NovelBookChapter 42 Car Crash
Once that was done, no amount of pressure could change things.
It would be over.
Lucien raised an eyebrow.
So, she escaped the house just to call off the wedding?
“You're sure about this?” he asked again, his voice deep,
resonant.
And in that deep voice, Kaia could have sworn she heard a faint, almost imperceptible thread of excitement.
She nodded firmly, her expression resolute. “One hundred
percent.”
This trip was clearly important, and he was definitely cutting it
close.
So, Lucien did as she asked, pulling over at the convenience store. As she got out, he added, almost as an
afterthought, “Textwhen you get there.”
Then, as if sensing she might misinterpret, he quickly tacked on. “Or text Alyssa. Either one.”
Kaia smiled, “Okay.”
She watched the black car vanish into the night.
It was 9 PM. From here to the Graves Manor would take about forty minutes.
Showing up this late was pushing it, but Kaia couldn't wait another minute.
She then hailed a taxi.

Meanwhile, Sally had just stormed into the club when she received a call from the bodyguards.
“What? She’s gone? You absolute idiots! Two grown men and you can’t even keep one girl locked up? Why am |
even paying you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFuming, she barreled toward the private room Tobias had booked. His assistant nearly jumped out of his skin
when he saw
her.
“Where is Tobias Domont?” She narrowed her eyes at the closed door.
The assistant stammered, trying to block her view of the closed door. “M-Mrs. Domont! What a surprise! | didn’t
know—"
Sally snorted, “Can’t | be? You've got one minute to drag him out, or I'm kicking that damn door down myself.”
The assistant’s heart pounded.
This was a nightmare. He was supposed to be playing lookout for Tobias’ little rendezvous, and now Sally was
here, ready to catch him red-handed.
The assistant scurried to a corner, turning his phone’s voldown to a whisper. “Sir... um... your wife's here.
Right outside. You might wanna cout. Like, now.”
Ten minutes later, the door finally opened.
Tobias strolled out like nothing was wrong, adjusting his cufflinks and smoothing his collar like sdamn
peacock.
He frowned, “What are you doing here?”
Sally noticed the lipstick mark on his neck. She took several deep breaths to suppress her anger before saying,
“Your
precious daughter jumped out the window and ran off! And you still have the nerve to fool around here?”
Sthings, they both knew, were better left unsaid.
Tobias’ face flushed a dull red. “Don’t be ridiculous. Where is
she? How could she possibly run away?”
“Someone helped her! You better find out who it was and fix this now. Because if that girl doesn’t show up in a
wedding dress the day after tomorrow—"
She leaned in, voice like venom-
“-you can explain to the Graves family why we lost everything.”

Alden was taking Luna out for a late-night bite. “Luna, you barely touched your dinner.”
He glanced over. “And cut it out with the dieting, okay? You're already rail-thin.”
Luna lowered her gaze, a soft blush coloring her cheeks. “Thank you, Alden. But, you know... thinner always
looks better on camera.”
Her new single was dropping soon, and Alden had already pulled a few strings-booked her on a couple of variety
shows.
For that alone, there was no way she was going on sstupid blind date with a spoiled playboy heir.
Alden gave her a warm smile. “I really don’t know what to do
with you.”
Suddenly, a dull ache throbbed in his stomach. He pressed a hand to it, rubbing gently.
Luna's face instantly etched with
concern. “Alden, 5 your sfofAddh

Alden gritted his teeth, groaning as he struggled with his seatbelt. “Luna... you okay?”
Luna rubbed her forehead, dazed. “Yeah, | think so...”
Then she heard the commotion outside. “Alden, the other car... Are they alright?”
Alden scowled. “Stay put. I'll help you out.”
He didn’t have tto worry about anyone else. His precious Luna was all that mattered.
Alden helped Luna out of the car, his gaze fixed on the mangled taxi a short distance away.
At the smoment, he spotted Kaia.
