Chapter 1410
Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 1410 Late Night Love âWhat?â Gilbert turned to look at Kisa, pulling his hand away as if he hated her touch. Kisa took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in her heart, and said calmly, âI have something to tell you.â
âIs that so? Go ahead then.â The manâs tone was light. He walked to the window, opened it wide, and took out a box of cigarettes. He grabbed one of the cigarettes and lit it. Kisa noticed that Gilbert had been smoking more and more these days.
The man took a big puff and exhaled the smoke before impatiently saying, âI donât have all day, you know. Time is ticking, and I have matters to attend to. So, talk.â
Kisa grabbed her blanket tightly and said, âI saw Sara in the Mullen familyâs basement.â
Gilbert paused. He looked directly at Kisa, but her dull eyes showed no emotion. âWhat are you trying to imply?â he chuckled.
âIâm not implying anything. Iâm just stating the facts.â
âOh? What are your so-called facts then?â the man asked casually. Under the lingering smoke, his handsome face became gloomy and indifferent. Through his attitude, Kisa suspected that his reaction would be the same as Kelvinâs; he was not going to believe her.
Kisa panicked. She looked straight at Gilbert and said in a deep voice, âThe fact is that Sara has been hiding in the restricted area of the Mullen family grounds for the past six years. She was also the one who tampered with my tea. She tried to hypnotize me so I would burn myself with a candle. She wanted me dead. She also wanted Kelvin to become a witness to the flames. After she found out that I faked being hypnotized, she bombed the basement in rage. Like I said, she wanted me dead. She did not hesitate to drag everyone in the Mullen family along with me. She is not as harmless and innocent as you imagine her to be!â
Kisa finished everything in one breath and stared at the manâs face to see his reaction. However, he just smoked in silence and did not say anything.
After a long time, he stood up straight and said, âI. Donât. Believe. A. Single. Word. You. Said.â
A gush of tears began to flow from Kisaâs eyes.
âI knew it!â
She took a deep breath and tried to suppress her tears.
âBut it is expected. How could he ever believe me in this situation? Maybe Iâm just too naive to think that he would believe me.â
Kisa clenched her fists tightly when she saw the man walk out of the room without looking back.
I must reveal Saraâs vicious nature to the public! I must convince this man that Iâm telling him the truth!â
Late that night, Kisa was half asleep when she was awakened by a phone call. She grabbed her phone in a daze and looked at the caller ID to find that Adrien was calling her.
She jumped up, immediately wide awake, and supported herself up and leaned against the bed frame.
She then turned on the wall lamp by the bed and looked around the room. Gilbert was not back yet, so she answered the phone.
âHey, Kisa. How is it going? I heard that Gilbert saved you that day. Is your injury doing better?â Adrien sounded worried; his voice was soft. However, the kindness behind his voice also sounded fake.
âMy minor injuries are fine now, but my legs may need some time to heal,â Kisa said with a smile.
âThatâs great⦠Speaking of which, I did not expect Mr. Kooper to risk his own safety just to save you. I guess he must have feelings for you, huh?â
Kisa frowned when she heard that. Adrienâs words sounded like a test. Suddenly, Kisa had an ideal and deliberately let out a sarcastic laugh.
