Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 79 Youâre Suspecting Me? Kisa lowered her gaze as she quietly sorted the matter out in her mind. âSo, itâs because Gilbert acted late that the news could not be suppressed, and when he learned that Howard was using this news to get popular, he handed the role back to him to help publicize the new GK Pictureâs drama?â
âBut with Gilbertâs proud character, he will not care for such trifling benefits.â âSo why did he suddenly give Howard his role back?â She did not believe that man would be so kind to do so.
âAs for the rumors, could it be Sharonâs doing?â âDid she deliberately let the reporters know that I was Kisa Becker, and got them to gather around Grandmaâs place?â
âBut this entire thing does Sharon no good. Conversely, if my identity as GK Pictureâs CEOâs wise is exposed, then Sharon will never have the chance to marry into the Kooper family.â
âSo, this is not her doing.â
After analyzing the entire thing, the greatest benefactor for this was Howard himself.
Thinking of this, the same terrifying thought appeared in her mind again.
âNo, I need to ascertain things with Howard. I cannot allow my sincerity to be used like this.â
That night, Kisa, wrapped up in thick clothes, sat by the river as she rubbed her hands together to fight off the cold.
On such a cold day, there was no one else but her by the river.
She wandered around back and forth by the river for a while before a thin man wearing a cap and mask finally walked toward her.
âMiss Watson, you must be freezing. Come, let me treat you to a cup of coffee.â
It was Howard.
As he said that he grabbed Kisa by the hand. She immediately dodged aside, saying, âThis is a good place, we wonât be seen at the very least.
Howardâs voice immediately took an apologetic tone, âIâm sorry. Itâs my fault that you got dragged into this.â
âThe one that should be apologizing is me. Itâs because of me youâre dragged into this nonsense, no?â
As it was nighttime, plus Howard was much more covered up, Kisa could not see his expression.
She did not keep up the apologies and instead asked him, âWhy did youâ
Howard was clearly taken aback, before asking somewhat miffed a moment later, âAre you suspecting me?â
Kisa did not say anything. Howard suddenly snorted before speaking in a disappointed tone, âI was visiting my little sisterâs grave that day. Many of the roads there were congested because of accidents, so the road by Mrs. Walkerâs manor was the only one I could take to go back to my village. Just as I was about to take that route, I unexpectedly saw you lying in the snow.â Kisa did not say anything still, she did not know if she could believe Howard or not.
Seeing her keeping silent, Howard laughed again, his laughter sounding a little sad. âI lived in Mullenby, and my little sister was Snow Mullen. If you donât believe me, you can take that road near Mrs. Walkerâs manor and have a look.â

He then left after saying that, and Kisa did not try to stop him. With everything being murky now, she dared not trust anyone at all. After returning to the Kooper residence, and just as she walked past Gilbertâs room, Sharonâs voice suddenly came out from within. âI saw Kisa being with Howard by the riverside⦠But I believe she has nothing to do with him, they were probably just talking about the news.â Kisa listened on outside as an icy smile slowly took over her face. âSharon sure is a b*tch. She would deliberately leave a conversation hanging before trying her best to help me undo the knot.â
âThat way, itâs impossible for anyone to believe that I have nothing to do with Howard.â As she thought back, âHasnât Sharon always been pretending to be a good person?â
But back then, she actually thought that this woman was actually the most innocent, the kindest of person in the world. âIâm really blind.â
She took a deep breath and then pushed open the door before her.
