Reborn Through Fire Chapter 41 The Young Boss of The Mullen Group
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
Reborn Through Fire Chapter 42 I'll be There If You Get Drunk
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
Reborn Through Fire Chapter 43 Provocations
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
Reborn Through Fire Chapter 44 This Guy is Bonkers
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
Reborn Through Fire Chapter 45 Pretending Not To Know Me
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
Reborn Through Fire Chapter 46 Being Followed
"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
Reborn Through Fire Chapter 47 Why Did You Bite Me
"Aaaaah!"The man behind her screamed miserably and let go of her. Only then did she find the voice familiar."Mrs. Kooper, it is me. Why did you bite me?"As the voice said, she looked back at it in fear, and it turned out that it was Davian."W-Why did you tie me up?" Kisa looked at him in puzzlement. Through the streetlight, she saw that Davian's hand was bleeding. Now she felt embarrassed and guilty. She was too scared just now, so she overreacted a bit.Davian shook his bitten hand and said with a wronged look on his face, "You were just being followed. Hadn't I tied you up, they would have abducted you by now.""How did you know I was being followed?" Kisa looked at him in surprise. 'Could he have been following her?'Davian opened his mouth and was about to say something when Gilbert suddenly peeked out of the car window and hummed nonchalantly. "What is the point of all that nonsense? Get in the car."Once she saw Gilbert was there, Kisa stopped saying anything. Davian
Reborn Through Fire Chapter 48 You Really Are a Plague
Gilbert sneered and said, "You think they're targeting Ariella?""Heh, if not Ariella, could it be me?" Kisa was amused. She was just Ariella's assistant, an ugly one at that. There was no reason those people would go to all that trouble to catch her."You can call Ariella now and see if she is safe."Kisa stared at him suspiciously. She hesitated. 'What if Ariella is hiding at the moment? Wouldn't I accidentally reveal her location by calling?'As if reading her mind, Gilbert said, "Don't worry. If Ariella gets caught for this, I will save her.""You said it. You'd better keep your word."Gilbert was pissed and gave her a sidelong glance. 'Why doesn't this woman trust me? Do I look like a man who doesn't keep his word?'Kisa was really worried about Ariella's safety. With Gilbert's assurance, she dialed Ariella's number, and it was quickly answered."Who are you? I'm telling you, that ugly woman has nothing to do with me, so you can kill her if you want. I don't have the money

In a small town in the South, a gentle breeze caressed the cheeks of passersby, creating a pleasant and serene atmosphere. This town, known for its tourism, was adorned with flowers even in its narrow alleys. The surrounding houses were all quaint inns, exuding a poetic and picturesque charm.Beneath an arching bridge, Kisa set up an easel to display and sell her paintings. She had always loved painting since childhood. Although she had not achieved great success in this field, her vivid and evocative paintings were very popular with tourists. She would sell most of her paintings every day.On weekends, Blake would join her at the stall, but today was Wednesday, and she was alone. After arranging her paintings, she had barely sat down when people began to gather around. Some admired her art, while others immediately offered to buy. Her paintings were reasonably priced, which attracted many customers."Miss, I'd like that painting of the snow-covered rose garden at night.""Alright,

In the backyard, Kohen looked at his older brother's calm expression, a hint of worry in his voice. "Bro, are you alright?""I'm fine," Hayes said, adjusting the blanket on his lap. "Tomorrow, take me to meet those medical geniuses you found.""Oh, sure..." Kohen nodded in agreement, but after a moment, he could not help but ask, "Bro, what did that woman say to you that made you change your mind so suddenly?"Hayes gazed at the stars in the sky, his voice cool and distant. "She told me she's doing well, very happy. Then she pointed out how pitiful and miserable I am right now. She asked me if I don't feel envious, knowing how well she is doing compared to me."Kohen grimaced, realizing that the woman had provoked his brother into action.Hayes lowered his eyes, a faint smile on his face. "That's right. How could I not be envious? So, I want to heal my legs, live a good life, and show her that I can do better than her."Kohen felt a pang of sympathy for his brother. From Hayes's

Mentioning Hayes, Eylul's expression became complex. "Hayes is reclusive and doesn't like to see people. Only a single old servant has been taking care of him all these years. I only met him once, back when I married Kohen."Mia's heart ached, recalling the enigmatic yet deeply emotional man. She could not help but feel a lump in her throat. "How's his health?" Mia asked.Eylul replied, "His health is fine, but his legs have remained the same. Kohen has found top orthopedic experts for him and even sought out Kelvin Hoover from Calthon, but he refuses treatment. For so many years, he hasn't even stepped outside the backyard.""You mean he's been living in the backyard all this time?" Jensen asked gravely.Eylul nodded. "Yes, Kohen wanted him to live in the main house, but he refused. He only likes staying in the backyard. Moreover, the room he stays in used to be..." Eylul glanced at Mia. She had heard that Mia used to live in that room.With a complicated expression, Mia pursed h

