No matter how indifferent and ruthless Kisa acted, Gilbert refused to believe she would stand by and watch him die.Kisa's expression remained nonchalant. She even occasionally took a sip of water leisurely until he completely stood with two legs on the window ledge when her expression subtly changed. 'This is a dozen floors off the ground. He will certainly die if he falls,' she thought to herself. Gilbert stood on the window ledge without holding on to anything. He just needed to lean forward a bit, or when someone gently pushed him from behind, he would fall. Kisa involuntarily gripped the glass in her hand and stared at him from behind. Although she did not quite believe that he would jump, she still felt trepidation.Gilbert suddenly turned around slowly, his tall body looking as if a piece of paper and a gust of wind could blow him away.Kisa looked on with apprehension and then hurriedly looked away, thinking she was nervous, not because she cared about him. After all, no mat
Kisa put the notebook to her chest and snapped, "This is not something you can read."As playful as Gilbert was, he could not help but become jealous upon hearing that. "I can't read it, but Jensen can?"Kisa frowned. "When did I say Jensen could read it? This is my mother's notebook. You can't look at it, and naturally Jensen can't either. It contains my mother's privacy, and I won't let any of you read it."Gilbert felt much better at hearing that. He did not know that it was her mother's belongings. He suddenly remembered what Davian said, "Especially if Mrs. Kooper Sr. wants it badly but never gets it. You can certainly impress her if you can get it for her."Seeing that she cared so much about her mother, he wondered what else there was about her mother besides this notebook. When he thought of her returning to the Case residence to get her mother's belongings, Gilbert looked at her. "The last time you went back to the Case residence to get your mother's belongings—""I lied
Peter frowned and shook off the woman's hand. "If it is not something you should touch, you'd better not touch it."The frivolous man's face suddenly turned sinister, and the woman stepped back to the side in fear, not daring to say anything. Adrien held a cigarette in his hand and stared at the bracelet on Peter's wrist for a long time, his mind drifting off, while Jensen glanced at him with a sneer.Just then, there was a sudden brawl outside the door, where Anthony and Sharon barged in despite several bodyguards trying to stop them."Mr. Tanner, we are sorry we couldn't stop them."Adrien flicked off the cigarette ashes and sat upright. "It is alright. I will handle this.""Aye."Anthony frowned when he saw Jensen and Peter. Adrien smiled gently and looked back at Jensen and Mia. "It is getting late. You all go back and rest. See you all another day."Jensen gave a wry smile, saying nothing, and turned around to leave via the other exit. Mia hurriedly followed him.Then Anth
Before Sharon could get up, Anthony stepped on her back and grabbed her hair, forcing her to tilt her head back. "Speaking of which, it is all your fault, you b*tch!""It is obvious that you are greedy, and you think of taking over GK. I didn't force you to work with me. Now you try to blame it on me after losing money. Heh, that is ridiculous," Sharon snarled."You were the one who said Gilbert was dead, so I started a company with you. But what happened? Please f*cking tell me why Gilbert is still alive."Anthony became furious at the mention of this. He pulled at her hair and yanked her hard. Sharon fell to the ground in a heap, her scalp tingling with pain. Yet Anthony did not stop there; he continued to kick her. Peter shook his head and snickered, then continued to play his billiards. Nearby, the women with heavy makeup were too scared to make a sound.Adrien exhaled a ring of smoke and chuckled. "That is enough. You won't get your money back even if you beat her to death. So
"I heard that you and Gilbert went together these days to investigate the prison fire that happened back then."Kisa paused what she was doing and asked with a smile, "How do you know?" Jensen's sudden question reminded her of the mysterious man who saved the two jailers.But Jensen smiled and said, "I ran into Davian when I went to pick Blake up from the Kooper residence; he told me about it."Kisa pursed her lips. 'So he wasn't the person who sent the mysterious group of men.' She continued to sort out the ingredients she had just bought. "Although we didn't find the real culprit of the fire, Gilbert cleared his name, at least," she said without looking up."Oh yeah? That's good."Kisa then glanced at him. "At first, I was convinced that Gilbert was behind the fire because of a conversation outside the door. I hated him for several years. But now I know that the conversation was deliberately made between the two jailers for my benefit at the behest of someone else.""That's goo
"Ma'am."Kisa was busy in the kitchen when a child suddenly hugged her from behind, startling her. When she held the little hands and spun the child around, she saw the cute little face of Ada, whose bright eyes almost melted her heart."What's up?" She stroked Ada's little hair bun and asked gently, "Are you hungry? Wait a little longer. The ravioli and apple dumplings are almost ready."Ada shook her head and let out a mysterious smile. "I came to tell you that Daddy will come over later. He has a surprise for you."Kisa's smile froze. She did not think Gilbert would bring her any surprises, and he would only spoil her mood if he came. But to avoid hurting the children's feelings, she said politely, "Look, it is so cold now, and there is snow and wind. The temperature is going to drop tonight. It is better to ask your daddy not to come, lest he will get sick from the cold.""Wow, Ma'am, so you are concerned about Daddy. I'm going to tell him.""Hey, hey..." Kisa tried to stop h
There was a muffled grunt.Not waiting for any reaction from the person, Kisa rushed into the kitchen, locked the door behind her, and took out her cell phone to call the police. Just as she turned on her phone's screen, the kitchen lights came on. She looked out the door in surprise as she saw Gilbert glaring at her.He was holding a tray of apple dumplings that they had not finished eating in the afternoon, but half of them were on the floor. Gilbert was so angry that he pounded on the kitchen door.Kisa rubbed her nose. She did just knock him with a cane, but she felt she had done nothing wrong, as it was him who sneaked around in her kitchen at night, and she could only think it was a burglar.Only when the man stopped pounding on the door did Kisa open the kitchen door. But as soon as the door was opened, Gilbert yelled at her, "You are f*cking nuts! I almost got KO'ed by your cane!""I dare you to hit me again!" Kisa frowned in disgustGilbert was so angry that he couldn't
Kisa saw a worn photo album sitting on the coffee table and immediately recognized that it was her mother's photo album, the one she had seen at the Case residence but had not been able to take it. She hurriedly picked up the album and could not wait to open it.The first page was a snapshot of her mother sitting in front of the window, her face gentle, just as Kisa remembered. She stroked her mother's face, and tears fell involuntarily. They dropped right on her mother's bracelet in the photo. She hurriedly used her hand to wipe it, afraid of spoiling the photo.Gilbert watched her quietly, not forgetting to bring the apple dumpling to his mouth.Kisa took a deep breath and gathered her emotions. She closed the album and looked at Gilbert. "Did you get this from the Case family?"Gilbert nodded. "That day when I saw how precious you treated your mother's notebook, I thought of what you told me last time about going to the Case residence to get your mother's belongings. So I went t
