Kassidy’s actions towards Loraine at tonight’s banquet were enough to fill him with remorse. If she had


    sought out Loraine privately to harass her…


    Darkness shadowed Grady’s eyes. He would not let her get away with it!


    Pocketing his phone, Grady gged down a servant, his voice clipped as he demanded, “Where is


    Kassidy right now?”


    The servant, taken aback by Grady’s rare disy of anger, responded hurriedly, “Miss Rivera is in her


    room.”


    Without uttering another word, Grady made his way to Kassidy’s room.


    At that moment, Kassidy, in high spirits, was humming a tune as she removed her makeup. She


    peeked at her phone asionally, anticipating good news.


    A knock on her door drew an annoyed sigh from her. “Who is it?” she called out.


    Upon hearing Grady’s voice, her annoyance morphed into surprise and delight. Hastily adjusting her


    attire, she swung the door open, tugging at the hem of her dress as she coyly asked, “Grady, why are


    you here?


    Have you missed me?”


    Standing at the threshold with a stern expression, Grady interrupted her before she could finish, his


    voice frosty. “Kassidy, I’m here to tell you to leave Loraine alone.”


    Kassidy’s initial shock gave way to a darkening expression.


    “Grady, what are you suggesting? You’re ming me because of a mere outsider?”


    His brow furrowed as he retorted, “I’m merely offering you advice. One that you’d do well to heed,


    considering you can’t afford to cross


    Loraine.”

    Kassidy’s face wore a smug smile as she responded, “What’s so special about her? I’m aware she’s


    the daughter of the Torres family.” She scoffed before continuing, “Grady, you have no idea how


    arrogant and insolent Loraine can be! She even disrespected your mother. She’s nothing but an


    uncouth woman!”


    At the banquet, Kassidy had heard that Loraine’s parents had also attended a Cruz family exhibition,


    but had tragically met an untimely end.


    This revtion only emboldened Kassidy; without the backing of her parents, no matter how formidable


    Loraine was, it would be a challenging battle to fight alone!


    Enraged by Kassidy’s remarks, Grady roared, “Enough! Who are you to pass judgment on Loraine?”

    His normally mild demeanor was reced by an explosive temper.


    Kassidy, taken aback, felt a mix of fear and resentment.


    “Grady, you’re blinded by Loraine’s facade! She’s nothing but a deceitful woman who considers herself


    superior! She even belittles the


    Cruz family. She doesn’t even love you!”


    A muscle twitched in Grady’s face, the Last sentence striking a painful chord.
