Kisa was startled and quickly turned to Adrien.There was a jade bracelet in Adrien's hand. However, judging from its color, it was not the one that belonged to her mother.'Even though I've only seen my mother's jade bracelet in photos, I vividly remember it being a shade of light wash of turquoise. It looked lustrous. While the jade bracelet Adrien's holding also looks costly, its color is a little deep. There's an obvious difference between this jade bracelet compared to my mother's. I only caught a glimpse of it; did I really make a mistake? Am I relating everything I see to mother because I want to find her child, my biological brother, badly?' thought Kisa.Seeing the woman in his arms lost in thought, Gilbert asked lowly, "I can buy you jade bracelets if you like them. I can buy you as many as you like."Kisa snapped back and said coolly, "There's no need. I don't really like wearing jewelry."Then, she flashed a smile at Adrien, "Sorry, I made a mistake.""Are you looking
Kisa's hair was completely soaked. The shirt she wore was so drenched it had soaked through the blanket covering her.Her lips had turned purple from the cold, and her body shivered slightly.Seeing Kisa this way made Gilbert feel upset and angry.However, he had no reason to be angry with her since she was in this state because of the shoot. Nonetheless, he felt a stuffy feeling in his chest.Kisa saw the man's sulky expression, but she could not be bothered.She turned around and walked toward the changing room.Just as she took a few steps, a large coat was suddenly draped over her shoulders.Then, his deep voice sounded, "I worked hard to nurse you to recovery for the past few days, so don't get sick again."Kisa frowned.'No matter how I look at it, this tone of his sounds like it has a hint of contempt and complaint,' she thought.She reached out and prepared to remove the coat.However, Gilbert pressed her shoulders aggressively, "Stop it! Put on the coat."Kisa glar
Right after Gilbert took two puffs of his cigarette, a high-pitched shriek came from the changing room.Gilbert's heart sank. He quickly put out the cigarette and rushed toward the changing room.Since the costume drama was filmed outdoors, the changing room was temporary and made of metal sheets.The interior of the changing room was shabby; there were only a few closets and a few leather stools.Since Kisa had taken off her clothes, she was left in only her underwear.Her entire body was against the side of a closet while her entire body trembled.One of her hands clutched her chest while the other pointed at the closet across her. Her pale face was filled with fear,Gilbert rushed over. He took off his jacket and draped it over her. Then, he wrapped his arms around her body tightly."What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.Gilbert could feel the woman's body trembling violently."Snakes... There are snakes... Snakes in the clothes..."'Snakes?' thought Gilbert.He frowned and
Kelvin asked in a puzzled tone. Then, he squatted down and started examining Kisa and Gilbert.Some crew members and actors had not left, including Adrien.Adrien sat beside them and smoked a cigarette. He peered at the bag containing the snakes and said solemnly, "It seems like the safety measure on set needs to be strengthened in the future. It's a good thing that no lives were lost.""If the snake were venomous, Kisa would've been dead by now." Gilbert continued icily, "Check the cameras and see who was vicious enough to hide snakes in her closet."There was a glint in Sharon's eyes."Don't be that extreme, Gilbert. We're shooting at a parkland with plenty of flora and fauna, so it's not a surprise that there are snakes. It wouldn't be strange if they slithered into her closet through the slits of the metal sheets. Maybe this was just an accident.""Hmph!" Gilbert laughed sardonically."Isn't it strange for snakes to appear during winter? There are so many closets here, yet a
Gilbert was enraged as he sat back in his chair and stared daggers at Kelvin.Kelvin rubbed his nose, feeling wronged and angry. 'He is as gutless as ever. He doesn't dare to glare at the woman and take it out on me. Coward! A disgrace to men!' he cursed in his mind."I'm sorry about this, Mr. Tanner. Look, Ms. Becker is fine, so let's forget about it. I will teach my assistant a lesson later." Sharon was still trying to please Adrien.But Adrien just smiled and remained silent.Kisa sneered and looked at Celandina. "Did you quietly put this snake in my locker?"Celandina glanced at Sharon, shivering, not speaking.Sharon came over and smiled at Kisa. "Come on. It is just a prank. You are a celebrity. Don't be so mean to an assistant. Besides, you just slapped me, and I didn't even take it personally. We, as celebrities, should be more open-minded.""Well, you are right, but I'm still angry. How about you stick your hand in that bag and let the snake bite you? Then I will let th
Kisa nestled in Gilbert's arms, looking frail. "I-I never thought I would end up dying of snake venom. I feel so terrible," Kisa said with difficulty. "But I can't accept this. I-I want the person who did this to pay with her life. Even if that doesn't happen, I want her to go to jail for the rest of her life."Celandina slumped on the floor in fear. "It wasn't me. I didn't release the snake." She screamed, pointing at Sharon. "It was her. She released the snake. I told her not to, but she didn't listen. She did it."SLAP!Sharon slapped her hard and yelled viciously, "B*tch, if you keep talking nonsense, I will rip your mouth off!""Enough!" Celandina rose to her feet and glared at Sharon. "I have been loyal to you, but what about you? You either use me as a punching bag or treat me like a dog. I'm sick of it. Look at how Kisa treats her assistant! You aren't even one ten-thousandth as good as Kisa was. No wonder Mr. Kooper doesn't like you.""Aaaah, b*tch! Shut the f*ck up!" Sha
Sharon nodded her head in a panic. "Please ask. I will tell you as long as I know the answer.""Where is Sara?" Kisa asked.Gilbert's heart skipped a beat. He looked over at Kisa and saw her icy side face. 'She forced Sharon to confess to the crime just to extract information about Sara's whereabouts? But why does she want to find Sara? Is it to prove that she didn't kidnap Sara back then, or because of me?' he thought to himself.Sharon was visibly stunned, seemingly not expecting such a question from Kisa. She froze in place for a long while without answering."You had better answer me truthfully. Otherwise, I will call the police and have the authorities arrest you immediately," Kisa said with a sneer."No, don't!" Sharon panicked when she heard Kisa was going to call the police. "I-I don't know where Sara is, really. I don't know where she is. I have never seen her in all these years."Kisa studied Sharon's expression carefully; there was panic and fear on her face, and it lo
"You b*tch, you aren't even poisoned. You lied to me?"Seeing that Sharon had figured it out, Kisa stopped pretending, as she had asked all the questions she wanted to ask. She slowly got off Gilbert's arms, and her face's frailty and painful expression vanished, replaced by a bitter smile.Gilbert's heart sank at seeing her sudden change of face. He was astonished by Kisa's acting skills and unsure if it was a good thing. He now felt that he did not know her anymore.Sharon was so incensed that she glared at Kisa and Kelvin. "You guys... You guys are working together to dupe me?""So what?" Kelvin snorted. "If we didn't create this drama, we wouldn't have known that you did all those nefarious things back then."Kisa leaned over slightly and smiled nonchalantly at her. "There is one more thing I forgot to tell you; there are no surveillance cameras here. The so-called 'surveillance' is just to scare you. I didn't expect you to be such a chicken.""You... You..." Sharon gripped t
