Sharon chimed in from the side.

"It is not impossible. That woman always likes to flaunt herself."

She laughed sarcastically and turned to Adrien. "Uncle Adrien, my mom divorced my dad solely for you this time, and we even offered our sincere gift of The Case Group's shares as a dowry for you. You'd better give my mom a proper title soon."

Carolyn pouted and whined, "Yeah, if you don't marry me soon, I will become a laughingstock."

Adrien smiled, his lips curling up. "Don't worry, I won't let you down." But his eyes had a hint of coldness. "After I take a trip to Oceanville, I will give you a wedding of the century."

His passionate promise was like poppy, causing countless women to be mesmerized and lost in a dreamy haze. Carolyn was immediately enchanted, her face full of sweetness, forgetting all about questioning Adrien about Kisa.

Since returning to the Kooper residence, Kisa had been sleeping restlessly. Although nothing had happened, everything seemed too calm, and she had

    Gilbert furrowed his brows, thinking of something. He turned around and sure enough, there was Kisa descending the stairs, wrapped in a coat. Even with the coat on, she still looked fragile and delicate."What are you doing down here? Don't you know it is freezing out there?" Gilbert chided her, feeling irked that she could be so careless.Kisa just grinned and replied, "I wanted to see what you guys were talking about." She looked at Christopher. She was done with her father, the emotional attachment she once felt had evaporated with every instance of his unfair treatment toward her. She barely glanced at Christopher for a few seconds before redirecting her gaze, flashing a smile at Gilbert. "It is freezing out here with the snow. Let's head inside, shall we?""Okay." Gilbert nodded and gently supported her as they walked into the house.Christopher's heart raced as he saw the situation unfold before him. Desperately, he reached out and grabbed Kisa's arm. "Kisa, please help me. I

    The driver immediately jumped out of the car after receiving Adrien's orders.Adrien's sharp eyes glinted with malice as he watched Christopher emerge from the Kooper residence. He thought to himself, "Those who caused me to lose everything back then won't get off easy!"Christopher refused to get in the car, his eyes fixed on the man inside with disgust. Adrien, smoking his cigarette, chuckled softly, "If you want to know why your daughter won't help you, then get in the car."With a disgusted spit, Christopher finally got in. As they drove away, Gilbert watched the taillights disappear into the night, his brows furrowing.Kisa walked downstairs, shivering from the cold. She turned on the heater and looked at the man's tall figure with a sense of distance. After thinking for a moment, she whispered, "I never thought Christopher would come looking for you. He brought his downfall upon himself, so you don't have to help him."Gilbert reached out his hand toward the window, trying t

    His forehead creased with worry lines. She could not sleep, and neither could he. Sometimes, he felt like keeping this woman around was nothing but torture. But he could not bring himself to let her go, he could not bear to see her leave.The next day, the snow stopped, but the ground was left wet and slushy. Kisa was a little disappointed. As she descended the stairs, she was surprised to find Gilbert still at home. Her disappointment vanished instantly. Limping over to the table, she smiled at him and asked, "You just got home?""Mm," Gilbert replied indifferently, his eyes never leaving the newspaper.The servant soon brought a nutritious breakfast, along with a bowl of bone broth. The soup smelled terrible, but Kisa obediently drank it to please her man. Just as she finished, Gilbert put down the paper and said emotionlessly, "Don't go out these days. Behave yourself. I will take you to Oceanville."The resentful look in Christopher's eyes last night and the car that disappeare

    As Kisa waited outside the empty gate, she could not help but wonder if she had said something wrong to drive Gilbert away. After waiting for about ten minutes, she saw him walking out of the house again. As he got into the driver's seat, she suddenly felt something warm in her embrace. Looking down, she saw that it was a hand warmer."You..." Kisa tried to express her gratitude, but before she could say anything, his cold voice interrupted her."Hold it tight. I don't want my child to be cold."Kisa took a deep breath and all her emotions turned into frustration. As the car started moving, she drew patterns on the foggy window. Without turning her head, she whispered to Gilbert, "Were you willing to come with me to see Jensen because you were worried about me?""No," Gilbert replied coldly. "I just happened to have some free time, and I didn't want you to do something foolish that could harm my child." He had been particularly harsh with her lately.Kisa had just drawn a smiling

