Loraine was taken aback upon hearing their conversation.
She didn’t expect Marco to uncover the truth so quickly and immediately focus on Kassidy.
Upon hearing Marco's inquiry regarding the connection between Kassidy and the Cruz family, Loraine became
apprehensive that Marco might misconstrue Grady’s involvement. To prevent any misunderstanding, she
clarified, “Kassidy is a relative of the Cruz family, specifically
Grady’s cousin.”
Marco's expression turned into a frown. “Then why would she want to harm you? Is Grady unaware of or
indifferent to his cousin’s actions?”

Loraine sighed, “Well... She's just a distant relative on Grady’s mother’s side.”
Initially, Loraine herself was puzzled as to why Kassidy harbored such animosity towards her.

Grady would marry Kassidy in the future that Loraine understood.
Kassidy saw her as a rival.
Marco was taken aback. Once he comprehended the situation, his face darkened.
“So it’s all Grady’s fault!”
Loraine asked bitterly, “How is it his fault?”
“He has ill intentions towards you, and he is a coward who can’t stand up to his own relatives when they harm
you. If it’s not his fault, then whose is it?” Marco mercilessly belittled Grady in front of Loraine.
“Furthermore, you've been hfor so long, and he hasn't even bothered to call you. If | hadn't gone there
tonight, how would he and his dear cousin have dealt with this assault?”
Loraine couldn't ignore Marco's words, and simultaneously, she felt a chilling sensation in her heart.

This was the first tLoraine had encountered Kassidy. There had been no prior animosity between them. It
was shocking for her to realize that Kassidy had devised such a malicious plan.
If Kassidy had succeeded tonight, one could only imagine the torment
Loraine would have endured.
Clearly, Kassidy had no intention of showing mercy. She wanted to make
Loraine suffer.
Loraine’s eyes darkened. Did Kassidy truly believe that she had no means to fight back?
As soon as Marco finished speaking, Loraine’s phone rang.
