Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1449

Carolyn’s eyes brightened as she heard Adrien’s words. “Wait, did I hear that right?” she asked.

Adrien chuckled, his smile looking a little too forced. “If you don’t want me to contact her, then we’ll drop the matter. We already have The Case Group, and my family’s business is more than enough to support you and Sharon. We don’t need the Kooper family’s GK.”

Carolyn’s tone turned urgent. “What are you talking about? GK is a big deal in the media industry. The Case Group doesn’t even come close to it. Adrien, did you mean what you just said? If you can really get GK, then I won’t interfere with you contacting that little… girl.”

Adrien’s lips curled in amusement. “Don’t worry. Everything is under my control. Just wait for me to give you GK as a dowry.”

Carolyn’s face lit up with a smile, and she looked like a young woman again, full of happiness and excitement, which did not quite match her age. But she did not notice the sneer and coldness in Adrien’s eyes.

After a few more days passed, Gilbert still had not returned. Kisa could not help but miss him.

One night, she stared at Gilbert’s number for what felt like an eternity, but she could not bring herself to dial it. She threw her phone aside and let out a sigh. After a while, she got up from her bed and headed toward the door.

Gilbert was not home, which was convenient for her to go to the study to look for any information on GK. She needed to do something to make Adrien completely trust her.

confidential It was already past eleven at night, and everyone in the house had gone to bed. Kisa made her way to the study with ease. The room was spotless, but there was still a lingering scent of the man she missed. The laptop on the desk was still open, as if he had just stepped away for a moment.

Kisa stood there for a moment, feeling lost, before starting to search for any confidential GK files. The bookshelf was filled with mostly finance and career–related books, a few collections of essays, and some basic GK data.

Kisa searched through the bookshelf for a while but found nothing. She was familiar with the study but did not know if there was a hidden safe or anything of that sort.

She searched the bookshelf again, then crouched down and pulled open the cabinet underneath. In the past, she had only picked out a few books from the shelf and had never looked inside the cabinet. As she pulled open the cabinet, a safe appeared before her eyes.

Kisa was stunned. ‘So, there is a safe in the study after all,‘ she thought.

The safe was embedded inside the cabinet. She stared at the lock for a while, then tried to open it.

She first tried Gilbert’s birthday digits, but it did not work. Then she tried Andrew and Ada’s birthdays, but still no luck. She crouched in front of the cabinet door, thinking for a moment, before trying her own birthday. With a click, the cabinet door opened.

Kisa widened her eyes in disbelief. ‘Gilbert has used my birthday for the safe code. Does he really trust me so much that he isn’t afraid I would peek into his secrets?‘

Suppressing her shock and complicated emotions, she took out the documents from inside and started to read them. Almost all of them were confidential GK files.

‘Does Gilbert really trust me, or is he testing me by giving me such a good opportunity to steal the information inside?‘

Little did Kisa know; Gilbert was watching her every move from his computer screen.