    Mia looked down, masking the disappointment in her eyes. This man's personality had changed drastically since waking up - becoming sinister, unpredictable, and cold-hearted. He wanted more than just the Kooper family; he wanted Kisa too.She did not know what impact the car accident had on him, but he had always hated the Kooper family. Yet, he had never truly sought revenge on them, let alone thought of hurting Gilbert. Even if he loved Kisa, he would never have any indecent thoughts toward her because of his relationship with Gilbert.But now everything was different. He was like a demon hiding in the darkness, waiting to emerge after everything settled to select what he wanted, including wealth and women."I'll take my leave for now. You should smoke less. After all, your body hasn't fully recovered." No response. Mia laughed bitterly, not surprised at all. She admitted that her love was too insignificant, so much so that she did not care about anything as long as she could stay

    Mia's face twisted into a sneer; her eyes cold as she spoke. "Kisa, how much do you love Gilbert to still be defending him at this point? You're such a fake and insincere woman, aren't you? Your words about revenge were nothing but lies. I can't believe Jensen is into someone like you. You may not want to avenge him, but don't you dare defend a killer." Despite the cause and effect of that accident being unknown, she firmly believed that it was all because of Gilbert's relentless pursuit that led to the tragedy.Kisa shook her head. "I'm not defending him. I'm simply pointing out that there may be more to this accident than what meets the eye. Adrien had Jensen hide the warden, and he deliberately leaked that information to Gilbert through Lea. Gilbert's pursuit of Jensen led to the accident, so it is possible that this was all part of Adrien's twisted scheme. Jensen is not the kind of person to lose control of a car like that, especially not with his driving skills. Someone must have

    Kisa chuckled, "Well, that's it. I hope what I said to you today won't get back to Adrien's ears, because he still looks like a kind elder in front of me."Mia pursed her lips. "Don't worry. I don't want to get involved in your business. Right now, I just want to stay with Jensen."Kisa pursed her lips. "I hope Jensen wakes up soon." She had so many questions she wanted to ask Jensen."That's enough. Whether he wakes up or not, it's not up to you. You'd better leave now. Don't come back unless necessary. No matter how many times you come, I won't let you see him.""You are quite bossy." Kisa laughed."Hey, you stole all the men. How can I not be bossy?"Kisa laughed but felt incredibly sad inside. They could not spend Christmas Eve together again this year. The promise seemed impossible to fulfill.Mia returned to the second floor. Jensen was still sitting in that dark corner, cigarette in hand, and the room was filled with smoke. His addiction to cigarettes had never been so st

    "Do you know why your daughter wouldn't help you? It's because she is working with me now. She wants you to be ruined, with nothing left. How could she possibly help you?""The truth is, she asked me to seduce your wife, and she asked me to take down The Case Group from you, because she wants to avenge her mother.""You're such a pathetic father. In the end, you were humiliated by your own flesh and blood."Adrien's words echoed in Christopher's ears, pushing him further toward the edge of insanity. He quickly turned the car around and headed straight toward the two of them.Kisa's face turned pale. Gilbert quickly picked her up and pushed her toward the greenery on the side. As the car approached at breakneck speed, Gilbert dodged out of the way, but was still hit hard by the right side of the car.Kisa's heart was pounding so fast she thought it would stop. She screamed "Gilbert!" and watched as Christopher drove away. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she glared at the car di

