Chapter 136 The Trap Has Been Laid Long Ago After something like this happened, she could believe no one now and did not even dare to think any further.
Lea was terrified by the scarlet look in her eyes. âKisa, whatâs wrong with you?â
âDid you see Howard when he went up there?â
Lea subconsciously shook her head. âI listened to you and hid in that corner. I didnât see Howard go up until Sharon went up with many guests. Not only Howard, but no one else went up there.â Lea looked sincere.
If what Lea said was true, then Howard and the press had been hiding upstairs from the beginning, waiting for her to appear. In other words, the trap had already been laid. Whether she disguised as a maid or not, and whether Sharon discovered her whereabouts, as long as she wanted to get back her motherâs belongings, she would fall into this trap.
A chill ran up in her spine as she thought about this. It turned out that no matter what, she was always in the open and the trap was always in the dark.
She wrapped her arms around her knees helplessly as she kept blaming herself. âIf I hadnât been so desperate to get back my motherâs belongings, I wouldnât have been used by Sharon and Anthony.
What should I do now? What can I do to restore GK Picturesâs reputation? If Mrs. Kooper Sr. were still awake, she would be disappointed in me.â The more she thought about it, the more upset she became, and tears of helplessness and remorse fell involuntarily.
Seeing this, Lea put her arms around her and cried. âIâm sorry. Itâs my fault. I shouldnât have let you take up this temporary job.â
The mention of this temporary maid job puzzled Kisa again. After all, Lea had never taken on any private work. So she wondered why the two temporary maids had failed to show up and Lea and she were the replacement. It seemed that someone had prearranged the coincidence. She looked at Lea.
âWho introduced you to the Case family as a temporary maid?â
âA friend of mine,â Lea said.
Kisa wanted to find out more about Leaâs friend, so she asked, âWhat friend? Do you contact information?â
have Leaâs expression suddenly changed, as if she was hiding something. âJâJust one of my regulars. He told me verbally, I donât have his contact information.â
Kisa thought she was ashamed of her occupation, so she did not ask further.
Just then, Lea suddenly pursed her lips and looked at her with strange eyes. âI just found out you are the same Kisa, the former Missy of the Case family, the wife of Gilbert.â
now that âI didnât mean to hide it from you. It is just that there are things I canât look back on.â
Lea shook her head in panic. âIâm not blaming you. I just didnât expect that my good friend was once a member of a powerful family.â
âPeople in the gentry may not be as happy as you are,â Kisa said in a serious tone, her eyes glancing at the darkness outside the window anxiously. After such an incident, she could not sit still. She had to explain to Gilbert and ask him what to do next.
She learned from Davian that Gilbert was not returning to The Sandy Bay tonight, but to the Kooper residence. When she arrived at the Kooper residence, the courtyard was dark, except for a faint light coming from Gilbertâs room on the second floor. George opened the door for her, but he said nothing and went back to his room afterward Kisa pursed her lips, her eyes. reddening. She knew that even George was disappointed in her. Kisa wanted to explain, but she was the cause of this incident, and she felt powerless even to do so.
