Chapter 522 There Is a Ghost
“Mr. Kooper, you are still awake? H–Have I disturbed you?” Davian let out a servile at the other end of the phone.
Gilbert rolled his eyes. “Of course you have disturbed me. You are becoming worse and worse as an assistant.“,
Davian’s smile froze. “T–Then I will leave you to it and will report back to you tomorrow.” Gilbert stopped teasing him and said in a deep voice, “Get down to business.”
Davian stopped laughing and said with a serious face, “Didn’t you ask me to investigate Adrien Tanner? I have found something.”
“Say it.”
“Adrien is the Tanner family’s eldest son, grew up smart with good business acumen. He graduated from a prestigious university and as soon as he graduated, he started his own business to prove his ability. Later, he took over all the business of the Tanner family with his own merit. He is very influential in the circle, and is the best in the business world. As for his relationship history, I found nothing. He doesn’t seem to be interested in women. He is not married yet and has no tidbit about him. There are rumors he has secretly married and has a son, but none of these rumors have been confirmed.”
Gilbert listened quietly, and Adrien’s eyes came to mind. The results of Davian’s investigation sounded normal, yet strange. He was sure at the moment that he had not seen Adrien before and also had not crossed paths with him. But he just found those eyes so familiar. ‘It can’t be. I must have seen those eyes before.’
Davian stared at his frowning face and could not help but ask, “Mr. Kooper, is there something wrong with the information I have found?”
Gilbert shook his head. “You are efficient.”
Davian laughed. “Not that I’m efficient. Just that his background is so easy to check, as if it has been put there on purpose. It comes out as soon as you check it.”
Gilbert thought his statement was a bit strange, but could not figure out what was strange
about it.
“Mr. Kooper…” Davian suddenly smiled servilely again, “Is Mrs. Kooper still at your place?”
Gilbert’s face darkened.
Davian panicked and hurriedly backtracked. “I mean Ms. Becker. It is Ms. Becker. Not Mrs. Kooper.”
“If there is nothing else, hang up.”
Davian nodded. “Nothing else.”
“Aaaaah!”
Just as Gilbert was about to cut off the video call, a scream came. It was so loud it could have been heard throughout the villa, even from Davian’s end.
“Is that Ms. Becker’s voice? What is happening, Mr. Kooper? Where are you and Ms. Becker
now?”
Gilbert ignored Davian as he disconnected the call and then hurried outside.
“Aaaaah… Go away! Who are you? Go away!”
CLANK!
Before Gilbert could enter the room, he heard a woman’s piercing scream from inside, accompanied by a sound of breaking glass. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly pushed open the door. He saw a shadow lunge toward him before it collided into him.
“There is a ghost! Gilbert, there is a ghost! It is so scary!”
Gilbert had no words and put his hand to his forehead. ‘Is she drunk again? It is the middle. of the night. How come she hasn’t sobered up at all and is getting drunker and drunker?’
Kisa clutched his chest lapel, cowering. “There really is a ghost. It is so scary…”
“Where is the ghost? Show me.”
