Chapter 1474
“I might not be able to find it, but Kelvin can definitely get to the bottom of this,” Gilbert said.
Kisa’s heart raced, and she pulled out her phone to call Kelvin.
Kelvin was a big shot in the medical world, and sure enough, the investigation results were in the very next afternoon.
‘No way! Mrs. Webb Sr. didn’t have twins at all. She only had one kid. So why on earth did Thomas tell me he and Peter were twins? Or maybe Thomas was bamboozled too? And this con has been going on for thirty years! What the heck was the goal of the person who cooked up this scheme?
As Kisa pored over the info, Gilbert suddenly piped up, “So, your visit to Oceanville wasn’t just to see my uncle, was it? You’re also on the hunt for your brother, and you think he might be one of the Webb brothers, am I right?”
“Yep, they have got the same birthmark as my mom,” Kisa confirmed.
“Speaking of that birthmark, doesn’t it strike you as kind of fishy?” Gilbert chuckled.
“What do you mean?” Kisa eyed him suspiciously.
“You only have one brother, but both Webb bros have the same darn birthmark. That seems like a mighty big coincidence, doesn’t it?”
Kisa stayed silent as Gilbert continued. “And let’s not forget about the twins. Mrs. Webb Sr. only had one kid, yet the Webb family was going around town claiming that she had twins. Doesn’t that seem a little odd to you?”
Kisa scrunched up her face. “Are you trying to tell me that…”
“Yup, you got it. The reason they pulled this stunt was to keep one of the children hidden away. And that child might just be your brother.”
“Could it be Thomas?”
He then looked into her eyes and continued. “I helped you, loved you, and spoiled you. Will you forget all the past grievances and stay with me? No, you won’t! Even though you say thank you, you will still join forces with those people to come after me, won’t you?”
Chal
Kisa struggled to find words as she watched his mocking smile. Nowadays, no matter how much she talked, it would be all in vain.
In the dead of night, Thomas rummaged through every nook and cranny of his room until he pulled out a wooden box from the deepest drawer. With a red cloth wrapped around it, the box held a bracelet. He gazed at it for what seemed like an eternity, until a realization washed over him, making him chuckle. bitterly and shed tears at the same time.
“Ah, so that’s it. That’s it,” he murmured as he held the bracelet in his hand and rushed out of his room.
Peter had just come downstairs when he saw his elder brother charge toward the study like a man possessed. He furrowed his brow and followed suit, unsure of what was happening.
