Kneeling for a Second Chance Novel

---- Chapter 394, Sebastian wheeled Lewis into the banquet hall filled with guests. Among them, Lewis spotted his old comrades from his days in the military, and it moved him to tears. At his age, most of his fellow soldiers had already passed on. Just then, Sebastian's phone pinged, notifying him of an email from Calvin. The title read, "Digital Records from the Testing Center". Sebastian tapped on the notification, but the internet connection was so poor that the page failed to load for a long time. He scanned the hall and found Martha hosting the ladies, but Valeria was nowhere to be seen.

He immediately dialed Valeria's number, but the call never connected. At that, he walked toward Martha and asked Avery about Valeria. "Mrs. Grant? I think I saw her somewhere," said Avery. Just then, Martha remembered something. "I saw an attendant helping her to the lounge not long ago. The banquet's starting soon. You should check on Val," she urged, helping Lewis to his seat. Glancing around, Martha mumbled, "Why is Alexander missing too? The ceremony's starting in an hour.

Where could he have gone?" ---- Martha pulled out her phone and dialed Alexander's number, but it failed to connect as well. Avery asked, "Mr. Sebastian, did you see Mr. Alexander anywhere? Didn't you two leave to greet the Young family with Mr. Bond?" Suddenly , Sebastian frowned and took out his phone to call Calvin. "Check the hall's CCTV footage!" "Mr. Grant..." Calvin uttered with hesitation. Sebastian spat, "What is it?" Calvin shut his eyes as he collected his thoughts . It seemed that he had stumbled upon a major elite family drama.

He had not meant to pry, but it was inevitable when he received the DNA test report from the private investigator. Hearing Sebastian's grim tone, Calvin decided to bite the bullet and report, "Mr. Grant, the results show that Mrs. Grant is Mr. Alexander's biological daughter." The hall was buzzing with voices. Although Sebastian's expression remained unchanged , a look of shock flickered in his gaze. "Mrs. Grant Sr., is Gabriella in the dressing room? Is she ready? Oh my gosh! My son is such a lucky guy," said Dahlia as she approached.

She wore a red bodycon dress and a pearl necklace around her neck, each pearl plump and radiant. ---- "Wendy's with her," said Martha before offering a courteous compliment. In truth, Lucas did not have much going for him besides his looks. Dahlia frowned when she could not get hold of Lucas on the phone. Though she was just the stepmother , Lucas was the Young family's only son. "Ts this privileged young man thinking of calling off the engagement on such an important day like this?" Dahlia wondered , unable to imagine the humiliation it would bring to the Young family.

Lucas was nowhere to be found. Since Wendy was with Gabriella in the dressing room, Dahlia figured Lucas would not be in there. Dahlia smiled and greeted some friends and family before turning around to ask Ruby ina low voice, "Have you found Lucas?" "He's not picking up. Mom, should we tell Dad?" After greeting Lewis politely, Dahlia instructed Ruby to search the place with some security guards. Dahlia was determined to break Lucas' legs if he actually called off the engagement ona significant day like this.

Calvin was already in the surveillance room with a young man by the time Sebastian arrived. "This is my friend, Zane. He's from the company's IT department." ---- Zane got to his feet and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Sebastian . The screen shows that Mrs. Grant should be in the lounge. Her phone's location is around here, but her phone was turned off when I tried to call her using the internet. "As for Mr. Alexander's phone, it's in the same location as hers. They should be in the same location. I tried calling Mr. Alexander's phone, but it was turned off, too." Calvin asked, "Seriously?

Both of their phones are turned off?" Sebastian pursed his lips, a dark look flickering in his eyes. " What about Gabriella?" He had a feeling that Gabriella had known that Valeria was Alexander and Wendy's biological daughter. "My men have been keeping an eye on the dressing room. Wendy and two stylists have been in there with her." When Calvin finished , Zane immediately zoomed in on the footage. Occasionally, people passed by the dressing room.
