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,
The woman with bruises on her face was twisting her fingers. Jensen looked at her and chuckled. "Don't be nervous. Since you are Kisa's friend, you are mine, too.""T-Thank you, Mr. Kooper.""No need to be so formal. Feel free to call me Jensen, as Kisa does.""Okay, Jensen," Lea said, looking less nervous than she had just been.Jensen scanned her with a smile. "How did you end up waitressing at the party yesterday?""I..." Lea tensed up again.Kisa brought out the finished dishes and could not help but laugh at the scene. "Jensen, don't be so serious with her. She will be scared."Jensen smiled helplessly. "I'm serious?""No, no, no, Mr. Kooper...""Hmm?""I mean Jensen." Lea changed her tone in a panic. "Y-You are not serious at all." She could not even speak properly because she was nervous.Kisa brought them both over to the dining table with amusement and said to Jensen, "Lea used to take part-time jobs to supplement her income. I think a friend of hers must have intro
Jensen leaned against the door and smoked as he gazed at the door to Kisa's room with a frown.At GK Pictures's CEO office, Davian placed the information he had checked carefully on Gilbert's desk and said, "Mr. Kooper, this is all I found about your brother's relationship with that lecherous woman."Gilbert buried his head in his work and did not look up. "Read it out to me.""Okay." Davian nodded in response and hurriedly picked up the neatly folded documents. Ever since the party, Gilbert had become unpredictable, sullen all day long, so much so that Davian found he could no longer speak freely as before. Now he really wished that Kisa was there. As long as the Kisa was in, Gilbert would not make him a punching bag when he was not happy. And now, Gilbert would take it out on him when he was upset. Davian started to summarize the information when he thought of how miserable his life was. "I could only find things about your brother and that woman for the past seven years; there is
