Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1349

Chapter 1349 There Is Only One Way Carrie did not seem to notice how Mr. Mullen Sr. and Jane’s faces changed after listening to what she said. She then continued talking with disdain plastered across her face.

“What I’m saying is that that woman is dumb. She was already sleeping with Anthony. Why didn’t she make use of it to marry into the family? I mean, Aunty Jane became a part of the Mullen family because of the child she bore. That woman could have done the same. I don’t get why she didn’t just ask Aunty Jane for advice. Why would she kill herself just like that? Oh, I forgot…”

Carrie was disdainful and proud. She seemed to have remembered something and sneered, “I forgot your friend was actually pregnant with Anthony’s child, but Ms. Reyes outplayed her. Tsk, tsk. She was merely a plaything that could be replaced easily. No wonder she killed herself!”

Slam!

As soon as Carrie finished speaking, Mr. Mullen Sr. slammed the table unbearably. “You’re quite the chatterbox, eh? If you don’t want to eat, then get out!”

Carrie’s body shrank, and she immediately shut her mouth, no longer daring to say anything. The rest also lowered their heads and acted like it was not their problem. Mrs. Mullen Sr., on the other hand, calmly ate her food without a care in the world.

Kisa clenched her fists tightly, and the veins on the back of her hands popped out. Gilbert held her hand and stroked it gently with his thumb as if to comfort her. After a while, he sneered at Carrie and said, ” Wow. You seem to know a lot about the tips and tricks of stepping into a wealthy family, Ms.

Carrie.”

Carrie was startled. She looked at Gilbert inexplicably while he gracefully added food to Kisa’s plate.

“Seeing that you’re so familiar with bearing children to step into a wealthy family, am I wrong to say that you tried every means to conceive Mr. Leon’s child so that you can be his wife?”

“Pfft-” Lydia suddenly let out a muffled laugh. She then quickly lowered her head, trying to minimize her existence, knowing it had been impolite of her to laugh.

The expression on Carrie’s face looked extremely ugly. She did not have a comeback to refute Gilbert’s words.

Right at that moment, Mrs. Mullen Sr. said to her hatefully, “The way you stepped into this family was not very glorious either, so you should keep your mouth shut and stop gossiping about other people!”

‘I would have never let a woman like you marry into the family if you weren’t pregnant with my son’s child,’ Mrs. Mullen Sr. thought. ‘You even led him astray.”

Carrie bit her lip in anger. She did not dare make a sound.

Gilbert ate the soup slowly, not forgetting to fill Kisa’s plate with food throughout the process. Kisa did not eat much since her tummy was feeling weird, but she tried her best to push through it because Adrien was there. She did not want to expose herself to him in the slightest.

Another thing that worried her was Gilbert treating her very well, to the point of meticulously caring for her health. She noticed that Adrien had been observing their behavior at the dinner table and was afraid that he would use other means to drive a wedge between her and Gilbert if they continued.

She still could not figure out why he wanted her and Gilbert to hate each other. ‘What good does it do for him if Gilbert and I fought? Even if he really is David, there’s no reason for him to wish harm upon us. Plus, it’s still pretty unlikely that he’s David.’

Kisa thought about it carefully. ‘There’s only one way to find out Adrien’s ultimate goal, but…’

She looked sideways at Gilbert with a complex feeling and a hint of uneasiness in her heart.
