The Prelude to the Storm
Sharon chimed in from the side.
“It is not impossible. That woman always likes to flaunt herself.”
She laughed sarcastically and turned to Adrien. “Uncle Adrien, my mom divorced my dad solely for you
this time, and we even offered our sincere gift of The Case Group’s shares as a dowry for You’d better
give my mom a proper title soon.”
Carolyn pouted and whined, “Yeah, if you don’t marry me soon, I will become a laughingstock.”
Adrien smiled, his lips curling up. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.” But his eyes had a hint of
coldness. “After I take a trip to Oceanville, I will give you a wedding of the century.”
His passionate promise was like poppy, causing countless women to be mesmerized and lost in a
dreamy haze. Carolyn was immediately enchanted, her face full of sweetness, forgetting all about
questioning Adrien about Kisa.
Since returning to the Kooper residence, Kisa had been sleeping restlessly. Although nothing had
happened, everything seemed too calm, and she had a feeling that something bad was going to
happen. It was like the calm before a storm.
These few days, she had been especially sleepy, waiting for the man to return to the room every night
but always falling asleep before he arrived. When she woke up in the morning, the space beside her
was empty, and she was not sure if he had returned.
Another night, Kisa woke up from a nightmare. She instinctively reached for Gilbert, but the space
beside her was empty. He had not come back. A gust of cold wind blew in, and she shivered, unable to
sleep.
She turned on the bedside lamp and checked the time. It was already past midnight. The window was
not closed tightly, and the cold wind kept rushing in. Kisa put on a thick robe and got up to close the
window. When she looked outside, she realized it was already snowing. She hated rain, but for some
reason she liked snow. She reached out to catch the snowflakes, but they melted as soon as they
landed on her palm.
The snow had come early this year. The tiny snowflakes danced in the night sky, creating an ethereal
scene.
As she lowered her gaze for a moment, she caught sight of two figures downstairs. Upon closer look,
she realized it was none other than Gilbert and Christopher. Gilbert stood tall, cigarette in hand, smoke
swirling around his wrist. Since he was facing away from her, she could not see his facial expressions
clearly.
Christopher had aged significantly since she last saw him before her departure to Athadale. Maybe it
was the divorce from Carolyn that had taken its toll on him. Kisa had heard about Christopher’s divorce
from Carolyn. Apparently, Carolyn had sent a woman to Christopher’s bed to catch him in the act and
put on a show for the media to get a bigger share of his assets. Watching Christopher looking dejected
and distressed below made Kisa feel a mix of emotions. Her sadness was only due to the irremovable
blood relationship she had with Christopher. It would be much better without that blood relationship.
“Mr. Kooper, please, for Kisa’s sake, can you help me get The Case Group back?”
Most of The Case Group’s shares had ended up in Adrien’s hands, and he had quickly acquired the
company. Christopher could not even put up a fight. The company’s name had even been changed
under Adrien’s ownership. Although Adrien had allowed him to remain in the company, he had no real
power left. He felt regret and resentment and had even reached out to his daughter Sharon, but she
had turned him away, calling him a weak and useless father.
In the end, he could only come to Kisa for help.
Gilbert puffed smoke rings, his tone nonchalant, “Sorry, I can’t help you.”
“How can you not help? You are so capable, you…” Christopher’s eyes suddenly fixated behind Gilbert.
