Kisa asked three questions in a row.Gilbert became tenser when each question was asked. He stared at the two jailers fiercely. His face was extremely gloomy and frightening because of nervousness and fear. Although he did nothing, he was scared that the jailers would talk nonsense and frame him. He panicked when he thought of the mysterious man who rescued the jailers.'The relationship between Kisa and me had finally become better. I can't let her misunderstand me anymore. Otherwise, we can't return to the past.'The jailers looked at Gilbert with evasive eyes as if they were ready to take hints from Gilbert to talk.Kisa frowned and said to Gilbert, "Go outside. I'll ask them.""No!" Gilbert's face was sullen. "What if they attack you?""You can let your subordinates watch over here."Gilbert still refused to go outside.Suddenly, Kisa sneered, "Why? Did you do something wrong? Do you worry they will expose you, so you insist on threatening them with your eyes here?""Kisa!
Gilbert stood up quickly and looked at Kisa nervously.As Kisa came out, so did the two jailers.There was still a look of fear on the jailers' faces. They handed each other as support and looked at Gilbert with evasive eyes as if it was really him who threatened them back then.Gilbert's heart was filled with anger for a long time. Seeing this, he walked toward the jailers immediately. He was full of fierceness, and his face was gloomy. The jailers screamed in terror.Kisa stopped him. She turned her head to the two jailers and said calmly, "Head home."Although the two jailers were full of fear, there was still a bit of guilt in the fear."M-Ms. Becker, we were possessed and did such insane back then. We're suffering the retribution now. Our days wear on like years in this remote and impoverished place. I hope Ms. Becker will stop hating us and hurting our children.""Yes. Besides, we have told you everything we know. I hope you won't disturb our life in the future. Oh! We rea
"I showed them the photo of Sharon. They were certain that it wasn't the woman in the photo."Kisa was also full of doubts when mentioning this.'I couldn't think of anyone else who had the motive to start that fire back then except Sharon. Another question is why the two jailers were scared of Gilbert.'These doubtful points made Kisa feel unease, and this matter was not over yet.Suddenly, Gilbert took her into his arms when she was thinking about it. He hugged her tightly. There was no irritation or gloom in his tone but joy and excitement, "Everything is fine as long as you believe that fire has nothing to do with me. I'll figure out who set the fire back then."Gilbert's voice became cold abruptly with a malignant scowl as he spoke, "I'll make the murderer pay a terrible price and revenge for you and our child."Speaking of the child, Kisa was reminded of the jailers' words. They had said, "You... have more than a child, right?"I can't remember clearly. The situation was m
Gilbert told Kisa, "Those two jailers locked you in the cell and caused you to suffer for the burn, but you just let them go? I'll make them suffer if you want to revenge.""What do you think of this place?" Kisa asked an irrelevant question suddenly.Gilbert remained silent and looked at her with confusion.Kisa looked around; all she saw were desolate mountains, dilapidated houses, and the distant horizon. This small village, located in the col, was extremely remote and decrepit.She looked at Gilbert, "They had been hiding for six years in fear. That's their punishment. Besides, even if they hadn't done those things at the time, others would have done it. It was ordered by the warden, after all."Gilbert narrowed his eyes slightly, "I must find the warden.""What if he passed away?"Gilbert pursed his thin lips and said nothing.Kisa said solemnly, "Besides that warden, we need to look for the woman they mentioned."The warden just followed that woman's order. So, that woma
"Hey, Davian. Why are you so angry early in the morning?" Sharon walked in with a smile on her face at this moment.Davian hummed, "Because of these ungrateful people who lack acting skills and talents. They couldn't get a contract from any media companies back then. GK was generous. We took them in and gave them a chance to hone their acting. They wanted to terminate the contract without permission and even cursed Mr. Kooper dead.""Who lacks acting skills and talents? Stop looking down on us. You're merely the lackey.""That's right. You're worse than a rookie assistant but just good at flattering.""This is insubordination."Sharon thought of something and intervened as she smiled, "Alright, let's stop the arguing."Davian pulled his tie furiously, "You can't curse Mr. Kooper dead no matter what. Mr. Kooper treats all of you well. It's heartless for you to curse him in this way."Sharon smiled and said, "You can't blame them. Gilbert has disappeared for several days, and none
Kisa stood right up from the shock. "What are you doing?""You must be tired from the long journey. Let me massage you," The man said while resting her leg on his and started to massage. Kisa felt chills from his actions. She drew back her legs with knotted brows. "No, it's alright. I was sitting in the car the whole car ride. My legs are not sore since I didn't walk at all.""Are your shoulders sore? I could massage it for you," He looked at her with deep and sincere eyes. Let the past aside, he really does look like a considerate husband now. Kisa shook her head uncomfortably. "I'm fine. You can leave me on my own.""Are you...""I'm fine, Gilbert. Treat me like how you used to. I feel weird with the way you're acting right now," Kisa could barely recognize the men in front of her. Gilbert's brows scrunched. "Why is it weird? I just want to be nice to you.""You weren't like that before, and now you're...""The past is the past. I want to treat you better. Maybe you'll like me
"Do what she wants. Bring the contracts tomorrow and head to the ribbon-cutting ceremony on time. Let's see if her ambitions are big enough to handle GK Pictures.""What are you planning, Mr. Kooper?"Gilbert smiled enigmatically, "You'll see by then. As for her instructions, you can just follow them all."After hanging up the phone, Kisa looked at him. "Sharon hired the killer to kill us, right? Or else, how would there be rumors of you dying within the artists in GK Pictures."Gilbert's lip lifted into a grin, remained silent, and rose to pour himself a drink. Kisa smiled smugly when she saw Gilbert without a bitter look, "You must be thinking that I wronged her since she's always pure and innocent, where else I'm the evil one.""Don't be ridiculous," Gilbert gave her a smile. Kisa retorted, "I'm speaking the truth.""Alright, stop saying things like this. You know that's not how I really think," He said in a rare gentle tone with a hint of appeasement. Kisa sneered, "Who knows
At this moment, Kisa was full of hatred and was defensive of Gilbert's closeness. The more she struggled, the tighter his embrace was, as if he wanted to blend her inside him. "Can we stop being like this?"Gilbert whispered earnestly, "Promise me that we can get back to the past. I know our past isn't that wonderful, but just let me have the chance to court you. I didn't do it before, but let me make it up for you."Kisa nibbled on her lower lip in anguish. "Too bad, I don't need it anymore." Kisa dreamed that he would chase after her, and they would fall in love like a normal couple once upon a time. But it was all in her head. In reality, there was no sweet love affair, only endless sadness and hurt. She doesn't need a so-called love affair now.Gilbert rested his chin on her neck and said in a deep and intractable voice, "I don't care whether or not you need it or how much you love Jensen. I will never let you go. It doesn't matter if you call me autocratic or selfish. I will ne
