Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)
Chapter 32 She Lost the Bet

"Davian, drive."

He spelled out the words as she stared at Kisa's angry, stubborn, and pale face.

Davian was dilemmatic. "But Miss Becker is still in the way."

Gilbert sneered. "Drive, and I will take the blame if anything happens."

"But-"

"One more word of nonsense from you, and you will be out of the job."

Davian instantly shut up and glanced at Kisa in a predicament, then closed his eyes and stepped on the gas pedal with gritted teeth. 'This couple really wants to kill each other when they argue. Mrs. Kooper, this is an order from Mr. Kooper. Please don't blame me,' Davian thought to himself.

The moment the car lunged forward, he could not help but open his eyes and replace Kisa still blocking the front of the car. He screamed in terror as the car was about to hit Kisa. But in the nick of time, someone sprang out and pulled Kisa to the side as the car whizzed. Davian sighed a big sigh of relief. By the time he came out of shock, he had been sweating profusely.

"Mr. Kooper, M-Miss Becker isn't even afraid of death."

When Davian did not hear a response, he subconsciously looked back at the seat beside him and found Gilbert staring dead in the rearview mirror. He could not help but glance in the rearview mirror again and saw a handsome man with a clean-cut look hugging Kisa. 'Whew, that should be the man who just saved Mrs. Kooper.' He was in a cold sweat when he thought of how Kisa had just blocked the front of the car

"Heh, she could even risk her life for a man she only met a short while ago." Gilbert suddenly sneered with frosty eyes. "No wonder she refused the 100 million dollars earlier and stayed on the set even though she was being bossed around by Ariella. It must be for that man."

Davian pursed his lips, not daring to utter a sound. Gilbert's voice reeked of jealousy, but he might not be aware of it himself.

Kisa's heart was pounding. When she realized she had just gambled with her life, that Gilbert would stop, and she lost. There was no wonder. Since Gilbert hated her so much that he wanted her dead, there was no way he would care if she lived or died. When she thought about it, she found it ridiculous that she put he life at risk.

"What the hell were you doing?" Howard stared at her with a frown, his tone reproachful. "It is just a role. Why would you put your life on the line for me?"

"I'm not doing it for you," Kisa said in a low voice. "He is clearly taking revenge on me. I'm the one who dragged you into this. Don't worry. No matter what, I won't let you lose this role." She did not want to involve anyone, especially those who were kind to her.

A light flashed in Howard's eyes, and he said carefully, "You said Mr. Kooper was taking revenge on you? You and he—"

"Give me two days, and I will definitely get you back on this role," Kisa said with determination. Even though she now looked not so pleasing to the eyes, her eyes were sparklingly bright when she spoke. Howard was startled, and then he smiled. "Okay, then I will wait for you, but promise me you will only do your best and not do anything to hurt yourself again."

Kisa nodded and looked at him suspiciously. "Why are you so nice to me?"

Howard's eyes flashed for a moment, and he spoke only after a long silence. "I have a sister who looks very much like you."

"Really?" Kisa was a little surprised.

Howard's face sank all of a sudden, and he said in a low voice, "She is no longer here."

"I-I'm so sorry." Kisa hurriedly apologized and did not dare to ask any more questions.

When she returned to the Kooper residence in the evening, Gilbert and Sharon sat in the living room.

"Kisa, you're back. Come and see what I've brought you," Sharon said.
