Yancey followed her into the elevator. “It won’t matter if you’re jealous. Alice is a hundred times better than you.” Grace was too tired and couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.

Just as they exited the elevator, they ran into Alice, whose eyes immediately reddened upon seeing them. “Yancey!” she called out.

Yancey looked slightly flustered and quickly stepped forward, pulling her into his arms. “What’s wrong? Didn’t I tell you I’d be working gate? Why are you waiting for me?”

“Is it really work, or did you get tangled up with Grace again!”

Alice lowered her head, tears immediately welling up. Yancey kissed her cheek, then turned to Grace. “Grace, are you not going to apologize?”

Grace was so shocked by the absurdity of it all that she couldn’t react at first. Why did she have to apologize just because Alice was crying? She couldn’t help but laugh. “Why should I apologize? Because we’re in the same space?”

Yancey was left speechless, unable to respond. Alice grabbed his sleeve, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Grace. She wants to know when you come home, Liam is on summer break, and dinner tonight.

“Now, Grace, I deserved the slap yesterday. Don’t be mad. Mom was asking about you. You can’t keep causing trouble like this. It’s making everyone miserable.”

Very seemed to remember something and nodded. “Night! You slapped Alkor yesterday. Hurry up and apologize!”

Grace looked at the pair of manipulative individuals and smiled. “Lawd, you two must be out of your minds. You’re both delusional! One thinks I’m head over heels for him, and the other thinks I want to share his cheap attention. Maybe you should both go get a reality check.”

She turned on her heel and walked away with long strides. Yancey, seething with rage, instinctively released Alice and rushed after her.

“Visage, what the hell are you saying? You like me, don’t you? And now you’re talking to me like this?” he yelled. Alice stood in the lobby, watching them. Her expression twisted in an instant. She pulled out her phone and called Sloan.

“Alice, what happened?” Sloan panicked, leaving the private room and finding a quiet spot. “Did Grace bully you again?” he asked.

“No, she just slapped me, that’s all, Sloan. I’m just upset. I need someone to talk to.”

“That bitch! Just wait, I’ll make sure you get your revenge!” A smile flickered in Alice’s eyes, her mood lightening. As long as she wanted, she could have any man she wanted.

Grace had already reached the car, and Yancey stood with his arms crossed. “You used to never sit in a car worth less than 300 thousand dollars.” Grace had already gotten in. “Yancey, how about we meet at the Lambert residence tomorrow night to talk about the annulment of our engagement?” Vanery’s smug expression faltered when he heard that, and his face quickly darkened.

“Grier, you’re going too far this time.” Grace leaned back in the seat, sitting straight as a flower about to break. “7:00 PM. I’ll be waiting at the Lambert residence.” She turned to the driver and signaled to drive.

Yancey stood frozen, his eyes locked on the car driving away. At that moment, someone suddenly grabbed his arm. Then, he heard Alice’s voice, sounding like she was sobbing. “Yancey.”

“Alice, Grace said she wants to meet at the Lambert residence tomorrow at 7:00 PM to annul the engagement.” Surprise flashed in Alice’s eyes, but she looked down, pretending to be wronged. “She’s said that kind of thing a lot before. When the time comes, she just wants to get your attention. But this time, it looks like it worked. Yancey, do you really care about her now?”

Yancey looked a little guilty and immediately cupped her face, kissing her lips softly. Alice found any excuse to avoid it. Alice’s expression turned cold, and she pressed her lips together tightly.

“Yantry, did you see Mr. Edun today? I heard he came to the company,” she suddenly asked. “It’s strange. It’s the first time he’s been back in the company since coming back to the country.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Alice’s expression darkened even further. Her hands clenched slowly, her nails digging into her palm. “Beatty,” she said, “Could it be because of Grace?”

Yacory laughed as if he’d heard the funniest joke. “You can’t possibly think he’s stealing for her, right? Grace is just pretty and nothing else; he doesn’t care about…”

Adar slowly lowered the volume and looked up with a soft, gentle smile. “I was just saying for the sake of…
