Suddenly, Gilbert lifted the edge of his mouth at Madalyn.The smile looked cold and a little contemptuous. "Grandma, why is it necessary for you to think that I got back together with Kisa just because I still love her, or I'm devoted to her?"Kelvin paused and stared at Gilbert.'What is he talking about?'Madalyn was also shocked but she refused to believe him.Then, she snapped. "Don't even try. Did you really think that I'd believe you? How stupid do you think I am? Why don't you try something new instead?"Kelvin was speechless.'She's right. I can't even find myself to believe in what he said now, let alone his grandma.'However, Gilbert smiled again, looking very unpredictable.He leaned toward the window and said unconcernedly at Madalyn, "Do you know why I wouldn't leave her alone and why I treat her so well these days?"Madalyn did not answer his rhetorical question.Kelvin ignored him too.Then, Gilbert continued speaking as he chuckled softly, "That's because I
Madalyn looked at Gilbert, wide-eyed in shock.Kelvin thought that he was lying, but he did not say anything."Finding the guards in Hillsby was just a part of my plan. I bribed them before bringing Kisa there. I even hired some killers and set up some traps along the way just to make her trust me."Otherwise, do you really think that I and her would make it out alive if the killers were real? Hmph. They were only some actors I hired to fool her."Kisa felt very cold as she stood outside.The ran through every part of her body as she shivered.Madalyn looked at Gilbert suspiciously.She furrowed her brows and asked, "There's something I don't understand. Didn't you already know that she set you up, but didn't hurt me? Why would you still do this to her? That's so unnecessary.""I only sent her to prison back then because I thought she was the one who did all the bad things, and I hated her so much for it. However, I came up with another way to get back at her after knowing that
Madalyn was shocked as she shifted her gaze to Gilbert subconsciously.Kelvin's jaw dropped in surprise. Then, he glanced at Gilbert worriedly.However, Gilbert was still looking as emotionless as before, and none of them were expecting that from him.Gilbert stared in her direction.The sound of the door opening could be heard in the quiet room.Kisa walked inside slowly, drenched with rainwater.She was a skinny person, but with her thin clothes stuck to her skin because of the rain, she looked even more fragile and tiny.It seemed as if a gust of wind would blow her away.Her face was so pale, that it looked like a piece of paper. There was a wound on her forehead, and it was still bleeding.The blood streamed down from her forehead to both sides of her eyebrows, and to her cheeks. It made her look like she was crying blood out of her bloodshot eyes. It was a little terrifying to look at.Kelvin was shocked as he took a few steps forward."Kisa, why are you here? Your wou
"What do you want to hear from me?"He chuckled and asked Kisa, sounding very sarcastic.Kisa's body was stiff as she stood upright.She looked at Gilbert without saying anything. She curled her fingers tightly, and there was blood dripping slowly from her clenched fists.Gilbert swept his gaze across her before he looked back at the cigarette between his fingers.He breathed out a swirl of smoke before saying unconcernedly, "I can say whatever you want to hear. Including... the world's sweetest love talk and sweet nothings."His deep voice still sounded very pleasant, but his tone was filled with sarcasm and mockery.Kira's heart hurt so much, that she struggled to breathe. However, she started laughing."So, have you been faking all this while when you said all those sweet words to me?""Heh, heh!" Gilbert chuckled scornfully. "You're an actress. How could you not tell what's real and what's not?"Kisa tried her very best to smile. There were tears in her eyes, but she kept
There would be drops of blood dripping down the floor from her fists with every step she took.Gilbert gazed at her skinny back deeply, looking like he was restraining himself from doing something.When Kisa walked closer to the door, her body shook, and she fell to the floor right in front the door frame, as if her body had shut itself down.She seemed to be in a lot of pain as she lay there without moving at all.Gilbert shifted his gaze away from him and said to George flatly, "Would you help Ms. Becker up? Don't let her pass out here. Otherwise, Jensen is going to stir things up again."Kisa chuckled creepily. Then, she gritted her teeth, got up, and continued walking.Kelvin could not bear to look at that anymore.Then, he said to Gilbert, "I'll check on her."Kelvin ran after Kisa after he said that.The room was finally quiet again.Gilbert turned around and sat beside Madalyn. After looking at how the food was left untouched on the bedstand, he could not help but ask
After patting around his body for a while, Gilbert still could not find anything.He frowned deeply and suddenly remembered leaving his phone in the car.He stood up abruptly and stumbled outside.The woman's blood was still stained on the door frame.The sight of it hurt his eyes and made him feel suffocated, so he did not dare to look at it.'All I hope is that Kisa can understand my actions earlier on and realize that I was merely putting on a show. Otherwise... Otherwise...' Gilbert did not dare to think further.He continued striding down the stairs.Kelvin was leaning against the door while smoking. When he saw Gilbert, he quickly stopped him."Gilbert, what you said to Kisa earlier on...""Where's she?"Gilbert asked abruptly in a tense voice.Kelvin pursed his lips, "She left long ago. I couldn't stop her."Hearing this, Gilbert's heart instantly sank further.'If Kisa had realized that I was putting on a show earlier, she wouldn't have left without a second though
Gilbert did not see Kisa on the road, so he immediately went to her place.The moment he opened the door, the dead silence in the house made him panic.He quickly walked and checked every room before even changing out of his shoes.Every room was empty, even the kitchen and toilet.'She didn't come home. But it's pouring outside, so where else would she go? There are various exquisite-looking dishes on the table. It's a birthday today, so I can tell she put a lot of effort into preparing this meal. Some of the dishes are food that she likes, and there's also food that I like,' thought Gilbert.He quietly stared at the untouched dishes on the table and felt tears well up in his eyes.'If only these accidents didn't happen. Right now, I should be spending her birthday with her in this cozy house. I'd be telling her surprises and seeing the happy expression,' he thought.It was almost as if Gilbert could see the warm and cozy scenarios he had pictured in his head in front of his ey
Gilbert froze as the color immediately drained from his face.He shook his head, "No. It wasn't me.""Nobody knows the entire truth behind the fire that happened. However, the prison guard did tell her that you're the mastermind behind the fire. Kisa obviously didn't believe him, so she went to look for you, didn't she?" Jensen said indifferently.His cool, calm gaze met with Gilbert's dark, bloodshot eyes.Then, Jensen continued slowly, "She said... Unless you admitted it yourself, she'd never believe it."Gilbert paled further.Suddenly, his tall, muscular frame seemed frail, and he was about to topple over.'Unless you admit it yourself, otherwise she'd never believe it. But I said yes when she asked me the question just now. I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't admit it on purpose. If I had known that this would happen, I would never have said so. What do I do now?' Gilbert thought.The man that was always calm and arrogant now had a pale and panicked expression.Jensen gla
