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
"Don't listen to her nonsense. It's all fake." Kimberly hurriedly defended herself. At this moment, Timothy rushed over. He walked straight up to Grace with a concerned expression. "Are you okay, Milady?" Grace shrugged, unperturbed. "I'm fine." However, Timothy had heard the recording and immediately said, "Ms. Lewis is a VIP I invited. Do you think you can casually slander her?" Everyone fell silent at Timothy's words, and the crowd dispersed awkwardly. Shirley was dumbfounded. She was confused to see Timothy being so attentive and protective of Grace. She blinked and quickly approached with a smile."Mr. Donegan, I'm Shirley from Wonderful Electronics. It's a pleasure to meet you." Shirley tried to flatter him and make a good impression, but Timothy ignored her completely. Instead, he turned to Kimberly beside her. "Did you just slander Grace?" Kimberly was bewildered, not having fully grasped the situation yet. Timothy immediately ordered the security, "Throw
"Ms. Lewis, I work in foreign trading, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future." "Our company mainly operates in logistics. We hope you can provide us with more guidance in the future." Facing the crowd's admiration, Grace smiled and nodded politely, maintaining a confident attitude and gaining a lot of positive impressions. Many businesses even volunteered to collaborate with Grace. Seizing this opportunity, Grace secured several significant deals for the Amirate Corporation. Shirley watched as this unfolded.Her world had collapsed the moment Aaron had publicly revealed Grace's identity. She was utterly dumbfounded. She recalled how they had often looked down on Grace and insulted her during their school days. Now, she regretted it deeply. She had ruined such a valuable opportunity. "Shirley, why are you standing here? Didn't I ask you to build a good relationship with Ms. Lewis and work for more orders? What are you doing?" Kolby pulled Shi
Grace stared intently at her, and Shirley shrank back guiltily.Hit them where it hurts.Grace knew what Shirley cared the most about. Therefore, she spoke lightly, "It's time to revolutionize Wonderful Electronics. I think you should sit out the business summit this time around."When she heard this, Shirley immediately became anxious. "No—"The words slipped out of her. Wonderful Electronics was the family's only hope. If they backed out of the business summit, it would be a huge blow to the company. "Grace, I can promise you anything except this."Grace said expressionlessly, "If you back out of your own accord, there will still be a chance for redemption. If you refuse and are then forced to back out later, Wonderful Electronics may not escape unscathed."Shirley's knees buckled.A sense of horror swept over her. She had never imagined that Grace could be so cunning.At this moment, she deeply regretted what she had done, but she still gave it a shot. "Grace, Wonderfu
