Jensen looked at her. "Yes.""Kohen's main purpose in holding that party is still to shore up your popularity, so you will still be the center of attention on that day."Jensen stroked her tired face and smiled. "Get some rest. I will bring you to the party on time."Kisa nodded and got up to see him off."Oh, by the way, I live right across the street from you. Call me anytime if you need anything."Kisa was surprised. "W-Won't you have no time for your own business then? You're doing this for me..."After being dilemmatic for a long time, she finally asked, "Jensen, why do you want to help me like this?""Because I like you.""How is that possible?"Kisa's first reaction was to think it was impossible. But her heart skipped a beat when she saw Jensen's serious expression. "You...""I'm just kidding. Look how scared you are." Jensen patted her head amusedly.Kisa subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew it. When we were little, you only said you treated me as a s
When Sharon heard that, she was even more furious. "Why? Why even Kohen to help her?" She tore a pink pillow to pieces with her bare hands as an unprecedented jealousy filled her.Carolyn, however, said unhurriedly, "Since all those people are trying to flatter her, you should ruin her."Sharon was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?""Those people want her to become the brightest star at the party, so you are to knock that star down. The higher one climbs, the harder the person will fall.""You mean make her look bad at the party?""I'm sure you will find a way. You have never let me down, have you?"Sharon looked at the grim smile on Carolyn's lips and suddenly laughed along with her."What's this?" Gilbert was having his breakfast when Madalyn suddenly threw a newspaper in front of him. "That woman is not dead."Gilbert picked up his napkin and wiped his lips slowly and methodically. "I didn't say she was dead.""But she deserved to die." Madalyn hated her so much. The pa
"Her mother was...""Gilbert, what is wrong with you, Gilbert?" Madalyn was about to tell what happened back then when Sharon suddenly burst in. "I just heard the maid say that Gilbert fainted. How is he?"Kelvin looked at her askance, because Sharon was such a buzz killer. Especially when he saw her horrible face. He could not hide his disdain for her.Madalyn showed her disgust in a more straightforward way as she said coldly, "Why are you here?""I-I was looking for Kelvin when Gracie said he was here, so I came over," Sharon said, rushing to the bedside with a worried face. "What is wrong with Gilbert?""He is fine. Get out so you don't disturb my grandson's rest." Madalyn got up and chased everyone out.Kelvin glanced at Sharon with resentment. He was about to find out what happened to Kisa's mother and all the other people in their generation, and the appearance of Sharon was a real bad timing."What is it about you looking for me?" In the courtyard, Kelvin dug his hands i
"Treat her.""Mrs. Kooper Sr.!" Kelvin felt helpless. "Kisa's face scars were removed by those doctors abroad. I have followed them and learned some techniques, but not much.""Try it. Just take my face as your lab mouse."Unable to withstand the woman's pestering, Kelvin said in annoyance, "Okay, okay. I will try. If the scars don't go away, don't blame me then.""Well, I won't blame you."Sharon nodded her head excitedly with a fleeting look of sinisterness in her eyes.Kisa woke up again at night. She leaned against the window, looking at the lights outside, and a loneliness and confusion that she had never felt flushed through her. Ever since she survived that fire, her only goal was to survive. Now that she had recovered, her goal was to take revenge on all those who had humiliated and hurt her. But when she was done taking revenge, she lost direction. She brought a glass of wine and leaned against the window. She took a sip, but all that came to her mind was the image of th
She pulled the door open and saw Carolyn and Sharon outside.She frowned with a quick dash of annoyance, leaping across her face. "What are you two doing here?"To her surprise, Carolyn and Sharon changed their usual arrogance and bossy attitude, and smiled at her ingratiatingly. "Kisa, I'm relieved that you are okay. Your father and I were worried when we heard you were critically ill."When Kisa thought of Carolyn's previous spitefulness and the humiliation she suffered, all these words sounded so fake to her ears. But she did not expose her. Instead, she played along. "Is that so? Then I really have to thank Auntie Carolyn for your concern. I will treat you to dinner someday.""It is alright. Sharon and I came here today to see you and to bring you your mother's belongings."Kisa's heart skipped a beat when she heard the second half of the sentence, but she calmly said, "In that case, please come in and have a seat. I will make you coffee." She never thought Carolyn and Sharon
She would never have believed that Christopher would miss her. She would never have believed that they really wanted her to go back to the Case residence for dinner. This time, they used her mother's belongings as bait, so they must have come up with another scheme to trap her. She sneered, Do they really think I'm the same old Kisa who was so gullible and an easy target?'The doorbell rang twice; it sounded unhurried. Kisa opened the door.Jensen was standing quietly outside with a gentle smile on her lips and an air of dignity around him. "Carolyn and Sharon were here?"Kisa was startled. "How do you know?""I just saw them downstairs," Jensen said, walking in. "They didn't come to cause problems for you, did they?"Kisa shook her head. "They brought me my mother's belongings.""I didn't know they were so kind." There was a hint of sarcasm and suspicion in Jensen's voice.'Look, even others think that this mother and daughter are sinister.' Kisa snickered as she took out the j
Kisa was surprised. "Your father and Gilbert's father?""You probably didn't know that, did you? My father and Gilbert's father were good friends with your mother back then, so I wondered if some of the things recorded in this book might have something to do with them.""I'm sorry, Jensen. The records in this book are about my mother's privacy, I—""I understand. It was me who was blunt just now."Jensen's voice was so gentle that it made her a little embarrassed. "Actually, if you want to know about their past, you can ask Mr. Kooper Sr. or the Kooper family's older maids." Madalyn had previously cursed her and her mother, saying that her mother had been a woman who had seduced the Kooper family's eldest and second son, who were Jensen's father and Gilbert's father. In fact, she was also eager to know about her mother's past, because she would never believe that her mother would be that kind of person.Jensen shook his head. "I won't get anything out of Grandma, and will only ang
"David." Jensen looked at her. "My father's name is David."Kisa's heart skipped a beat, and she almost dropped the book in her hand.[March 17, East Lake with David. He suddenly confessed his love to me.]'David? David? Oh my God, Jensen's father is David. No wonder the name David sounds familiar. Madalyn used to tell me she had set up the Kooper family's eldest son with my mother. I only thought that they never saw each other again since the match did not work out. But from the records in the book, it seems that David really liked my mother back then.'Jensen suddenly walked up to her and stroked her hair with a smile. "Then take a good look in the book for me to see if there is anything about my father. If there is, then tell me about it.""Okay, okay." Kisa's mind was a muddle. At night, she sat on her bed and could not wait reading the two small books her mother had left behind.[On March 30, David came to visit the set, and I happened to be framed and slapped in the name of
