Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 99

"A maid in my family wanted to be a star, so she pretended to be my wife. The reason is so simple. Can't you all figure it out?"

What Gilbert said caused an uproar again.

Kisa still clutched the corner of her coat and stared at him incredulously, her scarlet eyes welling up. In her teary eyes, she saw the side of the man's cold, heartless face. 'He is putting all the blame on me and letting the media grill and shame me, isn't he?'

"Miss Watson, is what Mr. Kooper said true?"

"If what Mr. Kooper said is true, then what is Howard's relationship with you?"

"Do you want to hype Howard up besides yourself by staging such a show?"

"Or is it that Howard and you are working together and staging this act with the purpose of hyping each other up?"

"Miss Watson, may I ask if Howard and you are having an affair? You impersonated Mrs. Kooper to hype Howard up, didn't you?"

...

The reporters down the stage, one by one, aggressively hurled questions at her. Kisa felt her head buzzing and almost broke down. But Gilbert just watched the whole thing indifferently.

At that moment, Howard shouted at the reporters, "Stop hounding her! She is just a weak, skinny, poor woman. This news event is just an accident. She didn't plan it at all. She isn't that ambitious." As Howard came to her defense, the reporters turned their attention to him again.

"Howard, is it true that you have an affair with Miss Watson, as the rumors say, since you have been defending her so ardently?"
