Chapter 102 Let Me Just Sleep It Off. The man said, throwing her off. âB*tch, I will let you live today, but there will be more to come.â
Kisa rolled on the ground, too sore to move. Suddenly, she felt a touch of iciness on her face;
apparently, it was snowing again. She stared blankly at the gray sky, feeling like her life was just as gray, without a trace of light. Kisa was so tired, completely exhausted. She wished she could sleep and wake up as a child again â living with her mother, never meeting Gilbert, without so much grief and despair. She thought how nice it would be if she was asleep, as she did not have to care about anything as pain and aggrievement would be gone. âSo go to sleep, just sleep it off, and I wonât have to suffer so much pain.â
âNo!â She opened her eyes and laughed out loud as she gouged the ground with her hands. âThe bad guys havenât been punished yet, and the man hasnât kneeled before me in remorse. So how can I resign myself to life? It is just a life, and I will fight even if I have to give up this life.â âLook, she is the woman who doesnât know what she is doing, pretending to be the wife of GK Picturesâs CEO.â
âTsk, she is really hideous. Who gave her the courage?â âThese days, some people are simply crazy about getting famous so much that they can do anything without limits.â
âExactly. She not only pretended to be the CEOâs wife but also claimed that she was having an affair with an actor. I wonder from where she got such confidence with that look. She doesnât have a bit of selfâawareness.â
Kisa staggered down the street, her ears filled with the ridicule and abuse of passersâby. But she did not seem to hear them, even when some of them viciously hurled things at her or deliberately bumped her to the ground.
As if she did not feel them, Kisa got up and kept walking. She wanted to take a taxi back to the Kooper residence, but no one was willing to take her, as if they would also be ridiculed and abused if they were seen involved with her.
âAre you blind or something? Or have you gone crazy trying to be the wife of a CEO?â An obese woman deliberately knocked her down and sarcastically accused her of being evil.
Kisa slumped down at the trash can, and the people gathered around and pointed at her either with a smirk or a curse. Kisa stared silently at their mocking laughter with a touch of irony at the corners of her lips. It turned out that it was not just Gilbert who was heartless, but the world was equally compassionless. The wind and snow were icy, but peopleâs ridicule and insults were even icier. Kisa hugged herself, trying to find a corner where no one was there to cry. But she realized she did not deserve it as she had not found out what had happened back then and so did not have the right to cry.
It was not until dark that Kisa arrived back at the Kooper residence gate. George saw her look like a wretch and wanted to say something. In the end, he still said nothing but sighed silently. Kisa dragged her aching body slowly into the house when she bumped into Davian.
Davian sighed at the sight of her with exasperation. âMrs. Kooper, not that I want to find fault with you;
why did you stand up and admit that you did it?â Kisa smiled upon hearing this. But this smile looked creepy to Davian. âYou guys planned to let me take the blame from the beginning, so who are you to say that about me now?â
Davian could not find a word to respond, but could only watch Kisa walking past him and heading upstairs.
The door to the study was open, and the smell of smoke was wafting out. Kisa walked slowly, step by step, to her room, as if her room was the safest, the most tolerant of all her vulnerabilities, the only way to maintain what little selfârespect she had. But that man wanted to cut open her vulnerability mercilessly, to trample her selfâesteem underfoot, to make her suffer all the pain and humiliation.
