StartNovelAt precisely 7:00 pm, Grace arrived at the entrance of the charity gala with an invitation in hand.
As she stepped out of the car, she noticed Jodie, who was dressed to the nines.
Jodie didn't expect to run into Grace here, as she thought Grace wouldn't have an invitation.
Grace didn't greet her. She handed her invitation to a staff member and walked inside with poise.
She was wearing a more understated look tonight-a black sequin skirt with a mermaid silhouette paired with a
silk blouse that cinched at her waist.
Jodie stood still for a moment. Instead of storming off to cause Grace trouble, she called Yancey.
"Are you sure you don't want to come, Yancey? | just saw Grace at the gala," she said.
Something unreadable flickered in Yancey's gaze before a small smile tugged at his lips.
"I'm on my way. Jodie, leave her alone."
It seemed like every man on earth was under Grace's spell, and that was what Jodie hated the most.
She smiled insincerely. "Of course."
After hanging up the call, her gaze turned icy as she looked toward where Grace
had gone. Then, she called her bodyguard.
Tonight, she would make sure Grace was utterly humiliated.
It was a picture-perfect gala-flashing lights, clinking glasses, and scents of perfin the air.

Several familiar faces spotted her, exchanging knowing glances before whispering behind their glasses.
The story was common knowledge in their social circle-Grace, the lady who had spent years hopelessly devoted
to Yancey, had finally won him, only to leave him for an unknown waiter.
Grace was scanning the crowd for her target of the evening when a woman she didn't recognize walked up to her
with a glass in her hand. She eyed Grace disdainfully, then let out a scoff.
"Grace Lambert?"
Grace frowned. She had no idea who this was.
The woman seemed to take offense at that. She drew a sharp breath and remarked, "So it's true, huh? You
dumped Yancey, and now you think you're above everyone else?"
Grace mentally rifled through the woman's face, and it suddenly cback to her-she had seen this woman in
sold industry. background reports. She was from the Yule family, wasn't she?
The Yules had never forgiven her for what happened to Eleanor all those years
ago, so a jab in public wasn't exactly a surprise.
Daphne raised her glass and hurled the wine straight at Grace.
However, Grace had seen it coming. She sidestepped in tjust as Jodie was stepping through the door behind
her.
At last, the wine hit Jodie instead.
And just like that, everyone's attention snapped toward the scene.
Daphne was stunned. "Jodie, are you alright?"
So they were good friends-no wonder Daphne had cat Grace. Clearly, it was Jodie who had sent her.
Jodie shook her head lightly, her gaze fixed on Grace with undisguised contempt.
Grace smirked and turned to walk away, ready to get back to her actual objective.
Just then, Jodie spoke. "There's

Grace froze and turned to look at Jodie.
Jodie arched a brow, lips tugging into a sly smile.
