CHAPTER 708
Chapter 708 Who Was the Real Perpetrator
“You’re all bad guys. Was making my daughter–in–law almost lose her life not enough? Now you’re even trying to kidnap my grandchildren. Why are you outsiders so evil?”
After hearing the old woman’s words, Kisa immediately understood the situation.
It turned out the old woman had thought Kisa wanted to kidnap her grandchildren.
Gilbert said icily, “Nobody’s kidnapping your
grandchildren. Another thing, once I get the answers that I want, your two daughters–in–law will return safely.”
“Go rot in hell, you bad guys! Ever since you all came, our village hasn’t been peaceful. Get lost!”
The old woman’s shouts quickly attracted the other villagers.
Kisa glanced at the villagers. Most of them were women, children, and the elderly; few of them were young or strong men.
Gilbert ignored the old woman’s insults. He also ignored the fearful and repulsive gazes of the villagers.
Then, he held Kisa by the shoulder and walked toward the house’s entrance.
A few of Gilbert’s subordinates wanted to challenge the old woman. However, Gilbert stopped them.
“Let her be. She’ll leave once she gets tired of yelling,” he
said.
Then, he turned to Kisa.
His annoyance and violent temper had subsided. There was only worry on his face.
“Are you alright? Did you sprain your foot?”
Since Kisa still did not know the truth, the concern on Gilbert’s made her feel a little confused.
The reactions of the two jailers when they saw him made her feel a little suspicious and afraid.
Kisa flicked his hand aside, “I’m fine. Thanks for helping me just now. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
The woman’s seemingly intentionally distant actions made him feel annoyed once more.
He turned to his subordinate, “How are the two jailers?”
“They’re better now. You can go in and try asking them questions.”
Gilbert looked at Kisa as if he were asking for her opinions.
Kisa pursed her lips, “Let’s go in then.”
‘After all, waiting around is not the solution. Since we worked hard to get to where we are, we should ask them some questions,‘ she thought.
The two jailers were sitting on the bed.
Kisa glanced at the two and had no recollection of them.
After all, there had been quite a lot of jailers back then. Moreover, she did not stay in prison for long.
The two jailers had dark, yellow skin. It was hard to tell how old they were.
Kisa stood a couple of feet from them.
Meanwhile, Gilbert leaned on a wall that was across them.
The two jailers seemed to be afraid of Gilbert. When they looked at him, their gaze was constantly avoidant and accompanied by evident fear.
Kisa was confused at their reaction.
‘They have no reason to be this afraid of Gilbert unless he was the one who threatened to make them disappear,‘ she thought.
The more Kisa thought about it, the more troubled she felt.
She decided to get straight to the point and asked, “Do you recall the fire that happened at Calthon’s West Suburban Women’s Prison six years ago?”
The two jailers evidently shuddered when they heard the fire being mentioned.
Kisa’s gaze darkened. She continued, “Who was the real perpetrator who set the fire back then?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know a thing,” one of the jailers promptly covered her ears while shaking her head violently. She had a look of terror.
Meanwhile, the other jailer wrapped her arms around herself while shaking her head repeatedly.
Kisa gritted her teeth.
‘Judging from their reactions, it’s possible that they don’t know. They’re still unwilling to say a thing even though it’s been years. How terrifying is this person who
threatened them, to make them this scared?‘ wondered Kisa.
Gilbert had lost his patience long ago. He flung the cigarette butt to the ground before crushing it under his feet. Then, he strode toward the two jailers.
