Chapter 1464
‘Could it be for me? That thought vanished without a trace as soon as she recalled the icy,
mocking expression on his face just now. ‘He has deep resentment toward me now, so how could it possibly be for me?’
Davian hung up the phone, feeling frustrated. “Lately, I don’t know what’s been going on in Mr. Kooper’s head, but it seems like he doesn’t want GK anymore.”
Kelvin raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on?”
“Risen Enterprise has been stealing all our business lately, and they’re even getting their hands on GK’s confidential information. They’re always one step ahead of us, and they even swooped in and stole that land we were eyeing. And to top it off, our data systems got hacked. It’s obvious someone’s out to get us, but Mr. Kooper insists on going to Oceanville instead of staying and fixing the mess here.”
Kelvin furrowed his brow and took a drag of his cigarette. “Could it be because of Kisa? After all, she has always wanted to go to Oceanville.”
“I have no idea, but Mr. Kooper did bring her along. Who knows what his wife’s even doing in Oceanville?”
“Rumor has it she is looking for someone.”
“Ugh, his wife’s nothing but trouble. She’s always causing problems for Mr. Kooper.”
Kelvin snickered. “Maybe it is because Mr. Kooper’s a sucker and lets her walk all over him.”
“You’re the sucker.” Davian shot Kelvin a glare and refused to engage any further. He suspected Kelvin had bullied Kisa before, so he felt guilty and defensive about her.
As they left the airport, they were greeted by several people, including an elderly man in his sixties with a sharp and astute business demeanor. To his left was a strapping young man in his thirties, towering in stature and sporting a pair of glasses that made him look sophisticated and refined
Trailing behind them were a few beefy-looking guys, who seemed to be their bodyguards.
“Hey there, Mr. Kooper Finally, you made it. It’s been a long time since we last met,” the elderly man exclaimed, shaking Gilbert’s hand with enthusiasm.
Kisa realized then that the elderly man was none other than Mr. Webb Sr., and the young man. standing next to him was his eldest son, Thomas Webb. Kisa could not help but wonder where Peter was.
After exchanging pleasantries, Gilbert and Kisa got into Mr. Webb Sr.’s car, and he offered to take them to a hotel. But Kisa remembered that David disappeared from the Webb residence, so she concocted an excuse to visit Peter, claiming that they were friends. Mr. Webb Sr. agreed, and they headed straight to the Webb residence.
As they entered the mansion, several plates and bowls flew toward them. Kisa was startled and instinctively raised her hand to block them, but Gilbert was faster, pulling her aside to safety.
