Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 56

"Hah. You're so keen to die just so that Howard would have his role back?"

Gilbert sneered while walking toward Kisa.

Just as she was about to respond, he spoke again.

"Let me tell you something: even if you actually die, I still won't give him the role."

Hearing this, Kisa gave up on explaining to him.

'He's so awful; he never keeps his words,' she thought.

In a fit of rage, Gilbert barged over and knocked Kisa back.

"If you want to die, go ahead. Just stop giving me any more trouble."

"I'm giving you trouble? " Kisa slammed the door angrily.

"Ask yourself this: who's the one causing trouble here at Athadale?" she continued shouting.

"You!" Gilbert retorted.

"Me?" Kisa asked.

"If you hadn't followed me to Athadale for Howard, we wouldn't have been spotted by Anthony. I also wouldn't be held back right now for trying to protect you. You're a burden."

"Me... A burden?" Kisa was furious.

"I wasn't following you! I was spotted by Anthony because of you! What's more, I don't need your protection. Do you think I like to be in hiding? I'll leave this very moment."

The frustration and anger within Kisa started to bubble up, making her tremble.

Then, she stormed out without a care in the world.

Behind her, Gilbert sneered coldly at her.

"If you really want to die, you can just jump. Stop using Anthony to threaten me."

Kisa laughed sardonically.

"You wish for my death, right? If Anthony does catch me and threatens you with my life, you don't need to save me—just leave me to die ."

"Hah! Do you think I'd care about you if it weren't for Ada and Andrew?"

Hearing this, Kisa froze. She did not know if she felt wronged or resentful, but tears started to well up in her eyes.
