Chapter 822 Every Move Is An Act

Kisa ignored Anthony and knelt down to help Lea up.

Anthony glanced at Kisa contemptuously. He then changed his expression to become sad as he pointed at Kisa and said to the crowd, "This woman was using her beauty against me. She kept winking at me, but when I came over and asked for a dance, she arrogantly rejected my invitation. How could she play with my feelings like that? How could she hint me to come over but refuse to dance with me? Don't you guys think that she's out of line?"

"It's not like that," Lea voiced out, seeming like she had something else to say. However, she immediately shut her mouth after Anthony glared at her fiercely.

The crowd started to burst into voices of discussion as journalists took pictures of Kisa and Anthony. Kisa tried her best to remain calm in that situation and looked at Anthony with no apparent expression on her face. "Mr. Mullen, what kind of nonsense are you spewing? With your status, I would feel honored if you invited me to dance. But the thing is, you didn't ask. You just kept standing in my way. My assistant tried to reason with you, but you pushed her to the ground. Tell me, who's the one who is out of line?" Kisa said with a wronged look on her face.

Anthony laughed angrily when he saw that she was pretending to be innocent. Wow. Just wow. As an A-list actor, every smile and frown on your face, every move you make, it's all an act, huh?" "Ha-ha. Is that an insult or a compliment, Mr. Mullen?"

Anthony grinned grimly and snorted, "Since you said you would be honored if I invited you to dance, let's dance so that everyone can enjoy your dancing skills." Kisa's eyes darkened. 'Is this dance really inevitable?' she thought.

Just as she was thinking of a way to reject him, a commotion broke out at the entrance of the event. Suddenly, everyone started looking toward the door. Throug the gaps in the crowd, Kisa saw an old man with a stern expression and an extraordinary temperament, surrounded by a row of bodyguards as he walked in. Th old man had a childlike face, making people unable to guess his exact age. As so as he entered the hall, everyone quieted down, which was enough to show that t man was of high status.

Moreover, Kisa noticed that Anthony's face turned pale and green after the old m entered the room. The arrogant and evil expression he had was no longer there.

Kisa could not help but suspect that the old man was someone from the Mullen

family.

'It's said that the only person that Anthony Mullen fears is the highly respected Mr. Mullen Sr. Could this old man be Mr. Mullen Sr.?'

The old man walked over to them when Kisa was still in her thoughts. He had a ruddy complexion, and his composure was steady.

"Dad..."

As soon as the old man came over, Anthony called out to him with respect. However, when he finished his words... SLAP! The old man raised his hand and gave Anthony a slap across the face. "Go back home right now, you disgrace."

Anthony clenched his hands. At that moment, his already sinister and gloomy expression looked even more terrifying. But he did not dare to disobey Mr. Mullen Sr., so he just gave Kisa a stern look and followed the Mullen family out of the room.

Following their leave, the event venue began to fill up with whispers and discussions about the Mullen family. After all, they were always the top talk of the town in Athadale. The charity event continued to run smoothly and ended at 11:00 p.m. after Anthony left.

It was almost 12:00 a.m. when Kisa returned to the hotel. When she entered the room and closed the door, she suddenly remembered Gilbert telling her to leave the door open for him. She thought about it for a short while and decided to leave the food ajar without locking it. The two floors they lived on were guarded by many bodyguards, so she was not afraid of people breaking into the room.

Kisa then went to the bathroom to change into some comfortable clothes and sat on the sofa by the window. Maybe it was because she was tired or because it was late; Kisa nestled on the sofa and fell asleep after some time. As she was sleeping, she vaguely felt a hot breath blowing on her face. She opened her eyes in a daze and was so shocked that she jumped off the sofa when she saw what was in front of her.
