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 collar. "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't come 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 become
Christopher looked at Kisa's face carefully through the glass window on the door. 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. He hurriedly turned around and headed for the stairs.Jolina coughed awkwardly and whispered to the director, " Even though Kisa doesn't look very bad, you didn't have to say something like that, did you?"The director also seemed to feel that what he had said was inappropriate, so he smiled at Kisa and said, "I didn't mean it like that. 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 fil
In the evening, Jolina carried her handbag and asked Kisa, "What would you like for dinner? 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 had come alone, she would have thought that her father had developed a conscience and had come 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 caut
"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.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 glared 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
It was dark, and there was no one downstairs. Jolina frowned, feeling unease. "I somehow feel this is quiet before the storm."Kisa laughed. "Fear not even if the storm is coming; 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 the laboratory test results handed over by the doctor. "How is this possible? You must have made a mistake." On the lab 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
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. Kooper's 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.""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 th
"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 glanced 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 sp
Kelvin greeted him with a smile, "Don't leave yet. We'll go for some celebratory drinks later."Davian turned around and glanced 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.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 c
