Kisa hissed, "He deserves to die. Jensen is still in a coma, those ugly burn scars on my body will never fade, and that baby of mine will never come back. So how can he live so well? He's the one who deserves to die!"It hurt her to say this. She clenched her hands, looking indescribably grief-stricken.Adrien exhaled a ring of smoke and urged her, "Silly girl. If you murder him, you'll have hell to pay. It's not worth it to put your life on the line like that.""I don't care." Kisa covered her face and cried with grief. "He hurt me, and he hurt the person who treated me the best. I hate him. I hate him to death."Outside the door, Gilbert listened quietly to the conversation inside, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. He had been worried about her, so after she ran out, he followed her. He could not help himself worry about her although he knew she hated and resented him. And now, listening to her hateful words, his worry seemed so ridiculous. He laughed at himself, with g
There was a sudden knock on the door.Adrien looked alarmed. "Come in."As the door opened, it was one of the Mullen family's maids standing in the doorway. "Mr. Tanner, may I ask if Mrs. Kooper is with you?"Adrien looked over at Kisa, who asked the maid, "Is there something I can do for you?""Miss Mullen would like to see you."Kisa was surprised that Vivian still wanted to see her, and that it was so soon. She nodded her head. "Okay, I'll be right over. You can go now.""Yes, Mrs. Kooper."After the maid left, Adrien smiled at her. "You seem to care about Vivian.""I can't help it. Both of were hurt by our beloved and are suffering miserably. We are in the same boat." Kisa chuckled. "It would be great if Kelvin could heal her. It would be worth it for the Mullen family to show me their hospitality.""By the way, Kisa, may I ask, why are you thinking of staying at the Mullen residence for a while?"Kisa pursed her lips, thinking, 'It seems that he has already begun to susp
The maid bowed her head slightly and said respectfully, "After Miss Mullen had a fight with you yesterday, she was afraid that you'd be angry and unwilling to see her, so she asked me to make sure you go over."Kisa nodded. "I'll go with you now." On the way downstairs, Kisa asked the maid casually, "How'd you know I was with Mr. Tanner?""Mr. Kooper told me," the maid replied.Kisa's heart skipped a beat. 'How did Gilbert know I was in Adrien's room? Had he overheard the conversation I had just had with Adrien?' she thought to herself, feeling a chill running up her spine. She felt helpless and had mixed emotions. 'Screw it. We will eventually come to this. When I'm done with Adrien, I will explain to him,' she said in her mind.Little did she know, however, that when the truth surfaced later, she would realize that she was the one who owed Gilbert the most in this world. At that time, all her explanations and confessions would be meaningless.In the room, Adrien puffed on his ci
Kisa pursed her lips, thinking that Kelvin was careless, not knowing that this full cup of tea differed from his half cup of tea. "You're still the best." She smiled at him.Kelvin was getting smug again. "Of course I am."She shot him an amused look, then looked over at Vivian, who was trying to lift her leg. The last time Kisa was here, Vivian had not been able to, but this time she managed to raise it a little, moving her feet slightly away from the wheelchair. The treatment had been very effective, and Vivian seemed to be ecstatic about it. Kisa looked at her excited face and was genuinely happy for her.After finishing his tea, Kelvin looked at his phone with a goofy smile on his face. Kisa could right away tell that he was talking to Gracie. She said to him, "Wait for me here. We'll go back to the main building together later, as I have something to tell you."Kelvin was puzzled. "What is it about?""I'll talk to you later. It's not a good time to talk right now."Seeing Ki
"At that time, his eyes were profound and resolute, like a bottomless sea I couldn't help but be lost in and addicted to. I've always been a soft-hearted person, so not only did I agree to his request, but I even begged my family not to tell anyone about his whereabouts. My father gave the order, and no one dared to disclose his whereabouts. Do you know for whom this small garden was first built?"Kisa was quietly shocked. 'It was for David, wasn't it? It seems the Mullen family treated him well.'Vivian seemed to have read her mind and laughed at herself. "It was for him. But at the time, I didn't know that his appearance in front of my car that night had actually been a long-planned plot. There's no denying that he really is charming. He appeared simple, but often subtly flirtatious. Any woman who spends some time with him will mostly fall in love with him."After his injury healed, he started to subtly show affection for me. I was already in love with him, so in less than six mon
"Of course," Vivian said with certainty. "For a while, I suspected that he was behind the rapid rise of the Tanner family. After all, I was one of the people in charge of The Mullen Group, and the shares and assets I transferred to him were enough for him to support a modest-sized family. But I went to the Tanner family and didn't see him. Instead, a young man politely told me he didn't know David, and that the reason for the Tanner family's rise was a successful venture with the Webb family, allowing them to grow so rapidly. Now that I think about it, wasn't that young man Adrien, Mr. Tanner?"Kisa frowned as a thought snapped through her mind. "When you saw Adrien, how long had it been since David left you?" she asked in a deep voice,"Two months."'Two months?' At this moment, Kisa could rule out Adrien having had plastic surgery, because even the most advanced plastic surgery technology could not make a person change a face in just two months. Besides, Kelvin had also confirmed
"Really? That would be great."Since she was sure that Adrien could not be David, she did not keep testing him. "Uncle Adrien, go check on Vivian. I'm going back now."Adrien nodded. "If you have any problems, talk to me. Don't act rashly next time. Okay?" He was talking about her attempt to kill Gilbert.Kisa nodded vigorously; her eyes determined. "I know, Uncle Adrien.""Go now and take care of yourself."Kisa nodded and turned to leave the garden. Adrien watched her go before turning his gaze.Seeing Kisa leave without saying telling him, Kelvin hurried after her. "Kisa! Kisa!" He trotted to catch up with her. "Didn't you just say that you wanted me to wait for you and we go back together, and that you had something to tell me?"Kisa did not respond but hurried toward the main building. Kelvin looked at her serious face and spontaneously quickened his pace to catch up.After passing the restricted zone, the main building would be visible up ahead. Kisa looked around to make
"Okay, I understand everything. You don't have to explain it to me for him."Kelvin got desperate. "You really misunderstood him. Be it the prison fire or the Jensen thing, you misunderstood him."Kisa nodded. "I know he didn't do any of those."Kelvin was stunned. "You know?"Kisa nodded. "That's why you don't have to say all that. I really understand everything."Kelvin glanced at her calm face skeptically. "If you understand, then why are you still so cold to him?"Kisa thought for a second and suddenly laughed. "We had a fight, just like you thought."Kelvin looked at her in bewilderment, somewhat confused by what she said.Kisa felt sleepy, so she drove him out. "'Don't be afraid if you have a nightmare at night. Just tell yourself in your mind that 'it is just a dream, just a dream'."Kelvin rolled his eyes, as there was no way he was not afraid. He was still anxious when he thought of that ghastly nightmare.Davian and Felicity were both drunk in Club Enigma, and the m
