Contrarily, Kassidy, oblivious to the authenticity of her own family heirloom, how could she dare to cast


    aspersions on Loraine?


    Simultaneously, whispers suggested that Loraine’s interest in buying the watch had an ulterior motive.


    “Could the art world’s next big thing be Endy Hewitt?”


    “Seems usible. Mr. T, Loraine’s uncle, is the trendsetter of the art world. Endy’s pieces will skyrocket


    soon!”


    Following the discussion, there was a rush of people eager to purchase


    Endy’s artwork. ALL his design pieces showcased at the exhibition were quickly sold out, and the


    prices surged dramatically.


    The Cruz family, possessing numerous Endy’s pieces, capitalized on this sudden demand and sold


    their collection for a handsome profit.


    Florence was ted, viewing Loraine’s pocket watch purchase as a mere trifling matter.


    Grady, pondering this, figured Loraine genuinely cherished these artworks and offered, “If you


    appreciate Endy’s work, I can source more for you…”


    He was cut off by an indignant Kassidy, “Grady, I want some too!”


    Grady, with a creased brow, bluntly retorted, “If you want them, find them yourself. What’s the point of


    involving me?”

    Consumed by jealousy, Kassidy blurted out without thinking, “You have no connection with Loraine.


    Why would you do something for her and not for me? Wake up! It’s me who’s your family, not her!”


    Grady paled at her words. He nced at Loraine awkwardly and defended,


    “Loraine, please don’t misunderstand. She’s not part of my family. I don’t have a rtionship with her.”

    Yet Loraine remained unmoved, indifferent. She coolly responded,


    “There’s no need for exnations, Grady. This issue is between you and


    Kassidy, not me.”


    Grady’s heart filled with pain, and his eyes grew increasingly somber.


    Upon witnessing this, Kassidy’s jealousy heightened. As she watched


    Florence approach, an idea shed through her mind. Raising her voice, she dered, “Aunt Florence


    commended me highly. She wants my family and the Cruz family to have a stronger bond. I am to


    marry Grady and be part of the Cruz family!”


    With a triumphant nce at Loraine, Kassidy awaited a reaction. But


    Loraine remained unbothered, not exhibiting the anger Kassidy anticipated. Instead, it was Florence


    who reacted, her face storming over upon hearing Kassidy’s promation. She marched up and


    admonished


    Kassidy sternly.
