Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 1499

Chapter 1499

'There’s no way things could be so simple, or else why would he invite Gilbert here in the first place?' Kisa thought to herself.

While everyone's focus was on Carolyn and Sharon, the huge electronic screen lit up again, revealing a new set of characters. There was this fifty­something-year-old lady and a bodyguard-looking guy. Judging by the video quality and their clothing, it was an old video.

Kisa furrowed her brow as she stared at the woman, feeling like she had seen her somewhere before. She then looked up at Gilbert and whispered," Is that your grandma?"

But Gilbert did not utter a word. His eyes were glued to the screen, his body taut with tension. Meanwhile, everyone else was also staring at the screen with curiosity, gossiping away like a bunch of chatty Karens. The older guests quickly identified the woman as Madalyn from back in the day, and their chatter only grew louder.

The characters in the video were heard talking:

"Madam, isn't this harming David a bit too much?"

"Hell no! I'm just using this as an excuse to get him out of here before he gets into some sh*t with Damon later."

"I don't know. Maybe we should just come clean with David. I mean, framing him for trying to steal the Kooper family's assets in his name aren't cool. What if he finds out the truth? He still sees you as his mother, after all. II

"Look, that little punk is crafty. Who knows what he's plotting? Sure, he hasn't done anything to screw over Damon yet, but he's still working solo behind our backs and trying to schmooze up to the company’s top dogs. I'm just exposing his potential ambition early, am I not? Besides, I'm just getting rid of him."

As the conversation on the screen echoed through the hall, the chatter in the room grew louder and louder.
