Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 1444
‘If the car accident from yesterday was indeed Adrien’s doing, then it had to have been a twisted test of Gilbert’s love for me. But
why bring Christopher into the mix? Christopher is his enemy, someone far harder to control than someone on his own team. If
the only purpose was to test Gilbert, Adrien could have easily commanded one of his own people to do it.’
‘So, why Christopher? Could it be that Adrien had a more personal score to settle with Christopher, and testing Gilbert was just a
side show? It seems this is just the beginning of Adrien’s nefarious schemes. It was clear that he had ulterior motives when he
first approached Carolyn. And now, he has the whole of The Case Group in the palm of his hand. Everything seems like it’s part
of Adrien’s sick revenge plot against Christopher. But what could Christopher have done to Adrien to warrant such an elaborate,
over-the-top retaliation?”
Kisa was deep in thought.
In the afternoon, Kisa was heading to the detention center, escorted by Davian. “Mrs. Kooper, I’m at your service. If you want to
go anywhere, just tell me, and I’ll take you there.”
Kisa raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t things busy at the company? Doesn’t Gilbert need your help?”
“The company isn’t busy right now,” Davian said.
“If it is not busy, then why can’t Gilbert find time to see me?”.
Davian hesitated.
“I bet he doesn’t want to see me,” Kisa muttered sullenly.
Davian’s mouth hung open, unsure of what to say. He had only been informed by Gilbert earlier this morning that he would be
staying at the company for the time being. So, Kisa’s guess was spot on-Gilbert really did not want to see her.
The car pulled up to the entrance of the detention center. Davian turned to Kisa and said, “Mrs. Kooper, only one person can go
in. Please go ahead, and if you need anything, just call for me out loud.”
“Okay.” Kisa responded as she turned and walked into the detention center. She waited at the visitation area for a while, and
soon saw Christopher being led toward her. His eyes were bloodshot, and the look he gave her was one of pure hatred.

“What are you doing here, you two-faced scoundrel?” Christopher immediately launched into a vicious verbal attack as he
approached her. Thankfully, there was a glass panel between them, or Kisa would have suspected he might have come at her
physically.
Kisa just calmly watched him. This man was usually cowardly and pathetic, but now that he had lost everything, he suddenly had
some backbone. She felt a mix of irony and sadness.
She asked Christopher, “What if it was Sharon who came to see you?”
As she mentioned Sharon’s name, Christopher’s eyes softened slightly. Kisa wanted to laugh bitterly.
“Unfortunately, your beloved daughter is now calling another man her father!”
“Shut up!” Christopher suddenly slammed his fists on the table. The police officer nearby warned him with a stern whack of his
baton, and he quieted down a bit.
Kisa’s eyes were filled with sarcasm.
“Why do you want to kill me? If you are looking to blame someone for your misfortunes, it was Sharon and Carolyn who ruined
your life. Why don’t you go after them instead? I’ve never done anything wrong to you. Even if you were heartless toward me,
because of our blood ties, I’d still take care of you in your old age. And even when you pass away, I’d still make sure you are laid
to rest with respect. But you, you actually want to kill me?”
“Heh, heh, heh... how righteous of you,” Christopher sneered. “You are just like your mother, a hypocrite. Your mother promised
to live a happy life with me, but in the end, she cheated on me behind my back. You and your mother are just a pair of sl*ts!”
“Enough! You have no right to talk about my mother like that!” Kisa’s chest heaved as she tried to contain her rage and sadness.
Her mother’s life had been practically ruined by Christopher and Carolyn, and she could not bear to hear him insult her like that.
She gathered her composure and looked at him coldly.
