Wedding My Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 52 Kaia Went Too Far Today

“Kimberly, keep your mouth shut when I’m speaking. If you can’t say anything useful, don’t blame me for stepping in where your mother clearly failed-teaching you how to behave.”

Kimberly trembled with rage, clutching her cheek. “Kaia, how dare you! You hit me again! Last time you threw hot water on me, and now this? Mom, Dad, are you just going to let her get away with this?”

As she shrieked, the elevator doors opened. The lobby was packed with people waiting for the lift.

Kaia strode out, not sparing a glance at the stunned trio behind her.

Kimberly and Sally stood frozen.

Only then did Kimberly realize she had just been slapped in the face, and Kaia had walked off as if nothing had happened.

Joanne and Zane followed Allen back to the Graves Manor.

As they left the venue, they were still being bombarded with questions from relatives and close friends, all wanting to know what on earth had just happened at the wedding.

They’d publicly announced their son’s engagement to their adopted daughter, Luna, but now, faced with the fallout, they could barely find words to explain. All they could do was swallow their frustration.

“Allen, Kaia went too far today,” Joanne muttered, her voice low but laced with resentment. “Even if she was upset with Alden, she didn’t have to make such a scene and humiliate us all in

front of everyone.”

Kaia’s actions had dragged Alden and Luna through the mud. Sure, Luna was their adopted daughter, but Joanne had raised her like her own, pampering her since she was a child.

She could criticize Luna herself, but the meddling gossip of outsiders was something she couldn’t stomach.

And the root of all this gossip, the one who’d sparked the whispers, was Kaia.

“Zane, you’re not still planning to help the Domont family’s company, are you?” Joanne asked sharply.

Zane shook his head, letting out a heavy sigh. “I’ll throw them a bone to keep things civil, but that’s it.”

With so many high-society elites at the wedding, the Gravés family was losing face, and Zane was seething.
