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.
Karen was not happy. "Aunty..."The old lady's face darkened. "What? Do you want him to bring your family down? You probably don't know it yet, but the Kooper family is extremely powerful. Trust me; you'll regret it if you don't apologize this instant."Karen had never apologized to anyone before in her life. She put her hands together and looked at Anthony as if she was asking for help. But, he ignored her. Jane then whispered, "It's okay, Karen. Just apologize to them. It's just two words.""Aunty Jane...""Be good. Go and apologize. Otherwise, things would be difficult for you and Anthony if you don't make peace with them.""Okay," Karen nodded and walked up to Kisa and Lea. "I'm Sorry," she snorted at Kisa.Kisa pursed her lips and sneered, "That's what you call an apology? Also, apologize to my friend, not me."Karen glared at her coldly and looked at Lea. Her eyes were full of contempt as she reluctantly said, "I'm sorry.""Louder!" Kisa snorted.Karen gritted her teeth
Gilbert suddenly looked anxious as he shifted his gaze to Kisa's stomach."What's wrong? Did you injure yourself?"Kisa shook her head. "Nope. I fell down and my stomach hurts a little, that's all."Gilbert and Davian both stared at her nervously.Kisa felt very uneasy. Then, she added, "It's nothing serious. It felt all tingly earlier, but I feel a lot better now."Gilbert furrowed his brows and carried her up directly without saying anything.Kisa was shocked as she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. "What are you doing?""I'll bring you to the hospital for a checkup now." Gilbert sounded worried.Felicity's jaw dropped. "Mr. Kooper, you're overreacting. It's nothing serious at all. I believe all of us have taken a fall before. Besides, she fell on the grass. How much could it hurt?""She's right! Put me down now!" Kisa struggled to get down.Indeed, Gilbert got too nervous about it.Also, Kisa thought that his reaction appeared to be a little fake after seeing how
Kisa felt very bad for Lea as she said in a low voice. "I'll get someone to bring you to the hospital."Lea shook her head. "I'm fine. It's just some bumps and bruises.""But your baby...""Don't worry. I kept my stomach protected just now and it feels just fine."Kisa looked at her and felt terrible.'She tried so hard to protect that man's child, yet he treated her like this.'Kisa took a deep breath. Then, she grabbed Lea's arm and said softly. "Let's go to the washroom to clean you up and put some ice on your face after that."Kisa just could not leave Lea alone with her being like that.Lea looked down sadly without saying anything.Kisa sighed and said to Gilbert. "I want to be alone with her for a while. You guys go have fun."Gilbert stared at her deeply for a while before he nodded. "Watch yourself.""Okay."Kisa replied flatly before she helped Lea to the backyard where it was less crowded.Gilbert stared at Kisa's back for a second. Then, he turned around and sa
Lea shook her head. "Nothing will be better. There's no way I can bear to have him out of my life or give up on this relationship unless I die. Trust me. The only way I can let go of this relationship is to die."Kisa's heart sank.Then, she looked at Lea confusedly. "Can't you see what's happening even though that man is already hurting you like this? Why are you still being so stubborn?"Lea looked back at Kisa through her misty eyes, "You understand that being in a relationship is not something you can control, no? Gilbert did so many things to hurt you back then, yet you still love him the same, don't you?"Lea's words left Kisa speechless.Lea was right.Gilbert hurt and humiliated her in many ways back then, and he had even almost killed her several times.However, she still had feelings for him.They say is love is blind, after all.As a bystander, Kisa could advise Lea very calmly and rationally, but she was just as stubborn as Lea when faced with the same situation.
Lea's facial expression immediately changed, and she looked mournful and indescribably inferior.She quickly bowed her head down as if she was afraid that the person would see how ugly and messy she looked.Kisa turned her head and saw that person walking toward them was Anthony.She did not understand why he came here. 'Does he think that he hasn't hurt Lea enough?'Anthony came in front of them very and Kisa stood in front of him subconsciously. "What are you going to do to her?"Anthony looked at her coldly. "This is between me and her. It has nothing to do with you. Get lost!"Kisa was so mad, that she laughed. "I guess you probably forgot who kept quiet just now when Lea was getting mistreated. I'm afraid that the shrew would beat her to death if I didn't interfere!""So what?" Anthony sneered.Lea grabbed the edge of Kisa's clothes. "Kisa, forget it. It's not his fault.""Lea..." Kisa looked at her helplessly.Kisa felt very uneasy looking at how inferior Lea acted.Th
