It was obvious that Davian had just regained consciousness from being knocked out. He touched the back of his neck, looking dazed. "Mrs. Kooper, what happened? I heard they said that Mrs. Kooper Sr. had woken up."Kisa nodded. "Did you see the person who knocked you out?" she asked.The mention of this made Davian angry, "I listened to your instructions and hid in the closet to monitor everything in the room, but there was no movement at all. I had to go to the toilet, so I decided to head out for a bit, but someone hit me in the back of my head with a stick. If I catch whoever did this to me, I'm going to kill them!"Kisa was not surprised at Davian's reply. As she expected, Sharon would never have let him see her when she knocked him out.Davian saw her pained expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Mrs. Kooper, what happened last night? Did you get answers when you questioned Sharon Case? When I was in there, I asked the others, but they didn't even give me a glance."Kisa lowe
"Enough. I can't believe that you are still trying to deny it. It was my fault that I saw something good in you and gave you the chance to hurt my grandson," Mrs. Kooper Sr. said as she burst into tears of regret.Kisa felt her body freeze up. She shook her head hastily and said, "Grandma, what is happening? You were the one who called me that night and told me that you had something important to ask me. When I arrived, you were already lying on the floor, covered in blood. I did not push you. You know that it wasn't me. Why are you saying that it's me?"Kisa did not know what to do. Even the grandmother who had loved her the most was actually blaming her.Mrs. Kooper Sr.'s face grew colder and colder, "Nonsense. I didn't call you that night. It's clear that you held a grudge against my grandson for not loving you, so you took it out on me. Thankfully, I'm tougher than I look.""N-No, it's not like that…"Sharon took this as an opportunity to say, "Sister, I can't believe it was y
Kisa's words were filled with sorrow and despair.And Gilbert only felt a twitch in his heart.But the thought of his grandmother being in a coma for five years and almost could never wake up again, the hatred in his heart started to boil again.Davian was a little moved by those words. He turned to Gilbert and cautiously said, " Mr. Gilbert, could there be some misunderstanding there? Ma'am looks like...""I'm the victim, why would I be lying?"Before Davian could even finish speaking, Mrs. Kooper Sr. let out a cold snort.Davian shook his head in fright, "No, no, I did not mean that. I... I...""Davian, did my sister buy your loyalty, or do you actually like her?"Sharon immediately seized the opportunity to lead the topic away.Davian was speechless as he spat back, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just felt that there's something weird about this.""What's weird about that? Grandma was the victim and she knew what happened then best. Since Grandma said it was big s
Mrs. Kooper Sr.'s expression immediately changed, "What are you trying to imply there? Are you suspecting Grandma of lying?"Gilbert shook his head.He demurred for a moment before softly said, "She had been waiting for you to wake up all this time, and she was happier than anyone else when you did. Could she really be the person who pushed you?"Mrs. Kooper Sr. was taken aback for a moment.But soon, hatred soon appeared on her face again, "She was just pretending. You always told me that she was good at pretending and lying, and that I should not fall for her lies. And now look at you, you've fallen for her trickery. I can only imagine what sort of poison she had fed you for the past five years.""She was dead for the past five years."Mrs. Kooper Sr. was stunned, "What do you mean?"Gilbert shook his head and said sorrowfully, "Grandma, you should be able to tell how she had suffered for the past five years, so much so that she's almost no longer human."Mrs. Kooper Sr. tugg
Sharon was shocked, "What do you mean, Mom?""Remember how I left the beauty agency much earlier that night?"Sharon nodded.Carolyn gleefully said, "I actually went to look for that old hag first, and I even told her a little secret. It is because of that secret that the old hag started to hate that mutt, Kisa to the bone."Sharon's curiosity was immediately piqued, "What secret is it? Tell me, Mom.""Since it's a secret, the fewer people that knows about it the better.""What? You're not even telling me this much, am I even your daughter then?" Carolyn immediately became serious. "You don't understand, the more people know of this secret, the more disadvantaged I'll be. In any case, as long as that old Kooper family hag knows about it, Kisa will no longer have a backing and it will be difficult for her to return to the Kooper family. When the time comes, the position of the mistress of the Kooper family is all but yours."Although Sharon was still curious about the secret, w
She was holding a walking stick and her complexion looked much better than when she had just awoken.But the way she looked at Kisa seethed with disgust and hatred.She slammed the walking stick on to the floor and said sternly to Gilbert, "Why is this woman still here? Didn't I told you to throw her out?""She just only woke up; her body is still weak.""So what? Throw her out, now. Seeing her pisses me off.""Grandma..." Gilbert was conflicted. "You didn't treat her like that in the past.""That was because I didn't know her true vicious side of her. Now that I'm awake, I will not allow her to step foot into the Kooper residence so that she will never stain our floors ever again."Gilbert's expression turned slightly gloomy as he responded stubbornly, "I will not chase her out now. At least wait until she's feeling better."When Mrs. Kooper Sr. heard that, she got angry, "You unfilial whelp, she did that to me and still you're protecting her? Why? You really fell for her?""
Gilbert froze as he gave her a pained look.Yet her expression was even more pained than his, "Don't you forget, she was the one who hurt me. Do you really want me to die by her hands before you're satisfied?"Gilbert clenched his fist tightly but when he heard what his grandma said in the end, a sense of powerlessness that he could not put to words welled up within him.The Case residence.Christopher ran into the house soaking wet as he said with a puzzled tone, "Strange, Mrs. Kooper Sr. actually chased Kisa out of the Kooper residence."Carolyn tossed the magazine away as she snorted, "What? You're taking pity of that mutt?""Of course not!" Christopher walked over as he dried himself. "I'm just curious. Didn't that old hag liked her?""That's because she was the culprit that pushed that old hag down the stairs.""What? How could that be?"Carolyn's voice turned shrill, "Why not? She's an ungrateful mutt! I tell you, no taking pity of her. You are not to help her even if sh
Sharon frowned at seeing the face of the woman in front of her turn pale. She said viciously, "What are you doing? I'm telling you—I can now fix you as easily as killing an ant. Don't try to pull any tricks in front of me. Otherwise— Aaaaaah!"Before Sharon could finish her sentence, a wooden stick hit her hard on the back. She screamed and fell into a puddle on the ground.Kisa snapped back and was ready to run. Just as she spun around, she felt a dull pain shot through the back of her shoulder. She grunted, eyes rolling back, and she passed out at once.The spring rain went on and on, and worries flooded his mind. Gilbert was standing in front of the window looking out at the rain, his upright back exuding an indescribable loneliness and sadness.Davian sorted his hair, which was blown out of shape by the wind and rain, before he came in. "Mr. Kooper.""Is there any news of her whereabouts?""I have sent men to look everywhere, but they haven't found Mrs. Kooper."Gilbert was
