    Of Daughter-in-Law…


    Kassidy stood rooted to the spot, the sharp rebuke leaving her speechless. Tears of hurt sprang


    instantly to her eyes.


    What on earth was happening?


    Before Loraine’s arrival, Florence had been incredibly kind to her, her words expressing contentment


    with Kassidy. It had been crystal clear that Florence was epting of Kassidy marrying into the


    prominent Cruz family.


    But why had everything shifted so drastically with Loraine’s entrance?


    Florence turned away with a frosty look, her smile warming as she greeted Loraine.

    Shepletely disregarded Kassidy.


    To her, Kassidy was merely a distant rtive!


    Driven by her desire to create bonds with the influential Bryant family, Florence had selected Marina as


    Grady’s wife. In doing so, she managed to irritate Loraine. Feeling regret, she weed Kassidy, who


    expressed her desire to join the Cruz family through marriage.


    Florence appreciated Kassidy’s efforts to win her over, so she didn’t refuse her. However, she didn’t


    make any promises either.


    Florence merely saw Kassidy as a backup n. She wished to find a superior match for Grady.


    And behold, Loraine stood without a doubt as the perfect choice!


    The identity of Mr. Torres had been revealed to the masses. As the second son of the Torres family and


    Loraine’s uncle, he held significant power. This fact indicated a powerful future for Loraine.


    Furthermore, under Loraine’s skillful management, the Universe Group thrived through fruitful


    coboration with the Bryant Group. Not only in Vagow, but even in Zodiac, Loraine’s assets made her


    widely recognized and admired. She was undoubtedly the ideal match for Grady.


    Cunningly, Florence addressed Loraine, “Kassidy seems to have misread our intentions. While her


    family and the Cruz family are friendly, we have never contemted marital union!”


    Loraine found Florence’s deration amusing. It seemed they were all eager to exin things to her.


    It appeared they feared Kassidy wouldn’t despise her enough.


    Unsurprisingly, Kassidy was Left stunned and hurt by Florence’s words, her eyes shining with unshed


    tears.


    Nevertheless, Florence paid her no mind and affectionately grasped


    Loraine’s hand. With a beaming smile, sheplimented, “Loraine, just look at you! Young, stunning,


    wealthy, and sessful. The perfect picture of who my future daughter-in-Law should be!”
