Of course, the most famous of the three was the granddaughter of the jewelry tycoon, Elsie Jordan. She was beautiful and proud. She usually had many suitors, but she did not seem to fancy anyone.

Elsie Jordan once told the media, “The man I like is of course.

the best. Otherwise, I’d rather not date.”

During that time, many media speculated that the man Elsie Jordan liked was probably Jason. However, Jason and Jennifer Atkinson got engaged not long after that, so the rumors about Elsie Jordan and Jason naturally faded away.

Grace’s heart sank a little as she thought of Jennifer Atkinson.

“Yes, I am,” she said as she stood up, knowing in her heart that these three women were not here with good intentions.

“I’m Elsie Jordan. What’s your name?” Elsie Jordan said with a smile on her face as if she was here to make friends with her.

Grace did not think she would want to be friends with her, but it was inappropriate not to answer her, so she politely replied,

“Grace”

“By the way, I wonder what your relationship is with Jason? Why don’t you tell us and satisfy our curiosity?” asked Elsie Jordan.

Grace smiled and said, “That’s personal, and I don’t think it’s convenient to tell you.”

As soon as she said this, the three women suddenly took on a ghastly expression. Tasha Farmer, the daughter of a chairman of a convenience store chain, immediately said, “That’s not a very nice thing to say. Is there something shameful in the story that you dare not tell us?”

Grace’s face darkened a little. There it was… Even though she wanted to avoid it, she could not.

Felicia Kemp, the granddaughter of a five-star hotel owner, stared at Grace’s face with a slight frown. She looked as if she was thinking about something.

Tasha Farmer continued to probe aggressively, “Could it be that you played some tricks to get involved with Jason?”

Grace pursed her lips slightly. “Sorry, I’ve got something to do, so I need to go,” she said and tried to leave.

These three women were obviously here to find fault with her. She would only be picked on more if she continued to stay here. The best way was to avoid them.

She wanted to avoid them, but they would not let her.

Tasha Farmer stood in front of her and said, “What are you leaving for? Why don’t you answer our question first? There’s nothing to hide. If you don’t have something to hide, why don’t you just tell us?”

Grace raised her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her. She knew that today’s events might not end well. Since there was no way to avoid them, she just had to face it.

“Miss Farmer, isn’t it? Aren’t there rumors going around lately about your family’s convenience store chain evading taxes? If I’m not mistaken, this matter is being looked into by the tax bureau, am I right? Why don’t you tell me what’s going on? Are you and your family evading taxes? If it’s a misunderstanding, how did it come about? By the way, I’ve also heard that the tax bureau officer handling this case is related to your family. Why don’t you tell us what kind of relationship is it? There’s nothing to hide, so you probably won’t mind telling us about it.”

Grace’s words immediately made Tasha Farmer’s face turn pale. After all, the revelation of tax evasion had been the most embarra**ing thing for her family these days, and they were trying their best to put those rumors to rest.

Today, she had come to the banquet for the purpose of getting help from Elsie Jordan and Felicia Kemp. Their families had many connections with the tax bureau. If they would help, it would be easy for her family to settle the matter.

Now that Grace had said so, how could she answer those questions?

“Who the hell are you to ask me that?” Tasha Farmer glared at Grace, feeling offended.

Grace sneered. “Who the hell are you then? I guess you have double standards with your ‘nothing to hide!. What law says I

have to tell you about myself?”

“You…” People usually treated Tasha Farmer with honor and respect. When had anyone treated her so badly? She raised.

her hand to slap Grace, but Grace raised her hand and waved it away.

Grace turned around. She did not want to stay any longer to avoid this matter from escalating. Just then, Felicia Kemp, who had been silent all along, shouted, “I remember now. You’re Sean Stevens’s ex-girlfriend, aren’t you? You killed Jason’s fiancée, Jennifer Atkinson, in an accident…”

Even Felicia Kemp found it unbelievable as she continued.

The person responsible for Jennifer Atkinson’s death was now dating Jason?!

Tasha Farmer and Elsie Jordan were surprised to hear this.

Tasha Farmer suddenly laughed. “I thought you were someone important, but it turns out that you’re a murderer. Does Jason know that you’re the one who killed Jennifer

Atkinson?”

Tasha Farmer could not wait to see the expression on Grace’s face when Jason found out that Grace was the culprit in the car accident.

In her opinion, Jason must be in the dark about this. Otherwise, how could he let Grace show up so glamorously as his date at the banquet?

Elsie Jordan pursed her lips into a smile. “By the way, Sean Stevens is also in attendance today. I even saw him and Lily just now. How about we let you ex-couples meet?”

Tasha Farmer got excited at this though. She immediately looked around the venue. As it happened, Sean Stevens and

Lily were not far away.

Tasha Farmer shouted in their direction, “Your ex-girlfriend is here, Sean Stevens. Won’t you come and meet her?”

Tasha Farmer’s voice was not soft. It was not just Sean

Stevens, but even the people around them heard her. The guests immediately looked in their direction.

Tasha Farmer clearly wanted to see Grace make a fool of herself by doing so.

Sean Stevens was stunned and turned his head to follow.

the sound. Then, he saw Grace in a lilac-colored gown. He immediately had a faraway look in his eyes.

She looked cla**y and elegant today. Her delicate makeup and hairdo made him feel like he was looking at the person she used to be three and a half years ago.

No, she was even more beautiful than before. She had gone. through a lot over the years. After all that had happened, her claws were not drawn in, but there was an air of calmness. about her that made people feel comfortable.

Why was… Grace here?! Did Jason bring her here? However, why was Jason not with her now?

A series of questions flashed through Sean Stevens’s mind.

When Lily, who was standing next to Sean Stevens, saw the faraway look on his face, her eyes glistened slightly. Then, she smiled and said, “Let’s go over, Sean.”

Sean Stevens responded as he seemed to come to his senses suddenly. Then, he walked over to Grace with Lily.

“I didn’t expect to see you here,” Sean Stevens said with a somewhat wry smile as he walked up to Grace.

“There’s a lot more you didn’t expect.” Before Grace could answer, Tasha Farmer seemed to be motivated by a desire to see the world in chaos. She said, “Your ex-girlfriend is brought here today by Jason. It seems that your ex-girlfriend is getting along better without you, Sean Stevens.”

Tasha Farmer had meant to mock Grace, but it was Lily’s face that paled instead.

Elsie Jordan saw his reaction and hurriedly smoothed things over. “Don’t mind her, Lily. Tasha just speaks whatever’s on her mind sometimes. She didn’t mean to embarra** you.”

“Yes,” Felicia Kemp also helped by saying, “This woman has no shame. I don’t know what she did to cheat Jason. Jason probably doesn’t even know that this woman has been to prison.”

When Lily and Sean Stevens heard this, their eyes flashed with surprise. Sean Stevens tried to say something, but Lily gave.
