    The discussion was at normal pitch, but Yvonne and the other two heard it nheless.


    The impatient Mia was ignited. “What nonsense are you talking about? My brother is very well. How


    dare you nder him like that? You ill-bred-”


    “Mia, there’s no need for suchnguage. Our family is powerful enough to weather their aspersions.”


    Yvonne held Mia back. Although she was very angry in her heart, she could still show the elegance and


    generosity of a wealthydy in front of so many outsiders.


    Some time ago, because of the dissolution of the engagement, the Fallen family and the Mellls family


    had a bad rtionship, and the outside world had many spections about Edgar.


    Therefore, Yvonne deliberately dressed up in front of the public so everyone could see that the Fallen


    family was still powerful.


    “But Mom, they…”


    Mia had been spoiled since she was a child. How could she bear to be talked about like this?


    She still wanted to argue, but Jade grabbed her wrist.


    Jade leaned in and whispered into Mia’s ear.


    Mia subconsciously raised her head to look at Grace, who was standing with Emma outside the crowd


    on the second floor.


    Grace was also looking at her.


    When their eyes met, Grace chuckled and turned to look for Patric.


    However, Grace’s seemingly ordinary smile was full of provocation in Mia’s eyes.


    Mia gritted her teeth. “That bit ch!”


    Jade patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. She won’t be able to be arrogant soon!”


    The three of them looked at each other and immediately beamed with joy.


    The ceremony officially began.


    The Mellis family had put in a lot of effort for this ceremony. In the past, a ceremony like this was


    usually a coc ktail party, social or singing, and dancing, but this time, to highlight the uniqueness of the


    theme, they speciallyunched a martial arts performance.

    atmosphere was vivacious.


    The


    two masters of martial arts from different factions were battling on the stage.


    The guests below the stage watched intently and apuded incessantly.


    Looking at the atmosphere, Jack was delighted with Hedda’s idea.


    After ten minutes of martial artspetition, Master Solon Sect won.


    The crowd burst into an uproar.


    However, in the cheers, a strange voice suddenly sounded.


    “What’s the point of just watching thepetition? I have a better suggestion, Mr. Mellis.”


    Jade stood up. Although she was talking to Jack, she nced at Grace and Patric with an evil leer.


    Jack was stunned and asked curiously, “What’s your idea, Ms. Evans?”

    The smile in Jade’s eyes grew, and she turned to look at Grace, who was sitting at a table not far


    away.


    “I heard that the femalepanion of Mr. Smith is very good at martial arts. It was no problem for her


    to fight against five people simultaneously. I don’t believe it. Why don’t we invite Miss Salentopete


    with Master Solon Sect to add fun to the ceremony?”


    Grace was tasting the delicate dishes picked up by Patric when she was suddenly called out.


    There was a sudden silence.


    No matter how good her martial arts skills were, Grace could not bepared with Master Solon. Sect.


    Moreover, there was such a big difference in strength between men and women. At first nce, it could


    be said that Grace was no match for the master.


    It was obvious that Jade was making things difficult for Grace.


    Hedda, who had been arranging the exciting program backstage, heard the noise and got someone to


    push her onto the stage in a wheelchair.


    Hedda smiled, “Ms. Evans’s proposal doesn’t seem fair. You and Miss Salen are both honored guests


    of our Mellis family. It will be regarded as our oversight to make you get hurt. Why don’t you sit down


    and watch the performance? Maybe you’ll like the next one.”


    Emma also stepped forward to mediate.


    Jade stood still and looked at Grace with burning eyes.


    Sensing that the situation had changed, Mia stood up and provoked Grace.


    “You don’t dare, do you? Admit that you deceived those who bragged about you before. You are a big


    liar from an orphanage.”


    “Miss Fallen!”


    Hedda couldn’t stand it anymore.


    Before she could say anything, Grace put down her fork and said, “It’s not that I don’t dare. I just don’t


    think it’s meaningless even if I win. After all, I won’t lose.”


    As soon as she said that, the crowd burst into an uproar.


    This woman… was too arrogant!


    How dare she!


    Only Patric remained calm and elegant as he sipped the red wine. For a moment, no one could figure


    out his attitude toward this matter.


    That was exactly what Mia wanted. She looked at Solon Sect who was also stunned.


    “Master, it seems that she doesn’t take you seriously at all. If you really can’t beat her, Where do you.


    put your face?


    Solon Sect was a little angry. “Miss, since you are so confident, why don’t you have a try? After all, you


    are a little girl. It’s not honorable for me to win you, so I will only defend and not attack. If you can beat


    me back within ten moves, you win.”


    Solon Sect’s words not only showed his pride as a master, but his gentleness. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Besides, it meant that they had no choice but topete.


    If Grace refused again, people would think that she was crazy and stupid, and even she would


    humiliate Patric.


    Everyone’s eyes were focused on Grace, gloating over her misfortune.


    Chapter 16


    Grace met their gaze and stood up elegantly. She smiled and said, “Since you have said so, I’ll give


    you face. But there’s no need to give me ten moves. It’s not honorable for me to win.”


    Grace was wearing a dark red satin dress. Coupled with her beautiful and arrogant face, her


    temperament was so sharp and elegant that almost everyone could not take their eyes off her.


    Unfortunately, Solon Sect was a martial arts fanatic. He could not tolerate being looked down upon by


    others, especially by a woman.


    He grunted coldly, and he was obviously infuriated. “That’s what you said. Then I’ll take it seriously.”


    Grace smiled calmly. She left her seat and was about to walk to the stage. Hedda was worried that


    Grace would suffer.


    She said. “Since we’re going topete, Miss Salen’s clothes don’t seem to be appropriate. Why don’t


    we watch other performances first and wait for Miss Salen to change her clothes?”


    The guests had no objections.


    Hedda hurriedly winked at the maid.


    Grace did not refuse. She let the maid lead the way and left the banquet hall..


    Looking at Grace’s unusually calm expression from beginning to end, Mia suddenly worried.


    “Jade, look at how arrogant she is. Does she think she can beat Master Solon Sect? Besides, none of


    the professional hatchet men we sentst time returned. What if…”


    “There’s no ‘what if.”


    Jade was very confident. “Although those people were good, they were far from being as skilled as


    Master Solon Sect. She is only in her twenties. Even if she knows martial arts, she can’t be better than


    Solon Sect. Just wait and see.”


    “What if the master went easy on you?”


    “Don’t worry.


    Jade smiled proudly, leaned close to Mia, and continued, “There’s nothing in the world that can’t be


    solved wi th money. I’ve already sent someone to bribe Solon Sect and asked him to pretend to cripple


    her. The Mellis family is hosting this ceremony. No matter what, we can’t be med for it!”
