Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 75

The man was no other than Howard. Without a word, he drew Kisa into his arms to protect her.

Kisa was too weak to resist and could just stare at him, dumbfounded. Her mind was a muddle, and she could not understand why reporters had suddenly taken pictures of her and Howard. She also did not know what their intention was in publishing such a news story. If it was just a means for a certain newspaper to shore up its circulation and make money, it still could not explain why they would suddenly target her and Howard. After all, no outsiders knew she was Gilbert's wife yet. She felt as if an invisible hand was pushing her into a trap, which would implicate many people, including Gilbert.

Because of Howard and Gilbert's presence, the reporters became even more frantic at asking all kinds of aggressive questions. But Gilbert just kept a cool eye on everything.

Howard said to the reporters, "Please don't make things difficult for Miss Watson. She and I are just friends, and we are only working together on the set. It is normal for us to take care of each other."

"We know she is Ariella's assistant, and you and her don't have a direct working relationship. Yet there were people on the set who saw you guys behave intimately. How do you explain that?"

"Besides, she is also the maid of the Kooper family. Did you approach her for any other reason?"

Gilbert stared at Howard and sneered, as if he had seen through everything.

Seeing Gilbert grimace, Howard's heart skipped a beat. But he still calmly said to the reporters, "First, I did not know that Miss Watson is the Kooper family maid; in fact, the people on the set probably misunderstood, because Miss Watson resembles my deceased sister, so I took extra care of her. I hope the media will stop making things up."

But those reporters were still relentless. When Howard saw Kisa's expression, he hurriedly brought her to leave. "Sorry, Miss Watson is not feeling well. Please ask next time if you have questions."
