This time, Kisa did not try to break free from Gilbert. Instead, she allowed him to drag her out of the Case residence.After getting into the car, Gilbert loosened his tie irritably. He looked at Kisa and asked, "Tell me the truth, why did you come to the Case residence today?Kisa pulled her hands away and laughed. She looked at the man beside her who had bloodshot eyes. "You never believed in me and never intended to believe me, so why are you asking? Don't you already believe what they said?""Kisa Becker," Gilbert growled. "How do I believe in you if you don't tell me anything?""Ha. I don't tell you anything?" Kisa chuckled. Okay, do you believe me if I told you my grandfather fell onto the ground on purpose and made the whole thing up with Carolyn Walker?""Mr. Case Sr. fell on purpose?" Gilbert obviously did not believe her words. "Kisa, you're such a bad liar. Mr. Case Sr. is in his eighties. You think he would risk his life by deliberately falling just to frame you? Ha.
Although it was spring in the Sandy Bay, the cold wind at night still felt chilly to the bone.Kisa sat quietly by the river, letting the icy rain fall onto her. Her hair was wet, and her pale and thin face was filled with raindrops and tears. The red and swollen handprint on her face looked terrifying under the rain.She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes full of indifference. 'I don't care if the Case family wants to frame me. All I want is my mother's antique.'Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps behind her, and a thick coat was draped over her shoulders. Her heart trembled slightly. She turned around to see who it was, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.'That's right. Gilbert wholeheartedly thought that I was lying and that I am a vicious monster. He hates me and wants me dead. How could it ever be him?'Howard was startled when he saw the handprint on Kisa's face. "Kisa, y-your face... Who hit you?""It's nothing," Kisa said as she stared blankly at t
'Ha. And I was worried that she would get hurt or something out here. I forgot that the person she loved was that man. No matter what kind of hurt or humiliation she suffered, she would always run into that man's arms to seek comfort.'As Gilbert thought of Kisa's flattery the past two days, the corners of his lips filled with mockery and indifference. 'Every nice thing she does for me is done with the intention of gaining something. I shouldn't feel touched by her actions. I really shouldn't.'Gilbert returned to the Sandy Bay in the middle of the night, reeking from alcohol. He was soaking wet, and his hair was messy. At the sight of this, a servant hurriedly sit him down and said, "Sir, how much did you have to drink? You're all wet from the rain. You'll get sick."The servant then went to bring Gilbert a bowl of soup. However, when Gilbert saw the soup, he violently smashed the bowl to the ground. "I, Gilbert, don't want anything from that woman. Soup? Good for the body? Well, I
Kisa was startled. 'Does he think that I'm Sara or not? After all, he only says such cruel words to me. He would be reluctant to say those words to her.'The man then buried his head in her neck and whispered, "If I kill you, you'll be obedient. You won't run around again, and you won't make me angry anymore, Kisa. Oh, Kisa..."Kisa pursed her lips subconsciously when she heard Gilbert say her name. Her heart felt bitter. 'I knew it. He would only say such words to me.'"You don't have to do it yourself, you know. It won't be long before your wish comes true," she said with a gentle smile.Gilbert did not answer. Kisa did not know if he had fallen asleep, but she could feel his hot and heavy breath on her neck. She tried to move and get out of the man's arms, but his arms were tightly wrapped around her waist. She could not break free no matter how hard she tried."Gilbert," she called out to him in a low, exhausted voice. The man behind her still did not answer. Kisa frowned and
"You..." Sharon's expression changed instantly when she saw Kisa come out of Gilbert's room. Kisa smirked and intentionally pushed the door open so that Sharon could see Gilbert in his towel. The jealousy in Sharon's eyes was unmissable as the expression on her face grew uglier."You will never have what I have," Kisa walked over to Sharon and whispered."Why you!" Sharon was so angry that her face seemed a little distorted.Kisa admired the look on Sharon's face and returned to her room with a smile. However, Sharon followed her as soon as she returned to her room."You b*tch!" she shouted at Kisa's face and raised her hand to slap her.Kisa looked at the servant who was passing by the door and sneered, "Go on then, hit me. Everyone will know that you, Sharon Case, are a vicious woman who pretends to be some sort of pure and innocent little flower.""Kisa Becker!" Sharon choked with anger. Veins were bulging from her forehead, and she looked vastly different than her usual gorge
Kisa let out a nonchalant smile, "He has always hated me to begin with, so does he need a reason to try to frame me?"Sharon leaned toward her and said gleefully, "Because I told him you snatched my man, and as long as he helped me frame you, I could take my man back. So Grandpa agreed to it.""It does seem like Grandpa really loves me. He's already such an old man, yet he still took the fall to frame you. Tsk, what a failure of a person you are, really. Just look at how he treats you. Even I take pity on you."Kisa laughed again, "That's why I said he's your grandfather, not mine. I'm not fussed about his love."She had never cared about the love and affection from the Case family anyway.From the very beginning, only her mother was the closest to her. Only her mother.Unable to elicit any sadness or disappointment from Kisa's eyes, Sharon inevitably felt a little bummed.She snorted as she left, "I'll be waiting for you at his birthday banquet~"Sharon had repeatedly mentione
"Could... you bring me along to the Case family banquet?""Absolutely not!"The man rejected her outright without giving her any room to dream of.Kisa hurriedly explained, "I just want to—""Enough!" Gilbert snapped. "Are you not satisfied with the mess you've created? Today's Mr. Case Sr's birthday. All of the establishment folks and media will be there. If you were to pull the same stunt again, who's going to clean up after you?""Also, I've clearly mentioned that you are just a maid of the Kooper family in the press conference the other day. If you were to go to the Case family's banquet to mingle around, whose face are you trying to drag through the mud here?"Kisa clutched her mobile phone tight, and her eyes got teary. She laughed at herself.'Sure enough, this man will not help me!'"Kisa Becker, you better not go anywhere today. Stay at home and accompany Grandma."After saying that, Gilbert hung up the phone.Kisa quietly looked at the darkened phone screen. She the
The moment Kisa heard that her heart beat a little faster.'It is the Case family. What a coincidence!'At that time, Lea only knew Kisa as Raine. She had no idea her friend was Kisa Becker, a daughter the Case family had taken in.After not getting a reply from Kisa, Lea suddenly recalled something as she said, "Oh, right. This Case family is Sharon's family. I remember that you had some feud with her, and she seemed to be calling you sis or something. Have you guys known each other since the beginning?""I have some feud with her. I'll tell you next time.""Okay. If that's the case, I think you shouldn't be going, so that she won't make things difficult for you. It's my bad. I only had the high pay in mind and forgot about that.""No, I'll go.""Eh? You're going?""Give me the address. I'll meet up with you there."The Case family was a famous household in Calthon, so the birthday banquet was a big one, and they had hired a lot of temporary staff.Based on what Lea had said
