Chapter 1495

“She went to the Kooper residence today and spilled her guts to Madalyn, claiming that I joined forces with outsiders to drive GK into bankruptcy. Mrs. Kooper Sr. was so ticked off that she ended up collapsing from the stress.”

Adrien’s face darkened as he listened to Kisa’s story, but he remained silent.

Kisa continued. “And because of that, Gilbert went ballistic and kicked me out of the Kooper residence.

Now I can’t even get close to GK’s secret stash if I want to. So Godfather, if you end up not making a dime off the Kooper family, don’t blame me. Blame that knucklehead.”

Kisa pointed straight at Sharon, intentionally making sure Carolyn heard her words.

Carolyn dragged Sharon to the couch, fuming. “Didn’t I tell you to keep your cool? How can you be so clueless and mess everything up like this? You’re driving me nuts!”

“I-I didn’t know it would come to this. I—’

“Enough. Apologize to Kisa.” Carolyn interrupted her, pushing Sharon toward Kisa, who stood there, arms crossed, and watched with indifference as the mother-daughter duo approached her.

“I’m sorry, Kisa. She doesn’t know any better. Don’t be mad at her. Just focus on getting back with Gilbert,” Carolyn said, pinching Sharon to make her apologize, and Sharon begrudgingly muttered an apology to Kisa.

Kisa snickered. Being dumb is one thing. Being dumb and doing dumb things is another.”

“You…” Sharon started to speak, but Carolyn quickly pulled her away, smiling apologetically at Kisa and Adrien.

“We’ll leave you to it. Sorry for the interruption,” she said.

As Carolyn and her daughter left, Adrien looked at Kisa. With a seemingly casual tone, he asked, “Mrs.

Kooper Sr. must be quite old by now, right? Her illness isn’t life-threatening, is it?”

Kisa saw a hint of concern in his eyes.

‘Despite everything, he still cares about Mrs. Kooper Sr. and the Kooper family. But why would he want to harm Gilbert if he has a sense of family toward them? What are his true intentions?’

Pushing aside her doubts, Kisa replied, “Kelvin checked on her and said the situation isn’t looking good. I don’t know the specifics since Gilbert won’t allow me to visit her.”

Adrien looked at his drink without saying a word.

Kisa’s eyes turned sad as she said, “Godfather, Gilbert has kicked me out. Can I stay with you for a few days until I find a suitable place to live?”

“Of course,” Adrien said kindly, pulling her to sit beside him. “You’re like my own daughter. You can stay with me as long as you need.”

“Thank you, Godfather,” Kisa smiled, but her mind was racing.

‘If I stay with Adrien under the same roof, will I be able to uncover his secrets?’ she wondered.

“Speaking of which, after what Sharon has done, I don’t think I can go back to Gilbert. So how can we get revenge on him? Even if GK really goes bankrupt, it doesn’t seem like a significant blow to him.”

“Don’t worry, I have my own plans.” Adrien smiled, his narrowed eyes sparkling with a hint of cunning.

Kisa felt a shiver run down her spine. Adrien’s private mansion was quiet, with only two servants inside.

No one else was there.

Kisa was curious and asked, “Doesn’t Carolyn and her daughter live with you?”

“I arranged for them to stay elsewhere. We’re getting married soon, and I heard it is not auspicious for couples to live together before the wedding,” Adrien replied.

Kisa nodded and did not say anything else.

Adrien’s life was simple, aside from going to the club, he mostly stayed at home. Most of the time, he was just like any ordinary person, without any peculiarities.

That was, until the eve of his and Carolyn’s wedding.
