As soon as George’s voice trailed off, Gilbert’s hands latched onto Shaun’s collar, and he pulled him close. With bloodthirsty eyes and a menacing tone, Gilbert growled, “You guys… did you hide my grandma?”
Shaun fought to free himself from Gilbert’s grip, looking totally clueless.” What the hell are you talking about, man? Why would we hide some old lady?” But Gilbert was not buying it and was about to punch him in the face. Shaun screamed, “You better not touch me, man! You’re not a CEO anymore. If you hit me, I’m calling the cops!”
Ignoring Shaun’s warning, Gilbert threw a punch toward his face. Kisa reacted quickly and grabbed Gilbert’s arm. This was not like the old days when he held all the power. Kisa knew that if he started a fight now, things would only get worse.
“Gilbert, you need to calm down. Let’s go look for your grandma first,” Kisa said,
Gilbert flung Kisa’s arm away from him in disgust. “Get the hell off me!” he yelled. “It’s your fault my grandma is missing. If anything happens to her, I will make sure you pay for it.”
Kisa felt her heart sink as she watched Gilbert’s eyes burn with anger. She thought she could uncover Adrien’s true identity without hurting anyone by pretending to work with him, but she was wrong. Her naivety destroyed GK, and now she had left Gilbert with nothing. She had no words to say to him, no explanation that could ease his pain.
Gilbert’s grip tightened as he repeated his question, “I’ll ask you one more time. Did you guys kidnap my grandma?”
Shaun was struggling to breathe, and his face was turning red. He shouted, “I already told you, man. We didn’t take your grandma. We’re just here to collect the house. She’s probably out somewhere.”
Davian looked at Shaun and then walked over to Gilbert. He pulled Gilbert aside and whispered, “I don’t think he’s lying. Mrs. Kooper Sr. was already missing when they got here.”
Gilbert’s eyes narrowed as he threw Shaun to the ground. “Tell Adrien that I will take the fall for my grandma’s past mistakes. But he better not touch her.”
Shaun got up, brushing off the dust. He sneered, “I will make sure he gets the message. But this house belongs to Mr. Tanner now. You and your people need to leave, or I will call the cops on you for breaking into this house.”
Gilbert did not budge, but eventually, Davian managed to pull him out of the house. “Adrien played us all for fools. He used Risen Enterprise to distract us while he took over GK. GK is done for; Adrien managed to take it over completely. I never thought Adrien and Risen Enterprise were in cahoots. And your wife… she is a real piece of work. She…” He trailed off, not wanting to voice his true feelings about her.
“What about the children?” Gilbert asked, his expression grim.
Davian replied quickly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Kooper. I have taken them to my place. Felicity is looking after them.”
Gilbert felt a slight sense of relief, but the thought of his grandmother still made him angry. ‘David hates Grandma so much. If he gets his hands on her, I don’t even want to think about what he will do.’
“Did you check the whole yard?” he asked as George came outside.
George nodded. “We searched everywhere. Mrs. Kooper Sr. must have left on her own.”
Kisa wanted to say something to Gilbert, but the hatred in his eyes made her feel uneasy.
Suddenly, a phone started ringing.
