"I'm really curious..." Gilbert bent over, propped both hands on the edge of the bed, and confined her to his arms, "whether I'm really inferior to Howard.""No, it is not..." Kisa shook her head in panic. "Don't listen to the media. There is nothing between me and Howard.""If you had nothing to do with him, would you drag me down again and again just to hype him up?" Gilbert said, suddenly tugging at his tie.Kisa panicked. "Gilbert, what are you doing?""What am I doing?" Gilbert laughed softly, his cold eyes devoid of any sentiment, only mockery. "You set me up and manipulated me five years ago. Now... heh.""No!" Realizing what the man was about to do, she panicked and tried to escape, but was quickly dragged back by her feet. "No, Gilbert!" she hissed, but could only see his cold, mocking eyes of the man on top of her. He really hated her, so much so that he wanted her dead. Their relationship had come to the point of no return.The time was incomparably long. Bruises cover
"That's enough!" Gilbert spoke soberly, his eyes torch-like. " Hold a press conference tomorrow. I will apologize to the media.""Mr. Kooper, how can this be?""There is nothing wrong with that. I don't care if I will be laughed at as long as I can salvage GK Pictures's reputation."Outside the door, Kisa clenched the newspaper in her hands with a ruthless look in her eyes. She was a woman with principle; she would repay those who were kind to her with her life and would give as good as she got to those who cheated her.The north of the city was a remote area with ongoing development, the road condition was bad with few shops opening there. Kisa quietly sat in a window seat in the cafe. The business in the cafe was poor, and there was no one else but her. The soft music did not relax her, as she clenched her phone and stared icily at the cafe door.It did not take long before a man wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses walked briskly. He first raised his eyes and looked around, th
"You really have no intention of trusting me," he said in an icy voice.Kisa snickered. "I trusted you; I chose to trust you from the beginning, but you were too obvious the second time you cooperated with Sharon to set me up," she said with a flash of sadness on her face. "I always thought we were sort of friends. I was willing to give up my life to help you get your role back, but you teamed up with Sharon to set me up. You're the one who failed my trust in you, not me who refused to trust you."There was a touch of emotion and guilt on his face. "Kisa, I—""Did you think you'd get away with colluding with Sharon and Anthony?"Howard was surprised. "You know about Anthony, too?"Kisa shook her head and laughed. "Yes. After these two news incidents, your popularity has gone through the roof and almost everyone knows your name, but how long do you think you can keep that up? When this is over, do you think anyone will remember you? Do you think Gilbert will let you remain in the e
She thought he would stay at the Kooper residence for the next few days. After last night's incident, she could not tell what it was like to see this man again; there were feelings of bitterness, embarrassment, and resentment."M-Mrs. Kooper, you are back."Yesterday's incident was such a big story that her identity was no longer a secret. Even the people in this villa looked at her with strange eyes, and the way they addressed her did not sound right.Gilbert leaned against the cabinet by the window and smoked, not sparing her a glance, as if she was just a stranger.Kisa pursed her lips and walked upstairs. Had she not had to accompany Madalyn, she would not have stayed here. After walking a few steps, Sharon suddenly came out of the washroom and called out joyfully, "Kisa, you're back?"She did not expect to see Sharon here. After a moment of shock, she continued to walk upstairs. She told herself that everything would be over tomorrow, anyway. Whether or not Howard worked with
"You will regret it one day to protect her now.""The thing I regret most in my life is meeting you. Without you, none of the tragedies would have happened." Gilbert stared at her indifferently, his voice calm yet frosty.An emotion surged inside her, and tears blurred her eyes. She grasped the carpet with indignation, her eyes bloodshot. She suddenly let out a self-deprecating laugh. "So did I. All my misfortunes started when I met you.""Is that so?" Gilbert smirked and stopped looking at her, instead pulling Sharon outside.It was not until they drove away in the car that Kisa tried to get up from the floor. Her back hurt like hell from hitting the cabinet, and her body felt as if it was going to fall apart whenever she moved. She gritted her teeth and walked slowly to the coffee table, picked up her mother's ruined notebook, and held it in her arms, then slowly walked upstairs. She trudged forward, not only the dull pain coming from her back but also the familiar pain that floo
Anthony finished, pointed to a figure in the corner, and laughed out loud. As he laughed, the other rich kids followed suit with laughter of mockery.Gilbert stubbed out his cigarette and slowly stood up. He came out of the shadows with a bitter face. Seeing that, those rich kids were a little scared and stopped laughing.Anthony sneered as he dug his hands into his pockets with a foot on the coffee table. He smiled at Gilbert. "How does it feel to be a cuckold?"Gilbert looked at him without saying a word.Seeing that Gilbert was not angry, and thinking that GK Pictures's reputation was going to the dogs, the rich kids were emboldened and taunted him along with Anthony."Yeah, your wife is even interested in a male artist. Is she too hungry or are you not good enough?""Actually, if you can't get it up, you can tell us earlier. We can always give you a helping hand instead of benefiting that male artist.""Haha, that woman might be ugly, but she is at least the wife of GK Pictu
Kisa turned and stared at him in surprise. "Are you here to pick me up for the press conference?"Davian shook his head.Kisa wondered. "Then you..."Davian took out a document and said, "T-This is what Mr. Kooper asked me to bring to you."The words 'Divorce Agreement' were on the cover.Kisa understood. She took the document and walked silently to the coffee table.Davian could not help but say, "Mrs. Kooper, it is not too late to sign after today. After today's press conference, Mr. Kooper will definitely know the truth and won't want to divorce you.""He wants to divorce me; it is not about that." Kisa looked at the divorce agreement in front of her with a bitter smile. "I should have signed it five years ago. He divorces me simply because he is disgusted with me." She was convinced that Gilbert would have still divorced her, even if all this had not happened. She picked up a pen and signed on the dotted line.Inside the car, Gilbert smoked a cigarette and spoke in a depres
The reporter pointed to the electronic screen and said, "The day before yesterday, you were with Howard in the Case residence's loft; we saw it all. Yesterday, you had a secret rendezvous with Howard. The evidence is overwhelming. How else can you explain?""Even if you have agreed to divorce Mr. Kooper, it is a fact that you cheated on him first, and it is also a fact that Mr. Kooper was cuckolded."When the reporter finished, Howard seized the microphone and said, "Please leave Ms. Bicker alone. It is our fault that we were too much in love with each other. I would give up anything for her, and she promised to divorce for me. Neither of us is at fault. It is just that we have met each other too late."The room erupted again at Howard's words.Gilbert suddenly looked at Kisa with a sneer, his eyes as icy as frost. "I didn't know that he was actually the reason you couldn't wait to sign the divorce papers. Oh, what an ardent love for each other."Kisa pursed her lips and said noth
