    “That’s right. I heard that your daughter–in–


    law has opened a boutique with unique clothing styles, and the business is booming. Many people are lining up to shop there.”


    “Mrs. Hawkins, we’re so close to each other. Why don’t you inform your daughter–inw, and we can go to her store to pick out a few outfits?”


    Without a word, Susan listened to the wealthydies praise Grace about anything and everything. Instantly, her face turned somewhat unpleasant.


    She had used to think that Grace was just an orphan from the countryside. So she had done many outrageous things to Grace and even pressured her t


    Now that it had been revealed that Grace was the daughter of the Lewis family, Susan deeply regretted her past behavior.


    If she had been kinder to Grace, she wouldn’t be this embarrassed now.


    “Why don’t you say something, Mrs. Hawkins? Can you make it happen? If you can, I’ll ask my girlfriends toe along, and we can help support your d


    inw’s business.”


    Susan cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment. “Well, I don’t usually get involved in the younger generation’s affairs,”


    “Oh, Mrs. Hawkins, you’re being too modest. We’re talking about your daughter–inw. It will just be a matter of your word.”


    “She should pay you some respect, right? Or do you have no influence at all as a mother–in-w?”


    The wealthydy’sment was a direct challenge to Susan’s pride.


    But as someone who valued her reputation, she knew it would be hard for her to remain in this social circle if she were to offend these wealthydies.


    With a smile, Susan said, “What are you talking about? I’m her mother–in–


    law, so of course she listens to me. You want to go to her store to shop, right? No problem. I’ll take you there some other day.”


    “Mrs. Hawkins, I’ve heard that your daughter–inw is a skilled designer. Can she design a custom outfit for me?”


    Susan responded confidently, “Of course, I will have her personally design it for you.”


    “You’re so nice, Mrs. Hawkins. You must have a great rtionship with your daughter–inw, right?”


    This question made Susan feel awkward.


    Back then, she had often criticized Grace in front of her friends, saying thetter was of a lowly background and didn’t deserve Benjamin or the Hawkins


    Since Grace wasn’t present, Susan acted and shamelessly stated, “Of course! My rtionship with Grace has always been good. I’ve always treated he


    Hearing this next door, Emily couldn’t hold back anymore. “How can someone be so


    shameless? She treated you so badly before.


    “But now that she knows your true identity, she’s shamelessly pping her mouth. Isn’t she afraid of karma?”


    Grace was equally disgusted. “Treated me like her own daughter? How ridiculous!” she thought.


    In the past, Grace had endured a lot and made manypromises for Benjamin’s sake, only to be constantly bullied and exploited.


    She didn’t have to endure anymore.


    “Mrs. Hawkins, do you treat me like your own daughter? Why am I not aware of it?”


    Grace disrupted the wealthydies‘ conversation, leaving Susan stunned and dumbfounded. Being caught in such a situation made thetter feel extrem


    She looked at Grace and noticed that her appearance remained unchanged, but her demeanor had undergone a profound transformation.


    Before, Susan could proudly assert herself in front of Grace. But now, Grace exuded an intangible aura that made her instinctively feel inferior.
