NovelGoldChapter 596
But Linda had everything planned out in advance. No doubt, there'd be someone stationed at the door, making
sure nobody got too close. Counting on outside help just wasn't going to cut it. Meanwhile, the wedding had
already kicked off. Yet, it was clear to everyone that the groom was still a no-show. The wedding planner was in a
total panic, sending out folks left and right to track him down. Antoand Tara were equally on edge. The
ceremony was about to start, and Lucas, that rascal, where could he possibly be?
This was déja vu from three years ago. Lucas had pulled a vanishing act back then too, leaving the entire
wedding high and dry and Chloe to hold down the fort solo. Thankfully, Chloe had handled it with grace. Her
stunning looks and remarkable poise meant she didn't even flinch, let alone get mad, keeping any potential
awkwardness at bay. People just felt sorry for her and slammed Lucas for being so undependable.
Could Lucas have had second thoughts and decided to pull the sstunt again? The nerve of him, when it was
his idea to marry Linda in the first place. He was the one who wanted this extravagant wedding. Now, with all of
Riverbrook's elite gathered, causing another scene would surely tarnish the Moncada family's reputation in high
society. Tara was fuming, ramping up the search efforts for Lucas, even deploying the venue's security guards.
Speople made their way to the lounge, but there was someone stationed outside. Every tsomeone

somewhere else."
Whispers had begun to ripple through the banquet hall. Chloe was trying to reach Connor on the phone. Connor
had mentioned stepping out for a bit, but he hadn't cback, and now Chloe couldn't get through to him. What
on earth was going on? Chloe was getting worried.
Lisa and Chloe were seated at the stable. Lisa was dressed elegantly today, and ever since she arrived, she
had been on her best behavior, not uttering a word more than necessary. Leah hadn't wanted to bring her
initially, but Lisa had shown up on her own. At the hotel entrance, she was stopped for not having an invitation
and caused quite a scene, drawing a crowd. Leah had no choice but to bring her in. But once inside, Lisa was a
different person, quietly sitting in her seat, occasionally glancing at her phone and sending messages. Chloe,
who had arrived early, didn't bother her. They acted like strangers.
Leah had been on edge, worried Lisa might cause a scene, but things had calmed down a bit. Watching the
chaos unfold, Lisa felt today was just the perfect storm. Connor was nowhere to be seen. Chloe was all by
herself, and Lucas was MIA. The Moncada family had all their security out searching for him. The scene was a bit
chaotic, and the security was paper-thin. Lisa felt a smug satisfaction. The murkier the waters, the bigger the
fish you could catch. She picked up her phone, strolled over to the window, and made a call. The line connected
quickly. Lisa whispered, "Are you here yet?"
