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
Carolyn saw this and was delighted. She sneered at Kisa, "Do you really think there will be no one here in the suburbs, and you can do whatever you want?" She then called out to the two people, "Come and see, the celebrity Kisa brought a group of men to bully my daughter."When Kisa saw the faces of the two people, a sneer flashed across her face. And Sharon's face turned pale.It was Jolina and Peter. Carolyn was transfixed for a moment and felt that the man looked very familiar. She tugged at his arm without giving it a second thought. "Please help my daughter," Carolyn said, pointing at Kisa, cursing, "That woman is trying to hurt my daughter, thinking that no one can see it in the suburb—"Before Carolyn could finish, Peter yanked her hand away in disgust and stepped aside. If Jolina had not asked him to testify against Sharon, he would not have bothered to come and watch these clowns perform. 'Argh, this is really boring!' he groused in his mind.When Jolina walked silently to
Kisa looked at the bodyguards. "You guys drag her to the bushes so it won't dirty everyone's eyes with that scene. Ahh," Something suddenly came to mind, and the corners of her lips hooked up in a ruthless smile, "remember to take pictures.""No! Kisa, you viperous b*tch! I hope you will die a horrible death! Let go of me! Let go of me!" Sharon hissed and screamed hysterically.Carolyn was so mad she was about to lunge at Kisa to hit her. "You b*tch, how dare you do this to Sharon! B*tch!"Christopher quickly pulled her back and pleaded with Kisa. "Don't do this. We are family. Don't make things too ugly.""Heh!" Kisa looked at them with cold eyes. "You care so much about your daughter, huh? Am I not someone else's daughter, then? When you conspired with her to harm me, did you ever think my mother would be sad and hurt, too? You can brazenly hurt and bully me just because my mother is no longer here?" Kisa smiled with tears in her eyes.Peter looked at her quietly, and it hurt hi
When Kisa gradually lifted her gaze, she saw Adrien trudging toward her with a cigarette in his hand.Meanwhile, Carolyn looked at Adrien as if he were her savior.She broke free from the grasp of the bodyguards and ran up to Adrien. Then, she grabbed his arm while saying in panic, "Please save my daughter, Mr. Tanner. I'm begging you; please save her..."Sharon was screaming at the top of her lungs in the bushes; her piercing scream sounded terrifying since they were in a parkland.Adrien scanned the area with a smile before turning to Kisa, "What's happening here?"Kisa merely sneered and did not respond.Peter had his hands in his pockets."Last night, Sharon knocked Kisa out. She intended to get some men to force themselves onto Kisa, but I saved her. What do you know? Today, Sharon got what she was coming to her.""Don't listen to him, Mr. Tanner! My daughter is innocent! Sharon is one of the kindest people, so please hurry and save her."Carolyn quickly cut in and shook
"Let me tell you something. Think of today as a lesson and stop trying to cause harm to me, because... you're no match for me.""You!" Sharon was furious.She wanted to cuss at Kisa. However, she was in pain from the grip on her chin, so she could not throw a deathly glare at her.Kisa chuckled, "This time, I'll let you go for Mr. Tanner's sake. Besides, I've recently been investigating the true perpetrator behind the fire. If I learn that you had something to do with the fire, then... Even God won't be able to save you."Kisa said with a cold and ruthless expression.For a moment, Sharon was speechless and stared at Kisa with a stunned expression.She seemed as if she was genuinely frightened.Kisa sneered as she flung her aside. Then, she led the bodyguards away.Meanwhile, Peter had seen enough of the drama and dragged Jolina away.Soon after everyone left, Carolyn eagerly went into the bushes. She hugged a disheveled-looking Sharon while cursing, "That wench! How dare she
Carolyn and Sharon ignored him. Instead, they walked straight toward Adrien.Carolyn gazed at Adrien with a hint of admiration in her eyes.Even her tone toward Adrien was also significantly gentler."Sorry about airing our family's dirty laundry in front of you, Mr. Tanner.""Don't worry about it."Adrien smiled considerately and continued, "Every family has their own problems; I understand."Carolyn looked at him in admiration, "You're such a considerate gentleman, Mr. Tanner. Your wife is a very lucky person."Adrien shook his head sadly."Unfortunately, my wife passed on long ago. I don't have any children, so I'm envious of how lively your family is."However, Carolyn did not hear the second half of his sentence. All she could hear was the part where he said "my wife passed on long ago."She felt a hint of glee. Regardless, she kept a calm demeanor, "That truly is unfortunate. A good man like you is worthy of the best woman in the world.""Ha-ha, that's very kind of you
Gilbert had deleted his call and chat history with Kisa long ago. However, he was worried that Kisa had sent him new messages today.'If grandma sees them, my efforts from the past few will go to waste,' he thought.Madalyn's expression remained unchanged.Seeing him not accept the phone, Madalyn could not help but laugh, "What's the matter? You're angry that your grandmother went through your phone?""No," Gilbert accepted the phone. He smiled and asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in my phone?""Well, I went to your room to check on you, and your phone rang. I was worried it would wake you up, so I took it outside."Gilbert frowned slightly and felt a little panicked.'My phone rang? Who was the call from? Kisa? But judging from grandma's calm expression, it shouldn't be Kisa. Otherwise, grandma would've quarreled with me,' he thought.Madalyn pulled Gilbert onto the couch before asking the maids to bring out the food.After Gilbert sat on the couch, he did not check hi
