As Christmas drew closer, Adrien’s club was buzzing more than ever. Kisa strutted straight to the VIP section. She had called Adrien before coming, so he was waiting for her in the lobby.
Besides Adrien, Carolyn and her daughter were also there, and they seemed to be practically glued to him. Everytime Kisa came around, they were all over him like white on rice. Carolyn was beaming with excitement, and Sharon was acting more snobbish than ever.
As soon as she spotted Kisa, she started sniping at her. ’Oh, I heard GK is about to bite the dust. You here to beg my dad for a lifeline?”
Kisa just chuckled and shot her a glance. “Did you fall and hit your head? Your daddy’s behind bars.”
“You!” Sharon glared at her, then wrapped her arms around Adrien’s, trying to be cute. “Daddy, look at her. She’s so rude.”
Adrien patted her hand and reassured her with a chuckle. “Relax, honey. I will deal with her later. You and your mom go have some fun. I need to talk to Kisa about some important business.’
“No way. What could you possibly have to discuss with her?”
Carolyn’s eyes flickered, and she grabbed Sharon’s arm. “Come on. Let’s go. Don’t interrupt your dad’s business.”
They found a quiet corner, and Carolyn whispered to Sharon, “I know you hate that bimbo, but we need to focus on the big picture. Do you know why GK is about to go belly up?”
Sharon shook her head, perplexed. “Why?”
“Because that tramp has been playing dirty. Whether your dad can take over GK depends on her. So just grit your teeth for now. Once your dad takes over, you can make her life a living hell.”
“Oh…” Sharon suddenly got it, and her eyes lit up with a mischievous gleam.
Kisa looked at Adrien and felt more and more convinced that he was a phony from start to finish. She did not spill the beans about his true identity, as she knew his real motives had not been revealed yet.
“So, did you have a good time in Oceanville?” Adrien asked, handing Kisa a drink.
She made an excuse that she had just gotten back and was not feeling too well, so she opted for juice instead of wine.
She nodded and grinned. “Oceanville’s got some great sights. I also stopped by to see Mrs. Tanner Sr. She is still alive and kicking, but I think she’s feeling a bit lonely. After you wrap up your business here, you should go pay her a visit.”
Adrien’s smile froze for a second before he responded. ’I’ll go see her after Carolyn and I tie the knot.”
When mentioning the wedding, Kisa acted surprised and said, “Wow, I never thought you and Aunt Carolyn were that serious. Looks like you are really head over heels for her.”
Adrien chuckled, but Kisa could not shake the feeling that his smile had a hint of mockery and disdain.
After a beat, he said with a smirk, “Your father’s going to be at Carolyn and my wedding, by the way.”
Kisa’s eyes widened in disbelief. “He is… he is not…”
“I took care of his little jail situation. He’ll be out in a few days. He is your biological father, after all. You don’t want him to spend the rest of his life behind bars, do you?” Adrien said.
Kisa clenched her fists, forcing a smile. “How thoughtful of you to consider my feelings.”
“It’s not just about you. I want him there to witness my big day with Carolyn. II
Adrien swirled his drink and smirked. “Plus, how could he miss his ex wife’s wedding?”
Kisa stared at him for a few seconds before finally saying, “Looks like GK is in hot water. Gilbert went straight to the company as soon as he got back.”
“Yup,” Adrien sighed. “Looks like he’s about to lose everything. You happy now?”
Kisa laughed. “Happy? Oh, you bet I am. Been waiting for that day for a while now. It’s just…”
