Once out of the karaoke bar, the cool breeze sobered Kisa up quite a bit. After all, she had not drunk too much and had rested in the box for quite a while earlier, so she was pretty sober now. Just that her head still hurt. She took out a wet tissue, wiped her face, and then walked to the curb to wait for a taxi. There was always a supply of taxis in front of the karaoke bar. But she was unlucky today, as several taxis had just left when she came out. So she had to wait again."Hey, hottie." Someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder in a frivolous manner.Kisa frowned as a wave of disgust flushed through her. She moved a few steps away and turned around, only to see a gangster-like guy smiling at her with lewd eyes."Hottie, are you waiting for a taxi? Where are you going? How about a ride from me?"Wearing a hat and a mask, Kisa ignored the guy and just looked down the street again. Only this time, there were still no taxis coming. Worried about what the guy might do to her, sh
Jolina looked at the license plate number and was delighted. But she also had a bit of mixed emotions.Wearing a black trench coat, Peter exuded a distinctive aura as he stepped out of the car. When those guys saw him, they cowered. They looked at Sharon, whose face had gone pale. Sharon knew Peter was not to be messed with and that Jolina and Peter were somehow related. Peter swept his eyes over Kisa on the ground, and then his gaze stopped on Jolina, who was apprehended by those guys, who pressed her down with their hands on her shoulders.Peter narrowed his eyes threateningly and sneered as he looked over at Sharon. "What are you doing here? How dare you touch my woman! You must have a death wish."Sharon, also an arrogant person, was not impressed. She swayed her hips and smiled as she walked up to Peter. "Come on. I didn't know she was your woman. Besides, didn't you two have a fight on the set last time? So I thought she had offended you, and I was about to teach her a lesson,
Peter dragged her toward the car without a word."Don't you touch me!" Jolina used all her strength to break away from him."Heh!" Peter let out a sardonic laughter. "You don't want me to touch you? Do you want those men to touch you?" As Jolina grimaced and ignored him, Peter lost his patience. "Let's go. Aren't you afraid those guys will return?"Jolina looked at Kisa, who was still unconscious. Worrying about Kisa, she looked at Peter and pleaded with him for the first time. "Then please drive Ms. Becker home."Peter frowned in displeasure. "Why should I? I don't give a shit about her. Come on. You are coming back with me." He tugged her hand.Jolina avoided it and said with a stony face, "Since you won't help her, I will stay with her and wait for a taxi.""You!" Peter was so furious that he ripped the buttons off his shirt under his trench coat. "I don't even f*cking know where she stays. How do you want me to drive her back to her home?"Jolina froze, as she did not know w
Gilbert asked him anxiously.The director was transfixed for a long while before he said, though still sounding drunk, "Kisa... Hasn't Kisa gone home?""She has gone home?""Yeah, she just told us she was tired and wanted to go home and rest. I watched her walk out."Gilbert's face changed. 'If Kisa has gone home on her own, why have I waited at home for so long without seeing her return? Or did she go home just when I came out to look for her?' Thinking of this, he hurriedly left the karaoke bar. It was late, and there were very few cars on the road, so Gilbert pushed the car to its limit and hoped that Kisa had really arrived home safely.He soon arrived at Kisa's place. When he opened the door, there was still no one in the house, and the chicken gnocchi soup he had brought with him was still resting on the coffee table. Obviously, Kisa had not returned. Gilbert leaned against the door, feeling a little exhausted. According to the time the director said, Kisa should have arrive
It was Kisa's name that showed up on the screen. Gilbert picked up the phone and answered it with no hesitation."Hello, Gilbert?"When Kisa's voice came into his ears, he suddenly closed his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, all the worry, tension, and fear transformed into unspeakable anger. He gasped lightly, his chest heaving."Gilbert?" Kisa called out again when she did not get a response.Gilbert clutched his phone and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you?""Oh, I had an incident on the road last night, and then Jolina saved me, and then I spent the night at Jolina's place.""Then why didn't you return my messages last night? Why didn't you answer my phone calls? Did you know last night I was... I was..." Gilbert yelled furiously, and at the end, he put a hand to his forehead, feeling powerless.Kisa felt Gilbert was angry when he suddenly stopped speaking. So she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I did not mean not to answer your phone, nor did I mean not to r
The house was filled with the smell of cigarette smoke. Her heart skipped a beat, wondering if Gilbert had been here or was here at this moment. Thinking of this, she could not wait to check the rooms without changing her shoes. But there was no one there. Not giving up, she went to the bathroom—there was still no sign of Gilbert. So she thought he must have left.Kisa was disappointed and dropped onto the couch, staring blankly at the coffee table. She suddenly frowned and hurriedly sat up as she saw the ashtray on the coffee table full of cigarette butts. She remembered she had cleaned the ashtray, and Gilbert had not come over in the past few days, so it had always been clean. But now, it was filled to the brim, and two cigarette butts were still burning and billowing white smoke. So she knew Gilbert must have stayed here last night and just left—he must have waited for her for a long time.She hurriedly took out her phone and wanted to call him. But just as she was about to do th
Christopher probably lost his patience as he had tried to leave several times, but Carolyn forced him to stay.During the break, Kisa looked at Christopher quietly. She no longer had any affection for her father. Her dearest and most beloved person was her mother. Probably because of guilt, Christopher was afraid to look her in the eyes. Kisa sneered, feeling sad to see their relationship come to such a pass."I have just asked you to come to visit Sharon today. She will be off work in a few minutes. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Carolyn scolded Christopher in anger."I really have urgent business. Besides, I am already here, and it is meaningless to keep waiting.""Heh, don't lie to me. I know there has not been much going on at the office lately. And even if there is, it is not as important as Sharon, okay?""All right, all right. I'm not leaving. Please stop arguing and making a scene here, lest people would laugh at us.""Heh, who dares to laugh at us but that b*star
"Kisa," Christopher faked a smile with even a bit of humility in his attitude, "what is going on here? Why did you have Sharon held up?""Dad, help me. This b*tch just can't stand to see me getting successful. Help me, Dad!" Sharon pleaded for his help.Instead of looking at Sharon, Christopher tried to please Kisa. "Tell me your grievances, Kisa. Don't do this, or it will harm the family harmony."'Family?' Kisa snickered. 'When I was down and out, this man never recognized me as the Case family's daughter and even joined Carolyn in attacking me. Now that I'm rich, he is shamelessly talking about family.' Kisa sat on a chair and looked indifferently at the family of three, which she wanted to have nothing to do with now. She sneered at Christopher. "Why don't you ask Sharon what she did to me last night?"Christopher looked at Sharon, and Sharon hung her head sheepishly and said, "I did nothing to her. She is just making things up.""Absolutely. Don't you even trust your own daug
