Sharon's hesitant look validated all the reporter's speculations."Ms. Case, are you saying that the villa belongs to Mr. Kooper?" Another reporter asked.Sharon hung her head with her face full of embarrassment and did not say a thing. Her expression only stoked the reporter's imagination further."Ms. Case, what did you and Mr. Kooper do in the villa?""Ms. Case, Mr. Kooper obviously did the deed with you. Does he have any plans on marrying you?""Ms. Case, what exactly was Mr. Kooper's surprise?""Sigh, all of you should stop asking me. If there is any question, then asking Mr. Kooper himself would be better," Sharon replied, all bashful-like.This way, even if she did not say anything, everyone would deem that she and Gilbert had done some shameful acts in that villa. Looking at her convincing facial expressions toward the reporters, she felt even surer that the news had all been orchestrated by Sharon herself.However, she still could not figure out why Sharon had looked s
Kisa pulled her lips into a smile, " That's great. If you're inviting me, I'll definitely go!"Hearing Kisa say this, Sharon grew even more smug."Heh, did you know that the surprise Gilbert gave me last night was superromantic? It was a candle-lit dinner full of sweet talk.""Really?" Kisa chuckled sarcastically, " How come the situation I saw was you being driven out?"Sharon's expression changed, " What are you blathering about? Gilbert treats me so gently. Why in the world would I be driven out?""Oh really? Then did Gilbert lie to me?" Kisa questioned in turn purposely.Sharon's expression turned white for just an instant before she quickly said, " That's right, he lied to you. He did lie to you. He might've wanted to deceive you and planned to make you fall for his affectionate scheme.""If it was truly like you said, he wouldn't want to marry you now. What a shame, you risked your honor and reputation for this show, yet you might not get the result you want," Kisa said.
"Pfft!" Lea instantly made a spitting sound and spoke to Kisa, " Look at that woman. She's smiling like a succubus. Her voice line is filled with a deathly cringe. Do men like this kind of thing? Kisa, when you talk to Mr. Kooper, you should do it like this. Mr. Kooper would definitely spoil you to no end."Kisa was speechless. Where did Lea find the confidence and such certainty?Gilbert's gaze skipped over Sharon and looked at Kisa. Before he could say anything, a swarm of reporters popped out from nowhere and immediately surrounded him and Sharon. Sharon chuckled smugly.Under the pressing questions of the reporters, she would not believe that Gilbert would not marry her. Kisa did not want to join the crowd and was prepared to leave.Lea quickly held onto her, " It's still early. Let us watch this first and see how Mr. Kooper will explain the news today.""What's so interesting about it?" Kisa said, uninterested. With the time in hand, it would be better to go home to sleep."
Lea joyfully shook Kisa's arm. "Did you hear that, Kisa? The news today has nothing to do with Mr. Kooper. He did nothing to that woman.""So what? I didn't believe he would do anything to that woman in the first place."Lea looked embarrassed, wondering why Kisa was becoming increasingly self-possessed these days as if nothing could stir her emotion."Mr. Kooper, what do you mean by that? Isn't that villa under your name?""I transferred the villa to someone else a few days ago, and it was no longer in my name yesterday. If you don't believe me, you can check it out."The reporters looked at each other in confusion."You mean you weren't even in that villa yesterday?""Since it's not my house, why would I stay there?"There was an uproar, and everyone looked over at Sharon with curious eyes. Sharon broke down and shook her head, her face pale. "No, Gilbert. You can't do this. Yesterday you clearly....""I clear what? Or did I do something to you yesterday? I dare you to tell
Just then, Kisa's call came from not far away. Lea's expression changed, and she looked at Anthony nervously.Anthony lowered his voice and said, "Get out of here.""Okay." Lea hurriedly came out of the corner.Seeing Lea coming out of the corner just as she arrived, Kisa came up to meet her. "Why did you come over here without a word? I have been looking all over for you."Lea let out an unnatural smile. "Nature's call. I was looking for a ladies' room."Kisa nodded without giving it a second thought. "And did you find it?""Yeah, I found it." Lea tugged at Kisa's arm. "Come on. Are the reporters still interviewing Mr. Kooper and Sharon?""The reporters are slowly dispersing. There is nothing to see.""Oh? Let's go home, then. You have to pick up the children later."Kisa nodded, and before she left, she suddenly saw a bruise on Lea's neck. Startled, she hurriedly flipped open her collar and asked, "What happened to your neck?""N-Nothing. I'm fine." Lea hurriedly put her co
Sharon's eyes burst with anger and jealousy as she watched Gilbert drive away with Kisa in his car.Celandina cautiously said, "Sharon, what should we do? Mr. Kooper doesn't want to marry you. Wouldn't your reputation be ruined?""Shut the f*ck up." Sharon angrily pushed her to the ground and sneered, "Don't be so proud of yourself. Let me tell you, even if my reputation is ruined, you still cannot take my place."Celandina's face turned pale with fright. "What are you talking about? I have never thought that way. I—""Oh, Celandina. If you have thought that way, just say so. What are you afraid of? I saw you complaining about this international star with other actresses in the ladies' room. Why are you afraid to say anything in front of her now?" Ariella suddenly appeared behind them, her arms crossed in front of her chest with a smug look on her face.Celandina's face instantly changed. "You b*tch. Don't spew—"SLAP!Before she could finish her sentence, Sharon slapped her har
Kisa had been waiting to hear from Jensen for many days. Upon seeing Jensen's call, she felt a sense of happiness. She took the phone and went to the balcony to answer it.Gilbert narrowed his eyes and looked icily at her. He had just glimpsed the caller ID; it was Jensen. 'Does she have to be so happy when Jensen calls her? Her beaming face is eye-glaring indeed.'Blake put his school bag away, then trotted back to the doorway to help his uncle carry the groceries. "Why are you standing at the doorway, Uncle Gilbert?"Gilbert glanced at him, then at Kisa, and said to him, "Your dad called your ma'am. Do you want to talk to your godfather?"Blake shook his head and spoke his mind with simple logic. "If Dad wanted to talk to me, he would have asked Ma'am to give me her cell phone, but Ma'am has been holding the phone, so Dad's call must be for her, not me."Gilbert was speechless. 'Great. Now I can't even fool a five-year-old.' At first, he thought of letting Blake distract the two
Jensen lowered his eyes, drawing back any emotions left in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "That is the only way."Kisa had just hung up the phone when she saw Blake staring at her. It startled her for a second before she asked in bafflement, "What is wrong?""Ma'am, what did Dad say to you?""Huh, how did you know it was your Dad calling?" Kisa wondered as she remembered she didn't mention Jensen's name just now."Uncle Gilbert told me. He said that Dad called you.""Oh, it was him." Kisa instantly knew that it was Gilbert who had sent the boy. She patted Blake on the head and said gently, "Your dad said nothing to me, just some personal matter. Be a good boy in the meantime. He'll be back soon.""Okay. I'll be a good boy," Blake said and dashed back into the kitchen.Gilbert was cutting meat when he saw Blake coming in. He did not ask but waited for Blake to tell him."Uncle Gilbert, Ma'am said that Dad said nothing to her. She also said that what Dad said to her was perso
