Madalyn immediately frowned; a look of confusion was on her aging face."Second act in love? What do you mean?"Davian leaned in with a mysterious expression, "Mr. Kooper got a call from some woman today, and he was beaming. After that, he took off in a hurry to see her.""Who's the woman? Is it Kisa Becker?" Madalyn asked dubiously.'Only Kisa Becker can tug on Gilbert's heartstrings in this world. Even though I don't want to admit this, it is the truth. But judging from Gilbert and Kisa's current relationship, it also seems unlikely,' she thought.Davian echoed her thoughts, "It's definitely not Ms. Becker. She still hates Mr. Kooper, so she couldn't possibly get back together with him."After hearing Davian's words, Madalyn immediately snorted icily."Hate? Who is she to hate Gilbert? She can't atone for her sins even if she paid Gilbert back with her own life."Davian was speechless.'Here we go again! I shouldn't have brought this up,' he thought.Just as he was about to
Gilbert cooked quite several dishes, most of them being Kisa's favorites.After placing the dishes on the table one by one, he smiled and said warmly, "Come on. Let's eat."Kisa walked over with the contract."What's this?" Gilbert asked curiously after seeing the contract in her hand,Kisa pulled him into a chair and handed him the contract, "This is the contract from when I transferred the equity of J & K Film Group to Jensen. After giving it some thought, I decided to transfer the company's equity to you."Gilbert frowned."To me?""Mhm. I want J & K Film Group to merge into GK Pictures."Kisa continued earnestly, "You started GK Pictures singlehandedly. With Jensen's current state, I don't have the confidence to manage our company. I'd rather the company gets merged under GK Pictures rather than letting other companies take advantage of it. At the very least, other companies won't be able to dissolve J & K Film Group when it's under GK Pictures. Besides, this will also expa
"Ah!" Kisa shrieked.She quickly put her arms around his neck, "What... What're you doing?""Didn't I say we're continuing our unfinished business?"The man smirked and carried her to the bedroom.Gilbert closed the heavy curtains, and they were isolated from the hustling and bustling world outside.Their tiny bedroom became a space for them to have a good time.Clothes were scattered on the floor as the soft, large bed shook.Every time they did this, Kisa would think to herself, 'This man must be really interested in my body. Otherwise, why'd he always ask for it like he's gone mad? I'm only now understanding that he can do such things even though he doesn't love me; he's purely interested in my body, and that's why he's so engrossed in it.To him, this is probably what slightly sets me apart from other women, only slightly. However, me being 'special' to him has nothing to do with love. For instance, we've known each other since childhood, so this is what makes me special to
"You should eat more... Your small frame can't handle me..."The man's sentence was drowned out by the whirring sounds.Kisa lowered her gaze and twitched the corner of her lips self-mockingly.'I'm being intimate and sleeping with him with an ulterior motive, yet my body still reacts to his gentle actions. Isn't this very absurd, ironic... and sad?' she thought.The whirring of the hairdryer stopped abruptly. Gilbert stroked her long, silky hair and chuckled, "Alright. It's dry.""Thank you."Kisa smiled and looked up at him. There was an inexplicable hint of sadness in her tone.She continued, "You're being so nice to me right now. Will there come a day when you get bored of me and hate me again and say heartless things to me like you did that night?""Of course not!"Gilbert replied in a panic and pulled her into his embrace."I said before that I won't push you away again, no matter what happens in the future. Unless... Unless you betray me or stop loving me."Kisa's hea
"There's nothing to explain. We'll just tell them that we're husband and wife and we've made up."'Husband and wife? Wouldn't that be telling the media that we never got divorced and that we've always been husband and wife?' wondered Kisa."Then you should also tell the media about J & K Film Group merging into GK Films. I'll finish transferring the equity tomorrow.""...Alright."'I'll think of it as taking care of J & K Film Group for Jensen. Once he regains consciousness, I'll return the company to him,' thought Gilbert...."Latest entertainment news. Yesterday, the CEO of GK Pictures, Gilbert Kooper, was photographed grocery shopping with the CEO of J & K Film Group, Kisa Becker. The two were intimate with each other and are suspected of having plans to remarry. The two clarified to the media today that they never divorced and had always been husband and wife. Kisa Becker also stated that J & K Film Group was to be merged into GK Films. Netizens are buzzing..."Madalyn star
"Is it for revenge? You'll all have to wait and see."Adrien gazed at the woman's smile on the screen with a meaningful look.Jensen was in this state because he had been hurt by Gilbert. How could she possibly still be with Jensen?All this was just the prelude to that woman's revenge. Adrien could see through it but did not speak out about it.Anthony frustratingly pulled at his tie and spoke to Adrien, "Mr. Tanner, it's not my place to criticize you, but after working together for so long. I have also done so much for you. Yet you look at Gilbert; what losses did he suffer? He is still living his high life as usual and even got his beloved woman back. I don't care. I must see Gilbert disgraced in his reputation in ruins.I want to watch the consequences of GK Pictures' fall. If not, how can I still have the dignity to go back and see my father? How can I still be confident and redeem myself as a member of the Mullen family?"Adrien chuckled nonchalantly at him, "Don't worry ab
Emila Becker...It really had been so long since he had heard of this name."Don't you dare mention her in front of me!" Christopher flung Carolyn's arm with a swing. Carolyn's face was red from the anger, "You're never at home every day. Have you already forgotten exactly whose woman you are, huh?"Christopher spoke on as he gave Adrien a glance angrily. Adrien smoked his cigarette lazily. When Christopher looked over at him, he even flashed a mocking smile back at Christopher. It seemed like a provocation.This smile further triggered Christopher, yet he had no guts to challenge this man. He only pulled hard at Carolyn's hands, trying to drag her outside, "Let's go, come home with me right now!""What are you doing?" Let go of me. Mr. Becker, you wuss. Let go of me. I haven't had enough fun. Let go!" Carolyn struggled with all her might.However, just as she broke free from Christopher's hand, Christopher suddenly gave her a backhanded slap. The clear sound of the slap swiftly
Just when Carolyn was cursing enthusiastically, the sound of glass cracking suddenly went off. Shockingly, Adrien had crushed the wine glass with his bare hands. Carolyn's expression changed drastically. She immediately grabbed his still-bleeding hand and said anxiously, "Ah, Mr. Tanner! What happened to you? Why are you so clumsy?"Saying this, she hurriedly let the bodyguards fetch the first aid kit. Adrien, with a cold glare, stared at her but, with a smile on his face, said, "It's fine. I merely just felt a little furious.""Furious?" Carolyn looked at him, puzzled, "What are you furious for?"Adrien suddenly, with soft movements, caressed her shoulder and said, "You were clearly so nice. Back then, Christopher had gone beyond his league in pursuing you. How could he treat you like this?"Carolyn's face was red from his praises. The anger in her heart was immediately swept away and replaced with a glint of a secret delight. Anthony watched Adrien's movements thoughtfully. A gli
