Chapter 1498
People were screaming, hollering, and cussing up a storm.
Kisa furrowed her brow in confusion. “What’s going on?”
Gilbert’s eyes darkened. He let go of Kisa and stormed off toward the banquet hall. She hurriedly trailed behind, trying to reach Adrien on her phone, but he was not picking up. When they arrived at the banquet hall, Kisa glanced up at the wall and her stomach churned.
There was a huge electronic screen hanging on the wall. It had been showing Carolyn’s gorgeous artistic and wedding photos, but now it displayed her getting down and dirty with different guys. The video was shot using infrared cameras, and despite the darkness of the room, the scenes and characters were clear as day. The men were all scruffy, grotesque, and downright nasty.
Suddenly, Kisa remembered all the sketchy beggars that had been coming and going from Adrien’s club recently.
‘Could it be…’
The thought made her shudder in revulsion.
‘What kind of vendetta does Adrien have against Carolyn? How could he sink so low as to degrade her like this?’
Flashes of light lit up the screen as people hollered, jeered, and spewed insults. They called Carolyn every name in the book, accusing her of being shameless and low-down. Carolyn lost it, screaming that it was all a setup and that she was innocent. She even stood in front of the screen, trying to block the view, but it was no use. She looked like a crazy person, with her makeup smeared and people hurling food and drinks at her.
The situation was spiraling out of control when suddenly the scene changed. The focus shifted from Carolyn to Sharon, or more specifically, Sharon six years ago when she was sitting disheveled on top of a man with a flirtatious smile on her face.
Kisa squinted her eyes subconsciously and then suddenly recognized the man as the former warden.
‘Could it be that Sharon used her body to seduce the warden and plotted the fire six years ago?’
Sharon’s voice, filled with malice, came from the screen. “I’ve been taking care of you from last night until today. Aren’t you going to prepare for me to watch the fire today? Don’t worry, I only want Kisa’s life. Oh, and of course, I want the baby in her belly too. That way, I will have a chance to become the lady of the Kooper family.” Sharon’s voice on the screen was no different from her current voice.
The scene caused an uproar of shock, condemnation, and disbelief. Then, the scene changed again, and Carolyn appeared on the screen.
She was instructing two prison guards, “You guys wait outside of Kisa’s cell and subtly suggest that Gilbert started the fire. When she’s close to death, cut the baby out of her. Remember, I want the baby alive.”
The truth behind the fire six years ago was now crystal clear. Kisa looked toward Gilbert, who was staring intently at the screen. His hand was clenched so tightly that it had turned blue. Kisa reached out and grabbed his hand, feeling him shake. She bit her lip and squeezed his hand even harder, as if she never wanted to let go. She had wrongly accused him back then.
As the ugly truth continued to unfold, Carolyn and Sharon were berated and cursed by everyone in the room. Soon, they were soaked in drinks and food, looking like they had just taken a dip in the garbage dump. Someone had called the police, and Carolyn and her daughter were quickly taken into custody. Kisa stared at the screen, lost in thought.
‘Could this be the surprise Adrien had in store for me?’
