Anthony was all smiles, but Kisa could tell a strong sense of menace in his voice. Lea was so afraid of him she did not dare look at him. "I didn't lie. I clearly saw that it was... it was Ms. Case who ordered that man to show those pictures.""Are you sure?" Anthony snickered with a threatening look on his handsome face.Lea was shaking more and more.Kisa hastily intervened. "Mr. Mullen, please don't threaten her with that tone. She has just identified Sharon; why are you so concerned? Could it be that you are in cahoots with Sharon?""No. I didn't see this mister. I only saw Ms. Case ask that man to show the photos. I-I think this matter has nothing to do with this mister.Kisa frowned, wondering why Lea was so defensive of Anthony. She suspected Lea might be afraid of his retribution."B*tch!" Sharon was enraged, pointing at Lea and cursing. "What proof do you have that I ordered this man to show those pictures? Let's talk about evidence." With that, she started to play the v
"No, I really did this. I had the photos and videos taken, gave the flash drive with the photos and videos to Sharon, and asked her to let the screening room staff play on the digital screen. Sharon did not know what was on the flash drive. She just did what I told her to do. It was really not Sharon's, but my fault." Carolyn was indignant and remorseful, not looking like she was faking.Sharon hurriedly echoed. "Mom, why did you do this? I really thought the flash drive contained some kind of entertainment programs, not expecting it to be such a shameful thing. Mom, tell me, why did you do this?""Why? It was because that woman framed me for sleeping around." Carolyn and Sharon echoed each other, their acting seamless, with Carolyn pointing at Kisa indignantly. "She set me up that day at the farm, humiliating me in front of everyone, causing your father to misunderstand me. Do you think I should take this lying down?" Carolyn presented herself as a victim in a few words.Reporters
Gilbert pressed her hands in indignation.Kisa hissed. "Mr. Kooper, what do you want again? Didn't you think I was disgusting? Why do you want to put your clothes on me? Aren't you afraid I will stain your clothes?"Gilbert glared at her, hating her attitude. He sneered. "You are at least my wife. Aren't you embarrassing me when you are naked?"Kisa let out a sardonic laughter. "Mr. Kooper, are you suffering from amnesia? Have you forgotten that I am divorced from you?""Heh! You really think we're divorced?"Kisa's expression changed. "W-What do you mean?""I don't care how much you love Jensen. You are not going to be with him for the rest of your life.""You—""Let's go! Aren't you embarrassing enough?" Gilbert said, reaching for her.Kisa backed away in disgust. "Embarrassing or not, it is my business, not yours, Mr. Kooper. Besides, as much as you say I'm disgusting, I find you just as disgusting, including the clothes you wear." With that, she took off the blazer. She co
"Even so, I don't need your help, and you don't have to pretend in front of me."Gilbert was so pissed that he clenched his fists in silence. 'She doesn't need my help, but she wants Jensen's. Heh, she relies on Jensen now.' Jealousy and anger that had been running through him for days. He just felt like he was going crazy with this woman. In his rage, he laughed sarcastically. "You really think I am helping you? I just said you are disgracing me.""You..."Kisa was about to say something when Gilbert tossed her a lavender evening gown. "Put it on. Do you really think you can seduce men dressed like this? Ridiculous."It exasperated her that he always mocked her with such insults. Kisa looked down to hide the hurt and sadness. She did not want to get involved with him anymore, or even say another word to him. She grabbed the lavender evening gown and slowly made her way to the bathroom.The burn scars on her back were once again imprinted into the man's eyes. Gilbert's heart skipp
The man was in pain and abruptly pushed her away. When he wiped his mouth, his hand was stained with blood.Kisa stepped back in shock. She looked into his eyes and shivered. "Y-You made me do this.""If Jensen had kissed you instead, wouldn't you have been enjoying instead of biting him?" His voice was filled with rage as he said the last sentence.Kisa was afraid of his out-of-control look as much as she hated and resented him. She clenched her hands and said, "Yes, you are right. If it was Jensen, I would be enjoying it, and you, I just feel disgusted." 'Didn't he always say I was disgusting? What's with this forced kiss? It is ridiculous and ironic, just like that time when he called me cheap and disgusting and forced himself on me. Doesn't he feel that his words and actions contradict each other?'The knuckles of his hands crackled as Gilbert clenched his hands. Kisa's heart was pounding, and she turned to leave, fearing that he would do something to her again. But as soon as
The sadness in her eyes was apparent as much as her face was full of vengeful passion.Jensen took a long, hard look at her. "Gilbert did nothing to you just now, did he?"Kisa sneered. "What else could he do to me now?""But aren't you depressed because of him?"Kisa laughed and shook her head, then said in a careless tone of voice, "I'm just puzzled; some people say one thing and do something else, so contradictory."Jensen looked at her with a smile. "You mean Gilbert?""Yes. He called me dirty and cheap, but then he just kissed me against my will. Don't you think he is ridiculously contradictory?"Jensen pursed his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.Kisa shook her head and smiled. "Forget it. What is the point of talking about him? I'm tired. Let's go back and rest."Jensen stared from behind at her exhausted body with a hard-to-describe emotion. He knew Gilbert best; this younger brother of his never knew how to express his love, and the more he cared about somet
The accompanying picture was the scene where Lea identified Sharon. And as she zoomed in, she noticed that both Sharon and Anthony were staring at Lea with intimidation. Kisa's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this. Near the end of the party yesterday, she hurried back home and did not know what happened to Lea. Carolyn, Sharon, and Anthony were all ruthless and vindictive. Kisa was afraid that they might take revenge on Lea. After all, Lea was just an ordinary person with no backing. Anxious, Kisa quickly dialed Lea's phone, but Lea did not answer despite calling her several times. As a bad feeling hit her and she became panicked, she drove to Lea's place in a hurry.Lea rented an ordinary one-bedroom apartment, which was not comparable to those luxury apartments, but the place was clean. Kisa stood in front of the unit on the second floor, where Lea lived, and knocked on the door, but no one answered. She frowned, and the bad feeling only got stronger. She gave it a few more knocks.
Kisa stared in alarm at the mess in the house. The TV, coffee table, couch, and other furniture were all smashed to pieces; clothes, dishes, household items were scattered all over the place. She clenched her hands and asked Lea in anger, "Carolyn and Sharon did this, too, didn't they?"Lea pursed her lips and said nothing.Kisa gritted her teeth. "They better still be here. I'm going to beat them to death.""Kisa..."Lea called out to her in a predicament. Kisa did not see anyone in the living room, so she checked out the bedroom, which was just as messy, the bedsheet rumpled, as if someone had exercised on it. She saw at the end of the bed an inky blue tie, which looked familiar. As she was about to pick it up and take a closer look, Lea grabbed it and hid it behind her back with a smile. "Don't get mad, Kisa. They are gone. They are long gone, and they are not coming back, really.""The tie...""It belonged to a client of mine. I found it in a bar and brought it back with me,
