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
"You have the nerve to call me, you heartless brute!" The first thing Madalyn did was to scold her.Kisa pursed her lips, ignored her abusive words, and asked politely, "Mrs. Kooper Sr., why didn't I see you at the hotel?""Humph! One more look at you would have hurt my eyes. Do you think I would still ask you out? I warn you: don't try to draw a wedge between Jensen and Gilbert." Madalyn hung up the phone.Kisa frowned. 'The text message has clearly been sent from Madalyn's number, but she has said she has not asked me out. And if this is Sharon's conspiracy, then why was there no one in the room?'She looked around the room again to make sure there was nothing strange and then headed outside. She had many questions in her mind, but the good thing was that nothing happened to her. So she did not give it a second thought. Just before she reached the door, someone she knew suddenly blocked her way. Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously stepped back. The person who suddenl
Her chuckle, as if a sharp blade, viciously pierced into his heart, reminding him at all times that this woman did not like and love him, and that his mad desire to be intimate with her again could only be met by force.Kisa suddenly reached out and hooked her hand around his neck, when his body was clearly stiffening. Kisa's smile became even more enchanting.That face was obviously not particularly good-looking, but at this moment, her smile seemed to be able to hook a man's heart. Gilbert could not take his eyes off her, as if the beast trapped in his body would rush out at any moment.The Kisa was now completely free from nervousness and fear. She looked at his tense expression and dark eyes with a smile, as if she was admiring him. "I remember you said last time that I made you sick. If so, then why are you lying on top of me like this at this moment?"Gilbert gritted his teeth, not liking the look on her face at this moment. But admittedly, she looked attractive. Yet the thou
Jensen knew she was talking about Kisa. He was silent as he poured Madalyn a glass of water.Madalyn snickered as she glanced around the rooms with her cane. "Is that woman out?"'It seems that Madalyn really thought he was living with Kisa.' Jensen did not offer any explanation, and he just asked, "I wonder why Grandma wants to see me at this hour?"Madalyn sat down on the couch with a touch of sternness on her hoary face. "About me sending you out of the country back then. Did you say something about that to Gilbert?"Jensen's grip on the glass tightened, and he smiled sarcastically. "Huh? Did Gilbert ask you?""Humph! I just wanted to remind you; since you promised me to tell Gilbert that you left the country voluntarily, stop saying anything about it in front of Gilbert."Jensen looked down with a gentle smile at the glass of water in his hand, but his eyes were icy. He sneered and said, "Grandma, you have protected him so well.""His parents died when he was young. If I don
Jensen leaned back on the chair. "Grandma, I promise you I won't talk about being sent abroad back then in front of Gilbert," he said with a smile at Madalyn. "But please stay out of the affair between Kisa and me."Madalyn's face fell immediately. "Are you saying that you have to be together with that woman?"Jensen has silenced again.Madalyn was furious. She stood up and pointed at him, "Fine, fine! You're independent now. You don't even listen to me. I can't influence you, but I won't forgive you if I find you conspiring against Gilbert together with that woman." Madalyn left angrily after she finished.Jensen stared at the door. He laughed at himself.'It's true Gilbert is always the only grandson in her mind, and I'm nothing!'His mind flashed back to the memories of his childhood.He remembered his grandma asking him, "Jensen, Gilbert is my life. Can you protect him for me after you grow up?""Sure!"In another memory, Jensen remembered his grandma asking him, "Jensen,
Kisa entered and saw Jensen sitting on the chair, his hand bleeding profusely. There was broken glass and blood scattered everywhere beside the table. She was deeply shocked. She quickly put her bag on the porch cabinet and found the medicine kit that he had used to bandage her wound back then.Kisa carried the medicine kit and squatted in front of him. Looking at his bloody palm, she asked anxiously, "What happened?"Jensen just stared at her without saying anything.Kisa did not keep questioning him. She quickly took out the alcohol and cotton swabs. Suddenly, Jensen held her in his arms when she just wiped the blood off his palm. She was startled, "W-What happened?""Only you… Only you…"Kisa did not understand what he was trying to say. She only felt him hugging her tightly, and she could hardly breathe against his strength. She stared blankly at the glass of water on the table. She could not move.'Someone must have come here earlier, but who was it? What did they talk about
