Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)
Chapter 48 You Really Are a Plague

Gilbert sneered and said, "You think they're targeting Ariella?"

"Heh, if not Ariella, could it be me?" Kisa was amused. She was just Ariella's assistant, an ugly one at that. There was no reason those people would go to all that trouble to catch her.

"You can call Ariella now and see if she is safe."

Kisa stared at him suspiciously. She hesitated. 'What if Ariella is hiding at the moment? Wouldn't I accidentally reveal her location by calling?'

As if reading her mind, Gilbert said, "Don't worry. If Ariella gets caught for this, I will save her."

"You said it. You'd better keep your word."

Gilbert was pissed and gave her a sidelong glance. 'Why doesn't this woman trust me? Do I look like a man who doesn't keep his word?'

Kisa was really worried about Ariella's safety. With Gilbert's assurance, she dialed Ariella's number, and it was quickly answered.

"Who are you? I'm telling you, that ugly woman has nothing to do with me, so you can kill her if you want. I don't have the money to pay for her, anyway."

Kisa heard that and could not help but roll her eyes. Does Ariella think those guys have caught me and are using me to demand a ransom? Tsk, she should not be an actress; she should be a screenwriter or something.'

"Ariella, it's me. Are you okay?" Kisa said, exasperated.

Ariella seemed relieved. "They didn't get you, did they?"

"No. Are you okay?"

"I'm alright. I'm back at the hotel," Ariella said, her tone of voice becoming suspicious. "It was strange that those people caught me and let me go after taking a look at me. They couldn't have caught the wrong person, could they?"

Kisa's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, which meant Ariella was not the target. She subconsciously looked at Gilbert, who was smirking.

"Hey, Ugly, could you be the target instead?" Ariella finally got smart for once.

Kisa hurriedly retorted. "How could it be? I'm so ugly. Why would they target me? Maybe they are after the wrong person."

Gilbert's smirk turned into a taunt.

Kisa bit her lip, her mind a muddle.

"That is right. You are so ugly, and those guys must be blind to go after you," Ariella said, yawning. "Okay, I'm going to bed. Don't come back tonight. Find yourself a place to settle down and save waking me up." With that, Ariella hung up.

Kisa clenched her phone tightly, unable to figure out why those people wanted to catch her. Thinking about everything that happened in the clubhouse, it became more and more likely that it was Anthony who sent those people. 'If so, then they have only one purpose, which is to provoke Gilbert. After all, Anthony used me to provoke Gilbert when we were in the private lounge.' Thinking of this, she looked at the man beside her with resentment.

Sensing her stare, Gilbert said, "Why are you looking at me like that? It is not me who wants to abduct you."

"Heh, you really are a plague." She could not think of a better description. She just felt she really had a bad day that she was being followed on her working trip.

When he heard the word "plague," Davian could not help but chuckle.

Gilbert lowered his eyes and hissed. Just then, he inadvertently saw her feet covered in bruises.
