Wedding My Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 175 What Was Your Goal?

Kaia’s face was pale as she peered down from the rooftop, lashes trembling.

Lucien had landed on the inflatable rescue pad the firefighters had just set up.

But she couldn't tell if he was hurt.

Without hesitation, Kaia bolted for the stairs. Her legs were still shaky, but she pushed through.

When she passed the dazed, shell-shocked Harry on the stairwell, her voice cracked with urgency-and more than

a little

anger.

“What are you standing there for? Cdown with me!”

Harry knew he had messed up. He stumbled after her, trailing behind with guilt weighing down his every step.

By the tthey reached the ground floor, Lucien was already sitting up, rubbing his shoulder. “I'm fine.”

Before he could finish, Kaia threw herself into his arms.

Her voice trembled with relief as she buried her face against his neck.

“You... You scaredso much. Thank God you're okay! | thought I lost you.”

A quiet, helpless laugh rumbled in Lucien’s chest, warmth blooming behind his ribs. She was worried about him.

That fact alone was enough to dull the pain in his shoulder.

He smiled, “Honey, the whole neighborhood's watching. Can we save the cuddling for later?”

Kaia blinked up at him, stunned—and immediately flushed crimson when her eyes met his teasing gaze.

Around them, a crowd of elderly onlookers had already gathered, murmuring amongst themselves.

“Heh, cute couple right there. Poor girl must've been scared to death. Hey buddy, next tyou play hero,

maybe be a bit more careful!”

“Good lad. Now take your girl hand get srest.”

Meanwhile, the once-suicidal Harry had been surrounded by a circle of grandpas and grandmas who wasted no

tlaunching into a round of heartfelt, if repetitive, life lectures.

“Kid, con. Nothing's worth ending it all over.”

“Harry, weren't you just talking about visiting your mom back

“Listen, we get it - life’s rough for you young folks. But this? This isn’t the way out. You've got too much going for

you to throw it all away.”

They said the sthings over and over, but somehow, Harry actually listened.

His head hung low, cheeks flushed with shame, but he nodded along earnestly.

Eventually, he broke through the crowd, walked up to Kaia and Lucien, and gave them a deep, solemn bow.

“I'm sorry,” he said, voice low but steady. “I won't try something like that ever again.”

Kaia and Lucien exchanged a glance and smiled. At least all their efforts today weren't in vain.

Lucien’s expression hardened just a bit as he looked Harry in the

eye.

“Good. You're a man-act like one. If you're unhappy with your life, then get out there and change it. Stop whining

and start fighting back.”

Harry's body tensed, and he straightened. “Yes.”

Once Kaia was sure Harry had truly calmed down, she was ready to leave.

But just as they turned to go, Harry called out hesitantly.

“Ms. Domont, do you think you could not tell the production team what happened today?”

Kaia raised her brows in surprise. “You still want to keep filming the show?”

“I do.”

This opportunity hadn’t ceasily. Harry had fought hard to get on the program, and he didn’t want to throw it

all away now.

Kaia’s expression softened into a small smile. “Alright. | won't say anything. | hope the rest of your ton set

goes well.”

But once she was in the car, Kaia’s hands were still trembling slightly. Her lips were tight with barely restrained

anger.

She opened X, and typed out a post with crisp determination:

[If you don’t know the full story, don’t rush to judge. | hope certain guests will think before they speak and | hope

the interemembers how to tell right from wrong.]

She hit send.

Jude had already posted earlier, laying out the full details of their conversation.

The tide of public opinion was shifting, and online outrage had begun to subside.

As for Luna-her vague, misleading post had already been quietly deleted.

In Alden’s office, Luna’s face was chalk-white.

“Blacklisted?” she choked. “Alden, are you really going to blacklist me?”

Alden frowned deeply. “Uncle Lucien made the call. Luna, why did you have to go after Kaia?”

Luna froze.

That again.

Her composure cracked. Her chest heaved as her frustration exploded,

“Why can’t | go after her? Didn't you see what she said abouton the show? Why is everything always my

fault?

“Alden... what happened to us? You used to have my back, no questions asked. You'd jump to protectin a

heartbeat. Now? God, do you regret it now? Do you not loveanymore?”

Alden’s lips pressed into a thin, silent line. He had no answer.

The tension between them lingered until Alden’s phone buzzed. He picked up.

It was Allen. “Bring Luna. Cto Graves Manor. Now.”

Kaia had been confused when Lucien

insisted they go back foCravest!!

Ftiday, their usual family dinner night.

But when they arrived, they found everyone already waiting— Zane and Joanne, Alden and Luna, and Allen were

all there.

Allen turned to them. “Lucien, you're back.”

Kaia offered a warm, polite smile, “Hello,”

“Csit beside me,” Allen said gently, patting the spot at his right.

Kaia obeyed. But Alden and Luna’s expressions immediately soured.

Luna clenched her phone, knuckles white from the pressure. Her heart burned with resentment.

Why does Allen always take Kaia’s side?

What makes her so special?

Lucien remained calm, smiling faintly as he patted Kaia’s back.

“Go sit with Dad. He's here to back you up.”

Zane, clearly sensing the storm brewing, sighed deeply.

“Lucien, you're the one who asked Dad to call us all back today, aren't you?”

Lucien didn’t bother to deny it.

“Yes. | wanted everyone here so | could ask my dear cousin Luna a simple question. Luna, what exactly were you

thinking?”

He paused, voice sharp as steel,

“During the show, you deliberately

Zane inhaled sharply. “Someone almost died? Lucien, that has to be a misunderstanding. How could it escalate

to that point?”

Kaia let out a short, cold laugh.

“There's no misunderstanding.

Because Luna incited things durin

one of the contestants. He couldn't

take the pressure and nearly jumped.

Lucien was the one who saved him.”

Her voice trembled slightly as she added, “But during the rescue, he fell from the eighth floor.”

“What?” Allen shot to his feet.
