After spolite small talk, Malcolm gestured for everyone to start ordering.

“I heard abroad that the food here is famous. How about ladies first? Why don’t you pick ssignature

dishes?”

With that, the menu landed in Kaia’s hands.

Alex glanced at Kaia again, thinking how lucky Jude was. Thanks to him, his whole team was getting the VIP

treatment.

“Kaia, Vanessa, go ahead and order,” Alex said.

Kaia and Vanessa didn’t stand at the ceremony. They chose a few dishes and passed the menu back.

Alex had brought a bottle of champagne and two bottles of red wine, worried Malcolm might not take to whiskey.

But when he called the waiter to open the bottles, Malcolm chuckled, “Mr. Miller, my wife's puton a no-

alcohol rule lately. Sorry, | can’t join you for a drink.”

Alex grinned. “Alright, alright. Let's all stick to non-alcoholic drinks today, then.”

Malcolm's attention kept drifting to Kaia, tossing the conversation her way several times.

“Oh, | didn’t expect Ms. Domont to marry so young. You're talented, stunning-should’ve taken your tto find

someone truly worthy.”

Kaia bit her lip.

Is he implying Lucien isn’t good enough for me?

Jude caught the edge in Malcolm’s words too, sensing he didn’t

seem like someone Lucien would've introduced.

“Mr. Vane, you're too kind,” Kaia said. “My husband’s exceptional.”

“Mr. Vane, I've met Kaia’s husband,” Jude chimed in. “He's genuinely impressive.”

Jude, suspecting Malcolm had his eyes on Kaia, jumped in to back her up.

He'd make damn sure this creep kept his filthy hands off Kais.

Malcolm's lips twitched. He didn’t think Lucien was all that

great.

In his mind, Lucien was seven years older than Kaia,

Down the line, Kaia might end up playing nursemaid to him.

Elsewhere, Lucien sneezed.

Frank looked concerned. “Mr. Graves, should we turn down the

AC?"

Lucien shook his head. “No need. Keep going.”

By the end of the meal, everyone had noticed Malcolm's focus on

Kaia.

Alex, ever the smooth operator, suggested, “Kaia, why don’t you see Mr. Vane off?”

Jude was the first to object.

“Mr. Miller, I'll handle it,” he said.

Warren, the fourth man at the table, volunteered too. “I'll go with Mr. Halston to see Mr. Vane off.”

Malcolm realized they’d misunderstood his intentions.

“No need,” he said. “My driver's coming. You all head back.”

Jude agreed instantly, ushering Kaia to his car.

He couldn't hold back his complaints. “Kaia, you'd better ask Mr. Graves if he really introduced this Malcolm guy.

If not, I'm done with him tomorrow. That old creep was staring at you all night.”

Kaia pressed her lips together. “Jude, you might've gotten the wrong idea.”

“Wrong idea? Something's off about him! | messed up. |

shouldn't have gotten greedy over this damn contract.”

Seeing Jude spiral into self-blame, Kaia cclean. “Jude, Mr. Vane’s probably my mom's relative.”

Jude’s eyes went wide. “What?”

“That's what | think. But he didn’t bring it up directly, so I didn’t either.”

Jude nodded, understanding her hesitation.

After a while, Kaia asked Jude to drop her off at a street corner to wait for her family’s driver.

Soon, a black Bentley pulled up.

Malcolm, who'd just said goodbye, stepped out.

“Ms. Domont, I’m sorry. I'm not what you all think.”

He felt foolish for how the evening went and needed to salvage his image.

“| just...”

“I know,” Kaia said with a faint smile. “I should call you Uncle Malcolm, right?”

Malcolm blinked, confused.

“How to do...”

Kaia laughed softly, “You're my mom's brother. My husband told me.”

Malcolm was stunned.

This only deepened his belief that

Kaia shouldn't have meiyied om

He hadn't expected Lucien to figure him out so quickly.

Malcolm, a man pushing fifty, turned beet red. After a long

pause, his eyes brimmed with tears. “I'm sorry, Kaia. | ctoo late.”

Kaia shook her head. “Not too late.

Then, they found a nearby coffee shop and sat down.

Kaia, thinking about her mother’s family rift, shared the diary

story.

Malcolm's already red eyes grew wetter.

“Kaia, do you blme? To be honest, your dad’s collapse was because of me.
