Chapter 652 His Ruthless Revenge

“We’ve been busy trying to resuscitate you; I don’t know what’s going on in the Thompson family. But I was flipping through the newspaper the other day and saw a report stating that Emma had gone abroad again. I didn’t really read the news, though,” Davian replied.

“She’s abroad? Does she think that she can escape all this just by fleeing the country?” Gilbert chuckled coldly. The bloodthirsty look in his eyes made Davian and Kelvin tremble in fear.

“Kisa, Kisa… Have you read the news today?” That morning, Lea rushed into the room with a newspaper in her hands while Kisa was applying medicine to her injured ankle. She did not lock the door because she wanted to make it easier for Jensen to come in at any time. With a surprised look, Lea ran to Kisa in a few steps and placed one specific page of the newspaper in front of her.

Kisa wondered what the news was about since there had not been any major news in the entertainment section recently. She looked down at the paper with doubt.

[Mr. Thompson: Corruption and Investigated for Illegal Transactions, Century–Old Enterprise Destroyed]

[Thompson Family at the Verge of Bankruptcy. Daddy’s Girl, Emma Thompson, Out on the Streets Abroad. Top Wealthy Family Becomes Beggars Overnight]

The two huge headlines came into view. Even though Kisa had a stable temperament, she was still shocked when she read those words. ‘Although the Thompson family’s power is not as powerful as the Kooper family in Calthon, they are still rather influential. How could they be ruined overnight?‘ Kisa thought. She vaguely knew what happened, but she was not sure.

Lea quickly expressed her conjecture by saying, “Tell me, Kisa, did Mr. Kooper take revenge? Emma almost killed you. Is this his way of getting justice for you?” Kisa did not make a sound. Instead, she just silently scanned the content of the newspaper.

After a long while, Lea suddenly murmured, “If this really is Mr. Kooper’s way of revenge, I have no words. He’s so cruel. I can’t believe he ruined the reputation of her entire family.” When Lea finished saying that, her face turned pale as if she was frightened, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Kisa glanced at her, feeling all sorts of complex emotions.

“That’s Gilbert for you. His revenge methods have always been ruthless, and he is never soft–hearted toward anyone, even if it’s someone Mrs. Kooper Sr. likes. When we were back in Athadale, he discovered a few traitors among his subordinates. Do you know what he did to those traitors after we escaped from Anthony Mullen?”

Lea shook her head. “All I can say is that death is better than what he did to them.” Kisa did not elaborate any further. After hearing that, Lea’s face was pale, and she was too scared to speak. Kisa reached out to hold her hand and realized it was cold. “Don’t be afraid. He only takes his revenge on traitors or those who try to harm him. We’ll be fine if we just focus on our own thing and not provoke him,” Kisa said with a smile.

“But it’s clear that he cares about you, Kisa. He must’ve taken his revenge on Emma because of you.”

“Yeah, I think so too.” Kisa smiled. “But you don’t have to be afraid. You’re my best friend. You’ll never try to hurt me now, would you? There’s no way he can take his revenge on you.” Lea forced a smile and said, “Well, that’s true.”

“That’s of course, unless you try to hurt me someday.‘

“I would never,” Lea replied anxiously. “I would never hurt you, Kisa.”
