Kisa gasped for air, her vision clearing. She saw light coming in through the window. It was faint, not bright enough, barely illuminating the corner of the bed. She vaguely saw a man sitting in front of a low table. Her heart fluttered with joy, but when she looked closer, there was no one there. Gilbert had not returned for the night.She sat on her bed, hugging her knees, haunted by the nightmare she had just had. In the dream, a voice kept saying to her, "Kisa, you are going to get him killed eventually. You will get him killed." Then she saw Gilbert lying on the floor, covered in blood. She was shocked and jolted out of it. The moment she woke up, she was incredibly glad it was just a dream.She hugged her knees tightly, her eyes steady and steadfast. 'No matter what, I won't let Gilbert get hurt. Definitely not!'In a hotel, a woman helped Gilbert to the bed. He closed his eyes and frowned, as if he were uncomfortable. The woman was on top of him, stroking his face over and ov
"Gilbert, I missed you. Don't go. Don't go..."Gilbert narrowed his eyes dangerously. He wrenched the woman's hand away with force, and in one swift turn, he had her by the neck and pressed her hard against the wall. "Who the hell are you?" Still intoxicated, he could barely make out who the woman in front of him was, except for the faintest sense of familiarity.The woman looked at him sadly, warm tears dripping from her eyes and landing on the back of his hand. "Do you really not remember me?" she asked.Gilbert narrowed his eyes, but he still could not make out who she was. He was so upset and irritable that he flung her to the floor. Wanting to see Kisa now, he stumbled out of the room.The woman stared grimly at the doorway of the empty room, her clenched fists bursting with blue veins in hatred. "You will be mine, eventually. Everything you have will be mine, and only mine."Kisa did not sleep for the rest of the night after waking up from a nightmare. It was only at dawn th
After all, nowadays, besides the paper version, there was also an online version. Kisa took a sip of her soup and asked, "How did it go last night? Did you have a nightmare?"Kelvin looked resentful at the very mention of it. "Look at my eyes yourself. Take a good look."Kisa glanced at his eyes and said amusedly, "They look normal, and you're not blind. What's wrong?""You have the nerve to ask me what is wrong. Look at the dark circles under my eyes."When Kisa looked closely, she really noticed that he had severe dark circles under his eyes."I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep after that, so I played with my phone for most of the night."Kisa narrowed her eyes. "Looks like it is really because of that tea."Kelvin could not care less about being angry again. He said with a serious expression on his face, "Could it be Vivian?"Kisa shook her head. "She has no reason to harm me, and it was I who asked you to come to treat her leg, so I suspect t
Kisa did not make a sound but kept her head low and drank her soup.Kelvin came to her side and said, "Kisa, trust me, Gilbert is not such an easy person. He only has you in mind. The media has always been so obsessed with reporting such things."Kisa finished the soup in the bowl but did not take a single bite of the sandwich she was holding in her hand, as she had no appetite. She looked at Kelvin. "I understand; he must have been drunk."Kelvin froze for a moment, and then quickly nodded his head. "Yes, yes. Look at the photos in the newspaper. It looks like he was drunk.""So, whatever happened, it wasn't his intention. So don't worry, I won't blame him." And she knew she did not have the right to blame him. After all, she was the one who pushed him away just so that she could get near Adrien.Kisa looked too calm for Kelvin's comfort. "You really don't blame Gilbert?"She shook her head, looking serious. "I don't blame him."Kelvin suddenly frowned. "Kisa, you don't blame h
The grand garden looked magnificent in the hazy moonlight. In the opulent basement, other than the exquisite decor and furnishings, there was also a natural hot spring, where steam from the hot spring imbued the entire basement, turning the place into a mysterious and otherworldly fairyland.A slender and graceful woman was lounging on a nearby couch, with a thin blanket covering half of her body and exposing a pair of gorgeous and slender legs.Mr. Mullen Sr. got up from the couch, buttoning his shirt as he said, "I heard you went to see that man last night." There was a hint of anger in his tone.The woman was not afraid of him and simply replied coquettishly, "Yes. So what?"Mr. Mullen Sr. frowned and turned to look at her. She had a chaste face, but her expression and posture were like those of a succubus, sexy and seductive. Mr. Mullen Sr.'s anger vanished when he saw her beautiful body. He softened his attitude and said, "We agreed you wouldn't go out, didn't we? It wouldn't
Gilbert had previously mentioned to Mr. Mullen Sr. about visiting the 'restricted area'. Mr. Mullen Sr. told him he would think about it, but no one knew if he had decided yet.Thinking of Gilbert, Kisa seemed somewhat distracted. Gilbert had not been seen around the Mullen residence for several days, nor had he contacted her through calls or messages. Felicity had called her a few times but did not bring up Gilbert, and neither had Kisa asked. At one time, she thought that Gilbert and Davian had returned to Calthon, which would be good, because she would not have to say anything hurtful to gain Adrien's trust.Half a month later, Vivian could finally stand up, but still could not walk. The mere act of standing up brought tears of joy to her.Kisa said to her happily, "I believe you'll be walking soon."Vivian nodded excitedly.Kelvin was leaning in his chair and said with relief, "It's better than I expected. This way I can heal you as soon as possible and go back to see my Graci
Kisa faced Adrien's inquisitive gaze with a calm expression and said seriously, "Let's wait a few more days. I'll go back with Kelvin in a few days. Gilbert has only just gone back, and if I go back immediately, he might think I lack attitude and find me unchallenging."Adrien stared at her face for a long while but did not find any flaws. After a while, he laughed while puffing out rings of smoke. "Okay, what you said makes sense. Let's wait a few more days."Kisa's eyes flickered, and she said deliberately, "By the way, Uncle Adrien, Gilbert's laptop is still in my room. There may be GK Pictures's confidential files inside. Shall we sneak a peek at his computer, see if we can steal some of his company's confidential files? It will be a help in our bid to bring down GK Pictures," she suggested, trying to gain Adrien's trust.But Adrien's primary goal was not GK Pictures. He would not reveal himself or make a move on GK Pictures before she and Gilbert escalated their war to the deat
"Who among you wants to visit that restricted zone tomorrow? You can all come with me," announced Mr. Mullen Sr.As his words echoed through the silent dining room, everyone present stared at him, wide-eyed. The people who were having their meals all stopped. Some people were so shocked that they forgot to chew the food in their mouth. Only Mr. Mullen Sr. was still eating calmly.Kisa broke the silence and said, "Can I join you tomorrow as an outsider?"Kelvin was also curious about the restricted zone, but he lacked the courage to explore it himself. The last time he tried, the fearsome guards scared him off.Mr. Mullen Sr. glanced at them with a faint smile. "Since I brought this up at the dinner and you all heard it, it's only fair that you get to join as well."Kisa and Kelvin exchanged excited glances.Mr. Mullen Sr. looked around the table and continued. "Since none of you seem interested, I will only invite Mrs. Kooper and Dr. Hoover tomorrow.""Me, me, me...""Dad, I al
