NovelEnglishTaking a deep breath, Grady fixed his penetrating gaze on Kassidy. His initial shock subsided, giving way to a
suspicion.
Why was Kassidy so antagonistic towards Loraine?
And Marco's words...
In a frosty tone, Grady demanded, “Kassidy, did you do something to
Loraine?”

Kassidy froze, a pang of guilt seeping into her composure, but she managed to feign indifference.
“What could | possibly do? | was merely upset because Loraine was picking on Aunt. | Lashed out at her, that’s

Before he could delve deeper, Florence interjected, “Grady, what on earth are you doing?”
Grady, caught off guard, spun around and cast his gaze downwards. He replied, “Mom, | had a question for
Kassidy.”
Florence scoffed dismissively, “Question? More like an interrogation!
Are you now so defensive of Loraine that you question Kassidy about her late in the evening?”
“Mom, you promised you would apologize to Loraine, but tonight you...”
Florence shot him a scathing look. She raised her voice abruptly, challenging him, “Are you choosing to question
your mother and your own kin for an outsider like Loraine? Grady, is this how | taught you to conduct yourself?”
Grady blanched.
Emboldened by Florence's support, Kassidy grew increasingly smug. She retorted, “Grady, we are your family.

Realizing he wouldn't get any straightforward answers, Grady tightened his Lips and cast a sidelong glance at
Kassidy. He turned on his heel and walked away without another word.
Pointing at his retreating back, Florence seethed with fury, struggling to articulate her indignation.
Kassidy immediately ingratiated herself with Florence.
“Aunt, don’t be upset. Grady was merely misguided. He’LL soon see Loraine’s true colors!”
Florence huffed, her voice icy, “If only he could see her for who she truly is!”
Kassidy’s eyes glittered with satisfaction. “Aunt, don’t worry. I'UL make sure she pays for what she’s done.”
What Kassidy didn’t realize was that her goons had already been apprehended and had betrayed her.
