Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 98

Anthony's sinister smile froze. 'What happened? Didn't Sharon say Gilbert would admit in front of the press that the woman was the wife of GK's CEO? How come he suddenly denied it?'

The moment Gilbert said that, a commotion started at the scene. After everyone had finally quieted down, someone asked another question.

"What proof does Mr. Kooper have that she isn't your wife?"

"Do I need to prove it?" Gilbert looked at the reporter under the stage and chuckled. "Don't I recognize my wife?" He was clearly smiling, but the icy look in his eyes made the reporter not dare to question him anymore.

After a moment of silence, someone else asked a question.

"There is a rumor that Miss Watson and Howard are paid and the entire thing is staged because you want to promote GK Pictures and its drama. How do you explain that, Mr. Kooper?"

Gilbert laughed and said casually, "Do you think with the strength of GK Pictures, there is a need to use this kind of dirty tricks to hype my company and the drama? How stupid am I to risk my and my wife's reputation, or you the ones who are stupid? I can't believe that you even asked me such a question."

"Absolutely. Everyone is aware of GK Pictures's strength. I, Sharon, guarantee with my reputation today that Mr. Kooper has not used such tactics to hype things up." Sharon spoke softly and firmly, as if the two of them were there for each other in weal and woe. One was a CEO, the other was an international superstar; the reporters dared not question their words, and instead diverted their questions at Kisa, who had said nothing so far.

"Miss Watson, may I ask why you are impersonating the wife of GK Pictures's CEO? Are you doing this to hype yourself up so you can become a star?"

Kisa clutched her hands, not knowing how to answer.

If she denied she was Kisa, it would confirm their claim that she was impersonating the wife of GK Pictures's CEO, and the media would have a field day. But if she firmly admitted that she was Kisa, it would be a slap in Gilbert's face.

"Miss Watson, please answer why you are pretending to be the wife of GK Pictures's CEO, and deliberately have an affair with Howard?"

"I didn't. I didn't impersonate the wife of GK Pictures's CEO, nor did I have an affair with Howard." Kisa could only answer in this way when facing the reporters' questions.

But those reporters would not give up easily. They scrambled to ask more questions.

"Mr. Kooper has already clarified that you are not his wife, but you firmly revealed to the media that you are the wife of GK Pictures's CEO. What is this if not a fake?"

"I didn't. I revealed nothing to the media. Someone slandered me."

"Then may I ask, Miss Watson, is there any evidence to prove that someone slandered you?"

At that moment, a man pointed at her and said, "Miss Watson, you were the one who came to our newspaper office that day and said you were the wife of GK Pictures's CEO. Have you forgotten?"

Kisa looked toward the voice and saw Anthony, who was not far away. Anthony was also looking at her with a grim, playful smile. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a chill creeping up her spine. It turned out that this was all Anthony's doing, and she knew he would not leave her alone. But one thing she never expected was that Anthony would come all the way from Athadale to Calthon to get back at her.

"Miss Watson, someone has already proved that it was you who leaked the news to the media. How can you still defend yourself?"

"Miss Watson, please answer. What is your intention of impersonating the wife of GK Pictures's CEO?"

"Miss Watson, please answer."

"Miss Watson."

Facing the reporters' questions, Kisa clutched the corner of her coat, unable to utter a single word. It was still winter, but sweat was popping up on her forehead.

Just then, Gilbert suddenly fleered.
