Chapter 1497

Sharon strutted over, arms crossed, and demanded Kisa answer her mother’s question.

“Hey, my mom is talking to you. Answer her already! You’ve been kicked out by Gilbert, so now you’re trying to kiss up to my mom? Give me a break. Gilbert might have loved and protected you before, but now GK is about to go belly up. He’s like a stray dog, and he won’t have time for you anymore. My parents are the only ones worth impressing now, so you’d better answer my mom’s question.”

Carolyn sat nearby, admiring her freshly painted nails with an air of superiority.

Kisa sneered at Sharon and retorted, “You’ve been doing all the talking, so how am I supposed to answer? If you want an answer so badly, then shut your mouth.”

“You trash!” Sharon cursed and raised her hand to slap Kisa’s face. At Carolyn and Adrien’s wedding, it seemed like the mother and daughter duo were fearless and had no regard for anything or anyone.

As Kisa instinctively dodged Sharon’s slap, a large hand suddenly grabbed Sharon’s wrist and flung her across the room. As Sharon crashed into the bar, glasses and cups shattered all around her, causing a deafening clamor.

Amidst the chaos, the media’s camera flashes never stopped.

“Who the hell…” Sharon stood up and began to curse, but when she saw the man in front of her, the words stuck in her throat.

She quickly changed her tune, batting her eyelashes and said in a flirtatious tone, “Oh, it is just Gilbert.

I didn’t realize you were here.”

Kisa watched in surprise as Gilbert arrived. ‘Who invited him here? Adrien?’ she wondered.

Gilbert did not even look at Kisa. He casually put his hands in his pockets and said, “I think I just heard someone say I’m a dog from a bankrupt family. II Sharon quickly shook her head. “No, no one would ever say that about you, Gilbert. In my heart, you’re always the coolest guy around.”

Gilbert sneered and looked at her like she was a joke.

Carolyn was not happy with Gilbert’s comment and snorted, “If he’s a dog from a bankrupt family, he’s a dog from a bankrupt family. No one can change that.”

Gilbert shrugged. “You are right. I can’t compare to you now, Mrs. Case. Look at this wedding; it’s the grandest event ever held at Calthon. You look so pleased with yourself that I almost forgot how you used to suck up to me, Mrs. Case.”

Gilbert repeatedly addressed her as Mrs. Case, making Carolyn’s face turn green with anger.

Gilbert did not want to waste any more time with her, so he grabbed Kisa and walked away. They found themselves a quiet corridor where he pressed Kisa against the wall but did not say a word.

Kisa looked at him and whispered, “How is your injury? Is it better?” He did not answer her and just locked his eyes on her. She felt like her question was pointless.

‘His complexion is much better than the other day, but the tiredness and impatience between his eyebrows are more apparent. Is it because of Madalyn’s condition?’

She gritted her teeth and asked even more softly, “Is your grandma doing okay?”

“What makes you think you have the right to ask?” He shot back.

She lowered her eyes and stopped talking. Once upon a time, her feelings for this man were a mixture of love and hate, but now she felt only guilt.

“You told me before that you pretended to cooperate with Adrien to get to the bottom of his true intentions,” Gilbert said.

Kisa nodded and looked up at him. “Do you believe me?”

Gilbert did not answer her question and only asked, “When will your plan end? When will we finally be able to put all the resentment and calculation aside and be a real couple?”

Kisa pursed her lips and was about to answer when suddenly, there was a huge commotion coming from the banquet hall.
