As the door was pushed open, a choking smell of smoke hit her nostrils, causing her to cough violently.Ariella shot her an angry look and then timidly walked inside. Kisa was used to the way Ariella treated her. Compared to Ariella's cowering, she was much calmer. She took a quick glance at the room upon entering.The room was large, with many men and women inside. The women were dressed up in fashionable and flamboyant dresses. They should all be actresses like Ariella. The men, on the other hand, all looked like dudes. One of the outstanding-looking men sitting in the middle, languid with a cigarette in his mouth, was half-squinting his eyes to size up Ariella. He had a playful smile on his face, which was unnerving to look at.Recalling the information she had just found on the Internet, Kisa figured this guy should be Anthony Mullen, the only son of the Mullen family, a shrewd businessman and a subject of gossip. But rumor had it that he had some eccentricities and was vindicti

As Kisa dodged in fear, a deep, familiar voice suddenly sounded, causing her heart to shudder. The voice sounded like Gilbert's. She hurriedly looked in the voice's direction and saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the dark corner. 'He is really in the room.'Not only Kisa but almost everyone else in the room was wide-eyed to see Gilbert. Anthony was an exception. Gilbert was sitting silently in the shadows, so these people did not even notice his presence. Seeing Gilbert come out, Anthony broke into a smile. He grabbed Kisa's waist and deliberately brought her into his arms, causing her to crash into his wall of muscles, almost knocking her out. She frowned and looked up as Anthony stared at Gilbert provocatively.The way Anthony looked at Gilbert puzzled Kisa. She somehow felt that Anthony was using her to get back at Gilbert. But she doubted that. She did not think she was worthy of being used as a tool to get back at Gilbert.Just then, Gilbert had come over. She saw his f

But the two men stopped about six feet away from her at the elevator. Gilbert did not even look at her as if she were a stranger with no connection to him. As the elevator door opened, Gilbert and Davian walked in without looking the other way.Kisa smirked with a stiff expression. 'Gilbert is superb at pretending not to know me.' She lowered her eyes and sat down again slowly by holding the wall.Not far from the door of the private room, an assistant whispered to Anthony, "Gilbert really doesn't seem to know that woman. He didn't show any reaction when he saw that woman. So she might not be his ex-wife, but just a bit like her.""Then could you explain his sudden promotion of Ariella as the second female lead, and that woman was Ariella's assistant?""Coincidence, I guess."Anthony stared thoughtfully at the woman huddled in a ball at the end of the hallway, his sharp eyes filled with curiosity and scheme. Out of the clubhouse, Davian asked Gilbert, "Are you really going to le

"Aaaaah!"The man behind her screamed miserably and let go of her. Only then did she find the voice familiar."Mrs. Kooper, it is me. Why did you bite me?"As the voice said, she looked back at it in fear, and it turned out that it was Davian."W-Why did you tie me up?" Kisa looked at him in puzzlement. Through the streetlight, she saw that Davian's hand was bleeding. Now she felt embarrassed and guilty. She was too scared just now, so she overreacted a bit.Davian shook his bitten hand and said with a wronged look on his face, "You were just being followed. Hadn't I tied you up, they would have abducted you by now.""How did you know I was being followed?" Kisa looked at him in surprise. 'Could he have been following her?'Davian opened his mouth and was about to say something when Gilbert suddenly peeked out of the car window and hummed nonchalantly. "What is the point of all that nonsense? Get in the car."Once she saw Gilbert was there, Kisa stopped saying anything. Davian

"Where are your shoes?" Gilbert asked in a faint voice."I gave them to Ariella," Kisa replied casually.He let out a mocking smile. 'When did this vicious woman become so kind-hearted?' Gilbert looked out the window, finding that those feet of hers were an eyesore.Sometime later, the car finally slowed to a stop. Kisa glanced out the window. In front of her eyes was a magnificent, luxurious hotel.Gilbert had already gotten out of the car first. She hesitated for a long while but still followed and got out of the car at last. As much as she resented staying in the same hotel with Gilbert, there was no other option at the moment, as her documents were not with her, and she could not stay in any hotel."Okay, Mr. Kooper. I will go right away." Davian hung up the phone helplessly. He turned to look at Kisa. "Mrs. Kooper, you should go in. Mr. Kooper is staying on the 30th floor, Room 3008.""Aren't you going in?""I have to go buy medicine."When Kisa heard that, she remembered
