Zane raised his hands. “No big deal. Just heard about what happened with Kaia. Sounds like things got a little intense. She filed charges against her father’s wife?”

“Sally brought it on herself,” Lucien said.

Zane shook his head. “True, but the public won’t care about the details. It’ll still look bad that Kaia sent her own stepmother to prison. And now that you’ve blocked every attorney in the city from touching her case…”

It was too high–profile.

That was what Zane really came to say.

Lucien was drawing too much attention with his bold actions.

But Lucien wasn’t fazed. “So what? If someone tried to hurt Alden or even kill him, and even went after your wife, could you let that slide?”

Zane fell silent.

“If you can swallow that kind of insult and walk away like some noble pacifist, then fine. You do you. But me? I’m not that kind of coward.”

Zane frowned.

Zane could see Lucien wasn’t going to budge. His attempts at reasoning had gone nowhere, so he gave up with a sigh.

It wasn’t like he was particularly close to the Martins family. Ruben had just reached out to him through mutual contacts. Zane had only stepped in because Lucien’s approach might’ve seemed a little excessive.

But since Lucien clearly didn’t care, Zane wasn’t about to keep pressing.

Not long after, Lucien got a message from Jason, saying that Kaia was back at the villa.

Lucien deliberately waited a while longer before leisurely driving home. He would not let her off so easily.

When he walked into the villa, he glanced around the first floor. Kaia wasn’t there.

Jason approached quietly. “Mr. Graves, Mrs. Graves went straight upstairs to your room after she got back.”

Lucien frowned.
