Chapter 1431 You Have No Right to Hate Her

Gilbert furrowed his brows, thinking of something. He turned around and sure enough, there was Kisa descending the stairs, wrapped in a coat. Even with the coat on, she still looked fragile and delicate.

“What are you doing down here? Don’t you know it is freezing out there?” Gilbert chided her, feeling irked that she could be so careless.

Kisa just grinned and replied, “I wanted to see what you guys were talking about.” She looked at Christopher. She was done with her father, the emotional attachment she once felt had evaporated with every instance of his unfair treatment toward her. She barely glanced at Christopher for a few seconds before redirecting her gaze, flashing a smile at Gilbert. “It is freezing out here with the snow. Let’s head inside, shall we?”

“Okay.” Gilbert nodded and gently supported her as they walked into the house.

Christopher’s heart raced as he saw the situation unfold before him. Desperately, he reached out and grabbed Kisa’s arm. “Kisa, please help me. I’ve lost everything. I know I’ve let you and your mother down, but I’m still your father. Won’t you help me out?” His voice trembled with emotion as he nearly fell to his knees.

Kisa fixed him with a steely gaze, her expression unyielding. “Help you? How exactly am I supposed to do that?”

Christopher hesitated for a moment before blurting out, “I need you to help me take back The Case Group from Adrien.”

Kisa let out a derisive laugh, shaking her head in disbelief. “You want me to help you take on Adrien, taking back The Case Group from him? Tell me, how am I supposed to do that?”

As Kisated, Christopher’s heart sank lower and lower. Days of depression and breakdown

had piled up and finally broke him. Suddenly, with bloodshot eyes, he shouted at Kisa, “I know you still hold a grudge against me from before and won’t help me! You’re just a treacherous person who turns your back on your family, just like your mother. I should have left you to starve on the streets instead of bringing you back to the Case family. You’re an ungrateful wretch, just like your mother!”

Kisa’s face turned completely cold, but her tone was unusually calm, “You’re right, I won’t help you. Mr. Tanner is very powerful and has everything. Why should I fight against him for you and your small Case Group? Don’t you have a good daughter named Sharon? Why don’t you go ask her for help? You’ve loved her for so many years, it’s time for her to give you some payback, isn’t it?” Kisa’s last two sentences dripped with sarcasm.

Christopher glared at her with eyes blazing red, a look that was far from the gaze of a father to a daughter, but Kisa did not care. She was used to it by now, knowing she would not see any in this man’s eyes, not even the fake kind. She brushed off Christopher’s hand, turned around, and went inside.

Christopher watched her back disappear into the house, seething with hatred and anger. Gilbert stood in front of him, his tone icy, “You have no right to hate her, nor do you have the right to demand anything from her, because she doesn’t owe you anything. Behave yourself and don’t cause any trouble, and I will take care of your retirement. But if you dare to have any wicked thoughts, don’t blame me for being heartless.” Gilbert’s voice was ominous, carrying a strong warning.

Christopher was genuinely scared, and his malicious expression softened a little. He stared at Gilbert who was walking into the house and watched the large door of the Kooper residence shut behind him before bursting into tears and covering his face.

Adrien sat in the car outside, watching the scene quietly, a smug and contented smile creeping onto his lips. ‘This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait for what’s next.’

“You, go call him up here,” he instructed.
