Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 1561

A figure stood at the archway, a cigarette nonchalantly hanging from his lips.His mouth was twisted into a cunning, enigmatic smirk, belying his seemingly refined appearance.

Framed by a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes harbored a wicked glint, revealing his true, sinister nature.This man was none other than Shaun.It seemed as though he had come with a purpose, seeking out Kisa.

Spotting her from afar, he waved at her, beckoning her to approach.

Kisa patted Gracie's back, urging her to find her calm, before walking toward Shaun.

They were at the Hoover residence, a place where Shaun likely would not dare to engage in any underhanded schemes.

As she approached, Shaun turned and walked inside, as if enticing her to follow him somewhere.

Beyond the archway lay a stairway, which Shaun ascended.

Most of the guests were in the foyer and front yard, their laughter and lively music creating a vibrant atmosphere.

Kisa glanced upstairs, where Shaun had already vanished from sight.

Furrowing her brow, she followed him up.

As she reached the top of the stairs, she heard a series of suggestive, hushed sounds charged with excitement.

Kisa stealthily moved closer to the source of the noise.

At the top of the house was a small garret.

The door was unlocked, and darkness shrouded the room. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The suggestive sounds emerged from within, intermingled with a woman's voice.

It was Sara's voice—delicate, tender, and seemingly innocent—a tone that many men would find irresistibly alluring.

"Mr.Burton, we're at the Hoover residence.Aren't you afraid of getting caught doing this?"

Kisa's brow furrowed in confusion.

'Mr.Burton? Could it be Shaun? But he was the one who led me up here.If he's the man having an illicit affair with Sara, novel.e.book what is his intent in bringing me here? Isn't he afraid I'll expose their sordid affair?"

"You are so afraid of being discovered, yet you are moaning so loudly.Is it really that enjoyable?"

The man's voice was low, amused, and taunting.

Listening intently, Kisa realized with a start that the man's laughter held an undercurrent of mockery, and his voice indeed belonged to Shaun.

"Oh, you're so wicked! I'm risking my entire reputation to keep you satisfied, and you still have the audacity to tease me."

"You are only catering to my desires because you're after something in return.Come on, with your sky- high standards, you'd never even give someone like me a second glance."

Shaun's voice heavy with sarcasm.

Yet, Sara seemed oblivious to it all.

Her heavy breathing and soft moans filled the air, painting a scene too provocative to even imagine.

Concealed in the shadows, Kisa stealthily started recording the exchange on her phone.

The titillating sounds persisted for a seemingly endless stretch of time before they finally subsided.

Then, Sara's laughter pierced the air, thick with bitterness and indignation.

"You are well aware I'm doing this because I want something from you.I have served you time and time again, and yet you haven't fulfilled a single one of your promises.How can you live with yourself?"

"What's the rush? You should know that what you are asking for isn't a trivial matter.

Given your insatiable greed, you will need to exercise some patience."

"Greed?" Sara's voice seethed with resentment.

"The Kooper family fortune and all of GK should have been mine from the start.If it weren't for that foolish Sharon meddling and shoving novel.e.book Kisa into Gilbert's bed, I would be the CEO's wife right now, not that pathetic Kisa stealing the spotlight.If I can't have it all, nobody can.Whatever it takes, I want you to claim GK for me— or obliterate it if you can't.Once Gilbert is stripped of everything, he will finally recognize my worth.Why should they all be so blissfully happy while I wallow in misery? I don't only want Gilbert and the Kooper family fortune—I want to make Kelvin and Gracie's lives a living hell, too."
