Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)

Kisa was so eager to retrieve her mother‘s belongings that she ignored the show Carolyn had put on. She allowed Carolyn to drag her toward the staircase.

However, just as they got to the staircase, Carolyn came to a stop.

Then, she turned to Gilbert with a smile, “Gilbert, dear, has Mrs. Kooper Sr. regained consciousness yet?”

Gilbert froze momentarily.

“Not yet,” he answered coolly.

Carolyn made a surprised expression, “Ah, I see. I thought Mrs. Kooper Sr. had regained consciousness. After all, Kisa was reckless back then when she injured her. If Mrs. Kooper Sr. hasn‘t regained consciousness, why are you helping Kisa to retrieve her mother‘s belongings? Don‘t you hate her?”

Gilbert‘s expression instantly darkened. His two hands that were resting on his knees tightened.

When Christopher saw his reaction, he feigned anger and yelled at Carolyn, “What‘re you talking about? Hurry up and take Kisa upstairs.” Meanwhile, Carolyn quickly feigned an apologetic look. “I‘m so sorry, Gilbert, dear. I asked because I was curious. Don‘t take it to heart, alright?” “I‘m only here today for Kisa to retrieve her mother‘s belongings. I‘ll be leaving right after,” he said icily.

Carolyn did not dare to add fire to the fuel now that Gilbert was evidently angry, so she quickly brought Kisa upstairs. Even though Kisa was back in the house she used to live in, she did not feel a thing despite being in her old bedroom.

This was because she had never received any warmth back when she stayed at this house.

Kisa used to think of Sharon as her only ray of sunshine in this house. However, she later learned that Sharon‘s heart was as dark as coal.

They continued walking.

Suddenly, Carolyn turned to her with a sneer, “Tsk. When Sharon told me that you were alive, I almost didn‘t believe her. It seems like you got lucky.” Since the only thing on Kisa’s mind were her mother‘s belongings, she ignored Carolyn‘s snarky remarks.

They finally arrived at the attic. Carolyn turned abruptly and glared at her. “Let me get this straight, Gilbert belongs to Sharon only. You‘re no better than a servant compared to Sharon.”

“Alright, alright… Sharon is the best, and Gilbert will be Sharon‘s in no time. Sharon will also become known as GK Pictures‘s Mrs. Kooper soon. Is this good enough?” Kisa asked.

Carolyn scoffed at Kisa‘s annoyance, “Wait here. I‘ll go get the keys.”

Just as Carolyn turned her back, her eyes glinted menacingly. Then, she sneered.

A few minutes passed, and Kisa did not see Carolyn return with the keys.

She could not resist shoving the door in front of her. However, the door did not budge.

Kisa could not help but frown in confusion.

‘That‘s weird… Carolyn could have taken the keys on the way here; why did she only return to get the keys after we got to the door? She‘s making me wait here all by myself. Is she trying to set me up?‘ she wondered. Kisa quickly turned around to search for Carolyn. Just as she turned around, she was met with an old man in his eighties. He walked toward her with a cane.

The old man was not any other old man but Kisa‘s biological grandfather, Mr. Case Sr.

“Gilbert, Sharon‘s very simple–minded and gentle. Since you‘re both in the entertainment industry, please watch after her,” Christopher said courteously with a smile.

Gilbert responded coolly, “She doesn‘t need anyone to watch after her; she‘s an international superstar.” “That‘s not true. Sharon is too naive and kind. I‘m worried that she‘ll fall victim to other people‘s trickery. That‘s how she got tricked by Kisa.” “AHH! What‘re you doing?!”

Just as Christopher finished his sentence, someone upstairs shouted and startled everyone.
