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?”

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.”

She looked at Lea. “Who introduced you to the Case family as a temporary maid?”

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.”

“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 she felt powerless even to do so.
