you to kiss me?¡± He lowered the car window and threw the tissue outside. He then quickly started the car, and a st of cold wind rushed in, mixed with his icy mockery. ¡°Your taste is nothing special.¡± Feeling cold and trembling, Kisa¡¯s face turned red in anger.

If he has the guts, he should never touch me again!¡® She looked outside with indignation, feeling suffocated and her eyes filled with tears. Sheforted herself by thinking that it was her fault for hurting his heart and making him misunderstand, which led him to humiliate her. With this thought, her anger at him dissipated a little. The next day, Gilbert took her on the Kooper family¡¯s helicopter. The private aircraft had been out of commission, but it had just been repaired and flown over, although Kisa did not know if it was fully operational. As she looked around the helicopter, she turned to Gilbert beside her and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we just take a regr flight back?¡± He leaned back in his seat, his long legs crossed with a magazine open on his knee, his eyes fixed on the pages. Kisa thought he would not respond, but to her surprise, he spoke in a rxed tone.

Kisa looked at Davian, surprised to see him alone. ¡°Where¡¯s Felicity? Isn¡¯t sheing with us?¡± ¡°She¡¯s busy with some business here, she¡¯lle find me in Calthonter,¡± Davian replied. He had changed a lot since his past days of being emotionally distant. Now, when he talked about his beloved, his eyes shone with happiness. Kelvin sat behind Kisa and handed her a newspaper. ¡°Have you read today¡¯s news? It¡¯s a big one.¡± Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Curious, Kisa opened the newspaper. It was a report on Anthony, who was said to have gone insane. The report included some photos of Anthony acting wild on the street, tightly clutching a small bottle in his arms. Kisa assumed it was Lea¡¯s ashes. He had finally decided to take her out and about. With this news, Adrien would surely believe that Anthony was truly insane, and would not kill him to keep him quiet. Kisa set the paper aside and looked out the window at the bright scenery. She could not help but feel emotional. This trip had been eventful, but everyone had returned safely, except for Lea. However, she had also discovered Adrien¡¯s true nature and found Sara. The only missing piece was David, whose location she still needed to search for in Oceanville. ording to Vivian¡¯s intel, David had vanished without a trace in Oceanville. As she thought of Oceanville, she thought of the Webb family and Peter, and then of Jolina. Jolina had returned to her hometown for a while now, but Kisa still had not received any news from her. She had a strange feeling about Jolina¡¯s sudden departure. Just then, Kelvin tapped her shoulder from behind. ¡°Kisa, Vivian asked me to give you a message.¡± Kisa turned around, her back to Gilbert, and leaned in toward Kelvin with excitement shining in her eyes. ¡°Is it true?¡± she asked eagerly. ¡°What did she say to you?¡± ¡°She said she¡¯s very grateful to you,¡± Kelvin replied, ¡°She said that without you, she may never have escaped her darkest days. She also said that she¡¯s realized how to live a better life and won¡¯t dwell on that person anymore.¡± Kisa nodded with relief, ¡°I¡¯m d to hear that.¡± ¡°Vivian also mentioned that the person you¡¯re looking for might be in Oceanville. She doesn¡¯t want to search anymore, but she wished you good luck in your quest.¡± Vivian was referring to David. With that said, Kisa knew she must make the trip to Oceanville. Kelvin suddenly became curious. ¡°Kisa, who are you looking for? Tell me, I know Oceanville like the back of my hand. I have connections there, just give me a name and within three days, my people will find them.¡± ¡°Are you familiar with the area?¡± Kelvin raised an eyebrow, pride filling his voice, ¡°Of course I am! I go there often; how could I not be?¡± ¡°Okay, if you have the time, maybe you could¡­¡± Before Kisa could finish her sentence, a stern voice interrupted, ¡°If you two keep on chatting, I¡¯ll have to throw you out.¡± Kisa froze, realizing she had forgotten about Gilbert¡¯s presence by her side. Chapter 1422 Chapter 1422 Chapter 1422 You Won Kisa swiveled her head to sneak a nce at the man who was previously engrossed in his magazine, only to catch him now drifting off to dreand with his eyes closed. She rolled her eyes. ¡®Not even a moment ago, he was as wide awake as an owl. Now, after a quick chat with Kelvin, he decides it is nap time? How petty can he get?¡¯ She seethed with frustration, biting her tongue to keep fromshing out. Kelvin, on the other hand, was livid. ¡°We¡¯re not even yelling, for crying out loud. Can¡¯t we have a normal conversation without you being such a control freak?¡± Gilbert, without even bothering to open his eyes, shot back in a monotone voice, ¡°One more word from you, and I will have Davian toss you out of this aircraft.¡± ¡°How dare he?¡± Kelvin red at Davian, who was busy tapping away at his phone, sending sappy messages to Felicity. Davian grinned sheepishly at Kelvin, then hunched down in his seat to avoid being noticed. Kelvin let out a derisive snort before tugging Kisa by the arm. ¡°Kisa, did you need my help with something? Let¡¯s chat in the back.¡± Kisa nodded and hoisted herself up with her cane. Since nobody was seated next to Kelvin, he walked straight out and then sat in the back row. Kisa was about to follow Kelvin when she realized that Gilbert was blocking her way. She stood there for a moment, but he did not even flinch or make any effort to move aside. Kisa took a deep breath and forced the words out, ¡°Excuse me, Mr. Kooper. Could you please scooch over a bit?¡± Her voice was tight with barely contained rage. Gilbert finally cracked open his eyes and gave her a withering look. ¡°No. Giving way to you so you could seduce Kelvin?¡± Kisa was fuming with anger, and her breaths came in short and sharp bursts. She could not hold it in any longer, and she aggressively rapped her cane on the man¡¯s leg, seething, ¡°You are out of your mind!¡± But Gilbert remained as still as a statue, sitting cool and collected in his seat. Kisa gnashed her teeth and, without a second thought, stormed out of her seat with her head down. But Gilbert¡¯s legs, long and bunched up, were spread out all over the ce, leaving no room for her to squeeze through. And he seemed to be doing it on purpose, unwilling to give her even an inch of space. Kelvin was beckoning to her from the back. Not that Kisa really wanted his help. She just wanted to chat with him about the Mullens and their family instead of sitting next to this frigid iceberg, who was acting like an utter lunatic. She rolled her eyes and muttered, ¡°Move, I need to pee.¡± ¡°Hold it in!¡± Gilbert retorted icily, his tone making it clear that he was not budging. Kisa was beyond furious, her teeth grinding together as she hissed, ¡°You won!¡± Sitting back down in her seat with an angry huff, she did not even have time to catch her breath before Gilbert¡¯s icy voice sliced through the air, ¡°You can be as mad as you want, but please watch your actions and don¡¯t harm my child.¡± ¡°You¡­you¡­¡± Kisa red at Gilbert¡¯s collected demeanor, the anger inside of her simmering for what felt like hours. Suddenly, a sardonic smirk spread across her face, ¡°So you are worried about your kid? Shame he is already cozy in my belly. If you want your little one to be born healthy, happy, and pudgy, then you¡¯d better not annoy me or put me through torture.¡±Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Gilbert¡¯s eyes narrowed dangerously, his body radiating hostility. ¡°Are you threatening me with my child again?¡± ¡®Uh oh, did I identally cross a line? Why do I feel like he¡¯s getting angrier?¡¯ Before he could retaliate, Kisa put on a smile and tried to cate him. ¡°No, no, no. I¡¯m not threatening you, just joking around. After all, it¡¯s my baby too, and I want him to be chubby and thriving.¡± Chapter 1423 Chapter 1423 Chapter 1423 If You Behave Gilbert shot her a piercing re before resuming his meditation. Kisa breathed a sigh of relief, mentally scolding herself for being such a pushover. Despite being the one who was angry, she had turned into a timid mess as soon as Gilbert¡¯s mood shifted. ¡®Ugh, I¡¯m beyond pathetic!¡¯ Suddenly, Kelvin¡¯s message interrupted her thoughts. Kelvin: [Is Gilbert not letting youe over?] Kisa: [Yeah, he¡¯s acting like a crazed lunatic, using me of trying to seduce you.] Kelvin: [Geez, he is seriously off his rocker. I have no idea what this guy¡¯s deal is.] Kisa: [Sigh, never mind. It¡¯s just his usual neurotic behavior.] Kelvin: [Well, let¡¯s just ignore him. By the way, do you want me to take you to Oceanville?] Kisa hesitated upon seeing his message. Gilbert was in no condition to take her there but going alone was risky. She did not know the ce well and did not have any contacts there. On the other hand, Kelvin was familiar with the area and had connections, but he almost died on theirst trip to Athadale. She did not want to drag him into another dangerous situation and risk losing Gracie¡¯s trust. Just then, a slender hand snatched her phone out of her grasp. The sound of her phone notification was still ringing, which meant that Kelvin was still messaging her. Gilbert¡¯s intense gaze was fixed on the chat screen, his handsome face clouded with anger. Kisa¡¯s heart raced as she lowered her head and tried to blend into the background. The chilly air around her was palpable. Kisa muttered in a low voice, ¡°There is nothing interesting on my phone, so¡­ can you give it back to me?¡± Gilbert¡¯s grip on her phone was so tight that it looked like he was about to crush it. He looked at her with a smug expression and said, ¡°You¡¯ve been bad-mouthing me behind my back, haven¡¯t you? Kisa giggled in surprise, ¡°No. I have been praising you behind your back. I¡¯ve only said a few bad things about you, and you just happened to hear or see them, so you always think I¡¯m talking bad about you behind your back.¡± He chuckled coldly. Kisa followed suit, but as theyughed, she could feel the chilling aura around her. Suddenly, he approached her and trapped her between him and the cockpit wall. ¡°So, you really want to go to Oceanville?¡± Kisa looked into his eyes and replied, ¡°Didn¡¯t you promise to take me to Oceanville to meet the Webb family?¡± ¡°That was before. You used to be so obedient, but now¡­,¡± he trailed off as he scanned her from head to toe, and said in a cold tone, ¡°Now you just want to get revenge on me. Who knows if you¡¯ll intentionally cause trouble if I take you there?¡± Kisa pursed her lips, realizing that he would not take her to Oceanville anymore. ¡°But don¡¯t think about asking Kelvin to take you there either. He and Gracie have it hard enough. If you want to do something, that is your business, but don¡¯t drag other people down with you.¡± Gilbert¡¯s icy voice wasced with warning and hatred. Kisa lowered her head and nodded. ¡°I did get him involved this time. But don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t drag him into it again.¡± Seeing the sudden look of self-me and disappointment on her face, Gilbert¡¯s heart inexplicably became restless. He pushed her away and threw her phone back into her arms, grunting, ¡°Davian hasContent held by N?velDrama.Org. already made arrangements with the Webb family in Oceanville. I will go see Mr. Webb in Oceanville in half a month. If you behave, I¡¯ll take you there.¡± Chapter 1424 Chapter 1424 Chapter 1424 Can¡¯t Stand Up Again? Kisa¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him. Gilbert red at her shocked expression and sneered, ¡°What, don¡¯t you understand?¡± ¡°I-I do!¡± Kisa nodded vigorously. ¡°I¡¯ll be good, I promise. Really good.¡± Gilbert rolled his eyes in annoyance and turned away, ignoring her. By the time they arrived back at the Kooper residence, it was already afternoon. Kisa sat nervously in the helicopter, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety. Now that she knew Andrew and Ada were her own children, her feelings toward them were different. Plus, it was the weekend, and the children were not at school. The thought of finally seeing her own children filled her with excitement, but also made her more nervous than ever. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert had already made his way to the cabin door and was annoyed to see Kisa still frozen in her seat. ¡°Can¡¯t stand up again?¡± he sneered. Shaking her head, Kisa stared up at him with a silly grin. She was beyond thrilled that Andrew and Ada were really her children; she felt like she was dreaming. Gilbert huffed in frustration and headed straight for the door. ¡®I told her to be good, not act like a fool!¡¯ he said in his mind. Kisa took a deep breath to calm herself down before following Gilbert off the helicopter. As soon as she stepped off, three little children ran up to her. ¡°Ma¡¯am, Daddy!¡± ¡°Daddy!¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am!¡± Ada pounced into Kisa¡¯s arms, brimming with excitement and vigor that nearly knocked her down. She held on to her cane as Gilbert quickly scooped up Ada to prevent her from falling. Meanwhile, Kisa clung tightly to Ada¡¯s little hand and gave Andrew a look of utter adoration. Gilbert nced over at Kisa¡¯s casted leg and sternly warned the three little ones, ¡°Watch out, Ma¡¯am¡¯s got a boo-boo on her leg.¡± Kisa¡¯s lips curled into a smile as she looked at Gilbert coyly. He felt ufortable and averted his eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t get any ideas, I¡¯m just worried about our unborn baby.¡± Kisa chuckled and did not argue with him. She just gazed lovingly at Andrew and Ada with tender, caring eyes. The more she looked at them, the more she adored them. However, she could not reveal her identity to the children yet, for fear of jeopardizing her n to make Adrien believe that she hated Gilbert and wanted revenge on him. Nevertheless, she was grateful that her children were still alive. Suddenly, a small hand pressed against her stomach. Kisa lowered her eyes and saw ke¡¯s clear, bright eyes. ¡°Ma¡¯am, is the little brother or sister inside good?¡± Looking at ke, Kisa¡¯s heart inexplicably softened. She rubbed ke¡¯s head and said, ¡°Very good. When he is born, he will be as well-behaved as you guys. ke smiled and put his ear against her belly. ¡°Ma¡¯am, I can¡¯t wait for him toe out.¡± ¡°Mm-hmm, when he does, you¡¯ll have to y with him and teach him how to call you big brother.¡± ke nodded vigorously ¡°I will.¡± Suddenly, Madalyn walked over with a stern expression on her face. She looked at Kisa¡¯s injured leg and snorted coldly, ¡°You¡¯re pregnant now, and yet you¡¯re not being careful enough. Let me tell you, it doesn¡¯t matter what happens to you, but you¡¯d better not harm the Kooper family¡¯s offspring Madalyn was as intimidating as ever Kisa remained silent while Gilbert spoke up Grandma, I¡¯m starving. Are we ready to eat?¡± Chapter 1425 Chapter 1425 Chapter 1425 At Least You Still Have A Conscience Madalyn¡¯s sullen face instantly transformed into a kind one as she said, ¡°Yes, yes, yes¡­ I knew you guys wereing back today, so I had the servants prepare some food. Come on in, quick.¡± Madalyn had prepared a huge table full of food, expecting that Davian and Kelvin would stick around for dinner. But, to her surprise, they both slipped away as soon as they got off the helicopter. So, Kisa sat at the big dining table with a few children and Gilbert, feeling warm and cozy inside. Even though the memories of the Kooper residence were not all good for her, she still felt like it was home and full of warmth. Madalyn had always been mean to Kisa and treated her badly, but when it came to her children, including the one still in her womb, she was nothing but kind. She even had the servants make several kinds of nourishing soups for Kisa, who was experiencing morning sickness. The soup bowls were lined up in front of her, and Madalyn said, not so nicely, ¡°I know you¡¯ve been feeling sick, so I had the servants make a few kinds of soup. Just choose the ones you can handle and drink up.¡± Kisa was a little surprised that Madalyn knew about her morning sickness. She wondered if Gilbert told Madalyn about it. So she looked at Gilbert, grinning foolishly. But Gilbert just calmly ate his food and ignored her. ¡°Alright, stop staring and drink the soup while it¡¯s hot. Look at yourself, you are as skinny as a ghost. Let me tell you, I want my great-grandson to be born chubby and healthy,¡± said Madalyn, making Kisa feel a little uneasy. Before Kisa could say anything, Ada suddenly asked, ¡°Great-grandma, what if the future little brother or sister is born chubby and dark-skinned?¡± Andrew could not help butugh and added, ¡°Yeah, Great-grandma, being chubby and dark- skinned is totally cool. Uncle George told me I was chubby and dark-skinned when I was small.¡± ¡°And Uncle George told me I was chubby and light-skinned,¡± said Ada. George was standing to the side, chuckling to himself. Only ke had a glimmer of disappointment sh in his clear, bright eyes when no one was looking. Madalyn could not help but feel irritated at Kisa¡¯s skinny appearance, but her anger was quickly dispelled by the adorable antics of her two great-grandchildren. ¡°Oh well, it doesn¡¯t matter if the baby is chubby and dark-skinned as long as he is healthy,¡± she eximed, before ring at Kisa. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. ¡°Hurry up and drink your soup, or my great-grandchild will go hungry.¡± Kisa wanted to roll her eyes so badly. ¡®I¡¯m a person, not a baby-making machine, but all anyone cares about is the baby,¡¯ sheined in her mind. Still, she obediently uncovered the soup bowl in front of her. There was chicken soup, fish soup, ginseng chicken soup, seaweed and pork rib soup, and lotus root and pork rib soup, but no sweet soup. She could not stand the smell of chicken soup anymore, so she quickly covered it up and settled for a bowl of lotus root soup. ¡°I¡¯ll just have this one. Give the rest to Gilbert. He¡¯s skinny too,¡± she said. Madalyn grinned. ¡°Well, at least you have a little bit of a conscience and still care about him.¡± Kisa wanted to roll her eyes again at the insinuation that she was heartless before, but she could not bring herself to do it. In truth, she could not stand the lotus root soup either. Almost any soup with oil made her feel nauseous. When she was pregnant with Andrew and Ada, she did not have this kind of reaction. Now that she was pregnant for the second time, she was bing more and more sensitive. She furrowed her brows, took a few sips of the soup, and felt so ufortable that she almost threw up. Suddenly, Gilbert sitting two seats away from her sneered coldly. ¡°You¡¯d better drink it all, even if you can¡¯t. Otherwise, I won¡¯t mind force-feeding you like I didst time.¡± The atmosphere became incredibly tense and ufortable. Chapter 1426 Chapter 1426 Chapter 1426 You¡¯re Going to Be a Good Girl, Aren¡¯t You? Gilbert was being stared down by the three children. Andrew said, ¡°Daddy, you can¡¯t be so harsh on Ma¡¯am.¡± Ada said, ¡°Daddy, Ma¡¯am is pregnant. You need to be more considerate.¡± Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. ke said, ¡°Uncle Gilbert, you got to be gentle with Ma¡¯am. She¡¯s not feeling well.¡± Kisa was so touched by the children¡¯s defense of her that she was on the verge of tears. But Gilbert did not let the moment linger, he addressed the children with all seriousness. ¡°I¡¯m doing this for her own good. Do you want to see her looking all pale and gaunt? Or your future little bro or sis all skin and bones?¡± The three little ones all shook their heads in unison. ¡°So, what do you think? Should Ma¡¯am be a good girl and drink her soup?¡± Gilbert asked. Again, the three little ones nodded in agreement and turned to look at Kisa. ¡°Ma¡¯am, Daddy¡¯s right. You got to drink your soup quick.¡± Andrew piped up. ¡°Ma¡¯am, it is for the baby¡¯s sake. Even if you can¡¯t swallow it all, you¡¯ve got to try.¡± Ada added. ¡°Ma¡¯am, Uncle Gilbert is only being tough on you because he cares,¡± ke said. Kisa could not help but roll her eyes, immediately retracting the emotions she had just felt. ¡°Alright, enough with the drama. Drink up already.¡± Madalyn snapped, her words always so cutting and sharp. Kisa let out a sigh and fished out the pork ribs and lotus root from the soup bowl. Without further ado, she tilted her head back and chugged the soup down in one big gulp. Madalyn scoffed, ¡°See, you can drink it just fine. You were just being dramatic earlier.¡± Kisa could not be bothered with Madalyn¡¯s teasing. She had already finished herrge bowl of soup and was full. As she was about to leave, Gilbert¡¯s cold voice drifted toward her. ¡°You have to eat the meat and other stuff too so my child can grow properly.¡± ¡°I¡¯m full¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯ll be a good girl for me, won¡¯t you?¡± Gilbert suddenly looked at her with a faint smile. Kisa clenched her fists secretly. ¡®Good lord, is he really threatening me with his promise to bring me to Oceanville?¡¯ She swallowed her pride and forced a smile, ¡°Uh huh, I was just thinking about wanting some meat too.¡± Gilbert smiled. ¡°It¡¯s good to have a good appetite. Eat more.¡± He then added several pieces of pork and steamed meat to her bowl. As Kisa looked at the half-eaten bowl of meat, she squeezed out a word through her teeth,¡± Thanks.¡± Gilbert smiled casually. ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Madalyn watched their expressions back and forth and had a feeling that something had changed between them after they went out. Later that night, Kisa yed with the children in the toy room for a while before sending them to bed after they had taken a bath. When she returned to her room, it was already past ten o¡¯clock and Gilbert was not there. ¡®He must be in the study,¡¯ she thought to herself. Remembering his promise to take her to Oceanville if she behaved, Kisa limped downstairs without a cane in hand. She could finally walk without the cane now, but her gait was still a little awkward. After some tinkering in the kitchen, she cooked a bowl of chicken soup and slowly made her way to the study with the bowl in hand. As she approached the door, she heard faint voices inside. She tiptoed forward, almost pressing her whole body against the door, and finally heard Gilbert and Madalyn talking about her. ¡°I noticed that you¡¯re acting differently toward that woman this time. Have you finally let go of your obsession with her?¡± Madalyn sat on a chair next to the desk andughed at Gilbert. Gilbert leaned against the back of the chair, staring absentmindedly at themp on the ceiling as if lost in thought. After a while, when Gilbert still had not answered, Madalyn could not help but stomp her crutch and ask angrily, ¡°I asked you a question. What are you thinking about?¡± Chapter 1427 Chapter 1427 Chapter 1427 I Won¡¯t Leave ¡°Hmm.¡± Gilbert suddenly responded in a t tone. Madalyn frowned. ¡°What do you mean by ¡®hmm? Have you reallye to terms with the truth and let go of that woman?¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Gilbert repeated the same sound. Madalyn was pleased. ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good. So, you brought her back to the Kooper residence for the sake of her child, right?¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± ¡°Well, of course. How can the descendants of the Kooper family be left wandering outside? We should let her have the child first and then send her away.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Gilbert seemed to only have this word in his vocabry. Madalyn was happy and did not mind. She stood up with her cane and walked unsteadily to Gilbert¡¯s side, patting his shoulder in relief. ¡°I¡¯m so d you¡¯vee around. After the child is born, just use money to send her away. We¡¯ll have done our utmost for her, considering she¡¯s an unforgivable sinner.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Outside the door, Kisa listened quietly to the conversation. ¡®It turns out that Gilbert really has kept me by his side this time just for the sake of my unborn child. Although she felt a little sad, she thought that once the matter with Adrien was resolved and all misunderstandings were cleared up, hope and warmth would fill her heart. ¡®It will be okay, everything will be fine,¡¯ she thought, taking a deep breath,posed herself, and knocked on the door while holding the chicken soup. Madalyn thought it was George and called out, ¡°Come in.¡± As the door opened, Madalyn¡¯s face immediately darkened when she saw Kisa entering. ¡°Is it you?¡± Madalyn frowned, showing disgust in her eyes. ¡°How long have you been standing outside the door?¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Kisa walked over with the chicken soup, ced it on the desk, and ignored Madalyn. Instead, she stared into Gilbert¡¯s eyes. I¡¯ve been standing for quite a while,¡± her voice was calm and unemotional. Gilbert¡¯s deep ck eyes stared intensely at her, with a coldness floating on the surface. Suddenly, Madalyn mmed the table You have some nerve eavesdropping like that!¡± she eximed, then turned to Gilbert. ¡°You see, Gilbert, I warned you about this woman She¡¯s full of deceit and malice. She probably thought we were discussingpany secrets and was eavesdropping outside the door. A woman like her shouldn¡¯t be kept around, but at least you havee to your senses.¡± Madalyn then turned to Kisa. ¡°You heard everything, so save us the trouble of repeating it. Once the child is born, you should be smart enough to leave on your own.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going to leave,¡± Kisa said firmly. ¡°What?¡± Madalyn cursed in anger. ¡°I knew a conniving woman like you wouldn¡¯t be easy to deal with. Let me tell you, when the timees, whether you want to leave or not, the Kooper family won¡¯t tolerate you.¡± ¡°I said I¡¯m not leaving Gilbert, not that I¡¯m going to cling to the Kooper family forever,¡± Kisa replied, pushing the chicken soup she had cooked specially for Gilbert toward him and smiling at him.¡± This is the chicken soup I made just for you. It is chilly tonight, so drink up and warm yourself.¡± Madalyn was so angry she wanted to spill the soup, but Gilbert stopped her. ¡°Grandma, it¡¯ste. You should rest in your room.¡± ¡°Gilbert, this woman-¡± ¡°I know what I¡¯m doing,¡± Gilbert interrupted, taking Madalyn¡¯s hand andforting her in a low voice. ¡°All I want is the child, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± This statement sounded like he was saying it for Kisa¡¯s benefit. Kisa remained silent. Satisfied, Madalyn nodded and left the room. The room suddenly fell silent, and Kisa seemed a bit uneasy. Chapter 1428 Chapter 1428 Chapter 1428 It¡¯s All So Fake Gilbert stood there, silent as a statue, staring at Kisa with a poker face. Kisa was caught off guard by his stoic demeanor and tried to break the ice by nudging the chicken soup toward him. ¡°Come on, drink it before it gets cold.¡± Gilbert took a cursory nce at the bowl, but kept his arms folded and made no attempt to reach for it. Kisa¡¯s smile stiffened as she wondered what the heck was going on. She probed him with a teasing tone, ¡°Are you asking me to feed you?¡± He still did not budge or say a word. Kisa puckered her lips and lifted the bowl closer to him. She did not mind ying the good girl and indulging his whims if it meant a trip to Oceanville. But before she could spoon-feed him, he suddenly caught her wrist in his hand. His palm was warm, a stark contrast to her cold hands and feet that had been freezing all winter. Gilbert raised his gaze to hers, his deep eyes devoid of any emotion. ¡°Trying to please me?¡± Kisa let out a light chuckle, ¡°Nah, not really. I just thought I¡¯d cook you some chicken soup since it¡¯s chilly outside.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± The man snorted coldly. ¡°Do you actually care about me?¡± With a swift motion, he snatched the chicken soup from her hands and plunked it down on the desk. ¡°I already told you, if you behave yourself and don¡¯t stir up any trouble, I will take you to Oceanville. So don¡¯t try to put up a show to impress me. It¡¯s all so fake!¡± He sneered as he poured the chicken soup into the nearby trash can right in front of her, making sure she saw it. Kisa took a deep breath and kept her mouth shut. Gilbert studied her for a moment and cracked a small smile. ¡°I see. You are ying nice now, just so you can stay close and plot your revenge. You¡¯ve even managed to curb your temper, which is impressive for you. You said you won¡¯t leave me, and I believe you. How could you bear to part ways before you have had your sweet revenge?¡± Kisa hung her head low, staying silent the whole time. Suddenly, Gilbert narrowed his eyes and felt an unbearable restlessness in his heart. He violently swung the empty bowl toward her. ¡°Get out of here!¡± he shouted. The bowl hit her leg, but it did not hurt her. It fell onto the carpet without breaking. Kisa silently bent down to pick up the bowl, feeling sad in her heart. No matter how Gilbert treated her now, she could not me him, as he did not know about her n. She thought after everything was over, she would exin everything to him. As he watched the obedient woman bend down to pick up the bowl, Gilbert felt even more irritated. ¡°You really are something else,¡± he sneered. ¡°You can endure so much just to stay by my side.¡± Kisa forced a smile and suppressed the bitterness and sadness in her eyes. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to see me, then I will leave. Remember to rest early and take care of yourself.¡± Just as she was about to leave, he suddenly grabbed her wrist. ¡°You act so caring and loving toward me. Why don¡¯t you do something practical?¡± he said, turning around and pushing her onto the desk. Kisa was shocked, and before she could react, he pressed his lips against hers with a thick and vengeful vibe. His hands wandered freely over her body, causing her to feel pain in her back and abdomen. Worried about her unborn child, she struggled and pped the man¡¯s shoulders, letting out a continuous whimper. Perhaps her resistance angered him, as he suddenly stopped and flung her onto the carpet. Kisa looked at him with a pitiful gaze, wondering if the thick carpet would cushion her fall enough to protect her child. The man irritably loosened his cor, lit a cigarette, and turned his back to her. ¡°Get out!¡± he ordered coldly.Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 1429 Chapter 1429 Chapter 1429 Give Me Some Advice Kisa slowly got up from the ground and hobbled out with the empty bowl in her hand. ¡°This man seriously misunderstood me,¡± she thought. ¡®No matter what I do, he thinks I have some ulterior motive. Well, I guess I¡¯ll just have to be a good girl and do nothing for a while.¡¯ She opened the door and could not help but nce at his back before leaving. Only when the sound of the door closing echoed did Gilbert turn around, looking at the empty study. Suddenly, he kicked the chair with frustration. ¡®This is so damn annoying! That woman is a pain when she¡¯s here, and even more so when she¡¯s not!¡± Back in her room, Kisa called Adrien. ¡°Uncle Adrien, have you returned to Calthon?¡± Adrien was in his club, holding Carolyn in his arms. Carolyn had already divorced Christopher and moved in with her daughter. To please him, they even gave all their shares of The Case Group to him. Adrien gave a cold nce at Carolyn and said to his phone, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m back. What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°I just wanted to ask what I should do now. I can¡¯t stand being around Gilbert anymore. He is cruel, cold-hearted, and unpredictable. I just want to get revenge and leave this ce as soon as possible. Uncle Adrien, you said you would help me. Can you give me some advice on how to make him suffer?¡± Kisa pretended to be desperate for revenge so that Adrien would reveal his true intentions. Adrienughed gently into the phone. ¡°Just wait a little longer. You have only just returned to the Kooper family. When the time is ripe, I¡¯ll tell you what to do. Don¡¯t worry, if I say I will help you, I will definitely help you.¡± Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for your instructions.¡± Kisa hung up the phone and leaned back on the bed, lost in thought. She was waiting for Gilbert to return to the room, but little did she know that he had witnessed her conversation with Adrien. Gilbert stared intently at the surveince monitor, his hand resting on the edge of the desk tightly clenched into a fist. He had seen Adrien at the cemetery yesterday, and he knew that Kisa and Adrien were plotting against him. But he did not confront her, and he even allowed her to continue with her ns. ¡®Heh! Let¡¯s see how far that woman will go to harm me.¡¯ A cigarette dangled between his fingers, the smoke filling the room and gradually shrouding his face in a veil of darkness and restraint. ¡®When I thought she would forgive and forget and be with me, her asional disys of affection and tenderness turned out to be all fake. She wants me to lose everything, to be in agony. Her goal has never changed, despite my repentance and love. She is even more heartless than I imagined.¡¯ He exhaled a smoke ring and gazed out at the chilly night sky. Images of the girl pestering him to do homework came flooding back to his mind. Those were the good old days. Meanwhile, in the club, Carolyn was unhappy when Adrien answered the phone. When he finally hung up, she snatched his phone away. ¡°Who was that? You sounded pretty cozy,¡± she said, flipping through Adrien¡¯s phone. A cold glint shed in Adrien¡¯s eyes. He took a drag on his cigarette, smirking but saying nothing. Carolyn quickly found Adrien¡¯s call history with Kisa, and her eyebrows furrowed. ¡°What¡¯s your rtionship with that little tramp? Why did she call you? Is she trying to seduce you?¡± Chapter 1430 Chapter 1430 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. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. 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. Chapter 1431 Chapter 1431 Chapter 1431 You Have No Right to Hate Her Gilbert furrowed his brows, thinking of something. He turned around and sure enough, there was Kisa descending the stairs, wrapped in a coat. Even with the coat on, she still looked fragile and delicate. ¡°What are you doing down here? Don¡¯t you know it is freezing out there?¡± Gilbert chided her, feeling irked that she could be so careless. Kisa just grinned and replied, ¡°I wanted to see what you guys were talking about.¡± She looked at Christopher. She was done with her father, the emotional attachment she once felt had evaporated with every instance of his unfair treatment toward her. She barely nced at Christopher for a few seconds before redirecting her gaze, shing a smile at Gilbert. ¡°It is freezing out here with the snow. Let¡¯s head inside, shall we?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Gilbert nodded and gently supported her as they walked into the house. Christopher¡¯s heart raced as he saw the situation unfold before him. Desperately, he reached out and grabbed Kisa¡¯s arm. ¡°Kisa, please help me. I¡¯ve lost everything. I know I¡¯ve let you and your mother down, but I¡¯m still your father. Won¡¯t you help me out?¡± His voice trembled with emotion as he nearly fell to his knees. Kisa fixed him with a steely gaze, her expression unyielding. ¡°Help you? How exactly am I supposed to do that?¡± Christopher hesitated for a moment before blurting out, ¡°I need you to help me take back The Case Group from Adrien.¡± Kisa let out a derisiveugh, shaking her head in disbelief. ¡°You want me to help you take on Adrien, taking back The Case Group from him? Tell me, how am I supposed to do that?¡± As Kisated, Christopher¡¯s heart sank lower and lower. Days of depression and breakdown had piled up and finally broke him. Suddenly, with bloodshot eyes, he shouted at Kisa, ¡°I know you still hold a grudge against me from before and won¡¯t help me! You¡¯re just a treacherous person who turns your back on your family, just like your mother. I should have left you to starve on the streets instead of bringing you back to the Case family. You¡¯re an ungrateful wretch, just like your mother!¡± Kisa¡¯s face turnedpletely cold, but her tone was unusually calm, ¡°You¡¯re right, I won¡¯t help you. Mr. Tanner is very powerful and has everything. Why should I fight against him for you and your small Case Group? Don¡¯t you have a good daughter named Sharon? Why don¡¯t you go ask her for help? You¡¯ve loved her for so many years, it¡¯s time for her to give you some payback, isn¡¯t it?¡± Kisa¡¯sst two sentences dripped with sarcasm. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Christopher red at her with eyes zing red, a look that was far from the gaze of a father to a daughter, but Kisa did not care. She was used to it by now, knowing she would not see any in this man¡¯s eyes, not even the fake kind. She brushed off Christopher¡¯s hand, turned around, and went inside. Christopher watched her back disappear into the house, seething with hatred and anger. Gilbert stood in front of him, his tone icy, ¡°You have no right to hate her, nor do you have the right to demand anything from her, because she doesn¡¯t owe you anything. Behave yourself and don¡¯t cause any trouble, and I will take care of your retirement. But if you dare to have any wicked thoughts, don¡¯t me me for being heartless.¡± Gilbert¡¯s voice was ominous, carrying a strong warning. Christopher was genuinely scared, and his malicious expression softened a little. He stared at Gilbert who was walking into the house and watched therge door of the Kooper residence shut behind him before bursting into tears and covering his face. Adrien sat in the car outside, watching the scene quietly, a smug and contented smile creeping onto his lips. ¡®This is just the beginning, and I can¡¯t wait for what¡¯s next.¡¯ ¡°You, go call him up here,¡± he instructed. Chapter 1432 Chapter 1432 Chapter 1432 Just Treat Her as His Wife The driver immediately jumped out of the car after receiving Adrien¡¯s orders. Adrien¡¯s sharp eyes glinted with malice as he watched Christopher emerge from the Kooper residence. He thought to himself, ¡°Those who caused me to lose everything back then won¡¯t get off easy!¡± Christopher refused to get in the car, his eyes fixed on the man inside with disgust. Adrien, smoking his cigarette, chuckled softly, ¡°If you want to know why your daughter won¡¯t help you, then get in the car.¡± With a disgusted spit, Christopher finally got in. As they drove away, Gilbert watched the taillights disappear into the night, his brows furrowing. Kisa walked downstairs, shivering from the cold. She turned on the heater and looked at the man¡¯s tall figure with a sense of distance. After thinking for a moment, she whispered, ¡°I never thought Christopher woulde looking for you. He brought his downfall upon himself, so you don¡¯t have to help him.¡± Gilbert reached out his hand toward the window, trying to catch the snowkes, but to no avail. He turned around with a face devoid of any emotion and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t n on helping him either.¡± Lowering his eyes, he rubbed the melted snowkes in his palm and spoke slowly, ¡°Taking back The Case Group from Adrien¡¯s hands wouldn¡¯t be easy. I¡¯d have to use GK¡¯s financial power and influence to confront him, and in the end, GK would suffer losses. So, I won¡¯t do anything stupid that doesn¡¯t benefit me.¡± Kisa nodded and smiled nonchntly, ¡°You¡¯re right. We don¡¯t have to make sacrifices for someone who has nothing to do with us.¡± Gilbert gazed at her and said, ¡°He¡¯s your father.¡± ¡°I¡­ never had a father, only a mother. That man is just a blood rtive,¡± Kisa replied as she walked toward him. He had been standing outside for some time, and his shoulders were damp. Kisa took off his ck coat and tilted her head with a smile, ¡°It¡¯ste. Shouldn¡¯t we go to bed?¡± Her innocent smile was infectious. For a moment, Gilbert forgot all his troubles and resentments. He saw her as his wife and his beloved woman. But when he tried to draw closer to her, her hatred toward him and the things she had said to Adrien came back to him, and he could no longer deceive himself. He took two steps back and let go of her shoulders. ¡°You should rest. I still have work to do,¡± he said, almost without looking at her as he turned and walked away. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Kisa hurried after him, but her injured leg made her stumble and fall to the floor. Gilbert heard the noise, stopped his steps, but did not turn around. His tall figure seemed more distant in her eyes. She began to worry about misunderstandings. ¡®But what can I do now? If I try to exin he¡¯d only doubt me more. The only way is to show him the truth,¡¯ she thought. She grasped the nket on the ground tightly and asked, ¡°It¡¯s sote and you¡¯re still working?¡± ¡°Hmm, you go to sleep. My child needs rest,¡± Gilbert replied before leaving. Kisa sat on the floor for a while before getting up and walking toward the bed. Shey down with her eyes open, unable to sleep. In the study, Gilbert stared at the surveince monitor with a cigarette in hand, smoking one after another. Chapter 1433 Chapter 1433 Chapter 1433 Helping Absolve Him of me His forehead creased with worry lines. She could not sleep, and neither could he. Sometimes, he felt like keeping this woman around was nothing but torture. But he could not bring himself to let her go, he could not bear to see her leave. The next day, the snow stopped, but the ground was left wet and slushy. Kisa was a little disappointed. As she descended the stairs, she was surprised to find Gilbert still at home. Her disappointment vanished instantly. Limping over to the table, she smiled at him and asked, ¡°You just got home?¡± ¡°Mm,¡± Gilbert replied indifferently, his eyes never leaving the newspaper. The servant soon brought a nutritious breakfast, along with a bowl of bone broth. The soup smelled terrible, but Kisa obediently drank it to please her man. Just as she finished, Gilbert put down the paper and said emotionlessly, ¡°Don¡¯t go out these days. Behave yourself. I will take you to Oceanville.¡± The resentful look in Christopher¡¯s eyesst night and the car that disappeared into the night I made him feel cautious. After all, even a rabbit will bite when cornered. Kisa nodded obediently and smiled at him in a pleasing way, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be good.¡± Gilbert turned his head away and did not want to look at her fake smile. But what he did not know was that it was her most sincere smile. He returned his gaze to the newspaper. Kisa nced at him and whispered, ¡°I won¡¯t run around these days, but I want to see Jensen. Will you¡­ will youe with me?¡± Gilbert unconsciously clenched the newspaper. Kisa exined nervously, ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong. I just want to see him. We stayed in Athadale for so long, and we never visited him.¡± ¡°Even if you go, you might not be able to see him,¡± Gilbert put down the paper and said to her in a t tone, ¡°Have you forgotten Mia¡¯s hostility toward us?¡± Kisa lowered her gaze, remaining silent. Despite knowing that Mia harbored ill feelings toward her, she couldn¡¯t help but long to see Jensen. It had been so long since shest saw him, and she wondered how he was doing now. Gilbert could not help but feel a twinge in his heart as he saw the woman before him with a crestfallen expression. He suppressed his temper and offered in a teasing tone, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll apany you to see him.¡± Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Kisa lifted her head in surprise. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°I, the culprit who hurt him, am going to see him. Do you think it is appropriate?¡± Gilbert¡¯s voice was filled with self-deprecation. Kisa shook her head emphatically. ¡°I know it wasn¡¯t you who hurt him. It was either an ident or a conspiracy that no one knows about.¡± Gilbert let out a scoffingugh, his heart brimming with bitterness. ¡®How amusing it is that she is so eager to please me that she will go out of her way to absolve me of me.¡¯ Helping Absolve Him of me Ignoring hisughter, Kisa turned to him and said, ¡°Give me a moment. I¡¯ll go upstairs and change.¡± Watching the excited figure of the woman limping upstairs, Gilbert chuckled silently once again. Although the snow had stopped, the windless and rainless weather was still extremely cold. Kisa wore a long down jacket, while Gilbert only wore a ck windbreaker. Unable to resist, she reached out to hold his hand and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you cold, wearing so little?¡± But as soon as she asked, she realized his hand was unusually warm. Gilbert withdrew his hand and coldly snorted at her. ¡°What¡¯s the point of wearing so much? Your hands are still as cold as a corpse.¡± The warmth in Kisa¡¯s hand suddenly disappeared, and her eyes dimmed, but she still wore a rxed smile on her face. ¡°Ha-ha, I have a cold body. I really can¡¯tpare to you men.¡± She finished speaking and got into the car, while Gilbert suddenly turned around and walked back into the house. Chapter 1434 Chapter 1434 Chapter 1434 As Kisa waited outside the empty gate, she could not help but wonder if she had said something wrong to drive Gilbert away. After waiting for about ten minutes, she saw him walking out of the house again. As he got into the driver¡¯s seat, she suddenly felt something warm in her embrace. Looking down, she saw that it was a hand warmer. ¡°You¡­¡± Kisa tried to express her gratitude, but before she could say anything, his cold voice interrupted her. ¡°Hold it tight. I don¡¯t want my child to be cold.¡± Kisa took a deep breath and all her emotions turned into frustration. As the car started moving, she drew patterns on the foggy window. Without turning her head, she whispered to Gilbert, ¡°Were you willing toe with me to see Jensen because you were worried about me?¡± ¡°No,¡± Gilbert replied coldly. ¡°I just happened to have some free time, and I didn¡¯t want you to do something foolish that could harm my child.¡± He had been particrly harsh with hertely. Kisa had just drawn a smiling face on the car window, but as soon as she heard what was said, she hastily wiped it away and reced it with a frowning face. As she turned around, she shed a smile at the man and quipped, ¡°Is it really that hard for you to say something sweet to make me feel better?¡± ¡°Why should I make you feel better?¡± Gilbert asked, his tone as cold as ever. ¡°Because I¡¯m pregnant. When I¡¯m happy, our baby will be happy too.¡± Gilbert remained silent. He despised the smile on her face. ¡®She despises me with every fiber of her being and secretly plots my demise, yet she can still ster a fake smile on her face and act as if nothing is amiss. It¡¯s almostical to see her go from murderous rage to sweet and harmless. Talk about being two-faced!¡¯ The car was driving smoothly, and it was warm inside. Kisa leaned back on her seat and fell asleep without realizing it. When she woke up again, the car was already parked outside a vi. There was no one in the driver¡¯s seat. She looked around outside and noticed that Gilbert was leaning against the front of the car, smoking a cigarette. She felt that he was bing more and more addicted to smoking. Holding her hand warmer, she opened the car door and got out. A gust of cold wind blew, making her shiver. She walked over to him and said, ¡°Did we arrive a long time ago? Why didn¡¯t you wake me up?¡± Gilbert looked at her with deep eyes, without any emotion. His handsome face was still cold. ¡°If I wake you up, I will wake up my child. Kisa curled her lips, thinking the man had so many excuses. Gilbert extinguished his cigarette and turned the hat on her down jacket over her head with his hand. ¡°It¡¯s warm in the car, and you slept just now. You¡¯ll get sick if you keep doing this.¡± Kisa suddenly smiled. ¡°Are you worried about me?¡± ¡°If you get sick, my child will suffer too. So take care of yourself.¡± He finished speaking and walked away, taking big steps into the yard. Kisa pulled her hat tighter, feeling angry that he could not even lie to her. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Upstairs, Mia smiled at the man next to her. ¡°They havee to see you.¡± Jensen hid in the dark corner, with only the bright spot of the cigarette between his fingers seen. His hands were slender and well-proportioned, shapely, but they were also too pale. His voice was a bit hoarse. ¡°You go handle it. It¡¯s not time for me to step in yet.¡± ¡°How long do you n to hide it from her?¡± He did not say anything. Mia thought for a moment and asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to see her?¡± He exhaled a puff of smoke and said nonchntly, ¡°She¡¯s mine after all. It doesn¡¯t matter if I don¡¯t see her right now.¡± Chapter 1435 Chapter 1435 Chapter 1435 Mia looked down, masking the disappointment in her eyes. This man¡¯s personality had changed drastically since waking up ¨C bing sinister, unpredictable, and cold-hearted. He wanted more than just the Kooper family; he wanted Kisa too. She did not know what impact the car ident had on him, but he had always hated the Kooper family. Yet, he had never truly sought revenge on them, let alone thought of hurting Gilbert. Even if he loved Kisa, he would never have any indecent thoughts toward her because of his rtionship with Gilbert. But now everything was different. He was like a demon hiding in the darkness, waiting to emerge after everything settled to select what he wanted, including wealth and women. ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave for now. You should smoke less. After all, your body hasn¡¯t fully recovered.¡± No response. Miaughed bitterly, not surprised at all. She admitted that her love was too insignificant, so much so that she did not care about anything as long as she could stay by his side. ¡°Hey, what brought you two here today?¡± Kisa looked at Mia with mixed emotions. ¡°We are here to see Jensen. How¡¯s he doing?¡± Mia sat on the sofa, holding ady¡¯s cigarette between her fingers. She took a deep drag and sneered, ¡°He lies in bed in aa all day. What do you expect?¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Kisa looked down and apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Mia felt guilty after hearing Kisa¡¯s apology. She looked away, snorting, ¡°I¡¯m not the one who is in a coma. Don¡¯t apologize to me.¡± Gilbert frowned and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m the one who caused him to end up like this. If your want to me someone, me me.¡± Mia finally nced over at Gilbert. She had big red lips, red nails, and her hair was dyed a chestnut brown withrge curls, making her look especially seductive. But Gilbert did not even give her a second look. Mia smiled at him and said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, you really love your wife. I just saw upstairs that you¡¯d rather stand outside in the cold for two hours than disturb your wife¡¯s rest. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Good men like you are hard to find these days.¡± ¡®Two hours?¡¯ Kisa looked at Gilbert in surprise. ¡®He stood outside for so long. No wonder he was so cold.¡± ¡°Stop the crap.¡± Gilbert looked at Mia with a calm tone but with a hint of undeniable coldness. ¡°Tell me, can we see him today?¡± Mia lowered her gaze and smiled with determination. ¡°No.¡± Gilbert got up instantly. ¡°Then, excuse me.¡± Kisa was still sitting on the couch without moving. Gilbert looked at her and could not help but sneer. ¡°Why are you still sitting here? If she won¡¯t let us see him, why bother? Of course, if you can¡¯t resist your feelings for him, you can beg this woman to let you go up and see him. I won¡¯t apany you.¡± After saying that, he strode outside. Kisa watched his back in silence, unable to speak. Mia yed with her newly polished nails and said with a faintugh, ¡°He has gone. You better hurry and follow him. I don¡¯t have time to send you back.¡± Kisa got up and limped to her. Mia stared at her stiff leg for a while and sneered, ¡°What is wrong? Your leg is crippled after just one trip? It¡¯s retribution, isn¡¯t it? Look, even heaven pities Jensen, it can¡¯t bear to see you so happy Kisa sighed slightly and said seriously, ¡°Actually, Jensen¡¯s ident has nothing to do with Gilbert.¡± Chapter 1436 Chapter 1436 Chapter 1436 Mia¡¯s face twisted into a sneer; her eyes cold as she spoke. ¡°Kisa, how much do you love Gilbert to still be defending him at this point? You¡¯re such a fake and insincere woman, aren¡¯t you? Your words about revenge were nothing but lies. I can¡¯t believe Jensen is into someone like you. You may not want to avenge him, but don¡¯t you dare defend a killer.¡± Despite the cause and effect of that ident being unknown, she firmly believed that it was all because of Gilbert¡¯s relentless pursuit that led to the tragedy. Kisa shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not defending him. I¡¯m simply pointing out that there may be more to this ident than what meets the eye. Adrien had Jensen hide the warden, and he deliberately leaked that information to Gilbert through Lea. Gilbert¡¯s pursuit of Jensen led to the ident, so it is possible that this was all part of Adrien¡¯s twisted scheme. Jensen is not the kind of person to lose control of a car like that, especially not with his driving skills. Someone must have tampered with the car.¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Mia¡¯s expression grew even colder as she listened, her mind racing with disbelief and anger. ¡°How could it be possible?¡± She murmured to herself, ¡°It¡¯s impossible, this can¡¯t be happening. Jensen is his¡­¡± Kisa shook her head, her voice unwavering. ¡°I¡¯m not saying Jensen had anything to do with it, Mia. I¡¯m saying that someone else may have manipted the situation. You need to start thinking outside of the box and considering all the possibilities.¡± Mia¡¯s fists clenched at her sides, and she took a step closer to Kisa. ¡°You¡¯re not wee here anymore. Leave and don¡¯te back until you have something useful to say.¡± Kisa held her ground, her eyes shing with defiance. ¡°I won¡¯t let you silence me, Mia. I¡¯ll continue to investigate until we find out the truth, even if it means going against Gilbert himself.¡± The tension between the two women was palpable, and neither was willing to back down. As Kisa turned to leave, the air was thick with unresolved anger and suspicion, and the shadow of danger lurked just beneath the surface. Mia raised her head and smiled at Kisa. ¡°He doesn¡¯t want to see you. Now that you and Gilbert are so in love, seeing him will only hurt him. Even if he¡¯s in a vegetative state, he can still sense it. So, it¡¯s better if you just don¡¯t see him.¡± Kisa pursed her lips and didn¡¯t push any further. She let out a sigh and looked at Mia¡¯s alluring eyes. ¡°Mia, can you tell me about Jensen¡¯s rtionship with Adrien?¡± Mia¡¯s hand paused in mid-air as she was about to take a drag from her cigarette. After a moment of hesitation, she said with a faint smile, ¡°It¡¯s nothing special, just a boss and subordinate rtionship. Jensen used to work under him, that¡¯s all.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Kisa didn¡¯t know if she should believe her, but what choice did she have? After all, what kind of rtionship could there be between Jensen and Adrien? Adrien was not the Kooper family¡¯s heir. Mia nced at the empty doorway and smiled at Kisa. ¡°There¡¯s not a sound outside, it looks like your man has left. Do you want me to find someone to take you home?¡± ¡°No, thank you.¡± Kisa shook her head. She felt that Gilbert was still waiting for her outside. After all, he cherished the child in her womb. She suddenly looked at Mia seriously. ¡°Are we¡­ friends?¡± Mia¡¯s hand holding the cigarette became stiff once again. She seemed uneasy, scratching her hair and saying, ¡°Why are you asking me such sappy questions today?¡± Kisa remained silent but stared at Mia intently. Mia couldn¡¯t stand her gaze. On one hand, she despised this woman, but on the other hand, she had to admit that her eyes were very clear and bright, making her heart tremble. She took a drag from her cigarette and averted her gaze, saying unnaturally, ¡°If you say we are, then we are.¡± Chapter 1437 Chapter 1437 Chapter 1437 Kisa chuckled, ¡°Well, that¡¯s it. I hope what I said to you today won¡¯t get back to Adrien¡¯s ears, because he still looks like a kind elder in front of me.¡± Mia pursed her lips. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t want to get involved in your business. Right now, I just want to stay with Jensen.¡± Kisa pursed her lips. ¡°I hope Jensen wakes up soon.¡± She had so many questions she wanted to ask Jensen. ¡°That¡¯s enough. Whether he wakes up or not, it¡¯s not up to you. You¡¯d better leave now. Don¡¯te back unless necessary. No matter how many times youe, I won¡¯t let you see him.¡± ¡°You are quite bossy.¡± Kisaughed. ¡°Hey, you stole all the men. How can I not be bossy?¡± Kisaughed but felt incredibly sad inside. They could not spend Christmas Eve together again this year. The promise seemed impossible to fulfill. Mia returned to the second floor. Jensen was still sitting in that dark corner, cigarette in hand, and the room was filled with smoke. His addiction to cigarettes had never been so strong, and he had not felt the need to smoke until Kisa came into his life. It was as if her absence left a void in his being that only the smoke and the ritual of lighting up could fill. Mia opened the door wide and half -opened a window. The weather was getting colder. She took a nket and covered his legs. He looked at her with an unchanging gaze. ¡°She left?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Mia nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, ¡°Jensen, did your car break down that day?¡± Jensen did not say anything and just smiled a sinister and sad smile. Mia¡¯s heart sank. ¡®Didn¡¯t his smile confirm Kisa¡¯s im? Could it really be Adrien?¡¯ She asked, ¡± Why? You were his-¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°His what?¡± Jensen¡¯s smile turned ominous. ¡°Just a tool for his revenge. What did you think it was?¡± As Mia looked at his smiling face, her vision became blurry. She looked away, feeling a deep sense of sadness and pain. Downstairs, outside the yard, Gilbert was indeed waiting for Kisa. He leaned against the car door, with a cigarette constantly between his fingers. Kisa stood with her hands in her pockets, waiting for him to finish his cigarette before walking over. But before she could reach him, a car suddenly honked at her from a distance. Kisa was startled and turned her head unconsciously. It was Christopher, who leaned out of the car window and waved at her. ¡°Kisa,e over here, I have something to tell you.¡± Kisa frowned. ¡®Is he still not giving up? Does he want Gilbert to help him regain The Case Group? No, I have to make it clear to him. I can¡¯t let him keep bothering Gilbert. It was his own fault for ending up like this. Why should Gilbert and I have to pay for the sinsmitted by Carolyn and her daughter? She passed by Gilbert¡¯s car and walked straight toward Christopher. Gilbert furrowed his brows tightly, staring at Christopher. There was an out-of-character kindness on Christopher¡¯s face. Gilbert remembered his cold and hateful expression fromst night and the car that disappeared into the night. He clenched his cigarette tightly, his nerves unconsciously tense. ¡°Kisa¡­¡± He could not help but call out to her. ¡°What is wrong?¡± Kisa looked at him instinctively. Suddenly, Christopher suddenly started his car and drove straight toward Kisa. Gilbert¡¯s face changed drastically, and he rushed over without hesitation. Gilbert clutched Kisa tightly as they rolled on the ground, the sound of the car¡¯s tires screeching in their ears. Christopher¡¯s eyes were filled with a manic intensity as he gripped the steering wheel with all his might, his mind consumed with a sickening mix of hatred and malice. Chapter 1438 Chapter 1438 Chapter 1438 ¡°Do you know why your daughter wouldn¡¯t help you? It¡¯s because she is working with me now. She wants you to be ruined, with nothing left. How could she possibly help you?¡± ¡°The truth is, she asked me to seduce your wife, and she asked me to take down The Case Group from you, because she wants to avenge her mother.¡± ¡°You¡¯re such a pathetic father. In the end, you were humiliated by your own flesh and blood.¡± Adrien¡¯s words echoed in Christopher¡¯s ears, pushing him further toward the edge of insanity. He quickly turned the car around and headed straight toward the two of them. Kisa¡¯s face turned pale. Gilbert quickly picked her up and pushed her toward the greenery on the side. As the car approached at breakneck speed, Gilbert dodged out of the way, but was still hit hard by the right side of the car. Kisa¡¯s heart was pounding so fast she thought it would stop. She screamed ¡°Gilbert!¡± and watched as Christopher drove away. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she red at the car disappearing in the distance. But as she turned her gaze away, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar car parked not far away, under the shade of a tree. She frowned, feeling that the person sitting inside the car was Adrien. ¡®Christopher is my father, and no matter what, he won¡¯t hate me enough to want to kill me, unless Adrien said something to him. If it really is Adrien who is causing trouble, what is his goal? Is he intentionally leading Christopher to hell, or is he using him to test how much Gilbert cares for me? This is not the first time Adrien has used such tricks.¡¯ Her mind was racing, and she tried to keep her emotions under control as she rushed toward Gilbert. Gilbert¡¯s arm was badly injured, and he had several abrasions andcerations on his body. She suppressed her worries and asked him calmly, ¡°Are you okay?¡± Seeing the indifferent look on her face, Gilbert withdrew his hand and muttered, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± It seemed like he was in a lot of pain, as he gritted his teeth. With Adrien possibly watching them from the sidelines, Kisa did not want to linger any longer. She helped Gilbert and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back and have Kelvin take a look at your wounds.¡± However, Gilbert still pulled his hand away coldly. She pursed her lips and decided not to bother him anymore, simply following him into the car. Upstairs, Mia breathed a sigh of relief as she watched their car drive away. She nced at the man in the corner and said with a faint smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. She¡¯s fine. It is just that¡­¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. She lowered her eyes and toyed with her nails, her voiceced with sarcasm and sadness. ¡°Why do fathers these days always want to kill their own children? Is it because the children did something wrong, or is it because they don¡¯t deserve to be called fathers?¡± Jensen said not a word, but he snapped the cigarette between his fingers. Adrien watched the scene with little emotion in his eyes, but his lips curved into a triumphant smile. He looked toward the direction of the second floor, and a hint of mixed emotions shed in his eyes. After a long moment, he exhaled a smoke ring and said to the driver, ¡°Drive.¡± Gilbert¡¯s arm was bleeding heavily, and blood was seeping out of his sleeve. Kisa was extremely worried and had notified Kelvin on the way. When they arrived back at the Kooper residence, Kelvin was already waiting at the entrance. As they got off the car, Kisa wanted to help Gilbert, but he pushed her away roughly and said, ¡°Get lost! I don¡¯t need your fake concern!¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1439 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1439 Chapter 1439 Kelvin nced at Kisa¡¯s mournful face and then at Gilbert¡¯s dark expression, choosing to stay silent. Madalyn was frantic about Gilbert¡¯s injury, but when she saw his contemptuous behavior toward Kisa, a glimmer of satisfaction flickered in her eyes. Two servants helped Gilbert up to the upper floor, and Kisa followed quietly. As soon as they reached upstairs, Gilbert tossed his coat aside, revealing arge rip on the sleeve and bloodstains around it. Madalyn saw Gilbert¡¯s bloody hand, fuming with rage. ¡°What the hell happened? He was fine a moment ago. Why is he like this now? Did that woman have something to do with it?¡± Madalyn¡¯s finger pointed at Kisa, her voiceced with anger. Kisa remained tight-lipped. Gilbert was irritated and spoke in a muffled voice, ¡°It was just an ident, and nobody¡¯s responsible for it.¡± Madalyn wanted tosh out again, but Gilbert¡¯s surly expression held her back. All she could do was hope that Kisa would give birth soon and stay away from her grandson. After Kelvin finished bandaging Gilbert¡¯s arm, he left two bottles of medicine for Kisa, instructing her, ¡°He has multiple scratches on his body, but the arm wound is the most severe. Change the dressing daily, and don¡¯t let it get wet.¡± Kisa nodded promptly. Gilbert snorted. ¡°Why are you telling her? I can handle it myself.¡± Kelvin smirked. ¡°Why bother when you have a wife to take care of you?¡± He just wanted to joke with Gilbert, but as he saw the cold and fierce look in his eyes, and the creases of anger between his brows, he nervously chuckled and did not dare to say anything else. He approached Kisa, noted her pallid complexion, and casually asked, ¡°Are you alright? Do you need a checkup?¡± Gilbert nced at Kisa inadvertently. Without waiting for her to speak, he turned to Kelvin and said, ¡°Check her out. I want to know if my child is okay.¡± Kelvin chuckled to himself. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give her a detailed examination.¡± Madalyn went to call the servant to prepare some bone broth. Kisay down next to Gilbert, letting Kelvin do the examination. Gilbert seemed to be very repulsed by her and immediately moved to the side. Kelvin found his behavior strange. After all, it used to be him who was always chasing after Kisa, but now that Kisa was approaching him, he was starting to avoid her. He knew that something must have gone wrong between them in Athadale, but neither of them said anything. After a thorough examination, Kelvin¡¯s face suddenly turned serious. He looked at Gilbert and said, ¡°Oh no, there is something wrong with Kisa¡¯s body.¡± Gilbert¡¯s face sank, but he said nothing. Surprised, Kisa asked Kelvin, ¡°What is wrong?¡± Then she panicked and asked, ¡°What about my child? Is my child okay?¡± Kelvin did not look at her, but just stared at Gilbert. ¡°Kisa probably doesn¡¯t have much time left. Treasure the remaining time with her, and say what is in your mind as soon as possible. Don¡¯t let any regrets remain.¡± Gilbert stared at him for a moment, his deep ck eyes making Kelvin¡¯s hair stand on end. He stammered, ¡°Y-y-you don¡¯t look at me like that.

A heavy sense of gloom surrounded him, and his eyes were half-closed. Kisa stared at him, her eyes wide open, fixated on his chiseled jawline. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Gilbert spoke. ¡°Did you wish for me to be hit by a car just now?¡± Kisa blinked, then shook her head. ¡°No, of course not.¡± Gilbert¡¯s lips twisted into a cold smirk. ¡°Really? You may not want me dead, but you certainly don¡¯t seem to care if I suffer.¡± Kisa sat up and reached for his wounded arm. ¡°You are bleeding badly. Let me help you.¡± ¡°Get away from me,¡± Gilbert snapped, his arm iling. Kisa was thrown off the bed andnded hard on the floor, her stomach hurting from the impact.

Kisa said nothing but turned her back to him andy down on the bed, rubbing her stomach. Her stomach was hurting, but she tried to convince herself that it was not that bad. Maybe if she justid down for a bit, it would go away. Gilbert gazed at her silhouette, agitated beyond measure. He got up and staggered out of the room, mming the door shut behind him. She looked back and felt a pang of sadness. This silent treatment was unbearable, and she had no idea what Adrien was plotting. She wished he would just make a decisive move to end it all. Kisa drifted off to sleep. Later, she was awakened by the shrill ring of her phone. The room was still dimly lit, and the gray sky outside seemed to match her mood. She fumbled for her phone and saw that it was Adrien calling. ¡°Kisa, are you okay?¡± She feigned confusion and asked, ¡°Uncle Adrien, why are you suddenly asking me this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s your dad,¡± Adrien said. ¡°He came to mest night, and I think he¡¯s lost his mind. He said he wants to kill both you and your sister because you won¡¯t help him. I thought it was just crazy talk, but today I followed him and saw him try to run you down with his car. Are you okay?¡± Had she not seen through this man¡¯s true face, she would have been easily fooled by his seemingly sincere and harmless words. Suppressing a coldugh, Kisa obediently replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Gilbert got a few cuts and bruises, but he¡¯ll be okay.¡± Her casual tone fooled Adrien into thinking she was not worried about Gilbert¡¯s injury. As expected, Adrien had been the one spying on them from the shadows. Adrien was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°I¡¯m d you are okay. However, from what happened, it is clear that Gilbert still cares about you.¡± ¡°So what if he cares about me, Uncle Adrien? As I have said before, I won¡¯t let go of the hatred in my heart, no matter how much he cares.¡± ¡°I understand, but why not take advantage of this opportunity and feign concern for him? Act like you care about him. If he trusts you again and confides everything to you, even thepany¡¯s secrets, won¡¯t it make it easier for us to seek revenge?¡± ¡°Feigning concern for him?¡± ¡°Exactly, look at yourself today. He got hurt trying to save you, yet you treated him so coldly. Isn¡¯t that pushing him even further away?

Kisa pretended to hesitate for a moment before reluctantly agreeing. But inside, she was thrilled. Finally, she would not have to put on an act of indifference toward Gilbert in front of Adrien anymore. Meanwhile, in the study, Gilbert sat in front of the surveince monitor, lips curled in a contemptuous sneer. He tilted his head back and took a long swig of the wine, his cold, crimson eyes narrowing in disdain. ¡®Feigning concern for me? She is a born actress, and her charade is executed with precision. If I hasn¡¯t installed the surveince, I would have been fooled again. Why does she enjoy manipting people so much? Which of her words are even genuine? Later that evening, Kisa sat in her room, her dinner served on a tray by the diligent servant. She asked about Gilbert, but the servant reported that he was in the study, and his dinner had been brought to him. Kisa had considered seeing and talking to him, but her fear of his wrath held her back. After finishing dinner, the three children came running to her. Kisa yed with them for a while. but soon the sky grew dark. She then helped the three of them take a bath. Even after that, the children were still wide awake, sitting on the bed and reading storybooks. Ada suddenly piped up. ¡°Ma¡¯am, when are you going to marry my daddy?¡± The question caught Kisa off guard, but she looked at Ada and replied tenderly, ¡°Why do you want me to marry your daddy?¡± ¡°Because I want to call you mommy,¡± Ada said. Andrew chimed in, ¡°Me too! I want to call you mommy too!¡± Kisa¡¯s heart swelled with emotion. She touched the children¡¯s heads and whispered, ¡°If you want to call me mommy, you can. I would like that very much.¡± The children¡¯s faces lit up with joy. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Can we really call you Mommy?¡± Kisa smiled and nodded. ¡°Of course.¡± She then said in her mind, ¡®You are my children.¡± ¡°Mommy!¡± ¡°Mommy!¡± The two children immediately rushed into her arms, tears streaming down their faces as if they had been hurt or remembered something sad.

Andrew hugged her waist tightly and added. ¡°Yes, Ada and I finally have a mommy, and you can never leave us again.¡± Kisa hugged them lovingly and could not help but curse Gilbert in her mind. ¡®How could he bear to hide the truth from these children who miss their mommy so much?¡± Meanwhile, ke watched Kisa, Andrew, and Ada quietly from the side. He did not cry or make a fuss, but his small mouth was tightly pursed into a straight line. There was a touch of loneliness and restraint on his delicate face that did not match his age. Kisa noticed him and could not resist asking, ¡°ke, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ke quickly shook his head. He wanted to leave, but Kisa grabbed him. ¡°What¡¯s bothering you, ke? You can tell me.¡± ke still shook his head. From the very first time she saw him, Kisa could not help but feel a sense of heartache for this child. She always sensed that he was too mature for his age, bottling up his emotions inside. Kisa pulled him in for a hug and asked, ¡°ke, do you miss your mom and dad?¡± ke quickly looked up at her and then lowered his gaze. ¡°No, I don¡¯t miss them,¡± he replied, knowing that his parents were right there with him.

