Chapter 429 United Against a Common Enemy


    Jessica borated on her situation, adding exaggerations to her story. Almost every word that came


    out of her mouth was aimed at defending herself.


    As Susan listened, her face contorted with anger. "That Grace is really not a good person. She''s so


    malicious. She treated Cece and me that way before."


    Jessica lowered her gaze, feigning sadness as she sighed. "Sadly, I''m insignificant, and she''s the


    Lewis family''s daughter. I can''t do anything to her. I can only endure."


    Susan knew that feeling all too well.


    In the past, she had also suffered at the hands of Grace. Even now, there was no news from Celia


    in Astana. They were separated by a great distance.


    Patting Jessica''s hand, Susan pretended to console her. "You''re not at fault, my dear. It''s just that


    Grace is too cunning.


    "Don''t worry. The mills of justice grind slowly but surely. We just need to wait and see how miserable


    her end will be."


    Jessica nodded, humming in agreement. She then linked arms with Susan, appearing quite


    affectionate. In outsiders'' eyes, they might have been mistaken for a close mother-daughter duo.


    Just then, there was amotion at the entrance. The crowd fell silent instantly. "Look who''s here."


    All eyes gathered at the entrance, where Grace, wearing an orange evening gown, walked arm in


    arm with Xander.


    This stunning pair naturally drew admiration. Some attendees recognized them and couldn''t help


    but marvel.


    "Ms. Lewis is truly stunning, and her temperament is exceptional."


    "Right. Women find value in living for themselves. I can''t imagine her life when she married into the


    Hawkins family. Now that she''s divorced, she''s be even more attractive."


    "Not only that, I heard that since Ms. Lewis took over Amirate, thepany''s performance has


    been thriving. On the contrary, the Hawkins family has been suffering lossestely."


    "We should establish a good rtionship with Ms. Lewis. Ourpany might have to rely on her in


    the future."


    "Of course, of course."


    Noticing Grace was the center of attention, Susan and Jessica had different thoughts in their minds.


    Jessica''s eyes red with jealousy, and her gaze toward Grace turned increasingly sharp.


    She couldn''t ept it.

    Why was it that Grace couldmand respect and adoration from everyone, while Jessica became


    the target of ridicule in high society?


    Jessica was determined to turn the tables, to trample Grace under her feet, and to make her


    experience the feeling of being mocked by this crowd.


    "Madam Hawkins, did you see that? She''s enjoying quite the limelight now," Jessica said jealously.


    Susan also snorted. "Limelight? One day, she''ll fall hard. Let''s just watch. We''ve got plenty of time


    ahead of us."


    Little did they know that a wealthydy nearby overheard their conversation. She burst intoughter


    and said, "Mrs. Hawkins, are you jealous seeing your former daughter-inw thriving?"


    Susan felt she had been busted, and her face turned red instantly. She retorted, "Jealous? I''m just


    speaking the truth."


    The wealthydy''s smile widened. Since her family business was doing better than the Hawkins


    family''s, she naturally didn''t regard Susan highly.
