‘There’s no way things could be so simple, or else why would he invite Gilbert here in the first place?’ Kisa thought to herself.
While everyone’s focus was on Carolyn and Sharon, the huge electronic screen lit up again, revealing a new set of characters. There was this fifty something-year-old lady and a bodyguard-looking guy. Judging by the video quality and their clothing, it was an old video.
Kisa furrowed her brow as she stared at the woman, feeling like she had seen her somewhere before. She then looked up at Gilbert and whispered,” Is that your grandma?”
But Gilbert did not utter a word. His eyes were glued to the screen, his body taut with tension. Meanwhile, everyone else was also staring at the screen with curiosity, gossiping away like a bunch of chatty Karens. The older guests quickly identified the woman as Madalyn from back in the day, and their chatter only grew louder.
The characters in the video were heard talking:
“Madam, isn’t this harming David a bit too much?”
“Hell no! I’m just using this as an excuse to get him out of here before he gets into some sh*t with Damon later.”
“I don’t know. Maybe we should just come clean with David. I mean, framing him for trying to steal the Kooper family’s assets in his name aren’t cool. What if he finds out the truth? He still sees you as his mother, after all. II
“Look, that little punk is crafty. Who knows what he’s plotting? Sure, he hasn’t done anything to screw over Damon yet, but he’s still working solo behind our backs and trying to schmooze up to the
company’s top dogs. I’m just exposing his potential ambition early, am I not? Besides, I’m just getting rid of him.”
As the conversation on the screen echoed through the hall, the chatter in the room grew louder and louder.
“Holy sh*t, so David wasn’t kicked out for doing some shady sh*t after all? Mrs. Kooper Sr. just couldn’t handle him, huh?”
“Man, people are selfish as f*ck. Who would have thought that Mrs. Kooper Sr. would throw David under the bus for her own damn son?”
The truth about David getting the boot from Calthon was finally coming to light, and Madalyn’s heartlessness was being called out by everyone.
But then the old video ended, and suddenly, the whole banquet hall erupted in laughter. The sound was coming from the speakers in every corner of the room, and it was so loud and shrill that it sent shivers down everyone’s spines. All of a sudden, the room went quiet, and everyone’s eyes darted around in shock as they tried to figure out where the sound was coming from. The laughter was maniacal, joyful, crazy, and even a bit sad.
For Kisa, the laughter was both strange and familiar. Adrien had cackled just like that the night before, except his voice sounded a bit different.
“Hehehe… it is almost over. Everything is almost over. Those who disrespected me, mistreated me, and took away the people I loved, they are all going to pay for it. Hahaha… hahaha!”
The maniacal laughter echoed through the banquet hall, sending shivers down everyone’s spines. Some of the weak female guests even huddled together in terror.
Out of nowhere, Carolyn went batsh*t crazy and started hopping around.
“It’s David! It’s David! He isn’t dead! He’s still kicking! He’s the one who is trying to get back at me. It’s all his twisted plan. He ruined me. It’s all his damn fault!” Carolyn screamed, pushing through the crowd and making her way to Kisa.
“Where the hell is Adrien? You… you call him. Someone is trying to hurt me. You call him and tell him to protect me! He loves me more than anyone else. You have to call him now!”
Kisa just looked at her with sadness in her eyes. ‘She still hasn’t figured out that Adrien is the mastermind behind all this? She still hasn’t realized that Adrien is David?’
