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
Kelvin glanced at Kisa's mournful face and then at Gilbert's dark expression, choosing to stay silent.Madalyn was frantic about Gilbert's injury, but when she saw his contemptuous behavior toward Kisa, a glimmer of satisfaction flickered in her eyes.Two servants helped Gilbert up to the upper floor, and Kisa followed quietly. As soon as they reached upstairs, Gilbert tossed his coat aside, revealing a large rip on the sleeve and bloodstains around it.Madalyn saw Gilbert's bloody hand, fuming with rage. "What the hell happened? He was fine a moment ago. Why is he like this now? Did that woman have something to do with it?" Madalyn's finger pointed at Kisa, her voice laced with anger.Kisa remained tight-lipped.Gilbert was irritated and spoke in a muffled voice, "It was just an accident, and nobody's responsible for it."Madalyn wanted to lash out again, but Gilbert's surly expression held her back. All she could do was hope that Kisa would give birth soon and stay away from he
Gilbert sat slumped against the headboard of the bed, while Kisa lay beside him. A heavy sense of gloom surrounded him, and his eyes were half-closed. Kisa stared at him, her eyes wide open, fixated on his chiseled jawline.Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Gilbert spoke. "Did you wish for me to be hit by a car just now?"Kisa blinked, then shook her head. "No, of course not."Gilbert's lips twisted into a cold smirk. "Really? You may not want me dead, but you certainly don't seem to care if I suffer."Kisa sat up and reached for his wounded arm. "You are bleeding badly. Let me help you.""Get away from me," Gilbert snapped, his arm flailing.Kisa was thrown off the bed and landed hard on the floor, her stomach hurting from the impact. She looked up at Gilbert, hurt and confused."Don't play dumb with me," Gilbert said, his eyes filled with anger. "I may be worried about this child, but I'm not stupid."Kisa said nothing but turned her back to him and lay down on the
"Give it a try," Adrien said.Kisa pretended to hesitate for a moment before reluctantly agreeing. But inside, she was thrilled. Finally, she would not have to put on an act of indifference toward Gilbert in front of Adrien anymore.Meanwhile, in the study, Gilbert sat in front of the surveillance monitor, lips curled in a contemptuous sneer. He tilted his head back and took a long swig of the wine, his cold, crimson eyes narrowing in disdain. 'Feigning concern for me? She is a born actress, and her charade is executed with precision. If I hasn't installed the surveillance, I would have been fooled again. Why does she enjoy manipulating people so much? Which of her words are even genuine?'Later that evening, Kisa sat in her room, her dinner served on a tray by the diligent servant. She asked about Gilbert, but the servant reported that he was in the study, and his dinner had been brought to him. Kisa had considered seeing and talking to him, but her fear of his wrath held her back.
Blake could not help but feel a twinge of sadness as he watched his siblings snuggle up to Kisa and call her "Mommy". He longed to do the same, but he was too afraid of what might happen if he acknowledged his biological parents. His godparents had warned him that it could put everyone in danger, and while he did not understand why, he did not want to take any chances.But then Ada tugged on his hand and beamed up at him. "Blake, you can call her Mommy too! We're all Mommy's good children."Blake looked at Kisa.Kisa nodded in agreement. "Yes, Blake. You can call me Mommy if you want to."For a moment, Blake hesitated, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. But then he shook his head. "Ma'am is enough for me."Kisa thought he was missing his biological mother, and without pressing him further, she reached out and gently ran her hand over his hair."Blake, we all care about you. You can talk to us about anything that is bothering you."Andrew put his arm around Blake's shoulder,
However, her struggling and retching only made Gilbert narrow his eyes with a cold gaze. He suddenly pushed her away and shouted at her, "If you're disgusted by me, why bother pretending to care about me? Why bother trying to please me? Get out, just get out!"He was clearly drunk and seemed to have forgotten about the baby in her womb. His push was powerful, and the bathroom floor was slippery. Kisa stumbled several steps but managed to grab onto the nearby sink to prevent herself from falling. She looked at Gilbert in horror, only to see him standing there with one hand on his hip, the other against the wall, exuding a terrifying aura. His arm was still bleeding, and the injured flesh had turned white from being soaked in water, a gruesome sight to behold.Despite everything, Kisa was still concerned about his well-being. She took a deep breath and cautiously approached him. From behind, she wrapped her arms around him, holding him carefully and tentatively. Gilbert did not push he
