Sharon looked at his face and asked with trepidation. "W-What booster shot?"Adrien snickered at her. "You don't need to know. Just wait for it."Sharon was about to ask something more when she saw a fleeting resentment on Adrien's face. The next second, Adrien requested his men to send her away. He sneered with a disdainful look on his face as Sharon left.Peter felt puzzled and came up to Adrien. "Uncle Adrien, why are you helping her if you hate her?""You think I'm helping her?" Adrien smoked a cigarette and chuckled."Haven't you been helping her get out of trouble? Isn't this helping her?" Peter shrugged amusedly.He looked down and smoothened the creases of his pant legs. "No. What I want is death for everyone in the Case family." Adrien said in an emotionless yet sinister voice.It startled Peter, who now found his uncle more and more strange.Realizing that he had frightened Peter, Adrien quickly looked up at him without the earlier sinister look but a touch of avuncul
"Kisa, Kisa, Mr. Kooper has sent flowers again." Lea held a large bouquet of roses in her hand. The gorgeous dark red roses stood out, and everyone, including Sharon, and Sharon's mother, Carolyn, on the set was looking her way.Carolyn had come to visit Sharon today. She was wearing heavy makeup and dressed up, even for her age. It made people wonder if she was trying to seduce someone.Seeing that Kisa said nothing for a long moment, Lea said with regret, "Should I throw this bouquet away as usual? It is a pity. It is such a beautiful bouquet." She then turned around and was about to go to the garbage bin.Just then, Kisa called out to her, glanced meaningfully at Carolyn and Sharon, and then took the roses from Lea's arms. Carolyn had been muttering in Sharon's ear with a look of contempt and jealousy on her face when Lea ran over with the flowers. So Kisa thought she might as well make them jealous since they were such green-eyed monsters."Kisa, you are finally willing to acce
"Can't you see? All she wants is the flowers. There is no wonder no one sends her flowers—she is too old. She is jealous at seeing Gilbert send me so many flowers at once!"Carolyn's heavily made-up face scrunched up at once, looking repulsive. "I dare you to say that again, b*tch!"Kisa let out a luscious smile at Carolyn. And when Davian saw her smile, he was transfixed for a moment. He had not noticed it before, but now he thought that Gilbert's wife was actually quite good-looking and that her smile was almost flirtatious. 'Tsk, Mr. Kooper really has an eye for women,' he thought."Auntie Carolyn, I know my dad is not a romantic, and he never sends you flowers or anything. So whenever you see others receiving flowers, you would get jealous and imagine that those flowers were for you or Sharon. I totally understand this kind of thinking. But hey, it's just a few bouquets of flowers. Since Gilbert has given me so many flowers today, and I have no use for them, I might as well give
"Mom, he is Mr. Tanner I told you about," Sharon whispered into Carolyn's ear. "He is very good at what he does and says he knows you and Dad from way back.""Mr. Tanner?" Carolyn frowned and studied Adrien carefully. She could not remember when she had known this man, but the familiarity was real. Besides, that inexplicable familiarity made her blush and flutter. She hurriedly looked away, her cheeks a little red and hot.Adrien swept his eyes over her with a meaningful smile on his lips.The four men soon came over. The first thing Peter did was look around, obviously searching for Jolina. Not long after, he walked in a direction.Kisa glanced over and found Jolina nestled in a corner.Gilbert came over and looked at the empty cart and then the flowers in everyone's arms. He then approached Kisa in a low voice, "Don't you like the flowers I gave you?""Oh! It was really you who gave me those flowers," Kisa said in surprise, her voice not too loud, just enough for Carolyn to hea
"Mr. Tanner said that he would treat us all to dinner after work today, so let's shoot the next scene carefully and try to finish early.""Wow, long live Mr. Tanner. Mr. Tanner is awesome!""I'm so happy. Not only do we get flowers, but we are also treated to dinner.""All thanks to Mr. Tanner and Ms. Becker. They are so nice."There were all compliments to Adrien and Kisa. While Sharon's face darkened with jealousy, Carolyn kept staring at Adrien as if she were smitten with him.Gilbert grinned again at Kisa. "Well, now we are all going to dinner together. You can say no to me, but you can't say no to Mr. Tanner, can you?"Kisa snorted. "Then I won't sit at the same table with you," she said and tried to pull her hand back, but he grabbed her hand like a scoundrel and would not let go. Kisa got chafed and kicked him. "I need to start shooting now. Let go of me."The director was indeed calling everyone over. Gilbert smiled at her before letting her go. Jensen, who sat at the sa
She frowned and turned her head, only to see Gilbert's face inches from hers. She hurriedly moved to the side and glared at him. "Just eat your meal. What are you doing getting so close to me?""You didn't hear me when I called out to you a few times, so I had to come closer for you to hear me." Gilbert let out a faint smile, which looked a bit dirty in her eyes.Kisa did not want to talk to him but ate her meal silently. Gilbert served her some more of her favorite dishes, but she resisted, covering her plate with her hands and moving it away.Peter and Jolina were in the same situation as they were. Peter also behaved like a rascal as he tried to please Jolina, who always kept a stony face in front of him. She did not eat the things that Peter served him.Mia swept her eyes at everyone and could not help but sneer. "Some women like to play hard to get. If they really don't like men mollycoddling them, they shouldn't have come to the table in the first place." Mia did not mince he
At the end of the dinner, all the artists came to give Kisa a toast. Everyone was just so jazzed, and the atmosphere was so upbeat. Not wanting to kill their buzz, Kisa drank to them all, one glass after another. At first, Gilbert offered to drink on her behalf, but she still had a grudge against him and refused to accept his kindness. So, after many glasses of wine later, she was hammered just as expected.When she left the hotel, she insisted on Jensen driving her home. But Gilbert dragged her out of Jensen's car. She was pissed off and refused to take Gilbert's car. He finally had no choice but to bring her to stroll down the street.Kisa ended up hugging a tree trunk, wanting to throw up, but could not. She frowned, looking awful.Gilbert patted her on the back, trying to soothe her. "You should have let me drink on your behalf, not stubbornly insisting on drinking the toasts and ending up with a screwed-up body."Kisa pushed him away. "It's none of your business. Who are you,
"This was how I seduced you to sleep with me, pissed off your first love, and later hurt your grandma. You called the police to arrest me and made those prisoners beat me up."Even when Kisa was drunk, she still remembered these hatreds clearly. She put her hands on his shoulders, smiling sweetly and whispering, but her words stabbed into his heart like knives. She knew Gilbert knew she did not do those things back then, but she still wanted to mention it from time to time and even deliberately say that she did all those things just to taunt him. Now, she even went as far as kissing him to arouse his desire, and while he was on the verge of losing his self-control, she mentioned these things again to frustrate his fire of desire.Gilbert almost broke down because of that. He knew Kisa had always held a grudge, and those grudges and hatred were difficult to quench. But he never knew that her means of revenge against him were so ruthless. She was torturing him psychologically.He look
