Chapter 912
“Sir, is something wrong with the Madam? Should I call the police…?”
Lenny’s voice was tight with anxiety. Having witnessed so much with Nick and Khloe, his nerves were frayed to the edge.
Before he could finish, Nick cut him off coldly.
“No need.”
He tossed the surveillance footage back to Lenny. “She didn’t send me a message in advance. She might show up any moment.”
“This… this can’t be possible!”
Lenny froze, dumbfounded. He thought for a second he had misheard. Was this really the same man who treated his wife as if she were his life?
Nick’s voice was sharp and icy. “Why not? Look at the footage. She got out of the car on her own.”
Lenny’s mind buzzed. Could it be that Nick was sulking with his wife?
He leaned closer to the monitor. And indeed, just as Nick said, Khloe had stepped out herself. There was no one beside her. She lifted her gown and started running, even dropping her veil along the way.
Yet, all of it was so… abnormal. 1
“This isn’t like Madam at all. Perhaps there’s some other reason-
“Are you free all day?” Nick’s tone cut through Lenny’s words like ice.
The chill radiating from him was almost palpable
“The wedding starts in one hour. It’s being broadcast live worldwide. Do you really think she would run away at a moment like this?”
“Run away… no—”

By now, the Hunt family elders had heard. To understand what was happening, Charlotte and Winnie were questioned about whether they could contact Khloe.
Charlotte immediately tried calling her. But the line was constantly busy, and messages went unanswered.
Everyone gathered and ran through every possible scenario. The only plausible explanation: Khloe was facing a situation so urgent that she had no choice but to leave.
Winnie couldn’t sit still. “Where did this happen? We have to find Khloe!”
Michael grabbed her hand. “Don’t act rashly. There are so many guests and media outside. If you leave wearing your bridesmaid dress, you’ll attract attention.”
For now, the news was still contained internally. If it turned out to be a false alarm and Khloe merely had a temporary issue, stirring up a scene would make things hard to manage. The best solution: she needed to be at the wedding within the next hour.
Ethan frowned thoughtfully. “Even if something happened, Khloe wouldn’t ignore the consequences. I think Michael is right-she’ll probably return on her own soon.”
“Wait, wait, wait! What if Khloe really got into trouble this time?”
Charlotte, ever impulsive, flushed with worry at Ethan’s calm detachment.
