Chapter 913
“What? Leave it be?”
Charlotte and Winnie were stunned.
Was that really what Nick had said?
Winnie couldn’t help blurting out, “Has Nick gone mad? That’s Khloe! That’s his wife!”
Seeing Winnie’s volume spike, Michael quickly pressed her against his chest to calm her.
Meanwhile, Michelle and Ralph arrived, having also heard the news from Arista and Loretta. The elders were already a nervous mess.
Oscar had just suggested calling the police-forget the wedding for now, the priority was finding Khloe. But the moment the suggestion was made, Nick had it blocked.
When Michelle arrived, the Hunt family elders had gone to find Nick.
“I remember-Lucas’s network is quite powerful Can’t we get him to help?” Michael suddenly thought of Lucas. He had heard Khloe mention that Lucas’s underground intelligence was top-notch. Previously, when Clarice and Lacuna aimed to harm Nick, it was Lucas who handled things behind the scenes.
Now, with the wedding, Lucas’s people were already deployed in Goldmont City, presumably prepared for emergencies.
“Yes! Lucas!” Winnie’s eyes lit up.
But at that moment, everyone realized-Lucas was nowhere to be found. Among all the family and friends present, he was the only one unaccounted for. 1
Minutes ticked by. The wedding was about to begin. The group paced back and forth outside the Royal Palace several times, but there was still no sign of Khloe.
Finally, the live broadcast of the wedding started
The doors of the Royal Palace’s grandest banquet hall, “The Monarch Ballroom,” opened. Guests poured in, elegantly dressed, the camera capturing every detail. A massive circular screen played a breathtaking epic of the country’s civilization-from ancient river maps to modern aerospace marvels-drawing gasps of awe.
But on the red carpet where the bride should have appeared, no one showed.
Whispers slowly spread across the enormous hall
“Did you hear? The bride is missing!”

“What happened?”
“They say she’s run away…?”
“No way! This is a globally broadcast wedding at the Royal Palace!”
“Absolutely! Someone actually saw her get out at the intersection. She even took off her veil herself!”
“Oh my god… if this is true, this love story is about to become a national joke!”
“A joke? This is shaming our country!”
Arista could no longer contain herself. Nick had repeatedly told them not to worry, but now, with Khloe still missing, something must have gone wrong! She should have called off the live broadcast and alerted the authorities earlier, but Nick had refused. (1)
Loretta and Leon were also unable to sit still. Even George, who had always been the most confident in his son and daughter-in-law, now felt sweat prickling his palms.
The host waited at the end of the red carpet, tense.
Then, Nick suddenly appeared from the opposite side.
