Chapter 1436

Mia’s face twisted into a sneer; her eyes cold as she spoke. “Kisa, how much do you love Gilbert to still be defending him at this point? You’re such a fake and insincere woman, aren’t you? Your words about revenge were nothing but lies. I can’t believe Jensen is into someone like you. You may not want to avenge him, but don’t you dare defend a killer.” Despite the cause and effect of that accident being unknown, she firmly believed that it was all because of Gilbert’s relentless pursuit that led to the tragedy.

Kisa shook her head. “I’m not defending him. I’m simply pointing out that there may be more to this accident than what meets the eye. Adrien had Jensen hide the warden, and he deliberately leaked that information to Gilbert through Lea. Gilbert’s pursuit of Jensen led to the accident, so it is possible that this was all part of Adrien’s twisted scheme. Jensen is not the kind of person to lose control of a car like that, especially not with his driving skills. Someone must have tampered with the car.”

Mia’s expression grew even colder as she listened, her mind racing with disbelief and anger. “How could it be possible?” She murmured to herself, “It’s impossible, this can’t be happening. Jensen is his…”

Kisa shook her head, her voice unwavering. “I’m not saying Jensen had anything to do with it, Mia. I’m saying that someone else may have manipulated the situation. You need to start thinking outside of the box and considering all the possibilities.”

Mia’s fists clenched at her sides, and she took a step closer to Kisa. “You’re not welcome here anymore. Leave and don’t come back until you have something useful to say.”

Kisa held her ground, her eyes flashing with defiance. “I won’t let you silence me, Mia. I’ll continue to investigate until we find out the truth, even if it means going against Gilbert himself.”

The tension between the two women was palpable, and neither was willing to back down. As Kisa turned to leave, the air was thick with unresolved anger and suspicion, and the shadow of danger lurked just beneath the surface.

Mia raised her head and smiled at Kisa. “He doesn’t want to see you. Now that you and Gilbert are so in love, seeing him will only hurt him. Even if he’s in a vegetative state, he can still sense it. So, it’s better if you just don’t see him.”

Kisa pursed her lips and didn’t push any further. She let out a sigh and looked at Mia’s alluring eyes.

“Mia, can you tell me about Jensen’s relationship with Adrien?”

Mia’s hand paused in mid-air as she was about to take a drag from her cigarette. After a moment of hesitation, she said with a faint smile, “It’s nothing special, just a boss and subordinate relationship.

Jensen used to work under him, that’s all.”

“Really?” Kisa didn’t know if she should believe her, but what choice did she have? After all, what kind of relationship could there be between Jensen and Adrien? Adrien was not the Kooper family’s heir.

Mia glanced at the empty doorway and smiled at Kisa. “There’s not a sound outside, it looks like your man has left. Do you want me to find someone to take you home?”

“No, thank you.” Kisa shook her head. She felt that Gilbert was still waiting for her outside. After all, he cherished the child in her womb. She suddenly looked at Mia seriously. “Are we… friends?”

Mia’s hand holding the cigarette became stiff once again. She seemed uneasy, scratching her hair and saying, “Why are you asking me such sappy questions today?”

Kisa remained silent but stared at Mia intently.

Mia couldn’t stand her gaze. On one hand, she despised this woman, but on the other hand, she had to admit that her eyes were very clear and bright, making her heart tremble. She took a drag from her cigarette and averted her gaze, saying unnaturally, “If you say we are, then we are.”
