“She hit me, Gary! You have no idea. She’s such a bitch! She’s best at playing with men! Don’t be deceived by her appearance!” Emily roared.
In reality, Gary was merely attracted to Grace’s looks and wanted to get her contact information. There wasn’t much of a concept of love at first sight involved.
Gary had invited Grace to dance, and when she declined, he didn’t think much of it. But now, with Emily’s outburst, what was a minor incident had escalated into a scene with a growing audience. Gary had a bad feeling about this.
Sure enough, a deep voice sounded from behind. “Mr. Taylor, it seems that Emily is not suitable for such events. I suggest both of you leave now.”
Being publicly dismissed by the host, could there be anything more embarrassing?
Emily couldn’t believe that Brian would, for the sake of a Grace, expel her in front of so many people.
She looked at him in disbelief. “Brian, we were classmates after all. How could
you be so heartless?”
Louise, who had been watching from the sidelines, was quite pleased with this turn of events. The enmity between Emily and Grace was now firmly established.
Seeing that the time was about right, Louise quickly stepped forward and, with a smile, tried to defuse the situation.
“What’s going on?” she asked, looking at Brian and then whispered to him, “Brian, after all, it’s the anniversary celebration. It’s better not to make things too awkward. We still have so much collaboration with the Taylor family. Harmony is the foundation of prosperity. Don’t you think?”
Brian’s face was still very stern. He glanced at Grace and noticed that she seemed not to care much about what was happening on their side.
In an instant, he felt that his intervention on her behalf seemed quite unnecessary.
“Miss Taylor is, after all, a girl. It’s quite hurtful to treat her like this. I won’t be able to be friends with Miss Taylor in the future,” Louise added. Brian’s expression softened a bit, and he said, “You handle it.”
Louise smiled. “Alright, thank you, Brian.”
Emily also didn’t expect that, after her earlier sarcasm toward Louise, she would be the one to plead for her.
As a result, Emily’s opinion of Louise had slightly changed for the better.
Louise glanced at Grace before turning to Emily and speaking in a friendly manner, “Emily, let’s go sit over there.”
Emily shot a fierce glare at Grace, as if to warn her that she would not let this go, and then followed Louise away.
Louise asked a waiter to bring an ice pack and considerately applied it to Emily’s face. “Miss Taylor, I told you earlier that Grace is quite the manipulator. Why did you still provoke her?”
Emily spoke indignantly. “I can’t stand those bitch the most! Gary invited her to dance, and she acted all high and mighty! I’ve seen so many women like her, clearly playing hard to get!” Louise agreed. “Indeed, that’s her usual trick.”

After a while, Louise mentioned one thing. “By the way, she has a child.”
“A child?” Emily was a little surprised.
Louise nodded. “But she herself isn’t even sure who the father is
“Could it be Brian’s?” Emily asked suspiciously.

Louise shook her head. “A paternity test has been done, and it’s not Brian’s. However, you must be cautious. She might resort to any despicable means to find a stepfather for her child. You should warn Gary to be on guard against her deceptions.” “Hmph, trying to scheme against the Taylor family, no way!”
A malicious glint appeared in Emily’s eyes. “They say the most important thing to a woman in this world is her child. To deal with her, let’s start with the child!”
