Felicia smiled but remained silent.
Of course, she wasn’t worried because there was someone even more anxious than her.
In a luxurious apartment situated in the bustling heart of Khogend, Kayla was seething with rage. She took a cup from the table and hurled it at the television!
The screen was plastered with news about the upcoming engagement party.
The Lawson family, the foremost among the four prestigious families, was a prestigious and powerful clan. Their alliance with the richest family in Khogend, the Fuller family, was naturally at the center of attention.
Not only that, but Matthew was going all out for the occasion, renting the most extravagant venue in the city. The construction of this venue alone had cost millions, making it a sight beyond imagination. From a distance, it resembled a luxurious castle, and its interior was as dreamy as could be.
Matthew had ordered that the entire venue, inside and out, be reserved for the celebration.
The guest list included prestigious families and high society, and in an unprecedented move, major media outlets were also invited to cover the event.
Additionally, there would be a performance with over a thousand drones, along with a citywide fireworks display.
Such a spectacle was sure to be the envy of all!
However, Kayla thought Felicia didn’t deserve any of these. She felt she should’ve been in Felicia’s position, enjoying all of those.
Kayla was infuriated and began smashing things in her rage, breaking two of her perfectly manicured nails in the process.
After she had enough of her tantrum and the room lay in shambles, she finally calmed down. She turned to the maid nearby and shouted, “Are you blind? Get this mess cleaned up!”
Myra had assigned the maid to look after Kayla, concerned that she might struggle after being thrown out of the family and left alone in such a luxurious apartment.
However, the maid hadn’t anticipated that Kayla’s temper would only worsen after leaving the Fuller family.
She didn’t see them as people, barking orders at them without a second thought. And when her mood soured, she took it out on them-throwing things at them or hurling insults their way. The maids didn’t dare retaliate, just hurriedly cleaning up the wreckage while trying to maintain their composure.
Once the room was tidy, Kayla generously declared, “All of you, get lost. I don’t need you tonight.”
“Yes, Ms. Fuller.”
After the maids left, Kayla picked up her phone and dialed Arnold, here voice soft and shaky, tinged with a hint of tears. “Arnie, I’m not feeling well. Could you take me to the hospital?”
Upon hearing that Kayla was unwell, Arnold immediately rushed to leave, but Matthew stopped him at the door.
“The engagement banquet is tomorrow, and the whole city will be watching. Why aren’t you staying home? Where are you going?” “Grandpa…” Arnold hesitated, quickly fabricating an excuse. “There’s something I need to handle at the company. I’ll be back soon.”
At this, Matthew’s expression
softened. As the heir of the Lawson family, Arnold had at least proven competent in managing company affairs, which didn’t disappoint him.
“Go on, but be back early.”
“Yes, Grandpa. You should get some rest.”
Arnold nodded and got into the car.
By the time he arrived at Kayla’s opulent apartment, it was already 10:30 pm.
Worry gnayed at him as he thought about Kayla’s condition. After being cast out by her family, she was now unwell. He didn’t even ring the doorbell in his urgency-he just
knocked loudly on the door.
After several attempts with no response, anxiety surged within him.
He prepared to force the door open but, upon turning the handle, discovered that it was unlocked.
“Kayla? Where are you?”
Arnold stepped inside, finding the apartment more akin to a sprawling flat, with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing a breathtaking river view.
He called out her name several times, but there was still no sign of her. Just as he headed toward the bedroom, the bathroom door swung open. Turning around, he saw Kayla emerge barefoot, clad in a delicate, sheer gown.
