Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 76

Chapter 76 Stomping Her Pride Into the Dirt The door of the study was closed but Gilbert remained silent as he leaned against the table and took a deep puff. The chilly rain had drenched both of them. Kisa hugged herself and felt only chill.

Her voice was seemingly trembling as she said, “Just say what you want to say. If you want to take revenge, come on then.” She hated silence like this, especially when she was cold and being extremely miserable. The man’s expression was extremely scary, and his silence made him even more terrifying to approach. Kisa bit her lips and thinking of Madalyn’s condition the other day, she could not help but ask, “Is Grandma alright?” “Silence! You have no right to speak of her!” Gilbert suddenly erupted into a furious roar.

With him bursting in anger, the wound at his chest looked like it was about to come apart again as the blood stains immediately faintly spread across the rain-soaked shirt. Kisa stared at the bloodstain on his chest for a moment before walking over.

The doctor had repeatedly reminded her that his wound cannot be infected or it will be very troublesome.

That wound was made by her, and the reason she was helping him reapply the bandage and medicating it was in hopes that he would not seek revenge on her for that stab.

There was a medicine box on the table, which seemed like it was specifically prepared to treat his wounds.

Yet when she brought the medicine and gauze before him, he suddenly turned around and angrily pressed her against the table.

“Do you think that Howard can be popular just because you pulled this stunt?” As if he was suppressing a long-simmering anger, his bloodied chest was heaving hard. Kisa stubbornly looked back into his

cold, dark eyes, “You really think I did that?” “Who else then? Back then, you risked life and limb to help him get his role back. So, what wouldn’t you do to make him popular?”

Gilbert glared at her and gnashed his teeth. “The good name of GK Pictures and mine are not tools for you to make some punk popular. Your shameless schemes disgust me!” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“If I’m disgusting, what about you then?”

Kisa looking on mockingly at him, “When I begged you to give Howard his role back, you wouldn’t even budge. Now with how trending this news is, you saw room for profit and immediately gave him the role back. You mock me for my methods and yet you want to use

this to profit. Who’s the more disgusting one here?” Gilbert’s eyes instantly narrowed. “What do you mean?”

“With your capability, you totally would have the ability to suppress this news when it first reared its head. The reason it’s trending now is clearly you allowed it to happen on purpose. You saw that Howard’s star is on the rise and quickly gave him his role back, isn’t this just you trying to use this trend to give “Goddess of My Adoration free publicity?”

“The shows under GK Pictures don’t need this sort of free publicity,” Gilbert let out a mocking short but did not provide any further explanation.

He only looked on gloomily at the woman before him. “So does that mean you admit to this?”

“What difference does it make if I admit it or not? You’d still think I had a hand in this no matter what, no?”

Kisa let out a sneering smile, “How about this, I’ll admit to that, kill me if you want to, but stop clutching me like that, will you?”

Perhaps it was due to her being soaked in the rain, her head was aching and was uncomfortable all over. She only wanted to go back to her room, take a hot bath and get a good night’s sleep. Yet, her mocking tone once again aroused the man’s anger. “Let me tell you, no matter what you do, Howard Mullen will never be popular!” As he said that, he brutally tossed her onto the ground. “Get lost!”

This blow was so strong that Kisa felt that her innards was about to spill out.

At this moment, Kelvin walked in and upon seeing that, reflexively wanted to help her up, but he was stopped by Gilbert.

He coldly looked at the coughing woman who was curled up on the ground and hissed, “You’re always like this, playing the abused victim. What an utter shame for you to not be an actress.”

His mocking words stabbed viciously onto her body like blades.

Kisa clenched her fist and wanted to get up but somehow her strength eluded her.

Yet the more she struggled the more vicious Gilbert’s sneering become, “You sure had it hard yesterday, bringing a bag of blood along with you when we visited Grandma. Judging by the amount of blood on the ground, you must’ve brought quite a bit, no?” Kisa bit her lower lip but her tears still came rushing out.

Kelvin could no longer watch it any longer, “Gilbert, don’t be like this, she’s just…”

“I like to play the abused victim, don’t look then!” Kisa’s outburst interrupted Kelvin’s sentence as she looked at Gilbert with a prickly smile.

Gilbert put his hand away and squatted before her. As he looked at her pained expression, he let out a contemptuous short, “You acting all infirm is just to get me to take pity on you, right? How about this, if

you crawl out of here, then I’ll buy that you’re seriously hurt, and I’ll immediately get the good doctor here to treat you?”
