Sara did not seem angry upon hearing what they said. Instead, she responded with a loaded smile.
“I was merely sharing my genuine thoughts. Your reactions, however, seem like you’re trying to hide something.”
Gracie was laced with fury, and she raised her fist, ready to take a swing at Sara. Kisa held her back, lightly chuckling at Sara.
“We’re offering sincere advice, too-visit an eye doctor. With your level of blindness and constant blabber, you’re bound to get in
trouble.”
Off to the side, Kelvin tensely observed the women’s verbal sparring, worried it might escalate into a physical fight. Gilbert shook
his head, pulling Kelvin into a corner.
“You’ve only got yourself to blame.” Gilbert bluntly told Kelvin. Annoyed and feeling wronged, Kelvin shot back. ’You’re the one
who got mixed up with her. You wanted her gone for your wife’s sake, so I had to clean up after you. Are we even buddies
anymore?”
Gilbert eyed him skeptically. “She wanted to see your baby; how does that involve me?”
“Isn’t it because she wanted to take this opportunity to see you?” Gilbert, at a loss for words, replied, “She works at GK now; she
doesn’t need an excuse like this to see me.”
“I don’t care; you lured her in. Now go and put an end to this silent war.” Amused, Gilbert retorted. “If you hadn’t invited her, we
wouldn’t be having any problems.”
“But she begged me, tears streaming down her face, saying we’re all isolating her now. She spoke of her lifelong misfortune,
how everyone had abandoned her, and how she had suffered years of torment from David because of you. What else could I
have done?”
The tension skyrocketed as a heated argument erupted between Gracie and Sara. Grade’s fists were clenched, poised to strike,
but Kisa stepped in just in time to hold her back. With the possibility of reporters lurking nearby, an all-out brawl would surely
tarnish the Hoover family’s reputation.
In a state of panic, Kelvin grabbed Gilbert’s arm, pleading. “You’ve got to go and defuse the situation, now!”
Gilbert shot him a cold look. ’Why don’t you go?”
“If I do, I’ll be the one getting pummeled. Come on, bro, help me out here. Whatever trouble you face later, I’ll have your back.”
“Alright, but only if you stop glaring at Kisa and start treating her with respect.”
Kelvin gritted his teeth. ’You’re putting your love life above our friendship.”
“Are you in or not?”
As the conflict intensified, Grade’s face turned crimson with rage, her fists still clenched.
Kelvin gritted his teeth, saying, “Fine, I agree. I’ll do whatever you want.”
Gilbert chuckled, shaking his head before turning toward the feuding women. As their exchange grew more ferocious, Gilbert
suddenly moved behind Kisa, wrapping his arm around her affectionately. With a warm smile, he said, “Kisa, didn’t you get a
protection charm for Natasha?”
Snapping back to reality, Kisa quickly told Gracie. “Oh, that’s right! I went up the mountain yesterday to get a protection charm for
Natasha. I hope she’ll be healthy and safe throughout her life.”
She produced a protection charm from her pocket.
The charm miraculously diverted Grade’s anger. She gratefully accepted it, thanking Kisa, and fastened it to baby Natasha’s
clothing.
Sara, standing off to the side, squinted at Gilbert’s tender gesture toward Kisa.
Jealousy surged through her like wildfire. For so long, she had managed to conceal her true character, but lately, watching
everyone around her basking in happiness, even Kisa with her past sins, while she had nothing and had to submit to other men,
her jealousy became insufferable. She craved chaos and was even contemplating murder.
“Madam, are you going to hit my mommy?’
