Chapter 1501
Gilbert was driving at breakneck speed. Kisa tried to soothe him. “Don’t worry. David may hate your grandmother, but he wouldn’t dare do anything to her. And he still has some feelings for her, right?”
After a long silence, he spoke up. “I never knew that David was kicked out of Calthon like that.”
Kisa was at a loss for words.
After a brief moment of silence, Gilbert asked again, “Is this all a part of David’s plan? Does he want to get back at everyone he hates?”
She stared out the window, deep in thought. She had a nagging feeling that things were far from simple. David had mentioned a fatal blow to Gilbert, but she could not figure out what it could be.
‘Is it Madalyn? If David wants to hurt Gilbert, he’ll go for what is most important to him. If this fatal blow means Madalyn, she’s in serious trouble.’
But judging by David’s heart-wrenching laughter, she felt that he did not really want Madalyn’s life. He wanted justice.
Just then, the phone rang. It was George. His panicked voice came through the phone, “Something’s wrong, Mr. Kooper. A group of people came to the house and said that GK has gone bankrupt, and they have mortgaged the house. Is it true, Mr. Kooper?”
Gilbert’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, his heart pounding in his chest. “Where is Grandma?”
“Oh no, oh no!” a servant cried out. “Mrs. Kooper Sr is missing!”
“What? How could Mrs. Kooper Sr. possibly be missing? Find her now. Search every nook and cranny!”
There were noises on the other end of the phone. Gilbert gripped the phone tightly, his heart pounding with anxiety. Kisa reached out to comfort him, but he pushed her away.
“Don’t touch me!”
He did not look at her, his voice filled with a raw, seething anger.
The car raced toward the Kooper family mansion. As they approached, they found the gate guarded by several strange men, blocking their way. Gilbert and Kisa were forced to exit the car and walk through the yard, where they found a large group of people gathered, mostly the Kooper family’s servants. Even Davian was among them. But before they could take another step, a man stepped out in front of them. Kisa recognized him immediately: it was Shaun, Jensen’s former secretary.
“This mansion belongs to Mr. Tanner now,” Shaun sneered.
“What are you talking about?” Kisa demanded, her forehead furrowing in confusion.
Shaun scoffed. “Don’t play dumb. You and Adrien plotted together to take down Gilbert. Those confidential files you stole from GK ruined the company, and now he has lost everything. You really are quite clever, I have to admit.”
“I didn’t steal any files,” Kisa retorted, her eyes blazing. “Adrien and I were pretending to work together. I never gave him those files.”
Shaun chuckled. “You are still pretending? Gilbert has nothing left now.
Your revenge plan worked. What is the point of pretending anymore? Are you addicted to playing this role? I tell you what-all of GK’s shares are now in Mr. Tanner’s hands. GK belongs to him.”
“That’s impossible!” Kisa bellowed.
Shaun laughed, mocking her as if she were a fool.
Gilbert barely even looked at her as he strode over to George. “Where’s Grandma?” he demanded.
George’s eyes filled with tears as he spoke. “We still haven’t found her. Just before those men barged in, she said she wanted some dessert. I sent a servant to get it for her, and then they came. We fought them off as best we could, but when I called you, we realized your grandma was gone.” “W-What are you doing?”
