Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 1562

"Ugh, people say I'm a twisted soul, but you take the cake.You just can't stand seeing others happy, can you?"

"You know what? If I can't be happy, why should anyone else be? I mean, just today, I stirred the pot and turned Kelvin and Gracie's envy-worthy marriage into a battleground, almost leading to a divorce.Seeing them argue was pure bliss.If you need intel on GK, give me a shout.After all, I didn't stoop to working as a regular employee at GK just for a daily dose of Gilbert."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure it's worth your while.After all, you did take care of me quite well."

Shaun smirked, a mocking glint in his eyes behind his gold-framed glasses.

As the figure outside the room left, he finally adjusted his belt and strolled out.Sara, disheveled, slumped to the floor, listening to the chaos outside with a bitter smile.

‘Soon, I will be the queen bee of the Kooper family, basking in endless glory!' she said in her mind.Kisa had just come downstairs when she bumped into Gilbert.Flashing a smile, Gilbert asked, ''What brings you down from upstairs? Catching up with Gracie?"

Shaking her head, Kisa was about to speak when Shaun sauntered in behind her.

Impeccably dressed, it was impossible to believe he had just been entwined with Sara in the garret.

Gilbert's brow furrowed at the sight of Shaun.

Shaun grinned at him.

"Mr.Kooper, it's been a minute, huh?"All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Gilbert pulled Kisa closer and replied with a cryptic smile, "Jensen and Mia left, leaving you quite the opportunity.novel.e.book Since you've seized it, cherish it and don't resort to any dirty tricks."

Shaun scoffed.

'My boss's departure gave you a golden opportunity too, Mr.Kooper.GK and the Kooper residence were in his grasp.If it weren't for his guilt over accidentally causing the death of your wife's unborn child, followed by his guilt-driven escape, you'd have nothing right now.Ultimately, everything you have now was paid for with the life of that child."

Gilbert's expression hardened, his hand tightening involuntarily.

Sensing the cold tension radiating from him, Kisa quickly gripped his hand.She shot a frosty glare at Shaun and snapped, "Jensen and Mia handed over Risen Enterprise to you because they trusted you.Don't betray their faith in you."

Shaun's mocking smirk faltered for a moment.He scoffed, lit a cigarette, and swaggered toward the foyer.

Gilbert's face displayed a blend of frustration and fury, his entire body coiled with tension.

Kisa sighed softly, holding his hand tightly and whispered, "Don't let his venomous words get under your skin.What you have now was always destined to be yours.It has nothing to do with the child.Jensen merely took what wasn't his, and now it's back where it belongs."

"I would gladly give up all these worldly possessions just to have our child safe and sound."

Gilbert's eyes brimmed with tears, his face etched with remorse.He could not help but feel guilt-ridden about the child's death, just as Kisa felt remorseful for his parents’ demise. novel.e.book These were the thorns lodged deep in their hearts, impossible to extract.

Kelvin's baby's one-month celebration was a whirlwind of excitement.

Kelvin's parents and grandfather could not contain their joy.

Kisa did not spend much time in the main hall; she and Gracie retreated to the sanctuary of the backyard all day.

Kelvin had not ventured back to the yard since Gracie's biting words.

Even when Jacob Hoover, Kelvin's grandfather, wanted to parade the baby before the guests in the main hall, it was the servants who obliged.

Kelvin remained out of sight all day, likely sulking in some shadowy corner.

Gracie, too, seemed dispirited and hardly spoke.

As the party drew to a close at 7.00 pm, Scott Hoover and Chelsea Hartman, Kelvin's parents, stood at the entrance, bidding their guests farewell.

Gracie had just escorted Kisa out when she heard Scott's voice erupt in a torrent of curses.
