Kneeling for a Second Chance Novel

---- Chapter 399 Alexander hollered with a frown, "Move!" Some journalists turned around with their cameras and aimed them at his face, asking, "Mr. and Mrs. Grant, what do you think about today's incident?" The journalists stuck at the back, who failed to record the scene, turned their cameras on the Grants. Alexander's expression was exceptionally grim. The journalists' words cut like knives, but what hurt him more was the shock of seeing what his daughter had become. Finally , Gabriella tore Sabrina's clothes, causing all the live streams to shut down due to explicit content.

The estate manager deployed over a hundred security guards from the outside, finally getting the situation under control. At last, the lounge was quiet again, and Lucas had gotten dressed. Although he was dressed neatly, he looked deathly pale. Joseph marched over and gave him a tight slap and kicked his legs. Acrisp sound of bones snapping filled the air. Lucas' face flushed red from the pain, and he curled on the floor with sweat dripping down his forehead. ---- Swallowing his screams, Lucas glared at Joseph. "Didn't you fucking hear the news? I was drugged!

These two idiots played me!" In truth, Joseph did that for the Grant family's sake. As for the engagement, it was already over. Joseph glowered at his son and glanced at Nicholas and the rest, who rushed over. Even the Lawson family had appeared. Though trembling in anger, Jessica quickly dressed her disheveled daughter and hugged her tightly without saying anything. Jerome stepped forward, taking in the scene and the sight of his naked daughter. Usually, in situations like that, his daughter should be the victim. However, both Sabrina and Gabriella were the culprits.

Jerome raised his hand to hit Sabrina when she flinched and threw herself into Jessica's arms. Grabbing Jerome's hand, Jessica pleaded, "No, Jerome. Brina's our daughter. Jerome shook her off. "Look, this is the daughter you're so proud of! She humiliated our entire family!" Gabriella rushed to Lucas and steadied him, "Luke, are you all right?" Having broken a leg in public, Lucas scoffed at the woman in front of him. "Get lost. How could you two do ---- something so stupid as to drug me? Is this the outcome you wanted?" As Lucas spoke, his body trembled in pain. However , he wasn't a fool.

No matter who slipped the drugs, there was no clearing things up if it was true that he slept with Sabrina. Now that the damage was done, the engagement ceremony could not go on. The Young family's reputation was ruined, and Lucas' leg would take three months to recover. It was the price the Young family had to pay. "No, Lucas. It wasn't me." Gabriella panicked , her eyes teary. She would never let her best friend sleep with her husband. Gabriella held Lucas' arm and pleaded desperately, only to be pushed away by him. Joseph recollected himself, saying, "Mr.

Grant Sr., there's no denying that Lucas is also responsible, but he's injured now. Let me take him away first, and we'll talk about this later." Jerome lowered his head with respect. "Mr. Grant Sr., we'll take our leave, too. As for this matter, I hope-" However , Nicholas waved his hand dismissively , hoping to end the chaos. All he wanted was for them to leave immediately. He was in no mood to listen to another word. Jerome quickly told Jessica to take Sabrina away and left ---- with shame.

Meanwhile , Joseph instructed someone to carry Lucas out, and the rest of the Young family followed suit. Suddenly, Ruby paused in her steps. When she was making her way to the lounge, she noticed a few silhouettes in the hallway. Sweeping her gaze from Valeria to Sebastian, Ruby pursed her lips as if she had something to say. In the end, she merely sighed and left. Watching the Young family take Lucas away, Gabriella stumbled after him. "Luke... Luke, please hear me out. That idiot, Sabrina, likes Alexander. She was supposed to put the drug in his drink.

I don't know how it got to yours Suddenly, Gabriella went quiet, as if someone was strangling her throat. She saw the Grant family standing by the door. Mallory, Martha, her parents, Sebastian, and Valeria were all there. Gabriella glared at Valeria viciously, taking a few aggressive steps forward. "Was it you? You did all this, didn't you? Weren't you in the lounge with my dad? Why are you two fine?" Gabriella lunged at Valeria , but Sebastian immediately turned around and shielded Valeria. At the same time, he grabbed Gabriella's throat with one hand.

---- Gabriella's breath was cut off in an instant. Her face flushed as she struggled like a fish out of water.
