Lauretta Ablett pivoted to face Lance Olson. Seeing his expression, she scowled and couldn't help but ask, "Lance Olson, what's your beef with this decision?"
Lance lifted his head, locked eyes with Lauretta Ablett, then glanced at Keira Summers, who was on the verge of tears. His lips moved slightly, but it took him a moment to speak.
"I..."
Under the table, his foot suddenly stomped hard. Lance saw the warning look in Lauretta's eyes, paused for a moment, then gave a slight shake of his head.
"I don't have any issues."
Keira, whose nerves had been tightly wound, finally relaxed. A satisfied smile appeared on Carolina Petry's face.
Viviana Reeves noticed that Lauretta Ablett and Grover Olson didn't look too pleased, so she started chatting with them, trying to distract them.
"What's up with this waiter? We've been waiting for ages and our food still hasn't arrived!"
Viviana Reeves complained. Lauretta Ablett also frowned.
"Lance, go check it out, see what's the hold-up."
Before Lauretta finished speaking, the sound of a glass hitting the floor was heard, followed by a shriek. Carolina immediately stood up, frantically patting the water stains on her clothes.
Carolina Petry paused. Her face, which had been lit up with joy because of Keira's wedding news gradually turned pale.
At this moment, Carolina was clutching her left wrist tightly with her right hand, sweating profusely.
Keira let out a gasp, "Granny, what happened?!"
Grover immediately stood up, looked at Lance, and said urgently.
"Lance, start the car and take Carolina to the hospital."
