Carrie sneered and said to Lea deliberately, "My grandma asked you a question. Did Anthony bring you here?" At that moment, Lea did not dare to look at Anthony. She understood what he wanted her to do when he stopped standing up for her. 'He wants me to pretend not to know him because... He thinks I'm a disgrace!'"Hey! We're asking you...""No," Lea suddenly replied in a low voice before Carrie could finish her words.Carrie was startled. It was as if she did not expect Lea to deny it. "How could that be? I clearly saw Anthony leading you in here," she said, as she was not satisfied with her answer.Kisa snorted coldly and said, "Why don't you ask Anthony if you don't believe her?" As she said that, she glanced at him angrily. She resented him the moment he stopped standing up for her. She felt that it was not worth it.After hearing that, Carrie turned to look at Anthony again, but Anthony sneered, "Carrie, she told you that I'm not the one who brought her in here. Why can't you
When Carrie was proudly showing the photos and everyone was mocking Anthony, Kisa suddenly said, "My, my, Mrs. Mullen. You took pictures? Isn't that too obvious? Are you afraid that people wouldn't know that you've been trying to harm your brother-in-law?" Kisa had roughly sorted out who they were as she watched everything unfold. 'That old lady must be Mrs. Mullen Sr., and everyone is afraid of her. Carrie must be her second daughter-in-law, the wife of her second son.' Kisa even wondered if Mrs. Mullen Sr.'s second son was her own, judging by how she treated his wife. 'As for Jane, she should be Anthony's mother. The dynamic between the Mullen family members feels chaotic,' she thought.Carrie's face suddenly changed when she heard what Kisa had said. "That's outrageous. It just so happened that I took the photo. It wasn't intentional.""The photo you 'unintentionally' took looks somewhat intentional, though. Look, everything in the photo is blurry except for Anthony and my friend.
Mrs. Mullen. Sr. opened the letter and met Kisa's well-mannered gaze. However, there was still a hint of contempt. She closed the invitation and returned it to her as she said, "That old man did invite you. It looks like you aren't just some artist."Kisa smiled at her politely and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Mullen Sr. I came here from Athadale to celebrate Mr. Mullen Sr.'s birthday. I brought my friend here to enjoy the banquet, but I did not expect to be treated like this by the Mullen family.""Hah. Ms. Reyes is not from our family. Don't put the blame on us if she's the one who offended you and your friend. The Mullen family is the most respected family in Athadale.""What about her?" Kisa pointed at Carrie and asked. "She was the one who didn't want to let my friend go.""It's all just a misunderstanding, isn't it? She thought your friend was a bar girl. Now that I think about it, that's impossible. I mean, how could a big star like you befriend a bar girl?" There was a hint of sa
"Well, just now. I found my necklace in her purse. She's a thief!" Karen impatiently said."That means you didn't see her steal from you, right?" Kisa replied."I told you. My necklace was found in her purse. Isn't that enough to show that she is a thief?"Kisa nodded with a smile and answered, "So, according to you, whoever has the necklace in their bag is a thief?""Isn't that how it works?" Karen snorted coldly. Kisa smiled and looked at the floor. There were two bags on the ground. Looking at the material and color of the purses, it was immediately recognizable that the bright red bag belonged to Karen. On the other hand, Lea's bag was in a simple and plain white design.Kisa picked up the red purse, and Karen instantly frowned. She rushed over and said, "What are you doing?"When Karen came to snatch her bag away, Kisa secretly unclasped her bracelet and slipped it into Karen's purse while no one was paying attention. Karen patted her purse in distaste as if her bag had beco
As soon as she finished speaking, Kisa pulled out a shiny diamond bracelet from Karen's purse. Suddenly, Karen's expression changed. "Impossible. That's impossible.""Impossible, you say? Everyone saw me pull it out from your bag," Kisa sneered and threw the purse back to her.It was as if Karen had thought of something when she said, "Y-You must have deliberately planted it in my bag when you picked it up earlier.""What proof do you have?" Kisa looked at her and sneered, "You're the one who said that whoever has it in their bag is a thief, remember?""You're framing me!""Ha-ha. How could I ever dare to frame the dignified daughter of the Reyes family? I'm just trying to prove to everyone that if my friend's a thief, then so are you.""You!" Karen's face was contorted with anger. Carrie then took the opportunity and said, "You are clearly framing Ms. Reyes. Everyone knows how reputable the Reyes family is in Athadale. She has such a good family background. How could she be a th
Anthony narrowed his eyes instantly, and there was a frightening gloomy look in his eyes. Slap! At that moment, a crisp sound of a slap sounded. Kisa was startled. She quickly pulled Lea away and shouted, "What are you doing?! How dare you hit her in front of all these people?!"Karen glared at Lea like she was going crazy. Kisa was baffled. 'I didn't expect her to do anything to Lea again after she had calmed down, especially right in front of Mrs. Mullen Sr. I was paying attention to Carrie and Anthony when she suddenly slapped Lea across the face. Maybe she was thinking of something that angered her, which caused the fire in her heart to burn."Karen pointed her finger at Lea and cursed, "I want this b*tch dead! What qualifications does she have to take a photo with Anthony?! How could a cheap and lowly woman like her participate in such a grand event with the Mullen family? I lost face because of her. I want her dead!"Karen roared frantically and rushed toward Lea. Kisa was abo
With a little effort from the mysterious arms around her waist, Kisa's body avoided the fall. Before she could react, her whole being fell into a firm and familiar embrace. She quickly turned her head and saw that it was Gilbert.After Karen had pushed Kisa away, she continued to sit on Lea's body and hit her. Kisa hurriedly grabbed Gilbert's arm and said, "Save Lea. Help me save Lea."Gilbert's eyes darkened. He rushed over in a few steps, lifted Karen up, and tossed her out without any mercy. Everyone was stunned when they saw that. Mrs. Mullen Sr. frowned and stared at Gilbert. Her gaze was full of questions.Karen fell to the ground in embarrassment. She got up and yelled, "Who the hell are you?! Is the Mullen residence a supermarket where everyone can just come and go?""Are you blind? Do you not recognize the CEO of GK Pictures, Mr. Kooper?" Davian ran to Mrs. Mullen Sr. and gave her a cold sneer. Karen was stunned. She looked at Gilbert in shock and said, "Y-You're Mr. Koope
'Although Karen was arrogant and domineering, the Reyes family was well-known in Athadale. If Anthony marries her, it will be a great help to his future. His status in the Mullen family would also be much more stable,' Jane thought. She then put on a smile and tried to flatter Gilbert by saying, "Forget it. It was just a minor argument. Ms. Reyes knows that she is in the wrong. Please forgive her, Mr. Kooper."As soon as Jane stood up for Karen, Kisa's heart surged with anger. She held Lea, who was covered in bruises, in her arms and sneered, "A minor argument? If I hadn't rushed over in time, my friend would've been dead in the hands of that evil woman. I don't care what happened; I want her to kneel before my friend and apologize!""How dare... you." Karen instantly yelled at Kisa angrily. However, her tone became much softer when she saw Gilbert's gloomy face. Jane pulled her back. She smiled at Kisa and said, "It's all just a misunderstanding. She thought your friend was a thief.
