Chapter 136 The Trap Has Been Laid Long Ago
After something like this happened, she could believe no one now and did not even dare to think any
further.
Lea was terrified by the scarlet look in her eyes. “Kisa, what’s wrong with you?”
“Did you see Howard when he went up
there?”
Lea subconsciously shook her head. “I listened to you and hid in that corner. I didn’t see Howard
go up until Sharon went up with many guests. Not only Howard, but no one else went up there.” Lea
looked sincere.
If what Lea said was true, then Howard and the press had been hiding upstairs from the beginning,
waiting for her to appear. In other words, the trap had already been laid. Whether she disguised as a
maid or not, and whether Sharon discovered her whereabouts, as long as she wanted to get back her
mother’s belongings, she would fall into this trap.
A chill ran up in her spine as she thought about this. It turned out that no matter what, she was always
in the open and the trap was always in the dark.
She wrapped her arms around her knees helplessly as she kept blaming herself. ‘If I hadn’t been so
desperate to get back my mother’s belongings, I wouldn’t have been used by Sharon and Anthony.
What should I do now? What can I do to restore GK Pictures’s reputation? If Mrs. Kooper Sr. were still
awake, she would be disappointed in me.‘ The more she thought about it, the more upset she became,
and tears of helplessness and remorse fell involuntarily.
Seeing this, Lea put her arms around her and cried. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have let you
take up this temporary job.”
The mention of this temporary maid job puzzled Kisa again. After all, Lea had never taken on any
private work. So she wondered why the two temporary maids had failed to show up and Lea and she
were the replacement. It seemed that someone had prearranged the coincidence. She looked at Lea.
“Who introduced you to the Case family as a temporary maid?”
“A friend of mine,” Lea said.
Kisa wanted to find out more about Lea’s friend, so she asked, “What friend? Do you contact
information?”
have
Lea’s expression suddenly changed, as if she was hiding something. “J–Just one of my regulars. He
told me verbally, I don’t have his contact information.”
Kisa thought she was ashamed of her occupation, so she did not ask further.
Just then, Lea suddenly pursed her lips and looked at her with strange eyes. “I just found out
you are the same Kisa, the former Missy of the Case family, the wife of Gilbert.”
now that
“I didn’t mean to hide it from you. It is just that there are things I can’t look back on.”
Lea shook her head in panic. “I’m not blaming you. I just didn’t expect that my good friend was once a
member of a powerful family.”
“People in the gentry may not be as happy as you are,” Kisa said in a serious tone, her eyes glancing
at the darkness outside the window anxiously. After such an incident, she could not sit still. She had to
explain to Gilbert and ask him what to do next.
She learned from Davian that Gilbert was not returning to The Sandy Bay tonight, but to the Kooper
residence. When she arrived at the Kooper residence, the courtyard was dark, except for a faint light
coming from Gilbert’s room on the second floor. George opened the door for her, but he said nothing
and went back to his room afterward Kisa pursed her lips, her eyes. reddening. She knew that even
George was disappointed in her. Kisa wanted to explain, but she was the cause of this incident, and