He longed to do the same, but he was too afraid of what might happen if he acknowledged his biological parents. His godparents had warned him that it could put everyone in danger, and while he did not understand why, he did not want to take any chances. But then Ada tugged on his hand and beamed up at him. ¡°ke, you can call her Mommy too! We¡¯re all Mommy¡¯s good children.¡± ke looked at Kisa. Kisa nodded in agreement. ¡°Yes, ke. You can call me Mommy if you want to.¡± For a moment, ke hesitated, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. But then he shook his head.¡± Ma¡¯am is enough for me.¡± Kisa thought he was missing his biological mother, and without pressing him further, she reached out and gently ran her hand over his hair. ¡°ke, we all care about you. You can talk to us about anything that is bothering you.¡± Andrew put his arm around ke¡¯s shoulder, looking like a protective older brother. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± he said with a warm smile. ke looked up at them and said with a deep nod, ¡°I love you guys too.¡± Kisa gathered the children in a warm embrace. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, she felt her maternal instincts kicking into overdrive these few days. After putting the child to sleep, it was already ten o¡¯clock. She stood in the empty room for a while, struggling to suppress the urge to go and find Gilbert. He did not want to see her now, so she thought she should avoid angering him. She closed the door behind her and headed toward the bed, when suddenly she heard running watering from the bathroom. Kisa shuddered and quickly turned around to look in the bathroom. There was a tall figure imprinted on the frosted ss door, and it was not anyone other than Gilbert. She felt a wave of joy in her heart, but then remembered that his arm was injured, and he could not touch water. She hurried to the bathroom door and knocked, but there was no response. Perhaps the sound of water was too loud, drowning out the sound of her knocking. Kisa knocked again and shouted, ¡°Gilbert, are you in there?¡± Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Still, no answer came. She tried to turn the door handle, but it would not budge. The door was locked from the inside. She pursed her lips and turned to leave Suddenly, she heard the door opening behind her. She did not have time to react before a strong force pulled her into the bathroom. In the mist of steam, she was pushed against the cold and damp wall by the man. His eyes were bloodshot, and she could smell the strong scent of alcohol on him. He had been drinking heavily Gilbert was shirtless, and she saw his arm covered in bloody bandages. Her heart sank. ¡°Why did you remove the bandages and let water get into the wound? What if it gets infected?¡± Kisa said anxiously as she held his arm, intending to treat the wound. Gilbert harshly shook her hand off and pushed her against the wall. His voice was hoarse and sinister. ¡°Do you really care about me?¡± Kisa nodded vigorously. ¡°Yes, I do care about you. Come on, let me help you apply medicine.¡± ¡°Hehehe¡­¡± Gilbert suddenlyughed, with a hint of drunkenness and a frightening malice. ¡°Do you care about me? That is probably the most fake thing I have ever heard.¡± ¡°Gilbert¡­hiss!¡± Kisa felt a sudden sharp pain as Gilbert fiercely covered her lips. This was not a kiss. He was angry and almost biting her. Kisa tasted the metallic taste of blood, which made her stomach churn with nausea. Chapter 1443 Chapter 1443 Chapter 1443 However, her struggling and retching only made Gilbert narrow his eyes with a cold gaze. He suddenly pushed her away and shouted at her, ¡°If you¡¯re disgusted by me, why bother pretending to care about me? Why bother trying to please me? Get out, just get out!¡± He was clearly drunk and seemed to have forgotten about the baby in her womb. His push was powerful, and the bathroom floor was slippery. Kisa stumbled several steps but managed to grab onto the nearby sink to prevent herself from falling. She looked at Gilbert in horror, only to see him standing there with one hand on his hip, the other against the wall, exuding a terrifying aura. His arm was still bleeding, and the injured flesh had turned white from being soaked in water, a gruesome sight to behold. Despite everything, Kisa was still concerned about his well-being. She took a deep breath and cautiously approached him. From behind, she wrapped her arms around him, holding him carefully and tentatively. Gilbert did not push her away this time, but only sneered. Kisa rested her face against his back and whispered, ¡°I really care about you, a lot.¡± All she got in response was another sneer. She closed her eyes and then moved around to face him. His eyes were still bloodshot, his dark expression more frightening than ever. The suppressed anger seemed like it could erupt at any moment. Kisa touched his face, trying to kiss him. She kissed his lips, his Adam¡¯s apple, and his chest. She could feel his reaction bing more intense. Her actions grew bolder. The sneering above her head grew colder. ¡°You¡¯re really making things difficult for yourself by trying to please me against your own will.¡± ¡°I¡¯m willing. I¡¯m not making things difficult for myself,¡± Kisa murmured vaguely. She just wanted to calm this man down, to make him rational again. Suddenly, her body was lifted into the air, and in her panic, she met the man¡¯s mocking gaze. Without saying a word, he carried her toward the sink. Kisa woke up in the middle of the night and realized she was in bed. Her stomach felt fine, but the marks on her body were clear as day. She put on her robe and looked at the man beside her in the dim light of the wallmp. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. She had fainted in the bathroom earlier. He had been barely kind enough to carry her back to bed. He had been drinking and they had done the deed, and now he was sleeping soundly. The wounds on his arm were still exposed, making it look even more ghastly. Kisa quietly got out of bed and went to find the medical kit. Gilbert was fast asleep andpletely defenseless. She carefully applied medicine to his wound and then proceeded to bandage it up. He had several injuries on his chest and shoulders, so she took care of those as well. As she was about to withdraw her hand, arge hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. Kisa was startled and raised her eyes to meet his deep and intoxicating ck eyes. He did not say a word but looked at her deeply before closing his eyes and falling back asleep. Kisa stared at therge hand on her wrist, her mind in turmoil. She covered his hand with hers and whispered softly, ¡°Soon, after I have taken care of Adrien, we can be together.¡± The next day, Kisa woke up to find the bed empty. She asked the servant and found out that Gilbert had left early in the morning. There was a newspaper on the table. She picked it up and realized that Christopher had been arrested by the police. They caught him at the wharf, carrying a briefcase of cash, ready to flee. He was charged with attempted murder of her and Gilbert. Kisa stared at the newspaper with a heavy heart filled with doubt. Chapter 1444 Chapter 1444 Chapter 1444 ¡®If the car ident from yesterday was indeed Adrien¡¯s doing, then it had to have been a twisted test of Gilbert¡¯s love for me. But why bring Christopher into the mix? Christopher is his enemy, someone far harder to control than someone on his own team. If the only purpose was to test Gilbert, Adrien could have easilymanded one of his own people to do it.¡¯ ¡®So, why Christopher? Could it be that Adrien had a more personal score to settle with Christopher, and testing Gilbert was just a side show? It seems this is just the beginning of Adrien¡¯s nefarious schemes. It was clear that he had ulterior motives when he first approached Carolyn. And now, he has the whole of The Case Group in the palm of his hand. Everything seems like it¡¯s part of Adrien¡¯s sick revenge plot against Christopher. But what could Christopher have done to Adrien to warrant such an borate, over-the-top retaliation?¡± Kisa was deep in thought. In the afternoon, Kisa was heading to the detention center, escorted by Davian. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, I¡¯m at your service. If you want to go anywhere, just tell me, and I¡¯ll take you there.¡± Kisa raised an eyebrow. ¡°Aren¡¯t things busy at thepany? Doesn¡¯t Gilbert need your help?¡± ¡°Thepany isn¡¯t busy right now,¡± Davian said. ¡°If it is not busy, then why can¡¯t Gilbert find time to see me?¡±. Davian hesitated. ¡°I bet he doesn¡¯t want to see me,¡± Kisa muttered sullenly. Davian¡¯s mouth hung open, unsure of what to say. He had only been informed by Gilbert earlier this morning that he would be staying at thepany for the time being. So, Kisa¡¯s guess was spot on- Gilbert really did not want to see her. The car pulled up to the entrance of the detention center. Davian turned to Kisa and said, ¡°Mrs. Kooper, only one person can go in. Please go ahead, and if you need anything, just call for me out loud.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kisa responded as she turned and walked into the detention center. She waited at the visitation area for a while, and soon saw Christopher being led toward her. His eyes were bloodshot, and the look he gave her was one of pure hatred. ¡°What are you doing here, you two-faced scoundrel?¡± Christopher immediatelyunched into a vicious verbal attack as he approached her. Thankfully, there was a ss panel between them, or Kisa would have suspected he might havee at her physically. Kisa just calmly watched him. This man was usually cowardly and pathetic, but now that he had lost everything, he suddenly had some backbone. She felt a mix of irony and sadness. She asked Christopher, ¡°What if it was Sharon who came to see you?¡± As she mentioned Sharon¡¯s name, Christopher¡¯s eyes softened slightly. Kisa wanted tough bitterly. ¡°Unfortunately, your beloved daughter is now calling another man her father!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Christopher suddenly mmed his fists on the table. The police officer nearby warned him with a stern whack of his baton, and he quieted down a bit. Kisa¡¯s eyes were filled with sarcasm. ¡°Why do you want to kill me? If you are looking to me someone for your misfortunes, it was Sharon and Carolyn who ruined your life. Why don¡¯t you go after them instead? I¡¯ve never done anything wrong to you. Even if you were heartless toward me, because of our blood ties, I¡¯d still take care of you in your old age. And even when you pass away, I¡¯d still make sure you areid to rest with respect. But you, you actually want to kill me?¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. ¡°Heh, heh, heh¡­ how righteous of you,¡± Christopher sneered. ¡°You are just like your mother, a hypocrite. Your mother promised to live a happy life with me, but in the end, she cheated on me behind my back. You and your mother are just a pair of sl*ts!¡± ¡°Enough! You have no right to talk about my mother like that!¡± Kisa¡¯s chest heaved as she tried to contain her rage and sadness. Her mother¡¯s life had been practically ruined by Christopher and Carolyn, and she could not bear to hear him insult her like that. She gathered herposure and looked at him coldly. Chapter 1445 Chapter 1445 Chapter 1445 ¡°I came here just to ask you, why did you suddenly have the intention to kill me?¡± Kisa dared not mention Adrien. She was afraid that Christopher would tell Adrien, and then Adrien would know that she was suspecting him. All the disguise and deceit she had done so far would be in vain. Christopher did not answer. He hung his head low, as if thinking. ¡°I know you hate me, but now you have nothing. You can¡¯t beat me. We have no grievances or enmity, and I don¡¯t want to make things difficult for you. I¡¯ll give you some money. Tomorrow, leave here by boat and don¡¯t interfere with Carolyn and my life anymore. Also, it¡¯s best not to mention me in front of Kisa. Otherwise, I can¡¯t guarantee the safety of your darling Sharon.¡± Adrien¡¯s words echoed in his ears. Adrien had spoken in a low and friendly tone, but Christopher was not a fool. He understood the subtle warning clearly. His attempt to kill Kisa had just been a momentary impulse of anger. He resented her for being ungrateful and teaming up with outsiders to harm him. But he regretted it now; he should have left Calthon with that money in the first ce. But now things had happened, and it was toote for regrets. He looked up at Kisa and suddenly yed the family card, ¡°Kisa, I know I was wrong. Will your forgive me? Will you and Gilbert withdraw thewsuit and spare me?¡± Looking at the man in front of her suddenly changing his attitude, Kisa remained unmoved. She spoke each word coldly, ¡°Tell me why you wanted to kill me, and I will withdraw thewsuit.¡± ¡°Why else?¡± Christopher said angrily, ¡°I am your father, and you, as the CEO¡¯s wife of the mighty GK, are unwilling to help me, and even instigate others to harm me. Do you think I shouldn¡¯t kill you?¡± ¡°Instigate others?¡± Kisa sneered, ¡°Who told you that?¡± ¡°Why would I need someone to tell me? You¡¯ve been holding a grudge against me because of your mother¡¯s affair, always wanting to take revenge on me. Did you think I didn¡¯t know? Now that I¡¯m down and out, are you finally happy?¡± Kisa¡¯s expression turned dark as Christopher refused to mention Adrien¡¯s name, almost as if he was being threatened by Adrien. She had hoped that if he brought up Adrien, she could ask him about their rtionship and any grudges they might have had. But now that Christopher refused to speak about Adrien, she felt like she had no reason to ask. She looked at Christopher, realizing that she could not ask anything more, and stood up to leave But Christopher snapped, shouting at her, ¡°You ungrateful wretch! If you don¡¯t drop the charges, you will be struck down by divine retribution. You¡¯ll face the consequences!¡± Kisa¡¯s lip curled in a cold sneer. ¡°If anyone¡¯s going to be struck down, it should be Sharon,¡± she retorted. At that moment, she could hardly believe that Christopher was her father. They say that a tiger doesn¡¯t eat its own cubs, but Christopher was proving to be an exception. She ignored Christopher¡¯s angry outburst and walked out without looking back. ¡°Kisa,e back! You must drop the charges. I¡¯m your father, your biological father!¡± As she reached the door, Kisa could still hear Christopher¡¯s mournful wailing. She looked up at the blue sky, feeling no emotional fluctuations. She thought to herself, if only her mother was still alive. After getting into the car, Davian asked, ¡°Mrs. Kooper, are you going back home now?¡± ¡°To the hospital.¡± Davian looked panicked. ¡°What is wrong, Mrs. Kooper? Are you feeling unwell?¡± ¡°No, I just want to do a pregnancy checkup.¡± Davian breathed a small sigh of relief. As he started the car, he quietly sent a message to Gilbert.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Chapter 1446 Chapter 1446 Chapter 1446 Kisa was feeling nervous as she waited for her first prenatal examination. Memories of her previous pregnancy flooded her mind, but they were not pleasant. Gilbert, her partner at the time, had been unsupportive and uncaring. She had no idea what to do, so she spent most of her time resting at home and never bothered to go for a checkup. She did not even know if she was carrying one or two babies. As she sat in the waiting room, Kisa watched the other pregnant women with their husbands and felt envious. She wished Gilbert were there with her too. Finally, it was her turn for the ultrasound, and she handed the report to the doctor. To her relief, the doctor said her baby was developing very well. She mentioned that she asionally experienced pain in her belly. The doctor advised her to avoid strenuous exercise and to rest more. Kisa could not help but think of Gilbert¡¯s crazy behavior the night before and shuddered. She was grateful that the baby was okay. Kisa looked carefully at the ultrasound report. The images didn¡¯t show much, just a gestational sac. But the size of the sac was very clear. As Kisa looked at the ultrasound report, she was so lost in thought that she identally bumped into someone. The report slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. She quickly bent over to pick it up, but a hand picked it up before she could. That person was wearing a men¡¯s watch on his wrist, and no matter how she looked at it, it felt familiar. She looked up and was shocked to see Gilbert standing in front of her. ¡°W-What are you doing here?¡± Gilbert remained silent; his eyes fixed on the ultrasound report. He struggled to make sense of the fuzzy images and turned to Kisa and asked, his voice indifferent, ¡°Is everything alright with our baby?¡± Kisa refused to let Gilbert¡¯s coldness get to her and shed him a smile. ¡°No worries,¡± she said. The doctor said that everything is developing well. But¡­ I guess I have to take it easy now, no more intense workouts for me.¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Kisa could not help but wonder if he had any clue about what ¡®intense workouts¡¯ means. She stole a quick nce at him. He remained unfazed, his eyes scanning the ultrasound report. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally broke the silence and uttered, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Aftering out of the hospital, Davian who was originally waiting for her had already left. As Kisa sat in the passenger seat of Gilbert¡¯s car, the silence between them was suffocating. And just as she was contemting breaking the silence, Gilbert spoke up. ¡°Christopher has been arrested.¡± Kisa was taken aback for a moment before nodding and saying, ¡°I know.¡± ¡°It was I who reported him,¡± he said, his voice almost monotone. Kisa remained calm, and she simply nodded in response. ¡°I won¡¯t drop the charges,¡± said the man, staring straight ahead with a t voice. ¡°If he can try to kill you once, he could do it again. I don¡¯t want my child to be in danger.¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°I understand. I don¡¯t want you to drop the charges either.¡± Gilbert seemed surprised by her response and nced at her involuntarily. She forced a smile, one that did not quite reach her eyes. ¡°He¡¯s not my father, just a blood rtive.¡± Gilbert tightened his grip on the steering wheel and did not say anything else. As they pulled up to the Kooper residence, Kisa got out of the car, only to find that Gilbert was not following suit. She bent down and looked at him in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± she asked. ¡°I¡¯ll be staying at the office for a while. When it¡¯s time to go to Oceanville, I¡¯lle back to get you.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart sank. She knew what this meant ¨C Gilbert did not want to be around her anymore. She just nodded and watched his car disappear from view, and she could not help but feel a sense of sadness and longing. Madalyn took all of this in and sneered at the side. ¡°My grandson finally came to his senses. Don¡¯t think about seducing him again. Now the only reason that he hasn¡¯t driven you away is because of the child in your belly.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1447 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1447 Chapter 1447 Kisa stared at Madalyn in disbelief. ¡°You used to like me too. I just can¡¯t wrap my head around why you¡¯re treating me like this.¡± Madalyn sneered, ¡°If you can¡¯t figure it out, then don¡¯t bother trying. Just remember to stay away from my grandson and stop causing him any more trouble.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand what I¡¯ve done wrong.¡± Madalyn¡¯s face darkened. ¡°You have no right to know. Just be smart and have the child, then get out of here!¡± With that, she stormed into the house, leaving Kisa standing alone in the yard. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. After settling Adrien¡¯s affairs, Kisa realized she still had to find a way to break down Madalyn¡¯s walls. ¡®But what is Madalyn hiding? And why is she so guarded about the past?¡¯ Gilbert was truly heartless. He had not shown his face to her for a whole week. Madalyn med Kisa for driving him away, so Kisa kept things to herself, staying in her room and avoiding any unnecessary confrontation. Christopher¡¯s fate hung in the bnce as he remained locked up in the detention center. Carolyn and her daughter had abandoned him, leaving him to fend for himself. Kisa felt nothing but sarcasm in her heart. She did not want to bother with this anymore, regardless of what verdict Christopher would receive in the end, she didn¡¯t care. As night fell, Kisa¡¯s phone rang. It was Adrien, calling her once again, choosing the darkness to avoid Gilbert¡¯s watchful eyes. Little did he know, Gilbert had been absent from her side for the past few days. ¡°Kisa, how¡¯s your rtionship with Mr. Koopertely?¡± Adrien asked over the phone. Kisa thought for a moment and replied, ¡°He has been quite distant with me these days. I don¡¯t know what is going on with him. I¡¯ve been trying to please him, but he still seems to dislike me. Anyway, I don¡¯t care anymore. If worstes to worst, I¡¯ll just go down with him.¡± Kisa intentionally spoke in a very extreme ruthless tone. Adrien seemed to have fully believed Kisa¡¯s hatred toward Gilbert. He quickly said, ¡°You must not do anything foolish. With my help, you will definitely get your revenge.¡± Adrien paused and continued. ¡°By the way, I heard that your father has been arrested. I don¡¯t think Mr. Kooper will drop the charges. Do you want to save your father? If you do, I can help you.¡± Kisa frowned. ¡®Why does Adrien suddenly act like a kind and benevolent person in front of me? Is he testing me?¡® After weighing the situation for a while, she replied, ¡°No need. Since he wants to kill me, he¡¯ll definitely strike again. For my own safety, it¡¯s better for him to stay behind bars. I visited him a few days ago and asked him why he wanted to kill his own daughter. Can you guess what he said?¡± The phone went silent for a moment. Kisa squeezed the bedsheet, and her lips were full of sarcasm. ¡°He said that i worked with others to harm him, that I was greedy and that I had been conspiring with outsiders to get back at him.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Adrien eximed, ¡°How could he think that? You¡¯re his own daughter.¡± ¡°I know, right? I can¡¯t figure it out either. As a father, how could he be so suspicious of his own child? Uncle Adrien, they say a tiger doesn¡¯t eat its own cubs. Why is he so heartless that he won¡¯t even spare his own child?¡± There was silence on the other end of the phone. Suddenly, Kisa had a look of realization on her face. ¡°Oh, sorry. I forgot that Uncle Adrien, you don¡¯t have children. You probably wouldn¡¯t understand Christopher¡¯s way of thinking and acting.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1448 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1448 Chapter 1448 Adrien held the phone to his ear, the other hand clenching a cigarette. Smoke swirled around him, enveloping his brooding andplex expression. He smirked, a sardonic glint in his eye. ¡°Well, I haven¡¯t been a father, so I can¡¯t answer your question.¡± Kisa sighed, resigned. ¡°Never mind. Maybe he never saw me as his daughter. He used me of scheming against him, but when I asked who that ¡®someone¡® was, he couldn¡¯t provide an answer. It was all just his paranoid delusion.¡± Adrien flicked ash from his cigarette, a wry smile ying on his lips. ¡°Maybe you¡¯re right.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about him. Honestly, he¡¯s not much of a father to me. You are kind and good to me, and sometimes I wish you were my father instead.¡± Adrien¡¯s smoking hand paused mid¨Cair. His thoughts drifted as smoke filled the air, mingling with his memories. ¡°If only we had a daughter, our son would have a sister.¡± ¡°I love daughters too, so you have to give me another one.¡± Adrien¡¯s mind returned to the present. ¡®Daughter?¡® Adrien chuckled softly, theughter sounding somewhat unreal. ¡°If you don¡¯t mind, you can call me your godfather.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°Really?¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes lit up with feigned excitement. ¡°Godfather!¡± ¡°You can¡­call me Dad, if you want.¡± Adrien¡¯s voice was deep and rich yet shrouded inplex emotions that he could not quite put into words. Kisa did not think too much and only wanted to gain his trust and make him rx as much as possible. She shouted softly into the phone, ¡°Dad!¡± Adrien¡¯s vision instantly blurred at the word ¡°dad¡°. That face from his memory surged in his mind, stirring up emotions that he dared not recall but had been deeply ingrained in him. Through the phone, Kisa naturally could not see Adrien¡¯s expression or know what he was thinking. She paused for a moment before asking, ¡°Uncle Adrien, oh no, I should call you godfather. Godfather, is there something you need from me tonight?¡± She felt that Adrien¡¯s call was not just about testing her knowledge of Christopher. Adrien said nothing and exhaled smoke rings. His eyes were somewhat unfocused, his thoughts drifting away, until Carolyn walked in. His face instantly returned to normal, and his experienced gaze became sharp and cold. ¡°See how much Mr. Kooper trusts you. If you have the chance, try to steal some of GK¡¯s secrets. It¡¯ll test his attitude toward you, and we can slowly empty GK. What do you think?¡± ¡°Okay, I will find an opportunity.¡± ¡°Okay, that¡¯s all. Get some rest.¡± After hanging up the phone, Kisa stared at the night outside the window. ¡®Is Adrien starting to make his move? Of course, I can¡¯t really let Adrien empty GK. To put on a show for Adrien and make him reveal his true colors, GK has to be emptied. But not by Adrien. I have toe up with a way to both help Gilbert keep GK and make Adrien think that GK is really going to copse.¡± ¡°Adrien, who are you calling again?¡± Carolyn was very suspicious and controlling. She did not dare to make Adrien angry, but she was even more afraid of him abandoning her, so she was always suspicious. When she saw Adrien making a call, she wanted to check his phone. Adrien indulged her and allowed her to check it. ¡°Hey, why are you calling that little b*tch again?¡± Carolyn sounded somewhat dissatisfied. Adrien held her in his arms, but his eyes quickly shed with a coldness. He chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m using her to steal from GK.¡± Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1449 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1449 Chapter 1449 Carolyn¡¯s eyes brightened as she heard Adrien¡¯s words. ¡°Wait, did I hear that right?¡± she asked. Adrien chuckled, his smile looking a little too forced. ¡°If you don¡¯t want me to contact her, then we¡¯ll drop the matter. We already have The Case Group, and my family¡¯s business is more than enough to support you and Sharon. We don¡¯t need the Kooper family¡¯s GK.¡± Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Carolyn¡¯s tone turned urgent. ¡°What are you talking about? GK is a big deal in the media industry. The Case Group doesn¡¯t evene close to it. Adrien, did you mean what you just said? If you can really get GK, then I won¡¯t interfere with you contacting that little¡­ girl.¡± Adrien¡¯s lips curled in amusement. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Everything is under my control. Just wait for me to give you GK as a dowry.¡± Carolyn¡¯s face lit up with a smile, and she looked like a young woman again, full of happiness and excitement, which did not quite match her age. But she did not notice the sneer and coldness in Adrien¡¯s eyes. After a few more days passed, Gilbert still had not returned. Kisa could not help but miss him. One night, she stared at Gilbert¡¯s number for what felt like an eternity, but she could not bring herself to dial it. She threw her phone aside and let out a sigh. After a while, she got up from her bed and headed toward the door. Gilbert was not home, which was convenient for her to go to the study to look for any information on GK. She needed to do something to make Adrienpletely trust her. confidential It was already past eleven at night, and everyone in the house had gone to bed. Kisa made her way to the study with ease. The room was spotless, but there was still a lingering scent of the man she missed. Theptop on the desk was still open, as if he had just stepped away for a moment. Kisa stood there for a moment, feeling lost, before starting to search for any confidential GK files. The bookshelf was filled with mostly finance and career¨Crted books, a few collections of essays, and some basic GK data. Kisa searched through the bookshelf for a while but found nothing. She was familiar with the study but did not know if there was a hidden safe or anything of that sort. She searched the bookshelf again, then crouched down and pulled open the cab underneath. In the past, she had only picked out a few books from the shelf and had never looked inside the cab. As she pulled open the cab, a safe appeared before her eyes. Kisa was stunned. ¡®So, there is a safe in the study after all,¡® she thought. The safe was embedded inside the cab. She stared at the lock for a while, then tried to open it. She first tried Gilbert¡¯s birthday digits, but it did not work. Then she tried Andrew and Ada¡¯s birthdays, but still no luck. She crouched in front of the cab door, thinking for a moment, before trying her own birthday. With a click, the cab door opened. Kisa widened her eyes in disbelief. ¡®Gilbert has used my birthday for the safe code. Does he really trust me so much that he isn¡¯t afraid I would peek into his secrets?¡® Suppressing her shock andplicated emotions, she took out the documents from inside and started to read them. Almost all of them were confidential GK files. ¡®Does Gilbert really trust me, or is he testing me by giving me such a good opportunity to steal the information inside?¡® Little did Kisa know; Gilbert was watching her every move from hisputer screen. Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1450 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1450 Chapter 1450 Gilbert¡¯s dark eyes glistened with a hint of coldness and self¨Cmockery. He took a heavy drag of his cigarette and his lips curved into a sad smile. In the video footage, Kisa made a copy of a document and put the original back in the safe. It was only when she left the room that Gilbert finally looked away. He tilted his head to the ceiling and a faint chuckle escaped his lips, filled with self¨Cderision. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. He knew that Kisa¡¯s presence in the Kooper residence was to take him down, but he had foolishly believed that she would not be so heartless. Now he had no choice but to face the truth. He seemed like he could do nothing about it, and he was not even willing to put a stop to it. He was like a hopeless, dying man waiting for her to finish him off. Davian walked in with the takeout with snowkes covering his shoulders. Gilbert gazed at his shoulders and muttered, ¡°It is snowing?¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s not heavy, but it is freezing out there.¡± Davian walked over as he brushed his shoulders. He ced the takeout on the table and said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, it¡¯s getting colder these days. Why don¡¯t you go back home? At least there will be hot food and soup waiting for you.¡± Davian opened the container and sighed, ¡°It was still hot when I bought it, but now it is cold. You¡¯ve been having stomach problemstely. If this keeps up¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, you can go now,¡± Gilbert interrupted, leaning back on the chair and closing his eyes. Davian hesitated to speak, and he said nothing in the end. He knew Gilbert was mad at his wife, but nobody knew the reason. They had been like this since they returned from Athadale, and even Kelvin, who apanied them, had no idea what was going on between them. Davian pushed the food toward Gilbert and said, ¡°Mr. Kooper, please eat it while it is still warm. I will go now.¡± Gilbert nodded without opening his eyes. Davian nced at him onest time before leaving, feeling a bit sad inside. After leaving the GK building, Davian could not resist sending a message to Kisa. Meanwhile, Kisa was holding a copy of a document and contemting her next move. Just then, she heard her phone buzz and quickly reached for it. The message read, [Mr. Kooper has been having stomach achestely. Maybe you could talk to him or something to convince him to go back home. It¡¯s freezing outside and he¡¯s not eating properly.] Kisa read the message with a pang of concern. She immediately put the document in her bag, changed into a new outfit, and headed down to the kitchen. She cooked up a delicious soup and a few small dishes and packed them in a thermal container. By the time she arrived at the GK building, it was almost 1.00 am. She sat in her car and looked up at the CEO¡¯s office, which was still lit up. When she first saw Davian¡¯s message, she was desperate to see Gilbert and rushed over as fast as she could. But now that she was here, she hesitated. Gilbert had been distant with hertely, and she was not sure if he would be angry if she showed up unannounced. After a few minutes of hesitation, she got out of the car. She had brought food for him, after all, and she did not want it to go to waste. Kisa arrived at the CEO¡¯s office and knocked on the door. Gilbert¡¯s voice came from inside almost immediately. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to go home? What, did you decide to stay here with me?¡± Kisa bit her lip and pushed open the door. Gilbert opened his eyes slightly, and his handsome eyebrows furrowed deeply, though there was a hint of surprise in his gaze. ¡°Who told you toe?¡± he asked, his voice even colder than the winter night outside. Kisa stered on a smile. ¡°I missed you, so I came to see you.¡± Chapter 1451 Chapter 1451 Chapter 1451 Gilbert let out a derisiveugh and continued smoking without saying a word. The whole office was filled with a thick cloud of smoke. Kisa opened the window and walked over to his desk. He squinted his eyes and looked at her with a hint of mockery. Ignoring his icy demeanor and taunts, Kisa ced a thermos in front of him.¡± Here¡¯s soup and some side dishes I cooked especially for you. Eat it while it¡¯s still warm.¡± There was also some takeout food on the table, which looked like it had not been touched and had gone cold. Kisa knew the man either did not eat or ate cold food. It would be strange if he did not have stomach problems. She had even bought some stomach medicine on her way to the office She ced the medicine on the table and said to him with concern, ¡°You can keep this box of medicine in your drawer. If your stomach hurts, you can take it anytime.¡± Gilbert continued to look at her with a mocking expression. The cigarette between his fingers had just been lit and had a long way to go before it burned out. Kisa leaned in close to him, snatched the cigarette from his fingers, and put it out. Then she pushed the steaming food toward him and said, ¡°Eat it while it¡¯s still warm.¡± Gilbert looked up at her andughed softly, but it was also icy. ¡°Are you so afraid that I won¡¯t take you to Oceanville that you had toe and please me in the middle of the night?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t take me,¡± Kisa replied with a smile on her face. His face became even more sinister. ¡°If I feel like taking you, you won¡¯t have to do anything, I¡¯ll take you. If I don¡¯t feel like taking you, I won¡¯t take you even if you strip naked and crawl into my bed.¡± Kisa said nothing. She justdled some soup into a bowl for him. She brought the bowl of soup to his lips and said, ¡°Drink this soup to warm your stomach.¡± Gilbert looked at her coldly and sneered, ¡°Kisa, do you even find this meaningful?¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Kisa looked at him in confusion and asked, ¡°What?¡± ¡°You¡¯re trying so hard to please someone you hate. Doesn¡¯t that disgust you?¡± Kisa shook her head and giggled, ¡°Not at all, and besides, I don¡¯t feel any disgust toward you.¡± Gilbert sneered and growled, ¡°Heh! Get out!¡± He then thought in his mind, This woman really has no shame.¡± Kisa leaned against his desk, holding the bowl of soup. She tilted her head and smiled at him, ¡°If you want me to leave, I¡¯ll go if you finish everything that I¡¯ve made for you. He did not budge. Kisaughed. ¡°Looks like you don¡¯t really want me to leave. And¡­ you even want me to feed you myself.¡± She made a motion to feed him with a spoon. Gilbert grabbed her wrist as she approached. He used some force, causing her to wince in pain. He stared at her smiling face for a while, then took the bowl of soup from her hand. ¡°If I finish this, will you leave?¡± ¡°And all these dishes too. If you finish everything I made, then I¡¯ll leave,¡± Kisa pointed to the side. dishes she had prepared. Gilbert did not say anything else. He did not even look at her. He just ate his food quickly, wanting her to leave as soon as possible. He usually ate elegantly, but now, he ate as fast as he could. He swallowed the side dishes whole, barely chewing. He drank the soup in one gulp. He really did not want to see her right now. Kisa felt sad in her heart. She turned around, suppressing the emotions in her eyes. Soon, Gilbert¡¯s voice sounded from behind her. I¡¯m finished. You can leave now.¡± Kisa quickly gathered her emotions and smiled as she turned around. The food in the thermos was indeed all gone. She slowly cleaned up the bowls and cutlery, as if she did not want to leave. Chapter 1452 Chapter 1452 Chapter 1452 Gilbert pulled out a pack of cigarettes and shook one out. He instinctively reached for his lighter, but as he nced at the woman¡¯s belly, he suppressed the urge to smoke. The cigarette dangled between his fingers as he casually observed the woman in front of him, his tone icy. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you leaving yet?¡± Kisa tucked away her thermos and whispered to him, ¡°I¡¯m leaving now. Rest early and take care of yourself.¡± She gave him a deep nce before walking out the door. As soon as she left, Gilbert suddenly grabbed themp and penholder from his desk, hurling them to the ground with a sharp motion of his hand. He stood up, hands on hips, his unexinable fury growing stronger. He did not know what was wrong with him. When he saw the woman, he was thrilled, but when she appeared before him, he was agitated. However, after driving the woman. away, he was even more annoyed. These conflicting feelings felt like a kind of disease that could not be cured. Walking to the window, he looked down. He could only see the silhouette of a car downstairs in the light of a streemp. A small ck shadow got into the car, presumably Kisa. But after she got in the car, it did not drive away, even after ten minutes or half an hour had passed. Gilbert¡¯s irritation grew ¡®What¡¯s she up to? Is she waiting for someone there?¡± He sneered and sat back down to continue his work. As the wind and snow outside grew stronger, a clump of snowkes flew in andnded on his desk, melting instantly in the warmth of the room. He stared at the small water puddle for a long time before standing up and walking to the window. It had been over half an hour, but the car was still parked down there. ¡®Is she deliberately trying to annoy me? He furrowed his brows and pulled out his phone, dialing Kisa¡¯s number. Meanwhile, Kisa was worrying about the photocopies she was holding. She could not figure out a way to protect Gilbert¡¯s GK and make Adrien think he had seeded in his n, Suddenly, her phone rang, and she was delighted to see it was Gilbert calling.

Kisa was confused for a moment, but then she looked up and saw the faint lighting from the office upstairs. ¡®Does he know I¡¯m still down here? Does he always keep an eye on me? She had nned to leave soon, but since he asked her to go back up, she decided to stay a little longer. However, the could not help but feel that Gilbert¡¯s behavior was bing increasingly strange. First, he told her to leave, and now he wanted her to go back up. Kisa rubbed her cold hands together as she reached the CEO¡¯s office. Gilbert was smoking by the window, but he had opened it, so the smoke had dissipated somewhat, though it was still chilly. Kisa huddled in her puffy down jacket, her nose turning red from the cold. ¡°Did you call me up here for something? Gilbert was facing away from her and said casually. There¡¯s a rest area inside. Don¡¯t stay upte and don¡¯t let your bad habits affect the development of my child.¡± Kisa was taken aback and stared at his back. ¡®That¡¯s why he called me up here? she wondered. ¡°Are you going to sleep?¡± she asked Gilbert exhaled a smoke ring toward the window and said, ¡°You can go ahead and sleep. I have something else to do.¡± Chapter 1453 Chapter 1453 Chapter 1453 Kisa pursed her lips. What a load of nonsense to be busy with! Davian has already said that thepany has been quiet lately. Obviously, he just doesn¡¯t want to sleep with me.¡± But she supposed it was kind of him to let her use the lounge and even invite her up ¡°Well then, I¡¯ll go to sleep first. You should rest early too, don¡¯t stay up toote,¡± Kisa said before. walking toward the neatly arranged lounge. The room was spotless with white sheets that were neatly folded at the foot of the bed. Kisa touched the bedding, and it was so thin that it felt like she was lying on an air-conditioned nket. She took off her outer clothes andy down, quickly covering herself with the sheets. But even with the heater on full st, the open window made the room freezing cold. Kisa curled up. hoping Gilbert would hurry ande to warm her up. After tossing and turning for what felt like hours, she finally called out to Gilbert at the door,¡± Gilbert, aren¡¯t you going to sleep?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not,¡± he replied. ¡°But I¡¯m so cold. Come sleep with me?¡± ¡°The remote¡¯s at the head of the bed. Just turn the heat up.¡± ¡°But I¡¯ve already turned it up as high as it will go. And if I turn it up too high, the air will be too dry. And you know what that means a sore throat tomorrow for sure.¡± There was silence. Kisa called out again, but Gilbert did not respond. ¡°Gilbert!¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Kisa let out a frustrated groan, sat up in bed, and spun around to see him standing at the door with his arms crossed ¡°Gilbert. Kisa immediately smiled and looked at him pitifully, ¡°It¡¯s really cold, and this nket is too thin.¡± ¡°Hmm, there¡¯s a nket in the cab. I will go get it for you,¡± he said before turning around and leaving. A few secondster, he came back with a nket that looked even thinner than the AC nket. Without saying a word, he ced the nket on top of the AC nket. ¡°It is not cold now, is it?¡± he said expressionlessly. Kisa was at a loss for words, watching him leave again. She got under the covers, but there was no warmth in them. Unable to sleep because of the cold, she got out of bed and wrapped herself in the nket. Standing at the door, she red at Gilbert who was smoking while leaning back in his chair. He clearly had nothing better to do than avoid herpany. She wondered if that was the case, why he even called her up here. ¡°I guess I¡¯m taking up your resting room. I¡¯ll just go back. If I leave, you can rest early,¡± Kisa muttered as she quickly put on her coat. As she walked out of the room, Gilbert remained motionless, with only the dwindling cigarette between his fingers. Kisa walked out, turning around to look at him. He did not pay any attention to her until she was at the door. That was when he spoke coldly, ¡°If you¡¯re leaving, leave now. Don¡¯t stay downstairs and bother me.¡± Kisa felt wronged. If he had not called her up here suddenly, at that moment she would have already been at the Kooper residence, snuggled up in a warm bed. She red at him in anger and walked out the door. Gilbert¡¯s face became even sullen than before as he watched her disappear. ¡®Am I torturing myself on purpose? he asked himself, his mind overwhelmed with frustration. He kicked the chair away before heading back into the lounge while tugging on his tie Chapter 1454 Chapter 1454 Chapter 1454 Sometimes all you need is a good night¡¯s sleep to forget all your worries and drift off into dreand. But for Gilbert, that was not the case. The bed was a mess, with the lingering scent of the woman who had left him feeling more agitated than ever. He tried turning the heat down, but still felt suffocated. In the end, he just pulled the covers down and only covered himself up to his waist, baffled at why the woman was so cold when he himself was sweating. With the lights turned off, the whole building was plunged into darkness. As hey there staring at the ceiling, he could not help but wonder why his feelings toward her were so conflicting. He both. longed to see her and felt annoyed by her presence. Normally, he would have been asleep by now, but tonight was different. He nced at the clock, realizing it was already 2 a.m. and he was wide awake. His mind was in turmoil, disturbed by the woman¡¯s presence even in her absence. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Suddenly, he heard a soft rustling from the office outside. His heart raced, not out of fear but out of hope. Is it hering back? he wondered. The footsteps drew nearer, and he remained still, watching as Kisa tiptoed in with the faint light of her phone. She had not really left earlier, just waited outside until she was sure he was asleep. The dim light revealed his lean waist as the nket only reached his midsection. Men are really hot- blooded creatures and never seem to get cold, Kisa thought to herself as she gently pulled the nket up to his shoulders and slipped out of her own coat to crawl into bed. Mmm¡­ this man in bed is just different, she mused as she nestled closer to him, feeling the warmth radiating from his body. She could not help but admire his sturdy back, which resembled a mountain range keeping others at a distance. After staring at his blurry figure for a while, she could not resist the urge to hug him. She really wanted to embrace this man, and she did so without hesitation. Suddenly, she felt his body tense up, and she realized he was not asleep. ¡°You weren¡¯t asleep?¡± she asked incredulously. Gilbert turned over andy t on his back. ¡°Weren¡¯t you supposed to go back? Why did youe back?¡± ¡°It¡¯s already sote. I didn¡¯t want to disturb the others by making noise,¡± Kisa exined. ¡°But you weren¡¯t concerned about that when you first came out and cooked dinner,¡± he retorted ¡°Gilberti¡± Kisa was angry at his response. In the darkness, Gilbert could not see her face clearly, but he could sense the annoyance in her tone. He did not know why, but he wanted to shut her up. She suddenly changed the subject. ¡°Are my cooking skills up to par?¡± ¡°Your food was terrible,¡± he scoffed. Kisaughed. ¡°If it was so terrible, then why did you eat it all? Your actions speak louder than your words, Gilbert.¡± Gilbert sneered and said nothing. Kisa snuggled up to him, finding his embrace particrly warm. However, he seemed to dislike her presence, and pushed her head away. ¡°Please, I¡¯m cold,¡± Kisa pleaded, hugging his arm tightly. ¡°Endure it, and go back when it¡¯s light outside, Gilbert retorted. ¡°I can endure it, but what about our baby?¡± Kisa reminded him. Chapter 1455 Chapter 1455 Chapter 1455 Gilbert fell silent again, but it was clear that he was not pushing her away or trying to move away from her. Kisa snuggled into his embrace, feeling warm and safe, and soon drifted off to sleep. But just as she was about to enter dreand, she heard a muffled voice from above her head.¡± Even if you try to pretend, I won¡¯t be fooled again.¡± ¡®Not again!¡¯ Kisa sighed silently, knowing that any exnation she could offer would be futile. She just murmured a soft ¡°Mmm¡± and tried to ignore him, drifting off into a deep slumber. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. But suddenly, she felt his lips on hers, harsh and punishing, almost as if he were seeking revenge. Kisa was annoyed and turned over, muttering, ¡°Stop it, I¡¯m sleepy.¡± Then she heard his deep and repressed whisper in her ear. ¡°If you want to kill me, just do it. I¡¯m not afraid anymore, because¡­ if I die, I¡¯ll make sure youe with me. With you by my side, nothing. else matters.¡± His voice was both tender and low, as if he were confessing his love and his resolve at the same time. Kisa was too tired to say anything else, so she just muttered, ¡°Okay¡­ whatever happens¡­ I¡¯ll be with you¡­¡± And with that, she fell into a deep sleep,pletely oblivious to whatever Gilbert might have said after that. When Kisa woke up the next day, the lounge was brightly lit, but Gilbert was nowhere to be seen. She rubbed her eyes and felt the space next to her, which was cold. Checking the time on her phone, she gasped in surprise to see that it was already noon. She had never slept so deeply before, let alone in the lounge. Quickly getting dressed, she emerged to find the CEO¡¯s office empty and bright. Wondering where Gilbert could be, she was about to call him when Davian suddenly walked in carrying a steaming lunch box. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, I just picked this up from the employee cafeteria. You should eat it while. it¡¯s still hot,¡± he said. As Kisa sat down by the coffee table and motioned for him to bring the food over, she asked, Where¡¯s Gilbert?¡± ¡°Mr. Kooper went out to meet a client,¡± Davian replied, cing the food in front of her. ¡°Our cafeteria food is pretty good, Mrs. Kooper. I hope you don¡¯t mind it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve eaten worse,¡± Kisa replied with a smile. Her morning sickness had subsided, and her appetite had returned. Seeing the packed lunch in front of her, she could not resist. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go with him?¡± she asked Davian, who was still standing there ¡°I stayed behind to take care of you,¡± Davian said, then realizing he had said too much, quickly covered his mouth. Kisa heard him loud and clear. ¡°Gilbert left you here to take care of me?¡± Davian came clean. ¡°Yes, Mrs. Kooper. He asked me to bring you food at certain times I brought you breakfast this morning, but you were sleeping so soundly that I didn¡¯t want to wake you up So, here¡¯s your lunch.¡± Kisa smiled, saying nothing, but the food in front of her suddenly smelled even better. Davian nced at her and said, ¡°Mrs. Kooper, if I may ask, did you and Mr. Kooper have a fight? I¡¯m begging you to persuade Mr. Kooper to go back and rest. He¡¯s had three bouts of stomach problems the day before yesterday, and the most serious one even left him unable to stand up straight.¡± Kisa froze in the middle of eating. After a long pause, she spoke softly, ¡°We didn¡¯t fight.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s not a fight, then what is it? Mr. Kooper hasn¡¯t smiled once since he came back from Athadale.¡± ¡°Davian¡­¡± Chapter 1456 Chapter 1456 Chapter 1456 Kisa turned to him and spoke seriously, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Gilbert and I are fine. I¡¯m just working on something big right now, and once it is done, I¡¯ll clear up the misunderstanding between us.¡± ¡°What something big?¡± Davian asked, puzzled. Kisa smiled at him. ¡°Nothing much. Just remember that I won¡¯t hurt him again.¡± Davian did not believe her. ¡°You¡¯re always so heartless, like Mr. Kooper said. You¡¯re cold and ruthless and can never be tamed.¡± Kisa¡¯s face darkened. ¡°You¡¯re the one who can¡¯t be tamed.¡± Davian chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m not the one who said it, Mr. Kooper did.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Kisa snorted and continued eating. After finishing the meal, she waited for Gilbert in the lounge for two hours. When he still had not returned, she left directly. Leaving the GK building, she drove to Mia¡¯s ce. When she was waiting for Gilbert earlier, she came up with a n that could both save GK and deceive Adrien. Whether the n would work or not depended on whether Mia truly considered her a friend. Mia was not at thepany, but in the vi that she had bought for Jensen. The quiet and elegant vi was only upied by the two of them. Since they had talked on the phone before she came, Mia was already waiting for her in the living room and had prepared some tea. Mia looked her up and down and smiled casually. ¡°The other day, I saw your father trying to run you over, and it was all thanks to Gilbert¡¯s selflessness that you didn¡¯t get hurt. Are you more touched and in love with that man now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to talk about something important today,¡± Kisa said, sitting across from her with a serious expression. Mia pushed the tea toward her with a smile. ¡°What I said just now was important too.¡± Knowing that Mia could be yful at times, Kisa did not bother with her and took out the copied confidential file. ¡°This is a confidential document from GK.¡± Mia¡¯s smiling face froze in an instant as she looked at the document in Kisa¡¯s hand ¡°What do you mean?¡± Kisa stared into her eyes. ¡°I want Risen Enterprise to merge with GK.¡± Mia stood up in shock. ¡°Are you crazy?¡± But Kisa remained calm inparison Mia looked at her with a confused and disdainful expression, as if she did not understand why Kisa would want to go after a man who loved her with his life ¡°Didn¡¯t you sayst time that Jensen¡¯s ident had nothing to do with him? You even acted like you loved him before, but now you want to stab him in the back? Kisa, even the most heartless. woman couldn¡¯tpare to you. Your ability to turn your back on someone is lightning fast.¡± Watching Mia defend Gilbert, Kisa felt a little relieved. She knew Mia was someone who despised evil. She smiled at Mia and said, ¡°Can you help me merge Risen Enterprise with GK?¡± But Mia did not buy it and asked, ¡°Are you sick? Did you burn your brain recently?¡± Kisa chuckled and shook her head. ¡°Well¡­ I guess you could say I¡¯m asking you for a favor.¡± Mia was taken aback and furrowed her brows as she looked at her. Meanwhile, in the CEO¡¯s office at GK, Gilbert returned looking tired and worn out, like he had not slept all night. Davian quickly brought him a cup of coffee, and Gilbert absent-mindedly tugged at his tie while looking toward the lounge. ¡°Where is she?¡± Davian hesitated for a moment before realizing that Gilbert was asking about his wife. ¡°Mrs. Kooper has already left.¡± Gilbert¡¯s eyes dimmed imperceptibly. Then, Davian remembered something and scrambled to pull a pentagram made of paper from Gilbert¡¯s desk. ¡°Oh, and by the way, Mrs. Kooper left you a message.¡± Chapter 1457 Chapter 1457 Chapter 1457 Gilbert looked at the pentagram without a flicker of emotion, his expression revealing a hint of apathy and disdain. Davian did not know what he meant and just asked, ¡°Mr. Kooper, do you want to see it? I can open it for you.¡± Gilbert remained silent, only taking out a cigarette and lighting it, his chilling gaze fixed on the pentagram. Davian felt uneasy, thinking that Gilbert did not want to see the thing, and said, don¡¯t want to see it, I¡¯ll just throw it away. If it was an urgent matter, she¡¯d surely call you instead of leaving a note.¡± ¡°Give it to me Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Just as he was about to throw the pentagram into the trash can, Gilbert suddenly let out a low, soft hum. Davian was startled and quickly handed the pentagram to him. Gilbert looked at the pentagram, with a sneer on his lips. With his slender fingers, he quickly opened the pentagram, revealing the elegant handwriting that caught his eye. [It¡¯s getting cold. Remember to wear more clothes. Come back to the Kooper residence and have your meals on time. If you still don¡¯t eat on time, I¡¯ll make you food every day ande find you.] After reading the few lines, Gilbert¡¯s sneer grew even more pronounced. ¡°Pretending to be kind and caring,¡± he muttered, crumpling up the note and throwing it into the trash can. Davian watched in silence, too scared to say anything. Back in Mia¡¯s ce, she held the confidential file, looking at Kisa askance. ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried that I might really absorb GK?¡± Kisa held a ss of water but did not take a sip. She had also thought about it because there was no one she could absolutely trust right now. But it was better for GK to be in Mia¡¯s hands than in Adrien¡¯s hands ¡°You love Jensen, don¡¯t you?¡± Kisa said. Mia snorted but said nothing. Kisa said. ¡°You love him, so even if you really absorb GK, you¡¯ll give it to him. He was originally from the Kooper family, and if GK were to really fall into his hands, I don¡¯t think it¡¯d be a big deal.¡± ¡°Hmph, Gilbert wouldn¡¯t think so,¡± Mia said. Kisa shook her head and said in a deep voice, ¡°If Jensen really wants GK, I think Gilbert would be willing to give it to him.¡± Mia suddenly pursed her lips and did not speak, aplicated expression shing through her eyes Kisa looked upstairs and knew that Mia would not let her go see Jensen, so she did not want to stay any longer. She stood up and said to Mia, ¡°Just consider this a favor for me. Jensen is unconscious now, and I can only trust you.¡± Mia opened her mouth to say something as she watched Kisa leave, but in the end, she did not say anything. She looked down at the confidential file in her hand, lost in thought. Suddenly, footsteps came from behind her. She turned around hastily and saw Jensening down from upstairs. Jensen seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, almost sickly thin. He sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and looked cold. Mia stared at him for a long time before handing him the confidential file. ¡°You heard what she just said, didn¡¯t you?¡± Jensen blew out a smoke ring, his gaze fell on the file, his eyes clear and cold. Mia sighed softly and said to him, ¡°Jensen, forget it. She said that if you really want GK, Gilbert would still be willing to give it to you, so you don¡¯t have to- ¡°But what he gives me. I don¡¯t want it!¡± He chuckled, his pale fingers looking even paler against the cigarette. ¡°Moreover,¡± he smiled at Mia. ¡°I want more than just GK.¡± When Kisa returned to the Kooper residence, she found Gilbert¡¯s car parked in the yard. She was overjoyed and walked quickly into the house but bumped into someone head-on. Chapter 1458 Chapter 1458 Chapter 1458 As she was falling to the ground, a strong arm quickly lifted her up Kisa looked up and met Gilbert¡¯s cold and indifferent face and unchanging eyes She quickly forced a smile and said, ¡± Thank you.¡± Gilbert let go of her and stepped back, straightening his sleeves, his voice chilly If you drop my child, I¡¯ll make you pay for it Kisa just smiled at him and said, ¡°Are you staying home today?¡± Gilbert gave her a sideways nce and ignored her, walking back into the house. Soon, the voices of Andrew and Ada came from inside. ¡°Daddy, didn¡¯t you say you were going out to find mommy? Why did youe back?¡± Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Kisa smiled and followed them, surprised that Gilbert was nning toe and find her That night, in the study, Gilbert stared at the safe in the cab, a sneer appearing on his lips ¡®She wants GK so badly? Fine, if she asks for it, I¡¯ll give it to her Is she doing it secretly because she¡¯s afraid i¡¯d be reluctant to let go? He opened his eyes, which had regained their cold rity ¡®Nowadays, there¡¯s nothing I can¡¯t bear to part with, he said in his mind Back in the bedroom, there was no one on the bed, but the sound of water came from the bathroom Gilbert stared at the frosted ss door of the bathroom for a long time before turning and sitting down in the chair by the window. The lights outside were brilliant, but they did not light up the slightest spark in his eyes. He had been very upsettely, and his mind was often wandering aimlessly. Even though Kisa was now in the same room with him, he still felt distan The bathroom door opened with a soft click, as Kisa, wrapped in a bath towel and mist, walked past him without noticing him and went straight to the wardrobe She pressed the bath towel against her chest with one hand and searched through the wardrobe with the other In no time, she found a cotton nightgown and put it on,pletely ignoring Gilbert Gilbert watched silently, with no expression on his face. After she changed into the nightgown, he spoke, ¡°Start preparing in the next two days. I¡¯ll take you to Oceanville in three days.¡± Kisa was startled by the sudden sound and quickly looked over, only to find a man sitting by the window. When she saw Gilbert, dressed in ck, her face turned red. ¡°When did youe in?¡± She had turned on the smallmp on the bedside table, so the room was not very bright. Gilbert was sitting by the window, quiet and unobtrusive, barely noticeable. ¡°Remember what I said earlier. You cane with me to Oceanville in three days if you want,¡± he said tly before getting up and entering the bathroom Kisa listened to the sound of water inside and a smile appeared on her face. Is he going to sleep here tonight? Kisa felt very happy and leaned against the headboard, scrolling through her phone. When she saw Gilberting out of the bathroom, she quickly moved to the side. Gilbert was disdainful of Kisa¡¯s affection and mocked her. He walked over, looking at her false smile and coldly asked, ¡°Are you happy that I¡¯m sleeping in the room?¡± Kisa just nodded eagerly. Gilbert sneered, ¡°If I want to have you now, would you be willing?¡± Kisa was startled for a moment before realizing what he meant. She instinctively ced her hand on her belly and remembered what the doctor said during her prenatal checkup. She shook her head cautiously. Gilbert¡¯s smile widened at the corners of his lips, but it sent shivers down her spine. He was not really laughing, but rather mocking her, and even himself. Kisa¡¯s heart twitched. Seeing that he was about to leave, she quickly grabbed his hand and said, ¡°l- I¡¯m willing.¡± Chapter 1459 Chapter 1459 Chapter 1459 As Kisa reached for the tie on Gilbert¡¯s sleeping robe, he instantly grabbed her delicate wrist with an iron grip Perplexed, Kisa looked up and met his cold, sneering gaze ¡°Isn¡¯t this what you wanted?¡± she asked, confused ¡°I do want it, but I don¡¯t like coercion Your pathetic attempt at forcing it makes me sick, Gilbert retorted Kisa¡¯s body tensed up, a sharp pain stabbing at her heart. She bit her lip and remained silent. fearing that speaking up would cause her emotions to spill over. Gilbert broke away from her grasp and strode toward the window, throwing it open and lighting at cigarette with a sharp inhale. He seemed to be releasing some pent-up frustration through his smoking Meanwhile, Kisa buried herself under the covers, fighting against her swirling thoughts. Once Adrien¡¯s affairs are settled, he¡¯ll understand my true intentions After smoking three cigarettes at the window, Gilbert finally returned to bed. Perhaps because of the wind, the smell of cigarette smoke was subtle, but his presence was distant and cold, as if he was pushing her away There was arge empty space between them, and Kisa cautiously moved closer and hugged him from behind. He did not react, and Kisa was silent for a while before she spoke up. ¡°Gilbert, are we really going to Oceanville in three days?¡± Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°Yeah,¡± Gilbert replied, his voice monotone and icy. ¡°But don¡¯t even think about pulling any tricks. Otherwise- ¡°What kind of tricks could I pull?¡± Kisa interrupted, not wanting to hear his harsh words. ¡°I just want to find your uncle, David. If we can find him, maybe we can understand the grudges of the previous generation. Once we know what is going on, we can figure out a way to clear up your grandma¡¯s misunderstanding of me, can¡¯t we?¡± Gilbert stayed silent, his back facing her and his demeanor cold and distant. Kisa let out a frustrated sigh. ¡°Ah, forget it. Let¡¯s just get some rest. You barely sleptst night.¡± She rested her head on his back, a million thoughts running through her mind. She did not want to stress about what the future held, but the Adrien situation needed to be dealt with as soon as possible. Out of nowhere, Gilbert broke the silence. ¡°Why do you even give a damn about changing my grandma¡¯s opinion of you? Is it really that important to you?¡± Kisa was caught off guard for a moment, but she quickly bounced back with a smile, ¡°Duh, I care. Your grandma means the world to you, and if I can get her to like me, then we can finally be together without any drama, right?¡± ¡°Pfft,¡± Gilbert snorted, cutting off any further conversation. Kisa clenched her jaw and fell silent. Later that night, while Gilbert was sound asleep, she tiptoed to the study. She had to expose Adrien¡¯s true motives, but in order to do that, she needed to get Gilbert to lose his GK status as soon as possible. Only then would she be able to uncover why Adrien had it out for her and Gilbert. As she entered the room and approached the safe, she had no clue that a pair of menacing eyes had been watching her every move since she left the bed. Kisa quickly punched in thebination, which was still the same. But when she opened the safe, she was shocked to see that there were a bunch of new files inside. Did Gilbert put these here today? Did he catch onto me? He is smart, he must have, right? But then why hasn¡¯t he changed thebination? And why is it still set to my birthday?¡± Kisa shook off her suspicions and swiftly made copies of the files before locking the safe and returning to her room. But when she got there, somethingpletely unexpected stopped her in her tracks Chapter 1460 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. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. 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. Chapter 1461 Chapter 1461 Chapter 1461 The two of them burst outughing as they walked out together. Kisa¡¯s expression was neutral as she sat down next to Adrien. ¡°Hey, Uncle Adrien, is there something you need from me?¡± ¡°I just wanted to check in and see if you¡¯ve managed to get your hands on any information about That way, I can help youe up with a revenge n against Gilbert.¡± Adrien handed her a cocktail, but Kisa pushed it away with a smile. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Sorry, it¡¯s that time of the month. Can you get me a ss of water instead, godfather?¡± The term ¡°godfather¡± melted Adrien¡¯s heart, and he quickly obliged. Kisa leaned back on the couch and got down to business. ¡°I stole a ton of confidential files from GK.¡± Adrien raised an eyebrow. ¡°Where are they?¡± ¡°I gave them to Risen Enterprise. They are GK¡¯s sworn enemies, so it makes sense to let them take care of business. Gilbert won¡¯t suspect us, and I won¡¯t drag you down either. Plus, if Risen Enterprise can take over GK, it will be a sweet victory for Jensen, who created it in the first ce. My ultimate goal is to crush Gilbert and hand over GK to Jensen. That is why I went with Risen Enterprise.¡± Adrien took a puff from his cigarette, pondered for a moment, and grinned. ¡°Sure, whether GK falls into anyone¡¯s hands, your goal is still revenge against Gilbert.¡± Kisa beamed with satisfaction, ¡°Right, I have been wracking my brain and I don¡¯t want to drag you down with me, so that¡¯s why I thought of them. By the way, you aren¡¯t pissed at me, are you?¡± Adrien burst outughing, ¡°Hahaha¡­ Why would I be pissed at you? I just wanted to help you get back at him, but now you have an even better n. I¡¯m thrilled. Why would I ever be mad?¡± Adrien patted her on the shoulder, his touch affectionate and kind. ¡°Anyway, no matter what happens, I¡¯m here for you. If Risen Enterprise can¡¯t be trusted, you can always turn to me for help.¡± Kisa nodded and raised her ss to clink with Adrien¡¯s. ¡°Mmm-hmm¡­ I¡¯ll keep you informed of our progress against GK. We¡¯ll take down Gilbert together.¡± Her face was a mask of bitter hatred, no trace of falsehood. Adrien chuckled inwardly, a glint in his eye shing by. For three consecutive days, Kisa sneaked into the study to steal confidential files from GK. Strangely, every day, the safe would contain new confidential files. Upon checking the dates on the documents, some of the data had even been collected in the past two days. Kisa was convinced that Gilbert was intentionally leaving these files there, tempting her to steal them. ¡°But what¡¯s his motive? Is he not afraid that I¡¯ll destroy GK?¡± These past two days, Gilbert had been acting strangely, staring out the window lost in thought. It was impossible to tell what was on his mind. Sometimes Kisa wanted to ask him what was troubling him or strike up a conversation, but she was always discouraged by his cold and distant demeanor. One morning, as Kisa descended the stairs, she saw him sitting in the dining room having breakfast. It was rare to catch him there since for the past few days, he had disappeared before she even woke up. ¡°Is everything packed?¡± Gilbert asked nonchntly as she walked over. She was caught off guard. ¡°W-What¡¯s packed?¡± Chapter 1462 Chapter 1462 Chapter 1462 Gilbert stared at her, his face dark and brooding. ¡°Looks like you never listened to a word I said, or maybe what I say just never mattered to you,¡± he said with a scowl. Kisa blinked innocently, as Madalyn looked on with a smug smirk. As Gilbert finished his breakfast, he wiped his mouth and spoke slowly, ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to go to Oceanville-¡± ¡°Oh, I remember now! You¡¯re taking me to Oceanville today!¡± Kisa suddenly eximed, realizing her mistake. She quickly turned and rushed upstairs to pack her things. Madalyn¡¯s face turned red with anger. ¡°Slow down, if you hurt my precious great-grandchild, I¡¯ll make sure you regret it,¡± she snarled at Kisa, who ignored her and hurried up the stairs. Turning to Gilbert, Madalyn sneered. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you were thinking, bringing that deadweight with you on your business trip.¡± ¡°Grandma, have you heard any news about Uncle David?¡± Gilbert asked, looking in the direction of the stairs. Madalyn was taken aback. ¡°Why are you asking about him all of a sudden?¡± ¡°Nothing, I just want to see him,¡± Gilbert replied calmly. Madalyn shook her head, sighing. ¡°I want to see him too, but besides that letter he sent us, we haven¡¯t heard anything from him. He¡¯s probably still mad at me and hiding somewhere.¡± Gilbert pondered for a moment before asking, ¡°Do you think he knows about Jensen¡¯s ident?¡± ¡°Jensen¡¯s ident was in the news, so he probably knows. But even if he does, what difference does it make? He is still in hiding, and Jensen was never really his son, just a shameful reminder of his past. If it weren¡¯t for Jensen, he and that sl*t¡­¡± Madalyn stopped herself mid-sentence, realizing she had said too much. Clearing her throat, she continued, ¡°Gilbert, take care of yourself in Oceanville, and watch that deadweight too. If she wasn¡¯t carrying the flesh and blood of the Kooper family, I would have kicked her out long ago.¡± Gilbert gently tapped her arm. ¡°Grandma, take care of yourself. And, while I¡¯m away, no matter what happens, don¡¯t panic.¡± Madalyn¡¯s face changed. ¡°What do you mean? Gilbert, tell me honestly, did something happen?¡± Gilbert chuckled. ¡°No, just reminding you to take care of your health.¡± Madalyn eyed him suspiciously. ¡°Are you sure nothing happened?¡± ¡°Nothing at all, everything¡¯s fine.¡± Davian drove them to the airport, and Kelvin tagged along. At the airport entrance, Kelvin stood with his hands on his hips and eximed, ¡°If Gracie wasn¡¯t pregnant, I would¡¯ve loved toe with you guys to Oceanville. The scenery there is amazing.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Gracie¡¯s pregnant?¡± ¡°Yep.¡± Kelvin grinned and nced at her belly. ¡°I hope she has a baby girl. If you have a baby boy, let¡¯s arrange for them to get married in the future.¡± Kisa nodded happily. ¡°Sure! Take good care of Gracie during this time. The first few months of pregnancy can be tough.¡± ¡°You¡¯re telling me,¡± Kelvin pouted. ¡°I¡¯ve been taking care of her like a saint. She doesn¡¯t eat regr meals, always wakes me up in the middle of the night to get some weird food. It¡¯s torture, especially in the middle of winter. Kelvinined, but his face could not hide his happiness. Kisa felt sentimental, thinking, Things are great right now.

Let¡¯s go.¡± Without waiting for her response, he dragged the suitcase and walked away. Kisa nced at his back and turned to Kelvin. ¡°Take good care of Gracie. I¡¯ll go check on her when I come back.¡± ¡°Mhm, have fun in Oceanville.¡± Kelvin watched the retreating figures and suddenly eximed,¡± Thinking back now, Kisa had it rough.

You don¡¯t understand anything.¡± ¡°I have a girlfriend. I have Felicity, even though she hasn¡¯t talked to me in days. She¡¯s definitely just busy.¡± Kelvin was speechless. Kisa almost ran to catch up with Gilbert. He walked too fast with his long legs and the distance. between them widened again before she could catch her breath. ¡°Gilbert, slow down, I-I have a stomach ache. Kisa gasped, holding her waist with one hand and the right side of belly with the other. Gilbert ignored her. In his eyes, Kisa lied all the time, and who knew if her ¡®stomach-ache¡¯ was real or not. But his steps could not help but stop. Seeing Gilbert standing nearby, Kisa was overjoyed and quickly ran up to him. But just as she ran up, he started walking away again. Kisa quickly grabbed his arm and said, ¡°Can you let me catch my breath?¡± As Gilbert tightened his brows and grew visibly troubled, Kisa held onto his arm, leaning in close. From behind, they looked like a loving couple, inseparable and intimate. Kisa took a deep breath and spoke up. ¡°Gilbert, when I was pregnant for the first time, I didn¡¯t feel ufortable or experience morning sickness. I took good care of myself.¡± The only thing that was bad was that she cooked every day, waiting for him, but he never came back. ¡°Why are you telling me this? To make me feel guilty? Or are you afraid that I will feel guilty?¡± Gilbert¡¯s lips curled up in a cold, emotionless smirk. Kisa lowered her eyes and muttered, ¡°It is not to make you feel guilty, nor am i afraid of you feeling guilty. I¡¯m just saying Gilbert nced at her, then withdrew his arm and walked away. Kisa watched him leave for a while until her vision blurred, and he impatiently called out to her at the boarding gate, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go, you can leave now.¡± Taking a deep breath, Kisa walked over, trying to keep a calm face. Gilbert had booked first-ss tickets, and the ne was rtively empty. Once on board, she leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, not wanting to say anything, as she knew whatever she said now would be wrong. The ne had not taken off yet, and Gilbert was on the phone. ¡°I¡¯ll leave thepany¡¯s affairs to you for the time being. Be more careful, and if there are any major issues, let me know.¡± Perhaps it was because the cabin was too quiet, Kisa faintly heard the voice on the other end of the phone. It sounded like Davian¡¯s voice. ¡°Mr. Kooper, thepany has been having some problemstely, and actually, you don¡¯t need to go to Oceanville at this time. Just let Mr. Webb Sr. know-¡± ¡°Okay, we¡¯re taking off now. I have to go.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡®So Gilbert didn¡¯t have to go to Oceanville after all. Risen Enterprise must have already started making moves. In this situation, Gilbert should have stayed at thepany. But why did he decide to take me to Oceanville anyway?¡± Chapter 1464 Chapter 1464 Chapter 1464 ¡®Could it be for me? That thought vanished without a trace as soon as she recalled the icy, mocking expression on his face just now. ¡®He has deep resentment toward me now, so how could it possibly be for me?¡¯ Davian hung up the phone, feeling frustrated. ¡°Lately, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s been going on in Mr. Kooper¡¯s head, but it seems like he doesn¡¯t want GK anymore.¡± Kelvin raised an eyebrow. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Risen Enterprise has been stealing all our businesstely, and they¡¯re even getting their hands on GK¡¯s confidential information. They¡¯re always one step ahead of us, and they even swooped in and stole thatnd we were eyeing. And to top it off, our data systems got hacked. It¡¯s obvious someone¡¯s out to get us, but Mr. Kooper insists on going to Oceanville instead of staying and fixing the mess here.¡± Kelvin furrowed his brow and took a drag of his cigarette. ¡°Could it be because of Kisa? After all, she has always wanted to go to Oceanville.¡± ¡°I have no idea, but Mr. Kooper did bring her along. Who knows what his wife¡¯s even doing in Oceanville?¡± ¡°Rumor has it she is looking for someone.¡± ¡°Ugh, his wife¡¯s nothing but trouble. She¡¯s always causing problems for Mr. Kooper.¡± Kelvin snickered. ¡°Maybe it is because Mr. Kooper¡¯s a sucker and lets her walk all over him.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the sucker.¡± Davian shot Kelvin a re and refused to engage any further. He suspected Kelvin had bullied Kisa before, so he felt guilty and defensive about her. After three long hours, the ne finally touched down in Oceanville. Kisa slept the whole way, only waking up when the aircraft lost altitude, giving her that weightless feeling. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. When she opened her eyes, Gilbert was staring at her with aplicated expression that she could not quite read. She sat up and asked him, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Gilbert quickly averted his gaze and spoke in a t tone, ¡°Nothing. The ne¡¯snded, and I was just getting ready to wake you up.¡± Kisa stared at his cold side face for a moment before reaching out to hold his hand. He visibly resisted, but she persisted, and he eventually relented. ¡°When we get off the ne, there will be a lot of people, so hold my hand and guide me,¡± she said with a smile. Gilbert turned to look at her bulging belly and finally relented, nodding his head in agreement. As they left the airport, they were greeted by several people, including an elderly man in his sixties with a sharp and astute business demeanor. To his left was a strapping young man in his thirties, towering in stature and sporting a pair of sses that made him look sophisticated and refined Trailing behind them were a few beefy-looking guys, who seemed to be their bodyguards. ¡°Hey there, Mr. Kooper Finally, you made it. It¡¯s been a long time since west met,¡± the elderly man eximed, shaking Gilbert¡¯s hand with enthusiasm. Kisa realized then that the elderly man was none other than Mr. Webb Sr., and the young man. standing next to him was his eldest son, Thomas Webb. Kisa could not help but wonder where Peter was. After exchanging pleasantries, Gilbert and Kisa got into Mr. Webb Sr.¡¯s car, and he offered to take them to a hotel. But Kisa remembered that David disappeared from the Webb residence, so she concocted an excuse to visit Peter, iming that they were friends. Mr. Webb Sr. agreed, and they headed straight to the Webb residence. As they entered the mansion, several tes and bowls flew toward them. Kisa was startled and instinctively raised her hand to block them, but Gilbert was faster, pulling her aside to safety. Chapter 1465 Chapter 1465 Chapter 1465 As Kisa looked up, she heard the sound of dishes crashing onto the ground, making a sharp and distinct noise. Suddenly, her heart leaped as she saw Peter. But something was different about him. He no longer had the same arrogant and reckless demeanor he used to have. He appeared thinner and worn, with a hint of despair and bitterness on his face. ¡°You ungrateful son, what¡¯s wrong with you? Can¡¯t you see we have guests?¡± Mr. Webb Sr. rushed over, taking two steps at a time, and threw a punch at Peter. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Peter shrugged nonchntly, his gaze skipping over Kisa and Gilbert. With a light chuckle, he said, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s them. They¡¯ve finally arrived.¡± Then he turned and walked upstairs, exuding a menacing aura that was hard to ignore. Mr. Webb Sr. was both angry and helpless. He asked a servant beside him, ¡°Why¡¯s he so moody again?¡± ¡°He lost his temper at us because his upstairs guest didn¡¯t like the food. As if it¡¯s our fault.¡± Kisa furrowed her brow slightly. ¡®His upstairs guest? What did that mean?¡± Mr. Webb Sr. coughed awkwardly and said, ¡°Never mind, everyone, please get back to work. Butler, please prepare a nice room for our guests.¡± Kisa nced upstairs and felt that something was off about Peter. Thomas who was standing nearby smiled and exined, ¡°My younger brother hasn¡¯t been feeling great lately, so I hope you won¡¯t hold it against him.¡± ¡°Did something happen to him? He seemed fine when we were in Calthon,¡± Kisa asked. Thomas gave a gentle smile and said, ¡°Nothing really happened. He¡¯s just upset about the arranged marriage my dad set up for him, so he¡¯s been giving him a hard time.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get the guests to the dining room,¡± Mr. Webb Sr. urged, cutting the conversation short. Kisa pursed her lips, not giving it much thought. ¡°Mr. Kooper, since you¡¯vee to Oceanville, you¡¯ve got to spend a few extra days here.¡± Mr. Webb Sr. raised his ss to Gilbert with enthusiasm. Gilbert returned the gesture and said, ¡°That¡¯s exactly what I was thinking, but I don¡¯t want to bother you too much.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that, my house is empty. You can stay here as long as you like,¡± Mr. Webb Sr. said, raising his ss to Kisa. ¡°Wee to Oceanville, Mrs. Kooper.¡± Kisa was about to decline, but Gilbert suddenly grabbed the drink in front of her and said to Mr. Webb Sr., ¡°She doesn¡¯t drink, so I¡¯ll take this one for her.¡± Mr. Webb Sr. smiled and did not mind it. He just said, ¡°I¡¯m too old for all the sightseeing, but I will have my eldest son take you around Oceanville tomorrow.¡± Gilbert nodded, and Kisa said, ¡°Thank you, that would be lovely.¡± After dinner, Mr. Webb Sr. and Gilbert went to the study to discuss business, while Kisa went to the bedroom to rest. The bedroom was on the sunny side of the second floor, and the light was fantastic. Kisa sat by the window and looked at the yard. The Webb residence was indeed quiet. Apart from two or three servants trimming the flowers and nts, there was no one else around. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. She got up to answer it, and Thomas was standing outside with a servant who was holding a bowl of hot dessert. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, this is a special hot dessert that I asked the servant to make for you. It¡¯ll warm you up,¡± Thomas said. ¡°Thank you,¡± Kisa stepped aside and let the servant in. She could not help but take a closer look at Thomas and thought that he had a gentle character, which was quite different from Peter¡¯s. She suddenly remembered what Peter had said about his brother having the same red birthmark on his chest as her mother, and she wondered if this man really was the one she was looking for. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, if you have any problems, feel free to tell me. You can also tell me where you want to go for fun,¡± Thomas suddenly said, smiling. Kisa snapped out of her thoughts and quickly nodded to thank him. ¡°Well, I won¡¯t disturb you anymore, Mrs. Kooper. You rest well,¡± Thomas said as he was about to leave. Kisa quickly stopped him and called out, ¡°Wait.¡± Chapter 1466 Chapter 1466 Chapter 1466 ¡°Do you know a man named David?¡± Kisa asked. ¡°David?¡± ¡°He used to be the eldest son of the Kooper family, Gilbert¡¯s uncle. Gilbert¡¯s dying to meet him, and I found out that he came to your house over twenty years ago. So, do you know him?¡± Kisa exined eagerly. Thomas¡¯ smile was warm and genuine, his expressioncking any trace of pretense. ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t have any impression of that name. I¡¯ve lived here my whole life without ever seeing a man named Davide to our house.¡± Just then, Gilbert walked in. Thomas weed him, saying, ¡°You¡¯ve just gotten off the ne. Get some rest and let me know if you want to go anywhere tomorrow.¡± As Thomas left, Gilbert closed the door and said nonchntly, ¡°If you could figure things that out. that easily, then my uncle¡¯s whereabouts wouldn¡¯t remain such a mystery.¡± Gilbert sauntered over to the desk, his gaze lingering on the steaming dessert. He then picked it up and took a sip, and Kisa was surprised. ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t like that kind of dessert?¡± she asked. ¡°I¡¯m testing it for poison,¡± Gilbert replied nonchntly. ¡°You¡¯re carrying my child, so you need to be careful about everything.¡± Kisa¡¯s mood sank as she cast her gaze downward. ¡®Why did he have to say that? It was like he took pleasure in making me miserable.¡¯ Gilbert sat by the window, looking at her with an indifferent expression. ¡°If you want to find my uncle, you have to do it yourself. Asking around won¡¯t help.¡± Kisa moved closer to him, ¡°Okay, how do I start?¡± Even though she knew that David had disappeared from here, she had no idea where to begin looking for him. Gilbert smirked. ¡°Didn¡¯t youe here specifically for this? I thought you knew how to search.¡± His tone was mocking. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I will find a way,¡± she said confidently before turning and heading to the bathroom. Gilbert, in a fit of frustration, knocked over the ss on the low table. He loosened his tie, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair. His eyebrows furrowed deeply, and a look of intense irritation filled his eyes. Davian had just called to tell him that Risen Enterprise had snatched yet another project from GK. ¡°Heh! She has really given away all of GK¡¯s secrets to Risen Enterprise without any reservations just because it is under Jensen¡¯s name. Well, as she wishes, I will give GK to that man. Let¡¯s see how happy she will be then.¡± The next day, Gilbert went out early with Mr. Webb Sr. Before leaving, he instructed Kisa to take care of their unborn child and to not make any impulsive decisions without consulting him first. He even threatened her that if anything happened to his child, she would be buried with him. Kisa smiled cheerfully in response. However, he did not give her a single smile or kind word. Kisa had breakfast with Thomas. She looked upstairs and asked Thomas, ¡°Why isn¡¯t Petering down for breakfast? Is he not at home?¡± ¡°When Peter¡¯s in a bad mood, he likes to lock himself in his room. We don¡¯t have to worry about him.¡± Kisa nodded, but she could not help but think that it did not seem like Peter¡¯s personality at all. Peter was a bossy and dominant person, and when he was upset, he would vent his frustrations on someone. He would not lock himself in his room. She needed to talk to Peter about itter. Jolina still had not replied to her messages, so she could also ask Peter if he knew anything about Jolina¡¯s situation. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, have you decided where you want to go today?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t yet,¡± Kisa replied, smiling. ¡°I¡¯m not familiar with this ce, so I don¡¯t know where the fun spots are.¡± ¡°How about I take you to the most famous tourist spot around here?¡± Thomas offered enthusiastically. Kisa thought for a moment and shook her head. Chapter 1467 Chapter 1467 Chapter 1467 ¡°Adrien, you know him, right?¡± Kisa asked. Thomas¡¯ eyes sparkled with recognition. ¡°Uncle Adrien, of course I know him. The Tanner family and ours go way back. My dad would take me and Peter to visit him all the time.¡± ¡°Really? Well, he is my godfather.¡± Thomas was taken aback. ¡°What a coincidence! But you know what, Uncle Adrien never agrees to be a godfather. When my dad asked him to be ours, he refused. He must be pretty special to you.¡± ¡°Maybe he just loves daughters,¡± Kisa said nonchntly. ¡°So, what do you say we pay the Tanner family a visit today?¡± ¡°The Tanner family?¡± Thomas hesitated. ¡°Uncle Adrien isn¡¯t in Oceanville right now, and the only person at home is Mrs. Tanner Sr. She¡¯s 80 years old and doesn¡¯t even recognize her own shadow. It might be a waste of time.¡± ¡°Come on, let¡¯s just go and visit her. I came all this way, and I want to see my godfather¡¯s home.¡± Thomas shrugged. ¡°Alright then.¡± The Tanner residence was just a short half-hour drive away from the Webb family home. As soon as they pulled up, the butler, Harry Bet, came out to greet them. ¡°Ah, Thomas. Mr. Tanner is not at home.¡± ¡°This is Uncle Adrien¡¯s goddaughter. I brought her to see Mrs. Tanner Sr.,¡± Thomas exined to the butler, who eyed Kisa suspiciously. ¡°Harry, don¡¯t worry. This is Mrs. Kooper from Calthon. She¡¯s visiting and wanted to see Mrs. Tanner Sr. too.¡± Harry¡¯s face rxed into a grin. ¡°Oh, pleasee in. She¡¯s out back, soaking up the sun.¡± Thomas handed over the gifts he brought and led Kisa to the backyard. Clearly, Thomas was a regr here and knew the Tanner family like the back of his hand. As Kisa looked back, she noticed that the butler was making a phone call, probably to tell Adrien about her surprise visit. To avoid any suspicion, she would have to call him herselfter and exin everything. Mrs. Tanner Sr. was indeed in the backyard,zily sunbathing while cradling a cat. Kisa looked around at the vast mansion, which seemed eerily quiet. She turned to Thomas and whispered. Doesn¡¯t anyone else from the Tanner familye to visit Mrs. Tanner Sr.?¡± ¡°Besides Uncle Adrien and Granny, there¡¯s no one else. Since I can remember, Uncle Adrien¡¯s always been a lone wolf with no children.¡± Kisa frowned. It did not make sense to her that someone as charming and wealthy as Adrien would still be single, unless he was pining for a woman he could not have. That was why Adrien¡¯s interest in Carolyn seemed so strange to her. The two approached the elderlydy, who beamed at them with a face full of wrinkles. Kisa felt a pang of sadness as she watched her. ¡°Oh, Adrien, Molly. You guys are back,¡± Mrs. Tanner Sr. eximed. Kisa looked at Thomas in confusion, and he leaned in and whispered, ¡°Mrs. Tanner Sr. thinks I¡¯m Uncle Adrien, and you¡¯re his ex-girlfriend, Molly.¡± Kisa nodded in understanding. Mrs. Tanner Sr. suddenly reached out with her frail hand and grabbed Kisa. ¡°Molly, you need to hurry up and marry Adrien and give me a chubby little grandson to y with. I¡¯m so bored.¡± Kisa yed along. ¡°It¡¯sing. It¡¯sing.¡± Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°And Adrien, what is the hold up? Molly isn¡¯t about to ditch you just because you¡¯re not making money. She¡¯s sticking with you even though she¡¯s fighting with her family. You better treat her right, you hear me?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, I will,¡± Thomas chimed in, also going along with Mrs. Tanner Sr.¡¯s delusion. But Mrs. Tanner Sr. suddenly burst into tears. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you two end up together? You have such a good rtionship. Why didn¡¯t it work out?¡± Kisa felt perplexed. ¡®Is Mrs. Tanner Sr. suffering from dementia, or is her memory just mixed up?¡¯ Suddenly, Thomas¡¯s phone rang. Chapter 1468 Chapter 1468 Chapter 1468 As Adrien walked away to answer his phone, Mrs. Tanner Sr. grabbed Kisa¡¯s hand and said urgently, ¡°Molly, don¡¯t leave Adrien. His sudden change of character must be due to some sort of trauma. Please don¡¯t me him.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes sparkled as she responded in a low voice, ¡°He¡¯s bing someone I don¡¯t even recognize anymore. It¡¯s like he¡¯s apletely different person.¡± ¡°Yes, I know. But he truly loves you. He¡¯s just afraid of being looked down upon by your family, so he works hard to make a name for himself, sometimes neglecting you in the process. Don¡¯t me him. He is just so in love with you and wants to make something of himself. He is not only distant with you, but with me as well. He used to be so close to me, so filial, but now it is like he is a stranger. He must be under a lot of work pressure. Molly, please don¡¯t me him, okay?¡± Kisa nodded. ¡°I won¡¯t me him, Mrs. Tanner Sr. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t me him.¡± Mrs. Tanner Sr. had said too much, and her spirits seemed to droop. She stared off into the distance lost in thought. Suddenly, Harry and a few servants ran over. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, Mrs. Tanner Sr. needs to rest now. Please feel free to make yourself at home.¡± Harry said, motioning for the servants to help Mrs. Tanner Sr. back into the house. Kisa narrowed her eyes and watched as Mrs. Tanner Sr. walked away. ¡®Adrien¡¯s personality changed dramatically, like he was apletely different person. What happened?¡± She could not help but suspect that Adrien was actually David, but all the evidence pointed to the fact that he had not had stic surgery. She wondered and decided to talk to Thomas about Adrien¡¯s past, but just then Thomas who had been on the phone a moment ago was nowhere to be found in the huge backyard. Not a single soul was in sight. As she headed toward the front yard, a strange sound suddenly emanated from deep within the backyard. Kisa shivered and instinctively looked toward the deep woods at the edge of the yard. The sound was like a human moan, mixed with a growl. It was unclear and muffled, and it sent shivers down her spine. Despite feeling a little scared, she knew that Adrien was full of mysteries and that this house was full of them too. ¡°Woo¡­woo¡­woo¡­¡± Suddenly, the sound returned. It was intermittent and unclear, but it was definitelying from the yard. Driven by curiosity, Kisa began to walk toward the depths of the backyard. Like the Mullen residence, the Tanner residence also had many trees, especially in the backyard. Even with the sun shining, it was still eerie. Kisa did not dare to walk too far. She looked inside and made sure there was nothing there before turning back. However, just as she turned around, the sound came back again. This time, it was even clearer, as if it was swirling around her. It sent chills down her spine. She carefully looked around, but there was nothing around her. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Woo¡­woo¡­¡± This time, Kisa heard it clearly. It sounded like a person crying, full of sadness and sorrow. She hugged herself and looked down. The sound was clearlying from around her, but there was no living thing in sight. There was only one possibility: there was a basement nearby, and the sound wasing from it. She took a few steps forward, hoping to find some kind of marking on the ground. Suddenly, her phone rang. She was startled and quickly silenced it. It was Gilbert calling. She looked around and then answered the phone. Chapter 1469 Chapter 1469 Chapter 1469 ¡°Where are you?¡± Gilbert asked. ¡°I¡¯m with Thomas at the moment-¡± Before Kisa could finish her sentence, a flurry of urgent footsteps interrupted her. Startled, she quickly hung up the phone and darted behind a nearby tree trunk. Suddenly, Harry and a few bodyguards came running in her direction. Harry looked around frantically before fixing his gaze on a particr spot on the ground. ¡°You cry every damn day for years, never giving it a rest, as if you¡¯re afraid people will forget you exist, right?¡± Harry snarled, stomping on the ground and barking orders to his men. ¡°Get her some foodter so she doesn¡¯t keep making a fuss.¡± ¡°Yes, Harry,¡± they replied obediently. Once the men left, Kisa carefully inspected the spot where Harry had stomped and discovered a hidden lock within the grass. The grass around the lock seemed to be slightly loosened, so she lifted it, revealing a hidden iron door beneath it. The sobbing sound from earlier hade from behind that door. ¡®Who¡¯s trapped inside?¡¯ she wondered. Worried that someone mighte, she quickly covered the iron door with grass and hurried toward the front yard. Thomas was already waiting at the front gate and rushed over when he saw her approach. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, where did you go? I couldn¡¯t find you anywhere.¡± ¡°Sorry. I just went to the restroom.¡± Harry was watching her closely, so Kisa deliberately turned to him and said, ¡°By the way, Harry, I heard a strange noise when I was in the bathroom earlier. It was really creepy.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Harry chuckled. ¡°That is just our Tibetan Mastiff.¡± ¡°Tibetan Mastiff?¡± ¡°Absolutely! Mr. Tanner has a massive Tibetan Mastiff. But it¡¯s bitten someone, and he has to lock it up in the basement of the backyard. That beast keeps trying to escape and makes a lot of noise. Didn¡¯t it scare you?¡± Kisa shook her head and replied, ¡°As long as it¡¯s locked up, I¡¯m good.¡± ¡°Indeed, Mr. Tanner couldn¡¯t bring himself to put the poor thing down. After all, he¡¯s grown attached to it over time.¡± Kisa chuckled and nodded, ¡°That¡¯s my godfather, always so kind-hearted.¡± On the way back, Kisa asked Thomas, ¡°Did my godfather use to have a Tibetan Mastiff?¡± ¡°Yep, he did have one. But he stopped keeping it after it bit someone, and I have no idea where it went. If Harry hadn¡¯t mentioned it today, I would have assumed that beast was long gone.¡± Kisa furrowed her brow. ¡®It couldn¡¯t possibly be a Tibetan Mastiff locked up in that basement. The sobbing sound was filled with sadness, anger, and despair, making the emotions incrediblyplex. Could an animal even have suchplex feelings?¡± She could not shake the feeling that it might be a person locked up in there. ¡®But if it is a person, why is the person speaking up? ¡°Hey, Thomas,¡± she asked, ¡°How well do you know my godfather?¡± Thomas thought for a moment and said, ¡°I know him pretty well. I used to hang out at Uncle Adrien¡¯s house all the time when I was younger.¡± ¡°So, what is the deal with him and his ex-girlfriend? I heard my grandmother talking about it earlier. Not wanting Thomas to overthink, Kisa exined further, ¡°My godfather has never told me about these private matters before. But when I heard Mrs. Tanner Sr. talk like that, it piqued my curiosity, you know?¡± Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Not much of a secret, really.¡± Thomas gave her a warm smile and said, ¡°Rumor has it that Uncle Adrien once had a girlfriend whom he adored, but her family thought he was too poor for her and refused to let them be together. So, he started working hard to make more money and prove himself to the family. But here¡¯s the kicker-when he finally got rich, he left his loyal girlfriend behind. I asked him why he did that, and he told me he just didn¡¯t feel the love anymore and parting ways was the best ending.¡± Chapter 1470 Chapter 1470 Chapter 1470 ¡°Did he really just fall out of love?¡± she wondered, but her gut told her something else. ¡°Mrs. Tanner Sr. said he changedpletely after he struck it rich, but my father says otherwise.¡± Thomas shook his head in response. ¡°Maybe his feelings just changed,¡± Kisa mused, though she still had her doubts about Adrien. ¡®It¡¯s not impossible for a man to ditch his girlfriend once he bes wealthy. But even his own mother says he has changed, and that¡¯s odd. What if he isn¡¯t even Adrien to begin with?¡¯ Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. The thought made her shudder, and she hugged herself tightly. It felt like she was on the brink of a significant discovery, but the more she thought, the more her mind spun. As Kisa returned to the Webb residence, she sensed a tense atmosphere in the living room. Before she could get a closer look, Mr. Webb Sr. approached her. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, you¡¯re finally back. Mr. Kooper was worried sick.¡± Just then, Kisa saw Gilbert sitting on the couch. His face had darkened, his aura was menacing. ¡®He¡¯s not worried, he¡¯s angry,¡¯ Kisa thought to herself. Thomas parked the car and walked in. But the moment he arrived; Mr. Webb Sr. unleashed a torrent of insults at him. ¡°You useless piece of junk! I told you to take Mrs. Kooper to Oceanville for a nice time, but you just lost her. Do you know how worried Mr. Kooper was? Don¡¯t you have anymon sense? Didn¡¯t you think to report to Mr. Kooper before you left? Thank goodness Mrs. Kooper didn¡¯t get hurt. Otherwise, your life wouldn¡¯t be worth a damn.¡± Thomas simply bowed his head and took the verbalshing without a word. ¡°Thomas did nothing wrong,¡± Kisa interjected, trying to defend him. ¡°You can¡¯t just berate him like that. Besides, wherever we went, it was at my request. He took great care of me on the trip. I don¡¯t understand why you are yelling at him like this.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, Mrs. Kooper.¡± Thomas suddenly tugged at her sleeve and gave her a faint smile. ¡°My father was right. I acted rashly and caused Mr. Kooper to worry.¡± Kisa was getting worked up ¡°Come on, Thomas. It is clearly-¡± ¡°That is enough!¡± Gilbert abruptly seized her arm and snapped, ¡°You think you haven¡¯t caused enough trouble for them?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t be serious!¡± Kisa looked at Gilbert dumbfounded, unable toprehend what kind of trouble she had caused. ¡°Mr. Webb Sr., thank you for your hospitality. Kisa needs some rest now. I¡¯ll take her upstairs if you don¡¯t mind,¡± Gilbert said. Mr. Webb Sr. chuckled and replied, ¡°Not at all. I¡¯m just d she¡¯s back safe and sound.¡± Gilbert dragged Kisa up the stairs. As she nced back, she saw Mr. Webb Sr. giving Thomas a good scolding. She started to wonder if he was being too harsh on Thomas. As they reached the room, Gilbert shut the door and leaned against it, adjusting his tie as he gazed at Kisa with cold eyes. ? Kisa felt shivers down her spine under his intense gaze, ¡°What¡¯s gotten into you? I only went out with Thomas. Was it necessary to make such a fuss about it?¡± ¡°Why did you hang up on me?¡± he asked icily. Kisa was taken aback, realizing only then that he had indeed called her earlier. She scrambled to exin, ¡°I was in a tight spot at the time and had to hang up. It wasn¡¯t intentional.¡± ¡°At the time, I get it. But, an hour ago, I called you again. Why didn¡¯t you answer?¡± ¡°What?¡± Chapter 1471 Chapter 1471 Chapter 1471 Kisa frantically dug through her bag and pulled out her phone, only to find a barrage of missed calls. She had silenced it earlier and forgot to turn the ringer back on. ¡°Kisa, haven¡¯t I told you to give me a heads up before gallivanting off? If you weren¡¯t carrying my child, I wouldn¡¯t care about your well-being. You want to be a loose cannon, go ahead. Once the baby is born, you can go wherever you please and do whatever you damn well want. I won¡¯t bat an eysh!¡± Gilbert barked. ¡°That¡¯s not what happened.¡± Gilbert was livid, and Kisa could not figure out why She quickly took hold of his arm and exined, ¡°I didn¡¯t go anywhere today except for Adrien¡¯s house. Thomas was super nice to me and made sure I was okay the whole time. You really don¡¯t need to worry.¡± ¡°But this is Oceanville, not Calthon. You¡¯re off doing God knows what, ignoring my calls. How can I guarantee the safety of my child? Kisa, if something happens to my child, you¡¯ll be the one held ountable.¡± Gilbert¡¯s fury caused his words to spill out without much thought. The woman in front of him suddenly went silent, her lowered gaze hinting at a tinge of sadness. Gilbert instantly regretted his outburst. He impatiently kicked the chair in front of him, then sat on the windowsill, his hand cradling his forehead. Kisa gazed at him before finally making her way to sit across from him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll do whatever it takes to keep this child safe.¡± Gilbert scoffed, ¡°Do you really give a damn about this child?¡± ¡°Believe it or not, this child is my reason for living.¡± Gilbert chuckled and nced out the window, clearly not believing what she just said. But Kisa did not want to waste her breath, knowing that words would not make a difference until the matter was resolved. She recalled the strange noise she heard earlier today at the Tanner residence and turned to Gilbert with a serious look on her face. ¡°Do you have anyone reliable here who can sneak into the Tanner residence?¡± Gilbert looked back at her, intrigued. Kisa continued. ¡°I discovered a basement in the Tanner residence¡¯s backyard, and the butler said they keep a Tibetan Mastiff there. But I have a feeling it is not a dog.¡± ¡°What do you think it is?¡± ¡°A person.¡± All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Shock registered on Gilbert¡¯s face, and he sneered after a moment, ¡°I thought you were tight with Adrien. Why the sudden urge to investigate him again? What¡¯s your angle?¡± ¡°Actually, I first suspected that he was your uncle, David.¡± ¡°Impossible,¡± Gilbert scowled. ¡°Yeah, I realized thatter. After all, there were no signs of stic surgery on his face. But I have a feeling he¡¯s hiding something, and that basement¡¯s one of his secrets. Can you-¡± ¡°I¡¯ll see what I can do in a few days. I need to get a chance to check out the Tanner residence first, ¡°Gilbert replied nonchntly. ¡°Thanks.¡± Kisa smiled. But Gilbert ignored her, just fidgeting with his cigarette box. After staring at him for a while, Kisa did not bother him further. Later in the evening, she called Adrien and told him about her visit to the Tanner residence to see Mrs. Tanner Sr. From Adrien¡¯s tone, he did not seem suspicious of her. But he did mention that he got engaged to Carolyn, and the wedding was at the end of next month. Kisa was shocked by this news. She had not expected Adrien to be truly in love with Carolyn. However, on the day of the wedding, Kisa would learn that Adrien¡¯s so-called ¡°love¡± was actually a well- nned revenge. Chapter 1472 Chapter 1472 Chapter 1472 It was dinner time, but Thomas was nowhere to be found. Kisa headed to the kitchen to arrange some grub for him, only to find that the servants had already prepared two portions of food. Kisa shed a smile at one of the servants and said, ¡°I will take one of them to Thomas.¡± The servant looked at her awkwardly and said, ¡°These are for Peter.¡± Kisa was confused. ¡°Hold up! Isn¡¯t this two servings? Is he seriously about to eat two identical meals all by himself?¡± ¡°There¡¯s more to it than just Peter,¡± the servant said eagerly, but the older servant cut her off with a quick nudge to the arm. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, Peter has been eating like a horsetely. He can finish two servings of food no problem!¡± eximed the older servant. ¡°Are you thinking of sending some food over to Thomas? I can cook it up for you right now.¡± With a quick nod to the other servant, she motioned for her to take the dishes away. Kisa furrowed her brows, deep in thought. ¡®Has Peter been eating well recently? If that¡¯s the case. how come he has shed so much weight? Plus, even if he does have a big appetite, knowing his picky personality, would he really chow down on two portions of the same meal? What¡¯s up with him? The servant ended up cooking a steaming te of spaghetti for Thomas, which Kisa happily took up to him. However, on the way, she bumped into Gilbert, who stood with his arms folded, leaning against the doorframe. ¡°Wow, you are just overflowing with kindness to everyone,¡± he sneered, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Kisa was not having it. ¡°Thomas got chewed out because of me. It is only right that I go and check on him.¡± Gilbert snorted and stalked off to his room, mming the door so hard that the whole house shook. Kisa pursed her lips and walked toward Thomas¡¯s room, carrying a tray in one hand and knocking on the door with the other. After a while, the door opened, apanied by the pungent smell of smoke. Kisa waved her hand to clear the air and looked at the man standing at the door. In the daytime, Thomas wore a pair of gold-rimmed sses and always greeted people with a smile, giving the impression of a refined and cultured gentleman. But now, without his sses and with disheveled hair, he seemed rather despondent and distant. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, do you need something?¡± Thomas asked, noticing her distaste for the smell of smoke and quickly extinguishing his cigarette. Kisa smiled at him. ¡°I noticed you didn¡¯t have dinner, so I brought you some spaghetti. It was made by your servant.¡± Thomas reluctantly smiled and stepped aside to let her in. The room was dark, with the curtains tightly closed. After Kisa entered, Thomas turned on the main light, and the room was instantly as bright as day. She ced the spaghetti on a low table and urged him to eat. ¡°Come on, it¡¯s still hot.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Thomas said, his face filled with a hint of sadness.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Kisa felt guilty and apologetic. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry about what happened today. It¡¯s my fault that you got scolded. I never thought Mr. Webb Sr. would me you for such a trivial matter, especially when you didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡± Thomas sighed. ¡°That¡¯s just how he is. He¡¯s strict with me, and sometimes I feel like he¡¯s using me as his punching bag. I even wonder if I¡¯m really his son because he treats me and Peter so differently. Throughout my life, he has always favored Peter, and no matter who did something wrong, I always ended up getting punished.¡± Thomas spoke with bitterness and suddenly took a sip of his drink, his face filled with mncholy and gloom. Kisa looked at him intently, not knowing what to say. But then a bold guess suddenly shed through her mind. When she did not say anything, Thomas awkwardlyughed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my own family matters. I didn¡¯t mean to burden you with my problems.¡± She shook her head and stared at him without blinking. ¡°Peter told me that you have a crimson birthmark on your chest. Do you mind if I take a look?¡± Chapter 1473 Chapter 1473 Chapter 1473 Thomas was taken aback for a moment. Kisa quickly exined, ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong, Peter just said¡­ he said that you both have an identical birthmark on your chest. So, I was curious.¡± Her voice grew softer and softer toward the end of the sentence. Seeing Thomas remain skeptical, she said, ¡°Actually, my mother also has a birthmark in the same spot. And I have an older brother who has never been seen. When I saw Peter¡¯s birthmark, I thought he might be my long-lost brother. But he said you have the same birthmark, so I wanted to take a look.¡± After a moment of hesitation, Thomas smiled and said, ¡°Oh, I see. No problem, let me show you.¡± He unbuttoned his shirt to reveal the blood-red birthmark on his chest. It was identical to Peter¡¯s and just like the one Kisa remembered on her mother. ¡®But how could this be? Does the birthmark really mean nothing?¡± she wondered. Thomas stared at Kisa¡¯s stunned expression for a moment before chuckling and asking. ¡°Mrs. Kooper, are you looking for your long-lost brother?¡± Kisa nodded silently. Thomas then asked, ¡°Besides the birthmark, is there anything else that could prove his identity?¡± Kisa shook her head, but then remembered something and quickly said, ¡°Yes, there¡¯s a bracelet.¡± ¡°A bracelet?¡± Thomas suddenly became serious. Kisa asked, puzzled, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Thomas shook his head hastily and asked, ¡°Mrs. Kooper, are you suspecting that Peter and I are your brothers because of the birthmark?¡± Kisa pursed her lips and said nothing. Thomas sighed and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s possible, because Peter and I are fraternal twins. I¡¯m only a few minutes older than him and we don¡¯t look exactly alike. And our mother ran away with someone else when we were very young, so we couldn¡¯t be your brothers.¡± Kisa stumbled out of Thomas¡¯s room, feeling utterly lost and confused. ording to Thomas, he and Peter could not possibly be her brothers. That birthmark on Peter¡¯s chest must have been just a coincidence. But if they are twins, why does Mr Webb Sr treat them so differently? And why did Thomas react so strangely when I mentioned the word ¡± bracelet¡±? Is he hiding something?¡± Lost in thought, Kisa made her way back to her room, only to collide with a solid wall of muscle. Looking up, she saw Gilbert¡¯s brooding gaze ¡°Still up?¡± she greeted him, trying to sound casual as she brushed past him and flopped onto her bed. Gilbert gave her a cold stare. ¡°It took you an hour to deliver a te of spaghetti. What were you doing?¡± Kisa did not have the energy to argue. She rolled over and looked at his rigid profile, then asked in a sulky tone, ¡°Can you find out about a pregnant woman¡¯s delivery 30 years ago?¡± ¡°What do you want this time?¡± The man¡¯s tone was cold and hostile. Kisa decided toe clean. ¡°I forgot to tell you; I have another brother. He was born to my mother and your uncle. I want to find him.¡± Gilbert stared at her for a long time saying nothing. Kisa smiled, but said nothing either, just turning to look out the window. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. After a while, Gilbert spoke up. Chapter 1474 Chapter 1474 Chapter 1474 ¡°I might not be able to find it, but Kelvin can definitely get to the bottom of this,¡± Gilbert said. Kisa¡¯s heart raced, and she pulled out her phone to call Kelvin. Kelvin was a big shot in the medical world, and sure enough, the investigation results were in the very next afternoon. ¡®No way! Mrs. Webb Sr. didn¡¯t have twins at all. She only had one kid. So why on earth did Thomas tell me he and Peter were twins? Or maybe Thomas was bamboozled too? And this con has been going on for thirty years! What the heck was the goal of the person who cooked up this scheme? As Kisa pored over the info, Gilbert suddenly piped up, ¡°So, your visit to Oceanville wasn¡¯t just to see my uncle, was it? You¡¯re also on the hunt for your brother, and you think he might be one of the Webb brothers, am I right?¡± ¡°Yep, they have got the same birthmark as my mom,¡± Kisa confirmed. ¡°Speaking of that birthmark, doesn¡¯t it strike you as kind of fishy?¡± Gilbert chuckled. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Kisa eyed him suspiciously. ¡°You only have one brother, but both Webb bros have the same darn birthmark. That seems like a mighty big coincidence, doesn¡¯t it?¡± Kisa stayed silent as Gilbert continued. ¡°And let¡¯s not forget about the twins. Mrs. Webb Sr. only had one kid, yet the Webb family was going around town iming that she had twins. Doesn¡¯t that seem a little odd to you?¡± Kisa scrunched up her face. ¡°Are you trying to tell me that¡­¡± ¡°Yup, you got it. The reason they pulled this stunt was to keep one of the children hidden away. And that child might just be your brother.¡± All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Could it be Thomas?¡± Gilbert shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Mr. Webb Sr. treats his two sons too differently. It seems intentional.¡± Kisa¡¯s hands clenched tightly as she spoke in a low voice. ¡°Then I¡¯ll find a way to get a DNA test with both Thomas and Peter separately.¡± Gilbert sneered and looked down. ¡°This is Oceanville. Everywhere you go, the Webb family has eyes and ears. The results of the DNA test you get may not be reliable.¡± Kisa pursed her lips. She found that Gilbert had a point. The DNA test she had taken with Andrew and Ada had been tampered with, or else she would have known that the two children were hers much earlier. Seeing Kisa¡¯s expression, Gilbert casually said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Now that you have a target, you will surely find your brother.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Kisa replied, looking at him sincerely. Gilbert chuckled lightly and sneered. ¡°What good is thanking me with words? Will a person like you really understand gratitude?¡± He then looked into her eyes and continued. ¡°I helped you, loved you, and spoiled you. Will you forget all the past grievances and stay with me? No, you won¡¯t! Even though you say thank you, you will still join forces with those people toe after me, won¡¯t you?¡± Kisa struggled to find words as she watched his mocking smile. Nowadays, no matter how much she talked, it would be all in vain. In the dead of night, Thomas rummaged through every nook and cranny of his room until he pulled out a wooden box from the deepest drawer. With a red cloth wrapped around it, the box held a bracelet. He gazed at it for what seemed like an eternity, until a realization washed over him, making him chuckle. bitterly and shed tears at the same time. ¡°Ah, so that¡¯s it. That¡¯s it,¡± he murmured as he held the bracelet in his hand and rushed out of his room. Peter had juste downstairs when he saw his elder brother charge toward the study like a man possessed. He furrowed his brow and followed suit, unsure of what was happening. Chapter 1475 Chapter 1475 Chapter 1475 In the Webb family¡¯s study, Mr. Webb Sr. gazed at a bracelet on his desk, his lips pursed in silence. Thomas looked at him, his face full of self-deprecation. ¡°I¡¯ve never understood why you treat me and Peter so differently. I used tofort myself that maybe it was because I¡¯m the eldest son, so you were overly strict with me. But now I understand that you hate me, you¡¯re incredibly harsh on me not to toughen me up, but because I¡¯m not one of the Webb family¡¯s children.¡± Mr. Webb Sr. puffed on his cigar, looking at him. ¡°Who has been filling your head with this nonsense?¡± ¡°No one has been filling my head with anything¡± Thomas replied, his emotions rising. ¡°Kisa has been searching for her brother who has a blood-red birthmark on his chest and a bracelet. So please exin, what¡¯s the deal with the birthmark on my chest and this bracelet?¡± Mr. Webb Sr. exhaled a smoke ring slowly. ¡°Don¡¯t forget that Peter also has a birthmark on his chest and a bracelet like this.¡± ¡°But Peter couldn¡¯t possibly be her brother. You love Peter so much; how could he be someone else¡¯s child? Dad, I won¡¯t argue about how you have treated me differently all these years. I just want to know if I¡¯m really your biological child or not.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Mr. Webb Sr. answered without hesitation, his tone affirmative. ¡°You are my child, the Webb family¡¯s child.¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible,¡± Thomas argued, his emotions surging. ¡°If I really am the Webb family¡¯s child, why were you so harsh and strict with me all these years?¡± Mr. Webb Sr. pursed his lips and remained silent. Thomas looked at him andughed self-deprecatingly. ¡°Dad, you don¡¯t have to keep lying to me. Even if I¡¯m not the Webb family¡¯s child, I still appreciate all the care and upbringing you have given me. But since I¡¯m not your child, it is not appropriate for me to stay here any longer. I have thought about it for a long time and decided to move out.¡± Thomas picked up the bracelet from the desk and started walking out. Mr. Webb Sr. quickly stopped him, seemingly struggling for a while before he frowned helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s exactly because you are my biological child that I have the right to be strict with you. On the other hand, I can only spoil the child of someone who has helped us. Do you understand?¡± Thomas was shaken to his core. He turned around in disbelief to face Mr. Webb Sr. and asked, ¡°Peter is the son of our benefactor? You mean to say that he¡¯s the child of the Kooper family¡¯s eldest son?¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Mr. Webb Sr. heaved a heavy sigh and took a drag of his cigar. ¡°The Kooper family¡¯s eldest son did me a great favor in the past, and I owe him my life. It was only right for me to raise his child.¡± ¡°So, Peter¡¯s father is really the Kooper family¡¯s eldest son, and he is really Kisa¡¯s brother?¡± Outside the room, Peter stood motionless, as if struck by lightning. ¡°Then what about the birthmark on my chest and this bracelet?¡± Thomas asked urgently. ¡°Peter is the child of the Kooper family¡¯s eldest son and Emilia,¡± Mr. Webb Sr. replied. ¡°The Kooper family¡¯s eldest son brought the child to me and entrusted me to take care of him. He also instructed me to hide the child¡¯s identity. Since you and Peter were born around the same time, I announced to the world that you were twins, and I had a reputable doctor ce a birthmark identical to Peter¡¯s on your chest.¡± ¡°So, this bracelet is also a copy of his?¡± Thomas asked. Mr. Webb Sr. nodded. ¡°To avoid suspicion about Peter¡¯s identity, I showered him with love and attention from a young age and neglected you. I¡¯m sorry, son. I¡¯ve let you down all these years.¡± Thomas gave a bitterugh. ¡°So, I¡¯ve be a tool to hide his true identity.¡± Mr. Webb Sr. tightly gripped his son¡¯s arm and urgently said, ¡°It¡¯s not like that. I¡¯m just helping Peter because of a debt I owe. In my heart, you¡¯re the only son I have, my own flesh and blood.¡± All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Outside, the snowkes were gently falling, covering the Oceanvillendscape in a nket of white. Peter silently chuckled to himself and turned, his long shadow following him as he walked down the corridor. Suddenly, he felt like he was a joke, an outcast, an unworthy fool. Meanwhile, Kisa could not sleep and decided to look out the window. Instead, she saw Peter standing alone in the snow. Ever since the first day she met the Webb family, she had sensed that there was something off about Peter. Seeing him stand there motionless, Kisa furrowed her brow and grabbed her coat from the chair. But just as she was about to leave, Gilbert¡¯s cold voice stopped her in her tracks. ¡°What are you doing up at this hour?¡± Gilbert snapped. ¡°You go back to sleep. I¡¯m going downstairs for a bit. I¡¯ll be back soon,¡± Kisa replied, without looking back. Gilbert was furious and threw off his covers. He pulled on his coat and headed to the window, his irritation palpable. Kisa bundled up in her coat and caught up with Peter, eyeing him curiously. ¡°It¡¯ste and it¡¯s snowing What are you doing standing out here?¡± she asked. Peter turned slowly, his eyes staring at hers. There was a strange glint in them, one that Kisa could not quite decipher. It was a mix of doubt, mockery, and sorrow. It was the first time she had seen such a complicated emotion in his eyes. She anxiously asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on, Peter?¡± ¡°What is the point of existence?¡± Peter asked suddenly. Kisa was taken aback. She could not understand how the usually arrogant and domineering Peter had suddenly be so sentimental. She eximed, ¡°What is wrong with you? Are you still upset about the marriage your father arranged for you? You don¡¯t have to worry about it. If you don¡¯t like it, just refuse it. By the way, have you heard from Jolinately? Since you returned to Oceanville, she has left Calthon, saying that there was some trouble at home. I have been trying to contact her, but-hey-¡± Kisa did not finish her sentence before she saw Peter turning around and walking out of the courtyard She hurriedly caught up with him, but he suddenly turned around and growled at her in disgust, ¡°Don¡¯t follow me!¡± Kisa was taken aback by his outburst. He was crying andughing at the same time, like a bundle of contradictions. He shook his head continuously and murmured, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have existed. I shouldn¡¯t have existed in this world¡­¡± He muttered to himself and suddenly ran outside as if he had gone mad. As Kisa watched Peter storm out into the darkness, she could not help but wonder what had happened to him. ¡°He¡¯s usually so confident and full of himself, but now he seems like apletely different person.¡¯ Meanwhile, Gilbert was sulking in the corner, smoking his cigarette and stewing over his jealousy. He hated how Kisa seemed to only care about everyone else. The level of hate he gave off was nothing compared to his unwavering obsession with her. Kisa climbed up the stairs, lost in her thoughts. She was so engrossed in her own musings that she found herself on the third floor without even realizing it. As she was about to turn around and head back, she heard a loud thuding from one of the rooms nearby. Curiosity piqued, Kisa looked around. ording to the grapevine, only Peter from the Webb family lived on the third floor. Everyone else, including her and Gilbert, resided on the second floor.

