"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
The last page was severely smudged, and the handwriting was distorted, as if the person who wrote it was in great grief. The paper had also bulged a bit, as if liquid had been spilled on it, and the person who wrote it had shed tears on it.[Today was Carolyn's birthday, and we were drinking happily together to celebrate. But why did I wake up in bed with Christopher, and the flashing lights from the reporters at the door pushed me into hell? I was scared and helpless, but no one was there to protect me. I was overwhelmed with gossip and abuse. I don't know why this happened. At Carolyn's birthday party, I had a couple of drinks. Who can tell me what happened? I'm sorry, David. What should I do? Where are you, David? Someone please help me. Someone please help me.]Kisa clutched her chest with one hand and cried out in grief with the other covering her mouth. Even just looking at these words, she could feel her mother's fear and desperation, completely terrified. 'Show business circl
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!After knocking on the door thrice, Kisa waited quietly in front of the door with her head down.Soon after, the door opened.Jensen was dressed in casual clothes. Nevertheless, his relaxed and casual attire did not conceal his air of nobility.He had a cigarette between his fingers. However, he put it out the moment he saw Kisa."What's up, Kisa?" Jensen asked as he turned around to open the windows.Jensen's thoughtfulness and consideration made Kisa feel a mixture of emotions.She had always thought Jensen did not smoke. However, it turned out that he only refrained from smoking in front of her because he was concerned about her health.Suddenly, she thought of how her mother and Jensen's father's relationship was filled with regrets and sorrow. She felt a lump in her throat.Then, she inhaled deeply and smiled at Jensen, "It's alright, Jensen. I'm much better now. A little cigarette smoke is fine.""Better safe than sorry."Jensen poured Kisa a glass
Jensen rushed over to Kisa and knelt down with a look of panic she had never seen before on his face, "I'm sorry, I...""It's fine. It's fine..."Kisa shook her head and continued smiling at him, "Really, it's fine."Jensen frowned deeply.He carefully carried her onto the couch, "Hold on, I'll go get the medical kit.""It's fine. It's just a few minor cuts; I can handle them myself," Kisa said as she frantically prepared to leave.Suddenly, Jensen forcefully sat her on the couch and said, "Don't move!"Kisa stared at Jensen's frantic figure and felt her heart race.'Why did I find Jensen a little terrifying earlier on? As far as I can remember, Jensen has always been a gentleman. Even when he suspected me of having a hidden agenda for getting close to Gilbert, he spoke in the gentlest tone. I've never seen Jensen act this way; what in the world happened? Did he go through something terrible while he was abroad for the past few years, causing him to change his temperament? Or d
