Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 423

She immediately tried to call Tyler, but his phone was out of service.

Secretary Jensen noticed this and explained, “There’s been some trouble at Highcrest. Mr. Erickson rushed over there in the middle of the night and is probably still dealing with it now. That’s likely why…”

The area he was in must have had no signal. Tyler was completely unreachable.

“Call that brat Owen right now!” Parker roared.

“Yes, sir!”

It took a while before Owen finally picked up.

He was still hungover. The past few days, Sadie had pushed him to his limit, and he’d been drinking almost nonstop. Now, he barely knew what was going on.

“What?” he mumbled, stumbling toward the bathroom.

“Yeah, Tyler mentioned earlier that Vivienne would be heading to my place for the live event.”

“She didn’t show up? Then where did she go?”

“What?! She went to Tyler and Emilia’s house? Damn it!”

Owen sobered up in an instant. He didn’t care about anything else—he grabbed some mouthwash, threw on some clothes, and rushed out the door.

As he ran, he called the staff at his own villa.

“What the hell happened?” Owen bellowed.

“Sir, we’re not sure. There was a burst pipe, water everywhere. The production crew came, took one look, and said the live stream was canceled. Then they just left,” the staff reported immediately.

“Shit!”

Owen hung up and didn’t waste another second. He jumped in his car and sped straight toward Hillside Manor.

…

Meanwhile, the internet was in an uproar. At The Glenn Group’s event venue, the crowd was swelling—people were practically packed shoulder-to-shoulder.

Everyone was gathered around Emilia, who stood in the center of a sea of people. The buzz of conversation, the pointing fingers, the relentless photos and live streams—all of it drowned out any other sound.

Everyone was waiting to see Emilia stumble, to watch her humiliation unfold.

Both online and in person, this live-streaming showdown had become an instant classic, spawning countless memes and catchphrases:

“Why are you wearing someone else’s clothes?”

“If you want excitement, you might as well go all in!”