So she wondered who possibly was in that room now that Peter had already left. Chapter 1477 Chapter 1477 Chapter 1477 As she thought about it, she remembered the day the servant had prepared two identical meals for Peter. A sudden suspicion crept up on her. ¡®Could there be someone else in Peter''s room?'' Her eyes narrowed as she walked up to the door and tried to turn the knob, but it would not budge. She pursed her lips and then whispered into the room, "Jolina, is that you?" But there was no answer. She wondered if she was being too suspicious. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the sound of breaking dishesing from inside the room. Her heart sank. ¡®Could Jolina really be locked up in there?" Kisa''s eyes darted toward the lock, and then she spun around and bolted down the stairs. She burst into the room to find Gilbert coolly smoking by the window. She did not waste any time exining the situation to him and started rummaging through her things for wire or anything that could help her pick the lock. "I suspect Jolina is locked upstairs. I''m going up to pick the lock and see. You get ready, if Jolina is up there, I want to get her out of here tonight," Kisa said. But Gilbert crushed his cigarette and strode over, grabbing her by the cor and snapped at her, "Why do you always have to get involved in other people''s business? This is the Webb family, Kisa. Can''t you just leave it alone?" ¡°Jolina isn''t just anybody; she''s my friend," Kisa brushed off his hand and said coolly. "You should get some rest. If Ido manage to rescue her, I''ll take care of her myself." Gilbert''s eyes bore into hers, and he lets out a sarcastic chuckle. "I should''ve known better than to bring you here." Kisa rummaged through the cab, pulling out two thin wires. She clenched her jaw and said firmly, ''You go ahead and get some rest. If it really is Jolina, I''ll make sure she''s safe and sound before Ie back." "This is Oceanville, the territory of the Webb family. Where do you think is a safe ce?" Gilbert said. Kisa remained silent, gripping the wire and walking toward the door, leaving him staring at her coldly. "Davian just called, and GK is in crisis," he said, his eyes fixed on her back. Kisa froze for a moment, her lips sealed shut. He continued. "I told you, if you want GK, just ask. Why go through all this trouble?" Kisa bit her lip, her voice strained. "You''ll understand everything I''ve done soon enough." With that, she hurriedly left the room. Behind her, the sound of a man pounding on the window echoed through the silence. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Kisa gritted her teeth. ''GK is falling apart, and Adrien''s true face is about to surface. It''s almost over.'' She made her way to the third floor. She had plenty of experience picking locks, and with a few twists of the wire, she opened the door in front of her. The room was lit up, and as Kisa pushed the door open, she sawa woman lying on the carpet. The woman was emaciated, and her clothes hung off her in an unusuallyrge size. Kisa rushed over to her. "Jolina, is it you?" The woman moved slightly, struggling to lift her head. Kisa''s heart skipped a beat. It really was Jolina, but she had lost the vitality and color she once had. She was thin and frail, her face almost sickly white. "Kisa..." Jolina said, tears streaming down her face. Kisa hurried over and hugged her. "How did this happen? How did they lock you up here?" "It was... it was Peter," Jolina said, her eyes filled with hatred. Kisa held her tight. "Don''t worry. I''ll get you out of here. We''ll leave right now." She put a thick, long down jacket on Jolina and helped her walk outside. As they stepped into the yard, a beam of headlights suddenly shone on them. Chapter 1478 Chapter 1478 Chapter 1478 Kisa''s heart skipped a beat, thinking it was Peter returning. But when she looked closer, it was Gilbert. He had somehow managed to get a car and was leaning against the door, waiting for her. ¡°Aren''t you leaving yet?" the man impatiently urged when he saw Kisa frozen in ce. Kisa quickly helped Jolina and moved toward the car, wondering why Gilbert was suddenly willing to help her. She looked at his cold, tense profile for a moment before finally murmuring, "Thank you." Gilbert ignored her and started the car. As they merged onto the main road, he suddenly asked, ''Do you know where you''re going?" Kisa hesitated and looked toward Jolina, who was staring down with a trembling lip. Kisa let out a sigh and said, "Let''s find a hotel for now." ¡°A hotel?" Gilbert chuckled. "This is Oceanville. Peter will find her in no time." Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Kisa was crestfallen, but Jolina suddenly spoke up, her voice slow but firm. "It''s okay. I''ll try to leave the city. He won''t find me." Kisa hugged Jolina tightly and reassured her. "Don''t worry. We''ll get you to a ce where he can''t find you." Gilbert only smirked and took them to a small, unremarkable hotel where he used someone else''s ID to check them in. After sending Jolina to the room, Kisa went to buy some food and clothes for her. When she came back, Jolina was huddled in the corner, shivering. Kisa''s heart ached for her, and she rushed over to hug her, whispering, "It''s okay. We''ll leave this ce and go somewhere where he''ll never find us." Jolina shook her head, tears streaming down her face as she cried out, "He won''t let me go. Wherever I go, he will find me. I never knew he was such a paranoid person. Before, he would force me, but he never imprisoned me like this. Kisa, he is bing more and more terrifying. I shouldn''t have met him in the first ce or gotten involved in his affairs. If I could turn back time, I would never have anything to do with him." Jolina spoke in a panicked tone and gasped for air as she finished, copsing into Kisa''s embrace and struggling to catch her breath. Gilbert stood by the window, smoking a cigarette. The snow outside was falling harder and harder, as if it were the night the prison caught fire. He could not help but turn to Kisa and feel grateful that she was still alive. All the resentment and hatred did not matter as long as she was alive. If she wanted GK or everything he had, it did not matter. As the cigarette burned down, he extinguished it and said to Kisa, " Let''s go back." Kisa pursed her lips and said, "You can go back without me. I''ll stay here with her tonight." Before Gilbert could say anything, Jolina quickly interjected, "No need, Kisa. You don''t have to stay with me. I''m fine. You should go back with Mr. Kooper while Peter is still not around. This way, he won''t suspect anything on your heads. Plus I''m sure you came to Oceanville for a reason, don''t let my situation dy it." Kisa wanted to say something, but Jolina pushed her and said, "Go back with Mr. Kooper. I really am okay. My parents and brother are waiting for me at home. Once I''m well enough, I will go back too." As Jolina spoke, her tearful eyes were filled with determination and hope. ¡®Yes, she is different from Lea. She has her family''s love, but Lea had nothing except Anthony. She won''t do anything foolish like Lea did.'' Kisa thought, tightening her grip on Jolina''s hand. "I''ll go deal with Peter first, and I''lle see you early tomorrow. Rest well, and once you''re feeling better, I''ll take you out of Oceanville." Chapter 1479 Chapter 1479 Chapter 1479 Jolina vigorously nodded her head, her pallid face finally regaining some color. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. On the way back, Kisa was weighed down with heavy thoughts. Gilbert spoke in a subdued tone, ¡°Actually, we can take her away from Oceanville tonight." Kisa did not respond. Gilbert continued. "But you and I both know that Peter has gone mad. She can''t escape. No matter where she goes, with Peter''s resources and power, he''ll surely catch her soon. So the problem lies with Peter. If you really want to help her, you can only convince Peter to let her go." Kisa felt powerless. ¡®If it were that easy for Peter to let go, he wouldn''t have such an obsession.'' ¡°Do you think Peter loves Jolina?" Kisa murmured while gazing out the window at the heavy snowfall. Gilbert smirked. ''''A man who has gone crazy over a woman, do you think he loves her?" He had been the same way with her in the past. He chuckled self- deprecatingly. "This kind of obsessive love, isn''t it a burden for you guys?" Kisa looked at him in surprise. "Why would you say that?" ¡°Nothing,¡± Gilbert replied as he turned the steering wheel and slowly drove into the mansion area. Kisa did not dwell on that question. She craned her neck to see the Webb residence''s situation. It was still as dimly lit as when they left. It seemed that Peter had not yet returned. However, she was now worried. ¡®If I can''t convince Peter to let go, Jolina will truly be unable to break free. But how could I convince Peter to let go?'' Kisa got out of the car with a heavy heart. Just as she stood still, her neck was suddenly tightly pinched by an icy cold hand. Before she could react, she was mmed against the car door by a fierce and brutal force. "Where''s Jolina?" Peter''s voice echoed through the dimly lit courtyard. Kisa stared at him, momentarily breathless as he emerged from the shadows, looking like a demon escaped from hell, ruthless and bloodthirsty. ¡°Release her, and I''ll tell you where she is," Gilbert countered, his voice cold and steady. "You can''t, Gilbert... ah!" Kisa''s plea was cut off as Peter tightened his grip around her neck, threatening to snap it like a twig. Gilbert''s eyes narrowed as he watched the scene unfold before him. "You harm her, and I will harm Jolina," he warned, his tone icy and resolute. Peter''s intense, ck gaze shifted back to Kisa, and for a moment, his expression showing mixed emotions. But then, with a sudden roar, he flipped her over onto the ground. Kisa braced herself, her hands instinctively protecting her pregnant belly, as Gilbert rushed to her side, shielding her from Peter''s wrath. "Where is Jolina?" Peter growled; his voice strained with suppressed rage. He was as tightly wound as a beast on the brink of exploding. Kisa held tight to Gilbert''s arm, silently urging him not to reveal Jolina''s location. She knew that in Peter''s current state, he would stop at nothing to find her, even if it meant putting her in danger. Gilbert hesitated, ncing down at Kisa''s hand on his arm. Then, with a deep breath, he faced Peter. "She doesn''t love you, Peter. Even if I told you where she was, what good would it do? She''ll just run away again. Her heart isn''t with you." Gilbert''s words dripped with sarcasm, but they were also tinged with bitterness. He knew all too well the pain of holding onto someone who did not love him back. Peter shook his head, his eyes wild and unfocused. ¡°Shut up! You don''t know anything! If you say one more word, I''ll kill you!" With that, he brandished a knife, pressing it dangerously close to Gilbert''s neck. Chapter 1480 Chapter 1480 Chapter 1480 Kisa''s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively grabbed Gilbert''s arm tightly. She looked at Peter, her voice trembling. "Don''t do anything stupid. Let''s talk this through." Peter shook his head, enunciating each word. "I just want to know where Jolina is." Watching Peter with his psycho obsession, Kisa groaned in frustration." You''ve already put Jolina through so much pain and suffering. What the hell do you want from her now? I thought you loved her. If that is the case, why don''t you do right by her? Treat her well instead of terrorizing her. You''re just pushing her away and driving her to the brink of insanity." ¡°Shut the hell up!" Peter was beyond reasoning with, muttering like a madman. "Uncle Adrien was right. If I can''t have Jolina, no one can. I will destroy everything in my path. We will go down in mes together... hahaha... hahaha..." Peter broke into a sinisterugh, looking crazed and unhinged. Kisa''s eyes narrowed in realization; Adrien was behind this twisted ideology that had Peter acting so deranged. She had to steady her nerves and try to talk some sense into Peter. "You''re not in a good headspace right now. Why don''t you take a breather and go back to your room to chill? We''ll go see Jolina tomorrow." ¡°Tell me where she is now." "Peter..." "Tell me, damn it!" Peter bellowed, pressing the de against Gilbert''s neck. Blood dripped from the cut, making Kisa''s hear skip a beat. Kisa''s heart raced as she screamed at Peter, "Get a grip, man! Killing us won''t make Jolina love you. She''s terrified of you. If you truly love her, you''ll back off and give her space. This craziness is only going to drive her away and ultimately destroy her. All she wants is to go home. Can''t you just let her be?" Peter clenched the dagger tightly, his hand shaking uncontrobly due to his heightened emotions. Kisa was afraid that he might hurt Gilbert, so she quickly interjected, "Jolina is hidden by me. Gilbert has no idea where she is. Let him go, and if you have any anger, direct it at me." ¡°Shut up!" Gilbert growled at her, looking directly at Peter. "I won''t tell you where Jolina is. You can either plunge that knife into my neck or let us go." ¡°You think I won''t do it?" Peter snarled through gritted teeth. Kisa was getting anxious and pleaded, "Please, Peter, don''t hurt him. I beg you, don''t..." Kisa''s pleading seemed to awaken Peter''s conscience. He stared at her without blinking, suddenly remembering the words he had heard at the door of the study. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Kisa has been looking for her brother all this time... In my heart, you are the only son I have ever acknowledged...¡± Heughed maniacally, and then backed away a few steps, staring at The pitch-ck Sky. The merciless snow had already turned their shoulders white. He gazed nkly at the falling snowkes, lost in thought. "what is family? What is love? It seems like I have everything, but I have nothing. If I left, would everyone be happy?" He stared at the night sky, his tall and thin figure exuding an indescribable sense of loneliness and destion. Kisa looked at him worriedly, about to say something tofort him, but then suddenly saw his tall figure copse to the ground. Chapter 1481 Chapter 1481 Chapter 1481 "Peter!" Kisa eximed in shock. Suddenly, Mr.Webb Sr. and Thomas came rushing out. "What in tarnation is going on here? Someonee and get help, quick!" Mr.Webb Sr. shouted frantically at the servants. Within moments, several of them ran out and carried Peter inside. Thomas looked at Kisa, seeming unsure of what to say. After a long pause, he walked over to her and Gilbert, apologizing, "I''m sorry. Peter hasn''t been in the best state of mindtely. Please forgive him. I''ll call a doctor for Mr.Kooper''s injury." "No need," Gilbert replied coolly, then took Kisa by the arm and led her inside. Thomas hesitated, as if wanting to call Kisa back, but Mr.Webb Sr. stopped him. "You''d better keep Peter''s background to yourself. I don''t want to be known as a man who can''t keep his word," Mr.Webb Sr. whispered sternly. "But Mrs.Kooper really wants to find her brother." "That''s her business, and you''d better not say a word." Back in the room, Kisa quickly fetched some alcohol and gauze to treat the wound on Gilbert''s neck. It was not deep, so she cleaned it with alcohol, applied some ointment, and stopped the bleeding. "I''m sorry for getting you hurt," Kisa said, her voice sounding muffled as she hung her head. Gilbert nced at her and sneered. "You wanted me dead, didn''t you? No need to act all sorry now." Kisa looked up at him, wanting to say something, but he suddenly stood up. "You go ahead and get some rest.I need to go out for a bit." "It''ste. Where are you going?" Kisa asked reflexively, but Gilbert did not answer.He just grabbed his coat from the couch and left. Kisa stared at the empty room, feeling uneasy. The snowy night felt endless, and she did not fall asleep until the wee hours of the morning. Then she had a nightmare, in which Gilbert was covered in blood.She struggled to wake up from the terrifying dream, feeling even more anxious. The room was brightly lit, and she could see the snow-covered yard through the gap in the curtains. There were several servants shoveling snow outside as Thomas supervised them. The snowfallst night had been really heavy. ¡®But why did Gilbert go outst night? What was he doing?¡¯ Remembering the blood from her dream, Kisa''s heart tightened. She hesitated for a moment before dialing Gilbert''s number. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavable..." Kisa furrowed her brow, her anxiety growing stronger by the second. Just then, an unfamiliar number called her.She answered it quickly, and it was Jolina''s voice on the other end. "Hey, Kisa, Mr.Kooper arranged for two guys to take me back." Kisa was surprised. "He arranged two guys for you:" "Yeah, I''m about to leave now.Don''t worry about me, and please thank Mr.Kooper for me." N?velDrama.Org owns all content. "Wait!" Kisa eximed. "Just hold on for a second. I''ming to find you." She hung up the phone and quickly changed into more appropriate clothing. As she was heading downstairs, she ran into Thomas. "How is Peter doing?" she asked. "He woke upst night and is doing better," Thomas replied. "He''s just not very talkative and has been cooped up in his room all day." Kisa pursed her lips. "Take good care of him, okay?" she said before leaving. She arrived at the small hotel where Jolina was staying, and Jolina was already waiting at the door. Jolina was wearing a thick down jacket, a hat, and a scarf that only revealed her eyes. Her eyes were bright, and Kisa recognized her at first nce. She walked quickly toward her, and then looked at the two bodyguards behind her. "Gilbert sent you guys?" Chapter 1482 Chapter 1482 Chapter 1482 One of the bodyguards respectfully replied, "Yes, Mr.Kooper instructed us in the wee hours of the morning to make sure Miss Wayne gets back to her hometown today." "In the wee hours?" Kisa furrowed her brow. "What time exactly?" "Probably around three in the morning," the bodyguard replied. Kisa''s brow furrowed even more tightly. ¡®Gilbert left the Webb residence around 1 amst night, so was he handling Jolina''s situationst night?'' she wondered. "Do you know where Mr.Kooper is now?" she asked the bodyguards. Both bodyguards shook their heads. Suddenly, Jolina grabbed Kisa''s hand and whispered, "Kisa, Mr.Kooper said I can leave without worrying about Peter bothering me anymore." "How''s that possible?" Kisa had seen Peter go crazyst night. She could not believe he could just let go so easily and wondered what Gilbert had done and where he was now. "Yes, Mrs.Kooper. Mr.Kooper said that Peter won''t bother Miss Wayne anymore, so you and Miss Wayne can rest assured," the bodyguard said. Kisa was still full of doubt. ¡®Even if Gilbert has gone to handle Jolina''s situationst night, he should have appeared by now. But he hasn''t shown up, and his phone''s off" This was the most unsettling thing for her. She was afraid Gilbert might get into trouble since this was not Calthon. "I have to go now, Kisa.You''re wee to visit my hometown next time.The scenery there is beautiful, and you''ll love it," Jolina said. Kisa smiled and nodded.She touched Jolina''s head and said, "I''ll definitelye visit your hometown if I get the chance." Then she looked at the two bodyguards and said, ''''Take good care of her." "Yes, Mrs.Kooper." Watching Jolina leave, Kisa felt a wave of sadness wash over her.It seemed like all her friends were leaving her one by one. Lea had gone, Jolina was gone, and her contact with Felicity was dwindling.She wondered when they all coulde together and have a good time again. That wish was starting to feel like a luxury she could not afford.She pulled out her phone and tried Gilbert''s number again, but it was still switched off. Gilbert hardly ever did that unless something was wrong. The memory of her dream came flooding back, making her even more anxious.She decided to call Davian instead. Davian''s tone was not friendly. "What do you want? Haven''t you caused enough trouble for Mr.Kooper?" "Where is Gilbert?" Kisa asked, her voice low. Davian chuckled. "Isn''t Mr.Kooper with you? He abandoned GK just to take you to Oceanville. He knew you were stealing GK''s confidential files and working with outsiders against GK, yet he still took you to Oceanville. GK is finished now, are you happy? You''re absolutely heartless, Kisa!" "GK is a topic for another day, Davian. Just tell me, did Gilbert contact you today?" "Why are you asking? Did something happen to Mr.Kooper? I''m telling you, if anything happens to Mr.Kooper, I won''t let you off the hook." Kisa knew from his response that Gilbert had not contacted him. She hung up feeling troubled and uneasy. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org As she turned around, she saw a familiar figure standing across the street. It was Peter. He looked much thinner than before, and his ck coat made him seem frail. The coffee shop was warm, and Peter ordered a cup of coffee for her, but Kisa switched to in water instead. He sat back in his chair, smoking and looking dejected. Kisa reminded him that smoking was not allowed there, but he ignored her. She sighed and said, "Jolina''s gone. You must have seen that." Peter did not react; he just stared out the window. A couple outside was building a snowman andughing, making Kisa envious. After a while, she asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to let her go?" "Last night, Gilbert came to see me." Chapter 1483 Chapter 1483 Chapter 1483 Kisa''s body jolted, and she instinctively sat up straight. Peter grinned and dropped his gaze. "He said he had been just as desperate as me once upon a time, but he ended up with absolutely nothing." He flicked the ash off his cigarette and looked at Kisa. "So, do you still carry a torch for him?" Kisa pursed her lips. "He is the only man I have ever loved." "Uh-huh, his predicament is totally different from mine. At least you love him. But Jolina..." Peter''s lips curved into a self-deprecating and bitter smile. "What''s the point of clinging on? I''m scared she''ll end up dead. Gilbert told me you almost died in front of him once, and that was the most terrifying moment of his life. If Jolina dies, I don''t think I''d be able to keep on living.So, I need to let go.I still want her to have a good life." Peter''s voice wasced with discontent and helplessness. Kisa felt a pang of sadness listening to Peter''s words.She tried to reassure him. "Don''t think of it that way.It''s just that your way of loving her is too extreme, and she can''t handle it. Maybe she doesn''t dislike you as much as you think." Peter chuckled wryly and looked down. "I''m well aware of what she feels for me.The man she fancies has always been someone else.A bright and wholesome dude, irreceable in her heart." This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Kisa suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then she asked, "What about Gilbert?" "After he talked me downst night, he took off from the Webb residence." "Do you know where he went?" Kisa asked frantically, her voice brimming with anxiety. Peter said, "He said he was going to help you with something." "Help me with something?" Kisa furrowed her brow. Suddenly, Peter spoke again. "I heard this morning that the Tanner residence was robbed. But it seems like nothing was stolen, the thief just got beat up. Unfortunately, they didn''t catch the guy." "The Tanner residence..." Kisa suddenly remembered something, her face darkening. ¡®That''s right. A few days ago I asked Gilbert to go to the Tanner residence''s backyard to check something out.I didn''t expect him to remember.So now he''s hurt? His phone''s turned off, and he''s gone missing.He must be trapped at the Tanner residence.I have to go save him." She stood up in a hurry, but in her haste, she knocked over the cup of water next to her. The water spilled all over the table, and some even sshed on her. Peter watched her silently, then suddenly said, Let me go to the Tanner residence for you."Kisa looked at him in surprise. "You¡ª" "You''re in such a hurry, and it''s likely that ''thief'' is Gilbert.After all, the Tanner family has a great reputation in Oceanville, so who else would dare to steal from them? Gilbert must have gone to investigate something for you." Kisa calmly said, "Don''t jump to conclusions.The person who broke into the Tanner residence can''t be Gilbert." Peter chuckled lightly. "You don''t have to be on guard with me.I won''t tell anyone about this.But for you, it''s better if you don''t go to the Tanner residence and avoid arousing suspicion." Kisa looked down. ¡®Peter''s right.If I go to the Tanner residence now, it''d be like walking into a trap.If Adrien bes suspicious of me, all my disguise and everything I''ve done to Gilbert would have been in vain.Adrien and Peter have always been close, so it''s best if Peter goes to investigate.But can I trust him?'' The cigarette burned out. Peter stubbed it out and stood up. "Actually, I''m not helping you.I also want to know what Uncle Adrien is up to.He seems to have been executing a n ever since our time in Calthon." Kisa said nothing. At this point, she had no choice but to trust Peter. Peter took a few steps outside, then turned to look at her. "Did your mother love you?" Chapter 1484 Chapter 1484 Chapter 1484 Kisa cocked her head in confusion. "Say what?" "Nothing." Peter chuckled and walked out of the coffee shop, wrapped up in his coat like a burrito. Kisa stood there like a deer in headlights.She could not do anything but wait for Peter''s message. When she got back to the Webb residence, it was snowing again. Mr.Webb Sr. and Thomas were posted up in the living room. Thomas kindly passed her a hand warmer, saying, "Mrs.Kooper, it''s freezing outside.You should stay in and chill until the weather clears up, then I''ll take you around Oceanville." Kisa smiled. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org "I went to see my friend.She''s leaving Oceanville, and I wanted to say bye.Gilbert thought it was too cold, so he told me toe back, and he will take care of it."Mr.Webb Sr. raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Did Mr.Kooper help you see your friend off? That must be why I didn''t see him this morning." "Haha, yeah, he will be back tonight." Kisa grinned. But Thomas probed, "Your friend¡­ she isn''t the woman that Peter held captive, is she?" Kisa''s smile faded, and she nodded. Thomas fretted. "What if Peter finds out? He''s stubborn as hell. If he knows that woman bounced from Oceanville, he''ll go crazy." Kisa''s tone was sharp and indignant as she spoke, "I''d rather have him go insane than drive someone to their death." Thomas pursed his lips and exined, "We let Peter act out because we saw how he was obsessed with that woman. Luckily, it didn''t cause any serious consequences." Since she was at the Webb family''s ce, and Thomas was being so nice to her, Kisa did not want to say anything else. She simply said, "I''m going to rest upstairs. We''ll be hanging around your house for a bit longer. Once Gilbert is done with his business, we''ll head back to Calthon. You are wee toe visit us there." "Haha, Mrs.Kooper, you''re too kind. Go rest upstairs." But just as Kisa had taken a few steps toward the staircase, Mr.Webb Sr. called out to her. "When did Mr.Kooper leave?" Kisa furrowed her brows slightly and turned around, her face already stered with a smile. "He leftst night at midnight. I asked him to help me take care of my friend." "Oh..." Mr.Webb Sr. chuckled meaningfully. "It seems like your friend is very important. Mr.Kooper had to personally escort her back." Kisa smiled through pursed lips. "Yeah, she''s my best friend. And with Peter being so unstable, I was afraid he might bother her again, so I had Gilbert take care of her." Mr.Webb Sr. was about to say something else when Peter suddenly returned. Thomas was startled and hurried to greet him, "You, uh¡­ when did you leave?" Peter ignored Thomas and walked straight to Kisa; his eyes bloodshot as he red at her. "I saw it. I saw Gilbert escort her out of town." Kisa quickly caught on and spoke coldly, "Even if you saw it, so what? She''s already left Oceanville and started a new life. Please don''t be so obsessed." "That''s impossible! I''m telling you, no matter where she runs off to, I''ll catch her and bring her back. You and Gilbert might be able to hide her for now, but can you hide her forever?" Thomas quickly tried to calm Peter down. "Peter,e on, there are plenty of other fish in the sea. Is it really worth it to go crazy over one woman?" He motioned for Kisa to go rest upstairs. He was afraid that Peter might lose his mind and hurt someone like he didst night. Kisa gratefully smiled at Thomas and then turned around, quickly making her way up the stairs. Chapter 1485 Chapter 1485 Chapter 1485 Mr.Webb Sr. had a glint in his eye as he turned to Peter and asked, "Did you really see Mr.Kooper escorting that woman out of town?" Peter''s eyes were bloodshot, like he was about to lose his mind. Thomas quickly pulled his father aside and said, ''''Come on, Dad, don''t push him. Peter cares about that woman too much to be mistaken." Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. "I just want to know if he saw Mr.Kooper." Mr.Webb Sr. persisted. Peter snapped back. "Gilbert could turn to ashes, and I''d still recognize him if he tried to take my woman away." Seeing his father''s skeptical look, Thomas piped up, "What is the matter, Dad? Mrs.Kooper already confirmed that Mr.Kooper escorted the woman out of town. How could Peter be wrong?" Mr.Webb Sr. nodded thoughtfully and muttered to himself, " Looks like Mr.Kooper wasn''t the one who snuck into the Tanner residencest night." Meanwhile, Kisa paced the room anxiously. When she heard a knock at the door, she rushed to answer it. It was Peter. She pulled him inside and asked, "Did you go to the Tanner residence yet?" "Not yet. I''ll goter," Peter replied calmly. Kisa nodded, but her face betrayed her worry. "You heard about what happenedst night, right? Do you think they caught the intruder?" "Don''t worry. I heard they didn''t catch him," Peter said. "That''s why my dad was questioning us earlier." Kisa looked at him, perplexed. "But how did you know that your dad suspected Gilbert was the one who broke into the Tanner residence?" Peter grinned enigmatically. "Don''t worry about it. Just trust me. I''ll take care of everything. I''ll have news about Gilbert for you by tonight." And with that, he turned and left. Kisa was in a daze as she stared at the closed door, wondering if Peter had suddenly be a different person. ¡®Did Jolina''s departure hit him harder than I thought?" Just as she was lost in thought, Adrien''s phone call suddenly came in. She took a deep breath and calmly answered the call. "Kisa, I''ve got some good news for you." Kisa perked up and asked with a smile, "What''s the good news?" "GK is going down.Mr.Kooper is no longer in charge, and chaos is erupting everywhere." "No way! That is amazing! Does this mean our revenge n is finally going toe to fruition?" Kisa asked, brimming with anticipation. "Haha, not yet. I have one more deadly blow for Gilbert. Are you ready for it, Kisa?" Kisa''s heart raced as she tried to imagine what Adrien''s surprise could be. ¡®One more deadly blow? What could possibly be more devastating than the copse of GK?'' Kisa wondered. Kisa could not help but wonder what trump card Adrien was holding in his hand. ying it cool, she asked with a smile, "I''m definitely looking forward to it.But Godfather, can you at least give me a hint? What kind of deadly blow are you nning to deliver?" "Haha, sorry, Kisa.I can''t spoil the surprise.Just wait and see.It''ll be worth it, I promise." Kisa smiled. "Okay, I''ll be waiting for it." "Oh, and don''t forget about my wedding with Carolyn in a few days. You''re invited, and I have a special surprise for you." Kisa''s excitement was quickly reced with anxiety. Adrien''s words hinted that this was not going to be a regr wedding. After hanging up the phone, she looked out the window at the peaceful snow-coveredndscape, her mind filled with worry about what might happen next. All she could hope for was that Gilbert would be safe. That night, Kisa anxiously waited for news from Gilbert. Exhausted from the wait, she fell into a restless sleep. She was jolted awake by a loud knocking at the door. Chapter 1486 Chapter 1486 Chapter 1486 Kisa jerked awake, feeling a little disoriented. But before she could even gather her thoughts, the door- knocking sounded twice more, jolting her out of her daze. She dashed to the door and found Peter there, holding up a pale and injured Gilbert. Without wasting a single second, she quickly helped Gilbert inside. Once she shut the door, she turned to Peter and demanded, ¡°Where did you find him?¡± ¡°In the basement of the Tanner residence,¡± he responded. Kisa¡¯s eyes narrowed as she realized that there was indeed something off about the basement in the Tanner residence. She led Gilbert to the couch and looked at him with genuine concern, his face as white as a sheet. ¡°Are you okay?¡± she asked with a trembling voice, her eyes already welling up with tears. Gilbert squinted at her with half-opened eyes and snickered, ¡°I¡¯m not six feet under yet, so there¡¯s no need to fake your sadness like that.¡± Kisa took a deep breath and muttered, ¡°I¡¯m not acting!¡± Gilbert smirked but said nothing. Peter nced at both of them before calmly instructing Kisa, ¡°I snuck him in through the backdoor. My dad has no idea he is here yet, so you bettere up with a solid lie to fool him.¡± With that, he turned to leave. ¡°Thank you,¡± Kisa hastily said. He paused for a moment before adding, ¡°He¡¯s in bad shape. Take good care of him.¡± And with that, he was gone. Kisa quickly pulled off Gilbert¡¯s ck coat, and the sight that met her eyes made her heart race with concern. The coat was soaked in blood, and the dark red stains had already hardened, creating a ghastly sight that brought tears to her eyes. ¡°How in the world did you get hurt like this?¡± she cried out, her voice trembling with emotion. Gilbert gave her a sarcastic look and replied, ¡°What does it matter? You don¡¯t really care, do you?¡± ¡°I care! I care a lot!¡± Kisa growled low, feeling as if her heart was being crushed in her chest. She quickly retrieved the first-aid kit and began treating his wounds. The knife wound in his abdomen was deep and had bled profusely. Because he had not received prompt treatment, his wound had begun to bulge outward and was now showing signs of infection. ¡°I¡¯m going to disinfect your wound now. It¡¯s going to hurt, so brace yourself,¡± Kisa said, her voice choked with emotion. Gilbert said nothing, but histensed-up body told her that he was in a lot of pain. She swabbed his wound with alcohol, causing him to clench his jaw tightly. Despite the pain, he remained stoic. After dressing the wound, she found a clean set of clothes for him and stowed away the blood-stained clothes under the bed. He could not help butment, ¡°Hiding those clothes under the bed won¡¯t fool the maids who clean the room.¡± ¡°Just leave them there for now. I will have Peter take care of them tomorrow,¡± Kisa replied as she handed him a cup of water. Gilbert¡¯splexion improved slightly, but he still looked weak. She asked him, ¡°Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?¡± Gilbert shook his head. He furrowed his brows and asked in a low voice, ¡°Why is Peter helping us?¡± Kisa was equally perplexed. ¡°I don¡¯t know, but he dide through for us. Without him, you¡¯d still be stuck in the Tanner residence,¡± she replied. Gilbert¡¯s brow furrowed as he pondered the situation, his eyes shing with a hint of suspicion. Meanwhile, she brushed off Peter¡¯s help as nothing more than a favor for Jolina. As Kisa sorted through the first-aid kit, she muttered, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you bother to tell me you were headed to the Tanner residence?¡± ¡®Do you have any idea how worried sick I was?¡¯ She held back from saying thetter half of her sentence, knowing it would not make a difference. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org The mere mention of the Tanner residence made Gilbert¡¯s eyes narrow in unease. Chapter 1487 Chapter 1487 Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1487 C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org He looked at Kisa. ¡°Do you know what I found at the Tanner residence?¡± Seeing his serious expression, Kisa¡¯s expression tightened.¡± What did you find?¡± ¡°As you suspected, there was indeed a person locked up in the basement, a scruffy-looking person whose face was hard to discern. That person had his tongue cut out.¡± ¡°What?¡± Kisa eximed, a chill running down her spine. ¡°Who was the person?¡± ¡°Adrien.¡± Kisa was so shocked that she could not speak for a while. After a long time, she regained her composure and asked word by word, ¡°Are you saying that the person locked up in the basement of the Tanner residence is the real Adrien?¡± Gilbert nodded. ¡°Although his tongue was cut out, his mind is still clear. He used blood to write his name on the ground.¡± ¡°If he¡¯s the real Adrien, then who is the person in Calthon pretending to be Adrien?¡± Kisa asked in disbelief. Suddenly, she remembered something and eximed excitedly, ¡°I know! If the person in Calthon is a fake Adrien, then his real identity must be David, your uncle.¡± Gilbert furrowed his brow. ¡°If he really is my uncle, then why would he conceal his identity? And his appearance¡­¡± Kisa shook her head, and she asked urgently, ¡°What else did the real Adrien tell you?¡± Gilbert squinted slightly and recounted what he had learned in the basement. So, it turned out that Adrien had a chip on his shoulder because his girlfriend¡¯s family looked down on him, and he was determined to make something of himself. Unfortunately, his desperation was exploited by a man who promised him riches in exchange for three things. First, Adrien had to go into hiding. Second, if anyone came looking for him, that person had to be sent away. And third, he could not tell anyone about his existence. Adrien thought these conditions were simple enough and agreed to them. Sure enough, within a few months, that man made the Tanner family a powerful and influential dynasty in Oceanville. But just as Adrien was about to marry his girlfriend and revel in his newfound sess, that man, in cahoots with the Tanner family¡¯s butler, had him locked up and cut out his tongue. To this day, Adrien had no idea what happened to the Tanner family or who that man really was. As Gilbert finished his story, Kisa became even more convinced that the fake Adrien was David. Vivian had mentioned that she had met David at the Tanner residence, but the person who had greeted her was Adrien. It was clear that David had nned for Vivian toe and had instructed Adrien to send her away, which was the second thing he had asked Adrien to do. Kisa looked at Gilbert and whispered, ¡°That fake Adrien must be your uncle. He locked up the real Adrien and cut off his tongue to take his ce and get close to us.¡± Gilbert furrowed his brow and remained silent. At this point, Kisa was genuinely scared of David. ¡®Why would he go to such lengths to hide his identity, n everything so carefully, and even try to turn me and Gilbert against each other? Is it all just to get revenge on Gilbert? But he¡¯s Gilbert¡¯s uncle, and he seemed to have a good rtionship with Damon back then. What is he really trying to do? What is David¡¯s ultimate n after all his plotting and nning? And what dark secrets are hidden in his wedding to Carolyn?¡¯ Kisa¡¯s mind was filled with doubts and fears. She could not shake the feeling that a terrible storm was brewing. Chapter 1488 Chapter 1488 Chapter 1488 The next morning, Kisa nced at the man lying by her bedside and whispered, ¡°Maybe you shouldn¡¯t go downstairs today. I will bring your food up quietly.¡± Gilbert shook his head. He squinted his eyes and said, ¡°Not showing up will only make people more suspicious.¡± This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. ¡°But your wound¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Gilbert replied, opening his eyes to look at her. His dark gaze was intense, and it made Kisa¡¯s heart skip a beat. ¡°W-What¡¯s wrong?¡± she asked. ¡°You¡¯ve suspected that Adrien is my uncle for a while now, haven¡¯t you?¡± Gilbert asked. Kisa did not answer. He continued. ¡°What do you want to do? What is your rtionship with him? What are you nning?¡± ¡°He has been trying to harm both of us since Kerrona Hill, and he even wanted us to kill each other,¡± Kisa said. Gilbert looked at her. ¡°So what did you hope to aplish by teaming up with him?¡± ¡°I only pretended to team up with him,¡± Kisa exined. ¡°Ever since I found out that Adrien wanted to harm us, I¡¯ve been acting as if I wanted to get revenge on you in front of him. I did it on purpose to make him reveal his true identity.¡± Gilbert did not say anything, but his demeanor remained serious and contemtive. Kisa saw that he did not believe her and added, ¡°I know you don¡¯t trust me right now, but it¡¯s okay. Once everything is over, you¡¯ll understand. And as for GK, Mia and I talked about it. We n to empty GK and give it back to you when everything is settled.¡± ¡°What about giving it to Jensen?¡± Gilbert asked, his tone neutral. Kisa shook her head. ¡°GK is yours. Even if you want to give it to Jensen, it should be your decision.¡± The woman in front of him looked sincere, but Gilbert did not know whether or not to trust her. After all, she had lied to him so many times before. ¡®But what choice do I have? Even if she¡¯s just lying to me again, what can I do about it?¡¯ he thought. He struggled to get out of bed and pushed her away when she tried to help him up. Kisa felt a pang of sadness. She was about to say something when he snapped, ¡°Do I look like someone who needs help standing? I¡¯m young and able-bodied, in case you forgot.¡± He made his way to the closet to get dressed, leaving Kisa feeling a mix of anger and amusement. At this hour, everyone in the Webb family was at home. Gilbert caught Mr. Webb Sr.¡¯s attention as soon as he walked downstairs. ¡°Well, Mr. Kooper, you are back! When did you get back?¡± Mr. Webb Sr. looked surprised and even stood up to greet him. ¡°Justst night,¡± Gilbert replied calmly. ¡°Really? I didn¡¯t see you at allst night.¡± ¡°Heh, were you keeping an eye on me?¡± Gilbert said with a meaningful look. Mr. Webb Sr.¡¯s smile froze for a moment before he quickly said, ¡°Oh no, not at all! It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t see you all day yesterday and was wondering about it. You really are like a dragon, appearing and disappearing at will.¡± ¡°I saw him, though. Around midnightst night, he snuck in through the backyard,¡± Peter suddenly appeared from upstairs and casually told Mr. Webb Sr. ¡°Through the backyard? Sneaking in?¡± Mr. Webb Sr. sounded skeptical. Gilbert said, ¡°I came backtest night and didn¡¯t want to disturb anyone¡¯s rest, so I snuck in through the backyard. Sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.¡± Mr. Webb Sr. awkwardlyughed it off, but his eyes were still fixed on Gilbert, as if he was checking to see if Gilbert was injured. Chapter 1489 Chapter 1489 Chapter 1489 As Peter walked past Gilbert, he intentionally bumped into his shoulder, but Gilbert did not even flinch. That was enough to put Mr. Webb Sr.¡¯s suspicions to rest. He scolded Peter, ¡°Hey son, watch where you¡¯re going! Mr. Kooper is a guest, apologize to him.¡± Peter sneered at Gilbert, then sat down at the dining table, looking extremely smug and defiant. Mr. Webb Sr. shook his head helplessly and apologized to Gilbert. Gilbert just shrugged it off and said, ¡°No worries. I sent his woman packing, and the fact he didn¡¯t fight me was showing his respect for me.¡± ¡°Looks like Mr. Kooper here is a real gentleman, always forgiving and forgetting.¡± Mr. Webb Sr. chuckled as he led them to the dining table. Gilbert eyed Peter with a thoughtful expression, his suspicions growing stronger by the second. When they got back to the room, he was too weak to stand and leaned heavily on the cab next to the door. Kisa urgently pulled open his shirt to check the wound, and sure enough, the bandage was soaked with blood. She helped Gilbert sit on the sofa and searched for the first-aid kit in a hurry. ¡°We should go back to Calthon tomorrow,¡± she said. Gilbert weakly smiled, ¡°Are we leaving already? Have you achieved everything you wanted?¡± Kisa focused on treating his wound and said after a long pause, ¡°I came here mainly to find David, and now that we know Adrien is David, we don¡¯t need to stay here any longer. Besides, we need to get your wound checked by Kelvin in Calthon.¡± Gilbert looked at her and asked, ¡°What about your brother? Aren¡¯t you looking for him?¡± Kisa hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said,¡± I¡¯ll ask David when I see him. If it¡¯s meant to be, I¡¯ll find him eventually.¡± Gilbert leaned back, the pain from his wound causing his brow to furrow. He stared at the woman in front of him without blinking, feeling as if she was shrouded in a mist that made it hard to see her clearly. After a long while, he asked, ¡°Now that you know ¡®Adrien¡¯ is really my uncle, what do you want to do?¡± ¡°I want to ask him what happened between him and my mother all those years ago, why he wanted to harm us. And I also want to pass on my mother¡¯s final thoughts and feelings to him,¡± Kisa said firmly. Gilbert looked at her for a long moment before nodding his head. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll go back tomorrow.¡± That evening, Kisa went to see Thomas. When she mentioned her mother¡¯s bracelet to him, his face had an odd expression, making her suspect that he might be her long- lost brother. Though she had said she would not look for him anymore, in reality, she still wanted to find her brother before leaving. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. ¡°This is what the bracelet looks like, have you seen it before? ¡± She handed Thomas a photo of her mother. Thomas nced at it, a conflicted expression shing in his eyes. After a long pause, he said, ¡°I¡¯ve seen this bracelet before. I have one too. My father said it was left behind by my mother.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart leaped with excitement, and she asked eagerly,¡± Where is the bracelet? Can I see it?¡± Thomas nodded and turned to fetch a wooden box from the cupboard. She opened it and saw a bracelet, exactly like the one her mother wore in the photo. Overwhelmed with emotion, Kisa¡¯s tears flowed freely. ¡°You really are my brother,¡± Kisa said softly as she held the bracelet carefully. She looked at Thomas with a mix of joy, sadness, and aggrievement on her face. Chapter 1490 Chapter 1490 Chapter 1490 Thomas was caught in a whirlwind of emotions. He wanted to spill the beans, but at the same time, he did not want to throw his father under the bus. However, the cat was already out of the bag, so he had no choice but to go all in. He gawked at Kisa and stuttered, ¡°Wait¡­ so, I¡¯m your brother? You sure about that?¡± Kisa nodded frantically. ¡°I¡¯m positive. Your birthmark and bracelet are a carbon copy of my mom¡¯s. You have to be my brother.¡± She choked up at the end of her sentence, tears streaming down her face. Thomas held her tight, reassuring her, ¡°Don¡¯t cry. We found each other, and that is all that matters.¡± Kisa opened up to Thomas about their mom, and he listened intently, feeling envious and longing for the same kind of love. He had been deprived of his mother¡¯s love from a tender age and had always longed for that maternal affection. They talkedte into the night, but Thomas knew Kisa needed some rest. As Kisa was about to leave, she hesitated and said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell your dad just yet. Wait a bit and then ask him about us, okay?¡± She did not know what David would do at Carolyn¡¯s wedding, and she did not want to stir up any trouble. Thomas nodded. ¡°Got it.¡± Before he could even take a breath, Mr. Webb Sr. appeared at Thomas¡¯s doorstep, his face grim. ¡°What did you tell her?¡± he demanded. Thomas did not bat an eye as he turned to walk back into his room. ¡°Nothing much. Don¡¯t worry, I didn¡¯t sell you out. She thinks I¡¯m her brother, just like you nned. That is why I have a birthmark and bracelet just like Peter, right?¡± Mr. Webb Sr. caught the intense emotions in his son¡¯s voice and quickly followed him, saying, ¡°Son, I know this is not fair to you, but our revenge on my benefactor is about to go down. Once we are done, he¡¯ll reunite with Peter, and you will be the sole heir to the Webb family. I will have only one son, you.¡± Thomas pondered for a moment before asking, ¡°What is your benefactor nning to do?¡± All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I have no clue,¡± Mr. Webb Sr. admitted. ¡°But he¡¯s the reason I¡¯m still alive today, and he is the one who gave us all this wealth. No matter what he does, I will back him up and help him out.¡± When Kisa returned to her room, Gilbert was still up, puffing on a cigarette. It was past 2 am, and the dim light made his face look hazy. Kisa strode over, snatched the cigarette, and put it out. ¡°Are you crazy? You are smoking when you are already injured?¡± Gilbert grinned at her. ¡°Sometimes, the way you care about me feels real.¡± Kisa was not in the mood to banter. She took off her coat andy down beside him. ¡°It¡¯ste. Go to sleep.¡± She closed her eyes, but suddenly, Gilbert jumped on her. She was about to push him away when she remembered his injured abdomen. She put her hands on his chest without exerting any force. Gilbert stared at her intensely, as if he had so much to say. Kisa¡¯s heart raced as she asked, ¡°What¡­ urn¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Gilbert swooped in and kissed her passionately. Kisa was taken aback but did not resist. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back passionately. Chapter 1491 Chapter 1491 Chapter 1491 It had been a moment before Gilbert finally released her, gasping for air, his eyes as ck as midnight. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Kisa regained herposure and gave him a quizzical look. ¡°What¡¯s up with you?¡± she asked. Instead of answering, he pulled her in for a tight hug, seeming oddly vulnerable. He buried his head in her neck and murmured, ¡°I just want to be with you, like really be together.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart ached with emotion. She wrapped her arms around him and spoke with conviction, ¡°We will be.¡± ¡®Just as soon as David¡¯s drama is over with. No more drama, no more issues.¡¯ The next day, as they were leaving the Webb residence, Peter was a no- show. Mr. Webb Sr. and Thomas saw them off at the airport. Mr. Webb Sr. tried to convince Gilbert to stay longer, saying, ¡°You guys came all this way. Why not stay a little longer?¡± ¡°Yeah, there is a ton of amazing sceneries and views in Oceanville I haven¡¯t shown Mrs. Kooper yet,¡± Thomas said. Gilbert gave Thomas a pointed look, then told Mr. Webb Sr., ¡¯Nah, some work stuff just came up out of nowhere. I¡¯ve got to get back ASAP.¡± ¡°Alright then. Come back and visit us soon,¡± Mr. Webb Sr. said. Kisa gazed intently at Thomas before joining Gilbert in walking toward the boarding gate. As they passed through security, Gilbert turned to her and asked, ¡°Do you really think Thomas is your brother?¡¯ She nodded. ¡°He¡¯s got the same birthmark and bracelet as my mom. It has to be him.¡± Gilbert¡¯s brow furrowed with suspicion, but he kept his doubts to himself. They hopped off the morning flight and arrived back at the Kooper residence in the afternoon. The first ones to pop out were the trio of children, with Madalyn and George shuffling out right after. Madalyn was looking a bit better and her eyes seemed to soften when she saw Kisa. She nced at Kisa¡¯s bump andmanded, ¡°Quit stalling outside. Let¡¯s go inside and grub.¡± With that, she strolled into the house with George¡¯s help. Ada and Andrew nked Gilbert while ke locked onto Kisa¡¯s hand. He beamed at her and spilled, ¡°Ma¡¯am, Andrew, Ada, and I have been gassing up Great-grandma about you, and she hasn¡¯tid into you since.¡± Kisa patted his head, appreciating the love. ¡°You¡¯re a good little guy,¡± she praised. ke¡¯s smile broadened, and he gave her hand a squeeze. ¡°Ma¡¯am, if I had a mom, it would have to be you,¡± he dered. Kisa was taken aback by his statement, but she understood he was just a kid, so she let it slide. With three extra little kids in the mix, the dinner vibe was even more festive and warm. Even George could not help but chuckle and remark that the Kooper family had not had a get-together like this in ages. Madalyn nced at the calendar on the wall and announced, ¡°Christmas ising up in a couple weeks, and this year, we are staying put and celebrating at home.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart swelled with warmth. Last year, she had spent Christmas Eve with Gilbert and the three children, but at that time, so much had still been uncertain and unresolved. That was why it was not as memorable as it could have been. This year was different, though. David and Carolyn¡¯s nuptials were only days away, and that was when the truth about David¡¯s intentions woulde out. Everything would finallye to a close, and they could finally enjoy a good year together as a family. Gilbert kept Madalyn in the dark about the crisis at GK, so he contacted Davian and slipped away to deal with it right after dinner. Kisa could not sit still at home. She goofed around with the children for a bit, then went off to Adrien¡¯s club while it was still bright outside. Chapter 1492 Chapter 1492 Chapter 1492 As Christmas drew closer, Adrien¡¯s club was buzzing more than ever. Kisa strutted straight to the VIP section. She had called Adrien beforeing, so he was waiting for her in the lobby. Besides Adrien, Carolyn and her daughter were also there, and they seemed to be practically glued to him. Everytime Kisa came around, they were all over him like white on rice. Carolyn was beaming with excitement, and Sharon was acting more snobbish than ever. As soon as she spotted Kisa, she started sniping at her. ¡¯Oh, I heard GK is about to bite the dust. You here to beg my dad for a lifeline?¡± Kisa just chuckled and shot her a nce. ¡°Did you fall and hit your head? Your daddy¡¯s behind bars.¡± All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You!¡± Sharon red at her, then wrapped her arms around Adrien¡¯s, trying to be cute. ¡°Daddy, look at her. She¡¯s so rude.¡± Adrien patted her hand and reassured her with a chuckle. ¡°Rx, honey. I will deal with herter. You and your mom go have some fun. I need to talk to Kisa about some important business.¡¯ ¡°No way. What could you possibly have to discuss with her?¡± Carolyn¡¯s eyes flickered, and she grabbed Sharon¡¯s arm. ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go. Don¡¯t interrupt your dad¡¯s business.¡± They found a quiet corner, and Carolyn whispered to Sharon, ¡°I know you hate that bimbo, but we need to focus on the big picture. Do you know why GK is about to go belly up?¡± Sharon shook her head, perplexed. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Because that tramp has been ying dirty. Whether your dad can take over GK depends on her. So just grit your teeth for now. Once your dad takes over, you can make her life a living hell.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Sharon suddenly got it, and her eyes lit up with a mischievous gleam. Kisa looked at Adrien and felt more and more convinced that he was a phony from start to finish. She did not spill the beans about his true identity, as she knew his real motives had not been revealed yet. ¡°So, did you have a good time in Oceanville?¡± Adrien asked, handing Kisa a drink. She made an excuse that she had just gotten back and was not feeling too well, so she opted for juice instead of wine. She nodded and grinned. ¡°Oceanville¡¯s got some great sights. I also stopped by to see Mrs. Tanner Sr. She is still alive and kicking, but I think she¡¯s feeling a bit lonely. After you wrap up your business here, you should go pay her a visit.¡± Adrien¡¯s smile froze for a second before he responded. ¡¯I¡¯ll go see her after Carolyn and I tie the knot.¡± When mentioning the wedding, Kisa acted surprised and said, ¡°Wow, I never thought you and Aunt Carolyn were that serious. Looks like you are really head over heels for her.¡± Adrien chuckled, but Kisa could not shake the feeling that his smile had a hint of mockery and disdain. After a beat, he said with a smirk, ¡°Your father¡¯s going to be at Carolyn and my wedding, by the way.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°He is¡­ he is not¡­¡± ¡°I took care of his little jail situation. He¡¯ll be out in a few days. He is your biological father, after all. You don¡¯t want him to spend the rest of his life behind bars, do you?¡± Adrien said. Kisa clenched her fists, forcing a smile. ¡°How thoughtful of you to consider my feelings.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just about you. I want him there to witness my big day with Carolyn. II Adrien swirled his drink and smirked. ¡°Plus, how could he miss his ex wife¡¯s wedding?¡± Kisa stared at him for a few seconds before finally saying, ¡°Looks like GK is in hot water. Gilbert went straight to thepany as soon as he got back.¡± ¡°Yup,¡± Adrien sighed. ¡°Looks like he¡¯s about to lose everything. You happy now?¡± Kisaughed. ¡°Happy? Oh, you bet I am. Been waiting for that day for a while now. It¡¯s just¡­¡± Chapter 1493 Chapter 1493 Chapter 1493 Kisa prodded, ¡°Isn¡¯t that a little too easy for him? You said you wanted to deliver a fatal blow. I want to know what it is.¡± Adrien gave her a sharp nce. He was a master maniptor, and his calcting eyes hinted at a deeper game. He chuckled. ¡°I can¡¯t spill the beans just yet. Where is the fun in that? But hey, you won¡¯t have to wait much longer.¡± Kisa felt let down. She stood by the roadside for a while, then headed over to Mia¡¯s ce. With Christmas approaching, the streets were packed with shoppers. But when she arrived at Mia¡¯s apartment, the silence and dim lighting felt almost suffocating. Mia was alone, drinking in the living room. As soon as she saw Kisa, she broke into a sly smile. ¡°Long time no see,¡± Mia drawled as she pulled Kisa onto the couch. She offered her a drink with a smirk, ¡°Come on, have a drink with me.¡± Kisa declined. ¡°No thanks. I have to driveter.¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to worry about? Just call Gilbert toe pick you up. Or I could get someone to drop you off at home,¡¯ Mia said. But Kisa still shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s cold out. Just some hot water for me.¡± Mia made a face. ¡°How boring.¡± Kisa smiled, looked upstairs and asked, ¡°Is he still out cold?¡± Mia paused her drinking andughed low. ¡°Yup, still out like a light.¡± ¡°Mia,¡± Kisa suddenly looked at her, ¡°Let¡¯s spend Christmas Eve together this year. We missed outst time, and I regretted it. And ke¡­ let¡¯s all spend Christmas Eve together.¡± Mia¡¯s grip on her ss tightened momentarily before she lowered her eyes and gave a self-deprecating laugh. ¡°No thanks. I¡¯m used to being by myself.¡± Kisa wanted to say more, but Mia sneered, ¡°I thought you were here to ask about GK, but it looks like you don¡¯t give a damn about Gilbert.¡± ¡°I trust that you and Jensen have everything under control with GK¡¯s shares and assets. I feel at ease, and I¡¯m grateful for your help this time around,¡± Kisa replied. Mia shook her head and smirked. ¡°Don¡¯t go thinking everyone is a saint. What if I don¡¯t give it back to Gilbert?¡± Kisa sighed and lowered her eyes. ¡°If that happens, then it just means I misread you.¡± Mia¡¯s smile faltered, and she said nothing more. Kisa felt like she had gained some insight but did not want to dwell on it for too long. Winter in Calthon was a brutal affair, colder even than Oceanville, and the snow had started to fall before Kisa even made it halfway home. By the time she pulled up to the Kooper residence, a thick layer of white had already nketed the ground. Kisa stepped out of her car, but the biting wind hit her like a punch to the gut. She hugged her coat tight and rushed toward the house. Despite it being only a little after 7 pm, the Kooper residence was dead quiet. When Kisa walked into the living room, she found three children huddled together, their eyes red and puffy. No adults in sight. ¡°What is wrong?¡± Kisa asked, her voiceced with concern. ¡°Great-grandma is sick,¡± Ada replied, her voice quivering. Kisa¡¯s heart sank. She was about to head upstairs when Andrew suddenly grabbed her arm. ¡°Ma¡¯am, why did you do it? Why did you hurt my dad?¡± C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Kisa¡¯s brow furrowed. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± ¡°That mean aunt came over and told Great-grandma that you and some outsiders are causing my dad¡¯spany to go under. Great-grandma got so mad she fell ill. Why did you hurt my dad, Ma¡¯am?¡± Ada cried, her voice shaking with emotion. The words hit Kisa like a sucker punch. It was the first time the children had ever looked at her with such hatred, and she felt her heart break. Chapter 1494 Chapter 1494 Chapter 1494 Adult affairs could be a real head-scratcher, and little ones just could not wrap their minds around it. Kisa did not utter a word. She just wanted to dash up and check on Madalyn. But those rug rats would not budge. In their eyes, she was public enemy number one. She gritted her teeth against the bitterness in her heart, gazing at the children as her vision started to blur. Just then, Gilbert made his way downstairs, with Kelvin tailing him. His face was still pale, but his furrowed brow spoke volumes about his frustration and exhaustion. Kisa took a deep breath and hustled over. ¡°How¡¯s your grandma doing?¡± Gilbert said not a word. Kelvin answered in a t tone, ¡°Not great, especially considering her age.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go check on her,¡± Kisa said, ready to charge upstairs, but Gilbert grabbed her arm. He red at her with cold eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t go up there and stir things up again.¡± Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat, but she kept her trap shut. Gilbert let her go and added with little emotion, ¡°You won¡¯t be staying here tonight.¡± ¡°Fine.¡± Kisa choked up, turned around, and hightailed it out. ke tried to follow her out. ¡°Ma¡¯am, I¡¯lle with you.¡± Kisa shook her head, caressed his cheek, and mustered a weak smile.¡± Stay here with Andrew and Ada. I will be back in a few days.¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am¡­¡± ¡°Be a good boy. Listen to me.¡± She looked at Andrew and Ada before making her exit. The two children could not help but tear up as they watched her go, but their anger kept them rooted in ce. Ada grabbed Gilbert¡¯s hand and wailed. ¡°Daddy, why did Ma¡¯am want to hurt you?¡± Watching that silhouette vanish into the night, Gilbert finally tore his gaze away. He looked at Ada, his expression grave, and said, ¡°Ma¡¯am didn¡¯t do anything to hurt me, sweetheart.¡± ¡°But that meandy said-¡± ¡°She was lying to you,¡± Gilbert said. Andrew quickly wiped away his tears and questioned Gilbert, ¡°Then why did you kick Ma¡¯am out?¡± All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Because your great-grandma didn¡¯t want to see her.¡± Andrew clenched his lips and fell silent. After a moment, he spoke with sadness, ¡°We messed up by ming Ma¡¯am. I want to say sorry.¡± ¡°Next time. I¡¯ll take you to apologize to Ma¡¯am.¡± Gilbert walked outside and gazed at the starry sky. Kelvin pped Gilbert¡¯s shoulder and clucked his tongue. ¡°She¡¯s the reason you¡¯re in this situation, yet you¡¯re still speaking kindly of her in front of the kids.¡± ¡°She imed she was just pretending to work with Adrien and Risen Enterprise. Once she aplishes her mission, she will return everything to me.¡± ¡°Heh, you believe that? She still thinks you are the fire-starter from years ago. She is trying to get even and leave you with zilch.¡± ¡°Zilch?¡± Gilbert scoffed. ¡°I only had GK to begin with. What is there to be afraid of?¡± Kelvin nced at him and shook his head. ¡°A guy who is trapped in love is totally hopeless.¡± As a drink flew straight at her face, Sharon stumbled to her feet, looking like a hot mess. She screamed at the woman in front of her, ¡°You¡¯ve got to be out of your damn mind! You got a death wish, huh?¡± Carolyn quickly grabbed Sharon, wiped the booze from her face, and cussed out Kisa. Adrien watched the drama unfold for a moment before casually asking,¡± What¡¯s going on here?¡± Kisa hurried over to Adrien, looking wronged and sad. ¡°I¡¯ve been buttering up Gilbert this whole time, trying to gain his trust, and now this idiot has messed everything up.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Sharon fumed, but Carolyn held her back. Adrien chuckled and turned to Kisa. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Chapter 1495 Chapter 1495 Chapter 1495 ¡°She went to the Kooper residence today and spilled her guts to Madalyn, iming that I joined forces with outsiders to drive GK into bankruptcy. Mrs. Kooper Sr. was so ticked off that she ended up copsing from the stress.¡± Adrien¡¯s face darkened as he listened to Kisa¡¯s story, but he remained silent. Kisa continued. ¡°And because of that, Gilbert went ballistic and kicked me out of the Kooper residence. Now I can¡¯t even get close to GK¡¯s secret stash if I want to. So Godfather, if you end up not making a dime off the Kooper family, don¡¯t me me. me that knucklehead.¡± Kisa pointed straight at Sharon, intentionally making sure Carolyn heard her words. Carolyn dragged Sharon to the couch, fuming. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to keep your cool? How can you be so clueless and mess everything up like this? You¡¯re driving me nuts!¡± ¡°I-I didn¡¯t know it woulde to this. I¡ª¡¯ ¡°Enough. Apologize to Kisa.¡± Carolyn interrupted her, pushing Sharon toward Kisa, who stood there, arms crossed, and watched with indifference as the mother-daughter duo approached her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Kisa. She doesn¡¯t know any better. Don¡¯t be mad at her. Just focus on getting back with Gilbert,¡± Carolyn said, pinching Sharon to make her apologize, and Sharon begrudgingly muttered an apology to Kisa. Kisa snickered. Being dumb is one thing. Being dumb and doing dumb things is another.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Sharon started to speak, but Carolyn quickly pulled her away, smiling apologetically at Kisa and Adrien. ¡°We¡¯ll leave you to it. Sorry for the interruption,¡± she said. As Carolyn and her daughter left, Adrien looked at Kisa. With a seemingly casual tone, he asked, ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr. must be quite old by now, right? Her illness isn¡¯t life-threatening, is it?¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Kisa saw a hint of concern in his eyes. ¡®Despite everything, he still cares about Mrs. Kooper Sr. and the Kooper family. But why would he want to harm Gilbert if he has a sense of family toward them? What are his true intentions?¡¯ Pushing aside her doubts, Kisa replied, ¡°Kelvin checked on her and said the situation isn¡¯t looking good. I don¡¯t know the specifics since Gilbert won¡¯t allow me to visit her.¡± Adrien looked at his drink without saying a word. Kisa¡¯s eyes turned sad as she said, ¡°Godfather, Gilbert has kicked me out. Can I stay with you for a few days until I find a suitable ce to live?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± Adrien said kindly, pulling her to sit beside him. ¡°You¡¯re like my own daughter. You can stay with me as long as you need.¡± ¡°Thank you, Godfather,¡± Kisa smiled, but her mind was racing. ¡®If I stay with Adrien under the same roof, will I be able to uncover his secrets?¡¯ she wondered. ¡°Speaking of which, after what Sharon has done, I don¡¯t think I can go back to Gilbert. So how can we get revenge on him? Even if GK really goes bankrupt, it doesn¡¯t seem like a significant blow to him.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have my own ns.¡± Adrien smiled, his narrowed eyes sparkling with a hint of cunning. Kisa felt a shiver run down her spine. Adrien¡¯s private mansion was quiet, with only two servants inside. No one else was there. Kisa was curious and asked, ¡°Doesn¡¯t Carolyn and her daughter live with you?¡± ¡°I arranged for them to stay elsewhere. We¡¯re getting married soon, and I heard it is not auspicious for couples to live together before the wedding,¡± Adrien replied. Kisa nodded and did not say anything else. Adrien¡¯s life was simple, aside from going to the club, he mostly stayed at home. Most of the time, he was just like any ordinary person, without any peculiarities. That was, until the eve of his and Carolyn¡¯s wedding. Chapter 1496 Chapter 1496 Chapter 1496 It was a quiet and chilly night at the mansion, but it did not feel like a celebration was on the horizon. The servants had already left by 8 pm, leaving Adrien alone in the massive living room. He was staring off into space with a strange grin on his face that sent shivers down Kisa¡¯s spine. Kisa put on a fake smile and walked over to him. ¡°Godfather, are you so pumped for tomorrow¡¯s wedding that you can¡¯t even sleep?¡± He turned his head mechanically, and his peculiar gaze swept over her. After a moment, he smirked meaningfully. ¡°Oh, yeah. I¡¯m so stoked I can¡¯t even close my eyes.¡± ¡°Haha, I never thought even my level-headed godfather would be losing his cool over his own wedding.¡± Adrien¡¯s lips curled up, and his eyes gleamed. ¡°Just thinking about tomorrow gets me all worked up. I¡¯ve waited for this day for so long, hehehe¡­ hehehe¡­¡± Adrien¡¯s chillingughter echoed through the room. Kisa could not help but shiver as she watched him. ¡°Kisa,¡± Adrien suddenly called out. Startled, Kisa asked, ¡°W-What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Make sure youe to my wedding tomorrow. I have a surprise for you.¡± She felt a sense of unease at the mention of a ¡®surprise¡¯. She could not help but think of all the sinister schemes surprises often brought.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. ¡°And don¡¯t forget to bring Gilbert,¡± Adrien added. Kisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡®Why do I have to bring Gilbert? Is tomorrow going to be a good day, or a bad one for me and Gilbert?¡¯ She could not tell, and she did not dare to specte. Kisa woke up early the next day, eager to attend the wedding with Adrien. But to her surprise, he had already left, leaving only two invitations on the living room table-one for her and one for Gilbert. She held the invitation for a while, wondering if she should invite Gilbert, but eventually decided against it. ¡®If this wedding is a trap, I don¡¯t want Gilbert to get caught up in it,¡¯ she thought. The wedding was held at Calthon¡¯s biggest hotel, and when Kisa arrived, she was blown away by the lavish setting. This was the grandest wedding she had ever seen, and if it was not a trap, the bride would be the happiest woman in the world. But Kisa could not shake off the feeling that something was off. The event was packed with businessmen and reporters, and Kisa realized Adrien had connections that she never knew existed. It was like the who¡¯s who of Calthon had shown up. Every high-profile figure and VIP in town was in attendance. Kisa searched high and low for Adrien, but he was nowhere to be found. Sharon was working the room, pretending to wee guests but really looking down on everyone. Kisa decided to hide away in a quiet corner and grab a bite to eat. That was when Carolyn appeared. Carolyn was decked out in a stunning white gown, looking like she was in her fifties, but her makeup made her appear much younger. She was beaming with pride, gliding around the room like she was floating on air. And then she spotted Kisa. ¡°Oh, you made it! Where is Adrien?¡± she asked. Kisa was taken aback. ¡®He isn¡¯t even at his own wedding? What is he up to? Is he trying to embarrass Carolyn?¡¯ Carolyn had already been publicly humiliated before back in Calthon, and Kisa knew Adrien was too smart to go to such lengths just to embarrass her further. She could not help but wonder what kind of conspiracy was brewing in this wedding, and what the surprise Adrien had nned was. Chapter 1497 Chapter 1497 Chapter 1497 Sharon strutted over, arms crossed, and demanded Kisa answer her mother¡¯s question. ¡°Hey, my mom is talking to you. Answer her already! You¡¯ve been kicked out by Gilbert, so now you¡¯re trying to kiss up to my mom? Give me a break. Gilbert might have loved and protected you before, but now GK is about to go belly up. He¡¯s like a stray dog, and he won¡¯t have time for you anymore. My parents are the only ones worth impressing now, so you¡¯d better answer my mom¡¯s question.¡± Carolyn sat nearby, admiring her freshly painted nails with an air of superiority. Kisa sneered at Sharon and retorted, ¡°You¡¯ve been doing all the talking, so how am I supposed to answer? If you want an answer so badly, then shut your mouth.¡± ¡°You trash!¡± Sharon cursed and raised her hand to p Kisa¡¯s face. At Carolyn and Adrien¡¯s wedding, it seemed like the mother and daughter duo were fearless and had no regard for anything or anyone. As Kisa instinctively dodged Sharon¡¯s p, arge hand suddenly grabbed Sharon¡¯s wrist and flung her across the room. As Sharon crashed into the bar, sses and cups shattered all around her, causing a deafening mor. Amidst the chaos, the media¡¯s camera shes never stopped. ¡°Who the hell¡­¡± Sharon stood up and began to curse, but when she saw the man in front of her, the words stuck in her throat. She quickly changed her tune, batting her eyshes and said in a flirtatious tone, ¡°Oh, it is just Gilbert. I didn¡¯t realize you were here.¡± Kisa watched in surprise as Gilbert arrived. ¡®Who invited him here? Adrien?¡¯ she wondered. Gilbert did not even look at Kisa. He casually put his hands in his pockets and said, ¡°I think I just heard someone say I¡¯m a dog from a bankrupt family. II Sharon quickly shook her head. ¡°No, no one would ever say that about you, Gilbert. In my heart, you¡¯re always the coolest guy around.¡± C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Gilbert sneered and looked at her like she was a joke. Carolyn was not happy with Gilbert¡¯sment and snorted, ¡°If he¡¯s a dog from a bankrupt family, he¡¯s a dog from a bankrupt family. No one can change that.¡± Gilbert shrugged. ¡°You are right. I can¡¯tpare to you now, Mrs. Case. Look at this wedding; it¡¯s the grandest event ever held at Calthon. You look so pleased with yourself that I almost forgot how you used to suck up to me, Mrs. Case.¡± Gilbert repeatedly addressed her as Mrs. Case, making Carolyn¡¯s face turn green with anger. Gilbert did not want to waste any more time with her, so he grabbed Kisa and walked away. They found themselves a quiet corridor where he pressed Kisa against the wall but did not say a word. Kisa looked at him and whispered, ¡°How is your injury? Is it better?¡± He did not answer her and just locked his eyes on her. She felt like her question was pointless. ¡®Hisplexion is much better than the other day, but the tiredness and impatience between his eyebrows are more apparent. Is it because of Madalyn¡¯s condition?¡¯ She gritted her teeth and asked even more softly, ¡°Is your grandma doing okay?¡± ¡°What makes you think you have the right to ask?¡± He shot back. She lowered her eyes and stopped talking. Once upon a time, her feelings for this man were a mixture of love and hate, but now she felt only guilt. ¡°You told me before that you pretended to cooperate with Adrien to get to the bottom of his true intentions,¡± Gilbert said. Kisa nodded and looked up at him. ¡°Do you believe me?¡± Gilbert did not answer her question and only asked, ¡°When will your n end? When will we finally be able to put all the resentment and calction aside and be a real couple?¡± Kisa pursed her lips and was about to answer when suddenly, there was a hugemotioning from the banquet hall. Chapter 1498 Chapter 1498 Chapter 1498 People were screaming, hollering, and cussing up a storm. Kisa furrowed her brow in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Gilbert¡¯s eyes darkened. He let go of Kisa and stormed off toward the banquet hall. She hurriedly trailed behind, trying to reach Adrien on her phone, but he was not picking up. When they arrived at the banquet hall, Kisa nced up at the wall and her stomach churned. There was a huge electronic screen hanging on the wall. It had been showing Carolyn¡¯s gorgeous artistic and wedding photos, but now it disyed her getting down and dirty with different guys. The video was shot using infrared cameras, and despite the darkness of the room, the scenes and characters were clear as day. The men were all scruffy, grotesque, and downright nasty. Suddenly, Kisa remembered all the sketchy beggars that had beening and going from Adrien¡¯s club recently. ¡®Could it be¡­¡¯ The thought made her shudder in revulsion. ¡®What kind of vendetta does Adrien have against Carolyn? How could he sink so low as to degrade her like this?¡¯ shes of light lit up the screen as people hollered, jeered, and spewed insults. They called Carolyn every name in the book, using her of being shameless and low-down. Carolyn lost it, screaming that it was all a setup and that she was innocent. She even stood in front of the screen, trying to block the view, but it was no use. She looked like a crazy person, with her makeup smeared and people hurling food and drinks at her. The situation was spiraling out of control when suddenly the scene changed. The focus shifted from Carolyn to Sharon, or more specifically, Sharon six years ago when she was sitting disheveled on top of a man with a flirtatious smile on her face. Kisa squinted her eyes subconsciously and then suddenly recognized the man as the former warden. ¡®Could it be that Sharon used her body to seduce the warden and plotted the fire six years ago?¡¯ Sharon¡¯s voice, filled with malice, came from the screen. ¡°I¡¯ve been taking care of you fromst night until today. Aren¡¯t you going to prepare for me to watch the fire today? Don¡¯t worry, I only want Kisa¡¯s life. Oh, and of course, I want the baby in her belly too. That way, I will have a chance to be the lady of the Kooper family.¡± Sharon¡¯s voice on the screen was no different from her current voice. The scene caused an uproar of shock, condemnation, and disbelief. Then, the scene changed again, and Carolyn appeared on the screen. She was instructing two prison guards, ¡°You guys wait outside of Kisa¡¯s cell and subtly suggest that Gilbert started the fire. When she¡¯s close to death, cut the baby out of her. Remember, I want the baby alive.¡± The truth behind the fire six years ago was now crystal clear. Kisa looked toward Gilbert, who was staring intently at the screen. His hand was clenched so tightly that it had turned blue. Kisa reached out and grabbed his hand, feeling him shake. She bit her lip and squeezed his hand even harder, as if she never wanted to let go. She had wrongly used him back then. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. As the ugly truth continued to unfold, Carolyn and Sharon were berated and cursed by everyone in the room. Soon, they were soaked in drinks and food, looking like they had just taken a dip in the garbage dump. Someone had called the police, and Carolyn and her daughter were quickly taken into custody. Kisa stared at the screen, lost in thought. ¡®Could this be the surprise Adrien had in store for me?¡¯ Chapter 1499 Chapter 1499 Chapter 1499 ¡®There¡¯s no way things could be so simple, or else why would he invite Gilbert here in the first ce?¡¯ Kisa thought to herself. While everyone¡¯s focus was on Carolyn and Sharon, the huge electronic screen lit up again, revealing a new set of characters. There was this fifty something-year-olddy and a bodyguard-looking guy. Judging by the video quality and their clothing, it was an old video. Kisa furrowed her brow as she stared at the woman, feeling like she had seen her somewhere before. She then looked up at Gilbert and whispered,¡± Is that your grandma?¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. But Gilbert did not utter a word. His eyes were glued to the screen, his body taut with tension. Meanwhile, everyone else was also staring at the screen with curiosity, gossiping away like a bunch of chatty Karens. The older guests quickly identified the woman as Madalyn from back in the day, and their chatter only grew louder. The characters in the video were heard talking: ¡°Madam, isn¡¯t this harming David a bit too much?¡± ¡°Hell no! I¡¯m just using this as an excuse to get him out of here before he gets into some sh*t with Damonter.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Maybe we should juste clean with David. I mean, framing him for trying to steal the Kooper family¡¯s assets in his name aren¡¯t cool. What if he finds out the truth? He still sees you as his mother, after all. II ¡°Look, that little punk is crafty. Who knows what he¡¯s plotting? Sure, he hasn¡¯t done anything to screw over Damon yet, but he¡¯s still working solo behind our backs and trying to schmooze up to the As the conversation on the screen echoed through the hall, the chatter in the room grew louder and louder. ¡°Holy sh*t, so David wasn¡¯t kicked out for doing some shady sh*t after all? Mrs. Kooper Sr. just couldn¡¯t handle him, huh?¡± ¡°Man, people are selfish as f*ck. Who would have thought that Mrs. Kooper Sr. would throw David under the bus for her own damn son?¡± The truth about David getting the boot from Calthon was finallying to light, and Madalyn¡¯s heartlessness was being called out by everyone. But then the old video ended, and suddenly, the whole banquet hall erupted inughter. The sound was coming from the speakers in every corner of the room, and it was so loud and shrill that it sent shivers down everyone¡¯s spines. All of a sudden, the room went quiet, and everyone¡¯s eyes darted around in shock as they tried to figure out where the sound wasing from. Theughter was maniacal, joyful, crazy, and even a bit sad. For Kisa, theughter was both strange and familiar. Adrien had cackled just like that the night before, except his voice sounded a bit different. ¡°Hehehe¡­ it is almost over. Everything is almost over. Those who disrespected me, mistreated me, and took away the people I loved, they are all going to pay for it. Hahaha¡­ hahaha!¡± The maniacalughter echoed through the banquet hall, sending shivers down everyone¡¯s spines. Some of the weak female guests even huddled together in terror. Out of nowhere, Carolyn went batsh*t crazy and started hopping around. ¡°It¡¯s David! It¡¯s David! He isn¡¯t dead! He¡¯s still kicking! He¡¯s the one who is trying to get back at me. It¡¯s all his twisted n. He ruined me. It¡¯s all his damn fault!¡± Carolyn screamed, pushing through the crowd and making her way to Kisa. ¡°Where the hell is Adrien? You¡­ you call him. Someone is trying to hurt me. You call him and tell him to protect me! He loves me more than anyone else. You have to call him now!¡± Kisa just looked at her with sadness in her eyes. ¡®She still hasn¡¯t figured out that Adrien is the mastermind behind all this? She still hasn¡¯t realized that Adrien is David?¡¯ Chapter 1500 Chapter 1500 Chapter 1500 Suddenly, Sharon charged at Kisa with a look of pure hatred and screamed, ¡°You filthy b*tch! You and Adrien nned all of this, didn¡¯t you? You wanted to watch me and my mother suffer, you sick twisted wh*re!¡± With a crazed expression on her face, Sharon picked up a broken wine ss and lunged at Kisa, intent on causing her harm. It looked as if she had lost all control of herself, consumed by her rage and bitterness. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Just as the jagged ss was about to impale Kisa, Carolyn appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Sharon, struggling to keep her at bay. ¡°What? Are you serious? You¡¯re saying that Adrien was behind all of this?¡± Carolyn was absolutely bbergasted, her voice trembling as she struggled to get the words out. Sharon could not believe her eyes as she watched her mother¡¯s sheer innocence on disy, leaving her to stare at her like she had lost her mind. ¡°Please wake up and be alert. If it wasn¡¯t his doing, why didn¡¯t he show up when things went horribly wrong? If he didn¡¯t n this beforehand, then how could there be a video of you and those filthy men at the wedding? That magnificent wedding he promised you was nothing but a scheme. He wanted to smash us when we were at our happiest. Think about it, he¡¯s rich and charming, why would he settle for someone like you? He seduced you just to take revenge on you and my dad. First, he ruined my dad and the Case family, and now he is trying to ruin you and me. Don¡¯t you see it? He is David. He conspired with Kisa to take us down. It is all revenge!¡± ¡°Ah! Please don¡¯t say that! I don¡¯t believe it, I don¡¯t believe it!¡± Carolyn suddenly clutched her ears and let out a piercing scream. ¡°Adrien would never do something like this to me. He loves me, he told me he does!¡± Kisa watched Carolyn in stunned silence. In that moment, Carolyn hadpletely unraveled. Her veily forgotten on the ground, her hair a tangled mess, and her makeup smeared in all directions. She looked like a haunting apparition, wailing and cackling hysterically. Kisa could not help but wonder if Carolyn had already suspected Adrien¡¯s involvement in all of this but had been unwilling to ept the truth. Carolyn and her daughter were once again apprehended by the police, both of them tied to the tragic fire from years ago. If they were locked up this time, there might not be any hope of ever seeing the light of day again. As the police led them away, Carolyn and her daughter caught a glimpse of Christopher in the crowd. Sheughed hysterically, the sound of herughter sending shivers down Kisa¡¯s spine. Sharon screamed out to Christopher, ¡°Dad, save me, please save me!¡± Christopher looked on emotionlessly, like he was staring at strangers. As they passed Kisa and Gilbert, Carolynughed menacingly and sneered,¡± You think this is over? Have you not seen the video? Adrien¡¯s biggest enemy is actually that olddy from the Kooper family. It is her turn next. Hahaha¡­ no one can escape. No one can run!¡± Gilbert¡¯s face twisted in fear and the echoes of Carolyn¡¯s cruelughter lingered in the banquet hall, the sound of herughter intertwined with her harsh words. ¡°No one can escape. No one can run¡­¡± Panic shot through Gilbert¡¯s heart as he realized the severity of the situation. He whispered under his breath, ¡°This isn¡¯t good,¡± before bolting toward the exit. Kisa followed closely behind, their ears ringing with the sound of Carolyn¡¯s maniacalughter. ¡°We are all going to hell, and you won¡¯t get off easy either! Hahaha¡­ hahaha¡­¡± As Gilbert got into his car, Kisa hurried over to him and said, ¡°Are you worried about your grandma? I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Gilbert nced at her and nodded. Chapter 1501 Chapter 1501 Chapter 1501 Gilbert was driving at breakneck speed. Kisa tried to soothe him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. David may hate your grandmother, but he wouldn¡¯t dare do anything to her. And he still has some feelings for her, right?¡± After a long silence, he spoke up. ¡°I never knew that David was kicked out of Calthon like that.¡± Kisa was at a loss for words. After a brief moment of silence, Gilbert asked again, ¡°Is this all a part of David¡¯s n? Does he want to get back at everyone he hates?¡± She stared out the window, deep in thought. She had a nagging feeling that things were far from simple. David had mentioned a fatal blow to Gilbert, but she could not figure out what it could be. ¡®Is it Madalyn? If David wants to hurt Gilbert, he¡¯ll go for what is most important to him. If this fatal blow means Madalyn, she¡¯s in serious trouble.¡¯ But judging by David¡¯s heart-wrenchingughter, she felt that he did not really want Madalyn¡¯s life. He wanted justice. Just then, the phone rang. It was George. His panicked voice came through the phone, ¡°Something¡¯s wrong, Mr. Kooper. A group of people came to the house and said that GK has gone bankrupt, and they have mortgaged the house. Is it true, Mr. Kooper?¡± Gilbert¡¯s grip on the steering wheel tightened, his heart pounding in his chest. ¡°Where is Grandma?¡± ¡°Oh no, oh no!¡± a servant cried out. ¡°Mrs. Kooper Sr is missing!¡± ¡°What? How could Mrs. Kooper Sr. possibly be missing? Find her now. Search every nook and cranny!¡± There were noises on the other end of the phone. Gilbert gripped the phone tightly, his heart pounding with anxiety. Kisa reached out tofort him, but he pushed her away. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± He did not look at her, his voice filled with a raw, seething anger. The car raced toward the Kooper family mansion. As they approached, they found the gate guarded by several strange men, blocking their way. Gilbert and Kisa were forced to exit the car and walk through the yard, where they found arge group of people gathered, mostly the Kooper family¡¯s servants. Even Davian was among them. But before they could take another step, a man stepped out in front of them. Kisa recognized him immediately: it was Shaun, Jensen¡¯s former secretary. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. ¡°This mansion belongs to Mr. Tanner now,¡± Shaun sneered. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Kisa demanded, her forehead furrowing in confusion. Shaun scoffed. ¡°Don¡¯t y dumb. You and Adrien plotted together to take down Gilbert. Those confidential files you stole from GK ruined thepany, and now he has lost everything. You really are quite clever, I have to admit.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t steal any files,¡± Kisa retorted, her eyes zing. ¡°Adrien and I were pretending to work together. I never gave him those files.¡± Shaun chuckled. ¡°You are still pretending? Gilbert has nothing left now. Your revenge n worked. What is the point of pretending anymore? Are you addicted to ying this role? I tell you what-all of GK¡¯s shares are now in Mr. Tanner¡¯s hands. GK belongs to him.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± Kisa bellowed. Shaunughed, mocking her as if she were a fool. Gilbert barely even looked at her as he strode over to George. ¡°Where¡¯s Grandma?¡± he demanded. George¡¯s eyes filled with tears as he spoke. ¡°We still haven¡¯t found her. Just before those men barged in, she said she wanted some dessert. I sent a servant to get it for her, and then they came. We fought them off as best we could, but when I called you, we realized your grandma was gone.¡± ¡°W-What are you doing?¡± Chapter 1502 Chapter 1502 Chapter 1502 As soon as George¡¯s voice trailed off, Gilbert¡¯s handstched onto Shaun¡¯s cor, and he pulled him close. With bloodthirsty eyes and a menacing tone, Gilbert growled, ¡°You guys¡­ did you hide my grandma?¡± Shaun fought to free himself from Gilbert¡¯s grip, looking totally clueless.¡± What the hell are you talking about, man? Why would we hide some olddy?¡± But Gilbert was not buying it and was about to punch him in the face. Shaun screamed, ¡°You better not touch me, man! You¡¯re not a CEO anymore. If you hit me, I¡¯m calling the cops!¡± Ignoring Shaun¡¯s warning, Gilbert threw a punch toward his face. Kisa reacted quickly and grabbed Gilbert¡¯s arm. This was not like the old days when he held all the power. Kisa knew that if he started a fight now, things would only get worse. ¡°Gilbert, you need to calm down. Let¡¯s go look for your grandma first,¡± Kisa said, Gilbert flung Kisa¡¯s arm away from him in disgust. ¡°Get the hell off me!¡± he yelled. ¡°It¡¯s your fault my grandma is missing. If anything happens to her, I will make sure you pay for it.¡± Kisa felt her heart sink as she watched Gilbert¡¯s eyes burn with anger. She thought she could uncover Adrien¡¯s true identity without hurting anyone by pretending to work with him, but she was wrong. Her naivety destroyed GK, and now she had left Gilbert with nothing. She had no words to say to him, no exnation that could ease his pain. Gilbert¡¯s grip tightened as he repeated his question, ¡°I¡¯ll ask you one more time. Did you guys kidnap my grandma?¡± Shaun was struggling to breathe, and his face was turning red. He shouted, ¡°I already told you, man. We didn¡¯t take your grandma. We¡¯re just here to collect the house. She¡¯s probably out somewhere.¡± Davian looked at Shaun and then walked over to Gilbert. He pulled Gilbert aside and whispered, ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯s lying. Mrs. Kooper Sr. was already missing when they got here.¡± Gilbert¡¯s eyes narrowed as he threw Shaun to the ground. ¡°Tell Adrien that I will take the fall for my grandma¡¯s past mistakes. But he better not touch her.¡± Shaun got up, brushing off the dust. He sneered, ¡°I will make sure he gets the message. But this house belongs to Mr. Tanner now. You and your people need to leave, or I will call the cops on you for breaking into this house.¡± Gilbert did not budge, but eventually, Davian managed to pull him out of the house. ¡°Adrien yed us all for fools. He used Risen Enterprise to distract us while he took over GK. GK is done for; Adrien managed to take it overpletely. I never thought Adrien and Risen Enterprise were in cahoots. And your wife¡­ she is a real piece of work. She¡­¡± He trailed off, not wanting to voice his true feelings about her. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org ¡°What about the children?¡± Gilbert asked, his expression grim. Davian replied quickly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Kooper. I have taken them to my ce. Felicity is looking after them.¡± Gilbert felt a slight sense of relief, but the thought of his grandmother still made him angry. ¡®David hates Grandma so much. If he gets his hands on her, I don¡¯t even want to think about what he will do.¡¯ ¡°Did you check the whole yard?¡± he asked as George came outside. George nodded. ¡°We searched everywhere. Mrs. Kooper Sr. must have left on her own.¡± Kisa wanted to say something to Gilbert, but the hatred in his eyes made her feel uneasy. Suddenly, a phone started ringing. Chapter 1503 Chapter 1503 Chapter 1503 Gilbert''s eyes narrowed as he looked at the unfamiliar number shing on his phone. He answered the call and heard a woman''s voice, which sounded vaguely familiar. "Hey, Gilbert.Your grandma is with me, and she''s safe.Can youe see me alone?" The woman hung up the phone after speaking and immediately sent an address to Gilbert. Gilbert quickly checked the address and headed toward his car. Kisa''s heart was heavy with worry, and she was about to follow Gilbert.But he turned around suddenly and gave her a cold, hard stare. "Don''t follow me!" he barked. And with that, the car sped away, leaving her standing there feeling devastated and alone. Meanwhile, Shaun was feeling smug as he leaned against the gate of the mansion. "Listen, if you guys beg me or Mr.Tanner nicely, maybe Mr.Tanner will let you stay here," he said with a sneer. But George was not having it. ''''We only follow Mrs.Kooper Sr. and Mr.Kooper, and now that they are gone, we have no reason to stay, " he retorted angrily. Shaun just scoffed. "Fine, kick them all out, but make sure Mr.Tanner doesn''t see it. We don''t want to ruin his mood," he said with a wicked grin. As the year drew to a close, the weather turned colder, and the snow began to fall heavily. George and some of the loyal servants huddled together on the side of the road, feeling lost and hopeless. Kisa''s heart sank as she turned to George and said, ''''Let me arrange a ce for you to stay, okay?" But George ignored her. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Kisa pursed her lips and added, "I know you are also angry with me.Actually, I can''t forgive myself either.I''m not trying to get your forgiveness by arranging a ce for you to stay.It is just that Mr.Kooper Sr.still needs your care, and when Gilbert finds her, you can go to her side and take care of her.How about that?" George slowly turned his head to look at her.His wrinkled face was full ofplexity, iprehension, and pain. "I always thought everyone would harm Mr.Kooper, but only you wouldn''t.It seems I was wrong." Kisa suddenly choked up, and tears welled up in her eyes. She covered her mouth and sobbed, even exining seemed futile. Davian rushed over and pushed Kisa away. "You don''t have to worry about where they are going.You are just here to cause trouble.Get out of here!" Kisa stumbled back two steps. She took a deep breath and said, "Davian, I really didn''t mean to harm him." "But you did harm him," Davian said, changing his yful demeanor. At this moment, he had a few more traces of calm and sternness on his face. "Do you know that Mr.Kooper has known that you were stealing GK''s confidential files all along? Those files were even deliberately ced in front of you by him.He thought you wanted GK, so he willingly gave it to you.Who do you think he is? He is Gilbert Kooper, the one who dominates the business world.When facing the crisis of thepany, with his ability and Means, would he really not know how to resolve it? He didn''t want to resolve these crises, everything he did was at your behest.He treated you so well, but how did you treat him? You took GK, and even the Kooper residence you refused to let go.How cruel can you be? You will only stop when you saw them homeless on the streets? " "No, no..." Kisa shook her head frantically, unable to hold back her sobs. "The truth about the fire back then has now been made clear.It had nothing to do with Mr.Kooper at all.In the end, Mr.Kooper didn''t owe you anything.If I were Mr.Kooper, I would never forgive you for the rest of my life." Davian finished and left with George and the other servants, leaving Kisa alone in the flying snow. Chapter 1504 Chapter 1504 Chapter 1504 Kisa slowly squatted down, with Davian''sst words ringing in her ears. "If I were Mr.Kooper, I would never forgive you for the rest of my life." ¡®Of course, after what happened, Gilbert would never forgive me," she said in her mind. Footsteps approached her from behind, and she mechanically turned her head. Mia stood in front of her, still as stunningly beautiful as ever, but with no trace of the seductive smile from before. Time had changed everyone, but in the end, Kisa still could not understand her. She did not even know why Mia had betrayed her. A faint pain throbbed in her belly, and she struggled to stand up, leaning on her knees. She looked at Mia calmly, without a word. Mia smiled, apologetic and indifferent at the same time, with a hint of inexplicable emotion. "You must hate me now, don''t you?" she said. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Kisa shook her head.She did not hate Mia; she was just disappointed. ¡®I thought friends could confide in each other, but apparently not.Lea could betray me for love, and Mia could stab me in the back for her own gain.Am I overestimating myself?'' she thought to herself. She did not say anything to Mia, nor did she want to investigate the reasons behind her betrayal. ¡®Davian''s right, once the damage is done, there''s no point in offering excuses," she thought again. Exhausted, she turned around and walked aimlessly in the snow. Mia watched her slender figure disappear into the distance, her eyes blurred with tears.She looked up, smiled, and turned to the man lurking in the corner. "Are you happy now?" The man leaned against the wall, his head slightly lowered, his fingertips flickering with a faint spark. He smirked, a hint of self- mockery in his expression. ¡®Happy? I''m not even sure if I''m happy or not with the oue." Kisa jolted awake, finding herself in an unfamiliar mansion. She sat up in a panic, looking around bewilderedly. "You are awake?" A voice came from the window, both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar. Kisa turned toward the sound and saw Adrien. His voice had changed; this was actually his real voice, David''s voice. She looked at him for a moment and then cracked a smile. "Uncle David." Adrien was startled for a moment, chuckling softly. "It seems you already know my true identity." Kisa sneered. "After the huge drama at the wedding yesterday, it was hard not to guess who you really were." David stood up and walked over to her.He looked at the woman on the bed, his eyes distant yet complex, as if he was looking at another person through her. After a long while, he chuckled softly. "You look so much like your mother." Kisa thought he was reminiscing about her mother, but in the next moment, his expression suddenly turned ferocious. "Every time I see your face, I can''t help but think of that b*tch!" "Shut up! Don''t you dare talk about my mother like that!" Kisa growled, feeling a sense of despair and sorrow for her mother. '' When my mother passed away, she always thought of him.But what about him? In his heart, my mother was just a b*tch? How could he? How could he speak of her like that?" she kept asking in her mind. "For so many years, I have been reminding myself to get revenge on all of you.Heh! Your mother died early, so you will have to atone for her sins." "What sins did my mothermit? If anyone is at fault, it is you who betrayed her." "I betrayed her?" David sneered. "Did she tell you that?" "Don''t make my mother out to be so despicable.She never said anything about you." David lowered his gaze, his tone suddenly softening. Chapter 1505 Chapter 1505 Chapter 1505 David asked, "Did she ever mention me when she was alive?" Kisa stared at him, sensing a desperate hopefulness in his eyes.She clenched her jaw and replied, ''''My mother only mentioned your name on her deathbed." David''s body trembled slightly, his eyes lighting up with a glimmer of hope. "What about other times? Did she ever talk about me?" Kisa kept her eyes lowered, refusing to answer.She knew her mother had never mentioned him, except for that one fleeting moment. But she also knew her mother''s heart had always belonged to David, as evidenced by the diary she had found. Just as Kisa was about to mention the diary, David''s expression suddenly turned cold and menacing. "Of course not, she was married to someone else.How could she possibly think of me? But she was so blind to pick that pathetic loser Christopher." David''s words dripped with bitterness and resentment, as if her mother had willfully chosen Christopher over him. If it were not for her reading her mother''s dairy, she might have misunderstood her. Frustrated and angry, Kisa snapped, "Do you really not know why my mother married Christopher back then?" David''s eyes narrowed as he remembered a particrly bitter and anguishing moment, his hand clenched tightly at his side. After a long pause, he slowly said, "Although it was Carolyn who tricked her into it, she was happy when she married Christopher.She was even pregnant with you within two years of their marriage.If she didn''t like Christopher, why would she have a child with him? She said that she only had children with the person she loved, and that is what she told me.But now, it is clear that everything she said was a lie, a damn lie!" This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. The more David spoke, the more agitated he became, and a hint of ruthlessness even appeared in his eyes. He approached Kisa, teeth grinding as he spoke through gritted teeth, "Do you know that you are a b*stard who should never have been born? Every time I see you, I have the urge to kill you.But because you look so much like her, and she is no longer here, I have to keep you alive so you can suffer my revenge." David''s face twisted into a grotesque expression, and Kisa could not help but back away. In a low voice, she said, "You misunderstood my mother.She only ever loved you." "Hahaha," Davidughed, as if he had heard the world''s funniest joke. "Your mother never mentioned me in front of you.How do you know she loved me? You''re so afraid of me killing you that you can''t even tell a decent lie." "It''s true.My mother left behind a notebook that recorded every detail of your rtionship.When she was at her most helpless and in pain, she only thought of you.She hoped you could take her away and save her, but you never showed up, not even when she was dying." David''s resentment was palpable, and Kisa could not help but feel angry as well. ¡®He mes my mother, but who else could my mom me?! Thinking of her mother''s helplessness in every word of her diary, Kisa was overwhelmed with sadness. She choked back tears and asked David, "Where were you when my mom was in trouble? You were still alive then.Why didn''t you take her away?" Remembering that day, David risked everything to find her but found her at the mall with Christopher. She had be a different person, leaning against Christopher''s chest, selecting expensive jewelry with a condescending and picky expression. In that moment, he realized he never really understood her. From that day forward, he vowed to seek revenge. As he thought back to those times, David''s eyes became increasingly menacing, increasingly ruthless. Chapter 1506 Chapter 1506 Chapter 1506 "You don''t need to say a damn thing," he flicked his lighter and smirked. "I found you passed out on the street and brought you back.Even had a doctor check you out." Kisa''s heart pounded at his words, and she instinctively clutched her stomach. David gave her a cold nce and snickered. "No wonder you never had the balls to take on Gilbert.You''ve been carrying his seed all this time." "You knew I was never serious about working with you?" Kisa asked. David chuckled. "Your acting skills were top-notch.I was fooled until Mia handed me those ssified files.But no worries. Everything is under my control now." This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "What else do you want from me?" Kisa asked, her voice icy. "You have already gone after Christopher, Carolyn, and taken everything, from the Kooper residence to GK. What more could you possibly want?" David sneered. "That is not even close to enough.Compared to the pain I have suffered, those things are mere child''s y." As he gazed upon Kisa''s enraged face, David let out a sinister chuckle. "To be honest, you should be grateful to me.If it weren''t for me, you would never know the truth about the prison fire that happened years ago." "Thank you? You are the one who meddled in everything, causing all those misunderstandings between me and Gilbert," Kisa spat."He''s your own nephew, and he never did anything to deserve your revenge.What the hell do you want from him?" "He doesn''t owe me a damn thing, but the problem is he is a Kooper family descendant.It pisses me off how life is so damn unfair.We share the samest name, but why the hell do Damon and his son get to have it all?" David''s eyes burned red with anger, and his face twisted with resentment. "I knew from a young age that I could never have anything that belonged to the Kooper family, so I never even tried.I even sucked up to Damon, thinking that if I did, the olddy would treat me like her own son and ept me as part of the Kooper family.But no, she never did.Even your mother, in the beginning, preferred Damon.Why the hell could I never measure up, no matter how hard I tried? Can you exin that to me?" Kisa watched David cautiously, fearful that he mightsh out at any moment. Thankfully, he kept his cool and did not harm her.She pressed her lips together and said, "I heard that Mrs.Kooper Sr.wanted to set you up with my mother back then." "Hal" David snorted. "Do you know why she wanted to set me up with your mother?" Kisa stared at him but did not say anything. Davidughed bitterly. "Because Damon didn''t like your mother, and the olddy was afraid that she would cling to him, so she thought setting me up with your mother would be a good idea.If Damon had any interest in your mother, do you really think I would stand a chance? Everything I have is just what Damon''s leftovers." "How is that even possible?" Kisa could not believe it. But her mother''s diary did record her feelings for Damon.She wondered if what David said was true. David shook his head, and his voice was filled with sorrow. "I thought this kind of bullsh*t only happened to me, but it seems like it''s happened to my son as well." "Are you talking about Jensen?" Kisa''s heart raced with fear. "Do you know how you survived the fire all those years ago?" David asked, and Kisa had a bad feeling about where this conversation was headed.She tightly gripped the bedding, not saying a word. David blew a smoke ring and said slowly, "It was Jensen who risked his life to save you." Chapter 1507 Chapter 1507 Chapter 1507 ¡®Just as I thought..." Kisa''s heart was a tangled mess as she cast her eyes downward. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. David sneered. "You know Gilbert''s been hurting you all along, right? Meanwhile, my son risked his life to save you, but you still chose Gilbert.And then there is the old bat.Just because Gilbert likes you, she crushed my son''s dreams and kicked him out of the country.Even now, that old bat is still selfish as hell." Suddenly, David bent down and red at her. "If you had to choose again, who would you pick?" Without a moment''s hesitation, Kisa looked up and replied, "Gilbert.I would still choose Gilbert." David stood up straight,ughing bitterly. "Damn, you are heartless, just like your mom." "Favor and feelings are two different things.Jensen saved my life, and I would do the same for him.But emotions can''t be forced." "Right, you can''t force it.She only stayed with me because she felt obligated.That was why she was able to move on so easily with Christopher.But she always loved Damon the most.No one else mattered to her, just Damon." "That''s not true..." "Enough!" David cut her off, his voice turning icy. "All I want to know is where Mrs.Kooper Sr.is.Tell me, and I won''t hurt you." Kisa scowled, wondering why Madalyn was not with David and who else would have taken her. Seeing Kisa''s silence, David sneered. "Fine, if you won''t talk, I''ll just tell Gilbert where you are.He can decide whether or not to trade his grandma for you and your baby." Kisa scoffed. There was no way Gilbert would use his own grandmother as a pawn in this twisted game.She did not even need to think about that one. As David left, Kisa caught sight of the bodyguards stationed at the door. She sprang to her feet and made her way to the window, casting her gaze over the unfamiliar mansion''s surroundings. Everywhere she looked, there were guards patrolling the yard. It was evident that David intended to hold her captive and use her as leverage against Gilbert. But she was no ace in the hole; she could not threaten Gilbert in any way.She could not stay trapped here forever, though.She had to find a way out. David''s seething resentment stemmed from her mother''s supposed ¡®betrayal¡¯. ¡®If I can retrieve Mom''s notebook from the Kooper residence and show David her true heart, then perhaps his animosity would dissipate.But how the hell could I get out?'' Kisa thought. As she scanned the guards outside the gate, a pang of despair crept over her face. Days ticked by, and the mansion remained eerily quiet. David did not make any major moves, leaving Kisa to fret over the fates of Gilbert and Madalyn. She scoured the news on her phone, but it only reported on GK''s acquisition, revealing nothing about Gilbert or Madalyn.She still had no clue whether Gilbert had found Madalyn. Kisa had tried calling him, but he never answered. She had even reached out to Kelvin and Davian, but they remained tight-lipped about Gilbert, giving her no answers. As dinner approached, David sauntered back into the room, delivering a te of nutritious food to her. Even though she was his captive, David did not skimp on her meals. She began to see that he was not all bad, merely consumed by his resentments and seeking a sense of justice. "Go on, eat up..," David instructed, plunking the dish down in front of her without further ado. Kisa leveled a sharp gaze in his direction. Chapter 1508 Chapter 1508 Chapter 1508 "Let me go.Gilbert would never trade me for his grandma.In his heart, she is his queen bee." David lit a cigarette and spoke in a slow, menacing tone, "I''ll let you go when I find Mrs.Kooper Sr." "Why the hell do you even care? Let bygones be bygones," she replied. "But I can''t." David chuckled. "I''ve been in hiding for too damn long, scheming for years, all for this moment. I can''t stop now. Mrs.Kooper Sr., Gilbert, and you all have to pay the price." "You resent Mrs.Kooper Sr. for booting you out of the Kooper family, huh? But let''s be real, as a mother, she is bound to y favorites with her own flesh and blood. Plus, she treated you like royalty every other day and even wept when mentioning you to me. She has still got a soft spot for you, doesn''t she?" David stayed silent, the smoke from his cigarette coiling around his fingers and enshrouding his face. Kisa let out a breath and continued. "And my mom, she didn''t betray you.She had a diary¡ª" "There is no damn diary," David interrupted, his voice cold as ice. " I went to the Kooper residence and searched high and low, but there was no such thing as you described. Heh, you still want to spin lies and say that she was in love with me?" "That is impossible!" Kisa eximed. "The diary is in my room, under the vanity, way in the back of the drawer." David locked his eyes on her, a sneer on his lips. "You and your mom are both pro actors, full of hot air, but damn good at selling your crap. It''s laughable." "I''m not lying. My mom left a diary and a photo album." "I cleared out your room, and there was a photo album, but no diary." "Like hell, someone must have swiped it. They don''t want you to see my mom''s true feelings. They want to stir up your hate, make you explode¡ª" But before Kisa could finish, David abruptly stood up and chuckled in a menacing tone. "Why don''t you eat now and focus on taking care of yourself? Once I find Mrs.Kooper Sr., I''ll arrange a little reunion with you and Gilbert. There is something I need to say to both of you, something that will definitely spark some fireworks." David finished his sentence with a sly smirk. Kisa''s heart skipped a beat. ¡®What the hell is he nning? And who took my mom''s diary?¡¯ Later that night, Kisa was jolted awake by a sound at the door. She red at the direction of the door, ready for anything. Soon, the door creaked open, and a tall figure strode in. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Kisa bolted upright. "Who are you?" "It''s me, Kisa." The figure closed the door shut and flicked on the lights. In the re of the light, Kisa realized it was Thomas. "Kisa, you okay?" Thomas rushed over to her, his voice tense. Kisa stared at him, stunned. "What the are you doing here?" "I heard about the Kooper family''s mess and was worried about you.So, I came to check on you, but I never imagined he had locked you up." "You???" "I did some digging about my past.Turns out my real dad is David, the same Uncle Adrien you keep referring to.I confronted him and found out he has you locked up.Don''t worry, Kisa.I''m getting you out of here¡­" Thomas helped her to her feet. Kisa eyed him suspiciously, sensing something was off Chapter 1509 Chapter 1509 Chapter 1509 Kisa asked, "What did David tell you when you confronted him?" Thomas helped her put on her coat and replied, "Not a damn thing.And he didn''t breathe a word about our mom either.Come on, Kisa.He''s asleep now, so we got to go.We can talk outside." "But there are guards all over the damn ce.How the hell are we supposed to escape?" Kisa asked, feeling worried. "We can.I dug a hole in the backyard ahead of time.We''ll slip out that way." Thomas sighed, "Maybe my biological father feels guilty about me.That''s probably why he let me stay here and didn''t even bother to put a tail on me.Lucky for me, otherwise I wouldn''t have had the chance to get you out." Thomas spoke with conviction, and Kisa did not dwell on it further. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Once they made it to the ground floor, they made a beeline for the backyard. "What the hell? There were guards posted outside my door.Howe they are not here today?" Kisa wondered. "Oh, I just made up some excuse to get them out of our way.We need to make a quick getaway before they catch on." Thomas led her to the hole he had dug in the backyard. Kisa checked it over, seeing fresh dirt and signs that the hole had been freshly dug, just as Thomas had imed. ¡®But..." She red at him. "David is one damn meticulous dude.Don''t you think our escape was too damn easy?" Theck of guards along the way made her anxious. Thomas''s expression darkened. "Kisa, do you...do you not trust me?" "Of course I do." Kisa rushed to reassure him. "But I don''t want us to fall right into David''s trap." "Don''t be afraid.Once we get out of here, we won''t be under his control anymore.Even if he has a scheme, he won''t be able to harm us, right?" Kisa was about to say something, when suddenly, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from the front yard. Thomas''s face changed, and he quickly said, ''Kisa, you go first, I will hold them off." "No.We''ll leave together." Kisa tightly held his hand. Thomas shook his head. "Don''t worry.David won''t hurt me.You go quickly." The footsteps were getting closer, and Kisa could not waste any time. She quickly crawled out of the hole.She heard Thomas''s voice, deliberately lowered, "Go right and keep running. When you reach the end, you will be at the intersection of the main road where there are more cars, and it is safer." Just as he finished speaking, a noise of fighting and arguing came from the other side of the wall. Kisa gritted her teeth and ran for her life toward the right.She looked back as she ran. The mansion was brightly lit, and she clenched her hands, thinking, ''A tiger does not eat its cubs.David shouldn''t hurt Thomas." Despite thinking that, she was still very afraid. She ran until she reached a green area and stopped.She could not see the mansion anymore and there was no one chasing her.She crawled into the green area and decided to wait for Thomas there. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, probably caused by running too fast and hurting her pregnancy.She sat on the ground, took out her phone, and dialed Gilbert''s number again. This time, Gilbert''s phone finally went through, and someone quickly answered. Kisa was overjoyed, but before she could say anything, a woman''s voice came from the phone. "Gilbert is taking a shower.Who are you and what do you want???" Kisa clutched her phone tightly, feeling tense all over. Soon, she heard Gilbert''s voice mixed with the sound of a door opening. "Who called?" "I don''t know¡­It is an unknown number, and the person didn''t say anything." Chapter 1510 Chapter 1510 Chapter 1510 "Since it is just a meaningless call, just hang up..." The line went dead. Kisa sat on the ground, stunned. ¡®Gilbert didn''t even bother saving my number.How much does he loathe me to treat me like aplete stranger? And that woman, what the is she doing with Gilbert? They seem too close!'' Countless spections raced through her mind, making her heart ache. But she took a deep breath and forced herself not to overthink. The urgent task was to get out of here. Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared in the distance.she gritted her teeth against the pain in her belly and squinted in its direction. With a streemp close by, she eventually saw that the person was Thomas. He had escaped, but he was hurt. Without hesitation, Kisa ran over to him and asked, "Are you okay? " Thomas froze for a second before blurting out, "What the hell are you still doing here? You need to get out of here, now!" Kisa did not reply. Instead, she pulled him to a nearby spot to sit down. Thomas had injuries on his arm and leg, and blood was pouring out of him. Kisa frantically tore up some tissue paper to stem the bleeding and urged, "We need to get to the nearest hospital, now!" But Thomas shook his head. "It''s just a few cuts and bruises.I''m okay." Kisa''s eyes darted to the foot-long gash on his leg, and her voice caught in her throat. "David is a monster.How could he do this to his own flesh and blood?" Thomas shook his head. "He''s still got some sense of family, believe it or not.That''s why he let me go." Kisa felt sad, but she did not say anything.She just focused on treating his wounds, while Thomas stared at her hair, his eyes clouded with a mix of gratitude andplexity. Terrified of being found by David, Kisa skipped the hotel and settled for a dingy motel instead. After she made sure Thomas was okay, she dashed out to buy some medicine and bandages. The morning was already bright, but the streets below were deserted, and the alleys were damp and grimy. Kisa had to go further out to find a drugstore. As she walked through a couple of alleys, she heard footsteps behind her. Her heart raced with fear so she quickened her pace, but the pain in her belly intensified and she could hardly move. She had to lean against the wall, panting heavily. Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her shoulder and shoved her against the wall.She screamed in terror, but when she saw who it was, her fear and helplessness turned into indescribable heartache. "Gilbert..." She choked, tears blurring her vision.But Gilbert''s gaze was ice-cold, full of suspicion and hatred. "What the hell are you doing here? Or is this another one of your dirty tricks?" "I''m not..." Kisa''s voice trailed off as she clutched her stomach. The pain was so intense that she was sweating and gasping for breath. Gilbert frowned, looking at her pale face with concern. "You¡ª" Before he could finish his sentence, Kisa''s body gave out and she copsed to the ground. Startled, he caught her in his arms.His gaze softened as he watched her, and then turned frantic as she lost consciousness. Kisa woke up again, the pungent smell of disinfectant making her nauseous.She realized she was in a hospital and sat up abruptly. There was a man leaning against the window, watching her intently. "Where am I??? How long was I out..?"Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Kisa demanded, ready to bolt from the bed. Chapter 1511 Chapter 1511 Chapter 1511 Thomas was holed up in the hotel.He was injured and his legs were practically useless. To make matters worse, his wound was starting to get infected, and he could not manage on his own without proper care. Meanwhile, Kisa was weak. When she tried to get up, she moved too quickly, causing her to stumble and fall clumsily to the ground as soon as her feet hit the floor. Gilbert was standing there, watching her with piercing eyes. His voice was colder than the icy winter winds. "What the hell were you doing in that alley? Are you and David scheming something again?" Kisa shook her head, struggling to get back up from the ground.She looked at Gilbert and asked, "Is your grandma okay?" Gilbert''s eyes scanned her up and down as he spoke with a frigid tone, "You look like a hot mess.Are you ying the distressed damsel to help David extract information about Grandma?" As Kisa listened to Gilbert''s baseless usations, a sharp pain pierced her heart. She took a deep breath and said nothing, silently walking out with her head bowed. Gilbert clenched his fists, his icy gaze filled with anger and a hint of intrigue. This clinic was situated in the middle of nowhere. Kisa bought some ointment and gauze. When she came out, she was dizzy and disoriented. Thankfully, a breakfast cart was stationed outside the clinic, and she hurriedly grabbed two sandwiches and a cup of coffee, devouring them in no time. As she ate, she felt her energy returning. Kisa nced back at the clinic and noticed that Gilbert had yet to emerge. She really wanted to know who that woman was that answered Thomas''s phonest night. But now, she felt like she had no right or position to ask. Suppressing her bitter thoughts, she staggered back to the hotel. The old city district was practically abandoned, with countless alleys leading to nowhere. Kisa had been circling around the area for ages before finally finding her way back to the hotel. When she opened the door, her heart skipped a beat. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Thomas was lying on the ground,pletely motionless. She rushed over, grabbing his arm and calling out to him. The man on the ground moved slightly, and he looked up at her groggily, "What is going on, Kisa?" Kisa was in a frenzy of worry. "Why the hell did you pass out on the ground? I need to get you to the hospital now!" "No.We can''t go to the hospital, or else David will find us soon," Thomas weakly protested, "I''m alright, just a bit dizzy and cold.I was going to get a drink of water, but I ended up falling over instead." She listened and quickly checked his forehead, which was hot to the touch. "You are running a fever.What are we going to do? I don''t give a damn, I''m calling for an ambnce," Kisa eximed in panic. "No..." Thomas struggled to take Kisa''s phone, "I''m fine, really.I just need to rest.Don''t cry." "But your wound is infected.Screw David.Even if he does find us, what can he do? He''s only after Madalyn, not me.He''ll just kidnap me to get Gilbert to exchange me for Madalyn.I''m calling the ambnce," Kisa sobbed, trying to take the phone back from Thomas. As Kisa was about to call for help, her phone was suddenly snatched away by a long, slender hand.She looked up in shock and found herself staring into Gilbert''s dark and intense eyes. He had been following her all along.Her heart sank, and she frantically wiped away her tears as she bean pleaded, "Please, Gilbert, save my brother! He got hurt trying to save me.Please!" Thomas''s face was deathly pale, his lips devoid of any color. His wounds on his arms and legs were infected and festering, making for a gruesome sight. Gilbert took a deep breath and looked coldly at Kisa''s teary, bloodshot eyes. "What the hell are you crying for??? He''s not dead." Chapter 1512 Chapter 1512 Chapter 1512 Gilbert just could not bring himself to be cruel to the woman before him. Despite everything, he took her to his ce¡ªa decrepit courtyard tucked away deep in the alleyways of the old city district. Kelvin had been taking care of his grandmother''s illness here. With Kelvin around, Kisa did not have to worry about Thomas'' injury. But Kelvin was not exactly thrilled to see her. As soon as heid eyes on her, his face darkened, and he grabbed Gilbert''s arm, saying in a harsh tone, "Why the hell did you bring her here? What if she rats us out to David and puts your grandma in danger?" Kisa was quick to defend herself, blurting out, I won''t tell David.I just escaped from him." Kelvin sneered, "Yeah, right.You''re full of sh*t.Who knows if you and David cooked up this little scheme to mess with us." "I didn''t¡ª" "Enough!" Gilbert cut her off coldly, turning to Kelvin. "Check out Thomas'' injury first." Kelvin scowled. "Are you kidding me? Not only are you not kicking her out, but now you want me to treat an enemy''s injury? You¡ª" "As soon as his injury heals, they are out of here," Gilbert snapped before heading inside. Kelvin shot Kisa a hateful look "Mrs.Kooper Sr. is his top priority. You better not be pulling a fast one on him this time." Kisa bit her lip, feeling a sharp pain in her chest.She said nothing and just helped Thomas stumble inside. As she settled him in, a woman suddenly came in, carrying groceries and medicine in her hands. "Gilbert, I''m back," she called out sweetly, her voice intimate and natural. Kisa stared at the woman, her heart sinking. ''Isn''t she Sara? What is she doing here?'' Memories of what happened at the Mullen residence flooded back, sending shivers down her spine. ''Sara had been sneaking around the Mullen residence, and David was there too.Who know if they are in cahoots? Moreover, she is hellbent on killing me.There''s no way she''s as innocent as she appears.But if I warn Gilbert about her intentions, will he even believe me?" Gilbert went up to Sara and took the groceries from her hands. "Rest a bit.I''ll cook dinner." Sara smiled and nodded, then looked at Kisa. "What are you doing here, Kisa? Weren''t you locked up by David?" Kisa did not respond, just coldly stared at her. Suddenly, Sara walked over with a friendly smile, taking her hand."I''m d you''re okay.I asked Gilbert to help you, but he didn''t listen.He said you couldn''t be in danger.Looks like he knows you better." Her words carried a deeper meaning. Kisa pulled her hand away and walked upstairs without a word. Sara called after her, "Mrs.Kooper Sr.is resting upstairs.Don''t disturb her." Ignoring her, Kisa found Kelvin.He was tending to Thomas'' wound, and upon seeing her, he just grunted and did not say a word. She looked at him for a while before whispering, "You guys need to be careful around Sara." Gilbert would not believe her, so she had to warn Kelvin. Kelvin let out a coldugh. "Do you know why Mrs.Kooper Sr.is safe here?" Kisa said nothing, but she had already pieced together some of the puzzle in her head. Sure enough, Kelvin continued, "It''s all thanks to Sara.The day you and David tried to take over the Kooper residence, it was Sara who saved Mrs.Kooper Sr." Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. "Have you ever wondered why she was able to save Mrs.Kooper Sr. in time?" "What are you trying to say???" Kelvin impatiently interrupted her.Kisa spoke in a low voice. "She''s probably working with David.Remember what happened at the Mullen residence???" Chapter 1513 Chapter 1513 Chapter 1513 Before Kisa could finish her sentence, the creaky wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and Gilbert stood coldly at the entrance. "If you''ve got something to say, just say it.No need to stir up trouble here." His eyes filled with disgust. Kisa''s heart sank.She averted his gaze and said, "I just want you guys to watch out for Sara.She''s very likely working with David.She was responsible for the copse in the basement of the Mullen residence." Gilbert leaned against the doorway and lit a cigarette. "She''s more honest than you are," he said, his voice tinged with fatigue. Kisa felt a sudden pang. "So you don''t believe me?" she asked. Kelvin suddenly let out a coldugh. "You just said it yourself.Sara confessed to us that she was helping David, including the incident at the Mullen residence.She overheard David plotting to hurt Mrs.Kooper Sr. and risked her own life to save her. If it wasn''t for her, Mrs.Kooper Sr. would probably be in David''s hands right now." "No..." Kisa shook her head urgently. "It must''ve been a trap she set up herself. She¡ª" This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. "Enough!" Kelvin cut her off impatiently. "One person risked everything to save Gilbert and Mrs.Kooper Sr., while the other did everything they could to harm Gilbert. Who should we believe? Sara suffered serious injuries while trying to save Mrs.Kooper Sr., and she works hard every day to take care of her. So you''d better watch what you say about her." "ye "And besides, David has been searching for Mrs.Kooper Sr. If Sara really is working with him, would Mrs.Kooper Sr. still be here safe and sound?" What Kelvin said left Kisa speechless. She turned to Gilbert. But Gilbert''s eyes were fixed on the old hackberry tree in the yard." When Thomas is better, take him with you and leave. You''re not wee here," he said coolly before heading downstairs. Kisa stared at the empty doorway, her hand clenching at her side. She did not believe a word that came out of Sara''s mouth. She told herself that she had to expose Sara''s true intentions. As evening fell, Sara cooked in the kitchen. Kisa watched her coldly and demanded, "So, what is the point of hiding Mrs.Kooper Sr. here?" Sara smirked. "What is the point? To save her, of course." She held out a bowl of soup to Kisa with a wicked glint in her eyes. "You''re lucky to be alive, but that won''tst long, because you are about to suffer a fate worse than death." Kisa''s heart raced with rm.She had no idea what this woman was up to. Sara extended the soup bowl toward her and said, ''''Help me take these out.They''re all starving." Kisa eyed her warily, refusing to take it. Suddenly, Sara poured the piping hot soup all over her own hand, the bowl shattering on the floor. The room filled with the sound of her agonizing screams. Before Kisa knew what happened, she was pushed aside with great force. Gilbert grabbed Sara''s burned hand and swiftly ced it under running cold water. Sara''s eyes glistened with tears as she pleaded, "Gilbert, don''t me Kisa.It was bean my fault.She is just a guest.I shouldn''t have asked her to help me carry the soup out.I guess she must have thought I was bossing her around, so she got mad and spilled the soup bowl.Please don''t me her." Kisa could not help but chuckle at the impressive performance. ¡°This woman is a real pro at acting, even better than Sharon.And the best part? This act never fails to fool the man." Gilbert remained silent, washing Sara''s burned hand for what seemed like ages before turning to face Kisa. Chapter 1514 Chapter 1514 Chapter 1514 "Tomorrow, you take Thomas and get out of here." Gilbert''s eyes were especially cold, sending a shiver down Kisa''s spine.She clenched her hands tightly and spoke in a low voice, "She spilled the soup on purpose and poured it onto her own hand." He closed his eyes slightly, his face filled with endless impatience and disappointment. He restrained his temper and growled, "Can you stop with the excuses already? Bringing you two back was a colossal mistake.Tomorrow, I want you both out of here and gone for good!" The man seemed to have returned to his initial callousness. ¡®It was I who had wrongly used him, hated him.And it was because of me that he ended up in this mess.How could he not despise me?'' she thought in her mind.Gilbert did not seem to want to look at her.He turned to Sara and said, "I''ll take care of the rest.You go have Kelvin look at your hand." Then he turned and went to cook. Sara gave Kisa a smug smile before wiping her shoulder and walking out. Kisa watched Gilbert busily cooking in front of the stove, but he never looked at her. After the meal was ready, he did not even call her to eat and left her standing in the kitchen, like an invisible person. In the end, it was Sara who pretended to be kind and came over to pull her. Kisa wanted to shake her off, but thinking that Sara was good at acting, she suppressed her disgust and obediently followed her to the dining table. "Gilbert, don''t kick Kisa out tomorrow, okay? She barely escaped from David''s clutches, and if she ends up back in his hands, it could be a disaster," Sara pleaded, with a face that was both soft and kind, tears welling up in her eyes. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org "David''s a lunatic.He thought I was the one you cared about the most, so he abducted me to get back at you.For years, he had been torturing me in every way possible.Believe me, Gilbert, it is not humanly possible to survive the days of being his prisoner.So please, don''t kick Kisa out.It''s safe here." Kisaughed inwardly. ''This woman''s pretending to plead for me, but in reality, she''s just trying to make herself look good." Just then, Kelvin chuckled sarcastically. "Sara, don''t be fooled.Look at Kisa, she is perfectly fine.Does she look like she has been abused by David? She did a great job for him, so why would he mistreat her? Let''s just worry about ourselves.Why pity her?" "Kelvin, don''t be like that.Even though Kisa doesn''t like me, we have been friends for years.We shouldn''t be so suspicious of each other.I believe she won''t harm us.The argument in the kitchen was my fault, and I will be more careful in the future, so there won''t be any more conflicts." Kisa had remained silent the whole time, but she was inwardly amused. ¡®Sara is a hundred times more cunning than Sharon.Every word sounds like she is speaking up for me, but she is actually justining about herself."She ignored Sara and had her meal in silence. ''I''m staying here tomorrow, and there is no way Gilbert will kick me out" she said in her mind. The next morning, Kisa ran into Gilbert as soon as she left her room.He seemed to be going out, so she hurried to catch up with him. "Where are you going?" She took the initiative to talk to him, who did not say anything. "Let me go with you.My belly hasn''t been feeling welltely, and I need to buy some medicine." Gilbert''s body tensed up at the mention of her pregnancy. Kisa quickly took advantage of the situation. "I''m not familiar with this ce.Can you take me to the pharmacy? " Chapter 1515 Chapter 1515 Chapter 1515 Early morning, the alley was quiet. Kisa followed the man in silence.She quickened her pace, hoping to walk shoulder-to- shoulder with Gilbert, but he matched her speed. ¡®Well, he hates me to the core now, so it''s a miracle he even took me out.So why would he bother with me?¡¯ she thought to herself. After passing through three small alleys, they emerged onto an old street with food vendors on either side. Gilbert wordlessly bought a few sandwiches and two cups of orange juice. When the sandwiches and orange juice were handed over, Kisa was overjoyed and smiled at him, "Thank you." Gilbert avoided eye contact and replied in a monotone voice, "I''m just worried about my child going hungry." He then walked toward a small pharmacy not far away. Kisa pursed her lips and smiled, quickly following him. "Symptoms?" the pharmacist nced at Kisa''s belly and asked. Kisa thought for a moment and said, "asional sharp pain and tightness in my belly, and a bit of spotting the night beforest." Gilbert''s brows furrowed slightly, and a flicker of concern passed through his eyes. The pharmacist looked at her belly again and said, "You''re not showing much, so it''s been only a couple of months since you got pregnant, right?" "Almost three months." "Your situation is quite serious, you''ve had spotting, so it''s better to see a doctor.This isn''t a small matter." This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "No need to go to the hospital.I had spotting the other night, but I''m fine now.Can you give me some pills to help with the pregnancy?" The pharmacist looked at Gilbert, who remained silent, then turned and got two boxes of pills. "This is herbal medicine.Try taking this first.If you still feel pain or tightness, go to the hospital right away." "Alright, thanks." As they left the pharmacy, Kisa turned to Gilbert and asked, "Where else do you need to go? Can I come with you?" But Gilbert did not respond and furrowed his brow, lost in thought. Kisa bit her lip and suggested, "If you don''t want me toe, that''s okay.I will go to the supermarket and get some groceries¡ª" "Let''s go to the hospital," Gilbert suddenly interrupted, coldly cutting her off. Kisa was taken aback and quickly said, "No need.I had some spotting when I escaped from David that night.I really don''t need to go to the hospital." But Gilbert pulled her into a taxi without another word. She worriedly added, "But going to the hospital will make it easier for David to find us.I''m afraid¡ª" "We are just going to get a check-up, not stay in the hospital.We will just use someone else''s ID to get the tests done," Gilbert retorted. Hearing Gilbert''s words, Kisa said nothing more. After all, she was also worried about her unborn child. Gilbert took her to a big hospital, and they used someone else''s ID, paying a fee for it. The ce was packed, and they had to wait in line for the ultrasound and blood tests. By the time all the tests were done, it was already noon. Gilbert stared the test results and finally let out a sigh of relief when Kisa reassured him that their baby was developing normally. On the way back, he remained silent while Kisa trailed behind him, feeling guilty as she looked at the dim and shabby alleyways. She gazed at Gilbert''s tall and slender figure, unable to resist asking him, "What are you nning to do next?" Gilbert froze in ce for a moment before turning to her and asking with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "What do you think I can do?" Kisa could not help but feel the weight of his words. After all, he had lost everything because of her. The only thing he could do now was to ensure his grandmother''s safety. But when they arrived back at their residence, what they found was a chaotic mess. Chapter 1516 Chapter 1516 Chapter 1516 The house looked like it had been through a tornado.The furniture was tossed around like a game of dominoes, and broken dishes littered the floor like shattered dreams.Gilbert raced upstairs at the sight of the chaos, leaving Kisa standing there stunned. She felt a sinking feeling in her heart, sensing something was terribly wrong. Upstairs, Gilbert''s voice echoed through the hallway as he frantically called out for his grandmother. Kisa''s hand felt icy cold as she followed him up the stairs, stepping over bloodstains and signs of a violent struggle. There were four rooms upstairs, and as Kisa reached thending, Gilbert came running out of Sara''s room, his face a mask of panic and fear. He shouted "Grandma" over and over again, but there was no answer. Suddenly, there was a loud noiseing from Thomas''s room. Kisa''s heart leaped, thinking maybe Thomas had managed to escape. But as she rushed into the room, she saw Kelvin instead. Kelvin was injured, with blood streaming from his forehead and mouth.His hands and legs were covered in bloodstains, and he was pale and barely conscious. Kisa had not even reached him when Gilbert burst into the room. "Are you okay? Where''s Grandma?" Gilbert asked anxiously, holding Kelvin''s shoulder. Kelvin spat a bloody phlegm on the ground and red at Kisa. "It''s...it''s her!" he suddenly pointed to her. Kisa felt a shiver run through her body as she sensed the anger and hatred in Kelvin''s words. Gilbert turned to look at her, his expression icy and his voice barely controlled. "What do you mean?" This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. "It was her and Thomas.They nned this whole thing.They staged this charade to get you to bring her back.Her real intention was to find out where your grandma is.To help David take your grandma away, she even lured you away on purpose to dy you.I have been telling you, Gilbert, she has been lying to you all along.She''s always plotting and scheming.She''s a heartless monster." Gilbert''s fists clenched tightly, his hands bulging with veins from his immense anger. As Kisa watched him, she felt a cold fear gripping her.She shook her head desperately. "I didn''t do anything.I didn''t reveal anything about your grandma.I didn''t plot against you.I swear.Please believe me¡ª" "Bam! As soon as the words left Kisa''s lips, there was a loud crash.Gilbert had just smashed the bedpost with his bare hand. Her face turned pale. ''He doesn''t believe me.He never believes me." She took a step back, feeling hopeless and helpless. "Gilbert, David has taken your grandma and Sara.Sara betrayed David and is now in his clutches.Who knows what kind of torture she''ll face.You have to save them," Kelvin urged, his eyes filled with hatred toward Kisa. Gilbert stood up slowly, turned around, and approached Kisa with an unexpected calmness in his eyes.His steady steps made her heart race even faster. She trembled as she pleaded, "Please, believe me.I didn''t do anything." "Then exin to me why David''s men showed up as soon as you did," Gilbert demanded. Kisa shook her head, trying to remainposed. "Why don''t you ever doubt anyone else? Maybe Sara and David were in cahoots.Maybe she set me up to take the fall." "That''s enough.Why are you still using others at a time like this? Do you novelebook know how severely Sara was injured trying to save Gilbert''s grandma? Do you have no conscience? You are truly despicable," Kelvin bellowed, his voice filled with fury. Gilbert''s eyes closed in disappointment. Watching the two''s reactions, Kisa backed away in sorrow, only to find herself against a wall of muscles. Chapter 1517 Chapter 1517 Chapter 1517 Kisa spun around frantically, only toe face to face with Thomas. Despite his sickly pallor, he looked better than he did the day before. And as soon as she saw him, she saw a glimmer of hope.She was convinced that Thomas was the only one who could clear her name.She seized his hand and demanded, "What''s going on? How did David manage to track us down?" Thomas grinned at her, a tender and loving smile that made him look like a caring brother.But his words were like a sledgehammer to Kisa''s heart. "David''s caught Madalyn, so we don''t have to keep up the charade anymore," he said. Kisa''s face went ashen, and she asked, her voice quivering with tension, "What are you talking about?" "Your n was a smashing sess.David nabbed Madalyn in record time, and he is thrilled.He wants to reward you.Soe on, and let''s go," Thomas said, trying to tug her along. "That''s enough! What n? What reward? Why are you trying to defame me? Why are you out to get me? You''re my brother, for God''s sake. What the hell is going on?" Kisa exploded. Suddenly, Thomas furrowed his brow and said, concerncing his tone, ''Kisa, what''s wrong with you? We agreed to bail once David caught Madalyn.Why are you still acting? Come on.Let''s go before they do something to you."'' He moved to embrace her. "Don''t you dare touch me!" Kisa shouted, her emotions spilling over. And then, out of nowhere, Gilbert spoke up, his voice cold, "Are you done with the theatrics yet?" Kisa whipped around to face him, her voice shaking with urgency and desperation. "He''s lying.It is not like that.You have to believe me." "Everyone''s full of sh*t, except for you," Gilbert sneered, his words cutting like a knife. Kisa''s heart sank as she looked at him, realizing that her hope had been nothing but a pipe dream. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Gilbert suddenly wrapped his hand around her neck, his eyes brimming with hatred and murderous intent. "I knew I shouldn''t have been a pushover and brought you back.I honestly want to kill you right now!" he snarled through gritted teeth. Kisa''s eyes filled with despair as she realized that no one would believe her.She remained silent. Thomas, on the other hand, was getting increasingly anxious. "Let her go, or your grandma and your little side piece won''t make it out alive," he warned. But Gilbert paid no attention to him and continued to re menacingly at Kisa''s ashen face. Thomas grew more frantic. "If anything happens to Kisa, I''ll make sure your little side piece pays for it with her life!" he shouted. Gilbert''s grip tightened slowly, but he never used full force. Eventually, he let go of Kisa, and she stumbled backward, hitting the door. All the strength seemed to have left her body, and she sank to the ground. Thomas acted quickly and held her tightly. Gilbert looked at the two of them with disgust. Go warn David not to touch my grandma and Sara. If he does, I''ll go down with him,"he snarled. Kelvin screamed from behind, "Gilbert, grab those two and use them as leverage to save grandma and Sara!" Thomasughed bitterly at Kelvin''s words. "If Kisa and I really mattered that much to him, he wouldn''t have asked us to do his dirty work.If you don''t believe me, try to apprehend us," he said, shrugging his shoulders. He half-hugged Kisa and began to move toward the door. Kelvin panicked and tried to chase after them, but Gilbert stopped him. "Just wait for David''s call," he said firmly. SLAP! Chapter 1518 Chapter 1518 Chapter 1518 The deserted alleyway echoed with the sound of a resounding p that shattered the silence. Kisa''s eyes narrowed as she red coldly at the man before her. " Why are you trying to smear my name?" Thomas tilted his head, a reddish-purple handprint swelling on his cheek. "I''m sorry," he mumbled, his voice tinged with guilt. Kisaughed bitterly, a sad smile spreading across her face. "Your apologies mean nothing to me. I thought I had family in this world, but you betrayed me. You chose to stand with your biological father, and for what? To frame me? Why, Thomas? Why would you do this to your own sister?" "Because I''m not your brother!" Thomas interjected, his voice low and firm. Kisa''s eyes widened, shock written all over her face. "What do you mean you''re not my brother?" Thomas suddenly fell silent, his eyes avoiding her gaze. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org In an instant, Kisa lunged forward and grabbed his arm tightly. "Then who are you? Where''s my brother?" she demanded, desperation creeping into her voice. "Your bracelet and birthmark, they all match." "Everything''s fake," Thomas growled, his guilt weighing heavily on him. Kisa shook her head in disbelief. "How can that be?¡± Seeing that she was upset, Thomas softened his tone, trying to calm her down. "Come with me. Uncle Adrien won''t hurt you. He just wants to y a game." Kisa''sughter was tinged with sadness. "How can you say that he won''t hurt me?" ¡®Do I seriously not have a single trustworthy person left by my side? Why does everyone seem to be turning against me? What the hell am I supposed to do now? How could I possibly save Madalyn and help Gilbert reim everything he has lost?" The sky above grew darker, as if the world was closing in on her. In that moment, Kisa felt herself slipping away, but not before catching a glimpse of Gilbert''s face. Yet, the anxious voice she heard belonged to Thomas, calling out her name. She woke up and immediately recognized that she was in David''s private mansion. The memories of what had happened before she passed out flooded her mind, causing her heart to ache. ¡®Gilbert will never forgive me,'' she thought, staring nkly at the ceiling with a lifeless gaze. David''s chuckling voice suddenly broke the silence. "You''re finally awake." Kisa slowly turned her head toward the man sitting by the window. It suddenly dawned on her that Thomas had set her up when he helped her escape. ''No wonder I had managed to escape so smoothly that day. It was all because I had foolishly trusted Thomas.¡¯ David rang the call button on the table, and a servant brought in some food. "Eat up. You need to regain your strength after what you''ve been through," he said. Kisa''s lip curled in disgust. ¡°You''re not fooling anyone with your fake concern." David chuckled. "Feisty as always, just like your mother." "Shut up! You have no right to even mention my mother!" ¡®It was you who abandoned my mother, leaving her to suffer alone, and ultimately driving her to depression and death. And now, you have the nerve toe and inflict more pain on me. So, how dare you even think you have the right to utter my mother''s name in your filthy mouth?" she cried out in her mind. David''s eyes darkened as he got up and lit a cigarette. "Finish your meal. I''ll take you to see Mrs. Kooper Sr." Kisa hesitated, but eventually got out of bed and followed him. Madalyn was locked up in a remote warehouse, guarded by a group of intimidating bodyguards. The iron door was secured with arge padlock. Kisa''s eyes darted around the ce, her voice dripping with anger. "How could you do this to the woman who raised you? Locking her up in this godforsaken ce!" Chapter 1519 Chapter 1519 Chapter 1519 David lowered his eyes and let out a low, sinister chuckle. "Compared to the hell I went through back in the day, this punishment is a goddamn joke." He signaled for his bodyguard to unlock the door. As the iron door creaked open, a voice filled with rage and fear echoed from inside. "Who are you people? Why did you snatch me up like this?" The warehouse was bare, but it had a bed and a shoddy table piled high with enough food and supplies to get by. Sara was locked up in there too, and Madalyny on the bed with Sara helping her sit up. When Kisa walked in, Madalyn froze like a statue, but Sara did not miss a beat. She shot daggers at Kisa and spat out, "What the hell are you doing here, Kisa? Did you really team up with these goons to hurt Mrs. Kooper Sr.? How could you be so heartless? She''s everything to Gilbert, and you''re putting him in danger, you scum." As Sara tore into Kisa, Madalyn''s face contorted with rage. "You despicable creature! You''re just as venomous as your trashy mother!" Madalyn snarled, her anger palpable. As Madalyn hurled insults, David''s hand visibly tightened at his side. ¡®Is he not going to tolerate anyone insulting his mother? But if he truly cares about his mother, why did he abandon her in the first ce?'' Kisa thought. "What do you want with Mrs. Kooper Sr.? Are you trying to use her to ckmail Gilbert?" Sara asked, her anger barely contained. She was doing a damn good job of pretending not to be in cahoots with David. Sara''s question only made Madalyn more agitated, and she red at Kisa with increasing hatred. "Let me tell you this, even if I die, I won''t let you hurt my precious grandson, you wicked b*tch." All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. "Your precious grandson?" David sneered suddenly, his voice as cold as ice. "Don''t worry, your precious grandson will be here soon enough." Madalyn''s face turned white as a sheet, "What are you nning? What are you going to do to my grandson?" Kisa watched as Madalyn panicked, realizing she still did not know that Adrien was actually David. But just as she was hesitating whether or not to spill the beans, Adrien reached up and started fiddling with something on his face. Kisa quickly realized what was happening as a human skin mask slowly peeled away from David''s face. She was shocked as she stared at the unfamiliar face in front of her. This had to be David''s true face. Madalyn was equally stunned, her voice trembling as she spoke, " David, is that really you?" She stumbled toward him, her wrinkled face lit up with excitement. "When did youe back? Why didn''t youe look for me? You have no idea how much I missed you." Madalyn grabbed onto David''s arm, tears streaming down her face.But David was not having any of it. He brushed off Madalyn''s handand spoke with a tone dripping with sarcasm, "Just a pawn you threw away. You remember that, right?" Madalyn gazed at him, dumbfounded. "What...what do you mean?" "You only adopted me back then to uphold your image of being a kind-hearted person. And then, you were afraid I would take away your biological son''s inheritance, so you plotted to kick me out of the Kooper family. Do you still remember all of this?" Madalyn froze, unable to refute him. All she could do was hang her head in sadness and say, "I really did treat you like a son back then. But I was afraid you would be enemies with Damon, and I¡ª" "Hmph!" David sneered, his voice tinged with bitterness. "Blood is thicker than water. I don''t me you for favoring your own son over me. But what I hate the most is that you betrayed me. I saw you as a mother, but you..." "I''m sorry. I''m sorry." Madalyn covered her face with her hands, sobbing with regret. "It was my paranoia back then. I''m sorry. But I''m d you are back now." Madalyn reached for his arm again, her face beaming with excitement. "We can be a family again." But David''s expression was bleak. "We can''t go back." Chapter 1520 Chapter 1520 Chapter 1520 "Why can''t we go back?" Madalyn asked, urgencycing her voice. "If we return to the Kooper residence, things can be just like before. You still have Jensen, and you¡ª" "Enough!" David cut her off with a snap, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Damn, you''ve really lost your edge. You''re a smart cookie, how did you not figure out that I''m the one who kidnapped you, and that I''m behind the fall of GK? I set it up so your precious grandson would have nothing, and I took over the Kooper residence, leaving you and your grandson with no ce to go. You''re just trying to suck up to me, tter me, and even repent, all to save your grandson''s *ss. You used to be all about your son, but now you only care about your precious grandson. Jensen and I are just pawns in your perfect little game, am I right?" Madalyn looked at him with aplicated expression, unable to say a word. Finally, her feeble voice broke the silence. "I know I messed up, and if you want to get back at me, then do it. Just spare Gilbert. He still respects you as his elder." "Heh!" David scoffed. "Gilbert is all you give a damn about now. If I really want to get revenge, I''ve got to hit you where it hurts, isn''t that right?" Madalyn''s heart sank. "What do you want, David? Haven''t you done enough damage already? You took everything from him, and you''re still not satisfied?" "What I''ve done so far isn''t even close to enough." As David reminisced about the past, his eyes filled with a burning hatred and a mad intensity. "I suffered so much because of you. I was kicked out of the country and forced to live like a dog. Can you even imagine what it was like to be the once-glorious son of the Kooper family, reduced to nothing but a pitiful, trash- picking beggar on the streets of some godforsaken foreignnd? Did you see me, a once proud and arrogant rich boy, be nothing but a ything for sickos, with no dignity left? And then there''s this..." Adrien ripped open his shirt, revealing several gnarly scars on his chest. "They used me for target practice. How many times did Ie close to death? It was only my hatred for you that kept me alive." Madalyn had her hand over her mouth, shaking her head sadly. " Stop it. It''s... it''s my fault. All my fault..." David let out a bitter chuckle, tears glistening in his eyes. "Sometimes, I wish you never adopted me in the first ce. Thenmaybe I wouldn''t have fallen from heaven into this living hell. You raised me only to abandon me. You ruined my whole life." "I''m sorry, David. I''m so sorry," Madalyn cried, her remorse palpable. David shook his head, hisughced with bitterness. "Sorry isn''t going to cut it. What hurts me the most is that you made me lose Emilia." "No. No. That woman was a goddamn snake. She got with Christopher all on her own. If she bean really loved you, she could have waited for you toe back," Madalyn defended herself. "You''re spouting nonsense!" Kisa, who had been quiet until now,could not take it anymore. She spoke up, her voice filled with fury. "It was Carolyn who ruined my mom. No one helped her back then. She had no choice but to marry Christopher."Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. "What does no choice mean?" Sara sneered in retort. "Whether she wanted to get married or not was her own decision. Betrayal is betrayal. There''s no need to make excuses for her." "Enough!" David''s voice boomed, cutting through the tension in the room. He looked at Madalyn, who was full of regret, and his smile turned menacing. "There''s no point in dwelling on the past. All I want now is revenge. Once Gilbert gets here, all the bullsh*t from before can disappear." "You don''t have to wait. I''m already here." Chapter 1521 Chapter 1521 Chapter 1521 David had barely finished speaking when a familiar voice echoed through the doorway, sending a jolt through Kisa''s body. She spun around to see Gilbert standing there, but he paid her no attention. Instead, his eyes were fixed on Madalyn with a look of panic. "I''m here. Let my grandma go," Gilbert barked at David. David snickered. "You''ve got it all twisted. I didn''t bring you here to bargain for her freedom." Gilbert''s brow furrowed, and his eyes turned icy. "If youy a hand on my grandma, we''ll both go down in mes." David let out a chuckle. "Wow, talk about family ties." This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Madalyn clutched David''s arm, pleading with him, "David, please don''t do this. It was my fault. Forgive him, forgive yourself. Let me take the me. Please, let him go.¡± "Enough!" David brushed her off in indignation. Madalyn backed away, and Gilbert quickly rushed over to support her. He red at David. "What do you want? Spit it out. Even if you want my life, I''ll give it to you, but let my grandma go." "Don''t do it, Gilbert. What happened in the past is my burden to bear." Madalyn begged. David watched their family bond for a moment before lighting up a cigarette and chuckling softly, "Do you really think I''m that ruthless? Did I bring you all here just to kill you?" Gilbert scowled, baffled by the stranger''s words and his uncanny familiarity. He could not figure out what David wanted. But Kisa''s heart was racing. She remembered David''s words, how he promised to strike a heavy blow against Gilbert. David was a wild card, and it made her anxious. David exhaled a puff of smoke, sneering. "I brought you all here to make you suffer. Who said anything about killing you? If you all died, then my revenge would be pointless." But the more David spoke, the more Madalyn became anxious and fearful. She snapped at him, "What''s your endgame? The Kooper family can give you everything. What more do you want?" David gave Gilbert a knowing look and said in a low voice, "When Damon was alive, I was his shadow. I could only have bean everything he didn''t want. And now that my son Jensen has joined the Kooper family, he follows in my footsteps. He can''tpete with Gilbert for anything, not even women. And since you only care about them and no one else, I will make sure they suffer for a lifetime. Damon may be gone, but Gilbert''s still here. My goal is not only to get revenge on Christopher and Carolyn, but to make Gilbert suffer for the rest of his life." David''s eyes glittered with malice as he looked at Gilbert. Madalyn was terrified and clung to Gilbert''s hand. He tried to calm her down and said coolly to David, "Do your worst. What is worse than death?" David let out a cold chuckle and abruptly pulled Kisa toward him. She stumbled, catching Gilbert''s eye for a fleeting moment before he turned away, his stony profile oozing aloofness. Kisa lowered her gaze, waiting anxiously for David''s next move. David took a drag of his cigarette and smirked at Gilbert, "Do you know why your grandma suddenly stopped you from seeing this woman?" Chapter 1522 Chapter 1522 Chapter 1522 Gilbert furrowed his brow, and his eyes darted toward Madalyn, who was now white as a sheet. She frantically shook her head at David and pleaded, "No, don''t say it..." David onlyughed harder. The more terrified Madalyn became, the more David relished in her fear. He turned to Gilbert and said, "Because, you know what? This woman is the one who killed your biological parents." "Biological parents?" Gilbert mumbled, his mind conjuring up gruesome and gory images. His head pounded with a cacophony of sharp, piercing sounds, and his scalp tightened with every beat of his heart. He held his head in agony, struggling to catch his breath, as Madalyn clung onto him, desperately trying tofort him. " Gilbert, don''t think about it, don''t think about it. It''s going to be okay. Everything will pass." But David only sneered at Gilbert''s pain and misery. "Did you really think you could escape the truth about your parents'' tragic deaths? Your mother loved you so much that she held you until her dying breath. And your father? Well, let''s just say his death was beyond brutal..." Kisa''s anger red, and she could not bear to listen any longer. "Enough!" she roared. "Look, he and his parents have done nothing wrong to you, or to Jensen for that matter. Yet you''re using the death of Gilbert''s parents to hurt him. Don''t you think that''s going too far? Don''t you feel any remorse for their deaths?" This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. The final sentence seemed to hit a nerve with David, as a momentary glimmer of emotion shed across his eyes. But it was quickly drowned out by a wild, seething hatred. "All my life''s tragedy began with Damon," he snarled, his voice dripping with malice. "Stop right there! Your tragic story has nothing to do with him or even my mom. You''re just stuck in a rut, unwilling to let go of your own past and unable to ept the love of those around you. You constantly y the victim, feeling sorry for yourself and ming the world for your problems. It''s a self- destructive mentality that''s costing you your own happiness. If only you had taken my mother and left when you had the chance, maybe things would have turned out differently. And let''s not forget Miss Mullen. If only you had chosen to spend your life with her, you could have found your own happiness ¡ª" "Shut your mouth!" David roared, his eyes burning with fury. " Don''t you dare mention that woman''s name! I risked my life toe back for her, but she was too busy ying house with Christopher, enjoying his wealth and status. She''s nothing but a shallow, vain, and selfish woman who betrayed me. How dare you twist the truth.¡± "That''s not what happened. My mom¡ª" "You''re all a bunch of selfish, lying hypocrites, pretending to be the victims when you''re the ones who caused all the trouble. It makes me sick! Damon and Emilia are gone, but you''re all still here, living your lives. People like you don''t deserve to be happy." Davidughed wickedly, his eyes filled with nothing but pure hatred. Gilbert gasped for air, his head throbbing with sharp pain. Gory images kept swirling around his mind, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry. And amidst it all, he could hear a gentle voice calling out to him incessantly ¡ªit was his mother''s voice. He pressed his fingers against his temples, his eyes turning bloodshot with rage. "Tell me, how did my parents die?" "No... don''t say it, David," Madalyn shook her head repeatedly at David. But David just grinned,ughing like a bloodthirsty demon. He looked at Kisa with a deep, meaningful stare that sent shivers down her spine. Chapter 1523 Chapter 1523 Chapter 1523 She gripped her hands tightly by her side, body tense as she stared down David. Slowly, David began to speak. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "It was a stormy night when Emilia fell and went into prematurebor. Instead of calling an ambnce, she called your dad. Being friends with Emilia, your parents rushed to her aid. But on their way there, they got into a terrible car ident and died on the spot. And if you really want to get down to it, it was Emilia''s unborn child that caused the ident. That child never should have existed, but it survived. And that child is her, Kisa." Gilbert''s body shook violently, and his pupils shrunk in horror. Memories that he had buried deep inside came flooding back in fragments. "Aunt Emilia is having a baby. If it''s a girl, will you marry her?" "No, I want her to be my little sister. Can we go see her, Mom?" "Sure, but whether it''s a brother or sister, you need to be kind to them." "Hurry, Emilia''s in critical condition!" The family quickly piled into the car and disappeared into the rainy night. But before long, their happy chatter and worried concerns were all crushed by a massive truck. Pain coursed through him as if he was reliving the whole thing. His mother''s weak cries and bloody embrace stabbed his heart and took his breath away. Everything was ying out cruelly in front of him, despair and fear wrapping him in a cocoon of misery. He clutched his head, his face twisted in agony. Kisa shook her head mechanically, feeling ice cold all over. ¡®This was why Gilbert''s parents were dead. No wonder Madalyn always called me a cursed child, saying I shouldn''t have existed. It was my fault his parents were gone. What am I supposed to do now?! Madalyn held Gilbert tightly, her painful memories making her seem even older. She turned to Kisa with tears in her eyes. "It was because Carolyn told me the truth about Damon''s death that I called you. I wanted to hear the truth from you, but before you could arrive, Sharon pushed me down the stairs. When I woke up, I med you for it. I couldn''t bear the thought of Gilbert finding out the truth about his parents'' death and not being able to cope. But you never understood my motives. You never did. What do I do now? My poor, sweet Gilbert!" "I never imagined it woulde to this," Kisa whispered, her body chilled to the bone. She clung to herself, the weight of despair pressing down on her until she could barely breathe. She knew she did not even deserve to apologize. ¡®Madalyn is right. I have always owed Gilbert. I have deprived him of a happy childhood and the love of his parents, and now it''s all my fault. Madalyn''s words rang true¡ªin this world, I''m the one who has let Gilbert down the most. No wonder Mom hated stormy nights so much. No wonder she made me promise to protect someone named Gilbert, even if it meant sacrificing my own life. I had no idea it was Gilbert I owed all along,'' Kisa cried in her mind. David watched the three of them with satisfaction. He loved seeing them in pain. But for some reason, his heart ached with a dull throb. He took a drag on his cigarette, trying to ignore the pain. He sneered at Gilbert. "So now you finally understand. There''s nowhere left to hide. It''s pretty ironic that you fell in love with the person who killed your parents and even had a child with her. If your parents resting in peace found out about this, they would roll over in their graves. And every time you look at her, you will be reminded of their tragic death. Hahaha... hahaha..." Chapter 1524 Chapter 1524 Chapter 1524 Gilbert''s eyes were nk and devoid of any emotion, his body rigid and tense as if he was still ensnared in the grip of a terrible memory. Kisa was too scared to even make eye contact with him. Meanwhile, David was puffing away on his cigarette, feeling pretty pleased with himself. He sneered, "None of you losers will ever find happiness." "Enough." Madalyn''s voice cracked with despair. "I caused all of this. If I hadn''t schemed to get rid of you, you wouldn''t have broken up with that rotten Emilia. And my son and daughter-in-w wouldn''t have gotten into a car crash trying to save her and her unborn child. It''s all my fault. Just kill me and spare my grandson.Damon treated Jensen so well, why can''t you do the same forGilbert? Just think about how Damon was,e on." David''s eyes flickered with a hint of emotion. But suddenly, aloud commotion erupted outside the warehouse, and everyone turned to look at the door. Except for Sara, who had a dark gleam in her eyes. Two ragged figures burst into the room. Kisa''s gaze fixed on the intruders, and she saw that they were none other than Christopher and Carolyn. Both of them had explosives strapped to their bodies, and the guards outside were too scared to even approach them, cowering in fear from a distance. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. David narrowed his eyes and asked, "It''s you two?" "David, you filthy rich brat!" Carolyn shouted, ring at him like she wanted to kill him. Her face was twisted with a wild mix of love and hate. "I loved you so much, I was willing to give up everything for you. How could you treat me like garbage? Emilia was just some cheap piece Christopher got tired of. She didn''t deserve to be on your mind for a single second." Christopher''s face was twisted and crazed, and he looked like he was about to snap. "I''ve lost everything, are you happy now? That cheap woman was nothing but a dead fish in bed. If you want her so bad, go look for her in hell. Hahaha... hahaha..." Heughed like a madman, holding a burning torch that could set off the explosives strapped to his body any second. Despite the deadly threat, David remained unnervingly calm. He acted like he had no fear of death and just took another drag of his cigarette while shooting Christopher and Carolyn a look of utter disdain and disgust. His eyes narrowed, and they looked like he was staring at garbage. "You two destroyed her. You''re the ones who should die." David''s tone was deceptively steady, but it was clear that his words were full of hate and a desire for revenge. Carolyn and Christopher inched closer, their faces twisted in mad grins. Kisa was about to drag Gilbert to safety or make a break for it when she realized he had vanished without a trace. Her heart raced with fear as she frantically looked around, but there was no sign of him or Sara anywhere. Madalyn was the only one left, her eyes locked on Carolyn and Christopher as they drew closer. Kisa quickly spotted a small door closing at the back of the warehouse and caught a glimpse of Sara''s figure disappearing through the crack. Kisa frantically yanked Madalyn toward the small door, only to discover it was firmly locked. It had to be Sara who had sealed it shut from the other side. She realized that Sara must have scouted out the warehouse before since she knew about the small door and even had the key to lock it from the outside. It was clear that Sara was behind the sudden appearance of Carolyn and Christopher. The only way out was through the main entrance. Kisa''s eyes darted toward the main entrance. Chapter 1525 Chapter 1525 Chapter 1525 Carolyn and Christopher stood only three meters away from the door, blocking her escape. But if she tried to run, Carolyn and Christopher could ignite their explosives and turn her and Madalyn into dust. There was no hiding in the corner either. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. The explosives on their bodies could level the entire warehouse. Gritting her teeth, she growled at Christopher, "What the hell are you doing? Sharon''s still in there.If you die like this, what will happen to her?" Christopher loved Sharon more than anything. So, she mentioned Sharon''s name to try and snap him out of it.It worked. Christopher looked up at her with a hint of emotion and reluctance. Maybe he remembered she was his daughter too. But Carolyn''s scream shattered the moment. "Sharon was harmed by this lowlife.If she doesn''t die, Sharon will never be happy.Damn it, they all deserve to die! They not only hurt Sharon but ruined us too.They all deserve to die!" Carolyn screamed, her red eyes focused on David.She even had a glimmer of hope in her eyes when she asked David, "Don''t you have anything to say to me?" Maybe she still loved him, even now. David slowly blew smoke rings as he uttered, "You deserve to die." Carolyn''s high-pitched scream echoed through the room as she struggled to ept the truth. "Why? What did Emilia have that I don''t?" she wailed. "Get down on your knees and apologize to her!" he said with a smirk, watching the crazed woman before him. His words were like gasoline on a fire, only fueling Carolyn''s anger. She moved the torch closer to her explosives and screamed at David, "You''re so stupid! Emilia betrayed you, had a child with another man, and never loved you.You''re still thinking about her after all this time? How pathetic.She only loved money, and Christopher gave her money, so she went to him.That night, she knew there was something wrong with that drink, but she used it to y the victim and make men feel sorry for her.She only loved Damon.What are you? You are nothing!" David''s anger boiled over, and he pped Carolyn hard.She crashed into the wall, then hit the ground, and the torch in her hand also fell to the ground. Blood filled her mouth as sheughed and said, "That''s the truth!" She reached for the torch but did not even flinch as the mes singed her fingers.She stared at David admiringly. "You should know the true face of that b*tch before you die.She used you to marry into the Kooper family, but in truth, she loved Damon.You''ve been thinking of her for so long and nning revenge for her, but it''s all so pathetic and funny." David''s body trembled with anger as if he had reached his boiling point. Kisa quickly interjected, "Don''t listen to her lies! She''s trying to defame my mother.If you read my mother''s diary, you will see that she only loved you in the end." While speaking, she pulled Madalyn toward the door, ready to escape. Chapter 1526 Chapter 1526 Chapter 1526 Carolyn locked eyes with David, a sinister grin spreading across her face. "If you don''t believe me, let''s go ask her together, shall we?" With that, she flicked her lighter, igniting the explosives strapped to her chest. Christopher followed suit. Kisa''s face went ghost-white, and she instinctively grabbed Madalyn, trying to escape the building. But Madalyn was paralyzed with fear, unable to move.She screamed at Kisa through tears, "Run, just save yourself!" BOOM! The detonations roared, sending a massive shockwave rippling through the air. In the midst of the chaos, Kisa felt someone shield her and Madalyn from the st. Waves of pain and disorientation washed over them as the unknown protector held them close. As Kisa drifted into unconsciousness, she caught a fleeting glimpse of their savior¡ªit was David. The earth-shaking explosions haunted Kisa''s dreams, a constant reminder of the terror they''d just experienced. Gilbert''s frantic voice echoed in her ears, each anguished call for Madalynced with despair and helplessness. ¡®Madalyn...What happened to her?" Kisa jolted awake, wincing as pain shot through her arm. Surveying her surroundings, she found herself in an unfamiliar ce. ¡®Where am I?'' she wondered. The room was immacte, and a fresh flower on the table added a touch of elegance. Through the window, she saw a courtyard, the stark beauty of the winterndscape bathed in sunlight. ¡®But where am I? What happened to Gilbert, Madalyn, and David?'' As if in answer to her thoughts, the door swung open. A young girl entered, carrying a porcin basin. Kisa''s brow furrowed. "Jolina?" Jolina''s face brightened. ''"Kisa, you''re awake!" Kisa was baffled. ¡®Didn''t I pass out in a warehouse? Wasn''t there an explosion? How did I end up with Jolina?'' Jolina rushed to her side, wringing a warm towel from the basin and handing it to Kisa. "Wash up, and I''ll bring you some chicken noodle soup." With that, she dashed out of the room. Kisa gazed out the window at the chickens in the courtyard and the distant fields and ponds. ''Is this the countryside? Jolina''s hometown?'' Jolina reappeared with a steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup. "Kisa, eat something.You just woke up." Kisa''s eyes filled with worry. "How did I get here? Where''s Gilbert?" Jolina shook her head. "Peter brought you here.He said you were badly hurt and needed time to heal, especially since you''re pregnant.You need to rest." Kisa instinctively touched her belly. Jolina quickly reassured her. "Don''t worry, the town doctor checked you out.Your baby''s fine; you just had some pregnancy difort."Kisa breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where''s Peter?" Jolina''s lips pressed together. "Outside." This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Peter looked haggard and withdrawn, barely speaking a word since he entered the room. After a long silence, he finally spoke. "My brother told me the warehouse''s location.By the time I arrived, it was in ruins.You and Mrs.Kooper Sr.were buried under the rubble, shielded by David." Kisa''s heart tightened. "What about the others?" "Kelvin took Madalyn and Gilbert.As for David..." Peter clenched his fists, his voice strained, "Jensen took him." Chapter 1527 Chapter 1527 Chapter 1527 Kisa''s eyes widened. "Jensen?" Peter managed a faint smile. "Yeah, surprising, right? Turns out Jensen''s been awake for a while now.Mia betrayed you because of him.After all, David is his father.His voice wasced with mixed emotions as he spoke.But Kisa had no energy to dig deeper or feel resentment toward Jensen. Her concern was immediate: "Are they okay?" Peter looked down, chuckled sadly, and finally stood up, speaking softly. "You should focus on yourself first." All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. As he turned to leave, Kisa asked quickly, "Why did you bring me here?" Peter replied, "If you want to keep your unborn child safe, stay here quietly." And with that, he was gone. Though Kisa was baffled by Peter''s actions, her main worry was for Gilbert and Madalyn''s safety. David, who had protected her and Madalyn in the end, had shown his true colors. She wondered why Jensen had pretended to be in a vegetative state for so long. As she recovered, Kisa''s body remained weak, especially her arms, which had been badly injured by the explosion''s debris. Jolina took care of her daily, tending to her wounds with care. Despite her worry for Gilbert and the questions swirling in her mind, her physical condition forced her to stay with Jolina to heal. Jolina''s parents were around, both incredibly kind and warm. Jolina also had a younger brother who was polite and thoughtful. The vige was small and peaceful, with friendly residents and a tranquil, natural environment. If not for her burdens, it would have been the perfect ce to heal. One day, Kisa used Jolina''s phone to call Gilbert, but the number remained unreachable. She tried calling Kelvin and Davian, too, but to no avail. She scoured the inte for news about the Kooper family and the explosion, but it was as if everything had been a dream that vanished without a trace. She felt cut off from their world, unable to re-enter. Time flew, and two months passed in a heartbeat. As spring arrived, life bloomed anew, and the vige''s scenery became even more captivating. The breeze seemed softer than ever. Kisa''s injuries had mostly healed, leaving only scars on her arms. One day, Kisa gently touched her growing belly, thinking about discussing her departure with Jolina. But then, a sh of light caught her eye¡ªJolina was holding a bracelet identical in color and shape to her mother''s. Kisa approached Jolina quickly, her voice trembling, "Where did you get this bracelet?" Jolina, looking puzzled, replied, "Peter gave it to me." "Peter?" "Yes, he said it''s the only thing his mother left him, and he''s worn it since childhood." Jolina''s expression became troubled. "As you know, there''s a lot of pain and terrible history between Peter and me. I couldn''t ept this gift, but he insisted." Struggling to contain her excitement, Kisa asked, "What do you feel for him now?" Jolina shook her head, answering with difficulty, I don''t know.I used to be terrified of him, and I hated him.But now, he seems different.I know I shouldn''t have feelings for a man who tormented and forced himself on me, but he really has changed.I don''t know how to face him.I wanted to give this bracelet back to him.I..." "It''s okay," Kisa gently patted Jolina''s shoulder, reassuring her with a soft whisper, "Don''t worry.Just follow your heart." As she gazed at the bracelet in Jolina''s hand, recalling the birthmark on Peter''s chest, a surge of emotion welled up inside her.Out of nowhere, they heard frantic voices calling out, " Something''s wrong! Something''s wrong!" Chapter 1528 Chapter 1528 Chapter 1528 Just then, Jolina''s younger brother, Joshua Wayne, came sprinting over, his face etched with panic. "Sis, something terrible happened!" mhe eximed, anxiously grabbing Jolina''s hand. "Peter fell into the river!" During springtime, fresh grass sprouted on the field ridges, and the vigers prepared to sow seeds. The fields needed water, so Peter and Jolina''s father decided to divert water from a nearby river into the fields. Apparently, while setting up the water pipes near the riverbank, Peter had slipped and plunged into the water. Although Peter was a strong swimmer, the river''s rapid currents, fueled by water diversion from neighboring viges, swept him away. Jolina''s father paced the riverbank, guilt consuming him. "This is all my fault.I should''ve been the one setting up the pipes.Peter insisted on doing it so I could rest.What are we going to do now?" Jolina''s eyes reddened as she stared at the turbulent river, her tense posture betraying her anxiety and concern. Kisa asked the vigers, "Has anyone called the fire department and search and rescue teams?" "Yes, we''ve called them, but the river is long, and there are so many rocks.We don''t know where he might have been swept to," they replied. The search and rescue team arrived swiftly, and everyone helped scour the riverbank. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. As darkness fell, the team advised everyone to return home and wait, fearing further idents. Jolina sat silently, her eyes red and swollen from crying, as she stared at the bracelet on her wrist. Her mother prepared dinner, but no one had the appetite to eat. At midnight, the search and rescue team returned, only to shake their heads and announce they''d continue searching downstream the next day. The family spent a sleepless night, the heavy atmosphere suffocating them. Jolina''s mother urged Kisa to rest, but Kisa refused, staring nkly outside like Jolina. As dawn broke, there was still no sign of Peter. Kisa looked out the window, feeling suffocated, when suddenly she heard slow footsteps outside the courtyard. Her heart raced as she quickly turned to look, with Jolina rushing out ahead of her, eximing, "Peter!" There he was, drenched and disheveled, cuts on his face. Jolina embraced him, sobbing with joy. "It''s really you! You''re alive.I''m so d." Peter hesitated before slowly returning her embrace, a disbelieving smile on his face. He had never expected Jolina to embrace him willingly one day. Kisa, supporting her belly, struggled to stand. She slowly walked over to Peter, smiling and calling out, "Peter, my brother!" Peter''s eyes filled with aplex mix of emotions as he looked at her. After falling into the river, he had desperately tried to swim to shore, but the rapid currents quickly swept him away. Eventually caught by arge rock, he managed to free himself and climb ashore. However, an injury to his leg had dyed his walk back. As Jolina tended to his wounds, Kisa smiled at him and said, "I''m d you''re okay." Peter looked at her, wanting to say something, but remained silent. Chapter 1529 Chapter 1529 Chapter 1529 After their sibling connection came to light, Peter felt a bit awkward around Kisa. However, Kisa''s open-hearted nature and genuine concern for his injuries helped bridge the gap. She began sharing stories about their mother with him. Peter eagerly absorbed every detail, craving the maternal love he''d missed out on. He bombarded Kisa with questions about their mother, asking if she was kind, if she treated Kisa well, and if she''d ever mentioned him. Kisa shared all her memories and told Peter about a photo album of their mother, promising to show it to him once they returned home. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Three dayster, Kisa nned to leave the vige. During that time, Jolina had taken care of Peter, and his misfortune had surprisingly brought them closer together. Peter initially intended to leave with Kisa, but his injured leg forced him to stay and recover. On departure day, Jolina and Peter apanied Kisa to the vige entrance to catch a ride. Peter, concerned, said, "Can''t you wait for me? When I''m better, we can go back together." Kisa shook her head: "I don''t know how Madalyn and Gilbert are doing.Every day I''m here is agonizing.Once everything is taken care of, I''lle back and stay for a while.At that time, I hope for a warm wee from you, Jolina." "Of course, you''ll be weed," Jolina said, embracing her, reluctant to let go. "Take care and be safe." "You both take care, too," Kisa replied. The vige was a short three-hour drive from Calthon''s city center. Kisa arrived in the city center a little after 2 pm, greeted by bright sunlight. She tried calling Gilbert from a payphone, but there was no answer. With no other options, she took a cab directly to the Kooper residence. As soon as she stepped out of the car, she heard a familiar voice behind her. She turned around to see Mia standing not far away. Mia took her to a Lyonnaise cuisine restaurant. "These are all safe for pregnant women to eat.Go ahead and dig in." Kisa frowned at her. "How did you know I hade?" Mia smiled. "After the explosion, you must have been worried about the Kooper family''s situation.But Jensen had suppressed all the news about the family and the explosion, so you couldn''t find any information.I knew you''de to the Kooper to check.And Jensen...he''s waiting for you here." "What do you mean?" Miaughed self-deprecatingly, You don''t know yet, do you? Jensen has changedpletely.David worked so hard to seize the Kooper family''s fortune to give to Peter, but Jensen took it all.He''s be ruthless.Not only does he want the fortune, but he also wants you." In other words, Jensen controlled all of the Kooper family''s assets and the mansion. Kisa anxiously asked, "What happened to Mrs.Kooper Sr., Gilbert, and David?" Mia paused her tea-drinking. She put down her teacup and spoke softly, "Gilbert''s fine, but David''s paralyzed, and Mrs.Kooper Sv...she''s dead." "What?" Kisa''s cup fell from her hands as she asked, her face pale, "Dead?" "Yes, she died on the spot," Mia said, looking at her sympathetically. "I advise you not to look for Gilbert now.Find a ce to stay where nobody knows you, and then..." "Where is he now?" "He may not want to see you.After all, he despises you.His parents and grandma died because of you.Despite the misunderstandings, that''s an undeniable fact." Mia''s words struck Kisa like a dagger to her heart. The chasm between Kisa and Gilbert had only grown wider. Three lives were now lost ¡ª the people he cherished the most. Reluctantly, Mia revealed Gilbert''s whereabouts at Kisa''s insistence.He had been staying with Kelvin since the explosion. Kelvin owned several luxurious vis, and this new one was challenging to locate without Mia''s guidance. As Kisa entered the courtyard, a frosty voice met her ears. Chapter 1530 Chapter 1530 Chapter 1530 "How dare youe here?" The voice belonged to Kelvin. He marched toward Kisa, his face brimming with intense animosity, "You''ve already caused Mrs.Kooper Sr."s death, and now you want to harm Gilbert too? Have you no conscience? Get out, now!" Kelvin shooed her away, stopping just short of using force. Kisa knew she hadmitted grave wrongs and didn''t argue. Instead, she pleaded with Kelvin, "Please, let me see him." "See him? You mean to torment him? Get out now!" Kisa was chased all the way to the courtyard entrance by Kelvin when suddenly, Sara''s voice echoed from a second-floor window. "Let here up." Kisa furrowed her brow, surprised to find that Sara was there too. In the room, Gilbert sat emotionless in a chair, his eyes devoid of any warmth or vitality. Sara was the first to approach Kisa. "Kisa, I''m so d you''re okay.It''s hard to believe that you survived such a dangerous explosion." Kisa responded sarcastically, "Well, you survived too." Sara suddenly became somber. "Yes, we all did, but sadly not Gilbert''s grandma.I wish it had been me who died instead so she could have been okay." The woman''s pretense disgusted Kisa. Just as she was about to make a sarcasticment, Gilbert spoke up. "You can leave us alone for now." He was addressing Sara, who obediently nodded and closed the door behind her as she left. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Gilbert stood up and slowly walked toward Kisa. "What do you want to say to me?" Kisa found herself speechless as she faced his cold expression.He suddenly let out a bitterugh, full of sorrow. "My parents are dead.My grandmother is gone.All the people I loved most are no longer here." Kisa subconsciously clenched her hand, her heart aching. "I''m sorry," she choked. "If I had known that my presence would lead to your parents¡¯ deaths, I would have¡ª" "What would you have done?" Gilbert sneered. "Even if you had known, what could you change? It''s not your fault; it''s fate, an ident.But I still hate you.Everything happened because of you." Hisst words were filled with more hatred than ever before.Kisa sobbed, covering her mouth. This was the most despairing aspect of her situation: the cruel, unchangeable truth. "And what about Grandma? If you hadn''t teamed up with David against me, if you hadn''t betrayed her hiding ce to him, how could she have died?" "No.Not like that." Although she couldn''tpletely escape responsibility for Madalyn''s death, the main cause was Sara. "I didn''t betray her hiding ce.It was Sara who was conspiring with David all along, along with your uncle.Even in the warehouse, she knew about the small door in the back, but when I led your grandma there, she locked it from the outside.Sara is the one who truly killed her." Gilbert closed his eyes and shook his head, his face filled with disgust and contempt. "Even now, you still want to frame others.Can''t you survive without doing that?" "I''m not," Kisa argued, desperate to defend herself against the usation about Madalyn''s death. ¡®But what good would it do? He wouldn''t believe me.And even if he does, how will it change anything? He could never get past the deaths of his parents" she thought. As she gazed upon the cold, hate-filled expression on Gilbert''s face, her heart ached so intensely that it felt as if she were suffocating. Struggling to hold back her tears, she asked, "Is there truly no hope for us, for the rest of our lives?" Chapter 1531 Chapter 1531 Chapter 1531 Gilbert averted his gaze, unwilling to look at her or respond to her question. His cold, sorrowful expression already provided the answer she dreaded. Trembling, she tried to steady her breath and said, "Hate me all you want, but be cautious of Sara; she''s not who you think she is." "Get out!" he barked. Kisa''s eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at him, only to find coldness and rejection in his expression. Holding back a sob, she turned and walked toward the exit. Kelvin waited for her downstairs and, without a shred of courtesy, flung the door open. " Get out." All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Kisa slowly approached him. ''"C-Can I stay here?" "Don''t even think about it. Just get out," Kelvin retorted. Kisa hung her head but didn''t move. Just as Kelvin was about to lose his patience, Kisa suddenly weakened and crumpled to the floor. When she came to, it was Sara standing beside her. "You''re awake?" Sara''s expression was smug, aplete departure from her usual gentle demeanor. "Kelvin told me you wanted to stay here," she taunted, feigning pity. "You know what? Even after you fainted, Gilbert despised you so much he nearly had you carried out. It was only because I begged him to let you stay. You''re truly pitiful. You''re carrying his child, yet he doesn''t show an ounce of compassion. It just goes to show how much he loathes you." Kisa kept her eyes down, not responding to Sara''s provocations. Bored, Sara scoffed and left the room. Kisa stared at the ceiling, her vision gradually blurring. Yes, Gilbert hase to despise me to the extreme. How can I salvage our rtionship? Should I let go or... try again?¡¯ In the study, Kelvin hesitated for a long time before finally addressing the man shrouded in shadows. "Let her stay. The baby''s heartbeat is unstable. Kicking her out could causeplications." Gilbert remained silent, eyes downcast, his entire being emitting suppressed sorrow. Kelvin sighed softly. At any rate, let her give birth to the child, then we can decide." The door closed gently, and the room was once again enveloped in silence. "Mom, I want to go with you to see my sister." "It was because of her that your parents died. She should not even exist." "Gilbert, I did all this for you. Promise me you''ll never be with her in this life, alright?" Those words echoed in his mind. Gilbert slowly hunched over, burying his face in his hands. Hot tears streamed through his fingers, bearing the crushing burden of his unspoken grief and sorrow. "You''re up." The following day, as Gilbert descended the stairs, Kisa greeted him with a bright smile. I made your favorite tarts. Come and have a taste," she said, taking his hand and leading him to the dining table. She knew she couldn''t make up for the loss of his parents and grandmother, but she would do her best to please him. But he coldly shrugged off her hand, his tone icy and biting. "I''ve lost everything now. Why do you still pretend to care? Do you think I''m not miserable enough? Do you want my life too?" Kisa shook her head, "Please don''t be like this." "Yeah, Gilbert, don''t say that," Sara interjected, masking her true nature with feigned kindness. ''''Kisa realizes her mistakes, and we can''t bring the dead back Please, find it in your heart to forgive her. Besides, she never wanted your parents to die. If you have to me someone, me her mother for loving your father too intensely. In that critical moment, he was all she could think about, otherwise..." "Enough!" Gilbert roared. Chapter 1532 Chapter 1532 Chapter 1532 Sara''s words were like a match igniting the mes of anger within Kisa, who could not help but snarl at her. But Sara feigned a frightened and pitiful look, acting remorseful. "Kisa, you''re still pregnant. Don''t get angry; it''s not good for the baby. If I said something wrong, just tell me, and I will apologize." Kisa clenched her hand at her side, taking deep breaths and desperately reminding herself not to lose control. Sara was deliberately putting on an act in front of Gilbert, and if Kisa lost her cool, she would be painted as the irrational viin. With forced calm, Kisa said, "You didn''t say anything wrong." "Kisa, don''t be like that," Sara suddenly grabbed her arm, feigning a gentle and kind demeanor. "We all know each other well. If I said something wrong, just tell me. Don''t keep your frustrations bottled up; it''s really not good for the baby." Kisa closed her eyes, struggling to maintain herposure as her anger simmered beneath the surface. Gilbert didn''t look at her and walked directly toward Kelvin. Sara smirked and, with feigned surprise, said, "Oh, Kisa, I didn''t expect that your mom actually had feelings for Gilbert''s dad. I heard she and Gilbert''s mom were even best friends back then. It seems your mother was quite decent; though she liked him, she never tried to steal her best friend''s man. Unlike now, when many so-called best friends secretly seduce each other''s partners. "But, on another note, why didn''t your mom call Gilbert''s mom during the crisis but called his dad instead? Luckily, their friendship was strong, or else Gilbert''s mom might have misunderstood and let suspicion ruin everything." "Enough already!" Kisa had been biting her tongue, but after those stinging words, she could not take it anymore. With a burst of anger, she shoved Sara away. ¡®How wicked this woman is, insinuating that my mom tried to seduce Gilbert''s dad!'' But Sara''s cunning knew no bounds, using the momentum from the shove to stumble back dramatically and crash into a table, falling to the ground as if she were the victim. ¡®What a performance!¡¯ Kisa, a pregnant woman, could not have had the strength to push her down like that. But she did not bother exining; she despised Sara so much she wanted to rip her apart. Unable to contain her emotions any longer, Kisa snatched an ornament from a nearby cab and hurled it at Sara. In that instant, she wanted the wretched woman dead. It''s all because of her that Gilbert''s grandmother has died, and it''s because of her that my rtionship with Gilbert has reached a breaking point!'' Kisa was consumed with hatred. But the ornament did not hit Sara; instead, it struck Gilbert, who had stepped in front of her. His eyes were cold and menacing as he red at Kisa. In an icy, low growl, he spat, "Get out!" Kisa looked at him, her heart aching from his frigid demeanor and harsh words. In a sudden outburst, she bean pointed at Sara behind him and screamed hysterically, "She is the true viin! She is the one behind your grandma''s death! She manipted Carolyn and Christopher! She locked the warehouse door! It''s all her fault!" "Enough, Kisa." Kelvin interjected, ring at her in disgust. "Sara risked her life to save Gilbert, and her wounds still haven''t healed. Don''t you see how absurd it is to use her like this?" "It''s impossible! She fled early. How could she be injured?" In that moment, Kisa''s mind was consumed by grief, anger, and hatred. Desperate to expose Sara''s false facade of kindness, she lunged toward her, frantically searching for any signs of injury on Sara''s body.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Chapter 1533 Chapter 1533 Chapter 1533 But, when Kisa touched Sara''s back, her hand came away slick with blood. It was real. "It is all fake! This has to be her ploy, ying the victim. It must be¡ª" Kisa''s words were abruptly cut off as a strong hand violently gripped her jaw. Gilbert''s eyes seethed with menace as he snarled, "I told you, get out!" Suddenly, it felt as if something shattered into a million pieces, the fragments echoing with intensity. A suffocating pain radiated from her heart, engulfing her entire body. Kisa''s vision blurred, but she stood defiantly straight, refusing to copse. Gilbert, without sparing her a nce, coldly shoved her away. She staggered back, leaning against a cab, her voice filled with despair. "Fine... I''ll go." She turned and walked toward the door, her heart bleeding with every agonizing step. The room seemed to plunge into darkness, yet she did not falter, finally making her way through the door. Kelvin looked anxious. "Gilbert, maybe you should bring her back. After all, she''s pregnant." Shaking his head, Gilbert leaned against the table, his voice hoarse and heavy. "I don''t know how to face her anymore." The death of his parents and grandmother was an insurmountable obstacle. If they were together, the pain would only intensify. Sara''s eyes shifted, and she resumed her facade of innocence. "Gilbert, don''t be like this. Kisa¡ª" But before she could finish, Gilbert''s dark, foreboding gaze silenced her. "You deliberately brought up her mom, didn''t you?" "Gilbert, I" "I know what you''re thinking. Once you''ve recovered, you should leave." "No, Gilbert, listen to me. Gilbert..." As she helplessly watched Gilbert walk upstairs, her eyes shed with a vtile mix of jealousy and hatred. ¡®after everything, he still loves that despicable woman!'' Kisa awoke from her nightmare, staring nkly at the dim ceiling. Suddenly, she began to sob uncontrobly, her cries filled with unbearable pain and sorrow. Suddenly, a shadowy figure approached. She nced at the person, a sarcastic smile slowly forming on her lips. "Jensen. It''s been a while." Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Gone was the warmth in Jensen''s eyes, reced by ayer of icy indifference. With his hands in his pockets, he stood by the bed and spoke in a cool, detached tone. "You copsed in the street; it was dangerous. From now on, you will stay here, and I''ll take care of you." "Why the pretense?" Kisa turned her head away, unwilling to engage in conversation or even look at him. Jensen''s eyes darkened, and after a long, tense silence, he turned and left without a word. Not long after he left, the door was abruptly pushed open bean again. Kisay on her side in bed, unresponsive, not wanting to interact with anyone at the moment. "Mommy..." An achingly familiar voice, tinged with apprehension, reached her ears. Her heart clenched as she quickly turned around to see ke standing by the bed, his eyes brimming with unshed tears. "ke?" Kisa stared at him, shocked.The boy''s lips quivered, and he finally could not hold back any longer. He flung himself into her embrace and sobbed. "Mommy..." Kisa, holding him in a daze, asked, "What did you call me?" "Mommy, you''re my mommy. I heard Dad and Mom say it, you''re my mommy. I never want to be separated from you again." Kisa¡®s heart pounded as she trembled, tenderly caressing his head. It seemed that ke was the child who had supposedly ''died'' years ago. In reality, he had not died; Jensen had been raising him all along. ke revealed that Andrew and Ada were with Davian, andhe had willingly returned to his foster father''s side. Chapter 1534 Chapter 1534 Chapter 1534 Upon hearing that his godfather intended to capture his mother, he swore to remain by his side, poised to rescue his mother at a moment''s notice. He acknowledged that his godfather had transformed, morphing into a darker, more terrifying figure, but he was steadfast in his mission to protect his mother. As ke''s passionate words filled the air, Kisa''s heartache began to subside, reced by a sense of comfort. Throughout her life, Kisa had faced immense pain and adversity, but she drew strength from the fact that her three children were still alive ¡ª a reality she had once deemed unimaginable. Springtime breathed new life into the world, yet amidst the thriving green courtyard, David sat, a hollow shell of aman, confined to a wheelchair. Jensen diligently attended to David, preparing a basin of warm water. He wrung out a towel, tenderly grasped David''s hand, and meticulously wiped it clean. Kisa observed the poignant scene from a distance, her heart heavy with conflicting emotions. Despite David''s wickedness, he had ultimately been the one to save her life. Mia let out a weary sigh. "Though David is paralyzed, he can still hear. Jensen tends to his needs every day, bathing him and ensuring his well-being. It''s difficult to determine whether Jensen hates him. When David was in peril, Jensen desperately sought the best surgeons in the city to save him. Yet, if Jensen loves him, why does he utter such bitter words to him daily? At the end of the day, David is his father - hatred seems impossible, but true love and respect remain out of reach," she said. Kisa''s lips pressed together, a whirlwind of thoughts swirling in her mind, as she struggled to find the right words to say. Mia cast a nce at her and let out a heavy sigh. "Jensen has always dwelled in darkness, yearning for the light and pursuing it relentlessly, until that tragic ident. The ident was meticulously engineered by David, who harbored for his son''s destruction. In the years Jensen was banished overseas, he withstood unspeakable torment ¡ª all secretly inflicted by his own father, pulling strings from the shadows. His ultimate goal: to ignite an all-consuming hatred for the Kooper family within Jensen''s heart. When Jensen uncovered these unbearable truths, he spiraled into self-destruction, allowing his soul to fester in the abyss. He''s a pitiful man, yet he seems to have no chance at redemption." Kisa''s eyes dropped. "Why are you telling me all this?¡± Mia smirked. "I merely wanted you to feel some sympathy for him. It is your own choice whether to pity him. But remember, when the prison fire erupted, he risked everything to save you. And it was his unwavering resolve that rescued ke as well. In essence, you owe him two lives." With that, Mia departed from the Kooper residence. She had confided in Kisa, hoping she could redeem Jensen. But perhaps her expectations were too high. If Kisa could not salvage her own soul, no way she could save someone else. The chilly night air enveloped them like a shroud. Jensen sat in the courtyard, chain-smoking in quiet desperation, while David sat beside him, swaddled in a thick nket. The air was still,ced with a palpable sense of sorrow. Kisa strode over and shot a nce at the guards by the entrance, challenging them. "How long do you n on holding me here?" Jensen raised his eyes to the inky sky, a faint smile crossing his lips. "Can''t you just stay here, by my side?¡± "No." Kisa retorted, without a moment''s hesitation. Jensen''s gaze dropped, a wry chuckle escaping him as he fell silent. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . The smoke from his cigarette swirled around his wrist and wafted across his face, conjuring an air of loneliness and despair. Kisa exhaled and settled down beside him. "I want to take ke away from here, to start anew in a serene ce." "What about Gilbert?" "It is impossible. Gilbert and I can never be together again." Jensen scoffed bitterly. "Even when there is no chance with him, you still won''t stay by my side." Kisa peered into the boundless night sky, her lips sealed, her thoughts a whirlwind. Chapter 1535 Chapter 1535 Chapter 1535 She cherished the memories of their carefree childhood, when the three of them were inseparable. On balmy summer nights, they would gather in the courtyard, sipping drinks and ying games. Jensen would assist her with her homework, and she would engage in yful banter with Gilbert. Those days were simple, yet full of joy. But now, everything had changed, and nothing was the same. Fighting back tears, she tilted her head up, gazing at the night sky. She yearned to return to those days, but she knew it was an impossible dream. Jensen tapped the ash from his cigarette and suddenly asked, "Do you know why I imed this mansion?" Kisa stayed quiet. He smiled. "This house carries the weight of Grandma''s adoration for Gilbert, and my father''s efforts to win Peter''s favor.I was envious, so I took it for myself." "But Gilbert and Peter don''t care about this house, or any of the Kooper family''s fortune." Jensenughed bitterly. ''''You''re right, they don''t care.Yet the two people I cherished most fought tirelessly for them, leaving me as nothing more than a despised pawn.From childhood, David dered I was a disgrace, an abomination that should never have existed.But did he ever consider that if given the choice, I wouldn''t have wanted to be born into this world?" In the cold light, unshed tears shimmered in David''s eyes as he sat motionless in his wheelchair. Kisa nced down at her swelling belly. "Every mother wishes for her child to be born safely.So even though we''ve faced the scorn of other family members, at least at the moment of our birth, we were anticipated and cherished by our mothers." Jensen managed a strained smile. "You probably don''t know, but my mother gave birth to me solely to control David.No one anticipated my arrival.In her eyes, I was merely a pawn, a way to secure her marriage to David.She overestimated my significance and underestimated David''s love for your mother.For a long time, I loathed your mother, thinking she was a repulsive homewrecker.But eventually, I learned the truth..." Beneath the dim light, Kisa saw the overwhelming sadness in Jensen''s eyes. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. "I was just a product of my mother''s maniption of David.She took advantage of him while he was intoxicated, resulting in my conception.At that time, your mother had just epted David''s deration of love.So, David asked my mother to terminate the pregnancy, but she secretly gave birth to me anyway.My existence barred David from marrying your mother openly, fearing she would discover the truth about me and my mother.He sent your mother to the countryside during her pregnancy with Peter.He thought he could handle my mother during that time, but he never expected to be outyed by our grandma and forced out of Calthon. As a result, he despised me, my mother, and our grandma, ming us for keeping him away from your mother. But in truth, it was us who stood in their way. I no longer resent your mother; after all, it was my mother who was the pitiful homewrecker, and I should never have existed." Kisa wanted to offerforting words, but she felt powerless. The animosity and grievances of the previous generation were now their burden to bear. They carried so much, yet there was nothing they could do. She stood up and sighed. "Don''t dwell on it.Let''s get some rest." But suddenly, Jensen enveloped her in a tight embrace from behind. Chapter 1536 Chapter 1536 Chapter 1536 "I seized this mansion and the Kooper family''s fortune out of bitter envy, but you''re different.You''ve been my hidden obsession since we were young." Desperate, he begged, "Stay with me, won''t you?" He grasped her like a drowning man clinging to a lifeline. Overwhelmed with sadness, Kisa closed her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she gently pried his hand away. "I''m sorry." As she retreated inside, Jensenughed bitterly. Turning to David, paralyzed in his wheelchair, he taunted. "See? In the end, it''s just us two pathetic souls left.Emilia loved Damon, and now she loves Gilbert.We are nothing.Nothing at all." Tears streamed down David''s face as he stared at Jensen. It was unclear if they were tears of sadness or regret. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. After searching the mansion for two days, Kisa found her mother''s diary. Jensen had hidden it, likely to prevent David from discovering her mother''s true feelings. But Kisa believed David deserved to know her mother had loved him until her dying breath. One beautiful day, when David sat outside, soaking up the sun, Kisa approached him, clutching her mother''s diary and a photo album. "If I had known it was you, David, I would''ve talked about my mom sooner," Kisa said, waving the items. "Look, I found her diary and this photo album." Unable to move or speak, David''s eyes remained locked on the items in her grasp. Sensing his eagerness to learn about her mother, she sat beside him,ying the photo album on his lap. "Here are pictures of you and my mom, and Gilbert''s parents.Look, you all seemed so happy back then." As she spoke, she slowly flipped through the album. Suddenly, a hot, wet tear fell onto her hand. ncing up, she saw David''s tear- streaked face. His trembling lips betrayed his desire to speak. Finally, he whispered a name: Emilia¡ªKisa''s mother. He must have loved her deeply. Kisa decided he needed to know her mother''s true feelings, so she spread the diary across hisp, turning each page with care. Upon reaching thest page, filled with her mother''s despair and helplessness, David burst into tears. His sobs caught Jensen and the servants¡¯ attention. Jensen eyed the diary in Kisa''s hands and instantly understood. Smirking, he said, "Only matters concerning that woman can affect him like this." The diary''s revtions unlocked David''s voice. But he spoke to no one, simply murmuring Emilia''s name repeatedly. That night, a servant found David''s room empty. The entire mansion lit up as Jensen and the servants frantically searched. Kisa discovered David on the rooftop, still in his wheelchair. The wind whipped around them, chilling the air. David gazed at the dark sky, lost in thought. Kisa approached and gripped the wheelchair''s handles. "It''s cold up here; let''s go downstairs." She did not know how David had reached the rooftop and did not question it. Unexpectedly, David patted her hand. "Kisa, sit down and talk with me for a while." Chapter 1537 Chapter 1537 Chapter 1537 Kisa''s lips pressed together as she sat down beside David. He held the photo album and his mother''s diary tenderly in his arms, then said, "Regardless of what others may say about your mother, she was the most incredible woman this world has ever known." Hearing him praise her mother so passionately, Kisa''s heart swelled with gratitude. In truth, neither of them had ever truly let the other down; it was a series of misunderstandings and unfortunate events that had kept them apart. A lifetime of missed connections.He shared his memories of Emilia, reminiscing about their idyllic days in the countryside awaiting the birth of their child. When Peter was born, he embodied their love and hope for the future. But, to support Emilia''s acting career, David had reluctantly left Peter in the care of a friend. His n had been to marry Emilia and reunite their family once everything was settled. But fate had other ns, and a series of heartbreaking events unfolded. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. He was forcibly expelled from Calthon, followed by the scandalous rumors of Emilia''s affair with Christopher. Believing Emilia had betrayed him, he left with Peter, his heart filled with bitterness, causing them to lose each other forever. Kisa listened intently to his poignant recollections, her heart aching with sadness and regret. ''If only he had confronted my mom directly, or even brought her away without a second thought, their love story might have had a different ending" The frantic sounds of servants searching for him echoed from the courtyard below. Kisa whispered, "The past is gone now.You and my mother shared a profound love, and neither of you ever truly failed the other.If she were still alive, I''m certain she wouldn''t hold a grudge against you." He nodded in agreement. "Yes, she was so extraordinary.How could she ever hold a grudge against me?" The wind intensified, mingling with the desperate shouts of the servants. Kisa urged, "We should head down." David shook his head. "I would like to stay here a bit longer.Could you fetch me a ss of water? I''m parched." "Of course." As Kisa went downstairs to get water for David, she encountered a servant. She halted them, instructing, "Tell Jensen to stop the search.He is on the rooftop." Upon her return to the rooftop, she found the wheelchair ominously empty. Panic gripped her heart as she scanned the area, spotting a figure standing precariously at the edge of the roof. "No!" she screamed, racing toward him. But it was toote. She watched in horror as David plummeted like a fallen leaf,nding directly in front of Jensen below. He mechanically raised his eyes toward her, a deste and mournful look in his gaze. David was gone, his life ended in a resolute and final act. Yet, it seemed as though he had found a sense of release in hisst moments. A faint smile graced his lips as he passed. The diary and photo album were left behind on the wheelchair, a note tucked beneath them, written for Kisa. (After I''m gone, pleasey me to rest beside your mother.) Upon reading the note, she wept, her heart weighed down by an indescribable sorrow. Even though David had made many mistakes, she found herself unable to hate him. On the day of the funeral, rain fell relentlessly, casting a somber shadow over the entire cemetery. Jensen, however, chose not to bury David beside Emilia. He imed it was David''s punishment. ¡®It doesn''t matter.What purpose does it serve to bury two people together in death if they couldn''t be together in life?" David''s passing remained a secret, with only Kisa and Jensen in attendance at the funeral. Jensen stood stoically before the gravestone, not shedding a tear or uttering a word, his tall, slender silhouette exuding a profound sadness. Peter arrived at the gravesite as dusk fell, still nursing injuries that caused him to limp with every step.He approached David''s grave and stared at the photograph affixed to the headstone¡ªa face entirely foreign to him. Chapter 1538 Chapter 1538 Chapter 1538 Peter tried to call him ''Dad'' but could not find the words.Instead, he resorted to ''Uncle Adrien¡¯. David had been caring and loving toward him since he was just ¡®Uncle Adrien¡¯. And he knew that David''s acquisition of the Kooper family fortune had been all for him.So, he alone embraced David''s tombstone, weeping like an abandoned child. Jensen observed him, his eyes void of emotion. He did not shed a single tear throughout the entire funeral. After the service, Peter attempted to take Kisa with him, but Jensen intervened. Peter''s anger erupted, and he shouted at Jensen, "What the hell do you want? You drove our dad to his grave.Do you want her to meet the same fate?" Jensen remained silent, instead instructing his bodyguards to escort Kisa back to the Kooper residence. As they left, Kisa saw Jensen depart with Peter, though she had no clue where they were headed. Worried for Peter, she called him repeatedly after returning to the Kooper residence, but no one answered.She tried Jensen too, but with the same result. Anxiously, she waited until she heard a car arriving at midnight. Rushing downstairs, she found Jensen stumbling in, reeking of booze. "Where is Peter?" she demanded, her voice shaking. Jensen red at her and suddenlyughed. "Why is it that everyone only cares about him?" "He is my brother!" "But he is mine too.Do you really think I would hurt him?" Jensen staggered toward her, his face flushed from alcohol. Kisa retreated, frightened. "It''ste.I''m going to bed." As she turned to leave, Jensen grasped her wrist, yanking her into his embrace. "I''ve lost everything..." His voice was heavy, his eyes brimming with sorrow. "Even my deadbeat dad is gone.Is this my punishment? Am I destined to be left alone in this world?" "Stop it, Jensen.Let me go." Jensen held her tightly, causing her stomach to ache. Fearing for the baby, she struggled fiercely. Her resistance only fueled his fear of losing her. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Desperate to keep her close, he clung to her, as if attempting to merge her into his very being. Kisa, terrified, screamed for help. "Let go of my mom!" In that instant, ke charged down the stairs, furiously pounding on Jensen. "Let go of my mom, Dad! You''re hurting her!" But Jensen had lost control. With a swift motion, he sent ke flying. Kisa screamed, wrenching herself free from Jensen''s grip. But as she lunged toward ke, she was yanked back with brute force. In the struggle, she tripped and fell, her abdomen mming into a nearby coffee table. A sharp, searing pain surged through her belly, and she felt something wet seeping out. "Mommy!" Her eyes widened in terror, apanied by ke''s anguished cries. Jensen stared nkly at the blood pooling between her legs. In that moment, his world turned gray, never to see brightness again. The ambnce arrived swiftly. Cradling her bloodied body, Jensen sobbed like a lost child. "I''m sorry.I''m so sorry..." Kisa clung to his shirt, tears streaming down her face as she called out for Gilbert, over and over. As she was rushed into the emergency room, he frantically pulled out his phone and dialed Gilbert''s number. Chapter 1539 Chapter 1539 Chapter 1539 Jensen¡¯s hands were drenched in blood, shaking uncontrobly as he fumbled to dial the number. ¡°Fairmont Medical Center¡­ You need to see her now.¡± When Gilbert arrived, he found Jensen hunched over, face buried in his blood-soaked hands. The sight was both shocking and terrifying. Gilbert rushed over, grabbed him by the cor, and demanded, ¡¯What the hell happened? I trusted you to take care of her! That¡¯s why I let her go. How could you let this happen?¡¯ Jensen looked up at him, his crimson eyes filled with a haunting emptiness. It was as if his soul had been swallowed by a rotting swamp, never to resurface. In the end, Gilbert could not bring himself to hit Jensen. He released him and approached the emergency room door. Staring at it, he felt suffocated and overwhelmed. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry. I won¡¯t yell at you or be cruel anymore. Just please, stay alive. You have to make it through this.¡± i He prayed silently, filled with regret for sending her away. He could not fathom life without her. The helplessness, uncertainty, and fear rose like a tide, slowly engulfing him, making it impossible to breathe. 2 After an agonizing wait, the doctor finally emerged, holding a basin filled with blood-tinged water. Inside it, a tiny fetus was barely visible. Gilbert could not bear to look, turning his gaze to the doctor instead. His voice caught in his throat, too afraid to ask anything. In that moment, fear devoured himpletely. 1 It was the doctor who broke the silence. ¡°We did everything we could, but we couldn¡¯t save the child. It is such a tragedy, considering how far along the pregnancy was.¡± Gilbert¡¯s body swayed slightly as he asked in a strained voice, ¡¯And the mother?¡± ¡°She is clinging to life, but she¡¯s extremely weak.¡± He slumped against the wall, cold sweat drenching his clothes. He murmured, ¡°As long as she is okay¡­ as long as she is still alive.¡± Kisa had lost her child, and it was as if the life had been drained from her too. She remained in the hospital for a month, with Gilbert visiting her daily. But the two of them barely spoke a word. After ensuring she was no longer in mortal danger, Jensen left, putting Calthon behind him. Before departing, he returned everything that belonged to the Kooper family to Gilbert. 1 On the day Kisa was discharged from the hospital, Gilbert worried that returning to the Kooper residence would trigger painful memories. So, he took her to the apartment she had once lived in. Hoping to lift her spirits, he brought Andrew, Ada, and ke along. In an attempt to create a cozy, harmonious atmosphere, he had the children keep herpany while he busied himself in the kitchen. However, too many unresolved issuesy between them, and the superficial warmth could notst. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. That night, she stared nkly at the neon lights outside the window, lost in thought. She recalled moving into this apartment, initially plotting her revenge against Gilbert. Time had passed, and in retrospect, she realized she was the true viin. Gilbert wrapped his arms around her from behind, holding her tightly. He whispered into her ear, ¡°Let¡¯s start anew.¡± Kisa remained silent, her face devoid of expression. After a long pause, she finally spoke, her voice hoarse and bitter. ¡°Start anew? Can you ever forget the deaths of your parents and grandma?¡± The hands around her waist ckened. She lowered her gaze, her broken heart still throbbing with pain. Even if Gilbert never mentioned it, she knew the deaths of his parents represented a hurdle he could not surmount. Even if they genuinely started over, that obstacle would resurface time and again, causing both of them pain. It was a cruel, immutable fact, and no matter how hard she tried, it would be futile. In his eyes, she was a sinner, a sinner who should not exist. They could never return to what they once were; they had reached the point of no return. Since being together was destined to be painful, it was best to set each other free. Gazing into the distant horizon, exhaustion weighing heavily on her, she said, ¡¯We should go our separate ways.¡± 1 Chapter 1540 Chapter 1540 Chapter 1540 ¡®Maybe separating is the best resolution for us,¡¯ Kisa thought. Gilbert did not reply. Instead, he tightened his embrace, pulling her closer, showing her that he did not want to part ways, not even at the cost of his life. Kisa lowered her gaze, overwhelmed by mncholy, and remained silent. The next morning, she awoke to the sound of lightheartedughter and the bustling activity in the kitchen. She gazed nkly at the ceiling, her heart stirring faintly. ¡®How long has it been? How long since Ist heard such carefreeughter? How long since Ist experienced this simple,forting sense of home?¡¯ Slowly sitting up, she pushed herself off the bed. Since losing the baby, her weight had dropped dramatically, her 5¡¯5¡å frame scarcely weighing over 100 pounds. Her face was pale, and her emaciated body exuded a fragile frailty. As she stared into the mirror, there was a knock at the door. A small head peeked in. It was Ada. ¡® Mommy, can Ie in?¡± Kisa smiled at her. ¡°Of course, sweetheart.¡± Ada¡¯s eyes sparkled as she rushed in, throwing her arms around Kisa.¡± Mommy, I¡¯ve missed hugging you. Please don¡¯t leave me and Andrew again. Can we be together as a family forever?¡± Kisa¡¯s smile wavered. She gently stroked Ada¡¯s head, unable to find the right words. With so many unresolved issues between her and Gilbert, she could not provide the child with a definite answer. Gilbert had prepared an enticing breakfast, featuring her all-time favorite egg sandwich. With consideration, he pushed the sandwich and milk toward her. ¡°Finish up, then let¡¯s take the kids to school together.¡± His main goal was to get her out of the house since she had not ventured out since returning from the hospital. Kisa was inclined to refuse, findingfort in the quiet solitude of her room. But before she could speak up, the three children gazed at her with hopeful eyes. Kisa hesitated, her lips pressed together, then finally nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± Relief washed over Gilbert, as his hand discreetly reached over to hold hers. He was giving his all to salvage their rtionship, fearing she would be distant and withdraw into herself. 1 This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. During the morning rush, the streets were bustling with activity. Kisa leaned against the car window, lost in thought as she observed the passing scenery. There appeared to be a high school nearby, with clusters of students strolling along the streets. The city had transformed significantly over time; old streets were revitalized, and towering skyscrapers dominated the skyline. She recalled her days with Gilbert and Jensen, racing to school in their uniforms, ying and chasing one another. Back then, Gilbert imed to dislike her, but he always brought an extra serving of breakfast just for her. Jensen, known as the top student, would always lend a helping hand with her homework whenever she struggled or could not finish. He would gaze at her with adoring eyes, much like an older brother. Remembering those happier times left a bittersweet feeling in her heart. Now, not only was their romantic rtionship damaged beyond repair, but the innocent friendships of their youth had vanished forever. The loss of their child had made her more vulnerable and emotional. Taking a small breath, she tried to alleviate the sadness engulfing her. Turning away, she closed her eyes, attempting to push away her thoughts. The morning traffic jam took half an hour to clear before they finally arrived at the school. Seeing that Kisa had drifted off to sleep, Gilbert chose not to wake her; instead, he quietly instructed the children to exit the car. As they left, ke looked at him anxiously. ¡°Daddy, what¡¯s wrong with Mommy?¡± Gilbert tenderly touched his face. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everything will be alright. It¡¯ll all get better.¡± As he watched the three children safely enter the school grounds, he finally turned his gaze away. Silently observing Kisa¡¯s pale, thin face, his eyes flickered with a mix of concern andplexity. He slowly raised his hand, intending to caress her face. But as his fingers were about to make contact, they dropped back down in defeat. ¡®She must hate me too, right?¡¯ Chapter 1541 Chapter 1541 Chapter 1541 That fateful day, if he had not pushed her away for Sara¡¯s sake, the child growing inside her might have been born safely. The memory of the unborn child caused a mist to form in the corners of his eyes. The truth was, he had driven her away not because of Sara, but because he could not bear to face her. After discovering the horrific truth about his parents¡¯ untimely death, he was haunted by vivid images of the ident. He knew he should not me her, and he did not. But as she had once said, it was like a persistent thorn lodged in his heart, impossible to remove. He felt the need to step back, to give himself time to extract that painful thorn. Yet, he could not bring himself to let her go. He knew deep down that he could not live without her. So, he fought desperately to hold onto her, gripping her tightly. Even if it meant both of them would end up in anguish, he could not bear to let go of her. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. He leaned back in his chair, lost in thought for a long while before finally starting the car again. Kisa slept deeply; her dreams filled with a heavy silence. When she woke up, she was momentarily disoriented, staring nkly at the clouds for what felt like an eternity before realizing she was in a car. The driver¡¯s seat was empty, and the back seat was equally vacant. Her heart raced as she sat up straight, scanning the scenery outside. To her amazement, she was greeted by a breathtaking sea of flowers. It was April, and the flowers were in full, vibrant bloom. Gilbert stood in the heart of the flower field, his gaze fixed on the horizon. As she slowly stepped out of the car, she recognized the field as the one Gilbert had tenderly nted for her before. She had not expected the sea of flowers to still be there, only now with a different variety of blossoms. She approached Gilbert, her voice soft. ¡°Did you drop the kids off at school? H ¡°Yep.¡± Gilbert nodded, turning to gently take her hand. She tried to resist his touch, but ultimately failed and decided to just give in. In the distance, a flower farmer diligently watered the nts, his movements both busy and fulfilled. Gilbert led her through the enchanting sea of flowers. ¡°You know, the world is still a truly beautiful ce.¡± Kisa let herself be guided by him. In the distance, majestic mountains and a river stood alongside sprawling fields. The soothing, delightful breeze of March and April enveloped them in a tender embrace. The trees and grass during this season were at their most vibrant and lush. Indeed, just as he had said, the world remained a beautiful ce, as long as they chose not to dwell on the heartaches of the past. Nestled in the center of the sea of flowers was a charming grass hut. Gilbert guided her inside, and she remained mostly silent, her aura tinged with mncholy. With a slight tremble in his voice, Gilbert suggested, ¡°Let¡¯s start over.¡± This time, without waiting for her refusal, he hurriedly continued. ¡°Please, let¡¯s at least try. I know you are worried about that thorn lodged in my heart, but you have to give me time. I believe that if we can ovee this hurdle, we will be just fine.¡¯ His eyes shimmered with hope and sincerity. Kisa averted her gaze, the storm of emotions inside her overwhelming. It was not that she did not trust him; it was just that her feelings for him had be a tangled web of guilt, love, and resentment. Sometimes, when people find themselves trapped in a dead-end, they do not know how to escape, just like how she did not know how to interact with him now. With tears threatening to spill, she forced a smile and whispered, ¡°To be honest, right now, when I look at you, I feel like a sinner.¡± Gilbert¡¯s heart plummeted. He realized that his efforts alone might not be enough. At that very moment, the flower farmer ambled over, a watering can strapped to his back. He was a kind-looking gentleman in his sixties. Gazing at them with warmth, he reminisced. ¡°Youth is truly wonderful. There are still so many things you can do, and even regrets can be mended. Seeing you two brings me back to my younger days. I, too, once invited the person I loved to admire the flowers. s, we ended up parting ways because of a misunderstanding. Now, when I think back, my heart aches with regret. A regret that can never be undone,¡± the flower farmer murmured to himself, offering them a bittersweet smile before strolling away. Kisa cast her eyes downward, the haunting word ¡®regret¡¯ echoing relentlessly in her mind. Chapter 1542 Chapter 1542 Chapter 1542 The most profound sorrowes from realizing you have reached an age where regrets can no longer be mended. Kisa stared at the bent silhouette of the flower farmer and, suddenly, it was as if a revtion dawned upon her. Turning to the man beside her, she whispered, ¡°Let¡¯s¡­ give it a try.¡± Gilbert shuddered, his eyes brimming with excitement. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s¡­ try to be together again.¡± In an instant, Gilbert pulled her into a fierce embrace. ¡°As long as you¡¯re willing to start over with me, I believe that everything will get better.¡± Kisa did not dwell on the future. As she gazed at the clouds on the horizon, she was struck by the vibrant, endless blue. It felt as if her world had suddenly burst into brilliant light. On their way back, Gilbert asked Davian to pick up the children and bring them to the Kooper residence. Meanwhile, he and Kisa discussed their uing vacation. He wanted to take her away, just the two of them, to clear their minds and find sce. He asked Kisa where she would like to go. She dreamily spoke of ces with mountains, water, and eternal spring. Gilbert¡¯s mind immediately leaped to a magical spot in the south. He said, ¡°I know of a quaint town in the south where it¡¯s like spring all year round. There are majestic mountains, crystal-clear waters, and ancient buildings. The streets and alleys are adorned with flowers, and the scenery is breathtaking. You will fall in love with it.¡± As Gilbert painted a vivid picture, Kisa could almost see the enchantingndscape. She nodded. ¡°Yes, let¡¯s go there.¡± This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°Alright, I will book the ne tickets as soon as we get back, and we will leave tomorrow.¡± ¡°Perfect.¡± Kisa¡¯s smile warmed him, and for the first time in days, her once lifeless eyes sparkled with a hint of hope. Gilbert gazed deeply into her eyes, his heart swelling with tenderness. He was certain they would ovee this, and together, they would find happiness. The moment the car arrived at the apartment building, Kisa¡¯s gentle smile evaporated. A fragile, slender figure stood at the entrance-it was Sara. She had lost a noticeable amount of weight and wore an ethereal white gown. The breeze flirted with the fabric, amplifying her delicate, waif-like appearance. Gilbert¡¯s brow creased, his expression growing somber. Clutching Kisa¡¯s hand, he reassured her in a hushed voice. ¡°There¡¯s nothing between Sara and me.¡± Kisa offered him an understanding smile and held her silence. His earnest exnation was enough to confirm his detachment from Sara. She decided not to reveal Sara¡¯s misdeeds, as without evidence, her words would have little impact. Gilbert stepped out of the car, guiding Kisa toward Sara. Unwavering, Sara¡¯s gaze locked on their entwined hands, her eyes welling up with tears, making her look heartbreakingly vulnerable. Seeing them return, Kelvin bolted out of the car. He cast a nce at their joined hands, his brow furrowing in disapproval, but he held his tongue. Despite his lingering resentment toward Kisa for Madalyn¡¯s death, he knew Gilbert was smitten. As long as Gilbert found happiness, nothing else truly mattered, He spared a sympathetic look for the distraught Sara before telling Gilbert.¡± Sara¡¯s been searching for you for days. She has been crying nonstop, pleading for me to bring her to you. I was worried that her relentless sorrow would take a toll on her health, especially with her injuries still healing, so I relented.¡± Gilbert¡¯s gaze fell upon Sara, his voice cool and detached. ¡°What brings you to me?¡± Sara bit her lip, staying mute. Her eyes, filled with unshed tears and a sense of injustice, remained fixed on Gilbert. Unable to suppress a softugh, Kisa addressed Gilbert. ¡°You two take your time to talk; I¡¯ll go on ahead upstairs.¡± Chapter 1543 Chapter 1543 Chapter 1543 As Kisa started to walk away, she was suddenly pulled back into ce. Gilbert firmly held her hand once again, addressing Sara. ¡°You were injured while saving me, so in a way, I owe you my life. Tell me what you want. If it¡¯s within my means. I¡¯ll give it to you.¡¯ Sara¡¯s voice caught in her throat, her expression growing even more heart wrenching. Tears streamed down her face as she asked him, ¡°Do you really believe I saved you just to receive something in return? After all these years, haven¡¯t you figured out how I feel about you?¡± ¡°Initially, you helped me. Later, to save you from trouble, I became your boyfriend in name only. You know very well that we never shared a deeper connection,¡± he recounted. Back in school, he had identally misced the birthday gift Kisa had given him. Sara found it, and to show his gratitude, he promised to do her a favor. Not long after, she asked him to be her boyfriend in name only, iming she was overwhelmed by her numerous admirers, which affected her studies. He had initially refused, but after overhearing Kisa and Jensen¡¯s conversation under a tree, he mistakenly believed Kisa had ulterior motives for trying to please him. In a fit of anger, he agreed to be Sara¡¯s nominal boyfriend. Time flew by, and he never imagined that Sara would still be fixated on that verbal agreement. When she disappeared years ago, he mistakenly thought it was Kisa¡¯s doing and was filled with guilt, which led him to search for Sara relentlessly. He did not harbor any romantic feelings for Sara, and this should have been rified long ago. 1 With a distant gaze, he looked at the woman before him. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a sum of money. Use it to live your life to the fullest.¡± ¡°No. I can¡¯t¡­¡± Sara sobbed, her voice cracking with heartache, ¡°I can¡¯t live without you. These past years have been a living hell for me, and I¡¯ve only clung to life to see you again. If I don¡¯t have you, what is the point of living?¡± Gilbert¡¯s face sank. He turned to Kelvin and said, ¡°Take her back home. Her injuries should heal soon. You don¡¯t have to go out of your way to treat her anymore. Focus on spending time with Gracie instead.¡± All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Kelvin nodded, then tugged at Sara. ¡¯Let¡¯s go. Gilbert married years ago, and even his children have already grown up. It¡¯s time for you to move on.¡± ¡°Enough! All of you are so happy now, except for me, just me¡­¡± Sara¡¯s voice trembled as she pointed at Kisa. ¡°She caused the death of so many people, even your loved ones. How can she still be happy? The death of your parents, your grandmother-¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Gilbert roared, his voice thundering with anger. He looked at Kisa¡¯s pale face, worry flickering in his eyes. When he turned to Sara, his gaze was sharp and icy. ¡°I¡¯m warning you, not another word.¡± ¡°Why not? It¡¯s all true.¡¯ Kisa spoke up, her voice shaky. ¡¯You two should talk this out. I¡­ I want to go upstairs.¡± She lowered her head, trying to pry her hand from Gilbert¡¯s tight grip. Seeing this, Kelvin quickly said, ¡°Yeah, I think you both need to have a serious talk. Kisa doesn¡¯t look too well. I will take her upstairs to check on her.¡± Gilbert stared intently at Kisa, watching her struggle to free her hand. He silently sighed, finally releasing her hand and whispered, ¡°Get some rest and don¡¯t overthink.¡± ¡°Okay,¡¯ Kisa mumbled in response, her head lowered as she walked toward the apartment. Kelvin hurriedly followed her. Chapter 1544 Chapter 1544 Chapter 1544 Kisa rushed into the elevator, her weakened body nearly causing her to stumble.Kelvin swiftly followed, catching her just in time. "When was thest time you ate? You can hardly stand!" Kisa leaned against the elevator wall for support, her silence unwavering. Observing her icy demeanor, Kelvin chuckled nervously and refrained from making any further jokes.He trailed her into the apartment, his eyes glued to her fragile figure, suddenly unsure of what to say.He hade to escape the tension downstairs and to warn this woman against hurting Gilbert''s heart anymore. But confronted by her cold and distant attitude, he could not muster any harsh words. Especially when his gaze fell on her t stomach, he was overwhelmed with pity for her. ''The baby was so close to being born ¡ª it''s heartbreaking" he thought. Upon entering, Kisa immediately sought refuge in her room, but Kelvin stubbornly blocked the door, preventing her from closing it. "Kisa, what''s with the sudden silence?" It was true; since losing the baby, she had seemed like an entirely different person.Kisa slowly met his gaze, her voice devoid of emotion as she asked, "What do you want me to say?" "No, I just thought we could chat for a while." "Has Gracie given birth?" Kelvin was caught off guard; she had immediately started chatting with him. Thinking of Gracie and the baby, his eyes instantly softened. "Yeah, she had a girl.Gilbert and I have already arranged a betrothal between our kids.We will see if it is Andrew or ke in the end¡ª" "The baby''s only a few months old, right? Shouldn''t you be going back to help Gracie take care of the child?" Kisa interjected, her face remaining expressionless. Kelvin''s expression shifted to one of dismay as hemented. "I would absolutely love to care for our baby ¡ª she''s irresistibly adorable and soft - but Gracie is fiercely protective of our little girl and won''t even let mey a finger on her.She says I''ve been spending too much time with Sara and doubts my devotion.Can you imagine? I''m only treating Sara because Gilbert asked me to, and if it weren''t for the fact that she saved Gilbert, I wouldn''t even bother with her.Wouldn''t it be wonderful to be constantly surrounded by my wife and child?" His eyes gleamed at the thought of Gracie and their baby. ¡®Their child is born into a world of happiness ¡ª how truly fortunate.Unlike my own unborn, pitiful baby" Kisa''s eyes darkened, and she turned away to sit in a wicker chair by the window, her silence engulfing her once more.Kelvin followed her, his gaze filled with puzzlement. "what''s bothering you now?" Kisa remained quiet. Losing patience, Kelvin put on a stern face and said, "I came up here to warn you not to wound Gilbert''s heart any further. The fact that he''s willing to overlook the deaths of his parents and grandmother for you is a testament to the depth of his love for you. Kisa''s eyes met his, devoid of emotion. "So, his heart must be tormented as well, particrly when he reflects on his parents'' tragic deaths." Furrowing his brow, Kelvin replied, ''''No, that''s not what I was trying to say¡ª" "I''m tormented too.When I face him, a relentless voice inside me uses me of being a sinner ¡ª an unforgivable sinner." Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Her eyes, which had momentarily regained some of their sparkle, gradually became lifeless once more.Growing increasingly uneasy, Kelvin felt as though he had unintentionally sabotaged Gilbert''s happiness.He hurriedly changed the subject. "Would you believe me even if I told you?" Kisa asked, her face still devoid of expression. Kelvin chuckled nervously, realizing their conversation had reached an impasse. Just then, the sound of urgent footsteps echoed from outside. Chapter 1545 Chapter 1545 Chapter 1545 "Kelvin! Kelvin!" A wave of paned Gilbert''s voice as it echoed through the room. With urgency, Kelvin sprang to his feet and rushed outside. "What happened? Why did she faint again?" "I don''t know.You need to examine her." Outside, the frantic voices of the two men filled the air.Kisa, hugging her knees, sat in a daze for a moment before slowly rising and making her way out. Sara had copsed, her slender frame sprawled on the couch.Her injuries peppered her lower back, arms, and shoulders. The numerous wounds covered a vast area. Months had passed since the explosion, yet her injuries stubbornly refused to heal.The festering wounds created a grotesque sight from afar. Seeing her wounds in this state for the first time, surprise flickered across Gilbert''s face, followed by a deep scowl. "Weren''t you treating her? Why¡ª" "I''m at aloss myself.These are superficial injuries, nothing I can''t handle.I''ve regrly provided her with ointments and reminded her to avoid water and rain..." His voice trailed off, struck by a sudden realization. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . "My God! I saw her standing in the rain the other day.She might have been purposely exposing herself to the elements and allowing her wounds to fester all this time, just to gain your sympathy.These wounds should have healed by now." Gilbert''s brow furrowed, and he stared at the woman on the couch in silence. Kelvin sighed. "She''s relentless.Regardless, she suffered these injuries saving you.You should seriously consider how to care for her." Visibly agitated, Gilbert yanked at his tie. As he turned, he noticed Kisa standing at the doorway, her face devoid of emotion as she stared their way.He strode over and sped her hand. "You know I have no feelings for her.I just owe her my life." ''No, you don''t owe her a thing.In fact, she has caused you harm on multiple asions" But Kisa kept these thoughts to herself. Without solid evidence, speaking ill of this woman would only backfire. With a calm resolve, she uttered, "Let her stay." Gilbert''s brow furrowed deeper, a clear sign of his internal struggle. Unable to bear the sight, Kisa gently reached out to smooth his furrowed brow. "Let her stay, if only to prevent her from using self-harm as a way to emotionally manipte you." "Yes, yes.Kisa has a valid point." Kelvin hastily agreed. "If Sara can''t see you, she might resort to self-harm.It''s better to keep her close.Once her wounds heal, you can have an honest conversation or even ask her to leave."Gilbert''s expression remained clouded with worry.His deep gaze locked onto Kisa. "You know, we were about to go on that trip." "It seems that''s no longer possible." Gilbert''s grip on her hand tightened suddenly. "But we just agreed "Let''s address her situation first." Kisa suggested, casting a nce toward the couch. Sensing he wanted to say more, she lowered her eyes. "I''m a bit exhausted.I want to sleep now." With that, she freed herself from his grasp, turned around, and closed the door. Inwardly, Gilbert clenched his fists at his sides. ¡®The spark in her eyes seems to have vanished once again.We''d just agreed, we were supposed to start anew.." He turned to Kelvin. "Did you say something to her?" Taken aback, Kelvin shook his head vigorously. "No, no.It''s gettingte, and I need to get back to Gracie.So Sara will stay here, and I''ll be going." With that, he made a hasty exit. After settling Sara, Gilbert sat in the living room, lost in thought for a long while before finally mustering the courage to approach Kisa''s bedroom door. Chapter 1546 Chapter 1546 Chapter 1546 Gilbert raised his hand to knock, then hesitated and lowered it, caught in a loop of uncertainty. After the third time, he steeled himself and knocked softly. Silence answered him. His eyes brimmed with a somber darkness, heavy with sorrow. "I know you''re not asleep yet; you just can''t bear to face me." At thiste hour, Kisay wide awake. Insomnia had be her frequentpanion, and he was all too aware of it. As the darkness in his eyes deepened, any lingering light vanished. A quiet, bitterugh escaped his lips, and he began to turn away. Just then, the door cracked open ever so slightly. Kisa concealed herself in the shadows, her heart aching with grief, confusion, and helplessness. Yet, redemption seemed out of reach. The night was eerily silent, their breaths the only sound echoing in the darkness. Gilbert wrapped her in a tender, protective embrace. Theyy entwined, bodies pressed close, yet it felt like an abyss separated them. She seemed to be walling herself off, leaving him stranded on the outside. However, during the daytime, her eyes sparkled with hope, filled with dreams of their uing journey and shared future. Circling his arm around her waist, he pulled her close, cherishing her presence. He gently kissed her earlobe and the nape of her neck, whispering softly, ''Kisa, please talk to me." Her silence sent shivers down his spine. Kisa''s gaze lingered on the curtains, dancing in the breeze, before she finally asked, "What should we talk about?" "Anything. I just need to hear your voice.¡± It was the only balm for his aching heart. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Kisa pondered for a moment, then said, "Kelvin and Gracie had a baby girl." Asmile warmed his face. "Yes, I''ve seen her. She''s a tiny, exquisite treasure named Natasha. I have even arranged a future marriage with Kelvin; he has watched Andrew grow, and ke is such a kind- hearted, wise child. He knows either would be the perfect son-in-w." Kisa''s brow creased with worry as she contemted a potentialplication. "What if, in the future, both Andrew and ke fall for Natasha?" Gilbert hesitated, taken aback. "The odds of that happening are so slim, right?" Kisa stayed silent, but Gilbert chuckled. "We live in an age of free love. Maybe by then, they''ll have already found their soulmates, rendering this arranged marriage irrelevant. Kisa''s expression softened. "Yes, who can truly predict what the future holds?" As their conversation flowed, the somber atmosphere dissipated. Gilbert''s hand gently grazed her t abdomen, and his eyes clouded with sorrow. "I''m so sorry," he whispered, his voice barely audible. Kisa clung to the edge of her clothing, understanding the reason for his heartfelt apology¡ªhe was mourning the child they had lost before it had a chance to enter the world. The memory of their unborn baby left a void in her heart. She lowered her gaze, her voice a fragile whisper. "It''s not your fault." She could not bring herself to me Jensen either. After all, Jensen had risked his life to save her and ke from a raging fire. If me was to be cast, it was on her. She owed so much to so many, and the life of that innocent child was the price she had to pay. "We will have our own children someday," Gilbert murmured, burying his face in the crook of her neck, his voiceden with emotion. Kisa could not help but fixate on the word ''someday.'' ¡®Will we truly have a future together?¡¯ she wondered. That night, despite being enveloped in his tender embrace, Kisa was haunted by insomnia. She knew he could not sleep either. As the night wore on, they bothy in silence. She finally drifted off at the break of dawn. The morning breeze, crisp and invigorating, was also enough to stir people from sleep. Gilbert rose to close the window. Hearing a faint rustle outside, his eyes darkened, and he strode out to find the source of the noise. Chapter 1547 Chapter 1547 Chapter 1547 A bustling silhouette reflected on the kitchen''s ss door. Intrigued, Gilbert walked over and slid it open. Sara instantly greeted him with a radiant, tender smile. "You''re awake! I made breakfast, so go freshen up and we can eat." Her hands moved with practiced grace as she prepared the meal. Gilbert could not take his eyes off her, and for a fleeting moment, she morphed into Kisa in his mind. Now, even the simplest scene seemed beyond his reach. Suddenly, a pair of delicate hands encircled his arm. Sara gazed at him with worry. "Gilbert, what''s wrong? Did you not sleep well?" With stoicposure, Gilbert gently pulled his arm away. "It was Kisa who asked you to stay," he said quietly. Sara''s lips tightened, her head lowered. Appearing both vulnerable and meless. "I know. None of you ever weed me. From the start, I''vealways been an unwanted presence." "What is it that you want?" Gilbert inquired, a hint of detachment in his voice. "Aside from love, I can give you anything else, as long as you move out and stop interfering in my life." This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Tears brimmed in Sara''s eyes. She did not sob or vent her frustrations like the night before. She simply stood silently; her head bowed. As Gilbert began to walk away, she impulsively grasped his arm, then hastily withdrew her hand, as if fearing his repulsion. With an air of caution, she implored, "I don''t want anything more than a normal life and a regr job. I''ve been disconnected from society for so long that I don''t know how to do anything else. So, Gilbert, please give me a chance. Let me work at GK. I want to prove my worth, to live by my own abilities. Once I settle into my job, I''ll move out, find a ce to rent, and stop intruding on your and Kisa''s lives." Her demeanor was a mix of vulnerability and humility. Gilbert had no reason to refuse her. With a cool detachment, he replied, "Fine. I''ll have Davian arrange a job and a ce for you to stay." "Thank you, Gilbert. Thank you so much." Gratitude seemed to shine through Sara''s tearful eyes, but as Gilbert turned away, a fleeting spark of malice and resentment flickered within her tear-streaked gaze. Kisa did not wake up untilte afternoon. The room was eerily quiet, as if not a soul was around. She lay there, listlessly, unable to muster the energy to move. Suddenly, the bedroom door creaked open. Someone tiptoed in, the footsteps deliberately softened. Slowly, she turned her gaze and saw Gilberting in, removing his jacket. "You''re awake?" he said, finally noticing her consciousness and shing a warm smile. Kisa sat up, clutching her nket, and watched him slip into casual clothes. She asked, "Did you go out?" "Yeah, I went to grab your favorite madeleines from that little shop you love." He sauntered over to her, hands on either side of her, and nted a tender kiss on the corner of her lips. "Come on, get up. They won''t taste as good if they get cold." Kisa''s eyes locked onto his handsome face, so close to her own. After a moment, she hesitantly asked, ¡°Where''s Sara?" "She moved out. I set up a job for her at GK, which is exactly what she wanted." He gently helped her up, his voice a soothing whisper. "Once you''ve eaten, we''ll go for a walk together." Still, Kisa could not shake her daze. "Surely a small job couldn''t have been all that Sara wants,'' she thought. She did not say much and just got out of bed, following Gilbert''s lead. Recently, his care and attention toward her had been nothing short of extraordinary. Yet, she did not feel particrly happy about it, and her heart was weighed down with a heavy burden. Chapter 1548 Chapter 1548 Chapter 1548 The more tenderly he treated her, the more she was haunted by the memory of his parents'' deaths and her role as the transgressor.She had stolen their lives, shattering his once-blissful childhood. Yet he never broached the subject of his parents¡® demise in her presence, fearing it would distress her. They both avoided the topic, but that did not mean it ceased to exist. April''s embrace graced the park, casting vibrant scenery and rejuvenating air all around. As Gilbert held her hand, guiding her along the cobblestone path with few passersby, she felt a wave of comfort she had once yearned for but believed unattainable. Now that she had it, her heart could never return to the innocence it once knew.She had grown reticent, often relying on Gilbert to initiate conversations. He would ask, and she would respond.He never found it tiresome and treated her with the same delicate attention as one would a first love. As twilight enveloped them and a cool breeze kissed their skin, Gilbert slipped off his suit jacket, draping it gently over her shoulders. sping her hand with conviction, he smiled warmly. "I''ve already booked our ne tickets.Once I wrap up somepany affairs this week, I''ll whisk you away to the south fora well-deserved escape.How does that sound?" His eyes radiated warmth, depth, and an unwavering devotion.Kisa gazed into his eyes, transfixed by the love they held. After a moment, a fragile smile graced her pale, gaunt face. "Okay."