    In a small town in the South, a gentle breeze caressed the cheeks of passersby, creating a pleasant and serene atmosphere. This town, known for its tourism, was adorned with flowers even in its narrow alleys. The surrounding houses were all quaint inns, exuding a poetic and picturesque charm.Beneath an arching bridge, Kisa set up an easel to display and sell her paintings. She had always loved painting since childhood. Although she had not achieved great success in this field, her vivid and evocative paintings were very popular with tourists. She would sell most of her paintings every day.On weekends, Blake would join her at the stall, but today was Wednesday, and she was alone. After arranging her paintings, she had barely sat down when people began to gather around. Some admired her art, while others immediately offered to buy. Her paintings were reasonably priced, which attracted many customers."Miss, I'd like that painting of the snow-covered rose garden at night.""Alright,

    In the backyard, Kohen looked at his older brother's calm expression, a hint of worry in his voice. "Bro, are you alright?""I'm fine," Hayes said, adjusting the blanket on his lap. "Tomorrow, take me to meet those medical geniuses you found.""Oh, sure..." Kohen nodded in agreement, but after a moment, he could not help but ask, "Bro, what did that woman say to you that made you change your mind so suddenly?"Hayes gazed at the stars in the sky, his voice cool and distant. "She told me she's doing well, very happy. Then she pointed out how pitiful and miserable I am right now. She asked me if I don't feel envious, knowing how well she is doing compared to me."Kohen grimaced, realizing that the woman had provoked his brother into action.Hayes lowered his eyes, a faint smile on his face. "That's right. How could I not be envious? So, I want to heal my legs, live a good life, and show her that I can do better than her."Kohen felt a pang of sympathy for his brother. From Hayes's

    Mentioning Hayes, Eylul's expression became complex. "Hayes is reclusive and doesn't like to see people. Only a single old servant has been taking care of him all these years. I only met him once, back when I married Kohen."Mia's heart ached, recalling the enigmatic yet deeply emotional man. She could not help but feel a lump in her throat. "How's his health?" Mia asked.Eylul replied, "His health is fine, but his legs have remained the same. Kohen has found top orthopedic experts for him and even sought out Kelvin Hoover from Calthon, but he refuses treatment. For so many years, he hasn't even stepped outside the backyard.""You mean he's been living in the backyard all this time?" Jensen asked gravely.Eylul nodded. "Yes, Kohen wanted him to live in the main house, but he refused. He only likes staying in the backyard. Moreover, the room he stays in used to be..." Eylul glanced at Mia. She had heard that Mia used to live in that room.With a complicated expression, Mia pursed h

    "Let's forget everything that just happened,' Mia said.Jensen looked up at her. In the moonlight, his eyes were deep and complex, profound and unfathomable.Mia tried to muster a smile. "You don't have to feel burdened. In a way, I forced you. And you must have always disliked me. Actually, I didn't come to you for money; I just wanted to see you. Now that I have, I should go. Jensen, from now on... take care."With that, she walked away, fearing that if she lingered any longer, she would not be able to leave. But after only a few steps, she was embraced from behind.Jensen's voice was low and hoarse. "Stay with me."Mia trembled at his words. Jensen continued. "But I still have so many things to do and someone in my heart I can't let go of. I don't know... when I will be able to give you a satisfactory answer. If you don't want to stay with me without any promises or guarantees, you can—""I'm willing," Mia blurted out, "as long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything

    Mia's face changed instantly. " You... you know I like Jensen, why would you...""Heh, if you like Jensen, shouldn't you be willing to do anything for him? If you can't even do this, how can you claim to love him?""I won't do it! Doing this would be betraying Jensen. I would risk my life for him, but I can't do this."Adrien stared at her flushed face and gently chuckled, his words loaded with meaning. "Aren't you feeling all hot and bothered yet?"Mia frowned. Her body was indeed getting hotter and more agitated. 'Why would Adrien ask this? Could it be the drink...?'As the thought crossed her mind, her heart sank. Seeing Adrien's cold expression and the man's playful smile, Mia turned and ran. But before she could take more than a few steps, she was dragged back. Weakened by the drink, her desperate struggles were futile. As the man pressed her down, playing with her like a toy, she closed her eyes in despair. She thought she could never face Jensen again. With a bitter laugh,

