Carolyn greeted him with a smile. "Celebrate. We are celebrating Sharon's victory over that bitch.""Yeah, Dad. In the past two days, the netizens have so badly criticized that b*tch that almost everyone calls for her to get out of show business. Isn't this a brilliant move of mine? It didn't take much to bring her down."Christopher said nothing. He just scowled.Carolyn pinched him on the arm and yelled, "Who are you looking at with such a goddamn face? Are you feeling sorry for that little bastard? I'm telling you, we are happy that Sharon has beaten that little bastard, and don't you be here to spoil the fun.""Absolutely, Dad. Come on. Let's celebrate together as a family," Sharon said, pulling Christopher to dance with her.Christopher shrugged her off with a huff. "Who told you she was finished? Who said you beat her? Didn't you guys watch the entertainment news this afternoon?"Carolyn and Sharon looked at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces. They had been
Sharon's chest heaved with anger as she stared viciously at the video of Gilbert defending Kisa. She smashed her phone at the wineglass on the dining table, overturned the table, kicked over the stereo, and hissed in a frenzy, "Why? I want that b*tch dead. I want her dead. Gilbert is mine. GK can only be mine."The maids nearby whispered to each other."I remember Sharon saying that if she failed to bring down Kisa, she would live stream herself eating poop.""Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that too.""Yuck! It is disgusting to think about it."...Kisa and Gilbert arrived at the kindergarten just as it was time for school to end. Kisa said to him, "I will wait in the car. You go and bring them out.""We will go together.""I'm not going.""Then I'm not going either.""You!" Kisa glared at him. "Are you even a competent father? Who do you expect to pick up your children for you when even you won't?"Gilbert said nothing and did not move, either.Kisa was exasperated. She lean
Mia let out a knowing smile. "Look at you guys. Those who don't know would think you are a family of four."Kisa's heart fluttered at the slightest sarcasm. 'Exactly. Gilbert and I are enemies. How could we get along like a normal couple in public when there is such a blood feud between us?'Gilbert had come over and studied Mia, his brows knitted together. He did not like this woman. "Let's go," he said to Kisa.Kisa stood still with her head low.Ada saw Blake and said joyfully, "Hi, we have met you again." She pulled at Andrew. "Andrew, he is the boy I told you about. He is very nice. It was he who gave me the bandage."Carrying his small schoolbag on his back, Andrew walked up to Blake and said politely, "I'm Andrew, Ada's brother. Thank you for taking care of my sister. What is your name?""Blake Kooper," Blake replied expressionlessly, then looked up at Mia. "I want to go home, godmother."Mia smiled. "Okay, let's go home." With that, she talked to Kisa for a second, bring
Kisa didn't want to argue too much with him. She took a deep breath and started the car.It was still Gilbert who cooked in the evening.But she did not eat. She had been locking herself in her room since she got back. The curtains were closed, and she stood in front of the mirror, repeatedly stroking the burn scars on her back. Her eyes reddened at the thought of the baby, whose skin had turned purple and who was voiceless. She leaned against the mirror and cried, biting the back of her hand as she tried to suppress her voice. She hated that man, never because of the ugly scars nor because of the pain of burning. What she hated was the man's heartlessness, the despair and suffocation that the fire brought her, and the grief that the voiceless child brought her."Gilbert..." She choked on a sob, "I will never in my life forgive you."In the living room, Andrew stared at Gilbert's grim face and cautiously asked, "Daddy, Ma'am hasn't eaten. Will she be hungry? Why don't I bring her s
Mia pursed her lips and suddenly stopped talking. She had not forgotten what had happened back then.At the time, Kisa, who suffered burns all over her body, was rushed into the emergency room. When Blake was taken out of her womb, his skin had turned purple, and he had stopped breathing. All the doctors said the baby was dead, and they put him in a plastic bag. It was Jensen who refused to believe it and took the baby out of the bag like a madman. He ordered the doctors to bring the baby back to life and even kept slapping the baby's buttocks in an attempt to make the baby cry. In the eyes of the doctors, he was a madman who refused to accept reality.Finally, the baby let out a faint cry.He almost cried, but no one but him heard the baby's cry. Everyone said he was hallucinating, but he was convinced that the baby was still alive. At last, after three months of persistent effort at his insistence, the baby miraculously survived. Because the child's vital signs were extremely weak
Kisa pursed her lips and did not answer.Soon, Andrew's wary voice was heard outside the door. "Ma'am, are you awake yet? Breakfast is ready."Kisa closed her eyes and pretended not to hear. Not that she did not like Andrew, she just did not want to see Gilbert."Ma'am? Ma'am?" Andrew called out again outside the door, his voice low, mixed with a hint of guilt. "Ma'am, do you not like us here? I-If you don't like us here, w-we won't come over next time." Andrew's voice was getting lower and lower toward the end of the sentence.Kisa felt bad. She took a deep breath, then rolled over and got out of bed. As she opened the door, Andrew and Ada were standing in the doorway, looking at her with tears in their eyes. A wash of guilt overwhelmed her. She stroked the children's heads and smiled as if nothing had happened. "What is wrong? I just woke up." No matter how much she hated Gilbert, she could not bring herself to reject these two children who loved her so much."Ma'am, let's have
Kisa lowered her eyes, not knowing how to answer this question. In her heart, Gilbert was definitely not a good man. She even thought he was the most ruthless kind of man. However, such an answer would disappoint the two little children. She ate her breakfast quietly, thinking about how to answer this question.Gilbert was leaning back in his chair, staring at her nonchalantly. A slight smile was on his face as if he was interested in her answer, too.Andrew ran out of patience and urged Kisa, "Ma'am, what do you think of my daddy? In fact, in my opinion, Daddy treats you the best."Kisa tried hard not to laugh upon hearing what Andrew said. She knew children were naive and would only take things at face value. In her eyes, Gilbert was the most ruthless toward her, but she did not want to disappoint the two children. In fact, Gilbert knew how she thought of him. It did not matter if her answer was truthful. The most important thing now was to appease these two children.She took a
The person standing outside the door was not Jensen but Lea.Kisa turned around and sneered at Gilbert. "Is this what you call a bad guy? No matter what I do, you must taunt me a bit to make yourself happy?"Gilbert did not seem to hear her. "Eat up, and then I will take you two to school," he said to Andrew and Ada with a straight face.Kisa sneered. "You can really pretend."Lea looked at the two of them and felt something was not right. "I'm not disturbing you, am I?"Kisa smiled at her. "He told you to stay outside for a few days, and you did it. You really listened to him."Lea looked mortified. 'How can I not listen to him when he is the CEO of GK and so fierce? Besides, there is the temptation of a million dollars.' She took Kisa's arm and said smilingly, "Oh, Kisa, don't be angry. Look how nice it is with Mr. Kooper staying here and making breakfast for you daily." She took out a newspaper and said excitedly, "Great news, Kisa. Look at this newspaper."Kisa stared at her
