"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
Gilbert looked tense. "Grandma, what do you want to do again?"Madalyn held back her anger. "I'm not doing anything. Just letting you see that woman's true character." After saying this, she was still disgruntled. "You think I will harm you?"Gilbert pursed his lips and said nothing.George put a recorder on the coffee table. With the button turned on, Kisa's voice came out from the recorder at once."I have been keeping him at arm's length, playing hard to get with him, and occasionally flirting a bit to trick him into falling in love with me and then taking revenge on him.""The man I love is never him.""But I remember you told me many years ago that you loved Gilbert.""Yes, I lied to you because I wanted to be the wife of GK's CEO. Would you have forced him to marry me had I not lied to you? I think I have you to thank for my marriage with Gilbert."Gilbert listened quietly to the conversation on the voice recorder, his face unusually calm.Madalyn thought he did not beli
"Grandma, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."Madalyn was about to say something more, but Gilbert had already walked out, leaving Madalyn holding her cane in grief. "George, what do you think we should do now?""Mrs. Kooper Sr., let him be. You know he is headstrong and will stick it to the end when he loves someone. So why break them up?"Madalyn shook her head and said sadly, "You don't understand. Had that thing never happened, I could have agreed to them being together. Now that the thing is standing between them, it will kill Gilbert when he finds out the truth, and that pain is no less than being separated from that woman. So I can only try to prevent them from being together now."George was still none the wiser. "Which thing are you talking about, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?"Madalyn waved her hand and shook her head. "Forget it. I don't want to mention the past, but Gilbert should never be with her in this life."George sighed sadly.When Gilbert heard the recorded conversation
Even if Kisa covered herself from top to toe, Gilbert could recognize her instantly. 'The weather has turned colder. Where is she going at this hour?' While he was thinking, Kisa got into her car and drove off. With no time to think, Gilbert turned the car around and followed her.It was almost 9.00 pm, and there were still many people and cars on the street.Gilbert was following Kisa's car closely, afraid to lose her. After about half an hour, Kisa's car drove toward the airport. It puzzled Gilbert. 'Why is she going to the airport at this hour? Is she going to another city to attend some event? If she is going to an event, why isn't her assistant following her?' He followed her into the parking area of the airport. Kisa got out of the car and went straight toward the arrival hall. She also made a phone call while walking. Gilbert frowned. 'Is she coming to pick up someone? Is the person that important for her to pick him up personally at this hour?' Suppressing his curiosity, he h
Kisa drove Jensen to a restaurant serving Lyonnaise cuisine. She unbuckled her seat belt and smiled at Jensen. "The food in this restaurant is good. Gilbert took the kids and me here once before. You can try it."Jensen smiled. "Good, I like Lyonnaise cuisine."Kisa smiled and got out of the car. "Did you have a pleasant trip?""Yeah."Gilbert watched quietly as the two walked into the restaurant together, his grip on the steering wheel tightening.Kisa had reserved a private room. She took off her mask, took a deep breath, and sighed. "This is much more comfortable."Jensen looked at her with amusement. "It is tiring to be an artist, isn't it?""It is alright. Fame and inconvenience always go hand in hand."Jensen smiled and looked at her with gentle eyes. "By the way, I have watched the premiere of your drama. It has a high viewership, rating, and great public praise. Kohen is pleased with your performance."Kisa was relieved upon hearing what Jensen said, but she remained m
