Chapter 1477
As she thought about it, she remembered the day the servant had prepared two identical meals for Peter. A sudden suspicion crept up on her.
‘Could there be someone else in Peter’s room?’
Her eyes narrowed as she walked up to the door and tried to turn the knob, but it would not budge.
She pursed her lips and then whispered into the room, “Jolina, is that you?”
But there was no answer. She wondered if she was being too suspicious. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the sound of breaking dishes coming from inside the room. Her heart sank.
‘Could Jolina really be locked up in there?”
Kisa’s eyes darted toward the lock, and then she spun around and bolted down the stairs. She burst into the room to find Gilbert coolly smoking by the window. She did not waste any time explaining the situation to him and started rummaging through her things for wire or anything that could help her pick the lock.
“I suspect Jolina is locked upstairs. I’m going up to pick the lock and see. You get ready, if Jolina is up there, I want to get her out of here tonight,” Kisa said.
But Gilbert crushed his cigarette and strode over, grabbing her by the collar and snapped at her, “Why do you always have to get involved in other people’s business? This is the Webb family, Kisa.
Can’t you just leave it alone?”
“Jolina isn’t just anybody; she’s my friend,” Kisa brushed off his hand and said coolly. “You should get some rest. If Ido manage to rescue her, I’ll take care of her myself.”
Gilbert’s eyes bore into hers, and he lets out a sarcastic chuckle. “I should’ve known better than to bring you here.”
Kisa rummaged through the cabinet, pulling out two thin wires. She clenched her jaw and said firmly, ‘You go ahead and get some rest. If it really is Jolina, I’ll make sure she’s safe and sound before I come back.”
