Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 226

Chapter 226 Facing It Alone She would never have believed that Christopher would miss her. She would never have believed that th ey really wanted her to go back to the Case residence for dinner. This time, they used her mother’s bel ongings as bait, so they must have come up with another scheme to trap her. She sneered, Do they re ally think I’m the same old Kisa who was so gullible and an easy target?‘

The doorbell rang twice; it sounded unhurried. Kisa opened the door.

Jensen was standing quietly outside with a gentle smile on her lips and an air of dignity around him. “Carolyn and Sharon were here?”

Kisa was startled. “How do you know?”

“I just saw them downstairs,” Jensen said, walking in. “They didn’t come to cause problems for you, did

“I didn’t know they were so kind.” There was a hint of sarcasm and suspicion in Jensen’s voice.
