The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 52

Chapter 520 

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. 

“…” 

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.” 

When they arrived at the hospital, it was found that Carolina had fractured her left hand. 

While watching the doctor treat Carolina, Lauretta asked in confusion. 

“I wonder how her left hand suddenly got fractured?” 

Carolina closed her lips tightly and remained silent. 

What could she say? 

That her hand had been fractured when shaking hands with Damon Harper? 

Besides, the handshake was so brief, how could this happen? 

She thought for a long time but still couldn’t figure it out. 

Was it that Damon’s strength was enormous, or had she offended him somehow? Or had her hand been injured previously, which was why she felt such pain during the handshake? 

There were too many possibilities, but she didn’t think she could have offended Damon Harper. 

All she could do was shake her head, “I might have bumped into something by accident. I’m getting old, a slight knock can cause a serious injury.” 

Lauretta nodded thoughtfully, “That’s quite possible. You must be more careful in the future. Looking at your injury, it may take a year and a half to fully recover.” 

Carolina Petry heaved a sigh, feeling helpless. What a disaster! 

At the Stardust Soiree, after Damon entered, he noticed that only Kane, Jeanette, Zoey and Rose were in the booth, but Chloe was nowhere to be 

found. 

“Where is she?” 

His handsome face was devoid of any expression, but his icy voice made everyone feel a chill down their spines.
