He looked at Kisa. “Do you know what I found at the Tanner residence?”

Seeing his serious expression, Kisa’s expression tightened.” What did you find?”

“As you suspected, there was indeed a person locked up in the basement, a scruffy-looking person whose face was hard to discern. That person had his tongue cut out.”

“What?” Kisa exclaimed, a chill running down her spine.

“Who was the person?”

“Adrien.”

Kisa was so shocked that she could not speak for a while. After a long time, she regained her composure and asked word by word, “Are you saying that the person locked up in the basement of the Tanner residence is the real Adrien?”

Gilbert nodded. “Although his tongue was cut out, his mind is still clear. He used blood to write his name on the ground.”

“If he’s the real Adrien, then who is the person in Calthon pretending to be Adrien?” Kisa asked in disbelief.

Suddenly, she remembered something and exclaimed excitedly, “I know! If the person in Calthon is a fake Adrien, then his real identity must be David, your uncle.”

Gilbert furrowed his brow. “If he really is my uncle, then why would he conceal his identity? And his appearance…”

Kisa shook her head, and she asked urgently, “What else did the real Adrien tell you?”

Gilbert squinted slightly and recounted what he had learned in the basement.

So, it turned out that Adrien had a chip on his shoulder because his girlfriend’s family looked down on him, and he was determined to make something of himself.

Unfortunately, his desperation was exploited by a man who promised him riches in exchange for three things.

First, Adrien had to go into hiding. Second, if anyone came looking for him, that person had to be sent away. And third, he could not tell anyone about his existence.

Adrien thought these conditions were simple enough and agreed to them. Sure enough, within a few months, that man made the Tanner family a powerful and influential dynasty in Oceanville.

But just as Adrien was about to marry his girlfriend and revel in his newfound success, that man, in cahoots with the Tanner family’s butler, had him locked up and cut out his tongue.

To this day, Adrien had no idea what happened to the Tanner family or who that man really was.

As Gilbert finished his story, Kisa became even more convinced that the fake Adrien was David. Vivian had mentioned that she had met David at the Tanner residence, but the person who had greeted her was Adrien.

It was clear that David had planned for Vivian to come and had instructed Adrien to send her away, which was the second thing he had asked Adrien to do.

Kisa looked at Gilbert and whispered, “That fake Adrien must be your uncle. He locked up the real Adrien and cut off his tongue to take his place and get close to us.”

Gilbert furrowed his brow and remained silent.

At this point, Kisa was genuinely scared of David.

‘Why would he go to such lengths to hide his identity, plan everything so carefully, and even try to turn me and Gilbert against each other? Is it all just to get revenge on Gilbert? But he’s Gilbert’s uncle, and he seemed to have a good relationship with Damon back then. What is he really trying to do? What is David’s ultimate plan after all his plotting and planning? And what dark secrets are hidden in his wedding to Carolyn?’

Kisa’s mind was filled with doubts and fears. She could not shake the feeling that a terrible storm was brewing.
