Kaia never really expected to get the shares. She smirked a little. “So who's actually paying for the nursing

home?”

Sally’s face turned dark. “I am.”

She said it slowly, through gritted teeth. “I'll pay for it.”

Finally, the whole mess was over.

Kaia didn’t push the shares any further.

She helped Claire pack with a big smile on her face.

Then she grabbed the card with 500 thousand from Sally’s hand and drove Claire back herself.

Sally just stood there on the curb, fuming, as they drove off.

She took it out on Tobias. “Tobias! How cyou never toldyour mom still owns five percent of the

company?!”

She would've never found out if it wasn’t for today.

Tobias took a second before answering. “Dad gave it to her. What did you wantto do, steal it?”

“Then what about that 15 percent Kaia was talking about?”

So she married into this family, gave him all these years, and didn’t get a single piece of the pic.

Tobias looked away. “We're family. No point fighting over who owns what. Everything | have goes to Kimberly

anyway.”

What really ate at him was not having a son.

Two daughters meant everything he built would eventually land in soutsider’s hands.

That thought made his stomach turn.

But Sally was done playing nice. She'd just dropped half a million and got doused like a dog.

Hell no!

“Then buy Kimberly a villa. This place is old, we should move.”

Tobias’ expression tightened. “The company needs cash. Just give it time. | made a promise to Kimberly, and I'll

keep it.

“Right now, we just need to make sure Kaia marries Alden without any more .”

He knew he wouldn't get any real sleep until that wedding happened.

Once the Graves and Domont families were officially connected,

that’s when he’d finally feel secure.

Kimberly had stayed out all night partying with her friends. She didn’t cback until noon.

“Mom? Where's Grandma? Didn't you bring her hlast night?” she asked.

Sally was still fuming. “She went back already.”

Kimberly looked totally lost. “What? Why?! | saw Kaia at Redblossom Restaurant last night and told her Grandma

was here. Why'd you send her back?”

Sally just glared at her.

This girl really can’t keep her mouth shut.

Sally sighed. “Whatever. Your dad said after Kaia’s wedding. he’s getting you a villa as your wedding gift.”

“For real?!” Kimberly's eyes lit up.

One of her girlfriends had mocked her yesterday, saying her family was broke. Once she got that villa, she’d rub

that girl's face in it.

Then she frowned. “Wait... Kaia’s really marrying Alden?”

Sally gave her a cold smile. “Kimberly, let that boy go. He’s not right for you. Sure, he’s the eldest grandson of

Sir Graves, but he’s not running the show.

“He's just heading up sside branch, and you know full well what's going on between him and Luna.”

When Kaia got married, it wasn’t going to be sperfect love

story.

Sally never thought this marriage was worth being jealous over.

“But...” Kimberly pouted.

It still stung. That was the Graves family.

Sally patted her hand. “Think bigger. Alden’s not the only bachelor in that family.”

Kimberly blinked, and then something clicked.

“Mom... are you saying...?”

Sally gave a slow, knowing smile. “Yeah. He's the real power in that house. If you catch his eye, Kaia won't be

the one who marries rich. You will.”

After making sure Claire was settled. Kaia headed to the firm that afternoon.

Jude's office was empty. It felt weird not seeing him there.

“Where's Jude?” she asked.

Warren leaned in. “Mr. Miller's office. Mr. Lambert is in there,

too.”

Kaia raised an eyebrow. Everyone knew Alex Miller had two top deputies and they couldn’t stand each other.

Warren lowered his voice. “It’s about the Graves contract. Jude went in to fight for it.”

“They were about to give it to Jude, but right before signing. Mr. Lambert called them and said he’d slash his rate

by five percent. So they ghosted Jude.”

Kaia’s eyes widened. “What? That's just stealing!”

Warren gave a bitter smile. “Exactly. I've never seen Jude this pissed. He almost chewed Mr. Lambert out right

there.”

Kaia sat down and thought it through.

This contract was really important to her. It would give her a serious edge in the next round of promotions.

But this was their firm's internal fight. She couldn't drag Lucien into it.

It wouldn't be fair, and it definitely wasn’t her style.

She stared at the chat box, then deleted the words she’d just typed.

A message soon popped up.

Lucien: [Got something to say? You've been camped out in my chat box for half an hour.]

With a clatter, Kaia’s phone fell to the ground.

Warren leaned in. “Kaia? Are you okay? Still upset about Jude and Miles competing?

“Don't worry. Miles slashed his rates

maliciously just to steal Graves m

Group's agepeventdct from us.

OhcE Alex knows the whole story, he

won't take Miles’ side.” The content is

Vanessa chimed in. “Not necessarily. | heard someone has connections with Graves Group.”

“Who?” Kaia and Warren asked in unison.

“Her!” Vanessa lowered her voice. “Jude’s ex-wife!”

Kaia’s eyes widened.

Then, she remembered her phone was still catching dust on the floor. She turned to flip it over, but her brain

straight up blue-screened.

Why have | been on a call with Lucien for a whole ten minutes?

Kaia felt like her world was crashing down.

Her hands shook as she held the phone to her ear. “Mr. Graves, I'm so sorry... Would you believeif | said this

was all just a weird accident?”

Lucien smirked. “An accident? You

mean you randomly opened myehat,

ateldentally called me, and let me

listen to your whole office gossip?”

Kaia wanted to crawl into a hole and just die.

Finally, she squeaked out, “Yes!”

Lucien kept pushing. “That's quite a

story. But here's something. om

Kaia let out a defeated sigh.

Could she say no?

Not a chance.

“Sure, Mr. Graves.” She forced it out.

Lucien’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he let out a soft, knowing chuckle.

This little brat.

| told her not to callMr. Graves. Yet she’s only getting more comfortable with it.

“See you tonight then, Ms. Domont,” he said.

Kaia nearly fainted when she heard those words.
