Kisa at last, shuddered. 'I have seen many doctors, all of whom have given me a death sentence, but Kelvin said he could cure me? The genius of the medical world is really something. Just that…'She slowly turned around with little emotional fluctuation. "Conditions. What are the conditions for curing me?" Kisa knew Kelvin hated her as much as Gilbert did, and she did not believe that this man would heal her with no conditions.Looking at the nonchalant look of the woman in front of him, Kelvin felt frustrated and bored. Her physical condition was such that an ordinary doctor would have given her an absolute death sentence. He had thought she would be thrilled when he told her he could cure her, but no. Now it seemed as if nothing could stir up this woman's emotions. Kelvin looked at her with his arms akimbo. "Without conditions, as long as Gilbert agrees to let me heal you, I will heal you fully."Kisa listened and could not help but snicker. "He wants me dead."Kelvin was stunned
It was not until she boarded the plane that Kisa remembered why Athadale sounded so familiar. It seemed that Gilbert's business trip was to Athadale, which was quite a coincidence. But it was a good thing Athadale was so big that she would not run into Gilbert.It was Ariella's first time attending a brand event. She was both excited and nervous, repeatedly confirming the time and place with her agent before leaving. "Ugly, this event is very important to me. Don't make any mistakes. Or I won't spare you." She warned Kisa as she looked into a small mirror to touch up her makeup.Kisa nodded submissively. "Don't worry, Ariella." As a nanny-type assistant, she was just taking care of Ariella's food, clothing, and living, so she figured nothing would go wrong, and Ariella was just overly nervous.After a three-hour flight, the plane finally touched down at Athadale. As soon as they got off the plane, Ariella tugged at Kisa and asked nervously, "How does my makeup look?"Kisa had no wo
As the door was pushed open, a choking smell of smoke hit her nostrils, causing her to cough violently.Ariella shot her an angry look and then timidly walked inside. Kisa was used to the way Ariella treated her. Compared to Ariella's cowering, she was much calmer. She took a quick glance at the room upon entering.The room was large, with many men and women inside. The women were dressed up in fashionable and flamboyant dresses. They should all be actresses like Ariella. The men, on the other hand, all looked like dudes. One of the outstanding-looking men sitting in the middle, languid with a cigarette in his mouth, was half-squinting his eyes to size up Ariella. He had a playful smile on his face, which was unnerving to look at.Recalling the information she had just found on the Internet, Kisa figured this guy should be Anthony Mullen, the only son of the Mullen family, a shrewd businessman and a subject of gossip. But rumor had it that he had some eccentricities and was vindicti
The man's eyes were so sharp that Kisa panicked. She looked down and sorted out Ariella's coat, thinking she had better find an excuse to go out later."Oh, is this Ariella's assistant?" Anthony chuckled all of a sudden."Yes, she is my assistant. I was afraid that she would be bored at the hotel alone, so I brought her here," Ariella said."This assistant of yours has a really unique look." A dude on the side gave a sarcastic laugh as he stared at Kisa's face.Ariella immediately felt humiliated. "If you guys think she is an eyesore, I will ask her out." Kisa was eager to get out too. But Anthony suddenly laughed. "No, I do think she looks quite distinctive, especially… I think she looks like someone." With that, he suddenly held out his hand to Kisa.Kisa was startled and subconsciously took a step back.When Anthony saw her reaction, he found her to be interesting and said lazily, "Since you're here, then let's sit together. Come over here!" As he spoke, he pushed the other
As Kisa dodged in fear, a deep, familiar voice suddenly sounded, causing her heart to shudder. The voice sounded like Gilbert's. She hurriedly looked in the voice's direction and saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the dark corner. 'He is really in the room.'Not only Kisa but almost everyone else in the room was wide-eyed to see Gilbert. Anthony was an exception. Gilbert was sitting silently in the shadows, so these people did not even notice his presence. Seeing Gilbert come out, Anthony broke into a smile. He grabbed Kisa's waist and deliberately brought her into his arms, causing her to crash into his wall of muscles, almost knocking her out. She frowned and looked up as Anthony stared at Gilbert provocatively.The way Anthony looked at Gilbert puzzled Kisa. She somehow felt that Anthony was using her to get back at Gilbert. But she doubted that. She did not think she was worthy of being used as a tool to get back at Gilbert.Just then, Gilbert had come over. She saw his f
His words startled Anthony. 'Could I be wrong? This ugly woman is not the same woman back then, and she and Gilbert also have no relationship? But if there is no relationship, then why does Gilbert want to drink on this woman's behalf? The Gilbert I know is no saint. When has he become so kind-hearted?'Taking advantage of Anthony's daze, Kisa hurriedly broke away from his embrace. Her cheeks were flushed with shame and anger, her clear eyes held a hint of moisture and resentment as she stared at Gilbert.But Gilbert pretended not to see her. Instead, he smiled slyly at Anthony. "I can't believe that you are into such an ugly woman. It is really shocking. Those who aren't in the know might think you have never touched a woman before."Several dudes immediately covered their mouths and snickered. A few beautiful actresses also laughed quietly at the side, looking at Kisa with contempt. Anthony's face sank, a tinge of viciousness gradually appearing in his slightly narrowed eyes.See
But the two men stopped about six feet away from her at the elevator. Gilbert did not even look at her as if she were a stranger with no connection to him. As the elevator door opened, Gilbert and Davian walked in without looking the other way.Kisa smirked with a stiff expression. 'Gilbert is superb at pretending not to know me.' She lowered her eyes and sat down again slowly by holding the wall.Not far from the door of the private room, an assistant whispered to Anthony, "Gilbert really doesn't seem to know that woman. He didn't show any reaction when he saw that woman. So she might not be his ex-wife, but just a bit like her.""Then could you explain his sudden promotion of Ariella as the second female lead, and that woman was Ariella's assistant?""Coincidence, I guess."Anthony stared thoughtfully at the woman huddled in a ball at the end of the hallway, his sharp eyes filled with curiosity and scheme. Out of the clubhouse, Davian asked Gilbert, "Are you really going to le
"I feel like someone is following us?""What?" Ariella was so scared that she hugged herself tightly and looked back nervously. "Are you sure? Are you seeing it wrongly?"Kisa shook her head. She could not tell the feeling, only felt a whoosh of wind behind her, accompanied by a not-so-obvious sound of footsteps. Perhaps it was all in her head, but her gut feeling told her that Anthony deliberately did not send a car for her and Ariella. Seeing that there was a street with street lights not far ahead, she pulled Ariella and said, "Let's hurry."Ariella nodded and picked up her pace."Aaaah!" Ariella screamed all of a sudden as she fell to the ground.Kisa hurriedly helped her up. "What's wrong?""It is all your fault for asking me to walk back to the hotel. Look what happens now." In annoyance, Ariella kicked off her high heels and kneaded her painful foot as she complained in exasperation.Kisa silently helped her up. As she bent down, she suddenly saw a few people approaching
