"It is Goddess of My Adoration," Lea said, holding the tablet in front of her. "Look, although the two dramas were released on different platforms, both of which are major ones. Goddess of My Adoration has just garnered over ten million views, while yours has as high as two hundred million."Kisa was somewhat relieved. At first, she thought The Legend of Luna was performing poorly."And your rating was 8.6, to begin with, while Goddess of My Adoration was 3.4, and all the people down there were cursing Sharon and her drama. Tsk..." Lea said. "I pity other actors who have worked so hard. I just don't understand; Sharon's reputation has gone to the dogs, yet Mr. Kooper hasn't put her on the bench. Instead, he let her finish the drama and released it on the same day as yours. Isn't he inviting trouble?" Lea had many questions in mind.But Kisa just smiled. She did not think Gilbert was a fool. She knew men like Gilbert would not make such a mistake in the business world. He probably ha
Sharon was secretly pleased. Even if she could not get Gilbert to love her, she would not let Kisa have it.Kisa could now enjoy a rare moment of freedom, even after the drama was wrapped up. She and Lea stayed at home and watched dramas every day. She watched her drama with extra seriousness and was always thinking about improving her acting skills.One day, Lea saw something funny and laughed out loud. She came up to Kisa. "Look at the comments for the Goddess of My Adoration today. I'm laughing my head off."Seeing Lea's hilarity, Kisa could not help but be curious. She paused the video she was watching and leaned over to look at Lea's tablet.[The female lead's acting skill is garbage. Her face must have had plastic surgery to look that creepy.][Ahh! I think her face job must have gone horribly wrong; her chin looks like a hoe."][The female lead is disgusting. I heard she peed in their pants when abducted. Tsk, goddess, my foot! She is sickening.]The third comment had rec
Kisa's eyes were downcast, and she was silent. 'Madalyn is really up to no good; I could tell by the tone of her voice. It is as if she is facing an enemy.'"You think you are so good now that you're a superstar? How dare you be so arrogant toward me?" Madalyn's voice turned harsher the longer she spoke.Kisa pursed her lips before she asked, "What do you want to talk about, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?""Humph!" Madalyn snorted. "Meet me alone at the teahouse on West Avenue in half an hour," Madalyn said in a stern, commanding tone of voice that allowed no one to retort before hanging up.Lea saw Kisa's expression and was worried. "What is wrong with you?"Kisa shook her head and stared at the dimmed phone screen. Something bad happened every time Madalyn contacted her. She wondered if there was a secret plot against her again. She was hesitant to go when Madalyn suddenly sent her another message.[I wanted to talk to you about the prison fire five years ago. Come if you are interested.]K
"Did you always wonder if Gilbert was behind the prison fire?"Kisa did not answer but asked instead, "Did Gilbert tell you that?""You don't need to know who told me. I asked you to come here today just to tell you that Gilbert was behind the prison fire." Kisa's eyes widened in shock as Madalyn sneered, "I'm Gilbert's grandma, and he cares most about me. It was you who caused me to fall into a coma, so Gilbert's hatred for you was obvious. He had been compassionate toward you by setting you on fire.""You know very well that it wasn't me who caused you to fall into a coma.""So what? As long as Gilbert thinks it was you." Madalyn laughed.Kisa felt a chill running up her spine. 'Judging by Madalyn's tone of voice, she apparently knows who exactly injured her, but she deliberately keeps it to herself and makes everyone think I have done it. She really hates me so much. But why?'"The other day, Gilbert told me he had someone set fire to burn you alive in prison to avenge me, but
"What else do you want to hear if not this?" Madalyn said.Kisa shook her head and let out a half smile. "Thank you for telling me this. At first, I only suspected Gilbert. But now I'm dead sure that it was him after hearing what you said. Tell Gilbert I will take revenge, and I want an eye for an eye.""What a big mouth you have here. I will not let you hurt Gilbert even a bit. Also, Gilbert could have killed you back then, yet you are still playing this kind of relationship game with him. Don't you feel disgusted? If you are capable, fight him squarely instead of playing this false relationship game."Kisa did not respond.Madalyn hissed and got to her feet. She held her cane and said in disgust, "You should have died in your mother's womb and saved others the trouble."Kisa subconsciously clenched her hands. The scene of her mother kneeling in the rain, yelling at her, came to mind. 'Why do you have to exist in this world? How much better it would be if you didn't exist!''Eve
"You... You..." Sharon was so angry that her body was shaking."I feel a lot better after slapping you," Kisa mocked."B*tch!" Sharon hissed, picking up the kettle on the table and splashing it at Kisa. The water was boiling hot, with steam rising as Sharon emptied it from the kettle. It would cause serious burns when the skin came into contact with it. Fortunately, Kisa had dodged in time, and the boiling water splashed onto the chairs in front of her and the wooden floor. Sharon was probably not careful as the boiling water scalded her. She immediately threw away the kettle and cried in pain.Kisa came out from behind the chair and saw Sharon nursing her hand, the back of which was red. She said sarcastically, "That is karma, isn't it?"Sharon glared at her. "I didn't know you were more sinister and vicious than anyone else, b8tch."Kisa stared at Sharon expressionlessly and let her curse all she wanted."Why did you tell others about our abduction?"Kisa was startled for a mo
She rubbed her aching temple and cautioned herself to stop guessing. Besides, Jensen had already found the mystery man who had saved her; in time, she could learn something from him. She would not take what Madalyn had said seriously, but she would not completely rule out Gilbert's suspicions, either. She would wait and see how things would unfold, eventually.To clear her mind, Kisa did not return to her place immediately but wandered along the road. It was almost four 4.00 pm when Kisa texted Lea to help her pick up the three children. She did not know when Gilbert would take Andrew and Ada back to the Kooper family. Since they had been with her for over two months, she would feel sad if they left.The air was cool today, with no wind and clouds. Leaves covered both sides of the street, making the scenery desolate. Kisa pulled her collar closer as she walked silently along a quiet trail full of leaves. Suddenly, someone ran out of a courtyard and hugged her tightly, shocking her. B
Kisa suddenly understood. 'No wonder Sharon's embarrassing story about wetting her pants is all over the Internet.'The sky quickly darkened this early winter and was already completely dark by 7.00 p.m. when Gilbert arrived at the Kooper residence. The living room was well-lit. As he walked in quickly, he was relieved to see Madalyn sitting on the couch. He walked over. "Grandma, are you all right?"Madalyn grunted while holding her cane in her hand. "You are back at last. How long has it been since you have been back to this house? I think that woman has held you spellbound."Gilbert had no words when he saw his grandmother so angry. "Grandma, next time you want me to come back, you can tell me directly. Why do you always have to lie that you are sick? It is ominous to curse yourself like this.""Tell you directly?" Madalyn was furious at the mention of this. "When have you ever listened whenever I asked you to come back? Would you have come back if I hadn't cursed myself like th
