The front of the house was crowded with reporters. The endless sound of cameras flashing, and people discussing, laughing, and cursing filled the place.Kisa stood at the window and sneered at the situation inside the house. She saw Carolyn hugging a blanket in fear, with a shirtless stranger standing beside her.Sharon rushed through the crowd and roared, "Mom, what are you doing? What the hell is going on?""How would I know what's going on?!" Carolyn's eyes were bloodshot red, and her voice was loud and sharp, "Stop it! Stop taking pictures! This is all a misunderstanding!" However, the reporters only laughed, and the sound of the cameras became louder and louder.Carolyn glared at the man next to her and roared, "Who are you?! Why are you doing this?! Who's paying you to do this?!"The man stared at Carolyn innocently and said, "What are you talking about, Mrs. Case? You're the one who asked me to satisfy you. You said you would bring your daughter and friends here for a vacat
"What are you crying for? Why didn't you do as I said when I asked you to get rid of those reporters?! You wanted me to make a fool out of myself, didn't you?" Carolyn roared at Sharon."Mom, I'm a public figure. All the attention would be on me if I said something in that situation," Sharon explained. "What in the world happened? Didn't we talk about this? It was supposed to be Anthony…""Shut your mouth!"The older one is, the wiser they are. Even though Carolyn had just had a meltdown in front of the reporters, she could still consider that Kelvin and Gracie were still there."Aunty, a-are you okay?" asked Kisa deliberately. Carolyn shot Kisa a fierce look, but she did not dare act up in front of Kelvin and Gracie. "I'm fine," she sneered.Gracie's outlook on life was almost shattered to pieces. She stood by the door without making a sound. "What were you doing, Aunty? If you want to have relations outside your marriage, then just do it secretly. Why did you have to create su
"You b*tch. How dare you fool around at this old age? How will I have the face to go out in the future?" Christopher said angrily.This was the first time Kisa saw him that mad. Although the man in front of her was her biological father, seeing him angry made her happy. Those were the people who had hurt her mother, and she wanted each and every one of them to pay the price."How dare you hit me, Christopher?" Carolyn roared at him in disbelief."Oh, I'm not just going to hit you. I'm going to divorce you, b*tch. My reputation is ruined because of you," he said as he slapped her across the face again."Dad, this is all a misunderstanding. Mom didn't do this. It was Kisa. That b*tch framed mom. She's the one who ruined your reputation. She ruined our family reputation," Sharon grabbed his arm and cried.Christopher glanced at Kisa coldly."Didn't your family plan this? This is the consequence of your own actions. It's ridiculous that you're blaming me." Kisa drew a clear line betw
Jensen shrugged. "What do you think we're doing?" he asked.Gilbert's expression became even colder. He had come to the farm since the day Kisa appeared here. He had been monitoring her every move. He knew that she disliked Christopher Case and Sharon, but he did not expect her to frame Carolyn Marshall. 'She is a vicious woman. She ruined the entire Case family's reputation just because of some personal grievance she had against them,' he thought.Jensen smiled when he saw the cold look on Gilbert's face. "I'll never stop her from doing what she wants to do. I'll only support her.""Even when she has lost her conscience?""Yes, I will support everything she does."For some reason, Gilbert was jealous after hearing Jensen's words. Maybe it is because he could not do what this man was willing to do for Kisa. However, he was disgusted at the fact that Kisa had done such an evil thing to Carolyn."She shouldn't be this vicious," Gilbert said in a low voice. "You shouldn't be helping
Kisa's expression stiffened when she heard Gilbert's name, but she quickly recovered. She took a sip of her wine and laughed with a hint of self-deprecation."He must know what I did today then. He must think I'm vicious. After all, in his perception, Christopher and Carolyn treat me well. He must think that I'm an evil, ungrateful b*tch."Jensen stared at Kisa who just mocked herself. "He didn't say you were vicious," he said. Kisa laughed indifferently. "It's fine if he said it out loud or not. I know that's what he thinks of me anyway—a heinous and vicious woman. But that doesn't matter. I'll just continue taking my revenge. Soon, it'll be his turn."Jensen looked at Kisa quietly. For some reason, he always felt that her smile was unconvincing, and that there was a sense of brokenness behind it.He put some food in her bowl and said with concern, "Carolyn and Sharon won't let this go that easily. You have to be careful.""Well, Kohen's banquet is just around the corner. If my g
Jensen glanced at the tapping device and chuckled. "Looks like Carolyn is pretty smart, too.""Of course she is smart. Otherwise, how else could she have gotten rid of my mother and taken Christopher by the horns?" Kisa tossed the tapping device into the trash.Jensen frowned with worries. "So what do you do next to protect yourself from their trap?""I can't, so I don't have to. If they want to hurt me, they will have to see if they are still capable of it."Kisa opened the newspaper and, as she expected, all the pages were devoted to Carolyn and Christopher. Sharon's reputation was affected as well. There were several intriguing photos in the paper, so Carolyn did not even have a chance to clear her name.She fondled the last page of the book, written by her mother with tears in her eyes, and she felt a lump in her throat. Had her mother been alive and seen Carolyn's retribution, she would have been thrilled.In the Case residence, Carolyn tore the paper to pieces and shouted a
Gilbert ignored their conversation and walked straight out of the house.Madalyn called out to him in exasperation. "That b*tch hooked up with Jensen to create the J & K Film Group. You know about that, right?""Yes.""Then they set Carolyn up, dragged Sharon down, and used it to ruin Sharon and take on GK. You know about that, right?""Yes."Gilbert's calm and indifferent demeanor hurt her. "You know? Why didn't you go after them? I told you a long time ago, that woman was not a good thing. She is just like her mother, belligerent but good at disguising it. I see that now Jensen has been completely bewitched by her.""Grandma..." Gilbert slowly turned around and looked at her with sadness in his eyes. "Jensen didn't really want to go abroad back then, did he?"Madalyn's expression changed slightly. "Who said that? I was selfishly afraid that he would compete with you for the family fortune and wanted to send him abroad, but he did want to go abroad for further study, and I did
His eyes stopped at the seventeenth floor, on which the curtains were tightly drawn, but a faint light still came through. He felt like wanting to run upstairs several times but was afraid of seeing a scene that he did not want to see. He was afraid to see them like husband and wife, eating a home-cooked meal and talking about family matters. He was afraid to see them snuggled up together, looking forward to a better future. He was even more afraid to see them engaging in intimate pleasure. He took out a cigarette and lit it, then took a long, hard drag. His face became sullen as he smoked away.Kisa had nothing better to do than sit by the window and read the for a while. Just as she stretched out and wanted to go to sleep, her phone suddenly buzzed. She subconsciously glanced at the phone and found that it was a message from Madalyn. She still had some feelings for Madalyn, who used to treat her the best, after all. When she thought of the past, she could not help but get emotional
