"Give it a try," Adrien said.Kisa pretended to hesitate for a moment before reluctantly agreeing. But inside, she was thrilled. Finally, she would not have to put on an act of indifference toward Gilbert in front of Adrien anymore.Meanwhile, in the study, Gilbert sat in front of the surveillance monitor, lips curled in a contemptuous sneer. He tilted his head back and took a long swig of the wine, his cold, crimson eyes narrowing in disdain. 'Feigning concern for me? She is a born actress, and her charade is executed with precision. If I hasn't installed the surveillance, I would have been fooled again. Why does she enjoy manipulating people so much? Which of her words are even genuine?'Later that evening, Kisa sat in her room, her dinner served on a tray by the diligent servant. She asked about Gilbert, but the servant reported that he was in the study, and his dinner had been brought to him. Kisa had considered seeing and talking to him, but her fear of his wrath held her back.

However, her struggling and retching only made Gilbert narrow his eyes with a cold gaze. He suddenly pushed her away and shouted at her, "If you're disgusted by me, why bother pretending to care about me? Why bother trying to please me? Get out, just get out!"He was clearly drunk and seemed to have forgotten about the baby in her womb. His push was powerful, and the bathroom floor was slippery. Kisa stumbled several steps but managed to grab onto the nearby sink to prevent herself from falling. She looked at Gilbert in horror, only to see him standing there with one hand on his hip, the other against the wall, exuding a terrifying aura. His arm was still bleeding, and the injured flesh had turned white from being soaked in water, a gruesome sight to behold.Despite everything, Kisa was still concerned about his well-being. She took a deep breath and cautiously approached him. From behind, she wrapped her arms around him, holding him carefully and tentatively. Gilbert did not push he

"I came here just to ask you, why did you suddenly have the intention to kill me?" Kisa dared not mention Adrien. She was afraid that Christopher would tell Adrien, and then Adrien would know that she was suspecting him. All the disguise and deceit she had done so far would be in vain.Christopher did not answer. He hung his head low, as if thinking."I know you hate me, but now you have nothing. You can't beat me. We have no grievances or enmity, and I don't want to make things difficult for you. I'll give you some money. Tomorrow, leave here by boat and don't interfere with Carolyn and my life anymore. Also, it's best not to mention me in front of Kisa. Otherwise, I can't guarantee the safety of your darling Sharon." Adrien's words echoed in his ears.Adrien had spoken in a low and friendly tone, but Christopher was not a fool. He understood the subtle warning clearly.His attempt to kill Kisa had just been a momentary impulse of anger. He resented her for being ungrateful and te

Kisa stared at Madalyn in disbelief. "You used to like me too. I just can't wrap my head around why you're treating me like this."Madalyn sneered, "If you can't figure it out, then don't bother trying. Just remember to stay away from my grandson and stop causing him any more trouble.""I don't understand what I've done wrong."Madalyn's face darkened. "You have no right to know. Just be smart and have the child, then get out of here!" With that, she stormed into the house, leaving Kisa standing alone in the yard.After settling Adrien's affairs, Kisa realized she still had to find a way to break down Madalyn's walls. 'But what is Madalyn hiding? And why is she so guarded about the past?'Gilbert was truly heartless. He had not shown his face to her for a whole week. Madalyn blamed Kisa for driving him away, so Kisa kept things to herself, staying in her room and avoiding any unnecessary confrontation.Christopher's fate hung in the balance as he remained locked up in the detenti

Carolyn's eyes brightened as she heard Adrien's words. "Wait, did I hear that right?" she asked.Adrien chuckled, his smile looking a little too forced. "If you don't want me to contact her, then we'll drop the matter. We already have The Case Group, and my family's business is more than enough to support you and Sharon. We don't need the Kooper family's GK."Carolyn's tone turned urgent. "What are you talking about? GK is a big deal in the media industry. The Case Group doesn't even come close to it. Adrien, did you mean what you just said? If you can really get GK, then I won't interfere with you contacting that little... girl."Adrien's lips curled in amusement. "Don't worry. Everything is under my control. Just wait for me to give you GK as a dowry."Carolyn's face lit up with a smile, and she looked like a young woman again, full of happiness and excitement, which did not quite match her age. But she did not notice the sneer and coldness in Adrien's eyes.After a few more day
