Chapter 1441

"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.
