Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 44

His words startled Anthony. 'Could I be wrong? This ugly woman is not the same woman back then, and she and Gilbert also have no relationship? But if there is no relationship, then why does Gilbert want to drink on this woman's behalf? The Gilbert I know is no saint. When has he become so kind-hearted?'

Taking advantage of Anthony's daze, Kisa hurriedly broke away from his embrace. Her cheeks were flushed with shame and anger, her clear eyes wet and sultry as she stared at Gilbert.

But Gilbert pretended not to see her. Instead, he smiled slyly at Anthony. "I can't believe that you are into such an ugly woman. It is really shocking. Those who aren't in the know might think you have never touched a woman before."

Several dudes immediately covered their mouths and snickered. A few beautiful actresses also laughed quietly at the side, looking at Kisa with contempt. Anthony's face sank, a tinge of viciousness gradually appearing in his slightly narrowed eyes.

Seeing that Kisa was tutted over, Ariella thought that the opportunity had come and hurriedly held Anthony's arm with a flattering smile. "Exactly, Mr. Mullen. My assistant is so ugly. So why do you want her? Why don't you look at me—"

"Get lost!"

Ariella hurriedly shut up at his shouting, and the smiles on the faces of several other actresses also froze. None dared to speak.

Meanwhile, Gilbert lowered his eyes with a smirk. He slowly and methodically picked up the glass of wine in front of Kisa and knocked back at once, then chuckled. "You shouldn't think that I'm also into her just because I drank this glass of wine for this ugly woman, should you?"

Anthony laughed hideously. "Of course not. You have a beauty like Sharon by your side, so this ugly woman will only spoil your appetite."

"It is good that you know that." Gilbert could not hide the disdain on his face. "I don't know how an ugly woman like this can be here. She is really a buzz killer."

Ariella hurriedly lowered her head and kept quiet.

Anthony shot Kisa a sinister glance and said with a grin, "Since she has spoiled your mood, I will just throw her out." With that, he unceremoniously kicked Kisa to the ground. "Get the hell out of here. You make us sick."

Kisa covered her sore waist with her hand, feeling like cursing. 'This guy is bonkers. One moment, he forced me to sit in his arms, and the next, he kicked me to the ground. He is bonkers.'

Everyone else saw what Anthony did and was all stunned. Gilbert was still sipping his wine and did not spare Kisa a glance as she limped past him with a painful back. Anthony chuckled at the sight, thinking that he had gotten it wrong at last.

Out of the room, Kisa could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She hunched her back, covering her painful part while walking. She sat down when she reached the corner at the end of the hallway. 'Anthony is really a ruthless guy. He almost broke my back. But as long as I can get out, the kick is worth it.' All she hoped for now was that Ariella would come out soon so that she could go back to the hotel and rest early.

The air in the hallway was so warm that she sat against the wall and dozed off. A moment later, she felt someone coming in her direction. Kisa half-opened her eyes and saw that it was Gilbert and Davian. She wondered if they were looking for her. She instantly became alert and struggled to stand up with the support of the wall.
