Chapter 1158:
ââButâ¦ââ One of his subordinates hesitated. ââThe scene is already spiraling out of control. Many guests are heading toward the lounge. If we try to stop them, it might be too late.ââ
Fabian exhaled deeply, trying to keep a lid on his frustration. ââIf weâre late, we minimize the fallout. Take a team there now. Find out exactly whatâs happening. If thereâs more to this, ensure no photos or videos leak â no matter what it costs.ââ
Though uncertain if Allison was truly involved, Fabian knew she would never betray Kellan. The bond between the two was as unshakable as a mountain. Fabian had seen their love firsthand â its depth and purity reminded him of his own past.
ââUnderstood.ââ His team moved swiftly to execute his orders.
Fabian himself rushed toward the lounge, his mind racing.
Meanwhile, hidden in a shadowy corner, Allison observed Fabianâs reaction with a faint smile. He wasnât quite the man she had envisioned.
ââIâm sorry, but I have no choice but to use you,ââ she murmured softly, as if confessing to the night itself.
She turned and walked in the opposite direction, stopping a waiter along the way.
ââExcuse me, do you have a broadcasting room here?ââ she asked, her tone calm and unassuming.
ââYes, Miss. Are you looking to play an audio announcement?ââ
ââYes, itâs urgent.ââ Allison held up her phone, which contained an audio file. ââMy child is missing, and Iâm desperate to find him. The message will only take three minutes.ââ
Given the stature of the guests at Fabianâs event, the waiter didnât question her story.
He believed that Allison was a lady of high society, someone he couldnât snub.
ââOf course, please follow me,ââ he nodded without hesitation and led her to the broadcasting room.

ââThank you,ââ Allison said with a disarming smile.
Once inside the broadcasting room, she played the part of a concerned mother recording a message. But behind the scenes, her hands worked with quiet precision, hacking into the system.
In mere seconds, she succeeded in uploading an incriminating audio file.
As soon as she connected her device, the system would play a recording of Melany and Hoytâs treacherous conversation for all to hear.
Back in the banquet hall, Kellan searched for Allison, his eyes scanning the room like a hawk.
ââWell, if it isnât Mr. Lloyd. Youâve been rather elusive tonight,ââ a voice chimed in.
Melany approached with a saccharine smile that barely masked her malice.
ââAre you looking for Allison?ââ she asked, her tone dripping with false innocence.
Kellanâs eyes narrowed. ââWhat are you scheming this time?ââ
ââDonât look at me like Iâm the villain here, Mr. Lloyd. Iâm only trying to help. I thought you might want to know something,ââ Melany said with a mocking pout, pointing toward the lounge.
ââI saw Allison heading that way earlier. She mightâve had too much to drink and felt unwell.ââ She feigned concern, but Kellan wasnât buying her act.
âActually, I also heard⦠certain inappropriate noises coming from the lounge. You know, a manâs heavy breathingâ¦â She trailed off, expecting Kellan to storm toward the lounge.
