Grace responded with a soft hum."Damn it, did he suddenly grow a conscience? Even if he did, you're not going to forgive him that easily, are you?"Grace shook her head slightly. "I've repaid the favor."That statement piqued Emily's curiosity."How? Did you offer your body or something? Let me tell you. If you dare to forgive that guy or even reconcile with him, I ... I'll crash my head into a pillow."Grace quickly grabbed her. "Hey."Seriously, she continued, "I told you that I'm over him. I won't make the same mistake again."Emily believed her words. "That's good. Forget about him. Let me take you out to have some fun."However, Grace remembered that she had a date with Xander. "I can't. I have plans with Xander.""Tsk, tsk. You only have Xander on your mind. Why not ask him to join us?"Grace hesitated for a moment. "Let me ask him.""Come on! Why do you need to ask? Just send him a location. I'll teach him a lesson if he doesn't show up."Emily's words rendered Grac
"She's something. Normal people can't do anything to her." Celia didn't want to provoke Grace. If Benjamin found out, she might not be able to stay in Pamore any longer.Yet Wendy was itching for revenge.She said, "If it hadn't been for her, I wouldn't have lost my job. Now I'm jobless, hanging out in bars every day. Don't you think she's detestable?"Celia nodded in agreement, but she didn't say much. She knew she couldn't get involved in Wendy's feud with Grace."Wendy, if you hate her so much, why don't you teach her a lesson?"Hearing that, Wendy smiled, and her expression changed. Instead of responding to Celia, she said, "You also hate her, don't you?"Celia shook her head. "Even if I hate her, I can't do anything about it. I can only hate her in my heart."Wendy scoffed. "Are you so timid, or are you afraid you can't beat her?"Her words provoked Celia and stirred her anger.Despite having gone against Grace so many times, she had never won once. Deep down, she felt re
After she gave the waiter instructions, Wendy's eyes gleamed with malicious intent.She patted Celia's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Don't forget to record a video. I want to make her go down in disgrace and leave Pamore for good."Hearing that, Celia felt a shiver go down her spine. This version of Wendy was unnerving."I ... I can't do that."However, Wendy didn't give her a chance to refuse. "Even if you can't, we're on the same boat now. Don't you think so?"Her words carried an implicit threat.Celia glanced toward Grace, her eyes deepening in thought. She made a decision.Meanwhile, upstairs in the bar, a man strolled over and said teasingly, "What brings you here, Mr. Fulton?"When Xander noticed the man, he raised an eyebrow and extended his fist for a fist bump. "It's been quite some time.""Indeed. You've been in Pamore for some time now, and you didn't come looking for me." Evan Martin walked up to Xander, the dim light highlighting his face."What brings you
Xander was the first to react. Without any hesitation, he immediately turned and headed downstairs.Grace was sitting at a table and scrolling through her phone. Just then, a waiter approached her with a tray."Miss, this is a complimentary drink from our bar tonight. Would you like to try it?"Without waiting for Grace to refuse, the waiter placed the drink in front of her.Grace picked up the glass, but before she could take a sip, Xander's voice interrupted her. "Gracie!"His steps were noticeably hurried. With just a few steps, he reached Grace and swiftly took the glass from her hand.Puzzled, Grace looked at him, and their eyes locked.Xander reached out and pulled her close. They seemed quite intimate to onlookers. In truth, he was using this as an opportunity to whisper in her ear, "The drink is spiked."Grace immediately knew what she should do."Where have you been, Xan? Why did you come so late?"Xander affectionately smiled. "I've been here for a while. This bar i
Grace's gaze shifted to Celia, who was beside Wendy in the footage, and she couldn't help but sneer. "Are those two in cahoots now?"Xander also noticed Celia and decided it was time to take a firm stance against her continuous meddling. "Leave this to me."However, Grace interjected, "Since they want to cause trouble for me, let me handle it."Hearing that, Xander agreed. "Alright."Evan immediately caught on and asked, "Ms. Lewis, how do you plan to deal with this? Rest assured. No matter what you choose to do, I'll support you unconditionally."Grace's eyes turned dark as she uttered, "It's simple. Let them have a taste of their own medicine."With those words, she picked up the glass containing the spiked drink. "Since there is some good stuff in here, let's have Wendy try it too." She smirked.Evan understood what she meant. "No problem. Leave it to me."…In the bar area, Wendy couldn't find Grace, so she assumed that her plan had succeeded. Happily, she called over a wa
"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" A waiter approached Celia with concern.Celia rubbed her head and shook it. But when her eyes met the waiter's, the fiery sensation within her intensified.In a daze, she subconsciously moved closer to the waiter. "It's a bit hot."The waiter immediately understood. "There's a hotel next to our bar. Shall I take you there to rest?"Celia nodded, her flushed face growing even hotter. In a semi-conscious state, she followed the waiter and left.Upstairs, Evan's men reported, "Everything is settled, Mr. Martin."Evan looked at Grace and shrugged. "Is there anything else I can do for you, Ms. Lewis?"Grace swirled the drink in her glass, seeming aloof.Smiling, she said, "Thanks, Mr. Martin. Now, let's see how evil their scheme was."Hearing that, Evan couldn't help but shudder.Indeed, the saying was true—never mess with a woman."Mr. Martin, your bar serves good drinks," Grace casually remarked.Raising an eyebrow, Evan replied, "If you like th
"Being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself." That was what Aaron often told Grace."I'll handle the rest. You just focus on preparing for the fashion show," Xander said."Okay."As soon as Grace arrived home, a new hashtag rose to the top of the trending list online. #HeiressDownForAThreesomeMinutes ago, various well-known entertainment media from Pamore had gathered outside Room 888 of a hotel with cameras and microphones aimed at the tightly closed door."I heard that a popular actress is having fun with her new boyfriend inside. Make sure the camera is on target."Another reporter chimed in. "What popular actress? Isn't it a rising star?""Wait. I got news that a popular actress is cheating here."Several reporters had exchanged puzzled glances. Why were the messages they had received different?Regardless, they had been curious about what was going on in the room.Just then, a popular internet celebrity had started a live broadcast. "Hey, guys. Can you gu
Celia had been too agitated, causing the blanket over her to slip off her shoulders. She had ended up exposing her body."Oh my, so alluring! So, this is how heiresses from prestigious families are behind closed doors?""Don't just stand there. Quickly take pictures! These photos alone will sustain us for a lifetime.""The Hawkins family is doomed."Hearing the gossip, Celia had felt like her head was about to explode.What in the world had happened?As she had been caught in the midst of the chaos, she had grown increasingly agitated and fainted.Meanwhile, Wendy had wanted to flee, but she hadn't been able to find her clothes in the room. She had been completely naked, so she had no way of escaping.They had had no choice but to watch as the reporters had continued to take pictures of them.Wendy had known then that she was doomed.However, things hadn't stopped there.Thanks to the internet celebrity's live stream, everything that had happened in the room had been broadca