Gilbert drew her into his loving embrace, murmuring softly, "The southernndscape is breathtaking; I know you''ll fall in love with it.If you do, we can make it our home." There, they would be far from the relentless pace of the city and the tormenting memories that pursued them. Kisa slowly lifted her hand, encircling his waist.She remained silent, simply closing her eyes and nestling into hisforting embrace.She chose not to dwell on anything else, surrendering herself to the serenity and warmth of that cherished moment. The sound of water in the bathroom gradually faded, leaving a captivating silhouette dancing on the semi-transparent ss door. A flicker of desire sparked in Gilbert''s eyes.He reached for a ss of cool water on the bedside table, downing it in one gulp, yet the lingering heat still clung to his skin. As the bathroom door opened, Kisa stepped out, a wave of warmth trailing her. Draped in a white robe, her once- pale cheeks now glowed with a rosy hue, thanks to the steam. Her hair, damp and clinging to her shoulders, had only been patted down with a towel before she moved to climb into bed. Gilbert sighed softly, rising to retrieve a hairdryer from the cab. "You should dry your hair before you sleep, or you''ll get a headache." Kisa squeezed the water from her hair, remaining silent.It was not that she did not want to dry it; her hair was long, and drying itpletely took quite some time. The hum of the hairdryer resonated through the room as his gentle hand worked through her tresses. The warm air snaked its way from her nape down her back, igniting aforting warmth that beckoned her toward slumber. After what felt like an eternity, her hair was finally dry. As she prepared to lie down and surrender to sleep, an icy kiss suddenly grazed the nape of her neck, causing her to shiver involuntarily. His kisses trailed further down her neck as the sash of her robe loosened, seemingly of its own ord. Instinctively, she pressed her hand against his slightly cool one, her eyes reflecting a hint of nervousness as she looked at him. Gazing into her wide, startled eyes, glistening with lingering moisture, Gilbert could not help but chuckled. He gently pinned her beneath him, his voice a husky whisper. "We''re husband and wife.Do you...not want to?" His eyes were dark and maic, like a vortex threatening to draw her in without a moment''s notice. Unconsciously, Kisa shook her head, and in the very next instant, his tender kiss descended upon her, filled with caution and care. The night unfolded before them, lengthy and enthralling, wrapping them in its enigmatic embrace. Chapter 1549 Chapter 1549 Chapter 1549 After a long, intensely passionate moment, Kisa finally found a deep slumber in thetter part of the night. Gilbert tenderly held her delicate hand in his, marveling at the daintiness of her fingers.He could not believe that this was the woman he had adored since their youth. Despite the many trials and tribtions they had faced, he could not help but feel grateful that fate had brought them back together. He pulled her closer, her body enveloped in his warm embrace. Softly, he whispered into her ear, "Together, we will find true happiness." She seemed to have heard him, murmuring a gentle "Mm," like a content kitten snuggled in his arms. The next morning, Kisa awoke to find Gilbert gazing at her with a look filled with passion and intensity. Startled, she asked, "What''s going on?" Gilbert shed a yful grin. "Nothing, just admiring how angelic you look when you are asleep." Kisa looked away, not responding. Lately, she had be more introverted; in the past, she would have shot back a cheeky reply.He could not help but miss the spirited woman she once was. As Gilbert got out of bed and began getting dressed, Kisa caught a glimpse of the marks on his back.She bit her lip and looked away. Seemingly on purpose, he took his time dressing in front of her. "Davian called a moment ago, saying there is something urgent at thepany.I need to head in." "Oh," Kisa replied, eyes downcast. Feeling a mixture of helplessness and affection, Gilbert leaned in and tenderly pressed his lips against hers. "I have to leave now," he whispered. "Then go," she replied softly. He chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. "I got you your favorite madeleines.They''re in the container in the kitchen, so don''t forget to enjoy them when you get up." "Mm." "And I''d love it if you could make lunch for me today." Kisa''s eyes met his, a flicker of curiosity emerging. "Are youing home for lunch?" "No, would you mind bringing it to the office? I''ve been craving your delicious lemon butter salmon." He wanted to give her a purpose, something to focus on. By keeping her busy, he hoped she would not be consumed by negative thoughts, preventing her from being trapped in an endless cycle of sorrow. Having promised to cook for Gilbert, Kisa sprang out of bed. They left the house together, and Gilbert lovingly dropped her off at the nearby supermarket before making his way to the office. Withser-focused purpose, Kisa quickly collected the ingredients she needed. Intent on having lunch prepared before noon, she did not waste a moment in the supermarket. Once she had everything, she was eager to return home. But as she waited for a ride, her heart skipped a beat as she recognized a familiar figure. ¡®Sara?! She watched Sara approach a sleek minivan, and through the partially open window, she noticed that the man in the driver''s seat was none other than Shaun. To her knowledge, Shaun had taken over Risen Enterprise after Jensen and Mia''s departure. As Sara climbed into the minivan, the window began to close. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . In the fleeting moment before it shutpletely, Kisa caught a glimpse of Shaun and Sara locked in a passionate kiss. ¡®What''s going on? I thought Sara had feelings for Gilbert? What are her intentions with Shaun, and what''s her true purpose for working at GK?" These questions swirled around in Kisa''s mind. Lemon butter salmon was Kisa''s signature dish.She had cooked it for Gilbert numerous times in the past, but back then, he had loathed her and never touched her meals.She could not fathom how he had fallen in love with her lemon butter salmon. Alongside the salmon, she prepared a delicious batch of roasted asparagus. Once everything was ready, she meticulously packed the dishes in disposable containers and set off. Gilbert had left a car for her to use, and since it was not during rush hour, the drive to GK was swift, taking only about 15 minutes. The security guards recognized Kisa and greeted her with the utmost respect. She headed straight for the CEO''s office, and as soon as she stepped into the sleek lobby, she was met with a chorus of hushed whispers. Chapter 1550 Chapter 1550 Chapter 1550 "Can you believe it? Miss Mitchell''s been in there for over an hour.What on earth could they be doing?" "Your guess is as good as mine.But remember, Miss Mitchell was Mr.Kooper''s first love.Talk about a st from the past." "No kidding.She was his moon and stars, the one who drove him wild.What do you think they''re up to, all alone in there for so long? Wink, wink." A few gossipy employees snickered and shot nces her way, making sure she caught every word. Kisa held her head high, ignoring them as she marched forward. Just as she reached the CEO''s office door, someone blocked her path. "Excuse me, ma''am.Mr.Kooper is currently tied up.Please wait a moment." Kisa replied coolly, ''Then please inform him that I''m here." The assistant appeared uneasy. "Mr.Kooper doesn''t like to be disturbed when he is busy.It''s best if you wait for a while." From behind her, the snide remarks and smirks resumed. "Looks like Mr.Kooper''s first love is back in town.Time for someone to make way, huh?" "Pfft, what''s the point of making a special meal for Mr.Kooper? He probably won''t even touch it." "with his first love back, who would want her cooking? If not for her, Miss Mitchell might be our CEO''s wife by now." "Quiet down.Who knows how long she will hold onto her title as CEO''s wife? Let''s just grab some popcorn and watch the drama unfold." Everyone was convinced that Sara was the one Gilbert cherished most, so they all went out of their way to please her. Back in the day, this tant favoritism had seemed phony, but now, only these gossipmongers still thought they had it all figured out. The truth is that a rtionship cannot be judged by its outward appearance alone. As Kisa checked the time, she realized it was almost lunch break. Anxious that the food would get cold and knowing the assistant would not help, she pulled out her phone and dialed Gilbert''s number herself. The man responded quickly, excitement in his voice, "You''re here? it "Are you still busy?" As soon as Kisa finished asking, the door to the CEO''s office swung open. Gilbert strode toward her, his eyes lighting up at the sight of her. "Did you make my all-time favorite lemon butter salmon?" "Yes, I brought it.Eat it while it''s hot." Kisa handed him the lovingly packed container.He gratefully took it and gently pulled her toward the CEO''s office. "Let''s savor it together." Sara, who had been with Gilbert, also emerged, her smile sweet as honey. ''''Kisa, you''re here! I was just about to whisk Gilbert away for lunch.I didn''t realize you already prepared a feast for him." "He loves my cooking," Kisa replied nonchntly, ncing toward the main office area. At that moment, the gossiping employees had all bowed their heads in shame, too mortified to speak. A flicker of jealousy and frostiness shed across Sara''s eyes but was quickly masked. Gilbert hardly looked at her, so he did not notice the malevolent re. As he led Kisa into the CEO''s office, she discreetly surveyed the room. It was clean and tidy, but a woman''s coat casually draped over the couch caught her attention. Gilbert ced the packed container on the coffee table. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Kisa looked at him, her voice barely a whisper. "They said Sara was here for over an hour." "Mhm, she met with a client this morning and had a ton of questions, so I took the time to exin no.velebook everything to her," he replied casually. Then, raising his eyes to meet hers, he asked, "What''s wrong?" Kisa shook her head, forcing a smile. "Nothing." In reality, Sara had not been with a client that morning but had been fooling around with Shaun. But Kisa held her tongue.She knew it would be more convincing if Gilbert uncovered Sara''s true colors on his own. Chapter 1551 Chapter 1551 Chapter 1551 Upon seeing her frozen in ce, Gilbert''s eyes widened as he grasped the situation. Gripping her arm, he asked with urgency in his voice, "You don''t think I''m involved with her again, do you?" "No," Kisa replied, her gaze fixated on the food. "I just can''t eat here." A spark of intrigue shed across Gilbert''s face as he scanned their surroundings. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. "Where would you like to eat, then?" It was quite a rare urrence for Kisa to express a preference.His heart swelled with excitement, and he carefully covered the food, his eyes never leaving her. "I want to eat in the employee cafeteria," Kisa said, her lips pressed together. Gilbert''s eyebrow arched in surprise, and he chuckled. "What made you suddenly want to eat there? I thought you usually despised crowded ces?" As he spoke, he stood up, bncing the food container in one hand and guiding her with the other as they made their way outside.Kisa remained silent; her eyes cast downward. In reality, the gossip she had overheard from the employees had left her feeling vulnerable. To reim her dignity, she wanted to use this opportunity to assert her significance in this man''s life.However, she could not bring herself to confess this to him. Gilbert studied her and began to grasp the unspoken truth. His eyes softened, and his hold on her hand grew firmer.He was genuinely touched by her disy of devotion.It was a clear indication that she still cared deeply for him and feared losing him to someone else. GK was immense, and its employee cafeteria was no exception. At the peak of lunchtime, the bustling space was filled to the brim. Kisa deliberately chose a prominent spot, asserting her presence. As the pair entered the cafeteria, they instantly became the center of attention. The atmosphere shifted dramatically, and the once- noisy cafeteria hushed as though everyone was in the office, on their best behavior. Gilbert unveiled the food container, grinning at Kisa, and asked, "Ready to give the employee meal from the cafeteria a try? GK''s food has a great reputation." Kisa eagerly nodded. "Absolutely, you can eat what I made, and I''ll sample the cafeteria fare." Gilbert affectionately ruffled her hair before rising to join the line for their meals.As he walked away, the air buzzed with hushed, excited whispers. "Hang on, why''s Mr.Kooper treating this woman so well? Wasn''t Miss Mitchell his one true love?" "Who knows? It appears Mr.Kooper''s heart truly belongs to his wife.But what''s the story with Miss Mitchell?" "Miss Mitchell must be ancient history.Just look at the love between Mr.Kooper and Mrs.Kooper now.They''re a match made in heaven." "Plus, all of Mr.Kooper''s children are born to Mrs.Kooper.The media has confirmed it.Miss Mitchell will never have a ce in the Kooper family.In the end, she''s no match for the wife." Sara stalked over, her eyes aze with barely contained jealousy and resentment.She stood in front of Kisa''s table, clutching her meal tray so tightly that it trembled with her fury. Kisa looked up, offering a faint smile. "Since you''re here, why not join us?" Sara''s cold, sarcastic smile apanied her as she took the seat next to Gilbert''s empty chair. "Is the CEO''s office not more tranquil than the cafeteria? You must be here to parade Gilbert''s love for you, right?" "You got me." Kisa admitted unabashedly.She leaned back, staring dismissively at the woman before her and said, "I used to believe no.velebook he was in love with you.But now, I see that you are nothing to him." Sara''s eyes narrowed, jealousy seething within them.Kisa continued. "You suddenly took a job at GK, hoping to make the employees think your old me with him had rekindled, all to create a misunderstanding for me, right? They are unaware that there was never anything between you and Gilbert.I came to this employee cafeteria to ensure everyone at GK knows that I am Gilbert Kooper''s wife, the truedy of thispany." Chapter 1552 Chapter 1552 Chapter 1552 Saraughed sarcastically. "Well, I guess I didn''t give you enough credit.But do you honestly think that Gilbert''s love for you guarantees a happily ever after?" With a tinge of jealousy in her eyes, she scoffed coldly. "You truly believe he will forget his parents'' tragic end? Don''t kid yourself.You''re both living a lie.Sooner orter, your problems will resurface.You will forever be his enemy, and your peaceful life together is just a fantasy." She lowered her voice, ensuring only Kisa could hear. For Kisa, Gilbert''s parents'' untimely death weighed heavily on her heart. Whenever it was brought up, she felt overwhelming despair and sorrow.She could not change this brutal reality, but in Sara''s presence, she hid her heartache. Remainingposed, even wearing a faint smile, she retorted, "So what? Even if we can''t be together in peace, you won''t stand a chance." Sara''s eyes narrowed malevolently. "You think I care? If his love is out of reach, I''ll take something else." Kisa frowned, puzzled by Sara''s cryptic remark. As Sara smirked bitterly, her eyes revealed jealousy, bitterness, and cunning. Kisa''s thoughts raced, remembering Sara''s flirtation with Shaun. ¡®Could Sara be working at GK not only to fuel rumors of rekindling her romance with Gilbert but also to snatch his fortune?'' Just then, Gilbert approached with a tray of food. Seeing Sara, his brow furrowed but he held his tongue. Bypassing the table corner, he sat next to Kisa. Although Sara insisted that she did not care about Gilbert''s love, his action left her seething with anger. Faking innocence, she asked, "Gilbert, am I intruding?" She continued. "Honestly, I didn''t n on joining you, but Kisa asked me to sit here." Upon hearing Sara, Gilbert shot a concerned nce at Kisa, his brow slightly furrowed. Kisa offered him aforting smile. "The more people, the merrier." Gilbert sighed, "The more people, the merrier, huh?" He tousled Kisa''s hair helplessly before pushing the tray of food toward her. "This is the staff meal, and the menu varies daily.Today''s main dishes are BBQ ribs and Osso Buco.Give them a try." Considerately, he handed her a set of cutlery.Sara was utterly ignored, her face growing increasingly bitter. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Hushed whispers surrounded them, but the voices were too soft for Kisa to make out. Nevertheless, the scornful looks aimed at Sara hinted at the subject of the gossip. After finishing her meal, Kisa wanted to leave, but Gilbert had other ns.He whisked her into the CEO''s office without exnation. Gently, he eased her onto the couch, his towering frame hovering seductively above her. Kisa''s cheeks burned with embarrassment, and she quickly looked away. Nervously, she asked, "What are you doing? We''re in the office." Gilbert remained silent but leaned in closer, his warm breath cascading down her cor, setting her heart pounding uncontrobly.He pressed a tender kiss to her neck. no.velebook She shuddered and instinctively pushed him back.He pouted, slightly hurt. "We were so closest night, and now you''re treating me like a stranger?" Flustered by his teasing, Kisa''s face flushed even deeper.She stammered. "This is...the office; it''s...not the same." "So, you''re saying you''ll let me touch you at home?" Chapter 1553 Chapter 1553 Chapter 1553 "No way!" Kisa blurted out, trying to stand up and escape.But Gilbert pulled her back in an instant, even positioning her provocatively on hisp. This pose might have been fine at home, but at the office, it felt incredibly awkward. If someone walked in, she would be mortified. Squirming to get up, she pleaded. "Gilbert, quit it! I want to go home." "I just need your help." Kisa hesitated, momentarily forgetting her attempts to break free. "Help with what?" "I have loads of documents that need organizing.Help me out, and then we''ll head home together." Kisa''s brow furrowed instinctively. "Why not let your Miss Mitchell assist you?" Gilbert''s face darkened. Feigning annoyance, he flicked her forehead. "I don''t like her hanging around." "If you don''t want her here, then why did you hire her as your secretary? Watch out; she might try to no.velebook uncover yourpany''s secrets." Kisa deliberately shared this concern, hoping he would remain cautious.He scoffed disdainfully. "She''s not that capable." His eyes locked on hers, filled with intensity. "Only you can effortlessly prate those secrets in this world." GK''s confidential information would not have been so easily essible without his approval.Kisa stayed silent. Assuming she was set on leaving, Gilbert offered a warm smile. "If you are exhausted and really want to leave, go ahead.Be careful on your way." Kisa rose from his embrace.She hesitated by the coffee table for a moment, watching him return to his desk and resume working. Lips pressed together, she asked, "Where are those documents?" Gilbert''s expression instantly brightened, and he tenderly beckoned her. "Come here." Meanwhile, outside the CEO''s office, Sara marched confidently toward the door, gripping a stack of documents. Feeling entirely at ease, she reached out to push the door open. However, before her hand could touch the handle, a junior assistant blocked her path. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Normally, the junior assistant would not have the nerve to stand in Sara''s way. But today, Gilbert''s actions had made it abundantly clear that his heart belonged to his wife, leaving Sara out in the cold. Consequently, Kisa was someone she absolutely could not risk crossing. Sara''s face instantly turned stormy, her usual gentle and poised demeanor was reced by seething anger. "What do you mean?" "Miss Mitchell, Mrs.Kooper is currently inside with Mr.Kooper, and he specifically instructed that no one should disturb them.So... "I''m just delivering crucial documents.If I cause any dys, who will be held ountable?" Sara bit back, rage simmering beneath the surface. The junior assistant replied, "In that case, hand the documents to me.I will notify Mr.Kooperter and see if he wants them brought in." "You?" Sara''s eyes filled with tant disdain. The assistant''s smile faltered but she held her ground, her dislike for Sara growing by the second.She maintained a professional tone, saying, "Mr.Kooper made it crystal clear that no one should disturb them this afternoon ¡ª not even Mr.Park.So, either leave the documents here, or wait for Mr.Kooper to emerge and I will inform you." Sara trembled with fury, her pride wounded.Her eyes narrowed maliciously as she said icily, "Notify him now that I have essential documents to deliver." The junior assistant chuckled, spinning around to dial the CEO''s office phone. "Mr.Kooper, Miss Mitchell has vital documents to deliver.Should I let her in?" There was a pause. "Alright, got it." Hanging up, the assistant''s expression was one of triumph. "Mr.Kooper said to leave the documents with me, and that he wille out to collect themter." Sara inhaled sharply, seething with indignation.It was at this very moment that Davian approached. Chapter 1554 Chapter 1554 Chapter 1554 Davian, Gilbert''s right-hand man, held an impressive level of prestige within thepany.He was granted the rare privilege of entering the CEO''s office without a heads-up, simply by knocking. Sara observed him closely as he approached the CEO''s door.She could not hold back her frustration and scolded the nearby junior assistant. "What kind of work ethic is this? Didn''t Mr.Kooper make it crystal clear that no one should disturb him? If Mr.Park interrupts Mr.Kooper''s private moment with his wife, who''s going to take responsibility?" Davian, caught off guard by her severe tone, instinctively nced over at the junior assistant.The junior assistant rolled her eyes at Sara, clearly annoyed, and then smiled at Davian. "Mr.Park, allow me to notify Mr.Kooper on your behalf." "Ah, sure." The junior assistant wasted no time in dialing Gilbert''sndline. A smirk spread across her face as she ryed the message. "Mr.Park, Mr.Kooper invites you in, and he also requests you bring the documents Miss Mitchell sent." Sara''s blood boiled at the words, herposure hanging by a thread.She gripped the stack of documents so tightly that the papers crumpled in her hands. Davian, puzzled by her brooding expression, yfully patted her shoulder, grinning. "Come on, take it easy.Summer''s just around the corner¡ªno need for such a hot temper.The junior assistant is new, so a few slip-ups are to be expected.And hey, if you''re not happy with your current position, I can find you something else.Remember, you saved Mr.Kooper once, and GK won''t do you wrong." His words sent shockwaves through the office, igniting a flurry of hushed whispers and gossip. "Wow, so she snagged the opportunity to choose any position at GK just because she saved Mr.Kooper?" "I was under the impression that Mr.Kooper was head over heels for her, reminiscing about her as his former lover, which is why he treated her so well." "Right! It turns out it was merely gratitude.She''s not all that special after all." Sara could no longer maintain herposure as her face twisted with rage. Davian abruptly realized his mistake and covered his mouth, mortified. Seeing Sara huffing and about to storm off, he quickly grabbed her. "What about the documents you brought?" Sara red at him fiercely, shoving the documents into his arms with indignation. Davian was perplexed. "It''s the truth.Why are you so angry?" Inside the CEO''s office, Kisa sat cross-legged in front of a coffee table nketed with documents. As Davian entered, he eyed her sideways, still harboring resentment for her previous collusion with David against Gilbert. "If your eyes are going to stay crooked, you might as well get rid of them." Gilbert suddenly interjected with an aloof remark as Davian red at Kisa with hostility. Feeling wronged, Davian pouted, thinking, ''Mr.Kooper is utterly bewitched by this woman.Despite everything that has happened, he still defends her.Oh well, as long as he is happy" Davian ced the documents in front of Gilbert and said, "Kelvin just sent a message. The day after tomorrow, his daughter is having her one-month birthday celebration.He asks you to make some time and be sure to attend." Gilbert raised an eyebrow and grinned. "Of course, I will go." Turning to Kisa, he said, "You''lle with me the day after tomorrow." Kisa hesitated for a moment and shook her head. "You guys go.I will stay home and rest the day after tomorrow."

