She was frank.
Philip Barlow smiled. “I’ve been cynical. It’s indeed a blessing to be your friend, Mrs. Reed.”
“You should treat your friends the way you want to be treated. I’m willing to do so much for my friends because they had gone out of their way to help me back then,” said Grace.
Philip Barlow smiled. “Then I wish you good luck, Mrs. Reed!”
“Thank you,” said Grace. Then, she turned around and began looking for her target.
She had asked someone to look up Daley Moss’s photos and basic information.
Unlike his mild-mannered older brother, Daley Moss was solemn and stern. He was tough, but he doted on his wife, Whitney Herrera, who was a popular celebrity when she was younger.
Due to her marriage to the Moss family afterward, Whitney Herrera retired from acting and became the wife of a wealthy man.
Daley Moss and Whitney Herrera had remained deeply in love over the years. It was said that Daley Moss would calm down no matter how mad he was as long as Whitney Herrera consoled him.
This time, Grace’s real target was Whitney Herrera.
It had always been relatively easier for women to talk to cach other.
After spotting Whitney Herrera, Grace went over with a smile on her lips.
Whitney Herrera was chatting with several madams from the aristocratic families of Deer City. Grace approached Whitney Herrera and said, “Hello, you must be Whitney Herrera. My name is Grace, and I love your films. I didn’t expect to see you at this party.”
Whitney Herrera sized up Grace and saw that she was dressed in this season’s top luxury brands’
couture. Even her gown cost more than ten million dollars.
The necklace around her neck was probably worth over a billion dollars.
Even if she had only borrowed the outfit, she would have to be someone capable to do it.
“Hello. I wonder what you do, Miss Cummins?” Whitney Herrera asked with a smile.
“I’m a lawyer,” said Grace.
Grace did not look like a lawyer, but her profession intrigued the wealthy wives standing next to Whitney Herrera. After all, none of them were lawyers.
Some people even curiously asked Grace some legal questions, and Grace answered them.
The rich women looked at Grace differently when they learned she was now married with three children and ran a law firm.
Even Whitney Herrera had a hint of approval in her eyes.
Whitney Herrera was also preparing for her comeback, wanting to restart her career. Therefore, she appreciated women like Grace, who could still do what she loved after marriage.
Grace had done some research beforehand, so she specifically talked about how she balanced her career, marriage, and children to have more common topics to talk about with Whitney Herrera.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out. “I don’t know if all this is true. Who on earth are you? What’s your agenda for approaching Whitney at this party?”
Grace turned her head and saw Louise Mitchell speaking.
Louise Mitchell’s eyes flickered with jealousy. Grace’s elegant and luxurious outfit was worth a fortune.
‘She probably borrowed everything she’s wearing using some connections!’ Louise Mitchell thought to herself. She remembered Grace as one of the three people who barged into Amber Mitchell’s ward that day.
“Agenda?” Whitney Herrera and the rich wives nearby were surprised.
“Yeah.” Louise Mitchell approached Whitney Herrera.
What had happened between Amber Mitchell and Herman Moss was suppressed by all three families.
Although she was Amber Mitchell’s sister, there was no permanent enemy in business. Moreover, she was the young madam of the Gregory family, so she socialized a lot with the Moss family. She would often talk to Whitney Herrera at parties.
When Louise Mitchell saw Grace talking to Whitney Herrera, the first thing that came to her mind was Amber Mitchell!
“This woman probably approached Whitney Herrera to learn more about Amber Mitchell!’ With that in mind, Louise Mitchell suddenly panicked.
She must not let anyone bring up what had happened back then. Otherwise, some problems would probably arise.
Grace smiled slightly..”Oh? I do wonder what agenda I have.”
Louise Mitchell narrowed her eyes. She could not say she saw her in the mental hospital in public, so she said, “You’re dressed up like some aristocratic lady today. I wonder what your family does? I can see you’re not from Deer City. Your outfit probably cost a fortune, though. I suspect you spent a fortune to dress up like this just to join this party.”
Louise Mitchell’s questioning was aimed to embarrass Grace.
The aristocratic ladies who previously talked with Grace were also watching. Whitney Herrera even looked at her suspiciously.
“I’m from Emerald City, and my husband is also a businessman in Emerald City. My husband prepared this outfit for me. I don’t know how much this cost.” Grace was telling the truth.
When Jason learned that she was attending a party, he contacted the couture boutiques and jewelers in Deer City to help her choose a gown and matching jewelry to wear.
“Oh, so your husband bought it for you?” Louise Mitchell asked with a sneer.
“So what if he did?” Grace said.
“How dare you lie? Do you know how much these things costs? Or… are they knockoffs?” Louise Mitchell said.
Those gathered around them now looked at Grace with disdain.
After all, these aristocratic ladies and socialites disdained knockoffs the most.
“So it’s just to keep up appearances!”
“What’s wrong with this party today? Can any random person attend?”
“This person is probably here looking for some opportunities to suck up to the wealthy.”
Everyone around them discussed. Louise Mitchell was so smug that she was just waiting for the woman to leave in disgrace.
Grace was in no hurry to speak, but a voice beat her to it and said, “She doesn’t have to lie. She can have as many luxury clothes and jewelry like these as she wants!”
“This voice…’ Grace froze. The people around her looked up, and surprise flickered in their eyes.
The crown prince of the entertainment industry… was defending this woman!
Not anyone could make the crown prince of the entertainment industry say such a thing. Could the woman have some unusual background?
Grace turned around in a daze and looked behind her.
It was a tall figure in a gray suit and a white shirt. He looked elegant and gentle. The handsome face and beautiful phoenix eyes attracted the attention of women around them.
When those phoenix eyes gently looked up, one would not be able to stop thinking about the scene.
The pair of phoenix eyes did not have their usual indifference and estrangement but contained a look of gentleness instead.
Brian!
Grace stared blankly at the man who approached her, never expecting to meet him on such an occasion.
“You…” she muttered.
“Long time no see, Grace.” The melodious voice gently escaped from his mouth. He only found out how much he missed her as soon as he saw her again.
Even if he had found someone who looked similar to her, so what?
It was not her!
