Kisa looked up subconsciously. When she found it was Anthony and Sharon, the sadness and fragility on her face instantly dissipated and were replaced by a touch of iciness. She stood up and stared with cold eyes at the man and woman, knowing that Anthony would take revenge on her for what happened in Athadale, but she did not expect Sharon to collude with him.Sharon was as smug as if she had won a battle. "I thought Gilbert had held this press conference to clear you of suspicion. But what a surprise that he let you take the blame. That is funny."Kisa was silent, and Sharon laughed even more triumphantly."Tsk, Kisa, I really pity you, but had Gilbert still had some feelings for you, he would not have done this to you. Look, he is so cruel to you, just leave you here alone to face those reporters' scolding. If I were you, I would be really sad. In fact, all he had to do was admit that you were the wife of GK Pictures's CEO, and you would have been fine. Unfortunately, you are noth
The man said, throwing her off. "B*tch, I will let you live today, but there will be more to come."Kisa rolled on the ground, too sore to move. Suddenly, she felt a touch of iciness on her face; apparently, it was snowing again. She stared blankly at the gray sky, feeling like her life was just as gray, without a trace of light. Kisa was so tired, completely exhausted.She wished she could sleep and wake up as a child again—living with her mother, never meeting Gilbert, without so much grief and despair. She thought how nice it would be if she was asleep, as she did not have to care about anything as pain and aggrievement would be gone. 'So go to sleep, just sleep it off, and I won't have to suffer so much pain.''No!' She opened her eyes and laughed out loud as she gouged the ground with her hands. 'The bad guys haven't been punished yet, and the man hasn't kneeled before me in remorse. So how can I resign myself to life? It is just a life, and I will fight even if I have to give
Gilbert dragged her wizened body into the study and grabbed her by the collar. "So what did Howard give you, or did he treat you well in bed, so well that you are so devoted to him that you will protect him, even if you have to take all the blame?" He did not mince his words in humiliating her.Kisa suddenly burst out laughing. "Gilbert, it was you who pushed me out first, and who are you to question me here?" If Gilbert had not pushed her out first, she would not have come forward to admit it. In her eyes, it was he who forced her hand, and now he was questioning her. "Stop blaming me for that. I dare you to say that even if I hadn't pushed you out, you wouldn't have risked your and even GK Pictures's reputation to defend him?" Gilbert gritted his teeth as if Kisa had betrayed him.She looked at the raging man and laughed like crazy, so hard that even tears were flowing out of her eyes. "In your eyes, everything I do is wrong. It is wrong for me not to take the blame, and it is al
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 slap her.Kisa felt something shatter inside her, accompanied by that loud slap. 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
Kelvin frowned. "If you are not asking me to heal you, then you—""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."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 collapse 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
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 place. 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?"Gracie shook her head. "I don't want a maid. I like to live with him alone. I don't feel comfortable 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
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.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 gi
"Could you help me investigate? It was five years ago, the night Grandma got into an accident 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 old lady?""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