Kelvin did not like her, and the Hoover family members believed she had intentionally conspired with David against Gilbert, causing the death of Madalyn. no.velebook They did not wee her presence.So she did not want to make everyone ufortable. Just as she was lost in thoughts, a shadow suddenly loomed before her. Chapter 1555 Chapter 1555 Chapter 1555 "You just have to go!" Gilbert eximed, crouching down and gripping her hand with an infectious grin. "Come on, you''ve got to meet the girl who will steal your son''s heart one day." Kisa was dumbfounded. ''How can he talk so confidently about a future that''s far from certain?¡¯ Davian, standing behind Gilbert, cleared his throat awkwardly." ¡°Uh, Mr.Kooper, Kelvin only invited you...not your wife." Gilbert''s face fell. "Well, you can tell him that if my better half isn''t invited, I''m not going either." Davian was at a loss for words. Kisa urged. "You really should go.It''d be rude not to." "But you''reing with me." He insisted. Faced with his unwavering gaze, Kisa finally gave in with a nod.She was curious to see the adorable child as well, but she worried about making everyone else ufortable. The day after tomorrow, bright and early, Gilbert first took her to the Kooper residence to collect the children.It was not until around ten in the morning that they made their way to the Hoover residence.It was the Hoover family''s first grandchild''s birthday, and the celebration at their residence was nothing short of extravagant. With arge number of guests attending, Kelvin specifically instructed Gilbert to enter through the backyard gate. The guests mingled in the front hall, leaving the backyard a peaceful oasis.Gracie, basking in the sun with the children, spotted Kisa and the others approaching and eagerly dashed over to greet them.

