Chapter 653 She Will Kill Everyone Around Her

Seeing that Lea was anxious and determined never to hurt her, Kisa felt a series of complex emotions again. She did not mean to scare Lea. She just wanted to remind her, and she definitely did not want them to become enemies in the future.

“I’m just kidding, Lea. Are you hungry? There’s food in the kitchen,” she said as she smiled and patted her shoulder. Lea gave her a serious look and walked into the kitchen. “Do you want something to eat?” she asked. ‘ No, I’m good, thanks,” Kisa replied, looking at Lea’s back and hoping that she understood what she was trying to convey.

At the Kooper residence, Mrs. Kooper Sr. went into Gilbert’s room angrily with a newspaper in her hand while Sharon was cutting up an apple for Gilbert. When she saw Mrs. Kooper Sr. rushing into the room, she quickly got up and backed away. Mrs. Kooper Sr. threw the newspaper in front of Gilbert and asked angrily, “Are you the one behind this?”

Gilbert nodded slightly and did not deny it. Mrs. Kooper Sr. was furious. “What did she do so bad that you had to take revenge on the Thompson family? Mrs. Thompson Sr. was my high school classmate, you know. You’re embarrassing me.”

Gilbert slowly tilted his head upwards to look at her and said, “Emma almost killed me. Was it wrong of me to take my revenge against her family?”

“The only reason you were stuck in that cave is that you went to save that b*tch,” Mrs. Kooper Sr. replied.

“Yeah. Emma only wanted to hurt Kisa, not you, Gilbert. You taking revenge on their family like this…”

“Go on,” Gilbert cast a gloomy look over at Sharon, and she shut up immediately, frightened to speak.

‘Gilbert is such a ruthless person. When I was younger, I had a crush on this man. I saw how much he cared about Kisa, and I wanted him all for myself. But now, he was nothing I imagined him to be. If he found out about all the things I’ve done in the past, I’d be dead.‘ Sharon shuddered at the thought of Gilbert taking revenge on her.

Gilbert opened up the newspaper and glanced at it casually. “There’s no need to be angry, Grandma. The Thompson family business is corrupted. Things would eventually come to this sooner or later. I just fast- forwarded everything. That’s all,” he said to Mrs. Kooper Sr.

“You still shouldn’t have done it. How am I supposed to face Mrs. Thompson Sr. after this?”

“Ha–ha. Grandma, her granddaughter tried to kill your grandson, and you’re still worried about your friendship with an old classmate?”

“Like I said, it’s not Emma’s fault you wanted to save that b*tch. I told you that b*tch was bad luck. She’ll kill everyone around her.”

Gilbert did not want to listen to his grandma’s words anymore, so he got into bed and turned his back to her.

Mrs. Kooper Sr. was so angry that she punched him, but when she thought of how he had indeed escaped death so nearly, she could not help but feel a little resentful toward Emma. “I’m not trying to protect her. I just think that you should stay away from that b*tch, Kisa, so that you can live your life safe and sound. I’ll feel much more assured that way. Do you understand that, Gilbert?” Mrs. Kooper Sr. said.

“Yeah, yeah,” Gilbert replied half–heartedly. Mrs. Kooper Sr. shook her head and sighed. “Rest up. It’s almost New Year. We’ll have a lively New Year’s Eve dinner with Ada and Andrew.”

“Mhm,” Gilbert replied again. Mrs. Kooper Sr. patted him warmly on the shoulder before walking out of the room. As soon as she left, Sharon felt a strange coldness in the air. With the half–cut apple in her hand, she could not sit still. More panic rose in her heart when she thought of what the Thompson family was going through. “Have a good rest, Gilbert. I’ll take my leave now,” she put the apple on the bedside table and whispered.

“Stop!”
