Lea seemingly had already thought up an excuse as she calmly said, "I heard him calling someone and saying that by chance in the bar and learned about this."Gilbert looked at her with an inquisitive look in his eyes.He did not know much about Lea and only knew that she had been acting a little weird since Kerrona Hill.She was, however, still Kisa's best friend.Back when Kisa was terminally ill, it was Lea who took care of her.He pursed his lips and said, "Thank you for telling me this. Kisa has always been a person who is deeply invested in a relationship. You are her best friend, so I hope you don't do anything that would hurt her."Lea's heart tensed up when she heard that.A surge of guilt and remorse welled in her heart.She held her handbag strap tightly and nodded. "Understood. Kisa is equally important to me too."Gilbert did not say anything else and walked out.No matter how credible the news Lea had given him was, he needed to ascertain its veracity.If he cou
Gilbert's eyes narrowed as he immediately got into his car and followed behind.He clearly saw another person in Jensen's car on the co-driver's seat, and that person must be the warden.After Jensen's car exited the trail, it went directly into the main road.Gilbert immediately chased after him as two cars stood between him and Jensen.Gilbert was afraid to lose sight of Jensen again this time, so Gilbert kept a keen eye on Jensen's car.After a few traffic lights, Jensen's car suddenly turned into a deserted road.It was the road heading to the south of the city.The city's south side was undergoing development and was quite far out, so there were not too many cars there.When Gilbert's car made the turn, he drew a considerable distance between him and Jensen. As there were no cars between them, he could still keep an eye on Jensen's car.He could only do this. Otherwise, Jensen will surely notice him.If Jensen discovered he was tailing him and escaped with the warden, th
The car was about to hit the warning sign, and there was visibly lime sand inside the cordon.'With this speed, if we are to crash into it...'The warden's face turned pale as he roared at Jensen, "What the hell are you doing?! Brake, you fool! Brake!"Jensen's face, too, turned pale, and he suddenly thought of something as a grim smile appeared at the corners of his lips.'So that's how it is...'BAM!!The car finally hit the warning sign.The warden, for whatever reason, suddenly grabbed the steering wheel just as the car hit the warning sign.So the car instantly turned and slammed against the bridge railing.Amidst a loud crash, the car fell into the rushing river rapids.Gilbert immediately stopped the car.He ran out and leaned against the broken railing as he roared. "JEN... JENSEN!!!"He then immediately called the emergency hotline number.No one knew if he was too much in a rush or because he was too scared. His hands could not stop shaking.'How could this be h
This time, Carolyn was completely flabbergasted.'How did the normally gentle and charming Mr. Tanner become so gloomy and terrifying today?'Just as Carolyn was in a daze, the bodyguard immediately rushed in and pulled her out of the room.As he closed the door, the bodyguards said, "Miss Carolyn, please go back. Mr. Tanner is not feeling well today, so come again another day.""O-Oh... Alright."Carolyn felt like she was given a slap, her old face burning hot.But she could not afford to lose face before the bodyguard, so she grabbed her back, and puffed her chest up as she walked toward the club's hall.Sharon immediately ran over and smiled at her mother, "Mom, why aren't you spending more time with Mr. Tanner?""Oh, he's tired and is taking a rest.""It can't be. He was partying with us just earlier. He just said that he was going to take a call. How about I ask him?""Enough, come back here. Don't disturb him." Carolyn pulled her back.Anthony crossed his leg on the ta
"Gilbert was chasing after him when the accident happened to Jensen. Jensen may have been speeding, and there were many cars on the bridge, and there were ongoing repair works, so that's why it happened.""Apparently, there was another person in Jensen's car, a warden or something.""Gilbert seemed to be chasing after Jensen for that warden."Kisa covered her face in grief as she suddenly recalled what Gilbert had said to her."We must find the warden before Jensen does.""Can you tell me in advance if you find the warden?"HAH!'The reason that man is looking for the warden is that he wants to kill him.''And I told him all of the news about Jensen having found the warden.'This would not have happened if she had kept the news about finding the warden a secret.'I'm the one who caused this to befall Jensen, right?'The tears of grief and regret seeped through the lines between her fingers.She was extremely anguished.'How could he be so ruthless?''Jensen is Gilbert's c
Gilbert immediately hugged Kisa tightly.Exhaustion could be heard in his hoarse voice. "You're finally back."But the same voice sounded relieved as if he had once again found home while breathing a sigh of relief at the end.Kisa did not move and just allowed him to hug her.As Jolina had followed Kisa to Hillsby, she too had some knowledge of the 'horrible' things Gilbert had done.She looked worriedly at Kisa and then back at Peter, wondering if she should push Gilbert away.Peter pursed his lips as he dragged Jolina away into the aisle."Let's not get involved in their personal matters.""But...""Enough. Just let them talk."Gilbert kept on hugging Kisa. He was suddenly so relieved that all of his tensed nerves suddenly relaxed in an instant.He put his chin on her shoulder, his eyes tired, and within the exhaustion was a hint of wordless sorrow.Kisa's eyes were terribly hollow.She looked at the light on the ceiling in a daze, and after a while, asked coldly, "How'
"Listen to me. I had really nothing to do with that fire back then. Jensen told the warden to slander me. Ask him when he wakes up if you don't believe me.""That is enough!" Kisa flung his hand away in disgust, shaking her head in disbelief, her face filled with hatred and disappointment. "I can't believe that you still want to frame him after you have caused so much harm to him. Just how wicked are you?"'She says I'm wicked? How familiar! Just like how I used to say the same thing to her in the same tone of voice and expression. The chickens have come home to roost. It is a punishment handed down by God.'And no matter how badly they both argued, Mia still sat motionless in her chair, her hands staked on the seat clenched into fists, with traces of blood oozing out of them. Her body was tense, and she stared unblinkingly at the emergency room doors.The doors to the emergency room finally opened, and Mia immediately stood up. Perhaps she had sat for too long. Her legs were stiff
Mia spoke suddenly, her voice slow, deep, and even a little emotionless. "The broken glass pierced him. When he was brought here, he was badly wounded and covered in blood."Kisa, whose face was pale, was staggering in her steps. 'How much pain did he endure, with so many wounds on his body?' she asked in her mind.Mia tilted her head and took a breath, murmuring, "The doctor says he's not looking good."Kisa pursed her lips, guilt weighing her down.'Jensen is injured because of me; it was all because of me. I hate myself—hating myself for being so easily gullible to Gilbert's lies and falling into his honey trap. I could do nothing to atone for my sin if Jensen couldn't make it.'She gritted her teeth as her hatred for Gilbert grew stronger. She told herself that she would make that ruthless man pay for what he had done, no matter what."You were the one who told Gilbert about finding the warden, weren't you?" Mia suddenly asked Kisa, not like a question, but more like sarcasm
