His words startled Anthony. 'Could I be wrong? This ugly woman is not the same woman back then, and she and Gilbert also have no relationship? But if there is no relationship, then why does Gilbert want to drink on this woman's behalf? The Gilbert I know is no saint. When has he become so kind-hearted?'
Taking advantage of Anthony's daze, Kisa hurriedly broke away from his embrace. Her cheeks were flushed with shame and anger, her clear eyes wet and sultry as she stared at Gilbert.
But Gilbert pretended not to see her. Instead, he smiled slyly at Anthony. "I can't believe that you are into such an ugly woman. It is really shocking. Those who aren't in the know might think you have never touched a woman before."
Several dudes immediately covered their mouths and snickered. A few beautiful actresses also laughed quietly at the side, looking at Kisa with contempt. Anthony's face sank, a tinge of viciousness gradually appearing in his slightly narrowed eyes.
Seeing that Kisa was tutted over, Ariella thought that the opportunity had come and hurriedly held Anthony's arm with a flattering smile. "Exactly, Mr. Mullen. My assistant is so ugly. So why do you want her? Why don't you look at me—"
"Get lost!"
Ariella hurriedly shut up at his shouting, and the smiles on the faces of several other actresses also froze. None dared to speak.
Meanwhile, Gilbert lowered his eyes with a smirk. He slowly and methodically picked up the glass of wine in front of Kisa and knocked back at once, then chuckled. "You shouldn't think that I'm also into her just because I drank this glass of wine for this ugly woman, should you?"
