"Don't leave just yet. We rarely see each other. You don't have to feel bad, even if you're not doing well. We won't make fun of you." Shirley looked at her with sympathy. "It's quite a coincidence. I happened to be having a meal with some classmates. Why not join us? After all, you will never get into any of the high-end restaurants. Come and experience it with us." Grace smiled and chastised in annoyance, "Shirley, are you ever going to stop? "You were always behind me when we were in school. Why are you still behaving like this now? You're acting arrogant just because you have some money. "Don't you know there will always be someone better? Be careful. You might bite off more than you can chew." Shirley hadn't expected Grace's mouth to be as sharp as ever. She had never managed to take advantage of Grace before, and now she couldn't argue with her.However, this only strengthened her determination to give Grace a hard time. Today, she would teach Grace a lesson and ma
Grace's words made Shirley feel nervous, and she instinctively took her bag. "Humph, you're just a country bumpkin. What do you know? I can't be bothered to argue with you." However, her two lackeys exchanged a glance. They didn't believe Shirley would carry an outdated bag either. But they thought she was acting off. However, they remained loyal and said, "Shirley, let's ignore her. We'll let her know later that we're very different people." Shirley felt better to hear that. Grace chuckled inwardly, curious to see what tricks they had up their sleeves.…Meanwhile, Caleb parked the car and exited the parking lot, but he couldn't find Grace. He quickly called her. However, Grace immediately hung up and texted him. "Caleb, something came up. I'll contact you later." Caleb sighed and replied with a simple "Okay." Shirley took Grace to the most upscale local restaurant in Frenda. It was a members-only place, and those who could afford to consume here were wealthy or infl
Most of the people who usually hung out with Shirley were as influential as her. They looked down on people like Grace, who had a low status but had still insisted on fitting into their circle in school. So, as the conversation continued, they became more and more impolite. "Grace, where have you been working recently? How much do you earn in a month?" "Are you married? Do you have a boyfriend?" "Do you need help getting introduced to someone?" Grace remained silent. At this point, Shirley deliberately interrupted them. "What kind of questions are you asking? Grace isn't like us. Every one of us here comes from a wealthy background. "We don't have to work and can easily take over the family business. Grace might even be doing odd jobs right now! Don't make fun of her. We're all very different." Laughter erupted from the crowd, but Grace looked down, unaffected by their words. However, one female classmate noticed that Grace's clothes seemed to be limited-edition Chane
Grace merely nodded and continued, "One of the top streamers is Calista, right? I heard she got caught for tax evasion and was fined several million dollars!"She's merely a streamer, yet she committed such fraud. This must have something to do with her investors. This matter has caused quite a stir. I'm sure everyone has heard about it."Blair began to feel anxious. That incident had significantly impacted her family, and the company had almost gone bankrupt because of it. But how did Grace know about all this? Grace ignored him and looked at Nora, one of Shirley's lackeys. "Your family is in the aquaculture business. It must have suffered considerable losses due to the typhoon. I heard you even borrowed money from loan sharks. Have you cleared the debt?" Nora's expression instantly fell. Grace then turned her attention to Kimberly. "I heard your family was affected by the recession last year and still hasn't recovered. You owe the bank a lot of money. Is that true?" K
Everyone gasped in shock and started to judge Grace. Some even commented harshly. "She's not worthy of being our classmate at all." "I'll teach her a lesson the next time we meet." "We must work together to deal with that mistress." … Early the next day, Shirley received a call from the investigator. "Ms. Lowe, we haven't found anything about that Grace you asked us to investigate."Shirley cursed in displeasure. "Useless! Frenda is so small, and you can't even find information on one person. What do I need you for?" The investigator cautiously said, "Could it be that someone has hidden any information about her identity, and that's why we can't find any traces?" Shirley frowned. She refused to believe Grace was capable of such a thing. "Now you're trying to shift blame because of your incompetency. I won't work with you again in the future!" After speaking, she hung up the phone. At this moment, her father, Kolby Lowe, walked over with a loving look. "Shirley, why
"Gracie, how about this dress?" Caleb picked up a relatively conservative dress and showed it to Grace. Victor, on the other hand, unwilling to be outdone, chose a more stunning dress. "Gracie, I think this one complements your elegance." "Victor, that dress is too flashy." Victor retorted, "You chose something too dull." Neither of them would yield, so they finally let Grace decide. "Gracie, what do you think?"Grace looked at the two dresses and said, "You both have great taste! Both dresses are nice. However, I think it's better to be low-key today." After saying that, Grace casually took a light purple designer dress. Caleb and Victor looked at each other, and Caleb said, "It's a draw! Victor, this round doesn't count." Grace couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the two compete. She walked up to them and linked arms with both of them. "Victor, Caleb, thank you both." "Silly girl, what's there to thank us for? You will always be our little princess." Victor
Shirley had arrived at the venue early. After making a round, she found a place to catch her breath. Unexpectedly, her gaze fell upon Grace at the entrance. She was utterly taken aback. "Why is Grace here?" Shirley exclaimed, and her lackeys beside her followed her gaze. They were also surprised. But they remembered seeing Grace getting into a sports car yesterday. Nora sarcastically remarked, "Is she here to freeload on food and drinks?" Shirley frowned, feeling that Grace's presence here was an insult to her."They really accept just anyone here," she snorted in dissatisfaction. Seeing her discontentment, Kimberly suggested, "Shirley, should I go teach her a lesson and put her in her place?" Shirley didn't speak, but her silence meant she approved. Seeing this, Nora and Kimberly walked toward Grace. "Isn't this a familiar face? How come you're here too? Do you have an invitation, or did you sneak in to freeload?" Nora mocked. Grace raised an eyebrow slightly. T
Shirley played the righteous role before everyone. Grace didn't have time to deal with her. She said in irritation, "Step aside." Shirley had never expected Grace to be so bold. She smiled mockingly and said, "Grace, you should take responsibility for your wrongdoings. "You're at fault for hitting someone for no reason. If you don't apologize now, I'll ask the organizers to kick you out." Shirley's words gained some favor, especially among the onlookers, who mostly chose to stand on her side. "This isn't a place for throwing tantrums. She hit someone out of nowhere! That's so arrogant!" "She should apologize. Don't make this situation more embarrassing than it already is." "That's right, Ms. Lowe is giving you a way out. Don't be disrespectful." Grace remained silent. Shirley felt satisfied as she listened to the crowd and looked at Grace scornfully. "How about it? Apologize!"Grace was also annoyed. She calmly replied, "I would never apologize. She should take acc
