Her family had urged her several times, and only after touching up her makeup again did Grandma finally let Mrs. Lambert wheel her out. "Chloe should be here by now. Don't keep her waiting too long."

Mrs. Lambert teased from the side, "Oh, you've only got Ms. Chloe on your mind. But there are plenty of dignitaries and VIPs here today."

Grandma's face showed a hint of pride. "What do they matter compared to my granddaughter? By the way, where's the stock transfer document I asked you to prepare?"

"It's all ready. The transfer can be processed tomorrow. But if you give all those shares to Ms. Chloe, I'm afraid it'll cause some trouble in the family."

"Hmph, so what if they don't care for her? Does that mean no one else can? Chloe's as good as gone to them now that she's married. What would matter to them if I gave her the shares? Besides, you saw how Anna played them all like fools today. Do you really expect Chloe to get anything from them in the future? I'd better start transferring my assets to her while I'm still alive."

"Ms. Chloe is so lucky to have a grandmother who cares for her so much."

I stood there listening, feeling a strange mix of emotions. Grandma is so kind, but I'll never be able to enjoy her kindness again.

Mrs. Lambert wheeled the chair through a shortcut to the banquet hall. Even before getting close, I heard a low, cold voice. "Still no sign of her? It's been days! How can a person just vanish like that?"

"Mr. Bolton, we've searched everywhere possible. Unless..."

The sentence was cut short as the two servants spotted Grandma and her entourage and immediately fell silent.

I found it odd. What was he searching for? Could he be looking for me? That seems unlikely; we've only met a few times.

Luke never showed any interest in me, so why would Carter be searching for me? I must be overthinking this.

Snow fell heavily, like a thick net under the streetlights. Carter stood in a black suit, his dark hair and shoulders dusted with

snow.

His sharp eyes were as cold as ever, but when he saw Grandma, he lowered his gaze slightly and spoke with respect, "Madam."
