Kisa turned to look at Gilbert. He stared at her thin face with a sneer and said each word clearly, "Howard Mullen will be ruined by me.""What do you mean?" Kisa frowned and asked."He's involved in the news event anyway. You know what will happen by playing up with the name of GK CEO's wife, right?""It's not his fault! We haven't even figured it out."Gilbert suddenly turned aggressive when he saw her worried. "No matter what, he has to take the blame for it!""Gilbert...""Get out!"Kisa turned away after she looked at him resentfully. A glass was thrown out and shattered beside her legs after she stepped out. She was stunned for a while. Then she returned quickly to her room.'Gilbert is an emotional maniac. I have taken care of him anyway. Why does he have to get irritated? Is my contract with Davian Park still in effect?'Kisa went to Gilbert's room with a plate of pasta the next morning. There was not only egg in the pasta but also bacon. Yet she was kicked out by Gilb
Kisa opened the door and saw Davian standing outside."It is time for the press conference, Ma'am.""How about Gilbert?" She asked.In response, he said, "Mr. Kooper is waiting for you downstairs."'That's early,' Kisa thought in shock.As she walked down the stairs, she could not help but ask, "Our deal is still on, right? I did my part, but he didn't want me to take care of him.""Understood, Ma'am. The deal is still on," Davian replied.Upon hearing this, Kisa relaxed. Davian could only look at her with guilt and sympathy. Confused, Kisa wanted to ask more. However, they had already reached the front yard. She saw Gilbert smoking a cigarette while leaning on the front of the car.'Why is he smoking when he just recovered?' she thought.She wanted to say something to Gilbert, but no words would come out. She knew that Gilbert would insult and humiliate her if she spoke."Mrs. Kooper is here, sir," Davian said.Gilbert put out his cigarette and replied coldly, "There isn't
Anthony's sinister smile froze. 'What happened? Didn't Sharon say Gilbert would admit in front of the press that the woman was the wife of GK's CEO? How come he suddenly denied it?'The moment Gilbert said that, a commotion started at the scene. After everyone had finally quieted down, someone asked another question."What proof does Mr. Kooper have that she isn't your wife?""Do I need to prove it?" Gilbert looked at the reporter under the stage and chuckled. "Don't I recognize my wife?" He was clearly smiling, but the icy look in his eyes made the reporter not dare to question him anymore.After a moment of silence, someone else asked a question."There is a rumor that Miss Watson and Howard are paid and the entire thing is staged because you want to promote GK Pictures and its drama. How do you explain that, Mr. Kooper?"Gilbert laughed and said casually, "Do you think with the strength of GK Pictures, there is a need to use this kind of dirty tricks to hype my company and the
"A maid in my family wanted to be a star, so she pretended to be my wife. The reason is so simple. Can't you all figure it out?"What Gilbert said caused an uproar again.Kisa still clutched the corner of her coat and stared at him incredulously, her scarlet eyes welling up. In her teary eyes, she saw the side of the man's cold, heartless face. 'He is putting all the blame on me and letting the media grill and shame me, isn't he?'"Miss Watson, is what Mr. Kooper said true?""If what Mr. Kooper said is true, then what is Howard's relationship with you?""Do you want to hype Howard up besides yourself by staging such a show?""Or is it that Howard and you are working together and staging this act with the purpose of hyping each other up?""Miss Watson, may I ask if Howard and you are having an affair? You impersonated Mrs. Kooper to hype Howard up, didn't you?"...The reporters down the stage, one by one, aggressively hurled questions at her. Kisa felt her head buzzing and alm
Kisa suddenly stood up. Following that, camera flashlights were bursting as Kisa spoke in a soft voice, "I did everything. I didn't want to say being a maid and an assistant. When I discovered by chance that I resembled Mrs. Kooper, I came up with the plan of impersonating her to hype myself up.""Then Howard and you—""I have nothing to do with Howard. It was pure coincidence that the media photographed him. I deliberately asked the media to come up with a headline like that to attract attention and exaggerate the hype, and dragged Howard into this. He is a victim, too."Gilbert, who stared at her with cold eyes, suddenly smiled, as Kisa calmly faced the reporters under the stage."I did everything myself. I got Howard into this and rode on Mr. Kooper's and GK Pictures's reputation just to hype myself up. So you all can now stop the witch hunt. This is the truth."'Gilbert was already going to let me take the blame, anyway. As soon as he said that, the media had decided that I wa
Kisa looked up subconsciously. When she found it was Anthony and Sharon, the sadness and fragility on her face instantly dissipated and were replaced by a touch of iciness. She stood up and stared with cold eyes at the man and woman, knowing that Anthony would take revenge on her for what happened in Athadale, but she did not expect Sharon to collude with him.Sharon was as smug as if she had won a battle. "I thought Gilbert had held this press conference to clear you of suspicion. But what a surprise that he let you take the blame. That is funny."Kisa was silent, and Sharon laughed even more triumphantly."Tsk, Kisa, I really pity you, but had Gilbert still had some feelings for you, he would not have done this to you. Look, he is so cruel to you, just leave you here alone to face those reporters' scolding. If I were you, I would be really sad. In fact, all he had to do was admit that you were the wife of GK Pictures's CEO, and you would have been fine. Unfortunately, you are noth
The man said, throwing her off. "B*tch, I will let you live today, but there will be more to come."Kisa rolled on the ground, too sore to move. Suddenly, she felt a touch of iciness on her face; apparently, it was snowing again. She stared blankly at the gray sky, feeling like her life was just as gray, without a trace of light. Kisa was so tired, completely exhausted.She wished she could sleep and wake up as a child again—living with her mother, never meeting Gilbert, without so much grief and despair. She thought how nice it would be if she was asleep, as she did not have to care about anything as pain and aggrievement would be gone. 'So go to sleep, just sleep it off, and I won't have to suffer so much pain.''No!' She opened her eyes and laughed out loud as she gouged the ground with her hands. 'The bad guys haven't been punished yet, and the man hasn't kneeled before me in remorse. So how can I resign myself to life? It is just a life, and I will fight even if I have to give
Gilbert dragged her wizened body into the study and grabbed her by the collar. "So what did Howard give you, or did he treat you well in bed, so well that you are so devoted to him that you will protect him, even if you have to take all the blame?" He did not mince his words in humiliating her.Kisa suddenly burst out laughing. "Gilbert, it was you who pushed me out first, and who are you to question me here?" If Gilbert had not pushed her out first, she would not have come forward to admit it. In her eyes, it was he who forced her hand, and now he was questioning her. "Stop blaming me for that. I dare you to say that even if I hadn't pushed you out, you wouldn't have risked your and even GK Pictures's reputation to defend him?" Gilbert gritted his teeth as if Kisa had betrayed him.She looked at the raging man and laughed like crazy, so hard that even tears were flowing out of her eyes. "In your eyes, everything I do is wrong. It is wrong for me not to take the blame, and it is al
