'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
There were many, many people at the banquet venue.Kisa did not walk through the hall, but rather, she went around the side door into the courtyard.Yet, she could still see how packed the hall was through the window.As Mr. Case Sr. was seated at the innermost position of the hall, the first thing the guests would do when they arrived was to greet him and exchange a few pleasantries. Therefore, everyone was gathered inside the hall.Conversely, the courtyard had much fewer people, and that suited Kisa just fine.She quickly carried the tray and placed it on the table.Just as she was about to rush back to the kitchen, a guest called out to her, "Waiter, two glasses of wine, please."Kisa paused for a moment, wondering if she was the one being called. After all, there was not only her who was the staff in the courtyard."What are you standing there for? I'm calling you. Why are the waiters here so slow?"'Alright, he was calling to me.'Kisa gave up. She did not want to cause
"Raine..."Just as she took two steps, Lea suddenly stopped her."What are you doing going up there?" Lea pulled her anxiously. "This is the Case family, you know. What do we do if you get caught?""I have something important up there that I must take back," Kisa looked at Lea's somewhat suspicious eyes and said, "I'll explain to you about some stuff later."Lea went silent for a moment as the doubt in her eyes slowly disappeared. In its place was a look of sincerity and trust. "Then what help do you need from me?"Kisa was filled with gratitude for Lea's unconditional trust and assistance.She then said in a low voice, "There are two escalators in the manor and one elevator."As she said that, she pointed to a corner of the yard, "Hide there later, and you can observe the situation of those three entrances. Let me know if someone is going upstairs."Lea gave her a puzzled look but did not pry further as she solemnly nodded, "Alright, go see to your business.""Thank you." Kis
