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 villa was just as quiet as last time. Except for this time, Gilbert was with her. So, she did not feel nervous anymore. E

    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

    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 display and sell her paintings. She had always loved painting since childhood. Although she had not achieved great success in this field, her vivid and evocative paintings were very popular with tourists. She would sell most of her paintings every day.On weekends, Blake 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.""Alright,

    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 blanket on his lap. "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 doing compared 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

    Mentioning Hayes, Eylul's expression became complex. "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 glanced at Mia. She had heard that Mia used to live in that room.With a complicated expression, Mia pursed h

    "Let's forget everything that just happened,' Mia said.Jensen looked up at her. In the moonlight, his eyes were deep and complex, profound and unfathomable.Mia tried to muster a smile. "You don't have to feel burdened. In a way, I forced you. And you must have always disliked me. Actually, I didn't come to you for money; I just wanted to see you. Now that I have, 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. "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—""I'm willing," Mia blurted out, "as long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything

    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 claim 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 playful 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, playing with her like a toy, she closed her eyes in despair. She thought she could never face Jensen again. With a bitter laugh,

    Adrien Tanner, Jensen's father, stood before Mia with a warm smile. "My son is truly awkward when it comes 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 him come 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 glass 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

    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

    "What on earth happened?"Jensen did not speak. Mia choked out. "The collaboration 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,

    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 splatters 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
