Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 867

Chapter 867 He Wants Her to Die a Horrible Death After spending the past days with Gilbert, she still could not believe what the warden said. She kept thinking of reasons to disprove the warden’s accusation.

She clenched her hands and said tensely, “I found two of your jailers who said Gilbert had nothing to do with the fire.”

“What do they know? They were just taking my orders, and it was I who liaised with. Gilbert. At first, I didn’t dare to do it, but Gilbert promised he would take all responsibility for it in case things went wrong.

I asked him why he did it and why he had to burn the woman named Kisa; he said he hated her and would only be happy to see her die a horrible death.”

He would only be happy to see me die a horrible death? Heh, did he really say that? Were all the tenderness and affection he had shown me all these days a lie? But why did he have to go to such lengths to deceive me if it was a lie? If he really hated me, he could have just taken revenge on me by killing me straight away. Why bother beating around the bush?‘

She could not breathe from intense grief but still stubbornly looked for excuses. “The two jailers had said it was a woman who talked to you in the office at the time, and it wasn’t Gilbert at all.”

“A woman? I remember now. Back then, to persuade me, Mr. Kooper presented me with a beautiful woman,” the warden said, with embarrassment on his face. “Those two jailers are probably talking about that woman.”

Kisa shook her head. “They said that a woman told them to mislead me at the door, and they had never seen Gilbert. How could the fire be related to him then?” Kisa asked. Immediately after, she cried out, “I warn you again, you better tell me the truth, or I will really chop off your hands and feet.”

Jensen’s face turned stern as he narrowed his eyes. “If you dare to lie, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death.”

The warden trembled and cried out, “I’m telling the truth. My life is in your hands now, so why would I lie to you? And why do you have to think I’m telling lies but have never thought of suspecting the two jailers?”

The warden’s words sounded like a wake–up call. ‘Yeah, why not suspect the two jailers?‘ Kisa asked in her mind, suddenly remembering the perverse and strange reaction of the two jailers when they saw Gilbert. ‘If the two jailers had never seen Gilbert, why did they act so afraid when they first saw him at Hillsby? Moreover, what made them conclude that the fire had nothing to do with Gilbert? When they saw Gilbert, why did their eyes look so evasive, as if… as if Gilbert had threatened them with something?‘ She did not dare to think about it, but what happened at Hillsby was all really weird.

She covered her temples, which were in severe pain, feeling as if she was swept into a horrible whirlpool. Fear, confusion, and despair hit her at once. She suddenly became breathless, going weak at the knees, and fell backward.
