Chapter 1438
Reborn Through Fire
âDo you know why your daughter wouldnât help you? Itâs because she is working with me now. She wants you to be ruined, with nothing left. How could she possibly help you?â
âThe truth is, she asked me to seduce your wife, and she asked me to take down The Case Group from you, because she wants to avenge her mother.â
âYouâre such a pathetic father. In the end, you were humiliated by your own flesh and blood.â
Adrienâs words echoed in Christopherâs ears, pushing him further toward the edge of insanity. He quickly turned the car around and headed straight toward the two of them.
Kisaâs face turned pale. Gilbert quickly picked her up and pushed her toward the greenery on the side.
As the car approached at breakneck speed, Gilbert dodged out of the way, but was still hit hard by the right side of the car.
Kisaâs heart was pounding so fast she thought it would stop. She screamed âGilbert!â and watched as Christopher drove away. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she glared at the car disappearing in the distance.
But as she turned her gaze away, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar car parked not far away, under the shade of a tree. She frowned, feeling that the person sitting inside the car was Adrien.
âChristopher is my father, and no matter what, he wonât hate me enough to want to kill me, unless Adrien said something to him. If it really is Adrien who is causing trouble, what is his goal? Is he intentionally leading Christopher to hell, or is he using him to test how much Gilbert cares for me?
This is not the first time Adrien has used such tricks.â
Her mind was racing, and she tried to keep her emotions under control as she rushed toward Gilbert.
Gilbertâs arm was badly injured, and he had several abrasions and lacerations on his body. She suppressed her worries and asked him calmly, âAre you okay?â
Seeing the indifferent look on her face, Gilbert withdrew his hand and muttered, âIâm fine.â It seemed like he was in a lot of pain, as he gritted his teeth.
With Adrien possibly watching them from the sidelines, Kisa did not want to linger any longer. She helped Gilbert and said, âLetâs go back and have Kelvin take a look at your wounds.â However, Gilbert still pulled his hand away coldly. She pursed her lips and decided not to bother him anymore, simply following him into the car.
Upstairs, Mia breathed a sigh of relief as she watched their car drive away. She glanced at the man in the corner and said with a faint smile, âDonât worry. Sheâs fine. It is just thatâ¦â
She lowered her eyes and toyed with her nails, her voice laced with sarcasm and sadness. âWhy do fathers these days always want to kill their own children? Is it because the children did something wrong, or is it because they donât deserve to be called fathers?â
Jensen said not a word, but he snapped the cigarette between his fingers.
Adrien watched the scene with little emotion in his eyes, but his lips curved into a triumphant smile. He looked toward the direction of the second floor, and a hint of mixed emotions flashed in his eyes. After a long moment, he exhaled a smoke ring and said to the driver, âDrive.â
Gilbertâs arm was bleeding heavily, and blood was seeping out of his sleeve. Kisa was extremely worried and had notified Kelvin on the way. When they arrived back at the Kooper residence, Kelvin was already waiting at the entrance.
As they got off the car, Kisa wanted to help Gilbert, but he pushed her away roughly and said, âGet lost!
I donât need your fake concern!â
