Chapter 1460

Gilbert was propped up in bed, stirring awake with a cigarette in hand. His profile was as cold and forbidding as an icy cliff, sending shivers down the spine of anyone who dared to look at him. Kisa tried to steady herself and flashed him a smile. “What brings you to the land of the living?” she asked. Thank goodness she had stowed away the copies in the car, or else she would be in hot

water.

Gilbert shot her a quick glance and asked, “Why are you up at this hour?”

“Nothing much, just parched. I had to quench my thirst with some water,” Kisa replied, but Gilbert remained expressionless. He blew smoke rings and focused his gaze on the fluttering curtains, lost in thought.

Kisa marched up to him, snuffed out his smoke, and huffed, “You smoke like a chimney day and night. You’re killing your lungs.”

Gilbert suddenly turned his intense gaze on her, his eyes piercing and icy. “Do you want GK?” he whispered, sounding almost tender.

Kisa’s heart skipped a beat. She crawled under the covers and shook her head. “I don’t want it.”

Gilbert quirked a smile. “If you want it, all you have to do is ask. I will give it to you, no questions asked,” he said.

Kisa furrowed her brow, torn about what to do. ‘Why is he acting like this? Does he know about my scheme to bring Adrien down? Should I come clean and risk ruining everything? But if I don’t tell him, will it come back to bite me?

As Kisa deliberated, Gilbert suddenly flicked off the lights.

“Time to hit the hay. No more talking.” he declared.

word “invite’ hard and provocatively smiled at Sharon.

Sharon’s face twisted with anger. Before she could say anything. Carolyn quickly grabbed her and apologized to Kisa. “Sharon doesn’t know any better. I’ll teach her a lesson. You and Adrien talk business.” She finished speaking and pulled Sharon out.

Kisa sarcastically thought to herself, “Wow, they are so polite to me. Do they really think I will just hand over GK to them on a silver platter?

As the mother and daughter walked out, Kisa smiled at them and said, “Christopher really misses you two. Don’t you want to go in and see him?”

“Wow, you are such a devoted daughter, even though he wants to kill you. Tsk tsk… I know you crave fatherly love, so I’ll give him to you. Go see him yourself. Don’t call him my father again. My father is the famous Mr. Tanner,” Sharon taunted.
