Chapter 1485
Mr. Webb Sr. had a glint in his eye as he turned to Peter and asked, "Did you really see Mr. Kooper escorting that woman out of town?"
Peter's eyes were bloodshot, like he was about to lose his mind. Thomas quickly pulled his father aside and said," Come on, Dad, don't push him. Peter cares about that woman too much to be mistaken."
"I just want to know if he saw Mr. Kooper." Mr. Webb Sr. persisted.
Peter snapped back. "Gilbert could turn to ashes, and I'd still recognize him if he tried to take my woman away."
Seeing his father's skeptical look, Thomas piped up, "What is the matter, Dad? Mrs. Kooper already confirmed that Mr. Kooper escorted the woman out of town. How could Peter be wrong?"
Mr. Webb Sr. nodded thoughtfully and muttered to himself," Looks like Mr. Kooper wasn’t the one who snuck into the Tanner residence last night."
Meanwhile, Kisa paced the room anxiously. When she heard a knock at the door, she rushed to answer it. It was Peter. She pulled him inside and asked, "Did you go to the Tanner residence yet?"
"Not yet. I'll go later," Peter replied calmly.
Kisa nodded, but her face betrayed her worry. "You heard about what happened last night, right? Do you think they caught the intruder?"
"Don't worry. I heard they didn't catch him," Peter said." That's why my dad was questioning us earlier."
Kisa looked at him, perplexed. "But how did you know that your dad suspected Gilbert was the one who broke into the Tanner residence?"
Peter grinned enigmatically. "Don't worry about it. Just trust me. I'll take care of everything. I'll have news about Gilbert for you by tonight." And with that, he turned and left.
Kisa was in a daze as she stared at the closed door, wondering if Peter had suddenly become a different person.
'Did Jolina's departure hit him harder than I thought?'