Kisa beamed at Gracie, "Congrattions!" Motherhood had added a tender, maternal radiance to Gracie''s features. She took Kisa''s hand and said, "Come, let me introduce you to my little angel.She''s the spitting image of Kelvin." "They say daughters take after their fathers, and it is true.Ada looks more like her dad." Kisa chuckled, as Gracie guided her to the stroller. The baby, nearly a month old,y in the stroller, looking like a delicate, porcin doll.She was breathtakingly beautiful. Kisa''s heart melted, and she longed to hold her, as she had always loved babies.Gracie noticed Kisa''s yearning and reassured her. "If you want to, you can hold her.It''s perfectly fine." "I''d better not." Kisa shook her head, fearing she might identally hurt the fragile infant.Gracie smiled gently. "It''s okay.She is awake now.If you hold her and y with her for a bit, she will be delighted." With that encouragement, Kisa cautiously lifted the baby out of the stroller.Her nerves made her hold the child a bit stiffly.

"You never let me hold her, so why does she get to? It''s not fair!" "Well, you will just have to deal with it." Gracie shot back.

Gilbert¡¯s brow furrowed deeply, and Kisa¡¯s face momentarily stiffened. The uninvited guest was none other than Sara. It was apparent that Gracie held a strong dislike for Sara, her displeasure written all over her face upon seeing her. She scoffed at Kelvin. ¡°I wasn¡¯t aware you invited her as well.¡± Seeing everyone¡¯s discontent, Kelvin appeared helpless. ¡°I didn¡¯t have a choice. She was adamant abouting, and we do share some history from our younger days. She imed she wanted to see my baby, so I just-¡± ¡°Don¡¯t hold it against Kelvin. It¡¯s true; I begged him to let mee. I just want to see the baby, and then I¡¯ll be on my way.¡± Sara spoke as she approached the group. Chapter 1557 Chapter 1557 Chapter 1557 Sara did not seem angry upon hearing what they said. Instead, she responded with a loaded smile. ¡°I was merely sharing my genuine thoughts. Your reactions, however, seem like you¡¯re trying to hide something.¡± Gracie wasced with fury, and she raised her fist, ready to take a swing at Sara. Kisa held her back, lightly chuckling at Sara. ¡°We¡¯re offering sincere advice, too-visit an eye doctor. With your level of blindness and constant bber, you¡¯re bound to get in trouble.¡± Off to the side, Kelvin tensely observed the women¡¯s verbal sparring, worried it might escte into a physical fight. Gilbert shook his head, pulling Kelvin into a corner. ¡°You¡¯ve only got yourself to me.¡± Gilbert bluntly told Kelvin. Annoyed and feeling wronged, Kelvin shot back. ¡¯You¡¯re the one who got mixed up with her. You wanted her gone for your wife¡¯s sake, so I had to clean up after you. Are we even buddies anymore?¡± Gilbert eyed him skeptically. ¡°She wanted to see your baby; how does that involve me?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it because she wanted to take this opportunity to see you?¡± Gilbert, at a loss for words, replied, ¡°She works at GK now; she doesn¡¯t need an excuse like this to see me.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care; you lured her in. Now go and put an end to this silent war.¡± Amused, Gilbert retorted. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t invited her, we wouldn¡¯t be having any problems.¡± ¡°But she begged me, tears streaming down her face, saying we¡¯re all isting her now. She spoke of her lifelong misfortune, how everyone had abandoned her, and how she had suffered years of torment from David because of you. What else could I have done?¡± The tension skyrocketed as a heated argument erupted between Gracie and Sara. Grade¡¯s fists were clenched, poised to strike, but Kisa stepped in just in time to hold her back. With the possibility of reporters lurking nearby, an all-out brawl would surely tarnish the Hoover family¡¯s reputation. In a state of panic, Kelvin grabbed Gilbert¡¯s arm, pleading. ¡°You¡¯ve got to go and defuse the situation, now!¡± Gilbert shot him a cold look. ¡¯Why don¡¯t you go?¡± ¡°If I do, I¡¯ll be the one getting pummeled. Come on, bro, help me out here. Whatever trouble you face later, I¡¯ll have your back.¡± ¡°Alright, but only if you stop ring at Kisa and start treating her with respect.¡± Kelvin gritted his teeth. ¡¯You¡¯re putting your love life above our friendship.¡± ¡°Are you in or not?¡± As the conflict intensified, Grade¡¯s face turned crimson with rage, her fists still clenched. Kelvin gritted his teeth, saying, ¡°Fine, I agree. I¡¯ll do whatever you want.¡± Gilbert chuckled, shaking his head before turning toward the feuding women. As their exchange grew more ferocious, Gilbert suddenly moved behind Kisa, wrapping his arm around her affectionately. With a warm smile, he said, ¡°Kisa, didn¡¯t you get a protection charm for Natasha?¡± Snapping back to reality, Kisa quickly told Gracie. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right! I went up the mountain yesterday to get a protection charm for Natasha. I hope she¡¯ll be healthy and safe throughout her life.¡± She produced a protection charm from her pocket. The charm miraculously diverted Grade¡¯s anger. She gratefully epted it, thanking Kisa, and fastened it to baby Natasha¡¯s clothing. Sara, standing off to the side, squinted at Gilbert¡¯s tender gesture toward Kisa. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Jealousy surged through her like wildfire. For so long, she had managed to conceal her true character, buttely, watching everyone around her basking in happiness, even Kisa with her past sins, while she had nothing and had to submit to other men, her jealousy became insufferable. She craved chaos and was even contemting murder. ¡°Madam, are you going to hit my mommy?¡¯ Chapter 1558 Chapter 1558 Chapter 1558 Just as Sara clenched her fists, her face twisted with hatred as she red at Kisa, Ada unexpectedly asked her a question with a seemingly innocent smile. Although her smile was endearing, there was an icy chill in her eyes. It was astounding how intimidating the gaze of a six-year-old could be. Sara felt a sudden, inexplicable unease and forced a smile. ¡°Oh no, I was just admiring the unique protection charm your mommy got for Natasha.¡± ¡°But, Madam, the way you looked at my mommy was super mean, like you wanted to hurt her or something.¡± Owned by N?velDrama.Org. No sooner had Ada spoken, Gilbert shot a warning nce at Sara, his eyes narrowing with an unmistakable coldness. Sara secretly gritted her teeth, struggling to contain the jealousy and resentment raging within her. She feigned a smile and said, ¡°You must have misunderstood. Your mommy and I are great friends.¡± Ada pouted, unconvinced. She dashed over to Kelvin, shaking his arm.¡± Uncle Kelvin, thatdy is super loud and annoying. She could scare my baby sister. Could you please take her to the front hall?¡± Kelvin seized the opportunity and smiled at Sara. ¡°The banquet¡¯s about to begin. Come on, I will escort you to the front hall.¡± With an innocent smile masking her intentions, Sara suggested. ¡°If the banquet¡¯s about to start, why don¡¯t we all head to the front hall together?¡± Kelvin¡¯s expression soured. His n to lead the unwee woman away was failing miserably. He nced helplessly at Kisa and Gracie. Kisa remained silent, while Gracie coldly snorted and turned her face away. Desperate, he turned to Gilbert and said, ¡°Maybe we should all go to the front hall now. The guests should be arriving any moment.¡± Gracie continued to ignore him. Gilbert, on the other hand, wrapped an arm around Kisa¡¯s shoulder, his voiceced with amusement. ¡°Head to the front hall?¡± Kisa shook her head determinedly. ¡°I want to savor this moment with Natasha here. You all go ahead to the front hall.¡± ¡°I will stay with-¡± Before Gilbert couldplete his sentence, Kelvin urgently tugged on his arm, whispering so only the two of them could hear, ¡°You shoulde with me to the front hall. Sara will only follow if you go. As long as we get Sara out of the way, they won¡¯t sh. Come on buddy, let¡¯s go to the front hall together. You can spend time with your wife anytime.¡± Gilbert shot Kelvin a suspicious nce. He realized Kelvin was using him to remove Sara from the scene. Not giving him a chance to refuse, Kelvin turned to Kisa. ¡°I¡¯ll escort Gilbert and Sara to the front hall first. You can stay back here and chat with Gracie. Gracie¡¯s been eager to ask you for some parenting advice.¡± Kisa¡¯s eyes sparkled with excitement as she nodded, clearly delighted with Kelvin¡¯s arrangement. ¡°You all go ahead to the front hall then.¡± She even waved them off, as if they were interrupting her precious conversation with Gracie. Gilbert shook his head with a wry smile, realizing his wife was not the least bit concerned about him being stolen away by another woman. As Kelvin led Gilbert and Sara toward the front hall, Sara suddenly erupted into a mockingugh. ¡°Kelvin, are you sure you want to consult Kisa for parenting advice? Heh, it seems none of her three children grew up by her side. What kind of parenting expertise could she possibly have?¡± ¡°What¡¯s it to you? At least she has three children, which is more than some people who haven¡¯t even had one and still have the nerve to throw shade.¡± Gracie snapped back before Kisa could respond, her voice filled with contempt and loathing. Sara seethed with anger, her body trembling ever so slightly, but she managed to maintain a smile on her face. With her back to the two men, her venomous gaze locked onto Kisa and Gracie. Suddenly, she moved her lips, silently mouthing words. Chapter 1559 Chapter 1559 Chapter 1559 "One day, I swear, I''ll make you all pay!" Gracie''s eyes bulged in disbelief. "What...what did you just say? You want to make us all pay? You are pretty gutsy, huh? If you think you can, thene on, bring it on!" Gracie roared, rolling up her sleeves and charging at Sara again.Sara''s face filled with fear as she backed away, looking innocent and pitiful. "Gracie, what has gotten into you? I didn''t say a thing! I ¡ªah!" Before she could finish, Gracie shoved her to the ground and cursed, calling her a worthless woman. Just as Gracie straddled her, ready to strike again, Kelvin shoved her away. "Enough already! What is up with youtely? You are flying off the handle like some kind of banshee!" "A banshee? You are calling me a banshee?" Gracie trembled with anger. "I bet you''re in cahoots with this tramp, so now you can''t stand the sight of me, Kelvin! I must have been blind to marry you.I want a divorce!" "Have you lost your mind?" Kelvin shouted back, furious. "When did you see me cozying up with her? If I wanted to, I would have done so ages ago, and you wouldn''t even be in the picture! Quit being so paranoid!" "You...you..." Gracie was so furious she started to cry.Sara quicklytched onto Kelvin''s arm, looking helpless and pitiful. "It is all my fault.Please don''t fight with Gracie because of me.I shouldn''t havee in the first ce.I''m just an unwanted burden, unwee everywhere." As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, giving her a heartbreaking appearance. Kisa watched her icily. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Sara''s acting skills surpassed even Sharon''s. Gracie was a woman who could not tolerate evil, and this two- faced woman''s act was too much for her. Clenching her fists, she wanted to rush at Sara again, but Kisa held her back. Kisa shot Sara a cold, mocking smirk, nonchntly saying, "Well, if you know you''re not wee, why don''t you do us all a favor and leave?" Sara looked down, making her appear even more pitiful.She turned to Kelvin and pleaded. "I only wanted to see your baby, but I didn''t expect to make everyone upset.I''ll leave right away." As she spoke, she pulled a protective charm from her pocket and handed it to Kelvin. "I got this charm for your little one, but I was afraid Gracie would be offended, so I hesitated to bring it out earlier." "Oh, so now you''re suddenly not worried about Gracie being offended?" Kisa scoffed, her voice dripping with disdain. Sara''s expression remained pitiful as she shoved the charm into Kelvin''s hand and turned to leave. novel.e.book Her lonely, fragile figure would probably break the heart of any man who saw her. Gilbert, however, appeared unfazed and said nothing. Kelvin looked torn, ncing at Gracie, wanting to say something soothing.But Gracie, seething with fury, turned her head away and ignored him. Kelvin''s anger red even more, and he called out to Sara with defiance. "You are my guest, and this celebration isn''t over yet.Nobody can kick you out." With that, he stormed off toward the front hall, dragging Gilbert and Sara with him, not even sparing Gracie a nce. Gilbert turned and offered Kisa a helpless smile. Kisa sighed softly and led the tearful Gracie to sit next to the baby stroller. Gracie''s anger had now turned to heart-wrenching sobs. "Kelvin''s a scumbag.Ipletely misjudged him.He told me he only took care of that tramp because of Gilbert, novel.e.book but now it is clear he is just trying to protect her.I can see that Gilbert is totally smitten with you; he has nothing to do with that tramp." Kisa gently patted Gracie''s back.As someone who had been through it all, she could see right through Sara''s maniptions. Chapter 1560 Chapter 1560 Chapter 1560 No matter who it was¡ªKelvin or Gilbert ¡ªSara''s ultimate goal was to stir up trouble for them. When she could not find a weak spot in Kisa''s rtionship with Gilbert, she targeted Kelvin and Gracie. Gracie, with her pure heart and strong sense of justice, was an easy target for Sara. Gracie stared at the baby in the stroller, tears streaming down her face as her heart ached more and more. Ada and Andrew tried desperately tofort her, but their words did little to help. Kisa embraced her, reassuringly saying, Don''t cry.We''ve all seen how deeply Kelvin cares for you. novel.e.book It''s impossible for him to have a secret affair with Sara." "But who knows?" Gracie sobbed. "Maybe he''s been hiding it all along.He used to say he was treating Sara''s wounds and would often visit her.God only knows what happened between them.And just now, the way he treated me and Sara ¡ªyou saw it too.He has changed, Kisa.I''m telling you; people change over time." Kisa shook her head, certain that Kelvin would never betray Gracie.It was painfully clear to everyone but Gracie that Kelvin was merely acting out of spite. Kisa held Gracie''s hand and said with a gentle smile, "Don''t let your thoughts run wild.The more you think like this, the more you''ll fall into that woman''s trap.She wants us all to suffer, and your unhappiness is her delight." Taking a deep, shuddering breath, Gracie''s eyes and nose reddened as she defiantly dered, "I''m not sad.I will divorce Kelvin and take the baby with me.I have my baby, and that is all I need.I don''t need him anyway." As fate would have it, just as Gracie finished speaking, Kelvin appeared nearby.His eyes were filled with icy resentment, sending a shiver down Gracie''s spine.She was startled and tried to say something, but Kelvin turned and walked away without a word. Kisa quickly urged, "Go after him and exin yourself.I think he came to apologize to you just now." "What is there to exin?" Gracie replied, her voice raw with emotion. "He''s protecting Sara, and that''s a fact.If he agrees to the divorce, it just proves that he has grown tired of me.It doesn''t matter.In his eyes, I''m the shrew now, while Sara is an untarnished goddess." This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Kisa was left speechless. Sara''s maniptions were nothing short of extraordinary ¡ªher cunning whispers had brought a loving couple to the brink of divorce. Seeing Gracie''s tear-streaked face, Kisa pleaded, saying, "If you divorce Kelvin, you will be falling right into that woman''s twisted trap. No matter how hard Sara tries to create chaos, I have unwavering faith that there''s nothing going on between her and Gilbert. Trust is the foundation of a marriage. It is precisely because there is no gap for her to exploit in my rtionship with Gilbert that she is trying to sabotage yours. People like her are warped and can''t bear to see others happy. Reflect on the countless moments you have shared with Kelvin and the trials you have faced together. Do you really have any reason to doubt his love for you? Don''t let pride destroy your marriage, or you''ll be haunted by a lifetime of regret." Gracie hung her head in silence, her heart heavy. Kisa could sense that her words had reached Gracie. She squeezed her hand tenderly and whispered, "Take some time to calm down, then find a moment to novel.e.book talk through everything with him.Everything will work out once you open up." "I don''t know what''se over metely." Gracie admitted through her sobs. "I can''t shake the suspicion that he is involved with Sara, and then I be irritable and resentful toward him.I can''t even bear the thought of him touching our baby.It''s like he''s a different person." Kisa enveloped her in a warm embrace, reassuring her. "It''s okay.You''ve just given birth, so your emotions are understandably all over the ce.Don''t torment yourself with baseless thoughts.Just look at your baby¡ªso adorable.Kelvin must be head over heels in love with this little one, which is why he constantly wants to hold her." As she spoke, Kisa''s gaze drifted toward the archway in the backyard, her brow furrowing. Chapter 1561 Chapter 1561 Chapter 1561 A figure stood at the archway, a cigarette nonchntly hanging from his lips.His mouth was twisted into a cunning, enigmatic smirk, belying his seemingly refined appearance. Framed by a pair of gold-rimmed sses, his eyes harbored a wicked glint, revealing his true, sinister nature.This man was none other than Shaun.It seemed as though he hade with a purpose, seeking out Kisa. Spotting her from afar, he waved at her, beckoning her to approach. Kisa patted Gracie''s back, urging her to find her calm, before walking toward Shaun. They were at the Hoover residence, a ce where Shaun likely would not dare to engage in any underhanded schemes. As she approached, Shaun turned and walked inside, as if enticing her to follow him somewhere. Beyond the archwayy a stairway, which Shaun ascended. Most of the guests were in the foyer and front yard, theirughter and lively music creating a vibrant atmosphere. Kisa nced upstairs, where Shaun had already vanished from sight. Furrowing her brow, she followed him up. As she reached the top of the stairs, she heard a series of suggestive, hushed sounds charged with excitement. Kisa stealthily moved closer to the source of the noise. At the top of the house was a small garret. The door was unlocked, and darkness shrouded the room. The suggestive sounds emerged from within, intermingled with a woman''s voice. It was Sara''s voice¡ªdelicate, tender, and seemingly innocent¡ªa tone that many men would find irresistibly alluring. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . "Mr.Burton, we''re at the Hoover residence.Aren''t you afraid of getting caught doing this?" Kisa''s brow furrowed in confusion. ''Mr.Burton? Could it be Shaun? But he was the one who led me up here.If he''s the man having an illicit affair with Sara, novel.e.book what is his intent in bringing me here? Isn''t he afraid I''ll expose their sordid affair?" "You are so afraid of being discovered, yet you are moaning so loudly.Is it really that enjoyable?" The man''s voice was low, amused, and taunting. Listening intently, Kisa realized with a start that the man''sughter held an undercurrent of mockery, and his voice indeed belonged to Shaun. "Oh, you''re so wicked! I''m risking my entire reputation to keep you satisfied, and you still have the audacity to tease me." "You are only catering to my desires because you''re after something in return.Come on, with your sky- high standards, you''d never even give someone like me a second nce." Shaun''s voice heavy with sarcasm. Yet, Sara seemed oblivious to it all. Her heavy breathing and soft moans filled the air, painting a scene too provocative to even imagine. Concealed in the shadows, Kisa stealthily started recording the exchange on her phone. The tititing sounds persisted for a seemingly endless stretch of time before they finally subsided. Then, Sara''sughter pierced the air, thick with bitterness and indignation. "You are well aware I''m doing this because I want something from you.I have served you time and time again, and yet you haven''t fulfilled a single one of your promises.How can you live with yourself?" "What''s the rush? You should know that what you are asking for isn''t a trivial matter. Given your insatiable greed, you will need to exercise some patience." "Greed?" Sara''s voice seethed with resentment. "The Kooper family fortune and all of GK should have been mine from the start.If it weren''t for that foolish Sharon meddling and shoving novel.e.book Kisa into Gilbert''s bed, I would be the CEO''s wife right now, not that pathetic Kisa stealing the spotlight.If I can''t have it all, nobody can.Whatever it takes, I want you to im GK for me¡ª or obliterate it if you can''t.Once Gilbert is stripped of everything, he will finally recognize my worth.Why should they all be so blissfully happy while I wallow in misery? I don''t only want Gilbert and the Kooper family fortune¡ªI want to make Kelvin and Gracie''s lives a living hell, too." Chapter 1562 Chapter 1562 Chapter 1562 "Ugh, people say I''m a twisted soul, but you take the cake.You just can''t stand seeing others happy, can you?" "You know what? If I can''t be happy, why should anyone else be? I mean, just today, I stirred the pot and turned Kelvin and Gracie''s envy-worthy marriage into a battleground, almost leading to a divorce.Seeing them argue was pure bliss.If you need intel on GK, give me a shout.After all, I didn''t stoop to working as a regr employee at GK just for a daily dose of Gilbert." "Don''t worry, I''ll make sure it''s worth your while.After all, you did take care of me quite well." Shaun smirked, a mocking glint in his eyes behind his gold-framed sses. As the figure outside the room left, he finally adjusted his belt and strolled out.Sara, disheveled, slumped to the floor, listening to the chaos outside with a bitter smile. ¡®Soon, I will be the queen bee of the Kooper family, basking in endless glory!'' she said in her mind.Kisa had juste downstairs when she bumped into Gilbert.shing a smile, Gilbert asked, ''''What brings you down from upstairs? Catching up with Gracie?" Shaking her head, Kisa was about to speak when Shaun sauntered in behind her. Impably dressed, it was impossible to believe he had just been entwined with Sara in the garret. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Gilbert''s brow furrowed at the sight of Shaun. Shaun grinned at him. "Mr.Kooper, it''s been a minute, huh?" Gilbert pulled Kisa closer and replied with a cryptic smile, "Jensen and Mia left, leaving you quite the opportunity.novel.e.book Since you''ve seized it, cherish it and don''t resort to any dirty tricks." Shaun scoffed. ''My boss''s departure gave you a golden opportunity too, Mr.Kooper.GK and the Kooper residence were in his grasp.If it weren''t for his guilt over identally causing the death of your wife''s unborn child, followed by his guilt-driven escape, you''d have nothing right now.Ultimately, everything you have now was paid for with the life of that child." Gilbert''s expression hardened, his hand tightening involuntarily. Sensing the cold tension radiating from him, Kisa quickly gripped his hand.She shot a frosty re at Shaun and snapped, "Jensen and Mia handed over Risen Enterprise to you because they trusted you.Don''t betray their faith in you." Shaun''s mocking smirk faltered for a moment.He scoffed, lit a cigarette, and swaggered toward the foyer. Gilbert''s face disyed a blend of frustration and fury, his entire body coiled with tension. Kisa sighed softly, holding his hand tightly and whispered, "Don''t let his venomous words get under your skin.What you have now was always destined to be yours.It has nothing to do with the child.Jensen merely took what wasn''t his, and now it''s back where it belongs." "I would dly give up all these worldly possessions just to have our child safe and sound." Gilbert''s eyes brimmed with tears, his face etched with remorse.He could not help but feel guilt-ridden about the child''s death, just as Kisa felt remorseful for his parents¡¯ demise. novel.e.book These were the thorns lodged deep in their hearts, impossible to extract. Kelvin''s baby''s one-month celebration was a whirlwind of excitement. Kelvin''s parents and grandfather could not contain their joy. Kisa did not spend much time in the main hall; she and Gracie retreated to the sanctuary of the backyard all day. Kelvin had not ventured back to the yard since Gracie''s biting words. Even when Jacob Hoover, Kelvin''s grandfather, wanted to parade the baby before the guests in the main hall, it was the servants who obliged. Kelvin remained out of sight all day, likely sulking in some shadowy corner. Gracie, too, seemed dispirited and hardly spoke. As the party drew to a close at 7.00 pm, Scott Hoover and Chelsea Hartman, Kelvin''s parents, stood at the entrance, bidding their guests farewell. Gracie had just escorted Kisa out when she heard Scott''s voice erupt in a torrent of curses. Chapter 1563 Chapter 1563 Chapter 1563 "Where the hell did that good-for-nothing disappear to?" grumbled a voice, frustration palpable. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "He didn''t greet the guests during the day, and now he is not even here to see them off.Can''t even bother with his own daughter''s one-month celebration! What can he possibly achieve in life?" Jacob chimed in, mming his cane on the ground, seething. "That boy must be up to no good again, influenced by some troublemaker.Just wait until he gets back; I''ll break his damn legs! Gracie kept her eyes down, saying nothing.Chelsea approached and gently took Gracie''s hand, her voice filled with concern. "Gracie, Kelvin''s always been a wild one, but you''re the only one who can rein him in.Please keep a closer eye on him ¡ª he''s a grown man who still can''t seem to act responsibly." Gracie pulled her hand away, muttering with resentment, "He has got his own hands and feet; no one can control him." Chelsea, taken aback, studied her closely, her worry intensifying. "Is there something going on between you two?" Gracie remained silent. Sara suddenly appeared, addressing Chelsea with an insincere sweetness. "Mrs.Hoover, I think I overheard Gracie in the backyard saying she wants a divorce from Kelvin.I wonder if it is true." Kelvin''s parents'' faces turned ashen, but with a few lingering guests nearby, they did not dare raise their voices. Chelsea pulled Gracie closer, her brow furrowed with agitation. "Is what she said true? Why would you want a divorce from Kelvin? Is he treating you poorly, or are we not treating you well?" Before Gracie could speak, Jacob mmed his cane again, fuming with rage. "Kelvin defied me at every turn for your sake and even directly refused the marriage I arranged for him.Now, you have barely been married, and you want a divorce.This child is still so young; aren''t you worried about bing aughingstock? If you wanted a divorce, you shouldn''t have insisted on being together in the first ce!" Jacob was livid, his hand trembling as he gripped his cane. Gracie''s eyes zed with fury at Sara, barely restraining herself from lunging at the woman and tearing her to shreds. Sara, feigning innocence, stood off to the side and even attempted to y the peacemaker with Gracie. "Come on, the Hoover family is so wonderful, your inws treat you so well.Why on earth would you think of divorcing Kelvin? He hasn''t done anything wrong.Couples need to be more understanding and patient with each other." The implication was that Gracie was ungrateful for the Hoover family''s generosity and even hinted that she was petty and unwilling to be patient with Kelvin. Sure enough, after Sara''s words, the Hoover family members'' gazes toward Gracie were tinged with displeasure. Gracie trembled with anger, and with guests still around, Kisa genuinely worried that Gracie might say something she would regret. "Well, if the Hoover family is so great, then maybe you should¡ª" "No wonder you are trying to drive a wedge between Gracie and Kelvin; you have got your eyes on the Hoover family fortune, haven''t you?" Just as Gracie started to blurt out something rash, Kisa swiftly cut her off, shooting a cold smile at Sara. "Too bad Kelvin isn''t interested in you." Sara''s face instantly morphed into a picture of innocence. "Kisa, what are you talking about? When did I ever try toe between Gracie and Kelvin? Isn''t causing the death of Mrs.Kooper Sr.enough for you? Now you''re framing me too?" no.vel.e.book Her voice was pitifully weak but loud enough to draw the attention of the scattered guests nearby. Kisa chuckled lightly. "You''re clearly eager to let everyone know we are arguing, even going so far as to intentionally draw them over here." "I didn''t do that." Sara''s expression grew even more innocent as tears welled up in her eyes. "Kisa, I have no grudge against you, so why are you always targeting me? You killed Mrs.Kooper Sr. ¡ª"Kisa cut in. "Let''s not conte issues.What''s your purpose in bringing up my grandmother-inw in every sentence?" "I¡ªI didn''t mean to.It is just that...it is just that Mrs.Kooper Sr¡ª" Chapter 1564 Chapter 1564 Chapter 1564 "What does Grandma have to do with Gracie and Kelvin''s drama? Aren''t we discussing their issues right now?" Kisa said. Sara was at a loss for words, her eyes wide and pleading as she looked at the Hoover family. They did not care much for Kisa, but they were not exactly fond of Sara either. Already annoyed by Sara''s presumptuous behavior in drawing the surrounding guests into the conversation, the Hoover family offered her no support. Just then, Kelvin finally emerged from his hiding ce inside the house. As soon as Kelvin appeared, Sara dashed over to him, her voice trembling with feigned innocence. "Kisa used me of trying to drive a wedge between you and Gracie.You need to exin to everyone that it is Gracie who wants a divorce over some petty issue.This has nothing to do with me." Kelvin did not even nce her way; his anguished eyes were locked on Gracie. Gracie''s expression was icy, her gaze downcast and silent. Seeing the tension between the couple, Mrs.Hoover realized that something had gone terribly wrong. Gossip about Kelvin getting a divorce would soon spread like wildfire. Enraged, Jacob raised his walking stick to strike Kelvin''s leg. "You little brat, you are going to disgrace our family!" Kelvin''s leg gave out from the blow, and he stumbled forward.Sara quickly caught him, her face a mask of concern, as she implored Jacob. "Mr.Hoover Sr., please don''t hit Kelvin.He is just as innocent.He didn''t even suggest the divorce; it is Gracie who is not trusting him.Maybe she is confused about my rtionship with Kelvin.If you must me someone, me me." Her insinuation was clear: Gracie was the root of the whole divorce debacle. Jacob shot Gracie a withering re but remained silent. With an air of false sincerity, Sara urged Gracie. "Gracie, the Hoover family has been so good to you, and Kelvin has always been deeply devoted to you.Please don''t cause any more trouble.There is really nothing between Kelvin and me.no.vel.e.book Have a little more faith in him, will you?" Within moments, Sara had masterfully redirected all the me onto Gracie. Everyone now believed that Gracie was the narrow-minded and ungrateful one. Kelvin''s face darkened with anger as he remained silent. Kisa anxiously watched Gracie, fearing she might act rashly. Just as Kisa prepared to y the recording, she had made earlier to divert everyone''s attention, Gracie suddenly burst intoughter. Her demeanor shifted from anger to amusement as she addressed Sara, saying, Where on earth did you hear that I wanted to divorce Kelvin?" Sara hesitated, then feigned innocence. "When you were in the backyard earlier today, you clearly said you wanted to divorce Kelvin." "I never said that." Gracie retorted, looking puzzled, then turned to Kisa. "Did I ever say I wanted to divorce Kelvin?" Kisa shook her head, grinning. "Of course not.You and Kelvin have such an amazing rtionship; there is no way you would ever consider divorce." "Exactly." Gracie scoffed at Sara. "In the end, the rumor that I wanted to divorce Kelvines from your lips.I can''t fathom why you would try to spread lies in front of the Hoover family and all these guests." Gracie''s fierce counterattack left Sara utterly humiliated.Her face flushed from red to white as she clutched Kelvin''s arm, stammering. "She clearly said in the backyard that she wanted to divorce you.You heard it too, right? I didn''t make it up, did I?" Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Kelvin''s gaze bore into Gracie, his brow furrowed so tightly that it seemed to form knots of pure emotion. Chapter 1565 Chapter 1565 Chapter 1565 Gracie could not care less about his reaction.She had already salvaged the Hoover family''s reputation, so all she had to do was wait and see how he responded. Scott and Chelsea were on edge, urgently prodding Kelvin. "Come on, tell us! Did Gracie actually bring up divorcing you or not?" "Absolutely, I heard it with my own ears." Sara chimed in, her voiceced with anxiety as she shook Kelvin''s arm. Annoyed, Kelvin pushed her away and dered. "No, Gracie and I vowed never to utter the word ''divorce" There is no way she could have brought it up." Gracie''s heart skipped a beat as she stole a nce at Kelvin, quickly averting her gaze. Fuming, Sara red at Kelvin before turning to Gilbert. You were in the backyard earlier too. You must have heard Gracie say she wanted to divorce Kelvin, right?" Gilbert''s icy expression remained unchanged. "I didn''t hear Gracie say anything like that." "Ah, so it is this woman stirring up trouble with baseless rumors? What a relief." Chelsea sighed, adding, ''''I knew my son and daughter-inw''s rtionship was rock-solid. There is no way they would suddenly entertain the idea of divorce." "Exactly, it''s nothing but unfounded gossip.We apologize for any confusion," Scott said,ughing as he reassured the surrounding guests. Initially, the guests had been gossiping about Kelvin and Gracie''s potential divorce. Now, they turned against Sara, using her of fabricating lies. Sara shot a resentful re at Gilbert and the Hoovers.Her bitter expression was chilling, evoking the image of a venomous snake. But her current predicament was entirely her own fault. If she had not been so conniving and set on sabotaging Kelvin and Gracie''s marriage, none of this would have happened. After the guests had left, Chelsea approached Sara, her face a mask of icy disdain. "We''re celebrating my granddaughter''s one-month birthday today.Inviting you was a sign of respect.Did you really think that by spreading rumors, Kelvin would divorce Gracie? Let me tell you, even without Gracie, you wouldn''t stand a chance.A family like ours wouldn''t take an interest in someone like you. Butler, please arrange a car for Miss Mitchell to be sent home.We wouldn''t want her to have an excuse to cling to my son any longer. "Chelsea''s words dripped with humiliation. Sara''s fists clenched, her face turning ghostly pale with anger.She forced a smile and responded. "Thank you for today''s lesson, Mrs.Hoover.To be honest, I don''t hold the Hoover family in high regard either." "Oh?" Chelsea did not seem angry. Instead, she sized Sara up from head to toe with a mocking smile. "Your standards are quite high.I just wonder if your luck is as good." All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. The butler arrived, gesturing for Sara to follow. With onest resentful look at Gilbert, Sara stormed off. Kisa could not help but exhale in relief.She had been worried that Gracie would act recklessly and escte the situation. Thankfully, Gracie hade to her senses in the end. As Kisa and Gilbert prepared to leave, Chelsea suddenly called out to her, taking her hand warmly. "Kisa, you should visit us more often.You and Gracie get along so well.You can keep herpany.And your three little ones are just too adorable.I absolutely adore them." Kisa nced at Jacob and Scott. Jacob maintained his stern expression, while Scott offered her a polite nod. Kisa knew the Hoovers'' sudden warmth toward her was because she had just helped Gracie save face for the family.She smiled at Chelsea. "Thank you, Mrs.Hoover.Natasha is so lovely too.I''ll definitely visit Gracie and Natasha more often." Chapter 1566 Chapter 1566 Chapter 1566 On the way back, after a day of fun, the three children were exhausted and fell asleep in the car. Gilbert had Davian drop the children off at the Kooper residence while he and Kisa got out halfway. In early summer, the evening breeze was refreshingly cool. Gilbert held Kisa''s hand as they strolled along the sidewalk. "Tired?" he asked, ncing at her. "If you''re tired, we can just take a cab back to the apartment." Kisa had lost her child at the Kooper residence, and Gilbert, fearing it would upset her, had not dared to let her return there. Instead, they had been staying together at an apartment. Kisa shook her head. "I''m not tired." A walk like this was actually quite nice.Not far ahead was the riverbank. Under the streetlights, the sparse silhouettes of people created a peaceful atmosphere. Thinking about the day''s events, Kisa could not help but worry. "I wonder if Gracie and Kelvin will reconcile." "Don''t worry." He reassured her. "Gracie turning the tables on Sara at the end shows that she''s still level-headed and sensible.Mentioning divorce was just a rashment she made in anger." "You''re right." Kisa agreed with a smile, gripping his hand a little tighter. Gilbert nced at her, the corners of his lips curling up involuntarily. Neither of them brought up the lost child or the unhappy moments from before. As they worked together to maintain their rtionship, it felt genuinely good, and neither of them grew tired. Back at the Hoover residence, after handing her baby to the nurse, Gracie returned to her room. Usually, at this time, Kelvin would have prepared a variety of delicious treats for her in the room. But that man was absent today, clearly still upset with her.She had carefully thought about what had happened and realized she might have gone a little too far by casually mentioning divorce.She had intended to return to the room to say a few gentle words and apologize. But since he was not there, her urge to apologize vanished. Annoyed, she took a bath and then leaned against the headboard, flipping through a magazine.She decided that if Kelvin spoke to her first when he came back, she would stop being angry and make up with him.But if he came back with a sour face, she would continue to be upset and ignore him. With these thoughts in mind, she waited and waited, but Kelvin never came back. When it was already past 10.00 pm, she could not focus on her magazine any longer and got up from the bed. Pulling open the door, she saw a servant passing by. She quickly stopped the servant. "Have you seen Kelvin?" "He..." The servant spoke kindly, He''s in the study.I''m bringing him chicken soup right now since he didn''t have dinner." Gracie''s gaze fell on the chicken soup the servant was carrying.She smiled. "I will take it to him.You can go and rest." "Alright, he will be delighted to see you." Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Gracie pursed her lips, unconvinced. ''If he truly wants to see me, he wouldn''t be hiding in the study and refusing to return to the bedroom, '' she said in her mind. Carrying the chicken soup, she arrived at the study, knocked on the door, and received no response. After waiting a few seconds, she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.As the door swung open, she saw Kelvin leaning back in his chair, smoking by the window. Just as she stepped inside, an impatient growl came from him. "I said I don''t want to eat anything.Now leave!" Gracie paused, taken aback.He had never spoken to her in such an impatient tone before. Swallowing her frustration, she continued to walk further into the room. "Can''t you understand what I''m saying?" Kelvin yelled again, furrowing his brow as he turned to look at her. When he realized it was her, his handsome face briefly revealed a trace of awkwardness, and his tone softened without a hint of resentment. "Oh, it''s you." Chapter 1567 Chapter 1567 Chapter 1567 Gracie strode in, ignoring Kelvin''s presence as she set the bowl of steaming chicken soup on the desk with a deliberate thud. Kelvin''s eyes flicked back and forth between her icy stare and the aromatic bowl of soup. He could not help but grumble. "If you are not here for a heartfelt apology, don''t even bother." Today had been nothing short of infuriating. ¡®How could this woman so casually mention divorce and utter words like, "it doesn''t matter whether I''m around or not"? What did she make of our love, our sacred union?" As Kelvin''s frustration simmered beneath the surface, Gracie suddenly picked up the chicken soup and downed it in one go.His eyes widened in disbelief. ¡®Isn''t that soup meant for me?'' Gracie licked her lips, smirking at him. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. "Don''t get it twisted.I''m not here to apologize.I''m just bored and needed a good book to read." With a flourish, she turned her attention to the bookshelf. Kelvin''s rage reached a boiling point, his piercing gaze fixed on her with resentment. Gracie paid him no mind and continued to scan the shelves on her tiptoes. Despite her search, she had not selected a book Taking a forceful drag of his cigarette, Kelvin muttered, "Find your book and leave already.Stop interrupting my work." Gracie''s smirk grew. ''Work? More like sulking and chain-smoking" She pulled out a poetry anthology and, with a self-assured air, sat down ina chair. "You''re free to leave.I''m staying put in the study to read." Kelvin''s fury exploded like a volcano.He took a deep, shaky breath, shot up from his chair, and stormed out of the room.He had genuinely believed she hade to apologize. Though her demeanor was cold, his heart had softened when he saw her, and his anger had begun to subside. Little did he know, she hade only to provoke him further. The door mmed with a deafening crash, rattling the entire room. Gracie''s lips curled into a satisfied smile. ''Boy, does he have a temper!¡¯ Furious, Kelvin stormed back into the bedroom, his anger practically radiating off him. First, he took a soothing shower to wash away the day''s tension, then nned to dive into a deep slumber, hoping to erase the day''s frustrations. But as he emerged from the bathroom, he spotted her nonchntly lounging at the head of the bed, a book poised on herp as if she owned the ce. He irritably toweled off his damp hair and snapped at the woman on the bed, "Weren''t you reading in the study? What brought you back to the bedroom?" "Turns out, reading in bed is a whole lot cozier," Gracie replied smugly, not even bothering to look up.he shot her a re and then, sulking, retreated to a seat by the window. She sneakily peeked at him and, with calcted innocence, said, "I''m parched." At first, Kelvin did not budge, but after a few seconds of tense silence, he begrudgingly got up and exited the room. He soon returned, a cup of warm water in hand. He ced it on the bedside table without uttering a word, his jaw set as he reimed his seat by the window. Gracie eyed the cup, a mischievous smile ying at the corners of her lips. She picked it up, took a delicate sip, and then feigned distress. "I''m absolutely famished; I hardly ate a bite tonight." She then stealthily nced at the man brooding by the window. Kelvin exhaled a smoke ring with a hint of defiance before standing up to change his clothes. Their years of marriage had stripped away any sense of modesty between them. As he changed in front of the wardrobe, she unabashedly watched him. ¡®Kelvin really does have an irresistible physique" Gracie mused, feeling her cheeks flush and her body respond to the sight. Flustered, she touched her nose, lowered her gaze to her book, and did not dare look at him again. As Kelvin stormed out of the room, he cast her onest, deliberate nce. Seeing that she did not even acknowledge him, his heart swelled with a tumultuous blend of anger and sorrow. Chapter 1568 Chapter 1568 Chapter 1568 With a final burst of rage, he mmed the door shut once again, signaling his anger. Gracie rolled her eyes. ''So immature" Despite storming out earlier, when Kelvin returned, he brought her favorite cheesecake. By this time, Gracie''s anger hadpletely evaporated. Silently, he ced the cheesecake on the bedside table and turned to leave. Gracie hurriedly called out to him. "Hey, you bought such a huge cake, there''s no way I can eat it all by myself." "Throw it away if you can''t finish it," Kelvin replied dismissively, without turning his head. Gracie pouted. "It''s not as fun eating it alone." He stopped in his tracks, and Gracie thought he would stay to eat with her. Instead, he muttered, "If you think it is no fun eating alone, then go find a few people to share it with." He said this and continued walking out without looking back. Gracie panicked, quickly threw off the covers, and rushed to embrace him from behind. "Are you still mad?" Gracie asked, with a tilted head and a smile. He maintained a stern face. "No!" Gracie pinched his handsome cheek. "You say no, but your face is so tense." Kelvin furrowed his brow and removed her hand. "You don''t care about me; you want to divorce me, right? So why bother whether I''m mad or not?" Gracie grinned at him mischievously. "Did you mishear me? When did I say I don''t care about you? When did I say I want to divorce you?" Kelvin was speechless. ''This woman''s shamelessness knows no bounds." He grumbled. "I don''t know which little mutt said it." "If you can understand what a little mutt says, then you must be one too." Kelvin stared at her, feeling both annoyed and amused.He had been genuinely angry, nning to ignore her for quite some time. But now, with her yful grin and attempts to appease him, his heart softened.He red at her. "If you dare mention divorce again, you''ll see what I will do!" "I said it before; I never mentioned that word.You misheard me," Gracie cooed at him. He could not resist his beloved woman''s coquettishness.His intentionally stern expression finally broke. Seeing him smile, Gracie became bolder, hanging on him and yfully touching him all over. Kelvin was instantly aroused, his body aching with desire. Angrily, he pushed her down onto the bed, and their passionate kisses followed. They embraced and kissed for a long time, finding it hard to part as their emotions deepened. Suddenly, Kelvin remembered something. He quickly fastened Gracie''s open robe and sprung off her. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Gracie was left dazed by his actions. She sat up, her cheeks flushed, staring at the man sitting at the end of the bed. "Why did you suddenly stop?" Kelvin wiped his face with his hand and smiled at her. "Weren''t you hungry? Eat the cake and get some sleep." Gracie frowned in dissatisfaction. "I asked you why you stopped.Why are you changing the subject?" "What do you mean, why did I stop? I''m going to take a shower.Eat quickly," Kelvin said, then got up and headed for the bathroom. Annoyed, Gracie threw a pillow at him. "Kelvin, tell me the truth, have you lost feelings for me? Are you...are you really having an affair with Sara?" Kelvin was full of tender feelings, and hearing her usations made him furious. "Can you stop overthinking things? No feelings for you? I want to devour you every single minute!" Chapter 1569 Chapter 1569 Chapter 1569 "Why did you suddenly stop, we were just..." "Damn it! You''ve just given birth not long ago, what else could I do? If it wasn''t for your health, do you think I would be able to hold back? And you still have the nerve to doubt me." Gracie''s face blushed at his words, and she yelled, "You dare to try yelling at me again!" "You still dare to doubt me? I''ve been putting you first, and all you do is doubt me. It''s driving me insane." Kelvin retorted before storming into the bathroom, mming the door behind him. Gracie felt a mix of anger, embarrassment, and amusement.She buried her face in the nket, letting out a muffled cry before getting up to nonchntly enjoy her cheesecake. The crowd strolling by the river gradually dispersed. A cool breeze blew across the water, bringing a touch of chill. Gilbert removed his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders. The woman leaned quietly against him. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. At this moment, even without speaking or doing anything, he felt content, a sense of security filled his heart. Kisa was thinking about Shaun. Today, Shaun had deliberately led her to the garret to witness his tryst with Sara. However, she still could not figure out his intentions. She took out her phone and nced at the man behind her. "I have a recording I want you to listen to; it''s about Sara.This recording might damage her reputation, but I want to know if you want to hear it." Every time she told him about Sara''s misdeeds, he always thought she was being petty and falsely using Sara, causing her to feel burdened. Sensing her thoughts, Gilbert sighed softly. "I was wrong before.From now on, no matter what you say, I trust you." Kisa pressed her lips together and said nothing, silently ying the recording. The explicit moans and gasps immediately emanated from the phone. Gilbert looked at the woman in his arms with an odd expression. With a slightly blushed face, Kisa cleared her throat and said, "Just keep listening." After the recording finished, there was no significant reaction on Gilbert''s face. Kisa looked down, putting away her phone. "You probably don''t believe it, thinking that I fabricated this recording, right?" Gilbert gazed at the woman in his arms with aplex expression. He had treated her so poorly before that she now felt a lingering shadow of doubt, always thinking he did not trust her.He tightened his arms, imprisoning her closely within his embrace, and said in a deep voice, "I told you; I''ll believe whatever you say now." "But...why aren''t you even a little surprised?" He should recognize Sara''s voice, but after listening to the recording, aside from an odd expression, he truly showed no other emotions. Gilbert rested his chin on top of her head, chuckling softly. "What''s there to be surprised about? It''s just Sara and Shaun scheming together, trying to take over the Kooper family''s fortune.We''ll see if she has what it takes." Kisa ced her hand on his, sensing once again that this man truly held no feelings for Sara. If there was even a hint of affection, he would not have disyed such indifference. "I never thought you would have such...tastes," he said, referring to her recording of Sara and Shaun''s intimate encounter. Kisa''s cheeks burned even hotter. She pursed her lips and said, "I only wanted to record her scheme to show you, so you could guard yourself against her." "Hmm, the scheming was just a few words, but you recorded quite a lot of the moaning and gasping beforehand." Heughed softly, suddenly lowering his head to her ear, his eyes filled with teasing mischief. Chapter 1570 Chapter 1570 Chapter 1570 "What did it feel like to listen to them having such a good time while you hid in the shadows?" The man was obviously teasing her. Kisa red at his mischievous smile, expressionlessly spat out a word. "Boring." ''He''s still so hopeless.I was talking to him about serious matters, and he was focused on teasing me.'' Gilbert caught up with her, cradling her small hand in his, gentlyughing. "No more anger.Let''s go back." Kisa did not speak but let him lead her. After a while, she could not help but ask, "What do you n to do about Sara?" Gilbert did not care about Sara; he casually said, "She can''t steal any secrets from GK.You really think she''s like you?" Thest sentence was said casually, but Kisa knew what it meant¡ª only she could steal GK''s secrets.It was not because she had any special abilities, but because Gilbert had allowed it.She looked at the hand gripping hers, following the arm, looking at his profile. Under the moonlight, his profile was elegant and soft, no longer sinister and cold as before. Her lips unconsciously curved, thinking, ''Everything will really get better.¡¯ The next day, Kisa did not wake up until noon. Last night, Gilbert had tormented her for half the night like a madman. She thought it must have been the recording''s fault. If she had known, she would not have let him listen. Indeed, impure thoughts were like stimnts. When she woke up, there was no one beside her. Thinking about how Gilbert had mentioned wanting to eat her cooking, she moved her sore and achy body, crawling out of bed. Fortunately, there were many ingredients in the refrigerator, so she did not need to go out to buy any. At this point, Gilbert was almost off work.She casually put on a house dress and went outside. Just as she pulled open the door, she heard a sound in the kitchen. She had a thought, walked quickly, and indeed saw Gilbert busy in the kitchen. "You...didn''t go to work?" She could not hide the happiness in her voice. Gilbert grinned at her. "You silly girl, it''s the weekend." Kisa realized her confusion.She had been so disorientedtely, always unsure of what day it was. "Go freshen up; breakfast is almost ready."Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Gilbert smiled gently at her. Kisa nced at the cutting board, seeing all her favorite dishes. The warmth in her once-cold heart grew, and her sense of happiness intensified. But she could not help but worry if her longing for this happiness was too strong, making her fearful of losing it when it finally arrived.She went to the bathroom to wash up, feeling much more refreshed. When she came out, Gilbert had already set the table with their meal. "After breakfast, I''ll take you to see a movie, or if you would like, we can go somewhere else," he said as he pulled her to the table and served her food. Kisa thought of the three children and said, "You spend all your time here and don''t visit the Kooper residence to see the kids.Aren''t you worried they will resent you?" Gilbertughed. "The kids are grown up and sensible now.They know they need to give us a chance to be alone together.They just want their mommy to be happy." Thinking of the adorable children, Kisa''s heart softened. She pressed her lips together and said, "Tomorrow, I''ll go back to the Kooper residence with you." She had previously lost a child at the Kooper residence and staying there inevitably stirred painful memories.But after some time, she had slowly let go of that heartache. The loss of that child was irreversible, but Andrew and the others were still alive and well in this world, so she wanted to spend more time with them. Gilbert looked at her serene face. "Alright," he replied. Just then, Kisa''s phone suddenly vibrated.She instinctively picked it up and saw a text message from an unfamiliar number. Chapter 1571 Chapter 1571 Chapter 1571 [Did you like the gift I sent you yesterday?] the mysterious text read. Kisa frowned deeply, her heart pounding as a suspicion formed in her mind. Hesitantly, she replied: [Is this Shaun?] [Heh, the recording yesterday was just a taste of my sincerity.Today''s gift is something much grander.Have you got the guts toe?] Kisa''s heart raced, as she realized Shaun knew she had recorded his conversation with Sara.He quickly sent her an address and a time. Kisa struggled to understand Shaun''s intentions. She hastily typed a message, her fingers trembling: [What do you want?] But Shaun did not reply. Kisa stared at the address, her thoughts racing. It was a hotel address, even including the room number. Gilbert had not seen the content of her messages. Perhaps he wanted to respect her privacy, so he did not ask any questions and quietly ate his meal. Noticing that she had not touched her food for awhile, he ced a Swedish meatball on her te, his voice gentle. "Eat up; it''s getting cold." Kisa wrestled with whether or not to tell Gilbert about Shaun. If she did not tell him and went alone to the meeting, she feared that Shaun had some devious n to harm her. But if she did tell him, she worried Shaun had an ulterior motive and was using this to target Gilbert. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. After much thought, she decided to confide in Gilbert. After everything they had been through, she felt it was better to face any issues together. With that, she showed Gilbert the message from Shaun. Gilbert nced at it. He then added a few more dishes to her te, saying, "Eat while it''s hot.Once we are finished, I''ll go with you to this address." Gilbert appeared calm, a faint smile ying on his lips, which gradually put her at ease.She did not allow herself to dwell on it any longer and instead focused on her meal. The address Shaun sent was to an opulent hotel suite on the fifteenth floor. With his hand firmly grasping hers, Gilbert led Kisa directly to the room Shaun had indicated. The door was slightly ajar, an obvious sign that Shaun had deliberately left it open. Kisa nced at Gilbert; her eyes filled with uncertainty about whether they should enter. After all, Shaun was a cunning and treacherous man; there could be a trap waiting for them. Gilbert, however, offered her a reassuring smile, gently pushing the door open and walking in. Kisa followed closely. ¡®As long as Gilbert and I are together, there''s nothing to fear,'' she thought. Upon entering, they discovered the room was an upscale suite. The moment they stepped inside, they heard intense, indescribable noisesing from the bedroom. Kisa''s cheeks blushed with embarrassment, her mind racing with questions. ''Is Shaun luring me here with the twisted intention of making me listen to him and Sara together again? Is he out of his mind?" With an enigmatic expression reminiscent of the one he had worn the previous night; Gilbert caught her gaze before confidently striding toward the bedroom door. The door was closed, with a few Pieces of clothing scattered haphazardly at the entrance. Kisa''s instinct was to leave, knowing that Shaun was trying to manipte her. But just as she turned to go, she heard a heated conversation between a man and a woman emanating from behind the door. "I thought you were a master maniptor?" the man sneered. "You managed to persuade Carolyn and Christopher to strap bombs to themselves and confront David, but you can''t handle the Hoover family?" Kisa''s heart jolted, and she nced at Gilbert.She saw his eyes narrow dangerously, a cial coldness flickering within. Shaun''s mockingughter echoed from the room again. "You must''ve suffered a lot at the Hoover residence yesterday if you''re venting your frustrations here." "One day, mark my words, I will make all of them kneel before me and beg!" Sara''s voice was filled with bravado, but it seemed unrealistic. Shaun let out another scornfulugh, enraging Sara further. "It''s all that wretched Kisa''s fault! My only regret is not killing her when I had the chance at the Mullen residence.She should have been the one to die when the basement copsed." Chapter 1572 Chapter 1572 Chapter 1572 A chilling aura emanated from Gilbert''s entire being. Kisa suddenly grasped Shaun''s true intentions ¡ª he had deliberately baited Sara to expose her vicious nature for Gilbert to see. It seemed Shaun had experienced a moment of conscience, doing something good for a change. Shaun continued to goad Sara with his biting words. "Even if Kisa were to die, there''s no guarantee Gilbert would have chosen you. Don''t forget about Sharon who came before." "Ha! That fool is nothing." Sara scoffed. "If it hadn''t been for the stubborn old Kooper hag forcing Kisa on Gilbert, he would''ve married me instead. That wretched witch is to me. I only regret not pushing her down the stairs with more force back then, allowing her a few more years to live. Dying in that explosion was too merciful for her." Kisa''s heart raced. ''What''s going on here? I thought Sharon pushed Mrs. Kooper Sr. down the stairs? How did it be Sara? Did the two conspire together, with Sara fleeing the scene first?'' As Kisa mulled it over, Sara''s bitter voice rang out again. "Speaking of that imbecile Sharon, I just remembered. She must still be locked away, raving mad in her cell.nove.el.e.book She witnessed me pushing Mrs. Kooper Sr. down the stairs, and then threatened to keep me hidden away, forbidding me to show my face. If it hadn''t been for that, I wouldn''t have spent these years scraping by with David. I''ll make sure to exact my revenge on that fool. Once everything is mine, I''ll force her to watch just how low she''s fallen. Hahaha¡­ hahaha..." ¡®I didn''t know that Sharon witnessed Sara pushing Gilbert''s grandma down the stairs and used the information to ckmail her into hiding. No wonder Gilbert''s been searching for Sara for years, but still couldn''t find her. Evidently, Sharon inflicted the second, more severe injury on his grandma, leaving her ina vegetative state for years. Little did Sara now that Gilbert''s grandma hadn''t seen her at all during the first push ¡ª she''d only seen Sharon. If Sara had been aware of this, would she have regretted going into hiding and living such a wretched life?¡¯ Lost in her thoughts, Kisa was jolted back to reality when Gilbert forcefully kicked open the door. His entire being radiated fury, with no concern for the embarrassing situation he had interrupted. As the door mmed open, Sara let out a blood-curdling scream. Shaun and Sara had just finished their intimate tryst. Nonchntly dressing himself, Shaun remained composed. Sara, however, was a picture of terror, nove.el.e.book still lying on the bed, clutching the nket to her pale, frightened face. "No, no... it''s not what it looks like, Gilbert. Please, let me exin." Sara stammered desperately. Gilbert closed in on her, his face a chilling mixture of darkness and cold fury. "I heard everything, Sara. My grandma''s death was by your hands." Sara vehemently shook her head. "No, it''s not true. Gilbert, 1 was just talking nonsense. I didn''t mean any of it." She feebly attempted to deny the usations. Shaun lit a cigarette, a cruel smirk ying on his lips. He cast a pitying nce at the distraught Sara before stepping out of the room. Kisa locked eyes with him, unable to decipher his true intentions. The fact that he had helped her expose Sara''s true nature was unnerving. Shaun shed Kisa a twisted grin and left without uttering a word. Sara''s sins had caught up to her, and Shaun had strategically left a recorder in the room as irrefutable evidence. Armed with the incriminating recording, the police swiftly apprehended Sara. As they arrived, she copsed to the floor, desperately clutching Gilbert''s pant leg, her gut-wrenching sobs echoing through the Room.Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 1573 Chapter 1573 Chapter 1573 Gilbert did not even bother to look at Sara. Kisa was suddenly reminded of her own desperate pleas for Gilbert''s trust in the past, clinging to his sleeve. It was evident that Gilbert treated her differently from Sara. When he had looked at her back then, his eyes were filled with anger, disappointment, and a hiddenyer of heartache. novel.e.book Now, as he gazed at Sara, his expression was calm and detached, as if she were nothing more than a stranger. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Gilbert''s indifference seemed to drive Sara into a fit of crazedughter. She locked her eyes on Kisa, taunting. "So what if he''s seen who I really am and learned about his grandma''s death? You''re the one responsible for his parents'' deaths, and that''s an undeniable fact. You''ll forever be a sinner in his eyes, always! Neither of you will ever find happiness, never!" Gilbert''s eyes turned ice-cold, but just in time, the police arrived and dragged Sara away. Kisa stood silently at the doorway; her hand held tightly by Gilbert as he smiled softly. "Let''s go home." After a moment, Kisa nodded with a smile. "Okay." They both avoided any mention of his parents'' deaths, as if Sara''s words had never been spoken. The sky was a vibrant blue, and the sun shone brightly. With Sara gone, it seemed as though there were no more threats looming over their rtionship. Gilbert held Kisa''s hand firmly and said, "I promised to take you on a trip to the South. I already prepared the itinerary, and the tickets are booked for the day after tomorrow. Any thoughts?" A sudden realization washed over Kisa ¡ª Gilbert had been poring over travel magazines every night, nning their southern getaway. She smiled at him and replied, "I have no preferences; I trust your judgment." On the same night, Shaun unexpectedly asked to meet her. With Gilbert away, she went alone. Her impression of Shaun was not the best, but he had undeniably helped expose Sara''s true nature. At the dimly lit bar, Shaun sat isted in a booth, his face shrouded in an enigmatic loneliness. Kisa approached and said, "Thank you for what you did with Sara." Shaun''s half-hearted smile emerged. "Don''t mention it. I wasn''t doing it for you, but to avenge my boss. In his life, he truly cared for only two people ¡ª his father and... you." His gaze locked onto her as he spoke. Kisa''s lips tightened, her thoughts turning to Jensen, leaving her with a disquieting feeling. Shaun continued. "Sara caused my boss''s father''s death. Naturally, I had to help him seek revenge.¡± Kisa scrutinized him. He was undeniably loyal to Jensen. She softly asked, "So, why did you want to meet with me tonight.?" "Nothing serious. I just wanted to reminisce about the past." The past, which included Jensen and Mia, was not as lonely as now. He said to Kisa, "You must still resent my boss, ming him for the loss of your unborn child?" Kisa shook her head. "I know he saved me from the fire. He saved both mine and ke''s lives, so no, I don''t hate him." But their once cherished bond had vanished. Shaun chuckled. "I wonder if my boss would be relieved to hear that. It''s a shame no one can reach him now." Kisa observed the destion in Shaun''s eyes and said, " All good things muste to an end.novel.e.book Since he entrusted thepany to you, give it your all and don''t betray his faith." ¡°If my boss returns, would you... forgive him?" Shaun''s gaze bore into her. Kisa offered a faint smile. "I told you; I don''t hate him. If there is no hate, where does forgivenesse in?" Shaun fell silent, his lips pressed together. He could not discern whether her answer brought sorrow or relief. ¡®With even hate gone, has their rtionship dissolved into indifference, like that of strangers?'' he thought to himself. At that moment, Davian called. Kisa instinctively answered, but her expression shifted dramatically in an instant. Chapter 1574 Chapter 1574 Chapter 1574 In a daring move, Sara had slipped away from the guards when they were distracted and broken free from the detention center. Burning with vengeance against Gilbert and Kisa, she had stormed into Ada''s school brandishing a knife and taken her hostage. Gilbert had already taken off alone in pursuit of Sara when Davian''s call reached Kisa. Panic surged through Kisa as she hung up and rushed out of the bar. Earlier, the weather had been merely hot and sticky, but now, a torrential downpour unleashed its fury. novel.e.book The heavy curtain of rain only heightened Kisa''s sense of dread. She jumped into her car and raced off in the direction Davian had described. The memory of Sara''s cruelty and insanity sent shivers down Kisa''s spine. She couldn''t bear the thought of anything happening to Ada and Gilbert. As Kisa navigated a lonely stretch of road, a horrifying sight came into view: a car, twisted and overturned from a violent crash. Shattered ss littered the ground while thick, white smoke billowed ominously from the wreckage. Blood and rainwater pooled on the pavement in a chilling, gruesome disy. Heart pounding, Kisa recognized the blood-soaked figure huddled next to the car, clutching his head in agony ¡ªit was Gilbert. With adrenaline fueling her every step, she sprinted to his side and embraced him. "Are you okay? Where''s Ada?" Her voice quivered with fear and desperation. The sight of Gilbert''s blood stung her eyes like daggers. As more blood seeped out of the car, Kisa covered her mouth and peered inside. novel.e.book Through the relentless rain, she glimpsed a woman, drenched in blood, slumped over the driver''s seat. Her face was obscured by the mixture of blood and water, rendering her unrecognizable. Frantically, Kisa scoured the wreckage, her thoughts consumed by one question: Where was Ada, her precious Ada?