"Let's forget everything that just happened,' Mia said.Jensen looked up at her. In the moonlight, his eyes were deep and complex, profound and unfathomable.Mia tried to muster a smile. "You don't have to feel burdened. In a way, I forced you. And you must have always disliked me. Actually, I didn't come to you for money; I just wanted to see you. Now that I have, I should go. Jensen, from now on... take care."With that, she walked away, fearing that if she lingered any longer, she would not be able to leave. But after only a few steps, she was embraced from behind.Jensen's voice was low and hoarse. "Stay with me."Mia trembled at his words. Jensen continued. "But I still have so many things to do and someone in my heart I can't let go of. I don't know... when I will be able to give you a satisfactory answer. If you don't want to stay with me without any promises or guarantees, you can—""I'm willing," Mia blurted out, "as long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything

Mia's face changed instantly. " You... you know I like Jensen, why would you...""Heh, if you like Jensen, shouldn't you be willing to do anything for him? If you can't even do this, how can you claim to love him?""I won't do it! Doing this would be betraying Jensen. I would risk my life for him, but I can't do this."Adrien stared at her flushed face and gently chuckled, his words loaded with meaning. "Aren't you feeling all hot and bothered yet?"Mia frowned. Her body was indeed getting hotter and more agitated. 'Why would Adrien ask this? Could it be the drink...?'As the thought crossed her mind, her heart sank. Seeing Adrien's cold expression and the man's playful smile, Mia turned and ran. But before she could take more than a few steps, she was dragged back. Weakened by the drink, her desperate struggles were futile. As the man pressed her down, playing with her like a toy, she closed her eyes in despair. She thought she could never face Jensen again. With a bitter laugh,

Adrien Tanner, Jensen's father, stood before Mia with a warm smile. "My son is truly awkward when it comes to matters of the heart. He's even willing to refuse such a beautiful young woman like you."Mia stared at him, her tears suddenly streaming down her face. "I only wanted to see him, even if it was to face rejection. Wouldn't it better to say it clearly to my face?""Yes, it would." Adrien agreed. "But standing here stubbornly won't help, because he left on a business trip a couple of days ago."Mia's heart ached even more, realizing that Jensen had avoided using the front door just to evade her.Adrien continued. "I have a way to make him come to you willingly, but it depends on whether you're willing to cooperate."Mia nodded. "What do I have to do?"Adrien motioned to his bodyguard, who handed him a glass of wine. "Drink this," he said.Mia furrowed her brow, hesitant.Adrien gently patted her shoulder, like a father would."Don't be afraid. I won't harm you. From the

Filled with guilt, Mia stepped forward, but Kohen suddenly pulled out a handgun and aimed it at her."Get out!"Jensen pulled Mia back. He looked at the cold man before him. It was this man who had taken him in years ago. At that time, Kohen was young, a carefree and privileged young man. Now, he seemed to have grown up all at once, his eyes colder and more distant.Jensen said with a troubled expression, "If you ever need me in the future, don't hesitate to find me."Kohen sneered coldly; pain etched in his brow. He mocked himself. "I never should have taken you in back then. In the end, it was I who harmed my own brother."Jensen pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, only feeling an unbearable pain in his heart. It was the first time he felt he owed someone. That sense of indebtedness suffocated him."Get out, and don't let me see you two ever again."On that night, Jensen and Mia left the McCray family. As a result of Hayes's ordeal, the McCray family underwent tremendous

"What on earth happened?"Jensen did not speak. Mia choked out. "The collaboration between the Burton family and the McCray family was a trap. We were ambushed by the Burton family, and Hayes... he was hit by a car trying to save us.""Damn it!" Kohen cursed under his breath, abruptly pulling a knife from a nearby bodyguard and pointing it at them. "What are your lives worth? Why would my brother save you? Why?"Mia bit her lip, tears streaming down her face. 'It's my fault. I wanted to save Jensen, but I should have gone alone. I shouldn't have dragged Hayes into this. He seemed cold-blooded and heartless, and I never thought that he would risk his life for me. Why was he so good to me?'"Kohen..."Suddenly, a weak cry rang out. Hayes had awakened.Kohen hurriedly moved closer, gripping Hayes's hand. "Bro!"Hayes's face was deathly pale. He did not look at Kohen, but instead turned his gaze to Mia. His eyes were calm. He saw Mia's red-rimmed eyes and the tears lingering there,

Hayes was sent flying by the car, his body crashing into a wall before bouncing back.Mia's entire body felt ice-cold as she trembled, yelling, "Hayes!""Kill them all!" A hoarse, aged voice suddenly rang out from the entrance. It was Curtis. He looked at Kendall's lifeless body on the ground, his eyes filled with rage, shouting, "Run them over! I want them to join my grandson in death!""Ah!" Jensen roared, disregarding the guards' swinging knives, and like a madman, charged at Curtis. Curtis's face changed, desperately pulling a nearby guard in front of him as a shield. But it was useless. Jensen, like a crazed beast, attacked anyone in his path. Soon, his knife was held against Curtis's throat.Curtis trembled all over. "Wh-What do you want?"Jensen, covered in blood with splatters on his face, looked like a demon that had emerged from a battleground. He grabbed Curtis and held him hostage in front of him. "Let us go!""Don't even think about it!" Curtis retorted angrily. "You
