Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 Raine, Look Out!

Kisa stood beside the rack like a sculpture. Her heart was pounding so hard, and her whole body went taut.

“Raine?” Suddenly, the person called her name when she was thinking of how to escape

“This voice sounds familiar, just like Howard’s voice. Is Howard here for Nicholas’s birthday celebration too?”

When the person came closer, Kisa could finally see his face clearly through the window light It’s really Howard.‘

“Why did you come up here?” Kisa was so shocked. ‘He is a celebrity now and has a

collaboration with Sharon. It makes sense that he is here for Nicholas’s birthday celebration. But why did he come up to the attic?‘

Howard frowned and looked anxious. “I accidentally saw you come up here when I was in the yard. I’m worried about you. You haven’t come back for such a long time. I’m afraid that you will face any danger, so I came up to take a look. Raine, what are you trying to do up here? This is the house of the Case family.”

Kisa did not answer him. She looked at him suspiciously. ‘I asked Lea to keep watch

downstairs. It’s impossible that Lea didn’t inform me if he came up. Besides, I had locked the door. How did he get in?‘

“You… have the key for this door?” she asked tentatively. She could not help but take precautions against him.

Howard hesitated a moment. “Key? What key? This door doesn’t need the key. The lock seems broken. I opened it with a twist.”

Kisa frowned after she heard it. She immediately rushed to the door and twisted the doorknob, which was really broken.

‘Did I accidentally break it when I was picking the lock?‘

Watching her disbelieving look, Howard instantly said sadly, “Raine, what happened? What are you suspecting me of?”

Kisa had a lot on her mind now. Her instinct knew something must be wrong with Howard’s suddenly appearing here. But she had no time to think about it now. ‘I have to leave as soon as possible. Whatever intrigue Sharon has, it will be pointless once I leave.‘

Instead of answering Howard’s question, she took the paper bag, hurried to the side of the cardboard box, and quickly put the things in the cardboard box into the paper bag.

Howard hurried to explain when he saw Kisa ignoring him. “I’m really worried about you. That’s why I came up to take a look. What are you suspecting me of?”

“No. I’m not suspecting you of anything. I just want to get away from here fast,” said Kisa without even looking at him.

Howard pursed his lips and watched her. He could not help but wonder and asked, “What are you doing right now? Is there any use for all these things?”

“I’ll explain to you later.” Kisa put the things into the paper bag even faster while saying it.

Howard stared at her with his ominous eyes for a while. Suddenly, he moved stealthily over to a bookcase. ‘This bookshelf is right in front of her. If it topples, it will surely hit her.‘ At that moment, his fist clenched, battling out some inner struggle.

However, when he thought of Sharon’s words, he squinted, and a ruthless look appeared on his face. Behind the bookshelf, he quietly reached out the bookshelf and then pushed hard…

“Raine, look out!” Howard shouted out immediately and pounced on her quickly.

Howard held Ksa and rolled on the floor when the bookshelf was about to hit her. The bookshelf pinned the cardboard box down with a crash.

Kisa was in shock. “What’s going on?”

“I saw the bookshelf shaking just now. I was worried it would fall before I could tell you about it, and it did. Are you okay?” Howard wrapped her underneath and asked with an anxious look. Kisa shook her head. Suddenly, the door was opened by someone when she pushed him away and was about to get up hastily.