Kisa''s heart jumped, and she quickly turned to see Davian running toward them, Ada cradled in his arms. "Mr. Kooper!" Davian''s voice trembled as he frantically examined Gilbert''s wounds. Ada clung to Kisa in sheer terror, her eyes wide with fear as she stared at Gilbert. "What happened to Daddy? Why''s there so much blood on him?" Kisa embraced her daughter tightly, seeking answers from Davian. Breathing a sigh of relief, he exined, "Thankfully, Mr. Kooper''s injuries are only superficial. A lot of the blood isn''t even his." As Kisa''s heart began to settle, she learned that Gilbert had raced to save Ada under the condition that he would exchange himself for her. With no hesitation, he traded ces with Ada, bing Sara''s hostage. Driven by madness, Sara sped off with Gilbert, intending to take both their lives. Desperate, Davian followed with Ada in tow. They arrived a moment toote, just as Sara''s car crashed. Miraculously, Gilbert had leaped from the vehicle just before the impact, his injuries resulting from the jump. Ambnces and police swarmed the scene soon after. Sara was pronounced dead, and Gilbert was rushed to the hospital. He remained silent, his eyes open yet unseeing, his face a mask of numbness. After the doctors treated his wounds, Kisa brought him back to the Kooper residence. Hey in bed, utterly mute. He had not uttered a word since she had found him. Kisa did not know if he had suffered a head injury or if Sara''s death had left an indelible mark on his soul. He seemed like a different person, a hollow shell, or perhaps someone lost in a haunting memory from which he could not break free. The thought of this possibility sent shivers down Kisa''s spine. With a heavy heart, she watched him for a long time before fetching a basin of warm water from the bathroom. Chapter 1575 Chapter 1575 Chapter 1575 Kisa tenderly wiped away the mud and grime from Gilbert''s hands and face with a warm, damp towel. Finishing her task, she held his hand tightly and whispered, "It''s over now. Everything''s going to be okay. Ada''s safe too. If you''re exhausted, just close your eyes and rest. I''ll be here, watching over you." Gilbert remained silent, but he dutifully closed his eyes. She ced a gentle kiss on his forehead and left the room, her heart heavy with concern for her shaken daughter. Davian and George wereforting the children when she entered the room. Davian, anxiety etched on his face, asked, "Is Mr. Kooper alright?" Kisa shook her head. "His injuries aren''t life-threatening, but he hasn''t uttered a word." George''s lips tightened, as if sensing something deeper. Kisa cast her gaze downward, asking, "When his parents were taken from him, was the scene anything like this? Outside, a torrential downpour raged on, the thunder''s roar and lightning''s sh heightening the palpable unease. ke and Andrew clung to each other on the bed, while Ada found sce in George''s arms. Kisa approached, lifting Ada into her own embrace, and looked at George. With a heavy heart, George nodded. "Yes, on that fateful night when Mr. Kooper''s parents met their tragic end, the rain poured down just like tonight. He was drenched in blood, just as he was today¡ª except back then, it was his mother''s blood." Kisa''s heart constricted, her lip quivering with sorrow. ''If only his parents hadn''t suffered such a cruel fate, his childhood could have been filled with happiness.'' A crushing wave of guilt washed over her, making it difficult to breathe. Noticing her pain, George offered reassurance. "You mustn''t torment yourself with thoughts of the past. You can''t me yourself for what happened back then, and Mr. Kooper would never hold you responsible either." Kisa held her daughter tightly, her voice stolen by sorrow. Andrew and ke, sensing her heartache, approached with their tiny arms outstretched. They wrapped around her, offeringfort in their innocent embrace. Kisa smiled through her tears, overwhelmed by guilt. Gilbert would not me her, but she could not help ming herself. She had hoped to forget the past, to extract the thorn buried deep within her heart and live a joyous life with Gilbert. But now, she realized that the thorn was immovable, no matter the effort. Returning to the dimly lit bedroom, she found Gilbert asleep, his face contorted with anguish, a prisoner to terrible dreams. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Kisay down beside him, her fingertips gently tracing the lines of his troubled expression. She curled her arm around his waist, holding him close. Burying her face in the warmth of his neck, her voice trembled. "I want nothing more than to spend the rest of our days together, in happiness. I''m so sorry for your parents'' deaths. If I could, I would erase my existence to spare you this pain." Her voice broke,den with the weight of guilt and sorrow. Blinking back her tears, she smiled at him and whispered, "Can we forget the heartache and misery? Can we live out the rest of our lives in love, raising our three children? When I die... I''ll beg your parents for forgiveness in the afterlife, kneeling before them in atonement.¡± As Kisa looked into his face, herughter mingled with tears. "If you stay silent, I''ll take that as your agreement." And with that, she nestled into his embrace, resting her head on his shoulder, willing herself to find peace in slumber. Throughout, Gilbert''s eyes remained sealed shut, his brow knitted tightly with torment. Trapped in a nightmare he could not escape, he eventually let out a tortured whisper. "Blood, it''s all blood... No, Mom... No. There''s so much blood¡­ Don''t leave me, please don''t..." Chapter 1576 Chapter 1576 Chapter 1576 Kisa''s heart plummeted, recognizing that Gilbert was trapped in a childhood nightmare. Desperate to help him, she called out, " Gilbert, please wake up! Gilbert!" He thrashed about, sweat drenching his forehead, his face twisted in agony and terror. Kisa clung to his hand, urgently whispering, "Gilbert, wake up. These are just dreams. You''ll be okay once you wake up. Please, wake up!" "Mom!" Gilbert suddenly screamed, bolting upright in bed. Heaving for breath, his muscr frame quivered. Kisa''s heart shattered as she reached out to soothe him. "It''s okay. Everything''s okay now¡ª" "Don''t touch me!" Gilbert snarled; his voice raw with emotion. His fiery eyes bore into her, seething with hatred. Kisa froze, her hand hovering in the air, fear gripping her as she did not dare touch him.Her heart bled, but she could not me him. ''It''s my fault; my very existence has stolen his parents. He has every reason to despise me. '' She told herself in her mind. Suddenly, Gilbert appeared to snap back to reality. He clutched his head, tormented murmursced with self-loathing escaping his lips. "What am I doing? I shouldn''t me you. It''s not your fault." Tears cascaded down Kisa''s face as she watched him wrestle with his pain and guilt. The thorn lodged in their hearts seemed impossible to dislodge. Their recent days of harmony and affection now felt like an borate facade, crumbling before her eyes. His parents¡® death haunted him, and he strained to suppress his hatred. She knew he loved her deeply, yet he also hated her. Their rtionship was fractured by an abyss that seemed uncrossable, and despite his efforts to mask it, their rift was bound to explode. Kisa shivered, mustering a weak smile. "Let''s leave the past behind. Your future will be brighter and filled with happiness."All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. For some reason, her words sent Gilbert into a frenzy. He hastily pulled her into a fierce embrace, clutching her as if his life depended on it. Overwhelmed by guilt and confusion, a torrent of conflicting emotions threatened to unhinge him. Trembling, he choked out. "I''m sorry, I didn''t mean it. Please, don''t leave me." Kisa tenderly caressed his quivering back, offering him a reassuring smile. "I understand, and I don''t me you." "I''ll forget the painful past and bury that horrible night deep within my heart. We just have to never touch it; if we can avoid it, everything will be fine." Kisa''s smile belied her eyes, which were awash with profound sorrow and heartache. ¡®How can everything be fine just by avoiding it? It''s an enduring nightmare for him, impossible to erase. My very presence intensifies his anguish and inner conflict.¡¯ She wiped away her tears, gently pushed him back, and soothed him with a smile. ¡°Alright, we won''t touch it." Despite her words, Gilbert''s grip on her hand tightened, as if seeking sce. Kisa stroked his face, her voice trembling. "It''ste. Let''s sleep. I will stay with you, so you won''t have any more nightmares." He nodded, but could not bring himself to lie down, his dark eyes fixed unyieldingly on her. She sighed softly, pulling him close as theyy down together. " I''m tired. I need to sleep," she whispered. In silence, Gilbert enveloped her. "Sleep." Kisa nestled in his arms; her heart weighed down by overwhelming sorrow. She could feel the depth of his love and his consuming fear of losing her. ¡®What could I possibly do? It wasn''t just anyone who perished in that tragic ident years ago; it was his beloved parents. My very existence only exacerbates his torment and internal strife.'' Biting her lip to hold back the tears, she reached a heart - wrenching decision in the quiet depths of her soul. Chapter 1577 Chapter 1577 Chapter 1577 Gilbert''s eyes remained open, locked on her throughout the night, only sumbing to sleep as dawn broke. As his breathing finally steadied, she cautiously opened her eyes. In silence, she studied the striking face forever etched in her heart, her slender fingers delicately tracing the contours of his features in the air. After an eternity, she gently disentangled herself from his embrace and gingerly rose from the bed. As she opened the door, she could not help but steal onest nce at the man lying in bed. His slumbering face still bore a tormented expression, a shadow of anguish furrowed between his brows. ¡®Perhaps, once I''m gone, his life will gradually find light,'' she mused, her eyes brimming with heart- wrenching longing and ¡®May happiness find you for the rest of your life,'' she whispered in her mind. Then, with a faint, trembling smile in his direction, she turned and silently left the room. She went to the children''s room to check on them. The morning was still dark, and the children were sleeping soundly. Kisa tiptoed over. Ada had been frightened the day before and now soughtfort among her siblings. In truth, ke was younger than Ada, but he had resolutely dered himself her big brother, vowing to protect and cherish her. As she gazed upon the three children''s sweet, innocent faces, Kisa felt a pang of bittersweet tenderness. Tears choking her words, she caressed the children''s heads and whispered, "I''m not the mother you deserve. I haven''t been with you for long, and now I have to leave again. You must listen to your daddy, don''t make him angry. You all must grow up happy and healthy. Mommy... loves you, more than you will ever know." Kisa sat on the edge of the bed, her gaze lingering on the three children for an eternity. As the first sliver of dawn broke through the darkness, she finally mustered the strength to stand up and silently left the room. As she reached the top of the stairs, her heart raced at the sudden sound of soft footsteps behind her. She quickly spun around, her eyes meeting ke''s intense stare. Kisa forced a reassuring smile. "What''s wrong, sweetheart? Did I wake you up?¡± ke shook his head, his bare feet swiftly carrying him toward her. ¡°Mommy... he whispered, gripping her hand, his small face etched with sadness and fear. "Are you leaving us? Don''t you want to be with me anymore?" Kisa''s heart clenched. This sensitive child always knew how to tug at her heartstrings. She gently caressed his head. "I will always love you, ke. I could never stop wanting to be with you." ¡°But you''re still nning to leave, aren''t you?" He persisted, his wide, dark eyes seeming to pierce her soul. "To leave Daddy and us? Tears welled up in Kisa''s eyes, betraying her emotions. "Yes, I have to leave for a little while." ke quickly asked, "For how long? When will youe back? Does Daddy know?" Kisa shook her head. ¡°Please, don''t wake Daddy. He just fell asleep. From N?velDrama.Org. ke nodded. "So, Mommy, when will youe back?" He genuinely believed she would only be gone for a short time, like a business trip. Yet, the thought of returning had never crossed her mind. Kisa''s heart ached with sorrow and guilt as she looked at ke''s wise but frightened expression. Theplexities of the adult world were beyond ke''sprehension, and she did not even know how to begin exining it to him. Sensing her inner turmoil and sadness, the perceptive child made a heart-wrenching offer. "Mommy, I''ll go with you.¡± Chapter 1578 Chapter 1578 Chapter 1578 ke clung desperately to her hand, as though fearing that the instant he let go, she would vanish into thin air. Kisa''s heart shattered into a million pieces. Crouching down, she locked eyes with ke and asked earnestly, "Don''t you want your daddy anymore? What about your brother and sister?" ke''s small head shook with fervor. "I love Daddy, and I love my brother and sister, too.But Daddy has them to keep himpany, while you''ll be all alone.I want to stay with you, Mommy." ke''s emotional depth brought Kisa to the edge of tears. Embracing him tightly, she realized he had been the one to apany her through pain and despair since the moment she was rescued from the inferno. All these years, she had been oblivious to his existence, missing every milestone in his life. Gently kissing ke''s cheek, she whispered, "Alright, I will take you with me.But I don''t have much money, so I can''t provide the samefortable life that your brother and sister will have." Undeterred, ke shook his head and smiled brightly. "I''ll earn money, Mommy.I''ll take care of you." Kisa softly stroked his head, amused but not truly believing him. As they left, she could not help but nce back, her heart weighed down by the pain of leaving Gilbert, Andrew, and Ada behind. With a heavy heart, she silently left the Kooper residence and the ce that harbored a whirlwind of love, resentment, and longing. Yearster, the memory of that day left George deeply shaken. He had seen Gilbert he had always apanied¡ªa man known for his calm and detached demeanor ¡ªsearch for Kisa with a frenzied desperation. After scouring the entire city to no avail, Gilbert broke down, his eyes red and swollen as he clutched Kisa''s clothes, demanding answers for her deception and heartless abandonment. As time wore on, Gilbert grew colder and more vicious, and no one dared to speak Kisa''s name in his presence, not even his own children. In the midst of a bustling bar, where sses clinked andughter filled the air, a striking man sat quietly in an inconspicuous corner booth. His drink gently swirled in his hand, casting a shimmering light. Mia leaned in, shing a seductive smile and batting her eyes. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. "Ever since I found you, you''ve been drowning yourself in this bar. Are you nning to spend the rest of your life in a drunken haze?" Jensen took a small sip of his drink, his gaze piercing through Mia as if she were invisible, fixed on the energetic dancers in the center. Mia''s lips tightened, and she downed her drink in one gulp. "Kisa has left Gilbert," she said. "Your chance has arrived." Jensen''s cold expression softened. Mia smiled bitterly. ''It seems the only thing that could touch his heart is news of that woman.I''ve known for so long that I stand no chance with him, yet I''ve deceived myself into believing otherwise, hoping against hope that I can eventually warm his heart.In this matter of love, I''m destined to lose no matter what" Looking back, she wondered when she had first lost herself. Mia had been an orphan taken in by the notorious McCray family. The McCrays of Raworth were famous for their wealth and power, yet no one knew that Hayes McCray, Kohen''s elder brother, harbored a dark and twisted mind. He would often bring home attractive orphans and subject them to brutally cruel training methods. Those who survived the ordeal would be personal bodyguards for the McCray family, while those who failed were used as human targets in sadistic games yed by Hayes and his fellow aristocrats. In short, all the orphans¡ªregardless of gender ¡ªwere nothing more than ythings for these privileged sons. Stripped of their dignity and souls, they lived only to survive. Back then, one day, after defeating an opponent and drenched in blood, a young man suddenly appeared before Mia. Chapter 1579 Chapter 1579 Chapter 1579 The boy stood apart from the rest, a fearless soul despite being caked in mud and filth.His eyes burned with a cold defiance that seemed too intense for someone his age. On that fateful afternoon, his piercing gaze struck her numb heart like a razor-sharp arrow. Suddenly, she felt trapped in a bottomless, repulsive swamp, desperate to grasp at a ray of light. He was that longed-for beacon of hope. Jensen was rescued by Kohen, the younger brother of Hayes of the McCray family. Kohen had never brought an orphan into their home before, marking Jensen as an extraordinary exception. One day, Kohen grinned at Hayes. "This boy is fascinating.Train him for me, but be careful not to break him." Hayes, a mischievous glint in his eye, toyed with the knife in his hand, chuckling. "I''m not the heartless monster you imagine.I don''t decide their fates.Here, survival depends entirely on their own skills and willpower." He tossed the knife tond at Jensen''s feet, pointing at the other boys and girls in the courtyard. "Now, show me what you''re made of." Jensen may not have been as important as Gilbert within the Kooper family, but he had also lived a pampered life. His slim figure, fair skin, and innate air of nobility and elegance betrayed hisck of any formal training. Kohen shook his head. From N?velDrama.Org. "Give him some training first, then see what he''s truly capable of." Hayes smirked, sweeping his arm toward the group of boys and girls in the courtyard. "Did any of them receive training when they first arrived? Look at his demeanor; he''s clearly from a wealthy family.Many of the orphans and beggars I have taken ine from privileged backgrounds, their pasts are not so different from his.But now that they have fallen from grace, they must confront the unforgiving truth.This world is merciless; without the strength to stand your ground, you are a helpless pawn in the hands of fate." Jensen''s grips tightened at his sides, his eyes aze with a fierce defiance, an unyielding coldness, and even a trace of hatred.He snatched up the knife and stared at Hayes. "What do I need to do...to stay?" He had been cast out into this foreignnd, stripped of any ie, and tormented by a gang of thugs for reasons he could not understand. Unable to even find a job, he felt his options slipping away. It was painfully clear that his grandmother had severed all ties, leaving him for dead. In this moment, his heart seethed with a deep-rooted hatred for the Kooper family, tinged with an overwhelming sense of injustice. He was determined to survive, to confront his grandmother about her callous treatment. With his back against the wall, Jensen knew his only chance at survivaly with the McCray family. Hayes let out a sinister chuckle. "Simple.Just defeat three of them, and you can stay." Mia clenched her teeth, her frustration mounting as she realized Hayes was toying with the neer. In the past, the orphans brought back did not have to face such a daunting challenge; they were allowed to stay and train directly, with apetition held three monthster. The losers would be test subjects for their research, while the winners continued to sharpen their skills. It was ringly obvious that Hayes was singling out Jensen, solely because Kohen had brought him in. Hayes studied Jensen with a wicked interest. "So, are you up for the challenge? If you choose not to take it on, you can leave the McCray family right now, and no one will stop you." He then turned to Kohen. "Do you object to my decision?" Kohen, a smile ying at his lips, spread his hands. "As long as you''re happy." Hayes shifted his gaze back to Jensen. Jensen pressed his lips together. "Fine, I ept the challenge." Chapter 1580 Chapter 1580 Chapter 1580 "Fantastic!" Hayes dered, his eyes lighting up with anticipation as he sat up straight.He addressed the young men and women gathered in the courtyard. "Give it everything you''ve got.If you lose, there''s no point in continuing your training.Coincidentally, some friends of mine have been experimenting with intriguing gamestely, and they''re in need of a few test subjects." As Hayes spoke, a chill ran down the spines of the young men and women in the courtyard. Despite Jensen''s seemingly fragile appearance, his icy demeanor was imposing. As he stepped into the courtyard, dagger in hand, not a single person dared to confront him. Hayes smirked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "So, fear has gripped you all now? I expected better after all the training I have put you through." "Mia."He suddenly shifted his gaze to her.You''ve always been my star student.It''s time for you to prove your worth against him." Mia could not help but clench her dagger tightly. She had never been apassionate person, and to survive, she had often resorted to ruthless and even dishonorable tactics. Her enchanting face had been a weapon, frequently employed to seduce adversaries. But now, she hesitated to fight the young man before her, knowing that he stood no chance against her. If she wanted him to stay, she would have to lose. But losing was not an option. If she lost, she might perish in the twisted games orchestrated by those lunatics. Even if she survived, the consequences would be devastating.Hayes eyed her with a mix of amusement and impatience, his voice taunting. "What''s the matter? Are you scared or simply unwilling?" Mia averted her eyes, her slender frame quivering ever so slightly. "I...I''m injured," she murmured. "Please, choose someone else." "Hah!" Hayes scoffed, his voice cold and dismissive. "An injury is irrelevant.He obviouslycks training.I have faith in you, Mia.You won''t lose." "Mr.Hayes..." Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Hayes''s expression turned icy, his voice unwavering. "You have two options: either face him inbat or apany me tonight to the Velvet Vagabonds." The mere mention of the Velvet Vagabonds sent a collective shiver down the spines of the young men and women in the courtyard. They knew all too well that the Velvet Vagabonds was a hedonistic haven for the affluent and reckless. This group of people, akin to raving lunatics, indulged in all manner of dangerous and thrilling games. A young woman once attempted to seduce Hayes, only to be dragged to the Velvet Vagabonds. When she emerged, she was drenched in blood and teetering on the brink of death. Hayes cruelly discarded her, leaving her to her fate. These thrill-seekers used living people as guinea pigs or ythings for their twisted amusement and forced them to fight ferocious dogs in cages. Within the confines of the Velvet Vagabonds, they were stripped of dignity, left to rely solely on their wits to survive. Driven by desperation, they had no choice but to relentlessly hone their skills, dreaming of the day they might stand out and be a personal bodyguard or assistant to a member of the powerful McCray family. Such a position would not only ensure a life free from worries, but also the promise of wealth and luxury. Before Hayes took them under his wing, they were all starving, ragged orphans. Despite the ruthless training and the grim consequences of failure, escape had never crossed their minds. Bing a bodyguard or assistant to the McCray family was their ultimate ambition. Mia''s grip on the dagger turned her knuckles white. She fixed her gaze on the resolute young man before her, his eyes deep and filled with determination. In his stare, she recognized an unyielding will to live and a spirit that refused to be conquered. For the first time, her heart raced, gripped by an unfamiliar emotion. Hayes, a sinister grin curling his lips, stared icily at Mia. "If you don''t want to go to the Velvet Vagabonds, then let the duelmence." Kohen furrowed his brow as he observed his older brother, finding his brother''s behavior toward that captivating girl was different. Chapter 1581 Chapter 1581 Chapter 1581 Mia and Jensen finally shed in a heated battle. As Hayes had pointed out, the young man seemed inexperienced and even fragile. It did not take long for Mia to seize the advantage, but Jensen stubbornly refused to ept defeat. After being knocked down, he quickly sprang back up, his determination driving him to face Mia once more. Throughout their fierce exchange, Mia held back, skillfully redirecting a potentially deadly blow to Jensen''s chest so that it merely grazed his arm instead. Kohen watched, his eyes gleaming with amusement as he nced over at Hayes, who sat in a nearby chair. Hayes wore a chilling expression, his icy gaze fixated on the fighting duo. After more heart- poundingbat, Mia''s de pressed against Jensen''s chest while his was poised at her throat. They found themselves in a tense deadlock. One of the other girls jeered at Mia. "Mia, you''re always so ruthless toward us, never showing us any mercy.Why are you treating this pretty boy with such tenderness? Are you holding back on purpose? W Mia shot the girl a freezing re. "If you think I''m holding back, why don''t you step up and fight him yourself? But remember this, if you lose, you will be joining Mr.Hayes at the Velvet Vagabonds." The girl''s face shifted as she red back at Mia, biting her tongue in silence. Another young man looked to Hayes. "Mr.Hayes, does this count as a draw?" Hayes let out a sinister chuckle, toying with a dagger in his hands. At twenty, he was the oldest in the group, but far from the sunny and cheerful disposition one might expect of someone his age. Everyone knew Hayes was unpredictable, dark, and cold-hearted ¡ª No one dared to provoke him. Mia watched him intently, her hand gripping her dagger, slick with sweat. The oue of their deadlock could potentially send both of them to the Velvet Vagabonds. The air was thick with tension as everyone awaited Hayes'' verdict, but the enigmatic man remained silent, leaving no clue as to his thoughts. Suddenly, Jensen dropped his weapon and, with a calm resolve, told Hayes. "I lost.I''m leaving the McCray family." Having been brought into the group by Kohen, his departure was inevitable if he failed to secure his ce. Mia''s eyes widened with concern as she anxiously looked at him. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "You didn''t lose." Jensen held his tongue, his expression cool and collected as he stared at Hayes. Hayes released a chilling, sardonicugh. His icy gaze bore into Mia. "Since when have you be sopassionate?" Mia''s lips pressed tightly together, saying nothing. Hayes'' fury grew, and he coldly dered. "Since you insist he didn''t lose, then it must be you who lost.You will apany me to the Velvet Vagabonds tonight." Mia''s body visibly trembled, her face turning deathly pale in an instant. Some of the girls in the courtyard gloated over her misfortune, while the eyes of several boys brimmed with sympathy and concern. Jensen''s brow furrowed, blocking Hayes as he attempted to leave. "I told you, I''m the one who lost." Hayes¡¯ eyes narrowed dangerously. "What, are you eager to join us at the Velvet Vagabonds as well?" Kohen coughed and grabbed Jensen''s arm, shing a smile at Hayes. "Hayes, he''s with me, so he won''t be part of your twisted games.Just help me train him." With a frigid snort, Hayes stormed out of the courtyard. Mia slumped to the ground, emotionally drained. Jensen looked at her, his handsome face still a picture of indifference. "Mia, you must''ve been bewitched by this young man to actually lose to him." "I saw Mr.Hayes''s rage.You''re in for a night of torment." "Yeah, Mia, you''d bettere back alive from the Velvet Vagabonds.Otherwise, we''ll be truly heartbroken, hahaha..." Chapter 1582 Chapter 1582 Chapter 1582 A group of girls swarmed around Mia, their taunts and jeers cutting through the air. Mia picked at the grass, her eyes locked on the retreating figure of the young man she had just met. A bitterugh escaped her lips, wondering if she had truly lost her senses. The usually cold and ruthless Mia had shown mercy to aplete stranger. But as his indifferent silhouette faded into the distance, she felt no regret, only a sense of resignation. Against all odds, Jensen found himself staying with the wealthy McCray family, enduring the relentless brutality of the training camp. Each assassin- in-training had their own room, nestled in the nearby courtyard, the boys'' and girls'' quarters arranged in parallel rows. The elegance and serenity of the McCray estate belied the bloody, vicious reality of their daily lives. As dusk settled, Hayes''s bodyguards came to escort Mia away. She braced herself, knowing that she might never return. As she followed them, her heart caught in her throat when she glimpsed the captivating young man, lost in thought, leaning against the door. She pressed her lips together, determined to learn his name before she left. Turning to the bodyguards, she pleaded. "Please, give me just one minute to say goodbye to my friend." Sensing the gravity of Mia''s situation, the bodyguards softened, their sympathy for the beautiful gir] evident. They agreed to her request. She jogged up to the young man, but as she met his icy gaze, words failed her. As he turned to enter his room, she impulsively reached out, grabbing his arm. The contact sent a jolt through her, her heart pounding wildly. His eyes pierced her, cold and unyielding. She withdrew her hand, her voice shaking. "I just wanted to remind you that only the strong survive here and achieve ultimate victory.You can never afford to be soft -hearted." Summoning her courage, she locked eyes with him onest time, her voice filled with desperation. "You must survive, no matter what." With that, she turned and walked away. The young man''s voice cut through the silence, calling out to her, "If you understand this principle, why haven''t you followed it yourself?" Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Her eyes fell, a bittersweet smile forming as tears threatened to spill. "I don''t know.Perhaps it''s just fate." She had never been one to ept fate, but in this moment, she did.She lifted her head, took a shaky breath and turned back to him. "What''s your name?" His tone was cold, detached. "If you make it back alive, I''ll tell you.If you don''t, there''s no point in telling you." With that, he disappeared into his room. Mia stared nkly at his retreating figure, her thoughts racing. ¡®Make it back alive? Can I really survive this time?" Hayes''s car was parked at the courtyard entrance.He and a driver were the only upants, with Hayes seated in the back. As Mia climbed in, her heart hammered with trepidation. She, like everyone else, feared Hayes. Hayes lit a cigarette, his gaze lowered. The car window rolled down, and he took a drag, flicking the ash outside with an air of nonchnce. The driver had not started the car yet, and Mia sat rigidly, her nerves stretched to their limits. No one spoke, and the tension inside the car was suffocating. After an agonizing silence, Hayes suddenly turned to her. "I''ll give you a chance.You don''t have to go to the Velvet Vagabonds." Mia''s eyes widened in astonishment.She could hardly believe her ears. Hayes was notoriously ruthless and cold-blooded; he would not ordinarily give anyone such an opportunity. Chapter 1583 Chapter 1583 Chapter 1583 As Mia stared in disbelief, Hayes'' lips twisted into a wicked smile. "Spend one night with me, and you can avoid the Velvet Vagabonds." Mia''s shock intensified, and she could not help but feel repulsed. Rumors swirled about Hayes, with many girls attempting to seduce him, but none seeding.She was at a loss as to why he was suddenly making such a proposition to her. The cigarette between his fingers burned away, and Hayes fixed her with an impatient stare. "Well? Make your choice.I don''t have all day." Mia''s hands clenched, her heart warring within her. If not for the captivating young man she had met, she might have been tempted by the offerid before her now. However, that young man had be a ray of hope in her heart, and she longed to pursue that light unblemished. As if a sudden resolve gripped her, she gazed at the formidable man before her with a fierce, unwavering determination for the first time. "I...I''ll go to the Velvet Vagabonds." To her surprise, Hayes showed neither anger nor disappointment. This left her wondering if his earlier proposal was just a cruel test, and he did not truly desire her. "You truly are different from the others," he said, then signaled the driver to start the car. Throughout the tense ride, Hayes remained silent, lost in the smoke of his cigarette. As the car crept closer to the Velvet Vagabonds, her heart clenched tighter and tighter. "If you make it back alive, I will tell you." The young man''s words echoing in her mind. Her fists tightened, her resolve strengthening. ¡®I have to survive and return, no matter what" From the outside, the Velvet Vagabonds resembled a beautiful castle. Its interior wasvishly decorated, making it the perfect yground for the wealthy and privileged. As Hayes entered the Velvet Vagabonds, Mia caught sight of a metal cage containing a vicious dog and a young man. The young man was engaged in a fierce battle with the dog. It was said that if one could defeat the beast, the person could escape Velvet Vagabonds. Despite being covered in blood, the young man refused to give up his chance at life. Unable to watch any longer, Mia averted her gaze. Her heart raced with anxiety, uncertain of what twisted game she would be subjected to. The Velvet Vagabonds was a three-story castle-like mansion, bustling with activity on the first two floors. Upon reaching the second floor, Mia noticed aman and a woman engaged in intimate acts on a luxurious sofa. She heard that this was the best possible scenario for the girls brought here: if they could catch the eye of one of these privileged men and satisfy them, they too could leave the Velvet Vagabonds. Hayes sat on the other side of the sofa, expressionless as he watched the couple. Mia could not help but feel pity for Hayes, who seemed to show no reaction to the scene before him. Due to his family''s high standing in Raworth, Hayes held a particrly prestigious position among these privileged individuals. Regardless of age, they all addressed him with respect. A few of the men approached, and Mia instinctively moved closer to Hayes. "Well, well, look what our dear friend found ¡ª quite the stunner, isn''t she?" "Yeah, what did she do wrong for you to bring such a gorgeous woman here?" Several men in their twenties eyed Mia with predatory gazes. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. With her head lowered, her heart tightened in fear. Suddenly, one of the men moved closer and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Don''t be scared, sweetheart.As long as you please me, you''ll be able to leave this ce unharmed." Chapter 1584 Chapter 1584 Chapter 1584 Mia''s heart raced as she was repulsed by the touch of an unfamiliar man. With a surge of adrenaline, she wrenched herself free from his grasp and retreated a couple of steps. The man, Keh, was instantly incensed. His sneer was icy as he spat. "What''s wrong? Can''t handle a little attention from me? Don''t get cocky just because you''re a little easy on the eyes.You''re not special.I could throw you in a cage and let the dogs have their way with you!" Another manughed menacingly. "Keh, she just finds you repulsive.Now, if you looked like Hayes, do you think she''d still push you away?" "True," chimed in another voice. "It''s a shame that Hayes isn''t interested in women, though.No matter how beautiful, they don''t seem to catch his eye." Truth be told, this group of privileged young men was striking, especially Hayes. The McCray family''s genes were undeniably exceptional. Hayes had a brooding and terrifying air about him, yet his face was more captivating than most women''s. His entrancing, narrow eyes appeared to lure people in. Kohen, meanwhile, radiated genuine warmth and elegance, his innate nobility andmanding aura making him stand out in a crowd. But neither of these brothers seemed to have any interest in women. A leering man turned to Hayes and said with a sinister grin, "Since you brought her here, does that mean we can have our way with her?" Mia''s hands clenched at her sides, as she fought to maintain herposure. But inside, the terrified sixteen-year-old girl was screaming. Keh, his grudge still burning, cackled maliciously. "Why not toss her in a cage? I''d be thrilled to witness the beauty and the beast locked inbat.It''s just a pity that such a lovely face might get married in the process." Mia''s face drained of color as she nced toward Hayes.He reclined on the couch, leisurely puffing on a cigarette, his face betraying no hint of emotion. One manmented with a predatory gleam in his eye. "Such a lovely face.It''d be a waste if it were marred by a beast.We should have our fun with her first." Keh scoffed. "That''s only if she is into you.Don''t forget our golden rule here: when ites to matters between men and women, we can''t force anything unless the woman consents willingly." The men''s disappointment was palpable, and some even tried to persuade Mia to just choose one of them and get it over with. Mia stood still, her silence like a protective shield around her. Time crawled by, and eventually, the man and woman on the couch across from Mia finished their sordid business. They still had not decided on a "game" for Mia to y. Calling it a game was a stretch; it was more like punishment. The woman on the couch seemed reluctant to leave. Ignoring her disheveled clothes, she clung to the man''s arm and cooed, desperationcing her voice. "Let me serve you from now on and keep me by your side." The man coldly kicked her away, his voice like ice. "Are you out of your mind? I''m giving you a chance to leave, and you still want to stay? You really want to stick around the Velvet Vagabonds and be tormented?" Mia recognized the woman as someone she had bested just days before. She was quite beautiful and had once harbored dreams of seducing Hayes. However, before she could make her move, someone else had tried and failed miserably, which put an end to her ns. The woman, now pushed away, gave up on her fantasies. As she dressed and walked downstairs, she even managed a triumphant smirk at Mia, as if to mock her and tell her that it was now her turn. Mia watched her, her eyes a calm pool of defiance. It was a level of tranquility that none of them could achieve and that they all envied. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. As for Mia''s punishment, the men huddled together, discussing it in hushed voices before turning to Hayes. "Hey, Hayes, what game do you think she should y?" As his cigarette burned out, Hayes casually crushed the butt in the ashtray and said, his voice indifferent, "How about an archery contest?" Chapter 1585 Chapter 1585 Chapter 1585 The deadly archery contest they referred to was far from ordinary; it involved using living, breathing human beings as targets. In the past, this chilling game had imed lives and those who survived were left crippled for the rest of their lives. Their shooting skills were nothing to brag about; they yed for the adrenaline rush it provided. In no time, Mia found herself bound and spread-eagled to arge spinning wheel. Fear surged through her veins as her hands clenched into fists. Yet,pared to the prospect of being thrown into a cage to battle a wild beast, this option seemed marginally more bearable. The men swiftly split into teams. One of them stared at Mia''s hauntingly beautiful face,menting, "Why''d you have to be so stubborn? If only you''d been like the woman earlier, just a single night with one of us would have granted you your freedom.Such a senseless choice!" Mia bit down on her lip, internally agreeing with the man''s sentiment. "Yes, why be so obstinate? It''s all for that young man, that guiding light.The true horror lies in losing my beliefs and purpose" As the unchallenged leader, Hayes and his team were granted the first shot. The rules were straightforward: the team that consistently hit the bullseye without causing any harm to Mia would be dered the victors. The losers would then be subjected to a month of running errands for the winning team. Hayes showed no mercy, epting the bow and arrow handed to him by a servant. He focused his gaze on the girl strapped to the spinning wheel, who, despite the terror coursing through her, maintained a brave front without pleading for mercy even once. A sinister smile graced his lips as he drew the bow to its full extent and aimed at the girl. The servant set the wheel in motion, and Mia began to spin wildly along with it. The surrounding crowd watched with bated breath, their eyes glued to Hayes and his weapon. "Do you think Hayes can hit the mark with this arrow?" "Who knows? He never took part when we yed this game before. "I don''t believe Hayes'' archery skills are all that impressive either.We''ve never had any proper training, after all.This poor, lovely girl should just pray for a miracle." The surrounding men engaged in heated discussions. Suddenly, with a swift "whoosh," an arrow was released, speeding toward the girl. Instinctively, Mia shut her eyes, bracing herself for the excruciating pain that she expected to follow. But the agony never came. The arrow hadnded just inches from her ear. Her chest heaved withbored breaths and sweat drenched her brow. As she tilted her head slightly, she caught sight of the arrow. She knew that if it had been just a hair off, even the tiniest fraction more to either side, she would have been a goner. "Wow, Hayes is amazing! Has he had training?" "Incredible, Hayes! He hit the bullseye, and the girl''s unharmed!" Hayes silently observed the terror etched across the girl''s pale face, an unsettling sense of satisfaction washing over him.He reveled in her appearance ¡ª the way she was visibly frightened but refused to beg for mercy.Her resilience ignited something within him.He tossed the bow and arrow to his teammates. "You guys y.I''ll watch.Remember, each of you only gets one shot." "Aww, just one? That''s no fun, Hayes.Are you falling for this pretty girl?" Hayes nced at the man with a smile, silencing him instantly. "One shot is enough.Too many would just make it boring." Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. "Right, one shot will determine the winner.Let''s continue." The remaining teams carried on with the game. Hayes lounged in a chair nearby, cigarette in hand, his eyes intensely fixed on the woman spinning on the wheel. Although the other men were cruel and ruthless, they all possessed an innate desire to protect beautiful things. To them, Mia''s face was as perfect as a porcin doll''s. Unwilling to mar such beauty, each of the men deliberately avoided aiming at her face during their turn in the game. Chapter 1586 Chapter 1586 Chapter 1586 The wheel spun wildly, faster than they could handle. They were all terrible shots, except for Hayes'' one perfect arrow. Mia, though unharmed by Hayes'' shot, was left bloodied by the others. Some arrows merely grazed her arms and legs, while others pierced her shoulder deeply. By the time the game ended, Mia was soaked in blood, resembling a gruesome, bloody figure. Her teeth gritted, sweat dripping down her spine and forehead, her face was as pale as paper. Yet, despite all of this, she did not appear the least bit broken. Instead, she exuded a fragile beauty and an undeniable, captivating resilience. The game''s oue was soon clear. Hayes'' team had won, all thanks to his one arrow. Mia was released from the spinning wheel, struggling to stand and copsing to one knee. Keh nced at her and then sidled up to Hayes, chuckling. "Hayes, this woman''s got some luck on her side, surviving that ordeal." "It''s all thanks to your mercy," Hayes replied with a wry smile. The other men let out an awkwardugh. "Can''t me us for having a soft spot for such a pretty face." "A soft spot?" Hayes scoffed. "As if people like us could have a soft spot for anything." Keh stole another nce at Mia.He had not expected her to look so stunning, even when injured and covered in blood. The sight stirred something within him.He hesitated before turning to Hayes, smiling. "Now that she''s survived, what''s your n for her, Hayes? Toss her out and let her fend for herself, or what?" Hayes looked at Mia, his smile widening, then turned to Keh. "You want her?" Mia''s face twisted in horror, her gaze fixated on Hayes, her expression even more terrified than when they yed the shooting game. Keh did not mince his words. "You brought her here, so she must''ve done something wrong.Instead of throwing her out to fend for herself, why not just give her to me?" "No, please...don''t..." Mia finally whispered, her voice quivering with raw fear. Hayes found the woman increasingly fascinating.She faced death without flinching, yet the prospect of being a man''s ything terrified her. Keh stared at Hayes, his eyes wide with anticipation. "Come on, Hayes, she''s just a woman.You probably don''t even care.If you want something else in return, I''ll trade for her with you." Hayes gazed downward, a sly grin creeping across his lips. His cigarette burned steadily between his fingers, cloaking his enigmatic, devilishly handsome face in a veil of smoke. Mia trembled with terror, a fear more intense than the dread of death itself. She struggled to stand, staggering over to Hayes on unsteady legs. She tried to kneel before him, but ovee by exhaustion, copsed at his feet. Desperation etched into her face, she clutched at his pant leg and pleaded. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. "Please don''t give me to him...I beg you..." Laughter and mockery erupted around them. "Haha, Keh, you are pathetic! This woman would rather die or be cast out to fend for herself than submit to you." "Yeah, seriously, Keh.You neverck for female attention, but today this woman has rejected you time and time again.It''s just too funny." Keh''s face flushed crimson with rage, as he spat at Mia. "You ungrateful wretch! Me taking you in would be an honor.And my ce is way better than Hayes''s.No grueling training, all you have to do is serve me.If you''re cast out now, you will die for sure.With me, at least you would stay alive." Mia shook her head vehemently, her tearful eyes pleading with Hayes for mercy. Chapter 1587 Chapter 1587 Chapter 1587 Hayes smoked quietly, his calm expression imprable, causing Mia''s anxiety to skyrocket. After an agonizing silence, he still had not uttered a word. Taking this as his approval, Keh reached out to seize Mia''s hand. Despite her injuries, Mia''s agility remained intact. Fueled by sheer determination, she swiftly rose to her feet and delivered a lightning -fast kick as Keh''s hand drew near. Her movements were so fluid that everyone was caught off guard. Keh tumbled to the floor, dumbfounding everyone¡ªexcept for Hayes. He watched the young woman with intense interest, a sly smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. From N?velDrama.Org. "You damn bitch, you''re begging for it!" Keh snarled, his face twisted with rage as he leaped up and lunged at Mia. She retreated with lightning speed to the side of a coffee table, her eyes catching a glimpse of a paring knife. With a smooth, practiced motion, she snatched the knife just as Keh''s fist closed in on her. The de sliced across his arm, eliciting a blood-curdling scream as he stumbled back, clutching his injured limb. The knife cut deep, and Keh''s arm was gushing with blood. He howled in agony, still managing to re at Mia with venomous intent. "You wretch, you think you can escape me? I''ll kill you, throw you in a cage, and feed you to the dogs! I''ll leave your corpse in pieces!" The others finally snapped out of their shock. "Damn, this woman''s got some serious guts.No one has ever dared to fight back in here." "Yeah, she actually made our guy bleed.Seems like she''s got a death wish." "What a tragic waste¡ªshe''s going to die a horrible death now.Such a pity, given that beautiful face of hers." Mia''s slender frame quivered relentlessly.She was aware that fighting back against the Velvet Vagabonds would end disastrously. Gritting her teeth, she suddenly pressed the paring knife to her own throat. In that moment, her thoughts drifted to the audacious young man she had encountered earlier. ¡®There''s no going back now.What a shame; I never even found out his name" A wave of bitterness engulfed her as she closed her eyes, steeling herself to plunge the knife into her flesh. Rather than dying at the hands of these twisted monsters, she would prefer to end her own life. At least in death, her dignity would remain intact. The stinging sensation on her throat was swiftly followed by a powerful grip wrenching the knife from her hand. Her eyes flew open in surprise, revealing Hayes'' striking yet sinister face. His eyes were as dark as ink, concealing a chilling sharpness that filled her with terror. Hayes shed her a smile. "I haven''t given you permission to die yet.What''s the hurry?" A searing sensation touched her corbone, causing her heart to pound. To her horror, she saw Hayes gripping the de of the knife with his bare hand. Startled, she instantly released the weapon. The others were just as astonished. Their leader, known for avoiding women, had unexpectedly saved one in such a daring manner. Keh, unable to ept this twist of fate, protested. "Hayes, what are you doing? This woman is too rebellious to keep around." Nonchntly tossing the bloodied knife onto the coffee table, Hayes replied with a cryptic smile, "The game is over, and it''s time for me to take her back." "No, wait...Hayes, aren''t you going to hand her over to me?" Keh clutched his wounded arm, his face contorted with resentment as he red at Mia, as if he wanted to tear her apart. Hayes'' smile was inscrutable. "Have you ever seen a man give away his own woman to someone else?" At these words, everyone was left speechless. Mia stared at Hayes, her heart a tumultuous storm of shock and fear. Chapter 1588 Chapter 1588 Chapter 1588 "Did you all hear that? Hayes just imed her as his own," one of the men blurted, eyes wide. "I knew there was something different about the way Hayes looked at her.How could he let such a breath-taking beauty face death?" "Must be that she messed up big time, and Hayes brought her here for a dose of punishment." The crowd''s gaze on Mia shifted in an instant. Keh''s heart seethed with resentment, but he dared not speak further. "Alright, you guys carry on.I''m heading out," Hayes said, a smile ying on his lips. He then took Mia''s hand and led her downstairs. The men stared, dumbstruck, unable to grasp that the usually detached Hayes could be smitten with a woman. Once they left the Velvet Vagabonds, Hayes released Mia''s hand. His voice dripped with casual indifference. "Think you can manage? If you can, thene back to the McCray family with me.If not, well, you''ll have to fend for yourself out here.The McCray family doesn''t take in the half-dead." Mia clenched her teeth, her tone resolute and unwavering. "I can manage.I want to return to the McCray family." Hayesughed and strode toward the car. He had always believed that those who endured the brutal and harsh training conditions would not want to stay with the McCray family. But this young woman''s determination to return had caught him off guard. What he did not know was that her desire to return was solely for the enigmatic young man she had met earlier. Despite being covered in blood, Mia''s mind remained clear, as none of her wounds were life- threatening. Her eyes filled with concern as she nced at Hayes¡¯ bleeding hand. "Sir, let me dress your wound." Hayes clenched his injured hand, blood streaming down incessantly. The sight was enough to make anyone''s heart race. Yet, he seemed unfazed by the pain, his handsome face void of any emotion.He stared at his hand for a moment before extending it toward her. "Alright, go ahead and dress it." There were no first-aid supplies in the car. Hayes instructed his bodyguard to buy some from a nearby pharmacy. As the car pulled over to the side of the road and the bodyguard left, a heavy silence settled inside the vehicle. Hayes reclined in his seat, smoking a cigarette, while Mia closed her eyes, attempting to find a moment of reprieve. After a tense pause, Hayes suddenly turned to her, his voice cutting through the silence. "Why are you so unwilling to sleep with a man? If you had, you wouldn''t have to endure all this agony, right?"Mia''s grip tightened on her clothing, lips pressed firmly together, her silence speaking volumes.Hayes exhaled a smoke ring, scrutinizing her reticent demeanor before chuckling coldly.You already have someone you like, don''t you?" Mia''s heart shuddered, but she maintained a calm facade, replying, "No." "Heh." Hayes'' softughter hung in the air, his gaze shifting toward the window.He suddenly recalled the defiant gaze of the neer she had met earlier. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡®So that''s her type" A wry smile tugged at his lips, his eyes glinting with a frosty edge. The bodyguard returned swiftly with the medical supplies. Mia wasted no time, pulling out the alcohol and cotton balls. As she held Hayes'' injured hand, she warned, "I need to disinfect it first.It might sting, so brace yourself." Hayes merely smiled, seemingly unfazed. It was as if he genuinely could not feel the pain. As the alcohol- soaked cotton ball touched his wound, his expression remained unchanged. Mia sighed in relief; at least she did not have to be overly cautious about causing him any pain. With her experience in treating her own wounds, she deftly cleaned and dressed Hayes¡¯ injury. Upon arriving at the McCray residence, Hayes headed straight to the main building. Mia, however, was led by the bodyguard to the courtyard where they had trained before. As she stepped into the courtyard, the atmosphere was electrifying; no one had expected her to return alive. Chapter 1589 Chapter 1589 Chapter 1589 It waste at night, yet a crowd of astonished onlookers encircled Mia as she returned. Several young men beamed with excitement. "Incredible, Mia! You''re back, against all odds!" "Are you alright? You''ve lost so much blood from those wounds." "Get yourself cleaned up before infection sets in." Mia smiled warmly, moved by their heartfelt concern. Scanning the surroundings, she desperately searched for the young man she had met earlier, but only caught a fleeting glimpse of a retreating silhouette.She wanted to chase after him, but hesitated, self- conscious of her disheveled appearance. Expressing her gratitude to the concerned group, she retreated to her room. After a soothing hot shower, she tended to her injuries and slipped into clean clothes. Her heart racing, she ventured out, eager to find the young man who lived in the room behind hers.She wondered if he was asleep. He had promised her that if she survived and returned, he would share his name. Now, she could not wait to see him. In the past, she had dismissed the idea of love at first sight. Yet, here she was, experiencing the unimaginable. Walking past two imposing trees, she noticed the light was still on in the young man''s room. Her heart swelled with joy, the pain from her injuries momentarily forgotten. His door was slightly ajar. At first, Mia was ted, but as she approached the doorway, her nerves began to fray. After a moment''s thought, she decided to grab a few tubes of ointment as a pretext to see him. Clutching the ointment, her anxiety eased slightly. However, as she arrived at his door, her heart dropped. Inside the room, she saw not only the young man but also Hayes. Hayes lounged in his chair, elbow resting on the edge of the table, exuding a powerful, imposing aura. He absentmindedly traced the rim of a water ss with his long fingers, seemingly unconcerned. His hand was wrapped in the gauze Mia had applied earlier that day. Despite Hayes'' imposing presence and icy demeanor, the defiant young man standing nearby held his own. Hayes possessed a dark, alluring beauty, while the young man radiated an untouchable purity. The youth''s cool, unyielding eyes could make anyone feel inferior. Mia hesitated at the doorway, regretting her decision toe. She never expected Hayes to be in the young man''s room at this hour. None of them spoke. Mia was torn between staying and leaving. Finally, Hayes broke the silence. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Looking at Mia, he asked with a smile, "What brings you here?" Mia awkwardly clutched the medicine bottles, responding. "I, uh, brought some medicine for his wounds." Hayes let out a soft, knowingugh. "He''s only been here a day, and you two are already this close?" "Please don''t misunderstand, sir," Mia said respectfully. "I thought we would all be training together, so we should help each other out." "Helping out?" Hayes chuckled as if he had heard a joke. "Perhaps you have forgotten the rules of survival here?" Mia lowered her head, remaining silent. Hayes gazed at his injured hand, slowly smiling. "You''ve been here a while, and I''ve never seen you care for anyone else like this.You...like him, don''t you?" Mia''s heart clenched, but she quickly shook her head. As she looked up, her eyes met the young man''s calm, unwavering gaze. He seemed entirely unruffled, showing no surprise or happiness. ¡®He doesn''t like me. Of course not. I have been wallowing in the darkness for so long, how could he?'' Suddenly, Hayes stood up and began walking toward her. Chapter 1590 Chapter 1590 Chapter 1590 Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Mia''s body tensed as she watched Hayes, her heart pounding with a primal fear in response to his icy presence. Hayes came to a halt before her, his slender fingers suddenlynding on her arrow- pierced shoulder. With a sinister grin, he said, "Seems like your injuries today weren''t severe enough." As he tightened his grip, Mia involuntarily let out a pained whimper. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead, and her clothes became stained with blood. She gritted her teeth, refusing to cry out. Hayes chuckled darkly and turned to the young man behind him, his tone heavy with innuendo. "Mia is the most exceptional girl among her peers here, and quite beautiful too.Do you like her? If so, I wouldn''t mind ying matchmaker for you two." His eyes held a chilling, inscrutable glint despite his smile. His offer of ¡®''matchmaking'' seemed like a twisted joke. Mia''s gaze remained locked on the young man, her heart constricting with anticipation. After a moment, the young man approached, his voice soft yet determined. "I came here to survive.Everything else is unimportant." Mia lowered her gaze, knowing he could not possibly like her or anyone else there. He exuded an air of unattainable nobility, clearly not belonging to their world. She had a gut feeling he would eventually leave this ce. Hayes scrutinized Mia''s downcast eyes, his own narrowing dangerously. Releasing her shoulder, he left without another word. Mia and the young man were now alone at the door. After Hayes exposed her feelings, she could not bring herself to meet the young man''s gaze. Her voice trembling. She handed him the ointment, her head bowed. "Here, you''ll need this often." The young man epted it, replying quietly, "Thank you." Mia pursed her lips, embarrassed. "Don''t mind what Hayes said.He just spouts nonsense.I care about you because we will be friends and train together, or go on missions, you¡ª" "I understand," the young man offered a faint smile, his eyes remaining impassive. It was as if nothing here could stir his emotions. Mia sighed in relief, but also felt a pang of disappointment.She forced a smile. "It''ste.I should go.You should rest." "Alright," the young man replied, his voice deep and soothing. As Mia turned to leave, she remembered she had not asked his name yet.She turned back and asked, "Oh, you said that if I made it back alive, you''d tell me your name." "Jensen," he said. "My name is Jensen Kooper." ¡®Jensen...Jensen...Such a captivating name" In that moment, it was etched in her heart for a lifetime. The training in the McCray residence''s backyard was nothing short of savage, with people being eliminated daily. Although Jensen was new, Hayes seemed to deliberately make things difficult for him by having him train with the battle-hardened members. Jensen woulde away injured every day, but his unwavering tenacity and strong foundation kept him there. Each night, Mia would tend to his wounds. At first, he resisted and rejected her help. But when Mia offered to teach him some survival skills she had umted over the years, he agreed to let her care for him.He was determined to survive and eventually seek revenge, so he would not let any opportunity slip away. Chapter 1591 Chapter 1591 Chapter 1591 From that day on, every evening Mia would tend to Jensen''s wounds, and afterward, they would spar and share their hard- earned experiences with each other. Slowly, Jensen''s injuries became less frequent, and their bond deepened. They became inseparable, like two halves of a whole. Some even teased them, joking that they resembled a pair of devoted lovers. Mia would always retort, while Jensen remained silent, returning to his room with a distant look in his eyes. Mia knew there was someone else on Jensen''s mind; she had seen him staring out the window, lost in thought, his eyes filled with longing. One night, when he had too much to drink, he suddenly embraced her, calling out a different name ¡ª Kisa. In that moment, Mia was consumed with jealousy, yet she could not help but wonder what kind of girl Kisa was to have captured Jensen''s heart sopletely. Three years flew by, and winter returned to the McCray residencepound. The training ground featured arge pond, and during the coldest months, every trainee had to endure an hour-long soak in the icy waters. Those who could not handle it were eliminated. This had never been an issue for Mia - until now. Mia was experiencing her period, and the difort was unbearable. She had hoped to ask for the day off, but Hayes, who had been absent for a month, was suddenly there by the pond. Obtaining permission for a day off from Hayes was nearly impossible. Once, another girl found herself in the same situation as Mia, and with a fragile demeanor, she tried to ask Hayes fora day off. But Hayes seemed to have a deep-rooted disdain for women, showing nopassion or mercy toward them. He rejected the girl with a mocking smile, saying, "Sure, you can take time off ¡ª along, long break." The message was crystal clear: if she wanted a day off, she would have to give up her ce in the compound. There were only two ways out: either excel among the trainees and rise above them all or survive the trials of the Velvet Vagabonds. If the girl chose to take the day off, she would have to face thetter. Escaping the McCray residence might be possible after surviving the Velvet Vagabonds, but it would leave her broken, a mere shadow of her former self. In the end, the girl did not ask for the day off. She gritted her teeth and endured the hour-long soak in the freezing pond. When she emerged, she passed out from the pain and exhaustion. Hayes'' subordinates, on the other hand, were far more lenient when it came to taking time off ¡ª as long as he was not around. Thinking about the girl''s harrowing ordeal, Mia clutched her aching stomach, her mind in turmoil. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Hayes lounged on a plush couch,zily and smugly watching the young trainees enter the frigid waters one by one. He was a dark and twisted soul, taking pleasure in the torment of others ¡ª even his own friends. As Mia stood at the edge of the pond, clutching her aching abdomen, Jensen noticed her pale complexion. "What''s wrong?" he asked softly. Mia hesitated, then whispered, "It''s my period.My stomach hurts." Jensen nced at the pond, its surface coated with a thinyer of ice, and urged her, "Ask for a day off.He might agree." Mia frantically shook her head and whispered urgently, "I can''t even mention taking time off in front of him.If only he hadn''t shown up today, his underlings would have been more understanding." Chapter 1592 Chapter 1592 Chapter 1592 "But if you keep pushing yourself like this, you could wreck your body, and it might even jeopardize your ability to have kidster on." Jensen warned, his words blunt but honest. He knew that women should not be exposed to cold water during their period, especially not ice-cold water. Mia bit her lip, her face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and bewilderment. The idea of having children felt so far out of reach. People like them might never marry or have a family, let alone children. From N?velDrama.Org. The relentless training had already ravaged her body, and her period had never been regr. But until now, she had been lucky enough to dodge the "ice bath" training sessions during her period. This time, however, her luck had run out. Her stomach throbbed with pain, and her face grew paler by the minute. Jensen studied her concernedly before offering. "I could try to get you out of this." "No!" Mia quickly grasped his arm. "It won''t work.Just forget it." "What are you two gossiping about? Get in the water now!" A harsh voice suddenly cut through the air. Looking over Mia''s shoulder, Jensen locked eyes with Hayes, who stared at them, an unusual fury lurking in his icy gaze. Jensen''s brow furrowed, a daring suspicion crossing his mind. "Quit gawking and get in the water.You two are the only ones left.If you don''t want to train, then spend the night with Hayes at the Velvet Vagabonds," one of Hayes'' goons snapped at them. Mia anxiously tugged Jensen''s arm, pleading. ''We should just get in.It''ll be over before we know it." But Jensen brushed off her hand and said calmly, "The ice water will only hurt you more in your current condition.Let me try to get you a pass." Mia reached for him in desperation, but he evaded her grasp.She stomped her foot in frustration, hurrying to catch up. Hayes lounged on a plush couch, watching the approaching pair, a cruel smirk ying on his thin lips. Jensen stopped in front of him, his gaze steady and unwavering. "Can I take Mia''s ce in the ice bath training?" Mia shuddered and quickly shook her head. "No, Jensen, you don''t have to do this." Hayes toyed with the cigarette pack in his hand. After a moment, he lit a cigarette and took a drag.His half-lidded eyes fixed on Jensen as he asked, "On what grounds do you offer to take her ce?" "Friendship." Hayes scoffed. "You are quite the friend.Why don''t you just take over everyone''s training?" "No," Jensen replied evenly. "Mia is my only friend.The others are my rivals." Hayes chuckled darkly, sitting up straight. "Do you remember the question I asked you before?" Jensen stared at him expressionlessly. Hayes exhaled a smoke ring, smirking. "I asked if you liked Mia, and you said no.But now, has your answer changed?" Mia clenched her fists, her eyes filled with a mix of anxiety and anticipation as she stared at Jensen. ¡®Times have changed.When we first met, it was normal for him not to like me.But after spending three years together, have his feelings evolved?¡¯ Jensen did not answer, his demeanor as calm and still as a lifeless shell. Hayes leaned back. ncing at Mia, he said, "If you admit you like her, I''ll let you take her ce in the training.Deal?" Chapter 1593 Chapter 1593 Chapter 1593 Hayes'' smile was unrelenting, but it sent a shiver down one''s spine. Jensen fixed his gaze on him, his voice steady. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. "She is just my friend¡ªnothing romantic.I would do the same for any of my friends." "So, you still don''t have feelings for her?" Hayes sneered, casting a sly nce at Mia.Her eyes filled with tears, and his smile grew colder. "If you don''t care for her, then you have no right to take her ce in training." "I didn''t need his help anyway." Mia choked back tears and confronted Hayes. "He''s just butting in.I can handle an exercise like this on my own.I don''t need him stepping in." Hayes lowered his eyes, smirking without saying a word. Mia inhaled sharply, pain evident, and turned to walk toward the water. Jensen''s lips tightened, and he pleaded with Hayes. "Can she at least get a few days off? She''s not well." "Jensen!" Mia interrupted before Hayes could reply. Frustration and resentment in her eyes, she red at him. "My well-being is none of your concern.Even if I were dying, I don''t need your pity.Just focus on yourself." If he did not care for her, he had no reason to worry about her. She wanted him to stay out of her life. Mia stormed off into the water without looking back. Jensen sighed softly, trailing behind her. Hayes studied Mia''s pale face, his brow furrowing with concern. '' What''s happening to her?" The water in the pool was bone-chillingly cold. As Mia stepped in, her body trembled. Clenching her teeth, she waded further into the pool. The water reached their chests. Every now and then, someone would copse in the water, only to be carried away and sent to Velvet Vagabondster that night. Some, knowing they could not endure, would speak up to their supervisors. Mia bit her lip, trying to find her footing in the water. Her lips were dry and cracked. Biting down harder, they turned an even paler shade. Hayes stared at her intently, his eyes narrowing. ''Why didn''t she ask for leave herself? Is she afraid of me, or does she think I''m too cold-hearted to agree?'' After three years of grueling training, Jensen had grown significantly stronger. Standing in the freezing water, his face remained stoic. asionally, his gaze drifted toward Mia¡ªthe slender figure who had been the first and only person to help him. He was grateful. Mia''s frail body suddenly wavered, and she seemed unable to hold on any longer. Jensen quickly moved to catch her as she stumbled. "Are you okay?" He let her lean against his chest, gripping her hand tightly. "There''s only half an hour left.Can you make it?" Mia nced up at him before nodding weakly. The pain in her abdomen was unbearable. Despite the frigid winter and the icy water, ayer of cold sweat coated her forehead. Her lips had been bitten until they bled. With no strength left, she leaned heavily against Jensen. After a few more agonizing minutes, she could not take it anymore. She whispered to Jensen, her breath visible in the frosty air. "I can''t do this anymore.You...keep going..." And with that, she lost consciousness in his arms. A look of panic crossed Jensen''s face.He was about to call for help when suddenly, a ssh sounded as someone leaped into the water. Chapter 1594 Chapter 1594 Chapter 1594 The person who jumped in was none other than Hayes. Jensen''s eyes darkened as he watched the man approaching, his heart tightening. It seemed his suspicion had been right ¡ª Hayes had feelings for Mia. Suddenly, Mia vanished from Jensen''s arms. Hayes cradled her protectively, carrying her horizontally. He looked back at Jensen with a mocking smile. "You wanted to take her ce, didn''t you? Well, you can stay in the water a little longer." Jensen pressed his lips together, holding back any response. Everyone stared in shock at the scene unfolding before them: the usually aloof and unapproachable man carrying a woman ashore as if she were his most precious treasure. Whispers and murmurs filled the air, the tension palpable as everyone tried to process the unexpected sight. The supervisor on the shore, noticing themotion, barked, "What are you little runts gossiping about? Get back in line! Anyone who can''t hold on any longer, get out and head to the Velvet Vagabonds." Silence fell upon the pool. Jensen watched somberly as Hayes carried Mia away, a knot forming in his chest. He was surprised that such a cold and heartless man could have feelings for a woman. ¡®But being liked by Hayes can''t be that bad, right? At least Mia would be safe in the McCray family" he told himself in his mind. "Ow, it hurts so much!" Mia curled up, her body wracked with pain. She clutched her abdomen, her face slick with cold sweat. Hayes looked at the doctor. "What''s wrong with her?" The doctor administered a painkiller to Mia. After a moment, he respectfully informed Hayes. "She is experiencing excruciating menstruation caused by the icy water." "Excruciating menstruation?" "Yeah, women have their monthly cycle, and they are already weakened during that time, so they shouldn''t be exposed to cold water.She was submerged in icy water for so long; it''s no wonder she couldn''t handle it.Moreover, her body has sustained severe damage, and her hormones are now extremely imbnced.It might be incredibly difficult for her to conceive in the future." Hayes frowned. "What do you mean ¡®difficult to get pregnant¡¯? Can she be cured?" The doctor shook his head, a somber sigh escaping his lips. "This requires specialized treatment, and it depends on her individual constitution.For her, it is best to avoid cold water altogether.Applying a warm towel to her abdomen may offer some relief." Hayes''s gaze burned into Mia, concern etched on his face, as he dismissed the doctor with a wave of his hand. As the doctor shouldered the medical kit and quietly left the room, a servant hurried in with hot water, preparing to apply the towel to Mia''s abdomen. "Let me do it." Hayes said. The servant hesitated, surprise flickering across her face, but she did not dare to object. She handed the towel to Hayes and promptly left the room. Hayes sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes locked on Mia''s t belly, his heart aching with an unfamiliar emotion. ¡®Women care deeply about their fertility, don''t they?'' His slender fingers reached out, gently caressing her abdomen. A sudden realization washed over him - even if she could not have children, it would not matter. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Because he did not care about such things at all. Thebination of the painkiller and the warm towel brought a measure of relief to Mia. She remained curled up, her body surrendering to a restless sleep. As she dreamed, she felt a searing warmth pressing against her back, gradually banishing the chill from her body. Without thinking, she snuggled deeper into theforting embrace. Hayes watched the woman nestled in his arms, his lips lifting in a tender, involuntary smile. Mia murmured softly in her sleep. He leaned down, pressing his ear to her lips, straining to catch her whispers. Her chapped lips brushed against his ear, an ufortable sensation, yet it sent a powerful current through his body, leaving him tingling. Chapter 1595 Chapter 1595 Chapter 1595 The feeling dissipated in an instant as he heard her murmur a name.He gazed intensely at the woman in his arms, his deep eyes clouded with a dark, chilling aura. ¡®She was whispering...Jensen''s name.Ah, so she is that fond of Jensen? What a shame, the man doesn''t share her affection" He suddenly released her, looking down upon her with contempt. His eyes no longer held the depth of emotion they once did; all that remained was a cold, mocking sneer. He retreated to the window to smoke. A cool breeze blew in, dispelling the heat that had built up within him. On the expansive bed, the woman curled into a small, frail ball, pitiable and weak. He leaned back in his chair, silently observing her, his face expressionless. Mia slept fitfully. When she awoke, the sky was already dark, the room shrouded in pitch ck. However, her years of training quickly alerted her to another presence in the room. As she hastily sat up and scanned her surroundings, she caught sight of a tiny ember near the window, apanied by a tall, dark silhouette. ¡®Someone''s smoking there.Is it Hayes?'' Realizing this was not her own room, she hurriedly got out of bed. "Hayes?" At the sound of her voice, the room''s lights abruptly came on. Hayes, leaningzily against the window, smiled at her. "Awake, are you?" Mia stood rigidly before the bed, uncertain of what had transpired.Her clothes had been changed, and judging by the opulence of the room, she guessed this must be Hayes''s chamber. ''How did I end up in Hayes''s room? Wasn''t I training in the icy pond? That''s right, I had fainted afterward.What had happened after I lost consciousness? Didn''t I faint in Jensen''s arms?" Countless questions swirled in her mind, intensifying her unease. Hayes calmly regarded her. Barefoot, standing on the carpet, the woman fidgeted nervously with the hem of her clothes. She appeared so fragile and vulnerable, stirring within him a perverse desire to ravage her. For a fleeting moment, he wanted to pin her down on the bed and bully her, to watch her cry and beg beneath him.It would surely be exhrating. However, he despised forcing anyone, especially a woman. Suppressing the thought, he took a deep drag of his cigarette and approached her. "Are you feeling better?" Mia nodded hastily. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. "Much better, thank you." ¡®Aren''t I on my period? Who changed my clothes, my pants, and that? Would it not be even more embarrassing if he had a doctor examine me?! As she pondered, Hayes suddenly informed her. "A doctor took a look at you. He said you have hormonal imbnce." "Oh, oh...Thank you." Mia bowed her head respectfully, but her face flushed, burning with embarrassment. Yet the Hayes''s next words made her feel as though she had plunged into an icy abyss. "The doctor believes you...may be infertile in the future." Mia stared at him, rigid. Even as she tried to appear nonchnt, the sorrow in her eyes was unmistakable. Hayes suddenlyughed, rual edge to his smile. "You care about that alot, don''t you?" He casually flicked the ashes from his cigarette. "Actually, for people like you, the most important thing should be merely surviving.But because you have someone you like in your heart; you dream of one day being with him and forming a happy family.That is why you''re so concerned about whether you can have children in the future, right? And you''re also afraid that he''ll care about this issue, that he''ll reject you, aren''t you?" Mia bit her lip, her heart aching with grief. Clenching her fists, she retorted.You''re mistaken, Hayes.All I care about is staying alive." Chapter 1596 Chapter 1596 Chapter 1596 "Is that so?" Hayes smiled at her. "I can make your life veryfortable.Would you be willing to be my woman?" Mia stared at him in shock. ''This isn''t the first time he''s asked me such a question.But why.." Hayes approached her. Smoke from his cigarette swirled around his wrist, obscuring his face and making his expression unreadable.He smiled faintly. People have told you that you have a pretty face, haven''t they? Yes, I like your face, and I like your body." Mia instinctively stepped back, but suddenly, there was a hand around her waist. Hayes pulled her forcefully against him. "Be my woman, and I can make you the most powerful woman in the McCray family.No more enduring harsh training, no more daily duels with others, no more injuries." Mia shook her head frantically. "Hayes, please don''t do this." His words frightened her.She had always thought that the McCray family''s heir was a man devoid of desires, especially with no interest in women.His sudden words to her were unbelievable and terrifying. Observing her panic, Hayes coldly smirked. "Didn''t you just say that all you care about is staying alive? So why, when I can offer you a better life, are you unwilling?" As he finished speaking, he softlyughed, as if he were gently questioning his own child. But Mia only felt fear toward this unpredictable man, and she longed to escape.She said solemnly, "I want to fight to stay alive, but not like this." "What? Being with me would cause you pain? Or is it because I''m not Jensen?" Hayes continued to smile as he spoke.His smile sent chills down Mia''s spine. To her, the McCray family''s heir was dark, enigmatic, and cruel ¡ª a man of extreme danger.She feared bing entangled with him in any way. Moreover, she was already in darkness and did not want to plunge into an even cker abyss. Hayes represented that abyss.She had a feeling that if she were to be involved with him, it would mean irrevocable ruin. In her heart, Jensen was the only one who could bring light to her world.She yearned for him and pursued him, yet she felt unworthy. Hayes''s eyes gradually grew colder. The woman''s daze confirmed his suspicions ¡ª she was in love with Jensen. He closed his eyes slightly, the subtle expressions on his face betraying his struggle to suppress the violent emotions coursing through him. He disliked coercion and had little patience. If he could not have her, destroying her would not be a big deal.He slowly opened his eyes, and the corners were tinged with a terrifying crimson hue. Mia was somewhat afraid. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. "Hayes..." Hayes smiled ominously at her. "Is it really that difficult to be my woman?" "It''s not...um..." Her lips were suddenly silenced by his, and her body was thrown onto the bed by him. Panic set in, and Mia struggled desperately. Hayes fiercely kissed her lips, his anger spiraling out of control. Indeed, he had never treated a woman this way. But only this woman could make him lose control like this. Sometimes he wondered if what he liked about her was not just her face and body, but also her as a person. Her lips ached from his relentless assault. Mia could only helplessly pound on his shoulders. Fear and panic brought her to tears. Perhaps it was her tears that brought him back to his senses, even if just a little. Hayes released her lips and stared at her with a dark, intense gaze. Chapter 1597 Chapter 1597 Chapter 1597 Fear was etched deeply on Mia''s face. Hayes lifted his hand, his slender fingers gently wiping away the tears from her face.He chuckled softly, his voice as tender as if he wereforting a child. "Why are you crying? Are you that afraid of me? You should know that of all people, I would never harm you.I just want you to be my woman and apany me, that''s all." Mia leaned against his chest, her voice trembling and fragile. She said, "I already have someone I like." "Jensen, right?" Mia did not respond. Hayes suddenlyughed mockingly. "Your devotion to him is quite evident.Do you think he can''t see your feelings for him? The reason he hasn''t reciprocated is simply that he doesn''t like you." It was ironic. The woman he liked was in love with another man, and that man did not even like her. Mia bit her lip gently, a pang of pain shooting through her heart. ¡®Though Hayes''s words are cruel, they are true.Jensen doesn''t like me.What can I do? Once I fall for someone, I''m stubbornly loyal" She took a deep breath, looked at the man before her, and for the first time bravely spoke her mind. "I know he has someone he likes, too.It doesn''t matter; love can''t be forced.I''m content with silently loving him." "Can''t be forced?" Hayes seemed to have heard a joke.He said solemnly, "What if I insist on forcing it?" Although he did not like coercion, perhaps one day he would make an exception for this woman. Mia looked at the man''s obsessive demeanor and felt a sudden wave of sadness.She lowered her eyes and whispered, "If you insist on forcing it, in the end, everyone will probably get hurt." Hayes stared at her intensely, his once crazed and fierce eyes suddenly bingplex. In the end, Hayes let her go. As Mia left his room, she saw him leaning against the window, smoking.He was dark, obsessive, reclusive, and ruthless. Yet, in that moment, an aura of unshakable loneliness and sorrow clung to him. Mia, with a heavy heart, returned to the backyard. As soon as she stepped into the yard, several women gathered around her. "Well, if it isn''t Mia who''s hooked up with Hayes." "What, did Hayes get tired of you in just half a day and send you back?" "Ha, don''t even joke! She might just have a pretty face, but perhaps her skills arecking.She must have angered Hayes and got sent back so quickly." Mia coldly stared at the women in front of her. "Get lost!" "Already sent back by Hayes, and you''re still acting so high and mighty." Mia clenched her fists by her sides, about tosh out at the women when suddenly, a tall and lean figure approached. The man had entered her heart during their younger years. Now, he stood taller and more imposing than before, as if he were an ethereal being with a halo, his appearance so captivating that it was hard to look away. In the brief moment when she was lost in thought, someone raised a hand to p her face. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. However, before the p couldnd, the person was yanked away and tossed aside by Jensen. The women were both shocked and furious, their jealousy toward Mia turning into madness. "Wow, so shameless! First, you seduced Hayes, and now you''re after Jensen.Why don''t you just sleep with all the men in our training camp, so they''ll all pamper you?" "Yeah, all you have is a pretty face.Who knows how dirty you must be?" Mia red at them fiercely but remained silent. Jensen narrowed his eyes slightly, coldly watching the women. "Try saying one more word." Chapter 1598 Chapter 1598 Chapter 1598 Just like them, Jensen was a trainee here. Yet, there was an innate air of nobility about him. The sight of his stern face held an intimidating power. The women dared not speak. Jensen stood beside Mia, casting a faint smile in their direction. "Has any of you seen Hayes worry about a woman? Has any of you seen Hayes embrace a woman? Even if she were truly sent away by Hayes, she would still hold a ce in his heart.If you want to remain unscathed in the McCray family''s backyard, you''d better not provoke her.She''s not someone you can afford to mess with." Although the women were reluctant to ept it, they knew Jensen spoke the truth. Of course, they understood Hayes treated this woman differently, but they were jealous and wanted to bully her. Seeing the women still ring at Mia with resentment, Jensen chuckled and snapped, "Leave, now!" The women gritted their teeth in anger, but they only looked at each other without daring to be arrogant anymore. "Hmph, we''ll go.What''s so great about her, anyway?" "Yeah, she''s already been with Hayes, after all.You''re the only one who values her." "Right, she''s just a broken toy." The women muttered a few more resentful words before finally retreating to their rooms. Jensen''s expression remained indifferent.He looked at Mia. "Are you alright?" Mia shook her head and looked up at him. There was a shimmer of tears in her eyes, but they did not fall.She asked him, "Aren''t you going to ask what Hayes did to me?" Jensen stood casually with one hand in his pocket, his gaze drifting toward a distant pond.He spoke calmly. "Hayes wouldn''t hurt you.¡± Seeing his indifferent demeanor, Mia could not help butugh¡ªa self-mocking, sorrowfulugh. Biting her lip, she asked him with a smile, "How can you be so sure he wouldn''t hurt me?" "Because he likes you."'' He spoke quietly, his face devoid of any emotion, as if nothing or no one in this ce could stir a single feeling in him. Mia felt like she was on the verge of breaking down.She grabbed his arm. "What about you? You know he likes me, but do you know who I like? Jensen, can''t you really see it? I like you, not him.It''s only you that I like." Jensen removed her hand and spoke gravely. "Though Hayes is dark and unpredictable, he''s incredibly good to you.It''s a good thing that he likes you, and you can be happy with him.At the very least, you could live a decent life here." "I don''t want that!" Mia growled. "I''ve never wanted just a decent life.What I want is you, and a pure, untainted love." Jensen stared at her, and after a while, he shook his head sadly.He scoffed. "People like us don''t deserve pure love, Mia.Don''t be foolish.For us, the most important thing is to survive." From N?velDrama.Org. Mia took two steps back, gazing at him resentfully.Sheughed through her tears. "I know you''re capable of loving someone; it is just that there is someone else in your heart.That''s why you won''t ept me.Her name''s Kisa, right?" Jensen''s expression darkened a bit, a touch of coldness emerging. Yet Mia''s smile grew even brighter, but as sheughed, the tears clinging to her eyes finally fell. "Standing before you, I''vee to realize just how unworthy I am.Yes, I''ve been struggling in this dark abyss since I was little, my soul rotting away.I can''t even have a child now, so naturally, I can''tpare to the one in your heart." Chapter 1599 Chapter 1599 Chapter 1599 Jensen''s body stiffened, his expression a mix of emotions as he looked at her. "You..." Mia took a deep breath, choking back tears. "The doctor said I can''t have children in this lifetime.Do you...do you despise me for it?" Jensen shook his head instinctively, his voice growing softer. "Don''t overthink it.Your health can still be improved." Mia smiled, lowering her eyes. "See, you clearly don''t like me, yet you stillfort me so gently.You make it so easy for me to misunderstand and to...fall for you," she said, slowly walking toward him. "Jensen..." She called his name, her hands resting on his shoulders, "Hayes said that if 1 became his woman, he''d make me the most powerful woman in the McCray family." Jensen looked at her calmly, not saying a word. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Mia smiled sadly. "But I didn''t agree.Even if he gave me a hundred chances, I wouldn''t agree." "You really are a fool,"Jensen murmured. Mia shook her head with a smile. "Yes, I am a fool.I can''t be with him while you''re in my heart.I''ve said it before; I want a pure love.I don''t want to betray myself or anyone else." Jensen averted his gaze, speaking softly. "But I have someone in my heart too, being with you would be unfair to you." "I know, that''s why I''m trying so hard to make you like me," she said, standing on her tiptoes to kiss his lips. But as their lips and tongues intertwined, he pushed her away. "You don''t look well; you should go back and rest early." Jensen spoke calmly, turning and walking toward his own room. Mia gazed at his retreating figure, disappearing into the night. After a long while, she slowly crouched down, covering her face and crying in sorrow. Even with numerous injuries in the past, she had never shed a tear. Yet now, she cried like a child¡ªheartbroken, helpless, and desperate. ¡®Hayes was right.When I find someone that I love, I start having hope for the future.I, too, want to build a happy family with my beloved one day, and have a lovely baby.But now it seems that such happiness is a luxury, one that will never be realized" At the arched entrance of the courtyard, Hayes silently watched her small figure, his face dark and inscrutable. In three days, he was to go to Linsborough for a business negotiation, which was rumored to be perilous. The other party had once been the McCray family''s mortal enemy. The cooperation was intended to bring mutual benefits, but there was no guarantee it would not be a trap. Hayes decided to select two people from the many trainees in the backyard to apany him. If they could prove their worth during this trip, they would no longer need to train and would be the McCray family''s personal bodyguards. So, early in the morning, all the trainees gathered in the courtyard. Nearly everyone had a look of anticipation on their faces, hoping Hayes would choose them. Everyone, that is, except Jensen and Mia. Mia cast a sidelong nce at Jensen, his face calm and expressionless. She lowered her eyes and sighed softly. ''Perhaps only that woman named Kisa can stir his emotions" she thought to herself. The courtyard buzzed with conversation, everyone brimming with energy. "This is a rare opportunity.When Hayes arrives, we must give our best performance." "There are only two spots, and thepetition is fierce.We don''t have the advantage of a certain someone with a beautiful face who knows how to seduce men." Chapter 1600 Chapter 1600 Chapter 1600 "Exactly, I think you all should just give up and hope to be reborn as a beautiful woman in your next life." As a few women directed sarcastic and cutting remarks at Mia, a tall, imposing figure suddenly entered the archway, surrounded by a group of bodyguards. Immediately, everyone fell silent. The bodyguards brought a chair forward. Hayes sat down, one leg crossed over the other, casually observing them.His gaze did not specifically rest on anyone.His narrow eyes nced at the crowd, and a wicked smile yed on his lips. Hayes had been handsome since childhood, and the passage of time only added to his allure. Although the women in the training camp were afraid of him, they were also infatuated with his looks. As soon as he arrived, the women could not take their eyes off him. Hayes lit a cigarette, leaned back in the chair, and took a drag. With a nonchnt smile, he said, "I need to go to Linsborough for a business negotiation and want to pick two of you to apany me.Who''s interested?" "I am, I..." "Me too." "I''m willing." Everyone eagerly raised their hands to volunteer, except for Mia and Jensen, who remained silent. Hayes''s gaze briefly passed over the two of them.He flicked the ash off his cigarette and slowly chuckled. "This journey will be extremely dangerous, and it''s very likely some of you won''t return." As he spoke, he looked at the suddenly changing faces of the trainees and casually asked, "Are you still interested?" They looked at each other, hesitating. Hayes lowered his eyes andughed softly. "Just now, didn''t you all want to go? What happened? Are you all afraid of dying now? It''s true that the training here is tough, but you have a high chance of surviving.However, apanying me on this trip is a matter of life and death." The trainees still remained silent; their heads bowed. Hayes scoffed, his gaze deliberately falling on Jensen. He spoke in a low, mysterious tone, "However, they say fortune favors the bold.If you can safely return from this journey with me, you won''t have to endure this rigorous training anymore.You can directly join my McCray Corporation and secure a position." Jensen''s hand at his side tightened ever so slightly. ''If I could leave this training camp and join the McCray Corporation to strengthen his abilities, wouldn''t I be one step closer to executing my n for vengeance? This...is indeed an excellent opportunity" he thought to himself. Not just Jensen, but the others were also tempted, once again volunteering. Hayes covered his face andughed. "Howe you all suddenly want to go again? Unfortunately, I only need two people." He leaned back, gazing at them lightly. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. "Here''s what we''ll do: you''llpete against one another, and the final two victors will apany me." And so, the courtyard became lively for a time. All the trainees divided into groups and began their matches. Mia did not want any involvement with Hayes, so she initially nned to deliberately lose. But Jensen and the others had already started theirpetitions. Watching him suddenly give it his all, taking down his opponent in just a few moves, she suddenly understood - he wanted to leave this courtyard. ¡®It makes sense.He has someone in his heart and a story behind him.He''s not destined tonguish in this courtyard forever" Silently, she tightened her hand at her side, determined to give it her all in thispetition. She wanted to leave this courtyard with him. Although he refused to ept her feelings, she did not want to give up. Even if it meant just silently following by his side, her heart would be content. Jensen won several matches in a row and rested on the side. Hayes squinted at him, a cold smile ying on his lips. Chapter 1601 Chapter 1601 Chapter 1601 Just as quickly, it was Mia''s turn topete against her opponents. Like Jensen, her moves were swift, precise, and ruthless, taking down her opponents in no time. Hayes leaned back; his expression dark as he toyed with a lighter in his hand. When Mia knocked down anotherpetitor, he suddenly said with a faint smile, "Enough.Stop." Confused, everyone looked at him. "Hayes, aren''t the matches still ongoing?" Hayes sneered at the one who asked. "Tell me, who among you can defeat these two?" His gaze swept over Jensen and Mia. Everyone fell silent, lips pressed together. Thepetition had gone on for quite some time, but they had all been defeated within just a few moves. Looking at Jensen and Mia, the pair remainedposed and poised. Hayes was speaking the truth ¡ª they could not defeat these two, even if they could not ept it. Hayes pointed his slender finger at Jensen and Mia. "Well...it''ll be you two then." ¡®No matter where Jensen goes, she''ll follow, huh? Then I shall grant her wish." No one saw the fleeting shadow in his eyes. That night, Jensen leaned against the doorway, drinking. Mia silently walked over. She looked at his mncholy expression and smiled at him. "Finally, we have a chance to leave.Why don''t you seem happy?" Jensen looked at her. "Hayes said this journey will be extremely dangerous.You don''t have to follow me.Just stay with him, and he''ll let you leave this courtyard." "Jensen!" Mia shouted his name angrily. "You may not like me, you may not ept my feelings, but please don''t arrogantly push me onto someone else, okay?" Jensen pressed his lips together, not saying another word.He only wanted what was best for her.He was ultimately going back to the Kooper family to seek vengeance, with a dark path ahead.He could not make promises to anyone, nor could he respond to anyone''s feelings. Moreover, once he returned, he would see her ¡ª the one who truly held his heart ¡ª and then, there would be no room for anyone else in his life. Therefore, he was destined to be unable to respond to Mia''s affections.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Seeing Jensen stay silent, Mia could not help but feel annoyed, snatching his drink and taking a few sips herself. Jensen nced at her but said nothing. Mia leaned against the door, gazing dreamily at the night sky. She murmured with a softugh, "It would have been better if I hadn''t met you." That way, she would not be so persistent about her feelings. If that were the case, she might have already agreed to be with Hayes, bing his woman. Unfortunately, she was a stubborn person; once she met Jensen, she could not let him go. Unless, one day, he settled down, and she no longer had the right to love him. However, she felt grateful for having met him in this lifetime, bringing a ray of light into her dark life. The next day, the bodyguards came to the courtyard to pick them up. As they were leaving, Jensen took onest look at the ce where he had lived for several years, thinking that he would probably never return. In the main building, Hayes sat in a chair, with over a dozen bodyguards standing on either side, ready to depart at any moment. Seeing such a grand disy, Jensen''s gaze could not help but darken, realizing the uing journey would indeed be extremely perilous. Kohen descended the stairs, cing a protective amulet around Hayes''s neck.He smiled. "I got this for you yesterday.It''s been blessed, ensuring your safe return." Hayes nced down at the amulet resting on his chest, offering a forced smile without speaking. Kohen suddenly sighed. "Such a vast business empire, all relying on you to support it.It''s exhausting to even think about it. My brother, why don''t I go on this trip instead?" Chapter 1602 Chapter 1602 Chapter 1602 Hayesughed and patted Kohen''s shoulder. "You''re still too young and inexperienced; it''d be even more dangerous for you to go.While I''m away, take care of the family andpany affairs.I''ll find opportunities to train you when I return." Kohen sighed. "Alright." Seeing his disappointed expression, Hayes could not help but tease. "If I were to have an unfortunate ident on this trip, the entire burden of the family would fall on your shoulders, and I''m afraid you wouldn''t have a moment to spare." Annoyed by his words, Kohen replied, "You''re about to leave, can you not say such ominous things? You''re scaring me." Hayes chuckled and shook his head. "Fine, I won''t scare you anymore.But you should be stronger too.If I''m no longer around one day, at least you''ll be able to protect the family." Kohen rolled his eyes. ''He said he wouldn''t scare me, but he keeps saying ominous things!'' He shot a re at his older brother before turning to Jensen and Mia. From N?velDrama.Org. "Protect your boss, understood?" "Yes!" Jensen and Mia replied in unison. However, Jensen furrowed his brow, a strange feeling of unease settling in his heart. Reaching Linsborough by ne took only two hours. As soon as the ne touched down, they were greeted by a weing party.Hahaha, Mr.Hayes, long time no see," said a man in his thirties, leading the group. With elongated eyes and a hawkish nose, his smile exuded a sinister aura. "Curtis is quite courteous, sending his beloved grandson to personally wee me." The man with the sinister face was named Kendall Burton, the heir of the Burton Group. The Burton Group used to be a fierce rival of McCray Corporation, but suddenly expressed a desire to cooperate, raising suspicions about their intentions. However, if the two groups could truly coborate, it would elevate McCray Corporation''s business to new heights. "You are an honored guest, so of course, I had to personallye and greet you.My grandfather originally nned toe, but I stopped him, as you know, he is getting on in years." Hayes smirked. "So, will you be the one directly discussing the deal with me?" "Yes, to be honest, my grandfather is too old and shouldn''t be handling these matters anymore." Hayes chuckled without a response. Kendall studied him for a few seconds, his gaze suddenly drawn to Mia standing behind him. "Oh, Hayes, bringing such a beautiful woman with you on a business trip? You sure know how to enjoy yourself while working." Kendall tried to touch Mia''s hand, but as soon as his hand brushed her face, a sudden pain shot through his wrist. Mia had grabbed his wrist, bending it into a terrifying angle. "Damn! Let go, you wench!" Hayes slightly curled his lips, reprimanding Mia. "Let Mr.Burton go.He is our partner this time, and we can''t afford to offend him." Mia emotionlesslyplied and pushed Kendall away. Kendall rubbed his sore wrist, ring at Mia venomously. "This little wench is quite feisty, isn''t she, Hayes? So, this is your taste." Hayesughed softly. "Women, after all, are more interesting when they''re spicy, right? If you like this kind, I will have her apany you next time." Mia''s face changed subtly, but she did not show too much emotion. Jensen furrowed his brow, looking at Hayes.He was suddenly having trouble understanding this man. Perhaps people like them were born heartless, and to them women were just a source of interest, not emotion. Kendall burst intoughter. "Sounds good, a woman that Hayes has had a taste of must be something special." Chapter 1603 Chapter 1603 Chapter 1603 As he spoke, Kendall stared at Mia with ill intent, making her feel disgusted. Hayes nced at Mia and smiled at Kendall. From N?velDrama.Org. "Alright, Kendall, if you keep looking at her like that, you might scare her away." "She wouldn''t dare! Hahaha..." Kendallughed wildly and maliciously. Mia clenched her fists at her sides, resisting the urge to eliminate this man right then and there. Kendall booked them into the best hotel in the city. After dropping them off, he took his leave. Hayes sat in their suite, smoking. Apart from Jensen and Mia in the room, the other bodyguards stood guard outside. Mia''s expression soured because of Kendall''s behavior, but she did not dare say anything. Jensen looked at Hayes and spoke gravely. "I fear that this coboration might be a trap." Hayes nced at him andughed. "Let''s hear it." "From Kendall''s tone, it''s clear he doesn''t respect his grandfather.I suspect Curtis may be under house arrest.This so-called '' coboration¡¯ might be under Kendall''s personal intentions, and he''s likely using it to target you." Hayes exhaled a ring of smoke,ughing coldly. "To target me, he would have to be worthy." Jensen warned. "Please don''t underestimate him, Hayes.This is his territory, after all." "Oh? Are you afraid?" Hayes stared at him with amusement. Mia could not help but interject. ''We''ve always walked the line between life and death; we''re not afraid.Jensen''s only saying this to remind you to not underestimate the enemy." Hayes looked at the two of them, his smile chilling. No one knew the true purpose of his journey.He might have been somewhat unscrupulous, but he did not regret his decision. "It''s gettingte; you can go," Hayes said indifferently to Jensen. Jensen nodded, turning to walk out. Mia instinctively followed. Hayes suddenly smiled at her. "I only told him to leave, not you." "Hayes..." Mia looked at Jensen, but the man did not even hesitate, walking straight out. The door closed, and Mia became tense.She nced at Hayes nervously. "Hayes, do you have any other instructions?" "Go lie down on the bed." Mia was startled. "Hayes, I..." Hayes suddenly stood up, twirling a strand of Mia''s long hair and smiling casually. "Don''t worry.I won''t do anything to you.I just want you to get some rest." Mia''s body remained rigid. ''''No, it''s not necessary.You should rest instead." Hayes chuckled softly. "If you don''t sleep well, how will you have the energy to entertain Mr.Burton in theing days?" Mia''s hands clenched at her sides. ''So he wasn''t joking with Kendall; he really ns to give me to him" Mia stared at him with dark, deep eyes. "Hayes, is this your punishment for me?" She had rejected him, so now he was punishing her.Hayes suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist, speaking lightly. "Yes, it''s your punishment.So, do you regret not bing my woman?" Mia bit her lip, remaining silent. Hayes pulled her closer, whispering softly in her ear, "Tell me, do you regret it?" "I don''t regret it," Mia said, each word deliberate. Hayes''s gaze instantly grew cold. ''Even in this situation, she doesn''t regret rejecting me. Does she truly despise me so much that she would rather die than be with me?'' Mia broke free from his embrace and looked at him seriously. Chapter 1604 Chapter 1604 Chapter 1604 "Hayes, I''ve always believed that having one man in your heart while being with another is disloyal and unfair.I never refused to be your woman because I disliked you, but because I didn''t want to let you down." Hayes gazed at her deeply, a hint of tenderness seeping into his cold eyes. Mia continued. "You may be cold and aloof, but you''re a good person." Hayes suddenly seemed to have heard a joke.He tilted his head and said sarcastically, "It''s the first time someone''s ever called me a good person." "It''s because they don''t understand you.In my eyes, you are a good person who loves your brother and shoulders the responsibility of your family''s honor.You''re just burdened with too much and can''t be your true self." Hayes felt a tremor in his heart.He looked at her and shook his head with a wry smile. "Do you think by saying these things, you can stop me from giving you away?" Mia shook her head. "If my goal was to please you and dissuade you from giving me away, I wouldn''t say these things; I would just agree to be your woman.So, Hayes, everything I''ve just said is truly what is in my heart." "What''s in your heart?" Hayes murmured, thenughed strangely. As heughed, a sh of self-loathing crossed his brow. At this moment, in front of Mia, he genuinely recognized his own despicable nature.But he could do nothing. He wanted her to willingly be his woman, so he had to remove the object of her ¡®I affection. He turned away and said coolly, "Go to bed." Mia pressed her lips together and did not say anything more. Shey down on the bed, fully clothed, leaving arge space beside her. Hayes sat back down in his chair and smoked. His expression was somber and tinged with mncholy. When Mia saw that he had no intention of joining her, she breathed a sigh of relief. ¡®In truth, Hayes really is a good person. At least he isn''t forcing me to do anything or wishing for my death" The woman on the bed turned over, and soon, even breathing filled the room. Hayes quietly watched her slender silhouette, a mocking smile tugging at the corner of his lips. ¡®Perhaps in a few days, she won''t think I''m a good person anymore. 1 For several days in a row, Hayes left early and returnedte. Each time he went out, he took only his bodyguards and Jensen, leaving Mia behind. She felt uneasy but did not dare to ask questions. A master''s business was never a subject for them to pry into. As long as they returned safely every day, her heart was able find some measure offort. Hayes shared a bed with her every night but never made any advances. Each time she awoke, they were already gone. She wanted to find an opportunity to ask Jensen about the situation, but she never had a chance to interact with him. Hayes forbade her from leaving the room, fearing danger. And since Jensen moved in, he had not set foot in the room again. So, she never saw him. One day, Hayes brought her a ss of milk. He said, "You''ve been worrying so muchtely that yourplexion has suffered.Drink this milk and get some sleep early." Mia stared at the ss of milk, feeling inexplicably anxious.He observed her hesitation andughed. "What? Are you afraid that I poisoned the milk?" Mia shook her head. "Of course not." With that, she picked up the ss and drained the milk in one gulp. ''After all, if Hayes wanted me dead, he could have taken my life directly.He has no need for such underhanded tactics." This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Hayes smiled and gently stroked her long hair. "Good girl.This way, no matter what happens, you won''t feel any pain." Chapter 1605 Chapter 1605 Chapter 1605 A sinking feeling gripped Mia''s heart, and she looked at him anxiously. "What do you mean? Hayes, what''s going on?" Just after asking, she felt a wave of dizziness. The man before her blurred, and a terrible premonition surged within her. She clung to Hayes''s clothing with all her strength. "Why? Wh-What did you put in the milk? Are you¡­ are you going to hand me over to Kendall, Hayes?" At the end of her words, Mia''s voice trembled with a hint of tears. She clutched his clothes tightly, as if grasping for a lifeline. Hayes gently pulled her into his embrace. "Don''t be afraid, you''ll be fine after a good night''s sleep." Mia''s consciousness began to blur, and even as she fellpletely unconscious, she still held onto his clothes. Hayes looked down at her hand, and after a moment, he embraced her tightly. Resting his chin on the top of her head, he murmured, "I''ve done everything to win you over.How could I bear to give you away?" Mia had a dream filled with bloodshed. She saw Jensen lying on the ground, covered in blood, and no matter how she called to him, he would not open his eyes. She felt intense fear, suffocation, and despair in the dream. Finally, she woke up crying, her heart aching, and a cold sweat covered her back. She stared nkly at the ceiling above, taking a while to realize she was in a moving vehicle. The car swayed as it sped along. Remembering the milk she drank before passing out, her heart sank, and she quickly sat up. "Awake?" Hayes''s low chuckle sounded in her ear, and Mia hurriedly looked over to see him leaning against the car door, a faint smile on his face. A small wet patch from her tears was on his leg, where she had been lying moments ago. Straightening his clothes, he smiled and asked her, "What sad dream did you have that made you cry like that?" Tears still stained Mia''s face. She wiped her face and looked out the window. It was nearly dusk, and the surrounding scenery was unfamiliar and remote.She furrowed her brow slightly. "Where are we, and where are we going?" "We''re on our way back to the McCray residence." "Back to the McCray residence?" From N?velDrama.Org. Mia was puzzled. ''So we are returning to the residence?'' She asked, "What about the cooperation with the Burton family?" "It didn''t work out," Hayes said with a faint smile, his eyes calm and untroubled. Mia pressed her lips together, not saying anything else.But she could not shake an odd feeling. ''If he simply wanted to bring me back to the McCray residence, why did he need to drug me?'' She nced around and realized there was only a driver in the car besides them. "Where are the others? The bodyguards who followed him and Jensen?! The dream she had earlier weighed heavily on her mind.She looked at the man beside her. "Hayes...where are the others you brought with you?" "You actually...want to ask about Jensen, don''t you?" Mia did not respond. Hayes took a drag from his cigarette, chuckled, and remained silent. Mia grew anxious. "Hayes, why is it just us? Where did they go? And why did you drug me? What on earth happened?" Her mind was filled with confusion, and the uncertainty filled her with fear and unease. Hayes silently observed her worried expression and, after a moment, asked with a gentle smile, "What would you do if Jensen were dead?" Mia''s body tensed, and the dream she had earlier shed through her mind.Her face turned pale as she shook her head. "How could that be? He was fine.How could he just die?" Hayes merely smiled without answering. Mia''s eyes reddened as she stared at him. "What did you make him do?" Chapter 1606 Chapter 1606 Chapter 1606 Hayes remained silent, his expression indifferent, as if Jensen''s life meant no more to him than a de of grass. Mia broke down. Suddenly lunging at him, she fiercely grabbed his cor and screamed, "Answer me! What happened? What happened to him?" Hayes looked at her coldly. "Do you know what you''re doing right now?" "I don''t care!" Mia shrieked. With the only light in her life gone, she cared about nothing, not even her own life, let alone respecting authority. Hayes coldly brushed her hands away. Seeing her in such despair, he suddenlyughed darkly. "Do you really want to know what happened?" Mia stared at him intensely, waiting for him to continue. Hayes leaned back and said with a light chuckle, "In truth, I knew this coboration was a trap from the beginning, yet I still came personally.Do you know why?" He looked at Mia and spoke word by word. "Because I wanted to get rid of two people, Kendall and...Jensen." Mia''s body stiffened. "Why? Why did you want to get rid of Jensen? "Because of you." Hayesughed mysteriously. "As long as he is alive, he is the only one in your heart, isn''t he?" Mia was speechless with shock. She had always thought Hayes wanted her as his woman out of interest in her body or for his own amusement. But she never imagined that his feelings for her could be so twisted and possessive. Hayes smoked his cigarette, a cold, shallow smile on his face. "Kendall is lustful, always urging me to send you to his mansion.So I found a woman with a simr figure to yours and sent her over, telling Jensen that I had drugged you and given you to Kendall." Mia''s lips trembled. "And...what happened next?" "Speaking of Jensen, he is truly an enigma.Despite not being in love with you, he went mad trying to save you when he heard the news," Hayes said as he nced at his wristwatch. "By now, he should still be struggling at the Burton residence, or¡­ he might already be dead." "No! That''s not true!" Mia screamed, attempting to get out of the car. ''''He won''t die. I need to save him; I have to save him..." Hayes watched her calmly as she frantically pounded on the car door.He spoke indifferently. "The Burton residence is known for its tight security and numerous guards. Even if you go, you won''t be able to save him." "What does it matter?!" Mia red at him with hatred. "Even if he dies, I will never love you." Hayes looked down andughed, his amusement chilling.He said softly, "I know.That''s why I''m telling you all this.I don''t care if you hate or despise me; it doesn''t matter.I''ve never been a good person, and if I can''t have something, I don''t want others to have it either." Mia gripped the car door handle tightly and dered, word for word, "I want to go to the Burton residence." Hayes shook his head. "I''m afraid it''s toote for that." "I want to go to the Burton residence!" Mia stubbornly screamed. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Hayesughed lightly, pressing his fingers to his forehead. "Although my intention was to get rid of him, I sent all of my bodyguards with him as well.Whether he returns or not is up to fate.Even if you go, it won''t make much of a difference." No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt a chill on his neck. Mia had produced a dagger from somewhere and held it against his throat. Hayes''s eyes grew cold. "What are you going to do?" "Turn the car around.Head to the Burton residence," Mia growled coldly. Hayes narrowed his eyes menacingly. "You dare?!" As his words fell, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and something warm trickling down his throat. Chapter 1607 Chapter 1607 Chapter 1607 "Take me to the Burton residence!" Mia demanded emotionlessly. Hayes clenched his fists, and after a long pause, he finally sighed. "Turn around, head to the Burton residence." Within the grounds of the Burton residence, Jensen stood with one foot on Kendall''s lifeless body, his cold gaze fixed on the surrounding Burton family guards. All the men who hade with him had been sacrificed, leaving him alone. Jensen was injured in several ces, covered in blood, but luckily none of the wounds were fatal.He had found the woman Hayes had sent, but she was not Mia. While angered, Jensen was also secretly relieved. "If Hayes wanted us to eliminate Kendall, he could have directly ordered us.But he deliberately used Mia to make me fight harder and face death" Jensen had a fairly good idea of the various reasons behind it all. At that moment, he knew there was no escape. Besides anger, his heart was filled with intense regret.He had not returned to the Kooper family to take revenge, nor had he seen Kisa again. From N?velDrama.Org. To die like this was something he could not ept. His knife was covered in blood, dripping drop by drop. He had initially nned to capture Kendall and break out with his men, but Kendall, as dimwitted and cowardly as he was, had panicked at the sight of the knife. Tripping over a vine, Kendall had identally impaled himself on the de. With Kendall dead, the Burton family guards had rushed in and began hacking indiscriminately. Jensen''s men had all been killed by the chaos of shing des. ncing at his fallenrades, Jensen felt a chill in his heart. ¡®Am I going to die like this too?¡¯ The surrounding guards, knives in hand, slowly closed in. Jensen tightened his grip on his weapon, his entire body tensed, ready for battle. Suddenly, two guards charged at him, shing their des. Jensen swiftly countered one of the attackers with a twist of his knife but was stabbed in the shoulder by another. The Burton family guards were numerous, and Jensen found himself surrounded. As they all advanced on him, a car suddenly burst onto the scene. The car sped straight toward the guards, who scattered in all directions. It came to a halt beside Jensen. Mia urgently called out to him, "Get in the car!" Jensen, too surprised to react, quickly opened the door and jumped in. But just as the car was turning around to make its escape, another vehicle came barreling toward them, crashing into their car head-on. Their vehicle spun around in ce before stalling. The driver hurriedly tried to restart it, but it was toote, as the other car rammed into them again, this time hitting the side. Their car rolled over, the shattered ss from the windows scattering on the ground. The surrounding guards closed in on them. Mia''s face turned pale. "What do we do?" Hayes responded coldly. "We have no choice but to fight." Jensen nced at Hayes, feeling a mix of emotions. ¡®It seems Hayes really does love Mia deeply, or else he wouldn''t havee back to face death with her" Mia and Jensen quickly exited the car. Back-to-back, they stood defiantly against the surrounding guards. They had only exchanged a few blows with the guards when the attacking car drove at them once more, heading straight for the two of them. The car sped up so fast it did not even spare its own men, running over a guard before barreling toward them. Mia did not have time to dodge; her mind went nk for a moment before she suddenly felt a powerful force pushing her away. Not only her, but Jensen was pushed away as well. There was a pained grunt, and Mia felt a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach, her entire body tensing as she looked over. Chapter 1608 Chapter 1608 Chapter 1608 Hayes was sent flying by the car, his body crashing into a wall before bouncing back. Mia''s entire body felt ice-cold as she trembled, yelling, "Hayes!" "Kill them all!" A hoarse, aged voice suddenly rang out from the entrance.It was Curtis.He looked at Kendall''s lifeless body on the ground, his eyes filled with rage, shouting, Run them over! I want them to join my grandson in death!" "Ah!" Jensen roared, disregarding the guards'' swinging knives, and like a madman, charged at Curtis. Curtis''s face changed, desperately pulling a nearby guard in front of him as a shield. But it was useless. Jensen, like a crazed beast, attacked anyone in his path. Soon, his knife was held against Curtis''s throat. Curtis trembled all over. "Wh-What do you want?" Jensen, covered in blood with stters on his face, looked like a demon that had emerged from a battleground.He grabbed Curtis and held him hostage in front of him. "Let us go!" "Don''t even think about it!" Curtis retorted angrily. "You killed my grandson; none of you will leave here alive." "Fine, then you can join your grandson first," Jensen coldly replied, preparing to act. Hayesy motionless on the ground, covered in blood. At that moment, Jensen was not thinking about survival. If Hayes died, he and Mia would not have a good oue even if they made it back alive. Besides, Hayes had ended up like this because of him and Mia. In the end, he owed Hayes his life. Just as his knife touched Curtis''s throat, Curtis suddenly screamed. "Stop, I-I''ll let you go.I''ll let you go." As he spoke, he looked at the surrounding guards. "All of you, back off, back off!" Following Curtis''smand, all the guards retreated to the side. Jensen carried Curtis over to Mia. "Take the knife.I''ll get Hayes into the car first." With tears in her eyes, Mia nodded. She grabbed Curtis and quickly held the knife to his throat. At this moment, Hayes was unconscious. Jensen gritted his teeth as he carried Hayes into the car. Seeing the blood on Hayes''s body, he felt a heaviness in his heart. He took the driver''s seat and told Mia, "Get in the car quickly." Mia hurriedly dragged Curtis into the car. Curtis screamed in desperation. "What are you trying to do? I already let you go; why are you still holding me hostage?" "Shut up!" Mia growled. Seeing Hayes unconscious, she wished she could tear this old man into pieces. Jensen quickly started the car, driving at breakneck speed. It was not until they left the city limits that Mia opened the door and kicked Curtis out with one foot. Mia continued to cry. She did not even dare to touch Hayes. She looked at Jensen driving in front of her. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. "Is Hayes...going to die?" Jensen remained silent. Mia tried to stop the bleeding from Hayes''s wounds with gauze, but the blood just would not stop.She frantically asked, How long until we get back to the McCray residence?" Jensen nced at the setting sun on the horizon, speaking solemnly. "By nightfall." They returned to the McCray residence a little past nine in the evening. The lights in the residence were bright. Kohen, with bloodshot eyes, looked at his bloodied older brother. He took a step forward, trembling as he called out, "Hayes..." But there was no response. Panic-stricken, Kohen clutched his brother''s hand. "No, bro, wake up, bro..." The doctor arrived soon after. Wiping away his tears, Kohen looked coldly at Jensen and Mia, who knelt on the ground. Chapter 1609 Chapter 1609 Chapter 1609 "What on earth happened?" Jensen did not speak. Mia choked out. The coboration between the Burton family and the McCray family was a trap. We were ambushed by the Burton family, and Hayes...he was hit by a car trying to save us." "Damn it!" Kohen cursed under his breath, abruptly pulling a knife from a nearby bodyguard and pointing it at them. "What are your lives worth? Why would my brother save you? Why?" Mia bit her lip, tears streaming down her face. ''It''s my fault.I wanted to save Jensen, but I should have gone alone.I shouldn''t have dragged Hayes into this.He seemed cold-blooded and heartless, and I never thought that he would risk his life for me.Why was he so good to me?'' "Kohen..." Suddenly, a weak cry rang out. Hayes had awakened. Kohen hurriedly moved closer, gripping Hayes''s hand. "Bro!" Hayes''s face was deathly pale.He did not look at Kohen, but instead turned his gaze to Mia.His eyes were calm.He saw Mia''s red-rimmed eyes and the tears lingering there, and a self-mocking smile spread across his face.He never expected that Mia would shed tears for him too. He knew that it must be because he saved her, and she felt guilty. But no matter how heartbroken or tearful she was for him; it was only because he had saved her. There were no feelings involved.He understood that. "Mr.McCray, your brother...he has been severely injured..." "What do you mean by ''severely injured''?" Kohen suddenly grabbed the doctor''s cor, yelling, "I want you to save him! I want you to heal him now!" The doctor wiped the sweat from his brow, his voice full of sorrow. "Your brother''s legs were crushed in the ident.Even if he survives, I''m afraid...I''m afraid he will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life." "Nonsense!" Kohen suddenly threw a fierce punch at the doctor''s jaw. "My brother''s legs can''t be crippled.If you can''t heal him, I''ll find another doctor.I don''t believe there isn''t a single doctor in this world who can cure him!" However,pared to Kohen''s grief and anger, Hayes seemed particrly calm. After hearing the doctor''s diagnosis, there was not even a trace of emotion on his face. Mia looked at him, and the tears she had been holding back finally fell.She ced her hand on the ground, choking out. "I''m sorry...I''m so sorry..." Hayes smiled faintly. "If you don''t like me, there is no need to be so upset." Mia shook her head, sobbing uncontrobly. Hayes mocked himself. "Although I saved you both, I also put Jensen in danger first.In the end, this oue is my karma, isn''t it?" "It''s not like that.It''s not..." Mia shook her head, choking on her words. Hayes''s eyes were devoid of life as he looked at her, his heart filled with sorrow. After a long moment, he suddenly said to Kohen, "Let them go." Mia looked at him in disbelief. Hayes smiled at her. "You''re free now.You can be with the one you truly love, without any reservations.Are you happy?" Mia choked, too heartbroken to speak.She crawled over to him, her face full of grief. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. "I won''t leave.Let me take care of you." Hayes scoffed, looking at Kohen with difficulty. "Let them leave.I...don''t want to see them, not ever again." In the end, Mia and Jensen were driven out of the McCray family. Kohen, smoking a cigarette, looked coldly at the man and woman before him. "Everyone says my brother is cold-blooded and heartless, but in reality, it''s you two who are heartless.He''s borne too many burdens since childhood, and though he deeply loved a woman, he never dared to show it.You may go.Honestly, I really wanted to make you both pay for what happened to his legs, but he insisted on letting you leave." Chapter 1610 Chapter 1610 Chapter 1610 Filled with guilt, Mia stepped forward, but Kohen suddenly pulled out a handgun and aimed it at her. "Get out!" Jensen pulled Mia back. He looked at the cold man before him. It was this man who had taken him in years ago. At that time, Kohen was young, a carefree and privileged young man. Now, he seemed to have grown up all at once, his eyes colder and more distant. Jensen said with a troubled expression, "If you ever need me in the future, don''t hesitate to find me." Kohen sneered coldly; pain etched in his brow.He mocked himself. "I never should have taken you in back then.In the end, it was I who harmed my own brother." Jensen pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, only feeling an unbearable pain in his heart.It was the first time he felt he owed someone. That sense of indebtedness suffocated him. "Get out, and don''t let me see you two ever again." On that night, Jensen and Mia left the McCray family. As a result of Hayes''s ordeal, the McCray family underwent tremendous changes. Yearster, Jensen met Kohen again. The once- privileged young man had grown into a steady man capable of bearing the family business on his own. After leaving the McCray family, Jensen did not n to directly return to the Kooper family for revenge, as he had no power or influence. Going back to the Kooper family at this time would only result in being sent away to a foreignnd once more. What he needed now was a strong support. And just at that moment, his father, who had abandoned him for true love years ago, suddenly appeared. His father had changed his appearance and now went by the name Adrien Tanner. Jensen despised this man he called his father, yet he longed for the love of a father he never had. Adrien had flourished in this foreignnd, and he had said to Jensen, "Shall we return and take our revenge together?" His father offered him power, wealth, and the opportunity to make aname for himself in this foreign land. For a time, Jensen believed that his father had some affection for him after all. Butter, he realized that the humiliation and suffering he had endured in this foreignnd were all thanks to his father. Adrien''s n was to fuel his hatred for the Kooper family and turn him into a lethal weapon for exacting revenge on Gilbert. But he understood this far toote. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. After leaving the McCray family, Mia had no one to rely on. She had been apart from Jensen for a year, and because of her guilt toward Hayes, she intended to forget him. But the year not only failed to make her forget Jensen, but her longing for him grew stronger with each passing day. In the end, she went to find him. By that time, he had already be a dominant figure in the city. But when she found Jensen''s residence, he refused to see her. She waited outside his vi for three days, and in the end, she was met only by his butler. The butler handed her a check and said, "My boss wants you to live well in the future and find a good man with simr interests to settle down with." Mia looked at the check andughed. Sheughed so wildly that even tears seemed to burst out. There were so many digits on the check she could not count them all. But what she wanted was not this. ¡®Did he think I suddenly came to him just for money?" Crying andughing, she took the check. But the next moment, she tore it to pieces. She did not leave but stubbornly waited outside the vi for another four days. Even if they could never be together in this lifetime, even if he refused to ept her, she wanted to see him at least once. Just one glimpse would be enough for her. But she never saw Jensen emerge. He was determined not to see her. Sheughed at herself, hysterically. It was at this moment that she finally understood just how much he despised her. As she became disheartened and prepared to leave, a stranger suddenly appeared before her. Chapter 1611 Chapter 1611 Chapter 1611 Adrien Tanner, Jensen''s father, stood before Mia with a warm smile. "My son is truly awkward when ites to matters of the heart.He''s even willing to refuse such a beautiful young woman like you." Mia stared at him, her tears suddenly streaming down her face. "I only wanted to see him, even if it was to face rejection.Wouldn''t it better to say it clearly to my face?" "Yes, it would." Adrien agreed. "But standing here stubbornly won''t help, because he left on a business trip a couple of days ago." Mia''s heart ached even more, realizing that Jensen had avoided using the front door just to evade her. Adrien continued. "I have a way to make hime to you willingly, but it depends on whether you''re willing to cooperate." Mia nodded. "What do I have to do?" Adrien motioned to his bodyguard, who handed him a ss of wine. "Drink this," he said. Mia furrowed her brow, hesitant. Adrien gently patted her shoulder, like a father would. "Don''t be afraid.I won''t harm you.From the moment I saw you, I liked you and genuinely hope you can be my daughter-inw.Mia bit her lip.In her current situation, she had nothing to loseWithout any further hesitation, she lifted the ss and drank its contents. Adrien smiled. "Jensen has recently encountered a difficult situation.Are you willing to help him?" Mia nodded. "Of course." "Good, thene with me," Adrien said, leading the way. Mia climbed into Adrien''s car. He had been as gentle and kind as a loving father, and considering he was Jensen''s father, Mia naturally rxed and developed a fondness and respect for him. Clutching her hands tightly, she said, "In recent years, Jensen has really suffered a lot, narrowly escaping death on several asions. Fortunately, everything has gotten better for him now, and he has his father''s care and protection. I''m truly happy for him. But you have to believe me when I say I didn''te looking for him because of money." Her voice choked on thest sentence. Adrien took a drag from his cigarette, casually replying, "It''s good that he''s alive." Mia, still immersed in the sadness of being dismissed by Jensen with a check, did not notice the tone in Adrien''s voice. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. The car continued on its journey, stopping in front of a luxurious mansion. As Mia stepped out, she nced inside. "Is Jensen in there?" Adrien lovingly stroked her long hair. "You''ll know once you go inside." Mia asked, "What do I need to do to help Jensen? Is it difficult?" "You''re so beautiful; it won''t be difficult for you," Adrien replied with a meaningful smile. Mia, focused on helping Jensen, did not notice the strangeness in Adrien''s tone. She still naively thought she could finally help Jensen and get closer to him. But, when she entered the mansion, Jensen was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a man in his thirties, tall and slender, wearing gold-rimmed sses and impably dressed like a refined gentleman. The man''s gaze, as he looked her up and down, made her extremely ufortable, especially the sinister and yful curve of his lips. She instinctively took two steps back, only to be stopped by Adrien''s hand on her back. Adrien leaned in and whispered, "Didn''t you say you wanted to help Jensen?" Confused, Mia looked at him. "What exactly do I have to do?" "It''s simple.Charm that man." Adrien pointed to the man they had just encountered, speaking nonchntly, "He has a particr fondness for beautiful women like you.With you involved, sess is guaranteed." Chapter 1612 Chapter 1612 Mia''s face changed instantly. " You... you know I like Jensen, why would you..." "Heh, if you like Jensen, shouldn''t you be willing to do anything for him? If you can''t even do this, how can you im to love him?" "I won''t do it! Doing this would be betraying Jensen. I would risk my life for him, but I can''t do this." Adrien stared at her flushed face and gently chuckled, his words loaded with meaning. "Aren''t you feeling all hot and bothered yet? Mia frowned. Her body was indeed getting hotter and more agitated. ''Why would Adrien ask this? Could it be the drink...?'' As the thought crossed her mind, her heart sank. Seeing Adrien''s cold expression and the man''s yful smile, Mia turned and ran. But before she could take more than a few steps, she was dragged back. Weakened by the drink, her desperate struggles were futile. As the man pressed her down, ying with her like a toy, she closed her eyes in despair. She thought she could never face Jensen again. With a bitterugh, she wondered if Jensen would even care if she died today. Just as she resigned herself to a desperate struggle with the man, a bodyguard was suddenly thrown across the room. She hurriedly looked over and immediately spotted Jensen. The man walked in against the light, more dazzling than an angel. Jensen''s eyes were tinged with red as he furiously fought the bodyguards blocking his way. The man on top of Mia was knocked to the ground by Jensen''s fist. Struggling to get up from the couch, Mia could not find her footing and fell into Jensen''s arms. Jensen held her tightly. "Are you alright?" Mia nodded,ughing bitterly. "You... you finally agreed to see me. " Her voice had an unnaturally seductive tone. Jensen''s eyes darkened, and he coldly looked at Adrien. Adrien smiled, casually saying, "I was only trying to help your rtionship along." Jensen did not say another word, scooping Mia up and rushing out. His car sped away, determined to get Mia to the hospital as quickly as possible. But halfway there, a pair of soft hands suddenly wrapped around him. Jensen''s heart sank as he removed her hands, only to feel a burning heat. She was as hot as if she were on fire. The hands he removed came back around, and Mia even leaned in from behind to kiss the side of his neck. Jensen grunted and quickly pulled the car over onto a nearby beach. He held Mia''s hands and said in a deep voice, Hold on just a little longer. We''re going to the hospital." Mia bit her lip, tears streaming down her face. "You... you should just kill me." Jensen sighed softly. "You know I could never hurt you." Mia shook her head frantically, her mind in turmoil. She did not want to think about anything else; she just wanted to be closer to the man before her ¡ª closer, and even closer still. Her wild advances momentarily made Jensen forget their past. The two indulged themselves within the car. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. When Mia woke again, she was still in the car, but Jensen was outside. He leaned against the hood, smoking. Mia put on the clothes covering her body and, bracing her aching body, stepped out of the car. In the darkness of the night, she could not see the man''s face clearly. But she sensed a hint of loneliness and guilt emanating from him. ¡®Who is he feeling guilty toward? The person in his heart?" Heartbroken, she pursed her lips and walked over. Chapter 1613 Chapter 1613 "Let''s forget everything that just happened,'' Mia said. Jensen looked up at her. In the moonlight, his eyes were deep andplex, profound and unfathomable. Mia tried to muster a smile. "You don''t have to feel burdened. Ina way, I forced you. And you must have always disliked me. Actually, I didn''te to you for money; I just wanted to see you. Now that Ihave, I should go. Jensen, from now on... take care." With that, she walked away, fearing that if she lingered any longer, she would not be able to leave. But after only a few steps, she was embraced from behind. Jensen''s voice was low and hoarse. "Stay with me." Mia trembled at his words. Jensen continued. From N?velDrama.Org. "But I still have so many things to do and someone in my heart I can''t let go of. I don''t know... when I will be able to give you a satisfactory answer. If you don''t want to stay with me without any promises or guarantees, you can¡ª" "I''m willing," Mia blurted out, ''''as long as I can be with you, I don''t care about anything else." Jensen gave a bitter smile and held her tight. He thought to himself, she was a stubborn and easily contented foolish woman. But Mia believed that as long as she truly gave her all, one day she would receive a satisfactory answer. Time passed like a fleeting cloud, and in the blink of an eye, several years had gone by. Mia silently watched the man on the bed, dead drunk and unconscious. She caressed his brow and spoke softly to herself with a smile. "Can you give mea satisfactory answer now? Or are you going to find her?" The next day, when Jensen awoke, Mia had already prepared breakfast. She enthusiastically invited him to join her. Jensen hesitated for a few seconds before going to her. Last night he had a dream filled with countless memories of his time in Raworth. In the dream, there was no Kisa, only Mia and the McCray family. Mia served him a bowl of porridge, smiling as she said, "You can''t keep drinking like that, you know? It''s terrible for your stomach." "Alright," Jensen replied nonchntly, bowing his head to sip the porridge. Mia looked at him for a moment before cing a roll on his te. ¡°You really don''t know how to take care of yourself, do you? What will you do in the future?" Jensen furrowed his brow slightly, sensing that Mia was somehow different today. He did not speak, choosing instead to eat his breakfast in silence. Mia continued to gaze at him, and after a long pause, she said, " Later, I''m nning to go back to Raworth." Jensen instinctively looked up at her. Mia gently smiled. "I''m going back to the McCray residence in Raworth to visit Hayes." Upon hearing this, Jensen lowered his head and continued eating. After a while, he calmly said, "I''ll go with you." Mia was taken aback. "You''re not going to find Kisa? She and Gilbert have split up, and now''s your chance." Jensen leaned back in his chair, replying, "Even if they''re divorced, I never had a chance, and I never will in this lifetime." "Oh." Mia responded quietly. But in her heart, she was overjoyed. She had never expected Jensen would be willing to visit Hayes with her. They arrived at the McCray residence in Raworth in the evening. It was Kohen''s country wife, Eylul, who received them. Mia had heard that Kohen looked down on his wife and despised her even more because of their arranged marriage. Now, seeing Eylul''s slightly protruding belly, Mia could not help but chuckle inwardly. ¡®Men will be men.¡¯ Eylul poured them a ss of water and smiled warmly at them. " Kohen will be back soon. Please, have a seat." Mia licked her lips and said, "Actually, this time we''re here to see Hayes." Chapter 1614 Chapter 1614 Chapter 1614 Mentioning Hayes, Eylul''s expression becameplex. ''''Hayes is reclusive and doesn''t like to see people. Only a single old servant has been taking care of him all these years. I only met him once, back when I married Kohen." Mia''s heart ached, recalling the enigmatic yet deeply emotional man. She could not help but feel a lump in her throat. "How''s his health?" Mia asked. Eylul replied, "His health is fine, but his legs have remained the same. Kohen has found top orthopedic experts for him and even sought out Kelvin Hoover from Calthon, but he refuses treatment. For so many years, he hasn''t even stepped outside the backyard." "You mean he''s been living in the backyard all this time?" Jensen asked gravely. Eylul nodded. "Yes, Kohen wanted him to live in the main house, but he refused. He only likes staying in the backyard. Moreover, the room he stays in used to be..." Eylul nced at Mia. She had heard that Mia used to live in that room. With aplicated expression, Mia pursed her lips and said, "Let me see him, please." "Well..." ¡°who let you in here? Get out!" At that moment, an angry shout came from the doorway. Everyone looked over to see Kohen''s furious face. Although they had discussed cooperation before, setting foot in the McCray residence would always remind him of a past heartache. Eylul hurried over. ''''They want to see Hayes. Actually..." ¡°What do you know?" Kohen suddenly snapped at Eylul. She pursed her lips and lowered her head in silence. Mia quickly interjected. "Don''t me her. We insisted oning in." Kohen grasped Eylul''s hand, regretting his outburst. After all these years, matters regarding his elder brother could always make him lose control. Eylul looked up at him. "It''s alright. I just feel sorry for Hayes. In fact, it might be good to let Miss Fallon visit him. Perhaps she could persuade him to cooperate with the doctor''s treatment." After a moment of struggle, Kohen agreed. "Alright then." Mia went to the backyard alone. It was just as she remembered, except there were no more young boys and girls training there. The yard had be much quieter. Relying on her memory, Mia walked toward the room she had once lived in. At that moment, the sun was setting. A man sat in a wheelchair with his eyes slightly closed, basking in the sunset. A nket covered his legs. After many years, his appearance was still strikingly handsome but much thinner, and his eyes now held a somber, troubled darkness. Mia clenched her hand at her side, licked her lips, and called out to him, "Hayes." Hayes¡¯ body jolted, and the hands resting on his legs slowly tensed. It took him a while to open his eyes and look at her, but his gaze was unnaturally calm. He smiled at her, asmile thatcked sincerity. "It''s been a long time." Mia approached him slowly. She squatted in front of him, held his hand, and murmured, "Yes, it''s been a long time." As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes. As night fell, Mia emerged from the backyard. Kohen hurried to meet her. "How''s my brother?" "Don''t worry, he has agreed to ept treatment.¡± "What?" Kohen stared at her in disbelief. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. "None of us could persuade him, but you managed to do it in an instant?" Eylul smiled at him. "It''s because Miss Fallon is the right person.¡± Jensen also smiled. ''Yes, the right person. The presence of the right person makes all the difference.¡¯ Chapter 1615 Chapter 1615 Chapter 1615 In the backyard, Kohen looked at his older brother''s calm expression, a hint of worry in his voice. "Bro, are you alright?" "I''m fine," Hayes said, adjusting the nket on hisp. " Tomorrow, take me to meet those medical geniuses you found." "Oh, sure..." Kohen nodded in agreement, but after a moment, he could not help but ask, ''Bro, what did that woman say to you that made you change your mind so suddenly?" Hayes gazed at the stars in the sky, his voice cool and distant. " She told me she''s doing well, very happy. Then she pointed out how pitiful and miserable I am right now. She asked me if I don''t feel envious, knowing how well she is doingpared to me." Kohen grimaced, realizing that the woman had provoked his brother into action. Hayes lowered his eyes, a faint smile on his face. "That''s right. How could I not be envious? So, I want to heal my legs, live a good life, and show her that I can do better than her." Kohen felt a pang of sympathy for his brother. From Hayes''s smile, he could tell that it was not envy or resentment toward Mia that drove him. Their meeting had finally put his mind at ease. He was sincerely happy for Mia''s happiness; he had simply hidden his feelings well. Kohen asked Hayes, "Why didn''t you keep her here? Keep her by your side?¡± Hayes gently smiled and, after a long while, shook his head. "I couldn''t keep her." The sunset was beautiful, and so was the sunrise. Mia got into Jensen''s car and said, "Since you apanied me to see Hayes, I''ll apany you to find Kisa." Jensen lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment. "I''ve never thought about looking for her." Mia shook her head. "You still have to look for her. If you don''t see her, you''ll never find peace in your heart, right?" Just like how she felt about Hayes. Now that Hayes was willing to ept treatment and promised to live well, she could finally let go of her burden. She held Jensen''s hand. "Go find her, even if it''s just to catch a glimpse of her from afar." She knew the pain that weighed on Jensen''s heart. He had killed Kisa''s child with his own hands, and the guilt weighed on him, making him feel unworthy of living a good life. But if he could see Kisa living happily, his inner turmoil would naturally dissipate. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Jensen nodded after a long silence. "Alright, let''s find her." And with that, two years passed. In the president''s office of GK Tower, Davian asked, "Mr. Kooper, today''s the celebration of Peter''s son''s one-month birthday. The gift is ready; when will you go?" Gilbert looked out at the blue sky, murmuring, "Peter and Jolina''s son''s one-month celebration... Do you think... she wille back? Davian remained silent, thinking, ''She didn''t even return when Peter and Jolina got married. It''s hard to say if she''lle, even for their son''s celebration.'' "Go pick up Andrew and Ada; we''ll head over there now." Gilbert still wanted to take his chances, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. For two years, not a day went by that he did not think of her and resent her. He resented her for leaving without a word, for her cold-heartedness. His greatest fear was waking from his midnight dreams, the gnawing longing and heartache threatening to consume him. He stood up, grabbed his coat, and headed for the door when Kelvin suddenly burst in, frantic. "Gilbert, good news! Good news! Someone spotted Kisa at a tourist attraction." Gilbert''s heart trembled violently, and he quickly asked, "Which attraction? Tell me the location!" As soon as Kelvin provided the location, Gilbert dashed out in a hurry. Kelvin helplessly shook his head, hoping that this trip would not be in vain. Otherwise, with too much disappointment piling up, one could lose all hope. Chapter 1616 Chapter 1616 Chapter 1616 In a small town in the South, a gentle breeze caressed the cheeks of passersby, creating a pleasant and serene atmosphere. This town, known for its tourism, was adorned with flowers even in its narrow alleys. The surrounding houses were all quaint inns, exuding a poetic and picturesque charm. Beneath an arching bridge, Kisa set up an easel to disy and sell her paintings. She had always loved painting since childhood. Although she had not achieved great sess in this field, her vivid and evocative paintings were very popr with tourists. She would sell most of her paintings every day. On weekends, ke would join her at the stall, but today was Wednesday, and she was alone. After arranging her paintings, she had barely sat down when people began to gather around. Some admired her art, while others immediately offered to buy. Her paintings were reasonably priced, which attracted many customers. "Miss, I''d like that painting of the snow-covered rose garden at night." All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. "alright, $180." She wrapped the painting and handed it to the young girl. After the girl paid and left with the painting, she did not realize that it was handed over to a tall, handsome man. "Here, $100 for your errand.Use it to buy some food." "Hehe, thank you, ma''am.My mom says you''re the most beautiful woman in the world." Mia could not help but smile and gave her another hundred. "Such a sweet talker."" Watching the delighted girl run off, Mia finally approached the man. The lifelike painting of the snow-covered rose garden at night in his hand portrayed a solemn beauty with snow hanging from the tree trunk. Mia looked outside. From this angle, she could see the woman beneath the arching bridge. She asked the man, "We''ve searched for two years and finally found her.Why don''t you go see her?" Jensen''s body tensed. It had been two years. During these years, he had often had the same nightmare. In his dreams, he pushed Kisa, causing the death of the child in her womb. The bloodied child stood before him, crying that he was a bad person, a demon. He would often wake up, consumed by guilt. He constantly reminded himself that if he ever found her again, he would apologize. Now that she was right in front of him, he no longer had the courage to face her. His slender fingers caressed the painting. He looked out the window, and beneath the arching bridge, a tall man held Kisa tightly in his embrace. In an instant, everything around them became a mere backdrop. In the beautiful and tranquil painting, there were only the two of them, inseparable and inseverable.He suddenly smiled¡ªa smile of relief. "Her life is so peaceful now; how could I bear to disturb it? Besides, the person she''s been waiting for...has never been me." Mia paused for a moment, and as she looked out the window, she understood. Gilbert held Kisa tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones. Fighting back his anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "You horrible woman, you were so hard to find!" Kisa stared at the blue sky, not daring to move. She had never imagined that she would meet this man again in her lifetime, let alone in this ce. For a moment, it felt as if she were dreaming. Yet the man''s warm and solid embrace felt so familiar and real. After a while, she slowly raised her hand to wrap it around his waist. She murmured, "It''s been a long time." "I''ll never let you leave me again," Gilbert whispered, his voice somber but resolute. Kisa smiled and asked him, "How''ve you been these past two years? Ww "Not well, not well at all.Life without you has been unbearable, and these two years have felt like two centuries.Please don''t leave me again." His voice pleaded. ¡®Yes, two years is a long time, and it was tough when I missed him.But.." She asked him with a heavy heart, "What about that obstacle, that lingering pain?" Gilbert quickly shook his head. "They''re gone, all gone.All I know is that you''re the love of my life, the one I can''t afford to lose.If my parents were still in this world, they would want me to be happy, and my happiness can only be with you." The man''s gaze was firm and eager. Kisa looked deeply into his eyes, and suddenly she smiled through her tears. "Yes, my happiness lies only with you." Life is short, and she was grateful that after all the twists and turns, she could reunite with him. Since they had found each other again, it was time to start anew together.
