"Actually, it doesn't matter anymore. You don't have to tell me. Or maybe you can tell me later." It was not that she did not want to know what Lea had done behind her back; rather it felt like Lea was saying her last words. The idea of that terrified Kisa, so she would have preferred Lea to tell her later."It is important. Those things are still important." Lea smiled faintly and lowered her head to take a sip of coffee.Kisa pursed her lips and looked away. "It's better not to talk about it.""I'll be left with regrets if I don't tell you now," Lea said. "The first thing I did to harm you started from the birthday celebration of Mr. Case Sr. I called you and told you there were short of temporary maids and asked you to go with me. And then Anthony and Sharon set you up by luring Howard and you in the garret of the Case residence. Do you remember that incident?"Kisa stared at her. "I can't believe you were involved in their plans at the time."Lea chuckled. "Yes, he used me tha
She never expected them to hide their evil plan so well."At that time, when you went to the washroom to clean off the coffee spilled on your dress, you gave me your handbag, remember?""A-And then?""Then, I secretly took out your cell phone and took screenshots of you and Gilbert's intimate photos, as well as your intimate chats with Gilbert. If I remember correctly, you and Gilbert had reconciled at that time, but because of Mrs. Kooper Sr., you kept it a secret. Because of the evidence I photographed, Mrs. Kooper Sr. found out you two were together again. I heard Anthony say that Mrs. Kooper Sr. was so angry that she attempted suicide.""What?" Kisa was too shocked to speak."The day Mrs. Kooper Sr. tried to kill herself seemed to be your birthday, too." Lea murmured.Kisa was obviously smiling, but her eyes were filled with tears—tears of remorse. Her body tensed up, as if she had figured out something, but her thoughts were chaotic. She picked up her coffee and was about to
Kisa stared at Lea in confusion, and Lea nodded her head."So, out of guilt for me at the time, you wanted Gilbert to find the warden so that he and I could make up, right?"Lea nodded again but looked a little sad. "After I told Gilbert about the warden, he went straight after Jensen, and then the accident fell upon Jensen. So, in fact, I was the one who was responsible for Jensen's accident, not Gilbert."She was too naive in the past, doing everything for her so-called love. In the end, after doing all those ridiculous things in the name of love, not only did she fail to get even a half-hearted response but also ended up hurting herself with a ton of guilt. Now that she had confessed it all to Kisa, she felt much better. She felt that even if she were to die now, she would feel more at ease.Kisa's hands were trembling. 'If it was Adrien who engineered Jensen's accident, then it was likely that someone had tampered the car that Jensen was driving. But why would Adrien do this to
Kisa sat on the chair, confounded. 'So, Gilbert didn't lie to me; Andrew and Ada really are my children. But whose baby did I see back then which was all purple and breathless? No. That baby was also mine. I could clearly feel the baby being taken out of my belly at that time. So, was I carrying triplets? Who was it that saved me from the fire—Adrien or Jensen? If Jensen was really working for Adrien all along, then perhaps I'd fallen into a trap from the moment I was rescued from the fire. They might have been setting me up from that moment on.'The more she thought about it, the more chilled and shocked she felt. All her past speculations, assumptions, and everything that she had thought of as the truth until now had all been overturned. 'The people I trusted and relied on were scheming against and harming me, and the man I hated and resented so much never hurt me. Gilbert is the only person who has never schemed against me.'She covered her face with her hands as tears seeped out
Gilbert was nervous. He subconsciously held Kisa in his arms and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling alright?" The man hurriedly picked her up and carefully put her in the car. His eyes showed deep concern. "I'll take you to the hospital right now, okay?"After saying that, Gilbert backed away, preparing to go around the car and into the driver's seat. Suddenly, Kisa grabbed the hem of his clothes. She looked up and stared at Gilbert bewilderedly as she let out a self-deprecating and sad laugh, "I guess I've been wrong all these years."Gilbert frowned fiercely. "What do you mean?"Kisa did not say anything further. Instead, she just lowered her head and started crying and laughing simultaneously. Gilbert was worried for a moment. "Did Lea say something? Did she try to harm you again?" he asked.Kisa shook her head. "She didn't harm me this time. Actually... she helped me. She let me in on a lot of things, and she even told me...""She told me that you loved me very much," she s
"Where were you?" The man asked in a gloomy voice. His handsome face was stained with ruthlessness like a demon. Lea used to fear him, even while being in love with him. But at that moment, Lea was not afraid. Maybe it was because she had made up her mind, but she was no longer afraid of anything.She met the man's dark gaze and laughed lightly, "Nowhere. I just told Kisa about all the bad things I did."Anthony narrowed his eyes coldly, "What does that mean?""It means... I ruined your plans with Mr. Tanner. How does it feel? Are you mad?"Anthony stared at Lea deeply. He suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was different. Before this, Lea has always been humble and flattering toward him. But now, all he saw was provocation and despair in her eyes. His heart tightened inexplicably when he noticed it.With a single force, he pulled the woman over to the bed, and her slender figure almost fell. "Well, aren't you getting gutsy?" he said in a dark manner.Lea stared at him c
"Haven't you always wanted to bear my child? Here, I'll give you another one."An unspeakable sadness appeared in Lea's heart when she thought about that child. Tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes. "That's no longer possible.""How could it be impossible? I'll do it right now!" Anthony began to move his hips again after saying that.Lea stared silently at the face that was only a few inches away from her. From his eyebrows to his chin, Lea looked at Anthony carefully, as if she wanted to remember what he looked like.The man was sound asleep next to her late that night. Lea opened her eyes and stared at the dim ceiling for a long time before quietly getting up. She stood by the bed, looking at the blurry figure with no expression on her face.It was unclear whether the man was having a dream, but he suddenly said, "Why are you so pathetic?!"Lea raised the corners of her lips mockingly.'Turns out that I'm still pathetic even in his dreams. It's fine. From now on, I
Kisa shook her head vigorously, hoping it was just a false alarm and that the dream was just the aftermath of what she was thinking earlier in the day. She called Lea's number three times in a row, but each time it was sent to voicemail. It was clear that her phone was switched off.Kisa began to worry. "What should we do? What if something bad happens to Lea?" Kisa asked, her voice sounding like she was about to cry."Don't worry. It's late; she's probably asleep," Gilbert said in a deep voice, but Kisa could not calm down. The dream was too real. She then dialed Anthony's number. 'He must've met up with Lea since he got out from the Mullen ancestral hall,' she thought.Kisa called Anthony, but he did not answer. He only picked up the second time she called. "What the hell do you want in the middle of the night?!" he said with displeasure and hostility from being woken up."Where's Lea? Tell me. Where is she?""Lea?" Anthony began to regain some sense and subconsciously looked be
