Chapter 263 That’s Not Her Grandson

Kaia’s jaw dropped, her mind reeling. “Wait, what?

“Who in the world would kidnap them?”

The words slipped out before a sudden realization hit her. “Hold on… It’s not entirely out of the question. I tried calling Tony today, and the line was dead.”

Lucien’s brow creased, his eyes narrowing as he mulled it over. “Keep Tony’s visit to the firm under wraps for now. Let’s play dumb–I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”

Kaia felt a prickle of unease herself. Something wasn’t adding

1. up.

“Kidnapping over a child? Really? Tony’s a foreigner. Would he actually be reckless enough to snatch a kid?”

Even if he did, he’d never get away with taking the child back to his country.

No matter how she turned it over, Tony didn’t seem like the type to pull this off.

So why, out of nowhere, would Luna and her son vanish?

Zane’s face was flushed with rage, his fist slamming the table with a thunderous crack. “Find them! I won’t stand for someone targeting my family like this!”

Joanne, tears streaming down her cheeks, sobbed

uncontrollably, “Luna’s always been so sweet to everyone–she hardly ever gets into arguments with anyone! How could this happen? Those monsters–Nic’s not even eight months old! It’s heartless!”

The Graves Manor was swarming with police. Technicians had installed tracking software on Zane, Joanne, and Alden’s phones to trace any calls from the kidnappers.

The Graves family’s search teams were fanning out across the

city.

Kaia and Lucien arrived that evening. Alyssa, her belly round with pregnancy, was at the manor with Landon, preparing to leave.

“Kaia, you’re here?”

Alyssa tugged Kaia aside, eager to talk.

“Kaia, how could someone kidnap Luna? And not just her–they took her baby too?”

Kaia shook her head, her expression clouded with uncertainty.

“I’m not sure. How do they even know it’s a kidnapping?”

“They said Luna took Nic for a vaccine. The nanny stepped away to use the bathroom, and when she came back, they were gone.

“Security footage caught a man using some drug to knock Luna out, then dragging her through an emergency exit.

“But the cameras didn’t show how they left the hospital. They’ve been missing for eight hours now.”

Kaia nodded, her tone soft but firm. “You and Landon should go home and stay away for a few days. Things are pretty chaotic here. You need to take care of yourself, okay?”

Alyssa flashed a playful smile, her voice teasing. “Got it. But you watch yourself too, Kaia. Something about this feels… fishy. Luna’s always been so calculating—getting nabbed this easily? I’m not buying it.”

Sometimes, a gut feeling proves more reliable than logic. Alyssa had disliked Luna since they were kids, and all these years, Luna had never once truly gotten burned.

Alyssa might even know Luna better than Kaia did.

This whole situation screamed trouble. If it were a genuine kidnapping, then she would try to help. But if it was a setup, Luna was clearly coming for them.

That was why Alyssa felt compelled to give Kaia a heads–up.

After their whispered exchange, Alyssa left. Kaia hurried to catch up

with Lucien as they stepped into the Graves Manor.

Lucien slipped his hand into hers, giving it a gentle squeeze.

With him beside her, Kaia felt a quiet strength settle over her.

The moment they walked in, Zane’s piercing gaze locked onto Kaia.

“Lucien, you’re here,” he said, his voice heavy with suspicion.

Joanne, however, was far more emotional than her husband.

If Luna had an archrival, it could only be Kaia, no question.

So, naturally, Joanne’s suspicions zeroed in on her.

Her grandson–her sweet little Nicholas–had been taken.

He was still so tiny, so fragile. Who knew what kind of horrors he might be facing?

The thought of Nicholas never coming back pushed Joanne to the edge.

She lunged toward Kaia, clutching her hands, her voice breaking with desperation. “Kaia, Nic’s just a baby! Please, let him go! If

you bring him back, I swear I’ll act like this never happened. Please!”

Her outburst turned every head in the room toward Kaia.

Even the police perked up, their eyes widening with sudden interest. A family conspiracy?

Lucien and Alden spoke in unison, their voices sharp with disbelief.

“Joanne, what’s this nonsense?”

“Mom, what’s this nonsense?”

Alden glanced at Lucien, then turned to his mother, his expression incredulous. “Mom, come on—Kaia? Kidnap Luna? That’s ridiculous!”

Joanne was unraveling, her/voice trembling with anguish. “Then who else could it be, Alden? Who? Luna’s only ever butted heads with her! She must resent Luna for stealing…”

“Enough!” Lucien’s voice cut through like a whip, his eyes blazing with barely restrained fury. “Joanne, you will apologize to my wife, Now. Before I lose what little patience I have left.”

Zane massaged his temples, the chaos in the room spiraling out of control. He said warily, “Lucien, don’t take it to heart. She’s just beside herself with worry over her grandson.”

“And what if he’s not her grandson?” Lucien said.

Zane froze, caught off guard. “What did you just say? Not her grandson?”

Lucien’s gaze turned cold as he spoke, each word dripping with certainty. “Luna was fooling around overseas before she got pregnant. A few weeks ago, I caught her arguing with some foreigner on the street.

“Just yesterday, I sent Nic’s hair for a paternity test with Alden. And now, she conveniently disappears?

“There are two possibilities here: either that foreigner had snatched Luna and the kid, or this whole thing is a charade Luna’s cooked up herself.”
