The Ruined Bride of Velvet Nights by Brick Moving Ant

Chapter 10

Lysander stepped onto the balcony and dialed Navier’s number, intending to convince her to play along with his divorce scheme.

But after countless attempts, all he got was the same robotic voice message:

“Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off…”

A flicker of unease settled in his chest.

Brow furrowed, Lysander pulled up WhatsApp to message her instead.

But a glaring red exclamation mark popped up.

“Goddammit, Navier! What the hell are you playing at?!” he muttered, furiously typing. “It’s the middle of the night–is this really the time for one of your little tantrums?”

Fighting back his growing agitation and panic, he called his secretary.

“Nick, contact Navier immediately. Tell her I need to see her ASAP.”

Following the directive, Nick mobilized multiple people to call and message Navier, but no one got through.

“Sir,” he reported back nervously, “Mrs. Vanderbilt–she’s completely unreachable. Should we launch a more thorough investigation?”

“NO! Let her sulk all she wants!” Lysander snapped before ending the call.
