Everyone in the Mullen family was shocked when they found out that 50% of the family's property and business shares were given to Anthony. Albert got 10%, while Leon, Isaac, and Joe each got only 5%. Meanwhile, Vivian got 15%, and finally Mrs. Mullen Sr. got 10%.Kisa was also taken aback when she heard about the distribution of the inheritance. She looked at Kelvin and asked, "Are you sure? The distribution numbers seem rather unreasonable. Doesn't this mean that Anthony is now the head of the Mullen family? Wasn't he the most unfavorable one out of them all?""Yeah. That's why the other sons of the Mullen family went crazy. They're saying that he killed Mr. Mullen Sr. and forged the will. Leon, Isaac, and Joe are planning to join forces and sue Anthony."Kisa frowned. "What happened next? There hasn't been any news from the Mullen family in the past half a month. Has the inheritance dispute been resolved?""The only reason there hasn't been any news is that Anthony had something
Kisa slowly looked up and saw Gilbert's indifferent handsome face. She had been recuperating in the villa for over half a month now and saw the man day and night. The man had never smiled at her during the time she was there.Even though the two slept on the same bed, they had their backs facing each other, which made Kisa feel lonely and bitter. However, she did not say a word about his indifference and had no right to blame him. All she could do was bear it in silence.'I have to figure out Adrien's true purpose before telling him anything,' she thought.Kelvin had come over several times and noticed that Gilbert was upset. Seeing the gloomy expression on the man's face, Kelvin walked over to him tactfully with the help of his crutch. His leg had been injured when the basement had collapsed the other day, but it was not as serious as Kisa's injury. He was still able to walk around with his crutches, while Kisa had to sit in a wheelchair."I'll visit you in a few days, Kisa. Ms. M
"Then I'll feed you!"After saying that, Gilbert raised her chin with one of his hands, forcing her to look up. Before Kisa could say anything, the man pried her mouth open with two fingers. The woman was in pain and wanted to shout at him, but the man had no mercy. He poured the chicken soup directly into her mouth.Although his actions were rough, the soup did not splash out of Kisa's mouth. It wasn't until she was forced to swallow that the man let her go. Kisa started to choke and cough non-stop as her stomach began to churn. She then bent over and started to hurl. However, nothing came out of her. She caressed her own chest while she suffered.'F*ck me. This man must think I was only pretending to throw up all this while, huh?'Just as she expected, the man took a few steps back and looked at her with a sneer. "Didn't you say you can't drink it? Why were you able to down it without any issues then?"Kisa's face was red, making her pale face look livelier. She held onto the ar
"My eyes fooled me? What do you mean? Do you think I'm so crazy that I couldn't even recognize Sara? Or do you think that I'm intentionally putting the blame on her? Huh?""That's not what I'm saying, Kisa." Kelvin frowned and said, "It's just… There's no way that Sara would hide there. And, even if what you say is true, even if she was really there, there's no way she's capable of doing those things. She's so kind; she wouldn't even dream of hurting a fly. There's no way she could have done all that to put our life in danger."'Hah. Even Kelvin has a high opinion of her. Gilbert, who has always seen her as an angel, would never believe me.' Kisa suddenly became a little frustrated.She lowered her head and said weakly, "You should go."Kelvin felt for her when he saw how dejected she looked. When they were younger, Gilbert had always treated this woman coldly, which made him dislike her as well. He had always thought that Gilbert and Sara would end up together. After knowing that
"What?" Gilbert turned to look at Kisa, pulling his hand away as if he hated her touch. Kisa took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in her heart, and said calmly, "I have something to tell you.""Is that so? Go ahead then." The man's tone was light. He walked to the window, opened it wide, and took out a box of cigarettes. He grabbed one of the cigarettes and lit it. Kisa noticed that Gilbert had been smoking more and more these days.The man took a big puff and exhaled the smoke before impatiently saying, "I don't have all day, you know. Time is ticking, and I have matters to attend to. So, talk."Kisa grabbed her blanket tightly and said, "I saw Sara in the Mullen family's basement."Gilbert paused. He looked directly at Kisa, but her dull eyes showed no emotion. "What are you trying to imply?" he chuckled."I'm not implying anything. I'm just stating the facts.""Oh? What are your so-called facts then?" the man asked casually. Under the lingering smoke, his handsome face beca
"True feelings? Heh, Uncle Adrien, you are too easy to fool. That guy didn't rescue me out of the kindness of his heart, he just stumbled upon me while searching for Sara in the basement. Saving me was just a happy coincidence. Do you really think he has feelings for me? It was all an act! Who knows if it's just a ploy he and Sara cooked up together? And now he is keeping me locked up in his private villa, torturing me every day. So, do you still think he has feelings for me? I'm here to get revenge, for everything that has happened to me and Jensen. No matter what he does, it won't change my mission."Adrien seemed pleased with her response. "Alright, Kisa, I'll help you get revenge. Just stay close to Mr. Kooper and gain his trust. When the time is right, I will let you know what to do. Take care of yourself.""Thanks, Uncle Adrien," Kisa said, hanging up and letting out a smile. She felt that Adrien was so eager to see Gilbert and her fight each other to the death, but the more he
He roared, tossing Kisa to the side with a flick of his hand, sending a few strands of hair fluttering in the air."Ow!"Kisa's scalp throbbed as she fought off the dizziness. She mentally cursed the man a million times over.'What kind of guy hits a girl? And pulls her hair? Unbelievable!'Despite the rage boiling inside her, she plastered on a fake smile. After all, she had to keep this brute calm until she could clear things up. She did not want to feel his wrath anymore.The more Kisa grinned, the more the man scowled. He narrowed his eyes and balled up his fist, as if he could crush her like a bug. When her happy act did not work, she switched to a pitiful one, batting her eyes and pouting. They say tears are a girl's best weapon, so she forced a few droplets out of her eyes and looked up at him with all the innocence she could muster."Those words you overheard were just a misunderstanding," she whimpered. "I was lying to Adrien. You've got to believe me. I said I hated you
Kisa's face scrunched up as she thought of her way up to the spot. With how hard it was for her to move, the ten-minute trek would take a lot out of her, and the thought of a 20-minute round trip was daunting, especially when she was on crutches. But she put on a brave face and approached Gilbert with a plan to haggle. That was until he shot her a cold, hard look that cut off her words mid-sentence. It made her grit her teeth and grip her crutches a little tighter in frustration.Gilbert's eyes darted down to his wristwatch and spoke with a flat tone, "It's been a minute already."She could not help but notice that it was the very watch she had gifted him earlier and her anger dissipated just a little bit, thinking no matter what, he still carried with him the things she gave him.She opened the car door, after a quick glance at the road ahead, she turned to him and asked, "And if I don't come back in half an hour, what then?""Then I'll leave you in the cemetery for the night and
