All too late for his love

The engagement ceremony of the Carters' youngest son and the Dawsons' eldest daughter was a grand event in Havenpoint.

Many distinguished guests attended the engagement banquet, which was so extravagant that even the ordinary wealthy person's wedding ceremony couldn't compare with it.

Skyler was wearing a bright red dress. Her dress didn't have many Intricate embellishments, only embroidered patterns in gold thread. Its tailoring was decent, making her appear more aristocratic, elegant, and graceful.

She walked into the banquet hall, holding Zayn's arm and smiling brightly. She exuded unconcealable joy.

On the other hand, Zayn appeared solemn and indifferent, as if he were attending a funeral.

Despite attending their engagement banquet, Kenan didn't bother to congratulate Zayn. Even though Skyler was his biological sister, he believed Zayn was blind to fall in love with her.

He didn't need to congratulate an oblivious man on marrying a woman with wicked intentions.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Xavier adored Caroline. So, he naturally loved the precious daughter she had birthed for him. He felt uncomfortable seeing Kenan's unpleasant expression during his lovely daughter's engagement.

He soon dragged Kenan into the lounge upstairs and reprimanded him.

Kenan might seem carefree, but he was most afraid of his father. When Xavier scolded him, he didn't even dare to refute and muted his phone in advance.

After being beaten and lectured thoroughly by Xavier, he could finally escape his harsh father.

As soon as he reached downstairs, Kenan took out his phone to check the time. Unexpectedly, the phone showed him six missed calls from Willow.

Kenan's gloom faded and was replaced by excitement as he realized she had finally woken up. He swiftly called Willow back.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

Kenan called her several times in succession, only to receive a robotic female voice in return. He suddenly had a dreadful foreboding as if he had realized something horrible.

He could no longer stay at Zayn and Willow's engagement banquet. He hurried up the stairs to search for his car keys, abandoning any concerns about getting beaten by Xavier again.

When he was beaten by Xavier earlier, he seemed to have left his car keys upstairs but couldn't find them after searching around the lounge.

Coincidentally, he ran into Zayn, a protagonist of that day, in the corridor outside.

Kenan was in a hurry to find Willow. He put aside his unpleasantness toward Zayn.

He swiftly grabbed Zayn's arm and urged, "Zayn, lend me your car keys!"

"Where are you going?"

Zayn's intuition told him Kenan wanted to borrow his car keys to look for Willow. He subconsciously wanted to reject it, so he asked further.

"I'm going to find Willow!"

Kenan was very anxious.

"I couldn't get through to her on the phone. I'm worried!"

Zayn couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard that.

Willow had called him about half an hour ago. She was still fine at that e time. He wondered why Kenan

couldn't reach her, He contemplated if she was performing a trick again.

"I just came from Bordello! Holy crap, there's a unit on fire upstairs! The firefighters have been there for allong time but haven't put out the fire! I heard there was a woman inside. She had been calling for help in the apartment. Alas, she was severely burned!"

A voice abruptly sounded at the top of the stairs. Zayn subconsciously looked over when he heard the E

mention of Bordello.

The person who spoke was Nelson Danes, the president of Weblight Holdings.
