Chapter 1470
“Did he really just fall out of love?” she wondered, but her gut told her something else.
“Mrs. Tanner Sr. said he changed completely after he struck it rich, but my father says otherwise.” Thomas shook his head in response.
“Maybe his feelings just changed,” Kisa mused, though she still had her doubts about Adrien.
‘It’s not impossible for a man to ditch his girlfriend once he becomes wealthy. But even his own mother says he has changed, and that’s odd. What if he isn’t even Adrien to begin with?’
The thought made her shudder, and she hugged herself tightly. It felt like she was on the brink of a significant discovery, but the more she thought, the more her mind spun.
As Kisa returned to the Webb residence, she sensed a tense atmosphere in the living room. Before she could get a closer look, Mr. Webb Sr. approached her. “Mrs. Kooper, you’re finally back. Mr. Kooper was worried sick.”
Just then, Kisa saw Gilbert sitting on the couch. His face had darkened, his aura was menacing.
‘He’s not worried, he’s angry,’ Kisa thought to herself.
Thomas parked the car and walked in. But the moment he arrived; Mr. Webb Sr. unleashed a
torrent of insults at him.
“You useless piece of junk! I told you to take Mrs. Kooper to Oceanville for a nice time, but you just lost her. Do you know how worried Mr. Kooper was? Don’t you have any common sense? Didn’t you think to report to Mr. Kooper before you left? Thank goodness Mrs. Kooper didn’t get hurt. Otherwise, your life wouldn’t be worth a damn.”
Thomas simply bowed his head and took the verbal lashing without a word.
