Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)

Sharon was stunned. She scowled at her and snapped. "What are you talking about?"

"You know that Gilbert's seriously injured and needs as much rest as possible. Yet, you still choose to talk about these things in front of him. Are you trying to kill him?"

"I'm not," retorted Sharon. She quickly looked toward him, "Gilbert, trust me. I wasn't trying to make you angry. I just felt like all this was unfair to you."

Gilbert seemed tired. He pinched his forehead and replied coldly, "Get out."

Sharon, who was looking pleased, turned toward Kisa, "Did you hear that? Gilbert wants you to leave."

"Both of you, get out!"

His words startled Sharon and made her blush in shame.

Kisa sneered at her, then turned around and walked out. Just as she entered her room, she heard quick footsteps following behind her.

She turned around to a big slap flying toward her.

Luckily, she was fast enough to react. She quickly lifted her hands and grabbed onto Sharon's wrist.

Now that Gilbert was not around, Sharon shed her goody-two-shoes facade, revealing her true vicious nature underneath.

"Kisa Becker! I've underestimated you. You have always acted like a saint. I never thought you were such a silver-tongued devil."

Kisa roughly pushed her away and took a few steps back.

She scoffed, "No matter how good I am, I will never be able to match your level. That year when Sara went missing and I was sent into jail, although you created the illusion that you were not involved, you seemed to be the one benefiting the most out of the incident."

Sharon's face darkened in anger, "What do you mean? Don't you dare accuse me!"

"If you didn't want people to find out, you shouldn't have done it in the first place."

Sharon was furious. She ran over to her, grabbed her wrist tightly and warned, "Let me tell you this. Don't you dare slander my reputation. All those dirty things that happened back then were all your doing. Do you think anyone would simply believe your words?"

"If that's the case, why are you overreacting so much? What's wrong, are you feeling guilty?"

"As if!" Sharon pushed her away and snorted, "I just hate people sullying my reputation. You were given a chance to live again, so just be grateful and live quietly. Stop trying to play games in front of the media Do you really think Gilbert will let you become the CEO of GK Pictures again if the public finds out about your true identity? Pfft, stop dreaming!"

"Even if I can't regain my position as CEO, it won't be yours either. As long as I'm legally married to Gilbert, you will never have the chance."

"You!" Sharon was enraged. The vicious look on her face was as if she wanted to tear Kisa into pieces.

Kisa turned back and sat on the sofa. With her hands crossed under her chest, she stared at Sharon, "After all, you've stuck by his side for five years trying to gain his favor, but he hasn't made any moves on you. Tell me, is it your skills that are the problem, or is it the fact that he has no feelings for you at all?"

"You evil lady!" Sharon was losing her mind in anger, and rushed over to attack Kisa.

Kisa sneered, "You're in the Kooper family home. Lift a finger at me, I dare you."

Sharon recoiled at those words and stood still.

She stared back at Kisa, "You're ruthless!"

After throwing those words, she left with a cloud of anger. She slammed the door as hard as she could on her way out.

Once Sharon left, the sneer on Kisa's face faded into self-pity. She had mocked Sharon, but she could not win over Gilbert's heart. After tonight, she was even more convinced that Sharon was not involved with the recent news. Still, Kisa was sure that she definitely had something to do with the events that had happened back then.

The next morning, she planned to check out the location Howard had mentioned. However, she did not want to alarm the bodyguard at the door, since Gilbert had ordered her to stay in the house. She was anxious, but all she could do was ask Davian to go on her behalf.

Initially, Davian was reluctant to go, as he still held a grudge toward her for being heartless to Gilbert. It was only when she promised to stay by Gilbert's side 24/7 and take care of him that he agreed. Even though she was making such a promise, it was up to Gilbert himself to decide whether he would allow her to do so. That was out of her control.

She was sure that Gilbert did not want to see her, so the next morning she went into Gilbert's room and paced back and forth, trying to annoy him and make him chase her out.

Little did she know, she would not make it out.
