It had been a moment before Gilbert finally released her, gasping for air, his eyes as black as midnight.

Kisa regained her composure and gave him a quizzical look. "What's up with you?" she asked.

Instead of answering, he pulled her in for a tight hug, seeming oddly vulnerable. He buried his head in her neck and murmured, "I just want to be with you, like really be together."

Kisa's heart ached with emotion. She wrapped her arms around him and spoke with conviction, "We will be."

'Just as soon as David's drama is over with. No more drama, no more issues.'

The next day, as they were leaving the Webb residence, Peter was a no-show. Mr. Webb Sr. and Thomas saw them off at the airport. Mr. Webb Sr. tried to convince Gilbert to stay longer, saying, "You guys came all this way. Why not stay a little longer?"

"Yeah, there is a ton of amazing sceneries and views in Oceanville I haven't shown Mrs. Kooper yet," Thomas said.

Gilbert gave Thomas a pointed look, then told Mr. Webb Sr., "Nah

    As Christmas drew closer, Adrien's club was buzzing more than ever. Kisa strutted straight to the VIP section. She had called Adrien before coming, so he was waiting for her in the lobby.Besides Adrien, Carolyn and her daughter were also there, and they seemed to be practically glued to him. Every time Kisa came around, they were all over him like white on rice. Carolyn was beaming with excitement, and Sharon was acting more snobbish than ever.As soon as she spotted Kisa, she started sniping at her. "Oh, I heard GK is about to bite the dust. You here to beg my dad for a lifeline?"Kisa just chuckled and shot her a glance. "Did you fall and hit your head? Your daddy's behind bars.""You!" Sharon glared at her, then wrapped her arms around Adrien's, trying to be cute. "Daddy, look at her. She's so rude."Adrien patted her hand and reassured her with a chuckle. "Relax, honey. I will deal with her later. You and your mom go have some fun. I need to talk to Kisa about some important

    Kisa prodded, "Isn't that a little too easy for him? You said you wanted to deliver a fatal blow. I want to know what it is."Adrien gave her a sharp glance. He was a master manipulator, and his calculating eyes hinted at a deeper game.He chuckled. "I can't spill the beans just yet. Where is the fun in that? But hey, you won't have to wait much longer."Kisa felt let down.She stood by the roadside for a while, then headed over to Mia's place. With Christmas approaching, the streets were packed with shoppers. But when she arrived at Mia's apartment, the silence and dim lighting felt almost suffocating.Mia was alone, drinking in the living room. As soon as she saw Kisa, she broke into a sly smile."Long time no see," Mia drawled as she pulled Kisa onto the couch. She offered her a drink with a smirk, "Come on, have a drink with me."Kisa declined. "No thanks. I have to drive later.""What's there to worry about? Just call Gilbert to come pick you up. Or I could get someone to

    Adult affairs could be a real head-scratcher, and little ones just could not wrap their minds around it. Kisa did not utter a word. She just wanted to dash up and check on Madalyn. But those rug rats would not budge.In their eyes, she was public enemy number one. She gritted her teeth against the bitterness in her heart, gazing at the children as her vision started to blur.Just then, Gilbert made his way downstairs, with Kelvin tailing him. His face was still pale, but his furrowed brow spoke volumes about his frustration and exhaustion.Kisa took a deep breath and hustled over. "How's your grandma doing?"Gilbert said not a word. Kelvin answered in a flat tone, "Not great, especially considering her age.""I'll go check on her," Kisa said, ready to charge upstairs, but Gilbert grabbed her arm.He glared at her with cold eyes. "Don't go up there and stir things up again."Kisa's heart skipped a beat, but she kept her trap shut.Gilbert let her go and added with little emotion

