Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 Can You Have One True Word Out Of Your Mouth?

A dim wall lamp illuminated the room.

Gilbert was digging his hands into his pants pockets, standing quietly in front of the window with his back to her, looking a bit lonesome.

She wrung her hands as she walked over to him nervously. “Gilbert, w will you listen to my explanation?”

He said nothing. There was only silence in the air.

She pursed her lips and whispered, “It was Sharon who set me up. I didn’t fool around with. Howard. I was in the loft of the Case residence, just trying to get my mother’s belongings back.

Gilbert finally turned around and looked at her quietly, his look of disappointment and disgust hurting Kisa.

She bit her lip, holding back the sadness that swept through her. “The only reason I went to the Case residence and dressed as a maid was to get my mother’s belongings back, but Sharon and Anthony had already set this up. They bribed Howard to play the part on purpose.

“What I saw was that he had you pinned down.” Gilbert looked at her, his lips curled in a faint smile, but his eyes were extremely icy.

Kisa shook her head vigorously. “It was Howard who deliberately knocked down the bookshelf and then made it look as if we had something between us. But actually, nothing happened between me and him.”

Gilbert shook his head and laughed, his tone full of disappointment and weariness. “Stop being sophomoric, okay? Can you have one true word out of your mouth?”

Kisa clutched the hem of her clothes, her vision blurring with a lump in her throat. ‘He really doesn’t believe me. No matter what I say, he won’t believe me.‘

“I warned you not to go anywhere today. Why wouldn’t you listen to me?” He walked up to her and said with hatred, “Are you happy now? Are you satisfied that you have paved the way for the man you love and made me and GK Pictures a laughingstock?”

Kisa shook her head repeatedly. “I didn’t. It was Sharon

”

“That’s enough,” Gilbert shouted. “Why do you do such a shameless thing and still want to accuse others? You say it was Sharon who set you up, then how do you explain Christopher and Carolyn? Would they rather harm the reputation of the Case family in order to set you up? Do you think it is something honorable for you as a member of the Case family to fool around with men in the attic of the Case residence?”

The man’s rebuke stabbed into her heart like a knife. She choked out a reply. “That is the truth. Why don’t you believe it?”

Gilbert shook his head in disappointment. “You made me a cuckold in front of the media to hype the man you love, and damaged GK Pictures’s reputation. You can love that man for all you want. But why do you have to drag me and GK Pictures into it? Do you really think I won’t dare to do anything to you?” His eyes gradually turned scarlet as he went aggressive.

Kisa wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and choked. “Since you don’t believe me, I have nothing to say. I admit that I have caused GK Pictures into disrepute. I will do anything to help restore GK Pictures’s reputation.”

“No need,” Gilbert yelled abruptly, and then sneered. “Do you think it is really GK Pictures’s reputation that I care about?” He took one step closer to her. “Because of you, I have become a laughingstock of the entire Calthon. Do you know what those people are saying about me behind my back?” The look in his eyes was terrifying.

Kisa subconsciously stepped back, her heart trembling.

“They say I’m a wet noodle who can’t even satisfy an ugly woman like you, that I’m not as good as Howard, that I can’t please you,” he whispered.

“W–What are you going to do?” Kisa’s voice trembled.

He approached slowly, and she stepped back, finally backing up against the edge of the bed and she fell sitting on the bed.
