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

    "Where are your shoes?" Gilbert asked in a faint voice."I gave them to Ariella," Kisa replied casually.He let out a mocking smile. 'When did this vicious woman become so kind-hearted?' Gilbert looked out the window, finding that those feet of hers were an eyesore.Sometime later, the car finally slowed to a stop. Kisa glanced out the window. In front of her eyes was a magnificent, luxurious hotel.Gilbert had already gotten out of the car first. She hesitated for a long while but still followed and got out of the car at last. As much as she resented staying in the same hotel with Gilbert, there was no other option at the moment, as her documents were not with her, and she could not stay in any hotel."Okay, Mr. Kooper. I will go right away." Davian hung up the phone helplessly. He turned to look at Kisa. "Mrs. Kooper, you should go in. Mr. Kooper is staying on the 30th floor, Room 3008.""Aren't you going in?""I have to go buy medicine."When Kisa heard that, she remembered

    Kisa's body was already sore, and the way he threw it on the floor hurt her even more. She grimaced.Gilbert glanced at her and said, "Go and take a shower. You stink of smoke and alcohol." It annoyed him that she still smelled of Anthony's perfume.Kisa was amused at the sound of it. "I haven't been in the room as long as you have, have I?"Gilbert sat languidly on the couch and looked at her with frosty eyes. "Two choices: either go take a shower or get the hell out of here."She took a deep breath. 'Fine. I will leave. It is not like I want to see him.' Kisa struggled to get up and out the door but hesitated at the sight of the long, dark hallway. She figured that if she went out there alone, Anthony would catch her soon enough. His only reason for catching her was to provoke Gilbert, who did not care if she lived or died, and she would probably lose her life. 'Forget about it. What is the point of getting angry with Gilbert? Better safe than sorry. He has always been so mean to

    The door was pulled open, and Anthony appeared outside the door with a wicked smile on his face. "You left so early just now. I wonder if you're unhappy because I have not shown you enough hospitality." He leaned against the door with his hands in his pockets, but his eyes looked past Gilbert into the room.Gilbert did not expose him, just calmly turning his body sideways. "You came over here so late. You're not here to apologize to me, are you?""Of course. After all, it is not like you would come here every day. So, as the host, I have got to receive you with warm hospitality." While speaking, Anthony walked in uninvited. The word 'host' also clearly declared that this was his territory.Gilbert sneered. When he saw Anthony's eyes drifting around, he smiled and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"Anthony's eyes turned to the couch, and he sat down. He then lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and said casually, "No. I just want to see if you have hired any call girls. If not, I c

    Gilbert squinted and clenched his teacup.Anthony unceremoniously entered the bedroom as if a visitor, checking the cabinet and going around to the bathroom.Gilbert was relieved when Anthony did not find the woman. He lowered his eyes and laughed sarcastically. "You are interesting, Anthony. Those who don't know would think that you are here looking for your cheating girlfriend."Anthony had egg on his face when he did not find Kisa. He chuckled. "I just want to see if you really did not have any call girl here." Gilbert was sipping his tea casually, a stark contrast to Anthony's impatience. He carefully gazed at Gilbert's expression, but he could see not the slightest flaw on his calm face. He frowned. 'Could it be that he wasn't the person who saved the ugly woman?'As Anthony was thinking, Gilbert suddenly looked at him. "It is getting late now. I have a meeting tomorrow. If you don't want to leave, you can stay for the night. It is just that I don't have any women here. So I

    "G-Gilbert."Kisa scaled the wall with difficulty, barely supported by her feet, with only eight inches of protruding edge of the wall."Are you crazy?" Gilbert yelled, reaching out to grab her.Kisa was scared to death, breaking out in a cold sweat and shivering from the icy wind.Gilbert felt a bit relieved when he finally got hold of her cold hand. Good thing she was so light. He then lifted her in like a tattered doll.Kisa breathed a sigh of relief as soon as her feet landed, and her body fell limply to the floor.Seeing her pale face, Gilbert reached out and closed the window. "At least you are smart enough to know where to hide. But this is the 30th floor; if you make the slightest mistake, you will fall to your death." Gilbert said casually, but deep down inside, he was in trepidation. He always claimed that he wanted this woman to die, but at the critical moment, he still wanted this woman to live. He could not explain these contradictory thoughts."You think I want to

    "The way things are going right now, I don't know if I can still get back to Calthon safely. I-If I do unfortunately die here, please give the role back to Howard." If death was inevitable, then she would like to die for something worthwhile.'It is Howard again. How dare she follow me to Athadale for Howard and cause all this unnecessary trouble?' Gilbert's chest heaved violently with anger and a touch of unknown emotion. He paced to the window with his arms akimbo. He then took a deep breath, turned around, and sneered at her. "You really don't give up, do you?""I won't give up begging for you until you give Howard back his role.""Heh!" Gilbert laughed. "Why should I give it back to him? Do I owe him anything?""What does it matter if you grant me this small request when I'm now suffering from an unwarranted disaster because of you? Also, you also said that if I die, you will return his role to him.""Then let's wait until you are dead," Gilbert said, walking over to the bed.

    "Trying the same old trick of climbing into my bed again?" The voice that came abruptly startled Kisa, who almost dropped her phone on the floor. She panicked and looked toward the sound and found a flickering spot of fire at the window. Gilbert was not sleeping but smoking in the darkness of the night. Since he was not sleeping, Kisa went straight to turn on the light. As the light came on, she saw his cold and despicable handsome face.He looked like he had God's favor; he not only was rich and powerful but also had a face that made women jealous. It was a pity that his unfeeling expression ruined the good-looking face.Gilbert exhaled a smoke ring and chuckled. "You are really desperate for Howard, eh? Unfortunately, even if you stand in front of me naked, I will not feel a thing. So, save your breath." He had just calmed his anger down earlier, and now this woman came in to piss him off again.Kisa ignored his cynicism and asked calmly, "Do you have an extra quilt?"Gilbert w

    "Hah. You're so keen to die just so that Howard would have his role back?"Gilbert sneered while walking toward Kisa.Just as she was about to respond, he spoke again."Let me tell you something: even if you actually die, I still won't give him the role."Hearing this, Kisa gave up on explaining to him. 'He's so awful; he never keeps his words,' she thought.In a fit of rage, Gilbert barged over and pushed her back several steps."If you want to die, go ahead. Just stop giving me any more trouble.""I'm giving you trouble? " Kisa slammed the door angrily. "Ask yourself this: who's the one causing trouble here at Athadale?" she continued shouting."You!" Gilbert retorted."Me?" Kisa asked."If you hadn't followed me to Athadale for Howard, you wouldn't have been spotted by Anthony. I also wouldn't be held back right now for trying to protect you. You're a burden.""Me... A burden?" Kisa was furious. "I wasn't following you! I was spotted by Anthony because of you! What'

    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
