Chapter 642
Love bred hatred.
As a woman, Jasmine could tell Grace still had feelings for Brian.
Therefore, Jasmine was not worried about Grace getting together with another man.
Shortly after, Darren was approached by a few business partners. He could only smile apologetically at Grace.
Grace nodded slightly and walked away alone.
After she had some food in the buffet area, a sharp voice entered her ears.
“Oh dear! Where did this crow come from? Even after sneaking into the phoenix’s nest, it’s still a crow covered in black feathers.”
Grace paused and slowly turned to look at Sharon.
Sharon stood with a few female friends and looked at Grace with disdain.
Seeing Grace turn around to look at her, Sharon felt validated. She mocked, “Oh, the crow knows her place. She even knows that we’re talking about her.”
Her friends covered their mouths to muffle their laughter.
Grace glanced at Sharon indifferently out of the corner of her eye before turning to leave. Many people were around them, and she did not want to argue with Sharon publicly.
However, Sharon refused to let her go. Believing that Grace was afraid of her, Sharon became
emboldened. She stepped forward and blocked Grace’s path.
“Why are you leaving, crow? Are you here to find a sugar daddy?”
Grace looked at her coldly. “Miss Vance, seeing that you’re Justin’s sister, I don’t want to have any conflict with you. Let’s mind our own business, shall we?”
Grace’s cold profile made her look distant and arrogant. This unique temperament made Sharon feel that Grace was looking down on her.
“Tsk! Drop the facade. Have I misspoken? You have only been here for a while and already hooked up with two men. Yet, you are still clinging on to my brother! You’re truly despicable.”
Grace frowned and felt a little frustrated.
She warned in a low voice, “Miss Vance, if you continue to speak rudely, you’ll be the one who’ll lose face.”
“How dare you threaten me! You won’t know your place if I don’t teach you a lesson!”
Sharon raised her wine glass and splashed her drink at Grace.
Grace expected her to do this and quickly dodged.
The wine happened to splash on a waiter behind Grace.
The waiter was carrying a tray and was caught off guard by the wine splashing his way. His hand trembled, and the contents of his tray were scattered on the ground.

Wine splashed all over Sharon’s dress.
Sharon widened her eyes and did not know whether to scold Grace or the waiter. “You… Are you blind? You’re courting death!”
The waiter was scared and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Miss. It was an accident. Please forgive me!” Sharon declared, “Tsk! I will lodge a complaint against you. Get lost immediately!”
The waiter cleaned up the mess on
the ground and ran away. The

person in charge of the party immediately came over to deal with the mess.
Grace shook her head with a smile and turned to leave.
The waiter was fired. Sharon looked at the wine stains on her dress and gritted her teeth in anger.
She wanted to find trouble with Grace again, but the party had officially begun.
Charles’s birthday party gathered almost half the big shots in business and politics. Everyone’s gifts were extravagant.
The emcee reported on the gifts
from various people on stage. Some
gave watches, some gave famous brands of wine, and some even gave gold. As a business giant, the Francis family’s gift was also
expensive. They gave an antique to Charles.
Even the cheapest gifts were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
When the emcee announced Grace’s name, Grace came forward with a plain and elegant wooden box.
