Chapter 194 The Tampered Car

Kaia waited two more days before finally going to pick up her

car.

The clerk at the dealership smiled and said, “Ms. Domont, feel free to inspect it.”

Kaia gave it a quick glance, her tone flat. “Looks fine. I’ve been a customer long enough to know what to expect.”

She got in and, before pulling out, gave Chris a call. “Pick me up at Lumina Shopping Center.”

Kaia drove along until a massive truck suddenly swerved across her lane. She instinctively tried to hit the brakes, but it didn’t work. She had no choice but to wrench the steering wheel hard to the side. The red sedan veered sharply and slammed head–on

into a roadside tree.

The front of the car crumpled on impact, thick smoke billowing from the hood.

Chris had just parked when he noticed the crash at the intersection. That car somehow seemed rather familiar.

Wait. That couldn’t be Mrs. Graves‘ car, could it?

Chris rushed toward the scene. Two bystanders were already calling 911.

Someone had dragged the driver out of the car. It was indeed

Kaia.

“Mrs. Graves!” Chris nearly choked on his own heartbeat. His voice broke with panic.

“Mrs. Graves, can you hear me?!”

Kaia’s face was ghostly pale, blood trickling down her forehead. She was unconscious.

Chris‘ hands trembled as he called Lucien.

“Hello.” Lucien’s voice came through, distant and cold.

“Mr. Graves…” Chris‘ voice cracked. “Mrs. Graves, she… she was in a car accident!”

There was a loud thud as the phone slipped from Lucien’s hand and hit the floor.

Something shattered inside him.
