As she thought about it, she remembered the day the servant had prepared two identical meals for Peter. A sudden suspicion crept up on her.
‘Could there be someone else in Peter's room?'
Her eyes narrowed as she walked up to the door and tried to turn the knob, but it would not budge.
She pursed her lips and then whispered into the room, "Jolina, is that you?"
But there was no answer. She wondered if she was being too suspicious. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the sound of breaking dishes coming from inside the room. Her heart sank.
‘Could Jolina really be locked up in there?"
Kisa's eyes darted toward the lock, and then she spun around and bolted down the stairs. She burst into the room to find Gilbert coolly smoking by the window. She did not waste any time explaining the situation to him and started rummaging through her things for wire or anything that could help her pick the lock.
"I suspect Jolina is locked upstairs. I'm going up to pick the lock and see. You get ready, if Jolina is up there, I want to get her out of here tonight," Kisa said.
But Gilbert crushed his cigarette and strode over, grabbing her by the collar and snapped at her, "Why do you always have to get involved in other people's business? This is the Webb family, Kisa.
Can't you just leave it alone?"
“Jolina isn't just anybody; she's my friend," Kisa brushed off his hand and said coolly. "You should get some rest. If Ido manage to rescue her, I'll take care of her myself."
Gilbert's eyes bore into hers, and he lets out a sarcastic chuckle. "I should've known better than to bring you here."
Kisa rummaged through the cabinet, pulling out two thin wires. She clenched her jaw and said firmly, 'You go ahead and get some rest. If it really is Jolina, I'll make sure she's safe and sound before I come back."
"This is Oceanville, the territory of the Webb family. Where do you think is a safe place?" Gilbert said. Kisa remained silent, gripping the wire and walking toward the door, leaving him staring at her coldly.
"Davian just called, and GK is in crisis," he said, his eyes fixed on her back.
Kisa froze for a moment, her lips sealed shut. He continued. "I told you, if you want GK, just ask. Why go through all this trouble?"
Kisa bit her lip, her voice strained. "You'll understand everything I've done soon enough."
With that, she hurriedly left the room. Behind her, the sound of a man pounding on the window echoed through the silence.
Kisa gritted her teeth. 'GK is falling apart, and Adrien's true face is about to surface. It's almost over.'
She made her way to the third floor. She had plenty of experience picking locks, and with a few twists of the wire, she opened the door in front of her.
The room was lit up, and as Kisa pushed the door open, she sawa woman lying on the carpet. The woman was emaciated, and her clothes hung off her in an unusually large size.
Kisa rushed over to her. "Jolina, is it you?"
The woman moved slightly, struggling to lift her head. Kisa's heart skipped a beat. It really was Jolina, but she had lost the vitality and color she once had. She was thin and frail, her face almost sickly white.
"Kisa..." Jolina said, tears streaming down her face.
Kisa hurried over and hugged her.
"How did this happen? How did they lock you up here?"
"It was... it was Peter," Jolina said, her eyes filled with hatred. Kisa held her tight.
"Don't worry. I'll get you out of here. We'll leave right now." She put a thick, long down jacket on Jolina and helped her walk outside. As they stepped into the yard, a beam of headlights suddenly shone on them.
