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 placed 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-year-old 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 place and lowered
As Gilbert lifted the white cloth covering the bed, the other white cloth on the wall also dropped, revealing a large 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 accident. 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, come on. Let's go. Otherwise, your Grandma—""Ahhh!"Before Kisa could finish her sentence, Gilbert sw
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 occupy 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 w
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 accident, and he survived the accident because his mother was protecting him with her body. He suffered mental trauma after the accident. The police's investigation said it was an accident," 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 fee
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 the combination to your safe. Only Gilbert has that ability.""Humph!" Madalyn glared 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.""Come on, grandma," Kelvin urged. "I think they reall
"Exactly!" A sultry woman wrapped herself around Anthony and glanced at Lea with contempt. "You're just a plaything. 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-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 place, 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
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.Lea was shocked and saddened. She was completely discouraged from telling him about the child's existence. She realized now that she had overestimated his virtuousness and her place 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 plaything have so much nonsense?" The woman clung to Anthony again, and the two of them kissed as if no one was
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 glanced 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 wh
