“It doesn’t matter whether I like it,” she said.

“Why not? If you don’t like it, we can get another one,” he spoke gently as if she was a princess he cherished.

‘It’s as if I matter a lot to him!’

Grace fell into a trance. He was always giving her the misconception that they never broke up.

“Are you willing to stop if I don’t like this brother and sister game?” The words escaped her mouth suddenly.

Many of Emerald City’s socialites and public figures were there. Some of them were people Grace used to see only from the news.

When Grace walked into the banquet holding Jason’s arm, she naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Grace could feel all eyes on her.

Some people who had met Grace before knew about their relationship while those who did not know her were now speculating about Grace’s relationship with Jason.

“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?” asked Jason.

Grace thought about it and nodded. She was indeed a little hungry. After all, she had been taken away to get dressed and styled after work. She should have had dinner long ago.

Her stomach was now growling too.

“Wait here, I’ll get you something to eat,”

said Jason. If anyone heard this, they would probably be surprised again.

‘Who in Emerald City is qualified enough for Jason to get food for them himself?’

Even Jason’s ex-fiancée, Jennifer, never enjoyed such treatment.

Once Jason left, Grace stood where she was and looked around. The people attending the banquet today were either socialites or popular celebrities.

However, there were no reporters.

Reporters were not allowed into certain banquets, so it was a good thing for her.

At least she would not be exposed to the public where she would attract a lot of unwanted attention.

However, being here now was no different from that.

Even though she was now in a corner, she could feel many different gazes on her.

just then, a figure suddenly rushed toward Grace, They seemed to be fumping slightly as they approached.

Grace was shocked. The person in front of her was an old acquaintance-Sean’s sister,

Grace was a bit surprised to see Zoe

Speaking of which, she had not seen Zoe since she tripped her on the escalator, cousing her to roll off in

“Why are you at a place like this?” asked 166 as she stared at Grace with hatred.

She had not seen Grace and Jason coming in together earlier. Therefore, when she saw Grace alone, she thought

Grace had followed someone else here.

“This isn’t a place for people like you.”

The sight of Grace filled Zoe’s heart with hatred.

‘If it weren’t for Grace, I wouldn’t be crippled!’

She eventually learned from her eldest brother that Grace had Jason as her backup, and she suffered all these because of Jason.

Fearing that Jason would continue to take revenge on her, her family sent her abroad.

Even when she was abroad, she still kept her eye on Grace.

She learned that Grace had moved out of Reed Residence and was currently living in a small rental house. She was also only working as a mere paralegal in a law firm. As such, she concluded that

Jason must have dumped Grace and that was why she returned at once.

She planned to get back at Grace a few days later and make her crippled as well so that she could get rid of the hatred in her chest. However, she did not expect to see Grace at the banquet first.

“Who are you with this time? You probably went all out to get in here because you want to approach Jason.

Just look at you! Jason was momentarily interested in you. Now, without Jason, you’re nothing. Do people like you have the right to stand here?”

Zoe snarled.

Grace ignored Zoe. She caught a glimpse of Sean and Lily walking over.

Thinking about it now, it was only natural to see them at a banquet that was full of

Emerald City’s socialites.

Although Lily was no longer a popular actress, she was still the second daughter of the Atkinson family. She seemed as conceited as ever.

Even though she had walked up to her, Lily said with a smile, “What a coincidence to run into you here. Congratulations on your case reversal, but the Atkinson family doesn’t owe you anything for this. It was the judge who found you guilty, after all.”

She looked so conceited. It was as if the word ‘congratulations’ was an act of charity.

Grace said lightly, “Really? But you do owe Jennifer justice. Speaking of which, when the heiress of a family like the

Atkinson family died in an accident, why didn’t you look into it? Or did the

Atkinson family just want a scapegoat like me?”

“You…” Lily’s expression changed a little as she sized up Grace.

‘Zoe told me that Grace has broken up with Jason, but why is Grace here wearing such an expensive gown and jewelry?

‘Could it be… Lily had a bad feeling about this.

On the other hand, Sean just stared at

Grace in a trance. She was wearing a light purple dress with a pearl necklace, making her look so poised and elegant.

She looked different from how she previously looked like in a fluorescent uniform while holding a broom.

She was even more radiant than she had been before she went to prison.

He had known she was beautiful, or else he would never have courted her and

Her beauty was not the eye-catching type, but a comfortable quiet elegance. The more you looked at her, the more comfortable you would feel. It was like a gurgling stream, instead of raging seas or rivers, that would seep into your heart.

He thought of the last time he went looking for her regarding Lily’s blacklist incident. However, she had only looked at him coldly. There was no trace of their past affection in them.

Well, he did give her up like she was a sacrifice.

‘Now that I’ve made this decision, there’s nothing to regret!

Besides, my marriage to Lily would be the best for the Stevens family!’

“Alright, let’s go over there and say hello to President Wang and the rest,” said

Sean, trying to stop the quarrel.

However, Zoe did not want to let it go.

“Brother, what do you mean? Can stand Grace insulting the Atkinson you family? Can’t you stand up for Lily?”

“Have you forgotten your lesson?” Sean snapped.

“That’s because she had Jason back then, but now she has broken up with him. Speaking of which, she’s just a worn wh’re now,” Zoe spoke loudly, wanting everyone around them to hear her.

Moments later, everyone had turned to look at the scene. There were even a few sympathetic and curious looks, but Zoe did not think much of it. She just thought the crowd was sympathizing with Grace.

Zoe became more enthusiastic as she spoke, “Jason’s weird too. He was interested in a woman you dumped. Amazingly enough, he lost interest in the worn wh’re. Grace, I heard you were on your knees in prison, licking and eating leftovers like a dog. Why don’t you perform-”

However, before she could finish, someone slapped her in the face. Zoe fell to the ground and subconsciously covered her cheek. It took a while before she came to her senses. “Who was it? Who dares to slap me?”

Zoe shouted. Her mouth and cheeks were tingling with pain as she spoke while her face burned.

She came to this banquet with her brother and future sister-in-law, wanting to see if there was anyone suitable for her in the upper-cla**. After all, her dating life had suffered after she became a cripple.

She refused to compromise and marry someone ordinary. The husbands of her friends were all rich and powerful or at least had hundreds of millions of dollars worth of fortune.

Therefore, to be slapped on the ground in such a manner was nothing short of humiliating for her. How could she hope to leave a good impression on the single men at this banquet now?

“It seems that the Stevens family don’t remember their lessons.” The elegant voice, accompanied by its bleak tone, immediately made Zoe shudder. Then, she caught sight of a tall figure.

That’s… Zoe’s pupils immediately constricted as she looked at the man in surprise. It was Jason!