    Adrien Tanner, Jensen's father, stood before Mia with a warm smile. "My son is truly awkward when it comes to matters of the heart. He's even willing to refuse such a beautiful young woman like you."Mia stared at him, her tears suddenly streaming down her face. "I only wanted to see him, even if it was to face rejection. Wouldn't it better to say it clearly to my face?""Yes, it would." Adrien agreed. "But standing here stubbornly won't help, because he left on a business trip a couple of days ago."Mia's heart ached even more, realizing that Jensen had avoided using the front door just to evade her.Adrien continued. "I have a way to make him come to you willingly, but it depends on whether you're willing to cooperate."Mia nodded. "What do I have to do?"Adrien motioned to his bodyguard, who handed him a glass of wine. "Drink this," he said.Mia furrowed her brow, hesitant.Adrien gently patted her shoulder, like a father would."Don't be afraid. I won't harm you. From the

    Filled with guilt, Mia stepped forward, but Kohen suddenly pulled out a handgun and aimed it at her."Get out!"Jensen pulled Mia back. He looked at the cold man before him. It was this man who had taken him in years ago. At that time, Kohen was young, a carefree and privileged young man. Now, he seemed to have grown up all at once, his eyes colder and more distant.Jensen said with a troubled expression, "If you ever need me in the future, don't hesitate to find me."Kohen sneered coldly; pain etched in his brow. He mocked himself. "I never should have taken you in back then. In the end, it was I who harmed my own brother."Jensen pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, only feeling an unbearable pain in his heart. It was the first time he felt he owed someone. That sense of indebtedness suffocated him."Get out, and don't let me see you two ever again."On that night, Jensen and Mia left the McCray family. As a result of Hayes's ordeal, the McCray family underwent tremendous

    "What on earth happened?"Jensen did not speak. Mia choked out. "The collaboration between the Burton family and the McCray family was a trap. We were ambushed by the Burton family, and Hayes... he was hit by a car trying to save us.""Damn it!" Kohen cursed under his breath, abruptly pulling a knife from a nearby bodyguard and pointing it at them. "What are your lives worth? Why would my brother save you? Why?"Mia bit her lip, tears streaming down her face. 'It's my fault. I wanted to save Jensen, but I should have gone alone. I shouldn't have dragged Hayes into this. He seemed cold-blooded and heartless, and I never thought that he would risk his life for me. Why was he so good to me?'"Kohen..."Suddenly, a weak cry rang out. Hayes had awakened.Kohen hurriedly moved closer, gripping Hayes's hand. "Bro!"Hayes's face was deathly pale. He did not look at Kohen, but instead turned his gaze to Mia. His eyes were calm. He saw Mia's red-rimmed eyes and the tears lingering there,

    Hayes was sent flying by the car, his body crashing into a wall before bouncing back.Mia's entire body felt ice-cold as she trembled, yelling, "Hayes!""Kill them all!" A hoarse, aged voice suddenly rang out from the entrance. It was Curtis. He looked at Kendall's lifeless body on the ground, his eyes filled with rage, shouting, "Run them over! I want them to join my grandson in death!""Ah!" Jensen roared, disregarding the guards' swinging knives, and like a madman, charged at Curtis. Curtis's face changed, desperately pulling a nearby guard in front of him as a shield. But it was useless. Jensen, like a crazed beast, attacked anyone in his path. Soon, his knife was held against Curtis's throat.Curtis trembled all over. "Wh-What do you want?"Jensen, covered in blood with splatters on his face, looked like a demon that had emerged from a battleground. He grabbed Curtis and held him hostage in front of him. "Let us go!""Don't even think about it!" Curtis retorted angrily. "You
