Reborn Through Fire Chapter 563 The Best Stepmother in the World
Kisa was flabbergasted and quickly shook her head. "No. Jensen did not mean that. I sprained my ankle because of my carelessness. It has nothing to do with you. Jensen didn't mean to offend you. He has driven for hours and must be exhausted."Adrien smiled. "Don't worry. I was just joking with him."Kisa pursed her lips. She had felt something was not quite right with Jensen today. 'By all rights, Adrien is Jensen's business partner, and his attitude really shouldn't be like this. Besides, Jensen always knows what should and should not be done and said. There must be a reason for him to act this way.'Mia looked at Adrien and then at Jensen anxiously. After a while, she changed the subject and asked, "I'm starving. When will dinner be ready?"Adrien checked his watch. "Mr. Kooper and others should be here soon. The dinner will start as soon as they arrive.""That is hard," Mia said with a half-smile. Feeling bored, she smoked again.Kisa, worried that Jensen might repeat somethin

A faint tobacco scent of Gilbert wafted into Kisa's nostrils, distracting her.Once everyone was seated, Adrien took the lead and raised her glass to Madalyn. "I didn't expect Mrs. Kooper Sr. to come to join us. It is really an honor for me.""I hope you won't find me too old to join you all." Madalyn smiled and raised her glass to clink with Adrien.Adrien smiled and shook his head. "Not at all. It is all about having a good time."Madalyn would usually look furious whenever she saw Kisa, but she smiled nicely in front of outsiders. Even at eighty, there was still a hint of elegance and nobility in how she carried herself. She sized up Adrien and then looked at his face with a frown before letting out a smile. "I'm sorry to ask; have we met before, Mr. Tanner?"Adrien was holding his cutlery, and his hand froze for a second. He then lowered the cutlery on his plate and looked straight at Madalyn. "I don't think so. Why?""Oh, nothing. I just think you look familiar as if we have

Before Kisa knew what had happened, hot soup was splashed on her body. The soup had just been hotly served on the table. Kisa felt her skin starting to burn."I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." Sitting next to her, Emma quickly got up and took a tissue to wipe the splashed soup from her body.Jensen got up at once and came over to check on Kisa anxiously. "Are you okay?"Kisa shook her head and brushed away Emma's hand. "It is alright. I will do it myself." She took a tissue and wiped the soup stains from her legs and her white down jacket while furrowing her brows in annoyance.The most annoying thing was when Emma cried and apologized to her. "I'm sorry, Ms. Becker. I really didn't mean to do it. I just wanted to serve a bowl of soup to Mrs. Kooper Sr. But somehow, my hand slipped. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.""It is okay. I don't blame you," Kisa said calmly and held back her emotions.But Emma cried even harder. "Ms. Becker, don't be angry. It is all my fault. What should I do? I

Perhaps because of the pain from the scald on her legs or the slippery floor, Kisa failed to get up twice.Sharon, sitting across the table, took the opportunity to taunt her. "Ms. Becker, you're really delicate; a sprained ankle has taken so long to heal."Kisa smiled at her calmly. "Yes, I'm not delicate, just that my body is so weak that even a minor injury takes a long time to heal.""You're so pretentious!" Mia, sitting next to Sharon, could not help but mock.Kisa was not angry, as she was used to hearing Mia's taunts. And when Sharon heard Mia say the same thing about Kisa, she was even more triumphant and sneered at Kisa blatantly. "This beautiful woman is right; you are really pretentious. If I remember correctly, you have been like this since you were a child, making a mountain out of a molehill for a minor injury. You were in a wheelchair two days ago, so why not today? Is it because it will catch too much attention? If you were really afraid of attracting too much atten

At the moment, she was sitting on the leather couch, on which a pillow was nestled in the corner, with nothing to cover her legs. She panicked and went to pick up the jeans on the floor, then glanced at the door in embarrassment—even more so when she realized it was Gilbert standing outside. She pulled her jeans haphazardly over her legs, and her cheeks blushed."Mr. Kooper," Lea looked puzzledly at Gilbert, "are you looking for Kisa?"Gilbert glanced expressionlessly over Kisa's white legs, his eyes lingering on her lace pant legs for a few seconds before looking away. He then tossed a tube of ointment at Lea and turned to leave.Lea picked up the ointment and asked, "What is this?""It is for burns. The kids asked me to bring it over." Gilbert had already walked away as his voice trailed off.Lea glanced at him in surprise as he left, then turned to close the door."Mr. Kooper has an ointment for burns." Lea excitedly handed the scalding medicine to Kisa.Kisa took a look at i

Gilbert frowned. "My father?""Yes, I met your parents. See, your eyes are similar to your father's. Seeing you always reminds me of him."Fragments of memories flashed in his mind, and coming along with those memories was an unspeakable fear. Gilbert subconsciously clenched his hand on his knees, and with the other hand, he pushed the cigarette into his mouth with urgency, as if smoking could relieve his inner panic and fear.Adrien did not notice the abnormality. He took a sip of wine, and his gaze drifted away as if he recalled the past. "Your father was a famous figure in Calthon, rich and handsome, with many women craving for him. At that time, we often..." As if he realized he had said something wrong, he suddenly stopped, took another sip of wine, and switched topics to talk about Gilbert's mother. "Your mother is also a capable person, a famous artist manager who looked like a perfect match whenever they stood side by side. It was a pity..." while speaking, his eyes that had

As Kisa's injured ankle had yet recovered, she was yanked out of her balance and plunged to the ground.Jensen hurriedly held her up and looked at Madalyn. "She has done nothing wrong.""She has done nothing wrong?" Madalyn sneered, "She is the one who did this to Gilbert, and you are telling me she has done nothing wrong?"Jensen and Kisa looked at each other; neither of them understood what Madalyn was talking about. Adrien quietly watched on with questions on his mind. He then asked Madalyn, "What is going on here, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?"Madalyn wiped her tears away in anguish. "Gilbert was in the car when his parents met with an accident. His mother saved him with her life. He was covered in blood, completely terrified. He only slowly got better after countless visits to a psychiatrist. But no one can mention his parents in front of him. Otherwise, he will suffer a relapse.""I didn't know that," Adrien said with a sad face. "Didn't you ask the doctor what was going on?"Madalyn s
Last Updated : 2022-11-30Reborn Through Fire Chapter 570 Are You Thinking of Avenging His Parents?
"Gilbert has a mental trauma? How come you never told me about it?" Adrien asked in a reproachful voice.Jensen chuckled. Smoke was puffed out from his mouth and obscured the sneer on his face. He flicked off the ashes of his cigarette and said in a faint voice, "I didn't know he had it either.""Impossible!"Jensen sneered, "Why not? Since his parents passed on from the car accident, everyone in the Kooper family was forbidden to mention his parents. For all the years I lived in the Kooper family, I had never seen him have this condition. How could I know he had a mental trauma? "With a cigarette in his mouth, Adrien looked at Jensen with disgust. "You better tell me the truth."Jensen smiled nonchalantly. "Believe it or not."Adrien gave him a baleful glare. "Get out."Jensen didn't want to stay, either. He got up and walked outside. But he stopped at the door, running the cigarette between his thumb and index finger. After a while, he finally opened his mouth. "Do you have a

Reborn Through Fire Chapter 1616
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
