Loraine’s clear stance.


    Unfazed, Loraine strolled away, her demeanor still brazen.


    Florence, left behind, was seething. With no witnesses present, she began to curse freely.


    Meanwhile, Kassidy, who had been secretly observing from a corner, was buzzing with excitement. She


    sensed an opportunity!


    She had overheard the entire exchange.


    With Loraine’s full-blown affront to Florence, there was no longer a possibility of Loraine entering the


    Cruz family.


    A chuckle escaped Kassidy as she stepped out from her hiding spot to console Florence.


    “Dear Aunt, please try to keep calm. Loraine is quite the ingrate. She disregards a fine man Like Grady.


    She’s disrespecting Grady and the


    Cruz family!”


    Though internally convinced that Loraine stood no chance with Grady,


    Kassidy persisted in denigrating her, aiming to worsen Florence’s already poor opinion of Loraine.

    Fuming, Florence paid no mind to Kassidy’s sudden appearance, but instead found the truth in her


    words.


    Kassidy stoked the fire.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    “Loraine is blinded by false perception.


    That’s why she thinks Marco trumps Grady. Grady, with his handsome features, gentle nature, and


    noble lineage, is far superior. Loraine doesn’t deserve him!”


    Florence was of the same mind. Her face was a mask of displeasure. She snorted and spat out,


    “Loraine, such audacity from a Torres woman!


    She’s merely a divorcee. How dare she unt such arrogance!”


    Kassidy seized the moment and said, “Aunt, a woman with such disregard for you doesn’t deserve to


    be a Cruz. She doesn’t respect you in the slightest!”


    Florence, her pride evident, nodded in agreement. She dered,


    “Loraine will be filled with regret in due time. Kassidy, I’m only sharing this with you. In reality, the Cruz


    family’s eldest son has been missing for years and remains unfound. The family is now in search of a


    sessor from among its branches. Among all contenders, only our


    Grady shines bright enough!”


    Should Grady secure his position as the Cruz family sessor, even the queen of Eplistan would have


    to treat her with courtesy, let alone


    Marco!