    "She went to the Kooper residence today and spilled her guts to Madalyn, claiming that I joined forces with outsiders to drive GK into bankruptcy. Mrs. Kooper Sr. was so ticked off that she ended up collapsing from the stress."Adrien's face darkened as he listened to Kisa's story, but he remained silent.Kisa continued. "And because of that, Gilbert went ballistic and kicked me out of the Kooper residence. Now I can't even get close to GK's secret stash if I want to. So Godfather, if you end up not making a dime off the Kooper family, don't blame me. Blame that knucklehead."Kisa pointed straight at Sharon, intentionally making sure Carolyn heard her words.Carolyn dragged Sharon to the couch, fuming. "Didn't I tell you to keep your cool? How can you be so clueless and mess everything up like this? You're driving me nuts!""I-I didn't know it would come to this. I—""Enough. Apologize to Kisa." Carolyn interrupted her, pushing Sharon toward Kisa, who stood there, arms crossed, a

    It was a quiet and chilly night at the mansion, but it did not feel like a celebration was on the horizon. The servants had already left by 8 pm, leaving Adrien alone in the massive living room. He was staring off into space with a strange grin on his face that sent shivers down Kisa's spine.Kisa put on a fake smile and walked over to him. "Godfather, are you so pumped for tomorrow's wedding that you can't even sleep?"He turned his head mechanically, and his peculiar gaze swept over her. After a moment, he smirked meaningfully. "Oh, yeah. I'm so stoked I can't even close my eyes.""Haha, I never thought even my level-headed godfather would be losing his cool over his own wedding."Adrien's lips curled up, and his eyes gleamed. "Just thinking about tomorrow gets me all worked up. I've waited for this day for so long, hehehe... hehehe..."Adrien's chilling laughter echoed through the room.Kisa could not help but shiver as she watched him."Kisa," Adrien suddenly called out.St

    Sharon strutted over, arms crossed, and demanded Kisa answer her mother's question."Hey, my mom is talking to you. Answer her already! You've been kicked out by Gilbert, so now you're trying to kiss up to my mom? Give me a break. Gilbert might have loved and protected you before, but now GK is about to go belly up. He's like a stray dog, and he won't have time for you anymore. My parents are the only ones worth impressing now, so you'd better answer my mom's question."Carolyn sat nearby, admiring her freshly painted nails with an air of superiority.Kisa sneered at Sharon and retorted, "You've been doing all the talking, so how am I supposed to answer? If you want an answer so badly, then shut your mouth.""You trash!" Sharon cursed and raised her hand to slap Kisa's face. At Carolyn and Adrien's wedding, it seemed like the mother and daughter duo were fearless and had no regard for anything or anyone.As Kisa instinctively dodged Sharon's slap, a large hand suddenly grabbed Sha

    People were screaming, hollering, and cussing up a storm.Kisa furrowed her brow in confusion. "What's going on?"Gilbert's eyes darkened. He let go of Kisa and stormed off toward the banquet hall. She hurriedly trailed behind, trying to reach Adrien on her phone, but he was not picking up. When they arrived at the banquet hall, Kisa glanced up at the wall and her stomach churned.There was a huge electronic screen hanging on the wall. It had been showing Carolyn's gorgeous artistic and wedding photos, but now it displayed her getting down and dirty with different guys. The video was shot using infrared cameras, and despite the darkness of the room, the scenes and characters were clear as day. The men were all scruffy, grotesque, and downright nasty.Suddenly, Kisa remembered all the sketchy beggars that had been coming and going from Adrien's club recently.'Could it be...'The thought made her shudder in revulsion.'What kind of vendetta does Adrien have against Carolyn?

    'There's no way things could be so simple, or else why would he invite Gilbert here in the first place?' Kisa thought to herself.While everyone's focus was on Carolyn and Sharon, the huge electronic screen lit up again, revealing a new set of characters. There was this fifty-something-year-old lady and a bodyguard-looking guy. Judging by the video quality and their clothing, it was an old video.Kisa furrowed her brow as she stared at the woman, feeling like she had seen her somewhere before. She then looked up at Gilbert and whispered, "Is that your grandma?"But Gilbert did not utter a word. His eyes were glued to the screen, his body taut with tension. Meanwhile, everyone else was also staring at the screen with curiosity, gossiping away like a bunch of chatty Karens. The older guests quickly identified the woman as Madalyn from back in the day, and their chatter only grew louder.The characters in the video were heard talking:"Madam, isn't this harming David a bit too much?"

    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
