The smile on Anthony's face immediately froze as he looked icily at Kisa, "What's the meaning of this?"At this instant, Kisa's about-face stunned everyone.Davian was even more flabbergasted.Gilbert clutched the wound on his chest as he stared at Kisa.'I never thought that she was really putting up an act. But since it's all an act, she did not have to go so hard on me.'He was seriously suspecting that this woman was using this as an opportunity to get back at him.Kisa moved to Anthony's behind and placed the dagger on his neck as she hissed. "Get your men to free them.""Dream on!" Anthony let out a furious laugh. "I originally did not plan to kill you, but now that you've done this, then... you must die!"Anthony's tone was extremely sinister.Yet, Kisa was totally unperturbed. "No matter. It's not like my life is worth anything anyway. Taking you down with me sounds quite worth it."As she said that, she pressed the blade closer to Anthony's neck and yelled, "Are you
Anthony's eyes widened even more as his expression grew more menacing, looking no different from a demon.Sharon smiled softly, "Why are you staring at me like that? It's not like I'm the one who tied you up."As she said that, she tore the tape off his mouth.Anthony instantly burst into a tirade. "Go back and tell Gilbert and that b*tch that I, Anthony Mullen, won't stop until both of them are dead!"Sharon smiled seductively, "You hate them that much, huh? How about we make a deal then?"Anthony glared at her and did not say anything. Clearly, he had regarded her as part of Gilbert's clique.Sharon circled around him before leaning over. She chuckled as she said something to him.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'II help you take revenge." Sharon took out a blade and cut off the rope binding Anthony as she said, "If you agree, then come to look for me at Calthon."As she s
"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 explain when he sneered. "You wanted to get me killed, so you deliberately ran out and let Anthony 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 to come 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 t
"Hey, how come when you get involved with someone, it always ends with a disaster?" Kelvin glanced at Gilbert's bloodstained chest, then looked at Kisa meaningfully.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--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 ten
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.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 accusing 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 glanced at the p
"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."'One year?' Kisa laughed and fell 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 w
Kisa was startled and looked at the bedside instruments in a panic.The electrocardiogram was flashing a red alarm light. As the nerve-racking alarm 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.?"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 had come 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 become?""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 alarm?"His furious roar left her speechless. Kisa shook her head helplessly, as she had done five years ago, unable to defend herself."Kisa,
'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 a large puddle of shockingly gross blood on the snow.Kelvin and Andrew had also come 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 whimper."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 sta
