Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254 If I Don’t Protect Him, Who Will?

Jensen knew she was talking about Kisa. He was silent as he poured Madalyn a glass of water. Madalyn snickered as she glanced around the rooms with her cane. “Is that woman out?”

any

‘It seems that Madalyn really thought he was living with Kisa.‘ Jensen did not offer explanation, and he just asked, “I wonder why Grandma wants to see me at this hour?”

Madalyn sat down on the couch with a touch of sternness on her hoary face. “About me sending you out of the country back then. Did you say something about that to Gilbert?” Jensen’s grip on the glass tightened, and he smiled sarcastically. “Huh? Did Gilbert ask you?” “Humph! I just wanted to remind you; since you promised me to tell Gilbert that you left the country voluntarily, stop saying anything about it in front of Gilbert.”

Jensen looked down with a gentle smile at the glass of water in his hand, but his eyes were icy. He sneered and said, “Grandma, you have protected him so well.”

“His parents died when he was young. If I don’t protect him, who will?”

“And what about me?” Jensen looked at her with a faint smile. His voice is lukewarm with a hint of unconcern.

But as Madalyn listened, it became offensive to her. “You…” She squeezed her cane tightly and said in a deep voice, “You are Gilbert’s elder brother, and you can live well abroad, not to mention your father is still alive.”

“My father? Heh…”

Madalyn did not even know what to say upon seeing Jensen’s sarcastic laugh. For her, Gilbert was the most important thing of all. She could sacrifice everything, as long as her precious grandson was well. She looked away and said, “Your father’s mother, who is your own grandmother, was sinister and deliberately set your grandfather up to conceive your father. After your own grandmother was sent away by your grandfather, I pitied your father and took him as my own child and raised him well. I didn’t expect that he would bite the hand that fed him by repeatedly framing your second uncle, trying to usurp the Kooper family’s property. I was afraid that you might follow in the footsteps of your father, so I sent you away as a young boy. In fact, I have been kind to you and your father. You shouldn’t hate me.”

“Yeah, I don’t.” Jensen smiled faintly, but all that flashed through his mind was the image of being bullied in a foreign country.

“So, Jensen, I hope you won’t say anything more to Gilbert about your leaving the country.”

“Don’t worry. Back then, it was me who left the country voluntarily, and it had nothing to do with you.”

It was only after what Jensen said did Madalyn nod her head in satisfaction, with an avuncular look on her wrinkled face.

“This place is shabby. Return to the Kooper residence with me, Jensen.”

Jensen smiled and shook his head. “It is nice here. I enjoy living here.” He never wanted to go back to the Kooper residence, the place where he had once felt so happy, and now so full of irony.

Madalyn’s face darkened, as she just thought he could not let go of Kisa. “You can’t let go of that b*tch, can you?”

Jensen stared at the water in his glass, not uttering a sound.

Madalyn stomped her cane on the floor. “That bitch is a scourge. She set Gilbert up to become the wife of GK’s CEO. Jensen, take my advice; that woman is not a good person. Don’t be with her, lest she will draw a wedge between you and Gilbert.”
