Wedding My Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 51 A Quarrel

“Someone stole your car!” Paul exclaimed, returning from a quick errand to find the car gone.

Lucien’s lips twitched. “Stole it? Really?”

“I’m serious! I just went out for a bit, and when I came back, it was gone! Should I call the police?” Paul was baffled. Who dares steal a luxury car in broad daylight, right outside a hotel like this?

Lucien glanced out the window. “No one stole it. I took it myself. Take the rest of the day off, Paul,” he added. “And maybe lay off the soap operas.”

Paul stared at his phone in disbelief after Lucien hung up. He was completely lost.

Meanwhile, Tobias had barely settled into his car when his phone buzzed with calls from relatives, all demanding to know what had gone wrong at the wedding.

“Mom, Kaia’s out of her mind!” Kimberly said, barely containing her glee. “How dare she call off the engagement in public? And to target Luna of all people! Luna is the Graves family’s golden girl!”

Sally noticed Tobias’ darkening expression but couldn’t resist

Tobias’ temper snapped. He slammed his fist into the steering wheel, startling Sally and Kimberly. “Enough!” he roared. “Haven’t I had enough to deal with?”

Kimberly, stung by the sudden outburst, pouted. “Dad, you’re so unfair! This is Kaia’s mess, and you’re yelling at us? You should be chewing her out, not us!”

“Where’s Kaia now?” Tobias demanded.

“She told Allen she was heading to the hospital,” Sally said.

Tobias’ face fell, a flicker of disappointment crossing his features. “Enough talk. We’re all going to the hospital. My mother’s sick, and none of you have even visited.”

Kimberly’s lips curled in reluctance. “Fine,” she muttered. What’s the point of visiting some old lady? A stroke? She’d be better off dead.
