Wedding My Ex's Uncle Chapter 28 See you tonight 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 come you never told me your 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 want me to do , steal it ? " " Then what about that 15 percent Kaia was talking about ? " Wedding My Ex's Uncle Chapter 28 See you tonight Kaia never really expected to get the shares . She smirked a little .

" " Then what about that 15 percent Kaia was talking about ? " Chapter 28 See you tonight 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 I 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 some outsider'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 . I made a promise to Kimberly , and I'll keep it . " Right now , we just need to make sure Kaia marries Alden without any more drama . " He knew he wouldn't get any real sleep until that wedding happened . Once the Graves and Domont families were officially connected , 17:28 Chapter 28 See you tonight that's when he'd finally feel secure . Kimberly had stayed out all night partying with her friends . She didn't come back until noon . " Mom ? Where's Grandma ? Didn't you bring her home last night ? " she asked . Sally was still fuming . " She went back already . " Kimberly looked totally lost . " What ? Why ?! I 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 ? " 17:28 Chapter 28 See you tonight 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 some side branch , and you know full well what's going on between him and Luna . " When Kaia got married , it wasn't going to be some perfect 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 . " ***** Chapter 28 See you tonight 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 . 17:28 Chapter 28 See you tonight 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 Group's agency contract from us . Once Alex knows the whole story , he won't take Miles ' side . " Vanessa chimed in . " Not necessarily . I 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 . 17:28 Chapter 28 See you tonight 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 I 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 believe me if I said this was all just a weird accident ? " Lucien smirked . " An accident ? You mean you randomly opened my chat , spaced out for thirty minutes , accidentally 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 crazier - I'm heading near your office later . Dinner to discuss these ' accidents " ? " Kaia let out a defeated sigh . Could she say no ? Not a chance . 17-28 Chapter 28 See you tonight " Sure , Mr. Graves . " She forced it out . Lucien's eyes narrowed slightly , and he let out a soft , knowing chuckle . This little brat . I told her not to call me Mr. 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 . Write your comment 1
