Kohen's last sentence was directed toward Jensen.Jensen's face slightly darkened, "You're only getting the land in Borealdon, don't even think about anything else." "Haha. You're still as stubborn as you used to be," Kohen chuckled and lit a cigarette. Jensen furrowed his brows and told Kisa, "You should leave first." Kisa was touched upon understanding Jensen's intention of not letting her breath in smoke, so she got up and left the room. She quietly stood outside by the door, thinking about what would Kohen want. It was obvious that Jensen knew what it was, but it seemed to be something important to him. After a few minutes, Jensen came out of the room with a cold expression.Kisa understood the deal was off and said, "It's alright. We could do well without his sponsor too."'Jensen only wanted Kohen's connections, resources, and reputation to promote the drama by asking him to invest. It was to make sure that I could get famous. I would rather not act in this drama, be
At that moment, a basketball suddenly flew toward them. Gilbert caught the ball in his long, slender hands and threw it back. Despite him being far away, the ball went cleanly through the hoop. It bounced on the ground a few times before landing in the hands of a boy who was around five or six years old.A woman with delicate features ran up to the boy and pulled him away. She was panting as she anxiously said, "Be careful. You almost hit someone."The little boy stared at Gilbert. Under the light, the boy's slightly familiar face showed a touch of maturity and seriousness that children of the same age did not have."You…" The little boy pointed at Gilbert, "You play good.""You're rather cheeky, aren't you, little guy?" Davian looked at the boy and said, his hands on his hips. However, the little boy ignored him and kept on staring at Gilbert. "Come play with me," he said."Oh, this is outrageous. Look at you. You're not even tall enough to reach Mr. Kooper's waist, yet you want
'What is Gilbert doing here?' Kisa thought. 'Fate really works in mysterious ways. I can't believe I keep running into this man again and again in such a large country.'Jensen leaned back, his slender hand tapping lightly on the car window, looking like he was thinking about something. "Fate really works in mysterious ways. I can't believe he met Blake," he chuckled after some time."That's your adopted child?" Kisa asked as she glanced over to the little boy. "He looks like he's the same age as Andrew and Ada."Jensen was stunned for a moment. A dark light flashed in his eyes. "Do you know who Andrew and Ada's mother is?" he asked with a smile.Kisa's heart ached at the mention of that. "No, I don't," she shook her head. "But… It must be someone Gilbert loved for her to bear his child.""Do you know who it is?" Kisa looked at Jensen with gentle eyes and asked.Jensen stared at her for a long time before saying, "No, I don't.""Right. How would you know when you were abroad?" K
Although the man was also wearing a mask, Kisa noticed that his brows and eyes resembled Gilbert's. Even the mysterious man's tall figure reached his. 'Is he Gilbert? Didn't he return to the country? No, it can't be. Gilbert would never come to a party like this.' Kisa could not help but laugh at herself as she thought about it a thousand times. There was no reason for her to be nervous or afraid, even if it was him.The man sat across from her but didn't speak. Instead, he stared into her eyes deeply. Kisa smiled. Her lips parted slightly to speak. Her voice sounded like how it was from five years ago. She had damaged her vocal cords in the fire, but they had slowly recovered after treatment. "Do you want a drink?" she asked.Kisa's hands looked fair and slender. The addition of her red nails made her hands look sexy. It was enough to attract the eyes of a man. However, the mystery man kept staring at her face as if trying to see through her through this mask.Kisa ignored his burn
As the music played, Kisa began to dance. She had gone for dance lessons after recovering. 'It was funny how I couldn't, for the life of me, learn how to dance in the past. I even thought that I had no talent for dance.' But now, in less than half a month, Kisa knew how to ballroom dance. Maybe it was because she was young and did not try hard enough, or perhaps it was because she thought that as long as she had Gilbert, she could do it. Now that she had the goal of revenge in her mind, she was dedicated in everything she did.The mysterious man danced very well. Every step he took was flawless, just like Gilbert had been back then.Although Kisa did not get the steps mixed up, the dance was still a little hard for her to follow. Suddenly, someone bumped into her, and she forgot the steps. She staggered and fell into the arms of the mysterious man. His chest felt hard and strong, but it also held a sense of familiarity, making Kisa's heart ache.During her years in dance, she had al
'It's weird. Why did Mr. Kooper's whole demeanor change after attending the ball? The strange smile he has on right now is unsettling. Yikes!' Davian thought. 'Is there something wrong with him? Is he turning insane all because of love?'"Uh… Sir… Are you…"'Are you going mad???'Before Davian could get his words out, Gilbert opened his mouth and said coldly, "We'll go back tomorrow." Davian almost bit his tongue upon hearing this."T-Tomorrow…?What about the thing with Kohen?""It's done." The fact that Kohen kept dragging things out with them led them to the conclusion that it was done."Does that mean we came here for nothing?" Davian slumped his shoulders and asked.'Nothing?' Gilbert stared at the mask in his hands and smiled. 'It wasn't all for nothing.' He started to smile more meaningfully when he thought of the gentle lips his lips had touched just now. He even began to look forward to Kisa's revenge.Kisa was feeling uneasy because of the incident at the ball. Mia loo
Jensen frowned, and asked softly, "Did he do anything to you?"Kisa shook her head frivolously. "That guy must be him. Hehehe…he thought he could get away with it, wearing a mask. Does he think I couldn't recognize him? You know…even if he turned into ashes, I could still easily recognize him…"Jensen listened attentively to Kisa's drunken slurs as he wiped both of her hands, face, and neck with a towel."Hehehe…"Kisa suddenly burst into laughter to the point her face was filled with tears streaking down her face."Finally, I'm going back to face him. I won't let them humiliate and bully…all the rivalry, hatred, I will get back at them. I will..." Kisa murmured and slowly closed her eyes. Jensen gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. He watched her sleep as a trace of complexity flashed across his eyes. "Damn, Jensen you're such a b*stard!"Mia Fallon had angrily smashed the furniture in the room and sat on the sofa sipping on wine afterwards.Suddenly, she
"Really? I heard the female lead has changed. I'm curious about what she looks like.""Look. There's a lot of paparazzi and reporters around here. We must hurry up if we want to take a glance at her."…Carolyn dragged Sharon Case along and anxiously said, "Look. A rookie already has gotten so much attention. No matter how bad your face is, your limelight will soon be robbed by others." Sharon is also very hateful. People used to turn heads upon seeing her arrive at the airport. Ever since her face injury, these days she has been living like the son of a gun. She does not even dare to show her face in public, she doesn't even have the eligibility to comment on it. She was very pissed about it.Carolyn was unconvinced, "I don't believe that a rookie could have garner this much attention bigger than an international superstar. Whether she has connections, or that she was as pretty as a flower. I don't believe that she is prettier than you. Go, let's go and take a look!"Sharon rea
