“I came here just to ask you, why did you suddenly have the intention to kill me?” Kisa dared not mention Adrien. She was afraid that Christopher would tell Adrien, and then Adrien would know that she was suspecting him. All the disguise and deceit she had done so far would be in vain.
Christopher did not answer. He hung his head low, as if thinking.
“I know you hate me, but now you have nothing. You can’t beat me. We have no grievances or enmity, and I don’t want to make things difficult for you. I’ll give you some money. Tomorrow, leave here by boat and don’t interfere with Carolyn and my life anymore. Also, it’s best not to mention me in front of Kisa. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee the safety of your darling Sharon.”
Adrien’s words echoed in his ears.
Adrien had spoken in a low and friendly tone, but Christopher was not a fool. He understood the subtle warning clearly.
His attempt to kill Kisa had just been a momentary impulse of anger. He resented her for being ungrateful and teaming up with outsiders to harm him. But he regretted it now; he should have left Calthon with that money in the first place. But now things had happened, and it was too late for regrets.
He looked up at Kisa and suddenly played the family card, “Kisa, I know I was wrong. Will your forgive me? Will you and Gilbert withdraw the lawsuit and spare me?”
Looking at the man in front of her suddenly changing his attitude, Kisa remained unmoved. She spoke each word coldly, “Tell me why you wanted to kill me, and I will withdraw the lawsuit.”
“Why else?” Christopher said angrily, “I am your father, and you, as the CEO’s wife of the mighty GK, are unwilling to help me, and even instigate others to harm me. Do you think I shouldn’t kill you?”
“Instigate others?” Kisa sneered, “Who told you that?”
“Why would I need someone to tell me? You’ve been holding a grudge against me because of your mother’s affair, always wanting to take revenge on me. Did you think I didn’t know? Now that I’m down and out, are you finally happy?”
Kisa’s expression turned dark as Christopher refused to mention Adrien’s name, almost as if he was being threatened by Adrien. She had hoped that if he brought up Adrien, she could ask him about their relationship and any grudges they might have had. But now that Christopher refused to speak about Adrien, she felt like she had no reason to ask.
She looked at Christopher, realizing that she could not ask anything more, and stood up to leave But Christopher snapped, shouting at her, “You ungrateful wretch! If you don’t drop the charges, you will be struck down by divine retribution. You’ll face the consequences!”
Kisa’s lip curled in a cold sneer. “If anyone’s going to be struck down, it should be Sharon,” she retorted. At that moment, she could hardly believe that Christopher was her father. They say that a tiger doesn’t eat its own cubs, but Christopher was proving to be an exception.
She ignored Christopher’s angry outburst and walked out without looking back.
“Kisa, come back! You must drop the charges. I’m your father, your biological father!”
As she reached the door, Kisa could still hear Christopher’s mournful wailing. She looked up at the blue sky, feeling no emotional fluctuations. She thought to herself, if only her mother was still alive.
After getting into the car, Davian asked, “Mrs. Kooper, are you going back home now?”
“To the hospital.”
Davian looked panicked. “What is wrong, Mrs. Kooper? Are you feeling unwell?”
“No, I just want to do a pregnancy checkup.”
Davian breathed a small sigh of relief. As he started the car, he quietly sent a message to Gilbert.
