Chapter 1461
Reborn Through Fire
The two of them burst out laughing as they walked out together.
Kisaâs expression was neutral as she sat down next to Adrien. âHey, Uncle Adrien, is there something you need from me?â
âI just wanted to check in and see if youâve managed to get your hands on any information about That way, I can help you come up with a revenge plan against Gilbert.â
Adrien handed her a cocktail, but Kisa pushed it away with a smile.
âSorry, itâs that time of the month. Can you get me a glass of water instead, godfather?â
The term âgodfatherâ melted Adrienâs heart, and he quickly obliged.
Kisa leaned back on the couch and got down to business. âI stole a ton of confidential files from GK.â
Adrien raised an eyebrow. âWhere are they?â
âI gave them to Risen Enterprise. They are GKâs sworn enemies, so it makes sense to let them take care of business. Gilbert wonât suspect us, and I wonât drag you down either. Plus, if Risen Enterprise can take over GK, it will be a sweet victory for Jensen, who created it in the first place. My ultimate goal is to crush Gilbert and hand over GK to Jensen. That is why I went with Risen Enterprise.â
Adrien took a puff from his cigarette, pondered for a moment, and grinned. âSure, whether GK falls into anyoneâs hands, your goal is still revenge against Gilbert.â
Kisa beamed with satisfaction, âRight, I have been wracking my brain and I donât want to drag you down with me, so thatâs why I thought of them. By the way, you arenât pissed at me, are you?â
Adrien burst out laughing, âHahaha⦠Why would I be pissed at you? I just wanted to help you get back at him, but now you have an even better plan. Iâm thrilled. Why would I ever be mad?â
Adrien patted her on the shoulder, his touch affectionate and kind.
âAnyway, no matter what happens, Iâm here for you. If Risen Enterprise canât be trusted, you can always turn to me for help.â
Kisa nodded and raised her glass to clink with Adrienâs.
âMmm-hmm⦠Iâll keep you informed of our progress against GK. Weâll take down Gilbert together.â
Her face was a mask of bitter hatred, no trace of falsehood.
Adrien chuckled inwardly, a glint in his eye flashing by.
For three consecutive days, Kisa sneaked into the study to steal confidential files from GK. Strangely, every day, the safe would contain new confidential files. Upon checking the dates on the documents, some of the data had even been collected in the past two days. Kisa was convinced that Gilbert was intentionally leaving these files there, tempting her to steal them.
âBut whatâs his motive? Is he not afraid that Iâll destroy GK?â
These past two days, Gilbert had been acting strangely, staring out the window lost in thought. It was impossible to tell what was on his mind. Sometimes Kisa wanted to ask him what was troubling him or strike up a conversation, but she was always discouraged by his cold and distant demeanor.
One morning, as Kisa descended the stairs, she saw him sitting in the dining room having breakfast. It was rare to catch him there since for the past few days, he had disappeared before she even woke up.
âIs everything packed?â Gilbert asked nonchalantly as she walked over.
She was caught off guard. âW-Whatâs packed?â
