Claimed by the Crown Heir novel Chapter 78

How could it be such a coincidence?

Lucas's face darkened to the extreme, his tone freezing over. "Stop making excuses and pull up the footage right now."

"Sir, we are willing to assist you in finding your item, but if you continue to cause a scene, I will have no choice but to call the police."

Just as Lucas was about to erupt, Chloe ran over, gently tugging at his arm, coaxing him softly. "Luke, this is Sterling City, not Savannah. Making a scene will ruin your reputation."

Whether Vanessa had been here tonight or not, she absolutely could not let Lucas find her.

Lucas forcibly clamped down on his fury, his face still stormy.

Who was that man?

Why was he acting so intimate with Vanessa?

How could she let another man kiss her?

"Then call the cops," Lucas said, his voice as cold as ice. Even if it turned into a massive scandal, he was going to drag Vanessa out of hiding today.

The hotel manager immediately dialed 911.

The police arrived swiftly. After a brief rundown of the situation, they verified that the surveillance system was indeed down for maintenance and not being deliberately concealed.

Faced with this reality, Lucas's face turned blacker than pitch.

"My girlfriend has gone missing in this hotel! I'm extremely concerned for her safety, and I need you to help me find her right now!"

If Vanessa refused to see him, then he would use the cops to track her down.

Hearing the word 'girlfriend', Chloe's face went deathly pale, her body swaying slightly.

"Luke, you and Van..."

"Shut up."

Lucas shot her a glacial stare, every word dripping with ice.

Chloe gripped the hem of her dress, terrified to speak another word.

The officers asked him a few routine questions, then turned around to make a phone call.
